Crosby was driving at approximately 50 mph when he struck the jogger, according to California Highway Patrol Spokesman Don Clotworthy. The posted speed limit was 55. The jogger suffered multiple fractures, and was airlifted to a hospital in Santa Barbara, Clotworthy said. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening. \"Mr. Crosby was cooperative with authorities and he was not impaired or intoxicated in any way.

+{"article": "(CNN)Sigma Alpha Epsilon is under fire for a video showing party-bound fraternity members singing a racist chant. SAE's national chapter suspended the students, but University of Oklahoma President David Boren took it a step further, saying the university's affiliation with the fraternity is permanently done. The news is shocking, but it's not the first time SAE has faced controversy. SAE was founded March 9, 1856, at the University of Alabama, five years before the American Civil War, according to the fraternity website. When the war began, the group had fewer than 400 members, of which \"369 went to war for the Confederate States and seven for the Union Army,\" the website says. The fraternity now boasts more than 200,000 living alumni, along with about 15,000 undergraduates populating 219 chapters and 20 \"colonies\" seeking full membership at universities. SAE has had to work hard to change recently after a string of member deaths, many blamed on the hazing of new recruits, SAE national President Bradley Cohen wrote in a message on the fraternity's website. The fraternity's website lists more than 130 chapters cited or suspended for \"health and safety incidents\" since 2010. At least 30 of the incidents involved hazing, and dozens more involved alcohol. However, the list is missing numerous incidents from recent months. Among them, according to various media outlets: Yale University banned the SAEs from campus activities last month after members allegedly tried to interfere with a sexual misconduct investigation connected to an initiation rite. Stanford University in December suspended SAE housing privileges after finding sorority members attending a fraternity function were subjected to graphic sexual content. And Johns Hopkins University in November suspended the fraternity for underage drinking. \"The media has labeled us as the 'nation's deadliest fraternity,' \" Cohen said. In 2011, for example, a student died while being coerced into excessive alcohol consumption, according to a lawsuit. SAE's previous insurer dumped the fraternity. \"As a result, we are paying Lloyd's of London the highest insurance rates in the Greek-letter world,\" Cohen said. Universities have turned down SAE's attempts to open new chapters, and the fraternity had to close 12 in 18 months over hazing incidents.", "summary": "Sigma Alpha Epsilon is being tossed out by the University of Oklahoma .

+{"article": "(CNN)I'm Candida Moss and I am professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame. I was an adviser on the \"True Cross\" episode and served as one of the many on-camera experts in CNN's \"Finding Jesus\" series, which currently airs on Sundays. Viewers were invited to tweet and post their questions on the \"Finding Jesus\" Facebook page during the show. Below are some of the more interesting questions and my answers to them. My apologies to everyone I didn't get to. Feel free to tweet your questions to me directly. Herb Scribner: Can anyone explain to me what the Bible's deal is with 40 days/nights? Moss: It's more an interest in the number 40. In the Hebrew Bible the people of Israel wander in the wilderness for 40 years before they reach the Holy Land. The flood lasts for 40 days and nights; Moses spends 40 days and nights on the mountain; Goliath spends 40 days encouraging the Israelites to challenge him before David steps up; 40 is a common age for people to be when they get married; in the book of Judges it is always 40 years between judges; and David and Solomon each reigned for 40 years. What we can take away from all of this is that people in the ancient world saw 40 as suggesting a full, complete period of time. It's sort of like a narrative stock number, in the way that modern jokes follow the rule of three. Yalanda M. Price: Was there any division between the followers of Jesus and the followers of John the Baptist? Moss: One of the interesting things about the relationship between Jesus and John the Baptist is that John doesn't lay down his tools and follow Jesus after he baptizes him. Nor, it seems, did John's disciples. They had separate ministries and, while there may have been contact between the two groups, they were also de facto competitors in the ancient religious marketplace. There are some hints in the New Testament that Jesus and his followers had to differentiate themselves from John by stating that Jesus' baptism was better (Acts 11:6) and countering the idea that Jesus was actually John raised from the dead (Matthew 14:2) Some scholars argue that these references are evidence of tension between followers of Jesus and followers of John. Mark Goodacre answers your questions about the Shroud of Turin. Jeffery Graff: Can the DNA tests on the bones indicate whether he is a Jew or even whether he is of the tribe of Levi? Moss: I'm so glad someone brought up DNA. The DNA tests on the Bulgarian bones yielded only mitochondrial DNA (DNA passed down by the mother), not the more reliable nuclear DNA (the kind of DNA referred to in forensic investigations). In the original study of the Bulgarian relics (of which I was a part) the mitochondrial DNA revealed that the Bulgarian relics were of \"probable Semitic origin.\" Thinking back to my time in the laboratory with the Copenhagen scientists, I recall that the lead investigator", "summary": "Religion professor Candida Moss appears in each episode of the program .

+{"article": "(CNN)Ferguson is crumbling. The cowardly and reprehensible shooting Wednesday night of two police officers came in a tumultuous seven days for the Missouri town, which had already seen Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson announce his resignation after a damning Justice Department report on its police department. The report, which was ordered in the wake of the killing of Michael Brown last year, highlighted a predatory policing problem and a department that was biased, prejudiced and that has regularly targeted, arrested and fined African-Americans. Residents understandably want justice. But what's worse in all this is that Ferguson is illustrative of a broader problem across the country as increasingly militarized majority-white police departments demonstrate consistent racial bias toward majority-black communities. It's a combustible mix. In three-quarters of all U.S. cities with populations 50,000 or more, the police presence is \"disproportionately white relative to the local population,\" according to The Washington Post. And tensions are being exacerbated by the use among police departments of military weapons, and stipulations that these former war zone weapons must be used within a year of acquisition. All this suggests a need for a completely new mindset on how we try to understand and implement policing practices across America. Indeed, a wholesale review of policies and approaches to law enforcement is needed, something that will likely necessitate drastic reforms in some departments so they can better represent, integrate, problem solve and liaise with the communities they are serving. First and foremost, our police departments must better reflect the diverse demographics of our increasingly diverse nation, whether it be race, creed, sexual orientation and more. America is changing fast, but police departments aren't keeping up. Training and recruitment of minorities is critical, yet far more needs to be taking place. With this in mind, amplifying community policing models that work and scaling them up immediately is essential if we are to stem the growing and sometimes overwhelming tide of frustration, anger and cynicism welling up among young African, Asian and Hispanic Americans. Second, we must radically rethink the trend toward the indiscriminate procurement and use of surplus military grade weaponry, which under the Department of Defense's 1033 program is flowing from battlefields to our local police forces. When the weapons of war come home from Iraq and Afghanistan to help police America's cities and towns, then you know something has gone terribly wrong with this country. Mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles, tanks, drones, grenades and assault weapons should not replace the community policing of our Main Streets. Ferguson is an excellent example of how the deployment of heavy weaponry inflames rather than de-escalates a crisis situation. Having military equipment on our streets does not make citizens feel safer, which is why the Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act was recently reintroduced in Congress. We do not need our officers looking like \"Robocop\" when they patrol our streets. It's that simple. Yet until such a bill is passed, war weapons will continue to flood our streets; Congress must act to stem this tide.

+{"article": "Coral Gables, Florida (CNN)Former President Bill Clinton on Saturday defended his family foundation's practice of taking money from foreign countries, arguing that while he doesn't agree with all of the policies of countries that contributed, he feels the foundation has \"done a lot more good than harm.\" The Clinton Foundation admitted last month that a 2010 donation from the Algerian government was not properly approved under the guidelines the Obama administration put in place with the foundation when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state in 2009. Bill Clinton defended the donations as something that went to worthwhile projects. \"The UAE [United Arab Emirates] gave us money. Do we agree with everything they do? No. But they are helping us fight ISIS and they built a great university with NYU open to people around the world,\" Clinton said at a foundation event in Florida. \"Do I agree with all the foreign policy of Saudi Arabia? No.\" Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman are among the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation. Clinton continued: \"You've got to decide when you do this work, whether it will do more good than harm if someone helps you from another country. ... I believe we have done a lot more good than harm.\" The story became a controversy for the Clintons, one where even some Democrats questioned the practice. Hillary Clinton is the party's presidential frontrunner in 2016 and is expected to announce her presidential aspirations next month. Republicans jumped on board the story, too, using it to question the Clintons' ethics and whether, as president, she would give preferential treatment to countries that have donated to the foundation. Democrats that did publicly defend the Clintons noted that the foundation disclosed all of their donation on their website. On Saturday, Clinton did the same. \"My theory about all this is disclose everything. And then let people make their judgments,\" Clinton said. \"I'm going to tell you who gave us money and you can make your own decisions.\" Clinton concluded his defense of the foundation, stating that he thinks organizations should \"bring people together across great divides, around things that they can agree on and find something to do to make peoples lives better.\" The Clinton Foundation was founded by Bill Clinton after he left the presidency in 2001. To date, the foundation has raised over $2 billion that goes toward a wide variety of projects, including health and wellness, economic development and leveling the playing field for women and girls. Many of their projects focus on international issues, such as rebuilding Haiti after the 2010 earthquake and providing access to low-cost HIV and AIDS treatment. Those were primarily the projects backed by foreign countries. The former president's comments were the only moment any Clinton mentioned the foreign fundraising controversy. Neither Hillary or Chelsea Clinton mentioned the issue. At no point Saturday did any of the Clintons address the fact that Hillary Clinton exclusively used a private email account for the four years she served as America's top diplomat, a practice that skirted legal standards", "summary": "Clinton Foundation has taken money from foreign governments .

+{"article": "(CNN)Diplomacy can be dangerous. U.S. diplomats have come under attack in various places in the last few decades. Here's a look at U.S. diplomats who have been killed in the line of duty. The first U.S. ambassador assassinated while in office was John Gordon Mein, the U.S. ambassador to Guatemala. According to a telegram from the embassy in Guatemala City, a young man dressed in fatigues and carrying a sub-machine gun on August 28, 1968, ordered Mein's vehicle to stop and for the ambassador to get out. He did, then ran -- prompting a cry of \"Shoot him, kill him.\" Mein was shot and fell to the ground about 12 yards behind his limousine. Cleo Noel Jr., the U.S. ambassador to Sudan, was nearing the end of a March 1973 reception in the Saudi Embassy in Khartoum when terrorists stormed in. The gunmen took Noel and another American, as well as diplomats from Saudi Arabia, Belgium and Jordan, according to a U.S. intelligence memo. The captors' demand: Free various people, mostly Palestinian guerillas, then imprisoned in Jordan, Israel and the United States. This spurred negotiations that didn't go anywhere, ending instead with the killing of Noel, fellow U.S. diplomat George Curtis Moore and Belgium's Charge d'Affaires. U.S. authorities say the assailants belonged to the Palestinian terrorist movement known as \"Black September,\" claiming that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat signed off on the attack. Ambassador Rodger Davies, who had been in Cyprus for less than months, hunkered down in a hallway on August 19, 1974, hoping he was safe from those involved in a nearby demonstration. Instead, a bullet penetrated the embassy compound and struck his heart, killing him instantly. Antoinette Varnava, a 31-year-old local who was part of the small embassy staff for about a decade, also died in the violence. U.S. ambassador to Lebanon Francis Meloy, his economic counselor Robert O. Waring and their Lebanese driver disappeared in June 1976 as they crossed the Green Line, the division between Beirut's Christian and Muslim sectors. Their bullet-riddled bodies were found a short time later in mainly Muslim west Beirut, which was then controlled by PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat's guerrillas. Two former Muslim guerillas were convicted in the kidnapping and killings, only to be freed in 1996. About eight months after President Jimmy Carter appointed him as U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Adolph Dubs was taken from his car while heading home from the embassy. His captors took the Foreign Service veteran to the Hotel Kabul, where Dubs died in a shootout between captors and Afghan police -- a violent death that, whomever fired the fatal bullets, the U.S. State Department considers an assassination. A former eight-story hotel facing the sea transformed into America's embassy in Beirut turned into a war zone in April 1983, when a truck loaded with explosives was rammed into its entrance. The result was horrific. Offices were pancaked on top of each other, the elevator shaft and stairwell destroyed, the cafeteria full of bodies and rubble, recalled the then U.S. ambassador Robert Dillon, who himself was dug out of the", "summary": "Several U.S. diplomats have died after being attacked .

+{"article": "(CNN)Debra Milke spent 22 years on death row, convicted of conspiring with two other men to kill her son allegedly for an insurance payout. On Monday, a judge ruled that the Arizona woman is innocent and dismissed all charges against her. This makes Milke only the second woman exonerated from death row in the United States. More importantly, the judge's decision finally clears Milke after years of legal back-and-forth in a case where she steadfastly maintained her innocence. Key to the case's dismissal was prosecutorial misconduct, mainly that of a detective, Armando Saldate, who said Milke confessed to the crime to him -- even though there was no witness or recording. Prosecutors withheld from the jury Saldate's personnel record which showed instances of misconduct in other cases, including lying under oath. The two men with whom Milke was accused of conspiring were tried separately and are still on death row. A day after seeing Santa Claus at a mall on December 1, 1989, young Christopher Milke asked his mother if he could go again. Milke's roomate, James Styers, took the boy; then called Milke saying Christopher had disappeared. Instead, Styers and a friend drove the boy out of town to a secluded ravine where Styers shot Christopher three times in the head, prosecutors said. Styers and the friend were convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Milke was implicated based on alleged testimony from Styer's friend, Roger Scott. The detective, Saldate, said Scott told him that Milke was involved in a plot to kill her son. And during her trial, prosecutors floated a likely motive: A $5,000 life insurance policy she had taken out on the child. But neither Scott nor Styers testified to a plot in court. No other witnesses or direct evidence linked Milke to the crime other than Saldate's testimony. Saldate further said that Milke confessed to her role in the murder plot during interrogation and said it was a \"bad judgment call.\" There was no recording of the interrogation, no one else was in the room or watching from a two-way mirror, and Saldate said he threw away his notes shortly after completing his report. Milke offered a vastly different view of the interrogation and denied that she had confessed to any role. The trial became a he-said/she-said contest between the two. Ultimately, the jury believed the detective and convicted Milke of murder. What prosecutors didn't tell the court was the detective's long history of lying under oath and misconduct. Saldate had been suspended five days for taking \"liberties\" with a female motorist and lying about it to his supervisors. Four confessions or indictments had been tossed out because Saldate had lied under oath. Judges suppressed or vacated four other confessions because Saldate had violated a person's constitutional rights. In 2013, after more than 20 years in jail, an appeals court overturned Milke's conviction. \"The Constitution requires a fair trial,\" Chief Judge Alex Kozinski of the federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals wrote. \"This never happened in Milke's case.\" \"The state knew of the evidence in the personnel", "summary": "Debra Milke was convicted of murder in her son's death, given the death penalty .

The Iraqi soldiers are reportedly approaching the city from five directions, as they seek to prevent ISIS militants from either escaping from Tikrit or sending in reinforcements to bolster its defense. The operation is part of a wide-scale offensive to retake Tikrit and Salahuddin province ordered by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Sunday. It has highlighted the role played by neighboring Iran in the fight against ISIS, at a time when the United States and five other world powers are negotiating with Tehran on a controversial deal to curb its nuclear program. The semiofficial Iranian FARS news agency reports that Qassim Sulaimani, the commander of the elite Iranian Al-Quds Brigade, is helping oversee the operation to retake Tikrit. Iran has provided advisers, weapons and ammunition to the Iraqi government. According to the Pentagon, there may be Iranians operating heavy artillery and rocket launchers as well. Despite the reported Iranian assistance, the Iraqi forces face no easy task as they seek to advance on Tikrit. Besides the direct threat posed by ISIS fighters, they must also avoid the large numbers of homemade bombs that litter the approaches to the city. Iraq has not asked the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS to provide air cover for the operation to retake Tikrit.

Tikrit fell to ISIS in June of 2014, after the group's capture of Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul. Tikrit is best known to Westerners as the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. ISIS, the radical Sunni militant group, has been on a murderous campaign to establish a caliphate across swaths of Iraq and Syria. On Monday, Iraqi forces approached Tikrit from several fronts, Iraqiya TV reported, engaging with ISIS north of the city at al-Alam and south of the city at al-Dour. The element of surprise probably was not a factor, as reports of Iraqi troops amassing near Tikrit were widely shared. What awaits the Iraqi army is most likely a long, hard slog and not a quick rout. Tikrit is a big city, and the army and its associated militias have had problems recapturing much smaller towns from ISIS. There have been several failed attempts to recapture Tikrit since the second half of 2014. While Iraqi forces have gained some territory in the area, it has generally been under ISIS control for the last eight months or so.

Jonathan acknowledged the phone call and his defeat in a written statement to his countrymen. \"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,\" he said. The Independent National Electoral Commission is still announcing the final tally in the polls, but early numbers indicate Buhari, now the President-elect, has an overwhelming majority of votes. Buhari ruled Nigeria from late 1983 until August 1985 after ousting his predecessor in a coup. His 20-month rule was known for what he described as a \"war on indiscipline,\" a tough regime that some say was marred by human rights abuses. The 72-year-old retired major general's experience as a military ruler has variably been viewed as a plus or minus in present-day Nigeria, where the government has been locked in a deadly battle with the militant group Boko Haram. His campaign has focused on security and ending corruption in Nigeria. Read more: Who is Nigeria's Muhammadu Buhari?

Demonstrators fired gunshots and torched a local electoral office in Nigeria's oil-rich Rivers state on Sunday as they marched to protest the elections amid claims of vote-rigging and voter intimidation. After the protests in Rivers, Buhari's All Progressives Congress demanded the elections there be canceled. \"There's been so much violence in Rivers state that it's just not tenable,\" party spokesman Lai Mohammed said. But the People's Democratic Party disputed the accusation, saying the election was \"credible and the result reflects the overwhelming wish of the people of Rivers state to support President Goodluck Jonathan.\" Both candidates took to social media to call for calm. \"I want to urge all Nigerians to also wait patiently for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to collate and announce results,\" Jonathan said on his Facebook account. \"Fellow Nigerians, I urge you to exercise patience and vigilance as we wait for all results to be announced,\" Buhari said on Twitter.

Greenman said he expects the problem to continue beyond April, when weaning normally occurs, when the pups are 10 or 11 months old. Dave Koontz, director of communications for SeaWorld San Diego, said SeaWorld has rescued nearly 500 sea lions this year. \"This is a new record for Sea World,\" Koontz said. \"In 1983 we rescued 474.\" Some of the sea lions responded to have had to be euthanized. \"They [sea lion pups] have to be able to eat and fish on their own before they can be released back into the wild, and a lot of these pups haven't even been weaned,\" Greenman said. Greenman said California has had warmer weather than usual this year, and, while NOAA is still conducting studies on the Channel Islands to get a more proven explanation, warmer water drives the food source farther out or deeper into the ocean, where the colder water is. When food is farther away, the mothers are away from the pup too long in search of food, and return with little food or too few nutrients for a growing sea lion. \"We have been seeing emaciated or dehydrated sea lions show up on beaches,\" Greenman said. However, he said, the species has made a comeback since the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. California's sea lion population has grown to 300,000 from an estimated population of 10,000 in the 1950s, according to the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. People who observe stranded sea lions are advised not to touch them or attempt to rescue them, because it can be dangerous and it is illegal. Instead, call any of the rescue agencies listed on NOAA West Coast Region's website. If the animal has died, the local dead animal pickup service should be alerted.", "summary": "\"There has been an unusually high number of sea lions stranded since January,\" NOAA representative says .

+{"article": "(CNN)Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was hiding an illness from his employers and had been declared \"unfit to work\" by a doctor, according to German authorities investigating what could have prompted the seemingly competent and stable pilot to steer his jetliner into a French mountain. Investigators found a letter in the waste bin of his Dusseldorf, Germany, apartment saying that Lubitz, 27, wasn't fit to do his job, city prosecutor Christoph Kumpa said Friday. The note, Kumpa said, had been \"slashed.\" Just what was ailing Lubitz hasn't been revealed. The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that Lubitz suffered from mental illness and kept his diagnosis concealed from his employer. A Dusseldorf clinic said he'd gone there twice, most recently 17 days ago, \"concerning a diagnosis.\" But the University Clinic said it had not treated Lubitz for depression. German investigators said they still have interviews and other work to do before they'll be able to reveal just what they found in the records in Lubitz's apartment in a quiet, suburban neighborhood. They found no goodbye note or confession, authorities said. But the fact that investigators found \"ripped, recent medical leave notes, including for the day of the offense, leads to the preliminary conclusion that the deceased kept his illness secret from his employer and his professional environment,\" prosecutors said. Authorities left Lubitz's apartment Friday night with boxes of papers and evidence folders after spending about 90 minutes inside. According to authorities in Germany and France, Lubitz was a co-pilot on Germanwings Flight 9525 between Barcelona, Spain, and Dusseldorf on Tuesday when he apparently locked the captain out of the cockpit, then activated a control causing the plane to descend toward rugged terrain. Germanwings said the plane dropped for about eight minutes from its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet before crashing. The only sounds, authorities said, were those of pounding on the cockpit door, Lubitz's steady breathing and, eventually, screaming passengers. An 8-minute descent to death . Lubitz and 149 other people on board the plane died in an instant, authorities say. Mother, daughter among 3 American victims . What could have prompted Lubitz to deliberately destroy the aircraft, killing everyone on board, remained the focus of investigators in Germany. Officials said Lubitz was not known to be on any terrorism list, and his religion was not immediately known. He had passed medical and psychological testing when he was hired in 2013, said Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings. While the ailment Lubitz had sought treatment for hasn't been revealed, that he was declared unfit for work is an important detail, aviation analysts say. Pilots are required to maintain their fitness to fly and must tell their airline if they're found unfit, CNN aviation analyst David Soucie said. Reuters reported that a German newspaper said Lubitz had been treated for depression about six years ago. Citing internal documents forwarded by Lufthansa to German authorities, Bild reported that Lubitz had suffered a \"serious depressive episode\" around the time he took a break from his pilot training", "summary": "Reuters reports German newspaper says Lubitz took break in 2009 due to depression .

+{"article": "(CNN)I was deeply moved watching Julianne Moore win the Oscar for \"Still Alice,\" a movie I was proud and privileged to be an executive producer on. Julianne gives a harrowing performance as a brilliant 50-year-old college professor who loses her brain and herself to early-onset Alzheimer's disease. This is a huge moment for Julianne -- and a huge moment for all of us who have been trying to focus public attention on this staggering disease. Witnessing Alzheimer's progress on the big screen is as terrifying as it is in real life. I know, because I'm a child of Alzheimer's. The mind of my father, Sargent Shriver, had always been a finely tuned instrument that left people in awe and inspired. But my family and I watched Alzheimer's erase that brain -- slowly, inexorably, completely. It was terrifying, too, because back then, the disease was surrounded by shame and silence. Alzheimer's still carries a stigma of the unknown -- even though today more than 5 million Americans have it. That's right. Every 67 seconds, another one of us develops Alzheimer's. Women in their 60s are about twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's as breast cancer. With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day, there will be 13.5 million of us with Alzheimer's by 2050. And many people don't understand that Alzheimer's isn't a natural part of aging. Alzheimer's is a disease that kills. The truth is, we're right in the middle of an epidemic, but we as a nation are in denial. An Oscar for \"Still Alice\" is shining the brightest light yet on Alzheimer's, but light isn't enough anymore. Attention isn't enough. It's time to get serious. Alzheimer's is exerting a powerful impact on American families -- on our health, our finances, and our futures. And women are disproportionately affected. Why women? Back in 2010, when we published \"The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Takes on Alzheimer's,\" we reported that women were more than half the individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's and nearly two-thirds of the unpaid caregivers of those who had it. Now those numbers are far worse. Today nearly two-thirds of those with Alzheimer's are women -- that's more than 3.2 million women. And more than 60% of caregivers for people with Alzheimer's and dementia are women, with many having to reduce their own workload or even drop out of the workforce altogether to care for loved ones. Opinion: Why 'Still Alice' is about you . Women are the epicenter of this crisis, which is why I believe they also have to be the solution. So, in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association and so many inspiring women already working on the front lines to fight this disease, we have launched the Wipe Out Alzheimer's Challenge, a multipronged campaign powered by women's brains. Our mission is to enlist women of all ages to get educated, engaged and empowered to instigate change. Women around the country will go out and raise the alarm, raise awareness, raise the stakes and raise millions of dollars to fund serious research into women's brains. And there's so", "summary": "Maria Shriver's father was stricken by Alzheimer's, a growing scourge in U.S. Women are disproportionately affected as sufferers and caregivers, she says .

Many of those injured were in critical condition, said Mohammed Bakir Hossain, the top government physician of Bagerhat district. Mohammad Niazmur Rahman, the fire and civil defense official coordinating the search and rescue effort, said early Thursday evening that two people had been pulled alive from the rubble and as many as 30 others are believed to be still trapped. Deputy inspector general of police of Khulna range SM Monir Uz Zaman said the number of those still trapped was unclear \"as we're not sure how many people were working inside.\" The collapse took place around 1 p.m. (3 a.m. ET) in Mongla, a port city in the Asian nation's Bagerhat District. The factory is owned by Sena Kalyan Sangstha, a welfare organization for former Bangladeshi troops and their beneficiaries, according to Rahman and other local officials. Video from Boishakhi TV showed medical workers tending to the injured as they were wheeled into a local medical facility caked in dust. Deadly incidents at factories and other buildings, sadly, are nothing new in Bangladesh. The worst happened on April 24, 2013, when a nine-story building that housed five garment factories collapsed. Rescuers managed to save the lives of more than 2,400 people, but more than 1,100 died in the horrific accident. And a November 2012 apparel factory fire on Dhaka's outskirts killed at least 117 people, some of whom jumped from the building to escape the flames. Most of the dead were women, almost half of them burned so badly that DNA tests were needed to identify them. That blaze led to the convictions of 13 people for gross negligence of safety measures and spurred widespread criticism about the state of workers' rights in Bangladesh. The government responded by revamping laws so that workers no longer need approval from employers to form trade unions, and every factory that sells within the country also has to pledge 5% of their profits toward a workers' welfare fund. The government also boosted minimum wages from $38 to around $68 per month. Yet this hasn't stopped more deadly incidents, including the January deaths of at least 13 people when a fire broke out inside a Dhaka factory.

An employee at the center has tested positive for the bacterium, which is kept at the facility. The employee is not sick, and Jason McDonald, a CDC spokesman, said the bacteria probably aren't a threat to the general population. Inspectors from the CDC and the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said the misuse of outer garments \"could have led to the bacteria clinging to inner garments and getting carried out of the select agent lab where research was being conducted with the bacteria on mice,\" a news release said. \"Additionally, CDC and APHIS inspectors determined that Tulane primate center staff frequently entered the select agent lab without appropriate protective clothing, which would increase the risk of bringing the bacteria out of the lab or becoming infected themselves.\" The bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, was being tested on mice in a biosafety level 3 lab at the Covington, Louisiana campus. It can cause can cause melioidosis, also known as Whitmore's disease. All research with the agent at the facility was suspended on February 11 and will remain suspended until it can be shown that there are no more risks and that proper procedures are being followed, the CDC said. The CDC says the primate facility can resume that research when Tulane officials show inspectors that: . \u2022 Entity-wide procedures exist to ensure animals accidentally exposed in the future are managed appropriately; . \u2022 All personal protective equipment procedures are thoroughly reviewed and revised appropriately to lessen the risk of future breaches; . \u2022 All Tulane primate center personnel are trained on any new or revised protective clothing procedures; and . \u2022 Improved entry and exit procedures to the outside enclosures housing non-human primates are in place to stop any further transmission among the animals.\" The CDC and U.S. Department of Agriculture say they have completed their investigation, which began in November when two monkeys were diagnosed with Whitmore's disease. Six others had antibodies indicating exposure to the bacterium. According to the CDC, \"the bacteria causing melioidosis are found in contaminated water and soil. It is spread to humans and animals through direct contact with the contaminated source.\" It is not transmitted between humans or animals, \"and the risk of acquiring melioidosis is low,\" the CDC said.

He continued: \"During this time I have also worked closely with the Department of Justice to identify opportunities to improve, and then moved quickly to implement its recommendations for change. \"And while I certainly respect the work that the DOJ recently performed in their investigation and report on the City of Ferguson, I must state clearly that my office has never instructed the police department to target African Americans, nor falsify charges to administer fines, nor heap abuses on the backs of the poor.

+{"article": "(CNN)The case of a Georgia woman, whose execution was postponed for a second time Monday, is once again shining the national spotlight on one of the most fundamental questions we as a nation face: When do we put our own citizens to death? But it's an issue on which this country is all over the place. \"As it relates to crimes against individuals ... the death penalty should not be expanded to instances where the victim's life was not taken.\" That was Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority in Kennedy v. Louisiana (2008). You might think at first the Department of Justice isn't listening. After all, the U.S. federal government lists dozens of capital offenses that are punishable by death, and not all of them involve a victim's life being taken. They fall into three main categories: 1) homicide offenses; 2) espionage and treason; and 3) nonhomicidal narcotics offenses. While most of them involve the death of a victim, not all of them do. But what happened to all that \"shouldn't expand death penalty to crimes where the victim's life was not taken\" language from the Supreme Court? Doesn't the Department of Justice have to listen to the Supreme Court? They do, and they have. The Department of Justice has read the high court's fine print in Kennedy v. Louisiana: \"Our concern here is limited to crimes against individual persons. We do not address, for example, crimes defining and punishing treason, espionage, terrorism, and drug kingpin activity, which are offenses against the State. As it relates to crimes against individuals, though, the death penalty should not be expanded to instances where the victim's life was not taken.\" Ah. As with most things, there are exceptions to the rule -- though reasonable minds may differ on the reasoning behind those exceptions. Apparently, when we are talking about crimes against people, the death penalty should not be expanded to nonhomicide-type crimes. If it's a crime against the state, well, it's game on. After all, treason is one of three crimes mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, so there's a good argument that the federal statute authorizing death for treason is \"constitutional\" -- because it's actually in the constitution. (Yet another reason why federal court is not a place where defendants want to be -- it's no secret defense attorneys would rather be in state court, where the penalties are less severe and where everything isn't illegal). While it varies from state to state, as a very general proposition, the death penalty is almost universally reserved for the crime of murder. Murder is a subcategory of the broader class of homicide, and death penalty crimes are normally a subcategory of murder. As another very general proposition in the States, murder -- plus something on top that makes it more egregious -- is what will qualify as a capital crime. It would be nice to say that capital murder in the states is always defined as an intentional killing, but even that has exceptions. In fact, in some states, you can be executed for a victim's", "summary": "U.S. federal government lists dozens of capital offenses punishable by death .

And the response to the song and video further solidified my belief that every Pakistani wants the same. They just need someone to show them the way. And to me, education is the way forward. It's the the key to progress and peace. I also feel that there is a lot more to Pakistan than what the world gets to see. Pakistan is a beautiful land with beautiful people who -- like those in any other nation -- want to live in harmony with themselves and the world. A place where people sing, dance and play. Unfortunately because of an extremist minority, it is sometimes seen as an extremist country. But no society is void of extremism in one way or the other. This is something that we all need to work towards -- the international community and us. Pakistan needs your help. It has been fighting this battle for years and lost countless lives in the process. Its economy has also suffered. The world needs to see Pakistan in a whole different light to help us out of this darkness. They need to partner with us towards progress. They need to understand the complexities of this society and the fact that it's not easy to survive through all that this country has been through.

That's going to make this all the more complicated for the investigators, the public, to accept, to understand ... why deadly force had to be used.\" The officer who killed Robinson, 12-year department veteran Matt Kenny, had used deadly force before, shooting and killing a man in 2007, the chief said. Kenny was exonerated of any wrongdoing and even received a commendation, the chief said, adding that the incident was \"concluded to be a suicide by cop\" situation. Robinson was shot after allegedly assaulting Kenny, who was responding Friday evening to a reported disturbance at a Madison residence, Koval said. Afterward, protesters in this university town took to the streets and converged on City Hall, chanting \"Black lives matter.\" Koval called for calm, while acknowledging the protests are reminiscent of those that followed the deaths of black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island, New York, after confrontations with police. Police described Robinson as African-American. \"In light of so much things that have happened not just across the country, but in our own community, it's understandable that the reaction at the scene and of some of our citizens is extremely volatile, emotional and upsetting,\" the police chief told CNN affiliate WKOW-TV. \"And we understand that. That's absolutely appropriate under these circumstances. We would urge, obviously, that everyone exercise restraint.\" Koval said he visited the home of Robinson's mother late Friday night and met Robinson's grandparents outside the house. They talked and prayed, the chief said, but they advised him to put off visiting Robinson's mother \"based on the dynamics\" of the situation. \"I couldn't even begin to get my hands around the enormity of the loss and the tragic consequences,\" he said. \"Nineteen years old is too young.\" Robinson's mother, Andrea Irwin, told CNN affiliate WKOW that she didn't understand what happened. \"My son has never been a violent person, never,\" she said. \"To die in such a violent way baffles me.\" Irwin said Robinson served as a father figure to her other children. \"He was our caretaker and so gentle,\" she said. The incident started when authorities got a call that a black male was yelling and jumping in front of cars, Koval said. Dispatchers identified him as Robinson, according to 911 audio obtained by WKOW. A little later the dispatcher says, \"Apparently Tony hit one of his friends, um no weapons seen.\" About four minutes later, the dispatcher says, \"I got another call for the same suspect at [the same address]. He tried to strangle another patron.\" About 30 seconds later, an unidentified officer says, \"Shots fired, shots fired.\" When Kenny went to the apartment, he heard some commotion and forced his way in, Koval said. \"Once inside the home the subject involved in this incident -- the same one allegedly out in traffic and that had battered someone -- assaulted my officer,\" Koval said.

Taking center stage this week -- videotape never before seen in public, taken from Hernandez's own home security system. Prosecutors are using that grainy footage to suggest Hernandez is holding a .45-caliber handgun -- the same kind police say was used to kill Lloyd. Hernandez is seen on camera pulling into his driveway minutes after Lloyd was shot to death in an industrial park about a mile from Hernandez' Boston home. \"In my opinion, the firearm shown in the video stills is a Glock pistol,\" Glock sales manager Kyle Aspinwall testifies. Hernandez, Ernest Wallace, and Carlos Ortiz are seen on the same security video, recorded at about 3:30 a.m. on June 17, 2013, after the men walk into Hernandez's home. All three have been charged with murder in the death of Lloyd and have pleaded not guilty. Wallace and Ortiz are being tried separately. The video is time-stamped minutes after workers in a nearby industrial park describe hearing loud noises like fireworks -- the moment prosecutors say Lloyd was gunned down after getting out of a car driven by Hernandez. Jurors lean forward in their chairs, peering into monitors and scribbling notes as Aspinwall, a former Massachusetts state trooper and New Hampshire police chief, takes them frame by frame through video during two days of testimony. Aspinwall tells jurors Hernandez appears to be holding the pistol by its muzzle as he's standing at his basement door. The defense will have none of it. They attack Aspinwall's credentials. Aspinwall is well-schooled in Glocks but admits he doesn't consider himself a gun identification expert. Hernandez's lawyers then show a different part of the video time-stamped a few seconds earlier with Hernandez holding what appears to be a shiny object in one hand, suggesting it may be an iPad. \"Glock pistols don't have white glows to them, do they?\" defense attorney James Sultan asks. \"No, they do not,\" Aspinwall answers. Sultan then displays a soft-pellet gun similar in shape to a Glock, suggesting it could also be the object Hernandez is holding. Prosecutors dispute the suggestion. \"Are you aware of anybody going pellet gun shooting at 3:30 in the morning?\" Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Patrick Bomberg asks Aspinwall. University of New Hampshire law professor Michael McCann calls the Glock expert's findings powerful; yet, he thinks the defense did a solid job of raising questions about the fuzzy video. \"The jury might think that the defense is just throwing things against the wall,\" he says. \"But on the other hand, the jury may feel like it could be one of a dozen things.

+{"article": "(CNN)Two million illnesses. 23,000 deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that's the human toll from antibiotic-resistant \"superbugs\" each year in the United States. To fight the growing problem of infections that can't be treated, the administration of President Barack Obama is implementing a five-year national action plan at a cost of $1.2 billion. Those funds, part of the President's 2015 budget, which must still be approved by Congress, would nearly double the amount of federal money allocated to the fight. The plan calls for creating a \"one-health\" approach to testing and reporting superbugs around the country, as well as establishing a DNA database of resistant bacteria. New, rapid tests to detect emerging resistant bacteria will be developed. Research for new antibiotics and vaccines will accelerate. The plan calls for two new options for people, and three for animals, by 2020. Global surveillance and cooperation is also stressed, including a global database for animals. A key goal is to slow the growth and spread of superbugs by reducing the use of antibiotics when they aren't needed. The plan calls for a 50% reduction in inappropriate antibiotic use in doctor's offices and a 20% reduction in hospital use by 2020. \"This is a lofty goal,\" said internist and Emory Associate Professor Dr. Sandra Fryhofer. \"It's important for both patients and professionals to be on board.\" There are still details to work out. \"Who determines what's appropriate?\" asked Atlanta pediatrician Dr. Jennifer Shu. \"Are we going to have a checklist of requirements that have to be met? I think it might be a bit tough to measure, but I think improvement can definitely happen.\" A recent survey of 796 health care professionals found 63% of the sample prescribed antibiotics when they weren't absolutely necessary, at least 10% of the time. A top reason: the patient requested it. \"Some patients put a lot of pressure on doctors to give them an antibiotic, and they may think they're not getting good care if they're not given one. But that's just not true,\" said Fryhofer. \"It's become like an insurance policy but it's an insurance policy that doesn't give good dividends.\" \"I do find there is a lot of education that has to go on with patients that might expect antibiotics when their child is sick,\" said Shu, \"but I think in recent years I have seen more of an awareness, and many of my patients are more hesitant to ask.\" Another part of the plan pledges to eliminate the widespread use of antibiotics to boost the growth of animals raised for food. It will also phase in oversight by veterinarians for other uses of antibiotics in feed and water. While applauding the spirit of the pledge, critics say the limits are still too voluntary and limited in scope. \"The problem we have with the plan is that it only removes the growth claims from the label,\" said senior analyst Steve Roach at Keep Antibiotics Working. \"What we hoped for in the plan was a commitment from FDA to identify which antibiotic uses other", "summary": "Antibiotic resistance is a pressing public health issue, CDC says .

They're the backbone of public transport in Uganda and the fastest way to get around the capital city, Kampala. The boda boda motorbike taxi is a staple used by all sectors of society. Traditionally, the usual way of catching a ride was to venture into any street corner packed with tens of boda bodas or simply waiting for one to pass by. But now, a new local startup are bringing this classic mode of transport into the technological age by providing the ability to hail a boda boda at the click of a smartphone. \"Bodas are the main thing getting people from A to B,\" says Alastair Sussock, co-founder of SafeBoda, \"and we're trying to professionalize this transportation in the city.\" The motorbike taxis have their greatest popularity globally in Uganda, with over 80,000 riding the streets of Kampala, according to Sussex who wants to seize upon the country's burgeoning young population. Uganda has more than 24% of the population aged between 10 and 19 years old, according to UNICEF -- and Sussock wants them to get on their bikes. \"Young people use smartphones in Kampala and it's one of the youngest countries in the world,\" he says. For now, the Uber-like startup operates mainly in the northern districts of Kampala, where a click on the SafeBoda app -- in addition to the traditional method of hailing them on the street -- will bring you a Safeboda bike, complete with a uniformed driver in a bright orange jacket, helmet and fully trained in road safety. He'll even have a helmet for you. Safety has long been a concern for those riding boda bodas as the bikes are a leading cause of death and head injury in Kampala. A study conducted at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, by researchers at Makerere University, identified approximately 40% of trauma cases at the hospital to be due to boda-boda accidents.

The ride was in fact calmer than those taken with other bodas, and unlike some, as we ride along the congested streets no kerbs were scaled or mounted to avoid the traffic.

The state postponed the first planned execution because of \"weather and associated scheduling issues,\" department spokeswoman Gwendolyn Hogan said. \"Prior to the execution, the drugs were sent to an independent lab for testing of potency. The drugs fell within the acceptable testing limits,\" the Georgia Department of Corrections said in a statement. \"Within the hours leading up to the scheduled execution, the Execution Team performed the necessary checks. At that time, the drugs appeared cloudy. The Department of Corrections immediately consulted with a pharmacist, and in an abundance of caution, Inmate Gissendaner's execution has been postponed.\" Repeating the \"abundance of caution\" wording, the department issued a news release Tuesday, saying, \"The scheduled executions of Kelly Renee Gissendaner and Brian Keith Terrell have been postponed while an analysis is conducted of the drugs planned for use in last night's scheduled execution of inmate Gissendaner.\" Gissendaner, 47, is condemned to die for a 1997 murder plot in which she conspired with boyfriend Gregory Owen to murder her husband. Terrell was convicted in the shooting and beating death of a 70-year-old friend of his mother's after the man called police to say Terrell had stolen checks from him, according to the Georgia attorney general's office. Gissendaner has already requested an extravagant last meal: two Burger King Whoppers with cheese (with everything), two large orders of fries, popcorn, cornbread, a side of buttermilk and a salad with tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, carrots, cheese, boiled eggs and Newman's Own buttermilk dressing, the Corrections Department said. She also requested a glass of lemonade and cherry-vanilla ice cream for dessert. Terrell was scheduled to die between March 10 and 17.

Even at dark moments for this country -- after 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina, for example -- my tendency is always to scout out the sliver of hope for future progress. But I've got to be honest with you, sometimes that optimism only goes so far. The morning after the 2004 election, when voters in 11 states passed constitutional bans on marriage equality, I never thought I'd see committed and loving gay and lesbian couples getting married in my lifetime -- in Alabama of all places. What's more, I certainly never thought that, 50 years after a march for voting rights went from Selma to Montgomery, that the first couple to get married there would be a courageous African-American couple, Tori Sisson and Shant\u00e9 Wolfe, who camped out overnight on the sidewalk outside the courthouse just to be the first in line. They slept on that chilly pavement despite the ravings of Chief Justice Roy Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court, who has issued baseless edict after baseless edict urging the state's probate judges to ignore a federal court ruling (which supersedes a state ruling) and to refuse to treat LGBT people equally under the law. Even today, more than half the counties in the state are refusing to issue licenses to gay couples. In an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo on Thursday, Chief Justice Moore even compared refusing marriage licenses to gay couples to refusing to enforce the 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford decision (which upheld the legal status of slaves as property). I'm not a trained lawyer, but the logic seems to be that the refusal to treat people like slaves under the law is similar to the refusal to grant gay and lesbians their equal rights to marry under the law. That logic is not only faulty (restricting rights is not similar to expanding them) but offensive. The 13 states that still ban same-sex marriage .

George Wallace actually blocking two African-American students from entering the auditorium of the University of Alabama as they tried to desegregate the school; of civil rights battles come and gone.

Even with Alabama entering the marriage equality column, there are still 13 states that deny these couples their equal rights.

He described Williams as a frequent protester in the city -- which some took issue with. Bishop Derrick Robinson, an area organizer, said he spoke to Williams on Sunday. \"I asked him why would he say that he was a protester because it makes us look bad -- because so many things that we've done to rebuild our community,\" Robinson said. \"It sets us like five steps back to say that it was a protester who did it, but he admitted to me that he'd never protested.\" For more than 200 days, protests have taken place in Ferguson since the August shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson was not indicted. At the time of his arrest, Williams was on probation for receiving stolen property. The prosecutor thanked the public for the information that led to the arrest. He said police served a search warrant on Williams' residence where they seized a .40-caliber handgun, \"which has been tied to the shell casings that were recovered\" at the scene of the shooting.

On March 2, the United States District Court struck down Nebraska's ban on marriage for same-sex couples, but that ruling is on appeal. Then there were 12: Nebraska ordered to end same-sex marriage ban . Without the legal institution of marriage, LGBT Nebraskans typically lack family health benefits, unless their employers provide them to same-sex partners. A 2014 study from the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles found that states without LGBT legal protections in place see lower rates of health insurance coverage for LGBT residents than states with protections. That plays out in Nebraska. A 2014 study from researchers at the University of Nebraska Omaha found that LGBT residents in the rural parts of the state have lower rates of health insurance coverage than their counterparts in urban areas. Time to close HIV's racial disparities . Even when LGBT Nebraskans have health insurance, they struggle to find providers versed in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender heath care needs. Research shows that LGBT individuals often experience health issues linked to being regular targets of discrimination or social stigma. Discrimination has been linked to higher rates of substance abuse, suicide and stress-related illnesses, which can include heart problems, obesity, eating disorders and cancer. If the available doctors are not familiar with the increased rates of these issues, they may provide inadequate care. Patients who find their doctors do not understand their issues may also delay treatment, often with bad health outcomes, said Jay Irwin, an assistant professor of sociology at the University", "summary": "A 2014 study finds LGBT residents in rural parts of Nebraska have lower rates of health insurance coverage .

Its team has been eliminated before the group stages of the competition has even finished after a demoralizing defeat to Bangladesh, who qualified for the quarterfinals. It means England, who invented the game of cricket but has never won the World Cup, still hasn't been past the last eight stage of the one-day tournament since 1992. Chasing a target of 276 off its 50 overs in Adelaide, Australia, England slumped to 260 all out, with only Jos Buttler offering any meaningful resistance. The wicketkeeper struck a brisk 65 after England's top order failed to lay a platform for victory, before he was dismissed by Taskin Ahmed. England captain Eoin Morgan failed again with the bat, lasting just three balls before succumbing to Rubel Hossain for no score. It marks another miserable display from one of cricket's supposed powerhouses on the world stage, its only victory in the 2015 competition coming against minnows Scotland. Whereas other teams in the tournament have taken an aggressive approach, some posting totals of over 400, England's modus operandi has looked slovenly and outdated. \"Pretty poor to be knocked out of a World Cup so early, it is very disappointing,\" Morgan said at the post-match presentation. \"I can't put my finger on it at the moment. I'm gutted. We've struggled and fought our way since we arrived -- one of our big things was to fight hard and try to get through to the quarterfinals. \"Our expectations are much higher than this. I've no idea what happens from here -- it's a surprise we're out this early. There will be an inquest over the next few weeks and we'll go from there.\" Coach Peter Moores is bound to come in for renewed criticism, and the clamor for the return of one of England's best one-day players -- Kevin Pietersen -- is sure to grow louder. South African-born Pietersen was sacked after the disastrous tour to Australia in 2014/15, the England and Wales Cricket Board saying he was a disruptive dressing room influence. \"It's a hollow feeling at the moment,\" Moores said after England's defeat. \"You feel like you have let people down.\" Despite committing a year to prepare for the World Cup, England dismissed Alastair Cook as skipper less than two months before the tournament in Australia and New Zealand began.

+{"article": "(CNN)Britain's Lewis Hamilton made the perfect start to his world title defense by winning the opening race of the F1 season in Australia Sunday to lead a Mercedes one-two in Melbourne. Polesitter Hamilton controlled the race on the Albert Park street circuit to win from teammate Nico Rosberg of Germany. Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel took the final podium position for his new team Ferrari, holding off Felipe Massa in the Willams. It was the 34th career victory for two-time world champion Hamilton and underlined the continued dominance of Mercedes as he and Rosberg pulled well clear of their nearest challengers. Hamilton, who was forced to retire early in last year's Australian Grand Prix, was taking the checkered flag in Melbourne for the first time since 2008, when he claimed his first world title for McLaren. It had all gone completely to plan until coming face to face on the victory podium with movie legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was conducting the post-race interviews. \"Hey man, WOW,\" said a surprised Hamilton. \"It is an incredibly feeling to continue winning but also great to be up here with you.\" Then taking his courage in his hands, Hamilton cheekily told 'The Terminator' \"I thought you were taller!\" After getting the thoughts of Rosberg and Vettel, who said it was a \"very big honor\" to gain his first points for Ferrari, Schwarzenegger turned his attention back to Hamilton. The pair signed off by saying together: \"I'll be back,\" the catchphrase from Schwarzenegger's iconic 1984 film. With Hamilton winning his seventh race from eight starts, his F1 rivals would probably rather he stayed away and Rosberg admitted \"he was driving to his max\" but could not match the pace of his teammate. Only 11 cars finished the race from a depleted grid of 15 cars, with Valtteri Bottas unable to start for Williams due to a back injury. Pastor Maldonado crashed out on the first lap as the safety car was deployed, while his teammate Romain Grosjean retired early in the 58-lap race to complete a miserable afternoon for Lotus. Britain's Jenson Button in an uncompetitive McLaren was the only driver to finish without a point in 11th place. His regular teammate Fernando Alonso sat out the race after his nasty crash in pre-season testing in Barcelona, while stand-in Kevin Magnussen retired after the warm-up lap. Kimi Raikkonen looked set to underline Ferrari's improvement when running in fifth place, but had to retire the car, with TV replays indicating his left rear tire was not fitted properly after a pit stop. It left the way clear for rookie Felipe Nasr of Brazil to claim an unexpected fifth place for Sauber, which went through the 2014 season without claiming a single point, and also took eighth spot with Marcus Ericsson. Home hopes rested with Daniel Ricciardo, third in last year's title race, but he looked off the pace in the Red Bull in sixth place.

+{"article": "(CNN)There can be no March without the madness. When it comes to college basketball, the first month of spring ushers in a frantic slew of games to determine seedings for one of the most fervently watched sporting events in the U.S., known simply as the NCAA Tournament, or more often, March Madness. Like English soccer's FA Cup, much of the 68-team tournament's appeal is its egalitarian system of pitting traditional powerhouse programs like Duke, UCLA and Kentucky against relative minnows like Saint Mary's, Butler and Davidson. And both competitions offer the carrot of being able to impress scouts from top pro teams -- a first-round NBA pick can expect to earn anywhere from $755,000 to $5.75 million. Not bad for a graduate. Last year's tournament reached 102 million viewers, while almost 740,000 fans attended the 36 sessions. \"When you go to college, maybe your number one goal before you graduate is you want to be able to play in the NCAA tournament,\" says Bryce Drew, head coach and former player at Valparaiso University in Indiana (28-5, Horizon League champions). \"It's the biggest stage for college basketball, and it's one of the biggest national events in all of America.\" Drew knows just how big an impact that high-profile stage can have on aspiring professionals from beyond the major college ranks. His last-second shot for Valparaiso to beat the University of Mississippi in the first round of the 1998 tournament is one of the most replayed moments in March Madness history. How it works: . Selection Sunday (March 15) A 10-member panel determines seedings for the 68 teams that make the knockout tournament . First Four (March 17-18) A format started in 2011, 8 teams compete to qualify in the main draw . Second round (March 19-20) 64 teams split into 4 regions: Midwest, West, South and East . #1 plays #16 in each group . Third round (March 21-22) Down to 32 teams . Regional semifinals (March 26-27) Known as the \"Sweet Sixteen\" Regional finals (March 28-29) The \"Elite Eight\" National semifinals (April 4) The \"Final Four\" is played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis; minimum capacity 70,000 . Championship Game (April 6) One of the most-watched events in U.S. sport . \"I had always dreamed of winning the game in the NCAA tournament (and) always dreamed of making the last-second shot. For God to bless (me) with both of things at one time is something that I'll always cherish and remember,\" Drew says. His father, Homer Drew, was Valparaiso's coach at the time, and his brother Scott (now men's basketball coach at Baylor University) was an assistant, completing the Hollywood scenario. \"I don't think any of us realized that they would show that replay the next year, and even the next year, and the next year. We were just so happy in the moment and never thought that we'd be able to talk about it over a decade later,\" he says.

+{"article": "(CNN)ISIS militants kidnapped 20 foreigners working at a Libyan hospital, then released them -- under the condition, if they want to live, that they stay put so they can treat members of the Islamist extremist group, a hospital official said. About 30 gunmen tied to the group calling itself the Islamic State stormed Ibn Sina Hospital in Sirte on Monday while a bus was waiting to take the workers to Tripoli, Libya's capital. The medical workers were later released and sent back to their homes near the medical facility, a hospital official said Tuesday. But they can't go far, with ISIS militants ordering them not to leave Sirte, according to the official. One of those kidnapped, a doctor from Uzbekistan, was told he is safe as long as he didn't leave, and he treated any militants who were wounded, the hospital official said. \"They told him that, for your life, you (stay) and work in the city,\" the official added. Like the doctor, the other medical workers aren't Libyan. Most are from the Philippines, with others from Ukraine, India and Serbia. The kidnappings came days after people of Filipino, Austrian, Czech, Ghanaian and Bangladeshi descent were taken from Libya's Al-Ghani oil field, an operation that Libya's internationally recognized government blamed on \"ISIS militias.\" The abductions are more evidence of the turmoil Libya has experienced since 2011, the start of an uprising against longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Sirte was Gadhafi's hometown, where he was killed, and where his loyalists held out the longest. In the years since, Sirte has become a home to ISIS. The coastal city, halfway between Tripoli and Benghazi, is where terrorists kidnapped 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt in separate incidents in December and January. That mass abduction was followed by mass slaughter -- one that, in ISIS' distinctive, depraved style, was videotaped and disseminated as propaganda, showing jihadists standing behind their orange-clad, handcuffed victims and then beheading them. \"The sea you have hidden Sheikh Osama bin Laden's body in,\" a masked English-speaking jihadi said on the video, \"we swear to Allah, we will mix it with your blood.\" Like the Egyptians, the medical workers kidnapped Monday are foreigners, having come to Sirte to work. They also have skills that could help ISIS. The Ibn Sina Hospital official believes the extremist group went after the workers -- who'd been trying to flee Sirte's precarious security situation -- because they make up the only medical team there and might be needed to treat ISIS militants. The large-scale kidnapping illustrates how ISIS has become a disruptive force in Africa. The group's main foothold is in Iraq and Syria, where it has ruthlessly conquered territory and threatened to take more despite efforts by local governments and a U.S.-led air campaign. ISIS branched out into Libya last year, with CNN reporting in November that fighters loyal to the group had complete control of Derna, a city of about 100,000 near the Egyptian border. Militants who've pledged allegiance to ISIS also have made their mark in points westward, forming chapters in cities including Sirte, Benghazi", "summary": "ISIS tells doctor to stay, treat militants, hospital official says .

I had gone to bed around 4 or 5 a.m. after spending hours on my computer, which was pretty common for me back then, at age 18. A few hours later, my mom woke me up telling me there were a couple of men here to see me and that they said something about it being official or federal business. I had a slight fear this day would come, because only a couple of days earlier, I had a strange call from a friend asking me what I would do if we were visited by the police or some type of investigation team. Two men sitting at my kitchen table pulled out badges and stated they were with the FBI. They said they needed to talk to me. Let me start with a little history: I got my first taste of computers in the mid-1970s in junior high school. We had a teletype terminal that had been brought to our school with an acoustic modem attached. We were shown how it worked and some of us had a chance to do some math testing. I did not get to use it the first time, but I stayed after school that evening to see if I could get a chance to try it out. The teacher dialed into the central office computer, logged in and started the math program. I felt like a new world opened for me. For the first time in my life, I saw something that made me imagine what I wanted to do when I grew up. That junior high school computer math program lead me to computer classes in high school. There, I learned of an Explorer Scout group sponsored by IBM. For the next couple of years I built a friendship with a group of people who had interests similar to mine -- some closer than others. We would play with computers at school, in Explorer Scouts, in stores like Radio Shack and at home. Finally in 1982, I bought my first computer. Some of my friends already had computers and now my time came and I finally got my own. I purchased a Heathkit H-89, which we built in a friend's basement. At the same time I also bought a Hayes 309 baud Smartmodem. I used my computer and modem to log onto electronic bulletin board systems, or BBS, and create more friendships and acquaintances. We were a curious group and we were eager to learn more and more about the different computers made and how they worked. We ended up getting into about a dozen computer systems -- from the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York to a major international bank system in Los Angeles to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, one of only two U.S. laboratories dedicated to nuclear weapons research.

The crowd was massive. It was shoulder to shoulder near the bridge and several blocks away. There were so many people that walking is a bit misleading -- people just really moved inch by inch along the way. The protest decades ago against the denial of civil rights to Americans based solely on the color of their skin, and the television coverage of the bludgeoning dealt them, hastened the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Several people remarked at how much it meant that the day before, on Saturday, America's first African-American President, Barack Obama, made a rousing speech on racial progress in a diverse country. He said that the struggle against discrimination continues today. Looking back, the \"Bloody Sunday\" march was triggered when a law officer shot a black man dead the month before. But it was about more -- the right to vote for all Americans. About 600 people were going to march 50 miles to the state capital in Montgomery before they were forcibly stopped. Sunday's festivities started with a breakfast and end late with a dance. A string of parades, receptions, reflections, films and discussions will fill the time in between. The commemoration marking 50 years since \"Bloody Sunday\" continues on Monday. \"Our march is not yet finished. But we are getting closer,\" Obama said Saturday, his words echoing into a crowd of thousands lined up in front of him.

Carlos Salgado of Taco Maria was born into a family that had a Mexican-American restaurant and now he's elevated that traditional cooking.\" Though many of the chefs are looking to a simpler time in their lives for inspiration, picking the top cooks in the country is no simple task. First, Food & Wine editors reach out to a \"trusted group of nominators\" around the country, which includes writers for the magazine, past honorees and industry insiders, for their picks. They're looking for chefs who have been creating dishes and running a professional kitchen for five years or less. Editors also comb local magazines and newspapers to find out who is generating buzz regionally. Once the group of candidates is whittled down, Food & Wine visits the restaurants to taste the local fare anonymously. This year's selections include a former scientist, chef Katie Button of Curate in Asheville, North Carolina; \"Top Chef\" season 4 contestant Zoi Antonitsas of Westward in Seattle; and blues-lover Bryce Shuman of Betony in New York City. \"Top Chef\" host Tom Colicchio, famed restaurateur Thomas Keller and international megachefs Daniel Boulud and Nobu Matsuhisa are past honorees.

She didn't know at that moment that she had lost her child, but her ability to communicate the events helped save her own life. \"She's an amazing woman to have that will and that drive to survive and do what she did and be able to contact the police and tell us where she was at, where inside of that location she was at, and speak to me as I entered the residence, direct me to her location,\" Sawyer said. \"I mean, she is the only reason why she's alive right now.\" The grisly cutting of the fetus from Wilkins began when she responded to a Craigslist ad about baby clothes for sale. The 26-year-old Wilkins, who was seven months' pregnant, arrived at the seller's home Wednesday in Longmont. Stabbed in the stomach and bleeding, Wilkins called 911. Another officer, Phil Piotrowski, told CNN affiliate KDVR. that the scene was almost too much to bear. He had to take a moment to collect himself. \"When I walked in and looked at her for a short moment, I actually had to walk out for a second because my head wasn't able to wrap around it.\" Still, given what Wilkins had endured, it left him impressed. \"She is probably one of the strongest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet,\" Piotrowski said. Michelle Wilkins' uncle Chris Wilkins said, \"She's alive because professional first responders execute perfectly.\" But Piotrowski believes Wilkins is the one who \"saved her own life.\" The fetus died, but the mother survived and \"is improving minute by minute, hour by hour,\" according to Chris Wilkins. She's reported to be in critical but stable condition. Dynel Lane, 34, a former nurse aide, is being held on $2 million bail while prosecutors weigh charges against her, including murder. Lane is accused of stabbing Wilkins and removing a female fetus. The murder charge would reportedly depend on whether the fetus was old enough to have lived outside of her mother's body. In a statement obtained by KDVR, Michelle Wilkins' family says, \"We cannot begin to fathom the depths of depravity and evil which drove her attacker, and trust that between law enforcement and our legal system; they will make sure justice is carried out.\" CNN's John Fricke contributed to this report.", "summary": "Officers responding to 911 call found Michelle Wilkins covered in blood .

+{"article": "Fall River, Massachusetts (CNN)Is there hidden meaning in recorded jailhouse calls with former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez after his arrest? Defense attorneys and prosecutors are in a pitched battle over whether a jury should be able to hear them during his ongoing murder trial in its eighth full week of testimony. Snippets of the conversations are contained in motions filed by both sides. The transcribed excerpts include Hernandez talking with his fianc\u00e9e, Shayanna Jenkins, and also with his cousin Tanya Singleton. There's also a debate about calls between Singleton and co-defendant Ernest Wallace. Prosecutors contend calls involving Wallace, Singleton, and Jenkins, in particular, are proof of an ongoing conspiracy to conceal evidence after the June 17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd. The defense argues the calls are irrelevant, prejudicial and contain hearsay. Aaron Hernandez trial: The latest developments . Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to orchestrating Lloyd's killing with the help of Wallace and Carlos Ortiz. Wallace and Ortiz have pleaded not guilty and are being tried separately. Singleton and Jenkins both face charges of their own stemming from Lloyd's killing. Singleton has pleaded not guilty to being an accessory after the fact, accused of helping Wallace escape to Florida. Singleton, suffering from terminal cancer, is expected to be called as a state's witness. She previously served time for contempt of court for refusing to testify before a grand jury. In calls between Singleton and Wallace -- after he was arrested but before she was jailed on the contempt charge -- prosecutors contend she is passing on information from Wallace to Hernandez. At trial, authorities suggest Hernandez was reaching out to Wallace the night Lloyd's bullet-riddled body was discovered. Jurors have been shown surveillance video and phone records authorities say show Hernandez borrowing his attorney's cell phone to call Wallace that night from the North Attleboro police station parking lot after Hernandez took apart his own phone. During previous cross-examination, the defense has argued there is no proof of what that call was about and there was nothing unusual about taking a battery out of a cell phone, then putting it back together. Hernandez's fianc\u00e9e, Jenkins, has pleaded not guilty to lying before a grand jury. Prosecutors suspect her of getting rid of the murder weapon after receiving a coded text message from Hernandez a day after Lloyd's killing. The jury has seen a home surveillance video of her removing a trash bag from the house and driving away with it in a car. The handgun, believed to be .45-caliber Glock, has never been found. Court documents state all jailhouse calls are recorded, and detainees are notified by signs and recorded messages that their phone conversations are being monitored. Below are excerpts of some of the calls the defense wants to quash and prosecutors want the jury to hear: . July 12, 2013 -- Call between Tanya Singleton and Ernest Wallace .

But the loud explosions injured a vital part of the world's largest democracy: free speech. Last week, when India's government and a British documentarian faced off over a film featuring a man imprisoned for a 2012 gang rape in South Delhi, a little-known channel hundreds of miles away in southern India was waging its own battle. Hardline Hindu groups were angry with broadcaster Puthiya Thalaimurai for filming a show about the relevance of a traditional necklace -- called mangalsutra in Hindi and thaali in Tamil -- worn by married Indian women. For them, the contents, as shown in the promos, were offensive to Hindu culture. The station planned to release the program Sunday, International Women's Day. But it canceled the telecast after demonstrations took place outside its office. Protesters allegedly attacked one of its cameramen. Four days later, the channel came under fire again, when four men on two motorbikes threw bombs into its compound in a predawn attack, authorities say. Six people involved in the bombing have been arrested, said S. George, the commissioner of the southern Indian city of Chennai. Their leader turned himself in separately, claiming responsibility for the attack, police said. \"The show wanted to give women a platform. We welcome all opinions and thoughts. But you cannot strangle freedom of free expression by violent means and threats,\" said Shyam Kumar, the CEO of New Generation Media Corp., which runs Puthiya Thalaimurai. \"We condemn the attack in the strongest possible terms,\" he told CNN. 'India's Daughter,' the film banned by India: What did it show? But India is no stranger to censorship imposed legally or forced by rowdy protesters. The country's constitution guarantees freedom of expression, but not without restrictions. Communities or people claiming their religious sentiments were hurt by anyone else's opinion can file a lawsuit. Authorities can seek restraining orders from local courts -- as they did to ban the recent BBC documentary \"India's Daughter\" -- by citing potential disorder. Earlier last year, Penguin India withdrew \"The Hindus: An Alternative History,\" a book by American academic Wendy Doniger, after a local advocacy group accused the writer of denigrating Hinduism. In December, a Bollywood movie, \"PK,\" came under attack over similar accusations when mobs tore apart its posters in parts of India. A satire on religious rituals, \"PK\" became a roaring success by being one of the country's highest-grossing movies. But India, home to one of the world's largest film industries, has blocked several movies from screening. At least two films were not allowed last year. One of them featured the lives of the Sikh assassins of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, and the other centered on the violence in Sri Lanka in the closing months of its civil war. Hounded by protests over his novel, Perumal Murugan, a Tamil author, announced quitting writing in a dramatic post on Facebook in January. \"Perumal Murugan, the writer is dead.

One of them, a 6-year-old boy, died later. A 5-month-old boy is seriously injured. Their mother, identified by police as Jessica Lacey McCarty, didn't comply to officers' request that she drop her knife. So officers fired several \"less lethal\" bean bag rounds at her, after which she was taken into custody, according to police. And on Saturday, Palm Bay police announced on the department's Facebook page that McCarty was being charged with two counts of murder in connection with her children's deaths. The 33-year-old woman is also facing an attempted murder charge regarding her infant son, who was in critical condition at a nearby hospital. After initially being taken to a hospital after suffering what police called \"non-life threatening injuries,\" McCarty was moved to the Brevard County Detention Center, where she's being held without bond. She will face a judge within 24 hours to address the charges, according to the Palm Bay post from around midday Saturday. \"A crime like this is beyond words,\" police Capt.

Not surprisingly, fashion designers providing free couture dresses don't exactly feel the same way. \"Because it has now become a thing where people spend months and make five dresses for them,\" Tom Ford has said. \"If you wear one of those dresses and a company has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars or has paid you, then yeah, you say who it is.\" In other words, ladies who look like a million bucks (and have been paid that much or more from deals with brands like Dior or Chanel) can't expect not to be asked about what they're wearing.

The sweeping offensive is taking place along the Niger-Nigeria border, sources said, effectively opening a new front in the fight against the Islamist terror group. This comes a day after Boko Haram pledged allegiance to ISIS in an audio message purported to be from leader Abubakar Shekau. Latest developments in the fight against ISIS . \"Early this morning, troops from Niger and Chad launched ground and air raids against Boko Haram into Nigeria, and the operation is still continuing,\" said a military official in the border town of Diffa, Niger. \"It is an intensive operation that is aimed at pulverizing Boko Haram and crippling their capability,\" according to the source.

+{"article": "(CNN)While Boston and other New England cities have suffered through their snowiest seasons, other parts of the country have some unexpected good news to go along with the record-breaking winter conditions. All that cold air and a stuck weather pattern are keeping tornadoes to historic lows so far this year. March is typically a transitional month, where warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with cold Arctic air to produce severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. This year, however, the jet stream pattern responsible for all the cold air and snow in the East remains stuck in more of a winter mode. \"We're in a persistent pattern that suppresses severe weather, and the right ingredients -- moisture, instability and lift -- (have yet to come together),\" said Greg Carbin, the Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. The group is responsible for issuing the tornado and severe thunderstorm watches that warn the public of impending severe weather. So far this year it's been extremely quiet. By this time in mid-March the center would have issued 52 tornado watches nationwide. This year they have issued a paltry four. Both January and February were well below normal. March has been even quieter. At a time where the tornado season usually ramps up considerably, there has not been a single report this month of a tornado. \"We are in uncharted territory with respect to the lack of severe weather\" Carbin said. In fact if we make it through the entire month of March without any tornado reports it would be a first, according to the center. There have been around 20 tornadoes reported since January 1, well below the 10-year average of 130 for the period from the beginning of the year until mid-March. This year comes on the heels of what was has been a welcome lull of tornadoes across the United States the past several years. In 2014, we ended the year with a count of 881, well below the average of 1,253. Meteorologists don't fully understand why we have seen the recent drop in tornadoes, but one possible answer is the development of El Nino, a warming in the equatorial Pacific, which can influence weather patterns globally. Recent studies point to lower tornado counts in the United States during these events. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently said that a weak El Nino had developed. So while all agree this is good news so far this year, it is clear that it is no guarantee that the rest of the season will remain this quiet. Weather patterns can change quickly. In 1984, for instance, there was a very similar slow start through mid-March and the number of tornadoes ended up well above average by the end of June, according to data from the storm center. It's also important to note that even in years where the tornado counts are low, you can still have very violent tornadoes -- 2013 being a perfect example.

+{"article": "(CNN)In the final days of the Israeli election campaign, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disavowed the two-state solution and said there would be no Palestinian state on his watch. He also earned universal condemnation for his panicked warning to his followers on election day that Arabs were \"voting in droves\" -- a comment that will resound to his shame and can neither be forgiven nor forgotten unless he apologizes clearly, sincerely and without reservation. And now, facing international uproar and a stern U.S. response, Israeli officials have started backing away from these statements. The Israeli ambassador to Canada, Rafael Barak, said Wednesday on CBC TV, \"This is an election campaign and you have to take with a grain of salt what was said at the last minute when the polls say you are going to lose.\" Netanyahu himself, in an interview on NBC, tried to qualify his words about a two-state solution, saying what he meant to say was that a Palestinian state was not viable under present conditions. He knows that stance is totally unacceptable to Israel's chief ally, the United States, and to the rest of the international community. And he should not be allowed to slip off the hook so easily. Indeed, far from taking this statement with a grain of salt, the world is likely to look back at his previously stated support for a two-state solution and take that with more than a grain of salt. The fact is, rhetorical if not actual support for a two-state solution has served Netanyahu well for the past several years, and has provided him with a convenient shield against international pressure to end the almost 48-year occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Also helping Netanyahu was the presence in his Cabinet of Israeli politicians who actually do believe in a two-state solution and worked hard to make it happen -- notably former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who headed up the failed 2014 negotiations with the Palestinians. Livni wanted to move forward in the talks, but found herself hemmed in and frustrated by Netanyahu's aides -- and apparently by the prime minister himself -- at every turn. Now, as he constructs a coalition of ultranationalists and ultra-Orthodox, those shields have been stripped away. Netanyahu must now face the world having bared his true face and exposed his true beliefs -- and the international community, led by the United States, must respond accordingly. What should this involve? To begin with, Washington should not wait for others to draft a U.N. resolution condemning the settlements. It should take the initiative, in consultation with its international partners, in drafting a resolution that lays out the detailed parameters for an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The resolution should of course state unequivocally that the solution rests in an Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 lines, with equivalent land swaps to incorporate some of the major settlement blocs within Israel. It should also reiterate Israel's right to security. And it should state clearly and unambiguously that the settlements are illegal under international law and must stop.

+{"article": "(CNN)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu coasted to victory in Tuesday's elections, defying pre-election polls showing his Likud party trailing his main rival, the center-left Zionist Union. Ever the master politician and brilliant tactician, he used the politics of fear to galvanize his right-wing base, which ultimately secured him a fourth term. Israel, however, may not fare as well as its leader did at the polls. In a matter of days, Netanyahu exposed his true attitude toward Israel's conflict with the Palestinians, in the process threatening to further erode an already strained relationship with the White House. Less than two weeks ago, Netanyahu declared that his speech of June 2009 at Bar-Ilan University, where he publicly endorsed a demilitarized Palestinian state, is no longer relevant. On Monday, he continued on this theme, announcing that a Palestinian state would not be established under his watch. These comments were tactical moves aimed at mobilizing his base, but so was his Bar-Ilan speech a maneuver aimed at appeasing U.S. President Barack Obama and quelling criticism from abroad. Ultimately, political expedience led Netanyahu to reveal what many critics had long suspected: He has never supported a two-state solution. In the last six years of his premiership, Netanyahu has spoken out repeatedly against a withdrawal to the 1967 borders, with mutually agreed land swaps -- the basis for a two-state solution; insisted that Palestinians recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people -- a condition no Palestinian leader can accept; and presided over unprecedented settlement activity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians regard as their future capital. Meanwhile, the Israeli Prime Minister has disparaged Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at every opportunity, asserting that he encourages terrorism -- a claim that was contradicted by the head of Israel's top security service -- and repeating the mantra that Abbas is not a legitimate peace partner. In 2011, he reportedly quashed the Palestinian leader's draft peace agreement that had been secretly negotiated with former Israeli President Shimon Peres. In a less guarded moment, Netanyahu told Israeli writer Etgar Keret that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was \"insoluble.\" Netanyahu's duplicity on the Palestinian issue has led to a highly dysfunctional relationship with the Obama administration, which has tried, in vain, to broker an Israeli-Palestinian agreement. He made a farce of last year's John Kerry-brokered peace talks by increasing settlement work fourfold during this negotiating period. Adding fuel to the fire, Netanyahu has repeatedly injected himself into U.S. politics, most recently with his acceptance of an invitation by House Speaker John Boehner to address Congress -- a move that was widely seen as a partisan ploy to undercut the White House. Obama has yet to respond to Netanyahu's most recent statements, which can only serve to further damage Washington's ties with Jerusalem while contributing to Israel's growing isolation.

The deal would require prosecutors to recommend probation for Hilton, who also allegedly called passengers \"peasants\" on a London-to-Los Angeles flight last summer. Hilton, 20, is scheduled to appear Thursday in federal court, but he is not expected to plead guilty at that time, said spokesman Thom Mrozek of the U.S. Attorney's Office. Hilton, who is free on $100,000 bond, was initially charged with a felony that could have carried a prison sentence up to 20 years upon a conviction. The misdemeanor charge carries up to a six-month prison sentence and a fine of at least $5,000, but federal prosecutors have agreed that they would \"recommend that defendant be sentenced to a term of probation,\" court records said. The class B misdemeanor accuses Hilton of assaulting two flight attendants aboard a British Airways flight on July 31, 2014, \"by intentionally using a display of force that reasonably caused (the attendants) to fear immediate bodily harm,\" according to court documents filed last week.

In the final round of polling before the elections, Herzog's Zionist Union party is in the lead, holding a four-seat edge over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. \"I believe in a certain type of leadership that is not always customary in this region. I'm not a general. I don't give orders. I know how to work together,\" he says. Throughout the campaign, Herzog has been seen as an underdog, lacking the charisma and the English fluency of Netanyahu. Herzog says that doesn't bother him at all. \"I have always suffered from a certain underestimation,\" Herzog said, \"and I have always surprised.\" He promised, \"I will surprise again, and I will show my leadership and stamina.\" Herzog began his political career in 2003, when he first won a seat in the Knesset with the Labor Party. He held a variety of ministerial positions, including minister of housing and construction, minister of tourism, and minister of welfare and social services, before becoming leader of the Labor Party in 2013. In those elections, he also became the leader of the opposition, as Benjamin Netanyahu won another term as prime minister. But when Netanyahu called for early elections in 2014, Herzog pegged his bid for the premiership on social reform. \"What I run for is social justice. I will change the nature of the division of wealth in a fair and more balanced way, close inequality and give a sense of purpose to the people here in the workplace, in the housing, and in the cost of living,\" promised Herzog. Before the election, the issue of a nuclear Iran garnered international headlines as it further aggravated tense relations between the White House and Netanyahu. Herzog, in a speech almost immediately after Netanyahu's address to Congress, promised to work with the United States and European powers, not against, to ensure the safety of Israel. He echoed that sentiment in an interview with CNN's Elise Labott. \"A nuclear-armed Iran is dangerous to world peace, is dangerous to our region, is dangerous to Israel. As leader of Israel, I will never accept a nuclear-armed Iran. Never.

Although I cannot promise 100% results, I promise 100% effort.\" Herzog comes from Israeli political royalty. His grandfather, Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, was the first chief rabbi of the state of Israel. His father, Chaim Herzog, was an Army general, an ambassador to the United Nations and the president of Israel.

+{"article": "(CNN)Iraqi forces battling to wrest Tikrit from ISIS are now in control of the city, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said Tuesday on Iraqiya TV. Al-Abadi, who is also the top military commander, said on state television that the city was liberated. While al-Abadi has declared victory in the battle, pockets of fighting continues. Iraqi forces and Shiite militias are taking part in clearing operations. Iraqi forces reached the center of Tikrit and hoisted the nation's flag on top of the Governorate Building, al-Abadi said. Fighting continued on the outskirts of the city, he added. Tikrit had been under ISIS control since June. The push into Tikrit comes days after a series of U.S.-led airstrikes targeted ISIS targets around the city. The airstrikes made it possible for the Iraqi forces to move through the city. Troops reported finding dozens of roadside bombs and booby-trapped buildings as they combed the city. At a Cabinet meeting before he declared Tikrit liberated, al-Abadi was already calling the operation a success. \"The success of the Tikrit experiment will be repeated in other areas because of the results it has achieved on the battlefield, on a humanitarian level, protecting civilians as much as possible, in addition to the low casualties amongst our security forces,\" he said. Iraqi forces have tried multiple times to win back Tikrit since ISIS conquered the city as part of its campaign to amass an expansive Islamic caliphate but failed until now. This operation, however, was the biggest by the Iraqi military so far. \"We managed to take (ISIS) by surprise,\" the Prime Minister said. \"And our air force ... in addition to coalition air force, helping Iraqi forces, managed to deal severe blows to ISIS and the enemies of Iraq. And our ground forces with the blood of Iraqis, Iraqis alone with their own blood, were able to liberate this land.\" The latest push began after al-Abadi ordered Iraqi forces on March 1 to retake Tikrit and Salahuddin province. Militants have been under pressure ever since in the battleground city, which is the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and is located about 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Baghdad. The Iraqi forces were aided by a coalition made up of mostly Shiite militiamen and volunteers. The militia members, estimated to number around 20,000, are backed by Iran. The offensive marked the first very overt participation of Iranian advisers on the front lines. The victory in Tikrit sets the stage for Iraqi forces to take back an even bigger prize: Mosul. Mosul is Iraq's second-biggest city and the site of one of its military's biggest embarrassments, when Iraqi troops dropped their weapons and ran rather than defend their posts last June. A U.S. official said in February that up to 25,000 Iraqi troops plan to return to Mosul in April or May and, ideally, win it back. This comment came days after al-Abadi told the BBC that while there's still work to do, he felt confident Iraqis could recapture the key northern city.

In a battle between Iraqi forces and ISIS over control of Tikrit recently, the tomb of Saddam Hussein was squashed to rubble, though it's not clear which side did it. Luckily, the ancient city of Babylon is outside the extremists' grasp, south of Baghdad. For nearly 5,000 years it has stood as a symbol of the glory of ancient Mesopotamian civilization. Saddam Hussein renovated the ruins in the 1980s, leaving his own crude personal stamp on the bricks there. They bear his name and describe him as the son of Nebuchadnezzar, who had the reputation of being ancient Babylon's greatest king. One of Hussein's former palaces still peers down over the city. But it continues to be source of great pride for Iraqis who see themselves as the heirs of the world's oldest civilization. And many Iraqis know better than to buy the claims of their deposed despot. \"This wasn't Saddam's,\" said Adnan Abu Fatima. \"It belonged to our grandfathers, the Babylonians.\" Abu Fatima strolled through the ruins with his family. Saddam's vain brick inscriptions may annoy him, but ISIS' destruction appalls him. \"The Mosul museum was destroyed. Why?\" he wants to know from ISIS. \"That is the heritage of your grandfathers. Why did you do that?\" The defacers' reasoning? The artifacts, some of the oldest in ancient civilization, are from the \"age of ignorance,\" ISIS says, before the advent of Islam. Antiquity is an integral part of Iraq's national identity. History is measured there not in centuries but in millennia, and Iraqi's take such vandalism to heart. They've had to watch since the U.S. invasion in 2003 how artifacts have been stolen. Baghdad's museum was plundered, during a lapse in U.S. security, and the priceless artifacts were smuggled around the world. The U.S. State Department has announced it will return more than 60 items on Monday, which had been sneaked into the United States. Safa ad-Din Hassan and other parents took Iraqi scouts on a camping trip near Babylon to teach them about their history and make ancient artwork with them.

+{"article": "Dusseldorf, Germany (CNN)Years before he was at the controls of a Germanwings plane that plunged into the French Alps, Andreas Lubitz told the airline he worked for that he'd had a bout with depression. Lubitz, the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 who authorities accuse of deliberately crashing the plane, told his Lufthansa flight training school in 2009 that he had a \"previous episode of severe depression,\" the airline said Tuesday. Email correspondence between Lubitz and the school discovered in an internal investigation, Lufthansa said, included medical documents he submitted in connection with resuming his flight training. The announcement indicates that Lufthansa, the parent company of Germanwings, knew of Lubitz's battle with depression, allowed him to continue training and ultimately put him in the cockpit. Lufthansa, whose CEO previously said Lubitz was 100% fit to fly, described its statement Tuesday as a \"swift and seamless clarification\" and said it was sharing the information and documents -- including training and medical records -- with public prosecutors. What was mental state of Germanwings co-pilot? It's a development that will likely be a part of the crash investigation, but it's only one piece of the puzzle, CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest said. \"We need to know what happened after he returned in 2009 and finished his training, because that tells us whether there was the correct procedure and process,\" he said. A Lufthansa spokesperson told CNN on Tuesday that Lubitz had a valid medical certificate, had passed all his examinations and \"held all the licenses required.\" Check out the latest from our correspondents . The details about Lubitz's correspondence with the flight school during his training were among several developments as investigators continued to delve into what caused the crash and Lubitz's possible motive for downing the jet. Earlier, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Dusseldorf said Lubitz suffered from suicidal tendencies at some point before his aviation career. Medical records reveal that Lubitz was suicidal at one time and underwent psychotherapy before he got his pilot's license, prosecutor's spokesman Christoph Kumpa said. Kumpa emphasized there's no evidence suggesting Lubitz was suicidal or acting aggressively before the crash. Investigators are looking into whether Lubitz feared his medical condition would cause him to lose his pilot's license, a European government official briefed on the investigation into last week's crash told CNN on Tuesday. While flying was \"a big part of his life,\" the source said, it's only one theory being considered. Another source, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation, also told CNN that authorities believe the primary motive for Lubitz to bring down the plane was that he feared he would not be allowed to fly because of his medical problems. Lubitz's girlfriend told investigators he had seen an eye doctor and a neuropsychologist, both of whom deemed him unfit to work recently and concluded he had psychological issues, the European government official said.

He was killed in a plane crash in 1959 that also took the lives of singers J.P. \"The Big Bopper\" Richardson and Ritchie Valens. By this time, Buddy Holly and I had had a pretty long history together. The concert that I performed at had all the old members of his group. Donna, who Ritchie Valens wrote a song about, was also there. Peggy Sue, who Buddy Holly sang about, was there too. The Picks were there -- they sang background vocals on Buddy's records -- as well as singer Tommy Allsup, who claimed that years later he got his wallet back from the crash site. Unfortunately some fans at this show were selling crash-site photos, which I thought was in extremely bad taste. I think the prospect of the National Transportation Safety Board delving into the crash again, which might mean exhuming bodies and all the rest, would be in similarly bad taste. I think there's a reason we say, \"rest in peace.\" Buddy Holly would have the same stature musically whether he would have lived or died, because of his accomplishments which, in retrospect, nobody -- and I mean nobody, not the Beatles the Rolling Stones or anyone else -- can beat, for these reasons: By the time he was 22 years old he had recorded some 50 tracks, most of which he had written himself and each of them, in my view and the view of many others, a hit.

No rock 'n' roll records can touch songs like \"Rave On,\" \"Think it Over,\" \"Not Fade Away,\" \"Peggy Sue\" and many, many more. He was also a sensitive, ballad composer and singer, which people often overlook, with songs like \"Moondreams\" and \"True Love Ways,\" among many. As a paperboy, I cut open the stack of papers on February 3, 1959, and saw that Buddy Holly had been killed in the plane crash. The next day I went to school in shock, and guess what? 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, nor had the others in the plane crash. Americans in those days were always looking ahead. Death was not lingered over. We'd had enough of that in World War II. Death and grief did not go with the exuberance and bright colors of the 1950s. Since then we have embarked on what I would call the \"American death trip.\" One simply has to look at the slew of autopsy shows on television and the endless regurgitation of Marilyn, Elvis and JFK death details to get my point.

+{"article": "(CNN)On Saturday, just hours after four suicide bombers set off a series of blasts in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri that left at least fifty people dead and scores more wounded, the militant organization thought responsible for the attacks, Boko Haram, reportedly announced that it was swearing allegiance to the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). According to a report quoting the SITE extremist monitoring organization, an audio recording purportedly from Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, hailed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as \"caliph\" and declared: \"We announce our allegiance to the Caliph...and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity.\" This latest development is not entirely unexpected given the increasing convergence between the two groups over the course of the last year as well as the severe pressure that the militaries of Nigeria and its neighbors have recently (if somewhat belatedly) brought to bear on it. In fact, the \"shout-outs\" exchanged regularly between Boko Haram and ISIS were not just rhetorical flourishes, but indicative of a veritable courtship as the former appropriated more and more of the latter's symbolism, tactics, and ideology. This isn't the first time that Boko Haram has adapted itself to conform with a larger extremist network that could aid it: previously the group underwent a similar evolution after Shekau took over from its slain founder, Muhammad Yusuf, in 2009 and aligned it with al-Qaeda's affiliate in North Africa, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which gave Boko Haram training as well as facilitated its carrying out of Nigeria's first suicide bombings in 2011. Despite the assistance that Boko Haram received from AQIM and other aligned groups in the years since, the Nigerian militants' ideology and brutal tactics have progressively drawn closer to those of ISIS. Like ISIS, Boko Haram has progressed far beyond asymmetric terrorist attacks to sophisticated military operations resulting in its successfully overrunning and effectively controlling large parts in northeastern Nigeria and displacing millions of people. Just two weeks ago, in his most recent annual Worldwide Threat Assessment, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned the U.S. Congress that \"Boko Haram will probably continue to solidify its control over its self-declared Islamic state in northeastern Nigeria and expand its terror campaign into neighboring Nigerian states, Cameroon, Niger, and Chad.\" The timing of Shekau's pledge of allegiance is not without its strategic logic. Notwithstanding its string of victories through the beginning of this year, Boko Haram has been reeling in recent weeks from a series of military defeats at the hands of the Nigerian armed forces as well as a multinational force from neighboring countries, including Niger, Chad, and Cameroon. The Nigerian government and its regional allies have been pushing back and, in quite a number of instances, retaking towns. Likewise, ISIS has seen its rampage through Syria and Iraq stall and it has increasingly been put on the defensive by operations like the massive Iranian-backed Iraqi offensive to retake Tikrit this past week.

Prosecutors presented photos of three panels of the boat that had messages written in pencil. Boston police Officer Todd Brown, a bomb squad member who cleared the boat of explosives, was on the witness stand to talk about the writings. Tsarnaev is charged with 30 counts related to the April 15, 2013, bombings that killed three people and wounded more than 260 others. A fourth person, an MIT police officer, was ambushed and killed in his patrol car three days after the bombings as Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, allegedly ran from police. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed after a gunbattle with police. On Tuesday, Brown identified Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in court as the man he saw come out of the boat and get taken into custody. In the writings on the panels, some of Tsarnaev's words were struck out by bullet holes. \"I'm jealous of my brother who ha (bullet hole) ceived the reward of jannutul Firdaus (inshallah) before me,\" one of the writings said, referring to the word for paradise. \"I do not mourn because his soul is very much alive. God has a plan for each person. Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions.\" Tsarnaev's connections: Who's who . Tsarnaev's defense has argued that he indeed participated in the bombings, but that he was influenced by his radicalized brother. In his writings on the boat, Tsarnaev asked Allah to allow him to reach the highest levels of heaven. \"The US Government is killing our innocent civilians but most of you already know that. As a (bullet hole) I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished. We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all. Well at least that's how muhhammad (bullet hole) wanted it to be (for)ever,\" Tsarnaev wrote in the boat. Also Tuesday, prosecutors called on FBI agent Steve Kimball to discuss two Twitter accounts linked to Tsarnaev. One, @J_tsar, contained 1,100 tweets and was the more mainstream of the two. \"I shall die young,\" @J_tsar tweeted on April 12, 2012. And four days later, on the day of the 2012 Boston Marathon, a tweet from the account read, \"They will spend their money & they will regret it & they will be defeated.\" Timeline of the bombings, manhunt and aftermath . Prosecutors argued that these tweets indicate an attack on the Boston Marathon was on his mind a year before the bombings. Tsarnaev attorney Miriam Conrad, who opted not to cross-examine the bombing survivors who testified during the first week of the trial, got Kimball to acknowledge that some of his information about the tweets came from other agents and that he didn't check them out for himself. Conrad also established that some of the tweets appeared to be rap lyrics.

+{"article": "(CNN)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the Congress this week was as eagerly anticipated in Tehran as it was in Washington. The Iranian reaction to the speech has been a combination of indignation and indifference. While some of Netanyahu's remarks are already being exploited by competing factions within the Iranian state, the likeliest impact of the speech is tied to Netanyahu's baseless charge that Iran's vendetta against the Jewish people is an ancient mission. The earliest official reactions were predictably the most vigorous in denouncing Netanyahu's message to the American people. Ali Larijani, the powerful speaker of the Iranian parliament, painted Netanyahu as the leader of a \"tin pot regime\" that is not as concerned about Iran's nuclear program as it is of Tehran's growing regional influence. The hardline Kayhan newspaper, the key official outlet linked to the office of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called the speech \"trash talking\" but it also made sure to use it an ammunition against its rivals in the moderate faction. The paper, skeptical of President Hassan Rouhani's nuclear negotiations with the Americans from the beginning, said Netanyahu's comments present an awkward truth for the pro-negotiation faction in Tehran: the Israeli leader and his American supporters are openly signaling the dispute with Iran can only be resolved once there is a change of regime there. Iranian media coverage of Netanyahu's speech mentioned the controversy in the U.S. around its timing but the hardline outlets warned against reading too much into it. As one hardline newspaper, Khorasan, put it, \"although it is undeniable that Obama and Netanyahu disagree on Iran, the [recent] remarks of the two [leaders] shows that they both seek the same goal.\" The idea that the U.S. and Israel share the same strategic goal to rein in Iran but are in disagreement about how to achieve it is the cornerstone of the hardliners' stance in Tehran. The moderate outlets, supportive of President Rouhani, have put a different spin on Netanyahu's speech. Unlike the hardliners, they are not painting the Obama-Netanyahu fallout as some orchestrated good cop-bad cop ploy to maximize concessions from Tehran. Instead, they emphasize that there is a genuine difference in opinion between the U.S. and Israel. The moderate faction sees the controversy around Netanyahu's speech to the Congress and his failure to squeeze the Obama White House to toughen its negotiation terms with Tehran as an indication that Netanyahu is the one who is isolated. The hardliners and the moderates were in full agreement on one point, and that was the delight they shared about the absence of some 60 out of 232 Democratic members of the Congress from Netanyahu's speech. It is too early to gain a good insight into the reaction of ordinary Iranians to Netanyahu's speech. But one aspect of his speech is bound to create backlash among ordinary Iranians outside the corridors of the state: his invocation of festival of Purim, which commemorates the salvation of Jewish people in ancient Persia.

Beslan Shavanov, 30, was holed up in a building in Grozny when police arrived to arrest him Saturday afternoon, Russia 24 reported. Police surrounded the building and Shavano tried to escape, throwing a grenade at police officers before blowing himself up, the station said. The news came as Russian authorities reported making five other arrests in connection with Boris Nemtsov's killing. One of those arrested claims to have an alibi, according to Russia's Sputnik News. \"At the time of the murder, I was at work as I usually am every day. There are many people, my colleagues, who will confirm this,\" the news agency quoted Tamerlan Eskerkhanov as saying in Moscow's Basmanny District Court. Two of the suspects have been formally charged and three \"remain under the status of suspects,\" court spokeswoman Anna Fadeyeva told Sputnik. Nemtsov, one of President Vladimir Putin's most outspoken critics, was shot in the back on a Moscow bridge as he walked with his girlfriend near the Kremlin in late February. Surveillance video showed someone darting from the sidewalk and into a nearby car right after Nemtsov collapsed. Putin has been informed of the arrests in connection with Nemtsov's death, Russian media said, citing Federal Security Service director Alexander Bortnikov. Two of the other suspects are Anzor Gubashev and Zaur Dadayev, Bortnikov said in a televised statement. The others are Ramzan Bakhayev and Shagit Gubashev, Anzor's younger brother, according to a Sputnik report that also said Dadayev was the only one of the five to plead guilty -- though to what crimes was not clear. Bortnikov said those detained are from the southern region of the North Caucasus, which for years has been a hotbed of unrest and rebellion against Moscow. Dadayev had previously served as an officer in a Chechen police battalion, Albert Barakhayev, secretary of the Security Council of the Caucasian republic of Ingushetia, told the official news agency TASS. Dadayev was the deputy commander of one of the Chechen Republic's Ministry of Internal Affairs groups, Sputnik reported, adding that Gubashev worked at a security firm in Moscow. Gubashev was arrested between the town of Malgobek and the village of Voznesenovskaya, while Dadayev was arrested in the city of Magas, Barakhayev told TASS. The slain opposition leader's daughter, Zhanna Nemtsova, told CNN she is \"not surprised both of them (are) of Caucasus origin. It was predictable.\" Nemtsova said the only things she knew about the arrests came from media reports, as authorities did not contact her immediately. Later Saturday, a southern Russian law enforcement official told state news agency RIA Novosti that two more men were arrested. The two suspects in the second arrest were not named, but one of them was driving with Dadayev, and the other man is Gubashev's younger brother, Barakhayev said.

Pilot Roger Peterson also died in the crash. The voice of the hit songs \"Peggy Sue\" and \"That'll Be the Day\" was silenced forever. A few months later, the Civil Aeronautics Board blamed the accident primarily on the pilot's lack of qualification and certification to fly solely by instruments and secondarily on an inadequate weather briefing.

Coon, a self-described retired pilot and aircraft dispatcher, asking it to look at other possible contributing factors to the crash. They include the aircraft's weight and balance calculations (for passengers, baggage and fuel), possible issues with rudder panels and possible carburetor Induction icing, Coon told CNN in an email. \"You have gotten our attention,\" the NTSB wrote in February, saying it would examine the information he provided, Coon's email said. The NTSB never fully closes a case, but any petition to re-examine a crash needs to show that there is new information suggesting the original probable cause is incorrect, NTSB spokesman Eric Weiss said. The agency has two months to review the petition and decide whether there's new information that would make it revisit the case. In 1959, Holly, Valens and Richardson were part of the Winter Dance Party, a tour that had started in Milwaukee and traveled to small cities in Minnesota and Iowa. The musicians had traveled in subfreezing temperatures in unheated buses, and people were getting sick. Holly booked the four-seat aircraft to fly to Fargo, North Dakota, where he planned to finally do laundry and rest in advance of the group's next concert in nearby Moorhead, Minnesota.

In the report, they say they are \"very concerned that the CDC is on the way to losing credibility.\" The agency created the advisory group to improve lab safety in July in the wake of two mishaps and other issues that were uncovered through procedural reviews. One incident occurred in June when dozens of employees in a bioterrorism lab working with the deadly anthrax virus, were at risk because of a failure to properly follow sterilization techniques. The head of that lab resigned after the incident. This followed a May incident in which avian influenza samples, thought to not be dangerous, were unintentionally mixed with the deadly H5N1 influenza virus and then shipped to a USDA lab. Then in December, with the advisory group already working to reduce lab safety risks and improve the culture of safety, employees in the Ebola lab were potentially exposed to that virus when a technician mistakenly transported the wrong specimens from a high-level lab to a lower-level lab. Internal investigations were done after each incident, and various changes were recommended such as cameras being added to some labs and certificates being required to transfer samples from some labs, following the Ebola incident. The four-page report summarizes the groups findings and offers recommendations following visits to CDC labs, meetings with CDC staff and a survey about the laboratory safety culture at CDC. The report recommends all CDC labs go through an external review and accreditation process. They suggest the College of American Pathologists for clinical labs and the American Biological Safety Association for research labs.

The investigation started on Friday, after police learned the two 17-year-olds were missing and were believed to be traveling to Syria. They were traveling with a 19-year-old, police said. British authorities shared intelligence regarding the 17-year-olds with Turkish officials on Friday, and that night, the individuals landed in Istanbul on a flight from Barcelona, Spain, a Turkish official told CNN.

The three educators collected as much as $6 million in annual tuition from an enrollment of about 1,500 foreign students who were largely from South Korea and China, said federal prosecutors. The arrests came after a federal grand jury indicted the three defendants Tuesday on charges of conspiracy to commit immigration fraud, money laundering and other immigration offenses. An allegation in the indictment would also require the defendants to forfeit property and proceeds derived from the fraudulent scheme, authorities said. Hee Sun Shim, 51, of Beverly Hills, is the owner and manager and of the postsecondary schools and is charged with 13 counts of use or possession of an immigration document procured by fraud, authorities said. The two other defendants are each charged with one count of that same offense: They are Hyung Chan Moon, also known as Steve Moon, 39, of Los Angeles who assisted in the operation and management of the schools; and Eun Young Choi, also known as Jamie Choi, 32, of Los Angeles, a former employee who also assisted in the operation and management of the school. Shim, who also went by Leonard Shim and Leo Shim, is also charged with three counts of encouraging illegal residence, as well as two counts of money laundering, prosecutors said. The three defendants and their attorneys couldn't be immediately reached for comment Wednesday. \"Immigration fraud schemes potentially compromise national security and cheat foreign nationals who play by the rules,\" Acting U.S. Attorney Stephanie Yonekura said in a statement. \"In this case, officials at several schools allegedly abused their responsibility to ensure that only legitimate foreign students were allowed to the stay in the country. This type of fraud against the United States will be thoroughly examined to bring those responsible to justice and to protect the integrity of our immigration system,\" the federal prosecutor said. Three of the schools are in Los Angeles' Koreatown neighborhood: Prodee University/Neo-America Language School; Walter Jay M.D. Institute, an Educational Center (WJMD); and the American College of Forensic Studies (ACFS), authorities said. The fourth school is currently operating in Alhambra, California: Likie Fashion and Technology College, authorities said. \"What we've broken up is a pay-to-stay scheme,\" said Claude Arnold, special agent in charge of the Los Angeles office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. \"That's a scheme where institutions purport to be schools, but are really not doing any education whatsoever,\" he said. \"Any scheme where someone gains access to the U.S. through fraud is also a national security vulnerability,\" Arnold said. \"Although we don't have any information that any of these people wish to do harm to the U.S., the point is anyone could take advantage of a vulnerability like this.

Lim, 60, went to North Korea on a humanitarian trip as he had done over a hundred times before, said Lisa Pak, a spokeswoman for his church, based in Mississauga, Ontario.

In 1986, Lim immigrated to Canada from South Korea with his wife and son. He speaks fluent Korean and leads a 3,000-member church. Pak, the church's spokeswoman, said she doesn't believe Lim would have engaged in any type of proselytizing, which is prohibited in North Korea. \"He knows the language, he knows the nature of the government, so we don't see that as a legitimate reason that he would be detained,\" she said. \"We don't believe that's the way he would have behaved.

She was explaining why she had forgiven Bloomsburg University baseball player Joey Casselberry recently. Davis emailed the university to ask for Casselberry to be reinstated. Here's what he had tweeted after hearing that Disney plans to produce a movie based on Davis' life titled: \"Throw Like Mo\": . \"WHAT A JOKE.

Bloomsburg immediately kicked Casselberry off the team but now says it will review the matter. I hope the school sticks to its decision.

Surely, Bloomsburg University believes that sports are meant to teach more than simply how to hit, catch and run. We talk about using sports to build character, leadership and respect for others. Casselberry seems to have missed those lessons, or maybe he just thinks they don't apply to women. His promising college baseball career doesn't have to end over this mistake. Let the school review the situation next season; see then if Casselberry has had time to truly understand his actions.

The incident started shortly after United Flight 1074 took off around 10:15 p.m. Monday from Dulles International Airport in suburban Washington. The Boeing 737 jet was supposed to take its 33 passengers and six crew members to Denver, but turned back because the unnamed passenger \"failed to comply with crew instructions,\" United Airlines spokesman Luke Punzenberger said. Joshua Lindstrom told \"Anderson Cooper 360\u02da\" Tuesday night that a man was acting strangely as he moved up the aisle. \"The flight attendant gave some sort of command to stand back, and he turned and started heading toward the cockpit. And the guy in 3E was a lightning bolt and just jumped out of his seat and took the guy down to the ground.\" The hero's seatmate piled on and grabbed the out-of-control passenger's legs, Lindstrom said. Passenger Donna Tellam told CNN's \"Erin Burnett OutFront\" the men reacted so quickly she thought they were air marshals. She said the unruly man had come down the aisle, screaming about the plane going too slow and flailing his arms. A flight attendant used plastic ties to bind the man's wrists as the plane headed back, she said. Earlier, a government official with direct knowledge of the incident told CNN that the detained passenger had run toward the cockpit screaming \"jihad, jihad.\" Lindstrom told Cooper he didn't hear those words but after the flight was back on the ground the man who tackled the unruly passenger mentioned it. \"He said, 'Did you hear it? Like he said 'jihad' a couple times (while he was being restrained),\" Lindstrom said. \"... In the end it was more surreal than it was scary. It was wild.\" Lindstrom said two other people helped keep the man on the floor for the 20 minutes or so that it took the flight crew to return to Dulles. During that time, the subdued man's mood would change. The man was rattling on about someone trying to bring the plane down, then become despondent and cry, \"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.\" A cell phone video shows the man, bruised on his face, being held down. At one point, he pleads, \"Please stop, please stop, they said call it off.\" At another, the man seems to cry as he says, \"I'm so sorry.\" \"Don't move,\" one passenger says, apparently trying to calm the man. \"You're OK.

Runway 13 remained closed until the plane could be removed and brought into a hangar. It reopened at 10:30 a.m. ET Friday, according to Ron Marsico, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The Delta plane slid off the runway Thursday morning, with its nose busting through a fence before skidding to a halt mere feet from frigid waters. Delta Flight 1086 briefly circled New York due to issues with snow and ice before touching down shortly after 11 a.m. Thursday, passenger Jared Faellaci told CNN. Almost as soon as it did, those aboard realized something was wrong -- the aircraft's wheels seemed to have little to no traction, sliding for about 20 seconds. \"You didn't feel the wheels take,\" Faellaci said. Then it was a matter of \"where we are going to end up,\" he said. About 4,500 to 5,000 feet down Runway 13, the MD-88 veered to the left and mercifully stopped on a small embankment. A little farther, and the plane -- with 127 passengers and five crew members -- would have been in Flushing Bay rather than on the airport's snow-covered ground. Contrary to what Delta said in a statement, the aircraft's slides did not deploy, according to Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye. Still, with help from first responders, everyone was able to get off and onto buses that took them to LaGuardia's Delta terminal. Video showed passengers exiting the plane into the subfreezing temperatures as emergency vehicles converged on the area. Twenty-four people suffered injuries that were non-life threatening. Three of those were transported to nearby hospitals, the New York City Fire Department tweeted. Faellaci said he was thankful for the plane's crew, first responders and God that it wasn't much worse. \"It was cause for a moment of prayer and a moment of reflection, as people were scared,\" he said. \"The pilot did a phenomenal job.\" The plane left a relatively balmy Atlanta shortly after 9 a.m. LaGuardia was dealing with snow and freezing fog as the flight approached its destination about two hours later. Before touching down, the plane's pilot said weather problems could cause a delay. Still, little prepared passengers for what happened. Faellaci said he was reminded of the U.S. Airways plane that landed in the Hudson River in 2009. All 155 people aboard that flight -- heading from LaGuardia to Charlotte, North Carolina -- famously survived thanks to the skills of pilot Chesley \"Sully\" Sullenberger. The landing of Delta Flight 1086 was terrifying for many. \"There were people that were calm, there were people that were praying, there were people that obviously were frantic, there were people that were crying,\" Faellaci said.

The 56,300-ton warship, which was launched in 1956, was decommissioned in 1993 but kept in storage for possible reactivation until March 2004 when it was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register and made available for donation to a group that could preserve it and turn it into a museum. But attempts by groups in Long Beach, California, and Fairview, Oregon, to do so came up short of meeting U.S. government requirements for donation. The Long Beach group called itself Top Gun Super Carrier in reference to the Ranger's role in the 1986 Tom Cruise movie. The carrier was used for interior shots in the film, which also featured appearances by the carriers USS Carl Vinson and USS Enterprise, according to Internet Movie Database. In December, the Navy paid International Shipbreaking of Brownsville, Texas, a penny to take the carrier off its hands. The shipbreaker makes its profit by selling the parts of the ship for scrap.

The video identifies the man as 19-year-old Mohamed Said Ismail Musallam, an Israeli citizen of Palestinian descent. In the video, ISIS shows Musallam's Israeli passport and claims he's an agent sent to infiltrate the group. The 19-year-old's family told CNN Tuesday that he had no ties with the Mossad, Israel's spy agency, and had, in fact, been recruited by ISIS. \"Mohamed told me and his brother that ISIS took him,\" according to Said Musallam, his father. \"They sent him money through the Western Union. They said you will have girls, money, cars, villas, paradise, but afterwords he discovered that there is nothing.\" It wasn't long before Musallam's family members didn't recognize him when they talked to him on Skype. The man they knew as a kind and funny brother and son who was once a volunteer firefighter had grown a long beard and was carrying a rifle. His father tried to help him get home, sending him money and even enlisting the Red Cross. But his son never made it back to Israel. About a month ago, Said Musallam said, he was told his son was taken by ISIS when he was on his way back and trying to cross the border. A video posted Tuesday on ISIS-affiliated social media accounts shows a man who appears to be Musallam on his knees, wearing an orange jumpsuit. An adult ISIS fighter and a child -- both in fatigues -- stand behind him. The adult, speaking French, gives a command to the child to go forward with the killing. The child steps in front of the man and raises what appears to be a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and shoots Musallam in the forehead. The man immediately falls forward to the ground. The child appears to then fire at least two more shots into the body. Ahmad Musallam said he'd seen the video of his brother and was devastated by his death. \"I used to take care of him and babysit him when Mom went to work,\" he said, crying. \"Mohamed is not a brother. He is a son.\" But he refuses to show the video to his parents, who still can't believe their son is dead. An issue last month of ISIS' English-language propaganda magazine, Dabiq, included a purported interview with Musallam and described his alleged work for the Israeli spy agency. In the ISIS video, Musallam seems to be reading what appears to be a prepared confession, saying he is an Israeli intelligence agent working for Mossad, sent to infiltrate ISIS. Musallam's family members said they believe he was coerced in the video, forced to lie about ties to Israeli intelligence. \"Mohamed is not an agent. Mohamed doesn't have a shekel.

The Kremlin has now started pushing harder against the rumors, trying to prove that Russia's foremost -- nay, only -- major political leader, is alive and well. Early on Friday, officials released what they said was a picture of Putin taken the day of. But on social media, onlookers accused officials of dusting off old images. Those keeping track insist Putin has not been seen since March 5. Regardless of how or when this speculation ends, it tells us much about the political realities of Russia. This whole thing started after Putin's trip to Kazakhstan was canceled on Wednesday and a Kazakh official told a reporter that the Russian President had fallen ill. Then the Kremlin released a picture of Putin speaking with the leader of the Republic of Karelia. But it turns out that happened on March 4. On Thursday, Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the President would miss his regular meeting with the Federal Security Service (FSB). When asked about his boss's health, Peskov said he is \"absolutely healthy,\" his handshake so strong he could \"break your hand.\" To illustrate the point, the Kremlin's Russia Today posted a picture of the mighty President slamming a judo opponent hard against the ground. Peskov says Russia is in the grips of a \"spring fever\" that is causing people to dream up harebrained scenarios. Amateur sleuths and creative minds have speculated wildly about Putin's health problems. The Swiss magazine Blick said Putin is in Lugano, where his girlfriend just gave birth to their baby. Some have said he has cancer; others report a heart attack or a stroke. There are even suggestions that he went off to join ISIS, or is playing hide-and-seek a la Where's Waldo.

The Supreme Court ruled that Section 66A of the 2008 Information Technology Act was \"unconstitutional\" and \"hit at the root of liberty and freedom of expression, the two cardinal pillars of democracy.\" Under Section 66A, alleged offenders could face up to three years in jail for posting material that is \"grossly offensive,\" has \"menacing character,\" -- or perhaps even more ambiguously -- causes \"annoyance or inconvenience.\" The court said this wording was \"vague\" and could be \"misconstrued,\" according to Ranjeeta Rohatgi, an advocate who was present at the hearing in Delhi Tuesday. India's cyber laws have ignited a furious debate about curbs on freedom of speech in recent years. In 2012, a university professor was arrested for circulating a cartoon that poked fun at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The cartoon, which was a parody of a scene in a popular Indian movie, went viral on social media. He was charged with a range of offenses including defamation, insulting a woman and sending offensive messages from a computer. Mahapatra called the charges a misuse of the law \"in the name of surveillance, to curb democratic rights, freedom of speech and human rights of common people.\" A year earlier, Delhi went one step further with its digital crackdown when the so-called \"intermediary guidelines\" implicated web platforms themselves. The rules now require Internet companies to take down any content seen as \"disparaging,\" \"blasphemous,\" or \"defamatory\" within 36 hours of a user submitting a formal request for removal.

+{"article": "Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN)Islamic militants with the extremist group Al-Shabaab mounted a bloody attack Thursday on government administration offices in Baidoa, Somalia. Initial reports to police indicate that nine people, including four attackers, were killed after gunmen in military uniforms attacked the house of the former Somali parliament speaker and current president of the newly established southwest regional administration, said Col. Mahad Abdi, a Somali police officer. The attack began when a car bomb detonated at the gate of the state palace in Baidoa city, some 250 kilometers (155 miles) northwest of the capital, Mogadishu. Heavy gunfire broke out between Somali troops backed by Ethiopian forces inside the house of the regional president, Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden. Explosions and gunfire were still going on over an hour after the initial assault, Abdi said. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack. A broadcast by the group's official radio station, Andulus, said that Al-Shabaab gunmen had entered the regional president's house and killed seven Ethiopian soldiers. The African Union's special representative for Somalia, Ambassador Maman S. Sidikou, condemned the attack, saying it had targeted troops who have worked to restore peace to Baidoa. \"I am deeply saddened by news of the attack in Baidoa this morning,\" he said in a statement released by AMISOM, the African Union mission to Somalia. Sidikou said he had also received reports of an attempted attack at a Mogadishu hotel Wednesday night. \"These are desperate attempts by Al-Shabaab to seek relevance, following the massive defeats they continue to suffer from the Somali National Army working together with AMISOM troops,\" he said. Al-Shabaab started with a goal of waging a war against the Somali government in an effort to implement a stricter form of Islamic law, or Sharia. It has since shifted focus to terrorist attacks in Somalia and beyond, even calling, in a video released last month, for attacks on shopping malls in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The couple first visited the U.S. together as newlyweds in 2005, and Camilla was confronted by hardcore Princess Diana fans with abusive placards. Polls at the time found that between 57% and 73% of Brits opposed Charles' new wife being known as queen. If you go back even further, to 1997, the year Diana died, an Ipsos MORI poll put it at 86%.

A new poll conducted by Comres for CNN found that only 35% now oppose Camilla being known as queen. Nearly one in four said they liked her more now than they did 10 years ago. This coincides with a change in palace strategy -- away from the aggressive spin machine of the 1990s to simply allowing Camilla to be herself. When she appears in public, she's either seen supporting her husband or promoting a set of causes she has a genuine connection with. Prince Charles praised how his wife has handled herself. \"She's done an enormous amount for the whole issue around osteoporosis, which of course runs in her family,\" he said, noting that Camilla's mother and grandmother both suffered from the bone disease. He also points to other issues Camilla is associated with, including literacy and preventing sexual violence. The Duchess of Cornwall, by sticking to what she knows and cares about, is able to connect with the people she meets, which doesn't always come across on camera. When Charles and Camilla married in 2005, there was huge sensitivity around the legacy of Diana, who was expected to be queen herself. With this in mind, royal aides announced that Camilla would not use the title of Queen when Charles becomes King. Instead she would be known as Princess Consort.

The procedural step means there are officially no members of Parliament until it reconvenes on May 18 for the swearing-in of members and the official state opening of Parliament on May 27. Addressing media outside the official prime ministerial residence at 10 Downing St., Cameron said that Britain had been \"on the brink\" when he came into office. \"Of course, we haven't fixed everything, but Britain is back on her feet again.\" Cameron said the nation faced \"a stark choice\" in 38 days. \"The next Prime Minister walking through that door will be me or (Labour Party leader) Ed Miliband,\" he said. \"You can choose an economy that grows, that creates jobs, that generates the money to ensure a properly funded and improving NHS (National Health Service) ... and a government that will cut taxes for 30 million hard-working people ... or you can choose the economic chaos of Ed Miliband's Britain,\" Cameron said. \"After five years of effort and sacrifice, Britain is on the right track.

+{"article": "(CNN)A year later, it still sounds impossible: A sophisticated $270 million airliner carrying 239 people disappears, leaving very few clues about where it went. But did the tragedy of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 really have to be such a mystery? Maybe not. Lingering questions -- and the trauma experienced by friends and family of passengers and crew of the Boeing 777-200ER -- all might have been avoided if already proven technology had been put into place. Believe it or not, in our modern world, airplane tracking technology has yet to enter the 21st century. Take GPS for example. Why aren't air traffic controllers using it to constantly track all commercial airliners? How about communicating with satellites? Why don't all airliners stream their so-called black box data to satellites in real time? The technology is available. Yes, it's expensive, but so is searching hundreds of thousands of square miles of vast ocean. Let's break it down. Flight 370 had eight ways to communicate with the ground while in flight: . \u2022 Five very high frequency and high frequency radios that could transmit and receive voice and data transmissions. \u2022 Two transponders that could send identification and altitude data to air traffic control radar screens. \u2022 One satellite transceiver that could transmit and receive text messages and phone calls. Despite this technology, the world lost track of the flight with the airline industry codename MH370. To understand why, you first have to know a little about the technology and the gaps in the system. Throughout most of the world, air traffic controllers still track airplanes with radar -- which uses technology dating back to the 1940s. Radar is reliable, but it is limited. It comes with large gaps in coverage areas. Aircraft flying more than about 200 miles from land over oceans are not tracked by air traffic control radar screens. Radar covers only about 2% or 3% of the planet's surface, experts say. The rest is a virtual aviation no man's land. If an aircraft's transponders are turned off, an aircraft can be seen only through so-called primary radar. In these cases, air traffic controllers see only a blip on radar screens. The blip isn't identified and the plane's altitude is unknown. In a nutshell, here's the electronic communication from Flight 370 after it left Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014: . \u2022 Nearly 30 minutes after takeoff, the plane sends a text via satellite that confirms it's headed to Beijing, as expected. \u2022 Later, the plane sends a final radio call as it transitions between Malaysia air traffic controllers to controllers in Vietnam. But air traffic controllers in Ho Chi Minh City never heard from the crew. \u2022 Three minutes after the radio call, the plane's two transponders mysteriously cease transmitting. \u2022 But primary radar operated by the military in Malaysia and Thailand is able to track the 777 for limited periods without its transponder being on. \u2022 Later, an orbiting satellite checks in with the plane's satellite transceiver, kind of like a cell tower pinging a mobile phone. The aircraft responds", "summary": "Modern tracking technology might have helped solve the mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 .

Viewers were invited to tweet and post their questions on the \"Finding Jesus\" Facebook page during the latest episode, \"The Gospel of Judas.\" Below are some of the most interesting, and my answers to them. They have been edited for style and clarity for this article: . Yalanda M. Price: What do scholars know about the man named Judas? What is his story? Mark Goodacre: Judas is actually a pretty mysterious figure in the New Testament. In fact, the relative lack of information about him in the Gospels has provided the invitation, across the centuries, for people to speculate about who he was and what could have possibly motivated him to hand Jesus over to the authorities. We know very little about his back story from the Gospels. He appears in the list of 12 disciples called by Jesus, but does not become a main character in the drama until the Passion Narratives. In John's Gospel, he is the disciple who is concerned about Mary wasting money anointing Jesus (John 12.4-6). Soon afterward, he is arranging to hand Jesus over to the authorities. His story ends with his dramatic suicide (Matthew 27.3-10), and Luke tells us that his stomach burst open and his intestines gushed out when he died (Acts 1.18-19). Mark Goodacre answers your questions about the Shroud of Turin . Kristine Spillman Adams: My understanding was always that Judas betrayed Jesus not because he was a villain, but he thought Jesus would start an earthly war when arrested. He was trying to get Jesus to establish a literal, physical kingdom on Earth. Goodacre: This is one of the great mysteries of the last week of Jesus' life. What motivated Judas to betray Jesus? John hints that it was financial greed (John 12.6), and Matthew says that he betrayed Jesus for \"thirty pieces of silver\" (Matthew 27.14-15). It is true, though, that many have speculated that Judas may have been some kind of zealot or freedom fighter, and he has often been depicted in this way in film and fiction. With this theory, he was trying to force Jesus' hand. It has sometimes been said that perhaps the word \"Iscariot\" is a corruption of the word \"sicarii,\" which means \"dagger bearer,\" and that would provide some backing to that theory. However, John identifies Judas as \"Son of Simon Iscariot\", which makes the \"sicarii\" theory less likely. In the end, we may have to accept that we simply will never know the answer to the question about Judas' motivation. Candida Moss answers your questions about John the Baptist .

A writer and photographer for the magazine accompanied a team of scientists to Honduras' Mosquitia region on the trail of a legendary \"White City\" or \"City of the Monkey God.\" The expedition was launched after aerial light detection scanning -- known as LIDAR -- uncovered what appeared to be man-made structures below the rainforest, National Geographic said. Seeking to confirm the discovery, a team of U.S. and Honduran archaeologists, a LIDAR engineer, an ethnobotanist, anthropologists and documentary filmmakers entered the remote region.

Archaeologists no longer believed in the existence of a single \"White City,\" he said, instead believing there had been an entire civilization with many cities. The expedition found earth works, including an earthen pyramid as well as a collection of stone sculptures, thought to potentially have been burial offerings.

Still, even as it fends off this assault, the militant group continues with its barbaric tactics. \"Yesterday, bodies floated down the (Tigris) River from the hospital,\" said Saber Kraidi, an eight-year Iraqi military veteran. \"They were people from Tikrit executed by ISIS.\" The Iraqi military is joined by some Sunni fighters and a predominantly Shiite militia, working together to retake the city best known to most Westerners as the hometown of former dictator Saddam Hussein. They are working on not just winning the battle, but securing the peace. Members of the Badr organization, a powerful Shiite armed group, handed out food and supplies Friday to residents of the Sunni village of Albu Safah, whose 30 families have been holed up the last 10 months amid the fighting. The village's leader, Haji Jamid, said the Shiite fighters' efforts were working. \"They're good,\" Jamid said. \"If someone is sick, they'll take them to the doctor, even at 2 or 3 in the morning. \"If it weren't for them, ISIS would have slaughtered us.\" In June, Tikrit fell to ISIS, which has conquered large areas of Iraq and Syria and claimed them as part of its Islamic caliphate. There have several attempts to take it back since then, all of them failures. The latest push began this month, involving around 30,000 fighters. By Thursday, the government controlled about 75% of the besieged city, with about 150 holdout ISIS fighters controlling the rest, said Main Al-Kadhimi, commander of the Hashd Al-Shaabi militia. There was no independent confirmation of such a significant advance by the Iraqi forces. But they have been making progress in recent days. That includes gaining control of Tikrit Military Hospital, a few blocks south of the presidential palace, on Wednesday. The goal is that, if Iraqi and allied forces can take Tikrit, then they'll have more realistic hope of similarly winning back Mosul -- a city that's nearly 10 times bigger. Yet, even if ISIS is losing ground in Tikrit, that doesn't mean it's not a dangerous, destructive force elsewhere. Case in point is happening about 100 miles south of Tikrit in Ramadi, which the extremist group began assaulting on Wednesday. Faleh al-Issawi, deputy head of the Anbar provincial council, has said officials believe the Ramadi assault \"is an ISIS response to the Tikrit operation.\" More than 40 Iraqi soldiers died when ISIS blew up the Iraqi army headquarters near Ramadi in Iraq's western Anbar province, an Anbar provincial leader told CNN on Friday. ISIS fighters there dug a tunnel underneath the army headquarters and detonated hundreds of homemade bombs, Sabah Al-Karhout, the head of the Anbar Provincial Council, said Thursday. The headquarters are located in the Albu Diab area,", "summary": "Iraqi forces bombard the small part of Tikrit where ISIS fighters are holding out .

+{"article": "(CNN)One is a former high school cornerback who also loves baseball. The other is a football fan who also played competitive golf. The two University of Oklahoma students at the center of a racist fraternity video have more than sports in common. They're both under fire since the nine-second clip showed them making racial slurs against blacks. In it, students at the now-disbanded Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity clap, pump their fists and laugh as they hurl racial slurs and make a reference to lynching. School officials have expelled Parker Rice and Levi Pettit because of their alleged \"leadership role\" in the racist chant. Here's what we know about the two students: . Rice, 19, was raised in Dallas, where he recently graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School. In high school, he was an avid sportsman, and he played cornerback on the football team, in addition to baseball, The Dallas Morning News reported. His father, Bob Rice, is a real estate agent in Dallas, where he volunteers for various organizations, including a baseball league and the local YMCA, according to the newspaper. Earlier this year, a sibling of the younger Rice described their close relationship in an interview with their high school newspaper. In the article, the brother says they enjoy playing video games and watching movies together. Rice has apologized for the video, calling his actions wrong and reckless. \"I made a horrible mistake by joining into the singing and encouraging others to do the same,\" he said in a statement Tuesday. His family has fled their home, where protesters gathered Wednesday. They've also wiped out their social media accounts. As the university tries to heal after days of controversy, some are rallying to Rice's defense. Matthew Lopez, a friend and fellow student at the university, said the video is not a reflection of who he is. \"That video does not represent his core personality,\" Lopez said. \"Unfortunately though, as things are, that might define him for a while. But it does not define him personally, I feel.\" Lopez described him as a \"charismatic, good person, with a good soul and a good spirit\" who experienced a lapse in judgment. \"His behavior is a result of his influence of the fraternity system and the traditions that have been embedded since pre-civil war times, when the fraternity was made, which obviously weren't the most tolerant times,\" Lopez said. The second student expelled, Pettit does not have much of a digital footprint. What appears to be his now deleted Twitter page mainly focuses on his musings about college football. Pettit played golf at his alma mater, Highland Park High School, The Dallas Morning News reported. In a statement, his parents said their son made a horrible mistake and apologized to African-Americans, students and university faculty. \"He is a good boy, but what we saw in those videos is disgusting,\" Brody and Susan Pettit said. \"While it may be difficult for those who only know Levi from the video to understand, we know his heart, and he is not a racist.\" CNN has reached out", "summary": "\"That video does not represent his core personality,\" a friend of Parker Rice says .

+{"article": "(CNN)It recalled one of the most memorable moments in comic book history, but for critics on social media, one comic book cover went too far, and it's now been pulled. DC Comics pulled the cover for the upcoming \"Batgirl\" #41, which portrays the Joker threatening a frightened Batgirl with a gun, with \"Joker makeup\" on her mouth. The Twitter hashtag #changethecover had been trending since Friday, when the cover was revealed. It's a variant, aka an optional cover, which tends to grab the attention of collectors but won't be the main cover seen in most stores. For the month of June, DC's variant covers are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the iconic villain. The cover recalls Barbara \"Batgirl\" Gordon's encounter with the Joker in the classic story \"The Killing Joke.\" In it, he brutally attacked Barbara, kidnapping her, and it was heavily implied that she was sexually assaulted. After being shot, the character remained in a wheelchair for decades, until DC retconned Barbara's fate in 2011, allowing her to walk again and be Batgirl. The criticism of the cover spread over a few days, though others defended it with their own hashtags. DC Comics (owned by Time Warner, which also owns CNN) said in a statement late Monday that artist Rafael Albuquerque's cover was going to be pulled. \"Regardless if fans like Rafael Albuquerque's homage to Alan Moore's THE KILLING JOKE graphic novel from 25 years ago, or find it inconsistent with the current tonality of the Batgirl books -- threats of violence and harassment are wrong and have no place in comics or society,\" they said. \"We stand by our creative talent, and per Rafael's request, DC Comics will not publish the Batgirl variant. \" Albuquerque said in his own statement, \"My Batgirl variant cover artwork was designed to pay homage to a comic that I really admire, and I know is a favorite of many readers. 'The Killing Joke' is part of Batgirl's canon and artistically, I couldn't avoid portraying the traumatic relationship between Barbara Gordon and the Joker.\" He continued, \"For me, it was just a creepy cover that brought up something from the character's past that I was able to interpret artistically. But it has become clear, that for others, it touched a very important nerve. I respect these opinions and, despite whether the discussion is right or wrong, no opinion should be discredited. He concluded, \"My intention was never to hurt or upset anyone through my art. For that reason, I have recommended to DC that the variant cover be pulled. I'm incredibly pleased that DC Comics is listening to my concerns and will not be publishing the cover art in June as previously announced.\" Albuquerque added in a tweet on Monday night that he was never threatened (the \"threats\" DC referenced were aimed at those objecting to the cover, per \"Batgirl\" writer Cameron Stewart). Stewart tweeted more: \"I stand behind Rafael as an artist and a friend, and think he made the right decision. The cover was not seen or approved by anyone on Team Batgirl", "summary": "Comic book portraying character with Joker makeup and gun to her head has stirred controversy .

Three major characters -- Superman, Wonder Woman (both of DC Comics, a Time Warner company, like CNN) and Archie Andrews -- came out with new looks (and costumes in two cases) Thursday. Superman and Wonder Woman are no stranger to change over time, but these are pretty different from what we're used to. Wonder Woman is back to wearing pants (similar to her style circa 2010, not to mention a brief time in the 1970s) along with something of a turtleneck and body armor. Superman looks the most casual that we've ever seen him, simply in a t-shirt and jeans, and decidedly shorter hair. He also looks like someone you might not want to come across in a dark alley. As for Archie (who never really died, by the way), he's getting ready for his promised TV show by debuting a modern look -- one that makes it much easier to see why Betty and Veronica have been fighting for his affections all of these years.

+{"article": "(CNN)There seems to be an ever-growing list of people, places and things that will turn you gay. Maybe we should think of these as the brigade of evil, homosexual nouns. There were the Teletubbies and SpongeBob SquarePants a decade ago. Now, as these views thankfully get more fringe, the theories are becoming increasingly bizarre and awesome. Among the homo nouns, there's the Common Core, according to a Florida lawmaker (education policy is super gay, obviously); Taylor Swift, who an op-ed writer for The Christian Post, Larry Tomczak, claims is being used by Ellen DeGeneres to \"attract young girls\" to her show (uh-huh); the Disney princess movie \"Frozen,\" according to radio hosts in Colorado (that dress!); and now, according to a potential 2016 Republican presidential contender, Ben Carson, there's prison. Yep, prison. Stay away from crime, kids. Turns ya gay. Carson, who, let me reiterate, is a potential presidential candidate from a major American party, and a neurosurgeon to boot, told CNN's Chris Cuomo in an interview that aired Wednesday that \"a lot of people ... go into prison straight -- and when they come out, they're gay.\" Asked if being gay was a choice, Carson replied in a word: \"Absolutely.\" This level of ignorance is so last century, so near-irrelevant, that I'm hesitant even to respond. But no one who holds these beliefs belongs in a race for the 2016 White House. Ordinarily, I'm the kind of gay person who likes to give people room to evolve. I know not everyone \"gets it\" automatically. That's OK, as long as you aren't hateful about it, are willing to listen and don't try to restrict the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. I'm from Oklahoma, a deeply conservative state, and I've seen friends, family and co-workers evolve. People who thought being gay was a sin -- or that it was a choice, or fixable -- now support same-sex marriage. People change. But presidential candidates don't get that leeway. Carson should know better. (In fact, he later apologized, regretting his words but saying the science on the issue of sexual orientation isn't clear.) These views belong in another decade, not modern America. This apparently still needs to be said: Being gay is not a choice. Don't believe me? Well, ask a gay person. As I mentioned, I'm one of those (despite never having seen \"Frozen\" in its entirety), and I can tell you that, for me, it wasn't a choice. It's not something I would want to undo, but it also isn't like I woke up one day and was like, huh, you know what would really mix it up this winter? Dating dudes instead of ladies. Science backs me on this. I'm not going to roll through all the details, but Mark Joseph Stern from Slate sums it up pretty well: \"In study after study, biologists have found that homosexuality, at least in men, is clearly, undoubtedly, inarguably an inborn trait.\" And even if it were a choice, who cares?

But right now, I am struggling and I thought a little bit of crowd sourcing with the highly intelligent men -- and especially the women -- who visit CNN.com might help. This is something I would never have considered before the advent of the blogosphere and social media, but where better now to start than at the home of the likes of Christiane Amanpour and Becky Anderson. So here is the situation. As you might know from a chat I had on CNN with Christiane last month, I have written my 11th book. It is called \"Winners: And how they succeed.\" It looks at hyper-achievers in sport, business and politics, interviews some of the biggest and most successful names alive -- and analyses some who are dead -- and tries to draw general lessons for all of us. It is going very well thank you. Not least thanks to media interest and a host of events, at which it has been snapped up variously at gatherings for students, business people, football fans, environmentalists and political activists, it has gone within four days of publication to Number 1 in the UK hardback non-fiction charts. I would be lying -- something I am not prone to do whatever the haters may say -- if I said I was not seriously chuffed about this.

At every single one of the nine or so events I have so far done about the book, and in several of the many interviews, I have been asked -- usually but not always by a woman -- a version of this same question: \"Do men and women win in different ways?\" And I don't really know what to say.

The England striker was surplus to requirements at Louis van Gaal's United, but was quick to capitalize on a mistake by Antonio Valencia to grab the winner just after the hour mark. A disappointing night for United was compounded by a late red card for Argentina international Angel Di Maria, who was given his marching orders after manhandling referee Michael Oliver. Di Maria was initially booked for simulation and took his protests too far by grabbing the official, which led to his instant dismissal. With 10 men, United was never able to exert any real pressure on Arsenal and it took two fine saves David De Gea to deny further goals from Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez for the away side. Victory for Arsenal booked a return to Wembley for a last four clash with either Reading or Bradford City, who are replaying their quarterfinal tie next Monday. Liverpool or Blackburn Rovers will play Aston Villa in the other semifinal. Arsenal had taken a 25th minute lead through Nacho Monreal, the Spanish defender converting after fine move which involved Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. But the advantage was short lived with Di Maria finding Wayne Rooney to score with a diving header. United looked to press ahead for the winner, but home hopes were dashed when Valencia made a hash of a back pass and Welbeck was quick to latch on to the loose ball and beat De Gea. 'I believe it was justice for him to score he worked extremely hard today,' Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said of Welbeck.

Cruz has been positioning for this nomination almost since he entered the upper chamber in 2012. His announcement takes place at a bastion of conservatism, Liberty University, the institution founded by evangelical leader Jerry Falwell. Cruz is going to run from the right. He has spent much of his short career in Washington blasting the \"mushy middle\" of his party (which might be news to most Democrats), which he dismisses as a \"failed electoral strategy.\" During a recent visit to New Hampshire, where he vowed to eliminate the Department of Education and the Internal Revenue Service, Cruz said that \"I'm pretty sure, here in New Hampshire, y'all define gun control like we do in Texas: Gun control is when you hit at what you aim at.\" Fifty years ago, another Republican senator ran this kind of campaign, Arizona's Barry Goldwater, who took on President Lyndon Johnson. Cruz will test the conventional wisdom that Goldwater's strategy was and remains a failure. When Republicans voted to nominate him in 1964, Goldwater told the delegates that \"extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice no virtue.\" When the icon of moderate Republicans, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, spoke to the convention, the delegates hissed and booed. The outcome was far from great for the GOP. Johnson defeated Goldwater in a landslide election that brought in huge liberal Democratic majorities that passed the exact programs that conservatives abhorred. Although Goldwater was clearly wrong when he ran in 1964, Cruz thinks that the times have changed. Is he right? Right now, the chances are not great. If Cruz really sticks to this strategy of extremism, he faces very long odds of making it to the White House. The strategy might help him to garner some primary votes against Jeb Bush in red states, but it is not an approach with a great track record. Even as the Republican Party has shifted to the right in recent decades, Republican candidates who have obtained the nomination, and those who have also won the presidency, always developed campaign themes that allowed them to appeal to broader coalitions than voters on the extremes. Ronald Reagan had anti-communism and tax cuts to attract voters into one big tent, and George H.W. Bush had a thousand points of light. His son George W. Bush emphasized policies tied to \"compassionate conservatism\" to prove that he was not an extreme zealot. Even Republicans who didn't win in the general elections, like John McCain and Mitt Romney, did not win the primary and caucus tallies by only playing to the base. Notwithstanding the conventional wisdom, even in primaries it seems that Republican voters understand the importance of finding someone who has the potential to win in November.

The senator from Massachusetts is likely to give the same answer as she did on a presidential run, but Jackie Kucinich of The Daily Beast says the liberal clamoring tells us something about anxiety on the left. \"What this does show is there is a lot of skepticism with the base with Chuck Schumer, because he's so close to Wall Street, and it's an issue they've really been hammering on,\" Kucinich said. \"So watch for more of that, because I have a feeling that they are going to make their voices heard, through Warren or not.\" 2.

NPR's Juana Summers shared reporting on how Team Boehner hopes that ending the month with a little momentum will carry over when other big legislative battles come to the fore. \"Part of (his success) is because of the speaker's willingness to use unconventional tactics, to work with Democrat Nancy Pelosi for that Medicare reform,\" Summers said. \"Congress has a lot of big deadlines when they return.

Levinson, a retired FBI agent, vanished after traveling to the Iranian island of Kish in March 2007 and is one of the longest-held U.S. citizens in history. The FBI announced the reward increase on the eighth anniversary of Levinson's disappearance -- and the day before his 67th birthday. \"Levinson traveled to Kish Island, Iran, on March 8, 2007, working on behalf of several large corporations, and his whereabouts, well-being and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance have been unknown since that time,\" it said in a statement. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement asking Iran to cooperate with the investigation into Levinson's whereabouts. \"He has spent more than 2,900 days separated from those who love him, and is one of the longest held U.S. citizens in history. Year after year, the family has endured the pain of his absence. It is time for him to come home,\" Kerry said. \"We remain committed to the safe return of Mr. Levinson to his family and appreciate the support and assistance from our international partners. We remain concerned about Mr. Levinson's health given his age and the length of his disappearance.\" Iran's government repeatedly has said it is not holding Levinson and does not know his whereabouts. The FBI says he was in Iran as a private investigator. But news reports in 2013 said he was working as an independent CIA contractor when he disappeared. That prompted his family to speak out, saying they kept it quiet for years that Levinson was working for the CIA, because the U.S. government had warned them that revealing it would put him in more jeopardy.

+{"article": "(CNN)Manchester United and skipper Wayne Rooney significantly boosted its own chances and delivered a probable knockout blow to Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of Champions League qualification with 3-0 home win Sunday. First half goals from Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Rooney effectively ended the EPL match as a contest, with the win leaving United in fourth spot, but only two points adrift of second-placed Manchester City. Tottenham is seventh, six points adrift of the top four. Rooney's third after another piece of disastrous defending from the visitors led to an impromptu and topical goal celebration, which was certainly the main talking point. A national newspaper had posted a video on on social media Sunday which appeared to show Rooney being felled by fellow EPL footballer and former United teammate Phil Bardsley as both donned boxing gloves for a \"friendly\" fight in his kitchen. After he had converted following a mistake by Nabil Bentaleb, Rooney threw a few mock punches then keeled over backwards on to the Old Trafford turf. Tottenham's players and fans were probably the only people not to see the funny side, but the joke was on them, having gone into the match seeking a third straight away win at United and five games unbeaten against the Red Devils. From United first significant attack on nine minutes, an unmarked Fellaini was found by Carrick and the Belgian international beat Hugo Lloris with a low shot. Fellaini caused chaos in the Tottenham defense for the second with Carrick left free to head home from distance. Rooney's emphatic strike after Bentaleb gifted him possession, proved the icing on the cake. The victory eases the pressure on manager Louis Van Gaal and his expensively assembled side after some lackluster recent performances and last Monday's disappointing FA Cup exit to Arsenal. It meant Tottenham, off the back of two straight wins and with Harry Kane in top form, was favored going into the crucial match, but the young striker barely had a glimpse of goal, until having his side's first shot on target after fully 88 minutes as United dominated. Earlier, Chelsea extended its lead at the top of the EPL to six points but was held 1-1 at home to Southampton in another less than convincing performance from Jose Mourinho's team. Off the back of a disappointing Champions League exit to Paris Saint Germain, Chelsea again struggled to find its best form at Stamford Bridge despite going in front from Diego Costa's 18th league goal. Dusan Tasic equalized from the spot for the Saints after Nemanja Matic was adjudged to have fouled Sadio Mane, with Chelsea protests waved away. Chelsea found Fraser Forster hard to beat and the visiting goalkeeper made fine saves from Oscar, Eden Hazard and Juan Cuadrado to deny the leaders three points.

Yes, Jobs was brilliant. And yes, Jobs also could be a bastard. Isaacson's book contained numerous examples of Jobs' cruel behavior, such as verbally abusing employees whose work didn't meet his exacting standards. Now a new book is presenting a kinder, gentler portrait of the mercurial tech exec. \"Becoming Steve Jobs,\" by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli, seeks to humanize Jobs through interviews with those who knew him in the latter, wildly successful phases of his career, when some of his rough edges had softened. The book, which went on sale Tuesday, has created a strange irony. Unlike Isaacson's book, it's an unauthorized bio, one that was not given Jobs' blessing before he died. And yet Apple, mindful of Jobs' legacy, has clearly endorsed this new vision of their former CEO over the Isaacson version. \"I thought the Isaacson book did him a tremendous disservice. It was just a rehash of a bunch of stuff that had already been written, and focused on small parts of his personality,\" says current Apple CEO Tim Cook in the new book. \"You get the feeling that (Steve's) a greedy, selfish egomaniac. It didn't capture the person. The person I read about there is somebody I would never have wanted to work with over all this time. Life is too short.\" Other Apple execs also have heaped praise on \"Becoming Steve Jobs\" while criticizing Isaacson's bestseller. \"Best portrayal is about to be released - Becoming Steve Jobs (book). Well done and first to get it right,\" tweeted Eddy Cue, Apple's chief of software, last week. And Jony Ive, Apple's head of design, said in a New Yorker profile last month, \"My regard (for Isaacson's book) couldn't be any lower.\" Isaacson, for his part, told the New York Times recently that he tried to present a balanced view of Jobs: \"My book is very favorable and honest, with no anonymous slings,\" he said. Although Jobs' life and career have been well chronicled, the new book contains some fresh tidbits: . -- In 2009, when Jobs was dying of cancer, Cook offered his boss a piece of his liver but Jobs refused, saying, \"No, I'll never let you do that.\" -- What was likely the last movie Jobs watched before his death was an odd choice: \"Remember the Titans,\" the sentimental Disney drama about a racially integrated high school football team in 1971. \"I was so surprised he wanted to watch that movie,\" Cook recalled. \"I was like, 'Are you sure?' Steve was not interested in sports at all.\" -- And Jobs' famous commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005 almost got derailed before it started. A police officer turned him and his family away from the campus, saying the parking lot was full, and expressed skepticism that the scruffy Jobs, wearing his usual jeans and black T-shirt, was really the event's keynote speaker.

+{"article": "(CNN)A Massachusetts teenager faces a pretrial hearing in April on involuntary manslaughter charges for allegedly sending text messages urging a friend to commit suicide, even after he expressed second thoughts, authorities said Saturday. Michelle Carter, 18, was indicted on February 5. Conrad Roy, 18, of Fairhaven and Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, was found dead in his car of apparent carbon monoxide poisoning on July 13, Sgt. Kevin Kobza, public information officer for the Fairhaven Police Department, said Saturday. At one point the night of Roy's death, he exited the vehicle and communicated to Carter that he was having second thoughts about taking his own life, Kobza told CNN. Carter then urged him via text message to get back in the car, Kobza said. Upon searching Roy's cell phone, police discovered \"hundreds\" of texts between Roy and Carter, many which contained language from Carter that encouraged Roy to take his own life, Kobza said. \"Instead of attempting to assist him or notify his family or school officials, Ms. Carter is alleged to have strongly influenced his decision to take his own life, encouraged him to commit suicide and guided him in his engagement of activities which led to his death,\" Gregg Miliote, director of communications for the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, said in a statement. Carter's lawyer, Joseph Cataldo, said Saturday that the evidence will show this was not manslaughter and that Carter attempted to console Roy on \"many occasions.\" \"The facts that have been given out to the public at this point put her in the worst possible light,\" Cataldo said. \"My heart goes out to the family, but this was a young man who planned this for months and months.\" On a Twitter page confirmed by the District Attorney's Office to be Carter's, several photos and tweets about Roy have been posted since his death. One tweet reads, \"I can't believe today already marks 4 months without you. I love you and miss you always Conrad...\" In September 2014, Carter organized a softball tournament in Roy's memory and raised $2,300 for mental health awareness, according to Kobza. Carter was arraigned on the indictment on February 6 in New Bedford Juvenile Court, released on $2,500 bail and told not to use social media, according to Miliote. Carter was indicted as a youthful offender because she was not yet 18 when the alleged crimes occurred. Youthful offenders are tried in juvenile court but the proceedings are public, Cataldo said. Because of a familial relationship he has with the victim's family, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn recused himself from the investigation and prosecution of this case, the District Attorney's Office said.

+{"article": "(CNN)NASA's tractor-trailer sized Dawn spacecraft will snuggle up to Ceres on Friday, getting close enough to be pulled into orbit and to complete the first mission to a dwarf planet. \"I'm just delighted that Dawn is now on the doorstep of Ceres,\" Jim Green, director of NASA's planetary science division said in a news conference on Monday. Dawn is expected to begin orbiting Ceres around 7:20 a.m. ET, but NASA says it may take an hour or two to confirm it. Ceres was discovered in 1801 (Pluto wasn't found until 1930) and was the first object found in our solar system's main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It's about 310 million miles from Earth and was initially classified as planet, then later demoted to an asteroid, only to be reclassified again as a dwarf planet. The early images from Dawn already have mission scientists excited. \"Ceres has really surprised us,\" said Carol Raymond, Dawn's deputy principal investigator. \"The first images have produced some really puzzling features.\" One of the puzzles -- two bright white spots that showed up in photographs taken by Dawn in February. \"These spots were extremely surprising to the team, and they have been puzzling to the team and to everybody who's seen them.\" The spots are in a 57-mile wide (92 kilometer) crater. The spot in the center of the crater is about twice as bright as the spot on the side of the crater. \"This extreme brightness was really unexpected,\" Raymond said. The Dawn team is \"really, really excited about this feature because it is unique in the solar system.\" Raymond says the brightness is consistent with highly reflective materials such as ice or salts. This might help add more credence to a discovery made in 2014 by ESA's Herschel infrared space observatory. The telescope detected water vapor around Ceres coming from the same area where the spots are located. \"It might be related to that water vapor emission,\" Raymond said. Herschel's scientists also said their research showed Ceres has an atmosphere. Raymond said her team is keen to confirm that. Scientists expect to learn more as Dawn is gradually lowered to about 235 miles above the surface of Ceres in December. \"The mystery will be solved,\" she said. But Ceres seems to have lots of oddities. \"We see many strange features,\" Raymond said. \"We see smooth areas, some areas that are chaotically fractured and we see craters of all sizes.\" One of the other things scientists noticed is how round Ceres is. Being round is very important because it is the main characteristic of a planet -- a title that Ceres had -- then lost. Ceres was demoted to an asteroid because 19th century astronomers couldn't be sure it was round. But it was bumped up to a dwarf planet when that category was created in 2006.

+{"article": "Port Vila, Vanuatu (CNN)Tropical Cyclone Pam had already been battering Vanuatu's capital for hours when the River Prima suddenly flooded its banks. A wall of water and mud surged through Sam Upan's house, toppling the walls of the neighboring church where he serves as a deacon. It was midnight on Friday, and he had no choice but to wade out into the gale force wind and darkness. \"The water was up to my waist!\" he says. Upan eventually made it to higher ground, taking shelter on a parked van. Fortunately, he had sent his family away before the storm to a shelter in the center of the capital, Port Vila. But on Monday, three days after the storm struck, Upan and his daughters sit in the debris strewn rubble of their home. On Sunday, he built a temporary shack for them to sleep under. A bundle of bananas donated by a friend lies nearby in the mud. It's the only food the family has to eat. Nearby, Upan's daughter Elsie slowly scrubs mud out of a shirt. Other families all across this tropical town are facing similar difficulties in the aftermath of the storm. To many Westerners, Vanuatu is a holiday destination boasting crystal blue waters and luxury yachts. But it's also one of the poorest nations in the Pacific, and many of its 260,000 inhabitants live in flimsy houses built of thatch or metal sheets. Those vulnerable homes were dealt a fearsome blow over the weekend by Cyclone Pam, one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall. The aid group Oxfam is warning that the cyclone may have caused \"one of the worst disasters ever seen in the Pacific.\" The storm rampaged across Vanuatu's sprawling archipelago of more than 80 islands on Friday and Saturday, wielding 155 mph (250 kph) winds. About 65 islands in the archipelago are inhabited. The full extent of the devastation remained unclear Monday. With communication lines to many of the outer islands cut, it could take days or even weeks to emerge. Eleven people have so far been confirmed dead, according to Vanuatu authorities said. But the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said the toll was expected to rise. The agency said 3,300 people were taking shelter in 37 evacuation centers. How to help Vanuatu residents . Vanuatu President Baldwin Lonsdale told CNN the destruction was the worst his country had ever experienced, describing the storm as \"a monster.\" He said it would take the developing nation \"a couple of years\" to get back to where it was before Pam struck. In the capital, Port Vila, residents were still reeling from the storm's impact. Thousands of people have been left homeless and many who rely on subsistence farming to get by have seen their main source of food wiped out. Most people live on root crops, said Jonathan Napat, a ranking natural disaster official. \"What the people depend on entirely is just wiped out.\" He was overwhelmed by the dimension of the food loss. \"Just unbearable.

The Rangers arrived unannounced early Wednesday morning, arrested five men and sealed off the party's headquarter for four hours. According to a press release from the MQM (Muttahida Qaumi Movement) one of their party workers was shot fatally by rangers during the raid. \"All telephone lines have been disconnected and premises ransacked. Computers and other electronic items have been confiscated. The Rangers also destroyed the electronic surveillance system that had been set up following the May 2013 bomb attacks by the Pakistan Taliban (TTP),\" the release said. Rangers officials have not responded so far to these accusations. In a statement to the media, the Pakistan Rangers released a list of those arrested, including Faisal Mota, a former MQM worker who had been convicted and sentenced to death in absentia for the murder of journalist Wali Khan Babur. Speaking to the media, Rangers spokesperson Col.Tahir Mahmood also confirmed that a large amount of illegal weapons had been seized during the raid. \"The weapons that we had were legal and there as a precautionary measure to deal with real threats from the Taliban against our party and its workers,\" Faisal Sabzwari, a senior MQM party leader told CNN. MQM is based in Karachi and is one of Pakistan's largest political parties. It has the second-largest contingent in the provincial assembly, with 54 of 130 seats. It styles itself as a voice for the downtrodden, the middle class and immigrants from nearby India, but political rivals accuse the party of using heavy-handed tactics, including intimidation, to stay in power. \"The raid is meant to send a clear message that law enforcement agencies and Rangers in particular are not going to bow to any political convention,\" said Zarrar Khuhro, a senior journalist and political analyst in Karachi. MQM's party leader Altaf Hussain, who has been living in self-imposed exile in London called for calm, but criticized the raid saying that \"it should not be the role of the armed forces to conduct extrajudicial operations on lawful organizations, least of all the headquarters of a democratically elected political party.\" Pakistan's Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said late Wednesday night that the raid was legal.

+{"article": "(CNN)The Ferguson Police Department has demonstrated a pattern of racial discrimination, the Justice Department said Wednesday. But while some experts say the numbers alone tell only part of the story, the 102-page report merely reaffirmed many residents' beliefs. In Ferguson, just over 67% of residents are black. But among the findings, the report shows that 85% of traffic stops, 90% of citations, 93% of arrests and 88% of use-of-force incidents involved African-Americans, the Justice Department said. St. Louis Alderman Antonio French said the police department's behavior amounted to \"taxation by citation.\" He told CNN the arrests affected not just Ferguson residents but also residents of nearby communities who pass through Ferguson en route to other locales in the area. Justice Department: No Darren Wilson charges . The statistics sound damning, but former Los Angeles Police Chief Bernard Parks, who dealt with the Justice Department during his five-year tenure as chief, said, \"The numbers can be deceiving because the population is overwhelmingly black.\" The numbers alone don't paint the full picture, he said, explaining that he'd need more than mere statistics about each stop to draw solid conclusions. Read the report . Parks served as chief in LA from 1997 to 2002, and after the Justice Department determined in 2000 that the LAPD had engaged \"in a pattern or practice of excessive force, false arrests and unreasonable searches and seizures,\" he had to overhaul the department, combating corruption and even jailing former police officers. Based on that experience, Parks said the report released Wednesday shouldn't be taken at face value, but rather should be used to help determine \"what is really going on in Ferguson and what to do to correct it.\" Politics may even be at play, Los Angeles-based community activist Joe Hicks suggested. Attorney General Eric Holder wanted to bring civil rights cases against Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson, who killed Michael Brown in August, and Florida neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who killed Trayvon Martin in 2012 -- but neither case panned out. The report may be Holder's way to \"extract a pound of flesh, if you will, from the Ferguson Police Department.\" (Also Wednesday, the Justice Department closed its investigation into Wilson, declining to bring criminal charges against him.) Still, the report likely didn't surprise some residents who spoke to CNN in August, during the height of the protests. Patricia Pendelton, 41, a nurse who lives a few blocks from where Brown took his last steps, said older and female African-American residents aren't affected as much, but her sons -- ages 17, 19 and 21 -- have had different experiences. They and other young black men have been stopped for reasons as spurious as looking suspicious, she said. \"How does a person look suspicious? What do you have to be wearing to look suspicious?\" she asked before mimicking an offending police officer's questions: \"'Where you going? What you doing? How you doing it?'

+{"article": "(CNN)I am atheist -- and I am black. Yes, we exist -- even if many in the media sometimes don't notice us. In a CNN special that aired on Tuesday, for example, people of color were not as well-represented as American atheism's more familiar face: You know, white males. In fact, African-American atheists represent a still small -- though growing -- segment of American atheists at large. Does this mean that blacks and other minorities generally just don't gravitate towards nonbelief, or are there other factors which keep us hidden? There is a harsh truth to face here. Most blacks identify as religious. Belief in God is touted with pride, and the church is intricately tied to tradition, history and culture. It is not uncommon to assume that I attend services as a black woman. The question often isn't if I go to church -- it's where. And even if one doesn't go to church, surely they still have faith -- because our people have endured and overcome so much hardship that it had to be the work of a god. All of this makes the words \"black\" and \"atheist\" hard for many to imagine in the same sentence. It can be extremely difficult to discuss religion objectively in the black community. Many have social, emotional and financial stakes invested in this institution, so for one to even say they have doubts is like committing treason. To openly identify as an atheist in the midst of heavy religious influence can be next to impossible, and good luck finding other blacks who also don't believe. It is very important to note however, that the Internet has made it easier for black atheists to find each other, and there is a large community of us online. Though I was raised secular -- a rarity in my community -- I've had to endure ostracism from family and friends as a result of openly identifying as an atheist. However, my journey is far from tragic. In founding my organization, Black Nonbelievers, in 2011, I have been fortunate to connect with others who were either raised secular like myself, or who were brought up extremely religious and left it behind. And they have done so bravely, defying the perception and expectation that all blacks blindly accept religion. The Friendly Atheists Next Door . My experience in the secular community as a black atheist has ranged from feeling totally welcome to feeling totally isolated, and even ignored. On the one hand, there is common ground shared -- our nonbelief and even discontent with religion unites us. On the other hand, there is a notion that since we share this common ground that there are no other issues to address. The lack of people of color at secular events is a problem -- partly because there is unawareness of such events existing, but also because there is limited effort placed in accommodation and care. We are sometimes treated as if we are invisible, or even as an afterthought -- which does not make the few persons of color feel", "summary": "African-American atheists represent a small but growing segment of American atheists at large .

+{"article": "(CNN)Before he was Jihadi John, he was little John -- a young version of the same Mohammed Emwazi who authorities say later became the English-speaking face of ISIS terror. His earlier, innocent image can be seen in video obtained from Britain's Channel 4. It shows a teenage boy in the schoolyard of a West London secondary school. He walks through a sea of fellow students in his zippered sweatshirt over his polo shirt, wearing a backpack and carrying a plastic bottle. At one point, a basketball rolls toward him and he returns it with a deft kick. He looks playful at times as when he skips and lightheartedly pushes two other boys, more serious in others. In other words, he appears to be not much different than any other teenager. But he's not. The boy in the video is Emwazi, his former headmaster at Quintin Kynaston Community Academy told CNN. Who Mohammed Emwazi used to be . Jo Shuter noted that her former student could be shy at times, but overall he was far from a troublemaker and not much out of the ordinary. \"He was bullied a little bit, because he was quiet and reserved,\" Shuter said. \"Generally, he was fine. There (were) no issues with him. There were no problems.\" Emwazi became even more focused in his last few years at Quintin Kynaston Community Academy, she said. \"He was working hard, he achieved great grades for him, and he went to the university of his choice,\" Shuter told CNN this week, referring to London's Westminster University, from which Emwazi graduated in 2009. Contrast that perception with that of the masked, deep-voiced, British-accented man who months ago was dubbed Jihadi John. There is nothing shy, nothing gentle, nothing playful about him. He starred in grisly ISIS videos depicting the beheading of hostages, punctuating his horrific actions with taunts at the United States. A man who says he is Emwazi's father told the Kuwaiti newspaper al Qabas that \"there is nothing that proves\" the man known as Jihadi John is his son, Mohammed. His Kuwait-based lawyer, Salem Al-Hashash, told CNN that the family plans to sue anyone who makes the connection, calling the father Jassem Emwazi a \"victim of libel.\" Yet Western authorities have made just such a link. They say that the Kuwaiti-born Mohammed Emwazi went from being a typical \"boy next door\" type growing up in West London to being one of the most high-profile recruits of ISIS, the Islamist extremist group behind a campaign of terror and conquest in Syria and Iraq. More than a dozen British administrative court documents obtained by CNN indicate that, as far back as 2009, British security services believed Emwazi was part of a radical West London recruitment network for terrorist groups in East Africa. And in late February, two U.S. officials and two U.S. congressional sources confirmed reports in British and other media that Emwazi went on to join ISIS and is the man known as Jihadi John.", "summary": "Video shows a young Mohammed Emwazi in a West London schoolyard .

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)There should be plenty of pent-up anticipation among cherry blossom fans in Washington this spring. Peak blooms are expected at the tail end of the three-week-long National Cherry Blossom Festival, which kicks off Friday and runs through April 12. The fluttering pink and white blossoms are expected to hit their peak between April 11 and April 14. Here are five things to know about the eagerly awaited D.C. blossoms: . The city's first cherry trees were destroyed . In 1910, 2,000 cherry trees arrived in Washington, thanks to a gift from the city of Tokyo and the advocacy of Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, one of the first female board members of the National Geographic Society. These trees, however, were riddled with disease and were destroyed. Two years later, first lady Helen Herron Taft planted one of the first of more than 3,000 replacement trees sent from Japan. Winter's almost over: See the proof . The festival was launched more than 20 years later . It wasn't until 1935 that civic groups and the D.C. government came together to hold the first \"Cherry Blossom Festival.\" That first official festival came after smaller commemorations including a three-day celebration in 1934 and a 1927 re-enactment of the original planting of the trees by a group of Washington school children. It's not all about cherry trees . That's right, there's a Blossom Kite Festival right in the middle of the cherry blossom festivities on March 28th. The festival consists of a hot tricks showdown, learning how to make and fly kites, and there's even a kite doctor on site to repair broken kites. Two types of trees dominate . In the 1912 gift of trees to Washington, there were 12 different varieties. Today, two varieties are dominant -- Yoshino and Kwanzan. Kwanzan trees are usually found in the East Potomac Park area and produce pink blossoms. The Yoshino, which produce white blossoms, are closer to the northern part of the Tidal Basin near the Washington Monument. Descendants of the original trees live in Japan . In 2011, about 120 trees propagated from D.C.'s surviving 1912 trees were sent back to Japan to preserve the genetic lineage of the symbolic trees. Over the years, cuttings from the original trees have also been returned to Japan for horticultural projects.", "summary": "The National Cherry Blossom Festival starts March 20 in Washington .

+{"article": "(CNN)In the past eight months, ISIS has seeded itself in some dozen countries around the globe. Indicative of this was the announcement on Saturday that the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram had pledged its \"allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims,\" ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. The global spread of ISIS raises key questions about whether these new affiliates signal an intensification of the threat of terror. It also has important implications for the debate in Congress over Obama's request for a new authorization to fight ISIS. Lt. Col. Michael Waltz, a U.S. Special Forces reserve officer who has just returned to the States after advising the Nigerian Ministry of Defence in its fight against Boko Haram, told me, \"So far the pledge (to ISIS) seems to be legit.\" Waltz says there is some debate about the timing of the pledge, because Boko Haram has recently come under effective attacks by Nigerian forces allied with the armies of neighboring African countries that are also threatened by the group: \"Some folks in the region are saying it's a sign of desperation, as the regional offensive by Nigeria and its neighbors has knocked Boko Haram on its heels and out of a number of its sanctuaries. The Chadians have been particularly effective.\" But Waltz also says there is some evidence that the Boko Haram pledge to ISIS \"has been in the works for some time.\" The group's increasing alignment with ISIS is demonstrated by Boko Haram's recent beheadings of its victims and its more professionally edited video releases of recent weeks that have mimicked ISIS' slick videos. Virginia Comolli, whose book \"Boko Haram: Nigeria's Islamist Insurgency,\" will be published next month, agrees that the more sophisticated Boko Haram media releases of the past couple of months point to \"some sort of inspiration\" that Boko Haram is drawing from ISIS and that recent beheadings \"might also be a form of copycat but, I shall note, they are not completely new\" for Boko Haram. Comolli also emphasized to me, \"lately the government had been able to take back a number of towns under Boko Haram control. Boko Haram has always been very resilient and adaptable, changing and upping its game when needed. The pledge might be exactly that: Boko Haram has recently suffered some serious blows and feels it needs to try something different to strengthen its position.\" Some 5,000 have died in Boko-related violence during the past half-decade, while more than 1.5 million have been forced out of their homes, but Boko has generally not attacked Western targets. Its affiliation with ISIS could change that although, for the moment, it's not clear how the Boko-ISIS alliance would work from an operational standpoint. Hilary Matfess, a researcher at the Nigeria Social Violence Project at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, told me, \"Boko Haram would be the largest group to pledge allegiance to ISIS, but it's not certain what kinds of logistical or operational support that ISIS could provide an African affiliate.\" Since August, Boko Haram is one of some 30 terrorist", "summary": "Bergen: Boko Haram is the latest of terrorist groups in 12 countries to pledge allegiance to ISIS .

+{"article": "(CNN)If the wheel was man's greatest invention, putting two wheels together comes as a close second for Dani Foffa, CEO of Foffa Bikes. His eponymous company builds bespoke urban bicycles with a stylish design that has been lauded by magazines like Vogue and GQ. London-based Foffa tracks his passion for cycling back to his childhood in Venice, Italy, where biking in the city's winding narrow streets was a rare treat. He spent his early professional career as a business analyst, before a nagging feeling that there was more to life encouraged him to start designing and building bikes, initially from his office garage. \"I started refurbishing vintage bikes up and reselling them online. And the demand just grew very gradually, steadily, to the point that it was time for us to get our own brand in the bikes, and open up our first shop. I took my chances, I quit my job, and clearly I have no regrets,\" says Foffa.

+{"article": "Hong Kong (CNN)Nestled in a tranquil hillside, Hong Kong's newest Buddhist monastery features bulletproof VIP rooms and the world's second tallest statue of the Goddess of Mercy -- a Buddhist deity. The monastery is funded entirely by Asia's richest man, Li Ka-shing, who contributed $193 million from his personal foundation to the building project. The premises, styled on Tang dynasty buildings, sprawl across a lush, green area of 500,000 square feet - around nine football fields. It can accommodate up to 400 to 500 visitors daily, but will not be open to tour groups in order to preserve the sacred atmosphere. Li initiated the project in 2003 to promote Buddhism in the city and construction took five years to complete. At a height of 76 meters (250 feet), the Goddess of Mercy statue overlooks the site and a breathtaking view of Hong Kong's harbor and several islands. The monastery also features several grand halls, including one which houses three ornate 24-karat gold plated Buddhist statues, where people can meditate, and learn about Buddhism. But perhaps the most intriguing feature is the bulletproof dormitory rooms. One of the three dormitories that provide housing for visiting monks from all over world has built-in bulletproof windows to protect \"important guests.\" \"We installed the bulletproof glass windows because we hoped there could be a place to protect our important guests such as the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand and other top monks,\" Walter Ngai Kai-shu, secretary general of the monastery told local media. The rooms are still empty, and Ngai added that they were not designed for Li or any specific individual, reported the South China Morning Post. Visitors are not allowed to bring joss sticks, meat, alcohol, or other food offerings in order to be environmentally friendly --- instead the monastery will provide water. \"There are many other ways to offer the Buddha apart from joss sticks,\" Ngai told local media. Currently, a dozen monks, mainly from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia reside inside the monastery. It will be open to the public on April 15, but registration and booking is now available online.

On Tuesday the highway patrol released two 911 calls from the incident in which the frantic caller pleads for medical help for the man. The operator tells him the highway patrol is on the way.

She was reminiscing about the period in September and October when the Ebola outbreak was at its peak. \"Of all the pain that we faced, the cremation was the hardest,\" she explained. I knew exactly what she meant -- cremation was as far away from the norm for burials in West Africa as one can imagine. As the Ebola outbreak wanes in Liberia, it is easy to imagine the heroes as the myriad of foreign doctors, nurses, epidemiologists and logisticians that have come to support the country in their days of need, and yes, these expatriates have definitely brought to bear much knowledge, expertise and resources on controlling the outbreak. But there is a group of heroes who are unlikely to make any headlines or be celebrated as such. They are the thousands of Liberian citizens that have gone door-to-door asking questions, looking for the ill, offering advice, day after day, after day for months on end. When they do find an ill person who may have Ebola, they begin the painful process of convincing them that it is safer to be an Ebola treatment unit than at home. Often the question that follows is: \"What happened to all those that went in before me? What happened to them?\" Thankfully, Liberia appears to be on its way back. It currently has the lowest numbers of confirmed cases of Ebola since the onset of the second phase of the outbreak in the middle of last year. The streets are full of activity and schools have reopened. Across the country, there is an unmistakable sense that people are desperate to get on with their lives. At the Grand Royal Hotel, on Tubman Avenue, the main road through Monrovia, the manager sits in the popular caf\u00e9 in the front garden. Most of his guests are still members of the large contingent of development workers from all over the world, or members of the armed forces and police services that form part of the U.N. military mission in Liberia, UNMIL. He admits that while this has been good for business, he would rather have his \"normal\" clients back. Monrovia is an interesting place -- it feels very West African. The food is familiar -- fish, plantain, rice... with lots of red pepper. The power situation is still very poor and most people in Monrovia rely on generators.

+{"article": "(CNN)Fortunately, the intensive diplomatic efforts to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran and another war didn't stop after 47 Republican senators, led by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton, appeared to try to goad Iran's leaders into forgoing a diplomatic solution to the nuclear dispute. Neither have they stopped since Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered what was effectively a reelection campaign speech on the House floor. Despite so many concerted efforts to sabotage our diplomats, our negotiators are still hard at work to secure an agreement with Tehran that, if successfully concluded, will go down in the annals of diplomatic history as marking a new era for U.S.-Iran relations. Indeed, progress toward a political framework would move us closer to attainable safeguards on Iran's nuclear program as well as jump-start a more productive relationship that could pay extra dividends for years to come. Before President Obama's phone call with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani last fall -- the first direct contact between U.S. and Iranian heads of state in more than 30 years -- such an agreement seemed unthinkable. Now, with clear-eyed diplomacy, negotiators from the U.S. and five other countries, plus Iran, are in reach of delivering a peaceful resolution to the decade-long impasse over Iran's nuclear program. Diplomats have tackled thorny, complex nonproliferation issues that have never been comprehensively addressed in a multilateral agreement before. They have labored to eliminate Iran's potential pathways to a nuclear weapon while allowing the country to maintain a limited nuclear energy program, but under what is arguably the world's most locked-down nuclear inspections regime. U.S., German, British, French, Chinese and Russian negotiators are continuing to build on the solid success of the preliminary nuclear accord negotiated last year, the so-called Joint Plan of Action. That plan continues to grant inspectors daily access to Iran's nuclear facilities in order to verify its adherence to the agreement. As a result, Iran's nuclear program will be frozen for the first time since its inception, as diplomats craft a comprehensive resolution to this standoff. If and when a final agreement is reached, the President may temporarily waive some sanctions if Iran's compliance can be verified. Congress has, for its part, authorized the President to provide limited, temporary and reversible sanctions relief so long as doing so advances U.S. national security interests. As former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft and countless other national security experts have attested, such a diplomatic solution to this crisis is squarely in the national interests of the United States. In exchange for Iran following through on its promises to constrain its program in accordance with the agreement, the U.S. Congress will be asked to lift sanctions permanently. If Tehran demonstrates its long-term commitment to limit its nuclear program to exclusively peaceful purposes, then when the time comes, Congress should be ready to lift the sanctions. In the interim, it is crucial that all parties scrupulously adhere to the terms of this landmark agreement. While Iran must not install unauthorized centrifuges, attempt a secret program or otherwise fail to adhere to the agreement, the U.S. Congress also has responsibilities", "summary": "47 Republican senators last week sent an open letter to Iran's leadership .

The White House is refusing to take him at his word. \"We take him at his word when he said that it wouldn't happen during his prime ministership, and so that's why we've got to evaluate what other options are available to make sure that we don't see a chaotic situation in the region,\" President Barack Obama said in an interview with The Huffington Post published Saturday. These are the President's first public comments since Netanyahu's party captured the most seats in Tuesday's parliamentary election. Netanyahu has said in at least three post-election interviews that he still believes in Palestinian statehood, despite his pre-election flip-flop on the issue in what experts called a desperate appeal for conservative votes. Only on Thursday, two days after the election, did President Obama congratulate Netanyahu by phone on his victory. White House press secretary Josh Earnest declined to say whether Netanyahu clarified his position on the two-state policy during that phone call. But Obama told the Prime Minister that the United States would \"reassess\" aspects of its relationship with Israel after Netanyahu's earlier provocative statements opposing the creation of a Palestinian state. Administration officials have said the United States is now considering signing on to a U.N. resolution which supports a Palestinian state. Regarding comments Netanyahu made Tuesday about Arab Israeli voters going to the polls \"in droves\" -- comments described by some as racist -- Obama told The Huffington Post that that kind of \"rhetoric\" was \"contrary to what is best of Israel's traditions. That although Israel was founded based on the historic Jewish homeland and the need to have a Jewish homeland, Israeli democracy has been premised on everybody in the country being treated equally and fairly.\" Obama added: \"If that is lost, then I think that not only does it give ammunition to folks who don't believe in a Jewish state, but it also I think starts to erode the name of democracy in the country.\" U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, who invited Netanyahu to address that controversial joint meeting of Congress earlier this month, plans to visit Israel at the end of the month. While the speaker's office says the trip was planned well before the Prime Minister's re-election, it will come around the deadline for an initial nuclear deal between Iran, the United States and other world powers.", "summary": "President talks with Huffington Post about Israeli leader .

They are Syria's future, and they deserve our significant investment. Three years ago, my family was forced to flee our home near Damascus, in east Ghouta. Thankfully, we got out before chemical warfare was used there. We stayed in Syria for the next year, moving from one house to another, from one village to another. With each move, we felt no comfort, no safety. When you feel unsafe in a place that is being bombed nearly every day, you eventually must make a choice: Ours was to leave. And with only two packed bags, we did. We went to Jordan. I've thought of returning to Syria. I want to be part of my country's rebuilding, but sadly, I don't expect this to happen any time soon.

+{"article": "Moscow (CNN)The Ukrainian girlfriend of slain Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov faces constant psychological pressure from Moscow authorities and fears she will be implicated in his death, her mother told CNN. Model Anna Duritskaya, 23, was walking with Nemtsov on Friday night when a gunman shot the politician about 100 meters (330 feet) from the Kremlin. \"She was crying and she was saying Boris had been killed and he's lying next to me,\" said her mother, Inna Duritskaya. \"She was in such shock she couldn't say anything else.\" Duritskaya said her daughter was questioned until 2 a.m. Monday. She said she fears authorities will implicate her daughter in the death because they have threatened to take her attorney away from her. The model had been staying at the apartment of an aide to Nemtsov under constant police guard. Late Monday, Yevhen Perebyinis, a spokesman for Ukraine's Foreign Ministry, tweeted that Duritskaya had left Moscow for Kiev. The assassination has spawned a flood of conspiracy theories. Nemtsov was one of President Vladimir Putin's most outspoken critics, and many suspect the Kremlin of either direct or indirect involvement. Inna Duritskaya said her daughter knew the risks of getting involved with the prominent opposition leader. \"Of course when I heard she was dating him it was a bit of a shock,\" she said. \"Then when I met him in person I liked him a lot as a person. He was straightforward, he treated my daughter very well, she was happy. And I couldn't influence it anyway; my daughter did what she wanted to. Of course, I was worried and scared, but I couldn't change it anyway.\" Thousands of Nemtsov supporters gathered Sunday in Moscow to mourn the death of the 55-year-old, who was deputy prime minister during President Boris Yeltsin's administration. The event took place the same day Nemtsov was supposed to lead a rally in Moscow decrying Russia's policies on Ukraine. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Saturday that Nemtsov was about to reveal information that would be damaging to Russian interests, Ukraine's state-run Ukrinform news agency reported. \"A few weeks ago I had a conversation with him on how to build relations between Ukraine and Russia, as we would like them to be,\" Ukrinform quoted Poroshenko as saying. \"Boris said that he was going to make public the strong evidence for participation of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. Someone was very afraid of that. Boris was not afraid, the executioners were afraid. They killed him.\" Putin condemned the killing and ordered three law enforcement agencies to investigate the shooting, the Kremlin said. The President also wrote to Nemtsov's mother, saying he shared her grief, and promised to bring those behind the killing to justice, the Kremlin said. Police said they are looking for a man with short hair who stands between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 9 inches, Russia's Sputnik news agency reported. The shooter was wearing blue jeans and a brown sweater.

Because had they done so, we would have had major catastrophe,\" President Beji Caid Essebsi told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. A third museum attacker remains at large, Essebsi said. Previously two suspects had been identified -- Yassine Labidi and Saber Khachnaou -- though it wasn't immediately clear if they were the pair killed at the museum by Tunisian security forces. Essebsi told Amanpour 15 arrests had been made since Wednesday's attack, in which 23 people were killed. Most of the victims were foreigners and 19 were tourists who'd been on two cruise ships that docked in Tunis. Essebsi said he believed the attackers were members of ISIS who had been trained in Libya. This echoed comments made by Tunisia's Security Minister Rafik Chelly on Friday, who said two attackers had been given weapons training at Libyan camps and had been activated from sleeper cells. In an audio message posted online Thursday, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack. The message said the group had targeted \"crusaders and apostates\" with \"automatic weapons and hand grenades\" in bloodshed that was \"just the start.\" CNN cannot independently verify the legitimacy of the audio statement. An uncle of suspect Yassine Labidi, Abeld Malik Labidi, told CNN on Friday that no one he knew had seen any signs of extremism in his 26-year-old nephew. He said Yassine Labidi was one of the two gunmen killed at the museum. \"It's true that Yassine carried out this terrorist attack, he was killed; his head, his body, we don't have it back,\" he said. But, he said, he believed Yassine and other young Tunisians like him were also victims of terrorism -- of the recruiters who paid them money, organized the logistics and took them to places like Syria and Libya to train as fighters.

Gareth Bale struck a post with an extraordinary shot from close to the halfway line as full time approached while Arduriz almost doubled Bilbao's lead with another headed chance late on. The result means second placed Barca can now take top spot should it win at home to mid-table Rayo Vallecano Sunday. Of more immediate concern to Real boss Carlo Ancelotti after the game, however, was his side's lack of cutting edge. \"I think the problem we are having at the moment is quite clear,\" Ancelotti told reporters. \"We are not finding a way through like we did in the games before. We've only scored one goal, from a penalty, in two games. \"That is the problem we have to fix.

With the second El Classico fixture of the season against Barcelona only a fortnight away, Ancelotti is looking for a quick fix to his side's attacking inhibitions. However, such worries are of little concern to a Bilbao side celebrating its first win over Real in five years. After a slow start to the season the Basques are now up to eighth position. \"We are very proud of how hard we worked,\" goalscorer Arduriz said in comments carried by the AFP news agency. \"The three points will prove a huge boost.\" \"The fans have enjoyed it a lot and they deserved that after the poor performances at San Mames earlier in the season.\" Bayern Munich continued its seemingly inexorable march to a third consecutive Bundesliga title with a come from behind 3-1 victory away to Hannover. Hiroshi Kiyotake gave the hosts a surprise lead after 25 minutes but Xabi Alonso levelled shortly after.

It's become a familiar story: Young people give up their futures in Western democratic nations to join the terrorist network establishing a self-declared Islamic state in the Middle East. Last month, three teenage British girls suspected of wanting to join ISIS may have gone to Syria, authorities said. Their fates remain unknown. An estimated 3,400 Westerners have gone to join ISIS in its bloody quest to establish an Islamist state in Iraq and Syria, said Nicholas Rasmussen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Analysts and U.S. officials agree: ISIS is skilled at luring Westerners, attracting far greater numbers than al Qaeda. How is it doing this? ISIS recruits are often young -- sometimes disillusioned teenagers trying to find purpose and make their mark. \"The general picture provided by foreign fighters of their lives in Syria suggests camaraderie, good morale and purposeful activity, all mixed in with a sense of understated heroism, designed to attract their friends as well as to boost their own self-esteem,\" counterterrorism expert Richard Barrett wrote last year in a report called \"Foreign fighters in Syria.\" Fawaz Gerges, professor of Middle East studies at The London School of Economics, put it more bluntly: . \"ISIS provides these deluded young men and women with an adventurous trip.\" Many recruits come from educated, well-to-do backgrounds, like 25-year-old Abu Anwar of Britain. He said he had no problem leaving a comfortable lifestyle to join ISIS. \"I'm from the south of England. I grew up in a middle-class family,\" he told CNN. \"Life was easy back home. I had a life.

Neither he nor attorney Daryl Parks would say exactly when the suit would be filed, but they said that they disagreed with the grand jury's and the Justice Department's decisions not to charge Wilson in the shooting. \"They have accepted (Wilson's) self-defense,\" Parks told reporters. \"We do not accept his self-defense.\" The slain teen's parents, Michael Brown Sr. and Lesley McSpadden, were in attendance at the news conference but did not speak on advice of their attorneys, Parks said. \"The last 24 hours have been tough for them,\" he said. Word of the lawsuit comes a day after the Justice Department determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge Wilson in Brown's death but found in a separate investigation that the Ferguson Police Department showed a pattern of racial bias. Brown Sr. and McSpadden released a statement Wednesday saying they were disappointed that Wilson would not face charges, but, they added, the federal report on the police department could provide a silver lining. \"We are encouraged that the DOJ will hold the Ferguson Police Department accountable for the pattern of racial bias and profiling they found in their handling of interactions with people of color,\" the statement said. \"It is our hope that through this action, true change will come not only in Ferguson, but around the country. If that change happens, our son's death will not have been in vain.\" In November, a grand jury cleared Wilson and, in an uncharacteristic move in grand jury proceedings, the prosecutor released all the evidence that was considered.

+{"article": "(CNN)The beauty of Afghanistan -- a country blemished by wars, upheaval and the inhumane treatment of women by extremists -- has almost been forgotten by the world, and by many Afghans themselves. In the last few decades, little attention has been paid to the other Afghanistan: the sweet melodies, the kind people, and the beautiful land full of ancient wisdom and intersecting traditions. This is understandable. It would be irresponsible to solely focus on those positives while families are torn apart and the noise of war rings in people's ears. Generations of Afghans have had their homes surrounded by battles and their lives punctuated by fear. Afghanistan has been the largest refugee-producing country for 32 years. One out of every four refugees worldwide is Afghan, according to the United Nations. Recently, I was watching an engrossing reality TV show featuring singers when a friend peered over my shoulder and asked about the program. I explained that it was \"Afghan Star,\" Afghanistan's answer to \"American Idol.\" She was shocked by the set and the sophisticated arena stage where the stars were standing. That stage could easily have been in New York, Los Angeles, London or Rome. This, I realized, is the Afghanistan no one believes exists, or has ever existed. Afghanistan has a rich tradition of music, poetry, and songs that have influenced its neighbors and any region of the world exposed to the Silk Road. After all, the famous Sufi poet Mawlana Jalalideen Rumi was from modern-day Afghanistan. I grew up across the river in Tajikistan, hearing Afghan songs and tales of the parties in Kabul, and learning about Afghan singers, who are beloved across the region. I started watching \"Afghan Star\" last year after hearing about contestant Dawood Pazhman from Afghanistan's remote northeastern province of Badakhshan, who traveled 16 hours (sometime on foot) to Kabul to audition for the show. This year, another contestant, Panj Shanbe Maftoon, also traveled from that remote region for a chance to audition. Panj Shanbe told TOLO TV, which produces \"Afghan Star,\" that he did not have enough to eat and didn't have money for his commute to Kabul. But he knew, he said, that in this day and age, in his new Afghanistan, he can hope, dream, and make things happen. Panj Shanbe's story was so compelling, I have tuned in every week for months now to see what he will sing and whether he will be safe from elimination. He is now among the top three contestants. As I watched every show, the beacon of hope of a new Afghanistan became clear to me. Young men and women auditioned, speaking of peace and coexistence, supporting one another outside of tribes or ethnic lines. They wanted what my own children want -- the freedom to explore being a young adult and to follow their dreams. This is the new Afghanistan -- the struggles around poverty, religion and resilience are ever-present, but hope shines through in ways that make everyday life brighter. \"Afghan Star\" is a source of pride, happiness and escape for many Afghans.

CNN could not independently verify the blog's authenticity, but the biographical details detailed on the blog match Bilardi's. One of the final posts on the blog, which is credited to \"Abu Abdullah al-Australi,\" purports to have been posted on January 13, as the author was \"preparing to sacrifice my life for Islam in Ramadi.\" The Australian government said Wednesday it was working to confirm reports that Bilardi had carried out a suicide attack on behalf of ISIS, after the terror group claimed an \"Abu Abdullah al-Australi\" had been killed in a car bombing during an offensive in the city of Ramadi. The claims were made along with a picture that appeared to be of Bilardi, referred to as \"Abu Abdullah al-Australi,\" apparently prior to carrying out the mission.

Despite this, I was immediately drawn to the topics of al Qaeda and 'Islamic terrorism',\" he wrote. \"It was from here that my research into al Qaeda ... and groups with similar ideologies worldwide began.

But when the CEO of Starbucks announced a plan he hoped would ease racial tensions, the response was immediate outrage! This latest controversy started Monday when Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz unveiled a new initiative in which Starbucks baristas would write the words \"Race Together\" on coffee cups to help spark a dialogue on race. Schultz even took out full-page ads in The New York Times and USA Today touting this effort. Twitter immediately lit up with a flurry of angry tweets -- apparently from people who have consumed far too much caffeine. Surprisingly, though, the backlash came from all sides. One self-described conservative tweeted this: . A person who noted her support of progressive causes in her Twitter profile tweeted: . Even people in the middle expressed scorn with tweets such as: . I, on the other hand, applaud Schultz's efforts, at least in theory. As Schultz correctly stated when discussing the genesis for \"Race Together,\" \"If we just keep going about our business ... and ignoring this (racial issue), then I think we are, in a sense, part of the problem.\" Sure, I also see some logistical problems with the \"get your iced Mocha Frappuccino with a shot of racial tolerance\" approach. First, I live in New York City, where New Yorkers barely have the patience to wait for a cup of plain old coffee to be poured let alone stand in line longer while people engage in a nuanced discourse on race. I can envision awkward situations where the baristas ask a customer, \"So how do you want your coffee?\" to which the customer responds, \"Black.\" For some reason saying \"black\" in the context of this program could feel uncomfortable. Next thing you know, Starbucks will have to coin politically correct terms for \"black\" coffee. And as a practical matter, only 40% of Starbucks employees are minorities. Consequently, in most Starbucks, the conversation about racial tolerance will between be between two white people. But let's put those issues aside. The swift and angry backlash against Schultz's idea proves once again that not only don't we live in a post-racial America, we live in a hyper-racial one. In fact, a recent CNN/ORC poll found 40% of Americans believe racial relations have become worse during the six years Barack Obama has been in the White House. It's strikingly obvious that if we are going to improve this situation, we need to have a candid and brutally honest discussion about the underlying factors contributing to racism, the lack of empathy for people of other races, etc. And that's simply what Starbucks' \"Race Together\" stated goal is: \"to stimulate conversation, compassion and positive action regarding race in America.\" Starbucks' senior vice president of communications, Corey duBrowa, deleted his Twitter account Monday after \"feeling personally attacked in a cascade of negativity\" and being \"overwhelmed by the volume and tenor of the discussion\" in response to \"Race Together.\" But duBrowa was back on Twitter on Tuesday", "summary": "Response mostly negative after Starbucks launches initiative to talk about race relations .

+{"article": "(CNN)With the passing of Leonard Nimoy, fans worldwide mourned the loss of the legendary performer who gave life to the Vulcan first officer on Star Trek. As Spock, Nimoy touched audiences with his commitment to the principles of science and logic, and his embrace of \"infinite diversity in infinite combinations.\" Nimoy's portrayal has inspired generations to pursue careers in space, science and technology, to embrace the uniqueness of others, and to appreciate the same in themselves. It is difficult to measure the impact of Nimoy's iconic role, particularly on the science and technology communities. For decades, many of the best and brightest inventors, explorers and engineers have credited Star Trek with sparking their imaginations. For many, Spock holds a sacred spot as not only one of the most beloved characters in all of science fiction, but the earliest example of Star Trek's enduring legacy of inspiring innovation in the real world. Spock first appeared on our television screens in 1966 with the premiere of the original Star Trek series. Since then, the show has earned a reputation for predicting future technologies with remarkable accuracy. At a time when the computer age was only just beginning and the idea of handheld communication devices or tablet computers were fantasies of a far-off future, Spock could be seen working with many of these technologies aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. As we soon discovered, his incredible tools and gadgets weren't so distant after all. Soon, we moved closer to realizing these devices in our own world with the development of the integrated circuit. Portable and handheld computers were suddenly possible, and some scientists turned to Star Trek for inspiration as they sought to design the next wave of modern marvels. One such scientist was Martin Cooper, inventor of the first mobile phone, who has credited the handheld communicators used by Captain Kirk and Spock as the source of his inspiration. Even though Cooper's original cellular telephone wasn't as compact as Spock's, and most consumers couldn't afford one for some time, it wasn't long before they would become ubiquitous in our world. The same is true for the handheld computers Spock used to record scientific data. About the size of a notepad, and sometimes equipped with a stylus, these handy gadgets would go on to appear in every incarnation of the Star Trek franchise. They are known as PADDs \u2014 Personal Access Display Devices \u2014 and it's hard to ignore their influence on the the real thing. From their design and function to the name of today's most popular tablet computer, Spock may well have been the first iPad user. Another technological wonder that first appeared in Spock's hands was known as the tricorder. This mobile scanning device could be used to take readings while on an away mission to an alien planet. This data might include atmospheric conditions, radiation levels, or even the chemical composition of an object. The version Nimoy used on set was bulky and had to be worn with a shoulder strap. However, tricorders would soon become one of the most versatile and sought-after", "summary": "Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy died Friday, age 83 .

+{"article": "(CNN)Tunisia's tourism industry has been thrown into disarray by a terror attack on Wednesday that left at least 17 foreign visitors dead and prompted urgent warnings over security. Only just recovering from the impact of the Arab Spring uprisings four years ago, Tunisia has once again emerged as a winter sun draw for tens of thousands of travelers. But following Wednesday's attack and siege at the prestigious Bardo Museum in central Tunis, the country's tourism industry is once again facing jeopardy even as authorities and operators scramble to ensure the safety of visitors currently in the country. A significant number of foreign tourists were inside the museum at the time of the attack, which government officials said was the work of \"Islamists.\" Prime Minister Habib Essid said Polish, Italian, German and Spanish tourists are among those killed, with another 20 tourists plus two Tunisians wounded in the attack. MSC Cruises said its ship, MSC Splendida, is currently docked in the Tunis port of La Goulette and some of its passengers had been on tours of the city, including the Bardo at the time of the attack. \"All the tourist coaches on tour were immediately recalled to the port and all other tours on the ground were immediately suspended,\" MSC said in a statement. Another ship, the Costa Fascinosa, docked in Tunis at that time, has a manifest of more than 3,000 passengers, its parent company Costa Cruise said. As details of the incident emerged, several foreign governments put out warnings urging their citizens to stay away from the scene of the attacks, around an area that includes the national parliament building. The U.S. Embassy in Tunis issued an alert that also reiterated standing advice about the potential for violence in Tunisia and the risk of kidnappings. Its warning cautions against trips to Tunisia's central, southern and border regions. Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) also urged UK citizens to stay away from the affected areas of Tunis and to \"follow the instructions of Tunisian security authorities.\" Its warning also carried longstanding advice: \"There is a high threat from terrorism, including kidnapping. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including places visited by foreigners.\" With tens of thousands of foreign visitors likely to be in Tunisia right now and many more contemplating travel there, travel operators have been rushing to formulate a response to the attack. It's not immediately known if flights will be added to accommodate any sudden surge in departures or whether tour operators will pull out of the country -- responses that followed a terror attack in Kenya last year. Thomson and First Choice, a UK-based travel operator that carries thousands of vacationers on package trips to Tunisia, said it had canceled organized excursions to Tunis as a precaution. A statement said it would follow FCO advice, which overall remained unchanged for Tunisia. \"Thomson and First Choice customers stay in beach destinations, not Tunis, and we can confirm that none of our customers or staff were affected by the incident that took place there today,\" it said. \"As a precaution however we have", "summary": "Gunmen killed 17 tourists and two others on Wednesday at a museum in Tunisia's capital .

The ubiquitous coffee shop company was mocked for its decision to have its employees write the words \"race together\" on its coffee cups and start a discussion on race. But what's so bad about that? Shouldn't we commend Starbucks for trying to be good corporate citizen, to walk the talk, as it were? Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced the company's new campaign this week, which he described as \"an opportunity to begin to re-examine how we can create a more empathetic and inclusive society.\" In other words, grab a cup of coffee and let's talk about race. \"We have problems in this country with regard to race and racial inequality,\" Schultz said in a video to corporate employees. \"We believe we're better than this, and we believe the country is better than this. There is a need for compassion, empathy and love towards others.\" And he has indicated that the new move is not mandatory for its employees. This is what Schultz calls \"conscious capitalism.\" It is an example of businesses who want to serve the community, get ahead of the curve rather than pander to what they think customers want, and show that they care about something other than getting paid. theGrio.com: Creflo Dollar is further proof that prosperity gospel is full of 'false profits' Of course, we would be foolish to think that Starbucks or any company would engage in such a strategy separate and apart from a profit motive. After all, the company, like any other money making enterprise, wants to make more money. And capitalism is all about making money. And yet, there are different pathways to getting there, and maybe Starbucks is showing us a new way. Perhaps you think that their approach is corny, and yes, the company has faced a lot of attacks online for their stance. But the attacks are distracting us from a very important problem, one which many people would rather not discuss, with or without their coffee. Clearly some people do want to talk about race, and there is a desperate need to confront the issue head on. What we are witnessing as a society is a new movement led by black women and spurred by the killing of black people such as Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, Renisha McBride and Eric Garner, John Crawford and Tamir Rice, and many more, whether by police or by armed vigilantes. theGrio.com: Blacks are treated 72 percent as well as whites . People of all colors and persuasions have participated in #BlackLivesMatter, #ICantBreathe and #HandsUpDontShoot protests and die-ins across the nation. Race is part of the town hall, the public square. It always has been, but what is different now is that the issue is once again being placed on the front burner.

+{"article": "(CNN)After spending much of her 2008 campaign seemingly running away from the fact that she is a woman, Hillary Clinton is showing signs that 2016 is going to be a different story. It seems that Hillary has found her outer woman, which is to say, she's found the person that she wants to present on the campaign trail, and that person is resolutely female. This time she seems to have decided to fully embrace her womanhood as an asset in her quest for the White House and to trust that the voters will do the same. Of course, Hillary hasn't officially announced that she will be running for president -- and Universal Studios has not officially announced that there will be a sequel to the blockbuster \"50 Shades of Grey.\" But it's hard to imagine 2016 happening without both of those things, seeing as how they both have such excellent prospects of success. Hillary recently spoke at a Silicon Valley conference for women in the tech field with the theme of \"Lead On.\" That lent itself nicely to the professional goals of the members of the audience as well as to Hillary's own leadership goals. She spoke of the dearth of women not only in the tech field, but in the ranks of Fortune 500 CEO's. In fact, one recent diversity study found that the major S&P 1500 company boards had more men with the name John, Robert, William, or James on them than women of any name combined. Left unsaid in her speech was any reference to the complete lack of a female occupant of the Oval Office thus far, but the thought could not have been far from anyone's mind, let alone Hillary's. Clinton was comfortable talking at length about her own experiences being pregnant and giving birth while working as a partner in a law firm, and using that as a launching pad to discuss the importance of women in the workforce both here and around the world. And from there she highlighted her own work on behalf of the women of the world as secretary of state. She segued into the discussion of the plight of working middle-class families that will be so central to the 2016 race, and the centrality of women's economic issues to those struggles of the middle-class. From there it was a natural progression to talking about 21st century families and the importance of things such as paid leave. And all of that dovetailed perfectly into closing remarks about the future that revolved naturally around the birth in September of Clinton's first grandchild, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky. That brought up Hillary's new role as a grandmother, and the perspective it has given her on the future and what needs to be done to guarantee that it's the best possible future. The Silicon Valley address could serve as a template for how Clinton intends to approach her career goals from the vantage point of being a woman seeking her own place in the workforce.

+{"article": "(CNN)The University of North Carolina will pay whistleblower Mary Willingham $335,000 to settle her lawsuit with the university, following the largest academic fraud scandal in NCAA history. Willingham is the former athletics literacy counselor who blew the whistle about the fake classes that went on for nearly 20 years at the prestigious university. Willingham spent years fielding attacks from university officials -- including accusations that she was lying when she said that officials within the athletic department steered underprepared athletes into the fake classes to keep them eligible. For nearly five years, UNC denied those claims, but Willingham refused to keep quiet. She first told her story to the News & Observer in Raleigh, and then to national media when the university refused to admit that the classes were well-known to faculty. The added attention forced UNC to hire a new investigator and launch a new probe in 2014. That latest review, led by Ken Wainstein, a 19-year veteran of the U.S. Justice Department, found exactly what Willingham had always claimed -- widespread and systematic cheating. Willingham left her job last spring after complaining that she was being retaliated against. \"The University's settlement with Mrs. Willingham resolves all of the outstanding legal issues in the case,\" said Rick White, associate vice chancellor of communications and public affairs. \"We appreciate the efforts of the mediator to help us achieve a successful and timely conclusion to the mediation. We believe the settlement is in the best interest of the University and allows us to move forward and fully focus on other important issues.\" When she sued, Willingham said she hoped to accomplish what no other investigation has done -- to subpoena documents and to depose university officials under oath. Her lawsuit never got that far. Instead, she says she's hoping that will be accomplished by a larger class-action lawsuit filed by powerhouse attorney Michael Hausfeld on behalf of two former UNC athletes. Devon Ramsay and Rashanda McCants both sued in January, saying they were promised an education but didn't get one because of the paper class scandal. Hausfeld is the attorney who beat the NCAA last summer in federal court on behalf of former UCLA player Ed O'Bannon, winning a case that will forever change college sports by forcing the NCAA to eliminate the rule that forbids schools from paying players. That lawsuit is the reason Willingham says she was OK with entering into mediation in her whistleblower suit. She shared the settlement document with CNN. \"It's about the students and not about me. I don't need it to be about me,\" Willingham said. \"I got an education, but those students left without one, and we still have a system that doesn't work. And so I'm hopeful that (the Hausfeld lawsuit) will move forward and prove that (NCAA Division I) schools all across the country have a flawed system where a promise of an education isn't happening, and therefore these students are getting nothing.\" Willingham is co-founder of Paper Class Inc., which serves as a portal and rallying point for the college sports reform", "summary": "Mary Willingham accused UNC of holding fake classes that helped athletes stay in school .

+{"article": "(CNN)Blue Bell ice cream has added another product to the list of items it's recalling over potential contamination with listeria. The company said Monday that it's recalling 3 oz. institutional/food service cups of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream after a test detected listeria in one of the cups recovered from a Kansas hospital. There have been no illnesses reported from the cups, Blue Bell said. The contaminated cup was produced at a plant in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, in April 2014, the company said. Earlier this month the company recalled a group of products that were made at a plant in Texas as Kansas health officials said three people had died in the past year from a listeria outbreak that could be linked to Blue Bell Creameries products. A total of five people have contracted the serious infection in Kansas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All five of them were hospitalized at the same hospital before developing listeriosis, the CDC said. At least four of them had eaten 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. We are deeply saddened and concerned for all those who have been affected.\" Listeriosis, a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with listeria, primarily affects the elderly, pregnant women, newborns and people with weakened immune systems, according to the CDC. Symptoms of a listeria infection are fever and muscle aches, sometimes associated with diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, according to the CDC. In the United States, an estimated 1,600 people become seriously ill each year; approximately 16% of these illnesses result in death. Cervical infections caused by listeriosis in pregnant women may result in spontaneous abortion during the second or third trimesters or stillbirth. The CDC advises that individuals and institutions should check their freezers for the recalled products and throw them away. In a statement on its website, Blue Bell said \"this recall in no way includes Blue Bell ice cream half gallons, pints, quarts, 3 gallons or other 3 oz. cups.\" This is the first product recall in the 108-year history of Blue Bell Creameries, the company said.

+{"article": "(CNN)As expected, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a rousing speech to Congress, rich in historic imagery and replete with literary references. Yet a speech filled with powerful words is no substitute for a strategy for actually preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. As national security adviser Susan Rice told the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC on Monday, \"Precisely because this is such a serious issue, we must weigh the different options before us and choose the best one. Sound bites won't stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.\" The Obama administration, on the other hand, is making a strong and credible case that the deal it is pursuing would block Iran's pathways to developing the fissile material necessary for a bomb and extend the time for Iran to produce enough weapons-grade uranium to build a bomb from today's estimated three months to at least a year. Without a deal, Iran would revert to building up its stockpile of nuclear uranium, while the international community would lose the ability to monitor and track Iran's activities. At the top of the list of questions the Prime Minister failed to address is how such a scenario in the wake of \"no deal\" would actually make Israel safer? As Rice said: \"Here's what's likely to happen without a deal. Iran will install and operate advanced centrifuges. Iran will seek to fuel its (plutonium) reactor in Arak. Iran will rebuild its uranium stockpile. And, we'll lose the unprecedented inspections and transparency we have today.\" If no deal that the United States and five other powers actually might strike with the Iranians would be acceptable to Netanyahu, how does he propose to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat? He spoke about ratcheting up international sanctions against Iran and keeping them in place until Iran ceased regional aggression, sponsorship of terrorism and threatens to annihilate Israel. But years of extraordinarily tough sanctions did not persuade the Iranians to abandon their nuclear program or prevent them moving it forward. Neither did cyberwarfare or a series of assassinations of Iranian scientists. And if the United States was seen as walking away from a possible agreement, the international sanctions regime would likely crumble, not strengthen. Iranian hard-liners who oppose an agreement would be back in the driver's seat in Tehran, while those would want to see Iran rejoin the international community would be discredited and sidelined. It is doubtful that Netanyahu really believes sanctions would end the Iranian nuclear program. That leaves one other option -- military force. Of course, Israel could order a military strike on Iran any time it chooses, but Israel's ability to inflict significant damage on Iran's widely dispersed and heavily defended nuclear facilities is limited. When the discussion turns to military action, what is really meant is U.S. military action. It is understandable that a foreign leader speaking in the U.S. Congress would shy away from openly asking Washington to attack another country, especially after the experience of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which Netanyahu also lobbied for.

How could a young person -- who was a close friend of the deceased, Conrad Roy, 18 -- allegedly do such a horrifying thing? And what are the legal ramifications of what a teen says online or in a text? But a lesser discussed point this tragic story raises is how quickly a teen can go from normal everyday life to facing severe, life-altering legal consequences. That is why Lisa Green, author of the informative new book \"On Your Case: A Compassionate (and Only Slightly Bossy) Legal Guide for Every Stage of a Woman's Life,\" believes every parent of a teen should have a criminal defense lawyer in mind and at the ready -- just in case. \"To me this is the unrecognized area that parents, particularly parents of teens, miss all the time,\" said Green during a recent interview at CNN's studios. \"So many of our friends have armies of tutors, extracurricular activities, all sorts of angles covered ... but when it comes to the law, there's this black hole.\" Mom arrested for leaving 9-year-old alone at park . Green, a journalist, lawyer and television legal analyst, says people often think of the law as scary and intimidating and believe they don't need to worry about it because their kid is never going to get into legal trouble. Whether it's a case as serious as Carter's involuntary manslaughter charge, or a simple allegation of vandalism, parents need to be prepared, Green said. \"I cannot count the number of kids I know, good kids, who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time,\" said Green. \"I have now two young adults, and when they were going through their teenage years, it was a simple matter of a party that went wrong, a group of kids in the park when the police stop by and have some questions, bringing something to school they shouldn't have. \"And in each of those cases, a little bit of knowledge of the law, a little bit of knowledge of what their rights are, the right way to behave, would have saved parents a heck of a lot of grief.\" Green thinks parents should think about the issue in the same way they would track down a good orthopedist if their child breaks a bone, or the best tutor if their child is struggling before the SAT.

Joanna Leigh claims the indictment is retribution for her vocal criticism of the way One Fund Boston disbursed the funds. Authorities say Leigh, 41, collected almost $40,000 from One Fund and other sources after claiming to have suffered a brain injury during the attack. They say she received $8,000 payment from One Fund Boston, which was set up to compensate bombing victims. She's also accused of receiving $1,700 from a school fundraiser, collecting more than $9,000 in contributions from an online fundraiser and getting more than $18,000 in benefits from the Massachusetts Victims for Violent Crime compensation fund. The indictment says she also accepted free medical treatment. No one is contesting that Leigh was at the marathon on April 15, 2013, the day of the attack. But Boston Police and Suffolk County investigators say she wasn't hurt. She apparently did not claim any injury or seek any medical treatment until about two weeks later. \"When she did begin to make those claims, she billed herself as a 'hero' who ran toward the second blast,\" authorities said.

Ashya King, 5, had proton beam therapy and appears to have had no cancer for months, Jonathan Hartley said. Is proton therapy the 'magic bullet' for cancer? The family is in Spain. Ashya's parents, Brett and Naghmeh King, are afraid to return to the United Kingdom for fear of arrest, though they are in talks to return, Hartley said. Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said in September that it would not arrest the parents. That announcement came after they were arrested in Spain while authorities decided whether to charge them and extradite them to Britain. The Kings had serious concerns about the medical treatment that Ashya was receiving at University Hospital Southampton. So they defied doctors' orders and took him out. Dr. Hernan Cortes Funes, who's overseeing Ashya's treatment, agrees with the assessment that Ashya is cancer-free, he told CNN on Monday. Still, there is a high chance of recurrence, he said. Funes gave CNN details: . In August, Ashya had surgery in Britain to remove the tumor. The kind of tumor Ashya had is very aggressive and can often relapse in the brain or the spinal cord. The standard treatment is radiotherapy in the brain and spinal cord, which can cause serious side effects or even death. Ashya's parents wanted to instead do a new proton therapy, which is conducted by only a few sites in Europe. One is in the Czech Republic. Since Ashya was born in Marbella, southern Spain, his family contacted a hospital there and then took Ashya to have proton therapy in Prague in September. The next month, the boy began rehabilitation in Marbella. Initially after the proton therapy, Ashya was mute and had no movement. But after three months of intensive treatment, he can walk generally unaided. He has also been swimming and playing with toys, Funes said. His family comes to see him every day. Ashya has difficulty speaking but continues to improve. He can say a few words, and he can give simple answers when asked questions such as whether he is hungry. Medical officials in Madrid will make a molecular profile of the tumor that was removed to help identify the risk of relapse. Doctors have requested a sample from Southampton.

In a meeting recorded by the advocacy group, he claimed his plans for a safari vacation were ruined when he was detained at the airport and sent back first to Amsterdam and then to Dover, England, where he was subjected to several interrogations by British security officials. He said they accused him of traveling to Tanzania so he could link up with the terrorist group Al-Shabaab in neighboring Somalia and revealed they had been listening in on his phone conversations even before he made the trip. Emwazi said that during the questioning he denied any connection to extremism and stated that innocent people had been killed in the 2005 London transport system terrorist attacks and that the 9/11 terror attacks in the United States were wrong.

A December 2011 court document pertaining to CE's case named Emwazi as part of his extremist network. According to the document, British Home Secretary Theresa May \"maintained she has reasonable grounds for suspicion that since his return to the United Kingdom in February 2007, CE has continued to associate regularly with members of a network of United Kingdom and East African-based Islamist extremists which is involved in the provision of funds and equipment to Somalia for terrorism-related purposes and the facilitation of individuals' travel from the United Kingdom to Somalia to undertake terrorism-related activity.

It allows workers to retire in their 50s, and pays double pensions when they do. It lied about its budget to get into the eurozone.

If you believe Greece has caused the crisis in Europe because of its fiscal irresponsibility, then you are safely in the mainstream opinion about the matter.

Far from prospering, Spain is doing terribly. Spain's unemployment rate is 23.7%, down from a high of almost 27% in 2013. More than a fifth of its workers have been jobless for the last four years. More than half of its young people are out of work and have been for years. There is regularly talk of a lost generation in Spain and Greece. Like Greece, Spain's investment bubble burst when the financial crisis hit and it had to seek a bailout (although a much smaller one) to prevent its domestic banks from collapsing. Spain's economy also shrank during the crisis and its debt to GDP ratio has shot up dramatically. If Greece and Spain have such wildly different approaches to fiscal prudence, what can explain the crisis they both find themselves in? The answer is not fiscal virtue. Something else is going on. That something else, in large part, is the euro. Joining the eurozone meant Spain and Greece gave up the power to create money, the power to devalue their currency to restore competitiveness, and the power to set interest rates. These are not trivial concessions, especially in a currency union like the euro where transfers between rich and poor sectors of the economy are limited, strict budget rules deny individual countries the flexibility to react to a crisis, and trade between euro-area nations is severely imbalanced. The inability to set interest rates in line with the economic conditions meant that in the early 2000s, Spain and Greece couldn't raise interest rates to cool their over-heating economies. The over-heating was largely caused, by the way, by the frenzied (and ultimately reckless) lending in both countries by German and other core European banks. The European Central Bank set interest rates in line with economic conditions in Germany and France that proved too low for Spain and Greece (and Ireland).

The photographic paper was left over from printing Mao's portraits,\" Wang told CNN. Five decades later, Wang, 61, is one of the country's top photojournalists. His work is a rich chronicle of China's fast-changing society. \"Still images are fragments, sections and points that connect the history,\" Wang says. \"The whole process of China's reform over the past four decades -- whether going forward or stalling -- I've been determined to and have managed to document it all.\" One of his most famous series of photographs tracks China's relationship with the bicycle -- once a family's most precious asset but now fast vanishing from the streets. Photography was an outlet for Wang during the dark days of the Cultural Revolution, when China was convulsed by violent class struggle. His family were labeled \"capitalist roaders\" and unlike most other kids, he couldn't join the red guards. Despondent, 14-year-old Wang wandered around Beijing with friends in similar situations, snapping pictures and portraits to distract himself. Taking photos turned into more than a pastime in January 1976, when Premier Zhou Enlai died - beloved by many for his role in tempering the worst of Mao's excesses. Wang went to Tiananmen Square with his camera, capturing the unprompted outpouring of grief, both then, and again in April that year. \"I was in deep grief,\" Wang said, \"And I felt I should record the collective grief.\" He kept the film secret from the military, which then employed him as a photographer, transferring it to friends. The photos were published in the early 1980s. From then on, Wang saw that his camera was much more than a memory keeper. \"I didn't get photojournalism until then,\" he said. \"My biggest regret was not to capture anything meaningful during the Cultural Revolution period; it would've been a precious record.\" In the decades following, Wang has photographed not only major events -- from Tangshan Earthquake in 1976 and the overthrow of the Gang of Four, to the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 -- but also intimate moments captured in China's changing countryside and growing cities. From April 3, Wang will have the first overseas exhibition of his work in the United States at the University of Iowa. Curator Judy Polumbaum -- a Chinese media scholar and former colleague of Wang -- said his work is a great window to examine contemporary China. \"It reflects not only the many changes in Chinese society emerging over the past several decades but also the endurance of tradition, and the often striking and sometimes amusing clashes between tradition and change,\" she said.

Mention The Stomp in a diner or bar in Kentucky and you best be prepared for a string of expletives -- from the blue-haired elders to the wealthiest thoroughbred trainers -- about how Laettner is the vilest human on Earth. Then, the woulda, coulda, shouldas begin: Laettner should've been kicked out; he should never have been in the game to hit that miraculous shot; Kentucky should've advanced to the Final Four. The Stomp returned to headlines this week after ESPN aired a \"30 for 30\" documentary called \"I Hate Christian Laettner,\" detailing the life of one of the best players to ever play college ball and why he remains a lightning rod to this day.

At the end of his 23-second message, Timberlake's voice turns into a smooth baritone and he ends with: \"Go Big Blue.\" Timberlake doesn't dwell on The Stomp. The thing he prefers to remember from that game was the honor of playing in it -- and the locker room speech by Coach Rick Pitino after the game. Pitino held up an old Sports Illustrated cover that said the Kentucky program was in shambles. Pitino told his players that although they lost on the court, his players had done something much bigger: They'd put Kentucky basketball back on the map. \"It put a lot of things in perspective, especially for a young team in a program that had just returned from heavy NCAA sanctions,\" Timberlake says. \"All I remember is working with our heads down, attacking every practice and every game to the best of our ability. And that speech just reminded us of what was accomplished through that hard work, even in a loss.\" That is a message, he says, that still resonates in his life: \"Sometimes you don't see the full picture and don't reap the immediate rewards of your work, but 9 times out of 10 good things do happen.\" Timberlake has had fun with The Stomp over the years, even donning a \"I Still Hate Laettner\" T-shirt that was given to him and posing with fans when Kentucky and Duke played a", "summary": "Christian Laettner apologizes 23 years later for stomping on player .

Jeffrey Williams, 20, has been charged with two counts of first-degree assault, a count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal activity. Police have said he admitted to firing the shots that struck the officers. But Williams' lawyer says he has little confidence in such statements. \"He's scared. You know, this has been pretty traumatic for him,\" attorney Jerryl Christmas said about his client on Monday. \"One thing that is clear is that he has a large amount of bruising on his body that I noticed that I'm very concerned about.

And he was in a lot of pain when he was being questioned,\" Christmas said. \"They used a lot of force on him.\" Opinion: Why would you want to be a cop?

The prosecutor thanked the public for the information that led to the arrest. He said police served a search warrant on Williams' residence where they seized a .40-caliber handgun, \"which has been tied to the shell casings that were recovered\" at the scene of the shooting. One element of the case that authorities have yet to sort out is intent, McCulloch said, adding that Williams has acknowledged firing the shots but has said he wasn't aiming at the police officers.

+{"article": "Sanaa, Yemen (CNN)A coalition of Middle Eastern forces continued pounding rebel targets in Yemen from the air on Friday, the second day of a campaign aimed at the Houthi group. While it was hard to immediately determine the extent of the damage and destruction, the resounding sounds of huge explosions heard around Sanaa on Friday night suggested that the Saudi-led strikes were taking a toll. The strikes' target is Houthi rebels, a Shiite Muslim minority group that has taken over the capital and, on Wednesday, captured key parts of the Yemeni port city of Aden. Aden was where President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi had moved because of the rebel advance. Hadi has since left Yemen, and on Friday he'd arrived in Egypt for a summit of Arab League representatives. Many nations in the Arab League are now participating in the armed effort against the Houthis and presumably to return Hadi to Yemen as its leader. While he's not in Yemen, the fierce fighting there continues. Not surprisingly, the Houthis are bearing the brunt of the bloodshed -- and not just in Sanaa. That includes at least 10 killed in the northwestern province of Saada, home to the Houthi's leader Abdul Malik Al Houthi, Houthi commanders said. More than a dozen more people were wounded, as 15 locations saw airstrikes. Five Houthis died were hurt in an attack by fighters loyal to Hadi on a Houthi post about 6 miles (10 kilometers) outside Al Anad airbase, two security officials in Lahj province said. That's where U.S. Special Operations Forces involved in fighting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula had been based as recently as this month. Hadi has also ordered the closure of all Houthi-controlled media -- including Yemen TV and Saba TV. The Houthis, though, responded by raiding two TV channels and the prominent Al Masdar newspaper. Al Jazeera's office in Sanaa was also targeted, with Houthis looting security cameras and damaging equipment, the Qatar-based network said. The nations stepping into Yemen's civil war are predominantly Sunni Muslim, and they are working to rescue a government that has strong Sunni support. The Houthis are allied with majority Shiite Iran. Saudi Arabia, the largest contingent in the intervention dubbed al-Hazm Storm, considers the Houthis to be proxies for the Shiite government of Iran and fear another Shiite-dominated state in the region. \"What they do not want is an Iranian-run state on their southern border,\" CNN military analyst Lt. Col. Rick Francona said of the Saudis. The kingdom says Hadi, who is out of the country, pleaded for military intervention in a letter. \"I ask you, based on the principle of self-defense in Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, and on the basis of the Charter of the Arab League and the treaty of joint Arab defense, to provide instant support by all necessary means, including military intervention to protect Yemen and its people from continuous Houthi aggression,\" read the letter, which was posted by Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry.

Downey recently presented a robotic arm to young Alex Pring, a Central Florida boy who is missing his right arm from just above his elbow. The arm was made by Limbitless Solutions, a volunteer group started by Albert Manero, a University of Central Florida engineering PhD student, to make free bionic arms for kids. Through 3-D printing technology, Alex and others have had the chance to get a robotic arm so they can use their limbs again. Alex received his robotic arm in the summer, then later had it upgraded to resemble a \"Transformers\" arm. This past Saturday, Alex received an even more impressive gift, from \"Tony Stark\" himself. Downey met with Alex in an Atlanta hotel room. The actor showed the child two arms, one from Downey's movies and one for Alex: a real, working robotic Iron Man arm. As they both tried theirs on, they compared the lights inside their palms. The video was posted Thursday by Downey as well as Microsoft, which arranged the meeting as part of its social media campaign, The Collective Project, celebrating students using technology to change the world. It very quickly went viral on social media. Alex is 7, in first grade and a huge superhero fan. His mom told him they were going to Atlanta to meet Manero and a specialist who were working on a new arm for the boy. \"He didn't question it much, so we kind of just went with it,\" his mom, Alyson Pring, told CNN. \"Afterward, I asked, 'Why were you so quiet?' He said, 'I was freaking out!' \" After giving him the new arm, Downey invited Alex to hang out with him in Atlanta this summer when he's filming the new Captain America movie. Manero met Alex through E-Nable, a volunteer network that matches people who have 3-D printers with children who need limbs. Alex's mom wanted to get him a replacement hand because he was being teased. \"Whenever people saw him, they'd say, 'What's wrong with your arm?' \" Alyson Pring said. \"Now it's, 'Your arm is amazing, you're so cool ... it helps educate people to maybe think twice before saying something like, 'Why are you like that'?\" The prop master for the Marvel movies built the case for Downey Jr.'s arm and the case for the little boy's arm.

As Tunisia gets back on its feet, the investigation into Wednesday's shooting at the Tunis landmark continues. Most of the 23 victims were foreigners, making the process of identification more complicated. Nineteen of them were tourists who'd been on two cruise ships that docked in Tunis. French, Spanish, Italian, British, Japanese, Russian and Colombian citizens are among those to have been formally identified so far. The bodies of the Italians were met in Rome by Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who paid his respects to the victims and their families in a brief ceremony. Eleven people who were injured in the attack remained in the hospital in Tunisia on Saturday, the official at the Tunis Crisis Center said. Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid identified two suspects in the attack, Yassine Labidi and Saber Khachnaou, in an interview with French radio station RTL on Thursday, though it wasn't immediately clear if they were the pair killed at the museum by Tunisian security forces. He said Yassine was \"known to the security services, he was flagged and monitored,\" but not known or being followed for anything special. Authorities have arrested nine people in connection with the attack, including four directly linked to it, according to a statement from Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi. An uncle of Yassine Labidi, Abeld Malik Labidi, told CNN on Friday that no one he knew had seen any signs of extremism in his 26-year-old nephew. But he said Yassine Labidi was one of the two gunmen killed at the museum. \"It's true that Yassine carried out this terrorist attack, he was killed; his head, his body, we don't have it back,\" he said.

It was first posted by photographer Jason Ward on Monday and credited to Martin Le-May. After #WeaselPecker gained momentum, British media soon picked up the story, and television channel ITV interviewed Le-May. The amateur photographer from Essex, near London, told the broadcaster he had been walking with his wife in Hornchurch Country Park, Essex, when they heard \"a distressed squawking\" noise and spotted the woodpecker. \"Just after I switched from my binoculars to my camera the bird flew across us and slightly in our direction; suddenly it was obvious it had a small mammal on its back and this was a struggle for life,\" Le-May said. Eventually, Le-May told ITV, the weasel -- known as a \"least weasel\" in some countries -- lost its grip and the bird flew away. Marina Pacheco, chief executive of Britain's Mammal Society told CNN the image looked genuine and that it was possible an omnivorous weasel would take on a woodpecker. \"Weasels will go for anything that looks like food -- they've got a high metabolism and they've got to eat a lot,\" she said. \"It doesn't surprise me that a weasel took a punt -- I've seen a photo of a weasel charging a group of sparrows, they're very hungry animals.\" But she said the weasel, which would generally try to break the neck of its prey to subdue it, may have exceeded its abilities in this case. \"I think it was a bit of a long shot -- it looks like it tried to grab the neck of the woodpecker to break it,\" Pacheco said. \"I think that it probably doesn't have a big enough jaw to bite through the spine of the woodpecker.\" Weasels would not normally target green woodpeckers, Pacheco said -- their predators are normally the size of a stoat or larger. But the birds are known to spend a fair amount of time on the ground pulling up worms and hunting insects. \"If the woodpecker had managed to hit the weasel with its beak it would have been the end of the weasel,\" she said. \"They're quite gung-ho little creatures.\" The pluckiness of the weasel spawned a number of parodies on Twitter, with manipulated images showing the creature in turn being ridden by Russian President Vladimir Putin, popstar Miley Cyrus, football star John Terry -- and even what appears to be a dog red panda dressed in a Darth Vader costume.

But he and other experts cautioned that it's still unclear what could have been going on inside the cockpit. Possibilities range from a medical emergency to something more nefarious, like a suicide mission, CNN aviation analysts said. Officials previously said that hadn't ruled out terrorism, but it seems unlikely. French authorities revealed earlier Wednesday that they'd been able to access audio from the recorder, even though its external casing was damaged. But they disclosed few details about what the recording actually contained, saying only that there was one audio channel with voices on it that went all the way up to the time of the crash. \"It is too early to draw conclusions to what happened,\" said Remi Jouty, head of the BEA, the French aviation investigative arm leading the probe. \"There is going to be detailed work performed on that audio file to understand and interpret the sounds and the voices that can be heard.\" Finding the plane's second black box will also be critical to understanding the mystery of what went on inside the jet.

He's 41, has an extensive criminal record and served time in prison, according to online inmates records. He's on probation. Giroux used to have tattoos indicating white supremacist beliefs on his face but apparently had them removed, according to photos. One thing investigators don't know: What caused Giroux to allegedly go on a deadly rampage. On Thursday morning, Giroux made his first court appearance. He faces multiple charges, including murder, armed robbery with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, aggravated assault and burglary. The prosecutor requested $2 million bond and the judge imposed it. Grioux has been sent to prison twice for felonies, including an attempt to commit aggravated assault. He was sentenced to seven years and six months behind bars in July 2007, but was released in October 2013, according to online inmate records. His probation runs through October 2016. He also had a run-in with authorities in Santa Monica, California. He allegedly committed assault with a knife in the early morning hours of March 26, 2006, and was detained by witnesses, said Santa Monica Police spokesman Sgt. Rudy Camarena. Giroux was arrested on accusations of attempted murder and parole violation, but police records weren't immediately clear on how the case was resolved, Camarena said Thursday. Police are looking for a motive in the first shooting on Wednesday, but say the other violence happened as the suspect tried to rob people and get away from authorities. The first shots were fired after the suspect got into an argument at the Tri-City Inn with three people that he likely knew, according to Det. Esteban Flores of the Mesa police. One man shot at the Tri-City Inn died, Flores said. Police identified him as David James Williams, 29, reported CNN affiliate KNXV. The motel is across the street from the East Valley Institute of Technology. According to a police press release, the suspect next shot a man during a carjacking at a nearby restaurant and drove away in a stolen Honda Accord. Grioux tried to carjack another vehicle but failed, police said, and crossed the street to break into an apartment, where he shot and tried to rob a fifth person. He went to another apartment complex and shot a sixth person, police said, before fleeing to a condominium complex. Flores said Mesa's SWAT team found Grioux in a vacant second-floor condo. Police used a Taser stun gun to subdue him. Police said one man is in critical condition at a hospital, KNXV reported.

+{"article": "(CNN)On October 24, 1944, U.S. warplanes swarmed at the Leviathan of battleships, Japan's Musashi, splashing down torpedoes or dive bombing it. It took them four hours and more than 25 direct hits to put one of the two largest war ships in World War II to the bottom of the Philippines' Sibuyan Sea. This month, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and a team of researchers found a sprawling undersea wreck after an eight-year search for the Musashi. Japanese maritime expert Kazushige Todaka is 90% sure they found the right ship after the first images were published earlier in March. And that's a breakthrough. \"I have heard countless stories in the past that the ship was discovered, but they all turned out not to be true,\" Todaka said. Unfortunately, Japanese war ships did not bear their names on their sides, so a full identification takes a while. But the wreckage matched the ship's description, and it had a mount for the Imperial Japanese Navy seal, a chrysanthemum which was made out of teak and rotted away in the ship's 70 years in the sea. On Thursday, Paul Allen's team treated the world to a live tour from the wreck at nearly 4,000 feet under the waves. An unmanned vehicle's spotlights lit up the pitch darkness, revealing crisp high definition images of massive rusted iron in crystal clear turquoise water. The live tour began with one of the Musashi's many death blows -- a warped bow. \"What we see here is torpedo damage,\" said Robert Kraft, the expedition's leader. Torpedoes usually punctured the hull and exploded inside the ship, belling the metal outward. The remote operated vehicle puttered past more fatal damage, as Kraft and his team described it. A big dent pushing inward, he explained, was likely from a torpedo that barely missed the ship, exploding outside the hull, pushing it in. \"It's the concussive force next to the ship,\" he said. The submersible showed multiple hits right under the Musashi's main gun, perhaps the most powerful naval cannon at that time. It weighed 270 tons, and gunners had to duck into a blast shelter before firing it to keep from getting killed. While in the Musashi's death throes, the gun discharged one time before everyone took cover and blew sailors off the ship's deck, Allen's researchers said. It was one of three such guns followed by rows of other guns. The Musashi was the most heavily armed ship of its time, the researchers said. But the giant had an Achilles heel. It was very vulnerable to torpedoes. The ship caught fire; it lost most of its propeller power and began to flail. U.S. warplanes went in for the kill. \"No defenses would have saved her,\" an expedition member commented, as the submersible drifted past one gun turret or gun mount after the next. As the Musashi sank, parts of it, where air was trapped imploded. The wreck landed in pieces on the sea floor with some 1,000 crew members. About 1,300 more were rescued by other Japanese ships, including the executive officer. The", "summary": "Japan's giant battleship Musashi was sunk off the Philippines in World War II .

A video of a racist chant by the university's now-disbanded Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity made headlines nationwide this week. It shows students on a bus clapping, pumping their fists and laughing as they chant, \"There will never be a ni**** SAE. You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me. There will never be a ni**** SAE.\" In announcing the new position Wednesday night, university President David Boren said he decided to make the hire two months ago -- before the video came to light -- and is in talks with an African-American candidate. The school newspaper and a student organization publicized the nine-second video clip after receiving it via anonymous messages. Shortly after it surfaced, the university cut ties with Sigma Alpha Epsilon, as did the national fraternity. Two students spotted in the video, Parker Rice and Levi Pettit, have been expelled for their alleged leadership role in the chant. \"I am deeply sorry for what I did Saturday night. It was wrong and reckless,\" Rice said Tuesday in a statement to The Dallas Morning News. \"I made a horrible mistake by joining into the singing and encouraging others to do the same.\" A statement from Pettit's parents said their son made a horrible mistake and apologized to African-Americans, students and university faculty. \"He is a good boy, but what we saw in those videos is disgusting. While it may be difficult for those who only know Levi from the video to understand, we know his heart, and he is not a racist,\" Brody and Susan Pettit said. CNN has reached out to both students. A spokesman for the Pettit family confirmed that Levi Pettit was in the video but declined CNN's request for an interview. Boren has ordered a shutdown of the fraternity house in Norman, and said it was no longer affiliated with the university. \"Livid, just extremely heartbroken,\" Jay Vinekar, a founder of the university's SAE chapter, told CNN affiliate KTRK . \"I don't want it in my house, and I don't want those people to wear my letters, claiming to represent me.

Anti-racism organization Kick It Out (KIO) says there's been a 35% rise in fans reporting abusive behavior committed by other fans -- and that's largely due to a new phone app. \"The app has had a massive impact,\" KIO media and communications manager Richard Bates told CNN, noting that it accounted for 27% of all complaints. \"Self-policing is so important when it comes to stamping out racism in football. People are confident that their complaints will be taken seriously.\" The 184 reported incidents recorded during the last five months of 2014 covered racial and religious discrimination, as well as sexual orientation, gender and disability offenses. The increase was measured against the same period the year before. KIO's mobile phone application, which was released in 2013, encourages fans to report incidents anonymously by pressing a \"Report It!\" tab and entering the name of the football ground, positioning of the offender, and incident details. Although contact details of the person reporting the incident are requested, KIO emphasized that the anonymity of the tool is key. Every single objection logged by fans, either on the phone, via email, or on the app, triggers an investigation by the English Football Association (FA). These include 73 incidents on social media (a 24% increase), which have so far led to 21 instances of the offender being identified, and at times having their accounts deleted. The FA, which released its own witness complaint guidelines in 2013, encouraged fans to be proactive in flagging up incidents. \"Reporting abuse, whether witnessed or experienced, is an important part of the game's overall anti-discrimination work,\" said an FA spokesperson. \"There are clear ways for players and fans to do this, and these improved procedures should result in more reports in the future.\" Bates admitted that it takes \"bravery and courage\" for fans to record photographic evidence on their phones, but pointed to the effect British expatriate Paul Nolan has had after he filmed Chelsea fans physically stopping a black man from getting on the Paris metro last month. The amateur video obtained by The Guardian newspaper, and posted on its website, shows the man make multiple attempts to board a train at Richelieu-Drouot station, only to be pushed away each time by a group of passengers.

As a result of this pressure, al Qaeda officials were seriously considering relocating elements of the organization to other countries such as Afghanistan or Iran. They also entered into ceasefire discussions through intermediaries with elements of Pakistan's intelligence service, ISI, although the documents suggest that nothing came of these discussions and there is no evidence in the documents indicating that the Pakistani government had any clue about bin Laden's location or presence in Pakistan. CIA efforts to spy on the group and kill its leaders were so effective that in June 2010 an al Qaeda official urged bin Laden, \"You should have fewer exchanges of correspondence with us during this period. Make the period between contacts longer and further apart. Take excessive caution and care, especially this year.\" This was wise counsel. Within a few weeks of this letter being written, the CIA would track bin Laden's trusted courier to his longtime hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and on May 1, 2011, a U.S. Navy SEAL operation ordered by President Barack Obama killed al Qaeda's leader. The new al Qaeda documents are part of a trove of many thousands that the SEALs recovered at bin Laden's compound. Several were released during the Brooklyn trial last month of al Qaeda operative Abid Naseer. Seventeen of these documents had also been released around the first anniversary of bin Laden's death. It's long past time for the government to release more of these thousands of captured documents -- with any necessary redactions for national security purposes -- as they help us to understand better what precipitated the decline and fall of the terrorist group that once dominated the attention of the world, just as ISIS does today. The documents show how al Qaeda's 9/11 operation unleashed so much force against it, including the CIA drone program, that it had to hide in the shadows and couldn't pull off any successful operation in the West for many years before the death of bin Laden. The documents demonstrate that almost a decade after 9/11 al Qaeda was struggling to get any kind of operation going against Western targets. In a report on \"external operations,\" an al Qaeda official explained that a plot to attack the U.S. Embassy in Russia had fizzled and that despite sending al Qaeda members to the UK to hit \"several targets\" these operations had also come to nothing. Al Qaeda had also sent \"three brothers\" on a terrorist mission to Denmark, a country that bin Laden loathed because of the publication by a Danish newspaper of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, but had \"lost contact with them.\" Given all the problems the group was having, an al Qaeda strategist suggested refocusing efforts on carrying out terrorist attacks using the \"simplest things such", "summary": "New documents show al Qaeda's desperate straits in Osama bin Laden's final years .

A team of five investigators went \"through the apartment looking for clues as to what the co-pilot's motivation might have been, if he did indeed bring the plane down,\" police spokesman Markus Niesczery said. Full story: . The co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 purposely crashed the plane into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board, officials said Thursday. \"We at Lufthansa are speechless that this aircraft has been deliberately crashed by the co-pilot,\" said Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings. Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said the co-pilot, 27-year-old German national Andreas Lubitz, apparently \"wanted to destroy the aircraft.\" It's unknown whether Lubitz planned his actions, Robin said. But he \"took advantage\" of a moment in which the pilot left the cockpit and \"activated the descent,\" which can only be done deliberately. New details released Thursday appeared to support the startling revelation that someone set the plane on a crash course. Transponder data shows that the autopilot was reprogrammed during the flight by someone inside the cockpit to change the plane's altitude from 38,000 feet to 100 feet, according to Flightradar24, a website that tracks aviation data. The plane's cockpit audio recorder captured horrific sounds. The captain, somehow locked out of the cockpit, can be heard banging on the door, Robin said. And screaming can be heard on the audio recording for the final few minutes of the flight. For those on board when the plane plunged into the mountains, Robin said, death was instantaneous. Who was co-pilot Andreas Lubitz? Police searched Lubitz's apartment in Dusseldorf on Thursday, looking for clues about his possible motive. A search is underway for the plane's second \"black box,\" the flight data recorder, which could shed more light on the plane's final minutes. And the French government has asked the FBI to help investigate the crash, a law enforcement official said. Investigators so far say they're baffled about why Lubitz would have crashed the plane . Lufthansa does \"not have any clues,\" Spohr said. The picture of the plane's final minutes comes largely from what was discovered in the mangled cockpit voice recorder. The pilot and co-pilot had normal exchanges during the beginning of the flight, Robin said. When the pilot stepped out to go to the bathroom, he asked Lubitz to take over. It's unclear whether the pilot entered a code to try to get back into the cockpit when he returned, or whether Lubitz \"put the lever on lock,\" which would have prevented the code from working, Spohr said. The most plausible explanation of what happened next is that Lubitz, \"through deliberate abstention, refused to open the cabin door ... to the chief pilot, and used the", "summary": "Transponder data indicates someone inside the cockpit programmed plane's descent .

+{"article": "(CNN)If you were the lucky recipient of a bunch of fragrant roses this Valentine's Day, it's likely that they came from Kenya. The country is the third largest exporter of cut flowers in the world, accounting for around 35% of all sales in the European Union. Famed for being long-lasting, Kenya's roses, carnations and summer flowers are also popular in Russia and the U.S. where last week several growers showcased their blooms at the World Floral Expo in Los Angeles. The event is one of the industry's largest and gathers over 80 exhibitors from across the world, with several Ethiopian growers also representing the African continent alongside Kenya. The country's flower power is attributed to its sunny climate, which enables high-quality blossoms to be grown year-round without the need for expensive-to-run greenhouses. Kenya also has excellent transport links to Europe, and from there, the rest of the world through Nairobi airport, which has a terminal dedicated specially to the transport of flowers and vegetables. This means that delicate floral cargo which is perishable in nature can be shifted from growers to consumers swiftly. More than 500,000 people in the country depend on the trade according to the Kenya Flower Council, with roughly half of the country's 127 flower farms concentrated around Lake Naivasha, around 90 kilometers northwest of Nairobi. \"Naivasha is a big center because it's a freshwater lake and it is not very far from Nairobi, which makes transport easy,\" says John Kihia, technical director of Floralife Africa, a company which provides hydration, transport and storage for the cut-flower industry. \"People have been growing flowers there for a long time so there is a skilled labor force in place,\" he adds. Activists have expressed concerns over the environmental impact that the booming trade could inflict on the lake, but local farmers have been working with the WWF in order to make sure that water levels are not affected: \"It's about putting together a strong business case about why it's good for growers to save water and ways to manage that,\" says Drew McVey, WWF technical adviser who calls the collaboration \"a story of success.\" Naivasha Lake's location 1,884 meters above sea level is particularly fertile ground for medium-sized roses which are often found in the floral sections of EU supermarkets, whereas farms in higher altitudes yield bigger blooms popular in Russia: \"It's a consumer preference. In Moscow people will buy a single rose, so if it's bigger it naturally looks more spectacular, whereas in the UK they buy bunches more often,\" says Kihia. Big business . Horticulture has been one of the top foreign exchange earners for Kenya, and the flower industry alone raked in around $600m last year, exporting 124,858 tonnes valued at around $507m in 2013. Nearly two thirds of exports are destined for Holland, where they are resold to florists through auctions which present a safe avenue into the market for less seasoned growers: \"If you sell through an auction and you have a good quality product, people will be competing for your flowers which will give you", "summary": "Kenya is one of the biggest flower exporters in the world .

+{"article": "(CNN)Computer hacking was once the realm of curious teenagers. It's now the arena of government spies, professional thieves and soldiers of fortune. Today, it's all about the money. That's why Chinese hackers broke into Lockheed Martin and stole the blueprints to the trillion-dollar F-35 fighter jet. It's also why Russian hackers have sneaked into Western oil and gas companies for years. The stakes are higher, too. In 2010, hackers slipped a \"digital bomb\" into the Nasdaq that nearly sabotaged the stock market. In 2012, Iran ruined 30,000 computers at Saudi oil producer Aramco. And think of the immense (and yet undisclosed) damage from North Korea's cyberattack on Sony Pictures last year. Computers were destroyed, executives' embarrassing emails were exposed, and the entire movie studio was thrown into chaos. It wasn't always this way. Hacking actually has some pretty innocent and harmless beginnings. The whole concept of \"hacking\" sprouted from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology nearly 50 years ago. Computer science students there borrowed the term from a group of model train enthusiasts who \"hacked\" electric train tracks and switches in 1969 to improve performance. These new hackers were already figuring out how to alter computer software and hardware to speed it up, even as the scientists at AT&T Bell Labs were developing UNIX, one of the world's first major operating systems. Hacking became the art of figuring out unique solutions. It takes an insatiable curiosity about how things work; hackers wanted to make technology work better, or differently. They were not inherently good or bad, just clever. In that sense, the first generation of true hackers were \"phreakers,\" a bunch of American punks who toyed with the nation's telephone system. In 1971, they discovered that if you whistle at a certain high-pitched tone, 2600-hertz, you could access AT&T's long-distance switching system. They would make international phone calls, just for the fun of it, to explore how the telephone network was set up. This was low-fi stuff. The most famous phreaker, John Draper (aka \"Cap'n Crunch) earned his nickname because he realized the toy whistle given away in cereal boxes emitted just the right tone. This trained engineer took that concept to the next level by building a custom \"blue box\" to make those free calls. This surreptitious little box was such a novel idea that young engineers Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs started building and selling it themselves. These are the guys who would later go on to start Apple. Wire fraud spiked, and the FBI cracked down on phreakers and their blue boxes. The laws didn't quite fit, though. Kids were charged with making harassing phone calls and the like. But federal agents couldn't halt this phenomenon. A tech-savvy, inquisitive and slightly anti-authoritarian community had been born. The next generation came in the early 1980s, as people bought personal computers for their homes and hooked them up to the telephone network. The Web wasn't yet alive, but computers could still talk to one another. This was the golden age of hacking. These curious kids tapped into whatever computer system they could", "summary": "The concept of \"hacking\" began nearly 50 years ago at MIT .

+{"article": "Charleston, South Carolina (CNN)Thirty years or so ago, the synagogue in Washington DC where I was attending Yom Kippur services received a bomb threat. As we evacuated the building, I was concerned that people didn't seem to be taking it seriously. I was visiting from Europe, where terrorism was a fact of life, and I was scared. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s in Europe, and even beyond, far-left and far-right extremists, the IRA, radical Palestinians, and a variety of other groups carried out thousands of terror attacks, big and small, that left thousands dead or injured. Jewish, Israeli -- and American -- sites were targets of some of the most notorious attacks: from the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, to plane and cruise ship hijackings, to attacks on airports, synagogues, and simply places where Jews congregated, such as the Jo Goldenberg kosher deli in Paris, where six died and 22 were wounded in a bloody attack in August 1982. In Rome, where I lived for parts of the 1970s and '80s, we tended to avoid certain streets where El Al and U.S. airlines had their offices. The first big story I helped cover as a young reporter was a bloody attack at the city's Fiumicino airport in December 1973. A dozen years later, the daughter of friends was killed in another Palestinian attack there. The main synagogue in Rome has been under tight guard since Palestinian attackers threw hand grenades and sprayed machinegun fire at worshippers after services in October 1982, killing a toddler and wounding dozens. I don't want to discount the gravity and horror of recent terror attacks against Jewish targets in Europe, such as in Copenhagen and Paris. I just want to add some perspective. Many things have changed over the decades. Post-Cold War power vacuums and Middle East upheavals have given rise to radical Islamism and globalized Jihadist terror networks whose message, fanned out via the internet and social media, strikes a chord in disaffected youth. To be sure, Jews are being targeted. But it is important to recognize that Jews are being targeted as part of a violent campaign against western democracies and western values in general. Today's victims of Islamist terror include Christians and Muslims as well as Jews. In the Middle East and Africa, women, children, students, and cultural heritage -- history -- are also directly targeted. In some ways, today's Jihadist terrorists can be seen as harnessing various types of terrorism we saw in earlier decades: the anti-Jewish/anti-Israel terrorism of radical Palestinian groups and the anti-establishment, even anarchistic terrorism of homegrown groups whose aim was to sow fear and destabilize society as a means to bring down the system. Anti-Semitism takes many forms. Criticism of Israel is legitimate (and sometimes necessary), but it can, and sometimes does, cross the line. This isn't new either, however. Jews in Europe have been regarded -- and scapegoated -- as surrogates for Israel for decades. In 1967-68, after Israel defeated Arab states in the Six-Day War, Poland's communist regime staged an \"anti-Zionist\" campaign that", "summary": "Ruth Ellen Gruber says the victims of today's Islamist terror attacks include Christians and Muslims as well as Jews.

It's the aftermath of an all-out melee in a Walmart parking lot in Cottonwood, Arizona, a town of 11,000 people about an hour's drive south of Flagstaff. But details are murky outside of the injury and arrest reports. What's known, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety statement released by spokesman Raul Garcia, is that someone at the store called the Cottonwood Police Department a few minutes before midnight Saturday to report that a woman who worked at Walmart \"had been assaulted in the store by multiple suspects.\" The suspects were in the parking lot when police responded, and they immediately attacked the officers, the DPS statement said. Two suspects were shot, one in the abdomen and one fatally, while one of the suspects shot a Cottonwood officer in the leg, according to DPS. \"I heard about eight to 10 shots,\" Louie Solano, an eyewitness, told CNN affiliate KPHO. \"It was a lot of noise. It looked like a riot in the middle of the parking lot. I mean it was unbelievable,\" he said. Investigators believe the nine suspects were all from the same family. \"We believe they are from Idaho because of the license plate on their vehicle,\" DPS spokesman Bart Graves told CNN. The condition of the suspect who was shot in the stomach was not known. Seven other suspects were taken into custody, the statement said, and \"a total of eight officers and another (Walmart) employee were assaulted in the parking lot during the fight. Seven of those officers sustained minor injuries to include lacerations and bruising.\" The Walmart employee, who was a loss prevention officer, had a broken arm, Graves said. The 31-year-old officer who suffered the gunshot wound was flown to Flagstaff Medical Center, where he underwent surgery. The veteran officer is expected to make a full recovery, according to the statement. The Cottonwood Police Department and the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office directed media questions to DPS. Asked for additional information, Arizona DPS spokesman Bart Graves said, \"This is a very complex investigation, we are still sorting things out and there are a lot of witnesses to talk to, so we are in the early stages.\" He added, \"We were asked by Cottonwood police to conduct a criminal investigation.\" CNN's Brian Carberry contributed to this report.", "summary": "The shot officer underwent surgery and is expected to make full recovery, police say .

Tiny villages are scattered along the gorge, which rises from the apple and pear orchards and the gray stone riverbed of the valley floor to heights of more than 2,000 meters (1.2 miles) above sea level. Many of these villages, which were bustling communities in the 19th century, now lie abandoned or survive with just a handful of inhabitants. One dead-end road, the D107, winds its way through Prads-Haute-Bleone, passing churches and a campsite that offers a peaceful retreat for summer hikers. But the remoteness -- which appeals to small numbers of holidaymakers looking to ski in winter or take restorative walks through the green hills in the warmer months -- may make reaching the wreckage of the Germanwings plane difficult. Gilles Gravier, director of the tourist office in Val d'Allos, told French newspaper Liberation the crash occurred in a particularly steep spot on the Trois Eveches mountain, and may have been witnessed by skiers on the area's slopes. \"There is no access by road; emergency crews are coming in by air, using helicopters,\" he said. Capt.

Zhanna Nemtsova, who said she has no faith in the Russian investigation into the killing, said she believes his death will only deter other opposition voices, rather than embolden them. \"I cannot blame him (Putin) directly, (but) I would say that our authorities, including the president of Russia, have political responsibility as the head of state,\" Nemtsova told CNN's Matthew Chance. Nemtsova says she has no evidence about who ordered the murder, but that \"it's evident that it's politically motivated.\" Nemtsov, 55, was shot dead last Friday night as he walked near the Kremlin with his girlfriend. A former deputy prime minister, he was one of Putin's harshest critics and had been arrested several times for speaking against the government. No one has been arrested, though Russia's Federal Security Service chief has said there are suspects.

+{"article": "(CNN)The Chinese government has declared the Internet to be the new battlefield in its fight against \"pornography and unlawful information.\" The chilling reality is that the main casualty of this cyberwar is freedom of expression. China's Internet model is one of extreme control. The authorities use an army of censors to stifle dissent. In January, the Orwellian \"State Internet Information Office\" announced it had shut down scores of websites and more than 100 social media accounts for \"distorting history of the Communist Party and the nation.\" Under the guise of a campaign to ensure social stability, the Chinese authorities suppress online debate on a range of legitimate issues. Dozens of phrases are censored on social media including any mention of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown or the recent Hong Kong pro-democracy protests. Thousands of websites, including Wikipedia, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter remain blocked. While the new battlefield is virtual, the impact on people's lives is real and devastating. Since President Xi Jinping came to power, hundreds of people have been detained solely for expressing their peaceful views online. It is women's rights activists, anti-corruption and environmental campaigners, and those urging debate on political and legal reforms who fall foul of online censors. Su Changlan was detained by police in October 2014. Her apparent \"crime\" was to have posted comments online in support of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests. She faces charges of \"inciting subversion of state power,\" and a potential sentence of life imprisonment. Liu Ping, a 45-year-old mother and grassroots activist, languishes in jail right now. Last June, she was sentenced to six years in prison on the charge of \"picking quarrels and provoking troubles\" for publicly calling on the Chinese government to step up the fight against corruption. Liu Ping's online posts of photos of her holding banners calling for transparency, and transcripts of Skype chats with foreign media, were used to condemn her at her trial. The paradox is that President Xi has made great mileage out of his own anti-corruption drive. The persecution of Liu Ping, and many others that raise these issues only underlines the hypocrisy of the current leadership. This online attack is part of the worst crackdown against freedom of expression in China in more than a decade. Under President Xi, it is an assault on all fronts: in academia, in the media, civil society and online. Ilham Tohti, an economics professor at Central University for Nationalities in Beijing and the founder of the \"Uyghur Online\" website was sentenced to life imprisonment in September 2014 on charges of \"separatism.\" The charge was based on his online articles, university lectures and interviews with foreign media. He worked to peacefully build bridges between ethnic communities and often criticized government policies that promoted discrimination. I have not seen evidence that his words did otherwise.

Todashev's parents filed a \"notice of claim\" Monday, saying they plan to seek $30 million in a wrongful death lawsuit. The claim argues the FBI has given \"no viable justification\" to account for shooting and killing Todashev during a 2013 interrogation in Todashev's apartment in Orlando, Florida. The interrogation occurred about a month after the Boston Marathon bombings and centered around another crime linked to bombing suspect Tsarnaev: a 2011 triple homicide in Waltham, Massachusetts. Todashev admitted to his direct role in slashing three people's throats in Waltham and said Tsarnaev was involved as well, a federal law enforcement official told CNN in 2013. It was during that interview that Todashev was shot dead. The Council on American Islamic Relations Florida filed the notice of the Todashev family's intention to sue on Monday. \"We are seeking answers and justice for someone who was shot seven times by an FBI agent in his own home after hours of interrogation,\" said Ali Kurnaz, a spokesman for the civil rights group. Many things that happened that day don't add up, Kurnaz said. \"Todashev was unarmed with any gun, knife, explosive or other deadly weapon,\" the notice says. \"Todashev did not pose a threat of serious bodily harm.\" The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Officials who spoke to CNN after the shooting painted a different picture of what happened during the interrogation. One law enforcement official said Todashev attacked the FBI agent with a broom handle, gashing his head before the agent opened fire. At the time, the official stressed that the shooting was justified and done in self-defense because the agent felt threatened. A U.S. government official briefed on the investigation rebuffed the idea that Todashev wasn't a threat -- noting, for instance, that he could have taken the agent's gun. \"He was armed. Maybe it wasn't a weapon, but he had a long object,\" the official said. And because of Todashev's martial arts expertise, \"he was a weapon himself.\" But from the outset, that argument didn't add up to the Todashev family. \"My son was definitely unarmed, because he never had a gun,\" father Abdulbaki Todashev told CNN in 2013. \"He couldn't attack them or fight them; he couldn't do anything because even two men could easily handle him.\" The elder Todashev suggested his son may have been provoked. \"If you question someone for eight hours, you can provoke him into anything,\" he said. Last year, Florida State Attorney Jeffrey Ashton said after an investigation the FBI agent's actions were justified. \"(Todashev) went down, but he was not incapacitated. He came up again in an aggressive manner, and the officer then fired the second volley of three or four shots. Which at that point essentially incapacitated Mr. Todashev,\" Ashton said. \"It would seem almost superhuman, but everything that we have learned in the investigation would show an individual who has a great deal of tolerance of pain", "summary": "Ibragim Todashev was killed during a 2013 FBI interrogation .

But if you want to get a bit closer to some of nature's most beautiful beasts then heading out on four legs, not four wheels, might be your best bet. Venturing into the continent's game reserves on horseback may seem a little daunting but is one of the best ways to experience the environment, says Philip Kusseler, co-owner of Wait A Little horse safaris. Kusseler has been leading outings into South Africa's Karongwe and Greater Makalali Game Reserves near the famous Kruger National Park for more than a decade. His stable of around 40 horses at a farm in Ofcolaco in the northwest of the country includes warmbloods, native Boerperds and former thoroughbreds. The ex-racehorses may be more used to chasing on the turf than exploring the bush, but Kusseler says that once trained they make for great tour guides. \"When you get a retired racehorse, you have extremely fit horse right from the beginning which is of course very good to work with. Secondly, you get a horse that likes to excite itself and learn new things,\" Kusseler told CNN's Winning Post. Most racehorses face an uncertain future when their track days come to an end -- usually at the age of around six or seven. A lucky few are sent to stud while others, like double Gold Cup winner Kauto Star, try their luck at different equestrian disciplines.

Kusseler is looking to grow his current stock of three ex-racers which are prepared for their new role by his wife Gerti, a former dressage rider and FEI coach. \"We train all our horses in basic dressage,\" she explains. \"It's very important that they are responsive and trust the rider and trust the aids of the rider. The basic training and dressage helps a lot to make them responsive and fun to ride as well.\" All horses spend a minimum of two years being schooled at a purpose-built riding arena at the farm and also in the bush where they learn to deal with some of nature's most intimidating creatures. \"When an ex-racehorse sees a lion,\" explains Philip Kusseler, \"you can feel it's heartbeat through the saddle but he soon learns to cope with it and they are just as cool as any other horse breed.\" \"Trekking with horses is extremely dangerous because the horse fits the lions prey preference perfectly.

+{"article": "New York (CNN)A federal jury Wednesday found Abid Naseer guilty of plotting with al Qaeda to bomb a shopping center in 2009 in Manchester, England, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York said. Naseer, 28, was convicted on three criminal violations: providing material support to al Qaeda, conspiring to provide material support for al Qaeda and conspiring to use a destructive device in relation to a crime of violence. The Manchester plot was allegedly part of a three-pronged plan that included attacks on the New York City subway system and on a newsroom in Copenhagen. None were carried out. The New York plot allegedly originated with Najibullah Zazi, who is believed to have corresponded with the same al Qaeda contact as Naseer. Zazi pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and was the first witness in Naseer's trial. Naseer, a Pakistani national, was in the United Kingdom on a student visa at the time of his arrest. Among the evidence presented, prosecutors pointed out that Naseer had dropped out of classes after only a week. Naseer had no intention of completing his studies because \"that was never the plan,\" Assistant U.S. Attorney Zainab Ahmad argued, saying that Naseer applied for a student visa as a means of entering the country to carry out the attack. Naseer maintained throughout the two-week trial that he was innocent, repeatedly denying all charges and insisting that he was in the United Kingdom to find a wife, not to plan an attack. He represented himself. He told jury members that prosecutors were only able to produce circumstantial evidence, with no witnesses offering direct information of Naseer's role in the alleged plot. They did not offer any outright proof of any link to al Qaeda or any other terrorist organization, he argued. Naseer's arrest in England was part of a massive sweep in connection with an alleged plot to carry out bomb attacks in Britain.

He suggested that the letter was part of a U.S. strategy of last-minute reversal aimed at undermining a comprehensive deal covering Iran's nuclear ambitions, Press TV said. \"This is part of their ploys and tricks,\" said Khamenei. Iran faces a March 24 deadline to reach a deal over its nuclear program. Several interim agreements have been made in recent months, though a long-term pact so far has been elusive. The six world powers -- the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom and France, plus Germany, a group known as the P5+1 -- are seeking a deal that will ensure that Iran doesn't develop nuclear arms. Officials in Tehran have publicly insisted they want a nuclear program for energy purposes, not to create atomic weaponry. The Republican senators' decision to write to Iran's leaders has stirred up a political firestorm in the United States. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry denounced the letter Wednesday at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, calling it a breach of \"more than two centuries of precedent\" and factually incorrect. Did 47 Republican senators break the law in plain sight? \"It purports to tell the world that if you want to have any confidence in your dealings with America, they have to negotiate with 535 members of Congress,\" Kerry said. \"That is both untrue and a profoundly bad suggestion to make.\" Sen.

And even at the age of 40, former Juventus star Alessandro Del Piero is still purring along, showing no signs of running out of gas. The record-breaking striker is currently enjoying an Indian summer to his football career, completing stints at Sydney FC in Australia and more recently at the Delhi Dynamos in the inaugural Indian Super League. Inevitably, the time will come when he finally decides to hang up his boots but that doesn't look like happening anytime soon -- not when he's still enjoying himself so much. \"About football, I love every single moment -- the life with teammates, the atmosphere before a game, the free kicks, the goals. I love every moment like the first one,\" Del Piero told CNN's Human to Hero series. The man dubbed \"Il Pinturicchio\" (\"the little artist\") has enjoyed a glittering career for both country and club in Italy. During 19 seasons at Juventus he won 15 trophies including six Serie A crowns and a European Champions League title, as well as setting club records for appearances and goals. In all, Del Piero made 705 appearances for the Bianconeri -- including a record 478 in Serie A -- and scored 289 goals along the way. \"I'm very proud about the records because I do everything for the club. I've had some great moments with the club, with the fans (and) with my teammates,\" he says. Raised in the town of Conegliano in northern Italy, Del Piero's love for football was fostered by his late father, Gino. \"My childhood was fantastic. I trained and played every moment and in every space of my home,\" he recalls. \"You know northern Italy is very cold -- you cannot play outside, so my father would move the car out of the garage to give me more space. I would play alone, with my schoolmates and try to imagine in my mind what it means to be a footballer.\" Del Piero turned professional at the age of 17, joining Serie B side Padova in 1991 before being snapped up by Juventus for \u20ac2.6 million two years later. His longstanding relationship with the \"Old Lady,\" as Juventus is affectionately known, got off on the right foot almost from the start. Del Piero scored five times in 11 appearances in his debut season before making his breakthrough the following year, becoming a first-team regular standing in for injured star striker Roberto Baggio. The two men would go on to share a dressing room at international level, with both netting 27 times for their country, but their defining moments for the Azzurri could not have been more contrasting. While Baggio will forever be remembered for missing a penalty kick that handed Brazil victory in the 1994 FIFA World Cup final, Del Piero has cause to reflect on happier times on football's biggest stage.

Heather Cho, a Korean Air executive and daughter of the airline's chairman, is serving a one-year prison sentence in South Korea after throwing a fit on a New York flight because her nuts were served in a bag instead of a porcelain bowl. In a civil suit filed this week in state Supreme Court in Queens, New York, Cho -- whose name is listed as Heather Hyun A-Cho in court documents -- is accused of \"verbally and physically\" attacking flight attendant Kim Do-hee in December on a Seoul-bound flight departing from John F. Kennedy International Airport. At the time, Cho, who was seated in first class, demanded that the plane go back to the gate so Kim could be kicked off the flight, according to the lawsuit. The episode, which was widely reported, was a \"prime example of the corrupt and entitled behavior of the members of elite South Korean business families,\" the lawsuit states. The suit describes Cho as the \"princess\" of the \"so-called royal\" family that controls Korean Air, and says the executive screamed obscenities at Kim before hitting, shoving and threatening the flight attendant. On her return to South Korea, the lawsuit states, Kim was \"pressured to lie to government regulators in order to cover up the incident, and to appear in public with Cho as part of an orchestrated effort to try and rehabilitate Cho's public image.\" A South Korean judge last month said that Cho's actions threatened the development of the aviation industry and inconvenienced passengers, and ruled that she violated aviation law, changed a flight path and interfered with operations. She was sentenced to a year in jail. The judge blasted Cho for her conduct, saying that she had used the plane as if it were her personal car and that as a passenger, she could not override crew members and give orders during a flight.

Her life became a prison: Chained to a bed in a warehouse, she endured regular beatings, rapes and once was even set on fire by her captors as she was forced to serve 5 to 30 men every day. The experience was enough for her to wish she was dead. And this all took place in Texas -- right here, in our own country. Melissa miraculously escaped her captors but, as is the case with so many other victims, she struggled for years to distance herself from her past, even finding herself in jail on multiple occasions. And while institutionalized slavery has long been cast from America's history books, thousands of children still suffer from the bonds of sex trafficking. Indeed, with the average age of a victim only 13 years old, these horrific crimes are stealing the innocent childhoods of kids across America. And the problem isn't confined to one part of the country. In, Minnesota, for example, a 12-year-old girl received a text message that she thought was from a friend. It invited her to go to a party and asked her to go to a fast food restaurant nearby. But she didn't get to a party. Instead, she was taken to a hotel and raped by a 34-year-old pimp, forced to take explicit photos of herself that were then posted on Craigslist, before being forced to have sex with two more men who saw the post. These heartbreaking stories demonstrate what is broken about our current system, and why we both feel committed to fixing it. Instead of treating people like these young girls as the victims they are, they are often thrown into the criminal justice system, labeled prostitutes and left with few options but to return to a nightmare that shockingly still exists in the United States. Meanwhile, instead of treating their perpetrators as child rapists and traffickers, they are often simply treated as \"Johns\" who, if caught, often pay a fine and go on their way. This is outrageous, and should not be tolerated any longer. That is why we've joined forces with more than 200 advocacy groups to fight this modern-day slave trade and provide hope and opportunity for its victims. Two bills we have introduced to combat this horrific crime recently passed the Senate Judiciary Committee with strong support and will have the opportunity for consideration by the Senate. The Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act (JVTA) would support victims by taking fines and criminal assets from convicted human traffickers and directing them toward services and treatment to help victims restore their lives. The JVTA doesn't only help victims, it also arms law enforcement with more tools to go after human traffickers. It ensures these criminals, including \"Johns,\" are brought to justice under our laws, because a financial transaction should not mask assault on a child.

+{"article": "(CNN)Scientists have raised concerns about a large, rapidly thinning glacier in Antarctica, warning it could contribute significantly to rising sea levels. They say they've discovered two openings that could channel warm seawater to the base of the huge Totten Glacier and bring the threat of potentially disastrous melting. The glacier is bigger and thinning faster than all the others in East Antarctica. It contains enough ice to raise the global sea level by at least 11 feet (3.4 meters), according to researchers from the University of Texas at Austin who were among the authors of a new study published this week in the journal Nature Geoscience. Scientists had previously detected warm water on the seaward side of the glacier. But until now, they had found no evidence that it could threaten coastal ice. \"We now know there are avenues for the warmest waters in East Antarctica to access the most sensitive areas of Totten Glacier,\" said Jamin Greenbaum, a University of Texas Ph.D. candidate and the lead author of the study. The two gateways on the seafloor that lead to the base of the glacier offer an explanation for why Totten Glacier has been melting so fast. Scientists have already warned about the consequences of melting ice in West Antarctica. NASA said last year that glacial retreat in some areas \"appears unstoppable.\" The increase in sea levels that would be caused by the melting of all the ice in Totten Glacier is estimated to be roughly equivalent to the contribution from a collapse of the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The United Nations' report on climate change last year estimated sea levels could rise between 1 foot and 3 feet by 2100. Such a rise could displace tens of millions of people from coastal areas around the world. But that calculation doesn't factor in the latest research on Antarctica. \"While the Totten melt may take several centuries, once change has begun our analysis reveals it would likely be irreversible,\" Greenbaum said in comments cited by the Australian Antarctic Division. To prevent the process from becoming unstoppable, atmospheric and oceanic conditions would need to change so that snowfall outpaces coastal melting, the researchers said. The scientists gathered their data through a series of aerial surveys using technology that can scan the ice and seafloors in areas that are inaccessible to icebreakers. The team included researchers from the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.", "summary": "New study reveals openings that threaten huge glacier with warm water .

I owe my success to my father Herminio, mother Juanita and countless others that dreamed of a better tomorrow. They dreamed of a better tomorrow never knowing if they would reap the slightest of benefits from their hard work. Today I stand as a testimony to that dream. As a teenager, my father left his life of poverty in Mexico for the promise of a new life in the United States in 1959. The hard, physical work of picking crops in the fields of California, Arizona and Texas, earned him less than a dollar a day, once room and board was subtracted. The Braceros program granted him a work visa and when he finished the program, he began his path to citizenship. My father did not complete any formal education past fourth grade.

+{"article": "(CNN)On Friday, ISIS claimed responsibility for Yemen's deadliest terror attack. A day earlier it claimed responsibility for the worst terror attack in Tunisia. Last week it welcomed into the fold Boko Haram, a Nigerian terrorist group with thousands of fanatical fighters that dominates territory the size of New Jersey. All this came in the wake of the group's rapid expansion across Libya, its assimilation of a powerful Egyptian terrorist group, and the founding of small chapters in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Algeria, where its new affiliate last year beheaded a French hiker. The group's momentum may have stalled in Syria and Iraq, but its supporters from the Atlantic to the Hindu Kush appear to be heeding its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's call to \"erupt volcanoes of jihad.\" By far the most surprising development was its claim of responsibility for the twin suicide bomb blasts that killed over 130 in Houthi-Shia mosques in Sanaa, Yemen, on Friday and another attack in the north. ISIS was only thought to have a fledgling presence in Yemen and had only claimed one previous attack, the assassination of a Yemeni security official north of Aden earlier this month. Al Qaeda in Yemen, or AQAP, has for years been the dominant Jihadi group inside Yemen, but it denied involvement in the mosque attacks, saying it was against its principles to target mosques, bolstering the ISIS claim. This indicates ISIS has very quickly built up an operational capability inside Yemen in the months since jihadis inside the country released an audiotape declaring allegiance to Baghdadi last November. Only two developments could explain this: defections from AQAP or the return home of Yemeni ISIS veterans skilled in urban warfare and explosives. There is no love lost these days between the two groups. Since Baghdadi declared ISIS had expanded into Yemen late last year there has been an escalating war of words between them, with ISIS claiming AQAP was not doing enough to target Houthis and AQAP declaring that the ISIS caliphate was illegitimate. While AQAP has acknowledged previous internal disagreements about whether to support ISIS, there have been relatively few defections. Its charismatic leader, Nasir al-Wuhayshi, al Qaeda's global number two, is extremely popular among the group's rank and file. In recent months the group has reaped a recruitment windfall from Sunni tribal anger over the Houthi takeover of Sanaa, allowing it to expand its operations across Yemen. But ISIS appears now to have laid down the gauntlet, declaring its attacks Friday were the \"tip of the iceberg.\" In targeting the Houthi mosques in Sanaa, ISIS would be quite deliberately repeating the sectarian strategy of its founder, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who launched a devastating suicide bombing on Golden Mosque in Samarra in February 2006, which plunged Iraq into a full-blown sectarian civil war. Al-Zarqawi correctly calculated that the Shia, infuriated by the attack on their most sacred shrines, would violently retaliate, driving Sunnis into the embrace of the jihadis.

At one point, video shows her standing with her face covered in blood. She is pushed and falls over, and her beating continues with feet, with rocks, with boards. Then, in the last part of the video, her body is engulfed in flames -- though it's not known whether, by that point, she was already dead. This horrific scene played out in Kabul on Thursday. It's already had ripple effects, including a United Nations statement on Friday condemning what it called \"the brutal killing and burning of a 27-year-old mentally ill woman.\" That corresponds with what the woman's parents told CNN affiliate Tolo News, saying their daughter suffered from mental health problems for the last 16 years. It's not known whether her attackers knew this, or that it would have mattered. What motivated the mob, according to witnesses, was a belief that the targeted woman had burned the Quran. CNN hasn't seen any proof that she set a copy ablaze. Afghanistan's Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs has found no such evidence, either, according to Tolo. Mark Bowden, acting head of the U.N. Afghanistan mission, said that burning the Quran hurts efforts to promote \"understanding and mutual respect between cultures and religions.\" \"However, the brutal murder of this woman is an unspeakably horrendous act,\" Bowden said, \"that should result in those responsible being prosecuted, to the fullest extent possible, under Afghan law.\" Nahid, a 45-year-old woman who goes only by one name, told CNN what she saw and heard outside the Shah Do Shamshera shrine, which is opposite a mosque by the same name. A group of women were shouting at the eventual victim, accusing her of burning the Quran, according to Nahid. The woman yelled back. This got the attention of men nearby. Police tried to close gates to keep them out but it didn't work, said the witness, noting that many men jumped a fence and began beating the accused woman. The hits and kicks ended after someone poured fuel on the woman and lit her on fire, said Nahid, who watched from inside the shrine. \"(They) burned her and then threw her corpse away in the Kabul River,\" she said. As of Saturday, 11 people had been arrested in connection with the woman's death, according to Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Seddiqi. Seddiqi said that the investigation is ongoing. President Ashraf Ghani ordered two investigations related to the case -- one into the beating itself and another including religious scholars. His government is \"committed to protecting and safeguarding all Islamic values,\" including prohibitions on burning the Quran (if that is, indeed, what this woman did). That's a responsibility of the nation's security and legal system, Ghani said, not of individual Afghans. \"No individual is allowed to make oneself a judge and use violence to punish others in degrading manners,\" the President said. \"Launching personal trials and choosing who to punish stands in clear contradiction to", "summary": "11 have been arrested in woman's beating, government spokesman says .

He regularly goes head to head with the top defensive players in the NFL and does his best to keep quarterback Joe Flacco out of harm's way. But besides his endeavors on the field, Urschel also keeps up another demanding pursuit that is rarely associated with NFL players: mathematical research. Not content with the respect of the locker room, he also seeks the esteem of top mathematicians around the globe. \"I have a Bachelor's and Master's in mathematics, all with a 4.0, and numerous published papers in major mathematical journals,\" Urschel wrote in a recent article for The Players' Tribune. His latest contribution to the mathematical realm was a paper for the Journal of Computational Mathematics with the impressively esoteric title, \"A Cascadic Multigrid Algorithm for Computing the Fiedler Vector of Graph Laplacians.\" Urschel, 23, makes no effort to hide his unusual combination of talents: his official Twitter handle is @MathMeetsFball. As word of his double life spread on social media in recent days, users responded with fascination and admiration. \"You are my goddamn hero (football fan and aspiring complex/functional analyst here),\" tweeted Roy Cardenas, who describes himself as a math Ph.D. student. But Urschel acknowledges that he has faced questions from NFL officials, journalists, fans and fellow mathematicians about why he runs the risk of potential brain injury from playing football when he has \"a bright career ahead of me in mathematics.\" After every season, he says in the Players' Tribune article, his mother tries to discourage him from continuing to play football. The Penn State graduate says the reason he keeps going isn't for the money (he drives a used Nissan Versa and lives on less than $25,000 a year) or \"for some social status associated with being an elite athlete.\" It's simpler than that. \"I play because I love the game. I love hitting people,\" he writes. \"There's a rush you get when you go out on the field, lay everything on the line and physically dominate the player across from you.\" \"This is a feeling I'm (for lack of a better word) addicted to, and I'm hard-pressed to find anywhere else,\" he explains.

While he is an Israeli citizen, the charismatic 41-year-old lawyer is of Palestinian descent -- one of 1.6 million Israeli Arabs living in Israel. Under Odeh's leadership, Israel's tiny, splintered Arab parties have teamed up for the first time to form a slate known as the Joint List. Come election day on Tuesday, they are poised to take as many as 15 seats. This could potentially make them the third-largest party in the Knesset after Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and his main rival, the Zionist Camp coalition, potentially giving them the balance of power. It is a game-changer, giving a significant voice to one-fifth of the population that has long complained of being treated as second-class citizens. His most immediate goal is to deny a new term to Netanyahu, who he says has led the \"most racist government in history.\" \"Netanyahu says the danger to Israel is not Palestinians in the West Bank, but rather Arabs in Israel. What is that telling me as a citizen of Haifa?\" he asked in an interview on Saturday. \"With 15 seats in the Knesset, no one will ever be able to ignore us again.\" Until now, Arab parties have failed to unite because of deep ideological differences. They run the spectrum from communist to Islamist. But a law passed by the last Knesset, sponsored by the right-wing party of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, raised the threshold of votes a party must receive to be admitted to the Knesset. Many believed Lieberman's goal was to push the Arab parties out of the Knesset. It's a theory that was given credence when, in recent televised debate, Lieberman warned Odeh, \"You are here for now.\" \"Why are you even here?\" Leiberman said to Odeh. Baiting him by accusing him of \"representing terror groups,\" Lieberman turned to Odeh and said, \"You're not wanted here.\" Odeh politely noted that his Joint List was polling well ahead of Lieberman's party. \"I'm very wanted in my homeland,\" he said. \"I'm part of the scenery. I resemble it.\" With that calm, dignified response, Odeh attracted political star status among Jews and Arabs alike. At the Hebrew University forum, event students campaigning for the Labor Party and the left-wing Meretz Party wanted to take selfies with him. More importantly, he has given hope to the 1.6 million Palestinians who hold Israeli citizenship that they might finally enjoy social and economic equality.

The dead man was initially identified as an undocumented Bangladeshi settler, but now police say they still are determining his nationality. \"I am not ruling out that he's not a Bangladeshi. I am also not denying that he is not an Indian. We are verifying his nationality,\" said G. Akheto Sema, an additional director-general of Nagaland's police, when asked about local reports suggesting the attacked man was an Indian citizen. Dimapur town remains under a curfew, Sema said, amid growing tensions between native Nagas and Bangladeshi migrants in the district. Thousands of protesters demanding the cancellation of trade permits for Bengali-speaking settlers tore into the prison complex Thursday and pulled out the suspect, Doungal said. Police initially used teargas and bamboo canes to rescue the man, but it didn't work, he said. \"There were students in uniform. So, we had to use minimum force,\" Doungal added. Later, police opened fire, but it was too late to save the suspect. Protesters had planned a public hanging, but the suspect died from injuries in the attack, according to authorities. \"We retrieved his body before it could be hung,\" Doungal said.

+{"article": "(CNN)As more details about the infamous ISIS executioner \"Jihadi John\" become known, certain basic questions continue to be raised. Is Islam as a faith to be blamed for Mohammed Emwazi's voyage to ISIS, otherwise known as the Islamic State? Or is the \"War On Terror\" responsible, and is this merely \"chickens coming home to roost?\" The temptation is to come to simplistic answers. Confronted with such brazen depravity as shown in ISIS propaganda videos, many take what their propagandists say very seriously: That they are, indeed, doing what their faith tells them to do. On the other hand, few believed ISIS when it was claimed they would negotiate with the Japanese authorities to release one of their citizens captured in Syria, who was later killed. Taking ISIS at their word is probably not the most sensible course of action -- it is obviously quite wrong -- and duplicitous -- about a number of things. There have been other neo-religious movements in both Muslim and Christian history. The \"Assassins,\" for example, which began in the 11th century, was a radical, heterodox movement of Muslims, which eventually died out -- in its own time, similar to ISIS today, it was decried and depicted as deviant by Muslim religious authorities as well as most Muslims. Among Christendom, many of the Nazi leadership in the 20th century espoused an ideology called \"Positive Christianity.\" It obviously never attracted much of a following, and historians claim, \"Only a few radicals on the extreme wing of liberal Protestantism would recognize such a mish-mash as true Christianity.\" Why, then, are we not prepared to expunge Islam from the mix when interrogating ISIS ideology? While most churches, Protestant and Catholic, rejected the \"Positive Christianity\" of Nazi Germany, there is no corresponding action from the world of Islam. The problem is, that's not entirely possible. Unlike Christendom, Islam does not admit a hierarchical, ecclesiastical authority -- so, no \"Muslim Church\" or \"Islamic Pope\" exists. Having said that, nevertheless, there are systems of religious authority in Islam. They are more akin to academic peer review structures -- indeed, the concept of the modern university comes from the medieval Muslim seminary. Since the dawn of ISIS, numerous Muslim religious authorities have denounced the claim to authenticity by ISIS, on religious grounds -- none have given it that prize of legitimacy it so craves. That is, except for ISIS itself, and for some odd reason, some in the West who insist on taking ISIS at its word. Religious authorities at large, and Muslims in general, may recognize ISIS members as Muslims, albeit gravely deviant ones who ought to be treated as criminals. Just as Europeans en masse rejected the claims of Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass killer, who claimed \"Christianity\" as a motivator, without denying he considered himself to be a Christian. In both cases, it is important to understand how this ideology is internally justified, and on what basis, particularly in terms of establishing methods for immunizing vulnerable people from possible recruitment strategies.

Rescuers pin red flags on the earth when they discover new fragments. Winched down from helicopters on to the steep, icy slopes, where debris lies scattered across hundreds of meters, workers have had to be tied together in two-person teams. One is there to carry out the investigation and recovery. The second is charged with ensuring their safety as they're buffeted by the weather. Complicating matters, very few of the bodies have been found whole, Yves Naffrechoux, captain of rescue operations, told CNN on Friday. And winds have picked up, making it difficult for helicopters to ferry the workers to the site in the French Alps in the first place, he said. Authorities have deployed 45 Alpine police officers to help forensics teams -- not accustomed to working in mountain ravines -- recover the bodies safely, Naffrechoux said. His team is based out of Seyne-les-Alpes, a normally sleepy Alpine village that since Tuesday's crash has been transformed into a hub for the recovery operation. The leaders of Germany, France and Spain have visited. The families of the victims have laid flowers and prayed at a nearby memorial. Journalists have flocked to the spot as they report the latest developments. Meanwhile, the rescue workers have continued their hazardous mission. Before anything could be recovered, the position of the bodies and debris had to be mapped. Human remains must be treated with due respect despite the tricky conditions. The workers are now removing more bodies from the site, Naffrechoux said. The priority remains to find all the bodies and the elusive second \"black box,\" the plane's flight data recorder, he said. Investigators hope, once found, it could yield more clues into what happened on the flight deck of the Germanwings plane before it slammed into the mountainside at about 430 miles per hour.

Affluent Chinese parents are sending their children to British schools after some of the most notable names in British education have established campuses in China.

And the obsession with British culture has taken a bizarre turn in Thames Town, a housing development on the outskirts of Shanghai that resembles a quaint English town, complete with replica red telephone booths. It's crucial that Prince William capitalizes on these cultural ties during his high-profile visit, which is being viewed as the first real test of his diplomatic skills. \"It will tell us something about how he will handle one of the most important diplomatic relationships when he comes to throne,\" said Kerry Brown, a professor of Chinese politics at the University of Sydney and a former British diplomat. \"And I think China will put some capital in his visit because this guy is not a politician, who come and go, but (someone who) will be around for quite a while.\" Cultural exports are viewed as a growth area that the prince can promote. China spent 17 million pounds on UK TV programs and formats in 2013, a 40% increase on the year before, but they form a small part of the overall trade balance.

But just a few months ago, she was on the front lines fighting the Ebola epidemic in Liberia. \"I think anybody that has any feelings for the countries in West Africa that were hit was feeling helpless,\" Meyler said. Meyler had spent the last nine years of her life in Liberia setting up the More Than Me Academy, a tuition-free school for at-risk Liberian girls. While she was on summer break last year, visiting her family in the United States, her mind kept going back to Liberia and the Ebola outbreak. She couldn't sit idle as her neighbors, friends and students were fighting for their lives. Meyler, who is not a medical professional, flew back to the front lines of a global epidemic, the last place most Americans wanted to be during the outbreak. Back in Liberia, Meyler quickly realized that fighting Ebola would be more complicated than administering medical care. With dozens of aid organizations descending on the country, few of them had a history or relationship with it. Meyler saw an opportunity to leverage her relationship with the community of West Point, the slum in which her school is located. Her ability to speak the Liberian-English dialect facilitated logistics. \"The people knew what was needed,\" Meyler said. \"They knew what to do. They just didn't have the resources.\" Her organization met with community leaders and they decided more ambulances were needed. In some instances, it took up to four days for an ambulance to show up. Meyler was able to bring in four ambulances and coordinate with the fathers of her students, who responded to calls by driving the ambulances. Meyler and community leaders identified what was most needed and then came up with steps to meet those needs, said Meyler.

+{"article": "(CNN)ISIS apparently claimed responsibility Thursday for the deadly terrorist attack at a landmark museum in the heart of that country's capital, a mass shooting that has shaken the birthplace of the Arab Spring and stirred questions about militants in the country. In an audio statement posted online Thursday, ISIS identified two men -- Abu Zakariya al-Tunisi and Abu Anas al-Tunisi -- it said used \"automatic weapons and hand grenades\" to kill and injure what it called \"crusaders and apostates\" in the Bardo Museum in Tunis. Tunisian Health Minister Said Aidi said 23 people are believed to have been killed, including at least one who died at a hospital overnight. And that bloodshed, the ISIS message warned, is \"just the start.\" CNN cannot independently verify the legitimacy of the audio statement. A U.S. official told CNN there is no reason to doubt the claim's authenticity. That said, American officials are checking the platform that the statement went out on, including the extent to which it's tied to the group calling itself the Islamic State. The current U.S. thinking is the attack may have been carried out by local \"franchise\" adherents to ISIS, rather than centrally directed by the Islamist extremist group's leadership, which is now thought to be in Syria. The two attackers were carrying explosives, Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi said in an interview Thursday with the French broadcaster TF1. He credited Tunisian security forces for responding so quickly to the attack to avoid a larger tragedy because \"terrible explosives were found on these (attackers) and they didn't have time to use them.\" Tunisia has been viewed as the lone democratic success story in the Arab Spring. But the North African nation is not without its issues, including an uneven economy and the distinction of having more citizens -- up to 3,000 Tunisians -- thought to have gone to Iraq and Syria to fight as jihadists than any other country, according to the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization in London. Authorities there have already arrested nine people in connection with Wednesday's attack, including four directly linked to the bloodshed, according to a statement from Essebsi. Earlier Thursday, Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid identified two suspects, Yassine Labidi and Saber Khachnaou, in an interview with French radio station RTL. It's not clear if those two men were the pair killed at the museum by Tunisian security forces, or if it's possible they're the same people as those identified -- using new names -- in ISIS' audio statement. Labidi was \"known to the security services, he was flagged and monitored,\" Essid said. But he added the man wasn't known or being followed for anything special. The siege took place just days after a Tunisian jihadist tweeted that a pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, was coming soon, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors terrorist propaganda. In his message, the jihadist claimed to belong to Jund al-Khilafah in Tunisia, a group that in December pledged allegiance to ISIS, even though that vow hadn't seemed to have", "summary": "Attackers were unable to use their explosives, Tunisia President tells broadcaster .

Chasing an adjusted target of 298 in just 43 overs after a rain interrupted the match at Eden Park, Grant Elliott hit a six right at the death to confirm victory and send the Auckland crowd into raptures. It is the first time New Zealand has ever reached a World Cup final, and it will play either Australia or India on Sunday. Te pair face each other in Sydney on Thursday. Not the first time in the sport, rain played a part. South Africa were motoring with the bat before a two-hour delay for poor weather. Though its total was escalated by the Duckworth/Lewis method -- used to calculate a revised target in the event of a rain delay -- New Zealand held firm thanks to Elliott. His 84 not out underpinned its innings and it was fitting that he delivered the final blow, smashing Dale Steyn for six off the second last ball to spark jubilant scenes at Eden Park. \"I don't think this win is for myself or the team, but everyone here,\" Elliott said at the post-match presentation. \"The supporters have been amazing. \"I think we timed the pace of the innings to perfection. I wasn't as calm as I looked. When you have 45,000 fans screaming at you every ball... \"It has been an absolute pleasure playing in front of this crowd. We have had a good run. It is the first final we have been in as New Zealand. \"We are a very level team, we will approach it as any other game. Nothing going in my mind when I hit the six. I don't even know where the ball went.\" South Africa, who themselves have never reached the final, have been accused of choking in past installments of the one-day competition. But that indictment cannot be leveled at it after one of the most dramatic matches in World Cup history. It had recovered from 114-3 in the 27th over to 216-3 after 38 overs thanks to some fierce hitting from captain AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis, before the rain came. With the game stopped for two hours, it finally reached 281 off its reduced 43 overs, du Plessis top scoring with 82. New Zealand's target was upgraded via Duckworth/Lewis, a calculation that takes into account how many overs were left and how many wickets had been lost, to 298. Kiwi skipper Brendan McCullum got it off to a fast start with a 22-ball half-century but after he was dismissed it wobbled, and needed 139 from 22 overs. But Elliott was the steadying hand, judging his innings perfectly. And though he was dropped in the penultimate over, he struck the telling blow off Steyn to seal victory and inflict a fourth semifinal defeat on South Africa. \"It was a great advertisement for cricket,\" McCullum said at the post-match presentation. \"Everybody involved will remember this for the rest", "summary": "New Zealand edge a thriller against South African to reach cricket World Cup final .

+{"article": "(CNN)Nigerians go to the polls Saturday to determine who will lead Africa's most populous nation. The stakes are high in this election as the nation faces intensified attacks by extremist group Boko Haram. With security catapulting into a key issue, which candidate will voters trust to keep them safe? As Nigeria decides, here's what you need to know: . Nigeria is home to about 173 million people and is considered a powerhouse in the region. Its stability is crucial to combating the growing risk of Islamist terrorists, who thrive on instability. As Boko Haram seeks to extend its tentacles with its recent pledge of allegiance to ISIS, Nigeria has teamed up with neighboring Chad and Cameroon in a counteroffensive against the terror group. And it appears to be working, with its military saying it has recaptured several key cities from the militants. The next leader will have to ensure the gains stay on track. As we have learned with ISIS in Iraq and Syria, any unaddressed local insurgency has the potential to spiral into an international problem. And let's face it, the world does not need another failing state, especially one with such a massive population. Nigeria is also one of Africa's largest oil producers and is a major supplier of crude oil to the United States. It hosts many international oil companies and workers. The key issues are power, security and the economy. But with the rise of Boko Haram, security has taken center stage. Just this year alone, the extremists have killed at least 1,000 civilians, Human Rights Watch says. One of the militants' most brutal acts was the kidnapping of nearly 300 schoolgirls last April, a majority of whom are still missing. Boko Haram has become increasingly brazen, seizing towns in bloody attacks and declaring them Islamic caliphates. Militants have bombed schools, churches and mosques; kidnapped women and children; and assassinated politicians and religious leaders alike. Although the current government is \"having successes here and there\" in its fight against Boko Haram, it's not winning the war against the terror group, says Ayo Johnson, a documentary filmmaker and analyst on African affairs. And despite recapturing some key towns from militants, he says, the government's big picture on security is still hazy. \"This elections will come down to who can protect Nigeria,\" Johnson says. \"Who can make Nigerians feel safe.\" Nigeria overtook South Africa as the region's largest economy last year. The government has made tremendous gains on the economy, Johnson says, but those gains have been buried under the constant threat of Boko Haram. But many complain that the country's vast wealth from oil exports does not trickle down to the average citizen. As many as 70% of Nigerians live below the poverty line and survive on less than a dollar a day, according to the CIA World Factbook. Nigeria is under economic pressure because of falling crude oil prices worldwide and a weakened currency. Corruption has been a hindrance to building a stable economy despite years of democracy, analysts say.

+{"article": "London (CNN)It might sound like a really old wives' tale, but a thousand-year-old Anglo-Saxon potion for eye infections may hold the key to wiping out the modern-day superbug MRSA, according to new research. The 10th-century \"eyesalve\" remedy was discovered at the British Library in a leather-bound volume of Bald's Leechbook, widely considered to be one of the earliest known medical textbooks. Christina Lee, an expert on Anglo-Saxon society from the School of English at the University of Nottingham, translated the ancient manuscript despite some ambiguities in the text. \"We chose this recipe in Bald's Leechbook because it contains ingredients such as garlic that are currently investigated by other researchers on their potential antibiotic effectiveness,\" Lee said in a video posted on the university's website. \"And so we looked at a recipe that is fairly straightforward. It's also a recipe where we are told it's the 'best of leechdoms' -- how could you not test that? So we were curious.\" Lee enlisted the help of the university's microbiologists to see if the remedy actually worked. The recipe calls for two species of Allium (garlic and onion or leek), wine and oxgall (bile from a cow's stomach) to be brewed in a brass vessel. \"We recreated the recipe as faithfully as we could. The Bald gives very precise instructions for the ratio of different ingredients and for the way they should be combined before use, so we tried to follow that as closely as possible,\" said microbiologist Freya Harrison, who led the work in the lab at the School of Life Sciences. The book included an instruction for the recipe to be left to stand for nine days before being strained through a cloth. Efforts to replicate the recipe exactly included finding wine from a vineyard known to have existed in the ninth century, according to Steve Diggle, an associate professor of sociomicrobiology, who also worked on the project. The researchers then tested their recipe on cultures of MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a type of staph bacterium that does not respond to commonly used antibiotic treatments. The scientists weren't holding out much hope that it would work -- but they were astonished by the lab results. \"What we found was very interesting -- we found that Bald's eyesalve is incredibly potent as an anti-Staphylococcal antibiotic in this context,\" Harrison said. \"We were going from a mature, established population of a few billion cells, all stuck together in this highly protected biofilm coat, to really just a few thousand cells left alive. This is a massive, massive killing ability.\" Diggle said the team also asked collaborators in the U.S. to test the recipe using an \"in vivo\" wound model -- meaning it's in a live organism -- \"and basically the big surprise was that it seems to be more effective than conventional antibiotic treatment.\" The scientists were worried they wouldn't be able to repeat the feat. But three more batches, made from scratch each time, have yielded the same results, Harrison said, and the salve appears to retain its potency for a long time after", "summary": "Researchers say a medieval remedy made of garlic, onion, wine, bile may be able to defeat MRSA superbug .

That's why we have continued to support Nina both during and after her illness, and it's why she is still a member of our team.\" According to the suit, the hospital chain failed to provide proper training to handle Ebola. Pham contracted the disease last fall while treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who started showing symptoms after arriving in Dallas from Liberia. \"In a cruel twist, after watching Mr. Duncan go through the horrific and painful course of the disease as she desperately tried to save his life, Nina herself was diagnosed with Ebola just two days after Mr. Duncan's life was taken by it,\" the lawsuit states. Because the hospital initially discharged Duncan when he arrived seeking treatment, it hurt his chances of beating the virus, the lawsuit says. \"Had THR heeded the CDC and other warnings and ensured its hospitals were ready for Ebola, Mr. Duncan would have had the best opportunity to possibly survive,\" it says. Pham also claims that the hospital failed to provide her with the necessary protective equipment, despite CDC warnings. \"Based on what she could learn from the Internet, on the first day she cared for Mr. Duncan, Nina put on a regular isolation gown covering her front and back, double gloves, a surgical mask with plastic shield and double booties.

+{"article": "(CNN)Around 2002, I was browsing in a used book store in Pittsburgh, and there it was: \"The Ethics of Star Trek\" by Judith Barad and Ed Robertson. Coincidentally, I was working at that time on integrating ethics into engineering education at Penn State University. I immediately bought the book, and after reading it through, realized that it could be the basis for an engaging course for our first-year engineering students. I first offered the course, The Ethics of Star Trek, in the fall of 2003 -- and I've been teaching it ever since. My children grew up watching the shows that followed the original series, which continued the tradition established by \"Star Trek\" creator Gene Roddenberry of tackling current events like war, genocide and pollution. It was good family entertainment that also prompted reflection on issues of the day. And it was this exploration of both space and the issues of the day that inspired me to try to apply these moral lessons to students. First there was the friendship between Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy, aka Bones. Plato described the human soul as composed of three aspects: spirit, reason and emotion. Internally, we each strive to balance these three forces. If we manage to do this well, we become a more virtuous person and attain a fourth virtue: justice. By placing Kirk (spirit), Spock (reason) and Bones (emotion) into challenging situations, we get to observe this interplay of these forces, and we get to hear them say what would otherwise be an internal dialogue. Why is Spock so critical here? Because Vulcans worship logic and rationality. Even though he's half human, he suppresses his emotions. It's no surprise that he is the science officer, since science is founded on rationality. Mr. Spock, then, can be trusted to give reasoned scientific analysis in any situation, uninfluenced by emotion or spirit. And since they wouldn't even be in space without science, Spock may be the most important character for the success of the adventure. So, how was all this applied in a classroom? The \"Star Trek class\" is a one-credit seminar for first-year students that meets once a week, one of about 60 different seminars offered by the College of Engineering. Students read relevant chapters in the book, and then every other week we watch a related \"Star Trek\" episode. In the other weeks, we sit in a large circle and have an open and often lively discussion about the ethical ideas and their application to the students' lives. One of the recurring plot elements in \"Star Trek\" is the discovery of new creatures. This often raises the question of the proper relationship and attitude toward these entities. Are they intelligent? Is their intent malicious? In one episode, \"Arena,\" the Enterprise engages in battle with an alien vessel, flown by the Gorn, that has attacked an Earth colony. In the heat of the battle, another unknown species, the Metrons, transports Kirk and the Gorn captain to a barren planet.

And if you think the only teens who sext are the ones engaging in high-risk behaviors, like drinking, using drugs or skipping school, keep reading. Studies suggest that sexting is more common than many parents might realize or want to admit. More than half the undergraduate students who took part in an anonymous online survey said they sent sexually suggestive texts when they were teenagers, according to the study by Drexel University, which was published last year by the Journal of Sexuality Research and Social Policy. Nearly 30% said they included photos in their sexts, and an astonishing 61% did not know that sending nude photos via text could be considered child pornography. Another study, this one by the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, found that while students who admitted sexting were 32% more likely to report having sex the next year, sexting by teenagers was not linked to risky sexual behavior over time. The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, found that teens who sexted were not more likely to have multiple sexual partners, use drugs or alcohol before sex or not use birth control. Sexting may be the new \"normal' when it comes to adolescent sexual behavior, the study concluded. \"There are now a few pieces of research, which are sort of converging on the same finding, namely that this is not a rare behavior,\" said Elizabeth Englander, a professor of psychology at Bridgewater State University and director of the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center. \"I'm not saying that it's healthy or that it's harmless, but it's not a situation where kids who are depressed are doing this or kids who have very bad self-esteem are doing it,\" said Englander, who researched sexting, as well as a host of other teenager behaviors, for her recent book \"Bullying and Cyberbullying.\" \"It appears to be widespread.

Here are answers to key questions about the escalating conflict in Yemen. Analysts say it can be summed up in one word: Iran. The Saudis \"perceive this as a threat from the Iranians,\" said CNN military analyst Lt. Col. Rick Francona. \"They look at the Houthis as nothing more than a proxy Iranian force, just like we can look at Hezbollah as a proxy Iranian force in southern Lebanon.\" Analysts say that Shiite-majority Iran and Sunni-dominated Saudi Arabia are locked in a strategic contest for influence across the Middle East. Now, the epic chess match has spread into Yemen, Saudi Arabia's southern neighbor. \"What they do not want is an Iranian-run state on their southern border, because they already feel they've got enough problems on their northern border,\" said Francona, a retired U.S. Air Force intelligence officer. Iran, northeast of Saudi Arabia, is considered to exercise powerful influence within the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in war-torn Syria and within the Shiite-led Iraqi government. The Saudis and other Gulf nations appeared to make an implicit reference to Iran in a statement about the start of the military campaign, describing the Houthi militias as \"backed by regional powers\" that are aiming for \"hegemony\" in Yemen. The Iranian government, for its part, condemned the offensive, calling for an immediate halt to Saudi-led airstrikes, state media reported. The chaos in Yemen appeared to be careering toward a full-blown civil war. The Houthis, whose power base is in northern Yemen, started protests against the central government in the capital, Sanaa, last summer. But they stepped up their campaign in September, seizing multiple government buildings. Attempts to strike political deals between the two sides had no effect, and the Houthis pushed into other areas of the country. The crisis intensified in January, when the Houthis displayed their clout by storming the presidential palace and putting President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi under house arrest. Hadi escaped to the southern city of Aden in February and declared that he remained the legitimate president. Since then, Hadi's supporters have repeatedly clashed with the Houthis and their allies, prompting the United Nations to warn of an impending civil war. The Houthis also have support from forces loyal to Hadi's predecessor, former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who resigned in 2012 after months of Arab Spring-inspired protests.

Sandusky, who has maintained his innocence, is appealing. \"The Kappa Delta Rho is a wake-up call,\" Clohessy said. \"But the Sandusky case should have been a wake-up call too.\" A former member of Kappa Delta Rho alerted police to the page, telling them in January that it had been used by members to share photos of \"unsuspecting victims, drug sales and hazing,\" according to a copy of a police affidavit.

+{"article": "(CNN)It is now generally accepted that Germanwings first officer Andreas Lubitz did indeed lock his captain out of the cockpit, put their airplane into a steep descent, and then sit back and wait calmly for the end to arrive. He did it with premeditation, having discarded a doctor's note that would have excused him from work that day. He joins the short and infamous list of airline pilots, a handful over the past two decades, who have used their airplanes to combine suicide with mass murder. Why is this thought at once so fascinating and so horrifying? It is because of the incompatibility between what we want to believe about flying and what we now see. Air travel presents itself as a highly controlled, stringently professional activity, stripped of every unpredictable element. Flight crews wear military-style uniforms not because they could not fly equally well in street clothes, but because uniforms convey to passengers a subliminal suggestion that they are of a different breed, as far from ordinary folk as a world-class athlete is from a duffer. Not only are pilots smarter and better-trained than ordinary people, those stripes and caps say, but they also must be less forgetful than we, less distractible, better rested, not prone to irritability or sadness or smoldering resentments. Like soldiers, they must be just a little bit robotic, efficient, brave and purified of the trash that infests the souls of common humans. Because they have earned their stripes, we feel safe -- even when it seems impossible for us to understand, or apparently for anyone to explain, what keeps those huge metal contraptions up in the air. The truth, as the voluminous history of airplane accidents reveals, is that pilots are not different from other people. They can be careless, lazy, inattentive and reckless. They can drink too much. When pilots talk among themselves, the mistakes, the close calls, the disasters averted by sheer luck are favorite topics. But if pilots slip up in little ways from time to time, the sweeping drama of aviation, in which they are the actors and we the audience, eclipses their faults. Besides, most flying is routine -- hours of boredom, the clich\u00e9 goes, punctuated by moments of sheer terror. The glitches have long since been ironed out, and the airplanes are so wonderfully engineered that they usually protect even the worst pilot from himself. Nor are pilots of a higher moral type than the rest of us. Despite the pieties they occasionally utter, pilots do not consciously shoulder the burden of hundreds of lives or feel more responsible for a full airplane than for an empty one. Pilots, by and large, are proud. They identify with the airplane; it is an extension and enlargement of the self, and the pilot feels the same motive to deliver it safely to its destination as you feel when driving a car on a crowded freeway. A pilot values a smooth landing because it demonstrates skill, not because the people in back are still alive.

But China's Great Firewall -- a massive Internet surveillance and content control system -- has, in many respects, been an unparalleled success. China has Internet companies worth billions of dollars and more web users than the population of the United States -- all while still being able to block information it deems counter to its interests. And now, some fear, the model is going global. \"If you are sitting in Beijing, what's the problem?\" asks Bill Bishop, China watcher and author of the Sinocism China newsletter in the latest episode of \"On China.\" \"You are still in power, you have 650 million Internet users, you have billions of dollars of economic value going to the Internet everyday, you've used the Internet to increase government transparency, investors love us and they can't throw enough money at our companies that have more than half a trillion dollars in market capitalization,\" says Bishop. Soon after China tip-toed onto the Internet in the late 1980s, it laid down the foundation of the Great Firewall but critics asserted that an Internet with Chinese characteristics would be no Internet at all. During a high-profile media tour in Beijing in 1999, MIT Media Lab founder and technology pundit Nicholas Negroponte declared that a \"healthy disrespect for authority\" was required for any successful Internet industry. A year later, then-U.S. President Bill Clinton announced that \"liberty will spread by cell phone and cable modem\" and that any attempt to control the Internet in China would be \"like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall.\" Well folks, it's now 2015 and China has done the impossible. It's nailed the Jell-O. China has proven it can have its Great Firewall and enjoy great prosperity too. Lokman Tsui, associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and former head of free expression at Google Asia-Pacific, says that most Chinese are happy with the status quo. \"Their lives have noticeably improved,\" he says. \"The model has worked so far.\" Currently home to the world's largest Internet market, China is also home to some of the world's most valuable Internet companies including e-commerce giant Alibaba and Tencent, now estimated to be worth $66.1 billion. The government has fostered the development of the Internet by offering incentives for local entrepreneurs while building walls to keep big Western rivals out. The ban on Western social media sites like YouTube and Facebook has also given home court advantage to China's own Internet stars like Youku and WeChat. And contrary to Negroponte's declaration, respecting the strict rules that govern China's Internet has not gotten in the way of innovation as Chinese tech developers reinterpret existing business models and build out new mobile apps. \"I haven't really come across anybody who would say that yes, because we don't have a free Internet, therefore we can't innovate,\" says Bishop. \"From Beijing's perspective, there's this fear that if we open up the Internet then it will be chaos. So if the cost is good-enough or almost-good-enough innovation... it seems like a pretty straight forward equation", "summary": "China's \"Great Firewall\" is a massive Internet surveillance and content control system .

He said they were being shot by police,\" Omar explained. He has not heard from his friend since. Omar is a student at the Ra\u00fal Isidro Burgos Rural Teacher Training College of Ayotzinapa, in Guerrero state. His friend is one of 43 students who were subjected to enforced disappearance in September of 2014. As the days and weeks passed, the Mexican authorities stalled and obfuscated. Despite worldwide attention on the issue, they have, for months, failed to properly investigate all lines of the case, especially the worrying allegations of complicity by armed forces. In January, I traveled to the Ayotzinapa college. There, in the college hall, surrounded by murals of Mexico's revolutionary leaders, I met the families of the disappeared students. For the past six months, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, as well as other relatives and community members, have been campaigning relentlessly, demanding answers from the authorities about what happened to their loved ones. It was an emotional and difficult meeting; there were tears of sadness and disappointment. Mothers and fathers spoke of counting the seconds since they last saw their sons, and expressed frustration at how they and their boys have been portrayed as troublemakers by the authorities and the media. These are people who have lived in poverty, whose communities have been historically abandoned by the state; for many, their missing son was the first of their families to go to school. Now, so many hopes and dreams have been shattered. I have witnessed all kinds of human tragedies, but there can be few things as painful as the torment of not knowing where a loved one is. The past months have been a roller-coaster for these families, and all of us who support and accompany their struggles. But a constant factor has been the Mexican government's failure to respond effectively and address these grave human rights violations. A prime example of this is how, on November 7, 2014, the authorities announced that human remains had been uncovered in a rubbish dump and a nearby river in Cocula, and the then-attorney general Jes\u00fas Murillo Karam announced weeks later that he was prepared to close the case. According to the prosecutor, he was satisfied that the findings of his office's investigation were sufficient proof of what happened. However, only one of the missing students has been identified through DNA tests. Other human remains are still being tested, and it seems that the whole investigation so far has been based only on the testimonies of three gang members. You don't have to be attorney general to know that this is far from conclusive proof. But amidst the sadness of the families I met, there was a calm and steely resolve.

+{"article": "(CNN)Nigerians are scheduled to head to the polls this Saturday in what will be the most closely watched elections in Africa this year. The poll will test the strength of an electoral process that has been marred by violence and flawed results throughout the country's short democratic history. The stakes are high, and there is a very real danger of prolonged violence across the country if the electorate questions the legitimacy of the outcome. The conduct of the elections will have long lasting repercussions on both Nigerians and the U.S.-Nigeria relationship. Against the backdrop of these elections is the ongoing threat and destabilization caused by Boko Haram, a group that has killed more than 10,000 people in northeastern Nigeria during its five-year campaign of terror, and kidnapped hundreds more, including young girls. These actions have shocked and horrified Americans. What many Americans may not recognize is how important the relationship with Nigeria is for the United States. We have economic and security interests that are at stake in this election, especially as Nigeria has been one of our strongest allies in the region since military rule there ended. In the last decade, the U.S. has trained and equipped thousands of Nigerian soldiers who have participated in peacekeeping missions in Mali, Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia, helping bring a measure of peace and stability to nations in the West Africa region. But now we need Nigeria to be a front-line ally against terrorism, particularly as Boko Haram pledges fidelity to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Meanwhile, Nigeria also has the largest economy in Africa and has the continent's largest population. Indeed, it has been identified as one in the next set of prominent emerging economies, making it a tantalizing target for U.S. private investment. It is also Africa's No. 1 oil producer, although an increasingly diversified economy -- for example in the agriculture sector -- provides a myriad of opportunities for more robust trade with the United States. Ultimately, a stable Nigeria will mean real economic opportunities for Americans -- a win-win proposition. Yet despite this potential, the uncertain electoral environment and other serious challenges stand in the way of a deeper bond. The reality is that endemic corruption remains an obstacle to more cooperation, especially when you consider the Nigerian military's poor performance fighting Boko Haram, despite security spending reportedly being around $6 billion last year -- clearly, much of the money meant for the military is not being spent on salaries, equipment or materiel. Similarly, weak governance remains an impediment to Nigeria's progress and enhanced ties with the United States. Nearly 70% of those in areas in the north live in absolute poverty, according to recent data, as compared to about 50% in southern areas of the country. Such failure on the part of the government to address poverty and inequality facilitates Boko Haram's recruitment effort and foments internal instability.

A sanitation worker in an Atlanta suburb already served two weekends in jail -- and faced several more until officials relented Monday-- after authorities charged him for doing his job too early in the morning. Kevin McGill, a garbage collector in Sandy Springs, Georgia, had been sentenced to a total of 30 days in jail for violating the city's noise ordinance that states that \"trash collection must be conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.\" He was cited one recent morning after starting work about 5 a.m. McGill said that when he appeared in court, he was \"stunned\" when he learned he'd have to serve time for collecting garbage too early. \"The solicitor said, 'It's automatic jail time,'\" McGill told CNN affiliate WSB. McGill said it was the first time he'd violated the ordinance, but the solicitor \"didn't want to hear nothing I had to say.\" \"I was shocked,\" McGill told WSB. City spokeswoman Sharon Kraun said McGill appeared in court with his employer and agreed to a plea deal, which included a 30-day jail sentence. The court said the sentence could be served on weekends, and Kraun confirmed Monday that McGill already spent two weekends behind bars. After news of McGill's punishment went viral, the solicitor's office announced Monday that prosecutors would amend his sentence, saying in a statement, \"The actions of the court with regards to Mr. McGill's sentence for violating the city's noise laws was disproportionate to a first-time offense.\" \"As such, the court has amended its sentence to time served and further probation (is) suspended,\" the statement said. Chief prosecutor Bill Riley told WSB that the jail sentence was his idea because, he said, \"fines don't seem to work.\" \"The only thing that seems to stop the activity is actually going to jail,\" McGill said. Still, McGill said being locked up with \"real criminals\" was hard, and so was being away from his family. \"I just want this to be over with,\" he told WSB before getting word of the \"time served\" adjustment. \"I'm away from my family, my wife, and she's got to take care of the two little boys and I have four dogs.\"", "summary": "Kevin McGill was initially ordered to serve 30 days in jail for picking up trash too early in the morning .

The Spanish double world champion was ruled out of the opening race in Australia by doctors treating him for the effects of a high speed crash. Alonso has been training hard for his planned comeback at the Malaysian Grand Prix in nine days' time and used the McLaren simulator to hone his mental preparations. The CNN-sponsored team announced the news on Twitter, showing McLaren sporting director Eric Boullier and Alonso at the team's headquarters in Woking, England. Alonso was concussed and airlifted to hospital after losing control of his McLaren at the penultimate winter test at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya on February 22. The 33-year-old watched the Melbourne race from his home in Dubai after doctors indicated returning to racing three weeks after a high impact was too risky. McLaren had explained that Alonso's \"accident was caused by the unpredictably gusty winds at that part of the circuit at that time.\" After getting back to race preparation in the simulator, McLaren tweeted that it had been a good day for Alonso, \"focusing on operational work and practicing qualifying and race procedures.\" The media enjoyed a guessing game in Australia about just how Alonso might have reacted to events in Melbourne, where Lewis Hamilton and his mighty Mercedes dominated while Alonso's McLaren teammate Jenson Button finished in last place. Dane Kevin Magnussen, who was deputizing for the recuperating Spaniard, was unable to start the race because of engine problems on his way to the starting grid. Alonso left Ferrari at the end of the 2014 season to rejoin McLaren, which is experiencing teething as it renews technical partnership with Japanese engine manufacturer Honda for 2015. In his response on Twitter, Alonso chose to focus on congratulating Spanish rookie Carlos Sainz, who finished ninth on his Toro Rosso debut and who was inspired by Alonso as he plotted his own racing career. \"Congratulations to @carlosainz for the great weekend in Australia!! And of course to Hamilton and Mercedes for the win!! See you in Malaysia,\" Alonso's message read. Meanwhile, Boullier is focused on finding improvements in the car's pace and performance for the next race on Sepang's sizzling circuit, which is also very physically demanding on the drivers. \"We know we have a mountain to climb as far as performance is concerned,\" the Frenchman said in a McLaren statement. \"In two weeks' time we'll be racing in Sepang [Malaysia], where the weather is bound to be extremely hot and humid. \"I'm not going to be rash enough to predict a form upswing in so short a time frame, but we'll be working flat out between now and then to make performance and reliability gains in any and every way we can, of that you may be 100 per cent certain.\"", "summary": "Fernando Alonso steps up comeback preparations in McLaren simulator .

June made dinner, of course, and Ward and Wally and the Beav sat at the table and ate. As I recall, June usually cleaned up. Maybe once or twice the boys helped with dishes. Maybe. I would watch the black and white show during dinner, sitting on the couch with a plate of food on my lap that had not been prepared by my own mother. My mother was in her generation's first cohort of \"working moms.\" She had a successful career as an executive at AT&T and then Lucent Technologies. She left for work early each morning, but was always home by five or six -- in time to spend time with me, not to cook. My dad also had a full-time job, and across the entirety of my life, I don't recall him so much as opening a can of soup. He's only recently learned to use the microwave.

Of those cases, 18 allegedly involve support to ISIS. Spc. Hasan Edmonds, 22, was arrested Wednesday night at Chicago Midway International Airport while attempting to travel to Egypt to eventually join ISIS, according to Assistant Attorney General for National Security John P. Carlin and other federal officials said. His cousin, Jonas \"Yunus\" Edmonds, 29, was arrested at his home in Aurora in connection with an alleged plot to carry out an armed attack on an unspecified U.S. military facility in northern Illinois where Hasan Edmonds had been training. The two U.S. citizens were charged, in criminal complaints filed in U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, with one count each of conspiring to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization. The cousins made an initial appearance Thursday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheila Finnegan. Why is ISIS so successful at luring Westerners? After an undercover FBI informant posing as an ISIS fighter outside the United States sent Hasan Edmonds a Facebook \"friend\" request in late 2014, he began to receive private messages from him indicating that he and his cousin were willing to travel to overseas and fight for ISIS, according to the court documents. \"InshAllah we will complete our task or be grants [sic] shahada [Arabic for martyr] I look forward to the training,\" Hasan Edmonds is alleged to have told the informant in January. \"I am already in the American kafir army and now I wish only to serve in the army of Allah alongside my true brothers.\" They continued to communicate over the following weeks, with Hasan Edmonds expressing concerns about Jonas Edmonds' criminal record and whether he would be allowed to travel overseas. \"They try hard to keep people like him trapped in America,\" he told the undercover FBI employee. \"I know several Muslims have been caught attempting the Turkey route so tell me why not many Americans take the Egypt route. I am open to either way,\" Hasan Edmonds told the informant, according to court documents. On February 2, Hasan Edmonds contacted the undercover informant again and said his cousin was willing to carry out an attack on U.S. soil. \"Honestly we would love to do something like the brother in Paris did,\" Hasan Edmonds stated, referring to the French terror attacks in January in which 16 people were killed. Prosecutors said Jonas Edmonds contacted the informant to arrange travel accommodations. \"Number one on my list is Mosul,\" he stated, referring to Iraq's second-largest city. \"If I find myself stuck here [in the United States], I intend to take advantage of being so close to the kuffar.\"", "summary": "Two cousins from Illinois charged with conspiring to support ISIS .

As the Boko Haram trucks carrying them began to speed away to the militants' territory, she and her friend bravely jumped, barely escaping with their lives. She was one of the lucky ones. School, she says, from that day on became a reminder of what almost happened. A place she never wanted to return. But now she is back and the change in her is remarkable. She dreams of remaining in the classroom as a teacher, so that just like her tutors, she can influence and inspire young minds. Studying with her here are 21 other girls from Chibok. They, too, escaped Boko Haram. Like hundreds of others across Nigeria's North East, they were targeted simply for going to school.

I will become rich and never go back to be a farmer again.\" The apparent beheadings then follow on the video. SITE said the video, which included Arabic, English and French subtitles, was posted online via Twitter and \"borrows certain elements from productions\" of beheadings by ISIS. The video was posted by the media division of Boko Haram, SITE said. Although this is the first purported beheading video Boko Haram posted online.\u200e the group has previously issued more detailed and extremely violent beheading videos directly to journalists through intermediaries. Unlike the video posted Monday, previous ones have shown the actual decapitations. \u200eIn October 2014, Boko Haram handed out a 10-minute video showing the decapitation of a Nigerian military pilot the group said it had seized a month earlier after shooting down his fighter jet during a mission against Boko Haram in northeast Nigeria. \u200eIn April 2014, the Islamist group released 16-minute video showing what it said was the beheading of a soldier its fighters captured in a battle in Sambisa forest\u200e, the group's main enclave. In February 2014, another video showing the beheading of an alleged informant who led the military to a Boko Haram camp in Sambisa forest during an offensive was issued by the group. And in February 2010, Boko Haram released a 12-minute video in which two policemen were beheaded in an undisclosed location. Those videos all ended with a speech from an \"executioner\" warning that the group would carry out similar punishment for anyone it captures supporting the Nigerian government against it. \u200eObservers of Boko Haram, which has inflicted years of terror on northern Nigeria, note that its actions in the past six months have frequently mimicked those of ISIS -- from punishments such as stoning and beheading of its victims to taking territory and an increasingly sophisticated use of social media that's very much in the ISIS \"style.\" Jacob Zenn, who follows Boko Haram's operations and propaganda closely, recently told CNN, \"It's clear Boko Haram is leaning toward ISIS in terms of doctrine, ideology and an emphasis on", "summary": "A video posted by Boko Haram shows the apparent beheading of two men .

+{"article": "(CNN)The first state visit to the United States of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah was supposed to take place in early March. But the visit was delayed because Republican leaders had invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress during the same time period. According to two Afghan government officials involved in the planning for the visit, the Afghan government believed American media attention would be largely focused on Netanyahu, so the first U.S. visit of the new Afghan president was delayed by two weeks, which is a useful reminder that there is a sound reason why congressional leaders shouldn't unilaterally extend invitations to foreign leaders. Ghani and Abdullah arrived in Washington on Sunday and have had much to discuss with the Obama administration. For the Afghan government, the timetable of President Barack Obama's proposed troop withdrawal is the key issue. Obama says that the last American troops will leave Afghanistan at the end of 2016. This happens to roughly coincide with the end of his second term in office and also fulfills his campaign promise to wind down America's post-9/11 wars. Ghani is clearly uncomfortable with the pace of this U.S. troop withdrawal, telling CBS' \"60 Minutes\" in January, \"deadlines should not be dogmas\" and that there should be a \"willingness to reexamine\" the withdrawal date. Is Obama's withdrawal plan a wise policy? Short answer: Of course not. One only has to look at the debacle that has unfolded in Iraq after the withdrawal of U.S. troops at the end of 2011 to have a sneak preview of what could take place in an Afghanistan without some kind of residual American presence. Without American forces in the country, there is a strong possibility Afghanistan could host a reinvigorated Taliban allied to a reinvigorated al Qaeda, not to mention ISIS, which is gaining a foothold in the region. Needless to say, this would be a disaster for Afghanistan. But it would also be quite damaging to U.S. interests to have some kind of resurgent al Qaeda in the country where the group trained the hijackers for the 9/11 attacks. It would also be disastrous for the Democratic Party, should it win the presidency in 2016, to be the party that \"lost\" Afghanistan. After all, the Democratic Party is viewed by some as weaker on national security than the Republicans and it is inevitable that without some kind of residual American presence in Afghanistan, al Qaeda would gain sufficient strength to launch an attack from the Afghan-Pakistan border region against American interests somewhere in the world. On Tuesday, President Obama announced that the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan would be slowed and the remaining 9,800 troops would stay there through the end of 2015. But this welcome development does not change the central issue, which is the Obama administration's withdrawal date of December 2016 for all U.S. forces. Merely because the Obama administration will be almost out the door at the end of 2016 doesn't mean that suddenly at the same time that the Taliban will", "summary": "President Obama is planning withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by end of 2016 .

Other areas will have to worry about heavy rain dumped by the slow moving front. Cities in southeast Missouri, western Kentucky, northern Tennessee and western Pennsylvania might get 2 to 4 inches. Rain will transition to snowfall across many states as colder air pushes in behind the front as it moves to the southeast.

+{"article": "(CNN)An investigation by the Charlottesville, Virginia, Police Department has found no \"substantive basis\" to support the allegations of a University of Virginia student that she was gang raped at a fraternity there. The allegations were first revealed in a story in Rolling Stone magazine that was initially widely circulated and then increasingly widely doubted. \"That doesn't mean that something terrible didn't happen to Jackie\" on the day in question, Police Chief Tim Longo said regarding the UVA student and her allegations. And Longo said he welcomes any further information that may still be out there. That said, there remains one thing we certainly do know \u2014 that gang rapes just like what Jackie originally alleged do happen -- too often, and all over America. Here's one measure: Today the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics released a new report showing that 80% of college rapes and sexual assaults go unreported to police, and 67% of such attacks by non-students go unreported. It would be a terrible and infuriating mistake to use the confusion around Jackie's story as a convenient way to discount this reality. While Rolling Stone's reporting was clearly shoddy, for example, some writers who initially poked holes in Jackie's story did so for ideological motives. For instance, even before the reporting lapses were revealed, conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg called Jackie's story unbelievable. \"It is not credible,\" Goldberg wrote in the Los Angeles Times. \"I don't believe it.\" Instead, Goldberg insisted, Jackie's account was \"a convenient conversation for an expos\u00e9 of rape culture,\" something, incidentally, Goldberg also doubts to be real. \"'Rape culture' suggests that there is a large and obvious belief system that condones and enables rape as an end in itself in America,\" Goldberg later wrote in National Review. It's all hogwash, says Goldberg, alleging that the very idea of \"rape culture\" is just \"an elaborate political lie intended to strengthen the hand of activists.\" In other words, whatever the reality of what happened to Jackie, Goldberg and others were skeptical because they simply don't believe rapes like that happen with the participation of groups of assailants, let alone the complicity of bystanders. This is where they're mistaken. On October 24, 2009, in Richmond, California, a 15-year-old girl was repeatedly raped by a group of young men in a courtyard outside their high school homecoming dance. Six assailants were eventually tried and ultimately pleaded guilty or were convicted. Over two hours, as the assault occurred, as many as 20 other people watched. \"As people announced over time that this was going on, more people came to see, and some actually participated,\" said Lt. Mark Gagan of the Richmond Police Department. The witnesses didn't report the crime to police. On August 12, 2012, a 16-year-old girl who was incapacitated by alcohol was raped by two high school football players in Steubenville, Ohio.

+{"article": "(CNN)The attack on Mark Lippert, the U.S. ambassador to South Korea, allegedly by a knife-wielding Korean progressive activist at a breakfast meeting in Seoul, was a rare and shocking reminder of the ongoing conflict that continues to divide the Korean Peninsula. Despite the ever-present backdrop of inter-Korean tensions, security in downtown Seoul is typically quite relaxed. But on Thursday morning local time, the alleged assailant, who has been tied to Korean nationalist and anti-U.S. protests, reportedly shouted his opposition to annual U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises and called for Korean reunification as he cut the ambassador on the face and hand with a 10-inch knife. This breakfast meeting with Lippert was taking place at a building directly across the street from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. And the scene was probably not too different from a similar breakfast meeting I attended with the ambassador at a downtown hotel only a week before the attack. Lippert moved freely without a security detail or security screenings at the entrance to the venue, and was accompanied by only one or two embassy staff. Indeed, even since 9/11, it is relatively easy to enter most large buildings in downtown Seoul, and security procedures have been generally perfunctory. In part this is because direct confrontations between South Korean citizens and U.S. government representatives in South Korea have been rare, and violent political attacks are unusual. True, there have been periodic group protests against the U.S. military presence in South Korea or against U.S. policy. But these protests have generally been conducted peacefully, a far cry from the environment of the 1980s, when pro-democracy protesters against a then-authoritarian South Korean government attacked and burned U.S. government facilities. Yet although downtown Seoul has been relatively safe and public security has often been lax, violent attacks on public figures in South Korea are in fact not unprecedented. The attack on Lippert brings to mind a May 2006 attack by a knife-wielding assailant on Park Geun-hye, South Korea's current President, while she was campaigning in local elections in Daejeon. (Her calm demeanor despite receiving a facial laceration contributed to her reputation as a politician and future President who is cool in the midst of a crisis.) The attack on Park wasn't the only time the dangers inherent in South Korea's lax security environment have been exposed: Back in 2008, a lone arsonist burned to the ground Seoul's unguarded Namdaemun, or South Gate, a South Korean cultural treasure. And of course, there is the backdrop of the ongoing inter-Korean confrontation, which plays out within Korean democracy in the form of a bitter confrontation between progressive and conservative factions. There is speculation that some members of South Korea's progressive movement have ties with North Korea, and some of them have allegedly been somewhat willing to foment violence to stir up conflict within South Korean society. Most recently, some members of South Korea's left-leaning United Progressive Party, which had won seats in South Korea's National Assembly, were disbarred and convicted of plotting a violent insurrection, leading to the dissolution of the party itself.

+{"article": "Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN)A siege that started with gunmen detonating a bomb and spraying bullets in a hotel in Somalia ended Saturday with at least 20 people dead, authorities said. Among the dead was a Somali-American woman, Fahia Bashir Nur, 45, of Alexandria, Virginia, according to her uncle, Yusuf Kheire. He said Nur and her mother were dining in the hotel when the attack began. The mother lost an arm in the attack and was hospitalized. The attack, which lasted hours, began when gunmen raided the hotel in Mogadishu on Friday evening. Yusuf Mohamed Ismail Bari-Bari, Somalia's permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, was among those killed in the attack, the Somali government said. \"He will be remembered for his strong personal commitment to protecting and promoting human rights for all,\" Nicholas Kay, special representative of the United Nations Secretary-General to Somalia, said of Bari-Bari. Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility. The attack started about 5 p.m. local time when a car bomb exploded at the hotel's entrance, according to witness Aden Hussein, who said he was nearby when the blast happened. Gunmen then stormed into the hotel and opened fire, Hussein said. They overpowered the hotel's security guards, said police Capt. Ahmed Abdi, adding that the gunbattle between Somali special forces and the attackers lasted at least 17 hours. One of the attackers, who was wearing a belt with explosives, blew himself up inside the hotel, police Capt. Ahmed Abdi said. Some members of the terror group \"stormed into the first, second and third floors of the hotel where rooms are located and held several people hostage,\" according to a statement from the African Union Commission in Somalia, a peacekeeping mission. The Makka Al Mukarama hotel, located along a highway leading to the country's presidential palace, is popular with lawmakers, journalists, business people and Somalis returning home from abroad. Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud condemned the attack as a \"heinous and inhuman act\" in an interview with state-run Radio Mogadishu during an official visit to Egypt. In a statement, Somali Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke said Al-Shabaab's \"talk of 'legitimate targets' and 'justification'\" exposes \"the sham logic behind their lust for terror.\" \"These terrorists contradict Islam and betray Somalia,\" he said. The injured, along with the bodies of the dead, could not be removed from the hotel until after the hours-long gunfight. More than 10 people, most of them Kenyan nationals who worked at the hotel, were rescued, police said. Al-Shabaab said it targeted the hotel because its guests are spies and government officials. The terror group has been active in Somalia for years. Initially, its goal was implementing a stricter form of Islamic law, or Sharia, by warring against the Somali government. It has since shifted its focus to launching terror attacks in Somalia and beyond. \"We reiterate again that there will be no safe haven for the crusaders and apostates in Somalia, and that our attacks on them will continue until the enemy of Allah (is) defeated and his law is implemented fully in Somalia,\" the", "summary": "Somali-American Fahia Bashir Nur of Virginia was killed in the attack, her uncle says .

+{"article": "(CNN)New Zealand police have revealed a threat to contaminate infant formula and other dairy formula with poison, in an apparent attempt to blackmail the government over its pest control policies. Police appealed for public help to find the alleged blackmailer, at a press conference in Wellington Tuesday. They revealed an investigation had been underway since November, when anonymous letters were sent to giant dairy cooperative Fonterra and a farmers' lobby group. The letters were accompanied by small packages of milk powder containing a concentrated form of 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate), a poison used by New Zealand's Department of Conservation to control introduced pest species such as possums and rats. The letters threatened to contaminate infant and other formula with 1080 unless New Zealand stopped using the poison for pest control by the end of March, police said in a statement. The letters said the threat would be made public if the demand was not met. New Zealand's heavy use of 1080 -- it uses about 80% of the world's manufactured stocks, according the country's Environmental Protection Agency -- has been a controversial issue, with conservationists and farmers generally supporting the measure, and some hunters and animal rights activists opposed. Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy said the threat amounted to \"eco-terrorism.\" Prime Minister John Key said at a press conference that police had advised that there was a low likelihood of the threat being carried out. Meanwhile, government officials said supplies of formula had not been contaminated, and urged consumers to continue using the products. \"We are confident that New Zealand infant and other formula is just as safe today as it was before this threat was made,\" said Scott Gallacher, Deputy Director-General of the Ministry for Primary Industries. \"People should keep using it as they always have.\" He said more than 40,000 samples had been taken without finding a trace of 1080, and food security measures had also been boosted in response. These included a strengthened security measures in retail stores and a boosted presence at manufacturing sites, and enhanced milk and product testing, including the introduction of a test for 1080. \"This criminal threat is designed to cause fear in order to generate a political outcome. It is using food as a vehicle but should not undermine confidence in our world-class food safety system or in any manufacturer,\" he said. He urged consumers to check formula packaging for any signs of tampering as a result of the threat. Police said an Auckland-based investigation team was pursuing a number of lines of inquiry in locating the source of the threat, but the time was right to appeal to the public. \"Whilst there is a possibility that this threat is a hoax, we must treat the threat seriously and a priority investigation is underway,\" said Deputy Commissioner Mike Clement. \"You might be aware of someone who has strong views on the 1080 issue and made threats, or has discussed how to access supplies of 1080.\" He also called on the alleged blackmailer to come forward. \"The letter writer may not have really considered the", "summary": "New Zealand police reveal threat to poison infant formula .

Oscar-nominated Cumberbatch, who is to star as Richard III in an upcoming TV adaptation, will read a verse penned for the service by Britain's poet laureate, Carol Ann Duffy. The 14-line verse, titled simply \"Richard,\" will remain a closely-guarded secret until the service of reinterment at Leicester Cathedral on Thursday. All the organizers will say is that it is a \"meditation on the impact of [Richard's] finding and on the legacy of his story.\" They also have revealed that it contains the phrase \"grant me the carving of my name,\" recognizing that Richard III's grave was lost for centuries, with no tombstone to mark its location. In a statement, Duffy said it was \"a privilege to be involved, in a small way\" in the farewell to Richard, the last English King to die in battle, 530 years ago. Cumberbatch's reading will form part of a service of reinterment for the medieval monarch, which will be led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. Key figures in the rediscovery and identification of the royal remains, including historians, archaeologists, scientists and relatives are expected to attend, along with members of the public who won a ballot for tickets. Queen Elizabeth II has written a message to be included in the order of service for the event, at which she will be represented by the Countess of Wessex. On Sunday, tens of thousands of people lined the streets of Leicester and its surrounding villages as Richard III's coffin was carried out to the site of the Battle of Bosworth, where he was killed in 1485, and back in a procession. Since then, people have queued around the block to see it lying \"in repose\" in the cathedral where it will be reinterred in a tomb made of pale Swaledale fossil limestone from Yorkshire, set on a plinth of black Kilkenny marble. Richard III's remains were found in August 2012 by archaeologists searching for the remains of the Greyfriars Monastery, which had been covered over by a council car park. The skeleton has been studied at the University of Leicester ever since, allowing scientists to discover a host of details about Richard III's life -- and death -- by analyzing the bones.

+{"article": "(CNN)The collapse of marriage in our poorest communities -- and its tragic impact -- is a familiar story. But increasingly, marriage is becoming a marker of class privilege in America, something increasingly reserved for the affluent. If progressives want to tackle the scourge of inequality, then the retreat from marriage is an issue they can't ignore. The reality is that the retreat from marriage is pervading the working middle class -- the two-thirds of Americans without a college degree. This is occurring even as in upscale America, marital bonds remain comparatively strong. \"This is the marriage gap, and it's something new in America,\" declares a manifesto on \"marriage opportunity\" unveiled in a recent Washington Monthly cover story. It was penned by four astute social and political analysts, David Blankenhorn, Jonathan Rauch, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead and Bill Galston. (Full disclosure: I'm a signer of their statement.) \"Over the past several decades, the norm of marriage has eroded across all economic and educational classes, but much less among the elite,\" they write. \"But for millions of middle- and lower-class Americans, marriage is increasingly beyond reach, creating more fractured and difficult family lives, more economic insecurity for single parents, less social mobility for those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder, more childhood stress, and a fraying of our common culture.\" True, overall U.S. marriage rates have fallen from 72% of U.S. adults in 1960 to just 51% in 2012, according to The Economist. But drill a little deeper into the data, and a marital class divide emerges. Less than half of men with high school degrees are married, compared with 76% of men with college degrees. The pattern is similar among women, except that those with graduate degrees have somewhat lower marriage rates than those with four-year college degrees. And because the college-educated tend to look for mates with similar education and earning power, their unions push them even higher up the income scale -- further widening the economic gulf between marital haves and have-nots. Marriage in America, it seems, is becoming another luxury item for economic elites to enjoy. So why should we worry? \"Declining marriage rates may not be concerning on their own, but while Americans are forgoing marriage, they are not forgoing childbearing,\" say Isabel Sawhill and Joanna Venator of the Brookings Institution. More than 40% of children are born outside wedlock today (including nearly three-quarters of black children). And a raft of social research shows that children who grow up in married, two-parent families do better in school and in life than those who don't. It's true that more children are being raised by cohabiting couples, but in the United States (unlike some European countries) these relationships tend to be unstable and short-lived. Some see the decline of marriage as stemming from a tectonic cultural shift -- the rise of feminism and the surge of women into work -- that has blurred the old division of familial labor between male breadwinners and female homemakers.

+{"article": "(CNN)Researchers say Dr. Ben Carson may be a brain surgeon, but science shows he's dead wrong about how sexual orientation works. Wednesday on CNN, Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and potential Republican presidential candidate, said he \"absolutely\" believes being gay is a choice. But scientists say decades of research overwhelmingly shows sexual preference is inborn, not a choice. \"It doesn't seem to be the social environment, it doesn't seem to be the parents or peers that make you gay,\" said Gerulf Rieger, a lecturer in the department of psychology at the University of Essex in England. \"It seems to be something that comes from within.\" \"Sexual orientation is biologically determined,\" added Cynthia Struckman-Johnson, a professor of psychology at the University of South Dakota. \"I don't think any educated person aware of the research would argue differently.\" In a statement Wednesday, Carson apologized for what he said on CNN, and softened his words, saying the verdict is still out on whether people are born with their sexual preference. \"I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation,\" he added. While science is seldom definitive about anything, especially something as complicated as why we love who we love, researchers say the preponderance of the evidence shows sexual orientation is not chosen. They point to studies showing children are aware of their sexual orientation at a young age. Plus, genetic studies suggest homosexuality runs in families. Finally, researchers have found that the very structure of the brain -- specifically, regions of the hypothalamus -- differs in gay and heterosexual men. \"Ask a bunch of straight guys [if they could switch to being gay] and they would tell you, 'Are you kidding me?\" Rieger said. \"So the other way around doesn't work either.\" So what was Carson's scientific support for his argument that being gay is a choice? He pointed to prisons. \"A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight - and when they come out, they're gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question,\" Carson told CNN's Chris Cuomo. Experts on sexual activity in prisons challenged the very premise of Carson's statement, calling it \"preposterous\" and \"appalling.\" \"To, in any way, suggest that a person would go in as a heterosexual and then somehow become a homosexual as a result, that's simply preposterous. There's no evidence to support that,\" said Robert Dumond, a mental health counselor who's testified to the Department of Justice about rape in prison. Prisoners do engage in homosexual practices, but that doesn't mean they've gone from straight to gay, the experts said. Prisoners are often raped, they say, or coerced to engage in sex in exchange for protection from violent prisoners. \"They're physically forced or forced through blackmail to engage in sex,\" Struckman-Johnson said. \"To have someone say this is chosen is just showing such great disregard for what we know about the world of sexual assault in prison.\" Opinion: Prison doesn't make people 'come out' gay .

Ozgecan Aslan's body was found last month, burned and abandoned, just days after her family reported her missing. She allegedly fought off a sexual assault before being killed by the driver of a bus she'd taken to go home. Her death sparked widespread protests. \"A country woke up,\" Aslan's father, Mehmet Aslan, told CNN in a phone interview. \"There was no way for so many people to come together over a single killing.

According to Hulya Gulbahar, a Turkish activist and women's rights lawyer, laws are irregularly applied. \"In a majority of Turkey's female abuse cases, the perpetrators receive mitigations in their sentences due to court's detection of consent granted by the victim,\" Gulbahar said. \"In some cases, wearing a miniskirt or some cleavage got the woman's rapist mitigation in his punishment, while in some cases the consent was attached to her wearing red.\" It's unclear what will happen in Aslan's case. Three suspects have been arrested in her death, Turkey's semiofficial news agency Anadolu has reported.

Hernandez has been charged with murder and has pleaded not guilty to orchestrating the death of Lloyd, the boyfriend of Shayanna Jenkins' sister and semipro football player who was found dead June 17, 2013. Hernandez has also pleaded not guilty to a gun and ammunition charge. His co-defendants, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, have also pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately. For the first time, Shayanna Jenkins told jurors on Monday the box smelled \"skunky,\" making her think it was marijuana. Her new description came during cross-examination. Earlier, she told prosecutors during direct examination that she didn't know what was in the box, said Hernandez never told her, nor did she look. Jenkins testified Friday that on the day after Lloyd's slaying, her fiance called her with instructions that it was important to discard the box. On Monday, she described his tone as \"normal\" when he made the request and said she had never been asked by prosecutors what she thought the box smelled like. \"Were you ever asked what you thought was in the box?\" asked Hernandez lawyer Charles Rankin about her previous testimony to the grand jury. \"Never,\" said Jenkins. \"Were you ever asked if it had any smell to it?\" he asked. \"Never,\" she replied. Jenkins' revelation contradicts the prosecution's previous suspicion that the weapon used in the slaying was in the box. No weapon in the case has been recovered. Home surveillance video played inside the courtroom Monday showed Shayanna Jenkins hoisting a black garbage bag from her home and putting it in a trunk of her sister's car. At the time, Shaneah Jenkins had been at her home grieving over the death of her boyfriend. Shaneah Jenkins was present in court on Monday and cried while listening to the testimony and watching the video of her sister Shayanna carrying the trash bag. The two sisters now barely speak to each other. Shaneah Jenkins sits next to Lloyd's mother in the courtroom on the opposite side of Hernandez's defense team. After concealing the box with her daughter's clothing, Shayanna Jenkins said she disposed of it at a location she cannot remember. \"I found a random dumpster, and put it in there,\" she told Bristol County District Attorney William McCauley. When questioned about her inability to remember the dumpster's location and other details, Shayanna Jenkins said she had been unsettled at the time. \"I was nervous. I had to comfort my sister. Everyone's emotions were on me, and it was a form of breaking down at that point,\" she said.

+{"article": "(CNN)British law enforcement officers have arrested a 23-year-old man suspected of hacking the U.S. Department of Defense and swiping data from a satellite-based system used by the military to communicate with people worldwide, UK authorities said Friday. This arrest was one of 56 made this week in 20 separate operations conducted by regional organized crime units, Metropolitan Police officers and others. The others caught range from a family of suspected fraudsters and a 16-year-old believed to be behind hundreds of cyberattacks, according to Britain's National Crime Agency. Yet the arrest that the agency highlighted most was the one that targeted the world's most powerful last June 15. On that date, someone hacked into the U.S. Department of Defense's servers and got data related to its \"Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services\" system. This included contact information -- including their names, emails and phone numbers -- of about 800 people and info on approximately 34,400 devices, the National Crime Agency reports. None of the hacked material was considered confidential, nor did it apparently include \"sensitive data\" or anything that \"compromises U.S. national security interests,\" the British agency said. Still, the person responsible for the hack cryptically played it up big in a post to Pastebin, a website that allows for anonymous posts. Alongside screenshots of the dashboard used to control the Defense Department database, the hacker wrote, \"We smite the Lizards, LizardSquad your time is near\" in apparent reference to a notorious band of black-hat hackers. \"We're in your bases, we control your satellites,\" the hacker adds. \"The missiles shall rein (sic) upon they who claim alliance, watch your heads... We're one, we're many, we lurk in the dark, we're everywhere and anywhere.\" The 23-year-old suspected hacker was not identified by name, with the UK National Crime Agency saying only that he was arrested Wednesday morning in Sutton Coldfield,a Birmingham suburb in the West Midlands region. The U.S. military has been targeted by hackers before. Some of those actions have been blamed on ISIS sympathizers, like the January temporary takeover of the U.S. Central Command's Twitter account and YouTube page. And last year, U.S. federal officials accused four men of hacking into computer networks of the U.S. military and Microsoft and stealing more than $100 million worth of software, some it related to the video game \"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.\" There's no indication that the June hack had anything to do with ISIS or involved the theft of anything of much monetary value. Still, hacks from groups such as Lizard Squad and Anonymous can have a significant impact. Jeffrey Thorpe, special agent in charge with the U.S. Department of Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS), said in the UK government statement that \"this arrest underscores DCIS commitment and the joint ongoing efforts among international law enforcement to stop cyber criminals in their tracks.\" \"DCIS special agents will use every tool at their disposal to pursue and bring to justice those who attack the Department of Defense,\" Thorpe said.

The university said Levi Pettit and Parker Rice encouraged their brothers to sing the lyrics, which included multiple references to the \"n-word\" and mention of lynching. The two young men were expelled. And the fraternity was shut down. What caught my attention was the reaction of the families \u2014 the Pettits and the Rices. They couldn't have been more different. That convinced me that this story wasn't just about racist and juvenile behavior, but also about parenting. Who raised these kids? And shouldn't they have been taught better? At some point, didn't it occur to these young men that they were not only shaming themselves, but also their families? In Dallas, protesters gathered outside the Rice home, holding signs with messages such as: \"Racism is taught.\" Parker Rice issued a statement, which was delivered to the Dallas Morning News by his father, Bob Rice. In it, Parker apologized for actions that he called \"wrong and reckless.\" However, Bob Rice had no response to the controversy. He told reporters: \"At the moment, we are not doing interviews.\" That is not good enough. Parenthood isn't like politics. It doesn't come with a \"no comment\" button we can press when the job gets uncomfortable. We haven't heard from Levi Pettit. His parents, Brody and Susan, addressed their son's misbehavior in a statement, which was given to the newspaper and posted on the family's website. It read in part: . \"As parents of Levi, we love him and care for him deeply. He made a horrible mistake, and will live with the consequences forever. However, we also know the depth of our son's character. He is a good boy, but what we saw in those videos is disgusting. While it may be difficult for those who only know Levi from the video to understand, we know his heart, and he is not a racist. ... \"Of course, we are sad for our son -- but more importantly, we apologize to the community he has hurt. We would also like to apologize to the entire African-American community, University of Oklahoma student body and administration. Our family has the responsibility to apologize, and also to seek forgiveness and reconciliation.\" That's an impressive statement. I applaud the Pettits for stepping up and refusing to blindly defend their son, as many parents might have done. They did what parents are supposed to do: They took responsibility for the actions of the person they raised. Who knew that would be so controversial? Ever since the apologies were offered, there's been discussions in this country about whether it's really necessary for parents to apologize for the actions of their grown children.

+{"article": "(CNN)One-year-old Viktoria lives almost entirely in the dark. She was born in Donetsk, as the crisis in eastern Ukraine was taking hold last year. Now, she and her parents stay in a putrid cellar that also serves as a bomb shelter, on the outskirts of the city. They are usually packed in tight with dozens of other people. It takes torchlight to see their faces: children, women, men and the elderly, sitting in a sea of filth. There is no water and no toilet, just buckets overflowing in a space where people have to eat and sleep. This is the world Viktoria has experienced so far, the place where she is having to learn to talk and walk. It's an extraordinary contrast with just a few years before, when Donetsk was a thriving city that helped host the European Football Championship. Now the streets are empty and most of the shops are closed. The shelling is so incessant that our driver tells me it feels like having techno music playing constantly in the background. I hear a lot about the politics of the Ukraine conflict: which leader has said what to whom, the provenance of arms, the big picture. What is missing from the debate is the people -- it is ordinary citizens who are suffering the most. Behind the grand headlines, there are children in desperate need who are suffering now and who will continue to suffer the consequences of the crisis in years to come. Around 1.7 million children are affected by the conflict in Ukraine -- including more than a thousand who are seeking refuge in bomb shelters in Donetsk. These are not modern bunkers. They are freezing holes, normally in the cellar of a house, which are simply unfit for human habitation. If a building collapses in a bombing, everyone will be buried. That is why in Debaltseve, for example, aid organizations are bringing body bags with them. Children are unbelievably stressed. They have seen friends and relatives die. They are afraid to even step outside of the cellars, as they fear they will never come back. On a recent U.N. aid convoy into Donetsk, UNICEF delivered more than 27 metric tons of essential hygiene supplies, education kits and drinking water. We made sure we prioritized the neediest children -- those in underground bomb shelters as well as those who are living with disabilities, who have been orphaned or who are affected by HIV. But this is not the sort of childhood one would imagine for 21st century Ukraine. In a country where children are too often institutionalized, the ongoing crisis can only exacerbate the problem. Social systems are collapsing and children are bearing the brunt.

The FBI said Friday it believes AWOL policeman Henry Solis is armed and dangerous and drove 800 miles across the desert from Southern California to El Paso with his father in a pickup a week ago. The FBI is offering $25,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of Solis in connection with the death of Salome Rodriguez, 23, who died after a fight between the men in a downtown Pomona, California, bar. \"The pattern suggests he crossed into Mexico, but he has family and friends living in El Paso and Ciudad Juarez,\" said Scott Garriola, special FBI agent who runs the fugitive task force from the Los Angeles Bureau. \"So he could be on either side of the border.\" \"It's a quick bus ride from the interior of Mexico to other parts of the country and Central America.\" The FBI, Pomona Police and Los Angeles County District Attorney declined to comment on whether Victor Solis might face charges for allegedly helping his son flee to El Paso. Garriola said Solis is a veteran of the Marines and \"he has extensive training and weapons\" understanding. Authorities posted three photos of Solis, with and without facial hair, and said he may now have a full beard. Police said after the early morning bar fight Solis pursued his victim on foot in the nightclub district and shot him multiple times. Garriola said Solis then reportedly called his father in Lancaster, California, and later that morning they began the trek to El Paso. Victor Solis said he dropped off his son at a bus stop in El Paso and his son made some incriminating statements \"not only about his actions that day but also that he would never be seen again,\" Garriola said. Henry Solis worked in the Devonshire Division of the San Fernando Valley, where he rode with a training officer. Earlier this week, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck fired Solis and appealed for him to give up. \"You have dishonored this police department, your country and your service to your country,\" Beck said. Marine Corps records say Solis served in Iraq from April to November 2007, earning several medals, including for the Iraq campaign, global war on terrorism service and Marine Corps good conduct.

+{"article": "(CNN)Israel's ruling Likud Party pulled off a victory in Tuesday's election -- and it was a stunning one. During the campaign, incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had come in for heavy criticism from across the political spectrum, for reasons ranging from concerns over his frosty relationship with the White House, to his fixation on the Iran nuclear issue, to allegations over Netanyahu's household expenses. Yet despite this unpromising backdrop, Likud is on course to win 30 seats in the Knesset, six seats more than the main opposition Zionist Union -- headed by Isaac Herzog and Tsipi Livni, and an obvious favorite of the Israeli media establishment and Europe, Washington, and the West Bank. The blow to the Zionist Union is particularly painful because some opinion polls had actually had the party leading Likud as the campaign drew to a close. (Likud wasn't the only winner of the night --the new center-right party Kulanu (All of Us), which focuses on the economy, also had a good showing, securing 10 seats). Still, Likud's resounding hasn't settled the eventual makeup of the government -- in the coming weeks, the work of negotiating a coalition will begin. With this in mind, there is a good chance that President Reuven Rivlin will ask Netanyahu to form a national unity government, either with the Zionist Union, or as the head of a right-wing coalition (although the bitter rivalry between Herzog/Livni and Netanyahu during the campaign makes the latter more likely). Overall, the election results seemed to reflect the rightward shift of the electorate, with even voters who self-identify as centrists consistently expressing conservative positions on both the Palestinian issue and broader questions of national security. Meanwhile, the numbers for the left in Tuesday's election -- a four seats for Meretz, 24 for the Zionist Union and 14 for the Arab List suggests the bloc is some 20 seats short of a viable coalition. As a result, the international community and the Palestinian leadership will have to face the reality that negotiations over the Palestinian state will be conducted with the center-right. So, what can we expect from the new Netanyahu government? Issues that dominated the campaign, namely security and the economy, will likely dominate. For a start, Netanyahu will try to improve his record on domestic and social issues by introducing more proactive policies tied to housing and land reform. The issue of housing requires especially painful economic and bureaucratic changes over the Israel Land Authority and planning and zoning processes. But to address these Issues properly, Netanyahu will have to confront land owners and the housing constructors, meaning key structural reforms are unlikely in the short term. In addition, Netanyahu will also have to repair the fractured relationship with Washington, something that may not be easy given that ties with the Obama administration will largely depends on whether a nuclear deal over Iran is reached, and what shape such a deal takes. That raises the question over what direction the government will take over national security, and on this, the government can probably be expected to pursue", "summary": "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won re-election in Tuesday's poll .

But the uproar wasn't that Pichette was quitting so much as why. \"After nearly seven years as CFO,\" he began, \"I will be retiring from Google to spend more time with my family.\" What he wanted now was to enjoy life at home and abroad with his wife, to \"grab our backpacks and hit the road -- celebrate our last 25 years together by turning the page and enjoy a perfectly fine midlife crisis full of bliss and beauty.\" The letter, which he said he wrote in part because, \"so many people struggle to strike the right balance between work and personal life,\" has been held up as a manifesto for the \"work/life balance\" ideal that's become something of the new American dream. The media has described it as \"powerful\" and \"unusually reflective.\" Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page said, \"Well worth reading, it will warm your heart.\" But if Pichette's work/life balance was achieved by quitting his job to go see the world, what message does it send to the rest of us seeking work/life balance?

Successful women from Sheryl Sandberg to PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi have spoken out about the pressure to \"have it all,\" and how, perhaps, there's really no such thing. Research backs them up.

Similarly, a survey of Harvard Business School grads found that the pressure women put on themselves to balance work and family is causing them significant stress. The survey also found that the majority of men expected their partners to take primary responsibility for childcare -- and indeed that happened in more than 70% of cases. And yet in recent years, \"work/life balance\" has been held up as a legitimately attainable ideal, one that you can achieve if only you give your personal life as much attention as your professional one. But if you look at those we tend to hold up as models of that ideal -- those who leave work earlier, silence their cellphones more, retire, as in the case of Pichette, at 52 -- are they really striking a balance? Which is why talking about work/life balance at all is a perilous business, an invitation to fail. Having it all is very difficult, if not downright impossible.

The jet flew from Sanaa, which Houthi rebels overtook in January, to the palace in the port city of Aden, where the jet conducted the strikes Thursday afternoon, a senior air force official said on condition of anonymity. Deposed President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi was at the Aden palace compound when the first missile struck the grounds, but he then fled safely, a Hadi aide said, also on condition of anonymity. A second missile struck near the compound, but, like the first, injured no one, two officials in Aden said. Another Houthi-commanded air force jet fired a missile in downtown Aden about a half-hour later, again injuring no one, Aden Gov. AbdulAziz Hobtour said. It wasn't immediately clear what the missile struck, or what the intended target was. The airstrikes came on the same day opposing Yemeni military forces -- those commanded by Houthis, and those led by officers loyal to Hadi -- battled in Aden, leaving at least 13 people dead and 21 others injured, Hobtour said. The Houthis, a minority rebel group that holds sway in the nation's north but has less influence elsewhere, took control over military forces stationed near Sanaa, including the air force, as it overtook the government there in January. Hadi initially was put under house arrest in Sanaa, but he escaped last month, fleeing to Aden and declaring himself to still be president. Some military forces still are loyal to Hadi, including troops from his native province in the south. On Thursday, clashes erupted in Aden when a special forces commander loyal to the Houthis, Abdul Hafez Al Saqqaf, ordered hundreds of his troops to create checkpoints at all roads leading to Aden's airport. Watch: Who are the Houthis? The clashes were reported to be taking place on four different fronts in the airport and a surrounding military base. Passengers were stranded at the airport, with flights canceled throughout the day. Al Saqqaf's forces gave up much of their ground in Aden after pro-Hadi forces struck them with heavy artillery and tanks, a pro-Hadi military commander said on condition of anonymity. Some of the wounded in Thursday's fighting were in critical condition, officials said, suggesting the death toll could rise. The Houthis entered Sanaa in September, demanding a greater share of political power. They took control over a period of months, seizing the presidential palace in January.

Abdelrahman has a network of activists on the ground in Syria. On Saturday, the observatory -- citing an Assyrian commander -- said that ISIS planned to release 29 Assyrian Christian hostages. ISIS captured at least 220 Assyrians, all Christians, on February 23 during an attack on the villages around the town of Tal Tamer in the northern Syrian province of al-Hasakah. The Syrian Observatory said Saturday that a self-proclaimed ISIS court ordered the release, citing an Assyrian commander. The \"court\" told the commander that the fate of the other kidnapped Assyrians has yet to be decided by ISIS Sharia jurists. The Syrian Observatory said its information indicates ISIS has taken the hostages to the Mount Abdelaziz area, southwest of Tal Tamer. The founder of the Assyrian Human Rights Network, Osama Edward, puts the number of Assyrian hostages at more than 262. Edward is based in Sweden but has family in the area that was attacked, and says his information is from the network's team on the ground. The number of hostages has climbed steadily, from an initial estimate of between 70 and 100 people seized on Monday to 150 as of Wednesday, with women, children and the elderly among them. The number of people executed by the terrorist group has also climbed steadily. Since the declaration of its \"caliphate\" last June, ISIS has killed 1,969 people, the Syrian Observatory said Saturday. Nearly two-thirds of them -- 1,238 people -- were civilians. Six were children and eight were women, the group said. Of the rest, 95 were fighters from the al Qaeda-affiliated rebel group al-Nusra Front, the Syrian Observatory said, and 511 were officers and soldiers of regime forces. ISIS also executed 125 of its own members for \"exceeding the limits in religion,\" the Syrian Observatory said. \"We in SOHR believe that the real number of people that had been killed by (ISIS) is higher than the number documented by SOHR because there are hundreds of missing and detainees inside the (ISIS) jails, loss of communication with about 1,000 men of al-Shaitaat tribe, (and) dozens of Kurds who have still been missing\" since ISIS attacked the Syrian town of Kobani in September.

He will probably remain hospitalized for three to four days, said Dr. Jung Nam-shik at Yonsei Severance Hospital. In 2010, Kim received a suspended two-year prison sentence for throwing a piece of concrete at a Japanese ambassador to South Korea, according to the Yonhap news agency. The motive for his attack Thursday? He wanted an end to the South Korean-U.S. military drills to improve North-South relations, police said. The drills are held annually despite predictably harsh criticism from North Korea. The North Korean government believes the attack is \"just punishment for U.S. warmongers,\" according to its official news agency, KCNA. South Korean President Park Geun-hye, on the other hand, condemned it. \"This incident is not only a physical attack on the U.S. ambassador,\" she said, \"but an attack on the South Korea-U.S. alliance and it can never be tolerated.\" U.S. diplomats have been attacked, killed in past . Lippert was attacked while attending an event organized by the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation, which advocates peaceful reunification between the two Koreas. The U.S. Embassy did not request special security for the event, Seoul police said. Three police officers were on duty at the building's entrance, and 25 others were on standby. Kim sat down at a different table than Lippert, then got up and ran to the ambassador's right side yelling something that sounded like anti-American sentiments. \"When the man jumped on the ambassador, I stood up and jumped on the man, and they both fell on the ground,\" a witness, Jang Yoon Seok, told CNN affiliate YTN. \"Luckily I got on top of the man's back and could press him to the floor. Then others came to hold him on the floor.\" Jang said he later saw the knife on the table. It had a wooden handle and did not look particularly sophisticated, he said. Seoul police said a knife, about 10 inches long, was used in the assault and the suspect brought it from home.

A London-based advocacy group that worked with Emwazi says emails he sent them paint a picture of a desperate man hounded by authorities who saw his plans for a new life crumble as he tried unsuccessfully to get help. And a report from the Daily Mail, also citing emails purportedly sent from Emwazi to the British publication, said the Kuwait-born Londoner saw himself as a \"dead man walking\" and contemplated suicide because of his alleged harassment by authorities. But some analysts say the emails are only part of the story, arguing that investigators targeted Emwazi because they already saw he had links with terrorist groups. \"You can't start the story at how he's been treated by UK officials. You certainly can't start the story from the email trail,\" said Rashad Ali, director at the counterextremism consultancy CENTRI and a fellow of the Institute of Strategic Dialogue. \"You have to go back to why the intelligence services got in contact with him. Well, because he was part of a group of a people who were going to join Al-Shabaab -- a very extremist organization and jihadist group that got involved in horrific terrorist attacks in Somalia.\" Emwazi felt he was being harassed by authorities and tried to seek legal help to stop it, according to CAGE, the human rights and Muslim advocacy organization that worked with him. One email details Emwazi's account of his detention at a British airport, when authorities stopped him from traveling to Kuwait in 2010 and questioned him for hours. \"I told them that I want to be left alone, as I have an ambition of moving from the UK and settling in Kuwait.

Long against same-sex marriage, the Italian designers -- who are not only openly gay, but were once a couple -- took their counterintuitive rhetoric to the next level this weekend when Dolce said in an interview: . \"You are born to a mother and a father -- or at least that's how it should be. I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalog.\" John, who along with his husband David Furnish is raising two children that were conceived through IVF, took to Twitter to essentially say \"Oh no he didn't,\" followed by \"#BoycottDolceGabbana\" because nothing expresses anger quite like a hashtag. Not to be outdone, the pair responded with #BoycottEltonJohn. So what should we make of all this boycott talk? Combined, the three men are worth an estimated $3 billion. The openly gay Ricky Martin, who is raising two boys via a surrogate mother, sided with John (but he's only worth an estimated $60 million, so I'm not sure if anyone noticed). Regardless, while I find the archaic thinking of Dolce and Gabbana disappointing, the truth is my budget boycotted their clothing years ago. Some of it's really nice. But I just can't afford to spend $500 on a T-shirt. And even if I could, I don't know how I would justify doing so with a kid to put through college. That's why I find this whole ultra rich on ultra rich violence so disconnected from the reality most of us on Twitter are living. Boycott? Besides the 1%, who the hell is buying Dolce and Gabbana regularly enough to actually call the act of not buying their clothing a \"boycott\"?

On his way out, he saw one of his rookie swing-shift officers, Sean Collier, sitting in his cruiser. He stopped to say goodnight. \"I chatted with him for a few minutes. I told him to be safe and I left,\" the chief told a crowded courtroom on Wednesday. He estimated the conversation lasted three, maybe four minutes. \"Did you ever see Sean Collier alive again after that?\" Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb asked. \"I did not.\" Less than an hour later, Collier lay bleeding in his patrol car after being ambushed and shot in the head. His car door was open, and his foot was lodged between the gas and brake pedals. DiFava and other officers, assisted by surveillance videos, 911 callers and a lone bicyclist who happened to be passing by, recounted Collier's last moments in the death penalty trial of admitted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The bicyclist, MIT mathematics Ph.D. candidate Nathan Harman, pointed to Tsarnaev in court and identified him as the man with \"a big nose,\" who he saw leaning into Collier's squad car. He said Tsarnaev appeared to be alone. Tsarnaev, who was 19 at the time, does not dispute that he was present when Collier was killed on the evening of April 18, nor does he deny that he participated in the bombings three days earlier that killed three people and hurt more than 240 others. Prosecutors say Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, killed Collier because they wanted his gun. But their efforts to take it were thwarted by a safety holster. The FBI had released photos of the pair five hours earlier, and they were on the run. But Tamerlan, 26, would not survive the night. He was killed in a chase and gunbattle with police that began with reports of an \"officer down\" at MIT. The MIT police, who are designated as special officers by the Massachusetts State Police, patrol the sprawling campus in Cambridge. Collier's beat was the area of North Quad near Main and Vassar streets. He had been handling a routine call about a citizen who was upset his car had been towed. A young man called 911 about 10:20 p.m. and reported hearing loud noises outside his window. \"They don't sound exactly like gunshots,\" the caller told dispatcher David Sacco. He wasn't sure what they were. Maybe somebody banging on trash cans. Sacco tried to summon Collier on his police radio. No response. He sent an emergency alert. Nothing. He tried texting him. Still no response. \"It became an amount of time that wasn't comfortable,\" he said. Sgt.

+{"article": "(CNN)Italian fashion designer Stefano Gabbana and Elton John are in a war of words on social media, calling for boycotts of each other's work. The argument stems from comments about in-vitro fertilization in Panorama magazine, in which Gabbana and longtime collaborator Domenico Dolce spoke about \"synthetic\" children born from \"rented\" wombs. \"No chemical children: life has a natural course, there are things that shouldn't be modified,\" the magazine says in a quote attributed to both designers. The magazine also promises insights from the designers on \"the importance of relationships within conventional families with very, very traditional values\" in an interview that hit Italian newsstands last week. John, who has two children with husband David Furnish through IVF, issued a strong repudiation of the statements on Sunday and pledged to boycott the Dolce & Gabbana fashion line. In response, Gabbana defended his \"freedom to speak\" and called on fans to boycott John. Sir Elton appears to be winning the social media war with the hashtag #BoycottDolceGabbana, which by Monday morning had been used more than 35,000 times on Twitter since John invoked it on Sunday. By comparison, Gabbana's #boycotteltonjohn has been used just 1,600 times on Twitter, according to social media search tool Topsy. \"How dare you refer to my beautiful children as 'synthetic'. And shame on you for wagging your judgemental little fingers at IVF - a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfill their dream of having children,\" John said Sunday on Instagram. \"Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions. I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again.\" The sentiment quickly gathered support from such celebrities as Ricky Martin, Al Roker and Courtney Love. Tennis star Martina Navratilova tweeted her support for John's post, saying \"My D&G shirts are going in the bin \u2014 don't want ANYONE to wear them.\" Parents and IVF advocates also joined the boycott. \"My son is NOT synthetic. His life was made possible through #IVF & I couldn't be more grateful,\" writer and infertility advocate Jenn Palumbo said in a tweet. The comments from Dolce and Gabbana struck some as hypocritical coming from a couple that was romantically involved until 2005 (they continued working together after the breakup). Still, Gabbana has dropped hints in interviews of his \"traditional\" views toward family structure. He told an Italian publication in 2006 that he once asked a female friend to be a surrogate mother because he was \"opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents.\" Gabbana was quick to react to this controversy, calling John a \"fascist\" in an Instagram comment that was later deleted, according to CNN affiliate TGCom24. He also sought to discredit reports that they told Panorama in this instance they objected to same-sex adoption, even though Gabbana took that position in his 2006 interview.

Lu's mother abandoned him after he was born and his father works as a carpenter in Shandong province hundreds of miles further north. He comes back perhaps once a year. In China, Lu is what's called a \"left-behind child.\" Conservatively, there are at least 61 million such children in China -- that's a staggering one in five. They struggle at school, have higher rates of mental health issues, and suffer from more behavioral problems than their contemporaries. \"I tell him 'your father is working and your mother doesn't want you,'\" says an exasperated Tang. In Chao Hu, a village in the inland province of Anhui, a dead-end track passes by half-finished housing projects and abandoned fields. A yellow haze hangs in the air leaving a metallic taste in the mouth. China's industrial pollution made it out here, but the jobs haven't.

They struggle to access healthcare and other social services in urban areas. Their children can't go to public schools -- even if they are born in the cities. Critics say the hukou system has created a vast underclass of cheap labor to help drive China's manufacturing revolution.

+{"article": "(CNN)In September 2002, then-former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a U.S. congressional committee \"there is absolutely no question whatsoever\" that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was developing nuclear weapons at \"portable manufacturing sites of mass death.\" Once Hussein had nuclear weapons, Netanyahu warned, \"the terror network will have nuclear weapons,\" placing \"the security of the entire world at risk.\" Fast forward to this week, and Netanyahu was back, this time as prime minister, to make virtually identical claims about Iran. Yet not only has the U.S. intelligence community disagreed with Netanyahu's assessment of Iranian nuclear intentions, so does Israel's, according to leaked documents. Indeed, more than 200 retired security officers have publicly criticized Netanyahu as a danger to Israel's security. Sadly, Netanyahu's presentation reinforces caricatures regularly advanced by American and Gulf Arab pundits -- caricatures of Iran as aspiring Middle Eastern hegemon, bent on overthrowing an otherwise stable regional order. It's a misguided perspective that is actually hurting the United States. In Netanyahu's view, America should only improve relations with an Iran that stops its regional \"aggression,\" its support for \"terrorism,\" and its \"threat[s] to annihilate ... Israel.\" In other words, America should not improve relations with an Iran whose regional influence is rising. In reality, Iran's rise is not only normal, it is actually essential to a more stable region. As nuclear talks with Tehran enter a decisive phase, rapprochement with a genuinely independent Iran -- not a nominally independent Iran whose strategic orientation is subordinated to U.S. preferences -- is vital to halting the decline of America's strategic position. Washington has long worked to consolidate a highly militarized, pro-American Middle Eastern order. Yet these efforts -- pursued across Democratic and Republican administrations and intensified after 9/11 -- have clearly failed. As a result, the Middle East today is less stable, more riven with sectarian and ethnic conflict, and more violent than at any point in its modern history. And America, in a textbook illustration of \"imperial overstretch,\" has made itself weaker, both regionally and globally. America's quest for Middle Eastern hegemony has failed for many reasons. For a start, seeking dominance impels Washington to replicate, in multiple venues, its Faustian bargain with imperial Iran from 1953 until the last shah's overthrow in 1979, providing substantial and effectively open-ended support to governments acting against the desires of their own publics. While American elites argue that America benefits from such arrangements, they are ultimately unsustainable, as Iran's 1979 revolution demonstrated. A determination to dominate the Middle East keeps locking Washington into these kinds of relationships; for its own sake, the United States needs to stop trying to be the Middle East's hegemon. That means embracing a regional balance of power -- not the chimera of American dominance misleadingly labeled as \"balance,\" but an actual balance in which major regional states, acting in their own interests, constrain one another.

The historic occasion was the first ever Major League Soccer match -- a brave new dawn for the world's favorite sport in a land its charms had yet to conquer. Summarizing the action for ESPN, commentator Ty Keough eagerly described the momentous \"birth of a new era for American soccer.\" Looking back at footage from that balmy evening now it's hard not to feel a certain nostalgia. Baggy shirts, questionable hairstyles and strange rule adaptations to make games more exciting were all part of the formative MLS experience. Countdown clocks were employed to provide drama at the end of each half. Even more bizarrely, tied games were settled by shootouts that saw attacking players run with the ball from 35-yards out before attempting to beat the opposing goalkeeper. As the MLS prepares to mark the beginning of its 20th season, it's hard to comprehend just how much the league has progressed in the intervening period. Long gone is the desire to tamper with the rules of the game for a start. Attendances are higher than ever before while the number of teams involved has doubled from 10 in the 1996 campaign to 20 in 2015. A further four are set to be added by 2020. On top of this, the new season is the first of a new domestic TV and media rights deal with FOX, ESPN and Univision worth $700 million over eight years. This figure may pale beside the $5.1 billion recently paid by UK broadcasters for the English Premier League, the richest football league in the world, but it represents a tripling in value of the previous MLS deal. According to Phil Rawlins, co-primary owner and president of the new MLS franchise, Orlando City Soccer Club, \"the industry and the game itself has moved on dramatically\" in the U.S.. He believes what would equal 50 years growth in most other industries has been experienced in the first two decades of the MLS. Rawlins' club is a prime example of this rapid transformation.

Police Chief Tim Longo noted that just because police found no evidence to support her account, \"That doesn't mean that something terrible didn't happen to Jackie\" on the day in question. Longo said he welcomed any information that might still be out there about the case. The Rolling Stone story generated controversy from the moment it came out, first sparking a debate about the prevalence of rape on college campuses throughout the country. But then the controversy turned toward the story's content when apparent contradictions and discrepancies in the article came to light. Rolling Stone said it did not get the accounts of those accused in the piece, and apologized. Editors vowed to conduct their own investigation, which is expected to be published in early April. Longo said Jackie did not give police a statement during their investigation. CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin said it's not unusual for a sexual assault victim to avoid the criminal process. \"Sometimes they can't deal with the probing that occurs. They don't want to submit to a rape kit. They're embarrassed. They know that they will be scrutinized, quite frankly. So that in and of itself ... doesn't make this young woman a liar,\" she said. Hostin pointed out that only about 2% of rapes that are reported are false, and only about 40% of rapes that occur are even reported: \"So the suggestion that she just sort of made this entire thing up flies in the face of the statistics.\" Nine out of 11 people at the fraternity house at the time the sexual assault allegedly occurred talked to police, Longo said. None of them said they knew about a rape, he said, and investigators further determined that it was unlikely a party even happened at the fraternity house on the day in question as was alleged in the Rolling Stone story. The Rolling Stone reporter, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, talked to police, authorities said, but there were some questions she declined to answer for journalistic reasons. It's unclear what those questions were. In total, authorities spoke to 70 people as part of their investigation, and just two believed that Jackie was the victim of something, Capt.

The Mexican government's statement comes amid a debate that has surged across the United States about whether police are using excessive force, particularly when they deal with minority groups. \"Adding to our consternation over the third case of a Mexican killed by an excessive use of force in less than one month, is our deep concern for the effect of the break in trust between the Hispanic community and the police forces that could result from these actions,\" the foreign ministry said.

Police shot 31-year-old Rub\u00e9n Garc\u00eda Villalpando in the Dallas suburb of Euless, Texas, on February 20. Investigators say the case started when a burglar alarm sounded at a business. Villalpando's car, which was in the area, was followed by police in what authorities described as a high-speed chase. Eventually, Villalpando pulled over. Villalpando was unarmed, but in early reports about the shooting, police said an altercation erupted after he disobeyed an officer's commands during a traffic stop. The traffic stop was caught on camera, but police haven't released the dash cam video to the public. \"There will be more information released as the investigation continues. This additional information may shed more light on Mr. Villalpando's actions that night,\" police and city officials said. \"We look forward to the time that the community can review the dash cam video of this incident, which we believe will answer many questions and correct some misconceptions about this incident.\" Villalpando's family said they've seen the video, and even though it doesn't show the officer or the shooting, they said one thing is clear: Villalpando was unarmed and did nothing to threaten the officer who stopped him.

+{"article": "Tunis (CNN)Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi confirmed that a third person took part in last week's Bardo museum terror attack in an interview Sunday with French TV Station iTele. \"There were for certain three terrorists,\" Essebsi said. \"There is one on the run. He will not get far.\" Previously two suspects had been identified -- Yassine Labidi and Saber Khachnaou -- though it wasn't immediately clear if they were the pair killed at the museum by Tunisian security forces. He said Yassine was \"known to the security services, he was flagged and monitored,\" but not known or being followed for anything special. Authorities have arrested nine people in connection with the attack, including four directly linked to it, according to Essebsi. The development came a day after the bodies of four Italian tourists slain in the attack arrived back in Italy, an official with the Tunis Crisis Center told CNN, but 14 victims' remains still lie in the morgue. Most of the 23 victims were foreigners, making the process of identification more complicated. Nineteen of them were tourists who'd been on two cruise ships that docked in Tunis. French, Spanish, Italian, British, Japanese, Russian and Colombian citizens are among those to have been formally identified so far. The bodies of the Italians were met in Rome by Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who paid his respects to the victims and their families in a brief ceremony. Eleven people who were injured in the attack remained in the hospital in Tunisia on Saturday, the official at the Tunis Crisis Center said. An uncle of Yassine Labidi, Abeld Malik Labidi, told CNN on Friday that no one he knew had seen any signs of extremism in his 26-year-old nephew. But he said Yassine Labidi was one of the two gunmen killed at the museum. \"It's true that Yassine carried out this terrorist attack, he was killed; his head, his body, we don't have it back,\" he said. But, he said, he believed Yassine and other young Tunisians like him were also victims of terrorism -- of the recruiters who paid them money, organized the logistics and took them to places like Syria and Libya to train as fighters. He had known his nephew well, he said. \"After the revolution of 2011 he started to pray, before he would drink beers from time to time, like a young Tunisian. He wasn't extreme in any way.\" The only thing that raised questions was that Yassine had disappeared for about a month, he said. Although his nephew said he'd gone to the Tunisian city of Sfax to work, his family now suspected he had been in Libya because of the phone numbers he called from. \"When he came back his behavior was the same: he was still himself, calm, serious. Nobody noticed anything, even the neighbors I spoke to,\" said Abeld Malik Labidi. \"He said hello to everyone, he prayed, he took his coffee, even on the day of the attack he took his coffee with his family and went to work.\" Abeld Malik Labidi said Yassine's", "summary": "Tunisian President says third person who took part in museum attack is on the run .

+{"article": "(CNN)Boris Nemtsov, the Russian opposition leader slain Friday night a stone's throw from the Kremlin, was a true original, one of the towering figures of his country's post-communist political odyssey. We do not know yet who it was who shot him four times in the back. Various theories have been floated. But by far the most plausible is that his killers wanted to silence one of the most determined and courageous Russian campaigners for personal and political freedoms. Whether Nemtsov offended by attacking the authoritarianism of Vladimir Putin's regime, the jingoistic imperialism of his Ukrainian campaign or even the massacre of journalists at Charlie Hebdo, it comes to the same thing in the end: He stood up consistently for the values of the Western Enlightenment against its motley army of enemies. Born in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Nemtsov began as an atomic physicist but rose to prominence in the early 1990s as the reformist governor of Nizhny Novgorod province. President Boris Yeltsin took a liking to him and brought him to Moscow. \"What a stubborn nature,\" he wrote of Nemtsov. \"Reminds me of myself.\" Nemtsov was the first person Yeltsin anointed as his political successor. (Unfortunately, he was not the last.) After Putin's election in 2000, Nemtsov hoped at first that the new President would keep his promise to restore order while preserving democracy. Soon disillusioned, Nemtsov became one of Putin's most biting critics. He was a natural politician -- emotional, gregarious, articulate. Like Yeltsin -- but unlike Putin -- he enjoyed meeting ordinary people and was energized by electoral campaigns. Some snickered at Nemtsov's extravagant personality, his hints of bravado and weakness for the fairer sex. But his determination and talent commanded respect. Yet it is also true that, by the mid-2000s, Nemtsov was widely viewed as a spent force. And when the Levada Center polled Russians in 2013, 6% approved of his actions, while 48% disapproved and 46% claimed to know nothing about him. Along with all other Russian liberals of the 1990s, he failed to forge a connection to the discontented groups outside Moscow. He titled his first book of memoirs, \"The Provincial,\" but to true provincials he looked like the elite. As one analyst told me, when Nemtsov turned up at far-flung rallies in a sparkling, immaculately ironed, white shirt, it symbolized the class divide between him and his audience. By the wave of protests in 2011-12, his generation's day had passed. The new activists in their 30s and 40s had a different sensibility, a new cadence of speech to fit the Internet age. On the stage before the anti-Putin demonstrators, Nemtsov often bombed. He understood this. \"Khvatit!\" he said, in his last interview, when the host tried to tease out of him a confession of presidential ambitions. \"Enough already!\" But the dwindling appeal of Western-style liberalism did not stop him. Nemtsov's doggedness during the last decade -- plugging away despite public indifference or scorn -- makes it the most impressive chapter of his career.

+{"article": "Moscow (CNN)In his first substantive comments since Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov's death, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday called the killing a \"disgrace\" and lashed out at what he called \"extremists\" and protesters. Nemtsov had been one of Putin's harshest critics and had been arrested several times for speaking against the President's government. The 55-year-old opposition leader was gunned down Friday night in Moscow as he walked across a bridge about 100 meters (330 feet) from the Kremlin with his girlfriend, Ukrainian model Anna Duritskaya, 23. His slaying spurred thousands to rally in his honor in Moscow, with many calling him a true Russian patriot at his funeral Tuesday. Nemtsov isn't the first of Putin's critics to turn up dead, with others including Anna Politkovskaya (who was fatally shot) and Alexander Litvinenko (who was poisoned). The Kremlin has staunchly denied accusations that it's targeting political opponents or had anything to do with the deaths. The Russian leader has condemned Nemtsov's killing and ordered three law enforcement agencies to investigate, the Kremlin has said. He also wrote to Nemtsov's mother, saying he shared her grief, and promised to bring those behind the killing to justice. Yet those expressions came in Kremlin statements. Wednesday was the first day Putin spoke at length on the subject, remarks that were reported by state media outlets. Referring to \"the daring killing of Boris Nemtsov in the very heart of our capital city,\" he said, \"Russia should be made secure, at last, from the disgrace and tragedies of (this) kind.\" The President added, according to the official Tass news agency, \"The most serious attention should be paid to high-profile crimes, including those having political motives.\" No one has been arrested in connection with Nemtsov's death, though Russia's Federal Security Service chief Alexander Bortnikov did say there are suspects, Tass reported. The same agency, citing Russia's Finance Ministry, said that investigators are looking for a car that belongs to a state enterprise that provides services to that ministry. Putin didn't identify any person or group that might be directly responsible. But Wednesday he took the opportunity to lay blame generally at what he called \"color technologies,\" an apparent reference to using mass street protests and overseas funding to try to overthrow a government. \"The actions of extremists are becoming more and more widespread,\" the President said. \"We are running into attempts of using so-called color technologies, from organizing illegal street protests to open propaganda (expressing) hatred in social networks.\" CNN's Alla Eshchenko reported from Moscow, and CNN's Greg Botelho wrote from Atlanta.

+{"article": "Irbil, Iraq (CNN)Iraqi forces are doubling down efforts to retake the city of Tikrit from ISIS, even uniting Sunni and Shiite fighters in the mission. The Iraqi army, along with Sunni and Shiite militiamen, attacked ISIS strongholds in the area Monday, the state-run Iraqiya TV reported. Iraqi warplanes and helicopters are also striking targets in and around Tikrit. It's part of a wide-scale offensive ordered by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Sunday. Tikrit fell to ISIS in June of 2014, after the group's capture of Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul. Tikrit is best known to Westerners as the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. ISIS, the radical Sunni militant group, has been on a murderous campaign to establish a caliphate across swaths of Iraq and Syria. Iraqi forces approached Tikrit from several fronts, Iraqiya TV reported, engaging with ISIS north of the city at al-Alam and south of the city at al-Dour. The element of surprise probably was not a factor, as reports of Iraqi troops amassing near Tikrit were widely shared. What awaits the Iraqi army is most likely a long, hard slog and not a quick rout. Tikrit is a big city, and the army and its associated militias have had problems recapturing much smaller towns from ISIS. There have been several failed attempts to recapture Tikrit since the second half of 2014. While Iraqi forces have gained some territory in the area, it has generally been under ISIS control for the last eight months or so. The joint Iraqi forces fighting to retake Tikrit include Iraqi troops, members of the Shia al-Hashed al-Shaabi militia, members of the Sunni Sons of Salahuddin brigades, and other Sunni tribal fighters. The offensive involves around 30,000 fighters in all. Al-Abadi, who is also commander in chief of the armed forces, said on Twitter that he will \"oversee the operation to liberate Tikrit\" from ISIS. In short, this is the biggest test for an army trying to claw back territory that fell to ISIS last summer after a string of dramatic defeats. Last June, Tikrit was the scene of the bloodiest massacre ever perpetrated by ISIS militants. They captured more than a thousand Iraqi soldiers, who laid down their arms and donned civilian clothing in an attempt to flee a base once used by U.S. forces. ISIS subsequently executed as many as 1,700 soldiers, and posted the video of the killing online. There is concern that Iraqi forces, eager for revenge, may kill combatants and civilians alike. The U.N.'s envoy to Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, urged all armed forces in Tikrit to do their utmost to spare civilians. U.S. and other coalition troops have been conducting a crash course to retrain and upgrade the Iraqi army, and several thousand Iraqi troops have passed through the course. This offensive will tell whether that training has made a difference. The offensive also highlights the role played by neighboring Iran in the fight against ISIS.

They're in your face. Face Love Fitness, a pop-up boutique in downtown Manhattan, offers face workouts and massages to keep the skin and muscles of the face and neck healthy, looking young and feeling good. \"The popular notion that one should avoid touching one's face for fear of creating wrinkles is completely incorrect. Skin responds beautifully to mindful touch,\" says Rachel Lang, an esthetician (skin care therapist), who co-founded the Face Love skin gym with massage therapist Heidi Frederick and personal trainer Kate Gyllenhaal. Not all skin experts agree. Some dermatologists, including Dr. Patricia K. Farris, a clinical associate professor at Tulane University, say that exercising facial muscles is counterintuitive to dermatologists. They treat lines and wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement, called dynamic wrinkles, with the muscle relaxing medication botulinum toxin, commonly known by the brand name \"Botox.\" \"I do think there could be some value to relaxation and stress relief provided by massage, but exercising facial muscles will not make you look younger and may even make you look older,\" says Farris. But proponents of massage say healthy, youthful skin is well-worked skin. \"When you stimulate pressure receptors under the skin, as you do in a moderate pressure massage, you increase the temperature of the skin, you slow down the physiology, you reduce the release of stress hormones and enhance immune function\" according to Tiffany Field, Ph.D., director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine. \"Just as massage and exercise contributes to health in general, it would also be expected to contribute to skin health.\" This is the philosophy at the skin gym, where they say the massage and movement is detoxifying and increases oxygen and blood circulation to the skin, which can result in fewer wrinkles, a firmer jaw line, improved skin tone, and even reduced headaches and eyestrain, according to Lang. \"It is like any exercise, you need to do it two to three times a week for the best results.\" It may look a little silly, contorting your facial expressions as Lang drags a plastic roller across your face, or trying to lift your eyebrows against the resistance of an elastic band across your forehead, but the effect of working out your face is pleasantly refreshing. Under the skin there is an area of fatty tissue called the subcutaneous layer. It diminishes with age. The loss of this area contributes to decreased firmness, giving facial skin an older, tired look. Exercising the facial muscles tones and lifts the skin because your facial muscles are attached to your skin and the bone like a web that forms the shape of your face. Through the massages and resistance training, Face Love Fitness claims muscles in the face become stronger and taut, rejuvenating the appearance of the face. \"This is great for everyone, it doesn't", "summary": "A boutique in Manhattan offers face workouts and massages .

New Zealand media have reported five cases this year of locals forcibly taking the keys of foreign motorists after witnessing driving that concerned them. All the incidents -- which have been condemned by authorities -- took place in the South Island, which draws tourists from around the world for its rugged scenery, including lakes and mountains featured in director Peter Jackson's \"Lord of the Rings\" films. The incidents occurred amid heightened public concern over tourist driving standards, with eight people killed in crashes involving foreign drivers in the space of a fortnight last month. Among the dead were a family of four from Hong Kong who were killed when their car crossed the center line and collided with a logging truck. The key snatchings have even prompted Prime Minister John Key to weigh in on the issue, advising that \"people taking the law into their own hands is not sensible.\" New Zealand Police Assistant Commissioner of Road Policing Dave Cliff said the confiscations existed in a legal gray area, as there was no explicit statute dealing with the issue. Although there might be exceptional circumstances where taking someone's keys could be legally justified, such as preventing drunken driving, he said, \"in the vast majority of cases, it won't be.\" \"That extends to physically assaulting or abusing someone in response to their driving, which is simply not acceptable, and anyone found doing so should expect to face the consequences,\" he said. Diesel mechanic Robert Penman of Dunedin made headlines last month after he took the keys of a Chinese couple who had stopped their car on a narrow single-lane road to take pictures, causing a backlog of vehicles behind them. \"I was coming into town with my wife and son and came around the corner, and there was a car stopped in the middle of the road,\" he told CNN affiliate TVNZ. He called police and took their keys as \"a safety thing, you know, timeframe for police to get there,\" he said. The New Zealand Transport Agency later revealed that Penman was driving on an expired license himself. Penman told local media it was not the first time he had taken a tourist's car keys. Only 6% of crashes in New Zealand involve foreign drivers, according to the latest figures provided by the Ministry of Transport. But in some remote regions of the South Island particularly popular with tourists for their scenery -- such as the Mackenzie, Southland, Queenstown-Lakes and Kaikoura districts -- foreign drivers are involved in about a quarter of all crashes. In Westland District, on the South Island's rugged West Coast, foreign drivers are involved in 37% of road crashes resulting in death or injury.

+{"article": "(CNN)California's Silicon Valley is one of the most prosperous places in the United States -- home to tech giants such as Google, Facebook and Apple. Yet even this region isn't immune from the scourge of child poverty. I visited Silicon Valley in November for CNN's Change the List series. Readers of this website voted for me to do a story on child poverty. There, I found children living in tents, homeless shelters -- even a garage, which I found particularly ironic given that Google and Apple link their company origins to garages in this valley south of San Francisco. Instead of going on about all that's wrong with Silicon Valley and this country as a whole, where one in five kids lives below the poverty line, I want to bring some good news: We can fix this. Child poverty isn't inevitable. It's a choice. And we can choose to end it. Here are four ways we can start to do that. If you don't like these, go to this Google Form (yeah, Google) and suggest a solution of your own. Your ideas may end up in a future column. (Side note: Google declined to comment on \"The poor kids of Silicon Valley.\" Facebook and Apple, meanwhile, did not respond to my repeated email requests for comment.) The idea: Housing is too expensive for poor families, especially in markets such as Silicon Valley. But making affordable housing more available can reduce this burden. Evidence it works: Increasing federal housing subsidies would reduce U.S. child poverty by 20.8%, according to a 2015 Children's Defense Fund report. That would lift 2.3 million kids out of poverty. The annual cost would be $23.5 billion. For more info, read this report: \"Ending Child Poverty Now.\" What you can do: Support vetted California organizations that provide free or subsidized housing to low-income families, including Family Supportive Housing and Samaritan House. Or: Petition Facebook, Apple or Google to fund subsidized housing projects in their own backyard. The idea: Working families can't afford to raise their kids, and better wages would help them do it. The federal minimum wage is worth considerably less now than it was in the 1960s, adjusted for inflation, according to the Congressional Research Service. The federal minimum wage was worth $9.27 in 1963, using July 2013 dollars. Now it's $7.25. Evidence it works: Raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour, and boosting the tipped worker wage to $7.07, could reduce U.S. child poverty by 4%, according to the Children's Defense Fund report. That would help lift 400,000 American kids out of poverty. To see how something like that plays out, I visited the Idaho-Washington border. Idaho's minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Washington's is $9.47. The difference is $4,618 per year. On my visit, I met Amanda Palmen, a 27-year-old gas station worker.

+{"article": "(CNN)The President repeated an unfortunate and ill-fated claim while campaigning hard for Obamacare. You remember it. \"If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.\" With that false sloganeering, Barack Obama made sure he thoroughly owned a piece of the scorn spawned every time an insurance company changed or canceled plans after the ACA became law. Bad move. He's apologized, but history will record the affair as his \"Read my lips, no new taxes\" moment . Yet, there are worse moves politicians can make. Republicans are making one now. Republican leaders are stepping up to offer woefully inadequate stand-ins for Obamacare. They're offering these salves because they're hoping the Supreme Court issues a death blow to the federal exchanges that are now facilitating health coverage in 37 states and they want to have a possible alternative. There is plenty of potential the case, King v. Burwell, will succeed in halting the insurance subsidies that federal exchanges require to function. The Republican leadership is smart. They understand some of the anxiety already percolating up now could transform into a true panic. But in trying to contain fear, they're guaranteeing they'll own the anger that comes next. A collection of three congressmen, including Senate Finance committee chair Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), recently acknowledged the dire need for an alternative in the wake of Obamacare's demise and issued a \"blueprint\" that nods toward some of the key concepts. Rather than subsidize the cost of heavily regulated insurance plans, this proposal would free up the market more, including more price variability, and offer tax credits to help defray the cost for people making up to three times the poverty level. In place of Medicaid expansion, the Republican plan would cap the federal Medicaid support, linking it to the Consumer Price Index. The plan effectively kills universal access by offering people a one-time chance to sign up for coverage, and it doesn't require that anyone obtain coverage, making the individual insurance market unsustainable yet again as primarily those who already know they're in ill health will flood the market and premiums will become unaffordable. If anything, the massive outreach campaigns required to push traffic to HealthCare.gov demonstrate the difficulty in getting young, healthy people to act in their own best interests. While this outline potentially salvaged some semblance of the broad health care access the ACA is achieving, Senator Hatch showed his hand with a subsequent Washington Post op-ed he shared with two other senators. Insisting that \"Republicans have a plan to help Americans harmed by the Administration's actions,\" you might be forgiven if you didn't realize the harm was simply enforcing one's civic duty to purchase affordable health insurance. Instead, Hatch and his colleagues hope to soften the blow by offering a transitional period so that marketplace health plans aren't immediately canceled after the Supreme Court issues its ruling, expected in June.

In a panic, he quickly started ripping at his pants as the phone began to melt the edges of his pocket shut, he said. \"I was trying to get it out of my pocket,\" he said. \"It started burning right through my pants. It was burning my leg, and I had to get my pants off somehow.\" Johnson's brother, who was with him at the time, decided driving him to the hospital would be faster than dialing 911, Johnson said. They drove to the Bayonne Medical Center in New Jersey. After being evaluated in the emergency room, Johnson was taken by ambulance to the Burn Center at Staten Island University Hospital. The burn center confirmed to CNN that he spent 10 days there receiving treatment. \"I still can't believe it,\" Johnson said. \"I've never dealt with anything like this before.\" He works as an operating engineer in New York City, maintaining escalators, cranes and forklifts. He said now he is at home with family in Lindenhurst, and a nurse comes in every day to change his bandage. In the meantime, he said, he hasn't even thought about buying a new phone. Mike Della, a personal injury lawyer on Long Island who is representing Johnson, says despite two phone calls and a letter, Apple had not yet responded to his queries about why his client's phone suddenly exploded in heat. CNN reached out to Apple, and the company stated that it is looking into the incident. Johnson purchased the phone last year and had not been using a battery case or third-party charger, Della said. \"First and foremost, we have to find out how this happened and prevent it from happening ever again,\" Della told CNN. \"That's the whole goal here. Is the product safe?\" Della said because of this case, he now is quick to take extra precautions with his phone. \"Now, every single time I have my iPhone, instead of putting it in my pocket, I put it in the seat next to me because of this case,\" he said. \"My wife does the same thing, and so does everyone else at the (law) firm. It's a little scary.\" \"You shouldn't have to worry about your phone exploding,\" he said.", "summary": "Erik Johnson says when he bent over to pick up his keys, \"I heard a pop\" His phone had exploded, he was burned and had to be hospitalized, he says .

+{"article": "(CNN)Think it's taking you longer to get to work? Has your job moved farther from your home? You're probably right on both counts. A new study from the Brookings Institution says the number of jobs within a typical commute distance for residents in major metro areas of the U.S. fell by 7% between 2000 and 2012. Despite trends that indicate a greater desire for millennials to live in dense urban areas, suburbs are still doing well, according to some researchers. Employers have tended to move toward the suburbs, away from city cores -- and away from many workers, the study says. Moreover, even if you already live in the suburbs, it doesn't mean you live close to the suburb where the jobs are. \"Suburban residents saw the number of jobs within a typical commute distance drop by 7%, more than twice the decline experienced by the typical city resident (3%),\" Elizabeth Kneebone and Natalie Holmes wrote in the study's summary. The issue disproportionately affects poor and minority residents, the authors added. \"Residents of high-poverty and majority-minority neighborhoods experienced particularly pronounced declines in job proximity,\" they wrote, observing that 61% of high-poverty tracts and 55% of majority-minority neighborhoods experienced declines in job proximity between 2000 and 2012. High-poverty neighborhoods were defined as tracts with poverty rates above 20%. The Brookings study comes as metro areas are coping with increased stresses on infrastructure. Tuesday's New York Times was filled with letters complaining about a subway fare increase and crowds at all hours in the New York system. In Atlanta, one suburban county recently added mass transit for the first time since 2010 -- even as the Georgia legislature has been gutting portions of a transportation bill. And a Detroit man garnered nationwide headlines in February because of his 21-mile commute -- a hefty chunk of which he walked due to a lack of transit options. The Brookings study observes that solving commuting issues \"will require collaborative solutions\" across jurisdictions. \"The dynamics that have shaped these job proximity patterns across and within metro areas did not emerge by themselves,\" Kneebone and Holmes wrote (PDF). \"Local, regional, and state leaders put them in play (whether purposefully or by default) through policy decisions. To foster growth that is truly regional in its reach and that does not exacerbate inequality or leave low-income and minority residents behind, communities will need to coordinate and collaborate as they plan and implement policy decisions that affect metropolitan development patterns.\"", "summary": "A new Brookings study says proximity to jobs is declining .

Email your story ideas and tips to CNNtips@cnn.com. What's more, administrators in charge of the massive VA facility in greater Los Angeles may have been hiding wait times, and may have misled Congress on the delays and exactly how long veterans are being forced to wait for care, according to new information obtained by CNN. This revelation means that the scandal over delays in care and wait times for veterans, which embroiled the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs last year and even led to the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, is apparently not over. And the changes promised by the VA and the Obama administration may not be working. The detailed new evidence comes from the Los Angeles VA's own internal documents obtained by CNN, and numerous medical and administrative sources confirmed the information. It is particularly significant as the Greater Los Angeles Veterans Medical Center is the nation's largest VA health care system, caring for hundreds of thousands of U.S. veterans. The VA documents show more than 12,700 appointments, which the VA calls consults, had been waiting more than 90 days to be addressed, as of mid-January. Even new patients seeking care at the Los Angeles VA for the first time can wait months to see a doctor there. Records show on January 15, more than 1,600 veterans who were new patients were waiting 60 to 90 days for appointments. Another 400 veterans have waited up to six months, and 64 veterans had been waiting six months to a year for their appointments. The documents provided to CNN show the lengthy wait times are still happening, within the last several months, and sources say the backlog is happening even now. And yet last month, the VA's acting director for the Western region overseeing the Los Angeles VA told Congress that veterans who are new patients there only have to wait a few days for appointments. \"The average wait time for a new patient right now is about four days,\" Dr. Skye McDougall, the acting director of the Desert Pacific Healthcare Network, Veterans Health Administration, testified before the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. But McDougall's statement is simply not true. According to the Los Angeles VA's documents dated January 15, the actual average wait time for new patients at the VA was 48 days. A half-dozen medical and administrative sources inside the LA VA system corroborate these waits. The wait times since then have not changed significantly -- coming down slightly to a wait time of 44 days for new patients as of March 1, according to another VA document -- and are still roughly 10 times what McDougall testified they were. The delays in appointments are even taking place at Los Angeles clinics for mental health, where documents show more than 300 veterans have been waiting more than 30, 60, even 90 days for treatment.

+{"article": "(CNN)America used to be a place where we said, \"Give me liberty or give me death.\" We live by a credo that \"freedom isn't free,\" and that our Constitution is worth dying for. How inspirational it is to believe that this is the wind of thought that blows underneath the Eagle's wings. Unfortunately, whenever that wind becomes just a little too gusty for comfort, we find out just how little relationship our poetic credo has to our collective guts. The latest example: Nine seconds of video of a number of boys singing an offensive song. Immediately, the University of Oklahoma expelled two of the boys for their speech. Forget whether you like the speech or not. That is not relevant. These boys got kicked out of a public school for singing a song, on their own time, in a privately rented bus, simply because the government didn't like the content of their song. Opinion: What's the right way to face racism? Censors overstepping their bounds is no surprise. What surprises me is how readily the public supported the expulsions, and how many supposedly intelligent people were willing to turn the First Amendment on its head, because of nine seconds of video. I don't like the song or its message either. I can't imagine anyone reasonable who would. But I want to live in a country where the government does not listen to my songs and then decide whether or not I should be punished, based on what words I used. That is not freedom. I understand that most of us hate racism. We are on a mission to eradicate it from all corners. But I am not willing to trade the First Amendment for a society where we don't need to hear racist words. In Abrams v. United States, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote a passage that ultimately became the cornerstone of a liberty-based view toward free speech, and which became the dominant theory in First Amendment jurisprudence. In Abrams, Holmes gave us \"the marketplace of ideas.\" And what a brilliant theory it was. Holmes noted that if someone was completely confident in the belief that they were right, then it would seem logical that they would want to suppress dissenting views. \"If you have no doubt of your premises or your power, and want a certain result with all your heart, you naturally express your wishes in law, and sweep away all opposition.\" Those who wish to eradicate racism are certain that they are right. I believe in a racism-free world. I have marched in counterprotests against the Ku Klux Klan. I've stood up in places you don't want to be, against violent neo-Nazis. And I would do it again. But I feel no kinship with anyone who would harm the First Amendment to fight racism. Some things are worse than racism -- like a loss of the right to speak your mind and think your own thoughts.

Search engine Baidu had no explicit message for its visitors, but the rotating ballerina turned into a bride and then a mom with a stroller. Internet users were quick to point out how the efforts of Baidu, China's biggest search engine, and Youku, dubbed China's YouTube, contrasted with global rival Google. Its doodle depicted women in several different professions, including a scientist, artist, astronaut, chef, musician, teacher and volleyball player. \"This is how you define women and celebrate them!\" said Weibo user @Zoexiaoyizi of Baidu's music box. \"Google's doodle just makes their stupidity even worse.\" Guo Weiqing, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, said that the companies' choice of imagery suggested that women are there only to be taken care of and look pretty -- and the real world of business should be left to men. \"Internet companies conveying such a narrow definition of women isn't good. It's exactly the opposite of the International Women's Day mission, which is fighting for gender equality,\" he told CNN. Baidu and Youku didn't immediately respond to calls for comment. The doodle uproar came as Chinese authorities detained several women right's activists this weekend. Some of them had planned to hold a nationwide protest against sexual harassment. On Monday, five were still being held police, said an activist and a friend of the women, who asked not to be identified. Beijing traditionally cracks down on activists during important meetings like this week's National People's Congress (NPC). \"In other countries, doing such things on International Women's Day is natural, while in China you get detained for fighting for women's rights,\" she said. \"Everything we've done is mild and done legally -- we call for gender equality in the college entrance exam and more toilet spots for women,\" she added. Under Chairman Mao Zedong, women famously \"held up half the sky\" but there is a growing sense that Chinese women today face more, not less, discrimination than in the past. The New York Times reported last month that women make up fewer than one in 10 board members at the country's top 300 companies. And China's state-run media often appears more concerned with women's looks and marital status than equal rights. Showing the same tin ear as Baidu and Youku, the People's Daily, the Communist Party's official newspaper, published an online gallery entitled \"Beauty with brains.\" It featured 18 snapshots of female journalists covering the NPC in Beijing this week.

+{"article": "(CNN)There is plenty of noise surrounding the nuclear deal that is being negotiated with Iran. But for all the heat generated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress and an ill-conceived, panicky letter to Iran's leadership organized by Sen.Tom Cotton -- the latest debate is creating little light. Indeed, it may actually be obscuring the fundamental issue of Iran's own foreign policies -- and whether Tehran's destabilizing activities abroad should preclude a deal at all. Unfortunately, few in Congress have taken the time to consider the matter in a thoughtful, coherent manner. There are, of course, certain realities that should not be in dispute: Yes, Iran is a regional adversary to a number of its Gulf neighbors and Israel. And it does aim to provoke Sunni-led Gulf states and generally to sow seeds of sectarian Islam abroad. In addition, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp's Quds force is alleged to have provided training and weapons to a range of militants -- Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, Houthi rebels in Yemen, disenfranchised Shia Muslims in Bahrain, and even to militant groups in West Africa. Most recently, Iran has been directing military operations by U.S.-equipped Iraqi forces against ISIS militants in Iraq, forces that have been aided by U.S. airstrikes. Netanyahu grasped the irony, starkly warning \"when it comes to Iran and ISIS, the enemy of your enemy is your enemy.\" (Although Sen. Marco Rubio appears to be confused, insisting at a March 11 hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Iran must be unhappy with U.S. airstrikes against ISIS). Yet the question that Netanyahu did not answer, and which Sen. Cotton and his 46 colleagues have not even asked, is what exactly should be done about Iran's activities abroad? Many in Congress fail to grasp that Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and his colleagues in Iran's Cabinet, with their U.S.-PhDs and understanding of plural democracies, are not cut from the same cloth as the hardliners in charge of Iran's Quds force (its commander, Qasem Suleimani turns up in Lebanon and Iraq despite a travel and asset ban). And yes, it was the Quds force that provided the explosives and operatives that led to significant U.S. casualties in the early years of the 2003 Iraq war. To answer the question of what to do about Iran's activities, it is important to understand that the nuclear agreement, while it has little to do with Iran's arms transfers or extracurricular activities in the region, can lay the groundwork for a far more serious engagement about Iran's role in the region -- and in a manner that addresses head-on the concerns of its Sunni neighbors, many of whom are eager to resume longstanding trading relationships with Iran. The reality is that Iran's reemergence into the international community in a postnuclear deal environment would allow the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to assert its interests in the region, and to lay out expectations of Iran as a constructive partner.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's called the Grand Renaissance Dam -- and the clue is in the name. With some 8,500 laborers working around the clock on its construction, the imposingly-named dam is surely one of Africa's most ambitious infrastructure projects, reaffirming Ethiopia's ambitions of becoming a big regional player and a major exporter of power. When completed, the project will generate around 6,000 megawatts of electricity for both domestic use and exports. The most striking aspect of the nearly $5 billion enterprise is, however, that it is entirely funded by Ethiopia, without any foreign investment. According to the authorities, 20% of the project is financed from bond offerings to Ethiopians, and the remaining 80% from tax collection. \"It was seen as a strategically important initiative that the government and the Ethiopian people are financing it 100%,\" says Zemedeneh Negatu, managing partner at Ernst & Young Ethiopia. \"They have come up with a very creative and innovative way that I think will be a lesson for other African countries who want to embark on such large infrastructure projects, and want to have the flexibility to do it themselves,\" he adds. Hydroelectric powerhouse . So far, Ethiopians at home and abroad have contributed about $350 million, and the government says that the 170 meter tall dam is on track for a 2017 opening, with 40% of the work already complete. Ethiopia's per capita income might be one of the lowest in the world, but the country has enjoyed an impressive economic growth since 2000, averaging 10.9% annually, which has resulted in a 33% reduction of people living in poverty. If the Grand Renaissance Dam and other hydroelectric projects, such as the Gibe III dam on the Omo river, are completed on time, The World Bank estimates Ethiopia could earn $1 billion a year from electricity exports. Negatu says that this would make the country the largest exporter of power in Africa, and second only to South Africa when it comes to installed capacity. Unhappy neighbors . Yet, not everyone is happy about Ethiopia's energetic drive to harness its water resources. The Grand Renaissance Dam is being built on Blue Nile, a tributary of the Nile River which has been powering the agriculture of Sudan and Egypt -- through which it flows -- for millennia. These countries have opposed the project in the past, fearing that the dam will reduce their share of the Nile water. The ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi had even threatened to defend \"each drop of Nile water with our blood if necessary\" back in 2013. Passions have been calmer more recently, and today the Reuters news agency reported that representatives of Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia reached a preliminary agreement in Khartoum on how to operate the dam. Negatu is convinced that a compromise will be reached, as he thinks that the dam will ultimately benefit not just Ethiopia but most other East African nations. \"This is actually a regional project because up from Egypt all the way down to Rwanda, countries are going to buy the power that's generated by this dam,\" Negatu", "summary": "Ethiopia is building the largest hydro-electric dam in Africa .

For instance, the #LikeAGirl campaign, which took a hammer to the notion that doing anything \"like a girl\" should be viewed as an insult, has become an international sensation. Less discussed, though, is the reality that our boys face damaging stereotypes too. That was the motivation behind a recent workshop held by SheKnows Media, a leading women's lifestyle media company. A group of New York City tween boys ranging in age from 8 to 10 got together as part of the company's Hatch program, which focuses on teaching digital literacy and citizenship to the next generation. The boys were shown dozens of advertisements perpetuating hypermasculine stereotypes, such as images of men all muscled up and not wearing shirts. In one ad for a big truck, the boys heard the tag line \"Can a truck change how people feel about a guy?\" Is the 'be a man' stereotype hurting boys? Another advertisement, this one for a clothing company, showed a man from the waist down along with the caption \"Wear the pants.\" \"That's a man wearing the pants so that shows that men are in charge,\" said one of the boys, who's 9. What was clear was that this group of boys knew what the advertisers were trying to get them to think, but they weren't exactly buying it. \"I play with girl toys and boy toys. I don't really care which one is meant for boys or for girls. I just play with them. They're toys,\" said another boy, also 9. \"Man up\" might mean toughen up and be unemotional, said another boy, who added that his image of what a man should be is completely different. \"If I were to describe the perfect man, the words would be smart, not judgy, and kind,\" said the 10-year-old. 'Dad' gets a makeover in Super Bowl ads . These boys certainly can't speak for all tween boys, but their comments reflect what appears to be growing attention surrounding the use of gender stereotypes for boys as well as girls. Seventy-six percent of men who took part in a recent online survey by SheKnows Media admitted using phrases like \"man up\" and \"be a man\" toward boys. Of the more than 1200 men and women surveyed from across the country, 73% said boys are most often described as \"aggressive,\" 69% said \"strong\" and 53% said \"athletic.\" When the men were asked about stereotypes during their teen years, 72% said they became aware of physical attractiveness and 50% said they grew more conscious about weight.

The awareness starts even earlier, according to a recent analysis of existing research on kids and body image by Common Sense Media, a child advocacy group.

So it may be no surprise that among the first artifacts to be brought up from the wreck of the CSS Georgia in Savannah are two sets of leg irons. \"We all know about discipline in the Navy,\" said Jim Jobling, a project manager with Texas A&M University's Conservation Research Laboratory. \"It is for restricting the mobility of a prisoner who wanted to desert or had committed a crime.\" Of course, the leg irons could have been used on a Federal sailor or soldier taken captive. But that didn't occur with the Confederate ironclad. It was scuttled in December 1864, having never fired a shot in anger while it defended the city. About 400 artifacts have been brought up by divers in the initial stage of the recovery of the CSS Georgia, which must be moved for a deepening of the shipping channel. \"We have scratched the surface as far as the artifacts are concerned. There are a lot more to come up,\" Jobling told CNN on Thursday. Texas A&M is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah to conserve many of the artifacts for eventual display. Archaeology isn't just about cool artifacts. It's about making a connection with the humans that used these items. And while experts haven't gleaned much about the daily life of the crew from the early dives, they have found some items that would have been used by an individual: An ironstone plate commonly used in the South, a musket trigger guard and the butt stock of a gun. Visibility at the site is practically nonexistent. Divers have to depend on feel to locate and remove smaller items. Much of it is is detritus of the wreck: small iron plates, nails and spikes. Among the items cataloged since the dives formally began at the end of January are two pieces that helped with the business end of the CSS Georgia: its cannons. Four of the artillery pieces are amid the wreckage about 40 feet down on the floor of the Savannah River. One iron piece had eyes, or holes, that connected a gun carriage to ropes that the ironclad's crew manipulated to move the gun forward and backward. Another piece, a trunnion cap, helped hold the cannon to the carriage. Divers and archaeologists are following a timetable and grid in the recovery, with smaller items being brought up by hand. A previous salvage effort and damage from dredging displaced some of the artifacts. Other items remain right where they fell. \"Someone undid the engine, moved it and was dropped\" into the depths, said Jobling.

Under the change announced by New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and city Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina, there will be no class for Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, starting next September 24. Another Muslim holiday, Eid al-Fitr -- a festival marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan -- will become a holiday for those in summer school starting in 2016. \"This is a common-sense change,\" de Blasio said Wednesday, \"and one that recognizes our growing Muslim community and honors its contributions to our city.\" The decision affects some 1 million students in New York City. While it's not known exactly how many of them are Muslim, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said that almost 1 million of the more than 8 million people in the city's five boroughs practice Islam and a 2009 Columbia University study found that roughly 10% of New York City public school students are Muslim. The move isn't a surprise, given de Blasio's campaign pledge to alter the school calendar with Muslim families in mind. \"Muslim students and their families who observe Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha shouldn't have to choose between an instructional day and their religious obligations,\" said Farina. \"This new addition will also enable a teachable moment in the classroom for our students to learn about religious tolerance and the societal contributions of various cultures.\" Linda Sarsour, executive director of the Arab American Association of New York and the parent of three public school students, said a plan in which students wouldn't have to choose between education and faith \"a win for our children and for future generations in this country.\" \"Muslims are a part of the fabric of this country,\" she said. \"We make our country proud, and today, New York City made us proud.\" New York City joins school districts in other states, including New Jersey, Massachusetts and Vermont, that similarly observe Muslim holidays, according to a news release from Farina's office.

Is it OK for a patient to choose to spend his or her final days on this mortal coil in what would amount to a medically induced coma? Or is it simply euthanasia in disguise? Members of the French Parliament offered resounding support Tuesday for the proposition that is should be permissible for doctors to induce sleep until death in terminally ill patients who are in pain. They approved a bill allowing that by a vote of 436-34. There were, however, 83 lawmakers who declined to vote -- a measure of just how contentious the issue has been. The bill goes now to the French Senate. Should it become law, doctors would be allowed to administer \"deep sedation until death\" to terminally ill patients who request it, and for whom palliative care would not ease the pain. The law would also allow doctors who have stopped life-saving measures to administer deep sedation, if they deem it appropriate, to terminally ill patients who are unable to give their consent. \"Everyone has the right to a death that is dignified and soothed,\" the proposed law says. And health professionals, it continues, should \"implement all the means at their disposal to fulfill this right.\" What the law entails, according to Jean Leonetti, the member of Parliament who proposed it, is simple: \"Sleep before death to avoid suffering.\" What it also entails is legal protection for doctors who, in fact, already sedate some dying patients, and who are sometimes taken to court by relatives as a result. Euthanasia is illegal in France, though President Francois Hollande promised in his 2012 campaign that he would reopen the issue. Polls show that more than 90% of French people support the proposal -- an astonishing majority for any proposal -- and Hollande has said it would represent a big step forward. But, as might be predicted, the proposed law has proved divisive in the extreme. Some lawmakers on the left of the political spectrum said in advance they would abstain from Tuesday's vote because they thought the bill did not go far enough toward legalizing euthanasia. And some on the right said they, too, would abstain, because they saw the law is a way of legalizing euthanasia in disguise.

There are several difficult issues still remaining,\"\u200e State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the talks in Lausanne would continue another day as \"long as the conversations continue to be productive.\" Diplomats and negotiators worked late as an initial deadline approached, but more time appeared necessary to reach a framework deal. How long talks will continue was unclear. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius informed the Iranians that he will return to Paris at dawn Wednesday in an apparent effort to force the Iranians' hand, Western diplomatic sources told CNN. Hamid Ba'idinejad from Iran's Foreign Ministry said earlier Tuesday there are no \"artificial\" deadlines and a deal will be reached, when each issue has been resolved. Diplomats told CNN that there has been progress, but gaps remain. For Iran, that means there's a light at the end of the tunnel for crippling sanctions. For the West, it means real hope that it's possible to loosen up on Tehran while still being confident that it won't develop nuclear weapons. The international sanctions relief issue has been resolved, according to Ba'idinejad. \"We have had long discussions on this, but there are issues that are related to sanctions that are still under consideration,\" Ba'idinejad said. He added that is not the only issue that needs to be worked out. The thing is, nuclear physics is complicated. So are the international dynamics anytime you're talking about Iran and the West, with mutual distrust and contempt a shared sentiment for years. That's why it's taken so long to even get to this point, and why what's happening in Lausanne matters. Before you can iron out nitty-gritty technical details in a permanent, comprehensive pact -- which carries the more important deadline of June 30 -- you have to agree on what you're going to talk about. What happens if Wednesday passes and there's no framework agreement? In the short term, it appears, not much. Iran's power rises, with or without deal . The real deadline isn't for three months, after all. As for the March 31 date, there's nothing to stop the parties from continuing to talk -- though an Iranian official told state-run Press TV that no one had raised the idea of an extension as of late Monday. \"All emphasize that the chance should not be missed, and they are all doing their best,\" Ba'idinejad said. So far, there's been a lot of meetings, with occasional smiles for cameras followed by foreign ministers talking behind closed doors. After working through the previous night, representatives from the key players -- most of them foreign ministers -- met all day Tuesday to try to resolve differences in what Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi described as \"the final stage\" of \"these marathon-like negotiations.\" The parties are either on the verge of a milestone agreement or still", "summary": "Sources tell CNN that French foreign minister has told Iranians he is leaving early Wednesday morning .

+{"article": "(CNN)It's hardly news to state that air pollution is bad for people's health. What might be more surprising to learn, though, is that air pollution is bad for the health of an unborn child, long before his or her lungs ever take their first breath. A growing body of research indicates that various forms of air pollution have a measurable impact on the health of babies, both in utero and after birth. We imagine the infant to be protected inside its mother's body, but pollutants can reach the baby the same way nutrients and medicine do. Lead, mercury and particulate matter are among the types of air pollution we know can impact the health of infants before and after birth. Ozone, or smog, is the next candidate for addition to the list of air pollutants known to be harmful to fetal health. Over the past several years, a number of studies have indicated a likely link between higher levels of maternal ozone exposure and poor health outcomes in infants, including changes in lung structure and function, low birth weight and neuro-behavioral abnormalities. Many of these health effects can be expected to have lifelong consequences. These are deeply concerning results that require more investigation to understand fully. These studies add to a substantial amount of evidence showing the ill effects of ozone for people of all ages. Estimates place the toll in 2007 at 15,000 premature deaths related to ozone among individuals of all ages. Ozone also causes shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing, asthma attacks, increased risk of respiratory infections and increased need for people with lung diseases -- such as children with asthma -- to get medical treatment or be admitted to the hospital. How can a pregnant woman protect herself and her growing fetus from the harm caused by ozone? After all, ozone is usually invisible (except in certain cases, as smog) and high levels are undetectable to the average individual. Summertime air quality alerts may help in some cases, but some pregnant women cannot avoid exposure. In addition, studies confirm that these daily pollution alerts are inadequate to protect our health because they are based on the present federal ozone standard, which does not include evidence from current, critical health science. In other words, the alerts sometimes fail to accurately indicate when the air is dangerous to breathe. Thinking that it's safe to work or play outside when ozone pollution levels trigger a yellow air quality alert (indicating a \"moderate\" level for ozone pollution) can significantly threaten the health of many vulnerable individuals. In order to truly protect our children, we need strong, national standards limiting ozone. Ozone forms in the air from emissions from a number of sources, but the biggest culprits are cars, trucks and other motor vehicles, as well as power plants. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new ozone standards in November that would bring limits in line with the science. EPA is accepting comments from the public on the standard until Tuesday, March 17, and both of our organizations have expressed support. An", "summary": "EPA has proposed stricter ozone standards .

Bachelet visited 14-year-old Valentina Maureira on Saturday after the girl's video went viral and spurred debate in Chile about euthanasia. Valentina was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when she was 6. Her older brother died from the same disease. Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disease that damages the lungs and digestive system. Valentina's family has already witnessed how the disease can be terminal. Valentina's suffering includes vomiting and headaches that are constant, according to her father, Freddy Maureira. The teen recently posted a video on her Facebook page, asking Bachelet to allow her to end her life. \"I am tired of living with this sickness,\" Valentina says in the video. \"Please authorize an injection so I can sleep forever.\" Bachelet visited Valentina on Saturday for more than an hour at the hospital. The country's minister of health also attended. During the visit, the President learned details about Valentina's health, whose condition has reportedly slightly improved, CNN Chile reported. The teen thanked Bachelet for the visit, and her father said he is holding on to hope for a lung transplant for his daughter, according to CNN Chile. Before the visit, the President had already stated her position on the impossibility of an assisted suicide for the girl. Not even the President can agree to Valentina's request because Chilean law does not allow euthanasia, Presidential spokesman Alvaro Elizaldo said. \"But what are we doing?\" Elizaldo said last week. \"The health ministry is in constant contact with Valentina's family, and we will provide all the emotional and psychological support and medical treatment to improve her living conditions.\" Valentina's case has caused an overwhelming response on social media. People took to Facebook and Twitter to discuss the debate on assisted suicide. One Twitter user posed the question in a tweet: \"After the case of Valentina Maureira, should euthanasia be legal?\" Doctor Andres Castillo, chief of pediatrics at Catholic University's Clinic Hospital, said that at the moment, Valentina's condition is stable.\" After her diagnosis, doctors expected her to live to about 17, which would give her three and a half more years to live.", "summary": "14-year-old Valentina Maureira suffers from cystic fibrosis .

Many of us abandoned the field by not voting in last year's midterm elections. Those of us who did vote elected more fire breathers than bridge builders to Congress. What's more, when we're invited to tell our representatives what we want, we can be as demagogic as they are. Remember the Town Hall meetings in the summer of 2009, which erupted in shouting matches between citizens and legislators over health care? Who can forget the Massachusetts woman holding a picture of President Obama defaced to look like Hitler, who demanded to know why former Rep. Barney Frank supported the \"Nazi policy\" of extending health care to all? His frank response: \"Ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. I have no interest in doing it.\" Rather than blame our leaders for the dysfunction, we need to change the game. We can turn to public forums to tackle big issues of the day.

Outside of the Beltway, in Southeast Florida, it's been five years since the region adopted a comprehensive climate action plan with 110 steps aimed at mitigating its dangers and reducing the region's carbon emissions. As research by Dan Kahan of Yale Law School shows, these counties took action not because Floridians are less divided over political issues, or less partisan, or more scientifically literate than the rest of America. No one sang Kumbaya or hugged a polar bear. Instead, Florida officials engaged their constituents through scores of open forums convened by governments, businesses and community groups. Local leaders appealed across party lines by framing the issue as one of protecting residents from rising sea levels and storm surges, rather than as a divisive referendum on whether to believe in climate science. Rather than seeing citizens as targets of a political campaign, officials governed with the diverse residents of their community to develop practical solutions that garnered broad support. \"We recognize each other's differences,\" explained Susanne Torriente, Fort Lauderdale's assistant city manager, \"but also recognize that if we work together we can make South Florida more resilient.\" Given what Florida accomplished, Gov. Rick Scott's ban on using the terms \"climate change\" in state policy discussions to avoid polarization looks smart, not smarmy. Florida is not alone. Our research identifies many successful examples of political deliberation in well-designed forums where citizens and officials engage in give-and-take discussion and arrive at solutions.

Traditionally at this time of year, a clutch of nervous owners in charge of struggling clubs in England's top flight grapple with the prospect of relegation, and the enormous hole it threatens to blow in their finances. Do they stick by a floundering manager hoping he can regroup and lead his team out of the mire, or do they get rid and hope the appointment of new coach can transform its fortunes? On Monday, Sunderland's American owner Ellis Short elected to twist and fired the club's Uruguayan manager Gus Poyet, confirmed by a statement on its official website. Less than a year ago Poyet masterminded a miraculous run of form that saw the north east outfit triumph at Chelsea and Manchester United in order to stave off the threat of demotion. Now that task is for someone else as Short and Sunderland try to protect the cool $106m it pocketed last season, with one eye on the new television deal in 2016 that's worth over $7.8 billion to the Premier League's 20 clubs. \"It's inevitable Sunderland will have been thinking about money,\" Simon Chadwick, professor of sport business strategy and marketing at Coventry University, told CNN. \"Particularly television money, because it now accounts for over 50% of most, if not all, Premier League clubs' turnover. \"It'd be very easy to say they are thinking long term about money and long term about the next television contract but in reality, very often it is short term thinking. \"Whilst I'm sure Sunderland are mindful of what's going to happen in 2016, they'll be even more mindful of what's going to happen in the summer of 2015 if they go down.\" The tipping point came Saturday when fellow strugglers Aston Villa fired in four unanswered first-half goals against Sunderland, having scored four away goals in its previous 14 Premier League matches. Some fans streamed out of the Stadium of Light before halftime while one group tried to storm the home dugout to confront Poyet. It left Sunderland just one point away from the drop zone and was enough to convince billionaire Short to swing the axe, the financial implications no doubt rattling round his mind. Even though Cardiff City, which finished bottom of the Premier League last season, still banked $92.1m for its efforts, the disparity between tiers one and two in England is vast. \"Most obviously, the TV revenues from the Premier League deal,\" Chadwick answered when asked what Sunderland stands to lose if it does fall through the trapdoor. \"Also attendances tend to diminish rapidly so your two biggest sources of revenue are almost instantaneously undermined. \"I wouldn't want to put a figure on it but you're talking tens of millions heading up towards potentially hundreds of millions.\" Ironically, Aston Villa were marshaled to victory on Saturday by its new manager Tim Sherwood, installed in the wake of Paul Lambert's sacking in February.

Life on Lake Nicaragua is peaceful, rustic and isolated, but this could change with the pending completion of a canal that builders are likening to Panama's famed waterway. Headed by Hong Kong-based consortium HK Nicaragua Canal Development Investment Company (HKND), the $50 billion Nicaragua Canal (also called the Nicaragua Grand Canal and Interoceanic Canal) would create a gargantuan new shipping route through Nicaragua by connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. HKND was granted a 50-year concession by the Nicaraguan government in 2013 to build and operate the 278-kilometer (172 miles) canal, reportedly with the option for an extension. Construction will run from the Rio Punta Gorda on the Caribbean Coast to Brito on the Pacific. At up to 1,700 feet wide and 90 feet deep, the canal, if completed, will be deeper and wider than the Panama Canal. HKND announced the start of construction of the canal with a ceremony on December 22, 2014. The canal will run through Lake Nicaragua (among other areas), Central America's largest lake and freshwater reservoir, which not only preserves an integral part of Nicaragua's ecosystem, but directly supports numerous communities. By some estimates, 30,000 people will have to be relocated to carve a path for the canal. The prospect is nothing short of alarming for those living in the area, and those who cherish its untouched splendor. With the pending completion of the canal in 2019, Lake Nicaragua may be impacted in ways only time will reveal. Environmental experts worry that the shallow waters of the lake won't be able to withstand the dredging that will come with construction. Additionally, communities will likely be displaced and wetlands may become more vulnerable to destruction. \"In terms of the canal impact on Lake Nicaragua, one big concern is the damage to the quality of the water; the ship traffic will pollute the water with toxic sediments and industrial chemicals and introduce destructive invasive species, plants and animals,\" Dr. Jorge A. Huete-Perez, vice president of the Nicaraguan Academy of Sciences and director of the Molecular Biology Center at the University of Central America told CNN. \"Dredging of the lake for the construction of the canal will render the lake a 'dead zone' because of hypoxia, eutrophication and turbidity.\" In January, London-based scidev.net reported that an independent commission of experts -- including scientists from the InterAmerican Network of Academies of Science, Nicaraguan Academy of Sciences and International Council for Science -- had reached similar conclusions, warning of \"unintended adverse consequences that could do economic, environmental and social harm.\" Like other critics of the canal construction, Huete-Perez wants greater transparency from HKND and the Nicaraguan government. \"This whole thing has been fast-tracked without public consultations or the opportunity for an informed, documented debate,\" said Huete-Perez. On January 9, 2015, HKND responded to concerns about the lake's impact on communities in a statement on its website. \"From July 21 to July 30, 2014, we and our environmental", "summary": "Experts fear proposed canal through Nicaragua could adversely affect Central America's largest lake .

Prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz died in the hospital from injuries he suffered during the attack, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said, speaking to reporters on Turkish television. The two gunmen who took the prosecutor hostage were killed in a shootout with police after a standoff that lasted for hours. Kiraz was assigned to the controversial case of Berkin Elvan, a 15-year-old boy who was injured during the anti-government Gezi Park protests in June 2013. The teen died the following March after having spent nine months in a coma. The case, with its overtones of possible police overreaction, has been politically contentious, just as the protests themselves were. In an online post widely cited in Turkish media, the left-wing Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front claimed responsibility for the attack. The post said the gunmen were seeking to avenge Elvan's death. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the gunmen as terrorists and said they were disguised as lawyers when they entered the courthouse. \"This is not to be taken lightly,\" he said. The gunmen took the prosecutor hostage around 12:30 p.m. in his office on the sixth floor of the Caglayan district courthouse, the semiofficial Anadolu Agency reported. Police evacuated that floor of the building, the agency reported, and snipers were deployed. An explosion, followed by sounds of more gunshots, could be heard coming from the courthouse Tuesday evening, hours after the siege began. Istanbul Police Chief Selami Altinok said Kiraz had been shot before Turkish security teams entered the room where the hostage crisis was unfolding. \"There is nothing else to do but to pray at this moment,\" Erdogan said.

The funeral service was attended by dozens of foreign dignitaries, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. \"The light that has guided us all these years has been extinguished. We have lost our founding father Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, who lived and breathed Singapore all his life,\" Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is one of Lee's sons, said in a eulogy. Lee died early Monday morning at age 91, prompting an outpouring of grief and tributes from around the world. He had been admitted to the hospital with pneumonia on February 5. Born in 1923, Lee co-founded Singapore, a former British colony, in 1965 when it declared its independence from Malaysia. He served as its prime minister for more than three decades, shaping the once poor trading post into a wealthy financial center. He continued to play an important role in government until his final years. After Lee's death, hundreds of thousands of people joined huge lines to pay respects to the former leader as his body lay in state at Singapore's Parliament House for several days last week. The procession Sunday weaved past a number of notable Singapore landmarks on the way to the University Cultural Centre, where the state funeral service took place. \"Together, we came not only to mourn. Together, we celebrate Mr. Lee Kuan Yew's long and full life, and what he has achieved with us, his people,\" his son said in his eulogy. Lee was also honored by a 21-gun salute and a minute of silence, as well as displays by the Singapore Air Force and the Singapore Navy. The funeral service was to be followed by a private cremation. Other international figures attending the funeral included Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Leader of the U.K. House of Commons William Hague and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Although Lee is admired for the economic success he helped Singapore achieve, he also drew criticism for curbing media freedoms and the treatment of political opponents. \"While remembering his deeds that helped build Singapore up to what it is today, the government should also mark the passing of Lee Kuan Yew, by making a break from the politics of yesteryear that were too often marked by restrictions on basic civil and political rights,\" Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch's Asia division, said in a statement Sunday.", "summary": "\"The light that has guided us all these years has been extinguished,\" Lee's son says .

After the judgment was released Thursday, Guardian Editor-in-Chief Alan Rusbridger said the paper was \"delighted\" about the Supreme Court's decision after what he said was a \"brilliant 10-year campaign by Guardian reporter Rob Evans.\" \"The government wasted hundreds of thousands of pounds trying to cover up these letters, admitting their publication would 'seriously damage' perceptions of the Prince's political neutrality. Now they must publish them so that the public can make their own judgment,\" Rusbridger said. Max Foster, CNN's royal correspondent, says the letters are part of a broader discussion about the role of the heir to the throne. \"These were private letters, never meant for public consumption, which is why the Prince's office has resisted their release,\" he said. \"But they play into a much bigger debate about the role of monarchy. Should Charles be getting involved in politics at all when, as head of state, he'll be expected to be politically neutral? He's not in that position yet so feels he has some leeway.\" Prime Minister David Cameron said the judgment was \"disappointing\" and the government would now look at how to release the letters. \"This is about the principle that senior members of the royal family are able to express their views to government confidentially. I think most people would agree this is fair enough,\" he said. Cameron suggested the legislation might need revision in light of the decision: \"Our FOI (freedom of information) laws specifically include the option of a governmental veto, which we exercised in this case for a reason. If the legislation does not make Parliament's intentions for the veto clear enough, then we will need to make it clearer.\" The Prince's official residence, Clarence House, issued a brief statement about the decision. \"This is a matter for the government. Clarence House is disappointed the principle of privacy has not been upheld.\" The anti-monarchy group Republic welcomed the news but warned that 2010 changes to the Freedom of Information Act to remove the public interest clause put future releases at risk. \"The government must now act to end royal secrecy. Any risk to the monarchy must pale against a risk to democracy from having an activist prince acting in secret,\" CEO Graham Smith said. \"We can't have a situation where we don't know what influence Charles is having on government policy.\" In a statement issued on the eve of the decision, Smith branded the monarchy one of Britain's \"most secretive institutions.\" \"Charles clearly has his own political agenda, yet his name won't be on the ballot in May.

+{"article": "Caracas (CNN)Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Saturday an unspecified number of Americans were arrested \"a few days ago\" for engaging in espionage and recruitment activities. The President said they included an American pilot of Latin American origin, arrested in the southwest border state of T\u00e1chira. He said the pilot was found in possession of \"all kinds of documents\" and was being interrogated by the authorities, though he did not identify him. The Venezuelan government has made many similar claims in recent years, without ever substantiating them. Maduro also announced Saturday a series of measures, including visa requirements for U.S. citizens and the downsizing of the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, to counteract what he called U.S. \"interference\" in his country. Venezuela has in recent weeks accused the United States of being behind an alleged coup plot. Speaking at an \"anti-imperialist\" rally in the capital, Maduro said visas would now be required for all U.S. visitors and that the U.S. Embassy in Caracas would now need foreign ministry approval for any meetings. The Embassy, which he said had more than 100 staff, is to be reduced to a number closer to the 17 Venezuelan diplomats based in Washington. Moreover, a group of prominent U.S. officials, current and retired, will be banned from entering Venezuela because of what Maduro said was their involvement in \"bombing Iraq, Syria and Vietnam\" and other \"terrorist\" actions. The officials include George W. Bush, former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, former CIA Director George Tenet and several current members of Congress, including Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Bob Menendez and Mario Diaz-Balart. Following the Maduro's announcement Diaz-Balart reacted via Twitter, saying he has \"always wanted to travel to a corrupt country that is not a free democracy. And now Castro's lap dog won't let me!\" The move comes after the U.S. government last month approved a law under which Venezuelan officials allegedly involved in human rights violations are to have their visas revoked and their U.S. assets frozen. A relatively small, but noisy crowd, dressed mostly in revolutionary red, applauded and cheered the measures announced by the President from a platform outside the presidential palace in downtown Caracas. Four missionaries from Bethel Evangelical Free Church in Devils Lake, North Dakota were released by Venezuelan authorities on Saturday, a church official said. Pastor Bruce Dick said the missionaries arrived in Venezuela on February 20 and were detained a few days ago. \"We love the Venezuelan people and have served alongside them for over 12 years,\" Dick said. \"We have been praying along with hundreds or thousands of others for their release and for those in Venezuela who also have been affected by this.\" It is unclear if the detention and release of these Americans is connected to Maduro's charges of espionage.

Corden's debut as the fourth host of CBS' \"Late Late Show\" on Monday night was one of the smoothest first episodes of any new talk show hosts in recent memory. Ignoring the usual five minutes or so of monologue jokes, Corden launched right into a star-studded pre-taped bit that showed how he got the job of host: by picking up one of CBS president Les Moonves' Willy Wonka-esque golden ticket dropped by Chelsea Handler (a joke referencing rumors that she was in talks for the job Corden won). Corden received advice from Jay Leno, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Meryl Streep as he trained to be the best host he could be. In a nod to one of his influences, Graham Norton, Corden brought out his two guests, Mila Kunis and Tom Hanks simultaneously. In the midst of their conversation, Kunis, who was sporting a ring, seemed to confirm (with a \"maybe\") that she had just married Ashton Kutcher, though that still hasn't been confirmed and it may be that Corden, Hanks and Kunis are pulling our leg. The highlight of the show, however, was Corden and Hanks' rapid fire rundown of his movie career, which has to be seen to be believed. Corden's predecessor, Craig Ferguson, sang the new show's theme song, and Corden - who co-starred in the musical film \"Into the Woods\" - ended his first show with an original song.

+{"article": "Jerusalem (CNN)Either Benjamin Netanyahu just staged the most dramatic political comeback in Israeli history and beyond, or something was very wrong with the polls before and during the election. Polls predicted a tight race coming down to the wire, with Netanyahu in a virtual tie with his main challenger, Isaac Herzog of the Zionist Union party. Only four days before the election, polls showed Herzog taking a four-seat lead into the final weekend before the election. Exit polls on the night of the election showed Netanyahu had closed the gap. The polls suggested he was in a dead heat, with a very even split between right-wing and left-wing parties. Then came the results. Not more polls or surveys, but actual counts from the ballot boxes. Netanyahu wasn't in a fight for his political life after all. He was the clear winner, running away with the election and facing a fairly clear path to create a coalition government. Although the results are unofficial, it seems almost certain that Netanyahu will remain the Israeli prime minister. Avi Degani, a pollster, professor at Tel Aviv University and president of the Geocartography Knowledge Group, saw very different results from his own polls. He never anticipated a Zionist Union victory. Instead, he says, he always saw Likud holding a lead. The mistake that others made, according to Degani, was in the methodology. \"The Internet does not represent the state of Israel and the people of Israel,\" he said, referring to modern statistical methods. \"It represents panels, and the panels are biased strongly to the center -- Tel Aviv, better-educated, more participants in this kind of conversation. And people who are in the periphery and so on and have the stronger tendency to vote Likud, I think, are poorly represented.\" \"I have tested sometimes at the same night, doing by telephone as I do always -- and very specifically geographically, and very well-weighted and very well, having cell phones and other phones and so on -- and at the same time I did on the Internet. And I got results which are very, very different.\" But Mina Tzemach, the polling expert for CNN affiliate Channel 2 Israel, suggests Netanyahu was in a tight race the entire way and managed to close the gap \"like a magician,\" using the election polls as his final trick. \"The polls showed that they are going to lose. It gave very important information both to the public and to the politicians. Netanyahu used it,\" said Tzemach. \"Many voted what we call strategic voting. They did not vote to the party that is their first preference, but they voted for the Likud.\" Likud voters did not participate in exit polls, according to Tzemach, and that skewed the results, leading many to believe that Herzog had tied Netanyahu. \"We had ballots in an area where there are a lot of immigrants from the former Soviet Union,\" explained Tzemach. \"In these ballots, more than 30% did not participate in our polls, and they are Likud supporters.\" Another factor that may have worked in Netanyahu's favor was", "summary": "Polls predicted a tight race coming down to the wire, with Netanyahu in a virtual tie with Isaac Herzog of the Zionist Union party .

Spend-thrift baseball executive Billy Beane -- made famous by Brad Pitt's Oscar-nominated portrayal in \"Moneyball\" -- is taking up a position with Dutch club AZ Alkmaar. \"I'm truly excited for the opportunity to be part of AZ Alkmaar in an advisory role,\" Beane told the AZ website. \"Despite being a great football club with a storied history, they face many of the challenges we have with the Oakland A's. My love for football and AZ's vision of the future of the club made this an attractive pursuit.\" The idea behind \"Moneyball\" is to obtain maximum value for each player bought or sold. Beane has had a longstanding fascination with European football, citing Arsenal's Arsene Wenger as a manager he admires for his blend of performance on the pitch and financial prudence. The American has said in the past that it was his dream to be an executive at a football club once his baseball career ended. It turns out he didn't have to wait that long. \"I think it's interesting and exciting for him personally,\" said Chris Anderson, co-founder of the sports analytics consultancy Anderson Sally. \"He's been a football fan for many, many years and is very well informed about the sport and industry. This is not as much a stretch as one might imagine; he actually knows football.\" Beane will retain his general manager duties with the Oakland A's, a team that remains competitive despite sporting one of the lowest payrolls in Major League Baseball (MLB). The A's have qualified for MLB's playoffs each of the past three seasons, only to be knocked out before the World Series every time. Critics of baseball's sabermetrics system -- using data to analyze the sport as exposed in Michael Lewis' \"Moneyball\" book which inspired the film -- are quick to point out that Beane has never won a title with the A's. In Holland, Beane won't need to start from scratch, as AZ currently sits comfortably in fourth place in the Dutch Eredivisie. AZ's director of football Earnie Stewart is a known \"Moneyball\" fan himself, having organized a screening for his fellow AZ execs shortly after joining the club. The former U.S. midfielder, who scored against Colombia in the 1994 World Cup, is half-Dutch and hopes the collaboration with Beane can give the club an extra edge. \"We've had a lot of contact with Billy In the last few months\", Stewart told the club's website. \"His knowledge and ideas are impressive. Also Billy's soccer network is excellent. We have already noticed that Billy thinks two steps ahead in the area of innovation. That's what really connects with the ambitions of AZ.\" Like the A's, AZ have managed to compete with the big boys of the Dutch league -- chiefly PSV and Ajax -- on a limited budget, winning the domestic league twice -- most recently in 2009 -- while finishing in the top five in three of the past five seasons.

+{"article": "(CNN)There are many things that immigrants could teach those of us who are U.S.-born. The biggest lesson may simply to be grateful for our rights and privileges. That includes the little things we take for granted. Like a small plastic card that not only allows us to drive on public roadways but also provides us a sense of identity. Imagine not having a driver's license and not being able to obtain one because the government prohibits it. Erika Andiola doesn't have to imagine. Until recently, the 27-year-old Phoenix resident and co-director of the Arizona Dream Coalition was barred from having a driver's license by Arizona. The reason: she is an undocumented immigrant born in Mexico and brought here as a child by her mother. Given that she arrived in the United States when she was 11 and has lived on this side of the U.S.-Mexico border longer than she lived on the other side, Andiola considers herself an American and this country her home. Under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which was initiated by the Obama administration, more than half a million undocumented youth were given a two-year reprieve from deportation and a work permit. Andiola is one of the recipients, having been granted DACA protection in November 2012 and a renewal since then. From that point, had she lived in another state, the process for getting a driver's license might have been much smoother. But she lives in Arizona, which -- in the 20 years from 1989 to 2009 -- welcomed illegal immigrants and their labor to build homes in Phoenix, work in restaurants in Tucson and make beds at ski lodges in Flagstaff but then tried to expel them when their chores were done. To push them out the door, legislators passed a spiteful law in 2010 that roped local police into enforcing federal immigration statutes and essentially sanctioned ethnic profiling of Latinos. In August 2012, on the same day that DACA took effect, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer issued an executive order preventing the program's recipients from obtaining driver's licenses or other public \"benefit.\" Brewer's order was challenged in court. Two years later, in July 2014, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Arizona policy as a violation of the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. With that, the estimated 22,000 DACA recipients who are also residents of the Grand Canyon State were free to apply for driver's licenses and take their driving tests like anyone else. Andiola got her Arizona license earlier this month, after paying a $25 fee that she'll have to pay every two years each time she renews it. I wondered what traveling that road taught her about that piece of plastic she carries with her. And I was curious about whether she had given any thought to how the native-born see driver's licenses compared to people like her. \"There is a pretty big difference,\" Andiola said. \"I think it's because we fought really hard for it.

+{"article": "London (CNN)Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, are to spend the next four days in the United States, visiting the nation's capital and Louisville, Kentucky. The couple arrived in Washington on Tuesday evening. Many people will remember Charles from the day in July 1981 when, as a dashing young prince, he kissed his shy bride, Diana, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in front of the eyes of the world. But many things have changed since then, including their divorce, Diana's death in a car accident in 1997 and his marriage to Camilla, now Duchess of Cornwall. Here are five things to know about the Prince of Wales: . While a lot of attention in recent years has been focused on his sons, Princes William and Harry, Charles is next in line to the British throne. His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has ruled for more than 60 years (in fact, in September she is expected to overtake her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria for the title of Britain's longest-reigning monarch.) Her longevity is welcomed by her subjects, but it means that Charles, at age 66, has spent a long time as a monarch-in-waiting. He's also now a grandfather, thanks to the birth of Prince George in 2013. Charles and Camilla tied the knot on April 9, 2005. The couple first visited the United States together as newlyweds, and Camilla was confronted by hard-core Princess Diana fans with abusive placards. Polls at the time found that between 57% and 73% of Brits opposed Charles' new wife being known as queen. If you go back even further, to 1997, the year Diana died, an Ipsos MORI poll put it at 86%. But there's been a change in sentiment since they married. A new poll conducted by ComRes for CNN found that only 35% now oppose Camilla being known as queen. Nearly one in four said they liked her more now than they did 10 years ago. In an exclusive interview with CNN royal correspondent Max Foster, Charles opened up about the couple's relationship. He met Camilla years before he wed Diana, who famously said in a 1995 BBC TV interview that \"there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.\" Reporter's notebook: Interviewing the royal couple . The prince has admitted talking to his plants in past TV interviews, inviting ridicule from some quarters. But as part of his interest in sustainability, he has championed organic farming and gardening for many years, including on his large country estates. He has a fully functioning organic farm at Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, England, and founded his own organic food brand, Duchy Originals, which now turns a healthy profit and helps fund his charitable foundation. According to his official website, he's an advocate of traditional rural skills and enjoys hedge laying.

Sadly Pankhurst never lived to see her dream become reality, dying three weeks before a law was passed giving women equal voting rights with men. \"What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it happening again\" -- Anne Frank's \"Diary of a Young Girl.\" The wisdom and wit of 13-year-old Jewish schoolgirl Anne Frank, written while hiding in Amsterdam during the Second World War, is one of the most widely-read books in the world with over 30 million copies sold. Her story of life under German occupation is a powerful record that has been translated into 67 languages and adapted for both film and theater, with her home itself turned into a museum. Frank died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945, just weeks before it was liberated. French existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir's 1949 book \"The Second Sex\" became a landmark feminist work. It analyzed the treatment and perception of women throughout history, and was deemed so controversial that the Vatican put in on the Index of Prohibited books. \"All oppression creates a state of war; this is no exception,\" said De Beauvoir, who along with partner Jean Paul Sartre was one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.

+{"article": "Concord, New Hampshire (CNN)Scott Walker brought his Midwestern swagger to New Hampshire on Saturday, leading a crowd of activists to cheers as he sought to draw a contrast to his top-tier rival in the unofficial GOP presidential race, Jeb Bush. The Wisconsin governor, amid charges from critics that he's a flip-flopper, also acknowledged that he had changed positions on immigration reform but argued that he's remained consistent in everything else. Walker was met with great fanfare at his only open event during his two-day stop to the first-in-the-nation primary state. Activists gathered at Concord High School for a training event that was hosted by the New Hampshire GOP and headlined by Walker's appearance. Jeb Bush makes 2016 debut in New Hampshire . The contrasts made against Bush were subtle, but Walker emphasized his modest roots as the son of a preacher and reiterated his penchant for shopping at Kohl's while armed with coupons. \"I actually stopped by Kohl's and bought this sweater in the rack where it's 70% off,\" he said, pointing to the sweater he was wearing. \"And we paid one dollar for it with our Kohl's Cash ... so, living the high life,\" he added. Walker has used his humble beginnings and department-store bona fides in Iowa as well, a strategy aimed to cement the fact that he didn't grow up with \"fame and fortune,\" as he frequently says. On Saturday, he also put on a cap handed to him by an audience member with the logo for Gun Owners of New Hampshire. \"You've got a first-rate record on the Second Amendment; we hope you'll wear the hat often and keep up the good work,\" the man said. Walker wore it for the rest of his time on stage. (While he may have donned the cap-and-sweater look Saturday afternoon, he was set to sport a tux later that night for his speaking appearance at the Gridiron Club's annual white-tie dinner in Washington, D.C. President Barack Obama was also scheduled to speak at the dinner.) Answering a question from another audience member, Walker laid down his staunch opposition to Common Core, a set of testing standards that Bush defended as usual during his visit to New Hampshire on Friday. Walker also stood against re-authorizing the No Child Left Behind Act, another topic on which the two Republicans disagree. Those comments came after Walker argued, in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times on Friday, that Bush would represent a step towards the past, rather than the future. \"We had Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney. If it's just whoever's next up, that hasn't worked so well for the Republican Party in the past,\" he said. \"Jeb's a good man. You're not going to hear me speak ill will of Jeb...I just think voters are going to look at this and say, 'If we're running against Hillary Clinton, we'll need a name from the future -- not a name from the past -- to win.' \" In his remarks Saturday, Walker also hit the President over foreign policy and took a shot", "summary": "The Wisconsin governor is on a two-day stop in the first-in-the-nation primary state .

But sadly, they are all-too-real examples included in a provocative new book \"Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be: An Antidote to the College Admissions Mania\" by award-winning New York Times op-ed columnist and bestselling author Frank Bruni. Those examples, Bruni said, should really be \"wake-up calls\" for any parents or students currently engaged in, or one day likely to be consumed by, the \"What school will I get into?\" annual game. \"This says that we are attaching a level of importance to this that is just completely bonkers,\" Bruni said during a recent interview.

It is being able to afford the school of their choice, or any school for that matter. But for many middle- and upper-income families, the college admissions process is as frenzied as ever with the belief that one school can make or break a child's future. I had to ask Bruni, whom I met during my time covering presidential politics, how exactly college admissions became so insanely intense and ridiculously competitive. We both laughed that the process was definitely not nearly as manic or as charged when we both went to college in the '80s. Bruni points to a number of factors all mixed together, creating \"this kind of perfect storm of just absolute fixation, panic, etc.\" about where kids are going to go to school, whether it's exclusive enough and whether they've \"breached the inner sanctum.\" There's the economic pessimism over the past decade, combined with a widening chasm between the haves and have-nots, he said. \"I think all of that has made parents feel anxious on behalf of their kids and has made them feel like their kids have to have anything that might be a leg up, and if an elite school is a leg up, well, then dammit, let's get them that.\" Adding to the dangerous brew, says Bruni, is the \"whole test prep and college coaching industry.\" Yes, it has become an industry, with parents and students willing to pay thousands of dollars to consultants for an extra edge.

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee called being gay a lifestyle choice, like drinking alcohol. I guess the next thing these two presumed 2016 presidential hopefuls will tell America is being black is a choice, too. Like it or not, it's no wonder Jeb Bush is emerging as the Republican Party's 2016 frontrunner. Of course, there is that awkward little name thing, something he seems fully aware of -- despite only being in the exploratory phase of a potential campaign, Jeb has already declared he's not just another Bush. \"A lot of people know my dad, they know my brother. As in everybody's family, we're all a little different,\" he reportedly told a crowd in Las Vegas this week. And he seems to keep trying to distance himself from his family. \"Do you have brothers and sisters? Are you exactly the same?\" he insisted. Yet Jeb is banking hard on the same vault of donors and operatives his father George H. W Bush and his brother George W. Bush used in their presidential campaigns. He's already raising lots of money, asking donors recently not to give more than a still eye-popping $1 million to his super PAC. \"They didn't need to be persuaded,\" Howard Leach, a Republican fundraiser for Jeb, told the Washington Post. So, what exactly is in a name like Bush? Apparently, a whole lot of cash, which helps win presidential nominations and elections. And if Jeb wins the nomination in 2016, it will likely be less \"joyfully,\" as he promised last year, than ruthlessly. After all, we're still more than 18 months from the election and Jeb's locking in many of the same kinds of consultants that worked with his brother and father. \"Those who hold out can sense a distinct chill,\" noted a recent New York Times article. Jeb's campaign is seeking to hire \"donors, advisors and operatives,\" wrote the Times, with \"deep connections to the Bush family's past presidential campaigns and administrations.\" Those same family members from whom Jeb swears he's different? And if consultants don't abide by Jeb's rules of loyalty and decide to work with other 2016 Republican aspirants? \"Swift rebuke follows,\" the Times notes, pointing to the example of IMGE, a technology company that reportedly fell out of favor with the Bush campaign after one of the firm's founders indicated IMGE was hoping not to be tied to a single candidate. None of this is to suggest that Jeb Bush doesn't have appeal as a candidate -- I like some of the things he did as Florida governor, like his record of cutting $19 billion in taxes and supporting school choice programs.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt have both spoken about the possibility of putting boots on the ground before. And on Saturday, Yemeni Foreign Minister Riyadh Yaseen said he expected coalition troops to be in Yemen within days. Saudi leaders have said that if troops do go in, they won't leave until they have degraded the Houthis' ability to do battle, CNN's Ian Lee reported. The Houthis are apt guerrillas. A fight on the ground could prove bloody and lengthy. Politically, the situation appears to be heating up. Ahmed Ali Abdullah Saleh, the son of former Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh, has been removed from his post as ambassador to United Arab Emirates, according to two aides of the nation's current President, Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi. Hadi fled the country in February amid the Houthi uprising. He went to Aden and declared that he remained the country's leader. Also on Sunday, pro-Hadi fighters took over Aden's airport, according to security officials in Aden, but that airport hasn't been operational for weeks. Yemen's ex-president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, a Shiite, still holds influence over large parts of the Yemeni army, and his troops are also fighting the government. In a taped speech played on Yemen Today TV on Friday, he called for the airstrikes to stop and offered in return not to run for president in the next elections. The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Shiite Houthis, who deposed the Yemeni government and seized territory in a series of offensives, began its military action last week. It answered Hadi's call for intervention with an unrelenting air campaign called \"Decisive Storm.\" Hadi slipped out of Yemen last week and has gone to the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to attend the Arab League summit, where he is rallying support with leaders of member nations for operation Determination Storm. Support is already broad. The coalition nations participating in the bombardments make up about a third of the league's membership. On Saturday, Hadi called the Houthis out: \"You violated the sovereignty (of Yemen), and you bear the responsibility for what happened and what is going to happen.\" Dozens have died from the coalition bombardment. Houthi commanders put the death toll at 48. Most of the dead are civilians, they said. Airstrikes have hit Houthi militant groups, smashed their big air defense guns and crumbled key infrastructure that links major towns with the capital, Sanaa, a Saudi official has said.

+{"article": "(CNN)The Iran nuclear negotiations in Lausanne, Switzerland, reportedly have made substantive progress, inching closer toward a provisional agreement between the P5+1 and Iran. While the talks continued to unfold this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu restated his concern about an agreement with Iran, vowing \"to continue to act against any threat.\" If an agreement is reached, the international spotlight will turn to Israel, in anticipation of its possible reaction. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe \"Bogy\" Yaalon stated that a deal is \"a tragedy for the whole world.\" The question is, however, what can Israel really do once a deal is signed? In recent days, notable conservatives in the United States have attacked President Barack Obama's handling of the negotiations with Iran, arguing that a bad deal will force Israel's hand, leaving it with no choice but to attack Iranian targets. But is this a realistic conclusion? Israel's stated \"all options are on the table\" policy toward Iran has been in place for years and is based on the assumption that if a diplomatic solution to the nuclear problem cannot be reached or is not to its liking, Israel can decide to opt for a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. Thirty-four years after the successful Israeli bombing of the Osirak nuclear facility in Iraq, military experts have little doubt that the Israeli Air Force today is capable of reaching Iranian airspace and bombing targets above and below ground. Therefore, the question is not one of military capability but more about domestic political and geopolitical strategy. With an Iran deal in place, the Israeli leadership may face stern objections from the heads of the Israeli defense establishment, which will make it difficult but not impossible to take such a decision. Nevertheless, if it remains keen on pursuing a military option, the Israeli leadership will have to consider the following set of consequences that will likely result from such a decision: . \u2022A successful military strike on Iranian installations may degrade Iran's nuclear program, setting it back several years, but it would not completely eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities. Iran would likely be able to resume activity in new facilities soon after such an attack, with more international legitimacy to embark on a military nuclear program, in the face of future military challenges to its sovereignty and stability. A deal between the P5+1 (the United States, China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and Germany) and Iran is expected to include a 10-year (or more) \"sunset provision\" that is much longer than the period it will take Iran to get its program back on track in case of an Israeli attack. \u2022A military attack against Iran after a deal is signed would put Israel on a collision course with the P5+ 1, who were negotiating the contours of a deal with Iran, as well as with other members of the international community.

She arrived for class beaming with excitement about the journey she was about to begin -- participation in a yearlong academic theology program sponsored jointly by four Atlanta seminaries. Since she has been sentenced to the death penalty and lives in solitary confinement, Kelly was particularly eager to share community with others, if only one morning a week. And she was grateful for the opportunity to explore the Bible and theology in a rigorous manner that would nurture and deepen her devotional life. That image of her on the first day of class remains vivid to me because it captures the core of who Kelly is \u2014 who she has become: someone full of contagious joy and gratitude, open to others and to new experiences for growth and ministry. Kelly's process of transformation began shortly after she arrived in prison following her conviction for murder in the death of her husband, Doug Gissendaner. A pastor began visiting her and initiated a series of difficult, yet compassionate, conversations that urged her toward courageous self-reflection. This same pastor has been visiting Kelly for almost 16 years. Her commitment to Kelly, along with that of the prison chaplain and chaplaincy interns, provided steady, ongoing love that fostered change. So by the time I met Kelly in 2010 she had already undergone a significant transformation. She was, in the words of the Apostle Paul, a \"new creation\" (2 Cor. 5:17). In the theology program, Kelly found her own voice and came to see that her reflections on Christian faith could be a gift to the wider church \"on the outside,\" as well as in prison. By studying historical and contemporary Christian thinkers, Kelly became part of the conversations that make the Christian tradition dynamic. She asked honest questions about her relationship to God, others and the world. She read scripture and grappled with centuries-old theological questions. She discovered her authentic theological voice in the midst of this work. \"From the start of the theology class I felt this hunger,\" she said in her 2011 graduation speech. \"I became so hungry for theology, and what all the classes had to offer; you could call me a glutton.\" One of the great joys of being a theology professor is getting to know students holistically, not only as thinkers, but also as human beings wrestling with some of life's most urgent questions. My relationship with Kelly had this quality from the start. But it deepened six months into the year when a new warden arrived at the prison. In her graduation speech, Kelly described this moment: . \"There came a time when ... my worst fears became my reality -- I was pulled from the courses. I was taken from my theological community.

+{"article": "(CNN)Modern women are suffering from an energy crisis. Competing in the workplace, caring for aging parents and trying teenagers, and busier than ever, we use anything we can to duct-tape our lives and ourselves together: comfort foods, alcohol, energy drinks, and an expanding array of antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, painkillers and amphetamines. All in an effort to maintain our unnatural pace. Welcome to the increasingly altered states of America. Americans are about 5% of the world's population, yet we take half its pills, and 80% of its painkillers.This over-medication has led to record numbers of opiate overdoses and also to a growing number of women taking antidepressants -- one out of four and counting, according to a report issued by the pharmacy benefit manager, Medco. This is creating a \"new normal,\" bringing closer the tipping point for when other women will seek chemical assistance. Like steroids in baseball, when everyone starts doing it, the players who don't are at a disadvantage. The overuse of psychiatric medication is called cosmetic psychopharmacology, and it's like cosmetic surgery: as more women get breast implants, the rest of us feel flat chested. But the new normal isn't normal at all. Certain antidepressants called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) create artificially stable and elevated levels of serotonin, the brain chemical that helps regulate mood, which can dampen empathy and emotional reactivity, while higher doses can engender apathy. Women are naturally moody. Our moods change, and this emotional fluidity helps us to be adaptable and resilient. We are dynamic and responsive to our environment. There is a biological advantage to this sensitivity; we need to know what our nonverbal babies need, what our mates are thinking and to sense danger in our surroundings. Moodiness -- being sensitive, caring deeply and occasionally being acutely dissatisfied -- is actually a natural source of power. It helps to ensure not only our survival, but that of our offspring. Women's emotionality is a sign of health, not disease, and it is our single biggest psychological asset. Yet many of us are being convinced to medicate it away. The pharmaceutical industry spends billions in payments to physicians and direct to consumer advertising. Nine out of 10 pharmaceutical companies spend less on research and development than marketing.Steady doses of antidepressant advertising aimed at women advance the question from \"Should I take an antidepressant?\" to \"Which one should I take?\" These medications can have more far-reaching effects than most people realize, blunting empathy, passion, and sensitivity. SSRIs dampen sexual desire and response, making it difficult to climax and interfering with the evaluation of potential romantic partners. SSRIs also make it hard to cry, an important signal to ourselves and those around us that something is very wrong. Tears, and the emotions beneath them, can offer a profound lesson in how people's behavior affects others.

+{"article": "(CNN)One of the most pernicious phrases in the debate over how to counter extremist use of social media is \"whack-a-mole.\" In national security circles, many believe that suspending social media accounts used by violent extremists is a pointless endeavor. They argue that, as in the children's arcade game \"Whac-a-Mole,\" suspending accounts is a fruitless endeavor because, they claim, new accounts are created for every account that is suspended. To examine this assumption, technologist Jonathon Morgan and I collected data on millions of Twitter accounts, including tens of thousands used by ISIS supporters, and found substantial evidence to the contrary. In September 2014, Twitter began to crack down on ISIS supporters who used its platform, suspending tens of thousands of accounts over the course of several months. While many users did create new accounts during the first month of the crackdown, the number of new accounts plunged after September, even though suspensions increased. Twitter has indicated that its suspensions fell at least at the high end of our estimated figure, possibly even higher still. The result is that suspensions are outpacing the number of new accounts successfully created, possibly by a wide margin. The size of ISIS's support network on Twitter is shrinking as a result. Additionally, we found that the suspensions targeted some of the most active and effective users in the network, the professional activists who empowered ISIS to broadcast its propaganda to unsuspecting audiences by spamming hashtags such as #WorldCup and #CakeBoss. Not only has ISIS suffered a blow to its ability to spam others, its supporters on Twitter are so weakened that they are now hoist by their own petard. The hashtag that ISIS uses to promote its own messages has been taken over by opposing spammers, trolls and activists, who frequently tweet five times as much anti-ISIS content as ISIS can muster on any given day. ISIS content continues to be available online, of course. The number of suspensions is not sufficient to completely deny them the use of Twitter. But their audience is shrinking and their ability to game Twitter with manipulative tactics such as auto-tweeting \"bots\" has been significantly diminished. An estimated 10% of tweets sent by ISIS supporters are directed at rebuilding their social networks rather than disseminating propaganda, and that doesn't account for the additional impact of time lost to the process of creating new accounts and waiting for followers to find them. These are worthy goals, and they detract from ISIS's ability to accomplish its online strategy of intimidation, provocation and recruitment, which is discussed at more length in my new book with Jessica Stern, ISIS: The State of Terror. ISIS users call the suspensions \"devastating\" and their fury provides evidence that suspensions hit them where it hurts. But that doesn't mean suspensions are ineffective, any more than a cold day outside invalidates decades of temperature trends that show the impact of climate change.

In a widely shared piece this week for Fortune.com, the journalist-turned-startup executive apologizes for disparaging the mothers she worked with in her 20s at the Huffington Post and Washington Post. Zaleski said she committed multiple \"infractions,\" against these women, including scheduling late-afternoon meetings or happy hours without considering that mothers with after-work responsibilities wouldn't be able to attend. She even didn't disagree \"when another female editor said we should hurry up and fire another woman before she 'got pregnant.' \" Now a mother to a young daughter, Zaleski said she was wrong to undervalue mothers' contributions by counting hours logged in the office and not the actual work done. \"I wish I had known five years ago, as a young, childless manager, that mothers are the people you need on your team,\" she wrote. \"There's a saying that 'if you want something done then ask a busy person to do it.'

Some people refuse to accept Zaleski's apology and accuse her of borrowing from similar apologetic essays by other new moms. \"This woman has basically stolen another woman's post about her views on mothers with children in the workforce for her own personal gain!!,\" wrote one commenter on Zaleski's essay.

Zaleski said that notion is \"just silly,\" and she's taken a huge risk leaving a stable job to start a company that is a part of the solution. Zaleski said her company, which launched in August, enables women to work from home so that they can \"be valued for their productivity and not time spent sitting in an office or at a bar bonding afterwards.\" But some critics say encouraging mothers to work from home only perpetuates a problem. \"I like this article a lot, but wish the solution", "summary": "Katharine Zaleski said she judged working moms before she became one .

Mayor Frank Jackson told reporters the city was apologizing to the Rice family and the people of Cleveland for the wording of a legal filing last week, which said the death of Tamir, a 12-year-old who was shot by police in November, was the sixth-grader's own fault. \"We did something that ... is hurtful to the family, that is disrespectful to them and the victim as well as the city of Cleveland,\" he said. The wording in the legal filing, Jackson said, was standard language used in legal defense, and the insensitivity \"was not intended.\" But now, he said, the city will be rewording its filing -- a decision he pushed for as soon as he found out about it. \"What I care about right now is that the family of Tamir Rice and the people of the city of Cleveland understand and realize that we are sorry for what we have done and that we apologize to them,\" Jackson said. Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Rice family, said the mayor's apology didn't go far enough. \"I don't want him just to apologize for the poor word use and the grammatical phrases,\" Crump told CNN's \"The Lead with Jake Tapper\" on Monday. \"I want him to apologize for the death of this 12-year-old child, one of his citizens, at the hands of what we believe were police officers who were improperly trained.\" Cleveland Police Officer Timothy Loehmann fired the fatal shots at Tamir in November within two seconds of arriving outside a recreation center where the 12-year-old was playing with a pellet gun. \"They never even gave him a chance,\" Tamir's mother, Samaria Rice, told CNN's \"Erin Burnett OutFront.\" The whole world has seen the same video like I've seen, and I'm sure the whole world is saying, 'You guys never gave him a chance.'

+{"article": "(CNN)A 20-year-old man from the St. Louis area has been arrested in connection with the shooting of two police officers during last week's protests in Ferguson, Missouri, a prosecutor said Sunday. Jeffrey Williams was arrested late Saturday, and he has been charged with two counts of first-degree assault, a count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal activity, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch said at a news conference in Clayton. \"The demonstrations were pretty much over (when the officers were shot). People were leaving, and that's when this happened,\" he said, describing Williams as a demonstrator who had taken part in protests on numerous occasions. At the time of his arrest, Williams was on probation for receiving stolen property, and McCulloch said he believed Williams had an outstanding warrant after not reporting to his probation officer for several months. The prosecutor repeatedly thanked the public for the information that led to the arrest. He also said that, because of the public's assistance in the case, police were able to serve a search warrant on Williams' residence where they seized a .40-caliber handgun, \"which has been tied to the shell casings that were recovered\" at the scene of the shooting. Williams is being held on a cash-only $300,000 bond, McCulloch said, adding that it's possible Williams could face more charges and that others could be charged in the case. One element of the case that authorities have yet to sort out is intent, McCulloch said, adding that Williams has acknowledged firing the shots but has said he wasn't aiming at the police officers. Investigators are not sure they \"buy\" Williams' claim that he opened fire after a dispute with other individuals, McCulloch said, but he didn't rule it out. \"It's possible he was firing at someone else,\" he said, urging any other witnesses with information to come forward. Bishop Derrick Robinson, an area organizer, challenged the idea that Williams was a well-known protester. \"I asked him (Williams) why would he say that he was a protester because it makes us look bad -- because so many things that we've done to rebuild our community. It sets us like five steps back to say that it was a protester who did it, but he admitted to me that he'd never protested,\" said Robinson, who spoke to Williams on Sunday. Robinson added: \"We won't allow this to distract us from our mission, and from purpose, because we will continue to fight.\" The shootings occurred Wednesday night. The shots rang out from a hill overlooking the city's police station shortly after midnight Wednesday, at the end of a protest against the Ferguson Police Department, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at the time. Officers saw \"muzzle flashes ... about 125 yards away,\" Belmar said. \"We could have buried two police officers,\" Belmar told reporters last week. \"I feel very confident that whoever did this ... came there for whatever nefarious reason that it was.\" Public donations poured in to be used toward a reward to find", "summary": "Jeffrey Williams, 20, is charged with two counts of first-degree assault, prosecutor says .

Vonn's victory in the super-G event at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany gave her the outright lead in the speed discipline ahead of this month's finals in France. Having finished seventh in Saturday's downhill, the 30-year-old rebounded by coming home 0.2 seconds ahead of overall World Cup leader Tina Maze, whose coach set up the course. It put Vonn eight points ahead of super-G world champion Anna Fenninger, who placed third to give back the 20 points she'd earned over Maze the day before -- when their positions were reversed. \"I think it was set probably against Anna,\" said Vonn, who took bronze behind Maze at last month's world championships in Colorado. \"That was a wise choice by Tina's coach. But it also really suited me and I liked it.\" \"It's going to be a close fight in downhill and super-G, so I will really have to ski my best at the finals in Meribel. Hopefully I can get two titles,\" added Vonn, who is 35 points ahead of Fenninger in the downhill standings. But Vonn is well off the pace in the fight for the overall crown -- which she last won in 2012, her fourth success -- in third place almost 200 points behind the Austrian. Maze is another 44 points ahead of Fenninger, with just two slalom events in Sweden next week before the March 16-22 finale. \"Of course it's a great result but I prefer to win,\" the Slovenian said. \"Lindsey was simply better today and she deserves this win. \"My whole team stands behind me and supports me and I am really thankful to them. Valerio did a great job setting the course. It was a fast and nice course set with not too many turns.\" Fenninger, who also won the world giant slalom title at Beaver Creek, said she will focus on her strengths after claiming a 12th podium this season. \"It was a fast super-G and that's maybe not what I am the best at,\" said the 25-year-old. \"Overall it's been a good weekend. Honestly I thought Tina was going to be better than me in the downhill and that I would catch up in the super-G. It turned out to be different. \"I am focusing on my strengths, this is why I am not going to race slalom next week.

+{"article": "(CNN)With the discovery of a gray, fossilized jawbone in a remote corner of Ethiopia, a student at Arizona State University may have changed our understanding of our earliest ancestors. The partial lower jaw is the oldest known fossil evidence of the genus Homo, to which modern day humans belong, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Science. The jawbone has been dated to 2.8 million years ago -- which predates the previously known fossils of the Homo lineage by approximately 400,000 years, according to Arizona State University. Chalachew Seyoum, a graduate student from Ethiopia, came across the fossil -- the left side of a lower jaw with five teeth -- while on a field expedition in the Afar region of eastern Ethiopia in 2013. \"Honestly, it was an exciting moment,\" Seyoum said, according to a news release from the university. \"I had good experience in field surveying and knew where potential sediments are. I climbed up a little plateau and found this specimen right on the edge of the hill.\" The age of the fossil means it could help fill in an important gap in our knowledge. Fossil found by fisherman may reveal new type of ancient human . It also means the Homo genus could have evolved nearly half a million years earlier than previously thought. Researchers have previously found fossil remains dating back 3 million years or more, such as the skeleton of \"Lucy,\" the famous 3.2 million-year-old remains of the species Australopithecus afarensis. Those remains were found in 1974 not far from the site of the latest discovery. Scientists have also found fossils that are 2.3 million years old and younger, which are in the genus Homo and are closer to modern day humans. But until now there has been little fossil evidence from the 700,000 years in between -- a crucial period in the evolution from hominids like Lucy to the Homo genus. \"The importance of the specimen is that it adds a data point to a period of time in our ancestry in which we have very little information,\" said William H. Kimbel, director of ASU's Institute of Human Origins, in the university's news release. \"This is a little piece of the puzzle that opens the door to new types of questions and field investigations that we can go after to try to find additional evidence to fill in this poorly known time period.\" The jawbone, found in the Ledi-Geraru area of the Afar region, combines features seen in Australopithecus afarensis with those seen in later specimens of the Homo genus, according to the study. Professor Kaye Reed, of Arizona State University, said the discovery was the result of years of searching in the area. Surveying began in 2002, she said, but researchers only began to pick up fossils in the area where the jawbone was found in 2012, having realized the sediments there were old enough to yield Australopithecus afarensis specimens. \"Instead, we were rewarded with a much more exciting discovery,\" she said. Already the team has been able to establish that this early", "summary": "The jawbone was found in Ethiopia's Afar region, not far from where \"Lucy\" was discovered .

+{"article": "(CNN)Vladimir Putin lies. Blatantly. Publicly. And, apparently, without chagrin. But a year since the annexation of Crimea, what does that mean for the West's ability to deal with him regarding Ukraine? In February 2014, \"little green men\" -- the Ukrainian term for professional soldiers wearing Russian combat fatigues but no identifying insignia -- seized key installations and checkpoints around Crimea. The Russian President's website reported the following exchange at a March 4, 2014, news conference: . Question: \"The people who were blocking the Ukrainian army units in Crimea were wearing uniforms that strongly resembled the Russian army uniform. Were those Russian soldiers, Russian military?\" Vladimir Putin: \"Why don't you take a look at the post-Soviet states? There are many uniforms there that are similar. You can go to a store and buy any kind of uniform.\" Question: \"But were they Russian soldiers or not?\" Vladimir Putin: \"Those were local self-defense units.\" Within weeks, Putin admitted they were Russian troops. At the same news conference, Putin said he saw no possibility of Crimea joining Russia and said Moscow would do nothing to \"provoke\" that. Two weeks later, he presided as the Russian parliament passed legislation annexing Crimea. In a documentary shown on Russian television last Sunday, Putin said he gave the order to take Crimea on February 23, 2014. So, it is clear that Putin can and does lie. But with that in mind, how should Western leaders who must deal with him actually do so? First of all, they should bear in mind Ronald Reagan's \"trust but verify\" dictum. Second, while Putin may play fast and loose with the truth, he appears to be a rational actor who calculates costs and benefits. The challenge for the West is to structure agreements so that it remains in his interest to observe them. Take the 2010 New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which limits U.S. and Russian strategic forces to no more than 1,550 deployed strategic warheads on 700 deployed missiles and bombers. The agreement requires data exchanges, notifications and on-site inspections. The Russians might be able to cheat a little, but not in a way that would give them a militarily significant edge without the United States having time to react. And the Kremlin has incentives to observe the treaty. If Russia violated it, the United States could relatively quickly add 1,000 strategic nuclear warheads to its deployed ballistic missile force. The U.S. government concluded last summer that Russia violated a 1987 treaty by testing a banned intermediate-range ground-launched cruise missile. As far as is publicly known, Moscow has not taken the more serious step of deploying the missile. Washington now seeks to persuade Russia to come back into full compliance and has threatened a variety of costs, including possible military countermeasures -- on top of the opprobrium of Russia's European and Asian neighbors, who would be targeted by such a missile. (It could reach little, if any, of the United States.) The costs of noncompliance for Moscow could be significant.

The remains of the medieval monarch were sensationally rediscovered beneath a blanket of tarmac in the center of Leicester in August 2012. They have been pored over by scientists at the city's university ever since, but after more than two years of legal wranglings, the bones were finally laid to rest Thursday in a coffin built by Richard III's distant relative, Michael Ibsen, whose DNA helped prove their identity. It was standing room-only at Leicester Cathedral -- which had been partially rebuilt for the occasion -- as Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby led prayers for the long-dead King, swinging incense and sprinkling holy water over the casket, before scattering it with earth from key locations marking his birth, life and death. Oscar-nominated actor Benedict Cumberbatch, a distant cousin of England's last Plantagenet King, read a poem dedicated to Richard III, written by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy. \"My bones, scripted in light, upon cold soil, a human braille. My skull, scarred by a crown, emptied of history. Describe my soul as incense, votive, vanishing; your ownthe same. Grant me the carving of my name.\" Queen Elizabeth, represented at the ceremony by the Countess of Wessex, sent a special message to mark the reinterment, which she hailed as \"an event of great national and international significance.\" \"Today we recognize a King who lived through turbulent times and whose Christan faith sustained him in life and death,\" it read. But though it bore many of the hallmarks of grief -- polished coffin, empty tomb, relatives clad in gloomy, pitch-dark suits -- this was not, the organizers insisted, a sad occasion. \"This is not a funeral at which we mourn,\" said Professor Gordon Campbell, of the University of Leicester, welcoming the congregation to the cathedral, just yards from that famous parking lot. Instead, the aim of the service was to offer Richard III a fitting farewell, and a lasting memorial -- neither of which he was granted following his death at Bosworth in 1485. Back then, his body was slung over a horse and carried back to Leicester -- legend has it that his head struck Bow Bridge on the way -- before being put on display for three days, to prove to friends and foes alike that he really was dead, before being slung into a hastily-dug grave at the Church of the Grey Friars. Now Richard's bones, accompanied by a specially-crafted rosary, recognizing his Catholic faith, rest in a lead-lined coffin of English oak, his grave marked by a 2.3 ton block of pale Swaledale fossil limestone resting on a plinth of black Kilkenny marble carved with his name, dates, coat of arms, and his symbol: a white boar.

+{"article": "Paris (CNN)French lawmakers are weighing a ban on extremely thin models. New legislation debated in Parliament Tuesday would require modeling agencies to get medical certificates from models proving that their body mass index is at least 18. Models would also be required to undergo regular weight checks. And agencies that violate the law could face fines and even possible prison sentences. Dr. Olivier Veran, a doctor and French lawmaker who's proposing the measures, said it's time to put a stop to the practice of pressuring models to be so thin that it's dangerous for their health. \"We want to combat the idea that an agency could urge a model to stop eating; for example eating cotton balls to lose their appetite, to always lose more weight,\" he said. Seeing models' bones as they parade down the catwalk is a troubling trend, Veran said. \"We have had chief editors of prestigious magazines tell us that more and more often, they are obliged to use Photoshop, not to make the models look slimmer,\" he said, \"but to erase the tracks of bones under the skin, to make them look bigger.\" Vernan's proposed amendments to a health bill would also target the dark online world of pro-anorexia websites that promote self-starvation and encourage young women to post photos of their emaciated frames. The average BMI for a woman in France is 23.2 -- the lowest average in Western Europe, according to a 2009 study from France's National Institute of Demographic Studies. In France, Veran said, 30,000-40,000 people suffer from eating disorders, mainly teenagers. Marisol Touraine, France's minister of social affairs, expressed her support for the new anti-anorexia measures in an interview with CNN affiliate BFMTV. \"The approach is good,\" she said, adding that the government will have to examine the wording of the new legislation in further detail. Extreme cases such as that of French model Isabelle Caro have sparked calls for change for years. Caro died in 2010, three years after she posed nude in a controversial ad campaign against anorexia. Similar concerns in Spain, Italy and Israel prompted those countries to adopt laws against the use of ultra-thin models on catwalks and in advertising campaigns. Israel even has strict rules on how model's bodies are Photoshopped; any changes must be clearly marked on the photo. Some in the industry are supportive of the proposed laws, but say they don't strike at the real issue. \"The fact of the matter is, fashion creatives have to think about the messaging they are promoting around body image ideals and the fact they are normalizing an unachievable physical appearance,\" said Caryn Franklin, a fashion commentator. Veran's legislation is set to go before the French Parliament at the end of the month for discussion. And he wants to outlaw what he calls starving models by the end of the year. \"I think that by the end of 2015,\" he said, \"we will no longer have anorexic models on the catwalk.\" CNN's Catherine E.

The Germanwings aircraft that crashed earlier this week was deliberately brought down by a co-pilot who had managed to lock himself in the cockpit as he set the plane on a course for destruction, according to officials. We all wish it weren't so, and the investigation, instead of looking at possible deficiencies of the plane, will now look to the co-pilot, who -- by all accounts -- showed no signs that this would be his horrific legacy. The irony would be rich, if it weren't so tragic. The locked door, the very mechanism put into place to protect the cockpit from unruly or dangerous passengers -- made more secure in response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks -- was used against a pilot who, for reasons still unknown, left the cockpit. It may be too early to draw conclusive lessons from what has happened, but as this unfolds and before we begin constructing a narrative about the pilot that may be filled with rumors, innuendo and half-truths, there are structural issues to address immediately. First, we have seen that there is a real risk of pilots bringing down planes. We have built no back-up plans into the secure cockpit programs. It might be necessary to devise secure and classified entry access passwords or electronic keys that are available only to both pilots or a pilot and the lead flight attendant. No system of security should rely on a single point of entry and while the post-9/11 security planning made sense then, it may have outlived the threat now. Second, regardless of pilots' backgrounds and ideologies, airlines as sophisticated as Lufthansa may need to implement more than voluntary stress-relief assessments. The zeitgeist of pilots is very similar to the military: tough, strong, with psychological challenges viewed as \"sissy.\" Perhaps airlines will need to guarantee that pilots who seek counseling will not be unjustly punished. And instead of sitting back and waiting for someone to approach counselors, regular and consistent check-ins might be necessary. Finally, the \"t\" word. Before the news today, the Obama administration quickly rejected a notion that this was terrorism. And that may still be accurate. But as someone who has been a part of counterterrorism efforts, I am impressed with the French prosecutor's honesty in a search for the right words. This is obviously terrorism in the general sense to elicit fear in a general population, but whether it was done for some political or ideological reason (in the absence of any group taking credit, it does not fit the model of most major airline terror attacks) we still do not know. And it isn't as if there is a national response that we can expect from Germany, such as going to war. Still, it clearly isn't just suicide. This is different.

According to Seoul police, Lippert was slashed on his right cheek and hand with a knife measuring about 10 inches long at 5:42 p.m. ET on Wednesday. A South Korean news agency reported that the suspect was opposed to the joint South Korea-U.S. military drills that launched earlier this week, but Seoul police said the motive for the attack and how it was organized are under investigation. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf confirmed the ambassador had been attacked while giving a speech in Seoul Thursday morning, and said that the South Korean embassy is coordinating with local law enforcement on the attack. \"We strongly condemn this act of violence. The ambassador is being treated at a local hospital. His injuries are not life threatening,\" she said. South Korean president, Park Geun-hye condemned the attack: \"This incident is not only a physical attack on the U.S. ambassador, but an attack on the South Korea-U.S. alliance and it can never be tolerated.\" She pledged a \"thorough investigation and strengthening\" of protection. Lippert is a longtime friend and confidant of President Barack Obama, who has been a member of his inner circle since the President's time as senator. According to National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan, Obama called Lippert to wish him well. \"The President called U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, Mark Lippert, to tell him that he and his wife Robyn are in his thoughts and prayers, and to wish him the very best for a speedy recovery,\" Meehan said in a statement.

+{"article": "(CNN)As relatives and friends mourn the loss of their loved ones aboard Germanwings Flight 9525, the world community is stunned by the sequence of events that led to co-pilot Andreas Lubitz purposely crashing the plane into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board. I happen to have several personal connections to this tragedy: a recent graduate of Drexel University -- where I teach -- and her mother were on the ill-fated flight, I lived in Germany for 18 years and I am a psychologist who has researched the psychology of terrorism and developed psychiatric tests that are used to determine pilot flight fitness. While the engineering of the Airbus aircraft is fascinating and the world of air traffic control absorbing, what is even more complex and challenging to understand is the human mind of the co-pilot investigators say is responsible for the crash -- the machine that flies the machine. When complex engineering systems interact with human factors, it is most often the human that causes the anomaly. Humans are far less reliable than machines. The average aviator has superior intellectual and cognitive abilities, and is psychologically stable and reliable. While it is not surprising that when it comes to aviation accidents, the first line of inquiry is into what went wrong with the plane. However, very often, as apparently is the case here, something went wrong with the human flying the plane. Pilots are typically tested for emotional stability and screened for the presence of mental illness when they are selected. The U.S. Navy has strict testing programs related to fitness for duty protocols for their pilots during the length of their careers. But we have learned that the German company Lufthansa and its budget airline affiliate Germanwings do not use psychological testing once the pilots have made it through the selection process. Psychological assessment and screening is not held in as high esteem in Germany as it is in the United States. Perhaps it should be. A fitness-for-duty evaluation asks this important question: Can the pilot safely and effectively perform his job from a mental health and cognitive standpoint? The deliberate destruction of Flight 9525 by a single person, most likely related to some grievance or other unknown intrinsic motivation that he took to the grave, can also be considered an act of terrorism. The action constitutes the unlawful use of violence against the passengers on the flight to further some yet unknown objective. Research on the perpetrators of terrorism has revealed that a single person is capable of executing odd, unexplainable violent actions. Their behaviors may be related to a political or social framework, or it may be associated with something deeply personal. Examples include Richard Reid, the failed shoe bomber; Eric Rudolph, the Olympic bomber; or Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber. In 2009, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army officer and psychiatrist, went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 13 and wounding 32. And in 2012, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, a 38-year-old father of two, opened fire and killed 16 innocent Afghan civilians.", "summary": "Eric Zillmer: It's hard to predict or prevent tragedies like the Germanwings crash .

The suspect, Richard White, 63, died Saturday after treatment for three bullet wounds he suffered when a sheriff's lieutenant fired at him to halt the Friday night attack, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said. Sheriff Newell Normand said earlier that investigators hadn't been able to talk to White, who officials said suffered from some type of mental illness. He said White's wife and children had been very cooperative. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was back open and fully operational, Mayor Mitch Landrieu said. He praised security officials for acting quickly and heroically and doing everything they could to stop the attack. The incident began when White, carrying a bag, entered one of the lanes at the security checkpoint for Concourse B and began spraying Transportation Security Administration agents and bystanders with a can of wasp spray, the sheriff's office said. He then pulled a machete from his waistband and began swinging it at agents and others in the area. \"What I saw originally was one of the officers getting sprayed with the wasp spray,\" said TSA agent Carol Richel, whose arm was hit by one of the bullets fired at White. The officer being sprayed with wasp spray picked up a bag and threw it at White to slow him down, but the suspect still barged through, Richel told reporters. Richel, who was not armed, yelled for everyone to run as she made her way toward the sheriff's lieutenant, who she knew had a weapon. \"I was calling, 'Run, run' for them to get away from him, and I was calling for the (lieutenant) so she was there and alert,\" Richel said. \"I didn't hear him say anything,\" she said. \"Once I yelled for the checkpoint to be cleared, I looked over my shoulder and he was coming after me. And I ran as fast as I could and thank God the officer was as close as she was, because I wouldn't be here today.\" She said the man came \"within inches\" of whacking her with the machete. \"This man was swinging very hard, very hard with that machete,\" Richel said. \"And if he would have made contact with anybody, it would have been terrible.\" Normand said Lt. Heather Slyve fired three shots, ultimately stopping the attacker. He said investigators believe it was the first shot that went through Richel's upper right arm. Richel showed off a bright pink bandage on her arm and said the bullet went through her tricep. \"Originally, I thought the machete hit me. I didn't realize it was a bullet,\" she said. \"I knew he was close, so I honestly thought he hit me and she shot him.\" When White approached the checkpoint, he was carrying a bag that he dropped as soon as the first agent confronted him, Normand said. \"What the bag revealed was six half-pint mason jars", "summary": "Suspect dies after treatment for bullet wounds .

There was Rita Moreno and Gloria Estefan and ... well, that's about it. The March 31, 1995, death of the Mexican-American singer plunged many Latino listeners into mourning and brought her music to the attention of English speakers who would soon become fans. Selena Quintanilla-Perez started singing the Tejano music that eventually made her famous in her father's restaurant in Lake Jackson, Texas. Her father Abraham taught the family band and named them Los Dinos after his own group from earlier years. Selena's brother, A.B., played bass, and her sister, Suzette, played drums. When the family moved to Corpus Christi, the group started getting gigs at local parties and weddings. Selena was only 15 when she won female entertainer of the year at the Tejano Music Awards. That got her a record contract, and several albums followed. She eventually married her guitarist, Chris Perez. In 1994, she won a Grammy for best Mexican-American album for \"Selena Live!\" and seemed poised for mainstream stardom. When the president of Selena's fan club shot her to death the following year in a Texas motel room, her first English-language album was months from release. Her death made international headlines. She was 23 years old. Twenty years later, her influence is still being felt. Her official Facebook page still has more than 2 million likes, and fans are remembering the singer who crossed barriers and made them sing and dance to her blend of Tejano music.

+{"article": "(CNN)The world is watching for what could turn out to be either a historic achievement for international diplomacy -- or, just as easily, a disappointing failure -- as negotiators sit down this week in the tranquil lakeside city of Lausanne, Switzerland, to hammer out a framework nuclear deal with Iran before March 31. Here are some of the key things you need to know as the next major deadline approaches in the Iran nuclear talks: . 1. The road to Lausanne has been a long one. This latest round of talks are part of a process that has been going on for two years, through both public and private diplomatic channels. In 2013, tensions between the world powers and Iran began to thaw a bit after the election of reformist Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who pledged to end the crippling weight of international sanctions on Iran's economy. In November of that year, officials from the five permanent member nations of the U.N. Security Council -- the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia and China -- along with Germany, began nuclear negotiations with Iranian officials in Switzerland and signed what came to be known as the Geneva Agreement or Joint Plan of Action, offering limited sanctions relief for Iran in return for that country rolling back aspects of its nuclear program. The deal was heralded as an interim step toward a larger, more comprehensive agreement, which would further lessen the economic pressure on Iran and give the six world powers -- referred to collectively as the P5+1 -- certain assurances that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful in nature, as it claims. Several rounds of talks have taken place since the Joint Plan of Action was reached in an effort to bring about that comprehensive agreement. But this interim agreement has been extended twice over a failure of the parties to meet previous deadlines for a final deal. 2. There's no guarantee they'll reach a deal. While both sides stand to gain from a potential agreement, they also have certain \"red lines\" they aren't willing to cross -- key issues that could sink the prospects of a deal even if everything else is agreed to. For Iran, a major sticking point is the pace of sanctions relief. They want the international community to lift all U.N. sanctions at the beginning of the agreement, whereas the P5+1 powers would rather see those sanctions phased out as Iran demonstrates its commitment to the deal. Iran also wants a high cap on the number of centrifuges and other nuclear hardware it can continue to operate, and for the restrictions imposed on it in the deal to last only a short period of time. This platform is diametrically opposed to the P5+1 position: that Iran should maintain a relatively small nuclear infrastructure and that the moratorium on Iran's nuclear activities should last at least a decade. And of critical importance, particularly to the United States, is the insistence that Iran be held to a minimum one-year \"breakout time\" -- a technical terms reflecting the amount of time it", "summary": "Interim deal from 2013 between six world powers and Iran has been extended twice .

Another vaccine will be tested in a subsequent study, according to a press release from the World Health Organization, Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. \"We have worked hard to reach this point,\" WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan said. \"... If a vaccine is found effective, it will be the first preventive tool against Ebola in history.\" Patient Zero -- i.e. the first case in the current Ebola outbreak -- is thought to be a 2-year-old Guinean boy who contracted the virus in December 2013 and died a few days later. Since then, the vast majority of the more than 23,900 cases and more than 9,800 deaths reported by WHO have come in Guinea and neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone. There are new Ebola cases every day, including 132 in the last week of February (which is up from 99 reported the previous week). While Liberia didn't have any of these new incidences, Guinea did -- especially in Forecariah and Conakry. Still, authorities in Africa and their partners around the world have had significant successes generally in combating the deadly disease. The progress -- as measured in the rate of new cases, with January's incidences being the lowest in seven months -- has been so significant that health authorities' focus has shifted from slowing the spread to ending the epidemic. This positive movement has come as a result of steps like better disease control, public awareness campaigns and attention to burial practices. But the tool that has been used to eradicate many other contagious diseases -- vaccines -- has been elusive. That's why, over the past six months, WHO has been working with scientists, ethicists and policymakers to try to create both better treatment therapies and a vaccine that will stop people for getting Ebola in the first place. Health workers in the Guinea trial will start with a new Ebola case and then trace all of that patient's contacts, giving each of them the option of getting vaccinated. John-Arne Rottingen, from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, said this program is happening at the request of Guinean authorities and called the participation of residents there \"vital\" to its success. \"The Ebola epidemic shows signs of receding but we cannot let our guard down until we reach zero cases,\" WHO official Marie-Paule Kieny said. \"An effective vaccine to control current flare-ups could be the game-changer to finally end this epidemic and an insurance policy for any future ones.\"", "summary": "WHO leader: This vaccine could be \"the first preventive tool against Ebola in history\" This trial campaign will be conducted in a hard-hit region of the West African nation of Guinea .

Neither is sick or known to be infected with the disease. Eight of their colleagues have already been flown back to the United States, where health authorities are watching them closely for signs of the disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The returning workers are clinicians for Partners in Health, a Boston-based aid group. They all had contact with a colleague who's been diagnosed with the disease and is being treated at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. The heath care worker with Ebola was in critical condition Monday, the NIH said. That changed from the NIH saying on Friday that the patient was in serious condition. Details about the patient's identity weren't released. While in West Africa, the workers \"came to the aid of their ailing colleague,\" according to a Partners in Health statement.

The workers are being housed near hospitals that specialize in treating Ebola patients, and if they show signs of the disease, they'll be admitted as patients -- as was the case with one worker in Nebraska. The person developed symptoms Sunday evening and \"out of an abundance of caution\" was taken to the biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. \"At this point, this person has not tested positive for the Ebola virus,\" Phil Smith, M.D., medical director of the unit, said in a statement Monday. \"However, because of a change in symptoms, we decided the most prudent course of action was to bring the individual to the Biocontainment Unit, where we can better monitor symptoms and safely perform testing.

+{"article": "(CNN)It has been one of the world's longest and deadliest civil conflicts. Since the first incidents more than three decades ago, an estimated 40,000 lives have been lost. It has been, some say, a battle by activists among Turkey's Kurdish minority for independence. It has been, others say, a guerrilla war by rebels who have punctuated their campaign with terrorist acts. Whatever it has been to the parties involved, the leader of the militant group at the forefront of the Kurdish insurgency in Turkey says it is time now for it to be over. \"Our struggle came to the point it cannot continue as it is,\" Abdullah Ocalan, longtime leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), said earlier in March from his jail cell. In a letter read to thousands gathered in the southeastern Turkey city of Diyarbakir to mark Persian New Year, Ocalan called for \"a new era\" with Kurds gathering as \"a democratic society with the right to a democratic identity -- within Turkey and on the constitutional citizenship basis.\" He urged fighters under his command to lay down their arms, stop their war against the Turkish state and join a \"congress\" to focus on the future. Ocalan's letter is nothing less than historic. As recently as 2012, the long-simmering war between the PKK and the Turkish government had heated to the point that the International Crisis Group, a conflict resolution organization monitoring the conflict, counted more than 700 dead over 14 months. \"We're seeing the longest pitched battles between the (Turkish) army and the PKK, we're seeing a widespread campaign of kidnapping, suicide bombings and terrorist attacks by the PKK. They're very much on the offensive and unfortunately this is matched by much harder line rhetoric on both sides,\" Hugh Pope, chief author of an International Crisis Group report, told CNN in 2012. Perhaps vocally underscoring the cultural split between the Turkish government and the country's Kurdish population, when Ocalan's letter was read to crowds March 21, it was read in two languages -- Kurdish first, then Turkish. The letter was read by Sirri Sureyya Onder, deputy of Turkey's pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party. Onder is one of the few people regularly allowed to meet Ocalan at the prison where he is held on Imrali Island. \"Saturday officially showed us all that we have moved on to the negotiation period from the dialogue period we've been working on,\" Onder told CNN in a phone interview. About a fifth of Turkey's population is Kurdish -- a minority long living under cultural oppression, most of them in the underdeveloped southeastern part of Turkey. By 1998 -- 14 years after the insurgency began -- Turkey counted up to 18,000 PKK guerrillas living in the mountains. The next year, Ocalan -- a hero to some, a villain to others -- was captured in Kenya by Turkish authorities, reportedly with the help of the CIA.

Now the Facebook chief operating officer is giving them some specific answers by aligning with one of the most popular athletes on the planet. If LeBron James is encouraging men to lean in for women, don't you think some of his 19 million Twitter followers will get the message too? That's certainly what Sandberg and her LeanIn.org colleagues are hoping, following their brand new partnership with the National Basketball Association and the Women's National Basketball Association and the creation of a public service campaign called #LeanInTogether. In a 30-second video of NBA and WNBA all-stars, we see James of the Cleveland Cavaliers holding up a poster, which says \"All-Star Dad.\" Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat says, \"When men lean in, everyone wins,\" and then touts how he leans in for his wife, mother and grandmother. \"Help women aim high,\" says Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks. The significance of the message and the men who are relaying it is twofold, says Sandberg. To truly bring about equality at home and at work, men need to be part of the discussion, and we need to bring the discussion to where men are, she says. Sheryl Sandberg at BlogHer: Not every woman has to be a CEO . \"The conversation about equality has long existed by women, for women, in women's forums where women are, and that will continue, and that's important. But bringing it to the center of the court, bringing men to the center of that conversation -- people like LeBron James and Steph Curry (of the Golden State Warriors) and Dwayne Wade, saying 'I'm in for equality and here's why' -- I think that could be transformative,\" said Sandberg in a phone interview. What Sandberg and LeanIn.org are also hoping to do is show men specifically what they can do, providing a series of tips about things they could start doing at home and at work, and as managers, as soon as they finish reading this story. Many of the suggestions might seem like common sense to many women -- such as male managers giving women credit in meetings and men sharing 50-50 in household and child care duties at home. But Sandberg says with the list of \"simple, clear, everyday things, practical things\" men can do that are based on real data, men will see not only how they can help but how they individually will benefit. For instance, research shows that boys and girls with a more involved father are healthier, mentally and physically, happier, have stronger emotional attachments and relationships, are at lower risk for substance abuse and are more successful at work and at home, Sandberg said.

+{"article": "London (CNN)Britain needs more women as spies -- and it could do worse than look to recruit them on popular parenting website Mumsnet. That's according to a report released Thursday by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee. The report recommends targeting women, including mothers and those who are middle-aged or mid-career, to help break through \"the permafrost\" of men in middle management \"who have a very traditional male mentality and outlook.\" The idea that a new cohort of British spies could be signed up via Mumsnet, more usually associated with debates on pregnancy, childcare and homemaking, may surprise some. But lawmaker Hazel Blears, a committee member, said recruiting more women to the three intelligence and security agencies the committee oversees is a crucial way to change the intelligence agencies' sometimes hidebound culture. The current setup fosters \"a management culture which rewards those who speak the loudest or are aggressive in pursuing their career and does not fully recognise the value of a more consultative, collaborative approach,\" she said. But women's life experience and other qualities should not be overlooked, she said. In a sign of the changing times, the latest film iteration of British spy James Bond has had a female boss -- \"M,\" played by Judi Dench. But while women currently make up about 37% of the employees across the UK intelligence agencies, according to the Intelligence and Security Committee report, they make up fewer than one-fifth of those in senior roles. The recruiting idea has met with some amusement in the Mumsnet community. \"If they need someone whose special skill is getting melted chocolate down her dog-haired jumper and not noticing, I'm their woman,\" posts one Mumsnet user. \"I would LOVE to be a spy. Like actually LOVE it. And no one would suspect me. I am too boring and frumpy,\" writes another. A third, more skeptical, comments: \"Yes, people who can't help but type their every passing thought into an online forum would make great spies.\" Besides using women-focused outlets like Mumsnet to reach a new pool of talent, the committee recommends certain steps to make working for MI5, MI6 and Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) more tempting for women. These include offering better career management, encouraging women to set up their own informal support networks and not limiting their options if they have children. \"Women who have successfully been filling operational roles mustn't be sidelined after they have children. They still have the first class skills that the Agencies helped them to build, so these should be used,\" Blears said. Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright -- who similarly looked into the position of women in the CIA -- backed the UK report and what it said about the value of women in the intelligence agencies. \"Diversity should be pursued -- not just on legal or ethical grounds, important as these are in their own right -- but because it will result in a better response to the range of threats that threaten national security,\" she said.", "summary": "More women are needed to change the culture of Britain's intelligence agencies, report says .

+{"article": "(CNN)The expulsions of two students by the University of Oklahoma for their role in a racist chant will likely not be the last word on the scandal. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity members can appeal the decision. More students might be expelled. And beyond the immediate issues around the now infamous incident, the university could experience a trickle-down impact for months, maybe years to come. Writing to the two students Tuesday, just two days after a video of frat members singing the racist song surfaced, OU President David Boren said they were being booted for \"leading a racist and exclusionary chant which has created a hostile educational environment for others.\" They were given until close of business Friday to contest the decision. No word yet on whether either will. CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin said she believes there will be a constitutional challenge to the expulsions. \"It's sort of one of the first things you learn in law school ... you may disapprove of what someone says but you still defend their right to say it,\" she said. Hostin added: \"I think there'll be the arguments that these students were students, and that in our educational systems we want people to have, maybe, even a heightened level of freedom of speech.\" Also unknown at this point is whether other students who appear in the video will be expelled or otherwise punished. Already, the Greek letters sigma, alpha and epsilon have been removed from the frat house's facade, the house will be closed as of midnight Tuesday and the university will board up the windows, following up on separate decisions by the university and the SAE national headquarters to shutter the Oklahoma chapter, Boren said. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is no stranger to scandal and sanctions . But he seemed to say that individual punishments could be a bit trickier. \"Well, legally, our concern is we have to demonstrate exactly how the educational experience of our students was threatened or disrupted by their actions,\" Boren said, \"and it really has to focus on the students on the bus. Did the other students have their educational experience disrupted?\" While he unwaveringly declared \"there is no room for racists and bigots\" at his university, the very thing that could keep the SAE fraternity brothers Oklahoma Sooners is Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The law \"prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance,\" but it also provides the parameters for determining if someone is violating the federal law, Boren said. Any punishment must be \"carefully directed\" if it's to pass constitutional muster, although he made it clear he hopes some of the students involved won't wait for legal issues to be sorted out. \"I think some of the students themselves may take themselves off the campus, and I hope they do because this is not a place that wants racists,\" he said.

While his name may ring few bells outside of the seasoned London art community, eminent gallerist Robert Fraser, who ran a gallery in London during the Sixties and again in the Eighties, was a seminal part of the Swinging Sixties scene. His notoriety hinged on scandal, parties and friendships with the most famous rock stars of the era, as well as an undeniable talent for spotting art's Next Big Thing. This is the eminent dealer who sold art to Paul McCartney, and hosted John Lennon and Yoko Ono's first joint exhibition; the Savile Row-clad Etonian whose Mayfair galleries attracted the likes of Marlon Brando, Marianne Faithfull and William Burroughs in the 60s and 80s; the silver-tongued heroin addict who introduced Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Britain, and was arrested -- and, in his case, imprisoned -- for drug possession with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards during the 1967 Redlands Bust. Curated by the artist Brian Clarke, A Strong, Sweet Smell of Incense -- a winking reference to the police report describing the bust -- aims to blend the rebel, the art connoisseur and the hedonist to present a rounded image of an unsung star of the 60s. \"There are oceans of anecdotes by Robert, and some of them are true.

As the negotiations entered their fourth day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the agreement coming together is worse than Israel's deepest fears. The talks had hit a snag on Saturday, with diplomats describing Iran as refusing to budge, but as the French, German and Chinese foreign ministers arrived, the mood seemed more optimistic. The British and Russian foreign ministers were expected late Sunday. U.S. officials and Western diplomats described the negotiations as tough and intense, which was expected as the talks reached the endgame. They said the contours of a deal are becoming clearer, but they were unsure it could be reached. Two core issues are still unresolved: 1) Limits on Iranian research and development on advanced nuclear technology in the end years of the deal; and 2) The pace of lifting United Nations sanctions. The U.S. officials stressed all of the elements were interrelated and nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to, comparing the final deal to a puzzle. But they indicated most of the other elements were solvable if those two major hurdles could be overcome. The speed of which U.N. sanctions could be lifted remains in dispute. Iran wants them lifted immediately after the deal goes into effect. While diplomats say Iran could see unilateral sanctions relief in the areas of trade, oil and banking, sanctions adopted by the United Nations are more complicated. Many are related to proliferation and transfer of missile technology and are tied to certification by the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, that Iran's nuclear program does not have a military dimension. On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif made clear the issue of sanctions remains a stumbling block, saying he believes the world powers \"have realized that sanctions, pressure and an agreement will not go together. It's only to translate that understanding and realization into the agreement that we are negotiating.\" U.S. officials said that all sides, including Iran, agree that sanctions would be lifted in phases over time as Iran confirms its compliance to the deal. But they acknowledge there is still disagreement on the actual formula. Iran also wants the ability to continue to research and develop more advanced centrifuges while the deal is in effect. Those machines can enrich uranium much faster than its current machines. U.S. and European officials worry that could enable Iran to quickly produce enough uranium for a nuclear weapon. Diplomats say the first 10 years of the 15 year deal would have the most stringent restrictions, with others being relaxed over the next five. \"We will see if they are ready to swallow what we proposed,\" a Western diplomat said. \"We are not asking them to do nothing, but they want to do more than we want them to do\" referring to how much research the Iranians want to be able to still undertake.

Williams had been due to play Romanian Simona Halep on Friday night, but instead posted news of her withdrawal on Instagram. \"Four months ago I began a journey to play Indian Wells and it was amazing. I never dreamed I could do it. But I would not have been able to do this without my fans. Though it ended early due to injury this year, I have to say I cannot wait to try again next year. Thanks everyone. I love you so much!\" Williams posted. Back in 2001, crowds booed a young Serena as she took on Belgian Kim Clijsters in the final of the competition now known as the BNP Paribas Open. Despite being on home soil, spectators backed Clijsters in scenes former tennis champion and broadcaster Pam Shriver said were difficult to watch. \"You would expect the crowd to be so supportive of the U.S. player, so it clearly was the exact opposite. Because she was American, because she was so young, because she was African-American, predominantly white audience. It was tough, it was tough to listen to,\" Shriver told CNN's Open Court. Shriver watched as spectators booed Serena's father Richard and sister Venus, as they walked down the steps to take their seats for the match. \"That's when we realized this crowd is still really upset by what happened in the semifinals,\" Shriver said. Minutes before the highly-anticipated semifinal between the two sisters, Venus pulled out due to a knee injury.

Verrilli Jr. wrote. He said the states have \"burdened petitioners in every aspect of life that marriage touches, from the mundane to the profound.\" The brief marks the first time the administration has formally made a filing with the high court supporting its position that bans on gay marriage should be declared unconstitutional nationwide. The court will hear arguments in the state cases on April 28. Verrilli said the laws \"impose concrete harms on same-sex couples and send the inescapable message that same-sex couples and their children are second-class families, unworthy of the recognition and benefits that opposite-sex couples take for granted.\" The bans, he said, \"cannot be reconciled with the fundamental constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the laws.\" He said there is \"no adequate justification for such a discriminatory and injurious exercise of state control.\" Verrilli stressed that throughout history lesbian and gay people have encountered numerous barriers that have \"prevented them from full, free, and equal participation in American life.\" In an op-ed earlier this week , published in USA Today, Attorney General Eric Holder wrote, \"Marriage equality is an idea whose time has come.\" President Barack Obama's position on same-sex marriage has evolved. In May 2012, in an interview with ABC News, he announced his support for gay marriage. \"At a certain point,\" he said, \"I've just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.\" At his 2013 inauguration he said, \"Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law.\" In February 2013, the administration filed a friend of the court brief on behalf of couples challenging California's ban on same sex marriage. Verilli argued that California law provided same sex couples registered as domestic partners all the legal incidents of marriage, but denied them the \"designation of marriage.\" Ultimately, the Supreme Court dismissed that case. Supporters of the state bans have until the end of the month to file their briefs. Thursday was the deadline for briefs in support of petitioners. James Obergefell, the named plaintiff in the case, came to the court Friday as the Human Rights Campaign delivered a brief signed by over 200,000 individuals in support of same-sex marriage. In an interview, Obergefell said his journey began when he challenged Ohio's refusal to recognize same-sex marriage on death certificates.

Because this isn't any ordinary commission: the casket will be the final resting place of one of Ibsen's distant relatives, Richard III, who died more than 500 years ago. \"It is a unique privilege,\" says Canadian-born Ibsen, whose DNA was used to establish the identity of the English King, found buried beneath a car parking lot in the city of Leicester in August 2012. \"There's a wonderful serendipity in a sense that someone involved in the identification of the remains should happen to be furniture maker who can do this. \"When you're working away you just focus on joining two bits of wood, but at the end of the day when you stand back and think 'I'm building Richard III's coffin,' it's incredible.\" Ibsen says he's been on an \"extraordinary journey\" in the two-and-a-half years since he gave a DNA swab to genetics specialist Turi King on the off chance that experts searching for the burial place of his seventeen-times great-uncle might strike it lucky. Back then even the man in charge of the dig, archaeologist Richard Buckley, didn't expect to find anything -- he told colleagues he'd \"eat his hat\" if they turned up the long-lost King's remains. \"When we were planning the project, I never made any secret of the fact I thought it very unlikely we'd be successful,\" Buckley told CNN. \"The chances of hitting the right spot were very slim.\" Call it a fluke, or call it fate, but as it turned out they hit the right spot almost immediately: Richard III's skeleton was found on the very first day of the dig, in the first trench dug by the team. At the time, all the experts knew was that they'd found a set of leg bones, chopped off at the feet by building work at some point in the intervening centuries. It wasn't until days later, as archaeologist Jo Appleby carefully exhumed the rest of the skeleton that she spotted the distinct curve of its spine, and the devastating damage medieval weapons had left on its skull. For Philippa Langley, founder of the \"Looking for Richard\" project, who stood watching with bated breath as the bones were uncovered, the discovery was a vindication of the years she had spent trying to get people to search for the King's remains -- and to look again at his reputation. Say the name Richard III to many people, and the image which will spring to mind is that of Shakespeare's villain, hunchbacked and murderous, who met a grisly end on the battlefield at Bosworth after killing his nephews, the Princes in the Tower. Years of research had convinced Langley of two things: firstly, that his remains lay underneath a car park, in what had once been the Grey Friars' monastery, and secondly, that he was much-maligned, the victim of bitter Tudor propaganda after his death.

On Monday, a Saudi-led coalition of nine countries continued airstrikes against Shiite Houthi rebels, who have captured key parts of Yemen and ousted that country's President, and who could spread Iran's influence in the region. And the notion of an Iranian proxy power in Yemen is unacceptable to many -- especially Iran's staunch rival Saudi Arabia. 'Tricky issues' remain in nuclear talks with Iran . \"I think the Saudis ... feel directly, physically threatened by what is happening,\" said Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations. But if the coalition 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. And Yemen, already the home base to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, now teeters on the brink of becoming a failed state and an even more fertile breeding ground for extremism. Here's the latest on the crisis in Yemen and its impact around the world: . Saudi-led airstrikes targeted Houthi military posts and weapons depots in the capital city of Sanaa on Monday, two Houthi commanders told CNN. Yemen's Defense Ministry said a Saudi airstrike hit Al-Mazeraq refugee camp in Haradh, near the Saudi border, killing at least 40 internally displaced people and injuring 250. The group Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) tweeted that one of its teams had received \"30 wounded plus 15 dead bodies following airstrike on IDP camp today.\" Previously, airstrikes hit Houthi militant groups, smashed their air defense guns and crumbled key infrastructure, a Saudi official has said. Egyptian warships fired on the road that runs from the Yemeni port town of Zinjibar into the key coastal city of Aden but did not fire on Aden directly, according to an official with Yemen's Southern Movement. The road is the eastern approach to Aden and is one of the three main roads into the city. The Egyptian naval barrage is intended to block the Houthi advance on Aden and push those fighters back, the source said. Egyptian warships had deployed to the Bab al-Mandab strait last Friday, according to media reports, intent on protecting that passage that is the only access from the Arabian Sea to Egypt's Suez Canal. The coalition's campaign has been dubbed Operation al-Hazm Storm. The Arabic term \"al-Hazm\" can be translated as \"determinant\" or \"decisive.\" Saudi Arabia and Egypt have both talked about the possibility of putting boots on the ground.

Years after she went missing, prosecutors argued Durst was hiding out from investigators digging into that case when he killed a neighbor, dismembered the body and skipped town. Jurors acquitted him in a high-profile 2003 murder trial after his lawyers said he'd acted in self-defense. Now the 71-year-old millionaire real estate heir from one of New York's wealthiest families is behind bars, accused of murder again in another case that some say is tied to his wife's disappearance. FBI agents arrested Durst Saturday night in New Orleans. Investigators say they believe he was behind the 2000 slaying of Susan Berman, a crime writer and Durst's longtime friend, who was shot dead in her Beverly Hills home. \"As a result of investigative leads and additional evidence that has come to light in the past year, investigators have identified Robert Durst as the person responsible for Ms. Berman's death,\" Los Angeles Police said in a statement Sunday. Police, who described him as a \"cold case murder suspect,\" didn't specify what new evidence pointed them toward Durst. The arrest comes amid heightened interest in the eccentric heir, who's now the focus of the HBO documentary series \"The Jinx,\" which explores whether he had any connection to his wife's disappearance and investigators' suspicions that Berman was killed because she knew what happened to her. Durst has long maintained he didn't kill Berman or have anything to do with his wife's disappearance. Investigators found him Saturday at the JW Marriott hotel in New Orleans, where he was staying under a false name and was carrying a fake driver's license, according to a law enforcement official who's been briefed on the case. He'd paid in cash, and authorities believe he was preparing to leave the country and flee to Cuba, the official said. He was jailed without bond and was awaiting an extradition hearing Monday morning. \"We will waive extradition and get to Los Angeles as soon as possible to answer the charges,\" Chip Lewis, Durst's lawyer, told CNN on Sunday. Durst's brother said in a written statement that he was thankful for the arrest. \"We are relieved and also grateful to everyone who assisted in the arrest of Robert Durst,\" Douglas Durst said. \"We hope he will finally be held accountable for all he has done.\" Accusations about what Robert Durst has done depend on who you ask. His one-time wife, Kathie Durst, went missing in 1982. No one has been charged in her disappearance. And according to The New York Times, she's been declared legally dead.

He kept playing that day, and through an excellent rookie season. But the thought of the permanent damage that might be happening to him kept nagging at him. He talked to his teammates and family, read about concussions and their effects, each day coming closer to the decision that he finally announced this week. At age 24, not even yet in his prime as an NFL player, Borland told his team he was retiring because he was worried about the long-term effects of head trauma. \"I just honestly want to do what's best for my health,\" he told ESPN. \"From what I've researched and what I've experienced, I don't think it's worth the risk. ... I'm concerned that if you wait (until) you have symptoms, it's too late.\" It was after that self-described \"minor concussion\" in the preseason that Borland threw himself into researching what had happened to other football players. In the end he didn't want to leave his teammates in a bind, but, \"I know this is right for me.\" He said teammates' reactions to his retirement were mixed. One of his best friends told him that he was crazy to walk away from the money. Borland, a third-round pick from Wisconsin, had signed a nearly $3 million contract for four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and banked a $600,000 bonus. The guys who wanted him to come back would say to the 49ers top tackler, \"That's a lot of money. Why don't you get your money and get out,\" Borland recounted to ESPN. The thought made him uncomfortable because he doesn't want to do anything just for a big paycheck. He didn't want to be wrong when it comes to this: \"Who knows how many hits are too many?\" Borland is one of a handful of players to retire young but possibly the first to retire before concussions became an issue for him. He's also now part of a shift in thinking about what repeated head injuries can do to an athlete. Reports show an increasing number of retired NFL players who have suffered concussions developed memory and cognitive issues such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, depression and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. \"For me, it's wanting to be proactive,\" Borland said. \"I'm concerned that if you wait (until) you have symptoms, it's too late. There are a lot of unknowns. I can't claim that 'X' will happen. \"I just want to live a long, healthy life, and I don't want to have any neurological diseases or die younger than I would otherwise.\" Passionate reactions to his decision came quickly, with many supporting him.

In one of Bingxin's poems, she describes the tranquil waters of Lake Waban as her only source of comfort in bouts of homesickness. Now, Lake Waban provides Ma with a tangible connection to a woman from another time, someone who rose to prominence after walking the same grounds as her. And, not just any woman, but someone who shares Ma's cultural roots. \"Knowing that someone lived in the exact spot where you are right now, and knowing that so much came out of her life inspires you to think that you can accomplish just as much,\" she said. It's a big deal for Ma, who says she never learned about a single Asian-American in school. As far as she knew growing in Philadelphia, the white men featured in public monuments were the only people who made noteworthy contributions to history.

He \"planned to travel to the Middle East to provide his services to radical groups engaged in armed conflict in Syria,\" according to a complaint. On February 2, 2014, an undercover agent met with Wolfe and his wife and they watched a YouTube video about foreign fighters in Syria, officials said. Wolfe allegedly discussed the activities of ISIS, they said.

Yusuf was stopped by the FBI from boarding a flight to Turkey from Minneapolis/Saint Paul Airport in May. Yusuf and another man, Abdi Nur, were charged in late November with conspiring to aid ISIS. Conley's plan to join ISIS and serve as a nurse at a jihadist camp ended in September with a guilty plea on a terror charge in a Colorado federal court.

+{"article": "(CNN)Hillary Clinton's lawyerly news conference Tuesday, at which she doggedly parried suggestions that her use of a private email server to conduct official State Department business was improper, might extinguish the matter for most Americans -- but it doesn't get Clinton out of the woods politically. The real possibility of lasting political damage to the former secretary of state will come if her emails reveal any favoritism to any of the foreign donors who contributed to the welter of powerful charitable organizations housed at the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation. This is the multibillion-dollar foundation Hillary Clinton leads alongside ex-President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea. What we already know about the foundation's donors is controversial: Some of the corporations, banks and foreign governments that have funded foundation projects have abysmal human rights records and have been involved in everything from drug money laundering to aiding terrorism in violation of American law. The Clintons can make a plausible case that it's best to solicit money from companies and foreign governments -- even ethically challenged ones -- and put it to good use attacking problems of global poverty. As Bill Clinton recently told reporters: \"You've got to decide when you do this work whether it will do more good than harm if someone helps you from another country.\" It's an interesting and important debate, and most Americans would probably approve the idea of putting \"bad\" money to good use. But the argument only works if Clinton's work as secretary of state was completely separate from the foundation's tip-toeing around ethical challenges. To figure that out requires analyzing the history of what began as the William J. Clinton Foundation shortly after he left office in 2001. Different initiatives were added over the years to combat AIDS, climate change, poverty and other ills; the most high-profile of these projects, the Clinton Global Initiative, added in 2005, brings world leaders together to tackle the world's problems. To make things even more complicated, the foundation's website says its mission is supported by the Clinton Presidential Center in Arkansas, which includes an archive of the President's papers. The foundation recently co-sponsored a Black History month event with the center. The foundation's thicket of relationships with corporate donors and foreign heads of states is difficult for outsiders to penetrate and understand. And with 350 employees spread across 180 nations, running the foundation is an expensive proposition: in 2012, the various initiatives spent $214 million according to The New York Times but still ended up $8 million in the red. Who gave, and why, is hard to figure out. According to The Wall Street Journal, \"The Clinton Foundation does disclose its donors, which isn't required by law.

At the time, the BBC issued a statement saying that there had been a \"fracas\" between the host and a BBC producer. More than 1 million fans of Clarkson and \"Top Gear\" signed a petition to reinstate the host. The document was delivered to the BBC's headquarters by a fan dressed as the \"Stig\" -- the incognito racing car test-driver who appeared regularly on the show -- driving an armored tank.

Castro reportedly met the agents Saturday at his home in Havana, ending speculation over why the former Cuban President had not yet seen the men, who are referred to as \"the five heroes\" by Cuba's government. The last of the agents returned to Cuba in December following a prisoner swap that also freed U.S. State Department contractor Alan Gross, who was jailed in Cuba. The swap coincided with an announcement of a change in U.S. policy toward Cuba. Castro's wife, Dalia Soto del Valle, is also shown, as is his nephew Alejandro Castro Esp\u00edn, the son of Cuban President Raul Castro and a colonel in Cuba's Interior Ministry. These \"anti-terrorist heroes never did any harm to the United States,\" Fidel Castro wrote in an article published in the daily Communist Party newspaper Granma on Monday, which said he met with them for five hours. \"They tried to prevent and impede terrorist acts against our people.\" U.S. officials have said the men were part of a spy ring that monitored the anti-Castro Cuban exile community and military installations in Florida. Castro on Monday though said the men were not spying on U.S. military capabilities, stating that a now-shuttered Russian spy station allowed the Cubans to be aware of any impending U.S. attack on the island. \"That center allowed us to be aware of any object that moved thousands of miles from our country,\" Castro wrote, referring the Lourdes spy base in Cuba, which Russia closed in 2001. The men were arrested in 1998 and charged with carrying out a slew of intelligence gathering activities. Seven other agents agreed to cooperate with U.S. prosecutors, but five of the agents refused to switch sides. The men were lauded as heroes by the Cuban government, which held large demonstrations demanding their release in front of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana. Agents Rene Gonzalez, 58, and Fernandez Gonzalez, 51, returned to Cuba in 2014 after serving their prison sentences. The remaining three agents -- Gerardo Hernandez, 49; Antonio Guerrero, 56; and Ramon Laba\u00f1ino, 51 -- were transferred to Cuba a part of a prisoner swap after serving 16 years in U.S. prisons. Last month, all five were presented with the Hero of the Republic award, the highest honor presented by the Cuban government. Many Cubans though wondered why the men had not yet met with Fidel Castro, who had championed their cause during his final years as President.

North Korean officials could not be reached for comment. Meanwhile, state media in the largely isolated communist country has not yet reported on the incident. Kazi Muhammad Ziauddin, a top official in Bangladesh's customs agency, told CNN his officers discovered the gold on the afternoon of March 5th, after the diplomat arrived on a Singapore Airlines flight. Ziauddin said customs officials had received a confidential tip that a North Korean diplomat would be carrying \"illegal items.\" \"It was very tough. We have to be very careful and sensitive when we deal with a diplomat,\" Ziauddin said, referring to the Vienna Convention, which affords diplomats certain degrees of consular immunity. He said the suspect, whom he identified as Son Young Nam, the first secretary of North Korea's embassy in Dhaka, initially refused to allow his baggage to be searched. \"He said there is no way we can open or scan his bag,\" Ziauddin said. \"At first he said 'This is an electric motor.' After further questioning he changed his mind and told us, 'These are cipher machines and very confidential.'\" Eventually, customs officers opened the diplomat's bag and found the undeclared goods, that included 170 gold bars and golden ornaments. At current market prices, the gold would be valued at around $1 million. Entering Bangladesh without declaring this quantity of precious metal is a violation of the country's customs regulations. An official with Bangladesh's Foreign Secretary, speaking to CNN on condition of anonymity, said his government lodged a protest with the North Korean ambassador. It's far too early to jump to conclusions about whether the alleged gold smuggling incident could be an isolated example of corruption or an effort to move official funds. Due to international sanctions, North Korea faces substantial obstacles when trying to access international banking systems. \"It would be interesting to see if [the diplomat] is disciplined when he gets back\" to North Korea, said John Delury, associate professor at Yonsei University's Graduate School of International Studies. \"That would be a way of saying whether or not he's a corrupt diplomat.\" According to the Foreign Secretary's office in Bangladesh, the North Korean diplomat allegedly caught carrying the gold has since left the country.

Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the \"Thrilla in Manila.\" Four decades later, and a crowd is gathered at the same venue in this sweating, sprawling city -- known as the Araneta Coliseum -- for a very different contest: a basketball game between two of the country's pro teams. And yet, the Coliseum cannot seem to escape its boxing legacy. The most famous athlete on court today just happens to be a boxer. Manny \"the Pacman\" Pacquiao is the coach, as well as one of the shortest players on the roster at just five foot, six inches (168cm) tall, of team Kia Carnival. But the Filipino is best known around the world as one of the greatest boxers of his generation, the first fighter to win championship belts in eight different weight divisions. But despite his on-court distraction, he's not finished in the ring. Pacquiao is little more than two months away from the most highly anticipated battle of his career. On May 2, he will finally go toe to toe with American welterweight boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas -- the fight most boxing fans have wanted to see for years. But for today, he seems more concerned that Kia Carnival trails several points behind the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters. In the locker room, Pacquiao, who only played for a few unremarkable minutes in the second quarter, gives a short half-time speech to fire up his players. He speaks mostly in Tagalog, the main language of the Philippines, peppering his locker room speech with English expressions like \"offense\" and \"man-to-man defense.\" Seemingly inspired, the team charges back on court shortly after. Surprisingly, Pacquiao says he gets more nervous on the basketball court than when he faces a barrage of punches in the ring. \"My hands [get] cold!\" he says with a laugh, while rubbing both hands together in the air. \"I believe in my heart that my second sport is basketball,\" he says later, explaining that it is a vital part of his cross-training for boxing.

+{"article": "(CNN)\"In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd,\" wrote Miguel de Cervantes, the Shakespeare of Spain. And the quest to find his remains has sometimes seemed both, even (dare one say it) quixotic in a time of recession. But forensic scientists have persevered, and appear to have triumphed. Almost 400 years after Cervantes' death, a team led by Francisco Etxeberria announced Tuesday that they were confident they had found Cervantes' coffin in the crypt of the Convent of the Barefoot Trinitarians in the Barrio de Las Letras (Literary Quarter) in Madrid. Historical records indicated Cervantes had been buried there, but the convent had been substantially rebuilt since. (Etxeberria, incidentally, performed the autopsy on former Chilean President Gen. Salvador Allende, confirming he had committed suicide.) At a news conference in Madrid on Tuesday, Etxeberria said that while there was no mathematical proof or DNA test available to completely verify the findings, there were \"many coincidences and no discrepancies\" in the examination of \"Osario 32,\" a common grave in the crypt that contained the remains of 16 people. \"We have Cervantes, represented in some form in this group of bones that are unfortunately very degraded and very fragmented,\" Etxeberria told national television. The search for Cervantes' coffin -- using radar -- began last year, funded by the Madrid City Council. It first mapped more than 30 burial cavities in the walls and nearly 5 meters beneath the floor of the church. Mass spectrometry dated fragments of wood and cloth found in these cavities to the 17th century, an encouraging but far from conclusive development. One crumbling coffin found in January had the initials \"M C\" hammered in nail heads, along with a jumble of skeletal remains. Even then Exteberria urged caution, but further research has narrowed the odds. The forensic team had been hoping that some of those remains would positively identify Cervantes, who suffered gunshot wounds in the chest and left hand at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. But they are not in sufficiently good shape, and some of the remains found may be of Cervantes' wife, Catalina de Salazar. Nor will DNA analysis be much help, for there are no known descendants of Cervantes. Catalina was not Cervantes' first partner. As a teenager he ran away from home with a barmaid, Josefina de Perez, before enlisting with the Spanish Navy. It was only in the 1580s that he started to write, publishing \"La Galatea\" in 1585 and his most famous work, \"Don Quixote,\" in 1605 -- or to give its full title, \"The Adventures of the Ingenious Nobleman Don Quixote of La Mancha.\" But \"Don Quixote\" would hardly be noticed in Cervantes' lifetime, and he was almost penniless when he died, having joined the Third Order of St. Francis in his declining years. He knew he was dying when he wrote in the prologue of a posthumously published novel, \"Perhaps the time may come when I mend again this broken thread and say what words fail me here and what needed to be said.

Not even NASA spends much time there, making it the least-explored inner planet in the solar system. But one question has long perplexed scientists: Why's the darned thing so dark?

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Brown University and the Planetary Sciences Institute say they may have found the answer: It's been \"effectively painted black,\" in the words of Megan Bruck Syal, a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Livermore. Over the eons, the researchers argue in a paper published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, microscopic meteorites spawned from carbon-rich comets may have contributed enough dark-hued carbon to reduce the amount of reflected light. The pieces seem to fit together: There's a lot more carbon dust thrown off from comets close to the sun, where Mercury orbits -- about 50 times as much for Mercury as for our moon, the researchers say. And tests using a big NASA gun made to simulate planetary impacts on a small scale seem to show the theory is plausible, the authors say. \"We show that carbon acts like a stealth darkening agent,\" said Peter Schultz, a professor emeritus of geological sciences at Brown University. \"From the standpoint of spectral analysis, it's like an invisible paint.\"", "summary": "Mercury was \"painted black\" by millions of years of micrometeorites, researchers say .

+{"article": "(CNN)Wednesday's terrorist attack, which killed 23 people, hit Tunisia where it hurt by targeting its flourishing tourism industry. The deadly attack on the prominent Bardo Museum near Tunisia's parliament in the country's capital, Tunis, is the latest instance of an armed assault carried out by gunmen willing to fight to the death, a tactic that has been widely adopted by jihadist terrorists in recent years, including in North Africa. Such attacks mimic the 2008 Mumbai assaults in which 10 gunmen from Pakistan went on a rampage in the massive Indian port city. They took hostages and killed more than 160 people over a three-day period, in an attack that drew sustained global TV coverage. The gunmen attacked iconic Mumbai targets such as the Taj hotel, which is frequented by Westerners. The Mumbai gunmen embarked on their attack knowing that it was a \"fedayeen\" mission -- meaning \"those who sacrifice themselves\" -- and that they would probably fight to the death. Only one gunman survived. In this week's Tunisia attack, the gunmen took hostages, two gunmen died in the assault, and three survived and are being hunted by the Tunisian government. Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid said the attackers at the Bardo Museum had specifically targeted tourists to hurt the country's economy. This seems a likely outcome of the attack, as tourism is vital to Tunisia's economy, providing 15% of GDP. Tunisia is also the only country where the Arab Spring produced a successful, lasting democratic transition, making it attractive to tourists who are avoiding going to countries like Egypt, which did not weather the Arab Spring as well as Tunisia. Already, some tour companies are canceling excursions to Tunis. In January, in Tunisia's neighbor Libya, the local branch of ISIS mounted a similar attack on the upscale Corinthia Hotel in the capital, Tripoli. Two gunmen, one of them a Tunisian, killed 10 people, including an American. Both gunmen died in the attack. This attack served ISIS' purposes of sowing greater instability in Libya and expunging Western influence from the country, as the hotel was where many foreign businessmen stayed. A senior US official told one of us that the U.S. intelligence community estimates that jihadist terrorist groups such as ISIS now control a twelfth of the landmass of Libya, which is one of the largest countries on the African continent. This is a sobering finding for Tunisia, which had been largely immune from the kinds of terrorist attacks that have recently plagued Libya and other North African countries. While the museum attack in Tunisia and the hotel attack in Libya may help terrorist groups to achieve their strategic goals, more often than not, armed assaults by terrorists against so-called soft targets such as hotels, supermarkets and malls do not achieve much beyond the tactical successes of global news coverage and causing mayhem. In September 2013, Al-Shabaab, the Somali al Qaeda affiliate, killed 67 people in a fedayeen-style armed assault on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya.

As events were underway Saturday in Selma, hundreds of people marched across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York to symbolize their unity with the Alabama commemoration.

+{"article": "Boston (CNN)Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's attorney made one thing clear during her opening statement in the Boston Marathon bombing trial: He did it. \"It was him,\" defense attorney Judy Clarke told jurors. Tsarnaev carried one of the pressure cooker bombs on April 15, 2013, and placed it near the finish line, she said. He was there when a police officer was killed. He was involved in a shootout with police. The accused bomber will not sidestep any of his actions, Clarke said. So, why even a trial at all? Because there's disagreement over why Tsarnaev did it, Clarke said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was influenced by his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Clarke said. He was enlisted by his brother to commit these horrific acts, she said. The first day of the trial provided jurors with a peek at the strategies of the prosecution and defense. Based on their opening statements, both sides agree on the basic facts around the attacks -- who carried them out and how. But both sides presented divergent views of why Dzhokhar Tsarnaev carried out the attacks. The goal of the Tsarnaev brothers was to kill as many people as possible, U.S. prosecutor Bill Weinreb said during his initial statement to jurors. The prosecutor described in detail the deaths of three victims near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon and painted a picture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as a holy warrior committed to violence. More than 260 others were maimed or injured by two pressure cooker bombs that exploded within 12 seconds of each other. A fourth person, an MIT police officer, was ambushed and killed in his patrol car three days after the bombings as Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, allegedly ran from police.

Weinreb said Tsarnaev's actions after the bombings -- going to Whole Foods to buy a gallon of milk, hanging out with friends -- show that he didn't care about what he did. To the contrary, the prosecutor told jurors, he believed he had done good. The motive for the attacks can be found in the boat that ultimately became Tsarnaev's hideout before his arrest, he said.

+{"article": "(CNN)NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has started a trip to the record books. He plans to spend 342 days on the International Space Station -- the longest stretch of time any U.S. astronaut has spent in space. Kelly lifted off Friday aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that launched from Kazakhstan. The rocket docked at the ISS at 9:33 p.m. ET, according to a tweet from NASA, with hatches between the Soyuz and the space station scheduled to open about 11:15 p.m. ET. Kelly will stay twice as long as any U.S. astronaut has ever stayed on the space station, giving scientists a chance to study how the human body responds to long-duration space flights. On Earth, scientists will perform parallel studies on Scott Kelly's identical twin brother, retired astronaut Mark Kelly. \"It's a lot of fun,\" Kelly said at a media briefing in January. \"Space station is a magical place.\" Two cosmonauts are riding up with Kelly: Mikhail Kornienko and Gennady Padalka. Kornienko also will stay up for a year. Padalka will only stay up for six months. The trio will join three crew members already on the space station: U.S. astronaut Terry Virts, Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov and Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti. Other crew members also will rotate in and out during their year in orbit so it will never be just Kelly and Kornienko on the station. Kelly, 51, hopes to break the record for the longest mission on the space station set by NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin. They spent over seven months on the ISS -- from September 18, 2006, to April 21, 2007. He is expected to spend 342 days off the planet on this mission. When added to his previous space missions, that would give him a total of 522 days in space, breaking the record of U.S. astronaut Mike Fincke. Fincke spent a combined 381 days, 15 hours and 11 minutes in space, according to his official NASA bio. While Kelly shoots to set space station and other U.S. records, Padalka is on schedule to set a record for the most total time in space for a human. He's already spent more than 710 days in space, including stays on Russia's Mir space station and three previous stints on the International Space Station. Why do it? Why stay up on the station so long? NASA wants to know more about the impact of long-duration spaceflights on the human body to help plan missions to Mars and deeper into space. And the space station, in orbit 250 miles above Earth, is the best place available to study that. Spending that much time in a weightless environment will take a toll. NASA says space station astronauts have vision changes, bone loss, muscle atrophy and other problems. NASA says the experiments should have benefits on Earth, such as helping patients recover from long periods of bed rest to improved monitoring of people whose bodies are unable to fight infections.

Opening ceremonies in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race kick off Saturday in Anchorage. When the race begins Monday, mushers will cross the starting line in Fairbanks instead of Willow, the traditional starting point. It's the second time in the race's 43-year history that the starting point has moved from Willow to Fairbanks because of weather-related issues, an Iditarod spokesperson said. The first time was in 2003. While cities across the northeastern United States have seen record snowfall this winter, Alaska received less snow than usual. Anchorage collected only 20 inches of snow this season, compared with a seasonal average of 60 inches. Race organizers made the unanimous decision in February to move the race after determining that conditions were worse than last year in critical areas, and \"therefore not safe enough for the upcoming race,\" Iditarod Chief Executive Stan Hooley said in a press release. While snow has fallen east of the Alaska Range over the past couple of weeks, other parts of the trail did not get much or any of it, Hooley told CNN affiliate KTVA-TV in February. The racing course spans a 1,000-mile trail across the Arctic tundra, ending in Nome. The race usually takes 10 days to finish, although Dallas Seavey finished the race in 2014 in a record time of eight days, 13 hours, four seconds, and 19 minutes. The lack of snow could be attributed to a highly amplified jet stream that brought warm air from the Pacific to the region, said meteorologist Dave Snider with the National Weather Service in Anchorage. \"It's the same weather pattern that brought the east coast such snowy and cold weather this season. Alaska was simply on the warmer side of this weather pattern,\" he said.

The lucha libre fighter, whose real name is Pedro Aguayo Ramirez, was left slumped against the ropes after a flying kick from one of his opponents, Rey Mysterio, during the match Friday night. The other wrestlers continued with the fight as Aguayo's limp body slid down onto the mat, according to video footage of the bout posted on social media. The video showed ringside personnel repeatedly shaking Aguayo and talking to him without any response. He eventually received medical attention and was rushed out of the arena in the city of Tijuana. But doctors were unable to revive him. AAA, the wrestling promotion company for which Aguayo worked, said it was informed of his death around 1 a.m. Saturday. He was 35 years old. \"Mexican lucha libre is in mourning over the death of one of its star talents,\" the AAA said in a statement. Questions remained over what exactly caused Aguayo's death and why it took so long for him to receive medical treatment. Ernesto Franco, the duty doctor at the fight, told Mexico's state news agency Notimex that at the time of Aguayo's collapse, he was attending to other injured wrestlers, according to CNN Mexico. Franco said Aguayo's injury was the result of a blow to the neck region, adding that he spent about an hour trying to revive him using \"all possible resuscitation measures.\" The Associated Press reported that the state prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into possible manslaughter. The AAA said Friday's fight was organized by another promotion company named The Crash. Aguayo's death prompted an outpouring of grief on social media from fans and members of the wrestling industry. \"I will miss you and carry you with me for the rest of my life,\" tweeted Rey Mysterio, who landed the flying kick on Aguayo. \"Rest in peace, Hijo del Perro.\" He posted two images on Instagram that appeared to show him and Aguayo at a young age and again later in life. \"I had the privilege to share a ring for the first time with Hijo del Perro Aguayo in his debut as a professional wrestler and an honor to be in the ring with this great legend for the last time!\" he wrote. \"You will be missed, Perro.\" WWE wrestler Mark Henry tweeted, \"Respect to fallen brother in arms!\" \"I and the WWE universe pray for your peace and comfort to your family!\" Henry wrote. Aguayo is the son of one of the giants of Mexican wrestling, Pedro \"Perro\" Aguayo. The younger Aguayo began his career in 1995 at the age 15, according to the AAA.

The subject (take a deep breath and prepare to be shocked): ISIS. Yes, that barbaric terrorist group was ridiculed in a parody of a Toyota Camry commercial. The original Toyota ad depicted a father driving his daughter to the airport. He then tearfully says goodbye as his daughter heads off to join the U.S. Army. In the \"SNL\" parody, the daughter is played by Dakota Johnson, star of the hugely successful S&M film \"50 Shades of Grey.\" (Good to see America has gotten over being offended by the mainstreaming of S&M.) As the parody commercial ends, however, it's revealed that the daughter is not joining the Army, but ISIS. We then see a pickup filled with ISIS fighters drive up as a worried Dad comments to his daughter: \"You be careful, OK?\" Johnson replies reassuringly: \"Dad! It's just ISIS.\" The father then turns to an ISIS fighter and says, with emotion, \"Take care of her.\" In reply, the militant whispers: \"Death to America.\" And ... cue the outrage!! Twitter lit up instantly. Twitter user @ematrudo called NBC and \"SNL\" \"Tasteless Scum!\" And Steve Bucci of conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation even went as far as to tweet: \"SNL ISIS skit also draws a moral equivalence between ISIS murderers and the U.S. Military (based on the spoofed commercial), that is wrong.\" Some, apparently in the minority if the media coverage is any indication, also praised \"SNL\": .

Comically skewering ISIS is exactly the right thing to do -- it should be done even more. In fact, in Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates and even in Iraq, where ISIS is slaughtering people, brave Muslim comedians are ridiculing ISIS on TV, in YouTube videos and in cartoons. And I can assure you that if ISIS were to catch these comedians, it wouldn't just tweet about its outrage, it would kill them. So why do these comedians take the chance? Because, they say, it undermines ISIS, and also, for many, it is cathartic to laugh at the terrorists, as opposed to shivering in fear about them. This is the same reason Mel Brooks featured \"Springtime for Hitler\" in his hit musical comedy, \"The Producers\": It was a way of using comedy as revenge. Brooks saw it as a way to rob Hitler of his power (even if posthumously) by causing audiences to laugh at him. What's more, the \"SNL\" parody makes an important but subtle point. On the side of the ISIS pickup, the Arabic writing does not state a religious expression. Rather it says, \"I love cats.\" As someone who worked at \"SNL\" for eight years, I can assure you this was not happenstance, but rather was by design.

But could the ornate splendor of the UK's Houses of Parliament be about to offer a solution to London's housing crisis? In all honesty, probably not. However, that hasn't stopped housing campaign group, Generation Rent, from proposing to transform the Palace of Westminster into affordable new homes. The group's eye-catching idea is to move the seat of British democracy from one of London's most exclusive neighborhoods to a new location in the city of Hull, northern England. The vacant House of Commons and House of Lords (the UK's upper legislative chamber) left behind would be converted into 364 flats of varying size and scale with prime office space facing the River Thames. According to a press release on the proposal from Generation Rent, 335 MPs from all over the UK currently rent second homes so they can carry out their parliamentary duties more effectively. They claim expenses for doing so cost the taxpayer \u00a35.26 million ($8 million) in 2013 alone. By moving the seat of government to Hull, a city with the cheapest housing rent in England, millions could be saved in expenses as well as staffing costs, the group claims. Westminster is one of the most expensive boroughs for property in London, according to research from house moving firm, Delivery Quote Compare. The ever-rising cost of property in the UK capital, meanwhile, is making it increasingly difficult for many to buy or rent in central areas of the city. A January report from rental referencing company, Homelet, also found that average rental prices in Greater London were more than double that of those found in the rest of the UK . \"We hope our proposal gives MPs a sense of humility and some urgency to ending the housing crisis,\" said director of Generation Rent, Alex Hilton. Yet even if the Generation Rent proposals were seriously considered, they could come unstuck by the dilapidated state of the parliament building itself. Speaker of the House, John Bercow, said Monday that repairs needed to bring the nineteenth century structure up to scratch could come close to \u00a33 billion ($4.6 billion).

Naseer has maintained throughout the two-week trial that he is innocent, repeatedly denying all charges and insisting that he was in the United Kingdom to find a wife, not to plan an attack. The case is now in the hands of the jury, who began deliberations Tuesday. Judge Raymond Dearie instructed the jury to \"judge the facts and the facts alone.\" Naseer is charged with three criminal violations: providing material support to al Qaeda, conspiring to provide material support for al Qaeda, and conspiring to use a destructive device in relation to a crime of violence. Prosecutors accuse Naseer of using email addresses with female names to communicate with al Qaeda in planning the bomb attack. The \"female-sounding\" email addresses were created to attract less attention, prosecutors say. Naseer, a Pakistani national, was in the United Kingdom on a student visa at the time of his arrest. Prosecuting attorneys pointed to the fact that Naseer had dropped out of classes after only a week as further evidence of his guilt. Naseer had no intention of completing his studies because \"that was never the plan,\" Ahmad said, arguing that Naseer applied for a student visa as a means of entering the country to carry out the attack. \"If law enforcement hadn't stopped him, he would be the martyr in heaven he so wanted to be.

The Manchester plot was allegedly part of a three-pronged plan that also included attacks on the New York City subway system and on a newsroom in Copenhagen. The New York plot originated with a man named Najibullah Zazi, who is believed to have corresponded with the same al Qaeda contact as Naseer. Zazi pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and was the first witness in Naseer's trial. Naseer's 2009 arrest in England was part of a massive sweep in connection with an alleged plot to carry out bomb attacks in Britain. He was extradited in January 2013. A number of British intelligence agents -- disguised with makeup and wearing wigs -- testified that they tracked Naseer in 2009 as he visited the Manchester mall that was to be attacked. Prosecutors also accuse Naseer of using \"coded language\" in his emails to update al Qaeda on his progress. Email records show that Naseer sent an email on April 3, 2009, to a man named Sohaib, who Naseer says he met randomly in an online chatroom.

The Syrian civil war is a human calamity and it's getting worse, according to a furious new report from more than 20 aid groups. U.N. Security Council resolutions aimed at protecting civilians caught up in the conflict have failed miserably, the humanitarian organizations say in the report released Thursday. \"This spiraling catastrophe is a stain on the conscience of the international community,\" says the report, whose signatories include Oxfam and Save the Children. \"We're worried that, as we approach the fourth anniversary, this could turn into a situation of acceptance -- 'Oh, that's just the way it is over there' -- and that mustn't be,\" Nigel Timmins, deputy director for Oxfam Great Britain, told CNN.

At the very end of the trail, the cliff is breaking away -- seen here in a photo taken Wednesday,\" the government organization said. The NPS said hazardous conditions had been reported to it on March 19. John Dell'Osso from the Point Reyes National Seashore told CNN that it had posted warnings after being notified last Thursday that a crack had formed in the arch. \"We posted all kinds of notices up and down that particular trail, which is how probably how 99% of the people who would hike that far would (go), and all around our visitors' center in Trail Heads, just to warn people of the hazard that was out there,\" Dell'Osso said. \"We didn't know what could happen and what unfortunately did happen is on Saturday afternoon a large portion of that overlook actually collapsed down onto the beach and partly onto the ocean,\" he said. \"The tragedy is that there were two people that were standing out there who fell with all of that rubble.\" On Monday, the Marin County Sheriff's Office named the deceased as 58-year-old Nancy Blum, from California. It said she had been hiking about 6:30 p.m. Saturday \"when a structural collapse of the rock occurred.\" After emergency personnel reached Blum and her hiking companion, she was flown to Bear Valley Ranger Station, where she was pronounced dead. The National Park Service and the county coroner's office are investigating the cause of Blum's death. \"The cause of death will be pending the completion of toxicology studies,\" the sheriff's office said in a statement.

For that short period of time the Brazilian must have been panicking that his needless error had cost his Paris Saint-Germain side a place in the last eight of the European Champions League. His handball had gifted English Premier League leaders Chelsea a 2-1 aggregate advantage in extra time, but this was one tale that would be adorned with a Silva lining. Seconds after being denied by a world class save from Thibaut Courtois, Silva looped a header into the net to send PSG through on away goals. Not only did he save himself from a barrage of criticism, he also got colleague Zlatan Ibrahimovic out of jail too. The maverick Swedish striker's dismissal after 31 minutes made PSG's passage into the quarterfinals all the more remarkable, as it battled the best team in England with 10 men for an energy-sapping 90 minutes.

We don't want to stop at just 'black lives matter,' because all lives matter,\" he said. The deadly confrontation has made Madison the latest epicenter of protests.

We offer our heartfelt condolences for the pain you must be feeling at this time after the loss of 16 students and two teachers in the horrendous crash of Germanwings Flight 9525. There are no words of comfort that we could express that would ever be adequate. We know something about this sorrow. Almost 19 years ago our community lost 16 high school French Club students, along with five chaperones, in the crash of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of Long Island, New York. It is impossible to be prepared for such a horrific tragedy that touches so many so personally. During the dark hours of waiting for word of possible survivors from Flight 800, the pain for the family members was excruciating. As word came that there were no survivors, that all hope was extinguished, the anguish became almost unbearable. Students, former students, teachers and other community members began to fill the hallways of the high school building because they didn't know where else to go to find consolation. Local pastors, priests, teachers and counselors were also gathering at the school to offer whatever comfort could be offered in such a moment. Within hours, phone calls began pouring in from former students and teachers who were now living outside the area, offering condolences and prayers for all. Since the disaster occurred over water, the recovery of loved ones took days, and even weeks in some cases. Positive identification of each individual lost took even longer, which only added to the anguish. The identifications came in one at a time over a period of several days; the waiting was nearly impossible to bear. School was not in session during the summer months, so students and school staff members were able to express their sense of loss as they felt necessary at any time. A community prayer service was arranged and held in the high school gymnasium to provide a place to weep together, and to share each other's pain. Local pastors and priests provided ongoing support to the families who had lost family members, and this continued for several months. Some struggled so deeply that professional counseling was suggested. Because we are a community of about 5,000 with just one high school, almost everyone opened their arms of support to those in deepest need by providing meals, baby-sitting, housecleaning and laundry services. Funeral services were held one at a time, some in the high school and others in local churches. Long lines of mourners waited in silence for the opportunity to at least offer condolences to family members. Twenty-one funeral services over a period of several days left many in the community without any more tears to cry. Within a couple of months, a memorial service was held on the local athletic field and attended by thousands. The hope was to bring closure for the community so it could attempt to return to a somewhat normal daily routine.

The 9-year-old girl suffered a head injury when the roof of her family home fell on top of her as Tropical Cyclone Pam raged over the South Pacific island where she lives. The storm, one of the most powerful ever to make landfall, killed her mother and brother. Now, Jacobeth's life hangs in the balance, says Dr. Lawrence Boe. If she's not airlifted soon, she could die in the stricken hospital whose equipment was damaged in the cyclone, the doctor told CNN on Tuesday. She needs surgery and a bed in an intensive care unit. Dr. Boe is the only doctor at the hospital, which is the only hospital on Tanna, one of more than 80 islands that make up the nation of Vanuatu. Cyclone Pam raked across the archipelago with 155 mph (250 kph) winds over the weekend, destroying thousands of homes and killing at least 11 people. The storm also cut off communications between the capital, Port Vila, and many of the outer islands like Tanna. That left Dr. Boe unable to reach anyone in the capital to ask for supplies or a medevac for Jacobeth, who lies in a room with dozens of other patients who were injured in the storm. Dr. Boe used a CNN satellite phone on Tuesday to raise the alarm. He said he thinks authorities are going to send some help. He listed to CNN some of the basic but vital resources the hospital is lacking: \"Water and food for the patients and some medical supplies to deal with the injuries. IV fluids and rehydration fluids for dehydration.\" \"Water would be number one on the list,\" he said. Tanna is an hour-long flight from the capital.

Aid groups have expressed serious fears about the potential scale of the devastation left by the cyclone on the more remote islands of Vanuatu, where many people live in rickety homes made of thatch or metal sheets. The death toll currently stands at 11, according to Vanuatu authorities, five of them from Tanna. But officials say it will take days or even weeks to get a full picture of the destruction.

So began an odyssey with Ferguson police, municipal court and city hall that left her with $1,200 in fines that to this day she still doesn't fully understand. She paid the sum because endless court hearings about the car wore her down. \"I don't have a lawyer. I'm not a lawyer. It's me going up against the city of Ferguson when the attorneys won't help,\" Hoskin said this week. She never saw again her 1996 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight with 168,000 miles. Its location is a mystery. She accepts the loss because at least she's not in jail, where city authorities threatened to put her at one point, she said. While Hoskin's surrender of both car and $1,200 to the city may seem a matter of personal choice, the U.S. Justice Department revealed this week a \"pattern and practice\" of racial discrimination within Ferguson that may lend credibility to Hoskin's account of a government run amok. Just about every branch of Ferguson government -- police, municipal court, city hall -- participated in \"unlawful\" targeting of African-American residents such as Hoskin for tickets and fines, the Justice Department concluded this week. The millions of dollars in fines and fees paid by black residents served an ultimate goal of satisfying \"revenue rather than public safety needs,\" the Justice Department found. To the outside world, the federal findings were staggering, but to Hoskin and other longtime residents, the conclusion was nothing new. They've felt it all along, they say. It's only now that federal authorities have documented the institutionalized racism, as part of a civil rights investigation after a white police officer's fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen, Michael Brown, 19, last summer. The officer, Darren Wilson, was cleared of federal civil rights violations this week and was earlier cleared of criminal wrongdoing. The Justice Department is expected to pursue a court-supervised consent decree that requires the city of Ferguson to make changes to its police and courts. \"It's definitely a vicious cycle,\" said Hoskin, 64, a retired airline reservation agent. \"Unfortunately for most people who are in this cycle, they continue to be in a downward spiral because they can't get jobs, they can't do anything, they can't pay the fines.\" Hoskin's household has experienced its share of ugly encounters with Ferguson police, the family said. Hoskin's daughter was ticketed by police in what she described as racial profiling, she said. In 2007, Kimberly Hoskin got a $124 ticket for driving her sister's car, which wasn't insured in Missouri, and then had to pay an additional $100 fine when she missed a court appearance because of an emergency appendectomy.

The disagreement started in late February, when the North Korean government demanded an increase of around $8.60 a month for North Korean employees working in the Kaesong Industrial Complex. South Korea is working on a response to the demands, leaving factory owners worried about the threat of a factory shutdown. \"I'm already nervous about the situation because of the traumatic experience in 2013 when the North closed down the complex,\" said Yoo Chang-geun, the South Korean head of an automobile parts manufacturer that employs 400 North Koreans in Kaesong. Yoo's company, SJ Tech, operates out of Kaesong, which is just north of the Demilitarized Zone in North Korean territory. He was referring to North Korea's monthslong closure of Kaesong in 2013, during a period of heightened tension on the peninsula. About 125 South Korean companies operate out of Kaesong, employing more than 50,000 North Korean workers. An official from the South Korean government's Unification Ministry, who according to policy spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity, says companies at Kaesong pay their North Korean workers an average of $155.50 a month. North Korea is demanding an increase of roughly 5.5%, to an equivalent $164.10 a month. The South Korean government argues that the salary hike is a breach of an existing agreement for the industrial park, which first opened in 2004. The official called the North's request a \"one-sided demand.\" The official did not rule out the possibility that penalties could be imposed on South Korean companies if they individually agree to raise employee salaries. Manufacturers in Kaesong rely on the government in Seoul to represent them in negotiations with Pyongyang. \"It feels like we're entering a very difficult phase where innocent corporations are being beaten up by political fights between the North and South,\" Kim Seo-Jin, the director of Corporate Association of the Kaesong Industrial Complex, said Wednesday. Experts say this isn't the first time the North and South have butted heads over employee salaries in Kaesong. The industrial park was established as a symbol of cooperation at a time when a previous government in South Korea was pursuing a \"Sunshine Policy\" of friendship with its northern rival. South Korean companies benefited from the extremely low cost of North Korean labor. Meanwhile, North Korea gained a valuable stream of hard currency revenue by appropriating an undisclosed amount of salary from its citizens working in Kaesong. South Korean employers also made a practice of giving small food bonuses to some hungry employees. For a time, this came in the form of \"Choco Pies,\" a packaged South Korean dessert. The snacks reportedly became highly-prized items on the black market in the communist North's rigidly controlled economy. Eventually, employers transitioned to giving workers instant noodles, as one former Kaesong factory owner told CNN in 2014, \"in order to provide a more substantial snack.\" \"The whole project is built with an understanding", "summary": "The disagreement started in late February .

+{"article": "(CNN)Utah's governor signed a bill Monday that brings back firing squads as a potential way to execute some death row prisoners. Lethal injection remains the primary method for carrying out executions in the state, Gov. Gary R. Herbert said in a statement. A firing squad would only be used in the event the necessary drugs cannot be obtained. \"Those who voiced opposition to this bill are primarily arguing against capital punishment in general and that decision has already been made in our state,\" said Marty Carpenter, a spokesman for Herbert. \"We regret anyone ever commits the heinous crime of aggravated murder to merit the death penalty and we prefer to use our primary method of lethal injection when such a sentence is issued. However, when a jury makes the decision and a judge signs a death warrant, enforcing that lawful decision is the obligation of the executive branch,\" he said. Utah banned death by firing squad in 2004, though inmates who chose that option before the law changed still ended up being shot to death. The last execution by firing squad was in 2010, and it was also the most recent execution in Utah. A Utah firing squad also executed Gary Gilmore in 1977, the first death by capital punishment after the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty the prior year.

My childhood memories are of a prolonged state of emergency that was characterized by acute food shortages and an economic decline where the basic needs of the average Zambian family were barely met. My siblings and I -- and our gang of friends from around the farmlands -- spent countless hours sitting on a deserted piggery wall, perfecting our extra-terrestrial code language. Our goal was to send an SOS out to the superheroes in the galaxies, and had our code language been refined enough to reach across the chasm of space, perhaps a spaceship would come down to Earth to save us from our dreary lives and carry us away into outer space. Searching for superheroes . Rewind to just a few years earlier -- in the mid to late 1970s and before the economic decline -- when superheroes like Superman, Spiderman, Batman and the Incredible Hulk were huge deals for anyone growing up. In our childhood eyes, these were powerful, all-embodying beings, and their brands were merchandised on T-shirts, caps, lunchboxes, toys, and just about everything. They influenced many aspects of the childhood experience to such an extent that I spent a lot of my formative years aspiring to become a superhero when I grew up. But then disillusionment set in. It dawned on me that I would never be a superhero seeing as most of them were male -- and all of them white. The frantic search for an alternative and relatable superhero that followed only resulted in more disillusionment. So many years later, in the year 2015, it is somewhat bewildering to experience today the same disillusionment when I see so little representation of cultural minorities in popular media. This is a big deal to me. I am of that school of thought that believes that radio, television, film and other media of popular culture provide the symbols, myths and resources through which we constitute a common culture. Meet Ananiya .

They've earned their name for the black hats they wear during their heists, and the feds say they're becoming increasingly dangerous. \"In an escalation of violence, the Black Hat Bandits have become more brazen at each robbery having threatened bank customers and tellers, most recently holding a gun to a customer's head, and jumping teller counters in attempts to gain access to bank vaults,\" according to an FBI wanted poster. An FBI statement last month provided more details: \"During each robbery the black hat bandits have been described as carrying handguns and wearing winter coats, sunglasses, black hats (either a winter knit cap or wide brimmed hat) and facial disguises such as ski masks or a fake beard.\" The bandits pulled off their most recent robbery Monday during lunch hour at a Wells Fargo bank in Falls Church, Virginia. It marked the crew's eighth bank robbery this year. \"We now confirm that this is a three-person crew: two who take over the bank and one who waits in the car,\" an FBI spokesperson told CNN affiliate WJLA. No one was injured in the holdup, which unfolded after two black-clad men -- one African-American, one white -- entered the bank with firearms, robbed the bank and fled in a vehicle waiting outside, police told the station. Hours after the robbery, investigators were at the scene gathering evidence, which included a footprint in the snow, WJLA reported. It was the second Falls Church bank robbery in recent weeks, but the February 21 robbery of an Apple Federal Credit Union two blocks from Monday's crime scene was the work of a lone gunman, not the Black Hat Bandits, authorities told WJLA. The robbers who committed Monday's robbery are described as in their 40s and between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall, according to the FBI. Other banks which the Black Hat Bandits are suspected of robbing include a Bank of America in McLean, Virginia, on January 2; a BB&T in Fairfax, Virginia, on January 16; a Bank of America in Vienna, Virginia, on January 20; an Essex Bank in Arnold, Maryland, on January 30; and a SunTrust Bank in Waldorf, Maryland, on February 5. In one of their more audacious undertakings, the robbers hit two banks on February 18. First, they hit a BB&T in Vienna, Virginia, before traveling to a Wells Fargo in Sterling, Virginia, 40 minutes later. \"One of the suspects put his gun to a customer's head while demanding everyone to 'get down,' and demanded money from a victim teller. In both robberies the subjects fled the banks with an undisclosed amount of money,\" the FBI said in a statement.

Tairod Nathan Webster Pugh, accused of making the foiled attempt in January, was indicted by a grand jury on charges of trying to give material support to the terror group and obstruction of justice, the U.S. Justice Department said in a two-count indictment announced Tuesday. Among the evidence, prosecutors allege: Investigators discovered on his laptop computer a letter saying he wanted to \"use the talents and skills given to me by Allah to establish and defend the Islamic States,\" and a chart of crossing points between Turkey and Syria, where ISIS controls some territory. Who has been recruited to ISIS from the West? Pugh, a 47-year-old convert to Islam and a former New Jersey resident who served in the Air Force from 1986 to 1990, was arrested upon his return to the United States in January, the Justice Department said. \"Pugh, an American citizen and former member of our military, allegedly abandoned his allegiance to the United States and sought to provide material support to ISIL,\" Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Carlin said, using an alternate acronym for the Islamist terror group that controls territory in parts of Iraq and Syria. At his arraignment Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, Pugh appeared in a black T-shirt and khaki pants and stated his name. He pleaded not guilty through his attorney, Michael Schneider. The defendant, a former avionics instrument system specialist in the Air Force, flew from Egypt to Turkey on January 10, weeks after being fired from a Middle East-based job as an airplane mechanic, U.S. authorities allege. Why is ISIS so successful at luring Westerners? But Turkey denied him entry. In the indictment, U.S. authorities said Turkey was likely suspicious Pugh was headed for Syria. Instead Turkish officials sent him on a return flight to Egypt, where he was detained. In Egypt, he was carrying multiple electronic devices, \"including four USB thumb drives that had been stripped of their plastic casings and an iPod that had been wiped clean of data,\" the Justice Department said in a statement. Pugh had purposefully tampered with the devices to prevent others from getting access to his electronic media, the indictment said. Pugh was deported to the United States, where agents with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force obtained a warrant for his devices, including the laptop, the department said. Investigators found a letter from January addressed to a Misha, whom they believe is his wife, authorities said. In it, the writer says: \"I am a (mujahedeen).

I guarantee it would solve the problem post-haste if homosexuals were stoned, if murderers were immediately killed as the Bible commands.\" When he made the comments, Jones was part of a group of fundamentalist ministers who went to the White House with 70,000 signatures on a petition opposed to extending provisions of the Civil Rights Act to homosexuals. \"Upon now reading these long-forgotten words, they seem to me as words belonging to a total stranger -- were my name not attached,\" Jones said in Saturday's statement. \"I cannot erase them, but wish I could, because they do not represent the belief of my heart or the content of my preaching.\" Bob Jones University has long been a center of controversy for its fundamentalist stances.

+{"article": "(CNN)A federal judge has ordered the Defense Department to release photos that allegedly show detainees being abused in detention centers in Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush administration. The photos won't be made public right away. In an order issued Friday, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein of the Southern District of New York granted the government 60 days to appeal. The ACLU sued the Defense Department in 2003 to have the photos made public. It's not clear how many photos are involved or where the pictures were taken, but in an August opinion Hellerstein said the government acknowledged having at least 29 pictures from at least seven different locations in Afghanistan and Iraq and may have hundreds or thousands more. Some of the photos may have come from the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. In 2004, photos became public that showed American soldiers abusing Abu Ghraib detainees and putting them into humiliating sexual positions. People in the Mideast and Americans were outraged and shocked by the photos, which added to the national debate on the use of torture in the war on terror. Hellerstein said the government failed to prove its argument that releasing the photos would endanger American soldiers or civilians overseas. In July 2011, the judge blocked release of the photos at the urging of the secretary of defense because U.S. troops were still fighting in Iraq. By December 2011, most U.S. ground troops had withdrawn from Iraq, the judge wrote, and he didn't know whether release of the photos would affect military operations. \"Three years is a long time in war, the news cycle and the international debate over how to respond to terrorism,\" he wrote. The judge also said the government failed to convince him a collective review of the photos met the requirements of the Protected National Security Documents Act. The ACLU argued the Defense Department must individually review each photo and explain why its release would put Americans in danger. Jameel Jaffer, ACLU deputy legal director, said in a statement that the photos are \"the best evidence of what took place in the military's detention centers, and their disclosure would help the public better understand the implications of some of the Bush administration's policies.\" A response by the Pentagon to the judge's decision was not immediately available. The Pentagon has refused to release the photos requested by the ACLU, saying publication could endanger American soldiers and civilians overseas. Several U.S. military leaders who saw some of the pictures made that argument in a December 19 filing in the lawsuit. They pointed to public demonstrations in Mideast countries that followed reports of Quran burnings, the release of the video \"Innocence of the Muslims\" and the 2012 release of a video that showed Americans soldiers urinating on dead enemy combatants.

Sinclair Harris of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Islamist extremist groups like ISIS use \"imagery associated with United States detention practices\" as part of their recruiting efforts.

Denmark's Minister for Foreign Affairs Martin Lidegaard said Vanin's remarks were unacceptable. \"Russia knows full well that NATO's missile defense is defensive and not targeted at them (Russia),\" Lidegaard said.\"However, I would not over-dramatize this. Right now we disagree with Russia on many important issues, but we also cooperate, for example, in the Arctic and it is important that the tone between us does not escalate. We certainly are not contributing to that.\" Tensions between Russia and NATO member countries have been mounting since Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and claims its military has been involved in the ongoing violence in eastern Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly denied its military is involved. In April 2014, NATO foreign ministers said they had \"decided to suspend all practical civilian and military cooperation between NATO and Russia\" over the issue. The United States and NATO allies have been conducting military exercises as part of \"Operation Atlantic Resolve,\" which the United States describes as \"a demonstration of our continued commitment to the collective security of NATO and dedication to the enduring peace and stability in the region, in light of the Russian intervention in Ukraine specifically.\" On March 2, NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow told the alliance's annual meeting on arms control: \"Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and its continuing destabilization of Eastern Ukraine have put the European security system -- and all the rules and agreements that underpin it -- under severe strain.\" Last Monday, state-run Russian media reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered his Northern Fleet \"to full alert in a snap combat readiness exercise\" in the Arctic. At least one Russian leader described the drill as routine and unrelated to the \"international situation.\" Conversely, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexey Meshkov told Tass news agency that Russia was \"deeply concerned\" about NATO drills near its border. NATO says the long-term goal of its missile shield is \"to merge individual Allies' missile defense assets into a coherent defense system, providing full protection for NATO European populations, territory and forces against ballistic missiles threats.\" NATO has previously asked Russia to participate in the system, but negotiations were deadlocked over Russia's demand for a legally binding treaty guaranteeing the shield would not be used as a deterrent to Moscow's own systems.", "summary": "Denmark slams Russia's envoy for warning against joining the NATO missile shield .

+{"article": "(CNN)By the time Cynthia Falardeau read about Alex Pring, a little boy who got a battery-powered robotic arm last summer, she had made peace with her son Wyatt's limb difference. Her premature baby had been born with his right arm tangled in amniotic bands. At a week old, doctors amputated his dead forearm and hand. They were afraid his body would be become infected and he would die. Falardeau mourned her boy's missing arm for years but, in time, embraced her son as he was. Wyatt also learned to adapt. They tried a couple of prosthetics when he was younger and each time the toddler abandoned the false limb within months. \"His main interest was to create a shocking response from onlookers by pulling it off in the grocery store,\" Falardeau wrote on CNN iReport. In truth, she had been more concerned about getting him therapy for his autism-related delays -- the limb difference was secondary. So when a friend shared a story from the \"Today Show\" with Wyatt in mind, about a team of University of Central Florida (UCF) students and graduates that made an electronic arm for 6-year-old Pring using a three-dimensional printer on campus, Falardeau was defensive. \"He doesn't need this,\" she thought. Her fifth-grader had a different reaction: \"I want one of these robot arms!\" Falardeau remembers Wyatt telling her and her husband. \"I could ride a bike! I might even be able to paddle a kayak!\" There were other things the 12-year-old boy said he would do if he had two hands. A proper somersault. Clap with two hands. Dance with a pretty girl with one hand on her back and the other leading. Stuff she hadn't really thought about but he clearly had. Falardeau got in touch with the Orlando students through E-Nable, an online volunteer organization started by Rochester Institute of Technology research scientist Jon Schull to match people who have 3-D printers with children in need of hands and arms. The organization creates and shares bionic arm designs for free download at EnablingTheFuture.org that can be assembled for as little as $20 to $50. Middle and high school student groups and Girl and Boy Scout troops are among those donating their time and materials to assemble limbs for kids and give them to recipients for free. The UCF team, which operates a nonprofit called Limbitless Solutions, is special because it's the only group in the 3-D volunteer network making electronic arms. Most 3-D arms are mechanical, which presents a challenge for children without elbows. With mechanical arms, the child opens and closes their hand by bending their elbow. The students came up with the idea for an electronic arm with a muscle sensor that allows the child to open and close their hand by flexing their bicep. \"It's really just a step-by-step process of solving problems. The first problem we solved was: how do we make the hand move electronically? And then: how do we attach this arm to a child?\" said sophomore Tyler Petresky. \"It's just one problem after another we keep solving.", "summary": "Around the world, volunteers with 3-D printers are making limbs for children.

+{"article": "(CNN)Russian police moved with surprising speed to arrest five suspects, all of them Chechens, in the killing of opposition figure Boris Nemtsov. They tried to arrest a sixth suspect, but he reportedly threw a grenade at the arresting officers and then blew himself up. Yet that speed has only raised more questions about who wanted Nemtsov dead -- and why? Conspiracy theories are rife, but so far, none seem totally convincing. \u2022 The Kremlin did it. Some members of Russia's opposition -- and Nemtsov's daughter -- are convinced Russia's government was behind Nemtsov's killing. But why? And why now? Nemtsov, 55, had been an opposition leader for years and had recently been overshadowed by younger members of the opposition such as Alexey Navalny. So killing him now doesn't seem to make sense. Some of Nemtsov's supporters claim he had become a bigger threat to the Kremlin, pointing to information he was allegedly uncovering on Russia's military role in Ukraine that could undermine the Kremlin's claims that its forces fighting in Ukraine have been just \"volunteers.\" But the dramatic staging of the killing -- he was shot in the back on a famous Moscow bridge against the backdrop of Red Square and the Kremlin, where Putin has his office -- seems a bit too obvious. And how exactly does it help Putin to look like a killer? \u2022 The West did it. Some Russian politicians and media personalities close to the Kremlin charge that Putin's foes in the West orchestrated the killing to damage the Russian President's image and ignite a civil war in Russia. But why would Washington want to destroy someone who was championing democracy and who is friendly to the United States? (Conspiracy theorists reply: to create a \"sacrificial lamb\" and blame the slaughter on Putin.) \u2022 It was the Chechens. Here, the plot thickens. The key suspect, Zaur Dadayev, reportedly initially confessed to being involved with the shooting. But then, Russian media reported, he denied involvement. Russian officials have alleged that Dadayev, a former security officer and fervent Muslim, decided to punish Nemtsov for supporting the rights of the French Charlie Hebdo journalists to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. But Nemtsov's allies point out that he was not anti-Muslim and rarely spoke of the cartoons -- he was by no means a central figure in the cartoon story. To make things more complicated, the strongman leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, praised Dadayev as a brave soldier, a religious man and a \"real patriot.\" But on Tuesday, Putin awarded Kadyrov the Order of Honor, and the Chechen leader pledged he would die for Putin. A further twist is that Chechens reportedly are fighting in Ukraine -- on both sides of the battle line (for the Ukrainian government and for the Russian-allied separatists.) That's led some back to the theory that Nemtsov was killed because of his allegedly explosive information on Russia's role in Ukraine. \u2022 The Ukrainians did it.

+{"article": "Boston (CNN)The defense in the trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev rested Tuesday afternoon after presenting only four witnesses. Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday. The defense case lasted less than two days, while the prosecution presented more than 90 witnesses over the course of a month. Federal prosecutors rested their case Monday with grisly testimony about how the bomb Dzhokhar Tsarnaev placed near the marathon's finish line tore through the bodies of 8-year-old Martin Richard and Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old grad student. A second bomb placed by Tsarnaev's brother, Tamerlan, killed Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager. The short presentation in the sensational trial wasn't surprising, given that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's attorney, Judy Clarke, acknowledged during opening statements that \"it was him,\" referring to her client's culpability. Testimony ended with an FBI fingerprint investigator who talked about numerous pieces of evidence with Tamerlan's fingerprints and not Dzhokhar's. Earlier, a computer expert testified about computer searches on Tamerlan's computer -- including gun stores, transmitters, fireworks firing system, detonator and Boston Marathon -- in the weeks before the bombing. Similar searches were not found on Dzhokhar's computer. Jurors first will be asked to determine whether Tsarnaev is guilty of 30 counts. Because 17 of those counts carry the death penalty as a possible punishment, a second phase of the trial will follow if the jury convicts him. In the penalty phase, jurors will be asked to weigh aggravating factors, such as the heinousness of the crime, versus mitigating factors, such as Tsarnaev's family history and his youth. He was 19 at the time of the bombings. The defense, which began calling witnesses Monday afternoon, has argued that Tsarnaev, known to friends as Jahar, fell under the sway of his more extremist older brother after their parents moved back to Russia. Jahar Tsarnaev was flunking out of the University of Massachusetts and had lost his financial aid at the time of the bombings. Prosecutors William Weinreb, Aloke Chakravarty, Nadine Pellegrini and Steve Mellin presented witnesses who told the story of Tsarnaev's alleged scheme with Tamerlan to build and detonate pressure cooker bombs as an act of jihad. The brothers, Muslims of Chechen descent, allegedly sought to kill Americans at an iconic public event to retaliate against U.S. policies they believed harmed and oppressed Muslims abroad. Prosecutors delved into Tsarnaev's text messages and Twitter posts and showed jurors militant material found in his laptop, phone and iPod. They included writings available online from top leaders of al Qaeda. They used data mined from a GPS device and store receipts to trace the purchase of the pressure cookers, BBs and ammunition. Jurors saw photos of pressure cooker parts, fuses, Christmas lights and other bombmaking materials found in the Tsarnaev family's Cambridge apartment, where Tamerlan lived with his wife and child.

+{"article": "(CNN)Mention the words \"sand\" and \"golf\" together, and the chances are you'll leave many players shuddering at the memory of being trapped in bunkers after another wayward shot. But in other parts of the world, sand golf is a version of the game in its own right. The idea of playing a round without verdant fairways to stride down or lush greens to putt (and, of course, miss) on seems strange, even wrong. Sometimes needs must, though. Half a century ago, expat oil workers with an enthusiasm for golf had nowhere in Abu Dhabi to play. In the baking desert heat, with little or no irrigation possible, the equation was simple: they either had to adapt to the surroundings or there'd be no golf at all. The result was an incarnation of the game in which the only grass to be seen is artificial, found on a mat carried around by players to serve both as a tee and a surface from which to strike when the ball is on the fairway. Fairways? They consist entirely of sand and are indicated by marker posts. If the ball lands outside them, it's in the sand golf equivalent of the rough -- stony terrain that the unwary player may soon find is home to a few snakes and a lizard or two. Greens? Well, they're known as \"browns,\" built from clay and topped with a mixture of sand and oil to provide a true putting surface, a formula arrived at through trial and error. It's an odd environment, this golfing world with a palette of golden-brown colors. And with rapidly developing irrigation and growing techniques enabling grass courses to be built in desert climes, it's an increasingly unusual one. Back in 1961, determined British oil workers created a sand course on an atoll known as Das Island, around 100 miles off Abu Dhabi in the Persian Gulf. It was the country's first-ever golf club. As the expat population grew, so did the demand for the game, and in 1971 sand golf moved into Abu Dhabi proper with the opening of a course near the Sea Palace.

As the party works to retake control of the Senate in 2016, Democrats are looking at a Senate landscape that could feature titanic intraparty clashes starring big personalities who have been waiting years for a shot at the big time. It's a big shift from recent years when Republicans, riven by long-standing ideological fault lines, faced divisive and attention-grabbing primaries, usually pitting a party favorite against insurgents from the conservative grassroots. Memorably, in 2010 and 2012, the fights were so damaging that Republicans failed to pick up winnable Senate seats by nominating flagrantly unprepared candidates. Democrats, for the most part, have not had to face the same problem. But that might be changing. While the fields of candidates are still taking shape, a platoon of Democrats are mulling Senate bids in Ohio, Florida, Maryland, California, Pennsylvania and Illinois. While many of them have yet to formally declare campaigns, none possess the kind of field-clearing star power that could help Democrats avoid a primary bonanza, and few show signs of putting their ambitions aside for the sake of party unity. Republican primary battles aren't going anywhere in 2016, and on the presidential level, Democrats continue to line up behind Hillary Clinton as their nominee, without a whiff a serious primary challenge. But there is a different story unfolding in the next race for the Senate, where the question is whether Democrats will cleave along ideological and generational lines in primary fights, jeopardizing the party's hopes of regaining control of the the Upper Chamber. \"The great irony of Democrats celebrating fissures amongst Republicans in recent years is that historically they're much less capable of confronting the extreme elements within their party than the GOP,\" said Josh Holmes, a former top strategist to Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell. \"Now we're watching several years of pent-up liberal aggression about to spill into divisive primaries that will undoubtedly complicate things considerably for their Senate chances.\" Democrats scoff at the idea, claiming that no potential candidate has the ability to fumble away a Senate win against the many Republicans up for re-election next year. Of the nine Senate seats rated as toss-up or competitive the Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report, seven of them are held by Republicans elected in the tea party wave of 2010. Democrats need a net gain of five seats to take back the Senate. \"Unfortunately for the numerous vulnerable Republican senators, there are no Todd Akins here, and there isn't a single state on the map with a Democratic primary that will negatively impact our ability win the state,\" said Justin Barasky, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's communications director. Akin, of course, was the GOP nominee in Missouri in 2012 who derailed his own campaign with a comment about \"legitimate rape.\" Last cycle, Barasky said, Democrats witnessed hotly contested Senate primaries in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Hawaii. All of those fights were in blue states, of course. But none of them resulted in a November", "summary": "Recently, it's been Republicans who have been in attention-getting, bruising primaries .

The gadget was updated to a TV phone in 1964, heralding a fantastic future for mobile communications. A half-century later the future is finally here, with a new wave of Tracy-esque devices certain to accelerate following the much anticipated debut of Apple Watch in April -- which became official with the company's \"Spring Forward\" preview on Monday. In classic fashion, consumers huddled around Apple stores to get a peek, some even showing up wearing padded wrist \"hoodies\" to make room for the watch when it goes on sale next month. Naturally, Apple faithful were urged on by Tim Cook, who tweeted: \"Got some extra rest for today's event. Slept in 'til 4:30.\" Arianna Huffington weighed in on Twitter, too: \"Looking forward to a smart watch that tells me not to cram too many things into too few hours.\" Analysts project sales of 25 million the first year and nearly 70 million by 2018. Prices for the new watch range from $349 to a reported high of $17,000 for an 18-karat gold version to make any Rolex show-off feel at home. Enthusiasm for Apple Watch -- and its long line of apps -- could lift the fortunes of Samsung, Sony, Pebble and others pitching their own interactive watches, making the human wrist the most coveted piece of real estate since the redevelopment of Times Square. If Apple Watch does indeed take off, it would reignite the emerging -- but tricky -- market for wearable devices following Google's sudden move in January to halt public sales of its Glass product, which failed to catch on in light of what the Wall Street Journal said were concerns over \"privacy, technical shortcomings and a lack of obvious uses.\" The company is going back to its drawing board and hopes to re-introduce Glass later this year. As the wearables wrist race heats up, it's worth considering how these meta-timepieces -- with their tactile messaging, biometric loops and eye-controlled display screens -- could alter everyday behavior and spur new codes of etiquette, not to mention a few novel personality disorders. One of the most awaited features of Apple Watch will be its \"taptic\" engine, a sensory feedback tool derived from gamer joystick technology that allows for personalized tapping vibrations -- a \"Yo\"-like blip for a work pal or an echo of your own heartbeat captured through an embedded cardio sensor. Of course, your intended recipients will need their own Apple Watch to \"feel\" your greeting. Early adopters will have to be extra careful with these taps -- imagine the explaining needed when someone inevitably sends a sonic valentine of their beating heart to their boss, or their child's soccer coach.

+{"article": "(CNN)NASCAR driver Kurt Busch will not be charged with domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend, the Delaware Department of Justice announced Thursday, citing a lack of evidence. Busch was accused by Patricia Driscoll of grabbing her by the throat and slamming her head against the wall in his motor home at Dover International Speedway in September. \"After a thorough consideration of all of the available information about the case, it is determined that the admissible evidence and available witnesses would likely be insufficient to meet the burden of establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Busch committed a crime during the September 26th incident,\" Delaware Department of Justice public information officer Carl Kanefsky said in a statement. \"Likelihood of meeting that high burden of proof is the standard for prosecutors in bringing a case. For this reason, the Department of Justice will not pursue criminal charges in this case.\" In a statement Thursday, Busch said he is grateful that the prosecutors decided not to file charges. \"I wish to thank my family, friends, fans, and race team who stood by me throughout this nightmare with their unwavering support,\" Busch said. \"Thanks also goes to my legal team for making sure that the truth got out and was fully provided to the prosecutors. As I have said from the beginning, I did not commit domestic abuse. I look forward to being back in racing as soon as possible and moving on with my life.\" While Busch will not be charged, he must stay away from Driscoll for one year, a Kent County, Delaware, family court commissioner ruled in February. Driscoll had requested a no-contact order against Busch. Stemming from the family court ruling, NASCAR suspended Busch indefinitely shortly before the Daytona 500. That decision was upheld after appeal. CNN has reached out to NASCAR for an update on Busch's status but did not immediately hear back. \"Patricia and I are very disappointed that Kurt will not be prosecuted for the abusive acts he committed in September,\" Driscoll's attorney, Carolyn McNeice, said Thursday. \"The (attorney general's) decision, however, only makes the order that we received for protection from abuse that much more important. \"As you can see, in some cases, this is the only protection the victim will get. This civil no contact order is a critical tool for protecting victims.\" Busch's attorney, Rusty Hardin, previously has said that he would appeal the family court ruling and would continue to work to clear Busch's name. At the no-contact hearing, Busch testified that he believes Driscoll is a trained assassin for the U.S. government and that she once showed up wearing a gown covered in blood. Driscoll is a defense contractor and is authorized to carry weapons.

But a national coffee shop chain waded into an area of social conflict that is as old as the slave ships and as modern as stop-and-frisk policing. Then people went crazy. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz was accused of ruining that magic morning moment when customers fork over $4.15 for a \"grande\" coffee with warm skim milk and vanilla extract. A barista writing \"Race Together\" on cups was called an affront to mornings and coffee -- such important conversations belonged inside a hallowed institution, not a common coffee shop, where apparently people no longer chat. A lot of the reaction came via snipes on Twitter from people calling Schultz out on Starbucks' diversity, the hue of his mochaccinos, or his liberal \"brewing\" of controversy. The nastiness drove the company's communications chief briefly off Twitter. Then, after barely a week, Starbucks shut down the whole darned thing, pushing ahead with a hiring and media initiative instead. But treating Twitter as an important voice of American conscience is like focusing on the annoying beep emitting from your smoke detector instead of addressing the fact that the battery's run dry. What's trending is not necessarily what matters. People do need to talk about race. Not because of a harmless coffee cup, but because we have a real race problem and we need solutions.

There were plenty of conversations about race among the thousands of black and white college students and panelists like rapper Chuck D and Cedric Alexander of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. They lined up to talk about how their experiences mirrored those of the people in the documentaries: black families finding common roots with whites, the politics of skin color, or the black-and-blue conflict over the police engaging in racial profiling. The topics and perceptions were an unending thread. Not only did people talk when they were offered the chance; they wanted to talk. At Stony Brook University, one of our tour stops, a young white male student asked our panel if effecting change in racial discrimination today was even harder to achieve than it was during the Civil Rights era when racism was more overt.

The 2-0 win at tiny Eibar, a side playing in La Liga for the first time and which has now lost eight games in a row, may not seem like an unexpected achievement. But, with a European Champions League last-16 decider at home to Manchester City on Wednesday and then the \"El Clasico\" crunch clash with bitter rival Real Madrid next Sunday, every win is vital at this stage of the campaign. \"We're going into the Clasico as leaders and in perfect form,\" Barca coach Luis Enrique said. \"But first we have to focus on City because qualification is at stake. Then we'll see what happens at the weekend.\" Messi has now scored 43 goals this season, first netting a 31st-minute penalty after Borja Ekiza unluckily handled the Argentine's blocked shot and then bulleting in a header from Ivan Rakitic's corner 10 minutes after the restart. \"Eibar didn't look like a team that has just lost seven in a row,\" said Enrique, who welcomed back Brazil star Neymar from suspension to resume his role up front with Messi and Luis Suarez. \"They played good football and they fully deserved their great start to the season. I don't think they'll have any trouble avoiding relegation.\" The result puts even more pressure on second-placed Real Madrid to win Sunday's home clash with Levante. The European champion's coach Carlo Ancelotti has been criticized after a poor run of results since the turn of the year, while world-record signing Gareth Bale has particularly been vilified by national sports paper Marca following Tuesday's home defeat by Schalke. Real can take some small consolation in the fact that city rival Atletico Madrid could only draw 0-0 at Espanyol, meaning the defending champion stayed fourth in the table following Valencia's 2-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna on Friday.

+{"article": "(CNN)The reputed leader of one of Mexico's most ruthless cartels walked with his head bowed Wednesday as federal forces escorted him into an armored vehicle in the country's capital. Authorities closed in on Zetas boss Omar Trevino Morales in predawn darkness, capturing him in an operation without firing a single shot, said Monte Alejandro Rubido, head of Mexico's national security council. There are 11 pending criminal cases against him, and the crimes Trevino is accused of committing make him \"one of the most dangerous and bloodthirsty criminals in Mexico,\" said Tomas Zeron, director of criminal investigations for the Attorney General's Office. Speaking later in the day to reporters at Mexico City's airport, Zeron said the drug kingpin's legal situation would be assessed after he makes a statement to investigators. U.S. officials have requested his extradition, Zeron said. Known as \"Z-42,\" Trevino was arrested at about 3 a.m. in San Pedro Garza Garcia, a suburb of the industrial hub of Monterrey. In a simultaneous operation, five others were arrested, including the cartel's suspected financial operator, Rubido said. For the Mexican government, Trevino's arrest marks the second high-level capture of a purported drug boss in a week. Servando Gomez, leader of the Knights Templar drug cartel, was captured Friday in the state of Michoacan. The capture of the cartel leaders is a victory for President Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto, though the Zetas and Knights Templar are not as powerful as they once were. Still, reports of violence, corruption and extortion continue to flow from the areas of northern Mexico where the Zetas operate. The U.S. State Department was offering a reward of $5 million for information leading to the arrest of Trevino Morales. The Mexican government offered an additional $2 million. Trevino Morales is believed to have been at the helm of the Zetas since 2013, inheriting the post from his brother, Miguel Angel Trevino Morales. Miguel Angel, or \"Z-40,\" was known as a ruthless drug lord with a reputation for burning his enemies alive and ordering mass killings. His arrest in July 2013 was praised as a turning point. But while certain cartels have been weakened after their leaders are captured, critics are quick to point out that the criminal organizations survive, and new leaders rise. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration praised Mexico's government for arresting Trevino, saying he facilitated and oversaw \"huge drug shipments into the United States and elsewhere.\" He faces federal drug trafficking conspiracy and money laundering charges in several jurisdictions, including Washington, D.C. and south Texas. \"The Zetas represent the worst in global organized crime: violence, intimidation, corruption, and brutal killings,\" DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart said in a statement. \"Today's arrest strikes at the heart of the leadership structure of the Zetas and should serve as yet another warning that no criminal is immune from arrest and prosecution.\" CNN's Joshua Gaynor contributed to this report.", "summary": "Mexican authorities say no shots were fired when they captured the alleged head of the Zetas .

Another features his formidable opponent counting stacks of money, hanging out in strip clubs, and flashing diamond watches and Ferraris. Welcome to the world of boxing promotion, circa 2015. American Floyd Mayweather and Filipino Manny Pacquiao are set to officially announce their heavily anticipated boxing match at a press conference in Los Angeles Wednesday. With the combined purse for the May 2 bout in Las Vegas reported to touch $300 million pending viewership numbers, the incentives to self-promote could not be higher. \"Nowadays you have to be on social media to launch the fight and to build hype,\" says boxing promoter Nisse Sauerland, CEO of Team Sauerland. \"It couldn't be done without it.\" Thirty-eight year old Mayweather (47-0, 26 knockouts), who favors the moniker \"The Money Man\" or \"TBE\" (The Best Ever), boasts nearly five million Instagram followers, 5.65 million followers on Twitter and 9.2 million Facebook likes. He famously confirmed the fight via Shots, a photo sharing social media application that he's invested in, and displays links to his clothing brand, The Money Team, on all his accounts. Along with professing to the be the best fighter of all time, he could also stake a claim to be one of the greatest social media users in sports. \"I think they're both playing their roles,\" says Sauerland, who promotes over 45 boxers. \"You've got the bad guy and the good guy, really. You've got the guy who throws the money around (Mayweather), that's his image, and Pacquiao, he's the hope of a nation.\" Although Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 knockouts) also sports millions of followers, his social media numbers lag behind that of his opponent. The 36-year-old Filipino counts 1.7 million followers on Twitter and just 647,000 on Instagram, although his popularity on Facebook is much closer, with 6.3 million page likes. Has this disparity had an impact on Pacquiao's share of the fight's heady purse, which is reported to be split 60/40 in favor of Mayweather? \"If you have five million Twitter followers it does give you power in negotiation, because it reflects popularity, \" says Sauerland. \"But Mayweather needs Pacquiao too; you need a storyline to make a good fight ... (Pacquiao) is the route to make it the biggest purse in history.\" The disparity is probably due to Pacquiao's less flashy posts. Without exception, they show him in training, in church, or with family -- always with a nod to Jesus in the text -- as well as his nationality, says sports media consultant Daniel McLaren and Cast Digital chief executive officer. \"Manny is a little bit more of a private person; he's not going to be as outspoken and give away as much, so he's always going to have a smaller following,\" he says, while noting that Instagram is less popular outside of North America and Europe. Pacquiao's followers in his home country are more likely to track his moves on Facebook and Twitter, adds McLaren.

Nouah took his friend's suggestion and started auditioning for TV shows. He quickly landed a role in a successful soap opera, and soon after he made his debut in Nollywood, Nigeria's mighty movie making machine. Today, Nouah is one of the industry's most popular names, having starred in dozens of films and won several accolades. His latest movie -- \"Thy Will Be Done,\" by director Obi Emelonye -- became last month the first Nollywood film to premiere at London's BFI IMAX, Britain's biggest cinema screen. CNN's African Voices caught up with Nouah to talk about Nigeria's film industry and present him with the questions you sent via the #AskRamsey and #CNNAfrica hashtags. CNN: How have you seen Nollywood change and grow over the years? Ramsey Nouah: There have been several phases in Nollywood, like in everything in life. We started off Nollywood almost like making bread out of stone; there was nothing, no investment, no structure, nothing on the ground to actually help the industry but we've brought it this far and we are very happy. CNN: How do you see the political situation in Nigeria and what do you think about the recent security tensions? RN: I find it quite dicey, it's a case of uncertainty, not knowing what is going to happen ...however I'm actually endorsing the present government because he [president Goodluck Jonathan] has contributed immensely to the growth of our industry -- call me selfish call me what but I've been in this industry for 25 years, no government ever spoke about my industry like this one. He gave us audience, he listened to us, he gave several grants to help the industry, he sent so many of the practitioners outside to big film schools ... he's giving money for distribution -- so for all these reasons. There was a point where there was a nosedive, when it was hitting the rocks because it was predominantly dependent on DVDs, and the quality of the production was poor. It was successful up to a point until piracy came in and intellectual properties weren't protected and practitioners weren't getting their worth. But now there is the cinema, which is growing drastically in Nigeria and that has really helped bring back Nollywood. So I would say right now it's getting better ... because cinema culture is beginning to come -- if you're going to shoot a cinema movie then you've got to be thinking about the quality of the production and of the story.

The report said that Han, 30, was approached by a person claiming to be a journalist via the instant messaging app WeChat. The \"reporter\" assigned Han to work in a military base, taking photos of \"sensitive areas\" of a major military project with his phone in the name of news gathering. Last summer, he traveled to Beijing and Liaoning, in China's northeast, to take photos, including images of exhibits at a national defense technology promotion show. He later passed recordings and photos to his \"employer,\" the report said. \"Although the enemies' tricks are cunning, they are totally preventable,\" the paper said.

+{"article": "(CNN)As the world awaits a possible nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran, let us not forget: This is the second time in two years that President Barack Obama has pursued a nonproliferation deal with an unreformed regime in the Middle East. In doing so, he has ignored the regimes' fundamental nature and the catastrophic costs these efforts have inflicted upon regional stability and U.S. national security. This month brought familiar news: more chemical weapons attacks allegedly by dictator Bashar al-Assad against his fellow Syrians. Just in June, the administration declared the success of its deal to remove al-Assad's chemical weapons, which had been prompted by his August 2013 sarin attacks on Syrian civilians and the threat of U.S. airstrikes in response. The deal did yield an important victory -- the removal and destruction of more than 1,200 metric tons of al-Assad's chemical weapons arsenal, which he can no longer use to threaten Syrians and Israel or fall into terrorist hands. However, with his actions as evidence, it was a deal that al-Assad likely knew he could manipulate. Even while the deal was underway, al-Assad continued to attack Syrian civilians and the opposition with weaponized chlorine bombs, exploiting a loophole in the agreement. The deal was also fundamentally flawed in that it relied upon al-Assad to declare his stockpile voluntarily without sufficient third-party verification. Just weeks after claiming success, the administration quietly acknowledged that al-Assad had secretly retained some of his most lethal chemical weapons. Al-Assad has also failed to destroy some of his chemical weapons facilities, as the agreement required. The deal made al-Assad a partner of sorts to the administration despite the grisly, mass atrocities he continued to commit. During implementation, the administration limited its support to the moderate opposition and did little else to pressure the regime to restrain its attacks on civilians or to allow a political transition. About 50,000 more Syrians were killed in the conflict during these months -- mostly at the hands of the regime -- and the displacement of millions of Syrians throughout the region continued. Meanwhile, ISIS further exploited the civil war, expanding into security voids. There are several troubling parallels between the administration's deal with al-Assad and the one it is now pursuing with Tehran. Both represent deep cynicism or a fundamentally na\u00efve understanding of the regimes with which we are negotiating. In both cases, the administration has tried to reach common ground with the world's foremost sponsors of terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas and al Qaeda -- which these regimes have funded, trained or sheltered. All of this was true before the administration started these negotiations, and it remains true today.

+{"article": "(CNN)Organized labor is up in arms about President Barack Obama's effort to obtain fast-track authority to finalize a free trade agreement in the Asia Pacific that involves 11 nations. The agreement, union leaders argue, threatens to take even more jobs away from Americans. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka sent a clear message to members of Congress, warning, \"There is such a dramatic impact on the standard of living and lowering of wages and a loss of jobs -- this will have a major impact, and then we will not forget this vote for a long time.\" The AFL-CIO announced that it would withhold donations to political action committees until this controversy cleared up. The tension between organized labor and Obama is not new. The struggles have been going on since 2009 when the President allowed the Employee Free Choice Act to wither in Congress. The act would require that a union be deemed as legitimate when it had the support of a majority of employees and imposed tough penalties on employers who tried to punish workers from forming unions. The President avoided making any strong appeals for the bill, though it was greatly desired by labor organizations as a way to increase membership. When Democrats chose Charlotte, North Carolina, for their 2012 political convention -- a city not friendly to labor -- unions were livid. \"There is broad frustration with the party and all elected officials,\" one labor leader said, \"broad frustration with the lack of a union agenda.\" Even though unions were crucial to administration victories such as the Affordable Care Act, President Obama has often been extremely tepid when it comes to the rights of unions. Organized labor has not been that surprised. The truth is that unions have been on the defense against Democratic presidents for decades. In the 1970s, President Jimmy Carter treated unions like one more special interest in Washington that needed to be brought down while President Bill Clinton demonstrated lukewarm support to these organizations as he aggressively pursued global free trade policies that labor opposed. \"It will cost jobs,\" warned Michigan Democrat David Bonior said of the North American Free Trade Agreement that Clinton endorsed. \"It will drive down our standard of living. If we don't stand up for the working people in this country, who is going to?\" In the past few decades, many Democratic politicians no longer believed that organized labor was a major player within their party, as they had been during the creation of the New Deal and Great Society. As organized labor became a smaller part of the American workforce, Democratic politicians were not as determined to court their vote. A larger number of Democrats since the 1970s have been elected by upper middle class suburban constituencies in which unions are not a big presence. These voters have been more concerned in a style of liberalism that revolves around quality of life issues, such as environmental regulation, than they are with middle class jobs. Many Democrats leaders embraced a vision of economic policy that centered on deregulation and free markets.

+{"article": "Beijing (CNN)In China, you can often tell what the Communist Party is thinking by watching TV. For years, the typical on-screen Chinese family looked something like this: Glowing parents doting over one precious child. The taglines drummed it home: \"One hope.\" \"One joy.\" \"One responsibility.\" Lately, the perfect television family has changed. In a recent commercial, a boy begrudgingly shares a toy with his younger sister, then they all gather together with a large brood to watch the televised Lunar New Year Gala. The message appears to be: Two is better than one. The change is extraordinary. Since the early 1980s, the Party has enforced a draconian one-child policy on most Chinese to curb population growth. When the propaganda didn't work, local officials have resorted to abortions, heavy fines, and forced sterilization. It's perhaps the most hated policy in China. Now, under relaxed restrictions announced just over a year ago, couples like Yang Xue and Chang Zi'an, both professionals working in Beijing, are eligible for a second child to join their baby girl -- 11-month-old Tao Zi, or Little Peach. Chang was an only child but sometimes wished for a sibling while growing up. \"Once my cousin visited and we shared a bed for several nights,\" says Chang, now an engineer. \"I enjoyed that feeling. I wished I had a brother who could share a bed with me every night.\" Chang and his young family live in Tongzhou, on the eastern outskirts of Beijing, where high rise apartments compete with mega malls. Some call the area \"Tong-afornia,\" because its sprawl of young professionals is a bit like parts of the Golden State. They are ideal candidates, it would seem, to have a second child. The Party is in a race against the clock. China faces a rapidly aging population and shrinking workforce. The government says the country could become home to the most elderly population on the planet in just 15 years, with more than 400 million over the age of 60. Researchers say healthcare and social services will all be burdened by the greying population, and the world's second largest economy will struggle to maintain its growth. \"China has already begun to feel an unfolding crisis in terms of its population change,\" says Wang Feng, a professor at Fudan University and a leading demographic expert on China. \"History will look back to see the one-child policy as one of the most glaring policy mistakes that China has made in its modern history.\" Perhaps surprisingly, Wang says that the one-child policy was both ineffective and unnecessary, since China's fertility rates were already slowing by the 1980s. The Chinese government still maintains that it was necessary to keep numbers down. But with around 150 million one-child families and a shrinking population, the Chinese government is moving cautiously, rather than doing away with the policy altogether. In January 2014, China said it would allow couples to have a second baby if the mother or father was an only child themselves. But, to the surprise of many, the new rules haven't yet sparked a baby", "summary": "China's controversial one-child policy was recently relaxed .

While the American lost to Andy Murray in Scotland, putting Great Britain into the quarterfinals of the prestigious teams event, halfway across the world an absorbing battle was playing out between two of South America's most bitter rivals. In the end it didn't come close to matching Isner's 11-hour marathon against Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon in 2010, but the fourth rubber in the clash between Argentina and Brazil made its own piece of history. For six hour and 43 minutes, Leonardo Mayer and Joao Souza contested the second-longest singles match in tennis history -- and third longest of any format after a seven-hour doubles clash between Switzerland and the Czech Republic in 2013. Mayer eventually triumphed, after his 11th match point, winning 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 5-7 15-13 in front of a delirious home crowd in Buenos Aires to send the tie to a deciding rubber. It set the scene for Federico Delbonis to take on Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci in the decider -- with the winner to earn a clash with Novak Djokovic's Serbia, a 5-0 victor over Balkan rival Croatia. Delbonis had won the first set 6-3 when play was halted for the day due to bad light. The match will resume on Monday. Meanwhile, back in Glasgow, the British team celebrated after earning a home quarterfinal clash with France on July 17-19, the weekend after the completion of Wimbledon. \"It was an incredible experience,\" said world No. 5 Murray, who beat Isner 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 7-6 (7-4) in two and a half hours to give his team a 3-1 lead and ensure a repeat of the result of last year's first-round clash between the two nations. \"Playing in front of a home crowd is a bit more pressured, especially today, but I managed to fight my way through the first set and played really well after that.\" It was the second defeat of the tie for the big-serving Isner, who lost a five-hour five-setter against James Ward on Friday. The Swiss, without leading players Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka, crashed out at the first hurdle with a 3-2 defeat in Belgium. Canada makes their way into the quarterfinals for the second time in three years after beating Japan 3-2. Vasek Pospisil led the tie-break victory by defeating Go Soeda in straight sets on Sunday.

If found guilty, she could face up to 10 years in prison. On her Facebook page, Yingluck said she behaved with integrity and honesty during her time as prime minister. \"I pledge that I have followed correct proceedings of the constitution, laws of the country in every way.\" The rice subsidy program, introduced in 2011, pledged to pay farmers well above the market rate for their crop. But critics said it wasted large amounts of public funds trying to please rural voters, hurting exports and leaving the government with large stockpiles of rice it couldn't sell without losing money. Anger over the scheme played a role in the protests that led to the downfall of Yingluck's government and a military coup in May last year. In January, Thailand's military-appointed National Legislative Assembly (NLA) voted in favor of impeaching Yingluck for her role in the rice program.

The resolution said \"the American flag is commonly flown in government public service locations, military related entities, at homes, in foreign lands where the US government has a presence,\" and its \"symbolism has negative and positive aspects that are interpreted differently by individuals.\" Its passage drew widespread opposition from the campus community and beyond for being offensive and unpatriotic. \"As a military veteran, American citizen and taxpayer, I find this piece of 'legislation' highly offensive,\" a commenter said on the ASUCI 's Facebook student page, in one of the more mildly worded complaints. \"This is a public school, supported by taxpayers, (yes, I know, most of you pay tuition, as well, but that does not cover the entire cost), and it is appropriate to display the United States Flag on campus. Please reconsider your actions and rescind this resolution.\" Current students also registered their dissatisfaction with the resolution, saying the resolution does not represent the student body as a whole. \"As much as I hope that their decision gets vetoed and that the administration will take some accountability for allowing such a controversial issue to be voted on in the first place, I also hope that people will stop generalizing us and saying that they will refuse to hire UCI students or that the generous donations of our alumni will fall, or even worse that we are not proud Americans.

There's no chair in sight. His feet are 2 to 3 feet off the ground. His hands are not bound. Is this a suicide? Or is it a lynching -- a shadow from the South's history of racial violence re-emerging? Those were the big questions Friday, one day after authorities found a man's body with bedsheets around his neck in Port Gibson, a small town of just over 1,500 people in rural Claiborne County, about 60 miles southwest of Jackson, the state capital. Evidence collected so far doesn't suggest foul play in the death, law enforcement officials said. For that reason, suicide is the early theory as the likely manner of death, the officials said. Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas on Friday identified the man as Otis Byrd. Even though authorities have confirmed his name, they still have a lot of work ahead to figure out how Byrd died and who is responsible. \"It could take a week, it could take two weeks, it could take months,\" Lucas said. Authorities expect to receive a preliminary report next week on what caused Byrd's death, Donald Alway, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Jackson, said Friday afternoon at a press conference. He said 30 agents from the FBI, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and other agencies are looking for friends and family of the victim \"that might help paint a picture on the cause of death of Mr. Byrd.\" Agents have finished searching the area where the body was found and are looking at a \"storage location\" Byrd owned that might yield information, Alway said. Alway said the FBI is communicating with the family and won't comment on rumors circulating about the death. \"The community deserves answers,\" he said. \"The family deserves answers.\" The body was found at 10:21 a.m. Thursday, deep in a forest about 500 yards from the house Byrd was renting, according to Lucas. A skullcap had been pulled over his head, the sheriff said. That house was the last place where Byrd had been seen on March 2, according to the sheriff. He was reported missing a week later, spurring a search. The body was found by staffers from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks who were taking part in the search, Lucas said. Thursday was the first time authorities looked specifically in the wooded area where the body was found, according to the sheriff. A family member who did not want to be identified said Byrd was not acting out of the ordinary in the days before he went missing.

The twin-engined A320 entered service in 1988, some two decades after its single-aisle rival, Boeing's 737. As of March 2015, there have been a total of 11,537 orders for the A320, with 6,452 deliveries to date and slightly fewer aircraft flying globally by more than 300 operators. Airbus says the entire fleet has accumulated 150 million flight hours in more than 85 million flights. The A320 family ranges from the smaller A318 (about 100 seats), to the upgraded A321 (about 185 to 220 passengers depending on the class configuration). The short to medium-range A320 is the most popular version with a range of about 3,300 nautical miles or 6,150 kilometers. It has a wingspan of 35.8 meters (with wing fins called sharklets), a length of 37.57 meters and a maximum payload of 16.6 tonnes, according to Airbus. The aircraft -- Flight 9525 -- involved in Tuesday's crash was operated by Germanwings, a subsidiary of German flag carrier Lufthansa. Airbus said the 150-seat aircraft, which had been flying between Barcelona, Spain and Dusseldorf, Germany, was 24 years old, having been delivered to Lufthansa from its production line in 1991. It said the A320 had accumulated approximately 58,300 flight hours in 46,700 flights. It was powered by CFM 56-5A1 turbofan engines, the latest versions of which are capable of delivering up to 33,000 pounds of thrust. The aircraft manufacturer said it was sending a \"go-team of technical advisers\" to assist French authorities at the scene of the crash. Germanwings' fleet includes 15 active A320s, according to another database, planespotters.net. The A320-200 can seat up to 180 passengers in a single-class configuration. The Germanwings plane was carrying 150 people, including six crew members. According to information from the Aviation Safety Network accident database, there have been 55 incidents involving the A320, not including Tuesday's crash. In December 2014, an Airbus A320 operated by AirAsia Indonesia crashed into the Java Sea en route from Surabaya, Indonesia to Singapore. All 162 people on board Flight QZ8501 were killed. \"The A320 has a fantastic safety record,\" said Phil Seymour, the president of the International Bureau of Aviation. \"There have been a couple of incidents, but generally speaking, they're safer than most aircraft out there now.\" Seymour adds that at 24 years old, the aircraft involved in the crash was probably nearing the final years of its working life, but that would not affect safety. \"Airlines would usually consider retiring an aircraft at the 25-30 years point because maintenance costs increase beyond that. \"These things fly day-in and day-out and are designed to go on and on.

+{"article": "Jerusalem (CNN)After a bitter campaign, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is claiming victory as his main rival Isaac Herzog concedes. Many questions linger about exactly what this means for U.S.-Israeli relations and Israel's standing in the Middle East. CNN global affairs correspondent Elise Labott has been covering the Israel election in depth and took to Facebook to answer your questions about the election. Here are five highlights from the chat: . 1) How did the race go from exit polls saying it was a neck-and-neck race to Netanyahu claiming victory within a matter of hours? I know, right? It's a great mystery as to how the exit polls got it so wrong. There's one pollster here in Israel named Avi Degani who predicted that Netanyahu would win all along. He said that the polls here in Israel rely too heavily on modern methodology and aren't really suitable for people outside city centers like Tel Aviv. There's also the question of whether Netanyahu gained more seats because of the 11th-hour push to the right. Part of the explanation is that he cannibalized votes from the other right-wing parties. Also worth noting that Israeli elections always have surprises. In the last election, no one predicted the amazing turnout for Yair Lapid, whose Yesh Atid party won 19 seats. This time, he only won around 11. Why were the election polls so wrong? 2) What does Netanyahu have planned for his next term? That's the $6 million question. The Obama administration was waiting for the election to be over to see who they would be dealing with. They knew even if Prime Minister Netanyahu won re-election, they would need to re-engage with him. I think both sides realize that the U.S.-Israeli relationship is too important to continue as it has been. But I think the tone Prime Minister Netanyahu sets now will dictate how the White House deals with him. Opinion: Will Netanyahu win seal Iran deal? 3) What is Netanyahu's plan regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? In the final days before the election, Prime Minister Netanyahu made a big push to energize his right-wing base. He promised that there would not be a Palestinian state under his watch, backtracking from a commitment he made in 2009 for a two-state solution. Now the right wing that helped keep him in office is going to be looking for him to deliver on his campaign pledge. It's not encouraging. Now that he has a new mandate, perhaps he will feel more confident to explore possibilities with Palestinians. However the unilateral moves Palestinians have taken since the collapse of peace talks last summer doesn't give him much encouragement either. 4) Was Netanyahu's statement about not recognizing a Palestinian state a political move to get votes, or a true ideal he wants to hold up? It's a great question that nobody knows the answer to just yet. Even the Netanyahu camp would admit that they made a conscious effort to reach out to right-wing voters, many of whom do not want to see a Palestinian state.

+{"article": "Hong Kong (CNN)China says its military budget will increase by 10.1% in 2015, the latest in a series of double-digit increases that will narrow the still-significant gap with the United States on defense spending. According to a budget report released at the start of China's National People's Congress - the annual meeting of the country's rubber stamp parliament -- defense spending will total 887 billion yuan ($144.2 billion) this year. \"Building a solid national defense and strong armed forces is fundamental to safeguarding China's sovereignty,\" Premier Li Keqiang told thousands of delegates gathered in the cavernous Great Hall of the People in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. The increase underscores China's intention to prioritize military spending even as economic growth slows. It also comes amid unease among China's neighbors about the pursuit of its territorial claims in the South China Sea and East China Sea. Traditionally, the People's Liberation Army army has been focused on protecting its own borders, but recent missions have seen it join U.N. peacekeeping efforts in places like South Sudan, and fighting piracy in Somalia. Analysts say that China's spending on defense is notoriously opaque and the budget includes paramilitary forces such as the People's Armed Police as well as the People's Liberation Army, Navy and Air Force. Paul Burton, Asia Pacific director at IHS Aerospace, Defence & Security, estimates that actual spending is 35% higher than the announced budget. \"China's expanding strategic reach and extensive modernization requirements will continue to require significant investment over the next decade,\" Burton said. China's defense budget is still dwarfed by what the U.S. spends on its military -- $598 billion, according to 2014 figures provided by IHS. But, while China's budget has increased by double digits every year since 2010, U.S. spending has declined since then. China's defense budget grew by 12.7% in 2011, 11.2% in 2012, and 10.7% in 2013, according to China's state news agency Xinhua. Alexander Neill, a senior fellow at the International Institute of Strategic Studies in Singapore says China is likely to prioritize spending on its naval power -- its force has traditionally been focused on winning land battles. \"A growing chunk of budget is going toward China's navy, particularly its submarine force and its seaborne nuclear deterrent,\" he said. China's first aircraft carrier went into service in 2012 and a second is thought to be under construction. Neill also said that the PLA is likely to make its pay more competitive to attract higher quality recruits, such as college graduates. A U.S. congressional report released last month said that many are still drawn from rural areas with limited education. It added that the country's one-child policy, which has created the \"little emperor\" phenomenon of spoiled children, produces recruits who \"may not be tough enough to withstand military discipline,\" the report added. \"Serving in the military, in a Chinese cultural sense, is not a sought-after professional career,\" Neill said. \"If the PLA can offer competitive salaries, they may be able to attract a new stratum of specialist talent.\" CNN's Jason Kwok designed the graphics in this report.", "summary": "China says its military spending will increase by 10.1% in 2015 .

+{"article": "Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN)Police have arrested more than 500 parents in and around the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar for not allowing their children to get the polio vaccine, an official said Tuesday. Peshawar Deputy Commissioner Riaz Khan Mehsud told CNN that the 513 arrests took place Monday and Tuesday as part of a government campaign to administer polio vaccines in parts of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Those arrested will be released on bail if they sign an affidavit stating that they will let their children get vaccinated, according to the deputy commissioner. Pakistan's vaccination rate is inordinately low for a number of reasons, including attacks on medical workers, the displacement of people due to ongoing military operations and a lack of trust by some families. Whatever the reason, the fact that a large number of children are not immunized is having an impact. Such vaccines are credited with wiping out polio in most parts of the world. But Pakistan is an exception, according to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, a public-private partnership that includes the World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The South Asian nation leads all others in new polio cases in recent years, and has nine of this year's 10 reported cases. In 2014, Pakistan had 327 cases. The next closest country was Nigeria, with 36 cases. Authorities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province hope to ensure that 2.7 million children there get vaccine drops. They've learned about more than 13,000 cases in which parents have not done so since a provincial campaign began two weeks ago, Mehsud said. Dr. Bilal Ahmad, a UNICEF team leader based in Pakistan, called authorities' unprecedented move a last-ditch effort to clear polio from \"cluster\" zones where large numbers of families have refused to get their children vaccinated. \"First the workers (try to) convince them, then their supervisors, then senior members of the community,\" Ahmad said. \"(This government action) is the final step in eradicating this issue.\" Polio is a highly infectious viral disease that primarily affects young children, sometimes leading to paralysis and death. The virus is easily preventable through immunization, but there's no cure once it is contracted. It went from being a health issue to a security issue after U.S. intelligence officials used a vaccination program to help in their hunt for Osama bin Laden in 2011. Under cover of the program, the CIA sought to collect DNA samples from relatives of the al Qaeda leader to verify his presence in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. CIA policy: Won't use vaccination programs as part of operations . Those administering the vaccines have become targets, with the National Emergency Operations Center reporting that more than 70 medical workers have been killed in attacks since December 2012. And in June 2012, Pakistani Taliban commander Hafiz Gul Bahadur announced that polio vaccines would be banned in another Pakistani province -- North Waziristan -- because of drone strikes there. Bahadur called the strikes \"worse than polio.\" CNN's Sophia Saifi reported from Islamabad, and CNN's Greg Botelho wrote this report from Atlanta.", "summary": "Official: Parents who sign affidavit vowing to vaccinate their children will be released .

The 35-year-old suspect, who was described as an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh, died from severe injuries before officers could rescue him, said L.L. Doungal, a police official in the remote Nagaland state, where the attack occurred Thursday evening. \"There were thousands of them. Many of them were students in uniform,\" Doungal said, referring to the mobs involved in the incident. The suspect was accused of raping a local woman last month. Since the attack, tensions have grown between the native Nagas and Bangladeshi migrants in the district, police said. Thousands of protesters demanding cancellation of trade permits for Bengali-speaking settlers tore into the prison complex Thursday and pulled out the suspect, Doungal said. Police initially used teargas and bamboo canes to rescue the man, but it didn't work, he said. \"There were students in uniform. So, we had to use minimum force,\" Doungal added. Later, police opened fire, but it was too late to save the suspect. Protesters had planned a public hanging, but the suspect died from injuries in the attack, according to authorities. \"We retrieved his body before it could be hung,\" Doungal said.

+{"article": "(CNN)\"Hey dude -- can you turn your music down?\" If anyone says this to you while you're wearing your earbuds, take note: You are probably endangering your hearing. More than one billion teens and young adults are at risk of losing their hearing, according to WHO (that's the World Health Organization, not the rock band). It's not just old folks who suffer hearing loss. Just by listening to music at what you probably think is a normal level, or hanging out in loud bars, nightclubs and music and sporting events, you can permanently damage your hearing. By analyzing listening habits of 12- to 35-year-olds in wealthier countries around the world, WHO found nearly 50% of those studied listen to unsafe sound levels on personal audio devices and about 40% are exposed to damaging levels of music and noise at entertainment venues. It doesn't take much time to damage your hearing at a sports bar or nightclub. According to the WHO, \"exposure to noise levels of 100 dB, which is typical in such venues, is safe for no more than 15 minutes.\" Once you lose your hearing, it won't come back. Rapper Plan B and Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin know that all too well. They both suffer from tinnitus, hearing loss that causes a permanent and irritating ringing in the ears, because they didn't protect their hearing. Now they've joined forces with a British hearing loss association to warn others. \"I suffer from tinnitus,\" says Plan B on actionhearingloss.org. \"When I first developed it, I thought it was trains rushing by my house as I live near a railway line. It was really loud and an extremely high pitched ringing in my ears. I now have to wear special earplugs when I go to bed to help stop my ears from ringing.\" \"Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don't think about until there's a problem,\" says Martin. \"I've had tinnitus for about 10 years, and since I started protecting my ears, it hasn't got any worse (touch wood). But I wish I'd thought about it earlier.\" When it comes to personal listening devices, the level of damage you can cause to your ears is directly correlated to how long you listen and how loud the sound. \"Unsafe levels of sounds can be, for example, exposure to in excess of 85dB for eight hours or 100dB for 15 minutes,\" says WHO. Eighty-five decibels isn't all that loud. According to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, it's about the level of city traffic that you'd heard from inside your car. Some 360 million of us have already suffered moderate to severe hearing loss, according to the UN Health Agency Worldwide. While that number does include factors out of our control, such as aging, genetics, birth defects, infections and disease, about half of all cases were avoidable. That's why WHO has launched the Make Listening Safe initiative. Part of the campaign is to encourage manufacturers to create audio safety features on devices and then educate consumers on how to use them.

+{"article": "(CNN)A Louisiana judge ruled Monday that Robert Durst, the millionaire real estate heir charged with first-degree murder, will be held without bail. That's no big surprise. In 2001 -- the last time he was accused of murder and released on bail -- Durst fled to Pennsylvania, where authorities caught him after he tried to shoplift a sandwich from a supermarket. As the attorneys sparred in court and witnesses testified Monday, they revealed new details about the investigation that led to Durst's March 14 arrest, and set the stage for what will surely be a fierce legal battle. After the hearing, Durst's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, spoke with CNN's Jean Casarez. Here are some key details from Monday's hearing and the interview: . Durst, who appeared in court wearing an orange prison uniform and shackles, was arrested after federal agents tracked his cell phone, according to information presented in court Monday. Investigators knew he'd left his Houston condo with five suitcases on March 10. And, since a warrant allowed them to track his cell phone, they saw when it pinged a tower 85 miles east, in Beaumont, Texas. But suddenly, he had stopped using it. Investigators thought the trail had gone cold. \"They had no indication of his movement,\" said Jim O'Hearn, an investigator for the Orleans Parish district attorney's office. But then, authorities tracked him to New Orleans after he called his voice mail twice from a Marriott there, O'Hearn testified. That's where FBI agents found and arrested him. Last week, court documents revealed Durst had a loaded .38-caliber revolver, 5 ounces of marijuana, his passport and birth certificate, a neck-to-head latex mask with salt-and-pepper hair attached and more than $40,000 cash, mostly in $100 bills. Among his possessions, he also had a UPS tracking number. The package was later intercepted by the FBI, prosecutors said in court Monday. It contained clothing and more than $100,000 in cash. It's a case Durst even has made himself. In \"The Jinx,\" the HBO documentary that featured him, Durst said: \"You can't give someone charged with murder bail because they're going to run away, of course. Goodbye, $250,000. Goodbye, jail. I'm out.\" In a seconds-long news conference after the hearing Monday, Durst attorney DeGuerin said he had no hope for bail and the judge's decision was not surprising. The legal team, however, did obtain \"a lot of information,\" he said, and a preliminary hearing was set for April 2. \"All in all, I think this has been a very good day for us,\" he said on the courthouse steps. He walked off without elaborating. DeGuerin cast doubt Monday on the validity of the Los Angeles arrest warrant that led to Durst's detention, and argued that items found in the hotel room search shouldn't be admissible because detectives may not have had a search warrant at the time. He also said a detective and prosecutor interrogated Durst for three hours without his attorney present.

The agents, along with other employees vital to national security such as TSA screeners, will have to show up to work without being paid if Congress misses a Friday deadline to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded. Thousands of other agency workers will be furloughed. The employees are caught up in a fight over immigration policy. Republicans want to tie funding for the department to legislation that would roll back President Barack Obama's immigration executive orders -- a nonstarter for Democrats. The battle reached a fevered pitch last week when Congress narrowly missed a deadline to avoid a partial DHS shutdown, giving themselves an extension until March 6 to broker a deal. Speaker John Boehner could try to avert another showdown by holding a vote as early as Tuesday on a DHS bill that doesn't touch Obama's immigration order. But the political intrigue isn't registering for some residents here. Angelea Remorin, a nurse who works nights at a hospital, said she wasn't concerned yet because she hadn't read or heard anything about the potential shutdown. \"Me, personally, I peek into the news every now and then, but it's things like ISIS, you know, those big headline things, that I look at on the news,\" she said. \"None of my friends have been talking about (the shutdown), and I haven't been keeping up with it.\" At the coffee shop with De La Cruz, Ronaldo Delacruz said he'd heard of the potential shutdown but didn't feel unsafe. \"I don't know what's going to necessarily happen to the department itself,\" Delacruz said. \"I don't know how that's going to affect the protection of the border or border patrol, but I guess we're going to find out.\" Marco Solis said he was mad after hearing that Congress agreed to keep DHS running for only a few days.

+{"article": "(CNN)The terror that came to Tunisia on Wednesday -- the deadliest attack on tourists in the Arab world since the 1997 massacre in Luxor, Egypt -- was a long time coming. Tunisia has been widely seen as the only success story of the Arab Spring with a new progressive constitution, a freely elected secular President and Prime Minister, and a moderate Islamist opposition so far committed to democratic principles. But economic progress has lagged well behind. High unemployment has created frustrations among the young and a significant number have looked for answers in radical Islam. Political opening in Tunisia has given radicals more breathing room, their numbers swollen by the release hardened Islamist militants during the 2011 Tunisian revolution that swept away decades of autocratic rule. One of those who was freed from jail was Seifallah ben Hassine -- also known as Abu Iyyad -- a veteran Tunisian Jihadi who worked with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan in the 1990s and founded the Tunisian Combatant group. Soon after he was released he founded Ansar al Shariah in Tunisia, a pro-Jihadi movement which has up to 40,000 followers. The group has a similar outlook to its namesake in Libya which the United States says carried out the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, and according to Geoff Porter, a terrorism expert at North Africa Risk Consulting, there are real and fluid links between the two groups. Three days after the Beghazi attack, Ansar al Shariah in Tunisia organized a mob attack outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia which put American lives at risk. According to the U.S. government, the group has also been responsible for several other attacks, including attempted suicide bombings at Tunisian tourist destinations. In October 2013, a Tunisian suicide bomber blew himself up outside a beach hotel in Sousse, killing only himself. Another was arrested in Monastir before he could blow up his device. The two had reportedly tried to travel to Syria but had been persuaded enroute by Jihadis in Libya to bring Jihad home. In 2013 two secular Tunisian politicians were assassinated by Islamist extremists. The United States said Ansar al Shariah was implicated in the attacks. In the last two years, Tunisian security forces have increasingly cracked down on Ansar al Shariah, but the movement still has a significant following. Ben Hassine fled to Libya where he is now believed to be based. The Syrian Jihad has been the single biggest factor in the worsening security situation in Tunisia.

Once safely on the ground, Borschberg said he was \"extremely happy\" and \"looking forward to the rest of [the] adventure.\" Solar Impulse 2's visit to Oman is a short pit-stop on its marathon 35,000-kilometer, five month journey across the globe, via India, Myanmar, China and the U.S. The plane is expected to be on the ground for just eight hours before it takes off again -- this time with pilot Bertrand Piccard in charge -- bound for Ahmedabad in India. The potentially historic flight had originally been due to take off on March 1 but its departure was postponed because of concerns about the weather after strong dust storms created hazy conditions. \"We have had a lot of sandstorms in Abu Dhabi, and also a lot of wind, sea breezes, higher than the limit,\" said the team's meteorologist Luc Truellemans in an interview posted on Twitter and YouTube. By Monday morning, the skies had cleared sufficiently for takeoff, though there was a slight delay while technical checks were carried out, as pilot Andre Borschberg explained on Twitter.

Before the takeoff, Piccard admitted the pair \"had \"butterflies in the stomach\" at the thought of getting underway after working on the project for so long.

But often it takes someone as public, as gorgeous, as famous as Ms. Jolie to powerfully move the conversation about cancer prevention surgeries forward. Her transparency helps normalize the experience of women considering their own options. It chips away at the stigma surrounding this treatment decision and offers women a new shorthand for explaining such a difficult choice to their families. When I underwent each of my surgeries a few friends looked at me sideways. They weren't familiar with BRCA and or how surgery could statistically reduce my chances of developing cancer. Now Ms. Jolie has changed this. Her willingness to share such intimate experiences means more people will become educated and more BRCA survivors will feel free to speak of their scars. And there are many resources for BRCA-positive women. In June, I will be speaking at the annual FORCE conference (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered), which has partnered with another wonderful organization, the Basser Research Center for BRCA (part of the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania). Both are leading the way in the scientific research and understanding of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. They also provide resources around risk assessment, prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship, as well as links to chat rooms and local support groups. It's not often a writer finds her circumstances so closely in sync with a Hollywood star. But I like to think Ms. Jolie and I, two women who truly have nothing in common, are linked in our determination to be proactive. We have looked fear in the face and made the only decisions that made sense for our families and our selves.", "summary": "Like Angelina Jolie, Allison Gilbert had two preventive cancer surgeries to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes and later her breasts .

Meet Parisa Tabriz, the 31-year-old with perhaps the most enchanted job title in engineering -- \"Google Security Princess.\" Her job is to hack into the most popular web browser on the planet, trying to find flaws in the system before the \"black hats\" do. Indeed, much like the good and bad witches of the Wizard of Oz, hackers are described as having \"white\" or \"black\" hats. To defeat Google's attackers, Tabriz must firstly think like them. In this cyberspace battle, the data of around a billion Chrome users hangs in the balance -- and Tabriz wasn't going to settle for any old moniker. \"When I started, my official job title was 'Information Security Engineer,' which I thought was a bit boring and not really meaningful,\" said the Iranian-Polish-American, speaking a million miles an hour over the phone from Google HQ. \"So I changed it to 'Security Princess' as more of a tongue-in-cheek thing. I've never been exceptionally girly or fit the stereotype of a princess, so it was a bit ironic for me to go by that name -- and then it stuck!\" Tabriz's role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started working at Google. Back then, the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50 security engineers -- today there are over 500. \"Our users include presidents of foreign countries -- I hope Obama uses Chrome too. It includes really highly-targeted individuals, political dissidents, journalists, and people who just want to casually use the internet,\" she said. \"Google depends on those users trusting us with their data. So if we can't protect it, we have no business.\" Cybercrime has come a long way in the past decade -- from the cliched Nigerian Prince Scam to credit card theft, and suspected government surveillance over emails. Tabriz's biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Google's software, and sell the information to governments or criminals. To combat this, the company has set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying anywhere from $100 to $20,000 for reported glitches. \"What we've seen in the last couple of years is what we suspect to be governments trying to intercept communications,\" said Tabriz. \"In one case, there were Iranian-region Gmail users whose connection was being intercepted.\" \"These incidents are especially scary since they seem to be carried out by large, well-funded organizations or governments,\" she added. It's a world away from Tabriz's computer-free childhhod home in Chicago. The daughter of an Iranian-American doctor father, and Polish-American nurse mother, Tabriz had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college. Gaze across a line-up of Google security staff today and you'll find women like Tabriz are few and far between -- though in the last few years she has hired more female tech whizzes.

Pettit's parents released a statement apologizing for his behavior earlier this month. But it wasn't until Wednesday that he spoke out himself. \"Some have wondered why I haven't spoken out publicly.

For all that time, almost everything has been pretty much the same -- from the configuration of furniture in the oval to the four Norman Rockwell sketches hanging in the hallways. But this past weekend, making a visit, there was something that was brand new and entirely welcome: There among the stream of visitors touring the West Wing were many families of every color, especially African-Americans. You may not think that is so different, but it is. For as long as I have known, the West Wing has essentially been the preserve of whites, especially white men. My wife Anne and I, along with 10-year-old grandkids Gabriel Barnett and Maya Gergen, were there for a superb, two-hour tour by a young man, Clay Dumas, once a college intern working with me and now an aide to the President. (He also happens to be white.) Like most staff members over the years, Clay spoke with near reverence about his President as he pointed out many photos of Obama on the walls. What seemed so natural to him was what was what also struck me as new: Photo after photo showed people of color working and meeting their President alongside and of equal standing with whites. Of course, it didn't take a visit to the white house to know that Barack Obama has promoted diversity. Still, before seeing up close, I had not appreciated how deeply his approach has permeated day-to-day life. This White House appears to be a model of racial, ethnic and gender integration. To be sure, earlier presidents had already taken steps down this path. President Bill Clinton was the first to name a cabinet in which women and people of color outnumbered white males. President George W. Bush surprised some when he continued that tradition. But in the West Wing itself, white men continued to dominate the inner circles. President Obama's efforts to allocate power in new ways have sometimes raised hackles. That three of the most influential people around him are African-American women isn't the issue, insist critics sotto voce; rather it is whether two of them, Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice, are the right people for their jobs. Both have come under periodic barrages. But to be fair, it isn't as if there hasn't been a string of white males in the past who have been even less suited for powerful White House jobs. As I left the White House this past Saturday, I knew that I would continue to grind my teeth over many of President Obama's policies along with his leadership style. But as a white southerner inspired by the civil rights movement, I must say that I was also impressed and grateful that he has made the West Wing such a welcome home for Americans of every color and background.

Jason Holding, James Wells and Christopher Sousa were terminated after a five-month internal affairs investigation found sustained department misconduct, conduct unbecoming of a police officer and engaging in \"conduct prejudicial to the good of the order of the police department.\" A fourth officer, Alex Alvarez, resigned but authorities said Friday that he would have been fired had he not done so. In the text message exchanges, the former officers used racially derogatory terms to refer to people they encountered while on duty, included racially insensitive material from the film, \"Django Unchained,\" and talked about getting drunk and \"killing n*****,\" according to investigative documents. The men allegedly criticized co-workers, including African-Americans, making crude comments about their grammar, appearance and work ethic. One message referred to an entire shift as \"lazy f****,\" the documents state. Alvarez created a faux movie trailer with the title \"The Hoods,\" with offensive language and images of Obama, the Ku Klux Klan and African-Americans. \"There was no criminal behavior detected during this investigation, however, the four officers' conduct was inexcusable and there is zero tolerance for this kind of behavior in the Fort Lauderdale Police Department,\" Chief Franklin Adderley told reporters. \"Its attempt was to damage the image of our agency and I just hope that the people and the public realize that we're not going to tolerate it and anyone that's engaged in this behavior will be addressed immediately,\" he said. In a statement, the Fort Lauderdale Fraternal Order of Police said the officers deserve their due process, CNN affiliate WSVN reported. \"The Fraternal Order of Police is a multicultural organization which does not tolerate racism,\" the group's president, Jack Lokeinsky, said in the statement. \"Our officers take great pride in our commitment to diversity. Our dedicated officers have positive relationships with residents in every community we serve.\" The officers worked in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. \"I am very disappointed, disgusted and shocked by this incident,\" Mayor Jack Seiler said. \"The inappropriate racist behavior exhibited by those involved is unacceptable and reprehensible, it violates the trust we place in our law enforcement officers, it damages the bond we have established in our community and undermines the standards in which each and every city employee is held accountable,\" Seiler said at a news conference. Police officials were alerted of the existence of offensive material by Alvarez's ex-fiancee, who discovered it when the couple agreed to check each others' phones, according to the documents. The woman told police she thought their behavior was wrong, but feared he would hurt her if she told anyone. After the 10-month relationship ended, she went to the authorities.

+{"article": "(CNN)As the world digests the shock of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov's brutal murder in front of the Kremlin on Friday, everybody is trying to determine who was behind it. The Russian authorities were quick to throw out a number of theories, which ranged from the CIA to Ukraine, and even to Nemtsov's relationship troubles. While most people have discounted these out of hand, there are a surprising number of people who have bought into the statement, released by Vladimir Putin's spokesman, that \"Boris Nemtsov was only slightly more than an average statistical citizen\" -- implying that the Russian President would have no reason to want him dead. First of all, that is not true. Nemtsov may not have been a significant threat two years ago when oil prices were high and Russians were feeling politically apathetic -- but with oil prices down 50%, the ruble down 50%, the economy shrinking and companies firing people, a charismatic opposition politician like Nemtsov is a real and direct threat to Putin, who is terrified of experiencing a Ukraine-style revolution in Russia, especially when there is an unpredictable economic crisis brewing. Nemtsov's corruption expos\u00e9s laid out, in damning detail, the truth behind the personal wealth of Putin and his cronies; one doesn't need to be an expert to see the similarities with former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled Kiev following popular uprisings in February of last year. Nemtsov was also preparing a paper documenting the experiences of Russian soldiers in Ukraine -- one that could have dealt a catastrophic blow to the Russian propaganda machine about the Ukrainian conflict. And he was instrumental in organizing the March 1 anti-war rally in Moscow -- a protest march he would have led, had he not been gunned down just hours before. The benefit of this murder to Putin wasn't just that it eliminated one opponent of the President, but that it will terrorize an entire class of dissidents.

Putin has a history of viciously attacking the most important person in any given group of enemies, in order to send a message to the rest of them. In 2003, he did this by arresting and imprisoning the richest oligarch in the country, Mikhail Khodorkovsky. When Khodorkovsky was put on trial in 2004, Putin allowed the television cameras film the wealthiest man in the country sitting in a cage. Imagine that you were the 17th richest man in Russia, and you saw a man more successful and influential than you sitting in a courtroom cage. What would you do?

He snaps, lashing out (allegedly) at the nearest underling who could be held responsible. Within days, almost 1 million people sign a petition for him not to lose his job, while the suspension of the TV program he presents loses the BBC 4 million viewers. Why is this man so popular that he can be accused of abusing his staff (not to mention members of other ethnic groups and nationalities) and seemingly get away with it? A serial offender, Jeremy Clarkson seems to enjoy a charmed life. But, with the BBC now deliberating over his future, has his luck finally run out? Not a chance. Clarkson, like so many celebrities, sees his stock grow with every controversy. Every indiscretion seems calculated to raise his profile and boost his esteem among his fervent followers that little bit further. The \"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe\" incident, which saw the N-word slip out -- whoops, did I really hear what I think I heard? -- was designed to achieve just the right effect: offensive enough to generate howls of protest, but trivial enough for his fans to spring to his defense, crying \"over-reaction\" and \"storm in a teacup.\" The presenter later apologized, saying his efforts to obscure the offending word \"weren't quite good enough.\" On this latest occasion, was it the beleaguered producer lodging a complaint, or, like any normal person who's been punched in the face by a thug, pressing charges with the local constabulary? No, it was none other than Clarkson who willingly gave himself up to the corporation. Go on, sack me, he seemed to be saying, when he told a reporter that his dismissal \"is coming, isn't it?\" See how my adoring public likes that.

It makes their success all the sweeter if they can convince us that they achieved it in the face of hostility.

The security forces, backed by Shia militias, raised the Iraqi flag over the governorate and the main hospital buildings in the city Monday night, a security official with the forces in Tikrit told CNN. The gains, according to the official, came after a slow advance into the city as the forces dealt with more than 300 improvised explosive devices planted in the city's streets. At least 26 militants were killed in the operation, the official said. Earlier Monday, Iraqi federal police said in a statement aired on Iraqi television that the forces had liberated four neighborhoods in southern Tikrit. The renewed push into Tikrit comes days after a series of U.S.-led airstrikes aimed at ISIS targets around the city. The goal of those airstrikes was to pave the way for Iraqi forces to go in. Now security forces and fighters from Hashd Al-Shaabi, a predominantly Shia paramilitary force that has doing much of the fighting in the critical battle to take Tikrit back from ISIS, say they're gaining ground. Iraqi forces have tried multiple times to win back Tikrit since ISIS, which calls itself the Islamic State, conquered the city in June as part of its campaign to amass an expansive Islamic caliphate. And each time, so far, they've failed. The latest push began after Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on March 1 ordered Iraqi forces to retake Tikrit and Salahuddin province. Militants have been under pressure ever since in the battleground city, which is the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and located about 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Baghdad. ISIS responded by adjusting its positions in and around the city, hiding in buildings and other key infrastructure, said Saad al-Hadithi, a spokesman for al-Abadi. This movement led Iraq's military to pause its operation, out of growing worries that a full-on invasion could produce heavy Iraqi military and some civilian casualties. The situation spurred the Iraqi Prime Minister to request help from the U.S.-led coalition, which conducted airstrikes around Tikrit last week. CNN's Jomana Karadsheh, Catherine E. Shoichet, Ashley Fantz, Ben Wedeman and Greg Botelho contributed to this report.", "summary": "A push to retake Tikrit stalled as ISIS repositioned its forces around the city .

Pratchett, who wrote more than 70 books, including those in his \"Discworld\" series, had been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's disease in 2007. A statement on the website announced the news of his death at home Thursday with \"immeasurable sadness.\" \"I was deeply saddened to learn that Sir Terry Pratchett has died. The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds,\" said Larry Finlay, managing director at Transworld Publishers. \"In over 70 books, Terry enriched the planet like few before him. As all who read him know, 'Discworld' was his vehicle to satirize this world: He did so brilliantly, with great skill, enormous humor and constant invention.\" Pratchett continued to write following his diagnosis, completing his last book, a new Discworld novel, in the summer of 2014. Revealing his illness in 2007, the author -- who had a strong following among fans of fantasy fiction -- said he had been diagnosed with \"a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer's,\" which he described as \"an embuggerance.\" He said then, \"Frankly, I would prefer it if people kept things cheerful, because I think there's time for at least a few more books yet.\" According to Thursday's statement, he had posterior cortical atrophy, a progressive degenerative condition involving the loss and dysfunction of brain cells, particularly at the back of the brain. The last posts on his verified Twitter account, run by Pratchett with close friend Rob Wilkins, give a poignant farewell -- and have already been retweeted thousands of times. \"AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER,\" the first tweet in the series reads -- an apparent reference to Death, a recurring and generally sympathetic character in the Discworld books, who always speaks in ALL CAPS. \"Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night. \"The End.\" Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Society, a charitable organization, said Pratchett -- who spoke out publicly about his condition and called for greater funding for Alzheimer's research -- had \"fundamentally changed the way dementia is seen and understood.\" \"His vehement determination to reduce the stigma of dementia meant he helped drag it out of the shadows -- kicking and screaming at times,\" he said. \"Shouting from the rooftops about the absurdity of how little funding dementia research receives, and fighting for good quality dementia care, he was and will remain the truest of champions for people with the condition.\" Pratchett was also a patron of the British Humanist Association, which paid tribute Thursday to the humor and dedication with which the author \"turned his suffering into a positive campaign.\" Pratchett, who began writing while a provincial newspaper journalist in the 1960s, became a full time writer in 1987 and received the Order of the British Empire \"for services to literature\" from Prince Charles in 1998.

But investigators say he was the one at the controls inside the cockpit, deliberately locking out the plane's captain and setting the plane on a crash course for the French Alps. Andreas Lubitz had medical note for day of crash, hid illness, officials say . The only sound the recorder picked up from Lubitz as the Airbus A320 went down, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said, was the co-pilot's steady breathing. Authorities didn't mince words Thursday as they blamed Lubitz for the crash, but questions are still swirling over the 27-year-old's past. Officials say Lubitz passed a psychological test when he was hired, had no known ties to terrorism and showed no sign of medical distress during the flight. It seems, Robin said, that Lubitz \"wanted to destroy the aircraft.\" But why? Lufthansa CEO 'speechless' It's a question police were trying to answer as they searched Lubitz's apartment in Dusseldorf. Police spokesman Markus Niesczery said a team of five investigators went \"through the apartment looking for clues as to what the co-pilot's motivation might have been, if he did indeed bring the plane down.\" About 85 miles (136 km) away in the town of Montabaur, the house where Lubitz's parents live was shuttered and guarded by police. A group of men, perhaps investigators, were the only ones granted access. This town in western Germany is where Lubitz pursued his love of flying from a young age. At a club on the outskirts of Montabaur, pilots who knew Lubitz said they were shocked to hear what investigators said. They said the man they know never would have deliberately crashed a plane. Between the ages of 14 and 20, Lubitz was a regular fixture at the gliding club. \"(He was) a very normal young person, full of energy,\" Klaus Radke said. \"What can I say? He had a bright future. He made his hobby into his job. What more can you hope to achieve?\" The authorities' explanation doesn't ring true for Peter Ruecker, another pilot who knew him from the flight club. \"Knowing Andreas, this is just inconceivable for me,\" Ruecker told the Reuters news agency. \"He was a lot of fun, even though he was perhaps sometimes a bit quiet,\" Ruecker said. \"He was just another boy, like so many others here.\" A neighbor told Reuters that Lubitz \"was very interested in things which are going on around him.\" \"It's a very good family,\" the neighbor said. \"They have a good connection within the family and they are engaged in the community.\" An 8-minute descent to death . Lubitz had been with Germanwings, a budget airline owned by Lufthansa, since September 2013 and had completed 630 hours of flight time, the airline's media office said. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr told reporters that Lubitz \"interrupted\" his training, which he began in 2008. That break lasted several months, he said, but added that such an interruption isn't uncommon. Spohr said he couldn't give any information about why", "summary": "Police search co-pilot Andreas Lubitz's apartment for clues .

+{"article": "(CNN)The image of the braided Kurdish female fighter, donning military camouflage and taking up arms against the militant group ISIS, may have done more to promote the Kurdish cause in the West than anything else in recent years. The Iraqi Kurds have long been pro-Western in orientation, but Western powers have often only moderately addressed their pleas for support, in part out of fear of empowering the secessionist minority to seek independence. Now, with soccer moms in Middle America tweeting photos of Kurdish female fighters, Western governments may find it harder to explain their tepid Kurdish policies to their constituencies. Jacob Russell's sensitive photo essay brings much-needed nuance to the recent proliferation of images of Kurdish female fighters. Since last summer, international media -- and Kurdish politicians who have recognized the public relations value of the images -- often objectified these women. Images of smiling young female fighters brandishing weapons with a hint of glamour (\"girls with guns,\" as Russell calls this type of portrayal) tend to portray more of the photographer's assumptions about the woman's emancipation than her actual experiences as a Kurdish woman in combat. Russell consciously avoids this uncomplicated portrayal of female fighters. \"I was wary of making images that fed into this idea of the heroic strong women fighters,\" he said. \"I think that the female fighters are used quite cynically by Kurdish leaders (who) know very well how attractive this image is to the Western media.\" Having lived in Kurdistan for nearly two years, Russell understands that many women join the Peshmerga or other Kurdish forces for unglamorous reasons. Many of the women he photographed turned to the Peshmerga to escape abusive marriages or other forms of repression women continue to face there. Social media . Follow @CNNPhotos on Twitter to join the conversation about photography. \"A lot of the women's backstories were quite difficult,\" he said. \"It seemed like this unit provided an alternative network for women who maybe would struggle in normal Kurdish society, because despite being relatively progressive (within the Middle East), it is still quite a conservative society.\" Russell explores the theme of sisterhood, and in one image he captures the women in an intimate moment in the back of a pickup truck, their fingers intertwined. That photo, he says, is his favorite from the shoot. \"I think that image is one of the more expressive ones that (shows) what really seems to be going on there,\" he said. \"I didn't want to take pictures that conveyed the idea that this was all about hardcore fighters going into battle and killing lots of (ISIS) fighters. That just didn't seem to be the case.\" Russell remarks that the image of the female fighter carries an important social role, conveying to the world the (relatively) progressive values that Kurds pride themselves on. The women now serve a political role, too. As Western governments eye more military engagement with Kurdish forces in Iraq and Syria, these women may boost the Kurds' international standing.

In November, Cleveland Officer Timothy Loehmann fired the fatal shots at Tamir within two seconds of arriving outside a recreation center where the sixth-grader was playing with a pellet gun. In the 41-page response to the family's lawsuit filed Friday, the city says that Tamir's injuries \"were directly and proximately caused by the failure of Plaintiffs' decedent to exercise due care to avoid injury.\" The response further says that \"Plaintiffs' decedent's injuries, losses, and damages complained of, were directly and proximately caused by the acts of Plaintiffs' decedent, not this Defendant.\" The city also claims it is entitled to all \"full and qualified\" immunities under state and federal law. As to the scores of other allegations in the lawsuit, the city responds by saying that they are untrue, that the independent investigation by Cuyahoga County is still going on, or that the city \"is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth.\" Cuyahoga County's medical examiner has ruled the death a homicide but has issued no determination as to whether the events that caused the boy's death constitute a crime. Cleveland authorities have repeatedly said that Loehmann mistook Tamir's fake gun for a real one. A witness called 911 on November 22 to say there was \"a guy with a pistol\" and that although the weapon was \"probably\" fake, Tamir was scaring people.

It was the latest in a series of angry protests that have seen brawls erupt in humdrum shopping malls, with demonstrators singling out the \"parallel traders\" who crowd into Hong Kong to purchase tax-free products and then resell them for a profit back in China. \"I've grown up here, and ever since a lot of the Chinese started coming into Hong Kong, things have changed,\" said Suen, a law student who only gave her surname. Clad in a mask to protect against police wielding pepper spray, she took part in the protest with her mother. Local residents say the traders are not only disturbing the peace, but are driving up the price of food, rent, and gutting local neighborhoods of their character - the city has become a blur of jewelers, pharmacies and other businesses that cater primarily to Chinese shoppers. \"Previously there were a lot of indigenous places like restaurants, but all of them have closed,\" said Suen, standing across from a store selling baby milk powder - the top item on many Chinese tourists' shopping lists. \"It's very difficult to be very welcoming.\" Tensions have long been simmering between Hong Kong and the motherland, and parallel trading is just one of the thorny issues brought about by the influx of mainland Chinese to the city. A series of food scandals -- most notably in 2008 when melamine-tainted milk powder caused infant deaths across China -- led to shortages of baby milk formula in Hong Kong as Chinese flocked to buy up the city's supplies. The ensuing uproar led the government to introduce a law limiting the purchase to two tins per traveler leaving the city. Last year, 31 million Chinese visitors traveled to Hong Kong, accounting for 78% of all tourists, according to the government. But the numbers hide that the visitors aren't all sightseeing tourists in the traditional sense. There are the day-trippers, wheeling suitcases and carting boxes of goods and supplies across the border, but there is also an increasing number of wealthy mainland Chinese who are buying up luxury properties, and visit the city on a regular basis. According to the Global Property Guide, developers say as much as 40% of new home buyers are from China. Residents blame them for causing a hike in real estate prices in what reports say is already the most expensive property market in the world. Both the Chinese and Hong Kong government have encouraged mainland tourists to visit the city and boost the local economy.

Officials said Tribhuvan International would reopen at 10 a.m. local time Saturday as preparations to move the plane continue. \"We do not know now if it will take longer than then to move the plane,\" Purna Chudal, manager of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, told CNN. More then 160 flights have been canceled since Wednesday's incident, leaving more than 24,000 passengers stranded as officials struggle to remove the immobile Airbus A330 off the runway, Chudal said. The timing of the incident is problematic for Nepal's tourism industry, which is gearing up for the 2015 climbing season. Foreigners heading to Mount Everest and other nearby peaks in the Himalayan Mountains transit through the airport. The authority initially said it would reopen the airport at 10 a.m. Friday, later revising that to 5 p.m., but workers were unable to remove the aircraft by that time. They were able to lift the plane's nose -- originally pitched down -- and change its tires. The main challenge now is to push the grass-grounded plane back onto the runway. Officials say the area under the plane needs to be firmed up -- a process that involves digging into the ground and filling it with gravel -- before push back can commence. The Turkish Airways incident didn't result in any major injuries but the plane has remained aground as Nepal doesn't have the necessary equipment to move it. Cargo planes were unable to fly in heavy-duty machinery because there was nowhere to land.

+{"article": "(CNN)Angelina Jolie's decision to remove her breasts and ovaries to prevent cancer (as she detailed in today's New York Times op-ed) might sound extreme, but breast cancer experts say she was spot on. \"I understand what Angelina Jolie did, and I would have done it, too,\" said Dr. Otis Brawley, the chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society. Brawley said if he were Jolie's doctor he would have advised her to do what she did because her mother, aunt, and grandmother all had ovarian cancer, and her mother had breast cancer as well. Plus, Jolie has a gene that gives her about an 87% chance of getting breast cancer sometime in her life. \"She has one of the particularly bad breast cancer genes,\" Brawley said. The decision is made even easier by advances in breast reconstruction and by hormone treatments that help ease women into menopause, which is induced by removing the ovaries. The ovary surgery was a no-brainer, doctors say, and some wondered why she didn't do it sooner. In her op-ed, Jolie explained that every year she's had a blood test called CA-125, to monitor for ovarian cancer. But that test often has false positives and false negatives, said Dr. Dr. Funmi Olopade, director of the Center for Clinical Cancer Genetics at the University of Chicago. \"You really can't rely on it,\" she said. Instead of screening, experts in cancer genetics recommend that women at a very high risk for ovarian cancer, like Jolie, remove their ovaries as soon as they're done having children. \"I can't emphasize enough how important this is,\" Olopade said. Olopade was glad to hear Tuesday morning that Jolie had decided to move forward. \"What she's done is really important to save her life, because there's no way to detect ovarian cancer,\" she said. Jolie's decision about her breasts (also documented in an op-ed), however, is not so clear cut, Olopade explained, because it would have been perfectly acceptable if Jolie had decided to keep her breasts and to get regular MRIs instead. \"We have lots of survivors who went that route, and they've done well,\" she said. Some made the decision to keep their breasts because they couldn't afford a good plastic surgeon for breast reconstruction, she added. \"Celebrities have access to that kind of surgery, but that's not the life everyone lives,\" Olopade said. Brawley added that Jolie's decision likely wouldn't be right for someone with a different kind of breast cancer gene mutation.

An autopsy indicates he was poisoned. Three-year-old Irish setter Thendara Satisfaction -- known to his owners as Jagger -- took second prize in his class at the event in Birmingham, central England, on Thursday. But just a day later, after returning home to Belgium, he became ill. Owner-breeder Dee Milligan-Bott told CNN Jagger was \"finding it hard to breathe\" so a veterinarian was called, but the dog died before he could get there. \"The vet thought it was suspicious, so carried out an autopsy,\" she said. \"They found cubes of beef in his stomach that had at least two types of poison inside. Pieces of beef had been stitched together so that the poison didn't come out. \"He had enough in his system to kill a horse, according to the vet,\" said Milligan-Bott, who is at a loss to explain why Jagger was targeted: \"We can't fathom why anyone would do this.\" \"I've been doing this for 30-odd years and I think I would have to give up on everything if I believed that someone who shows and breeds dogs would kill a dog. We all do this because we love dogs. If you hate me for being successful, then stick a brick through my window or something. But why would you involve a dog?\" Toxicology tests are being carried out. The vet has reported the dog's death to Belgian police, and Milligan-Bott said she would likely contact West Midlands Police in the UK too. A spokesperson for the Kennel Club, organizers of the Crufts dog show, said there had never been such an incident in the history of the competition, which dates back to 1891. \"We are deeply shocked and saddened to hear this terrible news and our heartfelt sympathies go out to Jagger's owners,\" said Caroline Kisko, secretary of the Kennel Club, in a statement. \"We understand that a toxicology report is due next week and that this matter has been reported to the police - we will work with them and help however we can.\" Television personality and writer Clare Balding, who hosts TV coverage of Crufts in the UK, took to Twitter to express her shock at the news: \"Everyone at #Crufts2015 horrified at death of Irish Setter Jagger & post-mortem found poison.

+{"article": "(CNN)What a difference a couple of years makes. A federal judge has struck down Nebraska's ban on same-sex marriage, calling it an \"unabashedly gender-specific infringement of the equal rights of its citizens.\" U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon's decision Monday means that same-sex marriage is now against the law in fewer than one in four states. Nebraska state officials immediately appealed the ruling to the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Bataillon denied a state request to stay his decision. And so, beginning Monday the state must \"treat same-sex couples the same as different sex couples\" when it comes to marriage rights, the federal injunction reads. As the dominoes fall in favor of same-sex marriages, the question now seems to be which state will be the last? The number of states offering same-sex marriages has surged since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in 2013 that invalidated part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. States like Illinois, Hawaii, Minnesota and New York joined the fold voluntarily, while others -- most recently Nebraska and Alabama -- were ordered by state or federal judges to offer and recognize the unions. The case involving Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee is expected to be decided sometime in June by the U.S. Supreme Court. Here's the situation in the 12 states that currently ban same-sex marriages: . The state's constitutional ban on gay marriage, passed in 2004, was struck down twice last year -- once by a state court judge and again by a U.S. District Court judge. Local officials issued some 400 marriage licenses following the state court decision, but the state Supreme Court blocked the issuance of more licenses pending its review of the case. A decision could come soon. Georgia is one of just two states with no legislative action or pending legal decisions whatsoever on same-sex marriage. The other is North Dakota. However, lawsuits are pending to overturn the state's 2004 ban. The state's ban is being challenged in state court, where a judge last year ruled the law is unconstitutional, and in federal court, where a U.S. District Court judge took the rare step, for a federal judge, of backing such a ban. The ban remains in place pending Louisiana's appeal of the state court ruling. On the federal level, a ruling is pending out of the U.S Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which heard arguments in the case in January. Last year, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that the state's constitutional amendment banning gay marriages had no \"legitimate purpose.\" The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit later overturned the ruling, reinstating gay marriage bans in Kentucky and four other states. The Kentucky ban is part of the U.S. Supreme Court case scheduled for arguments in April and a decision by June. A U.S. District Court judge ruled last year that the state's same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional, resulting in the issuance of more than 300 marriage licenses. That ended when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit granted a stay. The court later reinstated Michigan's", "summary": "12 states do not allow same-sex marriages .

Abu Hammam al Shami was among those killed in the strikes against al-Nusra, al Qaeda's largest affiliate in Syria, the source said. Syria's state news agency SANA also reported al Shami's death. The special operation that took place in Hobait, in Idlib province, was part of a wider effort by Syrian forces to destroy areas believed to be gathering points for al-Nusra militants around the province, according to SANA. According to a 2014 al-Nusra video, al Shami joined the group after years of training in Afghanistan and Iraq. Also killed in the northwestern province of Idlib was a senior Saudi operative in the group, the source said. There were initial indications that al-Nusra leader Abu Mohammed al Jolani was wounded in one of the strikes, the source said Thursday. But on Friday, the source told CNN the latest assessment of Syrian intelligence was that al Jolani was not injured. The strikes took place in the towns of Salqin and Hobait, both near the city of Saraqeb in Idlib. One strike targeted a meeting of senior al-Nusra Front leaders; the other was on a home being used as a base, the source said. A spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition that is hitting ISIS targets in Syria said its planes weren't involved. \"Within the last 24 hours, we have not conducted any airstrikes within 200 miles of the province of Idlib,\" the spokesman said earlier Thursday. Al Shami was featured in a March 2014 video released by al-Nusra Front, in which he discussed his failed attempt to mediate between his militants and ISIS after rising tensions between the groups. The video included a biography by the group of al Shami, which was translated by the Long War Journal. It said that in the late 1990s, al Shami traveled to Afghanistan, where he was trained in a camp run by Abu Musab al Suri, a veteran Syrian jihadi strategist. Al Shami then trained in al Qaeda camps, where he met one of the 9/11 hijackers and personally swore allegiance to Osama bin Laden. By the time of the 9/11 attacks, al Shami had started to train recruits in Afghanistan and was named as the head of the Syrian jihadist contingent within al Qaeda. After the fall of the Taliban, he fled Afghanistan with senior Egyptian al Qaeda operative Sayf al Adel, the group said in the video. Al Shami began operating in Iraq, where he began working with al Qaeda in Iraq founder Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, conducting training for the group during the Iraqi insurgency, the al-Nusra video stated. In 2005, al Shami returned to Afghanistan for a short period, at the request of al Qaeda's leadership.

+{"article": "(CNN)\"Breast is best\" -- you could call it a mantra of sorts that sums up much of today's research on breastfeeding. Not only does breastfeeding have clear short-term benefits, such as protection from infectious diseases and a reduction in mortality, it's also been shown to be associated with an increase in intelligence. Prior studies have shown an increase of up to 7.5 IQ points in elementary age children who were breastfed, as well as an increase in verbal, performance and comprehensive IQ in adults. The latest addition to this perspective is a long-term study of infants born in Pelotas, Brazil, in 1982. Published in Lancet, the study interviewed 5,914 new mothers about their plans for breastfeeding and then followed up to see how they did. \"Information on breastfeeding duration was collected very close to the time when weaning happened, so we had a very precise information on the duration of breastfeeding,\" said study author, Dr. Bernardo Lessa Horta, in a podcast on Lancet. What makes this study unique is that it followed the subjects all the way to age 30. \"We were able to follow about 68% of the participants, which is a very good follow-up rate,\" said Lessa Horta. \"We observed that breastfeeding was positively associated with performance and intelligence at 30 years old, as well as with education, school achievement and higher monthly incomes.\" In fact, Lessa Horta said the subjects who had been breastfed for 12 months or longer had a higher IQ (about 3.7 points), more years of education and earned roughly 20% more than the average income level. \"It's suggesting that the positive effect of breastfeeding on IQ leads to a higher income,\" he said. \"This is our main finding at this moment.\" One possible reason for the advantage of breast milk, Lessa Horta added, is that it is \"rich in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which are important to brain growth and development.\" Called LCPUFA for short, these essential fatty acids are found in salmon and shellfish and have been added to infant formulas since the 1990s. However, the benefit to mental or psychomotor development from adding LCPUFA to infant formula is unclear. Because the study did not measure home life, intellectual stimulation or bonding between mother and child, it was not able to tease out whether these factors may have also contributed to the increase in IQ. That leaves it open to critics, such as Texas A&M Professor Joan Wolf, author of \"Is Breast Best? \"This study does not address the very real possibility that mothers who choose to breastfeed, regardless of income or education, distinguish themselves from those who bottle-feed in all kinds of ways that are likely to promote intelligence,\" Wolf wrote CNN. For Lessa Horta, the implications of his study are clear: \"The finding supports the promotion of breastfeeding. It's more evidence that besides the clear short term benefits, breastfeeding also has long term consequences in terms of human potential.\"", "summary": "Long-term study finds that IQ at age 30 was nearly 4 points higher for babies breastfed for a year or more .

Step One: Republicans, with nothing in their arsenal to use against Hillary Clinton, selectively leak to reporters a \"scandalous\" tidbit -- often one that has been previously reported. Step Two: The new media bites. Step Three: The media hyperventilates and suffocates the airwaves with repetition of the same story. Step Four: Upon further examination, the story falls apart. This is exactly how the latest media hype, this time over Hillary Clinton's use of emails at the State Department, has played out. And it presents yet another chapter in the Benghazi hoax. The New York Times story about Hillary Clinton's use of a private email account at the State Department is a perfect example of \"gotcha\" journalism, where reporters will take any bait the Republicans give them without proper vetting. The New York Times has a history of this. (Whitewater, anyone?) The Times story suggests Secretary Clinton broke federal rules in relation to her email. But the Times' main source for this allegation says Clinton violated no laws. Yes, Clinton used a private email account to communicate while she was secretary of state. But so did secretaries of state before her. According to the State Department spokesman Marie Harf, John Kerry is the first secretary of state ever to rely primarily on official State Department email. Clinton asks State to release emails: What you need to know . In October 2014, 18 months after Clinton left, the State Department was engaged in the process of updating its records preservation policies. The State Department asked every secretary of state dating back to Madeleine Albright to provide records, including emails, from their time in office. Clinton responded to the State Department's request for emails, providing the department with over 55,000 pages of emails. She did so months ago. Clinton has been fully transparent and has asked the State Department for these emails to be made public. Republican investigators seeking to hype the current Benghazi investigation leaked the issue to keep a dying investigation alive. And once again, reporters bit. In the days since The New York Times posted its story, there have been dozens and dozens of stories written on the topic. Why? Because the Clintons are held to a double standard when it comes to media scrutiny. Their perfectly usual, above board behavior is spun as secretive and unaccountable -- while Republicans are left relatively unscathed. Mitt Romney used his private email account to discuss political business, and when he left the governor's office, his administration destroyed records rather than turn them over to state archives. Scott Walker's County Executive's office used a secret email system, which investigators determined was being used to engage in campaign work on county time and to avoid public records disclosure laws.

+{"article": "(CNN)There were three Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965, and Rosa Parks had missed the first one. Parks, whose act of civil disobedience sparked the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, moved to Detroit two years later for safety reasons. Death threats, in Alabama, were too much for her to endure. For eight years, Parks, a working-class woman, toiled at the Stockton Sewing Co. in Michigan, making dishrags, for low wages. But on March 1, 1965, she abruptly quit to join U.S. Rep. John Conyers' staff in Detroit. The voting rights movement in the South, led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., coupled with the assassination of Malcolm X that February, had re-energized her appetite for direct political action. On Sunday, March 7, Parks was at home in Detroit watching the ABC television premiere of \"Judgment at Nuremberg\" when the broadcast was suddenly interrupted by a news flash from Selma, Alabama. A peaceful throng of voting rights activists had marched onto the steel-arched Edmund Pettus Bridge that spanned the Alabama River, only to be brutally assaulted by police and Alabama state troopers, most of them wearing gas masks. Before being arrested and beaten these protesters had been headed to the state capital in Montgomery, a distance of 54 miles, to demand federal protection of blacks' right to vote. That Sunday afternoon, 25-year-old John Lewis, then chairman of Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and today a U.S. congressman from Georgia's 5th District, had been tear-gassed and billy clubbed as he tried to cross the bridge. The sight of him being beaten sickened Parks. Lewis had emerged as the bravest and youngest of the major civil rights leaders of the Kennedy-Johnson era, even speaking at the March on Washington in 1963. As a Freedom Rider in the South, he was arrested 24 times, and proud of it. Therefore on March 9, to protest \"Bloody Sunday,\" as the incident became known, Parks walked down Detroit's wide Woodward Avenue in full solidarity with Brother Lewis and the others arrested in Selma. \"The Edmund Pettus Bridge for me was wrought in symbolism,\" Parks recalled years later. \"The photos taken that day made me think of the bridge as a battlefield, like at Lexington and Concord. It was the start of a turning point.\" So when King -- who had been in Atlanta for \"Bloody Sunday\" -- telegrammed Parks about returning to Alabama to take part in a third mass march from Selma to Montgomery, her immediate answer was \"Why, of course.\" Once back in Montgomery in late March at King's request, Parks looked around to see what had changed since the '50s. \"One of the first things I did was look at the buses,\" she told me in 1997. \"And yes -- they were integrated. ... That felt good.\" On March 25, Parks, the \"Mother of the Movement,\" spoke eloquently in Montgomery though her soft voice was barely audible over the crackling speakers.

Born in 1923, Lee became Prime Minister in 1959 when Singapore, a tiny spit of land with no natural resources and a polyglot population of Chinese, Malays and Indians, was still British territory and beset by riots and unrest. He presided over Singapore's bitter split from Malaysia in 1965 and molded the independent country into the global economic powerhouse it is today. \"I was trying to create, in a third-world situation, a first-world oasis,\" Lee told CNN in 2008.

His brand of capitalism -- which stresses the role of government rather than the free hand of the market -- has provided a blueprint for China's landmark economic reforms. But Lee was also a divisive figure, attracting criticism for stifling media freedom and for the harsh treatment of political opponents. In 2013, protests over plans to allow more immigrants into the city-state indicated growing unease among Singaporeans about the vision of the country set forth by the People's Action Party -- the party co-founded by Lee that has ruled Singapore for five decades. Lee voluntarily stepped down as Prime Minister in 1990, the first Asian strongman to do so. However, he played a role in the country's Cabinet until 2011 when his eldest son, Lee Hsien Loong, was elected for a second term as prime minister. The elder Lee retained his influence around the world. \"This is one of the legendary figures of Asia in the 20th and 21st centuries,\" U.S. President Barack Obama said during a meeting with Lee at the White House in October 2009. \"He is somebody who helped to trigger the Asian economic miracle,\" Obama added. But there were indications Lee's health had been slipping in recent years. In 2010 he was admitted to the hospital with a chest infection and in early 2013, Lee -- then 89 -- was hospitalized and treated treated for \"stroke-like symptoms.\" He was again admitted to the hospital on February 5 for severe pneumonia and more than six weeks later remained on a ventilator. A fourth-generation Singaporean, Lee's family originally emigrated from southern China. A bright student, he gained a place in the city's elite Raffles Institution and went on to study law at Fitzwilliam College at Cambridge. He attributed his decision to go into politics to his experiences during the Japanese occupation of Singapore. \"I learned how people survived and how people had to submit because you need to eat and your family needs to live, so I learned the meaning of power,\" he told CNN in 2002.

+{"article": "Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)With partial results reported in the Nigerian presidential election, it appears opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari is leading incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. Reuters, which has collated results from three-quarters of Nigeria's states as they're broadcast live on state TV, reported that Buhari has so far obtained 11.5 million votes, Jonathan 9.5 million. Electoral officers from each of the 36 states are taking turns declaring results from their respective states at the Independent National Electoral Commission. The vote count was stopped Monday night and will resume at 10 a.m. Tuesday (5 a.m. ET), according to a tweet from Attahiru Jega, the chairman of the electoral commission. Jega will be the one to announce final results. Violent protests after Nigeria's presidential elections Saturday sparked calls for calm from the two main candidates and a warning by the United States and Britain against political interference. Protesters fired gunshots and torched a local electoral office in Nigeria's oil-rich Rivers state on Sunday as they marched to protest the elections, amid claims of vote-rigging and voter intimidation. Heavy rain eventually forced the protesters to leave, but there are fears it will take more than rain to stop further protests and violence. More than 800 people were killed in post-election violence across Nigeria's north in 2011 after charges that those elections were illegitimate. Now Nigeria has just held what are thought to be the closest elections since a return to democracy in 1999 after decades of military rule. The two main candidates are incumbent Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party and retired Buhari of All Progressives Congress. Jonathan and Buhari last week issued a pledge reaffirming their commitment to \"free, fair and credible elections\" after their signing of the Abuja Accord in January. After the protests in Rivers, Buhari's All Progressives Congress demanded the elections there be canceled. \"There's been so much violence in Rivers state that it's just not tenable,\" party spokesman Lai Mohammed said. But the Peoples Democratic Party disputed the accusation, saying the election was \"credible and the result reflects the overwhelming wish of the people of Rivers state to support President Goodluck Jonathan.\" \"We are concerned by what seems to be happening,\" said Jega, the election chairman, about events in Rivers. Voting ended after problems with ballot papers and digital voting cards saw it extended to Sunday in some areas. Read more: Nigerian election extended one day . Britain and the United States entered the fray Monday with their top diplomats issuing a statement welcoming a \"largely peaceful vote\" but warning any political interference would contravene Jonathan and Buhari's peace pact. \"So far, we have seen no evidence of systemic manipulation of the process. But there are disturbing indications that the collation process -- where the votes are finally counted -- may be subject to deliberate political interference. This would contravene the letter and spirit of the Abuja Accord, to which both major parties committed themselves,\" U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said. Responding to their joint statement, electoral commission spokesman Kayode Idowu said: \"For all that", "summary": "Vote-counting postponed until Tuesday morning, election leader says in tweet .

+{"article": "(CNN)Saudi and allied warplanes struck rebels in Yemen on Thursday, with Saudi Arabia threatening to send ground troops and inserting itself into its southern neighbor's civil war, potentially opening up a broader sectarian conflict in the Middle East. The swift and sudden action involved 100 Saudi jets, 30 from the United Arab Emirates, 15 each from Kuwait and Bahrain, 10 from Qatar, and a handful from Jordan, Morocco and Sudan, plus naval help from Pakistan and Egypt, according to a Saudi adviser. The Egyptian state news agency on Thursday quoted Egypt's Foreign Ministry as saying Egypt's support also could involve ground forces. What do those countries have in common? They're all predominantly Sunni Muslim -- in contrast to the Houthi rebels, Shiite Muslims who have taken over Yemen's capital of Sanaa and on Wednesday captured parts of its second-largest city, Aden. The Saudis consider the Houthis proxies for the Shiite government of Iran and fear another Shiite-dominated state in the region. \"What they do not want is an Iranian-run state on their southern border,\" CNN military analyst Lt. Col. Rick Francona said of the Saudis. The airstrikes did not include warplanes from the United States, which has worked with Yemeni governments -- including that of recently deposed but still battling President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi -- to go after al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. In fact, a senior official in President Barack Obama's administration said \"there will be no military intervention by the U.S.\" But U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday did tell foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman that the United States commends the military action and is supporting it through intelligence sharing, targeting assistance and logistical support, according to a senior State Department official. How did Yemen get to this place? Houthi supreme leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi spoke live Thursday night in Yemen on al-Masirah TV, saying, \"If any army try to invade our country, we will prove that Yemen will be a grave for those who invade us.\" He added, \"We call on the invaders to stop the attacks and if the airstrikes do not end then we will escalate in the needed manner.\" Iran denounced the military intervention. Marzieh Afkham, a spokeswoman for the country's Foreign Ministry, said the operation will throw an already complicated situation into further turmoil and disrupt chances at a peaceful resolution to Yemen's monthslong internal strife. It also won't help a region already facing terrorist threats from groups like ISIS and al Qaeda, she said. \"This is a dangerous action against international responsibilities to respect countries' national sovereignty,\" Afkham said, according to a report in Iran's state-run Islamic Republic News Agency. Iraq -- 60% of whose citizens are Shiite, with about 20% being Sunnis -- offered similar, albeit a bit more muted opposition to what its Foreign Ministry called \"the military interference of the Gulf Cooperation Council,\" which is made up of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. \"We call on the Arab states to live up to their role to", "summary": "Saudi ambassador says Iran is interfering in Yemen, other countries .

+{"article": "(CNN)The desert and dun-colored cliffs around the town of Tataouine were once the backdrop for the movie \"Star Wars,\" much of which was filmed in this neglected corner of Tunisia in 1976. This struggling town on the fringes of the Sahara still draws a few fans of the movie but now finds itself part of a real conflict, as a way-station for jihadists crossing the Libyan border 60 miles to the east. Earlier this month, before the gun attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis, three young men were arrested here as they allegedly made plans to cross into Libya to join a terrorist network. A local official told CNN they had since been taken to Tunis for questioning. Two arms caches have also been found in the region this month, one of which included rocket-propelled grenade launchers and more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition, thought to have been removed from a Libyan armory in the aftermath of Moammar Gadhafi's ouster in 2011. Driving near the border, it's quickly obvious why the Tunisian government is so anxious about Libya's implosion and the emergence there of an ISIS affiliate whose tentacles stretch half-way across the country. This open space is vast and sparsely populated. Smugglers' tracks criss-cross the endless scrub and steep, arid hills that run along the border. Gasoline, drugs and other contraband have long been smuggled across the frontier. Near the town of Remada, south of Tataouine, a couple of soldiers manned a checkpoint. They wore protective jackets -- whether for show or because of the perceived threat from Islamist militants, it's hard to know. When we arrived, passports were requested and phone calls made. We were escorted into the town and politely but firmly told we could go no further without written authorization. Exactly four years ago we had passed through Remada unchallenged. Tunisians had just launched the Arab Spring. There was a mood of heady optimism and the security apparatus of the Ben Ali regime had melted away. But already Libya was falling apart, as different groups of rebels fought to oust Gadhafi. Thousands of foreign workers were then trying to escape the violence through the few official border crossings. Now Libya's descent into chaos means those crossings are sometimes closed, and it's foreign fighters using the smugglers' trails that Tunisia must worry about. At the national guard building in Remada the officer in charge -- a burly figure in his mid-40s - was wearing a \"New York 1999\" sweatshirt and appeared to be one of many plainclothes security personnel in the town. He was happy to talk but didn't want his name reported. Ignoring calls on his cell phone, he lamented the state of the Arab world and the expansion of Daesh, as ISIS is frequently called. Look at Iraq, Syria, Libya....of course Tunisia is threatened, he said. The Tunisians are doing what they can, he said.

+{"article": "(CNN)An Iraqi man watching his first snowfall in his new American hometown was shot and killed by an unknown assailant, according to Dallas police. Authorities have stepped up patrols in the neighborhood where Ahmed Al-Jumaili lived -- and died -- in their effort to find out who killed the 36-year-old early Thursday, as he and his brother stood in the parking lot of his apartment complex watching the snow. Al-Jumaili's wife was with them taking photos. Dallas police spokesman Jeff Cotner said Al-Jumaili, who recently immigrated to the U.S., had never seen snow and \"just like all of us, a pretty snowfall brings the child out in us.\" There is \"extreme heartache ... and no shortage of sadness for this beautiful young man who had just come to this country 20 days ago,\" said Alia Salem, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. CAIR became involved in the case immediately after the shooting, according to Salem, because of \"a heightened sense of awareness with regard to hate crimes against Muslims.\" Salem said the Muslim community wanted to know whether the shooting death was random or whether Al-Jumaili was targeted. Police say they have no indication so far that it was a hate crime. When shooting broke out, Al-Jumaili cried \"I'm hit!\" according to Cotner, basing that on statements from witnesses and the victim's relatives. He ran to his apartment nearby and died a few hours later. Police did not say where Al-Jumaili was struck or how many times he was shot. Some residents reported seeing two to four men enter the apartment complex on foot through a vehicle gate before the shooting, according to Cotner. He said there was no interaction between the men and Al-Jumaili and his family. In black-and-white soundless surveillance video, one person who appears to be carrying a rifle is seen running just ahead of a second person, Dallas police Officer Monica Cordova said. The second person is shown walking at a slower pace, holding what appears to be a handgun in his right hand. Approximately 13 seconds later, another person comes into view and passes by the camera, followed by a fourth individual who is walking, she said. From the vantage point of the camera, it is difficult to make out any of the features of the suspects or even the gender, although police have said they are looking for four black males. Witnesses say multiple shots were fired from what is believed to be a rifle. Cotner said police are conducting tests to find out whether more than one rifle was used in the shooting, but he said he could not reveal the make or model of the weapon. Cotner said Friday that other than that, police have little to go on. \"We can't solve this crime alone,\" he said. Authorities are appealing to the public to contact them with any information that might help the investigation. North Texas Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and an indictment, police said.", "summary": "Dallas police say Ahmed Al-Jumaili was killed by shot from a rifle, but they aren't revealing what type .

+{"article": "(CNN)It's playing out like a scene from \"Night of the Living Dead\"-- in the boardroom of one of Italy's most famous clubs. Director George A. Romero's horror cult classic revolved around a swarm of slow-moving cannibalistic corpses snacking on the inhabitants of a shopping mall and Parma general manager and team legend Alessandro Melli talks in similarly apocalyptic tones as he details the financial crisis engulfing the Serie A club. \"It seems like we are zombies, working without knowing where we are heading,\" Melli told CNN's Don Riddell. Rooted at the bottom of Italy's top flight, Parma has debts of approximately $100 million and faces a looming financial collapse -- barring a miracle ownership rescue. The club has been docked points twice this season for failing to pay its players and faces a bankruptcy hearing on March 19. \"Every day they take away a part of our work and piece of our hearts. Bits of the club are foreclosed every day and we come here to work just because we love our work and our team, but we cannot do our job,\" added Melli. \"We're living in a nightmare, whichever way you look at it. Because this is not just about the money, even though we can't ignore it, there is a lot more that they are taking away. Dignity, the smile; they took away our respect and it hurts.\" Last season Parma finished sixth in Serie A, only to be barred from taking part in European football's second tier competition -- the Europa League -- over an income tax bill. Between 1992 and 2002 Parma won two UEFA Cups, the 1992 European Cup Winners' Cup and three Italian Cups in a successful spell between 1992 and 2002. In 1997, led by current Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and with the caliber of players like Gianfranco Zola, Faustino Asprilla and Hernan Crespo, Parma finished runners-up in Serie A. \"Look at the team we had,\" said Angelo Manfredini, president of the Parma supporters club, referring to those halycon days, as he rattled off other players including Melli, Fabio Cannavaro and longtime Italy captain and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who now plays for Juventus. \"All were players who meant something to football.\" Fast forward to more austere times and Parma's current players haven't been paid since August.

+{"article": "Baghdad (CNN)About 75% of the besieged Iraqi city of Tikrit is now back in government control, the head of a key paramilitary force taking part in the attack told CNN on Thursday. The other 25% is in the hands of about 150 ISIS fighters who continue to hold out, said Main Al-Kadhimi, commander of the Hashd Al-Shaabi militia. There has been no independent confirmation of such a significant advance by the Iraqi forces. But they have been making progress in recent days. ISIS' spokesman, Abu Mohammed al Adnani, called reports of coalition-member victories \"delusional and fake.\" He spoke of the coalition's use of fighter jets, heavy artillery and tanks, saying it is a \"nightmare and will go eventually.\" On Wednesday, joint Iraqi forces gained control of Tikrit Military Hospital, a few blocks south of the presidential palace. It's part of their ongoing quest to wrest control from ISIS, which captured the city last year. The predominantly Shiite militia has been working with Iraqi troops as well as Sunni fighters to try to regain Tikrit. Tikrit, best known to Westerners as the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, fell in June to ISIS, which has captured large areas of Iraq and Syria for what it says is its Islamic caliphate. On March 1, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered Iraqi forces to retake Tikrit and Salaheddin province. ISIS wasn't making it easy, however. The Sunni extremist group blew up a key bridge near Tikrit, preventing the joint Iraqi forces from using it to cross the Tigris River to approach the city from the east. Nevertheless, forces have made progress, forcing ISIS fighters to retreat toward the city center from front-line positions, Hashd Al-Shaabi's media office said. There have been several failed attempts to recapture Tikrit since the second half of 2014. If Iraq regains control of the city, it could mean that retaking Mosul -- a city 10 times bigger -- is possible. The Tikrit offensive involves around 30,000 fighters. Also assisting is Iran, which has provided advisers, weapons and ammunition to the Iraqi government. According to the Pentagon, Iranians may be operating heavy artillery and rocket launchers as well. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday that the consensus was that Iran's involvement was positive in military terms. \"Anything anyone does to counter ISIS is in the main a good outcome,\" he said. But Dempsey also voiced concern over what might happen after ISIS is defeated. A key question, he said, is \"whether the government of Iraq will remain on a path to provide an inclusive government for all of the groups\" in Iraq. Tikrit could act as an important testing ground, with some observers concerned that if the predominantly Shiite militias seize control, thanks in part to the support of majority-Shiite Iran, they could carry out reprisal attacks against the remaining Sunni population there. Such attacks could inflame already simmering sectarian tensions within Iraq and make future efforts to retake Mosul and bring peace to", "summary": "ISIS tunnels under Iraqi army headquarters; explosions kill dozens of soldiers .

+{"article": "(CNN)In an unusual turn of events last week, a terror plot suspect's desire to talk to local media put him at odds with his attorneys and landed a Cincinnati television station in federal court. At issue was a taped audio interview with Christopher Cornell and whether the station could broadcast that interview. Cornell is accused of plotting to attack the U.S. Capitol. The 20-year-old -- who claims in the interview that he is affiliated with ISIS -- was arrested on January 14, months after his social media habits and talk of jihad put him on the FBI's radar, according to court documents obtained by CNN at the time of his arrest. Two days after his arrest, a court order was issued barring public contact with Cornell, who is being held at the Boone County Jail across the river in Kentucky. Last week, Cornell made a collect call to CNN affiliate WXIX, said news director Kevin Roach. That phone call initiated what ended up being an hourlong interview, Roach said. Cornell's attorney, Richard Smith-Monahan, argued that WXIX was in contempt of court for violating a January order \"directing the detention facility holding the Defendant not to permit outside contact by anyone with the Defendant without [defense counsel's] express approval.\" Cornell spoke with reporter Tricia Macke. In that interview, he refuses to tell Macke how or when he first came in contact with ISIS, but he did give the reporter details on a plot to kill President Barack Obama, members of Congress, as well as an attack on the Israeli Embassy in Washington. \"I would have took my gun,\" he said. \"I would have put it to Obama's head. I would have pulled the trigger. Then I would unleash more bullets on the Senate and House of Representative members. And I would have attacked the Israeli Embassy and various other buildings full of Kafir who want to wage war against us Muslims.\" When Macke asked him why he would plot such an attack, he said \"Obama is an enemy of Allah, therefore an enemy of us, of Islamic State.\" He said his plan for an attack on the U.S. Capitol was retaliation for \"the continued American aggression against our people and the fact that America, specifically President Obama, wants to wage war against Islamic State.\" Cornell told Macke he was planning what would have been a \"major attack\" to take place in Washington on September 20, repeatedly referring to himself as a member of ISIS. \"I'm with the Islamic State,\" he said at one point. \"I have connections with many brothers over there. We've been corresponding for quite some time now, actually. The FBI finally caught on this past year.\" Cornell told Macke that he used \"encrypted messaging\" to communicate with ISIS members. He said they discussed \"how we should wage jihad in America. We should form our own groups and alliances with the Islamic State,\" he continued.

+{"article": "(CNN)In 1796, in his final annual address to Congress, President George Washington called for the creation of: . \"...a National University; and also a Military Academy. The desirableness of both these Institutions, has so constantly increased with every new view I have taken of the subject, that I cannot omit the opportunity of once for all, recalling your attention to them.\" The Military Academy was soon built at West Point. But despite leaving $22,222 for its establishment (a lot of money back then) in his last will and testament, Washington's National University never came to pass. Instead, lawmakers chose to rely on state governments and religious denominations to build and finance new colleges and universities. Today, the American higher education system is in crisis. The price of college has grown astronomically, forcing students and parents to take out loans that now exceed $1.2 trillion in outstanding debt. Many of those loans are falling into default as graduates struggle to find work. The latest research suggests that our vaunted universities are producing graduates who haven't learned very much. The time has come to revive George Washington's great idea, in 21st century form. Advances in information technology that would have seemed like pure magic in colonial times mean we can now create a 21st Century National University that will help millions of students get a high-quality, low-cost college education \u2014 without hiring any professors, building any buildings or costing the taxpayers a dime. To see how, it helps to understand the three ways the federal government currently supports higher education. Two of them are well known. First, the Defense Department, National Institutes of Health, and other federal agencies spend hundreds of billions of dollars financing university-based research, contributing to countless scientific breakthroughs and commercial innovations. Second, the U.S. Department of Education provides $150 billion annually in grants and loans to help students pay for college. As tuitions rise and states continue to slash funding for public universities (Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker recently proposed $300 million in new cuts), the federal government has become the college financier of last resort. But there is a third essential federal role in higher education that is far less well known. In many ways, it's the most important of them all, and the key to creating a 21st Century National University. In addition to funding colleges, the federal government approves colleges. It does this through a little-understood process called accreditation. To be eligible for those billions of research and financial aid dollars, colleges must be accredited. Technically, accreditors are nonprofit organizations run by consortia of existing colleges. But in order to make a college eligible for federal money, accreditors must first be approved by the federal government. Without that approval and the money that goes along with it, both colleges and accreditors would immediately close up shop. In other words, Uncle Sam ultimately decides who gets to be an American college and grant college degrees. So, here's the big idea: In order to build a 21st Century National University, all the federal government has to do is something very", "summary": "In 1796, Washington called for a national university and even left money behind to fund it .

However, for the 37-year-old owner of Surf Simply, a surfing resort in Nosara, the sport was an early love that blossomed later in life. He first paddled out to the big blue when he was a teenager, but his professional life took a different turn when he embarked on a fine art degree in London. In the end, the pull of the waves was too strong and Hill decamped to Costa Rica with a goal to create a surfing school with a difference. \"I wanted to create a really intimate space that was a long way away from the putting the lots of people in the water kind of business model that surf schools often are. I wanted to just have a few people, 12 people each week, and then this area is somewhere where they can completely decompress and just focus on being coached how to surf better,\" he says. A large chunk of the school's training is devoted to theory classes, and Hill also films his students while they're surfing so that he can show them what aspects of their technique they need to improve: \"The first time you see yourself surfing, it's kind of mortifying. It's a little bit like hearing yourself sing for the first time. But, like most sports, it's the best coaching tool we have,\" he says. Hill's fine art credentials have not gone to waste though, as his creative training helped him design the website as well as the resort logo. While following his passion for surfing was important, Hill stresses that figuring out how to make money out of it was equally significant. \"The business side of it has to work, the numbers have to make sense. Otherwise, what you've got is a brilliant hobby that's not a business,\" he says. Hill says that, while he feels fortunate that his work fulfills him, it still involves ordinary tasks that can sometimes be mundane. \"I don't think anyone is going to find a job that they love all the time, but if you can find something that you love most of the time, you're luckier than most people in the world.\"", "summary": "Ru Hill trained in fine art in London .

+{"article": "(CNN)Australian cricket great Shane Warne has been criticized for promoting an unhealthy drinking culture, following post-match interviews at cricket's World Cup final in which he repeatedly quizzed players about their drinking plans. Acting as part of the commentary team for Australian broadcaster Channel Nine, Warne interviewed the victorious Australian players at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the wake of their comfortable win over New Zealand. Broadcast live and amplified throughout the stadium, the exchanges -- in which Warne seemed preoccupied with how much the players planned to drink -- prompted a backlash on social media using the hashtag \"#thirsty.\" To wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, Warne asked: \"You feeling thirsty?\" He continued the theme with Steve Smith, asking: \"What about you, gonna have a bit of a drink tonight too Smitty? Gonna get thirsty as well? The boys are thirsty they seem.\" Shane Watson and Josh Hazlewood were subjected to a similar line of questioning: . \"So what's the plan, besides lots of drink and that, how long's that gonna last? Just one night, two nights?\" asked Warne. The comments sparked an immediate reaction on Twitter, with users criticizing Warne for setting a poor example to young cricket fans, and one labeling him a \"bogan\" -- Australasian slang for an unsophisticated person -- for his line of questioning. Some Twitter users played on Warne's publicized fondness for the Tinder dating app, which has seen the former cricketer hit the headlines in recent times. Not all responses were critical, with British journalist Piers Morgan among those coming to Warne's defense. Warne, a noted bon vivant who was often photographed with drink in hand after wins during his playing days, took to Twitter to tell his detractors to \"get stuffed.\" Warne's interviews provoked further discussion on Australian television Monday when, on the \"Today\" show, Channel Nine presenter David Campbell criticized the example he set. \"I hate this,\" he said. \"There is a stadium full of young men and women who look up to these guys, and it would have been nice if one of those cricketers was accountable enough to say 'Nothing will be better than what I did on this field, Warnie'.\" \"We can't sit around here... going 'We have a drinking problem' and then sit there and celebrate that.\" The boozy indiscretions of professional athletes often make the news in Australia, although players from the footballing codes of rugby union, rugby league and Australian rules are more commonly in the spotlight. Members of the successful Australian team partied late into the night Sunday, with coach Darren Lehmann tweeting a picture of team members celebrating in their uniforms as the sun came up, with drinks in hand. Warne's inquiries about the team's plans to celebrate were apparently not in vain. At about 3 a.m. he posted a picture on Instagram of himself holding the World Cup trophy alongside Australian captain Michael Clarke, the latter with a drink at his side.", "summary": "Australian cricket legend Shane Warne is criticized for post-match interview questions .

The measure, which passed 18 to 10, will be sent to Gov. Gary Herbert, who has not said whether he will sign it into law or veto the bill. Herbert released a statement on the legislation, which would add death by firing squad as an option in a state that uses lethal injection. \"Our statute is clear that lethal injection is the method by which (an execution) will happen. We have no intent to change that,\" he said. The law would give the state the option to use a five-member squad in cases where the drugs necessary for lethal injection aren't available 30 days before the date set for the execution. \"Our state, as is the case with states around the country, is finding it increasingly difficult to obtain the substances required to perform a lethal injection. We are dedicated to pursuing all reasonable and legal options to obtain those substances to make sure that, when required, we are in a position to carry out this very serious sentence by lethal injection,\" the governor said. Eight people are on Utah's death row. Utah banned death by firing squad in 2004, though inmates who chose that option before the law changed still ended up being shot to death. The last execution by firing squad was in 2010, and it was also the most recent execution in Utah. A Utah firing squad also executed Gary Gilmore in 1977, the first death by capital punishment after the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty the prior year. In recent years, states have struggled to maintain a supply of lethal injection drugs as manufacturers either stopped producing the drugs or barred their use in executions. Texas nearly out of execution drug . The European manufacturers of pentobarbital, an anesthetic, explicitly banned U.S. prisons from using its drug in executions. Some states have sought out substitutes or gone with one drug instead of the traditional three-drug cocktail.

Clayton Lockett, a convicted rapist and murderer, writhed and convulsed after the drugs were administered. It took 43 minutes for him to die. Last week, Georgia postponed an execution because the drugs appeared \"cloudy.\" The state also indefinitely postponed at least one other execution until it can analyze the cocktail it uses for the procedures, officials said.

A woman's lapis-colored sari swishes past you in the golden-colored dusk. You've been here since morning. A tourist extends a hand with a crumpled paper bill. You try to lift your hand to accept, but you can't. The muscles are paralyzed, and your mind can't command them to move. You use your knee to balance your arm and grasp the rupee. Then you use your foot to pick up your bag and head home for the day. This is everyday life for Bipin Kumar. Kumar, known as BK, contracted polio as a child, and he has learned to adapt to how he moves and lives. Kumar has no brothers or father to provide for him, so he moved to New Delhi 10 years ago to pursue the only means of income he could -- begging on the streets. Photographer Elena del Estal was in India last year when the World Health Organization announced that polio had officially been eradicated from the country. It had been exactly three years since the last contracted case. Del Estal was fascinated by this. She couldn't help but wonder about those already living with the crippling effects of this horrible disease. She traveled to a small village near Kolkata to meet a little girl who was India's last case of polio. This gave her the inspiration to begin a long-term project on those suffering in a country that's now \"polio-free.\" First she met a boy named Dharmender who lived in Uttar Pradesh, a state in northern India. Even though his village was poor, his family took good care of him. Del Estal spent time with him and accompanied him during a surgical procedure in New Delhi. She said that while Dharmender is very fortunate to have the opportunity for surgery, he will still never have a \"normal\" life. \"His daily life is hard. ...

February's record cold temperatures are to blame for the shortage of fish ingredients, reported Erica Marcus, a food writer at Newsday, the Long Island, New York, newspaper. \"The traditional Passover appetizer is made from ground whitefish, carp and yellow pike,\" Marcus wrote. \"All three are freshwater fish from the Upper Midwest, and all three are in short supply this spring because the Great Lakes are still covered with ice.\" While some restaurants reported having no supply issues, it may be a different story for the home cook. There's great debate within the Jewish community about the flavor of the classic gefilte fish dish, which isn't always the tastiest food at the table. \"I've never seen what all the fuss is about,\" Marcus told CNN. \"It's about as challenging a taste as tuna fish salad.\" The fishing boats just can't sail or fish on frozen lakes. Many of the Great Lakes are still partially frozen over, according to fisheries expert Ronald Kinnunen, an educator with Michigan State University's Sea Grant Extension Program. \"Nobody's getting their fishing boats out,\" Kinnunen said. \"I'm looking at the satellite images and Lake Superior's half covered in ice,\" he said.

Police officers Capt. Rick Henke and Sgt. William Mudd resigned Thursday over the emails discovered during the U.S. Department of Justice investigation of racial prejudice in the city's police and judicial system, city spokesman Jeff Small said on Friday, citing the city attorney. The city's top court clerk, Mary Ann Twitty, was fired earlier this week in connection with the emails, Small said. Several employees forwarded the emails but until now none had been disciplined, the report said. Examples of the racist emails include one sent in October 2011 that 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 and for Police Chief Thomas Jackson to resign. In a Friday interview with CNN's Sara Sidner, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles said Jackson was not copied on any of the emails. When asked if Jackson and the city manager may be fired, Knowles said, \"We're going to do our due diligence and hold people accountable.\" Knowles also said he doesn't think the department will be disbanded. When asked about what happens next in Ferguson, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday, \"We are prepared to use all the power that we have, all the power that we have to ensure that the situation changes there. And that means everything from working with them to coming up with an entirely new structure.\" When a reporter asked if that included dismantling the police force, Holder replied, \"If that's what's necessary then we are prepared to do that.\" Holder ordered the investigation after a white police officer, Darren Wilson, shot and killed black teenager Michael Brown last summer, setting off months of sometimes violent street protests in the town outside St. Louis. The DOJ declined to bring charges against Wilson, who has since left the force. No state charges were filed either. In a separate report, the Justice Department described what it said was a \"pattern and practice\" of discrimination against African-Americans by the Ferguson police and municipal courts.

From 2012 to 2014, 85% of people subject to vehicle stops by Ferguson police were African-American, 90% of those who received citations were black, and 93% of people arrested were black. In 88% of the cases in which Ferguson police officers reported using force, it was against African-Americans.

The BBC documentary featured an interview with one of the men convicted in an infamous 2012 gang rape case in New Delhi that sparked massive outrage and protests in India. An Indian court restricted the publication and airing of the film in India as well as the dissemination of excerpts from it after comments by Mukesh Singh, the interviewed convict, were released in several media outlets. Singh appeared to show no remorse and blamed the rape victim for being out at night, according to the documentary. The government has also asked Google to remove excerpts of the film from video sharing site YouTube. A Google India spokeswoman, Paroma Roy Chowdhury, said it would comply on the Indian YouTube site, \"as we are required to do so by the local law.\" A statement from the company read: \"While we believe that access to information is the foundation of a free society, and that services like YouTube help people express themselves and share different points of view, we continue to remove content that is illegal or violates our community guidelines, once notified.\" Udwin told CNN the restrictions appear to have been motivated by fear of \"public disorder.\" \"I presume they mean protests,\" she said. It was, in fact, the street protests, not the brutality of the crime, that first inspired Udwin to make the film. But Udwin, who spent 16 hours interviewing Singh in prison over the course of three days, said the experience was chilling. \"He told me everything that happened that night, he told me everything about his attitudes towards society, women, hanging, all sorts...

They are programmed, they are brainwashed. The society itself tells girls to stay indoors after dark.\" Udwin said she had done everything she could to elicit a human response from Singh. She even had a list of the girl's horrific rape-inflicted injuries, from which she died, read to him in Hindi while she recorded his face. \"There were a few twitches but there was no remorse, there was no emotion, I don't think he is capable of emotion,\" she said.

Martin Scorsese is filming his latest opus \"Silence\" there, and French director Luc Besson chose Taipei over seven other Asian cities for his sci-fi thriller \"Lucy,\" starring Scarlett Johansson. And this May \"The Walking Dead\" star Andrew Lincoln will begin filming in the city for a movie project. Tasked with attracting international film makers, Jennifer Jao, head of the Taipei Film Commission, said that 92 foreign film crews shot in the city last year, up from 56 in 2013. \"We hope the whole island can be like a big studio,\" she told CNN while in Hong Kong Thursday. It wasn't always this way. For years, Taiwan, while home to acclaimed filmmakers like Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao-hsien, was overlooked in favor of its ritzier neighbors Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo. And even when Hollywood came knocking, the city didn't always have its act together. The producers of \"Mission Impossible III,\" released in 2006, had wanted to film at Taipei 101, at that time the world's tallest skyscraper. But faced with red tape and reluctance, they ended up choosing the 53-story Shanghai Bank of China Tower for Tom Cruise's memorable bungee jump. \"We lost an opportunity for the world to get to know Taipei,\" says Jao. Jao's commission was set up in 2008 to court international film makers but it wasn't until director Ang Lee, who was born in Taiwan, filmed the Oscar-winning hit \"Life of Pi\" on the island that it began to earn a reputation as an accommodating and affordable place to shoot. Lee filmed the memorable and technically difficult scenes of a shipwrecked boy and a tiger at a purpose-built facility at abandoned airport in the Taiwanese city of Taichung. With its relatively unknown cityscape, Taiwan can also function as a generic Asian backdrop. The island, which was a Japanese colony, is already being used as a stand-in for Japan. Japanese director Takashi Miike used Taiwan's high-speed rail system in a bullet-strewn action sequence for crime drama \"Shield of Straw,\" which competed at the Cannes International Film Festival. Japanese rail authorities turned him away. And Scorsese's \"Silence,\" due to release in 2016, is a historic drama about two Jesuit priests who travel to Japan.

+{"article": "(CNN)The massive meteorite split in two shortly before smashing into Earth, wiping out large numbers of species. The devastating event took place on our planet many millions of years ago, but researchers are only now beginning to discover what happened. In a remote part of Central Australia, the two pieces of asteroid left what geophysicists say is the largest impact zone ever found on Earth, spreading over an area 400 kilometers (250 miles) wide. \"The two asteroids must each have been over 10 kilometers across -- it would have been curtains for many life species on the planet at the time,\" said lead researcher Andrew Glikson of the Australian National University. The team published its research in the journal Tectonophysics this month. The crater caused by the asteroids vanished long ago. But Glikson said the researchers stumbled across scars from the impacts during drilling for geothermal research. Traces are buried more than 2 kilometers inside the Earth's crust, under an area near the borders of South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory. \"There are two huge deep domes in the crust, formed by the Earth's crust rebounding after the huge impacts, and bringing up rock from the mantle below,\" Glikson said. The researchers are still trying to figure out just how long ago the shattering event happened. The surrounding rocks are 300 million to 600 million years old, according to the team, but they haven't been able to find the sort of evidence left by other meteorite strikes. A big meteorite strike that is believed to have led to the extinction of many dinosaur species 66 million years ago launched a plume of ash into the air that now shows up as a layer of sediment in rocks. But the researchers say they haven't come across a similar layer in sediments from about 300 million years ago. \"It's a mystery -- we can't find an extinction event that matches these collisions. I have a suspicion the impact could be older than 300 million years,\" Glikson said.

According to the company, by the end of 2015, none of a group of 250 chocolate products including Butterfinger and Baby Ruth will contain artificial flavors or colors such as Red #40 or Yellow #5. With the expectation that these chemicals will also disappear from the company's other candies, it looks like the end of the use of artificial flavors and colors in anything but the cheapest food products. If that proves to be the case, it will be a welcome shift. Nestle USA intends to advertise the reformulated products with a \"No artificial flavors or colors\" claim on package labels. If sales of the \"no artificial\" candies grow as expected, the company will surely extend the removal to all of its other colored and flavored food products. After all, Nestle's international parent company -- and the company's competitors -- will have to take notice and find ways to remove these chemicals from all their product lines. Nestle USA has undeniable clout. It accounts for a quarter of the $100 billion in annual revenues of the more than century-old, privately held parent corporation, which itself is the largest food company in the world. This move surely will not only reverberate through the candy industry, but also affect every other major food company. In substituting natural for artificial flavors and colors, Nestle USA is responding to what its customers are saying. The company's own research indicates that Americans prefer their beloved candy brands to be free of artificial flavors and colors, while other surveys find majorities of respondents saying that artificial chemical additives negatively influence their buying decisions. 7 chemicals in your food . Nestle is also responding to decades of complaints from consumer advocates about the potential health risks of these chemicals, especially the dyes. Studies in experimental animals have linked high doses of food dyes to health problems, among them organ damage, cancer, birth defects, and allergic reactions. In humans, studies link food dyes to hyperactivity and other behavioral problems in young children. The credibility of these studies and their implications for human health remain hotly debated. In the 1970s, for example, Ben Feingold, a physician in California, suggested that food additives caused children to become hyperactive. Much of the evidence for the \"Feingold hypothesis\" rested on anecdotal reports by parents, whereas double-blind, controlled clinical trials produced contradictory results. On the basis of current evidence, some artificial food dyes have been banned, while others remain in use despite suggestions that they too might be harmful. But the makers and users of food dyes argue that the chemicals are safe at current levels of usage. As a result of all this, and in the absence of convincing evidence of their safety, the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest has campaigned since the 1970s to remove food dyes and other chemicals from foods, and has continued to petition the", "summary": "Nestle USA plans to remove all artificial flavors and colors from its chocolate candies .

Gowdy had also asked that Clinton turn over her server to the State Department inspector general for an independent review. Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall, said no.

Clinton has asked that those roughly 30,000 emails be released to the public.

Gowdy said it wasn't clear when Clinton erased the server, but it appears to have been wiped after October 2014, when the State Department asked Clinton to return her official emails to the department. The chairman subpoenaed Clinton's emails regarding Libya and, last month, the State Department turned over about 300 emails to the committee. Clinton did not have an official government email account, so her personal server was the primary repository for her emails during her time as secretary of state. \"Not only was the secretary the sole arbiter of what was a public record, she also summarily decided to delete all emails from her server, ensuring no one could check behind her analysis in the public interest,\" Gowdy said. But in his letter, Kendall said the federal law governing record retention requires that each federal employee individually decide what emails must be preserved. \"The manner in which Secretary Clinton assisted the State Department in fulfilling its responsibilities under the act is consistent with the obligations of every federal employee,\" Kendall wrote.

The verdict was reached after eight days of trial testimony examining whether Robin Thicke's and Pharrell Williams' \"Blurred Lines,\" one of the most successful songs of the young century, was improperly drawn from a soulful hallmark from the prior one \u2014 Marvin Gaye's 1977 hit \"Got to Give It Up.\" Ultimately, a jury comprised of five women and three men heard dueling opinions regarding \"Blurred Lines\" and decided to order Thicke and Williams to pay $4 million in copyright damages plus profits attributable to infringement, which for Thicke was determined to be $1.8 million and for Williams was determined to be $1.6 million. Both escaped statutory damages as the infringement was found not to be willful. Read more: Robin Thicke sues to protect 'Blurred Lines' from Marvin Gaye's family (exclusive) The hardly predictable outcome over a song that made more than $16 million in profits will resonate in the music industry where copyright lawsuits are commonplace, but few such suits ever make it to trial. Most never get past the summary judgment phase because judges carefully draw the line on any lawsuits alleging misappropriation of non-protectable ideas. The highest profile disputes like the one between Tom Petty and Sam Smith over \"Stay With Me\" usually settle. Not only did the \"Blurred Lines\" case go the distance, both sides brought esteemed entertainment litigators to convince the jury. Howard King, representing Thicke, Williams and rapper T.I (a.k.a. Clifford Harris Jr.), spoke how artists need wide berth in their creative pursuits. During opening arguments, he told the jury, \"We're going to show you what you already know: that no one owns a genre or a style or a groove. To be inspired by Marvin Gaye is an honorable thing.\" Over the next week-and-a-half, King would execute a two-pronged strategy: First, he emphasized that Frankie and Nona Gaye only owned compositional elements in the \"Got to Give It Up\" sheet music, leaving out more recognizable elements of the recording like the percussion and singing. Second, he had witnesses testifying both to the differences of \"Blurred Lines\" and \"Got To Give It Up\" as well as the similarities in other famous songs. The case has been tough on Thicke thanks to depositions revealing he lied in media interviews and was drunk and high on Vicodin. But the singer attempted to do himself a favor by showcasing that songs can be stitched together with ease and that perceptions about similarity can be deceiving. On the witness stand, he sang a medley of U2's \"With Or Without You,\" The Beatles' \"Let It Be,\" Alphaville's \"Forever Young,\" Bob Marley's \"No Woman No Cry\" and Michael Jackson's \"Man In the Mirror.\" Read more: Robin Thicke admits drug abuse, lying to media in wild \"Blurred Lines\" deposition (exclusive) Williams also testified about his song creation process, admitting to jurors that \"Blurred Lines\" channels \"that '70s feeling\" and that he looked up to Gaye, but", "summary": "Marvin Gaye's family sued over similarities between 'Blurred Lines' and 'Got to Give It Up' A jury has awarded the family $7.4 million in the suit .

+{"article": "(CNN)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent speech to the U.S. Congress has received disproportionate media attention across the world: the leader of America's most important client state in the Middle East defies the reservations of the White House, abusing Congress as a platform for his Israeli election campaign. Disregarding Israel's already strained bilateral relations with the United States, Netanyahu readily risked the consequences of humiliating the Obama administration in exchange for less than an hour of political self-manifestation -- typical for a man who is domestically known to be not much of a statesman. Netanyahu is a charismatic speaker and a passionate Israel-advocate, however, his personal and political interests have always taken precedence over serving Israel's national interests. Political survival has been the maxim of his domestic and foreign policies. Netanyahu joins a long list of Israeli politicians overwhelmed by the plurality and polarization of domestic public opinion. So far he has been just another Israeli leader seeking \"easy\" short-term answers to fundamentally strategic problems, thereby further protracting an already protracted conflict. As a puppet of ideological, conservative playmakers who whole-heartedly reject a two-state solution, Netanyahu has been held hostage by the likes of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Economy Minister Naftali Bennett who pursue a discriminatory policy of sectarian segregation intending to contain Palestinian public dissidence through mere coercion. Consequently, Netanyahu's foreign policy vis-\u00e0-vis the peace process has been a disaster. He took over from Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni -- two politicians who at least believed in a two-state solution and were ready to make sacrifices to keep the peace process alive. Israeli leaders typically fall into two categories: those who believe in peace and those that have the power to make peace. Olmert was the former, and Netanyahu long seemed like he could become the latter. In reality, however, Netanyahu is neither. He has given in to a toxic form of Jewish nationalism, disregarded Israel's relatively good regional position vis-\u00e0-vis its otherwise-occupied Arab neighbors; he has continued to build settlements out of spite, thought of ever new preconditions for bilateral negotiations with the Palestinians and waged a ruthless war against Gaza without a clear strategic endgame -- a war that was lost militarily and in terms of international reputation. Apart from the tragic effects of Netanyahu's policy on the peace process, his stubbornness has alienated allies in Europe and Washington. While the Arab world has been widely apathetic about the Israel-Palestinian issue amid regional disintegration, partners on both sides of the Atlantic have tried to facilitate the revitalization of constructive peace talks. Yet, Netanyahu chose to ignore external initiatives, retracting to a Jewish nationalist rhetoric founded on security paranoia, self-victimization and the illusion of Israeli autarky in security and defense. As a consequence, Israel's foreign relations with its most important strategic partners have noticeably cooled. Obama's Middle Eastern focus has shifted from the Israel/Palestinian issue to a rapprochement with Iran. European lawmakers are considering recognizing Palestinian statehood despite Israeli objections. More importantly, many traditionally pro-Israel Western publics have turned their back on the Jewish state. Younger generations in particular", "summary": "Political survival has been maxim of Netanyahu's domestic and foreign policies, says Andreas Krieg .

Among the evidence: A piece of paper, hidden in a bicycle handlebar, that listed businesses that the crime syndicate was extorting, according to the Carabinieri, Italy's military police. The Carabinieri said they made the arrests while raiding homes in 11 provinces. The crime network is based in Casal di Principe, a village roughly 20 kilometers (12 miles) northwest of Naples, police said. The mafia network extorted shop owners to the tune of 200,000 euros a month and extorted operators of slot machines and online gambling a further 100,000 euros monthly, the Carabinieri said. The arrests stem from an investigation that started in October 2012. Investigators also found notebooks with the group's organizational chart and names of jailed associates who still were on the mafia payroll, according to the Carabinieri. The note in the bicycle handlebar was among other \"pizzini,\" or little pieces of paper allegedly used by mafia members to exchange information, that investigators discovered in the probe, the military police said.

Sporting ability has been transformed into lasting celebrity by footballers like Pele and David Beckham and NBA star Michael Jordan. At the age of 30 -- and with the fastest car in the world at his fingertips -- Hamilton is at the peak of his powers. During Sunday's season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, millions of hardcore Hamilton fans will bite their fingernails and hold their breath when their hero returns to the track in his Mercedes racing car. But will the Briton's quest for a third world title in 2015 even register with the average Joe? Half a billion TV viewers watch F1 across the year, a figure which pales in comparison with the 4.7 billion football fans who watch the English Premier League over the course of a season. Jon Stainer, managing director of leading sport and entertainment market research company Repucom, argues that Hamilton, however, is already gaining wider recognition. \"On a global scale Lewis already sits in the top half of all celebrities across sport, arts and music,\" he told CNN. Repucom monitors celebrity trends by a monthly survey of the general public where 5,000 famous faces are rated according to certain parameters. Those who rank in their study of the world's top-20 faces includes actors Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio, singers Madonna and Jennifer Lopez, footballer Beckham and Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates. \"We look at celebrity awareness and other metrics like likeability, whether they are seen as trendsetters, the level of trust people place in them and whether people aspire to have a life like that celebrity. \"We are starting to see Lewis go beyond the traditional Formula One audience into the mainstream audience. \"Some of that is spurred on by his on-off relationship with [former girlfriend] Nicole Scherzinger. Those stories put him in the headlines beyond the back pages.\" Hamilton split from popstar and TV personality Scherzinger for the fourth time in February after a seesawing seven-year relationship. He may no longer be one half of motorsport's \"Posh And Becks\" but he's not been shy of socializing with stars from other spheres. Just 10 days before the Australian GP, Hamilton was partying at Paris Fashion Week with musician and producer Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian. Mixing with celebrity friends has raised Hamilton's profile, and for some of his fans that is part of his appeal, but there is also a danger of alienating his petrolhead devotees. The famous friends, bright red private jet -- complete with traveling pampered pooches Roscoe and Coco -- and forays into song writing might be at odds with the perceived image of a feisty F1 world champion. Marketing expert Steve Martin, who worked with Hamilton in his role as CEO of M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment, warned the driver's lifestyle could be \"a bit showy.\" \"I'm not sure if in any walk of life people like showy people,\" he told CNN. \"And so why should that be different", "summary": "Lewis Hamilton is starting to reach beyond the traditional Formula One audience .

Years later, Price realized the power of biking to change lives. During a 1982 mountain biking trip in northern California, Price reached a point on the trail where she could see all of San Francisco. Looking out at the city, she thought of the children she met while volunteering at a soup kitchen there. And it hit her: She wanted to give them the same experience. \"There's nothing like biking up a mountain and looking behind you to see all you've accomplished,\" she said. Price has since helped more than 25,000 at-risk children from the San Francisco Bay Area get off urban streets and into nature through her nonprofit, Trips for Kids. Do you know a hero?

Today, Trips for Kids has expanded to 90 chapters around the world, serving more than 15,000 children each year. See more CNN Heroes . CNN's Allie Torgan spoke with Price about the impact of her efforts. Below is an edited version of their conversation. CNN: For many of the young people in your program, this is their first time on a mountain bike. How do they react? Marilyn Price: Many of them have never really left the city. To them, life is automobiles and buildings. Everything is concrete. But you bring them where there are no buildings, no cars, it is like, \"Wow! I didn't know that this exists.\" I think we're planting a seed that there are alternatives to getting into trouble. They can get on a bike and go to a place that is very much unlike where they live and do something positive. It's giving them the notion that there is something else. CNN: And their experience goes beyond bike trips. What else do you offer? Price: The second is our Earn-a-Bike program, where kids in the community come after school. They learn bike mechanics, and while they're participating they are earning credit. They can use it to buy bikes or parts. They're buying bikes for themselves, for their parents or siblings.

+{"article": "(CNN)More than two decades as a judge, prosecutor and defense lawyer could not prepare Susan Criss for the Texas murder trial of millionaire Robert Durst. The aftermath of the sensational 2003 trial of the scion of a New York real estate empire in many ways upended the life of the 54-year-old Galveston County-born lawyer who presided over the case. Durst admitted at trial that he killed neighbor Morris Black in Galveston and chopped up the body. There was the awkward encounter with Durst in an upscale Houston mall in 2005. Durst had already been acquitted after his attorneys argued that he killed Black in self-defense. Or the time, month's later, when the severed head of a cat was left near the doorstep of Criss' home. Criss said she believes Durst was behind it but admits police found no evidence. Fearing for her life, Criss said she stashed handguns throughout her house in case of a home intrusion. She put away the butcher knives in her kitchen. There was the strange instant message that she said brought FBI agents and surveillance cameras to her home. \"I've been living with this,\" the former judge said in an interview Friday. \"It's affected me in many, many ways.\" The emotions came rushing back when Durst -- the focus of HBO's true crime documentary series \"The Jinx\" -- was charged with first-degree murder this week in the 2000 killing of his longtime confidante, Susan Berman. Durst's lawyer has denied his client was involved in Berman's death. \"Everything he does is totally unexpected,\" she said. Durst, 71, appeared to be preparing for life on the run when FBI agents arrested him in a New Orleans hotel on Saturday. In his room, agents found more than $40,000 in cash, a handgun, marijuana and a neck-to-head latex mask to alter his appearance. He's being held on drug and weapons charges in Louisiana as he awaits extradition to Los Angeles. The last time Durst was accused of murder was in Galveston. Though he was acquitted in the death of his neighbor, Durst later served nine months in prison on felony weapons charges stemming from that case. Days before Christmas 2005, Criss ran into the man whose real estate developer family is among New York's wealthiest at Houston's The Galleria mall. Durst, who was on parole at the time, was on his cellphone. He had his head down. \"I was glad because I could get my composure,\" Criss recalled. It was the first time Criss had seen Durst outside court, \"in the free world,\" as she put it. \"I needed to not show any fear,\" she remembered thinking. \"I got my poker face on.\" \"Hey, I know you,\" she said Durst told her. He appeared startled and dropped his phone. Fumbling to pick up the pieces of his phone, Durst said, \"You're Judge Criss. I did not recognize you without the robe,\" she recalled. \"How are you doing, Bob.\" Durst told her that he couldn't believe she stopped to talk to him. \"I have a job to do but it's not personal.\"", "summary": "Former Texas judge says Durst case \"affected me in many, many ways\" Durst is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of his longtime friend in 2000 ."}
+{"article": "(CNN)Two days after Odin Lloyd was found dead, New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez looked into the eyes of team owner Robert Kraft and said he was innocent, Kraft testified Tuesday in Hernandez's murder trial. Kraft, answering questions from a prosecutor and one of Hernandez's attorneys on the witness stand in a Massachusetts courtroom, recalled a private conversation that he had with the star Patriots tight end on June 19, at the Patriots' Gillette Stadium, as news spread that Hernandez was being investigated in Lloyd's death. \"He said he was not involved,\" Kraft testified in the courtroom in Fall River. \"He said he was innocent.\" Hernandez has been charged with murder and has pleaded not guilty to orchestrating the death of Lloyd, a semipro football player who was found dead in Massachusetts on June 17, 2013. Hernandez also has pleaded not guilty to a gun and ammunition charge. His co-defendants, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, also pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately. Kraft testified that he asked to speak with Hernandez in an office near a weight room in the stadium, and asked the player to look him in the eye and tell him if he was involved in Lloyd's death. According to Kraft, Hernandez told him during that meeting that he hoped the time of Lloyd's death \"came out,\" because Hernandez had been at a club that night. According to testimony from Hernandez's fianc\u00e9e, Shayanna Jenkins, the player had not been at a club, but was at dinner with her and some friends before the shooting. Mel Robbins, a CNN legal analyst, called Kraft's testimony \"explosive.\" \"What a great, great witness for the prosecution,\" she 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.\" How did Hernandez know when the murder happened, Robbins asked, unless he was there? The Patriots' owner also testified, when asked by a defense attorney, that he'd never had any problems with Hernandez, and that the player was always respectful to him. The billionaire magnate of The Kraft Group, a company with interests ranging from paper and packaging concerns to sports and entertainment, said Hernandez always greeted him with a hug and kiss.

+{"article": "Boston (CNN)She knew something awful had happened. It was smoky and all she could hear were muffled screams. Her foot was turned sideways and her legs wouldn't work right. And her good friend, Krystle Campbell, was just lying there on the ground. Karen Rand -- she's Karen McWatters now -- dragged herself across the pavement. She wanted to get closer to Krystle so they could talk and take comfort from each other in the midst of so much chaos. \"I got close to her, \" she recalled. \"For some reason, I got close to her head and we put our faces together.\" Krystle said that her legs hurt. They were the last words she'd speak. The two women held hands until Krystle's went limp. McWatters was the fifth witness of the first day of the terror trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is accused of detonating pressure cooker bombs with his brother to punish the United States for policies they believe inflict suffering on Muslims. Three people were killed in the blasts: Campbell, a 29-year-old manager for a restaurant chain; Martin Richard, an 8-year-old boy; and Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old grad student. More than 250 others were injured. And the first day of the trial -- after opening statements -- revolved around a number of survivors of the attack, who recounted in detail the chaos of that day. Prosecutors called them to the stand to paint a picture of the havoc and pain the bombings inflicted. Tsarnaev's attorneys chose not to cross-examine any of the survivors. McWatters fought her emotions as she looked at a photograph that showed her and her friend of eight years lying amid a heap of dazed and broken people. Their two faces, side by side, stand out among the jumble of limbs. Krystle's mouth is open, but she is very pale. \"I was really scared,\" McWatters testified, \"and I remember screaming for someone to help us.

+{"article": "(CNN)It looks like the Republicans in Congress have failed again. House Republicans defeated a plan pushed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to fund the Department of Homeland Security, money that congressional Republicans have been holding hostage in their effort to overturn President Obama's executive order on immigration. McConnell proposed that there would be a separate vote on the immigration issue. When Speaker John Boehner proposed an even narrower compromise, funding the Department for only three more weeks, his caucus said no. The final bill provides funding for one more week, at which point Congress needs to take up the issue again. Yet from a different perspective, congressional Republicans are achieving their goal. Once again they are using up a valuable chunk of President Obama's political time. Congress has already squandered several months rather than addressing bigger questions, such as economic inequality or climate change, which the White House hoped to put at the center of political debate even if the Republicans refused to do anything about these problems. While the odds of the president making progress on key issues is extremely slim, President Obama has not even had a chance to introduce issues fully into public debate -- a key function of presidents who hope to build the groundwork for future legislative breakthroughs and shape the national conversation -- or to even to attempt to make progress on issues, like tax reform, where there is potential support for a bipartisan breakthrough. Using up the legislative clock has been central to the Republican strategy since the 2010 midterm elections, a tactic that the Democrats have found difficult to fight back against. The strategy has been pretty straightforward. Each time that President Obama tried to introduce a new issue to the nation, whether that has to do with immigration reform or economic inequality, Republicans have instantly shifted public attention elsewhere by threatening extreme action on some other area of policy. This is what Republicans did in 2010 and 2011 when they warned that they would not raise the debt limit ceiling if Democrats did not accede to their budget demands. Congress spent many months wrangling over the budget as they faced the real possibility of the federal government going into default. This was all that anyone in Washington was talking about. The GOP did the same with the threat of a government shutdown. Even though the possibility of repealing the Affordable Care Act is remote, Republicans keep bringing it up for a debate, forcing Democrats to defend the program and spending more time on a proposal that nobody really thinks stands a chance of passing. The \"tea party\" faction of the House Republicans has been pivotal to this strategy as was clear this week. Since they have shown repeatedly that they are willing to employ the most extreme measures to defend their principles, and that they won't allow Boehner to rein them in for \"practical\" political considerations, Democrats can't afford to take the threats lightly.

The video, widely shared on social media, also depicted the group of men chanting: \"We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it.\" The man in the video was blocked several times from boarding the train and shoved off at least twice. He was later identified as Souleymane S, a 33-year-old Parisian on his way home from work.

All but one of the Christians released were part of a group of 220 Assyrians captured last week during offensives on northern Syrian villages, said the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. In the shadow of its sadistic mercilessness, the sudden reversal leaves many asking: Why? The group has not explained its decision. Here are some possible answers. It was not a militant commander but an ISIS Sharia judge, said Osama Edward, who heads the Assyrian Human Rights Network, based in Sweden. Some of Edward's family members are among the captured Christians. His rights group keeps contact with local people, via phone and Internet, and has a field team in Syria, he said. The Sharia judge asked the Christians if they were part of any militia, Edward said. Then he pronounced them not guilty of violating Sharia law and ordered them released. The Assyrian Christians were all from the village of Tal Goran. They have returned home but are keeping quiet for now. Can Christianity survive in the Middle East? \"They were so tired,\" Edward said. They had a closed meeting with a bishop, and then ate and went home. \"They were treated well,\" contacts in Tal Goran passed on to Edward. \"Nobody was tortured.\" Not to Graeme Wood, who published a detailed analysis on ISIS' religious inner workings this week in The Atlantic. He was pleased to hear about it, but he felt it fit into ISIS' plans. \"ISIS has claimed for a long time to follow rules, and it claims that these Sharia courts will impose limits,\" he told CNN. \"They can attempt to get credibility by showing that they follow rules and that they have some kind of transparent process that follows their particular implementation of Sharia law.\" It's possible. It did win them points with Assyrian activists. \"It's a good sign to show that 'we can talk,'\" Edward said. ISIS has taken heat even from other Islamists who accuse it of rogue justice, especially against Muslim civilians they've condemned as \"infidels\" out of hand. It's part of the reason al Qaeda has rejected the group, Wood wrote. That reduced some of ISIS' chances of receiving international moral and financial support, leaving the terror group to make up the gap with other funding. And it has led to a violent split with another jihadi group in Syria, the al-Nusra Front, according to The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Other Islamist groups in Syria have frowned on ISIS for not submitting to decisions from Sharia courts. The main issue drawing anger from other Islamist groups revolves around Muslim civilians, who are ISIS' most common victims.

The report -- released one year after the disappearance of the Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew --- provides a detailed picture of delays and protocol violations before the launch of the search and rescue. An astonishing five hours and 13 minutes passed between the last communication from the flight crew and Kuala Lumpur's first distress signal concerning the missing plane. And it was another five hours before the first search flights took off to try to find it. CNN's aviation correspondent Richard Quest said he believes the delayed response was the most disturbing thing revealed by the interim report -- \"the lack of somebody pushing the big red button that says crisis and panic.\" A year later after the plane's disappearance, not a single trace of Flight MH370 has been found despite extensive search efforts. Investigators believe the wreckage lies somewhere on the bottom of the Indian Ocean, based on the analysis of satellite communications data. The first sign that something was wrong with flight MH370 came after plane failed to check in with Vietnamese Air Traffic Controllers after leaving Malaysian airspace. According to protocol, Ho Chi Minh ATC should have informed their Kuala Lumpur counterparts (KL ATCC) about this within five minutes. Instead they waited 20. When Ho Chi Minh finally did inform Kuala Lumpur, the confusion was evident, as seen in transcripts of the conversation released Sunday. KL ATCC asked three times at what point Ho Chi Minh lost contact, then went on to express concern at the delay, asking \"Why you didn't tell me first? Within five minutes you should be (sic) called me.\" The confusion only got worse after Malaysia Airlines mistakenly told Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Controllers they could see the flight somewhere over Cambodia. It took an hour and a half to clear this up, after Malaysia Airlines admitted to controllers they were only looking at the projected flight track. Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the misinformation was a momentary lapse by a company employee. \"Our information was only to be as a guide. We are not an ATC per se. We don't have radar,\" he told CNN. The watch supervisor then waited another two hours to activate the rescue coordination center. Still another hour went by before before Kuala Lumpur issued the distress signal. No explanation for the delay is given in the interim report, which is composed of factual data and provides no conclusions or recommendations. After the air traffic controllers lost contact with MH370, the plane continued to fly within the range of multiple radar systems belonging to four different countries.

The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the deadly attack and warned of more to come. The explosions, which struck the Nishtar Colony area in the city of Lahore, wounded at least 78 people, said Dr. Muhammed Saeed Sohbin, medical superintendent at Lahore General Hospital. Video from the scene aired by CNN affiliate GEO News showed twisted metal, shattered glass and panicked residents outside a church compound. Ambulance and security personnel were seen moving in. Later footage showed water cannons arriving to disperse the crowd. Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, said by telephone that his group was responsible for the suicide bombings, declaring that such attacks would continue until Sharia law is implemented in Pakistan. After a period of disunity, the terrorist group's three major splinter groups announced last week that they were joining forces again under the name Tehrik-i-Taliban, or TTP. The Pakistani military has been waging a campaign against the militant group in North Waziristan, one of the loosely governed tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whose government held unsuccessful peace talks with the TTP last year, strongly condemned Sunday's attack, according to a statement from his office. Sharif asked provincial governments to tighten security and \"take all possible measures\" to protect people and property, the statement said. The last major attack on Pakistan's Christian community took place in 2013, when suicide bombers struck a church in the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing more than 80 people. More recently, a Christian couple were burned to death in November by mob that accused them of blasphemy. \"The Christian community is a soft target for militant outfits in Pakistan,\" said Rabia Mehmood, a researcher at the Jinnah Institute, a Pakistani think tank. \"But generally Christians and other religious minorities are under a constant threat by the extremist elements in the society and rampant religious intolerance.\" On Sunday, Pope Francis said he learned of the attacks \"with pain, with much pain.\" He called for peace in Pakistan and said that persecution of Christians doesn't get the attention it deserves. The Pope prayed that \"this persecution against Christians, which the world tries to hide, might end, and that there be peace.\" Other minorities in the predominantly Sunni Muslim nation have also been targeted this year. Last month, an attack on a Shiite mosque in Peshawar killed at least 19 worshipers and injured dozens of others. The Pakistani Taliban reportedly claimed responsibility for that attack, too.

Fed up with pollution, traffic gridlock, a packed population with soaring rents and creaking infrastructure, Egypt is teaming up with a developer in the United Arab Emirates to build a city in what could be one of the world's most ambitious infrastructure programs. The yet-to-be-named city will spread out over 150 square miles, or roughly the size of Denver, and could eventually be home to 7 million people, the developers and government announced Friday. The current capital of Cairo, while full of history and vibrant charm, is home to more than 18 million people, and living in and getting around the city can be maddening and frustrating. The government says the idea is to reduce congestion in Cairo, which is projected to double in population in the coming decades. An exact location was not announced, but the city is expected to be built east of Cairo. It will be closer to the Red Sea -- between two major highways -- the Suez and the Ain Sokhna roads. The ambitions are big. In addition to the new embassies and government buildings, it plans to have an international airport bigger than Heathrow, solar energy farms, 40,000 hotel rooms, nearly 2,000 schools and 18 hospitals -- all linked together by over 6,000 miles of new roads. But if the dream is big, the bill will be bigger. The total cost is estimated at U.S. $45 billion, Minister of Housing Mostafa Madbouly announced at an economic development conference in Sharm el-Sheikh. The unveiling of the new capital was paired with a glitzy website with renderings showing a lush and technological urban scape of glass towers and pools. The plan is backed by a group that describes itself as \"a private real estate investment fund by global investors focused on investment and development partnerships\" led by Emirati developer Mohamed Alabbar. Alabbar made his name as the founder of Dubai's Emaar Properties, primarily known for developing the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Egypt is not the first country to plan on moving its capital from established big cities to rural greener pastures. Myanmar has only recently completed its move from crumbling Yangon to the new city of Naypyidaw. Nigeria moved to Abuja in the 1990's, and Brazil carved its capital Brasilia out of the wilderness over 50 years ago.

But it's no secret President Obama is no fan of Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Israeli prime minister's recent address to a joint meeting of the Congress exposed the rawness of the relationship. So as the votes are counted and the coalitions debated in the week ahead, the White House has both a personal and professional interest.

+{"article": "(CNN)Sen. Rand Paul, who is expected to announce on April 7 that he will be running for the presidency, is garnering a great deal of attention as he travels around the country promoting his brand of libertarian conservatism. The Kentucky senator's widely publicized appearance this month at the South by Southwest festival at Austin, Texas, was one opportunity he used to appeal to a tech-savvy audience. His particular blend of ideas -- a combination of libertarianism and Republican conservatism -- stands out from the rest of the pack. Younger Republicans, the much-desired millennial vote, seem attracted by what they are hearing. What accounts for his appeal? In an era when so many Americans seem frustrated with shallow, personality-based politics, there seems to be genuine interest in a candidate who is fighting for a set of ideas. For many disaffected younger Republicans, Paul offers a version of the conservative agenda that seems foreign to the modern GOP. For almost half a century, \"big government conservatism\" has ruled the party. Although conservatism is theoretically about limited government, the historical reality has been much different. On national defense, the hawks of the GOP have been victorious. Even while railing against the dangers of a big federal government, Republicans have lined up to support higher defense spending and a massive military-industrial complex. Though the GOP has little tolerance for many social safety net programs, the party has accepted sizable government support to industry, such as the financial bailout known as TARP in 2008 and subsidies for certain economic interests. Paul has been a vocal critic of the neoconservative turn that the GOP has embraced in recent decades, during which the party moved beyond support for high national security spending and toward a bolder vision of aggressive nation-building and regime change. For some Republicans, including Paul, these policies were at the heart of the failures of George W. Bush's presidency and a sharp departure from the party's principles. Similarly, Paul has been one of the few Republican voices to argue that post 9/11 surveillance policies have dangerously curtailed civil liberties. At the local level, he has criticized the militarization of police forces and the treatment of African Americans by law enforcement officers. Paul has also backed away from some tenets of social conservatism that don't sit well with a growing number of Republican voters. He has been an outspoken advocate of giving states the right to legalize marijuana. He has been attuned to the ways in which younger generations of Republicans are not on board with the evangelical fervor of the 1970s conservative movement and want to move in a different direction. While many Republicans have talked about the need for their party to tackle issues involving race and inequality in ways that are different from Democrats, most have been unwilling to offer any substantive ideas.

Photographer Trupal Pandya traveled about 30 hours by air, water and land to reach this native community and take their portraits. The Huaorani, which means \"the people\" or \"human beings,\" are believed to have inhabited the rainforest for thousands of years. Until about the 1960s, they never had any contact with the outside world. Pandya said there is a contrast between the modernization of the younger generation, who travel to areas outside of their community, and the older generation, who make efforts to maintain their traditional ways of living. Diverse changes have taken place within the community: the introduction of radios within many Huaorani homes, the consumption of food from cities and the adoption of Westernized clothing. For Pandya, these changes were a significant factor in his decision to photograph the Huaorani. \"The biggest (reason) was to just go out there and photograph the change before everything changes,\" Pandya said. \"I think if I would have (photographed the Huaorani) 10 years back down the line or a little later than that, I don't think I would have got what I just got.\" Another aspect of modernization has to do with language. Many Huaorani, who for years have only communicated using a regional dialect, now speak the Ecuadorian native language of Spanish. Pandya speaks English, so he needed translators to interact effectively. But it is apparent from his experiences with the Huaorani that actions can certainly not only speak louder than words, but be more effectual than words when attempting to convey one's intentions. \"I never started photographing when I (first) saw (the Huaorani),\" he said. \"I didn't even have my camera.

Prior to creating formal portraits using his professional camera equipment and lighting, Pandya took Polaroid photos of the Huaorani that they were then able to keep. \"I think some of them saw the Polaroid for the first time, so they were really happy to see themselves like that,\" Pandya said. For his formal portraits, Pandya placed his subjects in front of a solid white background in order to portray the Huaorani in a very direct and concise manner, eliminating the presence of any distractions. \"The main reason was to have the focus only on the people and their clothes and nothing else but them as an individual, them as a human being,\" he said. Pandya's decision to use a white background also proved effective in highlighting the coexistence between the Huaorani and the different kinds of animals they encounter daily in their natural environment.

+{"article": "Atlanta (CNN)Nearly 30 years after the first U.S. stealth bomber took flight, the Air Force's aging fleet is primed for a makeover; albeit an expensive one. The Pentagon is looking to upgrade its stealth aircraft for the first time since the 1970s, developing a high-priority, super-classified, next-generation bomber. The Air Force plans to award a contract to build and develop the Long Range Strike Bomber to one of the industry's most powerful firms later this year and hopes to integrate them into the fleet by the mid-2020s. Competing for the prize are Northrop Grumman, the developer of the Air Force's current bomber, the B-2, and a partnership between aeronautic juggernauts Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Before the House Armed Services Committee earlier this month, William LaPlante, assistant secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, suggested the Air Force will offer a \"cost-plus\" contract to the winning firm, meaning the government will take on the risk of any cost overrun. \"My belief on the LRS-B (Long Range Strike Bomber) is it's going to be more traditional in the sense that we are doing a little bit more cutting edge\" development, LaPlante said. The Air Force has said it plans to leverage existing technologies to help keep the LRS-B affordable. However The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, an independent, nonpartisan research group, warns \"near-sighted, build-for-today acquisition strategies may render the issue of 'affordability' moot, as affordability must also be assessed in the context of a capability's mission effectiveness over its projected lifespan.\" Along with the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the KC-46 tanker, the LRS-B is one of the Air Force's top modernization priorities, and some experts say its development will go far beyond simply upgrading an aging bomber fleet. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula told CNN this week that it is inaccurate to label the LRS-B as simply a \"bomber\" and that officials need to shed the \"old think\" way of categorizing airplanes into different mission areas. The new \"Long Range Sensor Shooter,\" as Deptula calls it, will have the ability to create a self-forming, self-healing \"combat cloud\" capable of sharing information with other aircraft and conducting a diverse array of operation types. Pentagon officials have stressed the importance of developing the new long-range strike bomber calling it critical to national security and nuclear deterrence. It is \"absolutely essential for keeping our deterrent edge,\" former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in January. \"We need to do it. We need to make the investments. We'll have it in the budget.\" Deptula said the No. 1 reason to upgrade the long-range sensor force is to counter the constantly evolving threats around the world. \"The Chinese, Iranians and Russians ... have built advanced anti-air systems and long-range fighters, to attack our bases and aircraft carriers,\" he said. Adm. William Gortney, commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, expressed similar security concerns to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Thursday, telling lawmakers Russia is continuing to work on its program to deploy \"long-range conventionally armed cruise missiles,\" that can be launched from its bomber aircraft,", "summary": "Pentagon to upgrade its stealth aircraft for first time since 1970s, developing a classified, next-generation bomber .

As prime minister for its first three decades, Lee Kuan Yew raised a poor port from the bottom rungs of the third world to the first world in a single generation. As it prepares to mark its 50th anniversary as a nation, Singapore is today an ultra-modern metropolis of almost six million people with higher per capita GDP than the United States, according to the World Bank. Lee's achievement in building a successful nation contrasts sharply with the results of Washington's expenditure of over $4 trillion and nearly 7,000 American lives in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade. Some say Singapore's story is sui generis: Something that could only happen in that time and place. But its remarkable performance has less to do with miraculous conditions than with Lee's model of disciplined, visionary leadership. Leaders of other aspiring-to-develop nations, and even the U.S., should take pages from Lee Kuan Yew's playbook to address current challenges. We know many of Lee's lessons on the role of government leadership in development because my co-authors and I asked him directly two years ago to reflect on them -- points we captured in our book, Lee Kuan Yew: The Grand Master's Insights on China, the United States, and the World. Five stand out. First, Lee insisted that governance was first and foremost about results. In his words, \"the acid test of any legal system is not the greatness or the grandeur of its ideal concepts, but whether, in fact, it is able to produce order and justice.\" About the core purposes of government, he was crystal clear. In terms America's founding fathers would recognize, he believed that \"the ultimate test of the value of a political system is whether it helps that society establish conditions which improve the standard of living for the majority of its people, plus enabling the maximum of personal freedoms compatible with the freedoms of others in society.\" Second, superior performance requires superior leadership. Lee demanded of leaders both intellectual and moral superiority. Contrary to modern Western democratic theory that emphasizes citizens' participation in governance, his views were closer to Plato's conception of the \"guardians,\" or China's historical Mandarins. Good government requires most of all leaders who put the public good unquestionably above their own personal interests. He was disappointed by many of his counterparts who failed that test. Third, successful societies guarantee strict equality of opportunity for all individuals, but are realistic about the fact that this will yield substantial inequalities in outcomes. For Lee, the essence of a successful society was intense competition on a level playing field that allows each individual to achieve his or her maximum. Few things offended him more than denial of equality of opportunity on the basis of caste (India), class (Europe), race (the U.S. during segregation), sex, or other irrelevant attributes.

But unlike its neighbor to the west, Libya has been fraught with more instability and violence -- much of it perpetrated by Islamist militants, like those behind the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Such violence has been rare in Tunisia, at least on the scale of what happened Wednesday at the Bardo Museum in Tunis. Still, it is not a total shock, given that up to 3,000 Tunisians have left to fight as jihadists in Iraq and Syria, according to the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization in London, not to mention others who have joined radical groups closer to home. Already, authorities have arrested nine people in connection with the attack, including four directly linked to it, according to a statement from Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi. And in an audio message posted online Thursday, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said targeted \"crusaders and apostates\" with \"automatic weapons and hand grenades.\" CNN cannot independently verify the legitimacy of the audio statement. That bloodshed is \"just the start,\" the ISIS message warned -- a threat that may or may not be hollow, but nonetheless adds extra urgency for Tunisian investigators. The nation's security forces are working to break up other cells like those behind the recent Bardo Museum attack. But that's not necessarily going to be fast or easy. \"We know they can launch operations, but we must piece together clues in order to conduct an arrest,\" Chelly said. As investigators continued their work, Tunisians turned out Friday to mark the North African nation's independence from France. Those commemorations were more somber this year, but they were also in many ways more significant. \"I'm here to celebrate 59 years of our independence,\" said Adib Adela, 38, a school inspector in Tunis. \"The most important thing now is to properly investigate and to find those responsible.\" Tunisia has been shaken by the terrorist attack, though it was foreigners -- 19 of them tourists who'd been on two cruise ships that docked in Tunis -- who made up the vast majority of victims. Fifteen victims' bodies are at a morgue in the capital, a forensic official said. Some of them haven't been identified two days after the attack, according to the official, and all are foreigners. The fear is that many other tourists won't come back.

+{"article": "(CNN)Back in 2010 Britain's politicians broke new ground. They were long used to haranguing each other in the UK's rowdy House of Commons -- but they'd never had American style pre-election head-to-head debates. It is necessary and long-established political fare in the U.S. -- but over here in the UK, it was novel. It seemed to go well -- political points were scored, and polls were commissioned looking for advantages gained or lost. It was a drama of sorts, even though no knock-out punches were landed. Prime Minister David Cameron and his Conservative party won the election, but not by enough to go into government alone. For the past five years he's been governing in coalition with the UK's third party, the Liberal Democrats. And their leader, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, has mostly backed Cameron in Parliamentary debates against the opposition Labour leader Ed Miliband. Britain's broadcasters, keen to channel lively politics onto prime time TV and boost ratings, have been working the corridors of power themselves over the past year to try to nail down a repeat -- or two -- of the 2010 knockabout. What's at stake isn't just the proposed debates ahead of May's general election -- but the enshrining of such debates permanently into Britain's political architecture -- just like in the U.S. But while Cameron and Miliband have hired former White House election advisers to edge them in to the lead, no one can agree on what form a debate should take, how many there should be, or even who should be invited. Cameron has insisted on just one debate involving the leaders of seven leading UK parties -- giving equal airtime to the Greens, the Scottish Nationalists and the upstart rightwing UK Independence Party (UKIP), among others. But Miliband's Labour party is holding out for at least one head-to-head debate with Cameron. No one seems to be budging but both of the UK's largest parties could use the bump in the polls such a debate might bring. Part of the problem is the British electorate, which has changed since 2010, boosting the fortunes of some of the country's former political outliers. The rightwing UKIP, which has pledged to take the UK out of the European Union, has made massive gains in the past year -- mostly at the expense of Cameron's Conservatives. In Scotland, the September independence referendum (which narrowly failed) so reinvigorated the Scottish National Party that they could hit what is usually a key Labour stronghold, undermining Miliband's bid for power. All of this has made the whole process of nailing down precisely who will be allowed in the debate that much more tortuous. For the big leaders who drive that conversation, it is about how each outlier can help them -- and hinder their rivals. It once looked like it would become as much of a British institution as rain, or fish and chips, but now the election debate seems in danger of not happening at all. On the upside, you can still tune in to House of Commons TV most days", "summary": "Election TV debates only arrived in the UK in 2010 .

+{"article": "Moscow (CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared in public Monday for the first time in about 10 days as he met with Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev in the Russian city of St. Petersburg. Putin isn't generally one to shy away from the limelight -- posing with a (tranquilized) tiger, riding a horse while shirtless, earning a karate black belt. So his unexplained absence fueled speculation about his health, grip on power and even his love life. Although the Kremlin and the Russian state media released photos and video footage of Putin last week, they did not quell the rumors about his whereabouts, because it was unclear when they were taken. So all eyes were turned to St. Petersburg on Monday for Putin's scheduled meeting with Atambayev of Kyrgyzstan. His appearance before the press, looking healthy and relaxed, should help put some of the rumors at least to rest. And he made light of his absence, saying: \"It would be boring without gossip.\" In another sign Putin has a firm hand on the tiller, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said the President had ordered Russia's Northern Fleet to be placed on full combat alert from Monday morning for snap checks, Russia's state-run Tass news agency reported. The checks are intended to test the fleet's capacity to ensure Russia's military security in the Arctic, Tass said. Also on alert are Russia's Western Military District and certain airborne units, with some 38,000 military personnel involved in total. Here's what gave some doubters grist for the rumor mill: On Friday -- three days before the scheduled meeting -- a Russian state media broadcaster prematurely aired a report that Putin had a meeting with Atambayev -- although the event had not yet occurred. The station acknowledged the error, but it only heightened the speculation over Putin and his whereabouts. Social media has been swirling with questions, with hashtags such as #Putindead and #putinmissing. Was he ill? Was he holed away somewhere with his girlfriend and a new baby, as some in the European media speculated? There were even dark rumors of a palace coup in which various Kremlin factions vying for power might have ousted him. The Kremlin vigorously denied that anything was amiss, with Putin's spokesman saying the President was healthy and that his handshake \"can break a hand.\" But his absence came at an uneasy time as the country deals with economic turmoil and strained international relations over the war in Ukraine. \"Does Putin ever catch a cold? Does he ever get sick? The Kremlin doesn't want to allow Putin's image of virility and strength to become tarnished by the weaknesses of mere humans,\" CNN analyst Frida Ghitis wrote. \"Putin rules in the old-fashioned style of a personality cult. The system requires propaganda and image control. It needs Putin to be larger than life.\" Last week, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov sought to allay questions, telling Russian radio station Echo of Moscow that people should not worry and that Putin was \"absolutely\" healthy. \"No need to worry, everything is all right.

+{"article": "(CNN)The odds seemed almost impossibly stacked against baby Lily, but she survived. Rescuers found the toddler Saturday, hanging upside down in her mother's car, which had flipped into a frigid Utah river a day before. If the wreck occurred when police believe it did, she may have been there for as many as 14 hours. Lily's mother, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, died in the crash. She was 25 years old. How did her 18-month-old survive? One of the biggest factors was the car seat. Lily was in the proper car seat for her age and the seat appears to have been properly attached. Even though the child was trapped and upside down, her body remained in the seat and above the frigid water. Doctors say that such low temperatures are dangerous, but would be even more so if the baby were wet. Dry cold temperatures are more survivable than wet cold temperatures. Ironically, the cold might have actually helped Lily survive, said Dr. Barbara Walsh, with the University of Massachusetts Medical School. \"She's going to have a lower heart rate. She's going to have a lower metabolism. She's going to need less sugar,\" Walsh said. \"It's almost like the body is sort of knowing that it needs to shut down to protect itself.\" A variety of other factors were also likely at play. \"We don't know what time the child was last fed, when she drank. Given that it's wintertime and she was in her car seat, she was probably wearing mittens, a hat. We tend to over bundle our children, so the fact that she was dry, she probably had on multiple layers because it's winter, and there's always a chance that she had just been sort of fed right before this happened probably all played a role,\" Walsh said. A final factor may have been that the girl, as a toddler, has baby fat -- a little extra insulation. If she had been an infant, it might have been a different story. \"It's amazing. Children are very resilient, and I think sometimes we don't realize how much they actually can withstand,\" said Walsh.

Not even after he admitted he killed and dismembered his neighbor. But it may be Durst who does himself in with 11 words he muttered in a restroom: . \"What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.\" Those comments were picked up on a microphone he was wearing for the HBO documentary series about him called \"The Jinx.\" Apparently, the real estate heir didn't turn his microphone off when he went to the bathroom. Durst now sits in a New Orleans jail after his arrest Saturday in connection with the 2000 death of his longtime friend Susan Berman in Los Angeles. On Monday, California prosecutors said Durst was \"lying in wait\" when he shot and killed Berman because she \"was a witness to a crime.\" She had been shot in the head shortly before investigators were supposed to come ask her about the disappearance of Durst's first wife in 1982.

That argument might not fly, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said. \"That whole theory of the Constitution is that you have an expectation of privacy under certain circumstances when you're dealing with the police. But here, he's dealing with filmmakers.\" Furthermore, Toobin said, Durst had a microphone on. \"You can't have an expectation of privacy when you're wearing a microphone. Yeah, he maybe forgot, but that's not good enough.\" Yes: . The defense very well could, said Jackson, the HLN analyst. \"The attorneys are going to further argue that there was governmental action in as much as HBO was working very closely with the authorities. And they're going to say, isn't it coincidental how his arrest comes on the heels of the final episode of this HBO documentary?\" No: .

The revelation that as secretary of state she maintained a private email account, and that she had a private computer server in her New York home, sent shock waves through the world of politics last week. Questions arose about whether Clinton conducted her official business on private email, possibly violating regulations that were written to ensure that the activities of government officials remain accessible to the public. Republicans jumped on the story. \"It makes you wonder,\" said Reince Preibus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee. \"Did she use the private emails so she could conduct diplomacy and fund-raising at the same time?\" Even many Democrats are worried about the implications of this recent story. Their front-runner, their \"inevitable\" nominee for 2016, now seems vulnerable. Many in Washington are anticipating that the scandal is only getting started. This is not the first time that Hillary Clinton has found herself in this situation. She has spent much of her political career battling scandals. When her husband, Bill Clinton, was president of the United States, she was one of the first targets of the earliest investigations into the administration -- \"Travel-gate,\" \"File-gate\" and the Whitewater affair. She stood by her husband's side later in his presidency when House Republicans moved to impeach him for having lied about his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern. Although Clinton enjoyed a bit of a break when serving in the Senate, the controversies resumed once she became secretary of state under President Obama. During her tenure, Republicans became consumed with multiple investigations into her role in the tragic Benghazi attacks. Although the investigations failed to find any evidence of wrongdoing, the issue became a rallying point for conservative activists and fund-raisers. Some Republicans now claim that the emails will provide the data that they have been looking for to prove what they were saying. But those observers who are predicting her demise should remember that Hillary Clinton has proven to be remarkably resilient over the years. Each time she or her family has been hit with a scandal, she has survived. She has proven to be an extraordinarily tough fighter who turns these challenges into opportunities to become stronger.

Unidentified gunmen attacked the lawyer, Samiullah Afridi, in his car near the city of Peshawar on Tuesday, said Mian Saeed, a police superintendent in Peshawar. Two different militant groups claimed responsibility for the killing. The lawyer had represented Dr. Shakeel Afridi, who was convicted of treason in 2012 by a Pakistani tribal court and is now serving a 23-year prison sentence. The two men are not related. The doctor helped the CIA set up a fake vaccination campaign in an attempt to collect DNA samples from relatives of Bin Laden in an effort to verify his presence in a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad. The Qaeda leader was killed in a U.S. raid on the compound in May 2011. It was unclear which of the two groups claiming responsibility for the attack was actually behind it. Fahad Marwat, a spokesman for the militant group Jundallah, told CNN that Afridi was on the group's hit list. But Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for a faction of the Pakistani Taliban, said his group had carried out the assassination because Samiullah Afridi defended the doctor, whom he described as \"a friend\" of bin Laden's killers. CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen said Jundallah is \"kind of a splinter group\" of the Pakistani Taliban that's \"been around for a long time.\" \"They're extremely violent,\" he said. \"They've been killing all sorts of religious minorities in Pakistan.\" Last month, the group claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing outside a Shiite mosque in the city of Rawalpindi. Bergen said Dr. Afridi is \"a very unpopular figure in Pakistan\" because of the perception that he was involved in helping find Bin Laden. \"And his lawyer, by extension, would also be seen as an unpopular person because of that perception,\" he said. But Bergen said he didn't think the doctor played a key role in the hunt for Bin Laden. \"The idea was the doctor and his staff would take DNA samples from the Bin Laden kids as part of this 'vaccination program,'\" he said. \"That never happened because the kids never came out.\" Although Dr. Afridi was working for U.S. intelligence, \"the CIA wasn't telling the doctor, you're helping us find bin Laden,\" Bergen said. After the killing of bin Laden, health workers administering polio vaccinations have come to be viewed with suspicion by many Pakistanis. The vaccination teams have repeatedly been targeted by militants. The latest instance came Wednesday when unidentified attackers killed one polio vaccination worker and wounded another in Bajaur agency in northwestern Pakistan, local authorities said.

The rally, called \"Israel Wants Change,\" was put on by One Million Hands, a grassroots movement that focuses its efforts on two major issues: a two-state solution and a reduction in the cost of living. On both of these topics, founder Dror Ben-Ami says, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed. \"We think that the only way to go forward on that account is to change government and to get this current government out of office. To get Bibi out of office,\" says Ben-Ami. Organizers are not promoting any specific candidate or pushing voters toward any political party in the March 17 balloting. Instead, they are encouraging voters to change the current administration. Police estimated the crowd at 40,000 people. Headlining the rally was Meir Dagan, the former head of Mossad, Israel's spy agency, and a vocal critic of Netanyahu. In recent weeks, Dagan criticized Netanyahu's decision to speak before the U.S. Congress, and he continued his criticism at the rally, saying that he has never seen such stagnation in Israeli politics. Netanyahu still has broad support in Israel, and his Likud party is doing well in the polls. The Zionist Union is Likud's primary challenger. In the initial round of polling immediately following Netanyahu's speech before Congress, the Zionist Union was expected to win 24 seats in the Knesset while Likud was expected to win 23 seats. The poll comes from CNN affiliate Channel 2 Israel. Because of the nature of Israeli politics, Netanyahu's Likud party could lose the election while Netanyahu still becomes prime minister. In many ways, this rally was reminiscent of a similar social movement that began in the summer of 2011. Hundreds of thousands of protesters packed the streets of Tel Aviv, demanding improvements in the cost of housing, education, and health care.

She wanted to see whether they would support her going back to Indian Wells, California, to play in a tournament she had skipped 13 times since winning in 2001. The last time she was there, she had been booed loudly and lustfully. The fans were upset and sensed some sort of conspiracy that she didn't have to face her talented older sister in the semifinals. Venus Williams had withdrawn 10 minutes before their match with a knee injury. Many fans didn't buy it and thought it was orchestrated to give the younger Williams a chance for extra rest. Two days later, during the championship match, Serena Williams, 19 at the time, was jeered when she did well and cheered when she fared poorly. Then days after the tournament, which she won, her father, Richard, told USA Today that as he and Venus walked down the stairs to their seats, people kept calling him the N-word and one man said: \"I wish it was '75; we'd skin you alive.\" Neither Serena nor Venus has played in the tennis tournament since. That will end Friday when Serena Williams, the world No. 1, faces Monica Niculescu, the 68th-ranked player in a second-round match. The end of the boycott took a lot of conversations with a lot of people, Williams told reporters Thursday. Two of the most important were with her parents. \"It was a really emotional time for me,\" she said, saying the prospect of the talks made her a little nervous. She told them she wouldn't go back if they didn't want her to go. But they both said to play. Her dad said it would be a big mistake not to come back, she said. Williams said her mother said, \"I will be there for you.\" Venus Williams, the No. 11 singles player, isn't playing in the tournament, but Serena Williams said her older sister was 100% behind her. She is \"very happy that I am here. And even encouraged me to come,\" Serena Williams said. Serena Williams announced her return to the event in a TIME magazine first-person piece in February, writing she would ended her boycott in the spirit of forgiveness. She said Thursday that she didn't just have to forgive the fans at Indian Wells. \"In order to forgive, you have to be able to really let go of everything. I kind of let go a long time ago, and I kind of forgave, but I wasn't at point where I was ready to come back,\" she said. The timing seemed right this year, she said. She added that she will be a little nervous in her first match at the BNP Paribas Open.

But, German prosecutors said Friday, he was clearly trying to hide something in the days before he sent Germanwings Flight 9525 plowing into a mountain, killing himself and 149 others aboard. Investigators searching Lubitz's Dusseldorf apartment said they found documents revealing he'd been declared unfit for work. The letter, Dusseldorf prosecutor Christoph Kumpa, said, was found \"slashed\" in a dust bin. The revelation only adds to the myriad questions swirling around Lubitz, 27, whom authorities say deliberately destroyed the plane. The biggest question of all, still, is why? Lufthansa CEO 'speechless' That's the question police were hoping to answer as they searched Lubitz's apartment. Police spokesman Markus Niesczery said a team of five investigators went \"through the apartment looking for clues as to what the co-pilot's motivation might have been, if he did indeed bring the plane down.\" They didn't find a goodbye note or anything directly explaining the crash, the public prosecutor's office in Dusseldorf said in a statement. They say it will be a few more days before they can say anything more publicly about what they found. Outside the apartment, neighbors contacted Friday said they didn't know Lubitz and are simply flummoxed by all the attention to the quiet suburban neighborhood featuring a handful of businesses, restaurants, running rails and a lake. Meanwhile, about 85 miles (136 kilometers) away in the town of Montabaur, the house where Lubitz's parents live was shuttered and guarded by police. A group of men, perhaps investigators, were the only ones granted access on Thursday. On Friday, there was no activity at all. Montabaur, in western Germany, is where Lubitz pursued his love of flying from a young age. At a club on the outskirts of town, pilots who knew Lubitz said they were shocked to hear what investigators said. They said the man they know never would have deliberately crashed a plane. Between age 14 and age 20, Lubitz was a regular fixture at the gliding club. \"(He was) a very normal young person, full of energy,\" Klaus Radke said. \"What can I say? He had a bright future. He made his hobby into his job. What more can you hope to achieve?\" The authorities' explanation doesn't ring true for Peter Ruecker, another pilot who knew him from the flight club. \"Knowing Andreas, this is just inconceivable for me,\" Ruecker told the Reuters news agency. \"He was a lot of fun, even though he was perhaps sometimes a bit quiet,\" Ruecker said. \"He was just another boy, like so many others here.\" An acquaintance said Lubitz was health conscious.

North Korea accepted Russia's invitation, but Russia is waiting on Pyongyang to make the official announcement about the May trip, the official said. This would mark Kim's first official foreign trip since inheriting the leadership in late 2011. \"The invitation was sent to Kim Jong Un. North Korea accepted the invitation. The leadership of North Korea is expected to take part in Victory Day celebrations in Moscow,\" the Russian official said. The official later clarified: \"By leadership, we're talking about Kim.\" So far, North Korean state media has not issued any statement about the invitation. This year's Victory Day marks the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. Chatter over whether Kim would make his first official overseas trip during the pivotal anniversary started in late December after Russian state media reported that Moscow had extended an invitation to Pyongyang. On December 22, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov told Itar-Tass: \"First signals are given from Pyongyang that the North Korean leader plans to come to Moscow and attend celebrations.\" Recently, Russia and North Korea have been fostering warmer relations. If Kim appears in Russia along with other world leaders, he may look like a minor figure, said Dr. Leonid Petrov, an Asian studies professor who specializes in the political history of North Korea. \"In a setting with a large crowd of state officials, in group pictures, he would look like a minor figure instead of what he's portrayed in North Korean media as supreme leader, invincible marshal, jack of all trades. \"So I think if Kim Jong Un decides to go to Moscow, he's going to look like a very lonely, lonely figure.\" The Kremlin has invited 68 world leaders to its Victory Day celebrations on May 9, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as quoted on Russian network RT. He was quoted in Russian media as saying that Chinese President Xi Jinping will also attend.

The two countries declared 2015 their \"Friendship Year.\" Both countries have been slapped with sanctions by the United States and are facing international isolation. \"North Korea is a convenient friend for Moscow -- it's anti-American and it's in a key place of Asia,\" Petrov said. \"Russia lost many of its traditional allies -- it needs friends, both economically, politically, strategically.\" Ties between North Korea and Russia date back to World War II, when Kim Jong Un's grandfather and founder of the country, Kim Il Sung, trained as a communist guerrilla leader in the Soviet Union.

The officer fired two shots when the man charged at him, said Cedric Alexander, the public safety director of DeKalb County. But given that the man was not carrying a weapon, the police department immediately turned over the case to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations for an independent probe. \"What I have requested here [is] a result of what's going on currently across this country as it relates to police shootings,\" Alexander told reporters. The officer was white; the deceased man was African-American, Alexander said. The incident took place Monday afternoon at an apartment complex in Chamblee, a suburb of Atlanta. Someone called 911 to report a man \"acting deranged, knocking on doors and crawling around naked,\" Alexander said. When the officer arrived, the man charged at him, Alexander said. \"The officer called him to stop while stepping backward, drew his weapon and fired two shots,\" he said. The man, struck twice in the upper body, died. Police later learned he was a resident at the complex. \"I can only reasonably assume that if he was running around the apartment complex naked, I believe we can make the assumption there may have been some mental health experience that he might have been having,\" Alexander said. DeKalb County police officers undergo some degree of training on how to deal with the mentally ill. But this, and other incidents, highlight the need for more, the public safety director said. \"That's becoming more and more apparent,\" Alexander said. \"We have already, as many departments have begun to do, look at how to expand our mental health training when we find it certainly necessary to do so. Because it appears that we're seeing more and more of these cases across the country in which police are engaging with those who appear to be in distress.\" Police did not release the officer's name, but said the seven-year veteran was placed on administrative leave. During the incident, the officer had access to his stun gun and pepper spray, Alexander said. Why he chose to draw his weapon will come out during the investigation. \"I think in all fairness we need to wait and see what the outcome of the investigation is because I can't tell you, beyond what I have told you so far, what kind of measures that officer may have taken,\" he said.

According to Le Figaro newspaper, the Fort de Rosny-sous-Bois is the location of an important intelligence center. Coulibaly killed four hostages in the grocery store before police shot and killed him. His attack followed one on the office of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, authors of the deadly attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices, were killed days later after two violent standoffs. The brothers were accused of killing 12 people in a massacre at the magazine offices. Coulibaly, suspected in the slaying of a police officer, was killed by security forces after he shot and killed four hostages during the siege at the kosher market. Charlie Hebdo has a controversial history of depicting the Prophet Mohammed, often in an unfavorable light, which has angered many Muslims around the world.

+{"article": "London (CNN)Tunisia's ultra-radical fringe has come back to bite a government born out of the most successful experiment in constitutional reform to emerge from the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions. Wednesday's attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis was grimly predictable, coming from what the Tunisian Interior Ministry calls a violent ultra-radical Islamist fringe forced underground -- but not crushed -- by security services. Jihadist firebrands representing thousands of active militants at home and abroad have been threatening retribution on Tunisia's outward-looking, investment-friendly majority. The attack was carried out by two gunmen, believed to have been supported by at least two accomplices. It may torpedo efforts to revive Tunisia's employment-generating tourism industry and may discourage other big-spending visitors. It will probably lead Tunisians -- who have shown a sage propensity to unite in the face of greatest adversity despite a marked appetite for political bickering -- to support a robust response by elected President Beji Caid Essebsi. The attack adds to the global narrative by which Islamic revolutionaries -- increasingly flying under the flag of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) -- pose an existential crisis to moderate states, often Western allies, in the Arab world. Tunisia is the sole country to have emerged from an Arab Spring revolution with its political process intact -- current president, Essebsi, who was elected in November 2014, and his ruling coalition, are the products of a long constitutional process. In four tumultuous years they have competed hard with, but also showed a capacity to work with, opposition parties, led by the \"moderate Islamist\" Ennahda, which is represented in government and parliament. Islamists of a very different hue were responsible for the Bardo attack. Local Salafist groups (of whom the best known is Ansar Al-Sharia) as well as multinational units including ISIS have been most effective in recruiting disaffected young Tunisians in the capital's poorer quarters and in dusty towns of the south and interior, where the original revolution that removed Ben Ali in February 2011 surged up. Legitimate claims for more jobs and resources in these underprivileged areas during the four subsequent years have largely come to nothing, adding to frustrations. Radical jihadists -- some with back bases in Libya and Algeria -- have posed a major security challenge to successive governments, murdering two prominent \"secular\" politicians in 2013. The Tunisian armed forces, supported by Algeria's more experienced and better equipped military, have been fighting jihadist radicals in the Mount Chaambi region for nearly three years. They have yet to declare final victory, pointing to the resilience of underground groups. While successive governments have acted against radical Salafist groups, thousands of Tunisians have gone underground; they are widely believed to make up the biggest national group fighting with jihadists in Syria (over 3,000 by many accounts), and are present in Libya and other failing states.

Three officers rushed to the scene, including Kenny. They knew they were facing a potentially life-threatening situation. They were unaware that Brandon's ex-wife, Susan, was also calling 911. \"My ex-husband is sitting outside and I think he just called 911,\" she said. \"He's got a pellet gun ... He's drunk.\" As she talked to the dispatcher, the squad cars arrived outside. \"I think he called you because he wants to end his drunkenness,\" Brandon said. \"I hear the sirens coming. Jesus criminy. It's not a real gun. I think he wants to be taken away.\" The officers never learned that the weapon Ronald Brandon pointed at them was a pellet gun.

According to the White House, only if the President of the United States says it is. That's infuriating Republicans and even some Democrats, who are demanding that the Obama administration submit any final nuclear deal with Iran to Congress for approval. \"This is clearly a treaty,\" Arizona Sen. John McCain told reporters Tuesday. \"They can call it a banana, but it's a treaty.\" Kerry denounces GOP letter to Iran leaders . The GOP position could jeopardize the long-term survival of any Iran deal, and it represents the party's newest clash with President Barack Obama over the limits of executive authority, as Republicans object to a pact they warn could eventually give Tehran a nuclear bomb. It's that skepticism that has largely led the White House to define the deal as a \"nonbinding agreement\" rather than a \"treaty,\" which the Constitution requires Senate \"advice and consent\" on. The distinction -- and whether it can legitimately be used to shut out Congress -- turns on complicated and unresolved questions of constitutional law. While Republicans call foul, the administration defends the differentiation as perfectly sound, and no surprise. Secretary of State John Kerry stressed Wednesday that the administration never intended to negotiate a treaty. \"We've been 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,\" he said at a Senate hearing. That doesn't sit well with Republicans, many of whom believe the Senate's constitutional role is being bypassed. Idaho Sen. James Risch dismissed the administration's argument: \"Let there be no mistake, this is a treaty that is being negotiated. It's a treaty and should be treated as such.\" Did 47 Republican senators break the law in plain sight? Republicans see criticism of the administration's maneuver as a way to gum up the works on the current deal, and to push their larger assault on the White House's exercise of power. At the Senate hearing Wednesday, Kentucky Republican Rand Paul explicitly tied the administration's bid to keep the deal away from Congress to other accusations of White House overreach. \"This is an administration that seeks to legislate when that is not in their purview, whether it be immigration, whether it be health care,\" he charged, noting that he had joined 46 other GOP senators in signing a letter to the Islamic Republic informing them of Congress's role in approving binding agreements. \"I signed the letter to Iran. But you know what? The message I was sending was to you,\" he told Kerry. \"I signed it to an administration that doesn't listen, to an administration that, every turn, tries to go around Congress because you think you can't get your way.\" But legal experts say that though a court challenge along the lines of pending GOP cases on immigration and health care is possible in theory, it would be a long shot.

Ask folks along a line from Arkansas to Virginia. Unlike last year, when city officials were caught completely by surprise, Atlanta was prepared this time. But the storm stayed north of town. It did do some damage, slicking up roads and knocking out power to tens of thousands of people. Still, Snowmageddon 2015 it wasn't. Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal did his part. He ordered a state of emergency for 51 northern counties. Authorities were ready too. There were more snow plows, more trucks to spread brine and they were out in force ahead of the bad weather. And people helped out by staying home or leaving work early. Still, social media wasn't about to give the governor a break. \"As a stockholder of a grocery store here, I appreciate you guys invoking a false panic again. #ATLsnow,\" tweeted Tommy Sale. North of the city, there was lots of snow, especially in the mountains, but Atlanta mainly got rain. It was a disappointing prospect for those who had their hearts set on making a snowman from a rare snowfall. \"Serious question, how am I supposed to build a snowman with rain?\" asked Angelica Monteon. \"lol, a little imagination and your freezer,\" responded Ashley Hamilton. Other parts of the South found enough snow to put together more than your basic snowman. In northeast Mississippi they were channeling \"Star Wars\" and the ice planet Hoth in creating a snowy version of an Imperial walker. In Alabama, the snow inspired a host of Elsas, Annas and Olafs to spread their wintry magic \"Frozen\" style. By early Thursday, the storm system had largely left the Deep South behind, instead spreading a blanket of white on the Carolinas and northward. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory noted that this marked the second time in two years that a major winter storm covered his entire state. There were no casualties or major injuries, thankfully, but the central part of the state got up to 7 inches while a few inches fell in the east. It wasn't just that snow fell, but the type of snow -- heavy stuff that snapped branches and weighed down power lines, especially in Durham and Wake counties. That led to some 224,000 Duke Energy customers being in the dark at one point, a number that had fallen to about 78,000 by 6:25 p.m. Thursday. \"The biggest issue for us, especially Greensboro to the east, was power outages,\" McCrory said. \"That is something that ... we didn't anticipate.\" Thankfully, though, North Carolinians were ready in other ways. They heeded officials' warnings by stocking up, staying off the roads and staying safe. The storm did leave behind its share of slippery misery.

+{"article": "(CNN)\"India's Daughter,\" the BBC Four documentary about the infamous 2012 gang rape in Delhi, premiered in the U.S. last week. If you haven't seen it, you have likely heard selections from the film's interview with Mukesh Singh, who is on death row for the crime. \"A decent girl won't roam around at nine o'clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy,\" he says. \"When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent.\" Certain other men interviewed for the documentary say such things as, \"In our culture, there is no place for a woman\" and that if a daughter or sister \"engaged in pre-marital activities ... I would put petrol on her and set her alight.\" Note: Those men are not rapist-murderers. They are their lawyers. Many (I'd like to think most) of us cringed at these comments and their garishly clear misogyny. But these words were not just a window into one uniquely deranged soul. Let's be clear: Singh is just reading -- perhaps more loudly and cruelly than others, but still -- from a cultural script we all share. Yes, we all. Perhaps your first thought when you heard or read those words was, \"Violence against women is really bad...in India.\" And in many ways, of course, it is. Reports this weekend of a robbery at a Christian school in eastern India, in which, officials said, one of the assailants allegedly raped a 70-year-old nun, add to the narrative. But as unfathomable as this brutality is, we must resist the temptation to presume some sort of American violence-against-women exceptionalism, making others the bad guys while crowing about \"how far women have come\" in the United States. Or to say, \"Sure, we still have issues, but not like that.\" I know that temptation is there. Our global human rights organization, based in the U.S. and India, works to inspire individuals and institutions to drive the culture change needed to make violence against women unacceptable. When I describe our work -- including our campaigns and issues in both countries and beyond -- the questions people ask often reveal their at least initial assumption: that we here in the U.S. are working solely to stop violence against women in India. Yet we do have issues in the U.S., issues \"like that.\" We have mass murderer Elliot Rodger, who before he killed six people and injured 14 others in Isla Vista California last year, wrote his own 137-page version of that same misogynist script. We know from \"The Hunting Ground,\" documentarian Kirby Dick's film about sexual assault on college campuses -- also now in theaters -- that multitudes of women, and many men, have had violated their right to an education free from violence. We know that women are leaving the tech industry, Wall Street, and Internet feminism in droves due to untenable discrimination and violence.

But Liverpool's footballers won't mind one bit that a fortunate goal sealed a vital win at Swansea to set up a pivotal clash with Manchester United at the weekend. One of English soccer's biggest rivalries is renewed on Sunday with vital points at stake in the race for a place in next season's European Champions League. Jordan Henderson knew little about his winner in Wales, the ball flying in after Jordi Amat's clearance struck him, but it helped make it seven wins out of eight for the Reds. A sixth consecutive clean sheet away from home pulled it within two points of Manchester United in fourth, with just four points separating Liverpool from Manchester City in second. \"It's a great result,\" Henderson told Sky Sports. \"The first half was disappointing but I felt as though we did better in second half, passed the ball and created a few chances. \"It was a great pass by Daniel, I got a little fortunate with the finish but you've got to be in the right position to score. \"Overall we're delighted with three points and we now look forward to Sunday. We can't wait for it, we are high on confidence and have great momentum but United played well the other day. \"It'll be a tough one but at Anfield we go in confident and hopefully we'll get the result we need.\" In a lackluster start, Daniel Sturridge dragged a shot wide of post for Liverpool before England international Adam Lallana fired a fierce half-volley right at Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski. From then on Swansea asserted control. Martin Skrtel had to be alert to clear as Swansea's French striker Bafetimbi Gomis -- starting for the first time since collapsing on the pitch at Tottenham earlier this month -- headed at goal. Gomis then played a neat one-two with Wayne Routledge before forcing Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet into a fine low save. Next to threaten Liverpool's net was Iceland international Gylfi Sigurdsson, whose effort was arrowing for the top corner before Mignolet intervened. Just before halftime Jonjo Shelvey, a former Liverpool player, went close with a shot from a right wing corner that was deflected wide by Alberto Moreno. But having had a chance to regroup, Liverpool came out galvanized after the break and were soon on the front foot.

Though Liverpool were in the ascendency, its opening goal was down to a stroke of luck. As Henderson galloped onto a through ball Swansea's Spanish defender Amat got there first, but his clearance ricocheted off the Liverpool player and into the net past Fabianski.

+{"article": "(CNN)Foreign intervention in Yemen's chaos has dramatically raised the stakes in the Arabian Peninsula, threatening to expand what is already a civil war into a conflict pitting Iran against Saudi Arabia and an Arab coalition. The Saudis launched Operation \"Decisive Storm\" last Wednesday with dozens of airstrikes in an effort to blunt the advance of Houthi militia and allied army units on the port of Aden -- and to protect the last bastion of Yemen's internationally-recognized President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. There were also strikes in and around the capital, Sanaa, which resumed early Monday. Many analysts were surprised at the speed and scale of the Saudi air campaign, which the Kingdom said would continue until the Houthis -- a Shia minority that has swept across the country in the last six months -- retreated and laid down their arms. Essentially the Saudis are trying to bomb the Houthis to the negotiating table. The Houthis have responded by threatening a campaign of suicide bomb attacks inside Saudi Arabia. Iran, which has supported the Houthis as fellow Shia, described the Saudi offensive as a \"dangerous move that would kill any chance at peaceful resolution of the crisis.\" Yemen is becoming the latest battleground in a contest for regional superiority between Saudi Arabia and Iran that goes back to the overthrow of the Shah during Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979. It now resembles Syria, or Bosnia 20 years ago: a patchwork of shifting fiefdoms where force is the only means of influence. There is a real risk that Yemen will collapse as a state, with a revived independence movement in the south, the Houthis in the north, and the Sunni heartland in between. Adam Baron, a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and expert on Yemen's tortured recent history, says, \"It's not difficult to divine Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners' motivations for taking this action.\" The Houthis were on the verge of overrunning Aden, a strategic port that overlooks straits through which 20,000 merchant ships pass every year. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, 3.8 million barrels of oil a day passed through the Bab el Mandab Straits in 2013. But Baron believes the Kingdom's \"decision to launch a full-scale military action truly risks inflaming the situation further. It will be seen as an act of aggression by most Yemenis and risks taking the situation to a place that no-one will be able to control.\" As in Afghanistan, factions in Yemen do not respond well to foreign intervention. In 2009 the Saudis took military action against the Houthis in support of then President Ali Abdullah Saleh, using airstrikes and special forces, but were unable to subdue them. Now the Houthis have at least some of the $500 million in military equipment provided by the U.S. to Yemen since 2010, and they have proved to be capable fighters. They staged a lightning invasion of the capital, Sanaa, last September, taking advantage of popular discontent and an unwillingness among many army units to resist them.

The episode marks the first rescue of a leatherback sea turtle in South Carolina and is believed to be only the fifth live rescue of this species in the United States, according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The endangered turtle was found stranded on the Yawkey-South Island Preserve, a wildlife refuge near Georgetown, South Carolina. Rescuers named it Yawkey. Because the turtle is believed to be a juvenile -- rescuers say it's probably less than 10 years old -- and has not reached sexual maturity, biologists can't yet determine its sex. Rescuers found no external signs of trauma to the reptile, although it was hypoglycemic. Staffers with the aquarium's sea turtle rescue program gave it antibiotics, vitamins and some time to recover at their facilities. The treatments appear to be helping. Aquarium officials said the turtle was more energetic Tuesday than when it was first admitted. Even so, leatherback turtles historically don't do well in captivity. For that reason, aquarium staffers are working with the state's Department of Natural Resources to determine the best place and time to release the turtle back into the ocean -- most likely within the next few days.

+{"article": "(CNN)This has to be one of the least convincing scandals. During the four years that Hillary Clinton was secretary of state she used (brace yourselves) a personal email account! Perhaps she thought this was a way of ensuring that Barack Obama didn't read her emails. Either way, Republican attempts to turn this into Hillary's Roswell fall short of the mark. On a scale of one to Watergate, I'd give this three. It is true that by using a commercial account, Clinton opened herself up to being hacked. It is also true that the rules of the National Archives and Records Administration stipulate that personal emails should only be used in \"emergency situations\" -- and as a historian I recognize the need for transparency and for keeping a record of everything written and sent for the appreciation of future generations. And we'll recall, by the way, that officials in George W. Bush's administration did something like this -- using nonofficial email accounts for official business -- and were hounded by the Democrats for it. But whenever Clinton pinged an email to an official government account, then the conversation would still have been archived, and her office insists that emails from her personal account were handed over anyway. The suggestion that she thought she might have \"something to hide\" would only make sense if she had used her personal account on some occasions but not others. She would have to have been blessed with the gift of clairvoyance to know back in 2009 that there would some day be controversy surrounding her handling of a siege of a U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya -- and that it might be best to use personal email so as to cover her tracks in the future. Clinton may be many things, but the Republicans have yet to throw the witchcraft charge. Jeb Bush is angry about Clinton's email farrago and has tweeted that transparency matters. He is keen that we should know that he has a website that documents all the email exchanges that he had as governor of Florida. Why on God's Earth he's chosen to construct this archive, I can't imagine. It's the kind of grand gesture that politicians imagine the voters will be swayed by but actually leaves us thinking, \"Don't you have better things to do than this?\" Or else wondering if there's been some careful selecting of the emails to put the former governor in a good light. Oh, there are some critical communications in the Jeb Bush archives. But I'm suspicious that he appears never once to have been contacted by a Nigerian prince to say that he has $12 million that he's trying to transfer out of the country or by a Russian lady looking for a husband. Perhaps such conversations took place through Bush's personal account -- in which case, we need to know what he said in reply.

These statements begin to make sense once you realize that they're all the names of modern hotel brands. According to Chekitan S. Dev, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, hotels traditionally have been named after an owner or a place. But more recently, he says, \"the naming process has evolved from an off-the-cuff process into something far more systematic.\" So what's behind this influx of idiosyncratic hotel names, replete with misspellings and unexpected word usages? Look to millennials and psychographics -- the study of personality, attitudes, interests and lifestyles. Psychologists say the millennial psychographic is made up of independent-minded, adventurous individuals in search of new experiences. Hospitality brands are crafting their marketing strategies accordingly. \"Hotel companies are lazering in on consumer needs by using psychographic data in a big way,\" says Matthew Von Ertfelda, Marriott's vice president for insight, strategy and innovation. The explosion of social media also has a starring role in the name game. Brands of the 21st century need to have handles that resonate in the global, online world, say the pros. \"Thanks to social media, millennials are the first global generation,\" says Dr. Donna Quadri-Felitti, academic chair of New York University's School of Professional Studies Tisch Center for Hospitality and Tourism. \"And since this generation is so enamored with texting and tweeting, hotels really have to think how names will play in the new media world.\" For social media purposes, the number of characters in a name counts. Spelling is often sacrificed in the quest for brevity. But another reason for purposeful misspellings may be legal. Spelling is often set into an uncommon form to retain meaning while being trademarkable. \"The odder the name, the less likely someone has already captured it,\" says Cornell professor Dev. \"That's important in terms of intellectual property protection.\" It may explain why Venu and Vib are missing an \"e.\" Venu is a just-announced lifestyle brand, launching its first property in Dubai in 2017.

Hence Vib, which is derived from \"vibrant.\" Color also plays a big part in hotel branding. \"We incorporated a bright persimmon red in the design and the logo, in order to reflect the (Vib) brand's bold personality,\" says Lew.

After she's released from an Indiana bunker, Kimmy moves to New York to start a life, and much of the humor comes from her misunderstanding of the modern world, her seventh-grade education and her relationships with a diverse cast of pals. Since its debut, Buzzfeed has declared that the show has a \"major race problem,\" and others criticized its treatment of an Asian character named Dong. Slate says that the critics \"aren't wrong ... but they are missing the point.\" \"Tina Fey's high-wire act is all about the alchemy of making it OK to laugh at big, heavy issues -- like kidnapped women, the experience of undocumented Vietnamese immigrants, and people with Native American ancestry passing as white -- by skimming over them with a light touch,\" Arthur Chu wrote on Slate. The Daily Dot's Jacqueline Keeler wrote that she once hid her Native American past, just like Kimmy's employer, a wealthy woman played by Jane Krakowski. Keeler said that watching the show made her uncomfortable but at the same time praised Fey's \"genius\" writing. But Tituss Burgess, who plays Kimmy's black gay roommate, Titus (whom some have called a stereotype), says the whole controversy is \"ridiculous.\" He told the Huffington Post, \"I just find it hilarious that people are trying to arrest us for doing the opposite of what everyone thinks we're doing.\" The show is certainly not afraid to go right up to the edge with jokes about race, age, class, gender and sexuality.

A passenger on a US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Charlotte, North Carolina, had to make a stop in Greensboro when she went into labor on Tuesday, according to CNN affiliate WXII. Thankfully, the baby, named Nylah, waited until her mother had landed to arrive on airport property. Mother and child were later transported to Women's Hospital in Greensboro, where the hospital said both were doing well. The flight took off for Charlotte after the woman left the aircraft. There have been a couple of airline-related births recently. A child was born on Southwest Airlines Flight 623 shortly after takeoff on December 9. The aircraft departed from San Francisco bound for Phoenix but diverted to Los Angeles International Airport. A nurse and doctor on board assisted with the delivery. On December 31, Delta Air Lines Flight 2566 from San Francisco to Minneapolis was diverted to Salt Lake City when a passenger went into labor during the flight. The woman was taken by the local fire department to the University of Utah Hospital, where she gave birth to a boy. US Airways requires passengers with a due date within seven days of flight to provide a doctor's certificate, dated within 72 hours of departure, \"stating that he or she has examined you and determined that you are fit to fly.\" If the mother on Tuesday's flight had been flying American Airlines, which owns US Airways, she might not have been able to travel.

It recommends that pregnant travelers check with their doctors after the eighth month of pregnancy. Southwest Airlines recommends that female travelers consult with their doctors before traveling at any stage of pregnancy and warns specifically against air travel beginning at the 38th week of pregnancy. Southwest goes into even more detail. \"While air travel does not usually cause problems during pregnancy unless delivery is expected within 14 days or less, in some cases, traveling by air has been known to cause complications or premature labor. \"Depending on their physical condition, strength, and agility, pregnant women may, in some cases, be asked not to sit in the emergency exit row.\"", "summary": "A US Airways flight diverts to Greensboro for a passenger in labor .

That's what first caught the attention of Lisa Mearkle, a police officer in Hummelstown Borough, Pennsylvania, who ordered Kassick, 59, to pull over on February 2. Instead, Kassick fled. Moments later, he lay dead on the ground in a yard near a relative's home. On Tuesday, Mearkle was arrested on a homicide charge following a state police investigation into the shooting. Mearkle's attorney, who described the use of deadly force in the case as justified, said he is girding his client for national scrutiny as the case finds itself on a growing list of officer-involved shootings. The final moments leading to Kassick's death were captured on video which Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico Jr. said was critical in bringing the homicide charges. It was around 4 p.m. on February 2 when the 15-year police veteran first attempted to pull Kassick over, according to the charging documents. Instead of pulling over, Kassick took off and Mearkle gave chase, flipping on her lights and sirens. Less than a mile away, Kassick pulled into the driveway of a relative he'd been staying with and ran off on foot into the backyard, with Mearkle following close behind. As they ran through the yards behind Grandview Drive, the charging documents said, Mearkle fired her stun gun, automatically engaging a built-in audio and visual recording device. Marsico described the video: . \"She's running, she's tasing him, he falls to the ground. He's sort of writhing around on the ground a little bit,\" Marsico said. Standing several feet behind his prone body, Mearkle shouts for Kassick to show his hands. Despite the commands, Marsico said there were multiple points in the videos where Kassick is seen reaching beneath himself, his hands obscured to Mearkle. Holding the Taser in her left hand, court documents said, Mearkle drew her gun in her right hand and, while continuing to shout \"show me your hands,\" fired twice into Kassick's back. Kassick was pronounced dead at the scene. He was unarmed. Marsico said the video was critical in determining the first criminal charges brought against a police officer in a shooting like this in his 15 years as district attorney. \"He was face down on the ground, no weapon had been displayed. He didn't approach her, he didn't come toward her, he didn't verbally threaten her in any way,\" Marsico said of Kassick. \"It's our position that her use of deadly force was not necessary.\" CNN has filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the video, which it has not independently viewed. Mearkle later told investigators she thought Kassick had been reaching into his jacket for a gun, according to court documents. \"What was she supposed to do?\" Mearkle's attorney, Brian Perry said. \"She felt that this was the only option that she had.\" \"Keep in mind she had tased this individual four times and was screaming commands to him and he kept reaching under,\" Perry said.

Critics of the law contend it could be used by individuals and businesses to discriminate -- particularly against the LGBT community of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals -- on the basis of religion. The ramifications for the Hoosier State are just starting to be felt in the form of boycotts, petitions and travel bans. As the controversy mushrooms, here's what got us to where we are. And where things are headed. Last week, Pence put his signature on the RFRA -- a law that allows Indiana businesses to cite their religious freedom as a legal defense. The law states that the government can't \"substantially burden a person's exercise of religion\" and that individuals who feel like their religious beliefs have been or could be \"substantially burdened\" can lean on this law to fend off lawsuits. In an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, Pence says the RFRA \"ensures that Indiana law will respect religious freedom and apply the highest level of scrutiny to any state or local governmental action that infringes on people's religious liberty.\" Pence notes that there is no reference to sexual orientation in the law. Civil liberties and gay rights groups hold to their stance that the law could be used by businesses to deny service to people based on their sexual orientation and justify that discrimination based on their religious belief. \"Silence is consent!\" tweets Laurel Davilia, a commentator on Brass Knuckles Progressives Radio. From sports teams to musicians to other cities and states, they fell like dominoes. The NCAA, which is headquartered in Indianapolis and set to host its men's basketball Final Four in the city this week, said the law could lead it to move events elsewhere in future years. The NBA, WNBA and NFL issued critical statements too. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay says fans of all stripes are welcome. \"The Colts have always embraced inclusiveness, tolerance, and a diverse fan base,\" Irsay tweets. \"We welcome ALL fans to Colts Nation. ONE FAMILY!\" A petition posted on change.org hopes to get the Big Ten Conference to move its football championship out of Indianapolis. \"I think that Indiana needs to be told that it must respect all persons regardless of sex, age, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation,\" Sean Burke of Madison, Wisconsin, says in the petition. \"As a football fan, I think we can send a message by calling on the NCAA and Big Ten Conference to take a stand.\" Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is scheduled to host the league's championship game through the 2021 season. At last check, the petition had more than 11,000 supporters. The mayors of San Francisco and Seattle have barred spending on travel to Indiana.

+{"article": "(CNN)When it comes to the U.S. fraternity and sorority system, it's a disturbing truth: Life is largely segregated by race, money and power; and, yet, most of us find that unsurprising. This week, however, we got more evidence this callous status quo needs to change. The push came in the form of a nine-second YouTube video, which I'm sure you've seen by now. It reportedly shows members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the University of Oklahoma chanting these chilling lines: \"There will never be a ni**** SAE. You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me.\" \"The students on the bus clap and pump their fists as they boisterously chant,\" CNN's Eliott C. McLaughlin writes, describing a clip that rocketed around social media, leading OU's president, David Boren, to rightfully shutter and ban that fraternity from the school. The video is hard to watch, but I have a feeling it's one we need to see, both because it hints at the inner workings of certain Greek organizations, and because it shows the persistent racism that still exists in the United States. I'm thankful someone -- someone who was on the bus to witness the racist chants -- was brave enough to film this and to help it become public. That alone should give some reason for hope. Others weren't, but I was shocked by the video. This, in 2015? In my home state? Both of my parents participated in Greek life in Oklahoma, but at a different university. I know from their stories that these groups can be the basis for lifelong friendships and civic engagement. What happened on the bus at OU doesn't negate their positive experiences. But it should cause us to question a system that is inherently built around the concept of exclusion. Sometimes students are excluded from Greek life, in theory, because they're seen as uncool or don't \"fit in\" with a particular chapter. But we'd be kidding ourselves if we didn't realize that, often, a person's race -- or sexual orientation, for that matter -- factors into this you're-in, you're-out process.

And it's hard for me not to see the SAE video as a manifestation -- an admittedly extreme one -- of this exclusionist ideology. This is a case of dangerous group-think run amok. In a system that remains largely divided by race, perhaps videos like this shouldn't be so surprising. That's the view of Matthew Hughey, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut who studies racial dynamics in American Greek life. The U.S. fraternity and sorority system is \"a form of American apartheid,\" he told me in an interview on Monday. Instead of thinking of the Oklahoma fraternity members as \"bad apples,\" he said, we should see them as part of a \"bad orchard.\" That orchard includes, but isn't limited to, Greek organizations, he told me.

+{"article": "(CNN)Through his work in fashion, Erik Schnakenberg was drawn to the classic Americana style that has seen a revival in the past decade. He was turned off by the price tag of American-made clothing: basic crew-neck tees starting at $50, unembellished selvedge denim jeans priced at $250 and up, Oxford cloth button-downs cut and sewn in Los Angeles ranging from $150 to $300. \"It's that effortless design that most guys look good wearing, but it wasn't really happening for anyone except at the higher price point,\" Schnakenberg said. To help shrink the gap, Schnakenberg and his Los Angeles neighbor, Sasha Koehn, started a business with a goal of lowering the barrier to \"made in USA\" fashion. Buck Mason has been up and running since late 2013, offering a focused collection of American-made garments. Prices range from $24 for a t-shirt to $155 for its most expensive pair of jeans, about 25% to 50% less than comparable brands boasting the \"made in USA\" label. How do they keep costs down? By focusing on just a few items and cutting out the middleman so they can sell directly to customers through their website and storefront in Venice, California, they say. With the help of the Internet and social media, they have been able to build their brand and find an audience without the help of chains or department stores. \"It didn't make sense for us to not do it this way,\" Koehn said. \"Maybe that's us being naive or not thinking like a traditional business manager, but I don't see how we could have got this started any other way.\" Brands selling directly to customers is nothing new in retail, and it's still a big gamble for most. Traditional middlemen such as department stores, chains and boutiques help legitimize brands and expose them to consumers faster than brands may be able to build their own fan bases. But some small businesses are finding the cost of that exposure too onerous. By selling directly to consumers, brands increase their margins, control inventory based on their own projections and don't have to worry about returns from retail store customers. They also have complete control over pricing and may be able to offer lower prices to consumers, said Jack W. Plunkett, CEO of market research company Plunkett Research. Fueled by venture capital investors, there has been strong growth in new direct to consumer brands, and not only in clothing, Plunkett said. But very few actually manufacture in the United States because of the high cost of doing business, especially compared with global competitors. For Buck Mason, manufacturing in the United States is a matter of principle and direct to consumer a means to that end, Schnakenberg said. \"It's that idea of looking at our product and taking pride in creating something from scratch. We may not sell 100 million t-shirts, but we can say we're to create one thing and make it all here and be part of the process,\" Schnakenberg said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Hillary Clinton worked hard last week to put the \"dead end\" sign on the State Department email story by announcing there was nothing to find. But in her rush to control the narrative, Clinton may have (once again) missed the bigger picture: In politics as much as in business, authenticity matters. Her press conference had the familiar ring of a controlled performance -- the carefully parsed explanation, the combative posture -- that stretched our belief that what she's telling us is really the whole story. People wonder: Is she playing it straight with us? Why the nagging suspicion that Brand Hillary does not include bringing to the public table who she really is? As the author Joe McGinniss reported in his classic book on the 1968 Nixon campaign, \"The Selling of a President,\" political consultants long ago began marketing candidates like bars of soap. The practice has accelerated since the '60s as campaigns have concluded that political brands face the same tests among voters that consumer brands do among customers. And among consumers today, authenticity means more to success than at any other time in the history of brands. The desire for authenticity is a tangible driver of revenue for brands. Increasingly, people want to give their money to brands -- political as well as commercial -- that have a set of values they can also buy into. As author James H. Gilmore told The New York Times, a sense of authenticity reinforces trust in what is real \"in an increasingly staged, contrived and mediated world.\" A recent global study found that 63% of consumers would buy a brand they perceive as authentic over its competitors, and more than 60% would recommend an organization they perceive to be authentic. Ignoring the importance of authenticity to voters is a significant risk, as both Mitt Romney and Al Gore learned too late. And they were running in a perceptual environment more forgiving than today's. Voters easily identified the space between who these candidates really were and how they wanted us to perceive them. Romney, the successful entrepreneur and moderate politician, struggled to seem ordinary and \"severely conservative,\" while Gore was perceived as having such an overblown sense of himself that the claim of having invented the Internet stuck to him like mud, even though he'd never said it. The two shared what will likely also be Clinton's destiny: winning a party nomination by default as there were few compelling alternatives. For Clinton, an uncontested rise to the Democratic nomination could mislead her campaign into believing that she doesn't have a problem with authenticity. She does, especially among Independents and Republicans. To be fair, Clinton's appeal as potentially the first woman to reach the White House makes her seem virtually bulletproof among certain voting groups. A recent Gallup Poll shows \"first female\" status as the \"best thing about a Hillary Clinton presidency,\" leading the positives mentioned by 30% of Democrats and 17% of Independents.

+{"article": "(CNN)She married a man whose first wife mysteriously disappeared. And she stood by him even after he admitted killing a neighbor and chopping up the body. But who is Debrah Lee Charatan, the wife of millionaire heir Robert Durst? And what role has she played in his life? Charatan hasn't spoken publicly since her husband's arrest in New Orleans over the weekend, and CNN was unable to reach her for comment. In \"The Jinx,\" the HBO documentary about Durst's life, she appears in a police interview from more than a decade ago. The series also includes excerpts from jailhouse recordings of phone conversations between Durst and Charatan. Charatan says she met Durst in 1988, six years after his first wife went missing. The two were married in a rushed ceremony just weeks before Durst's longtime friend Susan Berman turned up dead in Beverly Hills, California. This week, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office charged Durst with first-degree murder in that case. It's an accusation he has long denied. He also has said he had nothing to do with his first wife's disappearance. In a 2003 trial, he admitted he'd shot a neighbor in Galveston, Texas, and dismembered the body, but was acquitted of murder after arguing he'd acted in self defense. Recorded jailhouse calls from Durst's imprisonment during that case suggest that Charatan was his rock. \"Am I supposed to be smiling or am I supposed to be grim?\" Durst asks in one conversation discussing how he should appear during his trial. Charatan quickly replies, \"I would just have as close to no expression, yeah, that's what I think.\" She was also a driving force behind the decision to fire attorney Michael Kennedy, a lawyer Durst's wealthy real estate developer family had tapped to handle the case. The insanity defense Kennedy was planning to use, she said at the time, could have meant both Durst and Charatan were cut out of the family fortune. \"What he doesn't want is me to get any of the trust money later on, since I'm not your wife because you were incompetent at the time, OK, that means they are the only ones who can make your decisions,\" she says in another call. Like Durst himself, Charatan is a powerful player on the New York real estate scene. \"She's not some opportunistic woman who came into Bob's life for monetary gain. She was very successful, a millionaire several times over long before she met Bob,\" said Amir Korangy, publisher of TheRealDeal.com. Susan Criss, the retired judge who presided over the 2003 trial, said from listening to hours of tapes and testimony that it's clear that Charatan is motivated by financial gain. \"It's very clear that she only cares about the money,\" Criss said. Some former friends and employees described Charatan in less than glowing terms. Former employees have successfully sued her for failing to pay commissions. According to sources, she only briefly lived with Durst and they are now separated, though still married.

+{"article": "(CNN)Just when you didn't think Republicans could top themselves in finding ways to disrespect the President of the United States, on Monday, 47 Republican Senators -- that is, all but seven -- sent a letter to Iran that appeared aimed at scuttling President Obama's diplomatic efforts to prevent Tehran developing nuclear weapons capacity. The move comes on the heels of House Republicans inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress -- without even informing the White House of the plan to issue an invitation. But this latest measure went a step further, seeing Republicans in Congress literally stepping on the constitutional toes of the executive branch and formally intruding on U.S. diplomacy. Under the Logan Act passed by Congress way back in 1799, U.S. citizens are prevented from influencing \"disputes or controversies\" involving the United States and a foreign government, without express authority to do so. Now, it appears the Iran letter was carefully drafted by Sen. Tom Cotton, a smart constitutional lawyer, to come as close as possible to the line of legality without crossing it, specifically by not explicitly taking a position against the Iran negotiations. Yet the intent to interfere with the executive branch is clear. It's one thing for Congress to demand it ratify such a deal (as Democrats did in 2002 when President Bush negotiated arms reductions with Russian President Vladimir Putin). But it's something else entirely to undermine the authority of the White House by sending a partisan letter to a foreign government (something Democrats didn't do with Russia). Sadly, this is only the most recent and extreme example of dishonor and disrespect. In the Washington Post, columnist Jonathan Capehart recently outlines what he sees as the top six instances of disrespect toward President Obama. His list includes the example of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani saying, \"I do not believe that the President loves America.\" Also on Capehart's list are the time a reporter from the conservative Daily Caller website interrupted the President during remarks at the White House about immigration reform in 2012, and the time South Carolina congressman Joe Wilson, a Republican, heckled the President during his speech to a joint session of Congress about health care reform. (Wilson shouted \"You lie!\" in response to remarks by the President that, it should be noted, were in fact quite true). And there are plenty more examples of Republican slights against President Obama. Most famously, there was the widespread questioning of Obama's citizenship and academic credentials that included signs at conservative rallies describing Obama as a \"lyin' African.\" And there was the Republican women's group that created an image of \"food stamp dollars\" with Obama's face on them (as well as a bucket of KFC and watermelon). There was also Republican presidential candidate and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich decrying Obama's \"Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior.\" Plus there was then-Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer waving her finger at President Obama when she greeted Air Force One on the tarmac. Brewer later alleged she \"felt a little bit threatened\" by the President.

+{"article": "(CNN)You would be pressed to find a designer who appealed to the imagination as much as Alexander McQueen. A favorite with A-listers and fashion editors alike, he was renowned for his Gothic sensibilities, innovative textiles (think shells, horns and hair) and highly conceptual runway shows, as well as his bad boy antics behind the scenes. (Along with the usual drinks, drugs and parties, he once claimed to have stitched profanities into the lining of a jacket for Prince Charles.) Five years after his death, interest in the designer hasn't waned, least of all in his home town of London, where, starting this month, he's being commemorated with an extensive, expensive retrospective at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, a re-staging of the 2011 exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, summarizes and contextualizes McQueen's 18-year career through an elaborate display of 244 garments and accessories. \"Savage Beauty at the V&A is the largest and most ambitious fashion exhibition the museum has ever staged,\" said curator Claire Wilcox at a press preview. The V&A has already sold 70,000 advanced tickets, and extended the exhibition by two weeks to meet demand. At the Met, Savage Beauty attracted over 660,000 visitors by the end of its four-month run, making it one of the museum's top 10 exhibitions of all time, up there with a King Tut stop in 1978 and a Mona Lisa loan in 1963. Bringing Savage Beauty to London can be seen as a \"homecoming,\" as it was described by V&A director Martin Roth at the press preview, if not an act of repatriation. The son of cab driver and a school teacher, Alexander \"Lee\" McQueen grew up in London's East End. After dropping out of school at 16, he honed his tailoring skills on Savile Row, graduated with an MA in fashion design from the city's prestigious Central Saint Martins college, and used the V&A's archives to research his collections. He once said of London: \"It's where my heart is, and where I get my inspiration.\" That love was largely reciprocated. In 2011, thousands of British devotees petitioned to have Savage Beauty brought to London after its spectacular New York debut. Fashion journalist Melanie Rickey was one of the most vocal proponents. A longtime fan, she has coauthored the upcoming release Inferno: Alexander McQueen (Laurence King), a coffee table book of interviews and images from photographer Kent Baker, which documents March 1996 collection Dante. \"I was agitated because (Savage Beauty) really is meant to be in his hometown,\" Rickey says. \"Everything about him is London, so to not have it in London would have been a crime.\" Along with hounding the brand's corporate honchos and the V&A itself, Rickey started an online petition to have the exhibition brought to the city, and instigated the Twitter hashtag #BringMcQueenExhibitionHome. \"It's like the (Elgin) Marbles: They're probably a lot more powerful in Greece than they are sitting in the British Museum.\" Ultimately, such advocacy may have been unnecessary.

You push through a crowd dancing to a live rockabilly band and head to the toilet, tipsy. Then something weird happens -- you exit the washroom and find yourself in a different bar. The early 1900s dance hall with chandeliers has vanished. Suddenly, you're in a whimsical bar with a pirate serving drinks. No, you haven't had too much to drink and the washroom isn't a passageway through a time-space continuum. You've simply stepped into the maritime-themed Mermaid Bar. Inside Lefty's Old Time Music Hall, the Mermaid Bar is an example of the latest nightlife trend in Brisbane -- hidden bars. Sultry old days . \"We actually didn't mean to turn the Mermaid into a secret bar,\" says Mick Dwyer, general manager of Lefty's. \"We were just lazy and didn't publicize it.\" The story behind the hidden bar takes in a bit of sultry local history. Before Lefty's moved in, the building was occupied by the Velvet Cigar, a longtime strip club. Jamie Webb, owner of local restaurant Peasant and Cabiria, took over the place and renovated it, preserving some of the old establishment's bawdy touches. \"We loved the mirror too much to take it down,\" says Webb, referring to the long mirror that still runs the length of one wall. \"It used to be in front of the dance floor for the girls, but we turned the dance floor into booths.\" \"If you look at the floor, you can still see some of the holes where dancing poles used to be,\" says Dwyer. A list of prices for services rendered by different girls still hangs inside the toilet. The bar counter upstairs is where customers once paid for extra services from dancers before entering a small room (now the Mermaid Bar, which sells beer in cans). Mermaid Bar: Secret escape . \"There are actually three entrances to the Mermaid Bar,\" says Webb of the hidden bar. \"It's my favorite place. It's a lot of loud fun out there at Lefty's sometimes, and the Mermaid is like my escape.\" The small Mermaid is bright, with light shining through the windows. Sharks hang from the ceiling and paintings of mermaids adorn the walls. People love the Mermaid for different reasons. \"Some like the bartender dressed up as a pirate,\" says Dwyer. \"Some say it's the cannon on the pirate ship model behind the bar.\" That pirate bartender, Dean Moready, says the apple rum made from fresh-pressed apple juice is the real crowd-pleaser.

+{"article": "(CNN)Creflo Dollar's new scheme to raise $60 million to purchase a luxury Gulfstream G650 airplane is the latest chapter in a long and sordid history of televangelists exploiting their churches' tax-exempt status -- and their congregants -- to line their own pockets. Preaching the word of faith, or \"prosperity gospel,\" and capitalizing on lax government oversight of his church's finances has enriched Dollar and his family to the detriment of his followers and the American taxpayer. World Changers Church International, Dollar's 30,000-member church, is a tax-exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code. That means the church's donors receive a tax exemption for their donations (including for Dollar's new jet ambitions), and the church pays no tax on the revenue. What's more, because it is organized as a church, the federal government does not require World Changers to file a publicly available tax return, as other nonprofit organizations are required to do. Those tax returns provide at least some financial information to donors and the public about the organization, including its revenues, assets, expenditures and executive compensation. Dollar is known for his custom suits, luxury homes and private jets that ferry him, among other places, from his home base in College Park, Georgia, to his satellite church in Manhattan, where he and his wife reportedly have a $2.5 million apartment. For Dollar, though, these excesses aren't embarrassments. Instead, they are proof that his theology works, that God blesses the faithful with abundant riches. Dollar tells his congregants to \"sow a seed\" with him, promising that a plentiful harvest will be their own blessing and, essentially, a return on their investment. To promoters of the word of faith, or prosperity gospel, \"sowing a seed\" with your pastor is required for God's blessing, even if you're taking it out of your rent money or the last remaining cash in your wallet. Many Christians find word of faith a heretical theology, an embarrassing distortion of Jesus' teachings, not to mention a fraud on congregants. While the government cannot constitutionally mediate theological disputes or otherwise interfere in a church's internal affairs, it can use its oversight powers to ensure that preachers who use their pulpits for profit don't exploit the tax advantages afforded to ordinary houses of worship to pursue their legitimate charitable purposes. In 2007, the Senate Finance Committee, under the chairmanship of Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, launched an investigation into the financial practices of six televangelists, including Dollar. The committee requested documents from Dollar and his wife, Taffi, explaining that taxpayers \"should be assured that their donations are being used for the tax exempt purposes of the organizations.\" The documents sought by the committee included audited financial statements for World Changers, information about related for-profit and nonprofit entities, and data on executive compensation and the church's real and personal assets. More than three years later, after an outcry from the televangelists, most visibly Dollar's mentor Kenneth Copeland, the committee opted to abandon its efforts to instigate any sort of regulatory changes.

+{"article": "(CNN)Dante Alighieri, the father of the Italian language, is turning in his grave. Believe it or not, the land where Latin originated and from which many other European languages descend is becoming \"illiterate.\" Not only have Italians long forgotten the language of their Roman Empire, but they hardly know how to speak and write proper Italian. They've been negatively dubbed \"asini\" (donkeys), as in \"stupid.\" If you take a look at Italian language forums and debate websites it's clear that many Italians are clueless on grammar and don't even know how to use verbs properly. At age 15, Italian students rank below the OECD average literacy level and Eurostat reports that Italy has the lowest percentage of university graduates aged 30-34 in the European Union. The media reflect society. Evening news bulletins are full of speakers and commentators making grammatical errors and even mispronouncing words. How could Dante's land become \"ignorant\" and will the government's plans to institute yet another education reform succeed in turning some donkeys -- if not into nerds -- at least into smart pupils? The decline in language skills is a trend affecting most of the Western world, but the fact that this is happening in Italy, home to some of the world's oldest universities, is quite alarming. The Romans built an empire united by the Latin language, but Italians seem to have lost such heritage. Italians were once \"literate\" -- as in \"Latin-speakers and Latin-writers\" -- grammar-savvy, poetry lovers, rhetoric freaks and great philosophers. Now they've forgotten what a conjunctive verb is, mistake adjectives for nouns and write Machiavelli with a double \"c.\" Oh -- and they don't know how to break words into syllables. True, one could say Italian is a tough language, one of the most complex in the world. But that's not a good excuse. The Italian people's declining knowledge of their language is turning into a national emergency. It's not just lazy students who are responsible. The percentage of lawyers who every year flunk the written examination to become a judge is scary. When I attended university, the most dreaded exam of all was the essay on Italian literature and history. Few of my buddies passed it at the first go, others had to take it thrice and many just gave up. So how did we fall so low? Fine, ICT, smartphones and SMS are partly to blame. Abbreviations, misspellings and the introduction of many English words into Italian have impoverished language skills. Yet on its own that explanation is too reductive. The loss of Latin teaching in schools is at the root of the problem. Learning Latin assists in learning Italian and other languages as well as opening the mind to all fields of knowledge. It's been no secret across generations of scholars that being familiar with the complexity of Latin phrase structure and idioms is positive for students.

+{"article": "(CNN)Dropping red meat, and sticking to a plant-based diet that incorporates fish may be the key to preventing colorectal (colon and rectum) cancers, according to a seven-year study published Monday. Pescetarians, as they are commonly referred, had a 43% lower chance of getting the cancer compared to people with omnivorous diets. Why focus on colorectal cancer? It is the third most diagnosed cancer, and the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the US in 2014, according to American Cancer Society statistics. The disease is particularly dangerous because it is usually asymptomatic in its early stages, making it more difficult to detect when it's less deadly. Only 59% of those recommended for screenings receive procedures that are in line with the American Cancer Society's standards. The study, which followed nearly 78,000 people and was published in the Journal of American Medical Association, adds to the growing body of evidence touting the health benefits of a plant-based diet. Another study, reviewing data from 39 separate studies showing that a plant based diet leads to an average drop in blood pressure similar to 30-60 minutes of exercise per day. Yet another study from last year found an average weight loss of nearly 7.5 pounds for vegetarians. While evidence shows the health benefits of reducing red meat consumption, the recent study highlights the differences between even a fully vegetarian diet and a pescetarian diet. Within the sample group there was a 27% drop in the risk of contracting colorectal cancer if you switch from fully vegetarian to eating fish. The authors of the study suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may be the key to such a low risk of cancer in the pescetarian group. Nutritionist Lisa Drayer agrees. \"In addition to other dietary factors, fish may provide added protection from its high content omega-3 fatty acids. This is consistent with previous research that has found omega-3s have anti-cancer activity and that they may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.\" Some questions can be raised though, from observing the recent study's participants Seventh Day Adventists, a group that typically avoids alcohol and tobacco. But despite the caveat, Drayer is optimistic. \"While the study is observational and cannot prove a cause/effect relationship, it is exciting to think that in addition to regular screenings, a diet rich in fish and fiber-rich foods may play an important role in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.\"", "summary": "A new study shows a 43% lower risk of contracting colorectal cancer with a pesco-vegetarian diet .

Harry's Reid's perfunctory announcement on Friday that he won't seek re-election next year -- leaving a vacancy for leadership of the Senate Democrats -- was followed, hours later, by a matter-of-fact statement in an interview with The Washington Post: \"I think Schumer should be able to succeed me.\" That would usher in a whirlwind of activity on Capitol Hill in the next year as New York's senior senator prepares to seize the reins of power -- and retool the party as a center-left powerhouse that can win and hold a majority in 2016 and beyond. Left-leaning activists have begun scrambling to block Chuck Schumer's rise. The progressive organization Democracy for America is calling for Sen. Elizabeth Warren to seek the leadership post, and the left-leaning Daily Kos website is circulating a poll seeking other challengers and denouncing Schumer as too close to the \"Wall Street wing\" of the Democratic Party. With more than a year to go before Senate Democrats will choose a new leader, anything can happen. But after watching Schumer in action for more than 20 years, I'd be surprised if he gets outsmarted in a political moment he has literally been working for a generation to create. With more than $13.4 million on hand in his campaign coffers, Schumer has more money than all but one member of the Senate -- and is the only Democrat in the top 10 in that category. He ran the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee when it took the majority in 2006 -- and while Democrats lost the majority during his second stint in the job in 2012, the field looks far more promising for them in 2016: Republicans must defend 24 seats, while Democrats need to protect only 10. Schumer brings an extraordinary level of personal political skill to the leadership fight. Even among the 100-member Senate -- home to a great many ambitious politicians with big egos -- Schumer has long operated at a high-octane level of smarts and media-savvy brashness that impress and occasionally startle his colleagues. Republican Bob Dole, a longtime lion of the Senate, once quipped that the most dangerous place to be in the Capitol is between Schumer and a television camera. The joke stuck -- but behind the gag is a sign of grudging respect for a man who excels at the basic block-and-tackle necessities of political life. Schumer is attuned to television and radio (growing up in the world's media capital will do that). In fact, he popularized a practice of holding press conferences on Sunday, a slow news day guaranteed to draw reporters -- and ensure him prominent placement in the Monday newspapers. But he is also a consummate street politician: At 64, he maintains a habit of biking around New York City neighborhoods without fanfare or an entourage, quietly noting local problems and occasionally inviting himself into a block party or parade.

In a tweet, the space agency said astronaut Terry Virts experienced water inside his helmet, just as he did Wednesday, but \"it's a known issue; no concern.\" The spacewalk lasted five hours and 38 minutes, NASA said. \"Crews have now spent a total of 1,171 hours and 29 minutes conducting space station assembly and maintenance during 187 spacewalks,\" the agency said in a release. NASA previously said the suit worn by NASA astronaut Virts has a history of \"sublimator water carryover.\" Water in the sublimator cooling component can condense when the suit is repressurized after a spacewalk, causing a small amount of water to push into the helmet, NASA said. NASA said International Space Station managers had \"a high degree of confidence\" in the suit. On the upcoming spacewalk, Virts and Barry Wilmore installed antennas to provide data to visiting vehicles and deploy 400 feet of cable along the edge of the station. Virts said he first noticed traces of fluid and dampness in his helmet Wednesday while he was waiting for the crew lock cabin to repressurize. He and Wilmore had been outside the space station for nearly seven hours working on the station's robotic arm and performing some maintenance. Virts immediately alerted fellow astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti about the water, and she alerted Mission Control in Houston. Cristoforetti helped Virts out of his helmet and examined it. She confirmed the presence of moisture, mostly in the helmet absorption pad, or HAP, describing it as \"wet and cold.\" At the request of Mission Control, Anton Shkaplerov used a syringe to draw as much water as he could from the top of the helmet. Water had collected in the white plastic at the top and around both ear cups. Shkaplerov estimated there was 15 milliliters of water in the helmet. That's a far cry from the amount of water that accumulated in Luca Parmitano's suit during a spacewalk in July 2013. Between 1 and 1.5 liters of water backed up in the suit and helmet, prompting fears Parmitano could drown in his own helmet. The spacewalk was cut short, and NASA implemented some changes to its suits, including the addition of absorbent padding in helmets. There was another intrusion of water into the helmet during another spacewalk on December 24, 2013. NASA commentator Rob Navias said it was noticed at the same point in the mission as Wednesday's leak -- during the repressurization of the crew lock, the area from which astronauts enter and exit ISS while in space.", "summary": "Spacewalk last more than five hours; crews have spent more than 1,171 hours spacewalking .

Due to reopen March 26, Spain's stunning Caminito del Rey features a cliff face boardwalk that hangs 100 meters above the Guadalhorce River. The trail, which begins in the village of El Chorro in southern Malaga province, has been around since the early 1900s, originally built to provide access to two waterfalls for hydroelectric workers. Over the years, the boardwalk deteriorated and, following a string of fatal accidents in 1999 and 2000, the government demolished the access points to the walkway. The reopening, which comes over a year since reconstruction efforts kicked off, coincides with Spain's annual Holy Week celebrations. According to the Spanish daily El Pais, the provincial government allocated 5.5 million euros ($5.8 million) to the project. The entire route is 7.7 kilometers long, with boardwalks covering 2.9 kilometers of the trail. The most famous section includes the Balconcillo de los Gaitanes bridge, which spans the Gaitanes Gorge.

It is the fifth portrait of the British monarch to be used on coins during her 63-year reign. Production of the new coins began Monday, and they will appear in circulation later this year, the Royal Mint said. The new design depicts the Queen wearing the royal diamond diadem crown from her coronation. Artist Jody Clark said he researched images online when deciding which crown to use. \"I think it's the most familiar and I wanted to make some clear distinctions between the (most recent) portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS, as Her Majesty really hasn't aged too much in the years since.\" \"FRBS\" refers to Rank-Broadley's fellowship in the Royal British Society of Sculptors, a professional organization that advances the art of sculpture. A panel selected Clark's design from a number by specialist designers across Britain invited to submit anonymous work. The design was then submitted to the British chancellor and the Queen for final approval. Clark is a member of the Royal Mint's team of designers and engravers. He is the first mint engraver to produce a definitive royal coinage portrait in more than a century, the organization said. \"Jody's achievement is something that we can celebrate as a proud moment for The Royal Mint. Capturing a portrait on the surface of a coin demands the utmost skill, and is one of the most challenging disciplines of the coin designer's art,\" chief executive Adam Lawrence said. \"This change of royal portrait will make 2015 a vintage year for UK coins, and it will be hugely exciting for us all to see the new design appear on the coins we use every day.\" Royal coinage portraits are usually updated every 15 to 20 years, the Royal Mint said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Early Intervention changes lives. Respite care keeps families together. Both save states money over time. Alas, both -- along with a huge swathe of other vital services -- are under attack by the administration of Bruce Rauner, the new Republican governor of Illinois. This is happening for two reasons. First, Rauner has a problem. He promised to lower taxes despite a $6.2 billion structural budget deficit. Unwilling to think about new revenue, all he can do is cut programs. Second, Rauner's cuts are taking place against the backdrop of a bigger attack on disability. Too many right-wing politicians and pundits see disability as a wedge issue with which they can divide interest groups, pit people who need help against each other and rip apart the core social safety net. Meanwhile, they reassure their base, which is filled with individuals who also need help from the state, that only they really deserve benefits. Like Rauner, other governors are cutting services in the name of austerity. Kansas, under Sam Brownback, has pushed disabled people off Medicaid, making services less effective and efficient. Scott Walker, in Wisconsin, has proposed cutting long-term care services in such a way as to limit individual choice of caregivers and service providers, empowering the healthcare industry and not disabled Americans. Florida has gutted benefits to severely disabled individuals in workers' compensation cases and eliminated countless positions in the Department of Health. And that's all just at the state level. Nationally, the new Congress began the year with a sustained attack on Social Security Disability Insurance, which some analysts see as a way to threaten the whole foundation of Social Security. Last December, House Republicans insisted that the ABLE act, a bill intended to help people with disabilities and their caregivers save money, only be offered to those who were disabled before the age of 26, a limitation aimed at excluding people who become disabled through work, disease, accident or age. Now Bruce Rauner is adding to this troubling pattern. The Rauner budget slashes state spending by over $4 billion, much of the savings gleaned by eliminating or reducing eligibility for programs based in the Department of Human Services (DHS). Each cut will come with costs to families and individuals who need the state's help most. Moreover, many of the cut programs actually save the state money over time. Take, for example, Early Intervention, which provides services to children with developmental delays from birth to age 3 at little cost to the parents (there are means-tested co-pays). At their best, these therapies not only help children with disabilities learn new skills, but also teach parents to better understand their children. Right now, a child who is at least 30% delayed in any category -- for example being at least 30% less able to use speech than a typical child of their age -- is eligible for services. Now, as explained to me by a spokesperson for DHS, the program has to save $23 million (they did not explain how this number was picked). The plan is to take every child who", "summary": "David Perry: Governors are making the wrong choice by aiming to cut disability programs and benefits .

+{"article": "Los Angeles (CNN)Federal agents on Tuesday raided more than three dozen \"maternity hotels\" in Southern California where foreign women give birth, allegedly for the sole purpose of having a U.S.-citizen baby, authorities said. The \"maternity tourism\" sites included apartment complexes in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties where authorities believe the businesses housed the foreign nationals about to give birth, federal officials said. Those targeted residences are believed to have catered largely to women from China, who paid $15,000 to $50,000 for lodging, transportation and food, according to a statement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Those fees don't necessarily include medical care, authorities said. Authorities are looking for evidence of bringing in and harboring of undocumented visitors; conspiracy, fraud and misuse of visas and permits; tax evasion and false tax returns; and willful failure to file report of foreign bank and financial accounts, court papers said. \"Based on the results of the investigations to date, it appears the women pay cash for prenatal visits and the actual delivery,\" U.S. authorities said. \"As part of the package, clients were promised they would receive Social Security numbers and U.S. passports for their infants, which the mothers would take with them when they left the U.S.\" Some of the packages included recreational trips to Disneyland, shopping malls and even to a firing range, authorities said. \"Any women encountered at the search locations will be interviewed and those identified as potential material witnesses will be directed when and where to report for further questioning,\" authorities said Tuesday. Investigators weren't expected Tuesday to comment further on the outcome of the raids, said ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice. In all, authorities obtained warrants for 37 locations and ended up searching more than 50 sites, including consensual searches, Kice said. The purported tourism businesses promoted themselves on the Internet and through social media, authorities said. One firm in Rancho Cucamonga, California, advertised in Chinese and branded itself as \"You Win USA Vacation Resort.\" Operators of that firm couldn't be immediately reached for comment Tuesday. Chinese women have been flocking to the United States to give birth, lured because the country grants American citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, CNN Money reported last month.

Corker is working on legislation that would force the Obama Administration to submit any deal reached with Iran for a vote by Congress. The White House earlier threatened to veto such a measure. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, in the three page letter released publicly Saturday evening, told Corker his legislation could be detrimental to the talks with Iran by \"emboldening Iranian hard-liners, inviting a counter-productive response from the Iranian majiles (Majles, the Parliament); differentiating the U.S. position from our allies in the negotiations; and once again calling into question our ability to negotiate this deal.\" As the U.S. and Iran prepare for the next round of negotiations this coming week, there has been a growing debate between Republicans on Capitol Hill and the Obama Administration about how much authority Congress has regarding the fate of the agreement. \"The legislation you have introduced in the Senate goes well beyond ensuring that Congress has a role to play in any deal with Iran. Instead, the legislation would potentially prevent any deal from succeeding by suggesting that Congress must vote to 'approve' any deal and by removing existing sanctions waiver authorities that have already been granted to the President,\" McDonough wrote. The chief of staff said that only Congress can terminate the existing Iran sanctions that are included in laws, but the President can relax some sanctions put into place by executive order unilaterally. One of the major issues between the U.S. and Iran is the timetable for lifting of the sanctions. \"If congressional action is perceived as preventing us from reaching a deal, it will create divisions within the international community, putting at risk the very international cooperation that has been essential to our ability to pressure Iran.

But the death toll, which included 17 tourists and at least one Tunisian security officer, could climb. Polish, Italian, German and Spanish tourists were among those killed, Essid said, with another 20 foreign tourists and two Tunisians wounded in the attack. \"It's a cowardly attack mainly targeting the economy of Tunisia,\" the Prime Minister said. \"We should unite to defend our country.\" The scene played out at a popular tourist destination in the heart of Tunisia's capital in a building linked to where the nation's parliament meets. Lawmakers there were in the middle of a committee meeting when they heard gunfire erupt. \"The tourists were frightened and they were running in different directions.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

In his message, the jihadi claimed to belong to Jund al-Khilafah in Tunisia, a group that in December pledged allegiance to ISIS, even though that vow didn't seem to have fully registered with the Islamist extremist group. His post comes after an ISIS fighter in Raqqa, Syria, recently appeared in a video questioning why jihadis in Tunisia had not pledged fealty. \"This raises the possibility that the museum attack could be ISIS' debut on the Tunisian stage, timed to precede a pledge of allegiance from Tunisian jihadis for maximum impact,\" CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Are your heroes disappointing you? You're not alone. Most people yearn for role models, for someone to admire and emulate. But then sometimes: Crash! Unless the superheroes perform their awe-inspiring work in the comic books or the movies, they eventually slide off the pedestal; or perhaps they get smashed down to the ground, breaking into too many pieces to repair. The admirer is left heartbroken or disillusioned. If you want to admire someone fully, you should not look too closely. If you want to admire them smartly, you should brace yourself for at least some measure of disappointment. In the political arena, the season of scrutiny and revelations is just getting started with Hillary Clinton and her email practices as secretary of state under the microscope. After a press conference at the United Nations on Tuesday, worries that she is too secretive and calculating are emerging again. For some diehard supporters, this is all about Clinton-hating Republican politics. But to people who may have held Clinton as a model and inspiration, it may raise doubts. Is Hillary a hero or is she not to be trusted? Or, is there an altogether different answer? For me, two individuals in particular were once important heroes. A couple of weeks ago, during a trip to the Middle East, I had the unexpected good fortune to meet someone I have admired for many years: the Liberian President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. I had the opportunity to chat with her, and the conversation left me even more impressed with her. She's a truly inspiring woman. I tweeted a picture of the President and me, calling her \"my hero,\" a word I seldom use. Moments later, I received a reply (since deleted) from a Twitter connection informing me that Sirleaf has a dismal record on gay rights and had very publicly announced she would refuse to sign a bill to end prison sentences for gay Liberians. The incident reminded me of what has happened with another woman I have admired greatly over the years, the Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Suu Kyi endured decades of house arrest and great personal hardship to help gain freedom for her people from a harsh military dictatorship that entrenched itself for half a century. It seemed a hopeless quest, but she persisted courageously. Then, four years ago, the situation changed. The government of Myanmar (also known as Burma) freed her from arrest and she became a member of parliament and an influential political leader. The woman who stood firm for her principles has suddenly gone silent on one of the worst abuses still occurring in her country: the brutal treatment of Myanmar's Rohingya minority. This disappointed many of her admirers. Like Sirleaf on LGBT issues, Suu Kyi is making cold political calculations on the issue of the Rohingya, weighing cost against benefit, and setting aside principles in the process. Does that mean we should ignore these women's incredible track records? Should we ignore the fact that Sirleaf became the first", "summary": "Frida Ghitis: Are your heroes disappointing you?

+{"article": "(CNN)There is only one likely outcome for Baghdad's current military offensive to reclaim Tikrit: defeat for ISIS. The campaign to restore central government authority over the restive Salahudin province is seen as both symbolic and strategic for Baghdad which has invested too much already for it to afford losing this battle. ISIS are said to have booby-trapped much of the city in an attempt to slow down the government assault. However, the task at hand has been made easier for Baghdad given that most civilians in Tikrit have already fled -- both to Kurdistan in the north as well as south to Baghdad -- leaving behind mostly ISIS jihadists who defend the city, according to Iraqi constitutional specialist Zaid al-Ali, who is from the city. Initial reports of the multi-pronged attack on Tikrit have been encouraging. Iraqi forces have already cleared a number of areas on the outskirts and are expected to continue advancing towards the city center as both heavy artillery and helicopter gunships pound ISIS militants who have taken up defensive positions. Another crucial element for the success of this battle will be the varied make-up of the groups involved in the fight. The joint Iraqi forces fighting to retake Tikrit include Iraqi troops, members of the mainly Shia Hashd al-Shabi paramilitary force, members of the Sunni Sons of Salahuddin brigades, and other Sunni tribal fighters. The offensive involves around 30,000 fighters in all. Although the campaign is Iraqi-led, help from outside is also going to play an important role. Though the United States has not conducted any airstrikes in this campaign yet, this may well change as the battle develops. Iran, in stark contrast to the U.S., provided Iraq with immediate and much-needed military assistance when the security crisis escalated last June. The Iranians are heavily invested in this current campaign and are also not going to let the Iraqis lose. Unlike in Syria, the Americans and Iranians both share a common enemy and a common friend in Iraq, but due to wider political considerations neither Washington nor Tehran will admit that there is any form of tacit cooperation in Iraq. However, the campaign for Tikrit is just another front where such cooperation is likely to be already happening behind the scenes. Baghdad will make use of U.S. intelligence that will almost certainly be shared with the Iranian officers who are advising the Iraqi army. General Qasim Suleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds Force, who has played a key role in the fight against ISIS, was reported to be near Tikrit just hours after the military campaign was officially launched. Iran provides military advice, support and weapons not just through the central government in Baghdad but also directly to a number of increasingly powerful Shia militia groups that now operate under the state-sponsored paramilitary committee, the Hashd Al-Shabi, known as the \"Popular Mobilization Units.\" The two key Iraqi leaders of this paramilitary command, Hadi al-Ameri and Abu Mehdi al-Mohandis, were also pictured together with General Fadhil Barwari, the commander of Iraq's elite Special Operation Forces.

+{"article": "(CNN)Thick fog forced authorities to suspend the air search Wednesday for seven Marines and four Army aircrew, feared dead after their Black Hawk helicopter crashed into waters off the Florida Panhandle. The helicopter was first reported missing at about 8:30 p.m. (9:30 p.m. ET) Tuesday. Hours later, searchers found debris around Okaloosa Island near Eglin Air Force Base, base spokesman Andy Bourland said. This debris washed up on both the north and south sides of Santa Rosa Sound, which connects mainland northern Florida and a barrier island. The air search is expected to resume midday Thursday, the spokesman said. A spokeswoman for the Coast Guard said that boats will continue scouring the waters throughout the night Wednesday, weather permitting. Human remains have washed ashore in the area near Eglin. Base spokeswoman Jasmine Porterfield didn't specify what was found, noting the search-and-rescue mission remained underway. Still, there was little hope for a miracle, with Gen. Martin Dempsey -- chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- expressing his condolences. He said the crash was \"a reminder to us that those who serve put themselves at risk, both in training and in combat.\" \"We will work with the services to ensure that ... their family members will be well cared for.\" The Air Force, Coast Guard and civilian agencies participated in the intensive search focused on where they believe the aircraft went down, in waters east of the town of Navarre and the Navarre Bridge and near Eglin testing range site A-17. Porterfield said approximately 100 people were involved in canvassing the ground and the waters, looking for debris: \"It's a huge effort underway.\" \"We're working closely with all the parties involved to locate our Marines and the Army crew that were onboard,\" added Capt. Barry Morris, a spokesman for the U.S. Marines Corps Special Operations Command. \"And, really, just our thoughts (and) prayers are with the Marines, the soldiers and the families of those involved in the mishap.\" No one is saying what caused the accident, with Eglin spokeswoman Sara Vidoni indicating only that there's no indication of anything suspicious. There was heavy fog in the area when the aircraft went missing, though the Eglin spokeswoman said it's too early to tell whether that had anything to do with the crash. \"There is training in all conditions -- that's part of the military mission,\" Vidoni said. \"They were out there doing what the military does.\" According to Morris, the service members -- all men -- were involved in a seven-day training exercise of amphibious operations. It involved small boats and inserting and extracting Marines from the water via helicopter. Morris would not say in which phase of the training the Marines were on Tuesday night.

But Martin Dolan, Chief Commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, says that as search teams scour the depths of the Indian Ocean for any sign of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, he is confident they will find the plane, if the aircraft is in the areas where they are looking. \"If anything, I'm slightly more optimistic than six months ago, because we have more confidence in the data, and we have proven the search equipment and techniques work to the necessary standards,\" Dolan said. But as the first anniversary of MH370's disappearance approaches, with no trace of the missing plane found, not everyone shares his outlook. That includes many of the relatives of the 239 passengers and crew on board, who say not a single day goes by without wondering what happened to their loved ones. And for many, the decision in late January by Malaysia to officially declare MH370 an accident, enabling the insurance payout process to begin in accordance with international protocol, was painfully premature. \"How can they say that, when there is no proof that the plane has crashed?\" asked Wen Wang Cheng, whose son Wen Yung Sheng was one of 153 Chinese nationals on board. \"We have to get the facts,\" Wen said. What families have been told, they say, simply isn't good enough. Anger, frustration, and distrust pushed some relatives, including Wen, to fly from China to Kuala Lumpur last month, to demand more. But when families submitted a letter to Malaysia Airlines asking for authorities to explain the declaration and status of the investigation, a written response from the company's CEO revealed little that hadn't already been said. At 12:41 a.m. local time on March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, en route to Beijing. Less than an hour later, the Boeing 777-200ER was flying over the South China Sea. Air traffic controllers in Malaysia radioed the crew to contact controllers in Ho Chi Minh City for its onward journey through Vietnamese airspace. The crew acknowledged the request, thanking Kuala Lumpur controllers with a routine reply: \"Good night, Malaysian Three-Seven-Zero.\" Minutes later, the plane disappeared from radar. Malaysian authorities revealed days later that military radar had tracked the plane as it turned back to the west, flew across the Malay Peninsula, and up the Strait of Malacca, before flying out of radar range and vanishing once again. The search area widened, then shifted off the coast of Western Australia, when it was determined through careful analysis of a series of messages or \"handshakes\" between the plane and an Inmarsat telecommunications satellite, that MH370 eventually turned south, and flew for hours into the Indian Ocean. Roughly a week's sail from the coast of Western Australia, ships with specialists and equipment capable of searching depths that regularly exceed 4,000 meters (13,123 feet), work around the clock, methodically ticking off sections of sea floor.

+{"article": "(CNN)Earlier this month, Shahindokht Molaverdi, Iran's Vice President for Women and Family Affairs, led an official delegation to the United Nations in New York to attend the 59th session of the Commission on the Status of Women. In her March 11 speech to the commission, Molaverdi said that \"the Islamic Republic of Iran has always had the empowerment of women and improving their status...on its agenda.\" Molaverdi described the significant progress Iranian women have made in education and science, citing unilateral economic sanctions and violence against women as factors that have impeded the full realization of women's rights. There was little in her speech to suggest that domestic factors -- including Iran's laws and policies -- play a significant role in depriving Iranian women of real gender equality and empowerment. Unfortunately, Molaverdi's comments stood in sharp contrast to reality. On the day she delivered her speech, Amnesty International released a report raising concerns about the possible passage of two bills before Iran's parliament that would further restrict women's rights. One would prohibit voluntary sterilization as part of the country's efforts to boost population growth and strengthen the place of what are deemed \"traditional\" families in society. The other would \"further entrench gender-based discrimination, particularly against women who choose not to or are unable to marry or have children,\" Amnesty said. A day later, the U.N. special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, Ahmed Shaheed, released his fourth report to the U.N. Human Rights Council describing the dire state of human rights in the country. His report cited the concerns about gender discrimination that Human Rights Watch and others had raised during Iran's 2014 Universal Periodic Review, a review of every U.N. state's human rights record every four years by the Human Rights Council. The sobering reality, all too familiar to Molaverdi, is that Iranian women face discrimination in many aspects of their lives, ranging from issues related to marriage, divorce, inheritance and child custody, to restrictions on dress and even access to sports stadiums as spectators. The proposed passage of more restrictive legislation in the name of protecting the family is just the latest step in the rollback on women's rights in recent years. To many, the discrepancy between what Molaverdi said in her speech, and what women face in Iran, smacked of diplomatic subterfuge. Activists and journalists rightly responded by highlighting the many violations of women's rights in Iran, and called out Molaverdi for failing to present an accurate and complete picture of the challenges that Iranian women face. Yet there was little acknowledgment by critics of the behind-the-scenes struggle that Molaverdi, who is often an outspoken critic of regressive measures restricting women's rights at home, and many others are waging every day as they try to carve out much-needed space for Iran's beleaguered rights activists.

I had pitched for interviews with the couple several times over the years and finally Prince Charles accepted. I wanted to speak to them about their 10 years of marriage and their upcoming U.S. tour. The couple's first tour as newlyweds was also to the United States, so it felt like an appropriate moment to take stock. When you reach the house, it strikes you as an idyllic royal hideaway. It has the sense of a castle but is welcoming like a farmhouse. It has a pinkish hue and green window frames that take in the stunning views.

For many in Israel, the election turned on domestic economic issues and on personality. Pollsters had believed that the combination of rising prices, slowing growth and a controversial leader at the helm of the incumbent Likud would finally doom the man who was looking to notch a historic fourth term as premier on his belt. Not so much. While it will likely take some time for Netanyahu to form a new government, the reverberations of his victory will be felt fast in Washington. U.S. President Barack Obama has made no secret of his antipathy toward Netanyahu, and many believe that Obama has allowed disagreements over policy to spill over into personal animosity. And while the White House allowed it would work with whoever won the Israeli elections, it seems clear whom the President would have voted for had he been allowed to cast a ballot. So what will Obama do on the issues that have increasingly divided Israel and the United States? Some believe the President will be all the more constrained in his negotiations with Iran, especially now that Israel has doubled down on the man who took to a joint meeting of Congress to publicly excoriate Obama's hoped-for deal with the Islamic Republic over its nuclear weapons program. But the stronger likelihood is that the Likud victory will spur the administration to even more concessions to ensure a deal between Tehran and Washington. This is, after all, an administration that has written off the concerns of all of Iran's neighbors (and America's allies in the region) over a weak agreement that would likely do little more than pave the way toward a nuclear weapons capability for the ayatollahs. The reality is that where Obama might have been inclined to listen to the Israeli left (which differed little with the Likud over Iran), he will find it easy to dismiss the clamoring of the Israeli right, never mind that it represents the will of the people of Israel. Then there are the negotiations with the Palestinians. Obama has never appeared personally interested in the peace process, though his administration has made repeated attempts to bring both sides to the table. But now Washington will be in an even tougher place. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has all but abandoned the notion of bilateral negotiations toward Palestinian statehood, and has brought his case instead to the international community. He has promised he will continue to pursue recognition country by country, and through the United Nations, while at the same time seeking to prosecute Israel for \"war crimes\" through the International Criminal Court.

The 53-year-old suspect was wanted by the Pine County, Minnesota, Sheriff's Office for allegedly sexually abusing two young girls who were members of his church, the U.S Marshals Service said. Barnard -- who was featured on CNN's \"The Hunt With John Walsh\" in 2014 and again earlier this week -- was last seen in the United States in Raymond, Washington, in 2014. In April of that year, prosecutors in Pine County, Minnesota, issued a criminal complaint that accused him of 59 felony counts of criminal sexual conduct. The manhunt began after a two-year investigation into allegations from two women about Barnard's alleged conduct while he was preaching to a religious group in Finlayson, Minnesota. Barnard was featured on the United States Marshal's 15 Most Wanted List along with a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. He was also wanted for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. A 33-year-old woman was also arrested, Brazilian authorities said. As a pastor, Victor Barnard inspired his congregants with his charisma and apparent devotion to the teachings of Jesus Christ. \"I had never met anybody that I thought loved the word of God as much as Victor Barnard did,\" Ruth Johnson, a former member of Barnard's River Road Fellowship, told \"The Hunt.\" David Larsen, a former leader of the River Road Fellowship, said he helped Barnard set up a so-called \"shepherd's camp\" in the mid-1990s in Pine County to help bring more people into the church. Several of his congregants, including Johnson, moved to the rural area about 100 miles north of Minneapolis to be a part of the camp. In June of 2000, the charismatic religious leader allegedly convinced some members of his congregation to hand over their firstborn daughters to live with him in the secluded campsite. Lindsay Tornambe's name was called and her parents allowed their 13-year-old daughter to join the group of girls at the camp, called \"The Maidens,\" under Barnard's supervision. She and other congregants said the girls got up early, sewed, cooked and cleaned for Barnard. \"Everything that a wife would do, they did for him,\" Johnson said. Barnard proclaimed he was Christ on Earth. \"He taught that in the Bible, the church was the bride of Christ and because he was Christ in the flesh, the church was supposed to be married to him,\" Tornambe said. \"At that time I didn't really understand the fullness of what it meant.\" The complaint filed in Minnesota says Tornambe alleges that she was sexually abused by Barnard from the ages of 13 to 22 while she and her parents were members of River Road Fellowship.

+{"article": "(CNN)Slain Russian opposition figure Boris Nemtsov knew criticizing the Kremlin was dangerous, but thought his fame would protect him. The 55-year-old was walking home from dinner with his girlfriend Anna Duritskaya when he was gunned down in Moscow on Friday. Nemtsov had been arrested several times for speaking against Putin's government. The most recent arrests were in 2011 when he protested the results of parliamentary elections and in 2012 when tens of thousands protested against Putin. In an interview with CNN's Anthony Bourdain last year, Nemtsov spoke of the deaths of other Kremlin critics, but said his fame offered some protection. \"I'm a well-known guy, and this is a safety because if something happens with me, it will be scandal not only in Moscow city but throughout the world,\" he said then. After Nemtsov was shot, Putin condemned the killing and ordered three law enforcement agencies to investigate the shooting, the Kremlin said in a statement. But critics of Putin have in the past suffered miserable fates. Last year, a Moscow court sentenced five men to prison for the 2006 killing of Russian journalist and fierce Kremlin critic Anna Politkovskaya. Business magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky accused Putin of corruption and spent 10 years in prison and labor camps. Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko accused state security services of organizing a coup to put Putin in power. He was poisoned by a lethal dose of radioactive polonium and died in London in 2006. No killer has been caught. In their 2014 interview, Nemtsov told Bourdain he believed Russia's existing power structure was like 19th century Russia, with one person in control and no real freedom of press, real competition or elections or an independent judiciary or rule of law. \"You are in the typical country of crony capitalism,\" he said. \"If you have a good relationship with Putin and his people around, you will have a good relationship with governor or mayor -- it doesn't matter. If you are in the city you have a chance to raise money, to be successful ... you know, to buy real estate in the south of France or Switzerland, to open accounts in Swiss banks. \"But, if something happened between you and Putin and you are governor, you will be in jail.\" Nemstov said in most places around the world, wealth provided opportunity and independence, but said that it was different in Russia. \"To be wealthy, you must be loyal. If you want to be independent, forget about business, forget about raising money,\" he said. \"If you are rich, you are a slave. If you are rich, you are very much dependent.\" Many people preferred to be able make money and not speak out, he said. \"This is a country of corruption,\" Nemtsov said. \"For Putin's Russia, this is a system. This is not a problem.\" \"If you are corrupted, but you are loyal, and you serve the Kremlin, you are first of all rich and secondly you are in a very safe position.\"", "summary": "Kremlin critic and opposition figure Boris Nemtsov was fatally shot in Moscow on Friday .

+{"article": "(CNN)Seeing a rainbow often fills people with a sense of joy, regardless of whether it is their first or 19th time witnessing the colorful creation. Rainbow Gatherings -- annual events that take place throughout the world -- encompass a vibrant mixture of the environment and people to produce a similar feeling of excitement. Photographer Matjaz Krivic's \"Somewhere Under the Rainbow\" series was shot over 19 years at Rainbow Gatherings in various countries. According to Krivic, the meaning behind the name of the events originates from an ancient Hopi Native American prophecy about \"Rainbow Warriors.\" Rainbow Gatherings involve a temporary community of people who meet to share their similar ideals -- peace, harmony, freedom and respect. Those participating in the gatherings collectively refer to themselves as a \"Rainbow Family.\" The community, which welcomes a wide spectrum of ages, comes together to embrace nature and establish an alternative space away from society's popular culture of consumerism, materialism and mass media. Those who attend are not required to pay any form of money, not even for food, and the gatherings do not have rigid structures of dominance nor one specific leader. Instead, Rainbow Gatherings are essentially idealistic movements driven by the convergence of its community's beliefs in a more equitable society and its people's love and tolerance for one another. \"The magic hat goes around and you put money if you have or if you want,\" Krivic said. \"(But) nobody needs to pay for the food. Everybody is welcome to go and eat there.\" Krivic says that Rainbow Gatherings also tend to take place in regions of the world that \"need to be healed\" after having experienced devastating conflicts. Past gatherings include those held in Serbia, Bosnia and Ukraine. \"I really don't like what's going on in this world. ... There's just so much stuff happening,\" Krivic said. \"You can always go to (Rainbow Gatherings) and stay there and have a nice time, and you don't even have to pay for it. It will be a nice time, nice energy, not aggressive.\" One of the most enjoyable aspects about Rainbow Gatherings is the many workshops and activities that are available, where people engage in and learn about everything from yoga and tai chi to meditation and healing techniques. Another significant part of Rainbow Gatherings is the all-encompassing sound. \"I like the music, I'm an audiophile. I like all sorts of music, but when I go there it's live, it's there,\" Krivic said. \"It's like two guys playing and eventually it's like 50 people playing and the music is just so beautiful.\" The first Rainbow Gathering took place in Colorado in 1972, and it is believed to have been organized by youth counterculture \"tribes\" from Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Since then, the gatherings have extended to other areas in the United States as well as a number of different countries. The international gatherings generally take place during the summer, before August's full moon. According to Krivic, the exact locations of some of the Rainbow Gatherings are revealed through hand-drawn maps and presented to those", "summary": "Photographer Matjaz Krivic's \"Somewhere Under the Rainbow\" series was shot over 19 years .

The most recent example: A school in New York sought to celebrate \"National Foreign Language Week\" by having the pledge of allegiance read in a different language every day. You get one guess as to what happened when it was Arabic day. Complaints came in from both Jewish parents and people who had lost family in Afghanistan, according to the school superintendent. What language do they speak in Afghanistan? Not Arabic. The main languages are Dari and Pashto. Perhaps this complaint illustrates why we need more education, not less. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident. Earlier this year in Florida, parents were up in arms because a school taught about Islam in a history class. And, there are perennial stories about \"Americans\" offended by a Spanish recitation of the pledge. Because of the outcry, Pine Bush students will now not hear the pledge in Italian, Spanish, Japanese, or French, as planned. That they were deprived of such a pedagogical exercise is bad enough. What is worse is that the school district felt that it had to apologize. The district's statement was a surrender to ignorance. \"The intention was to promote the fact that those who speak a language other than English still pledge to salute this great country. We sincerely apologize to any students, staff or community members who found this activity disrespectful.\" Instead of the Pine Bush students learning about other languages and cultures, they learned that the \"heckler's veto\" and phony tales of \"offense\" trump open mindedness and the quest for knowledge. At least they do in modern-day American education. Perhaps this is a lesson best learned now, because once they get to college, it will be even worse. Our universities were once places where ideas were safe to flourish, and we went to question what we knew. Today, they are places where disfavored ideas are all but banned. According to students, Dixie State (Utah) bans posters that \"mock\" anyone, including former president Bush. Last year, Smith College's president apologized and there was a student outcry because students had \"hurt feelings\" when alumna Wendy Kaminer argued at a panel discussion moderated by the college president against using the euphemism \"the n-word\" in historical discussions. She believed that using the actual word, in context, was proper (and it is). Yes, censorship of ideas and speech is no longer a top-down or parent-driven phenomenon. Now students themselves insist on being insulated from anything that might make them question their beliefs. Instead of debating an anti-abortion protester, Oregon University students preferred to call the campus police -- who briefly took their side. George Will was slated to speak at Scripps College in a program specifically designed to challenge students' prevailing views. But, since he challenged the feminist view of sexual assault on campus, Scripps pulled his invitation. When I went to college, I enjoyed challenging my beliefs. I still do. I hope that my children constantly do the same. That is how we grow.

+{"article": "(CNN)ISIS' recent video showing a child shooting a man whom the extremist group claimed was an Israeli spy is the latest example of how the militants exploit children in their propaganda. As ISIS encourages foreign fighters to bring their families into the parts of Syria and Iraq where it imposes its brutal rule, the catalog of children taking part in shocking acts is grim and growing. The deeply disturbing cases shine a light into the range of ways the militants are using children to further their aims. In August, an Australian man who had taken his young family to join ISIS in Syria posted a photo on Twitter of his 7-year-old son using both hands to hold up a man's severed head. \"That's my boy,\" the father wrote alongside the photo, which was reportedly taken in ISIS' Syrian stronghold of Raqqa. In a video the jihadist group released in January, a boy with long hair wearing a black sweater and military fatigue pants appears to shoot two men in the back of the head. The boy then stands over one of the bodies, fires two more times, and later raises his pistol in the air. Last month, when ISIS publicized its immolation of the captive Jordanian fighter pilot Lt. Moath al-Kasasbeh, one of its videos showed a young boy watching a public screening of the killing in Raqqa and saying that he would \"burn the pilot\" himself if he had the chance. Those examples reflect a broader effort to induct children into ISIS' campaign of violence. ISIS has also promoted videos of young boys training as fighters, some of them wearing the militants' black masks, holding bullets and waving the group's flags. The jihadist movement has called the boys the \"cubs of the caliphate,\" a reference to the way ISIS fighters refer to one another as \"lions.\" It has taken over schools with the purpose of indoctrinating children. Human Rights Watch has said that ISIS and other extremist groups \"have specifically recruited children through free schooling campaigns that include weapons training and have given them dangerous tasks, including suicide bombing missions.\" The United Nations has said there are confirmed reports of children as young as 12 undergoing military training. One 15-year-old boy told CNN in November how he was regularly strapped into an explosive vest and handed a pistol, an AK-47 and a radio to stand guard at an ISIS base in Syria. Another boy told CNN last year that ISIS forced his father to send him to one of its children's camps in northern Syria when he was just 13. \"For 30 days we woke up and jogged, had breakfast, then learned the Quran and the Hadith of the Prophet. Then we took courses on weapons, Kalashnikovs and other light military stuff,\" said the boy, who later fled to Turkey with his family. Some of the militants at the camp were kind, joking and laughing with the younger recruits, he recalled.

Clarkson, who hosted one of the most-watched television shows in the world, was dropped by the BBC Wednesday after an internal investigation by the British broadcaster found he had subjected producer Oisin Tymon \"to an unprovoked physical and verbal attack.\" Tymon went to a hospital emergency department to receive treatment for a split lip following the March 4 incident at a hotel in North Yorkshire, it said. North Yorkshire police said they had asked the BBC for a copy of the report and would assess whether further police action needed to be taken. \"No one who was present at the hotel during the incident came forward to report an offense to the police. Nonetheless, we have a duty to investigate where we believe an offense might have been committed, and that is what we have been doing with this case,\" police said in a statement Thursday. \"As is usual in these circumstances, we have made contact with Mr Tymon through his lawyers, to ask him to speak to us so we can ascertain how he wishes to pursue this matter.\" Tymon issued a statement through his lawyer Friday saying he had informed police he did not want to press charges. \"The events of the last few weeks have been extremely unpleasant for everyone involved. The matter has taken a great toll on Oisin, his family and his friends,\" lawyer Paul Daniels said. \"Quite simply, Mr Tymon just wishes to return now to the job at the BBC he loves, as soon as possible. Further, the BBC have, in his view, taken action with a view to addressing the issues at hand. \"Mr Tymon agrees with the BBC's stated view that all parties should now be allowed to move on, so far as possible.\" Tymon had earlier said he was grateful to the BBC for their \"thorough and swift investigation into this very regrettable incident.\" \"I've worked on Top Gear for almost a decade, a program I love.

Clarkson was suspended on March 10 after what the BBC initially described as the \"fracas\" with Tymon. Ken MacQuarrie, who conducted the internal investigation into the incident, said Tymon had been struck \"resulting in swelling and bleeding to his lip.\" The physical attack was halted after about 30 seconds by the intervention of a witness, MacQuarrie said, but Clarkson continued to use \"derogatory and abusive language\" for a sustained period of time.

The 17-year-olds face aggravated animal cruelty and armed trespassing charges after tying the hound, now named Cabela, to railroad tracks and shooting her multiple times. Surveillance video from the area showed a group of individuals walking the dog along the tracks in the city's Sulphur Springs neighborhood before later running away, said Detective Patrick Messmer. Neighbors heard gunshots and police were called. Cabela was purchased to be used in dog fighting, but she wasn't any good at it so they wanted to get rid of her, according to Messmer. \"This appears to be an isolated incident,\" he said. \"It doesn't appear that there was a large amount of dog fighting that goes on in the neighborhood.\" On March 5, police found Cabela tightly tied to the tracks and shot three times -- twice in the neck and once in the shoulder. \"Nothing gets you ready ... to see a dog -- a helpless animal -- tied so tight to a railroad track around the neck that it's literally pinned down,\" said Sgt. Rich Mills, who freed her. \"She was literally pinned down. She could not get away even if she tried.\" Once freed, Mills rushed Cabela to Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Center. Initially, it was thought the young dog would have to her right front leg amputated because the damage was so severe, but a metal rod was inserted and she's recovering.

+{"article": "Sanaa, Yemen (CNN)The U.S. military is in the process of evacuating about 100 Special Operations forces members from the Al Anad airbase in Yemen due to that country's deteriorating security situation, sources in the region familiar with the situation told CNN. Those being evacuated are the last American troops stationed in the Arab nation, which is home to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the terrorist group also known as AQAP. The United States closed its embassy in Sanaa last month, after Houthi rebels took over the Yemeni capital. And hundreds of al Qaeda members escaped two Yemeni prisons Thursday and Friday, raising further security questions. For years, the U.S. military has worked closely with Yemen's government to go after AQAP, together carrying out numerous attacks like the 2011 drone strike that killed prominent al Qaeda figure Anwar al-Awlaki. And U.S. President Barack Obama has hailed this cooperation as a pillar in his anti-terrorism campaign. \"Yemen has never been a perfect democracy or a island of stability,\" Obama said in January, promoting the policy of \"partnering and intelligence-sharing with that local government\" as the best approach in a bad situation. \"The alternative would be for us to play whack-a-mole every time there is a terrorist actor inside of any given country,\" the President said. But while there have been drone strikes as recently as last month, these cooperative efforts have been hampered by Yemen's growing difficulty in maintaining unity and peace. These include the rise of the Houthis, their battles with forces loyal to ousted President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi and the presence of not only al Qaeda fighters but other militants. On Friday, for instance, ISIS purportedly claimed responsibility for bombings at two mosques in Sanaa what, if true, would mark that group's first large-scale attack in Yemen. The claim came in a statement posted on a site that previously carried ISIS proclamations, but couldn't be immediately authenticated by CNN. Those blasts killed at least 137 people and wounded 357 others, according to Yemen's state-run Saba news agency. While ISIS and al Qaeda are both Sunni groups that espouse extreme versions of Islam and violent opposition to the West, that doesn't mean they will be working together anytime soon. In fact, AQAP strongly rebuked ISIS in a video released in November, characterizing its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's declaration of an Islamic caliphate as illegitimate. More than anything, the idea of the group calling itself the Islamic State violently flexing its muscles speaks to the chaotic situation there. With no one really in control, that means numerous groups -- including those with a history of killing civilians and lashing out at the West -- have been more room to operate and a better chance potentially to take over. Meanwhile, the main players for control of Yemen's government -- those siding with Hadi, who still claims to be president after being deposed earlier this year, and the Houthis, a minority group that's strongest in the northern part of the country -- remain very much at odds.

She shifted to black-and-white images and reduced her point of view, getting as close as she could to the action. \"It was not easy to work like that, because the matches were going very quickly and were unpredictable,\" she said, although fighters were respectful and would stop if someone was seriously hurt. \"I had to be very careful not to get hit. Fortunately, there are chairs on the side, so I could jump on them if the female fighters suddenly rolled under my feet.\" For all the aggression built into fighting, Mazur said, the project required a lot of sensitivity.

Authorities quickly identified the Boston bombing suspects, but almost immediately after Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed during the manhunt for the perpetrators and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured, investigators privately questioned if more people were involved. If there were others, perhaps a bomb maker is on the loose. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told police he and his brother built the bombs, but court documents show some people involved in the case had their doubts. The bombs were described as powerful pressure-cooker explosives controlled remotely. There were fuses from Christmas lights and detonators constructed from model car parts. The twin bombings in April 2013 killed three people and wounded more than 250 others. \"These relatively sophisticated devices would have been difficult for the Tsarnaevs to fabricate successfully without training or assistance from others,\" prosecutors wrote in a filing opposing a move by Tsarnaev's lawyer to throw out statements he made in the hospital. Two years after the attack Michael Marks, a former special agent for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, agrees on the technical aspects of the bombs. \"These were two relatively sophisticated devices that went off almost simultaneously. They had a very, very short delay,\" he said. \"It would be my opinion that they had somebody who was more of a skilled bomb maker, an engineer if you will, assist them in saying these are the steps you need to go through and then assemble the device to make it safely and to make it function the way they want.\" They were the kind of bombs that need testing to make sure they work the way you expect. \"There has been no evidence that the two brothers actually tested and tried out making a bomb and detonating it,\" CNN National Security Analyst Juliette Kayyem said. \"Now it could be luck that they put this thing together, put it at the Boston Marathon finish line, and were able to detonate them so close to each other and sequentially. But it was a pretty sophisticated attack.\" Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told FBI agents he and his brother built the bombs following instructions from al Qaeda's Inspire magazine. No one has been publicly named as a possible co-conspirator. Investigators have focused on Tamerlan Tsarnaev's suspected ties to militants. In 2012 the older Tsarnaev spent six months in Russia. Authorities have questioned how much exposure he may have had to radicals and whether he could have received training there. There are other clues that the brothers would have needed help with the bombs. There wasn't trace evidence -- black powder from fireworks -- found in either home, their cars or anywhere associated with them, the court documents said. Also, investigators apparently were troubled that they recovered one remote-controlled detonator at the scene of the bombings when there should have been two. That suggested the other was being kept to use with other bombs. Marks said investigators didn't find circuit testers. \"You want a separate circuit tester in order to test the functionality of the components without it being hooked up to the actual device,", "summary": "Investigators have always wondered if more people were involved in the bombings than just the brothers .

+{"article": "(CNN)In November 2002, the world was captivated by the biggest archaeological discovery ever made relating to Jesus: a 2,000 year-old ossuary -- or bone box -- bearing the tantalizing inscription in Aramaic: \"James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.\" If it was true, this was the first physical evidence ever found of Jesus' existence. And yet, if this amazing ossuary was false, then it was one of the greatest forgeries in history. Underlying the question of the authenticity of the ossuary is an even bigger theological problem: whether or not Jesus actually had any brothers. Though the debate's origins are ancient, the answer still divides Catholics and Protestants. For Catholics, Mary, Joseph and Jesus are a family unit unto themselves. Yet Catholic theology also holds that Jesus was God's son, born of the virgin -- and that Mary did not give birth to other children, divine or otherwise. 'Finding Jesus': John the Baptist Q&A . So who are these \"brothers\" that the Gospel of Mark mentions? The Rev. James Martin, author of the book \"Jesus: A Pilgrimage,\" calls the relationship between James and Jesus \"very complicated.\" \"He's called clearly the brother of the Lord, and the Greek uses the common word for brother,\" Martin says. But Catholics also believe in Mary's perpetual virginity, so Martin surmises that James and the other brothers were Joseph's children from a prior marriage.\"It makes sense that Joseph would have been older and Mary was younger, so I see them in a sense as stepbrothers.\" Other Catholic scholars see James and Jesus as cousins, an idea that began in the fourth century, when St. Jerome, who translated the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament into Latin, argued the point against the theologian Helvedius, who said Mary and Joseph had other children. 'Finding Jesus': Shroud of Turin Q&A . Jerome countered that these children were instead born to Mary of Clopas, Jesus' aunt. Jerome used his linguistic facility to argue that \"adelphios,\" the Greek word used for Jesus' brothers and sisters, could refer to cousins, as well as to siblings. Protestants, however, see Jesus' family as free of ambiguity, with Mary and Joseph having several children. One of them is Jesus -- but the question then becomes, which one? Ben Witherington III, professor of New Testament Interpretation at Asbury Theological Seminary, offers the Protestant view that Jesus and James were full brothers, with Jesus being the elder. \"The New Testament says nothing about Mary being a perpetual virgin, it says she virginally conceived Jesus, and it certainly implies that she went on to have more children after that, and his brothers and sisters are in fact his brothers and sisters,\" Witherington says. Is Judas in hell? Jesus is presented as the older brother who leaves the family and walks about in Galilee and Judea, has a ministry and leaves James and the other brothers and sisters in charge of the family, according to the scholar. What's more contentious for some Protestants, is the fact that Jesus, as the eldest in the family, essentially forsook his obligation as next-in-line", "summary": "The Rev.

That's according to Joanna Shuter, his former head teacher at Quintin Kynaston Community Academy in northwest London. Now 26, Emwazi has gained international notoriety after being identified as the ISIS militant nicknamed \"Jihadi John\" who's appeared in beheading videos of Western hostages. But in his school days, it was a different matter. When he joined Quintin Kynaston at 14 or 15, he was little trouble himself but was the focus of some bullying. \"He was bullied a little, but because he was quiet and he was reserved ... generally he was fine,\" Shuter said. \"There were no massive behavior problems with him, and by the time he got into ... (his last years) he had settled, he was working hard, he achieved great grades for him, and he went to the university of his choice.\" He just didn't stand out as troubled, she said. \"If there had been any concerns about Mohammed, they would have been picked up, and we would have intervened and tried to support him in any way that we could have done.\" Born in Kuwait, but brought up in London from the age of 6, Emwazi was one of the school's many students from an immigrant background. The school's intake is 70% Muslim, said Shuter, with many students coming from large housing estates in what is a multicultural area of London. But its ethos was one of tolerance and integration, with all students encouraged to feel part of the school community. Staff made great efforts to get to know the 1,400 students in the school so that nobody would feel excluded or left behind, Shuter said. They also reached out to the sometimes insular, conservative Muslim communities that many of their students came from, she said, to try to help students who could feel torn between different cultures. Nonetheless, Emwazi was somehow drawn in by radical influences, most likely outside of school or through social media. And he was not alone. At least two other students who attended Quintin Kynaston also allegedly later turned to Islamist extremism. One, Mohammed Sakr, only overlapped at the school by a few months with Shuter. He was reportedly killed in a U.S. drone strike in Somalia in 2012. \"He was very outgoing, jolly, sporty kind of person and fun,\" Shuter said. Shuter sees social media as the greatest danger facing young people and their families today. \"I think social media is terrifying because it does have the power to influence young people in a way that as adults we have no power to control,\" she said. She still finds it hard to believe that Emwazi could be the apparent killer with the London accent recorded on ISIS videos. \"My blood just ran cold,\" she said of when she first heard the news. \"When I hear the name, I just find it incredible to marry what I've clearly seen on the TV with the person that I", "summary": "Mohammed Emwazi's ex-head teacher says he was a quiet boy, slightly bullied at school .

Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, members of the so-called \"Bali Nine\" sentenced on drug smuggling charges, were transferred Wednesday from prison to a maximum security facility where they will be isolated before being put to death. Australia has repeatedly appealed for clemency for the pair. They have been jailed since April 2005 for a failed bid to smuggle more than 8 kilograms of heroin from Bali to Australia. OPINION: Why executions won't win Indonesia's drug war . Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Wednesday said \"Australians are feeling sick in their guts at the prospect of execution for these two.\" \"We abhor drug crime, but we abhor the death penalty. We think that these two Australians deserve to be punished, but they certainly don't deserve to be executed,\" he said. The Prime Minister said people should not let anger affect Australians' relationship with Indonesia. The two men will be given 72 hours notice of their impending appointment with a 12-member firing squad once they arrive on the island of Nusakambangan. But precisely when is unclear. They are among a number of people from different countries who are also scheduled for execution. The Bali Nine were arrested after Indonesian police received a tip from Australian Federal Police. Chan, 31, was called the ringleader of the plot, and Sukumaran was described as Chan's collaborator in the scheme. Seven other people who participated in the plan are serving lengthy prison sentences. Police caught four people at the Denpasar airport with more than 8 kilograms of heroin strapped to their bodies. Another four -- including Sukumaran -- were arrested at a hotel in the village of Kuta. Chan was detained after a boarding a plane to Sydney -- he wasn't carrying any drugs but was named by others as the mastermind of the plot. The Indonesian administrative court last week dismissed a case filed by lawyers of the two Australians against President Joko Widodo. The attorneys wanted a review of the president's decision to deny them clemency. Todung Mulya Lubis, who represents the pair, said a challenge had been submitted to the administrative court and lawyers were still waiting for a court summons. \"There should be no execution as long as there is a legal process going on,\" Lubis said. Sukumaran and Chan have become model prisoners during their time behind bars, according to fellow inmates and the jail's chief warden. Sukumaran is studying fine arts and has set up a class for fellow inmates. Chan has found spirituality, which he uses to counsel inmates with drug problems. Their rehabilitation is genuine, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has said. \"Andrew and Myuran are the model of what penal systems the world over long to achieve,\" Bishop told the Australian Parliament in February.

+{"article": "(CNN)Was the Middle East better off under dictatorships? It is certainly tempting to think so when one looks at conflicts in the region today, from Yemen to Libya to Syria. Those three countries have followed different trajectories since the start of the Arab Spring in 2011, but what they have in common now is instability that is not likely to be overcome in the short term. While this instability is making the West -- particularly the United States -- uncomfortable, it is also a direct result of the West's own stance towards dictatorships in the region prior to and during the Arab Spring. The West's shortsightedness in handling the Middle East throughout its modern history has directly contributed to its current devastation. Before 2011, what the West most valued in the Middle East was stability rather than democracy. Arab dictatorships were tolerated for decades despite their cruelty because they served Western economic, political, and security interests. In Egypt, Hosni Mubarak was seen as the bulwark of peace with Israel. In Libya, a reformed Moammar Gadhafi was courted for potential investment and trade agreements. In Syria, Bashar al-Assad was a predictable leader who maintained the Golan Heights as a conflict-free zone. In Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh was regarded as an ally against al Qaeda. Dictatorships kept the status quo manageable. Government suppression of activism and of the alternative voices of civil society and independent media meant that top-down decisions were rarely contested. This pretty much guaranteed that Western interests would be served without too many complications. In return, Arab dictators enjoyed Western financial and military aid and political reassurances. Yemen was the epitome of this dynamic. Saleh courted and was courted by American diplomats who turned a blind eye to his transgressions, from arms smuggling to forcing new businesses to include him as a \"partner\" so that he could ensure a cut in the profits, while most Yemenis lived below the bread line. READ MORE: How we got here in Yemen . Saleh's value was in engaging in the \"war on terror\" through allowing American drones to strike al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The fact that he used this engagement as an excuse to ask for military assistance for Yemen -- which in reality was used to equip what would become a private army -- was considered a small price to pay by the United States. When the reality of living under dictatorships became exposed with the Arab Spring, the West could no longer ignore it and had to publicly declare support for the uprisings. But the West did not have a long-term strategy for handling the aftermath of dictatorships -- and the results have been catastrophic. Libya saw hasty international military intervention without a vision for stabilizing the country, and today is falling apart. Syria saw diplomatic toing and froing that eventually dragged the West into a messy war.

On the same day that officials released the names of the seven Marines who were aboard, new details emerged Friday on the fatal mission at the Santa Rosa Sound near Eglin Air Force Base. As officials continue to investigate why the aircraft went down in thick fog Tuesday, Maj. Gen. Joseph L. Osterman -- commander of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) -- told reporters that the Black Hawk was one of two that had to abort exercises involving water \"insertion and extraction techniques\" before the crash. \"My understanding is ... that they were flying as we normally do -- two aircraft together,\" Osterman said. \"As they went in, they encountered bad weather and made the decision to wave off and to abort the training mission. At that point, the one helicopter obviously made it back and determined that the second helicopter was not back with them in that return.\" The crash occurred at night -- hours after the two helicopters had successfully completed the same training exercise in daylight. The Black Hawk helicopters were training near Eglin as heavy fog shrouded the sound -- a narrow body of water between mainland northern Florida and a barrier island -- about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, the military said. \"The fog was moving in and out,\" Osterman said. \"I think they had done the pre-assessment before going in, said that everything appeared to be OK, but then -- even in route -- made the decision (that) the risk was too high.\" The second helicopter lost communication with the missing aircraft and returned to begin the search operation, Osterman said. That operation has transitioned from rescue to recovery, with the military focused on recovering the helicopter, military officials said. Searchers found the helicopter at the bottom of the sound, and the bodies of the seven Marines and four Army National Guard members who were aboard. The bodies of at least two National Guard members were recovered Thursday, and the remains of the other two were believed to be in the underwater wreckage 25 feet below the surface, the Guard said. The crew members were with 1-244th Assault Helicopter Battalion from Hammond, Louisiana, according to a statement from the Louisiana National Guard. Osterman said the remains will be taken to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for identification and forensic examinations before being turned over to the soldiers' families for burial.

The evacuation involved about 100 Special Operations forces members from the Al Anad airbase, sources in the region familiar with the situation told CNN. The State Department called it a temporary relocation. Those evacuated, which include Navy SEALs and members of the Army's Delta Force, were the last American forces stationed in the Arab nation, which is home to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the terrorist group also known as AQAP. \"We ... continue to actively monitor terrorist threats emanating from Yemen and have capabilities postured in the area to address them,\" State Department Spokesman Jeff Rathke said late Saturday. \"As we have in the past, we will take action to disrupt continuing, imminent threats to the United States and our citizens.\" The United States closed its embassy in Sanaa last month, after Houthi rebels took over the Yemeni capital. And hundreds of al Qaeda members escaped two Yemeni prisons Thursday and Friday, raising further security questions. \"There is no military solution to Yemen's current crisis,\" Jeff Rathke said. \"We urge the immediate cessation of all unilateral and offensive military actions.\" The United Nations is taking the situation seriously. The Security Council will meet at 3 p.m. ET Sunday to discuss Yemen, the French mission said Saturday via Twitter. For years, the U.S. military has worked closely with Yemen's government to go after AQAP, together carrying out numerous attacks like the 2011 drone strike that killed prominent al Qaeda figure Anwar al-Awlaki. And U.S. President Barack Obama has hailed this cooperation as a pillar in his anti-terrorism campaign. \"Yemen has never been a perfect democracy or a island of stability,\" Obama said in January, promoting the policy of \"partnering and intelligence-sharing with that local government\" as the best approach in a bad situation. \"The alternative would be for us to play whack-a-mole every time there is a terrorist actor inside of any given country,\" the President said. But while there have been drone strikes as recently as last month, these cooperative efforts have been hampered by Yemen's growing difficulty in maintaining unity and peace. These include the rise of the Houthis, their battles with forces loyal to ousted President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi and the presence of not only al Qaeda fighters but other militants.

+{"article": "(CNN)The sounds recorded on one of the \"black boxes\" recovered from downed Germanwings Flight 9525 firms up investigators' theory that the co-pilot locked the captain out of the cockpit and then crashed the plane. \"For God's sake, open the door!\" Capt. Patrick Sondenheimer screamed as he banged on the cockpit door, pleading with the co-pilot. Thirteen minutes later, the plane slammed into the French Alps. The audio from the plane's cockpit voice recorder has not been released, but the German newspaper Bild published Sunday what it claims is a summary of the transcript from the recording. CNN translated Bild's report -- which the newspaper says is based on the 1.5 hours of audio that was on the cockpit voice recorder -- but cannot independently verify the information. France's accident investigation agency, BEA, told CNN that the agency is \"dismayed\" by the voice recording leak to Bild. Martine Del Bono, a spokeswoman for the agency, said the leak could not have come from a BEA agent. She said the agency considers the report mere \"voyeurism.\" According to Bild's report, Sondenheimer told co-pilot Andreas Lubitz that he didn't manage to go to the bathroom before takeoff. Lubitz tells him he can go anytime. Lubitz is believed to have locked the pilot of Flight 9525 out of the cockpit before putting the plane on a rapid descent into the mountains, French authorities have said. The flight took off 20 minutes late. After reaching cruising altitude, Sondenheimer asked Lubitz to prepare the landing. Once that's finished, Lubitz again tells the captain he \"can go anytime.\" There is the sound of a seat being pushed backward after which the captain says, \"You can take over.\" At 10:29 a.m., air traffic radar detects that the plane is starting to descend. Three minutes later, air traffic controllers try to contact the plane and receive no answer -- shortly after which an alarm goes off in the cockpit, warning of the \"sink rate,\" Bild reported. Next comes the banging. Sondenheimer begs Lubitz to let him in. Passengers then begin to scream, according to the transcript obtained by Bild. Another three minutes pass. A loud metallic bang is heard at 7,000 meters (almost 23,000 feet). A minute and half later and 2,000 meters (about 6,500 feet) lower to the ground, an alarm says \"Terrain -- pull up!\" \"Open the damn door!\" the pilot says. It's 10:38, and the plane is at 4,000 meters (about 13,000 feet). Lubitz's breathing can still be heard on the voice recorder, according to Bild's report. Two minutes later, investigators think they hear the plane's right wing scrape a mountaintop. Screams can be heard one final time. Cockpit recordings are some of the most sensitive and closely held parts of aviation crash investigations. They're never officially released, according to CNN aviation reporter Richard Quest.

+{"article": "(CNN)Could a simple blood test someday tell if you're genetically predisposed to post-traumatic stress disorder? That's what a team of international researchers is hoping after finding a genetic marker linked to PTSD in the blood samples of Marines stationed in conflict zones. \"We'll draw the blood and have a way to do this very rapidly and start to tease apart who is a little more at risk and who is a little more resilient for PTSD,\" says principal investigator Dr. Dewleen Baker of the University of California-San Diego. \"It's exciting.\" PTSD can occur after many types of trauma: rape, torture, child abuse, natural disasters and car, plane, and train wrecks, to name a few. According to the PTSD Alliance, more than 13 million Americans have PTSD and the societal cost is in the billions. Women are about twice as likely as men to develop the disorder. Symptoms tend to cluster into three areas: . \u2022Reliving the event via nightmares or vivid images, along with an extreme reaction such as uncontrollable shaking, chills or heart palpitations. \u2022Avoiding reminders of the event, including becoming emotionally withdrawn and detached from friends, family and everyday activities. \u2022Being hyperaroused, easily startled, irritable, angry, or having difficulty sleeping or concentrating. As one might expect, service members are hardest hit. The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates 30% of all Vietnam vets have experienced PTSD. Among troops recently deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, PTSD can run as high as 20% in any given year. But why does severe emotional trauma trigger PTSD in some people and not others? The idea that your genes play a role in whether you develop PTSD is a popular focus of recent research. Scientists have discovered genes that help regulate fear reactions in mice. The lack of a fear-regulating brain chemical called gastrin-releasing peptide led to greater fear response among the rodents. In another study, mice without a protein necessary to form \"fear memories\" were less likely to freeze up and more willing to explore unknown spaces. Studies of twins show heredity accounts for about 30% of the differences in response to trauma, with identical twins much more likely to both develop PTSD than fraternal twins. Other research has looked into the role of inherited brain differences, mental disorders, or addictive tendencies. An unusual avenue of research is how our immune systems may contribute to the development of PTSD symptoms. Prior studies of people diagnosed with PTSD compared to control groups without the disorder suggest differences in genes related to inflammation may play a role. \"The body is built to keep us alive and it functions as one big system,\" says Baker, discussing the interface between stress and immune chemicals. \"The systems all talk to each other.\" The recent study, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, is unique because it compares blood samples from 188 Marines taken before and after they were deployed to combat zones. Another group of 96 Marines was also studied to verify the results. \"Under this experimental design, not only can we identify differences between U.S. Marines with PTSD and without,", "summary": "More than 13 million Americans have PTSD .

Part of my research methodology was to engage in focus group discussions with women in village settings. In order to do this in any village in Malawi, one has to seek permission from the village chief. And so I did. The chief told me to come back the next day so that he can have time to mobilize the women, as well as give them proper notice of the proposed discussion. When I came back the next day, the \"women\" had indeed gathered waiting for me. However I noticed that the \"women\" were not women, as such. They were... kids. Teenage girls. I said to the chief \"I was hoping to talk to women and not to kids or girls, as I don't think they would understand much about inheritance.\" His response was, \"but these are our women; look, they have babies with them and they are all married.\" I was shocked. Then it dawned on me, \"aah, girl-child marriages.\" After asking, I found the girls' ages ranged from 13 to 18, with two being 24. This then spurred me into action and it was the beginning of a decade-plus journey of understanding girl-child marriages in my country and fighting for the practice to end.

It is ranked eighth of the 20 countries that are considered to have the highest rates of child marriage by the U.N. Population Fund. On average, one out of two girls in Malawi will be married by their 18th birthday, according to the United Nations. In 2010, half of the women (50%) aged 20--24 years were married or in a union before age 18 (compared to 6.4%of boys), while 12% of women married before they were 15 compared to only 1.2% of men. Child marriage is in both rural and urban areas. It is also higher than the regional average for sub-Saharan Africa (37%). 'Law, save the girls!' Being a lawyer, I looked to the law. \"My hero the law, save the girls,\" I thought! Yet, I soon found out that this was a complex story. The Constitution of Malawi, which is the supreme law of the land from whom all legal authority is derived, has provided for some measures of protection for all children. However the same Constitution defines children as those aged 16 and below. The United Nations defines children as those aged 18 and below and so to that extent the Constitution does not comply with international standards on definitions of childhood. The Constitution also allows marriages of persons aged 18 and below and it does not have a cut-off point where marriage is actually prohibited.

+{"article": "Jerusalem (CNN)At times, he got raucous applause during his speech in Washington on Tuesday. But the reactions to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's message that may matter most came in Israel and Iran -- where emotions ran high, both in support and in opposition. In an address before the U.S. Congress punctuated by one-liners, Netanyahu claimed that ongoing talks about Iran's nuclear program \"would all but guarantee that Iran gets nuclear weapons, lots of them.\" He portrayed Iran's leaders as untrustworthy and bloodthirsty, intent on annihilating Israel and threatening its allies. That viewpoint, not surprisingly, didn't play well in Tehran. While the speech wasn't carried live, Iranians quickly pounced with heated condemnations of Netanyahu and characterized him as a liar. TV banners labeled the speech an example of \"Iranaphobia,\" with commentators saying that it humiliated U.S. President Barack Obama and deepened the wedge between Israel and its longtime allies. \"This speech was a sign of the weakness and extreme isolation of radical groups,\" Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said of what she called \"a deceitful theater play.\" \"... The continued lies of Netanyahu regarding the aims and intentions of the peaceful nuclear program of Iran are repetitive and sickening,\" she said. The reaction in Israel was more diverse, albeit predictable, reflecting the divisions there ahead of its March 17 election. Isaac Herzog -- the Labor Party chairman hoping to become Israel's next Prime Minister -- said that Netanyahu's speech, \"as impressive as it may be, did not prevent the Iranians' nuclear program\" nor did it impact talks now underway in Montreux, Switzerland, to address it. What the speech did accomplish, according to Herzog, is \"greatly undermine ... the relationship between Israel and the United States,\" with Obama opposing Netanyahu's speech as a political move that threatened to thwart the nuclear talks. \"It will not change the position of (Obama's) administration and will only broaden the crisis of our great friend and our strategic ally,\" Herzog said of the speech. \"That price, we will have to pay.\" On the other side of the debate are people such as Danny Danon, a former Israel deputy defense minister. \"Prime Minister Netanyahu sounded the alarm for the survival of our country,\" Danon said from Jerusalem. \"We are worried. And I am very proud of our prime minister, ... who said exactly what we feel: It is a bad deal.\" The speech and the reactions to it came ahead of a March 24 deadline in which negotiators from six world powers, plus Iran, are trying to reach a long-term deal about Iran's nuclear program. That looming date is why Netanyahu said he was compelled to address Congress at the invitation of House Speaker John Boehner (and without the advance knowledge of Obama). Prior to boarding a plane Sunday in Tel Aviv, the Prime Minister called his foray to Washington \"a crucial trip, even a historical one.\" The Iranian nuclear deadline isn't the only one looming for Netanyahu, or even the most immediate one.

During the transfer, a senior Indonesian police officer was pictured in photos with the Australian pair on a flight. Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were being taken from Kerobokan prison in Bali to Nusakambangan island in Central Java, where they will be held in a maximum security facility before facing a 12-man firing squad. The date of the execution is not yet known, although the convicted will be informed at least 72 hours before they are put to death. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs said it had lodged a formal complaint with the Indonesian embassy in Canberra over the treatment of the prisoners during the transfer, which took place before dawn on Wednesday. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told Australian media that an undue show of force, including armored vehicles and dozens of officers in helmets and balaclavas, was also used during the transfer. \"I just cannot comprehend it. They are two men who are described by their own prison governors as model citizens, two gentlemen who pose no risk to anyone,\" she told the ABC's AM program. \"I cannot comprehend the manner or the method of their transfer to the so-called execution island.\" A spokesman for Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the photos were taken without the consent of the officer involved, Commissioner Djoko Hari Utomo. \"The officer was inquiring about the physical condition of Mr Chan,\" Arrmanatha Nasir told CNN in regard to one of the images. \"It is regretful that this photo is being used by the media to portray something more than what it really is.\" Australia's complaint comes after Indonesia dismissed a last-minute proposal to save the pair's lives through a prisoner swap. Nasir told CNN that there are no Indonesian laws that would allow or provide for an exchange. \"Indonesia does not have legislation or laws or any other legal instruments that will enable the issue of a prisoner exchange to be conducted,\" he said, adding that the Australian government had been informed of this stance. Sukumaran and Chan, members of the so-called \"Bali Nine\" smuggling ring, have been held by Indonesian authorities for nearly a decade. They are expected to be held in a maximum security facility on Nusakambangan where they will be isolated before being put to death. They are among a number of people from different countries who are also scheduled for execution. Australian government and opposition parliamentarians attended a candlelight vigil at dawn Thursday, as a spectacular sunrise lit politicians from across Australia's political spectrum, united in opposition to the impending executions. \"We appeal to the Indonesian president to grant a stay of clemency,\" Bishop told the gathering. She reminded the Indonesian government that legal avenues remained open, before appealing for mercy on behalf of the convicted men's families. \"I've spoken to the families.

They are diverse and they're unique, just like everyone else in the world. Ella's series, \"First and foremost I am,\" consists of 21 portraits of people ranging from 9 months to 60 years old. She chose the number 21 to represent chromosome 21, the location of the most common genetic mutation causing the condition. It is currently on exhibit at the Reykjav\u00edk Museum of Photography and will be featured in May at the Warsaw Festival of Art Photography. Ella shot the photos in 2013 and 2014 as part of a final project at The School of Photography in Reykjavik. She recently shared the images with CNN iReport. The inspiration started with a radio interview Ella heard in which people were discussing ethical questions brought up by prenatal tests to detect birth defects. She hopes her photos shine a light on \"the beauty and diversity of mankind\" and make us wonder if a future without that diversity is desirable. \"I am not against prenatal/genetic testing for abnormalities but I think we need to stop and think what's next. ... It's necessary to open the discussion and educate people more about Down syndrome. It's not a disease or a flaw. Parents of children with Down syndrome ... wouldn't exchange them for anything in the world.\" The title of the series, \"First and foremost I am,\" comes from a newspaper article by Halldora Jonsdottir, a 30-year-old woman who is also featured in Ella's project. \"I have Down syndrome but FIRST AND FOREMOST I AM Halldora,\" Jonsdottir writes. \"I do a million things that other people do. My life is meaningful and good because I choose to be positive and see the good things in life. I go to work, attend school and have hobbies.\" Jonsdottir goes on to say, \"Who is perfect? Who can say, that we who have Down syndrome are worth less that anyone else? We are all different and would it be so great if we were all alike?\" Ella staged the portraits against a floral background because she wanted the subjects \"to stand out but also underline that all kinds of flowers can grow and flourish together.\" The photo shoots lasted from one to three hours. She said she didn't give any coaching or direction for how they should pose; she just talked with them and waited for the right moment to shoot. \"My favorite part of this project was how relaxed the atmosphere was.

+{"article": "(CNN)Share, and your gift will be multiplied. That may sound like an esoteric adage, but when Zully Broussard selflessly decided to give one of her kidneys to a stranger, her generosity paired up with big data. It resulted in six patients receiving transplants. That surprised and wowed her. \"I thought I was going to help this one person who I don't know, but the fact that so many people can have a life extension, that's pretty big,\" Broussard told CNN affiliate KGO. She may feel guided in her generosity by a higher power. \"Thanks for all the support and prayers,\" a comment on a Facebook page in her name read. \"I know this entire journey is much bigger than all of us. I also know I'm just the messenger.\" CNN cannot verify the authenticity of the page. But the power that multiplied Broussard's gift was data processing of genetic profiles from donor-recipient pairs. It works on a simple swapping principle but takes it to a much higher level, according to California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. So high, that it is taking five surgeons, a covey of physician assistants, nurses and anesthesiologists, and more than 40 support staff to perform surgeries on 12 people. They are extracting six kidneys from donors and implanting them into six recipients. \"The ages of the donors and recipients range from 26 to 70 and include three parent and child pairs, one sibling pair and one brother and sister-in-law pair,\" the medical center said in a statement. The chain of surgeries is to be wrapped up Friday. In late March, the medical center is planning to hold a reception for all 12 patients. Here's how the super swap works, according to California Pacific Medical Center. Say, your brother needs a kidney to save his life, or at least get off of dialysis, and you're willing to give him one of yours. But then it turns out that your kidney is not a match for him, and it's certain his body would reject it. Your brother can then get on a years-long waiting list for a kidney coming from an organ donor who died. Maybe that will work out -- or not, and time could run out for him. Alternatively, you and your brother could look for another recipient-living donor couple like yourselves -- say, two more siblings, where the donor's kidney isn't suited for his sister, the recipient. But maybe your kidney is a match for his sister, and his kidney is a match for your brother. So, you'd do a swap. That's called a paired donation. It's a bit of a surgical square dance, where four people cross over partners temporarily and everybody goes home smiling. But instead of a square dance, Broussard's generous move set off a chain reaction, like dominoes falling. Her kidney, which was removed Thursday, went to a recipient, who was paired with a donor. That donor's kidney went to the next recipient, who was also paired with a donor, and so on.

+{"article": "(CNN)In some ways, America's president pilots our ship of state as a captain pilots a jumbo jet, and this analogy suggests one possible way to avoid a repeat of the Germanwings massacre: Give the plane's flight crew certain powers akin to those given to America's Cabinet in the rare and terrifying situation when the president and vice president are at swords' point. Some background. Both presidents and plane captains must be shielded from lunatics and terrorists. This is why airlines across the world hardened cockpit doors after 9/11 and why Americans of all stripes are outraged by stories that the Secret Service on several occasions has failed to maintain proper security at the White House. Both presidents and plane captains are human, and subject to all the frailties of humans, from temporary disabilities created by bathroom breaks (for pilots) and scheduled surgeries (for presidents) to sudden death. Transitions in both the Oval Office and the cockpit should be made as smooth as possible. Hence the need for a vice president at the ready, able to take over at a moment's notice. The obvious aviation analogy here is the second pilot in the cockpit. In case of sudden death, the vice president or co-pilot simply takes over immediately. In case of a temporary disability -- say, a scheduled surgery under general anesthesia -- the president can hand over control to the vice president and then take back control when the disability ends. It is exactly what happened when President George W. Bush underwent planned colonoscopies in 2002 and 2007. On both occasions, Bush handed the tiller to his trusted co-pilot, Dick Cheney, and then resumed control when ready, under rules clearly laid out by the Constitution's 25th Amendment -- an amendment drafted and ratified after the shocking assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But what happens if a president is unable to predict his own future disability, or unable to recognize a genuine disability when it arises? The 25th Amendment allows the vice president to take over control in this situation, but to do so, the vice president needs the support of a majority of Cabinet officers -- officials previously appointed by the president himself and thus unlikely to support any inappropriate vice presidential power grab. On a jumbo jet, a co-pilot may likewise take over in certain situations. But current airplane architecture fails to use the crew in the optimal way. When one officer has barricaded himself in the cockpit and the other officer is banging on the door demanding entry, current airplane design enables the man in the cockpit unilaterally to block the demand for entrance with the flick of a switch. Think of this as an absolute veto. (Some airlines get around the problem with a rule that a flight attendant must replace a pilot so that there will always be at least two people in the cockpit.) But suppose instead that airlines were to borrow sensibly a page from America's Constitution. The man in the cockpit could temporarily block entrance, but this veto could be overridden if -- and", "summary": "Akhil Amar: When a leader is irrational or incapacitated, we need an override mechanism .

+{"article": "(CNN)An online group claiming affiliation with Islamic State terrorists has threatened American military members and their families in the past, and over the weekend, a new threat surfaced on the Web. A group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division posted the names, photos and addresses of about 100 U.S. troops online, calling for attacks against them. The file, posted online Saturday before being removed, claimed to have hacked military databases and said it was leaking 100 names \"so that our brothers residing in America can deal with you.\" The possibility of lone-wolf attacks in the United States, the type that this message calls for, is a threat officials take seriously. A U.S. law enforcement official said that all 100 or so troops named in the file are being contacted. It is believed that ISIS members and sympathizers have been scouring social media sites trying to glean as much information as possible about service members, and have even threatened the spouses of military personnel online. One military wife recalls recently staying up all night and deleting every Facebook picture of her children, every post that mentioned them or where they went to school. She Googled herself, trying to figure out how easy it would be to find where the family lived. In the morning, she went to her car and scraped the military decal off the front window. As the spouse of a Special Forces soldier, she's always tried to be conscious of how much she advertises that she and her three young children are a military family. \"It's hard because I am so proud of what my husband does, but lately so many spouses that I know are actually scared that they could be targets of ISIS or someone who sympathizes with ISIS,\" she told CNN in January, asking that CNN keep her name out of the story for that reason. Pro-ISIS hackers have never been responsible for a major cyber breach but some experts worry their capabilities are growing. J.M. Berger, co-author of \"ISIS: the State of Terror,\" told CNN, \"There are indications some former members of Anonymous and TeaMp0isoN (another hacking group) are now hacking on behalf of ISIS.\" The large majority of those within such hacking collectives are thought to hold very different views. In the wake of the attack against the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris in January, hackers affiliated with Anonymous declared online war on ISIS and al Qaeda. Regarding this weekend's threat targeting troops, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service notified the Marines named in the file, a Marine Corps spokesman said. But the spokesman told CNN that the threat has yet to be verified. The Navy reminded service members to limit the amount of personal information they share online. On Sunday, a Defense Department official told CNN that it cannot confirm the validity of the posting of troops' information, but said it is investigating.

How mentally tough she really is.\" Those were the words of tennis analyst Mary Joe Fernandez in 2001, early into Serena Williams' decider with Kim Clijsters in the final of one of tennis' most prestigious tournaments. The match was being televised on one of the biggest sports networks in the world, ESPN. The then 17-year-old Clijsters had just held to love amid vociferous cheers and -- in a breach of tennis etiquette -- a large portion of the fans on center court at the event now known as the BNP Paribas Open roared approvingly when Williams struck a double fault to begin the next game. Despite Williams growing up about 130 miles away in a suburb of Los Angeles, while Clijsters hailed from Belgium, there was clearly no home-court advantage. Williams' father, Richard, and older sister, Venus, were booed as they made their way to their seats prior to the finale, with Richard claiming in USA Today he was the victim of racial abuse. Venus Williams, meanwhile, said in a press conference at her next tournament she \"heard whatever he heard.\" It was Richard Williams who shaped his daughters into grand slam winners from a humble background, bereft of the type of money used to help manufacture many a champion. \"One guy said, 'I wish it was '75, we'd skin you alive,'\" Richard Williams told USA Today. \"I had trouble holding back tears. I think Indian Wells disgraced America.\" Charlie Pasarell, then the tournament director, said in the same story that he didn't discount Richard Williams was racially abused. CNN.com did not hear back from Pasarell when it put in an interview request for him and Clijsters declined an interview request. The fans' reaction apparently stemmed from the sisters' semifinal -- or lack of it. Venus Williams pulled out a mere minutes prior to the start, citing a knee injury. Whispers of Richard Williams pre-determining the outcome grew, no doubt aided by the comments of Elena Dementieva. After Venus Williams beat Dementieva in the quarterfinals, the Russian said the sisters' father would \"decide\" who won. Serena Williams, who was 19 back then, ultimately passed the 'test' that day against Clijsters, judging by the result: A three-set win. Serena Williams has certainly, too, shown her mental toughness over the years, adding 18 grand slam singles titles to the one she won prior to 2001. But what transpired tarnished the tournament, the sport and hurt one of tennis' all-time greats to such an extent that she stayed away from Indian Wells. Until now.

Durst, the focus of HBO's true crime documentary series \"The Jinx,\" was charged with first-degree murder last week in the 2000 killing of his longtime confidante, Susan Berman. Now the FBI is putting out a call to 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. \"They seem to be going to such great lengths to pin something else on him,\" DeGuerin said. \"They must not have much of a case to begin with.\" Durst, who authorities believe has a net worth of $100 million, has lived in numerous places and owned property in at least four states, according to court documents and public records. In \"The Jinx,\" Durst describes the time he spent living in Vermont with his first wife, Kathleen, running a health food store in the 1970s. In 1982, Kathleen McCormack Durst went missing. Durst says he last saw her when he dropped her off at a train station in Katonah, New York, and she headed to their Manhattan apartment. Her family members say they believe she's dead and that Durst is the one to blame. The case has never been solved. He's also lived in Galveston, Texas, where he admitted to shooting a neighbor and dismembering the body in 2001. He was acquitted in a 2003 murder trial after arguing he'd acted in self-defense. Last week, police searched condos Durst owns in Houston as part of the investigation into Berman's death. She was shot dead in December 2000 in her Beverly Hills, California, home. Investigators know Durst was in California the week Berman died. It's a detail Durst shrugs off in the HBO documentary, in which he denied he had anything to do with Berman's death and said, \"California's a big state.\" Authorities investigating a decades-old cold case in Vermont said Monday that there's a connection between Durst and the case of Lynne Schulze, a college student who disappeared from Middlebury College in 1971. \"We are aware of the connection between the disappearance of Lynne Schulze and Robert Durst,\" Middlebury Police Capt.

After our first initial week with a trainer and nutritionist, the six of us were introduced to a whole new way of how to approach fitness and how to incorporate it into our lives. I knew it was going to be a difficult task, especially for someone like me heavily involved in civic affairs and community service. At Lifetime Fitness, our nutritionist walked us through a number of exercises on how we should look at food, nutrition and our calorie intake. After being on several diets over my lifetime, what he said was simple. To look and review your intake and replace it with other foods such as fruit and vegetables -- these small steps can be major impact on your training. Tackling nutrition and calorie intake can also be exactly how I viewed the climb up Stone Mountain. I put these nutritional issues on the backburner for years. It was pretty much like looking at the mountain that I was about to climb that morning -- where do I start, where do I begin? -- and telling myself that it was going to be an arduous task. My training schedule has also been an uphill battle. In January and the first weeks of February, I started strong with my gym, running and swim workouts. However, as life pressures got in the way, I saw myself withering off. But luckily I have been inspired by my 2015 CNN Fit Nation teammates to keep me on track. Their updates have been truly inspiring and have helped me think about the struggles I face in my training activities. As I get older, I realize that fitness and nutrition are key to long-term health; however, the support of friends and family is also important to help tackle your health. My team members of the CNN Fit Nation have been there for me. I recently weighed myself when I visited the doctor's office. It has been six weeks since I hit the scale. I actually lost 20 pounds. What! Really! Uphill battles are hard to see when you are in the middle of them. But you keep moving. Just like that Sunday afternoon in January, I could not wait to be on the mountaintop and see the view from Stone Mountain with the members of 2015 CNN Fit Nation. And guess what? After all this huffing and puffing over the last six weeks, I can't wait to see the view in September at the Malibu triathlon. It's just another uphill mountain to climb.", "summary": "George \"Chip\" Greenidge Jr. says training schedule has been an uphill battle .

+{"article": "(CNN)A video purportedly shows three British schoolgirls preparing to cross the Turkish border last month into Syria, where the teens are believed to have traveled to join ISIS, a Turkish TV network reported Friday. If authentic, the video would represent the first publicly released images showing the girls at the Turkey-Syria border. The video, released by Turkish TV network A Haber and distributed by Reuters, shows three warmly dressed females who resemble the missing teens standing with luggage outside a car and talking to at least one man who is helping them with the bags. The footage purportedly was recorded February 19 in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep, just north of Aleppo, Syria, A Haber reported. Two days before, East London classmates Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15, boarded a Turkish Airlines plane from London's Gatwick Airport to Istanbul without their families' knowledge, according to British police. \"Put your bags. ... Hurry, don't stop here,\" a man says in the video. The girls in the video wear coats, two with fur-lined hoods covering their heads. A third wears a hijab. One appears to be looking at a cell phone. \"He just hung up,\" one of them says. A man takes a bag from the trunk of a yellow vehicle. The vehicle's license plate has a number that indicates it is registered in the Gaziantep area. It wasn't immediately clear how A Haber obtained the video. CNN couldn't immediately verify the footage's authenticity. The video's release came a day after Turkey's foreign minister said his country arrested a \"spy\" who allegedly helped the British girls get into Syria. The alleged agent was working for a country that is part of an international anti-ISIS coalition, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Thursday. Separately, a Turkish official speaking on condition of anonymity said that the suspect is not Turkish, and is not a citizen of the country for which he was working. This month, a Turkish broadcaster released images that it said showed the British girls boarding a bus in Istanbul after they arrived from London. They are thought to have crossed the Turkish border into Syria within days. A trip to Gaziantep would have been long: The border town is more than 525 miles to the southeast of Istanbul. Authorities have said they have no reason to believe the girls are still in Turkey and believe they have crossed into Syria, parts of which have been taken over by Islamist terror group ISIS. The girls' parents have publicly begged for them to come home. Days before they left for Turkey, at least one of the girls allegedly contacted a young woman, Aqsa Mahmood, who left her home in Scotland to travel to Syria in 2013 and is accused of trying to recruit others via social media. She has posted tips for girls and young women wanting to travel to Syria to marry jihadis, as she did. Her blog also has links to advice posted by another jihad supporter, which recommends that those traveling to Syria seek to pack the essentials", "summary": "In video, someone helps three females with luggage in Gaziantep, Turkey, network reports .

After all, this was no ordinary monorail car, and Nowak is not your average collector. This was the front cab of an original monorail train that transported millions of visitors throughout Walt Disney World in the 1970s and 1980s. The original Mark IV monorail trains were retired in 1989 to make room for a new generation of models, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Nowak and his wife are Disney fanatics who honeymooned at Disney World and once visited all the Disney parks in the world (minus Paris) in a month. He's also a self-described artist, inventor and collector of \"weird old vehicles,\" including an articulated bus he claims to have transformed into a mobile nightclub. The couple from Chico, California, purchased the cab in 2014, dreaming of the day they might use it to drive their kids to school or bring it to the annual Burning Man festival (Nowak declined to say what he paid for the rail car.) But plans change. Nowak listed the item last week on eBay for $260,000 with a starting bid of $169,000. More than 1,500 people were watching the auction as of Saturday night, though no one had bid. The listing itself was pulled from eBay on Sunday. Nowak, who owns a sound and lighting custom stage design company, had told CNN he and his wife needed the money to fund their next big project, but he declined to provide details. \"My wife and I had plans for it, but we're kind of strapped for cash, so we figured, let's put it out and see what happens.\" The listing provided some insight into what Nowak might have had in mind for the cab. \"Some people have train cars in their back yard, imagine your own monorail guest room, or man cave. Mount it on a bus chassis and drive it around!! Turn it into your kids' ultimate clubhouse,\" the description on the eBay page read. \"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a very serious piece of Disney history.\" The listing said the vehicle is available for viewing in Tampa, where Nowak left it with a friend after buying it from a seller in Georgia via eBay last year. CNN could not independently confirm its authenticity. Nowak says he did not receive a title or certificate of authenticity when he purchased the cab but he is confident that it's the real deal. \"I guess there's chance it could be a reproduction, but I'm not too worried,\" he said. The listing promised free shipping, but Nowak is not sure that he's ready to part with the item. \"I'm sure I'd have salty taste in my mouth if it gets sold, but we'll see what happens,\" he said. \"If this thing gets sold, I know that in 20 years, I'll look back and think that of all the things I got rid of, this is the coolest.\"", "summary": "The listing has been removed from eBay .

+{"article": "(CNN)A severe solar storm created a stunning display of light in the night sky over parts of the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand early Wednesday morning, spotted by those lucky enough to be awake in the wee hours. Called aurora borealis in the Northern Hemisphere and aurora australis in the Southern Hemisphere, the lights were the product of large geomagnetic blasts from the sun that arrived Tuesday about 10 a.m. ET (1 a.m. Wednesday in Sydney). Both the aurora borealis and the aurora australis were sparked by a particularly strong solar storm that sent charged particles toward the Earth, said CNN meteorologist Todd Borek. \"When these particles bombard the Earth's magnetic field in the upper atmosphere, the collision often creates brilliant colors,\" Borek said. \"Most of the time, auroras appear green -- when these particles collide with oxygen in the atmosphere -- but there were reports this past aurora australis also appeared to have a reddish tint, which suggested the collision with high-altitude oxygen was also seen on Earth.\" Share your photos of the aurora with iReport . The stronger the storm, the farther south it can be seen, said Borek. And this geomagnetic storm was rather powerful, reaching as a high as a G4 on a scale from 1 to 5 Tuesday night, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. The storm was expected to last 24 to 36 hours, and NOAA's latest reports say it's down to a G1. Though the storm could affect GPS technology and power grids, NOAA said Tuesday that it had no reports of disruptions. The most visible impact as been this stunning light display. If the auroras are seen again tonight, Borek said, they won't be as pronounced and most likely won't reach as far south as Tuesday night. People in northern Michigan, northern Minnesota and Maine may be able to spot them, although he warned that clouds from Minnesota to Montana may impede visibility Wednesday night.", "summary": "A particularly strong solar storm created a stunning light display .

+{"article": "Boston (CNN)Eight minutes of sheer terror. That's what police officers from Watertown, Massachusetts, described in heart-stopping detail Monday, revealing details of a chaotic shootout with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. One of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died from injuries he sustained that day -- wounded in a gun battle, then run over by his brother, Dzhokhar. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev managed to escape, but was later caught by police. Now he's on trial, facing 30 charges for the marathon bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 260 others. The shootout with police in the early morning hours of April 19, 2013, marked one of the most dramatic chapters in the manhunt for the suspects who paralyzed the Boston metropolitan area for days. It started, patrolman Joseph Reynolds testified, soon after he locked eyes with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who he spotted driving an SUV that matched a description of a stolen vehicle. Reynolds called for backup. It wasn't long before Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were firing guns, throwing bombs and trying to run officers over with a stolen SUV, Reynolds said. \"Tamerlan Tsarnaev got out of the driver's side door and began shooting at my cruiser,\" Reynolds said. Soon, the officer said he ran out of bullets. Sgt. Jeffrey Pugliese saw what looked like muzzle flashes as soon as he arrived at the scene. \"I put my vehicle in park, I took a round through the windshield, I was sprayed with glass and I knew, OK, we were being fired on,\" said Sgt. John MacLellan. Then the two brothers began throwing improvised explosives, including pipe bombs and a pressure cooker bomb, the officers testified. \"I noticed one was bigger than the other, and they had different styles when they were throwing the devices,\" MacLellan said. \"One was throwing like a baseball.\" MacLellan said the pressure cooker bomb \"was incredibly loud. I had to holster my weapon. My eyes were shaking violently in my head. I couldn't see.\" Pugliese said he opened fire when he saw one of the men, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, charging toward him. Pugliese fired and the man threw his pistol at the officer, hitting him in the bicep. Pugliese tackled him. And with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was wounded from gunfire, on the ground, the three officers tried to put him in handcuffs. They thought they'd be able to arrest him. But then something changed. \"We were wrestling with Tamerlan, and all of a sudden I could hear an engine revving,\" Reynolds said . The SUV, Reynolds said, was heading straight toward the officers. The dramatic descriptions of the shootout Monday sounded like a scene from a Hollywood film, said Boston Globe columnist Kevin Cullen. But the most extraordinary revelation in court, he said, was that the night could have ended very differently. \"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev did not have to go back and run his brother over. He actually did a three-point turn and reversed the vehicle. He could have sped off and run away,\" Cullen told CNN's \"The Lead with Jake Tapper.\" He was in a much better position to flee.

Those polls turned out to be wrong. Instead, the Likud party grabbed at least 29 of the 120 seats in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, according to unofficial numbers from the Israeli election committee, based on 99% of the vote. Its leaders will have the first chance at forming a coalition government.

Two weeks ago, he made a controversial speech to the U.S. Congress warning of any deal with Iran on its nuclear program. Then, a few days ago, he declared there would be no Palestinian state so long as he's Prime Minister -- reversing an earlier position and putting him at odds again with the Obama administration's support for a two-state solution.

Somehow, Glenn survived and attacked Nicholas, but stopped short of killing him. That's our Glenn, always doing the right thing when it comes down to it. 5. Rick's memorable walker encounter . Just when you thought you'd seen everything, Rick literally squeezed a walker's neck then discharged a round causing the walker to spray out blood -- a walker he presented to the residents of Alexandria, in a bid to lead them toward survival. Rick was then rudely interrupted by Pete, who slashed Reg's throat in a fit of anger. At that point, Deanna told Rick to off Pete, which he did. Phew!

The five \"initiated recall (attempt) due to Mayor Knowles' failure to adequately rein in an out-of-control police department during the protests following Mike Brown's death,\" the activist group said. The city government acknowledged Saturday that it received the affidavit. Earlier this week, the police chief and the city manager resigned in the wake of a U.S. Justice Department report alleging institutionalized racism at just about every level of Ferguson's municipal government, including the police department. Residents elect City Council members, who in turn appoint the city manager. The city manager directs and supervises all city departments, including police. The top municipal court clerk was fired earlier in connection with racist emails. This month's Justice Department report was initiated after one of Ferguson's police officers, Darren Wilson, shot and killed African-American teen Michael Brown in August, a shooting that spurred months of protests. Wilson, a white officer who said he shot Brown in self-defense, will not be charged in the case -- a grand jury declared it wouldn't indict him in November, and the Justice Department said this month that it would not bring federal civil rights charges in the case. Wilson resigned from the department in November, citing security concerns. Knowles indicated Friday he won't be stepping down. \"I think it's important to recognize that there's a lot of people who may be angry at the situation; there's a lot of people who are frustrated in this community with the way things have gone down,\" the mayor, who is white, told CNN. \"But there's a lot of people who still -- and who have expressed this to me -- express confidence in both my willingness, and members of the (City) Council's willingness, to listen, to be responsive, and to make changes as necessary,\" he continued. \"People in the community recognize this, now, not everybody. I didn't win every time with 100% of the vote. But I can tell you there are ways to remove me if that is the will of the people,\" the mayor said. Blake Ashby, a white resident of Ferguson, said Friday that he believed Knowles has \"consciously tried to reach out to all parts\" of the city of 21,000 people. \"If we lose Mayor Knowles, we lose a force for change, and it will be harder to make the changes that the DOJ (Department of Justice) is asking for,\" Ashby said.

Now those bones are to be reburied following a series of commemorations full of the pomp and circumstance befitting of a royal farewell. In the years since it was exhumed, the King's skeleton has given up plenty of secrets -- and research continues to find out more. Say the name Richard III to most people, and the image that will spring to mind is of Shakespeare's villain, a cruel, conniving figure whose nasty character is reflected in his physical abnormalities, a \"poisonous bunch-backed toad.\" History, they say, is written by the victors, and according to the Tudors and their most famous playwright, Richard was hunchbacked, with a withered hand and limping gait, \"deformed, unfinished ... and that so lamely and unfashionable that dogs bark at me as I halt by them.\" For the archaeologists searching for Richard's remains, the sight of the freshly-uncovered skeleton's twisted spine was the moment the hairs began to stand up on the back of their necks; tests later revealed the King suffered from idiopathic adolescent-onset scoliosis. But while the skeleton's curved vertebrae are striking, experts say the resulting disability would not have been obvious in Richard III when he was alive. It would have meant his right shoulder was slightly higher than the other, but this was likely disguised by clothing, and so only apparent to the King's closest family and confidantes.

The most famous portraits of Richard III depict him as dark-haired and steely eyed, but they were painted some 25 to 30 years after his death, and DNA tests on the remains suggest they are far from accurate. Genetic specialist Turi King, from the University of Leicester, said analysis of various genetic markers offered clues to the King's appearance, suggesting he was actually fair haired and had blue eyes. \"[There are] genes that we know are involved in coding for hair and eye color,\" she told CNN in December 2014. \"The genetic evidence shows he had a 96% probability of having blue eyes, and a 77% probability of having blond hair, though this can darken with age.\" This would mean that the painting of Richard III held by the Society of Antiquaries of London is the closest approximation we have to his real appearance: It shows him with grey-blue eyes and lighter brown hair than other portraits.

Attorney Stephen Jones said other members of the former chapter of the fraternity have been physically assaulted, though he wouldn't go into specifics. Jones told a news conference that he had been retained by the board of trustees -- the alumni advisers for the chapter -- \"to assist them in evaluating certain legal issues and other matters that may impact local chapter of SAE.\" There are no plans right now to sue the university, which shut down the chapter's house and disbanded the SAE chapter, he said. The national chapter of SAE also revoked the OU chapter's charter. The school also expelled two members of the fraternity, but Jones said he is not representing them. Jones said the actions on a nine-second video that showed some members yelling a racist chant that included a reference to lynching were inexcusable. There was \"no justification for what occurred. Zero,\" he said. Jones said he is involved to protect the due process and First Amendment rights of members. The fraternity's national office said it is investigating the incident in the video to see if it needs to take action against any of the students. \"We are committed to following the due diligence and protocols that we have set forth in our fraternity laws,\" the national SAE office said after the news conference, \"as they are designed to enable us to make deliberate, thoughtful decisions that reflect our commitment to our standards and to our members.\" The office also has said it was looking into incidents involving other chapters. \"Several other incidents with chapters or members have been brought to the attention of the headquarters ... and each of those instances will be investigated,\" the national office said in a statement. It said some of the incidents date back more than 20 years. Another chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity is under fire over alleged racial slurs -- this time in Seattle. University of Washington students are accusing fraternity members of offensive comments during a protest to raise awareness about racism last month. \"People were called monkeys and apes by members of SAE,\" said Maggie Negussie, president of the university's Black Student Union.

Next year in Vienna, construction will begin on a 275-foot building made almost entirely of wood, while Stockholm may build a 34-story wooden apartment by 2023. Others are in the pipeline from Canada to Australia to Europe. With faster construction times and a softer environmental impact, could the building material of the past be the future of construction? Vancouver-based architect Michael Green says the momentum is gaining as new engineered woods allow for greater strength and heights in buildings. His firm MGA recently completed a 29.5m (97 feet) wooden building, the Wood Innovation and Design Center in Prince George, Northern British Columbia. But he said news of taller wooden structures is sprouting up all the time. \"There seems to be a new announcement every two or three weeks,\" Green said. \"We've got one in Vancouver for 18 stories and in Vienna there's one for more than 20 stories. \"We've done research in high earthquake zones that show 30 stories is feasible; we certainly think we can go to 40 and higher.\" He said new developments in engineered woods -- small wood components that are glued together to make large panels for building -- are a game-changer for construction. Mass timber panels, in particular, cross-laminated timber (known in the industry simply as CLT) are becoming established as a quicker, greener and eventually cheaper alternative to concrete and steel. One great bonus of the material is the speed of construction; panels can be made to measure in the factory complete with openings, windows and doors. While the main advantages of working in wood are manifold -- it's flexible, robust and easily worked -- Green says wood may be the only material to address the growing problems of urbanization. \"Wood has not been an urban material so we looked at how it could be a contributor to urban environments,\" he said. \"There are a whole host of advantages. \"Steel and concrete have huge carbon footprints. Concrete accounts for about 6-8% of man's greenhouse gas emissions, whereas wood stores carbon dioxide and gives us a vehicle to create carbon-neutral buildings.\" The energy used to harvest wood, he said, is much less than the enormous amount required to produce concrete and steel. \"There is no other building material that is grown by the Sun,\" he said. \"We've calculated that the North American forests grow enough wood for a 20-story wood building every 8-10 minutes.\" Ultimately, building in wood, Green argues, creates an economic incentive to plant more forests. \"The climate story is really happening at both ends of the argument -- by using more wood we encourage countries around the world to plant more trees. \"About 20% of man's carbon footprint comes from deforestation, this creates an important incentive for reforestation,\"", "summary": "Wood is making a comeback as a construction material .

We were born into the wrong tribe, so to speak. Campaign season shed light on the troubling reality in Israel -- that tribalism trumps democracy and ethnicity trumps citizenship. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Arabs were \"being bused to the polling station in droves,\" people around the world were justifiably horrified. And Monday, in response to the outrage, he apologized for his statement, offering that he knew his comments \"offended members of the Israeli Arab community.\" But Netanyahu's policies speak much more loudly than his half-apology. And with him poised to serve a fourth term, many Palestinian citizens of Israel fear, with good reason, that his victory means it is open season for anti-Arab racism in the Knesset and in the streets. Israel's war on its Palestinian citizens is nothing new; our rights have been under attack for years (imagine a proposal that forced Jewish Americans to sign a \"loyalty oath\" to the United States as was proposed for Palestinians and other non-Jewish citizens of Israel). However, the majority's attempt to further entrench institutionalized racism and deny the rights of indigenous Palestinians has achieved frightening momentum. The controversial \"Jewish Nation-State Bill\" that previously floundered in the Knesset has been resurrected. The bill, if passed, would codify the principle of preserving a Jewish ethnic majority. There are versions of it that establish Hebrew as the sole official language and recognize Jewish religious law as a \"source of inspiration for the Knesset.\" Even Israel's Supreme Court has come under attack in recent years for occasionally defending minority rights, which some view as a threat to the legal privileges afforded its Jewish citizens. In response, the government changed the Supreme Court's composition to tilt it further to the right. Today, the sole Arab Supreme Court justice, Salim Jubran, very often serves as a dissenting voice in judgments where the court favors legislation demeaning to Israel's Palestinian citizens.

Simply put, the law enforces segregation within Israel, helping to keep Palestinian citizens out of Jewish communities. Attempts to marginalize Palestinian citizens of Israel also extend to the political sphere. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's successful push to raise the threshold required to win seats in the Knesset was a move designed to exclude Palestinian lawmakers.

He was 88. The director and cinematographer, an Oscar nominee, died Thursday at his home in Manhattan of natural causes, Stacey Farrar, marketing director at the Maysles Center in New York, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. \"Gimme Shelter\" -- which chronicled the 1969 Rolling Stones tour that culminated in the Altamont Free Concert, in which a fan brandishing a gun was stabbed to death by a Hells Angels security man \u2014 stood in a stark and more enduring counterpoint to the myth of the documentary \"Woodstock,\" a depiction of the glorified 1969 free concert whose own dark side was left out in its pre-conceived, celebratory style. Their most well-known film, \"Grey Gardens\" (1975), was a profile of Jacqueline Onassis' eccentric cousins -- mother and daughter Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier -- who lived in a dilapidated, cat-packed estate in East Hampton, New York. The brothers worked with fellow directors Ellen Hovde and Muffie Meyer on the film, which was remade as a Tony-winning Broadway play and as an award-winning 2009 HBO drama that starred Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. Just prior to \"Gimme Shelter,\" they filmed \"Salesman\" (1969), which covered six weeks in the lives of four door-to-door Bible salesmen. The brothers, who preferred the moniker of filmmaker rather than director, often focused on musical figures. Maysles was a cameraman on D.A.

The Beatles in the U.S.A.\" (1964), \"With Love From Truman\" (1966) and \"Meet Marlon Brando\" (1966), which premiered at the New York Film Festival. In 1968, they made \"Vladimir Horowitz: The Last Romantic,\" and the following year, they shot \"Horowitz Plays Mozart,\" also for TV. \"People are people.

Protesters fired gunshots and torched a local electoral office in Nigeria's oil-rich Rivers state as they marched to protest national elections held to elect Nigeria's next President. \"There's been so much violence in Rivers state that it's just not tenable,\" said Lai Mohammed, spokesman for the main opposition party, the All Peoples Congress. The All Peoples Congress says the vote has been rigged, voters intimidated and demanded that the elections held in Rivers state be canceled. The ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, refutes the accusation, saying the election was \"credible and the result reflects the overwhelming wish of the people of Rivers state to support President Goodluck Jonathan.\" Heavy rain eventually forced the protesters home, but there are fears that it will take more than rain to stop further protests and violence. \"We are concerned by what seems to be happening,\" said Attahiru Jega, Nigeria's election chairman, about events in Rivers state. Nigeria has just held what are thought to be the closest elections since a return to democracy in 1999 after decades of military rule. The two main candidates are incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan and retired general Muhammedu Buhari.

+{"article": "(CNN)Muhammadu Buhari has ruled Nigeria before, as one of a line of military strongmen who dominated the country between 1966 and 1999. A military coup brought Buhari to power in late 1983 -- closing a brief period of popular rule by Shehu Shagari -- and another military coup ousted him from power in August 1985. Buhari's 20-month rule was known for what he described as a \"war on indiscipline,\" a tough regime which some say was marred by human rights abuses. The 72-year-old retired major general's experience as a military ruler has been viewed as a plus by some and a minus by others in present-day Nigeria, where the government has been locked in a deadly battle with the militant group Boko Haram. This year alone, the extremists have killed at least 1,000 civilians, Human Rights Watch says. The ongoing violence in the Northeast has put security -- along with corruption and the economy -- at the top of the election agenda. Prior to this year's polls in March, Ayo Johnson, a documentary filmmaker and analyst on African affairs, told CNN that voters would opt for whoever could make Nigeria feel safe. \"Many Nigerians will not forget (Buhari) was a military leader, during a dictatorship,\" Johnson said. \"Or maybe they will feel that they need a military leader to address fundamental problems such as terrorism.\" Buhari has campaigned as a born-again democrat to allay fears about his strict military regime, while stressing that Nigeria's security needs to be the next government's focus. \"It's a question of security. Whether I was a former military officer or a politician through and through, when there is insecurity of this scale in the country, that takes the priority,\" he said from his campaign plane. In another interview with Amanpour in February, Buhari blamed President Goodluck Jonathan's government for repeated setbacks in the fight against extremists. \"The misappropriation of resources provided by the government for weapons means the Nigerian military is unable to beat Boko Haram,\" he said. Asked by Amanpour about abuses allegedly committed during his own previous leadership, Buhari said there was \"a degree of accuracy\" in the claims. But he said he had ruled Nigeria as part of a military administration. \"When that military administration came under my leadership, we suspended -- as a military then -- part of that constitution that we felt would be difficult for us to operate and as also a consensus,\" he said. \"I think I'm being judged harshly as an individual that what happened during a military administration can be extended under a multiparty democratic system.\" Buhari's campaign was 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 2015 presidential race was Buhari's fourth attempt at leadership since he was ousted from power in 1985.

This week, the conservative weekly The Washington Examiner aimed to mark Obamacare's fifth anniversary by asking a panel whether to \"reform, replace or restart\" the law. A gas leak scuttled the event. Once they've regrouped for their next panel, Republicans should instead entertain a different R: Revise. So far every plan Republicans are offering strikes out any mandate to purchase insurance, which, oddly for a party celebrating self-reliance, encourages some people to continue shifting their adult responsibilities onto others. Many of the GOP plans replace the subsidies that make exchange plans affordable for low-income Americans with tax credits. Tax credits don't make much sense when you don't have a lot of taxes to pay in the first place. These alternatives appear to be thinly veiled transitions away from the key Obamacare principle of providing guaranteed access. To date the law has reduced the rates of uninsured Americans by a whopping 35%. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, lifted his veil even during his own plan's debut by insisting \"every last word of Obamacare must be repealed\" while promoting his own Health Care Choices Act that ditches subsidies and the mandate. Republican presidential front-runner Jeb Bush shares Cruz's preference to dismantle the \"monstrosity\" altogether, describing his preference for cheaper catastrophic insurance that helps people with massive bills but leaves poor Americans to fend for themselves when it comes to needless perks -- like insulin and blood pressure pills. And besides repealing the ACA, House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Georgia, wants to tear into President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society achievements as well. His budget proposal dismantles the federal Medicaid program by slashing its funding and devolving it to the states, while asking seniors on Medicare to try their luck with a voucher-discounted private insurance. What these approaches don't get is that we live in a country entirely populated by citizens who want and expect to receive medical care when they need it, yet not all of these citizens want to pay anything for the privilege. The beating heart of Obamacare is its mandate to purchase health insurance, which keeps costs down for everyone, makes", "summary": "Ford Vox: With its budget proposal to kill Obamacare, or hopes the Supreme Court will do the same, the GOP makes a mistake .

+{"article": "(CNN)The American Civil Liberties Union is challenging an Alabama law that will force those under 18 seeking an abortion to go through an adversarial process that's akin to a trial. Generally, laws in the United States require parental consent for a minor to obtain an abortion. But for some children, parental consent is impossible or even dangerous. This class of minors must seek a judicial bypass. While the bypass is a common feature of abortion laws in other states, this Alabama law may have gone too far. Here are the suspect provisions of this \"bypass by trial\": . \u2022 Alabama has turned what is supposed to be an informal, child-centered hearing into more of a trial. \u2022 The court can appoint a Guardian ad Litem -- normally an appointed lawyer for a child in, say, a divorce proceeding or a hearing involving unfit parents -- for the fetus. \u2022 The minor may be cross-examined by the district attorney and possibly the minor's parents. \u2022 Information about the minor's pregnancy may be disclosed to her family, friends and employers, and they might even be brought to court to testify -- against the minor. When it comes to abortion, minors are supposed to enjoy the same constitutional right of privacy as adults, free from undue state interference. However, the Supreme Court has also specifically articulated reasons why the constitutional rights of children are not identical to the rights of adults. Children are vulnerable and unable to make critical decisions and, of course, parents have a right to participate in raising their child. States may pass laws that subject minors seeking an abortion to an additional requirement: parental involvement. However, if the state chooses to require parental consent for a pregnant minor to get an abortion, the state also must provide an alternative procedure for obtaining that authorization -- one that \"bypasses\" having to get Mom and Dad's permission. The Supreme Court has required that these hearings \"must assure that resolution ... be completed with anonymity and sufficient expedition to provide an effective opportunity for an abortion to be obtained.\" Plus, and perhaps most importantly, the procedure bypassing parental consent cannot be a thinly veiled mechanism for an \"absolute, and possibly arbitrary, veto.\" In plain language, hearings must be quick and quiet, and they cannot be held in kangaroo court. The problem is, this does not give a lot of detailed direction to courts about how exactly to conduct these hearings. It's not surprising that court procedures vary wildly, and that sooner or later, a state like Alabama would experiment with state abortion law. Our system was specifically designed to allow states to experiment with social and economic legislation. Of course, that state prerogative is also tempered by a federal court's power to strike these laws down if they are unconstitutional. In this case, the ACLU's position is that creating an adversarial hearing goes too far. A hearing is fine, it seems, but something approaching a trial rises to the level of an impermissible \"undue burden\" on the right to have an abortion.

+{"article": "(CNN)It shouldn't come as a surprise that Yemen has collapsed -- again. A country that has split and been pulled together before, has the youngest and fastest growing population in the region, is running low on oil and water, and possesses a \"personalist\" government rather than stable institutions, was on the top of every expert's list as the fragile state most likely to fail next. What is surprising is that U.S. policy ignored all of this and proceeded on the premise that simply drone-bombing al Qaeda terrorists could keep Yemen intact and stable. Indeed, last fall, when President Barack Obama pointed to U.S. policy in Yemen as an example of a \"success\" and a model for the plans that would roll back the Islamic State (also known as ISIS), I shivered. For as September ended, Shi'ite Houthi rebels from the north moved south and took the capital city, Sanaa. By January, the Islamic State was noticeably increasing its recruitment in Yemen, and that same month the Yemen-based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for organizing the deadly Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris. Last week, the Islamic State bombed two Shi'ite mosques in Yemen, killing more than 130 worshippers at prayer. This week, the Houthi forces are closing in on Yemen's second major city, Aden, on the south coast, and the U.S.-supported President, Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi, has reportedly fled the country. As the United States has closed its embassy and withdrawn its last troops, Yemen has slid into total chaos, with rebels and jihadists on both sides capturing military bases and seizing tanks and heavy weapons. The situation is so dire that a coalition of Sunni nations, led by Saudi Arabia, has launched massive airstrikes against the Houthis, with a Saudi adviser threatening to bring up to 150,000 ground troops into Yemen to restore the Hadi regime. Yemen does have value as a lesson -- this is what happens when you ignore the basic foundations of social stability. These include legitimate leadership with stable succession plans; a united elite; institutions to bridge regional and ethnic divisions and assure fairness in political and economic access and a functioning economy with capabilities for providing employment and growth. Rather than working to secure these things, the U.S. administration has succumbed to the illusion that precision bombing or other surgical interventions to remove \"dangerous elements\" will sustain broader social and political stability. Anyone could see that the conditions for collapse were progressing in Yemen and that aerial attacks on al Qaeda terrorists would have no effect on them. Those attacks were a sideshow -- like firing a lousy band performing on the deck of an ocean liner, while a hull full of holes is taking on water fast.

Say... a circular one? Monohm, a startup based in Berkeley, California, was founded around this very idea. For the last year, the three-person team has been working a circular, palm-sized device dubbed Runcible. They cheekily refer to it as the \"anti-smartphone,\" a description that goes for both its form factor and its value system. The round device is meant to be the antidote to our feed-obsessed, notification-saturated digital existence. It's a challenge to the rectangular status quo and everything it represents. That's a quixotic dream, but an interesting one. Display technologies have a long and rectangular history. Before smartphones there were movie screens, TVs, and computers, not to mention paintings and pages of print. And then of course there are windows\u2014in some ways the original glass rectangles. In each case, the rectangle's prominence can be attributed in large part to practicality. Whether you're talking about film or glass or stone, rectangles are easy to make. They don't leave much wasted material. As frames for shaping the world, however, different types of rectangles can produce vastly different effects. 14 of the Best Architecture Photos From the Past Year . In her book The Virtual Window, which traces the rectangular frame from Renaissance painting up through Microsoft Windows, media theorist Anne Friedberg offers an example from the history of architecture, centering on a public feud between French builder August Perret and the preeminent modernist architect Le Corbusier. Perret was a strong advocate of the traditional French casement window, which was oriented vertically. Its main function, he said, was to let light into a room. Le Corbusier, making use of new manufacturing techniques, designed his buildings around long, horizontal windows, which were as much about framing the outside world as illuminating the space within. The disagreement influenced architecture for decades to come. The simple act of turning a rectangle on its side gave us entirely new ways to think about space. Rectangles are still subtly dictating our behavior today. Movie screens, chased by TVs, have gotten bigger and wider, encouraging us to sit back and lose ourselves in the spectacle. (In 1930, Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein lamented how the cinema's \"passive horizontalism.\" He wanted the screen to be square.) Smartphones, with their slender, touch-controlled displays, have become a distinctly more active rectangle. Paired with the never-ending vertical feeds that fill apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, they've become an irresistible, inexhaustible diversion. The point is this: Frames matter. They suggest certain things about how we should approach them. They shape the type of stuff that's made for them. And if just turning a rectangle on its side can make such a big difference, imagine all the interesting things that might happen if you left the rectangle behind altogether. Runcible isn't meant to be a smartphone replacement so much as an alternative. \"I think we've become really, really good at getting interrupted and creating conduits for interruption,\" says", "summary": "A Californian startup has developed a circular smartphone called \"Runcible\" The provocative anti-phone is meant to be an antidote to our obsession for digital devices ."}
+{"article": "(CNN)Selma, it seems, is everywhere. The Ava DuVernay film of that name continues to draw audiences and plaudits, while this month marks the 50th anniversary of three pivotal civil rights marches from the Alabama city -- the first two stopped by brute force, the third a triumphant procession to the state capital of Montgomery led by Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph Bunche, Maurice Davis and other activists. Now, the events that seared those marches into the American consciousness are the subject of a photography show at the Steven Kasher Gallery in New York. \"Selma March 1965\" brings together -- for the first time, anywhere -- pictures by three essential witnesses of the civil rights era: James Barker, Spider Martin and the man Kasher calls \"the single greatest civil rights photographer\" -- Charles Moore. The pictures in the gallery above include Moore's work in Selma and from other parts of the South, including some of the riveting, award-winning photos he made in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963. (Two weeks after his Birmingham pictures appeared in a landmark issue of Life magazine, a letter to the editor succinctly captured the elemental power of Moore's work. The Birmingham pictures, wrote a reader from Indiana, were \"superb and bone-chilling.\") \"The quality, the depth, the sense of reality that he brings to the work is unparalleled,\" Kasher said of Moore's civil rights shots. Kasher's own bona fides on the topic, meanwhile, are well-established: He's mounted photography shows on the civil rights movement in 30 different public venues since the mid-1990s. \"It's important to remember that Charles was a white Alabaman,\" Kasher said. \"He was the photographer at the Montgomery Advertiser -- hardly a bastion of integration -- who became very sympathetic to the movement. I knew Charles pretty well, and he had many sides to him -- sides he was able to reconcile and that allowed him to shoot with a deep understanding of so many different points of view. He was not parachuting into these marches and protests in the South. He had roots there and was fully engaged. \"Of course, there are lots of really good pictures of the era by, say, Bruce Davidson, Bob Adelman and others, but they're Northerners -- and I think that shows. There's a sense in many of the photos made in the South by Northern photographers that what they were capturing was somehow exotic. For Charles, this was home.\" At his very best, Moore invested his pictures with an unsettling intimacy. Whether he was chronicling the overt, graphic suppression of human rights or framing a profoundly human moment -- as in his unforgettable shot of bloodied poet Galway Kinnell in Selma -- Moore's photographs often feel as if he was shooting with Robert Capa's famous dictum ringing in his ears: \"If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough.\" Moore was always, always close enough.

On March 8, 2014, at 1:19 a.m., someone spoke those last words from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 to air traffic controllers before the Boeing 777 vanished. A year later, searchers have no new clues as to where it went with 239 people on board. Radar and satellite reports have provided hints, but searchers still have nothing to hold in their hands. No wreckage seen floating at sea or beached on shore. No fuselage resting on the sea floor. Experts have said the data indicate the flight path from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing unexpectedly veered, putting the commercial jet over the southern Indian Ocean. But the water's vast and intricate depths have revealed no secrets. And as clarity has eluded grasp, analysts have made many speculations about what happened. The most controversial idea: Is the maritime search area all wrong? Did the plane land clandestinely on solid ground? Here are some expert theories about what happened to MH370. Investigators have since cast doubt on some of their details. Who radioed those last words to air traffic control? Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah? First officer Fariq Abdul Hamid? There was much speculation over that, but the Malaysian inspectors in April said it was Zaharie. The pilots were supposed to check in with new air traffic controllers in Vietnam, but never did. One theory is that one pilot may have incapacitated the other, then guided the plane to its end, taking the passengers down with him in a dramatic suicide. Mark Weiss, a retired American Airlines captain, has flown a Boeing 777. He believed shortly after the crash that there may have been a struggle. \"It was one of the pilots that maybe had a meltdown or did something nefarious to the airplane,\" he said. But Malaysia Airlines Chief Executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya has vehemently defended his employees, particularly the pilot. \"We do not suspect any one of our crew until there's such evidence. ... Captain Zaharie is a very capable man,\" he said. \"We have no reason to suspect (him).\" Weiss also thought there could have been another person -- a crew member or someone else -- in the cockpit who \"was bent on perhaps committing suicide or doing some destruction on the aircraft.\" Copilot Hamid, 27, reportedly once invited a woman and her friend into the cockpit on a 2011 flight between Thailand and Malaysia. \"That's an enormous breach of security,\" Weiss said. But investigators punched holes in the idea, saying there was no indication of a third party in the cockpit, CNN reported in April. The difference between hijacking and commandeering is nuanced. The former term is often used when the hijacker issues a demand such as being taken to a safe-haven country or receiving ransom to release passengers. When people commandeer a plane, they might keep the motives secret, said political analyst Peter Bergen. They may want to steer it themselves at a target, like the September 11, 2001, terrorists did.

Other than the extension through 2020, there were no details announced about the contract for Sheindlin, 72, who has been starring on Judge Judy since September 1996. She is reportedly is among the highest-paid personalities on television, earning about $45 million a year under her old contract (and without factoring in earnings from Hot Bench). \"I'm thrilled to be working with my CBS family for five more years and very excited about this new adventure in production,\" said Sheindlin. \"I loved the experience of creating and developing Hot Bench and look forward to replicating its success with more new, compelling and smart TV.\" Said Nunez: \"She is a true television icon who entertains and inspires millions of fans each day on Judge Judy. We look forward to continuing to provide our station partners with her highly successful show and to working with her to create the next generation of hits.\" \"Judge Judy\" is the highest-rated regular series in all of TV syndication, regularly outdrawing such iconic shows as Wheel of Fortune and top-rated talkers like Ellen and Dr. Phil. In its 19th season, Judge Judy is averaging 10.3 million viewers a day. Among court shows, it has been the top program nearly since it went on the air. It now has been No. 1 in the genre for 969 consecutive weeks. \"Judge Judy\" is produced by Big Ticket Pictures, a division of CBS, and is distributed by CBS Television Distribution. Randy Douthit is executive producer and director. Hot Bench was created by Sheindlin and is executive produced by Douthit and Maureen FitzPatrick. It features a panel of three judges -- Patricia DiMango, Tanya Acker and Larry Bakman -- who take viewers behind the scenes to share in their deliberations before a verdict is rendered. Hot Bench also is produced by Big Ticket Pictures and Queen Bee Productions and is distributed by CTD, which distributes 10 five-run shows in syndication. \u00a92015 The Hollywood Reporter.

Now, Tony Terrell Robinson Jr.'s name is written on signs carried by demonstrators who say they're demanding justice after a police shooting ended the unarmed teen's life. As Wisconsin state investigators begin their inquiry into the controversial case, details are emerging about the 19-year-old biracial man. Turin Carter described his nephew as a person who had struggled to fit in. \"A lot of his identity was formed because of his racial ambiguity. ... Terrell felt (like) a misfit most of his life,\" Carter said . At one point, Carter said, his nephew's desire to fit in led him astray. \"Terrell just wanted to be loved, honestly ... and as a result, made some poor decisions, and I think that's something we can all relate to,\" he said. Last year, Robinson found himself in jail after stealing an Xbox and TV during a home invasion. An adviser with the Robinson family attorney told CNN the teen fell on hard times after his dad lost his job and then his apartment, forcing Robinson to live with friends. He pleaded guilty in December to armed robbery and was sentenced to probation. That same month, he wrote a post on Facebook slamming police: \"The only thing cops are trained for is to shoot first and ask questions later.\" Court documents from the case include letters the family wrote, asking the court to show mercy and vowing that the teen would never repeat his mistake. \"Tony has made a grave decision, one which may cost him his freedom, but before a decision is made I want you to know him as his family does.

+{"article": "(CNN)Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson is about to be out of a job. Jackson and city officials in the St. Louis suburb have announced his resignation, effective March 19. It's the latest fallout after a Justice Department investigation slammed his department's tactics. Speculation has swirled for months that Jackson would step down, and critics have pointed to several key points as signs that the police chief was in hot water. Here's a look at some key moments leading up to his resignation: . A police officer shoots and kills Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teen. The incident exposes feelings of distrust between Ferguson's black community and its Police Department, which is overwhelmingly white. Anger begins to simmer on that first day, when Brown's body isn't removed from the street for four hours. Protests erupt. Among demonstrators' demands: that the Police Department release the name of the officer who shot Brown. Jackson reveals the name of the officer who shot Brown, Darren Wilson. On that same day, the department releases surveillance video that he says shows Brown robbing a store. Jackson says he distributed the store videotape \"because the press asked for it,\" noting he couldn't withhold it indefinitely. The chief adds, \"we needed to release that at the same time we needed to release the name of the officer involved in the shooting,\" though he doesn't elaborate on why . Critics accuse him of inflaming tensions rather than getting the situation under control. In a YouTube video, Jackson apologizes to Brown's parents. \"I'm truly sorry for the loss of your son. I'm also sorry that it took so long to remove Michael from the street,\" he said during his video statement. Investigators were doing \"important work\" trying to uncover the truth and collect evidence during those four hours, Jackson said, but \"it was just too long, and I'm truly sorry for that.\" \"Overnight I went from being a small-town police chief to being part of a conversation about racism, equality and the role of policing in that conversation,\" he says in the video. \"As chief of police, I want to be part of that conversation. I also want to be part of the solution.\" That night, he meets with protesters, agreeing to march with them. But even that meeting turns ugly; a scuffle breaks out and arrests are made.

+{"article": "(CNN)This weekend marked the official opening of \"Fish in the Dark,\" the Broadway debut of Larry David of \"Seinfeld\" and \"Curb Your Enthusiasm\" fame. Of course, the odd conventions of live theater mean that \"Fish\" wasn't quite fresh-to-table at its premiere: It's been playing for several weeks now to sold-out preview crowds, to build buzz and iron out production kinks. And sold out really means sold out: The show has destroyed box office records for the vintage Cort Theatre and might yet set new ones for a nonmusical despite its limited run. That's because David has a huge built-in audience for his unique brand of humor, which \"Curb\" fans know to be as abrasive as sea salt and as astringent as lemon, unyielding in the face of social niceties, epic humiliation or even common human decency. It's polarizing, and the poles are pretty clearly drawn: By and large, fans of David's work tend to loudly proclaim that as long as abuse is sprayed pari passu -- e.g., proportionately in all directions -- no one should take offense. The nonfans tend to respond that this kind of comedy rests on an assumption defined by another common Latin phrase, ceteris paribus -- e.g., \"all other things being equal.\" And all other things are never equal in our world, by definition. When a group of affluent white protagonists in an almost exclusively white \"New York\" behave badly toward a handful of cartoonish parodies of working-class ethnic nobodies (a pretty fair synopsis of many \"Seinfeld\" episodes), it's hilarious if you belong to the former category. It's much less so when you belong to the latter. So it's not entirely surprising that some of the whispered early concerns with \"Fish\" related to the character of Fabiana, the Puerto Rican maid of the late patriarch of David's fictional family, the Drexels. Fabiana, played by Rosie Perez, and her son Diego play a pivotal part in the show, which takes place in the immediate wake (er, shiva?) of the passing of the elder Drexel; without spoiling the plot, suffice it to say that it hinges on upstairs-downstairs romantic antics and their inevitable consequences. And yes, some reviewers are using the \"R\"-word in calling out the depiction of Fabiana, eye-rolling over YASHDASM (Yet Another Stereotypical Hispanic Domestic And Single Mom) whose comic function is largely to mispronounce words and make cultural stumbles like bringing cuchifritos to a Jewish memorial service. But the conversation about race and representation isn't, and shouldn't be, absolutist based on content; context is just as important -- perhaps more so. What's the threeway balance of power between the author, the actors and the intended audience? Are a performance's questionable aspects racially exceptionalized? Does the role pivot on the ethnic identity of the characters and performers in a way that prevents them from being seen as more than just the color of their skin and the accent of their speech? And finally, is the vehicle in which it's taking place innovative, eye-opening, horizon-expanding, or does it reduce, repress and restrict?

The Glendale Police Department released dash cam video of the encounter Friday, which contradicted her son's claims. Police released the footage after Henson commented about the alleged profiling in an Uptown Magazine interview published last month. In her interview, the star of the hit television show \"Empire\" said her son, Marcell Johnson, 20, was racially profiled in Glendale and at the University of Southern California, where she accused campus police of stopping him for \"having his hands in his pockets.\" After her son's claim, she vowed to send him to Howard University in Washington instead. \"I'm not paying $50K so I can't sleep at night wondering is this the night my son is getting racially profiled on campus,\" she said. Even the University of Southern California stepped in, with its public safety director, John Thomas, saying he was disturbed by the report of the profiling, and was investigating it further. \"We encourage reporting of allegations of bias and I hope for the opportunity to have a conversation with the young man and his mother,\" Thomas said. But Henson retracted her accusations Friday, and publicly apologized to the Glendale Police Department. \"A mother's job is not easy and neither is a police officer's,\" she said in a post on Instagram. \"Sometimes as humans we overreact without gathering all of the facts. As a mother in this case I overreacted and for that I apologize.

The incident started when a Glendale officer pulled over Johnson in October for failing to yield to a pedestrian at a cross walk. During the traffic stop, Johnson admitted to having marijuana, an infraction and Ritalin without a prescription, a felony, according to Castro. He consented to a search of the vehicle, and officers found marijuana, honey oil (concentrated marijuana), a marijuana grinder and a knife, Castro said. Johnson was not driving while impaired and was only cited for possession of marijuana, he said. \"Misinformation that was reported in the story in Uptown Magazine with Taraji P.

So I think it makes a lot of sense for senior administration officials to, on occasion, consult for him advice.\" Once considered a possible presidential candidate, Petraeus plead guilty to one federal charge of removing and retaining classified information earlier this month as part of a plea deal approved by Attorney General Eric Holder.

+{"article": "Beijing (CNN)Native to a remote region of China, this tiny mammal, known as the Ili pika, doesn't know it's a member of an endangered species -- and neither do most people. Rarer -- and some would argue cuter-- than the panda, there are less than 1,000 of these teddy bear-like creatures living in the Tianshan mountain range in the Xinjiang region of northwestern China, says conservationist Li Weidong. Li discovered the pika, formally known as Ochotona iliensis, in 1983 and named it after his hometown, Ili. Last July, Li spotted and photographed the elusive creature for the first time since the early 1990s. He estimates its numbers have declined by almost 70% since its discovery. \"I discovered the species, and I watched as it became endangered,\" he told CNN. \"If it becomes extinct in front of me, I'll feel so guilty.\" In 2008, the animal was listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but there's no official organization or team dedicated studying or protecting it, according to Li. The mammal, only 20 centimeters long, lives on sloping bare rock faces and feeds on grasses at high elevations. Li says the pika's habitat has been affected by global warming. Due to rising temperatures, glaciers have receded and the altitude of permanent snow has risen in the Tianshan mountains, forcing the pikas to gradually retreat to mountain tops, Li said. Ili pikas were originally found at elevations between 3,200 to 3,400 meters, he said. Now they have retreated to elevations of 4,100 meters. \"They have nowhere else to retreat,\" he added. It's also a solitary animal and is not as vocal as other pika species, so if predators are near, Ili pikas are not able to alert each other, Li said. Disease may also be a factor in its decline. In 1983, when Li first came across the mammal, nobody knew what it was. Two years later, Li found another two and it was declared a new species. In the decade following, Li and his colleagues conducted a number of studies, including a census at 14 different sites. However, in 1992, Li left Ili to work with Xinjiang Academy of Environmental Protection in the regional capital Urumqi. No studies were conducted on Ili pika in the following decade. No one saw the pika, either. In 2002 and 2003, Li, with a team of volunteers, conducted a fresh census. Despite spending 37 days searching the mountains for the pikas on seven separate trips, they came up empty handed. However, by analyzing droppings and snow tracks, Li, along with Arizona State University biologist Andrew Smith, was able to conclude that the Ili pika population had seen a dramatic decline. Together they calculated that there might be 2,000 mature animals, down from 2,900 in the early 1990s. The research, published in 2005, recommended that the animal should be listed as endangered.

A room in a far flung corner of Afghanistan where a serious lecture is happening, to an audience that seems part ideological, part curious; some are just impoverished, hoping for a quick job. At the front of this room stands an Afghan freshly back from fighting in Syria, and intent on recruiting other Afghans to fight alongside him for ISIS. \"Brothers, I am here to tell you\", the recruiter begins, \"about the mujahideen in Syria.\" All faces are hidden in the footage, yet the motivations are clear. This seems to be part of ISIS's first moves into Afghanistan, a bid to bolster their ranks for the fight in Iraq and Syria by vacuuming up disgruntled former Taliban fighters -- or even just students looking for a cause. But it's a troubling move nonetheless. There's no shortage of battle-hardened militants here. And as NATO leaves, the Taliban looks strong if a little fractured -- and the possibility of peace talks ahead with the Afghan government could alienate some of the group's more radical elements.

+{"article": "(CNN)The family of Ashley Summers may have reason to be hopeful again. In May 2013, when police discovered three young women who had been imprisoned inside a nondescript Cleveland home for nearly a decade, Summers' family and law enforcement hoped one of the women would be Ashley, who disappeared in Cleveland around the same time as the other women. But the discovery turned out to be unrelated to Ashley's case and there was no new information about her whereabouts. But nearly eight years since she was last seen or heard from, the family's optimism has been restored by an unlikely discovery her step-grandmother made on the Rhode Island Most Wanted website in January. An ATM surveillance photo -- released by the Warwick, Rhode Island, Police Department in late October -- depicts an unidentified woman with a familiar face, Special Agent Vicki Anderson of the FBI Cleveland Division said. \"This is an incredible lookalike,\" Anderson said of the photo. The resemblance to Ashley, who would now be 21, is \"strikingly similar,\" she added. The woman in the photo, along with an unidentified man she appears with, was being sought by Rhode Island police as a suspect in a string of check and identification thefts in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the FBI said. Ashley's step-grandmother alerted the FBI about the photo, Anderson said. \"There's nothing that tells us that it is her, but there's nothing telling us that it's not her either,\" Anderson said. Still, she considers the surveillance footage to be a breakthrough in the case, given that the FBI has found no legitimate sightings or social media activity by Ashley since she disappeared on July 6, 2007. \"It's the best lead we have,\" Anderson said. \"We've had other supposed lookalikes, but nothing that has looked this similar. We consider this a huge tip for us.\" Because it is not possible to see the license plate of the car the couple was driving, Anderson said the FBI will rely exclusively on help from the public. \"The FBI is utilizing a billboard campaign, social media and any news outlet that will air these photos for us,\" Anderson said. In the 2013 case, two of the missing women had been identified and police said they had disappeared within four years of when Ashley went missing -- and within five blocks of where she was last seen. \"At first, when they said the third girl wasn't identified, I was hoping one would be Ashley,\" Debra Summers, her aunt, told CNN at the time. But the family's nightmare continued. \"There is no new information that's come to light about her: Ashley Summers is an active, open investigation,\" Cleveland Police Deputy Chief Ed Tomba said at the time. \"I can assure you that her disappearance was part of our questioning of the three subjects that we brought in.\"", "summary": "Ashley Summers disappeared on July 6, 2007, when she was 14 .

Asked if Russia was prepared to bring its nuclear weapons into play, Putin said: \"We were ready to do it. I talked with colleagues and told them that this (Crimea) is our historic territory, Russian people live there, they are in danger, we cannot leave them. \"It wasn't us who committed a coup, it was the nationalists and people with extreme beliefs.\" But this was the worst-case scenario, he added, in the documentary broadcast on state-run channel Rossiya One. \"I don't think this was actually anyone's wish -- to turn it into a world conflict.\" It wasn't known when the interview was originally taped. It aired even as speculation mounted about Putin's health, following an absence of several days from the public stage. He reappeared in public Monday. Russia formally annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula last March, after Ukraine's pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted following street protests that turned bloody. Russia called his ouster a coup by radical Ukrainian nationalists. Before Crimea was formally absorbed by Russia, unidentified armed men had taken control of its administrative buildings and key military sites. A referendum was held on March 16, 2014 -- a year ago to the day -- on secession from Ukraine. Ukrainian officials at the time denied there was any threat to Russian citizens in Crimea. On Monday, Russia's Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said Putin had ordered Russia's Northern Fleet and other military units to be placed on full combat alert for snap checks, state media reported. \"The main aim ... is to evaluate the capabilities of the Northern Fleet to fulfill tasks on ensuring Russia's military security in the Arctic,\" Shoigu is quoted as saying by Russia's Tass news agency. The exercise will involve 38,000 military personnel, 41 warships, 15 submarines and 110 planes and helicopters, Shoigu said, according to Tass. In the documentary, titled \"Crimea: Way Back Home,\" Putin said Moscow had had no choice but to act. \"Crimea isn't just any territory for us, it is historically Russian territory,\" he said. Crimea, a Black Sea peninsula that has been part of Ukraine since 1954, has a majority Russian population and strong cultural and historical ties to Russia. It is also home to Russia's Black Sea fleet, at the Sevastopol naval base. But Putin said he had never thought of \"dismembering\" the peninsula from Ukraine until Yanukovych's ouster. \"We cannot leave this area and the people who live there to whims of fate, to let the people of Crimea be thrown under the wheels of this nationalist bulldozer,\" he said. \"I set certain tasks. I did say what and how we should do, but immediately stressed that we would do so only if we are absolutely convinced that the people who live in the Crimea want it.\" The vast majority of people who voted in the referendum approved secession", "summary": "Russian President Vladimir Putin was interviewed for a documentary on Crimea shown on Russian state TV .

+{"article": "(CNN)Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) has taken delivery of the Izumo, the largest Japanese military vessel to see service since World War II. The warship was unveiled at a ceremony at the Yokusuka naval base near Yokohama, also home to the U.S Navy's Seventh Fleet. The Izumo has a crew of 470, and with a standard displacement of 19,500 tones (24,000 tonnes at full load, according to military publication Jane's), it is as large as the storied Yamato-class battleships which fought U.S. naval forces in the Pacific theater of World War II. The wreck of one of the two Yamato-class battleships, the Musashi, was discovered early in March 2015 by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. At 241 meters (791 feet) in length, the Izumo is 51 meters (167 ft) longer than the Hyuga, another helicopter carrier which was, until now, the MDSF's largest vessel. Regional neighbors and rivals questioned the legitimacy of such a ship for purely defensive purposes, pointing out that, due to its size and deck configuration it could be repurposed as an aircraft carrier -- a class banned under Japan's pacifist constitution. \"The Izumo proves that Japan has the technical capabilities and demand to develop aircraft carriers. It's also possible that Japan may explore the possibility during the Izumo's service,\" Li Jie, a Beijing-based military expert, told the Chinese state-backed Global Times newspaper. However, Defense Minister Gen Nakatani told reporters in Yokohama that the MSDF did not intend to use it in this way. \"We are not thinking about using this as an aircraft carrier,\" he said, saying that the lack of hangers and service bays, along with a deck unsuitable for takeoffs and landings, meant that the Izumo wasn't designed for fixed-wing aircraft. He said that it needed to be as large as it is so it could host joint operations and act as a command center. He insisted that the new addition to Japan's maritime forces was designed for peaceful purposes. \"The vessel can serve in a wide range of roles including peacekeeping operations, international disaster relief and aid.\" He added that its helicopter capabilities -- it can host seven anti-submarine patrol helicopters, plus two rescue and transport helicopters, the Japan Times reported -- would aid in the detection of sophisticated Chinese submarines. Japan, along with the Philippines and Vietnam, is engaged in territorial disputes with China over the sovereignty of islands in the South China Sea, and Kazuhisa Ogawa, a defense analyst at the Strategic Research Institute of International Change in Japan, says that, in combination with Japan's other helicopter carriers, the Izumo could be used to \"regain remote islets.\" He also downplayed China's suggestions that the size of the Izumo represented an escalation of Japan's military ambitions, telling CNN that although it is the biggest Japanese military ship since World War II, it is only a fifth of the size of the USS George Washington. \"It would cost five times Japan's current defense spending for the SDF to have an independent operational capability.

The teenagers had return tickets to unnamed \"conflict zones\" in the Middle East, and a luggage search heightened suspicions that they were headed abroad to fight. The boys were later released into the custody of their parents, who were said to have no idea of their intentions. \"These two young men...are kids, not killers,\" Dutton said, who added the matter had been referred to the Australian Federal Police.

Don't even begin to think you can leave Australia,\" he added. Australia estimates there are at least 90 citizens fighting and supporting terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria.

The newspaper reported late Monday on its website that Israel had obtained confidential information about the negotiations to help it argue against a potential deal. \"These allegations are utterly false,\" the senior official in the Israeli Prime Minister's office told CNN. \"The state of Israel does not conduct espionage against the United States or Israel's other allies.\" The Israeli government's use of the information it allegedly gleaned -- sharing it with U.S. lawmakers and others to undercut support for a deal -- was what really angered the White House, the Journal reported Monday, citing current and former U.S. officials. \"It is one thing for the U.S. and Israel to spy on each other. It is another thing for Israel to steal U.S. secrets and play them back to U.S. legislators to undermine U.S. diplomacy,\" a senior U.S. official briefed on the matter said, according to the newspaper. The Israeli espionage efforts included eavesdropping and also acquiring information from confidential U.S. briefings, informants and diplomatic contacts in Europe, the report says. The senior Israeli official told CNN that \"the false allegations are clearly intended to undermine the strong ties between the United States and Israel and the security and intelligence relationship we share.\" That's not to say Israeli officials haven't been asking around about the Iran nuclear talks, as participating parties race to get a framework agreement ahead of a March 31 deadline. Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz and Yossi Cohen, Netanyahu's national security adviser, led an Israeli delegation that met early this week with a negotiating team from France, Israeli Intelligence Ministry spokesman Eyal Basson said. The same Israeli officials left France on Tuesday morning for the United Kingdom to meet with Britain's delegation on the Iran nuclear talks, according to Basson. Both France and Britain are among the Western powers in the P5+1, a group that also includes the United States, Russia, China and Germany, whose representatives have been across the table from Iran. While in Paris, the Israeli delegation did not meet with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, said French Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal. The Israeli officials' apparent aim in France was not to \"influence Paris' position in the negotiations, but to further develop the debate on the Iran nuclear talks,\" according to Nadal. Netanyahu himself has been clear on where he stands on this debate: He told the U.S. Congress earlier this month that a proposed agreement, as he depicted it, was \"a bad deal.\" The Israeli leader predicted that not only would such a deal not stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, it would \"all but guarantee that Iran gets (nuclear) weapons, lots of them.\" \"This deal won't be a farewell to arms; it would be a farewell to arms control,\" Netanyahu said. \"And the Middle East would soon be crisscrossed by nuclear tripwires.\" Iranian officials have said they want a nuclear program for peaceful energy purposes.", "summary": "Israeli intelligence minister met with French delegation, his spokesman says .

The helicopters were reported to be heading to a gorge in northwestern Argentina for the filming of the reality TV show \"Dropped\" for the French broadcaster TF1. Eight French passengers and the choppers' two Argentinian pilots died in the midair crash near the town of Villa Castelli in La Rioja province, Argentina's state news agency Telam reported, citing local authorities. The dead included the famed sailor Florence Arthaud, who in 1990 broke the record for crossing the North Atlantic alone; the swimmer Camille Muffat, who won three medals at the 2012 Olympics in London; and the boxer Alexis Vastine, who won a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Members of the TV production team were among the other French victims, French authorities said. Former French soccer star Sylvain Wiltord, a contestant on the show who wasn't involved in the crash, expressed his shock. \"I'm sad for my friends,\" he tweeted. \"I'm shaking, I'm horrified, I'm lost for words.\" Muffat's boyfriend, William Forgues, told CNN's French affiliate BFMTV of his shock at hearing the news of the 25-year-old swimmer's death. Clearly emotional, he said her agent had called him soon after midnight, herself in tears, to tell him of the crash. Muffat, he said, was known as \"madame 100%\" because she succeeded in so many things. He said she was happy and satisfied to be taking part in the show. \"To be over there was her choice, 100%,\" he said. At the 2012 London Olympics, Muffat won the gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle, silver in the 200-meter freestyle and bronze in the 4\u00d7200-meter freestyle relay. French President Francois Hollande expressed his condolences to the families of the victims in a statement. The sports stars \"made France shine so brightly\" during their careers, the statement said. The crash happened within moments of takeoff in good weather conditions, Telam reported, citing witnesses who spoke to a local radio station. The helicopters, which belonged to local governments in the region, collided about 100 meters (328 feet) above the ground, the news agency said. Police and investigators were at the scene of the crash.

A science graduate from China's elite Tsinghua University, he had been taught to mistrust superstition and religion, but in the culture and devotion of the Buddhists he met he found something worth knowing. Now 25, he is considering giving up his job and becoming a monk. \"It means I will have to give up everything of the ordinary world,\" he told CNN. While Buddhism has a long history in China, entering via missionaries from India during the Han dynasty, it was repressed during the Maoist era -- many monasteries and temples were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and monks actively punished for believing in \"superstition.\" But now, a growing number of Chinese are rediscovering the country's dormant Buddhist traditions. Some, like Zhao, are looking for a spiritual anchor in a competitive, fast-changing society. Others take comfort in meditation and enjoy volunteering. However, it's not always easy to combine Buddhist beliefs with the demands of modern life. Zhao works as an assistant to the boss of an environmental company. His religion means it's difficult to entertain clients and partners -- a key part of the role. \"Not drinking, smoking or eating meat affects my socializing. So the company has to send someone else to go with me, which creates extra expenses,\" he says. Zhao has not told his family about his desire to become a monk yet, fearing that they might oppose it. Fenggang Yang, the director of the Center on Religion and Chinese Society at Purdue University, Indiana, says it's difficult to explain exactly why so many young people are turning to Buddhism. Some discover it at university, where Buddhist groups are active and famous monks and lamas give lectures. Others have devout parents and grandparents. He also says that the Chinese Communist Party policy has \"moved toward treating Buddhism more favorably than other religions.\" Christianity has also been growing in popularity in recent decades but church leaders say there has been a crackdown on Christians, with authorities demolishing churches and removing crosses from skylines. In particular, it's the Tibetan strain of Buddhism, rather than the Chan (also called Zen) tradition once popular in China, that is attracting new converts, particularly students, young professionals and businesspeople, he says. \"It appears that both the chanting and the physical, spiritual practices of Tibetan Buddhism are appealing to some people,\" Yang added. To what extent these new converts are committed to Buddhism as a religion, with its strictures and rituals, is an open question. A former leader of a university Buddhism group, who didn't want to give his name, told CNN he thought its members were more interested in the religion as a lifestyle choice. Activities that his group organized focusing on relaxation and stress relief were always more popular than reading groups and lectures that examined Buddhist scriptures, he added.

This is not the first report to show doctors are sidestepping this tough conversation. But why? That's been studied too, and the reasons doctors give range from diagnostic uncertainty and fear of causing emotional distress to time constraints, lack of support, and stigma. \"There is an element of stigma here towards brain and mental health problems in general,\" said Tariot. \"I would call it professional awkwardness. I can't really help this condition, why invest time and energy talking about it, it makes me squirm.\" \"I think the comparison of Alzheimer's to cancer is appropriate,\" said Dr. Tom Price, Medical Director for Emory University's Geriatric Clinic. \"I give patients a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease many times a week, and every time it is uncomfortable, and I've been doing it for over 10 years.

Smith is the police chief in Sanford, Florida, another community rocked by racial tensions and poor police-community relations after the high-profile shooting of a black teenager -- the 2012 death of Trayvon Martin. And if Smith's experience is any guide, it will take \"a lot of prayer and a little goading\" to convince someone to step into the job vacated this week by Chief Thomas Jackson. \"That community, as we see, has been hurting and struggling for some time now,\" he says. And how: . -- The community remains deeply scarred by the events last year, after the August shooting death of unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown by a white Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson, and the November decision by the St. Louis County Grand Jury not to charge Wilson, who later resigned. Occasionally violent protests and sometimes heavy-handed responses by police deepened divisions and distrust. -- The police department was already groaning under the epic weight of months of nearly constant protest and last week's release of a damning Department of Justice report that found evidence of discriminatory conduct on the part of Ferguson officials. -- Add to that the obvious fears facing officers following the shooting early Thursday of two police officers only hours after Jackson resigned. The decision for Jackson to step aside was a mutual one between the chief and city, Mayor James Knowles told reporters. He'll get severance and a year of health insurance and will turn the reins over to Ferguson police Lt. Col Al Eickhoff next week. The city will launch a nationwide search for a permanent replacement, Knowles said. \"The City of Ferguson looks to become an example of how a community can move forward in the face of adversity. We are committed to keeping our police department and having one that exhibits the highest degree of professionalism and fairness,\" said Knowles -- who has himself been targeted by protesters demanding he resign. To get there, it might look to Sanford for guidance. There, trust in the police department bottomed out in the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin shooting. While no police officers were involved in the shooting, anger over their perceived failure to arrest the teenager's killer, George Zimmerman, pushed relations in the community to a boiling point, eventually resulting in the firing of Chief Bill Lee. Zimmerman eventually was arrested, and a jury acquitted him. Smith watched the chaos play out from Elgin, Illinois, where he was deputy police chief.

Yemen, a longtime stronghold for one of al Qaeda's most dangerous branches, has been plunged into chaos since the Houthi rebels began seizing control of the capital and other areas of the country in recent months. The unrest has led to the withdrawal of U.S. special forces from Yemen, seriously undermining counterterrorism efforts there. How did Yemen get to this place? \"We are determined to protect the legitimate government of Yemen,\" al-Jubeir said. \"Having Yemen fail cannot be option for us or for our coalition partners.\" A leading member of the Houthis' political wing, Ansar Allah, said force will be met with force. \"This is a clear aggression and we will respond by a counteraggression,\" Ali Al Imad told CNN Arabic. \"The Saudi move will unite all the people of Yemen against the Saudis and the kingdom will pay the price.\" If the Saudis try to invade with ground troops, he said, they will fail. \"They probably will try to avoid that, but If it happened then they will pay a very high price,\" Imad said. The Saudi airstrikes appear to be targeting military compounds, headquarters and weapons storage areas. Journalist Hakim Almasmari, who is staying in the capital of Sanaa, said hundreds of explosions have caused residents to stay in their homes. \"I do expect the Sanaa of a couple of hours ago to be a different Sanaa in the morning,\" he said. A senior Arab diplomat told CNN that the Gulf Cooperation Council soon will issue a statement that the Yemenis have asked for military assistance and the GCC is prepared to step in. It will be signed by all GCC countries except for Oman. Not all countries will contribute military forces, the source said. Arab and senior administration officials from the United States told CNN that an interagency U.S. coordination team is in Saudi Arabia. The sources said the Saudis have not specified what they want yet, but will likely ask for American air support, satellite imagery, and other intelligence. \"We can help with logistics and intelligence and things like that, but there will be no military intervention by the U.S.,\" a senior administration official said. Al-Jubeir said the United States is not involved in the airstrikes against the Houthis, who are Shiites in a majority Sunni nation. But the coalition includes more than 10 nations, he said, meaning more than the six GCC countries will be involved. Yemen, which has been in turmoil for months, shares a border with southern Saudi Arabia. \"We hope that the wisdom will prevail among the Houthis and they will become part of the political process rather than continue radical approach to try to take over Yemen and destroy it,\" Al-Jubeir said.

The incident early Wednesday involved uniformed alcohol control agents and Martese Johnson, an African-American student at UVA. It made headlines around the country and prompted Gov. Terry McAuliffe to order an independent Virginia State Police investigation into what happened. The on-campus forum is scheduled for 1 p.m. Friday. In a Facebook post, the university's Student Council said representatives from Charlottesville, Virginia, police, Albemarle County police and the state Alcohol Beverage Control were to attend the forum \"to engage in a conversation about their relationship with students, or lack thereof, and about the issue of police brutality.\" Johnson's arrest prompted protests among students demanding \"Justice for Martese\" after images circulated showing his bloodied face and clothing. While what happened Wednesday remains under investigation, video from the incident shows Johnson pinned to the ground, screaming: \"I go to UVA! ... You f****** racists! What the f***? How did this happen?\" An officer can be heard telling the man to stop fighting. According to the student's attorney, Daniel Watkins, \"just before handcuffing him, police took Martese to the ground, striking his head on the pavement and causing him to bleed profusely from the gash on his head.\" He needed 10 stitches to close the gash in his head, Watkins said. Johnson was charged with public intoxication and obstruction of justice, according to the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which acknowledged he suffered injuries during his arrest. The agents were placed on administrative duties during the investigation, the agency said. The Black Student Alliance said the arrest reminds black UVA students \"of the gruesome reality that we are not immune to injustice.\" In a news release, the university called the arrest disturbing, and University President Teresa Sullivan issued a statement saying that \"every member of our community should feel safe from the threat of bodily harm and other forms of violence.\" Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring appealed for patience. \"Certainly the images that we've all been looking at in Charlottesville are shocking, but it's really important that we get the facts out and understand exactly what happened,\" Johnson said. Friday's forum will be held at a theater on the UVA campus. The Student Council said media would not be allowed to ask questions or bring cameras into the forum but said the event would be live-streamed on the Internet. \"This is a student space -- a chance for students to ask the questions they feel are most pressing to Virginia's most senior law enforcement officials,\" the group said on Facebook. Students leaders asked their contemporaries to tweet questions in advance. As of midmorning Friday, only a handful of tweets had crossed using the proposed hashtag \"#policedialogue.\" \"Is the problematic influence of implicit bias discussed at all during police training,\" Twitter user yaejmeister asked. Among other questions, one student asked why alcohol control agents have police powers.

+{"article": "(CNN)Gold bars. Each weighed between 25 and 27 pounds, together about 275 pounds. The bars' total weight in gold is worth about $4.8 million. That much adds up. But what about the story of how they got swiped on Sunday from a truck alongside Interstate 95 in North Carolina? Investigators are trying to figure that out, including how two armed security guards could have been so quickly pounced upon, bound and then robbed so soon after pulling over in Wilson County, as they've told authorities. \"There's suspicion about everything going on in this case,\" Wilson County Sheriff Calvin Woodard Jr. said Wednesday in a news conference about the case. He also released composite sketches of two of the three suspects, one of whom he described as a heavyset Hispanic male with a Cuban accent and the other as a dark-skinned Hispanic male with a white mustache and goatee who was dressed in black. He showed reporters a photo of the white van they allegedly got away in, as well as an image of the traffic cones they used -- which came from a Florida company that doesn't do business in North Carolina. What he couldn't say definitively was whether these men had some help. There are a lot of questions, in fact, that can't be answered. Authorities say the initial statements from the two guards who work for TransValue Inc., a Florida-based company that transports valuables, were a bit confusing due to the guards' spotty English, though Woodward said police now have a clearer picture after bringing in Spanish-speakers to translate. These two men, both of whom have worked for TransValue for several years, set off early Sunday morning from Miami with a truck full of gold protected by a padlock and presumably their firearms. They were headed for Bridgewater, Massachusetts, \"to a place ... where they handled such things,\" Woodard explained. They stopped to get gas in Dillon, South Carolina, then hit the interstate once again. The guards later told police they smelled gas, with one of them getting sick. So they pulled over. That leads to the first big question about the men's story: Did something happen to their vehicle to cause the gas smell? Not according to a Wilson County mechanic, who \"did not determine any type of issues\" with the truck, according to Woodard. So the sicker guard gets out of the vehicle. He says he's quickly met by two suspects, who yell out, \"Policia, policia.\" They ask him to go to the ground then tie him up with three zip ties, according to Woodard. After this, the other guard gets out of the vehicle. He encounters the same men -- one of them wearing a red traffic vest -- who repeat that they are police. He says that he, too, eventually gets to the ground and is bound with duck tape. But weren't these armed guards? Yes and no. Neither man had a gun on them when they exited their vehicle, violating their company's protocol, the sheriff said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in cities across Brazil this weekend, incensed by serious economic woes and a massive scandal involving the country's oil company. The demonstrators have called for President Dilma Rousseff to be impeached. CNN correspondent Shasta Darlington, who lives in Sao Paulo, explains who the demonstrators are, why they're mad and what could be in store for the President and the country. What do the protesters want? They're angry about the country's economy being in shambles at a time when political corruption at the highest levels of government is alleged. If it were just one of those things, maybe we wouldn't be seeing this kind of turnout because Brazilians have lived with corruption for decades and the economy was not doing well before the presidential election in October. But it's all come to a head. Political corruption -- let's break that down. What's the scandal about? Petrobras is the national oil company. It's one of the most powerful, richest companies in the country -- and has been counted among the largest in the world. It was very respected. People invested in it. Rousseff, who won election in October by a slim margin, was -- before becoming President -- the chairwoman of Petrobras' board of directors. She was chairwoman during much of the time that former oil company executives have told investigators that bribes were paid to Petrabras executives and politicians in order to secure contracts from Petrobras. In early March, the country's highest court authorized the investigation which involves about 40 politicians, many of them from the President's ruling Workers' Party and the speakers of the House and Senate. But Rousseff hasn't been accused of anything, right? Right. She's not being investigated. Protesters' call for impeachment -- the formal process of accusing, because she's not been accused of anything -- looks very unlikely. But, the public perception is that even if she didn't personally profit for this scheme, she was still the chairwoman at a time when it was supposedly happening and she should be held accountable. Has she responded to the protesters? She has. What she says is that she will not stand for corruption and she's rooting it out. As proof, she contends, she's given her attorney general free rein to investigate who is stealing from the state oil company. It's important to know that the Petrobras scandal has been known publicly for at least a year and during Rousseff's election campaign, she said over and over that she would root out corruption. It's also interesting that she isn't lashing out at protesters. She is saying she won't put up with violence -- and so far the protests haven't gotten violent. But she says that Brazil is a democratic country and people have the right to protest. She comes from a left-wing background so that approach is fitting. You brought up that she is from the left-wing Workers' Party. How is that significant? The protests were mostly organized by the right-wing party that opposes Rousseff...organized by people who didn't vote for her.

+{"article": "(CNN)The director of \"Midnight Rider\" has pleaded guilty to charges related to the 2014 death of a crew member while filming. Randall Miller pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespass Monday morning in Wayne County (Georgia) Superior Court, Deputy Clerk of Courts Betty Taylor said. The National Transportation Safety Board announced on March 24 the probable cause of the accident was trespassing by the film's crew. As part of the plea deal, Miller will spend two years behind bars and then serve eight years of probation. The deal prohibits him from directing films or being in any supervisory position in movies that would make him responsible for the safety of others for a period of 10 years. Miller, who was also ordered to pay $20,000 in fines and perform 360 hours of community service, was remanded in to custody of the sheriff to begin his sentence. A freight train hit members of the crew of the Gregg Allman biopic while they were working on a railroad bridge in February 2014. Camera assistant Sarah Elizabeth Jones, 27, was killed. The production had applied to the railroad company for permission to film on the bridge but was denied, according to the Savannah Morning News. Several other crew members were injured in the incident, CNN affiliate WTOC reported. 'Midnight Rider' pair surrender to authorities . Jones was mourned throughout the film community. Friends set up a Facebook group, Slates for Sarah, and her death was noted in the Academy Awards' \"In Memoriam\" montage. Three additional members of the production staff faced charges related to the incident. As part of the plea agreement with Miller, charges were dropped against Jody Savin, Miller's wife and business partner, Taylor said. Miller and Savin are listed as owners of Unclaimed Fright Productions Inc., the film's production company, according to the indictment.

Her husband, former president Laurent Gbagbo, is in the custody of the Hague-based International Criminal Court awaiting trial over similar charges. The charges stem from the aftermath of Gbagbo's husband's election defeat in 2010. Laurent Gbagbo, then the incumbent president, refused to step down after Alassane Ouattara was declared the winner of the election. The standoff sparked months of violence between supporters of the two sides, leaving thousands dead. In 2012, the ICC issued a warrant against her, alleging that as a member of the president's inner circle, his wife was an \"indirect co-perpetrator.\" She attended meetings where plans were discussed and carried out to persecute Ouattara supporters, according to the warrant. Her husband surrendered to the ICC in December of that year, and is currently awaiting trial at The Hague on crimes against humanity for the civil unrest and deaths. Both have denied the charges.

+{"article": "Yaounde, Cameroon (CNN)Cameroon's security forces are predicting a drawn-out battle with Boko Haram as evidence filters out that the insurgents are now recruiting there. \"We don't doubt that Boko Haram is recruiting in Cameroon,\" said Col. Joseph Nouma, commander of Operation ALPHA, a special military operation set up by Cameroon's government to fight the Nigerian terrorist group. He says communities bordering Nigeria have been emptied of men between the ages of 10 and 45. \"Many of them are found across the border in Nigeria, training with the terrorists,\" he told CNN. This has made it difficult for the country's defense forces to adequately estimate the power of the terrorist group. Nouma said the number of militants may be greater than is widely believed, though there is no reliable estimate of the group's strength. \"Boko Haram is a permanent metamorphosis, dying every day but recruiting every day as well,\" says Col. Jacob Kodji, interim commander of the 4th Military Region. \"And this complicates a lot of things for us.\" Nouma agreed: \"We kill them, but they keep on coming.\" Boko Haram is a Nigerian-based Islamic group whose purpose is to institute Sharia, or Islamic law. They have carried out a campaign of terror in northern Nigeria, killing thousands, taking hundreds captive, and occupying swaths of territory in Borno state. As many as 200,000 Nigerians have fled to neighboring countries, creating an urgent humanitarian situation, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees reported last month. For the past two years, Boko Haram fighters have been carrying out cross-border raids on Cameroon, slaughtering hundreds and torching entire neighborhoods. But as the country's defense forces -- later joined by battle-hardened Chadian troops -- turned up the momentum against the insurgents, the terrorists began to swell their ranks with Cameroonians. Nouma said he believes \"most of the worst attacks we have suffered\" were carried out by Cameroonians fighting for Boko Haram. Also, the militants' ability to hit several different places at once, and with precision, suggests that \"there are people over here giving them information,\" Nouma said. In January, Boko Haram struck Fotokol, a Cameroonian town separated by only a bridge from Gambarou, Nigeria, a stronghold of the Islamist extremists. The attackers killed more than 400 people. Cameroonian and Chadian soldiers stationed there managed to kill 150 invaders. Among them was the son of Ahmadou Moustafa, a Fotokol resident. For two months, Moustafa didn't know the whereabouts of his son, Akim, or what he was doing. He didn't find out until the aftermath of the fighting, when locals removed the veil on one of the dead attackers to reveal his 15-year-old boy's face. \"I was really shocked and embarrassed at the development,\" Moustafa said. While it's difficult to fathom the appeal of extreme, violent doctrine among young Cameroonians, ambient poverty and chronic unemployment in the Far North region may explain why some there are lured to Boko Haram pay.

+{"article": "(CNN)An Israeli Arab man who is shown being shot by a child in a recent ISIS video has no connections to Israeli intelligence, the country's defense minister said Wednesday. In the video released Tuesday, ISIS claims the man, 19-year-old Mohamed Said Ismail Musallam, is an Israeli spy. But Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon denied the allegation on Israeli radio. The ISIS video shows Musallam's Israeli passport and claims he's an agent sent to infiltrate the group. Musallam's family on Tuesday told CNN that he had no ties with the Mossad, Israel's spy agency, and had, in fact, been recruited by ISIS. Musallam is an Israeli citizen of Palestinian descent. \"Mohamed told me and his brother that ISIS took him,\" according to Said Musallam, his father. \"They sent him money through the Western Union. They said you will have girls, money, cars, villas, paradise, but afterwords he discovered that there is nothing.\" It wasn't long before Musallam's family members didn't recognize him when they talked to him on Skype. The man they knew as a kind and funny brother and son who was once a volunteer firefighter had grown a long beard and was carrying a rifle. His father tried to help him get home, sending him money and even enlisting the Red Cross. But his son never made it back to Israel. About a month ago, Said Musallam said, he was told his son was taken by ISIS when he was on his way back and trying to cross the border. A video posted Tuesday on ISIS-affiliated social media accounts shows a man who appears to be Musallam on his knees, wearing an orange jumpsuit. An adult ISIS fighter and a child -- both in fatigues -- stand behind him. The adult, speaking French, gives a command to the child to go forward with the killing. The child steps in front of the man and raises what appears to be a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and shoots Musallam in the forehead. The man immediately falls forward to the ground. The child appears to then fire at least two more shots into the body. An issue last month of ISIS' English-language propaganda magazine, Dabiq, included a purported interview with Musallam and described his alleged work for the Israeli spy agency. In the ISIS video, Musallam seems to be reading what appears to be a prepared confession, saying he is an Israeli intelligence agent working for Mossad, sent to infiltrate ISIS. Musallam's family members said they believe he was coerced in the video, forced to lie about ties to Israeli intelligence. \"Mohamed is not an agent. Mohamed doesn't have a shekel. If he was an agent he would have lived a beautiful life,\" his mother, Hind Musallam, said. \"We could have been living a different life and I would not be working cleaning houses so we can live.\" This isn't the first time ISIS has used children to drive home its message.

+{"article": "(CNN)Is Philae still alive? The answer to this particular cosmic cliff-hanger was left unresolved towards the end of last year. The tiny space probe bounced across the surface of Comet 67P before touching down away from its intended landing zone. It returned plenty of data from the surface but ended up in a shady spot where there wasn't enough sunlight to keep it powered -- so then it went to sleep and nothing has been heard since November. In the months since, mission scientists have not been able to pinpoint its exact resting place. But now the comet-chasing mother ship Rosetta -- in orbit around 67P -- is to begin listening for signs that the lander has survived the cold and dark. Scientists at the European Space Agency (ESA), which is leading a consortium that includes NASA to find out more about the composition of comets and how they interact with the Sun, believe that if enough sunlight falls on Philae's solar panels it could revive. As the comet gets closer to the Sun and more light illuminates the lander, the chances improve. Lander system engineer Laurence O'Rourke told CNN that Philae needs 5.5 watts of power to reboot itself, nine watts to switch on the receiver to accept communications and 19 watts to activate its transmitter and allow two-way communication with the orbiter. Modern energy-saving domestic light bulbs consume 20 watts or lower so it doesn't need much to re-establish contact. On Tuesday, @ESA_Rosetta tweeted: \"Excited! I have some opportunities to listen for @philae2014 to find out if he's awake!\" Rosetta and Philae's love affair on Twitter . On the Rosetta mission blog, lander project manager Stephan Ulamec says: \"It will probably still be too cold for the lander to wake up, but it is worth trying. The prospects will improve with each passing day.\" The mission website adds that Philae could already have woken up but does not yet have sufficient power to communicate with Rosetta. It says Rosetta will transmit to Philae between March 12 and March 20, listening for a response. Problems began for the lander when devices designed to anchor Philae to the surface failed. The gravity is so weak that without the harpoons intended to fire from the feet, the probe bounced across the comet. However, the mishap could prove to be a happy accident. O'Rourke explained that as the comet nears the Sun, Philae's original landing spot would have exposed it to temperatures that would have burned out its electronics. In that position it most likely would have died by now. From lander pictures, mission controllers think Philae, which is about the size of a washing machine, is tucked up underneath a cliff face, affording it some shade. Beginning Thursday, mission controllers will send what O'Rourke described as \"blind commands\" to Philae in the hope that the lander has enough power to receive instructions even if it can't respond. Philae will be told to save power for the transmitter. O'Rourke admits that it's a \"long shot\" but the team will try again in April if", "summary": "Rosetta is to begin listening for signs that the lander has survived the cold and dark .

+{"article": "(CNN)German investigators found antidepressants in the apartment of Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz this week, according to published reports. Die Welt, a German newspaper, cited an unidentified senior investigator who said Lubitz suffered from a severe \"psychosomatic illness\" and German police seized prescription drugs that treat the condition. Lubitz suffered from a \"severe subjective burnout syndrome\" and from severe depression, the source told Die Welt. The New York Times also reported that antidepressants were found during the search of his apartment. CNN has not been able to confirm the reports. Investigators continued to work Saturday to piece together the secret life of Lubitz, who officials say was hiding an illness from his employers. He had been declared \"unfit to work\" by a doctor. They were expected to question his relatives, friends and co-workers as they try to pin down what could have prompted the seemingly competent and stable co-pilot to steer a jetliner into a mountainside on Tuesday. As their efforts continued, dozens of people attended a remembrance ceremony for the victims of the crash at a church in a nearby town, Digne-les-Bains. There were 150 people on board Germanwings Flight 9525, including Lubitz. Relatives of the victims and local residents also gathered Saturday afternoon by a simple stone memorial set up near the crash site, in the village of Le Vernet. Flowers have been laid there, in the shadow of the snow-covered peaks of the French Alps. Much attention has focused on Lubitz's state of mind, with some media reports speculating that he may have had mental health issues. Investigators found a letter in the waste bin of his Dusseldorf, Germany, apartment saying that Lubitz, 27, wasn't fit to do his job, city prosecutor Christoph Kumpa said Friday. The note, Kumpa said, had been \"slashed.\" Just what was ailing Lubitz hasn't been revealed. The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that Lubitz suffered from mental illness and kept his diagnosis concealed from his employer. A subsequent New York Times report on Saturday, citing two officials with knowledge of the investigation, said Lubitz sought treatment before the crash for vision problems that might have put his career at risk. According to those unnamed officials, Lubitz also was being treated for psychological issues. Other media reports indicate he was treated for depression. Lubitz passed his annual pilot recertification medical examination in summer 2014, a German aviation source told CNN. An official with Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, said the exam only tests physical health, not psychological health, and that if Lubitz had vision problems that would have been discovered during the tests. \"We can't believe it. If anything was wrong with his eyes during the physical exam we would have known,\" the official says. The Lufthansa official also said the company was never given any indication Lubitz was depressed, and that if he went to a doctor on his own he would have been required to self-report if he had been deemed unfit to fly.

The almost two-hour documentary on air pollution in China produced by a famous TV journalist has quickly gone viral since its online release Saturday, clocking millions of views on various video sites and stirring ferocious debates across Chinese cyberspace. The air pollution that's choking Asia . Here are five things to know to put the phenomenon in context: . The slickly produced video shows journalist Chai Jing presenting a comprehensive slide show, intercutting with fast-paced footage of her travels across China and the rest of world, to find answers to three questions: What is smog, where does it come from and what can be done to tackle it? As shocking levels of air pollution continue to choke much of China regularly, the video has struck such a chord with the audience that, in two short days, it's easily attracted over 100 million views -- a hugely impressive number even in the world's most populous nation. Many Internet users have compared it to \"An Inconvenient Truth,\" the Oscar-winning documentary on former U.S. Vice President Al Gore's effort to raise awareness on the dangers of global warming. Chai, 39, was already a household name before last weekend thanks to her career at China Central Television, the state-run national broadcaster. As a long-time CCTV anchor and investigative reporter, Chai stood out from her peers by covering sensitive topics -- ranging from the environment to homosexuality -- in a country where many journalists at state media stay away from such potential landmines. Her choice of stories and style of reporting -- calm but tenacious -- have earned her legions of fans nationwide -- with some nicknaming her \"the Goddess\" for her elegance and intelligence on air. Plenty of detractors, however, consider her a leading elitist voice for the country's liberal intellectuals. After writing a best-selling autobiography chronicling her time at CCTV, Chai quit her job last year to take care of her daughter, who had been born with a tumor. Declaring a personal war against smog as a worried mother, Chai tries to dig deep in her self-funded documentary. With her former CCTV connections opening doors, she followed and interviewed top environmental and energy officials and experts in China -- and received surprisingly candid responses. While there is no obvious hero in the video, the villain seems to be clear. A former chief engineer of the state-owned oil conglomerate Sinopec brushes off Chai's suggestion that his powerful industry -- which oversees pollution standards for itself and has rendered environmental authorities toothless -- should become more socially responsible. Tracing the main source of tiny and dangerous pollutants in China to extremely inefficient energy exploration and use, Chai sees the solution in dismantling entrenched interests of the state energy sector -- and also appeals to the public for less reliance on cars and more proactive reporting of polluters.

+{"article": "(CNN)In Washington, we are seeing the re-emergence this year of a phenomenon that many Americans were afraid had gone extinct: real live no-joke bipartisanship. Heavyweights from both parties are attending the March 26 Bipartisan Summit on Criminal Justice Reform. The event is co-produced by Gingrich Productions (on the right) and by my project, #cut50 -- an initiative that aims to safely halve the number of people behind bars within 10 years. Attorney General Eric Holder will be speaking. So will Newt Gingrich, the Republican former House speaker. Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, will be there. So will Democratic strategist and CNN commentator Donna Brazile, a co-host of the summit. Republican power players like former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, will address the gathering by video. So will President Obama. Progressives like myself will rub shoulders with representatives from Koch Industries. Everyone keeps asking me, \"How is this possible?\" I have five words for you: \"Liberty and justice for all.\" The ever-expanding incarceration industry has begun to violate some of the deepest and most sacred principles of BOTH major political parties. Therefore, conservatives, libertarians and liberals have their own objective interests in reform -- and their own values-based incentives to make real changes. For example, the right takes very seriously the concept of \"liberty.\" Conservatives and libertarians want to defend the rights of every individual to pursue his or her dreams. They favor limited government. They hate massive, failed, bloated government bureaucracies that suck up more and more money and get more and more power, no matter how badly they perform. In America today, we have 5% of the world's population -- but we have nearly 25% of the world's incarcerated people. Nearly 1 in 100 American adults is behind bars. One out of every four people locked up anywhere in the world is caged in America's prisons and jails. And most people come out more damaged, more hopeless and less able to thrive than when they went in. (So much for \"corrections\"!) That's the opposite of limited government -- and liberty. On the other hand, progressives like me care passionately about the \"justice for all\" part -- including racial justice and social justice. We are incensed by a system that locks up the poor and racial minorities in numbers that are massive -- and massively disproportionate. We oppose a system that forever tars people as \"felons,\" deemed permanently unfit for employment or the right to vote, possibly because of one mistake, early in life. When any system violates the principles of both \"liberty\" AND \"justice,\" Americans of all stripes should stand together to change it. That is exactly what is starting to happen. This year, we are seeing the birth of an honest-to-goodness \"Liberty and Justice for All\" coalition. Still struggling to believe me?

According to Robertson, Arthaud had inspired a generation of French sailors. \"Brave and brilliant, nothing was impossible,\" added Robertson of Arthaud. \"A true role model to the yachtswomen who would follow, she led the way. \"Her sense of adventure continued and she was well known for her TV documentaries bringing the power and passion of the sea into the living rooms of her adoring public.

Despite being left in a coma after a car accident at the age of 17, Arthaud crossed the Atlantic for the first time when she was 19, going on to win a number of races including the 1997 Transpacific race that traverses the Pacific Ocean. The boat that she had sailed to win the Route du Rhum -- Pierre 1er -- also helped her establish a women's singlehanded west to east transatlantic record, as Arthaud notched a time of nine days 22 hours and five minutes. \"Her death has moved the French sailing world,\" added the French Sailing Federation. \"All our thoughts are with her family and her loved ones.\" Boxer Vastine, 28, and swimmer Camille Muffat, 25, were also killed in the crash.

America needs to realize that instead of creating jobs, Silicon Valley is erasing them, leaving millennials financially stranded before their careers can get off the ground. Silicon Valley is tossing millennials aside like yesterday's laptop. The commonly held belief is that with hard work and a good education, a young person in America can get a good job. But despite falling unemployment, college grads age 22 to 27 are stuck in low-paying jobs that don't even require a college degree. The percentage of young people languishing in low-skill, low-paying jobs is 44%, a 20-year high. Only 36% of college grads have jobs that pay at least $45,000, a sharp decline from the 1990s, after adjusting for inflation. Perhaps most depressingly, the percentage of young people making below $25,000 has topped 20%, worse than in 1990. In other words, those with a bachelor's diploma were better off before the digital revolution. If this comes as a surprise, that's because images from popular culture push the idea that young college graduates are shrugging off bad employment prospects with their do-it-yourself attitude. In our collective imagination, millennials are saying, \"No jobs? That's OK \u2014 I'll create my own!\" And then they solve their own problems by heading to Silicon Valley with little more than an iPhone and an idea to create the next hip app that supposedly will turn them into overnight millionaires. A fictional example of this new breed of young idealistic entrepreneur would be Mike Bean, founder of Internet behemoth Gryzzl on the show \"Parks and Recreation.\" Played by Blake Anderson, Bean might best be described as \"barefoot and pregnant with ideas.\" The bumbling entrepreneur conquers the world practically by accident, armed only with his digital savvy, a can-do spirit, and a penchant for invading users' privacy. You get the idea that his success came easily. Privacy concerns aside, the Mike Beans of America are just about as rare as the Mark Zuckerbergs. In fact, the percentage of people under 30 who own private businesses has reached a 24-year low. Garages across the country are not exactly humming with millennials launching tech startups. But wait \u2014 won't the digital economy eventually lead to better jobs? After a period of adjustment, won't things get better? Unfortunately that's not the path we're on. One of the biggest misconceptions about the digital economy is that for every middle-class job rendered obsolete by technology, there's a new, equally good (or better) job created by Silicon Valley. But exactly the opposite is happening. The digital economy is vaporizing the good jobs and replacing them with two kinds of jobs: minimum wage jobs (think Amazon warehouse employees) and so-called \"sharing-economy jobs\" (think Uber drivers). The sharing-economy jobs are even worse than minimum wage jobs because they offer no stability or protections for workers. Sharing economy jobs aren't really jobs at all; they're freelance gigs.

Channels 10 and 1 show the two tied with 27 seats each. The incumbent claimed victory ahead of a final count. \"Against all odds, we achieved this huge victory,\" Netanyahu told his cheering supporters. \"Now we should form a strong and stable government that will be able to take care of the security, safety and welfare of each and every citizen of Israel.\" The Zionist Union responded by saying in a statement that the Likud party \"keeps misleading.\" \"The rightist bloc has shrunk.

He seems to have energized that right-wing base and now he is neck-and-neck with Isaac Herzog, even inching a little bit ahead of him,\" she said. \"We'll have to see who's able to form the coalition with the other parties, but it does look as if Prime Minister Netanyahu has fought his way back and has a very good chance of forming this government.\" Before polls closed Tuesday, Netanyahu released a video on his Facebook page urging his supporters to vote, suggesting that leftists are bringing \"huge amounts\" of Israel's Arab citizens to the polls to vote against his Likud party. \"The right regime is in danger, the Arab voters are coming in huge amounts to the polls,\" Netanyahu said. \"The leftists are bringing them (Arabs) in huge amounts to polls using buses. ...

Of course, it's easier for a man not to worry \"if he gets his piece\" since there are plenty of pieces of pie available for men in terms of management positions in corporate America, but that isn't the case for women.

The claim, issued on a Twitter account associated with the Anbar provincial division of ISIS, was accompanied by a series of 20 images, including a photo of a young man who looked like Bilardi.

Victoria police said Bilardi first came to their attention when his family reported him missing last year.

So it's no surprise that the Republican governor and other powerful voices in state agribusiness are vocal backers of the Renewable Fuel Standard, a federal rule that requires gasoline to be comprised of up to 10% in renewable fuels. One of those is ethanol -- with corn often a key ingredient. \"Don't mess with the RFS,\" Gov. Terry Branstad said Saturday, offering a not so subtle warning as he kicked off a daylong agriculture summit that featured a string of likely Republican presidential candidates. The RFS is a major issue that White House hopefuls are forced to address whenever they visit the No. 1 corn-producing state that also goes first in the presidential nominating calendar. But it's a less popular policy for small government conservatives, who decry the mandate as federal overreach in the private sector. In his first 2016 visit to Iowa, Jeb Bush sought to delicately explain his desire to see the RFS disappear over time. \"The market's ultimately going to have to decide this,\" he told the audience at the event, which took place at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Bush acknowledged that the mandate, which passed in 2007, has helped lower dependence on foreign oil and boost corn-heavy economies. \"But as we move forward over the long haul, there should be certainty for people to invest,\" he argued, saying ethanol will no longer need help from the government. \"So at some point we'll see a reduction of the RFS need, because ethanol will be such a valuable part of the energy feedstock for our country.\" He declined, however, to suggest when exactly that may happen. In his remarks, Bush also defended his position in favor of legal status for undocumented immigrants after they meet a wide set of requirements.

+{"article": "(CNN)Football is the most widely played sport among French youths. Yet, it struggles to attract and retain girls. How can football serve as a tool of socialization when it remains the domain of young boys and men? Algeria coach Christian Gourcuff, who has a coached a number of Ligue 1 clubs, notes that for a long time, women's football \"was a sport totally marginalized.\" Stereotypes abounded that the sport was too rough, too masculine for girls to play. They were much more likely to compete in basketball, ride horseback, or dance, such as Ma\u00efmouna Coulibaly, whose dance company, Les Ambianceuses, is internationally recognized (though overshadowed by her brother, Amedy Coulibaly, the kosher supermarket shooter in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo massacre). But change is afoot. Since the late 1980s, the French Football Federation (FFF) has promoted the sport to women and girls. \"Over the past 10 years, there has been a considerable development of the women's game,\" said Gourcuff. Former player and ex-Paris Saint-Germain official Jean-Michel Moutier concurred. Over the past decade \"girls have significantly increased the level of play,\" he said. \"I am agreeably surprised by the quality of certain female football matches.\" The sport's increased television presence helps significantly, especially broadcasts of the women's World Cup. \"That has changed a bit the image of women's football,\" Gourcuff said, \"notably among young girls.\" Farid El Alagui, who now plays for Scottish club Hibernian, noticed a dramatic difference in how women's football is perceived back home. \"If you look at the French national team,\" he said, \"they've been really good.\" Les Bleues are presently third in FIFA's world ranking and hopes are high for their success at the women's World Cup in Canada between June 6 and July 5. The professional women's league is also responsible for encouraging more girls to play. \"There are big clubs like Paris Saint-Germain,\" El Alagui said, \"who are very good and the level of play is quite high.\" Such examples foster confidence to try to the sport. \"I think a lot of girls want to play football,\" he said. \"They're just scared.\" However, enrollment statistics paint a less exuberant portrait. At ASVCM only seven out of 345 players in the club's football school are girls, and two more play with the club's youth teams in competitions. Such statistics are mirrored nationally. During the 2013-14 season, there were 50,516 licensed girls in the Under-6 to Under-20 demographic, as compared to 997,511 for boys of the same age. While few in number, the young girls at ASVCM -- a local sports club based in a town 12 kilometers south of Paris -- are welcomed and respected, observed Catherine Ledem\u00e9, who has volunteered with the club for more than a decade. \"They are often the 'mascots' of the team,\" she said. Moreover, they excel on the field. The football section's president Marc Girard proudly boasted that two of ASVCM's young players are in formation with PSG's women's team. For Ledem\u00e9, who week-in and week-out ensures the club's conviviality, \"football has strong social values.\" She supports girls playing football,", "summary": "French women's football has long been marginalized, stereotyped as a sport that is too rough and masculine for girls to play .

And yet for so many Americans, the promise of America seems more and more distant.\" Cruz drew on the past only to focus on the future, repeatedly and emphatically asking the Liberty University student audience to \"imagine\" the U.S. under conservative leadership -- laying out his vision for the country and a Cruz presidency. The senator from Texas, who burst into the national limelight with his staunch opposition to Obamacare and his willingness to shut down the federal government, presents a direct challenge to the expected bids of establishment Republicans such as Florida Gov. Jeb Bush -- candidates Cruz coyly refers to as the \"mushy middle.\" Monday's event was the last part of a carefully coordinated media rollout, following Cruz's announcement of his candidacy in a 30-second video message posted on Twitter shortly after midnight on Monday, roughly 24 hours after the Houston Chronicle first reported his planned announcement. Ten thousand students from Liberty University crowded into the university's main arena for Cruz's announcement. The venue choice at this socially conservative campus aims to give Cruz an early boost among evangelical voters, who will be key to boosting presidential hopefuls in states like Iowa and South Carolina that have early nominating contests. It was a youthful crowd, as students are required to attend the University's tri-weekly convocation address. Not all in the audience were guaranteed Cruz supporters: Several attendees sported red \"Stand with Rand\" shirts, repping Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, who is slated to announce his candidacy early next month. Jerry Falwell Jr., the university's president and son of its founder and evangelical icon, introduced Cruz as a senator who \"has gone against the tide\" and a \"man of great character,\" all while stressing that the university does not endorse candidates for office. Falwell picked up on Cruz's assertion that millions of evangelical Christians did not vote in 2012, pointing out that \"if any candidate can energize that group, it will make a huge difference in any national race.\" Asked after the speech how he prepared for the event, Cruz said he \"spent some time in prayer\" thinking about the message he wants to convey. \"At the end of the day it's listening to the people about the vision for turning the country around,\" Cruz told CNN, adding that he was \"incredibly\" encouraged and inspired by the support.

+{"article": "(CNN)NASCAR announced Wednesday that it has lifted its suspension of driver Kurt Busch, making him eligible to return to the sport immediately -- albeit \"under indefinite probation.\" Busch was suspended after a Delaware civil court found that he probably committed domestic violence against his former girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll. She accused the standout driver of grabbing her by the throat and slamming her head against a wall in his motor home at Delaware's Dover International Speedway in September. Twice, the NASCAR 2004 Cup champion appealed his indefinite suspension and lost both times. That meant he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 as well as two subsequent Sprint Cup races. But he should be able to compete through the fall, and NASCAR says that it will waive its requirement for him to compete in all championship events. The case against Busch took a significant turn last week, when the Delaware Department of Justice announced that charges would not be filed against him. \"As I have said from the beginning, I did not commit domestic abuse,\" Busch said then. \"I look forward to being back in racing as soon as possible and moving on with my life.\" A Kent County, Delaware, family court commissioner ruled in February that Busch must stay away from Driscoll for a year. NASCAR officials decided to lift Busch's suspension because he complied with the requirements of the racing circuit's reinstatement program, completed behavioral assessments and got the OK from a behavioral health care expert to race again. He's not totally out of the woods. In a news release, NASCAR said Busch must \"undergo additional steps to address the behavior for which he was penalized.\" Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, said the lack of charges against Busch expedited his return. \"We have made it very clear to Kurt Busch our expectations for him moving forward, which includes participation in a treatment program and full compliance with all judicial requirements as a result of his off-track behavior,\" O'Donnell said.

+{"article": "(CNN)America may be growing less hateful. That's according to an annual Southern Poverty Law Center report that says the number of hate groups in the United States remains on the decline for the second year in a row. In the \"Intelligence Report\" released Tuesday, the SPLC says the number of hate groups operating in the U.S. declined 17% between 2013 and 2014. They are now at their lowest levels since 2005, the watchdog organization said. \"Patriot groups, which are animated by a series of conspiracy theories about the alleged evils of the federal government, fell even faster, to 874 groups from a 2012 peak of 1,360 groups. In just the last year, the number of Patriot groups declined by 20%, from 1,096 groups to 874,\" the report said. \"But those numbers may be somewhat deceiving. More than half of the decline in hate groups was of Ku Klux Klan chapters, and many of those have apparently gone underground, ending public communications, rather than disbanding.\" The decline may be due to a number of factors, including the rebounding economy, law enforcement action and leadership issues within the groups, the SPLC said. The \"high social\" cost of being associated publicly with a hate group is also noted as a factor for decline, the group said. \"The atmosphere has changed,\" Mark Potok, editor-in-chief of the \"Intelligence Report,\" told reporters on a conference call. \"Overall, the groups are less important.\" People publishing messages of hate directly to the Internet is also cited as a possible reason for the decline in the organized groups. California and Florida have the largest number of hate groups, with more than 50 each. Alaska and Hawaii are the only states with no hate groups, according to the SPLC. The report tracks the number of chapters or groups, not individual members, so while the number of groups is on the decline, it's possible that some of the groups that remain have increased membership. The Ku Klux Klan experienced the largest decline of all hate groups, according to the report, losing more than 50% of its chapters. One of the oldest and most infamous hate groups in the United States, the KKK took its foothold after the Civil War, terrorizing the African-American population with intimidation and violent actions, including lynching. The Klan's growth slowed after the establishment of Jim Crow laws in the American South, according to the SPLC. The KKK's last resurgence came during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. The group was again responsible for large-scale terror against the South's African-American population. In 1990, the SPLC started to keep track of the number of KKK chapters, which reached a high of 221 in 2010, in response to President Barack Obama's election, according to the report. Since then, the numbers have been on the decline. The SPLC now reports 72 chapters, down from 163 a year ago. Under Obama, 4 in 10 say race relations worsened .

Your mommy's here and everyone's here to make sure that the world you grow up in is even better.\" The scene -- while cute -- captured Cruz's determination to remain unwavering in his views and language, never backtracking. There was no \"just kidding\" or \"that was only a metaphor\" to assuage the little girl. Instead, the first-term senator continued with his speechifying and used the moment to illustrate his point that while things are bad now, they could get better -- especially, cough cough, if he becomes president. A woman who identified herself as the child's mother named Michelle later told the WRKO's Kuhner Report that her child's reaction came in a \"high question kind of voice,\" but that her daughter was \"quite happy\" in the aftermath. \"She really, basically was like 'oh, oh, this is a great man.'

His concerned bark broke the spell as my wife and I smooched and gaped, moon-eyed dorks on our first night in Venice. When I told my dad I was taking my wife to Italy for our first anniversary, he snorted. \"Where you gonna take her for your 10th? The moon?\" He was right. It was perfect. Pigeons in San Marco, sunset over the Grand Canal, Bellinis and cheeseburgers at Harry's. Venice entered our bloodstream that trip. But in the years since, I've heard very different stories from disappointed folks back from their first trip to La Serenissima because the city of water and love now has too much of both. Too much water, and way too many lovers. Because this impossible city of palazzos and cathedrals is built atop wooden posts driven into the muddy floor of a lagoon, Venice has been slowly sinking since Casanova canoodled down its canals. When aquifers were tapped to build massive petrochemical plants on the nearby mainland, Venice sank faster. And then folks noticed that the sea level was on a slow but steady rise. In the 1920s, there were about 400 incidents of acqua alta, or high water, when the right mix of tides and winds drives the liquid streets up into homes and shops in the lowers parts of the city. By the 1990s, there were 2,400 incidents -- and new records are set every year. But, the Italians have a plan. It is called the MOSE Project. MOSE is an acronym for \"Experimental Electromechanical Module,\" but it is also the Italian word for Moses, a guy known for parting the sea and protecting the faithful. It's a system of 78 massive gates mounted to hinges on the ocean floor. The gates are filled with air, and designed to rise and create a temporary sea wall. Since the plan was hatched, low-lying cities from Miami to Mumbai have taken a keen interest to see if the idea can work. Everybody is still waiting: MOSE is now 10 years behind schedule, and $5 billion over budget. And on one early morning in 2014, police rounded up 35 people at the highest levels of MOSE, including Giorgio Orsoni, the mayor of Venice. While several went to prison on plea bargains, the now-former mayor is fighting charges of corruption and kickbacks. But while I went back to Venice to do a story on rising water, instead I found a surprising drama about the rising tide of humanity. People know Venice is special and fragile, so they come -- to the tune of 20 million tourists a year.

+{"article": "(CNN)Cycling's international governing body for a long time failed to tackle widespread and well-known doping problems in the sport and gave special treatment to Lance Armstrong, according to a damning new report. The investigation by the Cycling Independent Reform Commission (CIRC) slams the way the world body -- the International Cycling Union, or UCI -- operated over a lengthy period and calls for a series of changes to its governance. The report highlights multiple instances in which top UCI officials protected, defended and made decisions favorable to Armstrong despite concerns that he was doping. Current UCI president Brian Cookson, who was elected to his post in September 2013, told CNN Monday that he had written to one of his predecessors, Dutchman Hein Verbruggen, to \"consider his position\" as the honorary president of the world governing body in the light of the findings. Both Zerbruggen and Irishman Pat McQuaid, who Cookson unseated, both come under intense scrutiny in the report for their dealings with Armstrong. \"UCI exempted Lance Armstrong from rules, failed to target test him despite the suspicions, and publicly supported him against allegations of doping, even as late as 2012,\" it says. The UCI \"saw Lance Armstrong as the perfect choice to lead the sport's renaissance\" after a devastating doping scandal at the 1998 Tour de France, according to the report. \"The fact that he was American opened up a new continent for the sport, he had beaten cancer and the media quickly made him a global star,\" it says. But Armstrong's spectacular downfall in 2012, which saw him stripped of his Tour de France titles and dropped by sponsors, helped intensify scrutiny over how he managed to get away with doping for so long. Under Cookson, the UCI set up the independent three-person commission to investigate the causes of doping in cycling and allegations that the UCI and other governing bodies were ineffective in their responses. In one case, the commission says, the UCI limited the scope of a supposedly independent investigation into allegations that Armstrong had tested positive in a drug test at the 1999 Tour de France. UCI officials and Armstrong's team became heavily involved in the drafting of the investigation's report, which was released in 2006. \"The main goal was to ensure that the report reflected UCI's and Lance Armstrong's personal conclusions,\" the commission says. \"The significant participation of UCI and Armstrong's team was never publicly acknowledged.\" Between 1992 and 2006, UCI's top officials focused on protecting cycling's reputation rather than trying to root out \"endemic\" doping practices of which they were well aware, the commission's report says. \"Not only did UCI leadership publicly disregard the magnitude of the problem, but the policies put in place to combat doping were inadequate,\" it says. The report highlights McQuaid's decision to allow Armstrong to participate in the 2009 Tour Down Under even though the cyclist hadn't been in the testing group for the required period of time.

Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden, where prosecutors want to question him about 2010 allegations that he raped one woman and sexually molested another. Swedish prosecutors have previously balked at coming to Britain to question Assange. However, a number of the crimes Julian Assange is suspected of will be subject to a statute of limitation in August 2015, according to a statement from Marianne Ny, the director of public prosecutions. \"If Assange gives his consent, the prosecutor will promptly submit a request for legal assistance to the British authorities to further continue the investigation,\" the statement said. A request will also be made to the Ecuadorian authorities for permission to \"perform investigative measures\" at its London embassy, the statement said. Ecuador granted Assange political asylum in 2012. Assange's defense lawyer, Per E. Samuelsson, said he called Assange on Friday morning with the news from the prosecution authority -- and that in principle they viewed the request positively. \"I think I woke him up, but he knew I was calling with news about the case since I called so early,\" Samuelsson said. \"He was, of course, very happy that something is finally happening but he is irritated that it has taken such a long time.\" This is a step that Assange and his team have been requesting for four years, Samuelsson said. Ny explained the logic behind the Swedish authorities' change of approach in her statement. \"My view has always been that to perform an interview with him at the Ecuadorian embassy in London would lower the quality of the interview, and that he would need to be present in Sweden in any case should there be a trial in the future,\" Ny said. \"This assessment remains unchanged. Now that time is of the essence, I have viewed it therefore necessary to accept such deficiencies to the investigation and likewise take the risk that the interview does not move the case forward, particularly as there are no other measures on offer without Assange being present in Sweden.\" The Australian national has not been charged and denies the claims. He's said he fears Sweden would extradite him to the United States, where he could face the death penalty if he is charged and convicted of publishing government secrets through WikiLeaks. Samuelsson said Assange's legal team would travel over to London as soon as possible to discuss Ny's request and that it expects to respond next week. \"The problem is that there are two more countries involved in this request so it might take some time to make all this happen,\" Samuelsson said.

The OU chapter, SAE said, \"likely learned a racist chant while attending a national leadership school about four years ago.\" The fraternity invites hundreds of leaders to a six-day conference every year, SAE said. \"While attendees have little social time, there are occasions when participants can gather socially,\" the statement said. \"[Executive Director Blaine] Ayers said it is likely that during one of these social gatherings, some members shared the racist song that was recorded on video at the University of Oklahoma and shared through social media earlier this month.\" Ayers said the organization has no evidence the chant is widespread across the fraternity's 237 groups. \"Our investigation to date shows no evidence the song was widely shared across the broader organization,\" Ayers said. \"The song is horrific and does not at all reflect our values as an organization.\" But OU President David Boren, in revealing details of the university investigation on Friday, said the chant was an integral part of life in the local chapter. \"Over time the chant was formalized in the local SAE chapter and was taught to pledges as part of the formal and informal leadership process,\" he said. \"It is clear that during the four years since the chant was brought to the university campus, its existence was known by recent members and ... it became part of the institutionalized culture of the chapter.\" Boren said \"alcohol was readily available at the fraternity house\" on March 7 and some chapter members were drinking. He also said about a dozen high school students had been invited to the event and \"were exposed to the chant.\" The chant was discovered by the school newspaper and a student organization, which received the video clip via anonymous messages. The video shows party-bound students on a bus clapping, pumping their fists and laughing as they chant, \"There will never be a ni**** SAE. You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me. There will never be a ni**** SAE.\" The university cut ties with Sigma Alpha Epsilon after the video surfaced, as did the national fraternity, and both launched investigations. The university has disciplined fraternity members with punishment ranging from permanent withdrawals to sensitivity training. Fraternity officers have issued apologies. SAE issued questions-and-answers about the controversy, noting the fraternity plans to hire a director of diversity and inclusion. About 20% of SAE members self-identify as a minority or non-Caucasian, SAE said.", "summary": "Sigma Alpha Epsilon's national office issues a statement about racist chant .

The documentary was released online and the hashtag #IndiasDaughter was trending in the UK after it aired. The documentary featured an interview with one of the men convicted in an infamous 2012 gang rape case that sparked massive outrage and protests in India. An Indian court restricted the publication and airing of the film in India as well as the dissemination of excerpts from it after Mukesh Singh's comments were released in several media outlets. Singh appeared to show no remorse and blamed the rape victim for being out at night, according to the documentary called \"India's Daughter.\" \"The media is likely to be seen as a voice for the perpetrator of such crimes by providing him a medium to communicate his views on the matter repeatedly,\" said a letter sent to media outlets by the Indian government. Despite the ban, the documentary can be seen on YouTube in India. Singh told the documentary crew that his victim \"should just be silent and allow the rape.\" \"A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night,\" he told the BBC. \"A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. Boy and girl are not equal. \"Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes.\" He suggested that they \"had a right to teach them a lesson.\" In a statement, India's home minister said the documentary crew violated the conditions granting the jail interview, which stipulated that the authorities be shown all unedited footage. Home Minister Rajnath Singh told Parliament on Wednesday that permission would not be granted to anyone in the future to interview prison inmates after the uproar over the documentary. \"The government has taken necessary legal action and obtained a restraining order from the court disseminating the contents of the film,\" according to the statement. India's constitution guarantees free speech with a caveat that it could be restricted when speech is deemed a threat to public order, incitement to an offense or an act of contempt of court. In December 2012, a young woman was savagely attacked and raped by a group of men aboard a public bus in New Delhi and later died from her injuries. Mukesh Singh, who was driving the bus, is now on death row and has filed an appeal.

+{"article": "(CNN)The attack on Tunisia's famed Bardo Museum is just the latest evidence that parts of North and sub-Saharan Africa have become a magnet for Islamist extremism. Tunisia -- lying just across the Mediterranean from Europe, but bordered on one side by Libya and on the other by Algeria -- has until now not suffered the kind of large-scale terror attacks seen in both those nations in recent years. But it has emerged as a place of increasing concern as the threat of Islamist extremism has intensified in the region. Islamist terrorists also have struck in Algeria, where they killed at least 37 hostages at a gas field in 2013, and in Libya, where terrorists killed the U.S. ambassador and three others in 2012 and where ISIS has established a beachhead in the east. Al Qaeda's North African offshoot Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which has its roots in Algeria, has captured territory in Mali and taken hostages -- often Europeans -- in countries such as Niger and Mauritania. So what is the world doing about it? The United States has created a military command in Africa and also established a special operations base in Djibouti, which borders Somalia in the Horn of Africa. France has sent troops to Mali. And, as CNN recently reported from Chad, Western militaries have trained special forces from several northern African nations to take on the Islamists. Here's a country-by-country look -- although not exhaustive -- at how Islamist extremism has reared its head across a swath of Africa. Algeria is home to a long-running Islamist insurgency. In perhaps the highest-profile incident, Islamist militants attacked the In Amenas oil and gas plant in southern Algeria in January 2013. At least 37 hostages, including three U.S. citizens, died in the seizure of, and ensuing special forces assault on, the remote facility. Dozens of assailants also died in the days-long siege. The attack was the work of the Mulathameen Brigade, which translates as the \"Signatories in Blood Brigade.\" Last September, another Islamist group beheaded a 55-year-old French hiker, Herve Gourdel, after seizing him as he walked in Djudjura National Park in central Algeria. Days earlier, the outfit -- Jund al Khilafa, a splinter group of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb -- had pledged allegiance to ISIS. Militants affiliated with AQIM had previously also kidnapped foreigners in Algeria, including Italians and Spaniards. In 2007, AQIM launched a suicide bombing campaign in Algeria, which included a deadly bombing against the U.N. headquarters in Algiers. In January, a suicide bombing and gun attack on a hotel in the capital, Tripoli, killed 10 people, including an American. The attack was swiftly claimed by Wilayat al-Tarabulus, ISIS' name for the province. Politicians in Tripoli disputed the claim. Besides its growing presence in Tripoli, ISIS is now the dominant force in Derna in eastern Libya and controls parts of the town center of Sirte, the hometown of former Libya strongman Moammar Gadhafi.

As a social worker in Minneapolis, Cathy Heying repeatedly saw how car problems could create a domino effect that endangered her clients' health, their jobs, even their homes. For years, she wished someone would do something about the problem. Then one day Heying realized, \"Oh dang, I think that somebody might be me.\" In 2008, she quit her full-time job and enrolled in automotive school. Five years later, armed with a degree in auto technology, Heying founded The Lift. Her nonprofit garage provides steeply discounted car repairs to low-income individuals. The approach is simple: Heying sells parts at cost, with no markup, and charges $15 an hour for labor; the going rate in Minneapolis is around $100 an hour. The result? Big savings for her customers. And for those who can't pay in full, she will work out payment plans.

Jooney Woodward's \"Best in Show\" is a documentation of those competitions, with photos that place a spotlight on the handlers and their animals. \"When you go to (the shows), they tend to be all about the animals -- people photographing the animals,\" Woodward said. \"I just wanted to turn my attention onto the people because they're so committed to what they do. They're really devoted and hardworking.\" While those involved with the competitions are the focus of many press photographers, Woodward's work stands out for its distinctive portraiture style. \"My work is a bit more composed. I use a medium-format camera and a tripod, so it is a bit more static in a way,\" she said. \"I think everybody is so proud of their animals that when I said to them that, 'I'd love a portrait of you and your cow,' everyone was more than willing to give up their time and help because they're so passionate about what they do.\" The \"Best in Show\" portraits lead viewers down a winding pathway to ponder those inexplicable yet noticeable connections and bonds that exist between the handlers and their animals. Woodward's photos also contain subtle details. For example, the symbols and signs on the wall behind Wendy and her Hereford yearling heifer Mandalay Juliette are just as significant as the handler and her animal. \"It's just the way (Wendy) had gone through the effort of decorating the pen (with Union Jacks) where the cows were being kept,\" Woodward said. \"There's also a sign behind (her) ... and there's a picture of a gentleman with a cow, who is actually her husband who had died a few years ago. ... I just thought that was nice, something quite sentimental about that.\" There are not only sentimental subtleties within \"Best in Show,\" but also fun and interesting ones as well. This is especially evident in the photo of the traditional Welsh pigs being judged, as Woodward points out there is an advertisement for sausages behind the pigs. Regardless of what elements make up Woodward's photos, the emotions and aesthetics remain particularly important. Woodward said that when photographing Jamie and his Jersey cow, his happiness and smile made her want to \"share that sense of enjoyment\" that handlers have when competing with their animals in the shows. What drew Woodward to Harriet and her guinea pig Gentleman Jack were the similar colors radiating from both of them. Her photo of the pair won the National Portrait Gallery's Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize in 2011. \"(Harriet) was like a steward, she was sort of judging the guinea pigs. And she also had her own guinea pig with her, which had red as well,\" Woodward said. \"I just thought that was incredibly striking.

In an interview with NBC, Netanyahu said, \"I haven't changed my policy, I never retracted my speech six years ago calling for a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state. What has changed is the reality, Abu Mazen (nickhame of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas) the Palestinian leader refuses to recognize the Jewish state, and he's made a pact with Hamas that calls for the destruction of Israel. And every territory vacated these days in the Middle East is taken up by Islamist forces and we want that to change so we can realize the vision of real sustained peace.

He says the Palestinians will keep pursuing statehood through the international arena instead of through negotiations. \"I've negotiated with them for 20 years, and I complained to the international community that there is a big difference between someone being a tough negotiator which is legitimate and someone being a non-negotiator,\" Erekat said. \"All Netanyahu needs to do to gain the credibility and the trust, not only of me but of the international community, he needs to stand tall and tell the Israeli people that in order to live in peace with our neighbors we're going to have to recognize the state of Palestine.\" Erekat says the Palestinians may try again for recognition once more at the United Nations, a forum where they fell one vote short of recognition as a full UN member state in December.

Images show the teens boarding a bus in Istanbul, Turkish HBR television reported. It's the first sighting of the girls since they left London almost two weeks ago. Authorities have said they have no reason to believe the girls are still in Turkey and believe they have crossed into neighboring Syria, parts of which have been taken over by Islamist terror group ISIS. The three east London classmates -- Shamima Begum, 15; Kadiza Sultana, 16; and Amira Abase, 15 -- boarded a Turkish Airlines plane from London's Gatwick Airport to Istanbul on February 17. A British counterterrorism officer said police had tried to reach out to the girls using the Turkish media and social media to persuade them to return home. The girls' parents have also publicly begged for them to come home. Days before they left for Turkey, at least one of the girls allegedly contacted a young woman, Aqsa Mahmood, who left her home in Scotland to travel to Syria in 2013 and is accused of trying to recruit others via social media. An attorney for the Mahmood family said the family was \"surprised, horrified\" that the contact had not prompted police action \"because they understood that Aqsa's social media content was being closely monitored by the security services.\" \"And the real concern that arises is that if a known member of ISIS who's now a poster girl for ISIS, seen to be recruiting and spreading propaganda, is in touch with young people in our country -- that one would expect the courtesy of a knock on the door of these families, to advise them that their children may be on the cusp of radicalization or going off to Syria,\" Aamer Anwar said. The Mahmood family condemned their daughter's actions, describing them \"as a perverted and evil distortion\" of Islam. But they also said the UK security services \"have serious questions to answer\" over their failure to intervene after one or more of the missing girls got in touch with her. Turkey has become the most traveled route for volunteers trying to join Syria's many armed factions since an anti-government uprising erupted more than three years ago. Initially, Ankara maintained an \"open door policy,\" allowing hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees to flee to safety in Turkey. Turkish border guards looked the other way, taking few steps to stop activists, volunteers and journalists from crossing into Syria. But with the rise of the ultra-violent Islamist group ISIS in Syria, the Turkish government increasingly came under criticism at home and abroad for not doing enough to stop jihadists from going through Turkey to get into Syria.

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. After her diagnosis, the young woman and her mother missed follow-up appointments, prompting the hospital to contact the Connecticut Department of Children and Families. They were concerned it was a case of medical neglect. After an investigation, the department requested temporary custody of Cassandra. She was removed from her mother's home and placed with a relative. A judge then allowed her to return home under the supervision of Department of Children and Families on condition she agree to complete the recommended treatment. After two days of chemotherapy in November, Cassandra ran away for a week, according to court documents. When she returned home she said she wanted to discontinue the treatment. Her mother, Jackie Fortin, who said she is opposed to chemotherapy, said her daughter didn't want the treatment because she did not want to put the \"poison\" in her body. In December, a judge returned Cassandra to the custody of Department of Children and Families after hearing testimony from her attorney. She was admitted to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford. Doctors surgically implanted a port in Cassandra's chest to administer chemotherapy medications, which began in spite of legal maneuvers to halt them. Now, she has just two treatments left, according to her state appointed attorney, Josh Michtom, who said she is feeling well and she is in good shape as far as her health is concerned. \"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. In January, he and an attorney for Cassandra's mother failed in their effort before the Connecticut Supreme Court to make the case that Cassandra was mature enough to make her own medical decision.

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.

The new details about Durst, who's been charged with first-degree murder, emerged Wednesday in court documents supporting a search warrant for his Houston home. It's the latest twist in a whirlwind week for Durst, the subject of HBO's true-crime documentary \"The Jinx.\" He's gone from a man battling suspicions that he killed three people to a frail 71-year-old on suicide watch. Durst, whose real estate developer family is among New York's wealthiest, has a net worth of about $100 million and had been withdrawing large sums of money from various bank accounts, including daily withdrawals of $9,000 over 35 days since October, the court documents said. He's being held on drug and weapons charges in Louisiana as he awaits extradition to Los Angeles to face charges in the 2000 killing of his close friend. It's not the first time he's been accused of murder. He admitted to killing and dismembering his neighbor in a 2003 trial, but he was acquitted after arguing he acted in self-defense. And while he's never been charged in his first wife's 1982 disappearance, her family members say they believe she's dead and that he's the one to blame. FBI agents are also investigating whether Durst could be connected to other unsolved murder cases. The agency is putting out a call to 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. Durst's apparent plans to flee began to unravel on Saturday, after an FBI agent approached him from behind at a New Orleans hotel and said, \"Mr. Durst?\" Although Durst had checked into the hotel under the name \"Everette Ward\" and carried a Texas ID card with that name, he turned around when the agent called him by name, according to court documents. In his hotel room, agents found more than $40,000 in cash, mostly in $100 bills packed into small envelopes, a loaded revolver, the rubber mask that covers the head and neck, his actual birth certificate and passport, and marijuana. On Tuesday, authorities made it clear they weren't done looking into Durst, even though he's behind bars. At the Houston condominium building where Durst owns three units and lived for many years, authorities seized compact discs, bank statements, handwritten notes, credit cards and checks, stationery, a cell phone, boxes of court documents, photos and a trash bag of court transcripts.

+{"article": "(CNN)Whoever wins the general election on May 7 will face international challenges reaching to the heart of a question that has bedevilled every London government since 1945: what is, or should be, Britain's role in the world? As one of World War II's victor countries, Britain helped shape the post-war international architecture. Notably, it gained a permanent seat, plus veto power, in the U.N. Security Council, which it retains to this day. But these battlefield laurels disguised fundamental weakness. The two world wars severely depleted Britain's human and material resources. The heyday of the world's largest-ever empire and of London and Liverpool's control of a vast maritime trading network had passed. As the Cold War took global grip, the United States purposefully pushed Britain aside. The U.S. took over its military bases, its spheres of influence, and its markets. Conscious of its decline, London clung, slightly pathetically, to what it termed its \"special relationship\" with Washington. Maintaining this key U.S. relationship is the most important foreign policy challenge facing Britain's prime minister after May 7. Whether that person is the Conservative party's David Cameron or the opposition Labour party's Ed Miliband makes no difference. Barack Obama's arrival in the White House now looks like a watershed for bilateral relations. Unlike many of his post-war predecessors, Obama was no Anglophile. Indeed, his grandfather's unhappy experience in colonial-era Kenya gave him reason to dislike the English. Obama the dispassionate analyst also found scant objective reason to prioritize the British alliance or Europe generally. Looking at the EU, he saw one dominant, friendly power -- and its capital was Berlin, not London. Looking the other way, to Asia, Obama saw opportunities and threats of far greater moment, centered on rising powers such as China and India -- hence his subsequent \"tilt\" to Asia. Britain's principal value to the U.S. lies with its defense capabilities. It proved a loyal if not especially effective ally in Afghanistan and Iraq. Although capacity has steadily declined in the past 30 years, Britain was seventh in the world in 2013 in terms of military spending and remains a dependable U.S. deputy within NATO. But the pre-election consensus is that the next British government will be obliged to slash defense spending again, probably below the 2% of GDP threshold to which NATO members are pledged to maintain. Big cuts in army and air force numbers are in prospect. Maintaining even one modern aircraft carrier has become a real struggle. It is likely, on these trends, that Britain would be unable to contribute separately to any new international campaign, but would be obliged to place its troops under U.S. command, as General Raymond Odierno, U.S. army chief of staff, recently suggested. America's top politicians, soldiers and diplomats, such as U.N. ambassador Samantha Power, are applying increasing pressure on Britain over defense expenditure, but with little joy so far. In time, this impasse could lead to a permanent rift. Worse still, in the U.S. view, is the possibility that a Labour-led government, potentially beholden to the unilateral nuclear disarmers of the Scottish National", "summary": "Whoever wins May 7 election must answer this question, says Simon Tisdall: What is, or should be, Britain's role in the world?

The man apparently did so, because she resisted the robbers, said P.B. Salim, chief administrator of the West Bengal state's Nadia district. Previously, a church official had told CNN sister broadcaster CNN-IBN that three or four of the men had raped the woman. A group of seven to eight men allegedly barged into the school and its attached staff residence during pre-dawn hours, and the elderly Sister Superior raised an alarm and resisted, Salim said. The rape was apparently punishment for it. Later, the men tied her up along with two other nuns and the building guard. The robbers then made off with cash worth a few hundred thousand rupees (thousands of dollars), laptops and other articles, Salim said. The attacked nun is under medical care. \"Physically, she is better. But the mental trauma will take its own time to heal,\" Salim said. \"It is a very, very shameful act, first of all, to rape any woman, any female,\" Father Dominic Emmanuel of the Delhi Catholic Archdiocese said in televised comments. \"But this one becomes even worse because, first of all, she is an old lady and then on top of it, she is a nun. She is a religious (and) has consecrated her life to God and all her life she has remained a virgin.\" The investigation into the burglary and rape is ongoing, and no arrests have yet been made, Salim told CNN. A series of rape cases involving girls, foreign tourists and a physiology student who died following a brutal gang rape in 2012 has hurt India's international reputation. Crowds have taken to Indian streets to protest against rape. The nation's lawmakers introduced tougher laws and punishments for sexual crimes and harassment. Despite such action, India continues to see episodes of sexual violence. For instance, five men were arrested in Kolkata in January and charged with raping a Japanese tourist. Police said the men operated as a gang and targeted single, Japanese tourists. In December, an Uber driver was charged with sexually assaulting a passenger. The incident that grabbed the world's attention was the rape of a woman by five men on a bus in 2012. She later died of her injuries. Anti-rape activists complained when the Indian government restricted the showing of a BBC documentary about rape that included comments from one of those men. He provoked outrage around the world by blaming the victim and saying the woman \"should just be silent and allow the rape.\" Official data in India show that rape cases have jumped almost 875% over the past 40 years -- from 2,487 in 1971 to 24,206 in 2011. But campaigners say sexual assaults are underreported because of stigma and cultural factors. Experts say the causes of the high number of rapes include the nation's patriarchy, widespread poverty and lack of law enforcement in rural areas.", "summary": "Official says men broke into a convent school and one sexually assaulted a septuagenarian nun .

Many of them, though, are clueless as to where they're headed. As a frequent traveler to the country, I've been approached many times by these men, asking me to help fill out their departure forms. Usually, when I ask what country they're traveling to, I get the same answer: \"I'm not sure.\" They seem weary and lost but still hopeful that they can make their lives better. This time, however, I'm at the airport to follow up on the repatriation of the most unfortunate of these migrant workers -- far too many of them make the return journey in caskets. Almost every day, the remains of three or four workers arrive back in Nepal from the Middle East, according to Bhola Prasad Siwakoti, the secretary of the Nepalese Ministry of Labor and Manpower. Every other day, at least one dead body arrives from Qatar, he said. \"Nepali migrant workers have the lowest per capita income in Qatar,\" says Suryanath Mishra, who served as ambassador to Qatar from 2007 to 2012. \"They get exploited the most out of all the migrant workers.\" He cites lack of education and technical skills as the main causes. We are waiting for the body of Kishun Das, who left Nepal for Qatar only eight months ago. The 38-year old was his family's breadwinner and the father of five children. His younger brother, Bishun, is at the airport to receive the body. He also works in Qatar and is in Nepal on leave. I ask him why he's alone. \"We don't have money to bring other family members to receive the body,\" he says. \"But they have been calling me every other minute asking for the update.\" His phone rings. \"I'm at the administration filling out the paperwork.\" he tells the caller on his phone. \"No, he isn't getting any compensation.\" With more than 350,000 migrant workers, Nepalis make up the second-biggest community in Qatar, after Indians, the embassy in Qatar claims. When contacted about the deaths of foreign workers in Qatar, a spokesman for the labor ministry said that all workers deserve to be protected against exploitation. Saad Al-Mraikhi estimated that some 400 Indian and Nepalese workers die each year in Qatar. \"It is desperately unfortunate that any worker should die overseas, in a foreign land, away from their family,\" the spokesman said. \"But it would be wrong, we believe, to allow the statistics to be consistently distorted to suggest that all deaths in a population of 1.5 million people are apparently the result of workplace conditions, either directly or indirectly, which is the prevailing and erroneous narrative.\" Al-Mraikhi spoke about recent changes in his country, including the introduction of a wage protection system, improved living conditions and increased penalties for companies that violate rules. \"While the vast majority of workers in Qatar are fairly treated, we recognise that a minority are not.

It's no wonder he wanted out. He has been playing football since he was 5 years old. Sound too young to strap on a helmet? Not really. Jones-Drew is no different from thousands of other boys whose parents introduce them to the gridiron just a few years out of diapers. Football is America's favorite sport. We pride ourselves on our toughness, on our ability to get back up when we're knocked down. What better sport is there to teach those lessons? But today, youth football is not looking like the best option. In 2012, an estimated 225,287 children -- down 9.5% since 2010 -- between the ages of 5 and 14 played Pop Warner football, in which the weight class for the 5-year-olds ranges from 35 to 79 pounds. With such lightweight boys competing with children more than twice their size, it's no wonder parents feel less inclined to put their kids in this sport. But not too long ago, parents thought nothing of sending their children out on the football field to run around and burn up a little energy. Many parents still insist youth football is safe. What could be healthier for a boy? Certainly, it beats sitting in front of a computer all day. That's exactly what Debra Pyka thought when she signed up her son, Joseph Chernach, for Pop Warner football in Wisconsin, then later in Michigan, when he was 11 years old, in 1997. If only she knew then that her son would be dead at 25. Joseph hung himself in his mother's shed on June 7, 2012. His brain was later found to have severe CTE, a degenerative brain disease that has been linked to concussions in football. Joseph Chernach had played sports, including wrestling, pole vaulting and football most of his young life. But he spent almost four years playing Pop Warner football from ages 11 to 14. \"My son was the class comedian, loved school, always fun to be around,\" Pyka told me. \"But we noticed after high school Joseph changed. He got depressed, angry, paranoid and withdrew from sports and his friends. We just didn't know why. After learning about CTE, I knew he had it even before we got the results. The symptoms were all there.\" Pyka is convinced those early days playing Pop Warner football triggered her son's CTE. Last month, Pyka and her son's estate filed a lawsuit against Pop Warner football for $5 million, claiming the nonprofit failed to protect its youngest players and warn them and their parents about the permanent dangers of head trauma. The lawsuit further alleges that Pyka's son and other children were intentionally put in danger because Pop Warner used amateur coaches with short tenures, who were never properly trained in the game of football, injury prevention, concussion or head injury identification.

The mummy was discovered, encased in a cavity in the statue, when a private buyer brought it to an expert for restoration. It's unclear when or how the statue was removed from China. But it wasn't until a team of researchers and scientists did a CT scan -- a comprehensive three dimensional x-ray image -- last year, did they discover the mummy's organs were missing. \"We thought it would be lung tissue, but instead we found little scraps of paper covered with Chinese characters,\" said Vincent van Vilsteren, an archaeology curator from Drents Museum. The mummy was found sitting on a bundle of cloth covered in Chinese inscriptions, revealing its identity as a Buddhist monk called Liuquan who may have practiced \"self-mummification\" to prepare for life after death. The process of self-mummification is a known tradition in countries like Japan, China and Thailand, and was practiced over a thousand years ago. The elaborate and arduous process includes eating a special diet and drinking a poisonous tea so the body would be too toxic to be eaten by maggots. The few monks that were able to successfully complete the process were highly revered. \"We suspect that for the first 200 years, the mummy was exposed and worshiped in a Buddhist temple in China... only in the 14th century did they do all the work to transform it into a nice statue,\" said van Vilsteren. Researchers are still waiting on DNA analysis results in hopes to trace the mummy back to its exact location in China.

+{"article": "London (CNN)It's a phenomenon that's been linked to a dragon, a black squirrel and Tiangiou, the magical dog of heaven. Mythologies from across the globe have blamed them all for eating the sun. In reality, solar eclipses, like the one that can be seen across parts of the Northern Hemisphere today, are down to an amazing coincidence. The moon and sun are at just the right distance away from the Earth that they appear to be of the same apparent size in the sky even though the sun is about 400 times larger than the moon. On occasion, the sun, moon and Earth are perfectly aligned so that when the moon passes in front of the sun it casts a shadow on the Earth, blocking the light. But that's not the whole story. A total eclipse can only be seen in the narrow corridor known as the \"path of totality\" --- or the \"inner umbral shadow.\" The area where the sun's rays are only partially obscured is called the \"penumbra.\" Today the moon's shadow falls across parts of North Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Millions will be in the penumbra part of the shadow and able to see a partial eclipse but if you want to catch the full majesty of the 2015 totality it will require a trip to the North Pole, Svalbard or the Faroe Islands between the UK and Norway. You can find out whether you will be able to see the eclipse by watching our animation. Solar eclipses are relatively common -- partial eclipses are visible somewhere on Earth most years -- but not necessarily in the same region. You might wait hundreds of years between two total eclipses at the same place. And not all eclipses are the same. The moon follows an elliptical orbit around the Earth which means it is sometimes closer to us -- at \"perigee\" -- and sometimes further away -- at \"apogee.\" At apogee, the moon doesn't appear quite big enough to completely obscure the sun during a solar eclipse and an observer sees a ring of brilliant light around the moon. This is called an annular eclipse. At perigee (as now) the sun will be completely blocked by the moon during totality. This gives scientists a chance to study the sun's atmosphere and help solve a cosmic conundrum. Astronomer Robert Massey of the UK's Royal Astronomical Society explained that the sun's atmosphere or corona is a massive 2 million degrees Celsius but the sun's surface only around 5,500 Celsius. He said this temperature difference has long mystified scientists. \"The eclipse at totality allows us to see the inner most regions of the sun's atmosphere even if it's only for a few minutes -- it's very hard to do otherwise,\" he said. Perhaps the brief window will give solar experts a chance to collect more data. But you don't have to be an astronomer to appreciate the incredible spectacle of an eclipse.

The newly announced Republican presidential candidate told CNN's Dana Bash on Tuesday that he will sign up for health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act -- a law he has been on a crusade to kill. \"We'll be getting new health insurance and we'll presumably do it through my job with the Senate, and so we'll be on the federal exchange with millions of others on the federal exchange,\" Cruz said. Asked whether he would accept the government contribution available to lawmakers and congressional staffers for their health care coverage through the ACA, Cruz said he will \"follow the text of the law.\" \"I strongly oppose the exemption that President Obama illegally put in place for members of Congress because (Senate Minority Leader) Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats didn't want to be under the same rules as the American people,\" Cruz said, before repeating: \"I believe we should follow the text of the law.\" Under the Affordable Care Act, members of Congress and some designated congressional staffers are required to obtain health care coverage through the D.C. Health Link Small Business Market. The Office of Personnel Management's guidelines state that lawmakers and their staff receive a \"government contribution\" if they get health care coverage through the ACA. But some lawmakers have declined to accept the contribution, saying they do not want to get special treatment. After the interview, a Cruz spokesperson clarified that he wouldn't take the contribution. Cruz's admission comes one day after CNN first reported that the senator would no longer have access to health benefits through his wife's employer, Goldman Sachs. Heidi Cruz, a managing director at the firm's Houston office, has gone on unpaid leave for the duration of the senator's presidential campaign and will not have access to the company's benefits during that time. Cruz's campaign appeared caught by surprise Monday by questions about the senator's health care.

He'll get so caught up in the moment that he'll gesture with his hands to make a point and his cane will go flying. He's in the zone. Now, the man who was told he might never walk again is coaching his team in the state playoffs. Turk is the head basketball coach at West Oso High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. His team just clinched the district championship after an undefeated district season and are playing in the Texas State Basketball playoffs. It's an impressive run for his first season as head coach -- and an inspiration to his young players. \"Coach shows us to never give up on any of your dreams,\" says 14-year-old starter Creighton Avery, who has known Turk since he was 9. Turk has been obsessed with basketball since he was a boy growing up in Indiana. When he was 5 years old, he learned to read by studying the sports pages with his grandfather. By the time he was 13, he was dreaming of playing for the Indiana Pacers. All that changed on January 21, 1994. That night, the 14-year-old watched the Chicago Bulls beat his Pacers in an intense game. He walked to bed. He woke up paralyzed. He was rushed in an ambulance to the hospital. For two weeks, he was completely paralyzed from the waist down and had temporarily lost some of his eye sight. After numerous tests, Turk was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, a rare disease that causes inflammation of the spinal cord. Turk and his family were facing the harsh truth about what his quality of life would be like. He had to cope with the fact that he may not walk again. \"Most patients do not recover well,\" said Turk. He spent the next 66 days in the hospital. A turning point came when Reggie Miller, the Indiana Pacers' all-star player and Turk's favorite basketballer, heard about what Turk was going through and paid him a visit in the hospital. Miller and Turk spent the next couple hours discussing each of their stories. The basketball player told him about growing up with pronated hips and having to wear leg braces, similar to the ones Turk was wearing at the time.

Before, the definition said marriage was between \"a man and a woman.\" The new definition says, in part, that \"marriage involves a unique commitment between two people, traditionally a man and a woman, to love and support each other for the rest of their lives.\" Already, PC (USA) ministers can perform same-sex marriages in states where such marriages are legal, the group said.

+{"article": "(CNN)What's your company doing this year for March Madness? If your workplace is like most, the answer is a big fat nothing. Instead of leveraging the NCAA's annual tournament and turning it into a genuine bonding experience between colleagues, most organizations pretend it isn't happening. On the surface, ignoring a sporting event that takes place during regular work hours might appear like sound business practice. After all, companies need to generate profit, and it's hard to generate profit when your employees are huddled around a television, right? Wrong. What this perspective overlooks is that productivity isn't simply a function of how many hours we spend at the office. It also depends on the quality of our workplace experience. And one critical feature of that experience is how closely connected we feel to our colleagues. Research has consistently demonstrated that we are more effective at our jobs when we feel attached to the people around us. How do strong colleague relationships elevate our performance? For one thing, they make us more motivated. When you and your colleagues are close, failing to perform your duties generates more than a dissatisfied customer or an unhappy manager -- it means letting down your friends. The social pressure to achieve results can serve as a stronger motivator than anything a boss can say. Closer connections also foster a sense of trust and more candid dialogue. Studies comparing the collaboration patterns of friends to mere acquaintances indicate that friends are more willing to ask for help and more comfortable speaking up when a colleague is off on the wrong track. Performance aside, workplace friendships benefit organizations for another reason: Employees with richer friendships tend to stay on with their company for longer periods of time. Despite these considerable benefits, at most companies, friendships are an afterthought. To motivate employees, managers tend to rely on bonuses, promotions, and salary increases, ignoring the fact that as humans, we all have a basic psychological need for meaningful relationships. Yet the research is clear: When we feel valued and respected by those around us, we're not only more motivated -- we're also happier, healthier, and more productive. For too many organizations, investing in quality employee relationships means one thing: team-building exercises. Think ice breakers, trust falls and scavenger hunts. Every year, corporations spend millions on off-site retreats and weekend getaways packed with cringeworthy activities that purportedly foster better communication. But here's the truth: While awkward collaborations may spark brief experiences of closeness, they rarely translate into lasting friendships. So what does? Studies suggest three factors are essential to the development of authentic, meaningful friendships: familiarity (being around the same colleague often), similarity (finding commonalities in your background), and self-disclosure (revealing personal information about yourself every now and then, and having your co-worker do the same). Few activities include all three of these elements. This explains why close relationships usually take years to develop. But interestingly, office game-viewing parties come close.

+{"article": "(CNN)There were screams. Then the sounds of a commercial jetliner slamming into the mountainside. And finally silence. Deathly silence. That much is known about the final few minutes for the 144 passengers on Germanwings Flight 9525. Beyond that, it's a matter of imagination and speculation -- about what they saw and what they felt as their plane approached and then crashed into the Alps. None of them can speak for themselves, nor can any of the flight's six crew members. But authorities have given some clues, based on what investigators know about the aircraft's trajectory and what they've heard on a mangled cockpit voice recorder recovered at the crash site. It all began on what seemed like most any other Tuesday as citizens of 18 countries packed into the Germanwings plane in Barcelona, Spain. The passengers came from all walks of life, using Lufthansa's low-cost carrier to get to Dusseldorf, Germany. They were high school students, heading home after a week in Spain. They were parents and children enjoying their vacation. There were businessmen, scouting out store locations. There was a 26-minute delay before takeoff because air traffic controllers didn't give the OK to start the plane's engines earlier and there was a small wait in the takeoff rotation, according to Lufthansa. For any frequent flier, that kind of delay is nothing abnormal. Nor, it seems, was takeoff. The Airbus A320 left and headed northeast at 10:01 a.m. (5:01 a.m. ET) on what should have been a 726-mile journey. The plane leveled off at 38,000 feet, its cruising altitude. By this point, passengers would be OK to unbuckle, head to the restroom or get their bags out of the overhead bin. A seemingly innocuous act changed everything: The aircraft's pilot had to use the restroom, according to Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr, telling the co-pilot that he was stepping out. It's possible that passengers saw the captain in the cabin, going to or from the restroom. They also could have noticed that the aircraft was going down -- even though they were about a half-hour into a nearly two-hour flight, with the Alps ahead of them. The passengers couldn't have known it, but the co-pilot -- identified as 28-year-old Andreas Lubitz --\"manipulated the buttons of the flight monitoring system to activate the descent of the aircraft\" while the pilot was out, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said Thursday. This was around 10:45 a.m. It wasn't like the plane suddenly jerked down, plunging straight into the ground. Authorities described a steady descent at a rate of about 3,000 to 3,500 feet (or roughly 1,000 meters) per minute. Still, it is the kind of descent you'd expect while nearing an airport -- not traversing the Alps. If passengers didn't notice that fall, they might have caught wind of what was happening at the front of the plane. Students, singers among the victims .

Singh and his former government have repeatedly denied accusations they cost the treasury billions of dollars in lost revenue by selling coalfields to private companies, without allowing competitive bidding. The 82-year-old leader, who served as the nation's prime minister for two successive terms until last year, was not named as a defendant in the original dossier of charges, said Kanchan Prasad, the spokeswoman for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Nevertheless, the trial court summoned him and some other corporate leaders to testify in person on April 8, she said.

The summons has been issued under India's anti-corruption law. Singh said he was open to legal scrutiny. \"(I) Am sure that the truth will prevail and I will get a chance to put forward my case with all the facts. I have always said I am open for legal scrutiny. Of course I am upset, but this is part of life,\" he said in a text message issued by his office. Singh's Congress Party also came to his defense. The former prime minister functioned with \"utmost probity and utmost transparency\" during his term, said senior Congress Party leader Manish Tiwari. He said Singh's legal team would thoroughly examine the summons, and indicated it may be challenged in a higher court. The Oxford-Cambridge educated Singh has been credited with ushering in economic reforms in India as its finance minister in the 1990s. In his first term as prime minister, he initiated a historic nuclear deal with the United States that ended the South Asian nation's decades-old isolation in the global nuclear market. His second tenure was hit by the unearthing of a series of scandals spread across various sectors. In 2012, the national auditor alleged a widespread scam in the allocation of coal blocks. India depends heavily on coal for power. The fuel is abundantly available in the country, but that's still not enough to satisfy the demand for energy in Asia's third-largest economy.

Of it, at least 84.7 million tonnes is being met through imports, coal minister Piyush Goyal told the Indian parliament in December.

+{"article": "(CNN)With a little bit of help from Donald Trump, Rory McIlroy was re-united with the golf club he famously threw into the lake at Doral -- but probably wished the golf-loving tycoon had not bothered. Never one to miss a media opportunity, Trump, the owner of the Blue Monster course in Florida, got a scuba diver to retrieve the 3-iron club which world No. 1 McIlroy had thought he had seen the last of during Friday's second round at the WGC-Cadillac Championship. The 68-year-old American entrepreneur presented it to McIlroy before his final round Sunday, telling him that it was unlucky to continue playing with 13 clubs as against the usual 14 allowed under golf's rules. \"He's never one to miss an opportunity,\" McIlroy told the official PGA Tour website after his round. \"It was fine. It was good fun.\" Not that opportunity knocked for McIlroy when he chose the 3-iron to play his third shot to the 18th and final hole of the tournament and promptly found the water again. The Northern Irishman feigned to repeat his earlier antics, before placing it back in the bag. His mistake led to a double bogey six and left him tied for ninth at one-under-par, eight shots behind winner Dustin Johnson. McIlroy had promised to return the club to Trump after the round and was as good as his word. \"We're thinking about auctioning it for charity or doing a trophy case for Doral, putting it on a beautiful mount,\" Trump said. Johnson is looking set to be one of McIlroy's main rivals in the first major of the season, the U.S. Masters at Augusta, next month and his victory completed a triumphant comeback to the PGA Tour. The 30-year-old American took a six-month break from the Tour last July to cope with \"personal problems\" and returned earlier this year. Johnson finished with a three-under 69 in testing conditions to leave him one ahead of long-time leader JB Holmes and two clear of Bubba Watson, the reigning Masters champion.

He died instantly. Erika Menendez of Queens, was charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime. Menendez told authorities she \"pushed a Muslim off the train tracks\" because she'd hated Hindus and Muslims ever since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. Menendez, 33, was allowed Friday to plead guilty to first-degree manslaughter, Brown said in a statement. The judge indicated he would sentence her to 22 to 25 years in prison on April 29. Conviction on the original charge would have resulted in a tougher sentence -- 25 years to life imprisonment, Meris Campbell, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, said Saturday. The district attorney's office accepted the plea because Menendez promised not to appeal and because of Menendez's \"substantial psychiatric history and serious drug problem,\" Campbell said. \"We are assured she'll serve a substantial amount of time behind bars.\" The victim, Sunando Sen, 46, was not Muslim. A friend told CNN he grew up in a Hindu family. The incident happened at night at the 40 Street-Lowery Street station in Sunnyside, Queens. Witnesses told police a woman paced the platform and talked to herself before pushing Sen as the 11-car train entered the station. Security video showed a woman running from the scene. Menendez was recognized on a street in Brooklyn by a passerby who had seen the video and called 911, police said. \"The defendant is accused of committing what is every subway commuter's worst nightmare -- being suddenly and senselessly pushed into the path of an oncoming train,\" Brown said Friday. \"The victim was allegedly shoved from behind and had no chance to defend himself.\" A call and email to Menendez's defense lawyer were not immediately returned Saturday.

Argentina legend Guillermo Vilas leads the way with 49 wins in clay-court tournaments, but today's \"King of Clay\" drew nearer to the leading mark by winning his 46th title in Buenos Aires. He also claimed his 65th title from 93 tour-level finals, breaking out of a tie with legends Pete Sampras and Bjorn Borg for fifth place in the all-time list. Nadal has been hampered by injury and illness since his Roland Garros triumph last June and lost out to Fabio Fognini in the semifinals of the Rio Open last week. It was a dispiriting defeat -- his first in a clay-court semifinal for 12 years -- but, moving from Brazil to Argentina, the Spaniard was largely untroubled in reaching the final and duly swept aside home player Juan Monaco 6-4 6-1 in the Estadio Billoch Caride. Nadal was playing in the first event for the first time in 10 years and his victory is a morale-booster after going out early in Qatar and exiting the Australian Open ahead of his clay-court swing in South America. The 28-year-old from Mallorca took his career record against Monaco, who was playing his 20th career final, to 6-1 and was never seriously troubled in the title match. The only thing to delay him was multiple rain delays which had the players scurrying on and off the court. A single break of service gave him the opener but he pulled clear immediately in the second and three further breaks saw him wrap up victory in just short of an hour and a half of action.

+{"article": "(CNN)Two U.K. charities have stopped funding a Muslim advocacy group that had earlier helped ISIS's masked murderer \"Jihadi John,\" now identified as Mohammed Emwazi, before his radicalization, the group said. The human rights and advocacy group CAGE in London said it accepted the loss of funding from the Roddick Foundation and the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. But CAGE blamed a \"neo-conservative\" leadership on the U.K.'s Charity Commission for pressuring the two charities to halt funding. \"We respect their decision. We thank them for their past support. Both of these charities have played a significant role in contributing to the development of Muslim civil society here in the UK,\" CAGE spokesperson Amandla Thomas-Johnson said Friday. The termination of funding came after the Charity Commission \"took robust action\" and cited how \"public statements by CAGE officials heightened concerns about the use of charitable funds to support their activities,\" the commission said in a statement. The commission didn't specify those statements by CAGE, but stated that \"in our view, those statements increased the threat to public trust and confidence in charity and raised clear questions for a charity considering funding CAGE's activities as to how the trustees of those charities could comply with their legal duties as charity trustees,\" the commission said. \"CAGE is not a charity but has been in part funded by British charities. As it is not a charity and given the nature of its work, and the controversy it has attracted, the Charity Commission has been concerned that such funding risked damaging public trust and confidence in charity,\" the commission said. \"As the regulator of charities, we expect all charities and trustees to ensure that all charitable funds are used according to their charity's purposes and in the way that the public would expect,\" the commission said. CAGE said it had worked with Emwazi and indicated that British authorities' tactics pushed him to radicalize. CAGE said that emails he sent the organization paint a picture of a desperate man hounded by authorities who saw his plans for a new life crumble as he tried unsuccessfully to get help. Emwazi felt he was being harassed by authorities and tried to seek legal help to stop it, according to CAGE. Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born Londoner, was a \"polite\" and \"beautiful young man\" who would drop into the CAGE office with treats to thank the group for helping him, the group said. Emwazi came to CAGE in 2009 looking for support when he felt that British authorities were -- in the words of Asim Qureshi, CAGE's research director -- \"harassing\" him. But Emwazi has now been identified by U.S. officials as the masked man in ISIS videos showing beheadings of Western hostages. More than a dozen British administrative court documents obtained by CNN reveal British security services initially believed Emwazi was part of a radical West London recruitment network for terrorist groups in East Africa.

It's as if we're assembled at \"The Flyover Wonder Bread Factory,\" devoid of color or depth. We supposedly represent all that is wholesome in America. That may be true, but \"friendly and hard-working\" is so ... bland. If you think I'm being a tad harsh, ask anyone who isn't from the Midwest to describe someone born and raised in America's Heartland. My favorite definition came from a colleague raised in Florida. She struggled to describe us at first, then said, \"Simple.\" Um, like the Amish? \"No,\" she said, flustered. Even my fellow Midwesterners have a hard time coming up with interesting descriptors. CNN legal analyst Danny Cevallos is a proud native of North Muskegon, Michigan. First thing out of his mouth, \"Friendliness!\" After that, he struggled, too. \"Boy, let me see...um...not easily agitated?\" I rolled my eyes. \"That is so bland, Danny.\" He paused, then said, \"I'll take bland over the rap Florida gets any day.\" Even my new friend, Jared Zak, from Wisconsin struggled. The best he could come up with was \"hearty.\" I asked these questions after interviewing Eric Dayton, who wants his native Minnesota to divorce itself from the Midwest. \"We're Midwest if you're looking at it from New York City or from anywhere on [the East] Coast,\" Dayton told me. \"But then again, that's someone else's definition. I think it's time for us to claim our own.\" Dayton and his brother, Andrew, whose father is the state's governor, are Minneapolis businessmen whose clothing store and restaurant have a decidedly local flavor. Eric Dayton, after touring Scandinavia (many Minnesotans are of Norwegian descent), became enthralled by the region's strong identity. It proudly embraced its chilly weather, its food, its culture, its... Northiness. So why, he questioned, didn't Minnesota? When Dayton got home he hired a Minnesota company to make stocking hats for his clothing boutique that said, \"North.\" They sold out and Dayton's idea headed, well, north. Minnesotans just got it, he said. I admit, I didn't get it, until I thought more about it. Minnesota -- or should I say Minneapolis -- is criticized, by some of my compatriots, for being \"Minnesota nice,\" the sort of \"nice\" (fake) that isn't remotely the kind of \"nice\" (sincere) for which Midwesterners are renowned.

And, you could argue Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are Eastern states. The only truly Midwestern states are Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Go ahead, argue among yourselves, but know that Mr. Dayton isn't talking only about geography when it comes to labeling Minnesota -- \"The North.\" He's talking about image and, although he won't say it, branding. \"The New York Times had done an article highlighting different Thanksgiving side dishes,\" Dayton told me. \"For Minnesota, they named grape salad as our signature", "summary": "Costello: The Midwest is not 'flyover country' and has more to offer than friendliness.

+{"article": "London (CNN)London teenager Brusthom Ziamani only converted to Islam in April last year. But by August he was arrested on suspicion of plotting to kill a soldier, police officer or government official, with a 12-inch knife and a hammer found in his backpack. Ziamani was convicted in February of \"engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts\" and sentenced Friday at the Old Bailey to 22 years in prison. It's a case with chilling echoes of the shocking murder by two Islamist extremists of soldier Lee Rigby, mowed down and hacked to death with a machete on a street in Woolwich, in southeast London, in May 2013. On the morning of his arrest, Ziamani had told his former girlfriend he intended to attack and kill soldiers. He also showed her the long-bladed knife and the hammer in his bag. Police who had searched his home two months previously had found a handwritten letter in which he glorified the murder of Rigby, and stated that \"we should do a 9/11, 7/7 and a Woolwich all in one day.\" Police said Ziamani, who was unemployed, had come under the influence of a banned London-based terrorist organization \"that it is believed played a major role in influencing and shaping his radical views.\" That organization is Al Muhajiroun, also known as ALM. Handing down the 22-year sentence, Judge Timothy Pontius said the police had put together a \"formidable and unassailable\" case against the teenager. \"Ziamani's coldblooded deliberation under the malign influence of ALM, of whom he was a willing student, showed in court that he was far from the naive adolescent that the (defense) tried to portray him as,\" he is quoted as saying in a police statement. \"He is a man of intelligence and independent and articulate mind. He was within hours of carrying out his intention of murdering a soldier, police officer or government official to imitate the horrifying savagery carried out by the killers of Lee Rigby.\" The letter that came to light when counterterror officers from London's Metropolitan Police searched Ziamani's address in June gave an insight into an extremist mind-set that already had violence in mind. Found in a pair of jeans, according to police, the letter was messily written with many misspellings. In it, he tells his \"beloved parents\" that what he's about to do is an obligation for Muslims and asks them to forgive him for all the stress he's caused them in the past. \"I'm a changed person,\" he said, saying he has to act to help his \"brothers and sisters\" in Syria and Iraq.

Clinton aides and department officials stressed this week that the former secretary of state did not violate State policy when she exclusively used a private email account for government work. However, it is currently unclear whether Clinton broke a State guideline dating back to 2005 that suggested \"normal day-to-day operations be conducted on an (authorized information system), which has the proper level of security control.\" Those guidelines were filled with exemptions that could allow Clinton to use a private account. The department official was careful to say that the people reviewing the documents are \"not going to prejudge the outcome of the review of Secretary Clinton's 55,000 pages of emails.\" Clinton was not automatically in violation of State Department policy when she exclusively used a private email during her four years as America's top diplomat, the source added, contradicting other media on Thursday. \"Under federal regulations, there is no prohibition on using a personal email for official business as long as any records are preserved,\" the official said. \"Reports claiming that by using personal email she is automatically in violation of that FAM [Foreign Affairs manual] are inaccurate.\" Clinton's use of private email was never hidden from anyone, according to a former State Department official. The former secretary of state sent thousands of employees message from that account and in her four plus years at the State Department, nobody raised a red flag and say that she couldn't conduct her email communication in the manner she was conducting it, the former official adds. There were no big internal discussion among State Department lawyers, either, about Clinton's use of private email. The former official said it was simply accepted as her form of communication. Clinton's exclusive use of a private email system has quickly ballooned this week into a controversy for the presumed Democratic frontrunner for president in 2016. Experts have said it doesn't appear Clinton violated federal laws, but that hasn't stemmed the issue that has become more about bad optics and politics. Clinton tweeted on Wednesday night that she asked State to release her emails. \"I want the public to see my email,\" her tweet said. \"They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.\" The State Department acknowledged Clinton's request after the tweet, and a senior official said the review could \"take several months.\" And while State officials said their review will focus on what can be released, the inquiry will also have to determine what is not suitable for dissemination given its sensitivity. If the department has to withhold documents, questions are likely to be raised about whether Clinton broke State Department guidance for transmuting sensitive but unclassified materials. On Friday, Marie Harf, a state department spokeswoman, said she was \"not going to speculate\" about whether there is sensitive information in Clinton's emails. \"We just don't know what would happen in that situation, there are so", "summary": "Clinton's use of private email was never hidden from anyone .

+{"article": "(CNN)From an iconic marble statue of a heavily pregnant disabled artist to the more recent giant blue cockerel, London's Fourth Plinth art project has always provided a controversial modern twist to the traditional landmarks around London's Trafalgar Square. The latest offering, \"Gift Horse,\" which took up residence in the Square's northwest corner Thursday, looks set to continue the tradition with a work that explores the link between power, money and history, according to organizers. Unveiled by London's Mayor Boris Johnson, the sculpture created by German-born conceptual artist Hans Haacke portrays a skeletal riderless horse with an ribbon-shaped electronic ticker tied to its left leg showing live market data from London's Stock Exchange. \"'Gift Horse' is a startlingly original comment on the relationship between art and commerce and I hope it will stimulate as much debate as other works that have appeared on the plinth,\" Johnson said. The 13-feet high bronze skeleton is a \"wry comment,\" organizers say, on the equestrian statue of King William IV originally planned, but never realized for the plinth more than 150 years ago. Further nods to the past and the sculpture's location can be found in the pose which is based on the engraving \"The Anatomy of a Horse\" by English artist George Stubbs, whose famous equine portraits hang on the walls of the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square's north side. One of London's most famous landmarks, Trafalgar Square is popular with tourists. Named after a famed 1805 British naval victory against the French, its centerpiece is a column commemorating Lord Horatio Nelson, who died during the conflict. In a career spanning half-a-century, Haacke has frequently explored the interconnectedness of art, power and money through installations, paintings, photography and written text. Many of Haacke's most famous works have explored systems, be it physical -- as evidenced by his famous 1960s work \"Condensation Cube\" -- or the social and political as seen in \"MoMA Poll\" (1970), \"A Breed Apart\" (1978) and more recently his \"Der Bev\u00f6lkerung\" (The People) installed in Germany's Reichstag building in Berlin in 2000. \"It's a very prominent spot,\" said the 78-year-old, reflecting on the \"Gift Horse's\" positioning in Trafalgar Square, \"It's very beautiful. Everybody sees it.\" \"There are other statues and the idea of having the empty plinth which has been made available periodically for artists is a great idea,\" added Haacke. Around Trafalgar Square there was mixed reaction to the sculpture. \"It definitely doesn't look like a horse's head, does it? Looks more dinosaur-ish to me,\" said a slightly baffled female day-tripper from Wales, while another tourist seemed equally confused. \"My first impression was that it looked like an alien, because you see it and then you think, huh? What is it?\" said Toni, visiting from Switzerland. Local reaction was more positive though. \"I just think it's very witty,\" said Londoner Tony Francis. \"I can see the (George) Stubbs influence. And I love the Stock Exchange (ribbon) scrolling round and the way they merge into each other.\" \"Gift Horse\" is the 10th artwork to sit on the plinth and follows the \"Hahn/Cock,\" created", "summary": "A new sculpture for Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth unveiled Thursday .

They were on a cruise that stopped in Tunis. Francisco Cabezas, a sportswriter with the newspaper El Mundo, wrote that his neighbors for eight years had loved children and walking in the mountains.

Thanks to this recent injection of financing, designers and engineers are now readying the craft for first flight tests scheduled for later this year. While the concept has been around for nearly a century, airships fell out of fashion following the Hindenburg disaster in 1937, when the German passenger craft erupted into flames while trying to dock, killing 36. While an airship might seem like a craft from a time long passed, it has been given a 21st century design overhaul and HAV hopes to have airships back in the skies over the UK by 2016. Chris Daniels, HAV head of partnerships and communications, said: \"The sole problems existing old-style airships had (were) having lots of ground crew, limited ability to carry payloads and to be susceptible to weather conditions. We solved all those problems with a new concept -- a hybrid aircraft. So a mix between a wing and an airship.\" The Airlander 10 -- named because it can carry 10 tons -- is made of a bespoke fabric of carbon fiber, kevlar and mylar, while the pressure of the helium inside maintains the aircraft's shape. Diesel fuel helps the Airlander take off and land and powers the propellers. The spacious cockpit is currently configured to accommodate a pilot and one observer but Daniels says this can easily be reconfigured to end-user specifications. The airship also has green credentials -- its creators say the current version uses 20% fuel burn of existing aircraft, can be fitted with solar panels, uses near-silent 325 hp V8 engines and can stay airborne for five days while carrying its maximum payload. The vehicle can also operate in extreme weather conditions (+54 to -56 degrees Celsius). While the previous U.S. Army project had military applications in mind, this time HAV plans to split end use 60:40 between civlian and military applications. Daniels says that they've had incredible interest from at home and abroad. The U.S. Coastguard has expressed interest in using the hybrid airships to monitor the nation's coastline. Meanwhile Swedish firm OceanSky, in conjunction with the government, wants to use the Airlander as an air transport system for wind turbines. Daniels explained: \"At the moment, the only way of doing (transporting the equipment) is basically plowing a 50m-wide highway through pristine Nordic forest, which is not a good thing to do and they don't want to destroy", "summary": "The Airlander 10 is a 300-feet long hybrid aircraft .

The award-winning architect died \"suddenly and peacefully\" from natural causes, according to a statement from Michael Graves Architecture and Design. He was 80. Graves was one of the most revered contemporary architects, known for his postmodern designs, and won hundreds of prizes in his field. He started his practice in 1964, which designed over 400 buildings worldwide. Architecture critics hailed him as one of the original American voices in architecture as he has designed hundreds of buildings for corporations, governments, foundations and universities. Among his noted works are The Portland Building in Oregon, The Humana Building in Louisville, Kentucky, the NCAA Hall of Champions in Indiana, and the Team Disney building in Burbank, California. He has been praised for making buildings functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. For many Americans, Graves might be best known as the designer of household items. One of his best known designs was the Alessi stainless steel teakettle with a red bird at the tip that sang when water had boiled. Graves helped propel Target and its collaborations with designers to massive popularity. His line for Target included practical items from tea kettles and drying racks to whimsical kitchen equipment like an avocado scooper and large bamboo salad tongs. His Target line came with a simple, idealistic premise: \"Good design should be affordable to all.\" His designs were also sold at JCPenney and Black & Decker. He was awarded the National Medal of the Arts, as well as the Driehaus Prize for Classical Architecture. Born in Indianapolis, Graves received his training at the University of Cincinnati and Harvard. In 1962, he began teaching at Princeton University. In 2003, Graves became paralyzed from the chest down after suffering what started out as a sinus infection. Graves recalled being severely ill and examining the ugly sheets and bad design in hospitals. He decided: \"It's far too ugly for me to die here.\" The illness phased in a new chapter in his life. Struggling in hospital rooms made him determined to improve health care facilities and designs, including more user-friendly hospital furniture for patients. \"I wouldn't have been a health care nut if it hadn't been for my paralysis, so something good came from this,\" he told CNN in 2011. Michael Graves: Why hospital rooms don't work . Throughout his illness, Graves continued to sketch. \"Whether I was paralyzed or not, I would draw, because drawing for me is like playing the piano,\" he told CNN. \"You've got to keep practicing, got to keep doing it.

And it will certainly be unprecedented. Some 1,200 of the Reagan's crew will be executing what the Navy calls a three-hull swap, serving aboard three different carriers in one tour of duty as the service juggles assets to meet mission requirements. The 1,200 are calling themselves \"The Three Presidents Crew,\" as they will serve aboard three of the Navy's carriers named after presidents: the Reagan, the USS George Washington and the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The crew will even have its own insignia and hull number, CVN 220, the sum of the hull numbers of the Reagan (CVN 76), the Roosevelt (CVN 71) and the Washington (CVN 73). Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class David Frederick aboard the Reagan came up with the logo. \"I am honored that my art will be a part of the legacy of this 'Three Presidents' crew, and I hope that it will bring attention to the hard work of all the Sailors who are involved in this crew swap,\" he said. The swap will begin this summer. The George Washington will go from its home port in Japan to San Diego, where a crew swap with the Reagan will take place. While the George Washington crew takes the Reagan to replace the Washington in Japan, the Three Presidents crew will board the George Washington, which will be headed for Norfolk, Virginia, and an overhaul.

It was caught on surveillance cameras on the MetroLink train and a passenger recorded it with a cell phone and posted the video online. It has gone viral. Police confirmed to CNN that the online images came from the attack. The victim, 43, was commuting home when a young man in a red T-shirt and cap walked up to him. The victim asked not to be named in media reports. The man asked to use the victim's cell phone. He declined, and the young man sat down beside him. \"Then he asked me my opinion on the Michael Brown thing,\" the victim told KMOV, \"and I responded I was too tired to think about it right now.\" The suspect, in his 20s, stood up. \"The next thing I know, he sucker punches me right in the middle of my face,\" the victim said. The video showed the suspect unleashing a barrage of punches at the head of the victim, who covered himself with his hand and forearms. The two other men, also in their 20s, joined in, police said.

+{"article": "(CNN)A Georgia police chief who said he accidentally shot and seriously injured his wife while the couple were sleeping in bed has resigned, the Peachtree City Police Department said Wednesday. William McCollom stepped down as chief of police in Peachtree City nearly a week after a prosecutor announced that although the New Year's Day shooting appeared accidental, McCollom could eventually face a misdemeanor charge accusing him of recklessly taking a gun to bed after drinking alcohol and taking sleeping medication. The shooting in Peachtree City, an upscale community of 35,000 people south of Atlanta, left Margaret McCollom paralyzed below the waist. \"I have had had two families in Peachtree City -- my police family and my personal family. In light of the recent tragedy in my personal family, I need to continue to focus my time and efforts there,\" William McCollom said in a message posted Wednesday on the police department's Facebook page. Medics and police rushed to the McColloms' home early on January 1 after the chief called 911 to say he accidentally shot his wife as both were sleeping -- by inadvertently moving a gun that he had taken to bed with him. \"The gun was in the bed, I went to move it, put it to the side, and it went off,\" McCollom says in a recording of the 911 call. Later in the call, the operator asked McCollom, \"Were you asleep also when this happened?\" \"Yes,\" the chief, 57 at the time, replied. Last week, Scott Ballard, district attorney for a several-county area that includes Peachtree City, said a Georgia Bureau of Investigation probe found the following: . -- McCollom went to bed on New Year's Eve after consuming alcohol and sleep medication. -- After barking dogs awoke him in the middle of the night, he got up, picked up his Glock 9mm gun from a dresser and checked the house. After finding nothing, he returned to bed, placing the gun under the sheets. -- McCollom woke up to the sound of a gunshot that struck his wife's right side. A wound on his right hand corroborates his claim that his palm blocked the ejection of a spent shell. -- Forensic analysis of the sheets shows that the gun was fired from under the sheets. Investigators concluded there was no evidence to suggest McCollum intentionally shot his wife, and that he didn't appear to have any motive to harm her, Ballard said. Still, Ballard said he would ask a grand jury on April 15 to indict McCollum on a misdemeanor charge of reckless conduct, \"since the chief took a loaded gun to bed with him after ingesting alcohol and sleep medication.\" Margaret McCollom has been staying at a spinal cord rehabilitation center, being treated for paralysis below the waist and other complications, Ballard said last week.

+{"article": "(CNN)Barring a revelation from his parents or girlfriend, we may never know what was going through the mind of Andreas Lubitz in the moments leading up to the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525. What we now know is that all indications point to Lubitz as the perpetrator of the crash, locking the pilot out of the cockpit and setting the aircraft on a fatal trajectory into a remote mountain range in the French Alps. Every day, more details come to light, as the world struggles to make sense of why a 27-year-old German man would apparently choose to deliberately crash a plane with 150 people on board, including himself -- and remain so calm while doing it. When investigators searched Lubitz's home in Dusseldorf, they found medical leave notes \"slashed,\" suggesting Lubitz was hiding an illness or illnesses from his employers. The dates for which Lubitz was excused from work included the day of the crash, though investigators have not yet revealed the reason he was excused, if any reason was written on the notes by his doctor. We do know, from a German aviation source, that Lubitz passed his annual pilot recertification examination last summer. An official with Lufthansa, the parent company of the budget airline Germanwings, said that the exam only tests physical health, not psychological health. \"He was 100% fit to fly without restrictions,\" Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr told reporters at press conference last week. \"His flight performance was perfect. There was nothing to worry about.\" Spohr added that Lubitz had \"interrupted\" his training, which he began in 2008. That break lasted several months, he said, but that such an interruption isn't uncommon. Lubitz suffered from \"generalized anxiety disorder,\" with severe depression symptoms dating back to 2009, according to French newspaper Le Parisien. While the main medical clinic in Dusseldorf denies it was treating Lubitz for depression, German investigators found antidepressant medications in Lubitz's apartment, according to published reports that CNN has not yet been able to independently confirm. Die Welt, a German newspaper, over the weekend cited an unidentified senior investigator, who said Lubitz suffered from \"severe subjective burnout syndrome\" and severe depression. \"Someone who has a significant depressive episode or depressive disorder will oftentimes get an antidepressant alone, and many times will have a good resolution of those symptoms,\" CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta told Poppy Harlow Sunday on \"CNN Newsroom.\" \"People who relapse or develop more of what is called a psychotic depression in addition may have symptoms of psychosis. Maybe they could be having delusions or hallucinations, but the idea is having breaks with reality.\" One of the medications Lubitz was prescribed is said to be Agomelatine (an antidepressant medication), according to Le Perisien. Antidepressants can sometimes make people suicidal, especially those suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Other times, they can make patients manic or psychotic.

+{"article": "(CNN)An Indiana jury sentenced a woman who says she had a miscarriage to 20 years in prison. In 2013, Purvi Patel showed up at a hospital emergency room suffering from severe vaginal bleeding. According to court documents, at first she denied that she had been pregnant but later told doctors that she had a miscarriage and delivered a stillborn fetus which, she said, she placed in a bag in a dumpster. Patel was later charged with feticide and felony neglect of a dependent, though these charges are decidedly contradictory. \"Feticide\" would require Patel to have terminated a pregnancy while the fetus was still in the womb. On the other hand, \"felony neglect of a dependent\" requires delivering a live fetus and then neglecting it. As Amanda Marcotte of Slate pointed out in February, Patel \"was convicted both of killing a baby and killing a fetus.\" The only thing more preposterous than this is that Patel was charged in the first place. The evidence against her has been shaky from the start. Initially, police questioned Patel when she was still in the hospital without an attorney present. Prosecutors would later introduce text messages indicating that Patel had purchased miscarriage-inducing drugs, but there was no evidence Patel took the drugs. In fact, they didn't show up in blood tests just after she miscarried. Nonetheless, after five hours of deliberation, a jury convicted Patel of two entirely contradictory crimes based on entirely circumstantial evidence. And on March 30, 2015, she was given a 30-year-sentence on the felony neglect charge, 10 of which were suspended. She'll serve a concurrent six-year sentence for feticide. Patel is the second pregnant woman to be charged under Indiana's anti-choice \"feticide\" law. In 2011, Bei Bei Shuai was charged with feticide after she attempted to commit suicide when she was eight months pregnant. In 2013, lawyers announced Shuai had reached a plea agreement just before her trial was set to begin. Still, both cases presented troubled pregnant women who needed help from medical authorities and their government. But Indiana's harsh anti-abortion laws, and the broader culture that seeks to control the decisions pregnant women can make about their own bodies, make women far less likely to reach out for this help. Conservatives like to say that women are the \"victims of abortion\" and that laws such as the Indiana \"feticide\" measure are intended to \"protect\" them. Years ago, the president of the anti-choice Susan B. Anthony List made assurances that the specter of women being prosecuted and jailed under anti-choice laws was nothing more than fearmongering by pro-choice activists. The website of the Ohio Right to Life association similarly argues that \"no one is interested in sending women to jail.\" And in fact, the Indiana \"feticide\" law was plainly intended to criminalize \"knowing or intentional termination of another's pregnancy.\" But there's no escaping the reality it has been used to turn pregnant women into criminals. So much for not sending women to jail. Those who care about the rights of pregnant women should be deeply concerned.

Soon after, the court changed the jail sentence to a fine of 7,000 Turkish lira or about $2,700 each. Cartoonists Bahadir Baruter and Ozer Aydogan draw for the weekly satirical magazine Penguen. Founded in 2002 with a weekly average of 65,000 readers, the irreverent comic book -- similar in many ways to the French magazine Charlie Hebdo -- regularly skewers Turkish politicians. A defamation suit was filed against an August cover of Penguen in which a cartoon figure of Erdogan is welcomed to the presidential palace by a public servant. Erdogan tells him, \"But this is so dry.

While the court ruled Wednesday in favor of Erdogan, a full-length explanation of the verdict will be released in a week to 10 days. It is so far unclear whether the judge ruled that the speech bubbles or the \"gay hand gesture\" or both were an insult. The ruling comes amid an increase in criminal cases lodged against journalists, students and public figures for \"defamation against a public officer.\" In 2014, Turkey was ranked one of the world's worst jailers of journalists by the media watchdog group Reporters Without Borders and its press status \"not free\" by Freedom House. The Council of Europe's commissioner for human rights, Nils Mui\u017enieks, expressed his concern about the ruling against Penguen as well as the surge in criminal cases against people accused of insulting Erdogan. \"This sentence is misguided and, along with a pattern of criminal prosecutions, sends a chilling message to media professionals and all those who want to exercise their right to free expression,\" Mui\u017enieks said. Ann Harrison of freedom of press advocacy group PEN International told CNN, \"We have long called for decriminalization of defamation, particularly of state officials, as to criminalize criticism of authorities severely stifles reporting and public debate.\" Harrison noted that special mandates from the United Nations, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and Organization of American States have called for the abolishment of criminal defamation laws.

The citadel of Ait-Ben-Haddou in Morocco near Ouarzazate (pronounced Wa-za-zat) was chosen as the location, and is one of the most popular film-making destinations in the region. And scenes set in the ancient city of Astapor, which was a big part of the final episode of season three, was filmed in Essaouira -- also in Morocco. But the creators of \"Game of Thrones\" were not the first to use the region's beauty as the backdrop for a major international production. More than a decade before them, Ridley Scott chose the North African country to film the gory glory of ancient Rome in his epic \"Gladiator\" starring Russell Crowe. And so did the producers of \"Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time\" which starred Jake Gyllenhaal.

According to Amine Tazi, who runs two of the town's biggest studios, foreign directors come for the dramatic light as well as the wide variety of landscapes. But Morocco's appeal goes far beyond the beautiful vistas.

+{"article": "(CNN)The tragic news that Germanwings Flight 9525 was deliberately crashed into the French Alps by a pilot deemed \"100% fit to fly\" challenges the common understanding of the phrase. Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said co-pilot Andreas Lubitz apparently \"wanted to destroy the aircraft,\" taking advantage of the pilot leaving the cockpit and most likely refusing to open the cabin door after activating the plane's descent. The CEO of Lufthansa -- of which Germanwings is a subsidiary -- said Lubitz had been \"fit to fly.\" But for most of us, the prosecutor's preliminary finding that the 28-year-old German purposefully caused the deaths of 150 people on March 24 puts him squarely outside that term. In fact \"fit to fly\" does not mean the pilot's psychological state has necessarily been assessed. Simon Mitchell is a pilot and visiting fellow at Cranfield University's Safety and Accident Investigation Centre in southern England. Over the last few years the aviation industry has been considering the amount of time spent examining pilots' skills compared to the time spent examining how they thought, Mitchell said. Many organizations had begun assessing the safety of particular airlines when considering which carriers their members should fly on, he said. \"It's not uncommon for those corporations to have in their assessment matrix a look at pilot selection procedures,\" Mitchell said. \"Increasingly we're looking at their all-round personalities and ability to work in teams and what they're like as people. \"Apart from 'do we want to ensure we haven't recruited somebody who might have some sort of mental disorder,' there's also a very good reason in a day-to-day way. You want to recruit somebody who works well in a team,\" he said. \"The airline industry is quite unique in the amount of trust and liability it places in the hands of a very small number of employees,\" Mitchell said. \"If you look at the value of the aircraft and the immeasurable value of the lives being flown in that aircraft, you come up to a huge number -- in the hundreds of millions, if not billions -- of dollars of risk associated with that asset. In effect, a medium to large sized company is being placed in the hands of a few employees. \"It is important that these airlines take a great deal of care -- not just about whether that pilot can fly -- but how fit that person is to carry that sort of responsibility.\" On Thursday, Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said the company's pilots did not undergo regular or routine psychological testing once they were flying. But he said Lufthansa did consider an applicant's psychological state, along with other factors, when hiring pilots. \"We don't only look at competence, but we also give a lot of room to psychological capabilities,\" Spohr said. The pilot and co-pilot on Germanwings Flight 9525 had passed the test the airline used to evaluate applicants, he said. But Mitchell said aviation regulations only required a physical and not a psychiatric medical examination, looking at a potential pilot's fitness to fly in terms of factors such as", "summary": "On Thursday the Marseille prosecutor said Flight 9525's co-pilot deliberately crashed .

+{"article": "Baghdad, Iraq (CNN)Joint Iraqi forces have started what they believe will be the conclusive push to retake the Iraqi city of Tikrit from ISIS, a paramilitary force participating in the offensive said Tuesday. The forces have started \"the decisive operation\" to liberate Tikrit just over a week after the overall operation began, advancing toward the city from several directions, according to a statement from the predominantly Shiite paramilitary force Hashd Al-Shaab. ISIS wasn't making it easy, however. The Sunni extremist group blew up a key bridge near Tikrit, preventing the joint Iraqi forces from using it to cross the Tigris River to approach the city from the east. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered Iraqi forces on March 1 to retake Tikrit and Salahuddin province. Tikrit, best known to Westerners as the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, fell in June to ISIS, which has captured parts of Iraq and Syria for what it says is its Islamic caliphate. In the past few days, forces progressed roughly 50 miles (80 kilometers) down one road toward the city and, by Monday, were about a mile from its center. ISIS fighters have retreated toward the city center from frontline positions, Hashd Al-Shaab's media office said Tuesday. Al-Shaab's forces appear to be leading the fight for Tikrit, with support from the Iraqi army and Sunni tribesmen. Also assisting is Iran, which has provided advisers, weapons and ammunition to the Iraqi government. According to the Pentagon, there may be Iranians operating heavy artillery and rocket launchers as well. There have been several failed attempts to recapture Tikrit since the second half of 2014. If Iraq regains control of the city, it could mean that retaking Mosul -- a city 10 times bigger -- is possible. The Tikrit offensive involves around 30,000 fighters.

+{"article": "(CNN)Pablo Picasso once asked: \"Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face or what's behind it?\" Jessica Todd Harper's photo book \"The Home Stage\" does all three simultaneously. \"The Home Stage\" contains intimate, psychological portraits that Harper has created of herself, her family and friends, and their children. The book weaves in some photos of other people's families as well, and includes writing by Alain De Botton and Alison Nordstrom. Using her camera like a paintbrush to stroke the canvas that is her environment, Harper explores the experiences of parenting and childhood. As a mother to twin sons and a daughter, her photos contain a wide range of raw emotion, ranging from comfort and conflict to sleepiness and satisfaction. Harper's first photo book, \"Interior Exposure,\" focused on the early years of her marriage and adult family life. She says her latest book is like a natural segue, as \"The Home Stage\" includes many photos of children. The title -- \"The Home Stage\" -- has more than one particular meaning or reference. \"One is to convey that stage in life when you're anchored to the home with young children,\" Harper said. \"It also references how the home is the first stage in which children learn how to live in every situation. In my particular pictures, many of them have a stage-like quality. There's reference to tableau vivant of the past, these constructed images.\" Harper's mother was a big fan of the arts, and she would take young Harper and her sister to local art museums where they would copy paintings by hand, progressing from crayons to charcoal and, eventually, to pastels. \"I wanted to be just like Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent; those were the artists that I would copy a lot as a child,\" she said. \"I think those images got very much stuck into my deep psyche.\" She emphasizes that her photos are not the everyday snapshots that many parents post on Facebook -- the photos of children at various stages in their lives, attending birthday parties or riding tricycles. The book's pictures \"aren't documents,\" Harper said. \"They're making everyday moments have an eternal quality. It reminds us of our more general purpose in life, the meaning in everyday small things.\" The combination of Harper's color palette and the use of natural light fills every inch of her photos with rich detail. Many of Harper's photos contain several generations of her family, highlighting connections between the present, past and future. While the people Harper photographs are predominantly those most familiar with her, she makes an effort to not allow her camera to completely consume the lives of her subjects. \"I try to do a very good job of not being overbearing. ... I bring out the camera only when I have a very specific idea in mind. My children know that I'm an artist, I'm a photographer. They know that, but I don't think that they see that even in the top 10 of the ways that they relate to me, it's not as subjects,\" she", "summary": "In her photo book \"The Home Stage,\" Jessica Todd Harper explores parenting and childhood .

And, Harrison regularly attended services at a local church for a decade, before leaving in 2012, according to the church's pastor. Now, Harrison is charged with armed assault with intent to murder, aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. He's also facing multiple weapons charges. Harrison is accused of shooting one of his students in the head. While he was working as \"dean of academy\" at English High, Harrison was also running a marijuana distribution enterprise, according to Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney, David Bradley. At an arraignment hearing Thursday, Bradley said the 55-year-old now-former dean shot a 17-year-old student he had allegedly hired to sell marijuana. The teenager, who called Harrison \"Rev\" told authorities he was regularly mentored by Harrison, according to police documents. Bradley said in a news release that the two got into a dispute after leaving Harrison's home Tuesday evening. They were walking along a street when Harrison then \"produced a handgun, pointed it at the back of the victim's head and fired,\" Bradley said in a news release. The incident was captured on surveillance footage, but the police have not released it. The teen, who has not been named by police yet, was shot behind the right ear, according to a police report. He is expected to survive his injuries, Bradley's release said. Harrison had worked in various positions with the Boston Public Schools since 2010. He had been \"dean of academy\" at English High School since January 5, where \"he provided services, like finding housing for homeless students or social services or disciplinary alternatives to suspension,\" said Denise Snyder, a representative for Boston Public Schools. His employment has been \"terminated effective immediately,\" Snyder said. The Rev. Dr. Gregory Groover, pastor of the Charles Street AME Church where Harrison attended services said the allegations against Harrison aren't consistent with the man he knows. \"I was stunned beyond description,\" Groover said when he heard about Harrison's arrest. Groover said Harrison was already an ordained Baptist minister when he came to the Charles Street AME Church. He recalled Harrison usually attended services alone, but he \"got along with everyone.\" \"He seemed to consistently care with a deep heart for saving young people who were in the streets or gang related, prison-involved,\" Groover said. \"That was the population that his life seemed to center around.\" A not guilty plea was automatically entered on Harrison's behalf. He posted $250,000 bail and is under house arrest, according to police documents. He has been ordered to \"stay away and have no contact with the victim\" and wear a GPS monitor, the DA's release said. He is scheduled to be back in court on April 6.

Mancini, the man who led Manchester City to its first Premier League title in 44 years back in 2012 says Pellegrini is \"lucky\" to have inherited the side he left behind after being sacked exactly a year to the day since winning England's top division.

The bulldozing of the archaeological site of Nimrud marked a new step in the cultural cleansing underway in Iraq. These acts are a deliberate attack against civilians, minorities, heritage sites and traditions. In the minds of terrorists, murder and destruction of culture are inherently linked. It is appalling to see the ravages of this violent extremism in a region that is a cradle of civilization, whose temples, palaces and frescoes have born witness to the glory of Iraq and Mesopotamia for the last 3,000 years. It is important we understand the true nature of this conflict. This war against culture is a war against people. It is part of a strategy to crush free thinking and to ensure domination through oppression. This is why extremists attack schools, media, or other places of culture. Through modern methods of communication and information, they use warped learning and distorted academic texts to hijack young minds. They forbid girls to go to school, kill journalists and vandalize museums: all symbols that embody freedom of thought and respect for cultural diversity. There can be no justification whatsoever for the systematic destruction of the heritage of humanity, and I wholeheartedly support the many religious leaders who have taken such a firm position denouncing these destructions and the perverted use of religion. When culture is under attack, we must respond with more knowledge, and with ever greater effort to work to explain the importance of humanity's shared heritage. This is why we appeal to all cultural institutions, museums, journalists, professors, and scientists to share knowledge widely about the Mesopotamian civilization. We need to remind \u200eall of the history of this land which led the Islamic golden age. And we also call on all people everywhere -- and especially youth, in Iraq and elsewhere -- to claim this heritage as their own. Pre-Islamic heritage in Iraq belongs to all Iraqis, just as the Pyramids are written into the identity of all Egyptians. What is happening goes far beyond the domain of archaeologists and discourse on the \"irreparable loss of treasures of humanity.\" What is happening is a security issue. The deliberate destruction of cultural heritage is a war crime. We see how terrorists are using such destruction to destabilize populations, spread terror, and encourage violence. We see also how extremists use heavy military vehicles to transport artifacts from looted\u200e sites, and how illicit trafficking is directly funding terrorism. With this in mind, we have joined forces with all partners and neighboring countries to halt these crimes. The acceleration of such violence must be met with an acceleration of global solidarity and action.

Today, I'm certain they are not saying those things about the talented 49er linebacker Chris Borland, the latest NFLer to quit.

Libya's internationally recognized government has blamed \"ISIS militias\" for the attack Friday in which the Al-Ghani oil field was set on fire. The kidnapped foreigners were working for VAOS, an Austrian-owned oil services company whose headquarters are in Tripoli, the Libyan capital. They include four Filipinos, an Austrian, a Czech and a Ghanaian, according to the Philippine foreign ministry. The Bangladeshi government said one of its citizens was also taken hostage. The nationality of the ninth worker was unclear. The abductions come amid Libya's deteriorating security situation in which Islamic militias, some of them pledging allegiance to the extremist group ISIS, have thrived. Egypt carried out airstrikes against ISIS militants in Libya last month after the killings of Egyptian Christians who had been kidnapped while working in a Libyan city. The Philippine foreign ministry said Monday that its Tripoli embassy had \"stepped up coordination\" with the Austrian company and Libyan authorities \"to locate the abducted Filipinos and ensure their safe and immediate release.\" Martin Weiss, a spokesman for the Austrian foreign ministry tweeted Monday that \"credible sources\" had confirmed that the Austrian citizen and other international workers were in the hands of ISIS \"terrorists.\" The attack on Al-Ghani is the latest in a recent spate of violence by militants targeting oil fields in Libya.

VAOS wasn't immediately available for comment Tuesday.

+{"article": "(CNN)Blame Joshuah Purdy Brown. Or, if you prefer, P.T. Barnum. It's thanks to those 19th-century promoters that the elephant rose to become the circus's king of beasts -- the living symbol of \"The Greatest Show on Earth.\" \"This is something that has been a big deal historically,\" says circus historian Janet Davis, an American studies professor at the University of Texas. Traditionally, she observes, elephants are the stars of the parade when circuses come to town. There was even a 19th-century phrase, \"to see the elephant,\" a euphemism used by soldiers for seeing battle, recognizing the wonder and rarity of these giant animals. On Thursday, Ringling Brothers, part of the Feld Entertainment firm, announced that it would be ending use of elephants by 2018. It's a startling change for the show, which has made the giant pachyderms a centerpiece of its presentation for decades and weathered criticism for their treatment from animal rights groups. CNNMoney: The Greatest Show on Earth will soon be without elephants . Brown was perhaps the first to make elephants a part of the circus atmosphere. The modern circus only dates back to around 1770, the invention of an Englishman named Philip Astley, who added jugglers, acrobats and clowns to his equestrian show. (The term \"circus\" comes from the ancient Romans, although the Roman version was closer to a sporting event featuring soldiers, and it could be quite bloody.) Astley's circus was such a huge success that he created one in Paris, and his students and acolytes -- knowing a good idea when they saw one -- brought the circus to other cities. To this day, the ringmaster wears elegant riding clothes because of the circus' equestrian roots. Brown, a shrewd marketer who was also responsible for making the circus a tented traveling show, added a \"menagerie\" to the event to help combat the form's sometimes seedy reputation. \"Circuses in this era were really for adults, and not marketed for children at all,\" says Davis. Brown's show, by adding a menagerie tent to the circus tent, could market their shows as educationally uplifting by \"showing people the wonders of the animal world,\" she adds. By the 1850s, elephants were regular circus attractions. Then came Barnum. In the early 1870s, the clever entrepreneur, who had made his fortune with such acts as the \"Feejee Mermaid,\" singer Jenny Lind and a New York-based museum of curiosities, created P.T. Barnum's Museum, Menagerie and Circus. \"They had exotic animals from the four corners of the earth, and you had to go through the menagerie first and then you went to your seat in the big top,\" Deborah Walk, curator of collections for the Ringling Museums, told PBS for a 2010 documentary called \"Circus.\" \"There was no way to miss the menagerie -- it was all part of the educational outreach to get people to go to the show.\" Barnum and his partner made the circus an efficient business, running it on the railroad to far-flung destinations and transporting their animals long distances. \"Elephants become this incredibly important signature part of the circus,\"", "summary": "Elephants have been symbolic of the circus since the 19th century .

+{"article": "(CNN)Last summer, amid startling news reports of manipulation, mismanagement and possibly death caused by failures at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Congress came together and passed legislation to overhaul veterans' access to health care. I was proud to sponsor the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 (the Choice Act), and deliver good news to veterans: They would have a choice when it comes to accessing health care they deserve, and many would have the option of seeing their local physician. Now, the VA is trying to take the choice away. A mere six months after the Choice Act was signed into law, and only three months after veterans began to receive their Choice Cards, the President's budget attempts to reallocate the law's emergency funds that are solely meant to pay for veterans' health care in their communities. The VA says these funds aren't being used quickly enough because veterans aren't interested in getting care from their local physicians. That could not be further from the truth. Thousands of veterans are struggling to access the care they were promised through the Choice Act because of the VA's flawed implementation of the law and foolish interpretation of the 40-mile rule in the distance criteria. When Congress passed the Choice Act, the intent was that veterans be allowed to access local health care if they cannot receive the VA care they need within 40 miles of their home, or their wait time for an appointment is more than 30 days. Unfortunately, the VA decided to narrow the interpretation of the 40-mile rule, choosing to take into account only the distance of a VA medical facility from a veteran's home and not whether the VA facility can actually provide the services the veteran needs. Veterans are being told they cannot use their Choice Cards because they live within 40 miles of a VA facility, even though that facility does not offer the care they require. The VA is denying the access the law was intended to provide and forcing veterans to choose between traveling hours to a VA medical facility, paying out of pocket or going without care altogether. Veterans simply want what they were promised in the Choice Act: the choice to access the care they deserve in their community.

But the 34-year-old captain of Germanwings Flight 9525 was also a loving father, his grandmother said. \"I am devastated,\" said his grandmother, who asked for privacy for the family. \"His death came so sudden and it leaves my whole family in shock.\" Sondenheimer is one of 150 people who died last week when the plane crashed in the French Alps on its way from Barcelona, Spain, to Dusseldorf, Germany. Authorities have accused the plane's co-pilot of deliberately downing the jet, but are still investigating what caused the crash and trying to pinpoint what his motive may have been. Investigators haven't officially released the captain's name, and in many German media reports he's described simply as \"Patrick S.\" But several relatives confirmed his identity to CNN. He had logged more than 6,000 hours of flight time, had been with Germanwings since May 2014 and had worked with Lufthansa and Condor before that, the Germanwings press office said. The married father of a 3-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter switched to flying for the budget airline so he could be closer to his family, the Independent reported, citing German media. In a leaked transcript that purportedly documents the flight's final moments, Sondenheimer -- locked out of the cockpit after a bathroom break -- pleads with the co-pilot to let him back in as the plane plunges down toward the French Alps. \"Open the damn door!\" he says at one point in a recording from one of the plane's so-called black boxes, according to a report published by German tabloid newspaper Bild. The recording, according to Bild, also includes the sounds of loud metallic bangs that sound like someone trying to knock down the cockpit door. \"He deserves the German Medal of Honor for his heroic attempt to break into the cockpit,\" his grandmother told CNN. As details emerge about Sondenheimer and Flight 9525's final moments, a chorus of social media users has also hailed him as a hero. Over the weekend, Sondenheimer's father and other family members visited a memorial for the victims in the French Alps. Francois Balique, mayor of Le Vernet, met with them there. He described the captain's father as a broken man, with many questions about why the crash had happened.

In 2014,while the winner of Wimbledon received $2,600,000 and the Augusta Masters champion picked up $1,620,000, when Pearson won gold in the Olympics three years ago she received zero prize money. \"People come for the entertainment from the athletes -- we are entertaining them, we are entertainers\" the Australian, who set an Olympic record of 12.48 seconds in her 2012 winning run in 2012, told CNN anchor Alex Thomas. \"Entertainers get paid every single time they step up onto a stage, and that's exactly what we're doing in a sporting sense.\" Billions might have tuned in to watch London's 2012 Olympic Games which saw over 10,000 athletes compete across 302 events in a battle for golden glory, but the International Olympic Committee's current policy is to (IOC) hand out gold, silver and bronze medals as well as a bouquet of flowers to athletes, but no financial remuneration. \"I can see why they don't, and I'm sure they want to keep it like that, they want to keep it pure,\" added Pearson. \"To be honest we're all still going to turn up whether we get paid or not. But the Games wouldn't happen without the athletes.\" It also wouldn't happen without sponsors. The IOC has just signed a new eight-year sponsorship deal with car manufacturing giant Toyota -- reportedly worth just under $1 billion -- adding to their list of partners that include McDonald's and Coca-Cola. Athletes usually fund themselves through sponsorship deals, government support, grants and part-time work. In 2012 only half of American track and field athletes -- who were ranked in the top 10 in their nation -- earned more than $15,000 a year from their sport. The fifth fastest 100m hurdler in history, Pearson told the Australia's Daily Telegraph in 2013 how a year after her Olympic gold medal in London she still wasn't attracting enough sponsors. No stranger to hard work -- the hurdler sometimes vomits after intense training sessions -- she decided to chase down her own deals rather than sit on her hands waiting for private sponsorship. While she has some support from Qantas, AMP and Adidas, appearance fees and prize money in the Diamond League -- an annual series of track and field meetings -- also provides revenue earning potential for the 28-year-old. Now targeting more medal success at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Pearson achieved a resounding win at the Queensland Track Classic on March 7 with a time of 12.74s. Even so the issue of Olympic prize money still clearly grates. \"I think the times have changed from 1896 to 2016, I think it might be time to at least have a think about it, and discuss it because there's no such thing as the Olympics without athletics or athletes,\" said Pearson.", "summary": "Olympic 100m gold medal winner Sally Pearson says IOC should think about paying athletes .

+{"article": "(CNN)It turns out that Jupiter may be more than just an enormous ball of gas spinning a few hundred million miles farther out in the solar system. We earthlings might have the giant planet to thank for our very existence. Two scientists are suggesting that the inner solar system once played host to a bunch of \"super-Earths\" -- planets that were larger than our own but smaller than Neptune. Jupiter, however, put an end to those early occupiers of the inner orbits, bulldozing in and sweeping them into the sun, according to a paper published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Jupiter's epic, planet-shattering journey toward the sun and back out again laid the foundations for the creation of Earth and the other smaller planets nearby -- Mercury, Venus and Mars. \"Our work suggests that Jupiter's inward-outward migration could have destroyed a first generation of planets and set the stage for the formation of the mass-depleted terrestrial planets that our solar system has today,\" said Konstantin Batygin of Caltech, one of the authors of the paper. The theory attempts to explain why our solar system is a bit of an oddball in our galactic neighborhood. Most other systems that have planets orbiting around a star similar to our sun look very different. They generally have at least one planet significantly larger than Earth that's in a closer orbit than Mercury's. But they don't have many objects farther out. Maybe that's because of Jupiter's destructive romp in the early history of the solar system. \"There is no reason to think that the dominant mode of planet formation throughout the galaxy should not have occurred here,\" Batygin said. \"It is more likely that subsequent changes have altered its original makeup.\" He and his co-author -- Gregory Laughlin of University of California, Santa Cruz -- are building on a scenario of Jupiter's migration that was previously put forward by other scientists. Known as the Grand Tack scenario, it describes Jupiter getting drawn toward the sun in the early era of the solar system thanks to its huge mass. What stops it from being sucked right into the sun is Saturn. The two gas giants start to exert gravitational influence on one another, entering a planetary dance that eventually sends them back farther out into the solar system. Batygin and Laughlin suggest that during its inward journey, Jupiter dragged a load of planetary building blocks, known as planetesimals, along with it. That sent the planetesimals smashing into debris in the inner solar system, causing them to break apart and fall into the sun at a faster rate. The scientists say they ran a simulation of what would happen if there were also a number of super-Earths in the vicinity as well. They found that a wave of decaying planetesimals would steer the super-Earths into the sun over the course of 20,000 years. \"It's a very effective physical process,\" Batygin said. \"You only need a few Earth masses worth of material to drive tens of Earth masses worth of planets into the", "summary": "Scientists: An epic migration by Jupiter led to destruction of \"super-Earths\" The planet-shattering journey laid foundations for Earth, they say ."}

Olympus started selling its TJF-Q180V duodenoscope in 2010, but the FDA didn't notice until late 2013 or early 2014 that the company had never asked for clearance to put it on the market, according to Karen Riley, deputy director of strategy for the FDA's Office of External Affairs. \"Why didn't we notice it? I don't know,\" Riley said. \"Can you imagine a prescription drug getting out on the market that didn't go through the approval process?\" asked Dr. Steven Nissen, the chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, who's testified to Congress about device safety problems. \"Devices need to be regulated more vigorously. This is really disturbing.\" In a statement, Olympus said it didn't think needed the FDA's permission to sell the device, but now at the request of the agency, it has applied for that permission. That application is still pending. Seven hospital patients at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center were infected with the deadly superbug CRE -- also known as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae -- from October to January, according to hospital officials. Two of those patients died. The patients caught CRE after routine endoscopic treatments. Hospital officials believe two medical scopes that still carried the deadly bacteria even after disinfection guidelines were followed were the cause of the superbug outbreak. The medical center has contacted 179 others who had endoscopic procedures between October and January and is offering them home tests to screen for the bacteria. Four other patients at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles have also been infected with the superbug linked to a contaminated duodenoscope, according to a statement released by the hospital. The medical scope was used in all four patients, between August and January 2015. Sixty-four other patients who had a duodenoscope procedure with that particular scope are being informed by mail, \"out of an abundance of caution.\" According to FDA rules, a manufacturer must seek clearance for a new model if it includes changes that \"could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.\" The TJF-Q180V duodenoscope, used to check out ducts in the gastrointestinal system, includes a modification to the exact part of the device that's been implicated in the superbug outbreaks. With this new model, Olympus sealed up that part of the device, known as the elevator channel, hoping to make it more impervious to infection. \"The company clearly made these modifications to make the device safer, but it seems to be that it wasn't safer,\" Riley said. Last year, at the FDA's request, Olympus applied for permission to sell the scope. That application is still pending. Riley emphasized that duodenoscope procedures can be lifesaving, so the agency doesn't want to take them off the market. \"More than 500,000 of these procedures are done every year in the U.S., and the risk of bacterial transmission is actually really very, very low,\" she said. \"We believe the benefits outweigh", "summary": "FDA official says Olympus never got permission to sell its endoscope .

The deaths of Napoleon Bonaparte, Simon Bolivar, King George III, King Faisal I and other prominent figures have been attributed to arsenic poisoning, the first paragraph of the 30-page complaint says. And, now, drinkers of some California wine have become \"unwitting 'guinea pigs' of arsenic exposure,\" thanks to the negligent and misleading actions of dozens of California wineries, according to the class action complaint filed March 19 on behalf of two California couples. The lawsuit does not include any allegations of physical injury or death due to arsenic consumption associated with drinking the wines named in the complaint. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages and a court order requiring the defendants disclose on the bottles the risks of consuming inorganic arsenic in wines and engage in \"corrective advertising\" regarding their conduct. News of the lawsuit, which broke last week, struck fear in the hearts of frugal wine consumers nationwide, prompting many to share lists on social media of labels named in the lawsuit, all but declaring the outcome a foregone conclusion. The complaint names 28 companies that represent 83 low-cost labels familiar to supermarket wine aisle shoppers: Cupcake, Franzia, Flipflop, Rex Goliath and Korbel, among others. Even the maker of Trader Joe's Charles Shaw Zinfandel varietal (affectionately known among fans as \"two-buck Chuck\"), was called out for allegedly failing to warn consumers that it contained \"dangerously\" high levels of inorganic arsenic. But should consumers start looking to other winemakers or other wine-producing states for gallon-sized bottles of zinfandel? Or is the lawsuit a fearmongering tactic being used to drum up business for the beverage-testing company used for the lawsuit, as some defendants and industry insiders have insinuated? Most of the defendants said their wine was safe to drink when contacted by CNN. Some declined to comment, citing the pending litigation. Others referred CNN to the Wine Institute, a California trade group that called the claims \"false and misleading.\" \"We are concerned that the irresponsible publicity campaign by the litigating party could scare the public into thinking that wine is not safe to consume, which is patently untrue,\" said the group, which represents 1,000 California wineries, including 10 of the defendants. The lawsuit alleges that three separate labs \"skilled in arsenic testing\" independently confirmed that the defendants produce wines containing \"dangerously\" high levels of inorganic arsenic, in some cases up to 500% more than what is considered acceptable. \"Put differently,\" the complaint states in bold letters, \"just a glass or two of these arsenic-contaminated wines a day over time could result in dangerous arsenic toxicity to the consumer.\" A spokesman from the public relations firm representing the plaintiffs and BeverageGrades, which performed the analysis, said the company is confident that its data is \"based on sound scientific research.\" Because the company expects testing methodology to be at issue in litigation, it declined to reveal specific data or testing methods. \"We understand the public interest in this story and look forward to resolving the litigation to make these", "summary": "A class-action lawsuit alleges some California wines contain unsafe levels of arsenic .

+{"article": "(CNN)Early Thursday -- during the ongoing protests that continue to shake Ferguson, Missouri -- two police officers were shot. Such violence and lawlessness should never be tolerated. But the unrest during which it occurred demonstrates that the people of Ferguson have lost all confidence in their police department. And the resignation of the police chief this week won't be enough to restore faith in law and order. Everyone in the department needs to step down so the department can be rebuilt from the ground up. It is easy to see why. After a police officer shot Michael Brown, the U.S. Department of Justice conducted an investigation into the Ferguson Police Department. What investigators found was a \"pattern and practice\" of discrimination against African-Americans. In a town with a black population of 67%, black people represented 85% of vehicle searches, 90% of the traffic violations and 93% of the arrests. There is no way to justify this. Now, the Department of Justice has an opportunity to gut the Ferguson Police Department and rebuild it from scratch. In fact, it's more than an opportunity: It's a necessity. In the court of law, there is an old closing argument that goes like this: You sit down, pour yourself a bowl of stew and find that the first piece of meat that you taste is rancid. You don't put just that piece aside; you throw out the whole bowl. Lawyers use this story to say that if you catch a witness lying about one thing, then you can't believe anything they say. Unfortunately, it is an analogy that can be applied to the Ferguson Police Department. The Department of Justice report revealing unquestionable racist bias that permeated the entire department cannot be ignored, and the problems it reveals cannot be fixed from the inside. If there are a few good cops in the Ferguson Police Department, they need to leave, and they need to go elsewhere to continue their proud law enforcement career without being overshadowed by their involvement in a poisoned organization. In fact, everyone in the Ferguson Police Department needs to leave, from the top to the bottom. The police department should be completely reconstituted under Department of Justice control in a manner that ensures that citizens of Ferguson receive the type of public service they pay for and deserve -- and more importantly, in a manner that protects their rights, not only as citizens of Ferguson, Missouri, but as constitutionally protected citizens of our country. A completely rebuilt Ferguson Police Department, established with a charter to enforce the law with equality, could serve as an example for every law enforcement agency in the country. A new Ferguson Police Department could show what a concerted, roots-up effort toward nonracist behavior in a police department can be.

The message to the Cambridge University physicist was asking for help working out the dynamics of hair, specifically the shape of ponytails. Goldstein thought he'd \"won the Nigerian lottery.\" Poised to click delete, he scrolled through the message one more time and discovered it was from global consumer goods giant Unilever. Curiosity piqued, he met with a company representative, and the rest, as they say, is history. Assembling a team of balding physicists, Goldstein set out to tackle the subject, publishing their research in a peer review journal. It detailed the fluid mechanics of hair, drawing on a rich seam of scientific observation stretching back to Da Vinci. They even coined a new term: hairodynamics. Attention from the scientific community soon followed, and within a year they were collecting a Nobel Prize. An Ig Nobel Prize, that is. A satirical cousin to the more esteemed Swedish award, the Ig Nobel seeks to highlight research that first makes you laugh, then makes you think. This year marks their 25th anniversary, so what better time to celebrate the Ig Nobels' contribution to the research community? Every year thousands vie for the awards -- \"always sourced from the cheapest materials\" according to founder Marc Abrahams -- held at Harvard University. The ceremony is bathos at its finest. Winners receive their awards from genuine Nobel laureates, but speeches are curtailed by a screaming girl declaring her boredom. Each year a cast of professional singers and scientists perform a mini-opera. Last year's was set to Mozart and featured a chorus of microbial bacteria. Past recipients include a man who dressed up as a polar bear to scare reindeer and a study of homosexual necrophilia among mallard ducks (commended by Abrahams for \"its high literary quality\"). However, not all winners can have such high scientific kudos. The Ig Nobels skewered the U.S. Government in 2012, awarding them the Prize for Literature \"for issuing a report about reports about reports that recommends the preparation of a report about the report about reports about reports.\" You can read it here. In 2009 the Math Prize went to Gideon Gono, then head of Zimbabwe's Reserve Bank, for printing a Z$100 trillion note (while also printing 1c). Last year the Italian National Institute of Statistics landed the Economics Prize for bringing the country out of recession through the use of prostitutes, drugs and smuggling. (The Italian government ended up setting a precedent in Europe, with the UK soon including the so-called \"black economy\" in its figures -- national GDP jumped by 5% that quarter, equivalent to $15 billion.) As proved by the Ig Nobels, the line between ridiculous and serious research has always been blurred. This is no better reflected than in Dutch-British physicist Andre Geim. In 2000 Geim scooped the Ig Nobel for Biology for using magnets to levitate frogs.

+{"article": "(CNN)A shooting at a bar popular with expatriates in Mali on Saturday killed five people, including French and Belgian citizens, authorities said. One French citizen, one Belgian and three Malians were killed in the attack in the capital of Bamako, said Gabriel Toure, director of a local hospital. An additional eight people were wounded, he said. Authorities called the shooting a \"criminal and terrorist act.\" \"Mali remains committed to seeking peace and will not be intimidated by those who have no other motives than to do away (with) the prospects of peace and harmony amongst the Malians,\" the government said in a statement. A North African jihadist group, al-Murabitun, claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Mauritanian news agency Al Akhbar. The purported claim came in an audio message in which the group said it carried out the attack in retaliation for the killing of one of its leaders, Al Akhbar said. \"Al-Murabitun may be considered a regional competitor to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM),\" according to the Jamestown Foundation, a Washington-based research and analysis firm. The U.S. State Department said in January that al-Murabitun is a \"newly-formed\" militant group that has presence in northern Mali. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the victim from his country was 31 years old. French President Francois Hollande released a statement condemning the attack. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expressed his condolences to the victims' families in a news conference in Paris on Saturday. \"This is an act of cowardice,\" he said. \"But an act of opening fire in a restaurant filled with innocent civilians -- in the end, that only strengthens our resolve to fight terrorism in all of its forms, wherever it exists.\" The French Embassy in Bamako warned its citizens to be on alert if they go out in public. Though it's unclear whether any rebel group is responsible for the attack, Malian forces have battled Islamist militants in the northern part of the nation for years. Fabius said the Malian government was interrogating some suspects. Mali plunged into chaos after soldiers staged a coup three years ago. As a result, Tuareg fighters capitalized on the power vacuum to launch an insurgency that ended with their takeover of the north. After the Tuareg fighters seized the region, a power struggle erupted with local Islamist radicals. The extremists toppled the tribe and seized control of a large piece of northern Mali, an area the size of France. Since then, the nation has battled various rebel factions, mostly in the northern region, with the help of French and African forces.

+{"article": "(CNN)When Vladimir Putin reappears, he does it with style -- and an in-your-face attitude. The Russian President attended a large concert in Moscow's Red Square on Wednesday to commemorate the first anniversary of his country's annexation of the Ukrainian territory of Crimea, an act condemned by many in the international community as illegal. Only Putin doesn't call it annexation. He calls it reunification. According to the presidential website, Putin attended the \"We're Together!\" concert and meeting \"celebrating the first anniversary of Crimea and Sevastopol's reunification with Russia.\" The peninsula became part of the Soviet Union in 1917, following the Russian Revolution. But in 1991, following the breakup of the Soviet Union, it became part of a newly independent Ukraine. On March 16, 2014, Crimea held a referendum on whether to continue as part of Ukraine or to cast its lot with the Russian Federation. The result was overwhelming, at least among those voting: 95% said they wanted to become part of Russia. A mere two days later, Russia annexed the territory. Putin said later that he had been planning the move even before the referendum was held. \"Friends!\" the President said in Red Square on Wednesday, according to his website, \"Exactly one year ago, Russia, which we are speaking of so much right now, and the Russian people showed amazing togetherness and patriotism in supporting the aspirations of the people of Crimea and Sevastopol to return to their native shores.\" The issue, he said, was \"our history, our spirituality and our statehood, the things that make us a single people and single united nation.\" Also participating, the website said, were \"popular Russian music groups and singers.\" Putin was recently out of sight without explanation for 10 days, during which time various meetings were canceled. He reappeared only Monday. Lest anyone doubt he was still in charge, Putin, who prides himself on his fitness, has been displaying a different form of muscle this week -- the military kind. He mobilized Russia's entire Northern Fleet in a military exercise that reportedly ranks among the largest since the breakup of the Soviet Union. NATO reported that, on Tuesday, Estonian radar detected an unspecified number of aircraft over the Baltic Sea. NATO sent jets to identify the planes and later reported that \"the Russian military aircraft\" flew on into the airspace of the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.", "summary": "Putin attends concert in Red Square to celebrate anniversary of Crimean annexation .

+{"article": "(CNN)A video appears online. In it, fraternity members from your university are chanting a hateful, racist song about lynching African-Americans. The video goes viral. You're president of the university. Imagine being in that situation. What would you do? There are two ways to answer the question. The first is in the moment of crisis. The second is about the long term. As most everyone knows by now, David Boren, president of the University of Oklahoma, faced just this situation Monday. And I've been thinking about it intensely, not only because I care about race and civic leadership in America, but also because Boren was my first boss, when he was a U.S. senator. I'm not from Oklahoma but ended up working for Boren through a college internship. He was a mentor to me during my years in Washington, and a model for me when he left the Beltway to be of greater use and service as an educator. Though we haven't talked since the crisis broke, I see familiar patterns of leadership. Boren responded to the crisis swiftly, with a statement that went viral. Boren told the students from Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) he had a message for them: \"You are disgraceful. You have violated all that we stand for. You should not have the privilege of calling yourselves Sooners\" (the OU nickname). Boren went on to sever all ties between OU and SAE. The national fraternity closed the local chapter. Later, Boren said he'd be glad if the students in the video left campus because \"we don't provide student services for bigots.\" The next day he expelled two of them. His actions have resonated across the country. On social media, people shocked by the video find themselves also stunned by Boren's response. Why? Because he did something rare in public life today. He expressed a decisive, judgmental view with moral clarity. Then he followed through. His statements have been free of mushy lawyer-talk or euphemism. He's led authentically, from the heart. Of course, people have carped. Some question whether Boren has the legal authority, as head of a public institution, to expel students on the basis of their free speech, even racist hate speech. Some lament that what he should have branded as disgraceful was the students' actions, not the students themselves. Legitimate concerns, perhaps. The First Amendment question, certainly, is being debated by legal scholars. But these concerns are eclipsed by the bigger picture. Boren wasn't just condemning wrongdoers; he was shifting social norms for all. A cynic might consider laughable a refrain from Boren's statement about \"real Sooners.\" Boren said that real Sooners are not racists or bigots; they believe in equal opportunity, treat people with mutual respect and love each other like family. A cynic might say Oklahoma is a state both very white and very red, not known for flying the banner of anti-racism. Indeed, the original Sooners were the white settlers who raced in to claim land that had been wrested from Native Americans.

+{"article": "(CNN)The United States and Great Britain have pulled their last forces out of strife-torn Yemen, raising fears that the failed state will become even more of a breeding ground for terror groups plaguing the Middle East and the West. Over the weekend, the United States evacuated the last of its special operations forces -- including Navy SEALs and Army Delta Force troops -- amid the deteriorating security situation in the country, the U.S. State Department said. On Monday, a security source in the region familiar with the situation in Yemen told CNN's Nic Robertson that British special forces had also left Yemen in the last few days. The British Ministry of Defence declined to comment. The U.S. move came a day after terrorists bombed two mosques in the capital, Sanaa, on Friday, killing at least 137 and wounding 357 others, according to Yemen's state-run Saba news agency. The terror group ISIS, based in Syria, claimed responsibility for the attack. It also followed months of fighting between government forces and Houthi rebels, who on Sunday seized the international airport in Taiz. The rebels now control both the airport and Sanaa. Yemen has been a key U.S. ally in the fight against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, allowing U.S. drones and special operations forces to stalk terrorists in the country. Now, that arrangement is in tatters, along with any semblance of peace in the Middle Eastern nation. While State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said Saturday that the United States would continue to \"take action to disrupt continuing, imminent threats to the United States and our citizens,\" the move left some wondering what role the U.S. could play with no forces on the ground. The country closed its embassy in Sanaa last month. \"I don't think there is an active role for the U.S. other than intelligence and trying to see where the dust is going to settle,\" said U.S. Sen. Angus King, a Maine Independent who serves on the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees. That raises the possibility of the already unstable country becoming an even more fertile environment for terror groups to collaborate, grow and export violence, according to Robin Wright, a security and defense analyst with the Woodrow Wilson Center. \"It's becoming much like Syria, much like Afghanistan was at the peak of its instability,\" she said. On Sunday, U.N. officials said the country appeared to be on a \"rapid downward spiral.\" The Security Council again deplored the violence and called for an end to the fighting and for Houthi rebels to return government facilities to the elected government of President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi. But officials said recent events \"seemed to be leading the country further away from a peaceful settlement and towards the edge of civil war.\" In addition to counterterrorism issues, all sorts of geopolitical influences are at work in Yemen -- chief among them the regional power play between regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia.

+{"article": "(CNN)And breathe. Real Madrid squeezed through to the quarterfinals of the European Champions League -- but only just. The 10-time-winner escaped a humiliating exit from the tournament after going down 4-3 at home to German side Schalke allowing it to sneak through 5-4 on aggregate. Had it not been for Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice to ensure his place as the record goalscorer in European football competitions, then it could have been far more embarrassing. As it was, Real's players were met with the waving of handkerchiefs and whistles on an evening which threatened to spiral from disaster into ignominy. Real's malaise has been well documented but this latest chapter, where it was hugely fortunate to escape with its hands still on the trophy, offered yet more questions than answers. Carlo Ancelotti's team have endured a difficult few weeks, but if his players had arrived at the Bernabeu hoping to silence the sniping critics then they failed miserably. This was a dire display from one of the most expensively assembled teams on the planet, who but for arguably the world's greatest player, would have succumbed to one of the most embarrassing defeats in the club's illustrious history. Make no bones about it - Real was rumbled. Schalke, produced a fine performance, full of courage, energy and a zest which their opponent could scarcely match. Had it not been for one player on the opposing side then perhaps this would have been one of the most famous nights in Schalke's history. Unfortunately, that one player was Ronaldo. As lethargic and lackadaisical as Real was throughout the contest, Ronaldo's two goals, both headers, ensured its place in the next round. Nobody has scored more goals than Ronaldo in European club football -- his 77th and 78th taking him to the top of the chart ahead of his nemesis, Lionel Messi. His latest efforts may not have been the most spectacular, but they were so very precious given the nature of the tie. Leading 2-0 from the first leg in Gelsenkirchen, Real was firm favorite to progress. No team in the history of the competition had lost the first leg 2-0 at home and managed to progress -- and Schalke appeared unlikely to alter that statistic. Coached by Roberto di Matteo, who led Chelsea to Champions League glory in 2012, Schalke arrived hoping to give a good account of themselves, according to the Italian. Fifth in the German league, this was hardly a team which was supposed to send Madrid into a meltdown -- and yet that's what came to fruition. But, given the recent form of the Carlo Ancelotti's side, perhaps this was not so unexpected. Last weekend's league defeat at Athletic Bilbao brought about a new wave of criticism for Ancelotti. Toppled from the summit by arch rival Barcelona, Real has struggled in recent weeks for consistency by its own high standards.

+{"article": "Rome (CNN)As the dust settles after Italy's high court ruled on Friday to overturn the latest guilty verdicts for Amanda Knox, 27, and her former Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 31, in the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, many questions still linger in the case. Knox and Sollecito were tried together and convicted of murder by two separate courts. But now they are free now, forever cleared. There won't be any civil trials like in the O.J. Simpson case because, according to Italian penal code, Italy's high court decision is final across all courts in the country. According to Italian lawyer Nicola Canestrini, who works on extradition and criminal cases between Italy and other countries, . \"The high court decision is seen as the truth for the whole system.\" What now for the Kerchers? Francesco Maresca, lawyer for the Kercher family, told CNN that his clients are disappointed with the final ruling. \"We expected more from the Italian judicial system,\" he said. \"This is a failure to find justice for Meredith.\" Maresca says the Kerchers could try to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights and argue that Italy failed to find those culpable of killing their beloved daughter and sister but they have yet to make that decision. \"If they think Italy hasn't fulfilled the duty, they could sue Italy,\" Canestrini told CNN. Such a claim could be made based on the final conviction handed down to Rudy Guede, a man from the Ivory Coast who was convicted for his role in Kercher's murder in 2008 in a fast-track trial that is still under seal. When the high court ruled definitively on his case in 2010, they wrote explicitly in their reasoning that he was one of three assailants but did not name who they were. Knox and Sollecito both spent four years in prison during their initial trial and first appeal. They applied to Italy's high court to be put under house arrest but because Knox was a foreigner and deemed a flight risk, they were both denied. Sollecito may now have cause to sue Italy for false imprisonment. Italy pays around \u20ac12 million every year for locking up people who are later cleared of charges, according to Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi who is introduced measures to reform the judicial system. But, Canestrini says if Sollecito at any time lied to investigators before he was arrested, he may forfeit his right to reimbursement for being held. Sollecito changed his story more than once before finally settling on an alibi with Knox, so a legal battle could focus on whether anything he told investigators led directly to his arrest. Canestrini also says that Knox could potentially sue Italy for one year of false imprisonment, but because she admittedly lied to investigators early on which led to her arrest, she would likely not have much of a case. \"Because she initially admitted to a role in the crime, she wouldn't likely win. If a suspect lies to investigators before they are arrested, it is difficult to prove they were falsely imprisoned,\"", "summary": "Knox and Sollecito were tried together and convicted of murder, but now cleared .

They may get to travel the world but the job isn't without its perils. Two years ago, for example, the father of Bernard Tomic, one of the most hyped players in the last decade, was found guilty of assaulting the player's former hitting partner, Thomas Drouet. Now, one of the longest lasting relationships -- and one of the highest profile -- has come to an end.

Williams wished him well.

They practiced together for the first time this week. \"I'm very excited about having Sascha in the team,\" Fissette told CNN.com in an email. \"Sascha is a great guy ... and has so much experience in working with Serena. \"I saw Sascha hit many times so I know he is just a very good tennis player.

Hernandez is on trial in Fall River, Massachusetts, in connection with the shooting death of Odin Lloyd, a semi-pro football player who was found dead June 17, 2013. The former tight end had signed a five-year contract extension worth $40 million but, less than a year later, Hernandez was charged with the murder of the man who was dating the sister of his fianc\u00e9e. Hours after his arrest on June 26, 2013, the Patriots dropped him from the team. Two of Hernandez's closest associates are co-defendants in the case. Evidence collected in Lloyd's death led to two more murder charges against Hernandez in a separate case in Boston. He is accused of shooting Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in July 2012, allegedly over a spilled drink. Two witnesses who saw Hernandez at the Boston nightclub Rumor just 48 hours before Lloyd's killing said he looked angry and aggressive. Lloyd was with Hernandez at the club that Friday night. On Thursday, prosecutors called witness No. 100: Kasey Arma, a nightclub promoter. She told jurors she danced with Aaron Hernandez at the club in the early morning of June 15, 2013. Hernandez approached her. \"He walked by me and he tapped my hip.\" Arma testified that she danced with Hernandez for about 10 minutes. \"He was pleasant and kind of charming,\" she said. Then he left abruptly. When he returned about 10 minutes later, Arma said, Hernandez grabbed her arm and took her to another part of the club. His demeanor changed.

These new findings also indicate how primitive water reservoirs there could have evolved over billions of years, indicating that early oceans on the Red Planet might have held more water than Earth's Arctic Ocean, NASA scientists reveal in a study published Friday in the journal Science. \"Our study provides a solid estimate of how much water Mars once had, by determining how much water was lost to space,\" said Geronimo Villanueva, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. \"With this work, we can better understand the history of water on Mars.\" To find answers to this age-old question about Martian water molecules, scientists used the world's three major infrared telescopes, in Chile and Hawaii, to measure traces of water in the planet's atmosphere over a range of areas and seasons, spanning from March 2008 to January 2014. \"From the ground, we could take a snapshot of the whole hemisphere on a single night,\" said Goddard's Michael Mumma. Scientists looked at the ratio of two different forms -- or isotopes -- of water, H2O and HDO. The latter is made heavier by one of its hydrogen atoms, called deuterium, which has a neutron at its core in addition to the proton that all hydrogen atoms have. That weighed down HDO more, while larger amounts of hydrogen from H2O floated into the atmosphere, broke away from Mars' low gravity and disappeared into space. As a result, water trapped in Mars' polar ice caps has a much higher level of HDO than fluid water on Earth does, the scientists said. The scientists compared the ratio of H2O to HDO in Mars' atmosphere today to the ratio of the two molecules trapped inside a Mars meteorite, a stone that broke off from Mars -- perhaps when an asteroid hit -- and landed on Earth some 4.5 billion years ago. They were able to determine how much that ratio had changed over time and estimate how much water has disappeared from Mars -- about 87%. The findings indicate that the Red Planet could have had its fair share of blue waters, possibly even yielding an ocean. According to NASA, there might have been enough water to cover up to 20% of Mars' surface. That would amount to an ocean proportionally larger than the Atlantic on Earth. \"This ocean had a maximum depth of around 5,000 feet or around one mile deep,\" said Villanueva. NASA scientists say that much of this water loss happened over billions of years, along with a loss of atmosphere. And as the planet's atmospheric pressure dropped, it was harder for water to stay in liquid form. Heat also contributed to its evaporation. As a result, the remaining primeval ocean water continued to move toward the poles, where it eventually froze. \"With Mars losing that much water, the planet was very likely wet for a longer period of time than was previously thought, suggesting it might have been habitable for longer,\" said Mumma.

It had flipped over into a frigid Utah river half a day before, and the baby was still strapped in her seat. As Officer Jared Warner dashed with the 18-month-old in his arms to an ambulance, she was barely alive. But she's doing better, her family said Monday. \"Her improvement is astounding. Right now she's watching 'Dora (the Explorer)' and singing '(The) Wheels on the Bus' with Grandpa. She is smiling and laughing for family members. We're blown away by Lily's progress and so grateful to her rescuers,\" they said. Lily's mother, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, died in the crash that had landed their car on its roof in the Spanish Fork River. She was 25 years old. Lily might have died unseen with her mother, had a man not gone fishing in that particular spot Saturday. The angler waded into the river around noon, then noticed the car wheels-up in the water. \"Where the car was, you couldn't see it from the roadway,\" police Lt. Cory Slaymaker said. The fisherman called emergency dispatch. Police and fire rescuers arrived and sprang into the water. The rest of what happened is now a frenetic blur for Officer Bryan DeWitt. \"I don't remember doing anything but just doing it,\" he said. The water was so cold that, when the rescue was over, seven of the men involved had to be treated for hypothermia. They heaved the car onto its side and saw Groesbeck in the driver's seat. It was clear to them that she was dead. Then they noticed the baby. \"She was definitely unconscious and not responsive,\" Warner said. But she was still alive, and rescuers were delighted to see it. She was still strapped into her seat, where she may have been for 14 hours, if the wreck occurred when police believe it did. The night before, a man living nearby heard a loud crash and stepped outside to check, but he saw nothing unusual, police said, and dismissed it. That was at about 10:30 p.m. on Friday. Groesbeck's car had probably just struck a bridge embankment. \"The driver's side tire went up the cement barrier on the south end of the bridge, launching this woman and her baby into the freezing water,\" Slaymaker told CNN affiliate KUTV. The angler came along around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, 14 hours later. Groesbeck's death is tragic, but the survival of baby Lily is a story filled with hope. But just how did the baby survive the ordeal? Above all, said CNN senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen, the biggest factor was the car seat. Lily was in the proper car seat and the seat appears to have been properly attached, Cohen said. Even though the child was trapped and upside down, her body remained in the seat and above the frigid water.

Adam Lanza, 20, used the assault rifle to kill 20 first-grade students and six adults in Newtown on December 14, 2012. The younger Lanza was mentally unstable and used his mother's Bushmaster to kill her before he went on the rampage at the school, and then killed himself. At least eight lawsuits have been filed in Connecticut courts since January on behalf of relatives of 16 people killed in the massacre -- four adults and 12 children. Court documents also list two people who suffered serious injuries. In December, the parents of nine children killed at the mass shooting, along with one teacher who survived, filed a separate lawsuit against the businesses behind the Bushmaster rifle.

The wrongful death lawsuit, filed one day after the second anniversary of the killings, named Camfour, a gun distributor; Riverview Gun Sales; as well as the Freedom Group, the company that owns Bushmaster. It blamed the numerous lives lost in just 264 seconds on the shooter's weapon of choice, the Bushmaster. Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder, the law firm for the families in the Bushmaster lawsuit, is also representing some families in the cases against Lanza's estate. The lawsuits were first reported Friday in the Connecticut Post, which said Nancy Lanza is believed to have had insurance on the home worth more than $1 million. \"Unlike our case against Bushmaster, Camfour (the distributor), and Riverview for the negligent entrustment and marketing of combat AR-15's designed for the military to inflict mass casualties against the enemy to civilians like Nancy Lanza, we expect this claim to be resolved quickly,\" attorney Josh Koskoff said of the estate lawsuits.

For Wisconsin residents decrying the death of unarmed teen Tony Robinson, the question isn't even an issue. \"The investigation is being conducted by the state. We have a new law here in Wisconsin where departments are no longer conducting their own internal investigations for officer-involved shootings,\" Madison Mayor Paul Soglin said. In fact, Wisconsin is one of only two states with such legislation. The other is Connecticut. And that brings some comfort to Robinson's family. \"I trust Wisconsin and the way they're handling the investigation,\" Robinson's uncle Turin Carter told reporters. \"We spoke to investigators from DCI (Department of Criminal Investigation). We trust them, and we trust them to handle this with integrity and to treat it as it comes. We don't want our biases involved, we don't want anybody else's. We want them to act strictly as fact-finders, and that's what we believe in, and we have confidence in that.\" Wisconsin's law, which was enacted just last April, requires \"an investigation that is conducted by at least two investigators ... neither of whom is employed by a law enforcement agency that employs a law enforcement officer involved in the officer-involved death.\" After that, investigators must provide a report to the district attorney. If the district attorney determines there are no grounds to prosecute the officer involved, then the investigators must release their report to the public. Connecticut's law requires the state's Division of Criminal Justice with investigating any deadly force by law enforcement, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The state's chief attorney can appoint a special prosecutor, and the law also allows anyone to make a written request to the chief attorney to appoint a special prosecutor, the NCSL said. After that, Connecticut's Division of Criminal Justice must submit a report to the state's chief attorney detailing whether the use of deadly force was appropriate. While such laws are rather novel, a dozen other states have proposed measures about appointing special prosecutors for, or providing independent investigation in, officer-involved deaths, according to the NCSL. They include California, Connecticut, New York, Texas, Missouri, Minnesota, West Virginia, Kansas, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma. \"Typically it doesn't work when you have to police yourself,\" said Mel Robbins, a CNN legal analyst who has began her career as a New York City public defender and now practices criminal law for Legal Aid Criminal Defense Society. \"This is why we have whistle blower protective statutes because people inside an organization will do everything they can to shut that person up. \"Having laws that require an outside agency to investigate would actually help police and prosecutors,\" she said. \"There's a suspicion that many have that police are corrupt.

+{"article": "(CNN)For years, Native Americans have called on Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder to change the team's name. It's a dictionary-defined racial slur that's dehumanizing to Native Americans. And, in my view, that outweighs the arguments of Redskins advocates who defend the name as a symbol of team pride. But what about the thousands of high schools across the United States that have the name as its mascot? Where do they fit in the debate? Once you factor in freedom of speech, how should one approach this issue? Recently, in upstate New York, the Lancaster Central District School Board unanimously voted to retire its high school's mascot and moniker -- the \"Redskins.\" The board called the mascot \"a symbol of ethnic stereotyping\" and said the school \"cannot continue practices which are offensive and hurtful to others\" -- namely Native Americans. Some students opposed the board's decision citing school legacy and tradition. A group of Lancaster High students hosted a walk out in protest with many carrying placards reading, \"Redskins Pride\" and \"Once a Redskin, Always a Redskin.\" Coincidentally, around the same time in Delaware, the Conrad Schools of Science announced it will begin to take steps to drop its \"Redskins\" mascot before the beginning of the 2015-16 school year. Local school districts are responding to the growing chorus of voices who oppose antiquated Native American mascots. Furthermore, there's research that shows Indian mascots and monikers harm the mental health of Native American youths. According to one study, Native American students are reported to have low self-esteem and a suppressed sense of self-worth as a consequence of such images and language. Other research shows how all ethnic groups are hurt by poor representations of Native Americans. People \"are more likely to negatively stereotype other ethnic groups as well,\" according to Wendy Quinton, clinical assistant professor of psychology at the University at Buffalo. What the Conrad Schools of Science and the Lancaster school board decisions represent for Native Americans are hope -- for us and our kids -- that broader awareness is changing perspectives and that hurtful stereotypical nicknames should not have to be tolerated by any ethnic group. Still, there's the issue of free speech. Many have made the argument that Native Americans like me are trampling on the First Amendment when we call for the Washington football team to change its name. Even the ACLU has chimed in on the matter. On March 6, the organization said in a blog it does not support the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's decision to cancel federal trademark protection of the Washington football team's use of the word \"redskins.\" In June of last year, the USPTO had repealed six of the team's seven trademarks, finding the r-word is \"disparaging to Native Americans.\" Although the ACLU agrees the team name is \"offensive and perpetuates racism against Native Americans,\" it cannot support what it refers to as language policing. \"...

+{"article": "(CNN)George Zimmerman says he bears a grudge against President Obama, accusing him of inflaming racial tensions around the Trayvon Martin case. Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murder in 2013 over Martin's death, made the allegations against Obama in a video posted on his lawyers' website. The February 2012 killing of Martin, an unarmed black teenager, by Zimmerman, a Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer, stirred fierce debate about race and the justice system. Zimmerman, who is now 31, said he shot Martin in self-defense during a confrontation in Sanford, Florida. But critics allege the death was spurred by racial profiling. In the new video, Zimmerman claims it was Obama who stoked racial tensions surrounding the case. He cites the President's remarks in March 2012, when the case was still being investigated, in which Obama said, \"If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.\" \"To me, that was clearly a dereliction of duty, pitting Americans against each other solely based on race,\" Zimmerman says in the conversation with his lawyer Howard Iken, who does not appear on camera. Zimmerman notes that Obama's press secretary at the time, Jay Carney, had said previously that the White House would not wade into the case, calling it \"a local law-enforcement matter.\" Asked if he felt there was one government agency or official who brought the most unfairness to his situation, Zimmerman is quick to respond. \"By far, the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama,\" he says. Zimmerman's comments are the first since the U.S. Justice Department announced last month that it wouldn't bring any civil rights charges against him.

I was an adviser on the \"True Cross\" episode and served as one of the many on-camera experts in CNN's \"Finding Jesus\" series, which airs on Sundays. Viewers were invited during the show to tweet and post their questions on the \"Finding Jesus\" Facebook page. Below are some of the more interesting questions and my answers to them. They have been edited for style and clarity for this article. What's \"true\" about the cross that killed Jesus? Lynn Santos: Where might there be other pieces of the \"true cross\"? Is anyone attempting to carbon date these relics ? Moss: There are churches all over the world that claim to have fragments or splinters of the true cross. These aren't being carbon dated and there are a few reasons why. First, carbon dating is expensive, and your average church doesn't have the funds for this kind of endeavor. Second, carbon dating is seen as intrusive and a little destructive. Even if only about 10 milligrams of wood are needed, you're still chipping away at a holy object. This isn't something that churches like to do, especially as -- and this leads me to my third point -- almost all carbon dating tests end up discrediting the relics that are being tested. So, it's not in the best interest of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches that claim to possess relics to have them tested. Matt Marino: Are you able to tell what type of wood the cross was built from? Moss: Unless we know with complete certainty that we have a fragment of the true cross, then we won't be able to assert what kind of wood was used. Nonetheless, we can make some best guesses. A number of scholars have thought that the cross was made of cedar because cedar is a sturdy wood found in the region. There is also evidence from the crucifixion of other criminals. In 1968, the remains of a crucified man named Yehohanan ben Hagkol were found during excavations in northern Jerusalem. We know he was crucified because there was a spike embedded in his ankle bone. The Department of Botany at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem concluded that the wood underneath the nail was olive wood. So perhaps that's a possibility. Daniel Pronych: How can we be certain the Romans didn't reuse Jesus' cross? Moss: This is a great question. Hewn wood and nails were more valuable in the ancient world than they are today. There are examples of the Romans discarding tools and other implements (for instance after the battle of Masada, when they left behind pottery vessels rather than haul them away), but this usually took place in situations where carrying these tools was more effort than it was worth. The Romans were efficient and would likely have reused the instruments of torture if they could.

+{"article": "Moscow (CNN)Ever since Vladimir Putin came to power, there have been killings of politicians, of human rights activists, of journalists. Boris Nemtsov, one of Russia's most prominent opposition figures, is only the latest victim. The key thing all these crimes have in common is that none of them get properly resolved. Of course, the Kremlin will issue condemnation and condolences, as it has done over the assassination of Nemtsov. But the killers and the people who ordered the killings don't usually end up facing justice -- and if you are an opposition politician in Russia, or a human rights activist, or a journalist, you will know this. If the dangers weren't clear enough, the circumstances of the most recent killing are a stark reminder. It was late Friday night. Boris Nemtsov and his girlfriend Anna Duritskaya, a Ukrainian model, had eaten dinner at plush restaurant on Red Square. Afterwards, despite the chilly weather, they decided to walk back to his apartment, perhaps to take in the stunning views. The Kremlin looks spectacular at night. It was on this short journey, in the heart of Moscow, that the gunman struck, leaving Nemtsov dead within sight of the red Kremlin walls -- walls which, by the way, bristle with security cameras. In the days since, thousands have made pilgrimage to the place where the outspoken Putin critic was shot to pay their respects, leaving a mountain of flowers and personal messages. An opposition rally on Sunday, which Nemtsov was meant to lead, was canceled and replaced with a mourning march past the crime scene. It was the biggest pro-opposition rally in the Russian capital for years. But few who took part could have missed the symbolism, the real message the killers -- whoever they are -- sent by gunning down such a prominent Kremlin critic in the shadow of its towering walls. It's this: if you oppose the Kremlin, if you criticize its power, if you stand for greater democracy and reform, as Boris Nemtsov did, this could happen to you too. It's hard to predict what impact this message will have. \"Yet another terrible page has been turned in the history we all share,\" wrote Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the once-jailed oligarch-turned Kremlin critic now in exile. \"What the next page holds is up to each and every one of us,\" he said, commenting on the death of Nemtsov. The statement was issued under the banner \"We Are Not Afraid\". But many Russians I've spoken to since the killing are, in fact, very afraid. And while the hope among opposition activists is that Nemtsov's killing may at least invigorate their ranks, one very real possibility is that it will do the exact opposite: further silence an already very quiet minority opposed to the rule of Vladimir Putin.", "summary": "A series of Kremlin critics have been murdered since Vladimir Putin came to power .

More than 990,000 of them have signed the petition posted on Change.org by Guido Fawkes, a right-wing political blogger, just a week ago. Whether the show of support will have any impact on the BBC's response is unclear.

And now, the Governor has changed his tune, also calling for a fix to the bill. Can there really be an easy \"fix,\" short of repealing the Act? The answer is, of course, it depends. Under RFRAs like Indiana's, people are not free to disobey any law in tension with their religious convictions. Instead, RFRAs create a standard to balance a person's religious interests against the governmental policy at stake. Under Indiana's RFRA, the government must show that its policy interest advances a compelling state interest and is the least restrictive means to address the problem at issue. The question would then become whether anti-discrimination laws advance a compelling interest in the least restrictive means. The answer to that question is easy: yes. The adoption of such laws have long been viewed as advancing compelling state interests, and the only way to eliminate discrimination is to ban it, so they are the least restrictive means. At present in Indiana, there is no state-level law that protects LGBT persons from discrimination by private parties. In certain cities and other, local jurisdictions, however, there are ordinances prohibiting such discrimination. Indiana would have two ways to \"fix\" the RFRA problem. The first would be to adopt state-wide nondiscrimination laws that protect LGBT persons. Such an act would confirm that, as a matter of state policy, protecting the LGBT community is viewed as a compelling state interest. This would bring Indiana into alignment with Illinois, which has a RFRA, but which also has a comprehensive nondiscrimination statute, ameliorating any concerns about the RFRA being used in discriminatory fashion. Given the wishy-washy answer that Gov. Pence provided when asked whether he thought discrimination against LGBT persons was appropriate, the likelihood of Indiana adopting a comprehensive nondiscrimination statute seems remote at best, eliminating this fix as an option. Another possibility would be to amend the statute to confirm that any federal, state, or local nondiscrimination laws constitute a compelling state interest for the purposes of the RFRA. Importantly, federal law does not protect LGBT persons from discrimination by private actors, and neither does Indiana state law. But this language would expressly carve out local ordinances from the", "summary": "Tim Holbrook: Indiana's law allows discrimination against the LGBT community .

Asked by an interviewer with the Israeli news site, NRG, if it was true that a Palestinian nation would never be formed while he's prime minister, Netanyahu replied, \"Indeed.\" His interview with NRG came as he courted conservative supporters a day before Israelis head to the polls for national elections. \"Anyone who is going to establish a Palestinian state, anyone who is going to evacuate territories today, is simply giving a base for attacks to the radical Islam against Israel,\" he said. \"This is the true reality that was created here in the last few years.\" Netanyahu went on to say that any opponents on the left who might argue otherwise are \"sticking their head in the sand, time and time again.\" He further said a strong government led by his Likud Party is necessary to beat back international pressure to divide Jerusalem and return Israel to its pre-1967 borders, according to a Jewish Telegraphic Agency report on the NRG interview. \"I do not give in,\" Netanyahu told NRG. \"We stood fast against huge pressure, and we will continue to do so.\" Following Netanyahu's interview, chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, who is also a member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said the Israeli Prime Minister's stance is nothing new. \"Netanyahu has done everything possible to bury the two-state solution,\" he said. \"Netanyahu's statement at the illegal settlement of Har Homa is a response to all those governments who tried to block Palestinian diplomatic initiatives. He couldn't have done that without counting on full impunity from the international community. Now the world must learn its lesson and understand that impunity won't bring peace, only justice will.\" Earlier in the day, Netanyahu continued his efforts to drum up support during a campaign speech in the Har Homa neighborhood of Jerusalem, which he boasted that he helped establish in 1997, during his first prime ministerial term. Israel considers Har Homa part of a unified Jerusalem, while Palestinians consider the neighborhood an illegal settlement. If he is re-elected, Netanyahu said, he will continue to promote construction in Jerusalem as a means of national security, he said. \"The pressure around this decision back then was enormous. But I insisted -- I ordered the construction and it paid off,\" he said. \"Today, Har Homa is a flourishing neighborhood in which tens of thousands of Israeli civilians are living. As we proved in the past, my friends in the Likud Party and I, we will keep Jerusalem protected and keep developing it.\" Opposition leaders Isaac Herzog and Tzipi Livni of the Zionist Union, he alleged, are \"ready to surrender to every dictate.\" Livni, he said, has denounced previous calls for more construction in Jerusalem's Jewish neighborhoods, while Herzog would strive to establish a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem. \"I will not let that happen,\" he said. \"My friends and I in the Likud will keep Jerusalem united in all its parts,", "summary": "\"Impunity won't bring peace, only justice will,\" chief Palestinian negotiator says .

+{"article": "(CNN)They say time and tide wait for no man, as Henrik Stenson discovered at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida when he complained he had been decisively rushed after being put on the clock in the closing stages of his dramatic defeat. The Swede -- who lost to defending champion Matt Every by one stroke -- was ticked off that he and playing partner Morgan Hoffman were subjected to time constraints from the 15th hole onwards because of alleged slow play Sunday. Under competition rules, players are put on the clock if they have fallen behind the allotted time for each hole and well behind the preceding group of players. Once the measure is imposed, shots are timed and players given a one-stroke penalty for the second shot -- but not the first -- on which they are found to have taken too long. Stenson said the decision \"got to me, and obviously I was rushing\" as he three-putted both that hole and the 16th, opening the door for Floridian Every to seal the title with a round of 66 crowned by a long-range putt on the final green. Officials at the Bay Hill course said Stenson and Hoffmann's had been the slowest pairing of the day Sunday. But the frustrated 38-year-old Swede said he \"could not see the point\" of being put on the clock. \"When someone is sitting there with a stopwatch it affects you a little bit,\" he explained, accusing officials of \"influencing, potentially, the outcome of this tournament towards the end.\" \"I didn't really have much time to look at my putt [on the 15th] and rushed that one a little bit, the first one, and three-putted,\" the PGA Tour website quoted him as saying. \"Morgan got a bad time on his second shot on 16, and again I kind of rushed my putting on 16 and three-putted that one. That's really what cost me the tournament, those two three-putts on 15 and 16. \"We might have been a couple minutes out, for sure -- but then again it's normally not the quickest when you're playing in the last group. \"[There are] more people, more movement. You have to back off every now and then for some mobile phones and stuff like that.\" The PGA Tour was not immediately available for comment about Stenson's remarks. Stenson told reporters that \"it's hard when you don't feel like you can take the time you want,\" adding that he was \"disappointed with the rules official for pushing us up late in the round for no obvious reason.\" And he was unimpressed when told that part of the reason for the imposition of the ticking clock could have been a desire to complete play before live TV coverage came to an end at 18.00 local time. \"I thought we were here to play golf, not to finish at 6pm,\" he snapped.

+{"article": "(CNN)The story of the Jews in the United States is a testament to \"American exceptionalism\" and stands in contrast to a long history of discrimination and pariah status in Europe and Muslim lands. In fact, the economic prosperity and social standing of America's Jews shows that generally they have fared better than many other minorities. This positive record is a fulfillment of the assurance given to the Newport, Rhode Island, Hebrew Congregation in 1790 by President George Washington: \"It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States ... gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.\" Since then, American Jews have been appointed and elected to public offices as governors, senators, mayors, Cabinet officers and in the military, and today, most American adults are unaware of and don't seem to care who's Jewish. Thus it comes as a shock when at the University of California Los Angeles, a Jewish woman student applicant for the Student Council's Judicial Board is initially rejected after being asked: \"Given that you are a Jewish student and very active in the Jewish community, how do you see yourself being able to maintain an unbiased view?\" According to The New York Times, the discussion that followed had \"seemed to echo the kind of questions, prejudices and tropes -- particularly about divided loyalties -- that have plagued Jews across the globe for centuries.\" The minutes and video of the event suggest some student leaders seemed to be auditioning for the Salem witch trials and others for jobs as political commissars in Communist North Korea. And in February, at another University of California campus in Davis, Jewish students opposed to a Student Council resolution advocating a boycott of Israel were heckled by cries of \"Allahu Akbar\" and a Jewish fraternity house was daubed with a swastika. Chancellor Gene Block of UCLA called the dust up on his campus a \"teachable moment.\" Yes, agreed. It seems UCLA's diverse body of students requires remedial classes in civics. Would UCLA students consider it appropriate to ask U.S. Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan similarly hostile and demeaning questions? Apparently it's necessary for the university to teach its student leadership that the U.S. Constitution bans religious tests for public office. While they are at it, they also can inform them that the Bill of Rights assures freedom of religion, speech and assembly to all citizens. California's university administrators might need to be reminded that Title 6 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to all Americans, and they have an obligation to ensure equal educational opportunity for all students. This includes, among other things, promptly and effectively addressing certain hostile environments.

He also said the speech could harm Israel's security by damaging Israel's relationship with other countries. On Friday, Meir Dagan, the former head of Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, told one of the leading Israeli newspapers, Yedioth Ahronoth: \"The person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel on the Iranian issue is the prime minister.\" Dagan, who was the director of Mossad from 2002 to 2010, continued, \"I've seen leaders who made decisions and then later admitted that they had erred. Nobody is immune from mistakes. The difference between him and others is the willingness to take responsibility. He is strong on talk, not in action.\" Recent polling by CNN affiliate Channel 10 Israel shows Israelis split on the speech, with 38% supporting it and the same percentage opposing it. The remaining 24% are undecided. But another poll from Panels Politics, an Israeli polling institute, indicates 53% of Israelis believe the speech will have no effect on the negotiations between six world powers and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program. Another 30% believe the speech will affect the negotiations. Reshef said this year's elections, which will take place on March 17, exactly two weeks after Netanyahu's speech, are crucial for the peace process. Even after years of failed negotiations, Israel has the opportunity now to restart negotiations with the help of moderate Arab states, he said, while warning that going the wrong direction could push peace further out of reach. Reshef would not specify which political leaders would be the best for negotiations, but he said he trusts Israeli voters to decide for themselves in the upcoming elections.

We are tired of corruption. It doesn't matter which political party you are from, we are tired of being robbed,\" a protester told CNN in Sao Paulo, where people packed the main Paulista Avenue. In Rio de Janeiro, they gathered along Copacabana beach, while in the capital, Brasilia, protesters marched on government headquarters. The mood was festive. Many demonstrators wore the country's colors -- green, blue and yellow -- waved flags, and chanted: \"Out Dilma.\" Amid complaints about the economy, protesters say they are incensed because Brazilian investigators are unraveling a huge money-laundering and bribery case centered around Petrobras, the country's national oil company. Dozens of politicians, some in Rousseff's party, are accused of accepting millions in payments. The President has not been implicated in the investigation, but she was the Energy Minister and chairwoman of Petrobras during much of the time that the alleged corruption took place. Why are protesters furious with Brazil's President? Sunday night Rousseff sent two of her ministers to address the nation at a televised press conference. The justice minister and the general secretary said that the government was listening and would announce changes in several days designed to combat corruption.

+{"article": "Maui, Hawaii (CNN)When she was just 4 years old, Chelsea Elliott went blind in her left eye. Then, two years later, she lost hearing in her right ear. Now 24, Elliott might have been spared years of struggle if her rare eye condition -- known as Coats disease -- had been caught earlier. Not wanting other children to feel the same frustration, anger and limitations, Elliott launched a nonprofit that offers free vision and hearing screenings to school-age children -- particularly from lower income communities. Here's a stunning statistic: 25% of U.S. children ages 5-17 suffer from vision problems, according to the National Commission on Vision and Health. Nonetheless, eight states still fail to require vision screenings at schools. Undetected and untreated, eye disorders can result in delayed reading and poorer academic outcomes. Elliott's organization, the Half-Helen Foundation, has screened nearly 9,000 children in Texas and Hawaii since its 2013 launch. As you might guess, the name honors Helen Keller -- who overcame blindness and hearing loss as an infant. Before her death in 1968, Keller learned to speak and then eventually earned degrees from Radcliffe College and Harvard University, inspiring countless people around the world. \"When I learned about Helen Keller for the first time in the fourth grade, I surmised that I am half blind and half deaf like half Helen,\" said Elliott. \"What better role model than to name a nonprofit after the most extraordinary woman who overcame obstacles being blind and deaf?\" Do you know a hero?

CNN: You do vision screenings right in the schools. How does it work? Chelsea Elliott: We use our tool, the Spot camera. This device allows us to test for the six most common vision impairments in children in seconds. We are looking to see if they're near-sighted, if they're far-sighted, if they have astigmatism, or if they're at risk for conditions like lazy eye or strabismus or if there's a difference in pupil size. The Spot camera is a hand-held autorefractor that takes a picture of a child's eyes. It has multi-colored Infrared light -- a red, blue and green light that flashes. Children tell me it looks like a video game. Often I'm trying to get the child to look straight into the camera. So once I capture their attention, the camera will capture the image and the screening is done. It's that quick. We learn so much more about a child's vision health in a fraction of the time it takes to do a basic eye chart test. After the screening, we deliver referral reports to the school health aide to distribute to the families. The families communicate directly with us if they need assistance in seeking corrective wear or access to an eye care professional. If a child passes, all the better.

(Princeton ended up losing in the second round of the NCAA tournament, finishing with a 31-1 record.) The Princeton team garnered national headlines, which was great, but I still wondered what it was going to take for women's sports to get the same attention as men's sports -- meaning an equal number of fans, TV rights, marketing endorsements, you name it. Is such a day even possible? Consider salaries alone.

+{"article": "(CNN)\"A pilot called me last week, concerned he might have Marfan syndome,\" a health care provider told me recently at a meeting. \"But if I find he has the disease, do I have to report him to the Federal Aviation Administration? And if so, should I call him first and tell him that? Would he lose his job?\" She was totally unsure what to do. Several other providers were present, and none of them knew, either. \"You should definitely call him and tell him,\" a health care lawyer, who was present, said. \"You have to provide full disclosure.\" \"But presumably, he knows that you might do so,\" I said. \"And if you told him, he might not come in for the check-up.\" Marfan syndrome affects connective tissue and can lead to sudden tears in the aortic artery, causing sudden death. Yet if treated, it poses much less risk, though not necessarily zero. The case raised several specific quandaries about what the responsibilities of medical professionals are and should be -- legally or ethically -- in evaluating pilots. The FAA requires that pilots self-report any diagnoses. But health care professionals have no obligation to notify anyone. They may know that a pilot has a medical problem that is poorly or not treated and may endanger passengers, but these providers have no obligation to do anything about it. These issues are crucial, given that Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed the Germanwings Flight 9525, killing 150 passengers. We still don't know why he committed suicide-murder, but the latest reports indicate he was treated for suicidal tendencies before getting his pilot license. The Germanwings disaster has demonstrated that current standards of medical and psychiatric evaluation are inadequate. The FAA requires only that pilots fill out a psychological questionnaire, asking whether they have had psychological symptoms. But pilots are not assessed in person by a psychiatrist. Such face-to-face assessments can provide crucial information that self-report forms might miss, partly because pilots might answer inaccurately. Moreover, the FAA requires only that 25% of pilots have a single random drug screen per year. Pilots may pass drug tests in January and realize that the odds of undergoing subsequent tests that year are nil. They may hence use more alcohol and recreational drugs. We need to consider changing current policies. Some alterations are relatively easy. The FAA should consider requiring far more drug testing -- for all pilots, perhaps every few days. Other possible reforms pose difficult ethical dilemmas, and thus need broad, careful discussion -- e.g., what role providers should play and how much privacy pilots should have. Medical exams and records over time can indicate key problems that a single visit to an FAA doctor may miss. But requiring more information from pilots diminishes their rights to privacy. Indeed, such rights impeded investigators from knowing initially the reason Lubitz took a six-month leave and the nature of his medical condition. Physicians have to break patient confidentiality when third parties may be endangered.

With spring approaching, marine experts say it's a good reminder to look after your belongings when you take to the water.

So where does an intervention begin? A couple spotted the calf off the coast of Fort Pierce with monofilament line wrapped around his rostrum, or snout. The mammal was riding the wake of their boat. They reported it January 18 to the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, which set out to find the calf and his mother. The group found the pair and took more pictures, which were sent to the NOAA Fisheries on February 9 for evaluation. The photos revealed monofilament line wrapped around the calf's upper jaw, cutting into the tissue to the bone, threatening his ability to eat or possibly leading to infection. Veterinarians who reviewed the photos deemed the injuries potentially life-threatening. \"We can't disentangle every animal,\" Stratton said, \"but If it comes back as life-threatening, we mobilize to do disentanglement.\" The next step was to find the creatures again. Through characteristics on the mother's dorsal fin, the group was able to identify her through records on file and target her home range for a search. After a two-day search, the group found the dolphins on Friday and approached for intervention. The process took about an hour, from netting the calf and his mother to sending them on their way, Stratton said. Apart from the fishing line both mother and son were in good condition.

+{"article": "(CNN)The murder earlier this month of 27-year-old Farkhunda at the hands of a mob that beat her to death, burned her body and tossed her into a river shocked Afghanistan, a country in which unspeakable things often hit the headlines. The young woman from Kabul was falsely accused of burning pages in the Holy Quran. What followed was the horror of mob rule, all captured on video while bystanders looked on. Soon after the incident, the images of her brutal slaying went viral on social media, noted Afghanistan's TOLO News. And this time, the outrage led Afghans to the streets, with assistance from Facebook and other social media. These platforms have served both to disseminate the images of her savage beating and murder and as a means for convening those who are mobilizing and organizing to protest her killing. Last week, crowds chanted for days, calling for justice for Farkhunda and \"death for her killers.\" And,TOLO News reported, protests were held in different parts of the country, calling for the \"ultimate penalty to the perpetrators.\" Indeed, technology and connectedness have played a role in changing the old narratives in Afghanistan, as Farkhunda's killing shows. Not only was her murder captured and shared online, but some of those men arrested for her killing were found to have confessed via social media posts. And now a country's anguish is shared in those same online and virtual neighborhoods. Some Afghan civil society leaders see the protests that have resulted as yet another sign of an evolving Afghanistan -- a nation whose recently elected leaders, now sharing a unity government, visited Washington, D.C., in an effort to turn the page on the past. \"When we are talking about this case, what is it showing us? First of all, when we are talking about women's rights, we see that we have succeeded; people will not tolerate what they tolerated a decade ago,\" said Nargis Nehan, founder and executive director of Equality for Peace and Democracy, a non-governmental organization created to promote \"a culture of peace, tolerance, transparency and accountability.\" She was speaking last Tuesday at a roundtable at Georgetown University's Institute for Women, Peace and Security, organized around the visit by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah. \"If this was the Afghanistan of a decade before and this would have happened, a small group of Afghan women would have come to the streets to be seeking justice. Today we have men seeking justice.\" Nehan explained that the younger generation, a progressive generation, wants to have a peaceful Afghanistan. \"But at the same time, we have conservatives who have been power-holders for many decades in Afghanistan and they don't want to see that. Change always has a cost and unfortunately in this case we see that a very innocent girl like Farkhunda has paid that.\" Nehan and other leaders from Afghanistan could be seen checking Facebook frequently for updates on what was happening on the streets of their capital. What they found was an online community sustaining the strong sense of injustice over Farkhunda's killing", "summary": "Murder of 27-year-old woman by mob in Afghanistan set social media ablaze with calls for justice .

Holmes, 27, is charged as the sole gunman who stormed a crowded movie theater at a midnight showing of \"The Dark Knight Rises\" in Aurora, Colorado, and opened fire, killing 12 people and wounding 58 more in July 2012. When the trial began in January, some 9,000 potential jurors were summoned, and jury selection was expected then to continue until May or June, when the trial would finally start. The jury selection process, however, appears to be moving faster than expected, according to court spokesman Rob McCallum. In January, Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. told the first pool of potential jurors that if chosen for the jury, they cannot read, watch or hear anything about the case. \"This will require great effort on your part,\" the judge said three times. Holmes, a one-time neuroscience doctoral student, faces 166 counts, including murder and attempted murder charges. Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. If convicted of the most serious charges, he could face a death sentence. Prosecutors have charged in court that Holmes \"intended to kill them all,\" referring to patrons in the crowded cinema watching the Batman film \"The Dark Knight Rises.\" Holmes colored his hair a comic-book red and told police he was \"The Joker\" upon arrest after the mass killing. Holmes was heavily armed and \"dressed head-to-toe in protective gear,\" authorities said. He wore black contact lenses to conceal his eyes. His AR-15 jammed during the shooting, police said, and they arrested him in the parking lot. The trial itself could last four months. If there's a conviction, the death penalty phase could last another month, which means court proceedings could last until fall.

+{"article": "(CNN)Chelsea claimed the first silverware of the English domestic season and Jose Mourinho's first trophy of his second spell in charge with a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Sunday. Deflected efforts either side of halftime from Chelsea captain John Terry and leading scorer Diego Costa dashed Tottenham's hopes in the all-London League Cup final. Chelsea had suffered a chastening Christmas defeat to the same opposition in the English Premier League, with Harry Kane starring, but the promising young English striker was kept largely quiet in the showpiece occasion. The first half saw Tottenham edge the possession and carry more of the attacking threat, with Dane Christian Eriksen's free kick rattling the Chelsea crossbar. But chances for either side from open play were in short supply and it was from a free kick that Chelsea went ahead just before the break. Willian's delivery from the right brushed Danny Rose's head and fell invitingly to Terry whose shot went into the net after taking a deflection off Eric Dier. Tottenham might have felt hard done by and the sense of injustice would have deepened on 56 minutes as Cesc Fabregas found Costa down the left and his firm strike took another wicked deflection, this time off Walker, who was credited with the own goal, to leave goalkeeper Hugo Lloris with no chance. It seemed to take the sting out of the Tottenham challenge and although Kane had a late half chance, it was Terry who typically snuffed out the threat with a timely tackle. It was the fifth time Chelsea had lifted the English League Cup and third under Mourinho. The Portuguese claimed it in his first season with the west London club in 2005 and after returning to the Stamford Bridge hot seat last season has broken his mini-trophy drought. Mourinho, whose side is also well-placed to go through to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, was clearly reveling in his latest success, his 21st career trophy as a manager. \"'It is important to feel like a kid at 52 years old,\" he said. Man of the match Terry is hoping it will pave the way for further triumphs. \"It's the first trophy this season and it's massive. It meant an awful lot to us when we won it in Jose's first year in 2005 as well,\" he said. \"That could be the start of something very good. We have to kick on and we have got the league to focus on, but it's a great day and a great win.\" Man City blow . Chelsea was also boosted by an earlier result in the EPL as its nearest title rival Manchester City was beaten 2-1 at Liverpool. City had hoped to cut the gap at the top on Chelsea to just two points with a win at Anfield, but instead suffered a chastening reverse.

In a letter from prison, written in response to questions from CNN, she said: \"If Putin wants to defeat Ukraine -- let's try to defeat me first!\" \"But if he wants peace and friendship between our nations as he claims,\" she added, \"I am ready to make the first step towards it. \"My freedom will be that first step towards peace and understanding in Ukraine.\" Savchenko has been held by the Russian authorities in pre-trial detention since last June. Her defiant message was written after CNN submitted a series of questions to the Ukrainian fighter pilot through one of her lawyers, Mark Feygin. We do not know under what circumstances Savchenko answered the questions, but Feygin says she wrote the responses on Friday as he was visiting her. Savchenko undertook a hunger strike for 83 days to protest her detention despite pleas from her family and her lawyers. She recently abandoned her fast after nearing death but has since resumed it, only drinking broth and milk occasionally to stay alive. Russia claims the 33-year-old is behind the killings of two Russian journalists hit by mortar fire at a checkpoint in eastern Ukraine, allegations she has always denied. Moscow says she then crossed voluntarily into Russia and sought asylum as a refugee. The Ukrainian government, however, insists she was kidnapped by rebel forces and that she is a prisoner of war. \"I have already been in captivity for an hour when those Russian journalists died. I have not seen them, and our ways have never crossed.. The 'rebels' themselves told me that those journalists came under fire of their own 'makhnovtsi' [slang for 'anarchists'],\" Savchenko told CNN in her letter from jail. \"And the investigators knew all about it since the very beginning! And they have nothing on me! They simply thought that it would be easy to \"twist my arms\" and receive another star for their epaulettes. But it's not going to happen!\" she added. Savchenko's case has attracted wide international attention and turned her into a symbol of resistance against Russia in her home country, with Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko awarding her the title \"Hero of Ukraine,\" one of the nation's highest honors. She has also been voted into the Ukrainian parliament despite her captivity. Despite her critical situation, Savchenko appears to have retained her sense of humor just as much as her determination, writing that she was feeling \"On the edge!...;) Close to Nirvana and enlightenment!;) Joking.\" \"Holding on!

That was the firm message from the German ambassador in New Delhi after a professor back home was accused of turning down a male Indian student's application for an internship due to the South Asian nation's \"rape problem.\" Professor Annette Beck-Sickinger never did such a thing, according to her and the University of Leipzig. The university points out four of her 30 students and two of her laboratory interns come from India; while it wasn't clear how many of them were men, the university said 29 of its 44 Indian students total are male. Still, Beck-Sickinger has admitted making a mistake by engaging the rejected intern candidate with talk about rape in Indian society and how the issue spurred \"many (other) female professors in Germany (have) decided to no longer accept male Indian students for these reasons.\" \"It was never my intention to make a defamatory comment about Indian society,\" she said, according to a statement posted on the website of the University of Leipzig. \"I do not have anything against Indian students -- on the contrary.

During that exchange, Beck-Sickinger wrote things that she later regretted -- excerpts of which were posted to Quora and the university acknowledged as legitimate.

Xu, who passed away at a hospital on Sunday, became one of the highest-profile figures in China's military to be caught up in President Xi Jinping's war on corruption last year, when the government launched an investigation into him on the back of bribery allegations. The court decided not to prosecute Xu due to his illness, but said his illegal income, including the bribes he was determined to have accepted would be handled in accordance with the law. Formerly a vice-chairman of China's Central Military Commission, the body which runs the two-million strong PLA, Xu was also expelled from the Chinese Communist Party and had his rank of general revoked, according to a statement from the state-run Xinhua news agency. A seven-month investigation, which began in March last year, found that Xu took advantage of his position to assist the promotion of other people. He confessed to accepting bribes personally and through his family. He was also found to have sought profits for others in exchange for bribes taken through his family members. The amount he received was \"extremely huge,\" the statement added. In Chinese President Xi Jinping's annual New Year speech, he reiterated China's \"zero-tolerance\" stance towards corruption, vowing to keep \"waving high the sword against corruption\" and \"fastening the cage of regulations.\" 2014 saw Xi take down two top officials in China's fight against corruption, in addition to Xu.

President Ernest Bai Koroma on Saturday launched a campaign called \"Zero Ebola,\" in which almost all Sierra Leoneans are supposed to stay indoors March 27-29 and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on three consecutive Saturdays -- April 4, 11 and 18. \"The campaign will provide an opportunity for communities to be directly involved in the drive to zero cases, to reflect and to pray for the eradication of this disease from our country,\" he said in a statement. Sierra Leona tried a three-day lockdown last September in what was primarily an informational campaign, with volunteers going door-to-door to talk with residents about the virus. In August, the Liberian government locked down one of the poorest neighborhoods in the capital of Monrovia in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus. The move resulted in riots. No commercial activity is supposed to occur during the upcoming lockdown, Koroma said. Because March 29 is Palm Sunday, church services will be allowed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Health workers, journalists and public safety officers are exempted. Koroma noted that his country has made \"tremendous progress\" in the fight against the deadly disease as the Ministry of Health reported zero new infections Friday. He warned that the rate of transmissions may increase during the upcoming rainy season. \"The economic development of our country and the lives of our people continue to be threatened by the ongoing presence of Ebola in Sierra Leone,\" he said. \"The future of our country and the aspirations of our children are at stake.\" During Sierra Leone's lockdown last year, Doctors Without Borders said such an effort is unlikely to stop the spread of the disease. \"Large-scale coercive measures like forced quarantines and lockdowns are driving people underground and jeopardizing the trust between people and health providers,\" the charity group said in a statement. \"This is leading to the concealment of cases and is pushing the sick away from health systems.\" Sierra Leone has the largest number of confirmed Ebola cases -- 11,751 so far, according to the World Health Organization. WHO says Liberia has the highest number of deaths -- 4,264. So far, 10,194 have died from Ebola and 24,701 have been infected, according to WHO. Ebola is spread by direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person. The National Institutes for Health said Thursday it will admit an American health care worker with Ebola to its Maryland hospital. The person was volunteering at an Ebola treatment center in Sierra Leone. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last Tuesday that 15 American aid workers who had high-risk exposure to Ebola in Sierra Leone have arrived back in the United States for monitoring. None is known to be infected with the disease.

+{"article": "(CNN)If it were easy, any company or government could do it. But flying an Ebola patient halfway around the world -- while keeping that person alive, and everyone safe -- is complicated. Probably no one knows that better than Phoenix Air, a Georgia-based company that is the go-to for transporting Ebola victims by air. Since August, it has made approximately 40 trips -- about half to Europe, the rest to the United States. \"We're like a fire truck sitting in the firehouse. The bell goes off and within a matter of hours we can be out the door and underway,\" said Dent Thompson, vice president and chief operations officer at Phoenix Air. He described the system that goes inside the company's modified Gulfstream G-III aircraft. It consists of three major elements: . Once the plane has landed and the patient has left, the whole system is sealed. The aircraft then flies to a high-security hanger in Cartersville, Georgia, where it undergoes a complete decontamination process, which can take up to 24 hours. Everything inside the liner, including the liner, is sterilized multiple times. The liner and everything in it is then removed, put in special boxes, and taken to a federally licensed incinerator where everything is destroyed. \"We like to say it's more sterile than the surface of the moon when we're done with it,\" Thompson said. Phoenix Air began developing its system way before the current Ebola outbreak. It worked with the Department of Defense and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to build a system that could safety transport patients with contagious diseases. Then, the main concerns were SARS, swine and bird flu. It took years to work out the kinks and get the system approved, and by the time the work was done, the need had sort of petered out. But Thompson said Phoenix Air held onto the system, knowing -- unfortunately -- the need would arise again. He got a call from the State Department in July. By August, the company had completed its first Ebola flight, safely delivering Dr. Kent Brantly to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. A few days later, it brought Nancy Writebol to the same hospital for treatment. And on and on and on. Thompson said other groups are now developing systems similar to Phoenix Air's, including the U.S. government. But so far, none has flown. \"Other organizations have built systems, but we're the ones still doing it,\" he said. More than 10,000 people have died in the Ebola outbreak, mostly in the countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.", "summary": "Georgia company equips plane to transport Ebola patients .

The missiles were fired from North Korea's west coast into the sea, which is also known as the East Sea, around 6:30 a.m. and 6:40 a.m. Monday (4:30 p.m. and 4:40 p.m. ET Sunday), the official said. They were fired from an area near Nampo City, located about 60 kilometers (37 miles) southwest of Pyongyang. The two projectiles were estimated to have flown about 490 kilometers (304 miles) before falling into the sea east of the peninsula, according to the South Korean official, who asked to remain anonymous citing government policy. Considering the speed, altitude and distance the missiles traveled, they are assumed to be Scud-Cs, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry. The missiles were fired as the United States and South Korea began annual military drills, which United States Forces Korea describes as \"nonprovocative training\" that are \"an important component of readiness\" for defending South Korea. The annual joint military exercises, called Foal Eagle and Key Reserve, have long sparked tension between North Korea, South Korea and the United States. North Korea's state-run KCNA slammed the joint military exercises Monday, saying that the drills are \"nothing but a smokescreen\" by the United States and South Korea \"to cover up their surprise invasion of the north.\" \"The situation on the Korean peninsula is again inching close to the brink of a war,\" KCNA said, noting that North Korea's military \"will never remain a passive onlooker in this grave situation.\" North Korea was informed on February 24 when the joint drills would be held, said Kim Min-seok, the South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman. \"North Korea in the past did fire (projectiles) in a very similar manner,\" he said during a briefing Monday. \"On several occasions, they fired (projectiles) from the west coast to sea off east of the Korean Peninsula.\" He added that North Korea fired about 90 ballistic missiles and rockets during last year's Foal Eagle and Key Resolve drill. \"Our military is strictly warning North Korean military of the reckless and the provocative act.

+{"article": "(CNN)Another one for the \"tourists behaving badly\" file. Two American women have reportedly been arrested for carving their initials into a wall with a coin inside Rome's Colosseum. Daily Italian newspaper La Stampa says the women, aged 21 and 25, were spotted carrying out the act by fellow tourists, who then told security. The two letters -- J and N -- were about eight inches in length and scratched on a brick wall at the historic Roman amphitheater. The women, both from California, reportedly snapped a selfie of themselves with their initials before they were arrested. Their names have not been released. The American pair may now face a fine for \"aggravated damage\" on a building of historical and artistic interest. If one Russian's experience is anything to go by, the price won't be cheap. Last November, authorities in Rome slapped a 20,000-euro ($21,685) penalty on a Russian tourist caught carving his name into the famed landmark. The 42-year-old man was apprehended after a guard at the Colosseum saw him carve the letter \"K\" in a section of brickwork. After police caught up with him, the man was found guilty of causing aggravated damage, fined and given a four-month suspended sentence. The Russian was one of five tourists caught carving graffiti on Colosseum walls in 2014. The earlier incidents involved two Australians -- a father and son -- and a Canadian and a Brazilian, both teenagers. Rome isn't alone in having to deal with inappropriate tourist behavior this month. Egypt is now looking into reports that one of its most historic sites was the backdrop for a Russian porn flick. According to Al Arabiya News, authorities have confirmed that an X-rated film was shot next to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx and are now investigating. The video was reportedly made by Russian tourists, who then uploaded it to the Internet nine months ago. Al Arabiya reports that Minister of Antiquities Mamdouh al-Demati says the issue has been referred to the public prosecutor and new surveillance cameras are being installed in the area. The incident comes as a reminder that no world landmark is safe from the salacious urges of tourists -- no matter how sacred it might be to the locals. Cambodia's Angkor Archeological Park experienced its own string of nudity-related incidents this year. In February, U.S. tourists and sisters Lindsey Kate Adams and Leslie Jan Adams were deported after allegedly getting caught taking partially nude photos at Preah Khan temple, one of the sacred sites inside Cambodia's Angkor complex. They received six-month suspended prison sentences, a one-million riel ($250) fine and were banned from entering the country for four years. In January, a group of photos featuring a topless dancer leaning against the ruins surfaced on Facebook. Early last year, Peru officials were forced to respond to a chain of \"naked tourism\" incidents at Machu Picchu, also a World Heritage Site. They detained four American tourists, two Canadians and two Australians for stripping down for pictures at the site.

+{"article": "(CNN)Israel's next prime minister -- whether incumbent Benjamin Netanyahu or Labor Party leader Isaac Herzog -- will be faced with a myriad of international and domestic crises amid deepening tensions with the United States, its closest ally. Here are five key issues waiting in the new leader's inbox after Tuesday's election. 1. Repairing relations with the United States . There are any number of irritants -- from settlement construction to failed peace talks to Israeli military action in Gaza and Lebanon -- which have long tested the alliance between Washington and Israel. But ties have grown increasingly strained between President Barack Obama and Netanyahu, playing out over the last several years in a series of awkward photo-ops, anonymous quotes in U.S. and Israeli media and tense body language. Relations hit a low point recently with Netanyahu's speech to Congress criticizing President Obama's policy toward Iran about its nuclear program. Repairing ties with the White House becomes easier if the next government is formed under Herzog, who has pledged to \"restore intimacy and trust\" with the leadership in Washington. Repairing ties becomes more difficult if Netanyahu remains in office. For all its official praise for the \"unshakable bonds\" between the U.S. and Israel, the White House sees Netanyahu as the problem. If Netanyahu is re-elected, they will have to work with him. Personal relations may be fraught now, but Obama has never suggested watering down or delaying mostly military U.S. aid to Israel, which amounts to $3 billion a year. Privately, however, U.S. officials have warned the level of Washington's political support for Israel with allies and at the United Nations could be affected by Netanyahu's attitude toward the Obama administration. 2. Confronting Iran . World powers are pushing toward a framework nuclear deal with Iran before the March 31 deadline. The next prime minister will take office shortly before a July deadline for a final deal and will need to reach key understandings with Washington on what security and diplomatic guarantees the United States will provide Israel if the deal goes forward. In addition, Israel will want input on what constitutes a violation of the deal and what would trigger punitive measures if Iran reneges. If he remains in office, Netanyahu's differing perceptions of the threat posed by Iran will undoubtedly come to a head as that deadline approaches. Netanyahu has been clear he believes history has handed him the role of delivering the Jewish state from an existential threat posed by Tehran's nuclear ambitions. He worries that the agreement that emerges will leave Iran as a nuclear \"threshold state\" with the materials and expertise to quickly break out and build a nuclear weapon. Herzog has similarly said he would never accept a nuclear Iran and stresses all options are on the table, including the military options. But he has suggested as prime minister he would work closer with the Obama administration and other governments negotiating with Iran to strengthen a deal, rather than try and block the deal through the US Congress.

Sharper has been in jail in Los Angeles since last year, but this case was in Arizona. Sharper and his attorney had a telephone meeting with Judge Warren Granville, where the former player and television analyst changed his plea. The judge sentenced Sharper to nine years in prison with no eligibility for early release, Maricopa County Attorney's Office spokesman Jerry Cobb said. Sharper will also be placed on lifetime probation afterward. Sharper, a five-time Pro Bowl player, originally faced five counts of drugging and raping three women in Scottsdale, Arizona, in November 2013. Before being indicted in Arizona, Sharper was arrested in California on charges of drugging and raping two women in that state. He was also under investigation in other states. Florida prosecutors announced last year they would not prosecute Sharper on similar allegations, but he faces federal charges in Louisiana. Sharper played for the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints from 1997 through the 2010 season. The five-time Pro Bowl player intercepted 63 passes in his career, tying for seventh all-time. He is tied for second all-time in interceptions returned for touchdowns with 11, according to Pro-Football-Reference.com. He later worked as an analyst for NFL Network.

The shopper's paradise, in the city of Yiwu, covers 46 million square feet and has about 62,000 booths, with 100,000 suppliers exhibiting 400,000 kinds of products. The sheer enormity of the place posed challenges for London-based Seymour, who visited Commodity City twice last year. \"I tried to see as much as I could in the days that I was there, and became very quickly exhausted by the constant sensory overload,\" he said via email. \"I spent a total of four days constantly walking around Yiwu and wouldn't say I got near to seeing all of the stalls.\" Seymour's \"Yiwu Commodity City\" photo project began in January 2014, when he established both the style and content of his photos: the sellers in their environments in addition to the monotony of the market itself. When Seymour returned to Yiwu in August, he felt well-prepared to begin shooting. During this visit, he also came to better understand the atmosphere and dynamics of the market. \"The atmosphere of the market was quite unusual in that one gets the sense that it really is home to a community,\" he said. \"The second trip I made to the market was during school summer vacation, and because of this there were children in a huge number of the stores who obviously (spent) the day in the market with their parents. There were also children running and playing throughout the market, riding scooters along its vast corridors, chasing each other around, etc. It gave the impression that this was more than just a place of business, but a place of life, something that took me by surprise.\" The photos are like an endless delivery of presents, as each and every shot unwraps an assortment of contents within the identically square-shaped booths of the sellers. \"Shooting Yiwu in a repetitive way, for me, becomes a very interesting way of describing the place, as each store becomes describable only by the items for sale within it,\" Seymour said. An estimated 40,000 visitors make their way into Commodity City every day. Many of them are retail buyers. Because of the large number of visitors and their diverse backgrounds, buyers and sellers typically communicate utilizing translators that work in the market permanently. \"There is a broad mix of people in Yiwu, buyers and sellers come from all over the world. However just from my own experiences and those of others I spoke to, the fastest growing markets are of Middle Eastern and African buyers,\" Seymour said. There are thousands of orders placed at Commodity City that are later sold to consumers in many different countries. \"I learned a great deal during this project,\" Seymour said. \"If there was one thing that particularly stands out, it was the scale of production in China. ...

For parents bewildered by the sudden outpouring of grief, here are a few facts to use as anchors in the sea of despair. Malik left the band. He didn't die. He wasn't thrown out. He quit, because he's young and didn't want to do it any more. \"I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight,\" he said in a statement posted on the band's Facebook page. Sound fair enough? In the world of One Direction fans, ABSOLUTELY NOT! A few more facts for emotional ballast: The band is staying together. The other four will continue to tour and make records and even work on their fifth album this year, the statement said. So, now that the facts are out there, how do parents cope with what may seem to be a completely over-the-top irrational response to a small change in line-up? Never, ever, underestimate the depths of adolescent emotion. \"Teenagers are wired to feel emotional and to feel almost obsessive about things, and passionate and impulsive. So it makes sense biologically that they are this entrenched in 1D,\" says Dannielle Miller, an author and teen girl educator. After the loss of Malik, Miller says many teenagers are coping with a sense of loss they've never felt before. To them, it is real, and incredibly painful. \"The last thing you want to do as a parent is to just think it's silly and to laugh at your child if she's really upset about this because her feelings will be very real to her,\" Miller says. (Or him, as the case may be). \"If you choose to laugh at her or tease her about it, then she's not going to tell you when she's grieving about other things in her life that she's really struggling with.\" Arm yourself with some tissues and take a step back, advises child psychologist Dr. Louise Porter. \"A parent's job is to understand that they're sad, even if we don't understand why. If we think it's an over-the-top reaction for the circumstances, that doesn't matter,\" says Porter. She advises against trying to placate and console. \"You don't need to console, you don't need to give advice. There was a famous communicator by the name of Marshall Rosenberg who said 'don't just do something, stand there.' They just need us to hear the message that says 'you're sad.'\" There's some scary stuff out there, not least the Twitter hashtag #cut4zayn or #cutforzayn. Fans are posting images of slashed arms, as a sign of devotion or warped attempt to pressure Zayn to change his mind. In one instance, a user posted a photo that appeared to show the bloodied words \"I LOVE ZAYN\" etched on his or her arm. There's a precedent, Miller says.

The question is tragically flawed and here's a newsflash for everyone who has ever asked new parents that question: You're asking the wrong people. I realize that parents are simply sharing a bit of biological information based on their baby's physical \"parts,\" but only that beautiful baby can accurately and authentically tell you what gender he or she is. You may want to give it a little time before you paint that nursery bright pink or pick out junior's first baseball glove -- it's just not that simple. I may only be 15 years old and will be the first to admit that I know very little about this great big world, but I know way too much about gender and being mislabeled. Why transgender teen Jazz Jennings is everywhere . You see, the doctor told my parents, \"It's a girl,\" but he couldn't have been more wrong. Aside from my biology, I knew I was a boy from the age of 2. I was 100% sure of who I was and biology was an insignificant part of the conversation. Keep in mind that this was a time before I had even realized that being a boy trapped in a girl's body was anything beyond normal, and this was long before I could possibly articulate what was happening. However, there was no need to articulate anything. I was a little boy expressing myself based on what was in my heart and mind -- not yet distorted by biology, other people's confusion, or fear. It was when I was older that other people let me know something was \"off.\" No matter how many times I was told differently, I was a boy and the people that mattered knew it too, for the most part. I want to address the moment where people, gender, and respectful communication part ways. That is the moment when the word \"sexuality\" creeps into the conversation. That is when people get scared, cite religion, start whispering, and disconnect. It's a sad moment, but I get it. People have always mocked what they don't understand, and this is a tough one for most to grasp. That said, it has to change and I believe it is changing. The transgender life: What to know, say and understand . I cannot stress to the world enough, gender and sexuality are two completely different things, and the moment people incorrectly connect them is the moment when most people start looking for an exit or a fight. Save your fear people. This is not something to be afraid of; it's an opportunity for us to evolve. Nothing is completely black or white, hot or cold, here or there, or male and female; there are varying degrees of everything and the quicker we respect that, the faster we all grow", "summary": "Avery Wallace says he knew he was a boy from age 2 . \"I knew being gay wasn't a bad thing, but I also knew it didn't describe me,\" Avery says .

Video showed the streets teeming with young people. Three people with gunshot wounds were found inside a house, one outside the house, one in the median of the road and two on the other side of the road, the sheriff's office said in a press release. \"We have about 100 witnesses or so that we are trying to separate and interview,\" McKeithen told WMBB. \"We have a mess.\" The scene was so mixed up that deputies from five adjacent counties and officers from the Florida Highway Patrol and Panama City Beach police were called in to assist.

He was 91. Lee passed away peacefully at Singapore General Hospital at 3:18 a.m., the statement said. He had been in the hospital with pneumonia since February 5. Born in 1923, Lee co-founded the city state in 1965 when it declared its independence from Malaysia and was its prime minister for more than three decades. \"The first of our founding fathers is no more,\" Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is Lee's son, told the nation in a televised speech Monday. \"He fought for our independence, built a nation where there was none and made us proud to be Singaporeans,\" Lee said.

My life.\" Lee's body will lie in state at Parliament House from Wednesday through Saturday. A state funeral will be held Sunday. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon issued a condolence statement and said Lee \"helped Singapore to transition from a developing country to one of the most developed in the world, transforming it into a thriving international business hub.\" President Obama called Lee a visionary who helped him formulate U.S. policy of \"rebalancing to the Asia Pacific,\" when the two met in Singapore in 2009. \"He was a true giant of history who will be remembered for generations to come as the father of modern Singapore and as one the great strategists of Asian affairs,\" the President said. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also praised the advice he got from Lee, calling it \"the most valuable and insightful I have received.\" \"He was, of course, a uniquely astute analyst and observer of Asia, and it is largely through his life's work that Singapore became one of the United States' strongest strategic partners in the region,\" Kerry said. Former President George H. W.

Owner Zhao Yang was arrested for operating a restaurant without a valid license shortly after local press ran a story alleging that Kenyan reporters were turned away from the restaurant -- for being African. Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper carried a story Monday that its reporters had been barred entry to the restaurant, being told by a guard at the entrance that \"the time for Africans is over\" when the journalists arrived at 7 p.m. Only locals accompanied by Chinese, European or Indian patrons would be admitted, the newspaper reported. It also reported that two local politicians, \"loyal patrons\" Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and former Cabinet Minister Raphael Tuju, had been admitted, the latter being a friend of the owner. Kenyan social media users were quickly up in arms about the ban, taking to Facebook and Twitter to voice their displeasure, using the hashtag #noblacksallowed. The establishment, known only as Chinese Restaurant, in the Kilimani neighborhood of Nairobi, has subsequently been closed after it transpired that it lacked several necessary licenses, said reports. The Daily Nation reported that the Chinese-owned eatery lacked liquor, health or change-of-use licences -- the latter needed as the property had been converted from a residence to a restaurant. Co-owner and restaurant manager Esther Zhao told the newspaper that the \"no Africans at night\" policy had its roots in security concerns. \"We don't admit Africans that we don't know because you never know who is Al-Shabaab and who isn't,\" she said, referencing the Islamist militant group that is active in Kenya and neighboring Somalia. \"It is not like it is written on somebody's face that they are a thug armed with a gun,\" she said. The restaurant's owners appeared to admit culpability in a statement reproduced in the newspaper. \"Because of the concern of the business environment at night and the bad memory of (a robbery in) 2013, we adopted certain measures. Unfortunately, some of the measures were inappropriate, we sincerely apologize for this,\" the management said in a statement. China is the largest outside investor in African economies but resentment against Chinese in Kenya and other African nations is significant as many Africans often regard Chinese businesses as, in the words of one Chinese journalist, \"resource predators\" or \"environmental vandals.\" One Kenyan reporter commenting on the restaurant's ban likened the policy to a new form of colonialism in Africa.

+{"article": "(CNN)The State Department only last month started automatically preserving dozens of high-level officials' emails, according to a department spokeswoman, a revelation that comes amid the controversy surrounding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's own email use. This is key because Clinton, in her news conference on Tuesday to answer questions about why she exclusively used a private email address to communicate during her tenure, told reporters she'd thought her communications to senior department officials were always saved. That's an important point, given legal requirements for preserving federal records. \"In meeting the record-keeping obligations, it was my practice to email government officials on their State or dot-gov accounts so that the emails were immediately captured and preserved,\" she said. The news about the State Department's archiving practices -- and the change that started in February -- could refuel the furor of Republicans over Clinton's choice to not use her government email account, to have a private server in her family home house her emails, and to decide (with her staff) which emails to delete and which to turn over to the State Department for review. Rep. Susan Brooks, a member of the select committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attack, said in the Republicans' weekly media address Saturday, \"You see, right now there is no way for us to know whether we have all of the State Department communications that rightfully belong to the American people.\" \"The only way to truly know is by having access to Secretary Clinton's personal server,\" the Indiana Republican added. \"We are asking Secretary Clinton to turn her server over to a neutral, third-party arbiter. After a complete inventory, this arbiter can make a determination as to which emails should be public and which should remain private. These decisions would be completely impartial and independent.\" So far, Brooks' committee had gotten just under 300 of Clinton's emails from the State Department. Last year, as it was trying to update its records, the State Department asked former secretaries of state for nonpersonal emails from their personal accounts that could be work-related. That request prompted Clinton to turn over 30,490 emails -- about 55,000 pages. Clinton has asked for those emails to be made public, and department officials are reviewing them to make sure no sensitive information is released. Clinton's office had said her account contained 62,320 sent and received emails from March 2009 to February 2013. \"About half were personal that were not in any way related to work. I had no reason to save them,\" Clinton said at her press conference. The fact that all emails from senior officials weren't automatically saved until recently doesn't mean they are gone, according to the State Department. \"I wouldn't state it's lost to history, because there are always -- there are technical means of gaining access to past information,\" spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Friday. At the same time, Psaki said the State Department chose to change its approach -- by automatically saving all emails -- \"because it's an imperfect system.\" \"This is a more efficient and better way,\" she said of the", "summary": "Hillary Clinton used a private email address while Secretary of State .

+{"article": "(CNN)Two former neighbors of Justin Bieber have filed a lawsuit against the pop star, claiming he and his bodyguards repeatedly harassed them and their family, vandalized their house with eggs and threatened them with anti-Semitic remarks. In the lawsuit Jeffrey and Suzanne Schwartz say Bieber hosted frequent loud parties and spat in Jeffrey Schwartz' face after he complained about the pop star driving his Ferrari at dangerous speeds down the street of their gated community in Calabasas, California. The suit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, also alleges Bieber's bodyguards dismissed Jeffrey Schwartz's complaints by taunting him repeatedly with \"what are you going to do about it, Jew boy?\" The suit seeks unspecified damages and a jury trial. Representatives for Bieber did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday afternoon. The lawsuit comes after Bieber, 21, pleaded guilty last July to a misdemeanor vandalism charge stemming from a January 9, 2014 incident in which the Schwartzes' house was pelted with dozens of eggs. Bieber agreed to pay $80,900 in restitution for damages to the house and was placed on two years' probation. It's the latest chapter in a string of legal troubles for the polarizing former teen idol, who in recent years has been convicted of careless driving and resisting arrest and is facing dangerous driving and assault charges after his ATV collided with a minivan last August in Canada. Thursday's lawsuit alleges a nine-month pattern of \"offensive\" behavior by Bieber and members of his entourage from March 2013 to January 2014. The Schwartzes, who lived next door to Bieber, claim the harassment escalated after a March 27, 2013 episode in which Bieber spat in Jeffrey Schwartz' face and threatened to \"f---ing kill\" him. The following year, after the egging episode made headlines, the Schwartzes say they and their children were subject to \"constant harassment\" by Bieber's entourage, fans and the media. The couple are seeking damages on the grounds of assault and battery and infliction of emotional distress.

Will the results -- a fourth term for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or a first for opposition leader Isaac Herzog -- change Israel's policy in a significant way? As Israelis prepare to go to the polls, the answer seems to be negative. Many observers in Europe and the United States seem to be under the impression that during Netanyahu's time in power, Israel was hijacked by right wing zealots -- and that Herzog, leader of the Zionist Union opposition party, is the man who will save the country and return it to the path of sanity. But the fact is that when it comes to the most crucial question regarding the future of Israel and the Middle East -- what to do about the Palestinians -- the difference between the two candidates is negligible, a divergence that is short on substance but long on style and rhetoric. While Netanyahu's insistence on Israel's continued ruling over millions of Palestinians is expressed in aggressive, often religious and nationalistic language, Herzog's justifications for doing the same thing would sound much softer and easier to digest in the Western world. But at the end of the day, neither Netanyahu nor Herzog have any real intention to put an end to the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Netanyahu says it clearly and openly; Herzog and his coalition partners only hint at it. READ MORE: 5 key issues for next Israeli leader .

The live stream from what is believed to be the wreck of the World War II battleship Musashi in the waters around the Philippines began at 9:03 a.m. local time (9:03 p.m. ET) Friday. An underwater camera showed various sections of the ship, which displaced 69,000 tons when it was built, putting it in the largest class of battleships at that time. [Previous story, posted at 7:47 p.m. ET] . It's a journey beneath the waves and back in time. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen plans to live-stream an underwater tour of a wreck off the Philippine coast that's believed to be the remains of a long-lost World War II Japanese battleship. Allen, a philanthropist, said last week that he and his research team had discovered the wreck of the Musashi, which was once one of the two largest warships in the world. They had been searching for the ship for more than eight years. After the discovery last week, the team shared photos and video footage of parts of the vessel. Now, they're planning to take viewers on a real-time tour of the wreck with the unmanned submersible they used to find it at a depth of around 1 kilometer (3,280 feet). The live-stream is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Friday, Philippines time (9 p.m. Thursday, ET). It's expected to show various parts of the warship, including the bow and stern sections and the conning tower. Launched in 1940, the Musashi was, at the time, the largest class of warship ever constructed, displacing more than 69,000 tons. It was one of two Yamato-class battleships constructed by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The ship sank on October 24, 1944, during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea, part of the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the central Philippines. According to U.S. Navy documents, torpedo planes from U.S. aircraft carriers scored at least 10 hits on the battleship over the course of four hours. Navy dive bombers also hit the ship 16 times, but it was the torpedo hits that doomed the Musashi. More than 1,000 of the Musashi's crew were killed during the battle and sinking. Over 1,300 survivors were taken aboard by other Japanese warships, according to the U.S. Navy report. \"We are proud to have played a role in finding this key vessel in naval history and are honored to share it with the survivors, the families of those who perished and the world,\" Allen said in a statement. He has said his long fascination with World War II history was inspired by his father's service in the U.S. Army. Last week, he tweeted images of the wreck, including one that he said showed the bow of the ship -- featuring a distinctive chrysanthemum, the emblem of Japan's royal family -- and a big anchor. Another photo showed valves on which the Japanese characters for \"main valve handle\" and \"open\" are legible.

Yet it was anything but as Lionel Messi's masterful first-half display had some purring once again about his status as the greatest footballer of all time. Meanwhile, the second half witnessed another masterclass as England international Joe Hart somehow kept City in a lively encounter with save after save. In between, the man that City usually rely on to dig them out of tight spots -- Sergio Aguero -- failed to score a late penalty that could have set up a tense finish. In truth, the English champions deserved little over the two legs as Barcelona built upon their 2-1 victory in Manchester three weeks ago to go through as 3-1 aggregate winners. The four-time champions may not have added the goals they deserved but they did reach the last eight for the eighth year in a row, a competition record. \"It was a game with a lot of chances where we could have finished it off a lot earlier,\" Barca coach Luis Enrique told reporters. \"We got what we wanted which was to go through to the next round and I am happy with the display. We played well and this is a big boost for us at this stage of the season.\" The high-profile scrutiny of the relationship between coach Enrique and Argentine superstar Lionel Messi suddenly seems a distant memory with Barca still capable of repeating their wonder year of 2009. On that occasion, they won the Champions League, La Liga and Spanish Super Cup under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, who was one of many enthralled spectators inside the Camp Nou. Now in charge of fellow quarterfinalists Bayern Munich, Guardiola was out of his seat -- seemingly in celebration -- as Ivan Rakitic opened the scoring after 31 minutes when lifting the ball over Hart following a fine pass from Messi. The diminutive Argentine flashed two free-kicks from distance onto the top of the goal netting while also displaying an array of twists, turns and embarrassing 'nutmegs' for his opponents. It was enough to make former England international Gary Lineker, the top scorer at the 1986 World Cup, proclaim him the best footballer ever. While that engrossing debate rumbles on, Messi set about trying to put the tie to bed but he met fierce resistance from Hart, who had kept City in the tie in the first leg when saving the Argentine's injury-time penalty. England's number one made 10 saves, the most of any keeper in any Champions League this season, not only repelling Messi but also Neymar and Suarez, both of whom were also denied by the post in the first half.

This is where the world's first cities were built and where writing and organized government were first developed more than 5,000 years ago. This is the land that gave the world its first great literary work -- the Epic of Gilgamesh, king of the city of Uruk -- over 1,000 years before Homer, and over 2,000 years before Christ. ISIS, like so many iconoclastic extremist groups through history, seeks to destroy the record of the past. In the past week, video has circulated showing neatly dressed figures wielding rather new-looking sledgehammers and destroying archaeological objects in the Mosul Museum. The spectacle would be ridiculous and pathetic if it were not so tragic. Although there are suggestions that some objects destroyed are only copies, many are said to be unique and irreplaceable objects that had survived thousands of years -- until now. ISIS has been busy trying to damage the famed Nergal Gate entry to the ancient city of Nineveh -- a city with a history reaching back thousands of years -- and most recently it is reportedly bulldozing the site of Nimrud, capital of the 9th-century B.C. Assyrian King Ashurnasirpal II, and source of the famed Nimrud ivories. These ivories were first cleaned by none other than Agatha Christie while accompanying her archaeologist husband, Max Mallowan, during his excavation. All attacks on archaeological sites and artifacts are brutal assaults on our collective human memory. They deprive us of the evidence of human endeavors and achievements. The destruction eloquently speaks of the human folly and senseless violence that drives ISIS.

Worse, these acts of destruction supposedly in the name of religion are dishonest and hypocritical: the same ISIS also is busy looting archaeological sites to support its thriving illegal trade in antiquities, causing further incalculable harm.

Archaeologists clearly need to do more to expand a global understanding of, and appreciation for, the heritage of the past. But it is not just a question for teachers, professors and museum curators; there needs to be much greater awareness and protection of the past across society, in Iraq, in the United States and around the world, from the government to the public. We need more archaeology education globally; in Iraq and in other ISIS-affected countries, but also among people everywhere in order to help communities -- from children on up -- understand the fragility of the archaeological record and its critical importance to understanding the human", "summary": "Sturt Manning: Video shows ISIS destroying apparent antiquities; they reflect rich history that is alternative to group's barbaric nihilism .

+{"article": "(CNN)The Rev. Fred Craddock, the pulpit giant who was \"like no other preacher you have ever heard,\" has died, his church announced. Craddock, who redefined the art of preaching, died Friday in Blue Ridge, Georgia. The cause has not been disclosed. The 86-year-old had been in declining health due to Parkinson's disease in recent years, according to the United Methodist Reporter. \"Fred Craddock was a national treasure and a devoted servant of the church and Jesus Christ. His impact on preaching -- in terms both of scholarship and practice -- is incalculable,\" said the Rev. Thomas Long, a friend and a pastor at Emory University's Candler School of Theology. Craddock faces his toughest convert . Preachers studied classic Craddock sermons such as \"Have You Heard John Preach?\" and \"Grace and Disgrace,\" much like aspiring jazz musicians listened to saxophonist John Coltrane and amateur boxers studied tapes of Sugar Ray Robinson -- for clues to greatness and inspiration. Craddock elevated preaching to an art. He was often called a preaching genius. Rather than deliver a sermon like a lecture -- an intro, three main points and a conclusion -- he developed an \"inductive\" conversational style of preaching. His sermons unfolded like a short story -- there was foreshadowing, plot twists, dialogue; language of startling beauty and surprise endings. The way he ended his sermons was as memorable as what he said. He would abruptly stop, turn from the pulpit, and quietly sit as the audience sat in silence. People didn't applaud or shout hallelujah after his sermons. They were too busy absorbing what he had just said. The Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, an author and world-renowned preacher, once said of Craddock: \"He spoke of Kierkegaard as easily as he spoke of the Indianapolis 500. He quoted Kafka as helpfully as Corinthians... but he was also someone who noticed a lot about ordinary human life on earth.\" Craddock, who taught preaching at the Candler School of Theology until his retirement, was selected as one of the 12 most effective preachers in the English-speaking world in a poll of 341 seminary professors and editors of religious periodicals in 1996. I had a chance to meet Craddock, as well as hear him. I spent several weeks with him in the autumn of 2011 to write a profile about his relationship with his father. He was just as impressive outside the pulpit. He would ease his rotund little body in a wooden chair and share touching stories about growing up poor in the small town of Humboldt, Tennessee, during the Depression with an alcoholic father. He'd talk about the infirmities of old age -- I remember saying with a chuckle that \"I should have something\" when referring to his bout with Parkinson's because he was getting old. He was funny, folksy, witty and his eyes danced with glee when he told a story. Sitting in Craddock's presence was like listening to a wise uncle or grandmother. He had courtly, Southern manners, and he gave the impression that he had all the time in the world for you.", "summary": "Fred Craddock revolutionized art of preaching .

+{"article": "Los Angeles (CNN)No one knew him by his real name. But on the harsh streets of Skid Row that became his home, he was known as Africa. Surveillance footage, police and homeless community activists paint wildly different pictures of the man -- one who could be violent, benevolent, troubled and altruistic. Africa was shot and killed by Los Angeles police Sunday after he scuffled with officers. The shooting, caught on video, has renewed accusations of police brutality because it showed him already on the ground. Police say he tried to reach for an officer's gun. The Los Angeles County coroner's office has identified Africa, but is not releasing his real name pending notification of relatives. Africa came to the United States from the continent about a decade ago, said a friend who would only be identified as Nick G. Like Africa, Nick had also been homeless on the streets of Skid Row -- a decrepit area wrought with poverty and despair. \"He wanted to get away from here, he wanted to go back home,\" Nick said. \"He was very depressed. Very, very depressed. He had a good side to him, a good heart.\" Africa kept a tent outside the Union Rescue Mission homeless shelter. Even though the shelter was right in front of him, he didn't want the help. Instead, Africa often helped the shelter's employees. \"Our cleaning guys -- he would help them organize cleaning of (the) sidewalk,\" said the Rev. Andy Bales, the shelter's CEO. He described Africa as gentle and kind -- but with an erratic side. \"I attribute the erratic behavior to this difficult environment out here.\" Less than an hour before he was killed Sunday, a nearby security camera showed Africa apparently dealing drugs -- the sad and only real currency of Skid Row's economy. The footage then shows Africa getting into a fight with the man in the orange tent next to him, violently tipping the tent and kicking the man. Police arrive and talk to Africa, but he jumps into the tent -- prompting officers to draw their guns. Africa then jumps out, swinging his arms at police. Los Angeles police say he tried to grab an officer's gun, and that's when he was shot. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck called the incident \"an extreme tragedy.\" \"We feel great compassion in the LAPD for people who live in conditions of homelessness, and often mental illness, with no treatment,\" Beck said. \"We prepare our officers to deal as best they can with them, but the reality is this is much more than a problem that the police alone can solve.\" Bales said the dismal conditions of LA's Skid Row makes it a tinder box for more problems. \"There is no other major city in the U.S. that has a skid row like ours,\" he said. \"2,000 human beings living on the street. Until we deal with that, we're going to continue to have an explosive situation.\" On the sidewalk where Africa was shot, a modest memorial sits atop a small pile of belongings. \"RIP Cameroon,\"", "summary": "The man known as Africa often helped employees at a homeless shelter .

For more than a decade, the great American had vanquished all comers in the 200 meters butterfly on both the world and Olympic stage, but then along came Chad le Clos. When the South African chased down Phelps in the final 50 meters of the race to snatch a dramatic fingertip victory by 0.05 seconds he created one of the defining moments of the 2012 London Olympics. As a 12-year-old, le Clos had gazed into his television set at home in Durban watching in awe as Phelps, widely regarded as the greatest swimmer of all-time, won six Olympic gold medals at Athens in 2004. So perhaps it's not surprising that lining up alongside his hero in an Olympic final eight years later took on a slightly surreal air. \"My dream was always to swim like Michael Phelps so when I raced against him in the final it was actually a crazy feeling,\" le Clos tells CNN's Human to Hero series. \"When I touched at 150 (meters) I think I was 1.5 meters behind him. When I turned I actually looked at him underwater and I thought I was him -- I know it sounds absolutely crazy, but I saw myself as him going past someone else.\" \"I remembered how he used to come off the last turn and, you know, smoke everyone ... I thought, he's done this for so many years and I remembered that when I was swimming. I don't know what it was but it was magical.\" The mind-altering moment quickly morphed into a life-changing experience for the then 20-year-old who edged out Phelps in the final stroke. \"It was such a huge moment for South Africa. Obviously, to represent your country is a huge honor but to beat Michael Phelps at the Olympics was amazing,\" he says. \"As a young kid everyone wants to be like their heroes but you don't actually think one day that you're going to beat them.\" The remarkable victory was memorable not just for le Clos' reactions -- which went from joy to disbelief immediately after the race -- but for those of his father Bert, whose elated response and subsequent TV interview have become an enduring part of the swimmer's story. The excitable tribute to his \"down-to-earth, beautiful boy,\" which included repeated mentions of the word \"unbelievable,\" touched the hearts of viewers and turned le Clos senior into something of a household name himself. \"I never knew my father was such a celebrity until like five, six days after the Games -- I was so wrapped up in (my own) bubble,\" le Clos explains. \"We were walking down the street and everyone was taking photos of me, but I couldn't find my dad, and I saw him and there were a line of people taking photos of him and I was like: 'Dad! You are stealing my thunder here. C'mon!' It was incredible. \"Everywhere he goes", "summary": "South African swimmer stunned Michael Phelps at 2012 London Olympics .

+{"article": "(CNN)Hillary Clinton held a closed door meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House on Monday. Although the former secretary of state, senator and first lady has not declared, it is treated as a foregone conclusion that Clinton is running for president. Likely to launch her campaign in April, Clinton is regarded as the front-runner \u2014 if not the only Democratic candidate \u2014 and the inevitable Democratic nominee. There is an assumption that since Clinton supported Obama, the black community will now embrace her. But there are more than a few who didn't get that memo. At this stage of the game, many African-Americans may not be excited about a candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016. And after two terms of the nation's first black president, she should proceed with caution. Clinton need look no further than the 2008 contest, when black voters doused water on her presidential prospects. Early on, Clinton was the favorite of black folks, lest you forgot, and it did not hurt that President Clinton had been regarded as the \"first black president\" with high approval among African-Americans. Then, support for a senator named Barack Obama blew up after the Iowa caucuses. And Clinton found herself apologizing for her husband's comments about Obama's win in the South Carolina primary. President Clinton was relieved of his black card privileges for the remainder of the 2008 election season when he compared Obama's win in the Palmetto state to that of Jesse Jackson in 2004 and 2008, suggesting that Obama, like Jackson, would not win. The misstep was an affront to many African-Americans, as were Hillary Clinton's suggestions on the campaign trail that Obama was only good for making speeches, but not for taking action. And let's not forget her assertions that she was the candidate for \"hard-working Americans, white Americans.\" We can chalk up some of that rhetoric to spirited campaign-trail junk-talking, and obviously much has happened since the 2008 election. President Obama made Clinton his secretary of state, and she served as a capable top diplomat and a loyal member of the Obama Cabinet. But that does not mean black voters will completely forget the bitter, racially tinged presidential campaign politics of seven years ago. Black voters are among the most loyal of the Democratic Party base, and their record high turnout for Obama was an important part of his victory. However, with a charismatic Obama no longer on the ballot, maintaining the same level of enthusiasm for any other candidate is a challenge. theGrio.com: Blacks are treated 72% as well as whites . Moreover, as for Clinton, who (understandably?) has her own ideas and may not agree with the President on certain issues, any criticism of Obama could cost her some black voters. Remember that Clinton voted in favor of the unpopular, costly and deadly Iraq war. That support cost Clinton in 2008. And while she has remained silent on the recent re-election of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Clinton's strongly pro-Israel stance on Mideast peace now appears at odds with the emerging consensus among major groups in", "summary": "David Love: The former secretary of state would need to woo African-American voters to turn out in big numbers for 2016 .

+{"article": "(CNN)Schools in New York City have decided to observe two Muslim holidays and close schools for them. After all, for decades, kids have gotten Christian and Jewish holidays off. Why not add Muslim holidays to the list? Conservative Family Research Council president Tony Perkins went predictably apoplectic, saying that it was evidence of \"discrimination\" against Christians. To Perkins, \"family\" apparently does not include \"non-Christian families.\" Perkins' position is that kids get Easter and Christmas off, but we call those holidays \"winter break\" and \"spring break.\" I hate to ally myself with such people, but I sort of agree that Mayor Bill de Blasio's decision is a bad one. However, not for the reasons expressed by Perkins. I simply find it to be a problematic endorsement of religion by the secular state. I cannot support the government endorsing religion of any kind. There was once a time when most people considered the United States to be a \"Christian\" country. However, that notion was never the intent of our founders and is not consistent with a pluralistic and enlightened nation. Unfortunately, even recent events have shown us that there are a lot of ignorant Americans who still think Islam is \"un-American.\" Because of that, I support measures that tell Muslims that they are our brothers and sisters, too. Nobody should feel less welcome or \"American\" on the basis of the religion they practice, or whether they believe in any religion at all. But this is the wrong way. First of all, virtually every recognized religion is practiced in New York City. Unfortunately, now only three of them have some kind of \"officially acknowledged\" status. Christians, Jews and Muslims have their holidays off, but what about New York's other religions? What about my religion? March 6 has long been \"The Day of the Dude,\" and as a Dudeist minister, should I not demand respect for my beliefs, by insisting that the school district \"take 'er easy\" on that date every year? Pastafarianism is a recognized religion. Pastafarians believe that every Friday is a holiday. Perhaps it is time for us all to be touched by the noodly appendage of the Flying Spaghetti Monster on a weekly basis. By selecting only three \"approved\" religions for respect, we send the message that we value the beliefs of some over those of others. Such a mentality has no place in a secular country -- even if we have a history of recognizing some Abrahamic religions' holidays. Because therein lies a theory behind the establishment clause. We don't rank belief systems here. In Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971), the U.S. Supreme Court gave us a three-part test to determine whether governmental conduct violates the Establishment Clause: (1) the governmental action must have a secular purpose, (2) it must have a principal or primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits religion, and (3) it may not foster an excessive governmental entanglement with religion.

I used to love these peaceful moments on the way to work. Sadly, they will likely never feel quite the same again. On Wednesday, that kind of mood was shattered as the museum came under siege. More than two dozen people were killed as gunmen armed with Kalashnikovs opened fire, sending men, women and children scrambling through the Lion Gate to escape. The members of parliament who were evacuated were, ironically, discussing an anti-terror bill in a committee. Two of the attackers -- who were killed during the assault -- have been identified, and the security minister on Friday indicated the pair had been activated from a sleeper cell, although at the time of writing authorities had yet to announce a link to a specific jihadist group. However, the attack followed the release of videos purportedly from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria threatening Tunisia. Meanwhile, individuals associated with the banned Tunisian organization Ansar Al-Sharia declared allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. All this has left some wondering if the museum attack marks a shift in strategy for ISIS. Have Salafist terrorists moved beyond their usual guerrilla-style operations to suicidal attacks outside Iraq and Syria? If they have, then our political leaders -- who have already been vocal about their commitment to combating terrorism, and have been collaborating with Turkey to prevent Tunisians entering Syria -- will need to redouble their efforts. The threat posed by terrorism to Tunisian citizens and our guests can't be downplayed, much less ignored. However, the reality is that a comprehensive strategy is still wanting, a point made in a recent report published by the Tunisian Institute for Strategic Studies, Tunisia's foremost think tank on political, economic and environmental matters. Indeed, the institute, which has tracked the upsurge in Salafi jihadi recruitment in Tunisia based on fieldwork and interviews with Tunisian jihadists, has documented how the phenomenon has largely unfolded outside the media's view. So, how should we respond? Some MPs have demanded the immediate passage of a new anti-terror law, and have been dismissive of the need to focus on human rights at a time of crisis. However, Wednesday's attack doesn't change the fact that we already have an anti-terror law that applies; simply passing a new version of a law will not stop a repeat. Instead, Tunisians should build on the stable institutions we have in place to implement some of the key ideas contained in the institute's report. For example, rather than rely exclusively on the Tunisian security apparatus for short-term gain, we need to better engage the Tunisian public in our common struggle against Salafi terrorists.

+{"article": "(CNN)A year-and-a-half ago, when the Jesus edition of Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's ongoing book series about the deaths of famous people was released, O'Reilly did the talk show circuit to promote the book. To \"60 Minutes\" O'Reilly professed that his \"Killing Jesus\" is not a religious book. It was purely historical, said the Fox News host. He said it investigates the political circumstances surrounding the most famous death of all time. When asked why Jesus was killed, O'Reilly said, \"He was upset that the Jews were taxing -- and overtaxing, extorting -- the folks.\" Jesus was executed, according to O'Reilly, not because he claimed to be God, but because he interrupted the \"money flow\" of taxes to the Romans and the Jewish temple leaders. As a theologian, I must say that O'Reilly buried the lead. The death of Jesus of Nazareth, at least historically speaking, was just one more ignominious execution of a peasant Jew in a long line of such executions. A century before Jesus' death, the Romans crucified about 6,000 slaves on the roads leading to Rome, putting to an end the Third Servile War. Like Jesus, these slaves stood up to the Roman Empire and were quickly defeated. Crucifixion was common. Five things Bill O'Reilly flubs in 'Killing Jesus' Jesus' death was unique because of its theological and religious import. At least that's what his earliest followers decided upon reflection. Jesus was not the messiah that the Hebrews had anticipated. In fact, he'd done just about the opposite of what was expected: preached peace, lived in relative obscurity, and died young. Jesus was most definitely an outsider -- on this O'Reilly and I agree. He lived in the outer reaches of the empire, a non-citizen with few rights. Even his Galilean accent was considered backwoods in the metropolis of Jerusalem. Whether it was the Roman occupying force or the powerful temple leaders, they must have thought, \"Jesus is not like us.\" So it's pleasantly surprising that the TV movie based on O'Reilly's book casts a Muslim actor, Haaz Sleiman, as Jesus. Sleiman was raised in Lebanon. He is thick-featured and broad-shouldered. And he is robustly hirsute, the very opposite of the wispily-bearded Ted Neely from the Jesus Christ Superstar of my youth. Speaking of Ted Neely, he is just one in a long line of blue-eyed Jesuses in art and film. For a long time, the actors chosen to play Jesus have looked more like O'Reilly and me than like a Judean. Sleiman is a welcome break from that tradition, but some people have voiced displeasure at his casting. Having a Muslim portray the founder of Christianity, they contend, is an offense. Sleiman disagrees. \"My religion is inclusivity,\" Sleiman told me, and he is an effective evangelist of that religion. He is unashamed to talk about his connection to God, his respect for all three Abrahamic faiths -- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- and in the \"beauty and magnificence of humanity.\" To play Jesus, Sleiman said, he simply focused on the divinity that he believes is available to", "summary": "A TV movie based on O'Reilly's book \"Killing Jesus\" casts a Muslim actor as Jesus .

For Jamaani, this isn't just a race for time. It is a run for recognition. \"It means that you run for peace,\" Jamaani says. Two weeks before this marathon, more than 25,000 runners took part in the Jerusalem Marathon. The race was a celebration of sport in a citywide event that drew international attention and competition. The course took runners through old and new Jerusalem. They were free to run. But in Bethlehem, runners say they run to be free. \"We are trying to inspire people to take their own rights,\" says organizer Signe Fischer, \"and the right of movement is the only right that you can physically just claim. You can put on your running shoes and just take it.\" The Palestine Marathon is put on by the Palestine Olympic Committee and the Right to Movement, a nonprofit organization that uses running as a means of activism. They focus their efforts on what they see as one of the most basic rights: movement. Many of the runners are Palestinian, and their movement is limited, Israel says, for security reasons. The marathon course took runners along the West Bank separation barrier, into the Aida refugee camp, and under guard towers. Nader al-Masri won the marathon. He is from Gaza, and he says he had to wait five hours at the Erez border crossing to compete. He arrived in Manger Square at the finish line to a hero's welcome. \"I saw parts of the wall all over. It's very hard, but I'm still proud of myself as a Palestinian,\" says al-Masri. In its third year, the marathon drew runners from all over the world, pilgrims of a sort making a journey to the holy land, not for religion, but for sport. \"It's an achievement,\" said Jamaani after finishing. \"Everyone looks for an achievement in life, and one of them was crossing this line, especially in the Palestine Marathon.\" For runners like Jamaani, the marathon is a statement made one step at a time.", "summary": "More than 3,000 runners came to the West Bank . \"It means that you run for peace,\" Sana Jamaani says ."}
+{"article": "(CNN)Two years after she underwent a double mastectomy to cut her cancer risk, actress and U.N. envoy Angelina Jolie has had surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes for the same reason, she wrote in The New York Times on Tuesday. Jolie, 39, carries a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which sharply increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Her mother was diagnosed with the latter at age 49 and died seven years later. In her New York Times op-ed Tuesday, Jolie said she had been planning the latest preventive surgery for some time. Doctors: Angelina Jolie did the right thing . But a blood test that revealed worrying markers accelerated the process, the Hollywood star said. Her doctor told her he wanted her to see a surgeon immediately to check her ovaries. \"I went through what I imagine thousands of other women have felt,\" she wrote. \"I told myself to stay calm, to be strong, and that I had no reason to think I wouldn't live to see my children grow up and to meet my grandchildren.\" Her husband, Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt, was on a plane back from France within hours, she wrote. \"The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity. You know what you live for and what matters. It is polarizing, and it is peaceful,\" she wrote. Further tests came back negative for tumors, Jolie wrote. \"There was still a chance of early stage cancer, but that was minor compared with a full-blown tumor. To my relief, I still had the option of removing my ovaries and fallopian tubes and I chose to do it.\" Jolie stresses that not all women with the same BRCA1 gene mutation should feel they must automatically leap to surgery, but she urges them to explore their options and take control. Her family history -- she lost her grandmother and aunt to cancer, as well as her mother -- combined with the gene mutation meant that in her case, the removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes seemed the best course. While not as complex as the mastectomy surgery, its effects are more severe, Jolie said, since it puts a woman into forced menopause. She must now take estrogen and progesterone in order to keep a hormonal balance. She will not be able to have more children and foresees physical changes, she said. But Jolie acknowledged she was lucky because she already has a family, unlike some women who face this difficult decision. \"It is not possible to remove all risk, and the fact is I remain prone to cancer,\" she said. \"I will look for natural ways to strengthen my immune system. I feel feminine, and grounded in the choices I am making for myself and my family. I know my children will never have to say, 'Mom died of ovarian cancer.'\" Opinion: I know how Jolie feels .

+{"article": "(CNN)If you were the member of a minority group and tried to create a system to control and oppress the majority, you could not have done a better job than the white leaders of Ferguson, Missouri. Let's start with the demographics. Ferguson is small -- roughly 20,000 residents -- and is 67% black and 29% white. Over the past decade, Ferguson's population has changed from majority white to majority black. Its elected officials did not. Five of six City Council members are white, as is the city's mayor. How does this happen in a city two-thirds black? Two answers: timing of elections and type of elections. Ferguson, like most municipalities, holds elections in April of odd-numbered years. However research shows that such \"off-cycle\" elections reduces voter turnout. Ferguson also holds nonpartisan elections, which means that there are no party labels on the ballot. This not only reduces the likelihood that people will vote, it also has been shown to reduce what voters know about the candidates. Although Missouri does not track the race of its voters, according to an article in The Washington Post, Catalist, a private voter data firm, performed a study and found that the voting rules operating in Ferguson effectively suppress the black vote. In the national election in November 2012, the study found, voter turnout between blacks (54%) and whites (55%) was virtually identical. But because of the vast racial differences in the city's population, it resulted in an electorate that was 71% black and 28% white. Fast-forward five months later in April, when whites were three times (17%) more likely to vote than blacks (6%). That resulted in an electorate that was majority white: 52% versus 47%. That is how a majority-black population winds up with almost all-white elected representatives. Ferguson's law enforcement officers are also not representative, with roughly 94% of its police force being white. Similarly Ferguson's local judges are nonrepresentative. I'm sensing a pattern here. Local judges are appointed by the Ferguson City Council upon nomination by the mayor for a two-year term. The Ferguson Municipal Court is also all-white. But the black citizens of Ferguson apparently keep the police and local judges very busy. In 2013, Ferguson had the highest number of warrants issued in the state, when you control for size: 3.6 pending arrest warrants per household and 2.2 arrest warrants on average per person. And 95% of people arrested for jaywalking in Ferguson are black. While 67% of the population is black, 86% of vehicle stops involve a black driver. While 29% of the population is white, 12.9% of vehicle stops involve a white driver. Blacks were almost twice as likely to be searched as whites, even though searches of blacks were less likely than whites to result in contraband being found (21% vs. 34%). Nobody said racism made sense. But for Ferguson, it has made money. In prior years Ferguson tried to raise sales tax but learned the hard way that it did not result in increased revenue because people voted with their feet and took their wealth with them.", "summary": "Dorothy Brown: Ferguson political system has been effective at oppressing majority .

Cook said the new watch, in addition to telling the time, was a \"comprehensive health and fitness companion.\" But we're unlikely to hear much about how people will actually use this new product for some time. Our research has found that smartwatches certainly do have some benefits for users. But they also have a hidden, darker side which the companies selling them are unlikely to talk about. As part of a research project with Alberto Rizzoli, we have tried to understand what drives people to invest in smartwatches. One participant, a judge, hoped he could keep track of the deluge of emails during long hours in the courtroom when he had to pay attention -- and be seen to pay attention. The dilemma is familiar to many of us. We spend our days engaged in social interaction. Huge proportions of our time are taken up with meetings or impromptu encounters with colleagues. However when we are in these meetings, our smartphone is buzzing away reminding us that our inbox is filling up. We may want to check these incoming messages, but know it would be rude to glance at our phone. When one of the first smartwatches came to market, the judge thought he had found the solution to this problem. We found that heavy smartwatch users valued how the devices helped them track information as it arrived while still appearing socially attentive. It also saved users the hassle of having to dig through their pockets or handbags to find a buzzing phone. Surprisingly only about half the people we spoke with actually used all the health tracking technology built in to the watches. They were more interested in keeping abreast of their inbox than their calorie count. We also noticed a worrying side to these new devices as heavy users of the watches incorporate them into their daily routines -- we call it the \"phantom device effect.\" They would compulsive check their watch not just for the time, but for a wide range of information. In some cases their new gizmo would become such an instinctive part of their life that even when not wearing one they would check their bare wrist. Some would feel a phantom buzz, notifying them of an imaginary incoming email. The phantom device effect leads us to ask about just how ingrained in our daily habits these devices might become.

The police findings could put to rest a complicated controversy about the alleged gang rape of a female student at a fraternity party. The accusation has been controversial because of the nature of such a crime and because the accusation itself has been clouded by subsequent questions about the Rolling Stone article. After the account was published last fall, Rolling Stone magazine later apologized for discrepancies in its article about the alleged gang rape after friends of the victim expressed doubts about the woman's account and the accused fraternity chapter denied key details. CNN senior media correspondent Brian Stelter described Rolling Stone's announcement as falling short of a full-scale retraction. It remains unclear what really happened to the female student, Stelter said. \"We are in the phase here where Rolling Stone is trying to figure that out,\" Stelter said in December. \"They've apologized, but not retracted. So they're not saying the story is false.

The medieval monarch's skeleton has been kept at the university since its discovery beneath a council car parking lot in the city sparked excitement around the world in August 2012. But on Sunday the bones -- which have been studied by archaeologists and experts from all fields in the years since -- ended their tenure as scientific specimens and became, once more, the mortal remains of a king. Some 35,000 people lined the streets of Leicester and the surrounding towns and villages as the cortege wound its way through the countryside to the site of Richard's final battle, Bosworth, where he died in 1485, before returning to the city for a commemoration at Leicester Cathedral. The day began on the freshly-mown lawns in front of the university's Fielding Johnson Building, where a crowd gathered for a solemn service of farewell, dignitaries dressed in their Sunday best alongside students and local families clad in jeans and waterproof jackets in case of a March shower. Leicester University student Anna Boyer, from North Carolina, said she and her classmates had come to watch the ceremony \"so I can say I was here,\" adding: \"It's an important historical event -- we don't have things like this in the States.\" Leicester alumni Sara and Leeroy Paskell brought their daughters Saoirse, 6, and Orlaith, 9, to watch the cortege pass by. \"We thought it would be nice for the children to see it,\" said Sara Paskell. \"It is amazing to be part of history, it makes me really proud of the university and of Leicester.\" That pride is something which those who helped in the search for Richard III share. Leicester University's president and vice-chancellor Paul Boyle said the discovery of the bones had been a \"defining moment\" which \"reshaped history,\" and pointed out that the university had been custodian of Richard III's remains for longer than he ruled England. Genetics expert Turi King, who proved the identity of the bones by matching their DNA to a living relative of the monarch, Michael Ibsen, said: \"It has been an amazing project to be part of -- we all feel very privileged to be involved.\" King, who read Robert Frost's poem \"The Road Not Taken\" at the university service and laid a white rose -- a reminder of Richard's heritage as a member of the House of York -- on the coffin, said she considered the commemorations the end of a chapter in his story, but not the end of the story itself; she is still working to sequence his entire genome.

+{"article": "(CNN)Boko Haram, the Nigeria-based Islamist terror group, has pledged allegiance to ISIS, according to an audio message purported to be from Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau. In the audio, which was posted online Saturday, the speaker says Boko Haram is announcing its \"allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims, Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Husseini al-Qurashi,\" which is another name for ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. CNN has not been able to independently authenticate the message. But Jacob Zenn, an expert on the terror group and is with the Jamestown Foundation, said the recording appeared to be authentic. He said that while other messages have been faked, the speaker in this one is Shekau. \"Boko Haram joining the ISIS fold makes sense to both groups,\" he said from Abuja, Nigeria. \"Boko Haram will get legitimacy, which will help its recruiting, funding and logistics as it expands into (French-speaking) West Africa. It will also get guidance from ISIS in media warfare and propaganda. Previously Boko Haram was a sort of outcast in the global Jihadi community. Now it is perhaps ISIS's biggest affiliate. \"ISIS gets more international legitimacy as a global caliphate.\" Zenn said the allegiance will be official when an ISIS leader such as spokesman Abu Mohammed al Adnani issues a statement. Boko Haram has had two main factions -- one led by Shekau and the other comprising former members of Ansaru, a Boko Haram offshoot. Ansaru had been operating from around 2012 as the Nigerian wing of AQIM (al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb). After the French-led intervention in Mali in 2013, a significant number of Ansaru members re-integrated with Shekau, Zenn told CNN. The prerequisite for Boko Haram joining ISIS coalition was a coming together of two factions. ISIS connected with former Ansaru fighters within Boko Haram and pressed them to further unify the group's ranks. The result was the formation of a unity general command between the two factions. That involved bridging of some ideological differences between the al Qaeda-like Ansaru and the ultra extreme \"takfiri\"-like Shekau. The pledge follows a period during which Shekau's faction had been mimicking ISIS, including praising al-Baghdadi and featuring his image in their videos and photos. Zenn said that until recently there had been little feedback from ISIS, apart from a few references to Nigerian jihadis in recent issues of the English-language Dabiq magazine. It appears that a month ago ISIS set up a Twitter account on which Saturday's message was linked, Zenn said. The Twitter handle was mutually promoted by Boko Haram and ISIS. In July, Shekau voiced support for ISIS, and declared a overtaken town in northeast Nigeria to be part of an Islamic caliphate. But he also said he was praying for al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and Taliban leader Mullah Omar. U.S. intelligence officials have some doubts the two groups would get along.

+{"article": "(CNN)What's better than the sun on a March day in Europe, at the tail end of winter with spring on the doorstep? No sun, apparently. That was the verdict of many around the continent, who found Friday morning's solar eclipse picture perfect. Millions from around North Africa, the Middle East as well as Europe woke up with a chance to see the rare cosmic event. For some of them, it was a partial eclipse; but others -- say if you were at the North Pole, or in Svalbard or the Faroe Islands between Iceland and Norway -- got the full deal. Such eclipses are basically as old as the galaxy itself, happening when the moon and sun are at just the right distance from the Earth and they appear to be of the same apparent size in the sky -- even though the sun is actually about 400 times larger. An eclipse happens when the moon passes right in front of the sun, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on the Earth. That means what used to be morning suddenly looks like nighttime again, until the sun and moon get out of each other's way. Staring at the sun anytime can be a bit dangerous, even when it's there, not there, then there again during an eclipse. That's where the term \"eclipse blindness\" -- which is really retinal burns -- comes from. Luckily, a lot of those peering into the skies Friday came prepared. At least that was the case for famous Bayern Munich footballers Xabi Alonso and Pepe Reina, who looked cool looking up in their 3-D movie-type glasses. Or a bunch of children at Stockport Grammar, a British school not far from Manchester. One of them looked more like a welder than a stargazer but didn't seem to mind, giving a thumbs-up to the view. Not everyone was similarly enthused; not because they don't love a good eclipse, but because they don't like a bad one. CNN's Nick Thompson in London, for instance, went out hoping for an out-of-this-world experience and instead saw little more than a bunch of clouds. He wasn't alone, as many in Britain in particular didn't get the big show they'd hoped for. Clouds be damned, some folks there used a sun costume, along with an Earth-and-moon prop, to put on a show of their own. If the sun won't come out for you, then you might as well be the sun, their reasoning went. Even in the United Kingdom, whether you were Glasgow University students cheering when a glimpse of the eclipse emerged from the clouds or a bird soaring the sky, there was a lot of enthusiasm for the eclipse. And there were even more cheers elsewhere, in Berlin, Beirut and beyond. Norwegians, especially, got some of the most spectacular perspectives. Eclipses aren't everyday events, and they're getting less common. While there will be more full eclipses, they will get rarer and rarer as the moon moves away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters (about 1.5 inches) every year.", "summary": "The moon blocks the sun, casts a shadow across parts of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East .

+{"article": "(CNN)Is there anything Monopoly can't do? Over the course of its 80-year life, it's been played underwater, underground, in space (OK, just the tokens) and on giant game boards. It's used chocolate and featured real money. There have been games that barely lasted the night and marathon contests that went on for weeks. Not bad for a game that, according to lore, maker Parker Brothers originally rejected for containing \"52 fundamental errors.\" March 19 marks the official 80th anniversary of the world's best-selling board game, now manufactured by Hasbro. Its circuitous history, like its game board, has been filled with several interesting turns. Here are a few: . Legend has it that Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, invented the game in his kitchen in 1930. But the roots of Monopoly actually date back a few more decades, to a game called the Landlord's Game created by Elizabeth Magie in 1903. The Landlord's Game was meant to be educational, illustrating economist Henry George's belief -- inspired by the Gilded Age -- that property ownership by individuals is inherently unfair. Magie's game was an underground success, leading to a number of offshoots, including the one that Darrow tweaked. Parker Brothers bought her patent for $500 in 1935, closing the loop. As for Darrow, he was inspired in 1932 by a version created by a New Jersey Quaker community that made Atlantic City the locale of the game. Darrow added colors and other design elements -- \"a look and feel to his board that would prove immensely appealing,\" writes Philip E. Orbanes in \"Monopoly,\" a 2006 history of the game. Darrow's game was initially rejected by Parker Brothers for three errors -- not 52 -- but when his independent sales took off, Parker Brothers bought the game from him. The date? March 19, 1935. The numbers are staggering. Monopoly has been translated into 47 languages. It's played in 114 countries. It's sold more than 275 million copies. Hasbro prints $30 billion in Monopoly money each year, and well more than $3 trillion has been printed since 1935. Not bad considering each standard game comes with $20,580 -- though it's in the rules that the bank can never go broke, so make up some scrip if you need it. Incidentally, the Monopoly Man -- named Rich Uncle Pennybags -- was likely based on mustachioed financier J.P. Morgan. Even before numerous editions of Monopoly were widely licensed, there were local board variations depending on the country. Boardwalk, for example, is Mayfair in Britain, Schlossallee in Germany, Kalverstraat in the Netherlands and Rue de la Paix in France, after major streets in London, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris. Other streets have also drawn from local geography. The new \"Here & Now\" U.S. edition, however, opened the voting to enthusiasts -- and Pierre (population 14,000), the capital of South Dakota, won pride of place as Boardwalk. (Lima, Peru, won the World Edition.) Pierre was one of 60 cities in the running, Mayor Laurie Gill said, and was \"in the bottom of the pack\" when she was informed of the contest.", "summary": "Monopoly celebrates 80th anniversary on Thursday .

+{"article": "(CNN)The attempts by some in the GOP to undermine President Barack Obama's Iranian policy certainly seem extraordinary. First, the Republican leadership invited Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress without consulting the White House, and he duly warned against softening of the West's line on Iran. Now, 47 senators have written an open letter to the Iranian regime to advise that any deal agreed to with Obama could be reversed after the 2016 presidential election. It is an astonishing move. But this is not, strictly speaking, unique. People in both parties have done far more remarkable things in the past. Back in 1983, Sen. Edward Kennedy tried to set up a personal diplomatic channel with the Soviet Union -- effectively sidestepping President Ronald Reagan. Working through proxies, he suggested that he visit Moscow to meet with the communist leadership and offered to help them make their case to the American people as to why they preferred dialogue over confrontation. As Washington Post journalist Vincent Bzdek notes in his book \"The Kennedy Legacy,\" this occurred close to a U.S. presidential election, and some conservatives have interpreted it as an act of treason -- perhaps even a breach of the Logan Act, which forbids private citizens from engaging in diplomacy with the goal of changing foreign policy. One might argue that the senator was motivated by high ideals: He had a clear record of campaigning to reduce Cold War tensions and thought Reagan was mishandling the Soviets. On more than one occasion, Kennedy politicized foreign policy while in the Senate. In my book on the 1980 Democratic presidential primaries, I note that Kennedy opposed Jimmy Carter's hard-line stance on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan -- a position that was well-intentioned, prophetic and somewhat advantageous to Kennedy's campaign for the Democratic nomination. But it's not only Democrats who have done that. Step forward, Richard Nixon. In 1968, the presidential election looked close. With the Johnson administration edging toward a peace deal in Vietnam, Nixon's team rolled the dice. According to an account in Politico, Anna Chennault, a Republican activist, was given a message to pass onto the South Vietnamese government: If they undermined the peace talks by being stubborn, the Democrats would lose the election and Nixon as the next president would offer them better terms. The South Vietnamese indeed proved intransigent, and the Republicans won the White House. No evidence exists directly tying Nixon personally to the conspiracy, but we now know for sure that it happened and it's far hard to imagine that it would have gone ahead without his knowledge. There is a view that it bordered on treason and -- again -- makes the 2015 GOP efforts look tame by comparison. The extreme lengths that Kennedy and Nixon went to behind the scenes underlines the point that foreign policy has always been a deeply partisan matter that can often end in a challenge to executive authority. It's true that the spirit of the Constitution indicates that the country is expected to speak with one voice on foreign policy through the President.

+{"article": "(CNN)Although much of the United States has been shivering this winter, there's been another worrying sign of warming temperatures farther north. The cap of sea ice that spreads across the Arctic Ocean in winter appears to have been the smallest on record this year, according to NASA. Not only was this year's maximum extent, reached on February 25, the smallest on the satellite record, it's also one of the earliest. Barring a late spurt of ice growth -- possible but unlikely, according to a NASA news release -- this sets a new precedent. The analysis is based on data from the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Arctic sea ice, frozen seawater floating on top of the Arctic Ocean and its neighboring seas, is in a state of constant flux. It increases its area in winter, usually peaking between late February and early April, and then shrinks in the warmth of spring and summer to reach its lowest extent in September. If this year's maximum extent, totaling 5.61 million square miles, was reached on February 25, it was reached 15 days earlier than the 1981 to 2010 average date of March 12, according to NSIDC. Only once before did the peak come earlier, by just one day in 1996. A peak of 5.61 million square miles is about 50,000 square miles below the previous lowest peak wintertime extent, reached in 2011, according to NSIDC. Scientists have been using satellite data to track changes in Arctic sea ice, a vital habitat for birds and marine mammals such as polar bears, seals and walruses, for over three decades. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Ted Scambos, NSIDC lead scientist, puts the potentially record low maximum sea ice extent this year down to low ice extent in the Pacific and a late drop in ice extent in the Barents Sea. Strong southerly winds in early March also played a role, according to NOAA. Only the Baffin Bay area and the waters around Newfoundland had more ice than normal this winter, it said. Scientists say it doesn't necessarily follow that a low maximum winter extent will mean a record amount of shrinkage in sea ice over the summer, however. While the winter sea ice extent was low in 2006 and 2011, neither of those years saw an unusually low summer minimum, NOAA said. \"The winter maximum gives you a head start, but the minimum is so much more dependent on what happens in the summer that it seems to wash out anything that happens in the winter,\" Walt Meier, a sea ice scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is quoted as saying by NASA. \"If the summer is cool, the melt rate will slow down. And the opposite is true, too: even if you start from a fairly high point, warm summer conditions make ice melt fast. \"This was highlighted by 2012, when we had one of the later maximums on record and extent was near-normal early in the melt season, but", "summary": "Scientists say Arctic sea ice appears to have set a record low maximum extent this winter .

+{"article": "(CNN)The first official visit of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to Washington comes as excitement mounts over the possibility that direct peace negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban are imminent. The visit, which began Sunday, offers the opportunity for discussion and progress on a number of fronts, the coming face-to-face talks with the Taliban almost certainly among them. But while the start of such talks would certainly be a positive development, it would hardly be a sign that peace is about to descend upon a land ravaged by decades of war. The reality is that an agreement with the Taliban that is good for the Afghan government is probably impossible right now. Negotiations to end the Taliban insurgency face a series of significant challenges, and an imperfect deal could harm Afghanistan's nascent unity government, encourage the formation of splinter groups of hardened fighters, boost existing terrorist groups like al Qaeda and ISIS and plunge the country into an era of renewed violence and instability. That said, the United States should remain broadly supportive of these talks by promoting conditions that could make the possibility of success more likely down the road -- history has shown that successful negotiations most often occur when each party has some vulnerability to the other. Militarily, the Taliban is not the Afghan government's equal, but that does not mean the insurgents lack a strong negotiating position. For a start, the international presence in Afghanistan is declining, freeing the Taliban to operate more openly in the rural corners of the country. Meanwhile, Afghan security forces are being killed at rates that are probably not sustainable and civilian casualties are at an all-time high. Most troublingly, the new national unity government has yet to clearly demonstrate its ability to govern. All this means that until the new government shows that the diverse interests within it can coexist, and it articulates a cohesive strategy to counter the Taliban, the insurgents can make a strong case for postponing peace in the hopes of a better situation in the future. A second key to negotiating a path toward peace in Afghanistan is devising a strategy to contain splinter groups. Often in the course of negotiations, those unsatisfied with the peace process flock to new organizations to continue the fight. These can include so-called \"bitter enders,\" hardened fighters who want no part of peace. The emergence of splinter groups is an expected part of any peace negotiation process, but it must be minimized for an agreement to take hold. In the case of Afghanistan, there is no shortage of groups willing to absorb fighters, from outlaw bandit groups to al Qaeda. Recently, as Ghani has highlighted, there have even been stories of fighters declaring allegiance to terrorist group ISIS. It goes without saying that the spread of ISIS's particularly violent form of extremism within Afghanistan would make an already complex and precarious security situation all the more so. Finally, negotiations must happen at a time when a peace agreement can reasonably be enforced -- it is one thing to craft a compromise", "summary": "Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is visiting the United States .

+{"article": "Beijing (CNN)When it came to the environment in China, it was hazy through much of the weekend -- literally and figuratively. As a thick layer of toxic air blanketed Beijing and much of northern China on Friday, censors smothered a wildly popular but controversial documentary on the country's air pollution, removing it from all major video streaming sites. At a standing-room-only press conference Saturday, the newly appointed minister of environmental protection ignored raised hands of foreign journalists eager to ask about the development and made no mention of the documentary that he had praised just a week earlier. Without a hint of irony, he promised to be more transparent and reassured the masses of their right to oversee the government's fight against air pollution. \"Under the Dome\" -- a slickly produced two-hour documentary on journalist Chai Jing's dogged quest to find the causes and solutions to China's severe smog problem -- attracted over 200 million views online in just one week, an unprecedented number even in the world's most populous nation. Supporters and detractors of Chai, a famous former anchor and reporter at state-run national broadcaster CCTV, began a war of words almost immediately after the video's release on February 28. Admirers compared it to \"An Inconvenient Truth,\" the Oscar-winning documentary on former U.S. Vice President Al Gore's effort to raise awareness on the dangers of global warming. Critics, on the other hand, portrayed it as a piece of shoddy investigative journalism filled with bad science and biased conclusions, which blamed the problem largely on the entrenched interests of the state oil industry. Some even called it propaganda for President Xi Jinping, who had declared keeping the sky blue a top policy priority. The new environment minister's initial response to the video -- in the form of a widely reported text message of gratitude to Chai -- reinforced some doubts over Chai's claim of editorial independence for her self-funded project. Many more people, however, perceived it as an encouraging sign of the government's adoption of a more open attitude to a politically sensitive topic, as Xi and other leaders started to publicly acknowledge the severity and urgency of the issue. But such optimism was dashed 24 hours after the documentary's launch, as censors moved to reign in increasingly heated online debates surrounding air pollution and beyond, and removed all mention of the video from homepages of major websites. As the week progressed, leaked state media memos -- widely circulated on social media -- revealed ever-harsher wording from propaganda authorities as they scrambled to limit the continuing impact of the video. Finally, after millions of clicks, \"Under the Dome\" vanished from much of Chinese cyberspace Friday as heavy smog descended on the capital. Also in Beijing were almost 3,000 delegates who had gathered to attend the National People's Congress, China's rubber-stamp parliament that meets in full once a year to approve the ruling Communist Party's legislative proposals. Pollution has remained a hot topic at this year's session, state-run Xinhua news agency reported, adding that Xi vowed to legislators Friday \"to give an iron", "summary": "Film on China's air pollution problem drew praise from environment minister when it came out .

+{"article": "(CNN)When Jeb Bush spoke last week at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, the likely GOP presidential hopeful did better than expected. Of course, that could have been because expectations were so low. You remember \"Bush Derangement Syndrome.\" When George W. Bush was president, it afflicted liberals who thought the chief executive couldn't do anything right. Now that Jeb might run for president in 2016, the condition vexes conservatives who believe that when it comes to choosing the GOP nominee, the former Florida governor is all wrong. During Bush's speech, a few dozen supporters of Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky -- wearing red T-shirts with the words \"Stand With Rand\" -- walked out and later blasted Bush as insufficiently conservative. But what should really count for a lot is that Bush is sufficiently competent. He's the grownup in a roomful of extremists who -- as they compare union members to ISIS (Scott Walker) or vow to abolish the IRS (Ted Cruz) or bash the media (Chris Christie) -- seem most interested in applause lines. Bush is a serious person with a serious shot at the presidency, something that you just can't say about all Republicans who appear to be running. As someone who is bilingual and whose wife hails from Mexico, Bush can hit Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, where it hurts by carving into her Latino support. In his 1998 gubernatorial election, and 2002 re-election, Bush received over 60 percent of the Latino vote. And it's no secret that, for many Latinos who might vote for Bush, the make-or-break issue is immigration. That's because many Latinos see immigration as a way of determining a candidate's character. Latinos will be watching to see if Bush stands up to the pressure from extremists to join the GOP's closed border chorus. They're used to being thrown under the bus by politicians who sacrifice Latinos to gin up support from non-Latinos. And they won't put up with it. So which way is Bush going to go on immigration? For many years, he extolled the contributions of immigrants and expressed dismay that elements of his party are closed-minded and mean-spirited on the issue. He even acknowledged that, to many, the party is seen as \"anti-immigrant.\" Lately, though, Bush has injected more nuance into his views -- and turned them mushy in the process. On the question of whether undocumented youth should have a path to citizenship, for example, Bush at first supported the idea, then he opposed it. And most recently, he has said that he could support such a path if Congress mandates it. On the Arizona immigration law, Bush apparently likes the concept of enlisting local police to be \"the eyes and ears\" of the border patrol. But he has also been sympathetic to critics who worry that this will lead to ethnic profiling of Latinos. Too often, Bush leaves the impression that he'll say whatever he needs to say to avoid conflict.

+{"article": "Rome (CNN)Italy's highest court Friday will consider whether to uphold the 2009 murder conviction of American Amanda Knox, according to Judge Gennaro Marasca. The high court judge will either uphold the murder convictions of Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend, or send the case back for another appeal, or potentially on to a different section of the court. Knox, a 27-year-old Seattle native, and Raffaele Sollecito were convicted of the 2007 killing of Knox's British roommate, Meredith Kercher. Knox and Kercher lived together in Italy at the time of Kercher's death. Sollecito and Knox were acquitted in 2011 on appeal, and then Knox returned to the United States. However, Italy's Supreme Court overturned the acquittals in 2013, and they were convicted last year after a retrial. If a new trial is ordered, Knox and Sollecito will buy a little time before a final decision is reached. But if the court upholds the conviction, the case will be closed for good -- and what happens to Knox next is uncertain. Conventional wisdom dictates that Knox will eventually face an extradition hearing or reach a deal with the Italian Justice Ministry to serve her 28-year sentence, but that could take years. The statute of limitations is double the sentence, meaning the Italians have 57 years to bring her back to the country. Knox, however, would benefit from the United States' extradition treaty with Italy -- under which the United States will not extradite a person who has been acquitted -- and from the U.S. Constitution's protection against double jeopardy. Sollecito, on the other hand, still lives in Italy, and has a lot more to lose than Knox does, at least in the short term. He would be scooped up immediately and hauled off to prison to start a 25-year sentence. All of his options will have been exhausted and he will have no choice but to go to directly to jail. Sollecito earlier said he would be in court on Wednesday to face the judge. \"I've been living this for eight years,\" he told the Italian crime TV program \"Quarto Grado.\" Not appearing in court would be like hiding in the corner during a tsunami -- it will take you away anyway.\" Rudy Guede, from the Ivory Coast, was convicted separately in a fast-track trial and is midway through a 16-year sentence for Kercher's murder. His case was confirmed by Italy's high court in 2010. Many commentators in the U.S. have reasoned that Italy may not ask the United States for Knox's extradition because it would cause a diplomatic rift between the two nations. But there could be a greater rift if it appears that Knox gets away with murder and her Italian ex-boyfriend pays for the crime. If Sollecito is languishing in prison and Knox is sipping Frappuccino in a Seattle Starbucks, Italians will not be pleased, says Alessandro Capponi, an Italian journalist for Corriere Della Sera who has been covering the case since Kercher was killed in 2007. \"It will be seen as an injustice,\" Capponi told CNN. \"You may not see people", "summary": "Italy's highest court to consider verdict in 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher .

Two days later, she gave birth to a girl in a country where they hold no status. Like 70,000 other refugees from Syria, Iraq, Sudan and the Palestinian Territories, Farah (her name and the others in this article have been changed to protect their anonymity) now lives with her family in Zarqa, a poor Jordanian city teeming with factories and crumbling apartment blocks. Men dominate public spaces, and many women stay at home, isolated. Two years ago, Farah was a nurse and her husband a lawyer. Here, he found work tiling construction sites, but was arrested three times for working illegally. \"Now my husband stays at home, depressed and afraid of being sent to the camps,\" Farah said. She is now the family breadwinner, working at a local organization providing educational programs to Syrian and Jordanian children. Every day she navigates the dangers of Zarqa's crime-ridden streets and ignores sexual advances from men. Yet Zarqa is also a pocket of hope. Some 384 female refugees working with the Near East Foundation have been able to re-establish savings, restore dignity, strengthen their capacity to bounce back and rebuild their lives. Many of them choose to become earners for the first time. They belong to a network of Jordanian and refugee women -- coaches, mentors and peers -- who lean on each other and offer business and social support, exchange tips and build friendships. Some 80% of the refugees in this network have chosen to invest in building a small home-based business. Fatiya, who escaped Iraq during the 2003 invasion, was surviving on charity until six months ago. Now she runs her own leather goods home-based business, making belts, wallets and key chains for tourists from the safety of her home. These days, Fatiya is busy rebuilding her life. \"I make my own way,\"she says. Zainab, also an Iraqi refugee, is now a hairdresser in Zarqa. On the side, she teaches the art of hairdressing to young women, walking alongside them in their first steps to become economically independent.

+{"article": "(CNN)The suspect behind the knife attack on the American ambassador to South Korea had a long, troubled history and often blamed the U.S. for tensions in the Korean Peninsula. Kim Ki-Jong, 55, was quickly overpowered and taken into custody after he attacked U.S. Ambassador Mark Lippert with a fruit knife Thursday morning. Police say Kim's motive for the attack was to improve North-South Korean relations and to stop the annual military exercises held jointly by the U.S. and South Korea. It wasn't the first time Kim has taken drastic steps to make his point. -- In 2010, Kim was given a suspended jail sentence for hurling a concrete block at a Japanese envoy to South Korea, according to the Yonhap news agency. That incident is believed to be the first attack on a foreign ambassador in South Korea. -- Kim allegedly harbored sympathies for North Korea, according to Korean media reports. Yonhap reported that Kim had visited North Korea six times between 2006 and 2007, had attempted to erect a memorial for former North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il in Seoul, and once set himself on fire in front of the presidential office. -- He was frequently seen at protests, wearing a beret and blaming U.S. policies for straining relations between North and South Korea. Kim was a member of the Korea Council For Reconciliation and Cooperation, which hosted Lippert at the Thursday event where the attack occurred. The group advocates reunification of the Koreas as well as humanitarian aid to North Korea. Kim was one of its 181 members, but wasn't on the list of those invited for the event, according to police. But he was allowed in because an event staff recognized him from the organization. A witness who was sitting next to Lippert during the attack said Kim was known for having \"unpredictable behavior\" in the organization. Even though he appeared somewhat disheveled Thursday morning, he was able to enter the event because the staff was familiar with Kim, police said. Immediately after he allegedly slashed the ambassador in the face and arm, Kim was tackled to the floor. As he was transferred to a hospital Kim shouted, \"The South Korea-U.S. military drills must stop.\" Every year, the United States and South Korea hold joint military drills, which both countries say are defensive and non-provocative in nature. But the exercises also draw criticism from the North Korean regime, which characterize the drills as rehearsals for an attack on the regime. Kim also told South Korean reporters that he had planned the attack for 10 days, and claimed responsibility for burning a U.S. flag at the embassy in the 1980s. A website associated with Kim, displayed a photo of him with protesters holding a sign that read: \"Stop war exercises that block North-South Korean dialogue.\" The picture was taken at February 24, in front of the U.S. embassy, according to his website.

The boy's body was torn apart by an explosion near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. His skin had changed color. A crowd hovered over him, frantically trying to help, but he was dying. Speaking from the witness stand at Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's trial on Thursday, Richard told jurors he was faced with a heartbreaking choice. \"I knew in my head that I needed to act quickly, or we might not only lose Martin,\" he said. \"We might lose Jane, too.\" Moments after the blast, Richard had stumbled toward Jane, his 7-year-old daughter. His pants and sneakers were torn apart. His legs felt like they were on fire. He could barely hear. And the air smelled \"vile,\" he said, like gunpowder, sulfur and burned hair. But he soon realized the situation was much worse for his daughter. \"She tried to get up and she fell. That was when I noticed her leg,\" he said. \"She didn't have it.

Tsarnaev's attorneys admit that he carried out the 2013 attacks, which killed three people and injured more than 260 others at the marathon. A fourth person, an MIT police officer, was ambushed and killed in his patrol car three days after the bombings as Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, allegedly ran from police. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed after a gunbattle with police. And now, his younger brother sits in court facing 30 federal charges related to the bombings. His attorneys say he was influenced by his slain brother to participate in the attacks. They argued Thursday that now isn't the right time for jurors to hear the string of harrowing stories from survivors of the explosions, arguing that testimony should be part of a later phase of the trial, when jurors will decide what penalty Tsarnaev should face. But the judge sided with prosecutors, who argued the testimony was necessary to support their indictment. On Thursday, jurors relived the moments after the marathon bombings through the eyes of some of the people most affected by the blasts. Defense attorneys didn't ask them any questions.

+{"article": "(CNN)Police raided millionaire heir Robert Durst's home in Houston, Texas, on Tuesday, a day after he was charged with first-degree murder. Dick DeGuerin, Durst's attorney, confirmed that investigators were searching the home. It was not immediately clear what they were looking for inside Durst's 14th-floor condo, where he has lived for many years, CNN affiliate KTRK reported. The raid comes days after FBI agents arrested Durst in a New Orleans hotel. The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed a first-degree murder charge against him on Monday, accusing Durst of shooting and killing his close friend Susan Berman in December 2000. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. \"I think it's ridiculous for them to be making a search 15 years after Susan Berman was killed, and they're searching a place in Houston,\" DeGuerin told CNN. Durst remains jailed in New Orleans, where he's facing drug and weapons charges stemming from his arrest over the weekend. Durst's alleged connections with Berman's death and two others were the focus of HBO's true crime documentary, \"The Jinx.\" DeGuerin has claimed it's no coincidence authorities moved in to arrest Durst just as the documentary's finale was about to air. And on Tuesday, he said he wasn't surprised about the Houston raid either. \"I'm not surprised they're acting like a bunch of keystone cops, particularly after being embarrassed by the TV program,\" he said. \"And I'll be even more surprised if they find anything of any evidentiary value whatsoever.\" 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. She was shot in the head shortly before investigators were coming to speak with her about the disappearance of Durst's first wife in 1982. Durst has long maintained he had nothing to do with Berman's death or his wife's disappearance, though some have questioned whether comments he made at the end of the documentary -- muttering under his breath in the bathroom that he \"killed them all\" -- could be interpreted as a confession. DeGuerin told reporters Monday that his client didn't kill Berman. \"He's ready to end all the rumor and speculation and have a trial,\" DeGuerin said. But it's unclear when a trial could take place. Durst waived his right to fight extradition to Los Angeles, but because prosecutors in New Orleans are pursuing charges against him, he remains jailed there. Durst had a Smith & Wesson .38-caliber revolver on him when he was arrested, according to New Orleans Police Department records. Investigators found marijuana and a \"substantial\" amount of cash in Durst's hotel room, a source familiar with the investigation told CNN. He was booked in New Orleans Monday on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm with a controlled substance. He may be moved soon to a different Louisiana prison where inmates with \"an acute medical condition\" are sent, DeGuerin said.

The other is to stand anxiously on the edge of the curb, toes curled like a diver's, waiting for a non-existent stoplight, then plunge into the melee while letting out a small yelp before slaloming across the street like a demented Frogger. Some, like Steve Mueller, would question why cross the road at all. If you can't beat them, join them. Which is what the South Carolinian did -- he now runs the city's Vietnam Vespa Adventures. It's a tour company that provides two-wheel thrills on the Italian vintage scooters, Vespa, around Ho Chi Minh City, out into the Mekong Delta and beyond. Being on a scooter in Ho Chi Minh is the best way to feel a part of the city, says Mueller. \"It's really an authentic experience,\" he says. \"Being side by side with the locals.\" Day tours take in popular sights like the Opera House and central post office designed by Gustav Eiffel, but also stop at local eateries and offbeat locations. One popular early morning pit stop is Tao Dan park where Ho Chi Minh City's bird fanciers puff themselves up like their caged pets in a display of tweeting one-upmanship. Unfortunately/thankfully, you're not the one driving. All the mopeds are driven by local, experienced drivers who have no problem with the swarm of vehicles on the roads. A local tour guide rides along, too, to add context to the sights, smells and sounds experienced from the back of a two-stroke motor. Mueller took a circuitous route to setting up the company. After traveling around Southeast Asia in 1997 he settled in Vietnam the following year and discovered a glut of classic Italian scooters that needed a bit of TLC. He bought his first one after just three days in the country and spying an opportunity to tap into international Vespa enthusiasts' desire for authentic rides, set up a restoration and export business. It became so successful he was in danger of putting himself out of a job, so in 2006 he decided to start a tour company offering multi-day tours outside of Ho Chi Minh City. According to Mueller, his business was kick-started by Vietnam's appearance on the TV program \"Top Gear,\" which showed the country's beautiful countryside and underused roads. Longer trips are still offered by Vespa Tours, taking willing riders as far as the Vietnam Highlands and the coastal city of Nha Trang over seven days. Most of the scooters in Mueller's garage hark back to the golden age of Vespas, the late '60s and 1970s, refurbished with replacement parts from Piaggio-licensed machinists in India. True to their reputation, the 100 or so classic scooters owned by Vespa Adventures break down frequently -- mechanics are on hand for running repairs -- but Mueller believes", "summary": "American Steve Mueller started a tour company in Ho Chi Minh City offering tours on Vespa .

+{"article": "(CNN)Well, I'll be the first to admit, I got caught off guard on this one. If indeed the assessment of the cockpit voice recording of Germanwings Flight 9525's final moments is an accurate one, it is shocking. It is inconceivable to me that a fellow pilot would use an airplane for his demise and the demise of his passengers. It is my hope that there is more to this uncanny, horrific tragedy than just an extraordinary suicide event. Although a report of normal breathing from the co-pilot in the moments before the crash indicates that he was not incapacitated, how can one really tell? A farfetched idea, but could he have suffered a fit of schizophrenia never diagnosed, or suffered some other mental disorder, perhaps brought on by medication? I know, it's not likely. As an airline pilot, I'm taking this incident personally. Why? A pilot betrayed the public trust. With all the other fears -- terrorism, disappearances of planes, aircraft malfunctions -- how do I reassure my passengers that they should not add medical illness, mental or otherwise, of the pilot to the list? For the moment, I'll have to believe that my customers are intelligent enough to realize that the Germanwings co-pilot is an anomaly. Sure, as with any profession, pilots have isolated cases of stress-related troubles. But we have mechanisms to deal with such problems. One mechanism is very simple: Don't fly. It is incumbent upon us to determine our own fitness for duty. As a matter of fact, on every trip, I have to confirm that status before I electronically sign the flight plan. Whether it's as simple as suffering from the common cold or suffering from the distraction of a nasty divorce, airline pilots can just say \"no\" to flying. As part of the hiring process, we completed a psychological evaluation. With my airline, one part of the evaluation involved a written test that asked obscure questions in different ways. Another part of the test involved pilots listening to an air traffic control recording made during the angst of a thunderstorm event while at the same time completing a battery of math and shape-orientation problems. We were then asked questions specific to the conversations between the air traffic controllers and pilots we'd heard in the recording. The test was a measure of our multitasking abilities and our abilities to deal with stress. In addition, the airline's doctor conducted an individual mental evaluation. Airline pilots in the United States are required by the Federal Aviation Administration to take a medical examination once every six months. The examination is mostly physical, but the doctor is expected to ask some basic mental health questions, most of them about depression or alcohol consumption. In addition to requiring pilots to indicate any prior health issues during the previous six months, the application for the exam also compels us to self-disclose the use of medications, specifically for the treatment of depression. If we have consulted a therapist, that also has to be disclosed. Yes, all bets are off if we deceive the system", "summary": "Les Abend: Fliers should know that Germanwings crash is anomaly; airlines have procedures for vetting pilots' fitness .

+{"article": "(CNN)She is being called Zephany Nurse, though it is not the name with which the 17-year-old South African girl grew up. Zephany means \"hidden by the Lord,\" a fitting name for a girl who was allegedly kidnapped at birth and found thanks to an improbable coincidence. South African Police have been mostly quiet about the case. A police spokesman, Andre Traut, confirmed that a woman was arrested last week and charged with kidnapping and falsely pretending that she was the girl's biological mother. Zephany was a newborn when she was taken from a Cape Town hospital in 1997. She is 17 and in her final year of school. In fact, according to local reports, that's how she crossed paths with her biological parents, Celeste and Morne Nurse. According to the South African Press Association, an independent news agency, students at their second daughter's school unknowingly solved the kidnapping. The second daughter, who was born four years after Zephany was kidnapped, started eighth grade at a Cape Town school this year, according to SAPA. Fellow students told her there was a girl in her final year of school who looked just like her, the news agency reported. The two girls became friends, according to SAPA, and eventually, Morne Nurse made up an excuse to meet his daughter's new friend. He, too, was taken by the similarities and contacted the police, SAPA reported. A DNA test was done, and last week police arrested the 50-year-old woman who had raised Zephany. The woman made an initial appearance before a judge who ruled that she would remain behind bars at least until her next hearing. The shocking revelation has no easy conclusion. While Zephany's biological parents have said in interviews over the years that they never lost hope of finding her, for now, the girl is in the custody of the social services. The Nurses have been allowed to visit Zephany for short periods, South African media reported. And on Tuesday, Zephany herself released a statement, via the Centre for Child Law, which is representing her. \"I want to say thank you to all the people who supported me through this, for continuously praying and never giving up on looking for me,\" she said. \"Under the circumstances, I am doing fine.\"", "summary": "Celeste and Morne Nurse's baby was stolen from the hospital in 1997 . 17 years later, their child has been found ."}
+{"article": "(CNN)Another flight brings another complaint about an airline interfering with a passenger breastfeeding her baby. The mothers who complain about instances of airline employees interfering with their breastfeeding or pumping aren't covering up and going away; they are tweeting out their complaints in 140 characters or less, sometimes in multiple posts, other times taking pictures of longer reports. Kristen Hilderman is the latest mother to say she was hassled while breastfeeding. The Vancouver mother was returning to Canada from a vacation in Costa Rica with her family on Sunday night when, she says, there was a problem on the final leg of her trip. Hilderman was feeding her 5-month-old son on board United Airlines Flight 438 as the aircraft taxied along the runway before taking off from Houston to Vancouver. To describe what happened next, she took a picture of her typed recollections and posted it to Twitter. \"A male flight attendant named Keith walked up to our row and said to my husband (loudly, so that everyone around could here ), 'Are you two together?'\" Hilderman wrote. When her husband said yes, Hilderman said, the flight attendant \"tossed a blanket at him ... and said tersely, 'Then HERE, help her out.' \" When she twice asked what he was supposed to help her out with, she said, the flight attendant ignored her. Passengers on the plane were supportive, she said, and told her they hadn't known she was breastfeeding until the flight attendant singled her out. \"I've been breastfeeding my son in myriad public places since he was born, and never has anyone made me feel so uncomfortable and ashamed for feeding my baby without putting a cover over his head,\" she wrote. United Airlines spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm said that the airline reached out to Hilderman on Monday night via Twitter and that airline officials \"look forward to speaking more with her and to our crew member to understand what happened.\" \"On our general approach to breast feeding, we welcome nursing mothers on board and we ask that crew members do their best to ensure their comfort and safety as they do with all customers,\" Dohm wrote in an email. \"We also ask nursing mothers and passengers seated near them to be mindful of one another's space and comfort.\" Hilderman, who filed a complaint with the airline, said United had not contacted her beyond their tweeted reply but said she has found support from allies on social media. Why are we so squeamish about breastfeeding? Delta passenger Lauren Modeen, who needed her breast pump on a January flight but was forced to check it as luggage, started a Boobs on Board Facebook page that's gained over 1,100 followers in the past month. \"Before social media, the majority of these harassment stories went unheard,\" Modeen wrote in an email. \"As a result, airlines faced little pressure to improve and pave a better way for mothers and children.\" She wants her Facebook page encourage airlines \"to publicly post their explicitly clear pro-breastfeeding/pumping policies inside every airplane so the rules are not left to", "summary": "United says officials \"look forward to speaking more with her and to our crew member\" A woman says a United flight attendant wanted her to cover up while she was breastfeeding .

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama's effort to bridge the trust deficit between African-Americans and law enforcement, the money wars heading into 2016, a little CPAC history and a \"do not reply\" mandate fill our Sunday trip around the \"Inside Politics\" table: . 1. Winning CPAC once meant little, but are Rand Paul's multiple wins just the ticket? Rand Paul won his third consecutive CPAC presidential straw poll this weekend, and most political journalists yawned -- and understandably so. There have been 20 previous CPAC straw polls, and only in four of those cases has the winner ended up as the Republican presidential nominee. And in all four of those cases, it was in the actual election year. Never has a winner in the year before the presidential vote -- like this year -- gone on to win the nomination. So Sen. Paul shouldn't rush to measure the White House drapes. But he is now in special company: He's in a tie for CPAC wins (three) with Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp. Mitt Romney is the all-time leader with four CPAC wins. Ron Paul has two. So winning once is more or less meaningless, but winning twice or more? The Pauls -- Rand and Ron -- are the only two men with at least two CPAC wins who have not appeared on the GOP ticket. (Kemp was Bob Dole's VP nominee.) It's one more way, we can assume, that Rand Paul hopes to get some separation from his dad heading into 2016. 2. POTUS hopes for action -- and legacy item -- in law enforcement arena . Washington will be consumed this week with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress and the continuing fight over funding the Department of Homeland Security. But Nia-Malika Henderson of The Washington Post took us inside another big event: a report from the task force Obama established post-Ferguson to study the tensions between law enforcement and African-Americans. \"The White House has said that they have been surprised by so many areas of commonality between these activists and law enforcement officials who were on this task force,\" said Henderson. \"Other people say the gulf is as wide as you might imagine.\" Henderson adds that the President doesn't want this report to gather dust on the shelf but casts doubts over whether this will be part of Obama's record. \"Whether or not it will be a legacy item, we'll have to see. That will probably depend on legislation, and that seems fairly unlikely.\" 3. The super PAC campaign: Millions are OK, but billions rule . There is always a money race in presidential politics. But the times are changing. Candidates need to raise cash for their actual campaign committees, but that effort is taking a back seat to the bigger money chase. Jonathan Martin of The New York Times shared some reporting on the race to win over big -- as in billionaire -- support for the super PACs that now dominate the world of political finance.

+{"article": "(CNN)Eastern Europe, here comes the cavalry. The U.S. Army says it will soon be sending armored Stryker vehicles on a 1,100-mile convoy through six European countries to show solidarity to allies in the wake of recent Russian actions in the Ukraine and Crimea that have Eastern Europe on edge. The move was first reported Thursday in the military newspaper Stars and Stripes. U.S. Army Europe posted the Stripes story on its website on Friday. The convoy is \"a highly visible demonstration of U.S, commitment to its NATO allies and demonstrating NATO's ability to move military forces freely across allied borders in close cooperation,\" U.S. Army Europe spokesman Lt. Col. Craig Childs, said in a statement, according to the Stripes report. The troops and vehicles involved will be moving from training exercises conducted as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, the report said. They'll move through Latvia and the Czech Republic as they make their way to Vilseck, Germany, about a 40 miles drive from the Czech border. The troops involved are from the 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, which are based at Rose Barracks in Vilseck, and they will be accompanied by the Army's 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, which will provide aerial reconnaissance, the Stripes report said. The move is unusual because long-distance movement of heavy military vehicles such as the 18-ton Strykers is usually done by rail. The trek is being called a \"Dragoon Ride,\" after the unit's nickname, the Dragoons. Troops will camp out along the route. \"For those participating in it, Dragoon Ride is a unique opportunity,\" Stripes quoted Childs as saying. \"Soldiers and their leaders will have numerous opportunities to engage with local communities along the route, deepen their appreciation for the cultural diversity within the alliance and enhance the relationships that are essential to building and maintaining mutual admiration, respect and trust among allied militaries.\" The convoy will be the latest in a series of displays the U.S. and its NATO allies have taken under Operation Atlantic Resolve, during which the U.S. \"is demonstrating its continued commitment to collective security through a series of actions designed to reassure NATO allies and partners of America's dedication to enduring peace and stability in the region, in light of the Russian intervention in Ukraine,\" according to the Defense Department's website. The displays have come as close to 300 yards from the Russian border as U.S. Army Strykers participated in an independence day celebration in Nava, Estonia, last month. Other recent actions include the Air Force's movement of 12 A-10 Thunderbolt \"tankbuster\" attack jets to an air base in Germany and this month the placing of hundreds of tanks and military vehicles in Latvia, where they'll soon be matched up with 3,000 troops from Fort Stewart, Georgia.

Mass urbanization is proving to be \"the single most important transformation\" the world is seeing in the 21st century, according to Jamal Saghir, director of sustainable development at the World Bank, and it shows no signs of letting up. By 2050, the U.N. predicts 66% of us will call a city our home.

With burgeoning higher education systems and enviably young workforces, African cities in particular are booming. Commended for their diversity, adaptability and enterprise, investors are taking note. Global auditing firm PwC has now quantified and ranked Africa's urban hubs in a new report listing the continent's top \"Cities of Opportunity.\" With the caveat that only one city per country could be assessed, PwC set out ranking locations in terms of infrastructure, human capital, economics and society and demographics. North African cities dominated the top five, with Cairo claiming pole position, followed by Tunis, Johannesburg, Casablanca and Algiers. Analysts cited the age of North African cities as a determining factor, with strong infrastructure across the board, incubating an environment for human capital to thrive. However, sub-Saharan cities registered among the highest in terms of society and demographics, excelling in diversity and population growth, both useful when looking towards future investment. Indeed, the report also offered an alternative ranking, gauging the strongest trajectories in terms of investment. GDP growth, ease of doing business, attracting FDI, middle class and overall population growth all took precedent. Under these criteria, Cairo could only achieve a mid-table ranking and was the only city in the top 10 north of the Sahara. Dar es Salaam, Lusaka, Nairobi, Lagos and Accra made up the top five, suggesting a new generation of African powerhouse economies is waiting in the wings.

One woman at the mobile home park told KJRH that she was cooking when the storm hit. \"Within 5 minutes it was dark and the sirens were going off and you couldn't hear yourself think,\" Brandy Richards said. \"And you just grab the kids and we ran across the street.

+{"article": "(CNN)He doesn't wear a uniform or hold an official rank, but Hadi Al-Amari is a powerful military leader in Iraq. He leads the Hashd Al-Shaabi, a predominantly Shia paramilitary force doing much of the fighting in the critical battle to take Tikrit from ISIS extremists. Ousting ISIS from Tikrit is important for dozens of countries in the United States-led coalition trying to thwart the Islamist extremist group's quest to grow its caliphate. Iran isn't a part of this coalition, but it is also working to defeat ISIS -- something that's provoked both relief and alarm in Washington. Al-Amari is confident his men, with help from the Iraqi army and some Sunnis, can crush ISIS in Iraq without this coalition's help. He's sure because the Iranians are advising them. \"We don't need it, and we won't need it,\" he said. \"Anyone who puts their faith in the international coalition to liberate Iraq is putting their faith on a mirage.\" Iran knows what it's doing, in his view. \"Yes, we declare to the world, we have Iranian advisers, and we're proud of them, and we thank them deeply for participating with us because Iran has more experience than anyone else on Earth in fighting terrorism.\" Does it matter that Iran is advising militias fighting ISIS? Does it matter which countries are taking part in the fight against ISIS -- including that one of them, Iran, is a longstanding U.S. foe? When asked questions along those lines Wednesday in Washington, it seemed that even top U.S. military officials didn't have easy answers. The view is that defeating ISIS is good, while relying on and possibly strengthening Iran is not. In other words, Iran's involvement in Iraq is a mixed blessing. To make sense of this all, one needs to understand not only the international landscape and Iraqi politics, but Islam itself. The religion's two major sects are Sunni and Shia. In Iraq, Sunni Arabs comprise 15% to 20% of Iraq's population, with about half of them in urban areas like Baghdad, Mosul and Tikrit, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. About 18% of Iraq's population is Sunni Kurds. That means the vast majority of Iraqis are Shiite Muslims. And it matters. During his decades-long rule, Saddam Hussein -- a Sunni whose hometown is Tikrit -- gave positions of power to Sunnis, and marginalized Shiites, experts say. Many Shiite families fled to Iran and the country gave them housing and jobs and schooled their children. That imbued Iraqi Shiites who have returned home with a fierce allegiance to Iran. Shias have led Iraq since Hussein's ouster, often alienating Sunnis in the process. This has fueled major sectarian rifts that peaked when Nuri al-Maliki was prime minister, leading to not only millions of disaffected citizens but a weaker central government and military that ISIS frequently overran in 2013 and 2014. Haider al-Abadi took over as Prime Minister last year in part to address these deep divisions.

Some Putin opponents claim it isn't a coincidence that critics of the powerful leader and his government have been killed or landed behind bars. But the Kremlin has staunchly denied accusations that it's targeting political opponents or had anything to do with the deaths. Here's a look at some cases of outspoken critics of Putin's government who've ended up in exile, under house arrest, behind bars or dead. The business magnate backed an opposition party and accused Putin of corruption. He spent more than 10 years behind bars on charges of tax evasion and fraud. In statements to CNN, Khodorkovsky said his prosecution was part of a Kremlin campaign to destroy him and take control of Yukos, the oil company he built from privatization deals in the 1990s. The Kremlin denied the accusation. At the time of Khodorkovsky's sentencing, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that \"allegations about some kind of selective prosecution in Russia are groundless. Russian courts deal with thousands of cases where entrepreneurs are prosecuted.\" Due for release in August 2014, he was released nearly a year earlier, in December 2013, after Putin signed an amnesty decree pardoning him. His release, along with the pardoning of dissident Russian punk band Pussy Riot and a group of Greenpeace protesters, was widely seen as an attempt to improve the country's image before the Winter Olympics in Sochi last February. Khodorkovsky is now living in Switzerland. He told CNN's Christiane Amanpour last month that he wants to see regime change in his country. \"I think that my country doesn't deserve a new era of authoritarianism,\" he said. \"But at the same time, I don't want a revolution.\" She was a vocal critic of Russia's war in Chechnya. Her home was a safe place, until it became the scene of her murder. She was shot four times at the entrance of her Moscow apartment in October 2006. Last year, a Moscow court sentenced five men to prison for the killing. Authorities alleged that an unidentified man asked Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, whom the jury found was a mastermind of the slaying, to kill Politkovskaya in exchange for $150,000 because of her reports of human rights violations and other issues, the Moscow city court said. The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said her work chronicling human rights abuses in Chechnya led to threats against her and angered Russian authorities. Shortly after her death, Putin denied any Kremlin involvement in her killing, saying that Politkovskaya's \"death in itself is more damaging to the current authorities both in Russia and the Chechen Republic ... than her activities.\" The former Russian agent was poisoned by a lethal dose of radioactive polonium, his tea spiked in a London hotel during a meeting with two former Russian security servicemen.

The 53-year-old Stratofortress, tail number 61-1007, nicknamed the \"Ghost Rider\" had been in storage at the desert in the care of the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) since 2008. Thousands of aircraft are stored at the Boneyard, where the dry desert environment helps preserve them. Some are scavenged to supply parts to planes still in the fleet. Others are brought back into service. Ghost Rider, after upgrades, will become the first B-52 to return to duty from the Boneyard. Though the dry desert air inhibits corrosion, the baking heat can have other adverse effects, including causing dry rot in the tires and fuel lines. The lines and fuel bladders in Ghost Rider were completely replaced, Tech. Sgt. Stephen Sorge, a fuels specialist from the 307th Maintenance Squadron, said in an Air Force report on the project. Once that work was done, the plane's engines were tested again in January. On February 13, Ghost Rider flew again, a three-hour flight from Davis-Monthan to its new home, Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport, Louisiana. The resurrection process took 70 days, according to the Air Force report . \"I've been flying the B-52s since the '80s and it surprised me that after almost seven years ... she cranked up just fine and we had no issues with the flight control systems,\" Col. Keith Schultz said in the Air Force report after piloting the eight-engine jet on the 1,000-mile flight. Schultz, who with more than 6,500 hours flying B-52s is the most experienced active pilot of that aircraft in the service, led a co-pilot and a navigator, the minimum three-person crew, on the flight to Louisiana. The B-52 would normally fly with a crew of five. \"Those were the only three seats we had activated for egress,\" he told the Shreveport Times. For safety reasons, Ghost Rider made the entire flight with its landing gear down, at a speed of only 288 mph and at a height of 23,000 feet, well below its top speed of 650 mph and ceiling of 50,000 feet, according to the Times report. It also flew without some of the other things aviators have come to rely on. \"We were fortunate to have had good weather the entire trip as the inertial and navigational equipment had not been installed,\" Schulz said in the Air Force release. Ghost Rider will replace another bomber at Barksdale that was damaged by a fire during maintenance. \"We had an oxygen leak with a spark and it caused a cockpit fire. There was so much damage it was actually more economical to bring this one out of the desert,\" Schultz told the Times. For a time, Ghost Rider will sit beside the damaged B-52 for transfer of usable, updated equipment, the Times reported. It is expected to resume active service", "summary": "U.S. Air Force resurrects B-52 Stratofortress for return to service .

But after the Russian opposition figure was gunned down Friday night, Sunday's rally in Moscow took on a different theme. Instead of gathering to criticize Russia's policies on Ukraine, thousands of people came together to mourn the death of the former deputy prime minister. And as they united near the site of Nemtsov's death, conspiracy theories swirled over who killed the staunch critic of President Vladimir Putin as he walked near the Kremlin with his Ukrainian model companion. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko added fuel to the conspiracists' fire by saying Saturday that Nemtsov was about to reveal information that would be damaging to Russian interests, according to Ukrinform, the state-run news agency. \"A few weeks ago I had a conversation with him on how to build relations between Ukraine and Russia, as we would like them to be. Boris said that he was going to make public the strong evidence for participation of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. Someone was very afraid of that. Boris was not afraid, the executioners were afraid. They killed him,\" Ukrinform quoted Poroshenko as saying.

Instead of going to classes, she travelled to Syria; last February she married a jihadi fighter, and since then she has become a notorious poster girl for ISIS.

For over a decade mosque leaders have been asked to eradicate extremism but they are no more than glorified gatekeepers whose lives bear little relevance to those of most modern day Muslims. The need to tackle radical preachers has crushed political debate and created a dangerous vacuum which is now being filled outside of mosques. Every new atrocity is invariably followed by useless public statements of sorrow from so-called \"Muslim leaders,\" further increasing the anger felt by the younger community -- successfully drawing young Muslims away from the path of violence takes more than routine declarations that \"Islam is a religion of peace.\" It is easy enough to dismiss the words of wannabe radical jihadists as little more than the posturing of nihilistic adolescents, but the steady stream of recruits to ISIS cannot be ignored. Several years ago al Qaeda recruitment propaganda included videos of men with long beards ranting in Arabic in front of a black flag, followed by grainy footage of a truck blowing up as it drove towards Americans. It wasn't particularly effective as a recruitment tool, but then they only needed a handful of recruits to change our society for ever.

Email your story ideas and tips to CNNtips@cnn.com. Patrick Gannon, police chief of Los Angeles International Airport, said the 54,000 employees with security badges undergo recurring criminal background checks and random screening. But even that may not be enough. \"I agree that in any airport throughout the United States and here also, there is never a 100% guarantee that somebody who wanted to do something illegal or wrong couldn't make that happen,\" Gannon said. Only two major airports in the United States -- Miami and Orlando -- conduct full employee screening by requiring all employees with access to secure areas to pass through a metal detector, a CNN investigation found. Other airports like Los Angeles conduct random screenings. Many airports don't do any screenings at all other than a criminal background check before employees are hired. The crackdown on employee screening comes after the arrest of a Delta baggage handler and passenger accused of gun smuggling at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in December. Both Atlanta and Los Angeles have since begun restricting access by closing access doors that lead to the airfield. Nevertheless, Gannon acknowledged that the potential of a lone wolf committing a crime at the airport worries him. \"It concerns me all the time,\" he said. With so many employees, \"[T]here is no way that you are going to have the ability to screen every single person that comes to work in the airport.\" At LAX, employees punch in a code and swipe their badge to access the airfield. Gannon said about 18 out of approximately 300 access doors have been closed as the airport evaluates employee screening procedures. He said, \"the more you limit the access doors, the more you can focus things like spot checks and screenings and cameras.\" Even at Miami International Airport, Gannon said, \"they still can't 100% say that they can keep contraband or any type of item out of their restricted area.\" Lauren Stover, Miami airport security director, agreed that ID badges alone \"are not enough [to] stop malicious intent.\" \"You can vet employees for basic information on their backgrounds, but it's not going to prevent them from carrying out some kind of malicious activity against an airport. And airports need to know their threats. For us, we have threats from criminal activity to being targets of a terrorism attack,\" Stover said. In the wake of congressional scrutiny of airport employee screening procedures, private security guards at Atlanta's airport last month began checking employee bags as the first step toward moving toward full employee screening. The airport also plans to reduce the number of secure access doors from 70 to 10. \"In the last six months ... people are being recruited to engage in terrorist acts,\" said Miguel Southwell, the airport's general manager. \"People are being recruited from the United States.

It will be months, or longer, before the causes behind Tuesday's crash of Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 are known, but there are initial clues that aviation experts say will be the most important to investigators. Speculation comes in the wake of any tragedy such as this, but experts say certain facts can be significant for those who want to know what happened. The most useful clues so far: . One of the plane's \"black boxes\" has been recovered, the French interior minister said. The data recorder will be the most useful in determining the cause of the crash. Its contents are still unknown, but it is a good sign that it was found just hours after the crash. France's aviation accident investigation bureau will examine the device immediately, the interior minister said. Real-time flight data available to the public tells a key part of the story. According to online flight trackers, the Germanwings plane had been flying at 38,000 feet when, about 30 minutes into the trip, it started descending. Six minutes later, it was recorded at 24,000 feet -- a drop of 14,000 feet. It continued to descend after that -- it's last recorded altitude was 11,400 feet. The rate of descent indicates that the pilot was still controlling the plane to some extent, CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo said. If the engines had stalled, the plane would have crashed in less time, she said. Departure: Barcelona, Spain, at 10:01 a.m. (26 minutes late) Destination: Scheduled to land in Dusseldorf, Germany, at 11:39 a.m. Passengers: 150 (144 passengers, six crew members) Airplane: Airbus A320 (twin-jet) Airline: Germanwings (budget airline owned by Lufthansa) Flight distance: 726 miles . Last known tracking data: 10:38 a.m. Last known speed: 480 mph . Last known altitude: 11,400 feet . Last known location: Near Digne-les-Bains, France, in the Alps . Sources: CNN and flightaware.com . The initial data about the plane's descent means that the pilot could have been trying to make an emergency landing, or that the plane was gliding with the pilot's guidance, Schiavo said. A scenario where the plane was gliding is potentially more dangerous because wide fields for landing would be hard to come by in the mountains, she said. Another aviation analyst, David Soucie, said the quickness of the descent shows something went wrong, but also that the plane was not out of control. The plane was descending \"faster than an elevator at that point. You're feeling it down. It's pulling you down, and you can sense that,\" Soucie said. A telling piece of data is that the plane maintained speed as it descended, he said. It could show that the pilot was aware that something was wrong and was controlling the speed as the plane went down. \"It was a controlled descent, and there was something that had gone wrong that he had no control over or he would have controlled it,\" Soucie said. The data on air traffic accidents are clear: A majority of accidents happen upon takeoff or landing.", "summary": "CNN aviation analyst says this is not a typical emergency incident, but all possibilities are part of probe .

+{"article": "New York (CNN)Kayla Mueller, Peter Kassig, Alan Henning, David Haines -- just a few of the aid workers who have been abducted and killed by ISIS in the past year. The exact number of aid workers currently being held is unknown; a level of secrecy tends to surround details of those currently captive. What we do know is ISIS holds at least one female aid worker, and possibly more. The International Federation of the Red Cross confirmed three aid workers who disappeared in October 2013 remain missing, but would not comment on their identities or who kidnapped them. Abductions and killings of aid workers are, unfortunately, nothing new, but the numbers are. According to Aidworkersecurity.org, at least 155 aid workers were killed in 2013, a 121% increase on 70 recorded killings the year before. Not all were victims of ISIS, a relatively new phenomenon given life by the chaos in embattled Syria. In fact, according to the same report, it is the Taliban who have historically kidnapped in the greatest numbers, in large part in Afghanistan. Here's the difference: ISIS is changing the game. The Taliban may have many reasons for abductions (flexing their muscles, negotiating prisoner releases), but they also have a record of frequent hostage release. The need for aid in a specific region and the level of the acceptance by the community matters, or mattered. For ISIS, it appears to matter less. Abducted aid workers are usually either a source of considerable income (ISIS demanded at least $6 million for Kayla Mueller, and reportedly $200 million for two Japanese hostages) or, failing that, their killings provide a lurid display of brutality for the world to witness. So far the number of hostages of all backgrounds freed by ISIS is extremely low, save for those whose ransoms were paid. The freeing of 19 kidnapped Assyrian Christians shocked many, because release is not a common part of ISIS' playbook. These tactics can serve as models to other extremist groups worldwide, who may look to emulate ISIS' model of abduction and violence. One example is West African extremist group Boko Haram, which released a video purportedly showing the beheading of two men claimed to be spies, an approach disturbingly similar to ISIS'. \"Humanitarian work has always been risky, but it's never been more dangerous than it is now,\" says Caryl Stern, president and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. \"There used to be a time when an organization's flag provided a great deal of protection. That's no longer the case.\" The response in large part from aid agencies has not been to pull out of Syria and its environs altogether, but to rely almost exclusively on local staffers. Still, outside workers like Mueller, Kassig, Henning and Haines were inside Syria when they were taken, and the regional directors of aid agencies continue to travel there frequently in order to oversee operations. Not only that, but simply by virtue of working for a large aid agency, local staffers become bait. Indeed, the majority of victims have been working in their own countries.", "summary": "Numerous aid workers remain in Syria despite dangers .

+{"article": "(CNN)After enduring about four days at sea under stressful conditions, Tyke, an African elephant, escaped during a circus performance, crushing her trainer to death and injuring dozens of others while storming through the streets of Honolulu. Tyke suffered a slow and painful death after being hit by a barrage of bullets fired by police officers. That incident happened 20 years ago, but the welcome announcement last week by Feld Entertainment -- parent company to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus -- that it plans to retire elephants from its circuses by 2018 is a reminder of how that controversy lingers. In analyzing the horrific experience involving Tyke, it was reported that the elephant had been rebellious before she arrived on our shores, and she is said to have had a history of acting out and being unpredictable. And though she was not submissive and was difficult to train, her owners sent her to Honolulu anyway. Sadly, performing animals in circuses and traveling shows are too often subjected to inhumane conditions, especially in their training. Reward-based training takes time and patience, which are things that many circus trainers do not have. Instead, these trainers frequently resort to other inhumane means, involving beating the animals, using electrical prods, depriving them of food, chaining them and other brutal methods to force the animals into submission. Following this sort of brutal training, the animals may appear tame, but they are still wild and their original wild instincts will appear if provoked. Meanwhile, animals that are no longer useful to the circus or traveling shows due to age or temperament may be given away or sold to other less reputable organizations. They lack proper veterinary care, and what little quality of life they did have is diminished further. The welfare of the animal is not taken into account. Rather than being treated as a commodity by the owner, animals should be protected and well cared for. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey has said it prides itself on providing a healthy environment for animals. Yet whatever provisions they may make, the reality is that circuses are particularly unsuited to meet the unique needs of elephants. These extremely intelligent animals live in large family groups when in the wild, and they form close social ties with other elephants. But the circus environment keeps them isolated and provides little to no interaction with their own species. Their herd-like behavior is ignored when they are being trained to perform. These very social animals, simply put, should not be living in solitary confinement. Animal welfare advocates have often been criticized as being against \"fun.\" We are told that circuses and traveling shows are about education. But what could one possibly learn about animals from watching these shows? Observing wild animals perform unnatural tricks while dancing in tutus only teaches the public that the sole purpose of animals is our entertainment. Are these really the values we want our children to learn? Wildlife sanctuaries and accredited zoos should exist for conservation, preservation and propagation of species and for public education.

It turns out a lot more than most of the rest of us. Gross, 65, has started to make up for the five years he spent imprisoned in Cuba by traveling abroad, attending the State of the Union address as a guest of the Obamas and last week meeting Pope Francis at the Vatican to personally thank him for his role in helping to win Gross' freedom. After five years of being disconnected from the outside world, Gross now frequently posts on social media, writing of family reunions, eating the foods he longed for in prison and the reminders he experiences of his time in Cuba. \"I can't get away from Cuba,\" Gross wrote after hearing a Cuban song playing in an airport on his travels. While visiting Israel, he posted a photo of Cohiba cigars advertised for sale in a Tel Aviv tobacco shop. In 2009, Gross was arrested by Cuban state security agents and eventually sentenced to 15 years in prison for importing banned communications equipment to the island. Gross said he was merely helping the island's small Jewish community get online, but Cuban officials accused of him being part of a U.S. government plot to destabilize the island's single-party Communist government. Cuba has highly restricted Internet access, and most people are not able to access the Web in their homes or on their phones. On December 17, 2014, Gross was freed, along with three Cuban intelligence agents and a Cuban man convicted of spying for the United States. It was part of a deal between the Cuban and U.S. governments to reestablish diplomatic relations after five decades of Cold War animosity. Gross, his wife, Judy, his attorney and three U.S. congressmen flew from Havana to his home state of Maryland aboard a U.S. military jet, one of the smaller versions of Air Force One used to transport President Barack Obama. The image of Gross celebrating his freedom aboard the flight home with CNN reporting the news of his release on a TV screen in the background became the picture he would use on his @AlanPGross Twitter page.

The philanthropist posted images on Twitter that appeared to show the Musashi, once one of the two largest warships in the world. The discovery was made aboard his superyacht, the MY Octopus, as part of an expedition that Allen launched. The search has taken Allen and his team of researchers more than eight years. The images and video were taken by an unmanned submersible deployed from the vessel. \"Since my youth, I have been fascinated with World War II history, inspired by my father's service in the U.S. Army,\" Allen said in a statement. \"The Musashi is truly an engineering marvel and, as an engineer at heart, I have a deep appreciation for the technology and effort that went into its construction. I am honored to play a part in finding this key vessel in naval history and honoring the memory of the incredible bravery of the men who served aboard her.\" He used his Twitter account to publicize the find. In one tweet, he said one image showed the bow of the ship, which features a distinctive chrysanthemum -- the flower is the emblem of Japan's royal family -- and a huge anchor. The other underwater photograph shows one of the Musashi's valves on which the Japanese characters for \"main valve handle\" and \"open\" are legible. He said the writing on the valve was proof that the ship was of Japanese origin. The director of Japan's Kure Maritime Museum told CNN after viewing the information posted by Allen that it appeared that the vessel was the Musashi, although further pictures were needed to know for sure. The Musashi was one of two Yamato-class battleships constructed by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Launched in 1940, it was, at the time, the largest class of warship ever constructed, displacing more than 69,000 tons. The Musashi sank on October 24, 1944, during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea, part of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, in the central Philippines. According to U.S. Navy documents, torpedo planes from U.S. aircraft carriers scored at least 10 hits on the battleship over the course of four hours. Navy dive bombers also hit the ship 16 times, but it was the torpedo hits that doomed the Musashi. \"She went down by the bow, capsizing when the forward flying (U.S. forecastle) deck was submerged,\" said the Navy report, based on survivor accounts. Two of those survivors, the executive officer and the chief engineer, told how they escaped the sinking. \"The executive officer swam off from one of the upper levels in the tower. He saw the propellers as Musashi disappeared,\" the Navy report said. \"The chief engineer climbed over the side amidships as Musashi lurched to port.

On Wednesday, images began circulating from the city of Raqqa in Syria of a man being thrown off a building, allegedly after a conviction for a homosexual act. The scene is sickening and horrifying. And it's meant to be, because ISIS is not only killing individuals it accuses of homosexuality -- it is trying to spread terror among people who do not conform to traditional ideas about what women and men should look like, do, or say. This latest execution is the eighth that ISIS has claimed it carried out for sodomy. In addition, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has reported the murders of four more men, also accused of sodomy, who were killed in similar style by ISIS in Syria. ISIS is allegedly also responsible for stoning at least three women in Syria accused of adultery. It's clear that these chilling spectacles are staged with the intent to terrorize. Some of the men were photographed either being thrown from the tops of tall buildings or stoned or shot to death (and in some cases both). In its social media postings about the executions, ISIS shows victims being brought to a city center, with militants purporting to read from a self-styled \"court\" ruling before conducting the execution in front of a crowd. A final picture usually depicts a lifeless body. The militia's propaganda machine gathers local communities and posts images on social media with a clear intention: to warn against any kind of transgression and spread terror. The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC), of course, condemns these acts. But it is also important to note that we have very little information on the executions themselves.

We know nothing about the victims' sexual orientation or gender identity. Without evidence or independent confirmation, we must therefore be cautious about assuming anything about the individuals involved.

Melgen and his family have been generous donors to the senator and various committees the senator is associated with. RELATED: FBI agents search office of Florida doctor known as Senator's donor . Investigators have focused in part on plane trips Menendez took in 2010 to the Dominican Republic as a guest of Melgen. In 2013, after word of the federal investigation became public, Menendez paid back Melgen $58,000 for the 2010 plane trips calling his failure to properly disclose the flights an \"oversight.\" Menendez said he has been friends with Melgen for more than 20 years and the two families have spent holidays and other special occasions together. One of the highest ranking Hispanic members of Congress, Menendez is a former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has become one of the Obama administration's most vocal Democratic opponents on two key foreign policy matters -- President Obama's decision to ease the trade embargo against Cuba and also his effort to engage direct negotiations with Iran over that country's nuclear program. Menendez advocated on Melgen's behalf with federal Medicare administrators who accused Melgen of overbilling the government's healthcare program, according to court documents and people briefed on the probe. Melgen was among the top recipients of Medicare reimbursements in recent years, during a time when he was also a major Democratic donor. Melgen's attorneys have denied any wrongdoing. Prosecutors also are focusing on whether Menendez broke the law in advocating for Melgen's business interest in a Dominican Republic government contract for a port screening equipment. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, at the time, considered donating port screening equipment to the Dominican Republic, which would have hurt the contract of Melgen-controlled company.

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton is pressing the reset button -- yet again. She's quietly fighting back a week after her awkward and occasionally combative news conference on the furor over the private email server she used while running the State Department. Clinton's Twitter account is buzzing this week with posts that test political messages on health care, college affordability, civil rights and jobs -- issues she hopes will help mobilize President Barack Obama's Democratic coalition and pave her way to the presidency. Meanwhile, her nascent operation is leaking details of future staffers in an unmistakeable message to Democrats spooked by the email flap that the campaign-in-waiting will become an official effort, possibly as soon as next month. A CNN/ORC International Poll out on Wednesday found that she's miles ahead of any potential Democratic challenger and would beat all potential Republican candidates by at least 10 points. Despite fretting among some Democrats who worried that the party's best -- and perhaps only -- viable Democratic candidate appeared to be in trouble, early signs suggest Clinton is doing what the Clintons do best: mounting a comeback. \"The interest in the story is collapsing onto itself. I don't see an organic clamoring for more information,\" said a longtime Clinton ally who didn't want to speak for a campaign that hasn't yet been announced. This person, who has spent time in Iowa, argued that outside the community of political reporters and consultants in Washington and New York who fixated on the story, the people who really count -- voters -- weren't really interested. \"People very much want to know what the campaign is going to be about ... what is she going to do about student loan costs, for example?\" Tharon Johnson, a Democratic strategist who was Southern regional director of Obama's re-election campaign in 2012, agreed. \"If and when Hillary Clinton decides to run, she will have to address this issue, but I believe the American people are more interested in her addressing the kitchen table issues that matter most to them,\" he said. Of course, Clinton still faces plenty of challenges and the email saga raised questions about whether she can run a more sophisticated, no drama campaign than the one she managed in 2008. But the CNN poll revealed that those critical of Clinton's role in the email affair appear to break close to party lines and her favorable rating remains at 53%. A slow recent decline in that rating appears to coincide with Clinton's slow re-entry into partisan politics and does not necessarily reflect her recent stumbles. Perhaps the most intriguing figure in the poll is that only 1% of respondents had never heard of Clinton. That supports the idea expressed by some Democrats that Clinton may be the most vetted figure in public life. There are people who will never vote for her and those who are dedicated to her quest to be the first female president, but very few whose minds may not be made up.

+{"article": "(CNN)In Washington's polarized political environment, support for Israel has been a rare area of bipartisan cooperation -- at least until now. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress on Tuesday threatens to undermine the nearly 67-year tradition of bipartisan support that has endured since President Harry Truman became the first head of state to recognize Israel. Netanyahu is driven not only by his concerns about Iran's nuclear threat -- the topic of his address -- but also by domestic political considerations. Israel will hold its national elections just two weeks after his visit to Washington. Netanyahu is fighting for his political life as he faces a tougher than expected re-election campaign. He has been widely blamed at home for having failed to lower the high cost of living, an issue that his rivals have eagerly exploited. Netanyahu has tried to offset some of this criticism by focusing on his perennial issue: Iran. A major televised address in Washington concerning Iran's threat, interrupted only by standing ovations from American lawmakers, has the potential to be far more effective than any campaign ad in projecting gravitas, reinforcing his security credentials and reminding voters of his vast experience -- in contrast to his rivals' inexperience -- in foreign affairs. Yet Netanyahu's speech, while possibly giving him a short-term boost at home, will harm Jerusalem's relations with Washington, not Iran's nuclear program. Speaker John Boehner's late-January invitation to Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress was coordinated with neither the White House nor the State Department. It was, in essence, a political ploy aimed at undermining President Obama as he strives to reach a historic deal over Iran's nuclear program. In defiance of the Obama administration, and rejecting advice from leading figures in Israel and key supporters of Israel in the United States, Netanyahu accepted the invitation. By antagonizing the White House, Boehner and Netanyahu have put Democratic members of Congress in a bind, forcing them to choose between two unenviable options: either attend the speech out of respect for a close ally, but in so doing flout the president -- their party leader -- or demonstrate loyalty to Obama by snubbing the leader of a major U.S. ally. Two senior Senate Democrats with sterling pro-Israel credentials, Richard Durbin and Dianne Feinstein, tried to diffuse this latest crisis between Washington and Jerusalem by offering to meet with the Israeli premier behind closed doors but were rebuffed by Netanyahu. Feinstein had previously noted that an invitation to address Congress during the Israeli election period was \"highly inappropriate.\" In politicizing his visit to Washington, Netanyahu has allowed his bad blood with Obama to spill over into his government's increasingly complicated relationship with the Democratic Party. Netanyahu no doubt believes that Obama is misguided about the pending deal with Iran. Indeed, there are good reasons to be skeptical of any agreement with a regime that has long engaged in deception and concealment with respect to its nuclear program.

It could be an image from the hit television series \"Mad Men,\" which documented the ribald world of advertising in 1960s America. Except this is 2015 and \"Who squeezes them in Harelbeke?\" is the poster strapline for the elite E3 Harelbeke competition in Belgium, accompanied by that gloved cyclist's hand poised to pinch a woman's bottom. Unlike the wind provocatively lifting up her skirt, the controversial advertisement wasn't dreamed up out of thin air. It's inspired by previous winner Slovak Peter Sagan, who pinched a podium girl's behind at the 2013 Tour de Flanders -- something he later apologized for, saying \"I promise to act more respectfully in the future.\" A week earlier, he was also pictured on the E3 Harelbeke podium, making an ass-grabbing motion towards another flower girl. E3 Harelbeke's organizers chose to celebrate his antics in their 2015 campaign, sparking a global debate about sexism in cycling that has raced far beyond the billboard. \"Old Boy's Club\" \"A guy grabbing a woman's ass is very much indicative of a level of sexual assault,\" said Kathryn Bertine, former professional cyclist and director of \"Half the Road,\" a documentary about female racers. \"This poster makes cycling look very outdated. They're relying on a 'good old boys club' tactic to help them sell a product -- and in this case that product is racing.\" Judging by E3 Harelebeke's provocative standards, the poster could even appear tame compared to previous years. In 2011 organizers opted for a naked woman lying in a field, while the silhouettes of miniature riders traversed her bare backside. More baffling was last year's poster featuring a woman straddling three other females curled into the shape of a bike. \"Such provocative imagery may have been seen by some in the 1950s and 1960s as a basis for selling products, but marketing communications are a rather more sophisticated and progressive activity than they were 50 years ago,\" said Simon Chadwick, Professor of Sport Business Strategy and Marketing at Coventry University. \"I think E3 Harelbeke are rather out of kilter with the way that most people think today.\" \"A playful nod\" Cycling's world governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has since requested the poster be removed, to which the E3 Harelbeke organisers have agreed -- not that they necessarily see it as offensive themselves. \"Personally, no I don't think it's sexist,\" Marc Claerhout, E3 Harelebeke manager, told CNN. Could he see why others might find it offensive? \"I don't know. You have a lot of publicity where you see more than some underwear,\" he said. \"And we didn't mean it as sexist.\" The organization has since withdrawn the poster, releasing an official apology to \"anyone who might find it intimidating, discriminatory or sexist.\" \"The organization launched this campaign as a playful nod to the stage incident two years ago in which a rider got ready to squeeze the buttocks of a flower girl,\" it added.

+{"article": "(CNN)A nuclear deal with international powers on Iran's nuclear program is within reach and achievable, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told reporters Saturday. Rouhani said negotiators from both sides have found new common ground in recent days, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The President believes that \"clinching a general deal is easy,\" according to the IRNA story, but hammering out agreements on certain details \"will be a very tough and complicated job.\" Iran has been largely isolated for years for its nuclear program, one that its leaders say the country wants for peaceful purposes. Others, like the United States, have challenged that assertion and instituted strict sanctions, fearing that Tehran actually plans to develop nuclear weapons. After years of basic stalemates, Iranian officials and representatives of the P5+1 have managed to reach short-term agreements as they try to strike a larger deal. The sides have been working toward that end in Lausanne, Switzerland, hoping to get a framework pact in place ahead of a March 31 deadline. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, joined these talks Monday. All sides took a break Friday, but are expected to return to the negotiating table soon. Kerry, addressing reporters Saturday in Lausanne before leaving for London, said \"substantial progress\" had been made toward reaching a deal but that \"important gaps remain.\" He insisted that the international powers involved in the talks, the P5+1 -- consisting of Germany and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council: the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain -- were united in their determination to ensure that Iran's nuclear program is purely peaceful. The stakes are high and the issues complicated, Kerry said. \"Let me once again be clear: We don't want just any deal,\" he said. \"If we had, we could have announced something a long time ago.\" There has been \"genuine progress\" over the past 16 months since a joint plan was agreed and in his conversations with Zarif of the past few days, Kerry said. The international powers won't rush the process, he said, but the negotiations are at a decisive point. \"We recognize that fundamental decisions have to be made now and they don't get any easier as time goes by,\" he said. \"It is time to make hard decisions. We want the right deal that would make the world, including the United States and our closest partners and allies, safer and more secure, and that is our test.\" U.S. President Barack Obama has made clear that he wants to achieve a \"comprehensive and durable agreement\" that is based on intensive verification of its implementation rather than trust, Kerry added. \"We have not yet reached the finish line but, make no mistake, we have the opportunity to get this right,\" he said.

Each year, more than 1.5 million travelers are inspired to make the steep walk or catch a horse-drawn carriage to reach this castle perched on a rocky outcropping in the Bavarian countryside. \"People have always been interested in celebrities and powerful people and their homes,\" says Cordula Mauss, PR officer for the Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces. \"Immediately after the death of Ludwig II in 1886, the first tourists came and wanted to see what their king had built as his private residence.\" While castles, palaces and ch\u00e2teaux naturally pique such curiosity, not all have Neuschwanstein's European fairy-tale looks. Some of the world's most-visited palaces, found across Asia, feature red exteriors, pagodas, gates and carvings.

America's closest approximation is California's Hearst Castle, though it fell short of Travel + Leisure's top 20 list with only 750,000 annual visitors. And while Windsor Castle squeaked in at No. 19, Buckingham Palace didn't make the grade (567,613 annual visitors), nor did Romania's Bran Castle (542,000) or a single Irish castle. Ireland's most visited, Blarney Castle, received 365,000 in 2013. That said, there can be a downside to having too many visitors -- these are delicate, historic structures that have existed for hundreds of years, and some, like Neuschwanstein, limit daily entries.

+{"article": "(CNN)The end of \"Jinx,\" the six-part HBO documentary about real estate heir Robert Durst, has launched a debate about whether some potentially incriminating statements Durst made while in the bathroom to a microphone may be used in his criminal prosecution. Durst, as you probably heard, is charged with murder in a killing in California 15 years ago, and he has been suspected, but never charged, in the disappearance of his first wife in New York. Whether or not the taped words of an accused person will be admissible against him involves a look at the rules of evidence and the Constitution, as well as our fast-evolving ideas about privacy. While Durst's attorneys can make a number of arguments to suppress these statements and bar their admission at trial, the bathroom confessions will likely be factored in. Let's go over three main reasons why: . 1. Is this inadmissible hearsay? Probably not. Hearsay is defined as a statement made outside of court that is offered in court for its truth. It really just means a witness can't testify at trial about someone else's version of the facts. If a sentence starts with \"He told me\" or \"She said that,\" it's probably hearsay. As general proposition, hearsay is supposed to be inadmissible, but the exceptions nearly swallow the rule itself -- so much so that many commentators have suggested abolishment of the exception-riddled rule itself. Perhaps the largest and best known category of hearsay exceptions is admissions and confessions. These can be admitted against a defendant. Why? Well, the idea is that these statements are reliable. The thinking is that people don't ordinarily confess to something unless they did it. 2. Is this a violation of Durst's constitutional privilege against self-incrimination? Again, probably not. The rules of the U.S. Constitution are a different matter. The Fifth Amendment's self-incrimination clause states that \"[n]o person ... shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself ...\" By definition then, compulsory self-incrimination requires, well, \"compulsion.\" And not just any compulsion. The kind of compulsion targeted by the Fifth Amendment is governmental coercion. Durst may still contend that his \"confession\" wasn't voluntary. It's true that confessions deemed \"involuntary\" are often excluded at trial under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. However, a confession will only be considered involuntary if it is the product of police activity. Voluntariness is not an issue when admissions are made to a private person, such as a journalist. What of Durst's likely claim that the filmmakers were essentially acting as an arm of the police? Sometimes law enforcement exercises so much control over a civilian that his private actions become police action, constitutionally speaking. This is not an easy case for a defendant to make, though. Durst would have to establish that the HBO interviewers were direct agents of the police and that the interview was coerced by police. The police undoubtedly benefited from the work of these citizen documentarians. But the police frequently benefit from the work of good Samaritans or citizens volunteering information, photos or", "summary": "Robert Durst made some potentially incriminating statements at the end of HBO's \"Jinx\" Danny Cevallos: Durst's attorneys will want to bar their admission at trial, but they will likely be factored in ."}
+{"article": "(CNN)Rand Paul's goal to run for two offices in 2016 cleared a hurdle Saturday after the Kentucky GOP decided to move forward with a proposal to hold a presidential caucus rather than a primary. The plan allows the first-term U.S. senator, who's running for re-election and making a likely bid for president, to get around a Kentucky law that prohibits candidates from appearing on the same ballot twice. Rand Paul searches for green light on caucus proposal . After Paul met with the party's 54-member executive committee in Bowling Green for a two-hour session, the group voted unanimously to appoint a smaller committee that would decide the rules and regulations of how a caucus would be held. The final vote would come in August when a larger gathering of the Kentucky GOP is scheduled to meet and hear a more detailed plan from the task force. \"We thank the members of RPK for their unanimous support and look forward to continuing this process,\" said Paul's top adviser, Doug Stafford, in a statement. Kentucky law allows the state party to determine the details of its presidential preference vote, but not the primary for other elected offices in the state. In other words, Paul's name for his Senate re-election bid would still remain on the May 2016 primary ballot, but the presidential vote would likely move up earlier in the year to March. The senator appeared at the meeting to address some concerns about a caucus, namely the increased cost, as well as the lower voter turnout typically associated with caucuses. He has pledged to raise money through his donor network to help offset the costs, and proponents of the caucus argue that the significant media attention expected and Kentucky's earlier placement in the nominating calendar would spur just as much turnout.

That is, \"unless the person on the inside locks it and this apparently has happened here,\" the CEO said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Iraqi forces appear to be slowly closing in on an important tactical victory against ISIS. But as they press forward in their attempt to retake the city of Tikrit from ISIS insurgents, there is an important question that the United States and its allies should be asking: Could this victory actually undermine the only sustainable strategy for ensuring Iraq's stability? The reality is that short-term tactical victories won't be enough to defeat ISIS, especially as the reliance on Iran-backed Shiite militias is only likely to exacerbate tensions with the largely local Sunni population. Indeed, the crucial ground war component of the campaign has so far been heavily reliant on the Shiite militias, whose track record of sectarian violence is well-documented, and their involvement threatens to drive more Iraqi Sunnis into the arms of ISIS. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said the involvement of these groups \"will only be a problem if it results in sectarianism.\" But based on past experience, many locals are understandably more frightened by their designated \"liberators\" than they are of the vicious extremists of ISIS who have ruled their towns over the past eight months. Historically, Iraq hasn't always needed Shiite militias under Iran's command to fight Sunni extremists. Al Qaeda was expelled from northern Iraq in 2007, when its harsh rule antagonized tribal leaders that had supported the anti-U.S. insurgency, prompting them to make common cause with the Americans in what became known as the \"Awakening\" movement. Unfortunately, once its goal had been achieved, Baghdad rounded on the Awakening, betraying promises of integration into the national army and polity and instead arresting and killing its leaders along with trusted Sunni elected representatives. The United States looked the other way, deeming it a \"domestic\" political matter. That simply emboldened then-Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to deepen his purge of Sunni elected representatives, and to parlay the 2010 election result into a governing coalition despite his own list drawing fewer votes than a rival bloc that included many Sunni leaders. This undermined the work that the United States had done in persuading Iraq's Sunnis that fighting al Qaeda and voting in elections was the best way to advance their communal interests. Put simply, al-Maliki's actions made a mockery of any Sunni confidence in the electoral system or the national government. It was the resulting Sunni alienation that allowed al Qaeda's successor, ISIS, back into those communities. The growing fear among many Sunnis has been compounded by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's statement to parliament that any Iraqi choosing to stay neutral was effectively aligning themselves with ISIS -- remarks that create an atmosphere that enables violence against ordinary Sunnis, many of whom feel caught between the extremists and a Shiite-led government from which they have been systematically oppressed and alienated. And ISIS has undoubtedly capitalized on the permissive environment created by such alienation, which persists despite the Obama administration having convinced itself that al-Abadi would somehow prove to be more inclusive than his predecessors from the same Shiite Islamist party.

+{"article": "(CNN)New figures indicate that about 11 million people have signed up for health insurance during this latest sign-up period of Obamacare, of which about half will be from the uninsured population, based on previous estimates. Once again, the supporters of the law celebrate with proclamations that \"it's working.\" One could say that assessment is true, if the definition of \"working\" means enrolling people into anything called health insurance. To be sure, the law's implementation is progressing, but there is no cause for celebration. It is indeed true that millions of Americans are now newly enrolled into health insurance, but it is disingenuous to tout this as a great success. An estimated 71% of the new insurance arises through Medicaid, using 2014 calculations based on analysis by Haislmaier and Gonshorowski of data from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare. The harsh reality awaiting these low-income Americans is undeniable: according to 2013 data from a 2014 Merritt Hawkins study, 55% of doctors already refuse new Medicaid patients. According to the HSC Health Tracking Physician Survey, 2008, the percentage of doctors that refuse new Medicaid patients dwarf by about 8 to 10 times the percentage that refuses new private insurance patients. Such \"insurance\" from Obamacare not only fails to provide access to doctors, but research in the top medical journals such as Cancer, American Journal of Cardiology, Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation and Annals of Surgery, show that Medicaid beneficiaries suffer worse outcomes than similar patients with private insurance ... all at an added cost of another $800 billion by CBO estimates to taxpayers after the decade. It is not hyperbole to call Medicaid a disgrace at its annual cost of about $450 billion, and expanding it rather than helping poor people buy private insurance is simply inexplicable. Health care access for middle-class Americans is also significantly worsened by Obamacare's private insurance decrees. The law already forced termination of health insurance for millions of Americans estimated as 4.7 million by the Associated Press -- insurance they personally had chosen to buy. The Congressional Budget Office now projects that a stunning 10 million Americans will be forced off their chosen employer-based health insurance by 2021 -- a tenfold increase in the number that was initially projected back in 2011, at the onset of the law.

+{"article": "London (CNN)The handwritten checklist looks like something any teenaged girl might make ahead of a vacation trip: makeup, bras, underwear, boots, an epilator. But this list was apparently made by the three UK schoolgirls suspected of traveling from London to Syria to join ISIS, according to Britain's Guardian newspaper, which has seen the document. The girls' families told British lawmakers Tuesday they had no idea what the girls were planning, and said they were baffled by the teenagers' decision to leave their homes and families. The three East London classmates -- Shamima Begum, 15; Kadiza Sultana, 16; and Amira Abase, 15 -- boarded a Turkish Airlines plane from London's Gatwick Airport to Istanbul on February 17. They are thought to have crossed the Turkish border into Syria within days. Relatives also had harsh words for police, who they said failed to keep them informed after a close friend of the girls headed to Syria in December. Amira Abase's father, Hussen Abase, told lawmakers at a hearing of the Home Affairs Select Committee that he had no idea his daughter was planning to go or that she might have been radicalized. Sahima Begum, the older sister of Shamima Begum, said her sister had been into \"normal teenage things,\" like watching \"Keeping Up with the Kardashians,\" reading and playing games on her phone. There was nothing to indicate she was radicalized, she said. Fahmida Aziz, first cousin of Kadiza Sultana, said that if the family had spotted any signs of radicalization, \"we would have been very effective in stepping in and querying\" that thinking. She also said she had no idea how her cousin accessed the money needed for the trip. Committee chairman Keith Vaz said it was \"every parent's nightmare that this should happen\" and said he could only imagine the families' distress and anguish. Who are the missing UK girls? The families' criticism of law enforcement hinges on a February 5 letter from the police which was given to the three girls to give to their parents, rather than being sent directly to the parents. The families claim they were not told about a 15-year-old friend of the girls going to Syria weeks earlier -- and say that had they known, they might have been able to prevent their daughters from traveling too. Metropolitan Police Chief Bernard Hogan-Howe apologized for his officers' failure to get the letter directly to the parents, in his testimony before the committee. But he also pointed out the difficulties for police in conducting what was at that time a missing person inquiry for the first girl who left, with no sign that these three were planning to follow suit. Hogan-Howe said police were reviewing their procedures in light of what had happened. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley told the committee there was a \"steady flow\" of girls trying to travel to Syria, perhaps one or two a month. He said subsequent police investigations indicated the three girls had paid in cash for their plane tickets to Turkey at a local travel agency, using money linked to the theft", "summary": "Police chief apologizes for failure to send letter to girls' parents but defends police inquiry .

+{"article": "(CNN)With majorities in both chambers of Congress, it is time for Republicans to begin rolling back six years of failed Obama administration policies. Our highest priority during the ongoing budget debate should be undoing the damage caused by defense sequestration and the hundreds of billions of dollars of defense cuts made by the Obama administration. Regrettably, military strength is seen in many quarters as the cause of military adventurism. A strong, robust defense is seen not to deter aggression, but to provoke it. For years, we have systematically underfunded our military, marrying a philosophy of retreat with a misplaced understanding of our larger budgetary burdens and the real drivers of the debt: our entitlement programs. As expected, almost four years after the passage of the Budget Control Act, virtually nothing has been done to address the unsustainable growth of our entitlement programs, while essential defense programs have been sacrificed. Political leaders in Washington need to be reminded that our defense is the single most important responsibility of the federal government. Instead of starting the process by setting arbitrary defense spending levels and then forcing our military to cut vital programs in order to meet these levels, the budgeting process should start by taking into account all the threats against us, listing the programs and capabilities we'll need to protect our people and interests around the world, and then funding those efforts. Even though we've been able to keep the homeland safe for more than a decade, the threats to Americans at home and abroad are growing. From the rise of the Islamic State and the spread of Islamic terrorism, to Russia's aggression in Europe, to Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea, the threats to American security are growing. Yet, even as the world outside our borders is filled with more doubt and uncertainty, the United States has been steadily reducing our spending on defense. Even before sequestration, President Obama made defense cuts of $487 billion over 10 years and redirected the savings to already bloated domestic programs. This was followed by tens of billions more in defense cuts each year because of sequestration, which, when combined with Obama's prior cuts, will total $1 trillion over the coming decade. All of these reductions were enacted despite the warnings of four secretaries of defense and our entire military leadership. The results of these cuts have been disastrous for our military and for our ability to project power and deter our enemies. The slight increase in President Obama's proposed 2016 budget won't significantly change that. At the end of this process, our military will be significantly smaller, dramatically less capable and dangerously unready to deploy if these budget cuts remain in place. The Army is on the path to be reduced to pre-World War II levels. The Navy is at pre-WWI levels. And our Air Force has the smallest and oldest combat force in its history. Our force reductions have been felt throughout the world -- by our friends and our enemies.

+{"article": "(CNN)In his first interview since Islamic State militants burned alive a Jordanian pilot, the King of Jordan spoke to CNN's Fareed Zakaria about why and how the country is going after the terror group. Last December, ISIS captured Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh after his plane went down during airstrikes that were part of the United States-led coalition to defeat the group. For more than a month, al-Kasasbeh's family, hailing from a high-ranking tribe considered especially loyal to Jordan's royal family, implored ISIS to let him go. Hope that he could be spared ended in early February when a video emerged showing the 29-year-old pilot in a cage, being burned alive. King Abdullah II, an instrumental supporter of the global coalition, then said Jordan would be relentless in retaliating against ISIS. The country unleashed airstrikes. To Zakaria, Abdullah reiterated his commitment to stop ISIS. He called its fighters \"outlaws\" who twist Islam and use \"intimidation\" as their biggest weapon. The King told Zakaria that he didn't watch the video of the pilot's slaying. \"I -- many of us refused to see what I think is propaganda,\" Abdullah said. He felt \"disgust, sadness for the family\" and his \"heart went out to the father, the mother, the brothers, the sisters,\" the King continued. \"His wife, they'd only been married for five months. (I felt) anger as the son of the Arab army, Jordanian armed forces. God bless his soul. He's a brother in arms. \"All soldiers past and present were disgusted by the brutality of what Moath was put through,\" Abdullah said. During his interview with Zakaria, the King repeatedly referred to ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, as Daesh. That's an acronym for al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-Sham. Many in the Middle East prefer to use Daesh because, to them, the acronym ISIS suggests the terror group is a legitimate state. They refuse to give the militants that much credit. \"I think if ISIS, or Daesh as we call them, try to intimidate Jordanians ... just (has) the reverse effect,\" Abdullah said. \"If you look at our history, we're a country that's used to being outgunned and outnumbered. We've always punched way above our weight. I think, if anything, Daesh has us as a tiger by the tail.\" The pilot's killing \"just motivated Jordanians to rally around the flag,\" he said. \"The gloves have come off.\" ISIS is \"always trying to intimidate, scare, put fear in people's hearts,\" the King told Zakaria. \"They are trying to invent falsely a linkage to a caliphate, link to our history in Islam that has no truth or bearing to our history.\" ISIS is recruiting \"deluded young men and women\" who \"think this is an Islamic nation.\" U.S. President Barack Obama has caught flak for saying he didn't want to refer to ISIS members as Islamic extremists because their actions are not Islamic. \"I think he is right,\" Abdullah said. \"This is something that has to be understood on a much larger platform.

Now the U.S. Treasury is casting a spotlight on the alleged misdeeds of senior managers at the Banca Privada d'Andorra (BPA), several of whom have been arrested in the past few days. The Treasury Department has alleged that \"high-level managers [at BPA] accepted payments and other benefits from their criminal clients.\" The Andorran authorities took over the running of the bank after the Treasury revelations, and the director general of the Banca Privada, Joan Pau Miquel Prats, was arrested late Friday. Two more bank officials were arrested Sunday. Tiny Andorra, nestled in the rugged Pyrenees mountains, has two big neighbors. One is France. And the scandal has spread to its other neighbor, Spain, where corruption among public officials is a hot-button political issue. Prats had driven BPA's expansion into Spain, through its acquisition of Banco Madrid, in 2011. Banco Madrid caters to wealthy private clients and came under investigation by Spanish financial authorities last year. Since the BPA scandal broke, the commission that investigates illicit financial activity, Sepblac, has raised questions about accounts held by influential Spanish political and business figures at the Banco Madrid. They have not been named. The Central Bank has taken control of Banco Madrid and sent in two inspectors to examine accounts there. The bank's board, which included Prats and a former high-ranking official of the Central Bank, resigned on Thursday. Spanish officials say some 20 suspect operations at the bank are being examined. Spanish authorities are separately investigating substantial assets held at the Banca Privada d'Andorra by members of the Pujol family, who have long been prominent in the politics of Catalonia, a region of Spain that includes Barcelona. The director of the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Jennifer Shasky Calvery, said that \"BPA's corrupt high-level managers and weak antimoney laundering controls have made BPA an easy vehicle for third-party money launderers to funnel proceeds of organized crime, corruption and human trafficking through the U.S. financial system.\" BPA has correspondent accounts with four banks -- HSBC, Citigroup, Bank of America and Deutsche Bank -- through which hundreds of millions of dollars passed. Senior managers at BPA tailored services to their clients to disguise the origin of funds, the Treasury said. One manager provided \"substantial assistance\" to a Russian client, Andrei Petrov, described by the Treasury as a \"third-party money launderer working for Russian criminal organizations.\" Petrov had also received a line of credit from Banco Madrid and is alleged to have bribed local officials in the resort where he set up a property development company. He was arrested in Spain two years ago and is accused of helping launder some 56 million euros ($59 million) in proceeds from Russian criminal organizations. Petrov is yet to go on trial. According to the U.S. Treasury, Petrov has links with one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, Simeon", "summary": "The U.S. Treasury is casting a spotlight on the alleged misdeeds of senior managers at the Banca Privada d'Andorra .

If you aren't a fan, you may soon be in the minority. The show has become something of an industry phenomenon, with ratings growing every week. According to Variety, two weeks before the season finale, which is set to air on March 18, ratings were up 53% from its January 7 premiere in the coveted 18-49 demo and total viewership had risen 45%, from 9.9 million to 14.3 million. Eight straight weeks of growth is almost unheard-of these days in broadcast TV, which has faced fierce competition from cable and streaming services. But Fox's \"Empire\" is doing the damn thing. The show revolves around the character of record label owner Lucious Lyon (played by Terence Howard) and his family, which includes three sons vying to take over his company and an ex-wife who took the fall for him and returns from prison intent on getting what's hers. \"You're so beautiful,\" Empire, and here are some of the reasons why: .

Henson has been in the industry for a minute, and despite critically acclaimed roles in films like \"Hustle & Flow\" and \"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button\" (the latter of which earned her a best supporting actress Oscar nomination), her career hadn't really taken off. Not so now. Henson has sunk her teeth into the role of Lyon family matriarch Cookie. The character is hard-core and street smart and loves her family fiercely, even as she is also motivated by making money. The show's co-creator, Danny Strong, told Entertainment Weekly that fans can thank Henson for the now infamous \"Boo Boo Kitty\" nickname that viewers have come to love. When Cookie sneeringly calls her ex-husband Lucious' new lady love, Anika Calhoun (played by Grace Gealey), \"Boo Boo Kitty,\" you want to yell at the screen, \"Get her, Cookie!\" \"So, basically Taraji is a genius,\" Strong said. \"She's a comic genius, but she's also an incredibly powerful dramatic actress, and we're utilizing all that in Cookie.\" Watch for Henson to snag nominations next award season.

+{"article": "(CNN)The campaign to retake the city of Tikrit from ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, involves a curious mixture of Iraqi forces -- the army and air force, federal police, powerful Shia militia as well as Sunni tribal fighters. It's a cast of about 30,000 fighters with an opaque command structure. And that makes it tough to be precise about numbers -- but by several estimates only one-third of those fighters are from the regular army. A CNN team that's seen the offensive at close quarters noted that Iraqi army commanders appeared to be taking a subordinate role to leaders of the Shia militia, notably Hadi al Ameri, leader of the Badr Organization. Iranian military advisers are on hand, and highly influential on the battlefield. As ISIS fighters in the area probably number in the low thousands, it might seem odd that the Iraqi army is unable to take them on alone. After all, the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) received $20 billion of U.S. money between 2005 and 2012 -- for equipment, bases and training. So just why are the ISF incapable of reclaiming territory seized by ISIS? And how long will it be before they can stand on their own feet? The answers go back to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003; Iraq's military is starting over -- for the second or third time in a decade. One of the most controversial acts of the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority, which ran Iraq following the ouster of Saddam Hussein, was to disband the Iraqi army. The decision, taken in May 2003, \"immediately created a large pool of unemployed and armed men who felt humiliated and hostile to the U.S. occupiers,\" as James P. Pfiffner put it in 2010. President George W. Bush told his biographer Robert Draper in 2006: \"The policy had been to keep the [Iraqi] army intact; didn't happen.\" The reasons have been disputed ever since. In some places there were riots among demobilized soldiers; at the same time training of Iraqi police was a desperately slow process because of the rapidly growing insurgency. In 2004, as in 2014, the security forces buckled as a Sunni insurgency spread through northern and western Iraq. Billions of dollars were spent creating a new Iraqi army from scratch. But it took two years to build a force of just 40,000 men in three light infantry divisions, so unofficial sectarian militia filled the vacuum -- militia that never quite went away. Over a seven-year period, more than $4 billion was spent on renovating and building Iraqi bases. Logistical and maintenance support: $2.6 billion. Supply of equipment: $3.4 billion (in addition to what the Iraqis bought themselves.) Training and staffing the Iraqi police: a cool $9.4 billion. With U.S. assistance and the \"Sons of Iraq\" program to coax Sunni tribes into fighting al Qaeda in Iraq, violence did diminish in 2009 and 2010. But once U.S. forces left at the end of 2011, and with them intelligence-gathering and training programs, things began to unravel.

+{"article": "Moscow (CNN)Four days after he was gunned down by an unknown assailant in the heart of Moscow, former Russian Deputy Prime Minister and outspoken Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov was laid to rest Tuesday in a ceremony attended by hundreds of mourners. His coffin was lowered into the ground at the Troyekurovskoe Cemetery before family, friends and dignitaries, after being carried in procession through Moscow. Mourners laid wreaths, some with ribbons in the colors of the Russian flag, reflecting tributes to a man whom supporters called a true Russian patriot. Earlier, a stream of people took part in a somber memorial service at the Sakharov Center in Moscow. Some held flowers as they filed past the open casket of the prominent Kremlin critic and paid respects to his mother, Dina Eydman, and his children Anton and Zhanna. Hundreds more lined up in the cold outside. Mikhail Kasyanov, a former prime minister under President Vladimir Putin who is now a leading opposition figure and worked closely with Nemtsov, was among the mourners to speak at the service. He said he believed Nemtsov, known for his outspoken views, was killed out of revenge for his politics. He also said he thought the killers would be brought to justice, under the next government of Russia if not the current one. The assassination has spawned a flood of conspiracy theories. Though politically marginalized in recent years, Nemtsov was one of Putin's most vocal critics, and many suspect the Kremlin of either direct or indirect involvement. Putin has vowed to bring those responsible to justice. No one has yet been arrested and authorities have put forward a number of theories, including that the murder was an act of \"provocation\" intended to destabilize Russia, that it was connected to the conflict in Ukraine, that Islamist extremists were involved or that it was linked to Nemtsov's international business affairs. The Moscow Investigative Committee said in a statement on its website Tuesday that \"all scenarios\" are being considered and that it is taking all necessary steps. \"Eyewitness are being questioned, CCTV footage is already being analyzed. Evidence has been collected. A number of tests were carried out -- among them are ballistic, medical examination and trace evidence,\" it said.

Fundamentalists were choking free thought in his secular nation, he wrote. But they couldn't silence it. His friends warned him to be careful, to watch what he posted online. But Rahman dismissed those concerns, saying his Facebook profile page didn't even bear his picture. They don't even know what I look like, he told them.

Solo cups in the place of birds, glow sticks as locusts. What seems like a figment of a wild imagination becomes reality in Thomas Jackson's \"Emergent Behavior\" series. Jackson grew up in Rhode Island and worked in publishing in New York for 13 years, ultimately landing his dream gig as an editor with Forbes magazine. But somewhere along the way, he picked up a camera. He found photography \"effortlessly fulfilling\" compared to the frequent challenges of writing. So he dove in, lens first. After a charming series featuring a robot, he struck a cadence in creating \"swarms\" with inanimate objects such as Post-it notes and plastic plates. \"I started creating these whimsical, fantastic scenarios in which the environment is exploiting us,\" Jackson explained. That's what initially catches the eye -- the uncanny. The bizarre gathering in the behavior of insects or birds, made up of something that shouldn't be there. At first, he relied on digital enhancements to polish his illusions. But as the series evolved, he relied less on editing and more on the installations themselves. More than half of Jackson's \"Emergent Behavior\" series is digitally untouched. How Jackson gets a tubful of cheese balls to hang purposefully around the trunk of a tree seems nonsensical. He only hints at the mechanics. It's just \"wires,\" he said, casually, not revealing enough evidence to ruin the magic. Social media . Follow @CNNPhotos on Twitter to join the conversation about photography. \"But if you look close enough, it will reveal all of its secrets.\" He spends about a day building the installations, and he usually shoots his photos at dusk. The photo of the pink Solo cups was shot against mountainous terrain in Wyoming. The cups, already at odds with nature, look as though they are a flock of birds flying along the rocks. Jackson seemingly casts a magic spell of manic movement, creating what an Internet commentator calls \"a frat party being sucked into a black hole.\" The idea of a swarm -- be it insects or \"thank you\" bags -- fascinates Jackson. They are disconcerting and familiar at once, creating a conundrum that warrants a closer look. \"Maybe because they fly in the face of how we see the world,\" he said.

Prime Minister David Cameron announced last month that Britain would send military advisers to Ukraine and provide an additional 15 million pounds ($22.3 million) in humanitarian aid. An uneasy truce has been in place since last month between the Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Last month, UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told Parliament that Britain was \"providing additional nonlethal support\" in the form of advisory and training teams. \"This support, provided at the request of the Ukrainian government, will help their armed forces develop and maintain the capacity and resilience they need, and help reduce fatalities and casualties,\" Fallon said. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which has been monitoring the ceasefire, said Wednesday that its observers had witnessed continued fighting in areas around Donetsk airport and Shyrokyne, east of the port city of Mariupol. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the presence of foreign military instructors in Ukraine did nothing to reduce tensions, Russian state news agency Sputnik reported. \"Obviously, this is not helping in the building of trust or in easing the tensions in the conflict. It can be simply said that this is not aiding in the settlement, that's a fact,\" Peskov is quoted as saying. The United States has promised to support an upcoming training program for Ukraine's National Guard forces. Russia is under continued pressure from the West to end its support for the separatists. Moscow denies claims by Kiev and the West that it has trained and equipped the rebels, as well as sending Russian troops to fight alongside them. In what Kremlin observers may see as another sign of defiance, Russia signed a treaty Wednesday with Georgia's breakaway territory of South Ossetia. Russia sent its tanks into Georgia in 2008 and subsequently encouraged separatists in its South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions to declare independence from Tbilisi. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg condemned the \"so-called treaty on alliance and integration\" in a statement Wednesday, and repeated NATO's call for Russia to reverse its recognition of the territories as independent states and to withdraw its forces from Georgian soil. \"This so-called treaty is yet another move by the Russian Federation that hampers ongoing efforts by the international community to strengthen security and stability in the region,\" he said. \"It violates Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and blatantly contradicts the principles of international law, OSCE principles and Russia's international commitments. \"It does not contribute to a peaceful and lasting settlement of the situation in Georgia.\" CNN's Vasco Cotovio and Alla Eshchenko contributed to this report.", "summary": "UK will also provide an additional $22.4 million in humanitarian aid .

Sunday's 6-1 demolition of Rayo Vallecano put the Catalan side one point above Real at the top of Spain's La Liga, with Lionel Messi setting more records as he netted a hat-trick while fellow forward Luis Suarez also scored twice. Even without suspended Brazil star Neymar -- the third prong of Barca's striking line -- Enrique was able to happily reflect on a result that fully rubbed salt in Madrid wounds following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao. \"We're elated, but the objective is to be leading at the end of the season. I already said that everybody could lose a game, so we have to keep playing well and win every match,\" he said. \"It's heavy having to win every single match. Each game is more important than the last.\" By contrast, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti is feeling the strain after also dropping points last weekend against Villarreal. \"There is no link-up play, our play is too based around individual play, we need another way of attacking, with faster play and fewer touches,\" said the Italian, who must rouse his troops for Tuesday's European Champions League last-16, second-leg tie at home to Schalke. \"It is quite confusing to see what we're doing at the moment in attack. The ball doesn't move around quickly.\" While Real's front trio of top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale are struggling to match their form from the first half of this season, Barca's star men are moving into menacing mode ahead of the rival teams' \"El Clasico\" clash at the Nou Camp in a fortnight. Messi's 32nd career hat-trick is a record for a Spanish club player, and took him past Ronaldo as the La Liga leader on 24 trebles. The Argentina star also drew level with the Portugal captain as the Spanish league's top scorer this season on 30 goals. It's the sixth successive season in which he has topped 40 goals, with 41 from 38 games so far this campaign. Suarez has now scored six goals in his last four games, and 13 from 26 overall appearances since joining from English club Liverpool after a World Cup that ended in a lengthy ban for his bite on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini. \"Suarez and Messi are having more and more chemistry, and today we all saw what they bring to the team,\" Enrique said. \"I like (Ivan) Rakitic wherever he plays on the field.

Men are traditionally pallbearers in Kabul, where days earlier a mob of male attackers beat and kicked 27-year-old Farkhunda before tossing her off a bridge, setting her body on fire and throwing it in the river. Like many Afghans, Farkhunda used only one name. Early reports suggested that Farkhunda was mentally ill, but her tearful father, Nadir, told CNN affiliate TOLOnews she was a religious teacher who taught the Quran to children. He said there was no way his daughter would burn pages of the holy book, which has been cited as the motive for the horrific attack. Twenty-six people have been arrested in connection with the brutal killing, Afghanistan's Interior Minister Noorul Haq Ulumi said Monday in a statement before parliament. Farkhunda's parents said the killing was instigated by a local mullah of the Shah-e-Do Shamshera Mosque in the city's center, who had been angered by Farkhunda's accusations that he was distributing false tawiz. Tawiz are pieces of paper containing verses of the Quran which are sometimes worn as pendants to ward off evil and bring the wearer good luck. TOLOnews reported that \"in order to save his job and life,\" the mullah reportedly began shouting accusations that Farkhunda had burned the Quran. Witnesses said a crowd gathered and hauled Farkhunda into the street. \"We were asking the people to stop beating her and let us ask what religion she belongs to,\" one witness told TOLOnews. \"But the people didn't listen to us and kept beating her.\" Afghanistan's Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs said it had found no evidence Farkhunda burned the Quran. Meanwhile, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani condemned the killing as \"heinous\" and ordered a commission to investigate it fully. Farkhunda's father said those guilty of killing his daughter should face justice: \"I don't want blood of my daughter go in vain.\" Thirteen police officials have been suspended in connection with the attack, according to Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Seddiqi. He earlier confirmed 11 people had been arrested. \"We're very interested particularly to see what happens in terms of the investigation of the police behavior,\" said Patricia Grossman, Afghanistan researcher for Human Rights Watch. \"That was, for us, one of the most troubling aspects of this case -- that the police did not intervene adequately and properly to save her when there was an opportunity to do so.\" On Sunday, as they watched Farkhunda's casket being carried to her grave, the crowd shouted \"Kabul police officials should be fired,\" according to Afghan human rights activist Ramin Anwari. Government officials, ministers, journalists and civil society members were among the thousands of people who attended her funeral, Anwari said.

+{"article": "(CNN)An ancient ring has shed new light on the ties between Vikings and the Islamic world, more than a century after its discovery. The finger ring found in a 9th century Swedish grave is inscribed with Arabic Kufic writing. The letters appear to read \"AL_LLH, researchers say, which they interpret as meaning \"for/to (the approval of) Allah.\" In a paper published in the journal Scanning, the researchers say it is the only ring with an Arabic inscription ever found at a Scandinavian archaeological site. The object was originally discovered during a late 19th century grave excavation in the town of Birka, on Bj\u00f6rk\u00f6 island, about 19 miles (30 kilometers) from Stockholm. Birka was a key trading center during the Viking age and made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. The ring is part of the Swedish History Museum's collection, originally cataloged as being made of gilded silver and violet amethyst, bearing the inscription \"Allah.\" Researchers led by Stockholm University biophysicist Sebastian W\u00e4rml\u00e4nder say they used \"scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to analyze the ring's composition and found that it was in fact made of silver alloy and the \"amethyst\" was colored glass. \"For the stone, we must remember that even though colored glass might today be perceived as a 'fake' material of lower value, this was not necessarily so in the past,\" the team cautioned. \"Even though glass production began around 5,000 years ago in the Levant it was still an exotic material in Viking Age Scandinavia.\" More significantly, the researchers found no trace of the gold that had been assumed to coat the ring and noted the presence of filing marks. \"Together with the absence of gold on the metal surface ... the file marks clearly show that the previous description of the ring as gilded was mistaken: if the surface had been gilt and the gold layer had worn away, also the file markings would be gone. But the metal surface displays no wear, and as the original file marks are still in place, this ring has never been much used.\" The team, therefore, believes the ring was passed from an Arabic silversmith to the woman, with few or any other owners in between. While imported coins were also found in the grave -- many from Afghanistan -- they were \"usually worn and torn ... from passing many hands along the established trade routes\" researchers said. The owner of the ring was found wearing traditional Scandinavian clothing, but the researchers said it was impossible to determine her ethnicity due to the decomposed state of the bones in the grave. \"It is not impossible that the woman herself, or someone close to her, might have visited -- or even originate from -- the Caliphate (which then stretched from Tunisia to the borders of India) or its surrounding regions,\" they said.

+{"article": "(CNN)As a person-of-color, African-American, veteran minority journalist and longtime enthusiast of all things \"Daily Show,\" I am of course as happy, proud and thrilled as the wife of a successful Apollo astronaut over the impending ascension of Trevor Noah, the biracial comedian from South Africa, to Jon Stewart's anchor chair on what's believed by many to be the most trusted half-hour of news and information in America. As a person who believes in fair play and equal opportunity for all, I am also moved to wonder when a woman will get the chance to preside over a talk show after sunset? Look. I don't mean to sound ungrateful. After generations of near-to-total invisibility on mass media airwaves, it's bracing to find a whole one-hour block of high-profile cable television infotainment anchored by men who look like me. Indeed, in pushing forth both Noah and Larry Wilmore, the writer, comic and erstwhile National Black Correspondent for \"The Daily Show,\" to preside over both halves of Comedy Central's much-coveted 11 p.m.-to-midnight bloc, Stewart is acknowledging what the mainstream of the country truly is: i.e. not as pale-faced as it once thought it was. And so far, Wilmore's \"The Nightly Show,\" which premiered earlier this year as a replacement for the very different \"Daily Show\" companion once hosted by Stephen Colbert, is gradually establishing its own identity as an equally cheeky hybrid of sketch satire and celebrity forum with its own multicultural flavor. Still, one does wonder what happened to the groundswell of support building among \"Daily Show\" constituents for Jessica Williams, a three-year veteran of the show and an early favorite for Stewart's spot after he announced last month he was leaving. Williams, who is black, tweeted back to her supporters her grateful opinion that she was \"extremely under-qualified for the job.\" Maybe, but what about Samantha Bee? She's the \"most senior correspondent\" for \"The Daily Show\" and is taking her penchant for performance artistry and provocation to TBS, where she'll create her own satiric news franchise. Her track record bodes well for her prospects there. But it's difficult to find any evidence that she was considered a Stewart successor -- though her announcement that she was leaving the show came a month after Stewart's. Besides Bee? No one, least of all those affiliated with Comedy Central, have disclosed any candidates besides Noah. There was even less buzz about the Stewart opening than Colbert's a year ago, during which time there were many willing to say that now was the time to finally give a woman a shot at late-night TV for the first time since the late Joan Rivers' Fox Network effort, \"The Late Show\" came in 1987-- and went in 1988. And yes, we aren't neglecting Chelsea Handler, whose \"Chelsea Lately\" was for seven seasons on the E! Network a bawdier late-night alternative to whatever Letterman, Stewart and others were putting down beyond prime-time. She's supposed to start streaming a new show through Netflix sometime next year. So one supposes she's pretty busy.

Whoever created the file, posted online Saturday before being removed, claimed to have hacked military databases and said it was leaking 100 names \"so that our brothers residing in America can deal with you.\" The possibility of lone-wolf attacks in the United States, the type that this message calls for, is a threat officials take seriously. Attorney General Eric Holder said last month that the threat of a lone-wolf attack inside the United States is one thing that keeps him awake at night.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service notified the Marines named in the file about this \"presently unverified threat,\" a Marine Corps spokesman said. The Navy reminded service members to make sure to limit the amount of personal information available online about themselves. The Army said in a statement Sunday that it was working with the Defense Department to \"determine the validity of any potential threats,\" and it echoed the Navy in advising soldiers \"to take prudent measures to limit the sharing of personal information online.\" A U.S. law enforcement official said that all 100 or so troops named in the file are being contacted. It is believed that ISIS members and sympathizers have been scouring social media sites trying to glean as much information as possible about service members, and have even threatened the spouses of military personnel online. The file appeared to include information that is already available publicly, through social media accounts, online phone directories and other accessible public records.

+{"article": "(CNN)Congratulations, Internet haters! Well done, keepers of the one-true-way-to-talk-about-race! If we don't tamp down the backlash against Starbucks \"Race Together\" campaign, I fear that no major corporation will even try to talk about race again -- for maybe 10 or 20 years. Is that really what we want? Look, I get it. Asking baristas to hold conversations about race is a lot to demand of already hard-working employees. Not to mention, the topic should probably be called \"systematic racism,\" not just \"race.\" And there are legitimate questions about what Starbucks could realistically hope to accomplish, here. But for crying out loud! In the past 48 hours, racial justice activists have spilled more digital ink criticizing Starbucks for trying to fight racism than they have against other (actually racist) companies. The truth is that we cannot have it both ways. We cannot demand that companies address race, and then attack them when they try. Yes, it seems like harmless fun to pile on or retweet the snark. At some point, all of us have enjoyed the cheap thrill one gets by kicking around a big company online. But the cost this time is that no corporation will want to do anything creative or constructive on racial subjects for a very long time. In fact, some activists are responding with such little sympathy, empathy and grace, that other corporations are like to run the other way. Again, is that what we want? Mellody Hobson, an African-American member of the Starbucks board and a personal friend, is a major supporter of this campaign. How will other corporate boards react in the future when a minority member encourages the company to publicly address issues of racial inclusion? Starbucks is trying to make a positive difference. If the company gets rewarded, others will follow. But nobody wants their brand to get beaten up. At some point in the future, activists will launch an online petition or protest against a company guilty of some legitimately racist behavior. But how seriously will anyone take us, when even the \"good guys\" end up getting kicked in the teeth and called racist -- for trying to OPPOSE bigotry? Modern science tells us that bias lives on, in even the most dedicated anti-racist. The only cure is talking about it. Our country needs more open discussion of race, not less. Companies who try to further that discussion should be rewarded, even if their initial attempts are imperfect. We can put forward suggestions and criticisms in a constructive manner: \"This is a great first step, Corporation! Here are five ways to improve the campaign -- and make it even better.\" I think any human anywhere would be open to hearing that kind of feedback.

The attorney earlier indicated such a bail was probably higher than his client could post. Knight bent over in his chair at the defense table, with his attorney beside him, and two deputies rushed to him as he was facedown. Moments earlier, the judge ruled that Knight \"has a great potential to flee and apparently has so in the past.\" \"In this court's opinion, $25 million is reasonable, and it is so set,\" said Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen. Attorney Matthew Fletcher told CNN affiliate KABC that Knight hit his head on a chair and knocked himself out. Fletcher later saw Knight in the holding cell, and \"he was dripping sweat ... like somebody threw a bucket of water on him,\" Fletcher told the station. \"And he wiped the sweat off his head and said, 'I haven't had my medication,' and I said since when, and he said since yesterday. That's when I went back in and told the judge 'You need to make an order that he gets his medicine and he hasn't been fed' and the judge said, 'Well, they offered him food at some point today,' and I said well that's not what I've heard,\" Fletcher told the affiliate. Knight, who suffers from diabetes and blood clots, was taken to the hospital, the attorney said. Knight's condition was not immediately available. He has collapsed before while in custody. Knight has been held in solitary confinement, Fletcher added. When asked about the $25 million bail, Fletcher said, \"It's just laughable.\" The bail in other prominent murder cases \"at most is $5 million,\" Fletcher told the affiliate. \"The heads of the Mafia, $5 million (bail),\" Fletcher said. Prosecutors sought the $25 million bail, he added. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for April 13. Knight, 49, has pleaded not guilty to several charges that accuse him of running over two men -- killing one of them -- in January after an argument. Knight is charged with one count of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run, with an allegation that he committed a serious and violent felony while out on bail, prosecutors said. The man who died was Terry Carter, 55, a former rap record label owner. The second man is Cle \"Bone\" Sloan, 51. 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 argument spilled over to the parking lot of Tam's Burgers in Compton. 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 Dogg and Tupac Shakur.

Her journey to success wasn't easy -- as a victim of bullying at the age of 13 she found respite in boxing after being introduced to it by her father and brother. \"I got bullied quite a lot growing up, my dad's Pakistani and my mum's Portuguese,\" Sadiq told CNN. \"I got stick from both sides, from white and black people. I felt like I wasn't accepted. I used to move schools so many times just to feel accepted. \"People would stay stuff about how I looked... everyone said that's a boy's sport, what are you doing that for? You're going to look like a man, like a transsexual. \"I was bullied from such a young age, I felt like it was never going to stop.

Tribal leaders involved in negotiations with al Qaeda over the last month handed Abdullah Al Khalidi to Saudi authorities on Monday, two Yemeni government officials said. Unknown gunmen kidnapped Al Khalidi, the Saudi deputy consular, in 2012 as he was leaving his residence in the Mansoora district of Yemen's business capital of Aden. He was later handed over to al Qaeda, where he appeared in al Qaeda video last year pleading to the Saudi government to ensure his safe release. Al Qaeda was demanding a ransom for his release and threatened to kill him if the ransom was not paid. CNN was not able to confirm whether Saudi Arabia or his family paid a ransom in exchange for his release. A Yemeni Foreign Ministry official told CNN that his government was not involved in the negotiations for Al Khalidi's release. \"The Yemeni government does not negotiate with terrorists. Ransoms that are paid to terrorists motivates them to conduct more kidnappings,\" said the official on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to media . The Saudi Interior Ministry announced Monday that Al Khalidi reached Riyadh safely and is undergoing medical checkups. Al Khalidi had been living in Aden for four years when he was kidnapped. Last week, a Frenchwoman working for an international organization was kidnapped, along with her Yemeni translator, in Sanaa. Two four-wheel drive vehicles were used in the kidnapping attempt, according to eyewitnesses. Their whereabouts remain unknown. Kidnappings of foreigners is common in Yemen with tribes or al Qaeda-linked militants often demanding a ransom for their release or using them as a bargaining chip in their dealings with the central government.

Olukolade said the troops had routed Boko Haram fighters in towns and villages leading to Gwoza. \"Several of the terrorists have died and many of them captured in the process. A lot of arms and ammunition have been recovered and the administrative headquarters completely destroyed. A massive cordon and search has commenced to locate any of the fleeing terrorists or hostages in their custody,\" Olukolade said. Boko Haram declared its own \"caliphate\" after seizing the area around Gwoza, in Borno state, in August 2014, according to the Chatham House think tank. The militant group has purportedly pledged allegiance to ISIS and says its aim is to impose a stricter enforcement of Sharia law across Nigeria, which is split between the majority Muslim north and the mostly Christian south. Nigeria's general elections take place Saturday . The polls had been scheduled for February 14, but on February 7, Nigeria's election commission announced they would be postponed for six weeks due to security concerns, with the military needing more time to secure areas controlled by Boko Haram. The controversial decision was unpopular among many Nigerians and led to widespread protests. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, who is running for reelection, has been criticized for not doing enough to combat Boko Haram. On Friday, Jonathan referenced the Gwoza victory in a broadcast to the nation, praising Nigeria's armed forces for their \"immense sacrifices\" in defending the nation. \"We are also glad that our gallant armed forces have successfully stemmed the seizure of Nigerian territories in the northeast by the terrorist group, Boko Haram,\" Jonathan said. \"They have recaptured most of the communities and territories formerly occupied by the insurgents, making it possible for thousands of internally displaced Nigerians to begin returning to their homes and communities.\" Jonathan said security agencies were fully prepared to deal decisively with \"any group or persons who attempt to disrupt the peaceful conduct of the elections.\" \"Those who may harbor any intentions of testing our will by unleashing violence during the elections in order to advance their political ambitions should think again as all necessary measures have been put in place to ensure that any persons who breach the peace or cause public disorder during or after the elections are speedily apprehended and summarily dealt with according to our laws,\" the President said.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's time for leaders in Israel and the United States to call off their war of insults before they cause serious, lasting damage. Heading into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address on Tuesday to a joint session of Congress, both sides should immediately agree to a cease fire. The speech itself is a terrible mistake. Arranging it without prior consultation with the White House was not only an affront to Barack Obama but to the Presidency itself. One would have thought that after all the uproar, Netanyahu would have caught a \"cold\" and postponed, but now that he plans to go ahead, he should at least give a measured, thoughtful address -- not the barn burner for which he is known. But let's be clear: he also deserves a respectful hearing in Congress from both sides of the aisle. Blame for the deterioration in relations is shared here in America as well as in Israel. This conflict began on a personal level. Those close to Obama and Netanyahu say the two men took an instant dislike years ago and have since descended into loathing one another. Obama, they say, regards Netanyahu as headstrong, bombastic and reckless. Netanyahu sees Obama as weak, unreliable and priggish. The Obama team also accuses Netanyahu of timing his Congressional speech to rally Israeli voters behind him in elections two weeks away -- Bibi as Churchill standing up to the Nazis -- while Netanyahu's team is convinced Obama is desperate for a deal to burnish his legacy -- the Nobel laureate who brought peace. Each thinks the other endangers the future of the world and each has allowed his top lieutenants to viciously attack the other in the press. But in recent months what began as personal antipathy has deepened and widened into a serious split over the best way to head off Iran's aggressive push to become a nuclear power. The Iranian threat has long been vexing; former Defense Secretary Bob Gates once told me it was the toughest problem he saw in nearly a half century serving of distinguished service in national security. There are no obvious solutions acceptable to key parties. The Obama administration believes that a compromise agreement with Iran limiting -- but not dismantling -- its nuclear capability is better than to have current talks fall apart, risking an armed showdown. The Netanyahu government believes the agreement which Obama appears ready to accept will let Iran eventually wriggle free and build a bomb. In truth, there is merit to both points of view -- and the devil here is not only in the details but in the very structure of an agreement. As Obama believes, a negotiated settlement is far preferable to a possible war or learning to live with a nuclear Iran. But what is alarming not only to Israel but to other American friends in the region -- and rightly so -- is that the U.S. and its partners in the negotiation with Iran (Russia, China, the UK, France, Germany) have made repeated concessions to get an Iranian signature without getting major", "summary": "David Gergen: Netanyahu's speech is a terrible mistake of his making but he deserves a hearing .

+{"article": "(CNN)In the midst of all the shouting over Indiana's new religious-freedom law, which many fear will lead to increased discrimination against LGBT people, culture warriors marked the grim anniversary of another conservative \"victory,\" one that left more than 10,000 needy children without their pledged financial support. A year ago this week, I rose each morning with red, puffy eyes and heavy sense of exhaustion. I hadn't slept soundly since March 26, a day many of my friends and readers mark as the last day they wanted anything to do with organized Christianity. It all started when World Vision, a humanitarian organization I had long supported and promoted, announced a change to its hiring policy allowing people in same-sex marriages to work in its U.S. offices. In response, conservative evangelicals rallied, and within 72 hours, more than 10,000 children had lost their financial support from canceled World Vision sponsorships. Ten-thousand children. In addition, funding for schools, hospitals, water projects, and medical care was threatened as churches vowed to cut off support to an organization that hired LGBT people. As one of my readers, Anthony, recalls, \"Our church leadership vowed that they would pull all support, including over $2 million to build two hospitals in Zambia.\" To try and stem some of the bleeding, I joined with other World Vision bloggers to encourage my readers to sponsor children or make one-time donations to the organization. We had raised several thousand dollars and multiple sponsorships -- many coming from gay and lesbian couples -- when the CEO of World Vision announced the charity would reverse its decision and return to its old policies discriminating against gay and lesbian employees. It had worked. Using wells and hospitals and child sponsorships as bargaining chips in the culture wars had actually worked. Never in my life had I been so angry at my own faith tradition. Many conservative evangelicals count the World Vision reversal as a major victory in the culture wars. Eric Teetsel, director of the Manhattan Declaration, told Christianity Today he considered it \"the best news of 2014\" for evangelical Christians. \"This was Christianity at its best,\" he said. But as I survey the battlefield a year later, I can't help but wonder if even the most strident culture warriors would consider the World Vision campaign worth its many casualties. There are, of course, the families around the world affected by the sudden drying up of funds meant to support their hospitals and schools, not to mention the kids who used to receive letters and gifts from their sponsors, but whose pictures were casually ripped from the refrigerator and tossed into the garbage can once they were deemed expendable collateral in an American political battle. Then there are the many gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people, (especially LGBT Christians caught in the middle), for whom the campaign represented yet another blow to their humanity. I remember a gay friend of mine telling me, through tears, \"Christians don't even think I'm worthy of answering phones in the office of a humanitarian organization.

+{"article": "(CNN)\"The Law of the Jungle, which never orders anything without a reason, forbids every beast to eat Man.\" I still remember the first time I read the passage from \"The Jungle Book,\" heart racing beneath my pajamas covered with The Six Million Dollar Man. \"The real reason for this is that man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of white men on elephants, with guns, and hundreds of brown men with gongs, rockets and torches. Then everybody in the jungle suffers,\" Rudyard Kipling wrote. I probably understood that tiger attacks were fairly rare in Milwaukee, but to my 11-year-old brain, Kipling was dropping wisdom that just might keep me alive on the next expedition into the weedy lot behind Piggly Wiggly. \"The reason the beasts give among themselves is that Man is the weakest and most defenseless of all living things, and it is unsportsmanlike to touch him.\" Reading that passage 35 years later, while rolling through the very forest that inspired the classic, the irony in that line finally clicks. When we hear the woof of a frightened deer and my guide kills the engine, my grown-up heart pounds once again. It is a sign that there may be big cats nearby. \"I wonder who will be the last person to see a tiger in the wild? And are they alive today?\" These are the questions that launched this stop on \"The Wonder List,\" and they led us to a much bigger question about life in the 21st century: Is the planet still big enough for man and man-eater? India is about one-third the size of the continental United States, with four times as many people. That kind of human pressure has changed Kipling's \"Law of the Jungle\" in dramatic ways. According to the animal conservation group Born Free, there are more tigers in cages in Texas than in the forests of India. So I set out to understand how and why. Having covered the poaching of African animals to feed the huge market for Asian medicine, I assumed the demand for tiger-skin rugs in Dubai or tiger-bone wine in Beijing would be the biggest threat to this endangered cat. Can tigers claw their way back from the brink? But it turns out that tiger-human conflict is a much bigger problem. Almost half a billion rural Indians have no plumbing and answer nature's call by squatting in the forest. Most tiger attacks happen when these people are mistaken for prey, and most tiger kills come in the angry hours that follow, as friends and neighbors of the victim seek revenge. And so, a new specialty in conservation is the art of tiger conflict mediation. It is not easy to convince a frightened farmer that the cat that ate his cow is more valuable alive than caged or dead. But these efforts, along with a more pointed anti-poaching campaign, seem to be paying off. The latest tiger census counted 2,226 big cats in India, a 30% increase over the previous count in 2011.

When he was 15, Gonz\u00e1lez made a decision that would forever change his life -- to leave Omoa, an impoverished village in Honduras -- with dreams of getting to the United States.

+{"article": "(CNN)Two police officers shot and wounded while standing guard outside the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department early Thursday were deliberately targeted in what a police official called an \"ambush.\" Such ambush-style attacks were the leading circumstance in the surging number of shooting deaths of law enforcement officers, according to the nonprofit, Washington-based National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The shootings were a chilling low point in the protests in the St. Louis suburb since a Ferguson police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in August. The demonstrators were out again late Wednesday -- in response to the announcement hours earlier of Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson's resignation -- when shots rang out from a hill about 125 yards from where the protesters had gathered, according to witnesses. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said the shootings were an \"ambush\" intended \"for whatever nefarious reason\" to inflict harm on the officers. The officers -- one shot in the face, the other in the shoulder -- have been released from the hospital. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder decried the shootings as a \"heinous assault (that) was inexcusable and repugnant.\" Calling the shooting a \"cowardly action,\" Holder said, \"I condemn violence against any public safety officials in the strongest terms, and the Department of Justice will never accept any threats or violence directed at those who serve and protect our communities.\" The number of law enforcement officers shot to death in the line of duty rose more than 50% in 2014, the law enforcement group said in a report released in December. Many of those shootings occurred during police interactions with suspects such as traffic stops, responses to disturbances or attempted arrests. Such was the case in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Tuesday, when Deputy U.S. Marshal Josie Wells was killed in an exchange of gunfire after going to arrest a fugitive murder suspect at a motel. However, ambushes were the largest single category of circumstances in the shooting deaths of officers in 2014, according to the group's report. Fifty officers were killed by firearms -- 15 in ambush attacks -- in 2014, the Memorial Fund said. That's compared with five ambushes among 32 shooting deaths in 2013 and six ambush deaths during 2012, according to the FBI. But those ambush numbers have trended higher before in previous years: The FBI counted 15 officer deaths by ambush each year in 2011, 2010 and 2009. Ambush situations were the biggest category of circumstance behind 543 officers feloniously killed from 2002 to 2011: 23.2%. Ambush killings are nothing new. The FBI defines two types: . One is by \"entrapment and premeditation,\" which is a scenario \"where the officer was lured into danger as the result of conscious consideration and planning. These attacks are generally accomplished from cover or hiding; however, they can occur without cover or hiding,\" the agency said.

That's the question burning up online parenting groups and in family rooms after an amateur photographer snapped a picture of two children scampering on top of the Vietnam Women's Memorial in Washington. The photographer, Matt Munson, described the shot on Facebook as \"two little brats climbing over war memorial right in front of a veteran.\" The parents, he said, were laughing. \"It actually drew a crowd of spectators and the parents realized how evil they were being and quickly took off before I could take a picture of them all,\" Munson wrote. \"The more I look at this photo the angrier I get.\" He has plenty of company there. As the photo went viral, comment after comment poured in on Facebook and Twitter, chastising the parents for allowing the kids to play on the statue, part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that depicts three women tending to a wounded soldier. One nurse cradles the wounded fighter while another looks despairingly into an empty helmet. The third looks skyward, to a rescue helicopter or perhaps God, according to the memorial foundation's website. In Munson's photo, a visitor to the memorial seems to grimace at the sight as he pushes an older man in a wheelchair. The older man, wearing a Navy ballcap, and a woman also look on. The children's parents aren't shown. Disgusting. \"Disgusting,\" Facebook user Trisha Davidson wrote of the children's actions. \"So wrong,\" Twitter user karsonwithak chimed in.

+{"article": "(CNN)The news that the U.S. military will charge Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with desertion for abandoning his post in Afghanistan revives a deeply disturbing and morally wrenching incident in America's troubled war in Afghanistan. From the moment last year that the world learned about the prisoner-swap deal that secured his freedom, the questions that surrounded Begdahl's disappearance gained significance. After all, the United States had agreed to a very high price for his release. Based on the evidence that has come to public light, desertion seems the right charge against Bergdahl, whose comrades say he walked away, abandoning his commitments as a soldier in a war and creating new and greater dangers for them. But even before the charges were filed, there were other question whose answers are emerging. Was the United States right to negotiate a high-price trade? Did \"leave no man behind\" trump \"no negotiating with terrorists\"? And if it did, did the importance of saving one man outweigh the dictate not to pay ransom even if that man was a traitor or a deserter? New information about his disappearance and life of the people freed in exchange for Bergdahl make the case all the more troubling. Bergdahl, you will recall, spent five years as a prisoner of the Haqqani network, a group allied with the Taliban organization, America's principal enemy in Afghanistan. Taliban fighters had captured him in June 2009, just after Bergdahl, apparently disenchanted with the military, left his post in southeastern Afghanistan. The Taliban handed the American soldier to the Haqqanis, who shuttled him between locations as they and their partners negotiated for his release, seeking to maximize the profit from their valuable captive. In May 2014 they struck a deal. Five Taliban commanders were flown out of the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, freed in exchange for the American soldier whose disappearance many had already labeled a desertion. The images became iconic. A strikingly pale Bergdahl, blinking painfully against the bright sun as he was handed over to U.S. officials. The scene contrasted sharply with a video of the Taliban chiefs' receiving a heroes' welcome in Qatar, where they prepared for a new life after their American captivity. National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Bergdahl had served with \"honor and distinction.\" If that had been the case, the trade would have proved much less controversial. But from the moment Bergdahl went missing there had been questions. In the letters he wrote home before vanishing, Bergdahl showed a steady erosion of his faith in the military and belief in the mission. \"The future is too good to waste on lies,\" he told his parents. \"And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others.\" Men who had served with Bergdahl said he had simply walked off the base carrying little more than a compass.

+{"article": "(CNN)In 1971, a physicist conceptualized the existence of a fourth fundamental element in the electronic circuit, besides the three that were already in use at the time. His name was Leon Chua and he believed -- for reasons of symmetry -- that an extra component could one day be constructed to join the resistor, the capacitor and the inductor. He called it \"memristor\", a portmanteau of the words memory and resistor. It took 37 years for our engineering abilities to catch up with that idea: the first memristor was built by Hewlett Packard in 2008. And today, many researchers believe it could spark a revolution in computing. Simply put, the memristor could mean the end of electronics as we know it and the beginning of a new era called \"ionics\". The transistor, developed in 1947, is the main component of computer chips. It functions using a flow of electrons, whereas the memristor couples the electrons with ions, or electrically charged atoms. In a transistor, once the flow of electrons is interrupted by, say, cutting the power, all information is lost. But a memristor can remember the amount of charge that was flowing through it, and much like a memory stick it will retain the data even when the power is turned off. This can pave the way for computers that will instantly turn on and off like a light bulb and never lose data: the RAM, or memory, will no longer be erased when the machine is turned off, without the need to save anything to hard drives as with current technology. But memristors have another fundamental difference compared with transistors: they can escape the boundaries of binary code. Initially, the technology will be mostly used to create super-fast memory chips that contain more data and consume less energy. This alone would make regular computers much more powerful, but down the line, the memristor could also take on the processing. Jennifer Rupp is a Professor of electrochemical materials at ETH Zurich, and she's working with IBM to build a memristor-based machine. Memristors, she points out, function in a way that is similar to a human brain: \"Unlike a transistor, which is based on binary codes, a memristor can have multi-levels. You could have several states, let's say zero, one half, one quarter, one third, and so on, and that gives us a very powerful new perspective on how our computers may develop in the future,\" she told CNN's Nick Glass. Such a shift in computing methodology would allow us to create \"smart\" computers that operate in a way reminiscent of the synapses in our brains. Free from the limitations of the 0s and 1s, these more powerful computers would be able to learn and make decisions, ultimately getting us one step closer to creating human-like artificial intelligence. Transistors are based on silicon, a rigid material whose properties are used to manage the flow of electrons, and thus information. In 1975, Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel, formulated a famous law which states that the number of transistors in an electronic circuit doubles", "summary": "The memristor is a new type of electrical component that could revolutionize electronics .

Myanmar's Ministry of Information said in a statement that the ship capsized Friday night as it sailed, in bad weather conditions, around the city of Sittwe. That's when a large wave crashed into the ferry, causing it capsize near Myaybone and Myaukkyine islands. Authorities have managed to rescue at least 167 people, according to the information ministry for Myanmar, which is also known as Burma. Pictures from the government showed rescue workers helping people off a boat onto the land. Sittwe is the capital of Rakhine state and sits on the Bay of Bengal, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) from the Bangladesh border. This weekend's weather forecast for the city calls for some clouds giving way to clear skies, with high daytime temperatures expected to be in the 30s Celsius (80s to 90s Fahrenheit). Fatal ferry disasters are nothing new to the region. Last month, at least 68 people died when a packed double-decker ferry sank while on the Padma River north of neighboring Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, officials said. A cargo vessel hit the ferry, causing it to overturn and trapping passengers on its lower deck. Forty-five people died in an accident on the same river in August.

We met three years ago in an Atlanta hotel conference room. He and his wife, Gerti, were touring the United States to promote a new book. I could tell instantly that he was related to Anne. His face resembled hers so much that it felt almost as though I was meeting her in person. \"Anne Frank's Family\" had just been published, based on 14 boxes of letters, postcards, photos and documents that Gerti accidentally discovered in the attic of their house in Basel. Elias told me that it wasn't just Anne who loved to write; everyone in the family did. The 6,000 recovered documents told a story of a family torn apart by war and anti-Semitism. That day in Atlanta, I listened to Elias tell me about loved ones he lost. He told me he was lucky that his family had remained in neutral Switzerland when World War II broke out. I thought back to our conversation Thursday when I learned the news of Elias' death. He died peacefully at his home in Basel, Switzerland, at 90, said an announcement posted on the website of Anne Frank Fonds, the foundation that Elias headed. Like millions of people who read \"The Diary of Anne Frank,\" I was deeply influenced by her words and in awe of her family's courage. Anne received her diary on her 13th birthday and wrote in it for the two years that her family hid from the Nazis in the secret annex of an Amsterdam apartment.

Later, Anne and her sister Margot were taken to Bergen-Belsen, where they both died in March 1945. Her father, Otto Frank, was the sole survivor of the family, one of only 7,000 people who made it out alive from Auschwitz.

When Hadi called for military intervention to beat back their attempt to overthrow him, adjacent countries answered with a grand airstrike operation. In the darkness of early Saturday, their jets increased the hail of ordnance on Sanaa, as Saudi led operation al-Hazm Storm went into its third day.

+{"article": "(CNN)They were not-so-affectionately dubbed the \"bed-wetters\" by then-Obama senior adviser David Plouffe. The definition: Democrats who run to the hills every time there's a bump in the road. The Chicken Littles. The woe-is-us crowd. Well, they're at it again. Not surprisingly, it's because of the Hillary Clinton email brouhaha, an unforced error that is now ricocheting around the political world. And the home team stands in place, just watching, somewhat stunned. But Democrats don't actually have the luxury of standing by and seeing how this all plays out. Hillary Clinton is their candidate; their putative nominee. \"Their only viable plan is to make her the best candidate possible,\" says one senior Democratic strategist. \"And from time to time, this may require an intervention.\" Now might be a good time. But while the anxious Democrats shake their heads about the state of affairs \u2014 and the lack of serious alternatives in the presidential lineup \u2014 they might do well to look at themselves. Over the past six years, there's been a sharp structural decline of elected Democrats everywhere below the presidential level. Sure, we all know about how the Republicans regained control of the Senate in 2014, but what about the fact that blue-state governors fell like tent poles? Or that GOP governors now outnumber the Democrats by almost two-to-one, 31 to 18. Or that Republicans have complete control of nearly three times as many state legislatures as the Democrats, 30 to 11. And down the ballot, Democrats under Obama have lost more than 900 state legislative seats: the worst showing of any modern president. That's eye-popping. So, the conventional judgment that the Clinton behemoth is just too big \u2014 too well funded, too well supported, too historic \u2014 all helps account for the paucity of alternatives, to be sure. But there's much, much more to it than the phenom of Bigfoot Hillary. It's the phenom of Barack Obama, too \u2014 and the very strong counterforces he's generated around the country. The gains at the presidential level have not been cost-free: The country is polarized, the Democrats are often on defense and they're losing ground. One result: a thin presidential bench, which is painfully evident. Clinton asks State to release emails: What you need to know . And if you take a peek at those blue-state governors who might be president, consider this: At 76, Jerry Brown, an able leader, is probably past his sell-by date for a presidential bid. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has made very few moves to raise his national profile. And Democratic governors are very thin on the ground in the heartland. Any time you have Republicans winning the gubernatorial races in Massachusetts, Illinois and Maryland, Democrats should pay attention. As has been the case with other presidents, for Obama party-building has not been on top of the agenda. But it shows. And so when Hillary Clinton runs into some trouble, the Democrats ought to worry. The Republicans have a deep and varied field; the Democrats have one real horse in the race no matter how much she", "summary": "Gloria Borger: Democratic Party has no real alternative for 2016 and its bench is painfully thin .

+{"article": "(CNN)Its famous Yellow Wall -- the largest free-standing grandstand in Europe, with a capacity of 25,000 -- has helped enable German football club Borussia Dortmund achieve the rare feat of transcending the relationship between a club and its fans. So special is this club that 3,000 of its own supporters dipped into their pockets as part of a crowdfunding exercise, started in 2013, to help finance a new documentary based on one of Dortmund's founding fathers. These Dortmund fans, along with sponsors, raised \u20ac250,000 ($265,000) in the process -- the biggest sum at the time ever raised for a film through crowdfunding in Germany. \"This fan-club relationship is a legacy from our fathers, who made it clear that we have to engage and we have to fight for our club. It's part of our story,\" Marc Mauricius Quambusch, one of the film's three creators, told CNN. One of those fathers, and seen as the most important, was Franz Jacobi, who in 1909 along with 17 others helped found the club -- and it is \"Am Borsigplatz geboren: Franz Jacobi und die Wiege des BVB\" (\"Born at the Borsigsquare: Franz Jacobi and the cradle of BVB\") that tells his story. Founding fathers . Mention Dortmund and images are conjured up of back-to-back German Bundesliga title wins in 2011 and 2012, the Champions League triumph of 1997 or how it became the first German side to win a European competition with the Cup Winners' Cup in 1966. Without 21-year-old Jacobi and his disciples, however, none of that success may have ever materialized. For it was those brave 18 that gathered inside a pub called Wildschutz just off Dortmund's Borsigplatz, with the aim of establishing their own football club in response to the Catholic Holy Trinity chaplain Hubert Dewald's refusal to allow his youth group members the chance to kick a ball around. Jacobi and co. managed to resist Dewald's overtures and so \"Ball Spiel Verein Borussia\" (\"Ball Games Club Borussia\") was born. \"When we started making the film I was aware of our story but not so deeply,\" Dortmund fan Quambusch says of a film inspired by a similar crowdfunding project dreamed up by Fortuna Dusseldorf supporters in 2012. \"It's so interesting -- one so deep and with so much drama.\" \"It's also a love story, it has everything you need,\" Quambusch adds, referring to Jacobi having originally dragged his friends to the city as he was in love with the pub owner's daughter, who he would later go on to marry. \"If you were to try to write something, it would be exactly the same story as this.\" A legacy . Jacobi's DNA today still runs through the club that he helped to establish. Dortmund president from 1910 to 1923, Jacobi laid the foundations of a club which prides itself on harboring a real sense of involvement and belonging for its supporters. Permitted to stay at home in Germany during World War I as he was the oldest son of the family and his father had died, Jacobi wrote postcards to those club", "summary": "New film about one of Borussia Dortmund's founders, Franz Jacobi, set for release .

+{"article": "(CNN)Chinese relic experts claim that a 1,000-year-old mummified monk encased in a Buddha statue was stolen from a village temple in Eastern China in 1995, state media reported. The mummy made international headlines last year when it first showcased at Drents Museum in the Netherlands. The Cultural Relic Bureau in Fujian province launched an investigation and found photos and historical records suggesting the statue belonged to a village temple where it was worshiped as an ancestor. The bureau will continue the investigation and report to national cultural authorities to seek repatriation in compliance with normal procedures, a spokesperson told the state-run Xinhua news agency on Sunday. The statue, currently in possession of a Dutch private collector, was being housed at the Hungarian Natural History Museum as a part of a European tour. The museum announced on their website that the mummy, originally scheduled to be on display until May, has been pulled from the exhibition at \"the request of the loaning partner\" -- the Drents Museum. It's unclear exactly when or how the statue made its way to a market in the Netherlands where a private buyer bought it in 1996. Drents Museum said the owner, who prefers to remain anonymous, had bought it legally. The mummy was discovered when the owner brought it to an expert for restoration. But it wasn't until a team of researchers and scientists did a CT scan -- a comprehensive three dimensional X-ray image -- last year, did they discover the mummy's organs were missing. \"We thought it would be lung tissue, but instead we found little scraps of paper covered with Chinese characters,\" said Vincent van Vilsteren, an archaeology curator from Drents Museum. The mummy was found sitting on a bundle of cloth covered in Chinese inscriptions, revealing its identity as a Buddhist monk called Liuquan who may have practiced \"self-mummification\" to prepare for life after death. The process of self-mummification is a known tradition in countries like Japan, China and Thailand, and was practiced more than a thousand years ago. The elaborate and arduous process includes eating a special diet and drinking a poisonous tea so the body would be too toxic to be eaten by maggots. The few monks that were able to successfully complete the process were highly revered. \"We suspect that for the first 200 years, the mummy was exposed and worshiped in a Buddhist temple in China ... only in the 14th century did they do all the work to transform it into a nice statue,\" said van Vilsteren. Researchers are still waiting on DNA analysis results to help trace the mummy back to its exact location in China.", "summary": "Chinese relic experts claim that a mummified monk encased in a statue was stolen .

+{"article": "(CNN)Marvel is going back to war. The massively popular superhero entertainment factory has the third \"Captain America\" movie on the way, \"Civil War,\" which will include Iron Man and quite possibly, the new Spider-Man. It's based on a story arc from almost a decade ago, which tackled issues of freedom versus security, with the two heroes going toe to toe against one another. This summer, Marvel plans to revisit that storyline as part of the much larger return of \"Secret Wars,\" its biggest crossover event of the 1980s. The effects of this will be huge to the comics, ending 33 of the company's titles. CNN spoke to writer Charles Soule, who has gained acclaim for his work on \"Superman/Wonder Woman,\" \"Swamp Thing,\" The Death of Wolverine,\" \"She-Hulk\" and more. He gave us the scoop on the return of \"Civil War,\" one year before it hits the big screen. CNN: What can fans expect from your \"Civil War\" storyline? Soule: \"Secret Wars\" is an opportunity to revisit some of the great Marvel stories of the past. One of those is \"Civil War,\" and I got the call to work on that. \"Civil War\" happened in 2006 and 2007, and in that story Captain America and Iron Man went after each other based on an ideological difference on superheroes in the world. What I'm doing is taking that story in a different direction. CNN: Will this be a way for those who are interested in the upcoming movie to dive into that story? Soule: Absolutely. If you look at the ideas that that story had, Iron Man thought superheroes should have to register with the government, and become something of a police force. Captain America thought that that was restricting the central freedoms of this country. It was a debate of security versus freedom. We're taking that basic idea and expanding it to a larger canvas. The Registration Act is all in the past at this point. It's more of a world drastically changed based on a superhero war, and it's a huge story and it's fun to be able to involve every Marvel character there is. CNN: Is this one of the biggest stories you've worked on? Soule: I've been on big books but this one feels huge. It affects every character in one way or another, and it deals with some central issues to the modern world. That's not always something you get to do in a Marvel story. CNN: So this will have many twists and turns away from the original story? Soule: The idea is to take some of the events in the original storyline and spin them off into entirely new stories. Without spoiling, this deals with a world that has been ravaged for quite some time when we pick up the story. I felt the original \"Civil War\" explored those questions very well.

+{"article": "(CNN)Thirty years ago, a journey across Europe meant a passport full of stamps, a wallet full of different currencies and plenty of time spent waiting in line to be glared at by border officials. That all began to change in June 1985, when the continent's countries began signing up to the Schengen agreement -- a deal that lifted frontier controls between cooperating neighbors. Today, 20 years after it came into force, with more than 26 states now participating, Schengen has completely altered the experience of traversing Europe. Nowhere is this more visible than at the old crossing points -- places that were once hives of activity but are now ghostly, vacated shells of their former selves. Not entirely forgotten though. Spanish photographer Ignacio Evangelista spent several years criss-crossing the continent to capture these abandoned checkpoints on camera for a project he calls \"After Schengen.\" The result is a fascinating gallery of images that charts the unusual architecture of places whose fate has been intertwined with Europe's ever-evolving political and economic allegiances. \"I don't know why but from many years ago, I feel very attracted to situations or places where the natural and the artificial come together, sometimes a little bit in conflict,\" Evangelista tells CNN, explaining his interest in frontiers. He says he spent his formative years poring over the World Atlas, marveling at the straight-line borders carved by colonialists across the map of Africa and wondering why Europeans couldn't iron the kinks out of their own squiggled frontiers. \"When you are a young child in front of a map you feel ... you have the whole world in front of you and you can travel with your mind of course, with your imagination,\" he says. As a young adult in the early 1990s, Evangelista experienced many of these borders firsthand when he embarked on an Interailing trip -- a country-hopping rite of passage that sees many young Europeans take advantage of cheap pan-continental train tickets. \"Before, when I was young, if you traveled from Spain to Germany you had to cross three countries and take three currencies,\" he recalls. \"Once I was traveling with my friend, Interailing ... from Italy to Greece, we had to cross the old Yugoslavia. \"I think into the night, 2 or 3 a.m., we cross the border from Italy into Yugoslavia and the train stopped. We were sleeping, of course. Then three or four soldiers come into the train and shouted at everybody, very aggressively, like in a spy movie. \"We waited half an hour, then half an hour later the train went on. It was exciting, even funny as I was 18 years old, but now it's not so funny.\" As Evangelista points out, in a Europe cleaved by the Cold War, many borders were not just the cultural dividing lines they are today. Back then they were fortifications demarcating places of oppression and freedom. The checkpoints themselves were sometimes places of fear, of hostile bureaucracy -- a past Evangelista says lingers on in the buildings left behind. \"For me it's fascinating because you can", "summary": "Spanish photographer Ignacio Evangelista's \"After Schengen\" project captures images of abandoned European checkpoints .

+{"article": "(CNN)For a generation of moviegoers in the early 1990s, \"Pretty Woman\" was a cultural touchstone. The breezy comedy had all the key elements of romantic fantasy: a plucky, down-on-her-luck heroine, a rich, dashing prince and a Cinderella love story with a fairy-tale ending. Most of all it had a lesser-known actress named Julia Roberts, whose radiant smile and coltish charm lit up the screen. The movie, which celebrates its 25th anniversary on Monday, grossed $463 million worldwide and made her the biggest female star in Hollywood. But how does it stand up today? Not everyone is a fan. Some critics complain the Garry Marshall film, whose female lead is an unrefined prostitute rescued from the streets by Richard Gere's elegant millionaire, degrades women and glorifies materialism. Here are some of the leading pro-and-con arguments about the movie. First, the cons: . It whitewashes the realities of prostitution . The movie glosses over the less-than-glamorous motivations that can lead women into sex work, says Katie Hail-Jares, a board member of the Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP USA). Most sex workers that Hail-Jares encounters through street-based outreach are not in it for a lark, or because they lack the drive to succeed, she says. They do it out of economic necessity after encountering roadblocks to traditional employment such as lack of education, a criminal record or sexual discrimination, she said. On one hand Roberts' character, Vivian, is a compelling protagonist who dispels the stereotype of the drug-addicted \"crack whore\" with little ambition, Hail-Jares said. On the other hand, the movie implies that by virtue of her beauty, drive and apparent drug-free lifestyle, Roberts is the exceptional sex worker who -- unlike her pal Kit, for example -- deserves a better life. \"What's problematic is how it portrays sex work at large, like she's the only one worth saving,\" said Hail-Jares, a Ph.D. candidate in criminology at American University. \"You get the sense that she's not the norm, and that allows us to get invested in her while not necessarily worrying about the welfare of other women who fall into the (sex worker) stereotype.\" Vivian's exit from sex work thanks to Gere's character is also troubling, she says. \"In the movie she's able to fill economic void with Edward's money but in reality that doesn't happen,\" she says. It's demeaning to women . Like \"My Fair Lady,\" the movie is another reimagining of \"Pygmalion,\" the George Bernard Shaw play about a crass, impoverished girl given a redemptive makeover by a sophisticated male mentor. Daryl Hannah was one of numerous well-known actresses who turned down the part, saying it was \"degrading for the whole of womankind.\" The Vivian character is clearly intelligent, and values love over money. But she also has no apparent career goals beyond becoming the kept woman of a wealthy businessman. \"'Pretty Woman' may be a fantasy but it's a deeply sexist, consumerist fantasy,\" wrote Rachael Johnson last year for Bitch Flicks, a feminist movie site. \"Admire Julia and Richard's beauty, and sing along to Orbison or Roxette, but never forget that it", "summary": "\"Pretty Woman,\" the Julia Roberts-Richard Gere romantic comedy, was released March 23, 1990 .

Jurors have yet to hear from the former NFL star's fianc\u00e9e, Shayanna Jenkins, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick or owner Robert Kraft. But this week did bring emotional testimony and important developments in the case against Hernandez, who has pleaded not guilty to killing Odin Lloyd in 2013. Check out some of the key moments you might have missed this week. A DNA analyst from the Massachusetts State Police crime lab said she found that Hernandez's DNA matched the DNA taken from a marijuana joint found near Lloyd's body at the crime scene. Lloyd's DNA also was found on the blunt. The DNA analyst, Diane Biagiotti, testified to finding a partial DNA match from Hernandez on the shell casing found in the dumpster of the Enterprise rental car office. But under cross-examination, lead defense attorney Jamie Sultan got Biagiotti to acknowledge there's a high likelihood that DNA from chewing gum could have transferred to the shell casing found in the dumpster. The office manager at the rental car office, Keelia Smyth, testified that she put the shell casing and the gum together after finding the items in the Nissan Altima returned by Hernandez on June 17, 2013. She said she threw them in the trash bin outside of her office. Inside Hernandez's downward spiral . It was revealed by Sultan that the state never submitted the gum for DNA testing. The state has not yet explained why. We may hear the answer during the state's redirect of Biagiotti on Monday. Hernandez is seen on surveillance video buying gum, and he also offered some to Smyth. Biagiotti said under cross-examination that it's highly unlikely to find DNA on any shell casing. One reason is because the heat from the gun wipes away any DNA, she said. The shell casings found at the crime scene did not have enough DNA on them to produce a DNA profile. Hernandez's family was in court on Friday after a week's absence. Hernandez's mother, Terri Hernandez, told CNN' that she thought Friday \"went very well\" for him. Testimony this week also focused on fingerprints from Hernandez and Lloyd that were found inside the rented Nissan Altima. The car also had fingerprints of Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, who are also charged with killing Lloyd. They have pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately. State Trooper David Mackin, a fingerprint expert with the Massachusetts State Police crime scene services, reported finding the fingerprints of Wallace and Ortiz in a Chrysler 300 that Hernandez rented. Prosecutors call it the \"getaway car,\" which was ultimately found abandoned in Bristol, Connecticut. But no prints were found on the .22-caliber gun recovered on the edge of a wooded area near Hernandez's home. Hernandez is charged with illegal possession of that gun. In addition, no prints were found on any of the shell casings, including the casing found stuck to the blue bubblegum in the dumpster outside the Enterprise office.

In that speech Clinton said, \"If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all.\" On March 9, Clinton teams up with Chelsea, her daughter, and Melinda Gates to release a report through the Clinton Foundation that looks at \"the gaps that still remain\" in women's participation in the economy and politics. The following day -- on March 10 -- Clinton will headline the United Nation's Women Empowerment Principles annual gathering in New York. Clinton will use the speech to outline the findings in the Clinton Foundation report and \"reflect on progress made in implementing the agenda set in Beijing two decades ago,\" the organizers said in a release about the event. On March 16, Clinton will be inducted into the Irish America Hall of Fame at an event in New York.

+{"article": "(CNN)Brazilian police worked for five months to track down a fugitive American pastor accused of dozens of sexual assaults in Minnesota. Victor Arden Barnard, 53, was arrested Friday at a home in a gated community, said the Public Security Secretariat of Rio Grande do Norte state. A 33-year-old woman was detained, police said. Both were transported to a federal jail in Lagoa Nova in Natal, awaiting extradition to the United States, authorities said. Barnard is suspected of 59 counts of sexual assault in Minnesota. He is accused of sexually abusing two young girls who were members of his church, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The last U.S. sighting of Barnard was last year in Raymond, Washington. The fugitive was featured on CNN's \"The Hunt With John Walsh\" last year and again last week. Barnard was featured on the U.S. Marshal's 15 Most Wanted List along with a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. In addition to the sexual assault allegations, he was also wanted for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. As a pastor, Barnard inspired his congregants with his charisma and apparent devotion to the teachings of Jesus Christ. \"I had never met anybody that I thought loved the word of God as much as Victor Barnard did,\" said Ruth Johnson, a former member of Barnard's River Road Fellowship. Barnard set up a so-called \"shepherd's camp\" in the mid-1990s in Pine County. Several congregants moved to the rural area about 100 miles north of Minneapolis to be a part of the camp. In June 2000, the pastor allegedly convinced some members of his congregation to hand over their firstborn daughters to live with him in a secluded campsite. Lindsay Tornambe's name was called, and her parents allowed their 13-year-old daughter to join the group of girls at the camp, called \"The Maidens,\" under Barnard's supervision. She and other congregants said the girls got up early, sewed, cooked and cleaned. \"Everything that a wife would do, they did for him,\" Johnson said. Barnard proclaimed he was Christ on Earth. \"He taught that in the Bible, the church was the bride of Christ and because he was Christ in the flesh, the church was supposed to be married to him,\" Tornambe said. \"At that time, I didn't really understand the fullness of what it meant.\" The complaint filed in Minnesota says Tornambe alleges she was sexually abused by Barnard from the ages of 13 to 22 while she and her parents were members of River Road Fellowship. She told investigators the group of 10 young girls and women were known as Alamoths, or maidens. Her group was sent to what she thought was a summer camp, the document says. Tornambe told investigators Barnard sexually assaulted her one to three times a month until she left in 2010 to be with her parents, who had moved to Pennsylvania. In fall 2011, Tornambe was contacted by another former maiden who shared a similar story: She said she was molested by Barnard from the time she was 12 until she was 20, although she said", "summary": "Victor Barnard is accused of 59 counts of sexual assault on two young girls .

There's nothing like a signature hire to quiet those who think you might blink and skip the fight. At issue is Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who remains a single-digit blip in Republican polls. So weak have his early poll showings been that many GOPers to this day say they would not be shocked if he decided not to move from exploratory candidate to official candidate. But a new hire sends a signal. Veteran South Carolina GOP strategist J. Warren Tompkins is signing on to run a pro-Rubio super PAC.

But are these high-level changes enough to satisfy all residents? Absolutely not, they say. Protesters amassed in front of the Ferguson Police Department on Wednesday night, demanding the entire force be disbanded and calling for Mayor James Knowles to step down. \"Racist cops have got to go,\" some chanted. \"The people, united, will never be defeated,\" others said. Amid the protests, two officers were shot -- one in the face, the other in the shoulder. They were hospitalized in serious condition, and it's not clear who the shooter was. So what will it take to calm Ferguson? DeRay McKesson told CNN that protesters want the entire police department dissolved. McKesson was part of a group that appeared to be the largest crowd since November when a grand jury decided not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for shooting Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. The killing was the spark that started a national wildfire of dialogue about police brutality. Many have decried rampant racism within the Ferguson Police Department. And a scathing 102-page Justice Department report backed up some of their claims -- citing widespread and systemic discrimination against blacks, including targeting them disproportionately for tickets. On Wednesday, Police Chief Thomas Jackson announced he's stepping down, effective March 19. He'll still get one year's worth of pay and insurance. CNN legal analyst Mark O'Mara said the entire department needs to be gutted. \"The Department of Justice report revealing unquestionable racist bias that permeated the entire department cannot be ignored, and the problems it reveals cannot be fixed from the inside,\" O'Mara wrote. \"If there are a few good cops in the Ferguson Police Department, they need to leave, and they need to go elsewhere to continue their proud law enforcement career without being overshadowed by their involvement in a poisoned organization.\" But city officials believe the police department can be reformed without being eliminated, the mayor told reporters. \"We continue to go through that report and talk about where the breakdown was,\" Knowles said. \"The city of Ferguson looks to become an example of how a community can move forward in the face of adversity,\" he added. \"We are committed to keeping our police department and having one that exhibits the highest degree of professionalism and fairness.\" Even if protesters get their wishes -- the resignation of Knowles and the disbanding of the police department -- they still won't get what they originally wanted: charges against Wilson. A local grand jury decided not to indict Wilson in November for the shooting death of Brown, who died August 9. The Justice Department launched its own investigation to see if there were any federal civil rights violations. \"There is no evidence upon which prosecutors can rely to disprove Wilson's stated subjective belief that he feared for his safety\" when he shot Brown, the Justice Department report said.

The email, sent by Robin Paul, \"in no way reflects the attitudes of our staff toward our patients,\" Roudebush VA Medical Center Director Tom Mattice said in a statement posted on the hospital's Facebook page. Paul, a licensed clinical social worker, had been managing the Seamless Transition Integrated Care Clinic, which is responsible for assisting new veterans with their VA benefits, services and programs, to include mental health, according to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Her email, first published by the Indy Star this week, was sent December 18 to members of her team and shows four photos of an elf in different scenarios. Two of the photos have struck a nerve with the veterans and mental illness communities. In one photograph, the elf appears leaning over what looks like a straw and coffee grounds on a paper plate, with a post-it note that says, \"Out of XANAX - Please help!\" The caption reads, \"Self-medicating for mental health issues when a CNS would not give him his requested script.\" In another, the elf is hanging from a string of Christmas lights. \"Caught in the act of suicidal behavior (trying to hang himself from an electrical cord),\" the caption says. John Thomas is a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Wars and serves as a leader at an Indianapolis American Legion post. He said the email makes him sick and angry. \"I can't understand anybody who would do anything like this to us,\" Thomas told CNN affiliate WISH. Hospital leadership was allegedly made aware of the email a couple of months ago, according to the Indy Star, and had \"administratively addressed\" the incident with Paul. But since the story went viral, the Roudebush VA Facebook page has been inundated with commenters calling for Paul to be fired. Matthew Conrad on Facebook said, \"Robin Paul's continued employment is an insult to every Veteran who has served this country.\" Mattice announced Paul's leave, and a pending investigation, Tuesday evening. But many say it's not enough. \"FIRING her would be the first step in showing you are truly committed to the veterans' health and well-being. Action speaks louder than words,\" Elizabeth Sanchez wrote on Facebook. Two of the country's largest veterans organizations have also criticized Paul's actions. \"It is absolutely inexcusable that a VA supervisor would make light of any issue that veterans face,\" VFW National Commander John W. Stroud said in a statement. \"The VFW demands she be replaced as program manager.\" The American Legion also expressed their discontent, saying they take \"health care for veterans very seriously.\" \"Veterans suffering from TBI and PTSD should not be held up to ridicule,\" their statement read.

The low-cost carrier just acquired its 69th plane and is celebrating with $69 round-trip fares in April and May that include taxes and fees -- although additional baggage charges may apply. Round-trip purchase is not required, so you could actually pay $34.50 for a one-way flight.

Spirit spokesman Paul Berry, in a prepared statement, said the promotion reflects the airline's quirky culture. \"Spirit isn't your typical airline and we don't want to be. We enjoy being different than other airlines,\" said Berry, Spirit's director of corporate communications. \"When it comes to advertising, different means we don't spend a lot of money on advertising -- because that just increases fares.

Take combustible issues like religion and sexuality, stir in a new law and talk of a boycott, then -- boom! -- the debate on social media explodes. And so it has proved with Indiana's new \"religious freedom\" law, signed Thursday by Gov. Mike Pence. The new law could allow businesses to turn away gay and lesbian customers if serving them would contravene the business owner's religious beliefs. Supporters of the bill say it protects their right to believe as they choose. Opponents say it is nothing but bigotry dressed up as liberty. The debate is nothing if not vitriolic. And colorful, too. \"Libs SHUTUP,\" reads one tweet, which goes on to assert that Indiana's \"Relgious Freedom Restauration Act (sic)\" is modeled on federal legislation signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. People on the other side of the debate are equally emphatic -- and, it seems for the moment, more numerous. Some have likened the new law to permitting businesses to discriminate against black people, if perchance their religion dictated that. Others say that Indiana seems out of step with modern times. And then there is the business reaction -- both the nascent boycott from outside the state and the rush by some businesses inside the state to declare that, law or no law, they have no intention of turning anyone away. \"My team just canceled travel to IN due to the #ReligiousFreedomRestorationAct,\" tweeted a user under the name Mark C Somerville, who says he works for @salesforce. \"We stand against discrimination.\" And a tweet from a the St. Elmo Steak House, a business in Indianapolis, the state's capital and its largest city, pledged in capital letters to continue serving ALL.

+{"article": "Baghdad, Iraq (CNN)Joint Iraqi forces now have control of Tikrit Military Hospital as they continue their offensive to liberate the city from ISIS. The joint forces raised the Iraqi flag from the hospital premises Wednesday as they continued their offensive into the city from four sides, the Hashd Al-Shaabi paramilitary force said. The predominantly Shia militia has been working with Iraqi troops as well as Sunni fighters to try to regain Tikrit from ISIS. The hospital is a few blocks south of the presidential palace. Tikrit, best known to Westerners as the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, fell in June to ISIS, which has captured large areas of Iraq and Syria for what it says is its Islamic caliphate. On March 1, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered Iraqi forces to retake Tikrit and Salahuddin province. ISIS wasn't making it easy, however. The Sunni extremist group blew up a key bridge near Tikrit, preventing the joint Iraqi forces from using it to cross the Tigris River to approach the city from the east. Nevertheless, forces have made progress, forcing ISIS fighters to retreat toward the city center from frontline positions, Hashd Al-Shaabi's media office said. There have been several failed attempts to recapture Tikrit since the second half of 2014. If Iraq regains control of the city, it could mean that retaking Mosul -- a city 10 times bigger -- is possible. The Tikrit offensive involves around 30,000 fighters. Also assisting is Iran, which has provided advisers, weapons and ammunition to the Iraqi government. According to the Pentagon, Iranians may be operating heavy artillery and rocket launchers as well. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday that the consensus was that Iran's involvement was positive in military terms. \"Anything anyone does to counter ISIS is in the main a good outcome,\" he said. But at the same time, Dempsey said, the United States is concerned about what role Iran might seek in the longer term once ISIS is defeated. While Iraqi forces piled the pressure on ISIS in Tikrit, the Sunni extremist group continued to flex its muscles in Iraq's western Anbar province. ISIS launched a new offensive on the city of Ramadi, west of Baghdad, on Wednesday morning, Faleh al-Issawi, the deputy head of the Anbar Provincial Council, said in a statement. The city is being attacked \"from all directions,\" with ISIS firing more than 150 mortar rounds and rockets toward it, he said. Some 17 explosives-laden vehicles have been detonated at various security checkpoints and in the city center, he said. One vehicle targeted a bridge that provides access to the city from the north. This is \"the fiercest attack by ISIS\" seen on Ramadi, al-Issawi said. Iraqi forces have imposed a curfew on the city.

+{"article": "(CNN)FIFA president Sepp Blatter has told Iran to end its \"intolerable\" ban on women attending football matches. Writing in the FIFA Weekly magazine published by world football's governing body, Blatter described the situation as one that \"cannot continue.\" Iran's ban was put in the spotlight at the Asian Cup in Australia earlier this year, when thousands of female Iranian fans watched their team without restriction. At the match against Iraq, activists unfurled a banner showing the face of Ghoncheh Ghavami, a British-Iranian woman jailed for trying to watch a volleyball match against Brazil in 2014, and called for the ban to end. The measure was imposed following the 1979 Islamic Revolution because the idea of mixed crowds was deemed un-Islamic. Iran is in the running to host the 2019 edition of the Asian tournament, for which the United Arab Emirates is also bidding. But the ban is widely expected to scupper its chances of securing the event. Blatter wrote: \"I raised the topic at my meeting with the President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, and came away with the impression that this intolerable situation could change over the medium term. \"However, nothing has happened. A collective stadium ban still applies to women in Iran, despite the existence of a thriving women's football organization. \"This cannot continue. Hence my appeal to the Iranian authorities -- open the nation's football stadiums to women.\" During last year's football World Cup, CNN reported how fans in Iran gathered to watch games in venues that defied a ban on public screenings. At one coffee shop in the capital, Tehran, the tense game against Argentina -- a game Iran lost only to an injury-time Lionel Messi goal -- was watched by a large mixed crowd. \"100 percent it's better this way,\" said Negar Valayi. \"It doesn't happen often. It would be great if we have more of this.\" \"It's actually much better to watch it with a bunch of people around because it makes you feel more excited,\" said Roya Marzbahan. Hoardings advertising the World Cup throughout Tehran that summer had featured no pictures of women. And state TV broadcasts of matches employed a delay of several seconds in order for images of female fans deemed too racy to be censored. Blatter also hit out at football's continental confederations for failing to elect any women onto governing body's executive committee. The committee includes three women -- one of whom has voting rights and two of whom are co-opted -- but they are elected directly by the FIFA congress following a change to the statutes in 2011. \"This was hard work because the members of FIFA's executive committee are elected by the national associations... and there was never, never a proposal for a woman to be finally in FIFA,\" the 78-year-old said at an event in Switzerland. \"We had to take the decision, and I did it in 2011 at the end of the congress, [that] we must have at least one woman on the executive committee.\" He described football as a \"macho\" sport and warned: \"We should change in", "summary": "FIFA president writes about issue in FIFA Weekly magazine .

The grocery store, Monoprix, was doing some renovations in January and workers removing an underground wall discovered the bones. The area was apparently part of a cemetery for the Hospital of the Trinity, according to CNN affiliate, France's BFM-TV. The cemetery operated from the 12th century to around the 17th century. Researchers and archeologists are conducting carbon dating and DNA testing to try to figure out when and why the people died, the affiliate said. It's clear they all died around the same time, lead archeologist Isabelle Abadie told BFM-TV, because of the way the bodies were neatly arranged. \"What's surprising is the bodies were not thrown in (the graves) but were carefully placed there in an organized manner. The individuals, men, women, and children, were placed head-to-toe,\" to fit as many as possible in the grave, Abadie explained. Paris suffered several plague epidemics during the times that the hospital was in operation, as well as a smallpox outbreak in the 17th century. Archeologists working the site have found eight common graves in an area that is 100 square meters, with seven of the graves containing between five and 20 skeletons each and another site with more than 150 skeletons, BFM-TV said. The groupings suggest that whole families were buried together. Abadie told BFM-TV that when the cemetery was shut down centuries ago, most of the remains were moved to the Catacombs of Paris. \"But apparently the job was not done well,\" she said.

Difficult issues remain on the table as the world's most powerful diplomats meet in Switzerland with Iranian nuclear negotiators, Kerry told CNN on Monday. \"We are working very hard to work those through. We are working late into the night and obviously into tomorrow. We are working with a view to get something done,\" he said. \"There is a little more light there today, but \u200bthere are still some tricky issues. Everyone knows the meaning of tomorrow.\" Negotiators have set Tuesday as their deadline for a basic deal. A comprehensive deal, including technical additions, is supposed to be negotiated by June 30. World powers are seeking the outlines of an agreement they say would stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon for at least 15 years. In exchange, Iran would get out from punishing sanctions that have crippled its economy. Kerry's comments to CNN came after uncomfortable rumblings about the talks in Lausanne, Switzerland, made headlines. The assertion: Iran backpedaled the day before on an important detail of a possible deal to prevent it from developing a nuclear bomb. On Sunday, an Iranian negotiator told journalists that Tehran would not send fissile material to Russia, which diplomats had earlier told journalists was part of the plan to put potential bomb-making materials out of reach. \"The export of stocks of enriched uranium is not in our program, and we do not intend to send them abroad. ... There is no question of sending the stocks abroad,\" Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said. But on Monday, a senior U.S. State Department official said the rumblings in the press should quiet down. Negotiators had not yet decided any specifics about the disposal of fissile material, and Iran has made the comments many times before, the official said, citing a list of previous examples of such statements in press reports. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi sounded optimistic as he briefed reporters on the talks' progress earlier Monday, saying that the diplomats were \"narrowing down\" their differences and working out ways to resolve sticking points. \"These marathon-like negotiations have reached the final stage,\" he said. Things have been tense in Lausanne as the deadline for an agreement looms, with talks snagged on three important points: . \u2022 How quickly or slowly Iran will be allowed to advance its nuclear technology in the last five years of the 15-year agreement. \u2022 How quickly crushing U.N. sanctions will go away. \u2022 Whether sanctions will snap back into place if Iran violates the deal. Iran wants them gone for good. But international negotiators want merely to suspend them, so they can reapply them as leverage if Iran does not keep the bargain. Agreement on the points is crucial, a Western diplomat said. \"There cannot be an agreement if we do not have answers to these questions,\" the diplomat said.

Preliminary information indicates the explosion at Zasyadko mine was caused by methane gas, according to DAN, the official news agency for the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). \"This did not happen because of shelling,\" an emergency services official told the news agency. The explosion occurred just before 6 a.m. local time, when 230 people were at the mine, the official website for separatist-controlled Donetsk city said. Of those, 157 were evacuated in the initial hours after the blast, including 14 injured and one dead, according to the website. Fifteen rescue teams are working at the scene, it said. Zasyadko mine is one of the most dangerous in terms of methane in Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform, which reported that 240 people had died at the mine since 1999 -- 101 miners were killed in a single accident in 2007. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, speaking at a Cabinet meeting, accused the pro-Russian separatists who control the area of denying Ukrainian rescue teams access to the site, Ukrinform reported. He urged Russia to tell the separatists to allow in the rescue workers. \"You took millions of Ukrainians in Donetsk and Luhansk hostage and are now brutalizing miners' families by not letting in help,\" Ukrinform quoted him as saying. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko also called for rescuers to be allowed in. \"I demand Ukrainian rescue workers and investigators to be granted access at the site of the tragedy,\" he tweeted. However, DPR representative Denis Pushilin said Ukraine had not offered help with the rescue, and the DPR will ask Russia or separatist authorities in Luhansk for help if needed, according to the separatists' news agency. Separatist leader Aleksandr Zakharchenko issued an order to close the mine a month ago, but managers ignored the order because the mine legally belongs to Ukraine, Ukrinform cited the separatist news agency as saying.

The blasts occurred in Maiduguri, the capital of the tumultuous Borno state, at the city's main market, a fish market and a bus station. Four suicide bombers -- three women and a man -- carried out the attacks, according to witnesses. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bloodshed. But the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram has been behind many similar attacks in northern Nigeria and beyond, killing hundreds in recent months as part of its terrorist campaign to bring its twisted version of Sharia law to the region. Clement Adoda, a Borno state police spokesman, said at least 54 people were killed and another 139 wounded in the suicide attacks. Suleiman Bulunkutu said he and others involved in the rescue operation had taken about 50 bodies to the Maiduguri General Hospital morgue. \"This toll doesn't include those taken to three other hospitals,\" Bulunkutu said. \"Therefore, the\u200e final (death) toll may be higher.\" In the first blast, a woman dressed in a hijab got off a motorized rickshaw and blew herself up outside the Baga Road fish market around 11:20 a.m. (5:20 a.m. ET), fish trader Mohammed Boni said. The next attack took place about an hour later outside Monday Market, the main one in the city, where people were lined up to go through security. Those measures -- in which people are checked for explosives and guns -- were set up because of the spate of Boko Haram attacks in the city and region. Two women joined the female security line, one of whom \"blew herself up, causing minimal casualty,\" said witness Abdulkarim Musa. Then, as people gathered to help, the second woman detonated her explosives, said Musa, who was waiting outside the market in the male security line. The third attack occurred at a bus station. \"He came in our midst near the bus station and pressed a remote device he was holding in his hand,\" a wounded survivor who requested anonymity for his personal safety said from Maiduguri General Hospital. Such attacks, sadly, are nothing new for Borno State, one of those hit hardest by Boko Haram and the Nigerian military's campaign to stop them.

Also known as Bethlem and the New Churchyard, more than 20,000 Londoners are believed to have been buried there. The ground was used by \"a varied cross-section of society throughout the years since the burial ground was open,\" Nick Elsden, project manager from MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) told CNN. And they include those who could not afford a church burial or chose to perish there for religious or political reasons. The ground also contained the overflow of bodies when other cemeteries became full. Bedlam, now a synonym for chaos, took its name from the Hospital of St Mary of Bethlehem in London which nursed the mentally ill. Among the deceased are victims of the English Civil War, the Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of London in the following year. The site was found at an entrance of the city's new Liverpool Street Crossrail station -- part of a \u00a314.8 billion ($22 billion) project that will expand London's railway network. A team of 60 archaeologists will work six days a week on the project, expected to finish in September this year. Hundreds of skeletons found under Paris supermarket . Elsden said the excavation reveals a great deal about how Londoners lived from the 16th to the 18th century. \"A large sample of the population from that period will enable us to look at the lifestyle, looking at Roman London and what the Romans were doing in the suburb area, outside the city walls.\" He said the skeletons will be cleaned and closely examined by experts who will assess their remains to determine their diseases, ages and sexes. \"Specialists will look at the DNA of the disease that killed the person rather than their own DNA,\" he added. Roman skulls unearthed deep beneath London . The findings are timely as well -- this year marks the 350th anniversary of the Great Plague in London. \"1665 was the very last recorded episode of plague. There were 400 years of regular plague, and suddenly it stops,\" Jay Carver, Crossrail's lead archaeologist, said. \"And what we want to be able to find out, from sampling the graves of that date, is why that is. And what it is about the bacteria that causes bubonic plague that suddenly changed at that point.\" Londoners also assisted in the research by helping to search parish records to identify people who were buried in Bedlam. \"And that was a huge exercise which couldn't have possibly been done by our own team,\" Carver said. Skeletons found holding hands after 700 years . The result is a database of more than 5,300 names and backgrounds of those buried at Bedlam, including political activists John Lilburne and Robert Lockyer -- part of a movement known as the Levellers --as well as Ambrose Nicholas, the Lord Mayor of London in 1575.

Ten Hoopen was at the camp to photograph a new medical clinic for Emergency, a humanitarian group from Italy. He also hoped to document what life was like for refugees there. His hopes were dashed, however, when he was told he couldn't photograph outside the hospital compound. \"I had very, very hard restrictions from the Sudanese government. ... They are very well-skilled in keeping the media at bay,\" ten Hoopen said. With no freedom of movement, much like the refugees themselves, ten Hoopen resorted to an old trick he had used before while traveling in Africa. With the help of refugee hospital workers, he built a makeshift photo studio using hospital bed sheets and other materials available. The studio quickly became a sensation. Once hospital employees volunteered to have their photo taken, lines of refugees began snaking around the hospital grounds waiting to have their portraits taken. One by one, these people sat solemnly to be photographed. It was their time to be acknowledged. There was gravity, earnestness to the way they posed. This was the moment their story would be registered. \"This was one of the reasons why I built the studio: to get more material and more narratives from the people,\" ten Hoopen said. The project quickly became a catalog of the history and identity of the refugees. The photos span several generations -- some of the subjects were born at the refugee camp, some have been there for decades. Women wearing the traditional Sudanese tobe spell out their class and origin by the way it is wrapped. From the Muslim north, women are fully covered -- a contrast to women from the Christian south, who we also see represented in these photos.

Boulder County District Attorney Stanley L. Garnett was unable to file a murder charge under state law, and he highlighted how the coroner found that the fetus didn't show any signs of life outside the womb, Garnett said. The victim, Michelle Wilkins, 26, who was seven months' pregnant, survived this month's attack, which occurred when she went to a Longmont home to buy baby clothes advertised for sale on Craigslist. \"Now, I understand that many in the community -- and heaven knows I've heard from a lot of them -- would like me to file homicide charges,\" Garnett told reporters. \"However, that is not possible under Colorado law without proof of live birth. A prosecutor cannot file murder charges when a baby who is killed has not lived outside the body of the mother. For similar reasons, I cannot bring charges of child abuse resulting in death,\" the district attorney said. The fetus' lungs never inflated, Garnett said. The fetus' exact cause of death, however, isn't immediately known and is expected to be revealed when the final autopsy report is released in six to eight weeks, he said. Wilkins and her partner, identified only as Dan, named the female fetus Aurora, the prosecutor said. Lane, 34, appeared briefly in a holding room during an initial court appearance Friday, but she didn't enter the courtroom. Her attorneys waived a formal reading of charges at the hearing, which occurred before the prosecutor's press conference. \"She could get a long sentence and very well could die in prison,\" the district attorney said about Lane, adding he couldn't immediately calculate the maximum number of years she faces if convicted of all counts. Lane was also charged with two counts of crime of violence, two counts of first-degree assault, and two counts of second-degree assault, Garnett said. Lane's next court date, a preliminary hearing, is May 5. She is being held on a $2 million bond. Earlier Friday, the Boulder County Coroner's Office said the fetus wasn't alive on its own after it was cut from Wilkins' womb. The female fetus didn't exhibit \"any signs of life outside of the womb, therefore the circumstance is not being considered a live birth,\" Coroner Emma R. Hall said in a statement. Friday's finding came a day after prosecutors indicated that Lane wouldn't face a murder charge in the March 18 assault. Wilkins was released from the hospital on Thursday, relatives said. The coroner's office performed an autopsy on the fetus and said Wilkins was 34 weeks pregnant. \"An autopsy has been completed,\" Hall said. \"At this time neither the autopsy or the investigation have provided any evidence that the baby exhibited any signs of life outside of the womb, therefore the circumstance is not being considered a live birth.

Proposition 1 funding, which enacted the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014, will funnel $272 million into safe drinking water efforts and maintenance of water recycling infrastructure. Some $660 million from Prop 1 will also be accelerated for flood protection in urban and rural areas.

Iran would have to deal with the resumption of sanctions, which they don't want,\" said Gary Samore, a top nonproliferation official during Obama's first term. For now, the grave consequences of a breakdown in talks are one reason the United States and Iran are still at the table, as a grueling diplomatic process reaches critical deadlines and painful political decisions beckon. Iran deal: A treaty or not a treaty, that is the question . Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif are haggling over the remaining issues in Lausanne, Switzerland, ahead of an end-of-the-month deadline for a framework agreement, which then must be finalized by July 1. But time may be running out for a deal in which six world powers would lift sanctions that have throttled Iran's economy in return for assurances that Tehran will continue to stay a year or so away from developing a nuclear bomb. The White House puts the chances of a deal at only 50-50: Disputes still rage over the scale of nuclear infrastructure Iran will be allowed to keep, the pace of sanctions relief and the extent of nuclear site inspections. Despite the controversy stoked last week in Washington when 47 GOP senators sent a letter to Iran's leaders warning that the future of a deal was not guaranteed, many analysts believe that the talks will go on, even if the end-of-March deadline slips. \"Not because all sides are desperate to keep talking.

Obama may now have slightly more political leeway on the talks than before -- ironically because of attempts by U.S. and Israeli critics to pen him in. A few weeks ago, skeptical Democrats appeared to be lining up with Republicans and approaching a veto-proof Senate majority that could have forced Obama to submit a deal to Congress or accept the passage of new sanctions. Either move could have killed the agreement. But the Republicans' letter and a fiercely critical speech to Congress by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the proposed deal prompted some skeptical Democrats to close ranks, at least temporarily.

Had I been labeled a moody \"b\" in the past, I certainly would have taken it as a major insult. But today, if someone called me that, I think I would say, \"Thank you for describing who I am and who we, women, are.

It's certainly our greatest psychological asset.\" After all, our empathetic nature helps us understand nonverbal babies -- and not-always-the-most-communicative husbands and partners. Our intuition helps us sense people's motivations. Our emotions help us realize when something is wrong in our lives. So, why on earth have all of those qualities come to be viewed as a source of weakness, not strength? And why is at least one in four American women taking some form of psychiatric medication, including antidepressants, versus one in seven men, according to Holland? Some of these women definitely should be taking antidepressants and other medications, but the question is why are so many other women taking them when they don't need to be? This is you on stress? Those were just some of the many questions a group of us chatted about over coffee recently: Holland, CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, Cosmopolitan executive editor Leslie Yazel and me. Yazel, a mom of a 4-year-old, wondered if people are afraid of being unhappy. \"I do think that people are afraid to be sad and they're afraid to be scared,\" Holland said. \"I think we spend a lot of time and energy pushing down emotions that are uncomfortable for us.

And with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) -- the 27km (17 mile) circumference particle accelerator that occupies a tunnel on the Franco-Swiss border -- now tricked out with new magnets, more powerful energy beams and a tighter vacuum, scientists are hoping to shine a light on some of the universe's more arcane phenomena. \"Higgs was the final piece of the jigsaw of what we call the Standard Model of particle physics,\" Dr Mike Lamont, operations group leader at the facility, told CNN. \"But we know that this model is not complete.\" \"One of the big things we know is out there -- but we don't yet understand -- is dark matter. \"There's a lot of astronomical observations to support the fact that this stuff exists, so this is one thing that we might hope shows up.\" Dark matter is currently a hypothesis. It is a type of matter that can't be seen but whose presence can be inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation and even the very structure of the universe. Physicists believe this unseen material makes up about 85 percent of all the matter in the universe. Regular matter, which we are made of along with all the stars, planets and other tangible cosmic material, accounts for just around 4 percent of the mass-energy of the known universe.

Particle physicists will no doubt be on the edge of their seats when the new souped-up collider is put through its paces this month, although it can take months for the data to be processed. \"There are a number of theories that give you dark matter candidates -- one of the favourites is supersymmetry,\" Lamont said, adding that the team got no sign of it at all in the facility's first three-year run. \"What the physicists are hoping is that with the step up in energy we will be able to explore a bit more of parameter space and that something dramatically new will show up. \"If it does, it's Nobel prizes all around; it really will be a major breakthrough. If it's not, then it's back to the drawing board.\" The increased energy of the new collider will be key to the new studies. The energy of collisions in the LHC in 2015 will be 13 TeV (teraelectron volt) compared with 8 TeV in 2012 during its last run. While the facility is a big industrial user of power -- about 180MW when it's running at full tilt -- it's not quite powerful enough to dim the lights or send the air-conditioning down in surrounding", "summary": "The LHC, a 27km (17 mile) particle accelerator, is ready to fire up again after a two-year upgrade .

+{"article": "Atlanta (CNN)As U.S. Air Force fighter jets and bombers carry out airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Air Force officials are waging a campaign of their own on Capitol Hill. The target: Sequestration cuts expected to take effect in 2016 that, officials say, will threaten U.S. air superiority. Air Force Secretary Deborah James told lawmakers last month that \"enough is enough\" when it comes to downsizing the Air Force, defending President Obama's $534 billion Pentagon base budget request to the defense appropriations subcommittee. \"Given the state of the world ... the No. 1 thing we have to stop is this downsizing,\" James said. Despite the concerns of defense officials, lawmakers insisted that $10 billion will need to be cut from the Air Force's portion of the President's proposed budget, which, in total, exceeds spending caps by nearly $35 billion. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Oklahoma, called the President's base budget \"a fantasy\" but expressed a desire to find a bipartisan compromise to provide some relief from spending caps instituted in 2013 after budget disagreements between President Obama and Congress. Until a compromise is reached, Cole said the committee will have to make \"a lot of tough decisions\" related to cutting billions from the Air Force's spending request. But will cuts actually threaten the United States' standing as the most modern and capable air fleet on the planet? Despite writing the blueprint on how to build the world's greatest air force, Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force's chief of staff, says the United States will not be able to maintain the Air Force's strategic gains once next year's sequestration cuts take effect. He says other nations are now using the U.S. model to build their own air fleets, a trend that could degrade the strategic advantage U.S. air superiority provides to the military. However, some experts say that downsizing the Air Force and even cutting its budget won't necessarily threaten U.S. air dominance. Jerry Hendrix, the director of the defense strategies and assessments program at the Center for a New American Security and a former Navy captain, says the United States is still comfortably ahead of every other nation in terms of overall air capabilities. Despite the fact that the U.S. Air Force has a quarter of the number of fighter squadrons it did 25 years ago, it is still larger than the air forces of the next seven countries combined, said Hendrix. It is also the only nation with an operational fifth-generation fighter jet. Air Force officials argue that the force is currently older and smaller than it has ever been and that further budget cuts would hinder its ability to modernize and maintain effective command structure. \"The option of not modernizing isn't really an option at all,\" Welsh said. \"Air forces that fall behind the technology curve and joint forces without the full breadth of air, space and cyber power ... will lose.\" The irony lies in that the Air Force's emphasis on investing in a fleet solely made up of high-end aircraft may be one of the key factors drawing down", "summary": "Secretary Deborah James said \"enough is enough\" when it comes to downsizing Air Force . $10 billion will need to be cut from the Air Force's portion of the President's proposed budget .

One civilian was killed and 82 others wounded when the rebels fired at local residents protesting their presence, the officials said. The rebels have also seized security and intelligence buildings in Taiz and set up checkpoints in the area, the officials said. Taiz, about 390 kilometers (240 miles) south of Sanaa, is Yemen's cultural capital. The rebels -- Shiite Muslims who have long felt marginalized in the majority Sunni country -- surrounded the presidential palace in January. Yemen's President and his Cabinet resigned days later. Ousted President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi says his resignation wasn't valid and maintains that he remains the country's leader. In a statement Sunday, the United Nations Security Council backed Hadi, calling for all sides to end armed hostilities and work out differences at the negotiating table. \"Peaceful dialogue is the only way forward,\" said Jamal Benomar, the U.N.'s special adviser on Yemen. But he gave a dire assessment of the current situation, saying the country is in a \"rapid downward spiral\" and at \"the edge of civil war.\" This isn't the first time the U.N. Security Council has weighed in on the mounting tensions. Last month the council slammed the rebels for taking over democratic institutions and holding officials under house arrest. But so far, it seems calls for calm from around the world have done little to quell the violence. Last week, a Yemeni jet commanded by the Houthi fired missiles at a palace housing Hadi in the port city of Aden. No one was injured, but the direct strike marked an escalation in the deadly fighting between the two sides. That same day, Yemeni military forces -- some under the Houthis, others led by officers loyal to Hadi -- battled in Aden, leaving at least 13 people dead in the clashes, Aden Gov. AbdulAziz Hobtour said. There are growing concerns that terror groups such as al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and ISIS could take advantage of the chaos to mount attacks and spread their reach. Bombings at two mosques in Sanaa last week killed at least 137 people and wounded hundreds more. ISIS claimed responsibility in a statement posted on a site that has published previous statements from the group.

+{"article": "(CNN)You're late for your flight, sweaty from having dragged your luggage to the check-in counter, and stressed about making it through security before boarding begins. For some of us, this is the rule, not the exception. For most of us, it's a pretty unremarkable scenario. Not so fast, says the Transportation Security Administration. Typical airport behavior like this could make you a suspicious traveler who should be subjected to questioning and additional screening -- and possibly referred to the police for investigation, detention or arrest. That should seem far-fetched, but it isn't. The TSA continues to use pseudo-scientific \"behavior detection\" techniques that have given rise to persistent allegations of racial and ethnic profiling at our nation's airports. Through a program called Screening Passengers by Observation Techniques, or SPOT, the TSA employs thousands of \"behavior detection officers\" who scrutinize travelers to look for signs of \"mal-intent\" in airport screening areas. The officers typically spend less than 30 seconds scanning an average passenger for over 90 behaviors the TSA associates with stress, fear or deception. When the officers perceive clusters of such behaviors in any given individual, they refer that person for secondary inspection and questioning. The SPOT program relies on theories about \"micro-expressions,\" involuntary facial expressions that supposedly appear for milliseconds despite one's efforts to conceal them. Behavior detection officers look for such micro-expressions while scanning passengers' faces or engaging in casual conversation with them. It's as nutty as it sounds. Setting aside that the officers' perception of these behaviors is inherently subjective, there's just no evidence that deception or \"mal-intent\" can reliably be detected through observation, especially in an unstructured setting like an airport screening area. The fact that many people find such settings inherently stressful only compounds the problem. If TSA's behavior detection officers look for stress in a stressful environment, they're going to find it, along with plenty of false positives. Just about everyone outside the TSA who has reviewed the SPOT program has decided that it's unscientific and a waste of money. An exhaustive review by the Government Accountability Office found the SPOT program lacked a scientific basis, that the behavioral indicators it relied on were subjective, and that the TSA had no effective means to test its effectiveness. In no uncertain terms, the GAO recommended that Congress curtail funding for the program. An independent scientific advisory group that reviewed the SPOT program also concluded that \"no scientific evidence exists to support the detection or inference of future behavior, including intent.\" And during a congressional hearing on the program, Republican Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina observed, \"To my knowledge, there has not been a single instance where a behavior detection officer has referred someone to a law enforcement officer and that individual turned out to be a terrorist.\" Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, stated, \"I am concerned that TSA will continue to spin its wheels with this program instead of developing a more effective and efficient approach.\" Despite this withering criticism, SPOT remains in place and has cost taxpayers", "summary": "TSA's SPOT program screens passengers for \"micro-expressions\" to determine if a person is suspicious .

+{"article": "New York (CNN)The house is primitive, constructed of baked mud and stone. The landscape is sparse and mountainous, with snow cover in the winter. The terrain is rugged and challenging for the long walks the owner liked to take with his sons. Photographs quietly introduced as evidence in the latest major terrorism trial in Manhattan federal court offer a rare look inside Osama bin Laden's lair -- years before al Qaeda flew hijacked planes into buildings or bombed U.S. embassies in Africa and even before the FBI placed bin Laden on its Most Wanted List. Still, bin Laden was preparing, hiding out in a remote, mountainous area of Afghanistan known as Tora Bora. A remarkable set of photos -- the first showing bin Laden in the hideout where he would seek refuge after 9/11 -- came to light only last month in the terrorism conspiracy trial of bin Laden lieutenant Khaled al-Fawwaz, a communications conduit for al Qaeda in London in the mid-1990s. Al-Fawwaz would arrange bin Laden's first television interview for CNN's Peter Arnett and Peter Bergen in 1997 and a sit-down for ABC News' John Miller a year later. But before then, al-Fawwaz called on a Palestinian print journalist, whose 1996 journey to Afghanistan yielded these photos. Bin Laden had declared war on the United States and wanted more people to know it, especially in the Arab world. He reached out to Abdel Barri Atwan, the founder and then-editor-in-chief of Al-Quds Al-Arabi, an independent Arabic weekly published in London that had been critical of certain Arab regimes and the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Atwan had broken the story about bin Laden's first fatwa, or religious decree, stating his grievances against the United States, such as the presence of U.S troops in Saudi Arabia. He published the entire screed in August 1996. The next month, al-Fawwaz went to Atwan's office to offer him the first print interview with the emerging jihadist leader in Afghanistan. \"I was told that Osama bin Laden was fond of my writing, he liked my style, and he wanted to meet me personally,\" Atwan recalled in an interview for Bergen's 2006 book, \"The Osama bin Laden I Know.\" \"I was hesitant, because it was very dangerous.\" Danger aside, in November 1996, Atwan was airborne to Afghanistan. The date-stamped photographs from his trip -- which Scotland Yard detectives discovered two years later in a search of al-Fawwaz's London home -- show a healthy, relaxed, sometimes smiling bin Laden, not yet 40, conversing, hiking, videotaping pronouncements, surrounded by children. The photos also show rare images of another man who has become an influential ideologue in the global jihadist movement -- Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, better known as Abu Musab al-Suri, a Syrian now in his mid-50s who has not been seen in public or heard from in a decade. Still, al-Suri is arguably the most influential strategic thinker in Islamist militant circles today. \"A generation of jihadis were influenced by his teachings,\" said Paul Cruickshank, a CNN terrorism analyst who has written about al-Suri. \"He wanted a global jihadist intifada,", "summary": "Photos from terrorism trial offer rare glimpse of Osama bin Laden's hideout before 9/11 .

+{"article": "(CNN)For those who hoped that the coming presidential election would usher in the dawn of a new, more inspiring politics, this past week has been deeply discouraging. In two key moments, leaders from both sides of the aisle have acted like the Bourbons of France, who famously remembered nothing and forgot nothing from battles of their past. The first and substantively more important moment was the sending of that letter by Republican senators to the Iranian regime. The second, and perhaps more important politically telling moment, was Hillary Clinton's handling of her emails. The two cases are oddly related. In both instances, the principals started with legitimate concerns but have wound up making things worse. In both cases, the principals have also created divisive issues that will deepen polarization through the campaign and probably into the next presidency. Both have diminished the chances for breaking out of today's ugly politics. Republicans in Congress have reason to press hard with their views as negotiations with Iran enter the home stretch. They, like many others -- including a sizable number of Democrats, the current Israeli government, and friendly Arab nations -- fear the Obama administration will cut a weak, leaky deal that will allow Iran to come perilously close to having nuclear weapons. Just as importantly, Republicans believe, with cause, that as he negotiates, President Barack Obama has tried to sideline Congress in general and them in particular. Who can blame them for arguing that if the President insists any agreement needs only executive approval -- not approval by Congress -- then the next chief executive should not be legally bound by its provisions? Their basic concerns were not unreasonable. Thus, if they had sent exactly the same letter to the President, they would have caused a stir but would have been seen as within the norms of politics and statecraft. Instead, they made the mistake -- a wicked one -- of sending it to the terrorist leaders of Iran, leaving a clear impression they were out to sabotage both the deal and the President. We have had renegade members of Congress try to interfere with presidential negotiations in the past -- remember Sen. Jesse Helms? -- but never 47 members of the United States Senate tossing a hand grenade into delicate, life-or-death negotiations conducted by seven major nations and led by the United States. Ayatollah Khamenei made clear this week that he may use the Republican letter as a pretext for rejecting any deal. Where do we go then? Will talks collapse? Will an Iranian rush toward the bomb set off a nuclear arms race, starting in Saudi Arabia, which is already taking preliminary steps? Will the United States then be compelled to use military force against Iran? Who knows for sure?

As the first candidate to quit the charade of \"exploring\" a presidential run and actually jumping in, the Texas Republican senator presented an image Monday of decisiveness and vision -- all before an auditorium of mostly supportive young evangelicals. Now comes the hard part. Cruz must make inroads with wide swaths of the GOP if he hopes to break through as a top-tier candidate. He doesn't have many friends in the party establishment thanks to his hard-line tactics on issues like Obamacare. And he's facing steep competition for the conservative vote from the likes of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Even evangelicals, Cruz's target audience during his launch speech at Liberty University, aren't firmly in his column. The firebrand's decision to jump-start the 2016 election season now is an implicit admission of the daunting challenges he will face in a crowded GOP field where multiple Republicans will vie for the same social and evangelical support base. \"Ted is clearly a player,\" said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a Christian public policy ministry. \"But the competition this cycle is very steep.\" By choosing Liberty University in Virginia, which was founded by fundamentalist preacher Jerry Falwell, to roll out his long shot campaign, Cruz made clear he won't cede the Christian right to another candidate. \"From the dawn of this country, at every stage, America has enjoyed God's providential blessing,\" said Cruz, roaming the stage with a microphone like a megachurch preacher on a Sunday morning. \"Over and over again, when we faced impossible odds, the American people rose to the challenge.

Rand Paul, who is also likely to make a play for young conservatives.

We both believe in our own political systems. He firmly believes in his; I firmly believe in mine. We are never going to change one another.\" \"Doing business together\" might sum up the Washington-Tehran relationship today. They have overlapping interests in Iraq, Afghanistan, perhaps even in Yemen -- as well as the shared goal of an agreement on Iran's nuclear program, if not how to reach it. The Obama administration has a keen interest in coaxing Iran back into the \"community of nations\" because it is a regional power, a major player in a volatile part of the world. Were the nuclear talks to leave Iran as a \"threshold state\" -- capable of becoming a nuclear power in short order -- Turkey, Egypt and others in the region also might be tempted also to go nuclear. And Israel might carry out its threat of a military strike on Iranian facilities. But U.S. and Iranian interests converge in more immediate ways. Defeating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) -- the most high profile and urgent objective of U.S. foreign policy -- requires Iranian help, and quite a lot of it. Beyond coalition airstrikes, ground forces are comprised of the Iraqi security forces, Shia militias and Iranian advisers and officers. In some areas, the Iranian air force has been active. On Sunday, Iraqi troops and the militias began an offensive to retake Tikrit and the province of Salahuddin from ISIS. Next to Mosul, Tikrit may be ISIS' most important holding in Iraq. On the frontlines, according to the Iranian Fars news agency, was none other than the leader of Iran's Quds Force (or Revolutionary Guard Corps), Qasem Soleimani.

And the Revolutionary Guards have influence over the powerful Shia militia in Iraq known as Hashid Shaabi that is an important component of the fightback against ISIS. The Institute for the Study of War observed that \"the presence of an Iranian general, other Iranian advisers, and Shia militias on the ground alongside Iraqi Sunni fighters to retake a major Sunni provincial capital will be a significant test case for the success of similar future anti-ISIS operations.\" And not only is Iranian help needed in defeating ISIS, but Iranian restraint will be required in preserving Iraq as a single and (dare one hope) stable state thereafter. To many observers, former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki set the stage for ISIS' rise through his increasingly sectarian and anti-Sunni policies. But now the excesses of some Shia militia in Iraq threaten to alienate the Sunni tribes that Maliki's successor, Haidar al-Abadi, is trying to woo. In a veiled reference to alleged abuses by Shia militia of Sunni civilians, Prime Minister Abadi ordered all forces taking part in the Tikrit operation to take \"utmost care in protecting civilian lives and property.\" But he needs Tehran's help", "summary": "Longtime foes U.S. and Iran now find themselves on same side of some critical conflicts .

Shafqat Hussain, 24, was scheduled to be hanged on Thursday, but a government official confirmed Wednesday night with a tweet that Hussain will not be hanged and that his case will be reviewed for another 72 hours. \"We are still unclear on what investigation can be done in 72 hours,\" said Shahab Siddiqui, Hussain's lawyer. \"We will be coordinating with the government and are happy to provide any documentation they would need.\" Hussain's case has triggered outrage from human rights campaigners, who complain he did not get a fair trial and had confessed to murder after being severely tortured by the police. His family says Hussain, at the age of 14 was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for kidnapping and killing a child while he was employed as a security guard in 2004. Unable to afford legal counsel the state appointed him a defense lawyer, whom, according to human rights groups, failed to provide any evidence or claim that Hussain was a juvenile. This meant Hussain was tried as an adult in an anti-terrorism court. A social media campaign with the hashtag #SaveShafqat trended in Pakistan and a small protest was held in the capital to raise awareness about his case. Shafqat was calm when he thought he was going to be executed, Manzoor Hussain, his brother told CNN. \"He had said that if I don't get justice in this world, I will get it in my afterlife.\" \"I can't tell you what kind of night my family has had. I close my eyes and I want to forget. I can't express the agony we have gone through, waiting and not knowing.\" Hussain was initially due to be hanged on January 19, but under international pressure, Pakistan's Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar called for a stay order. Addressing parliament, the minister called for an investigation into the young man's age. Two months later, another death warrant was issued for Hussain, with an execution date set for March 19. Since then Hussain's lawyers handed in a plea of clemency to the president's office with documentation that the inmate was a minor at the time of his arrest. Attention to his case comes in the wake of an announcement by Pakistan that it would lift its moratorium on the death penalty for all cases -- not just for those tried in anti-terrorism courts. Pakistan lifted the death penalty moratorium for terrorism cases following the attack on an Army Public School in Peshawar, which left at least 145 teachers and students dead. It was the deadliest act of terror in the country's history. The decision to lift the moratorium on all cases affects more than 8,000 prisoners currently on death row, the largest number in the world.

+{"article": "(CNN)You may have heard that Israeli politics is extremely complex. But one of the most important forces at play there is actually rather straightforward: When Israelis feel safe and strong they tend to support moderate parties. When they feel vulnerable they move to the right. Understand that, and you will understand Israel -- and why President Barack Obama may have inadvertently given Benjamin Netanyahu a helping hand. Israelis know they need American support to survive in a hostile, increasingly unstable and radicalized neighborhood, but they don't believe they can trust Obama to help keep them safe. And the president, despite taking numerous measures to support the Jewish state, has done a dismal job of persuading Israelis that he has their back. This reality helps explain how Netanyahu and his rightist Likud party pulled off an upset victory this week, despite opinion polls showing them trailing the main opposition Zionist Union heading into Tuesday's election. Clearly, it's not all Obama's fault. Netanyahu's opponents also failed to address security issues, believing a focus on pocketbook matters would be enough. And Netanyahu is a skilled, articulate and shrewd politician. But Obama, like it or not, was one of the reasons for Likud's success. When Netanyahu traveled to Washington a couple of weeks ago to warn the U.S. Congress about an impending \"bad deal\" with Iran over its nuclear program, Obama refused to meet with him, claiming he didn't want to influence Israel's elections. Few believed this was the real reason -- it's no secret the two men don't particularly like one another. Through much of his presidency, Obama has failed to convince Israelis thay they can trust him. And his handling of the recent spat with Netanyahu only added to the problem. By appearing to dismiss Netanyahu's warning of a \"nuclear nightmare\" over the Iran talks by arguing that the prime minister was offering no \"viable alternatives,\" Obama missed an opportunity to reassure security conscious Israelis that the United States will safeguard their survival. His tacit acknowledgment that there might be no alternative to an imperfect deal was of little comfort to Israelis who have spent years hearing genocidal threats from the Iranian regime. Opinion: Will Netanyahu win seal Iran deal? The fact that Obama has become one of the key reasons why Netanyahu continues to win elections in Israel is ironic considering Israelis are profoundly worried about the deteriorating ties with the United States, a relationship they consider key to ensuring their country's survival. One recent poll showed only 37% of Israelis believe Obama has a \"positive\" position towards Israel, a mood that has undoubtedly helped Netanyahu enormously, despite the fact that large numbers of former security officials have said Netanyahu is endangering the country by undermining ties with Washington, and despite Israelis saying close relations with the United States are the second most important factor for Israel's security, behind only Israel's own military strength. All this left a genuine opening for Obama to influence the Israeli electorate, because Israelis desperately want to trust the American president -- and they remain America's biggest, most", "summary": "Benjamin Netanyahu secured re-election in Israeli election on Tuesday .

+{"article": "(CNN)A year ago, when Dr. Stephane Hugonnet was dispatched to Guinea to investigate a series of unexplained deaths, he had little idea that he'd be contending with an outbreak that would quickly spread from a small southern rainforest village, across borders, and around the world. The Ebola outbreak, ravaging primarily Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, is a year old today. According to one official count, it's infected 24,000 people and killed 10,000. And it's managed to do so because of an institutional failure on several levels: weak public health systems locally and a painfully slow response globally. But in order to get to where we are, we need to go back to how it began. It takes a village . Before the virus ravaged West Africa, before the deaths soared into the thousands, before the outbreak triggered global fears, Ebola struck a toddler named Emile Ouamouno . The 2-year-old boy is who researchers with The New England Journal of Medicine believe was the first person to contract the disease in December 2013. Emile lived in a rainforest village in southern Guinea. How he got infected, no one is sure, but Ebola can be spread from animals to humans through infected fluids or tissue. One thing that is certain, within a month Ebola not only took Emile's life, but also those of his mother, sister and grandmother. From there, it spread like wildfire, passing to neighboring villages and beyond when people attended the grandmother's funeral. Where they went, the virus followed. By the time Dr. Hugonnet landed in Guinea, he didn't yet know that it was already too late. Hugonnet leads the Global Capacities, Alert and Responses team of the World Health Organization, and was one of the first doctors on the ground. \"We were following this rumor of a small cluster of unexplained deaths in Guinea,\" he said in a first-hand account of the early days of the crisis. \"When the lab results came back, we learned that there was Ebola Zaire in West Africa. This was a first.\" Hugonnet was working with a team of logisticians, a medical anthropologist, laboratory technicians, virologists and infection prevention and control specialists. It was an impressive collection of professionals with the goal of rapidly assessing the situation and getting it under control, keep it localized. But this outbreak was different, Hugonnet said. \"Person-to-person transmission had quickly spread from a rural area to a large urban city,\" making it harder to contain, he said. \"And, the outbreak was becoming multi-national; cases were confirmed in Liberia and were suspected in Sierra Leone.\" From those early days, the outbreak would mushroom. In July, Patrick Sawyer became the first American citizen to die at a hospital in Monrovia, Liberia. His case raised fears the virus could spread beyond the countries at the heart of the outbreak. And it does. International flights took the disease as far as Spain and the United States. On August 6, a businessman with Ebola died in a hospital in Saudi Arabia.

+{"article": "(CNN)Once again the global community waits to see if the United States and its partners can really halt Iran's quest for nuclear power through a verifiable accord or if Tehran is trying to buy more time for a clandestine nuclear weapons program it is suspected of having. True, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently denied it seeks anything more than nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. But Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's repeated claims in public forums that \"We do not have nuclear weapons, and we do not intend to produce them,\" have failed to convince the United States, European Union and Israel. Suspicion is well-warranted. Iran reluctantly disclosed to the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA \u2014 only after U.S.-led detection \u2014 its clandestine enrichment of uranium at an underground facility near Qum, testing of bridge wires to explode the detonators of atom bombs at the Parchin military facility near Tehran, and development of an advanced multipoint trigger system for nuclear warheads. Even the IAEA director noted on March 2 that the agency still could not \"provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran and therefore to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.\" As a result, the chief ayatollah's words seem more intended for defusing the international storm rather than changing domestic policy. Moreover, Khamenei has made it amply clear to Iran's citizens in the text of an infographic on his website, also reproduced by the state-controlled news media, that \"Iran must not cease or slow down\" but should \"continue nuclear research, expansion, and progress.\" He has threatened as well, repeatedly, that Iran will unleash a \"crushing response\" against any nation with which it clashes, making his stated intent to continue nuclear activities more ominous. However, economically strapped and internationally isolated, Iran's citizens are putting pronounced pressure on President Hassan Rouhani and Khamenei. A November 2014 Gallup Poll indicates 70% of Iranians hope their leaders will accept an agreement. They expect the country's economy will jump-start through reduction or elimination of sanctions. So Iranian politicians and clerics, even those on the National Security and Foreign Policy Parliamentary Committee, have gradually begun acknowledging that sooner or later \"some sort of a result [i.e., nuclear deal]\" will have to be accepted by Tehran. Ordinary Iranians' desire to reach a pact with the West is understandable. Iran's economy ranks only 32nd in the world, according to data from the World Bank, despite its vast energy resources and well-educated public. Consequently its people's prosperity has fallen to a lowly 107th among the world's societies, according to the Legatum Institute. Plunging oil prices have recently added to domestic woes, with that country facing deeper deficit in revenues much needed for development projects. Iranian leaders realize their regime remains vulnerable not only to externally imposed sanctions, but more so to internally generated widespread discontent, which erupted and was violently repressed in 2009.

The former Major League Baseball pitcher recently fired off a series of fastballs and mowed down a group of Twitter trolls who made the mistake of tweeting vulgar and sexually-explicit comments about Schilling's teenage daughter. The drama started, innocently enough, on February 25, when Schilling played the role of a proud father. He sent a tweet congratulating his daughter, Gabby, on being accepted to Salve Regina University, where she'll play softball. It read: \"Congrats to Gabby Schilling who will pitch for the Salve Regina Seahawks next year!! \u2014 Curt Schilling (@gehrig38)\" Almost immediately, responses came in from young men, complete strangers who apparently followed Schilling on Twitter. The tweets quickly went from immature, to creepy, to repugnant. Threats of rape were common. The tweets were deleted, and the accounts were closed after this story went viral. But not before Schilling captured some of the images and posted them on his blog. What was said about 17-year-old Gabby Schilling wasn't just obnoxious. It was vile and obscene. What was said wasn't just mean and ugly. It was threatening and scary. As a parent, it's the kind of thing that makes you rethink your opposition to public caning as a logical punishment for such transgressions.

If so, they thought wrong. They couldn't hide. They were found out, and they got the throttling they so richly deserved. Thanks to dad.

One was a student disc jockey at a community college in New Jersey, who was suspended, and the other was a part-time ticket seller for the New York Yankees, who was fired.

+{"article": "(CNN)There's a steady stream of blood flowing down his face from a cut just above his eye. His rapid, open-mouth breathing inadvertently draws some of the blood inside, discoloring his teeth. He appears dazed, probably with a concussion. But there are no trained physicians around to evaluate. And even if there were, it's doubtful anything a doctor could say would stop him from fighting. The crowd that has gathered in this backyard of a Miami suburb won't let him. They have too much money invested. Besides, this illegal fight is the safest way he can make money. And his best chance of reaching the American Dream. When I first saw this footage from the documentary \"Dawg Fight,\" I recoiled. Here we are recognizing the 50th anniversary of \"Bloody Sunday\" in Selma, Alabama, and in the next state over there are desperate, unemployed black men beating the hell out of each other for a hundred bucks. While the 1999 cult classic \"Fight Club\" made organized street fights look like a sexy form of psychotherapy for repressed men (and some of the guys who participate in street fights do fit the bill), the vast majority in the documentary just need the money. Because in the Miami area the poor reportedly live on $11 a day. And in West Perrine, the suburb where \"Dawg Fight\" takes place and where nearly 75% of the residents are black, unemployment remains high. \"This is the future of America,\" said the film's director, Billy Corben. \"When you look at the incarceration rate, especially for black men, and income inequality, the life you see in 'Dawg Fight' is where we are headed. \"We have these ridiculous drug laws, which makes it nearly impossible to get a job once you've been arrested. And if you can get a job, it doesn't pay enough to feed a family.\" The numbers speak for themselves. The United States has 5% of the world's population but 25% of its prisoners -- by far the most of any country. Meanwhile, between 2009 and 2012, the top 1% of Americans captured 95% of all income growth. So while it is true unemployment is down and Wall Street is booming, the combination of a debilitating criminal justice system and low wages has created an environment in which men such as those featured in \"Dawg Fight\" feel backyard fights are actually one of the less nefarious ways they can make money. Sens. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, and Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, have become interesting bedfellows as they work to address the country's runaway prison industry. This week, the pair, along with Sen.

+{"article": "(CNN)The cost of college has rapidly increased over the past 30 years. Students today face annual costs, between tuition and living, that can easily exceed $10,000 at a community college, $18,000 at a public four-year college (in-state), and $40,000 at a private four-year school. It's unsurprising that today's students often graduate with large debt loads. More than two-thirds of students graduate with debt. And the average amount of debt owed is about $30,000. Given the cost of college, students and families need to know that they're making a good investment. That's why we need to move to a system where we measure learning outcomes, not just time spent in a classroom accumulating credits. A college degree is the only sure path to middle-class security, and because young people and their parents know that, the cost of college, and the availability of loans and other aid, has become a powerful political issue. But for all the attention paid to the price of college, we haven't given enough thought to whether students and their families are getting their money's worth. Is American higher education worth the price? Are students and their families getting what they're paying for? There's plenty of evidence that for many of them, the answer is no. In 2006, a government study found that nearly 70% of college graduates could not perform basic tasks like comparing opposing editorials. In a 2011 book, \"Academically Adrift,\" researchers studied 2,000 students at two dozen universities over four years and found that 45% of them showed no significant gains on a test of critical thinking, complex reasoning, and communication skills after two years of college. Even at the end of four years, 36% of the students hadn't gained those skills. Given the evidence, maybe it's not a surprise that employers aren't impressed by recent college graduates. Employers want the skills that higher education says it provides to students: the ability to critically think, communicate, work in a team, write effectively, and adapt. Yet only about one-quarter of employers say that colleges and universities are doing a good job in preparing students effectively for the challenges of today's global economy. A recent Gallup poll found that only 11% of business leaders strongly agreed that college graduates have the skills necessary to succeed on the job. In addition to money, these graduates have spent hours and hours in classrooms and taking tests, but the time doesn't seem to have translated into learning. Why is this? Perhaps it's as simple as this: We measure education in terms of time, rather than learning. A four-year degree attests that you have acquired 120 credits. That's an accidental result of the credit hour system, which was created by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie more than 100 years ago, for the purpose of providing struggling professors with pensions. At the turn of the 20th century, Carnegie created a $10 million free pension fund to help professors retire.

The only problem was that the car's registration plate, H982 FLK, appeared to refer to the 1982 Falklands War between the UK and Argentina, fought over a remote British colony off the coast of Patagonia, which both countries claim. The conflict, which claimed the lives of 655 Argentinian servicemen and 255 Britons, ended with a British victory. Clarkson and the rest of the production team were in the country filming a TV special on a remote highway that passes through Chile and Argentina, and the number plate sparked anger among locals over the perennially touchy subject of the war. As the crew attempted to flee by road to Chile, they were attacked by an angry crowd who hurled rocks and bricks at the Porsche and other cars in the convoy. Clarkson, who fronts Top Gear, later said an angry mob tried to attack them with pickax handles and shouted \"burn their cars.\" \"This was not some jolly jape that went awry. For once, we did nothing wrong,\" he told The Sun. Top Gear producers said the numbers and letters on the registration plates had not been chosen deliberately. The motoring show, fronted by Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, has made a name for itself globally with risky stunts and a brand of blokish humor that often treads the line and regularly steps over it. Clarkson is determinedly anti-politically correct among the topics he rails about, both on the show and in his newspaper and magazine columns. Favored topics include environmentalism, traffic laws and liberals. The latest \"fracas\" has seen Clarkson suspended by the BBC, which broadcasts Top Gear, for allegedly hitting a producer.

The slur came during a show segment which showed hosts Clarkson, Hammond and May looking at a bridge they had built over the River Kwai as a local man walked over it. \"That is a proud moment. But there's a slope on it,\" Clarkson said. \"You're right,\" co-star Hammond replied. \"It's definitely higher on that side.\" Following complaints, the UK's media watchdog, Ofcom, said the use of the word \"slope,\" which is a derogatory term, was offensive and that the episode broke broadcasting rules. The show's executive producer Andy Wilman said in a statement, that they \"[regretted] any offense caused,\" adding, \"when we used the word 'slope' ... it was a light-hearted word play joke referencing both the build quality of the bridge and the local Asian man who was crossing it.\" Over the years, Clarkson has been in trouble for an apparent series of racist comments including characterizing Mexicans as \"lazy and feckless\" and saying that everyone who traveled to India got \"the trots.\" He was", "summary": "Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson is determinedly anti-PC; courts controversy .

I was series adviser and one of many on-camera experts on CNN's \"Finding Jesus,\" which premiered Sunday evening. I also appear in each episode of the program. Viewers were invited to tweet and post their questions to Facebook during the show. Below are some of the most interesting, and my answers to them. Vance Lipsey: Is there a better way to check the shroud than carbon dating? I've been told carbon dating is very inaccurate. Goodacre: Actually, carbon dating is an excellent way to ascertain the date of an artifact. Many are disappointed, not surprisingly, that the shroud dated to between AD 1260 and 1390. I recall my own disappointment (but not surprise) on hearing the results back in 1988. But the scientists doing the carbon dating were not amateurs, and the samples were tested in three separate labs. Moreover, the carbon date cohered with other evidence that the shroud was a medieval forgery, like the fact that there is no evidence of its existence until the 14th century. Cynthia Restivo: So I know the carbon dating was off, but wasn't it later shown that the piece of cloth used for the testing was a section that had been repaired after some fire damage or something? Which would explain why it dated different? Goodacre: No, that's not been established. Those who defend the authenticity of the shroud often say the sample might have been taken from a part of the shroud that was repaired after it was damaged by fire in the 16th century. But this is special pleading. The scientists who took the sample knew what they were doing. Professor Christopher Ramsey noted that the unusual weave on the sample matched the weave on the rest of the shroud perfectly. Beth A Hafele: So were Jesus' wrists nailed or his hands? All shows and movies have his hands nailed. Goodacre: One of the curiosities about the Turin Shroud is that the figure appears to be nailed through the wrists. This has long intrigued those who have studied crucifixion because there is some anatomical plausibility here -- nails through the wrists would support the body better than nails through the palms of the hands. It is just possible that the bones of the only crucified victim we have, Jehohanan, show a nail mark above the wrist, but this is disputed. There are two further factors here. One is that victims of crucifixion may often have been tied instead of (or as well as) being nailed. Also, some dispute whether the shroud figure is nailed through the wrists. (See Antonio Lombatti's graphic.) Virginia McCoy: Once again, Mary Magdalene is totally ignored. They used the Gospel that described Peter as having discovered the empty tomb. When other Gospels describe Magdalene as the one that discovered it and then she called out to others.

+{"article": "(CNN)Police officer and former U.S. Army Ranger John Moynihan was honored at the White House less than a year ago as one of the nation's \"Top Cops\" for helping to save a transit officer wounded in a gunbattle with the Boston Marathon bombers. On Saturday, Moynihan, 34, was in a medically induced coma at a Boston hospital after being shot in the face at point-blank range in the city's Roxbury neighborhood the night before. The gunman was shot and killed. \"He's a strong kid,\" Police Commissioner William Evans told reporters. \"He's a fighter. He's going to pull through.\" On Sunday, after several hours of surgery to remove the bullet from his neck, Moynihan, who had been listed in critical condition, was in stable and improving condition, according to a Twitter posting by the Boston Police Department. A six-year police veteran and member of the youth violence task force, Moynihan was shot below the right eye. The bullet lodged behind his right ear, Evans said. In April 2013, Moynihan was among officers who helped save transit officer Richard H. Donohue Jr., who was shot during a gunfight involving Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the days after the marathon bombings. Police fired nearly 300 rounds within five to 10 minutes. One round nearly killed Donohue. Moynihan and other Massachusetts officers were cited for their \"heroic and relentless\" life-saving measures on Donohue, who nearly lost his entire blood volume on the Watertown street. An officer pressed against Donuhue's chest. Another forced air into his lungs. The wound near his groin was too high for a tourniquet. A 33-year police veteran, Donohue was pale and appeared dead as four officers laid him on a gurney. \"He was essentially dead,\" said Dr. Heather Studley, who took over his care at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed that night; his younger brother is on trial now in a federal death penalty case in Boston. At a White House ceremony last May, President Barack Obama honored Moynihan and 52 other officers as \"America's Top Cops.\" \"There are officers here who were in the thick of two attacks last year: the shooting at the Washington Naval Yard and the bombing at the Boston Marathon,\" Obama said at the time. \"On those awful days -- and we all remember them -- amid the smoke and the chaos, the courage of these officers shone through. And their quick thinking and level-headedness undoubtedly saved lives.\" In a statement Saturday, Donohue wished Moynihan a full recovery, reported CNN affiliate WCVB. \"John played a part in saving my life, and that's something I will never forget,\" Donohue said. \"His record of service speaks for itself. Everyone is wishing him well and we know he has the strength to pull through.\" At 6:40 p.m. Friday, Moynihan and other officers pulled over a car in an area where gunshots had been reported earlier, Evans said. The primary job of the task force, also known as the gang unit, is to remove guns from the streets.

Yusuf Mohamed Ismail Bari-Bari, Somalia's permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, was among those killed in the attack at the the Makka Al Mukarama hotel in Mogadishu, the Somali government said. The attack began around 5 p.m. when a car bomb exploded at the hotel's entrance, according to witness Aden Hussein, who said he was meters away from the hotel when the blast happened. Gunmen then went inside the hotel, shooting people, Hussein said. One of the attackers, wearing a belt with explosives, blew himself up inside the hotel, police Capt. Ahmed Abdi said . A few hours after the assault began, state-run media reported that security forces stormed the building and killed the remaining assailants. The attackers killed at least six people, Abdi said. The hotel, which is along a highway leading to the country's presidential palace, is popular with lawmakers, journalists and business people. An Al-Shabaab spokesman, Sheikh Abdiaziz Abu Musab, told CNN that the group was behind the attack. He said Al-Shabaab fighters were conducting an operation at the hotel against what he said were spies and government officials. Al-Shabaab has been active in Somalia for years.

+{"article": "(CNN)With the ongoing protests over the shooting death by police of black teenager Tony Robinson in Madison, Wisconsin, the racist chanting of fraternity members at the University of Oklahoma, and now the inexcusable shootings of two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, it's safe to say that the always-strained race relations in this country are being pushed to the breaking point. And the point with the most stress is the delicate relationship between police forces and the minority communities that they serve. To approach things from a more positive angle, the situation is dire enough that we absolutely have to try to uncover the good and not dwell on the negative. The best time to make things better is when it seems that everything is getting worse. This unacceptable status quo can motivate us to take the necessary steps to address the problems, which are not going to disappear unless we honestly deal with them. When things are going wrong, responsible people can begin by saying the right things. President Obama said on Twitter, \"Violence against police is unacceptable. Our prayers are with the officers in MO. Path to justice is one all of us must travel together.\" The Congressional Black Caucus issued a statement saying, \"The CBC understands the frustrations in Ferguson, but a response of violence is not the answer during this transformative moment in our country.\" And Attorney General Eric Holder noted, \"This was not someone trying to bring healing to Ferguson. ... This was a damn punk, a punk who was trying to sow discord.\" For the most part, authorities in Missouri have been careful not to blame the peaceful protesters. Surely, not all responses have been as measured, but the gravity of the situation will hopefully bring out the best in people. While we pause for a moment to let passions cool, we can use the time to consider how best to move forward with common resolve instead of mutual recrimination. The way forward is to engage citizens in the community -- to bring them into the room when decisions are being made about policing policies and procedures to make sure that those policies and procedures address the community's real concerns. And it's about putting law enforcement officers in the community as welcome members of that community -- as guarantors of the safety and security of the people instead of intimidating outside forces. This approach would benefit both the community and the police. I'm certain that officers would rather be appreciated and valued by the people they serve than be pressured to fill city coffers by issuing unnecessary citations, as noted in the DOJ report on Ferguson. Nobody becomes a cop because they secretly long to be a collection agent. One of the easiest ways to integrate law enforcement officers into the community is to physically put them on the sidewalks by increasing the number of cops who work good old-fashioned foot beats. Officers who view the world through a patrol car window are separated from the people they serve by more than a sheet of glass.

+{"article": "(CNN)Here are some of the names you might be hearing about as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev goes on trial in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings: . \u2022 Dzhokhar \"Jahar\" Tsarnaev: Born July 22, 1993, Tsarnaev and his family immigrated to the United States and applied for political asylum when he was 8. A popular student, Tsarnaev attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin School and was captain of his high school wrestling team. He received a $2,500 scholarship from the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and attended the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. Tsarnaev was known on campus for selling marijuana, according to court testimony. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in September 2012, seven months before the bombings. Federal agents say surveillance video captured him near the second blast site, where 8-year-old Martin Richards was killed. After the bombings, Tsarnaev returned to campus and stayed there until the FBI publicly identified him as a suspect. Tsarnaev texted a friend to come to his room and take whatever he wanted as he would not be coming back. He and older brother Tamerlan went on the run, allegedly killing an MIT officer, carjacking an SUV and engaging Watertown, Massachusetts, police in a firefight. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed, and Dzhokhar was discovered the next day, badly wounded, hiding in a boat. \u2022 Tamerlan Tsarnaev: Tamerlan Tsarnaev, born October 21, 1986, was an accomplished boxer. He won the New England Golden Gloves heavyweight division in 2009-2010. Known for his flashy clothes and in-your-face self-confidence, Tamerlan aspired to join the U.S. boxing team despite being only a permanent resident and therefore ineligible. In early 2011, Russia asked the FBI to look at Tsarnaev's activities. After interviewing Tsarnaev and family members, the FBI said it \"did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government.\" In January 2012, Tsarnaev left New York for Russia. It's not clear what he did while there, but Tsarnaev's father has said his son was with him at all times. He returned to the United States in July 2012. Seventy-two hours before the bombing, he was seen working out at the Wai Kru mixed martial arts gym with his younger brother. He was killed following a gunfight with Watertown police after his brother tried to free him with a stolen SUV but ran him down instead, according to an indictment against the younger Tsarnaev. \u2022 Anzor Tsarnaev: Anzor Tsarnaev is the father of the Tsarnaev brothers. Originally from Chechnya, the family was exiled by Russians and settled in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan before seeking political asylum in the United States. The elder Tsarnaev fixed cars for a living, making ends meet through welfare. He and wife Zubeidat divorced in 2011, and he returned to the Russian republic of Dagestan, where he now lives. \u2022 Zubeidat Tsarnaeva: Mother Zubeidat Tsarnaeva worked as a home health aide before switching to facials and skin care, both at a local spa and in her Cambridge home.

+{"article": "(CNN)The Palestinian issue dominates international news coverage of Israel, with images of missiles, terror tunnels and failed peace negotiations frequently splashed across TV screens and newspapers. So you would think that security would be the central issue in Tuesday's Israeli elections, right? The short answer is no. Poll after poll in Israel has confirmed that the public views the high cost of living as the top issue for voters in this election. Indeed, even a majority of Israel's Arab citizens within the pre-1967 borders -- most of whom identify with the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza -- view socioeconomic issues as the priority for Tuesday's parliamentary poll, rather than advancing the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. What explains this apparent indifference? First, despite what the polls suggest, peace and security actually remain the most important underlying issue in Israeli politics. The main parties recognize that they need to cross the credibility threshold on this issue, and they therefore include former high-ranking army officers and diplomats among their ranks. Whatever they may say to pollsters, many voters continue to vote primarily on this issue. However, because most such voters are staunch supporters of the right or the left and have already made up their minds, they are unlikely to shift their vote between these two blocs, so their votes are not in play in these elections. This wasn't always the case -- a significant group of voters once swung back and forth between right and left. However, for some time now, the majority of Israelis have shared a consensual position on the Palestinian question. In principle, they continue to favor a two-state solution and they are prepared to make extensive compromises in exchange for genuine peace -- greater concessions than in the 1990s at the height of the peace process. However, in practice, that same majority believes that even if an Israeli government were to agree to more compromises than they view as acceptable, Israel would still not obtain the minimum required in terms of peace and security to make the deal worthwhile. Why? Experience has certainly taught middle Israel to be deeply skeptical of the possibility of peace with the Palestinians, irrespective of the complexion of the Israeli government. In 2000, for example, a Labor-led government agreed to a Palestinian state in all of Gaza, 97% of the West Bank and Arab East Jerusalem, including the holiest site in Judaism, the Temple Mount. Yet not only did Yasser Arafat reject the deal, but the Palestinians launched an unprecedented wave of suicide bombings against Israeli civilians. Add in the fact that subsequent unilateral Israeli withdrawals from south Lebanon and Gaza resulted in tens of thousands of rockets being launched at Israeli civilians, and the 2008 decision by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to reject Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's peace proposal -- a plan similar to the Clinton parameters that Arafat rejected in 2000 -- and Israeli wariness is easy to understand. Since then, leaks from the recent round of peace talks have only served to strengthen the Israeli public's skepticism -- the", "summary": "Israel holds parliamentary elections on Tuesday .

Authorities don't believe the suspected shooter knew the victim, Ahmed Al-Jumaili, Dallas Police Maj. Jeff Cotner said reporters, nor do they believe he knew Al-Jumaili's ethnicity. And they haven't given any indication Al-Jumaili had anything to do with what led the teen to head out armed in the first place -- a purported shooting at his girlfriend's apartment, if that in fact happened. Cotner said that, while there have nearby shootings that might be tied to gangs, \"we (have been) unable to substantiate ... whether or not there was an actual shooting at the apartment.\" What police do believe, based on witness testimony and other evidence, is that the teenager shot and killed Al-Jumaili, for whatever reason. \"When he saw Mr. Al-Jumaili and their family, he targeted them, he shot at them with intent,\" Cotner said of the suspect, who is under arrest. \"And as Mr. Al-Jumaili ran back toward his apartment, he tracked him with his rifle and continued to fire.\" Dallas police named the suspected shooter, though CNN is not identifying him yet since he's a minor and it's not clear if he'll be charged as an adult. The teen turns 18 in May, police said. Until the fatal shots ended Al-Jumalli's life, March 4 had been a day of fun and joy for Al-Jumaili and his family. The 36-year-old, who had immigrated to the United States 20 days earlier, joined his brother and wife taking pictures in the parking lot of a Dallas apartment complex amid the snow. \"Just like all of us, a pretty snowfall brings the child out in us,\" Cotner said. Then came the gunshots and Al-Jumaili's cry, \"I'm hit!\" A few hours later, the Iraqi immigrant was dead. Three days later, a Dallas detective found surveillance footage from a nearby elementary school showing four people coming from the apartment complex. The black-and-white soundless surveillance video shows one person apparently carrying a rifle is seen running just ahead of a second person seemingly carrying a hand gun, Dallas police Officer Monica Cordova said. Approximately 13 seconds later, another person comes into view and passes by the camera, followed by a fourth individual who is walking, she said. Then, on Tuesday, a witness walked into the Richardson, Texas, police station and provided a nickname of a possible suspect -- Kaca. That nickname eventually led to the 17-year-old police believe shot Al-Jumaili. Investigators interviewed him for the first time Thursday, at which time he denied ever leaving his girlfriend's apartment. Then, authorities got the OK to search his apartment and found an unfired rifle cartridge, Cotner said. The teen was brought to Dallas police headquarters for another interview, and he changed his story. Yes, he had been at the scene of Al-Jumaili's killing. But no, he hadn't done it.

It was the first time a British athlete had run the 13.1 mile distance in under 60 minutes.

'The international community can and must supply more intense political pressure to stop the violence and human rights abuses that are fueling this crisis.' More than 200,000 people have been killed and another four million have fled the country since the conflict between rebel groups and President Bashar al-Assad began in March 2011. In this period, the Islamic State has seized control of large swathes of territory in their bid to establish a caliphate across the Middle East. One of the most prominent eclipses depicted in the satellite images has taken place in the northern city of Aleppo where fierce fighting between rebels and Government forces has decreased the night-time lights emitted by 97 per cent. In Government-held cities such as Damascus, the change has been less dramatic with a 35 per cent reduction in light output. Also affected: The nation's capital Damascus has also been hit by fighting since 2011 with satellite imagery showing how night-time light has been reduced by 35 per cent . People fleeing their homes, power shortages and physical destruction can all contribute to the decline in night light, which offers a unique glimpse into the destruction wrought by the violence in Syria. According to research leader Dr. Xi LI, the fall in night light over the course of the conflict is similar to what was", "summary": "Satellite photos show how country has been affected by four years of war .

A longtime science teacher in Ohio has been reprimanded for failing to report a student who allegedly took a bottle of illegal liquor he had produced to class. Jennifer Thompson, 52, who has taught at Riverside middle school in De Graff for more than 20 years, reportedly tipped the moonshine down the drain when she was shown it but did not alert authorities. According to Dayton Daily News, she was issued with a formal warning letter as a result, while the pupil in question was suspended from school. Thompson apparently knew the 13-year-old boy and another 14-year-old had created a still and were starting to produce alcohol. While she warned the duo it could be 'dangerous', investigators claim the tutor took no strict action to stop the operation. In January, a report from the Logan County Sheriff says the student brought some of the liquor to show in science class. Thompson disposed of it instead of alerting the principle. Under Ohio law, the illegal manufacture of moonshine is considered a first-degree misdemeanor - carrying the same charges as crimes including petty theft or assault.

In an interview with The Atlantic, John Sylvan, who came up with the idea for the coffee pods and the machine in the early 1990s, revealed that he 'feels bad' about the negative impact that the pods are having on the environment. Sylvan, who no longer uses the plastic pods himself, also confessed he wishes he had never created them in the first place. 'I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it,' said Mr Sylvan, who sold his share of the company in 1997 for $50,000. Scroll down for video . Regrets: John Sylvan (pictured) says that he often wishes he had never invented the Keurig coffee pods . Keurig is currently thought to be one of the most popular at-home brewing systems in America. Last year the company sold 9.8 billion Keurig-brewed portion packs and earned $4.7billion. The design is simple - a small plastic capsule containing ground beans that can be put into a machine to produce a cup of coffee at the touch of a button. However despite the multi-billion pound success of the company nothing has been done to try and make the packaging of the popular Keurig pods recyclable. And Mr Sylvan insists this will never happen. 'No matter what they say about recycling, those things will never be recyclable,' he said. 'The plastic is a specialized plastic made of four different layers.' Mr Sylvan, who co-founded the company with Peter Dragone, added that the unique plastic used in the K-Cups - known as plastic #7 - is only recyclable in a small number of cities in Canada, and cannot as yet be processed yet in the United States. Unfortunately the plastic is also integral to the unique design of the pods. It ensures that the coffee inside stays completely protected from any outside elements and remains completely intact while the coffee is being brewed. The popularity of the simplistic coffee pods has also come across the shores to the UK. Adverts for K-Cup featuring the slogan 'Brew the Love', enticed American audiences. And in England thousands of customers have been lured into buying Nespresso machines following similar adverts featuring George Clooney. Nespresso is now the most prominent capsule company in the UK. The machines do not take the Keurig capsules but take similar plastic ones and Nespresso has established its own sustainability advisory board. Mr Sylvan also confessed that despite his earlier dedication to the brand, he no longer drinks coffee made using the capsules. In 1995 he had to go to hospital with heart palpitations after testing up to 40 cups of his coffee a day. He now no longer even owns a K-Cup machine and only drinks filter coffee.

The 32-year-old was arrested by Myanmar police in December, along with owner Tun Thurein, 40, and manager Htut Ko Ko Lwin, 26, after an official from Myanmar's Religious Department complained about the advertising.

The case has been watched closely by international observers amid fears that the Buddhist-majority country, which has seen a surge in foreign investment since it began emerging from the grip of the military in 2011, is seeing its much-lauded reforms stalling. Blackwood, who has a seven month old daughter, along with 40-year-old bar owner Tun Thurein and manager Htut Ko Ko Lwin, 26, have been held in Yangon's notorious Insein prison since their arrest in December.

Blackwood, the manager of VGastro Bar in Yangon, was arrested after posting a promotional image of a psychedelic Buddha wearing headphones to the bar's Facebook page . The trio, who all denied the charges, were sentenced to two years in jail for insulting religion through written word or pictures and a further six months for breaching local authority regulations. Both offences carry the punishment of hard labour. They were also held responsible for protests that erupted outside the bar over the image. Judge Ye Lwin said that while Blackwood, 32, had posted an apology, he had 'intentionally plotted to insult religious belief' when he uploaded the photo. He added that although the New Zealander had admitted to posting the picture without intending to offend, it was also 'unreasonable only to blame the foreigner' when explaining the guilty verdicts for the Myanmar defendants.

Moses Odubajo celebreates as he hits a stoppage-time equaliser to deny Millwall a precious three points . Millwall, looking revitalised since former striker Harris took over from Ian Holloway earlier this month, threatened first after just two minutes when Ed Upson found Martyn Woolford, whose shot from the edge of the box was parried by David Button. Brentford almost went ahead after 15 minutes through a glancing header from Spanish midfielder Jota, but the ball cannoned back off the crossbar. And in the 28th minute Millwall got their noses in front when Gregory latched on to Upson's long ball over the top, rounded Button and fired into an empty net from 15 yards.

Gay rights activist Rodney Croome said: 'Peter Abetz is reinforcing exactly the same myths and prejudices that the Safe Schools Program is designed to challenge' A former Christian pastor and politician described an anti-bullying campaign as a 'gay lifestyle promotion program', in remarks blasted by gay rights activists. Peter Abetz, a WA state government backbencher - who first spoke to The West Australian - said he was concerned the Safe Schools Coalition Australia program would elevate LGBTI children to 'celebrity' status. 'I don't believe that any program should go into a school which actually elevates a subset of students - LGBTI - to celebrity status and gives them special privileges which are not afforded to any other sub-group in the school,' he told Daily Mail Australia. Mr Abetz said 'no one' should have to tolerate bullying but campaigns targeting gay, lesbian and transgender students could lead to more bullying in schools overall. He said being gay was 'not normal' - as heterosexuals make up '90 to 95 per cent of the population on a 'distribution curve' and just as 'skinny' or 'obese' people are not the majority. 'Just because it's not the norm in the population doesn't mean they shouldn't be respected and treated with dignity,' he said.

The police chief on duty during the Hillsborough disaster today said that he had never previously apologised for lying to officials because he had 'never found an opportunity' to do so. David Duckenfield told the inquest into the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans during the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989 that he had not spoken out because was worried about being misrepresented. The former officer also admitted he was 'possibly in denial' over his misleading statement that a gate had been forced open by fans, leading to a deadly crush on the terraces of the Sheffield stadium. He told the jury he was a Freemason at the time of the accident, but said he hoped that was not a factor in his promotion to the position of chief superintendent. And he denied taking part in a 'cover-up' designed to divert blame from the police by ascribing the disaster to Liverpool fans' bad behaviour. Yesterday, Mr Duckenfield said he 'apologised unreservedly' to the families of the victims who were killed in the opening minutes of the game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Shortly before kick-off the officer - who had never previously overseen a major football match - ordered a gate to be opened in order to ease overcrowding outside the ground, but this allowed fans to rush into to already packed terraces. When fans started dying, Mr Duckenfield told Football Association officials that 'some fans have got in through a gate', which he now admits was a 'terrible lie'. Rajiv Menon QC, lawyer for the victims' families, asked him why it took him 26 years to 'come clean' over his 'critical mistakes'. Mr Duckenfield, 70, replied: 'I was possibly in denial and I never found a venue or an opportunity where I could meet with someone and speak to them honestly and openly and ensure that my thought and my feelings would be reported fairly. 'Yesterday this court gave me the opportunity to sit here and apologise fully for the first time without fear of anybody misrepresenting what I was saying.' Crush: 96 Liverpool fans were killed by being pushed up against barriers on the overcrowded terrace . He denied saying anything inaccurate to FA officials Graham Kelly and Glen Kirton, but confessed he had told a 'lie by omission' for failing to mention that he gave the order to open the gate, and added that it was his family who told him what he had done. He said: 'I have spoken to my family, who are genuine people, and I have said I am troubled by this situation and they said to me, \"Well you obviously lied because you didn't tell the whole truth.\"' Mr Duckenfield, who was promoted to be an area commander at South Yorkshire Police two weeks before the semi-final, told the jury that he was not a 'reasonably competent match commander' due to his lack of experience.

But Russia has reportedly set its sights on a supersonic behemoth, which could strike terror into the hearts of any enemies in the future.

Her distraught mother Jo told an inquest how the doctor responsible for her daughter's care in Grand Cayman admitted: 'I'm very sorry, I messed up.' Kate Clayton, 30, originally from Southampton, died after bungling doctors on a Caribbean island starved her brain of oxygen during a routine operation, an inquest has heard . A leading medic from Southampton, where Miss Clayton was later transferred for emergency treatment, also told the hearing that he could 'not understand' why it had taken doctors so long to realise their mistake. In a narrative verdict, the coroner openly criticised the care given to Miss Clayton at Georgetown Hospital, ruling that she died 'as a direct result of the failed tracheotomy' which was 'inadequately carried out.' The inquest, which was heard in Winchester, heard how Miss Clayton had been rushed to hospital on the Caribbean island in January this year after a horror crash which left her paralysed from the chest down.

But the former Durham University student died on April 4 last year - three days before the trial was due to start at Southwark Crown Court in London. Her family said they were 'astonished' the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided to take bipolar sufferer Miss de Freitas to court. She made a rape allegation to Metropolitan Police in January 2013 against wealthy financier, Alexander Economou, 35, claiming the incident had happened just before Christmas 2012. It was investigated but officers closed the case after concluding that gaps in the evidence meant they would not be able to secure a conviction. Despite being told he would not face charges, Mr Economou paid for his own inquiry, assembling emails, text messages, details of phone calls and CCTV footage of them together. He then started a private prosecution against Miss de Freitas for perverting the course of justice by allegedly lying to police. The whole process is said to have cost him \u00a3200,000. The Crown Prosecution Service took over the case but decided against using its powers to throw it out, leaving her frightened and devastated. The inquest into her death was originally opened in November last year, but was adjourned so the Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders could personally investigate the CPS's decision to prosecute. West London coroner Chinyere Inyama also said he needed to know the remit of the CPS investigation before deciding on the scope of his hearing.

+{"article": "Officials in Indiana knew that a 16-year-old mentally disabled girl was being subjected to appalling neglect four years before she was rushed to hospital covered in feces and weighing just 35lb. The girl was in such a grave condition that she was put on life support at Peyton Manning Children\u2019s Hospital in Indianapolis last December. The victim is the granddaughter of Steve Sells, 58, who, along with his wife, Joetta, 54, and their daughter, Crystal, 21, has been charged with neglect. 'Cruel': Steve and Joetta Sells were granted custody in 2009 when their daughter, Crystal, abandoned her child . Scene: Sells allegedly locked his granddaughter in an upstairs bedroom without enough heat. When detectives searched the house, they found a mattress, a bucket and a bowl of oatmeal in the bedroom . Court documents indicate that the teenager was brutally beaten by her caretakers, lodged on a blood-and-feces-stained mattress and forced to eat human waste and go to the bathroom in a bucket. Now it transpires that the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) first learnt of her ordeal as far back as 2010, with the teenager\u2019s harrowing plight brought to the attention of authorities multiple times since, according to the Indystar.com. It claims that according to DCS records dated September 21, 2010, someone told the body that the victim, then 11, was \u2018very malnourished\u2019, had a bruise on her check and had not been seen in school. The DCS told the family it was going to investigate the claims, citing \u2018serious medical concerns\u2019. Records show that Steve Sells was \u2018extremely hostile\u2019 in meeting about the allegations, but agreed with his wife to co-operate, taking his granddaughter to a doctor and dietician several times. In November the DCS moved to dismiss the case, Indystar.com reports, due to lack of evidence. Third suspect: Crystal Sells, 21, has been charged with seven counts of battery, confinement and neglect targeting her mentally-disabled 16-year-old niece living with Crystal's parents . But a report landed on their doormat again the following October claiming that the pair were keeping the girl prisoner in her room for days at a time without food and denying her access to a toilet. The family claimed that the girl was being kept locked up for her own safety. In November 2011 the DCS closed its investigation, saying that it didn\u2019t have enough evidence to prosecute the family. Last December the girl was taken to St. Vincent Hospital in Anderson covered in feces and so thin that police said bone were protruding from her skin. She was then flown to Peyton Manning Children's Hospital in Indianapolis in critical condition. In January Crystal Sells was arrested on seven counts of battery, confinement and aiding/inducing or causing the neglect of a dependent causing serious bodily injury. Investigators say Sells played a major role in the abuse targeting her special-needs niece. The arrest came a month after Steve Sells and his wife Joetta were charged with neglect.

Hodgson believes that the Liverpool midfielder, who takes on Manchester United on Sunday and is tipped to take over the captaincy from Steven Gerrard next season, is only a step away from becoming an exceptional player, with the England manager delighted at Henderson's progress after he was lambasted for picking Henderson for Euro 2012.

If he starts to add goals as well, then you're talking about someone who is exceptional.' Henderson has scored some crucial goals for Liverpool, including the winner at Swansea . Henderson (right) in training as Liverpool prepare to take on rivals Manchester United on Sunday . And though Hodgson hopes that Henderson does succeed Steven Gerrard as Liverpool captain, he says it won't make any difference to his role in the England team, where he is already considered one of the senior players. 'If Brendan does make him captain, great and we'll all be happy. If he doesn't it won't affect his leadership qualities as far as I'm concerned. He's in our leadership group. He'll still be someone who needs to take on leadership responsibilities when he comes to England. If he does that, coming as Wayne Rooney does, as captain of his club team, that's great.

Chillingly Jan Cocheret, who flies a Boeing 777 for Emirates airlines warned: 'I hope I never find myself in the situation where I go to the toilet and return to find a cockpit door that won't open.' Mr Cocheret was writing for Dutch flying magazine Piloot en Vliegtuig (Pilot and Plane) where he expressed his fears. His article warned that someone could use the security procedures introduced in the aftermath of the 9/11 atrocities to prevent an aircraft's captain re-entering the flight deck after a rest break. French prosecutors have determined that Andreas Lubitz waited for his captain to leave the flight deck before disabiling key pad controlling access to the cockpit. He then selected an altitude of 96 feet on the aircraft's flight computer before setting it on its collision course with the Alps. Investigators revealed that the aircraft's captain Patrick Sondenheimer can be heard banging on the cockpit door urging his colleague to open up until the jet hits the Alps at more than 400 miles per hour. Audio leading up to the crash revealed that Captain Sondenheimer had complained that he did not have enough time to use the toilet while the aircraft was on the ground in Barcelona. As soon as the aircraft achieved its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet, Captain Sondenheimer can be heard leaving the cockpit. As soon as the door closed behind him, Lubitz flicked a switch which disabled the keypad on the cabin side of the door for five minutes and initiated his descent. The door lock override is switched off after five minutes as an additional safety measure in case the flight crew become incapacitated.

Williams, 55, is currently suspended from NBC without pay as a team investigates claims he lied in reports about the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina, among others. But prior to the suspension he had agreed to a five-year anchor deal with Nightly News after being persuaded into it with a gift of veteran broadcaster Edward R Murrow's old desk. Brian Williams agreed to a five-year contract after being persuaded by NBC News President Deborah Turness, who gifted him with veteran broadcaster Edward R Murrow's old writing desk . And few years ago, Williams told NBC Universal CEO Steve Burke that he wanted to take over the Tonight Show from Jay Leno. Burke turned down Williams's idea and instead offered him a weekly program called Rock Center, which Williams hoped could evolve into a variety show. Instead, the show ended up mirroring 60 minutes and it was canceled after two seasons, according to New York Magazine. Williams pushed on, however, and went to CBS CEO Les Moonves to suggest succeeding David Letterman. Moonves wasn't interested, sources told New York Magazine. Williams then had to be convinced through lengthy negotiations to become a news anchor by NBC News president Deborah Turness. Though they first clashed - because Williams was used to having the final say over a show's content - the pair eventually warmed to one another. Brian Williams suggested succeeding both Jay Leno (left) and David Letterman (right). CEOs from NBC and CBS turned down his offers . Williams sent Turness a note over the holidays that read, '2015 is going to be our year together', according to New York Magazine. He went on to agree to a new five-year anchor deal, during the same dinner Turness presented him with Murrow's old writing desk. She had found the 1940s desk through a Los Angeles-based antique dealer. And less than two months later, Williams was publicly shamed for a backlog of fictional stories and executives struggled with how to deal with the situation. This comes just after speculations that Katie Couric might be is in talks NBC's incoming chairman Andrew Lack to make a return by replacing Williams on the Nightly News. 'It makes sense (that she could come back) because she is so closely associated with the brand,' a source told the New York Daily News. Lack 'has not made up his mind' as to whether or not Williams will return when his six-month suspension is up, according to New York Magazine's sources. A 'close friend' of Williams said the the magazine, however, that the anchor 'can't wait until he can speak', which he can't do publicly until his suspension ends.", "summary": "Williams was turned down by both NBC Universal CEO and CBS CEO .

+{"article": "The EU is set to lift a ban on imports of chicken from the United States which are washed with a suspect acid disinfectant. American producers routinely wash raw chicken following slaughter with a substance called peroxyacetic acid (PAA) to remove harmful bacteria. The practice has been banned in Britain and Europe for many years because of a determination to remove harmful bugs at source, rather than using disinfectants to clean up carcasses. There are also concerns that reliance on these washes could put consumers at risk by playing a part in the creation of superbugs. However, the European Commission has signalled that it plans to lift the ban following pressure from the American government and US chicken producers. The EU has lifted a ban on U.S. chickens which are washed in an acid it is feared helps cause superbugs . The proposal has alarmed consumer groups, who say it is at odds with European policy, which has been designed to remove harmful bacteria from the birds on farms, rather than relying on disinfectants. Just last week, the chef and food campaigner, Jamie Oliver, warned that Britain and Europe risk importing inferior food from the USA under a new free trade deal called TTIP. Campaigners say the changes being planned to allow chicken washed with PAA are exactly the sort of thing that will become more common under the TTIP regime. Mute Schimpf, food campaigner for Friends of the Earth Europe, said: \u2018The EU\u2019s approach to food safety is under attack, even before any trade deal with the US is agreed. \u2018Despite repeated denial from the EU and national governments, the pressure is increasing to allow more imports of factory farmed meat rinsed in disinfectants. The EU must take a clear stand and ban all imports of meat produced in this way, and show the public that it is not caving in to US trade interests.\u2019 Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has warned lowering standards risks allowing poor-quality US food into the British market . In the past, EU national governments have blocked moves by the European Commission to approve imports of \u2018chlorinated chicken\u2019 from the USA \u2013 chicken cleaned with a chlorine and water wash to kill bugs. This was done as a precaution and because it could mask poor hygiene standards, as well as harm the health of workers in abattoirs and lead to pollution. Consumer groups argue that these same safeguards should be applied to the use of PAA and imports of chicken cleaned with the disinfectant. The European consumer organisation BEUC insists that health and safety should be put ahead of a desire to improve trade relations with the US. It said: \u2018As the EU and the US are engaged into talks for a free trade agreement, we look to EU authorities not to let their decision driven solely by trade considerations but to put food safety and consumer protection first.\u2019 BEUC said allowing the use of these chemical treatments opens the door to lower hygiene standards on farms and in slaughterhouses.

Scientists have shown that peacocks shake their tails when displaying (stock image) to make a noise that is too low for us to hear. Male birds may make the infrared rumble to scare off an approaching rival or to attract a mate across dusty scrub land, the study claims . Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, have shown that the birds make infrasound noises - below 20 hertz - using their tails and that other peacocks respond to them. Most humans hear noises between 20 and 20,000 hertz. Dr James Hare noticed a peacock displaying and shaking its tail at a wall in a zoo, which he noted looked like a satellite dish and made him question whether the bird was listening to itself, BBC Earth reported. This sparked a study, leading him and graduate student Angela Freeman to record the sound of 46 peacocks shaking their feathers while displaying. Male and female peacocks became more alert and moved around when the low noises were played back to them by researchers, with males (stock image) shrieking out . Charles Darwin first suggested that a peacock\u2019s train serves to attract females and studies have since shown that females tend to prefer males with the most exaggerated male characteristics. Amotz Zahavi said the train indicates a male\u2019s fitness. Males with impressive trains have been shown to be healthier, suggesting that the ornament indicates a male\u2019s ability to survive. His \u2018handicap principle\u2019 says that since males with particularly brightly coloured or large plumes will attract the attention of predators, they must be extra fit to survive. Females are thought to choose mates with good genes, so males with more exaggerated sexual characteristics, such as a big train, tend to have better genes in a peahen\u2019s eyes. Marion Petrie tested whether the displays signal a male\u2019s generic quality by studying a feral population of peafowl in Whipsnade Wildlife Park in England. She found the number of eyespots in the train predicted a male's mating success and that she could manipulate a male\u2019s chances of mating success by cutting off some of his eyespot tail feathers. In the experiment, females lost interest in pruned males and became attracted to untrimmed ones. Furthermore, chicks fathered by males with impressive trains weighed more than those sired by less ornamented birds. Humans hear a rustling sound when this happens, but the experts found that the birds hear a loud sound of between 70 and 108 decibels, according to the study published in the journal Animal Behaviour.

+{"article": "Experts have abandoned an eight-day vigil for a wakeup call from the robot lander Philae, but remained hopeful the scout will revive as it rides on a comet nearing the Sun. Monitoring for the lander, which has been hibernating since November, will resume next month, the mission said. 'Perhaps it is still too cold for the Philae lander to wake up on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko,' the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) said in a blog posted by the European Space Agency (ESA). ESA scientists have renewed efforts to contact the Philae lander on Comet 67p, shown in the illustration above . 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\u2013Gerasimenko 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 1 metre (40 inches) 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. Scientists recently said that water on the comet was different to that on Earth - suggesting water on our world came from an asteroid, not a comet. 'Maybe its power resources are not yet sufficient to send a signal to the team at the DLR Lander Control Center.' There has been no news of Philae for more than four months. That was when the battery ran down on the 100-kilogram (220-pound) lab after it bumped down in a rugged, shadowed part of the comet. Philae had just enough juice to carry out a 54-hour roster of core experiments before going into shutdown mode. The hope is that as the comet races towards the Sun, more light will bathe the probe's solar panels, enabling it to power up again and resume work. Its mother ship Rosetta sent down Philae on November 12 after a 10-year trek around the Solar System. It began to listen out for signals on March 12 as it launched a schedule of orbital swoops around the spot where Philae is believed to have landed. But there was only silence, and at 0400 GMT on Friday, Rosetta's communication unit was switched off, the ESA blog said. 'It was a very early attempt,' said DLR Project Manager Stephan Ulamec. 'We will repeat this process until we receive a response from Philae. We have to be patient.' Engineers saw an early chance in March when comet and lander were about 300 million kilometers (187 million miles) from the Sun, and the amount of solar radiation had nearly doubled compared to November.

They reveal waiting times for scans are at their highest in seven years, there is an 'unacceptable' postcode lottery in treatment and how Britain spends far less on new drugs than elsewhere in the Western world. Today the NHS will also announce which life-extending medications will be axed from its Cancer Drugs Fund because they are too expensive. Avastin, which is used for bowel and ovarian cancers, is one of the drugs at risk of being cut . Meanwhile GPs in the South of England have complained that NHS managers are delaying patients from having cancer tests to meet waiting times targets. As MPs warned that cancer care on the NHS had been 'diluted' and was 'going backwards', a string of reports revealed how: . \u00f7 A total of 18,740 patients in January waited longer than six weeks for tests to diagnose cancer. The figure from Public Health England represents a 40 per cent increase in a year and the highest number since February 2008. \u00f7 There is 'unacceptable' and 'unexplained' variation in cancer detection and treatment across England \u2013 particularly for the elderly. \u00f7 Evidence emerged showing the NHS spends less on new cancer treatments than the US, Spain, Germany and Scotland. The report by data analysts blamed NICE, the medications rationing body, for turning down too many drugs which are not deemed 'cost-effective'. Not all the patients waiting for screening, such as CT scans, X-rays and ultrasounds, will have cancer. However, it is crucial diagnosis happens as quickly as possible so any tumours found can be removed or treated before they spread. Labour MP Margaret Hodge, who is chairman of the committee, said that despite the increasing numbers being diagnosed with cancer, the money being ploughed into the services had declined . Britain has one of the worst cancer survival rates in Europe and this has partly been blamed on late diagnosis as well as lack of availability of effective treatments. A report by the Public Accounts Committee warned of a postcode lottery in cancer detection and treatment across England. MPs were particularly concerned about the care for older patients \u2013 the group most at risk of cancer \u2013 who are often denied chemotherapy or surgery as they are thought to be too frail.

Poaching is not uncommon in African parks, but rangers at Garamba have made a worrying discovery - the ivory is helping fund the LRA's war. Scroll down for video . Murdered: Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army is responsible for the slaughter of elephants in Garamba National Park . The poaching of elephants at Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo is increasing at an unprecedented rate . Sasha Lezhnev, associate director of policy at the Enough Project, an organisation which works to end genocide and crimes against humanity, this month interviewed an LRA defector. Speaking to MailOnline, he said: 'It is very concerning the LRA are selling tusks to fund their operations. 'The elephant population in the Central African Republic parks and Garamba could be entirely decimated if the problem continues. In Garamba there are still elephants but poaching really has been on the rise.' Mr Lezhnev, who returned from the DR Congo last week, has learned that a single elephant tusk can be traded for 18,000 bullets. 'They don't need guns, they have plenty of available guns, it's really bullets they need,' he added. 'It takes only one bullet to kill an elephant.' The LRA - a violent rebel group led by Kony - is renowned for being one of the most brutal forces in the world.

A British company has invented the world's first lifeguard drone - which could soon replace the human lifesavers on a beach near you. The drones, carrying cameras and rubber rings, can be sent out by lifeguards from the shore, and can allegedly rescue drowning holiday makers quicker than humans, who'd have to battle through the waves. Amin Rigi, 28, co-founder of RTS Ideas, launched the business in Iran but has moved to London after gaining start-up support and will present a prototype next month. Complete with lights and thermal cameras for night rescues, the drones could appear on holiday beaches in time for summer, even aiding with rescues of ships and yachts in trouble. 'At the moment many people talk about bad drones and drones that are spying and killing people but I think everything has a good side and a bad side,' said Rigi. Pamela Anderson in 1990s TV show Baywatch: Many fans fondly remember her trademark red swimsuit . 'People should see the good side to drones where they can save lives' he said. 'The drones can reach people stranded at sea far quicker than lifeguards and can deploy three buoyancy aids in one flight.' Rigi and his business partner partner Amir Taheri, 27, hope that one day the drones will be stationed on floating platforms where they can be charged from solar energy. The drones can reach people far quicker than lifeguards and can deploy three buoyancy aids in one flight . 'This is the future of lifeguards I believe,' Rigi said. 'In a competition, we found a lifeguard could perform a rescue in 90 seconds, but the drone took 20 seconds. That 70 seconds could be the difference between life and death. 'Finding people is hard with rescue teams. Moving in boats, you don't get good vision.But the drones' range and height can spot a drowning person, which is really helpful for ships. Eventually the drones may be stationed on floating platforms where they can be charged from solar energy . 'A rescue team could take 10 to 12 minutes where a drone could take one minute. Basically this increases the efficiency and decreases danger to lifeguards. RTS Ideas, based in Tech City, in Shoreditch, east London, are also hoping to develop a drone that can perform mountain rescues. In one of the UK's main holiday hotspots, Cornwall and Devon, more than 8,500 people were caught up in beach and sea rescue dramas last year. Research showed that a lifeguard could perform a rescue in 90 seconds while the drone took just 20 seconds . The inventors are hoping to decrease the number of people that drown by up to 60 per cent . Perranporth alone had 1,000 incidents, according to the RNLI. 'We haven't any contacts for Cornwall yet but hopefully we can deploy this at beaches in the UK and right around the world,' said Rigi.

On August 15, they began arguing and he slapped her. Over the next few days, he bombarded her Facebook account with about 75 messages, some of them threatening, but she agreed to meet him near B&Q in Grimsby. There he pushed her against a wall and held a razor blade near her face, the court heard.

Green went out to buy some cigarettes and tied a length of cloth from her feet to a gas pipe, as well as two more pieces to attach the knee bindings to the radiator.

Yesterday it emerged that the Prefect of Calais has issued an ultimatum to migrants telling them to remove their belongings and evacuate by the end of the month or be forcibly ejected by riot police. It comes as the Mayor of the port town opened the first purpose built accommodation for migrants since the closure of the notorious Sangatte centre in 2002. Calais officials will begin bulldozing migrant camps around the port city at the end of this month following the opening of a new refugee centre (file image) The Jules Ferry Centre (pictured), currently houses 50 women and children and is preparing to house up to 20 more. The remaining 1,930 immigrants will be housed on wasteland next to it . Yesterday around 50 women and children became the first residents of the purpose-built Jules Ferry Centre with plans to accommodate up to 20 more.

The land is owned by a chemical company Tioxide who succeeded in securing an eviction notice on the migrants last summer. But since then the police have failed to move them on and the area has become blighted by rubbish and roughly improvised shelters causing fury among local French residents. It is estimated that there are around 2,000 men, women and children sleeping rough in the town hoping to cross the channel into the UK. Natacha Bouchart, the mayor of Calais, hopes the centre will allow authorities to get a grip on the situation which has plagued her town for months . Once cleared from their existing camps the migrants will be moved to an area of wasteland alongside the Jules Ferry site. The town mayor Natacha Bouchart hopes the measure will help the authorities to gain control over the town\u2019s chaotic migrant population and limit the influence of the people smugglers who exploit the desperation of those living in the filthy camps.

Out on the left wing against Queens Park Rangers, where he has moved to make way for Mesut Ozil since his return from injury, he cut a frustrated figure for much of the game. But when he started making runs through the middle, testing Queens Park Rangers defenders and putting them on the back foot with his pace, the chances came. After 70 minutes, that was rewarded with a wonderful individual goal. Alexis Sanchez takes on young Queens Park Rangers defender Darnell Furlong at Loftus Road . Mesut Ozil, voted Arsenal's player of the month for February, holds off the challenge of Nedum Onuoha . The talk ahead of kick-off was that Sanchez simply does not perform as well when Ozil is on the pitch. In the first 45 minutes, they exchanged the ball a total of three times.

+{"article": "Four years after undergoing brain surgery, American JB Holmes has a golden opportunity to put the seal on his heartening recovery by claiming the biggest title of his career on Sunday. The huge-hitting Kentucky native served notice he was bang in form when he opened up the WGC-Cadillac Championship here with a startling round of 62 \u2013 described by Johnny Miller on American television on Saturday as one of the great rounds of the last 20 years. It seemed to catch up with Holmes when he put four balls into the water on Friday and started with an ugly three putt from just 5ft at the first hole of his third round. JB Holmes acknowledges the crowd after making a hole-in-one during Saturday's round . Holmes, who leads the WGC-Cadillac Championship by five shots, had brain surgery four years ago . For the first time since Thursday he did not own the lead outright and, with players of the calibre of Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson and Masters champion Bubba Watson lurking, there were fears he would fall back still further. But the 32 year old showed commendable resolve to put that opening hole mistake behind him and play wonderfully patient golf thereafter to finish up with a 70 on Saturday and establish a commanding five shot advantage. With Johnson and Watson his nearest pursuers, Holmes won\u2019t be spending the mammoth \u00a31.25 million first prize just yet. But the manner in which he finished off his round, with four birdies in a row from the 14th hole, augurs well for his chances. Lee Westwood is best placed of the Brits in 8th place but a long way off the pace, at eight shots behind. Rory McIlroy is no fewer than 11 strokes adrift and admitted he had little to play for but a top five finish in the final round. The big-hitting Holmes looks delighted after becoming the second man to ace the 14th in 30 minutes . After a difficult start on Saturday Holmes remained patient to hold onto his lead going into the final round . \u2018I felt like I hit it a little better but my iron play is still not as sharp as I would like it to be,\u2019 said the world No 1. An unusually wet and windy third round made it tough for the players, with only Johnson (69) managing to break 70 among the last 12 groups. Yet there were a remarkable number of perfect shots played. Take the par three fourth, a hole so long and difficult there hadn\u2019t been a hole in one there for 26 years. Yet on this day, almost unbelievably, there were two in the space of 30 minutes, as first Johnson holed his tee shot, to be followed by the leader himself shortly afterwards. He might have had an ace but Holmes would get to the 14th without a birdie on his card. At that point, however, he broadened his shoulders and put together his brilliant finish that has left the tournament as one for him to win or lose", "summary": "American big-hitter JB Holmes leads WGC-Cadillac Championship .

Heart attack victims can enjoy a healthy recovery if they look on the bright side of life, research found. Pessimists who grumble through life were twice as likely to suffer another heart attack, require surgery or even die, compared with more cheerful patients. That is according to a group of scientists at University College London who spent four years studying the mental attitudes of 369 patients admitted to hospital with unstable angina and heart attacks. While it is widely known that optimism is linked to better heart health, this is the first study to look at the impact of a patient\u2019s attitude after suffering a heart attack. The team said their findings could be linked to physical and psychological impacts of being optimistic, such as smoking and healthy eating. Smoking has long been known to be a major risk factor for heart attack and angina, with an estimated 22,000 deaths each year from cardiovascular disease linked to smoking. And this study showed that half of the most pessimistic patients who smoked were still smoking on year after going into hospital. By contrast, 85 per cent of optimistic smokers kicked the habit entirely. Positive patients are also more likely to aid their recovery by eating more fruit and vegetables after their incident \u2013 some 40 per cent of them ate the recommended five-a-day, compared with just 20 per cent of pessimists. However, the study did find that optimistic patients were no more likely to do more exercise than pessimists. Lead author of the research, Professor Steptoe, said: \u2018Our research shows that optimistic people are more likely to take advice about lifestyle changes on board, like quitting smoking and eating more healthily \u2013 this results in better outcomes after a patient suffers from unstable angina or a heart attack. In the UK, 2.3 million people are living with coronary heart disease, the major cause of heart attacks and unstable angina . \u2018Our findings could be used to identify pessimistic patients and encourage them to make the necessary changes to their lifestyle that can ultimately lead to better health.\u2019 Dr Mike Knapton, associate medical director of the British Heart Foundation, added: \u2018Suffering from a serious condition like angina or heart attack can take a drastic emotional toll, which we know can lead to depression, further lowering the chances of a full recovery after a heart attack. \u2018If you\u2019re living with a heart condition and struggling to cope, we would urge you to contact your GP who can put you in touch with the necessary support.\u2019 Depression has also been linked to poor outcomes for heart patients. These findings discovered that pessimistic patients were twice as likely to have depressive symptoms a year after suffering a heart attack or unstable angina.

The wide-ranging study also showed that going to a decent nursery, reading for pleasure and attending an outstanding school can boost a disadvantaged pupil's chances of getting good results. Taking part in school trips and getting into a daily homework routine can also help them. The research is based on data drawn from more than 3,000 young people who have been tracked from the age of three for the Effective Pre-School, Primary and Secondary Education (EPPSE) project. Researchers found that just a third of bright but disadvantaged students took one of more A-levels facilitating subjects, compared to 58 per cent of their wealthier peers with the same academic ability. Less than a fifth of the poor students followed gained at least a B in these subjects, compared to 41 per cent of their advantaged classmates.

While at Stamford Bridge the little Spaniard with the big heart turned up at the office of a Chelsea supporter to deliver him his new club shirt, and had to persuade the receptionist to let him in. Earlier this year, at a Primary School in the impoverished Wythenshawe area of Manchester, he stunned schoolchildren by arriving unannounced armed with dozens of toys. Juan Mata celebrates after scoring a double against Liverpool at Anfield, when Manchester United needed him . Mata's second goal in particular was superb, and showed why United spent so much money on him . The little Spaniard put United ahead in the first half with a tidy finish following an Ander Herrera pass . But United fans have had to wait until now, 14 months after David Moyes paid Chelsea \u00a337m for his services, for him to deliver on the pitch. Why has it taken so long? There is mitigation. Mata's joyous arrival coincided with the miserable final throes of Moyes regime. When the ship is sinking it is hard to dance the tango in the ballroom. Then came Louis van Gaal and a rigid pragmatism the playmaker presumably thought he had escaped when he said farewell to Jose Mourinho. A free spirit, Mata has not been the only one at Old Trafford to take time to digest the platter the Dutchman demands. Van Gaal was quick to take praise following what feels like a seismic 2-1 win in Liverpool, proudly stating that he had now found a position for a man who will never be anything other than a number 10 in a number eight shirt. Mata is beginning to repay the faith shown by Manchester United's fans, who have stuck by him . Louis van Gaal claimed a tactical masterstroke, but he was really only playing Mata in his obvious position . When he arrived at David Moyes' United, Mata was trying to bring momentum to a losing team . The playmaker was allowed to leave Chelsea because Jose Mourinho didn't rate his defensive contributions . But a look at Van Gaal's record would suggest that, given time, he gets it right. Now the same can be said of Mata, although 14 goals in his last 32 appearances would suggest not much was wrong with the 26-year-old in the first place. The statistics show that his talents have ever been in doubt. Since his arrival at Chelsea in 2011, no midfielder has a better joint total of goals and assists in the Premier League. Mata has 65 (31 goals and 34 assists), ahead of compatriot David Silva who has 61 (26 and 35) for United's cross-town rivals despite having played a season more in England. Majestic in the 3-0 romp over Spurs, Mata was at it again at Anfield. His first was provided by another new arrival with a point to prove.

Cessnock, about two hours north of Sydney, slipped in at number 10 on TripAdvisor's list ahead of one of Australia's most popular tourist attractions - the Gold Coast in Queensland.

In stark contrast, the Gold Coast pulls in a whopping 12million tourists each year to visit the variety of theme parks and sunny beaches it is so well known for.

Hobart and Adelaide came in at sixth and ninth respectively - leaving just Darwin and Perth the only remaining capital cities not to make into the fave locations.

It comes as no surprise that arguably Australia's most famous capital city, Sydney, was ranked number one .

Brisbane was ranked number three for being the hub of Queensland culture both past and present . The other attractions in Cessnock mentioned on the site aside from the abundant vineyards are 'world-class golf courses, gourmet eateries, lush gardens and blissful spas'. Gold Coast Tourism chief executive Martin Winter said he was 'absolutely' surprised that the Gold Coast did not make the list. 'We dismiss the illicit comment outright,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 'It's pretty clear that this is sample is flawed and even though consumers make independent comment that doesn't have anything to do with the overall attractiveness of the destination.

After Andy Murray had earlier eased through to the fourth round, the World No 3 floated limply away on the brisk Florida breeze, desperately inconsistent in going down 6-4 2-6 6-3 defeat to World No 34 Fernando Verdasco. He was in decent company because another top player in Murray\u2019s half of the draw, Stan Wawrinka, also perished. The 27 year-old Scot is the survivor on that side after a comfortable 6-3 6-4 victory over Colombia\u2019s Santiago Giraldo, and he now meets South African Kevin Anderson. Rafael Nadal was sent out of the Miami Open in the third round by Fernando Verdasco in three sets . Nadal (left) shakes the hand of Verdasco after defeat to his compatriot knocked him out of the Miami Open . Verdasco rarely looked threatened by Nadal, whose season has hit a new low after the defeat . Nadal has a lot of thinking to do following his defeat to 31 year-old left-hander Verdasco, who had only beaten him once in fourteen previous meetings. Only when the challenger seemed to get flustered after missing an early break in the second set was the French Open champion able to assert his normal superiority. The former World No 1 was troubled with wrist, back problems and appendicitis that caused him to miss much of last season\u2019s second half. But he has played a full schedule in 2015, in which he has only reached one final, winning the relatively low-key ATP clay event last month in Buenos Aires. The question is whether the constant strains on his body are finally catching up with him at 28, although he has stuttered before at this time of year before coming storming back on the European clay, where has been undisputed king for 10 years. Once he had reeled in the second set the expectation was that Verdasco might fade, but after a long toilet break he reasserted himself and found that Nadal\u2019s was in generous mood. Nadal struggled to generate his best shots from his traditionally formidable forehand . The 28-year-old Nadal was unable to exploit any potential nerves that could have been felt by Verdasco . Nadal could not build on winning the second set and was beaten 6-3 in the third as Verdasco secured the win . His feared forehand was particularly awry, and whole movement less assured than usual, never able to take advantage of his opponent\u2019s potential nerves. Nadal maintained afterwards that he was unconcerned about his body, and that it was more an issue of his confidence being low: 'The physical problems are past. I am in competition. I'm playing weeks in a row, it is not an excuse,' he said. 'I don't have this self confidence that when I hit the ball I\u2019m going to hit the ball where I want to hit it, to go for the ball running and knowing that my position will be the right", "summary": "Rafael Nadal lost 6-4 2-6 6-3 to compatriot Fernando Verdasco .

Ahead of the curtain raiser, Phil Duncan assesses the sport's hot topics... So, it looks like Lewis Hamilton is going to waltz to back-to-back titles\u2026 . There\u2019s no question that Mercedes are set to pick up in 2015 where they left off last year. Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg clocked up more miles than any of their rivals over the winter, and they were the quickest, too. Hamilton won 11 of the 19 races last year, and you fancy if he sorts out his performances in qualifying, he\u2019ll be tough to beat.

Hamilton\u2019s popped up at a host of celeb parties over the winter\u2026 Is there any danger he\u2019s taken his eye off the ball? The reigning champion has helped to raise F1\u2019s profile away from the track after attending a number of showbiz functions during the off-season. From the Paris catwalk to the red carpet at the BRITs, Hamilton's never been far from the limelight. His high-profile split from Nicole Scherzinger has hit the headlines, too. But the Briton, now somewhat of the elder statesman on the grid having celebrated his 30th birthday at the turn of the year, appears to have adopted a new-found maturity in recent times, and his desire to match Ayrton Senna\u2019s feat of three world titles appears to be his sole focus heading into the new campaign. At least, he's telling us that anyway. Hamilton poses in his Mercedes overalls on Thursday as he prepares to defend his world championship . Rosberg, posing for pictures with fans on Thursday, will renew his title battle with team-mate Hamilton . So, what can Rosberg do to stop him? Rosberg out-qualified Hamilton 12-7 last term, but his race displays left much to be desired; indeed he converted just three of his 11 poles into victories in 2014. If the German sorts out his race pace, he\u2019ll give Hamilton a run for his money. At 3-1 with some bookmakers, he\u2019s certainly worth a punt. And what about the rest of the grid? Williams, powered by Mercedes once more, are set to be Hamilton and Rosberg\u2019s nearest challengers. Valtteri Bottas was one of the stand-out performers last term, and his team-mate Felipe Massa is among the most experienced out there. Ferrari, boosted by the arrival of Sebastian Vettel from Red Bull, have seemingly turned a corner in pre-season testing and look primed to bounce back from two years in the doldrums. Daniel Ricciardo, the only non-Mercedes driver to win a race last year, should be confident after a number of impressive displays in 2014, but his Renault-powered Red Bull still lacks what it takes to challenge Hamilton and Rosberg on a consistent basis.

The treatment \u2013 known only by its experimental name of XAF5 \u2013 has been shown to significantly reduce bags under the eyes. Its makers say it could also be used to dissolve double chins and even be employed on the body, particularly on stomach fat.

The trial was double-blind and placebo-controlled, meaning that neither the participants nor the researchers knew which patients belonged to the control group or the test group. Bags were graded on a four-point scale, and in ratings given by independent doctors, just under half of those using XAF5 were found to have improved by one full grade in both eyes, with some seeing a two-grade improvement. Dr Michael Singer, Topokine\u2019s chief scientific officer, said: \u2018A one-grade improvement may sound small, but it is a meaningful change. Participants said they felt they looked more youthful, more attractive and more well rested after treatment.\u2019 Eye bags, or steatoblepharon, are fat pads under the eye socket that bulge forwards. Although numerous factors, including lack of sleep and allergies, can lead to fluid accumulation in these tissues, they are typically a permanent part of the facial structure. Their appearance worsens with age as the ligaments holding the pads in place soften. When applied, XAF5 is absorbed through the skin and into fat tissue. It binds to receptors on the surface of fat cells, causing them to expel their oil contents, reducing their size. It also prevents new fat cells from forming. The makers of the cream say it could also be used to dissolve double chins and even be employed on the body, particularly on stomach fat. File photo . The ointment\u2019s active ingredient \u2013 a compound known as a prostaglandin \u2013 was initially developed as a treatment for glaucoma, or high pressure in the eyeball, given as eye drops. However, while testing the drug, doctors noticed that fat around they eyes began to disappear within weeks \u2013 called prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy, or PAP. However, as well as losing their eye bags, some patients also developed deeper or \u2018sunken\u2019 eyes. Previously, PAP has been seen as an unwanted side effect of a different prostaglandin used in another prescription-only cosmetic cream Latisse, which causes the eyelashes to grow. In rare cases, the drug also causes irreversible brown pigment to appear in the eye. But Dr Singer said that XAF5 was a different type of prostaglandin, and trials had seen \u2018no effects on the eye, including iris hyperpigmentation\u2019.

Ten days later, with \u00a310,000 loaned by her brothers, Carole signed up the Bobtons girls and Premier was born. A week after that, Eileen Ford, the tough doyennne of the New York modelling world, swept into the office to take a look at the new upstart agency, and suggested they do business. \u2018It was like meeting Maggie Thatcher\u2019, Carole recalls. \u2018Her hair was honey-blonde and stiff and she was very straight-talking . . . We were officially on our way.\u2019 The Eighties saw the rise of the supermodel, and, with Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell on its books, Premier was \u2018really rocking\u2019. In 1990, after Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz appeared together on the cover of British Vogue, Premier brokered the deal for the models to appear in George Michael\u2019s \u2018Freedom\u2019 video, in which they lip-synched the lyrics. It wasn\u2019t all glamour, though. \u2018Those top girls could be difficult\u2019, Carole recalls. \u2018They liked to test people to see if they could magic up whatever crazy request they might have that day/hour/second . . . I saw it as a challenge.\u2019 The list of \u2018challenges\u2019 posed by her supermodels ranged from the truly bizarre, including peremptory demands for sex toys, llama curry and an urgent supply of \u2018special green candles from Tibet that were something to do with a witch doctor that had special energy\u2019, to the mundane: persuading them to get out of", "summary": "Carol White is the co-founder of Premier Model Management .

+{"article": "The number of mortgages being approved to home buyers is increasing as borrowers take advantage of the ultra-low rates on offer, according to a high street banking report. Some 37,305 mortgages were approved for house purchase in February with a collective value of \u00a36.2billion, marking a 2 per cent increase on the previous month, the British Bankers' Association (BBA) said. While the number of house purchase approvals is still 20 per cent lower than a year ago, early 2015 is seeing a higher demand for mortgages than the levels seen towards the end of last year, the BBA said. Some 37,305 mortgages were approved for house purchase in February with a collective value of \u00a36.2billion . Meanwhile, in further signs of growing consumer confidence, the annual growth in people's borrowing on personal loans, overdrafts and credit cards is continuing to increase at its fastest rate since 2008, at 4.4 per cent. The BBA also said that deposit levels with high street banks saw slow growth in February, which could be partly due to the popularity of the Government's recently-launched, market-beating 'pensioner bonds'. Richard Woolhouse, chief economist at the BBA, said: 'The increase in mortgage approvals is welcome news and a sign that the housing market is beginning to improve. 'We're seeing stronger demand for mortgages as consumers take advantage of some of the very competitive deals currently available. 'Demand for loans and other types of personal borrowing is rising at its fastest rate since the financial crisis. Consumers are feeling increasingly confident about buying big ticket items, such as cars or home improvements, as the recovery really begins to take hold. The British Bankers' Association (BBA) have said the increase is 'welcome news' 'Personal deposits grew very slowly as alternative savings vehicles remain attractive, particularly the new pensioner bond.' Lending to non-financial companies fell by \u00a3200million, with growth in manufacturing, transport, storage and communication offset by net repayments from the construction, accommodation and food services and the wholesale and retail sectors, the BBA said. Matthew Pointon, a property economist at Capital Economics, said: 'The recovery in mortgage lending reflects a very favourable economic backdrop. 'Mortgage rates are at record lows, and fewer households now expect a rise in rates within the next year. The reform to stamp duty has also increased most buyers' purchasing power. And that boost to affordability has been accompanied by further improvements in the labour market. 'Real earnings are finally rising, unemployment is falling, and the employment rate has reached record highs. That should all act to boost the mortgage market.' Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said the BBA's mortgage figures reinforce his belief 'that the housing market is now gradually turning around after weakening during much of 2014'. Mark Harris, chief executive of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients, said low mortgage rates are likely to be around for a while yet.

The price is nearly the same as the $43,938 undergraduate tuition at Harvard (that's not including room and board). The ten-hour flight cards offered by Magellan Jets, a company that provides private travel services, also include perks like car services to transport clients to and from each campus. In its second year of running the offer, the company said last year 18 people purchased the cards, and each made around three or four college visits in one day. Families can pay $43,500 to have a private jet help their college hopeful make multiple college visits into a short period of time (above file photo) This year, they are expecting 50 buyers of the package, which is offered from March 25 - June 30, a Magellan spokeswoman told CNBC. 'There is a little bit of a misconception with private jets that it's all glitz and glamour, but the real reason people use them is productivity and efficiency,' Greg Belezerian, vice president at Magellan told MarketWatch. 'This is a tool that our clients use in order to be more efficient. I know that might sound weird, but that's really why they're using it.' While data from last year revealed that over the past three decades the average tuition at a public four-year college had more than tripled, most families are likely looking at financial aid options before considering splurging on a chartered jet to visit campuses. But for those who can afford to dish out the money, Magellan said its college tour service was created as a way to help alleviate the stress that often comes with campus visits, according to CNN Money. Belezerian said the idea came from clients who were already using their services for college tours so they just met the demand. Last year, he told Business Insider that through the service, a student can visit up to eight campuses in different cities in one weekend. He said they were able to take one student to visit Northwestern, Duke, and Syracuse in one day. This year they have already taken a few clients on tours. Greg Belezerian, a vice president at Magellan, said there is a misconception with private jets being all 'glitz and glamour' but that the real reason people use them is for efficiency (above students on a college tour at Saint Michael's College) The company organizes a flight schedule based on the schools a client wants to visit, then sets up the car services, while some times even coordinating private tours of college towns with local chauffeurs. If a family using the service cannot fit in all of the schools they wanted to visit using the ten-hour card, they have to purchase additional cards. Following each visit, their client is given a notepad from each college they toured so they can write their feedback.

My Bed became notorious when it was shortlisted for the Turner Prize and displayed at Tate Britain in 1999 . Emin admitted that unlike the chaotic-looking installation, which features empty vodka bottles, cigarette butts, stained sheets and discarded underwear, her bed at home is now a different affair. 'I make my bed every day. It's so boring, it's very neat. I'm really OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder),' she said.

'I'm 52 nearly. Even though I was quite old when the bed came into fruition I didn't look old or behave old,' she said. 'I'm a bit tearful, it means a lot to me. I feel pathetic but there are things on that bed that have no place in my life any more. 'That bed belonged to a young woman and hopefully in 20 or 30 years' time the bed will be here but I won't probably. 'That's what art's about. It's about a legacy, about making something which goes on without you. 'It's a statement of history and now it's in safe hands ... it will never change.'

Emin said she felt validated seeing the installation on display alongside works by some of Britain's 'greats' after all the criticism about the bed at the time.

They tell of how she joined the suffragettes in 1906, how she criss-crossed southern England and set up camp in the East End of London on her mission to win for 'Votes for Women', and how she helped see through the suffragettes' partial victory in 1918 \u2013 when women were allowed to vote from the age of 30 \u2013 and the full victory in 1928, when the age limit was lowered to 21, the same as for men.

Parents have spoken out about the overzealous measures, suggesting the children should be given the chance to see the phenomenon - but the school says the protective glasses are not suitable for children under ten. Ban: New Machar school in Aberdeenshire, above, will not allow children to watch the eclipse on Friday . In Mr Rooke's letter, he wrote: 'It is with disappointment that I need to advise you that we will no longer be purchasing the solar eclipse glasses and viewing the eclipse as a school. 'This is after further careful consideration of the health and safety advice, alongside guidance from Aberdeenshire Council's Health and Safety colleagues. 'Clearly the school will never take any risks around pupil safety and wellbeing. I do hope you understand my decision.' Staring directly at an eclipse carries the risk of permanent damage or even blindness unless specialist lenses or devices are used. Although the moon is expected to block out 98 per cent of the sun's light, even staring at the remainder of it for too long can cause irreparable damage to the eye. Mr Rooke referred to an online report which suggested the protective glasses may be too big to be worn securely by children, and that children under ten should only watch the eclipse on TV or with an indirect viewer. The partial solar eclipse is due to take place at 8.45am on Friday, March 20, and will be visible for thousands of kilometres . Parents of the pupils at Newmachar Primary in Aberdeenshire said they were disappointed they would miss out on witnessing the phenomenon, which will not reoccur in Britain until 2026. One parent, Euan Pittendreigh, said: 'It just seems like a little bit too much political correctness. 'I understand that it's for the kids' safety, but if the glasses fit my kids correctly I'd let them see it.' Another father, Derek Mathers, added: 'It's a shame. My daughter Kirsty was looking forward to seeing the eclipse, but the school has got to put safety first really.' Maria Walker, Aberdeenshire Council's director of education and children's services, said: 'Schools will decide individually on activities to watch the eclipse and will do so safely.' The last solar eclipse of a similar size took place on 11 August 1999 and had an eclipse magnitude of 1.029. An eclipse magnitude is the fraction of the sun's diameter obscured by the moon. It is based on a ratio of diameters and differs from an eclipse obscuration, which is a measure of the sun's surface area covered by the moon. The value given is taken at the moment when the eclipse is at is maximum. The maximum of two minutes and 23 seconds of totality for the 1999 eclipse occurred close to Ramnicu Valcea in Romania.

Red-haired Lucy said her pale complexion had prompted speculation that she'd been adopted: 'My classmates used to ask if I was adopted because my siblings are all quite dark. 'It was pretty hard, it went on in secondary school and it wasn't very nice.' When the girls were first born in 1997, their mother Donna had no idea that she could give birth to such different looking twins, described by experts as a one-in-a-million chance. Growing up, the girls said they regularly overheard people asking their mum 'Which one is yours?' or 'Are you the childminder?'. Although most of their friends now know their unique story, they still have to present new acquaintances with photos of their birth certificates to prove they really are twin sisters. 'Our friends do believe us now because we make a big fuss,' says Maria. 'We've got birth certificates. Lucy even had a picture of hers on her Facebook [profile].' As the girls have turned into grown-ups they've tried to find their own style. Lucy, who has naturally curly hair, straightens it to ensure a sleek look.

A British holidaymaker was killed and his bank account plundered after being lured by a woman he met on holiday in Turkey in a 'honeytrap', his parents insisted today. The body of Andrew Smyth, 32, was found dumped in undergrowth four miles away from a nightclub where he had been, and his bank account cleared out through a cash machine. But a coroner in Surrey recorded an open verdict - saying that he understood how the family concluded foul play, but could take the case no further after a four-year investigation. However, Mr Smyth\u2019s family believe his drink was spiked at the nightclub, before he was followed, robbed and murdered. His fully-clothed body was found face down in woodland. He had traces of heroin in his body - possibly from the spiked drink, toxicology tests showed. An inquest at Surrey Coroner's Court in Woking was told that the athletic electrician had flown to Antalya a week earlier for a fortnight\u2019s break at his father and stepmother\u2019s holiday home. His friend flew home after a week but Mr Smyth stayed, going out drinking on a Friday night with a woman he had met at the resort. However, at 3am the following morning, CCTV footage showed him leaving the club - shortly before a series of withdrawals were made from a cash machine, emptying his bank account. Hours later his body was spotted in a forest with no cash in his pockets other than small change. A post-mortem examination found a heroin metabolite, 6-MAM, in Mr Smyth\u2019s body - indicating that the Class A drug had been consumed before his death, in September 2010. Dr Ashley Fegan-Earl, who carried out an autopsy at the Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford once Mr Smyth\u2019s body had been repatriated, could find no evidence of a fight or any injuries. The original post-mortem examination was not carried out for five days. 'What we expected': Mr Smyth pictured with his mother, Celia Armstrong, who said she was 'disappointed' after a coroner returned an open verdict at an inquest into his death . He said the presence of 6-MAM showed that heroin specifically had been present, rather than any other opiates, and he had found water on the lungs - which was consistent with heroin toxicity. Toxicology tests showed he was below the drink-driving limit, with just 55mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, 35mg off the 80mg UK maximum. However the pathologist added that although the signs pointed towards opiate toxicity, given the state of decomposition, he felt unable to establish a cause of death. Dr Fegan-Earl added: \u2018An unusual fact is the location of Andrew\u2019s body, which seems to be at odds with what he was doing, enjoying himself in a club.\u2019 Mr Smyth grew up in Surrey and trained to be an electrician, before relocating to Swindon in Wiltshire, where he took on a new job and dated a number of women.

And now the budget retailer has been told it must drop that claim after selling DVDs and CDs for \u00a32. Today\u2019s ruling by the Advertising Standards Authority is a major blow for the company, which has built its empire on the boast that just \u00a31 can buy anything in its stores. Poundland has been told it must drop the claim 'everything costs \u00a31' after selling DVDs and CDs for \u00a32 . The decision even calls into question whether the budget chain can legitimately continue to call itself \u2018Poundland\u2019.

Poundland defended the breaking of its normal \u00a31 price barrier saying the \u00a32 items were part of a special promotion run at the tills and sold to customers providing they met a minimum spending threshold. The ASA said: \u2018They stated that an average Poundland store stocked approximately 4,000 products and that the \u2018conditional spend\u2019 promotion was created in response to consumer demand. Poundland has become hugely popular with wealthier shoppers after stocking baking products under the name of actress Jane Asher . \u2018In October 2014, Poundland obtained feedback from consumers regarding the promotion and found that a significant proportion agreed that they would buy items from Poundland that cost more than \u00a31, provided they were clearly marked and located in a special place in the shop.\u2019 The company said the stock of \u00a32 DVDs and CDs were on a specific display that was separated from the normal \u00a31 products and there was no chance of shoppers being confused or misled. But that did not satisfy the ASA, which said the claims on the Poundland website suggested that all its products were no more than \u00a31 \u2018regardless of whether or not they were sold via a concession arrangement or as promotional goods\u2019. It added: \u2018Because that was not the case, we concluded that the ad was misleading.\u2019 Significantly, the ASA said: \u2018We told Poundland Ltd that their future advertising must not state or suggest that every item they sold cost \u00a31.\u2019 If this ruling sticks, it will be a heavy blow to one of Britain\u2019s fastest growing retailers.

They only leave their house once a week to go to an empty beach or field, where the kids can run free.

+{"article": "A man who led a Kansas commune that collected millions of dollars in life insurance payouts from dead members was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison for the drowning death of one of them 12 years ago. Daniel Perez, 55, stared straight ahead and showed no emotion as he heard his sentence: a life term for murder in Patricia Hughes' 2003 death at the commune's 20-acre compound near Wichita, another life term on a sexual exploitation of a child conviction, and nearly 34 more years behind bars on 26 other counts, including rape. Perez declined to address the court when given the chance. Convicted: Daniel Perez was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder last month in the 2003 drowning death of Patricia Hughes at the suburban Wichita compound where the commune lived . Sedgwick County District Judge Joseph Bribiesca ordered Perez's sentences to be served consecutively, so he wouldn't be eligible for parole until he is 120 years old, according to prosecutors. 'The evidence conclusively shows that Mr. Perez used people as mere objects to fulfill his desire for money, sex and a lavish lifestyle,' Bribiesca said. 'It is just that he serve the maximum sentence.' Prosecutors say Perez sexually abused the young daughters of commune members and devised a scheme to receive life insurance payments after members died. 'It is clear Mr. Perez was the puppet master,' Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett told the court. During the trial, members of the now-defunct commune talked about how they moved from state to state and to Mexico over a 15-year period before they settled at the elaborate compound near Wichita. They testified about being subjected to sexual violence by Perez and about the deaths of six people. Perez, who went by Lou Castro, was charged only with the death of Hughes, who was 26 when she drowned in the commune's pool. Her death was considered an accident until 2011, when a woman who was 12 when Hughes died told authorities that it had been staged to look accidental. The commune had received $1.24 million from Hughes' life insurance policy. Testimony: During the trial, members of the now-defunct commune talked about being subjected to sexual violence by Perez and about the deaths of six people . Proceedings: Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett looks toward Daniel Perez as Perez is sentenced in Sedgwick District Court on Tuesday . A woman, whom The Associated Press isn't identifying because she says she is the victim of sexual assault, pleaded with the court to give Perez the longest possible sentence so as to 'end this nightmare' and keep him from hurting anybody else. She said 'her childhood was over' at the age of 10, when she says Perez first sexually assaulted her. Another woman told the court she was angry because Perez preyed on people like her mother. The father of another victim asked the court to impose the maximum allowable sentence, saying that would be just. Bennett told reporters after the hearing that the sentence Perez received was appropriate.

But it follows weeks of rumours that the firm is developing a fleet of either electric of self-driving vehicles. Apple first toyed with an in-car system at its Worldwide Developer Conference in 2013. At that point it was known as 'iOS in the Car' but following changes in the design team the system was unveiled at last year's Geneva Motor Show, under the moniker CarPlay. Google used its own annual developer I/O in June to unveil Android Auto, a key feature of its latest operating system Android Lollipop. Android Auto works with any Android Lollipop phone to show information on the dashboard. Google has signed up more than 28 car makers including Abarth, Acura, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Bentley, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jeep, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Ram, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Subaru, Suzuki, Volkswagen and Volvo. The first wave of Android Auto cars are 'coming soon' - expected to launch this year. The first car to be sold with CarPlay was Ferrari's FF in September.

And by 2016 all new Ford models are expected to have Android Auto or CarPlay. 'Many electronic devices include one or more rechargeable batteries that require external power to recharge from time to time, said Apple in the patent. 'Often, these devices may be charged using the same or similar connection type, for example via USB. 'However, despite having common connection types, multiple devices often require separate power supplies with different power outputs. These separate power supplies are burdensome to use, store, and transport from place to place.' Apple added that charging cords are unsafe in certain circumstances including when 'a driver of a vehicle may become distracted attempting to plug an electronic device into a vehicle charger.' Apple's Watch is fitted with a form of inductive charging, for example, but the patent takes this technology a step further. The tech giant proposes an 'adaptive power control system' that can detect the weight or 'load' of the portable device that has been placed on it.

Under proposals being considered by Downing Street, the right-to-buy scheme - currently restricted to families in council owned properties - will be extended to up to 2.5million housing association tenants. David Cameron hopes the 'big door step offer' will sway enough working class voters to earn him a second term as Prime Minister. Since right-to-buy was set up in 1980 by the Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, more than two million council houses have been sold . Under a plan being championed by the Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, housing association tenants will be given the right to buy their homes at a knockdown price. Since right-to-buy was set up in 1980, more than two million council houses have been sold, but current rules make it difficult for those in housing associations to buy their homes. Housing associations are non-profit making private bodies that provide low-cost social housing. Regulated by the state, they receive public funding. Right-to-buy rules allow most council tenants to buy their homes at a discount, but the rules do not apply to housing associations. They only qualify for limited discounts and can only buy a property that has been acquired by an association since 1997. Discounts vary between areas, but range from \u00a39,000 to \u00a316,000.

Under the new plans, housing associations will be able to use the funds from the sale of the houses to build more homes, the Sunday Times has reported. Taxpayers' money will be used to fund the discounts, which are expected to be 30% off the market value of the home. A more radical plan advanced by Duncan Smith, to simply give away housing association properties to those who have worked for a year, has been ditched. Number 10 believe it would cost votes among those who have worked for much longer to save for their own home. A senior Downing Street source said: 'You are safe to say that broadening right-to-buy is on the cards.' But the source added: 'Giving away homes is off the table.

And in a four-year period, the number of people aged under 30 receiving weight loss surgery in Birmingham more than doubled. Gastric band and gastric bypass operations are only carried out on the NHS when a patient's life is deemed to be at risk. Such surgery is a last resort, and before it is considered a patient is asked to make drastic changes to their lifestyle to try and lose weight naturally. The guidelines are such that a 5ft 5ins child will not be considered eligible for the drastic procedure unless they weigh at least 15 stone. Meanwhile someone who is 5ft 8ins would need to weigh almost 17 stone before they can be given the go-ahead for surgery. Figures from the Health and Social Care Information Centre released under the Freedom of Information Act show in the last five years six teenagers aged 18 and under had bariatric surgery. These included two 16 year olds, two people aged 17 and two 18 year olds. Overall between 2008-09 and 2011-12 the numbers of the radical operations performed on the under 30s rose from 35 to 71 - a 102 per cent increase. It comes as new figures this weekend revealed hundreds of babies are being born clinically obese every year. Since 2011, 1,403 newborns have been classified as obese - weighing 9lb 15oz or more, a Freedom of Information request revealed. Last year it emerged that West Midlanders are the second fattest group in the whole country, with NHS England figures revealing 65.7 per cent of people are overweight or obese. New figures released in January this year highlighted the worrying news that almost four out of 10 children in Birmingham are officially classed as overweight or obese by the age of 11. Concerns have been raised that people are opting for stomach surgery as an 'easy option' rather than go to the trouble of changing their lifestyle, eating more healthily and taking exercise. NHS guidelines state that surgery can only be offered when the patient has 'life threatening obesity' - a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above, or a BMI of 35 with other serious health conditions that could be improved through weight loss, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The policy states: 'It is always recommended that patients try to lose weight through a healthy, calorie-controlled diet and increased exercise before you consider weight loss surgery, as surgery carries a risk of complications and requires a significant change in lifestyle afterwards. 'Due to these associated risks, most surgeons, whether they are working privately or for the NHS, would only consider a person for surgery if there was a clinical need, and not just for cosmetic reasons.' People can also opt to pay for weight loss surgery privately. A gastric band operation, which reduces the size of the stomach, costs up to \u00a38,000.

Socialist politician Olivier Veran, who is also neurologist at the University Hospital of Grenoble, is demanding that fashion bosses who hire underweight girls be punished with six months in prison or fines of up to \u20ac75,000 (\u00a360,000). He has proposed that models should be required to present medical certificates demonstrating a healthy body mass index (BMI), which is calculated by dividing one's weight by the square of one's height.

Unhealthy: Super-skinny models may be banned in France after a Socialist politician, Olivier Veran, has called for fines or prison sentences to be handed out to fashion bosses who employ them, and for all models to be forced to present a certificate of good health before being allowed on the catwalk . Mr Veran told French daily Le Parisien: 'It's intolerable to promote malnutrition and to commercially exploit people who are endangering their own health. 'A level of acceptable body mass index should be set and enforced. Websites encouraging young girls to lose weight should also be banned. 'Some of these sites tell pre-teenage girls they should have a gap of 15 centimetres between their thighs, or give tips on how to survive on as little food as possible.' There are now 40,000 people in France suffering from anorexia, around 90 percent of whom are adolescents, Mr Veran said. Measures similar to those proposed by Mr Veran are already in place in a number of countries in Europe and around the world. Spain bars models below a certain body mass index from featuring in the Madrid fashion shows; Italy insists on health certificates for models; and Brazil is considering demands to ban underage, underweight models from its catwalks. In Norway, MPs have proposed that images of airbrushed fashion models should come with a 'cigarette-packet' style health warning in a bid to tackle eating disorders. One suggested text for the warning reads: 'This advertisement has been altered and presents an inaccurate image of how this model really looks'. 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. Two years ago, fashion guru Giorgio Armani said that the fashion industry had a duty to 'work together against anorexia'.

A review into sexual abuse inside Australia's Nauru detention centre (pictured) has found evidence of rape, sexual assault and guards trading marijuana for sexual favours from female detainees . The ABC reported that when Mr Abbott was first asked about his response to the report he appeared to dismiss its findings by responding 'occasionally, I dare say, things happen.' Labor's Immigration spokesperson Richard Marles called the Federal Government's response a 'disgrace' and believes Mr Abbott needs to take responsibility for the situation. 'The Moss review finds that the testimony of asylum seekers is convincing and it concludes that the degree of sexual assault within these detention facilities is being under-reported,' Mr Marles said in Melbourne. 'This is quite evidently shocking.' Prime Minister Abbott later said that the Government would adopt the 19 recommendations outlined in the review and called the findings 'very disturbing.'

Work has already begun on implementing the recommendations in cooperation with the Nauru government, service providers and the Australian Federal Police. The report also allegedly found evidence that guards traded marijuana for sexual favours from female detainees. The independent review was ordered by former immigration minister, Scott Morrison following earlier claims that children had been abused while in detention. Detainees had previously complained that two-minute showers were not long enough and had requested four minute showers instead.

The photographer was John Alasdair Macdonald, a tour guide in the Scottish Highlands from Drumnadrochit on the west shore of Loch Ness, who runs the website called The Hebridean Explorer.

An asteroid is a large chunk of rock left over from collisions or the early solar system. Most are located between Mars and Jupiter in the Main Belt. A comet is a rock covered in ice, methane and other compounds. Their orbits take them much further out of the solar system. A meteor is what we call a flash of light in the atmosphere when debris burns up. This debris itself is known as a meteoroid. Most are so small they are vapourised in the atmosphere. If any of this meteoroid makes it to Earth, it is called a meteorite. Meteors, meteoroids and meteorites normally originate from asteroids and comets. For example, if Earth passes through the detail of a comet, much of the debris burns up in the atmosphere, forming a meteor shower. Mr Macdonald, 42, wanted to take pictures of the night to advertise the area for his business. The father-of-three, who lives in Drumnadrochit, near Inverness, said: \u2018I\u2019ve never seen a shooting star before, I couldn\u2019t believe it. I quickly checked to see if my camera had picked it up, and it had. My wife called it sheer dumb luck. \u2018I wasn\u2019t out looking for it, it was completely unexpected. It was a total fluke.\u2019 Nick Howes, a professional astronomer, told MailOnline that automatic triggering systems can be used to detect the bright motion of a meteor and \u2018start the cameras rolling\u2019 if others want to attempt to replicate the photo. \u2018This one is, however, very aesthetically pleasing,\u2019 he added.

The level of improper payments was a new high after several years of declines. In addition to fraud, the errors included overpayments and underpayments, as well payments made without proper documentation. The federal government's entire budget deficit for 2014 was $483 billion, making more than 25 per cent of that spending shortfall a self-inflicted wound. And with the latest estimates of the total U.S. population hovering at 318.9 million, the misapplied spending represents nearly $392 for every man, woman and child living in America. SCROLL DOWN TO READ THE REPORT . KISS IT GOODBYE: The federal government sent out $125 BILLION in payments last year that it shouldn't have . While the errors were spread among 22 federal agencies, three programs stood out: Medicare, Medicaid and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Together, the three programs accounted for more than $93 billion in improper payments, according to the report by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress.

Ron Johnson said during a Senate hearing on Monday. 'This is a problem that is going to get worse year after year if we do not get a handle on it now.' These federal government programs were responsible for the biggest chunk of the $125 billion wasted on improper payments in 2014: . Johnson chairs the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, which held a hearing on reducing improper payments by improving death records maintained by the Social Security Administration. Social Security has no death record for 6.5 million people who would be at least 112 years old, according to a report by the agency's inspector general. In reality, only a few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there were only 42 people known to be that old in the entire world. Only 13 of the people are still getting Social Security benefits, the report said. But for others, their Social Security numbers are still active, so a number could be used to report wages, open bank accounts, obtain credit cards or claim fraudulent tax refunds. Social Security maintains a database of people who have died called the Death Master File, or DMF. It helps public agencies and private companies know when Social Security numbers are no longer valid for use. 'Their absence from the DMF could result in erroneous payments made by federal benefit-paying agencies that rely on the DMF to verify recipient eligibility,' said Patrick P.

Christine St Michaels, 33, was spotted on CCTV slipping money into her pockets as she filled up cash registers at the Leytonstone branch in north east London. She initially refused to empty her pockets when confronted by customer manager Robert Sharman, but St Michaels eventually revealed the \u00a3250 in cash. Tesco staff are barred from having any personal cash on them while they are working. St Michaels, who had worked at the Tesco branch for 12 years, was found guilty of theft and ordered to pay a \u00a3250 restitution order and \u00a3500 in prosecution costs.

'She didn't require any form of facility to deal with these headaches and nosebleeds and there were no outward manifestations of discomfort whatsoever.' During her trial St Michaels claimed the CCTV footage of her slipping the notes into her pocket was actually her 'double checking' to make sure no notes had accidentally fallen out of the cash tray into the bottom of the drawer. She claimed: 'It was money I had had in my pocket because I was going to take it to the bank - I had accumulated it over time at home. 'It was money that had been lying around.

Judge Freeland said: 'This was a significant breach of trust. 'On the 6 February of this year following a fully and strenuously contested trial you were convicted of one count of theft from Tesco - something which was a serious and flagrant breach of trust.

A coroner found yesterday that six people used excessive force which contributed to Mr Kumar's death at a car park in Mooloolaba, north of Brisbane. He had earlier assaulted two people. But in a triple zero call recording posted on Sunshine Coast Daily, the 34-year-old's urgent pleas can be heard. 'Oh my brother, I can't breathe,' he said. But a male voice responds: 'Not our problem bud.' Brisbane Coroner John Hutton delivered his findings on Wednesday, saying that those restraining Mr Kumar had failed to release pressure on him despite his appeal. 'I find that their failure to release pressure on Mr Kumar, despite Mr Kumar's continual pleading with them that he could not breathe, fell well-short of any standard of reasonableness,' he said.

But a top researcher says we've been giving ourselves too much credit - because we were helped by our oldest friends. Humans paired up with dogs as early as 40,000 BC, it is claimed, giving us such an advantage in hunting that it prompted the wipeout of our Neanderthal rivals. Man's best friend: An early cave painting in Libya of dogs chasing a deer in the Akakus Mountains. A new theory claims humans teamed up with the ancestors of domestic dogs far earlier than was first thought . Left behind: While early humans hunted with wolves, their Neanderthal rivals in Europe continued using primitive tools without any help, according to anthropologist Dr Pat Shipman (artist's impression) The controversial theory has been put forward in a new book by leading anthropologist Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University. She has challenged the common scientific view that wolves were only domesticated just over 10,000 years ago, after early humans had already asserted a strong foothold in Europe. No match: The theory claims Neanderthals (model pictured) were no match for the hunting technique . Instead, she said, humans began taming and breeding wolves - leading to the pets we know today - soon after they arrived on the continent from Africa up to 70,000 years ago. At the time, our close genetic relatives the Neanderthals were dominant in Europe, fighting for survival as they hunted creatures such as woolly mammoths with primitive tools. But soon afterwards the rival species died out, leaving a clear path for the homo sapiens that make up today's humans. Strong rival theories of their demise include that Neanderthals, just like woolly mammoths, were unable to cope with the changing climate of the last ice age or that humans were better hunters. Dr Shipman, however, told The Observer: 'We formed an alliance with the wolf and that would have been the end for the Neanderthal. 'Early wolf-dogs would have tracked and harassed animals like elk and bison and would have hounded them until they tired. Then humans would have killed them with spears or bows and arrows. 'This meant the dogs did not need to approach these large cornered animals to finish them off \u2013 often the most dangerous part of a hunt \u2013 while humans didn\u2019t have to expend energy in tracking and wearing down prey. Dogs would have done that. 'Then we shared the meat. It was a win-win situation.'

The average potencies of the samples he analysed was 20 per cent THC, but he saw values close to 30 per cent, which he described as'huge'. He explained that 30 years ago, THC levels in marijuana were well below 10 per cent. The THC content of cannabis has tripled in some strains because producers have been cross-breeding them over the years as users demand stronger drugs, he said. He added that an unexpected consequence of the breeding was that many of the samples his lab tested contained little to no CBD. Researchers are currently investigating CBD as a treatment for schizophrenia, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease, as well as anxiety and depression. But unlike THC, CBD doesn't get provide the same 'high', which is why it could be considered in treatments for children. Extra potent: Concentrations of marijuana's active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (pictured) have increased from less than 10 per cent in samples from the 1980s to up to 30 per cent in samples tested today . Dr LaFrate said he was shocked by the levels of contaminants in samples of marijuana producers had voluntarily sent to the lab for testing. He said: 'One thing that's been surprising is the level of microbial contamination in marijuana.' 'Many of the samples were covered in fungi or bacterial contaminants. 'Others had Butane, which are used to create marijuana extracts, and others had heavy metals.' This isn't necessarily a cause for alarm, but it could spark discussions on what are safe levels of contaminants. Dr LaFrate said: 'It's a natural product. There's going to be microbial growth on it no matter what you do. 'So the questions become: What's a safe threshold? And which contaminants do we need to be concerned about?'", "summary": "Cannabis has tripled in strength in the last three decades, scientists warn .

John Koskinen, the agency's commissioner, said Tuesday during a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that $346 million in budget cuts this year has caused a noticeable negative impact on taxpayer service.'

In 2013, the last year for which reliable numbers are available, the IRS paid out $5.8 billion in fake tax refunds to identity thieves. Law enforcement crackdowns have taken 'a lot of the amateurs off the street, but we are clearly dealing with organized crime syndicates here and around the world,' the commissioner said. And the IRS itself gets 'millions of attacks on our system every year,' he griped, due to some software packages the IRS has been using since 'when JFK was president.'

I would largely stick with this England group and trust that they will learn \u2014 and learn quickly \u2014 from such a painful defeat. And make no mistake, this will hurt because England went into the game with high hopes. I predicted England would win by five points based on two simple points, England would dominate at the scrums and England\u2019s discipline would keep the penalty count to single figures \u2014 neither remotely happened and the scoreline flattered England in the end. It\u2019s not a setback on the scale of Cardiff two years ago, nowhere near. England were competitive against what I believe is an Ireland team capable of winning a World Cup but there were some major disappointments and areas which quickly need working on. Former England coach Sir Clive Woodward would have brought on Danny Cipriani in place of Luther Burrell . England's players look dejected after they conceded the only try of the match against Ireland . The discipline was very poor, especially in the first half when they gave eight of their 13 penalties away and went down the tunnel 9-3 down. In fact, it should have been 12-3 because Jonny Sexton missed a penalty he would usually have popped over. I\u2019ve said it countless times before but nine is the absolute maximum number of penalties a Test side should be conceding, preferably less. You are always going to be under pressure in Dublin but England compounded that massively yesterday. It revealed that under intense pressure the mental strength is still missing at crucial times. The decision-making was flawed in a number of key areas. When England were 6-3 down midway through the first half Chris Robshaw opted for the corner when England had won a very kickable penalty. OK, the ref might have indicated that he was thinking about a yellow if Ireland offended again but that was still a huge call when you are playing away to Ireland early in such a big game. You take the points on offer, surely? It was also important to get George Ford ticking over as a goal-kicker. He had landed a nice dropped goal \u2014 and it was great to see that back on the menu \u2014 but it would have been good for his confidence to slot over a relatively simple penalty shot. If you do go for the bold option, and I accept that very occasionally it can be an inspired call, you must execute.

Professor Christina Slade, vice-chancellor of Bath Spa University, used her expense account to fly business class in order to 'drum up interest' around the globe. She is of a number of well-paid university Vice-Chancellors who used expenses accounts for luxury travel.

UCU spokesman Nick Varney said: 'It's a chaotic state of affairs where some vice chancellors spend thousands on travel or enjoy large pay rises. 'This lifts the lid on the inconsistent and arbitrary nature of senior pay and perks in our universities and shines a light on the murky world of the shadowy remuneration committees who sign off these deals. 'We need a far more transparent system that allows for proper scrutiny of the spending at the top and the rationale behind pay rises.'

Margie Shapiro and Sunni Welles both claim they were 17-years-old when, after a night out with Cosby, they woke up and realized they had been sexually assaulted. What's more, Welles was a lifelong family friend of the embattled comedian. Scroll down for videos . Sunni Welles (left) and Margie Shapiro (right) have come forward to claim they were raped by Bill Cosby when they were both 17-years-old . Over 30 women have come forward since last October claiming they were sexually assaulted by Cosby (above), who has repeatedly denied all their claims . The two women detailed their experiences in a press conference with lawyer Gloria Allred on Friday afternoon that was covered by The Wrap. Shapiro claims that she and Cosby met in 1975 when she worked at a doughnut shop in Santa Monica that the actor would frequent, and that he invited her to visit him on the set of the film he was working on at the time. From there he invited her to a dinner, but it was cancelled so he took her to the Playboy Mansion. Once there she says the two entered a 'game house' and began playing pinball. She said that she was not drinking at the time, but Cosby said whoever lost the game would have to take a pill, which she admits she agreed to. After losing and taking the pill, she claims she woke up to find that she was naked and Cosby was inside her. She says she passed back out but came to once more and that Cosby was touching her sexually. In the end, he told her she was not dressed well enough to meet Hugh Hefner and she was sent home with a driver. After that, she remembers 'feeling sick' when she saw Cosby's image in her head. Margie Shapiro (in photo at 17 being held up by lawyer Gloria Allred) claims that after meeting Cosby in 1975 at the doughnut shop she worked at, he invited her to visit him on set . Sunni Welles' (left) mother was friends with Cosby in the mid-1960s when she claims he invited her to go to a jazz club, pout something in her drink and then had sex with her . Welles meanwhile had known Cosby for years as her mother worked in Hollywood, first as a theatrical agent and then a story editor, and that as a teenager studying music she was thrilled when Cosby offered to take her to see some jazz back in the mid-1960s. Cosby and her mother had a friendship, so neither mother or daughter thought anything of it, and the experience of seeing live music would be good they thought as Welles was auditioning to be a background singer.

But now, Professors Stephen Hawking and Brian Cox also share the honour of becoming fully fledged brands by turning their names into trademarks. Hawking, 73, whose life was played out in the successful biopic The Theory of Everything released this year, has applied to the Intellectual Property Office to have his name formally registered. Cox, 47, the Human Universe presenter, has already made the move. Professor Hawking has turned his name into a brand to prevent inappropriate retailers exploiting it . Online retailers, such as the site Redbubble, sell T shirts featuring a zombie Stephen Hawking above the words 'Hawking Dead' There is a wide range of Stephen Hawking memorabilia online, many of which include corny catchphrases . This will enable the pair to sell their brands for anything from greetings cards to disability aids to set up an educational charity. The principle reason behind Professor Hawking's move to trademark his name is for charitable purposes. It will give him the option of setting up a foundation, such as one promoting physics or for research into motor neurone disease, which has left him paralysed since he was diagnosed aged 21, in 1963. The move will also prevent others from exploiting his name with inappropriate products and sees him join the ranks of celebrities who have turned their names into brands, such as JK Rowling and David Beckham. There is a wide range of Professor Hawking memorabilia available on the internet, including a thong with his quote 'while there may be primitive life in our region of the galaxy, there don't seem to be any advanced intelligent beings', inked on the front. There is also a pair of boxer shorts, available for \u00a38, with a cartoon sketch of the scientist on and T shirts featuring a zombie Professor Hawking above the words 'Hawking Dead'. A spokesman for Cambridge University, where he is a director of research at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, told the Sunday Times: 'It's a personal matter, it is not a university issue, but he has taken measures to protect his name and the success it has brought.' TV science presenter Brian Cox has also turned his name into a trademark to prevent retailers cashing in on it . This Brian Cox doll is selling for \u00a312.99 on Amazon (left), while the 'I love Brian Cox' badges are available for \u00a31 . Mr Cox, who was also a keyboard player in the band D:Ream that produced the hit record Things Can Only Get Better (later used as a New Labour election anthem), may have also branded his name to protect his reputation. Amazon is selling a Brian Cox doll, at \u00a312.99, which is described as being as 'cuddly as the brilliant Professor Brian Cox himself'. Retailers also offer coffee mugs bearing his face and T shirts with slogans such as 'I will do science to you', 'I am the master of the universe', and simply 'I love Cox'.", "summary": "Professors hired lawyers to turn their names into trademarks to sell brand .

The homeless man who was shot dead by the LAPD is from Cameroon - but could not be deported back to his home country because of the red tape. The man, who was killed on Los Angeles' impoverished Skid Row when he allegedly tried to grab the holstered pistol of an officer while police arrested him on Sunday, was from Cameroon, authorities have confirmed. However, attempts to deport him had failed - because the Cameroonian government refused to respond to repeated requests for travel documents. It has already been revealed the man - whose violent death sparked outrage across America - served 15 years behind bars using the name Charley Saturmin Robinet. His deception was discovered a couple of years ago, when he was due to be deported back to France. But French authorities realized he was not who he was claiming to be, and rescinded the papers, according to the Los Angeles Times. Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, told the newspaper they repeatedly contacted authorities in Cameroon, who failed to respond to their request for a travel document. Because they were unable to get the documents, the man known as Robinet could not be deported and was released from prison. He served around 13 years in prison for the crime, in which he, an accomplice and getaway driver stole $33,500 in a bid to pay for acting classes at the Beverly Hills Playhouse.

Officials now say Robinet stole the identity of a Frenchman with the same name and birth date to apply for a French passport in the 1990s, when he came to the U.S. to pursue an acting career. Foreign nationals are usually deported after serving their sentences, but because of a 2001 Supreme Court ruling on the rights of 'stateless' people, Robinet was set free. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Virginia Kice said she couldn't immediately comment on his immigration history. Under the terms of the man's release, he was required to provide reports to his probation officer at the beginning of each month, . Deputy U.S. Marshal Matthew Cordova said he failed to do so in November, December and January, leading to the issue of a federal warrant - which triggered the fatal clash with police. Proof?

A Spain international and one of Atletico's most creative influences, Koke missed last month's first leg defeat in Germany due to injury but has featured in Atletico's last three outings in La Liga. The 23-year-old, who scored in this month's 1-1 draw at home to Valencia, is also a dead ball specialist and the Spanish champions have netted a host of goals from his corners and free kicks. Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone and Mario Suarez attend a press conference on the eve of the tie . Simeone believes Koke returning will be a boost for his team as they try to overturn a first-leg deficit . 'He is one of those all-round midfielders who is gifted at reading the game, he knows how to play in different positions in the centre and he has very good peripheral vision,' Simeone told a news conference. 'When he is on top form, he allows us to play with speed. Not because he is fast himself but because his vision allows us to play that way.'

'We need to shake off their pressuring quickly when they are trying to win back the ball,' Simeone said. 'They know very well how to disrupt play and hold you up,' added the former Argentina captain.

+{"article": "Arsene Wenger\u2019s Champions League record is as phenomenal as it is deeply disappointing. The paradox is apparent is Wenger\u2019s own mantra, oft repeated, that the club\u2019s record of qualifying for the tournament for 17 consecutive years and having reached the equivalent of knock-out stages for the last 15 years is extraordinary. Yet having contested the Champions League and its predecessor the European Cup 18 times now (including twice at Monaco), he has never won it. Perhaps more damningly he has been in the final just once and the semi-finals three times, once with Monaco and twice with Arsenal. Arsene Wenger is undoubtedly one of the managerial greats but his European record is a blot on his CV . Wenger leads his Arsenal side against Monaco on Tuesday night hoping to turn around a 3-1 deficit . Wenger looks towards the Champions League trophy after losing the 2006 final to Barcelona in Paris . Progression to the quarter-finals of the Champions League would require Arsenal to do what no other side has done in the Champions League - overturn a two-goal home leg deficit. So to inspire the team, Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter and created the hashtag #MiracleInMonaco in the hope of inspiring their side to a famous victory, with the topic now trending worldwide. Supporters will hope Mesut Ozil and co can live up to their alter-egos from Arsenal's Christmas party in 2013 where the squad dressed up as superheroes. For a manager of such iconic status who for most of those years has overseen one of Europe\u2019s biggest and best-resourced clubs, that is a poor record, which points to his limitations. Just to be clear, before the debate immediately descends into a pro- or anti-Wenger polemic, there are shades of grey in this argument. Wenger is undoubtedly one of the great managers and will always be revered as such. But his failure to win any European trophy and to have contested just three finals in 22 years of qualifying for various European tournaments, is a glaring omission in his career. It is why the game against Monaco is so poignant. It is not just that he is returning to where his European pedigree began. It is the fact that this tie should have been the perfect platform for Wenger to have another go at building a European success. It hasn\u2019t turned out that way after that awful, shambolic 3-1 defeat in the first leg at The Emirates. Of course, should Arsenal pull off the most unlikely of comebacks, it will rank as one of his greatest moments in the tournament. More significantly, with Real Madrid faltering, Wenger will feel his team, coming nicely into form, has a genuine chance of finally winning it. Few will agree with him though on analysing his record. The failure clearly irks Arsenal. Freddie Ljungberg admitted as much last year, when interviewed about Wenger. For all the plaudits of the incredible Invincible team, they themselves sense a gap in their CV. \u2018When we meet up, the old players, we are very disappointed we haven't", "summary": "Arsene Wenger has qualified for the Champions League for last 17 seasons .

+{"article": "When astronomers first started taking ultraviolet images of Venus, they were somewhat baffled by a mysterious \u2018Y\u2019 shape that covered the entire planet. But now researchers say they have an answer - high intensity winds are distorting a \u2018wave\u2019 of clouds to produce a stretched effect. The discovery could also reveal how similar processes take place on other slow-rotating bodies in the solar system. Scroll down for a video animation showing the effect . Spanish astronomers have revealed a new theory for a 'Y' shape on Venus (annotated image from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter in 1979 shown). They say it is formed by winds pushing a 'wave' of clouds on the planet. These winds move faster at higher altitudes, creating the odd shape . The latest theory was proposed by astronomers from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) in Granada, Spain, in collaboration with the university of the Basque Country and the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences of Portugal. Venus is slightly smaller than Earth but has a similar mass. It is the second closest planet to the sun at a distance of about 67 million miles (108 million kilometres), and takes about 225 days to orbit the sun. One day on Venus lasts as long as 243 Earth days. Its thick and toxic atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, with clouds of sulphuric acid droplets. It's believed that its atmosphere contributed to a runaway greenhouse effect that made the planet inhospitable. The planet's extreme high temperatures of almost 480\u00b0C (900\u00b0F) make it seem an unlikely place for for life as we know it. On Venus strong winds move the upper atmosphere 225 mph (360km/h), circling the planet every four to five Earth days. But the planet itself takes almost 243 Earth days to complete an orbit - meaning the winds are much faster than the rotation speed of the planet. The winds have a mostly constant speed at different latitude, but nearer the pole they circle the planet quicker as the circumference of the planet is smaller. This ultimately gives rise to this \u2018Y\u2019 shape, as the clouds at the top and bottom of the shape are moved more quickly. 'This [atmospheric] wave is dragged by the winds of Venus, so if they are constant the wave should round the planet without getting deformed, right?' Dr Javier Peralta, the IAA-CSIC researcher in charge of this study, told MailOnline. 'But we must consider that these waves propagate over a \"sphere\", and \"circles\" completed both at the equator and at 40\u00baN have a different radius (the higher latitude, the smaller the parallels or circles are). 'So, having the same velocity than that at the equator, anything moving horizontally at 40\u00ba will complete the longitude of the circle sooner that when doing the same at the equator. 'This is why the wave gets deformed. The area of the wave at higher latitudes complete circles quicker than at the equator.' Winds on Venus can circle the planet in four to five Earth days. But the planet takes 243 Earth", "summary": "Spanish astronomers have revealed a new theory for a 'Y' shape on Venus . They say it is formed by winds pushing a 'wave' of clouds on the planet .

Professor Frank Graewe, who took part in the nine-hour surgery on the South African man, said: 'He gets good quality erections, ejaculates and has frequent sex with his partner.' He said doctors are now also appealing for donors to enable more men to have the operation. Just five weeks after the transplant was carried out by surgeons from Stellenbosch University and Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, the 21-year-old patient was able to have sex with his partner . The operation was carried out by surgeons from Stellenbosch University and Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, using a donated penis. The man, who has not been named, lost all but a 1cm stump of his penis three years ago following a botched circumcision. He received the donated organ harvested from a man who was declared brain dead. Professor Graewe said the recipient had accepted the new organ as 'his own' \u2013 and added the skin tone of the donor penis is similar to that of the patient. As part of the procedure, doctors transplanted a new penis, donated by a deceased man. The pictures, left and right, show the veins and blood vessels they connected . 'It will never be 100 per cent similar, because even when the individuals have the same skin colour, complexions differ,' the doctor added. Ten years ago, a man in China received a transplant, but asked surgeons to remove the donated penis two weeks after the operation. Professor Andr\u00e9 van der Merwe, who led the operation on December 11 last year, had spent years experimenting on cadavers to see which nerves, blood vessels and other elements had to be joined to guarantee full functioning. The procedure was performed as part of a pilot study to develop a penile transplant procedure that could be performed in a typical South African hospital. The planning and preparation for the study started back in 2010. After extensive research Professor van der Merwe and his surgical team decided to use techniques developed for the first facial transplant. 'There are a number of men who would benefit from this operation but the issue is a lack of donors and also a lack of funding,' he told MailOnline last week. A follow-up operation enabled the young man to urinate normally, without the aid of a catheter, and the doctors said his overall confidence had risen considerably since the procedure. The man has made a full recovery - a result which the doctors did not expect to occur until about December 2016. After the nine hour operation, the man recovered rapidly. The procedure has allowed him to become sexually active again. The picture shows how the nerves of the donated penis were joined to the man's genital region .

Academics have calculated the likely reduction in consumption caused by putting up the price of full sugar drinks like Coca-Cola and Pepsi and the resulting health benefits. The work by experts at the University of Liverpool and the Children\u2019s Food Campaign will fuel the growing campaign to extend the principle of a duty on unhealthy products from cigarettes and alcohol to some types of drink and food. Scroll down for video . Academics have calculated the likely reduction in consumption caused by putting up the price of full sugar drinks like Coca-Cola and Pepsi and the resulting health benefits . Health campaigners and doctors have controversially likened sugar and its contribution to obesity and ill-health as the \u2018new tobacco\u2019. However, the drinks industry have challenged the figures, insisting a sugary drinks tax will only hit the poorest in society with higher living costs while doing nothing to improve their health. The Liverpool team calculates that a tax of 20p per litre \u2013 12p per can \u2013 would reduce the number of cases of diabetes by just under 50,000 over 20 years. They estimate there would be a fall of 33,000 in cases of stroke and heart disease and some 9,000 fewer victims of bowel cancer. Malcolm Clark, co-ordinator of the Children\u2019s Food Campaign, said a 20p per litre sugary drinks duty would save lives and money across England . These figures relate to England alone and the researchers estimate it would lead to savings of \u00a3300m in the cost of treating these people over the 20 years, releasing money for other patients. Soft drinks are the largest single source of sugar for children aged 4-10 years and teenagers, consequently any new levy would particularly hit consumption among this group. Money raised from the charge would support a new Children\u2019s Health Fund, which would pay for sport and fitness schemes and equipment for youngsters. The campaign for a sugary drinks duty is supported by over 60 organisations, including public health and medical professional bodies, dentists, children\u2019s charities, Action on Sugar and school food experts. Malcolm Clark, co-ordinator of the Children\u2019s Food Campaign, said: \u2018Current taxes on foods are a mess, and don\u2019t support people choosing healthier options. \u2018A 20p per litre sugary drinks duty would save lives and money across England, and ease the pressure on NHS services locally. It is a logical, proportionate and effective measure. \u2018Using the revenue to set up a Children\u2019s Health Fund, paying for programmes to improve children\u2019s health and protect the environment they grow up in, would also ensure that this was a progressive measure, benefiting families in poverty and on low incomes.\u2019 Public health directors in North West England and in Cardiff, as well as the London Health Commission, have publicly backed a sugary drinks duty.

+{"article": "Rangers full-back Lee Wallace admitted last week that his Scotland career effectively ended when he elected to remain at Ibrox following the club\u2019s descent into administration, liquidation and the Third Division. Before being signed from Hearts by then manager Ally McCoist for \u00a31.5million in the summer of 2011, he had made five appearances for his country. However, his residency in the lower leagues has seen the 27-year-old make just three substitute appearances (totalling a mere 53 minutes) for the national team in the last four years.

His involvement with Scotland squads, a regular occurrence during his time at Rugby Park, ended when he joined Rangers in 2013. However, the 28-year-old, whose international prospects were further hindered by a shoulder injury sustained in August which ruled him out of action for seven months, is in no mood to close the door on his chances of representing his country just yet. There\u2019s also the small matter of David Marshall, Craig Gordon and Allan McGregor being ahead of him in the pecking order. But Bell insisted: \u2018I would never say it\u2019s over. I\u2019m desperate to play and be part of the squad. The goalkeeping situation is very strong and there are some great goalies there. I totally respect that. \u2018All I can do is keep playing well at club level and keep knocking on the door and, hopefully, the manager will take notice.\u2019 Of course, as a goalkeeper, Bell can afford to be more sanguine than outfield players. All things being equal, he should still be playing at a high level for another decade or so. That, however, does not mean he isn\u2019t impatient for success. Some former Rangers players, including Barry Ferguson, the 2003 Treble-winning captain, have claimed that another season in the Championship may prove beneficial for the Ibrox club while the first-team squad is dismantled and rebuilt from scratch.

A widow is suing McDonald's after her husband suffered a fatal heart attack in the restroom - and no-one was able to help him because the door was 'dead-bolted from the inside'. Anthony DeNicola died after suffering an apparent heart attack in June 2013 at the fast food restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. In a $10million lawsuit filed by Anna DeNicola in Brooklyn Supreme Court last week, it is alleged that medical assistance to save Mr DeNicola was delayed because the one-stall restroom was shut with a slide lock. The 67-year-old grandfather, a part-time truck driver, had been meeting friends at the 86th Street branch for breakfast near his home in Bensonhurst before a fishing trip. He went to use the restroom, but when he had not returned several minutes later, his friends went to check on him. They received no answer when they knocked on the door. Emergency services were called, but it took firefighters around 15 minutes to open the door - and Mr DeNicola had already died. His son Anthony DeNicola Jr. said employees 'told them there's no way to get in, there's nothing they can do'. The 38-year-old told The New York Post: 'If somebody could have opened the door, they could have started CPR on him until emergency workers got there. 'What if somebody had been able to open that door? He'd still be here.' He added his late father had been planning a surprise retirement party for his wife, but instead, his funeral was held on that day.

+{"article": "Roland Sturm (above), a senior economist at RAND Corporation, said the much-hailed Los Angeles fast-food ban did little to reshape the retail food landscape in the targeted area . The South Los Angeles fast-food ban did not decrease obesity in poor neighborhoods because residents found unhealthy food at restaurants in strip malls and convenience stores instead, a new study has found. In 2008, a dietary ordinance targeted a 32-square-mile area south of Interstate 10 that struggles with high obesity rates and other health problems. The ban went into effect in South Los Angeles and restricted the opening or expansion of standalone fast-food restaurants. However, the law, believed to be the first effort of its kind by a major city to improve public health, did not ban new fast food restaurants in strip malls. This made it possible for unhealthy food to continue making its way into the low-income neighborhoods. Roland Sturm, a senior economist at RAND Corporation and lead author of the study, said findings should not come as a surprise, as most food outlets in the area are small food stores or restaurants that have limited seating and were not affected by the policy. In the study, which was published in the Social Science and Medicine journal, Sturm found that in the targeted area, free-standing restaurants were rare to begin with and no new ones have opened since the ordinance took effect. These standalone fast-food restaurants are outnumbered by restaurants in strip malls and small food stores, such as convenience stores, which were not restricted by the ban, according to NPR. Rand researchers reviewed permits issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which inspects food outlets. Larger fast-food chains opened 17 new outlets in strip shopping centers and food courts in South Los Angeles from 2008 to 2012. Almost half of the new food permits were for convenience stores that sell soda and junk food. Obesity rates in South Los Angeles grew by 12 per cent despite a much-hailed three-year ban on stand-alone fast-food restaurants, a new study has found . Findings showed that before the dietary ordinance went into effect in 2008, 63 per cent of residents in the area reported being overweight or obese compared to 57 per cent in other parts of the county. But three years on, instead of the law curbing weight gain, the opposite trend took force as obesity rates grew by 12 per cent in South Los Angeles. 'The South Los Angeles fast food ban may have symbolic value, but it has had no measurable impact in improving diets or reducing obesity,' said Sturm. The study also revealed that obesity rates following the ban have been significantly larger in South Los Angeles compared to other parts of the city. In 2011, 75 per cent of South Los Angeles residents reported being overweight or obese, while rates elsewhere only increased by one per cent. However, a positive development was a drop in soft drink consumption since 2007, which also occurred across the city.

Mr Justice Hayden today made the two 15-year-olds and three 16-year-olds wards of court - a move which prevents them from leaving the jurisdiction of England and Wales. He made the ruling at a hearing at the High Court after Tower Hamlets local authority raised concerns. The five girls were made wards of court, which prevents them from leaving the UK. Mr Justice Hayden made the ruling today at the High Court (pictured) after hearing the girls had 'shown an interest' in travelling to Syria . The judge, who directed that the girls could not be identified although it is believed all five are from Tower Hamlets in East London, also made orders removing their passports and those of a number of adults involved in their care. He said the ban was a 'draconian' step, as was the removal of the passport. Mr Justice Hayden told the hearing: 'But the risk contemplated here is as grave as it can be for it is common knowledge that so many have lost their lives in Syria and so many have gone knowing that would be likely. 'As I said early this week in another case, and I repeat it in this, sometimes the law has to intervene to protect these young people, ultimately from themselves. The judge said the ban was a 'draconian' step, but necessary to protect the girls. Pictured: Aleppo, Syria . 'Therefore I am satisfied there is evidence of sufficient cogency and the evaluation of risk is such as to justify the orders sought.' The girls and adults concerned, who were not in court today, can challenge the emergency ruling at a future date if they wish. The judge added he made the order to include the adults because of evidence that in at least one other case young girls had travelled on passports belonging to members of their family. He also said there was evidence suggesting that the family members in the case had not been full and frank with social services, and that the girls had been moving to a more radicalised position. 'It seems to me that that must have been known to the parents and they deliberately did not share it with the authorities who were keen to protect these vulnerable young girls.'

He became a cult hero at Goodison Park for the next five years before signing for Manchester United in 2013. Now in his second season at Old Trafford and used mainly as a striker by Louis van Gaal, he is in the best form of his United career and scored and made an assist in last weekend's 3-0 victory against Tottenham.

The Belgian trains ahead of United's crucial clash with Liverpool on Sunday, where he is sure to be involved . Fellaini has grown from a bit-part player last season to become a vital member of Louis van Gaal's squad . Steve Round, assistant-manager to David Moyes at Everton and Manchester United and who worked with Fellaini at both clubs, recounts how it all began. 'Marouane had been on Everton's radar for a while. His ability to play in different positions was attractive because the club didn't have the money to pay big fees on several players,' explains Round. 'David asked me to go and watch him play Liverpool at Anfield and he was very impressive. A lot of players would have been dominated in midfield by someone like Steven Gerrard in his own stadium but Marouane competed and gave as good as he got. He wasn't overawed and you could see he had ability. 'When David asked my opinion, it was positive and the club signed him in what was a big deal for them given their finances at the time.' Former Everton assistant Steve Round watched Fellaini play against Liverpool for former club Standard Liege . Round gave the midfielder a glowing reference to David Moyes who sanctioned a \u00a315m deal to sign him .

'He is technically very good, he may not have the same range of passing as Gerrard but he rarely gives the ball away. And his chest control is as good as anyone I've seen in the game.

Medics at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary say they treated a 23-year-old cyclist for an E.coli 0157 infection after he was admitted to the hospital suffering from vomiting, abdominal pain and bloody diarrhoea. The man - a vegetarian - said he had not eaten undercooked meat or vegetables, nor had he spent time with livestock or visiting farms before falling ill. A man was treated for E. coli which doctors believe he contracted after taking part in a Tough Mudder event and was splashed with infected mud (file picture) But eight days before his symptoms began the man had competed in a cycling event along wet, muddy tracks in eastern Scotland. He, along with other competitors, had removed the mudguards from his bicycle to reduce weight, and mud and water had splashed on his face during the race. It is thought this was how he became infected with the bug, which can be found in animal faeces and farm slurry. The man said he had taken part in a 'Tough Mudder' event, which involves a 10 -12 mile race with obstacles such as climbing vertical walls and plunging through ice pools. The cyclist, who has not been identified, recovered - but the doctors have highlighted his case in the Journal of Infection Prevention. Writing in the research paper, the doctors warned: 'Sporting endeavours such as cycling and cross-country running events often take participants through such high-risk areas and may be an important cause of contact with E. coli 0157.

Escherichia coli, often known as E. coli, are bacteria found in the digestive systems of many animals, including humans. Most strains are harmless but some can cause serious illness. Most cases of E. coli food poisoning occur after eating undercooked beef (particularly mince, burgers and meatballs) or drinking unpasteurised milk.

It means drinks lovers could enjoy the oaky flavours of premium tipples without having to fork out the high prices they demand. Scroll down for video . The Oak Bottle can turn cheap booze into fine wine with a vintage oak taste, its makers claim . All users need to do is pour their favourite wines in the bottle, which is made of sustainably sourced American oak, and then leave it for up to two days to take on the flavour of the receptacle. The bottle, which costs $79.99 (\u00a350) from oakbottle.com, can also be used to improve the flavours of brandies, bourbons and even tequila. It's the brainchild of Canadian entrepreneur Joel Paglione, who came up with the idea after growing up on his parent's vineyard. Mr Paglione, 30, who now lives in Chicago, spent three years developing the Oak Bottle, which he says is the world's smallest and fastest way to infuse drinks with oak. Eight other versions which are flavoured with the likes of cherry, vanilla, maple and coffee are also available. He said: 'The Oak Bottle is a revolutionary device that makes cheap wine or spirits taste like an expensive vintage in just 24 to 48 hours.

'My family has a vineyard and winery in Canada so I grew up in the wine making industry. 'Once I was old enough to help, I asked why we spend so much time filling small barrels of wine for oak ageing versus pouring it all into a giant barrel like we do the fermentation tanks. 'The answer, my father told me, was the smaller the oak barrel we use the faster the oak infusion and the faster we can achieve the desired oak tannin we are looking for in our wine.'

He said the most popular wines for oak bottle ageing are Chardonnay, Cabernet and Merlot. 'In just 48 hours an unoaked Chardonnay will taste like an expensive oaked Chardonnay vintage that has been aged in oak barrels for years,' he claimed.

But with the ruthless Chelsea machine far in the Premier League distance and no chance of silverware from cup competitions, the Chilean's ageing, expensively-assembled side look certain to end the campaign trophyless - a relative drought that will not go down well in the desert residence of the club's owners. Here, Sportsmail looks at five men who could replace Pellegrini in the Etihad hot seat in the summer should he be given the boot. Manuel Pellegrini could be dismissed as Manchester City boss with the club facing a trophyless season . 1. Frank de Boer . With four Dutch titles in a row under his belt the Ajax supremo is the most attainable of the candidates in the running. The innovative 44-year-old introduced youth and creativity to an ageing, underperforming side and would appear to fit the bill. However, City are famously looking for Champions League progression and three group stage exits in a row in Amsterdam may undermine his case. That said, De Boer would have resources at City he could only dream about with Ajax. Do not rule out a Dutch dynasty in Manchester. Frank de Boer has won four Eredivisie titles in a row during his time as manager at Ajax . De Boer's case may be weakened by three group stage Champions League exits with Ajax . 2. Pep Guardiola . The Bayern Munich boss is well-known to City executives Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain from their time together at the Nou Camp and would appear to be the obvious choice. Begiristain, City's director of football, held that role at Barcelona while Guardiola was coach and the men are close friends. Guardiola himself has spoken of his desire to coach in England. Timing however, is the issue. Pep Guardiola is well known to City executives but his contract at Bayern Munich expires next season . Guardiola was on hand to witness City's demise at the hands of former side Barcelona on Wednesday . The 44-year-old's contract in Bavaria does not expire until next summer and he has already ruled out leaving before then. Interestingly that coincides with the end of Pellegrini's deal at the Etihad... 3. Diego Simeone . The Argentine's stock went through the roof after last season's logic-defying La Liga title and Champions League final appearance.

+{"article": "It's a pivotal policy for the Federal Government but questions are being asked of the Prime Minister's understanding, or lack thereof, around metadata after his bizarre claim that he never worried about police looking into his, when he was a journalist. The problem with his attempt to allay fears of the modern day media is that metadata was hardly a player when Tony Abbott was reporting in the 1980s and early 90s, before the advent of the Internet. 'In the days when I was a journalist there were no metadata protections for journalists,' he stated to a gathering of reporters on Wednesday. But if you do the math, his argument simply does not stack up. I was perfectly comfortable as a journalist, I believe that Australian police and security agencies operate in a fair and reasonable and responsible manner,' the Prime Minister said. His writing career ended before the internet began . While metadata does include some traditional methods of investigation; including phone numbers and length and time of calls, the overhaul's main thrust is aimed at computer based functions, particularly the online and email world. The Internet came to be, effectively, in 1992. Full text searches were not available for two years after that and email access came to being about the same time. By then, Tony Abbott was well and truly ensconced as press secretary to Opposition Leader Dr John Hewson, his days as a writer for The Bulletin and The Australian all but over. 'I was perfectly comfortable as a journalist, I believe that Australian police and security agencies operate in a fair and reasonable and responsible manner,' the Prime Minister said. 'A contested warrant is more like a court case and if you had to have a court case to access metadata, well, the whole process would absolutely gum up,' he said. In trying to explain the planned two-year retention, Mr Abbott has previously stated that he believed metadata to be the 'sites you're visiting'. 'It's not what you are doing on the internet, it's the site's you are visiting, it's not the content it's just where you have been. 'It's the person you are sending it to, the person sending it, it's the date and the place it's posted from.' Federal Labor had earlier agreed to support new metadata laws with amendments. The government bill, which is expected to pass parliament by the end of next week, forces telecommunications companies to keep two years of customer data, such as the time and length of a phone call. The laws would allow for warrant-less access by government agencies. The government has agreed to a number of Labor amendments, including better protections for journalists. Australian Press Council chairman David Weisbrot, has expressed his concern the laws could crush investigative journalism and dissuade whistle-blowers from coming forward. 'A healthy democratic society requires robust free speech and a free and vigorous press to hold governments and other powerful interests to account,' he said.

Ministers are consulting on whether to extend the minimum resale period to 15 years.

Prosecutors contended that Garrard refused to let Savannah stop running even after the girl was vomiting and begging for an end to the exercise. In court, they cited a school bus surveillance video that captured Garrard saying she would run the girl and teach her a lesson. Garrard walks to the Etowah County Judicial Building on Friday to prepare for a hearing. She now faces the death penalty or life without parole .

For some reason, the corona of the sun - the aura of plasma that surrounds it - is a lot hotter than the surface, and no one is sure why. But by observing the atmosphere of the sun around the eclipse, astronomers will be hoping to solve this mystery once and for all. Scroll down for video .

Using an array of instruments they studied the sun's corona, plasma around the sun that can only be seen during a total eclipse. They hope to work out why the corona is 300 times hotter than the surface . In a blog post, research student Nathalia Alzate from Aberystwyth University, who is part of the team conducting the research, said that everything had gone as planned. \u2018What a show! Observatory doors open, special glasses ready, cameras, all of us standing in the cold, waiting for the moment of truth,\u2019 she said. \u2018Those two minutes of eclipse time brought us all here and connected us. Time to look at our data!\u2019 A total solar eclipse is the only time that the entire atmosphere of the sun can be observed. Why is the sun\u2019s corona - the aura of plasma that surrounds it - so much hotter than its surface? That is one of greatest solar mysteries, but astronomers will be hoping to find an answer today - by observing the total solar eclipse from the North Pole. The plasma of the sun is only visible during a total eclipse, so the scientists will use this unique opportunity to try and solve the puzzling phenomena. Some Nasa spacecraft have a \u2018coronograph\u2019 on board, which lets them block part of the sun and create an artificial eclipse, but the effect pales in comparison to viewing the atmosphere of the sun around the moon. At Svalbard, including fellow research student Joe Hutton from the university, measured radiation before, during and after the eclipse. They used a high-tech particle camera developed by the Cern@school programme to measure changes in radiation. Cern@school also provided similar detectors at schools across the UK, to measure changes in radiation from the eclipse at varying degrees of totality. In Svalbard, 100 per cent of the sun was covered by the moon, but much further south in London, only about 85 per cent was obscured. And in an amazing coincidence, the eclipse occurred over Svalbard in the North Pole on the same day the sun came into view after six months of polar night - an event which happens only once every 500,000 years. The team at Svalbard (shown), led by Professor Shadia Habbal, Professor of Solar Physics at the University of Hawaii, included scientists from Aberystwyth University in Wales.

Alternatively, you could try the local Aldi, where the budget chain is introducing Wagyu burgers at \u00a32.99 each. The budget chain is to offer a limited stock of Wagyu burgers made with beef imported from New Zealand as it steps up its chase for middle and high income shoppers. Normally, luxury restaurants, stores and gourmet butchers sell the beef for the equivalent of an eye-watering \u00a3100 per kilo \u2013 so putting it out of reach for most families. However, Aldi is bringing the beef, which originated with pampered cattle in Japan, to the masses. Last year the company sold Wagyu sirloin and rib-eye steaks at \u00a36.99 each, which resulted in something of a stampede among the BMW-driving classes. It believes the burgers will be similarly successful. Wagyu beef stands out from other meat because of its distinctive marbling with fat, which melts into the meat during cooking to produce a fabulous taste and moist texture. The cattle were initially introduced to Japan as a beast of burden to help cultivate rice during the 2nd century. Beer was fed to the animals during the hot summers to stimulate appetite, while massaging was used to prevent muscles cramping on small farms in Japan where the animals did not have sufficient room to move around. Kobe beef is the purest, highest quality of the meat, which is produced from the black Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyu cattle and raised according to strict tradition. However, the demand and appetite for the beef is now so great that herds are now being reared across the globe, including the UK and New Zealand. Beef from Wagyu cows is sold for as much as \u00a3100 per kilo in luxury restaurants and gourmet butchers . Aldi said the decision to stock the burgers was inspired by the menu at the Oscars ball.

Marchioness of Worcester Tracy Somerset and her campaign group, which included Eton-educated West, star of The Wire, fought for four years against the proposal for an indoor farm to house 25,000 pigs. The Marchioness, 56, whose best-known role was as Tessa Robinson in the 1980s TV detective series C.A.T.S. Eyes, argued that the farming practice is cruel and leaves the animals unwell and stressed. Victory: Tracy, Marchioness of Worcester has won a battle against a factory pig farm in Derbyshire . Enthusiast: The actress turned aristocrat is an outspoken campaigner for animal rights . Midland Pig Producers has now withdrawn its application, saying it did so because the Environment Agency objected to smells that would affect residents near the planned pig farm at Foston, Derbyshire. The Marchioness, whose husband Henry is heir to the Badminton estate in Gloucestershire, said the decision was a \u2018victory for all who care about animals\u2019. The peeress, an outspoken campaigner for sustainable farming, said: 'Intensive, indoor animal factories belong to the past. 'We hope this means people are waking up to the importance of knowing where their food comes from as well as the hidden costs of intensive farming. 'There is mounting evidence that industrial, intensive pig-rearing systems not only cause stress and illness in animals but also threaten human health.' The former actress married Henry Somerset, heir to the Duke of Beaufort and the Badminton Estate, in 1987, although the couple separated last year. Star: The former actress is pictured left with Leslie Ash in C.A.T.S. Eyes, and right as Miss Scarlet in Cluedo . Aristocrat: Lady Worcester married Henry, Marquess of Worcester, in 1987 and recently separated from him . Activist: The campaigner led a protest against a proposed farm which she claimed would be cruel . After retiring from acting following a career which included playing Miss Scarlet in TV game show Cluedo, she became an animal welfare activist. She has previously broken into factory farms in Poland and South America in order to stage protests there, and lobbied spectators at the Badminton Horse Trials held on her own family's estate. Lady Worcester said today: 'Industrial-scale farming threatens the livelihood of high welfare farmers in rural communities. 'The regular over-use of antibiotics in factory farm systems has produced antibiotic-resistant superbugs. 'In addition, they pollute water and air as well as damaging local businesses.' As well as her animal rights advocacy, Lady Worcester has campaigned against Britain's membership of the EU and in support of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

The Department for Health and Ageing were ordered by a Workers Compensation Tribunal to pay compensation to an employee at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in Adelaide for emotional trauma after it was wrongly assumed he was facing trial for necrophilia. In Judge Leonie Farrell\u2019s judgement she said that in October 2012 the worker\u2019s relationship with his partner broke down, The Advertiser reported. He was charged with aggravated assault by his ex-partner and had to inform his employer of this. The man was working at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide when he was suspended . The worker spoke to his operations manager about the alleged assault case where the manager made notes of their conversation. It was here where all the confusion began.

Other allegations made against the worker by his ex-partner was that he was a 'pornographic king'. Judge Farrell said the operations manager was 'unfamiliar with criminal procedure' and 'saw no distinction' between a charge and an allegation. A hospital operations manager wrongly assumed during an interview with the employee that he was facing trial for necrophilia . The worker was suspended from his job as it was believed 'he had been charged with interfering with a body in the morgue'. It was Judge Farrell's view that the operations manager misunderstood what the worker was telling her about the necrophilia allegation. 'She did not do so deliberately or maliciously ... it was a simple misunderstanding resulting from her unfamiliarity with the matters being raised,' the judge said. As the aggravated assault case progressed through the justice system, the worker was diagnosed HIV-positive and began to suffer anxiety issues. An appropriate award of compensation for the hospital employee is now being worked out . South Australia Police later confirmed that 'the comments made by the ex-partner appeared to have no substance'.

The Supreme Court is considering her application for a second judicial review, and Co-ordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security Tedjo Edhie Purdjiant on Monday said the decision would be sped up. Scroll down for video . Philippine national Mary Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, center, is escorted by a court official and a police officer upon arrival for a judicial review hearing at Sleman District Court in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Tuesday, March 3 .

Maybe this week we will get a decision,' he told reporters, as quoted by Indonesian website okezone. The Australians were moved from Bali to Nusakambangan - the island where the executions are set to take place - last week under heavy security. Authorities wish to keep prisoners on the Central Java island for as little time as possible before their execution. They are required to give the condemned prisoners a minimum 72 hours notice of their pending deaths. With the Bali Nine pair in place on the island, Jakarta unexpectedly shifted gear on Friday and said it would respect prisoners' ongoing legal processes.

It\u2019s a new blow to Mrs Fairhead, chairman of the BBC Trust and a non-executive director of HSBC, who is facing growing calls to quit one of her high-profile jobs over claims of a conflict of interest. She is due to be questioned by MPs tomorrow after The Mail on Sunday revealed that she was paid \u00a3513,000 for just 50 days work at the troubled bank last year, vastly exceeding her \u00a3110,000 salary for what is supposed to be her main job overseeing the BBC. Last month HSBC came under fire over allegations that its Swiss banking arm helped wealthy clients dodge millions of pounds of British taxes, and that it sought to influence media coverage. Silenced: Retired businessman Michael Mason-Mahon (right) who said Rona Fairhead was not a fit and proper person to be chairwoman of the BBC Trust, will not be shown . Now an HSBC shareholder has claimed the BBC refused to broadcast an interview with him in which he declared that Mrs Fairhead was not a fit and proper person to be heading the Trust. Retired businessman Michael Mason-Mahon says he was invited to Broadcasting House in Central London to discuss the turmoil at HSBC in an on-the-record interview with a BBC business reporter on February 23. His interview failed to feature in the broadcaster\u2019s coverage of the HSBC story that evening. He believes it was shelved because of his remarks questioning Mrs Fairhead\u2019s fitness to run the Trust. He said: \u2018I said during the interview I disagreed with her appointment as BBC Trust chairwoman. \u2018I couldn\u2019t understand why a non-executive director who is there to protect the shareholders ignored us when we told her on numerous occasions in the past about illegal behaviour that was going on involving HSBC. \u2018It\u2019s my personal belief she\u2019s not a fit and proper person to be chairwoman of the BBC Trust. The HSBC item was shown, but my interview was not in it. I believe it may have been suppressed.\u2019 Mr Mason-Mahon has attempted to obtain a copy of the interview but has been told that this would be against BBC policy. Mr Mason-Mahon is well-known for his outbursts at the annual general meetings of big public companies. Last May he brought a lawsuit against HSBC\u2019s North American arm after it was fined \u00a31.2 billion having been found guilty in 2012 of allowing Mexican drug cartels to launder money. Last week former BBC chairman Sir Christopher Bland called on Mrs Fairhead either to give up her post at HSBC or to resign from the Trust. Tomorrow she is due to appear in her role as an HSBC Board member in front of the Commons public accounts committee, which has fiercely attacked tax-dodging corporations.

Titled Game Of Cuts (Winter Is Coming For Councils), it was produced by a campaign group which is calling for fairer funding and fewer cuts for the councils it represents - 45 urban authorities in northern, midland and south-coast regions of England. The production, which cost \u00a311,000, cleverly echoes the drama played out in the hit HBO show. Game Of Thrones spoof Game Of Cuts was produced by campaign group Sigoma, which is calling for fairer funding and fewer cuts for the councils it represents - 45 urban authorities in northern, midland and south-coast regions of England . Made by Sigoma (Special Interest Group of Municipal Authorities), it depicts a fictional kingdom where funding cuts have meant some regions cannot fund vital services, while other areas moan about not having luxuries. In the opening scene are characters based on those from the House of Lannister - a rich and powerful dynasty in the south. Among them is a parody of King Joffrey Baratheon, a ruthless ruler, who is informed: 'The seven kingdoms prosper once more. 'We must not jeopardise this by pandering to the whims of the north... Our funding cuts will help to protect the future of the seven kingdoms.' Honourable northerner Lord Ned Starp (played in the actual series by Sean Bean as Ned Stark) is seen right, in the foreground. He says to the evil King Joffrey of the south (left: 'Your grace, what is the meaning of this? The people of the northern cities are already on their knees!

But at every turn, Starp's entreaties are scoffed at. To join Sigoma, council must pay an initial fee of \u00a33,000. However, the film has been criticised by Conservative party vice-chairman and former local government minister Bob Neill. He said: 'Taxpayers' money shouldn't be used to subsidise the Box Set fantasies of town hall officials. At the end of the short film, the king fires an arrow at Lord Starp, whose pleas for more funding in the north are scoffed at . According to Sigoma, by March 2016, the amount of funding cuts for regions will be: . 'It's a complete waste of money, but also a complete fiction.

'This was a good test from which we can draw some conclusions,' said Low, who recently extended his contract to 2018. 'But the team's tension will increase ahead of the Georgia game. We will be much more concentrated against them.' Joachim Low is looking for a response from Germany following a poor performance against Australia . Germany's Marco Reus gives the World Cup winners a 17th minute lead at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion . Low fielded an experimental three-man backline that not surprisingly failed to shine given Shkodran Mustafi, Benedikt Hoewedes and Holger Badstuber, back after a two-and-a-half year absence, had never played together. 'We never really had our defence under control,' Low admitted but said he would continue experimenting as he looks to make his team more flexible, with his players shifting positions more often.

Ex-Scotland football captain Colin Hendry is preparing to fight a ban from the roads after blaming his drink driving on a 'rare' metabolism.

Officers had claimed Hendry who was nicknamed 'Braveheart' when he captain of Scotland was almost twice the limit after failing a breathalyser test.

Its presence has potentially been spotted in a dwarf matter orbiting the Milky Way which is radiating gamma rays - the most powerful form of radioactive waves known in the universe. How these mysterious waves are made, and where exactly they come from have baffled scientists for years, but scientists believe they are a sign for dark matter. Scroll down for video . Scientists at Brown, Carnegie Mellon, and Cambridge universities have detected gamma ray emissions from the direction of the galaxy Reticulum 2. Bright areas indicate a strong gamma ray signal coming from the direction of the galaxy, according to the researchers\u2019 search algorithm . Dark matter is the missing substance that makes up to 80 per cent of the universe's mass. It has been described as 'the most important unsolved problems in modern physics.' 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. The galaxy, named Reticulum 2, was discovered within the past few weeks in the data of the Dark Energy Survey. At 98,000 light-years from Earth, Reticulum 2 is one of the nearest dwarf galaxies yet detected . According to physicists at Carnegie Mellon, Brown and Cambridge universities, gamma rays coming from the direction of the galaxy are in excess of what would be expected from normal background. 'Something in the direction of this dwarf galaxy is emitting gamma rays,' said Alex Geringer-Sameth, a postdoctoral research associate at Carnegie Mellon University. 'There's no conventional reason this galaxy should be giving off gamma rays, so it's potentially a signal for dark matter,' said Alex Geringer-Sameth, a postdoctoral research associate in CMU's Department of Physics and the paper's lead author. 'In the search for dark matter, gamma rays from a dwarf galaxy have long been considered a very strong signature,' added Brown University's Savvas Koushiappas Koushiappas, an assistant professor of physics. 'It seems like we may now be detecting such a thing for the first time.' The researchers caution that while these preliminary results are exciting, there's more work to be done to confirm a dark matter origin. Scientists know that dark matter exists because it exerts gravitational effects on visible matter, which explains the observed rotation of galaxies and galaxy clusters as well as the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background.

Housing minister Brandon Lewis branded Labour the 'enemy of aspiration' over growing moves by the party to curb the right of people to buy their council home. Earlier this month, Ed Miliband's housing adviser Sir Michael Lyons described right to buy as a 'failure'. Welsh Labour has said it will restrict or even abolish the right to buy if it wins power in the principality next year. Ministers fear Mr Miliband could cut a post-election deal with the SNP, which has already scrapped the right to buy. Earlier this month, Labour leader Ed Miliband's (pictured) housing adviser Sir Michael Lyons described right to buy as a 'failure' And a string of Labour councils have introduced moves in recent months that will curb the right to buy in the future. A number of Labour-run authorities are exploiting a loophole in the law to avoid having to offer council-owned homes for sale to their tenants. Enfield Council, in London, has set up a private company to buy up local properties for rent, boasting that the new company will be 'exempt from right-to-buy obligations \u2013 meaning the properties would be owned by the council until the authority chooses to sell them.' Sheffield Council has set up a new firm to build and run more than 2,000 homes in the city. And other Labour-run councils such as Ealing and Thurrock are now following suit. Mr Lewis said he would act to outlaw the practice if the Conservatives win power in May. But he also accused Labour of a wider attempt to run down the right to buy, which the Tories are expected to extend. Mr Lewis said: 'Once again the Labour Party is proving itself to be the enemy of aspiration by trying to block the rights of hard working people to buy their own home. 'The right to buy not only gives something back to families who worked hard, paid their rent and played by the rules, it also allows them to do up their home, change their front door, improve their garden - without getting permission from the council. 'This Government has worked hard to reinvigorate the scheme, which gives people a sense of pride and ownership not just in their home, but in their street and neighbourhood, helping to build strong families and stable mixed communities. Now Housing Minister Brandon Lewis claims Labour is trying to shut down Margaret Thatcher's flagship 'right to buy' policy by the back door . 'By contrast in Labour-run Wales the housing ladder has been kicked away for thousands of hardworking families and Welsh Labour is returning to its outdated socialist dogma, believing that government rather than individuals know what is best for them and their families.'

(Bodley Head \u00a325) The exhilarating finale of a musical called Sunny Afternoon currently offers one of the great nightly spectacles in London\u2019s so-called \u2018theatreland\u2019, as hundreds of mostly middle-aged punters leap or, in some cases, creak to their feet, jigging and jiving to the music of The Kinks. Just a few weeks ago, I was one of them, and resolved as I left to learn more about the singular life of Ray Davies, the band\u2019s brilliant but melancholic frontman, who wrote such timelessly wonderful hits as Waterloo Sunset, You Really Got Me, Lola and, indeed, Sunny Afternoon. Ray Davies (pictured) is the brilliant, but sometimes melancholic, frontman of The Kinks . Well, Johnny Rogan\u2019s monumental biography has filled all the gaps in my knowledge of one of the men who made the Sixties swing (while simultaneously lampooning the Swinging Sixties with his mickey-take of Carnaby Street dandies, Dedicated Follower Of Fashion). Gloriously rousing though it is, the stage show hardly does justice to the enigma that is Raymond Douglas Davies. Mercurial, introspective, sometimes cruel and spectacularly, almost sociopathically, mean with money, but also sensitive, principled and capable of great kindness, Davies is above all one of the creative geniuses of our age. Those who are or have been close to him, including his brother Dave and the singer Chrissie Hynde (the mother of one of his four daughters), might not always echo the sentiment, but we are lucky to have him. Davies was born in 1944 in Muswell Hill, North London, on the night of an air raid. It was a suitably explosive beginning. He was the seventh child in a boisterous, tight-knit, working-class family but, more significantly, the first son. One of the pivotal episodes in shaping his complex personality came before he was three years old, when baby David arrived, rudely undermining his status.

A High Court judge in London has declared that the 2006 Health Act, which prohibits lighting up in public and in workplaces, applies to all Crown premises, including prisons. It comes after Mr Justice Singh rejected Justice Secretary Chris Grayling's argument that the Crown had immunity from the Act. Criminals could be banned from smoking in the communal areas of prisons following a landmark ruling at the High Court in London . However, the judge accepted his ruling had wide-ranging implications and said it should not take effect until Mr Grayling has had a chance to appeal. The judge was told by Government lawyers that criminalising smoking could lead to unrest in the jails of England and Wales. Prisoners can smoke in their cells with the door shut and outside in exercise yards, but both inmates and staff could face prosecution for lighting up in communal areas if the ruling is not overturned on appeal. The case was brought by Paul Black, an inmate at HMP Wymott in Lancashire, who says he suffers from a range of health problems made worse by second-hand smoke. High Court judge Mr Justice Singh, pictured, made the ruling after rejecting the argument that Crown premises had immunity from the Health Act 2006, which bans smoking in public places and in workplaces . Lawyers for Black, a sex offender who has been at Wymott since 2009, argued both prisoners and staff were guilty of lighting-up in areas prohibited under prison rules, including on landings, in laundry rooms and in healthcare waiting rooms. Lawyers for the Justice Secretary maintained the rules and regulations, especially the sanction of withdrawal of privileges, were sufficient to deal any problem. The Health Act already applies to private prisons as they are not Crown premises. Mr Justice Singh, sitting in London, declared: 'In my judgment it is clear from the terms of the 2006 Act that the intention of Parliament was indeed that it should apply to all public places and workplaces which fell within its scope, including those for which the Crown is responsible.' But giving permission to appeal, the judge acknowledged concerns in the Prison Service over the impact of his decision on 'prisoners who feel the need to smoke and may be resistant to the criminalising of that conduct in places where in my view the Health Act does apply.' Black had also argued that prisoners were legally entitled to anonymous and confidential access to the NHS freephone smoke-free compliance line to report infringements of the rules. The judge said that issue should be reconsidered by the Justice Secretary in the light of his judgment. Black is serving a sentence of indeterminate detention for public protection (IPP) after being convicted in 2007 of sexual assault and outraging public decency. His minimum term in jail expired after 203 days but he cannot be released on licence until the Parole Board decides he is no longer a danger to the public.

Mathematicians have developed a series of theories that can help people find the perfect partner. These include tips such as not trying to hide the less attractive parts of your appearance in your online dating profile pictures and looking for people who had fewer colds as a child. Scroll down for video . Dr Hannah Fry's (pictured left) book (right) explains how maths underpins love. She said the Discreet Choice Theory dictates that if there are two women - A and B - who men rank as equally attractive, if a third woman comes along who looks like a less attractive version of woman A, then woman A becomes more popular . They have also proposed mathematical approaches to finding the perfect wife or husband - by not choosing to settle down until after the age of 22 years old. Dr Hannah Fry, a lecturer at University College London and author of a new book on The Mathematics of Love, outlined the theories at the Oxford Literary Festival. She said that choosing friends who are slightly less attractive than you when going out looking for love could also bring advantages. This is known as the Discreet Choice Theory, where the presence of an irrelevant alternative can change how you view your choices. In her book, Dr Hannah Fry suggest a number of techniques to help people find true love. Have friends who are less attractive than you: Known as Discreet Choice Theory, the idea is that if there are two women - A and B - who men rank as being equally attractive, if a third woman comes along who looks like a less attractive version of woman A, then woman A becomes more popular with the men. Highlight your flaws: Analysis from dating websites has shown that often it is not those who are rated the 'most attractive' who get the most responses from other users. Instead it appears to be those that divide opinion - so those that have something that sets them apart from the rest of the crowds. Men with bald heads, for example, should not wear a hat to cover their pate as their lack of hair will be attractive to some. Those who are overweight should also not use clever photo cropping to hide what they perceive as flaws. This means people who find these traits attractive will face less competition than messaging those who have 'perfect' profile pictures. This formula produced by psychologist John Gottmann and mathematician James Murray predicts how positive or negative a wife and husband will be when they respond in the next turn of a conversation. The most successful couples are those that allow each other to complain and don't let trivial problems build up .

Scroll down for video . The firing squad execution chamber at the Utah State Prison in Draper, Utah in June 2010. Utah became the only state to allow firing squads for executions when Governor Gary Herbert signed a law Monday approving the method for use when no lethal injection drugs are available . However, enforcing death sentences is 'the obligation of the executive branch'. The governor's office noted that other states allow execution methods other than lethal injection. In Washington state, inmates can request hanging. In New Hampshire, hangings are fallback if lethal injections can't be given. Ronnie Lee Gardner, pictured above, was the last person killed by firing squad in the U.S. after choosing this method of execution. Gardner, 49, was executed on June 18, 2010, at 12.15am at Utah State Prison in Draper. In 1984, Gardner had killed Melvyn John Otterstrom, shooting him in the face during a robbery in Salt Lake City and leaving his body to be found by his wife. In April 1985, he shot dead attorney Michael Burdell at a court hearing as he tried to escape. He was given a life sentence for the first murder and condemned to die for the second.

And an Oklahoma law would allow the state to use firing squads if lethal injections are ever declared unconstitutional. Utah's new approval of firing squads carries no such legal caveat and represents the latest example of frustration over botched executions and the difficulty of obtaining lethal injection drugs as manufacturers opposed to capital punishment have made them off-limits to prisons. Death by firing squad requires detailed preparations.

A target is pinned to the prisoner's heart with the intention that shots be fired into the heart rather than the head and the individual will bleed out quickly.

Hodgson will represent England, but Dyke plans to dodge the event after reacting to a tough World Cup draw by making a cut-throat gesture. 'Roy will go, I'm not allowed after what happened last time,' said Dyke. England, who play Lithuania at Wembley on Fridayare cruising towards Euro 2016 in France, winning the first four qualifiers to establish a six-point lead at the top of a group from which the top two automatically go through. England and Everton centre back Phil Jagielka speaks to the media after training on Tuesday . Hodgson will be 70 at the time of the World Cup in Russia but has proved a popular manager with FA chiefs and players alike since he replaced Fabio Capello, in 2012. The Euro 2016 qualification process has been so tame, however, that a final decision on his contract may even be shelved until after the finals as England bid to improve on their World Cup flop, when they failed to win a game. 'Without being disrespectful, this group isn't the toughest,' said centre-half Phil Jagielka. 'Time will tell in the tournament. There is a bit of pressure on and that is when the judgment will be clearer. Wayne Rooney (centre) leads his England team-mates on a lap as they continue their preparations for Friday . 'We need to have a good tournament in France to back him if Roy is going to stay on, but the boys are desperate to do that. He's a likeable person and a good man-manager.

Weighing just 4lb 13oz each, they were wired up to a tangle of bleeping monitors, tubes and drips. After weeks of complications and treatments in hospital, the twins were finally well enough to go home and have their first cuddle in a Moses basket, dressed in matching pink sleep suits. Katy Mold, 31, gave birth to twin girls Darcey and Eden (pictured) after going into labour at the 34-week stage of her pregnancy and both girls were born with holes in their hearts - known as congenital heart defects . Parents Katy (pictured left with the twin girls) and David Mold (right), from Sway, Hampshire, have been in and out of Southampton General Hospital after both girls fell unwell after the birth and needed urgent care . Their mother Katy, 31, said yesterday: 'They're both little fighters. They really are both little miracles.' The twins were born just one minute apart in an emergency Caesarean on November 25, after Mrs Mold's waters broke 34 weeks into pregnancy when she choked on a crisp.

'Sitting around watching them in a box was the hardest thing.' But this was only the start of an emotional roller coaster for Mrs Mold, a college secretary, and her husband David, 47, who runs an event management business. When Eden was eight days old, she had to have a six-hour operation to repair narrowing of her aorta, the large blood vessel in the heart, and to have her pulmonary artery 'banded' to reduce blood flow to her lungs. The operation was a success but days later Darcey, who had been allowed to go home because her heart condition was not life-threatening, turned blue and was rushed back to Southampton General Hospital where her sister was recovering.

Residents in North Stifford, Essex, say the 'pointless' bus lane on High Road - which at 50ft long is not big enough for a double-decker - should never have been built. The quirk in the road means cars and vans are forced off a stretch of straight road and onto a narrow 'chicane-like' bend in order to avoid breaking the law. Residents in North Stifford, Essex, are asking why the 'pointless' bus lane on High Road (pictured) which is just 50ft long and is not long enough for a double-decker bus, was built. They claim it is a 'hazard' Every week thousands of drivers have to make the awkward manoeuvre despite only a handful of buses being timetabled to come along the route each day. Following a series of accidents, the lane has now been branded a 'hazard' with motorists questioning what its purpose is. Emma Taylor, 24, a hairdresser from nearby Grays, spotted the strange road layout when she was driving at the weekend. She said: 'It really is bizarre. I drove through it on the way to my mum's house. 'I found it so strange that I actually had to turn back and have another look to make sure I was not seeing things.

The home improvement chain is to close as many as 60 of its 360 stores over the next two years as part of a restructuring of its UK and Ireland business. Shares in Kingfisher, which trades as B&Q and Screwfix in the UK, jumped up 16p each - a five per cent rise - when the London Stock Exchange opened this morning. Changes: B&Q is to close as many as 60 of its 360 stores over the next two years as part of a restructuring of its UK and Ireland business . Parent company Kingfisher, which also owns Screwfix, plans to axe about 15 per cent of surplus space as a result of the review of its 360-strong B&Q estate. The move was announced as it posted a 7.5 per cent drop in annual profits to \u00a3675million after sales fell by 1.4 per cent to \u00a311billion in the year to January 31. This is down from 744million in the 2013-14 year. The planned store closures form part of a plan by new Chief Executive Veronique Laury to shake-up the 360-store B&Q business. Kingfisher, which trades as B&Q and Screwfix in Britain and Castorama and Brico Depot in France, made a pre-tax profit of 675 million pounds in the year to January 31.The results are the first to be presented by Laury, who succeeded Ian Cheshire in December. Veronique Laury said the closure plan was one of a number of 'sharp' decisions being taken by the FTSE 100 company. She added: 'Home improvement is a great market with huge potential and Kingfisher has a strong position within it with further scope to grow in a sustainable way. However, it is clear to me that we need to organise ourselves very differently to unlock our potential.' Other plans include cutting back on some of the 393,000 products sold across the company, particularly as only 7,000 - amounting to 7 per cent of sales - are currently sold in at least two of Kingfisher's operating companies. The company will also look to optimise vacant store space and is in discussions with several retailers about sub-letting opportunities. Kingfisher said the impact on jobs from the B&Q store closure plan will be broadly neutral as it is opening about 60 outlets under the Screwfix brand, while it will also look to redeploy positions to other parts of the business. Ms Laury denied that the UK DIY market was in decline and said the store closure plan reflected a desire to reinvigorate the company's UK offer. She added that it had long been clear that B&Q had too many stores in its estate. B&Q UK & Ireland's total sales were up 1.9 per cent to \u00a33.7 billion in the financial year, with sales of outdoor seasonal and building products up 4 per cent.

She had waited for him while he served in the army. They had two children, a dog and a vegetable garden. But their love story took a tragic turn last Thursday as the couple walked across a shopping center to meet high school friends for their monthly lunch reunion. WWII veteran Clark Biddle died a hero after pushing Betty, his wife of 68 years, out of the way from an oncoming car. They were high school sweethearts in Columbus, Ohio . Betty had broken her hip two years ago, and was relying on her husband and a walker to help her move that day. When Clark saw that she was in danger as a car began backing out of a parking space, he didn't hesitate. Betty was bruised, but Clark had been struck. He fell and hit his head, suffering massive brain trauma. He passed away two days later. 'I don't know if I'm going to make it without him,' Betty told the Columbus Dispatch. Betty said she misses Clark 'every minute', and kisses the picture that she carries around of the two of them, sitting at the kitchen table together, 'a number of times a day'.

'Sometimes I wish I was with him, I really do,' she said. Gary Biddle, the couple's son, said his father was acting on instinct when he saved Betty. He had been her primary caregiver ever since her injury two years ago. 'This is dad, he would sacrifice himself for others and always cared for them, more than thinking about himself,' he told the Columbus Dispatch. Clark was a pilot. He also opened and owned a drive-in restaurant bearing his name for 25 years, and played the saxophone and clarinet for dance bands. He was a well-known member of his community, unable to go to the grocery store without running into people he knew, according to his son-in-law Dan Cress. Clark was also a friendly neighbor. Laura Jones told the Columbus Dispatch that he would let her dog out every day while she was at work after her husband died six years ago.

After failing to stop George Boyd, not many will fancy their chances of coping with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at the Nou Camp on Wednesday. It was a famous night at Turf Moor, their first win over City since 1974 ranking alongside their 2009 victory against Manchester United in their first season in the Premier League when Robbie Blake scored the winner. City deserved what they got \u2014 absolutely nothing. Their manager, Manuel Pellegrini, looked pale and drawn by the final whistle as well he might.

It was City, not the underdogs of Burnley, who used illegitimate strongarm tactics. Sergio Aguero was lucky that referee Andre Marriner did not spot his studs-up challenge that caught Michael Duff on the ankle. Martin Demichelis crudely targeted Clarets dangerman Danny Ings and caught him in the leg, chin and back of the head on at least three occasions. The Argentine was very fortunate not to sent off on the totting-up procedure. Everywhere you looked there was a City horror story. David Silva gave one of his worst performances in a City shirt and was hooked after missing their best chance from Aguero\u2019s pass.

Burnley are still third from bottom but only one point behind Sunderland in the Premier League safety zone. And their winning goal after 61 minutes was excellent. Kieran Tripper\u2019s delivery from a free-kick was fantastic, Kompany rose to head away from goal but only to Boyd, lurking on the edge of the box.

After stabbing his mother repeatedly the 21-year-old turned the knife on himself to cut off his genitalia and was heard shouting: 'I love you but this is the prophecy' near their home in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. Charles Mann, 21, stabbed his mother Emma 11 times and cut off his own penis after taking a cocktail of miaow miaow, cannabis and alcohol . He was jailed for 16 months today after admitting Grievous Bodily Harm. As her son entered the dock at Hove Crown Court, Ms Mann was seen mouthing 'I love you' in his direction. She required surgery for multiple punctures to one of her lungs and was wounded on her arms, head and neck following the attack. The court heard how she made a frantic 999 call at 6.20am on December 29, telling operators: 'My son's just attacked me and stabbed me and he's going mental downstairs with the knives.' Ms Mann was woken when her son returned home and began 'trashing' his room. The court heard how he followed her into the kitchen where he stabbed her 11 times. The 21-year-old, who received treatment at a psychiatric facility before being transferred to Lewes Prison, was so high during the attack he was 'not responding to pain'. 'He was not reacting to pain and was described as manic and deranged,' said prosecuting counsel Amy Packham.

Earlier Ms Mann spoke at the difficulty of seeing her son's fate 'already sealed'. 'This case has a number of features which make it if not unique wholly exceptional.

Elderly and vulnerable patients will be offered longer GP appointments \u2013 including at weekends \u2013 in an attempt to reduce the chances of them ending up in hospital. They will have 30-minute in-depth appointments with a family doctor in the hope that any underlying problems will be picked up before they require emergency admission. As part of a \u00a3200million scheme aimed at providing better care for the most vulnerable, some patients will also undergo consultations with A&E nurses via webcams to establish whether it is really necessary for them to go to casualty. Simon Stevens, the NHS\u2019s chief executive, yesterday announced the pilot scheme, which will be rolled out in 29 areas covering a total of five million patients. It is hoped the scheme will gradually expand across England with the aim of treating more patients at home, or at their GP surgery, rather than in hospital. The idea is to bring together hospitals, GPs, community services and care homes to provide more joined-up care. Mr Stevens said the set-up of the NHS is too \u2018fragmented\u2019, meaning patients are passed \u2018from pillar to post\u2019. Specialist doctors, GPs, nurses and physiotherapists do not work closely together nor spend enough time on preventative care, trying to avoid patients\u2019 conditions deteriorating. The present system also means that patients with several long-term conditions may have to go to a different hospital outpatient clinic 20 or so miles away, several times a month. In an interview for BBC Radio 4\u2019s World at One programme, he said: \u2018In England we\u2019ve got a growing population and an ageing population and one of the big tests is can we provide compassionate, high-quality care for older people who have several different health problems at once. \u2018Too many parts of the service are quite fragmented. Increasingly that\u2019s a problem. People aren\u2019t getting preventative care they need. Often people are being passed from pillar to post, or ending up in accident and emergency departments when they could have avoided it.\u2019 Eventually, Mr Stevens wants many of the complex procedures provided by hospitals to be routinely available at GP surgeries a few miles from patients\u2019 homes. Each area involved in this first phase of the scheme offers slightly different services depending on the needs of the population. In Airedale, West Yorkshire, patients in care homes will be offered consultations via webcams with nurses in A&E units at any time of the day and night. If they suffer a fall, rather than calling an ambulance, staff at the care home will set up the internet consultation with a nurse at the hospital. The nurse will then liaise with a senior doctor and decide if the patient needs to come to A&E immediately or can wait for a GP home visit. In Northamptonshire, the 7 per cent of patients deemed to be the most vulnerable will be offered 30-minute appointments with their GP rather than the standard ten minutes.

Ultra-conservative politician Fred Nile has lashed out at Sydney's Mardi Gras celebration, saying parenting not promiscuity should be celebrated. Mr Nile posted this image to his official Facebook account on Saturday, just as Mardi Gras Parade celebrations were getting underway. Marriage equality advocates have slammed an advertisement that aired during Sydney's Mardi Gras celebrations on Saturday night claiming children from same-sex couples are disadvantaged. 'With so much coverage and celebration of Mardi Gras, it's important to also be thankful for natural relationships - for the mum and the dad,' the spokeswoman said. 'Without that traditional relationship, natural reproduction wouldn't be possible. It's very important to celebrate natural couples and those values.' His controversial comments came as an advertisement claiming same-sex marriage disadvantaged children aired on TV on Saturday night. It was organised and paid for by the Australian Marriage Forum, a group 'disappointed with the one-sided debate' surrounding the issue. The 40-second spot starts with a mother at a park saying: 'We hear a lot about marriage equality, but what about equality for kids?' Dr David Gend, president of the Australian Marriage Forum and a family doctor based in Toowoomba, Queensland, says in the commercial that 'so-called marriage equality forces a child to miss out on a mother or a father'. The Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby accused the commercial of not only missing the point on marriage equality, but of also attempting to fight a losing battle. 'That's not equality; that's not marriage,' Dr Gend says. It also asks for supporters to donate money to the group. Marriage equality advocates have slammed the ad, and said the campaign is trying to mislead people on the issue. 'The first point for us is that marriage equality and same-sex couples having children are two different equations,' GLRL Co-Convenor Justin Koonin told Daily Mail Australia. 'Same-sex couples already can and do have children - marriage equality is not going to change that. 'If the people behind this video were really thinking of the children, they would support marriage equality so that all kids, including those with same-sex parents, could say their parents are married.' Mr Koonin also said most Australians could see through claims that marriage equality disadvantages children, and that most had 'moved on' from that discussion. 'They definitely aren't fooling anyone,' he said. 'If they want to make that claim, have some evidence to support it. 'The majority of evidence shows there is no disadvantage to children with same-sex parents, and in fact most are slightly better off than average.'", "summary": "Image Fred Nile posted reads 'parenting, not promiscuity worth celebrating' Nile's post came as an anti-marriage equality commercial airs in Sydney .

The CDLS is located in the central pedestal between both pilots and has a toggle switch which controls the door. They also have a CCTV camera so they can see who is seeking access, and if they are under any form of duress. Pilots can restrict access to the flight deck although cabin crew can gain entry in an emergency. However, this emergency access can be over-ridden by the pilot for between five to 20 minutes. The limited time to keep the door closed is itself a safety feature, in case the flight crew become incapacitated. After the predetermined time, the keypad on the outside of the cockpit door will become operational again, unless the pilot actively restricts access again.

Michael Hubner claimed Atlantis was overwhelmed by a tsunami, which then receded leaving the remains undiscovered, near the coast of Marrakesh. The German computer expert formed his theory using mathematics to calculate the precise GPS coordinates of the lost city.

They came up with the 'game-changing' design for the sliding door on the luggage which opens at the touch of a button. 'We're all too familiar with that frustrating moment when you realise you quickly need something out of your bag,' The Trunkster team writes on their Kickstarter page. 'With Trunkster\u2019s revolutionary sliding door, you no longer have to unzip your entire bag and flap it open. The rolltop door lets you instantly access your belongings in one swift motion.' For passengers who are less keen on getting their hands on the latest gadgets and more interested in having enough room for cheeky holiday purchases there is the Fugu. For \u00a3399, users can also have a removable battery pack that can charge a device up to nine times, a built-in GPS and a built-in digital scale in the handle. A few months later in October the first deliveries of carry-on suitcase Bluesmart will be shipped out. Designed by a team from New York and funded by an Indiegogo campaign, the bag is connected by Bluetooth to the user's smartphone. Via an app, the owner can lock and unlock it and work out how much it weights. Sensors in the suitcase automatically detect if the owner has walked away and lock it or notify the user if it is being left behind. The suitcase, which is available for \u00a3120 for early backers on Indiegogo will be shipped out by August. 'We came up with the idea for Bluesmart after suffering a couple of bad experiences with our luggage, when airlines forced us to check bags only to have them mishandled or lost,' said Tomi Pierucci, co-founder of Bluesmart. 'We realised that with all the amazing technology available today, we could do better. 'Suitcases haven\u2019t seen much innovation in decades, so we decided to design a suitcase", "summary": "New generation of suitcases being designed to suit connected generation . Suitcases like Trunkster, Pluggage and Bluesmart come with GPS trackers, built in scales and smart locks to be controlled with a smartphone . Devices such as Trakdot tracker and eGeeTouch lock can be added to existing luggage to track and lock it . Inflatable suitcase that can triple in size being developed ."}

The row was sparked by a sudden increase in the magazine's sales and revenue in the wake of the brutal attacks on January 7, according to the Times. It has reportedly made \u00a321.6million since then after its usual circulation of 30,000-a-week rocketed to hundreds of thousands. Now the surviving staff members want that money and shares of the magazine - 40 per cent of which are owned by its murdered editor's parents - to be divided equally.

Terror: On January 7, brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi raided the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris and killed 11 people, sparking a string of terror attacks across the city . As many as 11 employees have instructed their lawyers to turn the magazine - which has published cartoons of the prophet Muhammad on its cover - into a workers' cooperative. It would mean they all have a stake in the company but their move has been attacked by another anonymous contributor in a leaked email to French news agency Agence France-Presse. The unnamed contributor accused the plotters of trying to grab the shares that belonged to the magazine's murdered editor Stephane Charbonnier 'before the worms have finished eating him'. 40 per cent of the company is owned by his parents, another 40 by the magazine's new editor Laurent Sourisseau and the final 20 per cent belongs to financial director Eric Portheault. One of the magazine's journalists Laurent L\u00e9ger said: 'A new distribution of the capital would allow for the incredible influx of funds to the newspaper to be used in the most transparent manner possible.' And Patrick Pelloux - who writes a column for Charlie Hebdo - believes a co-operative would bind contributors to the newspaper. He said: 'When a company has been decimated, you feel completely tied to it. It is not a question of sharing the cake. The money does not interest us.' However a spokesman for Sourisseau and Portheault said: 'All this money is doing more harm than good.

In research looking back over IQ tests from the past few decades, they found that the tests were becoming harder - but people were still doing just as well. But the reasons why people are becoming smarter is not known - with theories including better education and improved medical care. Researchers at Kings College London looked at scores over 64 years. In total, more than 200,000 participants in IQ tests were studied. Since 1950, average intelligence was found to have risen by about 20 IQ points. Explanations include better education (stock image shown) and improved medical care . The research, titled A Cross-Temporal Meta-Analysis of Raven's Progressive Matrices and reported by William Kremer for the BBC, was published in the journal intelligence. Carried out by Peera Wongupparaj, Veena Kumari and Robin Morris from Kings College London, they looked specifically at the Raven\u2019s Progressive Matrices (RPM). Poverty affects the intelligence of children as young as two, a separate study in December 2014 found - and its impact increases as the child ages. Deprived young children were found to have IQ scores six points lower, on average, than children from wealthier families. And the gap got wider throughout childhood, with the early difference tripling by the time the children reached adolescence. Scientists from Goldsmiths, University of London compared data on almost 15,000 children and their parents as part of the Twins Early Development Study (Teds). The study is an on-going investigation socio-economic and genetic links to intelligence. This tasks participants with looking for patterns in an array of shapes - and is thought to be a good measure of intelligence. In total, more than 200,000 participants from 48 countries over 64 years were studied in the research. Since 1950, it was found that the average intelligence had risen by the equivalent of 20 IQ points. 'RPM is a valid and reliable measure of general IQ, Dr Wongupparaj told MailOnline. 'Also, it is cultural-free test so that it has been widely used for nearly 80 years.' \u2018IQ tests are designed to ensure that the average result is always 100, so this is a significant jump,\u2019 the BBC reported. The research builds on earlier evidence from philosopher and psychologist James Flynn, from the University of Otaga in New Zealand. He had noticed that IQ tests were getting harder, but people were still getting similar scores on them - which became known as the Flynn Effect. This graph shows how the Raven\u2019s Progressive Matrices (RPM) scores have been increasing over time.

Astronomers have discovered that a strange ring of distant stars may actually be part of our galaxy, making it 50 per cent bigger at 150,000 light-years wide. This is based on re-analysis of a distant ring that surrounds our galaxy, which the astronomers think is now actually part of the Milky Way. Astronomers in New York have revised the size estimate for our galaxy (shown). They now say it is 50 per cent bigger in size at 150,000 light-years wide, not 100,000 light-years. This is based on re-examining a ring of stars in the so-called Monoceros Ring . The team of scientists from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York studied the Monoceros Ring, which is a long ring-like filament of stars that \u2018wraps\u2019 around our galaxy three times. It is located 65,000 light-years from our galaxy\u2019s centre, and in total is 200,000 light-years in length. Previously it was thought to be a stream of stars torn from the nearby Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy due to interactions with the Milky Way. The Milky Way is thought contain more than 200 billion stars.

On a clear night, when you look up into the night sky the most you can see from any one point on the Earth is about 2,500 stars. Like more than two-thirds of the known galaxies, the Milky Way has a spiral shape. At the centre of the spiral, a lot of energy and, occasionally, vivid flares are created. Astronomers believe the Milky Way wasn\u2019t always a stunning barred spiral. It formed into its current size by \u2018eating\u2019 other galaxies. Now, however, it seems that the ring may actually be part of our own galaxy, and could have been disturbed by other dwarf galaxies. \u2018It looks to me like maybe these patterns are following the spiral structure of the Milky Way, so they may be related,\u2019 Dr Heidi Newberg, from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, told Discovery News. \u2018It now looks to me like it\u2019s part of the disk,\u2019 she added. The latest discovery was made using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a projecting to map parts of the universe in three dimensions. The results will be published in the Astrophysical Journal. Another ring, known as the TriAnd Ring, may also be part of the Milky Way, further increasing its size. To verify their theory, astronomers will use data from Europe\u2019s Gaia telescope, which is also mapping stars in the Milky Way.

The average length of an erect penis is 5.2 inches (13.12 cm), they found. Meanwhile, the average length of a flaccid penis is 3.6 inches (9.16 cm) and 5.2 inches (13.24 cm) when flaccid but stretched. And when it comes to girth, the average erect circumference was 4.6 inches (11.66 cm) and 3.7 inches (9.31 cm) when flaccid. The British research also found there was a small correlation between the erect length of a penis and a man's height. The average length of a flaccid penis is 3.6 inches (9.16 cm) and 5.2 inches (13.24 cm) when flaccid but stretched, the researchers found (file photo) The researchers say the graphs they have plotted, which show the size distributions of a penis, will help clinicians dealing with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a serious anxiety disorder relating to body image. The study could help to counsel men worried about their size, or with investigations into how condom failure relates to penis size and girth. Some men are concerned about their penis size, and those who are preoccupied and severely distressed may even be diagnosed with BDD.

The research included 17 studies of 15,521 men who underwent penis size measurements by health professionals using a standard procedure. Before this research, there had been no formal systematic reviews of these measurements, and no attempt to create a nomogram showing the distribution of size.

Additionally, the number of monkey's infected by the bioterror bacterium at the Tulane Prime Research Center has increased from eight to nine and are expected to continue rising, officials say. Three of the monkeys have already been euthanized after showing signs of Burkholderia pseudomallei, which was being studied in a secure lab in another part of the 500-acre facility. The test results showed the employee was 'just at the threshold for a verified positive result' and has not shown any symptoms of the diseases the bacteria can bring on, such as tuberculosis, according to NOLA.com. Despite thorough investigations by bothb federal and state authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the cause of the contamination is still unknown. Concerns: Monkeys at the Tulane National Primate Research Center in Louisiana were exposed to a potentially deadly bacteria last fall - but authorities still do not know how or why it happened . Reach: Worryingly, the center is close to a river (top left), homes and a school. Although there are no signs that surrounding areas have been exposed to the bacteria, further tests are required . The name of the employee has not been released. Questions also remain over how far the bacteria, which is primarily found in southeast Asia and northeast Australia, has spread around the complex and surrounding areas. Animals pass it in their urine and feces - potentially contaminating the ground and water around them - and others can become infected through direct contact with the contaminated areas. The bacteria may not cause an illness until days or years after the exposure, but the illness can be fatal in humans and animals, according to USA Today. The monkeys, rhesus macaques, had access to massive outdoor primate breeding cages, where around 4,000 macaques are kept. It is not yet known if the bacteria have colonized in the cages. Worryingly, the research center is just half a mile from a school and surrounded by homes. And only yards behind the facility, there is a river that leads to a lake surrounded by wildlife refuges. The contaminated primates were all at the center's veterinary hospital at the same time last fall, leading to speculation that they could have been exposed there. Infected: At least seven rhesus macaques (file picture) have shown signs of exposure and three have died . Potentially deadly: Burkholderia pseudomallei . The bacteria, Burkholderia pseudomallei, can cause a potentially serious disease in people and animals called melioidosis. Melioidosis commonly involves the lungs and has a range of symptoms including fever, headache, appetite loss, muscle and joint pain. The illness may not develop for days to years.

In a series of three Bronze Age shrines, archaeologists have found knucklebones of animals with certain sides blackened - like the markings on dice - as well as stamp seals printed onto pieces of dough. Experts believe the artefacts were used by diviners to help leaders plan political strategies - but they were abandoned in place moments before the inhabitants fled the region. Scroll down for video . In three Bronze Age Armenian shrines, archaeologists found knucklebones of animals with certain sides blackened like the markings on dice as well as stamp seals printed onto pieces of dough (pictured). The experts believe the artefacts were used by diviners to help leaders plan political strategies . The reason for the sudden exodus remains unknown, but archaeologists believe the stones and bones suggested their demise was imminent. The bones were marked with burns and other engravings, and were small enough to roll. In one shrine, researchers found 18 pebbles. 'These stones appear to have been selected for their smooth, rounded shape and their colour palette, which ranged from black and dark grey to white, green and red,' wrote Professor Adam Smith, lead author of the study at Cornell University. The shrines were discovered in a hilltop fortress on the Tsaghkahovit Plain of central Armenia. Lithomancy: A form of divination by which the future is told using stones or reflected light from these stones. In modern practices 13 stones are cast and a prediction is made based on how they fall. Osteomancy: The use of bones for divination, or osteomancy, has been performed for thousands of years. In some cultures the bones were burned in a practice known as pyro-osteomancy. Aleuromancy: This is the practice of baking messages inside cakes or cookies, which would then be distributed to those wishing their fortunes to be told. Dice-like knucklebones used for osteomancy and coloured stones used for lithomancy were found deep within the ruins of the fallen citadel of Gegharot. Aleuromancy is a likely explanation for grinding implements found in another of three shrines. Aleuromancy was a practice in which messages would be baked inside of cakes or cookies, which would then be distributed to those wishing their fortunes to be told. 'What is conspicuous about the grinding installation in the east citadel shrine is the lack of a formal oven for bread baking,' Professor Smith wrote. The shrine's basin 'was clearly used for burning materials and certainly could have been used to bake small balls of dough, but it is unlikely that it would have been used to cook loaves of bread.' The stamps may have been used to seal messages within the dough. The Tsaghkahovit Plain was sparsely populated until around 1500 BC when a nameless group of people began to build strongholds and new institutions of rule there. 'It was a time of radical inequality and centralised practices of economic redistribution,' Professor Smith", "summary": "Bronze Age shrines were found on Tsaghkahovit Plain in central Armenia .

One took home \u00a3280,000 last year, although this included the fees of the recruitment agency that headhunted him. MPs said the huge salaries were \u2018shocking and obscene\u2019 given the increasingly tight constraints on the NHS budget. Many of the trusts these executives run are trying to save money by rationing routine procedures such as cataract surgery, hip and knee replacements and IVF. The salaries were uncovered by e-reward, an online pay research service, which analysed the pay of more than 2,500 managers at the 211 clinical commissioning groups in England. These regional health bodies replaced primary care trusts in 2013 to control local NHS budgets. E-reward said 56 per cent of the 225 top executives \u2013 chief officers and chief finance officers \u2013 were paying themselves more than that recommended by NHS England, which runs the Health Service. The approved salary range is \u00a395,000 to \u00a3125,000 a year, depending on the size of the clinical commissioning group. The biggest was paid to Martin Sheldon, chief financial officer for Redbridge CCG in Essex, at \u00a3280,000, including the cost of his recruitment. Dr Angela Bhan, chief executive of Bromley CCG in Kent and a doctor specialising in public health, earns \u00a3175,000. To make matters worse, some of the executives received generous redundancy payoffs when primary care trusts were abolished \u2013 before walking straight into almost identical roles at CCGs weeks later. MPs said the huge salaries were \u2018shocking and obscene\u2019 given the increasingly tight constraints on the NHS budget (file image) Figures published at the weekend showed the NHS has spent \u00a3225million on the so-called revolving-door payoffs on 5,200 staff since 2013. The average was \u00a343,000, although some received more than \u00a3500,000. Tory MP Charlotte Leslie, who sits on the Commons Health Select Committee, said: \u2018It is incredible that senior managers are getting paid this kind of money when the NHS is struggling for funds to meet soaring demand. \u2018Not only are they raking in obscene salaries, they are also unaccountable, with no regulatory body like doctors and nurses have. Tory MP Charlotte Leslie said the salaries were 'obscene' \u2018If executives think it is okay to accept this kind of pay, it suggests they either don\u2019t understand the financial pressures on NHS finances, or they don\u2019t care. Either way, most people will find this utterly shocking.\u2019 Dr Peter Carter, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing, said: \u2018The NHS needs good managers, especially in an environment of perpetual change. \u2018However, it is galling and disheartening for many frontline nursing staff, who have been dealing with the realities of austerity year on year, to see", "summary": "One executive took home \u00a3280,000 last year - double the Prime Minister .

The only woman in Georgia on death row is due to be executed tonight at 7pm - after an astonishing last meal of cheeseburgers, fries, ice cream and a fatty salad - unless lawyers can convince officials to spare her life. Kelly Renee Gissendaner, 46, is due to be given a lethal injection at a state prison in Jackson in retribution for plotting the murder of her husband in 1997. She was sentenced to die after her boyfriend, Gregory Owen, stabbed Douglas Gissendaner to death at her urging. Gissendaner, who will be the first female executed in Georgia in 70 years, has also made headlines with her request from prison authorities for a no-holds-barred last meal. The feast includes two Burger King Whoppers, two large orders of fries, cornbread, a salad drenched in buttermilk dressing, popcorn and cherry-vanilla ice cream. However, there is a chance she receive a last-minute stay of execution - if her lawyers convince Georgia's justice system to cancel the killing. Attorneys are mounting a last-ditch attempt to persuade the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to commute her sentence to life without parole. She was denied clemency at a hearing last week, but lawyers argue that extra witnesses from within the prison system could help persuade them. Previous attempts have rested on her remorse and new-found faith. In a statement ten years ago, Gissendaner herself said: 'I deserve to be here, but I don't deserve to die'.

Monster meal: Gissendaner, pictured above with a regular prison meal, requested an enormous spread including two cheeseburger meals, cornbread, ice cream, and popcorn for her last meal . She has also drawn attention to the fact that, while she did not kill her husband, the man who struck the fatal blows is not facing death - and will be eligible for parole in 2023. If the bid fails, her lawyers are expected to ask the Supreme Court to intervene. It has already denied one appeal. Her execution had been due to take place last week, but was canceled after a winter storm caused disruption in the area. Gissendaner would be the first woman executed in Georgia since 1945 and only the 16th woman put to death nationwide since the Supreme Court allowed the death penalty to resume in 1976. Gissendaner's lawyers note that the parole board already heard from many people testifying about her faith and remorse at a hearing last week before denying her clemency. But, her lawyers argue, the board did not hear from many Department of Corrections employees whose perspective 'would have left no doubt that a grant of clemency is supported in this case.'

Scroll down for video . Sydney sex worker Tilly Lawless started the hashtag #FacesOfProstitution on social media at the weekend by posting this photo to share positive stories from the industry . The blog post suggested 75 per cent of female sex workers had been raped, 95 per cent were physically abused and 68 per cent suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. It also questioned how many sex workers had been deceived by Pretty Woman, the iconic movie that starred Julia Roberts as a warm-hearted prostitute and Richard Gere as a lonely millionaire businessman who fall in love. The post said the movie, which has regained prominence around the 25th anniversary of its release last week, deceived women into leading lives of 'abuse, trauma and slavery'. Sydney sex worker Tilly Lawless took to social media at the weekend to hit back at the article and #FacesOfProstitution quickly gained momentum. Carmen Sandiego, a touring escort, was among those to hit back at a blog post that claimed the 1990 film Pretty Woman lured women into the sex industry . Christian Vega, a sex worker from Tasmania, shared support for the hashtag saying he looked nothing like Julia Roberts - referencing the character she played in Pretty Woman . Lucie Bee, who has been in the industry for five years, says she wasn't forced into the industry, but admitted some were . 'Mamamia published an article that says that Julia Roberts' 'toothy smile is not the true face of prostitution' because all sex workers are drug addled victims,' she wrote alongside a photo of herself. 'There is no singular story or person to represent the varied and complex experiences of all sex workers, but here is one face of prostitution amongst a myriad.' Jackie Parker, a sex worker from Griffith in NSW, posted a photo of herself with a volunteer badge on Twitter saying: 'They make me prostitute and volunteer for aged care! This madness has to stop! Save me! She told news.com.au she had worked as an escort for 14 years and hadn't met anyone who was forced into the industry. 'The peple who are doing it tough make up a small percentage \u2014 that is not the norm for sex work in Australia,' she said. 'If you look at the faces of the women on the Twitter hashtag, we're all smiling. Implying we are victims is condescending and makes us feel like we don't have a voice.

Parking charges at a popular British seaside resort could soon be weather dependent after a council pledged to halve them when it rains. Councillors in Brighton and Hove say they want to end 'rip-off' charges and are suggesting motorists pay 'significantly less' for street parking on rainy summer days. The scheme, which would be the first of its kind in the UK, is modeled on flexible parking charges schemes in San Francisco and Madrid. It forms part of the Conservative Party manifesto for the May 7 council elections promising, 'A common sense council for Brighton and Hove'. It says: 'We will examine flexible parking charges and the innovative use of technology e.g. introduce significantly cheaper charges in winter, on rainy summer days etc. 'It is bizarre that summer parking rates begin on 1 March.Under the Conservatives summer parking charges will only apply in summer.' But critics have hailed it as an early April Fools' Day joke, given the fickle British summertime weather. Conservative transport spokesman Graham Cox, told The Telegraph the economy relied on the weather and they had to look at ways of attracting people when it was bad. 'If it's a lovely, hot, summer day in June, July or August, the queues in Brighton will stretch up the A23 and every space in town is taken. If it's wet, it's a very different situation,' he said. Every cloud: Conservative councillors in Brighton and Hove are promising to halve the cost of parking on rainy days in summer in a bid to boost tourist numbers . In 2013, business leaders blamed parking charges and poor weather for the plummeting number of visitors to the region during a particularly wet summer. Figures from the Brighton Business Improvement District (BID) showed footfall in the city had dropped by 14 per cent year-on-year. Costly sunshine: Visitors would be charged twice as much to park on sunny days under new proposals by councillors in Brighton . The parking proposal would be based on weather forecasts so if heavy downpours were predicted for a particular weekend, the parking tariffs would be reduced. Motoring organisations said it would confuse drivers and said both tariffs and clear instructions would need putting on street parking signs.", "summary": "'Significantly cheaper' charges promised during rainy summer days .

His ex-wife, Christine Perolini, was so stunned by the ruling that she hyperventilated and had to be wheeled out on a stretcher surrounded by her family. Reacting to the verdict, the grieving mother exclaimed in court: 'I failed. I couldn't save him [Blake].' Mitchell testified that he was in financial distress and had not been sleeping well around the time of 4-year-old Blake Mitchell's death in September 2010. Prosecutors said those financial difficulties drove Mitchell to strangle the toddler and try to kill the others. Mitchell's 13-year-old and 10-year-old children testified in court that they fought him off. But a defense expert said Mitchell's stress and lack of sleep likely resulted in 'non-REM parasomnia,' a sleep disorder whose sufferers can perform random acts unconsciously. Because of this disorder, he was incapable of exercising criminal intent, the expert said. A psychologist who testified for the prosecution after repeatedly interviewing Mitchell said he had no mental condition that would have left him unconscious during the attacks, and that he must have consciously planned them. Mitchell's trial lasted a month but it took the jury less than four hours to return a not guilty verdict. Following Mitchell's acquittal, some members of the jury panel spoke out saying that they did not believe the sleepwalking defense, but their hands were tied.

England, desperate for some silverware three years into Lancaster\u2019s tenure, must now regroup to face Scotland and France at Twickenham but they will do in the knowledge their Grand Slam hopes have been shattered again. They retain a small chance of winning the Championship, but that will prove of little comfort in the light of this comprehensive defeat. Dublin was lashed by wind, rain and sleet in the hours before kick off but mercifully the weather relented to leave the Aviva Stadium pitch slippery but not treacherous. England had made two changes to their starting line-up from the side that beat Italy a fortnight ago with Jack Nowell preferred to Jonny May on the left wing and Alex Goode replacing Mike Brown after the Harlequins full back failed to recover from concussion he suffered against the Azzurri.

Late last week, more than two years after the shocking attack, Ms Lopez was finally vindicated when police apprehended her alleged molester, identified as 43-year-old Carlos Chuva. The Queens resident was arrested last Thursday and charged with first-degree felony aggravated sexual assault. Scroll down for video . Vile attack: On October 20, 2012, Elisa Lopez (right) was sleeping aboard a downtown 4 train when a middle-aged man sat next to her and stuck his hand up her skirt (left). The entire incident was caught on video . Groper: The denim-clad stranger got off the train and vanished after Lopez punched him in the face and fled . According to a criminal complaint cited by Gothamist, the suspect admitted that he was the attacker when officers showed a screen grab from the infamous subway video. The vile attack took place at around 4am October 20, 2012, aboard a downtown 4 train near Lexington Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan. Elisa Lopez, then a 21-year-old member of the Air National Guard, was on her way downtown to meet her boyfriend after attending a party in The Bronx when she briefly dozed off on the train, instinctively clutching her purse. She woke up moments later to discover a stranger caressing her thigh and face and trying to kiss her. The terrified straphanger punched the pervert in the face and fled the subway. She did not realize the extent of the sexual assault she had endured until a work friend sent her the graphic video shot by a fellow passenger aboard the 4 train. Justice for Elisa: more than two years later, police arrested 43-year-old Carlos Chuvo (left), charging him with aggravated sexual assault of Elisa Lopez . The grainy cell phone footage recorded by Brooklyn man Jasheem Smiley depicts a middle-aged man dressed in a faded denim jacket and jeans shoving his hand under the sleeping woman's skirt and groping her. The 18-second clip of the attack quickly went viral, earning Smiley public censure for capturing the assault on his iPhone instead of trying to stop it. Smiley released another video on his YouTube channel just days later defending his actions that night. Bystander: Jasheem Smiley faced backlash for capturing the video on his cell phone instead of trying to help Lopez . \u2018There were 10 other people on the train that didn't do anything,\u2019 he explained. \u2018I was the one that did the most.\u2019 Smiley pointed out that after the groper got off the train, he notified the conductor about what happened and went to the police with the video. But according to the man, officers became interested in the case only after he uploaded the footage online and it attracted media attention. The assault witness explained that had he physically intervened, the suspect could have accused him of attacking him without any provocation.

+{"article": "The song is straightforward and carries the usual expletive, for semi-rhyme as well as effect. Gabby Agbonlahor, cry Aston Villa fans to the tune of Karma Chameleon, is rather fast. That\u2019s the clean version. The frequency with which the words are heard from now until the end of the season will prove largely correlative to Villa\u2019s chances of remaining a Premier League team. They have not been sounded all too often this campaign. But at Villa Park on Tuesday night, especially during the first half, Agbonlahor produced a performance to warrant adulation. Gabby Agbonlahor salutes the Villa Park crowd in celebration after opening the scoring against West Brom . Agbonlahor threads the ball through Ben Foster's legs to give the hosts the lead in the Midlands derby . It was arguably his best display in years, a return to those days when his speed and strength shot him into the England set-up. Agbonlahor consistently harried Gareth McAuley and Joleon Lescott, chasing down balls he had no obligation to reach, using his stocky physique to keep hold of possession when under threat. Christian Benteke got the headlines for his late winning goal, but it was Agbonlahor who set the tone. His goal was a classic case of pace proving the difference. He latched onto Benteke\u2019s nodded flick and finished while making statues of the West Bromwich Albion central defenders. He did similar when creating a pass out Ashley Westwood\u2019s hopeful ball, sprinting to startle the opposition backline and only being denied a second by Lescott\u2019s goalline clearance. Boy George\u2019s ditty rang loud. Agbonlahor beat Foster again shortly after but Joleon Lescott raced back to clear the ball off the line . Agbonlahor reacts after West Brom keeper Foster almost dropped the ball over his own goal line . Foster initially caught the shot from Agbonlahor but it then slipped through his legs and he had to react quickly . In all, he had three shots on target \u2013 including the badly fumbled effort by Ben Foster than nearly trickled over the line \u2013 which is a significant uplift of recent matches. In this statistic, the sequence of his last 12 games reads: 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1. Fantastic figures should Jimmy Anderson be bowling a couple of overs at the death in the World Cup. As shots on target for a Premier League striker? Not so much. Agbonlahor failed to test the goalkeepers of Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal (admittedly as a substitute), Liverpool, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Manchester United (albeit sent off unjustly after 65 minutes) and West Bromwich Albion. His inability in that period to make a difference in opponents\u2019 penalty areas is symptomatic of Villa\u2019s wider attacking paralysis, stymied by a style that ranked possession over purpose to an adverse extent. Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood ran down the touchline and celebrated vigorously after Agbonlahor's goal . Christian Benteke sends the goalkeeper the wrong way to score a dramatic late penalty and seal the win for Aston Villa .

Mike Portnoy, 47, a drummer with the iconic prog-rock outfit Dream Theater, said that he was barely able to stand or lift his arms shortly before he was due to go on stage at the Islington Assembly Hall in London on Saturday night. Paramedics attended the scene and said that the star needed to be taken to hospital so that his mystery illness could be treated. However, they admitted that they didn't have enough petrol to get him there. Scroll down for video . Downbeat: American rock star Mike Portnoy, 47, was struck down by a mystery illness before a gig in London, but was left stranded after the ambulance taking him to hospital ran out of petrol. He was eventually given a lift by a fan, but when he arrived at A&E, doctors forced him to wait because his condition was not life-threatening . Portnoy claims that ambulance staff said that he should find alternative transport, although the London Ambulance Service denies this. The drummer asked fans waiting for him to perform with rock band Neal Morse if they would drive him to the nearby Whittington Hospital.

A London Ambulance spokesman said: 'An ambulance crew arrived at an address on Upper Street in Islington to take a patient to the Urgent Care Centre at the Whittington hospital,.

Morning Glory in the Yellowstone National Park was once a brilliant shade of blue, but now owes its yellow tinge to debris and coins thrown in over the years . The Morning Glory hot spring in 1940. The photograph reveals a stark contrast to the fiery colours now exhibited at the tourist attraction . The popular tourist attraction sees three million visitors flock to gaze at its psychedelic waters in Wyoming, USA. The site first gained popularity in the 1940s when a million tourists would visit the site . Pool on fire! The fierce colours are influenced by how light interacts with the water\u2019s depth, with yellow and orange colours in the shallows and green in the deep waters . The rainbow hot spring has been clogged up with debris, which block the heat vents, and affecting the water circulation in the pool . It is estimated that the destruction of the hot spring has been building up for decades. Research by Montana State University and Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany helped to create a model that could depict the hot spring's colours from over a century ago, when it was less frequented by visitors. Now nearly three million tourists flock to Yellowstone National Park, compared to the one million in the 1940s, which has led to the build-up of debris in the pool. As the underwater vents started to get clogged up, water circulation was affected, decreasing the temperature of the waters and causing a migration of the orange-coloured bacteria towards the centre. Adam Hoffman from Science Friday said: 'Pigments produced by swaths of those microbes\u2014called microbial mats\u2014are responsible, at least in part, for the brilliant yellows, greens, and oranges that now tinge Morning Glory and other thermal pools in Yellowstone.'

Property listings show numerous homes listed for sale for more than \u00a31million, many featuring sprawling lawns, open plan kitchens and huge double garages.

As Every Hotels launched its first venue in Piccadilly, London last week, it was clear that this kind of question provides the thinking behind its brand. To find out what guests really want, London-based hotel group glh conducted research over the last two years, most recently asking 4,000 adults globally what matters most when staying in a hotel. Each room at Every Hotels' new location in Piccadilly boasts a Hypnos bed and a complimentary mini-bar . Top three were a great night's sleep (86 per cent), no hidden extras (81 per cent) and fast and efficient check-in (67 per cent). Turning its back on the traditional hotel rating system, Every Hotels is striving to meet the demands of guests looking for fully-equipped bedrooms in hotels without meeting rooms, spas or a plethora of restaurants and bars. The company has stripped back all the non-room features usually found in four-star hotels, and instead focuses on quality rooms and a personal service. The Piccadilly venture is the first to open in London, with sites in Hyde Park, Leicester Square and Bloomsbury next on the agenda. Every Hotels has opened its first London location in Piccadilly, with three others planned . MailOnline Travel stayed the night to see whether they'd got the balance just right. Every Hotel Piccadilly offers modern, well-equipped rooms with Hypnos beds, Nespresso machines, complimentary mini-bar, free wifi, a great location, hosts genuinely knowledgeable about the local area and the opportunity to choose your room before you arrive. What strikes me is that senior executives involved with the project are very realistic; in the sense that they recognise there are many restaurants and bars to choose from in central London, that tourists will spend most of their time walking around, and that most businessmen will have office meetings in offices. And so the focus is on the accommodation, the comfort, and having facilities that don't force themselves onto guests.

+{"article": "Ed Woodward and the Glazers love an eye-catching signing at Manchester United but for manager Louis van Gaal the enforced absence of \u00a359.7million winger Angel di Maria against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday might be the best news he\u2019s had this season. Of all the troubles that have afflicted Van Gaal in the last few months, none will have frustrated him more than the most expensive player in Premier League history. Di Maria flickered brightly when he first arrived from Real Madrid but the last six months have signalled a steady decline due to injury, loss of form, an unfortunate burglary and most recently a stupid red card for pulling referee Michael Oliver against Arsenal on Monday night. Angel di Maria pleads his innocence after being booked by referee Michael Oliver in the defeat to Arsenal . Oliver shows the red card to Di Maria after he tugged at the referee's shirt following a yellow card . Di Maria walks off the pitch after receiving the red card during the FA Cup quarter-final with Arsenal . United now have to face Spurs without him as they begin a run of key fixtures that will define their chances of getting into the Champions League. Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea all await in just over a month. Yet Di Maria\u2019s absence also gives Van Gaal an opportunity. By his own admission, the United manager likes to kill off opponents by applying pressure through extended spells of possession. It requires patience from fans and players. For an instinctive risk-taker like Di Maria, it\u2019s akin to being a square peg in a round hole. And for United, the deliberate build-up doesn\u2019t work if after 20 passes, their star man dribbles into a defender and doesn\u2019t fight to win the ball back. LVG has tried the Argentine in several positions but none have worked. Without Di Maria against Spurs, themselves pushing for a top-four place, Van Gaal has greater options. He can opt for two traditional wingers, Ashley Young and Adnan Januzaj, recall the flair of Juan Mata or goal-poacher\u2019s instinct of Radamel Falcao, or play a midfield three of Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera and Daley Blind to give him the control he craves. For now, Van Gaal is treading carefully with Di Maria. It wouldn\u2019t be wise to tell the board they\u2019ve wasted their money and with the player\u2019s confidence at a low ebb after his red card hastened United\u2019s FA Cup exit, the manager wants to build him up, not destroy him.

But when the England manager names his squad for the games against Lithuania and Italy on Thursday, in Kane he has a striker who has every hallmark of an international footballer. For Austin, the jury is still out. Kane was, essentially, the difference between the two teams at QPR.

Yes, I would - but the way I'm going...' Two goals against QPR took his tally for the season to 26. That's a record you simply cannot ignore. Hodgson certainly won't. The only question for the England manager now is if he utilises the striker in the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania or ease him in during the friendly against Italy. His first goal against Rangers showed great bravery, risking a hefty blow to the head to glance home Andros Townsend's free kick.

+{"article": "The spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis may result in 75 million deaths by 2050, experts have declared. It could also cost the global economy a cumulative $16.7 trillion (\u00a315 trillion) - the equivalent of the European Union's annual output. The comments have come from a UK Parliamentary group which focuses on TB. They follow a warning from the World Health Organisation which said last year that multidrug-resistant TB was at 'crisis levels', with about 480,000 new cases in 2013. X-ray of tuberculosis calcification caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Bacteria . It is a man-made problem caused by regular TB patients given the wrong medicines or doses, or failing to complete their treatment, which is highly toxic and can take up two years. The fight against TB, the world's second deadliest infectious disease after HIV, is also hampered by a lack of an effective vaccine, the APPG TB said. The only TB vaccine, BCG, protects some children from severe forms of TB - including one that affects the brain - but is unreliable in preventing TB in the lung, which is the most common form of the disease. TB, which spreads through the coughs and sneezes of an infected person, killed 1.5 million people worldwide in 2013, according to the WHO. Yesterday it warned that if left untackled, drug-resistant TB superbugs threaten to shrink the world economy by 0.63 percent annually. As a result, governments must do more to improve research and cooperation, the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Global Tuberculosis (APPG TB), said. The problem stems from the fact that bacteria that cause TB can develop resistance to drugs used to cure the disease. Multidrug-resistant TB fails to respond to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, the two most powerful anti-TB drugs, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The World Health Organisation warned last year that multidrug-resistant TB(pictured) was at 'crisis levels', with about 480,000 new cases in 2013 . The UK parliamentary group's cost projections are based on a scenario in which an additional 40 per cent of all TB cases are resistant to first-line drugs, leading to a doubling of the infection rate. 'The rising global burden of multidrug-resistant TB and other drug-resistant infections will come at a human and economic cost which the global community simply cannot afford to ignore', economist Jim O'Neill said in a statement. Mr O'Neill, a former chief at investment bank Goldman Sachs, was appointed last year by British Prime Minister David Cameron to head a review into antimicrobial resistance. The group urged governments to set up a research and development fund, target investments into basic research and increase support for bilateral TB programs. 'We need better tools to deal with this new threat, but since TB primarily affects the poorest and most vulnerable in society, there is little commercial incentive to develop new drugs,' said Nick Herbert, co-chairman of the APPG TB.", "summary": "Could also cost the global economy a cumulative $16.7 trillion (\u00a315 trillion) Comments have come from UK Parliamentary group which focuses on TB .

Workers currently pay National Insurance on earnings above \u00a3153 a week, or \u00a37,956 a year, at a rate of 12 per cent, but it kicks in at a far lower level than the income tax threshold, which will increase to \u00a310,600 in April.

Born in Derbyshire, Wallis worked first as for a marine engineering firm before transferring to working on aircraft. When the Second World War began, Wallis was assistant chief designer of aviation at Vickers' engineering. He came up with the concept behind the bouncing bomb while skipping his daughter's marbles across a tub of water by catapault. But it took more than a year to convince RAF chiefs that such a bomb might work and should be attempted. Once he was given the go-ahead, he had only eight weeks to complete and test the design. The final solution, called Upkeep, was a cylindrical bomb, weighing four tons, spinning backwards at 500 rpm. It had to be dropped from precisely 60ft above the water at not more than 240mph.

A new study by the Institute for Fiscal Studies found that by 2015-16, will have imposed tax rises worth \u00a364.3 billion while tax cuts have totalled only \u00a348billion. The figures come ahead of George Osborne's final Budget before the election, with Labour warning they lay bare the full extent of the government's failure to fix the economy. Chancellor George Osborne, pictured today, is expected to use his Budget on Wednesday to announce a nother increase in the personal tax allowance . Tax rises introduced since 2010 include a \u00a314 billion hike in VAT and a \u00a35.2 billion increase in National Insurance contributions. At the same time the tax reductions of 48 billion include \u00a38 billion from raising the personal threshold for income tax, \u00a35.9 billion in cuts to corporation tax and \u00a33.9 billion from real-terms reductions in fuel duties. However, the IFS said the changes were a 'missed opportunity to improve the tax system', because they had been introduced in a piecemeal way with little attempt to address 'fundamental structural deficiencies'. Several of the changes have exacerbated 'unwelcome distortions' in the system, said the IFS. It was difficult to find a 'good economic reason' for lifting ever-more lower-paid workers out of income tax while leaving National Insurance thresholds largely untouched, and it was an 'absurdity' that the two taxes had not been integrated. Mr Osborne is expected to use Wednesday's Budget to announce another big rise in the personal tax allowance. Deputy PM Nick Clegg said: \u2018The main thing the government can do is just take less of your money away from you. \u2018I very much want to give the biggest possible Workers\u2019 Bonus to millions of people on middle and low incomes.' The study by the Institute for Fiscal Studies found that by 2015-16, will have imposed tax rises worth \u00a364.3 billion while tax cuts have totalled only \u00a348billion . The IFS highlighted the 'problematic' failure to uprate tax thresholds in line with inflation, and warned of a 'rapid' increase in workers paying higher rates of income tax as the economy improves. Unless the phenomenon known as 'fiscal drag' is dealt with, the number of families losing some or all of their child benefit will double within a decade, the report predicted. The report also warned that council tax had been allowed to get 'ever more out of date', with bands in England and Scotland based on property prices in 1991. And it said that areas such as fuel duties and business rates had 'seen a stream of ad hoc, often temporary, announcements overtaking each other without a clear statement of principles or long-run intentions'.

'It especially helps with \"mutt\" cats whose breed cannot be determined.'

+{"article": "Scientists believe they have got to the bottom of anal evolution. A team of Norwegian researchers has identified two sets of genes that cause some creatures to have a fully-functioning anus, while other only have 'transient' ones. The study also reveals how some creatures, such as the Penis worm, have very similar digestive systems to humans, even though they are very different species. Scroll down for video . The latest study builds on earlier research which looked at the genes expressed during the development of intestines, stomach and anus in the Penis worm, pictured . Biologist Dr Andreas Hejnol and Dr Chema Mart\u00edn-Dur\u00e1n, of the University of Bergen, spent several years studying how genes change the development of creatures. 'While several organ systems have been investigated, such as the nervous system, the anal opening has been largely neglected,' Dr Hejnol told BBC Earth. The study, published in the journal Zoologischer Anzeiger, identified genes known as brachyury and ParaHox, that are crucial to the development of an anus. According to a report by Matt Walker at the BBC, their study reveals how the anus is perhaps one of the most important organs in our body, helping our digestive system work. He notes that, interestingly, not all animals have one. Some animals have simpler versions, in others the organ appears to be transient, while another has multifunctional anuses. Animals that do have an anus, however, often grow to be larger, more sophisticated creatures. A team of Norwegian researchers has identified two sets of genes that cause some creatures to have a fully-functioning anus, while other only have 'transient' ones . In 2013, researchers discovered that one of our earliest ancestors was a worm with no anus. The worm, named Xenoturbella bocki, has no brain, no sex organs and no vital organs. The 1m worm is regarded by some scientists as a key biological link between many species. Researchers believe the worm is a distant progenitor of humans and a host of other animals living today. Swedish researchers say the worm might belong to a branch of the animal family tree called deuterostomes, of which humans are also members. Trying to understand when and why the anus evolved is also complicated because it also appears and vanishes again within various groups of animals, such as flatworms. The latest study builds on earlier research which looked at the genes expressed during the development of intestines, stomach and anus in the Penis worm. What surprised the researchers was not just that the development was the same in the worms as in humans, fish and frogs, but that exactly the same genes were involved in the process. Penis worms live in shallow parts of the oceans, including off the Swedish west coast where they propagate during the winter. 'This means that the origin of the human stomach is further back in time than previously thought, probably about 500 million years', says Ralf Janssen, postdoc in professor Graham Budd's research group on paleobiology at Uppsala University. The team are now conducting further research into whether the anus has evolved", "summary": "Brachyury and ParaHox genes could shed light on anus evolution .

Cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Michael Davidson, 44, from Wellesley, Massachusetts, was shot by Stephen Pasceri, 55, on the morning of Tuesday, January 20, and passed away late that evening.

Accountant Stephen Pasceri (left) opened fire on Dr. Michael Davidson (right) at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital on Tuesday, blaming Davidson for his mother's death . Now a lengthy investigation at The Boston Globe has taken readers inside Pasceri's life and final hours. He had left his Millbury home telling his wife he was on his way to work at the Waters Corporation, despite calling in sick to his accountant job. He left behind a thumb drive with his last thoughts to be sent to his brother. Pasceri has become obsessed with the idea that his mother, Marguerite Pasceri, 78, was killed by a post-operative drug prescribed by Davidson. He death certificate lists the official cause as 'cardiovascular collapse.' Referencing Pslams in his final thoughts, Pasceri wrote: 'The doctor is dead. I am dead. There is nothing more anyone can do.' Davidson left behind his wife, who is a plastic surgeon, and their three other children, two girls aged seven and nine and a two-year-old son, his father-in-law told the Boston Herald. It later emerged the couple was expecting their fourth child. Left behind: Davidson and his wife Terri, pictured, have two daughters, seven and nine, and a son, two . Pasceri wandered the hospital for an hour before coming upon the doctor and firing. Security footage shows him calmly strolling by gift shops and the cardiovascular clinic. Though Pasceri was known as a husband and father, a man who regularly attended church and even started a men's group to help with home repair projects, those close to him said there had long been a dark side. 'Really deep down, inside, he must have known that he was wrong for some of the things he did,' sister, Marguerite Joly, told the Globe. 'I think he slowly lost his mind.' Brother John Pasceri did not think mental illness was a factor but agreed that Pasceri could be unforgiving. 'When you were wrong, you had to suffer the judgments of Steve,' he told reporters. A man with a troubled past, he had been arrested at 17 for stealing guns from a neighbor's house. But his mother got a good lawyer who cut a deal for counseling and military service, and he spent three years in the Army until finally coming home in December 1980. It was that dark side that emerged at the hospital when he approached secretary Cheryl Cantalupo demanding to see Davidson without an appointment. 'No, you don\u2019t understand,' he said.

Gutierrez, who was disbarred by consent after questions arose about her handling of client funds, died 12 years ago amid legal and health problems, the Baltimore Sun reported.

Ellen Pao is seeking $16million after filing a sex discrimination suit against prestigious Silicon Valley business Kleiner, Perkins, Caulfield & Byers. The 45-year-old told jurors how she was excluded from an all-male dinner with Al Gore and felt 'very uncomfortable' hearing male guests of the firm talking about pornography on a private jet. In her first day of testimony, the plaintiff testified that one male colleague was 'relentless' in his pursuit of her and cut her out of email chains and meetings when she ended the affair. Pao is seeking damages from her former employer after claiming she was passed over for a promotion because she is a woman and then fired in 2012 after she complained. Kleiner Perkins has denied wrongdoing and says Pao did not get along with her colleagues and performed poorly after she became a junior partner around 2010. In her testimony, Pao said she was given a poetry book by a senior partner in 2007 that featured drawings of naked women and poems on topics such as the longings of an older man for younger women. The partner also invited her to dinner one weekend while noting his wife would be out of town, she said. 'I thought it was strange, and it made me uncomfortable,' she said. Pao acknowledged having the affair with a male colleague, but said she broke it off when she learned he had lied that his wife had left him. She said the colleague later retaliated by shutting her out of emails and meetings.

The 45-year-old told jurors how she was excluded from an all-male dinner at Vice President Al Gore's apartment . When she raised the retaliation issue with management, a senior partner explained how he had met his wife at another company while he was married, and perhaps Pao could have the same outcome with her colleague, she testified. She said she repeatedly complained that the colleague was retaliating against her, but 'Kleiner Perkins continued to do nothing.'

Britons overindulge more than holidaymakers from Spain, Italy, France and Germany, who were also polled, saying their holiday began long before their arrival at their chosen destination. Britons eat and drink an average of 3,402 calories at the airport and on the plane when they go on holiday . A Burger King at London Heathrow, one of more than 60 food outlets at the airport . The survey of 2,607 adults who had flown away for a holiday in the past 12 months shows the average Briton consumes between 900 and 1,400 more than health professionals say they should. The results, collated by UK flight comparison website Jetcost.co.uk, showed that the average Briton will consume 1,963 calories during this brief period in food and an additional 1,439 calories in alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks - a total of 3,402. Asked whether they felt they were over-indulging at the airport and in flight, a resounding 79 per cent said 'yes', with 53 per cent of respondents saying they were 'getting into the holiday spirit' and 28 per cent saying they 'no longer needing to diet for the holiday'. Germans come closest to Brits for pre-and-during flight consumption with a total of 3,107 calories, followed by travellers from Spain (2,350 calories), Italy (2,311 calories) and French (1,269 calories). Escalators lead up to the cafes, restaurants and bars at London Gatwick airport, a facility where travellers like to 'get into the holiday spirit' 'These numbers are astonishing, particularly when you consider the average male should consume 2,500 calories per day and the average female just 2,000,' said Jetcost.co.uk co-founder Antoine Michelat. 'Women are almost doubling their calorie intake within a matter of hours.'

George Osborne is examining plans to offer funding to help with training of new drivers, amid warnings of shortage of 45,000 hauliers. Tests which have been blamed for the problems in the industry could also be accelerated to address the shortage of qualified drivers. The haulage industry warns that shortage of 45,000 drivers has been caused in part by new rules forcing hauliers to be tested on their driving skills . Britain needs between 45,000 and 60,000 extra lorry drivers, according to estimates. There is a long-running shortage caused by drivers retiring and too few young people choosing haulage as a career. And since September, all drivers must obtain the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence, completing an extra 35 hours training, costing some \u00a3500. Under the new rules, drivers who do not hold the new certificate face a fine of \u00a31,000. As many as 20,000 drivers are thought to have quit or retired as a result. The Road Haulage Association wants Chancellor George Osborne to offer funding to train a new generation of drivers - especially women - in next month's Autumn Statement. New training rules mean the logistics industry is thousands of drivers short, according to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills.The Freight Transport Association claims more than 20,000 drivers have quit since September. It comes after a new Driver Certificate of Professional Competence was introduced across the EU, which meant drivers had to complete an extra 35 hours training, costing some \u00a3500. Hauliers say the rules mean there are not enough people to drive lorries across the country, raising the prospect of 'empty shelves'. Concerns have also been raised about safety, including the decision to allow 18-year-olds to drive HGVs. Ahead of the Budget the industry called for \u00a3150million to increase training for thousands of drivers before the shortages hit vital supplies. In his statement to MPs, Mr Osborne stopped short of announcing the money would be found. But the official Budget red book reveals the government could be ready to step in to provide support for road hauliers. It states: 'The government will review the speed with which Heavy Goods Vehicle (HVG) driving tests and driver medical assessments currently take place and consider options to accelerate both in order to help address the shortage of qualified HGV drivers. 'The government will also work with road haulage firms on an industry led solution to the driver shortage, including looking at the right level of access to, and funding support for, training.' Chancellor George Osborne used his Budget to announce a review of the HGV driving tests but stopped short of offering immediate financial support . Fuel duty has been frozen for a fifth year in succession, allowing the Chancellor to boast that motorists have had '\u00a310 off a tank with the Tories'.

+{"article": "A push for answers on how a New York City police officer avoided criminal charges in the videotaped chokehold death of Eric Garner has stalled because it does not protect grand jury secrecy. New York State Supreme Court Justice William Garnett ruled on Thursday that the grand jury record would remain under seal. He rejected arguments by the New York Civil Liberties Union and others that the public had a right to know why jurors refused to indict the officer in spite of the video. He wrote that the law required the plaintiffs to establish a 'compelling and particularized need' to release the grand jury minutes. Testimony from the grand jury than did not indict the police officer involved in the death of Eric Garner (right, with family) will remain sealed after a decision from New York State Supreme Court Justice William Garnett . Mr Garner was seen saying 'I can't breathe' after being taken to a ground by a policeman on New York's Staten Island borough . The Staten Island judge's ruling cited a handful of rare instances where New York courts authorized disclosure, but only to specific parties for specific reasons \u2014 not out of the public interest. For example, a 2012 appeals court ruling authorized release of bank records from a grand jury proceeding to someone seeking a civil judgment against the United Arab Emirates. Another ruling in 1978 turned over witness statements to state police for disciplinary proceedings. A 2001 decision even gave the son of a defendant in a decades-old murder case access to grand jury minutes to use for a movie script. At a hearing in February, Garnett had asked over and over how the Garner grand jury minutes would be used. 'The only answer which the court heard was the possibility of effecting legislative change,' he wrote. However, he said that hopes of legal efforts to combat police brutality or 'journalistic curiousity' were not strong enough to unseal the documents. 'That proffered need is purely speculative and does not satisfy the requirements of the law.' The death of Mr Garner (left poster) and Michael Brown (right poster) and the subsequent non-indictment of the police officers involved in their deaths sparked a series of protests. Justice Garnett wrote that none of the plaintiffs seeking to unveil the grand jury testimony showed a 'compelling and particularized need' for the information . The effort to make the Garner grand jury record public had been considered a longshot. But the decision comes amid an ongoing debate over whether the laws need revisions promoting more transparency, particularly when it involves police shootings. By preserving secrecy in the Garner case, the court 'has reinforced the distrust many New Yorkers already feel toward the performance of the criminal justice system in this case,' said NYCLU legal director Arthur Eisenberg.

Goodluck Jonathan's opponents have said the offensive against Boko Haram is a political ploy ahead of tomorrow's election (a billboard for which is pictured). They have asked why Nigeria's military, of which Jonathan is the commander in chief, is suddenly is capable of doing what it has failed to do for six years . It was not possible to verify this morning's morale-boosting announcement, which comes just one day before critical presidential elections in Nigeria. The Twitter messages made no mention of military operations in Sambisa Forest, where Nigeria's home-grown Islamic extremist group is believed to have several camps. Warplanes have been bombarding the area for weeks. The forest starts about 20 miles from Gwoza town, which is 80 miles southeast of Maiduguri - the Borno state capital state and Boko Haram's birthplace. Sambisa Forest is where extremists first took nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped from a boarding school in Chibok almost a year ago. Dozens escaped on their own but 219 remain missing. The failure of the government and military of President Goodluck Jonathan to rescue the girls created international outrage and continues to dog Nigeria's leader as he stands for re-election. Nigeria's military, with support of troops and military aircraft from neighboring countries, in the past two months has retaken dozens of towns from Boko Haram. This comes after months of defeat at the hands of Boko Haram, with soldiers fleeing the battlefield after they ran out of ammunition. Jonathan's opponents have said the offensive is a political ploy, asking why Nigeria's military, of which Jonathan is the commander in chief, is suddenly is capable of doing what it has failed to do for nearly six years.

The indictment filed Friday accuses defendant Erich Milton Nowsch Jr. of murder, attempted murder and firing a weapon from a vehicle. The shooting was initially characterized as road rage but was later found to involve more complex relationships. Scroll down for video . Erich Nowsch Jr. (pictured in a Las Vegas courtroom February 23) was indicted Friday on charges of murder, attempted murder and firing a weapon from a vehicle in the killing of Tammy Meyers . The indictment doesn't name a getaway driver in the February 12 killing of 44-year-old Tammy Meyers. Her husband, Robert Meyers, says she took their daughter home after a late-night driving lesson and fetched her 22-year-old son with his gun to find a driver who frightened her earlier. The 19-year-old's defense team hope the request to the coroner's office will be able to determine whether Meyers, 44, or somebody next to her fired a gun before she died . Police say the son fired several shots at Nowsch during the fatal shootout in a cul-de-sac outside the Meyers home. The 44-year-old Meyers was wounded in the head February 12 and died two days later. Nowsch was arrested on February 19. Nowsch's defense team said in court today they are trying to obtain surveillance video from Johnson Junior High School, where Meyers was allegedly teaching her daughter to parallel park the night before the shooting. They also want police to turn over radio recordings from the night of the shooting and the day of Nowach's arrest, reported Las Vegas Review Journal. The 19-year-old is being held without bail. He is due back in court March 12. Many questions remain after conflicting accounts from authorities and Meyers' family about what initially was characterized as a road rage attack. Following Nowsch's arrest late last month, his lawyers said he was high on marijuana while he was being questioned, and police knew it. He surrendered to the authorities after a stand-off in suburban Las Vegas. Claus said he plans to argue in court that anything Nowsch told investigators after he was taken into custody can no longer be used in the impending murder trial. It's not clear what Nowsch told detectives after his arrest. 'People tend to say things that aren't entirely credible when they're under the influence,' he told the Associated Press. Attorney Augustus Claus said 'not only' did the police let Nowsch smoke, they 'watched him do it' as they tried 'to talk him down' during a standoff that involved a helicopter and a SWAT team. Last week, Claus said he may consider using a fractured skull Nowsch suffered as an infant at the hands of his abuse father in his defense. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson will consider Nowsch's childhood injury while deciding whether to seek the death penalty against him.

Prosecutors have asked a judge in Florida to reject Virginia Roberts\u2019s plea to join a seven-year legal battle being waged by two other women. They are suing the US Government over the lenient treatment of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, jailed for 18 months in 2008. Virginia Roberts photographed with Prince Andrew in early 2001. The chances of the Prince having to appear in court over her allegation she was forced to sleep with him look to be receding . The women, identified as \u2018Jane Does 1 and 2\u2019, claim their rights as victims were breached when they were not consulted over a controversial deal signed by prosecutors with billionaire Epstein, which granted him and others immunity from prosecution over dozens of cases of underage sexual abuse. In return, Epstein, 62, a former friend of the Prince, pledged to pay compensation to his victims. In the new filing at Palm Beach County Court, prosecutors say Roberts was happy to receive an out-of-court settlement from Epstein, knowing the non-prosecution agreement had been signed. If the US authorities win the case, Andrew will be spared having to give evidence or make a witness statement. It will also mean Roberts, 32 will no longer be able to repeat any of her claims without fear of being sued. Legal experts said prosecutors had a strong case and believe it is likely a judge will side with them. US lawyer Charles Hayes said: \u2018The government just have to prove Roberts was aware of the [immunity] agreement and a judge will favour them. Jeffrey Epstein allegedly kept Virginia Roberts as a 'sex slave' 'There has to be a very good reason to allow another party to join a long-running legal action and I don\u2019t see one here.\u2019 The Prince was named in papers filed by Roberts earlier this year. She identified him as one of the men she was forced to sleep with while being kept as a \u2018sex slave\u2019 by Epstein. She also claimed that Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the late newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell, and Epstein\u2019s girlfriend, recruited her into the financier\u2019s employment as a \u2018masseuse\u2019. Roberts said she was \u2018loaned\u2019 to Epstein\u2019s wealthy friends after being groomed over a number of years by him. Roberts claimed she had sex with Andrew on three separate occasions, including taking part in an orgy on Epstein\u2019s private Caribbean island. Andrew has strenuously denied any sexual relationship with Roberts, who was 17 when they met. Ms Maxwell has also denied any wrongdoing. Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

Bosses at the University of Cape Town bowed to demands to remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes after a series of protests on campus. UCT, the oldest university in South Africa and regularly ranked as the best on the continent, was built on land donated by Rhodes, a mining magnate who died in 1902. Scroll down for video . A statue of British colonialist Cecil John Rhodes is shown covered in plastic bags as part of a protest by students and staff of the University of Cape Town . Students and staff of the University of Cape Town stage a protest against the statue of Cecil Rhodes. Excrement was launched at the statue during one protest . But the 'poo protest' was launched by a small group of students earlier this month, sparking a series of demonstrations demanding that the statue be torn down. Many of the students involved in the protests never lived under the injustices of white minority rule, but say they still experience racial discrimination 21 years after the end of apartheid. The large statue of a notoriously racist Rhodes gazing across an Africa that he coveted for the British empire made them feel alienated on a campus still dominated by white staff, they said. On Friday, the university senate voted 181 to one to remove the statue permanently from the campus, after vice-chancellor Max Price acknowledged 'the many injustices of colonial conquest enacted under Rhodes' watch'. While the university council still has to endorse the move at a special meeting on April 8, the statue will be boarded up until it is handed over to government heritage authorities, university spokeswoman Pat Lucas said. 'It is certainly a victory for us,' said student representative council president Ramabina Mahapa. 'It means we are being heard by the larger community.' Cecil Rhodes (pictured) made his fortune with his De Beers mining company . Cecil Rhodes was born in Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire and went on to became one of Britain's most successful colonialists. He was sent to southern Africa in the late nineteenth century when he suffered bad health as a teenager. Within four decades he had established political control of Britain's Cape Colony, expanded the territory north to found Rhodesia and taken ownership of the world's richest diamond mining company De Beers. His expansionist plans were fired by a dream of securing a British corridor of power stretching from Cape Town to Cairo. But his short life was blighted by bad health and he died of heart failure aged just 49. Following his death Rhodes' remains were transported by train from Cape Town to Bulawayo and laid to rest in the Matopo Hills south of the city, his favourite spot in the vast empire he had helped secure for Britain in southern Africa.

+{"article": "A virus that starts off like the common cold could be responsible for leaving more than 100 children with paralysis. Last summer, more than 1,000 children and teens across the country were hospitalized with symptoms that appeared to be caused by a particularly nasty strain of enterovirus. While some of the children showed only minor symptoms of the virus - such as runny nose, sneezing and coughing - others suffered weakness of the limbs to complete paralysis . Doctors caring for the sick children connected the illness early on to a pathogen called enterovirus D-68. A new study published on Monday has strengthened the connection between enterovirus D68 and the sudden paralysis of more than 100 children in the last year . A new study published Monday in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases backed those initial opinions, after following the progress of 25 children in California and Colorado who experienced paralysis. Enteroviruses are a type of virus that use a single strand of RNA to replicate themselves inside the cells of mammals. Among other enteroviruses are polio, the virus that causes Hand Foot and Mouth disease along with others that cause a range of respiratory illnesses. Enterovirus D-68 is among the most recently idenfitied and was first spotted in California in 1962. It can cause mild to severe respiratory illness and is likely to be spread by inhaling virus particles when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or touches a surface. In previous years only small numbers of EV-D68 infections have been reported but that has increased during 2014, according to the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. It has caused severe illness in a number of children and has even been implicated in some deaths. The incidence of infections has fallen off considerably since October but public health officials warn that infections seem to spike during the late summer and autumn. Researchers now suggest that the children were infected with a mutated form of D-68, which first appeared four years ago. B1 has five to six coding differences that make it different from other strains commonly found in the U.S., and that these differences cause nerve-damaging symptoms similar to polio. And like polio, the nerve damage appears to be permanent - since none of the children have fully recovered. 'This is starting to look more like polio unfortunately where the paralysis appears to be permanent or semi-permanent. This is why there is such an urgency for more research to investigate this' researcher Charles Chiu, an associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said according to the Washington Post. However, the study has not definitely proved the connection between B1 and the paralyzed children, since researchers could not find the strain in the patients' spinal fluid. The researchers however, theorized that that was because the samples were taken too late. 'This is a virus that causes the common cold,' Chiu told NBC News. 'Parents don't bring their kids in until they are really sick. By that time, typically, the viral levels may be very, very low or undetectable.'

The sentence for Diana Durand, 48, was unexpected because prosecutors had not recommended anything more than probation. The punishment could foreshadow a prison term for Grimm, who pleaded guilty in December to tax felony evasion. He is scheduled to be sentenced by a separate judge in June. Diana Durand, who had pleaded guilty to raising illegal campaign money for two congressional candidates, was sentenced on Tuesday to three months in custody. The punishment was unexpected because prosecutors had not recommended anything more than probation . Durand pleaded guilty in September to violating the Federal Election Campaign Act by directing more than $10,000 in campaign contributions to two candidates for the House of Representatives in 2010 through straw donors whom she reimbursed, avoiding federal caps on donations. Her attorney Stuart Kaplan, who is also Grimm's attorney, has confirmed that one of the two candidates was Grimm, with whom she at one time had a personal relationship. Kaplan claimed last May that Durand did not intend to commit a crime and that she was being targeted solely because of her ties to Grimm. 'My client is not a sophisticated woman,' he said, explaining that she did know what she was doing was illegal. \u2018She was just trying to help this guy out who she was in a relationship with \u2013 nothing more, nothing less,\u2019 he said at another point in April.

From above: Kayden said of the punishment 'I learned my lesson, and he's a good dad for doing it' Another condition of the punishment is that it remains Kayden's own Facebook profile picture and cover photo until Robenhorst relents. The surprise punishment, carried out Wednesday in 32-degree weather, came after Timothy got wind that his son had insulted a classmate, and later pushed him into a locker while walking between classes. Robenhorst, who heard what had happened from friends, decided not to let his son know in advance, but sprang the punishment on him at 4am. Punished: Kayden, pictured, was given an array of unpleasant tasks to make up for his wrongs . After sitting him down and explaining what was about to happen, he dressed him up, stood over him during the push-ups then sent him out on the run.

'When he found up, he woke me up at 3:30 in the morning, and he sat me down on the couch. And when I didn't come up with a good enough excuse to save my butt, I told the truth. 'He made me do 50 knuckle push-ups, run a mile, then come back and do incline push-ups. And I'm still not done.' 'I think it's a really good punishment - I learned my lesson and he's a good dad for doing it.' The two planned to have Kayden apologize to the boy in question in front of his whole class, but school authorities decided a private meeting would be a better solution. Kayden also apologized a second time when there were no teachers and parents around. Speaking about his high-profile parenting, Robenhorst said: 'He understood - he knows it was wrong and there have been no hard feelings since.' 'He actually has said \"Thank you, I deserved that, I understand it was wrong.\" I believe he also apologized to the child another time the other day.'

According to the Dutch newspaper De Limburger, the children's father had previously reported his estranged wife to the police because he was concerned she was planning to travel to Syria. Officers are said to have questioned the woman several times but she denied having intentions to join ISIS and investigators could find no evidence of concrete travel plans. Shortly afterwards the woman vanished from Maastricht with two of the children, prompting Dutch officials to launch a major alert, leading to an international arrest warrant being issued. Despite this the woman later took to Facebook to declare that she and her two children had arrived in the terrorists' de facto capital Raqqa, having used fake passports to travel across Europe. After making the announcement of their arrival in Raqqa on Facebook last October, nothing has been heard from the trio since. Dutch officials said they had no way of telling whether the group were still alive, with prosecutor Bart den Hartigh declaring the recovery of the children 'impossible' as the Netherlands has no legal relationship with either the Syrian regime or the terror group that controls the city of Raqqa.

House prices have increased by as much as 40 per cent in some areas in the past two years as the market has recovered, while pay rises have stagnated.

Halifax, part of Lloyds Banking Group, found that homes had earned more than the people living in them in 73 out of 384 local authorities. Sixty-eight of these council areas were in London, the South East, and the East of England. There were only five examples of homes 'out-performing' earnings in Wales, the South West and the East Midlands, and none in the North East, the North West, the West Midlands, or Scotland. The most dramatic example was in Hammersmith and Fulham, where house prices rose by \u00a3143,232 more than their owners earned over the two-year period.

At the same time, it is challenging news for those looking to buy their first home in such areas, with prices being pushed out of range for many young people.' Campbell Robb, of housing charity Shelter, said: 'This will come as no surprise to the millions of young people and families struggling to scrape together enough to afford a home of their own.

(Ebury Press \u00a310.99) As usual with books about crazed adventures and daft derring-do, this one, about the author\u2019s attempt to swim the length of the British coastline, begins with an account of the preparation involved. However, very unusually for such books and adventures, Sean Conway\u2019s account is mainly about what he hasn\u2019t thought of doing. Charity swimmer Sean Conway, 32 (pictured), arriving at John O'Groats, in the north of Scotland, after being the first person to swim from Lands End to John O'Groats . Just weeks before he\u2019s due to dive into the sea off Land\u2019s End, he hasn\u2019t done any training or sought any funding and has no \u2018plan\u2019 to speak of. Nor is this some long-held ambition of his. Indeed, it seems that he only thought of this ultra-long-distance swim up the British coast because his attempt to cycle around the world didn\u2019t happen as he\u2019d have wished \u2014 all was going well until he had a crash and, although he completed the pan-global bike ride, it couldn\u2019t get him into the Guinness World Records. So, the swim is meant to fill that crucial gap in his CV. Somehow, he manages to acquire three people to act as his support crew and a cut-price yacht, leaving \u00a3110 in his budget for everything else \u2014 supplies, equipment, the lot. Not surprisingly, there are those who tell him he\u2019s crazy and that he\u2019d be best off spending his last \u00a3110 on the medication his GP would surely be only too happy to prescribe. But on our hero ploughs, somehow gaining a bit of sponsorship (partly from Speedo, the trunks people) and eventually managing to get his support crew to Land\u2019s End to start his Big Swim. Only to discover two problems. First, there\u2019s the temperature: \u2018I slowly walked into the water,\u2019 Conway recalls, \u2018and was surprised at how cold it was.\u2019 Right . . .Turns out the sea is not only cold, it apparently also has these things called tides. As he\u2019s settling down to his first crawl, it begins to dawn on Conway that he\u2019ll have to time his swims so that he\u2019s going with the tide rather than against it \u2014 because even Michael Phelps at full tilt wouldn\u2019t be a match for the current and would start to go backwards. Which is exactly what happens to Conway. Soon after, there\u2019s another problem \u2014 seasickness, for Conway, as well as two of his support crew. There are lots and lots of other dangers ahead, almost all of them coming as a shock to our intrepid swimmer. Between Cornwall and the north coast of Scotland, there will be whirlpools, riptides, the mountainous seas off Cape Wrath, busy shipping lanes, a tornado warning and toxic jellyfish. Plus his scabby toe gets worse daily, his wetsuit doesn\u2019t fit properly, he has to eat about 8,000 calories a day, often in mid-swim, and the protein shakes are giving him wind something dreadful.

Miss Smith, who modelled under the name Toria Melody and at the time dyed her hair bright pink, had been bullied by Morris at the college where they were studying, the court heard. Victoria Smith, 17, was left with raw burns and hair loss when a school bully attacked her at a party in Hull in August last year, while shouting: \u2018Here\u2019s your shot of bleach' Morris was suspended as a result and began threatening to attack her accuser with bleach. \u2018She knew she was a model and it was designed to burn and disfigure,\u2019 said Stephen Welch, prosecuting. But her sight was saved when a quick-thinking friend carrying some Pepsi splashed it over her burning eyes. The assault came in a carefully-planned ambush in which Miss Smith was lured to a house party in their home town of Hull last August. First aid manuals stress the vital importance of flushing out the eyes with lukewarm water if they come into contact with harmful chemicals. Ideally the eyes will be bathed for at least 15-20 minutes to dilute the substance and remove as much of it as possible before it can cause damage.

However, once an acid or alkali enters the eye, there is usually no specific benefit in using the opposite to try to neutralise it. She was unaware that Morris was there but became suspicious that something was wrong and left. Her tormentor then followed her down the street and flung the bleach in her face with the aim of ruining her looks.

Almost one in three crimes is \u2018inappropriately\u2019 punished with a police caution or penalty notice, including some that carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, such as rape, MPs say. Some 86,000 offences that could have gone before a Crown Court were dealt with out of court in the year to June 2014, they add.

The Home Affairs Select Committee points to an \u2018alarming\u2019 rise of the caution culture \u2013 which grew and peaked under the Labour government \u2013 and says this has damaged public confidence in the justice system. The committee\u2019s report concludes that too often, police used cautions as a \u2018time-saving tool\u2019 rather than the correct way of tackling an offence. In total, police issued 318,500 of the so-called out-of-court disposals, mostly for minor offences, in 2013-14, down from 660,965 in 2008. Despite ministers insisting cautions are \u2018inappropriate\u2019 for serious offences, 70 sexual and violent offenders a week received one in the past four years. Keith Vaz, Labour chairman of the committee, said: \u2018The inappropriate use of out-of-court disposals to deal with serious offences is unacceptable. \u2018It is alarming that they are not being used in the correct way in up to 30 per cent of cases. \u2018We cannot allow the misuse of out-of-court disposals in serious cases to continue. The public deserve to feel reassured that their local police forces are not tackling serious crimes with a slap on the wrist.\u2019 Keith Vaz, Labour chairman of the committee, said the 'inappropriate use of out-of-court disposals to deal with serious offences unacceptable. The committee also says the use of cautions has resulted in a \u2018postcode lottery\u2019. In Gwent, 49 per cent of offences were brought to justice, compared with 26 per cent in West Yorkshire. At the peak, one in ten of all solved cases was dealt with by out-of-court disposals. By last year, it had fallen to fewer than one in 20. The report found that cautions could save the police time and money by cutting bureaucracy, allowing front-line officers to spend more time pounding the beat. Arresting an offender takes almost three hours of police time, and charging someone takes five hours. But too many cautions were being handed out \u2018inappropriately\u2019, says the committee. The report welcomes reforms being introduced by Justice Secretary Chris Grayling that will end the caution culture which led to criminals being let off with a warning. Six types of out-of-court disposals will be replaced with just two which are designed to compel offenders to make some form of reparation. Minor criminals will be told they must apologise to victims or repair damage they have caused to prevent a court appearance.

+{"article": "The word 'lunatic' itself was derived from the Latin word for moon 'luna,' as many were convinced that the celestial body could cause disease and strange behaviour. And it's a theory that persists today, with many people believing that a full moon is more likely to coincide with hectic periods in hospitals or in birth wards. But Dr Jean-Luc Margot, a professor of planetary astronomy at the University of California, has carried out a study that proves that the concept is essentially rubbish. A researcher from the University of California says that claims the moon causes illnesses are rubbish. Dr Margot said that when life is hectic on the day of a full moon, many people remember the association because it confirms their belief - but they do not remember when nothing in particular happens on such a day . His research was carried out to illustrate how intelligent and otherwise reasonable people develop strong beliefs that are not aligned with reality. 'The absence of a lunar influence on human affairs has been demonstrated in the areas of automobile accidents, hospital admissions, surgery outcomes, cancer survival rates, menstruation, births, birth complications, depression, violent behaviour, and even criminal activity', Dr Margot writes. Even though a 40-year-old UCLA study demonstrated that the timing of births does not correlate in any way with the lunar cycle, the belief in a lunar effect has persisted. A full moon is when it is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun. This means its entire surface is lit up by the sun, making it especially bright. A new moon is when it is in the same direction as the sun, so its 'far side' is lit, and it can barely be seen in Earth's sky. On average, the moon is 239,000 miles (384,000km) from Earth and takes 27 days, seven hours, 43 minutes and 11.6 seconds to complete one orbit. A 2004 study in a nursing journal, for example, suggested that the full moon influenced the number of hospital admissions in a medical unit in Barcelona, Spain. But Dr Margot identified multiple flaws in the data collection and analysis of the 2004 research. By re-analysing the data, he showed that the number of admissions was unrelated to the lunar cycle. 'The moon is innocent,' Dr Margot said. Dr Margot cited what scientists refer to as the 'confirmation bias' - people's tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms their beliefs and ignore data that contradict them. When life is hectic on the day of a full moon, many people remember the association because it confirms their belief. But hectic days that do not correspond with a full moon are promptly ignored and forgotten because they do not reinforce the belief. The moon is even blamed when things get crazy at hospital emergency rooms (stock image shown) or birth wards. 'Some nurses ascribe the apparent chaos to the moon, but dozens of studies show that the belief is unfounded,' said Dr Jean-Luc Margot, a UCLA professor of planetary astronomy .

+{"article": "Scientists are virtually certain that California will be rocked by a strong earthquake in the next 30 years. Now they say the risk of a mega-quake is more likely than previously thought. The chance of a magnitude-8 quake striking the state in the next three decades jumped to 7 per cent from 4.7 per cent, mainly because scientists took into account the possibility that several faults can shake at once, releasing seismic energy that results in greater destruction. While the risk of a mega-quake is higher than past estimates, it's more likely - greater than 99 per cent chance - that California will be rattled by a magnitude-6.7 jolt similar in size to the 1994 Northridge disaster. Brace: A new U.S. Geological Survey report has increased the likelihood of a magnitude-8 earthquake hitting California over the next 30 years. Above, a photo of an overpass that collapsed in the 1994 magnitude-6.7 Northridge earthquake . The chance of a Northridge-size quake was slightly higher in Northern California than Southern California - 95 per cent versus 93 per cent, according to a report released Tuesday by the U.S. Geological Survey. 'California is earthquake country, and residents should live every day like it could be the day of a big one,' USGS geophysicist and lead author Ned Field said. The latest seismic calculations largely mirror previous findings issued by the USGS in 2008. Back then, scientists also determined that California faced an almost certain risk of experiencing a Northridge-size quake. The new report included newly discovered fault zones and the possibility that a quake can jump from fault to fault. Because of this knowledge, the odds of a catastrophic quake - magnitude 8 or larger - in the next 30 years increased. There is a 93 per cent chance of a magnitude 7 or larger occurring over the same period and a 48 per cent chance of a magnitude 7.5 - similar to previous estimates. Thousands of quakes every year hit California, sandwiched between two of Earth's major tectonic plates, the Pacific and North American plates. Most are too small to be felt. Of the more than 300 faults that crisscross the state, the southern segment of the San Andreas Fault - which runs from central California to the Salton Sea near the U.S.-Mexico border - remains the greatest threat because it hasn't ruptured in more than three centuries. The report found there is a 19 per cent chance in the next 30 years that a Northridge-size quake will unzip the southern section compared to a 6.4 per cent chance for the northern section, partly because it last broke in 1906. The southern San Andreas is 'ready to have an earthquake because it's really locked and loaded,' Field said. The report is a forecast, but it is not a prediction. Experts still cannot predict exactly where or when a quake will hit anywhere in the world. In recent years, the USGS and several universities have been testing an early warning system designed to detect the first waves of a jolt and send out an alert", "summary": "New U.S. Geological Survey report increases chances of magnitude-8 earthquake in next three decades to 7 per cent, up from 4.7 per cent ."}

Valerie Cadman-Khan has successfully sued Cleveland Police for wrongful arrest after being handcuffed in front of her daughter Aimee when she was 12 . The 56-year-old was led away from her former boyfriend's house in front of her daughter amid false claims Aimee, who has Down's syndrome, had been left alone for 45 minutes in the cold . Middlesbrough County Court heard how officer Detective Sergeant Colin Helyer lied to the local authority child abuse investigation to justify arresting the mother of five. On the day in question in November 2008, he had been called to her former partner's home over an unpaid tax bill. Aimee had been left in the man's care and was sitting outside when police arrived. Mrs Cadman Khan was at work. But the police officer began 'banging' on the front door and later claimed the child had turned 'purple' because she was not wearing a coat. Upon her arrival at the property Mrs Cadman-Khan, who left work early because she was not feeling well, was arrested and taken away by police. Detective Sergeant Colin Helyer was accused of 'freestyle lying' in his version of events . Aimee was forced to watch the incident, all the while screaming: 'I want my mummy,' she claimed. Her mother launched a wrongful arrest suit and has won her case against the force. Her claim for \u00a334,000 in compensation will be assessed at a later date. Speaking of her ordeal the teacher, who works for the council at East Coast Training, a pupil referral centre, said: 'It was never about the money - it was about clearing my name after the injustice to me and my little girl. 'This should never have come to court, I only wanted an apology. 'All I could hear was my little girl shouting \"I want my mummy, I want my mummy\". 'It was horrendous.' After arresting Mrs Cadman-Khan on suspicion of child neglect, Det Sgt Helyer 'lied under oath' to claim Aimee had been mistreated, the court heard. 'He falsely asserted that Aimee had been purple and suggested the client had been violent to him,' Nick Stanage, barrister for Mrs Cadman-Khan said. 'Sadly this was a witness that even when caught in a lie by the court he was unwilling to be honest about it.' 'For a woman of good character from that profession to be arrested and accused of allegations of child neglect and cruelty is of the utmost seriousness.' He denied maliciously arresting the mother of five, insisting that all of his actions were in Aimee's best interest. 'In the balance of probability it was more likely Sgt Helyer overreacted and was led", "summary": "Valerie Cadman-Khan was left 'humiliated' when she was arrested in 2008 .

Gupta initially confessed to the crime saying he did it because Waugh was cheating with his girlfriend. But this week in court, Gupta's attorneys have claimed he only made the confession as he was protecting his now ex-girlfriend Taylor Gould, who had in fact killed Waugh, reports the Washington Post.

But this week in court, Gupta's attorneys have claimed he only made the confession as he was protecting his now ex-girlfriend Taylor Gould, who had in fact killed Waugh (both pictured) Gould who has not been charged with anything and is not on trial, testified last week, telling jurors that she'd been too drunk on the night in question to remember what happened. 'I had no reason to hurt anyone,' she said. Gupta, his 23-year-old girlfriend, Waugh and one other had spent the night celebrating Gupta's birthday. Gould consumed at least six drinks, including red wine, a whiskey-and-cranberry, an Irish coffee, and a margarita. Dark turn: The group spent a Saturday night out celebrating Gupta's birthday. The first three later returned to the girlfriend's apartment where they continued to drink shots . After drinking, Gupta and Waugh returned to Gupta's girlfriend's apartment in Silver Springs at 1:30am where the three continued drinking shots of alcohol. Taylor Gould says she was too drunk the night of the murder to remember anything clearly . Neighbors later reported hearing loud noises coming from the apartment, like people were moving furniture. Shortly before 3:30am Sunday morning, police responded to a 911 call made by the girlfriend. When they arrived on the scene, police reported hearing movements and yelling inside but no one answered the door when they knocked. Police opened the locked door and Gould approached the officers with blood on her and said: 'I don't know what happened. Can you tell me?' Officers noted seeing blood on the walls of the kitchen and living area and Gupta lying on the floor, covered in blood. They asked Gupta if he was hurt but he said: 'I don't think so'. Prosecutor Patrick Mays told the court that when asked what had happened, Gupta told them: 'My girlfriend and my buddy were cheating. I walked in on my girlfriend and my buddy cheating. I killed my buddy.' Officers found Waugh lying on the floor unresponsive and he was pronounced dead - he had been stabbed six times and slashed five times.

An exhibition of gruesome torture images showing eye gougings, strangulation and the effects of long-term starvation, is being staged at the city's United Nations headquarters. About 25 pictures from a collection of 55,000 are on display this week, in an initiative sponsored by the US, Britain, France, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, as the conflict in Syria moves into its fifth year. Some were visibly distressed as they viewed the horrific pictures, which were smuggled out of Syria between 2011 and mid-2013. Former war crimes prosecutors have described the images as 'clear evidence' of systematic torture and mass killings in Syria's three-year-long civil war. Scroll down for video . Distressing: A woman covers her mouth as she views shocking images sumggled out of Syria on display at the UN headquarters in New York . Shocked: Another visitor reacts after examining some of the 25 pictures of dead bodies in Syr . They were taken by a former military police photographer who has been identified by the code name 'Caesar'. Britain's UN Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said the aim of the exhibition was to raise awareness of the human rights abuses that President Bashar al-Assad's troops have been accused of committing against the Syrian people. 'As the conflict in Syria enters its fifth year, the number of those killed and displaced has reached 220,000 and 7.6million, and over 3.8million have been forced to flee the country,' Mr Lyall Grant said. 'We hope that this exhibition will serve as a reminder of the imperative to pursue a political solution to the conflict with utmost urgency to end the suffering of the Syrian people.' Syrian's UN Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari was not immediately available for comment on the photos. Caesar was a senior sergeant in Syria's army who spent 13 years working as a forensic photographer, say former war crimes prosecutors who examined the photos. Lawyers acting for Qatar commissioned the examination of the evidence. Qatar, like Saudi Arabia, is strongly opposed to Assad. Between September 2011 and August 2013, Caesar worked at a military hospital, taking photos of bodies from three detention centres in the Damascus area. He smuggled copies of those photos out of the hospital on memory sticks hidden in his shoe. The UN Security Council viewed the photos during an informal meeting last April. Russia and China vetoed a bid in May to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court for possible prosecution of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the civil war.

+{"article": "AIDS came from gorillas as well as chimpanzees, new research suggests. Two of the four known groups of viruses that cause the disease have been traced back to the great apes that share about 98 per cent of their DNA with humans. It had been known simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) - the monkey equivalent of HIV - had jumped from chimpanzees into humans, but now it seems gorillas in Cameroon also played a vital role. Scientists say understanding the disease's origins will help predict the future risk of an outbreak. Scientists have discovered that AIDS may have originated from western lowland gorillas in Cameroon, as well as groups of chimpanzees in the country . The connection was uncovered after researchers analysed faecal samples collected in remote forests. They found HIV-1 groups known as 'O' and 'P' originated in western lowland gorillas. HIV-1 - the virus that causes AIDS - has jumped species to infect humans on at least four separate occasions. The other lineages, 'M' and 'N', are known to have started in geographically distinct chimpanzee communities in southern Cameroon. Group 'M' gave rise to the AIDS pandemic - infecting over 40 million people worldwide by spreading across Africa and throughout the rest of the world. Scientists found HIV-1 groups known as 'O' and 'P' originated in western lowland gorillas. A conceptual image of a HIV infected cell is pictured . Groups 'N' and 'P', at the other extreme, have only been found in a few individuals from Cameroon. But 'O' - although not as widespread and prevalent as 'M' - has nonetheless infected about 100,000 people in west central Africa. The team screened fecal samples from western lowland gorillas, eastern lowland gorillas, and mountain gorillas in Cameroon, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda for evidence of SIV strains - the pre-cursors of HIV. A new book claims the AIDS epidemic began in a rainforest in southeastern Cameroon in 1908 and not more than 70 years later when the virus started to be recognized in the early 1980s. For the book, which is subtitled 'How AIDS emerged from an African forest', David Quammen traced the history of AIDS by examining genetic samples from humans and chimps. This led him to believe the birthplace of the epidemic was the southeastern edge of Cameroon sometime around 1908. Quammen theorizes that a hunter in the rainforest was infected with a immunodeficiency virus similar to HIV by a chimp he killed and butchered. The hunter likely infected at least one other person through sex and the virus continued to make its way down the Sangha River in that matter until it reached the city of Leopoldville (now Kinshasa) in the Congo. After reaching the Congo, the virus spread even faster via the continued re-use of hypodermic syringes at health clinics, Mr Quammen said. They identified it in four communities of western lowland gorillas in southern Cameroon - and dubbed it 'SIVgor'. Professor Beatrice Hahn, of Pennsylvania University, said: 'Viral sequencing revealed a high degree of genetic diversity among the different gorilla samples.

The animals - the first wild beavers to breed in England for 800 years - were captured earlier this week and given crucial blood tests. Their clear results mean the beavers should be released back into the wild on the River Otter by the end of the month. A family of beavers is to continue living free on a Devon river after passing health checks that included blood tests. Natural England, the government agency in charge of wildlife, said the animals won't be put in a zoo, but will instead be allowed to stay in the wild and be carefully monitored in the first project of its kind . Ministers wanted the remarkable animals to be rounded up and put in a zoo after they were spotted last year. But Natural England, the government agency in charge of wildlife, decided they will instead be allowed to stay in the wild in the first project of its kind. Their approval last month was conditional on the beavers being assessed as free of the disease Echinococcus multilocularis, which can be harmful to humans. Now that tests have revealed that the four adult beavers are free of the disease, and if they pass a few more tests, they are set to be released onto the river. The Echinococcus multilocularis parasite is a small tapeworm. Its eggs can cause alveolar echinococcosis (AE) - a disease in humans brought on if a person swallows the tapeworm's eggs. High risk people include hunters, vets and other people who come into contact with carriers. This includes wild foxes, or coyotes, household dogs and cats or other animals that eat wild rodents infected with AE. Beavers may also pick up the eggs from their surroundings. Humans can be exposed to these eggs by 'hand-to-mouth' transfer or contamination. Devon Wildlife Trust, which will monitor the beavers for the next five years, said they had passed a \u2018vital hurdle\u2019 in one of the most important schemes in the history of English conservation. Beavers, which are native to England, were common in our countryside until they were wiped out by hunters in the Middle Ages. They vanished from our rivers and wetlands for centuries until, mysteriously, one was spotted near Ottery St Mary in eastern Devon last winter. It later became clear there were nine of the animals, two pairs of breeding adults and five juveniles, and they had been quietly living and breeding there for at least five years. It was unclear where they came from \u2013 but they had thrived without any outside interference. Environmentalists were delighted at the unexpected finding, but were horrified when Defra, the Government\u2019s environment department, decided last year that they would round up the beavers. Officials said the animals posed a risk to other wildlife and might spread parasites and disease, and insisted they must be put in a zoo or even culled.

'Bleaching can permanently raise the cuticle, leaving hair dry, brittle and porous. Overlapping bleach in the same place leaves hair feeling weak and elastic, which can then lead to hair breakage.' He added: 'Overuse and repeated application of bleach to the scalp can strip the hair of moisture and damage the follicle.

'He should not have to worry about these kind of actions from a teacher in a class in a school and in a state that advertises diversity.' The parents contacted the assistant principal of the school, and when asked about the name-calling, Mrs Valdes admitted that she had called their son 'rag-head Taliban', WSVN reported.

Mr Wardani wrote on a Facebook page detailing the incident 'She does the crime and he is the one to be punished.'

'She responded with huffing and puffing accompanied with rolling eyes and arrogance,' he wrote. 'She showed no remorse whatsoever!'

Under the ban UAE riders will not be allowed to compete for their country in any international events, although they will be allowed to compete under an FEI flag in non-endurance disciplines outside of the Emirates. There has been growing concern over the treatment of endurance horses in the UAE and the world body recently stepped in to remove two endurance events in UAE from the winter season. Three horses were reported dead at the 74-mile Al Reef Cup in Abu Dhabi on February 1 and one, Splitters Creek Bundy, appeared to have broken both front legs. It was at the Al Reef Cup that Splitters Creek Bundy front legs appeared to collapse beneath him . Click here to read chief sports writer Martin Samuel's column from October 2013: Sport is not about driving horses to their deaths . FEI president Ingmar de Vos said the FIA's Bureau had been unanimous in suspending the UAE federation. 'The decision to suspend a National Federation is not something that is taken lightly and we only should do this if no other remedy can be found,' he said in a statement. 'Sadly this was the only option left, but we have to take our responsibility and must never be afraid of tackling major issues head-on. Where horse welfare is concerned the FEI has to show leadership and solve problems in a structural way without making any concessions.' De Vos said the FEI had hoped strict enforcement of new rules brought in on August 1 last year would reduce the numbers of 'catastrophic injuries' and fatalities in the UAE. Dubai\u2019s Sheik Mohammed (right) takes part in an endurance race in the Jordanian desert . The statement was quite devastating. The International Equestrian Federation had removed the two remaining International Endurance events scheduled to be held in the United Arab Emirates in an emergency measure to protect horse welfare and preserve integrity. Put bluntly: some of the most respected horsemen in the world can\u2019t be trusted to look after horses. Within days, Endurance Great Britain dropped a proposed blanket sponsorship from the Meydan Corporation, owned by Sheik Mohammed Al Maktoum, citing national and international pressures and sensitivities. With this scandal mounting for close on two years, it is incredible and embarrassing that Meydan got through the door, no matter how much money was at stake. 'Regretfully this has not been the case,' he added. 'In the end we had no other choice than taking this drastic measure to deal with an unacceptable situation.' Endurance races in the Middle East can be brutal with distances of 100 miles a day, covered at high speed, common. Allegations of horse identity fraud have also been investigated by the FEI, according to the paper.

A mother-of-two set fire to the home she was being evicted from in a bid to kill herself and her two young children after hearing voices. Aimee Griffiths, 30, of Ruabon, Wrexham, told her two children to lie down and go to sleep as she started the blaze. But her 10-year-old daughter ran out of the house as the fire began to spread and raised the alarm. Heroically her neighbours - both in their sixties - were able to get Griffiths and her seven-year-old son out of the burning house despite Griffiths fighting to stay inside with the boy. She was 'grabbed by the scruff of her neck' and dragged out - and even then tried to get back in. Griffiths has now been jailed for five years and four months at Mold Crown Court after she admitted arson. Judge David Hale told her that what she did in the early hours of August 27 last year 'defied belief'. 'You were clearly intent on killing yourself and your two little children,' he said. 'You were on that day, without doubt, in mental turmoil.' The court heard she had been threatened with eviction and was not in a position to cope with a number of other pressures. The judge said: 'The fact remains that you intended to kill your children and yourself by setting fire to the house. 'If it were not for the tenacity of your daughter, determined to live, you may well have succeeded.' Judge Hale went on to praise the 'heroic intervention' of neighbours William and Eileen Bride. 'They are entitled to a most remarkable thanks from the community for what they did,' he said. The judge said that while on remand at Styal Prison in Cheshire Griffiths had made 'remarkable progress which was all credit to her'.

A note written by Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as he hid inside a boat contained themes of global jihad similar to those found in extremist materials on his computer, a terrorism expert testified Monday at his federal death penalty trial. In the note, scrawled in pencil and carved in wood on the inside walls of the boat, Tsarnaev condemned U.S. actions in Muslim countries and asked Allah to make him a 'shaheed,' a martyr, said Matthew Levitt, a terrorism expert at The Washington Institute, a think tank that focuses on U.S. policy in the Middle East.

Two pressure-cooker bombs were planted by Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, near the finish line of the 2013 marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260. Prosecutors say Tsarnaev made it clear in the note he wrote in the boat that the brothers saw the attack as retaliation for U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died three days after the bombings following a shootout with police and being run over by Dzhokhar during an escape. Dzhokhar was found more than 18 hours later hiding in a boat parked in a yard in Watertown. During opening statements, Tsarnaev's lawyer acknowledged that he participated in the bombings but portrayed Tamerlan, 26, as the mastermind who recruited his younger brother, then 19, to help him. Tsarnaev's lawyers have made it clear they are using both the guilt and penalty phases of the trial to try to save him from the death penalty. Prosecutors are expected to rest their case in the guilt phase this week. The same jury will then decide whether he spends the rest of his life in prison or receives the death penalty.

Cash invested only in Fortune 1000 stocks from companies with female CEOs had a return of 348 per cent over the past 12 years, researchers found. In the same period of time, a portfolio made up of stocks from the S&P500 index would have returned just 122 per cent. The discovery was made by finance technology company Quantopian, which ran two imaginary $100,000 investment funds using stock data from 2002-2014. Bringing home the bacon: A study found that Fortune 1000 companies with female CEOs produced returns of 348 per cent from 2002 to 2014, as shown in green on the graph above. For comparison, the S&P500 index, in blue, had a return of 122 per cent in the same period . Top of the pile: Mindy Grossman, CEO of HSNi (left), Debra Cafaro of Ventas (center) and Marissa Meyer of Yahoo! (right) all brought in substantial returns for shareholders during their tenures . At the end of the experiment, the women's fund was calculated to be worth $440,158, while the S&P fund was at $222,306. The women's fund would hold stocks by all Fortune 1000 companies with female CEOs for as long as the woman was at the head of the company. It would sell the stock whenever a woman left the top spot, and buy in to new companies which appointed women. Fewer than one in 20 major companies currently has a female CEO. According to a report by Fortune magazine, the best performers were HSNi, which runs the home shopping network, and Ventas, a healthcare company which runs housing estates for the elderly. HSNi has been run by Mindy Grossman since 2006, and Ventas by Debra Cafaro for the whole 12-year period - both women returned more than 500 per cent on initial investments. Other high-performing female CEOs were Marissa Meyer at Yahoo!, Linda Lang at Jack in the Box and Carol Meyrowitz at TJX, a homeware and clothing retailer. Some women dragged the pack down, however, including New York Times CEO Janet Robinson, whose eight-year tenure saw the company shed 80 per cent of its worth. There is no definitive explanation for why female CEOs apparently bring in so much more cash for investors. It has been suggested that typically female personality traits make for better corporate leaders. Kip Tindell, CEO of The Container Store, has made 70 per cent of his executives female. He told Business Insider: 'Emotional intelligence is the key to being really successful. People who have it keep their egos in check; they're comfortable with surrounding themselves with people better than them...' However, it has also been suggested that female leaders can feel pressure more than male counterparts. Mindy Grossman, one of the best-performing female CEOs of recent times, told Forbes that high-powered women are more at risk of burning out, too.

Sprinting in front of him was Ross Barkley and Atsu wasted no time sending the England man clear. As Tim Krul raced out, Barkley danced around him, the ball never leaving his feet and - with the goal at his mercy - he gracefully applied the finishing touch. Goodison Park, at long last, was exultant and all around this old stadium, fans punched the air in celebration.

Ivan Rakitic superbly lifts the ball over the on-rushing Joe Hart to give Barcelona the lead against Man City . Rakitic loops the ball over Hart and past Vincent Kompany to earn Barcelona a 1-0 lead at the Nou Camp . When he signed in the summer what was the reaction? There was no hysteria but it was considered a welcome addition for two reasons \u2013 firstly they need midfielders after selling Cesc Fabregas to Chelsea and Thiago to Bayern Munich, and second Rakitic was, along with his fellow countryman Luka Modric, the best midfielder in La Liga last season. Is he an improvement on the aforementioned Fabregas and Thiago? Thiago has the potential to be the best of the three but appalling luck with injuries has stalled his career.

+{"article": "Cleared: Lloyd Erp was acquitted after being accused of murdering his wife Lori in a suicide pact. The scars from where he shot himself are visible . A man charged with murdering his wife during a double suicide pact that went wrong has been dramatically acquitted by a jury. Lloyd Erp has spent more than two years in jail waiting to come to trial over the death of his wife Lori. The court heard how the couple, from Portland, Oregon, had both signed a suicide note saying they wanted to to die on March 2, 2013. Mr Erp told the court that his 52-year-old wife shot herself twice in the head in their bedroom, before he took the rifle and tried to kill himself. He shot himself twice in the head, but survived. Police were called and Lori was found in bed. Mr Erp was arrested and charged with murder, and during the trial prosecutors claimed a post-mortem examination of Lori's body suggested she had been shot by someone else. But on Wednesday Mulnomah County jurors cleared him of murder, after deliberating for less than a day. During the trial, a defence lawyer told jurors the Erps were deeply in love but suffered health problems and addictions to painkillers. They also faced losing their home because neither of them were in work. Mr Erp told the court he still missed his wife terribly, and some days still wants to die, according to a report by OregonLive. An earlier trial saw the jury reach deadlock - because they could not decide whether Mr Erp had shot and murdered his wife - and a mistrial was declared. But during the latest court appearance, prosecution lawyer Tom Cleary urged jurors to follow Oregon law, which said that if they believed Mr Erp fired the fatal shots they must find him guilty of murder. 'This is not a Death With Dignity case,' the prosecutor said. The judge also instructed jurors that Oregon law doesn't define murder as assisting another in committing suicide, such as handing someone a loaded gun. But state law does define murder as committing the actual killing, the judge said -- actually pulling the trigger even if the person wanted to die. Dr Christopher Young, deputy state medical examiner, testified that he determined Lori Erp didn't shoot herself but died by someone else's action. Mr Erp's 52-year-old wife Lori (pictured) was found dead at her home in bed with two shots to her head. Prosecutors alleged Mr Erp had tried to kill her, but he successfully argued that she had shot herself . However defence expert and former medical examiner Dr Michael Propst, said it was unclear whether the woman died by her own hand. Lawyer for the defence Kasla Rutledge added: 'People who are murdered in their sleep by their husbands don't leave suicide notes.' The report in OregonLive added that Mr Erp had not been allowed to attend his wife's memorial service. 'This has been two long years that Lloyd has been in custody, waiting to be exonerated,' Ms Rutledge said.", "summary": "Lloyd Erp was accused of shooting his wife in Oregon while she was in bed .

'In that particular instance, Palace have been let off. Mike Dean has a massive responsibility on the fact that (Murray) was one of the main reasons why Crystal Palace won. 'And for me that is something disappointing.

The designer of the Swirl tap claims the hollow vortex of water created by the faucet can save around 15 per cent more water than standard taps. He claims that it is also more comfortable to use as the water does not pour out in a solid jet. The Swirl tap sends water from the tap in a symmetrical design that apparently saves 15 per cent more water . Simin Qiu, a student at the London Royal College of Art, said he hoped the design might become popular in hotels and homes. He said: 'It's a very simple design. I've used two turbines to create the effect, with one making the water flow clockwise and the other anticlockwise. 'The spiral is an organic shape water takes in nature and I wanted to recreate that. 'It is more comfortable on people's hands because it's not flowing in a solid line. My design changes the angle the water hits your hands at and it's smoother.' Mr Qiu is curerntly testing a prototype of his tap, which took him two months to design. It uses turbines that spin in opposite directions inside the valve at the mouth of the tap to send thin streams of water spiralling down into the sink. The Swirl tap uses two turbines inside the faucet (left) to send the water into a spiral. The graphic on the right shows how the turbines fit together with push value to provide a spinning vortex of water onto the users hands . The tap works by pressing a single button on top, allowing water at a preset temperature to flow out of the tap . The tap is operated by touching a switch on the top. Mr Qiu says the desing allows water to come out at the same pressure as a standard faucet but uses less water. However, the temperature from the tap has to be preset so that the water coming out will always be the right temperature. Mr Qui added: 'I hope it will be ready by the end of the year. 'It will be more expensive than ordinary taps, it's not something that will be in every home. 'It's a luxury product that will probably be in hotels and limited use in homes by next year.'

Two of those draws were against Paris St Germain, in exiting the Champions League on away goals, while one of the two wins in the same unbeaten run secured the first silverware of the season. 'We're desperate... not desperate, it's the wrong word - we're looking for the next convincing win, the next win, to get us back up and running,' Cahill told Chelsea TV. 'We should be going out playing with freedom and not feeling the pressure. 'We should be going out and enjoying (it). I think that comes with winning games. The next win I'm sure is just around the corner for us.' Hull, Chelsea's next opponents on Sunday, have been warned, particularly as the Blues have a full week's preparation, unusual at this time of the season. 'We're out the competitions, apart from the Premier League,' Cahill said. 'We can prepare well. A week, which is rare for us, to prepare for the next game, which is important.'

Cahill, who has won the European Cup with Chelsea, but is yet to win a Premier League title, said: 'Playing for this club the expectations are so high. We didn't lose the (PSG) game, we drew. All of a sudden everyone's saying 'what's happening here?' 'As players we have to focus on the job in hand and that's the Premier League. 'I'm sure we'll kick on.

Homeless Christopher Dearlove, 59, was banned from entering any NHS building unless he had a genuine medical problem in 2010 after making up ailments to get a free bed for the night. But earlier this year he forced Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby into lock-down after telling nurses he had Ebola, coughing over them and demanding treatment. He was jailed at Grimsby Crown Court for 14 months. Dearlove, who is an alcoholic, had been drinking for almost four hours when he walked into the Grimsby A&E in February. The man, who is thought to be homeless, told nurses he had recently returned from West Africa where his wife had died of the disease. He claimed he had tested positive for Ebola at Johannesburg airport before coughing over staff. Using a false name, he was then heard saying: 'It\u2019s not my fault if everyone becomes infected.' Part of the A&E was forced into lock-down as nurses rushed into protective clothing. He was arrested after a member of staff recognised him and phoned the police. It is not thought Dearlove received any testing or treatment at the hospital. Sentencing, Judge David Tremberg said: 'You gave hard pressed medical services more cause for concern and work. 'They should not be diverted from genuinely sick and injured patients and not be indulging in your fantasies. 'Claiming Ebola and coughing on people is a particularly unpleasant and unattractive act.' Part of Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby was forced to close as a result of the stunt in February . In carrying out the stunt Dearlove broke an anti-social behaviour order issued in 2010 which banned him from visiting hospitals unless genuinely ill. It was imposed after he told nurses at various facilities that he was a haemophiliac with AIDS and coughed up fake blood to get a room. On separate occasions he claimed to have been experiencing weight loss, night sweats and pain in his chest in order to be admitted. From 2006 the NHS began distributing images of the fraudster to stop A&E departments across the country from admitting him.

He also pleaded guilty to a charge of driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence on the same date, when police officers spotted a Mercedes travelling in an 'erratic' manner, prosecutor Zahid Hussain said.

She also ordered that reports be made in the case after being told of Carlisle's medical situation. He had been spotted by police 'swerving' his Mercedes and nearly hitting a lorry on Pentonville Road, north London, on December 20 at about 7am. Mr Hussain said the car was seen 'swerving in the lane, to the pavement on the nearside, almost mounting the pavement' and that the tyres were 'grinding on the curb'. When the officers stopped and spoke to Carlisle, 'alcohol was smelled on his breath', Mr Hussain added.

Mr Blair has stepped up efforts to secure a Labour victory on May 7, despite repeatedly appearing to question the direction of Mr Miliband's leadership. The ex-PM has warned that fighting on a 'traditional left-wing' platform was a recipe for defeat for Labour.

He founded the Peace TV channel, billed as the world's only channel specialising in comparative religion, which now reaches an estimated English-language audience exceeding 100million, according to his award citation. 'Islam is the only religion that can bring peace to the whole of humanity,' he said in a video biography aired at the ceremony. It was on a broadcast on Peace TV that Dr Naik suggested that Muslims men may rape their slaves. 'There are many verses in the Koran which say you can have sex with your wife and with whatever your right hand possesses,' he told a mass audience at one event. 'Right hand possesses,' he went on. 'Which means your slaves.' He goes on to qualify his statement by saying the world at the time of the Prophet Mohammed was beset by war, making slavery more common, and that a pious Muslim would marry the slave he wanted to have sex with first. But the remark seems to be a disturbing echo of the doctrines of the Middle East's Islamic State insurgency. Last October, the terror group published an article on its propaganda page stating that the sexual enslavement of captured Yazidis was justified because they are a 'pagan minority'. 'Enslaving the families of the kuffar (non-believers) and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Sharia,' the article pronounced. Inside the Islamic State: Last October, the terror group published an article on its propaganda page stating that the sexual enslavement of captured Yazidis was justified because they are a 'pagan minority' 'Inside job': Dr Naik has claimed the then-President George W Bush was behind the September 11 attacks . Dr Naik's controversial comments have extended beyond sexual politics. In a July 2008 Peace TV broadcast he suggested that Al-Qaeda was not responsible for flying hijacked airliners into New York's World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, killing almost 3,000 people. 'Even a fool will know that this was an inside", "summary": "Dr Zakir Naik has also said George Bush was behind the 9/11 terror attacks . In 2010 he was banned from entering the UK for his inflammatory remarks . His edict on slaves echoes the doctrines of Iraq's Islamic State insurgency .

The Knoxville Baptist Tabernacle posted the controversial message, but took it down after experiencing some backlash. Before it was removed, the marquee read: 'Remember Satan was the first to demand equal rights.' Scroll down for video . The Knoxville Baptist Tabernacle posted the controversial message (pictured), but then took it down later . Many people felt the sign was meant to offend those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender . Pastor Tony Greene said the message on the marquee was 'not a statement against any one group in particular' After the message was posted, it began being shared on the Facebook and Twitter pages of WATE. Many people felt the sign was meant to offend individuals who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender, but the Tabernacle's pastor said that was not the case. Pastor Tony Greene said: 'Our sign referencing Satan demanding his equal rights to ascend into the heavens and be God was simply all about that individual. 'It was not a statement against any one group in particular, you know what about the rights of the unborn babies, the rights of children, the rights of everyone?' Some did not buy Greene's explanation. Andy Henry told WBIR: 'It's clearly a sign that was meant to offend a particular community - the LGBT community. 'Because of (the church's) lack of foresight, they ended up offending everybody who had ever fought for equality or civil rights in general.' The sign was changed to read: 'Glad you reading, did not intend to offend, we all need Christ.' Greene said: 'We are a diversity congregation of people. 'We've reached people that know us and know our stand in this community know what we've done. 'My heart breaks in the dividedness of our country.'

A carer who stole \u00a36,000 from a vulnerable woman and spent some of the money on Girls Aloud concert tickets has been jailed. Lisa Weare, from Blackpool, Lancashire, used the victim's bank card to withdraw money from her account and spent the money on gig tickets, mobile phone bills and textiles for a business she was setting up. The 32-year-old, who spent \u00a3500 on four Girls Aloud tickets, has now been jailed for 16 months after a judge told her she had 'let her employers and victim down'. The court heard how Weare was a carer for Fylde Community Link when the crimes took place over an eight-month period between July 2012 and March 2013. Kevin Slack, prosecuting, said the victim was unable to read or write, had no concept of the value of money and needed extensive help for day-to-day living. Part of her care was provided by Weare. He told the court that the victim, who has not been named, had two bank accounts and a locked tin that money would be placed into. There was supposed to be a clear audit trail where any movement of money in or out of the accounts or the tin would be recorded in a cash book and dated. However, one of the victim's three sisters noted small inconsistencies with the movement of the money, which she raised with the company and also at a safeguarding meeting towards the end of 2012. Mr Slack said that in February of the following year a community manager at the company noticed a number of discrepancies regarding the bank accounts. He said money withdrawn had not been recorded in the cash book, or on occasions a lower sum had been entered in the book, compared to the amount actually withdrawn. He said it became clear Weare had been responsible for the bank withdrawals and she was suspended. Further transactions were later discovered. Mr Slack said: 'The defendant bid \u00a3500 to buy four Girls Aloud concert tickets. This was in October of 2012. She paid for them in March, three days after she had been suspended. 'Again, the victim's bank card had been used.' Mr Slack added that a textile firm had been paid \u00a3175, using the victim's bank card, for 50 metres of organza cloth and there were also payments for mobile phone bills of \u00a3929. In total, \u00a36,254 was withdrawn from the bank accounts over the eight-month period, the court heard. Weare admitted theft and three counts of fraud at the hearing today.

The two tours did co-sanction one event on the 2014 schedule in Perth but any merger this time is likely to encompass a number of tournaments. Naturally, there will never be any serious competition between the European and PGA Tours in terms of the size of prize funds. In America, they give away $1million-plus first prizes every week and there\u2019s no matching that. But to young Americans with ambition, the addition of some seriously good Aussie events could act as a further incentive to follow the likes of Patrick Reed and the leading Europeans and sign up to enjoy the best of both worlds.

John Evans, a historian in the town, said: 'Star Wars has a global following and this is yet another great reason for tourists to come here. 'Pembroke Dock is a military town and we have people coming from far and wide to follow family footsteps, be it Navy, Army or Air Force. 'But there is also this incredible link to Star Wars which is almost a cult thing and a 21st century concept. 'People can still see the very building where the Millennium Falcon was made.' The photograph was taken by local man John Clark, a foreman with Marcon Fabrications, a heavy engineering firm that serviced the UK's petrochemical and oil industries. Work on the model (pictured) finished in 1979 and it was transported to film studios in Hertfordshire . Mr Clark recalled: 'One of the directors was in cahoots with someone with the studios or someone associated with the Star Wars films. 'I was very surprised that we'd gone that type of work because we built stuff for the oil industry and the offshore industry, but we got the contract. It was just a reasonable size team of workers that built all the framework. 'I was foreman on the job at the time.

Michael Gove is still in control of schools policy, despite being ousted from his job Education Secretary last summer, the Lib Dems have claimed. David Laws said the senior Tory still has a grip on shaping government policy on education, eight months after being shifted to become Chief Whip. The claims are a fresh blow for new Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, who last month angrily denied claims Mr Gove was receiving confidential documents from her department despite being sacked six months ago. Mr Gove was the architect of the Tories' education policies, but after clashing with teaching unions, officials and other Cabinet ministers he was shifted to the lower profile role of Chief Whip.

Mr Laws told the Independent: 'While Nicky Morgan's instincts are moderate, the people who control education policy in the Conservative Party are still Michael Gove, David Cameron and George Osborne. 'The face and language may have changed but the Tory policies haven't.' He added that there had been 'some pretty big rows' over initiatives such as a 2% pay rise for teachers and the Prime Minister's 500 free schools plan, both announced last week. He told the paper: 'In all of these areas, the block seemed to be outside the Department (for Education), not inside it. It is policy driven by an ideological approach rather than a calm appreciation of the facts and evidence.'

Responding to similar claims last month, Ms Morgan insisted that she is in charge of the department. She said: 'I just think that this is a complete load of nonsense.

These rules have now been changed during this parliament. Local residents and businesses will be able to demand a review of parking in their area, including charges and the use of yellow lines.

+{"article": "The Swedish driver's licence examiner has come under fire after asking students if it is 'a mitigating circumstance' if a woman is drunk during sexual assault. Learner drivers undergoing a compulsory theory course on drink-driving have been invited to discuss several rape scenarios where alcohol is involved. The organisation behind the material has defended the use of questions involving rape, saying it is intended to inspire discussion about using alcohol 'as an excuse when you do something stupid'. Anger: Sweden's driver's licence examiner asked learner drivers to discuss if it is 'an aggravating or mitigating circumstance' if a woman is drunk during a sexual assault (stock image) The theory booklet is used across Sweden for compulsory risk-assessment courses as part of the drivers licence theory exam, which mostly undertaken by 16 to 18-year-olds. Learner drivers are asked to discuss several scenarios where alcohol and drugs are involved, including two about rape with no relation to traffic or driving. The book asks: 'An intoxicated woman is raped by a man. When he is punished, is it an aggravating or mitigating circumstance that she was intoxicated?' It also described a similar rape-scenario where the male perpetrator is 'intoxicated' and whether that would be 'an aggravating or mitigating circumstance' in court. Linnea Risinger, 32, from Falun, Dalarna, spotted the questions during her course, and posted a picture of it on her Facebook. The two questions read: 'An intoxicated woman is raped by a man. When he is punished is it an aggravating or mitigating circumstance that she was intoxicated?,' and similarly 'An intoxicated man rapes a woman' Unrelated question: The questions were asked during a compulsory course which all learner drivers in Sweden must undergo in order to get their licence (stock image) The picture caused heated reactions, with many asking what the rape scenarios had to do with getting a driver's licence. Ms Risinger said she had been surprised to see the questions, especially as there could be victims of sexual assault forced to take part in discussions about rape in a context where they could not be expected to be prepared for them. 'Rape has nothing to do with a driver's licence,' Ms Risinger, a spokesperson for the local Green Party, told Aftonbladet. 'It is not okay that you should be forced to discuss during a compulsory course to get your licence. 'It is highly likely that there are boys and girls who take part in this course who are victims. They are there to get a driver's licence, not go to therapy.' However, The Swedish National Organisation for Driving Schools (Sveriges trafikskolors riksf\u00f6rbund) defends the use of the rape scenarios, saying it shines a light on the fact that alcohol is often used as an excuse when 'doing something stupid'. 'We want a discussion about taking responsibility for your actions, and that is the reason the questions are in there,' a representative told newspaper ETC.", "summary": "Swedish learner drivers asked about rape during compulsory course .

Scientists said that, in the average boy or girl with autism, genetics explain up to 98 per cent of the illness. The research, by King\u2019s College London, found the condition is highly inheritable. Controversial research linking autism with the MMR jab has been widely discredited, but more recent concern has focused on the condition being fuelled by environmental factors such as pollution. The team compared the behaviour of pairs of identical twins, who share all their DNA, and non-identical twins, who have only half their genes in common (file picture) With cases of autism much more common today than in the past, many fear it is also being caused by modern lifestyles. Estimates suggest that as many as one in 100 people in the UK now has autism. But the researchers said their study suggested that lifestyle and environmental factors were a distant second to genetics. The team compared the behaviour of pairs of identical twins, who share all their DNA, and non-identical twins, who have only half their genes in common. They found the condition was far more common in identical twins than in non-identical ones. The study, in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, concluded that rogue DNA explains between 74 and 98 per cent of the cause of the average case of autism. If genes are key, the recent rise in cases could be explained by more people being correctly diagnosed with the condition. Controversial research which linked autism with the MMR jab has now been widely discredited (file picture) Dr Francesca Happe told the BBC: \u2018Our findings suggest environmental factors are smaller, which is important because some parents are concerned whether things like high pollution might be causing autism. The main consensus now is that the rise in diagnosis has more to do with increased awareness of the condition.\u2019 Dr Judith Brown, of the National Autistic Society, said: \u2018Autism is a highly complex story of genes not only interacting with other genes, but with non-genetic factors too. \u2018This large population-based twin sample is significant because it helps us to understand much more about the role genetics play in autism and opens up the possibility of whole families gaining a better understanding of a condition they may share.\u2019 But she added: \u2018We are still a long way from knowing what leads to autism. \u2018What people with the condition, their families and carers need most of all is access now to the right kind of support to be able to lead full lives.\u2019 The study looked at 128 pairs of twins in which at least one sibling had an autism diagnosis, between the ages of 12 and 14. Lead researcher Beata Tick said: \u2018This study shows that the genes are very important and the increased rate of autism is more down to awareness than environmental factors.\u2019 Latest figures suggest more than one in 100 people in Britain has autism, including related conditions such as Asperger\u2019s syndrome.

Broadcasters should continue featuring children in their programmes, but they must take care that they are emotionally and mentally mature enough to cope with the public exposure, Ofcom said. \u2018Children form strong views and feelings from a very early age and these deserve to be seen and heard in programmes.

At a Monday board meeting, parents turned out to support Kourtney Glaser, the former vice principal at Comanche Springs Elementary School in the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District, who was placed on administrative leave after she experienced heavy vaginal bleeding that the school claims was caused by 'severe anxiety.' Glaser, 31, and her doctors, have firmly stated the bleeding, which occurred during a district training session and required Glaser to seek immediate medical attention, was the result of an intrauterine device being lodged in her uterine wall. This was just the beginning of the parents complaints as well, as they also voiced their concern over 'staff drinking,' the 'use of disparaging nicknames for teachers, parents and even children,' and a principal who has been reassigned after her 'bullying tactics.'

Once parents got wind of this news, many rallied behind Glasser, and seemed to place most of the blame on the principal, Katy Maurer (above in leopard print top) According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Glaser was forced to go to the emergency room on January 28 when she began suddenly bleeding, and two days later had her device removed to stop the trauma. She was not allowed to return to work however, and instead placed on leave after receiving a letter shortly after that said her bleeding had occurred on multiple occasions and was the result of 'severe anxiety.' On top of this, she was told she would need to see two doctors and sign a waiver releasing her medical records before she would be allowed to return to work. The letter also claimed she had trouble speaking in front of large groups, something Glasser denied in an interview with ABC 8. At this point, some parents at the school became aware of the situation, and seemed to place the blame on Katy Maurer, the principal of the school. The situation then became even further complicated when just last week Maurer filed a police report claiming she was being harassed by an employee at the school and her husband. The name of the employee was not released, but it was revealed to be someone who was on leave. In her report, Maurer claimed this employee had posted 'very hateful things' about her on social media, and that these posts had led to national attention.

As American fast food chains are forced to tackle the issues of healthy eating and using chemicals in their products, one woman's musings on the food industry are leading to sweeping changes. She is not a scientist, politician, policymaker or a trained nutritionist. Vani Hari is a food blogger. Her writing has earned her the nickname 'Food Babe' and a cult following which has enabled her to influence large companies such as Kraft and Subway to stop putting chemicals into their food. Hari, of Charlotte in North Carolina, left her job as a managerial consultant to become a blogger in 2011 and began writing down and posting tweets about her concerns that chemicals were being used by some of America's biggest food chains. Four years later she has been named one of the '30 most influential people on the internet' by Time magazine and has influenced changes, such as Subway removing chemicals from its flour, the New York Post reported. However she has been criticised by experts who say her lack of scientific knowledge means she often mixes up the names of chemicals and their impact - and some of her comments can be likened to 'fear mongering.' Hari's most successful campaign was persuading Subway to stop using ingredients containing azodicarbonamide - a chemical used to bleach and condition flour, which is also found in yoga mats. The 34-year-old started a campaign by dubbing the compound the 'yoga mat chemical', which paid off when Subway agreed to change its recipe. 'Subway had to respond to the media blitz. It went worldwide. I was interviewed everywhere,' she told the Post. 'Before my campaign no one in the world knew about azodicarbonamide.' Subway changed its recipe but later claimed it had been planning to do so anyway. Hari was also involved in persuading Kraft not to use yellow dyes in its 'three mac-and-cheeses' and has piled pressure on Starbucks, accusing the company of adding hazardous chemicals to its pumpkin lattes. Among Hari's triumphs in getting companies to change the way they use chemicals are Subway and Kraft . She has recently been campaigning for butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) not to be used in cereals as a preserving agent. Hari said she began to call for change, which is documented in her book The Food Babe Way, released in February, after she noticed the success of others who spoke up about their food concerns - such as 'the pink slime campaign' against lean finely textured beef, after it was featured on a Jamie Oliver show. However her work has been criticised for its lack of scientific accuracy and mistakes. Hari's book The Food Babe way was released in February and has been published on the back of her blog .

+{"article": "Evergreen Paul O'Connell can still scale new heights ahead of notching his 100th Ireland cap in Saturday's pivotal RBS 6 Nations showdown in Wales, according to Sean Cronin. Veteran lock O'Connell will equal Mick Galwey's record as Ireland's oldest captain of all time at exactly 35 years and 145 days at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday. The Munster talisman will become just the fourth star to hit 100 Tests for Ireland, joining Brian O'Driscoll, Ronan O'Gara and John Hayes in the century club. Sean Cronin believes veteran Paul O'Connell (above) still has a long career ahead of him . Leinster hooker Cronin hailed O'Connell's 'intensity and physicality' as the crux of Ireland's relentless pursuit of ever-higher standards under taskmaster boss Joe Schmidt. 'It's a phenomenal achievement: I think he's getting better with it even as the years go on,' said Cronin, as Ireland look to home in on a second Grand Slam in six years this weekend. 'But he's the kind of player that, whenever he's playing, he nearly makes you play better because that's the enthusiasm, the passion, the physicality that he brings. 'He kind of instils that in the players around him, it's great to play under him. 'He sets the standard and you've got to get up there with him. 'He'll demand it off you one way or another, so it's great to play with a person like that, because it raises your standards as well.' O'Connell will equal Mick Galwey's record as Ireland's oldest captain of all time on Saturday . O'Connell will stride past a multitude of milestones in Cardiff this weekend, as he aims to mark his 50th Six Nations performance by setting Ireland a new winning Test run of 11 matches. Wales and Scotland block Ireland's path to Grand Slam glory and a third career Six Nations crown for O'Connell. As the teams complete preparations in the Millennium Stadium's bowels this weekend, O'Connell will launch into a trademark tub-thumping team talk. Cronin acknowledged the legend around O'Connell bringing team-mates to tears with his unbridled pre-match passion - but admitted the Munster stalwart's rhetoric far more fearsome than emotive. The 35-year-old is put through his paces during an Ireland training session at the Kingspan Stadium . 'I've nipped out a couple of times to dot the eyes during his talks!' joked Cronin of myths O'Connell can invoke raw emotions. 'No, but seriously, he scares me more than makes me cry to be honest with you. 'He brings a certain level, you see him doing it, his intensity, physicality, attention to detail. 'So when you see him doing that, you're saying to yourself 'I need to get to that as well'. 'If 15 or 23 lads get to that level, we're hard to beat. 'He's similar to Joe (Schmidt) in some ways. 'Paul isn't going to get to the heights of Test rugby that he has without hard work and accuracy.

Supporters at the Bernabeu turned on Ancelotti even before Real's 4-3 defeat by Schalke had started, with the manager's name jeered as it was announced before kick-off. Bale was whistled at in the second half while goalkeeper Iker Casillas also bore the brunt of the discontent, more justifiably because he could have done more about Schalke's first two goals. When Casillas, as captain, summoned his team-mates into the centre-circle at the final whistle they went reluctant \u2014 Ronaldo more than most \u2014 but were met with more resounding boos and a show of white handkerchief protest.

Baljit Singh Bhandal bought and developed Updown Court, a 100-room mansion in Surrey, using the proceeds from money laundering and evading tax on alcohol sales. HM Revenue and Customs took control of the home as part of an investigation into his business - but his prosecution on fraud charges subsequently collapsed. However, today a High Court judge told him he was not entitled to compensation because it was 'beyond any reasonable doubt' that he was in fact guilty of the crimes he was accused of. Court case: Baljit Singh Bhandal, who built Updown Court, pictured, has lost his claim for compensation over the seizure of the property . Luxurious: The home was once the world's most expensive property when it went on sale for \u00a370million . Bhandal bought Updown Court in the 1990s, after it had been practically gutted by the Great Storm of 1987, and rebuilt the interiors in a lavish style. The home was raided by HMRC in 2001, after Bhandal was accused of smuggling duty-free alcohol out of the bonded warehouse where it was stored and selling it on the black market. He was taken to court, but the case collapsed when it emerged that the manager of the warehouse was a police informant. Bhandal jumped bail and left the country using a false passport during the failed trial, but on his return to the UK in 2005 he was jailed for eight years for attempted kidnap. In his latest legal struggle, he argued that HMRC owed him millions in compensation because he would have been able to develop and sell Updown Court if he had not been arrested and prosecuted on the fraud charges. Lavish: Updown Court, which sold for \u00a335million in 2011, is decorated throughout with marble interiors . Fraud: Bhandal lost his claim that the house, which boasts a bowling alley, was wrongly seized . Government lawyers insisted that he was guilty all along despite the collapse of the trial, saying: 'There was no acquittal on the merits and it was clear that massive fraud had been committed.' They claimed the seizure of the mansion was legitimate because it had been bought using the proceeds of crime. Mr Justice Collins today dismissed Bhandal's case, saying: 'I regarded him as a thoroughly unsatisfactory witness. 'I am satisfied beyond any reasonable doubt that he is guilty of the criminal conduct alleged against him and that Updown Court was acquired from the proceeds of crime.'

Catherine Olguin, a spokeswoman for the Boulder County District Attorney's Office, said prosecutors won't bring the charge in the baby's death, but she declined to say why or what charges Dynel Lane, 34, will face. Investigators say Lane lured Michelle Wilkins, 26, to her Longmont home March 18 with an ad on Craigslist offering baby clothes. Inside, police say, Lane attacked Wilkins and extracted her unborn baby girl. Scroll down for video . Dynel Lane (left) will not be charged with murder for cutting out the baby of expectant mom Michelle Wilkins (right) Wilkins had gone over to Lane's Longmont, Colorado home (above) on March 18 after responding to a CraigsList ad for baby clothes . Lane's husband found the infant in a bathtub and rushed the child to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Wilkins survived the attack and was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday. District Attorney Stan Garnett is expected to release more information Friday about the decision not to charge Lane with murder, and the coroner's office is expected to release the findings of an autopsy performed on the baby. The gruesome attack revived the highly-charged debate over when a fetus can legally be considered a human being. Even though the baby girl died, legal experts say the situation is complicated by the fact that Colorado is one of 12 states that do not have laws making the violent death of an unborn child a homicide. State legislators in 2013 voted down such a measure over fears it would interfere with abortion rights, and voters overwhelmingly agreed when they rejected a similar ballot measure in 2014. Advocates say the attack shows the need for a fetal homicide law. Naomi Garcia, 11, holds a sign in the direction of passing cars during a protest against Dynel Lane . Legal experts say a person can still be charged with homicide for an unborn child's death under existing Colorado law if the baby was alive outside the mother's body and the act that led to its death also occurred there. After rejecting a fetal homicide law in 2013, Colorado legislators did pass a measure that makes it a felony to violently cause the death of a mother's fetus. The maximum punishment under that provision is 32 years in prison. The maximum punishment for homicide in Colorado is the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.

However, the girl told investigators plans were changed at late notice and Scully tried to sell her to a German man for the equivalent of $2924 instead, The Age reports. Peter Gerard Scully alleged operated an international paedophile ring that served Australian clients, according to AFP investigators. Scully's alleged crimes are so heinous they have led to renewed calls to reintroduce the death penalty. Videos seized in the Philippines last week allegedly show the 13-year-old girl being forced to perform lewd acts with a baby aged one and girl toddler aged five, according to investigators. The videos shows whipping and torture along with other horrific acts, and was described by police as the most shocking child pornography that has ever been discovered in the Philippines. His alleged victim was also forced to call him 'Uncle Peter' and started working for him, after he had promised to cover her schooling costs. 'Because (he) pay a big amount that's why I had to do that,' the girl said. It is claimed Scully abused more than a dozen children in the three years he was in the Philippines, during which time he moved house frequently and assembled a team of more than four foreign accomplices and half a dozen Filipino workers in a lucrative 'pay for view' online child pornography business. Peter Gerald Scully (right) was arrested for human trafficking and child porn-related offences arising from his alleged sexual abuse of Filipino girls which was filmed and then posted online for paying clients .

The 37-year-old Sydney mother-of-four, who was born into a Lebanese family, has been selling and making dresses in Australia for the past 12 years and consistently feels discriminated against due to her cultural attire. On Tuesday, while debuting her first ready-to-wear evening clothing line called Roxcii, Frida made her entrance on to the catwalk wearing a controversial T-shirt emblazoned with the logo: 'I'm a fashion threat, not a terror threat,' aimed at silencing her critics. Scroll down for video . 37-year-old fashion designer Frida Deguise (pictured) has hit back at racism in the fashion industry by wearing this T-shirt at her fashion show . Frida said she made the fashion statement to show her fellow designers that she 'has a good eye for fashion' and isn't a terror threat just because she wears a hijab. 'I was sick of the pretentiousness within the fashion industry towards Muslim dress designers,' Frida told Daily Mail Australia. 'I put on that T-shirt because when people see me they always say \"so do you make pretty scarves?\". Because I'm Muslim, they think all I do is Islamic wear.' On the night of her fashion show, one of the designers who was showcasing their collection asked her if she had any strapless gowns in her show, or if all of her dresses were covered up. The Muslim designer says she is constantly discriminated against due to her clothing and believes she should be judged on her talent . Her new clothing collection showcases her designs and she says people were shocked that a Muslim woman could design these dresses . Gobsmacked at the audacity of his question, Frida told him: 'You have to be half-naked to wear my collection'. Minutes later as her models walked out onto the catwalk showing off her beautiful designs, Frida said he couldn't believe she could actually design and create elegant gowns that show skin and legs. 'You've got to look the part in fashion, you've got to have the body you've got to look good,' she said. 'One of my teachers from Ultimo introduced me to somebody on the night of the show and he said \"This is Frida, she has a collection tonight, she\u2019s a fashion designer, you wouldn't think so would you?\".'

Driving into a retail park after 6pm is now a crime under a raft of 'bizarre' new Victorian-style by-laws introduced by councils. Playing music, skateboarding, drinking alcohol in public and even selling lucky heather are among the activities outlawed by local authorities across the country in a drive to restrict freedom, say critics. A group which campaigns against excessive regulation said the measures introduced in the 2014 Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act had created a 'patchwork of criminal law'. Under Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs), an activity that is illegal in one street may not be in the next \u2013 creating confusion, the Manifesto Club has claimed. But councils say the orders, which allow them to target anti-social behaviour at a local level, have widespread public support. The orders, a form of Asbo, were first used in December when council chiefs made it a crime for motorists to enter a retail park between 6pm and 6am unless they were using shops or restaurants. The aim was to ban up to 500 boy racers who used the Turner Rise Retail Park in Colchester as a meeting place. Ministers insist the orders are intended to clamp down on anti-social behaviour, such as spitting and aggressive begging. But some councils are also planning to apply them to the likes of pigeon feeding, 'nuisance parking' and children playing ball games outside schools. Town Hall chiefs in Blackpool want to ban loitering around cash machines and the sale of lucky charms and heather. In Oxford it is now a crime to enter a tower block if you are under the age of 21 unless you live there or are visiting a resident. Council bosses are also trying to ban pigeon feeding and taking your dog off their lead. Playing music, skateboarding and drinking alcohol in public are among the activities outlawed . Anybody flouting the orders will be liable for a fine, normally ranging from \u00a370 to \u00a3100, issued by a police officer, police community support officer, council worker or private security guard employed by the local Town Hall. A Home Office spokesman said: 'Public Spaces Protection Orders ensure that public spaces are not affected by anti-social behaviour so law-abiding people can enjoy them.' But Josie Appleton, director of the Manifesto Club, said: 'These powers are so broad that they allow councils to ban pretty much anything. 'The result is a patchwork of criminal law where something is illegal in one street but not the next. This makes it hard for the public to know what is criminal and what is not. 'These orders will turn towns into no-go zones for homeless people, old ladies feeding pigeons, or anyone else the council views as 'messy' \u2013 a return to the meddling and moralism of 19th-century by-laws.' People caught urinating in the streets will have to clean up the mess themselves as part of a groundbreaking new scheme. Instead of being given a fine and facing a court", "summary": "Raft of 'bizarre' Victorian-style by-laws have been introduced by councils .

Walker went into his final round with four-shot lead and managed to preserve his advantage . Walker birdied the par-five second when he laid up short of the green, pitched on and holed a straight eight-foot putt - though he gave the shot back at the fourth. Another bogey at the seventh was off-set as he pitched stone-dead from an awkward bunker stance at the next, and he birdied 10 as well before dropping a shot at 12.

Instead, the San Antonio resident struck a lovely pin-high tee shot and read the left-to-right break to perfection on the ensuing 16-foot putt. His birdie was matched by Spieth but the four-shot margin remained and despite a poor tee shot, Walker also birdied the penultimate hole with a good putt from 18 feet. Spieth did likewise and both parred the last to leave Walker as the tour's first repeat winner this season. He told NBC: 'It's at home and it's cool, you can feel support of friends, family and fans. It doesn't happen often, to win in your home town. 'It played hard today, sometimes it's hard to make pars. I wasn't putting very good but I finally got the putting stroke smoothed out and holed a couple. 'And Jordan... holy cow! I'll be having nightmares about that guy!'

So often the 33-year-old\u2019s own innings sets the tempo of the Black Caps innings and on Sunday it was no different. Having come out swinging and twice been beaten, McCullum was bowled for a duck by a full, in-swinging Starc delivery that cannoned into off-stump.

It was the perfect start for Australia and Clarke remained on the attack with two new New Zealand batsman at the crease.

Last November the home secretary, Theresa May, described the widespread scale of abuse as 'shocking'. Paul Broadbent, chief executive of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority, said that trafficking human beings for labour exploitation offered high profits while the risk of prosecution was fairly low. The authority is currently investigating 300 gang leaders suspected of trafficking foreign workers, although it's feared the number of could be much higher. Anyone found supplying illegal workers can be jailed for up to ten years and fined, while people employing from an unlicensed gang leader can be fined and jailed for a year. But Mr Broatbent critcised the sentences which had been handed out to those convicted of using modern day slaves. The report for the Centre of Social Justice found that law enforcement had left an 'open goal' for organised crime to build up around immigration. This had led to crime syndicates using fake universities, sham marriages, forged documents and a network of solicitors and accounts to illegally traffic people. Once in the UK, the victims, many of whom were from the European Union, were trapped in 'debt bondage'. The gangs would claims their victims owed them for their travel fee and documents and would force them to work by deducting money for food and accommodation. Mr Broadbent told The Times: 'Slavery was abolished 200 years ago but it's alive and thriving in the UK,' he added. 'People are being forced to work against their will. 'There are physical threats and intimidation as well as psychological abuse. It's systematic coercion and control.'

A trusted church treasurer who stole \u00a320,000 from a renovation pot to fund his gambling habit has narrowly avoided jail. Mark Conway-Wilcox, 30, of Newbiggin Hall, Newcastle, admitted four counts of theft after stealing from St Wilfrid's Church's - but claimed the amount he had taken was closer to \u00a315,000. Yesterday he was branded 'unchristian' for leaving the Newcastle church on the brink of closure after stealing the money and blowing it on gambling. Newcastle Crown Court heard Conway-Wilcox also failed to pay various bills, had creditors chasing the church and even left it potentially uninsured. The court heard Conway-Wilcox became treasurer at St Wilfrid's in May 2013 and was responsible for making sure money was put in the bank and invoices were paid. After receiving complaints about unpaid bills Reverend Sarah Miller initially gave Conway-Wilcox the benefit of the doubt. But matters came to a head in May last year when Ecclesiastical Insurance rang up and told her they had not been paid and that the church and its contents were potentially uninsured. An investigation began and it was discovered Conway-Wilcox had transferred \u00a310,098 from the church's refurbishment account into his own between November 2013 and May 2014. A further \u00a3550 had been moved from church bank accounts to his account and Conway-Wilcox failed to bank more than \u00a310,000 in cheques. Prosecutor Kevin Wardlaw told the court the total amount misappropriated was \u00a320,856.78. The church has since been paid back \u00a310,000 by the insurance company. St Wilfrid's Church in Newbiggin Hall, Newcastle, was left in danger of closure after Conway-Wilcox failed to pay various bills, had creditors chasing the church and even left it potentially uninsured . Paul Caulfield, defending, told the court: 'He had a horrendous gambling problem, referred himself for help and has attended 20 sessions. 'Since this matter came to light he has not been involved in gambling. 'He is mortified by his conduct and apologises publicly, having apologised privately previously.' Recorder Nicholas Lumley QC told Conway-Wilcox: 'This church serves one of this great city's less fortunate areas and it has a small but committed congregation. 'The church, its fabric and its good work was placed in jeopardy by you. 'And why? Well, because of your greed. You saw them as a soft target and a ready source of cash for your own frailties and you plundered what money they had. 'You took advantage of your position of trust by stealing from various bank accounts and when it was queried you stalled, prevaricated and lied. 'Not only is it unchristian it is thoroughly dishonest.' Newcastle Crown Court heard Conway-Wilcox left the Newcastle church on the brink of closure . Martin Sheppard, of the Diocese of Newcastle, said: 'It's been a very sad story for Martin, for his family and the church family at Newbiggin Hall.

+{"article": "Take a look at the amount of fuel for star formation in the universe, compared to the number of stars, and you'll notice something strange - there should be 10 times as many stars as there are. It's a problem that has perplexed scientists, but now a study claims to have an answer, saying that the heat in star-forming clouds may be hindering stellar formation. They say that the temperatures are likely too hot to allow reasonable amounts of star formation, which leads to the observed lower number of stars we see in the cosmos today. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Michigan State University have proposed a new theory for the lack of stars. Based on the amount of stellar fuel there should be 10 times as many. But the reason is because temperatures stop them forming. The Hubble Ultra Deep Field image is shown here . For a star to form, it relies on a cloud of gas to cool sufficiently so that it can gather into the large mass required for stellar formation. In particular, intracluster gas - that near the centre of a galaxy cluster - is normally a prime region for stellar formation. But just a handful of stars in are born every year in some galaxies, despite an abundance of this gas, so there must be something hindering the gas from cooling and forming stars. Last month astronomers discovered stars forming in a remote region of the Milky Way not thought possible before. The stars were seen in a cloud of molecular gas 16,000 light-years below the flattened disc of our galaxy - further than any others ever seen. And if any planets were to form around these stars, inhabitants would see the entire glory of the spiral galaxy above them in their night sky. The amazing discovery - led by Dr Denilso Camargo of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil - marks the first time that star-forming clusters that are part of the Milky Way have been found this far from our galaxy. \u2018This is the first time astronomers have found stars being born in such a remote location,\u2019 said Dr Camargo. \u2018Our work shows that the space around the galaxy is a lot less empty than we thought.\u2019 'The amount of fuel for star formation outpaces the amount of stars 10 times, so these clusters should be really star-rich,' said Dr Michael McDonald, a Hubble Fellow in Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. 'You really need some mechanism to prevent gas from cooling, otherwise the universe would have 10 times as many stars.' The theory proposed by the researchers from MIT and Michigan State University suggests a number of reasons for why this is so. For some galaxy clusters, the researchers say, the intracluster gas may simply be too hot - on the order of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius. Even if one region experiences some cooling, the intensity of the surrounding heat would keep that region from cooling", "summary": "Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Michigan State University have proposed a new theory for the lack of stars .

Lynsey Littlefield has been a bridesmaid an astonishing seven times - and tied the knot herself in 2007. The in-demand bridesmaid from Brighton, East Sussex, has been part of a wedding party so often she has joked about advertising her services as a 'bridesmaid for hire'. The start: Lynsey Littlefield pictured the first time she was a bridesmaid in 2000 at her brother's wedding .

Each time she's walked with a friend or relative down the aisle she's been at a different stage in her own love life. She's been a 20-something single bridesmaid, an engaged bridesmaid, a married bridesmaid, and a pregnant bridesmaid over the years. Lynsey, who married Daniel, 40, in Ibiza in 2007, said all her experiences have made her one of the best bridesmaids to have. Speaking to celebrate National Bridesmaids' Day today, Lynsey said: 'I feel that as a bridesmaid you definitely evolve and become better at it. Now I am thinking I might hire my services out. 'Each time I help organise the hen party from an 80s'-themed hen do to a Strictly Come Dancing party.

'I worked out I had spent around \u00a35,080 over the years attending hen parties \u2013 not including my own. 'Then there is the cost of the weddings. For each one I spend about \u00a350 on the present, \u00a370 on an outfit, \u00a3150 on travel and accommodation and if there is a paying bar an extra \u00a350. I would say I spend around \u00a3200 per wedding. 'But I don't mind. I have to budget but I love watching people get married.' Lynsey was first asked to be bridesmaid in 2000 when she celebrated her brother Gary's marriage to Isabel. She recalls: 'I was honoured when I was asked by Gary and his then-fiancee Isabel to be a bridesmaid,' she said. 'I didn't know it was just the start.

Morbidly obese Steve Austin, of Croydon, systematically withdrew \u00a32,500 from the account of his grandfather Stanley Taylor. Austin even demanded Mr Taylor, who had brought him up from the age of 12 , give him more cash after the bank was notified by what had happened and gave the 90-year-old a refund. Austin threatened the pensioner that, if he refused to hand over cash, he would not see his great-grandchildren. Steve Austin withdrew almost all of his grandfather's life savings, leaving him with just \u00a38.79, Southwark Crown Court heard. Austin even demanded more cash when the bank refunded the 90-year-old's money . The 39-year-old was jailed for six months after he admitted one charge of fraud. A judge said he had 'abused' the trust of his family. Southwark Crown Court heard that Mr Taylor's health has deteriorated since the incident and he was struggling to cope with the break-up of his family caused by Austin's theft. The court heard that Austin had withdrawn the cash in \u00a3100 to \u00a3250 amounts between 1 October 2013 and 28 October that year.

Tanya Roberts, prosecuting, told the court: \u2018Mr Taylor and his daughter suspected that it was Steve Austin, his grandson, who had taken the money and the reason that was thought was because Mr Austin took money before. \u2018They paid a visit to Mr Austin and he admitted to them he had taken his grandfather\u2019s bank card and money and spent it on drugs.\u2019 Austin then tried to persuade his grandfather not to report him to the police.

Hunt accepted the blame for his actions and apologised to his team and to fans of the game. 'I made a terrible mistake last year and have no one but myself to blame for this situation,' Hunt said in a statement issued this afternoon.

'He'll be paying for those choices for the rest of his life,' Mr McDougall said. 'He has suffered significant economic loss....it's an enormous economic loss. 'This has been a massive, massive wake-up call to him.' ARU boss Bill Pulver expressed his disappointment with Hunt, but said the sport will stand behind the embattled player. 'Illicit substances have no place in Rugby,' Mr Pulver said in a statement. 'However we acknowledge that he is sincerely remorseful and has cooperated with the investigation and our integrity enquiries throughout this process. Karmichael has also accepted the penalty and consequences of his actions and understands the requirements of a professional athlete and the expectations of our code.'

In fact as well as gold, faeces contains platinum, silver and other metals along with rare elements such as palladium and vanadium. Researchers now hope to 'mine' sewage reducing the need to mine raw metals from the ground, while reducing pollution by recycling human waste. Scientists have discovered a literal goldmine of precious metals in human poo.The US researchers are investigating ways of flushing out the valuable minerals, including gold, silver and rare elements such as palladium and vanadium. Pictured are microscopic gold-rich and lead-rich particles in human waste . Taking a lesson from industrial mining, the scientists are experimenting with chemicals called leachates that are used to pull metals out of rock. Some of these chemicals have a bad reputation for damaging ecosystems when they leak or spill into the environment. But in controlled conditions, they could safely be used to recover metals from treated solid waste, Dr Smith claims. In the treated waste researchers already started to discover metals like platinum, silver and gold observing microscopic-sized metal particles in biosolids. Previous research estimated the waste from one million Americans could contain as much as $12 million (\u00a38.7 million) worth of metals. In 1999 the UK produced over 1,130,000 tonnes of sludge dry solids, which averages to about 20kg generated by each person. If Britain's waste was mined it could be worth $762 million (\u00a3510 million) a year. Dr Kathleen Smith of the US Geological Survey said: 'If you can get rid of some of the nuisance metals that currently limit how much of these biosolids we can use on fields and forests, and at the same time recover valuable metals and other elements, that's a win-win. 'There are metals everywhere. They are in your hair care products, detergents, even nanoparticles that are put in socks to prevent bad odours.' Yet all end up at the sewage works and many metals end up in the leftover solid waste. At treatment plants, wastewater goes through a series of physical, biological and chemical processes and the end products are treated water and biosolids. In the US alone seven million tons are leftover each year with half used as fertiliser on fields and in forests and the other half incinerated or sent to landfills. Dr Smith added: 'We have a two-pronged approach. 'In one part of the study, we are looking at removing some regulated metals from the biosolids that limit their use for land application. If Britain's waste was mined it could be worth $762 million (\u00a3510 million) a year. Previous research estimated the waste from one million Americans could contain as much as $12 million (\u00a38.7 million) worth of metals.

A 22-year-old Saudi student was caught driving through Hyde Park in his father's custom made McLaren supercar, after he had been smoking cannabis in the early hours. Mohammad Al-Sharif was stopped by police as he drove through the London park and confessed to having taken drugs at 7.30am that morning, when officers found he was unsteady on his feet and slurring his words. The 22-year-old had been driving his father's limited edition McLaren car, which is worth around \u00a3168,500. The supercar, which goes from 0mph to 60mph in 2.8 seconds had been given a makeover to make it even more powerful. It was also a previous winner of 'best supercar' in the Middle East's Car of the Year awards. Business student Al-Sharif, who lives off a family allowance, admitted driving while in unfit through drugs and was fined \u00a3400. He was also disqualified from driving for a year. Hammersmith Magistrates' Court heard that he was stopped at about 10.40am on December 11 last year because he was seen driving 'erratically.' Mr Gill said: 'He was spoken to and there was a strong smell of cannabis coming from the car, he was the sole occupier. 'He was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred when he spoke and he appeared intoxicated. 'He was asked if he had been smoking cannabis and said he had at 7.30 that morning. 'He was arrested and taken to Paddington Green Police Station and searched and a small amount of cannabis was found that he admitted was his.' A blood test found Al-Sharif had used cannabis and another drug, which is believed to have been prescription drugs. He was found to be driving on a Saudi Arabia-issued International Driving Licence, which ironically was not valid in his home country. Al-Sharif had been driving the supercar, which had been modified to make it even more powerful . Al-Sharif admitted having taken cannabis when he was stopped by police who spotted his 'erratic driving' The car, which belongs to his father, had been extensively modified to make it even more powerful. Al-Sharif denied the claim his driving was 'erratic', the court heard. He had been studying in London since 2012, attending Birkbeck College, the London School of Business and Finance to improve his English and career prospects in the finance sector. He has no income and survives with the financial support from his family in Saudi Arabia. Al-Sharif was spotted driving a McLaren MP4-12c 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8 Velocita Wind Edition.

The research reveals that the eruption would have sent debris across an area the size of Scotland on the lunar surface. And the team are going to use their same technique to map the eruption of the largest known volcano in the solar system: Olympus Mons on Mars. Research led by Durham University studied a lunar volcanic eruption. The team found that the eruption was much bigger than was thought. It erupted 3.5 billion years ago (illustration of Earth from around this time with the moon shown) and covered a Scotland-sized area in debris. This was thanks to the low gravity of the moon . The findings were led by experts in the Institute for Computational Cosmology and Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University, UK. They found that the eruption threw rock five times further than the flow of rock and gas that buried the Roman city of Pompeii. Although the moon was already known to be volcanically active during this time, the size and scale of this particular eruption was surprising. Scientists believe there is a huge network of tunnels that exist beneath the lunar surface. The volcanic structures, known as 'lava tubes', have previously been proposed as sites for human colonies on the moon. Now a study by Purdue University has claimed that tubes 0.6 miles (1km) in diameter could be stable enough to house permanent bases beneath the surface. Researchers believe that these lava tubes could help protect future astronauts against the challenges of the harsh lunar environment, which lacks a thick atmosphere. The volcano is located between two craters on the far side of the moon, Bel'kovich - which is 133 miles (214km) wide - and Compton - which is 101 miles (162km) wide. With the help of the moon's low gravity, debris from the eruption spread over an area of 27,000 square miles (70,000 square kilometres). Nasa's Lunar Prospector spacecraft first spotted the volcanic site in 1999 by detecting an isolated deposit of thorium - which is associated with volcanic activity. Since its discovery, the deposit had been hard to study because it is hidden beneath debris from meteorite impacts. But the Lunar Prospector was also able to detect gamma rays emitted by the thorium that can pass through up to 3.3 feet (one metre) of rock. Based on this information, the Durham-led team used a 'pixon' image enhancement technique, originally designed to peer into the distant universe, to sharpen the map and reveal the enormous size of the thorium deposit from the volcanic eruption. In this artist's impression, the red region is the volcanic complex, and measures 22 miles (35km) in diameter. The green area shows where debris from the eruption went, spreading 185 miles (300km) east .

Amanda Swager, born Michael, grew up as a boy, but learned as an adult that she was actually genetically female and began transitioning . She had originally planned to start teaching as a woman after the summer holidays, but that timetable had to be brought forward after being outed over the weekend while on date. 'I was in a movie theater with my boyfriend, and some students walk in and start shooting pictures of me in a movie theater,' she told KCAL9. After discussing the situation with the school district, it was decided that Swager should adopt her new identity immediately. Swager considered her gender very much a personal matter and so the decision was taken to notify only students in her class and their parents, rather than making a blanket announcement to everyone. 'We decided as a district, as a faculty, that it would do more harm than good to do a mass notification,' Swager told NBC4. 'Instead do individual notifications in classrooms where they knew what to expect.' The district's handling of the matter and Swager sudden change have come in for criticism from some parents who say they support the teacher but feel they should have been notified so they could speak to their kids about it. The Chino Valley Unified School District have updated information of their website about Swager after the decision was taken that she would transition to a woman sooner than originally planned . 'On a Friday he was a man, on Monday he was woman,' said one parent. 'This probably brought or is going to bring disruption in the classroom because all these questions need to be answered,' said another, who identified himself as Rusty. 'They're going to want to know why did the teacher did what he did.' Students interviewed seem less concerned. 'If it's what she wants to do, I mean, I'm not going to judge.

But a report hints that the South Korean firm is already working on its next-level displays for a fully foldable smartphone. Unlike the curved models available now, such as the S6 Edge and LG\u2019s Flex 2, Samsung's Galaxy S7 could be flexible and bendy. A report hints that a fully foldable smartphone by Samsung could be ready as soon as next year. This image shows prototype curved screens unveiled last year . A spokesman for Samsung Display told Business Korea: \u2018The industry believes that the commercialisation of foldable smartphones will be possible in 2016.\u2019 A number of the curved screens, including those created by LG and Samsung, use high molecular substance-based polyimide film. This forms the backplane of the flexible panel and is used as an alternative to plastic. The material makes it possible to achieve the maximum curvature radius, which in Semiconductor Energy Laboratroy's display is 0.7-inches (2mm). Polyimide film also helped reduce the thickness of the panel to significantly improve its flexibility. However, until other components such as batteries and processors are made to be flexible too, the dream of a roll-up smartphone will remain on the horizon. It is not only smartphones set to get the flexible treatment, as bendy displays could have many uses, such as in smartbands and laptops, for example. A spokesman from the industry said: \u2018When flexible display technology is being used in e-books and laptops, which are substituted for publications, the concept of tiny portable PCs and e-books will be realised in reality.\u2019 Rumours that Samsung was working on a bendable and virtually unbreakable version of its Galaxy handset first surfaced in 2012.

The foldable display is made of layers of lights using organic light emitting diodes (OLED). It features touch sensors, meaning it works as a touchscreen at all angles and curvatures, and was demonstrated at the Display Innovation exhibition in Yokohama. In July, LG unveiled an 18-inch screen that can be rolled up and it hopes to expand the technology to work with 60-inch displays in the future. Earlier this month, Samsung revealed its next generation of Galaxy phones, including the Galaxy S6 Edge, which features a curved 5.1 inch display. On the S6 Edge, notifications appear on either the right or left-hand side, depending on which hand the owner uses. Up to five contacts can be programmed to appear on this edge, and each contact is assigned a colour.

Erik Johansson, 30, who is based in Berlin, Germany, says he doesn\u2019t capture moments, but instead captures ideas. He takes mundane scenarios, including houses, cars and streets and transforms them into optical illusions, which he describes as, 'surreal ideas realised in a realistic way with a touch of humour'. Scroll down for video . Swedish photographer, artist, and Photoshop genius, Erik Johansson, has created mind-boggling photos like this inside-out house that look different on each glance. In this image called The Architect the subject seems to be both inside and outside the house . Erik, born in Gotene, Sweden, who aims to challenge and perplex the viewer, uses his artistry to confuse people who look at his work. From cars seemingly driving upside-down on bridges to spaces that, at a glance, appear to be a bedroom and then suddenly look like a field, his work is challenging, clever and full of subtle detail. Erik explains that he wants his work to evoke a problem-solving approach. Although one photo can consist of hundreds of different images merged into one, he always wants it to look like it could have snapped by a camera. He said: 'It\u2019s the challenge: can I put this very weird idea in a photograph and make it look like it was just captured?' In a series of behind-the-scenes videos he gives an insight into his painstaking method. To make Landfall, a work of visual trickery that looks as though green fields - rather than water - are pouring over a cliff edge, he layered 235 separate images. He photographed the fields to provide the backdrop, then built a scale model of a house and landscape out of cardboard, which he covered in gloopy green paint and shot. He takes mundane scenarios and gives them a more interesting edge by flipping them on their head, like in Landfall . In Brain Games, a man is seen pulling aside the night sky as he would a curtain to reveal the dawn and green landscape before him . Using Photoshop, he turned the running paint into rolling fields and superimposed a photograph of a house on to the cardboard model, adding a photo of a water wheel to complete the fantastical and dramatic shot of a dreamy, bucolic landscape that seems to be falling over a cliff. On his website he writes: 'I get inspiration from all things around me. Anything from things I see in my daily life to other artist\u2019s work and photography. I think it\u2019s a lot about looking at the world from a different perspective. 'I think I get more inspiration from paintings rather than photos. But there are tons of inspiration online.

According to local news site DNAinfo, Jane Hsu, who is the principal at P.S. 116 in Kips Bay, Manhattan, sent a letter home to the parents of all Pre-K through fifth grade students informing them that the school's teachers would no longer be assigning work for the children to do outside of school hours. She suggested that her students' time would be better spent focusing on other, more enjoyable, activities such as playing video games, watching TV or spending time outside. Scroll down for video . Putting her foot down: P.S. 116 principal Jane Hsu (left), pictured with assistant principal Gary Shevell, has banned homework for pupils at her school . 'The topic of homework has received a lot of attention lately, and the negative effects of homework have been well established,' Ms Hsu explained to parents in the letter. 'They include: children's frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and, sadly for many, loss of interest in learning.' Ms Hsu added that she was 'excited that we are redefining the landscape of homework', before going on to explain that she didn't believe she was 'eliminating' homework, but rather adjusting the expectations of both her parents and her pupils in terms of what that phrase means. But while her students are no doubt delighted at the news, their parents are less enthused by the school's decision. 'I was just thinking maybe I'll keep my daughter here for another year, but this pushed me over the edge,' Daniel Tasman, the father of a second grade pupil at the school, told DNAinfo. 'This is their time to learn now, when they have good memory,' said Stanley, the parent of a third grade pupil at P.S. 116. 'I give him extra work, though. I go to Barnes and Nobles and give him my own homework.' Ironically, the school's mission statement - which available on its website - states clearly that pupils are expected to 'achieve high academic standards' and to 'take responsibility for their own learning'. Homework-free zone: Parents of the school's students are angry at Ms Hsu's decision, with one father going as far as to say he would pull his daughter from her class .

'They are active participants and every child has a responsibility not just to perform a task, but to do it to the best of her or his ability.'

Many feel Annie Power will complete the victory parade with her coronation in the OLBG Mares\u2019 Hurdle, but she will be priced prohibitively to do so and her task may not be as straightforward as it seems after a year\u2019s absence. Douvan is the first of Willie Mullins battalion to race at Cheltenham on Tuesday . Of the quartet, Faugheen arguably faces the most competition with last year\u2019s winner Jezki and The New One, an unlucky third following an interrupted passage, in opposition along with National Hunt legend Hurricane Fly. However, Faugheen\u2019s potential is as yet untapped, whereas the level his rivals have reached is known \u2014 albeit a lofty standard. The selection destroyed the opposition in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton with the form receiving a boost when third-home Blue Heron, beaten 17 lengths by Faugheen, hammered Irving at Wincanton in Grade Two company. That performance poured scorn on the theory Faugheen has beaten nothing in his unbeaten eight-race hurdling career, although it is worth noting he also boasts a 22-length mauling of Josses Hill in a Punchestown bumper and a 12-length demolition of the talented Valseur Lido on his record. Fuagheen, pictured on Monday, faces tough competition from last year's winner Jezki and The New One . In short, the son of Germany could prove to be a class apart, especially if The New One continues to drift right at his hurdles, a habit which threatens his hopes of becoming a champion. Jezki is solid and comes to himself at this time of year on spring ground, but his limitations have been somewhat exposed by Hurricane Fly in Ireland this winter and he remains vulnerable to an emerging talent like Faugheen. Hurricane Fly has been done few favours by the drying ground, but the third of Mullins\u2019 representatives, Arctic Fire, could sneak into the places.

As his side left McDiarmid Park with three points in the bag in the middle of last month, the Norwegian thought it best to grant his players a day off to clear their minds before the small matter of Inter Milan at Celtic Park demanded their full focus. By the time the squad reassembled at Lennoxtown on Monday morning, though, their numbers were depleted by one. Anthony Stokes, a native of Dublin, had failed to make his scheduled flight back to Glasgow after returning home for a family visit. Anthony Stokes missed Celtic's big game with Inter last month, but is keen to make the most of the next one . Whether or not Stokes would have featured against the Italians was beside the point. His absence left Deila with no option but to banish him from what was left of the build-up. An unnecessary distraction, if ever there was one. For those lucky enough to witness the pulsating 3-3 draw that ensued, a sense of bewilderment as to why someone would jeopardise the chance to live out their boyhood dream was compounded by the fact that Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven had only recently put further pressure on the Irishman\u2019s position. Yet, if there is a sense of deep regret from the player regarding what transpired, he\u2019s doing a mighty fine job of hiding it. In his eyes, neither a private apology nor a public explanation were warranted. Only a need to hastily draw a line under the affair. Asked if he regretted what happened, Stokes replied: \u2018No. Look the situation has been dealt with. It\u2019s as simple as that. I\u2019ve spoken to the gaffer about it and there\u2019s no issue now.\u2019 Stokes has been battling for his place in the side since failing to return to Celtic on time before the Inter game . Had he apologised to Deila over what had taken place? \u2018No,\u2019 he repeated. \u2018Look, I said I spoke to the gaffer about everything and that\u2019s it \u2013 it\u2019s been dealt with. It\u2019s done.\u2019 So what actually happened? \u2018There\u2019s nothing. It\u2019s dealt with,\u2019 he said. But it must have been tough to sit such a huge game out? \u2018It was difficult,\u2019 he admitted. \u2018It\u2019s difficult for me to miss any game as I want to play every minute of them.\u2019 Try as he might to consign the matter to history, Stokes is going to have to go some way to erase it from the minds of his manager and the supporters who pay his wages. Deila initially left him out of the squad for the subsequent game with Aberdeen but 59 minutes against St Johnstone and 64 minutes against Dundee United on Sunday did at least suggest he\u2019s now edging off the naughty step.

Fugitive Simon Hennessey, 50, mutilated his elderly aunt in a frenzied attack. Hennessey was just 14 when he was convicted of knifing Mary Webber, 72, to death after stabbing her more than 70 times in her Plymouth home. At the time, he became the youngest person in British legal history to be sentenced to life in a secure mental health unit. He had served 20 years of a life sentence for manslaughter, when he walked out of Leyhill Open Prison in south Gloucestershire just before Christmas in 1998.

Hennessey was detained in Queensland in summer 2013, but for weeks officers did not realise that he was a wanted killer in Britain.

Robert Jeffery, 44, was in a head-on collision with a vehicle in 2005 and thrown from the flat-bed truck he was driving. He has been in permanent care ever since and struggles to retain information. He has never held a passport. Hennessey was jailed for five and a half years for fraud after the scam unraveled. As soon as he was eligible for parole, the Australian authorities deported him back to the UK. He was arrested on his return and charged with evading lawful custody.

Others are more mysterious. One member of the public sent in a picture taken from a veranda of a man walking across a road and another submitted an image of a wooden pole on a beach. Mr Lazarus told MailOnline that the idea for the project began when he thought about why he kept photographs that held bad memories. He said: \u2018I had the idea for the archive when reflecting on the charge or anxiety holding on to certain photographs brought me. I started asking friends and friends of friends if they had photographs too hard to keep, and the response was powerful - the project started to grow itself. \u2018It often didn't need much explanation, people got it.\u2019 The artist believes the absence of descriptions won\u2019t matter to the archive\u2019s visitors.

From using hyperbole to convince you to order pricier items to drawing your eye to parts of the menu they want you to look at, eateries have devised intelligent ways to ensure that you end up spending more than you planned to.

According to the New York Times, prices which end with .95 instead of .99 are even more conducive to making people spend as they 'feel friendlier' to diners.

Gregg Rep, a menu consultant in California said to news.com.au: 'Dollar signs remind people of money. When you use dollar signs, your food looks more expensive.'

Lin had looked as though he was destined for a career as a journeyman. He was struggling to make it to the big time. NBA teams had turned their backs on him until the Knicks were forced to give him a chance. Lin, who was struggling financially and sleeping on a friend\u2019s couch, played well in his first match. And his second. And his third. He outscored his more illustrious team-mates. The struggling Knicks embarked on a winning streak.

Kane's progress is reminiscient of Jeremy Lin's form when he was playing basketball for the New York Knicks . Lin propelled the Knicks to a winning streak but failed to recapture his form after sustaining an injury . By the end of the first week, celebrities were flocking to courtside at Madison Square Garden to catch the buzz. Lin became a phenomenon and the mania that developed around him was given a name: Linsanity. It seemed then that Lin could never again return to ordinariness. But in mid-March, the coach who had given him his chance was fired and Lin sustained a knee injury that ended his season. He was traded to another team in the summer. They offloaded him to the struggling Los Angeles Lakers, where he has also failed to make an impact. He is known now only for his failure to sustain Linsanity. \u2018I feel like I\u2019m back to square one,\u2019 he said last week. You get the point?

The author of a book looking at the maths hidden within episodes of the Simpsons has discovered that Homer may have predicted the mass of the Higgs boson 14 years before physicists discovered the particle at the Large Hadron Collider in Cern. Dr Simon Singh, a physicist and author, found the solution written on a blackboard in front of Homer during a 1998 episode of the long running cartoon. Scroll down for video . The formula written on Homer's blackboard above is said to correctly predict the mass of the Higgs boson . In 'The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace', Homer becomes an inventor in an attempt to follow in the footsteps of Thomas Edison. Speaking to the Independent, Dr Singh said: 'That equation predicts the mass of the Higgs boson. The 'God Particle', also known as the Higgs boson, was a missing piece in the jigsaw for physicists in trying to understand how the universe works. Scientists believe that a fraction of a second after the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe, an invisible energy field, called the Higgs field, formed. This has been described as a kind of 'cosmic treacle' across the universe. As particles passed through it, they picked up mass, giving them size and shape and allowing them to form the atoms that make up you, everything around you and everything in the universe. This was the theory proposed in 1964 by former grammar school boy Professor Higgs that has now been confirmed. Without the Higgs field particles would simply whizz around space in the same way as light does. A boson is a type of sub-atomic particle. Every energy field has a specific particle that governs its interaction with what's around it. To try to pin it down, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva smashed together beams of protons \u2013 the 'hearts of atoms' \u2013 at close to the speed of light, recreating conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Although they would rapidly decay, they should have left a recognisable footprint. This footprint was found in 2012. 'If you work it out you get the mass of a Higgs boson that's only a bit larger than the nano-mass of a Higgs boson actually is. 'It's kind of amazing as Homer makes this prediction 14 years before it was discovered.' He added: 'One of the equations relates to Fermat's Last Theorem, and my first book was about all about this notorious equations, so leapt out of the screen. 'My PhD is in particle physics, so I was similarly shocked by Homer's equation predicting the mass of the Higgs boson.'

Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has been invited to speak at the Oxford Union despite being on police bail on suspicion of being a member of a banned terror group. The notorious rabble rouser received his invitation from the debating society a day before Home Secretary Theresa May announced a crackdown on Islamic extremists. The letter said it would be a 'great privilege' to have Choudary appear as the star guest. Choudary, who once said that Woolwich terror victim Fusilier Lee Rigby would 'burn in hellfire', was even offered a choice of days on which to attend the debate entitled: This house believes that radicalism is born at home. Britain's most notorious hate preacher proudly showed off his invitation after launching a hate-filled rant against Western society outside the Houses of Parliament yesterday. He said: 'I am still on police bail after being arrested by Scotland Yard in September last year. 'But the police can't stop me from speaking. They can't stop me from going to the Oxford Union where I've been invited to speak.' He was one of nine men held in a series of co-ordinated dawn raids by counter terrorism police in September last year. All the men were held on suspicion of being a member of, or backing a banned terrorist group and supporting terrorism. The alleged offences, which come under two counter- terrorism acts, carry a maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment. Choudary, 47, was arrested at an unknown location after fleeing his home in the middle of the night in the wake of threats from far-Right groups. Just hours before he was held, he posted a burst of nine inflammatory messages on Twitter, branding US bombing raids in Syria as a 'rallying call for Muslims' and labelling the actions of Western governments in Muslim countries as 'terrorism'. Since then he has remained on bail and must next attend a police station at the end of April when police can either charge him, release him or extend his bail. Choudary, who founded the radical Islamic group Al-Muhajiroun 20 years ago which was later banned, is seen as a recruiting sergeant for Britain's radical Muslims. He has played a cynical cat-and-mouse game with British authorities and has been careful to keep his incendiary speeches on the right side of Britain's hate law. Worryingly, he has warned that jailing him will give him access to a new, captive congregation to radicalise inside prison. The Oxford Union is famous for its normally high-minded debates, in which Britain's academic elite and their often very distinguished guests discuss the key issues of our time . Speaking after a Home Office banning order, the preacher said: 'If they arrest me and put me in prison, I will carry on in prison. I'll radicalise everyone in prison.'

+{"article": "Disturbing questions were being asked last night about four judges caught looking at pornography at work. Fearing a cover-up, MPs and legal experts want to know whether the four were looking at X-rated material while presiding over trials. Two are known to have overseen cases in which the charges related to pornography or sex offending. Three were viewing explicit material in their chambers. Andrew Maw, left, resigned before he could be sacked while Immigration judge Warren Grant, right, confirmed today he lost his job for viewing porn on official judicial equipment . But senior judges and the judicial disciplinary board refused to give any detail about the \u2018inappropriate\u2019 activities of the judges. And officials declined to say whether criminal charges had been considered or whether their summary departures will affect their judicial pensions. A criminal charge of misconduct in public office can be brought when a public officer \u2018wilfully misconducts himself to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public\u2019s trust\u2019. London immigration judge Warren Grant, district judge Timothy Bowles of Romford county court and recorder Peter Bullock, who worked on the north-eastern circuit, were all sacked for viewing pornographic material. Recorder Andrew Maw, who worked at Lincoln county court, resigned before he could be forced out. An official statement said he had \u2018viewed similar inappropriate material via his judicial IT account\u2019 and would have been removed from office \u2018had he not resigned before the conclusion of the disciplinary process\u2019. David Green, a criminologist at the Civitas think-tank, said: \u2018We need to know what kind of cases they were dealing with and whether the material they were looking at was relevant to those cases. That is how their behaviour could have become a matter of conduct in office. \u2018The issue is: What do we know about the cases they were hearing? This could be important for the administration of justice. Sex scandals being regularly unearthed have made us all suspicious about the behaviour of public officials.\u2019 Recorders are qualified to preside over crown court criminal trials. But the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office, which handles disciplinary complaints against judges and magistrates, refused to give any information about the misconduct or the cases the judges dealt. This means no one can know whether their judge was watching pornography during recesses in their own case or whether cases that might have involved complicated sexual issues were being run by a judge who was using pornography in his office during the trial. The dismissal of so many judges in one day \u2013 and behind closed doors \u2013 provoked disquiet in Westminster and among legal experts. Liberal Democrat John Hemming, who campaigns for open justice, said: \u2018I am concerned about the lack of transparency in the running of the judiciary. We know little about what happened here, but it was considered serious enough for the judges to be dismissed. This is one key aspect of concern over transparency in the judiciary.\u2019 Sacked: Three judges have been fired and one resigned after being caught watching porn on work computers .

Ukip candidate Tim Wilson rounded on Mr Farage for ignoring the widespread condemnation of the remark . The move has piled more pressure on Mr Coburn to resign and comes just days after another candidate, Jonathan Stanley, quit in protest at the 'racist filth' in UKIP. Mr Stanley, who was due to stand in the Cumbrian seat of Westmorland and Lonsdale, was the party's former head of policy in Scotland.

Mr Coburn's recent controversial comment was made during a telephone conversation with the Scottish Daily Mail earlier this month, in which he spoke about his appearance on BBC Two show The Big Immigration Debate. He claimed that SNP Europe and International Development minister Humza Yousaf was supposed to appear on the programme, and said: 'Humza Yousaf, or as I call him, Abu Hamza, didn't seem to turn up.' Ukip's only Scottish MEP David Coburn is facing calls to resign . Mr Coburn has since apologised for the remark and Mr Farage has dismissed it as a 'joke in poor taste', adding today: 'That's David\u2026 that's the way he is.' But Mr Wilson told the Mail: 'What Coburn said is unforgiveable - it's racist abuse. It doesn't matter whether it was a private comment, or a public comment, this man has public office and he needs to filter the ridiculous thoughts that come from his brain. 'He should be dismissed from UKIP and held to account.' He added: 'Mr Farage cannot dismiss something like this as a joke. You can't toss this thing off as a joke with a pint of beer. It's unacceptable. 'If a leader cannot understand that it is the effect of his words not his intention that matters then maybe he too needs to consider his position and I would be the first to welcome Mr Farage into the political wilderness.'

Built in 1912, the 38,000 square metre site has had a colourful past, and a tour through the ruins is like stepping back more than 100 years - if you can ignore the crumbling walls, eerie industrial equipment and 100 tonnes of bird droppings which covered the floor of the old dance hall. Asbestos-riddled and home to more pigeons than could be counted before Daily Mail Australia was taken through the cavernous building - not to mention the local bat colony - the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority spent nearly $5 million in 2014 to preserve what was still standing. Among the items still standing idle inside are the old lockers used by employees and storage rooms which dot the building, in this throwback to a bygone era.

A man has been warned he could yet face jail for lurking behind women as they bent over supermarket freezer counters and used a hidden camera to film up their skirts, a court has heard. James Webster, 35, took photos as his victims leaned against the display cabinets in the aisles and eventually attracted suspicions as other shoppers saw him moving the bag he was carrying so that he could get a clear up-skirt view. Today Webster was waiting to discover his fate after magistrates ordered a pre-sentence report to be carried out by the probation service. The court heard that an upset shopper alerted management who found the 35-year-old, who sports long dreadlocks with beads weaved through them, positioning his hidden camera underneath another woman's skirt as she leaned over a freezer. Webster had cut a hole in the bag through which he placed the lens of a camera so he could covertly film between women's legs. Prosecuting, Joanna McGlew told magistrates in Slough, Berkshire, that an upset shopper had noticed the dreadlocked voyeur and raised the alarm. 'The defendant was in Lidl in Maidenhead,' she added. 'A shopper was observing him and he saw him acting in an odd manner. 'He saw the defendant crouching down and Mr Webster kept moving a bag, which he kept with him, under the skirt of a girl and the girl seemed unaware of this. 'He then saw a lens protruding from the satchel. He was upset by this and reported it to management.' She told the court that the store manager arrived to see Webster trying to slide the spy camera bag under the skirt of another woman leaning over in the freezer section. 'He saw a female customer bend over one of the freezer aisles and saw Mr Webster manoeuvre a bag to a position under the girl's skirt,' Miss McGlew added. Webster, who at the time was living in shared accommodation in White Waltham, near Maidenhead, Berkshire, 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 Webster, who now lives with his parents on the outskirts of Norwich, turned himself in to police. Webster admitted one count of outraging public decency by covertly filming up women's skirts in the Lidl store in January. Wearing a big black jacket, black trousers and shoes, he spoke only to confirm his name, address and plead guilty to the charge yesterday.

'It was a cotton-wool consistency so hadn't been dense enough to show up on previous MRI scans. 'It hit me like a bus, I was in complete shock that this could have happened.' Doctors added that had the grade two cancer been found any later, it would have been too late to treat it. 'If I'd not had the operation, I wouldn't have known about the tumour until it was too late,' said Mrs Cunliffe, from Warrington, Cheshire. 'I felt so lucky and like I had been saved. What if I had left it any longer? 'It scared me that I didn't know it was there.' She added: 'There's no doubt in my mind that the mastectomy saved my life. It's been a whirlwind three months.'

'We brought the wedding forwards because I'm proof that you never know what's round the corner,' she said. The civil servant said she felt like a 'ticking time bomb' after being checked for signs of breast cancer from the age of 16. This was due to her mother and grandmother both falling victim to the disease in their early 30s. The devastating news that she had a 6cm-long tumour in her left breast prompted Mrs Cunliffe and her now husband Chris to move their forward by 18 months to November last year (pictured) And Mrs Cunliffe became even more worried about her breast cancer risk when she tested positive for the breast cancer gene. She said: 'I was always thinking about it. It's always been my biggest fear and the closer I got to my 30s, the more worried I got. 'In my head I was thinking if \"I don't have this operation by the time I'm 31, I'm going to get cancer\". 'I had always been assumed as high-risk and they assumed I would have the gene. For the medical people to tell you you're high risk is even more worrying.' For this reason, she had already made the decision to have the mastectomy.

The blood-stained barrel was covered with a plastic tarp when it was discarded in front of the city hall on Friday at about 11.50pm. The discovery of a dead man stuffed inside the 55-gallon barrel led detectives to a mobile home park, where Sonoma County Sheriff's detectives said they believed the victim, Ronald Sauvageau, 64, was killed. They served a search warrant at a home inside the park and arrested Christopher McNatt, 40, in the slaying. An autopsy will be conducted Tuesday to determine the cause of Sauvageau's death. Sheriff's Sgt.

The fighters also threaten Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and those who have allied with the West, vowing to destroy them. In the final section of the slickly produced and professionally edited film, the brothers are shown assembling simple rocket launchers which they claim are used to fire at Kurdish fighters. The weapons consist of little more than crudely made explosives balanced on a metal frame which is tilted upwards and held in place using a few rocks. In the last seconds of the film, which features the Islamic State's logo in the top right hand corner, one of the men presses a trigger, launching the rockets.

At his trial, Breivik sought to rationalise his actions by saying he wanted to recreate the dominant Aryan race, claiming the killings were 'necessary' to protect Norway from Muslims.

The historic landmark reached last year means just one mother in four stays at home to raise children. Figures from the Office for National Statistics showed 74.1 per cent of mothers with children under 16, or between 16 and 18 if they are still at school, are regarded as \u2018participating in the labour market\u2019. By comparison, 75 per cent of women without dependent children were either in work or looking for a job last year. Mothers are now as likely to go out to work as women without children, figures showed yesterday . In the mid-1990s, only two thirds of mothers had jobs, while then, as now, three in four childless women were working. The gap has closed because there are now half a million more women with children under five in work, or looking for jobs, than in 1996. There are also 200,000 more women with children aged between five and ten in the labour market. Mothers were briefly more likely to have jobs than women without families in 2013, the ONS report revealed, but last year more than 350,000 childless women entered the growing labour market. The latest figures will be welcomed by Coalition ministers. Chancellor George Osborne said in his Budget speech on Wednesday that a key element of the Government\u2019s \u2018massive moment\u2019 in job creation, giving Britain its highest-ever employment rate, was \u2018more women in work than ever before\u2019.

But critics of the Government\u2019s drive for more mothers to go out to work say many are reluctant to do so and would prefer to stay at home to bring up their children. The historic landmark reached last year means just one mother in four stays at home to raise children (picture posed by models) Author and family commentator Jill Kirby said the figures were a result of government efforts to persuade mothers that \u2018children are better off in childcare\u2019, adding: \u2018Children are losing out \u2013 a string of different childcare workers is no substitute for the love of a mother.\u2019 Imogen Thompson, of the pressure group Mothers at Home Matter, said: \u2018We question whether this is what all women want, or whether many are forced into returning to the labour market before they feel they, or their children, are ready.\u2019 The new estimates are based on the large-scale Labour Force Survey covering women who either have jobs or are unemployed and looking for work. The ONS report said benefit changes that have pressed single parents into looking for work may have influenced the change. It added: \u2018Other government policies, for example to fund 570 hours of free early education childcare a year in England for all three to four-year-olds, will have provided additional incentives to engage with the labour market.\u2019 The biggest change has been among mothers of children under five.

The Royals will welcome Phil Parkinson's side to the Madejski Stadium on Monday night, with the winner progressing into the final four to face cup-holders Arsenal at Wembley. A goalless draw at Valley Parade in the original tie means the draw was made following Arsenal's win at Manchester United but before a replay could decide who would face the Gunners. Reading manager Steve Clarke reveals he did not watch the FA Cup semi-final draw . Reading and Bradford played out a goalless draw in the FA Cup quarter-final last weekend . And Clarke, who made nine changes to his side that lost 4-1 at Watford in their Sky Bet Championship clash on Saturday, insists he cannot entertain the idea of a Wembley date as he pays full respect to Bradford. 'I didn't watch the draw,' he said. 'A friend texted me telling me we had drawn Arsenal, but I never intended on watching it. 'I don't think it (the draw) makes any difference whatsoever. I think the game against Bradford is big enough in its own right and the reward of getting through to an FA Cup semi-final is big enough in its own right. So I don't think the semi-final opposition makes a difference to either team. 'Before there is any talk of semi-finals you have to get through to the quarter-final and that's what we intend to do. 'What's the point of thinking about a game that is not there? You have to think about the game coming up and it's a very difficult game for us against a very good Bradford team.' Almen Abdi (centre) got Watford off to a dream start against Reading by scoring inside a minute . Matej Vyrdra (right) also scored as Watford beat Reading 4-1 on Saturday afternoon . Despite a potential meeting with Arsene Wenger's FA Cup winners, Clarke believes his squad must be targeting their own success in this season's competition rather than just hoping for a Wembley day out against Arsenal. 'To get to Wembley doesn't excite me, to get to the FA Cup semi-final does,' he said. That's the key for me. One more step in the cup would be nice. To get to Wembley is just another game, there are no prizes for it. 'The final goal of any competition is to pick up the silver trophy at the end of it. This is just another step on the way to the final. That's how you have to look at every round and that's how we have looked at every round. 'It's not to get excited about a semi-final. In a semi-final there is no trophy, there are no medals. It's much better to put down on your CV that you have got a cup winners medal or you've lifted a trophy. 'That has to be the ambition.

On Friday, the pound was worth \u20ac1.38 \u2013 which for British holidaymakers heading to, say, France, Spain, Italy and Greece is the most favourable rate for more than seven years. It\u2019s around 14 per cent better than this time last year, and 20 per cent better than five years ago. Holidaymakers booking a village in the South of France can save more than \u00a3200 compared with last year . Put more graphically, if that villa in the South of France you\u2019re looking at costs \u20ac2,000 (\u00a31,450) a week to rent, it\u2019s \u00a3231 cheaper than it was in 2014 and \u00a3353 cheaper than in 2010. Likewise, a meal for two in Venice with a \u20ac100 (\u00a372) price tag costs roughly \u00a312 less than this time last year, and \u00a318 less than in 2010. Here are some issues that the better pound/euro exchange rate raises \u2013 but remember that if you use cards to get cash out of overseas ATMs, settle hotel and restaurant bills and make purchases, the actual exchange rate won\u2019t be quite as good, due to the banks taking commission. Holidaymakers may get a better deal by booking direct, in euros, as most prices were fixed last year . Book direct? Most holiday companies will have fixed their prices with hoteliers and villa owners last year, when the pound was weaker against the euro. This means you may well get a better deal by booking direct, in euros. That said, I know of a number of operators and villa agencies that have recently lowered prices to take into account the better exchange rate, and tailor-made arrangements may be based on current exchange rates. So it\u2019s worth doing DIY vs package price comparisons. Also bear in mind that you get better financial protection and back-up when you book a package. If you do book direct, to be sure of benefiting from the current good exchange rate, you need to pay in full now rather than putting down a deposit or paying on arrival/departure. The rate may be even better in a few months\u2019 time, but of course it may have worsened. You could hedge your bets by obtaining some (but not all) of your spending money now . Buy euros now? The pound was worth about \u20ac1.40 a week ago, but by Friday it had fallen slightly. No one knows what it will do next, so if you buy euros now, you\u2019re taking a gamble.

+{"article": "When the first astronauts land on Mars, they will not use a conventional parachute or heat shield that has been used before. Instead, upon impacting the upper Martian atmosphere, a large inflatable saucer-shaped structure will slow their progress. This is the low density supersonic decelerator (LDSD) and, in June, Nasa will perform the latest test of this groundbreaking technology - a vital next step in the journey to Mars. Scroll down for a video from last year's test . In June, the vehicle will be sent into near-space from the Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai, Hawaii, to test its re-entry capabilities into Earth's atmosphere . Tomorrow at 9am to 10am PDT (5pm to 6pm GMT), Nasa will perform a spin test of the vehicle at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California before transporting it to Hawaii. The event will be streamed live on Ustream, and viewers will be able to ask questions on Twitter using the #AskNasa hashtag. Ultimately, the vehicle will be sent into near-space from the Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai, Hawaii, in June. The LDSD is unique in its design, using a donut-shaped inflatable decelerator to create atmospheric drag. When attached to the exterior of a capsule travelling at Mach 3.5 it will be capable of slowing it down to Mach 2, where a regular parachute can then deploy. Last June, to simulate the Martian atmosphere on Earth, the LDSD was lifted to a height of 23 miles (37km) by a high-altitude balloon. A small rocket then launched it 11 miles (18km) higher. As this point the LDSD inflated around a larger saucer-shaped object, bringing it safely back to land in open water. \u2018The LDSD crosscutting demonstration mission will test breakthrough technologies that will enable large payloads to be safely landed on the surface of Mars, or other planetary bodies with atmospheres, including Earth,\u2019 Nasa said in a statement. \u2018The technologies will not only enable landing of larger payloads on Mars, but also allow access to much more of the planet's surface by enabling landings at higher-altitude sites.\u2019 Esessentially parachute, the LDSD is large - 15ft (4.6 metres) wide and weighing 7,000lbs (3.200kg) - in order to cope with the atmosphere of Mars. Earth has a reasonably thick atmosphere, so we can parachute relatively easily to the surface. But the Martian atmosphere is much thinner, so parachutes need to be much larger in order to create sufficient drag to land safely. The system is designed to land large vehicles on the surface of Mars. The main structural body of the second flight test vehicle in Nasa's LDSD project is seen during its assembly in a cleanroom at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.The flight test for this vehicle is planned in June of this year. It will eventually be used to take humans to the surface of Mars . A successful test took place in June 2014, shown, when the LDSD successfully re-entered part of Earth's atmosphere.

Bought by property investor and dentist Le Tran in June for $14 million, the grand six-bedroom mansion at 9 Hillside Avenue Vaucluse in Sydney's eastern suburbs is now being offered for $20 million following a large-scale renovation. 'There have been extensive renovations done, it has basically been completely rebuilt inside, virtually,' Black Diamondz estate agent Brad Pillinger told Daily Mail Australia. The exclusive mansion at 9 Hillside Avenue Vaucluse in Sydney's eastern suburbs has been put on the market for $20 million . This is despite it last being purchased by dentist and property investor Le Tran only eight months ago for $14 million . Black Diamondz estate agent Brad Pillinger said that extensive renovations had been done to the home's interior since it was purchased . 'The floors, walls, appliances - basically everything. The whole internal layout has been re-done.' When asked if he believed it would snatch-up its multi-million dollar target, Mr Pillinger replied 'It'll go close'. Le Tran purchased the home from property developer Jacques Kurdian whose father bought it in 1976 for less than 1.5 per cent of the cost - $220,000, according to Review Property. But despite Le Tran selling his last home in Hunters Hill for $12.5 million before buying the exclusive, water-front home, Mr Pillinger said he hasn't even moved in. 'They have in mind a particular property they want to buy,' the estate agent said when asked by Daily Mail Australia for the reason of Le Tran's quick re-sale. 'The floors, walls, appliances - basically everything. The whole internal layout has been re-done,' he told Daily Mail Australia . The home features five bathrooms, a resort-style swimming pool, spa, sauna, wide terraces and a pool-side dining patio . When asked if he believed it would snatch-up its multi-million dollar target, Mr Pillinger replied 'It'll go close' Le Tran purchased the home from property developer Jacques Kurdian whose father bought it in 1976 for almost one 10th of the cost . 'The renovation has been finished and they were about to move in but they changed their mind and put it on the market.' With an enormous 1808 square metre land size and panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, it's no wonder that the castle-like home has had 'a lot of initial interest', according to Mr Pillinger. 'It has an unequal view of everything that is iconic in Sydney and it's particularly private.'

The event was one-in-a-million, medical professionals said, and Ashley and Matt Alexander, of Greenfield, outside Indianapolis, said they knew how they lucky they are. Sophia Mae and Alexis Kae weighed in at more than 4 pounds, while Ella Shae weighs 5 pounds, according to 6 ABC, and were born at 36 weeks. 'It's just an awesome blessing for God to entrust us with three more little blessings all at once,' Ashley told the Indiana network. Scroll down for video .

But Mrs Alexander thinks she has the answer - nail polish. She intends to keep track of the girls by painting each of their nails a different color - purple, pink or light blue. The couple were looking at an ultrasound when the technician told them they were expecting triplets. Mr Alexander asked whether the hospital worker was joking when he asked the technician to check.'Sir, we do not joke about this,' the technician said before telling Mr and Mrs Alexander about the triplets, the Greenfield Reporter reported. Ashley Alexander (left) and hubsand Matt of Greenfield, Indiana, were surprised weeks ago when they learned they were expecting three new additions to their family during a routine sonogram . 'Is this a joke?': Mr Alexander asked the technician to double check when she told the couple they were expecting triplets . While triplets have become more common with the rise of methods such as in vitro fertilization, having an identical trio naturally, where one egg is fertilized and splits into three separate embyros, is rare.

There were in 4,600 triplets out of nearly 4 million US births in 2012 according to date from the Centers for Disease Control. However there is no record of how many were identical or how many births involved fertility treatments. The mother, who works as a part-time nurse, had hoped to wait until mid-February to give birth, with multiples often born early.

Deval Patrick told the New York Times. 'I want Democrats to win.' Democrats have never been particularly comfortable with handing Clinton the party's nomination. Buying into that notion of 'inevitability' is how the former New York senator lost her 2008 bid to Barack Obama, and it could lead to defeat for the party at the polls next November.

'She is by far the most experienced and qualified person we could possibly nominate. Not even on the horizon but on the far horizon.' Clinton has been hit hard throughout the last two weeks from politicians and pundits all across the political spectrum for her use of a private email system while serving as secretary of state. Republicans, and Democrats who worry about Clinton's viability as a candidate, contend that the calculated move to avoid using an email address directly registered to the federal government will intensify the public perception that Hillary and her husband, Bill, are secretive and therefore potentially untrustworthy. Clinton has said that she sent the State Department copies of all her work-related emails, but there's no way to verify her statements, as she retains the rights to both her inbox and the computer server she ran them through. And the White House said on Thursday that the federal government neither reviewed Clinton's personal email nor was it 'particularly interested' in doing so to make sure she hadn't tossed out anything of importance.

Ofcom said today it had received 120 complaints about the February 3 show where a scantily-clad couple were seen on a bed playing kinky games on live television. Presenter Philip Schofield had said before the segment it would be in 'good taste', but viewers disagreed, calling it 'pornographic' and 'highly inappropriate' for morning television. Several complained that they were forced to answer questions about bondage from their children, who had been watching it with them. Investigation: ITV's This Morning segment called Bondage For Beginners, which featured a live demonstration of 50 Shades of Grey inspired sex toys, now faces an Ofcom investigation . Presenters Christine Bleakley and Phillip Schofield giggled their way through the segment, but maintained it was in 'good taste' An Ofcom spokesman said today: 'Ofcom has opened an investigation into whether an item about 'bondage for beginners' was suitable for broadcast before the watershed.' The 'Bondage For Beginners' session was inspired by the new film of the controversial erotic novel 50 Shades Of Grey, which opened in cinemas in mid-February. Presenters Christine Bleakley and Phillip Schofield giggled their way through the show, which also featured a discussion about sex toys. Two models in their underwear were shown in bed using a 'feather tickler' and discussion moved on to other sex toys like nipple-clamps. Mr Schofield, 52, had warned viewers shortly after 10.30am that they would be discussing bondage equipment in three stages \u2013 beginners, intermediate and advanced \u2013 throughout the show with 'sexpert' Annabelle Knight. However he assured them it would 'be done in good taste'. Yet at one point he was so distracted by the romping models that he missed his cue to introduce the next section, while Miss Bleakley, 36, who is engaged to footballer Frank Lampard, found herself laughing uncontrollably. Campaigners said it was an error of judgment to air the discussion at that time of day. Vivienne Pattison, director of Mediawatch UK, said the show had set a dangerous example: 'It's not enough to say most children will be at school [at that time] because that's just not good enough. 'Quite apart from issues of taste and the fact that people might not want to speak to their children about this, I think it is dangerous to normalise this kind of behaviour. [50 Shades Of Grey] is putting across ideas that humiliation is pleasurable and torture is gratifying and I don't think those are healthy for anybody at all. 'But if it is dangerous for adults then it is doubly dangerous for children watching this'. Pre-watershed: At 11am on Valentine's Day two models in their underwear were shown in bed using a 'feather tickler' and discussion moved on to other sex toys like nipple-clamps.

Making cocktails in space is a difficult business, but now there\u2019s a specially designed \u2018glass\u2019 in the pipeline that promises to force liquid to stay put. Grooves in the 3D printed vessel will let astronauts enjoy the aroma of a beverage and keep the fluid in place so they can drink in a way they are used to on Earth. Scroll down for videos . A Californian company has designed a martini glass (pictured alongside a cup) intended for zero gravity that has ridges to ensure liquid stays inside it and can be sipped by an astronaut . A company called Cosmic Lifestyle Corp (CLC) in Oakland, California came up with the design - which is a work in progress - to solve the problem of drinking in space. Nasa once developed \u2018parabolic sherry\u2019 and astronauts have been known to have a swig of vodka, but drinking from a conventional glass is difficult. This is because liquid becomes sticky and clumps together in blobs in zero gravity. If a glob of water is broken, for example, it splits into many smaller blobs that scatter everywhere and are hard to clean up. To solve this problem, liquid is typically kept in bags with attachment for straws, but while this is practical, it\u2019s not an elegant solution and means astronauts can\u2019t smell the liquid, which is naturally less pungent and tasteless in zero gravity. The start-up chose to 3D print the cup so the complicated design can be refined quickly \u2013 with each design taking around 15 hours to print. Because there is already a printer on the ISS, the idea is that glasses could be printed off straight away, without the need to transport the delicate vessels. Image shows early versions . In the 1979 film, Moonraker, James Bond, played by Roger Moore (a poster is shown), has a space adventure but doesn't attempt to drink his signature martini in space . The first step is drop the glass inside a 102ft-tall lift at Portland State University, to produce two seconds of weightlessness, so that the durability of the glass and how different fluids react, can be tested.

So it is no wonder photographer Ryan Deboodt, 31, relied on a drone to capture footage showing the immense size of the Hang Son Doong cave in Vietnam. The result is a spectacular video showcasing the dramatic topography inside the cave, which is 5.5 miles long, 650ft wide and 500ft tall. Opening with shots pan across the vast jungle-like vegetation and adventurers are traipsing through the cave are dwarfed by their immense surroundings. Ryan, originally from America but now living in Beijing, China, described the cave as like an extraterrestrial planet. He said: 'This was my third visit to Son Doong. It was actually last minute that I even decided to take the drone in with me. 'I was originally going in to the cave to collect three timelapse cameras I had in there for six months to document the flooding.' The process took Ryan eight days to complete and he was required to take a lot of ropes, harnesses and safety equipment into the cave with him. The drone captures the staggering height of the cave and people in the images appear to be specks on the landscape . A time lapse shot captures a beam of sun light moving through the top of the cave over the course of a day . Outside shots of the cave show the magnitude of it and capture the grand scale of its reported 500ft . Tourists with a spare \u00a31,800 ($3,000) can take tours of the cave with a company called Oxalis. A team of more than 25 porters, safety experts and guides take the tour over six days. The journey to the cave takes a day and a half through dense uninhabited jungle, before you abseil 260ft down to its entrance. Tours must be booked in advance as there is a strict limit of 10 guests per departure. He said: 'Throughout the entire cave you have to be extra cautious, as something as simple as a twisted ankle can cause much grief and effort in order to get back out of the cave.' Ryan explained that while he was within the cave he wouldn't have been surprised to have seen a dinosaur. He said: 'Being inside Son Doong is absolutely unreal. I felt tiny, insignificant.' The cave was first discovered in 1991, when a local farmer stumbled across it and sought shelter there from a storm. Before the chance discovery, it had remained undetected beneath the Annamite Mountains in a remote part of central Vietnam for millions of years. Unable to find the cave again on a repeat visit, the farmer gave up the hunt until he was approached by a group of cavers to help him find it.

Sara Brautigam was four years ago diagnosed with Postural orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), a condition which makes her heart race while standing upright.

Ms Brautigam said that she has contacted other people with the same condition, but none of those people's hearts have stopped . 'They can't give me CPR because CPR tires the heart out for no reason so it is pointless. When the heart fills up with blood again is when it begins beating again. 'The blood tends to pool in my legs and the doors need to help feed it back to the heart.' 'I can't have oxygen because it prolongs the attack. 'In fact it is just a case of leaving me there and praying. The only thing they can do is put me on a drip,' she added.

Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, palpitations, sweating, nausea, fainting and dizziness. They are associated with an increase in heart rate from the lying to upright position of greater than 30 beats per minute, or a heart rate of greater than 120 beats per minute within 10 minutes of standing.

It is welcome news for the thousands of women in the UK who faced trauma, financial costs and further operations to have their PIP implants removed.

A teacher who complained about an unruly pupil and went on sick leave was spied upon by the local education authority while she was on sick leave. Kim Davies, who has taught English for the past 28 years, faced the prospect of being hit with a classroom ban following allegations of misconduct. A General Teaching Council For Wales (GTCW) hearing in Cardiff was told Mrs Davies became a thorn in the side of education officials after lodging more than 20 complaints about a colleague and nine to an exam board.

Healthcare row: Tory MPs on the health select committee have accused four Labour counterparts of blocking a report that suggested the 'pace of privatisation' in the NHS has in fact slowed since the last election . This dealt a blow to Labour's argument that David Cameron cannot be trusted with the NHS. Rather than publish the report weeks before the election, the four Labour committee members blocked it after reading a draft, claimed their Tory counterparts Charlotte Leslie, Robert Jenrick and Andrew Percy. Mr Percy, the MP for Brigg and Goole, said: 'This is despicable. We heard hours and hours of evidence, but because it does not support the national party line about the NHS being under threat, they block it. 'Labour were only interested if they could use it to weaponise the NHS.' Last night, the angry Tory MPs released a dossier of some of the report's findings. It said: 'The weight of evidence\u2026 showed there had not been an extension of charges, of top-ups during the current Parliament, and that these are not planned. 'It showed very little increase in private-sector providers since 2010 [and] a general trend of declining administration costs in the NHS.' It added that independent provider admissions had increased by just 0.6 per cent under the Coalition's Health and Social Care Act, while foundation trusts now receive a lower proportion of their income from private patients than during Labour's time in power. Conflict: Tory MPs Charlotte Leslie (left), Robert Jenrick and Andrew Percy claim their rivals blocked the report because it made the Conservatives look good, but Labour MP Valerie Vaz says the report they released themselves 'did not make full use of the evidence' The dossier also said expenditure on NHS administration had fallen from 5.1 per cent in 2009/10 to a planned 2.7 per cent in 2015/16. And it found that nothing 'suggests that continuing with a comprehensive tax-funded NHS is intrinsically undoable'. Mr Percy said: 'They said the report was too pro-Government. But that's ridiculous, because many of our reports have been very critical of the Government. 'On this occasion, the evidence simply didn't support what Labour wanted to hear.' Valerie Vaz, a Labour MP on the committee, told The Spectator: 'This was a private meeting and I am disappointed a colleague has publicised their version of what was said.

Bowe Bergdahl said Wednesday night that trading five high-value Taliban leaders for his safe return was 'absolutely' the right thing to do. 'Was it worth it? Absolutely,' said Jen Psaki, the chief spokeswoman at the State Department. 'We have a commitment to our men and women serving overseas \u2013 or serving in our military \u2013 defending our national security every day, that we're going to do everything we can to bring them home if we can, and that's what we did in this case.' On Thursday aboard Air Force One, White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz backed her up, saying that President Barack Obama 'will not allow a member of the United States armed forces to be left behind.' 'Was it worth it? Absolutely,' said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki of the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap . Bergdahl, shown before his handover to US troops in May 2014, was ransomed for five high-level Taliban leaders in a White House maneuver that has drawn criticism from members of Congress . Psaki spoke to Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly. She is scheduled to take over the job of White House communications director next month from Jen Palmieri, who will transition to a role with Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. 'You know, this is a commitment we've made, we've long made, we've made for decades,' said Psaki. Bringing Bergdahl home at any cost 'was an important message for this president to deliver to the American people,' Schultz added Thursday, 'but also to people all around the world, that the United States and their commander-in-chief stands squarely behind our men and women in uniform \u2013 and with the commitment we have made to not leave them behind.' He wouldn't, however, comment on the criminal charges facing Bergdahl. 'There's an ongoing military justice process that's underway and I don't want to say anything that might interfere with that investigation, or even leave anyone with the appearance of some sort of interference,' Schultz told reporters. 'But that is a process that will run its course as it should.' The Obama administration's ransom deal has come under new fire as Bergdahl's criminal charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice were read yesterday at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce, a California Republican, said the charges of desertion and 'misbehavior before the enemy' were 'the exclamation point on the bad deal the Obama administration cut to free five terrorist killers in its rush to empty the prison at Guantanamo Bay.' 'TALIBAN FIVE': The terror leaders traded for Bergdahl were (top, from left): Abdul Haq Wasiq, Khirullah Said Wali Khairkhwa, Mohammad Nabi Omari; and (bottom from left): Mohammad A Fazl, Mullah Norullah Noori .

'The team has been phenomenal, welcoming me the first day,' recalled Vettel. 'I remember when the gate opened in Maranello it was like a dream coming true. 'I remember the last time I was there was as a young kid watching Michael over the fence driving around in the Ferrari, and now I'm driving that very red car. It's incredible. 'Of course, when I grew up Michael was my hero, and for all of us - and I speak for all of the kids at the go-kart track at the time in Germany - we looked up to him.

+{"article": "A star that is travelling fast enough to escape the gravitational clutches of our galaxy has been discovered by a team of astronomers. The amazing stellar object attained its rapid speed when a nearby star exploded as a supernova, sending it out of the Milky Way. At its current speed it would make the journey from Earth to the moon in just five minutes - a trip which took the Apollo spacecraft three days. Scroll down for a video showing an artist's impression of the event . Astronomers in Hawaii have found the fastest 'unbound' star in the galaxy. Called US 708 it is moving at 745 miles (1,200km) per second. It will leave the galaxy in about 25 million years. This artist's concept shows a star (left) being ejected from the galaxy, although in reality the supernova would have been faded long ago . The star, known as US 708, was first discovered in 1982 by Dr Peter Usher of Pennsylvania State University but had since then remained ignored. However, a team of astronomers led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa has now re-examined the star, and found that it breaks the galactic speed record for an 'unbound' star. US 708 is almost 62,000 light-years from Earth, and is on a path that will take it out of the Milky Way in about 25 million years. Type 1a: A white dwarf accumulates material from a stellar companion until it undergoes runaway nuclear fusion and explodes. Non-standard type 1a: Two white dwarfs merge until their combined mass causes an explosion. Type II: A star at least nine times the mass of the sun eventually experiences a core collapse as its fuel runs out, causing it to explode. Type 1b and 1c: A star undergoes core collapse but most of its outer hydrogen has already been lost to stellar winds. Hypernova: Extreme type of supernova, 50 times as energetic as other supernovas, resulting in a black hole. The exact cause of them is unknown. Using the 10-metre Keck II and Pan-Starrs1 telescopes in Hawaii, the astronomers calculated that the star is moving at about 745 miles (1,200km) per second. This makes it the fastest \u2018rogue\u2019 star in the galaxy - one that is no longer orbiting the centre. \u2018At that speed, you could travel from Earth to the moon in five minutes,\u2019 said Dr Eugene Magnier of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. \u2018By observing the sky repeatedly over several years, the Pan-Starrs1 survey, let us make a movie of the motions of the stars in the sky. \u2018That enables us to study the behavioirs of extremely rare and weird stars like US 708.\u2019 While a handful of other stars escaping the galaxy are known, this is the first to have been found that was ejected by a thermonuclear supernova explosion. US 708, which is a helium-rich white dwarf, was propelled at high speeds when a more massive white dwarf star nearby in a tight binary blew up. At the speed US 708 is travelling it would make the journey from Earth", "summary": "Astronomers in Hawaii have found the fastest 'unbound' star in the galaxy .

Murray said: 'We've agreed for him to work with us for a week just to try and see how it goes. Normally when I've started working with coaches I've done that. 'I know him very well from when he played. He was one of the older guys when I came on the tour and he was very good to me. He's a very nice person, good sense of humour.

Women\u2019s rights campaigner Naz Shah, who was selected last week to fight the seat of Bradford West against George Galloway, also suffered marriage at the age of 15, violence and poverty. She was praised on social media yesterday after publishing a remarkable account of how her life has been defined by extreme poverty and violence. In an emotive open letter, she described growing up in Bradford in extreme poverty and becoming homeless aged six after her father left his family destitute when he eloped with a 16-year-old neighbour. She was forced to be a parent to her two sisters after her mother, who had suffered years of abuse at the hands of a local drug dealer, was jailed for his murder after she poisoned him. Mrs Shah\u2019s mother, Zoora, was released from prison in 2000 after serving 14 years for putting poison into the food of Mohammed Azam, a local drug dealer she feared was planning to sexually abuse her daughters.

Mrs Shah, a mother-of-three, became active in politics after campaigning to free her mother, Zoora. She will be opposing Respect MP Mr Galloway in May\u2019s general election. Yesterday she described being forced into an arrange marriage in Pakistan, when she was under the age of consent, to a man who was violent towards her.

+{"article": "The estranged wife of former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling turned her romantic rival's words against her in court Friday, playing a recording that showed her husband showered V Stiviano with millions of dollars in gifts. In closing arguments in the trial seeking the return of more than $2.8million in community property the Sterlings acquired over six decades of marriage, Shelly Sterling's lawyer relied on the words of Miss Stiviano to show that the elderly billionaire was her sugar daddy. \u2018The truth is that everything that I have, you've given me from your heart without me begging or asking or throwing myself all over you,\u2019 Stiviano said in snippet. \u2018That's it, that's over. End of case,\u2019 attorney Pierce O'Donnell said.

Scroll down for video . Back in court: V. Stiviano, 32, pictured here arriving at Los Angeles Superior court Friday, painted two conflicting portraits of Donald Sterling, saying he was a kind, generous mentor and father figure to her but was a 'bigot' who was mean to others . A trick up her sleeve: Donald Sterling's wife, Shelly, had her lawyer play a recording in court Friday that showed her husband showered V Stiviano with millions of dollars in gifts . While an accountant for Sterling conservatively estimated that Stiviano got more than $3.6million in Sterling gifts that included a Ferrari and Paris shopping spree, O'Donnell said he would only seek return of the house and more than $1million in cash, saying the lower figure lined up with Stiviano's own admissions on the witness stand, depositions and court filings. Judge Richard Fruin Jr, who didn't indicate how soon he would rule, had noted earlier that there was no clear documentation that funds went from the Sterling family's real estate company to Stiviano's bank accounts. Defense lawyer Mac Nehoray reiterated that point in his closing argument. He attacked the credibility of witnesses, particularly Donald Sterling, who had suggested Stiviano got her name on the home title illegally because she was part Hispanic and had buddied up to a Hispanic banker and escrow officer. It was Stiviano who recorded the now-infamous conversation with Donald Sterling in which he berated her for associating with black people and urged her not to bring minorities with her to Clippers basketball games. In the furor sparked when the remarks were made public, the NBA banned Sterling from the league for life, and he was ultimately forced to sell the Clippers franchise he had owned for 33 years for a record $2billion. Nehoray spent most of his argument trying to convince the judge that the law doesn't allow Shelly Sterling to go after a third party like Stiviano because of a breach of fiduciary duty by her husband.

Bley offered to help her create the organization and agreed with her request to 'pass out Islamic State flags and educate people' at an annual student 'Festival of Nations' fair.

'WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT THAT': Bley explained that his office wouldn't make judgments about the kinds of activities and clubs college students wanted to sign up for . The only objection?

Colwyn Baker, David Hennessy and Nigel Putman are said to have preyed on youngsters at the now defunct Swaylands School in Penshurst, Kent, between 1963 and 1993. As well as the abuse allegedly committed by the trio, jurors were also told Baker allegedly encouraged the boys to commit sex acts on other children. David Hennessey (pictured left) and Nigel Putman (right) are accused alongside Colwyn Baker of sexually abusing youngsters at the now-defunct Swaylands School in Penshurst, Kent, between 1963 and 1993 . The three men face a total of 49 charges against 24 victims, who were aged between 10 to 15 at the time. Baker, 71, of Morningside, Edinburgh, faces 24 counts of indecent assault and three charges of rape. Hennessy, 74, of King's Lynn, Norfolk, has been charged with 17 counts of indecent assault, one of gross indecency with a child and one of rape. Putman, 62, of Slough, Berkshire, faces three charges of indecent assault. They deny all of the charges against them. The men were residential child care officers at Swaylands School, which catered for boys with emotional and behavioural difficulties and which closed in 1993. They are accused of making nightly rounds and encouraging the pupils to abuse each other in a number of cruel and sometimes painful sexual 'games' - keeping them quiet with blackmail and presents. The men were residential child care officers at Swaylands School (pictured) which catered for boys with emotional and behavioural difficulties. The school closed in 1993 and has since been converted in to flats . The court heard detailed descriptions of multiple counts of alleged sexual abuse, including a sex 'game' called 'toothpaste testicles'. Opening the 12-week trial at Maidstone Crown Court today, prosecutor Philip Bennetts QC told the jury: 'The atmosphere at the school at the time that you are considering was one where abuse was almost the norm. 'Children who were abused were positively encouraged to abuse other pupils. 'Abuse and the age of pupils abused led some pupils to consider that there was nothing wrong with abusing other pupils.' One of Baker's alleged victims became so scared that he often stayed awake at night, sleeping in stairwells to avoid Baker, Mr Bennetts said. As a result, the boy would often fall asleep in class, causing a dramatic decline in his learning. He would end up being caned by the headmaster as punishment for dozing off. The court heard another boy said Baker would wake him in the middle of the night and abuse him almost nightly for three years. Another told investigators that Baker was in charge of the Scouts, karate and swimming, adding: 'Anything good that you wanted to do as a boy, Baker was in charge of it.'

The very early model of the sensor (pictured) has been created by San Francisco-based BoydSense and is on display at this year\u2019s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona . Advanced software and prediction algorithms are then used with a connected app to reveal any anomalies. The very early model of the sensor has been created by San Francisco-based BoydSense and is on display at this year\u2019s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Endogenous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released either through everyday metabolic activity, or by diseases in the body. Once created, they travel into the blood and are released in urine or breath. In addition to detecting volatile compounds in the breath, the firm said the sensor could be used to identify compounds released by rotting food . Some compounds, including carbon for instance, are released naturally. BoydSense has therefore developed software that can identify at which point the level of a gas or compound is beyond what is considered normal. It uses predictive algorithms to then convert the data so that patients and doctors can understand what the results mean. It is hoped that complex processing will prevent needless worry or give a false reading that suggests they are ill. If the sensor is added to a smartphone, for example, a patient could record their breath and the results could be sent to their doctor automatically. In particular, the sensors build on current breath gas analysers that are used to detect early signs of diabetes and even lung cancer. In addition to detecting volatile compounds in the breath, Mr Thuillier said the sensor could be used to identify compounds released by rotting food. In the MailOnline demo, the BoydSense sensor was able to detect an orange within 30 seconds . BoydSense\u2019s boss Bruno Thuillier gave MailOnline a demo of the technology at Mobile World Congress. The current sensor is a prototype and syncs with a smartphone via Bluetooth - although Mr Thuillier hopes future models will be embedded into the phones themselves. It takes around a minute to normalise and stabilise, a process needed to ensure that any readings are not contaminated by previous \u2018sniffs\u2019. This process is expected to be much faster on a finalised version, however. For the demo, the sensor is then placed inside a jar containing molecules released by oranges. Within about 30 seconds the sensor beeped to say it had recognised the molecules and a picture of an orange appeared on the connected smartphone. This was a simplified way of demonstrating its capabilities, but Mr Thuillier explained that the compounds released by oranges and vanilla - another jar in the demo - were complex enough to show its potential.

No matter how good your CV, it's your voice that may actually help you land the job. Researchers found recruiters rated candidates as more competent, thoughtful and intelligent when they heard the pitch than when they read it - even when the words used were exactly the same.

The new study by University of Chicago Booth School of Business Professor Nicholas Epley and PhD candidate Juliana Schroeder also found the addition of video did not influence evaluations beyond hearing the candidate's voice. \u2018This has important implications not just for the person involved but for society as a whole as trust can have significant benefits, from health and happiness, to social cohesion, efficient democratic governance and economic development.\u2019 The study, which was published in the journal Social Science Research, involved data from almost 7,000 British adults followed as part of the National Child Development Study of adults born in March 1958.

Afzal Amin, who is standing in a key marginal seat, is accused of asking the English Defence League to say it was organising an inflammatory march against a local 'mega-mosque'. It is claimed he did not intend the march to go ahead, but wanted to hold phoney talks with the group to get it to call off the march, and gain credit for defusing the situation just before the general election. Tory candidate Afzal Amin has vowed to clear his name after he was recorded apparently plotting with a far-Right group to win votes by stirring up religious tensions . Tory ministers yesterday urged him to stand down, but Mr Amin \u2013 who has been suspended from the party pending an inquiry \u2013 denied the claims and insisted he had been 'grossly misrepresented'. In secret filming, he is heard telling EDL leaders that he would also pay for the group's supporters to canvass on his behalf, and would be their 'unshakeable ally' in Parliament if elected. Defence Minister Anna Soubry said that if the allegations were true, Mr Amin should 'fess up and go now'. She added: 'If this is right, this is dreadful. I mean the EDL is the most appalling organisation'. The party had high hopes for 40-year-old Mr Amin, a Muslim and an ex-Army captain who has done three tours of duty in Afghanistan. The former teacher had become an education officer and was said to have worked with Princes William and Harry. He was filmed telling EDL leaders that he would also pay for the group's supporters to canvass on his behalf . Former Tory party chairman Baroness Warsi has apparently met Mr Amin on several occasions over the past seven years, and called on his expertise as one of the highest-ranking Muslim soldiers. Mr Amin, who faces a disciplinary hearing tomorrow, was selected two years ago to fight the marginal seat of Dudley North. It is held by Labour's Ian Austin with a majority of only 649. A month ago, a real demonstration about the city's \u00a318million mosque by 600 EDL supporters inflamed tensions and led to 30 arrests. Mr Amin appears to have suggested last week to the EDL's former leader Tommy Robinson and current chairman Steve Eddowes that they announce a 'second march about the mosque'. At restaurant, he is heard telling them: 'We all play our roles, you say, 'Yeah we're going to do a march...' He proposes that after a second meeting with him, and police and Muslim leaders, they hold a press conference 'where you say, 'We were going to do a march. The chief [of] police asked Afzal Amin, members of the Muslim community, we've sat together and... we're going to work closely together'.

Richard III\u2019s coffin leaves Leicester University for Bosworth Field in a black Jaguar hearse, escorted by four police outriders and limousines, to start the preliminary leg of its journey. The oak coffin was made by Michael Ibsen, Richard\u2019s nephew 17 times removed, whose family\u2019s DNA was used to identify the King\u2019s skeleton. The bones have been packed in wool and Richard\u2019s hands and feet have been placed in linen bags, embroidered with roses by children at Leicester\u2019s Richard III Primary School. With the King is a wooden rosary, emblazoned with an enamelled White Rose. The skeleton is covered by a raw linen cloth, embroidered with York roses, by Elizabeth Noakes, of the Richard III Society. The cortege officially departs Fen Lane farm. Close to Bosworth, this is where the battle was actually fought on August 22, 1485. Here Richard lost his crown and his life, when his army of 8,000 men was beaten by the Lancastrians, led by Henry Tudor. Archaeologists found more than 20 medieval cannon balls on the site. The cortege will be joined by two knightly figures on horseback in 15th Century armour. They include Dr Tobias Capwell, curator of arms and armour at the Wallace Collection. Richard\u2019s body arrives at St James\u2019 Church at Dadlington for prayers. Here many of the dead of Bosworth are buried. Henry VII paid for a chancery in the church. Following the cortege is the 19th Earl of Derby, descendant of Lord Stanley, Richard\u2019s Lord High Constable of England. He swung the battle by changing sides to support Henry, with his 3,000 men. Richard miscalculated Stanley\u2019s loyalty \u2013 surprising since Stanley was married to Henry Tudor\u2019s mother. \u2018Stanley had by far the largest army on the field,\u2019 said Lord Derby. \u2018But he was in a very difficult position. The pillow talk was all about helping Henry. Richard took Stanley\u2019s eldest son hostage and threatened to kill him. But Stanley said, \u201cSire, I have other sons.\u201d Luckily, Richard never got the chance to behead him.\u2019 After the battle, Stanley retrieved Richard III\u2019s crown from a hedge and crowned Henry VII on the battlefield. Henry rewarded him by making him Earl of Derby, calling him \u2018right dearly beloved father\u2019. Lord Derby is one of the ten \u2018Bosworth peers\u2019, whose ancestors fought at the battle, who will follow the coffin later today. The cortege stops at St James\u2019 Church, Sutton Cheney, where Richard heard his last Mass before battle. While his army camped the night before the battle on Ambien Hill, above Fenland Field, the King is said to have spent his last night on earth at Sutton Cheney Manor, which no longer exists. Among the VIPs will be Dominic Smee, of Channel 4\u2019s documentary Richard III: The New Evidence. By an enormous coincidence, Smee also suffers from scoliosis, the curvature of the spine that led Shakespeare to call Richard \u2018a poisonous, bunch-backed toad\u2019. Dominic learned to ride and fight in a specially made suit of armour and proved Richard could have been the great warrior of repute and that his scoliosis was hardly apparent when clothed. Richard arrives at the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre where the coffin will be transferred to a wheeled bier. Covered with Richard\u2019s Royal Standard, escorted by the two knightly riders, it will be drawn to the top of Ambien Hill for a Service of Commemoration. As well as invited VIPs, more than 2,000 people have bought tickets for the event. Battlefield re-enactment society members will have held a dawn vigil in medieval dress. There will be exhibitions of medieval warfare, falconry, cooking and other aspects of medieval life. There will be a minute\u2019s silence, then a 21-gun salute from eight medieval cannons. \u2018It\u2019s about reconciliation for the dead of both sides,\u2019 said the Heritage Centre\u2019s Richard Knox. \u2018And to allow Richard to return from the battlefield with the dignity and honour that he was denied in 1485.\u2019 The Battlefield Beacon will be lit \u2013 and it will burn until Richard is buried. The coffin is transferred back to his hearse. The knightly outriders salute their King, as the motorised procession sets off for Leicester. The procession follows the route Richard took in 1485, through Market Bosworth, including crossing into Leicester over Bow Bridge \u2013 over which Richard led his troops to battle. Legend says his spur struck the bridge, and an old crone prophesied his head would hit the same stone. On his return, Richard was slung naked over a horse, his hands tied together. Legend says that his broken skull did hit the same stone on the bridge. Trauma to his skeleton\u2019s pelvic bone showed that someone stabbed him in the bottom. Richard\u2019s procession arrives back in Leicester, over Bow Bridge, across which he led his troops 530 years ago. The coffin will be transported into the medieval St Nicholas Church, where prayers will be said. The coffin will then be transferred to a gun carriage drawn by four black horses and driven by a driver in traditional dress. Accompanying them will be Jenny Gilbert, of undertakers Adkinsons. \u2018We\u2019re not having plumes or drapes,\u2019 says Jenny. \u2018It\u2019s going to be simple. People said, \u201cIt\u2019s not going to look like the Krays, is it?\u201d \u2019Richard\u2019s cortege will then make its way to Leicester Cathedral. The remains of England\u2019s last Plantagenet King will arrive at Leicester Cathedral. His cortege, flanked by the two knights in armour, will be escorted into the cathedral by the \u2018Bosworth peers\u2019. The White Rose of York peers are the 18th of Norfolk, back from a family skiing holiday for the occasion; the 6th Baron Grey of Codnor; the Duke of Rutland; the 19th Viscount Hereford; and the Hon James Stourton, representing his brother, the 27th Baron Mowbray. The Lancastrian Red Rose peers are the Earl of Derby; the 6th Baron Raglan; 29th Baron Herbert; 11th Earl De La Warr; and representatives of the 18th Earl of Devon and 8th Baroness Bray. \u2018We\u2019ve got Red Rose and White Rose, for Lancaster and York, because this service is about reconciliation,\u2019 said the Dean, the Very Reverend David Monteith. The coffin will be borne by members of the Armed Forces, including two senior NCOs from the 1st Regiment Prince of Wales, 1st Battalion Regiment of Fusiliers, and Royal Warrant officer first class from the Scots Guards. Originally the Bosworth peers were going to carry the coffin \u2013 \u2018but it\u2019s lead-lined, so we thought it was too heavy,\u2019 said a cathedral spokesman.

On Thursday at 11am, England\u2019s last Plantagenet King will be reburied in a service conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Queen will be represented by the Countess of Wessex. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester will also be present, as will the \u2018Bosworth peers\u2019, the original ten now swollen by other Plantagenet courtier families, including the Duke of St Albans and Lord Scrope. Many others whose ancestors fought at Bosworth have been invited too after they were tracked down by Leicester University\u2019s Professor Kevin Schurer. It is hoped that actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who is Richard\u2019s nephew 17 times removed and who will be playing the King in the BBC\u2019s forthcoming series of The Hollow Crown, will be at the service. Richard will then be laid in a specially dug crypt in the centre of the cathedral, behind the altar. Overnight, his tomb, designed by the architects van Heinigen and Harward, will be constructed. The tomb is made of slick modern Swaledale fossil stone block, deeply incised with a simple cross slashed into the stone. On top of a slab of black polished granite, carved with Richard\u2019s boar badge, his coat of arms, is his motto \u2018Loyaulte me lie\u2019 \u2013 Loyalty binds me.

She is said to have agreed to help him with 'a favour' after she went to his home in St John's Wood, north west London, to ask for financial support for her business.

The procedure - which involves having parts of their vagina cut out and then then sewn back together again - is usually performed before a girl turns 12 and is carried out without anesthetic or sterilised equipment. Many of the girls are too scared to admit they have suffered FGM and can be stigmatised by their community for speaking out. Scroll down for video . Leyla Hussein is an FGM survivor who wants to prevent other girls suffering like she has . But a number of British victims have come forward to talk about their experience - and call for it to be stopped once and for all - in a new documentary for Comic Relief. Recalling the moment she was cut, one of the women Leyla Hussein, 32, from London, said: 'Your whole body is in pain, the scream that you scream meant I lost my voice for a couple of days. 'The moment your genitals are cut, a part of your soul dies.' Another British survivor interviewed for the documentary said: 'I don't think there's any word I can use to describe that moment. They grab you with a woman holding each leg and another holding your head and chest so you can't move.' The practice first began in ancient Egypt and remains a rite of passage in many African and Middle Eastern countries and some parts of Asia. Parents cut their daughters because they believe that this will allow her to be accepted into society and improve her marriage prospects. A girl who is uncut is often seen unclean and sexually promiscuous. The idea that FGM is necessary and makes a woman more virtuous and attractive is so ingrained in some communities that mothers who have endured it themselves - and continue to live with the physical and mental consequences - will still happily arrange for their daughters to suffer the same fate. Nimco Ali was subjected to FGM as a child and said many British girls are at risk . Leyla explains: 'The cutting season in the UK means holidays.

+{"article": "How did iron become scattered throughout Earth's 2,000-mile (3,200km) thick mantle more than four billion years ago? That's a question that has puzzled scientists, with most thinking asteroid impacts were the cause, but now a new theory has been presented - iron rain. By re-analysing the vapourisation point of iron, a study has determined that conditions on early Earth would have caused iron to rain down on the ground. Scientists in New Mexico have a new theory for the origin of Earth's iron. Research suggests iron would have turned into vapour when meteorites hit the young Earth, as shown in the artist's impression above. The vapour would then have drifted up in plumes, condensed and then rained down on the surface of our planet . The research was conducted with the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The machine is the most powerful producer of pulses of electrical energy on Earth. By studying the shock pressure required to vapourise iron, they found the value was 40 per cent less than previously thought. Astrophysicists say this lower pressure - 507 gigapascals (GPa) compared to 887 GPa - was easily achieved during the latter stages of Earth's formation. 'Because planetary scientists always thought it was difficult to vapourise iron, they never thought of vapourisation as an important process during the formation of Earth and its core,' said principal investigator Dr Rick Kraus. The researchers created a target - consisting of an iron plate 0.008in (5mm) square and 200 microns thick - against which they launched aluminum flyer plates travelling up to 16 miles (25km) per second. At this impact pressure, the powerful shock waves created in the iron cause it to compress, heat up and vapourise. The results showed that the vapourisation threshold for iron is 40 per cent lower than previously thought. 'But with our experiments, we showed that it's very easy to impact-vapourise iron.' The result of this would have been that a solid piece of iron, after impacting Earth perhaps as part of an asteroid, would disperse into an iron vapour due to the force of the impact. Earth is thought to have been pummelled by asteroids during the Late Heavy Bombardment period, 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago.

When it was announced on Tuesday that Sir Simon Rattle will be coming home from Germany in 2017 to run the London Symphony Orchestra, whoops of delight could be heard all the way from London\u2019s Barbican Centre, where the LSO play, to Menlove Avenue,Woolton, the middle-class suburb of Liverpool where Rattle was born 60 years ago. The most remarkable English classical musician since the celebrated Beecham, Rattle has scaled the highest peaks. Appointed CBE at the ripe old age of 32, he was knighted seven years later, and elected principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, the world\u2019s most formidable orchestra, at 44. Conductor Sir Simon Rattle is to join London Symphony Orchestra as music director . In an age of overpaid footballers and gruesome shows like The X Factor, an age when the mediocre wear garlands tossed by dullards, here is a man who has truly earned his laurel crown. When he received the weighty badge of the Order of Merit last summer (\u2018Don\u2019t try conducting with this thing on!\u2019 the Queen told him at the investiture) it was formal recognition that he belonged to the best of the best. Now the man who conquered the world is coming home to join our leading orchestra and, what\u2019s more, he sees his role not just as a conductor but as an ambassador, an educator, whose duty is to boost musical talent wherever he can. \u2018Frankly,\u2019 he says, \u2018what goes on in the primary school is going to be just as important as what goes on in any concert hall.\u2019 Knowing Rattle as I do, this was no throw-away remark. Talk of greatness is usually misplaced. There are never many truly great performers in any field. So when they do come along it is our duty to recognise the special gifts that lift them above the pack. We could call it the Federer distinction. Roger Federer is a great tennis player, perhaps the greatest; Andy Murray is merely very good. In the performing arts it can be difficult to describe what greatness looks like because, unlike in sport, there are no clear winners and losers. Over time, however, you have a sense of those who achieve it. Laurence Olivier, for instance, was a great actor. Rudolf Nureyev was a great dancer. Frank Sinatra was a great singer. And Sir Simon Rattle is unquestionably a great musician. Born on the same road in Liverpool as John Lennon, Rattle was at primary school when The Beatles took off like a rocket. No magical mystery tours for him, though. The Rattler, as he is known, was a bookish child, who played the piano and was later a percussionist in the National Youth Orchestra. \u2018I tried to interest him in cricket and football\u2019, said his father Denis, \u2018but he always", "summary": "Sir Simon Rattle to join the London Symphony Orchestra as music director . 60-year-old was born on the same road in Liverpool as John Lennon .

After months of negotiation, the Government failed to secure the crucial agreement to protect customers, as bank bosses justify branch closures by stressing the soaring popularity of online banking. The High street banks have agreed to new industry-wide rules setting out a series of steps they must take before closing branches. Blame it on the internet: As they refuse to commit to never closing 'the last bank in town', bosses justify branch closures by stressing the soaring popularity of online banking . But critics say they do not go far enough and will allow lenders to shut hundreds of branches across the country \u2013 even when there is no other bank in the community. Under the new regime banks will have to consult with local communities before any branch closure and ensure there are alternatives for customers such as free cash machines, \u2018mobile banking vans\u2019, and a local Post Office where they can sort out their finances. Existing rules stipulate that they have to go through this process only if they are closing the last branch in a town or village.

In total more than 500 branches are expected to be shut during the course of the year, with 210 closures announced so far. Of these 124 are the last branch in the community.

The question, at first glance, seems fairly simple: would you want to know your chances of getting cancer? In particular, whether you are carrying a faulty gene (or even several) that could make cancerous cells or a malignant tumour more likely. But when the opportunity arose to have genetic screening to find out if my DNA was flawed, this question merely triggered more: how would I cope if it turned out cancer was a near certainty? Though certain genetic tests are available on the NHS for people with a clear family history of a particular cancer \u2014 for example, if more than two members of your immediate family have had it \u2014 the private Spire Bushey Hospital, in Hertfordshire, has become the first to offer full screening for a range of cancers to people who may have had only one or two family members affected. Some genes they test for, in particular the faulty BRCA1 and BRCA2, have received a lot of publicity in recent years. Angelina Jolie discovered she carried a faulty copy of BRCA1, and singer Michelle Heaton found she had a mutated version of BRCA2. They opted for double mastectomies and hysterectomies to avoid the 60 to 90 per cent chance of developing cancer. But this new service screens for dozens of different genes linked to prostate, bowel, breast and ovarian cancers, which are among the most common in Britain, using \u2018next generation\u2019 gene technology to provide a full range of results within 12 weeks. There were various reasons why I decided to give it a go.

It was about an inch long, but we managed to remove it.\u2019 \u2018OK,\u2019 I replied from the fog of sedation. Though the tumour was benign, the doctor added: \u2018The type means that it would likely have become malignant. Had we not removed this, you could have been dead by 40.\u2019 Because such growths are rare for someone so young, I was told I would need to have colonoscopies every three years to (hopefully) catch any further abnormalities. Three years later, a scan found another polyp \u2014 smaller, benign, but still, more reason to worry. Another year on and I was lying in another bed, my own, when the telephone rang. \u2018They found some cancerous cells,\u2019 my father began.

Joe Hockey, pictured with his wife Melissa Babbage, revealed the distress an article caused his family whilst appearing in court on Monday . Mr Hockey has told the court he first became aware of the articles when he received a phone call from his press secretary shortly after midnight on May 5, 2014. When he awoke a few hours later he headed straight for his local newsagency in Canberra. 'I saw the front pages, I was stunned. And Matt the newsagent said, 'What's all this about?' I just shook my head,' Mr Hockey said. 'I went across to the bakery for one of their very ordinary cups of coffee and looked around, and the papers were everywhere.' Under questioning by his barrister Bruce McClintock SC, Mr Hockey said he felt 'absolutely devastated' at the suggestion he was corrupt. Earlier on Monday Mr Hockey's lawyers alleged that Fairfax published 'scurrilous and false allegations' against the treasurer in an act of petty spite.

He was subdued by police and metro staff after the train pulled into its next station. He had complained when interviewed about having too much stress in his life and said he wanted to get the death penalty, but also wanted to do something big before he died. Cheng was set to obtain a master's degree in business administration and international business from NCKU university in Tainan City this summer.

Yet the Black Caps will want to end the pool with a flourish and enter their quarter-final in the best possible frame of mind. Trent Boult, who has taken 13 wickets already this World Cup, appeals successfully for an lbw decision . On home soil, they have won all six of their previous one-day international meetings against Bangladesh but it is the Asian side that triumphed 3-0 when the teams last met on the subcontinent in late 2013. Boult told New Zealand Cricket's official website: 'Success is there for us when we are playing them in their own backyard but when we have travelled there we have struggled a little bit. 'They are full of some world class players and we know that they will be a tough candidate come Friday night.' New Zealand have won all five games so far, including beating co-hosts Australia, to secure top spot in Pool B . Boult has played a starring role in New Zealand's stellar start to the tournament with 13 wickets in five matches, including a spectacular five-for against Australia. It is quite an achievement for the 25-year-old, who had made just 16 ODI appearances before the tournament got under way. 'The success that we have been having has been pretty special and [this World Cup] is something that I will look back on and be really proud of,' he added. 'I am sure that I speak for the majority of the group there as well. A World Cup in my home country, it's not hard to get motivated for that.' Boult and the Black Caps attack have been unstoppable, but he says they won't take Bangladesh lightly . Another pillar of New Zealand's success has been the largely excellent starts they have made to their batting, thanks to opener Brendon McCullum's masterclass in power hitting. The Black Caps captain has made 249 runs at an average of just under 50 in his five matches and his staggering strike rate of 193.02 has laid the foundations for his side. Bangladesh spin bowling coach Ruwan Kalpage has admitted they have options to try and stifle McCullum. Bangladesh are already into the quarter finals after beating England on Monday to get out of the Pool stage . 'He has not had to start against spinners,' Kalpage told Cricinfo. 'It will be tough for us but we have plans for him as well. I'm pretty sure it will help the spinners.'

Athletic had been on a good run with two league wins and a cup semi-final victory and they were soon into their stride with forwards I\u00f1aki Williams and Aduriz stretching a Madrid defence under-protected by a midfield still missing Luka Modric who will not be back until midweek in the Champions League. When Athletic\u2019s goal came it was that midfield weakness that created the opening. Mikel Rico had all the time and space he wanted to cross for Aduriz and the on-form centre-forward rose to head home his 18th goal of the season. Isco should have got across to Rico more quickly.

Mohammed Emwazi's involvement with criminal gangs has emerged as a key staging post on his path to extremism and eventually to becoming the notorious executioner for the Islamic State. It has now emerged that his younger brother Omar, five years his junior, pleaded guilty to possession of stolen goods at Isleworth Crown Court in West London in August 2012. Guilty: Omar Emwazi - younger brother of Mohammed Emwazi, revealed last week as Jihadi John - pleaded guilty to handling stolen goods in 2012 . The 21-year-old received a community order for 12 months, 100 hours unpaid work and had to pay prosecution costs of \u00a3800. Emwazi's younger brother has previously posted his support online for radical preachers including Sheikh Khalid Yasin and Imran ibn Mansur, known as Dawah Man. Omar is also a member of a street preaching group called Power of Dawah, which supports the fundamentalist preacher Abdur Raheem Green, who preached to Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab, the 'Underpants Bomber'. A friend said Omar got into fights at school, and added: 'I don't think he was one of the brightest academically either, to put it politely. 'I know some of the most harmless people that are on dawah stalls. However, given his situation, I can see why that may ring some alarms.' Abdulmutallab pleaded guilty in 2012 to attempting to blow up a commercial plane on a would-be suicide mission for al-Qaeda. He was caught trying to board a plane on Christmas Day in 2009 with explosives stitched into his underwear, earning him the nickname the 'Underpants Bomber'. Dangerous: Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab (left) - better known as the Underpants Bomber - invited fundamentalist preacher Abdur Raheem Green (right) to speak at the University College London in 2005 . But the Nigerian was left badly burned when the bomb failed to detonate fully on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. He had previously invited controversial Abdur Raheem Green to speak while he was president of Islamic Society at University College London in 2005. Muslim convert Green has previously has been accused of supporting jihadism, and once proclaimed: 'Dying while fighting jihad is one of the surest ways to paradise and Allah's good pleasure' It was also revealed this week that Omar was a member of a group dubbed the 'Muslim mafia' in school and admired a controversial Islamic hate preacher. The 21-year-old is said to have supported Sheikh Khalid Yasin, who was lauded by Lee Rigby killer Michael Adebowale. Support: Omar Emwazi is said to have used Facebook to profess his admiration for Muslim hate preacher Sheikh Kalid Yasin (left), who inspired Lee Rigby's killer Michael Adebowale (right) to convert to Islam . Omar is said to have quickly taken down his Facebook page after his brother's new identity was revealed last week. He reportedly used the site to 'like' Sheikh Yasin, a preacher who has called the Taliban his 'brothers' and denounced both Christian and Jewish beliefs", "summary": "Omar Emwazi pleaded guilty to possession of stolen bicycles in 2012 .

The far-right party was predicted to make massive gains, but early exit polls put Nicolas Sarkozy's conservatives out in front.

Marine Le Pen gives a press conference after her hopes of becoming president of France suffered a huge blow in today's local elections . Guargaule's Mayor Charles Antoine Casanova counts votes during the first round of the French departments elections in Corsica . Election officials in Saint-Sebastien-sur-Loire count votes for the country's departments, or administrative regions . By 8pm, an hour after the last vote was cast, Ipsos put an alliance between Mr Sarkozy's UMP and the centrist UDI on 33 per cent, while the National Front (FN) was on 23.5 per cent, along with the ruling Socialists on the same figure. The figures made a mockery of Ms Le Pen's claims that her fiercely anti-immigration and anti-Europe party could mount a serious challenge for power. 'We'll get stuck into the regions and then we're off to invade the Elysee Palace,' the 46-year-old had said before the vote. At stake were 101 departments - or administrative regions - and 4,100 regional government seats. Ms Le Pen was certain that she could do better than the opposition conservatives and the ruling Socialists, who are performing appallingly because of the hapless government of President Francois Hollande. Ms Le Pen had positioned the National Front (FN) away from its overtly racist and anti-Semitic roots, and won 25 per cent of the vote at local and European elections last year. Sarkozy immediately ruled out any alliances between his party and FN candidates in next Sunday's second round. 'To those who voted National Front, we understand your frustrations,' the UMP chairman told supporters at party headquarters. 'But this party will not solve France's problems - it will only make them worse,' added the ex-president, who came out of retirement last year and hopes to secure the 2017 presidential ticket for his bitterly divided party in primaries next year.

+{"article": "When Jose Mourinho returned to English football in 2013, he produced a pair of spectacles from his pocket to claim it was the only thing that had changed in six years away from Chelsea. This time Mourinho has read the small print, carrying out Roman Abramovich\u2019s vision for his club to be self-financing and operating within UEFA\u2019s strict Financial Fair Play guidelines. They were rather more gung-ho in 2004, spraying money around Europe to sign some of the best talent in the game to make sure Chelsea cleaned up in Mourinho\u2019s first three seasons at Stamford Bridge. From July 1, 2004 to July 20, 2004, Abramovich splashed \u00a389million on seven players \u2014 including Petr Cech, Arjen Robben and Didier Drogba \u2014 in a whirlwind shopping spree. They finished the season with the title. Jose Mourinho won his first trophy since returning to England when Chelsea beat Tottenham on Sunday . The Portuguese manager has reduced spending at the club but has continued to bring success . Players like Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa have been brought to the club and proved a huge success . On Sunday evening, less than half an hour after John Terry had lifted the Capital One Cup, Chelsea\u2019s manager claimed the club are now operating in the \u2018third tier\u2019 of clubs. Financial Fair Play has become something of a hobby horse of Mourinho in recent months. He highlights the money-no-object strategies of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain while emphasising how Chelsea are working within strict, fiscal parameters. \u2018There are teams who don\u2019t care about FFP and are punished, but they play,\u2019 he added. \u2018Then there is a group, which Chelsea are in, the group who care about FFP.\u2019 Last week, City manager Manuel Pellegrini did not have the confidence to start Eliaquim Mangala, who cost \u00a332m last summer, alongside captain Vincent Kompany against Barcelona. After Chelsea collected the Capital One Cup, a trophy City won last season, Mourinho referred to \u00a311m signing Kurt Zouma, 20, as his \u2018Marcel Desailly\u2019 after a mature performance alongside Ramires in midfield. Whichever way you look at it, the numbers add up for Mourinho as he turns his attention to winning his third Premier League title. Chelsea sold defender David Luiz to Paris Saint-Germain for a staggering \u00a350million last summer . Juan Mata was a star player for Chelsea but when Mourinho arrived he sold him to Manchester United . Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku was sold to Everton for \u00a328m, giving Chelsea a considerable profit . The average age of his Chelsea team at Wembley on Sunday was 27 years and three months compared to the 28 of City, beaten 2-1 by Liverpool at Anfield earlier in the day. And Mourinho\u2019s squad looks the better long-term bet. Once a player has worn that blue shirt, there is an automatic premium, as Mourinho has used to great effect, whenever he decides to move them on. They made a profit of about \u00a318m on Romelu Lukaku, who made just 10 Premier League appearances for Chelsea, when he was sold to Everton before the start", "summary": "Chelsea more careful with their money since Jose Mourinho returned .

Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United are all monitoring the stylish 24-year-old who signed from Wigan in a \u00a313million deal. They each want a proven midfielder and McCarthy is on their lists as they assess summer targets. James McCarthy (right) has attracted interest from Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal this season . The midfielder, pictured in action against Arsenal on Sunday, joined Everton in the summer of 2013 for \u00a313m . McCarthy signed a five-year contract on summer deadline day in 2013 but is not one of Everton's big earners and the nature of the last-minute negotiations meant assurances were given that his deal would be revised as his Goodison career progressed. However, though other Everton players have since opened discussions over new terms, McCarthy has yet to be approached. Tim Howard, Seamus Coleman, Ross Barkley and John Stones all agreed new deals last year with manager Roberto Martinez, who himself signed a new deal last June, seeking to maintain a long-term core to his squad. Ross Barkley is one of a number of young players to have signed a new long-term deal with Everton . McCarthy has not been approached about a new contract despite his good form for the Toffees . McCarthy, a Republic of Ireland international, has matured into one of the most consistent Premier League players and shown his ability on the international and European stage. In Everton's 4-1 Europa League rout of Wolfsburg earlier this season he had a pass completion rate of 98 per cent. He is highly regarded at Everton and his influence on the team was sorely missed when he was out with a hamstring injury; in the 13 games Everton played without him, they won just one. Arsenal and Tottenham have both watched him since his return to the fold but were put off January bids knowing Everton would refuse all offers. Arsenal and Tottenham are still interested in Southampton's defensive midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin (left) Manchester United are considering McCarthy as an alternative to Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman (right) Everton's faltering season though has given them a sense a deal could be brokered in the summer. Southampton's Morgan Schneiderlin remains on their list of options too.

But his political career was in ruins last night as he suffered the shame of being suspended from the party over his self-serving plot to win votes by stirring up racial hatred. It is a spectacular fall from grace for a politician from a humble background who seemed set for high office with the Conservatives but is now a victim of his over-reaching political ambition. Amin was the first ethnic minority candidate to be chosen for this year\u2019s poll, and has been pictured alongside Prime Minister David Cameron, Chancellor George Osborne and the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. The 40-year-old has appeared on the BBC\u2019s flagship Newsnight programme four times and was praised when he spoke out against the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby by Islamists, insisting that Muslims were an \u2018integral part\u2019 of Britain. Despite his ambitions, Amin \u2013 who is married with two teenage children \u2013 has not been afraid to criticise Conservative Party bosses. Last year he admitted that many ethnic minority voters in his target seat of Dudley North, held by a Labour majority of just 649, think that the Tories \u2018remain a racist party\u2019. And he told a newspaper that British society and political leaders as well as community leaders must share the blame for the \u2018jihad generation\u2019 that is travelling to Syria to join murderous Islamic State. His high-profile position with the Conservatives and sought-after views contrast markedly with his humble beginnings. Amin was brought up in the deprived Black Country town of Smethwick, where the Tories had once infamously used openly racist slogans on election leaflets. He left school with practically no qualifications and took a series of menial jobs, including being a waiter, before going to university in London as a mature student.

Robert Durst's mumblings about how he 'killed them all' provided the dramatic kick to a documentary about the millionaire's troubled life and connection to three slayings, but it was words he penned that helped lead to his arrest on a murder charge, a law enforcement official said. Analysis linking a letter Durst wrote to his friend Susan Berman a year before her death with one he said 'only the killer could have written' to point police to her body was the key new evidence in the long-dormant investigation, a police source said. Durst, 71, was charged on Monday in Los Angeles with first-degree murder in the shooting of Berman, the daughter of a prominent Las Vegas mobster, back in 2000. He could face the death penalty under special circumstances that allege he ambushed her and murdered a witness to a crime. He waived extradition in New Orleans, but authorities there charged him late on Monday with being a felon in possession of a gun because he had a revolver when he was arrested there Saturday. He was also found in possession of a small amount of marijuana. Prosecutors believed that Durst was a flight risk after the revelations of the documentary and may have been planning to head for Cuba. He was found with fake IDs in his hotel room. However one of his lawyers, Chip Lewis, told The LA Times that his client had left his Houston home for New Orleans to escape the media and that he had called daily to check in with him, asking for him by name. It was not clear how soon Durst would be returned to California. Attorney Dick DeGuerin said outside court that Durst didn't kill Berman, and is 'ready to end all the rumor and speculation and have a trial'. Presented with the two letters in the finale of The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst that aired Sunday on HBO, the eccentric heir blinked, burped oddly, pulled his ear and briefly put his head in his hands before denying he was the killer. Then he stepped away from the tense interview and went to the bathroom, still wearing the live microphone that recorded what he said next. 'There it is. You're caught!' Durst whispered before the sound of running water is heard. 'What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.' That moment didn't just make for a captivating ending to the documentary on the eccentric life of an heir to a New York real estate fortune, it could also provide additional evidence for prosecutors. The official said the bathroom recording was not presented to prosecutors before charges were filed because detectives were still trying to determine if the recording was tampered with in any way.

Clinton, a likely Democratic presidential candidate, faced a Friday deadline to respond to a subpoena for emails and documents related to Libya, including the 2012 attacks in a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. The Benghazi committee demanded further documents and access to the server after it was revealed that Clinton used a private email account and server during her tenure at State. House Speaker John Boehner has not ruled out a vote in the full House to force Clinton to turn over the server if she declines to make it available by Gowdy's April 3 deadline. In a six-page letter released late on Friday, Kendall defended Clinton, saying she had turned over all work-related emails to the State Department. That included everything sent or received during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. 'The Department of State is therefore in possession of all Secretary Clinton's work-related emails from the (personal email) account,' Kendall wrote. Kendall also said it would be pointless for Clinton to turn over her server, even if legally authorized, since 'no emails ... reside on the server or on any backup systems associated with the server.' Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Benghazi panel, said Kendall's letter confirmed 'what we all knew: that Secretary Clinton already produced her official records to the State Department, that she did not keep her personal emails and that the Select Committee has already obtained her emails relating to the attacks in Benghazi.'

The Tottenham striker talked of \u2018pride\u2019 and \u2018honour\u2019 on Twitter after being named in the squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania next Friday and the friendly in Italy four days later. Kane, who has scored 26 goals for Tottenham this season, merits his place alongside England captain Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck.

He hasn\u2019t been in the squad before, but he has to show he belongs.\u2019 Beyond that, poor Kane discovered what it is really like to be a senior international when he was immediately caught in a club-versus-country row. First the background. The lure of the Aussie dollar has seen Tottenham agree to play Sydney FC on May 30, six days after the final game of the Premier League season. That same weekend, the England squad meet to prepare for a friendly against the Republic of Ireland on June 7 in Dublin, followed by the Euro 2016 qualifier in Slovenia on June 14. There is also a possibility that Kane, a regular in Gareth Southgate\u2019s Under 21 squad, will be selected for the European Championship starting on June 17. \u2018Playing for England at Under 21 level is more important than a friendly in Australia and I would be hypocritical if I didn\u2019t give that answer,\u2019 said Hodgson. \u2018This business about being tired \u2014 he\u2019s played quite a lot of games but he\u2019s not played any more than Wayne Rooney, Jordan Henderson, Joe Hart, Gary Cahill and lots of other players. \u2018If he needs a rest there\u2019s a great opportunity when the season ends, before our Under 21s get together.

Still, Tottenham were adamant on Thursday that Kane will travel to Australia to fulfil the Sydney fixture.

Deen, who recently lost 40lb after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2013, told People Magazine the recipes included will preserve 'the same delicious southern taste' she is known for. Todd McGarity, Hachette's vice president of client distribution services, said the company was 'thrilled' to be working with Deen and her 'trademark warmth and culinary flair', which are 'appealing as ever'. 'Her large, dedicated fan base is eager for more from her,' McGarity said in a released statement. 'And we are looking forward to continuing to build on her impressive sales.'

Women drank the most, between 4 and 7 drinks per week in their 40s, but lessened their drinking after 65, says research published in the Journal of BMC Medicine based on data from nine longitudinal studies in the UK. Frequent drinking (daily or most days of the week) became more common during mid to older age, most notably among men, reaching above 50 per cent of men, said the study. Men versus women: Men drink considerably more than women and at around age 25 peak at around 13 drinks per week whereas women peak in their 40s . Middle-aged men don't drink as much as men in their twenties but they tend to drink more regularly even in old age. According to the World Health Organization, Americans drink less than people living in the UK and up to 30 per cent of the US population doesn\u2019t drink at all. The study found that non-drinking in the UK was as low as 10 per cent and that it only rose to 20 per cent in those above 90-years-old. The Washington Post reports that low to moderate drinking, especially of red wine, is linked to health benefits and it's therefore not surprising that so many men drink into old age. However, prior research has documented that both heavy drinkers and nondrinkers have higher risks of premature death than their peers who drink in moderation. Some data linked to non-drinkers may be skewed because some non-drinkers may have chosen to stop drinking due to pre-existing health problems. Drink frequency: Men drink more frequently in older age than women but don't drink as much as they did in their 20s whereas women stopped drinking at around 65-years-old . The Post also mentions that alcohol is one of the most toxic substances that people consume and can often interfere with certain blood pressure medications that people take later in life. 'It raises concerns that [men] are becoming dependent on alcohol and there are risks in this age group mixing alcohol with medications,' said Dr Annie Britton at University College London, who carried out the study. One drink doubles someone's chances of going to the emergency room and is an even greater risk for drunk drivers who may crash their car while under the influence.

Hernandez was a teenage stock clerk at the convenience store where Etan was headed the morning of May 25, 1979. In hours of a videotaped confession, Hernandez calmly recounts choking the boy, putting his body in a bag and putting the bag in a box, then walking it down the street.

The robots (pictured), which are around the size of a human hand, have been developed by German engineering firm Festo . The robots, which are around the size of a human hand, have been developed by German engineering firm Festo. And they are capable of manoeuvring objects, hinting that such robots could one day replace humans as factory workers. The firm said: \u2018For the first time, the cooperative behaviour of the creatures has also been transferred to the world of technology using complex control algorithms.\u2019 The machines work together to complete difficult tasks, such as manipulating a large object, as real ants do in nature. They do this by using a stereo camera fitted in each robot\u2019s head which helps an individual ant locate and identify target objects. An ant can then pick it up using serrated grippers below its head. Sensors enable an ant to be aware of its surroundings and the robotic insects communicate over a wireless network to coordinate their actions. The robots have plastic, 3D printed bodies with electric circuits printed on top, (pictured) while their legs and grippers are ceramic actuators which can bend precisely and easily using little energy . \u2018Like their natural role models, the BionicANTs work together under clear rules,\u2019 said Dr Ing Heinrich Frontzek, head of future concepts at the firm. \u2018They communicate with each other and coordinate both their actions and movements. \u2018Each ant makes its decisions autonomously, but in doing so is always subordinate to the common objective and thereby plays its part towards solving the task at hand.\u2019 Amazon has launched a competition encouraging engineers to create its next generation of shelf-picking robots.

But the government provided photographs of the visit, including one of Valentina taking a selfie with the president, who is also a pediatrician. Valentina grabbed attention after posting on YouTube a video that appeared to have been shot from a hospital bed.

In an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, the girl's father, Fredy Maureira, said he supported his daughter's request, though he added that he 'cried through the night' after he first heard about her wish to die. 'This is so tough, but I have to respect her decision because she's the one who's suffering this illness,' Maureira said. Shortly after her video picked up attention online the Chile government rejected her plea. Presidential spokesman Alvaro Elizalde said Thursday that although 'it's impossible not to be overcome by emotion with the girl's request, it's impossible to grant her wish,' because it's not allowed under Chilean law. Elizalde said the health ministry was in contact with Maureira's family and was providing her psychological assistance as well as medical treatment.

Hornet's owner, Scott Dinger, said MacDonald should be charged with killing a protected species. Patti MacDonald of Hauser, Idaho, was charged with beating or harassing an animal after she allegedly beat a hunter's pet falcon (example pictured) to death with a beaded scarf in an effort to save a duck . Scott Dinger (seen with other falcon) thinks MacDonald's misdemeanor charge was not harsh enough . Dinger, who was hunting with Hornet at the time, was about 500 yards away when the bird of prey made a successful attack and landed with the duck. He said he was approaching the spot when he saw MacDonald's red Jeep Wrangler pull up. Hornet flew away but appeared injured and Dinger found him dead about an hour later, the Coeur d'Alene Press reported. The duck also died. According to Dinger, Hornet had been with humans since the day he was hatched. He said: 'They don't really know they are falcons. 'That was probably a part of his undoing because you could walk up to him and he wouldn't fly or try to get away.' The duck (example pictured) also died. MacDonald is facing up to six months in jail and a $5,000 fine . Dinger said it was tough to accept what happened because his bird was so young and falcons can live for about 30 years when they're with humans. He said: 'I had planned for Hornet to live longer than me.' Craig Walker, a regional conservation officer for the Idaho Fish and Game Department, said he received an anonymous call from a woman saying she tried to save a duck from a falcon.

Walker wrote in a report: 'The woman later stated that she had been very upset about the duck being injured, but felt bad about injuring someone's pet, because she 'beat the crap out of it really hard.'\" Kootenai County Prosecutor Barry McHugh said he reviewed Walker's report and determined the misdemeanor charge was appropriate. Beating or harassing an animal is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $5,000 for a first-time offender.

The Manchester United man was on hand to turn home after Israel goalkeeper Ofir Marciano pushed out Kompany's effort following Kevin de Bruyne's deep free-kick. De Bruyne came close to doubling the Red Devils' lead, but could only drill his 25-yard effort wide, with Israel's first clear chance not coming until just before the break as Thibaut Courtois kept out Tomer Hemed's shot.

The committee is trying to get to the bottom of allegations that two senior agents had been drinking when they drove into the area and nudged a construction barrier with their vehicle as they intruded on the investigation of a suspicious item. Chaffetz said the committee's top priority in its review of the incident is to ensure that the Secret Service keeps the president and his family safe. But he also wants the agency to be transparent. The Republican lawmaker said Department of Homeland Security, the parent organization of the Secret Service, 'requested that information remain secret and be kept from Congress and the American people.' 'Those restrictions are unacceptable. Under such restrictions, the Committee cannot perform its essential duties to evaluate and propose much-needed legislative reforms for this troubled agency,' Chaffetz said. Clancy has been criticized for the agency's handling of the incident and has complained that he was not told about it for five days, which he called unacceptable. He said he only learned about the misbehavior from discussions about an anonymous email that was circulating within the agency. The email described the off-duty agents as 'both extremely intoxicated' and confused about the investigation activity. It said uniformed Secret Service officers at the scene 'were going to arrest both of them, but the UD (Uniform Division) watch commander said not to.' Because Clancy was not made aware of the incident for several days, he was unable to keep surveillance footage that could have shed further light on the matter from being destroyed.

Democratic Senator Tick Segerblom is sponsoring the measure that would allow animal owners to get marijuana for their pet if a veterinarian certifies the animal has an illness that might be alleviated by the drug. Segerblom said he's concerned that some animals might have adverse reactions, but 'you don't know until you try,' he said. Pot for pets: Companion Cannabis, by Holistic Therapeutics, a Marijuana medicinal tincture for dogs and cats is displayed at La Brea Compassionate Caregivers, a medical marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles . Some veterinarians who have given cannabis to sick and dying pets say it has relieved their symptoms, although the substance hasn't been proven as a painkiller for animals. Los Angeles veterinarian Doug Kramer told The Associated Press in 2013 that pot helped ease his Siberian husky's pain during her final weeks, after she had surgery to remove tumors. Kramer said cannabis helped his dog, Nikita, gain weight and live an extra six weeks before she was euthanized. 'I grew tired of euthanizing pets when I wasn't doing everything I could to make their lives better,' Kramer told the AP. 'I felt like I was letting them down.' The proposal is in its earliest stages and faces several legislative hurdles before it could become law. Experimental medicine: Comapany Canna Companion claims that medical marijuana helped Kaley the cat who was suffering from arthritis pain . The pot-for-pets provision of SB372 is part of a larger bill that would overhaul the state's medical marijuana law, removing penalties for drivers who have marijuana in their blood and requiring training for pot-shop owners. Segerblom said he added the provision after being approached by a constituent. Senator Mark Manendo, a fellow Democrat and animal rights advocate, said he hadn't heard of the practice of giving marijuana to animals and is concerned about its safety. 'That gives me pause,' he said. 'Alcohol is bad, chocolate is bad for dogs.' His own dog died in his arms at age 15, and the experience was difficult and emotional, he said. New bill: Democratic Sen. Tick Segerblom is sponsoring the measure that would allow animal owners to get marijuana for their pet if a veterinarian certifies the animal has an illness that might be alleviated by the drug . But 'I don't know if I would've given him marijuana,' Manendo said. According to the website for Canna Companion,one of several existing marijuana supplement companies for pets, the drug is able to help pets with joint pain, anxiety, digestive issues, end of life care, neurological function, and immune system function. Dr. Sara Brandon ans Licensed Veterinarian Lisa Anderson turned to medical marijuana after traditional medicine failed to help their own pain and health issues and they turned to hemp supplements.

Just days after designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce called children born through IVF 'synthetic,' critics of the brand have publicized the brand's highly controversial Spring/Summer 2007 campaign ad that showed a woman being restrained by a bare-chested man as a group of men in various states of undress look on.

+{"article": "Host commentator . That's it from Sportsmail's live El Clasico Q&A. Thanks for following and thank you for some brilliant questions. Until next time! Pete Jenson: A lot depends on who makes a move and on how much they are willing to pay. If a club bid \u00a390million for Bale or \u00a365m for Ronaldo (bearing in mind he is 30), I think Real Madrid would consider it. Ronaldo because it would make economic sense and Bale because it would not be unpopular with Real supporters. They definitely won\u2019t sell both! And quite possible both will stay but it will be an interesting summer, especially if they win nothing and supporters are demanding an overhaul of the squad. Pete Jenson: The better players were in playing the Clasico and yet the best goal of the six that were scored came at Anfield from Juan Mata. I enjoyed both games. There were away fans in the Liverpool vs Manchester United game \u2013 that is something that is always missing from a Clasico. Pete Jenson: Fair assessment, yes. Ronaldo was as motivated as I\u2019ve seen him recently. Perhaps a week of talk about Messi being the greatest ever had contributed to that. He also helped set the tone of the first half with the at run at Alves as soon as he got the ball. He took his goal well and was one of those Madrid players who didn\u2019t deserve to be on the losing side. Messi had a strange night. He seemed to be staying out on Marcelo\u2019s wing because that is where there is usually plenty of space. But Madrid pressed so well he didn\u2019t see a great deal of the ball. He certainly didn\u2019t run the game as he did against Manchester City. But I agree once Modric and Kroos had faded in the second half he began to impose himself. Pete Jenson: It was the 42nd Clasico he\u2019d played some part in \u2013 no Barcelona player has played in more. What he always contributed was calm. By Spanish football standards Bar\u00e7a vs Madrid games are usually very frenetic and yet he always seemed to have an extra second of time and a extra yard of space. He\u2019ll come back to this fixture as Barcelona manager one day, you can count on it. Pete Jenson: The most shameful thing about it is that we have seen incidents in recent years of players collapsing on the pitch and sometimes even dying. So to feign serious injury is pretty unforgivable. I don\u2019t mind the roll-over-ten-times merchants so much because it has a certain comic value, but the hand over the face when actually you\u2019ve just been hit in the shoulder is very tiresome. Pete Jenson: He was poor in the first half and it was his miss just before Ronaldo equalised that made the game such a contest. He improved in the second half but I think sometimes the more frenetic and physical the game the more he tends to just get bumped around the pitch.

A super-strict headmaster has transformed behaviour at his secondary school by putting more than 300 pupils a day in detention. Tom Sherrington joined Highbury Grove School last September and immediately enforced a tough discipline policy, which was called \u2018Orwellian\u2019 by some parents. Automatic one-hour detentions were introduced for arriving late to a lesson or wearing uniform incorrectly. Disruption in lessons led to a full day in an isolation room. The approach led to \u2018huge numbers\u2019 in detention \u2013 more than 300 every day in the first week. Now, the figure is about 80. However, punctuality and uniform standards at the school in Islington, North London, have \u2018improved dramatically\u2019. The turnaround contributed to society magazine Tatler naming it one of Britain\u2019s best state schools this year. Writing in the Times Educational Supplement, Mr Sherrington said: \u2018Standards continue to improve; behaviour is not yet impeccable but we\u2019re well on the way. \u2018More and more students are prepared to admit that they like it; the school is still a happy, friendly, supportive place \u2013 but now they can get on with learning and teachers can get on with teaching in a way that wasn\u2019t always possible before.\u2019 When he started at the music specialist school there was a feeling among staff that approaches based on \u2018restorative justice hadn\u2019t really worked\u2019. This trendy discipline method in many schools involves taking a no-blame approach to bullies. Mr Sherrington wrote: \u2018The perception was that it had created a need for constant negotiation, enacted inconsistently across the school because of a lack of clarity around the rules and the consequences of breaking them. \u2018Several teachers who left last summer even cited behaviour as a reason. It wasn\u2019t terrible in general, but some classes were just too hard to teach. Clearly I needed to act.\u2019 In January, Tatler magazine said the school, pictured, had been transformed by 'a brilliant new head' Pupils were given a set of coded warnings and consequences, so they had to make a choice between meeting standards or \u2018sit a detention\u2019. Mr Sherrington said: \u2018After 15 weeks, the impact has been clear. Uniform standards and punctuality improved dramatically almost overnight: Students run into school now instead of dawdling and 99 per cent have perfect uniform. Teachers are extremely positive too.\u2019 He admitted the early weeks were \u2018tough\u2019, with parents complaining about the detentions. Some critics said it was \u2018draconian\u2019 for pupils to sit in silence for an hour. But others urged him not to change the strategy. In January Tatler said the school was \u2018transformed\u2019 with a \u2018brilliant new head\u2019 who was keen on \u2018impeccable behaviour\u2019 and \u2018details\u2019 including top buttons being done up at all times.

Stephanie Sigman, one of Mexico's rising stars, was recently unveiled as Bond girl Estrella, appearing alongside Italian Monica Bellucci, who plays Lucia Sciarra. The Mexican actress, 27, is best known for her role in the award-winning Mexican film Miss Bala, in which she played a beauty queen forced to do a gang's dirty work after witnessing a murder. In addition, Mexico also asked that an assassination target in the film, the Mayor of Mexico City, be changed to an international leader, The Telegraph reports.

Stephanie Sigman will be the first Mexican-born Bond girl on the big screen, but not the first overall. Mexico's Linda Christian - the original Bond girl - starred in the 1954 television adaptation of Casino Royale. The movie's alterations were reported by US website Tax Analysts, which provides information on tax news, based on emails leaked in last year's Sony hacking scandal.

The body of the female adult bottlenose, named Graze, was discovered in the Port River, north of Adelaide before Christmas last year, but was only examined this month by scientists. South Australian Museum senior research scientist Catherine Kemper said four shotgun pellets were found in the dolphin's body after she was found in the Barker Inlet area. 'It appears Graze did not die immediately after she was shot,' Ms Kemper told Daily Mail Australia. One of the four shotgun pellets was found on the deceased body of female adult bottlenose named Graze . Graze pictured a decade ago when she was first sighted in 1992 by a Whale and Dolphin Conservation group . 'She was emaciated, and there were signs of disease that may have been related to the shotgun pellets entering her body. 'We believe she died within weeks or even months. The shooting wasn't a primary cause of death but it was a secondary - something else followed after she was shot.' Dr Kemper said there had been about 10 dolphins discovered dead after being shot in Adelaide waters since 1998, despite all mammals are protected by law. 'We're more annoyed and concerned than sad,' Ms Kemper said. 'It's distressing to think someone would injure one and we don't know why they're doing it - either intentionally or accidentally but it's animal cruelty because it's not really a nice thing to do. 'It's an illegal act. We're more concerned and we want to make sure people are obeying the law. 'I also understand that the local people have not been happy with it either so I suspect someone will make a report soon if they see anything suspicious.' South Australian Museum senior research scientist Catherine Kemper (right) dissecting another dolphin . Ms Kemper said it was animal cruelty for a dolphin to be shot with a gun . Whale and Dolphin Conservation group Dr Mike Bossley first sighted Graze in 1992 and had since followed her movements and monitored her behaviour ever since. 'It is clear that despite the implementation of the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary in the area, these dolphins are still under threat,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 'It is important that more resources are put into the sanctuary to improve its effectiveness.' Dr Bossley said when he first identified Graze, she had suffered a major wound across the top of her back but fortunately, she survived and went on to have a number of calves. But this was not the first time a dolphin was killed by a shotgun in the local waters. Two dolphins were killed in the Barker Inlet in 1998 and the calf of one of these died shortly afterwards.

One witness said the cop told Hill to go inside otherwise he was going to get arrested, but was shot when he started running toward Olsen and ignored orders to stop. On Wednesday, the former soldier's girlfriend Bridget Anderson revealed he was being treated by a Veterans' Association (VA) doctor for bipolar disorder but stopped taking the medication a week or two ago because he didn't like the side effects, including stiffening in his jaw.

The images, which show the peak in the third week of March each year between 2011 and 2015, reveal how swiftly snowfall has depleted year to year. The snow is typically at its deepest in the area in late March and, as seen in the 2011 photograph, it previously covered peaks including the Half Dome. But this year, the fourth consecutive year of drought in California, the 9,000-foot peak doesn't bear a single flake of snow. Earlier this month, officials reported that the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which gives an indication of upcoming water supply, is just five per cent of its normal depth - and barely above the record low set in 1991. The lack of water comes after the winter of 2014 was the hottest on record for California. Scroll down for video .

In response, state regulators voted earlier this month to impose a new set of water conservation rules, such as bans on watering yards and stopping restaurants serving customers water unless they specifically ask for it. Farmers have said they expected to leave as much as a million acres unplanted, nearly twice the amount of last year, the New York Times reported. 'It looks like we are on our way to the worst snowpack in history,' state climatologists Michael Anderson told the Times. 'Unless we end up with some particularly good snows here in March, we are going to end up with a new lowest rank here.' But the Half Dome peak is likely to stay clear of snow because there are no major snowstorms forecast for the rest of the month. Earlier this month, the United States Department of Agriculture noted that as well as California, droughts are ravaging Nevada and Utah and also parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington and Oregon. The photographs were taken by the Yosemite webcam provided by Yosemite Conservancy, which is funded by donations.

Launched in South Africa today, where one in six women are the victims of abuse at home, it features a model wearing the Roman Originals dress in white and gold. The Salvation Army in South Africa has adopted the dress for its newest campaign against domestic violence . Capitalising on the garment's notoriety, the tag line reads: 'The only illusion is if you think it was her choice. One in 6 women are victims of abuse. Stop abuse against women.' It also carries the logo for Carehaven, a home for abused women and their children. Since being posted this morning the image has been shared thousands of times online.

Twitter users praised the campaign with thousands retweeting the image and sharing their views online . Internet sensation: This picture of the dress sparked debate, with millions disagreeing over the colour . When aspiring singer Caitlin McNeill uploaded a photograph of a dress to her Tumblr blog, the 21-year-old thought it would do little more than serve as a source of light entertainment for friends. But within hours of sharing the image millions of people and the world's rich and famous were discussing its subject. The question on everyone's lips was: is the dress black and blue or white and gold? Celebrities offered their input while memes mocking the debate flurried. Soon #TheDress was the number one hashtag on Twitter and was being poured over by millions. While it was determined once and for all that the dress was indeed black and blue, the company has since produced a limited edition white and gold number. According to scientists the reason so many viewed the dress differently is down to genes, lighting and a person's age. True colours: This photograph of Cecelia Bleasdale in 'the dress', left, with daughter Grace Johnston and son-in-law Keir Johnston, reveals that the frock is royal blue with a black lace trim .

The endangered kitten, who has not yet been named and is being cared for at the Lowry Park Zoo, has just began to open his eyes and hasn't even taken his first step. And when zoo staff members wash him in the sink and feed him with a bottle, he's as cute as ever. The ten-day-old clouded leopard kitten, who has yet to be named, is being fed and watched over by staff at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida . Staff members said he has barely opened his eyes, has yet to walk and will be watched 'round-the-clock' for the next few months . The kitten is given 'round-the-clock' care where he'll be fed and watched after for about three months by staff, according toFOX Tampa Bay. He is expected to start walking in about two weeks, and zoo staff will determine his future home in the next few weeks. Four-year-old clouded leopards Yim and Malee were paired as potential mates in 2011, when they arrived at the zoo, by the Clouded Leopard Species Survival Plan, which supports the conservation of the endangered animal. They then conceived their first born - the kitten who was born this month. Vice President of animal science and conservation at the zoo Dr Larry Killmar said the birth 'signifies a milestone accomplishment' for the conservation programs. 'Species survival programs for animals like the clouded leopards take years of planning, development and staff commitment. The kitten will contribute to the long-term viability of our conservation efforts within the managed population,' Killmar told FOX. The kitten is expected to start walking in a couple weeks. He is the baby of two four-year-old clouded leopards at the zoo who were matched as potential mates in 2011 by a conservation group .

But when it turns on next week, some scientists are betting the Large Hadron Collider will detect something just as exciting; a parallel universe. This is according to a new study that claims miniature black holes - a key sign of a 'multiverse' - could be detected in Cern's LHC in Geneva. Scroll down for video . It has found the 'God particle', and could soon reveal a mysterious force known as 'dark matter'.But when it turns on next week, some scientists are betting the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva will detect something even more exciting; a parallel universe . The Rainbow Gravity theory suggests that gravity's effect on the cosmos causes different wavelengths of light to behave differently. This means that particles with different energies will move in space-times and gravitational fields differently. The theory was proposed 10 years ago in an attempt to reconcile difference between the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics. One consequence of rainbow gravity is that our universe stretches back into time infinitely with no singular point where it started. 'Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects (breath and length) can exist in a third dimension (height), parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions' Mir Faizal from the University of Waterloo told Dailymail.com. 'We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.' Professor Faizal and his team have calculated the energy at which they expect to detect these mini black holes in gravity's rainbow, according to a report by Lisa Zyga at Phys.org. 'If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity's rainbow and extra dimensions are correct,' added Professor Faizal. When it's activated, the energy with which the LHC smashes particles together will be twice what it was during the time when it made the discovery of the Higgs boson. Billions of particles flying off from each LHC collision are tracked at Cern detectors to establish when and how they come together and what shapes they take. The Cern theoreticians say this could give clear signs of dimensions beyond length, breadth, depth and time. At such high energy gravity many be even tracked disappearing into them. Parallel universes can exist within these dimensions, the thinking goes, but only gravity can leave our universe into these extra dimensions. If extra dimensions do exist, the study suggests that they would lower the energy required to produce black holes which the LHC could pick. Professor Faizal suggests the reason these black holes have yet to be detected is because our current model of gravity gets modified at very high energies. According to Phys.org, in the latest study, the new theory of gravity's rainbow has been used to account for why the LHC has not yet found tiny black holes. The new theory of gravity's rainbow has been used to account for why", "summary": "Scientists predict gravity can sometimes leak into an extra dimension .

Initially, Leesa, 45, who lives in Norwich with Lee, 49, a school caretaker, and their son Ashlee, 12, thought the problem was probably caused by a wax blockage and would correct itself within a few days. But when it didn\u2019t, a week after her first symptoms she went to see her GP and was referred to an ear, nose and throat consultant. The specialist dropped a bombshell \u2014 she had lost the hearing in her right ear, possibly for good. \u2018At that point I became very tearful. I was so worried my hearing would never return,\u2019 she says. Leesa, a finance assistant, was even more overwhelmed when doctors could not explain why it had happened. Leesa is one of up to 6,000 adults a year estimated to develop idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, or unexplained hearing loss, that usually develops suddenly, or within three days, usually in one ear. Often, sudden hearing loss can be attributed to infections, certain medications, head injuries and meningitis, because these can all affect the inner ear. But in some cases, such as Leesa\u2019s, there is no clear explanation. The hearing organ, the cochlea, is found deep in the inner ear. It is filled with fluid \u2014 when soundwaves enter it, the fluid moves and tiny hair cells then trigger signals to the auditory nerve, which passes the signals to the brain. These are recognised as sounds, allowing us to hear. Sensorineural hearing loss is down to problems in the inner ear or with the auditory nerve. The other type \u2014 conductive hearing loss \u2014 occurs when something has physically blocked transmissions of sound, such as wax. \u2018Eighty-five per cent of the time no one ever knows why sudden sensorineural hearing loss occurs because we can\u2019t get to the inner ear to examine it without risking damaging it, or damaging the brain,\u2019 says John Phillips, the consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Foundation Trust who treated Leesa. The most popular theory is that it\u2019s caused by a virus damaging the nerve in the inner ear. Another is that a blood clot blocks a blood vessel that leads to the inner ear. A benign tumour on an inner ear nerve may also cause sudden hearing loss \u2014 but this is rare. Whatever the cause, losing your hearing suddenly can be \u2018very traumatic\u2019 says Mr Phillips. \u2018Hearing loss usually occurs in one ear so people get scared it will happen in the other ear, too. They often get balance problems because the inner ear contains the balance organ, the labyrinth, too.

Researchers found they were linked with a reduced risk of death from heart disease among people on low incomes. And they believe their findings suggest peanuts may be a cost-effective measure to improve cardiovascular health because they are so cheap. However experts cautioned today that salt-covered nuts would not have the same health benefits. Scroll down for video . Nuts reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke - and could be an easy, cost-effective way to prolong life . Nuts are rich in nutrients and peanuts, although classified as legumes, have nutrients similar to tree nuts. The new study, led by Dr Xiao-Ou Shu, of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Tennessee, analysed various groups of people. One involved 72,000 low-income black and white men and women living in the US, the other 134,000 men and women living in Shanghai, China. In both groups, men ate more peanuts than women. In the US group, about half of the nuts consumed were peanuts, and in the Chinese group only peanut consumption was assessed. Catherine Collins, Principal Dietitian at St George's Hospital NHS Trust, said: . 'Research over the past few years has shown heart-health benefits of including nuts and legumes (like peanuts) as part of a varied diet. 'This is probably because nuts and peanuts contribute a valuable source of protein, dietary fibres, healthy fats, vitamins B1, B6, folic acid, vitamin E, magnesium and zinc to the diet. Although almost half the weight of a peanut is fat (48%), the majority is of the heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated types. Studies where nuts have been added to the diet (such as the European PREDIMED study), and long-term population studies have consistently shown a reduction in death from heart disease when nuts and legumes are included in the diet. The researchers found that across the board, eating nuts reduced the risk of death from heart disease. This was regardless of gender, race, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption and conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. In the US, the highest consumption resulted in a risk reduction of 21 per cent. In the Chinese group, it was 17 per cent. Dr Shu said: 'We observed no significant associations between nut or peanut consumption and risk of death due to cancer and diabetes.' She added the findings highlight the large public health impact of nut or peanut consumption in lowering deaths from heart disease - especially given their affordability. The research was published in JAMA Internal Medicine. Dr Mitchell Katz, deputy editor of the journal, added: 'Of course, peanuts are not really nuts - they are legumes since they grow in bushes, unlike tree nuts.

'Photos of the officer's pistol are on my right. As you can see, the slide is partially engaged and a round had been partially ejected and has fouled the firing chamber.

The teenager, who cannot be named, was made a ward of the court at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London today. A judge made the ruling after social services at Brighton and Hove City Council raised fears that the boy could follow in his brothers' footsteps and travel to the war-torn region. The teenager, who cannot be named, was made a ward of the court at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London (pictured) today. Social services feared he could follow in his brothers' footsteps . Barrister Martin Downs, representing the council, told the court that three of his brothers had gone to fight for the al-Nusra Front - a group with links to al-Qaeda. Two had died in their teens and the third had been wounded but was still fighting in Syria. A friend of the teenager had also been killed in fighting. Mr Downs added that his family had an 'extraordinary history' and he also had an uncle who had been held in United States' detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The ruling prevents the teenager, who has dual Libyan and British citizenship, from leaving England and Wales. Mr Justice Hayden, who said the four fighters could not be named, added: 'The local authority's anxiety here is that (the teenager) may wish to follow the path which his brothers have walked.' He also heard that council staff had learned that family members were making plans for the teenager to go on a trip to Dubai during the Easter holiday. Mr Justice Hayden said he was concerned to 'keep this lad alive' and said an order which barred from travelling abroad was proportionate. '[The teenager] is a vulnerable young person. He has grown up in modern Britain in an extraordinary family - a family where the male members are patently committed to waging Jihad in war-torn Syria,' he said.

+{"article": "Financial accounts for QPR show their 'real' losses last season were almost \u00a370million - a figure that still leaves them facing a fine of more than \u00a350m. The Football League's complex Financial Fair Play rules are designed to discourage rich owners buying success and endangering the health of their clubs. A tariff of fines is in place for clubs that massively overspend. Earlier this month QPR announced they had made a loss of \u00a39.8m but the accounts filed at Companies House now prove the smaller loss figure was only possible because of the owners, mainly Tony Fernandes, writing off \u00a360m of old loans in an 'exceptional item' in the accounts. QPR owner Tony Fernandes was among those to write off \u00a360million of old loans to the London club . QPR's players get put through their paces in training ahead of Saturday's game against Crystal Palace . Q: Queens Park Rangers accounts for 2013-14 have now been filed in detail at Companies House. What do they show? A: They show that the club\u2019s \u2018true\u2019 losses for last season were \u00a369.8m, instead of the \u00a39.8m declared by the club earlier this month. They used an accounting method, an \u2018exceptional item\u2019, to count a \u00a360m write-off of loans to the owners as effective income. Their real income was \u00a338.7m. Q: Why does this matter? A: Because if clubs lose lots of money in the Championship, where QPR played last season, they face potential \u2018Financial Fair Play\u2019 fines from the Football League. The FFP rules are in place to stop clubs \u2018financial doping\u2019 and stop them spending themselves to bankruptcy. To simplify: clubs that massively overspend, and lose lots of money as a result, face fans which grow in relation to the overspending. Q: How much fine do QPR face? A: If they\u2019d really lost only \u00a39.8m last season, the fine would have been tiny, perhaps not even a million pounds. But if the real loss is \u00a369.8m, the fine could be as high as \u00a358m, and is likely to be at least \u00a350m. That would be the biggest fine on any club for any reason in global football history. Q: Who will decide? A: Lawyers, probably. The parties are locked in talks about what happens next. Q: What do QPR say? A: No comment. Effectively, QPR counted that \u00a360m write-off as extra income. But that money is noted in the accounts as being a 'related-party transaction' - and the Football League's own FFP rules explicitly rule out that related party moves of the kind QPR have undertaken. The League rule out such moves in order to prevent 'artificially' lowered losses. A QPR spokesman told Sportsmail: 'We have no comment.' A Football League spokesman reiterated an earlier League statement that the League remains in talks with QPR about the situation, but won't add details. If the League ultimately rule that QPR's 'real' losses are \u00a369.8m, then the FFP fine they potentially face will be \u00a357.9m.

When international illusionist Keith Barry introduces an extraordinary new Generation Game-type TV show tonight, viewers will see what happens when the contestants who are competing to win pots of money are given bizarre instructions under hypnosis. They end up doing the most mind-bogglingly embarrassing things \u2013 to the extent that while your toes do curl for them, you have to remind yourself that they have willingly volunteered to make fools of themselves. Hypnotist Keith Barry with five contestants on ITV's new show You're Back In The Room . Hosted by Phillip Schofield, ITV's You're Back In The Room pits five hypnotised strangers against each other as they take on apparently simple game-show challenges straight out of Bruce Forsyth's 70s heyday, such as making balloon animals and doing impersonations of pop stars. The twist that brings it into the 21st century Hunger Games-style arena is when Keith \u2013 who's already hypnotised them \u2013 then sabotages their chances of winning by telling them to do the weirdest things. So for example, when a clutch of five contestants is asked to make sculptures out of clay, one is made to believe that the clay is a miracle face cream, while another is certain it smells of dog dirt. A third is convinced she really is a mad French sculptor, a fourth that everyone else's sculptures are obscene and the final one, when triggered by hearing that famous Unchained Melody song, believes he's Patrick Swayze in the amorous pottery scene from the film Ghost. Of course the question of how safe it is to play with the volunteering contestants' minds like this, and just how humiliating the results are once all inhibitions are removed, is going to make this one of the most controversial shows ever. Keith, an Irish hypnotist and magician who has appeared on stage and TV all over the world and also uses his technique to help people overcome phobias and shyness, admits even he wasn't quite sure what would happen. Kate Cook, with host Phillip Schofield, believes her sculpting clay is face cream after being hypnotised . 'They were like greyhounds coming out onto the track, ready to accept any suggestion I gave them,' he says. 'But I was a bit worried they might run amok because while Phillip is on stage at all times, I'm not. So even though the contestants couldn't see me I still felt I had a duty of responsibility to keep control over their behaviour. 'Hypnosis is about shutting down the conscious mind and re-igniting the unconscious and the imagination, so while I give instructions to them under hypnosis the contestants might interpret those instructions in all kinds of ways. For example, 60-year-old contestant Carolyn was a polite and gentle soul off-camera, but after hypnosis I could get her to do anything. When she was told to be a frustrated French sculptor, she got very, very angry. Phillip", "summary": "You're Back In The Room is hosted by Phillip Schofield .

The organisation has come up with a plan to transform the World Heritage site into 364 affordable flats in a bid to save taxpayers money and relocate Parliament to - Hull.

Daily Mail Online reported Clinton's take in 2014, amounting to slightly less than $1.14 million per year, based on a paper from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS). That amount is still less than George W. Bush's $1.18 million annual haul. But since Clinton has had an eight-year head start, his overall benefits are the highest by far, totalling $15,938,000 since he left the White House in January 2001. His disbursement each year from the General Services Administration includes $96,000 for salaries; insiders told Politico that some of that money has been passed through to staffers at the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

The foundation also insisted the Bill Clinton's personal funds, not taxpayer dollars, paid for the now-infamous private email server that his wife Hillary used exclusively while secretary of state. Mrs. Clinton said Tuesday during a contentious press conference in New York City that the former president set up the server for his own staff's use, and she began using it later. As she ramps up for a presidential campaign, critics have piled on with accusations that she intentionally avoided using a government-issued email address while she was the nation's top diplomat in order to hide electronic communications from State Department archivists. But she insisted on Tuesday that decision was made purely for 'convenience.' The larger question raised by Politico is whether it's appropriate for tax dollars to subsidize the salaries of nonprofit employees while their work is leveraged to support a potential presidential candidate. While Bill Clinton has received more post-White House cash overall than any other living former president, George W. Bush\u2019s annual numbers are the highest . The Clinton Foundation is now Hillary's principal political messenger in the public sphere.

Intimidating behaviour (B and D) may explain the monkeys' depression . Previous studies have used rodents, which 'do not realistically resemble the etiopathological [causal] development of depression, which occurs naturally in a social context,\u2019 according to the study, published in Nature. Researchers at Chongqing Medical University, China, and Wake Forest University in North Carolina, examined depression in cynomolgus macaque monkeys living in social colonies at Zhongke Experimental Animal Co. in Suzhou, eastern China. The cause of depression in some cases, appears to be down to bullying behaviour by dominant members of the colonies, such as intimidating and even attacking lower status monkeys. Each colony was made up of two males and approximately 20 females as well as their offspring, reflecting how they would live in the wild. Twenty females showing symptoms of depression, such as no interest in food, grooming or mating. Dominant behaviour is marked with red arrows, above and depressed monkeys with blue arrows. Feeding: The depressed monkeys spent less time eating and drinking than their healthy peers. Behaviour: They spent less time resting on elevated perches such as shelves and hanging chains, which are favourites with healthier and more dominant monkeys. Movement: Depressed subjects spent more time sitting on the floor and less time walking around. Grooming: The sad monkeys spent less time grooming each other and being groomed, which is a sign of sociability in healthy monkeys. They also spent less time taking care of themselves, by scratching, for example. Nursing: They also nursed their infants less than healthy monkeys. A total of 52 colonies were observed and 1,007 female monkeys screened for depression, Real Clear Science reported. Twenty females showing symptoms of depression, such as no interest in food, grooming or mating, were chosen and compared to 20 \u2018happy\u2019 monkeys and 10 that had been kept in isolation and were also thought to be depressed. The researchers found that the naturally depressed and isolated monkeys behaved in a similar way, such as \u2018stereotypical prostrated and socially unresponsive posture as well as exacerbation of socially submissive behaviours,\u2019 the study said. Naturally depressed monkeys displayed a slumped posture, less interest in feeding and sex and diminished communication and reciprocal grooming with others. 'One to two subjects per stable social colony (17\u201322 subjects) manifested a depressive phenotype that may be attributed", "summary": "Experts from universities in China and North Carolina studied monkeys .

Oliver Gobat's body was found in the passenger seat of his car in April last year, burned beyond all recognition on a remote track on St Lucia's exclusive Cap Estate - less than two miles from the luxury hotel his family owned. The popular businessman - who was born on the island, but raised in Surrey - had been shot twice in the head before the car was set alight, in what is thought to have been an attempt to destroy any forensic evidence. Killing: Oliver Gobat was shot twice in the head, before his car was set alight on a quiet road in St Lucia . Shock: Family and friends were stunned by the killing of the popular businessman, born on the island . Jealousy: Mr Gobat, 38, ran the luxury Cap Maison - and was involved in a \u00a35.4million deal for another resort . The killing left family and friends - including Carol Vorderman - stunned, but an inquest into his death has revealed Mr Gobat received death threats in the run up to his murder. The inquest, being held in Working, Surrey, heard that Mr Gobat was helping to organise the \u00a35.4million ($8million) takeover of The Landings, a luxury beach resort on St Lucia which had become insolvent. But a rival bidder organised a 'smear campaign' against Mr Gobat, and the 38-year-old had received death threats - which he hid from his family. Mother Helen Gobat told the hearing: 'He was the victim of a smear campaign. 'There was a blog set up called Pirates of the Caribbean. It was intended to damage his reputation. 'We subsequently learned he had received death threats.' His brother Adam - who said Mr Gobat was a very likeable person - added: 'It transpires that the person who was behind the smear campaign was a rival bidder to buy The Landings. 'That person is a UK citizen.' The victim's brother also revealed that after The Landings deal was completed following Mr Gobat's death, another signatory to the consortium received a death threat. Threats: Mother Helen, pictured with husband Theo, told an inquest there was a smear campaign against him . Success: 'He's a good looking, successful chap in St Lucia and it's a small community so there's a lot of jealousy that goes around,' his mother told the inquest in Woking, Surrey . Anger: The family have also been left frustrated with the lack of progress made by local police into the case . Mrs Gobat told the coroner her son, who had worked on St Lucia for 10 years before his death, had probably never expected anyone to kill him over his business dealings but admitted there was likely to have been 'jealousy' towards his success on the island.

Earlier this week, Zuckerberg was forced to fend off complaints that his hugely popular social network was getting a free ride out of telecom operators who host its service on smartphones. He was confronted with tensions between Internet giants such as Facebook and Google and telecom firms present at the Mobile World Congress, the world's biggest wireless phone fair, in Barcelona. Executives have complained that some Internet services' smartphone applications generate revenue while it is the telephone companies that are forced to invest in the networks that host them. The Wall Street Journal on Sunday quoted Denis O'Brien, chairman of international wireless firm Digicel Group, as saying: 'Mark Zuckerberg is like the guy who comes to your party and drinks your champagne, and kisses your girls, and doesn't bring anything.' Zuckerberg later defended himself in an appearance at the congress alongside the heads of several telecom companies with which he is working to launch smartphone Internet access in developing countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia.

The independent inquiry into baby deaths within University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust will show that the scale of the scandal was much worse than previously feared. It had been thought that 16 babies and two mothers had died as a result of shambolic care over nearly ten years at a maternity ward within Furness General Hospital in Cumbria. Tragedy: Joshua Titcombe was nine days old when he died from an infection that should have been treated with antibiotics at Furness General Hospital, Cumbria . But after highlighting concerns in around 50 cases, investigators are expected to conclude that neglect contributed to even more deaths. Health officials have tried to cover up their failure to properly investigate poor patient care on the unit. Despite multiple warnings about failings between 2001 and 2012, the Care Quality Commission gave the hospital a clean bill of health in 2010. The failure to strike off any nurse, doctor or midwife working at the hospital has enraged victims\u2019 families. Concerns were first raised in September 2008 when Joshua Titcombe, who was nine days old, died from an infection that should have been treated with antibiotics. His father James said it was \u2018appalling\u2019 that nobody has been disciplined for the failings that led to the deaths and described the accountability process as \u2018ridiculously slow\u2019. Up to 30 babies and mothers died at Furness General Hospital because of failings by midwives and doctors, a damning report is expected to reveal . Mr Titcombe said: \u2018It\u2019s been six years since Joshua died and we have should been finding out about [the care failings] at the time. It\u2019s a sign of how closed and secretive the NHS was. \u2018We were faced with obstacle after obstacle which is an indictment of how the NHS was run at the time. \u2018What happened to protecting mothers and babies? The timescale is a disgrace.\u2019 He said there was no reason why culpable nurse and doctors could not have been held to account before the report was published. A number of midwives from the hospital are due to face the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) later this year in relation to deaths at the hospital. Grief: James and Hoa Titcombe lost their baby son Joshua in 2008 . Mr Titcombe added: \u2018For Joshua to have died in 2008 and the NMC\u2019s processes to still be ongoing is absolutely appalling. How can that be protecting mothers and babies? \u2018There has been a real failure in the way the professional regulators have worked.\u2019 The independent inquiry into the trust, expected to be published next month, was finally ordered by ministers due to mounting concerns over the deaths of at least eight mothers and babies. While officials continued to cover up the extent of the hospital\u2019s problems, a police investigation was eventually launched after repeated complaints from victims\u2019 families.

This is a huge game for England's players - but they are not an arrogant group and will look to perform well . Scotland go through their paces at Twickenham on Friday - it's an important game for them to restore pride . England forwards coach Graham Rowntree talked about the home side being able to \u2018win by many\u2019 if they get their game right. I have absolutely no problem with him saying this privately to his players, as it is true. And putting pressure on them in public is an effective way to add pressure and focus. But sometimes saying something this provocative makes him and his team a hostage to fortune and feeds the stereotype that England are arrogant, which I don\u2019t believe we are. In his youth the brilliant French back rower Imanol Harinordoquy used to employ similar tactics and I'd chuckle, knowing how characters like Lawrence Dallaglio, Neil Back and Martin Johnson would react.

It\u2019s time for them to look in the mirror, regain composure and forget the old stereotypes.

This England team is not arrogant - in fact, in many ways I\u2019d like to see them carry themselves more confidently to demonstrate self-belief - and Hogg\u2019s comments were wide of the mark.

'It contributes to providing better infrastructure and better communications quality between the people and our two countries,' it said. The move marks a historic shift in U.S policy, which aims to bring an end to half a century of Cold War tensions. The lines were originally cut after American phone companies refused to pay a 10 per cent tax on calls between the two countries. But President Barack Obama declared the end of America's 'outdated approach' to Cuba in December, announcing the re-establishment of diplomatic relations as well as economic and travel ties with the communist island. At the time he said: 'Isolation has not worked. It's time for a new approach. 'We will end an outdated approach that, for decades, has failed to advance our interests.' Around two million Cuban-Americans are thought to live in the U.S. and many families rely on phone calls to stay in touch.

Havana residents use public phones to make calls in December 2000.

Virtually all home connections remain illegal and getting online at government centres is very expensive, as they charge between $2.50 and $4.50 an hour.

He has not yet decided what to do with the area of the building where the Police Scotland helicopter crashed. He said: 'It's difficult, it's taken me a year and a bit to even get to this stage. Maybe in six months, maybe in a year, I'll know better what to do with this. 'Obviously, when we get people back in and the music starts again, we'll get a better idea of what we can do. 'The name will stay. The Clutha, before the accident, was pretty famous anyway, so the name will always stay. The Clutha means the Clyde and we're right next door to the Clyde, so we'll retain that.' He added: 'Obviously in its day it was a pub that was really happy and it was always a good pub, there were never any issues in it, so it's got a feeling now where it's strange, I could take a long, long time to figure out what to do with it.'

The New Zealand Herald reports that in July the council of Dunedin City, on the South Island's east coast, will begin an initial programme where the two gangs can apply for basic community work - such as mowing lawns, trimming hedges, and cutting back foliage. Both the Mongrel Mob and Black Power have shared a violent rivalry spanning decades. The gangs have been involved in drug trafficking, alleged murder, and robbery - but last year the gangs surprised everyone by suddenly making peace, not war. The council of Dunedin City, on New Zealand's South Island, will begin an initial programme where the two gangs can apply for basic community work . It's a very different kind of work than they're used to, but the gangs have joined forces in a submission to the Dunedin City Council, asking for help in acquiring paid work to support their families. 'It's remarkable they're working together. They've had a long history of just shooting each other,' Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull said. 'But I think they're both beginning to realise that violence won't provide them much of a future anymore.' Rather than shoot and knife each other the proposal was put forward for them to work together as an employment solution for gang members who were struggling to support their families, and steer them from a life of crime. The Mongrel Mob and Black Power gangs have been involved in drug trafficking, alleged murder and robbery . Mayor Cull explained that as the men approach middle age they've found their reputation and appearance have prevented them from finding traditional and regular employment. In response to concerns that work is being spoon-fed to gang members and that there are others more deserving of the chance, the Dunedin City Council said it will ensure that both Mongrel Mob and Black Power have to meet standard expectations.

Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was initially smuggled out of Aden just hours after the Shiite rebels' own TV station declared the capture of nearby strategic airbase and arrested the country's defence minister. The air base is only 35 miles from Aden, where Hadi had established a temporary capital since fleeing Yemen's Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa last month. U.S. and European troops were also based there while advising the government on how to tackle Al Qaeda militants in the country.

Already, Hadi has asked the UN to authorize a foreign military intervention in the country. The takeover of Aden, the country's economic hub, would mark the collapse of what is left of Hadi's grip on power. It would also open a new chapter in the Houthi-Saleh alliance and possibly pave the way for more infighting. Aden was tense this morning, with schools, government offices, shops and restaurants largely closed. Inside the few remaining opened cafes, men watched news of the assault on television. Since the morning, there were conflicting reports on Hadi's whereabouts. Witnesses said they saw a convoy of presidential vehicles leaving Hadi's palace on top of a hill overlooking the Arabian Sea. A second convoy was seen heading to the Aden airport, where flights have been halted amid the Houthi advance.

Over the course of a gruelling nine-hour operation, surgeons meticulously removed 10 organs from Jenny Ramage's cancer-ravaged body. One by one they worked to rid the then 32-year-old's abdomen of a rare and aggressive cancer invading her stomach cavity.

Of the 17 pet foods subjected to DNA testing at Nottingham University, 14 contained meats that were not spelled out on the can. As good as it looks? 63 per cent of meat detected in Bakers As Good As It Looks Succulent Stew \u2018with beef\u2019 was chicken and 22 per cent was pork. Only 15 per cent was beef .

Having taken stick all game from Derby fans who once cheered him, he revelled in celebrating his defining contribution. Too right. Patrick Bamford celebrates as the Chelsea loanee strikes to earn Middlesbrough all three points . In the 64th minute the hosts were caught attempting to play the ball out from the back.

Aptamil is investigating a complaint that some of its baby milk might be linked to an 11-week-old boy getting food poisoning. Laura Stevens found 50p-sized blood spots in her son Roman's nappy and took him to the doctors. He was sent to hospital where he remained for a week with constant diarrhoea and a temperature. Doctors said he had a campylobacter infection but could not give a source. Miss Stevens, a first-time mum, said the only food she had given her son was Aptamil milk powder - but the company's initial quality checks have come back clear.

'I was gobsmacked, his insides had swollen from the food poisoning and the blood was the bacteria trying to get out of his little body.' The insurance worker said Roman was left lethargic and pale while he was in hospital. The strain of bacteria is commonly found in meat and poultry. While Aptamil is investigating she has stopped giving Roman the product and switched to a different milk product. Miss Stevens, who lives with Roman's dad Luke Embling, also 30, added: 'As a first-time mum, I started panicking when I saw the fresh blood, it didn't stop for nearly a week and the diarrhoea was constant. 'I was terrified he was bleeding internally or I'd done something wrong in pregnancy. I didn't know what to do.' Aptamil confirmed it is investigating and said it had not had any other complaints.

After failing to find a suitable donor to save Cansen's life, his parents decided to have a second baby . Cansen's parents tested themselves and other relatives, but the search for a suitable donor proved fruitless. After learning that a brother or sister would be a possible donor, Cansen's parents decided to have a second baby. But with China's tough one child policy in place, his father Wang Jiyong and mother Liu Chunping had to apply for special permission to have a second baby - which was granted. And they were delighted when doctors told them that their new baby daughter Wang Fanyin, born on January 13, is a suitable match. Cansen (pictured with a volunteer from the blood bank) says he'll protect the sister who saved his life forever . Despite his age, Cansen is well aware that his illness is life-threatening and that his baby sister was born to save him.

The operation is now scheduled to take place later this month. Stem cells taken from blood and tissue in the umbilical cord can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including various forms of cancer. Cord blood and cord tissue stem cells are considered to be one of the most promising sources of future medical treatments. The first successful cord blood stem cell transplant to treat Fanconi's Anemia took place in 1988.

And this is making life more difficult for them when they enter the jobs market, where rewards are primarily based on what they know, says the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Their diligence and obedience in the classroom is often \u2018rewarded\u2019 with higher marks, while many boys are \u2018punished\u2019 with poor marks for being disruptive. It may mean marks reflect good or bad attitudes to studying, but not necessarily aptitude. The OECD warned that girls who may do better in the short run at school could be \u2018penalised\u2019 in the labour market later on. It called on teachers to review their own \u2018gender biases\u2019 and consider whether marking girls up was really helping them. Andreas Schleicher, the OECD\u2019s director for education and skills, said that even when girls and boys do similarly well in reading and maths tests, girls get better marks. Teenagers with a strong belief in their abilities are more likely to be successful in Britain than in any other country, the study also showed. Those youngsters who were self confident scored higher in maths and science tests, according to analysis by the OECD. And although the pattern is replicated across the world, the effect is more marked in the UK compared to any other country. Meanwhile the research also showed that even though girls outperform boys overall in schools, they are still lagging behing when it comes to maths and science. The report warned: 'What emerges from these anayses is particularly worrying. 'Even many high-achieving girls have low levels of confidnece in their ability to solve science and mathematics problems and express high levels of anxiety towards mathematics.' \u2018Maybe in the short run, you get a better school certificate,\u2019 he said. \u2018In the long run, the world is going to penalise you because the labour market doesn\u2019t pay you for your school marks, it pays you for what you can do.\u2019 Teachers consistently give better results to girls than boys, even when they perform similarly in the international Pisa tests, which are run by the OECD. The study, based on data from tests taken by 15-year-olds in maths, reading and science, looked at gender differences in education. It said: \u2018Girls\u2019 better marks may reflect that they tend to be \u201cbetter students\u201d than boys: they tend to do what is expected of them, thanks to better self-regulation skills, and they are more driven to excel in school.\u2019 Children who play computer games regularly do better than their peers at school, the OECD research also suggests.

On Wednesday, another hearing was held at institution where Castonguay is imprisoned. Holcomb's niece Maria Weinberger read a letter from his widow, Nancy Holcomb Searles, who was too distressed to attend. 'Castonguay should remain incarcerated for the remainder of his natural existence,' Searles said in the letter. 'He showed no regard for life, nor any remorse for his crime. Even today, he continues to fabricate the facts of that night in order to suit his needs and somehow excuse his heinous act.'

+{"article": "Jamie Carragher has hailed the impact of Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who put a first-half error behind him to help the Blues to victory against Hull City. Chelsea went 2-0 up through Eden Hazard and Diego Costa, but Hull pulled level after Courtois gifted possession to Abel Hernandez just before the half-hour mark. And Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports after the game, thinks that despite his error, there are few goalkeepers as good as the Chelsea man. Thibaut Courtois made an error in the first half to gift Hull their equalising goal against Chelsea . Courtois gave away possession under pressure from Gaston Ramirez to allow Abel Hernandez to score . 'He had a bit of a mix-up in the first half,' the Sportsmail pundit said. 'He's a world class goalkeeper to keep Petr Cech out and what he did last year for Atletico Madrid, getting to the Champions League final. 'He's a fantastic keeper and he's going to be one of the world's best for a decade or so.' Speaking alongside Carragher was former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, who was in agreement at Courtois' excellent game despite the high-profile error. 'Before the mistake, he made a couple of saves that kept Chelsea in the game,' Henry noted. 'But it's not about the mistake, it's about how you respond, and he responded well in the second half.' Chelsea's 3-2 win took them back to winning ways after a draw against Southampton last time out, and restored their six-point gap ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Jamie Carragher (left) and Thierry Henry hailed Courtois' impact in the second half to save Chelsea . Courtois made a string of saves, including three in quick succession, to help Jose Mourinho's side to victory . Their win at Hull was far from convincing, but according to Henry, getting three points in the manner Chelsea did is a mark of their winning mentality. 'Big teams will do that to you,' he said. 'Three attempts on target, three goals. It sounds simple, but that's what Chelsea are about. 'Hull were unlucky in the second half on a couple of occasions, but that's what a big team does to you. They come here, they don't really perform well, they find themselves in a difficult situation, and they managed.' One negative for Mourinho will be the injury to Diego Costa, which forced him off with 15 minutes to play holding his hamstring. Carragher thinks Courtois (pictured) will be one of the world's best goalkeepers for a decade . Carragher and Henry also believe that Chelsea's title hopes will remain successful, even without Diego Costa . Chelsea's strike force is such that Costa's absence is unlikely to be a devastating blow, and the presence of Remy in the latter stages actually forced a winner for the league leaders. 'It looks like a hamstring injury and we know his history from the Champions League final,' Carragher said of Costa. 'If it is a hamstring injury, if Remy has to come in, he's come on there [against Hull]", "summary": "Chelsea went 2-0 up against Hull but were pegged back to 2-2 .

At least Cipriani had a win to savour, although the Sale fly-half finished Sunday's game in the sin-bin. For Gloucester captain Twelvetrees, it was a miserable result on a miserable day in Salford. Danny Cipriani kicked five out of five to help Sale Sharks to a comfortable victory over Gloucester . Both men had come off the bench as England thrashed France in the Six Nations finale only to miss out on the title again, but there was no residual goodwill as they clashed three minutes from time at the AJ Bell Stadium, before Cipriani was yellow-carded for a deliberate knock-on.

It was wet and windy and chilly and Sale were more pragmatic and clinical in the difficult conditions. Gloucester had been in Tenerife for a week of warm-weather training, which wasn't ideal preparation for an arm-wrestle contest in the North West. After enjoying the sun, David Humphreys' side caught a cold and yet another defeat in this fixture has left Gloucester stuck in ninth place in the Aviva Premiership table. They continue to punch below their weight. The first half was grim fare. James Hook struck two penalties for the visitors but Sale snatched a try in the 22nd minute when Samoa centre Johnny Leota managed to ground the ball against the base of a post after Andrei Ostrikov had been held up short.

+{"article": "Two neighbouring ancient craters thought to be have been formed by the same impact event are now thought to have been created by two separate asteroids. The extremely unlikely formation theory was reached after scientists re-analysed rocks at the site, and found dates for the two were vastly different. While both had been thought to be 285 million years old, it now appears one of the craters is actually 450 million years old but, by chance, was created in almost exactly the same spot. Scroll down for video . The two Clearwater Lake craters in Canada may not have been formed by a binary asteroid. Its thought the East crater asteroid impacted a marine environment during the Ordovician period, 490 million years ago. The West crater was created in the Permian period 285 million years ago and impacted the landmass Pangaea . Researchers from the University of Western Australia say the Clearwater lakes in Canada were formed by two separate events in a 'pure coincidence'. The remarkable finding, if confirmed, has important implications for other so-called 'doublet' craters in the solar system, previously thought to be formed by binary or multiple rocks impacting at the same time. And the huge difference in time between the two events is even more amazing as, at the time the first crater was made, the location of the second was underwater. The research was published in the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta and reported by Astrobiology Magazine. Impacts that leave behind a 62-mile (100km) diameter crater or less, such as those that struck the Clearwater lakes, are widely thought to have no global effects. In fact, impacts can even increase biodiversity. For example, the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event, which saw an explosion in the number of animal species around 470 million years ago, has been linked to frequent impact events at the time. This is possibly due to the fact that an impact could disrupt local life just enough to let another species dominate, or because slowly cooling craters can provide habitats for life. Even if the Clearwater Lakes impacts were caused by a double impact, the extra energy released by two bodies smashing into the Earth simultaneously would have had no significant effect on life. While the fireball and earthquake would have decimated any life within a few hundred kilometers, the impacts were not big enough to cause much chaos on a global scale. The Clearwater lakes in Canada are a pair of lakes labelled as West and East. The smaller eastern crater is about 16 miles (26km) in diameter, while the western crater is about 22 miles (36km). In the original theory, a binary asteroid - two asteroids orbiting a common centre of mass - struck the ground simultaneously 285 million years ago. But the researchers say the original methods used to date the East lake, by measuring amounts of argon-40, were inaccurate. Upon analysing new samples at the site, they found a maximum age of 460 million years, far older than the West Clearwater Lake, which is 285 million years old.

Another third of gay male pupils said they left school without being taught anything about HIV or safe sex, despite a spike in infections nationwide. A survey by the National Aids Trust (NAT), which quizzed more than 1,000 gay or bisexual men aged 14 to 19, also found that more than half had experienced some form of discrimination. More than half of gay teenagers said they had been bullied at school. While 99 per cent said they had been targeted by a classmate, 39 per cent said their tormentor was a teacher or adult (file image) Of those 99 per cent said they had been targeted by another pupil, while 75 per cent said they received online abuse, reports The Independent. However, another 39 per cent said the bullying had been at the hands of a teacher or another adult at their school. Deborah Gold, the chief executive of NAT, said: 'It's an incredibly high number. 'The idea that teachers or other adults at school are sometimes responsible for bullying and discrimination is utterly unacceptable.' The survey also showed a worrying lack of education among young men about the spread of HIV and safe sex, despite them being in the most at-risk group in the UK. Two thirds of those surveyed said they had not been given information about testing for the killer virus, while a third were given no information about the spread of HIV. Another three quarters were also unaware of the drug PEP, which can help prevent infection if it is given to a patient within three days of them being exposed to HIV. A third of teenage boys said they had been given no information on HIV or safe sex, while two thirds said they didn't know how to test for it, despite being in the most at-risk group (pictured, the HIV virus) Three quarters of pupils also said they had been given no information on same sex relationships during sex educations lessons. Ms Gold added: 'The number of young men who have sex with men who are contracting HIV is increasing.

Mahmudullah followed up his century against England on Monday with another ton against the Black Caps . Trent Boult snared both, knocking over Kayes' off stump and inducing an edge from Tamim which was snapped up by Corey Anderson at second slip to send the bowler back top of the 2015 World Cup wicket-takers' list. Soumya Sarkar (51) and Mahmudullah steadied the ship with a 90-run third-wicket stand, before the former bottom-edged a Daniel Vettori delivery to Anderson at long-on. Anderson then got in on the action with the ball, accounting for the wickets of Al Hasan (23) and Mushfiqur Rahim (15) - both caught behind by Luke Ronchi. Sabbir Rahman contributed 40 and Nasir Hossain 11 before falling to Grant Elliott in the final three overs. Nasir Hossain drops a catch that would have dismissed New Zealand's Daniel Vettori .

Mr Robinson, who announced in February that he was undergoing treatment for lung cancer, said an operation to remove it had gone well and 'normal service will be resumed as soon as possible'. Writing in a blog on the BBC's website, the 51-year-old thanked doctors and nurses at the Royal Brompton and Royal Free Hospitals for looking after him. He said: 'I am now beginning a course of chemotherapy to try to stop the cancer even daring to think of returning. I'm also working to restore the strength of my voice after the op.

Carcinoid tumours are actually cancers of tissues that produce hormones and send messages, called the neuroendocrine system. They can occur in numerous organs. Two-thirds appear in the digestive tract, a quarter in the lungs, and others in the pancreas, kidney, ovary and testes, according to Cancer Research UK.

Dr Keith Prowse, medical adviser to the British Lung Foundation, said while bronchial carcinoid tumours were malignant, they tended to be less aggressive than other forms. He said: 'I've had ten or a dozen patients who have had it removed successfully and are still around, some of them older than I am. The majority are cured by surgery. 'It's often possible to remove the tumours completely, because they tend to grow inside the air passage rather than into the lung.'

+{"article": "A while ago, I visited a Hampshire nursery which raises more than four million orchids a year. It was like a slow-motion factory; tissue-cultured plantlets came in at one end, flowering specimens trundled out of the other, each in a posh ceramic pot. Orchids, particularly Phalaenopsis (moth orchids), have become Britain's favourite houseplant but most die within weeks. That should not happen. Moth orchids are easier to nurture than indoor cyclamen or poinsettias and, with care, they can flourish for years. But it helps to know a little about this weird plant group and to understand its special needs. Hardy beauty: Moth orchids (pictured) need gentle treatment to produce glorious blossoms . More than 22,000 species of orchids make up Orchidaceae, the world's largest flowering plant family. About 50 are native to Britain, and the common spotted orchid grows in my own tiny flower meadow. With such a huge range of habitats, orchids' needs differ widely. But once you learn the likes and dislikes of popular houseplant orchids, it's not hard to keep them happy. KNOW THEIR NEEDS . Phalaenopsis, like many cultivated orchids are epiphytes, meaning that they grow in bark crevices in forest trees. They subsist on rain or mist, and nourishment comes from debris lodging in the tree bark, so their sparse roots are as important for clinging on as for absorbing nutrients. In a pot in your house, the orchid needs to think it is in a tropical forest. That means a minimum 16 degrees Celsius ambience, humidity and good light. To boost humidity in spring and summer spray rainwater on to the leaves from an atomiser (if possible always use rainwater warmed to room temperature). In winter, move your orchid closer to an east or west-facing window and the extra light will encourage flowering. The commonest cause of death is overwatering. To avoid that, imagine the orchid perched up a tree, soaked by rain from time to time but drying out in between. Cram the roots into wet compost and it will die. That is why it is best to grow epiphytes in slatted containers or transparent, perforated orchid pots and to allow the prehensile roots to poke into the air. During the growing season, feed monthly with special orchid feed. But in winter, reduce watering and do not feed. HANDS-ON MANAGEMENT . Phalaenopsis should last for about three months but, when they fade, you can persuade the old stem to sprout again. Feel it carefully for swellings (nodes) near the base. They are dormant buds. If you cut the stem just above the second node from the base, a new flower spike should develop. Repot your orchid only if it has become pot-bound or has been in the same compost for more than two years. Do that when the pale roots develop green tips; a sign the plant is ready to repot. Use special epiphytic orchid compost \u2014 it will appear coarse and lumpy and is available at good garden centres.

A sex attacker molested four teenage girls then claimed he did not know what he was doing because he was fasting for Ramadan, a court heard today. Shamsul Islam, 33, sidled up to girls as young as 15 on empty buses and trains across east London then sexually assaulted them. When one of his victims confronted him he said 'I'm sorry, I'm fasting, I don't know what I'm doing,' Snaresbrook Crown Court was told. Islam, from Barking, pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual assault, and was sentenced to three years in prison - after which he will be deported to his home country of Pakistan. Judge Sheelagh Canavan branded him 'a danger to society'. Sentencing him to three years' imprisonment, Judge Canavan described him as a \u2018serial, sexual pervert' and called for him to be removed from the country as soon as possible. She said: \u2018Your devotion to your religion is only convenient to you when it gives you an excuse for your sexual misconduct. \u2018You are not a national of this country, and the sooner you are removed from the country the better.

Prosecutor Karl Masi said: 'The defendant got onto the train and sat down beside [the first victim] - even though there were plenty of empty double seats on the carriage. 'The victim noticed Mr Islam was rubbing his elbow up against her. She tried moving away but the defendant kept moving closer to her. He would look away whenever she tried to look at him. 'At one point, after the defendant had got up and sat back down again, the victim felt him touching her stomach and looked down to find his hand under her top. 'When she challenged him the defendant got up and moved.' The second assault, on a 15-year-old girl, happened on a bus in mid-afternoon a few days later, the court was told. The teenager boarded the bus and immediately felt uncomfortable because Islam had been staring at her at the bus stop. 'There were other double seats available yet the defendant chose to sit next to her,' Mr Masi said. 'He was staring at her before moving his arm and touching her right leg with his hand. He then tried to get his hand under her top and on top of her leggings.' The third attack, which happened on another bus the same day, left the 16-year-old victim 'paralysed with fear'. Islam sat next to her, before using his fingers to caress the girl's stomach and moved his hand down to her shorts.

It confirmed that it will create a new version of the 4x4 and also said the existing model will continue to roll off the production line. But amid announcements of the firm's \u00a3600million investment in the UK it said neither model would be made in Britain. There had been rumours that a factory would be created in Coventry, possibly to build the revamped Defender. Manufacture of the current version of the all-terrain vehicle, first made in 1948 and one of the first cars owned by the Queen after she came to the throne in 1952, is due to end in December after a series of special editions roll off the production line. But it is understood that the new model will be built abroad. A spokesman for Jaguar Land Rover, owned by Indian industrial giant Tata, said: 'We will create a new version of the Defender but no decision has been made on where it will be built or when.' Commenting on the future of the existing model, the spokesman added: 'We are investigating the possibility of maintaining production of the current Defender at an overseas production facility for sale outside of the EU, after we cease building in the UK.' This could mean it being built at Jaguar Land Rover's factories in Brazil or China. Three-quarters of the two million Defenders built since launch are still in regular use. A prototype of the new generation 4x4 was unveiled in 2011, and yesterday's announcement brings it a step closer. But at the heart of Jaguar Land Rover's current plans are a \u00a3400million revamp of its Castle Bromwich site in the West Midlands, including a \u00a3320million body shop to manufacture the XF, the new all-aluminium sports saloon. The remodelled car was launched earlier this week with a dramatic stunt \u2013 being driven on wires over water in London's Docklands. Jaguar Land Rover also said it was doubling the size of its advanced design and engineering centre in Whitley, Coventry, at a cost of \u00a350million, 'to support the company's creation of high-technology, ultra-low emission vehicles'. The plans are expected to create thousands more jobs on top of the 32,300 people the firm already employs in the UK. Jaguar Land Rover is also funding a \u00a3150million research complex \u2013 the National Automotive Innovation Centre \u2013 in partnership with Warwick University. Chief executive Dr Ralf Speth said the venture demonstrated its 'unwavering support to the British automotive industry'. He added: 'This investment, made here in the heart of our UK business operations, signals the confidence we have in this region to support the creation, engineering and manufacture of ultra low-emission, premium British products.'

Saturn\u2019s rotation period - the time it takes to rotate once around its axis - has been notoriously difficult to estimate in the past because of the planet\u2019s unique properties. But using measurements of the ringed planet\u2019s gravitational field combined with its shape and density, scientists have determined a more exact value for a day on the planet. Scientists in Israel have revealed a new estimated rotation speed for the ringed planet (shown). Previously it was thought to rotate in 10 hours, 39 minutes and 22 seconds. But new figure of 10 hours, 32 minutes and 45 seconds is more accurate. This is based on measuring its gravitational field, shape and density . The research was carried out by scientists at Tel Aviv University in Israel. Radio measurements by the Voyager spacecraft had estimated Saturn's day at 10 hours, 39 minutes and 22.4 seconds in the 1980s. In 2006, astronomers used more advanced equipment to measure the planet's rotation ending up with a measurement of about 10 hours and 47 minutes. But an estimate that was 12 minutes shorter in 2009 only added to the confusion. Mercury: 58 days and 15 hours . Venus: 243 days . Earth: 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds . Mars: 24 hours, 39 minutes, 35 seconds . Jupiter: 9.9 hours . Saturn: 10 hours, 32 minutes and 45 seconds . Uranus: 17 hours, 14 minutes and 24 seconds . Neptune: 16 hours, 6 minutes and 36 seconds . The new method, though, provides what might be the most accurate reading so far. Gas giants - such as Saturn and Jupiter - do not have solid objects on their surface that allow their rotation period to be observed, so other methods of finding this property must be found. The same formula came up with the correct rotation period of Jupiter - which was already known owing to its tilted magnetic field. Saturn\u2019s magnetic pole is aligned with its rotational axis and this means - unlike Jupiter - its rotation period cannot be calculated using the magnetic field alone. But verifying the method with Jupiter allowed scientists to apply the same technique to Saturn. Alternative methods such as measuring Saturn\u2019s radio emissions or wind field, or tracking the planet\u2019s clouds, had only served to increase uncertainty and resulted in a rotation period of between 10 hours and 32 minutes and 10 hours and 47 minutes. The same method came up with the correct rotation period of Jupiter (pictured) - which was already known owing to its tilted magnetic field. Verifying the method with Jupiter allowed scientists to apply the same technique to Saturn and come up with the revised estimate .

Nicky Morgan has suffered a backlash from teachers who said she was 'misguided' for snubbing a union conference . It comes as members are due to debate possible industrial action over teachers' pay, which could take place after the general election. The row is likely to put a damper on Mrs Morgan's efforts to placate the teachers' unions after taking over from Michael Gove last year. She earned herself the nickname of 'Ms U-Turn' after a series of apparent departures from her predecessor's policies, but now it appears her attempt to reverse Mr Gove's war with the unions may be faltering. At the weekend, she was attacked by NASUWT, the biggest teachers' union, for failing to accept an invitation to address their conference in Cardiff.

This has been brewing for a while, simmering in the background at a time when Jose Mourinho needs his first choice striker out on the pitch in the final, decisive nine games of the season. Diego Costa, this hot-head in a Chelsea shirt, has tweaked his hamstring again and Mourinho will expect his prized forward to barter his way out of Spain's two games during the international break. This time the complaint felt legit, particularly as the score was delicately balanced at 2-2 at the KC Stadium when Costa signalled for help. Chelsea striker Diego Costa was forced off with a hamstring injury during the Blues' 3-2 win over Hull City . Costa (left) talks to manager Jose Mourinho (right) before he is substituted at KC Stadium on Sunday . His replacement, Loic Remy, answered the SOS by scoring Chelsea's winner with his first touch. It was a shame to see Costa disappear down the tunnel, particularly after he had joined Harry Kane at the top of the scoring charts in the Barclays Premier League with a rasping effort to put Chelsea 2-0 ahead. Instead Spain, who have a Euro 2016 qualifier against Ukraine to play on Friday, and a friendly with Holland the following Tuesday will dictate when the forward plays again. Mourinho has an uneasy relationship with Spain coach Vicente del Bosque and with that in mind, his adopted country are likely to demand that he is assessed by their own doctors.

The coalition will again push for a mandatory five-year minimum sentences for traffickers by tabling legislation already rejected by the Senate in February. The prime minister on Sunday called on Labor to support the tough new gun laws, saying it was crucial to cracking down on criminals involved in the illegal firearms trade. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott (L) and Attorney General George Brandis (R) at the Australian Federal Police Headquarters . 'I say to Bill Shorten and the Labor Party, if you're fair dinkum about protecting our community from gun crime you should support these mandatory minimum sentences for people who traffic in illegal firearms,' he told reporters in Sydney. Labor voted against the measures earlier this year, citing an opposition to mandatory sentences. But Mr Abbott said Labor had supported mandatory minimum sentencing for people smugglers when it was in government, and should back its gun trafficking legislation. 'The Labor Party to its credit has a fair record in this parliament on national security,' he said. There are an estimated 250,000 illegal firearms in Australia . 'I don't believe you can properly separate out this crackdown on illegal trafficking in firearms from our overall national security effort.' But shadow attorney general Mark Dreyfus ruled out support for the measure, saying heavy penalties already existed for firearms trafficking. 'There is no evidence that mandatory minimum sentences work as a deterrent,' Mr Dreyfus said. Greens' senator Penny Wright said she was she did not believe tougher gun sentences would make Australia a safer place. The coalition will again push for a mandatory five-year minimum sentences for traffickers by tabling legislation already rejected by the Senate in February . 'Tougher sentencing for trafficking is not the way to address gun crime in Australia,' she said. 'While more certainly needs to be done to stop illegal imports, many illicit firearms are actually stolen from legitimate sources or taken from the 'grey market', including the gun used in the Sydney siege. 'Tackling gun crime requires a multi-faceted approach, not national security scaremongering.' There are an estimated 250,000 illegal firearms in Australia.

Palestinian witnesses had claimed that an Israeli F-16 warplane had killed Palestinian civilians on the beach. But the Amnesty report has corroborated the Israeli army's account of events, which said that the deaths occurred when militants misfired their own rockets. 'An independent munitions expert who examined the available evidence... concluded that the projectile used in the attack was a Palestinian rocket,' the report said. It confirmed that during the 50-day war, Palestinian terrorists launched unguided rockets and mortars from civilian areas toward other civilian areas, constituting a breach of international law. Figures released by the Israeli army after the war ended on 26 August showed that Gaza militants fired 4,591 projectiles at Israel. Of those, 3,659 struck Israeli territory and 735 were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defence system, leaving another 197 falling short and landing inside the coastal enclave. Militant groups used unguided projectiles which were 'inherently indiscriminate,' the report said, noting that this is 'prohibited under international law' and 'constitutes a war crime'. Luther demanded that Palestinian armed groups 'end all direct attacks on civilians', and take all feasible precautions 'to protect civilians in the Gaza Strip from the effects of such attacks', including launching attacks 'within or near densely populated areas.' Other war crimes committed by Palestinian terrorists included storing munitions in civilian buildings and U.N. schools and launching attacks from areas densely populated with civilians, effectively using them as human shields.

And the paediatric gastroenterologist says emerging evidence of an increase in anaphylaxis rates caused by eating nuts suggest it's a health issue that's only getting worse. But Prof Allen says there are some factors to acknowledge that may help Australians avoid developing food allergies. This includes our modern lifestyle, ditching our obsession with cleanliness and ensuring an adequate supply of vitamin D in our diets. Shocking figures have revealed that Australia has the highest record of food allergy in the world. Some of the most common food allergies in Australia are nuts . A seafood allergy which may include fish and shellfish is also common among Australians . Pregnant women and new-born babies don't need avoid cow's milk as a means of trying to prevent such food allergies . In 2011 Prof Allen conducted the study which reported the highest incidence of food allergy in the world, she told Daily Mail Australia. In the same study, it was also revealed that one in 30 Australians had a peanut allergy. 'I was astounded by the figures,' Prof Allen said. 'And I'm a little embarrassed by how high they are.

Although the causes of this increasing concern is unknown, Prof Allen says research shows that one of the main problematic factors could be our modern lifestyle. This includes our diet. Prof Allen recommends that recent study shows that pregnant women no longer need to avoid eating peanuts, eggs or cow's milk in a bid to avoid developing a food allergy. 'In fact, such foods such be introduced to infants in their first year soon after they've started on solids,' she said. The allergist adds that there's a higher risk of food allergy among those who lack vitamin D - not just from sun exposure but in food. 'The quality of vitamin D in our foods like the way eggs and fish are farmed has changed over time,' she said. 'Also I think it's worth saying that we are being too clean.

Experts at the Royal Horticultural Society in recent months have identified four separate viruses which can obliterate grape crops. The diseases, spotted on vines at RHS gardens in Wisley, Surrey, and the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale. Kent, have damaged vineyards in wine-growing countries around the world. Outbreaks of the disease can result in reduced yields, delayed fruit ripening and overly-acidic grapes. The only way to properly deal with the problem is to pull up the plants, experts say.

The reputation of English wine has grown immeasurably in recent years, particularly in warm and sunny Sussex, which has similar soil and climate to the Champagne region of France. Sales of sparking English wine are expected to hit \u00a3100million in 2015, following a boom in the number of vineyards in recent years. In 2014 alone 46 wine producers opened in southern England, a 50 per cent year-on-year increase in new firms. Vines are also becoming a popular plant in back gardens, with many homeowners trailing one over a trellis or up the inside of a conservatory. Dr Gerard Clover, head of plant health at the RHS, said there is no sign the viruses have yet made it into commercial vineyards, but warned producers to be wary of the disease. Writing in the trade journal the Grape Press, due to be published next month, he said: \u2018The discovery of four grapevine viruses not previously reported in the UK during an in initial survey suggests there is no room for complacency. \u2018These viruses have the potential to spread and cause damage to the UK\u2019s developing grapevine industry.\u2019 The four viruses cause different problems to plants, including leafroll disease, stem pitting, and fleck disease.

Whether you're suffering from dehydration due to low cabin humidity or suffering from pain in your ear canal during takeoff and landing, everything from oxygen deprivation to inactivity can contribute to passengers feeling unwell in the air. Here are some of the scariest health effects of flying... and some suggestions to prevent and combat them. Everything from dehydration to inactivity can contribute to passengers feeling unwell while in the air . Dehydration . While bodies are most comfortable at around 50 percent humidity, an aeroplane's cabin humidity can be as low as 10 per cent. That is drier than being in a desert. Naturally, this extreme dryness will only lead to only one inevitable conclusion: a very dehydrated traveller. According to NHS, the symptoms of dehydration include 'dizziness or light-headedness, headache, tiredness, dry mouth, lips and eyes, and the passing of small amounts of urine infrequently.' Dehydration can also lead to a loss of strength and stamina and dry sinuses, nostrils and throat that make you far more prone to infection. Combat all of this by drinking plenty of water and keeping away from beverages with diuretic properties, like alcohol or coffee. Low humidity in cabin air means that passengers should keep diuretic beverages, like alcohol, to a minimum . Ear pain . Ever wondered exactly why you feel pain in your ears during takeoff and landing? It turns out that the uncomfortable feeling a product of the air on your ears expanding and causing increased pressure to build up within the ear canal. But it's only when this pressure cannot be released, such as due to blockage from a cold, for example, that the passenger will really be made aware of the change. Luckily, alleviating the pressure in most cases is relatively easy - simply by swallowing, chewing or yawning. Additionally, the motion sickness that you may feel in the pit of your stomach actually also starts in your inner ears, when your balance is thrown off by something like turbulence. Ear pain during take off and landing is due to the air on your ears expanding and causing increased pressure . In this instance, the best bet for preventing nausea is to book a seat over the wings, which is the steadiest part of the plane. And the final ear-related concern to contend with on board has to do with hearing. Whether watching a movie or listening to your iPod, the sounds you're blasting to block out engine noise and passenger chatter are probably wreaking a bit of havoc, since it's a different listening environment than you're used to with different levels of ambient noise to tune out. Although your hearing won't suffer any permanent damage after a plane ride or two, frequent fliers should take note of the decibel difference to avoid any sort of long-term effects. Lower levels of oxygen in the plane's pressurised air can cause light-headedness and shallow breathing . Oxygen deprivation .

A Michigan food entrepreneur claims the 'Little Dipper' condiment package he patented in 1997 led H.J. Heinz Co. to develop its Dip & Squeeze ketchup packets, which it rolled out in February 2010, lawyers in opening statements told a federal court jury in Pittsburgh on Monday. The trial, expected to last through until Thursday, will determine whether or not Pittsburgh-based Heinz used David Wawrzynski's 'concrete, new and novel' ideas when it developed the dual-purpose ketchup packets. If the jury rules in the Detroit businessman's favor and determines Heinz agreed to pay for the ideas, a separate trial will begin June 10 on how much Heinz owes Wawrzynski. 'Heinz says it didn't use any of Mr. Wawrzynski's ideas \u2014 they thought it up all on their own,' his attorney, Eugene Boyle Jr. told the jury. 'We're here to tell you that's not true.' Boyle told The Associated Press he can't say how much Wawrzynski is seeking because an expert hired to calculate the sum hasn't issued a final report. But Heinz attorney David Wolfsohn said Heinz owes nothing because the Dip & Squeeze owes nothing to the cone-shaped container that Wawrzynski invented. Drawings of two versions of that product were shown to the jury, including one with a keyhole-shaped opening that enables a person to dip a french fry into ketchup, while wiping off excess amounts as it's pulled out of the opening. Wawrzynski isn't claiming Heinz copied the exact design. Rather, he contends Heinz didn't have the idea for a ketchup container that could be dipped into and squeezed until they heard his pitch. Wolfsohn denied that claim. Heinz claims the Dip & Squeeze grew out of an earlier idea called the 'Dunk 'n Squirt' that it shelved in 2006 because it couldn't make it cheaply enough . The Dip & Squeeze grew out of an earlier idea called the 'Dunk 'n Squirt' that Heinz began working on in 2002 but shelved in 2006 because it couldn't find a vendor to make the throwaway ketchup packets cheaply enough, the company says. The packets must be cheap to purchase because fast-food restaurants and others give the packets away for free, Wolfsohn said. Prototypes developed in 2006 were keystone-shaped \u2014 like Heinz's iconic ketchup label \u2014 and had a peelable top if a customer wanted to dip a fry and a tear-off end so the ketchup could be squeezed, Wolfsohn said. Except for the keystone shape, the Dip & Squeeze packets are nearly identical. But Boyle insists the idea came from the 44-year-old Wawrzynski, who began working in the food industry at 13. After working at pizzerias over five years from the time he was 16, Wawrzynski launched Wok to You, a firm that delivers Asian food from 30 different Detroit-area restaurants.

Lewis Baker in action for England's under 20s in their international with Mexico on Wednesday night . The midfielder was appointed captain by Aidy Boothroyd at the beginning of the season . On the responsibility of being captain, Baker told Sportsmail: 'It's a great honour for me. Aidy chose me to be captain at the start of the campaign and that was a massive lift for me personally. 'But everyone in the team, we're all captains on the pitch in the game and we showed today that we can be a team and stick together through the bad times. 'I try to lead by example in what I do on the ball and off the ball. Everyone's aim to get to the under 21s and the seniors. 'All we can do is keep working hard, keeping doing what we can do and give your best.' Although England looked the more likely to score after Mexico goalkeeper Raul Gudino was sent off for fouling Akpom for the penalty, they had been second best for much of the friendly at The Hive.

Akpom, who has been on the fringes of Arsene Wenger's first team all season, took his England under 20s tally to four when he drilled home his 78th minute penalty. And Baker appreciates his game-changing qualities: 'When Chuba goes through on goal, everyone gets out of their seat because they know Chuba is a great goalscorer.

Ed Miliband left the door open to a post-election deal with the SNP yesterday as a new poll suggested Labour could be reduced to just two MPs in Scotland. The Labour leader insisted his party could still win outright, pleading with people not to 'blow the whistle on the match before the game is over'. However he has not ruled out a vote-by-vote arrangement with the Nationalists. On a visit to Scotland he claimed there was an 'unholy alliance' between the Conservatives and the SNP to keep David Cameron in Number Ten. He added that every seat Labour lost to the SNP would increase the chances of a second term for the Tories. Labour's panic was increased yesterday by an ICM poll for the Guardian. It showed Nicola Sturgeon's party way ahead, with 43 per cent of the vote, with Labour languishing on 27 per cent, the Conservatives on 14 per cent and the Liberal Democrats on six per cent. On a uniform swing, the figures would see the SNP jump from just six of Scotland's 59 seats in 2010 to 43 in May. Labour would lose 29 of the 41 seats won in 2010, making it all but impossible for the party to win a majority. But a detailed analysis of the poll numbers suggests Labour's position could be even worse. A new poll puts Labour down to just 27 per cent, which Professor John Curtice says could leave the party with just two MPs, the same number as the Tories . Leading psephologist Professor John Curtice, of Strathclyde University, said the SNP have advanced by a staggering 31 per cent in Labour seats. He concluded Labour could be wiped out in all but two seats. If so, the SNP would be certain of holding the balance of power at Westminster. 'There is nothing ... to suggest that the rise of the SNP is not extending to supposedly safe Labour heartlands \u2013 if anything, the opposite is the case,' said Professor Curtice. Mr Miliband appeared angered by Alex Salmond positioning himself as kingmaker in Westminster. 'It's a combination of bluster and bluff,' he said. 'I'll tell you who's going to be writing a Labour budget, me and Ed Balls. It's not going to be Alex Salmond \u2013 not in a million years.' Former first minister Alex Salmond has vowed to hold Labour to ransom in the event of a hung parliament . He had previously ruled out a coalition with the SNP, but stopped short of ruling out the vote-by-vote arrangement proposed by the SNP. 'How other parties decide to vote on the basis of a Labour Queen's Speech is up to them,' he said.

One female officer was told she could make lots of money at swinger and stripper parties, while another claimed McQueen arranged for her to have sex with an officer for $100. Two soldiers testified last year that McQueen recruited them and other cash-strapped female soldiers to join the prostitution ring. A military judge sentenced him to two years in prison and a dishonorable discharge while leading a sexual abuse prevention program at the sprawling Central Texas post. However, he pleaded not guilty to sexual assault. One of the female soldiers had previously testified that McQueen arranged for her to have sex for $100 with an officer, Master Sergeant Brad Grimes.

Sportsmail looks at five reasons why they can keep carrying the flag for England. Everton's players jog around the running track at Dynamo Kiev's Olympic Stadium on Wednesday . BUBBLING CONFIDENCE . Had Everton travelled here last week, their prospects would not have been so positive but the mood is significantly different thanks to back-to-back victories at Goodison Park against Kiev in the first leg and then Newcastle on Sunday. It is the first time since November Everton have managed to put two results like that together and it has made a big difference to the mood of the squad. Once this group gets on a roll and has confidence, they can meet challenges head on and they won't shirk what is in front of them. 'We know that it is going to be a tough game,' said Seamus Coleman. 'We were very impressed with Kiev in the first leg and they have got good players, like (Andrei) Yarmolenko. But we have come here with confidence and we want to go through to the next round.' Everton midfielder Ross Barkley scores his side's final goal in their 3-0 win against Newcastle on Sunday . LETHAL LUKAKU . After enduring a difficult spell in the middle of the season, Everton's record signing is beginning to deliver big goals at the right moments. He has scored 10 goals in his last 14 appearances, including the scruffy penalty which secured a first leg advantage. That strike made him Everton's leading European scorer with seven and he has been proficient at coming up with big moments in this competition, such as hat-trick in Berne and a group-winning goal in Wolfsburg. He will fancy his chances of maintaining that sequence tonight. Romelu Lukaku celebrates scoring his 10th goal in his last 14 games against Newcastle last weekend .

Martinez puts domestic struggles down to the fact they lost a lot of ground in the race for fourth place early on and ultimately lost heart for a period. In Europe, though, they have had a sense of freedom and have been liberated by the chance to achieve something significant. They have won six of their nine games so far and the players are determined to not let the opportunity slip. 'We are going to approach it the way we approach every game,' said Ross Barkley, who will have a key role to fulfil. 'We did well at home and hopefully now we can do that in the away game.

The Chilean's work-rate, creativity and finishing mean he's a firm favourite with fans at the Emirates Stadium as well as one of the first names on Arsene Wenger's team sheet. But his form has tailed off in recent weeks, with Sanchez failing to find the net in February, and the former Barcelona star has now gone seven games without a goal. Alexis Sanchez has been suffering a bit of a drought since Mesut Ozil returned to fitness . Sanchez has not scored a goal for Arsenal in his last seven games, providing just one assist in that time . The Gunners forward has been vital to their form this season, but does not look at his best at the moment . A hamstring injury, which ruled Sanchez out of games against Aston Villa and Tottenham, seemed to stall his season, but there are also concerns about the 26-year-old's role in the team since the return from injury of Mesut Ozil. Gunners fans had hoped that when Ozil and Sanchez, Arsenal's two most expensive players ever, played together, Wenger's side would find another gear. But it appears the two struggle to play together. Sanchez has not scored a goal with Ozil on the pitch since October 1, and the Gunners win percentage with their two stars playing together is worryingly far lower than when one is absent. While results have picked up since the German's return from injury, the impact on Sanchez's performances is a concern. The Chilean's barren spell has coincided with Ozil's comeback, and a move away from the central role in which he was excelling. Sanchez celebrates scoring against Stoke City in early January, his last goal for the club . The Chilean has scored 18 times since his move from Barcelona, but none since January 11 . Sanchez celebrates after scoring against Manchester City, but he generally struggles when Ozil plays . In the World Cup-winning playmaker's absence, Sanchez had been operating as Arsenal's No 10, with a license to drift all over the pitch and run at the defence. But Ozil has slotted into that role, with great effect, shunting Arsenal's best player this season out to the left wing. The effect has been devastating to Sanchez's game. In his first 30 appearances for Arsenal he created 74 chances, at a rate of almost two and a half per game. In his last seven, he averages around one and a half a game, with only one assist. It is a similar story with his shooting. His goalless run is the result of having just 13 shots in seven games, of which only five have been on target.

Joyce Hardin Garrard, 49, is heard repeatedly calling the name of 9-year-old Savannah Hardin in the more than 11-minute 911 recording played in an otherwise silent courtroom. The child's stepmother, Jessica Mae Hardin, told the 911 operator the girl had a seizure. Garrard talked in the background. Jurors heard a 911 during which Joyce Hardin Garrard didn't tell medics that she had made the girl had run for hours and could also be heard asking for 'a smoke' while the child was unconscious . 'Savannah, open your eyes,' Garrard is heard saying. 'Savannah. Savannah,' Garrad says. 'How is she doing?' operator Lori Beth Beggs asks. 'We can't get her to come to,' Hardin responds. Garrard's lawyers haven't denied that the girl ran before her collapse, but the defense said the woman had no intention of harming her granddaughter. The recording showed Hardin, who is awaiting trial on a murder charge in the girl's death, never told Beggs the child had been running or that she had any previous medical problems. Beggs said the information could have been useful to her treatment. Savannah died in a hospital three days later. A firefighter who came to the scene said Garrard also never told emergency workers the child had been running.

Now a new gadget will allow homeowners to flip their lights on and off using their mobile phone, without having to change all their current light fittings and switches. Engineers have developed a device that attaches on top of traditional light switches to enable them to be turned on and off from anywhere in the home. Scroll down for video . Switchmate fits over existing light switches meaning it can be used in most homes without needing rewiring . The developers say the device, called Switchmate, means households can benefit from smart lighting without the need for expensive rewiring. Switchmate can be controlled using a mobile phone app over Bluetooth and uses a physical toggle inside the device to move the light switch. Imagine walking into your living room after a stressful day at work, to find the lights automatically dim themselves to suit your mood. It might sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but this is already possible, thanks to a gadget called Muse. The device, which went on sale in the UK this week, is designed to track people\u2019s brain waves, in the same way that fitness trackers count the number of steps a person has taken, or monitor their heart rate. Users wear a plastic headband across their forehead, with sensors at the front and above the ears, to track their brain activity. This information is then beamed via Bluetooth to the user\u2019s mobile phone or computer, where it is \u2018translated\u2019 into an image of a summer\u2019s day in the country.

It can also be linked to lighting and heating systems, in order to change the feel of a room depending on the user\u2019s mood. According to Daniel Peng, co-founder of California-based Switchmate, the device works like a robotic finger for the lights in your home. The app can be used to set timers so the lights come on at prearranged times or proximity so lights turn on when you walk into a room with your phone. Mr Peng said: 'Switchmate allows you to remotely control your lights via your smart phone, but you can still press the button on the Switchmate face plate to manually flip the switch. 'A lot of our users set timers to make their homes look occupied when they are away, great for making your home safer when you are on vacation.

+{"article": "Eating three meals a day is as much a part of our routine as getting up in the morning and going to sleep in the evening. Now, experts have warned eating breakfast, lunch and dinner may be damaging our health. In fact, there is no evidence eating three square meals a day is beneficial to the body\u2019s needs for energy, the website Mother Jones reports. In fact, skipping meals and fasting could actually be better for health than sticking to rigid eating patterns. There is no evidence eating three meals a day is healthier than eating in other forms, such as six or nine meals a day . Historian Abigail Carroll told journalist Kiera Butler that these meals are cultural constructions European settlers enforced on Native Americans. In her new book, \u2018Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal\u2019, Ms Carroll said the settlers ate meals at regimented times and considered this more \u2018civilised\u2019 than the natives whose eating patterns varied with the seasons, and included fasting. A quirk of history has meant this pattern has been heralded as healthy, when in fact there is no evidence for this assertion, Ms Carroll said. For example, breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day largely due to advertising campaigns by cereal and juice companies, she claims. In fact, a 2014 study by the University of Bath found whether or not a person ate breakfast had zero effect on the overall calories they consumed in a day. Those who ate breakfast did burn more calories than those who skipped it, but they burned off the extra calories later in the day, meaning the net calorie consumption was the same. New research shows skipping meals and fasting could actually be beneficial for health, triggering weight loss and strengthening the immune system . Similar University of Alabama research found eating breakfast or not made no difference to dieters trying to lose weight. And last year, MailOnline reported on research published in the journal Cell Metabolism, which found eating meals within an eight hour window each day could help a person shed weight. Fasting can be good for your health, experts claim. A study found that fasting for two days or more can help to kick-start the immune system, especially if it has been damaged by ageing or cancer treatment. It encourages the body to replace old and damaged cells, U.S. researchers said. Valter Longo, a longevity expert at the University of Southern California, said: \u2018When you starve, the system tries to save energy, and one of the things it can do to save energy is to recycle a lot of the immune cells that are not needed, especially those that may be damaged.\u2019 His team found fasting for two to four days every six months forced the body into survival mode, using up stores of fat and sugar and breaking down old cells. \u2018The body then sent a signal telling stem cells to regenerate and \u201crebuild the entire system\u201d.'

A lodger strangled a Mormon grandmother to death after she invited him to stay at her flat to avoid paying the so-called bedroom tax. Anna Maria Thomas, 61, asked Felix Gutierrez-Cortez to live at her two-bedroom home in Putney, south west London, after they met in June 2013 through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The 34-year-old, who previously slept rough at Clapham Junction station, moved in to act as Ms Thomas's carer but also to fill her second befroom, which would have otherwise been subject to the Government's controversial under-occupancy charge. The charge, which came into force in April 2013, limits a tenant's housing benefit if they have an unused bedroom in their property. But the Old Bailey heard how Ms Thomas was killed by her lodger, just six months after the arrangement was made. The court heard how Ms Thomas was found strangled to death in her flat on December 10, her face swollen and her eyes bulging out of her head. She was covered with a pink duvet and propped up by a blood-soaked floral pillow, the court heard. Paramedics had gone to her flat after Gutierrez-Cortez phoned 999, saying he had found her lifeless body on the living room floor. But it later emerged that Ms Thomas had been lying dead in her flat for up to two days. The Old Bailey was told that the postmortem gave the cause of death as compression of the neck, which was most likely caused by strangulation. The Spanish-born Belgian national was today cleared by a jury of murdering his landlady, but convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He has been remanded in custody to be sentenced on 24 April. Judge John Bevan QC told him: 'You have been convicted of causing Anna Thomas' death, but it is clear that you are ill and therfore you have been convicted of manslaughter and not murder.'

Ojjeh won. \u2018This is where I should be,\u2019 said Button in the paddock on Thursday. \u2018It doesn\u2019t feel like a bonus, it feels normal, \u2014 and exciting because it is such an exciting new package of engine and car.\u2019 But as cruel irony would have it, Alonso will miss this race after he banged his head in testing and Magnussen has been called up to replace him in tandem with Button. Button poses with the NSX concept vehicle at a Honda F1 Grand Prix press conference . Alonso\u2019s accident in Barcelona last month prompted a host of theories: among them that he had a fit before losing control or suffered an electric shock. The second theory is totally denied by the team. Button, however, was concerned enough to examine the data of Alonso\u2019s car to satisfy himself there was nothing for him to fear. \u2018I will not get into a car unless I am 100 per cent sure that it is safe,\u2019 he said. \u2018I spent hours going through the data with the engineers and talking to them about the incident. \u2018There was nothing wrong with the car whatsoever. I needed to know that before getting into the car at the next test, so I made certain of it. \u2018When you are driving at the limit, you need to be sure. I trust these guys and that is why I have the confidence to drive it this weekend.\u2019 Yes, but not as fast as McLaren would like. They are nowhere near the top teams \u2014 in expected order: Mercedes, by miles, Williams, Red Bull and Ferrari. Button, a glass-half-full sort of man, was realistic in his assessment of his team\u2019s prospects. Button married his fiancee Jessica Michibata in a secret ceremony in Hawaii in January . \u2018We definitely won\u2019t be fighting for a win here,\u2019 he said. \u2018The important thing for us is to see improvements every race and progress. \u2018The power unit package is so tight and so advanced that you do have issues and", "summary": "Jenson Button has recorded three victories in Melbourne during his career .

Research conducted by the House of Commons Library found aid spending could eclipse defence by 2030/31, assuming current spending changes continue under successive governments. According to the analysis, defence spending will be \u00a327.1 billion by 2031, but the aid budget will be \u00a328.3 billion, the Daily Telegraph reported. Prime Minister David Cameron, who has dismissed concerns about the impact of cuts on the capacity of the British forces . In recent years, the Department for International Development has seen its budget increase sharply as ministers try to hit the target of spending 0.7 per cent of GDP on aid. Last week the Mail revealed that the Tory manifesto will not commit to keeping defence spending at the Nato target of 2 per cent of national income. Yesterday David Cameron dismissed concerns raised by the head of the US Army about the impact of cuts on the capacity of British forces, insisting it remained a 'very strong and capable partner' for the Americans. In a sign of the pressure on the Prime Minister over the military budget, former Defence Secretary Liam Fox said he and fellow Tory MPs would find it 'hard to swallow' if Mr Cameron allowed spending to fall below the 2 per cent Nato threshold while maintaining a pledge to spend 0.7 per cent of GDP on aid. Former defence secretary Liam Fox, pictured, has said he and fellow Tory MPs would find it 'hard to swallow' if defence spending fell below the Nato threshold . Ministers are under increasing pressure from Tory MPs and senior military figures to commit Britain to meeting the Nato target after 2016. With deep cuts to Whitehall budgets to continue after May's general election, Chancellor George Osborne is reported to have warned privately that it may fall below that level. The most senior civil servant at the Ministry of Defence said that the department would 'clearly' like the Nato target to be met - although he said that it would be for ministers in the next government to decide. Giving evidence to the Commons Public Accounts Committee, Jon Thompson, the permanent secretary at the MoD, said: 'Clearly, we would like 2% of GDP but that's for the next government to decide.' He said that on current forecasts, GDP growth was expected to outstrip the growth in the defence budget, so that it would drop below 2% at some point in the next parliament. He warned that further cuts in spending could ultimately affect the capability levels of the armed forces. 'It rather depends on how deep the cut is and how much further financial efficiency we can drive. If it were to be more than the level of financial efficiency we can drive, then yes, it will impact on capability,' he said. Speaking at a campaign event in Colchester, the Prime Minister said the UK's defence budget was the fifth largest in the world and second only to the US in the Nato alliance.

Pre-tax petrol prices in the UK are lower than anywhere in the EU except Estonia, but when fuel duty and VAT are added the cost at the pump is among the highest. With just weeks until the Budget, the revelation will pile pressure for fuel duty cuts on Chancellor George Osborne who has called on fuel companies to reduce charges in the wake of falling global oil prices.

Total petrol prices have begun rising in recent weeks, after falling dramatically from \u00a31.30 to \u00a31.06 in the year to February. Ministers including Mr Osborne and his Lib Dem deputy Danny Alexander have repeatedly said the price on forecourts must fall to reflect the cheaper wholesale costs for fuel firms.

But tax adds another 76p per litre, making it the fifth highest behind the Netherlands, Italy, Malta and Greece. It means tax makes up 70 per cent of the total price of a litre of fuel, the joint highest with the Netherlands.

Professor Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, said: 'These numbers tell a revealing story.

The 30-year-old had requested a personal hearing after being charged with using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards a match official in or around the tunnel area after the final whistle following Albion's 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa this month. Brunt is banned with immediate effect and will miss Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Manchester City. West Bromwich Albion midfielder has been handed a one match ban and an \u00a38,000 fine by the FA . Brunt argues with referee Anthony Taylor after he sends off Claudio Yacob during the game at Villa Park . The Northern Ireland international faced the threat of a two-game ban and Albion's director of football administration Richard Garlick believes the punishment reflected the circumstances in which the game finished. Villa fans invaded the pitch at the final whistle and had also run onto the surface while the game was still in play, with the invasions the subject of an FA investigation. Referee Anthony Taylor had also sent off Albion's Claudio Yacob and Villa's Jack Grealish towards the end of the match. Thousands streamed on to the pitch after the match, which helped make Brunt's an 'extraordinary case' 'We had a fair hearing and feel the punishment is an acknowledgement by the Commission that this was an extraordinary case,' said Garlick, after the Independent Regulatory Commission in London on Tuesday.

Evans himself is facing a ban of six matches if found guilty after the Football Association charged both men.

Both Newcastle striker Cisse, who admitted the charge, and Evans released statements on Thursday in which they disagreed on the intent behind the disgusting scenes. Bizarrely, Evans claimed he was shocked by the allegations and protested his innocence. Cisse responded by apologising but said he was provoked when Evans spat at him. Indeed, Sportsmail understands that Cisse is furious that the Northern Ireland international has not admitted his guilt, and is adamant the defender spat at his leg. And Cisse will inform FA disciplinary chiefs that Evans intentionally spat at him when questioned about the incident. Cisse has been banned for seven games after accepting the charge from the FA on Thursday . This season, FA guidelines dictate that the punishment for spitting should be in line with FIFA's six game ban for the offence. Cisse faces an additional one game ban because he has already been sent off for violent conduct after elbowing Everton's Seamus Coleman (above) in December. Having conceded he was wrong to react by spitting in Evans\u2019s face, Cisse will be fined a week\u2019s wages of around \u00a340,000 by Newcastle, who will now be without their 11-goal top scorer until May. FA rules were changed in the summer to bring them in line with FIFA guidelines which state a player found guilty of spitting at an opponent will be suspended for six games. However, Cisse has already served a three-match ban for violent conduct this season after elbowing Everton\u2019s Seamus Coleman and as a result will be hit with an additional one-game suspension. He will not return until the final three matches of the campaign. Evans, meanwhile, could miss crucial Premier League fixtures against Spurs, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea should he be found guilty. But the 27-year-old will contest the charge, to which he must respond by 6pm on Friday evening. The Senegalese striker points the finger at United defender Evans after the ugly incident .

Two mild winters in a row have created the perfect conditions for Spanish slugs - an horrific, aggressive species which grows up to six inches long - to expand their territory. The species, nicknamed the cannibal slug because of its tendency to feast on the remains of dead relatives, was first spotted in this country in 2012. The giant Spanish slug, pictured, was first spotted in the UK in 2012 and is now starting to take hold . Sightings have since been reported in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Kent, London and Hampshire. But this year it is expected to tighten its hold on the country and spread even further. Dr Ian Bedford, the expert who first identified the species three years ago, warned that it is likely to thrive after two very mild winters. \u2018If this warm weather continues and we do not have any cold spells before May we could see very high numbers of the Spanish slug this year,\u2019 he said. Dr Bedford, head of entomology at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, said the slug - which officially is called Arion vulgaris and originates in southern Europe - cannot survive extreme cold temperatures. Common native slugs, although less aggressive, are much better at surviving cold conditions. Experts say it is too early to know whether common varieties will have a boom year, because the volumes of rain we see this spring and summer will be much more closely tied to their fortunes. The winter of 2012/13 saw several cold snaps, blizzards and frosts, which hit the new population of Spanish slugs hard. But the intervening two winters have been much warmer, particularly in southern England which has barely seen any snow in 24 months. The average temperature in England for December, January and February this year was 4.4C (39.9F), and the year before was even warmer at 5.8C (42.4F). The average English winter temperature is 4.2C (39.6F). Slug expert Dr Ian Bedford, pictured, said Britain was on course for record numbers of Spanish slugs . The slug, pictured, is not able to survive extremely cold winters and frozen conditions . The Spanish slugs, which are thought to have made it to the British mainland on imported vegetables, have been recorded feeding on dead mice, meat and each other and can withstand up to 20 slug pellets. They also devour garden plants - terrible news for gardeners. Unlike native species, they produce so much slime that birds and hedgehogs tend not to eat them. They also produce twice as many eggs as native slugs, so are more likely to increase their populations and expand their territory quickly. Dr Bedford said: \u2018If you spot these in your garden the best way to deal with them is to drown them in a bucket of soapy water, add a bit of household bleach, and then bury the remains 18 inches deep. \u2018If they spread it could really affect British farmers.

Philip Hammond condemned critics who try to 'excuse' terrorists including Jihadi John by pointing the finger of blame at the security services . British citizens who travel to Iraq and Syria to fight against ISIS could face prosecution if they return. Philip Hammond said that parents and schools have a responsibility to help prevent young people from travelling abroad to take part in the conflict in Syria and Iraq. Asked what the authorities' response would be to Britons who take up arms against IS, the Foreign Secretary said: 'The simple, legal answer is that anyone conducting irregular fighting activity overseas is subject to British legislative sanction. 'That is unlawful activity and can be dealt with on their return to the UK.' The parents of three London schoolgirls believed to have entered Syria with the aim of joining IS - Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and 15-year-old Amira Abase - are later due to appear before the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee, alongside the ambassador of Turkey. Cage sparked outrage last month with its attempts to justify Emwazi's brutal killings of ISIS hostages. In an extraordinary press conference, the group's research director Asim Qureshi said Kuwait-born Briton Emwazi was a 'beautiful young man', 'extremely gentle' and 'the most humble young person that I ever knew'. The 32-year-old blamed British security services for Emwazi's radicalisation, saying he had tried to fit in but had been made to feel like an 'outsider'. Today Mr Hammond vehemently rejected the idea that the actions of Emwazi and other ISIS murderers can ever be justified. He said: 'The exposure of the alleged identity of one of the most murderous ISIL terrorists over the last few weeks has seen some seeking to excuse the terrorists and point the finger of blame at the agencies themselves.

Now engineers have created artificial \u2018skin\u2019 that could one day be used to make soldiers\u2019 uniforms and give them the same ability as the colourful reptile. The incredibly thin camouflage material can be made to change colour on demand, by bending it. Engineers have created artificial \u2018skin\u2019 that could one day be used to make soldiers\u2019 uniforms, giving them the ability to blend into their surroundings like a chameleon . Researchers say the new material offers intriguing possibilities for an entirely new class of display technologies, colour-shifting camouflage, and sensors that could detect otherwise imperceptible defects in buildings, bridges and aircraft. \u2018This is the first time anybody has made a flexible chameleon-like skin that can change colour simply by flexing it,\u2019 said Professor Connie Chang-Hasnain, a member of the University of California Berkeley team that developed the material. They made the material by etching features smaller than a wavelength of light onto a silicon film one thousand times thinner than a human hair. The markings enabled them to select the range of colours the material would reflect, depending on how it was flexed and bent. Engineers made the material (illustrated) by etching features smaller than a wavelength of light onto a silicon film one thousand times thinner than a human hair . The incredibly thin camouflage material can be made to change colour on demand like a chameleon (stock image), by applying a minimal amount of force . Chameleons appear to be capable of rearranging crystals inside specialised skin cells to switch hues in order to attract a potential mate or scare off a rival. The process involves the active tuning of a lattice of microscopic crystals in skin cells called iridophores. Not only do the crystals allow the lizard to shift rapidly from efficient camouflage and spectacular mating displays, but they also protect it from overheating. It was previously thought that coloured pigments were gathered and dispersed inside different cells. The colours we see in paints and fabrics, for example, occur when white broad spectrum light strikes their surfaces. The unique chemical composition of each surface then absorbs various bands, or wavelengths of light. Bands that aren\u2019t absorbed are reflected back, with shorter wavelengths giving objects a blue hue and longer wavelengths appearing redder, with a rainbow of possible combinations in between. While autumn leaves change colour because of a shift in their chemical make-up, the researchers say they can transform the shade of their material by controlling the surface features on the tiniest of scales so they interact and reflect particular wavelengths of light. Professor Chang-Hasnain said that such \u2018structural colour\u2019 is much less common in nature, but is used by some butterflies and beetles to create a an iridescent display. To make the material, the Berkeley team etched rows of ridges onto a thin layer of silicon, which was set into a layer of silicone for flexibility. Rather than spreading the light into a complete rainbow, the ridges reflect a specific wavelength of light.

+{"article": "Fifty years after the bound body of a dairy farmer was pulled from a river, a new theory has emerged in the unsolved case of his death. Prosperous but unpopular dairy farmer Orville Gibson disappeared in the wee hours of New Year's Eve 1957 in Newbury, Vermont. Searchers pulled his bound body from the river nearly three months later. The case remains officially unsolved, but it's been widely accepted for decades that a small mob of drunken townspeople incensed by rumors that Gibson had beaten his elderly hired man kidnapped him, tied him up and threw him in a car trunk, where he suffocated. They threw his body into the river. Scroll down for video . The body of Orville Gibson (pictured) was pulled from a lake three months after he went missing. He had been bound at the ankles, and with his hands behind his knees. A new book claims that he staged an elaborate sucide . The crime was deemed a 'lynching' by editorial writers from Boston to Washington to the civil rights-era South. (All the players in Vermont were white, but white supremacists in the South used the story to cry they were being unfairly singled out for the mob killings of black men.) The story spread across the globe, even earning a feature in Life magazine. Orville Gibson was a successful dairy farmer who had many enemies in the community of Newbury . 'You can go anywhere, quite a ways off, and if you say you're from Newbury they'll bring it up,' said Eleanor Placey, 72, who was related to Gibson by marriage. Two men later went on trial but were both acquitted. So what really happened? Judge Stephen Martin, who as a new lawyer in 1960 helped represent one of the accused, recently published a book in which he argues Orville Gibson killed himself, with some ingenuity and difficulty, in a largely successful attempt to get revenge on his neighbors by pinning the blame on them. In Orville's Revenge: The Anatomy of a Suicide, Martin argues that Gibson, broken by the criminal charge he was facing in the hired man's beating and by the enmity he had created among his neighbors, staged evidence at his farm, walked over a bridge to New Hampshire, climbed out on a pier, tied himself up and rolled himself into the water. 'He was very proud, quick to hold a grudge, and his whole life was crashing down upon him,' Martin said in an interview. Martin has taken his conclusions to the Vermont attorney general's office, whose investigators plan to take another look. They could reclassify the case and remove it from the list of Vermont's unsolved homicides. Not everybody buys Martin's theory. 'I don't know why a supposedly intelligent man like Judge Martin would say that,' said Doris McClintock, 75, Gibson's niece, who still believes some of her neighbors know what happened to her uncle. McClintock and the Placeys offer-point-by-point rebuttals of why they believe Martin's book is inaccurate, getting basic facts wrong and ignoring others that don't fit his thesis.", "summary": "Prosperous but unpopular dairy farmer Orville Gibson disappeared in the wee hours of New Year's Eve 1957 - his body was later pulled from a river .

She has spent upwards of 8,000 Euros (nearly \u00a36,000) travelling to Russia, China, Australia and Kenya to capture total eclipses since her first in 2008. Agnese told MailOnline: 'The feeling of the eclipse when it happens, you can't describe it, it's like magic. 'One minute the sun is shining then it starts getting darker but it doesn't get dark like it does in the evening or at dusk - it goes dark very, very fast. 'Within half a minute it's completely black and it is something that is very strange to experience. 'It doesn't feel natural and completely understand the ancient civilizations who thought it was some sort of omen. I find it thrilling. 'When you see it you're so happy that it was shown to you because there are so many things which can disturb it, like clouds.' Though some of her friends and family may think she's mad, all the hassle and the expense is worth it for Agnese when the eclipse itself happens. She said: 'That moment alone alone you feel like, \"yes, we did it\". All the natural power comes together when you see it and even though it's short, I am never disappointed. 'My family and some of my friends think I'm a bit crazy but every person goes crazy in their own way.

Heath, who also worked in restorative justice, admitted five counts of misconduct in public office between July 2002 and February 2013 at Bristol Crown Court. He also denied two counts of rape, one of theft and two further charges of misconduct in the public office - accessing the police database and failing to report an alleged rape. The remaining charges will lie on the court file after his not guilty pleas were accepted by the prosecution. Gloucestershire Constabulary's Professional Standards Department began investigating Heath following a single complaint in 2012. But concerned officers decided to look back through their database and identified a number of other potential victims. Senior Investigating Officer with the Anti-Corruption Unit, Detective Inspector Giulia Marogna, said: 'It then quickly became clear there were a number of ladies he may have offended against.

He\u2019s certainly got all the qualities that make him the perfect replacement for the Liverpool captain. I appreciate that Jordan Henderson is set to take over as skipper, but in terms of dynamism, energy and quality, Lallana looks like the perfect replacement for Gerrard the player. Have a look at Sunday\u2019s victory over Manchester City: Lallana started the game as one of two No 10s behind Raheem Sterling (Brendan Rodgers\u2019 innovative approach as a coach should not be underestimated). When Lazar Markovic went off, Lallana went over to the right wing, and then when Alberto Moreno was substituted, Lallana ended the game on the left wing. Adam Lallana (centre) gave an all-action display as Liverpool impressively beat Manchester City . Lallana chats with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard during training on Monday . He is truly two-footed \u2013 for that reason alone English football should treasure him. But he is also clearly capable of playing in different positions, and he can adapt midway through a game. Those qualities are not readily available in most players and it takes me back to the Champions League final of 2005 when Gerrard ended up at right back. The very best not only play different positions, they excel in those positions as well. Lallana still has to prove he can do it, as Gerrard did, in a major final, but he proved it in a massive game on Sunday. A simple five-minute chat about Lallana with Rodgers will have him purring. The Liverpool manager will be using words and phrases like 'balance', 'clever', 'worker', 'technical ability', 'awareness', 'great character', 'looks after the ball'. Bring up the subject of Lallana and you could be there all day with Rodgers. On Sunday all the talk was of Philippe Coutinho, and understandably so. The brilliance of his goals alone in recent weeks makes him the hot topic and it\u2019s great to see him add consistency to the undoubted quality. But Lallana\u2019s contribution should not go unnoticed. Philippe Coutinho (2nd right) curled home Liverpool's winner late on in the Premier League clash at Anfield . Vice-captain Jordan Henderson (right, front) also scored a screamer for the Reds on Sunday . One thing you might not know about Lallana is that in Rodgers\u2019 words, he is 'no shrinking violet'.

Mr Awomudu had recognised him and Seager was arrested shortly afterwards, confessing to his bungled plan immediately at the police station. He admitted attempted robbery and one count of communicating false information about a bomb hoax.

In fact, there are so few people who live in these particular municipalities that the area now competes with Siberia and the Arctic provinces of Lapland as the least populated zone in Europe.

George Osborne will use his last Budget before the General Election to unveil digital tax accounts for millions who currently have to complete self-assessment forms. They will work like online bank accounts and keep an up-to-the-minute record of all the tax someone owes or has paid. George Osborne will unveil digital tax accounts for millions in his Budget today . New digital tax accounts are designed to end hassle for individuals but also boost business by significantly cutting down on red tape. Individuals and firms can already choose to fill in their annual tax return online, but this is simply the paper form on a website. Once a year, and a year behind, taxpayers have to send HMRC information it already holds on income \u2013 meaning many people end up with tax affairs that are out of date and incorrectly coded. They have only one opportunity a year to interact with tax officials to reconcile their account and notify them of any change of circumstances. The digital accounts will allow such updates at any time. It will mean users can see all the taxes they need to pay without having to complete a tax return, and pay taxes they owe when it suits them \u2013 by linking to their bank account so they can pay in instalments or by direct debit, for instance. There will be particular advantages for businesses, which currently have to pay different taxes at different times, including VAT, corporation tax, income tax and National Insurance. By early 2016, all five million small businesses and the first ten million individuals will have access to digital tax accounts. All businesses in the UK and 55million individuals will have one by the end of the next Parliament. Those who have difficulty gaining access to the internet will continue to be allowed to submit paper returns, or be offered support. Officials claim the system will cut the time it takes to complete tax returns from an average of 40 minutes to just ten minutes a year. The accounts will allow tax to be paid at any time and will radically simplify the payment of various levies for businesses. Because the system will be automatically updated with information from employers, pension providers or banks, taxpayers will not have to submit duplicate information about their income. The populist reform is the centrepiece of an intensely political Budget. Mr Osborne will hail the Government\u2019s economic record, saying 1,000 jobs a day have been created during its time in power \u2013 more than the rest of the EU combined.

The father of missing Minnesota fourth-grader Barway Collins took out a $30,000 life insurance in his son's name before the boy vanished nearly two weeks ago, it emerged today. Barway Collins 10, was last seen after school March 18 near his apartment complex in Crystal. Police said they were working to find the boy and were checking flights to see whether he might have been sent overseas to his mother, believed to be in Liberia. Last week, Police Chief Stephanie Revering named Barway's father, Pierre Collins, a suspect in the child's disappearance, saying the man who was seen weeping at a vigil has not been entirely honest with investigators. Mr Collins has stopped talking to the press about his son's suspected abduction amid mounting suspicions concerning his alleged involvement in the case. Fox 9 reported Tuesday that according to sources, Mr Collins, 33, took out a life insurance policy in Barway's name totaling $30,000 not long before the child went missing. Police said the father failed a lie-detector test last week, but he has not been arrested or charged with any crime as of Tuesday morning. Pastor Harding Smith, who has been acting as the family's spokesperson, said Collins has told him he had nothing to do with his son's abduction.

'Unfortunately, we have reason to believe that Barway\u2019s father has not been completely truthful with us.' Addressing the footage on the bus, Pierre Collins explained to Nancy Grace that in the Liberian community, children commonly refer to adults as 'uncle' or 'auntie.' When pressed by Grace about the failed polygraph test, Collins explained that he was 'very emotional' during the test. 'I wasn't...myself when I took the polygraph,' he said. 'There's my dad': The footage in question (pictured) also has audio and, police say, as the bus pulled up to Barway's building he pointed out his father and an uncle.

Waking from her sleep-walking state, Lynne Hughes was horrified to discover she had punched her husband in the face, breaking his nose. But the mother-of-two's outburst was not intentional or malicious. The 33-year-old is a diagnosed narcoleptic, and falls asleep without warning up to six times a day. She has woken to find she has sprayed Mr Muscle cleaning products on vegetables while cooking dinner and has come round to find she's made herself a sandwich. But for Mrs Hughes, who also suffers the related sleep disorder cataplexy, her illness has a serious side. Cataplexy causes a sufferer's muscles to completely relax, rendering a person unable to move, while remaining fully conscious. And twice while lying paralysed and helpless in a cataleptic state the street, she has been targeted by heartless thieves. Although she couldn't move, the 33-year-old felt hands raiding her pockets, removing her bank cards and mobile phone, while they pretended to help her. The conditions leave her prone to acting out her dreams as she sleep walks around the family's home in Mold, Flintshire. The bath has been removed, to prevent Mrs Hughes falling asleep in it, and she has stopped using a kettle. She said her 'life-changing' sleep episodes are often triggered by laughing or crying. She no longer goes out alone and never carries more than a few pounds in cash in her bag. She said: 'It's changed my life completely. 'On a couple of occasions I've been robbed. Remember, I can't move but I am still aware so I can feel their hands going into my pockets. 'It happened in Chester in about 2008 and then in Connah's Quay three years ago. 'It was people pretending to help me but really they took my bank cards and phone out of my pockets. 'I knew what was happening but couldn't do anything as the more stressed I got the worse the cataplexy got. 'I do not go out alone now.' Narcolepsy, which affects about 30,000 people in the UK, can cause excessive sleepiness and affects the brain's ability to regulate the normal sleep-wake cycle. Cataplexy is a co-existing condition which brings on episodes of muscular weakness triggered by strong emotions such as laughter, anger and surprise. In Mrs Hughes' case it causes her to regularly collapse, often after she has been laughing or crying. 'I've had to have my bath taken out because I wasn't safe to use it. I can't use a kettle either,' she said. 'My husband makes me a drink and puts it in the thermos flask.' Mrs Hughes has had many bad experiences in public when she collapses in uncomfortable or unfortunate places. She said: 'People will step over me if I fall down in Tesco.

But the politician and magistrate \u2013 once pictured with Labour leader Ed Miliband \u2013 married teacher Ayesha Imdad last year without having formally divorced his first wife.

Instead, Zaffar \u2013 who received an MBE in 2012 for his charity work \u2013 sent Faraz Begum an Islamic divorce document in the post after walking out on her in 2010. He obtained the document from an imam who operates from a terraced house calling itself Raza mosque in Aston, Birmingham. This means that under English law at least, Zaffar, 33, is still married to Miss Begum, whom he wed in Pakistan in 2003. Meanwhile, in April last year, Zaffar married his second wife \u2013 who is now seven months pregnant \u2013 in a lavish Islamic ceremony. Among the hundreds of guests was shadow minister Jack Dromey, the husband of deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman.

Glad-handing: Zaffar with Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls. Tory MP Dominic Raab has called for the party to investigate the magistrate and councillor . Some followers of sharia law believe divorces can be obtained by men without the knowledge or consent of their wives. A man simply states \u2018talaq\u2019 \u2013 meaning \u2018I divorce thee\u2019 \u2013 three times and it is granted. He is not required to give any kind of financial settlement to his wife. However, this method is widely frowned upon and most imams require both parties to be present and commit to a three-month attempt at reconciliation before they grant a divorce. Miss Begum, 36, a British national who is also Zaffar\u2019s first cousin, received the divorce without warning, a friend said. If British citizens marry abroad, it is automatically recognised in English law. For this reason, for the marriage to end, the couple must obtain a divorce recognised by English courts. Miss Begum is currently seeking such a divorce, understood to be in the process of going through the courts. The master\u2019s student said she was unable to comment due to the ongoing legal proceedings.

+{"article": "Hidden patterns of climate change have been revealed by scientists using a method more normally used to diagnose heart disease. The scientists used multiscale entropy analysis to measure the 'pulse of the planet' in an attempt to look for subtle changes in temperature on Earth. The technique is normally used by surgeons to detect irregular heartbeats in large amounts of data from echocardiograms. The graph above shows how the entropy - or predictability - of Central European air temperatures have become less predictable over time scales of between 12 months and 70 months. The black lines shows the temperature predictability between 1850 to 1960 while the red lines shows the entropy between 1961 and 2014 . Researchers at the University of Leicester, however, have used it to look at the variability in the temperature in Europe. They found that the climate appears to have become less regular recently when temperatures are examined on times-scales of longer than 12 months. The chances of heatwaves in Europe have dramatically increased in the past decade as a result of warming temperatures, experts have said. Extremely warm summers that would be expected to occur twice a century in the early 2000s are now likely to happen twice a decade, a study from the Met Office found last year. The chances of extreme heatwaves, such as the one in 2003 which led to tens of thousands of deaths across Europe, have also increased tenfold, from a one in 1,000 year event to around one in a century. By the 2040s, such extreme heatwaves could happen every other year if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, according to the research published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study is an update of research carried out in 2004 into the heatwave the previous year. It found the likelihood of it happening again has at least doubled as a result of human activity, such as burning fossil fuels. Despite a slowdown in rising global temperatures since the late 1990s, the new study found summer temperatures in central and Mediterranean Europe affected by the 2003 heatwave had increased by 0.81\u00b0C (1.4\u00b0F) between the 1990s and the period 2004 to 2013. They say this may be a sign that the regional temperatures are being influenced by more complex feedback systems and may explain why extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods and cold spells are happening more irregularly. Professor Heiko Balzter, a climate scientist at the University of Leicester who led the study, said: 'I had the idea to apply a new method to the climate data. 'It has been applied a lot to diagnose heart disease, because it is good at detecting regularity and randomness in time-series data. 'We are literally taking the pulse of the planet. 'Interestingly, the changes we found only operated on time-scales longer than about a year. 'On these time-scales the climate seems to have become less predictable.' Multiscale entropy analysis works by searching data for small patterns of information that appear repeatedly. It many of these chunks are found then the data has low entropy", "summary": "Multiscale entropy analysis is normally used to diagnose heart disease .

Pietersen was axed by England in February 2014 after their whitewash in Australia, but is hoping for a still unlikely international return in time for this summer's Ashes rematch. He confirmed, on his website kevinpietersen.com that he has taken another key step to that end by agreeing a release from the majority of his contract with the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kevin Pietersen's plans to return to county cricket with Surrey have moved a significant step closer . Pietersen said: 'I'm hugely grateful for all the support and understanding I've received from everyone at the Sunrisers and the IPL. 'My focus is now very much on the upcoming season in England, and I'm absolutely determined to score as many runs as possible.' Surrey de-registered Pietersen at the end of last season but have nonetheless long been front-runners to re-sign him. His availability for all formats, as soon as possible, has appeared a starting point for that to happen - and Pietersen's presence in early season, rather than spending six weeks at the IPL, is therefore a key development. Pietersen plays a shot on the second day of the Ashes series between England and Australia last year . New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves this month revived the record-breaking 34-year-old batsman's hopes of a return to the fold, contrary to the public remarks by anyone else associated with the governing body. But a pre-requisite from Graves was that Pietersen must first of all find a way back into county cricket - and then, of course, start scoring runs again. Pietersen may still be recalled by the Sunrisers for just a one-week period, should they qualify for the IPL knockout stages between May 19 and May 24. That, however, ought not to be an insurmountable problem for any county interested in securing his services. Pietersen bats for Melbourne Stars during the Big Bash League semi-final match against the Perth Scorchers . He added: 'I've never made any secret of my overwhelming desire to once again represent England, and I'm going to do everything in my power to earn a recall to the international set-up. 'To once again put on that England shirt would be a privilege and an honour, but now I have to focus on performing domestically and give myself the best possible chance of meriting selection.' A statement on his website spelled out Pietersen's next move - without specifying Surrey as his immediate destination - and that he has his heart set on an England return in time for the start of the Ashes in July. Pietersen was involved in a high-profile dispute with England coach Peter Moores back in 2009 .

The Bank of England (pictured) risks being dragged into a criminal investigation into how it propped up ailing lenders during the financial crisis .

+{"article": "Supermassive black holes at the centre of large galaxies could be powering blasts from deep inside the galaxy's core, astronomers have claimed. The huge outpourings of material are responsible for ejecting enough dust and gas to build more than a thousand stars the size of our sun every year. And these outflows could also remove huge quantities of star-making gas, dictating the size, shape and overall fate of galaxies. Scroll down for video . Astronomers studying the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy IRAS F11119+3257 have found proof that the winds blown by the black hole are sweeping away the host galaxy's reservoir of raw material to form stars. This artist's impression depicts how a black hole accretes the surrounding matter through a disc . The image looks uncannily like an eye in the sky - such as the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings . Astronomers have sought the driving force behind these massive molecular outflows for years, and now a team of University of Maryland scientists has found an answer. The galaxy in the study, known as IRAS F11119+3257, has an actively growing supermassive black hole at its centre. This means that, unlike the large black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy, this black hole is actively consuming large amounts of gas. As material enters the black hole, it creates friction, which in turn gives off electromagnetic radiation - including X-rays and visible light. Black holes that fit this description are called active galactic nuclei (AGN), and their intense radiation output also generates powerful winds that force material away from the centre of a galaxy. In February it was revealed that a supermassive black hole 12 million times larger than the sun and powering \u2018the brightest lighthouse in the distant universe\u2019 has been discovered. The extraordinary object is at the centre of a quasar - an intensely powerful galactic radiation source - with a million billion times the sun\u2019s energy output. The nature of quasars has remained a mystery since they were discovered in 1963. But scientists theorise that they are generated by matter heating up as it is dragged into supermassive black holes at the centre of distant galaxies. The new object, named SDSS J0100+2802, is 12.8 billion light years from Earth and was formed 900 million years after the Big Bang, which gave birth to the universe. Astronomers cannot explain how such an enormous black hole could have formed so soon after the first stars and galaxies emerged. The study found that these AGN winds are powerful enough to drive the large molecular outflows that reach to the edges of the galaxy's borders. Although theorists have suspected a connection between AGN winds and molecular outflows before, the current study is the first to confirm this link. 'This is the first galaxy in which we can see both the wind from the active galactic nucleus and the large-scale outflow of molecular gas at the same time,' said lead author Dr Francesco Tombesi, an assistant research scientist in the University of", "summary": "University of Maryland scientists present theory for galaxy cores .

Scientists have reported multiple cases of cape fur seals attacking blue sharks and eating their guts off the coast of South Africa. Diver Chris Fallows captured this image. The behaviour has left marine biologists baffled as to why the seals have turned to attacking the torpedo-shaped sharks . The seals, which are normally prey for great white sharks, have been seen attacking and killing medium-sized blue sharks, devouring their guts before leaving the rest of the carcass. Divers also report seeing the fur seals attacking other species of shark and rays.

The grim warning comes ahead of Mr Keen taking part in a debate tonight entitled: \u2018Be afraid, be very afraid: the robots are coming and they will destroy our livelihoods.\u2019 Economists used a simulated economy to create a model plotting a range of possible robot scenarios.

A study into the impact of the emergence of artificial intelligence and the rise of robots last week warned it will see unemployment soar, welfare costs increase and could even bring the global economy to its knees.

+{"article": "Early humans are widely regarded as having been voracious hunters whose appetite for meat contributed to the extinction of many of the large mammals that once roamed the planet. However, new research by paleontologists has suggested that our human ancestors may have started out as scavengers rather than the efficient killing machines they are often portrayed as. The findings could help to explain how early humans made the significant shift in their diet to consume meat and became one of the top predators on the planet. Scroll down for video . Homo erectus, pictured in the reconstruction above, needed around 2200 calories a day to survive and could have easily obtained this by scavenging meat left on the carcasses by predatory big cats in Africa at the time . Dr Briana Pobiner, a palaeoanthropologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, studied the meat left behind on modern lion kills to estimate whether early humans could have sustained themselves by picking the bones left behind by predators. She estimates that early humans like Homo erectus could have obtained enough meat to provide an entire days worth of energy from the scraps left behind by prehistoric predators. She told Mail Online: 'Early humans would have scavenged carcasses of animals that ranged in size from medium sized animals like wildebeest all the way up to huge extinct elephants, and animals that lived in a range of different habitats from more open grasslands to closed woodlands. 'Probably anything that wasn\u2019t too rotten was fair game.' Lions, like the two eating a zebra kill above, leave large amounts of their kills untouched, meaning there would have been plenty of meat for early humans to scavenge from carcasses left by prehistoric feline predators . She added that early humans probably survived though a combination of both hunting and scavenging. She said: 'I think it was both \u2013 probably a combination of scavenging from larger animals and hunting smaller animals. 'One major energetic advantage of scavenging is that you have a really high success rate in the sense that unless a carcass is absolutely picked clean, like what happens after vultures have gotten to it, you\u2019re virtually guaranteed to get some meat and marrow from what\u2019s left. 'With hunting, you can expend a lot of energy and come up empty-handed.' Dr Pobiner found that modern predators leave large amounts of meat on their kills (as shown above) and believes that prehistoric carnivores could have left even more to be picked clean by early humans . Speaking in a video on the Smithsonian website, she added: 'I've found in some of the fossils I studied that early humans got to these carcasses first and were able to eat the best parts of the animals. 'Sometimes carnivores got their first and early humans probably only got scraps. It has really big implications for a lot of other major changes that happened in human evolutionary history.

While the rest of the English Super League clubs spend two or even three nights on their annual trips to the south of France, the Rhinos charter their own plane to get them in and out of the city on the day of the game. It is a move that has paid off so far, with Brian McDermott's men winning on each of their last three trips to the Stade Gilbert Brutus, and the coach believes it could be even more important this time with the hectic Easter programme coming up. Leeds Rhinos boss Brian McDermott set for clash with Catalan Dragons in Perpignan on Saturday . 'There's a lot of meticulous planning involved but it's something we prefer to do and it's a more efficient way of doing it,' McDermott said. 'Sometimes we don't treat our players as robustly as they should be treated, certainly in terms of travel. 'It's worked well for us. I don't think travelling on the day of the game is as detrimental as you would imagine, although I wouldn't do it every single weekend. 'What it does do is help you recover for the following game. The players get to spend the night before they travel in their own bed and on the night of the game they're back in their own bed again, albeit later than normal.' The Dragons have also chartered their own plane for trips to England but they spent last week in Manchester to take in back-to-back away games against the two Hull clubs. Brad Singleton of Leeds Rhinos scores his teams third try of the game against Wigan last week . That exercise can only be described as a failure after Laurent Frayssinous' men lost both games, conceding 83 points in the process, but McDermott expects them to be back to their formidable best back on French soil, where they are unbeaten so far this year. 'I am sure they will be good,' McDermott said. 'They'll be determined to turn things around. Every team has a tussle with them when they go out there.' Saturday's meeting between the clubs will be the first since the Catalans ended Leeds' play-off hopes with a dramatic 24-20 triumph at Headingley last September.

'At the end of the day, we didn't feel good about it,' Bucs general manager Jason Licht told the Tampa Bay Times. The deal with Dallas is heavily incentive-driven and was first revealed by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The Carolina Panthers put the franchise tag on Hardy in February 2014, guaranteeing him $13.1. He was arrested and charged on May 13 with assaulting and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder. Hardy was found guilty on July 15 by a Mecklenburg County judge, but on appeal to a jury trial (a quirk of North Carolina law), charges were dropped when Holder refused to co-operate with the prosecutor. In purely football terms, the Cowboys have strengthened a position of need. Last season, the Cowboys defense mustered 28 sacks last season.

Vinegar isn\u2019t just for livening up fish and chips \u2014 doctors are now using its key ingredient to treat infections in knee replacements. Surgeons in Cardiff are applying acetic acid to kill bacteria when new knee joints become infected, thereby reducing the need for further surgery. In the UK, 82,000 knee replacement operations take place every year. But bacteria can get inside the knee during surgery, causing infection \u2014 sometimes years later \u2014 leading to inflammation and swelling. Untreated, this can cause the joint to loosen and eventually collapse. If the infection is superficial, oral antibiotics can be prescribed, but some infections don\u2019t respond. In such cases, surgeons\u2019 only option is to remove the replacement joint, cut away dead tissue, wash out the knee (using saline, to sterilise, or iodine, which has antimicrobial properties) and put in a new joint. Sometimes, they can put in the replacement knee during the same operation, but this is usually done six to eight weeks later. In the meantime, the knee is packed with a special \u2018cement\u2019, which releases high concentrations of antibiotics to ensure the infection is killed. Each operation costs \u00a315,000 to \u00a320,000. Now, surgeons at University Hospital of Wales and Spire Cardiff Hospital hope that bathing the site with vinegar when they remove the infected joint means they can replace the joint in just one operation. Tests have shown that soaking the biofilm (the sticky layer of bacteria inside the knee) in this acid solution effectively kills the bacteria better than standard saline, says Rhidian Morgan-Jones, consultant orthopaedic surgeon at both hospitals. \u2018We have treated around 25 patients in a prospective trial to show it is safe.

Scientists have discovered that navigational cells in the brain are just as active when we are asleep as when we are awake. The finding builds on last year's discovery of the brain\u2019s \u2018GPS system\u2019 which comprises clusters of cells that give us a sense of direction. Scientists have revealed that navigational brain cells (an illustration of neurons is shown) are just as active when we are asleep as when we are awake. They made their discovery in the brains of mice . Researchers from NYU Langone Medical Centre, in New York, focused on the 'head direction system' in mice, which acts as a compass. The brain cells in the systems fire more whenever a creature\u2019s head points in a certain direction. They found that these head direction neurons are active during sleep. The researchers studied brain activity in mice during deep, or rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, that\u2019s a stage known for intense dreaming activity in humans, during which brain electrical activity is virtually indistinguishable from that when awake. They found that during deep sleep, the 'needle' of the brain compass in the mice moved at the same speed when they were asleep, as when they were awake. The researchers studied brain activity in mice during slow-wave and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, that\u2019s a stage known for intense dreaming activity in humans, during which brain electrical activity is virtually indistinguishable from that when awake. A stock image is shown . For the first time, conscious memories have been implanted into the minds of mice while they slept. Scientists from the Industrial Physics and Chemistry Higher Educational Institution in Paris, France, used the brain's replay process - that of replaying the day's events - to create new memories in the brains of mice, while they slept. The team, led by Karim Benchenane, focused on place cells - which are neurons that fire in response to thinking about, or being in, a specific place \u2013 and help animals and humans form internal maps. He monitored the activity of these cells when the mice explored an \u2018arena\u2019 using electrodes, isolating the cell that fired in a certain arena location. While the mice slept, they monitored the creature\u2019s brain activity and when the specific place cell fired, an electrode stimulated the brain areas linked to reward. When the mice woke up, they immediately scurried to the location that was linked to the rewarding feeling, showing that a new pleasant memory of the place had been formed by the scientists. The feat offers hope that the same technique could one day be used to change human memories, which could help people who replay traumatic events over and over in their minds. During slow-wave periods of sleep however, when brain activity significantly decreases, they found a 10-fold acceleration of activity, so that the mice were \u2018looking around\u2019 even more than when they were awake. \u2018We have long known that the brain is at work", "summary": "Brain\u2019s \u2018GPS system\u2019 was only discovered by scientists last year .

Google is tightening supervision of its freewheeling Play store, forming a special team to screen new apps for malware and sexually explicit material, and strengthening its age-based rating system . The change underscores the growing importance of apps in the success of the companies' rival mobile gadgets. Google and Apple each manage online hubs with more than one million apps ranging from calendars to video games.

The developer policies exclude sexually explicit material, 'gratuitous violence,' hate speech, gambling, 'dangerous products,' spam and infringement of intellectual property.

The new process will not create bottlenecks, Google said, promising that approved apps will become available on Google Play within 'a matter of hours' after submission. Apple does not disclose its app review period, but the website appreviewtimes.com puts the average wait time at seven days for Apple's App Store.

Millions of Android handsets have been exposed to malware through malicious apps being offered on Google Play. The apps include the Durak card game, along with a history game and IQ test, which combined have been installed more than 15 million times. The apps cause unwanted adverts to display on users' phones and their abnormal behaviour sometimes doesn't appear until a month after installation. The apps were discovered after Prague-based antivirus provider, Avast, received a user complaint. 'This impression remains until you reboot your device and wait for a couple of days,' wrote Filip Chytry, an Avast mobile malware analyst.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, comes a day after Clinton broke her silence about her use of a private email account while secretary of state.

Scroll down for video . Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks to the reporters at the United Nations headquarters on Tuesday about her private email system. The Associated Press filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the State Department to force the release of email correspondence and government documents from Clinton's tenure . 'After careful deliberation and exhausting our other options, The Associated Press is taking the necessary legal steps to gain access to these important documents, which will shed light on actions by the State Department and former Secretary Clinton, a presumptive 2016 presidential candidate, during some of the most significant issues of our time,' said Karen Kaiser, AP's general counsel. 'The press is a proxy for the people, and AP will continue its pursuit of vital information that's in the public interest through this action and future open records requests,' she said.

He said the department takes requests 'first in, first out,' but noted that timing depends on 'the complexity of the request.' Michael Oreskes, a senior managing editor at AP, said the news agency was planning to file additional requests under FOIA following the disclosure last week that Clinton used a private email account run on a server on her property outside New York while working at the State Department. Clinton on Tuesday said she sent and received about 60,000 emails from her personal email address in her four years as President Barack Obama's secretary of state. She said roughly half were work-related, which she turned over to the State Department, while deleting tens of thousands more that were personal in nature.

Many have hearing damage as a result of being exposed to loud noise, be it in industry, the armed forces or the music business. Last month, the World Health Organisation said people should listen to music for no more than an hour a day, to prevent damage to their hearing. Tinnitus can also be triggered by conditions such as Meniere\u2019s disease, or in older people it can occur as a result of age-related hearing loss. Sufferers experience a constant whirring or whistling in their ears and many struggle to find an effective treatment. At first Paul, now 56, experienced \u2018a whine in my ears that was louder in my right ear, a bit like the sound of a jet turbine cranking up.\u2019 It was worse after gigs, but it would come and go, until one night in 1995 while Paul was on stage with Captain Sensible (who topped the charts with his cover of Happy Talk in the Eighties). \u2018There was this deafening screech of feedback, so loud that it physically knocked me several feet back,\u2019 he says. \u2018I ran off before the next song and stuffed toilet paper in my ears, but the damage had been done.\u2019 Afterwards any sudden noise \u2014 doors banging, car breaks, shouting \u2014 would make him jump. Back home in Cardiff, Paul\u2019s doctor referred him to a specialist at the University Hospital of Wales Ear, Nose and Throat Department, who diagnosed \u2018high-frequency hearing loss\u2019 after acoustic trauma, and advised him to limit his exposure to noise \u2014 and to get a new career.

All 551 rooms were taken when we stayed, housing around 1,100 adults and 500 children. But there was never any sense we were competing for space. This may well be because the site is set in 100 acres, has seven pools, water slides, beaches, an amphitheatre, five bars and seven restaurants.

'He said that the Manchester United team had watched me in the clips before the game - that was a massive confidence booster for me to have someone like that say that.' Armstrong added: 'He came into our meeting and answered questions from all the lads and then I managed to speak with him one-on-one.

She died on Saturday March 7, according to The Smoking Gun. Izola Ware Curry, (right in 1958) 98, died on March 7, more than 56 years after she attempted to kill Dr Martin Luther King Jr with a letter opener at a Harlem book signing . Curry attacked the civil rights leader because she had delusions that he and the NAACP were watching her and preventing her from holding a job . Curry was originally sent to Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and spent many years living anonymously despite the 1958 attack at Blumstein's Department Store in Harlem. She was also carrying a loaded pistol in her bra at the time. Dr King survived the incident at Blumstein's Department Store, where he was signing his first book Stride Toward Freedom, by fractions of an inch. The knife came close to puncturing his aorta and he could have died at the store if bystanders had taken the weapon out of his chest before his three-hour surgery. He referred to the incident in his I've Been To The Mountaintop speech, the last remarks he gave before his assassination on April 4, 1968 by James Earl Ray. The Nobel Peace Prize winner said that if he had sneezed then he would have died after being stabbed by the 'demented black woman'. Curry, who believed that the NAACP and Dr King had been watching her and preventing her from getting employment, was originally sent to Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Dr King had been signing his first book, Stride Toward Freedom, when Curry approached and stabbed him. The attacker was also carrying a loaded pistol in her bra . She was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and had an estimated IQ of 70. Dr King, who would accomplish some of his life's greatest work in the next ten years, said he bore her no ill will after the attack. He said that the incident 'demonstrates that a climate of hatred and bitterness so permeates our nation that inevitably deeds of extreme violence must erupt'. Born in Georgia in 1916, she moved between Georgia, Florida, St. Louis, and New York and worked as a housekeeper, factory worker and cook. However, her mentally illness made it difficult for her to keep a job. She remained in state custody at mental health institutions and the 'family care' program in peoples homes. He delusions and imagined voices were reportedly gone by 1980.

Vanity Fair's Michael Shnayerson alleges in 'The Contender' that the couple started talking 'not if but when' to divorce just two months after the birth of their third daughter Michaela in 1997.

Shnayerson did not interview Cuomo himself. Shnayerson quotes a Douglas Kennedy - Kerry's 46-year-old younger brother - who says that while Cuomo treasured the connection to the Kennedy family, he loathed participating in reunions at the family's estate in Hyannis, Massachusetts and eventually stopped going altogether. Douglas Kennedy said on one occasion, when the Kennedys spent a night partying and singing, Cuomo stood by 'looking disgusted'.

Perhaps one of the most painful digs at the Kennedy family was the Manhattan party that acted as the informal launch for Cuomo's 2002 campaign for governor. At the party, the Rolling Stones song 'Sympathy for the Devil' was played at high-volume - a song which deals with the assassinations of both President John F Kennedy and Kerry father's Robert F Kennedy. The Kennedy's who were in the room for the party were aghast, but it's unclear if Cuomo was behind the decision to play the song. Disdain for the in-laws wasn't the only issue between the political couple. Kerry Kennedy and Cuomo harbored ill-feelings about the little things too, the book claims. When she first started dating Cuomo, Kennedy allegedly 'rolled her eyes a bit' when she saw the plastic covers he kept", "summary": "Kerry Kennedy and Andrew Cuomo were married in 1990, merging two political dynasties .

Qantas made the move from Costa Mesa, an hour and a half south of Los Angeles Airport, to the Anaheim Hilton in the last 12 months. In the last 12 months Qantas staff have been staying at The Anaheim Hilton which is right next door to Disneyland and its convention centre .

The new Porsche Design P'9983 Graphite smartphone from BlackBerry boasts a hand wrapped leather battery case, 'glass-like' keys and even a personalised PIN so everyone know you own one. Pioneered in 1999 with the launch of the RIM 950, BlackBerry changed the culture by allowing on-the-go business people to access email wirelessly. Then came a new generation of competing smartphones, and suddenly the BlackBerry looked ancient. Apple showed that phones can handle much more than email and phone calls. Blackberry was late in overhauling its operating system to compete. BlackBerry now holds a small fraction of the U.S. smartphone market after commanding a nearly 50 percent share as recently as 2009. 'This new member to the P'9983 family will provide exclusive graphite-metallic colored elements and the finest, hand-wrapped leather on the back door cover,' the firm boasts. 'This new Porsche Design P'9983 Graphite smartphone from BlackBerry will combine a unique stylish design from an iconic, timeless brand with the fluid and effortless productivity experience of BlackBerry 10 technology.' Porsche Design worked with BlackBerry to design the keyboard to use glass-like keys, blackened glass and a graphite stainless steel color frame. 'The iconic styling of the new P'9983 Graphite from BlackBerry is technically inspired with longevity, integrity, and individuality at its core,' says Roland Heiler, Chief Design Officer of the Porsche Design Group. 'And it will offer a new way to express individual style with the luxury of being one step ahead.' 'Finally, an exclusive Porsche Design PIN ID group - 2AAXXXXX, sets you apart and makes you instantly recognized among other Porsche Design users.' The firm also hopes a physical keyboard will help sales. The physical keyboard is something traditional BlackBerry users prefer because they find it easier than touch screens to type with. The company is also emphasizing battery life and security. 'A lot of people say the Classic is aiming for loyal customers. And that is true,' CEO John Chen said at the gadget's launch event, tellingly held in New York City's Financial District. But he also invited people who haven't used a BlackBerry 'especially people who are young,' to try the BlackBerry Classic. The handsets have a legion of loyal fans. 'I love a BlackBerry,' Kardashian West admitted to the Code Mobile conference earlier this year.

In a series of stunts that should most certainly not be tried at home, Zhao Rui held a running electric drill to the side of his head without breaking the skin, bent an iron bar against a wall with his throat, and led on metal spears while breaking stones with his head. According to People's Daily Online, Zhao held the powerful drill against his temple for 10 seconds - but only left a small red mark where it had been. Headache: Zhao Rui holds a running power drill against his head for 10 seconds without injury . The display was intended to show how the 24-year-old had trained his body during his years of martial arts training - and his skills have made him a celebrity in his home city of Mianzhu in south-western China's Sichuan province. But the 24-year-old admitted that he has previously accidentally drilled a hole in his head when practising the stunt, ripping off a large piece of skin. He said: 'It was pretty painful but I got better and I learned from the experience and now I can practice pretty often without any problems.' And to prove the point he held a drill against his head for 10 seconds. Bending the rules: He also bends iron bars between his throat and a wall . Scoring points: His routine also involves lying on metal spikes while breaking stones over his head . Eyewitness Lian Tang, 25, said: 'It was incredible because after he removed it, there was no blood, only a bright red mark where the drill head had been.' The kung fu master started learning martial arts as a child after becoming fascinated with the discipline and at the age of 16 ran away to join a Shaolin Temple. He mainly wanted to learn Sanda (Chinese kick-boxing) and 'hard Qigong', which draws strength from the inner energy force known as qi. He studied there for two years before leaving to continue his studies in kung fu from other masters - and now he is a master himself. The drill is just one of the stunts he uses to demonstrate his skill, and he also can use his supertough skin to lie on sharpened spears without any of them piercing his body, or can bend an iron bar by pressing it between his throat and a wall. He said: 'I believe in making my body super tough.

It isn\u2019t quite as simple as that, because Freddy is the son of Steve, 1980 Olympic 800 metres gold medallist and a legend of British sport, whose rivalry with Sebastian Coe captivated a global audience. Three decades on, Freddy is forging his own path \u2014 but as a cyclist, not a runner, having switched sports 18 months ago and made such rapid progress that he has trained with Chris Froome, the 2013 Tour de France winner, and recently signed with France\u2019s top development team. Cyclist Freddy Ovett is all smiles as poses for a picture with his former athlete father Steve Ovett .

But he has continued to fight to have the law nullified and named repeal a top priority in a speech announcing his candidacy for higher office on Monday. The White House was won't to react that afternoon to Cruz's entry into the 2016 brawl but it did rib him over his campaign promise to throw out the sitting president's signature policy achievement.

In a twist of irony, Cruz said Tuesday that he would sign his family up for Obamacare.

Randy Work, a former key executive in Texas-based private equity company Lone Star, had argued in court that his wife was only entitled to \u00a35m. The 47-year-old said that 'unfortunately' the mother of his two teenage children, Mandy Gray, 45, had failed to abide by a post-nuptial agreement. Highly successful businessman Randy Work (right), who was 'not willing to pay a penny' to his wife Mandy Gray (left) in a multimillion-pound divorce battle, has been told by a judge that he must hand over around \u00a380m . She was therefore prevented from receiving a more substantial sum - and would be given little over \u00a33m when bills were paid. But Mr Justice Holman, sitting in London, disagreed and told Mr Work: 'Having offered to pay her nothing you now have to pay her tens of millions of US dollars.' He had told the businessman previously: 'I am not sure you and I are on the same planet.' The judge, sitting in the Family Division of London's High Court, said the couple had been equal partners in a relationship of more than 20 years. They married 'without a bean' and the husband made his \u00a3150m fortune during the course of their marriage while supported by his wife, he added. Mr Work's lawyers suggested he was entitled to a greater share of money because he made a 'special contribution' through his skills at wealth-creating. Ms Gray arrives at the Royal Courts of Justice with her lawyer Fiona Shackleton (right in both pictures). Mr Work had argued the mother-of-two was only entitled to \u00a35m after breaking a post-nuptial agreement . In the witness box, the tycoon described how he had gone to Japan and made billions of dollars for Lone Star, buying up real estate, including troubled golf courses, after the Japanese economy became stuck in a sharp downturn. Mr Work was 'the breadwinner' and Ms Gray 'the homemaker', the court was told. He added that Ms Gray had been 'a good wife' over 20 years and 'a good mother' and would have been entitled to at least \u00a370 million, the 'total sum payable' under the post-nup agreement they signed in October 2000. But he argued that she was not entitled to any of his money, or any of his property, after coming to court to seek a better settlement. The judge disagreed and said: 'It would, in my view, be unsatisfactory and gender discriminatory now to make an unequal award.' Mr Work (above) must now pay \u00a339m to Ms Gray within 28 days and the whole sum within 90 days . He urged the couple to compromise and agree on a fair division of assets, including antique furniture and modern art, to achieve equal shares and 'to stop this terrible conflict'.

Raymond Sherrard, a retired special agent from the IRS, wrote The Encyclopedia of Federal Law Enforcement Patches to keep track of all the creative images. There are an estimated 20,000 federal patches in existence today, according to the Washington Post. But the field of crime where DEA agents worked, drugs, spawned some of the most interesting, including scores of swatches with dragons, grim reapers, a scorpion wearing a surveillance headset and slogans such as 'you make it, we'll take it.'

During a visit to an airbase yesterday, the despot hailed International Women's Day by handing out free make-up and sending congratulations to the wives of airmen in honour of the occasion. While not meeting any of the men's partners in person, he was said to have asked commanding officers to pass on his gifts of food and cosmetics.

Instead of transforming people into a charitable benefactors, Professor Paul Piff believes money causes people to break the rules at the expense of others. Professor Paul Piff from the University of California, Berkeley, has revealed several experiments in which the rich struggled with empathy and generosity towards others, compared with their poorer companions . 'It makes you more attuned to your own interests, your own desires, your own welfare,' the University of California, Berkeley, researcher told Lucy Hooker at the BBC. 'It isolates you in certain ways from other people psychologically and materially. You prioritise your own needs and your own goals and become less attuned to those around you. In one experiment, Professor Piff spent an afternoon going back and forth over a pedestrian crossing in Los Angeles. He found that none of the least expensive cars broke the law, while almost 50 per cent of the most expensive car drivers sped across the pedestrian crossing. In another recent study, Professor Piff brought in more than 100 pairs of strangers into the lab, and flipped a coin to assigned one of the two to be a rich player in a rigged Monopoly game. The rich players collected twice the salary when they passed Go, and they were able to roll both dice instead of one, so they got to move around the board more. Money isolates people psychologically and materially, according to recent research. As a result they prioritise their own needs and goals and become less attuned to those around them . Hidden cameras revealed, over the course of 15 minutes, the rich player showing signs of dominance, smacking the board with their piece and talking loudly. The rich players also became ruder toward the other person, less sensitive to the plight of the poor players, and more demonstrative of their material success. The feeling of power has been found to have a similar effect on the brain to cocaine. It increases the levels of testosterone and its by-product 3-androstanediol in both men and women. This in turn leads to raised levels of dopamine, the brain's reward system called the nucleus accumbens, which can be very addictive. Like cocaine, scientists now believe power can lead to too much dopamine causing more negative effects such as arrogance and impatience. 'When the rich players talked about why they had inevitably won in this rigged game of Monopoly they talked about what they'd done to buy those different properties and earn their success in the game,' Professor Piff said in a recent Ted talk. 'They became far less attuned to all those different features of the situation, including that flip of a coin that had randomly gotten them into that privileged position in the first place.

Some wards are more than 95 per cent full - well over the 85 per cent considered safe \u2013 placing patients at far higher risk of infections and neglect. A report by the Kings Fund today also warns that standards across the NHS including hitting waiting times and financial targets have slipped for the first time in 20 years. NHS hospitals are becoming \u2018dangerously\u2019 overcrowded and targets for waiting times are slipping, experts warn . The think-tank predicts there is a \u2018real risk\u2019 patient care will worsen next year because the health service is running out of money. Its experts are particularly concerned that many hospitals are becoming so overcrowded their wards are unsafe. Figures show that the average NHS hospital is 90 per cent full but in the last three months to December almost a fifth were more than 95 per cent occupied. This is partly because many hospitals have lost beds and closed wards as part of a long-term drive to treat more patients at home. John Appleby, chief economist at the Kings Fund, called the report 'worrying' The numbers of beds has halved in 26 years from around 300,000 in 1987/8 to 150,000 last year. But over that time, the numbers of frail patients being admitted to hospital from A&E has increased and they are being packed onto crowded wards where there is a high turnover. John Appleby, chief economist at the Kings Fund said: \u2018That is very worrying.\u2019 \u2018There is clearly pressure in the system to use beds more intensively as the money is tighter, but patients keep turning up at the front door. \u2018If they are used too intensively you haven\u2019t got time to clean up between patients. \u2018The pressure is building and bubbling out in terms of bed occupancy levels which are getting dangerously high.\u2019 \u2018There are potential dangers with infections and not having enough time to clean beds.\u2019 The report also warns that targets for waiting times in A&E, cancer treatment and other operations and procedures have been repeatedly missed over the last year. And it predicts the waits may well get even longer next year as hospitals just do not have enough money to ensure patients are treated promptly. The NHS will have overspent its budget by more than \u00a3800 million by the end of this financial year and half of hospitals will be in the red. Mr Appleby added: \u2018The next Government will inherit a health service that has run out of money and is operating at the very edge of its limits. \u2018While the NHS has performed well in the face of huge challenges, there is now a real risk that patient care will deteriorate as service and financial pressures become overwhelming. Andy Burnham MP, Labour's Shadow Health Secretary, said the report was proof that David Cameron had \u2018broken\u2019 his promise to protect the NHS . \u2018Our assessment is it's going to be very difficult indeed next year. \u2018My speculation would be that", "summary": "A new report has said hospitals are becoming \u2018dangerously\u2019 overcrowded .

The island, which has it's own native dialect called Norfuk, will no longer run its own immigration, customs, quarantine, education, police and social services, according to The Telegraph. Australia's assistant regional development minister, Jamie Briggs, said the changes were long overdue and it was not sustainable to ask a community of just 1,800 to deliver local, state and federal services. He said the infrastructure on Norfolk Island was run down, the health system is not up to standard and the laws are out of date. 'The community overwhelmingly supports reform and is of the view that the current governance arrangements are not suitable,' he said, adding that Norfolk Island was effectively in administration and reliant on Australian bailouts.

The 38-year-old from the Uighur minority received several warnings before attending court in Kashgar, local newspapers reported. His wife was also given a two-year sentence for wearing a veil that hid her face. In China authorities widely discourage growing a beard because they say it is linked to extremist ideals. The Uighurs vehemently dispute this claim. A Uighur man in China has been sentenced to six years in prison for 'provoking trouble' because he grew a beard. Above, a rare photo of two men from the Uighur minority who were not involved in the court case . The unnamed man started growing facial hair in 2010 before being accused of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' by officials. A campaign dubbed 'Project Beauty' similarly encourages women to leave their heads bare and abandon wearing the veil - a relatively widespread practice among the Uighurs. Speaking after the court case officials said: 'Since the beginning of the year, a certain number of people breaking the regulation on beards, veils and burqa have been prosecuted and sentenced.' The repression of the Uighurs has been fanning tensions in the region for more than a year. The 38-year-old's wife was also given a two-year sentence for hiding her face. Above, a stock image of a woman defying officials by wearing a colourful veil . In 2013 Chinese authorities flooded into the region after a wave of unrest caused tension between the Uighurs and the Han Chinese, the majority ethnic group . Violence increased last year and at least 200 people were killed in a series of bombings and deadly clashes with security forces. In April authorities in Xinjiang's Shaya county offered cash to informants to report on neighbours with excessive facial hair. And in August authorities in Karamay city banned people with large beards or Islamic clothing from travelling on public buses. The origins of the Uighur tribe lie deep in the Altai mountains of Mongolia - or in Turkmenistan, depending on which version of the story you believe. According to the Uighurs, their origins are Turkic and date back more than 5,000 years. They now reside in the Xinjiang region. By contrast, the Chinese say the Uighurs are descendants of the Tiele tribes of Mongolia, who by 842, had coalesced into the Uighur people and moved to the Tarim Basin in what is now modern China. Either way, the debate around the origins of the Uighurs is yet another skirmish in the ongoing battle between the majority-Muslim tribe and the Han Chinese, the country's majority ethnic group. Mainly tolerated during the long rule of the Chinese emperors, the real problems for the Uighurs began in 1949. After a failed bid for independence, the Chinese cracked down on the fledgling state.

Conservation: William met Ran Ran the rescue elephant during a visit to China's Yunnan Province . However, when the prince was asked about the 'cruel' performances taking place just down the road, he turned away, saying nothing. Later, he did speak about the plight of China's elephants, although he once again steered clear of discussing the circus, which is on the same site as the sanctuary he was visiting. 'It is appalling that elephants and many others may be extinct in the wild in our lifetimes, and we seem to be hurtling towards the tragic outcome,' he said. 'The extinction of animals such as elephants, rhinos and pangolins would be an immeasurable loss to the whole of humanity.'

A grandfather whose body was found alongside his slain seven-year-old grandson and heavily pregnant daughter in a suspected murder-suicide, was well known to police and had a long history of mental illness. Derek John Sharpley, 52, was found dead of gunshot wounds to the head in the same room that his grandson Jackson's body was found tucked into a bed at his Biddeston property, west of Brisbane in Queensland. His 27-year-old daughter Kris-Deann Sharpley, who had moved to the Queensland town in 2011 to care for him following her mother's death, also died of gunshot wounds to the head and was found in the bathroom. Detective Inspector David Isherwood would not confirm the details of Mr Sharpley's criminal history, but told Daily Mail Australia that there had been no recent incidents. 'They [the family] are known to police and in regard to criminal history; the reality is that while he has a criminal history, it's not recent history,' Inspector Isherwood said.

Inspector Isherwood said there were no signs of physical injury on the child's body and that police were awaiting further results before making any conclusions about how he died. 'There are a couple of issues, they [forensic pathologists] think, with the decomposition. You'd think that with strangulation there would be lesion marks on the neck.

'Suffocation is very hard to prove, so the issue we've got is we really don't know'. Detective Inspector David Isherwood told Daily Mail Australia that Mr Sharpley 'was not the owner of a registered firearm', but would not release any other information about the gun used to kill the two adults .

This plaque can lead to the death of nerve cells and loss of brain tissue, causing devastating symptoms such as memory loss and personality changes. Dr Eric Karran, director of research at Alzheimer\u2019s Research UK, says the drug could prove an effective \u2013 and safe \u2013 treatment. He adds: \u2018These are very promising early results. It will be important to see results from much larger trials before we can understand how effective this treatment may be.\u2019 The year-long early-stage trial saw 166 patients with mild or early symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s given either aduncanumab in varying doses, or a placebo.

'At the very least 860,000 women and girls - and also men and young boys - were raped by the occupying Allied soldiers and their helpers. It happened everywhere,' begins the book. A new book claims Allied troops raped German women during the Second World War by manipulating them with gifts of chocolate and cigarettes. Above, a soldier takes a photograph of a German woman . Until now it was widely thought that only the Red Army, which advanced on Germany with rape as a weapon sanctioned by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, committed the mass rapes upon tens of thousands of women, many of whom committed suicide. 'Soldiers of the western Allies were also guilty,' said Mrs. Gebhardt, a renowned historian in Germany who tracked down some victims to interview them about their ordeal at the hands of Briish and American soldiers. 'I researched the book for over a year and-a-half,' she said. 'I wanted to tell the story of what 'happened from the perspective of the victims. I wanted to reconstruct the crimes as gently as I could.' She said the 'terrible crimes' did not only take place in the Soviet zones of occupation - long chronicled and well-known about - but also in French, British and American sectors. A familiar slogan of the times was: 'It took six years for the Americans to struggle against the German armies but it only took a day and a slab of chocolate for them to conquer German women.' But not all collaboration in the bedroom was voluntary, writes Gebhardt. German author Miriam Gebhardt made the claims in a new book . She said the false impression grew up after the war that German women gave themselves to western soldiers because they brought with them things they desperately needed - nylons, food, cigarettes, coffee. 'The impression grew that there was no rape in the west but rather a kind of prostitution grew up,' said the author. But in fact countless women were raped, she said, with soldiers believing they could treat the as they wanted after bearing coveted gifts. 'Post-war society was hardly ready to differentiate between voluntary and forced sexual contact. 'Between women who prostituted themselves out of emergency needs and those who had become victims of rape.' Added to the trauma of the western victims was the shame suffered by the children they bore from their attackers. 'Their fathers were, mostly, unknown, and the women received no financial help at all,' said Gebhardt. She said in parts of southern Germany, occupied by American troops, there were often 'free nights' where soldiers were encouraged to abuse women at will for up to 48 hours at a time. The alleged victims are 'relieved' their", "summary": "'When The Soldiers Came' claims Allied troops raped one million women . Children, men and young boys were also abused by soldiers, it claims .

However, as head coach John Carver prepares for Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture against Arsenal at St James' Park with suspension and injury severely limiting his options, Gutierrez is offering his services in whatever role he is needed.

In 1995, Alonso was a 13-year-old pupil at Holy Guardian Angel School in his home town of Oviedo, northern Spain. When doctors pressed him further, Alonso, 33, could not remember his debut with Minardi in 2001 or his world championships for Renault in 2005 and 2006.

'This is going to be an exciting sample to play with,' Jill Mikucki, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Tennessee told The Antarctic Sun. She explained that Blood Falls' deep red hue is caused by the discharge of iron-rich, brine liquid.

If you want to reach any point, you can go there,' Dirk Heinen, a German physicist told The Antarctic Sun. To help the probe navigate, scientists sent acoustic pulses from the surface into the ice.

Other objects appear different colours because they absorb certain wavelengths of visible light but reflect others - a green apple, for instance, reflects only mostly the green wavelength.

Referencing the video, Denise said the fruit bat was initially a little feisty until it spied the banana. After that he was happy once and began stuffing his face with the food \u2013 as is seen in the video. There's no need to be scared of these bats judging by the adorable rescue animal at Denise's shelter . Denise told MailOnline: 'Rain is good news for the coming winter but it's not such good news for hungry bat bellies. 'Although there is a magnificent array of native flowering occurring, rain washes the nectar and pollen out of the blossom and flying-foxes are forced to seek sustenance elsewhere. 'As a result we get an increased number of calls for bats trapped in large aperture fruit tree netting during and after rain events.' Denise added: 'Please net, grow and harvest sustainably. Never use any netting you can poke your finger through and use shadecloth or a similar weave to protect your fruit. Even better still, take what you need and share the rest with our wildlife.'", "summary": "The bat is wide-eyed in excitement as it munches on the banana .

+{"article": "Labour's flagship energy price freeze was in further chaos last night as Ed Miliband was forced to re-launch it as a drive to cut fuel costs. His pledge to freeze bills for 20 months was left in turmoil earlier this year by tumbling wholesale prices. Today, the Labour leader will announce that he would pass a law to force the regulator Ofgem to push prices down by up to \u00a3100 this winter. Scroll down for video . Ed Miliband has been forced to clarify his energy policy after tumbling wholesale prices demolished the concept of a price freeze, and now he says he will force suppliers to drop bills by \u00a3100 this winter . But critics pointed out that when he announced the price freeze, in a blaze of publicity in 2013, he called for Ofgem to be abolished. His officials are now drafting legislation to allow Ofgem to \u2018put an immediate end to the overcharging by the Big Six energy firms\u2019 which costs families and business around \u00a32.5billion a year. Labour was forced to \u2018rebrand\u2019 the proposed freeze as a price cap when power companies started reducing household fuel bills earlier this year in response to falling wholesale costs. The party had to issue a \u2018clarification\u2019 that they would also allow household energy bills to fall and they would not be frozen at a higher level than necessary. Mr Miliband had been criticised for intervening in the market and the industry warned it would put investment in jeopardy. The Conservatives have pointed out that if energy prices had been frozen when Mr Miliband announced the policy, it would have meant families paying bills \u00a3100 higher than necessary today. If Miliband had frozen gas prices when he announced his policy back in 2013, households would now be paying \u00a3100 more than necessary after falling wholesale prices drove down bills . Opponents of Mr Miliband say this mistake reveals the danger of meddling in a free market, and warn that any further intervention could risk investment and jobs . Last night energy minister Matt Hancock said: \u2018This is now the sixth version of a chaotic Labour energy policy that would have put up families\u2019 bills by \u00a3100 and could do the same again \u2013 their record at setting prices has been a disaster. \u2018And only Ed Miliband could propose giving a new power to a regulator he plans to scrap. This incompetence is exactly why Ed Miliband isn\u2019t up to the job. Hardworking taxpayers would pay the price with higher bills.\u2019 Mr Miliband will say today that in one of his first bills of the next Parliament, he would give Ofgem \u2018a legal duty to review prices by the autumn \u2013 and the power to order price reductions in time for the winter\u2019. He will accuse the Conservatives of failing to stand up to \u2018vested interests\u2019. \u2018We live in a country where you can\u2019t fulfil one of the foundations of family life \u2013 keeping your home warm \u2013 without being overcharged by one of the big energy firms\u2019, he will say. \u2018It\u2019s been", "summary": "Miliband had promised to freeze gas and electricity bills back in 2013 .

But the ingredients were similar. The club was under-achieving, languishing in 11th place when they had been expected to challenge at the top of the table.

The team rebelled against Van Gaal's own decision to walk out leave them and demanded him back. Led by captain Stijn Schaars, central defender and vice-captain Kew Jaliens, midfielder David Mendes and Australian goalkeeper Joey Didulica the team leaders asked for a crisis meeting with the directors and the owner of the club. 'We felt insulted when the club told us Van Gaal was leaving,' said Kew Jaliens. 'The entire squad, felt that Van Gaal is the right man and the only man who could take this club and our squad to a higher level.' As United travel to Liverpool on Sunday with Champions League qualification hanging in the balance, the question is whether United's players and directors would do the same for Van Gaal today.

+{"article": "David Cameron's former 'back to work tsar' Emma Harrison founded the company A4e . Ten workers at a controversial company used by the Government to get people off benefits forged signatures in a \u00a3300,000 fake jobs fraud, a court heard today. The group were employed by the firm A4e which was paid millions of pounds to help people from difficult backgrounds get a job. The company was founded by David Cameron's former 'back to work Tsar' Emma Harrison, who was forced to step down from her role after fraud allegations first came to light in 2012. During a 13-week trial at Reading Crown Court it emerged that 10 staff at the company falsely claimed they had helped people find jobs to hit bonus targets. Some even falsified files using the names of family members, while others offered bribes in the form of vouchers to get people to fill out false forms. Four defendants were convicted in connection with the fraud after six of their colleagues had previously pleaded guilty. Ines Cano-Uribe, 39, of Madrid, Spain, was found guilty of two counts of forgery, while Zabar Khalil, 35, Matthew Hannigan-Train, 31 and Hayley Wilson, 27, were each found guilty of one count of forgery. Summing up for the prosecution, Sarah Wood said that between them they had created 167 false claims, a fraud which cost the Department for Work and Pensions - which contracted A4e to carry out the work - around \u00a3300,000. The court heard that A4e ran the Aspire to Inspire lone parent mentoring programme between 2008 and 2011. The contract covered Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire and was funded by the European Social Fund. A4e was paid \u00a31.3million for the contract and \u00a310,500 a month to implement it. The company received payments for each person it helped gain employment. The court heard that while A4e helped 558 people find jobs, staff lied about others. Ms Wood said: 'The total amount of fraudulent claiming was 167 files, for a total loss of \u00a3288,595.' During the period one of the workers falsified a 'successful job' in her nephew's name and another supposedly for her husband. Another worker bribed a man with \u00a3150 of vouchers to sign forms saying he had been through A4e training. Ten workers at the firm A4e - which was employed by the Government to get people off benefits - are being sentenced for ripping off taxpayers in a \u00a3300,000 fraud . The crimes came to light when an employee at A4e blew the whistle on the scam. A4e was founded in 1991 by Emma Harrison, who was later appointed by Prime Minister David Cameron as the Government's 'families champion', an advisory role on troubled homes. The firm signed the \u00a31.3 million, three-year Inspire to Aspire contract in August 2008.

Adelaide's Karl Gautam wants single thongs to find the perfect partner . HavyMatch Facebook page is trying to get the right match for thongs who are now on their own .

'So I went on my Facebook page and asked if anyone had any thongs that could match up with any of them. These single thongs were washed up on an Adelaide river bank.

The Food Standards Agency has found that up to 79 per cent of raw birds on sale are contaminated with campylobacter \u2013 the country\u2019s most common cause of food poisoning. Levels are dangerously high in 19 per cent of chickens and the agency has demanded this figure should be below 10 per cent by year\u2019s end. Tests last month revealed 73 per cent of chickens in supermarkets contained potentially lethal food poisoning bug campylobacter, which makes 280,000 people ill every year . It says however that Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury\u2019s, Morrisons, Waitrose and the Co-op are failing to help. Only Marks & Spencer is giving updates on its plans and progress in tackling campylobacter.

Chief executive Catherine Brown said supermarkets had \u2018pushed back\u2019 against providing information and claimed the stores were unhappy over the FSA\u2019s publication of campylobacter league tables. Experts fear the stand-off will make it more difficult to tackle a bug that hits an estimated 280,000 people every year, killing 100. Campylobacter also costs \u00a3900million in terms of NHS treatment and in lost productivity due to victims being too sick to work.

Angelo Provenzano, 39, is now earning a living from talking to holidaymakers in Palermo about his childhood on the run after being signed up with the Boston-based Overseas Adventure Travel. Angelo, the son of mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano, is earning a living discussing his father's life to tourists . The notorious 'boss of bosses' was eventually captured after being caught in a farmhouse in April 2006 . A poster from 2005, a year before he was caught - Bernardo spent 43 years on the run before he was caught . His father, now, 82, is serving a life sentence for mafia crimes, including his involvement in the murders of the magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in 1992. He spent 43 years on the run before being arrested in 2006 near his birthplace of Corleone, the name immortalised in The Godfather Hollywood movies based on Mario Puzo's books. He is said to have carried out 40 murders himself and ordered the deaths of at least 120 others in a career spanning more than 60 years after he joined the mob as a teenager. When the then chief Totto Riina was captured in 1993, Provenzano eventually became the 'capo di tutti capi' ('boss of bosses') of the 'Cosa Nostra'. Overseas Adventure Tour offer on their website 'an enlightening discussion about the Sicilian Mafia' But furious campaigners have denounced the move by the travel company, describing it as a story that 'still drips with blood'. Dino Paternostro, an anti-mafia campaigner from the Provenzanos' home town of Corleone, told the Times: 'I don't know what Angelo Provenzano tells the tourists, but I'm sure he doesn't tell them of the unspeakable acts of violence committed by Cosa Nostra and by a ferocious boss like his father.

Its discovery pushes back the start of the evolution of multicellular animals to before the Cambrian explosion 541 million years ago. A 'nearly pristine' 600 million-year-old sponge has been uncovered in southern China.Scientists believe the sponge \u2013 which represents the most primitive creature on Earth - is the oldest ever found . The Cambrian Explosion, around 541 million years ago, was a wide variety of animals burst onto the evolutionary scene. Before about 580 million years ago, most organisms were simple, composed of individual cells occasionally organised into colonies. Over the following 70 or 80 million years, the rate of evolution accelerated and the diversity of life began to resemble that of today. It ended with the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction event, approximately 488 million years ago. The latest discovery pushes back the date of multicellular animal evolution to 60 million years before the Cambrian explosion started. Sponges, also known as Porifera, are multicellular organisms that have bodies covered with pores and channels that allow water to circulate through them. Scientists have still to confirm when they first appeared on Earth. Estimates range from 700 million years ago to a time known as the Cambrian period, which took place 541 million to 485 million years ago. The latest finding would place the sponge around 60 million years before the Cambrian started. Researchers want to pin down the date because they believe it is key to understanding early animal evolution. The split between sponges and most other animals was a major event in the early history of life on our planet. The sponge, found in the Doushantuo Formation, is just over one millimetre in height and width, according to researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology. To get a good look, scientists used scanning electron microscopy and X-ray technology. The team has named it Eocyathispongia qiania and say that it is made up of hundreds of thousands of cells. Its structure is formed in three tube-like chambers that are fixed to a common base, with cell structures that resemble those in modern sponges. Scientists also found surface cells that indicate pores, like modern sponges, which control water flowing into the organism. The sponge, found in the Doushantuo Formation in southern China (left), suggests the date of multicellular animal evolution was 60 million years before the Cambrian explosion started.

The headphones had caused a sensation when they were unveiled during the fashion house's recent autumn/winter 2015 show during Milan Fashion Week. Scroll down for video . Adriana Duque says her 2011 photographs (one of which is pictured above) featuring jewel-encrusted headphones were the inspiration for Dolce & Gabbana's catwalk pieces .

The headphones worn by the models are made of leather and are fully covered in the brand\u2019s signature jewellery, embellished with materials like pearls, gold chains, Swarovski crystals and velvet across the earpieces and bridge. The headphones were supposed to be just for the catwalk, but were so popular they are now available after the Dolce & Gabbana collaborated with Tech brand Frends. Frends confirmed that two of the original catwalk versions have officially landed on American online retailer Moda Operandi and are ready to pre-order for expected delivery between July and October.

The almost weekly raids now being carried out by anti-terror police are taking place throughout Britain; from the eastern port of Dover to the western town of Hayle in Cornwall, and from Portsmouth on the south coast to Manchester and Bolton in the North. Whether it is stopping would-be jihadis from travelling to the Middle East, foiling planned plots when they return or disrupting their funding networks, the conflict in Syria has spawned a huge range of crimes for British authorities to deal with. A map charting the location of arrests made in response to the threat from Syria-linked extremism shows it is not an issue confined to big cities. As well as raids in London, Birmingham and Manchester, suspects have been detained in towns around the Home Counties, Wales and the Midlands. Behind bars for waging jihad: The growing number of convictions of extremists from around Britain for crimes linked to ISIS's war in Syria . Police estimated that, last year, up to five Britons a week travelled to Syria, making monitoring their movements on their return all the more difficult. Meanwhile, the number of Syria-related terror arrests increased six-fold from just 25 in 2013 to 165 in 2014. The Metropolitan Police said they are taking a 'cradle to the grave approach' to disrupting terrorism and last month made arrests in relation to an alleged scam in which say cold callers swindled pensioners out of money to fund ISIS. Senior national co-ordinator for counter terrorism policing Helen Ball said earlier this year: 'We have been running exceptionally high numbers of investigations, the likes of which we have not seen for many years. 'Several attack plots have been disrupted, of various sophistication, from individuals planning to carry out lone attacks to more complex conspiracies, the majority seemingly directed by or inspired by terrorism overseas.' The range of suspected offences which arrests were made for include funding terrorism, preparing or instigating acts of terrorism and attending a terrorist training camp. Last May, father of two Mashudur Choudhury, from Portsmouth, became the first person in the UK to be convicted of terrorist offences in connection with the Syria conflict. The 31-year-old went to the Middle Eastern country with the intention of joining a terrorist training camp last October.

But as the raptors make their screeches and calls, you might be surprised to know these sounds actually come from tortoises having sex. It turns out that many of the dinosaur sounds in the hit 1993 film were made by recording modern animals - including, bizarrely, tortoises mating. Scroll down for video . The sound designer for the 1993 firm has revealed some secrets of Jurassic Park - and it turns out the velociraptor's 'barking' noise (kitchen scene shown) was made by tortoises having sex. Other dinosaur sounds were 'voiced' by a variety of animals. These include horses, donkeys, cattle and a dog for the T-Rex . In an interview for SF Gate, sound designer for the movie Gary Rydstrom confirmed the odd choice of sound effect. In August last year, researchers trained four red-footed tortoises to use a touchscreen in return for strawberries and other treats. The animals were able to identify between red triangles and blue dots on the display, and even learnt which side of the screen to press. The animals also were able to transfer this knowledge to a real-life, offline experiment. Professor Anna Wilkinson from the University of Lincoln led the study, alongside researchers from the University of Vienna. \u2018Yes, it\u2019s a mating tortoise,\u2019 when asked about the sounds they make. Specifically, he says the \u2018bark\u2019 when one velociraptor first comes in the kitchen was created by recording a tortoise successfully mate with another at Marine World. \u2018It\u2019s riding on the back of the female tortoise. So it\u2019s climbing up her shell basically, and then it falls off. It\u2019s a little sexual,\u2019 he said. This confirms what was reported by Vulture back in 2013, that tortoise sounds were behind the noise of the raptors. But this wasn\u2019t the only bizarre animal noise used in the movie; it turns out horses, donkeys and even cattle were used for some of the other dinosaur calls. \u2018The brachiosaur\u2019s singing is one of my favourite sounds in the movie because it\u2019s beautiful, but like all good sound design it's made from a non-beautiful source, which is donkeys,\u2019 Mr Rydstrom told Vulture.

This latest video shows the man - who is thought to have been called Booth, but is known locally as 'Africa' and 'Cameroon' in reference to his African heritage - disappearing into his tent after apparently speaking to police. But officers swoop down on the man and drag him from his tent, which appears to collapse. A violent altercation ensues before five officers manage to pin him down - and then three officers open fire, killing the man. The CCTV, shot from the local homeless shelter, has shed yet more light on the violent midday confrontation which has left many shocked after an initial video appeared on social media on Sunday. Conversation: The homeless shelter's CCTV footage shows the man apparently talk to officers . Hiding?: The man then gets into his tent - but the officers appear to be trying to get him out . Increase: More officers arrive and begin to try to drag the man - who was known as 'Africa' - from the tent . Shot dead: A violent altercation ensued and the homeless man, circled in red, was gunned down by officers . The first footage released of the incident showed the man flailing at officers before being pinned to the floor. They try to use a Taser on him - but it seemingly has no effect. Shouts of 'Drop the gun! Drop the gun!' can be heard seconds before three officers open fire on the prone man. Outraged crowds soon gathered at the scene, accusing the police of unjustly killing him. Witnesses have characterised the police response as overly aggressive, and say they should have been able to restrain a mentally-ill homeless man with non-lethal means. Pressure for the LAPD to produce evidence to vindicate their officers has been mounting ever since the video was released. A police statement on the killing said that 'the suspect and officers struggled over one of the officer's handguns' before shots were fired - a statement the LAPD say is backed up by onlooker footage. But officials claim a frame from an onlooker's video shows the man grabbing at an officer's waistband, while a close-up of the weapon in question apparently shows damage caused by the scuffle. LAPD officials say the man was wanted in connection with a robbery, and started brawling with officers who approached him. Collapse: The video appears to show the tent collapse as the man emerges from his hiding place . Fight: The CCTV then captures the altercation which ended in the man's death at the hands of officers . Police chief Charlie Beck has called Sunday's killing an 'extreme tragedy' - and implored anybody with video evidence to submit it to police.

Sierra Leone's top sprinter disappeared at the end of the Games and failed to return to the Ebola-hit west African country. Already orphaned by the war in his homeland, he claims that his entire adopted family have been wiped out by the disease while he has been in the UK. Jimmy Thoronka, carrying the Commonwealth baton in Sierra Leone, has applied for asylum in Great Britian . He was arrested on Friday and quizzed by officers over whether he was carrying or using drugs, which he denied. He has since applied for asylum and has been released into Home Office accommodation. Thoronka, who said that he wanted to claim asylum in the UK so he could fulfill his dream of becoming a top athlete, now faces deportation. An online petition appealing to the authorities to let Mr Thoronka remain in the UK has so far attracted more than 57,000 signatures and well wishers have donated more than \u00a324,000 to help the young athlete. Among the high profile names to support his plight are supermodel Lily Cole, and comedian Russell Brand. The Guardian said it had interviewed Thoronka before he was detained for overstaying his visa. He claimed there were no flights to Sierra Leone immediately after the Games and his team-mates all scattered, some staying with relatives and friends until they could return home. But he said his own bag - containing his money and passport - were stolen. His visa expired last September and after a brief stint with friends, he has been sleeping on the streets in parks and on buses ever since. An online petition to let Mr Thoronka remain in the UK has so far attracted more than 57,000 signatures and well wishers have donated more than \u00a324,000 to help the young athlete . He today told the BBC's Sarah Montague that he wanted to claim asylum in the UK so he could fulfill his dream of becoming a top athlete. Asylum is only granted to those who are in fear of persecution in their home country. He said of Sierra Leone: 'Nobody persecute me or anything, my problem is I don't have a family there to stay with. The person who would help me has passed by Ebola. If I go back i will not make it and I will kill myself, because i cannot pursue my dream. I want to be the fastest sprinter in the world.' When Thoronka, the country's No 1 100m sprinter, left Sierra Leone for Glasgow, some Ebola cases had been confirmed in a few of the villages surrounding Freetown, but the epidemic had not yet taken hold of the capital.

Some of those documents may have been emails that went through the now-infamous private email server Clinton kept at her Chappaqua, New York home. If they still exist, they could shed light on Clinton's actions following the deadly Benghazi raid by militants acting with Ansar al-Shariah, an Islamist terror faction linked to al-Qaeda. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three security personnel perished in a hail of gunfire, grenades and mortars. Scroll down for videos .

Maxwell claimed he was scapegoated for objecting to the secret boiler-room operation, which he said was organized in order to keep damning documents from the prying eyes of an internal Accountability Review Board. On a weekend in a basement room, Maxwell recalled to Daily Signal journalist Sharyl Attkisson, employees were instructed to sift through boxes of documents and separate out anything that might make Clinton or her close associates look bad in the wake of the terrorist murders of four Americans including the ambassador to Libya. 'I was not invited to that after-hours endeavor, but I heard about it and decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon,' Maxwell said. Inside, says Maxwell, employees \u2013 including an employee who reported to him \u2013 were busily covering up information that suggested higher-ups were responsible for the lax security at the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.

'It was mother to mother,' she said. 'This letter was written from my heart.'

+{"article": "At first glance The Fliers and Explorers Globe appears to be an ordinary antique, hidden in a small over-looked office in downtown Brooklyn, at the end of a nondescript hallway. On closer inspection, however, you will discover it is actually one of the world's most fascinating relics, celebrating the giddy heights of exploration and adventure. What makes the artefact precious is not its beauty or age, but for the inclusion of the inked signatures and routes of nearly every single famous explorer and aviator in modern history, from Sir Edmund Hillary, to Neil Armstong and Amelia Earhart. The American Geographical Society's Fliers and Explorers Globe: The signature of Amelia Earhart, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, is prominently featured . The society acquired the 18-inch globe in 1929 as a gift from AGS president John H. Finley. He invited early heroes of exploration and aviation to draw their routes and sign their names . Hillary was immortalised on the spherical relic, along with more recently, Ann Bancroft, who was the first woman to successfully finish a number of arduous expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic . This 18-inch globe is hidden beneath a dark cloth in the headquarters of the American Geographical Society, the oldest established national geographical organisation in the US. The valuable tradition of the globe signing started in 1929, when the society president, and editor-in-chief of the New York Times, John H. Finley would personally go down to the Lower Manhattan docks to welcome returning adventurers. Explorers would ink their routes and names on the prized object, documenting their piece of history in the moment it happened. Among those commemorated is Amelia Earhart who set records becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 1928, and was the first individual to fly over both the Atlantic and Pacific. Tragically the aviation pioneer mysteriously disappeared in 1937 as she was trying to circumnavigate the globe from the equator, and was legally declared dead in 1939. On May 20, 1927, pilot Charles Lindbergh embarked on the world's first solo non-stop flight from New York to Paris. Enduring a 33.5-hour crossing, the 25-year-old was victorious and received international stardom, and his route was marked onto the globe to document the achievement. Sadly tragedy stuck in 1932 when his 20-month-old son was kidnapped and tragically murdered in what was called, 'the Crime of the Century.' In the society's own words, the globe is 'a priceless and unique symbol of humanity's unquenchable drive to explore the universe.' A crowning glory of the AGS institution, the globe would not have always seemed as out of place. The society was created in 1851 following Sir John Franklin's disappearance on his Arctic mission. A group of like-minded explorers banded together to create a rescue mission, and thus, the AGS was born.

Malaysia's transport minister on Thursday vowed to take stern action against an air traffic control supervisor if it is confirmed that he was asleep on the job when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared a year ago .

We will definitely take action if there is any misconduct,' he told reporters.

+{"article": "Rare: Riad Al Qassas told customs the \u00a32m statue from Libya was from Turkey and worth \u00a3100,000 . A judge took a day out of court yesterday to visit the British Museum. But it wasn\u2019t for an Easter holiday jolly around the exhibits. It was to help him rule in the case of an ancient statue which is said to have be smuggled out of war-torn Libya. The trial centres on a businessman who claimed in paper work that the treasure was a statue for home decoration. Experts, however say the Greek marble figure \u2013 which is thought to depict Persephone, goddess of the underworld \u2013 was looted from a world heritage site. While the man who had it delivered to a warehouse in West London claimed it was about 100 years old and worth around \u00a375,000, they say it is worth \u00a32million and dates from the third to first centuries BC. They claim it was intended for the lucrative private market in classical antiquities. Yesterday District Judge John Zani \u2013 accompanied by a gaggle of barristers and solicitors \u2013 went to inspect the statue at the British Museum, where it is being safeguarded in a basement till the conclusion of the case. Although the press were barred from the viewing, a video of it was later played in court which showed the judge circling the statue as marks were pointed out to him. He was told stains and other evidence meant it was \u2018definitely\u2019 excavated illegally from the ancient Greek colony of Cyrene \u2013 once known as the Athens of Africa. It is said to have been smuggled out of Libya via Dubai in 2011 before being discovered by UK customs officials two years later. Libya has been plagued by looting and cultural vandalism since the fall of Colonel Gaddaffi in 2011, with the resulting power vacuum effectively ending the state-sponsored preservation of the country\u2019s multiple Greek and Roman sites. The sculpture is said to have originally served as a grave marker and displays unusual iconography including snake-like bracelets and a doll-type figurine. Jordanian national Riad Al Qassas \u2013 who is not in court \u2013 is accused of falsifying paperwork after he told customs that the sculpture came from Turkey. Dr Peter Higgs, curator of Greek sculpture at the museum, told the judge the statue was in \u2018the top ten\u2019 of its class. Caught in a lie: Experts at the British Museum, pictured, say the statue is worth \u00a32million and dates from the third to first centuries BC . He said: \u2018I believe the statue was definitely made in Libya, in Cyrenaica\u2019, adding it was extremely rare. He added that his valuation of \u00a32million had been made on 2011 prices, but said there were no directly comparable examples from auction house records. Andrew Bird, for HMRC, told Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court that academics had decided \u2018on the balance of probabilities, this statue had been unlawfully excavated from a UNESCO world heritage site\u2019. He said documents suggested Al Qassas had only a marginal role in the export, placing the blame with Hassan Fazeli,", "summary": "Marble statue is said to have been looted from a site in Libya .

She said: 'It had a massive impact on my business. 'They were going to eat food rather than looking after clients. They were pretending to book clients in, having extended breaks and finishing early to go to the chippy.' Ms Claire estimates the three workers would book up to five fake appointments a week, costing her a considerable amount of money in lost bookings.

Researchers at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago have found that chimpanzees are willing to walk longer distances to get their favourite food - grapes - even when they are offered another option closer to hand. Chimpanzees at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago exchanged white PVC pipes (above) for either grapes or carrots . The findings suggest that our often irrational willingness to fulfill our cravings for fast food may have origins far back in our evolutionary past. Dr Lydia Hopper, a research scientist at the Lester Fisher Centre for the Study and Conservation of Apes at Lincoln Park Zoo, said she hoped to explore whether the convenience of the snack on offer may also impact how far chimpanzees are willing to travel. Chimpanzees have special 'words' that they use for different types of food and can even learn the calls used by strangers from foreign groups. Primatologists have found that a group of adult chimpanzees from a safari park in Holland adapted the grunts they produced for foods like apples to match those of other chimps they lived with in Edinburgh. Their findings are the first evidence that chimpanzees can learn calls referring to specific foods or objects. Many scientists have assumed that one of the defining features of human language is that objects and events can be named with different words or symbols depending on the culture. the researchers, whose findings are published in the journal of Current Biology, watched a group of adult chimpanzees from Beekse Bergen Safari Park in the Netherlands were moved to join a group of chimpanzees in Edinburgh Zoo. By analysing the acoustic structures of the calls they produced for apples, they found that the two groups of animals had different calls for the fruit before they were put together in 2010. While the Dutch chimps used high pitched grunts the Edinburgh chimps used far lower and softer sounds. After a year of integration, the grunt calls for apple were still different, but after three years the calls produced by the Dutch chimpanzees had changed to match those produced by those from Edinburgh. She said: 'The chimpanzees, to a limit, were willing to travel farther to obtain the more-preferred grapes. 'Future studies should test whether chimpanzees would be willing to exert more effort for more-preferred rewards if the type of effort was different - for example, time to process the food or increased competition to negotiate.' Dr Hopper and her colleagues, whose research is published in the journal Peerj, gave a group of six captive-born chimpanzees at Lincoln Park Zoo rewards in exchange for small lengths of PVC pipe that the apes had to collect from a single location. The chimps could exchange these 'tokens' at one of two locations - a close by", "summary": "Biologists at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago offered chimps carrots or grapes . The apes exchanged 'tokens' made of PVC tubes for the food they wanted . The chimps preferred grapes to carrots and would walk further to get them .

As The Mail on Sunday reported last week, court documents in France show that an expert at a 2001 criminal trial concluded from a blood sample taken from a Dutch rider, Servais Knaven, that he had taken artificial EPO.

Team Sky say their own unnamed experts, paid by them to examine documents unearthed by the MoS, have exonerated Knaven of any wrongdoing, for reasons unspecified. Knaven was never on trial and therefore did not have an opportunity to challenge the medical evidence; rather his tests and testimony were used to convict EPO traffickers. Knaven never disputed the reading of 0.7 but denied ever taking EPO. Now Robin Parisotto, who invented the first ever blood tests to detect EPO, has told the MoS: \u2018The only known causes of such a low EPO level in blood [0.7] is either due to significant renal damage where the kidneys cannot sustain normal production of natural/endogenous EPO and/or the current and previous administration of recombinant [banned] EPO.\u2019 Directeur sportif for Team Sky Knaven signed a police statement in 1998 saying he did not contest the EPO finding.

Yahoo is pulling the plug on its research and development centre in Haidan, Beijing - the firm's only physical presence in the country. The California-based company confirmed the plans on Wednesday and the move is expected to affect between 200 and 300 employees . Employees were informed of the closures yesterday. According to reports in Bloomberg, this is said to be around two per cent of its global workforce and follows editorial job cuts in Canada earlier this month. It has also recently closed offices in Amman and Jordan. Yahoo was once the leading search engine but has lost ground to Google and more recently Microsoft's Bing. Mozilla announced in December it was ending its partnership with Google as the default option for Firefox web searches. At the start of the year it began switching people using the browser in the US to Yahoo. The decision to switch to Yahoo came as a decade-long agreement with Google neared its end, and Mozilla 'evaluated its options', according to the firm. The partnership with Yahoo is set to last five years. A total of more than 100 billion online searches are done each year by people around the world using Firefox browsers and this is expected to increase Yahoo's market share. As of last month Yahoo accounted for 12.8 per cent of search volume in the US. Google took 64.5 per cent and Bing had 19.8 per cent. This is complicated slightly by the fact Yahoo is powered by Bing. The firm is also said to have struggled as people moved from laptops and desktops to smartphones and tablets - although Yahoo Mail is still one of the leading providers in many regions. Yahoo's profit for the quarter ending in December fell 52 per cent from a year earlier while revenue dipped 1 per cent.

Mr Al-Hashah said the father is not responsible for what his son has done and that there is nothing to prove his father agreed with his son, or helped him in any way. The lawyer added: 'Jasem Emwazi is under stress. Many people are calling him names. He can't leave his home and can't walk outside. He is scared of people because everyone believes all the rumours that have been written about him.'

Relatives of victims killed in the London terror attacks in 2005 said Liberty was 'isolated from the real world' after suggesting allowing some preventable attacks to happen was a price worth paying . Liberty, which campaigns on civil liberties and human rights issues, was at the forefront of the criticisms of the security and intelligence services when the claims from whistle-blower Edward Snowden broke in June 2013. Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee found that agents at GCHQ, the government listening post, monitor 'large numbers of items' using 'bulk interception' powers to uncover terror threats. But the committee dismissed the claims that GCHQ had \u2018blanket coverage\u2019 of web communications and was rooting indiscriminately through private messages.

Under the agreement heavy artillery should have been pulled back from the front line, but just last week the opposing forces were seen to be breaking the deal. International observers of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) look at an armoured vehicle of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) The inspection by the international observers took place in 100km easts of Donetsk . Yesterday eye-witnesses saw two rebel controlled tanks pushing forward and days earlier Ukraine troops were seen transporting a tank and a large calibre gun close to the battlefront. In a bid to monitor the fragile ceasefire the OSCE has asked to know how many weapons each side has and where they are being stored. Armed with cameras and clipboards the international observers have been driving around eastern Ukraine looking for rocket launchers and artillery. 'Some information has been provided from both sides, but we still need substantial information,' said Michael Bociurkiw, the OSCE mission spokesman. It is unclear to what extent the OSCE teams are able to decide on their own where to inspect. The monitors are also regularly complaining that they are not being allowed to travel through Ukraine freely. Sometimes they are made to wait at checkpoints, forcing delays, while in more extreme cases they are blocked entirely from reaching their destination. Mr Bociurkiw said even a short wait violates the verification process. 'Any delays are unacceptable in our books,' he said. This week a group of inspectors travelled from Donetsk to Novoamvrosiivske, a village near the Russian border, to visit a cement factory in the rebel controlled territory. Here they scrutinized dozens of tanks, rocket launchers and howitzers taking photographs and making notes. As they made there way back fresh tracks could be seen indictating that a convoy of heavy machinery had passed through while the inspectors were engaged elsewhere.

A grandmother has spoken of the agony of living with a medical condition that means she has one leg two stone heavier than another. Mary-Ann Wood's left leg began to swell after treatment for cervical cancer 17 years ago, but it is now so huge that her calf has a circumference of almost 3ft. The 53-year-old suffers from lymphoedema, a condition where the body's plumbing goes haywire. This means fluid doesn't drain properly, leaving her with a painfully swollen leg. Mrs Wood is now unable to bend her leg, is barely able to walk, and doctors have said she will be completely immobile in less than a decade. Despite this, she has been denied NHS funding for a liposuction operation to drain the fluid from her leg. She made the bid through her doctor, who agreed she would benefit from the treatment , which would cost the NHS \u00a311,000. But after her case was assessed by a panel at her local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), her application was denied as the CCG said the evidence for the procedure's effectiveness was 'poor'. She claims she has been given several reasons as to why she can't have the treatment, including it being a 'cosmetic procedure'. Mrs Wood, of Midhurst, West Sussex, has been forced to give up her job working with special needs children while she continues to battle the NHS for the treatment. Last month, she was rejected by the Independent Complaint Advocacy on the grounds that her case is not 'exceptional enough', she said. Mrs Wood said: 'My leg is huge and the surgeon told me the only option is to have the operation. 'I've had loads of different excuses for being rejected - they once even said it would be \"cosmetic\". 'I was also told that I wasn't \"exceptional enough\" to get the op. It's ridiculous. She added: 'I was told that my best bet of getting the operation is to move to an area where the NHS provides it - it's a postcode lottery. 'But I've got two small grandchildren down the road I don't want to up sticks.' Mrs Wood's condition developed because she had lymph nodes removed along with her cervix as part of a hysterectomy. Her lymphatic system is no longer strong enough to drain her leg of the fluid causing the build-up. The lymphatic system is a filter network of tiny vessels which runs alongside the circulation and drains waste products from the blood . Normally, fluid drains from the lymph channels into the lymph nodes. These nodes act like filter stations that process the waste - the fluid itself goes back through the body into the circulation. However, if the lymphatic system is faulty - such as after cancer treatment - the fluid it would normally drain away accumulates in the tissue and the area swells up.

However, the 11-year-old's teacher parents, Bruce and Linda Bays, have said that three field tests proved their son did not have a leaf from the plant. A Virginia middle school student received a 364-day suspension last September, after school officials said they found him with a marijuana leaf. Speaking to the Roanoke Times, the Bays said there are varying accounts of the September 22 incident involving their son, identified as R.M.B. The couple said they'd heard the boy, who at the time was enrolled in Bedford Middle School's gifted and talented program, had displayed the leaf in a school bathroom, in his homeroom in another account, and while riding the school bus in yet another version. An assistant principal later searched the boy's backpack and pulled out both a lighter and a leaf, before he asked a school resource officer - who is a deputy for the sheriff's office - to step in, according to the newspaper. Linda Bays told the Roanoke Times 'I asked, \"Can I see the leaf?\" and the deputy said, \"No, it\u2019s already in evidence.\" We have never seen the leaf. He\u2019s been out of school for six months.'

The head of the agency's Counter\u00adterrorism Center, who also directed drone campaigns which killed thousands, has been in the position for nine years and is described as a 'true hero'. His move is part of a major restructuring under CIA director John Brennan, and ends a tenure which has seen the center become a paramilitary unit, The Washington Post reported.

He was also the basis for the character 'The Wolf' in the film Zero Dark Thirty and is said to have spent hours on the treadmill reading terrorism reports. But agency spokesman Dean Boyd paid tribute to the senior official as news of his departure surfaced. He said: 'After nearly a decade of outstanding work in this post, including the takedown of countless terrorists and many other successes in protecting the country, he will be moving on in connection with the CIA modernization plan announced last month.' Roger is believed to be staying on at the CIA and will be reassigned. His successor is known as Chris and is said to be an agency veteran who has already been in a number of high profile positions .

Known by his agency identity Roger, he was the basis for the character 'The Wolf' in Zero Dark Thirty (not pictured). Kyle Chandler (left) and Jessica Chastain (right) during one of the scenes . The move was prompted after nine outside experts spent three months analyzing the agency's management structure. These included what deputy CIA director David Cohen called 'pain points' - or organizational areas where the CIA's bureaucracy does not work efficiently. US officials said that Brennan decided the agency had to increase the resources and emphasis it devoted to cyberspace because advanced communications technology is rapidly becoming pervasive. Historically, electronic eavesdroppers at the National Security Agency have been at the cutting edge of digital innovation within the US government.

The lawsuits seek to collect on Nancy Lanza's homeowner's insurance, the Connecticut Post reported. Bridgeport lawyer Josh Koskoff, representing eight of the families suing, said homeowner's insurance applies when a person is injured as a result of an unsecured firearm in a home being accessed by a third party. 'With this many claimants, the money ends up being a symbolic gesture, but it serves as an important reminder that people who keep firearms in the home must be scrupulous about securing their weapons,' Koskoff said in a statement, adding that the policy is estimated to be worth between $1 million and $1.5 million. Eight lawsuits were filed in Bridgeport, and one lawsuit was filed in Danbury by Angelo Ziotas, the Connecticut Post reported.

Just over two years after signing a \u00a390,000-per-week deal, the winger's future is again in the spotlight. As Arsene Wenger so jovially put it last week, contact has been made with 'the embassy' (Walcott's representatives) about a contract extension. Arsenal forward Theo Walcott comes on from the bench against Monaco, is now not a guaranteed starter . But just like two years ago, there are no guarantees Walcott will commit. Perhaps, even more so this time. Ever since recovering from a serious knee injury that kept him out for the majority of last year, Walcott has been on the peripheries. Walcott was flying before injuring his anterior cruciate ligament against Tottenham last January. He'd established himself as an integral member of Wenger's first-team plans. Walcott sprints away in celebration having scored against Leicester during the 2-1 victory last month . Theo Walcott wants a significant pay rise if he is to sign a new Arsenal contract . Since then, though, the landscape at Arsenal has changed. Alexis Sanchez has arrived, so to has Danny Welbeck. Walcott is no longer indispensable. In addition to Sanchez and Welbeck, there is Santi Cazorla and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to contend with. Walcott no longer walks into this team. So, with that in mind, does he warrant a pay-rise? That's the question Arsenal's moneymen will be asking themselves over the coming weeks. Because that's what he wants; a hefty hike on his current \u00a34.6million-per-year deal. Can you justify paying someone in excess of \u00a3100,000-per-week who isn't a first-choice option for the manager? The England international gestures at Tottenham fans after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament last year . The Arsenal hierarchy are likely to argue not. And all that points to one thing: another Walcott contract row. You can understand where Walcott's representatives are coming from. At the age of 26, this could be his last big contract. His advisors have a duty to secure the best possible deal for their client. There will certainly be takers for Walcott if he leaves this summer. Liverpool and Manchester City are both monitoring the situation closely. The fact he has pace and is English (helping homegrown quotas) means he will be a valuable commodity if he's made available for transfer. Walcott has faced increased competition for a starting place in the Arsenal attack this season . As for Arsenal, they have four options. The first is to meet his demands, the second is to try to reach a compromise. The third is to let him enter the final year of his contract, which opens the door to Walcott leaving for nothing next year. Fourth is to sell him this summer. It's a game of poker. We're waiting to see who'll blink first. Walcott will be hoping to earn a similar amount to Gunners star man Alexis Sanchez on \u00a3140,000-per-week .

The news emerged as the star player's estranged fourth wife Elizabeth Banks and glamorous caretaker Regina Rice pursue a bitter court battle to seize the estate. Rice has been accused of coercing the baseball great into signing a will that left everything to her, without his family's knowledge. Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs has agreed to settle the allegedly unpaid bill - totalling $35,000 - for Banks' burial service after a funeral home sued the family for all costs plus legal fees. Missing millions? Ernie Banks, one of the greats of baseball, reportedly only left $16,000 when he died at 83 . Bitter battle: His widow Elizabeth Banks (left) and his caregiver Regina Rice (right) are fighting for the estate . And Rice maintains that Banks had wanted to be cremated, with his ashes scattered over Wrigley Field. Lawyers for Banks' widow, Elizabeth, have called for a review of the player's accounts including vehicles and baseball memorabilia after Rice's lawyers estimated him to be worth $16,000. Last month, Cook County Court heard Banks was never paid more than $75,000 a year throughout his lengthy and high-flying career. However, Rice's attorney Linda Chatman said the estimate was just preliminary, and she noted that the true value of the estate was in the rights to his name and likeness.

Rice has been barred from selling anything that belonged to Banks as his widow and two sons contest the latest will. Heightening tensions, a law suit filed this week by Donnellan Family Funeral Services claims the Banks family did not pay $11,000 for the cost of the casket, $6,755 for flowers, more than $3,000 in car services and $2,700 in staff fees. 'I find it quite interesting that she did not tell anyone that she had an attorney write up a new will,' one of Banks' twin sons, Jerry Banks, said. A court heard Banks was never paid more than $75,000 a year for his lengthy and stellar career with the Cubs . Rice responded in a statement that Banks trusted her to carry out his wishes, some of which were during his lifetime and others after his life, and made her promise to adhere to them. Joey Banks said the family thought Rice was helping and watching over 'Mr Cub' while he was in Chicago. Family attorney Mark Bogen said that only after the funeral did the Banks family became aware he had signed a new will during his illness. A provision of the will, signed and dated on October 17, said: 'I am making no provisions under this will for wife or my children, not for a lack of love and affection for them and for reasons best known", "summary": "Chicago Cubs great never earned more than $75,000 a year, court heard .

+{"article": "Lawyers for a transgender inmate convicted of murder asked the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to overturn a ruling denying her request for sex-reassignment surgery. A federal judge ordered the Massachusetts Department of Correction to grant the surgery to Michelle Kosilek in 2012, finding that it was the 'only adequate treatment' for Kosilek's severe gender dysphoria, also known as gender-identity disorder. That ruling was overturned in December by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Supreme Court appeal? Convicted murderer Michelle Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, is fighting to overturn a ruling that denied her request for a sex-change surgery. Before and after pictures of Kosilek as a man on the left in 1990, and living as a woman on the right in 1993 . Lawyers with Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders told The Associated Press they asked the Supreme Court to grant a hearing or to reverse the ruling by the appeals court. They argue that the appeals court did not find 'clear error' in the judge's ruling granting the surgery and therefore had no legal basis to overturn it. Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, is serving a life sentence for killing spouse Cheryl McCaul in 1990. Now 65, Kosilek has fought to get the surgery for two decades. In 2002, Judge Mark Wolf found that the treatment Kosilek was receiving in prison was inadequate, but stopped short of ordering the surgery, finding that the Department of Correction had not violated her Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment. Victim: Kosilek was convicted in 1990 of murdering her wife Cheryl McCaul (pictured) After that, prison officials began to provide hormone treatments, electrolysis to remove facial hair, female clothing and personal items. In 2005, Kosilek sued the Department of Correction again, arguing that the surgery was a medical necessity. In 2012, Wolf became the first judge in the country to order sex-reassignment surgery as a remedy for an inmate's gender-identity disorder. Courts in other states have ordered hormone treatments, psychotherapy and other treatments, but not surgery. Wolf found that the Department of Correction had violated the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment by providing inadequate medical care to Kosilek. A three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Wolf's ruling, but the state appealed, citing security concerns about protecting Kosilek from sexual assaults if she completes her gender transition. She is currently housed in an all-male prison, but hopes to be transferred to the state's women's prison after the surgery. In December, a divided appeals court overturned the ruling by a 3-2 vote. Kosilek's lawyers argue that the appeals court overstepped its bounds and essentially re-tried the case. 'Their role is to defer to the trial judge on issues of fact,' said Jennifer Levi, director of the Transgender Rights Project of GLAD, the Boston-based legal group that brought the lawsuit that led to Massachusetts becoming the first state in the country to legalize gay marriage. 'The meaning of the Eighth Amendment is only as rich as its application, so those words that require prisons to provide adequate", "summary": "Michelle Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, is currently imprisoned for murdering her wife Cheryl McCaul in 1990 .

Professor Christian Graugaard said the changes would help students understand the differences between what they see in pornography and the reality of sex. His suggestion echoes similar calls made in Britain last year by a government-backed sexual health forum, which said youngsters must be taught that pornography does not reflect real life. Danish students could soon be watching pornography films in class in order to teach them the differences between what they see on screen and the reality of sex . Mr Graugaard told public broadcaster DR: 'Instead of having sex education be boring and technical, where you roll a condom onto a cucumber, I'd rather have us educate our children to be critical consumers who see porn with a certain distance and reflection,' according to The Local. He added that teenagers attempting to copy what they saw in pornography was a 'recipe for broken necks and disappointment'. Denmark is known for its liberal attitudes to pornography - it was the first country to legalise it, and a recent survey showed three quarters of Danish men, and a third of Danish women, regularly watch it, The Local reported. Early last year in Britain, a document drawn up by sexual health charity Brook, the PSHE Association and the Sex Education Forum issued new guidelines for sex education in schools. The guidelines, criticised by an education campaigner for 'taking children's childhoods away from them' - also called for students to be told about the dangers of 'sexting' - sending explicit text messages - and sharing sexual photos and images. Pupils must instead be taught the difference between real-life relationships and the distorted world of X-rated films. This could involve playing card games in class to decide whether various sexual scenarios belong on \u2018Planet Earth\u2019 or \u2018Planet Porn\u2019 and a greater emphasis on relationships, sexuality and staying safe, rather than just the 'mechanics' of reproduction.", "summary": "Danish sexology professor calls for students to be shown porn at school .

Sales hit nearly $700 million last year, with medical marijuana accounting for $386million and recreational pot bringing in $313million. But recreational sales of pot-infused edible products, such as candies and cookies, outstripped medical sales by about 2.85million units to 1.96million, according to the report. In total, 4.81million units of edible marijuana were sold - which would equal giving one edible to almost every resident in Colorado, according to 9News. In a national first, voters in Colorado and Washington state opted to legalize recreational marijuana use by adults in landmark twin ballots in 2012, and the first retail stores opened in Colorado on January 1, 2014. States such as Oregon and Alaska, which have now also voted to legalize recreational pot as well as others where lawmakers face proposals to do so, are watching the Colorado results closely. Recreational sales of pot-infused edible products, such as candies and cookies, outstripped medical sales by about 2.85million units to 1.96million, according to the report (above a info-graphic created illustrating the findings from the report) Findings also showed that 322 retail stores were licensed at the end of the year, up from about 200 six months earlier, while 833 licenses were issued to retail businesses in general, and 1,416 medical marijuana businesses were approved by the state. It said medical businesses were cultivating around 300,000 marijuana plants on average each month during 2014, while the number of retail plants rose steadily from fewer than 25,000 in January to nearly 217,000 during December. The report noted that more than twice as many Colorado jurisdictions had 'completely opted out' of allowing either retail or medicinal pot businesses to operate than had permitted them.

Britain wants to become a founding member of a proposed Chinese-led financial institution that analysts say could rival the World Bank. But in a rare slapdown, the US administration has criticised one of its closest allies for its 'constant accommodation' of China. Strained: The US administration has hit out at Britain for its 'constant accommodation' of China in a rare public slapdown. Barack Obama and David Cameron are pictured together in Washington in January . Downing Street yesterday acknowledged the rift, saying: 'There will be times when we take a different approach (to the US).' The British Treasury said on Thursday that it will join talks this month on the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank's structure and governance arrangements. China proposed the bank in 2013 to finance construction of roads and other infrastructure. It has pledged to put up most of its initial $50billion in capital. But the Financial Times has quoted a US administration source as saying Britain took its decision after showing 'virtually no consultation with the US' and as G7 was still discussing how to approach the new bank. The source said: 'We are wary about a trend toward constant accommodation of China, which is not the best way to engage a rising power.' The Financial Times reports that the comments are an apparent breach of the 'special relationship' between Britain and America. It reports that relations between David Cameron's government and Washington were already strained amid concerns over the level of Britain's defence spending. The Prime Minister's official spokesman said the deal was in Britain's 'national interest' and Sir Christopher Hum, a former British ambassador to China, said there were direct benefits potentially for British industry.' The Obama administration has expressed concern the new Asian bank could undercut the World Bank and International Monetary Fund . He said the new bank, which will provide funding for infrastructure projects across Asia, would enable British firms to invest in a string of massive schemes. But Dr Pippa Malmgren, a former adviser to George W Bush, said the US is concerned the bank could be used to further China\u2019s bid to become the world\u2019s leading superpower. There are also fears in Washington that David Cameron\u2019s drive to boost exports and growth is making Britain blind to the risks of dealing with China. In a statement yesterday, the White House said it was concerned about whether the new bank would meet \u2018environmental and social safeguards\u2019, adding pointedly: \u2018This is the UK\u2019s sovereign decision. We hope and expect that the UK will use its voice to push for adoption of high standards.\u2019 But a senior official went further, telling the Financial Times that the deal appeared to be part of a trend towards \u2018constant accommodation\u2019 of China by the UK.

A top grammar school has been fined \u00a310,000 after a 14-year-old boy was smashed in the head during a shot put event and left with life-changing injuries. The pupil, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was hit on the back of the skull with the metal ball at the prestigious Judd School, in Tonbridge, Kent . The boy, who was formerly a keen rugby player, has been told he will never play again. The victim had been part of a class of 24 Year nine pupils taking part in a multi-sports PE lesson on June 20 last year hugely over-subscribed grammar school. The lesson included discus, triple jump, long jump, javelin, hurdles and the shot put. But health and safety guidelines say the 1,000-pupil school should have had a maximum of four sports, with just one throwing event, going on at the same time. The pupil suffered a severely fractured skull and was rushed to Kings College Hospital in London. He was due to have an operation to alleviate the swelling in his brain but it was decided the surgery could have worsened his condition.

The victim had been part of the triple jump group and was returning to the centre of the field as the teacher whistled to signal the end of the lesson . Prosecuting, Kevin Golding said: 'It's unclear what the long term impact will be. 'He has recovered sufficiently to return to school but we don't yet know the long term impact on his memory, intellect, mood, personality and his future employment prospects.' The court heard the teacher in charge, David Joseph, has taught at Judd for 10 years, and has been a teacher for 28 years overall. He was in the centre of the sports field overlooking the javelin throwing pupils when the incident happened. The victim had been part of the triple jump group and was returning to the centre of the field as the teacher whistled to signal the end of the lesson. But the pupil who threw the shot says he didn't hear the whistle, the court heard.

On Monday, the budget airline had announced plans to run transatlantic services between key European cities and the US with one-way tickets costing from as little as \u00a310. But today, bosses have been forced to admit the carrier is not about to move into long-haul flights. Scroll down for video . Ryanair, Europe's largest budget airline, had announced just days ago that is was planning to develop a transatlantic service for budget passengers, with one-way tickets between the US and key European cities costing as little as $15 . In a brief statement, the Irish airline's board said it had not approved any such plans, nor would it. 'In the light of recent press coverage, the Board of Ryanair Holdings plc wishes to clarify that it has not considered or approved any transatlantic project and does not intend to do so.' The sudden U-turn came after Ryanair unveiled its plan to operate budget flights to the US within five years. The idea was part of an aggressive growth strategy, connecting airports such as London Stansted and Berlin with New York, Boston and Miami. In a statement carrier had said it was talking to manufacturers about buying planes to serve new routes between various European airports and 12 to 14 American cities. Michael O'Leary previously said the airline has long been looking at long-haul flight plans, but is held back by a lack of aircraft availability . 'European consumers want lower cost travel to the USA and the same for Americans coming to Europe. We see it as a logical development in the European market,' a spokesman said on Monday. 'The business plan is there but it's dependent on attaining viable long haul aircraft and we estimate that's 4 to 5 years away.' Ryanair pilots had to wear oxygen masks as they made an emergency landing in Barcelona on Thursday after a fire extinguisher went off in the cockpit. Passengers said the pilot and first officer were unable to breathe without the masks as halon - a liquefied, compressed gas - filled the confined space as the plane flew from London Stansted Airport to Valencia. TV presenter and professional sailor Hannah White said that passengers suspected there was a serious problem, but they did not know the reason for the emergency landing until they arrived at Barcelona-El Prat Airport. Fire trucks greeted the Boeing 737 when it touched down shortly after 10:15am local time as passengers began to grasp the nature of the emergency. Ryanair described it as a 'minor fault'. The airline first mooted the idea of offering transatlantic flights back in 2008 and board approval comes after the airline has invested 18 months in cleaning up its image and improving customer service. Last year, Michael O'Leary, the airline's chief executive, told the Irish Hotels Federation conference in Meath that Ryanair would offer the $15 flights to Boston and New York.

But the advice \u2013 given to officials at Britain's Chongqing consulate as the Prince's itinerary was drafted in January \u2013 was brushed aside, one of the ecologists said yesterday. The Prince's tour \u2013 on which he was accompanied by four press officers \u2013 ended in a PR disaster when he visited a rescue centre at Wild Elephant Valley, only a few yards from an arena where elephants play football, dance and do tricks for tourists. In the spotlight: Prince William surrounded by his support team in China during his royal tour . The degrading performances at Wild Elephant Valley that happen just yards from the rescue centre visited by Prince William . Last month The Mail on Sunday revealed the Prince would be visiting the park and informed the Palace of the cruel conditions, but Royal sources claimed Prince William wanted to visit regardless so he could 'shine a spotlight' on the issue. However when the Prince was at the park, and was asked by Sky TV if he knew elephants were performing nearby, he seemed wrong-footed, hurrying away in silence as journalist Mark Stone called after him: 'The Chinese are using elephants to play football, your Royal Highness.' Ecologist Alice Hughes, an associate professor based at Xishuangbanna Botanical Gardens, said: 'When the British consulate told us 'We might take Prince William to Wild Elephant Valley', we all said unanimously, 'Don't take him there. It's basically a circus.' We warned the British consulate off but I think some of them are very, very na\u00efve.' She added: 'I don't believe our concerns were filtered through to any higher levels. If Prince William had known what was going on there, I don't think there is any possibility he would have gone. I think he must have been assured they really were doing conservation work.' Both Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office declined to say if the concerns had been passed on to the Prince. But yesterday one of his aides insisted: 'Prince William absolutely knew what was happening.' Another aide said: 'Our view is, this wasn't embarrassing. It was an essential thing for the Duke to do and one of the key reasons he went is to encourage conservation efforts and that comes in complex packaging.' Both Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office declined to say if the concerns had been passed on to the Prince, pictured during his visit . A Kensington Palace spokesman added: 'It goes without saying the Duke does not condone the performances, but he recognises the incredible work Wild Elephant Valley has done to protect the elephant population.' But Louise Rogerson, from the Elephant Asia Rescue and Survival Foundation, said: 'Tourists will flock to Wild Elephant Valley now. Prince William is indirectly supporting cruelty to elephants forced to take part in these circus performances.'", "summary": "Ecologists warned British diplomats not to let Duke visit park months ago .

Ed Miliband will be 'held hostage' in Downing Street by the SNP, it was claimed today as Nicola Sturgeon said there was no way Labour could win without her. A dramatic collapse in support for Labour in Scotland is expected to rob Mr Miliband of an overall majority, forcing him to rely on the SNP to form a government. Ms Sturgeon teased the Labour leader today, claiming he is still 'clinging to the pretence' that he has a chance of winning a majority on May 7, insisting she will wield 'clout' in Westminster. Ms Sturgeon said her party was open to an arrangement with Labour after the election. The Scottish First Minister hinted that many of Labour's MPs would support certain SNP policies such as bringing an end to austerity and scrapping Trident. After weeks of pressure, Mr Miliband has ruled out a formal coalition with the SNP but he could be forced to do a deal to stop them voting down his government. Ms Sturgeon told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'He is still clinging to the pretence he has got some chance of winning an overall majority. 'We have got vast experience as a minority Government ... the principles are the same. You have to build alliances, you have to win votes on a case-by-case basis. 'It would be far better than what usually happens to Scotland at Westminster, which is we are ignored or sidelined. 'The bottom line here is, if Scotland wants to have that influence, that power, that clout in Westminster, the only way get it is to vote SNP. 'If there is real SNP strength in the House of Commons we can force progressive change.' She also repeated the threat from former First Minister Alex Salmond to lock the Tories out of government, even if David Cameron wins the most seats. Brushing aside claims it was arrogant, Ms Sturgeon replied: 'If the Tories can't command a majority, then they don't deserve to be in government.' Labour leader Ed Miliband used the launch of his election campaign at the Olympic Park in east London today to claim: 'There is one way to get the Tories out and that's to elect a Labour government' Senior Conservative William Hague condemned the remarks as proof that Mr Miliband would be propeped up by a party which wanted to break up the Union. He said: 'Now you have it straight from Nicola Sturgeon \u2013 it is the SNP's sworn intention to hold Ed Miliband hostage in Downing Street and dictate terms on how Britain is governed.

In the region, where clusters of hundreds of galaxies are colliding, a rich variety of objects are visible only to radio telescopes. Scientists created a \u2018true colour\u2019 image of the region to reveal what it would look like if humans could see radio waves, rather than just visible light. Researchers have released an amazing image of Abell 2566. In the annotated image (move the slider to see the markings), the point sources (examples in red) are galaxies like ours. Blue objects are radio galaxies with streams of plasma, and in green is the 'Large Relic', which could be a shockwave as the clusters collide. Researchers at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) made the image using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico. In the image, red colouration shows longer radio waves, moving down to blue, which is composed of shorter radio waves. The region is known as Abell 2256, and is about 800 million light-years from Earth and about four million light-years across. The image covers an area in the sky almost as large as the full moon. In the image, the multiple \u2018dots\u2019 that can be seen are \u2018normal, everyday galaxies\u2019 as big as the Milky Way, Dr Jean Eilek of the NRAO told MailOnline. A radio galaxy is an active galaxy that is very luminous at radio wavelengths. It is usually composed of two jets being expelled from a large elliptical galaxy. Radio galaxies can be detected at large distances, which makes then useful tools in studying the structure of the universe. \u2018Star formation in such galaxies is a strong source of radio waves, which come from supernova remnants and cosmic rays that are energised in the star formation regions.\u2019 There is also a handful of objects known as radio galaxies, which each have a massive central black hole that emits jets of plasma. \u2018In clusters like this the unusual shapes of the radio galaxies are due to the interaction of those jets with the cluster atmosphere,\u2019 Dr Eilek continued. \u2018We don't yet understand just why each of those sources have the shapes they have - we\u2019re still working on that. \u2018But these are definitely radio galaxies in the cluster; we think the merger happening in the cluster has something to do with the large number and unusual shapes of these radio galaxies.\u2019 Resarchers at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) made the image using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, shown here. The VLA is at an altitude of 6970ft (2125 metres) and consists of 27 independent antennae . Two of these, towards the right-hand side of the image, have long trails with them. This may be due to them speeding very fast through the cluster, with their plasma left behind in a tail.

In the US, users under 30 will pay $9.99 a month and older subscribers $19.99, according to a spokeswoman. Prices will be as low as $2.99 in emerging markets. Scroll down for video . Pay to play: Tinder launched a new paid version of their app on Monday called Tinder Plus. One of the features of the new app include the ability to take back a 'left swipe' - an action with eliminates a potential date. The new service will charge users over 30 $20 a month to use Tinder Plus . The new tiered plan raised some hackles, and the PhoneArena blog wrote that it 'quite frustratingly.. borders on age discrimination.' Tech blog Endgadget decried the pricing scale as 'sleazy.' But a Tinder spokeswoman defended the move. Hooking up all over the world: Another feature of Tinder Plus includes the ability to search for users in other locations, ahead of a vacation for example . 'We've priced Tinder Plus based on a combination of factors, including what we've learned through our testing, and we've found that these price points were adopted very well by certain age demographics,' spokeswoman Rosette Pambakian said in a statement. 'Lots of products offer differentiated price tiers by age, like Spotify does for students, for example. 'Tinder is no different; during our testing we've learned, not surprisingly, that younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus, but are more budget constrained, and need a lower price to pull the trigger.' The app has spread widely among smartphone users, getting particular attention at the Sochi Olympics when athletes bragged about 'tindering' for fast hookups. 'With Tinder Plus we're giving our users access to their two most-requested features through Passport and Rewind, as well as unlimited liking capabilities.' The 'rewind' feature allows users to 'take back' a swipe, so if someone accidentally swipes left on a picture - rejecting a potential date - he or she can find that person again later. 'Rewind lets you take back your last swipe,' Tinder says. 'If you accidentally swiped left on someone you want to get to know, they're no longer lost in the Tindersphere forever. Now you can get him/her back with the touch of a button.' The 'Passport' feature allows users to change their location to match with people around the world, such as ahead of a planned vacation or business trip. 'Passport lets you change your location to connect with people anywhere around the world. It's like teleporting to a different location,' the blog said. Tinder, owned by the conglomerate IAC, has not confirmed reports saying the free version of its app will include advertising. With apps like Tinder, prospective daters can see pictures of people who are nearby. If they see someone they like, they can swipe right to indicate interest.

'It is cruel and insensitive for the Union to laud this man's connection to the school, its graduates, and their families.'

It\u2019s difficult enough for the referees \u2014 they are criticised a lot, and I include myself. I do remind my players but I don\u2019t think we have a problem with that.

I can show you situations where they hide the vision of the pass. Because they are so directly involved they are surrounded sometimes when they should keep a bit of distance.\u2019 Wenger admits there are times when managers like to see their players showing desire and unity but agrees with Dyke and UEFA president Michel Platini, who is also investigating ways to banish the problem in European games. Eight Chelsea players surround the referee as they try to get Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off for PSG . \u2018We want everybody to be respected and the referees are part of everybody,\u2019 said the Arsenal boss. \u2018What we have to do is respect the decisions. The referees know the worst offenders but I like to think it doesn\u2019t work. Referees are prepared for that nowadays. They are warned and they can deal with it. \u2018I agree completely that you want players to be ready to fight for each other. How far does that go? You have to draw a line somewhere.

An UberX driver was arrested after he allegedly took a passenger to the airport and then returned to her Denver home to try and break in. Gerald Montgomery, 51, went to the woman's home after driving her to Denver International Airport and attempted to get in through the back door, according to a police spokesman. Police said Montgomery fled when the unidentified woman's roommate, who was inside the house, noticed him. The woman sent her roommate the Uber receipt, which featured Montgomery's photograph. Her roommate then posted the receipt on her Facebook page with a message to warn her friends. 'I had just gotten home when he was about to get in the back door,' she wrote, according to Fox 31. 'He probably thought no one else was here. Friends that take Uber, please be careful.' Police were able to identify Montgomery after seeing the receipt and took him into custody at Jefferson County jail on suspicion of attempted second-degree burglary. Uber officials said they have contacted the passenger and refunded her ride, which cost $39.88.

Rumours: The Ukraine crisis may have contributed to a collapse in Putin's health, it has been claimed . Putin loves to be seen as an ever-present action man, but the Russian president has been absent from public view for a week. The 62 year old's unusual absence has dented his tough-guy image. His aides scrambled to explain he was healthy and his macho handshake remained so strong 'it breaks your hand'. Putin was last seen in public when he met with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on 5 March. Official pictures have emerged of meetings since then, but rumours say these in fact took place earlier before his sudden and unexplained disappearance. Nemtsov's lawyer claimed Putin may be scared over the high profile murder yards from the Kremlin, suggesting the Russian leader maybe in hiding fearing an assassination bid. 'Perhaps Putin, even completely sincerely, was bewildered and even afraid,' said Vadim Prokhorov. 'Because if you can do that next to the Kremlin, then is it not possible to do it along the route of the presidential motorcade?'

+{"article": "You do realise you've walked into the best windsurfing centre in the world?' announces our instructor, Sam, at the beginning of our first lesson at Club Vassiliki. While these surfer dudes tend to lean towards hyper-enthusiasm (everything is 'totally awesome' or 'epic'), I think he may be right on this one. We can sense it the second we arrive at this windsurfing hotspot on the southern end of Lefkada island in Greece. Our welcoming committee of caramel-coloured instructors eye up the new arrivals through their Ray-Bans. Staying on her feet (for now): Francesca gets to grips with the art of wind-surfing in sunny Lefkada . When my friend and I wander down to the beach, we see an exhilarating display of one hundred windsurfers skimming across the water like dragonflies. We sit drooling on the sand and make a pact to be professional standard by the end of the week. How hard can it be? Everyone at Club Vass - a hotel and windsurf school - has the same obsession. And it's contagious. While the converted flock here annually for their fix, it's also the perfect training ground for beginners. Thanks to its position in a thumb-shaped inlet, enclosed on three sides by mountains, this watery playground has its own weather system, which runs like clockwork during the summer. A light onshore breeze sees the novices through until lunchtime. By early afternoon, the heat pressure behind the western mountain has built up so the wind whooshes down into the bay. Off come the rookies, on go the pros. There are numerous watersports centres along Vassiliki beach, but Club Vass, which has been here since 1987, is the place to be. It has more Royal Yachting Association advanced instructors than any other centre in the world. They are wonderfully sympathetic to our incompetence, despite some of them being ranked among the UK's top professional windsurfers (the hotel walls are lined with shots of them in action, including one of a chiselled freestyler above my bed which prompts a nightly sigh). On day one, Sam shows us how to climb on to the board, haul the sail up and do a static turn (wafting the sail across the back of the board to turn 180 degrees). I feel like a new-born foal trying out my legs for the first time. We all plop in the sea constantly, but it is bathwater warm with a sandy bottom. Sometimes I fall in on purpose. Mornings begin with Greek yogurt and honey before our lesson at 10.30am. We return at lunchtime to refuel, then it's back to the water to practise. More than 250 boards and sails are lined up for the taking, and when you traipse floppily off the water after your session, one of the beach staff magically appears to put it all back for you. It's not all about the windsurfing. There are mountain bikes, yoga classes, fitness sessions, paddle boarding and a bustling Kids' Club.

+{"article": "Streetwise urban ants from New York have developed a taste for the kind of diet frequently chosen by their human neighbours. Tests on insects collected from pavements and traffic islands in Manhattan show that their bodies contain the molecular fingerprint of junk food. The same was not true of more genteel ants that frequent leafy park areas. The scientists tested more than 100 ants representing 21 species from dozens of sites in the Big Apple. Lead researcher Dr Clint Penick, from North Carolina State University, said: 'Human foods clearly make up a significant portion of the diet in urban species. These are ants eating our garbage, and this may explain why pavement ants are able to achieve such large populations in cities.' The scientists tested more than 100 ants representing 21 species from dozens of sites in the Big Apple. Their diet was assessed by analysing the kind of carbon in their bodies. All animals, including humans, take in carbon from food, but the atomic 'strain' of the element found in the ants was specifically associated with corn and sugar cane. Corn and refined sugar are both abundant in human processed foods where they are used as sweeteners and flavour enhancers. Evidence of the signature carbon-13 isotope indicated that the ants had adopted a junk food diet. The species with the highest levels of carbon-13 was the most common ant on the street, the 'pavement ant' Tetramorium caespitum. Like members of inner city gangs, Tetramorium soldiers engage in violent turf wars as rival colonies fight for territory. They also do a lot of breaking and entering of people's homes, and are a recognised house pest. Tests on insects collected from pavements and traffic islands in Manhattan show that their bodies contain the molecular fingerprint of junk food. The scientists, whose findings are reported in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, discovered one street-living ant that turned its antennae up at human food. Lasius emarginatus, only identified in New York City in the past five years, was also found in high numbers on Manhattan's pavements and traffic islands. But the isotope analysis showed no evidence of a human-like diet. Instead, the ant appeared to divide its time between subterranean nests and foraging in the branches of city trees. 'This highlights the complex nature of urban ecosystems and how much we still have to learn about how these species relate to each other and to the environment,' said Dr Penick. 'We wanted to learn more about why some ant species are able to live alongside us, on sidewalks or in buildings, while other species stay on the outskirts of human development,\" says Dr Penick, . \"This could also help us determine which species are doing the most to clean up our trash.\" Read more at: .", "summary": "Insects were collected from pavements and traffic islands in Manhattan .

The proposal for an \u2018annexe\u2019 to an existing grammar school in Sevenoaks, Kent, is currently being considered by the Education Secretary Nicky Morgan. She is awaiting legal advice and was expected to rule on the matter before the election. But last night a Downing Street source said: \u2018I do not think there\u2019s going to be a decision on it this side of the election.\u2019 Last month, the Prime Minister said he strongly supported the right of 'good' schools \u2013 including grammars \u2013 to grow . And if Labour is elected in May then the scheme would almost certainly fail to get the go-ahead. The Tories would probably need an overall majority rather than a Coalition to give the plan a chance of being rubber-stamped. The delay will cause dismay among Tory backbenchers and last night threatened to overshadow an announcement the Prime Minister is due to make today about the Government\u2019s flagship free schools programme. Mr Cameron will announce that the Tories will continue opening free schools \u2013 which are independent of local authority control. They hope to set up 500 new free schools over the next Parliament and 270,000 new school places if re-elected. Mr Cameron will go on to say that 49 free schools will open in September, adding: \u2018If you vote Conservative, you will see the continuation of the free schools programme at the rate you\u2019ve seen in the last three years.\u2019 The proposal for a grammar school annexe comes from Weald of Kent Grammar School in Tonbridge which wants to open a campus nine miles away in Sevenoaks. In 2013 the plans were rejected by the Department for Education on legal grounds. New grammar schools are banned, but there is backing in the Cabinet for expanding existing schools. And last month Mr Cameron spoke of his enthusiasm for allowing good grammar schools \u2018to expand\u2019, in what was seen as an indication that he backed the new plan.

+{"article": "Parents at Grey Coat Hospital School in Westminster have claimed they were asked for a payment of \u00a396 when joining year seven . The top state secondary school chosen by David Cameron for his daughter could face an official probe after claims it asked parents to pay a \u00a3120 donation when offering places. A form sent to teenagers given a sought-after place at Grey Coat Hospital School's sixth form asks them to say whether they accept the offer and then return the slip, along with a cheque for the 'School Fund'. Parents at Grey Coat have also claimed they were asked for a payment of \u00a396 when joining year seven. The request may breach school admission rules, which say state schools cannot request any type of financial contribution as part of the admission process. The situation may now be examined by the Office of the Schools Adjudicator. As Grey Coat Hospital School is an academy, the Education Funding Agency could also investigate the issue. The school has refused to comment over the allegations. Earlier this week, the Prime Minister spoke of his relief after learning that his daughter Nancy had secured a place at popular Westminster school. Mr Cameron said it was 'a weight off everybody's mind', adding: 'It's nerve-wracking enough watching your eldest go from junior to secondary school,' he said. 'Nancy has just found out she's got a place at good state secondary school in London. She's happy - because her best friend is going there. Sam and I are happy - because we know she'll be looked after and get a great education there.' The daughter of former education secretary Michael Gove also attends the popular Grey Coat Hospital School. It is understood that Mr Gove was not asked - and did not pay - any donation when his daughter was offered a place at the school. David and Samantha Cameron learned their daughter Nancy had won a place at the sought after Grey Coat Hospital School in Westminster last week . The \u00a3120 donation to the 'School Fund' allows teachers to run extra-curricular activities for students, according to a leaked document seen by trade magazine School Week. It is 'an important way' of showing that a student is serious about attending the school, patents are told. The first document seen by Schools Week asks teenagers to complete a form say whether they intend to take up a place in the sixth-form, and includes the line 'I enclose a cheque for \u00a3120 for School Fund'. It asks for signatures from both pupils and parent. The Education Secretary Michael Gove also sends his daughter to Grey Coat . The second document says: 'If you confirm your offer of a place at Grey Coat for September 2015, then we ask you to pay School Fund, which for sixth form students is set at \u00a3120 per annum. 'School Fund enables to school to provide many of the extra-curricular activities that are run for Year 12 throughout the academic year, in particular the team-building activities/resources which are provided during induction week.'

Now Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg is giving relationship advice so couples can also triumph in the bedroom. In an ongoing series for the New York Times called Women at Work, the social media executive, 45, has suggested engaging in 'choreplay' leads to more sex. Facebook's Chief Operating Officer and mother-of-two Sheryl Sandberg (left and right) believes sharing chores, or 'choreplay', leads to more sex . This doesn't include romantic evenings out or luxury holidays - but simply sharing the duties around the house. The basis of the argument is from a 2009 study by Constance T. Gager and Scott T. Yabiku, which measured The Relationship Between Household Labor Time and Sexual Frequency. Using the results, Sandberg and co-writer Adam Grany suggest: 'Men and women who work hard [together] play hard.' Sandberg suggested that if if a man wanted to do something nice - instead of buying flowers they should do the laundry. The piece continues by saying: 'A man who heard this was asked by his wife one night to do a load of laundry. He picked up the basket and asked hopefully, 'Is this Lean In (reffering to her latest book) laundry?' Choreplay is real.' Citing research from 2000, the pair add 'that when men do their share of chores, their partners are happier and less depressed, conflicts are fewer, and divorce rates are lower.' They also suggest children who spend more time being cared for by their fathers are happier, healthier and less likely to have behavioral problems. For men, being in the company of their young ones make them more patient, emphatic and less likely to drink or do drugs. In 2012 mother-of-two Sandberg was made Facebook's first female board member.

Christopher Holland, 59, is now facing life in prison without parole and will be sentenced next month for raping, stabbing and strangling San Jose teen Cynthia Munoz over three decades earlier. The jury spent two days deliberating, before handing down the guilty verdict. Munoz was found dead in her bedroom insider her home in Campbell. She had just returned home from visiting her quadriplegic boyfriend in the hospital when she was attacked. Holland and a friend were regular visitors to the home. Guilty: Christopher Holland, 59, is now facing life in prison without parole and will be sentenced next month for raping, stabbing and strangling San Jose teen Cynthia Munoz over three decades ago . However, due to technology at the time, DNA could not link him to the crime, even though proper samples were collected and stored. Investigators were able to arrest Holland after retrieving DNA samples from his brother, David Leonard Holland, and another brother. Y chromosomes are almost always the same among men who have the same father. Rape and murder: Holland was convicted of killing Cynthia Munoz in August 1983 . In a shock twist, David Holland was also arrested, after his DNA linked him to the 2001 rape of an 81-year-old woman, according to reports. David Holland was convicted in that case and is now serving out a sentence in state prison, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. Christopher Holland was arrested in 2007. He was found hiding in the closet of a San Jose apartment. His trial started in January. Holland's lawyers tried to argue that he and Munoz had consensual sex, and that a robber must have killed her after he left. However the prosecution said Munoz was too devoted to her boyfriend to cheat on him, and brought in several women who were former sex partners of Holland to testify. The women - four total - all said Holland used a knife and choked them during unreported rapes. The behavior was similar to the injuries and abuse that Munoz had suffered, the court heard. 'Cynthia Munoz's family has waited 31 years to find justice for her cruel and senseless death,'Christopher Walsh, Santa Clara County deputy district attorney, told The Chronicle in a statement. 'Today a jury held Christopher Holland accountable for her murder and (has) hopefully given Cynthia's loved ones some measure of peace.' Holland has also been charged with the 1983 rape and murder of another young woman, 21-year-old San Jose resident Tara Marowski, who was found dead four months before Munoz. Holland is yet to stand trail on those charges. He refused to be present in court as the verdict was handed down.

It is also bidding for other NHS work including a controversial \u00a31.2billion contract for cancer and end-of-life care in Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent, described as the health service\u2019s biggest ever privatisation. The deal - for which a number of other private companies including Richard Branson\u2019s Virgin Care Ltd are also bidding - has been opposed by Labour\u2019s Andy Burnham who said all private contracts should be halted until after the General Election.

The image was posted on Facebook last week and has since been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people - many of whom were angry at the celibate monk breaking a key vow. But the woman in the photo has now come forward to say she was born a man, and therefore believes the monk is completely innocent. Furore: The image of a monk fondling a worshipper's breasts in Thailand was seen by hundreds of thousands of people online - and prompted a debate over whether transgender people count as women in Buddhism . She was interviewed by Thailand's Morning News, where she was quoted as saying she had undergone hormone therapy which enlarged her breasts. She had not undergone gender reassignment surgery or received breast implants. A person born in a woman's body would never have been able to get so close to a monk in Buddhist culture and would never dream of doing so, she told the news channel. According to her account the monk, from a temple in Cambodia, had led a blessing ceremony at her family home in Bangkok which involved writing messages on the bodies of the faithful. The men reportedly had the messages inscribed on their chests, while the women had the same symbols written on their foreheads. Because the worshipper considered it acceptable to present her gender as male, she was happy to join the rest of the men for the ritual. But that was not enough for many commenters online - who insisted the ritual was inappropriate no matter what the gender of the worshipper. Identified only as Thanradaporn, the worshipper said she felt guilty about the reaction the photo had, saying: 'I feel that I've damaged the monk\u2019s reputation'. Different culture: Thailand has a tradition of kathoeys, also known as ladyboys - the definition of which varies hugely. Kathoeys are often considered a 'third gender' and are due to receive legal protection (file photo) The monk was reportedly from a temple in Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey province, where he and others follow a strict doctrine in which they avoid all contact with women. Monks swear a vow of celibacy in order to learn more about themselves and come closer to enlightenment. Ideas about gender have historically been more fluid than other countries in Thailand, where there is a long tradition of kathoeys, also known as ladyboys. The broad term can describe effeminate men, those who dress as women, those who define themselves as women or those who have undergone a sex change. Kathoeys are also seen by many as a third gender, not simple enough to class simply as 'male' or 'female'. Despite being popular in cabaret shows kathoeys have very few legal rights, and Thai politicians proposed earlier this year to recognise people with alternative sexualities legally for the first time. If approved it is thought the draft constitution will ban discrimination on the basis of gender and sexuality - putting Thailand ahead of", "summary": "Unusual row broke out online after blessing ceremony in Bangkok .

New Zealand's Human Rights Review Tribunal also heard community nurse Natasha Thomson showed up six minutes after the baby was born at her patient's house on January 15, 2012. She did this despite receiving five phone calls in one hour from the mother who described herself to be in 'excruciating pain'. A New Zealand Human Rights Review Tribunal found a midwife did not give appropriate care to a teenage mother after she suffered a vaginal tear while giving birth . At one point, Ms Thomson dismissed the increasingly urgent calls from the woman giving birth, her husband and the womon's mother by saying 'teenage mothers sometimes panic when labour starts,' the tribunal wrote in its judgement. The patient - only known in tribunal documents as 'Ms B' - gave birth to her baby 'on her hands and knees in the bathroom'. Thomson did not bring her scissors to cut the umbilical cord and instead had to use kitchen scissors found by the teenager's partner, Mr B. After examining Ms B's perineum - the area between vagina and anus - Thomson told the mother there was a tear. It was a home birth and the midwife arrived late despite receiving five phone calls in one hour from the mother who described herself to be in 'excruciating pain' The teenage mother gave birth to her baby 'on her hands and knees in the bathroom' She said the tear was not a bad one, referring to it as only a 'tiny tear'. Thomson looked at her patient's perineum again and then advised Ms B to be 'ladylike', and to keep her legs together and change her pads on a regular basis. But tribunal documents say Ms B had to be later admitted to hospital. The midwife also had not told the new parents how to properly care for the wound, which was at risk of infection. Tribunal documents said Ms B only went to hospital weeks later when the midwife should have had her admitted at the time . In the weeks after the pregnancy, Ms B was in so much pain in her perineum that she could barely walk. When Ms B took a step she could feel the tear pull open, and found it very painful when urinating. she told the defendant that she had tried to make a funnel to prevent the urine from touching the tear, and said that she could not bear the pain. Ms B became so desperate she even tied her thighs together with her dressing gown cord so that she would not pull the wound open when she walked. The defendant laughed at Ms B's use of the dressing gown cord, which caused Ms B to feel disparaged.

Mourinho\u2019s brilliance as a manager cannot be overstated. Wherever he goes, he is successful and he has won trophies with any number of different players. Some managers need big individuals to get them over the line but Mourinho does it regardless of who he is working with.

Common procedure: The cost of undergoing an appendectomy hovers around $14,000 in most cities, but is a steal in Washington DC at $9,000 . The results will certainly have Houston residents driving to Los Angeles if they want to undergo a carpal tunnel procedure. A carpal tunnel release procedure at a surgical center in Houston costs upwards of $20,000 - while the price of the same procedure in the other cities hover between $5,000 and $8,000. Herniated disc decompression surgery costs $15,000 in Washington and more than three and a half times more in Houston and Los Angeles - more than $48,000. A simply tonsillectomy will run $3,500 in Washington - but costs $14,000 in San Francisco. The reason health care costs are not widely advertised stems from the fact that they vary based on who ends up paying - and insurers don't like revealing the negotiated final amount. However, there has been a recent push towards price transparency. Some states have started making databses of health care costs based on insurance claims and other insurance data. You can also research the costs of health care further on websites like HealthcareBlueBook.com.

The number of days missed by holidaying pupils decreased by almost a third in the past year after a ban on taking children out of lessons for trips. Parents have been fined up to \u00a31,000 and even taken to court since the new policy came into force in September 2013. Drop: Figures reveal just 3million school days were missed by pupils last year - down 1.4million on 2012-13 . Yesterday, Department for Education figures showed 3million days were missed for holidays in 2013-14, down from 4.4million in 2012-13. The latest figure represents a decrease of more than two fifths from 2009-10, when 5.3million days were missed. Government statisticians said the drop has been fuelled by a fall in the number of authorised breaks - trips approved by the school. There has been a slight rise in the number of unauthorised holidays - indicating that some parents may be deciding to take their child out of school without permission, and instead run the risk of a fine. The latest figures, for the last academic year, are the first to show the impact of strict new rules on pupil absence introduced by former education secretary Michael Gove. Under the changes, heads are now only able to grant leave in \u2018exceptional circumstances\u2019 and parents can be fined \u00a360 per pupil for taking term time holidays without permission. The cost rises to \u00a3120 if it is not paid within 21 days. Fines: The drop is being credited on the new fines system, which sees parents landed with a \u00a360 penalty if they take their children out of school for an 'unauthorised' absence . Those who fail to pay can face prosecution, with a maximum fine, if convicted, of \u00a32,500 or a jail sentence of up to three months. The National Association of Head Teachers released guidance stating exceptions could be made for family funerals and religious events, but family holidays were unlikely to meet the criterion. Campaigners have said the rules impact the hardest on poorer families who cannot afford high travel costs during school breaks, and families with parents that work shifts on or rosters. Travel companies increase their prices significantly in peak seasons when there is more demand. School Reform Minister Nick Gibb said: \u2018Every single lost day counts - which is why as part of our plan for education we have put teachers back in charge so they can clamp down on classroom absence. \u2018Fewer school days are being lost than ever before thanks to our reforms - giving children the best possible chance to succeed.\u2019", "summary": "Three million days missed last year, say Department for Education figures .

A court ruling over a Christian bakery which refused to make a pro-gay marriage cake could lead to Muslim printers being forced to reproduce cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, it has been claimed. Colin and Karen McArthur, owners of Ashers Baking Company, in Northern Ireland, are facing a discrimination claim after they refused to bake a cake featuring Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie under the slogan 'support gay marriage.' But now a leading lawyer has warned that if the case is successful it could set a dangerous legal precedent and undermine freedom of conscience. Aidan O'Neill QC said the case could mean atheist web designers being forced to build a website saying God created the world in six days, or lesbian t-shirt makers being compelled to print shirts saying gay marriage is an 'abomination'. Mr O'Neill posed the hypothetical scenarios in a legal opinion penned ahead of a hearing at Belfast County Court later this month. The case began in May last year after LGBT activist Gareth Lee placed an order for a novelty cake featuring Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie. The design called for the puppets, who are often likened to a gay married couple, arm in arm under the slogan 'support gay marriage'. While the bakery initially took the order and a deposit, Mr Lee was later told they would be unable to comply on religious grounds, and he was refunded his money. Aidan O'Neill QC, a prominent human rights lawyer, has said the case could set a dangerous precedent that could lead to Muslim printers being forced to reproduce Mohammed cartoons (pictured, the cake design) Despite being able to find another baker who completed his request on time and at no extra cost, Mr Lee argues that he has been discriminated against. He is now seeking \u00a3500 in damages in a case which has the backing of the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland. Mr O'Neill has published his legal opinion ahead of the hearing, saying that Mr and Mrs McArthur are 'committed Christians', and that their beliefs should also be protected by discrimination laws. He argues that, by being forced to make the cake the couple would be forced to promote a view they do not hold, which goes against their right to freedom of expression. Mr O'Neill argues that Mr and Mrs McArthur are 'committed Christians' and that their right to freedom of expression is also protected under human rights laws (pictured, the couple's bakery) He added: 'This freedom not to be forced or required to express support for a particular opinion or political position was, indeed, the very one which Sir Thomas More strove to uphold in declining to sign the Act of Supremacy declaring Henry VIII to be the Supreme Head of the Church of England.'

A series of pictures snapped at a Elimbah home - north of Brisbane - owned by a man only known as Bill shows the Australian icons feasting on mince, the ABC reported. Griffith University's Darryl Jones has been studying bird for about 20 years, taking a particular interest in bird feeding, and says he has never seen a phenomena like this before. This photo of lorikeets eating mince meat was snapped in Elimbah - north of Brisbane in Queensland . 'I've not ever heard of lorikeets, who are seed eating birds, eat meats,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 'What on earth are lorikeets eating meats for? 'It's not unusual for animals to eat bad food, humans do that every single day - we eat fat and sugars. 'I can't imagine it could be good for them. I don't recommend people feeding them meat.' Professor Jones shed some light on why he thought lorikeets had taken a carnivorous turn. He said they must have acquired a taste for proteins when people put out food for other birds. Griffith University Professor Darryl Jones has expressed shock at seeing these seed-eating birds chow down on meat . 'Although you really shouldn't feed birds, there are a huge number of people who do anyway,' Prof Jones told Daily Mail Australia. 'Magpies, butcher birds and kookaburras are meat eating birds and people put out chopped up sausage and ham for them.' Since expressing his views on the photos, Prof Jones said he had been inundated by emails from people claiming it was more common than he had thought. Lorikeets are normally birds that favour a diet of seeds. Prof Jones does not recommend feeding them meat . 'I've had 188 emails coming in, saying it happens... so it's not as rare as what I was thinking,' he said. Wildlife carer Fran Sanders - who has been taking in animals for 25 years in Brisbane - told the ABC she had also never seen this kind of behaviour from lorikeets.

At Valencia, when trusted assistant to Rafa Benitez, he was the man who encouraged Benitez to move to Liverpool when the opportunity arose. \u2018I was a Liverpool fan,\u2019 says Ayestaran. \u2018As a boy I had seen their team in 1975, with Toshack and Keegan, beat Real Sociedad 9-1 and it stuck with me.

Albert Einstein was the first person to describe this apparent dual state of light in 1905 in an attempt to explain some of the apparently contradictory behaviour it displays. Yet when scientists attempt to observe these states, it has only ever been able to see light behave as photon particle or as an electromagnetic wave. Scroll down for video . The above image is what scientists say is the first ever snapshot of light behaving as a particle and a wave. The bottom 'slice' of the image shows the particles, while the top image shows light as a wave . But now researchers based at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), have captured the first ever snapshot of light behaving as both a wave and particle. The work shows that Einstein was right when he proposed that electromagnetic radiation could behave as both a wave and a particle at the same time. Scientists have developed a camera system that lets users see round corners using laser light. The system takes advantage of the way light is reflected and refracted to reconstruct the shape of objects outside the field of view. Researchers at the University of Bonn and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, used a laser to scatter light on a surface. is shone on a surface . In a demonstration, a laser was shone on a white wall, while a camera watches the scene. All it can see initially through the lens is a \u2018spot\u2019 of light. A computer records the image and the data is processed so the outlines of an object behind the screen gradually appear. The technique for capturing the image could be used to help open up new areas of superfast computers that exploit the quantum states of materials. He said: 'This experiment demonstrates that, for the first time ever, we can film quantum mechanics - and its paradoxical nature - directly. 'Being able to image and control quantum phenomena at the nanometer scale like this opens up a new route towards quantum computing.' The wave-like behaviour of light can be seen clearly when sunlight is refracted through a prism and splits into the different colours according to the wavelengths of the light. However, it can also be seen behaving like a particle - like photons hurled out as radiation by materials like uranium or when gas high in the atmosphere is battered by the solar wind to produce the aurora over the poles. In a paper published in the journal Nature Communications, the research team conducted an experiment and then used electrons to image the light. By firing a pulse of laser light at a tiny metal wire suspended on graphene, this added energy to the particle wire and caused them to vibrate.

He added authorities are reinforcing security at the 481 remaining churches across the city. Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a Pakistani Taliban splinter group, claimed responsibility for the blasts and said it was the work of two suicide bombers. The Pakistani Taliban vowed to continue their campaign for the enforcement of Sharia law. Area hospitals were flooded with casualties and scenes of mourning. Shaheen Bibi's 10-year-old son Abhishak was among those killed. Two police officers who were protecting the church were also killed in the explosions. 'My son had gone to the church to pray for a good result in his examinations,' Ms Bibi said as she cried. 'He wanted me to sew him some new clothes if he passed his examinations.' Christians took to the streets, setting fire to cars in a show of defiance in the country's second largest city . Pakistani Christians burn a cart in protest against attacks which targeted the churches at their peak period . One witness told Pakistan's Geo television that the main gate to one of the churches targeted was closed so people were using a smaller gate. 'One bomber exploded himself near that gate, that created chaos and during the course there was another blast,' he said. In the tense aftermath, the mood quickly turned violent. Local television footage showed an angry crowd beating a person they thought was connected to the attack, while others attacked buses in the city. The blasts, in a majority Christian suburb of the eastern city, went off in quick succession at a busy time when worshippers were attending Sunday morning prayers. Pastor David, a local cleric at the site, said: 'One blast took place at the entrance of one church where a congregation was going on.

The Chelsea Headhunters are one of the most notorious football hooligan firms of the 1970s and 1980s. The thugs have links with a wide range of racist organisations such as Combat 18 as well as northern Irish loyalist paramilitary organisations. In April 2014, about 300 Chelsea hooligans, including members of the Headhunters went on the rampage in Paris. In 1999, undercover journalist Donal McIntyre posed as a drug-dealing Ulster loyalist in a bid to infiltrate the hooligan gang.

The Los Angeles Police Department used an invalid court order and spent $22,000 to bring an imprisoned killer and former gang leader to speak to an exclusive dinner for business executives, according to a report released Friday. In all, 38 LAPD employees worked about 320 hours to prepare for the January event at a downtown building and protect Rene 'The Boxer' Enriquez, 52, while he was there, the inspector general of the city's police commission wrote. What's more, the department didn't have authority in the first place to remove Enriquez from custody because it used an order from a 2012 murder case that has been closed \u2014 and in any case only allowed his release to act as a witness \u2014 the departmental watchdog's report said. Enriquez, an ex-Mexican Mafia leader who has been in prison since 1993 and is serving two life sentences for murder, has gained allies in law enforcement. California Governor Jerry Brown has acknowledged Enriquez's past cooperation with authorities but denied him parole last month, saying his history of violence meant he still presented 'an unreasonable danger to society if released'. The decision came despite letters of support from the FBI and several federal prosecutors. Formed in the Californian prison system in the 1950s, the Mexican Mafia has a reputation for extreme violence. Enriquez worked his way up from enforcer to a leader in the organization - which is also known as La Eme - before his arrest and conviction. After two decades in the gang he defected in 2003 and began helping police by describing the hierarchy and methods used by the gang. After the January event, Los Angeles Police Commission President Steve Soboroff has called for an investigation into the incident and called the episode 'embarrassing'. 'There were some decisions made that in retrospect were the wrong decisions,' Soboroff said. The Los Angeles Police Department used an invalid court order and spent $22,000 to bring Enriquez, pictured in an undated file photo, to speak to an exclusive dinner for private executives, according to a report released Friday . He called the LAPD's involvement in the event as 'very, very misconceived and surprising' and a 'giant waste of public resources'. In recent years, Enriquez had talked to various groups of officers and provided valuable information on the transnational criminal enterprise to which he once belonged, Los Angeles Police Deputy Chief Michael Downing said in the days after the event. On Friday, the department issued a short statement, saying that Chief Charlie Beck had asked his professional standards bureau to launch its own investigation. Beck already had said the department's role in the event was a mistake. The watchdog agency revealed new details about the event that almost immediately attracted criticism from the mayor and police commission president.

Now the filmmaker is being hit with even more allegations of misconduct from one of his former leading ladies. Mariel Hemingway was just 16 years old when she starred as Allen's teenage girlfriend in the controversial romantic-comedy 'Manhattan'. May-December: In her new memoir, Mariel Hemingway says Woody Allen asked her to go to Paris with her after filming 'Manhattan' in 1979. She was just 16 years old when the film was shot - to Allen's 43. Above, a still from the film in which Hemingway plays Allen's schoolgirl romance . While the film was considered scandalous at the time, Hemingway has never spoken out against the director and last year even attended the Golden Globes to honor his lifetime achievement award. However, in her new memoir 'Out Came the Sun', she says Allen showed romantic interest in her which made her uncomfortable, according to FOX News. After wrapping filming on the 1979 movie, Hemingway says then 43-year-old Allen flew out to her parent's home in Idaho for a visit, during which he asked her to go to Paris with him. 'Our relationship was platonic, but I started to see that he had a kind of crush on me, though I dismissed it as the kind of thing that seemed to happen any time middle-aged men got around young women,' Hemingway writes. Independent: Hemingway, the granddaughter to literary legend Ernest Hemingway, says she refused Allen's offer when she realized they would not be staying in separate rooms . The teenage granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway told her parents that she 'didn't know what the arrangement was going to be' and 'wasn't sure' if she was going to have her own room. 'Woody hadn't said that. He hadn't even hinted it,' Hemingway remembers. 'But I wanted them to put their foot down. They didn't. They kept lightly encouraging me.' Hemingway recalls waking up in the middle of the night 'with the certain knowledge that I was an idiot'. She then went to Allen's guest room, shook him awake and asked: 'I'm not going to get my room am I?' Controversial: In 1980, Allen started dating Mia Farrow, another leading lady. The couple broke up in 1992 when Farrow found nude pictures of her then 20-year-old adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn in Allen's possession. Allen and Soon-Yi married in 1997 and remain together (pictured above last July) While he fumbled to put on his glasses, Hemingway made up her mind before he could even respond. 'I can't go to Paris with you,' she said. The next morning, Allen ordered a private jet and left the family's ranch. The following year, Allen started dating another one of his actresses - Mia Farrow. The couple stayed together until 1992, when Farrow found nude pictures of her then 20-year-old adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn in Allen's possession. Allen married Soon-Yi five years later and they remain together, with two daughters.

A major study involving almost 60,000 volunteers rating almost 1,000 variations of the female figure discovered tall and slender is more attractive than curvy and hourglass-shaped. It is a result which contradicts the views of millions attracted over the decades to the more voluptuous pin ups from Marilyn Monroe to Page Three Girls. Scroll down for video . New research has shown that Taylor Swift has the most desirable body shape for both men and women, whereas curvier bodies like Kim Kardashian's are not as popular . But according to Australian university researchers, modern men - and women too - see the ideal as taller in height and longer in leg rather than bigger in bum and bust. A complex series of visual tests were conducted by researchers from the University of New South Wales in Sydney for the specialist journal Evolution and Human Behaviour. They created computerised images of different female body shapes based on 24 basic factors from bust and bottom size to length of legs and waist circumference. A first 'generation' of 120 of these were rated by volunteers from all over the world responding to a social media campaign asking for help. The 60 body shapes with the lowest ratings were eliminated. Each of the remaining 60 were then taken and a slight variation of each was added to create another 120 shapes. Taylor Swift is known for showing off her long limbs in short dresses whilst performing on stage . Again, they were rated by volunteers and the bottom 60 eliminated and the process was repeated for eight 'generations' - a total of 960 different shapes and sizes of female body. What the researchers found was that in every generation, the 60 lowest rated body shapes were generally the fattest, shortest and roundest of the computerised figures. By the end of the eighth generation, the highest rated female form was tall with a small waist and long, slender legs, a smaller bottom and smaller bust said the researchers. Overall, nearly 60,000 volunteers took part in the ratings of whom 80 per cent were men and from all over the world. The report admitted that an ideal female body shape was still very much a matter of opinion - athletic men like athletic women, for instance, and different cultures had different tastes.

This included the obvious like bust size and shape and even 'volume', length of legs, waist size but also the slope of the shoulders, circumference of lower legs and girth of biceps.

It can also be transmitted through coming into contact with an open wound from the host. It most commonly affects the brain or the eye. Upon waking and being told about her condition, the patient immediately realised what had happened. 'She said that when she was a child, around five-years-old, she used to catch and eat live frogs with her grandmother, which must be how she contracted the parasitic infection,' the spokeswoman said. 'She said she could remember the feeling of the frog 'jumping' as it went down her throat. She added: 'The damage to her nervous system is quite extensive but we hope we can prevent it from being permanent as the brain has an amazing capacity to heal itself.'", "summary": "Yin Meng had been complaining of headaches for years before collapsing . 29-year-old had also suffered frequent seizures but it was not clear why .

Enough members of the president's party have signaled support for that bill and another that would impose new sanctions on Iran if it doesn't make an agreement with negotiators that the White House would be powerless to stop the measures from going into effect once passed. The Obama administration and its international partners now have until March 24 to set up the framework for a deal. Scroll down for video .

James Risch, a Republican, as they listen to Secretary of State John Kerry, center, back to camera, testify on Capitol Hill last week. Corker and Menendez are the chief sponsors of one of the bills that would restrict the executive branch's negotiating authority . After that, a dozen Democratic senators, including Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Robert Menendez of New Jersey, the highest-ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Affairs committee, have said they will join with the GOP majority to pass bills inserting themselves into the process. One would levy additional sanctions on Iran after June 30 if it doesn't agree to the final terms of a deal, though monthly waivers would be allowed should more time be requested. The other would give the Senate the power to reject within 60 days any pact the executive branch makes with Iran. Democrats who spoke with Politico voiced their displeasure with the 47 GOP senators who wrote a letter to Iran notifying the country's leaders that any contract it makes with the Obama administration would be nullified when a new president takes office in January 2017, whereas most members of the upper chamber would be in office for years to come. But that hasn't changed their position on the core issue, they've said. 'The letter\u2019s incredibly unfortunate and inappropriate,' Heitkamp said.'That doesn\u2019t diminish my support for the legislation that we introduced.' Michigan Sen. Gary Peters similarly said the missive was 'simply unacceptable' and 'brought hyperpartisanship to an issue that we need to maintain our bipartisanship in.' He added: 'That doesn\u2019t change my support for that bill. \u2026 I stay firm.' Blumenthal last week called Republicans' actions 'unconscionable' and bemoaned them for disrespecting the president. At the time, he said the bipartisan coalition of senators willing to buck the White House was 'in tatters.' Blumenthal told CNN that he was determined to 'stitch it back together,' though. A week later it appeared that the group was holding strong and that Senate Foreign Relations Bob Corker, one of just seven Republican senators who did not sign the 'open letter,' was correct in predicting last Thursday that the whole thing would blow over.

Here we are barely 24 hours after watching one of the greatest drivers ever to turn a wheel, Lewis Hamilton, winning the Australian Grand Prix in the most advanced car ever devised, yet some people have already applied the match to the paraffin. Nobody sane would suggest that Sunday's race was the most thrilling ever staged, but to call for rule changes to condense the field is ludicrously premature. Lewis Hamilton celebrates his Australian GP win in front of second-placed Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel . Hamilton stormed to victory at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix following a dominant performance . Nico Rosberg followed Hamilton home as Mercedes picked up where they left off with total domination . I remember when, in 2010, refuelling was done away with and the season started with a horrific bore in Bahrain. Calls for the immediate rewriting of the regulations followed then, too. That urge was resisted and a fine season unfolded: four drivers contested the final round. Even last year, with Mercedes dominant, there were some memorable races \u2013 the best of them, this time, in Bahrain, with heart-in-your-mouth, wheel-to-wheel scrapping throughout the field. We should also provide some perspective. For most of the sport\u2019s history, the field was far more spread out than now. Laps upon lap, minute upon minute, were not uncommon gaps in the oily-rag days of yore. Sir Stirling Moss, for example, beat his nearest challenger, Mike Hawthorn, by 5min 12.75sec to win the 1958 Portuguese Grand Prix. You cannot legislate to make every grand prix interesting any more than you can make every football match interesting. Or every boxing match, or every athletics race. Thank goodness, too, because the thrill of sport would be diminished if we arrived knowing what to expect. Yet, unlike in football, Formula One feels an insatiable need to reinvent itself to \u2018improve the show\u2019. The navel-gazing is totally boring and counterproductive.

Toto Wolff responded by telling Horner and the rest to get their \u2018f****** heads down and work hard\u2019. Yes, is Formula One not about striving for the best, winning the arms\u2019 race and getting your super-rich rewards? In passing, it is worth pointing out that the teams are far too powerful. The FIA, now presided over by Jean Todt, should surely be leading Formula One rather than following the consensus.

After being taken to Hull Royal Infirmary, Connor was put in an induced coma and doctors removed 90 per cent of the clot - in a potentially life-saving operation. He was transferred to Leeds General Infirmary on Sunday, where he underwent another operation yesterday to try to remove the rest. Now, he may face a third surgery.

Roger Baker was employed by Essex Police on a salary of \u00a3139,000, but bonuses and expenses took his total pay above \u00a3200,000 a year. The payments included \u00a385,000 to reward him for staying at the force - but the area's police commissioner now disputes these bonuses, and has launched a legal challenge to claw them back. Mr Baker was chief constable of Essex Police between 2005 and 2009, when he left the force with a \u00a360,000 bonus for three months' work. Row: Roger Baker, left, was paid \u00a385,000 by Essex Police in a 'golden handcuffs' deal which is now being challenged by police commissioner Nick Alston, right . He went on to work for Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, the police watchdog, where he was responsible for monitoring 'value for money' in police forces around the country. The 56-year-old former policeman is now a director at Colchester Hospital, paid \u00a311,000 a year for working four days out of every month. Mr Baker was deputy chief constable of North Yorkshire police before moving to Essex, where he forged a reputation as an advocate of 'bobbies on the beat'. He became known for controversial policies such as banning officers from wearing sunglasses when they talked to the public, and was criticised in a report because he insisted on sending an officer to the scene of every single reported crime. Roger Baker gained a reputation as an outspoken advocate of beat policing during his time as chief constable of Essex Police - but officials accused him of wasting taxpayers' money on needless intervention. The 56-year-old spent 32 years as a police officer, starting his career in Derbyshire before becoming assistant chief constable of Staffordshire Police and deputy chief constable of North Yorkshire Police. In 2005, he was appointed as the top officer in Essex, where he courted controversy with his traditionalist brand of policing. Mr Baker instructed officers to interview everyone who claimed to be a victim of a crime, rather than simply giving them a reference number, and also targeted low-level criminality such as vandalism. After the police watchdog said that attending every crime scene 'is not always necessary and can be time-consuming', Conservative MPs stood up for Mr Baker's unconventional methods. He retired from the force in July 2009, and soon took a new job with Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, where he monitored police forces for whether or not they were providing value for money. Mr Baker then led a review of police relationships with the media and other external bodies, before stepping down from HMIC last year. The area's now-defunct police authority is understood to have given Mr Baker three payments totalling \u00a385,000 to reward him for his loyalty to the force.

A teacher who got engaged to a former pupil and fathered a baby wit her when she left school has been jailed after he admitted having sex with her when she was just 15. Lee Smith, 38, of Bedworth, Warwickshire, also fabricated details on job applications to three schools in the early 2000s, before he was employed as an IT and drama teacher. While at one of the schools he began texting and emailing a 14-year-old girl in his class. Warick Crown Court heard their relationship progressed and Smith lured the girl into his office where he kissed and touched her. Smith left his wife and moved out of the marital home and the pair arranged to meet at his flat on her 15th birthday - where she lost her virginity to him. The court heard they went on to have a long-term relationship after the victim left the school, getting engaged and having a baby together but broke up when the girl was 19. In 2013 she underwent counselling and finally reported him to the police. When police investigated the girl's complaints they also discovered Smith had lied on his CV when applying for teaching jobs and had inflated his GCSE grades. Smith pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual activity while in a position of trust and three charges of obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception. The court heard the victim's family became concerned by his relationship with their daughter when she was at the school and asked Smith, who was in his mid-20s, to visit their home. He told them nothing inappropriate was happening but soon after his marriage broke down and he moved into a flat on his own. His relationship with the girl then progressed to kissing and touching and they met at his flat where they regularly had sex. Prosecutor Ian Speed said: 'The complainant describes becoming close to Mr Smith especially after she was 14. They then began spending a lot of time together in the defendant's office after school.

Delegate Joseph Morrissey, 57, told The Richmond Times-Dispatch on Sunday that Myrna Pride, now 18, had delivered 'a beautiful, healthy 7 lb. 8 oz. baby boy' in Georgia. 'I was with Myrna and she is absolutely thrilled\u2026 I am too!' he told the paper, which added that there was no information on the baby's father. Morrissey, who was re-elected from behind bars in January, was released from jail last week after completing a sentence for a misdemeanor relating to the sex scandal, which emerged last summer. Sex scandal: Joe Morrissey, pictured in January, has announced a teenager with whom he is accused of having sex has given birth to a healthy boy. He pleaded no contest to the charges last year . To avoid a trial, he had pleaded no contest in December 2014 to contributing to the delinquency of a minor in a sex scandal involving the then-17-year-old girl. The plea allowed him to avoid potentially decades behind bars. He had been accused of having sex with the teenager in his law offices - where she worked - and of possessing a naked photo of her, which he also sent to a friend. Their alleged relationship emerged after Pride's sisters and father found a nude photo and sexually explicit messages on her phone. They tracked Morrissey and Pride from a restaurant one night in August 2013, and then called police, who found the teenager inside his home at midnight. Morrissey, a bachelor who has fathered three children with three different women, has denied having sex with the teenager. She has also denied the relationship. Morrissey claimed that Pride came to his home that night in August 2013 not to have sex, but to get his legal help recovering child support from her father, Coleman Pride. Then earlier this year, he was indicted on four new felony charges for allegedly forging a document relating to payments Pride's father owed her. Morrissey allegedly vouched for the document in court and persuaded the girl's mother to swear to its authenticity as well. Behind bars: Morrissey is seen leaving jail in Barhamsville, Virginia on work release in January. He was released last week but now faces four felony charges over allegations he forged court documents . The document had been presented in court to support his version of events from the night the girl was found inside his home. It appeared to be a court order showing that Coleman Pride, Myrna's father, had agreed to pay $50 a month into a college fund for his daughter. But prosecutors said there is no court record of any child support order, and that the document 'appears to be a fabrication'.

Among the sailors on the Georgia-based USS Wyoming are three men accused of making the recordings that were passed on to other crew members, documents released showed. While previous reports alleged that the victims were only female officers, documents obtained by Navy Times stated sailors also recorded female midshipmen temporarily aboard the sub. Violated: US Navy has launched investigation into allegations that some of the first women to serve on the USS Wyoming were secretly videotaped in the shower by a male sailor . Vile act: A 24-year-old second class petty officer is accused of recording at least three women while they were showering on undressed aboard the Ohio-class ballistic missile sub . A Navy official told the Navy Times that dozens of women could have been filmed, as sailors had used cellphones on board the Wyoming as far back as August 2013. One of the sailors charged allegedly traded videos of officers showering for two energy drinks. Another reportedly said the video recordings were 'like Pok\u00e9mon, gotta catch them all.' Two of the seven sailors have been referred to court martial. Electronics Technician 2nd Class Joseph Bradley, 25, is charged with distributing videos and destroying evidence. Charge sheets state Bradley asked an unnamed technician to send over videos of the women when the ship was docked at its home port in Kings Bay, Georgia, which he then passed along to others. Missile Technician 3rd Class Brandon McGarity, 25, is charged with failing to report the videos and making a false official statement. In addition to the sailors from the USS Wyoming, an individual stationed at Trident Training Facility in Kings Bay is being charged. According to an incident report written last year, the unsuspecting women were recorded bathing and changing aboard the ballistic missile submarine. A 24-year-old second class petty officer allegedly made the videos over the past year and distributed them among his male colleagues. The clips were said to depict at least three servicewomen in the shower and in various states of undress aboard the Wyoming - an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine. The first female sailors were introduced to American subs beginning in 2011 as part of a concerted integration effort, which has been labeled a success by the Navy. The privacy violation scandal comes at an especially sensitive time as Navy officials are preparing to integrate Virginia-class attack submarines. Come January, six female officers will join the crews of USS Virginia and USS Minnesota, according to a statement issued in October 2013 by Vice Admiral Michael Connor, commander of Submarine Forces. A ballistic missile sub such as the USS Wyoming typically has 15 officers and 140 enlisted crew members on board.

Speaking from his hospital bed, he said a gang kidnapped him and beat him mercilessly, demanding to know the location of his friend who had lain across the girls' laps. Offending image: Muhammad Riyaz, 20, was reportedly the student on the left-hand side of this photo taken in Mangalore, India, which spread on WhatsApp and came to the attention of so-called 'moral police' It is believed the photograph was first circulated on February 22 after being taken at a college in the suburb of Surathkal where Mr Riyaz studied computer science. It quickly caused ripples in the morally conservative part of India, causing 'emotional outbursts' among other students, the college claimed. Events came to a head when Mr Riyaz received a phone call from friends after a vigilante group had persuaded fellow college students to identify him. He said he went to a friend's house where a gang of men appeared and dragged him into a car, driving him to the edge of the city. While they beat him - including with wooden sticks - they demanded to know where his friend was and why he, a Muslim, had taken a photo with Hindu girls, he said. His ordeal lasted several hours, after which he was abandoned three miles from home and left to find his way to getting medical help. According to The News Minute, the student said: 'We were outside near the gate, when a Maruti 800 car came and they asked me something. Then suddenly, they just hold of me and dragged me into the car. 'All of us have been very close since the first year. If we were not close, would the girls permit it? 'See the photo.

When they do declare their Christianity, whether in the office or on the shop floor, they are often mocked or treated like bigots \u2013 and their children are even ridiculed at school. Christians also think their faith is being pushed out of its role as a cornerstone of life in Britain, according to a major study by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. And ironically, many feel they are being persecuted by the same anti-discrimination and equality laws supported by the equality watchdog. Persecuted: The study of 2,500 people found many of the Christians who took part felt they needed to hide their faith at work or at school, for fear of being called bigots or being mocked . Nearly 2,500 people of all faiths were quizzed about religion at work for the nationwide study. It follows years of conflict over Christians\u2019 right to act in accordance with their religious beliefs. A series of high-profile court battles have left many feeling that the law is tilted against them and that gay rights trump their own. Many of the major test cases have been backed by the equality commission itself, including the successful Supreme Court case brought by a gay couple against hoteliers Peter and Hazelmary Bull, who declined to rent them a room because they were not married. The commission is currently backing a legal claim against a Belfast-based Christian-run bakery that wouldn\u2019t bake a cake bearing a slogan that supported gay marriage. Of those who responded to the commission\u2019s survey, 1,030 said they were Christian. The next largest group \u2013188 \u2013 were atheist. People of other faiths made up the rest. The commission\u2019s report said: \u2018A recurring theme among some employees was the pressure they felt they were under to keep their religion hidden at work and feeling discriminated against when it came to wearing religious symbols or expressing their beliefs. This was particularly felt by Christians. \u2018People reported being mocked for their beliefs, including Christians, who said their colleagues assumed they were bigoted. Some Christian-run services or businesses said they felt in turmoil about behaving in ways that they feared might breach the Equality Act 2010, which protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in access to goods and services.\u2019 There were also protests from some humanists and atheists, the report said, including complaints there were no humanist chaplains at hospitals. Several atheists felt left out if they worked for companies that staged events in churches. Commission chief executive Mark Hammond said of the survey: \u2018What came out strongly was the widespread confusion about the law, leading to some resentment and tensions between groups, and anxiety for employers who fear falling foul of what they see as complicated equality and human rights legislation.\u2019 He said that the commission would produce new guidance to \u2018help everyone address some of the issues\u2019.

Sketching out his campaign strategy, Cruz aides said he will hope to raise more than $40million to help him compete in the primary campaign. Cruz is said to be skipping the step of forming an 'exploratory committee', which Jeb Bush has already taken, and will directly announce the bid. He will hope that his conservative credentials will play well with the Tea Party wing of the GOP, and also rely on scooping up second and third-preference votes from less convinced voters. Though he lacks the clout of other candidates within Washington and the political establishment, strategists admit, they hope that with the voters of key states like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, he will be able to carry the day nonetheless.

They couldn't read who the letter was addressed to, but noticed the name started with the letter 'M'. Garrick recognized the signature from an old friend of hers and immediately sent a picture of the letter to her friend Diane Bryant, who responded by saying she knew 'exactly where that came from'.

Six out of ten said that claimants should be able to spend benefits only on specific goods and services, as with food stamps in the US. Fewer than one in ten people think that immigrants \u2013 from the EU or elsewhere \u2013 should be able to claim welfare payments indefinitely, while even half of Labour voters would set a six-month limit on giving EU arrivals access to the full range of benefits.

Mert Tanay weaved in and out of traffic in his powerful BMW 323 and even failed to realise he had sped past a police car that had been chasing another speeding vehicle on the M20 at Harrietsham, Kent. Police chased the 26-year-old for 10 miles to catch him and when he pulled over officers said his son looked terrified and was shaking in the passenger seat.

+{"article": "A grandmother from Italy has accidentally poisoned herself, her partner, their son, grandchildren and one of their friends by making them hot chocolate from sachets that was 25 years out of date. The 77-year-old woman, named only as Mrs. Rosetta, from the northeastern town of Vicenza, made the drink after her grandchildren and their friend, aged between nine and 12, asked for it, making extra cups for her son, her husband and herself. Shortly afterwards, all of them were taken to hospital with stomach upsets and vomiting, which authorities traced to the sachets, which expired in 1990, according to Il Giornale Di Vicenza. The woman, named as Mrs Rosetta, 77, was taken to hospital with vomiting and a stomach upset along with her husband, son, two grandchildren, and their young friend . It is thought that Mrs Rosetta bought the drink some time in the late 80s, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Tiananmen Square protests, and while Margaret Thatcher was still Prime Minister. The chocolate powder had then laid at the bottom of her cupboard, forgotten, until one day earlier this month when one of her grandchildren asked for it to drink. Discovering the sachets at the back of the cupboard, she promptly mixed it into warm milk and served it, with disastrous results. According to Il Mattino her husband began suffering from vomiting and a stomach upset around an hour after drinking the chocolate, followed by herself, the children, and finally her son. The pensioner, from the town of Vicenza, is thought to have bought the sachets some time in the late 80s - before the fall of the Berlin Wall and while Margaret Thatcher was still Prime Minister . All of them had to be rushed to the emergency room for treatment, with one of the youngsters being kept in for 20 days, reports Corriere Del Veneto. While it appears to have been an accident, the grandmother has been charged with causing injury, with a file passed to prosecutors for consideration. Hot chocolate mix usually contains powdered cocoa and sugar, which do not usually go off but will decrease in quality over time, and powdered milk, which can go off after long periods.

Dennis J. Brantner was arrested in Berit Beck's killing after he made an appearance on an unrelated charge in Kenosha County. He's now been charged with first degree homicide. The 18-year-old Beck was killed in July 1990 after she stopped in Fond du Lac while traveling. Her body was found about six weeks later in a ditch in rural Fond du Lac County. Break: Police have arrested a suspect in a Wisconsin murder nearly 25 years on. Berit Beck (right) was 18 in July 1990 when she vanished, only to be found strangled in a ditch over a month later. Now, local trucker Dennis Brantner, 61, (left) has been arrested for the crime . Authorities said last year they had evidence that pointed Brantner and named him as a suspect. A court document says his fingerprints were on items in Beck's van. 'This has always been a no-win situation no matter how it works out,' Fond du Lac County Sheriff Mick Fink told the Fond du Lac Reporter. 'We will go forward. We talked with the Becks and they have been notified.' Beck was heading to a work seminar in Appleton, Wisconsin when she vanished. It is believed she stopped at a Walgreens during her journey, which is the last place she was seen alive. According to a complaint obtained by the Fond du Lac Reporter, 'no physical evidence directly links ... (anyone) other than Dennis J. Brantner to the GMC van Berit Beck was last seen driving.' Police say Brantner's fingerprints were found March 11 on a cigarette cellophane that was inside Beck's van. When he was interviewed by police last year, he said he had no idea how they got there. However, he reportedly asked police 'why would I do anything like that in the first place?' before police told him she was a murder victim. Physical evidence: Brantner was first named as a suspect in 2014 but told police he had nothing to do with the cold case murder. However, Fond du Lac police say they've since connected him, and only him, to the van Beck was driving when she vanished using fingerprints . He soon became emotional, however. 'I don't remember anything. I don't wanna,' Brantner told police. '(If) I did I did...if I did I don't know.'

And, in 1994, he was arrested for kidnapping and beating his estranged second wife. Brantner was unknown to Beck's family prior to police naming him as a suspect in 2014.

The photos have been preserved and identified by collectors and historians Ken and Jenny Jacobson, who have co-authored a book that documents Ruskin\u2019s photography.

Cameron Jerome's 18th goal of the season gave the Canaries a deserved lead at the break and the hosts were controlling the game when disaster struck in the 66th minute. Ruddy had had little to do all afternoon but when required to catch an in swinging corner from debutant Jamie Hanson he somehow fumbled the ball into his own net to gift the defensive-minded Rams a point. Norwich City's goalkeeper John Ruddy reacts after fumbling the ball to concede an equalising goal . Norwich City players stand dejected as Derby County's players celebrate their fortunate equalising goal . The clash between second-placed Derby and fifth-placed Norwich got off to a cagey start, with Bradley Johnson's off-target shot from long range for the home side the only effort of note in the opening stages. Norwich were very much on the front foot though and Alex Tettey and Jonny Howson also tried their luck from distance with no success against a Derby side who looked as though they had come for a point. On-loan midfielder Graeme Dorrans then had a clear sight of goal, only for a poor first touch to allow Johnny Russell to clear for a corner, before Cameron Jerome steered the ball just wide after being put in by Wes Hoolahan. Norwich City's Cameron Jerome scores his sides first goal of the game at Carrow Road on Saturday . Without their main men up front - Darren Bent and Chris Martin - the Rams barely posed a threat at the other end and it was no surprise when Jerome opened the scoring for the hosts on 31 minutes. A slick one-touch move instigated by Tettey ended with Martin Olsson crossing low for Norwich's top scorer to slot home from close range. Derby's appeals for offside were waved away and Norwich continued to dominate, although Russell's quick dart into the box did provide a rare moment of alarm for the home side. Norwich maintained their grip on the game in the early part of the second period, with Jerome heading over from a corner before Lee Grant's parry from a Steven Whittaker snap-shot prompted a scramble in the visitors' box. Norwich City's Gary Hooper (right) and Derby County's Craig Bryson compete for the ball during the draw . Jamie Hanson and Wesley Hoolahan compete for the ball as both side look for the winner at Carrow Road . Derby's lack of a specialist front man was painfully obvious although Tom Ince's low shot on the hour mark did draw a save out of Ruddy. But the Norwich keeper then made a horrible mistake to hand the Rams an equaliser they scarcely deserved.

Car rental company Hertz has been slammed by customers for putting cameras inside their vehicles. The controversial device was installed as part of the in-car navigation system and guide, NeverLost 6 app, which was introduced in 2014. Drivers fear the lens is a breach of their privacy, but the firm insist they do not work and have no plans to turn them on. They also state they do not have the bandwidth capabilities to support video streaming. The cameras were added so drivers could interact with a member of the customer services team during an emergency or when stationary. To start a conversation, the motorist or a passenger would have been able to turn on the camera themselves - but because of technical difficulties the feature hasn't been integrated into the system. Rich Broome, a spokesman for Hertz, told the Daily Mail Online it would have been completely customer activated and could not have been turned on remotely. He added that there is 'nothing behind the lens' and there is no timetable to connect the device. However some drivers who regularly rent from Hertz have still expressed their concern at the camera's presence. One customer wrote on the forum Flyertalk: 'I am a regular renter from Hertz (President's Circle). This week after the usual excessive wait for the Hertz airport shuttle, I got into a rental car at O'Hare airport. 'I immediately noticed the new NeverLost and I was completely shocked to see a camera built into the device looking at me. The system can't be turned off from what could tell.

A Syracuse University pledge may lose four fingers after being forced to crawl in the snow and perform late-night push-ups, and two fraternity members now face charges for the hazing stunt. Three young men pledging the Nu Alpha Phi fraternity were taken to Lower Hookway Park around midnight Saturday and made to do exercises wearing hooded sweatshirts, pants, boots but no gloves for 'failing to perform their daily duties,' according to Syracuse police. Pledges usually perform physical exercise in the attic of the fraternity house at 739 Ackerman Avenue, according to police. After about 30 minutes of crawling and rolling around in the snow, the pledges were given hand warmers and told to walk back to the frat house, according to police.

But a new machine could help landlords feeling the pinch, because it can produce pints that cost just 35 pence (53 cents) each. The Truebrew Technobrewery can make 280 pints of beer in just two hours at the touch of a button. Revolutionary? The Truebrew Technobrewery (pictured) may look unassuming, but it could save ailing pubs and bars by making 280 pints of beer in just two hours, costing just 35 pence (53 cents) each . A similar size to an industrial oven, the machine is intended for business use and will cost around \u00a325,000 ($38,000). The machine allows landlords to brew their own beer for a quarter of the price of buying it in from a brewery. The British Beer & Pub Association refused to comment on how much it typically costs larger breweries to brew a pint 'for competition reasons.' But Dave Bailey, the founder of Hardknott Brewery in Cumbria told The Guardian in 2011 that it cost 90p to make a pint of beer, including 3p for malt, 2p for hops, 20p for labour and 20p for duty and 12p for transport. Cheap and unique: The machine allows people to brew their own beer for a fraction of the price of buying it in and they can create their own unique brews to impress friends and attract customers . A serious business: A similar size to an industrial oven, the machine (pictured) is not intended to be stored in the kitchen and costs around \u00a325,000 ($38,000) Regularly drinking beer could help slow dementia, research suggests. Scientists have discovered an ingredient in hops which they think could slow the progression of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. In laboratory experiments they found that the chemical, called xanthohumol or Xn, could help protect brain cells from oxidative damage associated with dementia. The research, published in December in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, suggested that people who regularly drink beer might be better able to ward off the progression of neurological diseases. Taking inflation into account - but not any increases in duties - this means that a pint costs just over \u00a31 to make. Pubs brewing their own beer was an age-old tradition until the mid-1800\u2019s when the introduction of duty killed it off, but now that tradition is being revived with bars launching their own microbreweries. Beer industry experts Robert McLauchlan and Graham Steele have spent the last 10 years developing the Truebrew Technobrewery. The machine is filled it with water, and then ingredients including hops are placed inside. It's then switched on for two hours. The machine is self-cleaning and the beer is ready to drink seven days later. After fermentation, it can be put into casks or bottles and sold directly from a pub, which the company says guarantees its freshness and wipes out transportation costs.

Another reason behind the Sydney trio's success is the natural sex appeal they inject into the humorous skit. As models who met through the same agency, Shackleford admits while they are aware of their attractiveness they've chosen to incorporate it into the act in a way that defies the typical 'pretty girl' stereotype and still empowers women. 'Unlike what might be synonymous with an attractive girl, we want to be crazy, let our hair down, and break the rules a bit.

She was found unresponsive at 3.03am on January 18. She was rushed to Monongahela Valley Hospital but she could not be revived and was pronounced dead at 4.10am. California borough police said that a preliminary report from medical personnel indicated the death appeared to be accidental and there were suggestions she had choked on gum. Tragedy: Shanice Clark, 21, was found unresponsive in her dorm room at California University of Pennsylvania, where she played basketball, in January. She passed away from a blood cell disorder . But Coroner Tim Warco blamed it on sickle cell trait, a blood cell disorder that often does not have any symptoms but can lead to sudden death in extremely rare cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. University officials said they were 'deeply saddened' by the death of the 6-foot senior forward, who had played two dozen games for the Vulcans last season. Athletic director Karen Hjerpe called Clark 'a bright student and talented player' and said 'her smile and personality will be missed'.

'For Shanice, it was, \"There's a good hairstylist\",' said Clunis, the founder of a non-profit basketball program she had attended. 'When she shares that with you, you can't help but laugh.' He said that this sense of humor had made her popular among students and staff.

The more than 700 climbers and guides who spend nearly two months on Everest's slopes each climbing season leave large amounts of faeces and urine, and the issue has not been addressed, the chief of Nepal's mountaineering association, Ang Tshering, told reporters on Tuesday. 'Climbers usually dig holes in the snow for their toilet use and leave the human waste there,' Tshering said, adding that the waste has been 'piling up' for years around the four camps. Scroll down for video . Human waste left by climbers on Mount Everest has become a problem that is causing pollution and threatening to spread disease on the world's highest peak, chief of Nepal's mountaineering association said . He said Nepal's government needs to get the climbers to dispose of the waste properly so the mountain remains pristine. Hundreds of foreign climbers attempt to scale Everest during Nepal's mountaineering season, which began this week and runs through May. Last year's season was canceled after 16 local guides were killed in an avalanche in April. Climbers spend weeks acclimatizing around the four camps set up between the base camp at 5,300 meters (17,380 feet) and the 8,850-meter-high (29,035-foot-high) summit. The camps have tents and some essential equipment and supplies, but do not have toilets. At the base camp, where there are more porters, cooks and support staff during the climbing season, there are toilet tents with drums to store the waste. Once filled, the drums are carried to a lower area, where the waste is properly disposed. Hundreds of foreign climbers attempt to scale Everest during Nepal's mountaineering season, which began this week and runs through May . Dawa Steven Sherpa, who has been leading Everest cleanup expeditions since 2008, said some climbers carry disposable travel toilet bags to use in the higher camps. 'It is a health hazard and the issue needs to be addressed,' he said. Nepal's government has not come up with a plan yet to tackle the issue of human waste. But starting this season, officials stationed at the base camp will strictly monitor garbage on the mountain, said Puspa Raj Katuwal, the head of the government's Mountaineering Department. The government imposed new rules last year requiring each climber to bring down to the base camp eight kilograms (18 pounds) of rubbish \u2014 the amount it estimates a climber discards along the route. Climbing teams must leave a $4,000 (\u00a32600) deposit that they lose if they don't comply with the regulations, Katuwal said. More than 4,000 climbers have scaled Mount Everest since 1953, when it was first conquered by New Zealand climber Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay. Hundreds of others have died in the attempt, while many have succeeded only with help from oxygen tanks, equipment porters and Sherpa guides.", "summary": "Over 700 climbers and guides spend two months on Everest each year .

'It was as long as a small car and had hundreds of sharp teeth in its big flat head, which kind of looks like a toilet seat when the jaws snap shut.

This event marked the end of the Triassic Period, when the super landmass of Pangaea, which included all the world's present-day continents, began to break apart. The extinction killed off many groups of vertebrates, including giant amphibians, and paved the way for dinosaurs to take over the Earth. Members of the Portuguese Metoposaurus colony are thought to have died when the lake they inhabited dried up. Only a four square metre fraction of the site has been excavated so far, and work is continuing in the hope of unearthing more fossils.

Now, experts have discovered two new species of the spooky crustaceans - Geosesarma dennerle and Geosesarma hagen - have been lurking in home aquariums for years.

Scientists have discovered two new species of the spooky crustaceans - Geosesarma dennerle (pictured) and Geosesarma hagen - which are found in many home aquariums . 'These crabs are kind of special because they've been around in the pet trade for ten years, but no one knew where they come from,' said Christian Lukhaup, a professional aquarist in Waiblingen, Germany, who was speaking to National Geographic.

Vampire crabs are so-called because of their spooky yellow eyes, which are the same colour as fictional vampires' who drink the blood of animals/ . Before being identified as new species, the two types of crabs were known to have originally come from somewhere in Southeast Asia. A site selling vampire crabs says they thrive in aquariums with rocks to climb on and like to sit on Java moss. Females dig down into sand to have their offspring and both sexes are more active in warmer water - typically between 21\u00b0C and 27\u00b0C (70\u00b0F and 80\u00b0F). They are apparently easy to care for and are quite sociable, getting along well with one another and seldom fight. The crabs grow up to one inch wide (3cm) and live for up to three years. Christoph Schubart, co-author of the study from Resenburg University, Germany, said dealers look for bright specimens in areas which may not have been explored by scientists. 'Suddenly the market is formed with some animals that no one has ever given a name,' he said. Lukhaup, who is from Transylvania, the fabled home of Dracula, used contacts in the aquarium trade to find out where dealers were getting the colourful crabs from and after several false leads, found they come from central Java.

But despite this, the planet has got greener in the past decade, with the total amount of plant coverage increasing overall. The increase is so noticeable that the world's trees and plants now store almost four billion more tonnes of carbon than they did in 2003. Thousands of square miles of rainforest is cleared in the Amazon (pictured) each year to make way for farming land - a pattern of destruction that takes place all around the world - but despite this, the planet has got greener in the past decade, with the total amount of plant coverage increasing overall . This is thanks to tree-planting in China, forest regrowth in former Soviet states because of abandoned farms, and more lush savannas because of higher rainfall. Scientists analysed 20 years of satellite data and found an increase in carbon, despite ongoing large-scale tropical deforestation in Brazil and Indonesia, according to research published on Monday in Nature Climate Change. Carbon flows between the world's oceans, air and land. It is present in the atmosphere primarily as carbon dioxide (CO2) - the main climate-changing gas - and stored as carbon in trees. Through photosynthesis, trees convert carbon dioxide into the food they need to grow, locking the carbon in their wood. The greening of Earth is thanks to tree-planting in China, forest regrowth in former Soviet states because of abandoned farms and more lush savannas because of abandoned farms and higher rainfall. An an image of a family on a farming collective in the USSR in 1935 is shown . The researchers say that Earth is getting greener thanks to a combination of environmental and financial factors. There are more trees in China because of planting programmes that have been running for a few decades. Vegetation has increased on the savannahs of Australia, Africa and South America as a result of increasing rainfall. Russia and former Soviet republics have seen the regrowth of forests since huge collective farms have been abandoned. The increase of carbon in the atmosphere over the past decade has caused the 'CO2 fertilisation effect' which has improved the growing conditions for plants a little. As Earth gradually warms up and ice and permafrost melts in the Arctic, the 'tree line' is moving north, meaning there are more pine forests springing up. While the four-billion-tonne increase is helpful, it is small compared to the 60 billion tonnes of carbon released into the atmosphere by fossil fuel burning and cement production over the same period, said Yi Liu, the study's lead author and a scientist at the University of New South Wales.

The word that kept coming into my mind was 'tranquil', which, given there are more than 250 rooms, is amazing. Even the staff seemed completely relaxed, but they were also highly efficient and went out of their way to make everyone feel special.

But I trusted them completely and Indio seemed to look forward to their arrival. There were very few British people staying - and lots of Italians.

And if one scientists gets his way, one of these searches could involve looking for dark matter - one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the cosmos. He proposes that the Higgs boson itself - which gives particles their mass - could disintegrate into dark matter, and he\u2019s hoping the team at Cern can prove his theory. Scroll down for video . Previously a Higgs particle has been created in an LHC detector and has then disintegrated into four muons (the four red lines). According to Dr Christoffer Petersson\u2019s model the Higgs particle can also disintegrate into a photon and particles of dark matter . Dr Christoffer Petersson from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and two colleagues came up with the new particle model to predict the existence of dark matter. The current \u2018Standard Model\u2019 of particle physics is quite good at describing physics on a subatomic level, but it can\u2019t account for dark matter in the universe. Dr Petersson\u2019s model, though, contains more \u2018elementary particles\u2019 - the smallest known to exist - than the Standard Model. This includes dark matter particles. 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 his model also gives the Higgs particle different properties, suggesting that it can disintegrate into a photon (a particle of light) and particles of dark matter. To prove his theory, though, he needs a particle accelerator - and it seems that Cern is willing to conduct such an experiment. Two independent experimental stations - Atlas and CMS - at the Large Hadron Collider are looking for the very properties of the Higgs particle his model predicts. If the properties are there, it is a clear indication that the model fits. \u2018It's a dream for a theorist in particle physics,\u2019 said Dr Petersson. \u2018[The] LHC is the only place where the model can be tested.

The civil rights activist was running for office at the time of the fires, which were six years apart and in separate buildings in New York. It has been reported that Sharpton subsequently failed to comply with tax and campaign filing requirements. According to the National Review Online, the first fire happened in 1997 as Sharpton was running for mayor while the second happened while he was running for president in 2003. The fires destroyed \u2018critical financial records\u2019, the report said. The first blaze, on April 10, 1997 - five days before Tax Day - started in a hair and nail salon below Sharpton\u2019s headquarters at West 125th Street in New York and investigators treated it as an arson/explosion case. At the time, the Reverend\u2019s spokesman said the campaign had lost its \u2018entire Manhattan operation\u2019 while the mayor at the time, Rudy Giuliani, said the investigation centred on the salon rather than Sharpton\u2019s campaign . The National Review reports that Sharpton said he was unable to file certain financial documents and blamed the fire for the destruction of the records. On January 23, 2003, a fire caused extensive damage in the offices of his non-profit organisation National Action Network on Madison Avenue. It happened a day after Sharpton submitted documents to create a presidential exploratory committee, the website reports. Investigators initially treated the blaze as suspicious but later put it down to \u2018NFA (Not Fully Ascertained) \u2013 heat from electrical equipment\u2019. But National Review Online reports that \u2018significant oddities\u2019 surrounded the fire and the investigation.

It quotes supervising fire marshal, James Kelty, who attended the scene, as saying that he found it \u2018unusual\u2019 when he was unexpectedly relieved from investigating the blaze. When Mr Kelty was told that the report into the fire was only six pages long with 38 pictures from the scene, he said that such a document would generally be \u2018much more exhaustive\u2019 given Sharpton\u2019s high profile. The website also quotes sources about one of Sharpton\u2019s former employees J. D. Livingston. It says Mr Livingston, who immigrated to the United States from Guyana, was first on the scene as the fire took hold. The report says Livingston claimed he was in a reception room when the fire broke out but that a major fire had developed by the time fire crews arrived.

The predictions come as Forbes released its billionaires list this week with Bill Gates - who is widely expected to become the world's first trillionaire - at the top with a worth of $79.2 billion. If the U.S. national wealth continues to grow at its current rate, Gates, who saw his fortune grow by $4.2 billion in the past year alone, could well reach the eye-watering figure in his old age. Among those who believe a trillionaire is only years away, entrepreneur Peter Diamandis says he believes the wealth could be earned through space discoveries, the Washington Times reported. Could he be the first? Microsoft's Bill Gates topped Forbes' billionaire list earlier this week and he could well be the first person to become a trillionaire. Analysts say the first trillionaire could be just 20 years away . 1. Bill Gates - Microsoft, $79.2 bn . 2. Carlos Slim Helu - telecoms, $77.1bn . 3. Warren Buffet - investor, $72.7bn . 4.

Jim Walton - Walmart, $40.6 bn . 10. Liliane Bettencourt - L'Oreal, $40.1 bn . 'I think the first trillionaire is going to be made in space,' he told Business Insider this week. Diamandis, an engineer and physician behind companies including Space Adventures Ltd., said individuals and firms finally have the capabilities to explore space for themselves, which could lead to lucrative discoveries. Among Diamandis' own 17 companies, he has teams prospecting near-Earth asteroids, which he calls 'trillion dollar assets'. They represent 'everything we hold of value on Earth, minerals, metals, real estate,' he said. But he's not the only one who believes bank accounts are set to expand. International investment bank Credit Suisse has previously said in an annual Global Wealth Report that there will be 11 trillionaires within two generations. 'Two generations ahead, future extrapolation of current wealth growth rates yields almost a billion millionaires, equivalent to 20 per cent of the total adult population,' the bank said in 2013.

Van der Garde was axed by Sauber from his role as test driver at the end of last year as the Swiss-based marque employed Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr. But, with a contract from the team stating he was to be given a full-time seat for this season, Van der Garde has pursued Sauber through the courts these past few weeks. Giedo van der Garde, outside the Victorian Supreme Court on Wednesday, has charged Sauber with reneging on a deal to give him a race seat after they signed Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr . An arbitration panel in Switzerland initially ordered Sauber 'to refrain from taking action' that would deny Van der Garde a drive. That decision was then upheld on Wednesday by the Supreme Court in Victoria, Australia, following a hearing on Monday. Although Sauber immediately launched an appeal, that has now been rejected following the latest hearing on Thursday. At present, Van der Garde is now pursuing an enforcement of the order to ensure Sauber comply, which would result in the 29-year-old taking part in first practice from 12.30pm local time on Friday. Sauber are now left with three drivers; Van der Garde, Marcus Ericsson (left) and Felipe Nasr (right) For Sauber team principal Monisha Kaltenborn, she has three drivers on her books, but only two seats available. Should Kaltenborn ignore the ruling and opt to continue with Ericsson and Nasr she and the team could find themselves in contempt of court. In pursuing the enforcement in a separate hearing and in front of a different judge less than an hour after the appeal verdict was handed down, van der Garde's lawyer called for the potential sequestration of Sauber's assets and committal of its directors if the team failed to comply. Sauber have since been asked to provide a list of those assets, which includes their cars and equipment at Melbourne's Albert Park in place for the race. Court proceedings are due to continue at 10.30am local time (11.30pm UK), just two hours before the start of first practice. Sauber's failure to comply could result in the sequestration of their assets, and the possibility of action being taken against Kaltenborn given her position as a director. For his part, Van der Garde is also attempting to acquire a valid and temporary super licence - required for any driver to compete in F1 - as the one in place for last season has since expired. The 29-year-old must do so through his local motor-racing authority in Holland, who in turn contact world governing body, the FIA. Van der Garde had said he was looking forward to going back to the team and driving for them this weekend .

A grand jury will hear evidence in the case on March 26 and will decide on an indictment. She is accused of decapitating her daughter Janiyah at her aunt's College Hill home on Monday morning before placing the knife in the child's hand and going to bed. After her family found the grisly scene, Watkins, who had previously been ordered to stay away from the child after being hospitalized with psychiatric problems, was taken to hospital for evaluation. In court: Deasia Watkins, who has been charged with aggravated murder in the beheading death of her baby daughter, said nothing at her first court appearance in Hamilton County, Ohio on Friday .

Six months ago, the Palestinian militant group emerged battered and bruised from a 50-day conflict with Israel, where it fought alongside fellow Islamist movement Hamas, which controls Gaza. Islamic Jihad's armed wing the Al-Quds Brigades lost 123 men, but fired 3,249 rockets at the Jewish state, it says, including Iranian-made Fajr 5 missiles which reached Tel Aviv and even northern Israel. Heavily armed: Palestinian militants from the Islamic Jihad's armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, squat in a tunnel used for ferrying rockets and mortars back and forth in the Gaza Strip . The conflict, where Israel tried to flush out Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants by bombarding the coastal enclave, killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 73 people on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers. But the group says it is resurgent. 'We're at our highest level of alert to counter any attack. We're used to the occupation (Israel) breaking its ceasefires,' senior commander Abu al-Bara told journalists from inside one of the group's tunnels. 'What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. We're gathering all our strength since it's a war that never ends. We're ready to go to another level against the Zionist occupation and carry out actions we've never done before,' he said, without elaborating. The war ended on August 26 with a fragile Hamas-Israel ceasefire brokered by Egypt. In the meantime, Islamic Jihad has sought to replace its fallen comrades, and its manpower is estimated at between 10,000 and 15,000 fighters.

+{"article": "A 20-year-old US Air Force satellite has exploded in space, adding 43 pieces of space junk to Earth\u2019s orbit, reports have claimed. The explosion happened on 3 February due to a sudden temperature spike, although the event has only just come to light. However, talking to MailOnline, Nasa and Esa said the catastrophic event posed no significant risk to other satellites in Earth orbit. A US Air Force satellite has exploded 500 miles above Earth's surface. An unknown 'temperature spike' caused the explosion of the Defense MeteorologicalSatellite Program Flight 13 (DMSP-F13). One of the series of satellites is illustrated here. This has resulted in 43 new pieces of debris in Earth orbit . The previously unknown incident was revealed by Space News, after posing questions to Air Force Space Command. Known as the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Flight 13 (DMSP-F13), it was launched back in 1995 and had remained in operation until now. 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 hundreds of thousands 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 US communications satellite and a defunct Russian military probe over Siberia. Some tentative solutions to clear up space junk have been suggested - such as using nets to scoop some up - but nothing has been tried so far. This made it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites. Exactly what has happened to the satellite, though, is still not clear, with the temperature spike remaining a mystery. Air Force Space Command said the power subsystem experienced 'a sudden spike in temperature'. This was followed by 'an unrecoverable loss of altitude control', before pieces of debris were then spotted in the vicinity of the satellite - suggesting it had partially exploded. Part of the satellite still seems to be intact, however, as it is sending and receiving signals - although Air Force Space Command Told MailOnline said it was 'unrecoverable'. Speaking to MailOnline, Andy Roake, Chief of the Current Operations Division at Air Force Space Command, said the fault was likely due to the satellite reaching the end of its operational life time. \u2018A thermal spike can be caused by a variety of things from on board anomaly to space environment changes,\u2019 he said. \u2018In this case we believe the satellite was wearing down. The satellite had already exceeded its design life three times over providing thousands of hours of weather imagery. \u2018Prior to the power failure, the satellite had already lost its primary", "summary": "A US Air Force satellite has exploded 500 miles above Earth's surface .

The hoses outside the front of Saint Mary of the Assumption were apparently installed two years ago without necessary planning permission.

Some branded the sprayers - which used hundreds of gallons of water every night - 'shocking', 'rude', 'inhumane' and a 'waste of resources'. Against building regulations: The main cathedral in San Francisco has been ordered to take down a sprinkler system used to deter homeless from sleeping in its porchways . Discreet: The hoses outside the front of Saint Mary of the Assumption were apparently installed two years ago without necessary planning permission . Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homeless, added that the time-triggered mechanisms were 'certainly not formed on the basis of Catholic teachings.' However, the church defended the sprinkler idea stating that it wasn't safe having homeless people and drug addicts lurking when families were visiting. Chris Lyford, a spokesman for the Archdiocese, told CBS that staff tried to find other forms of accommodation for those without shelter. 'We refer them, mostly to Catholic Charities, for example for housing,' Lyford said. 'To Saint Anthony's soup kitchen for food, if they want food on that day.

Ask Gunners fans prior to kick-off if they'd rather three points or a Tottenham defeat in the Capital One Cup final and you'd have been greeted with differing opinions. As it happened, they all got their wish. Their arch-rivals lost to Chelsea at Wembley and Arsenal got their win \u2014 by the same scoreline, \u2014 courtesy of goals from Olivier Giroud and Tomas Rosicky, to move four points behind second-placed Manchester City. Olivier Giroud points to the sky after scoring the opener against Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday . Giroud had a less than enjoyable time in his side's Champions League defeat against Monaco on Wednesday . The French striker congratulates team-mate Tomas Rosicky after he doubled the Gunners' lead on Sunday . But much like their demoralising Champions League loss to Monaco on Wednesday night, this didn't make for comfortable viewing. The 2-0 score doesn't tell the full story. This was unconvincing from Arsenal; the Emirates Stadium a bag of nerves until Rosicky's last-minute goal. Nevertheless, while their participation in this year's Champions League is under huge threat, their qualification for next year's competition remains on course. Despite their lack of fluency, Wenger would have been pleased with the response shown by his wounded players following the midweek loss. Giroud, barracked by his own supporters on Wednesday, did not hide; likewise Francis Coquelin, who played on after breaking his nose. This wasn't the Arsenal we're accustomed to, but after the Monaco monstrosity that didn't concern Wenger. 'I think what was really important was the mentally united response,' he said. Rosicky had been on the pitch for a matter of minutes when he doubled Arsenal's lead at the Emirates . Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said he was proud of his side's response to the loss against Monaco . 'I am very proud of the response we have shown. Our defensive concentration was at a much higher level than on Wednesday. 'We know with the ball we can do better but overall what was important for us was to respond with a win. Not everyone can produce that after such a disappointment and it was vital for us to win.' Wenger's comments, particularly regarding his side's defensive stability, will have resonated with Per Mertesacker. The Frenchman rang the changes following Wednesday's loss.

Per Mertesacker (right) was demoted to the bench following Arsenal's Champions League loss to Monaco .

Rand Paul, a libertarian-leaning senator will officially announce his candidacy for president at a rally in Louisville, Kentucky on April 7, a senior adviser to the Republican politician told Daily Mail Online. With Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the race for the White House as of this morning, when he kicked off his own bid with a tweet, Paul plans to follow suit and launch his own campaign in just over two weeks. Louisville, the adviser said, was selected over Paul's hometown, Bowling Green, the city from which he set in motion his quest to become a U.S. senator, for optimum venue space. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is scheduled to follow Ted Cruz's lead and announce his presidential bid at a campaign-style event on April 7 in Louisville, Kentucky . Even before Cruz, 44, kicked off his 2016 bid, Paul, 52, had his eye on April 7 as a launch date for his own national campaign. But the fellow Republican's formal announcement helped to solidify Paul's plans. Determined not to be the first major White House hopeful to wade into the shark-infested waters, Paul intended to wait until at least one other prominent Republican contender swam out to sea. Already, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and wealthy businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump had publicly said they were forming presidential exploratory committees. Such committees allow them to legally collect money for the purposes of travelling around the country to 'test the waters' for a bid and to conduct polling. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has made clear that he will pursue a presidential campaign but has not yet held the kind of large-scale event that typically accompanies the launch of a national campaign. Cruz, voted into the Senate during the last presidential election in 2012, has selected a Christian college in Virginia as the backdrop for the public unveiling of his national enterprise. He'll make the announcement this morning at Liberty University even though he's yet to establish an exploratory committee. Paul has not yet signed paperwork legalizing a committee either but could do so in the two weeks before he throws his name into the ring. Up for reelection this year, the Republican lawmaker first had to settle an in-house dispute over whether he could pursue his current job and the one that he wants at the same time. Earlier this month the Kentucky GOP gave him its blessing to do both. As a result, the state will have a one-time caucus, paid for by Paul, to determine its presidential nominee so that Paul can remain on a statewide ballot as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, as well. If he nabs the Republican nomination for president, however, he'll have to take the state to court in order to protect his fail safe measure, as Kentucky law does not allow a politician to appear on the ballot twice for two separate positions.

Reverend Canon Gavin Ashenden, the former chaplain of Sussex University and one of 35 who serve Her Majesty, expressed concern about more than 100 passages in the Muslim holy book. But the Church of England priest declined to say whether parts of the Koran are \u2018evil\u2019, instead advising people to make up their own minds. He was responding to comments by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who warned this week about being too quick to brand people with strong religious views \u2018extremists\u2019. Yesterday, more than 60 imams and leaders of Muslim groups signed an open letter to the Government accusing it of criminalising Islam. They claimed the \u2018terror threat\u2019 was being exploited for political capital ahead of the election, as \u2018the big parties inevitably try to outdo each other in their nastiness\u2019.

'If you\u2019re going to invite people to be dedicated ... followers of their scriptures, Christians will go around forgiving people and Islamists will do something else.\u2019 Asked to compare the Bible and the Koran, he said the Christian holy text invites its followers to forgive and try to lead people away from sin, while the Muslim text invites people to violence .

Former England striker Ian Wright thought the former. \u2018Gutted that Harry Kane's not starting,\u2019 he said before kick-off, \u201829 goals, form of his life.\u2019 But within six minutes, the Arsenal man had justified the choice with a huge hand in the opener. Welbeck started on the left, but was to the right of goal when he nutmegged Lithuania\u2019s Tadas Kijanskas with some nifty footwork and fired a shot across goal, which keeper Giedrius Arlauskis could only parry into the path of Wayne Rooney to head in. He almost set up a second on 19 minutes, again getting to the byline on the right before crossing deep to Rooney, who looped a header back across goal and on to the post. Welbeck was bright and alive around the box and got the goal his first-half performance deserved just before the break. Jordan Henderson crossed from the left and he diverted it in off a shoulder via a deflection. They all count. Welbeck caused the Lithuanian defence problems all evening and justified his selection . Welbeck is congratulated by former Manchester united team-mate Wayne Rooney after doubling the lead . Kane may be the latest boy wonder, yet Welbeck is the top-scorer in this Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. His goal moved him to six for the tournament, clear of Israel\u2019s Omar Damari on five. Doubles against Slovenia and Switzerland, a goal versus San Marino and another against Lithuania is not a bad return. Say what you will about the strength of the opposition, but players can only score against what is put in front of them. Hodgson certainly recognised his value, choosing Welbeck as one of only four players - alongside Rooney, Gary Cahill and Nathaniel Clyne - to start from the last team he picked. Dat Guy Welbz, as he was dubbed by Ravel Morrison providing a nickname that went viral, did not let his manager down. He was close to adding another on 41 minutes, riding a challenge and bending a shot towards the top right corner from the edge of the box which was narrowly over.

After the plight of Cholita was highlighted by this newspaper last week, readers donated an extraordinary \u00a330,000 to Animal Defenders International, which found the bear in a terrible condition during a raid in Peru earlier this month. The elderly bear lost most of the thick black hair that covered her body as the result of the stress she endured at the circus, where she was kept in a 5ft by 5ft box, and her teeth were broken and her claws removed to prevent her from defending herself. Scroll down for video . Cholita (pictured) lost most of the thick black hair that covered her body as the result of the stress she endured at the circus in Peru . Cholita - known as the real-life Paddington bear (pictured) - suffered such appalling treatment in a circus that she lost her claws, teeth and fur . The money raised will allow the organisation to travel more than 600 miles on treacherous mountain and desert roads, which are often little more than dirt tracks, to reach the bear in a zoo near the north-western city of Piura and drive her to the Peruvian capital, Lima. The two drivers and the truck, equipped with a new cage, hay and blankets, will alone cost \u00a32,700, and the bear will also need help from veterinary staff and a support team, who will fly to Piura in advance. When the organisation has cleared the red tape needed to allow Cholita to leave the country, they will fly her and 33 lions they have rescued from other circuses in South America to the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado in the United States, where she can live out her days in peace. Because she is a spectacled bear, the same endangered species as Paddington in the children\u2019s books by Michael Bond, there are stringent conditions to be met before the authorities permit her to cross state boundaries. The organisation, which campaigns against the exploitation of wild animals, will have to delay Cholita\u2019s flight by several weeks to ensure she is allowed aboard, at a further cost of thousands of pounds a day, so it is still appealing for funds. Its president, Jan Creamer, said: \u2018We have been overwhelmed by the response from Mail on Sunday readers to help Cholita. We now need one last push so that she can begin her journey to freedom.

The Prince of Wales - the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary - could not hide his resentment towards the French Canadians in the private letter he penned on a visit to Quebec. In the letter written a few months after World War One to his mistress Freda Dudley Ward, the 25-year-old Edward expresses his disgust at their reluctance to support the British Empire. Resentment: The Prince of Wales, pictured in November 1919 during his tour of Canada, criticised the French Canadians in a private letter calling them 'shirkers in everything particularly in war' Contempt: The future King Edward VIII scoffed at the French Canadians during his royal tour (pictured here) Stinging: In the letters, Edward describes the French Canadians as 'mostly a rotten priest-ridden community' In the recently unearthed letter, he says: ''These bloody French Canadians. 'The whole thing is a very delicate, imperial and political question which I don't attempt to understand though I do know they are mostly a rotten priest-ridden community, who are the completest passengers and who won't do their bit in anything and of course the war!!' After catching a train for Toronto he wrote of how he was relieved to be leaving the French Canadians. He added: 'They really aren't worth all the trouble I've taken to be out of the way polite to them, as they are shirkers in everything particularly in war as they all voted against conscription.' The First World War divided Canada, with the French-speaking population accused of not doing enough to fight against the Germans. Later on in the letter to the married socialite, the Prince of Wales derided the attractiveness of the local women. He described one of his hostesses as 'pompous and interfering'. Detailing a formal dinner he had attended, he quipped: 'Few of the women are worth dancing with and far less are in any way attractive.' At another party at a yacht club, he complained how there were '100 very plain women' there.

It is not too revealing but for Jokanovic it is a glimpse into what he hopes is the very near future. The former Chelsea midfielder wants to manage a Premier League club and Watford, one of seven teams to have been top of the Championship so far this season, have a foot in the door. 'I take a little look now and again,' he says wryly. 'It's good to have them so close, it's a reminder of what we want to be. We can't get ahead of ourselves as this is an unforgiving division but it's the dream. It's our focus.' Watford boss Slavisa Jokanovic hopes he can lead the club to the premier league next season . Jokanovic is the fourth man to be put in charge of Watford during this campaign and joined them in October . Unforgiving is befitting of a Championship promotion race that has nine teams still vying for a Premier League place with seven games remaining. The next week is a defining moment with Watford second in the table and facing rivals Derby County and Middlesbrough in their next two matches. The fact Watford are there at all is testament to the former Chelsea midfielder when you consider he is their fourth coach of the season. Perhaps ominously, he is also out of contract in the summer. 'It's true we didn't have the best start in terms of changes,' he says, with understatement. 'But I knew what I was coming to.' Italian Beppe Sannino began the season in charge and started well but his exit followed talk of dressing-room unrest. In a bizarre five-week period, Oscar Garcia succeeded Sannino but stepped down after suffering chest pains in his first game and was replaced by Billy McKinlay. Eight days later, after a win and a draw, owner Gino Pozzo called for Jokanovic, who had won two doubles with Partizan Belgrade and the Thai Premier League with Muangthong United. He was recommended to Pozzo by staff at one of the Italian businessman's other clubs, Granada, who recognised his ability to 'find solutions on a small budget'. Jokanovic shrugs. 'It was definitely strange. It's normal for other countries but unusual here,' he says. 'For me, it was just a great opportunity; a small door opened to a big chance. I didn't know the Championship well but I knew what to expect from my time at Chelsea. I've always watched English football and I believe in myself. 'You can look at the fact the club had three coaches before I arrived but I've never been one to worry about what may happen tomorrow, just try and control today. I was excited not worried.

The Prime Minister insisted politicians, parents, communities and schools all had a responsibility to stop well-educated young Britons joining the brutal regime. His warning came ahead of the family of schoolfriends Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase giving evidence to MPs about what they say are failures by the police. The Prime Minister insisted politicians, parents, communities and schools all had a responsibility to stop well-educated young Britons joining the brutal regime . Police spoke to the three girls just months before they disappeared and found 'no evidence' that they had been radicalised . Officers were deployed to the school as part of counter-terrorism and anti-radicalisation measures after another teenage girl from Bethnal Green Academy in east London fled to join ISIS. In an interview with LBC radio, Mr Cameron said that no institution should be made a 'scapegoat' for the girls' disappearance. 'I think everyone has a role to play.

Swarbrick's blunder is the third case of mistaken identity in a calendar year following Roger East's dismissal of Sunderland's Wes Brown for bringing down Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao last month and a red card for Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs, who was sent off by Andre Marriner when it was Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who had handled a shot from Chelsea's Eden Hazard last March. Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), acknowledged that now was the time to test replays.

Acting as marker, the 52 year old actually outscored him shooting 70 to McIlroy\u2019s 71, with the latter describing Knox\u2019s performance on the greens as \u2018the best I have ever seen at Augusta\u2019.

He actually made up three strokes on Holmes on Friday despite his three iron following his golf ball into the water at the par-five eighth.

Almost no one else in the potential Republican field is thought to have the capacity to match his fundraising juggernaut. New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump is one exception. His own wealth could fund a super PAC independently, but a Trump aide has told Daily Mail Online that he would embrace a retail campaigning strategy as well. 'This campaign is about much more than money,\u201d GOP fundraiser Howard Leach told the Post. 'They need substantial funds, but they don\u2019t want the focus to be on money.' Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and declined to offer a statement to the Post. The Post noted that some of the $1 million donors are likely to becoe repeat contributors once Bush's campaign is formally launched. Big names Bush has visited on fundraising swings include Las Vegas casino legend Steve Wynn. He's in the middle of an aggressive national criss-cross designed to bulk up his campaign cofferd in what his aides have described as a 'shock and awe' campaign. Its success could discourage others with less access to big money from running against him.

The move by Peta Credlin has been derided by the business community as 'unrealistic' because nearly all of the directors on government boards were employed during Labor's six-years in government. Speaking at an Australian Institute of Company Directors lunch, chairman of CSIRO, Simon McKeon confirmed the ban on Labor appointees to government boards, claiming he will lose his position when his contract expires in June. Scroll down for video . Prime Minister Tony Abbott's chief of staff, Peta Credlin (pictured) has come under fire yet again for her controversial decision to ban Labor appointments from retaining their positions on government boards. 'Labor was in power for six years. Virtually everybody currently serving on the boards of government bodies was either appointed or reappointed while Labor was in power,' Mr McKeon said. 'If Abbott persists with his policy, there will be a full clean out of directorships.' 'The reality is that, yes, there is a rule that no one on the board of a federal government agency has been reappointed,' Mr McKeon said. 'It's an issue that many people are finding worrying.' Mr McKeon, who is also chairman of AMP, said the policy was at odds with what the AICD and Business Council of Australia subscribed to as good governance. 'My understanding is that there are many people like me who are disappointed with this quite brutal rule,' he said. 'I haven't come across anyone actually in government, let alone in private enterprise, who says `oh this is a wonderfully good initiative'.' Takeovers Panel member and Telstra director Dr Nora Scheinkestel said the panel's size had been significantly reduced as members had not been reappointed when their terms came up. In February, it was revealed that Peta Creddlin was at loggerheads with top Cabinet Ministers over her attempts to micro manage Julie Bishop and steal Joe Hockey's thunder . 'The reality is we lost a lot of people who brought great expertise, major institutional investors, investment bankers etc, and I think it's to the detriment of how the panel functions.' Mr McKeon said Australia needed excellent people on these challenging boards. 'The last thing we want to be doing is to one kick them off after three years, let alone send a very strong message saying this is the way it ought to be.' Dr Nora Scheinkestel, a director of Telstra, said she was strongly against the rule, as was chairman of BlueScope Steel Graham Kraehe. McKeon is a former Australian of the Year and is coming up for reappointment in following months, like many of his colleagues. Many of them are part of the boards for humanitarian or charitable reasons. 'My understanding is that there are many people like me who are disappointed with this quite brutal rule,' he said.

A convicted heroin dealer who led police on a high risk 20-minute chase and then deliberately rammed them has been jailed for almost a year. Munir Hussain, 34, of Brierfield, Lancashire, raced the wrong way down a dual carriageway and around a maze of residential streets as the pursuit was filmed from the sky. It ended when his tyres were punctured by a stinger and he crashed into a police car, sending one officer scrambling for his life. Burnley Crown Court heard that Hussain had been sleeping rough in his Ford Transit van and feared police were about to arrest him for being disqualified and uninsured. Hussain claimed he had been trying to start on a new life away from crime but the incident left him heading back to jail for a ten-month term. The court heard how police in a marked BMW X5 began tailing the van on January 24 - but it sped off, and they turned on their blue lights. Emma Kehoe, prosecuting, said: \u2018Such was their concern, the police helicopter was deployed. The vehicle is seen, during the course of the pursuit, travelling onto the wrong side of the carriageway, travelling the wrong way up a dual carriageway at one point and on many narrow residential streets. \u2018The vehicle is seen mounting pavements. The speeds vary. At some points the vehicle is travelling slowly, at other times it accelerates to beyond the speed limit. What is consistent throughout is it\u2019s clear from the footage the van is well aware it is being followed by the police. \u2018It refuses to stop for 20 minutes and in fact the only way the van is stopped is because a stinger is used. The defendant drove away and crashed into the police car, which was stationary.\u2019 She added: \u2018The officer is adamant he felt Mr Hussain\u2019s vehicle was driven at the police vehicle on purpose. It\u2019s clear the officer did feel that was the case as he describes himself as being terrified. \u2018He tries to get from the driver\u2019s seat to the passenger side, as the van is coming towards the driver\u2019s side, but is not able to do that because of the speed of the van. \u2018It then collides into the door of the police vehicle.

A five-year-old boy eats everything from stones, sand, soil and mortar to toilet paper, sponge, paint and fabric conditioner due to a rare disorder. Eoin Collins, from Chester, has an impulsive and untreatable craving disorder called Pica - a appetite for non-food substances.

A church treasurer who stole more than \u00a3140,000 from organisations she volunteered for after amassing huge debts killed herself after being confronted over the thefts. Jill Gover, 54, from Wool, in Dorset, was a respected and trusted member of her local community, serving as a church warden, book keeper for the village hall and trustee of a wealthy colleague's trust fund. But she racked up debts of \u00a3225,000 which included a \u00a3112,000 mortgage on a Grade II listed country cottage, \u00a338,000 for two BMW cars, three bank loans of \u00a350,000, five maxed-out credit cards totalling \u00a321,000 and a \u00a35,700 clothing catalogue bill. She kept the debts and subsequent thefts hidden from her husband Martin. Mr Gover said he was 'lost for words' after hearing the full extent of his wife's duplicity at her inquest. The inquest heard Mrs Gover siphoned off \u00a350,466 from the coffers of Holy Rood Church, in Wool, over a number of years. As treasurer she made numerous church cheques out to herself after forging the second signatory. But her deceit started to unravel after a cheque of \u00a320,000 from the church to the Diocese of Salisbury bounced due to a lack of funds in its bank account. Two days before her death last year Mrs Gover was called to a meeting with vicar Rhona Floate to discuss the discrepancies. On March 31 Mrs Gover's body was found by her husband in the woodshed on the grounds of their home in the hamlet of Moreton. Detective Constable Richard Evans from Weymouth CID then investigated Mrs Gover's finances which revealed the full extent of the thefts. The inquest heard Mrs Gover siphoned off \u00a350,466 from the coffers of Holy Rood Church (pictured) He told the inquest she had been misappropriating church funds since 2008, had not presented financial statements to an independent auditor since 2009 and had forged the audit reports to the diocese to cover up her thefts. His inquiries found Mrs Gover had also stolen at least \u00a33,000 from the accounts of East Burton village hall in Wool which she was the treasurer of between January 2013 and March 2014. Mrs Gover had also stolen \u00a391,200 from the recipients of a trust fund she had been a book keeper for. DC Evans told the inquest he discovered she wrote several fraudulent letters to Scottish Widows requesting sums from the trust account - five separate payments of between \u00a35,000 and \u00a330,000 over a seven-month period in 2012 to 2013 and then a final withdrawal of \u00a31,200 in July 2013. Two days before her death last year Mrs Gover was called to a meeting with vicar Rhona Floate (pictured) to discuss the discrepancies . Mrs Gover had also agreed to a loan from the trust of \u00a3150,000 in 2010, which she said she would pay back over a ten-year period - but the hearing was told the majority of this remained unpaid.

The former Tottenham forward, who scored 22 goals in 44 games in his first season at the club - including strikes that won the Copa del Rey and Champions League final - has had to put up with whistles in his own stadium and a fan poll that had 40 per cent of supporters calling for him to be dropped in recent weeks. When he put Real Madrid ahead on 18 minutes in the 2-0 win over Levante on Sunday night he made sure he left off some steam, covering his ears as he ran to the corner to give the flag a celebratory kick.

It was his first goal in nine games but with 16 in 38 this season he remains on course to match last year's haul and the singling out from those jeering supporters and some Madrid-based media had clearly got to him. The only player who did not seem to share his joy was Cristiano Ronaldo. It was his failed bicycle kick that was cleared off the line and came back out for Bale to volley into the top corner. Ronaldo could be seen throwing his arms up in the air at his missed effort both before and after Bale had buried the rebound. It was hardly the action of a man playing solely for his team. The Welshman scored again five minutes before the break, diverting a Ronaldo shot past Diego Marino. Ronaldo's effort looked as if it was going wide and although Bale's touch was slight it was necessary and he was awarded the goal. Bale's first half performance will have silenced those calls for him to be left out of the Real Madrid team.

A ban on civil servants talking to journalists without prior ministerial approval will \u2018intimidate\u2019 them into silence, critics said last night. The Civil Service Code has been revised, with the threat that officials could be sacked if they speak out before checking with a minister. A line has been added to the code, saying: \u2018Ensure you have ministerial authorisation for any contact with the media.\u2019 As well as raising concerns about the transparency of government, there are fears the revision could dissuade whistleblowers from coming forward \u2013 meaning scandals could go undetected. The move, which follows a similar clampdown on members of the armed forces talking to the media, has been overseen by Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, the Head of the Home Civil Service. He has been nicknamed \u2018Sir Cover-Up\u2019 for preventing the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq War from seeing letters and records of phone calls between Tony Blair and George Bush. His influence is such that David Cameron is said to have once joked: \u2018Remind me, Jeremy, do you work for me or do I work for you?\u2019 A source at the Cabinet Office \u2013 which is in charge of the Civil Service \u2013 insisted the move was an attempt to increase ministers\u2019 accountability of civil servants in their department.

But Dave Penman of the FDA union, which represents Whitehall officials, said the move was an \u2018unnecessary, unworkable and unjustified restriction\u2019. \u2018The public has a right to open and transparent public services, yet this change now requires ministerial authorisation before a civil servant can respond or make any contact with the media \u2013 from a prosecutor being asked for comment outside of court, to a job centre manager dealing with a local news story,\u2019 he added. \u2018Guidance to regulate contact between civil servants and the media is already in place and we can see no justification for this sudden, drastic change, other than intimidating civil servants into silence \u2026 this knee-jerk decision seems to have only been made to sate unfounded and misguided ministerial mistrust.\u2019 Mark Serwotka, of the Public and Commercial Services Union, said the ban was an attempt to \u2018prevent public servants from telling the truth about government policy, by a minister who has already admitted he wants to do as much damage as possible before he steps down by making his reforms \u201cirreversible\u201d\u2019.

A drunk man who stabbed his neighbour in the chest in a row over wheelie bins has been jailed for five years. Lee Craig Richardson flew into a rage after being confronted when he kicked his neighbour's bins in anger outside his home in Whinney Banks, Middlesbrough. The 41-year-old stabbed the victim, who has not been named, just below the heart causing him to suffer a punctured lung. Richardson told police there had been a long-running feud between him and his neighbours over 'quite petty' issues and said he had initially kicked the bins because he was annoyed. The victim was left needing a blood transfusion and could have died in the attack, Teesside Crown Court was told. He was forced to spend six days in hospital to recover. Richardson admitted wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, assault by beating and possession of a bladed article on Friday and was jailed for five years. Prosecutor Emma Atkinson told the court that there had been previous disputes between Richardson and his neighbours leading up to the attack on November 11 last year. She said: 'There's been a great deal of animosity between the two parties, more recently in relation to wheelie bins.' She told the court how Richardson was drunk when he came out of his home in the early hours and kicked his neighbours' bins. He was confronted by the woman who lived next door to him and responded by kicking her in the shin, the court heard. Her partner then followed her outside to calm the commotion and was knifed in the lower chest by Richardson. The neighbour did not realise what had happened to him at first and did not see a knife. He punched Richardson to the floor before he went inside, the court heard. Ms Atkinson told the court: 'As he got into his kitchen he became acutely aware of the fact that he had in fact been stabbed.' Police were called and officers found Richardson in his living room with a cut to his temple. He was persuaded to let go of an eight-inch knife which he was holding, and another five-inch blade was found in his pocket. He told officers there had been 'quite petty' issues between the neighbours but said he could not remember exactly what happened. Robert Mochrie, defending, said: 'There is no escaping the fact that this could have ended up being a murder charge. It's perhaps the good fortune of both the complainant and the defendant that the heart wasn't touched by the blade.'

A \u00a329,000-a-year boarding school will scrap all its fees this September to become one of David Cameron's latest free schools. The Royal School Wolverhampton, whose former pupils include the Monty Python member Eric Idle, will become a state school \u2013 with no fees to attend. The boarding school was one of 49 new free schools announced by the Prime Minister yesterday as part of a major expansion of the policy which allows schools to be set up by community groups including parents, charities or teachers. An extra 500 free schools will be opened by 2020 under a Conservative government, Mr Cameron said. The Royal School Wolverhampton is the latest of several private schools to scrap fees and take state funding via the free schools programme. The most prestigious was Liverpool College, while others included William Hulme Grammar School in Manchester, Queen Elizabeth\u2019s Grammar School in Blackburn, and Chetwynde School in Barrow in Furness. Pupils at the school who don\u2019t board currently pay fees of \u00a313,230 \u2013 but this will fall to nothing from September. Families of children who board will see their fees drop to a boarding charge of between \u00a310,000 and \u00a314,000 a year. The school, in grounds of 25 acres, currently has 538 pupils, of whom 139 are boarders. As a state school it will expand to 1,200 children, with boarders dropping slightly to around 110. Free schools were introduced in 2010 to allow parents and community groups to set up their own schools. They are independent from local authorities but must still undergo Ofsted inspections. Supporters say they help to drive up standards by creating competition with existing schools, but Labour has opposed their creation in areas with a surplus of places where they are not needed. The new plan to open at least 500 of the schools by 2020 mean an extra 270,000 places. In a speech in London, Mr Cameron said: 'If you vote Conservative, you will see the continuation of the free schools programme at the rate you've seen in the last three years. 'That means, over the next parliament, we hope to open at least 500 new free schools resulting in 270,000 new school places. 'Remember - we're the only party that is committed to this. The only party that's opening up the education system so we can get more good places for your children. The Royal School Wolverhampton was one of 49 new free schools announced by the Prime Minister yesterday . 'And isn't that what every parent wants - a great education for their child? You deserve the security of knowing your child is getting just that. And with the Conservatives you should expect nothing less.' He also backed the idea of existing grammar schools.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma is cancer of the white blood cells called B lymphocytes that circulate around the lymphatic system, which is a network of vessels and glands spread throughout the body. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system. Clear fluid called lymph flows through the lymphatic vessels and contains infection-fighting white blood cells known as lymphocytes. Lymphoma causes the lymphocytes to multiply in an abnormal way and collect in certain parts of the lymphatic system, such as the lymph nodes or glands. These lymphocytes lose their infection-fighting properties, making you more vulnerable to infection. The most common symptom of HL is a painless swelling in a lymph node, usually in the neck, armpit or groin. It usually affects young adults aged between 15 and 35 and adults over the age of 50. Almost all young people with HL will be fully cured. For older people over the age of 50, the cure rate is around 75 per cent to 80 per cent. Treatment depends on the extent of the cancer and will usually involve a combination of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and drugs including steroids. Several other states recognize the 'mature minor doctrine', but the court said she did not understand the severity of her condition. She will have to wait until she turns 18 in September before she can make her own medical decisions.

+{"article": "While interstellar space travel is still in the realm of science fiction, scientists say that if an alien ship came within range of Earth at near light speed, we would be able to detect it. This is according to a pair of defence engineers who say that any spacecraft travelling that fast would leave distinct light signatures in its wake. But their study also reveals the tricky physics of travelling at near light speeds, calculating that a collision with single dust grain would release energy equal to 5291lbs (2,400kg) of exploding TNT. A pair of defence engineers say that any spacecraft travelling close to the speed of light would leave light signatures in its wake because it would interact with the cosmic microwave background (pictured). The panels show how scientists predict the CMB signature would change as the spacecraft increases speed . California-based Raytheon engineers Ulvi Yurtsever and Steven Wilkinson claim that spaceships travelling at near light speeds would interact with the cosmic microwave background (CMB). CMB is the light left over from the earliest moments of creation that has been stretched across the entire cosmos as the universe expanded. A fast-moving spacecraft would collide with cosmic microwave photons, say the engineers, creating highly gamma rays, according to a report inMIT Technology Review. Raytheon engineers suggest that spaceships travelling at near light speeds would interact with the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Pictured is a Narn spacecraft from Babylon 5 . The researchers have estimated that each cubic centimetre of space contains over 400 microwave photons. This means a spaceship would collide with thousands of billions of photons every second creating something known as electron-positron pairs. Each of these pairs would cause drag on a spaceship. 'Assuming an effective cross-sectional area of say 100 square meters, the dissipative effect is about two million Joules per second,' said Yurtsever and Wilkinson in their study. There may be many things we don't understand about the universe, but one thing we can be certain of is that the speed of light cannot be exceeded. Right? Not necessarily, according to one scientist. He claims that a certain effect may be capable of producing the illusion that 'spots' of light travel faster than lightspeed. And his research says that when this occurs, the spots produce a phenomenon known as a 'photonic boom'. The controversial study was carried out by physics professor Dr Robert Nemiroff from Michigan Tech University, and he recently presented his research at the 225th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle. He claims that if you shine a powerful enough laser pointer on the moon from Earth and sweep it across the surface, the 'spot of light' could appear to move faster than the speed of light. This is because, in this hypothetical scenario, if another person standing on a moon attempted to shine a light across the moon at the same time, it would take longer.

At 24, he was a self- confessed party animal who drank too much, while eating and sleeping too little. One day he felt his brain flickering and tingling inside his head and he became overwhelmed by a feeling of intense panic as well as the desire to end his life.

The word is easy to reach for when feeling vaguely down or perhaps when we\u2019ve become sad for a very good reason \u2014 such as a recent bereavement or the loss of a job. Or when the stress of work or moving house is so great that you can\u2019t sleep \u2014 or get up in the morning. Yet real clinical depression should not be confused with such other faces of gloom. In this short, scintillating, first-hand account of depression and how he combated it, novelist Haig leaves us in no doubt as to the true, terrifying nature of the beast. Writing 13 years after suddenly being struck down by \u2018a new claustrophobic and suffering reality\u2019, Haig provides enough detail about the symptoms of depression to deter anyone from taking the name of this cruel condition in vain. Sadness is not a sickness \u2014 but depression most certainly is. Suicide kills more people than stomach cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, colon cancer, breast cancer or Alzheimer\u2019s, according to World Health Organisation figures. Haig takes this a step further: \u2018As people who kill themselves are, more often than not, depressives, depression is one of the deadliest diseases on the planet. \u2018It kills more people than most other forms of violence \u2014 warfare, terrorism, domestic abuse, assault, gun crime \u2014 put together.\u2019 Again and again he finds fresh ways of letting the reader know exactly how bad depression is: \u2018At its worst you find yourself wishing, desperately, for any other affliction, and physical pain, because the mind is infinite, and its torments \u2014 when they happen \u2014 can be equally infinite.\u2019 One of his most valuable points he makes is that depression can strike down any sort of person. Haig is highly educated, comes from a very happy background, has devoted parents and was already lucky enough to be in a stable relationship with the wonderful Andrea that has proved a lifesaver. He wants us to understand that (a) depression is widespread and (b) anyone can be struck down. \u2018Millionaires, people with good hair, happily married people . . . people who exude happiness in their status updates, who seem, from the outside, to have no reason to be miserable.\u2019 Haig gives plenty of \u2018reasons", "summary": "At 24 Matt Haig's life changed when he developed clinical depression .

A six-year-old schoolgirl who has to wear an eye patch due to severe visual problems was left in tears after a teacher called her 'pirate girl' when he couldn't remember her name. Alicia Blanco-Clements was standing in the wrong queue to leave the packed assembly hall at Springfield Primary School in Chelmsford, Essex, when Jona Davies made the comment. Her older sister Olivia, 11, spotted her sister in the wrong place before hearing their deputy head teacher call her 'pirate girl' as he tried to attract her attention in front of the school last Wednesday. She said the ordeal was the talk of the school and that students from different classes were talking about what Mr Davies, 44, had said to her little sister. He allegedly sought out Olivia, a Year 6 pupil, in the playground to explain his actions - but he didn't apologise to Alicia directly. She said: 'My sister was queuing in the wrong place and that\u2019s when Mr Davies called her \"pirate girl\". He forgot her name and so he was trying to get her attention.' That evening, Olivia explained to her mother Aimee, 30, a midwife at Queen's Hospital in Romford, what had happened. Mrs Blanco-Clements said: 'I was absolutely horrified. Alicia is normally smiling from ear to ear when I pick her up from school but on Wednesday she was really solemn and I could tell she was upset. 'It was only when my other daughter Olivia told me what had happened that I went marching into the school to confront him. 'I couldn't believe that someone with such authority could be so ignorant and insensitive. We spoke but he didn't seem sincere.' Alicia has suffered from an impairment in her left eye since she was two and is also extremely short sighted and is only able to see about a metre in front of her due to the condition termed 'lazy eye'. The patch, which she wears for six hours a day, helps to maintain the 20/20 vision in her right eye. Jona Davies allegedly called the six-year-old 'pirate girl' after forgetting her name and trying to get her attention as she was in the wrong queue after assembly . Specialists at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, have warned the family that if the eye has not improved by the time Alicia is eight-years-old, she will be 'stuck' with that level of vision for the rest of her life. Mrs Blanco-Clements, who also has an 18-month-old son named Teddy, added: 'Alicia is so, so, vulnerable because of her eye patch. It has made her very self conscious and timid anyway. 'So to have that comment said in front of the whole school was the worst thing imaginable. It could make life so much harder for her - she said \"mummy, it's made me feel scared and sad\". The childhood condition amblyopia, or more commonly known as a 'lazy eye', occurs when the vision in an eye doesn't develop properly.

The suspect was named by police as Tatsuhiko Hirano, an unemployed man reportedly described as a 'hikikomori' - or social misfit. Police found the bloodied bodies of a man and a woman, both aged around 80, in the main house on the site on the quiet island of Awajishima . Two unconscious women, aged around 60 and 80, were discovered in another building, while a badly wounded man in his 60s was found outside. All three were rushed to hospital and were later confirmed dead, police said. Massacre in rural Japan: Detectives comb the scene in Sumoto city on the Japanese island of Awajishima where five pensioners were stabbed to death by a neighbour who has reportedly confessed to the killings . The alarm was raised by a 32-year-old woman who rang police to say her parents had been stabbed. The 40-year-old suspect is being quizzed by detectives, but the motive was unclear and police have yet to find the weapon used in the attacks. Local media said Hirano's clothes were spattered with blood and that he had admitted to the multiple killing. A Twitter account that appeared to be run by the suspect had been used over the past month. Tweets included one with the address of the homicides and a map of the scene. Other tweets appeared to be about telepathy and stalking. The attacks happened in Sumoto, a small city on an island in western Japan, said deputy police chief Keizo Okumoto.

+{"article": "A balloon carrying sensors designed to detect the faint traces left by alien life on other planets has been sent on a mission high into the Earth's atmosphere. The Planetary Atmospheres Minor Species Sensor (PAMSS) spent more than an hour at 105,000 feet above the Earth's surface taking measurements before parachuting safely back to the ground. The experimental sensor, developed by researchers at Nasa and the University of Central Florida, was being tested ahead of plans to send the device to other planets. The high altitude balloon above carried the new highly sensitive instrument 19.8 miles into the atmosphere . Capable of detecting traces of gas at parts per trillion - far more sensitive from current technologies - it could reveal the existence of life on other planets. Even low levels of methane on a planet could indicate that there is life there breaking down organic material. The PAMSS sensor is launched into the air beneath a high-altitude balloon from Tucson, Arizona . Professor Robert Peale, a physicist at the University of Central Florida who is leading the project, said: 'Our sensor has the potential to detect specific gases at extremely low concentrations. 'Metabolic byproducts of life include characteristic gases like methane, which on Mars would be a very low concentrations.' Professor Peale and his team launched their sensor, which uses an infrared laser the size of a grain of salt, on a high altitude balloon from Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday. The toaster-sized device uses a technique known as 'intracavity laser absorption spectrometry' to detect small amounts of gas. Most atmospheric probes used to day are unable to measure the concentration of trace vapours or gases. However, Nasa hopes that by using the PAMSS they may be able to detect small amounts of methane on other worlds like Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus. Low levels of methane have already been detected on Mars with hot spots where levels are thought to spike. Scientists now want to explore these more closely in the hope that here may still be life existing somewhere beneath the surface. The test on the balloon was designed to show that the PAMSS could function in the extreme cold and low pressures of near space. In the stratosphere temperatures fall as low as -75\u00b0F (-59\u00b0C). Scientists claim to have discovered evidence that suggests there may be alien life living high up in our own atmosphere. Researchers from the University of Sheffield and Buckingham University claim to have gathered samples that show microscopic organisms are living 16 miles up in the stratosphere. Using a high-altitude balloon, they gathered samples of dust and other microscopic debris high above the Earth's surface and say they found fragments of single celled algae known as a diatom. They argue that this could be the first evidence to show how life may have arrived on Earth from space, perhaps carried here by meteorites. It is not the first time organisms have been found in the atmosphere and indeed the skies are thought to be teeming with microscopic life.

At a news conference in Egypt, where he attended an economic discussion, Kerry also said a U.S. decision would come shortly on unblocking hundreds of millions in suspended military assistance for the Egyptian government. Three days before Israel's election, America's top diplomat expressed hope that any government voted into power 'meets the hopes for peace' in the Middle East. Scroll down for video . U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry speaks at a news conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt on Saturday. He said he's returning to nuclear negotiations with Iran with 'important gaps' standing in the way of a deal . But on the Obama administration's most important foreign policy priority - talks with Iran to curb its nuclear program - Kerry was circumspect. He said only a negotiated agreement could provide long-term assurance that Tehran would not develop nuclear weapons. But with a deadline just two weeks away, he could not say whether the United States and other world powers would be able to reach a framework accord with the Iranians or even were close. 'We have made some progress but there are still gaps, important gaps, and important choices that need to be made by Iran in order to move forward,' Kerry told reporters in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. 'The purpose of these negotiations is not just to get any deal,' he said. 'It is to get the right deal.' Speaking after a week of U.S. political fighting over the diplomatic outreach to Iran, Kerry lambasted Senate Republicans who signed an open letter to Iran's leaders suggesting any deal they reach with the administration could expire the day President Barack Obama leaves office. Such tactics, which Kerry called unprecedented, will inevitably raise questions among Iran and America's allies in the talks, he said. He said that in order to provide long-term assurance that Tehran would not develop nuclear weapons, more negotiations need to occur . The conflict between the administration and mainly Republicans in Congress has emerged as among the tensest subplots to the diplomatic effort. Because U.S. lawmakers can block the lifting of some penalties against Iran and potentially pass additional trade or financial restrictions, they hold the power to undermine an accord. They are pressing for at least a say in whether any deal the U.S. and its partners reach is acceptable. Negotiators are talking about freezing Iran's uranium and plutonium programs for at least a decade in exchange for a gradual easing of economic pressure on the Iranians. Many in Congress say the U.S. should hold out for greater dismantlement of Iran's nuclear infrastructure.

It\u2019s a complete waste of time and energy, but for many of us it\u2019s a lifetime\u2019s work to get shot of it. I think I\u2019ve lost most of mine, but I still have a little spare if you\u2019re running short. At the same time, the real villains of the piece, the people who really should feel shame for what they have done and continue to do, feel none at all. Jimmy Savile was shameless. I know a few bankers, and I don\u2019t know one who feels anything but delight that he and his kind have got away with it. So this is an important subject, and a fascinating one. Two new books consider shame from different points of view. Jon Ronson is a journalist and broadcaster who has built up something of a reputation writing about extremely odd people. For this book, however, he has spoken to normal people who found themselves in distinctly abnormal situations. For these are people who have been shamed, publicly, humiliatingly, horribly. Sometimes what they have done is pretty bad; sometimes what they have done is nothing much at all. But in each case, the judgment of the mob has been merciless. In his book, Jon Ronson insists that there is potential in everyone for this merciless judgment (stock image) Take the case of Justine Sacco, a young New York PR who tweeted this: \u2018Going to Africa. Hope I don\u2019t get Aids. Just kidding. I\u2019m white!\u2019 As jokes go, it\u2019s definitely at the bad taste end of the spectrum, and it\u2019s not one I\u2019d make. But the point is: it was a joke. One of Justine\u2019s 130 followers on Twitter retweeted this, then others re-re-retweeted it. When she landed at Cape Town airport, there was a text from her best friend. \u2018You need to call me immediately. You\u2019re the number one worldwide trend on Twitter right now.\u2019 The abuse was astonishing. \u2018All I want for Christmas is to see @Justine Sacco\u2019s face when her plane lands and she checks her inbox/voicemail.\u2019 \u2018We are about to watch this @Justine Sacco b**** get fired. In REAL time. Before she even KNOWS she\u2019s getting fired.\u2019 And worse, much much worse. A man was waiting at the airport, took a photo of her and posted it online. Newspapers ran stories on her. She had to cut short her holiday because hotel staff were threatening to go on strike if she showed up. She was fired from her job and no one else would hire her to do anything. Her life was ruined over a bad joke. Ronson tells this terrible story in his deadpan way, his sympathies clearly with the victim. But he admits that he too has been part of a Twitter mob monstering some poor fool who had done something he didn\u2019t approve of. This is what public shaming amounts to these days.

Because a study has found that women are more attracted to men who display heroic traits such as war heroes, successful sportsmen and firemen. However, the study found the opposite wasn't true, and men did not find heroism to be a sexually attractive trait in women. Phwoar: A Study by the University of Southampton says women prefer war heroes. They are also attracted to other heroic professions like being a fireman. However, men prefer women to not be in a heroic profession. 'Only males seem to benefit from displaying heroism,' said Dr Leunissen from the university . The study was carried out by the University of Southampton and published in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour. In the research 92 women studying in the UK were presented with hypothetical profiles of the opposite sex, representing varying levels of heroism in different contexts such as warfare, sport and business. They were then asked a series of questions designed to determine how attracted they were to the different profiles. Women were more likely to find a soldier attractive, and were more inclined to date him, if he had been awarded a medal for bravery in combat. Ladies should behave like men if they want to work in male-dominated industries, according to a controversial study. Research by Professor Ann Marie Ryan, a psychologist at Michigan State University, suggests recruiters prefer more masculine traits to those commonly associated with women. She asked women to apply for leadership roles in male-dominated industries such as engineering in front of a panel of volunteers asked to evaluate the candidates' suitability. Some of the women were asked to emphasise 'masculine-like' traits such as assertiveness, independence and raw ambition. Others were asked to display more 'feminine traits' - warmth, supportiveness and a nurturing nature. The panel, irrespective of the gender of those sitting on it, decided that leadership required more dominant and assertive traits to be shown during the interview process. But whether or not a non-decorated soldier had seen combat in a warzone or remained in the UK did not have a statistically significant effect on his attractiveness. Displays of heroism in other fields, such as in sports or in business, also had no effect on how likely women were to find them attractive. In a subsequent experiment by the researchers, 159 women and 181 men studying in Holland took part in a similar exercise to determine their level of sexual attraction to the opposite sex. This time, the soldier profiles displayed various levels of bravery, either in combat or by helping in a natural disaster zone. Again, heroism in combat increased women's levels of sexual attraction towards male soldiers, but heroism in a disaster zone had no impact. Female heroes, both in combat and in disaster zones, were deemed less attractive by men than their non-hero counterparts.

The video, captured by BBC Earth Unplugged, reveals how the tongue reaches around 41G - is four times faster than the maximum acceleration of a fighter jet. The creatures have a bone in the base of their tongue which fixes the powerful muscles, along with special tissue that effectively works as a spring. When a muscle called the long accelerator contracts, the retractor muscles relaxes. This causes other muscles to press against collagen springs, giving it incredible power and speed.

One man with a with a small member (only four inches erect) recently blogged about the perils of having a tiny todger - and his post went viral. Here, writer Ant Smith, a 47-year-old engineering manager from London, explains why he decided to share his vital statistics and explains what it's like to be a few inches short. 'Last year I wrote a poem and blog post about penis size anxiety. It was painfully autobiographical, but the harder it was to write, the more important it seemed to be. 'I'm 48 now, and I've been struggling with this anxiety for decades, even though I'm very happily married. 'Men have a great capacity for emotional deniability. As long as we're not confronted with our vulnerabilities we can pretend they don't exist. 'It was a drunken evening talking to a new, but good friend, when somehow or other the question of size came up and I admitted I had such worries. 'I was very drunk, and just couldn't face lying once again. To my surprise, he said he did too. A comrade in arms I thought, as we sheepishly swapped statistics - he went first and admitted to only possessing 6\". I told him I had 4, and his relief was palpable. 'Telling this truth was truly liberating, and being able to reassure my friend was rewarding. This is when I realised how pervasive, and pointless, size anxiety is. I realised my own perspective could help many others too. 'So I published the blog in the hope that if more smaller guys were open and honest we could establish a more realistic view of what average is - rather than only ever seeing the behemoths that porn and advertising presents to us. Ant says men should be more open and honest to establish a more realistic view of what average is . 'For the next few months I performed the poem at various venues around London. There was always at least one warm handshake afterwards from a guy who seemed particularly glad that I'd openly discussed the question of size, from my perspective. 'Then in September last year the world's media took notice and I found myself giving interviews around the globe. It seems like I'd found some kind of magic formula. A way of talking about the issue that was neither too puerile nor too painful. Suddenly everyone was talking about my small, but perfectly functioning, willy! 'And I was personally responding to thousands of men (by Twitter and e-mail). So much so that it became impossible to keep up. I felt tremendously proud to have achieved this through poetry, to be able to make poetry relevant in the mainstream.

France should stop blocking English phrases from entering their language and embrace new words from other nations, the country's culture minister has said. Fleur Pellerin, who was born in South Korea and also speaks fluent English and German, says the French language is not frozen and that the country should be thankful for English words 'enriching' their lexicon. The government's stance marks a dramatic break from France's previous rigid defence of its language, especially from English words entering it. Miss Pellerin said: 'The French language is not frozen. A language is always evolving. 'Some languages - like English today, or Italian in the past - have been particularly generous in offering hundreds of new words to French. 'French is not in danger and my responsibility as minister is not to erect ineffective barriers against languages but to give all our citizens the means to make it live on.' Current French legislation states that all public advertising is in French or at least includes a translation of non-French terms. There was also a campaign to stop terms such as 'e-mail' 'challenge' and 'marketing' from creeping into the French language. But many French linguists have welcomed the minister's comments. Alain Rey, author of a dictionary on the history of French and a member of a Commission on French Terminology, said attempts to stop the adoption of some commonly used words were ridiculous. He pointed out that the word 'challenge', for instance, in fact originally came from Old French ('chalonge') before being taken up in English.

Last month's ceremony for the marriage of Matilda McGinley, 17, and Jimmy O'Connor, 16, was delayed for a short period after the shooting but still went ahead. William McGinley from County Longford, Ireland, appears at Omagh Court charged with the murder of great-uncle Bernard McGinley . The accused's father, Patrick McGinley, 46, has already appeared in court charged with the murder of the 63-year-old grandfather from County Longford in the Irish Republic who was shot in the chest in front of his wife, Brigid. William McGinley, who has been remanded in custody, is also charged with the attempted murder of the dead man's son. Victim: Barney McGinley, 63, was shot dead outside a church in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland . Bernard McGinley Jnr was injured in the same incident which took place outside St Mary's Catholic Church in the village of Newtownbutler- just before the bride was due to walk down the isle. The defendant, who is a cousin of the bride, appeared at Omagh Magistrates' Court wearing a grey fleece over a white T-shirt. William McGinley, who, like his father, is from Lisfarrell, Edgeworthstown, County Longford, spoke only to confirm his name and that he understood the charges he faces during the short hearing. McGinley's lawyer, Seamus Leonard, said his client denied involvement. 'This man has consistently denied any criminality,' he said, stressing that he had provided police with a 'full account' of what happened. Mr Leonard said it was not alleged that William McGinley fired the shot that killed Bernard McGinley. 'But it is alleged he fired the shot which attempted to murder Bernard McGinley Jnr,' he added. McGinley was remanded in custody to appear in court in Enniskillen, via video-link, alongside his father on March 16. Father Michael King said the wedding party had asked him for the service to take place as planned.

He explained: 'They said 'father, we would like you to proceed with the wedding', so I proceeded with the wedding. They spent at least half an hour inside the church at the end taking photographs.' The victim was flown to hospital from Lisnaskea in a police helicopter but died later. Tributes were later paid to him. Cousin Willie McGinley said on Facebook: 'R.I.P. Uncle Barney.

But he insists he is ready to battle for his World Cup starting place and is also determined to inject some much-needed confidence into club-side Harlequins' stuttering season. Twelve months ago Brown concluded a Six Nations campaign that ended with an identical result, a second place in the table behind Joe Schmidt's Ireland.

This time around, there were no personal accolades to dull the disappointment of a fourth consecutive runners-up place. However, Brown believes the manner of England's memorable 55-35 victory over France is a reason to be optimistic ahead of this autumn's Rugby World Cup. But he refutes suggestions by RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie that another second place was 'unacceptable'. 'I haven't done too much reflecting but it's massively disappointing to end the way that we did,' said Brown, speaking at the Rosslyn Park HSBC National Schools Sevens - the world's largest schools rugby tournament. 'It was great how we went about the game and how we won but it's disappointing that we didn't achieve our goal of winning it. It's the fourth time I've been involved where I've come second but luckily I don't get bitter. Brown was disappointed with how the Six Nations ended, but says there were positives to take . 'We'll keep going as a squad, keep using things like this to develop us. There are still positives to take out of it and we have to look at the bigger picture.' The free-scoring, free-flowing nature of last weekend's classic at Twickenham was compared by many to a rugby league game. Brown is an admitted fan of the 13-man code and Quins famously released a statement titled 'Brown stays with rugby' when he briefly flirted with a switch. However, Brown believes he has done enough in recent weeks to cement his place as Stuart Lancaster's first choice full-back, ahead of rival Alex Goode, who deputised when he missed the defeat in Dublin after picking up a head injury early in the win over Italy. 'I was very happy with my tournament. When I actually played, I thought I did well,' added Brown, who was casting his eye over the next generation of stars at Rosslyn Park \u2013 an event that has previously produced the likes of Gareth Edwards, Lawrence Dallaglio, Will Carling, and Ugo Monye.

The bicycles on ice skates were an immediate hit when they glided onto the Ice at Canalside the day the new rink opened on the city's waterfront. Since that December day, the bundled riders who have ignored breath-taking cold to rent them have convinced inventor Lisa Florczak that she's onto something. That, and the inquiries from several other cold-weather cities in Wyoming, Michigan, Minnesota and Canada interested in rolling them out next year. Scroll down for video . Lisa Florczak (pictured) came up with her version of the ice bike after seeing on the Internet that the contraptions were used in Beijing . 'I had no idea if this would work or how people would respond,' Ms Florczak said on a recent afternoon as some Parkinson's patients tested the bikes for their exercise potential. 'I thought I might end up being the laughingstock of the city.' Instead, she is relishing being part of Buffalo's efforts to revitalize its waterfront and draw people year-round, even when the Lake Erie breeze is something more endured than enjoyed. The bikes give even nonskaters a chance to try out the ice, along with the warm nuts, hot cocoa and craft beer sold at nearby kiosks. Florczak's family business, Water Bikes of Buffalo, rented pontoon bikes that let riders pedal the Buffalo River in warmer months. Then economic development officials put out a call for ideas for the 33,000-square-foot ice rink being built nearby on a recreation of the Erie Canal. 'They said the ice is going to be pretty large, and they thought they might need something more than just skating,' Ms Florczak said. Curling, hockey and broomball leagues emerged. 'I thought: `What a perfect opportunity to go from water biking to ice biking,' Ms Florczak said. The 26-inch bikes work with a dull blade in the front and a rectangular base attached to an ordinary bike frame . The inventor had looked up 'things to do on ice' on the Internet and saw that bikes that ride on ice were already being used in Beijing, she told The Boston Globe. She bought a bike off the rack at Wal-Mart and worked with General Welding and Fabricating in Elma on a design. The bikes had to be sturdy, not tip and co-exist with ice skaters. Prototype testing showed that sharper blades, like on ice skates, were too fast, as were flat blades that worked like a ski. The finished product is a 26-inch bike that sits on a rectangular base with a duller blade replacing the front wheel. While originally scared that the bikes would damage the ice, Ms Florczak told The Buffalo News 'The rink guards said they did as much to the ice as a 5-year-old would do while ice skating.' Stainless steel so they don't rust in the snow, the contraptions ride like a regular bicycle, only without the need to balance.

+{"article": "One man alone is not going to save English cricket. The Kevin Pietersen storyline is a good'un, full of rage, intrigue and hypocrisy. But the longer it goes on, the less we will be inclined to analyse what really ails our game. England will not win or lose the Ashes on the basis of whether Pietersen returns. There aren't, after all, many examples of Test series being won by a single player: Harold Larwood needed Bill Voce during Bodyline, Ian Botham needed Bob Willis in 1981, Mitchell Johnson needed Brad Haddin in 2013-14. And a 35-year-old Pietersen is unlikely to be in any of those categories. If he does return, we may \u2013 briefly \u2013 get more people talking about cricket; he may produce some magic to belie his age; critics of Paul Downton may feel vindicated; it will almost certainly be a whole lot of fun. Kevin Pietersen shows off his latest flamboyant hairstyle on his way to the Fox Sports studio on Tuesday . That's the best-case scenario. But let's not pretend it would solve much. English cricket has always presided over a deeply imperfect system, one hampered by a fear of revolution. Occasionally we commission a serious report, which makes us feel progress is being made. But entertaining diversions are just as crucial to the psyche of the English cricket lover: they mean we can go easy on the self-analysis. From WG\u2019s gamesmanship via Compton\u2019s knee through to Botham\u2019s extra-curriculars and KP\u2019s tweets, our game has always quietly welcomed the glamorous, scurrilous sideshow, the tabloid tittle-tattle to balance out broadsheet sobriety. Yet if the game is reduced over the coming months to a string of will-he-won\u2019t-he bulletins about the future of a player who has, at best, two years left at the highest level, then we will be doing the game a disservice. (I hope Pietersen proves me wrong. If he returns to international cricket, I hope he scores lots more Test hundreds and gives us all something to cheer about. The point of this article is not to pick on Pietersen.) Pietersen is gunning for an England recall after his exile from the side, but turns 35 in the summer . The batsman has enjoyed some stellar achievements with England, such as here after the 2005 Ashes win . Pietersen's antics entertain the public just as Ian Botham's extra-curricular activities once did. Here the all-rounder was pictured dressed as a rabbit next to team-mate Phil deFreitas in Melbourne in 1986 . What should concern English cricket right now is how one of the best-resourced teams in the world spent the World Cup looking like one of the worst; how an air of fatalism about their chances became a self-fulfilling prophecy; and how Downton appeared so intensely relaxed about the fact that England were miles off the pace. In fact, batting was not even the half of their problems \u2013 another reason why the Pietersen debate risks straying into red-herring territory.

I had feared craggy paths at the summit, precariously winding round the mountain, but found gentle, undulating trails. There was a restaurant, playground, park and fountain. It was as family friendly as the nursery department at John Lewis. Families and groups were starting out or finishing walks, with children in backpacks and buggies, or just jogging alongside their parents, perfectly content without a gadget in sight. Some were Nordic walking, others speed hiking. Would this sort of family outing happen back home? Not likely and what a shame. The views were awesome and the air so pure I took in great gulps in the hope it might benefit my London-worn lungs. We could have easily taken a different trail each day of the week.

At one hilltop restaurant, deckchairs overlooked the spectacular view like a sort of mountain beach, and children played on swings.

+{"article": "Scandal: D.E. Paulk discovered his father was actually his uncle, the Archbishop of one of America's biggest 'mega-churches', when he was 34 . A mega-church pastor who discovered at the age of 34 that his Archbishop uncle was actually his father has revealed how he found peace: by founding a 'radically inclusive' church that recognises Mohammed as well as Christ. D.E. Paulk, 42, was brought up in the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit at Chapel Hill. Once the fourth biggest 'mega-church' in the United States, it occupied a purpose-built, $12million building with 7,000 seats, and boasted 12,000 members at its peak in the early Nineties. But a series of sex scandals and financial difficulties brought the church established by D.E.'s parents and uncle to its knees. Speaking to CNN, D.E. has revealed how it was the family's ultimate scandal - the fact his Archbishop uncle was his biological father - which finally gave him the strength to create a church based around his own beliefs. The Spirit and Truth Sanctuary, which D.E founded in 2012, welcomes everyone from Wiccans to atheists, Hindus to Muslims, recognising all gods and prophets, including Mohammed. '[Scandal] has a way of wiping out the things that keep you from being authentic,' he said. 'All you have left is who you are. The games are gone... If there was anything I wanted to say I thought would be unacceptable to the church, now is the time to say it.' After much soul searching, D.E. established his church based around one principle: 'Christ cannot be, and will not be, restricted to Christianity'. He preaches a message of inclusion, and tells his congregation 'the truth' is not limited to the Bible, but can be found in all creation - even other religions. This message has been controversial, however, and many of his former followers have abandoned him. Scroll down for video . Success: Archbishop Earl Paulk, left, was D.E.'s biological father, while his brother, Donnie, right, acted as his father until he was 34. The two brothers set up the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit at Chapel Hill with Donnie's wife Clariece in 1960, creating one of the first churches to welcome people of all colours . Heir: D.E., the family's only son, pictured leading a service, was always intended to take over the church, but became disillusioned with the institution when he discovered the truth about his parentage . It is likely this particular philosophy would have horrified his uncle, a tyrannical figure who led the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit from its inception in 1960. Set up with his brother Donnie and his wife Clariece, Holy Spirit was one of the first churches to accept both African Americans and whites worshipping together, and at one point was attracting 100 new members a week. It would grow to be the fourth largest church in America, recognised by then-president George Bush for its volunteering work in 1982. By 1991, the church had 12,000 members, and a cathedral with a 245-foot steeple. Its pastors had acted like minor celebrities, travelling by", "summary": "D.E.

Every time I see him play live, it is a privilege. I try to make sure the memories are burned into my consciousness. He is the kind of player who lifts the spirit with everything he does. He is a quite prodigious goalscorer, a wizard of a dribbler and a provider for others. And yes, he was mesmerising against Manchester City at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night. The way he nutmegged James Milner, the way he turned Bacary Sagna before Joe Hart saved from him at point-blank range, the caressed curling ball to Ivan Rakitic for the Barcelona winner. It was all magical. It is normal for people to want to believe that what they are witnessing has never been matched before. \u2018Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home,\u2019 said Arsene Wenger once, and now everybody believes there has never been a footballer as pretty as Messi. Lionel Messi showcases his magnificent ball control with an audacious nutmeg of James Milner . Messi renders Bacary Sagna to the status of an open-mouthed ball-watcher during another masterclass . Messi awaits the ball as he inspired the Catalan club to reach another Champions Leauge last eight . Messi forces his way past Aleksandar Kolarov and Fernandinho during Barcelona's cruise against City . What saddens me about the relentless championing of Messi, though, is that the idea there has never been anyone to match him has become such an aggressive orthodoxy. Any dissent is met with untrammelled scorn and dismissive disbelief. It is as though Messi has become a god and the idea that he might have a rival is sacrilege. As a football fan, I worship Messi, too, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s the best there\u2019s ever been. It\u2019s too early for that. He\u2019s only 27 but he has not yet achieved what many of the other greats of the game achieved, either for club or country. A graphic circulated on social media recently that showed all the records Messi had broken. La Liga top goal-scorer, Barcelona top goalscorer, Champions League top goalscorer. The list goes on. It\u2019s breathtaking. But individual stats are not everything. Sport, ultimately, is about winning things. If you are a great individual player, there is a wider test of greatness in inspiring your team to win trophies. In the argument about football\u2019s best ever, Messi is vulnerable here. Pele, for instance, scored 1,000 goals in his career. But the test of his greatness was that he won the World Cup three times with Brazil. Three times over a 12-year span. It might have been four if he had not been hacked out of the 1966 tournament. Messi has never been able to lift Argentina to a World Cup victory as Diego Maradona, another rival for the \u2018best ever\u2019, did in 1986.

The former U.S. Army General will plead guilty to one felony count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material, according to documents filed in Charlotte, North Carolina. The plea deal, which Petraeus signed on February 22, shows the government has agreed to recommend no prison time but will enforce a sentence of two years probation and a $40,000 fine. A judge, who is not bound by the recommendation, will make the final decision. The charge carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison, a $100,000 fine and five years of probation. No immediate date has been set for Petraeus to enter the plea. By striking the deal, he avoids an embarrassing trial that would detail his relationship with Paula Broadwell. He stepped down as head of the CIA after their affair emerged in November 2012. Scroll down for video . Affair: Former CIA chief David Petraeus will plead guilty to a charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified information after he handed over sensitive material to his mistress, Paula Broadwell, right . Documents filed in federal court state that between August 2011 and April 5, 2013, Petraeus did 'unlawfully and knowingly' take classified materials and retain them at 'unauthorized' locations. Prosecutors say that while Broadwell was writing Petraeus' biography, he gave her binders of the classified materials that included notes about his discussions with President Obama. The binders, known as 'black books,' were seized by the FBI in a search of Petraeus' home. He lied to FBI agents about providing them to Broadwell and said he never gave her classified material, according to court documents. In late August 2011, he took the books to the home where Broadwell was staying during a week-long trip to Washington, D.C., according to the documents. He left the books with her so she could use them as source material for the biography, prosecutors said. Days later, Petraeus brought the books back to his home in Arlington, Virginia. An attorney for Petraeus, Robert Barnett, said he had no immediate comment. Petraeus, a four-star general who served as commander of the U.S. Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, resigned from the CIA in 2012 when the affair emerged but always denied criminal wrongdoing. Broadwell, now 42, met Petraeus, 62, while she was a graduate student at Harvard University, where she was working on a dissertation about him. She wrote his biography, 'All In: The Education of General David Petraeus', which afforded them considerable time together. They carried on an affair between late 2011 and the summer of 2012.

Criminal proceedings were being prepared, but two months later an officer was called in by a senior Metropolitan Police officer and told to drop the case, it is alleged.

Dr Halnon, who taught sociology at Pennsylvania State University Abington, said she used the moment to protest 'US military global domination,' and claimed the country was responsible for giving her hero Hugo Chavez cancer. A spokesperson for PSU Abington said that Prof Hanlon was still employed, but 'no longer in the classroom'. Scroll down for video . Dr Karen Halnon, left in her police mugshot and right in a faculty photo, is now longer teaching at Pennsylvania State University Abington after she was filmed smoking and ranting about the US on a plane in Miami . She was arrested for disorderly conduct and breach of peace. The university's investigation into the incident is ongoing, according to the Allentown Morning Call. She has taught at the institution since 1999, first as an assistant professor and most recently as an associate professor. According to her faculty page, she is an expert on capitalism, Latin America and 'mad women'. Dr Halnon has said that her statement was political and necessary after 'the US declared war on Venezuela'. 'I had to speak out now,' she told Philadelphia Magazine after returning home from her research in Central America. 'The situation is dire and urgent.'

The professor alleged she was not allowed to go to the bathroom and had to wet her pants. She said she also defecated on the floor and was forced to pick it up while being 'laughed at'. A number of passengers around Halnon became angered after she lit up on the plane. The professor said the act was a 'symbol'. 'Every revolutionary I know smokes,' she said. 'It was identifying with the revolutionary cause. 'Beyond that, it is a symbol that the United States is a smoking gun.' When fellow passengers flagged down a flight attendant to complain about her unruly behavior, Halnon blamed someone else for smoking and went on a rant, saying the US had 'declared war on Venezuela' According to an eyewitness, she also allegedly said that Obama 'kills people on Tuesdays'.

+{"article": "A fearsome nine-foot-long crocodile that hunted by running on its hind legs was one of the world's top predators before the arrival of the dinosaurs. Carnufex carolinensis, which means 'Carolina Butcher' due to its ferocious appearance, was an early ancestor of modern crocodiles. Paleontologists believe it roamed the warm, wet rainforests of what is now North Carolina around 231 million years ago, preying upon small armoured reptiles and early mammals with its powerful jaws. Carnufex carolinensis, shown in the artists impression above, would have chased down prey on its hind legs and probably crunched its way though small armoured reptiles and early mammals with its long powerful jaws . Researchers discovered fossilised parts of the ferocious crocodilian's skull, spine and forelimbs in a rock formation in Chatham County, close to Sanford, North Carolina. Dr Lindsay Zanno, assistant research professor at North Carolina State University and director of the palaeontology lab at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, said the fossil could help provide new clues about the evolution of crocodiles. Name: Carnufex carolinensis . Meaning: Carolina Butcher. Carnufex is Latin for Butcher while Carolina refers to the state of North Carolina where the fossil was found. Age: The reptile lived 231 million years ago . Distinctive features: It had a long slender skull with a bony boss running from side to side. Its fore limbs were short and it probably ran on its larger hind limbs. Skeleton location: It was found in Chatham County, North Carolina. Importance: The fossil will help scientists unravel the evolution of early crocodiles. Running on its hind legs, Carnufex would have been the top predator in the area during the Triassic period. She said: 'Fossils from this time period are extremely important to scientists because they record the earliest appearance of crocodylomorphs and theropod dinosaurs, two groups that first evolved in the Triassic period, yet managed to survive to the present day in the form of crocodiles and birds. 'Until we deciphered the story behind Carnufex, it wasn\u2019t clear that early crocodile ancestors were among those vying for top predator roles prior to the reign of dinosaurs in North America.' The scientists, whose work is published in the journal Scientific Reports, used high-resolution scanning techniques to reconstruct Carnufex's skull from the fossil fragments. They found that the skull was unexepectedly slender, at least 50cm in length, with an ornamented boss running across the top of the skull. They said that Carnufex is one of the world's earliest and largest early crocodile ancestors. Scientists reconstructed the skull of Carnufex carolinensis, shown above, using 3D scanning technology . At the time it was alive North Carolina was part of a super-continent called Pangea and was in the warm, wet equatorial region. Other large predators like rauisuchids and popsauroids, cousins of the ancient crocodiles, roamed much of the southern Hemisphere. They would have hunted alongside many of the early theropod dinosaurs that began to emerge at the same time. Carnufex was a large early crocodile and is marked in red above alongside other early crocodile species .

'As I am a passionate race driver this decision has been very difficult for me. 'However I also wish to respect the interest of the FIA, Sauber Motorsport, as well as Nasr and Ericsson.' Crucially, Van der Garde has made clear further negotiations need to take place, however, before the matter can finally be closed. The 29-year-old added: 'My management will continue talks with Sauber early next week to find a mutually acceptable solution for the current situation that has now arisen. 'I am confident such solution will be found and I will inform the media once done.' Van der Garde dropped the case against Sauber out of respect to 'motorsport, and F1 in particular' Marcus Ericssson and Felipe Nasr will race for them in his place. Both were named on Sauber's race entry and took part in second practice on Friday, having sat out of the first session while the lawyers argued.

But allowing TV networks to customise their bids means racing could separately sell its crown jewels \u2014 Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, the Derby and Grand National \u2014 to terrestrial channels. Other marquee meetings may follow. This makes commercial sense, especially as racing is already well served by two subscription channels for the run-of-the-mill meetings. The secret of Irish trainer Willie Mullins\u2019s remarkable success at Cheltenham may be there for all to see, emblazoned on his horse boxes parked at the Festival. The promotional message is \u2018What a difference the hay makes\u2019. Mullins gets the specially selected hay for his County Kildare stables from Alberta in Canada, through supplier Ransley Hay, based in Ashford, Kent. They say: \u2018Mr Mullins is one of our best customers, so naturally we look after him.\u2019 Co-authored with Michael Moritz, the book will detail Ferguson's tactics and management techniques . Publishers Hodder & Stoughton look to have already maximised their investment in Sir Alex Ferguson with two seven-figure advances and two best-selling autobiographies. Yet Fergie, as if \u00a32m for 20 days\u2019 work as a Manchester United ambassador isn\u2019t enough to augment his pension, will no doubt be trousering another \u00a31m plus advance for a leadership book based on his Harvard business school work, written with tycoon Sir Michael Moritz. However, one subject sure to receive little attention in the book is Fergie\u2019s fall-out with JP McManus over the breeding rights to champion racehorse Rock Of Gibraltar.

The 29-year-old striker enjoyed a dream start to life at St Mary's after moving from Feyenoord in a reported \u00a39million summer deal. Pelle scored nine goals in his first 12 matches for Saints in all competitions and netted the winner on his debut for Italy. Graziano Pelle (19) has struggled with form recently and wasn't happy at being dropped for the first time . The goals have dried up of late, though, and he was replaced in the starting line-up by Shane Long in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Chelsea. Pelle ran straight down the tunnel at the final whistle, having played the final few minutes, and Koeman hopes the striker can end his three-month wait for a Premier League goal when Burnley visit this weekend. 'There has been a little bit of a reaction, yes, because nobody is happy to stay on the bench,' the Saints boss said. Ronald Koeman (centre) says he's 'seen a reaction' from Pelle after leaving him on the bench against Chelsea . 'Sometimes you need a reaction off the player in that situation. He is doing well. 'In that game, in that moment, I think it was good to change the way of playing with more fast players up front. Saturday we play at home.' Koeman has no fresh injury worries to contend with against Burnley, with Eljero Elia coming back into contention after missing last week's match through injury. Sean Dyche's relegation-threatened side head to St Mary's buoyed by last weekend's shock win over champions Manchester City and having overcome Southampton 1-0 earlier in the season. 'Yeah, they beat us but it wasn't a very good game that day and we missed a penalty,' Koeman said. The targetman was in superb form at the start of the season and scored nine goals in 12 matches . 'It was a stupid goal against us but, of course, we analyse always the opponent and we play 11 against 11 and then one team is playing like Burnley. 'Sometimes it is difficult to prepare a training session for the match, but we expect an aggressive opponent who will press us with direct play. 'That is always difficult because they don't give you time to play and you have to that and you have to prepare for that.' Saturday's match will be their last before a two-week international break, during which time many of Southampton's players will be away with their national teams. Martin Odegaard (left) was linked with a loan move to the Saints next season but Koeman denied the claims . England duo Nathaniel Clyne and Fraser Forster are amongst those players, with some eyebrows raised by the fact left-back Ryan Bertrand did not join them in Roy Hodgson's squad. 'I am not surprised,' Koeman said. 'He had suspension for three games. After that he came back and is playing well.

The FBI says the 'Veloz Crew' - headed by Danny Veloz, who is known as 'The Maestro' - went to elaborate lengths to kidnap a man they believed to be a major dealer of homemade Percocet pills, which deliver a heroin-like high. The plot was one of many underground kidnappings that police say targeted dealers in order to obtain large ransoms of cash or drugs, believing that going after criminals reduced the risk of involving authorities. The Joloperros tagged the victim's car with a GPS tracker and monitored his movements for months on a big-screen TV inside Veloz's house,The Boston Herald reported. Scroll down for video . Elaborate plot: The FBI says the 'Veloz Crew', headed by Danny Veloz (left), planned the July 2012 kidnapping for weeks, targeting a man they believed was a major dealer in homemade Percocet and pretending to police and wearing skeleton masks when they abducted the victim . 'Kidnap bag': The gang would pose as police, or use skeleton masks to disguise themselves, before swiping their targets off the street, sometimes in broad daylight . The tracking device would call Veloz's cellphone once the target's car started moving. On July 12, 2012, they were ready to pounce. The gang had a kidnap bag full of police shirts, skeleton masks and guns. According to The Herald, Jose Guzman, Henry Maldonado, Thomas Wallace, Luis Reynoso, and Gadiel Romero all suited up and got into a white Toyota minivan. Veloz, the leader, was on the phone to Guzman from another location. As the victim pulled into his driveway about 7 p.m., the abductors pulled in behind and came out with guns. Both the target and the man he was with were abducted. The target was hit in the head with a handgun, causing 'blood to spray throughout the van,' according to an affidavit. The two were taken to Maldonado\u2019s apartment in Manchester, N.H., where the crew demanded payment. The target victim refused to cooperate, and was beaten and burned with a hot iron, the affidavit said. He suffered several burn injuries.

Dressed in a casual outfit and carrying a shopping bag, Mrs Westwood is seen getting into her car with what looks like a sparkly band on her ring finger. The 51-year-old was a volunteer bereavement counsellor for a children\u2019s hospice in Guildford, Surrey, which Clifford became a patron of.

While the distance was relatively small, the technology could someday pave the way for mankind to tap the vast amount of solar energy available in space and use it here on Earth. Japanese scientists say they have successfully transmitted energy wirelessly in a breakthrough for future solar space power systems. While the distance was relatively small, the technology could someday pave the way for mankind to tap the vast amount of solar energy available in space and use it here on Earth . 'This was the first time anyone has managed to send a high output of nearly two kilowatts of electric power via microwaves to a small target, using a delicate directivity control device,' said a spokesman for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) said. The test, which took place at Kobe Shipyard & Machinery Works in Nagoya, Japan, will help Jaxa devise its long-awaited space solar power system. Solar power generation in space has many advantages over its Earth-based cousin, notably the permanent availability of energy, regardless of weather or time of day. While man-made satellites, such as the International Space Station, have long since been able to use the solar energy that washes over them from the sun, getting that power down to Earth where people can use it has been the thing of science fiction.

But the Japanese research offers the possibility that humans will one day be able to farm an inexhaustible source of energy in space. The idea, said the Jaxa spokesman, would be for microwave-transmitting solar satellites - which would have sunlight-gathering panels and antennae - to be set up about 22,300 miles (36,000km) from the Earth.

Legislation to set the aid target in stone was passed by the Lords despite opposition from Tory grandees including former Chancellor Lord Lawson, who has described the measure as \u2018gesture politics\u2019. Sir Gerald Howarth, the former Conservative defence minister, said aid spending should be cut to allow an increase in the defence budget \u2013 because Russia is increasing spending on arms and the Middle East is in flames.

Steering systems got one third of the total votes out of the top 10 favourite farming tools. They are used to steer tractors in more precise patterns than humans are capable of, resulting in significant savings and improved productivity. GPS provides accurate location information by calculating the distance from at least three satellites and can also be used on farms to analyse soil fertility, Alex Thomasson, professor of biological and agricultural engineering at Texas A&M University wrote in an article for The Conversation. Farmers can use a GPS receiver to collect soil samples from pre-selected parts of fields. They then send the samples off to a lab for analysis, which creates a fertility map of their farm. Farmers can use the map to work out the amount of fertiliser needed for each location, giving their crops the best chance of growing and saving them money. Variable-rate technology (VRT) fertiliser applicators dispense just the right amount of fertiliser in each location, varying the qualities as the farmers go along. Before GPS, it was down to the driver to keep the tractor straight to avoid using too much seed, fertiliser or fuel, but today many farmers have some form of GPS steering, which means overlapping has all but disappeared and straight lines are easy. This has resulted in significant savings and improved productivity, which is why the innovation is a firm favourite with tech-savvy farmers.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage came under attack from both the Tories and Labour after ditching his party\u2019s commitment to cap net immigration at 50,000. And Ed Miliband attempted to seize the initiative on the issue, ridiculing David Cameron at Prime Minister\u2019s Questions over the Tories\u2019 failure to reduce net migration to the \u2018tens of thousands\u2019. Today the spotlight switches back to Labour\u2019s own record, following the publication of a comprehensive study by the think-tank MigrationWatch. It found that, through a combination of deliberate policies and \u2018cock-up\u2019, 7.23million immigrants were allowed to arrive in the UK \u2013 almost one every minute.

However, the figure also excludes the huge numbers who are suspected of sneaking into the country illegally. Factors behind the surge in arrivals included the relaxation of visa rules for non-EU workers, a five-fold rise in foreign students as bogus colleges flourished and an \u2018amnesty\u2019 for more than 200,000 asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. Labour also made it harder for border guards to stop suspected sham marriages.

Ministers predicted only 13,000 would arrive each year \u2013 yet more than one million came. The MigrationWatch study argues that the mass immigration policy had such huge implications it should have been outlined in Labour\u2019s election manifestos.

The 'Fat Vicar' who conducted Frank Bruno's wedding has been jailed for three years for abusing a boy at a children's home. Father Anthony McSweeney was locked up after the court rejected his claim that his 20st size meant he could not have molested boys as they sat on his lap. The 68-year-old, who officiated at the boxer's wedding to ex-wife Laura, watched as care home manager John Stingemore, his paedophile friend, fondled a teenager in the shower of Grafton Close Children\u2019s Home in Hounslow, west London, between 1979 and 1981.

The bacteria were found in groundwater and are believed to be rather common. In their abstract, the scientists wrote: 'Ultrastructural features potentially related to cell and genome size minimization include tightly packed spirals inferred to be DNA, few densely packed ribosomes and a variety of pili-like structures that might enable inter-organism interactions that compensate for biosynthetic capacities inferred to be missing from genomic data.

+{"article": "In the dream scenario Steven Gerrard's final action in a Liverpool shirt will be the lifting of the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium on May 30, his 35th birthday. It will be emotional. For more than 16 years Gerrard was Anfield's beating heart. The good times were great. He gave them Istanbul, a crazy, glorious night forever etched into the club's history. A year later, in 2006, it was his last-minute long-range strike that gave them life against West Ham in Cardiff. Steven Gerrard returned to Liverpool training earlier this week after almost a month out with injury . The club captain led Liverpool to Champions League glory against AC Milan in 2005 . In total there was a Champions League, a Uefa Cup, two FA Cups and three League Cups. Even in the bad times (and there were plenty as a Premier League title remained elusive) the local boy was a source of Scouse inspiration. When Roy Hodgson wobbled and King Kenny came back but could only lead them to eighth, punters in pubs from Formby to Fazakerley could take solace. 'At least we've got Stevie G'. From next season, however, they will not. They appear to be giant boots to fill. Imagining a Liverpool without Gerrard is like imagining The Beatles without Paul McCartney. But the show must go on and, in Jordan Henderson, Brendan Rodgers might just have the ideal replacement. A year later Gerrard inspired the Reds to an FA Cup win against West Ham . A Liverpool team without Steven Gerrard will be like The Beatles without Paul McCartney (front left) His goalkeeper certainly thinks so. After Wednesday's 2-0 win over Burnley Simon Mignolet cast an early vote for May's Anfield election. 'Jordan is a massive player for us,' he said. 'He is a very positive character who always works hard and leads by example. 'He's vocal both on the pitch and in the dressing room. He goes in front of us and everyone follows behind.' Can Henderson lead from the front like Gerrard? Can he carry the team on his back? Some would point to the penalty spat with Mario Balotelli as evidence that the 24-year-old is not cut out for the job. Jordan Henderson has led the team in Gerrard's absence as Liverpool have made a charge for the top four . Henderson has been in inspired form for Liverpool and struck sensational goals in his last two games . Gerrard, they say, would never have let the Italian take the ball. He would have shown him who was boss. The man himself said as much. But they would be wrong to criticise. Balotelli, being Balotelli, was always going to try and take the penalty. And why not? Have you seen his record? Out of 29 penalties he has scored 27. Aside from his unpredictability, scoring from the spot is one of few things consistent about madcap Mario and Henderson, who has never taken a penalty in such a high-stakes environment, will have known that. For the good of the team he made the right", "summary": "Steven Gerrard is leaving Liverpool in the summer to join LA Galaxy .

+{"article": "When a regime starts to unravel at Liverpool, there is usually only one way it will end. Bad results become like an avalanche and the onset of disappointment is impossible to prevent. I first saw it happen shortly after I broke into the team under Roy Evans, and history repeated itself with Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez. After failing to build on a challenge for the Barclays Premier League, Liverpool would slip away. Ultimately, the manager would lose his job. Title challenges have not happened too often in the modern era. Liverpool fell short in 1997, then 2002 and again in 2009. The disappointment lingers and the realisation that you might not get another shot at the biggest domestic prize alters the atmosphere. It is hard to break that cycle. Brendan Rodgers talks with Adam Lallana (right) as Liverpool train ahead of Sunday's clash with Man United . Rodgers and his players and staff appeared in good spirits ahead of a crucial Premier League clash . Rodgers has managed to turn around Liverpool's season after a stuttering start to the campaign . So, as Liverpool suffered one setback after another at the start of this campaign \u2014 and expensive new signings failed to produce what was expected of them \u2014 I was concerned that my old club were heading down a familiar, bleak path. Putting it bluntly, I feared for Brendan Rodgers. This was a challenge unlike anything he had ever faced. Liverpool is a club like no other when the atmosphere changes and disappointment grabs hold. The manager\u2019s position gets scrutinised, his decisions get picked apart and it undoubtedly has an impact. I owe Houllier and Benitez a lot for the help they gave me career but it\u2019s important to reiterate the point I have made before: they walked out of Anfield as different men to the ones who were appointed. By the end they were giving bizarre press conferences and some of the decisions they were making were not as sharp as they had been \u2014 that is what the burning intensity of carrying Liverpool\u2019s destiny on your shoulders can do to you. Gerard Houllier celebrates winning the League Cup in 2003 - but he left Liverpool a changed man . Rafa Benitez was another manager who Carragher believes was changed by his experiences at Liverpool . Credit, then, must go to Rodgers for how he has arrested the slide and propelled Liverpool back into the race for the top four. It was against Manchester United, Sunday's opponents, that Rodgers first unveiled his 3-4-3 formation on December 14. You rarely see many other managers play in such a way but that alteration has unlocked so much improvement. For starters, look at the way some of the new players who were criticised early on are thriving. Emre Can wasn\u2019t bought to play on the right side of a three-man defence. Lazar Markovic didn\u2019t arrive to be a wing-back while Adam Lallana wasn\u2019t expected to play in some of the positions he has done. They arrived as players with talent and Rodgers", "summary": "Liverpool's poor start to the season left Brendan Rodgers under pressure . But Liverpool are now unbeaten in 13 league games and fifth in the table . Rodgers deserves credit for formation change to get best out of players .

In the absence of Steven Gerrard, who returned to training this week after a hamstring injury which has sidelined him for six matches, the Reds vice-captain has taken the armband and led from the front. His goal against Burnley was his second in as many games - taking his tally for the season to five - and he also provided his 11th assist of the season for Daniel Sturridge to also score against the Clarets. Jordan Henderson (centre) has seen Liverpool unbeaten in his six games as captain . Henderson scored a stunning goal in the 2-0 victory over Burnley on Wednesday . The England international also scored a screamer against champions Manchester City in his previous game . Liverpool have not lost any of the 13 matches in which Henderson has worn the armband from the start and Lallana, who knows something about leadership from his time at Southampton, believes his England colleague has grown with the added responsibility. 'He is unbelievable. He has matured as a player over the last two seasons and he has kicked on another level even with the armband,' said the \u00a323million summer signing. 'I was lucky enough to be captain at Southampton and it does give you that little bit extra and it seems it is doing the same to him. 'It is great to be playing with such good players and the results are on the up. 'We have a great rhythm and a good bit of consistency and are keeping clean sheets as well; we've turned a corner since Christmas and we are really looking good. Adam Lallana (centre) believes Henderson has come into his own after being handed the Reds armband . First choice captain Steven Gerrard (right) has returned to training after recovering from a hamstring injury . 'It was a difficult start (to the season) but all the signings have bedded in now and we have players back fit and we have found a system we are playing really well and are causing teams problems. 'Confidence is a big thing in any team and we have that in abundance and I think it is showing.' Lallana's own improvement in form has also taken an upturn in line with the team's and there is no doubt he is benefiting from the 3-4-2-1 system which allows him the freedom, alongside Philippe Coutinho, to exploit the space behind the central striker. 'I've had a few injuries and been in and out of the team for whatever reason but I am thoroughly enjoying it at the minute,' he added.

Sandbanks in Poole, Dorset, has long been one of the most exclusive addresses in Britain with the super rich fighting over coveted space on its water's edge. With wealthy footballers and businessmen vying for a spot on the small peninsula, house hunters have been known to snap up dated, old-fashioned properties to knock down and rebuild. The 1980s house is no different, with developers keen to make the most of its 3.5 acre plot. The property in Sandbanks in Poole, Dorset, is to be demolished and replaced with three other modern houses worth a combined \u00a312million . The property, which lies in one of the country's most exclusive postcodes, no longer has 'architectural merit' after lying derelict for so long . The house's empty indoor swimming pool is filled with debris and leaves. Each of the new houses will have its own pool and four bedrooms . Local groups expressed no desire to maintain the original property which, if left untouched any longer, would have become entirely ruined . Debris and scattered roof tiles now fill the house's empty swimming pool. The house was bought for \u00a34million by property developers . The property previously boasted manicured lawns and an impressive fountain in the centre of its driveway. It is pictured before workers began tearing it down . Work has already begun in tearing down the house which has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, four reception rooms and an indoor swimming pool. Having been left derelict for years it is now filled with rubble and debris and no longer has 'architectural merit', said the estate agents involved in its sale.

'Couples in this area don\u2019t require a house of 30,000 square foot where they will be in separate parts of it most of the time and only see each other at dinner.

For the Manx, the Triskelion is a powerful symbol of independent spirit and endurance, the motto being: 'Whichever way you throw, it will stand.' Lately, it's become a symbol for me too, of three islands. There's the island I've called home for the past 11 years, the island I write about in my novels, and somewhere in between, perhaps, a deeper truth about this beautiful rock in the middle of the Irish Sea. Independent spirit: The harbour at Ramsey, the Isle of Man's second biggest town . Legend: A carving of the sea god Manannan . Can a place with a reputation for being safe and sleepy really also be home to spies, killers and evil spirits that feature in my books? I like to think so, and here are a few reasons why. The weather might be mixed but the landscape is dramatic, whether seen from the sea, walking the coast path, or taking the electric railway to the top of the island's solitary mountain, Snaefell (from where, on a clear day, you can see the distant humped blurs of Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales). The rich variety of locations is something I've grown to appreciate in my books, and something the Isle of Man film industry has thrived on during the past decade. Need a spooky cottage? The island has plenty. The same goes for lush glens and lonely coves. But the island provides more than great backdrops. It's compact, with a population in the region of 85,000, and while that makes it ideally manageable for a weekend visit, it also fosters something all writers rely on - rumours and hearsay. My first Isle of Man-set thriller, Safe House, grew out of a rumour I heard almost as soon as I moved here - namely, that it's used as a place to relocate people enrolled in UK witness protection schemes. Is the rumour true? I don't know for certain, but it seems credible to me. The island is isolated and has lots of out-of-the-way spots. The Isle of Man also its own very distinct identity. Where else could the population swell for a fortnight every June in celebration of a controversial motorbike festival that pits man against machine over a course run on almost 38 miles of public roads? The Isle of Man is isolated, with some out of the way spots, lush glens and lonely coves . Racing glory: Every summer the island hosts the world-famous TT races, with motorbikes reaching 200mph . The TT (Tourist Trophy) races have been in existence since 1907, with recent competitors recording top speeds of 200mph. But while most islanders are proud of the long tradition of racing greats who have tamed the course, the event is not without its critics. Like many others, I find it hard to reconcile the number of fatalities that have occurred with the racing glory, but I can't fail to admire how brave the riders must", "summary": "Author Chris Ewan sums up why he loves his Manx idyll .

But when their form dips and yet they remain high maintenance, there is only ever one outcome. It happened to Roy Keane whose tantrums and outbursts were tolerated by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United until the moment he no longer justified his place in the team. After the embarrassing mis-match in the Nou Camp when Barcelona could have scored at least six against Manchester City, you feel that time is rapidly running out for Toure and others like Vincent Kompany and Edin Dzeko. This summer will surely see a major transfusion of personnel at the Etihad if they are to challenge Europe's best.

City captain and defender Vincent Kompany (right) contests for the ball alongside Barcelona's Luis Suarez . Defender Pablo Zabaleta has been left out of City's team for their biggest games this season . Toure became the Premier League's best-paid player when he signed for Roberto Mancini from Barcelona in 2010. In domestic football, he has been an unqualified success and scored 24 goals last season as City won their second championship. His world-class strike against Sunderland at Wembley won Manuel Pellegrini the Capital One Cup. When things were rosy, the club were happy to overlook constant talk about him being linked with other clubs, his pushiness to secure improved contracts and a farcical stand-off about not being treated with enough respect on his birthday. Premier League managers felt the midfielder didn't do enough of the hard yards to protect City defensively but they were unable to capitalise much because when Yaya had the ball he was an unstoppable force of nature. But those days have gone and the 31-year-old's hapless showing against Barcelona as City crashed out of the Champions League underlined he is not the man to push the club forward any more. His dereliction of duty to allow Ivan Rakitic the space to score Barca's winner was noted immediately. Going forward, his shooting was wayward and he was taken off before the end by Pellegrini \u2013 unthinkable one or two years ago. Remember, Toure had been banned for the previous three games in Europe and this was his big chance to show the world what he was still capable of. The club are in no hurry to offer the current African Player of the Year a new deal at anything like the \u00a3240,000-a-week terms of his last contract. Indeed, with Financial Fair Play now increasingly important, the temptation to offload him and his wages to Inter Milan this summer to allow new blood is very tempting.

Hold-up: Cody Spafford, a 26-year-old sous chef in a prestigious Seattle restaurant, held up a Wells Fargo branch in women's clothes and thick makeup last year . Spafford, who abandoned his realistic-looking BB gun, but kept hold of an 8-inch knife, was shot seven times in a stand-off with police and died at the scene. His family in Utah, and co-workers at The Walrus and The Carpenter, an upscale oyster bar where he was sous chef, were stunned to learn that the man they knew was behind the April 2014 hold-up.

Experts say that a sense of fun is more important to many people than whether someone has a degree or is religious. Play to win hearts: A new study has revealed that playfulness comes high on the list of desirable attributes in a partner (illustrated with a stock image) - just behind friendliness, intelligence and a sense of humour . Research by the University of Zurich revealed that playfulness is important to both sexes \u2013 just behind friendliness, intelligence and a sense of humour.

They described playful adults as those having a love of wordplay who enjoy teasing, people who are spontaneous and will take on a challenge lightheartedly and those who play the fool, for example. While playfulness comes in many forms, little research has been conducted into the trait and how desirable it is to others. Study found playful people deem humour, a laid back attitude and creativity more important in partners than their more serious peers (stock image) The new study builds on the research of anthropologist Garry Chick from Pennsylvania State University, who developed a theory that playfulness in adults is a desirable trait in sexual selection.

Ren\u00e9 Proyer and Lisa Wagner from the Department of Psychology at the University of Zurich, have shown that playfulness also plays an important role in the choice of a partner in the European culture. They asked 327 young adults from Germany, Switzerland and Austria to examine a list of 16 characteristics and indicate whether or not they found them desirable in a potential long-term partner. The results showed that men and women largely agreed in their orders of preference, although there were differences in individual ratings, according to the American Journal of Play. For example, women found a sense of humour more important than men and men found an exciting personality more important than women.

The journalist, who was posing as an Indian businessman, was allegedly told to split his donations between family members to keep his identity a secret, and was pictured at a meeting with Danny Alexander . An undercover Daily Telegraph reporter was reportedly told that by spreading his donation among other family members, he would not exceed the \u00a37,500 threshold requiring him to be named on the Electoral Commission register. The reporter was offered private meetings with Nick Clegg and other senior figures.

First, Asmir Begovic was harshly adjudged to have brought down Yannick Bolasie as Glenn Murray levelled from the spot after 41 minutes. Then, as Stoke chased an equaliser in the second half, Joel Ward got away with blocking Diouf's sot with his arms. Zaha, left out of Gareth Southgate's England Under 21 squad this week, earned a standing ovation from the noisy Palace fans when he was replaced late on. They are now 11 points above the bottom three and assured of another season in the Premier League. Pardew, whose side are now above his old club Newcastle in the table, said: 'Wilf had a hard game. The Stoke left back Erik Pieters is a player I tried to sign, he is aggressive and Wilf struggled at times. But he still managed to have his moments. 'The whole game was a physical but fair. It was almost like a Six Nations game at times in terms of its toughness.' Stoke boss Mark Hughes was justifiably angry at the two key decisions that went against his side. 'When you see the replay for their penalty, the lad Bolasie has got his foot up high above Asmir, that is why Asmir missed the ball. But the referee deemed it a penalty. It was a key moment and Andre Marriner missed a lot of things.

But perhaps it\u2019s time to take note, because our pee can say a lot about our health, according to one doctor. Speaking on ITV\u2019s This Morning, Dr Chris Steele explained what each shade of pee \u2013 from clear to red to green and blue \u2013 tells us about the body. He lined up test tubes of a range of colours of urine, from clear through to dark yellow, to red and blue. His first piece of advice is to look at the colour of urine while peeing, rather than when it has hit the toilet bowl. Scroll down for video . Dr Chris Steele, a GP and resident doctor on ITV's This Morning, said people should look at the colour of their urine while they are peeing, not when the urine has hit the bowl and is diluted in water . Red and dark red urine (pictured) could be caused by certain foods like beetroot or drugs like laxatives. However, it could be due to blood in the urine, signalling an infection, or tumours or kidney stones . He told presenters Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden: 'You should look at the colour in the stream that you\u2019re passing, not when it\u2019s in the toilet bowl, because it gets diluted in two litres of water.\u2019 When asked if this would be a bit difficult for women, he replied: \u2018You can even catch it if you\u2019re worried.\u2019 And when thinking about the colour of our pee, it's important to remember how food, drink and medication could be affecting it, he added. He said: \u2018Laxatives can cause a darkening colour of the urine. Always think about what you\u2019re putting in your mouth, could that be affecting things?\u2019 An example of this is asparagus and food colourants that can turn the urine blue or green. Meanwhile, urine that is frothy and foamy could be a warning sign someone is eating too much protein and needs to cut back, he said. \u2018It could be due to protein. Maybe you\u2019re on a high protein diet. Or it could be due to infection.' Next, he explained what each shade of pee means, in terms of health. Clear urine could be a sign of a \u2018good hydrated person\u2019, Dr Steele said. However, it could be because they are taking diuretic medicine which is making them pass water frequently. The diagram, created by the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, shows that urine should be straw coloured or pale yellow. If it is darker, it suggests the person is dehydrated . He added: \u2018They might be drinking diuretic-type drinks, such as coffee and alcohol. They can cause this effect.\u2019 He explained that the kidneys have two main functions: the first being to filter out toxins, create waste matter, and get it out of the body. The second is to balance fluid in the body; the fluid gained from drinks and metabolic reactions in the body, and the fluids lost through sweat.

A teenager took pictures of a schoolgirl as she was raped by a friend of an Asian restaurant owner who allegedly groomed young girls for sex, a court heard. The alleged victim had just turned 16 when she was photographed having sex with Manase Motaung, 32, at a drinking session in Peterborough. Motaung has been accused along with businessman Mohammed Khubaib, 43, of raping and trafficking young girls as young as 12. A friend of the 16-year-old girl, who cannot be named, said she was not concerned after seeing the girl have sex with Motaung and took three photographs on her mobile phone. She even sent one picture to her sister, a jury at the Old Bailey heard. But her 'distraught' friend has claimed she was so drunk she had no memory of the alleged attack and it was only as the months passed that she started to have 'flashbacks' of what happened. She insisted she would never willingly have sex with the two 'vile men' when questioned by defence barrister, Karim Khalil QC. Cross-examining the alleged victim's friend, Mr Khalil said: 'You took a picture, the flash goes off. [She] realised you had taken a photo and was not happy about that. 'The two go upstairs and you send the photo to your sister. It was a big joke.' The witness agreed she believed her friend had consented to sex with Motaung, who denies rape. Letting agent Khubaib, who also owned Peterborough's 'Zaika' restaurant, is accused of grooming young girls to be used for sex by him and his friends. The prosecution allege he enticed vulnerable girls as young as 12 into spending time with him by giving them cash, tobacco, McDonald's meals and even flowers. Pakistani-born Khubaib who owns Peterborough restaurant Zaika (pictured), is accused of driving the vulnerable girls to properties around Cambridgeshire where they were plied with alcohol . The court heard Khubaib (pictured) bought one girl a \u00a340 bunch of flowers for her 15th birthday . Khubaib allegedly drove the youngsters to properties around Cambridgeshire where they were plied with booze. The girls would then be used for the sexual pleasure and satisfaction of himself and any other adult who was with him, it is claimed. Khubaib from Peterborough has denied 11 counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation, and one count of rape. Motaung, also from Peterborough, has denied seven counts of trafficking a child for sexual exploitation and one charge of rape. The offences were allegedly committed between 2007 and 2013. Khubaib was arrested alongside Motaung, known as 'Naz' and a 27-year-old friend at a house in Peterborough on 27 January, 2013.

Major has resigned from the department, WCVB reported. The footage shows him and two other officers restraining Maldonado, who was arrested for allegedly slapping a police officer after she admitted to drinking and smoking PCP, Mlive reported. In the video, the then-24-year-old repeatedly tells the officers that her lip ring is giving her pain and asks them to help her remove it. Arrest: Maylene Maldonado can be seen screaming as she is taken into custody in February 2013 . Attack: One of the officers, Sergeant Daniel Major, then abruptly grabs her neck and holds on . But as she continues to scream, Major suddenly grabs her around the neck and continues to hold on as his fellow officers do nothing. Then they all pull the woman to the ground. While on the floor, Major shouts: 'Shut the f*** up!' Maldonado was charged with resisting arrest and assault and battery on a police officer. In her lawsuit, which also names the other officers, Maldonado has accused the officers of assault and battery and civil rights violations, and accuses the city of failing to properly train its officers. She also claims she never received medical treatment for the injuries she allegedly sustained. Maldonado, from Springfield, was arrested after her friend's car got stuck in a snowbank in Chicopee and officers, who were called to the area following reports about a man with a knife, saw her running to a nearby gas station and went to check on her. She admitted to drinking and smoking the hallucinogenic drug PCP and then got into an altercation with police officers when they tried to see her license. Holding on: She struggles as Major holds on to her neck - while the other officers stand back and do nothing . 'Attack': The officers then push Maldonado to the ground, where Major says: 'Shut the f*** up' She slapped an officer across the face and apologized, according to the criminal complaint, but was arrested and taken to the police station where the alleged assault unfolded. The case has also caused divisions within the department. Thomas Charette, the acting chief at the time of the 2013 incident, defended Major's actions as appropriate because Maldonado was high on PCP and allegedly spat blood during her arrest. 'Sergeant Major made several attempts to speak softly and calmly with Ms. Maldonado in order to calm her and complete the booking process,' Charette said, according to WHDH. 'However, she was either unwilling or unable to understand simple instructions and kept insisting that Sergeant Major repeat himself.'

His intervention will be seen as a sign that the former prime minister is keen to mend fences with a party leadership that has publicly distanced itself from his creation, New Labour. The donation is a relatively modest gesture given controversy over Mr Blair's dealings with Kazakhstan president Nursultan Nazarbayev, pictured .

'That brace makes it eight goals in six league games and when you're on that run you just want the games to keep coming. 'He's confident going into games, and he's confident when he's front of goal that he's going to score. 'That's the kind of confidence that a striker really wants and it will inevitably benefit the team.' Austin has enjoyed an excellent campaign himself, scoring 15 goals in his debut season in the top flight. Charlie Austin is also in England contention after scoring 15 Premier League goals this season . Charlie Austin's shot flies past Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for a consolation goal on Saturday . A dip in form saw Austin score just once in seven matches at the start of the year but two goals in his last three games suggests the 25-year-old his rediscovering his rhythm. 'If you're a confident striker the ball will always fall to you in the right positions,' Austin said. 'If you're in form there's nothing stopping you picking the ball up 25 yards out and having a shot, whereas a striker low on confidence might play it out wide and be slightly more conservative. 'If you get the goal to kick-start the run, your self-belief keeps growing and you know you'll keep getting chances to score.' Austin is only five away from reaching the 20-goal mark in the league this season but the striker insists he has not set any targets. England manager Roy Hodgson monitored both Kane and Austin at Loftus Road on Saturday . 'I've never got into the habit of setting myself personal targets,' Austin added. 'If you set yourself a target you can give yourself something to achieve, but if you don't hit those aims you see yourself as a failure. 'For me that isn't a motivation. It was my first season in the Premier League this year and I wanted to go in all guns blazing and just see what I could do.'", "summary": "Kane scored twice as Spurs beat QPR 2-1 at Loftus Road on Saturday .

+{"article": "Inhaling the delicate bouquet of a glass of wine can leave most of us at a loss for words to describe what we are smelling. But it turns out it may be our language that is hampering our sense of smell. Scientists have found that English speakers struggle to identify and describe odours compared to other languages. I'm getting blackberries and thistles: The English language is not the best for describing odours say scientists . Researchers found those who use English as their first language can take five times as long to describe an odour than they can a colour. However, native speakers from the Jahai tribe in Perak, Malaysia, described odours far more consistently and in less time than they can a colour. Looking at someone who is overweight or obese can alter our sense of smell to make the scent of the world around us appear less pleasant, scientists have found. Researchers discovered viewing images of fat people caused participants in a study to rate odour samples as smelling worse - even though they were actually fragrance free. The scientists believe the effect may be caused by inbuilt negative bias that many people have towards those who are overweight and obese. Surprisingly they also found that those who had a higher BMI themselves tended to give the scent samples a lower rating. This suggests that people who have their own weight problems are perhaps also the harshest critics of others who are fat. The Jahai have at least 12 specific abstract words that relate to smells while the Maniq, a tribe of hunter gatherers in southern Thailand, have 15 words. These abstract words describe smells in the same way as we use blue, red and yellow to describe colours. The findings suggest English speakers appear to have lost the ability to accurately describe smells. Professor Asifa Majid, who led the work at the centre for language studies at Radboud University in Nijmegen, in the Netherlands, said: 'Our findings show that the long-held assumption that people are bad at naming smells is not universally true. 'Odours are expressible in language, as long as you speak the right language.' Professor Majid has found that the English language has few specific words that are capable of describing smells. One of the few that is used is the term 'musty', which describes a stuffy and dusty odour of an old book or room that has been unused for a long time. Most of the time English speakers have to rely upon the source of the smell as a description - using words like fruity or lemon. In a study published in the journal Cognition, Professor Majid asked 10 American English speakers and 10 native speakers of the Jahai to describe colours and odours. They were presented with 12 odours, including cinnamon, turpentine, lemon, smoke, chocolate, rose, onion and gasoline, and 80 different colours. They found that when describing the odours, there was little agreement among English speakers when describing the odours.

Madelyn McKinnon, from Brisbane, has undergone countless surgeries, procedures and treatments in her two short years, and to help her along the way her family bought her a silver bracelet from Pandora. Each charm on the piece of jewellery represented an obstacle she had overcome, or a milestone she surpassed, and so held special meaning for the McKinnon family and Madelyn's mother Melissa. 'It\u2019s basically Maddy's life on a bracelet, she\u2019s been through a lot in her time,' Melissa McKinnon told Daily Mail Australia.

Maddy's mum Melissa McKinnon was devastated when the special bangle - a representation of her daughter's life, went missing . Thanks to the kindness of strangers who donated money and Pandora who donated an entirely new bracelet Maddy's again has a special bangle . But on Wednesday just after Madelyn, who is two this week, had been admitted to the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in Brisbane for more treatment, somewhere between the cafeteria and her room the bangle went missing. When a head-to-toe search and retracing of footsteps turned up nothing, Ms McKinnon took to Facebook to ask for help recovering the symbolic bracelet. 'Yes, the bracelet is very pretty and is quite expensive for a 23-month-old but if only you knew what she had to endure for those charms,' the young girl's mother wrote. 'She has been on life support, had countless surgeries, MRI's, Lumbar punctures, EEG's, blood tests, infusions, transfusions to just name a few. Our daughter is a very sick child and has been since she was 5 weeks old and her Pandora bracelet is to recognise her bravery.' Ms McKinnon also said she had checked with hospital security, volunteers and staff and reported the matter to the police but had not managed to recover the bangle. She said the overwhelming feeling when she first realised the bracelet was missing was 'grief'.

The move was rumoured in December but now the Redmond-based tech giant has said it will use a new name for its forthcoming browser, which is currently code named Project Spartan. It is believed the new browser will look more like Google's Chrome browser and be faster than Internet Explorer. Scroll down for video . Farewell familiar friend: Microsoft has confirmed that it is dropping the Internet Explorer brand (logo pictured) and instead will use a new name for its forthcoming browser, which is currently code named Project Spartan . Microsoft's marketing chief Chris Capossela said the company is working on a new name for the browser, which should be in Windows 10. \u2018We\u2019ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we\u2019ll also have a new browser which is code named Project Spartan. We have to name the thing,\u2019 he said at Microsoft Convergence. The new browser will be the main way for Microsoft 10 users to access the internet, although Internet Explorer will continue to exist, The Verge reported. The re-branding move is unsurprising as Microsoft has tried and largely failed to shake off the bad reputation of Internet Explorer 6, which was notoriously insecure and has regularly made \u2018worst tech products of all time\u2019 lists. The browser, which does not yet have a name, is likely to be rolled out with Windows 10. The new operating system marks the return of the Start Menu, which has the traditional list layout of previous versions of the interface, combined with the tile set-up that Microsoft introduced in Windows 8 (pictured) The company is thought to be testing names using market research, but so far no final name has been announced. Internet Explorer, which was first called Windows Internet Explorer, was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95 in 1995. Internet Explorer was one of the most widely used web browsers, attaining a peak of about 95 per cent during 2002 and 2003. However, it struggled in the face of competition, and in May 2012 it was announced that Google's Chrome overtook Internet Explorer as the most used browser worldwide. The brand has struggled to shake off the bad reputation of Internet Explorer 6, which was notoriously insecure. Capossela mentioned that putting \u2018Microsoft\u2019 in front of the secret name boosted the browser\u2019s appeal to some Chrome users in the UK, suggesting the company\u2019s name could appear in the final brand. Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet first shared the rumour of a new browser in December. 'Microsoft is building a new browser, codenamed Spartan, which is not IE 12 - at least according to a couple of sources of mine,' she wrote. Thomas Nigro, a Microsoft Student Partner lead and developer of the modern version of VLC - a media playing app - claimed on Twitter in December that he heard Microsoft was building a brand-new browser.

+{"article": "The race for places in the Champions League among the Premier League's top clubs has just become more urgent after UEFA announced significant increases in prize money for their top competition from next season. Cash for appearing in the group stages onwards is leaping by up to 50 per cent, and for English clubs there will also be steep hikes in 'market pool' money from UEFA's TV incomes. The upshot is that if an English club were to win next season's Champions League, they would earn around \u20ac100m (or \u00a374m at today's exchange rates) from central UEFA funds alone. Ticket income plus any commercial bonuses income would be on top. Real Madrid's financial reward for retaining the Champions League would be even bigger than last year . Chelsea's Champions League exit at the hands of PSG has cost them a share of more lucrative prize money . To put that in context, England's highest-earning club in last season's Champions League was Manchester United, who earned \u20ac44.8m (\u00a333m) from UEFA for reaching the quarter-finals. As things stand, the four Champions League slots for next season are filled by Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United - with that quartet the favourites to reach Europe's top club competition. But Liverpool in fifth, Southampton in sixth and Tottenham in seventh will still hold out hopes they can finish strongly and perhaps squeak into the top four. Never has that fourth place been so lucrative. Under current prize money arrangements, clubs reaching the group stage receive \u20ac8.6m (\u00a36.4m) each plus \u20ac1m (\u00a3750,000) per group win and \u20ac0.5m (\u00a3370,000) per draw. The basic fee will rise 40 per cent to \u20ac12m (\u00a38.9m) and each win will jump 50 per cent to \u20ac1.5m (\u00a31.1m). Prize money for reaching the last 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals will leap up to 57 per cent, respectively to \u00a34m, \u00a34.44m and \u00a35.2m. The prize for being tournament runner-up will jump from \u20ac6.5m (\u00a34.8m) to \u20ac10.5m (\u00a37.8m) while the winner's prize will jump from \u20ac10.5m (7.8m) to \u20ac15m (\u00a311.11m). Danny Welbeck will have extra reason to celebrate if Arsenal qualify for the Champions League next season . Manchester United won \u00a333m after losing their quarter-final last year - but that will soon look relatively small . Brendan Rodgers and Raheem Sterling will now be even more desperate to finish in the top four this term . Manchester City flopped again among Europe's elite, but they are set for another windfall next season .

Yet it is the market pool money that promises to surge for English clubs especially, because BT Sport's \u00a3897m three-year deal with UEFA for all European club football kicks in next season, and is worth double what Sky previously paid.

The only exceptions would be asylum-seekers or migrants who could suffer 'irreversible' harm if sent back to a dangerous country. The move seeks to end the racket of thousands of illegal immigrants being able to prolong their stay in Britain for months or even years by lodging a string of appeals and judicial reviews.

Bush's Iraq 'surge' operation, is still on speed dial despite reaching a plea deal with federal prosecutors.

Josh Earnest told journalists on Monday that administration officials were still consulting with disgraced former CIA chief David Petraeus about fighting the ISIS terror army in Iraq . AFFAIR: Petraeus will plead guilty to a charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified information after he handed over sensitive material to his mistress, Paula Broadwell, right . Earnest defended the decision by noting that Petraeus \u2013 who no longer has a CIA security clearance, according to Newsweek \u2013 nonetheless has kept up his strong relationships with military and political leaders in Iraq. 'Obviously, General Petraeus is somebody who served for a number of years in Iraq,' the president's chief spokesman said. 'He commanded a large number of American military personnel in that country. Over that time, he developed strong relationships with some of his Iraqi counterparts and with some of Iraq's political leaders.'

A retired four-star general, Petraeus' storied career suffered a major blow from revelations he gave the biographer, Paula Broadwell, eight binders of classified material he had kept improperly. Documents filed in federal court state that between August 2011 and April 5, 2013, Petraeus did 'unlawfully and knowingly' take classified materials and retain them at 'unauthorized' locations. In one August 2011 taped biographical interview with Broadwell that prosecutors used against Petraeus, he can be heard saying of papers in front of them both: 'They're really \u2013 I mean they are highly classified, some of them. They don\u2019t have [\"top secret\"] on it, but, I mean there\u2019s \"code word\" stuff in there.' Prosecutors say he gave her classified binders, called 'black books,' which included notes about his discussions with President Obama. He left the books with her so she could use them as source material for the biography, prosecutors said. Days later, Petraeus brought the books back to his home in Arlington, Virginia. The FBI later seized the materials in a search of Petraeus' home. He later lied to FBI agents about providing them to Broadwell and said he never gave her classified material, according to court documents.

Life story: Hof, 68, opened his brothel in Lyon County, Nevada, in the early 1990s. His goal was to train prostitutes in investing, sales and negotiating prices for sexual favors . Hof starts his memoir with the story of how he got his first erection - something he can thank Marilyn Monroe for, according to the New York Post. He was an eight-year-old boy at the Arizona State Fair when he saw a 'gorgeous, red-lipped blonde' waving at him while filming a movie. She kissed him on the cheek and introduced herself as Marilyn Monroe. And from then on, Hof sought out young, voluptuous blondes to fill his fantasies.

I soon realized I had a big problem: I loved f****** and I couldn't get enough of it.' And he then realized that he 'had fallen madly in love with prostitutes'.

The British military are not doing enough to stop migratory birds in the Mediterranean being killed by nets or traps, a conservation group has claimed. More than two million migratory birds were deliberately killed in Cyprus last autumn, according to new data. The birds, which cost 80 euros (\u00a386) for a dozen, are a local delicacy known as ambelopoulia. The illegal activity has now caused a drastic drop in the numbers of blackcaps, robins and songbirds and has been dubbed 'out of control'. A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), a partner of Birdlife Cyprus, described the issue as 'trapping on an industrial level'. He said: 'We are hoping that we can begin to get a grip and would like the British base of Dhekelia to help clear the acacia, which trappers plant to lure in birds. 'It is so obvious when it is taking place. It is easy to detect and easy to see where it has been planted. We accept it is a difficult job but we would like to see some commitment to a timetable. 'Unfortunately last year the action the British military took was too late because it was after the trapping season. 'At the moment the Ministry of Defence are arguing with our figures but everybody needs to work together. 'Trapping itself has been illegal since 1974 and it is against the laws and regulations of the base area.' The birds are caught by trappers using netting or limesticks - twigs covered in sticky lime or glue. Nearly ten miles of net supports and more than 6,000 limesticks were discovered between September and October last year, according to Birdlife Cyprus. Nearly ten miles of net supports (above) and more than 6,000 limesticks - twigs covered in glue - were found between September and October last year, according to Birdlife Cyprus . The birds, which cost 80 euros (\u00a386) for a dozen and can be grilled or pickled, are a local delicacy known as ambelopoulia . Trappers, who like to use the area around Dhekelia, also play birdsong through loudspeakers hidden in the bushes to lure more in and throw gravel to force birds towards their nets. Nearly 4,000 poachers are believed to be involved in the autumn trapping season - much higher than in summer because the birds are plumper. Clairie Papazoglou, Birdlife Cyprus' chief, said poaching was a 'serious, persistent and growing problem'.

Johansen, a Norway Under 21 international, came on as a second half substitute in two matches for New York City during pre-season - first against Brondby and then in a Carolina Challenge Cup clash against Houston Dynamo. New York City announced the signing of Manchester City goalkeeper Eirik Johansen on Tuesday . 'I had a great experience working with squad and coaches during the pre-season and I'm excited to re-join the team on permanent basis,' Johansen told the New York City's official website on Tuesday. 'The quality of the training really impressed me, as did the way the team came together in such a short period of time.' New York head coach Jason Kreis believes the signing of Johansen merely strengthens their options in the goalkeeping department. The 22-year-old (pictured in 2011) joins the MLS outfit after impressing during their pre-season . 'We had a good look at Eirik over the course of the pre-season, and he adapted well to the team and to our style of play,' he added. 'It's always good to have strong competition for places in the team, and Eirik will add to an already strong group of goalkeepers vying for game time.

Drinking three glasses of milk a day could help stave off diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s, say researchers. A new US study shows a link between milk consumption and higher levels of a naturally-occurring antioxidant called glutathione in the brain in older, healthy adults. The powerful antioxidant may minimise damage to brain cells from free radicals, destructive groups of atoms made as a by-product of metabolism that can damage cells. Antioxidants help to neutralise this type of oxidative stress in the body. The study was carried out at the University of Kansas Medical Center by associate professor of neurology In-Young Choi and Debra Sullivan, professor and chair of dietetics and nutrition. Dr Sullivan said \u2018We have long thought of milk as being very important for your bones and very important for your muscles. \u2018This study suggests that it could be important for your brain as well.\u2019 Altogether 60 adults enrolled in the study were asked about their diets in the days leading up to brain scans to monitor levels of glutathione in the brain. The researchers found those who said they had drunk milk recently had more glutathione in their brains. Those who drank around three glasses a day had highest levels, says a report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (must credit). Oxidative stress is known to be associated with a number of different diseases and conditions, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease and many other conditions, say the researchers. Dr Choi said \u2018Antioxidants are a built-in defence system for our body to fight against this damage, and the levels of antioxidants in our brain can be regulated by various factors such as diseases and lifestyle choices.\u2019 Dr Sullivan said \u2018You can basically think of this damage like the build up of rust on your car. \u2018If left alone for a long time, the build up increases and it can cause damaging effects. \u2018If we can find a way to fight this by instituting lifestyle changes including diet and exercise, it could have major implications for brain health.\u2019 For the study, researchers used high-tech brain scanning equipment housed at KU Medical Center\u2019s Hoglund Brain Imaging Center. Study found people who drank three glasses of milk a day had the highest level of anti-oxident glutathione .

Called AdvicyDrive, the wearable monitors your heart rate while driving to determine how awake you are. If it detects a drop in heart rate, which suggests you're dozing off, it sounds an alarm on a connected smartphone. Scroll down for video . The AdvicyDrive sensor monitors your heart rate while driving to determine how awake you are. If it detects a drop in heart rate, which suggests you're dozing off, it sounds an alarm on a smartphone (illustrated) When a person falls to sleep their heart rate drops by up around 10 to 30 beats per minute on average. To detect the most subtle of these changes, AdvicyDrive uses digital photoplethysmography (PPG) - an imaging test used to detect changes in blood flow at the microvascular level on the skin. Last year, researchers from the Biomechanics Institute in Valencia, Spain unveiled the Harken system. It measures the driver\u2019s heart rate and breathing via a sensor system knitted into the seatbelt and seat cover. If the rates drop too much, a warning alarm goes off. Designer Jose Solaz said: \u2018The variation in heart and respiratory rate are good indicators of the state of the driver as they are related to fatigue. 'Harken can monitor those variables and warn the driver before the symptoms appear.\u2019 The researchers said the system is innovative because it can cancel out the motion of the car and only pick up heart and respiratory rate thanks to the \u2018smart textile materials\u2019 embedded in the seat cover and seatbelt.

The technology shines a green LED onto the skin, and based on the variations in colour that are reflected back, the sensor can detect the heartbeat. It uses a traffic-light system to monitor the beats and will issue a cautionary warning if it begins to drop into the 'amber' section. The loud alarm rings when the rate reaches the 'red' zone'.

+{"article": "A mysterious San Antonio 'priest' is offering to absolve sins digitally - by taking confessions using Snapchat. However, the move has raised eyebrows among the local clergy, who fear the sacrament is being abused on the smartphone app, which deletes pictures and messages seconds after receiving them. Despite @priestDavid claiming he wants to make confession easier, others see a cynical ploy to get people to admit their failings and mistakes to a complete stranger, who has not proven he is a member of any church or even a priest. Available to hear your confession: Christian priests in San Antonio have warned against young people offering to confess their sins to @priestDavid . 'It's not confession. It's not what the sacrament is all about,' said local San Antonio priest, the Reverend Tony Vilano to News 4 in San Antonio. 'He's not a Catholic priest. The church teaches when you go to confession, you should go to a priest either behind a divider or face to face.' While it is not known what Christian denomination @priestDavid is, he claims the Snapchat confession is part of a college student's project he is helping with. He also told News 4 he wants to engage more young people and claims he has been a priest for 23-years. The confessions will be heard for two weeks from March 2 to March 16. Unethical: Confession as a sacrament is meant to be performed in person to a priest - either divided by a veil or in some cases face-to-face . Traditional: This is the way that confessions have been heard for over a thousand years . 'Doing it Snapchat, I mean, you can do Snapchat or through the internet and list everything you've done and there's no humility in there. There's no ownership of the sins you've committed,' said Rev. Vilano to News 4. Others are more damning of @priestDavid. Archdiocese of San Antonio Deacon Pat Rodgers vehemntly disagrees with using Snapchat for confessions. He said that in fact the man, if he is a priest, has gone rogue and that confessions must take place face-to-face. News 4 in San Antonio took to the street to ask the public their opinions. 'Ridiculous. Absurd. That's what the Catholic church is for. Internet is not reality. You want confession, go see a priest,' said Richard de Leon III to News 4. In a statement, the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas said: 'The Episcopal Diocese of West Texas recognizes there are various ways churches can reach out to people through social media. However, Episcopalians are not asked to present private confessions to a priest, instead confession is offered in worship, as part of the church's liturgy.'", "summary": "San Antonio priest @priestDavid offering confessions via Snapchat app .

Mary and Alun Williams, who produce beef and lamb for supermarkets, say their lives have been destroyed after they were tied to crippling interest rates that dragged them into millions of pounds of debt. Llangefni County Court yesterday ruled they would have to hand over the 600-acre Rhyngddwyafon Farm in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales, which the family has farmed for a century.

I think the fact nothing has been done to stop this company is a national disgrace. \u2018I can\u2019t believed we were so stupid as to believe them and trust them.\u2019 The Williams family say they were advised about four years ago to take a short-term commercial bridging loan to cover their mortgage \u2013 starting at rates of up to 22 per cent with the understanding a domestic mortgage rate of around 4 per cent would follow. As it did not materialise they took out further bridging loans and saw their \u00a31.24million loan rocket to \u00a33.1million due to fees, interest and other charges. When they were unable to pay, the firm \u2013 Somerset-based UK Acorn Finance \u2013 started legal action to repossess the farm. Farmers across the UK are being driven to the wall by lenders using lax regulation to seize properties and livelihoods, say MPs, who accused Acorn of \u2018reckless, if not fraudulent\u2019 practice.

Now it seems we are no closer to knowing what creature lies behind the mysterious sightings and footprints that have led to the legend of the Abominable Snowman. A key piece of evidence that suggested many of the sightings were due to an unknown type of bear living in the Himalaya has now been ruled out. This footprint taken by British explorer Eric Shipton in 1954 is regarded as one of the best pieces of evidence for the existence of a yeti and new research on hair samples shows that the mystery is far from being solved . Biologists used DNA analysis to examine claims that hair samples attributed to yetis appeared to belong to a scientifically undiscovered species of bear.

This means that the identity of the species behind yeti sightings is still a mystery. Dr Eli\u00e9cer Guti\u00e9rrez, an evolutionary biologist at the Smithsonian Institution, said one of the hair samples had apparently come from a bear that had been shot by hunters.

He had at least watched a recording, on the Downing Street TV, of Ed Miliband\u2019s own domestic disaster last week with BBC deputy political editor James Landale, after which the Labour leader was mocked for having two kitchens. But Cameron, a former political apparatchik-turned-PR man, never bothered to rehearse questions that might come up. He may have assumed he would not walk into any bear traps \u2013 but he could not have been more wrong. Scroll down for video . During an \u2018at home\u2019 interview in Oxfordshire, which aired on Monday, David Cameron (pictured with the BBC's James Landale) dropped the bombshell that he did not intend to run for a third term as Prime Minister . Cameron (pictured above with his wife Samantha) spent an hour in the kitchen of his home in Witney, Oxfordshire with the BBC journalist and the TV crew. The Camerons prepared lunch while being interviewed . The interview, when it was fixed months ago, was due to be conducted with the BBC\u2019s political editor Nick Robinson. But Landale stepped in, as he did with Miliband and Nick Clegg because Robinson, 51, is at home recovering from an operation to remove a tumour from his lung. It was clear on screen that Cameron felt instinctively at ease with Landale, a fellow Old Etonian. They didn\u2019t know each other at school as Cameron was two years above Landale. But they are both from wealthy families. Landale was brought up in rural Worcestershire, while Cameron had a similar upbringing in Berkshire. And Landale went to university in Bristol, the same city where Samantha Cameron studied. The BBC programme, which was designed to show a softer, more homely side of Cameron, had been going to plan, with footage of the PM on the touchline at his son Arthur Elwen\u2019s football match. Then there was a trip to the butcher\u2019s in his Oxfordshire town, where he made a rather tortured joke about fellow Chipping Norton set member Jeremy Clarkson also being a customer. And then he allowed the cameras into his constituency home. The BBC, who had already spent 30 minutes with Cameron, were given an hour in the kitchen in Witney, where Cameron visibly relaxed. Perhaps if his spin machine had exerted ruthless control of events, as Alastair Campbell once did for Tony Blair, it could have been a different story. But so confident was Downing Street that the interview would go off without a hitch that Craig Oliver, the No 10 communications secretary \u2013 himself an ex-BBC man \u2013 didn\u2019t even bother to make the trip to Oxfordshire.

Older workers' tsar Ros Altmann said the reaction to the 56-year-old's dramatic tumble on stage at the awards ceremony 'encapsulates ageist thinking that is inappropriate'. It comes ahead of a new report which reveals how unconscious bias or outright age discrimination stops some employers from hiring the over-50s. Scroll down for video . Madonna, 56, was pulled off the stage as she performed at the BRIT Awards in London last month . Madonna looked shocked - and briefly stopped singing - after she fell down a set of stairs at the BRIT Awards last month. She failed to untie her cape in time for her dancers to rip it away as she took to the stage at London's 02 Arena. Some onlookers praised her at the time for continuing to sing her new song, Living For Love, as proof of her professionalism after more than three decades in the business. But others argued that the embarrassing incident was proof that she should rethink her stage persona. Mrs Altmann said the media coverage after the fall was typical of the way age is treated. She told MailOnline: 'Much is often made of achievement with a reference to age. 'It's not uncommon to hear that 'despite' someone being a certain age they have achieved something commendable. 'The recent example of ageist comments after Madonna fell off the stage at the Brits encapsulates ageist thinking that is inappropriate. 'Falling was nothing to do with her age and could have happened to any performer of any age.' The pop superstar was dragged to the ground as she attempted to undo her Armani cape which was pulled by a dancer . Madonna later laughed off the incident and said her Armani cape was simply tied 'too tight'. She wrote: 'Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I'm fine!' Ironically her new song referenced a fall. She later told ITV's Jonathan Ross: 'I'm never writing lyrics like that again! The universe was trying to teach me a lesson I guess.'

+{"article": "Daily paracetamol could raise the risk of heart attacks, stroke and early death, a major study has warned . Daily paracetamol could raise the risk of heart attacks, stroke and early death, a major study warns today. It found that patients prescribed high doses of the painkiller for long periods were up to 63 per cent more likely to die unexpectedly. The risk of having a heart attack or stroke was up to 68 per cent higher and there was an almost 50 per cent greater chance of having a stomach ulcer or bleed. Paracetamol is considered by doctors to be safer than aspirin, which can cause stomach bleeds, and ibuprofen, which has been linked to heart attacks and strokes. But British researchers who looked at studies involving 666,000 patients say the risks may have been underestimated and are calling for a major review to be conducted into the drug\u2019s safety. They think paracetamol may be causing illness by preventing the action of an enzyme in the body called COX-2. Scientists from the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine looked at eight studies that contained information on patients taking paracetamol daily for up to 14 years, for conditions such as arthritis and severe back pain. They also covered patients who took the medicine less often or hardly at all. Philip Conaghan, who led the research, pointed out that for most patients the risks were very small and those given paracetamol over a long period would have illnesses likely to kill them early. For this reason it was difficult to be sure the drugs were causing problems. But the professor added: \u2018I am a bit worried that paracetamol at high dose for long periods could be associated with side effects that we hadn\u2019t previously associated.\u2019 He said patients being prescribed the drugs for long periods for arthritis or muscle and joint pain should talk to their doctor about alternative treatments, such as exercise. Published in the journal, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, the study concluded: \u2018Given its high usage and availability, a systematic review of paracetamol\u2019s efficacy and tolerability in individual conditions is warranted.\u2019 Professor Conaghan said it was not possible from the studies to work out how the average person\u2019s lifetime risk of a heart attack or stroke would increase if they took paracetamol for a long period. The risk of having a heart attack or stroke was up to 68 per cent higher and there was an almost 50 per cent greater chance of having a stomach ulcer or bleed, for those who took the drug for longer periods . Statistically, one in six men and one in ten women will die from heart attacks, strokes and other complications of heart disease. Other scientists played down the risks. Professor Nick Bateman, who specialises in clinical toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, said: \u2018Based on this study the risk is minimal. Paracetamol remains the safest analgesic available, and this study should not stop people taking it. \u2018Based on these results, the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary period is advised,", "summary": "Those taking drug for long periods up to 63% more likely to die suddenly .

After other parents and school children also mentioned seeing the drone, Bailey alerted police, who told the parents the man operating the drone is not breaking any laws. Parents were angry after a drone was seen hovering near their homes and following complaints from their children that it followed them home from school (above file photo of the DJI Inspire Quadcopter drone) Anchorage police said the man told them he was flying his $3,400 DJI Inspire Quadcopter drone as practice for an impending business venture, according to Alaska Dispatch News. The man, who has not been identified, denied claims that he followed children or flew low enough to peer into people's homes with the drone's camera. He also said other drones operate in the area. When they responded to complaints, police told the man to respect other people's privacy and to stop flying the drone near the school, Eagle River Elementary, and also near the children. As he formerly flew drones for the military and was curious about the capabilities of civilian models, the drone operator said he would not fly the drone when children were returning home from school.

Broner won a unanimous points decision on Saturday but says he copped little punishment and is in the gym . On Monday, Broner even suggested he would be prepared to come to England to fight Khan. 'I can't wait. I'd even fight him at Wembley,' Broner told BoxingNews24. Last year Mayweather hit back at Khan's claims he was running scared and told him to prove his credentials by beating Broner on the undercard of his first fight with Maidana. Floyd Mayweather hit back at Khan's claims he was running scared but chose to fight Manny Pacquaio . Mayweather tweeted: 'I don't have an easy fight on May 3, 2014, so I can't overlook @ChinoMaidana but @AmirKingKhan, if you and @AdrienBroner end up fighting each other on my show and you win (which you won't) ...

Since releases began under President George W. Bush, 116 men held in the facility famous for interrogations and orange jumpsuits have been 'confirmed of reengaging' in hostilities, according to ODNI. Of those, 23 are back in custody and 25 are dead \u2013 including some killed by American drone strikes and other military operations. But 68 are at large, including 5 released by President Barack Obama since his 2008 campaign pledge to close 'Gitmo' forever. Another 69 are 'suspected of reengageing,' and 55 of them are on the loose. James Clapper, the US Director of National Intelligence, testified in a Feb. 26 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that 2014 will go down as the deadliest year for terrorism since records were first kept . Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is a political flashpoint with Republicans wanting to keep terrorists outof harm's way and Democrats believing the facility's continued operation inflames hostilities against America . Obama's batting average looks far better than Bush's on paper. More than 20 per cent of the Guantanamo detainees released by order of the former president are once again considered enemy combatants in the war on terror. Among Obama's releases, that number barely hits 5 per cent. But a retired U.S. military intelligence officer told Daily Mail Online that the numbers are misleading. 'No one gets out of Guantanamo, goes right back to the front lines, and winds up in a CIA report in the same week,' he said Thursday. 'It can take months or years for them to feel confident enough to start waging jihad again, out in the open, with the U.S. and their host government keeping tabs on them.' 'And ODNI can only put in a public report what it can confirm. That sometimes takes even more years. So it's deceptive.' The source spoke on condition of anonymity.

Nicholas Hunter was heard saying, 'The world is going to end tonight at midnight,' before he launched a random attack on James Fiennes. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility after psychiatrists agreed he was mentally ill at the time of the attack in April last year, and was sentenced to be detained indefinitely. Attack: James Fiennes, left, was killed in a bar by mentally ill stranger Nicholas Hunter, right . Mr Fiennes, 49, was an IT consultant and entrepreneur who was the second cousin of explorer Sir Ranulph and a distant relative of actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes. The Old Bailey heard that on the evening of his death he had gone for a drink at The Tapestry tapas bar in Mortlake, south-west London, near the flat where he spent half of each week. He was a regular at the bar, and was described by staff and customers as a 'quiet, polite, kind and generous man', said prosecutor Zoe Johnson QC. She told the court that Hunter, 37, was working for an engineering company in Barnes run by his friend Thomas Olsen. His family have a 'genetic vulnerability' to mental illness and his maternal grandfather, his nephew and his brother have all been affected, Ms Johnson said. Killing: The attack took place at The Tapestry tapas bar in Mortlake, south London in April 2014 . Investigation: A police officer outside the bar shortly after the tragic incident last year . In 2005 he moved with his wife to Hong Kong to work for Cathay Pacific, but in 2011 he resigned and returned to Britain after being diagnosed with depression and prescribed anti-psychotic drugs. After his baby son was born in February 2014 Hunter reported feeling paranoid, suspicious and losing touch with reality, said Ms Johnson. 'He believed people were talking about him, following him and were going to kill him,' she added. On the day of the attack, Hunter bought a a pair of scissors from Sainsbury's during his lunch break and after work he went to Mr Olsen's home and suggested going for a drink. Shortly after he arrived at the bar he announced 'out of the blue' to Mr Olsen, 'I'm going to have a sex change', then added: 'I shouldn't have told you that, I'm going to kill you, the world is going to end at midnight tonight.' Hunter then appeared to notice Mr Fiennes and called out 'Hi James', even though he had not met the victim previously. Mr Fiennes approached him and asked how they knew each other, but Hunter just said: 'James, I'm going to have to kill you.' The attacker pulled out his scissors and stabbed Mr Fiennes repeatedly in a 'frenzied and unprovoked' attack, the court heard, before guests tackled him to the ground. Mr Olsen said the 'vicious' attack made it look 'as if he was possessed', the court was told. Relatives:", "summary": "James Fiennes, 49, was killed in a tapas bar by stranger Nicholas Hunter .

+{"article": "A lawyer for a notorious Dartmouth College fraternity accused of branding new members on their body compared it to a form of self-expression like piercing or tattooing. Alpha Delta - depicted in the 1978 film Animal House - was suspended in October for various incidents including hazing, serving alcohol to minors and hosting unregistered parties. Officials are now extending that punishment over new allegations that members were burned last fall, with one student reportedly having the skin on his buttocks seared. They are also considering closing the 46-year-old club for good depending on the outcome of discussions. A pledge of Alpha Delta (above) reportedly agreed to be branded on his backside in the fall of 2014 . Attorney George Ostler confirmed a small number of fraternity members voluntarily chose to get body brands, but the practice was never a condition of membership. He says no hazing occurred, no one was injured and members are cooperating fully with the college. News of the branding incident emerged this week via the website Gawker. A sophomore pledge of Alpha Delta reportedly agreed to be branded on his backside in the fall of 2014, according to a tipster. 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 reported. The fraternity at the Hanover, New Hampshire, school was famously depicted in the 1978 film Animal House . Dartmouth's sitting president Phil Hanlon (above) - class of 1977 - is a member of the Alpha Delta fraternity . He had to be hospitalized after it was determined the brand was infected. Medical personnel alerted the college, which is in Hanover, New Hampshire, and the school handed down a suspension. This is not the first time Alpha Delta has been linked to branding. A 1992 Rolling Stone article reported that 'a few pledges were reportedly branded against their will this year'. Alpha Delta brothers did not deny that allegation at the time. The pledge whose brand became infected is now a brother in the fraternity. Earlier this year, Dartmouth College President Philip Hanlon - who was a member of Alpha Delta in the 1970s - announced a series of reforms to eliminate problems he said were 'hijacking' Dartmouth's future that included high-risk drinking, sexual assault and a lack of inclusiveness on campus. The college is banning hard liquor on campus, ending pledge or probationary periods for all student groups to reduce hazing, developing a mandatory sexual violence prevention program and creating new residential communities. Alpha Delta was initially founded by members of the Gamma Sigma Society but dissociated from its parent corporation and renamed itself The Alpha Delta Fraternity in 1969.", "summary": "Dartmouth College's Alpha Delta has a significant record of disciplinary violations, including hazing, serving alcohol to minors and hosting unregistered parties .

Mary Gorgens, who has never been given much warning before she goes into labour, has continued her stretch of speedy deliveries giving birth to her latest child in just two minutes. Even though the 35-year-old from Sydney has earned herself a reputation of rapid-fire births, nothing could have prepared her for the latest delivery on January 30. Mary Gorgens, 35, was given just two minutes warning before she gave birth to her son Brody on the floor of her Sydney bedroom on January 30 . Rapid fire births: Mary and Simon Gorgens have had five children (Ava, Mila, Brody, Max and Sienna) and all births have been quicker than the last . Ms Gorgens went to the toilet in the early hours of the morning after feeling a slight twinge but had to quickly 'waddle' back to the bedroom when she felt her son's head starting to come out. She woke her husband Simon who stumbled to the bathroom thinking he had some time. When he came back, the 40-year-old found his wife on all fours and two minutes later he was holding his son Brody in his arms. 'I had no inkling, no feeling, no pain. He was two days early, I really wasn't expecting it that day,' Ms Gorgens told Daily Mail Australia. Luckily, the Gorgen family are used to these rapid-fire births. When she gave birth to their first child Max in December 2008, Ms Gorgens made it to the hospital with just 12 minutes to spare. The couple's eldest son Max was born in December 2008. It took just two hours from the time Mary felt the first twinge and they made it to the hospital with just 12 minutes to spare .

It also revealed that Chelsea supporters have been involved in the highest number of reported racist incidents as they travelled to and from matches on trains. It follows the high-profile case of a black man who was prevented from boarding a train in Paris by Chelsea fans as they sang a racist song, with five of them due in court this week. Chelsea supporters have been involved in the highest number of reported racist incidents . The information, gathered from 24 police forces across the country, shows there have been over 350 incidents since 2012. But as that only accounts for around half the police forces in the country, the actual figure is likely to be much higher. The charity Show Racism The Red Card said the number of incidents shows that racism is a societal problem and it was particularly shocked by the number of incidents of racist abuse at children's matches. The British Transport Police said since 2012 it had dealt with 15 incidents of alleged racism involving Chelsea fans, the most of any club in the country. Manchester United were second with 10 incidents, followed by Leeds with 10, West Ham with eight, Arsenal with four and Portsmouth with four. Chelsea fans united with a banner stating 'Black or white, we're all blue' ahead of Burnley match . A club spokesman for Chelsea said of the investigation: 'The club's position on discriminatory behaviour is clear and we work closely with relevant authorities on their investigations.' Greater Manchester Police reported 46 incidents, which included a man cleaning a toilet in a stadium being told 'that's a f****** black man's job, you f****** n*****' and a manager at a children's game being told 'I'll do you, I'm gonna wait for you outside, I'm going to do you, you f****** n*****'. The force also said that on two occasions a letter was written to a specific footballer containing racist abuse and during a game someone shouted 'what is this the United Nations, how many chinks and w*** do you need?'. Hertfordshire Police recorded 11 incidents of alleged racist abuse at children's football games, while Northamptonshire Police said that during a non-league game a man was spat at and racially abused before eventually having his leg broken in a strong challenge. Some Chelsea fans were involved in an incident on the Paris Metro, and supporters have worked hard in the aftermath to show that there is no racism at Stamford Bridge . Gavin Sutherland, campaign co-ordinator at Show Racism The Red Card, said: 'This data from police forces around the UK shows that although football clubs have taken strong action against people using racist language inside stadiums, racism is a real problem within society. 'People who exhibit racist behaviours in 2015 are doing so, in the main, away from football grounds.

George Osborne will use this week's Budget to grant the option to five million UK retirees stuck on rip-off annuity rates. Attempting to woo the 'grey vote', he will extend to them the same freedoms that have already been offered to those approaching retirement. Scroll down for video . Shadow chancellor Ed Balls challenged George Osborne to a head-to-head TV debate ahead of the general election . Mr Balls got the chancellor to shake hands on it on the Andrew Marr programme after making the offer . Mr Osborne will scrap punitive tax charges of up to 70 per cent for pensioners who want to sell their annuity income so they are taxed only at their marginal rate . Labour and consumer groups have warned the proposals could spark a new misselling scandal as pensioners who are allowed to do what they like with their cash make the wrong decisions. But the Chancellor said it was 'patronising' to suggest that allowing OAPs to use retirement funds as bank accounts would see many blowing the money on expensive holidays or fast cars. He said yesterday: 'I just think that is a very patronising attitude to take towards people who have shown responsibility, saved through their lives, saved for a pension. By changing the law we are trusting people who have worked hard and saved hard all their lives.' Mr Osborne's policy will give those who have already taken out an annuity the right to cash it in for a lump sum from April next year. A crackdown on those who illegally dump waste, from discarded sofas to vast piles of rubble, is expected to be announced in the Budget. The Environment Agency will get an extra \u00a34.2million to pursue the perpetrators of \u2018waste crime\u2019 and those who dodge landfill taxes, as well as cleaning up the damage caused.

The hostages were eventually taken to a prison in Raqqa, northern Syria, where the 'Beatles' had a room next to the prisoners, separated only by a broken glass door and a curtain. Mr Marginedas said the three masked 'Beatles' liked to burst into their cell shouting and threatening the prisoners, and always ended up 'beating' at least one of the hostages. Prisoner: Marc Marginedas, a seasoned war reporter - was held for six months by Islamic State terrorists . On one occasion he recalls how Jihadi John carried out a savage beating of one of the hostages who had been told to approach the door.

A 'sadistic' murderer has been granted clemency in Indonesia, while Australian convicted drug traffickers Andrew Chan (right) and Myuran Sukumaran (left) remain on death row . While the decision, which was apparently signed off by Widodo on February 13 but only reached Firmansyah this week, has been praised by human rights groups, they have also said it highlights the inequalities in the judicial system. The lawyer for Firmansyah hopes he will be out from behind bars in the next few years. The 27-year-old, along with two others, allegedly planned to rob and murder a mobile shop owner in Pekanbaru.

The pair may be waiting months for their execution as other prisoners pursue lengthy appeals . After the murders the group stole the shop owner's car, along with a number of mobile phones and phone credit. Their appeal to the Supreme Court earlier this year failed, but Firmansyah was then shown mercy amid the Indonesian President's tirade against convicted drug smugglers.

It has been revealed by the Indonesian attorney-general Muhammad Prasetyo that the execution of the Bali nine duo will take place at the same time as several other foreigners on death row. This could delay the pair's execution as all avenues of legal appeal for the other eight convicted drug offenders must be exhausted before their death sentence can be carried out.

He did so because, by all accounts, Harper does not fit the typical Scottish mould. He is not quite a No 9, not entirely a No 10.

And Spain\u2019s Under-19 coach Luis de la Fuente has used his birth certificate to try to recruit him. Marvellously, however, Harper does not want to play for Spain. His parents are from Barrhead. He wants to play for Scotland. Incredibly, Scotland seems less keen on him.

The Home Secretary made a scathing attack on the harm caused by the fugitive \u2013 who stole 1.7 million top-secret documents from America\u2019s National Security Agency and GCHQ.

Mrs May said that - in the few weeks since the law was changed \u2013 five suspected jihadis had been subjected to a new power allowing for the seizure of their passports. Police are now assessing whether the extremists can be charged with any criminal offences.

Derided as a symbol of the David Moyes regime, ridiculed by his own fans and, lately, held responsible for Louis van Gaal\u2019s occasional lurch towards route-one football, the big Belgian has had more weighing on his shoulders than that trademark mass of curly hair. So the standing ovation he received from the majority of Manchester United supporters when he came off against Tottenham at Old Trafford last weekend will have been music to his ears. Marouane Fellaini fires Manchester United into the lead against Spurs, a reminder of his footballing ability . The Belgian trains ahead of United's crucial clash with Liverpool on Sunday, where he is sure to be involved . Fellaini has grown from a bit-part player last season to become a vital member of Louis van Gaal's squad . A well-taken opening goal with his left foot served as a reminder that Fellaini\u2019s attributes are not just sandwiched between his chest and his head. There are those who will never accept that he is a true United player, who believe his very presence encourages United to play other than the United way. But as he prepares to make his first appearance on Merseyside since moving from Everton when Van Gaal\u2019s side take on Liverpool on Sunday, the 6ft 4in midfielder has every right to feel that things are looking up. The \u00a327.5million white elephant of Old Trafford has been reinvented as United\u2019s not-so-secret weapon. The advanced role that Van Gaal has given to Fellaini led Sam Allardyce, of all people, to label his opponents \u2018Long Ball United\u2019 after the 27-year-old\u2019s introduction off the bench helped salvage a 1-1 draw at West Ham last month.

Wayne Rooney celebrates with the big Belgian, who has scored five times for United this season . Fellaini was tainted, somewhat unfairly, by being the only signing made during David Moyes' summer in charge . Van Gaal doesn\u2019t care. \u2018Fellaini is a player that, when we cannot beat the pressure with quality, we can always beat with pressure \u2014 that is a quality,\u2019 says the Dutchman. The transition from defensive midfielder, who first impressed Moyes playing for Standard Liege against Liverpool in the Champions League in 2008, to target man worked particularly well for Everton. But, unlike Van Gaal, Moyes did not feel comfortable deploying Fellaini in a similar role at Old Trafford, having drawn enough criticism merely for signing him when Cesc Fabregas was his priority in the summer of 2013. Disastrously, Fellaini ended up as United\u2019s only signing and Moyes knew that he risked being accused of turning the Premier League champions into a poor imitation of Everton. The player was said to be ecstatic at signing for United, if a little overawed at the scale of the club. He struck up an immediate bond with fellow Belgian Adnan Januzaj and, later, Juan Mata, when the Spaniard joined the following January.

The team swept the board and came away with 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th positions - and the victory provided Ford with the ideal opportunity to launch a new production car from their UK plant. In honour of the rally car triumph, they named this special edition road version the Escort Mexico. The car has a maximum speed of just 100mph and does 0-60mph in 10.7 seconds.

The parent, from Rotherham, told officials that he thought his children benefited from being smacked.

But a judge has now ruled that his 'entrenched' views were harmful to their children. A father who believed he had the right to smack his two young children has had them taken into care by social workers following a ruling at the High Court in London (pictured) The man has now had his third child, a six-month-old girl, taken into care by Rotherham Council officials. It comes after his middle child, now aged three, was also taken into care. It is not clear whether the man's eldest child is in care, although there have also been care proceedings issued in relation to that child. Handing down the judgement at the High Court, Judge Sarah Wright said she made the decision because there was no prospect of the father ever changing his 'domineering behaviour'. She added that the children's mother could not protect the youngsters from her partner's need to have 'total control' over his family. She said: 'It was clear to me that she cannot separate herself from the father and from his entrenched views. 'Sadly, she has put him before her children.

Parkinson faces Reading \u2013 where he spent 11 years as a player \u2013 at Valley Parade on Saturday knowing that another upset would see Bradford return to the national stadium in the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in more than a century.

They are pastimes that millions of us do every week to keep relatively fit and healthy. Dancing, gardening and walking up hills are all well-known as simple exercises that would help to fight the flab. But the health watchdog NICE believes we should be given official guidance to remind those who don\u2019t bother - and that we should keep a daily diary alongside details of meals, snacks and drinks. The watchdog warns to pay particular attention to lattes, high protein drinks, nuts and alcohol which contain hidden calories they may not realise they have consumed. It is estimated that a quarter of adults in the UK are obese although this is projected to increase to almost two thirds by 2050. The condition is thought to cost the health service and economy \u00a316 billion a year through medical treatment, sick days and benefits.

Don't undo good work at the gym by drinking protein shakes or high sugar sports drinks afterwards. Avoid calorific coffees like lattes \u2013 and the muffins and cakes that come with them.

The Debt Management Office estimates that Britain has paid some \u00a35.5 billion in total interest on the loans since 1917.

Welbeck's pitch map from the Lithuania match shows his influence right across the front line . Welbeck has scored eight goals in 29 appearances for Arsenal this season but has six in four qualifiers for England. On a productive night, Welbeck blasted in the shot that led to Wayne Rooney's opener, stooped to divert home England's second, had three other shots on goal and tormented the Lithuanian defence with his pace, power and passing. The goal augmented his international goal tally to 14 - drawing level with Paul Scholes - and he duly became the leading scorer in Euro 2016 qualifying with six goals, one ahead of Israel's Omar Damari. Welbeck's touch map showed his influence right across the field, switching places with Rooney and Raheem Sterling in a dynamic front three that linked up seamlessly throughout. The only dampener on the evening was the knee injury that will force him out of Tuesday night's friendly with Italy in Turin.

Because he looks a man transformed on international duty - while with Arsenal, the wide berth is regarded as something of a snub, inhibiting his performance. With England it somehow plays to his strengths. With the Three Lions on his chest, Welbeck is content and confident, raising his game to a level rarely seen for the Gunners.

+{"article": "Laser beams could help detect cervical cancer at an early stage, say researchers from China. The new technique involves firing pulses of light, more of which is absorbed by cancerous cells than by healthy tissue. The way the cancer cells react to the light means they can then be picked up on an ultrasound scan. The scan can show not only if someone has the disease, but also potentially how advanced it is. The way the cancer cells react to the light from the laser beams means they can then be picked up on an ultrasound scan . More than 3,000 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed each year in the UK, with around 1,000 women dying from it. Almost all cases are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), often spread during sex. There are more than 100 types of HPV, many of which are harmless. But some can disrupt the normal functioning of the cells of the cervix and can eventually trigger the growth of cancer. Cervical smear tests are used to screen for abnormal cells \u2014 and the results may lead to a physical examination (where the cells are examined in situ using a microscope) and then a biopsy. A CT or MRI scan is performed only if the biopsy suggests there is cancer. Although cervical screening \u2014 offered to all women over 25 \u2014 has led to a large drop in the numbers affected by cervical cancer and in deaths, lesions can be missed and visual examinations can also lead to unnecessary biopsies. The new technology, known as photoacoustic imaging, requires neither a biopsy nor a smear test. It works on the principle that cancerous tissues (and possibly even pre-cancerous cells) absorbs more light than healthy tissue. This is because of changes in cancerous tissue such as the formation of new, abnormal blood vessels and fewer collagen fibres (a tough, connective tissue). Cervical smear tests are used to screen for abnormal cells \u2014 and the results may lead to a physical examination (where the cells are examined in situ using a microscope) and then a biopsy . The cancerous tissue can then be picked up on an ultrasound scan because the extra energy absorbed from the light is converted into heat, which causes the cells to expand and affects the way soundwaves bounce back to the scanner, creating an image of the cells with cancerous changes. Photoacoustic imaging could also identify the stage of the disease without a biopsy, say the researchers. This is because the more advanced the disease, the greater the amount of light and energy absorbed by the cells; these areas then look even more pronounced on a scan. The technique has so far been tested on tissue samples from 30 women \u2014 some with cancer and some who were healthy \u2014 which showed that it can distinguish between the two. \u2018We have shown for the first time that photoacoustic imaging has the potential to make better diagnoses and help save lives,\u2019 say the researchers from Central South University, China.

From what he has seen in his first season in the Aviva Premiership with Gloucester, Laidlaw reckons England\u2019s players are anything but invincible. They are good, he says, but no better than those currently wearing the dark blue. Scotland captain greig Laidlaw (above) insists that England are not invincible ahead of Saturday's clash . \u2018I\u2019ve always thought highly of the England players but seeing them down there just shows me that we can win,\u2019 said Laidlaw. \u2018They are not invincible, that\u2019s definitely not the case. \u2018I believe they are good players but you look at Glasgow Warriors when they played Bath in Europe this season and how well they did. \u2018Bath were going well in the Premiership but Glasgow beat them at home and arguably could have won down there, too. It wasn\u2019t really Glasgow\u2019s first team as they had a lot of injuries that day \u2014 and it probably was close to Bath\u2019s first team.\u2019 Laidlaw\u2019s emotions are running high ahead of the Calcutta Cup clash, especially after team-mate Stuart Hogg told Sportsmail he feels there is a lack of respect for Scottish rugby south of the border. Laidlaw made a similar point before the start of the Six Nations, based on the experiences of his first season with Gloucester, following his move from Edinburgh. Scotland full back Stuart Hogg (left) accused the English of lacking respect for Scottish rugby . For Laidlaw, a win at Twickenham will not only belatedly ignite Scotland\u2019s Six Nations campaign, following defeats to France, Wales and Italy, it will give him bragging rights in the Gloucester dressing room and make him even more proud to be a Scot south of the border. \u2018Respect has to be earned and that is something we\u2019ll be aiming to do at the weekend,\u2019 he said. \u2018The England boys will respect us if we do a job on the field. \u2018We\u2019re not far away from getting things right but I\u2019m getting pretty sick of telling people that, I really am. It\u2019s up to us as players to step up, go again and put in that performance against England. \u2018We have had some tough talking from the coaches this week and rightly so since the defeat to Italy \u2014 but it has been good as we have been shooting ourselves in the foot a lot of the time and we have to change. \u2018We have now seen both sides of Vern Cotter this week. He is a hard man and rightly so. He has high standards and we have certainly seen what he is all about \u2014 and that\u2019s good. We know what is expected of us and he is a very clever coach who wants to make sure we come away from Twickenham with a positive result.\u2019 Laidlaw also has two very personal reasons for wanting to lead Scotland to what would be a famous victory at Twickenham.", "summary": "Scotland face England at Twickenham in the Six Nations on Saturday .

The word - used as a derogatory term for gipsies or travellers - was part of a \u2018running gag\u2019 between Clarkson and fellow presenter James May about their colleague Richard Hammond\u2019s perceived cheap style. A complaint was lodged by the Traveller Movement charity after it appeared on a placard in a Top Gear episode from February last year. Top Gear hosts: The word 'pikey' was part of a \u2018running gag\u2019 between Jeremy Clarkson (right) and fellow presenter James May (left) about the perceived cheap style of their colleague Richard Hammond (centre) The BBC Trust acknowledged that the word \u2018pikey\u2019 derived from \u2018turnpike\u2019 and so related to Travellers in a ruling due to be published today. But the Trust\u2019s Editorial Standards Committee said there had been \u2018no intended racist reference\u2019 by the Top Gear team. The ruling stated: \u2018The committee believed the word \u201cpikey\u201d had evolved into common parlance among a number of people to mean \u201cchavvy\u201d or \u201ccheap\u201d and \u2026 viewers would not necessarily associate it with the Gipsy and Traveller communities.\u2019 But a Traveller Movement spokesman told the newspaper: \u2018We are horrified by the BBC\u2019s green-lighting of the use of the word \u201cpikey\u201d by the Top Gear presenters. Embattled presenter: The future of Clarkson (pictured leaving his house in London yesterday) at the BBC is in doubt amid claims that he punched a producer in North Yorkshire . Ruling: The BBC committee said it \u2018accepted that the word \u201cpikey\u201d did have the potential to be deeply offensive to the Gipsy and Traveller communities\u2019 (file picture) \u2018The claim that it has evolved a new meaning and that most people do not realise it has any reference at all with Gipsies and Travellers is absolute rubbish.\u2019 The word 'pikey' is believed to have been used as early as the 16th century. But it was not seen in print until 1837, when The Times used it to describe strangers who visited the Isle of Sheppey. The actual origins of the word are unclear. It could be connected to the word 'turnpike'. These were toll roads, which had rotating barriers made of sharp poles called pikes - and vagrants were known to gather in these areas in the 18th century. An alternative version of the word is 'piker', which is said to have come from the verb 'to pike' - which once meant to run away. Now, the word is used as an insulting term towards gipsies - who have claimed in recent years that it is the equivalent of calling a black person a 'n*****'. It is also used in the modern day as a term to insult someone of supposedly low class. The BBC committee said it \u2018accepted that the word \u201cpikey\u201d did have the potential to be deeply offensive to the Gipsy and Traveller communities\u2019, but it cleared the programme of wrongdoing.

A talented athlete has died weeks after being diagnosed with a rare cancer that affects people who have had an organ transplant.

He recovered so well that he had taken up competing in tough triathlons and regularly went running with his mother. But the popular 17-year-old student was told he had post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) in January - a devastating cancer that affects the white blood cells in around one in 50 people. Medical staff were initially confident that chemotherapy would cure him. But he failed to respond to treatment and died on Monday surrounded by family. His mother Janet, from Bodham, Norfolk, said last night: 'David had a strength and depth that just amazed me. 'He was kind, good-natured, had a lovely smile, was very well-mannered, and caring and considerate to his younger brother Howard - they were best friends.' The 48-year-old added that David had become her friend as well as her son over the last couple of years.

Li (circled) was caught on CCTV eating the poisoned lolly before he played hide and seek . This is the spot where Li picked up the poisoned lolly . Deadly: This is the lolly that Li ate, reportedly . Tragically, the lolly was covered in a substance 100 times more toxic than cyanide. His pals ran to get help and found Li's dad Jin Hsueh, 45 who discovered his son, still unconscious, was bleeding from his eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth.

The lolly that Li put in his mouth was covered in TETS, or tetramethylenedisulfotetramine. It's an odorless and tasteless poison that's fatal for humans in quantities of just 7 to 10mg and above. It is 100 times more toxic than cyanide and there is no known antidote. It was banned around the world in 1984 but still finds its way into China in rat poison, as it's very easy to produce. A hospital spokesman said: 'His internal organs had been destroyed by the poison and his blood had turned black.' Doctors fought to save him for two days before little Li succumbed to the poison and died. Tests carried out on the lollipop which the boy still had on him showed that it had been coated in TETS, a highly lethal neurotoxin found in rat poison. Its use worldwide has been banned since 1984 but is still readily available in China, although illegally. Now police suspect someone close to the family may have been responsible for his death. A police spokesman said: 'We have checked the location of where the lollipop was in the family's yard and we found a couple more.

Mikhail Ivan Gallatinov, 40, who was jailed in 1997 for what a judge labelled a \u2018callous, chilling killing\u2019, married fellow prisoner Marc Goodwin, 31, yesterday, it has been reported. Goodwin was the leader of a gang that roamed the streets of Blackpool looking for homosexuals to attack. He was jailed for life with a minimum of 18 years in 2007 after being found guilty of murdering Malcolm Benfold, 57, who was beaten to death. His trial heard that he and two friends had agreed to go \u2018gay bashing\u2019. Wed: Mikhail Ivan Gallatinov (right), 40, who was jailed in 1997 for what a judge labelled a \u2018callous, chilling killing\u2019, married fellow prisoner Marc Goodwin (left), 31, yesterday . According to reports, the 15-minute ceremony, during which the prisoners wore suits, was attended by four family members. Mr Benfold's sister, Wendy Bridge, from Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside has previously spoken out against the wedding. 'I don\u2019t object to a prisoner having a wedding, but when its two murderers getting married to each other, that\u2019s wrong,' she told the Liverpool Echo. 'Marriage should be something to aim for when they get out, to build a home and a new life with someone,' she added. It came at no cost to the public purse, a Prison Service spokesman said. 'We are very clear that if prisoners do get married, the taxpayer does not foot the bill for the ceremony and they are certainly not allowed to share a cell,' he added. It is believed that the couple had considered a civil partnership until a change in the law in March last year made homosexual marriage legal in Britain. Goodwin and Gallatinov \u2013 who strangled 28-year-old gay man Adrian Kaminsky \u2013 met while behind bars, according to the Daily Mirror. Gallatinov, of Manchester, who previously served a prison sentence for sexually abusing children, was jailed for a minimum of 20 years for the murder of Mr Kaminsky \u2013 meaning he could be eligible for parole in two years. The convicted murderers wed at HMP Full Sutton, Yorkshire (pictured) and was the first gay wedding in a British prison . There was a 15-minute chapel ceremony at HMP Full Sutton, Yorkshire, which was attended by four of their relatives, according to The Sun . He spoke to his victim on a gay chat line before luring him to his home. At the time of his sentencing, Judge Rhys Davies QC said the murder was \u2018a cold-blooded, well planned, callous, chilling and apparently motiveless killing\u2019.

The twins born today cannot be torn apart because they share vital organs but Soetomo Hospital has reportedly performed separation surgeries on 53 conjoined twins in the past. According to a Jakarta Post report, only two of those surgeries failed because of 'anatomy and heart abnormalities in the babies'. Conjoined twins occur about once in every 200,000 live births and their survival is 'anything but assured' according to the University of Maryland Medical Centre. It claims 40 to 60 per cent of conjoined twins arrive stillborn and tragically, about 35 per cent only survive for a single day. The are genetically rare and always the same sex because they develop from the same fertilised egg and share the same placenta. 'Twinning' occurs either when a woman releases two eggs instead of one or she produces an egg that divides after it has been fertilised. Although there are many different types, the most common form of conjoined twins is thoracopagus which means they are combined at the upper torso like the baby girls in Indonesia. These twins share a heart which - depending on how closely they are joined - makes it 'nearly impossible to separate them and save them both'.

The Barclays Premier League derby between the two clubs at Villa Park on Tuesday ended in a 2-1 victory for the hosts after a stoppage-time error from Ben Foster saw the Baggies and England shot-stopper give away a penalty that was converted by Christian Benteke. Pulis spoke up for Foster - who has kept six clean sheets in all competitions since the Welshman took over at Albion - after the game. Ben Foster is not guaranteed to keep his place against Aston Villa in the FA Cup quarter-finals . Foster brought down Matthew Lowton to concede a penalty against Villa in Premier League clash on Tuesday . Christian Benteke scored from the spot to give their midlands rivals a late victory at Villa Park . And while refusing to say outright whether or not the 31-year-old would keep his place at the weekend, the head coach once again had praise for Foster at his press conference on Thursday to preview the cup tie. Asked about his goalkeeper selection for Saturday's game, Pulis said: 'I'll be telling the goalkeepers first before I tell you! 'Boaz Myhill has had an injury with a finger, which we have to take into account. 'With the number of clean sheets he has kept (12 overall this season), Ben has been absolutely fantastic. 'Everybody makes mistakes. Goalkeepers get highlighted, like referees, because it can cost you games.' Baggies boss Tony Pulis has backed his No 1 without confirming Foster will keep his place on Saturday . Saido Berahino celebrates while being chased by his team-mates, after netting his 18th goal of the season . With regard to referees, another notable incident from the latter stages of Tuesday's game saw Villa defender Alan Hutton make a nasty-looking challenge on West Brom striker Saido Berahino and the pair square up to each other before each being booked. It appeared Hutton was lucky not to have been sent off by referee Jonathan Moss. And while Pulis was keen on Thursday to avoid hitting out at the official for not doing so, he did once again express his desire for there to be a referral system for managers during games where they get 'two calls' each, something he has spoken about in the past. 'I've seen the challenge back,' said Pulis. Alan Hutton appeared to raise his studs into Berahino's leg during Aston Villa's win over West Brom . Berahino goes down in pain on the touchline following Hutton's nasty challenge on Tuesday . Hutton and Berahino squared up after the challenge (left) and were both booked by referee Jonathan Moss .

That was more than four hours longer than in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the average work week was about 44 1/2 hours. Commuting time made up just under 3 1/2 hours of that.

Security guards, for example, on average spent more than eight hours a week commuting. 'Nursing and home health aides and maids and housekeepers also report long commutes, while chief executives, taxi drivers and physicians and surgeons report the shortest commutes,' the report said. In a statement, Stringer said 'New York is America\u2019s hardest working city, but it\u2019s a one-two punch for lower wage workers, who get paid less and travel longer to get to work. 'This means employees in the Big Apple get paid less than it appears on an hourly basis, because their commutes are significantly greater than anyone else in the country.' The report found that 'In New York City, workers in the finance sector, on average, work the longest workweeks. With usual work schedules topping 47 hours, New York City financial workers spend, on average, almost four hours more per week working than do their counterparts in other large cities.' It also said that workers in advertising, media, computer, legal services, arts and entertainment, food service, and retail trade have longer hours compared to people with jobs in those industries in other major US cities. 'But longer workweeks are not characteristic of all New York City industries,' the report said. City workers in manufacturing, real estate, and health care, for example, work fewer hours in a typical week than do workers in those industries in other large cities.' Stringer said the report showed a need for the city to expand its transit networks, as well as promote flexible work arrangements along with predictable scheduling.

Gerrard accepted the decision to send him off after he had only been on the field for just over 30 seconds in a post-match interview. Atkinson did not let Herrera escape as he cautioned him for the late challenge which provoked Gerrard\u2019s retaliation. Atkinson was always going to come under pressure from Liverpool players and fans to \u2018level things up\u2019 and there were opportunities to do that the most notable 10 minutes later when Phil Jones mistimed a strong challenge on Jordan Henderson. The incident was merely a poorly timed tackle and I thought that a yellow card was appropriate but Jones could just have easily seen red. Late in the game Liverpool fans screamed for Wayne Rooney to be sanctioned when he caught Simon Mignolet but he had been blocked off by Martin Skrtel and that caused the collision. Liverpool could easily have lost a second player at the very end of the game when Skrtel followed through on David De Gea but Atkinson showed a consistent approach and let the game end in a deserved away win.

In five months she transformed herself from a size 22 to a size 12/14 by losing six and a half stone and now hopes to become pregnant naturally. Scroll down for video . Natalie Southerden, 31, from Halifax, has lost more than six stone and dropped five dress sizes, after spending the \u00a34,000 she saved for fertility treatment on a weight loss scheme (Pictured left: before and right: after the diet) Natalie's decision to lose weight was triggered by a humiliating, five-minute interview with her GP after a year of trying to conceive with husband John, 41, a music teacher who she met eight years ago. She said: 'The GP was horrible. He said he would not send me for any tests -he just took my hand and said \"well you are very overweight, aren\u2019t you?\" 'I felt patronised. I knew I was overweight but I didn\u2019t expect him to refuse to do anything for me at all.' She continued: 'I was told to go away and come back when I had lost three stone.' Natalie felt she had reached a low point in life but now admits that day was the trigger for her amazing transformation. She said: 'I felt so upset and angry, I hate going to the doctors and really had to gear myself up to go there in the first place.' Followers of the Alevere regime eat five meal replacements a day as well as three low calorie meals made with normal food. They also have skin tightening treatments to stop their skin sagging from the rapid weight loss . Natalie was a size 22 and weighed 18 and a half stone, despite being a top martial artist, practising Taekwondo regularly for 14 years, and even winning the English championship in her category. She said: 'We were fit and healthy and I felt I deserved to be tested to rule out any underlying conditions that we were unaware of, and treated with more respect. 'But I also really want to have children, so I decided I would so something about it.' Natalie initially tried a weekly slimming group and lost a stone - but it took her eight long months. She said: 'I worked out that if I carried on at that rate I would be 35 or 36 before I could conceive. 'My husband is ten years older than me so I decided I didn\u2019t have that much time.'

The devastating criticism was delivered by Professor Diane Reay, who accused the universities of \u2018accentuating elitism\u2019 among the privileged. She added that black and white working class students were still small in number and marginalized, despite drives to attract more youngsters from poorer backgrounds. Oxbridge has been branded \u2018institutionally racist\u2019 and a \u2018finishing school for the private school system\u2019 by a Cambridge University (pictured) academic . The professor of education at Cambridge University called for further measures to ensure more students from disadvantaged backgrounds were admitted. In a report by the race relations think tank the Runnymede Trust, Professor Reay said working class students at Cambridge saw the university as a \u2018a white, middle class bubble\u2019. She said her research suggested that \u2018positive discrimination\u2019 was at work in Oxbridge, bestowing advantage on the already advantaged. Figures released last year showed Oxford has the lowest proportion of state school pupil entrants \u2013 57.4 per cent \u2013 of any university in England, once small and specialist higher education institutions are excluded. At Cambridge, 63 per cent of undergraduates admitted were from state schools. In the Runnymede report, Aiming Higher: Race, Inequality and Diversity in the Academy, Professor Reay suggested varying success rates of different applicant groups demonstrated \u2018institutional racism\u2019. Policies such as rarely accepting candidates with less traditional qualifications, not catering for part-time students and not allowing undergraduates to work during term time effectively rule out the majority of working class and particularly black and ethnic minority candidates, she said. In 2013, 25.4 per cent of white students applying to Oxford won a place. The success rate of Bangladeshi and Pakistani students was under seven per cent, while black Caribbean students had a 14.3 per cent conversion rate and Black African students a 13 per cent success rate. The devastating criticism was delivered by Professor Diane Reay, who accused the universities of \u2018accentuating elitism\u2019 among the privileged (file picture of Oxford University) At Cambridge, black Caribbean applicants had a 24.3 per cent chance of success compared to 29 per cent for White applicants. The figure for black African students was 9.2 per cent, and Bangladeshi and Pakistani students 13.8 and 13.6 per cent respectively. She said: \u2018Oxbridge remains the equivalent of a finishing school for the private school system, polishing, refining and accentuating the elitism and sense of superiority acquired in earlier schooling.\u2019 The academic suggested that affirmative action, such as quotas for certain groups, were needed to counteract \u2018the growing class and race inequalities that are pervasive across the higher education sector\u2019.

The independent inquiry will be highly critical of how, despite a string of baby deaths, watchdogs gave an NHS trust the all clear only one month before the last general election. Today\u2019s report is expected to conclude that between 2004 and 2011 there were a series of missed chances to step in at every level, from the hospital to the Department of Health. Tragedy: Joshua Titcombe was nine days old when he died from an infection that should have been treated with antibiotics at Furness General Hospital, Cumbria . Up to 30 babies and mothers are thought to have died because of failings by midwives and doctors at Furness General Hospital in Barrow. Investigators are thought to have examined around 50 cases where poor maternity care has been alleged. The findings will again put Labour in the dock over its stewardship of the health service, revealing appalling care over years under the last government. The official report into care at the unit, run by University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, will paint a damning picture of what went wrong, with echoes of the Mid Staffs hospital scandal, according to Whitehall sources. Former Labour health secretary Andy Burnham was informed about concerns over maternity care at Morecambe Bay in January 2010. Up to 30 babies and mothers died at Furness General Hospital because of failings by midwives and doctors, a damning report is expected to reveal . Locally, the alarm was first raised in 2008 when nine-day-old Joshua Titcombe died on a ward at Furness. An inquest heard midwives and medical staff made ten serious errors that contributed to Joshua\u2019s death, including a failure to detect and monitor an infection. His parents repeatedly asked if he should have antibiotics and complained he was wheezing and not feeding properly. He eventually died from blood poisoning. Medical charts subsequently went missing and the coroner raised suspicions that they may have been deliberately destroyed. Health officials tried to cover up their failure to investigate poor patient care, it is claimed. Mr Burnham, now Labour\u2019s shadow health secretary, has repeatedly denied being made aware of \u2018specific warnings\u2019 about the hospital or putting any pressure on the Care Quality Commission to tone down criticism of the NHS ahead of the 2010 election. Grief: James and Hoa Titcombe lost their baby son Joshua in 2008 . But David Morris, Conservative MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale, said he was \u2018surprised and disappointed\u2019 that Mr Burnham had not been interviewed by the inquiry, chaired by Dr Bill Kirkup, a former Department of Health associate medical director who also served on an investigation into Hillsborough. \u2018It\u2019s hard to understand why the inquiry hasn\u2019t listened to parents who wanted Andy Burnham to be questioned,\u2019 Mr Morris said. \u2018They should disclose the reasons why they decided not to call him.\u2019 Joshua\u2019s father James Titcombe, who was appointed to the CQC in 2013 to try to prevent", "summary": "Up to 30 babies and mothers died at Furness General Hospital .

Now, scientists believe the first four-limbed vertebrates, known as tetrapods, that lived 360 million years ago may have been more like modern crocodiles than previously thought. They were able to reconstruct the skull of one of these animals in 3D from fragments of fossils that have been found in East Greenland. Scientists have reconstructed a 360 million-year old tetrapod's skull from bone fragments, to reveal it was similarly shaped to a modern day crocodile's. The top image shows the articulated cranium and lower jaws, in the middle the image shows the right facial skeleton in an 'exploded view' and the inside of the sutures and the bottom image shows the lower jaw also in an 'exploded' view. Individual bones are shown in different colours . Acanthostega gunnari lived between 380 and 360 million years ago when animals made the transition from the sea to land. Scientists are fascinated by the species because it is thought to be crucial to understanding the anatomy and ecology of the earliest tetrapods. However, after hundreds of millions of years buried in the ground, fossils are often damaged and deformed. They found that the reconstructed skull had a longer postorbital region and a more strongly hooked lower jaw than previously thought, making it relatively similar to modern crocodiles. A saltwater crocodile is shown . The evolution of hind legs began as enhanced fins, according to a study publsihed last year. Researchers discovered a well-preserved pelvis and a partial pelvic fin from a 375 million-year-old fossil of a transitional species, Tiktaalik roseae, between fish and the first legged animals. The find challenges the existing theory that large, mobile hind appendages were developed only after vertebrates transitioned to land. Corresponding author of the study Doctor Neil Shubin, of the University of Chicago, said: 'Previous theories, based on the best available data, propose that a shift occurred from \"front-wheel drive\" locomotion in fish to more of a \"four-wheel drive\" in tetrapods. 'But it looks like this shift actually began to happen in fish, not in limbed animals.' The fossil was discovered in 2004 and represents the he best-known transitional species between fish and land-dwelling tetrapods. A lobe-finned fish with a broad flat head and sharp teeth, Tiktaalik looked like a cross between a fish and a crocodile, growing up to a length of nine feet as it hunted in shallow freshwater environments. To reconstruct the skull of the species from numerous pieces, scientists from the University of Bristol put fossil specimens of Acanthostega gunnari from East Greenland into a CT scanner, before using a computer programme to assemble it. They found that the reconstructed skull had a longer postorbital region and a more strongly hooked lower jaw than previously thought, making it relatively similar to a modern crocodile's skull.

Young student union activists have asked other conference delegates to wave with 'jazz hands' instead of clapping or cheering speakers in case it 'triggers anxiety' among nervous members. Hundreds were asked to wave in silence because other people found 'whooping' to be 'super inaccessible'. The request was made at the National Union of Students' annual Women's Conference in Solihull, West Midlands, which started yesterday. NUS Women's Campaign tweeted: 'Whooping is fun for some, but can be super inaccessible for others, so please try not to whoop! Jazz hands work just as well.' They then followed that with: 'Some delegates are requesting that we move to jazz hands rather than clapping, as it's triggering anxiety. Please be mindful! #nuswomen15'. Critics have said the messages had 'damaged feminism'. Tara Hewitt tweeted: 'This damages real equality nothing from conference will make a difference today but \"jazz hands\" nonsense damaged feminism'. Others lampooned the instructions online. @JLat55 tweeted: 'Open palms can be triggering. Well, so can closed ones... you should just ban any outward expression of approval.' The suggestions got more ridiculous and ironic with @BookGeek-T tweeting: '@nuswomcam @Little-G2 hi, jazz hands can be triggering because of the quick movement of the hands. I vote blinking rapidly instead. Thanks'. Despite the jokes the NUS has said that it is important that they are inclusive. Nona Buckley-Irvine, General secretary at the London School of Economics Students' Union, said: 'Jazz hands are used throughout NUS in place of clapping as a way to show appreciation of someone's point without interrupting or causing disturbance, as it can create anxiety. 'I'm relatively new to this and it did feel odd at first, but once you've used jazz hands a couple of times it becomes a genuinely nice way to show solidarity with a point and it does add to creating a more inclusive atmosphere.' Practical example: This woman shows how jazz hands should be done - but NUS delegates were urged not to make any noise doing it . LSE SU women's officer Gee Linford-Grayson added: 'As someone who is new to the NUS conference culture it surprised me at first, but actually within a few rounds of jazz hands applause it began to make a lot of sense, as loud clapping and whooping can be intimidating and distracting when you're speaking on stage.

Jim Cowie's The Captain's Galley has beaten top eateries to be named the top sustainable venue in the UK . Mary Cowie, left, tends to the herbs in the restaurant's poly tunnel, while Jim Cowie, right, prepares an oyster in the venue's sustainable kitchen . The couple renovated the town's old Ice House and Salmon Bothy in 2001 - dating back to the early 1800s - and opened their doors in October 2002. They worked exclusively with local tradesmen to build the 30-seat restaurant, and saved one of Caithness's most interesting buildings from falling into ruin. All of the restaurant's seafood is from wild, sustainable non pressure stock species, in season, from local like minded, inshore fishermen. 'Few restaurants can boast that their supplier and best friends are all the same people,' says Jim Cowie. The Captain's Galley is situation in Scrabster, Caithness, one of the most northern points of Scotland . The cosy Old Bothy is where guests have drinks before sitting down to their meal in the restored Ice House . 'We think more of our customers than to fill them up with chemicals [from fish farms] of which nobody knows the long-term effects.' Mr Cowie was a fish auctioneer on fish markets for 35 years. He saw the decline of the fish industry years ago and at the age of 52 decided to completely change career. He went to the North Highland College to train as a chef, and his wife Mary gave up her nursing career of 30 years to work beside her husband as front of house. Their son Ashley, a TV host on The History Channel and recently dubbed 'Scotland's Indiana Jones' is also a director of the company and is as hands on as possible when he is up from London. 'From time to time, on a full moon, I go rod fishing for wild sea trout,' he says. 'It is so delicious and Dad is thrilled when I bring some home for him to cook for the restaurant.' An expert in local history, Ashley explains the suitability of the restaurant: 'Caithness was the first area in the UK to adopt farming as a lifestyle around 4000BC.' 'The Captains Galley maintain this tradition by selecting and serving the best veg from the richest agricultural soils in the UK. 'My father is a more a craftsman than a chef. Where most chefs spoil fish by over cooking it and smothering it with sauces, he gently cooks the fish and let's the wild", "summary": "The Captain's Galley in north-east Scotland was joint winner with Daylesford, which has three organic caf\u00e9s in Cotswolds and Kensington .

Smoke and flames erupt from the scene, in which a train carrying 103 cars loaded with crude oil, on Thursday near Galena, Illinois . The BNSF Railway freight train loaded with crude oil derailed around 1.20pm in a rural area where the Galena River meets the Mississippi . Only a family of two agreed to leave their home, Galena City Administrator Mark Moran said at a news conference late Thursday, adding that the suggestion to evacuate was prompted by the presence of a propane tank near the derailment. The derailment occurred three miles south of Galena in a wooded and hilly area that is a major tourist attraction and the home of former President Ulysses S. Grant. The Jo Daviess County Sheriff's Department confirmed the train was transporting oil from the Northern Plains' Bakken region. Earlier in the day, Moran said eight tankers had left the track.

According to the Association of American Railroads, oil shipments by rail jumped from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 500,000 in 2014, driven by a boom in the Bakken oil patch of North Dakota and Montana, where pipeline limitations force 70 per cent of the crude to move by rail. Emergency responders from Wisconsin and Iowa joined the Illinois teams in an attempt to stop the fire, but for safety reasons retreated . Since 2008, derailments of oil trains in the United States and Canada have seen 70,000-gallon tank cars break open and ignite on multiple occasions, resulting in huge fires.

The incident came just days after a United Airlines flight diverted to Chicago following a fight between two passengers over a reclined seat. United Flight 1462 from Newark, New Jersey to Denver was forced to make an emergency landing at O'Hare International Airport Sunday after a female passenger threw water at a man seated behind her who used a device known as Knee Defender to stop her from reclining her seat on the four-hour flight. The two passengers, both age 48, were interviewed by Chicago police, who deemed the incident a 'customer service issue,' according to Transportation Security Administration spokesman Ross Feinstein. Edmond Alexandre's anger saw him force an American Airlines plane to make an unscheduled landing . The plane then continued to Denver without them, arriving 1 hour and 38 minutes late, according to the airline's website. The Federal Aviation Administration can impose a civil fine of up to $25,000 for passengers who are unruly. In this case, no arrest was made, according to airport spokesman Gregg Cunningham. And then just days after the incident involving Mr Alexandre, a row between two women over a reclined seat led to the diversion of a New York to Palm Beach Delta flight to Jacksonville. According to the airline, the diversion was 'due to safety reasons in regard to a passenger issue' but Florida television station WPTV reported that the plane rerouted due to a dispute over a reclining seat. A man used a 'seat defender' on board one flight last year that prompted the woman in front to throw water over him - and that flight was also diverted (devices circled) Passenger Aaron Klipin told the station a woman sitting next to him got into an argument with a passenger behind her.

However, researchers claim men are particularly attracted to a women with a back that curves exactly 45 degrees above the top of her bottom. The findings provide a new explanation as to why voluptuous celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez are considered to be so attractive, with extra mass around the buttocks enhancing the curvature of the spine. Such an angle would have given a woman an advantage while pregnant in early hunter-gatherer societies and so has evolved as being seen as attractive around the world, they claim. Perfect angle: Jennier Lopez has an attractive curve as scientists discover that extra mass around the buttocks can often enhance the curvature of a woman's spine . J-Lo, pictured above, may have the ideal spine curvature that evolved to be attractive in early hunter-gatherer societies because it gave women an advantage to forage for food while bearing children . Kim Kardashian, shown above, has become famous for her curvy figure and buttocks, but her appeal to men may be tapping into something rooted in our evolutionary past when they gave an evolutionary advantage . The scientists found that extra mass around the buttocks could often enhance the curvature of a woman's spine. However, the researchers also found that a physical curvature of the spine - known as vertebral wedging - was seen as more attractive than extra buttock mass. Curvy hips and buttocks may provide vital 'fat banks' that help to fuel the development of newborn babies' brains, claim scientists. Researchers say the fat stored around the buttocks provides extra energy for babies when they are breast feeding. The scientists at Pittsburgh University say the fat there is rich in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which is a particularly important component in the human brain. Over the past five million years, the average human brain has trebled in volume from 400ml to 1,200ml. It could therefore follow that women have had to become fatter to keep up with the growing demands of babies\u2019 brains. The researchers argue that mothers who breast-feed typically lose one pound of fat (half a kilo) a month. Dr David Lewis, a psychologist at Bilkent University in Turkey, said: 'It's an independent and previously undiscovered standard of attractiveness. '(The curve) would have enabled ancestral women to shift their centre of mass back over their hips during pregnancy, a time during which there is a dramatic forward shift of their centre of mass. 'This benefit is critical: without being able to do this, women would experience a dramatic increase in hip torque (pressure) subjecting them to risk of muscular fatigue and injury.

The tricky part was putting the landmarks in order to eliminate as much driving back on himself as possible. Zoom in on this interactive map to find the best road trip route across Europe . The man behind the 'Where's Waldo' algorithm has created a road trip route revealing the best way to visit 50 US states. The resulting 13,699-mile route would take 9.33 days of non-stop driving if you had the road to yourself . Rather than looking at every possible solution, Randy Olsen used something known as a 'genetic algorithms' which starts with just a few random solutions.

The resulting 13,699-mile route would take 9.33 days of non-stop driving if you had the road to yourself. In his blog, Mr Olson explains how he used information from Google Maps API and wrote code to discover the optimum distance to drive to all 50 landmarks. This was the same code he had previously created to discover Waldo \u2013 or Wally in the UK. 'With 50 landmarks to put in order, we would have to exhaustively evaluate 3 x 1064 possible routes to find the shortest one,' he wrote. 'If you started computing this problem on your home computer right now, you'd find the optimal route in about 9.64 x 1052 years \u2014 long after the sun has entered its red giant phase and devoured the Earth.

In 2002 Labour increased National Insurance tax by 1 per cent as part of a budget introduced by then Chancellor Gordon Brown specifically to pay for major improvements in the NHS, notably cancer care. But only this month figures showed that waiting times for scans are at their highest in seven years while a report by MPs warned of \u2018unacceptable\u2019 variation in care. Data analysed by Macmillan shows that 81 per cent of breast cancer sufferers in Britain survive five years. This is a lower rate than France, Sweden and Italy in the late 1990s, when the figure was 83 per cent. In these countries the survival rates are now 86 per cent or higher. For bowel cancer, 54 per cent of Britons can expect to survive five years, whereas in the late 1990s it was already 59 per cent in Finland and 55 per cent in Norway, the Netherlands and France.

There have been seven cases in England and Wales of five to nine-year-old girls with the condition, according to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health's National Paediatric and Diabetes Audit. Doctors said they have treated cases of boys aged seven, though none were recorded in the audit. There were a further 146 cases in girls aged ten to 14 and 64 cases in boys of the same age group, bringing risk of damage to eyes and kidneys, as well as heart attacks. The illness most commonly occurs in the over 40s and prior to the year 2000, no case had ever been recorded in the under 18s. But academics have recorded a sudden increase over the past two decades which is almost certainly down to obesity, our sugary diets and lack of exercise. They have also noted that the illness advances much more rapidly compared to adults and they quickly develop complications. By the time they have reached their early teens, a number have suffered damage to their eyes and kidneys and are expected to have heart attacks in their 30s. The document also warns that there are huge variations in the care offered to children and young people with diabetes \u2013 most of whom have type 1. Although the overall standards of treatment have improved, those living in the more deprived areas are less likely to have vital check ups . Just under 27,000 children, teenagers and young adults have diabetes of whom more than 97 per cent have type 1, which is believed to be genetic. Dr Justin Warner, clinical lead for the audit, said: 'On the one hand the picture is positive; the quality of care for children and young people with diabetes is improving and we're getting better at ensuring care processes are met. 'Yet the challenge we face is also growing, with more children being diagnosed with diabetes and some displaying early signs of potentially serious long term health problems. 'This is a lifelong condition where tight overall diabetes control is important to reduce the risk of complications later in life. 'This requires a close partnership between healthcare professionals delivering care and children and families with diabetes.' Last year academics revealed that they were treating children as young as seven with type 2 diabetes.

Some of the exhibits show that the Vikings were keen tradesmen . The co-curator of the exhibition, Viking expert Gareth Williams, told the Guardian that although the Vikings' reputation was 'justified' their society was in fact 'so much more than murder and violence'. He said: 'It\u2019s a bit like the English football hooligans in the 1980s. They attracted the headlines and some people began to think all English people were like that. Which obviously is untrue.' The museum, in Falmouth, has gathered artefacts from the British Museum, Ireland, Denmark and the Isle of Man for their exhibition Viking Voyagers. One of the exhibits showed bronze cloak and scarf pins found on the shoreline of the Isle of Man and coins from north Africa or the Middle East.

Another display shows a large bone comb with iron rivets dating back to the 9th or 10th centuries. Mr Williams told the Guardian: 'Despite the popular image of Vikings as wild and shaggy looking, bone and antler combs are very common finds.' The display also shows toiletry sets for women that include earscoops for digging out wax. As well as artefacts showing the Vikings interest in personal grooming, the collection also includes a brooch complete with bear heads. Mr Williams added: 'Those look like teddy bears to me.

With the average wait for an infant heart being six months, Dravyn's chances looked slim so his family were amazed to get the call after after just two days on the transplant list. Mother, Nicole Eggleton, who was 22 weeks pregnant when she learned of his condition, said she spent the rest of the pregnancy in fear. 'I never bought him clothes. I never got anything.

Doctors had initially thought that his heart could be repaired with a series of corrective surgeries in the first few years of his life. At just 23 days old, Dravyn Johnson is UCLA's youngest heart recipient in 25 years. Pediatric heart surgeon, Brian Reemtsen, said they were worried he would not live long enough for surgery. He said of the heart: 'It had such severe disease that we were afraid that the baby could arrest or die at any moment.'

Incredibly, within two days of being on the list, a donor was found and the operation was able to go ahead.

But a new book about Rupert Brooke\u2019s affair with suffragette Phyllis Gardner reveals the shocking truth about the poet a century after his death. He was a celebrity of his age, lauded by Winston Churchill as among \u2018England\u2019s noblest sons\u2019, and described by WB Yeats as \u2018the handsomest young man in England\u2019. But the writer of celebrated poems such as The Soldier is now shown to have been a fierce opponent of women\u2019s rights who privately declared, \u2018All women are beasts\u2019. The book, The Second I Saw You: The True Love Story of Rupert Brooke and Phyllis Gardner, draws on forgotten letters between the pair, as well as Gardner\u2019s unpublished memoir. Brooke died from septicaemia in April 1915 as a Royal Navy reserve officer on his way to take part in the Gallipoli landings after a mosquito bite became infected. He was just 27 and the book is being released by The British Library to mark the centenary of his passing.

It was under this strain that Brooke\u2019s true feelings began to surface, with him declaring: \u2018All women are beasts! And they want a vote - but they\u2019ll never get it,\u2019 an insult to Gardner\u2019s suffragette activities.

The players were given no time to mull over their European exit after they were taught a lesson over two legs to find themselves on the wrong end a 3-1 aggregate result. After such a commanding performance by the La Liga leaders captain Vincent Kompany was forced to admit that Manchester City are still a long way behind the very best in Europe. 'The reality is they were a better team, there is no shame in admitting that. For me there is a big, big difference. 'I will just mention Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and then there are the rest of the teams, with Real Madrid probably in between.

'Of course we want to make up the gap but you just have to be true to yourself. We have the ambition to be as good as they are one day, but it is not going to happen overnight.' City's exit meant that England will not have a representative in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the second time in three seasons. 'The gap will eventually get closer,' said Kompany.

If Gary Neville was watching, he may well have given a knowing nod. The former Manchester United star spoke at length in the build up to this match about how City are unbalanced in a 4-4-2 when they play Aguero, Silva and Yaya Toure. Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero cuts a frustrated figure during Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Leicester . David Silva jumps for joy and punches the air after giving Man City the lead at the Etihad Stadium . Silva proved his point - literally - sending the Argentine tumbling to the floor before many had even taken their seats. Neville's wider point was that the trio - breathtaking when on the front foot but seemingly out of breath when asked to defend - are a luxury Manuel Pellegrini can ill afford when up against the cream of Europe. With all due respect to Leicester they are not the cream of Europe, rather the dregs of the Premier League, but they proved his point more than once at a pancake-flat Etihad. From the kick-off Toure wandered into the visitors' half. It was where he would spend most of the match. The Ivorian's lack of an appetite for hard work did not go unnoticed among the blue-collar faithful. After one run, in which he was felled on the edge of the box but failed to win a free-kick, he stayed down for what seemed like an eternity.

It was all too much for one punter in front of the press box who wasted no time in getting to his feet. 'Get up you lazy g**' was his frustrated shout. Nobody told him to shut up. Against cellar dweller opponents who have four wins from 26 attempts it was unimpressive stuff and perhaps an indication of why, before this encounter, City had just nine points from a possible 21 in the Premier League. It would be remiss, however, to deny that when it works (and it has won them two titles) it works well. For the opener, Toure's surging run ended with a pass to Silva in space.

+{"article": "A British artist living in Dubai has created a collection of tongue-in-cheek posters, depicting life as an ex-pat in the United Arab Emirates. Clare Napper, 36,used her artistic skills to gently poke fun at everything from ubiquitous holiday snaps in front of the Burj Al Arab building to the childcare and home help habits of foreigners living in Dubai. The former Saatchi & Saatchi graphic designer said the poster collection is a celebration of one of the world's most dynamic and cosmopolitan cities. Scroll down for video . Making Dubai holiday snaps since 1999: Graphic artist Clare Napper's take on the obligatory Burj Al Arab holiday photo . 'Thank goodness for nanny': Many ex-pats lead a priveledged life in Dubai, employing domestic help, which is the subject of this poster . Napper, from London, juxtaposed the striking modernity of the UAE with a vintage style, similar to the popular travel and tourism adverts that materialised in the 1930s and 1940s when commercial airlines were really taking off, typified by French artist Roger Broders. Inspired by the good life led by ex-pats in Dubai, Napper first got the idea when working on a campaign for the Dubai Metro at Saatchi & Saatchi. 'Dubai is a new city and there are none of these old commercial printed ads, so I thought it could be a nice new art space to explore here,' she tells MailOnline Travel. Dubai is known for its many high-end shops, which Napper addresses in this 'Poverty Sucks' poster of ex-pat surrounded by purchases . One of the themes in Napper's illustrations is to poke good-natured fun at the frequency with which ex-pats employ hired help, such as maids .

Jobs had been suffering serious health problems as a result of his pancreatic cancer and by January 2009 - two years before his death - was in urgent need of a liver transplant. On learning this, Cook was so upset he took it upon himself to have his blood tested and found that he happened to have the same rare blood type as his good friend and mentor. Scroll down for video . Apple CEO Tim Cook (left) tried to offer his liver to his ailing mentor and predecessor Steve Jobs (right), a new book claims. Here they are pictured together during a product question and answer session . In Becoming Steve Jobs, a new biography by technology reporter Brent Schlender and Fast Company executive editor Rick Tetzeli, it's revealed that Cook discovered it was possible to transplant a portion of someone's liver to a recipient. Because it is a regenerative organ, the transplanted portion will grow to a functioning size, while the donor's liver would also repair. Bouyed by the findings, Cook visited Jobs at his home in Palo Alto to relay the good news. But Jobs outright refused. 'He cut me off at the legs, almost before the words were out of my mouth,' said Cook in the biography, according to Fast Company. '\"No,\" he said. \"I'll never let you do that. I'll never do that\". Somebody that's selfish doesn\u2019t reply like that. 'I mean, here\u2019s a guy, he\u2019s dying, he\u2019s very close to death because of his liver issue and here\u2019s someone healthy offering a way out.' Cook insisted that he was 'perfectly healthy' and stressed that the procedure would not put him at risk. But Jobs 'popped up in bed' and told him: 'No, I'm not doing that.' Cook said Jobs had very rarely ever shouted at him during the 13 years they had known each other, but 'this was one of them.' Even though he was gravely ill, the tech guru worked on Apple on the last very last day of his life, phoning colleagues from the confines of his bed with new ideas. He died at his home on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. The most commonly understood type of liver transplant involves the removal of a diseased liver to be replaced with a healthy liver taken from a deceased donor. However, another type of transplant has emerged in recent decades with developments in technology and medical techniques - the 'living donor liver transplantation.' This involves removing between 50 - 70per cent of the healthy liver from a living donor which is then transplanted into the recipient. Because of the liver's regenerative qualities, both the donor and the recipient can live with minimal complications and can regrow fully functioning livers based on the pieces they share.

The proposals could see pharmacists stationed in surgeries to help meet the day-to-day needs of patients with long-term conditions, including diabetes and asthma. Instead of seeing a GP, those patients could be given an appointment with a pharmacist. They would also liaise with hospitals, community pharmacists and care homes to ensure patients received seamless care. Experts said the move would cut the time patients have to wait for appointments, while also addressing the chronic shortage of GPs at a time when there is an oversupply of pharmacists. Pharmacists are to be drafted into GP practices to help ease pressure and combat a shortage of family doctors in the NHS, under new plans . Many GP surgeries already work closely with pharmacists, and the proposals would see them working as part of the general team, in a similar way to practice nurses, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) said. Maureen Baker, chairwoman of the RCGP, said a 'hidden army' of pharmacists could provide the solution to the pressures facing family doctors. She said: 'Waiting times for a GP appointment are now a national talking point - and a national cause for concern, not least amongst GPs themselves. 'But, even if we were to get an urgent influx of extra funding and more GPs, we could not turn around the situation overnight due to the length of time it takes to train a GP. 'Yet we already have a 'hidden army' of highly trained pharmacists who could provide a solution. 'Practice-based pharmacists, working as part of the clinical team, would relieve the pressure on GPs and make a huge difference to patient care. 'This isn't about having a pharmacy premises within a surgery, but about making full use of the pharmacist's clinical skills to help patients and the overstretched GP workforce.' GP surgeries are predicted to make 370 million patient consultations this year - 70 million more than five years ago. An ageing population and an increase in those patients needing treatment for long-term and complex conditions, including diabetes and heart disease, is, in part, the cause of the mounting pressure. The RCGP said according to their research, there will be 67 million occasions when patients will have to wait a week or longer to see a GP or practice nurse this year. Pharmacists train for five years, one year less than a doctor and a year more than a nurse. As such, the RCGP, which is being backed by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, has argued they are ideally placed to treat patients directly within GP practices. The RCGP is calling for general practice funding to be increased to 11 per cent of the NHS budget by 2017 - currently it stands at just over eight per cent. Furthermore, the College is calling for 8,000 more GPs in England by the end of the next Parliament.

Democrats used 13.6 positive words for every negative and Republicans used 11.5 positive words per negative. 'We're not saying liberals are happier, they behave happier,' said study co-author Peter Ditto, a professor of psychology at the University of California Irvine. 'But conservatives report being happier.' Other studies have reported that conservatives tend to score higher on tests that rate how satisfied with life they are, but University of California Irvine graduate student Sean Wojcik, the study's lead author, decided to look deeper. He looked at other indicators of happiness: words and facial expressions. The researchers examined 18 years and 432 million words of speeches in the Congressional Record, concentrating on 2013. Democrats used 13.6 positive words for every negative and Republicans used 11.5 positive words per negative. That higher rate for liberals was apparent regardless of who controlled Congress or the White House, Ditto said. For a laughing Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., this rings true: 'A lot of what seems to fuel Republican energy is anger-based. They're angry about Iran. They're angry about Obama. ... And you hear that on the floor constantly.' That's not the feeling at the office of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., where a sign above the congressman's door reads 'Fighting for Freedom and Having Fun.' His spokesman Ken Grubbs said, 'A day at the office here ... is never without lots of laughs.' Political scientist Jack Pitney said the Wojcik study was so off kilter that it seemed to be a parody, adding 'I don't think too many people will take this seriously.' A professor at Claremont McKenna College, he had many questions about the way the study was conducted and said conservatives in general want less government so this would be reflected in the language they use when talking about government. One study team member, who initially wasn't told what the project was about, examined congressional portraits to rate their facial emotions, an accepted technique in psychology.

Adam Goldstein, a professor in family medicine, says exposure is as abusive as leaving children unattended in hot car, or drink driving. He claims he was forced to speak out after caring for 'too many children hospitalised with asthma and pneumonia, caused in large part to their repeated exposure to secondhand smoke'. Adam Goldstein, a professor in family medicine, says exposing children to secondhand smoke is 'as abusive as leaving them unattended in hot car, or drink driving' His controversial opinion piece has been published in the latest issue of the Annals of Family Medicine. In it, he argues that purposefully and repeatedly exposing children to a something known to cause cancer in humans would strike many people as child abuse. 'But what if the substance is secondhand smoke?,' he asks. Dr Goldstein, who is director of the tobacco intervention programs in the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, says the damage from smoke is 'as abusive as many other commonly accepted physical and emotional traumas of children'. His comments come after years of caring for children who have suffered severe respiratory illness due to secondhand smoke exposure. In the opinion piece, he writes: 'Scientific research over the last decade has increasingly demonstrated that exposure to secondhand smoke is not simply a nuisance; it is deadly. 'Secondhand smoke exposure causes multiple diseases in children, including asthma and pneumonia, and results in thousands of avoidable hospitalisations. 'It is a major cause of sudden infant death syndrome and may cause lung cancer and heart attacks with repeated exposure. He argues that purposefully and repeatedly exposing children to a something known to cause cancer in humans would strike many people as child abuse . 'No safe level of exposure exists. '[Therefore], purposefully and recurrently exposing children to secondhand smoke - a known human carcinogen - despite repeated warnings, is child abuse.' In the paper, he goes on to explain how he and his colleagues treated two children of smokers 'at least 10 times over three years'. Despite repeated attempts to get the parents to quit, they continued to smoke - and the children, aged 5 and 7, repeatedly visited the clinic with ear infections, coughing, bronchitis, and asthma. In the end, the younger child developed pneumonia, he says. After treating her with antibiotics and inhalers,' Dr Goldstein and his colleagues implored the parents to stop smoking - or at least avoid smoking anywhere near the children - and offered them counselling. 'The parents, however, refused to engage with us about quitting smoking, pharmacotherapy for cessation, or about not letting their children be exposed to cigarette smoke,' he says. Shortly after, the child appeared in the emergency room with a recurrence of pneumonia and severe asthma.

It came as more information emerged about the drifter, whom friends say was mentally ill and battling drug addiction. Referring to him as 'Booth', 'Cameroon' or 'Africa' - references to his home country - fellow Skid Row vagrants say he lived in a tent on the streets and often read the Bible. Police chiefs have insisted their officers only killed the man because he was trying to snatch an officer's handgun and turn it on him - but the claims didn't wash with people on the scene.

The TaxPayers' Alliance said the real problem was Britain's 'restrictive planning regulations' \u2013 an issue the Isa failed to tackle.

Jonathan Harris, of mortgage broker Anderson Harris, added: 'Yesterday's Budget announcement about the Help to Buy Isa is a welcome boost for first-time buyers. 'However, we would like to see a greater emphasis on building more homes. There is a danger that giving first-time buyers assistance with a deposit will only push up property prices further.'

The city awoke Monday yet again to its accustomed blanket of white - but this time it had a special significance, as the latest 2.9 inches pushed the city into unprecedented territory of 108.6 inches in one season. But, though temperatures in Massachusetts are regularly above freezing now, there could still be new flurries to take the record even higher before spring sets in.

According to the Weather Channel, Friday night could bring an extra fraction of an inch. Meanwhile predictions from AccuWeather note the chance of snow around 7am Wednesday, and a vaguer prediction of a snow/slush downfall on Saturday night. The previous record was 107.9 inches, which was set in the winter of 1995-96. The records cover more than a century, going back to 1872.

Celebration: The Boston branch of the National Weather Service posted this celebratory image 'congratulating' the city on months of unrelenting snow . The final 2.9 inches came in a snowstorm that was relatively tame after a record-setting monthly snowfall of 64.9 inches in February. The worst previous single month was January 2005 when 43.3 inches fell. This official winter snowfall, measured from December through February this year, was 99.4 inches. That was the snowiest for the winter period, beating 91.5 inches in 1993-94. The season snowfall record is measured from July 1 through June 30, and takes in autumn and spring. Forecasters note snow can still mount up this year. March 1993 had 38.9 inches, and March 1916 had 33.

At one point, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) public transport was not running at all and had no subways or buses. Meanwhile, flights to and from Boston's Logan Airport were canceled. It's been a brutal winter for many people across the East Coast of the United States with non-stop snow storms.

+{"article": "Businesses attacked Labour last night over plans to force companies to share profits with employees. Senior party figures are said to be considering a proposal to oblige all firms with more than 50 staff to set up a profit-sharing scheme. Workers would then be handed a regular cash sum based on their employers' financial position. Senior business leaders have lined up to predict that Ed Miliband is a potential 'catastrophe' for the country . Labour last night said the idea was not official policy, although a shadow minister said it was being considered at the top of the party. But senior business leaders warned the plan would encourage employers not to take on staff. It is the latest in a string of damaging clashes between Labour and business leaders \u2013 who have lined up to predict that Ed Miliband is a potential 'catastrophe' for the country. Glen Cooper, chief executive of Midlands bollard makers ATG Access, said: 'We need Britain's small companies to grow bigger, not be stifled by Labour's meddling. 'This idea will make companies stop taking on employees rather than grow. I am happy to run my own scheme to motivate my employees, but I don't want to be dictated to by Labour.' The Labour policy would mirror the situation in economically feeble France, where companies with more than 50 employees have extra obligations, such as the establishment of a workers' council. It has been reported that such burdens are costing 140,000 jobs, and President Francois Hollande wants to repeal them. Charlie Bradshaw, managing director of Matrix APA, a product design company with 60 staff, said: 'Forcing companies to share profits when they hit 50 employees, just as France seeks to repeal similar laws, will threaten jobs' Simon Walker, of the Institute Of Directors, said: 'We cannot believe that the Labour leader will take such an obviously counterproductive measure seriously. 'Employee profit sharing can work well for companies who choose it, but it has to be up to them. This idea would give companies with 49 employees a very strong incentive not to grow. 'The French government is actually attempting to reduce the bureaucracy that kicks in at 50 workers because they know it is damaging job creation.' Mr Thomas, chairman of the Co-op party, said the policy was being considered at the highest levels . Charlie Bradshaw, managing director of Matrix APA, a product design company with 60 staff, said: 'Forcing companies to share profits when they hit 50 employees, just as France seeks to repeal similar laws, will threaten jobs. 'Small companies should be run by the people who know their culture and staff best, not by central government.' There are around 36,000 companies with 50 or more employees in Britain, employing a total of 12.9million. It means the suggested legislation would therefore affect about 53 per cent of those employed in the UK.

+{"article": "Half of the terror attacks carried out or plotted in Britain involve members of just one extremist network, a new report reveals. Al-Muhajiroun, a banned organisation once fronted by hate preacher Anjem Choudary, has been linked to a series of atrocities and plots dating back to 1997. A new book by terrorism expert Raffaello Pantucci has now found that since its formation in the 1980s, the group has been central to Islamic extremism in the UK. More than 20 terror attacks plotted or carried out in the UK - including the 7/7 bombings which killed 52 people - have been linked to extremist network al-Muhajiroun in a new report . It is thought the first known violence directly linked to the group took place in 1997, when a member of the organisation attacked a police officer. At least one of the bombers who carried out London's 7/7 bombings had met a key supporter of al-Muhajiroun, Omar Khyam, before the attacks which killed 52 people on underground trains and a bus in 2005. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, who murdered Fusilier Lee Rigby in a street in Woolwich, south-east London in 2013, had both attended events organised by the group. Despite having been banned in 2005, the group has morphed to take on a series of other names, and its influence continues to be felt, with Brustholm Ziamani, who was sentenced last week for plotting an attack inspired by that on Lee Rigby, also having been inspired by al-Muhajiroun. Research shows that out of 51 attacks and plots carried out or foiled in Britain, al-Muhajiroun had influence in at least 23. Mr Pantucci, who studies extremism for defence forum The Royal United Services Institute, said the group sold its followers a radical interpretation of Islam which often inspired them to commit violence. He told MailOnline: 'It is an oversimplification just to write them off as outcasts or losers, some of them have been involved in quite serious gang activity or crime in the past and end up finding this as a kind of redemption for their activity. 'You also have to remember that some of the top figures are quite charismatic people who are good at drawing people in and given them these very aggressive ideas.' Hate preacher Anjem Choudary (left) was once a leader of the group before it was banned. Supporter Omar Khyam (right) met up with at least one of the London bombers before they carried out the 2005 attack . Al-Muhajiroun was set up by Omar Bakri Mohammed (left), pictured with radical cleric Abu Hamzu (right) Mr Pantucci said that the group's influence had been underestimated in the past and hoped his book - whose title We Love Death As You Love Life is taken from quotation by one of the 7/7 bombers - would encourage politicians to crack down on the organisation and its spin-offs. He added: 'These people are very good at being in the periphery and the background without ever having their hands on the device or being directly implicated in plots, which would see them", "summary": "Group linked to more than 20 plots or attacks carried out since 1997 .

Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on the Decision Not to Have Kids was edited by Los Angeles-based author Meghan Daum, 45, who curated the essays of 16 writers, including Lionel Shriver, Sigrid Nunez, Kate Christensen, Elliott Holt, Geoff Dyer and Tim Kreider, for her new book, which is slated for release on Tuesday. But the anthology doesn't take jabs at those who've decided to have children, rather it takes a look at how others have come to the decision that parenthood is not for them in a culture that worships parenthood. Being honest: Meghan Daum edited 16 writers' essays about their decision to forgo having children in her new book Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on the Decision Not to Have Kids . Just the two of us: Ms Daum, who doesn't have children, posed for this selfie with her husband . 'These essays have so many people talking about the ways that they do have relationships with kids, nieces or nephews or kids that they mentor,' Ms Daum told Flavorwire. She added: 'You\u2019ve heard the clich\u00e9 \"it takes a village\", but there are so many ways of being a responsible villager.' The writers who contributed to the book candidly explained about how they came to the decision to live a child-free existence without judgement - which is a refreshing take on a unnecessarily controversial choice that is often met with confusion and criticism. For her book, Ms Daum sought out the perspective of both men and women, although a majority of the essays in the collection are from female writers. 'I think we could be wary of the assumption that parenthood is the only way to be an adult,' Ms Daum told the outlet, noting that 'it's less taboo to say, \"I'm a shallow person\" than to say that this isn't for me.' Major debut: Ms Daum's new collection of essays will be published on Tuesday . While most conversations about parenting revolve around how women 'can have it all,' this book suggests that maybe they don't want to - or even need to. Ms Daum first thought about sharing the stories of childless adults from a variety of professions and walks of life, but she chose to curate her book with essays from writers because of their ability to 'interpret the world' in a responsible way. Most of the writers featured in the anthology are over the age of 30, Ms Daum said she 'did not have an age cutoff', but noted that it would be difficult to have someone in her twenties make a public declaration that she would never have children.

England's confidence is running high after they thumped Lithuania 4-0 on Friday to stretch their post-World Cup winning streak to seven matches. They know a much stiffer test lies around the corner though. Italy find themselves in the midst of a crisis after coach Antonio Conte received death threats from angry Juventus fans who blame him for causing Claudio Marchisio to break down with a serious knee injury. Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson will change up his starting XI for the friendly against Italy on Tuesday night . The Azzurri are also without experienced campaigners Andrea Pirlo and Daniele De Rossi, but they are still by far the toughest opposition England have faced since their winless and joyless campaign in Brazil. Hodgson's plans have been turned completely upside down after nine squad withdrawals, though. The likes of Chris Smalling, Kieran Gibbs, Andros Townsend, Theo Walcott and Ross Barkley are likely to get a chance in Turin and with competition for places increasing, particularly in midfield and attack, Hodgson wants to see encouraging signs from those who step in. 'We've got a tougher test ahead of us against Italy and we will be playing that game with players we wouldn't normally rely upon,' the England manager told FA TV. England fringe players will get a chance to impress manager Roy Hodgson during a friendly in Turin . 'There are an awful lot of people in the squad I count on that we've lost, but what it means is for those who are still with us, many who are relatively untried, there will be a chance for them to show that my faith in selecting them for this squad was justified.' Hodgson confirmed on Saturday that Danny Welbeck, Raheem Sterling, James Milner and Leighton Baines would all return to their clubs. Southampton full-back Ryan Bertrand is the only replacement so Hodgson now has 20 players - including three goalkeepers - to choose from. Those left are an inexperienced bunch.

'It's the pinnacle of your career to represent your country.' Mason's route to the top has been far from straightforward. He signed for Tottenham's academy as a 16-year-old and just 12 months later he made his debut in a UEFA Cup match against NEC Nijmegen. But he then had to wait another six years until he made his Premier League debut. Former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp farmed Mason out to Yeovil, Millwall and Doncaster, where he had three loan spells. Redknapp's successor Andre Villas-Boas then sent the player to French club Lorient but he returned without having made a first-team appearance. Kane made his Spurs debut six years ago, but has spent the intervening time on several loan deals . Neither Harry Redknapp or Andre Villas-Boas saw a place for him in the first team, but he is now showing form . Mason started last season on loan at League One Swindon and did not feature under Tim Sherwood at Spurs once Villas-Boas had been sacked. Mason is grateful to Pochettino, therefore, for finally giving him a chance at White Hart Lane this season. 'I've always had confidence in my own ability, but it also comes from a manager who trusts you and is willing to back you. There is nothing like that as a footballer,' said Mason, who has played 29 times for the Argentinian this year.

Benjamin Pettitt beat Dr Robert Davis so badly after he attended his home in Tewkesbury, Gloucester, that police called to the scene were unable to see if the doctor was still alive, because he was covered in so much blood. The 33-year-old began attacking the doctor with a baseball bat, before the frenzied assault escalated and Pettitt began trying to 'bite chunks' out of his victim's face. Pettittt then grabbed a knife to inflict numerous lacerations, as his horrified relatives called paramedics and police - who were forced to taser Pettitt.

And now Beyonc\u00e9 is set to follow in the footsteps of Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand by taking the coveted part in the latest version of A Star Is Born. The film would provide Beyonc\u00e9, 33, with her biggest role yet, playing an unknown who rises to stardom as her famous husband's career spirals downwards. The movie will be directed by American Sniper actor Bradley Cooper, who is also expected to play the leading man. The female lead was first created by Janet Gaynor in the original 1937 version, appearing with Fredric March. The movie was remade in 1954 with James Mason and Garland \u2013 who, like Gaynor, was rewarded with a Best Actress Oscar nomination \u2013 and again in 1976 with Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. 'Beyonc\u00e9 feels this could be her big Hollywood breakthrough,' says a movie insider. 'It's a role she has wanted for years. She's shown that she can act in Austin Powers: Goldmember, and held her own singing in Dreamgirls, but this is her chance to prove her dramatic range and maybe even win an Academy Award.' Hollywood studio Warner Bros has been trying to remake the film for years, negotiating with potential leading men including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Christian Bale. But now Cooper, 40, fresh from his Oscar-nominated success in American Sniper, has come to the fore. He will first be appearing in the West End in May with his hit Broadway production of The Elephant Man.

Ms Bishop made the offer in a letter written to her Indonesian counterpart, Retno Marsudi, on March 5 saying Australia would pay the bill if the country rejected a prisoner swap offer. The letter, reportedly addressed 'My dear Retno', formally made the one-off offer to swap three convicted Indonesian drug smugglers for Chan and Sukumaran. Scroll down for video . Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has offered to cover the cost of life imprisonment for Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan if Indonesia agrees to call of their executions . Ms Bishop (pictured at a vigil for the two Bali Nine ringleaders in Canberra) made the offer in a letter written to her Indonesian counterpart, Retno Marsudi, on March 5 . Ms Bishop noted the Indonesian prisoners were convicted of importing 390kg of heroin to Australia - 47 times the amount Chan and Sukumaran's co-convicted were caught trying to smuggle out of Indonesia. 'As discussed, the Australian Government would be prepared to cover the costs of the ongoing life imprisonment of Mr Chan and Mr Sukumaran should a transfer not be possible,' she wrote. 'The vast majority of Australians very strongly support the government's efforts to seek clemency for Mr Chan and Mr Sukumaran. 'We would not want to see their execution compromise the strong ties we have worked so hard to foster over many years.' Ms Marsudi, in a letter of reply dated March 8, rejected the possibility of a prisoner exchange but did not touch on the reimbursement offer. 'Let me reiterate that there is no legal basis within the Indonesian law that would allow for such exchange to take place,' she said. Sukumaran (centre) and Chan are in quarantine conditions on Nusakambangan island off Java awaiting execution after they were transferred from Bali's Kerobokan prison . The letter, reportedly addressed 'My dear Retno', formally made the one-off offer to swap three convicted Indonesian drug smugglers for Chan (pictured) and Sukumaran . Indonesian President Joko Widodo previously ruled out a prisoner swap arrangement. Ms Bishop also listed alleged corruption from judges in the trial as one of the reasons their executions should be stopped, according to the West Australian. 'A Judicial Commission has invited Mr Chan, Mr Sukumaran and their original lawyer to make statements in a matter relating to alleged corruption of the trial judges,' she wrote. 'These are serious allegations and I request that your Government accord due legal process and institute a pause in the execution preparations.' Diplomatic tension has been high regarding the case with an Indonesian minister threatening to release a 'human tsunami' of asylum seekers towards Australia if the government continued to fight for a stay of execution for the Bali Nine duo. The warning came from the coordinating minister for political, legal and security affairs -Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno - to remind the government who was working to keep asylum seekers away from Australian shores, according to Fairfax Media.", "summary": "Julie Bishop made offer in letter to Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi .

Faced with a car blocking the route following Sunday's funeral, no owner in sight and no tow truck near enough to move it in time, over a dozen of Robert Wilson III's fellow policemen pitched in to move it themselves. 'We just moved the car,' explained Springfield Township Corporal Shawn Hart. It was a last ditch effort as countless mourners looked nervously at the car blocking their path. Emotional: Philadelphia cops from various departments pitched in to move this car from the funeral procession route of their fallen colleague with their bare hands . Hero: Wilson helped protect a video game store full of people when he was gunned down by robbers . 'I just asked some guys in line for a hand. They came over and we moved it to the side,' Hart told NBC Philadelphia. 'The procession was able to get past and that was it. After the procession came by [the car's owner] jumped in his car and moved it out of the way before the hearse came down.' No one is sure exactly how many officers pitched in or from which departments they came. 'There were so many,' Hart told NBC Philly.

In his final, courageous moments, Officer Robert Wilson III took on two armed robbers and gave his life to save those around him \u2014 an act so noble that Philadelphia's police department will rename its valor medal in his honor, police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said. Ramsey recounted Wilson's heroism during the slain officer's funeral on Saturday, telling thousands of mourners it was the greatest act of bravery he has seen in his 46-year law enforcement career. 'Robert redefined what valor means, in my mind,' Ramsey said. Surveillance video of the March 5 encounter at a GameStop store in north Philadelphia captured the 30-year-old Wilson's unflinching response, Ramsey said. The gunmen burst in as the 8-year department veteran waited in line to purchase a game for his son, who had excelled in school and was turning 10 in a few days. He instinctively moved from the counter to draw the suspects' gunfire away from innocent bystanders and returned fire, Ramsey said. More than 50 shots were fired during the fierce gunbattle, investigators said. 'He never stopped until that fatal round was fired,' Ramsey told the assembled crowd, many of whom were law enforcement officers from across the country whose dress uniforms formed patterns of blues and tans inside the Palestra sports arena.

Ex-Coronation Street star Scott Wright, who played Sam Kingston in the soap, conducted a unique experiment to show just what men should be wearing to find love on Tinder. He wore five different outfits and discovered that going topless garnered the most matches (it probably helps that he's a personal trainer) By far the most popular of 40-year-old Scott's looks was when he stripped off for a topless profile picture. Within minutes of his profile going live, Scott had 28 matches from attractive women all eager to engage with the star, who now combines acting with a successful career as a fitness guru. This profile was seven times more successful that Scott's least popular profile - where he was dressed smartly in a work jacket and shirt, which attained just four matches. Once he posted each profile, he sent out 100 likes to women near where he lives to gauge the popularity of each look. The 'chav look' was the second most successful of the five. Right: Scott concluded that the key to dating success is to make sure female suitors are not intimidated by your profile picture, which, he says, perhaps explains why the 'normal bloke' look got 16 matches .

A mother-of-three had sex with a 14-year-old friend of her daughter when he went to her house after spending an evening drinking vodka, a court heard. Tammy Gregory, 36, appeared at Reading Crown Court today accused of having sex with the underage boy at her home in Reading, Berkshire, in August 2013. The court heard how the schoolboy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, arrived at Gregory's three-bedroomed house in the early hours following an evening out with her daughter and friends. Christopher Hewertson, prosecuting, told the jury that at about 2am or 3am the boy went to bed in Gregory's room, while his friends went into her young sons' room. The jury was shown the footage of a police interview with the schoolboy, who said that while Gregory's daughter went to bed in her own room, he went to sleep in the master bedroom. The court heard that the group had been drinking until about 2am and when the boy awoke in the double bed later that morning, Gregory, then aged 33, was in the bed next to him, wearing her pyjamas. The jury was told they then started kissing before having full sex. In the police video, the boy said: 'It was like 3am in the morning and she [Gregory's daughter] went to her room.

+{"article": "I do not have a problem with giving second chances to disgraced athletes. Redemption stories can provide some of the most uplifting moments in sport and in the past few years I have come to admire Dwain Chambers, a man who will always be known as a drugs cheat, for the way he responded to his downfall. Third chances are a little more difficult to wrestle with. Recidivism suggests a predilection for cheating the public and one\u2019s fellow competitors that is harder to forgive and which makes it more troublesome to believe that the athlete has reformed. Sprinter Justin Gatlin signed a lucrative sponsorship contract with Nike this week . Gatlin has twice been convicted of using performance enhancing drugs . Gatlin's deal with Nike has been met with some unfavourable responses from key figures in athletics . What I really have a problem with, though, is rewarding an athlete who has cheated twice with a big, fat sponsorship deal. What I really have a problem with is somehow legitimising the taking of performance-enhancing drugs in sport by making a cheat look cool. That\u2019s what Nike have done. That\u2019s the message they have sent out by giving a new sportswear deal to twice-convicted drugs cheat Justin Gatlin in the build-up to this year\u2019s World Championships in Beijing. Nike don\u2019t do shame. They just do shock. But they should be ashamed of themselves for this. They should be ashamed of the message they are sending out at a time when athletics desperately needs its stance on PEDs to be unequivocal. Nike are cool. They make it their business to make their athletes appear cool, too. They turn them into people their youth-orientated customers want to emulate. And now they are going to do that with USA sprinter Gatlin who, in the absence of Usain Bolt, ran four of the five fastest 100m times in the world last year. Cheats do prosper after all then. Let\u2019s remind ourselves about Gatlin. He was first banned for taking performance-enhancing drugs in 2001 after testing positive for amphetamines. Gatlin claimed he had been taking medication for Attention Deficit Disorder. His two-year ban was reduced. He won gold in the 100m at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Then, in 2006, he tested positive again. He never admitted guilt. His then coach, Trevor Graham, blamed a massage therapist for rubbing cream laced with testosterone into Gatlin\u2019s buttocks without his knowledge. It was \u2018the-dog-ate-my-homework\u2019 stuff. Gatlin was banned for eight years this time, a punishment subsequently cut in half. Gatlin won gold in the 100m at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece . Gatlin is now 32 but despite his age, is posting some of the fastest times on his career . That should have been enough to put him out of the range of endorsement deals for the rest of his career. But it\u2019s not enough for Nike, apparently, even though they did drop Gatlin after his second positive test. They seem unconcerned. They even seem a little surprised that anyone\u2019s bothered. \u2018Earlier in his career,\u2019 Charlie", "summary": "Sprinter Justin Gatlin signed a big sponsorship deal with Nike this week .

Motorists have reacted angrily after a city council started removing parking meters to encourage them to pay by mobile phone. The move away from simple pay and display to an online system has already led to one driver being charged more than \u00a35,000 after they entered the wrong digits on their phone. Residents in Brighton and Hove have complained that it is making parking unnecessarily complicated. But the Green Party-controlled council insists paying by phone can be easier because drivers no longer have to scrabble around to find the right change. Many councils across the country have started to allow drivers to pay for parking on their mobile phones. In Brighton and Hove, half of all coin-fed meters will have disappeared by June as part of a cost-cutting move. Instead drivers will have to register online at home or from their mobile phones in the street when they want to park. Payments are made by calling an automated service, sending a text or using a smartphone app. It costs 10p to pay by phone or motorists can skip the charge by going to a local shop to pay. No tickets need to be displayed and parking wardens instead check whether people have paid by checking car numberplates on mobile devices. Steve Percy, of local campaign group People\u2019s Parking Protest, said that the council is unfairly punishing motorists. \u2018I\u2019m infuriated,\u2019 he said. \u2018Not everyone has a mobile phone and you cannot always get signal ... It is especially unfair on older people.\u2019 The council has said that it could remove all parking meters by 2017. Earlier this year it emerged that a motorist was hit with a \u00a35,340 ticket after inadvertently entering the wrong amount while trying to pay for parking that should have cost them \u00a315.30. Payments are made by calling an automated service, sending a text or using a smartphone app. It costs 10p to pay by phone or motorists can skip the charge by going to a local shop to pay . Elsewhere, some London boroughs have reduced the number of pay and display machines to lower costs. In Camden the council introduced a new policy where the nearest parking meter can be up to a five-minute walk away. In November toll booths were removed on the Dartford Crossing between Essex and Kent.

+{"article": "New research funded by farmers aims to breed a wheat variety for people who can't eat the grain, an endeavor that comes as wider consumer interest in gluten-free foods is booming. The Kansas Wheat Commission is spending $200,000 for the first two years of the project, which is meant to identify everything in wheat's DNA sequences that can trigger a reaction in people suffering from celiac disease. The disease is an autoimmune disorder in which eating even tiny amounts of gluten - made up of numerous, complex proteins that gives dough its elasticity and some flavor to baked goods - can damage the small intestine. Chris Miller, senior director of research for Engrain, a Kansas company that makes products to enhance the nutrition and appearance of products made by the milling and cereal industry, said funding research to breed gluten-free wheat is 'the right thing to do' The only known treatment known is a gluten-free diet, which consists of not eating foods that contain wheat, rye and barley. Though celiac disease is four-to-five times more common now than 50 years ago, only about one per cent of the world's population is believed to suffer from it, and just a fraction have been diagnosed. But the gluten-free food business has skyrocketed in the last five years, driven in part by non-celiac sufferers who are either intolerant to gluten or following a gluten-free fad diet because they believe it may help them lose weight or that it's somehow healthier. Sales of gluten-free snacks, crackers, pasta, bread and other products reached $973million in the United States in 2014, up from $810million the previous year, according to a January report by consumer research firm Packaged Facts. The research analyzed the sales of hundreds of explicitly labeled and marketed gluten-free products and brands at supermarkets, drugstores, and mass merchandisers. Supporters of the Kansas research, though, say this isn't a way to regain market share. Miller shows a flour solution from a specific strain of wheat at a research facility in the Wheat Innovation Center in Manhattan, Kansas. The only known treatment for celiac desiseas is a gluten-free diet, which consists of not eating foods that contain wheat, rye and barley . The research for gluten-free wheat began in July at the Wheat Innovation Center in Manhattan, Kansas. It is still in its early stages and researchers are looking at proteins inside the grain . 'If you know you are producing a crop that is not tolerated well by people, then it's the right thing to do,' according to the project's lead researcher, Chris Miller, senior director of research for Engrain, a Kansas company that makes products to enhance the nutrition and appearance of products made by the milling and cereal industry. Gluten-free foods are a niche product, and in the broader context of the world's wheat markets, it is not a driving factor, according to Dan O'Brien, extension grain market specialist at Kansas State University.

He originally planned for his wife to assume the position of president after him but her worsening health has forced Mugabe to turn to his 24-year-old daughter Bona, according to the Times. She accompanied the 91-year-old dictator on a recent trip to Japan to meet with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe - a move which drew widespread condemnation from parties within the country. Last year, Mugabe promoted his wife Grace to a senior position within his ruling ZANU-PF party where she led a vicious campaign to remove former vice-president Joice Mujuru from office.

'Based on their lies, people decided Farkhunda was not a Muslim and beat her to death,' Mohammed Nadir told AP. The policeman who saw the incident, Sayed Habid Shah, said Farkhunda had denied setting the Koran on fire. 'She said I am a Muslim and Muslims do not burn the Koran,' he said. 'As more people gathered, the police were trying to push them away, but it got out of control,' he added. Within minutes the crowd began to savagely beat Farkhunda, and ended up pushing her from a roof, running her over with a car and setting her on fire before throwing her body in the Kabul River.

A high-salt diet causes sodium levels to build up in the skin, boosting the immune system to fight off the germs that cause bacterial skin infections, say scientists. In an experiment, German researchers discovered that mice which were fed a high-salt diet healed infections in their feet more quickly. Too much salt may be bad for your heart but it can protect against skin infections, new research found . This is because the salt had raised the activity of immune cells called macrophages, making their immune systems more responsive. The findings, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, may also highlight how salt was once effectively used to ward off infections before antibiotics were invented. Professor Jonathan Jantsch, of the University of Regensburg, said: 'Up to now, salt has been regarded as a detrimental dietary factor; it is clearly known to be detrimental for cardiovascular diseases, and recent studies have implicated a role in worsening autoimmune diseases. 'Our current study challenges this one-sided view and suggests that increasing salt accumulation at the site of infections might be an ancient strategy to ward off infections, long before antibiotics were invented.' High levels of sodium stored in the skin, especially in the elderly, can lead to high blood pressure and increase the risk for heart disease and stroke, worsen autoimmune disease and even increase the risk of stomach cancer. Professor Jens Titze from Vanderbilt University added: 'Despite the overwhelming evidence linking dietary salt to disease in humans, the potential evolutionary advantage of storing so much salt in the body has not been clear.' A high-salt diet causes sodium levels to build up in the skin, boosting the immune system to fight off the germs that cause bacterial skin infections, say scientists . The researchers found that infected areas in patients with bacterial skin infections also showed remarkably high salt accumulation. But in experiments high salt diet mice had increased immunity against microbial infections by boosting the activity of immune cells called macrophages. This meant that mice who had infections in their feet caused by a parasite called Leishmania major were able to heal more quickly. Future studies will examine how salt accumulates in the skin and triggers immune responses, and why salt accumulates in the skin of ageing adults. Professor Jantsch went on: 'A further understanding of the regulatory cascades might not only help to design drugs that specifically enhance local salt deposition and help to combat infectious diseases, but also may lead to novel strategies to mobilise sodium stores in the ageing population and prevent cardiovascular disease. 'We also think that local application of high-salt-containing wound dressings and the development of other salt-boosting antimicrobial therapies might bear therapeutic potential.' But he warned everyone should not rush off and start a high salt diet. He added: 'Due to the overwhelming clinical studies demonstrating that high dietary salt is detrimental to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, we feel that at present our data does not justify", "summary": "Research has found eating salt can protect against skin infections .

They can now navigate small towns and state highway systems without any help after they accumulated knowledge about how the country is set up, the couple told Daily Mail Online. Jennifer and Jonathan Riehl, 32 and 31, completed their journey to the lower 48 states' 3,108 counties when they arrived in Nantucket, their last county, with their green 1999 Dodge Intrepid . They have preferred sticking to physical maps since their journey began in 2006, though the Riehls bought a GPS device in 2012 to help out in the remote corners of the US where the streets aren't labelled.

Jonathan, who does the majority of the driving while his wife navigates, hangs a map of their travels in his office and says that colleagues are 'genuinely baffled' by the accomplishment. Mr Riehl bought the car as a high school senior living in New Jersey for $9,000. At the time, 2002, it had 70,000 miles.

The car and both of its primary passengers have been to all 3,108 counties, and the vehicle is still using the same engine it had when it was bought despite many 16-hour days on the road. They think a 15,000-mile trip from New Jersey to Alaska to their home on Michigan's Upper Peninsula over 38 days in the summer of 2012 may have broken a record for the long distance speed in a car. First counties visited by the couple, which met in upstate New York, include many Northeastern destinations where they visited friends. Jonathan, who works with geographical information science computer programs, saw that they had visited a fair number of counties together and during childhood road trips. A move to Nashville, Tennessee, for two years, sparked the idea that they could actually hit all the counties.

That has why Asmir has missed the ball and the referee has deemed it a penalty. It was a key moment, that is one you want them (the officials) to get.' Even so, Hughes didn't have any excuses for Palace's winning goal from Wilfried Zaha on the stroke of half-time from Glenn Murray's flick-on.

Officers noticed that they had received many notices of intended prosecution - sent when a vehicle is seen or photographed committing a driving offence - naming Burton. A huge amount of documentation relating to him between 2006 and 2012 was then reviewed, and the scam was uncovered. Drivers are generally banned from the road when they accrue 12 penalty points. But now, six of the group have been jailed and most of the others given suspended sentences after admitting perverting the course of justice at Newcastle Crown Court. One of them had his sentencing adjourned. The 13 men and one woman include a council worker, retired Royal Navy refrigerator engineer, roofing business owner, scaffolder and director of a construction company. Judge Deborah Sherwin said the seriousness of their actions was evident from the case against politician Chris Huhne, who tried to cover up swapping speeding points with his ex-wife in 2003. Behind bars: Robert Fish (left), 43, was sent to prison for eight months, while Stephen Grieveson (right), 51, was jailed for six months . Sentenced: Businessman Alan McGreevy (left), 53, was sent to prison for five months, while Alan Russell (right), 27, a director of a construction company, was jailed for ten months . She told the group: \u2018People need to realise that offences of this sort may seem easy and victimless, however, they are viewed seriously by the court. I accept their remorse has been demonstrated. \u2018I accept they\u2019re isolated incidents, unlikely to be repeated. I also accept that, at the time, it was not appreciated how seriously the court would view this offending. \u2018You would come to realise how seriously that court takes matters such as these by press articles into the case of Chris Huhne and his ex-wife Vicky Pryce in 2013.\u2019 Anthony Dunnen, prosecuting, said after the 14 drivers were caught breaking road regulations, they got in touch with Burton and he agreed to take their points for them. In court: Hotel manager David Tate (left), 53, was sent to prison for eight months, while William Thirwell (right), 68, got a six-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months .

+{"article": "The U.S. could face a shortage of 90,000 doctors by 2025 as it struggles to cope with an older, sicker population and increased demand from Obamacare, a new report has warned. The dire need for doctors, particularly surgeons treating diseases common among elderly people, such as cancer, was revealed by the Association of American Medical Colleges on Tuesday. 'The doctor shortage is real \u2013 it's significant \u2013 and it's particularly serious for the kind of medical care that our aging population is going to need,' said Darrell G. Kirch, CEO and president of AAMC, which represents medical schools and teaching hospitals across the country. In its 2015 report, the association found that even though the supply of doctors will increase between now and 2015, the demand for physician services will fast out-grow this supply. Struggle: A graph shows the predicted demand for doctors compared to the predicted supply between 2013 and 2015. The demand is thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and retail clinics, among other factors . Problem: The greatest shortage will be for surgeons, particularly those treating diseases among the elderly . The number of physicians is expected to grow by nine per cent over the next ten years, but the demand for healthcare services could grown by up to 17 percent. It predicted there could be a shortfall of between 46,100 and 90,400 doctors in 10 years' time and, of these, there could be a shortage of as many as 63,700 non-primary care physicians. This is also considering how retail clinics and outpatient centers are turning more to nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other professionals instead of physicians, the report noted. When looking at the cause behind the increased demand, the association pointed to increased life expectancy. 'An increasingly older, sicker population, as well as people living longer with chronic diseases, such as cancer, is the reason for the increased demand,' Kirch told the Washington Post. The number of people over the age of 65 will soar by 40 percent by 2025, he said. The association also noted that the implementation of the Affordable Care Act will likely increase demand. But it will do so only minimally - increasing the need for doctors by two per cent. 'The trends from these data are clear,' Kirch said in a statement. 'The physician shortage will grow over the next 10 years under every likely scenario. Demands: The Association of American Medical Colleges, which compiled the report, has called upon the government to pay to train 3,000 more physicians a year in a bid to meet the growing demand . 'Because training a doctor takes between five and 10 years, we must act now, in 2015, if we are going to avoid serious physician shortages in 2025.' He called for more efficient care and more federal support to train at least 3,000 more students a year - at an estimated cost of $1 billion a year.

Amish Kansagra opened a massage parlour with his Polish lover Anna Imporowicz, but he was angry that she attracted interest from other men, including her ex-boyfriend. The couple fell out when a man smiled at Miss Imporowicz in a salsa club - and the next day Kansagra turned up at her home and stabbed her in the throat, saying: 'You will die today.' He was today convicted of attempted murder at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court, after a jury heard he had 'eyes like the devil' during his violent rampage. Attack: Amish Kansagra, left, tried to murder his masseuse girlfriend Anna Imporowicz, right . Judge Susan Tapping said that Kansagra, 28, would face a 'lengthy sentence' for the crime after being found guilty. The couple first started dating when Kansagra became a regular client of Miss Imporowicz, 35, who would give massages to naked customers while she was topless or wearing skimpy underwear. He left his job at a bank and opened a massage parlour with her in Ealing, west London, but their relationship fell apart last June after the incident in a Holborn salsa club. The court heard that the pair went home together that night, but Kansagra shoved Miss Imporowicz against a fridge, destroyed her phone and laptop and posted a picture of her on Facebook with the caption: 'I'm a prostitute and proud of it.' The next day, he turned up at her house in nearby Brentford armed with a knife which he had taken from the massage parlour. Victim: Miss Imporowicz met the defendant because he was a massage customer of hers . Prosecutor Julian Jones told the jury: 'She saw Amish with the knife in his hand and he shut the kitchen window and put the knife to her throat and said, \"You've made the wrong decision. You will die today.\" 'He was trying to stab her neck and she felt him cut her neck and and she saw her blood and fell to the floor saying, \"I love you. Don't do this.\" 'She described him as having gritted teeth and eyes like the devil, and he cut her neck again, harder and deeper, and used the tip of the knife to cut her gum.' Miss Imporowicz tried to flee out of the front door, but was pulled back by the defendant, Mr Jones continued. 'He still had the knife in one hand and the other hand around her neck and stabbed her in the side. 'She escaped via a window and while she had one leg out Amish tried to stab her everywhere.'

The death of a woman days after she underwent surgery on her varicose veins could have been prevented, her husband has today claimed. Nicola Tweedy, 54, had the operation at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in March last year and was discharged the same evening. But two days later the mother-of-two was found apparently asleep in her chair at the family home in Pulham Market, Norfolk. When her family failed to rouse the classroom assistant, they called an ambulance. Despite the best efforts of the paramedics called, Mrs Tweedy died. A post-mortem examination later confirmed she had suffered a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot which reached her lungs. An inquest heard staff at the hospital failed to ensure Mrs Tweedy was fully aware of the risk of suffering a blood clot during the operation, because of an 'oversight'. Her husband, Chris Tweedy, 53, said he is now considering taking civil action against the hospital, claiming he believes his wife's death could have been prevented. The postman, who lives with the couple's two children, said: 'They were required to avoid harming her and, tragically, in my opinion, they did not.' South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon said the case was a 'tragedy' which should prompt improvements. He added: 'It is clear to me that more could and should have been done to mitigate the risks of what was deemed to be appropriate surgery for Mrs Tweedy, most crucially to place Mrs Tweedy and her family in a position to make a fully informed choice about whether to proceed with the operation. 'Any hospital treating over half a million people each year will occasionally not do everything perfectly. People are only human. 'But in the post-Mid Staffs world, when things have been less than perfect, patients and families now expect - and frankly are entitled to expect - much greater openness.' Consultant vascular surgeon Robert Brightwell admitted to the inquest in Norwich that a thrombosis risk assessment had not been completed. That meant the 54-year-old was not fully informed about the dangers of the surgery, including the increased risk for those with a high body mass index. Nurse Susan Brown said she accepted it was 'an oversight' and that a checklist had not been completed on the patient's discharge notes. Coroner Jacqueline Lake gave a narrative conclusion that Mrs Tweedy died following a 'rare but recognised' risk of surgery, adding she will write a report so that future deaths may be prevented. She said she was satisfied that the operation itself had been conducted appropriately. But raised concerns that Mrs Tweedy had not been given the correct leaflets on her care. Speaking after the inquest Mr Tweedy said his family's lives had been 'damaged beyond repair'. He described his wife and his 'happy, smiling soul-mate'.

However an inquest into the death of Sophia Helen Athanassiou, from Wellington New Zealand, turned up no concrete cause of death, it was revealed. The lack of information about the circumstances in which she died is partly due to the fact the 39-year-old's long-term partner Daniel Johnston initially refused to disclose some details, The NZ Herald reported.

Corner Gary Evans said at the inquest that the deceased lead a 'sad and somewhat lonely life', and 'the circumstances of her death leave many questions unanswered.'

People should make smartphone recordings of dealings with tradesmen, builders, decorators and even hairdressers to ensure they stick to their word, a minister said yesterday. Jo Swinson said the recordings would provide evidence under a new Consumer Rights Bill that will ensure verbal agreements are enforceable. The Bill will go through its final stages in the Commons on Monday and come into force in October, giving the public stronger powers to challenge firms that treat them badly. The Consumer Affairs Minister said the system will make the rules on complaints and refunds much clearer for the public and businesses. The Bill also includes new rights for people who buy and download content from the web, whether it is a Hollywood film, a computer game or a song. The minister said the recordings of conversations with traders should be made openly and would form part of any legally-binding agreement, along with documents, emails and text messages. She said they could be used in many circumstances, including a hairdresser promising to cut hair in a particular style. Her comments follow the controversy triggered by Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, who suggested families should demand receipts from small traders to help ensure tax is paid. Miss Swinson, a Liberal Democrat, stressed that verbal agreements will have the force of a written contract from the autumn, particularly if they are backed up with a recording. \u2018If you make a verbal agreement with a trader, then that forms part of the contract,\u2019 she said. \u2018If you say I want you to paint my bathroom a particular shade of mint green, but they then use a different one, then they have not delivered what was agreed. \u2018It is important for people to have agreements and to have a note of those. Email will be one way that a lot of people do that, sometimes it might be a text message. People could also use their phone to record the conversation, if both parties found that was an easier way of doing it.\u2019 The minister stressed she was not suggesting any kind of secret recording.

Hubert Zafke, now 94, was present when Anne came in on a train carrying 498 men, 442 women and 79 children from Holland's Westerbork concentration camp on September 5, 1944, prosecution documents released at the weekend show. Anne, whose memoir of a life in hiding from the Nazis became the single most poignant piece of Holocaust literature, was later transferred to the Belsen concentration camp in Germany where she died early in 1945. Only her father would survive the war. Hubert Zafke, now 94, is charged in the complicity of 3,681 murders. He was on duty when Jewish diarist Anne Frank arrived at Auschwitz (above) Zafke is now charged in the complicity of 3,681 murders - victims who were gassed or shot when he was on duty. Although classed as a medic, such personnel at Auschwitz were not concerned with the health of inmates, but often poured Zyklon-B pesticide crystals into the gas chamber to murder them. More than 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were liquidated at Auschwitz. The indictment shows that Zafke, who now lives in the tiny village of Gnevkow north of Berlin, joined the Hitler Youth when he was a teenager in his hometown of Schoenau, which now lies in Poland. The son of a farmer, he attended high school and an agricultural college intending to follow in his father's footsteps. In 1933, aged 13, he joined the Hitler Youth and six years later was in the SS. He received his grounding in concentration camp training at Dachau, the first of the Nazi camps where 36,000 people were murdered during its 12-year operation. As a junior squad leader - a rank usually given to men singled out as future officer material - Zafke transferred to Auschwitz in the summer of 1944. He is charged with being an accomplice to the murders of the 3,681 victims between August 14 and September 14, 1944. Prosecutors said: 'He is not charged with any single specific murder but as a functionary in the Nazi murder machine which he enabled.' Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army on January 27, 1945, now World Holocaust Day, but Zafke had already gone west and fell into British hands.

The hosts spurned numerous chances in a tense first half before Howson surged from midfield to fire a sublime left-footed strike beyond keeper David Forde.

It's all too easy for the away side as they deal Millwall manager Ian Holloway yet another striking blow . A stunned Millwall found enough resilience to claim a goal back after Diego Fabbrini won a penalty that Lee Gregory converted but it was too little too late to ease the pressure on beleaguered manager Ian Holloway. After sustained Norwich pressure for the first 20 minutes, Millwall began to respond, as Jos Hooiveld saw his powerful volley blocked by Carlos Cuellar before Ricardo Fuller struck team-mate Martyn Woolford with another effort.

The hosts' wastefulness was duly punished in the 38th minute when Howson surged through midfield and struck an exquisite drive beyond Forde from outside the area to give Norwich the lead. While Howson's goal was slightly harsh on Millwall, the hosts had themselves to blame for Norwich's second on the stroke of half time.

Yet it was not long before the visitors effectively ended the contest as a slip by Millwall's Sid Nelson was capitalised on ruthlessly by Hoolahan, who drove a left-footed strike beyond Forde on 57 minutes.

A dog breeder and her husband have been found guilty of animal cruelty after 14 Red Setters were discovered dehydrated and caged . Margaret and Gary Mazan from Bradford, West Yorkshire, had their dogs seized by RSPCA inspectors after the animals were discovered in filthy cages . Three of the fully grown dogs were found crammed in puppy cages and the majority were kept in a squalid garden shed. Emma Ellis, an RSPCA inspector for Bradford who helped to seize the animals, said it was the worst conditions she has seen dogs in her 12 years as an inspector. She said: 'These were the worst conditions I've ever seen dogs kept in. To see the dogs living in a small shed, with three fully grown setters living in a puppy cage is horrific. They could not sit down or turn around and there fur was matted, covered in urine and faeces. 'When the shed was opened, the smell literally hit you and it was a smell like I had never experienced before. I still recall the smell every time I see the photos. 'To keep animals in these conditions is unacceptable for anyone, let a alone a dog breeder.' Dingle Clark, prosecuting on behalf of the RSPCA, said Mrs Mazan, 53, had shown and bred setters for more than ten years. The animals had been kept at the Bradford home since the family moved from Leeds in February 2013. RSPCA officials served a warning notice a month after the couple moved in due to the conditions the dogs were being kept in. A dog warden was refused access to the home in April 2013, prompting calls to the RSPCA.

Watson had to withstand some ferocious short balls and gave as good as he got too in verbal exchanges which resulted in fines for both players under the International Cricket Council's code of conduct. The Australia all-rounder emerged the emphatic victor, however - with an unbeaten 64, having been dropped on four off Wahab, as he and the big-hitting Glenn Maxwell took their team to a six-wicket verdict with almost 16 overs to spare. Australia's combative opener David Warner has since suggested he may have to leave the chat to others but Mitchell Johnson and James Faulkner will happily take over. Johnson told Fox Sports: 'I heard Davey say he wasn't going to get involved in all that stuff. Someone's got to do it, and I think I might put my hand up.' Johnson, fellow seamer Faulkner and coach Darren Lehmann all appear most definitely ready to 're-engage'. Shane Watson and Wahab Riaz were both fined for their exchanges in the quarter-final on Friday . Australia all-rounder James Faulkner is another who will not be backing away from the verbal battle . Australia's left-arm pace spearhead added: 'It's part of the game - and what happened the other day with Shane (Watson) and Wahab (Riaz) I thought was exceptional, the way they played the game. 'It was unfortunate with what happened afterwards. I thought it was great entertaining cricket to watch, and I think you're going to see some more entertainment this game.' Lehmann agreed in his column for cricket.com.au: 'I can't help but think it's a bit disappointing that the exchange was deemed to have crossed the line. 'I've been interested to read that greats of the game such as Brian Lara and Kevin Pietersen were surprised that's how it was interpreted. 'But I have no doubt the passion and the thrills that Wahab's spell ignited among the crowd in Adelaide will be there for all to see and hear at the SCG when we take on India in Thursday's semi-final.' Faulkner is like-minded: 'There's going to be words said, and it's going to be a really tough contest. 'I think there always is (sledging) in the game - if there", "summary": "Australia play India in the Cricket World Cup 2015 semi-final on Thursday .

Poor olive harvests last year may mean a shortage of olive oil - so here are some alternatives . Best to roast veg: Rapeseed . Rapeseed oil has 6 per cent saturated fat compared with olive oil's 14.3 per cent. It also has ten times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids and 50 per cent more vitamin E. EXPERT VERDICT: One of the healthiest oils, with a subtle, grassy taste. One concern with heating oil is how soon it starts to smoke. This is when the fatty acids in it oxidise, creating harmful free radicals. Rapeseed oil has a high smoke point, so use for frying or roasting. Best in risotto: Rice bran . Taken from the bran (the vitamin-rich layer below the fibrous hull of rice) and germ (the oily, nutrient-rich part of a rice grain). High in protective antioxidants such as vitamin E. EXPERT VERDICT: As well as heart healthy vitamin E, this contains ferulic acid, which has powerful anti-oxidant and anti- inflammatory effects, helping to protect the immune system and prevent disease. Coconut oil makes great stir-fries . Best in stir-fries: Coconut . Extracted from the white flesh of coconuts, this is almost 50 per cent lauric acid, a 'healthier' saturated fatty acid. Solid at room temperature, so can't be used for salad dressings, but its high smoke point makes it ideal for cooking. EXPERT VERDICT: Though it's 86.5 per cent saturated fat, research suggests the saturated fat in coconut may be used up more quickly by the body and is less likely to be stored as body fat. However, use in moderation. Best on salad: Walnut . With useful amounts of fatty acids, walnut oil may help lower heart disease risk. A distinct walnut flavour and low smoke point, so best for dressings. EXPERT VERDICT: Delicious, but not particularly versatile. Buy small bottles and keep in a cool, dark place as it goes rancid easily. Best for baking: Hemp seed . Richer in the essential fatty acids omega-3, 6 and 9 than other culinary oils, and has half the saturated fat of olive oil. One tablespoon provides 94 per cent of your daily recommended intake of omega-3s. EXPERT VERDICT: Versatile - can be used for stir-frying, dipping and salad dressing. One of the healthiest alternatives to olive oil, though the flavour may not be to everyone's taste. Disguise with dried fruit and spices. Rapeseed oil (l), walnut oil (c) and hemp seed oil (r) are all good for different dishes .", "summary": "Dietitian Dr Sarah Schenker offers some alternatives to olive oil .

Joanna Mellor, 24, suffered a cardiac arrest in her sleep, but her five-year-old dog Leo barked until her boyfriend woke up and realised she wasn't breathing . Leo barked until Miss Mellor's boyfriend Andrew woke up. Andrew dialled 999 and performed CPR on his girlfriend until paramedics came and she was rushed to hospital for life-saving treatment . In hospital, doctors said her heart had stopped for 30 minutes before Mr Rayment began CPR. She was able to make a full recovery after her cardiac arrest, something paramedics said is unheard of . Incredibly, doctors said Miss Mellor's heart had stopped for 30 minutes before Mr Rayment managed to resuscitate her. Miss Mellor, who lives with her boyfriend in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, has since been diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. This is a condition in which she has an extra electrical connection in the heart, causing it to beat abnormally fast, triggering a cardiac arrest. Miraculously, she has now made a full recovery. She said: 'I owe my life to my dog and my boyfriend. If Leo hadn't woken Andrew up I might not be here today. 'I remember going to bed and drifting off the sleep and the next I know I'm in intensive care in hospital and told I'd suffered a heart attack.

This caused a cardiac arrest, where the electrical activity of the heart becomes so chaotic that the heart stops pumping and quivers of 'fibrillates' instead. The heart stops pumping blood around the body, causing a person to lose consciousness and potentially die within minutes. Mr Rayment said he woke up to barking on January 2nd this year. He said: 'I was half asleep when Leo woke me up.

Nemtsov was killed as he was preparing a report alleging the Kremlin was deeply involved in the bloody war in eastern Ukraine. Fellow opposition leaders have vowed to ensure his report is published. The two men held by the FSB are understood to be from the Caucasus region in southern Russia. They were evidently detained from evidence found in the getaway car, and through surveillance of telephone calls. But the investigation is still seeking those who ordered the politician's killing.

Cardiff's Kadeem Harris was sent off for a reckless lunge on Brentford midfielder Alan Judge . The Welsh club came to west London with a game plan to stifle the fluent Bees by breaking the game up at every opportunity, and Brentford at times looked rattled by their physical approach. Yet the Bees took the lead midway through the first half after a howler by their former stopper Simon Moore, who could only parry Alex Pritchard's dipping free-kick into the path of Gray to bundle home from close range.

Macheda drew them level on 53 minutes when Brentford goalkeeper David Button collided with his own centre-back Harlee Dean and dropped the ball into the path of the Italian, who slid home from 12 yards. And the comeback was complete on 68 minutes when Button raced off his line to intercept a hopeful through ball and was caught in no man's land for Revell to chip home into the empty goal. However, the sheen was taken off the win by two red cards for the Welshmen. Alex Revell (left) celebrates scoring Cardiff's winner with Federico Macheda . Harris, on loan at Griffin Park last season, was the first to go on 78 minutes, having come on as a half-time sub, for a reckless lunge on Bees midfielder Alan Judge.

A senior coroner has accused Orthodox Jews of bullying and intimidating her in an extraordinary row over the handling of dead bodies. Mary Hassell claims she and her staff have been left in fear of violence after being bombarded by hundreds of complaints about how they deal with deaths in devoutly religious communities. In a letter seen by The Mail on Sunday, she says she has been falsely accused of anti-Semitism and warns the situation risks becoming \u2018volatile\u2019. She says that on one occasion the police had to be called when 60 Orthodox Jews refused to let undertakers take the body of a man whose body they wanted to pray over. Mrs Hassell believes other families in the North London area she covers are \u2018suffering\u2019 because she has to spend so much of her time dealing with the large number of Orthodox Jews, whose faith requires them to bury their dead quickly and prevents them undergoing autopsies. But the Orthodox Jews say they are being \u2018traumatised\u2019 by the coroner\u2019s disregard for their beliefs, forcing them to take unprecedented legal action against her. Both sides will soon face each other in the High Court in a case that could lead to all families being given the right to demand a high-tech scan to determine cause of death rather than the traditional surgical post- mortem examination. In a letter to her bosses at Camden Council, Mrs Hassell writes: \u2018I look forward to hearing how you intend to support those who work within the service for which you have statutory responsibility, and protect them from bullying, intimidation and the threat of violence.\u2019 But Rabbi Asher Gratt told this newspaper: \u2018The Jewish community is increasingly traumatised by Mrs Hassell\u2019s conduct. It\u2019s getting to the point where elderly people are scared to die in England \u2013 literally. A pair of Orthodox Jews wait for a bus in London. In their faith, they believe they need to bury their loved ones within a day of their death so the period of mourning can begin . \u2018I\u2019m actually aware of at least one elderly couple who have happily lived in the UK since the Second World War but who have now emigrated permanently due to their fear of being subjected to unnecessary delays of their funerals when they pass away \u2013 or, worse still, a post-mortem autopsy.\u2019 The row has arisen because Jews believe they need to bury their loved ones within a day of their death so the period of mourning can begin. They also believe that traditional post-mortem examinations amount to desecration of the body.

Baths were also on the decline with more people opting for a quick shower over a long soak, according to a new report. Despite falling sales of the traditional bar of soap, people are actually washing more with over a third of adults are washing their hands more often than they were a year ago. The proportion of people buying liquid hand soap at least once a month has risen from 56 per cent in 2013 to 62 per cent in 2014 . Experts believe the nation's changing hygiene habits could be down to the public fear over international health scares such as last year's Ebola outbreak. Charlotte Libby, Senior Beauty Analyst at Mintel, said: 'With health scares making headlines around the world throughout 2014, the spread of disease has raised awareness of how hand hygiene plays a part in preventing infection, causing an increase in the frequency of consumers washing their hands.' Professor Vincent-Wayne Mitchell, a consumer marketing specialist at the Cass Business School in London, added that years of MRSA oubreaks and food hygiene scares had made people 'hygiene hyperconscious.' The proportion of people buying liquid hand soap at least once a month has risen from 56 per cent in 2013 to 62 per cent in 2014. Research by Mintel found that 87 per cent of people are more likely to purchase liquid soap than bar soap, 71 per cent. More than half of us also use hand sanitiser gel, with a third buying it once a month or more. Professor Isabelle Szmigin, a consumer behaviour expert at the University of Birmingham, said the shift to liquid soap was 'purely an improvement' 'The large majority of young Brits purchasing hand sanitiser shows that, despite preconceptions, this group have a particularly cautious attitude towards spreading germs,' added Ms Libby. Humans have been using soap for thousands of years. The earliest bar discovered dates back to around 2800 BC in ancient Babylon. The first mass-market transparent soap was Pears, which was first sold in 1807. Professor Isabelle Szmigin, a consumer behaviour expert at the University of Birmingham, said the shift to liquid soap was 'purely an improvement'. 'This is what we call a continuous innovation, where the basic formula is the same but the product is better,' she said. Shower washes were the most frequently purchased body cleansing product of 2014, as they were the previous year, with one in five taking less baths than they did a year ago. Ms Libby said: 'Consumers have started to realise that being environmentally friendly can translate to money-saving and are making greener choices to benefit their own pockets.'

The Ra\u00eblian Movement teaches that life on Earth was scientifically created by a species of extraterrestrials, which they call the Elohim. Members of this species appeared human and when having personal contacts with the descendants of the humans they made, they previously misinformed (on purpose) early humanity that they were angels, cherubim or gods.

'These incidents happened a long way out in the police district, and we therefore believe it is important that those who live there are protected.' 'We are not talking about serious crimes, but it's more of a nuisance. I must admit that I have never encountered such a case in my career.' The man who has already been convicted of seven crimes and fined 13 times was in breach of a restraining order imposed to protect the recipient of the toupee. Hordaland country's remoteness on Norway's west coast makes it very difficult for the police to access quickly during an emergency. Mr Bilberg said the frequency of the man's offences should be judged accordingly so he does not go on to commit new crimes.

Peter McKay, 35, had been living with Leslie Bidgood for around six months in Sheppey, Kent, when he savagely attacked his friend while chopping ingredients for their dinner. Both men had been drinking vodka and McKay was also taking sedatives when he struck his friend of four years with the meat cleaver, causing injuries to his head and neck and leaving him 'lucky to be alive'. Maidstone Crown Court (pictured) heard Peter McKay had been living with Leslie Bidgood for around six months in Sheppey, Kent, when he attacked his friend while chopping ingredients for their dinner . Mr Bidgood, who was watching television when the attack took place on September 18 last year, managed to run from the flat covered in blood. But he was pursued by McKay, who held him up against a fence and shouted: 'What's my name?' before punching him in the head. McKay also threatened witnesses who tried to help the victim. The men had previously downed several vodka red bulls each and McKay was also taking sedative tablets. Maidstone Crown Court heard McKay emerged from the kitchen 'growling' before attacking Mr Bidgood. Mark Mullins, prosecuting, said: 'He went up to Mr Bidgood and started hitting him around the neck and head. 'Mr Bidgood saw blood on his hands. He felt it dripping down from his face.' 'He tried to push him away. He said: \"We are mates. We are both on the same side\". Mr McKay didn't stop. He just kept growling.' McKay had been preparing a spaghetti bolognese for their dinner when he turned on his flatmate . 'The victim could not remember anything else until he woke up in hospital with cuts to his neck, behind his left ear and above his left eye, which needed stitches.' Mr Mullins told the jury the 'very nasty attack' could have had much more serious consequences. McKay claimed he was intoxicated due to the consumption of the tablets and alcohol which led to a state of 'automatism'. But Mr Mullins said: 'The prosecution say it was a voluntary act on his part. 'This is not a case of someone who suddenly lost their inhibitions and didn't know what he was doing. 'When he stabbed him he intended to cause him grievous bodily harm. Someone who stabs someone multiple times with a meat cleaver intends to do someone really serious harm.'

+{"article": "A pair of mysterious bright spots on the asteroid Ceres could be towering 'water volcanoes', scientists claim. Recent images from the Dawn spacecraft reveal the spots, dubbed 'feature number 5', at various angles as the asteroid rotates. The glimmers of light are visible even when they are near the edge of Ceres, suggesting that they must be high above the surface rather than at the bottom of an impact crater, as previously believed. Scroll down for video . Ceres rotates in this sped-up movie comprised of images taken by NASA's Dawn mission during its approach to the dwarf planet. The glimmers of light are visible even when they are near the edge of Ceres, suggesting that are on a high elevation in relation to the rest of the surface . 'What is amazing is that you can see the feature while the rim is still in the line of sight,' said Andreas Nathues, a planetary scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in G\u00f6ttingen, Germany. He noted that at dawn on Ceres, the spots shine brightly, but fade as dusk draws in. According to Nature, this could mean sunlight plays an important role in the formation of the features by, for instance, heating up ice just beneath the surface and causing it blast of in a plume. Scientists have speculated that the interior of Ceres is rocky with a layer of water and ice. The leading theory now for the alien spots is that the ice is covered by a thin layer of soil that at times forms into huge 'cryovolcanoes' due to internal pressure in the asteroid. Ceres continues to baffle astronomers as Dawn orbits the dwarf planet. This image was taken by the Dawn spacecraft of dwarf planet Ceres on February 19 from a distance of nearly 29,000 miles (46,000 km). It shows that the brightest spot on Ceres has a dimmer companion, which apparently lies in the same basin . 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. It lies less than three times as far as Earth from the sun - close enough to feel the warmth of the star allowing ice to melt and reform. The Dawn spacecraft pulled into orbit earlier this month around the Ceres in the asteroid belt. The probe is currently on the dark side of Ceres and won't emerge until April. There is high interest in the mission because Ceres is one possible destination for human colonisation given its abundance of ice, water, and minerals.

A soldier impersonated a police officer by using flashing lights he bought on eBay to pull motorists over and tell them their driving 'was not up to standard'. Lance Bombardier Aydn Walster, 22, pulled over unsuspecting drivers he thought were driving poorly before taking down their personal details in a notebook. The soldier even asked drivers to get back into the back of his Saab 9-3 saloon car to give them a telling off. Walster appeared at Lincoln Magistrates' Court yesterday where his defence solicitor admitted the serviceman had been a 'bloody fool'. He pleaded guilty to three counts of impersonating a police officer and two charges of using a car fitted with a blue flashing warning light. Walster, from Lincoln, was fined \u00a3835, ordered to pay costs of \u00a385, and a victim surcharge of \u00a384. The soldier, who has served in Afghanistan, now faces being kicked out of the Army as a result of his criminal conviction. The court heard Walster bought the blue flashing lights on eBay before putting them on the dashboard of his car and pulling over fellow soldiers at his barracks as a prank. But he then took the joke 'too far' by going on to public roads in Lincoln and stopping three members of the public between November last year and January. The soldier pulled over motorists who he thought were driving poorly before telling them they had been breaking the speed limit. Walster was caught when on January 22 he pulled over a car at Lindis Retail Park before taking their personal details. But a friend driving behind became suspicious and reported the incident to the police. Prosecutor Iola Harris said: 'On each occasion, it seems to be that he believed the manner of driving was not up to standard.' Walster pulled a motorist over using the flashing blue light as they passed by Lindis Retail Park (pictured) in Lincoln . Ms Harris added: 'A motorist was followed on Tritton Road by a car with a flashing blue light. The defendant asked him to sit in the back of his car and he was asked questions. 'As a result of the investigation, the defendant was arrested and in his vehicle was a notebook containing personal details. 'He accepted that book belonged to him and he did take names and addresses of members of the public.' While being interviewed by police, Walster admitted he had impersonated a police officer on another occasion. His defence lawyer told the court that being arrested had been more terrifying for Walster than his tour of Afghanistan. Dave Clapham, defending, said: 'In essence, what he says is that the lights were bought off eBay and used to stop his mates on the barracks as a joke. 'For whatever reason this continued into the public arena. He does not know why. He just says he has been a bloody fool and completely stupid.

Ms Ryan's comments come as the union made its submission to the upcoming Productivity Commission review. The submission called for commissioners to spend two weekends working in industries such as aged care or hospitality, rule out considering income from tips in its findings and to study the economic benefits of penalty rates. However, industry representatives have said penalty rates have to be up for discussion if a major review of workplace relations is to take place. Australian Hotels Association chief executive Stephen Ferguson said omitting them from the conversation would be 'ridiculous'. 'The current structure of paying 275 per cent [of ordinary wage rates] on these public holidays - our research says this doesn't stack up,' Mr Ferguson said. 'We don't step away from the fact that a Sunday is different from a Monday, for example, all we're talking about is the quantum.' Mr Ferguson said the AHA's submission to this year's Productivity Commission will be lodged on Monday, and will push for changes that would see unsociable work hours instead called 'additional rates' and make the wages mark-up less generous.

Teachers are to be issued new guidance this week to help children cope with the \u2018unimaginable\u2019 pressures of the modern digital age, including cyberbullying, sexting and \u2018revenge porn\u2019. Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said last night that Personal, Social and Health (PSHE) lessons needed to be improved \u2013 and placed at the heart of the curriculum \u2013 to give young people the tools to cope with these growing demands. Children will also be taught about consensual sex to help vulnerable girls \u2018spot, report and tackle abuse\u2019.

+{"article": "What will it take for Arsenal fans to really love Olivier Giroud? Yes, he is appreciated by the home faithful at the Emirates but not to the same degree as other top strikers. Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa and Harry Kane are worshipped at their clubs. But with similar goal- scoring exploits this season, Giroud doesn\u2019t get anywhere near the same level of affection from his fans or the rest of the football world. He is valued as a player but not unconditionally loved. He deserves much more credit. Of the strikers mentioned, only Aguero has a better minutes per goal rate in all competitions this season than Giroud, who is a good link man and an important source of goals for Arsenal. Olivier Giroud has scored 11 Premier League goals - and 15 in all competitions - during an injury-hit season . Giroud rounds Monaco keeper Danijel Subasic during Arsenal's win in the Champions League . The Frenchman slots home past Brad Guzan during Arsenal's 5-0 rout of Aston Villa . He started the season in fine form and then was unlucky with injury but he hit the ground running as soon as he returned. After his performance in the Champions League first leg against Monaco, everyone rushed to criticise and dissect his game. If Costa or Aguero have a bad game, there is no discussion. With Giroud it is as if he always has to play well to win people over. He\u2019s never allowed an off-day. What has been impressive is the way he has bounced back mentally from that, scoring in four of his last five games. The only match in which he didn\u2019t score was against Manchester United in the FA Cup, when he started on the bench. The circumstances of his arrival are part of the problem for Giroud. Arsenal fans have been fed a diet of pace and movement ever since Arsene Wenger arrived. From Marc Overmars and Nicolas Anelka to Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie, Wenger\u2019s forwards have always been about great mobility and raw speed. Sergio Aguero won Manchester City the title in 2012 and the Argentine is worshipped by the club's fans . Harry Kane has burst onto the scene this season and is already adored by the Tottenham faithful . Diego Costa hit the ground running in England and has become a terrace hero amongst Chelsea fans .

+{"article": "A bitter argument has broken out over a city financier's plans to build a vast basement extension under the \u00a311million home where Nobel Prize-winning writer John Galsworthy lived. Caspar Berendsen, a private equity partner in city firm Cinven, wants to build a children's play room, TV room and sitting room underneath the home, as well as adding extra bedrooms. But neighbours, who are already enduring building works at two nearby properties, have branded the new plans 'inhumane', with one long-time resident saying he will move if the work is approved. Vast: Plans submitted by city financier Caspar Berendsen show he wants to add a children's room, TV room, reception room and addition bedrooms to the already sprawling nine-bed, \u00a311million home . The home, in Hampsted, was where Galsworthy wrote much of The Forsyte Saga, his epic series of novels and short stories for which he won literature's highest honour. The author, who was educated at Harrow in West London, and then at Oxford, lived in the property from 1918 until his death in 1933. While there Galsworthy added an extension to the already large property, giving it nine bedrooms. The building work would be knocked down as part of Mr Berendsen's plans. Nobel Prize-winning author John Galsworthy, who wrote the Forsyte Saga, lived in the house from 1918 until his death from a stroke in 1933 . Painter John Constable was fascinated by the house, including it in three of his paintings, including one from the early part of the 20th century named after the property. Speaking to the Evening Standard, actor Tom Conti said: 'It is inhumane to inflict this dreadful noise and everything else connected to such excavation on the people living nearby.' He told the paper that residents had already endured years of noise from a nearby property belonging to former French footballer and Arsenal star Theirry Henry. John Gardiner, 69, a tax barrister who lives next door to Mr Berendsen, said he will consider leaving him home of 30 years if the works are approved by Camden council. Galsworthy was the son of a wealthy solicitor of the same name, and after graduating with a law degree from New College, Oxford,he was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1890. After several years of following in his father's footsteps he decided that law was not for him, and instead began writing, publishing his first works under the pseudonym John Sinjohn. In 1904 he first used his own name when publishing novel The Island Pharisees, and in 1906 the first work of The Forsyte Saga appeared, The Man of Property, which was harshly critical of his own upper middle-class background, and based party on his unhappy marriage to Ada Pearson. Galsworthy then moved to Hampsted, where he published The White Monkey, The Silver Spoon, Swan Song, and interludes A Silent Wooing and A Passerby, all of which form part of the Forsyte Saga, alongside plays and other writings. On Forsyte Change was the last volume in the saga, comprising a series of short stories, and was first published", "summary": "Nobel Prize-winner John Galsworthy lived at home from 1918 to 1933 .

+{"article": "Prehistoric hunters may have tipped their stone arrows and spears with poisons to help them bring down prey, scientists believe. Researchers have developed a new technique that allows them to test ancient weapons for residues left by toxic plant material added to them. Preliminary tests have suggested that a set of 4,000-year-old stone-tipped arrows from Egypt were coated with poisonous compounds including the plant Acokanthera. Dr Valentina Borgia, a specialist in paleolithic hunting weapons at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge, believes hunters may have been using toxic chemicals on their weapons up to 30,000 years ago. The image above shows arrows from China that were used in a crossbow that were dipped in poison . She said that Paleolithic hunters may have used poisonous pastes made from plants to help make their weapons kill prey more swiftly. Early humans may have evolved to throw spears allowing them to hunt around two million years ago, a new study has suggested. Scientists have found that the skeletons of early species of human changed to give them the ability to throw much like modern humans. A study of fossils of Homo erectus, an extinct human ancestor, shows that their shoulders and collar bone 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. She said: 'It made good sense for people to use poisons. 'On their own, Palaeolithic weapons with stone arrowheads may not have been deadly enough to immobilise or kill a large animal such as a red deer. 'Poisonous plants were plentiful and the prehistoric population knew the environment where they lived, they knew the edible plants and their potential as medicines and poisons. 'To fabricate a poison is easy and economic, and the risk is minimal. In addition, the making of poisons is often part of the tradition and the rituality of hunting.' Dr Borgia has been working with forensic scientist Michell Cralin from Northumbria University and Dr Huw Barton, from the University of Leicester, to test for the presence of poisonous plants on prehistoric weapons. Using a technique called liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, which is used to detect traces of drugs by modern forensic scientists, they are examining residues left on the tips of ancient weapons. They are also looking for the presence of starch grains that may have been left on the weapons from toxic plant material. This wooden spatula from Malaysia wrapped in a palm leaf was used to apply poison to darts used for hunting . Dr Borgia has conducted tests on 4,000 year old arrow heads found in Egypt (left) that are thought to have been tipped with a poisonous black residue. The image on the right shows a pot of curare, a plant-based poison which is still used by some indigenous hunter-gatherers in South America to coat darts and arrows .

The former Prime Minister said it was not a 'mistake' to open Britain's borders to eight former Communist countries in 2004, despite the decision being criticised by the Labour leader Ed Miliband. Mr Miliband said the former PM had 'got it wrong' when he allowed people from Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to work in Britain without restrictions. Tony Blair has insisted he was right to let hundreds of thousands of Eastern European migrants move to Britain . Britain was almost alone in the EU in not imposing transitional controls to slow the rate of migration. The decision to allow freedom of movement into Britain sparked a mass wage of migration - with around 170,000 eastern European migrants moving to the UK every year. Mr Miliband said the party under Mr Blair 'became too disconnected from the concerns of working people'. The Labour leader has pledged to ban immigrants from claiming benefits for two years and to tackle rogue employers exploiting migrant labour. But Mr Blair said political leaders needed to stand up and defend freedom of movement in Europe. He said the only way to defeat Ukip and other anti-immigration parties was to expose their 'ridiculous' plans. Labour leader Ed Miliband said Mr Blair had 'got it wrong' when he allowed people from Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to work in Britain without restrictions. Mr Blair said migrants would have come sooner or later even if transitional controls had been imposed. He said: 'I don't agree it was a mistake. All we did was bring forward what would have happened anyway. In 2004 the economy was booming and we had a requirement for skilled workers from abroad. 'Supposing you put all those people from Eastern Europe back out of Britain again would we be a stronger better country? The answer is no.' Tony Blair said political leaders should attack Nigel Farage instead of pandering to his party's views . Mr Blair made the remarks in an interview with Trevor Philips, the former head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, for a Channel 4 documentary to be broadcast on Thursday. He said Labour MPs should argue back against people like Rochdale voter Gillian Duffy \u2013 the infamous Labour-supporting pensioner dismissed as a 'bigot' by Gordon Brown in the run up to the 2010 election for complaining about the levels of immigration.

Eddie Ray Routh was convicted of capital murder in the 2013 deaths of Kyle and Chad Littlefield at a rural shooting range, after jurors rejected his insanity defense. Prosecutors hadn't sought the death penalty, so Routh was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Routh's attorneys said after the February 24 verdict they would appeal. Appeal: Eddie Ray Routh, 27, is filing to appeal his capital murder charge after he was sentenced to life in jail . Killed: Routh fatally shot Chris Kyle, left, and Chad Littlefield, right, with multiple bullets in an attack in 2013 . J. Warren St. John, one of Routh's attorneys, said the notice of appeal was filed on Tuesday. St. John also filed a motion for a new trial, arguing the conviction and sentence were contrary to law and evidence. The case drew extra attention due to the film based on Kyle's memoir. Routh, 27, was emotionless as the jury read their verdict on Tuesday night: that he had not been insane when he opened fire on Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield in February 2013. They had taken him to a shooting range to help him settle back into society after he left the Marines.

People with a history of gout have their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease reduced by a quarter, a new study has found. The painful joint condition, known as the disease of kings due to Henry VIII famously suffering from it, appears to have a protective effect on the brain, researchers have said. They believe this is possibly thanks to the excess uric acid that is built up during a gout attack. The study was carried out in the United States by the Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston University Medical Centre, but analysed people in the UK by looking at The Health Improvement Network (THIN), an electronic database from GP's surgeries around the country. They looked at 3.7million people aged 40 and over but excluded anyone already diagnosed with gout or dementia. Analysis was carried out of Alzheimer's disease amongst adults with gout compared with up to five without it. Overall, the researchers identified 309 new cases of Alzheimer's disease among 59,224 patients with gout. And in their comparison group over a five-year follow-up period, they found 1,942 cases of Alzheimer's among 238,805 patients. They concluded this shows there was a 24 per cent lower risk of Alzheimer's among people with a history of gout, after taking into account age, sex, body mass index, socio-economic status, lifestyle factors, prior heart conditions and use of heart drugs. The report concluded: 'Our findings provide the first population-based evidence for the potential protective effect of gout on the risk of Alzheimer's disease and support the purported neuroprotective role of uric acid.

'We fully intend to retry Mr. Chouest,' said Lafourche District Attorney Cam Morvant II. A coroner's report showed that Galjour was intoxicated at the time he was shot.

+{"article": "Change of heart: Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart wrote a piece this week, criticizing the labeling of Michael Brown as a symbol of the Black Lives Matter movement . When Michael Brown was shot in the St Louis, Missouri suburb of Ferguson last summer, like many other African-Americans, Jonathan Capehart was incensed by the seemingly senseless death of another young black teen. But in a new column for the Washington Post, Capehart says he no longer believes Brown is an appropriate symbol for the renewed civil rights movement in the U.S. and that white police officer Darren Wilson was justified in the shooting. When Brown was shot dead on August 9, 2014, early reports said he was holding his hands in the air, surrendering, and asking Wilson not to shoot. In the mass outrage that swept through the predominantly-black community following his death, many used 'hands up, don't shoot' as a rallying cry. Capehart says the release of federal investigations into the shooting, and the Ferguson Police Department in general, this month have forced him to re-evaluate Brown as a victim. The investigation revealed that Brown had not in fact had his arms up when he was shot, based on witness testimonies and autopsy results. That story line mainly stems from Brown's friend Dorian Johnson, who was walking with him the day he was shot. In his interview with the press, Johnson's details of the shooting continued to change. 'The DOJ report notes on page 44 that Johnson \u201cmade multiple statements to the media immediately following the incident that spawned the popular narrative that Wilson shot Brown execution-style as he held up his hands in surrender\" 'In one of those interviews, Johnson said that Brown was shot in the back by Wilson. It was then that Johnson said Brown stopped, turned around with his hands up and said, \u201cI don\u2019t have a gun, stop shooting!\u201d And, like that, \u201chands up, don\u2019t shoot\u201d became the mantra of a movement. 'But it was wrong, built on a lie,' Capehart wrote. New evidence: Capehart said the new federal investigation results show that white police officer Darren Wilson (right) was justified in killing Brown (left) 'Based on a lie': In the aftermath of the shooting, Brown's friend and witness Dorian Johnson (center), said his hands were up in surrender when he was shot. But those statements were refuted in the official investigation, which reported that Brown was running towards Wilson when he was shot . Based on the investigation's damning results, Capehart says Brown is now an 'inappropriate symbol' for the Black Lives Matter movement. However, he says that the new information should not 'diminish the importance of the real issues' sparked by his death. In fact, Capehart said, the investigation into the Ferguson Police Department showed law enforcement in the community had been blatantly 'trampling' on the constitutional rights of residents who are mostly African American, which explains why the community 'exploded the moment Brown was killed.' Capehart said it's 'imperative that we continue marching for and giving voice to those killed in racially charged", "summary": "Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart says new evidence shows Darren Wilson was justified in shooting Michael Brown .

Snooker legend Stephen Hendry has won a five-year battle with his neighbours to build 11 luxury homes in the back garden of his mansion \u2013 just a stone's throw from Gleneagles. The seven-times world champion, 46, is set to build a multi-million pound housing development on land currently used as a horse paddock and stables on his Perthshire country estate. He and neighbour Alexander Birnie teamed up to apply for permission to build 11 new homes less than two miles from the world-famous course at Gleneagles. But the move upset residents in the upmarket village who voiced fears that it will invade their privacy and spoil the natural beauty of the area. The Auchterarder development was originally given the go-ahead in 2012 but construction never started because of the decline in the housing market. Renewed plans were submitted to Perth and Kinross Council last month by Mr Birnie's company Craigmount Developments and they have now been given the green light. Drawings submitted in 2011 for a planned house on Mr Hendry's land show a large four-bedroom property. The proposed house has a massive snooker room at the rear as well as a studio, a TV room, a drawing room and a built-in garage. Mr Hendry left the family home last year after splitting from his wife Mandy, but he still owns the land. The couple moved into the turreted five-bedroom mansion in 1996 after paying \u00a3300,000 and they carried out extensive renovations. They rented the house out for rumoured five-figure sum during the golf tournament. Council planners approved the application after finding it complied with the local development plan and that there were no 'material considerations' to justify refusal. The former player and his neighbour Alexander Birnie teamed up to apply for permission to build 11 new homes less than two miles from the world-famous course at Gleneagles, pictured are planned new homes . In an objection letter sent to the council, neighbour Colin Campbell said: 'You have requested comments from property owners bordering this development. What is the point? 'Your department has already rubber-stamped every housing development plan for Auchterarder in recent years. 'Bett Homes, Cala, Robertson Homes, Muir Homes, Milne Homes etc together will build in excess of 1,000 new homes. 'When occupied this will double the population of Auchterarder with little or no consideration given by you to the impact of schooling, town parking, medical facilities or shopping facilities. 'This application is yet another example of a developer squeezing many properties onto a small plot.' Another neighbour said: 'I am concerned about the loss of privacy this would cause and because it spoils the status quo. 'The area is absolutely beautiful in terms of the visibility I have right up to the Grampians and we thought we were very lucky to find this house. 'I'm not surprised our concerns have been ignored.

+{"article": "David Cameron reacted angrily to a Tory minister's warning against banning hate preachers . David Cameron reacted with fury after a Tory minister warned against banning radical preachers from universities during a fiery Cabinet meeting, it has been revealed. The Prime Minister 'jumped on' the universities minister Greg Clark after he spoke out against Home Office plans to force universities to ban non-violent 'extremists', sources said. Mr Cameron was backed up by the Home Secretary Theresa May and Communities Secretary Eric Pickles. The extraordinary row comes after it emerged Mrs May is at loggerheads with the Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable over the issue. The Home Office wants all campuses to become no-go zones for all 'extremist' speakers to prevent students becoming radicalised. But Mr Cable insists that the move could force debates 'underground', where extreme views will go unchallenged. Last month's Cabinet row suggests the issue is dividing the Tory Party as well as the Coalition. The issue has come to the fore after the unmasking of Mohammed Emwazi \u2013 a University of Westminster graduate thought to be the ISIS executioner known as Jihadi John. Westminster was named in a 2009 report as having invited three hate preachers to give a talk in 2006, and just days before Emwazi's identity was revealed, thousands signed a petition to block an event where an anti-gay figure was due to speak. Former students at the university have claimed it is a 'hotbed of radicalism' where students 'celebrated 9/11'. Former University of Westminster pupil Raheem Kassam, who campaigns against extremism at British universities, said the conditions at the university are right for the radicalisation of someone like Emwazi. New laws passed by the government put a legal requirement on universities to prevent terrorism. Mrs May insists this should include barring people with extreme views from speaking on campus. But Mr Cable, who is responsible for university policy, warns a blanket ban on radical preachers could backfire. Scroll down for video .

A source close to the Business Secretary said: 'There are of course cases when banning is justified but as long as speakers don't invite terrorism - which is illegal - there are times when it's better to demolish extreme views through open debate and challenge. 'If the default option is to ban outright, there is a chance the debate will happen anyway outside the campus in an uncontrolled 'underground' environment, with no challenge to extreme views at all.' But Mrs May said : 'If colleges and universities didn't realise before what we are up against, they should know now. We're not talking about regulating legitimate debate \u2014 we're saying they need to do more to stop radicalisation on campus.'

Men and boys were targeted by gunmen after they stormed Njaba in eastern Nigeria before burning the remote village to the ground. The assault took place early on Tuesday as many villagers in the isolated community were heading to morning prayers. 'The attack was not immediately known because the village is very remote and our men couldn't access the area,' said a military source. Nigerian troops have been struggling to control Boko Haram. Pictured: Chardian soldiers near the front line in Gambaru, Nigeria . One woman, Falmata Bisika, 62, lost four of her grandchildren in the raid, which she said was carried out by gunmen 'armed to the teeth' with weapons and explosives. The militants destroyed homes and businesses with petrol bombs and shot anyone attempting to flee, 'especially teenagers and the elderly', she said. Muminu Haruna, 42, said he hid in a grain silo behind his house for several hours with about eight other people until the gunmen left. 'I participated in the counting of dead bodies... 68 people were killed,' he said in an account supported by two civilian vigilantes. 'These included both males and females, some were slaughtered and others shot dead and most of the houses in our village have been destroyed.' Njaba is 20 kilometres from the town of Damboa, which was seized by Boko Haram last June, forcing thousands to flee, but later recaptured by troops helped by civilian vigilantes. Boko Haram's six-year insurgency to carve out an Islamic state in the northeast of Nigeria has killed thousands and displaced over 1.5 million people. The group gained worldwide notoriety in April 2014 after its members kidnapped over 200 schoolgirls from the town of Chibokin Borno state, the heartland of Boko Haram. The slow government response sparked the movement Bring BackOur Girls that has been seeking international support and lobbying the government to keep up the search. Today, a representative for President Goodluck met the girls' families in Maiduguri. Boko Haram control a large area of Borno state and have also carried out cross-border raids in Cameroon, Niger, and Chad. A military coalition has recaptured several towns in recent weeks.

Samantha Cameron received an estimated \u00a3400,000 windfall from the sale of the luxury stationery company where she works, it was claimed last night. Smythson was bought in April 2005 by a group of prominent City figures for some \u00a315.8million. According to a report by The Guardian last night, Mrs Cameron would have received \u00a31,589.20 for each of her 275 shares, giving her a lump sum windfall of \u00a3437,000 before tax as a result of the sale. The company was acquired by a consortium of City grandees, including some who have donated to the Conservative Party. At the time of the sale on April 30, 2005, Mr Cameron was the Tories' head of policy coordination, a largely back office role. He was appointed shadow education secretary six days later, in the wake of the Tories' election defeat. Among those who were reportedly involved in the deal were Jonathan Green, the founder of the GLG hedge fund, Howard Shore, who set up the stockbroker group Shore Capital, and members of the Fleming banking family. All are Tory donors. Last night a spokesman for Samantha Cameron said: 'The sale of Smythson happened before the 2005 General Election, when Michael Howard was leader of the Conservative Party. 'Samantha Cameron was not a board director and was not responsible for the sale. It would be entirely wrong to suggest any wrongdoing or attempts to obtain undue influence.' Mrs Cameron began working at Smythson as a window dresser in 1996, the same year the couple married. By the time of the sale she was creative director. The Guardian also reported that Mrs Cameron will have received a second windfall when the firm was sold again in 2009 because she held shares in the new parent company, although this was estimated to be a 'much smaller sum'. It is calculated that Samantha Cameron received more than \u00a3400,000 before tax from the sale in April 2005 . Since 2010, Mrs Cameron has worked as a creative consultant for the company for two days a week. Smythson's store in central London's New Bond Street sells among its stock \u00a32,000 python-skin handbags. Mrs Cameron is thought to earn up to \u00a3100,000 a year.

Bilardi, who fled to the Middle East last year from his Melbourne home, reportedly died after he blew himself up in a suicide mission targeting the Iraqi armed forces at Ramadi in central Iraq last week. The attack was a failure. Iraqi military spokesman General Tahssin Ibrahim said no one was killed and just a few vehicles were damaged in Bilardi's suicide mission.

Earlier social media posts suggested Bilardi had wanted to take part in a suicide bombing in Baiji in Iraq, but that he pulled out of this mission because he got cold feet. Instead he fought in the city before again signing up for martrydom and being sent to Ramadi in Iraq. The latest post said Bilardi was 'full of happiness as he was finally going to meet his Lord and receive the great rewards promised by Him.' But it goes on to mock his sacrifice.

A fake BBC weather forecast showed rain falling on the fictional village of Ambridge, near Birmingham . This week's episodes of The Archers have followed events taking place over one day of severe rainfall in Ambridge, with the drama building throughout the day as the River Am burst its banks.

Forty skiers were taking part Monday in the 12th annual 100,000 Vertical Foot Challenge charity event for Make-A-Wish. Skiers were to log a total of 48 trail runs to achieve 100,000 vertical feet over the day.

President Obama said the type of racial discrimination found in Ferguson, Missouri, is not unique to that police department, and he cast law enforcement reform as a chief struggle for today's civil rights movement. Obama said improving civil rights and civil liberties with police is one of the areas that 'requires collective action and mobilization' 50 years after pivotal civil rights marches brought change to the country. The president made his first remarks about this week's Justice Department report of racial bias in Ferguson, which found officers routinely discriminating against blacks by using excessive force. The Justice Department refused to prosecute Ferguson cop Darren Wilson despite compiling a 350,000-page report on racial profiling in the Missouri city which 'led to' him fatally shooting unarmed black teen Michael Brown on August 9, 2014. 'I don't think that is typical of what happens across the country, but it's not an isolated incident,' Obama told The Joe Madison Radio Show on Sirius XM radio's Urban View channel. 'I think that there are circumstances in which trust between communities and law enforcement have broken down, and individuals or entire departments may not have the training or the accountability to make sure that they're protecting and serving all people and not just some.' Obama's interview was to preview his trip Saturday to Selma, Alabama, where he plans to speak from the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where white police officers beat civil rights protesters on March 7, 1965. Obama last visited Selma in 2007, when he was running for the Democratic presidential nomination and spoke about the responsibility of those who came after the civil rights generation of the '60s to carry on the struggle. It was a theme he reiterated ahead of his return visit. In another interview with radio host Tom Joyner, Obama said that despite the progress in race relations over the past 50 years, the Justice Department findings about Ferguson show that civil rights 'is an unfinished project.' 'There is work to be done right now,' he said. On Friday, Obama was kicking off the weekend's 50th anniversary with a town hall meeting at South Carolina's Benedict College, a historically black college. The White House said Obama plans to speak about efforts young people made throughout history to expand opportunity. Obama's visit to Columbia is his first trip to South Carolina as president. Obama has just two other states to reach his goal of traveling to all 50 in office - South Dakota and Utah. Catalyst: The Justice Department began the civil rights investigation following the August shooting of Michael Brown (left), an unarmed black 18-year-old, by white police officer Darren Wilson (right) The Justice Department report of bias in Ferguson that came out this week revealed that 88 per cent of people against whom police used excessive force were African-American (a protester pictured on August 15 last year during a demonstration)", "summary": "Obama said that there are places where trust between police and the communities they serve has broken down .

Less than 48 hours after claiming their one-day prize, the Aussies turned their attention on the summer's Ashes series. While captain Michael Clarke might have marked Sunday's final triumph over New Zealand by confirming his retirement from the 50-over game, his desire for Test cricket success burns as bright as ever. Australia celebrate after winning the World Cup in Melbourne on Sunday . Clarke was still recovering from a day-long champagne party with fans on the streets of Melbourne when the Aussies confirmed their squad to play a Test series in the West Indies before arriving in England for the start of the Ashes in July. And if Alastair Cook & Co still have nightmare memories of the way they were blown apart by the pace of Mitchell Johnson as they suffered a 5-0 whitewash in Australia, then there is a new nightmare to come. Australia could have as many as four bowlers who have all logged speeds of 90mph plus in their line-up, with both Johnson and his World Cup pace partner Mitchell Starc in the squad. World Cup hero Glenn Maxwell is the glaring omission despite starring on Australia's run to the final . They will be backed up by Ryan Harris, who misses the West Indies trip to stay home for the birth of his first child but will then join up in time for the Ashes. While 24-year-old James Pattinson is also not on the list because he is currently out with a damaged left hamstring, he will also be monitored with the chance to be included in time to travel to England. Clarke will lead a side anxious to rub away bitter memories of their last Ashes tour when they were beaten 3-0 in 2013. World Cup batting hero Steve Smith, who averaged only 38 in that series, is a far improved batsman now and will be expected to get big runs. David Warner, axed from the early Tests and sent away in disgrace after throwing a punch at Joe Root in a nightclub, will also want to make his mark on the series. National selector Rod Marsh told cricketaustralia.com.au: 'The Test team has performed very well in recent times, but the big challenge is to do that away from home. 'We believe this squad has sufficient depth for these important Test matches against the West Indies and England and will give us the best chance of success.'

The FA clampdown on such incidents has seen an increase in clubs in the top five divisions \u2013 from the Premier League to the Conference - charged with 'surrounding match officials' (three or more players from one club approach a match official in a confrontational manner) from six last season to 16 with another three months of the campaign still to go.

Sutter Home, Korbel, Franzia and Trader Joe's Charles Shaw White Zifandel, also known as 'Two-Buck Chuck,' were just a few of the 31 wine brands the lawsuit claimed were unsafe. Twenty-eight California wineries were listed in the complaint, which is asking for a halt in production of the wines in question. Scroll down for video . A new lawsuit claims dozens of cheap and popular California Wine, including Franzia and Trader Joe's Charles Shaw White Zifandel, are tainted with dangerously high levels of arsenic . The lawsuit was filed by four individual Southern California wine consumers who, according to their attorney Brian Kabateck, had 1,306 wines tested at a Denver-based laboratory and then confirmed results with two additional laboratories. Kabateck said 83 wines, almost all of which sell for below $10 a bottle, contained arsenic levels 10 parts per billion above the range considered safe for drinking water. The Environmental Protection Agency standard for drinking water is 10 parts per billion - meaning that the tests allegedly found arsenic levels that were double the federal drinking water standard. 'This is a very serious public health concern,' Kabateck said. 'We would hope the wine industry would take these wines off the shelf immediately.' 'If not voluntarily, we would ask the court to do it.' The United States does not have a set standard for safe levels of arsenic in wine, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The lawsuit claims 83 of the 1,306 wines that were tested contained arsenic levels 10 parts per billion above the range considered safe for drinking water . But wines are allowed to have arsenic levels up to 100 parts per billion in Canada - and other countries allow even higher levels. The Wine Institute, an advocacy group for California wineries, called the lawsuit 'misleading' and 'false'. According to Institute spokeswoman Gladys Horiuchi, California wines have never come close to exceeding the arsenic levels that are accepted in other countries, she told the Associated Press. In a release statement, the Institute said arsenic was 'prevalent in the natural environment' and that 'no research' had found the amounts in wine to 'pose a health risk to consumers'. The lawsuit specifies the wines contained 'inorganic arsenic,' which is more toxic than the arsenic found naturally in the environment. Chronic long-term consumption of inorganic arsenic can cause cancer, as well as liver and kidney damage. But a number of wine producers have fought back at the lawsuit and said they plan to contest the claims. A Trader Joe's spokesman said the grocery store chain had 'no reason to believe the wines we offer are unsafe, including Charles Shaw White Zinfandel'.

New guidance says health professionals should carefully consider whether medical intervention is in the baby's best interest, and shouldn't be carried out 'just because the technology is there'. Continuing treatment to keep the baby alive can sometimes actually cause greater suffering, child health doctors said. Doctors should carefully consider whether saving the lives of premature babies is the kindest course of action, new guidance from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) says . The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) today released a new framework, which advises doctors on how to care for children and babies with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. It asks medics to weight up the benefits of prolonged treatment versus the suffering the young patient might be likely to experience. It says seriously ill children should be given a greater say in whether they want to continue receiving treatment which is keeping them alive. The updated information provides three sets of circumstances for when limiting or withdrawing the treatment of children and babies can be considered. This can be done when life is limited in quality or when life is limited in quantity. Treatment can also be limited or withdrawn when there is 'competent refusal of treatment' - if an older child with extensive experience of illness repeatedly consents to stopping their medical care. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) advises doctors on when to treat children and babies with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses. It says life-sustaining treatment can be limited or withdrawn when: . For example, a child that has undergone repeated cycles of chemotherapy or had organ transplantation, 'will have more informed views about continuing treatment than an adult facing such treatment for the first time', the document says. But it adds that, equally, children may not have any experience in decision making and it therefore may not be as appropriate for them to be involved. Written by medics, lawyers and ethicists, the framework was published to provide an ethical and legal framework for doctors. Since the last version was published 10 years ago, major breakthroughs in medical science have led to better survival rates for seriously sick babies and children. Babies born at 22 or 23 weeks are now surviving. But child health experts said that just because the technology is there, it does not mean it is necessarily in the child or baby's best interests to use it if their circumstances fall under any of the categories set out. Dr Simon Newell, a consultant neonatologist and vice president of the RCPCH, said the document sets out a 'better and more family-friendly process'.

'If we beat them, they cannot do it,' Rodgers proclaims ahead of a trip to Old Trafford. He had just been asked what the consequences would be if Manchester United, who were trying desperately to keep pace in the race for the Champions League, lost to Liverpool. His words are backed up by a swaggering display, full of devilment, wit and counter-attacking menace. Manchester United are left punch-drunk by a 3-0 defeat that could have been even heavier, as Steven Gerrard \u2013 with two pressure penalties \u2013 and Luis Suarez ran amok. Steven Gerrard scored two penalties as Liverpool won 3-0 at Manchester United on March 16, 2014 . Luis Suarez (bottom) was also on the scoresheet as Liverpool built a 14-point gap over their arch-rivals . Liverpool headed home that afternoon with a 14-point gap over their rivals in the Barclays Premier League and had effectively destroyed any lingering hope that David Moyes had of commandeering a top four spot. It was a day when Rodgers saw his players make a massive statement of intent, a day that suggested there was a shift in the balance of power of this rivalry; leaving Old Trafford then, you felt it would be a long time before the deficit would be clawed back. Fast forward to March 16, 2015. Again Liverpool were away from Anfield for a vital fixture and again Rodgers' confidence in the build-up was telling but, this time, there was no performance of verve and invention to back up his pre-game message. There was, however, doggedness, determination and the result was just as crucial. Jordan Henderson's freak goal, coming after they had spent much of a rain-sodden night in South Wales riding their luck and defending for their lives, has set them up for another afternoon of destiny with their most bitter foe. Jordan Henderson scored a second-half winner for Liverpool as they won 1-0 at Swansea on Monday night . Henderson runs off to celebrate his winner that moved Liverpool within two points of the top four . Henderson's (right) shot was deflected over the top of Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and into the net . The goal was Henderson's (right) third in the last three Premier League games for Liverpool . No trophy will be presented at Anfield next Sunday but there is the sense that the winner of Liverpool and Manchester United's latest showdown will take all in relation to the final spot in next year's Champions League. It is going to be another day of reckoning. Do not underestimate how much Liverpool needed this result at the Liberty Stadium. They have stylishly worked their way into contention for the top four with a long unbeaten run but United's victory over Tottenham had threatened to alter the landscape.

+{"article": "Having rich parents doesn\u2019t just buy an expensive education and exciting holidays abroad. It may also purchase more brainpower. A study found the children from wealthy families have bigger brains than their poorer counterparts. Los Angeles researchers say being wealthy boosts brainpower. Their study found that money was important to a young mind. Parental income was found to be more important than their education. Shown is a picture of Angelina Jolie, Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt and Brad Pitt . Brain regions key to academic success were particularly large, the journal Nature Neuroscience reports. Interestingly, the study also revealed that money matters more than parental background when it comes to nourishing the young mind. In one of the first studies of its kind, the US researchers put more than 1,000 healthy children and teenagers through brain scanners and quizzed their parents on their background and income. Richer people live further away from their parents than those on modest wages, a study in December 2014 claimed. The report found workers earning less than \u00a325,000 ($37,000) live within 31 miles (50km) of their family, but this distance grows the wealthier people become. Britons who earn \u00a335,000 to \u00a345,000 ($52,000 to $67,000) live 42 miles (68km) away while those earning more than \u00a355,000 ($81,000) live 47 miles (76km) away. Annuities firm Partnership said this was because high-earning professionals were more likely to have moved away from where they grew up to secure a lucrative career. The study also found people in their 50s live closest to their ageing parents, but later move farther away to be near their own children and grandchildren. While people in their 40s lived 37 miles (60km) away, on average, this reduced to 33 miles (53km) as people reached their early 50s. The youngsters, who were between three and 20 years old, also did tests of memory and something called executive function. This term covers the mental skills that are used to weigh up options, prioritise, multi-task and plan ahead. Children with poor executive function may struggle to memorise information and be more likely to get into fights. Analysis showed important brain areas to be bigger in children whose parents had been to university than those whose education had finished when they left school. However, parental income was even more important. Brain areas key to language and executive function were bigger in children from wealthier families. These youngsters also did better in the mental tests. Researcher Dr Elizabeth Sowell, of the Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles, said: \u2018Our data suggest that wider access to resources likely afforded by the more affluent may lead to differences in a child\u2019s brain structure. \u2018Access to higher-quality childcare, more cognitively stimulating materials in the home and opportunities for learning outside the home likely account for some of these effects.\u2019 Analysis showed important brain areas to be bigger in children whose parents had been to university than those whose education had finished when they left school.

They then continued to the already full central pens on the terrace which led to the fatal crushing.

Mr Greaney went on: 'Do you agree with the following, that people died in a crush in the central pens?' Mr Duckenfield said: 'Yes sir.'

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust said a decision to refer upper gastrointestinal operations for throat and stomach cancer patients to St Thomas' in London, taken last year, will be a permanent move . Medical director Paul Sigston said: 'The trust will not be resuming upper GI cancer resection surgery, but diagnostic work and cancer treatment will continue to take place locally at both Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells hospitals. 'Major upper GI cancer surgery will not be carried out at MTW and we are currently working with our NHS partners to plan the long-term strategy for patients needing this kind of treatment.' The service was given a high-profile launch in 2010 and included the opportunity for consultants and trainees to watch on screen at a lecture theatre next door. But subsequent investigations found more than 30 per cent of patients who underwent the surgery developed complications. The trust initially suspended operations in December 2012 following two deaths and resumed in January 2013 before three more fatalities forced them to stop again. A report by the Royal College of Surgeons last May concluded that surgeons at Maidstone Hospital were unable to provide a safe service. Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust admitted potentially avoidable complications could have contributed to the five deaths between 2012 and 2013. Three surgeons were barred from carrying out the procedures, but all have been allowed to continue doing general surgery. The decision came after an internal review found the deaths of five patients between 2012 and 2013 could have been avoided . The report says the team was \u2018dysfunctional\u2019, their working practices were \u2018secretive\u2019, and they had a \u2018difficult\u2019 relationship with anaesthetists. It found there was a high rate of complications associated with the keyhole techniques, and that after care for patients was poor. Speaking last May, Dr Sigston, medical director of the trust, said: \u2018I would again like to apologise to the families involved.\u2019 The incidents were referred to the General Medical Council and the trust also conducted its own internal inquiry while procedures were suspended. Sharon Lam, from Thomson Snell and Passmore solicitors, represents the families of the five patients who died and said they welcomed the decision not to resume surgery. She said: 'If they have any doubt as to their ability to deliver a safe service to the patients then that must be a correct decision.'", "summary": "Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust halted surgery last year .

The American Pet Products Association's annual report on pet industry spending says Americans spent $58 billion in 2014 on their 397 million pets, which range from freshwater fish and reptiles to cats and dogs. The industry trade group released the survey Thursday at the Global Pet Expo, an annual trade show in Orlando, Florida. The data came from a variety of groups, market research studies and media reports. The American Pet Products Association's annual report on pet industry spending says Americans spent $58 billion in 2014 on their 397 million pets, which range from freshwater fish and reptiles to cats and dogs . Here's a snapshot of how we spend money on pets: . WHERE THE MONEY GOES . The association measures five areas of spending. Last year, people spent $22 billion on food; $15 billion on veterinary care; $14 billion on supplies such as beds, bowls and collars and over-the-counter medicine to fight ailments such as fleas, ticks and colds; $4.8 billion on other services; and $2 billion on animals themselves. The 'other services' category grew the fastest in 2014 and includes payments on grooming, boarding, walking, training, day care and even trips to the spa \u2014 where pets can get facials and massages, said Bob Vetere, president and CEO of the pet products association, based in Greenwich, Connecticut. Food: $22.62 billion . Supplies/OTC Medicine: $13.72 billion . Vet Care: $15.25 billion . Live animal purchases: $2.19 billion . Grooming & boarding: $4.73 billion . The breakdown of pet expenses above is an estimation by the American Pet Products Association based on its annual report on pet industry . VET VISITS FLAT . The report says trips to the veterinarian were unchanged or slightly down last year, although expenditures per visit have increased as owners green-light more expensive procedures, Vetere said. Those treatments ranged from the lifesaving to the exotic, like plastic surgery. A robust human-animal bond still exists, especially with dogs and cats, and people are doing more to prolong their pets' lives, from surgery to food, Vetere said. WHAT'S FOR DINNER . If food for pets sometimes sounds good enough to eat, it's because it is. San Diego-based Honest Kitchen and Vero Beach, Florida-based Caru Natural Dog Stews are two pet food brands considered human-grade by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because their grub is made with ingredients palatable by people and produced in facilities meeting higher safety requirements. Americans spent the most on food for their pets last year, and much of it mirrored human trends, such as gluten-free, wheat-free, little sugar or reduced-calorie. The feast might come dry, wet, raw, baked, flaked, shredded, diced, sliced, frozen or freeze-dried. PET SALES DOWN . Sales of the animals themselves dropped from $2.23 billion in 2013 to $2.15 billion in 2014, which was expected because spending in the category has fallen slightly each of the past several years, Vetere said. There is likely no one reason, he said.

+{"article": "If you're the sort of gentleman who holds the door open for a lady \u2013 or the sort of woman who expects him to \u2013 then be warned. Such acts of chivalry may actually be 'benevolent sexism' in disguise, according to researchers. Experts say this type of sexism is harder to spot than the 'hostile sexism' we are more familiar with \u2013 because it often masquerades as gallantry. It is typified by paternal and protective behaviour, from encouraging smiles to holding doors open. Sexist? Boston researchers carried out a study into types of sexism in men. They say there are two types of sexists, identifiable by their smile (stock image shown) 'Hostile sexist men' were less approachable and less friendly while those who displayed 'benevolent sexism' were nicer and smiled more . US researchers argue that while women may enjoy being showered with attention, benevolent sexism is 'insidious' and men who are guilty of it see women as incompetent beings who require their 'cherished protection'. Professor Judith Hall, of Northeastern University in Boston, said: 'Benevolent sexism is like a wolf in sheep's clothing that perpetuates support for gender inequality among women. 'These supposed gestures of good faith may entice women to accept the status quo in society because sexism literally looks welcoming, appealing and harmless.' Working with a male colleague, Professor Hall paired 27 men with women they had never met before and gave them a quiz game to play and time to chat afterwards. Ladies should behave like men if they want to work in male-dominated industries, according to a controversial study. Research by Professor Ann Marie Ryan, a psychologist at Michigan State University, suggests recruiters prefer more masculine traits to those commonly associated with women. She asked women to apply for leadership roles in male-dominated industries such as engineering in front of a panel of volunteers asked to evaluate the candidates' suitability. Some of the women were asked to emphasise 'masculine-like' traits such as assertiveness, independence and raw ambition. Others were asked to display more 'feminine traits' - warmth, supportiveness and a nurturing nature. The panel, irrespective of the gender of those sitting on it, decided that leadership required more dominant and assertive traits to be shown during the interview process. The men, who were aged 18 to 22, also filled in a survey designed to detect sexist attitudes. Examples of hostile sexism included agreeing that women tend to exaggerate problems at work, while someone who is benevolently sexist will believe women should be rescued before men from a sinking ship. They found men whose answers led to them being classed as benevolently sexist smiled more while playing the quiz game and chatting. They were more patient while waiting for their female partners to answer the trivia questions and warmer, friendlier and chattier than those who were hostile sexists. Writing in the journal Sex Roles, the researchers said that while such behaviour may be well-intentioned, this doesn't mean it isn't harmful. Men who are guilty of benevolent sexism see women as 'warm and pure, yet helpless and incompetent beings'. Study", "summary": "Boston researchers carried out a study into types of sexism in men .

A new documentary series called Teens, which airs its first episode tonight on Channel 4, follows a group of teenagers from Davenant Foundation School in Loughton, Essex for a year and charts how modern technology has changed the way young people interact. The cameras started to follow the group in January 2014 and continued to record their antics until the end of December. Scroll down for video .

What becomes clear early on in the programme is how much each teen uses their phone \u2013 whether it is to engage on social media or simply text their parents.

Laura Lee, 37, believes the legislation will put women's lives in danger by driving prostitution underground. In response, she's assembled a 'crack team' of legal experts to fight the legislation all the way to the European Court of Justice. For the past 18 years, Laura has earned her living as a sex worker, travelling between Scotland and Ireland and juggling the job with motherhood, studying and activism. Laura Lee, 37, has worked in the sex industry for 18 years and believes new legislation will put lives in danger . 'The work I do is very diverse,' Laura said. 'I'm a dominatrix, I provide a \"girlfriend experience\" and I also work with the disabled and terminally ill.' Laura says her clients fall into three categories. 'The first group are what I call my Duracell bunnies,' she said. 'These are the young guys who watch a lot of porn and think that good sex is just how long you can pound away for, which of course it's not. They can be difficult to deal with but they're good fun. 'I see a lot of guys in their 50s who got married at 20 and found the sex died off. It can be because they drifted apart from their wife but, in some cases, it's sadder; the wife may have developed a degenerative condition like Alzheimer's or MS or Parkinson's. 'Sometimes it's on their conscience for a long time before they contact me but they've come to the conclusion that it's better for everybody. Laura says her clients fall into three categories - including 'Duracell bunnies' who 'pound away' Until June 1, laws governing prostitution in Northern Ireland remain similar to the rest of the UK and the Republic of Ireland. This means that prostitution itself is legal, but most activities associated with it (such as soliciting in a public place or running a brothel) are illegal. Once the Human Trafficking and Exploitation Act comes into force, it will be illegal for consenting adults to pay for sex in Northern Ireland. 'The third category are my older guys. They're usually widows, terribly lonely, and they just want cuddles and company more than anything else.' Laura is careful when choosing her clients, ensuring that she's safe and that men are clear about what the session will involve, especially when they're booking her as a dominatrix. 'I get a good grasp before-hand of what they're expecting,' she said. 'We pretty much agree a scenario but part of my job as a dominatrix is encouraging people to push their boundaries. This could be through things like spanking, caning, cross-dressing or role play.' At the moment, transactions like this between Laura and her Northern Irish clients are legal. However, from June 1, a new law will mean that men who pay Laura for sex could be arrested. The legislation is being championed by Democratic Unionist peer Lord Morrow. It will make Northern Ireland the first region in", "summary": "Laura Lee, 37, travels between Scotland and Ireland as a sex worker .

It was only Carney's second appearance in Super League after joining the Catalans on a three-year contract. Catalan Dragons' Todd Carney is expected to be out of acton for three to four weeks with a broken rib . Carney was taken to hospital for X-rays after damaging his ribs during match against Salford . Referee Phil Bentham ruled that Salford forward Lama Tasi was committed to the tackle on the Australian stand-off but the incident infuriated Dragons coach Laurent Frayssinous, who insists the Red Devils player should have been punished and expects him to be charged when the Rugby Football League's match-review panel study the incident on Monday. Frayssinous was fiercely critical earlier this season of what he claimed was a failure of referees to protect his playmakers and in particular full back Morgan Escare and expressed his fears that Carney would become a target. 'I said I was worried over the protection of my quality players and it has happened in only his second game,' Frayssinous said. 'I expect Tasi to be charged but I also thought he should have been shown a card.' Frayssinous was also angered by the decision of Bentham to penalise Escare in the closing moments for playing on after being tackled near his own line. That enabled Josh Griffin to draw the match but Frayssinous said his full-back should have been allowed to go back and play the ball and expects his critical post-match comments, in which he accused officials of double standards, to result in a fine. 'I hope that my \u00a3500 will help the referee to be better next week,' he said.

Woods posted the highest score of his professional career, a mind-boggling 11-over-par 82, to miss the cut at the Phoenix Open in January, and many pundits believe he is suffering from the chipping 'yips'. He withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines early last month after 11 holes because of tightness in his back, and he is still adapting to the fifth swing change of his career. Woods is currently on an indefinite break from the sport but aims to qualify for the 2016 Ryder Cup .

Shadow chancellor Ed Balls said he was \u2018absolutely looking at that for the future\u2019 when asked whether a future Labour government would turn its attention to non-doms. There are an estimated 116,000 non-doms living in the UK who only have to pay UK taxes on money they bring into the country. Income from overseas investments does not have to be declared. Shadow chancellor Ed Balls is considering a new crackdown on so-called \u2018non-doms\u2019 \u2013 wealthy foreigners who live in Britain but avoid paying tax on their overseas income . In 2008 Labour announced plans to charge non-doms \u00a330,000 a year if they had been resident in the UK for seven of the previous ten years. Last year George Osborne announced this charge would be increased to up to \u00a390,000 for those who have lived here for 17 out of the past 20 years. Mr Balls told the Daily Mail: \u2018One of the challenges that you\u2019ve always got to do if you\u2019re going to be a good chancellor is always be asking the question are the tax rules set in previous eras still the right rules for today? \u2018And we know we\u2019ve got some real challenges around international tax rules, when companies like Google or Starbucks can move their operations around the world.' He added: \u2018And I think some of those issues\u2026going back 200 years is right that we modernise the rules and that we\u2019re tougher to make sure that people who are living in our city and working in our country, pay taxes in our country. \u2018I think people expect Government to do that and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve all got to do. He added: \u2018I think we need to make sure that people living in our country are paying their fair share of tax. We can do that through the mansion tax, which we are proposing. But we toughened up the rules on non-doms. George Osborne has done a bit more on that and I\u2019m absolutely looking at that for the future.\u2019 In an editorial on Monday, the influential newspaper the Financial Times called for non-dom rules to be abolished, pointing out they dated back to 1799 to allow those with foreign property to shelter it from new war taxes. Last year George Osborne announced the charge paid by non-doms who have lived in the UK for 17 out of the past 20 years would be increased to \u00a390,000 a year .

Now it has been made clear how deeply the singer's two oldest children, Debby Campbell-Cloyd and Travis Campbell, are unhappy with the arrangement. Scroll down for video . Frail: Country music legend Glen Campbell is now the subject of a court battle between his wife of 32 years and his two eldest children, who say she is isolating him from other family members as he battles Alzheimer's . The pair filed a court petition in January, saying Kim Campbell is keeping their father 'secluded from the rest of the family' which has been 'prohibited from participating in his care and/or treatment.' The petition claims that Kim Campbell is not providing her husband with needed toiletries and clothing, not visiting him regularly and possibly mishandling his finances. It says several of his eight children - the three youngest of which were with Kim - are not on his list of allowed visitors. And it alleges that Kim Campbell has allowed her husband to be interviewed and filmed at the facility, even though his disease has progressed to the point where that is inappropriate. The petition to a Nashville court concludes by asking a judge to appoint conservators and a guardian to protect Glen Campbell's interests.

While two in three people are eating breakfast every day, the study found one in 13 never had a morning meal. Of those who are regularly missing out, two-thirds said they found it difficult to eat early in the morning, with other reasons including not considering breakfast important, not having time, preferring to stay in bed and having too many chores. The results showed more people were regularly missing the first meal of the day, compared with the 20 per cent who were skipping it three years ago. The time taken to eat the meal is also lower, now at just over nine minutes compared to almost ten in 2012. What the nation is eating for breakfast appears to be constantly changing, too. While cold cereals, porridge, fruit and toast remain the staple morning fuel for the majority of breakfasters, the fry up has now become an occasional treat with only 1.5 per cent of respondents saying they started the day with a traditional breakfast most days of the week.

David Cameron vowed last year to end the scandal of so-called \u2018fiscal drag\u2019, which has seen millions dragged into paying 40p tax by freezing and cutting the starting threshold.] . Scroll down for video . The Chancellor used the Budget to announce a modest \u2018down payment\u2019 on Tory plans to raise bracket for paying higher-rate tax to \u00a350,000 . It had been thought that the Liberal Democrats would veto the introduction of any rise ahead of the election. But Mr Osborne cheered Tory MPs by announcing a series of modest increases in the 40p threshold in the coming years, culminating in a 1.4 per cent rise in 2017 \u2013 just above the forecast inflation rate of 1.2 per cent. Married couples have gained from an increase in the transferrable tax allowance. The Chancellor announced that the amount a spouse can transfer to their partner is being raised by \u00a350 \u2013 in line with the rise in the personal income tax allowance. The tax break comes into force on April 1. It was originally planned that married couples in which one person earned under the \u00a310,500 income tax threshold would be allowed to transfer \u00a31,050 of their allowance to their spouse. Now that the personal allowance has been raised, the Chancellor\u2019s move means that taxpayers will be able to transfer \u00a31,100 of their allowance to their spouse \u2013 an increase of \u00a350. As a result, couples will be able to save around \u00a3220 a year. Labour have said they will scrap the tax break if they win the election. In his speech, George Osborne said: \u2018In this Budget the rate of the new transferable tax allowance for married couples will rise to \u00a31,100. That\u2019s the allowance coming in just two weeks\u2019 time to help over 4million couples \u2013 help that Labour would take away, but we on this side are proud to provide.\u2019 It only applies to couples in which there is one basic rate taxpayer, with the other earning less than the personal allowance. The Tories said that stay-at-home parents and those who work part-time would be the biggest beneficiaries from the change. The plans mean that the income at which the higher rate is payable will rise from \u00a341,865 to \u00a342,385 in April 2015, \u00a342,700 in April 2016 and \u00a343,300 in April 2017. Treasury aides said the number of people dragged in to paying higher-rate tax would be 100,000 lower as a result.

Cardiovascular diseases including heart attacks and stroke are the leading cause of death in the UK, and researchers said the processes underlying these start in youth.

After an elderly man uses a microphone to read to the crowd from his notes, the executioner then steps forward with the blade poised above the men's heads in the unnamed city in northern Iraq. The executioner stands with the sword poised above the man's head as a large crowd gathers to watch . The beheading appears to take place at a traffic roundabout in northern Iraq's Nineveh province .

McNeil Consumer Healthcare, of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, acknowledged failing to take corrective action after discovering the adulterated bottles of Infants' and Children's Tylenol and Children's Motrin. The company agreed to pay $25 million to resolve the case. Metal particles, including nickel, iron and chromium, were introduced during the manufacturing process at McNeil's plant in Fort Washington. Prosecutors said McNeil knew about the problem for nearly a year but failed to take immediate steps to fix it. Admission: McNeil Consumer Healthcare acknowledged failing to take corrective action after discovering adulterated bottles of Infants' and Children's Tylenol and Children's Motrin which contained metal particles . The company and prosecutors said in court Tuesday that no one was injured. 'McNeil's failure to comply with current good manufacturing practices is seriously troubling,' Acting Assistant Attorney General Mizer said in a statement after the judge accepted McNeil's plea. 'The Department of Justice will continue to be aggressive in pursuing and punishing companies such as McNeil that disregard a process designed to assure quality medicines, especially OTC drugs for infants and children,' he said. McNeil is a unit of Johnson & Johnson. The New Brunswick, New Jersey, health care giant has struggled with scores of product recalls since 2009. In this case, McNeil first learned of the particle problem in May 2009, when a consumer complained about black specks inside a bottle of Infants' Tylenol, according to court documents. McNeil subsequently found metal particles during production but continued making the liquid medicines for several more months. Products: Metal particles, including nickel, iron and chromium, were introduced during the manufacturing process at McNeil's plant in Fort Washington . 'There were investigative steps taken, but not all of the steps required under all of our internal operating procedures,' company attorney Michael Schwartz told The Associated Press on Tuesday. McNeill eventually traced the problem to the machinery at its plant in Fort Washington and issued a recall. The Food and Drug Administration said the potential for serious medical problems was remote but advised consumers to stop using the medicine. The suburban Philadelphia plant \u2014 which was linked to several recalls of Tylenol and other nonprescription drugs for children and adults \u2014 was shuttered in April 2010 and rebuilt from the ground up, but it has yet to reopen. The company is operating under an agreement with the FDA requiring increased inspections and oversight at its factories. McNeil said Tuesday it has significantly improved its procedures. 'McNeil has been implementing enhanced quality and oversight standards across its entire business to ensure we are best able to meet our commitment to consumers, patients and doctors who rely on our products,' company spokeswoman Carol Goodrich said.", "summary": "McNeil Consumer Healthcare agreed to pay $25 million to resolve the case .

+{"article": "Lord Justice Beatson has criticised the RSPCA during a court case over the investigation of a pair of a dog breeders whose animals were unlawfully inspected by the charity's officers . The RSPCA has been rapped by a High Court judge over a botched investigation into dog breeders suspected of causing unnecessary suffering to animals. The trial of Deborah Fuller, 55, and Phil Sheldrake, 59, collapsed after it emerged the animal protection agency used the wrong warrant to enter the couple's property in Lawford, Essex. Senior judge Lord Justice Beatson today threw out an application by the RSPCA for judicial review of the decision to close the case - insisting it was important 'officers of the state' respected the restrictions on their powers. The RSPCA was challenging a decision of district judge Kenneth Sheraton at Colchester Magistrates' Court in June last year blocking the prosecution. Judge Sheraton excluded evidence obtained during a search of premises owned by Deborah Fuller, 55, and Phil Sheldrake, 59, who pleaded not guilty to 16 charges of causing unnecessary suffering to dogs and failing to take reasonable steps to meet their needs. The case related to 42 Ridgebacks and two Hamiltonstovare seized from Fuller and Sheldrake's house in Lawford, Essex, in August 2013, when RSPCA inspectors accompanied officers from Tendring Council and the police on to their property. The search led to RSPCA allegations that some 17 of the dogs were emaciated, six of them severely so, and one was suffering from a facial tumour. All the dogs are currently being looked after by the RSPCA. The trial was halted when it emerged that council officers had only obtained a search warrant to investigate complaints that the couple had caused a 'statutory nuisance' because of the noise of the dogs barking and the smell coming from faeces that had not been cleared up. Judge Sheraton found there was no warrant issued allowing an inspection of the condition of the dogs. The judge put down to 'inexperience and misunderstanding rather than malicious intent' that Fuller was advised that the EPA warrant permitted inspection of the dogs when it clearly did not. The RSPCA applied to the High Court in London for judicial review, arguing that even if the 'dominant purpose' of the warrant granted under the EPA was to investigate a possible statutory nuisance, there was still scope for dogs found to be in poor condition to be seized and a criminal prosecution brought. The RSPCA went to the High Court to have the botched prosecution reviewed, but its claims were rejected . Dismissing the argument Lord Justice Beatson, sitting with Mr Justice Blake, said local council officers and the RSPCA had gone on to premises 'intent on carrying out a search for purposes for which they had not been authorised'. Lord Justice Beatson said it was the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta and important to continue observing legal restrictions on 'officers of the state' - and bodies like the RSPCA acting with them - entering private land. He said the case involved 'officers of the state aided", "summary": "Trial of two dog breeders accused of neglect collapsed over warrant row .

The Leinster stalwart is now expected to be fit to face Wales, where victory would leave Ireland almost nailed-on for the Grand Slam. 'Johnny Sexton continues to improve following a mild hamstring strain,' said Kearney. 'As a precaution he will have modified training during the early part of the week with an expectation that he will train fully towards the end of the week. 'We are very happy where he is at, at the moment. He has hit all his markers so far. 'Johnny will have modified training in the early part of the week and if he comes through training through the latter part of the week, he will be available for selection. Sexton has come through all the tests asked of him so far but there is still a chance he could miss the game . 'Jamie Heaslip is expected to train fully this week and barring any setback will be available for selection. 'Sean O'Brien and Jared Payne have both progressed well through the return to play protocol and will be re-introduced to full training during the week. 'Johnny will have modified training today. Jamie will train fully today.' Team manager Kearney admitted British and Irish Lions Sexton and Heaslip are both 'extremely eager' to face Wales this weekend. Ireland are gunning to retain the Six Nations title for the first time since 1949, and also claim a second Grand Slam in six years. Sexton limped out of the latter stages of Ireland's 19-9 victory over England in Dublin on March 1 and has been battling to recover ever since. The 29-year-old has a history of hamstring problems, but Kearney does not expect that to colour his recovery. Jamie Heaslip is expected to train fully this week and barring any setback will be available for selection . 'From what I remember the last time he had a problem was between the Australia game and New Zealand game, in the November series just over 12 months ago,' said Kearney. 'He actually recovered pretty quickly then. 'He came off at half-time against Australia and was fit to play and played the whole game, or most of the game against New Zealand without any issue. 'That certainly wouldn't be a worry at the moment. 'Jamie (Heaslip) hasn't taken any contact yet. He will train fully today and provided there is no reaction he should be available for selection. 'They are extremely eager, absolutely: very eager to play.' Fit-again Ulster lock", "summary": "Fly-half Johnny Sexton has 'hit all his markers' in battling hamstring issues .

The updated code will come into effect in time for the next admission cycle for the Class of 2020. The move follows similar policy changes at all-women's colleges such as Mills College in California, Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and Mount Holyoke and Simmons College, both in Massachusetts.

Rohit was caught in the deep when he was on 90 but was allowed to keep batting when the umpires ruled that Rubel Hossain's delivery was above waist-height and therefore a no-ball, although television replays suggested it was a fair delivery. Rohit had initially been forced to abandon his normal cavalier approach as his team mates struggled to score quickly on a windy afternoon at the Melbourne Cricket Ground but exploded later in the innings. While Suresh Raina (65) was the only other batsman to make a significant contribution at a rapid strike-rate, Rohit batted for 47 overs to make 137 off 126 balls, highlighted by 14 boundaries and three sixes. For a man who scored a world record 264 last year, it was almost sluggish going by his normal standards but no less crucial in the pressure-cooker atmosphere of the World Cup. Of the three matches already played at the sprawling MCG during this tournament, the team batting first has scored over 300 runs and won each time and Bangladesh now face a formidable challenge to break that sequence. The MCG can be an intimidating bear-pit of a stadium and India opted to bat first in front of their fanatical supporters, and got off to a flying start, racing past 50 inside the first 10 overs. Bangladesh, appearing in their first World Cup quarter-final, managed to put the brakes on India's scoring after the fielding restrictions were lifted and they brought on their spinners.

The bucolic setting has been embroiled in a controversy stretching back years that has overshadowed what was meant to mark golf's triumphant return to the Olympics after a 112-year absence. Prosecutors have repeatedly requested for work on the course to be halted over alleged irregularities in environmental impact studies, though a judge rejected the latest demand late Tuesday night. In a separate case, another prosecutor is weighing up whether to bring charges against Mayor Eduardo Paes for allegedly granting concessions to developers. Still other questions persist about the ownership of the land. Paes dismissed the allegations, insisting in an agitated, two-hour-long presentation that the course has been built in strict accordance with the law. 'It's hogwash, it's a lie ... it's a fallacy,' Paes said, as he delivered a barrage of facts, figures, photos and images of documents about the golf course. 'Lies cannot prevail.' He pledged total transparency, with Brazil in the midst of an investigation into a massive corruption scheme at the state-run oil giant, Petrobras, which has rocked the country with near-daily revelations.

A court document released Tuesday by the judge in the case reveals the behind-the-scenes wrangling in the jury room as Arias' fate hung in the balance. Jurors had questioned the holdout's objectivity because she had previously watched a Lifetime movie about the Arias case, and prosecutors were upset at the juror's social media activity as she went on Facebook and liked several local TV stations and Nancy Grace of the HLN network.

Dozens of relatives, friends and supporters came together Monday in Crystal, Minnesota, to plead for the safe return of a 10-year-old who vanished without a trace five days earlier. Barway Edwin Collins was last seen walking away from his apartment building in the 5400 block of Douglas Drive in Crystal after school Wednesday. Over the past five days, local police, federal agents and Hennepin County's sheriff's deputies have been searching the area for Barway with K-9 dogs, reviewing footage from surveillance cameras and interviewing family members and witnesses. While police have not classified Barway's disappearance as an abduction at this point, on Monday they released a photo of two people who may be linked to the missing person case. According to the Crystal Police Department, the man and woman pictured in a screen shot from a CCTV camera installed at the front entrance of the Cedarwood apartment complex may have witnessed Barway being dropped off from school. So far, the mystery couple have not been named as suspects or even persons of interest in the case.

+{"article": "The human eye is optimised to have good colour vision at day and high sensitivity at night. But until recently it seemed as if the cells in the retina were wired the wrong way round, with light travelling through a mass of neurons before it reaches the light-detecting rod and cone cells. New research presented at a meeting of the American Physical Society has uncovered a remarkable vision-enhancing function for this puzzling structure. Israel Institute of Technology researchers studied human retinas (image of an eye interior shown). They looked at why cells in our retinas are wired the wrong way round. Light travels through a mass of neurons before it reaches the 'back'. The research suggests the structure appears to enhance our vision . About a century ago, the fine structure of the retina was discovered. The retina is the light-sensitive part of the eye, lining the inside of the eyeball. The back of the retina contains cones to sense the colours red, green and blue. Spread among the cones are rods, which are much more light-sensitive than cones, but which are colour-blind. Before arriving at the cones and rods, light must traverse the full thickness of the retina, with its layers of neurons and cell nuclei. These neurons process the image information and transmit it to the brain, but until recently it has not been clear why these cells lie in front of the cones and rods, not behind them. The human eye can see more that we thought, researchers said in December. It had previously been believed the human eye cannot see infrared light, in the same way we can't see X-Rays and radio waves. However, researchers have revealed that under certain conditions, the retina can sense infrared light after all. An international team of researchers co-led by scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis used cells from the retinas of mice and people. By firing powerful lasers that emit pulses of infrared light, the researchers found that when laser light pulses rapidly, light-sensing cells in the retina sometimes get a double hit of infrared energy. When that happens, the eye is able to detect light that falls outside the visible spectrum. This is a long-standing puzzle, even more so since the same structure, of neurons before light detectors, exists in all vertebrates, showing evolutionary stability. Researchers in Leipzig found that glial cells, which also span the retinal depth and connect to the cones, have an interesting attribute. These cells are essential for metabolism, but they are also denser than other cells in the retina. In the transparent retina, this higher density (and corresponding refractive index) means that glial cells can guide light, just like fibre-optic cables. In view of this, my colleague Amichai Labin and I built a model of the retina, and showed that the directional of glial cells helps increase the clarity of human vision.But we also noticed something rather curious: the colours that best passed through the glial cells were green to red, which the eye needs most for daytime vision.

The home in Columb Major, Cornwall is considered one of the most important buildings from the Gothic Revival movement, but it is now uninhabitated and has fallen into a state of extreme disrepair. Its owner, a property dealer who was jailed for drugs possession, has refused to renovate it - but the local council has not exercised its legal powers to force him to take action. Overgrown: The Old Rectory in Columb Major, Cornwall is almost inaccessible because it is so neglected . Rubbish: The house is full of old furniture and other debris despite its Grade II* listing from English Heritage . Damage: Holes in the roof and ceiling are causing water damage to the historic Victorian structure . The Old Rectory, which is Grade II*-listed, was built in 1851 by architect William White, who trained with the great Gothic Revival master George Gilbert Scott. It was originally designed to be a palace for a bishop, before being downgraded to a rector's home and later becoming a hotel in recent years. But despite the building's heritage, it is now derelict, filled with piles of rubbish and surrounded by overgrown plants, while major water damage has been caused by holes in the roof.

Greenery has grown up all around the outside of the house, potentially threatening its structure.

The Victorian Society, which promotes the cause of 19th-century architecture, recently launched a campaign to save the building from its 'shocking state of disrepair'. Director Chris Costelloe said: 'Cornwall Council must take action now or this irreplaceable Grade II*-listed example of domestic Gothic Revival architecture will be lost. 'Further delay will result in much of the historic fabric being unsalvageable and the repairs will become enormously expensive.' The society claims that Cornwall Council has been aware of the threat to the building for at least four years, but has failed to act. Officials insisted that they could not take action while Brown was in prison, because it would breach his human rights.

Bone fragments and skeletal remains have been found in a rugged area of Petit Jean Mountain where the skull of missing Little Rock businessman John Glasgow was found earlier this week. The skull, found on Wednesday by hikers, was identified through dental records as being Glasgow, who was 45 when he disappeared in 2008. A search crew of 20, aided by dogs, had been dispatched on Thursday to the area where the remains were found, but the search was suspended due to poor weather on Sunday. The more remains that are found, the better the chance of determining the cause of death, state Crime Laboratory Director Kermit Channel told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. 'We will rely on law enforcement to continue their investigation and search. As they discover additional human remains, they will be submitted to us to examine,' Channel said. The remains were found within a mile of where Glasgow's vehicle was last seen parked at the time of his disappearance. That mile, however, is 'as the crow flies' and includes lengthy, boulder-laden, steep trails, Butts said. When the recovery efforts resume on Monday, officials will begin more intensive searching that will include cadaver dogs and metal detectors.

But turning round this old tanker is going to take decades, not years. The real reason to go now is because for all their travails, the Cuban people are remarkably kind, honest and polite - and Havana is like nowhere else on Earth.

Battling for control of the federal government with the executive branch, the first few months of the GOP's reign over the legislative branch has been marked by constant bickering with the White House and numerous veto threats. In an attempt to balance what they saw as executive overreach on the part of the president, who in November took unilateral action to save millions of illegal immigrants from deportation against the wishes of Republicans in Congress, the GOP last month attempted to hold captive funding for the Homeland Security department. The majority party ended up with egg on its face, though, when it opted to back down from the fight and appropriate money to the department rather than watching it to go into shut down mode until Democrats backed a measure to defund Obama's immigration directives - a scenario that may have never come about. House Republicans in January also stuck their finger in the eye of the Obama administration when Boehner secretly invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress.

However, it seems that the picture which inspired hundreds of comedy memes could be no laughing matter for Clinton as it emerges the photograph could be a figurative smoking gun. Indeed, Clinton herself has removed the image removed from her Twitter account because it could show her using her controversial personal email account to conduct diplomacy in Libya.

Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina), today told CBS's Face the Nation that he has been provided with no emails from the September 2011 trip - despite Clinton being clearly pictures communicating while aboard the plane. Proof? The chairman of the House Committee on Benghazi mentioned that he has seen no emails from Clinton's time in Libya, despite pictures such as this one from 2011, showing her using a Blackberry . He said: 'There are gaps of months and months and months.

The middle school student then said; 'And now I finally stand before you in my true and authentic gender identity as Tom. I stand before you as a 13-year-old boy.' Tom then detailed his struggle over the past few years, and what it took to bring him to the moment where he made this announcement. He eloquently explained his challenges, saying; 'For a while, I dismissed the fact that I hated my body. I pretended to be content with what I was assigned until, at a certain point, I broke.' Sosnik began his speech by reading the tragic suicide note of Leelah Alcorn (above) He then added; 'I went through a series of horrible breakdowns. And I would stand under the water in the shower crying. I knew I wasn't happy.'

To put it simply, I feel like a girl trapped in a boy's body, and I've felt that way ever since I was 4. I never knew there was a word for that feeling, nor was it possible for a boy to become a girl, so I never told anyone and I just continued to do traditionally 'boyish' things to try to fit in.

I immediately told my mom, and she reacted extremely negatively, telling me that it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn't make mistakes, that I am wrong. If you are reading this, parents, please don't tell this to your kids. Even if you are Christian or are against transgender people don't ever say that to someone, especially your kid.

The visitors led 20-16 at half-time thanks to tries by Elvis Taione and Fetu'u Vainikolo, with Michele Rizzo replying for Leicester. Exeter Chiefs celebrates their opening try from Elvis Taione beneath a pile of Leicester forwards . Leicester fly-half Tommy Bell, who kicked 17 points, put Leicester within one point in the second half with a penalty and a drop goal but Greg Bateman clinched Exeter's victory with a try in the 75th minute. Fly-half Ceri Sweeney kicked 15 points for Exeter, who had Max Bodilly yellow carded in the 62nd minute. Prop Rizzo opened the scoring for the Tigers with a fabulously worked try in the fifth minute after a searing break from his own half by winger Miles Benjamin. Fetu'u Vainikolo coasts away for the Chiefs second five-pointer of the first half as they took a 20-16 lead . Benjamin drew the last defender before finding impressive young centre George Catchpole and, after a ruck in the Exeter 22, Rizzo blasted over from short range with fly-half Bell adding the conversion. Exeter were level 10 minutes later when hooker Taione got the touchdown after a driving maul from a line-out and Sweeney kicked the conversion. Bell restored Leicester's lead with the first of three penalties, this one from half way, but Exeter kept their noses in front for the rest of the half after they were handed a second try on a plate in the 20th minute.

Allegations of widespread corruption and collusion dogged the process from the outset. A report by investigator Michael Garcia into allegations of corruption remains secret, unpublished and subject to dispute between its author and FIFA.

The police chief on duty during the Hillsborough disaster has admitted calling for police dogs instead of ambulances as fans were being crushed to death. But David Duckenfield denied his mindset was focused on hooliganism rather than safety at the inquest into the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans during the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989. The retired officer, 70, has already made a series of admissions about 'mistakes' he made, confessed that he lied in the aftermath and apologised 'unreservedly' to fans' families. He said he initially thought the problem was crowd disorder and only realised it was a 'medical emergency at 3.04pm' - 12 minutes after the crush started on the terrace. But at that time transcripts of tape recordings made in the police control box where the match commander was stationed showed a subordinate officer calling for police dogs. Rajiv Menon QC, representing families of the victims, said: 'You must have asked him to do this. It's a medical emergency. Can you explain that? Why on earth do you need dogs at the stadium?' Mr Duckenfield said he had 'no idea' other than he wanted to create a 'secure area' for the rescue operation. Mr Menon asked: 'So dogs requested, ambulances yet to be requested. Correct?' The witness replied: 'It would appear so.' At 3.06pm Mr Duckenfield called for operational support, a request for all available officers in the force area to go to the stadium. Mr Menon asked: 'Why more manpower?', to which Duckenfield replied: 'To help the rescue.' The QC representing the families said responded: 'What rescue? You have yet to call for ambulances or fire crews.' The inquest heard that a request for a fleet of ambulances to attend Hillsborough was made around two minutes and 40 seconds after the call for back-up from dog-handlers. On the day of the disaster, police became overwhelmed by fans at the turnstiles as kick-off approached and Mr Duckenfield gave the order at 2.52pm to open gates to let them in. Around 2,000 fans poured in through Gate C, many heading straight for a tunnel in front of them. But Mr Duckenfield, as match commander, had not ordered this to be closed, which was a 'blunder of the first magnitude', the inquest jury heard. The tunnel led directly to the already-full central pens on the Leppings Lane terrace. Some 96 Liverpool fans were killed in the crush on the overcrowded Leppings Lane terrace .

+{"article": "Health bosses in north Wales are urging patients to buy simple painkillers, laxatives and hayfever treatments rather than relying on free prescriptions . Patients in the Welsh NHS are being told not to use their free prescriptions \u2013 because of Labour's 'funding cuts'. Hundreds of thousands of people who live in north Wales were yesterday urged not to ask their GP to prescribe a range of medicines for minor complaints, such as painkillers, laxatives and hay fever treatments. Instead, patients are encouraged to 'self-care' and 'purchase some of the simple and inexpensive products over the counter for the treatment of minor ailments'. The restrictions are being imposed because of the 'economic climate' and to 'cope with the funding cuts', the largest health board in the principality said yesterday. Labour, which runs the Health Service in Wales as a result of devolution, has cut health funding by more than 8 per cent since 2010. But in England, where the NHS is under the control of the Coalition, spending has risen slightly in real terms since the election. The Daily Mail has focused on some of the adverse effects of the cuts including longer waits for ambulances, far more people waiting more than four hours in A&E than in England, and poor cancer care \u2013 with some Welsh patients being forced to move to England to get cancer drugs. In January the strain on the Welsh NHS was highlighted when the furious wife of a paramedic posted online a photograph of at least ten ambulances \u2013 together with three rapid response cars \u2013 waiting outside Morriston Hospital in Swansea to unload patients at its overwhelmed A&E department. Last night the leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew Davies, said: 'Welsh Labour's savage cuts to the NHS have come at a time when spending has been protected in other parts of the United Kingdom, with obvious consequences. 'Not only have we recently witnessed the worst ambulance response times since records began, more patients than ever are waiting over 12 hours in A&E, and Welsh cancer patients continue to be denied access to life-saving drugs which are available in England under the Coalition's Cancer Drug Fund.' Prescriptions are free to all in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but in England a charge of \u00a38.20 is applied unless the patient is exempt.

Despite there being under two months to the election, the Equality and Human Rights Commission piled into the political debate over the future of Labour\u2019s Human Rights Act. In a statement posted on the commission\u2019s website, backed by a letter to MPs, it claimed that changes \u2018to human rights laws that would water down the protections we all enjoy, would be \u201cregressive\u201d and undermine Britain\u2019s reputation as a global leader that can challenge human rights abuses abroad\u2019.

Downing Street's response came after the BBC, ITV, Sky and Channel 4 rejected his 'final offer' \u2013 and threatened to 'empty chair' him if he did not show up. They said they would stick to their plan for three debates during April - including a head-to-head showdown between Mr Cameron and Ed Miliband - and urged Mr Cameron to 'reconsider' his refusal to take part in these shows.

+{"article": "Will the same worm respond differently in a situation depending on what it is thinking? According to new research studying neurons within microscopic roundworms, the answer is an emphatic \u2018yes\u2019. They found that worms would choose to respond to a nearby odour depending on what they were \u2018thinking\u2019 about - suggesting they have free will just like humans. The study was carried out by scientists at Rockefeller University in New York. They found roundworms (pictured) would sometimes 'think' for themselves. All the neurons within this microscopic roundworm are highlighted, with the large cluster at one end representing the brain . The research was carried out by scientists from the Rockefeller University in New York who studied the brain of the microscopic roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. Its 302 neurons and 7,000 synapses are comparatively tiny compared to the 86 billion neurons and 100 trillion synapses in a human brain. But it is still useful to address tricky neurological questions that would be nearly impossible to broach in our own brains. Worms spend their time wandering, looking for decomposing matter to eat - and when they smell it, they usually stop making random turns and travel straight toward the source. This change in behaviour is initially triggered by a sensory neuron that perceives the smell and feeds that information to the network the researchers studied. As the worms pick up the alluring fruity smell of isoamyl alcohol, the neurons in the network transition into a low activity state that allows them to approach the odour. But sometimes the neurons remain highly active, and the worm continues to wander around - even though its sensory neuron has detected the odour. They found that, if offered a 'delicious' smell, the roundworm will usually stop its wandering to investigate the source - but sometimes it won\u2019t. Just as with humans, the same stimulus does not always provoke the same response, even from the same individual. \u2018We found that the collective state of the three neurons at the exact moment an odour arrives determines the likelihood that the worm will move toward the smell,\u2019 said study author Dr Cori Bargmann . \u2018So, in essence, what the worm is thinking about at the time determines how it responds. \u2018It goes to show that nervous systems aren\u2019t passively waiting for signals from outside, they have their own internal patterns of activity that are as important as any external signal when it comes to generating a behaviour.\u2019 The researchers also found that by changing the activity of the neurons individually, and in combination, they could pinpoint each neuron\u2019s role in generating variability. In humans, the research may suggest ways in which our brains process competing motivations. 'For humans, a hungry state might lead to you walk across the street to a delicious smelling restaurant,' said author Andrew Gordus. 'However, a competing aversion to the cold might lead you to stay indoors' (stock image) By recording the activity of the neurons, the team found that there were three persistent states among the three neurons: All were off, all were on, or only one,", "summary": "Study was carried out by scientists at Rockefeller University in New York .

+{"article": "Driver distractions are at an all-time high, according to new research. The use of phones, text messaging and heavy urban traffic means people concentrate less than ever while driving. And this is extremely dangerous, warn the researchers, as taking your eye off the road for just two seconds can increase the risk of an accident up to 24 times. Researchers from Oregon State University studied driver distractions. They found texting, eating and other tasks were more distracting than ever. And they warned that young drivers are unaware of the dangers. A previous study found that text-driving (stock image shown) was equivalent to being drunk . The researchers, led by Oregon State University compiled findings that showed so-called 'distracted driving' was a bigger problem than ever. The research was published in the Journal of Transportation Safety and Security. The striking sight of a solar eclipse will capture the attention of commuters across Britain on their way to work this Friday. It will be the first time that the astronomical spectacle has occurred during rush-hour in the UK, and there are fears that motorists may take their eyes off the wheel to watch the cosmic alignment. Experts have warned that drivers may be distracted as they watch the sun or risk a crash simply by letting their concentration falter. RAC spokesman Simon Williams told MailOnline: \u2018The biggest danger of the eclipse from the motorist\u2019s perspective is likely to be distraction rather than being plunged into darkness.' He said that distraction is a major cause of accidents on the road and was a contributory factor in 23 per cent of fatal accidents in 2013. 'Based on recent studies, anything that takes your attention away, any glance away from the road for two seconds or longer can increase the risk of an accident from four to 24 times,' said Dr David Hurwitz from the university. 'This is a dramatic increase in risk, with inexperienced drivers who are least able to handle it.' According to OSU, a previous study found that texting was equivalent to being drunk. 'The absolute worst is texting on a phone, which is a whole group of distractions,' added Dr Hurwitz. 'With texting, you're doing something besides driving, thinking about something besides driving, and looking at the wrong thing.' In their study, the researchers found that interactive presentations administered to young drivers in a classroom or auditorium can raise their awareness of the problem. They concluded that more young people should be educated in this manner. While many young drivers understand the risks of texting, Dr Hurwitz said they are much less aware of other concerns that can be real. These include eating, drinking, talking on a phone, smoking, adjusting the radio, changing a CD, using a map or other controls.

The Caribbean island's prime minister Kenny Anthony said a team of Jamaican investigators had delivered an 'extremely damning' report on the deaths of 12 people shot by officers in 2010 and 2011. Mr Anthony said the report, which has not been made public, revealed that the shootings were 'staged by the police' but reported as murders by unknown assailants. St Lucia's (pictured) police force kept 'death lists' of suspected criminals and planted guns at police shootings to make them look legitimate, according to a report . Guns were allegedly planted by officers and members of the force's high command may have been involved in covering up the truth about the extra-judicial shootings. In a national address late last night, the Caribbean country's leader said: 'The report confirms that 'the blacklist or death lists' referenced by the media, human rights organisations, victims' families and citizens alike did exist.' Alleged tampering with evidence didn't just happen at scenes of police-related fatalities, Mr Anthony disclosed. St Lucia's Prime Minister Kenny Anthony said the report was 'extremely damning' During the investigators' probe, they found that the internet server used by some police commanders was 'deliberately tampered with,' he said. The dozen killings occurred during a police mission called 'Operation Restore Confidence' as the tourism-dependent island grappled with a worrying rise in violent crime. At the time, former prime minister Stephenson King publicly warned criminals that 'no stone will be left unturned and there will be no hiding place for anyone.' Five of the dozen men fatally shot by police were killed in a single operation in the southern town of Vieux Fort. The prime minister said the courts would now decide whether to prosecute officers involved in the shootings. The Jamaican investigation came a year after the U.S. withdrew all assistance to island police, citing concerns about allegations of unlawful killings. Cameron Laure, president of St Lucia's Police Welfare Association, said he was inundated with calls from officers about the 'killings'. 'I don't even know how to react at this point.

The Toffees were the country's last hope on the continent before a 5-2 loss to Dynamo Kiev in Europe on Thursday night meant they followed Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City in crashing out at the last 16 stage.

When his upcoming fight against Clint Hester was scrapped from the UFC's Fairfax card on April 4, after Hester developed a foot injury, Barnatt was on the hunt for a replacement opponent. 'I heard from Clint directly that he was injured and out of the fight.' Barnatt told Sportsmail. 'I spoke to Joe Silva and he said there's no-one on the roster who is free to fight you, so it might have to be a newcomer. But I didn't want to fight a newcomer who people knew nothing about.

'Then Joe called back and said he'd made about 500 phone calls and that he couldn't find anyone, so your wish is my command \u2013 you're fighting Mark in the Philippines. 'I went from being very down, to being very happy, and now I have 10 weeks to prepare for the fight.' Barnatt is looking to bounce back from two frustrating back to back losses, both of which the middleweight feels he would have won, were it not for poor judging decisions. Mark Munoz, meanwhile, who recently fell short of the UFC's top 15 middleweight rankings, is a veteran of the sport and will present a dangerous challenge on the ground for Barnatt. 'Obviously I have to pay a bit more attention to my wrestling now' said Barnatt. 'Mark is a very, very good wrestler. There will be a bit more of a focus on, but I am going to implement my own game plan.'

'I lived there for 7 months and I always wanted to go to the Philippines, so I'm super excited. I'm going to go out there about 10 days before to get acclimatized. The funny thing is, Mark trains about 3 hours away from me in California so we will both be going all that way. We will probably leave on the same flight to get out there!'

Detectives investigating the murders of four people including members of a British family in the French Alps have ruled out a mystery biker seen close to the scene, it emerged today. It was on September 5, 2012 that Surrey engineer Saad Al-Hilli, 50, and his wife, Iqbal, 47, died alongside her mother and a French cyclist. The Al-Hillis' daughters, Zainab, seven at the time, and Zeena, four, survived the savage attack close to Lake Annecy, in eastern France.

But now it has emerged that he was \u2018positively identified\u2019 last month, and has now been \u2018ruled out as the murderer\u2019. A legal source close to police in Chambery, who interviewed the unidentified man, said: \u2018He was seen on a nearby road within minutes of the murders, but it took many months to track him down.\u2019 The man is from Lyon, eastern France, and was paragliding in the Alps during particular warm weather. \u2018He is no longer considered suspicious, but may be re-interviewed over what he may have seen around the area,\u2019 said the source. It was in 2013 that the police finally issued a photo-fit image of the motorcyclist, and this is thought to have helped identify him. The latest development is a huge setback for Eric Maillaud, the prosecutor leading the enquiry, who has already admitted that those responsible may never be caught.

The passage of the bill by the state Senate on Tuesday comes as states struggle to obtain lethal injection drugs amid a nationwide shortage. The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Paul Ray of Clearfield, touted the measure as being a more humane form of execution. Ray argued that a team of trained marksmen is faster and more humane than the drawn-out deaths that have occurred in botched lethal injections. Scroll down for video . is the past becoming the future?: This June 18, 2010, file photo shows the firing squad execution chamber at the Utah State Prison in Draper, Utah and may soon be put back in practice . The bill gives Utah options, he said. 'We would love to get the lethal injection worked out so we can continue with that but if not, now we have a backup plan,' Ray told The Associated Press. Before they are shot to death, inmates may have a last meal. In Utah the prisoners will not be allowed a final cigarette - as has historically been the custom before facing a firing squad. They may offer a final word right before their execution. Firing squad executions are usually executed by five or so police officers with .30-caliber Winchester rifles in rapid succession aimed at the chest. The prisoner is then hooded and over their heart is placed a small circular target. In one of the rifles is a blank bullet so each gunman can believe they were not the one who fired a fatal shot. The state has carried out three executions by firing squad since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Utah's last firing squad execution was that of murderer Ronnie Lee Gardner in 2010. He was pronounced dead just two minutes after the 12:15 am execution at 12:17 am. Opponents, however, said firing squads are a cruel holdover from the state's wild West days and will earn the state international condemnation. 'I think Utah took a giant step backward,' said Ralph Dellapiana, director of Utahns for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. He called firing squads 'a relic of a more barbaric past.' Dellapiana said the legislature should be discussing whether, not how, to execute citizens. Whether Ray's proposal will become law in the conservative Western state is unclear: Utah Governor Gary Herbert, a Republican, won't say if he'll sign the measure. His spokesman, Marty Carpenter, did issue a statement this week acknowledging that the method would give Utah a legitimate backup method if execution drugs are unavailable.

Rosie and Ruby Formosa, two, from Bexleyheath in south east London, were born joint at the abdomen sharing the same intestines and a team of 15 doctors spent five hours separating the pair. A life-threatening blockage meant they were transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital for emergency surgery but almost three years on and the identical twins are fighting fit. Scroll down for video . Family: Angela and Daniel Formosa with twins Ruby (front left) and Rosie (front right) and sister Lily, seven . Their mother, Angela Formosa, 34, says the girls have been almost inseparable since they were detached from each other in July 2012. She said: 'Wherever they are, they need to know where the other is. Even at nursery surrounded by all their little friends, they are constantly looking to see where the other one is. 'If I'm getting Ruby dressed first, Rosie will run off, find the exact same outfit and pester me until I dress her exactly the same. It's been like that ever since we brought them home. 'They used to crawl around the house chasing one another. Normally Rosie will learn something first - like talking - and within a week Ruby will have caught up - they're just little copycats really.' Mrs Formosa was only 16 weeks pregnant when a scan revealed to her and taxi-driver husband, Daniel, 39, that the twins were conjoined. Together: Ruby and Rosie, who were born with the same intestine in July 2012, are 'inseparable' The couple, who also have a seven-year-old daughter, Lily, prepared themselves for the worst as doctors gave the girls a small chance of survival as they couldn't definitively see where the connection was. Conjoined twins occur every 200,000 births, however, as few as five per cent of those births actually survive being born. Mrs Formosa, a full-time mother, said: 'Hearing the girls were conjoined was the shock of our lives. 'I'd heard of it, but I never expected it to happen to me. I was nervous the whole way through the pregnancy but tried to shut it to the back of my mind. 'When I heard their two little cries when they were born, the worry subsided, but only for a while.' Almost immediately after being delivered by caesarean section at University College Hospital, London, Rosie and Ruby were whisked off to Great Ormond Street Hospital to be operated on. They were delivered at 34 weeks and weighed 5lb 3oz each and the following day they were operated on to clear a life-threatening intestinal blockage. 'Those were the most difficult 24 hours of our lives,' Mrs Formosa added. 'Having my babies taken off my almost immediately after they're born and not knowing if either would survive was heartbreaking. 'When the doctors came out to say the surgery had been a success and that the girls were both fine, it was like the world had been lifted off our shoulders.

But she was shocked when she returned to the car the next morning to find a traffic warden had slapped a ticket on the red Renault because it was parked just centimetres outside a marked bay.

The brothers fired a gun at three police officers and hurled bombs at them, including one that was similar to the devices used in the April 15, 2013 attack, the officers testified. Watertown Police patrolman John Reynolds recalled chasing the brothers in two cars hours after they allegedly shot and killed a police officer in nearby Cambridge, and having a large bomb thrown at him and a colleague as they tried to arrest the Tsarnaevs. On trial: In this courtroom sketch, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, center, is depicted between defense attorneys while the boat in which he was captured in sits on a trailer for observation during his federal death penalty trial .

+{"article": "Toy giant Lego has come under fire from parents after publishing an article in its own-brand magazine which offered a range of 'insulting' beauty tips to young girls. The March/April edition of the Lego Club Magazine included a feature called 'Emma's Beauty Tips', which suggested that young girls who are 'ready to change up their looks' should consider opting for a more flattering haircut that would better suit their face shape. 'You, yes you, are beautiful, but if you're ready to change up your look, read on for some tips and tricks on how to get the best haircut for the shape of your face,' the article reads. Outrage: This 'beauty tips' feature in the March/April edition of the Lego Club Magazine has caused fury among parents . The feature then lists five different face shapes, from 'heart faces' to 'oval faces', suggesting which type of hair cut would be bested suited to each shape. And while those with heart-shaped faces are advised to choose 'long, curly layers and thinned out curls' in order to accentuate their 'angular cheeks', those with oval faces are told that they are lucky enough to be able to 'have almost any style haircut' because 'almost everything looks great on this face shape'. Unsurprisingly, the article has hit a nerve with parents of the young girls reading the magazine - with one mother, Cleveland-based writer Sharon Holbrook, writing a piece for the New York Times slamming the magazine's 'insulting' feature. '[My daughter] is seven,' she wrote. 'My little girl, the shape of her face, and whether her haircut is flattering are none of Lego\u2019s concern,' It wasn\u2019t even her concern until a toy magazine told her to start worrying about it.' Mrs Holbrook goes on to quote from the Lego Friends website, which states that the range is aimed at children between the ages of five and 12 who are, she writes, 'far too young' to be told that their face shape might mean they need a new haircut in order to 'soften the edges' of their faces. Unnecessary: The 'overtly girly' Lego Friends line, including this Heartlake Hair Salon, has previously come under fire from parents for suggesting that young girls should not be playing with traditional Lego models . Calling for change: Writer Sharon Holbrook (pictured) wrote a piece about the Lego feature in which she insisted that children as young as five should not be worrying about whether they have a flattering face shape . The online article has prompted a flurry of furious activity on social media, with parents across the country calling for Lego to abandon its 'sexist' marketing campaigns and 'overtly girly' toy ranges in favor of returning to the 'powerful messages' it once offered to young girls who were so eager to play with their products. 'Go back to this [message] of 1981 instead of \"beauty tips for 5-12 year-olds\" c**p,' one person wrote on Twitter, alongside a picture of a 30-year-old Lego ad campaign which encouraged young girls to 'build for fun'. Another added: 'Nonononono. Damn it, LEGO.

Starting his career during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, his most famous works depicting Chinese soldiers were transformed into propaganda posters which were distributed en masse all over the country.

Scroll down for video . Highly regarded Chinese-Australian artist Jiawei sits next to his portrait of Cardinal Pell . More recently, the 66-year-old artist found himself on a Vatican balcony, using his gift to create a lifelike portrait of the Catholic Church's money man, Cardinal Pell. Commissioned by a Catholic university, the classic portrait features the Australian prelate looking over St Peter's Square. After his history as a Chinese propaganda artist, Shen maintains he doesn't see his artwork for the Catholic Church in the same light . Shen's journey from favoured propaganda artist of the People's Liberation Army to papal portraitist is an unusual tale of talent and timing. 'For me, one door closed but another always opened,' Mr Jiawei said of his career in a recent phone interview from his studio in Bundeena, south of Sydney. Shen was about to complete high school when Mai Zedong launched the Cultural Revolution, a decade long campaign to restore ideological purity to China's anti-capitalist revolution.

The owner attempted to sell the soap on the internet auction site eBay for \u20ac199 (\u00a3143). But as soon as the item went live, moderators removed it from sale. Rumours - apparently started by the British - that the Nazis were mass-producing soap using the bodies of concentration camp victims first surfaced in the middle of the war. An antiques salesman tried to sell soap, pictured, reportedly made from the fat of Jewish Holocaust victims . The man was seeking \u20ac199 for the bar of soap on the internet auction site eBay, pictured . The listing, pictured, was removed from eBay shortly after it was originally posted . Although the mass production claim was almost certainly untrue, there is evidence that it had happened on a small scale at least during the early stages of World War II. The Nazis are known to have plundered human bodies for products, with hair used to make felt and insulation for example. However, the German scientists who were believed to have experimented with making soap from human fat had almost certainly been stopped by SS-chief Heinrich Himmler who had ordered an investigation into the claims on November 20, 1942. The unnamed antiquities vendor who tried to sell the soap handed himself into police to answer questions after the auction was cancelled. He had also handed over the two bars of soap, which are now being examined to see if they do indeed contain traces of human remains. Historian Arthur Haraf said the soap was one of a number of items found near the Dutch concentration camp Westerbork, from which Dutch Jews were sent to extermination camps. The soap was reportedly made from the fat of Jewish victims of the Westerbork concentration camp, pictured . It is claimed that SS leader Heinrich Himmler, left, ordered Nazi scientists to stop working on human soap . Westerbork was a Nazi refugee, detention and transit camp in the town of Hooghalen, nine kilometres south of the city of Assen in the north-eastern Netherlands. The other items had been dentures, tooth brushes and glasses, which he claimed were taken from the Jews at the concentration camp. Haraf said: 'This is a terrible act and against the law. Whatever is found near the concentration camp and belongs to the events of World War II automatically becomes property of the Westerbork Memorial Museum.' Jewish organisations responded angrily at the news of the Dutch vendor. Spokesperson for the Dutch Jewish organisation CIDI, Ron Eisenman, said: 'It is saddening and disgusting to find out that there are people interested in gaining money from the Holocaust.' He added: 'We can only watch and hope that collectors will use healthy logic and will not participate in these things.'

The ruling came in the case of 16-year-old Philip Chism, who has pleaded not guilty to raping and killing 24-year-old Danvers High School teacher Colleen Ritzer on school grounds in October 2013. Chism's lawyers had argued that police coerced their client, then 14, into making detailed statements about the killing, despite invoking his right to remain silent. Prosecutors maintained Chism and his mother had never absolutely demanded a lawyer. Scroll down for video . Confession not admissible: Philip Chism - seen here in a Massachusetts court in January - confessed to police that he killed his math teacher, however a judge has ruled it cannot be used in his murder trial . Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett, through a spokeswoman, said his office was still reviewing the decision. Calls to Chism's public defenders seeking comment were not immediately returned. Ritzer's family said in a statement it respected the court ruling and was confident that law enforcement 'acted responsibly and lawfully' in investigating their daughter's killing. The 48-page decision came after days of arguments and testimony on the defense's motion to suppress key pieces of evidence in the case. Salem Superior Court Judge David Lowy concluded that Chism had willingly talked to police in the town of Topsfield on the night of the killing, calmly answering questions and even correcting officers at various points. But Chism's demeanor changed when he was taken to the Danvers police station and further interrogated in his mother's presence, the judge noted. At that point, Lowy said, Chism grew uncomfortable and somewhat hostile. Murdered: Colleen Ritzer was a popular and enthusiastic math teacher at Danvers High School. Phillip Chism has pleaded not guilty to her rape and murder . Charged: Philip D. Chism was indicted by an Essex County grand jury today on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated rape and armed robbery in 2013 . He twice indicated his disinterest in speaking with Danvers police and 'did not appear to be fully engaged' or to appreciate the seriousness of what officers asked him as they explained his Miranda rights, the judge wrote. 'It is clear that the defendant wanted to talk to the police without his mother present in the room,' Lowy said in his ruling. 'It is also clear that he had no intention of talking while his mother was in the room.' As a result, the judge said, he would allow the statements Chism made to Topsfield police to be introduced as evidence but not his taped confession at the Danvers police station. He also allowed items gathered at Danvers High School, as well as those seized from Chism's pockets and backpack. They included Ritzer's ID and credit cards, a bloody box cutter and women's underwear.

In another equally absurd scenario, a chippie refused to allow a customer to use his salt and vinegar shakers to apply their preferred amount to their meal, as the chippie couldn't be sure the individual's hands were clean.

+{"article": "THE CHAPS' VIEW - by Quentin Letts . One of the great mysteries of mankind \u2014 and I mean mankind \u2014 may have been solved. Scientists from King\u2019s College London have measured 15,000 penises in 16 countries. This work has allowed them, after feeding the findings into computers, making boffinish statistical adjustments, twiddling knobs and squinting at graphs, to announce an average size for chaps\u2019 undercarriage. That, in turn, has been seized on as having psychological significance. Apparently, we men are now less likely to have a nervous collapse about our own shortcomings. Quentin says that Michelangelo\u2019s 16th century statue of the naked David (pictured), can sometimes be a source of fun for being a 'tiddler' We have not been told the logistical ins and out, if that is the term, of this ground-breaking global operation. The research demanded at least two readings (one at ease, one standing to quivering attention) for each handsome specimen. The mind boggles. Were the laboratory assistants who took the data dreary, middle-aged men speaking in the monotones of E. L. Wisty (the know-it-all creation of the comedian Peter Cook)? Or were they busty, sultry ladies with husky larynxes and widening eyes? To what level of exactitude were the measurements taken? What instruments were employed \u2014 school rulers, tape measures, laser micrometers or (ouch) cold, industrial calipers? While we\u2019re about it, exactly how, in 16 languages, do you say \u2018sorry to interrupt your busy day, monsieur, but would you mind dropping your drawers so that my pouting assistant Miss Droop can take the bore and length of your old man\u2019? But back to the conclusions. Dr David Veale, the fine body of a man who led the psychiatrists from King\u2019s, has announced that the average length of an erect penis is 5.16 in. Typically, it sounds more in Continental centimetres \u2014 13.12 cm. The figure shrivels to 3.6 in when the member is in a state of genial repose. If we can place this in context, the late Sue Townsend\u2019s spotty schoolboy character Adrian Mole fretted that his \u2018thing\u2019 rose to a mere 4.3 in, something that gave the poor lad hours of angst, while the once accepted norm, at least of myth, was nearly half as much again \u2014 the old \u2018six inches of proud British manhood\u2019. Michelangelo\u2019s 16th century statue of the naked David, sometimes a source of fun for being a tiddler, may not have been so unusual after all. You may think it peculiar that I dwell on these matters, not least for what I am about to say: I seriously doubt that many blokes are much concerned by these readings. I do not mean that they will not have been interested and amused by yesterday\u2019s news reports. Indeed, I bet most of us, when we read the Mail, discreetly did some thumbwork to try to work out what 5.16 in looks like, and then had a rough gander below decks to see how we fared by comparison. But will men have been psychologically affected? Does size matter to us as it is", "summary": "Scientists from King\u2019s College measured 15,000 penises in 16 countries .

When Pulis, the engineer of Crystal Palace\u2019s great escape last season, took over in January they hovered just one point above the bottom three, offering little to inspire optimism among their fans.

I thought he and James Morrison [who partners Fletcher for Scotland] dominated the midfield.\u2019 There were a few controversial moments, such as referee Michael Oliver\u2019s decision to wave away what seemed a blatant penalty for Geoff Cameron\u2019s hefty second-half challenge on Craig Dawson in the box. Oliver, who was praised for his officiating of Manchester United\u2019s FA Cup defeat by Arsenal on Monday, is likely to get attention for different reasons after waving away penalty appeals, to Pulis\u2019s obvious fury. \u2018Michael will look at that again and be very disappointed, that\u2019s a blatant a penalty as I\u2019ve seen in a long time,\u2019 he said.

Brussels chief Jean-Claude Juncker has called for the creation of an EU army in the wake of rising tensions with Russia. The European Commission President said an EU military force would help defend the continent from Vladimir Putin's aggression. He said: 'You would not create a European army to use it immediately. 'But a common army among the Europeans would convey to Russia that we are serious about defending the values of the European Union.' He said a joint EU force would be more economical than each country individually ordering their own military kit. It would also drive further integration of the bloc's 28 member states. 'Such an army would help us design a common foreign and security policy,' the former Luxembourg prime minister said.

Mr Juncker, speaking to the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, said: 'Europe's image has suffered dramatically and also in terms of foreign policy, we don't seem to be taken entirely seriously.' The proposal is likely to infuriate Conservative backbenchers but has been welcomed in Germany. Germany's Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement that 'our future as Europeans will one day be a European army' although she added 'not in the short term'.

Paul Britton claims he was referred to as a 'f****t' and a 'gayboy' and was told he should not be teaching young children, during a campaign of abuse by leisure centre colleagues. Staff members also sent him lewd photographs on Snapchat - including one featuring a workmate in a mankini - in a bid to hound him out of his job, the hearing was told.

He told the tribunal that he had worked at the centre for three years without incident prior to the tribunal, which resulted in his employers having to pay out a hefty settlement. Shortly after that, he claimed his line manager, Graham Ashby, started the tirade of homophobic abuse. The 31-year-old said the campaign of abuse began in June 2013, when Mr Ashby called him a 'greedy gay' after overhearing him tell a colleague he was going to order a Dominos pizza.

A month later he said Mr Ashby ordered him not to use the male changing rooms as it was 'inappropriate' and told him to use the disabled toilet instead.

He promised the homes will be 'decent, well-built, homes \u2013 places to start and raise a family'. The House Builder's Federation, which runs the Starter Homes website, confirmed that almost 31,000 people have registered to receive information on starter homes being built in their area. The federation's Steve Turner said the stampede of interest in the last 48 hours revealed the pent-up demand for first homes. He said: 'The volume of registrations clearly demonstrates the need for schemes to assist people to buy their own homes.' He added: 'In recent years it's been very difficult, particularly for first-time buyers, to realise their ambitions of home ownership. Government schemes to help them do so are clearly welcome.' David Cameron today promised to make cheap new homes for first time buyers the centre-piece of the Tory Party's house-building strategy after the election . The Prime Minister's pledge to build 200,000 new properties for first-time was one of five election promises to help home owners. He said the Tories would keep mortgage rates low, build more homes, extend the controversial help-to-buy scheme and encourage more people to buy their own council house. Local councils will also be given more power to stop unpopular developments, Mr Cameron said. The PM said: 'There is a particular kind of security that comes with owning your own home [but] too many people have been denied that security. 'The young people in their 20s and 30s still living with their parents, desperately saving for their own place. 'The couple who want a child but can't afford to upsize \u2013 even though they both have full-on, full-time jobs. It shouldn't be this way. 'Our goal is a Britain where everyone who works hard can have a home of their own.' Ed Miliband has promised to build 200,000 homes a year by 2020 - up from around 140,000 this year .

Experts say the new, bi-metallic coin, which will be in two colours, will be the most secure coin in circulation in the world. The striking design featuring a rose, leek, thistle and shamrock emerging from a Royal Coronet was created by 15-year-old schoolboy David Pearce, who won a Royal Mint competition. Scroll down for video . The new 12-sided \u00a31 coin design that will replace the current version, designed by 15-year-old David Pearce . The current \u00a31 coin has been in circulation since 1983 - much longer than the normal life cycle of a modern British coin. Its technology is said to be no longer suitable for a coin of its value, leaving it vulnerable to ever more sophisticated counterfeiters. More than 6,000 people entered the competition to design the new coin. David Pearce, of Queen Mary\u2019s Grammar School in Walsall, was surprised by a phone call from the Chancellor this week telling him he had won. His design features the four well-known symbols of the UK emerging from a Royal Coronet. The Royal Mint estimates that about three per cent of all \u00a31 coins - or a staggering 45 million - are now forgeries. In some parts of the UK, the figure is as high as six per cent. Over the past few years, around two million counterfeit \u00a31 coins have been removed from circulation each year. George Osborne meeting with children who entered the competition at Number 11 Downing Street yesterday . In a nod to Britain\u2019s heritage, it is the same shape as the 12-sided threepenny or thrupenny bit, which was in circulation from 1937 until decimalisation in 1971 and was in the first group of coins ever to feature the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The threepenny bit was the first British coin to use a 12-sided shape, which was popular during the Second World War since its distinctive size and shape made it the easiest coin to recognise during the blackout. The new \u00a31 coin will affect many aspects of daily life, including vending machines, parking meters and shopping trolleys. Ministers admit there will be costs for some businesses, but say the increasing number of forged \u00a31 coins in circulation mean action has become urgently needed. The current \u00a31 coin has been in circulation since 1983. Pictured, annealed coins at the Royal Mint . Many business leaders agree that such significant sums are now being lost through counterfeits that a new coin that is harder to forge is needed. Mr Osborne said: \u2018Designing the new \u00a31 coin was a brilliant opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on what will be the most secure coin in circulation anywhere. \u2018The competition captured the imagination of thousands of people and David Pearce\u2019s winning design will be recognised by millions in the years ahead.

Albert Maysles poses for a portrait during the 2013 Sundance Film Festival (file photo) Maysles is best known for directing the classic documentary Grey Gardens . Maysles was best known for a handful of documentary classics he made with his brother, David, in the 1960s and 1970s. The Maysles Brothers - as many referred to them - chose subjects as ordinary as the struggles of Bible salesmen and as glamorous as Marlon Brando, Orson Welles and the Beatles, whom the pair followed in 1964 during their first trip to the United States. One of their films, Gimme Shelter, about The Rolling Stones' Altamont Speedway concert on Dec. 6, 1969, captured on film the killing of a fan and the darkening of the hippie dream. The Altamont concert was the Stones' disastrous effort to stage a festival like the Woodstock gathering a few months earlier. Maysles was active right up to this death. His documentary of the fashion icon Iris Apfel, Iris, is to be released in April. Earlier this week, the Tribeca Film Festival announced that In Transit, a documentary he co-directed about the longest train route in the U.S., will premiere at this year's festival. 'We lost a true titan today, one who pioneered an art form and fostered a whole generation of artists,' said Eamonn Bowles, president of Magnolia Pictures, which is releasing Iris. 'His impact is immeasurable and we won't soon see his likes again.' Born in Boston to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Maysles served in the U.S. Army from 1944 to 1946, studied at Syracuse and Boston University and taught psychology for three years before turning to film. His first foray into motion pictures was a 16-mm documentary he made in 1955 while visiting mental hospitals in the Soviet Union. Maysles started out as an assistant to Robert Drew, a pioneer of cinema verite, and his peers included such acclaimed documentary makers as D.A Pennebaker and Frederick Wiseman. He and Pennebaker were among those who worked with Drew on the groundbreaking 1960 documentary Primary, about rival Democratic presidential candidates John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey. Maysles also served as a camera operator for Pennebaker's 1968 concert film Monterey Pop. 'My friendship with Al was forged during four months of filming together, just the two of us, in Russia in 1959,' said Pennebaker, referring to their film Opening in Moscow, about that year's world fair.

It is unclear whether the three were recipients or senders of the 'racially biased' emails included in the 102-page civil rights report. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Henke was associated with a 2008 email suggesting that President Barack Obama would not complete a full presidential term because a black man can't hold 'a steady job for four years'. Mudd is reportedly associated with a 2011 email suggesting a New Orleans woman was paid by 'CrimeStoppers' to terminate her pregnancy. The Justice Department highlighted several other emails in the report including one that featured a photograph of topless, appearingly tribal, women dancing, with the caption 'Michelle Obama's High School Reunion.' The report states that the emails illustrate racial, ethnic, or other forms of bias among those involved and states that the DOJ's investigation yielded no indication that any of the officers or clerks involved in the emails were disciplined before this week. In fact, the report states, there were no instances discovered where recipients asked the sender to refrain from sending such emails. Instead, the emails were forwarded along to others. Sgt.

While this mixture can, at times, be overpowering, back in the 19th century, smells in the city were far more pungent and permanent than they are today. So much so, that the health authorities at the time decided to create maps of stenches to show the location of smells from areas such as oil refineries, fat renderers, slaughter houses and gas works. In the 19th Century. New Yorkers began complaining to the Board of Health about 'the most nauseous, foul, stinking, and pestilential odours'. As a result, many of the worst-smelling industries ended up in Brooklyn, with the industrial landscape leaving its mark there today. For instance, the Newtown Creek area on the border of Brooklyn and Queens remains the site of a sewage treatment plant . Now CityLab has found one of these historic maps from 1870 that shows different industrial sites across Manhattan and Brooklyn, as the five boroughs were yet to be consolidated. But it wasn't just industrial smells that caused problems for New Yorkers. The map was produced at a time when New York was experiencing unprecedented growth. During the 1860s and 1870s, 2,000 new buildings were constructed each year, as immigration peaked at 200,000 to 300,000 people annually. The increase in population meant an increase in waste.

'Trying to show smells, which are not concrete - they're invisible, they're ephemeral, they're always changing - is just a really fascinating cultural project,' says Melanie Kiechle, a historian at Virginia Tech University told Atlantic's CityLab.

'The chant in the video is ugly. It is demoralizing and absolutely counter to the values of SAE,' Ayers said at a press conference in Chicago, describing his own disgust at the video. Though the fraternity is currently headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, it was founded at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, five years before the beginning of the Civil War. The University of Oklahoma expelled two members and suspended the fraternity last week, though the chapter has retained a lawyer, Stephen Jones, who defended Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh. Ayers laid out several steps the fraternity would take nationwide in order to 'ensure that this never happens again.' 'We are focused on trying to determine the root of this song or this chant, where it came from, that's our primary focus,' said Ayers, who stated he had never heard the chant. Diversity training program will be mandated for SAE members, and the fraternity has set up a hotline that will allow people to confidentially report inappropriate conduct, he added. Bad light: The recording showed a bus driving to an SAE function as two members led the chant, which mentioned lynching black people and declared there would 'never be a n***** in SAE' Bad boys: The Los Angeles Times reported that SAE's chapters have faced numerous disciplinary sanctions for their actions, including the drinking death of a pledge in 2008 at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo . In addition to new programs in the fraternity, Ayers said the fraternity will appoint a director and national advisory committee for diversity and inclusion. The fraternity will also conduct and investigation of all 237 of its chapters to identify bigoted behaviors and prepare a report, the executive director added. 3 percent of SAE members identify as African-American, and 20 percent as non-white, according to data the fraternity began collecting in 2013. That 20 percent 'is a number we would like to increase,' Ayers said, though the target number was not given. It remains to be seen whether minority students have been turned off SAE for good after the video of the racist chant surfaced. The second-ever black member of the Oklahoma chapter, William Bruce James II, expressed the heartbreak he felt after seeing the video. 'There will never be another black SAE,' he wrote in Quartz. 'I wish there had been one less.' 'Counting heads", "summary": "University of Oklahoma suspended Sigma Alpha Epsilon after a video of members singing about lynching surfaced online .

And now the island is gearing up for a wave of interest after the Valentine's Day wedding of Oscar-nominated Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter. Fit for a king, queen or prince: The George occupies a splendid spot on the shoreline in Yarmouth . Victoria and Albert were newlyweds when they fell in love with the island. They designed and built Osborne House as a refuge from the stifling royal court, a place to relax with their nine children. The house still boasts the same private beach where they bathed far from the prying eyes of her subjects. Today, you can stay within the grounds - in two cottages called No 1 and No 2 Sovereign's Gate. They both sleep four, and you can explore the grounds long after the house has closed to the public. Not all the royals were so enthused by the island, however. Charles I was a prisoner in Carisbrooke Castle before being shipped back to be executed. After a couple of nights at Osborne, we set off for The George Hotel in the harbour town of Yarmouth, driving past 110-year-old thatched St Agnes church and on to the chalk stacks of the Needles. The Charge of the Light Brigade was required reading at my school, so I took another detour to Faringford, the estate of Alfred Lord Tennyson, who was a familiar figure striding the downs amid the wild orchids in his distinctive hat. The bracing sea air was worth, according to Tennyson, 'sixpence a pint'. A pint costs a bit more these days in Yarmouth, where sleek speedboats are moored yards from the hotel garden. Keeping it under his hat: Benedict Cumberbatch enjoyed his last night as a 'free man' on the Isle of Wight . The wall of Henry VIII's fortress gives shelter from the sea winds so you can dine alfresco for most of the year. It might only be a matter of time before The George boasts its first Michelin star, which explains why Cumberbatch and 140 of his friends spent the night here. In years to come, will there be a plaque saying the Sherlock idol spent his last night here as a bachelor? A much earlier visitor, Charles Darwin, summed up the Isle of Wight as 'the nicest seaside place which we have ever seen'. I couldn't agree more.

+{"article": "Cancel your plans to journey through the centre of Earth or, at least, adjust your arrival time at the other side. Research has found that it would only take a person 38 minutes to make it from one side of the planet to the other - not 42 minutes, as previously calculated. The hypothetical scenario finds that when the different densities of Earth\u2019s layers are taken into account, the trip is four minutes shorter than predicted. A student from McGill University in Canada examined the hypothetical scenario of falling through Earth (graphic shown). Originally it was thought the journey from one side to the other. When Earth's density is considered, the new estimate is 38 minutes and 11 seconds . The latest time estimate was calculated by Alexander Klotz, a graduate student of physics at McGill University in Montreal, Canada and published in The American Journal of Astrophysics. \u2018This was a bit of a surprise to me,\u2019 Mr Klotz told The Times. Theoretically speaking, as a person falls through Earth, gravity is constantly changing as they make their way to the middle. Consequently they would speed up as they approached the centre, and begin to slow down again as they made their way to the other side. Ignoring drag effects due to the presence of air, it would take exactly the same amount of time to make the journey either side of the core. Under these conditions, the speed reached during the descent would be enough for to reach the surface on the other side. Earth\u2019s density is less than 2,200lbs (1,000kg) per cubic metre at the surface, but 28,700 lbs (13,000kg) per cubic metre at the core - 3,960 miles (6,370km) below. And 2,200 miles (3,500km) from the centre, about half way, there is also a dramatic jump in density near the outer core. Using these numbers it would take 38 minutes 11 seconds to fall through Earth - four minutes and a second quicker than thought. \u2018Basically, the way the Earth is structured, the gravity increases slightly as you go deeper towards the dense core, to about 110 per cent of its surface value, before getting weaker as you move through the core, reaching zero [per cent] at the centre. The original theory goes like this: If a hole was dug from one point on Earth to the other on the opposite side, it would take 42 minutes and 12 seconds to fall through. For example, if a person fell from London to the Antipodes Islands - which are roughly the other side of the world - it would supposedly take that long to travel the whole way. Of course, they'd need some sort of tunnel that could survive the intense heat and pressure inside Earth, and their body would also need to be able to survive the conditions. Plus handle a top speed of 18,000 mph (29,000 km/h). Theoretically speaking, as a person falls through Earth, gravity is constantly changing as they make their way to the middle.

Simone Gbagbo, the wife of former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo was also accused of 'organising armed gangs' after her husband rejected results of the 2010 presidential elections. The court 'unanimously' condemned her to 20 years in jail, court president Tahirou Dembele said. Ivory Coast's former first lady Simone Gbagbo arrives at the Court of Justice in Abidjan last month during her trial for 'attempting to undermine the security of the state' in events leading to 2010-2011 electoral bloodshed . Gbagbo's face hardened as the verdict was read. She was 'a little affected' by the sentence, her lawyer Me Rodrigue Dadje told AFP. 'I am ashamed of Ivorian justice,' he said, adding that they would appeal the sentence. 'We showed that impunity in Ivory Coast must not continue,' said state prosecutor Soungalo Coulibaly.

Once referred to by admirers and opponents alike as Ivory Coast's 'Iron Lady,' Simone Gbagbo has been on trial since January with 82 co-defendants accused of varying degrees of involvement in the deadly unrest. A key issue in her trial was whether she played a part in directing the death squads that ran amok in the weeks after the disputed vote. Prosecutors had asked for a lighter 10-year jail term for the 65-year-old Gbagbo. 'Simone Gbagbo most certainly participated in the composition of armed gangs,' state prosecutor Simon Yabo Odi told the court, adding 'her men... participated in an insurrectional movement.'

The previous day, the former first lady gave testimony for nearly four hours, confronting witnesses who said they'd seen her distributing arms to youths in Abidjan with flat denials. She told the court that she 'forgives' her accusers, saying: 'I have suffered humiliation on humiliation during this trial. 'But I am ready to forgive... because if we do not forgive, the country faces a crisis worse than what we experienced.' She also said she did not 'know exactly what the concrete actions are that I am being accused of', and insisted her husband had legitimately won the 2010 election.

Ms Hutch went upstairs at the two-storey property to find her bag, and when she could not see it in her bedroom she had a 'quick look' over the balustrade of a landing at the top of the stairs to see if it was in the kitchen below. She lost her balance and fell over the balustrade, falling several metres onto the floor below. Ms Hutch suffered head and spinal injuries and is now a paraplegic. Jane Hutch tried to sue her landlord after she fell off an upstairs landing and was left paraplegic . She sued her landlord Christopher Geoffrey Ryan for damages in the District Court of Western Australia, claiming that the balustrade was too low and she was therefore unable to stop herself once she had begun to fall. But Judge Felicity Davis ruled that the accident was caused by Ms Hutch's 'severe intoxication' and Mr Ryan was therefore not liable for damages. Ms Hutch gave evidence that she and her son started drinking sparkling wine at 10.30am on December 25, and said she 'probably' drank a bottle or the equivalent of 6.5 standard drinks. The accident occurred just before 1.30pm and she was taken to hospital by ambulance. Tests at hospital found she had a blood alcohol level about six times the legal driving limit.

Judge Davis also found that the balustrade measured 865mm and was compliant with building codes, despite Ms Hutch's expert witnesses submitting evidence suggesting it only measured 857mm.

But there the comparison ends, for 19-year-old Heather Mack faces a lifetime behind bars - or even death by firing squad - if convicted of the premeditated murder of her socialite mother, Sheilah von Wiese-Mack. A little more than 24 hours before this exclusive glance through a Bali hospital window, Miss Mack had given birth in a caesarian operation to her 6lb 1oz daughter, Stella Schaefer, the last name being that of the baby's father and her co-accused 21-year-old Tommy Schaefer. Scroll down for video . With her hair pulled back and wearing no make-up, Heather Mack looks no different from other young mothers soon after childbirth as she pulls back the curtains to let the sun shine in on her new baby at a Bali hospital . Earlier this week Mack had given birth in a caesarian operation to her 6lb 1oz daughter, Stella Schaefer, the surname being after the father and her co-accused 21-year-old Tommy Schaefer . Out of sight as she drew back the curtains at the Sanglah Hospital was the tiny baby in her cot and a prison guard. Although Miss Mack is not considered a flight risk, as a woman facing a serious charge she has to remain under guard at all time, no matter what the circumstances. Joining her in the hospital room - and standing for a short time at the window - were the child's grandmother, Tommy Schaefer's mother, and other relatives and friends who had flown from their homes in Chicago. And it is from his mother and relatives that Schaefer will have to rely for a first hand description of his baby, for he has been refused the right to travel under guard from Kerobokan Prison to the hospital. Prison sources said he was 'pacing up and down with frustration' in his cell as he anxiously waits for the moment when he will first set eyes on his daughter. \u2018He\u2019s going crazy in there, wanting to see his daughter, but he\u2019s been told he's a prisoner on a serious charge and there will be no hospital visits,\u2019 a prison source said. Mack, 19, was taken to hospital from Kerobokan Prison after she started to have contractions earlier this week . Mack had expressed fears that she would have to deliver the baby behind bars because she did not have a down payment that the hospital, pictured, wanted up front . Unless the prison grants him a special privilege to see the baby, he is unlikely to see her until - and if - Miss Mack takes the child with her to their next scheduled court appearance on March 24. There is every likelihood of the couple\u2019s next court appearance - their cases are being held separately - being adjourned while she regains the strength to face the judges in the Denpasar District", "summary": "Heather Mack, 19, was pictured at her hospital window little more than 24 hours after giving birth to her daughter Stella via caesarian .

So, given their obsession with all things Kardashian, we decided on California this year - a classic American road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway (aka Route 1) from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We took our time (three weeks) to do it, but fitted so much in that I can't hang about now. San Francisco is known as America's most European city, you'll need to pack a fleece even in late July . So here we go... San Francisco is known as America's most European city, possibly because you'll need to pack a fleece even in late July. The mist that rolls in off the sea and shrouds the Golden Gate Bridge most days can sometimes linger, but we never stayed still long enough to get cold. Based in the funky Hotel Zetta - where the foyer combines games room and bar, and is plastered with colossal photos of John Lennon and past guests of Alcatraz - we spent three days hurtling around the city, often clinging for dear life to the famous cable cars that haul you up and down the City's equally famous hills. 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 to America with her teenage children, Molly, 15 and Dylan who's 17 . And, fleeces on, we took the boat trip to Alcatraz, which is not to be missed. The brilliant audio guide that leads you around the prison is narrated only by men who were once guards or prisoners on the rock. It's an eerie and compelling tour. After trying to distil the city into only 72 hours, we climbed into our SUV and headed for Route 1. It's only about 350 miles as the crow flies between San Francisco and LA, but this (mostly) coastal route is probably well over 500 miles long as it winds through some of California's most wonderful, ever-changing scenery. Much of the highway has a 55mph speed limit and has only one lane in each direction - it's time to take your foot off the gas, relax and take it all in. The kids said it reminded them of Dorset as we headed south past Santa Cruz and then nipped briefly into Monterey to dine in a seafront restaurant on the edge of Cannery Row, the waterfront district made famous in John Steinbeck's novel of the same name. At Dylan's insistence, we took a detour on to 17 Mile Drive, the scenic road around the Monterey Peninsula that leads to the world-famous Pebble Beach golf club.

The couple reconciled soon after and Stephanie used her new sense of determination to join her local Weight Watchers group.

Self-styled coyote spotters in and around Chappaqua have counted 160 incursions into backyards and streets over the last two years and at least 10 recent attacks on pets. That's been enough to stir animal passions among residents over the question of when and if a coyote deserves to be killed. Email and social media have swirled with such teeth-baring terms as 'coyote jihad' and 'death map.'

Chappaqua, about 35 miles north of the city, is better known as the home of former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton than as a playground for coyotes. But wildlife officials say the demise of such predators as wolves and cougars over the last few decades has led to a spread of coyotes into more populated areas across the East Coast, including suburbs. Instagram and Facebook are replete with pictures of the canines scampering across sidewalks and among backyard playsets. Coyotes have even been spotted in New York City's Central Park and the Bronx. Robert Greenstein, supervisor of the Town of New Castle, which has about 18,000 residents in Chappaqua, Millwood and unincorporated areas, said that in general, the debate is between two camps: 'One group is concerned with protecting the coyotes and the other group is more concerned with protecting our pets.' The pet-protection camp, represented by the New Castle Coyote Management Task Force, argues for quicker use of 'lethal solutions.' Even though there have been no attacks on humans, they fear the skulking canines may start to attack small children.

The Airbus A380, currently the world's largest passenger airliner, carries around 525 people. Scroll down for video . The Progress Eagle has three decks to provide capacity for more than 800 passengers along with beds and office space for crew members . The AWWA-QG Progress Eagle was dreamed up by Barcelona-based designer Oscar Vi\u00f1als as part of his vision for how travelling by air could be in 2030. His design uses six hydrogen fuel engines - one to drive a central screw-type engine at the rear to achieve the thrust needed to take off along with five superconductive engines. Capacity: 800 passengers . Wingspan: 96m . Length: 80m . Decks: 3 . Engines: Five superconductive engines . Other features: Solar panels on wings and rear engine that doubles as wind turbine . Once it reaches the right altitude, however, the central engine turns off and starts to generate electricity from the airflowing through it. Solar panels would also help to generate electrical power that the aircraft uses while it is in flight. Mr Vi\u00f1als said that the aircraft would produce zero carbon emissions and would also be far quieter than current airliners. Excess energy stored in the aircraft's batteries could be recovered by special electrical storage trucks on the ground when it lands. The cockpit itself is located on the second deck and includes beds an office and a workroom. According to Mr Vi\u00f1als the aircraft would be made from lightweight materials like carbon fibre, aluminum, titanium and ceramics. He said the wingspan would be 96 metres (314 feet) with the option of folding a section of the wings to make the aircraft easier to manoeuvre in airports. An Airbus A380 has a wingspan of 80 metres (262 feet) and a Boeing 747 is 64 metres (209 feet) across.

Now, in a study of more than 2,000 recipes, scientists have discovered the secret behind curry's popularity on a molecular level.

Scroll down for video . With their intoxicating spices and complex flavours, Indian curries are enjoyed the world over. Now, in an analysis of more than 2,000 popular recipes, scientists have discovered the secret behind curry's popularity on a molecular level . Researchers at the Indian Institute for Technology in Delhi looked at how often overlapping flavour compounds were used in a dish's ingredients. They reviewed of recipes on TarlaDalal.com, studying the subtle molecular-level differences that distinguish the cuisine, according to a report in the Washington Post. 'We found that average flavour sharing in Indian cuisine was significantly lesser than expected,' researchers wrote. The study found that ingredients such as garam masala and bell peppers are usually teamed up with other ingredients that have no chemical similarity. Out of the 381 cooking ingredients in the world, the research team from that Indian food used 200 in their cuisine. 'Each of the spices is uniquely placed in its recipe to shape the flavor sharing pattern with rest of the ingredients,' the researchers said . This is in contrast to Western dishes that share like flavours. Chefs, for instance claim that seemingly incongruous ingredients, such as chocolate and blue cheese, can taste good together because they share similar compounds. A spice commonly used in curry could help erase bad memories, according to a study. Curcumin, a bright-yellow compound found in the root of the Indian spice turmeric, prevented new fear memories being stored in the brain, and also removed pre-existing fear memories, researchers found. It is hoped that the findings will help develop treatments for people suffering with psychological disorders. Psychologists from The City University of New York trained rats to become scared when they heard a particular sound. Scientists assumed the creatures were frightened when they froze. Hours later, when the same sound was played to the rats, those who had been given ordinary food froze. Yet the rats fed the curcumin-rich diet didn't freeze, suggesting their fearful memories had been erased. An example is acetal, which can be found in whiskey, apple juice, orange juice and raw beets. Strawberries, meanwhile, have flavour compounds that match white wine. In Indian dishes, the more overlap two ingredients have in flavour, the less likely they are to appear in the same Indian dish, the scientists said. Researchers believe this makes the dish more tasty as the ingredients each bring their own unique flavour to the dish, rather than simply blending in.

The girls' deaths were ruled homicides. The manner of the mother's death remained undetermined, but authorities said it appeared the mother shot the girls and then committed suicide. Flowers and stuffed animals were left next to a pile of yellow police tape outside the home Monday morning. At the school Katherine, known as 'Katy,' attended, officials were trying to provide the children with as much normalcy as possible while also making grief counselors available.

Now Lidl, the bargain supermarket chain the middle class love, is trying the luxury-on-the-cheap approach with something rather different: lingerie. The collection, entitled See You In Venice, is part of the Esmara clothing range, and consists of four bra designs in cup sizes 34B, 36B, 38B and 38C. The bras are available in polka-dot, slate grey, black trimmed with pink or nude and black, and cost \u00a33.99.

All the lingerie is made in China from polyester, Lycra and nylon, and is available in Lidl stores while stocks last.

Each was rated by the team from one - very strong - to four - very weak - to determine the research's reliability. The council only used studies which were deemed controlled trials - and therefore included a comparison group who were not given homeopathic treatment. It found there is no conclusive evidence that homeopathy is more effective than placebos in treating patients and easing their symptoms. The council's chief executive, professor Warwick Anderson, said: 'The review shows that there is no good quality evidence to support the claim that homeopathy works better than a placebo. 'People who choose homeopathy may put their health at risk if they reject or delay treatments for which there is good evidence for safety and effectiveness. 'People who are considering whether to use homeopathy should first get advice from a registered health practitioner and in the meanwhile keep taking any prescribed treatments.'

Speculation over why he has seldom been seen in public has been rife as accusations of involvement in the death of Boris Nemtsov and rumours of fathering a lovechild reach fever pitch.

Vladimir Putin has not been seen in public for ten days because he is 'in bed with a cold', say sources close to the Russian politician . But sources close to the Kremlin now say the reason for Putin's disappearance is a nasty cold which has left him bed bound. Opposition television station Dozhd quoted sources close to the leader as saying this was why he had been hidden from view. Despite his apparent illness, the leader will tune in to state television tonight to watch a pre-recorded documentary on the battle for Crimea. In it he makes the startling admission that Russia was prepared to put its nuclear weapons on alert to secure the peninsula. Wearing a stony expression, he tells the camera: 'We were ready to do it,' when asked whether he would have put nuclear weapons on alert. 'I talked with colleagues and told them that this is our historic territory. 'Russian people live there, they are in danger and we cannot leave them,' he continued, claiming a bout of flu caused him to remain hidden from public view for almost two weeks. His vanishing act comes after the murder of opponent Boris Nemtsov . He also claims to have had intelligence which indicated anti-Russia militants planned to kill ousted Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych. 'His physical removal was being prepared,' said Putin who has previously blamed the West for orchestrating the toppling of the pro-Moscow leader. 'It was not us who carried out the coup,' he insisted. He also suggested that Yanukovych could have saved himself from a coup if he had used weapons on protesters. 'I do not want to evaluate his work.... (but) he said \"I could not sign an order on use of weaponry. I could not bring myself to do it.\" 'Can we blame him for it? I cannot say.

Angela Taylor, now 50, was just one of many nine and 10-year-old children targeted by Ronald Wotton on a daily basis at East Durham Catholic primary school between 1968 and 1980. She went to police in the wake of the Jimmy Savile revelations after telling herself she couldn't take the truth about her abuse to the grave. Ms Taylor has now waived her anonymity to tell how the abuse affected her life and of her relief at seeing Wotton convicted and sent to jail. Angela Taylor was one of a number of pupils targeted by a paedophile teacher in the 1960s and 70s. She has waived her anonymity to tell of the impact the abuse had on her life and of her relief at seeing him jailed . During her school days, Wotton would catch Angela's eye during lessons, call her up to the front of the class and make her stand behind his desk while he sexually abused her. Children were so afraid of the teacher, they would make themselves vomit by pouring washing up liquid down their throats to avoid his classes. Wotton, now 73, was finally reported over thirty years later in 2013 when Ms Taylor read about allegations of child abuse committed by Jimmy Savile and rang police. Her complaint was the first and started off a huge police investigation which led to 20 other victims coming forward. During his sentencing on November 5 last year, Teesside Crown Court heard that Wotton was a bully who had an obsession with authority and abused children for his own sexual gratification. The court heard how Wotton's offending extended to PE lessons, where he would make children touch their toes so he could look at them, as well as wandering into their changing rooms during swimming lessons, in the hope of seeing them naked. Wotton, who now uses a wheelchair, admitted 17 counts of indecent assault, three counts of indecency with a male and one of indecency with a child over a 12-year period from the late 1960s and was jailed for five years. Ronald Wotton's victim described him as an 'evil bully' who wrecked the childhoods of his pupils . Angela, of Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, said: 'I was terrified of Ronald, he was an evil bully and he ruined my childhood as well as many other people's lives. 'I came from a devout Catholic family, my mother was a teacher and I was made to feel as though God was punishing me for something I had done wrong. 'In Year 5, the year I went into Ronald's class, it was common knowledge that something bad was going to happen to us and we were all afraid. 'I couldn't confide in any of my family and he was just getting away with abusing us - I feel completely let down by the school and my religion.

The son of a taxi driver and a social science teacher, the glittering world he came to inhabit was a far cry from the humble terraced home in Lewisham, south London, where he grew up with his five brothers and sisters. After leaving school at 16 with a single O-Level in art, the fledgling designer went on to do an apprenticeship at Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes, before a stint at theatrical costumiers, Angels and Bermans. Both would have huge influence on his later career. McQueen's big break came following a spell in Milan working for Romeo Gigli. On his return to London, he applied to Central St Martins for work as a pattern cutter. Impressed by his portfolio, Bobby Hilson, the head of the master's course, persuaded him to enrol as a student instead. His faith in McQueen paid off. The designer's graduate collection earned him rave reviews and the entire thing was bought by Isabella Blow. Talented: McQueen, pictured left during his S/S06 show and, right, backstage with a model, was one of the UK's most talented designers .

Warrington had ended Leeds 100 per cent record in toppling them from top spot in their last match but they could not repeat the feat against a Saints side that for an hour played like champions. Wilkin, once more revelling in his role of makeshift scrum-half, was the architect of a superb 32-24 victory, Saints' sixth out of six so far in their title defence, scoring one try and setting up two others to put his side into an 18-6 half-time lead. Jon Wilkin scores a try past Matty Russell during the Super League match at Langtree Park . St Helens' victory was based on their aggressive forward display but some of the shine was taken away by the loss of outstanding second rower Joe Greenwood with a suspected broken arm. Warrington carved out the first scoring chance of a frantic opening, with centre Ryan Atkins breaking out of his own 20-metre area to give winger Kevin Penny a sniff of the try line but Saints scrambled superbly to keep it intact. It was end-to-end football, with Wolves stand-off Chris Bridge unable to finish off a clean break by Stefan Ratchford and St Helens left winger Adam Swift twice bundled into touch before Greenwood broke the deadlock on 17 minutes.

The champions were clearly winning the physical battle but the visitors demonstrated their potency on 24 minutes when hooker Daryl Clark dummied his way over from dummy half after prop Ashton Sims had been hauled down short of the line. Ratchford's goal levelled the scores but Saints, with hooker James Roby making a belated return to the side from the bench, struck twice in the last 12 minutes of the first half to establish control. Micky Higham celebrates his second half try during the match . Wilkin fortuitously scored the first, taking advantage of a kind bounce by regathering the ball after centre Jordan Turner had twice kicked ahead and then produced a sublime cut-out pass to get Swift over.

Warrington pulled a try back on 48 minutes through replacement hooker Mick Higham, who shot through a gap in the home defence from dummy half to touch down, with Gareth O'Brien adding the goal to cut the gap to just six points.

How to handle your growing child when they simply won't behave - at home or at school - and what to do when they won't communicate or worse, descend into a barrage of blistering abuse when they do speak. One of the country's leading headteachers says parents fearing their offspring are heading off the rails can remedy many situations, however volatile, if they simply work more closely with the child's school. Dame Sally Coates, pictured at her home in Twickenham, London, said parents need to strike a balance between being too strict and too soft with their children . Dame Sally has been widely praised for her no-nonsense approach to discipline and for turning around Burlington Danes Academy in White City, London (pictured) Dame Sally Coates, who turned around Burlington Danes Academy in White City, London, and has been widely praised for her no-nonsense approach to discipline, says parents are often too quick to get into a battle with the school when a child misbehaves. 'Parents and schools must support each other. If a child is rude at home and gets into trouble at school, frequently they'll go home and complain that a teacher is picking on them,' she tells FEMAIL. 'So the parent, to win over a bad relationship at home, will take the position of the child and attack the school. 'I\u2019ve seen this happen so many times and it\u2019s the worst thing to do.' Dame Sally has spent 40 years working in challenging schools and is currently director of the education charity United Learning's southern academies. During her time as head of some of London's toughest schools, Dame Sally says she was always adamant on seeing parents alone if there was a problem: 'Parents should work with the school. If you're worried about your child, meet with the school without them there. 'If you work together then you\u2019re much more likely to be successful than if you use the school as a way of getting back into the good books with your child.' With four children of her own and three step-children with husband Serge, Dame Sally has, during some of the most demanding periods of her career, juggled teenagers at home and teenagers at work and appreciates young people don't come with a manual. 'There are thousands of programmes on television about how to cook, but there are hardly any about how to be a good parent. It's important to strike a balance between being too strict and too soft. Dame Sally, pictured with her husband Serge Cefia, has four children of her own and three step-children . Schools must share responsibility when things go wrong too, she adds: 'Teachers and heads work with thousands of teenagers, whereas parents just deal with one or two.

Wakefield hit back to close the gap to four points early in the second half but further tries from two other Wakefield old boys, Danny Brough and Brett Ferres, plus others from Leroy Cudjoe and Ukuma Ta'ai, helped the visitors to a comfortable 44-14 victory. Scott Grix scored the quickest hat-trick from the start of a Super League match in Huddersfield's victory . It was a fourth straight defeat for the Wildcats, who had started the season with so much hope after gaining back-to-back wins, and drops them to the foot of the table. The match was memorable for Grix's early heroics but little else as both sides produced a string of errors to leave both coaches frustrated. The record for the fastest hat-trick of tries scored from the start of any match remains with Huddersfield's former player and current assistant coach Chris Thorman, who scored his within six minutes and 54 seconds of the Giants' National League Cup semi-final against Doncaster in 2002. Grix got his first after just 63 seconds after Brough had put second rower Ferres into a gap and finished off a flowing move for his second four minutes later. The 44-14 thrashing of Wakefield was Huddersfield's third win on the spin and moved them up to fourth . The former Wakefield full-back then gathered possession from Craig Hall's kick 20 metres from his own line and sprinted 80 metres for a glorious solo try to complete his treble.

After a run of eight straight Mercedes victories stretching back into what proved to be a crushing 2014 campaign, Ferrari and Vettel proved there may be a battle ahead this term with a win in Malaysia on Sunday. It was Ferrari's first triumph for almost two years and has given the championship scrap this season a shot in the arm after Mercedes' romp in the opening race in Australia which suggested another dominant run was looming.

'It is not as if the weather was funny or safety cars destroyed their race, Sebastian was just quicker. I was very impressed by him. 'He did a great job which shows things can turn around over a winter, which is good to see for every team. It's nice to see someone challenge them.'

'It is one of those situations which sometimes works out for you, for example (Daniel) Ricciardo was overtaken by his new team-mate (Daniil Kvyat), and lapped by his ex-team-mate (Vettel) on the same lap.

It would appear McLaren need luck and a whole lot more besides to make them competitive any time soon as both Button and Alonso retired with technical issues. It was the first time neither McLaren had been classified since the 2006 Australian Grand Prix. 'We have a lot of work to do before we can think about winning,' said Button.

The doctor, who had only met Mr Steen that night, gave the 23-year-old media student class B drug Mephedrone and class C drug gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), one of the most common date-rape drugs.

He had taken a great deal more of the class C drug than any of the other three of you. 'Allowing that to happen was a terrible dereliction of your duty.

US researchers claim that the fast onset of global warming is set to alter the way people live, even over short time scales. This is according to new evidence which 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. New evidence 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 Arctic (purple) will be have the most dramatic increase, followed by North America (brown), Europe (black) and Asia (red) 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. 'We focused on changes over 40-year periods, which is similar to the lifetime of houses and human-built infrastructure such as buildings and roads,' said lead scientist Dr Steve Smith, from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington. 'In the near term, we're going to have to adapt to these changes.' Overall, the world is getting warmer due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions that trap the sun's heat. But, given natural climate variability over short times scales, the likely effect of global warming over humanly relevant periods such as the length of a person's life is not so well understood. 'We focused on changes over 40-year periods, which is similar to the lifetime of houses and human-built infrastructure,' said lead scientist Dr Steve Smith, from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington. The graph shows the predicted changes under different scenarios of climate change . The new study started off by calculating how fast temperatures changed between 1850 and 1930, a period when the amount of fossil fuel gases collecting in the atmosphere was low. This was compared with temperature data for the past 2,000 years obtained by studying tree rings, corals and ice cores and predicted 40-year rates of change between 1971 and 2020. 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. Dr Smith added: 'In these climate model simulations, the world is just now starting to enter into a new place, where rates of temperature change are consistently larger than historical values over 40-year time spans. 'We need to better understand what the effects of this will be and how to prepare for them.' The findings are published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

The opener was asked to compare England's attack to Afghanistan, who almost pulled off a stunning win over Sri Lanka earlier in the tournament, and said: 'To be honest that day Afghanistan's bowlers did really well but there was a little bit for the seamers.

The court heard that Ingrid Brewer, 53, of Palmdale, California, became increasingly sadistic, binding the children's hands with zip-ties and viciously beating them with electrical cords and a hammer. The seven-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy, who were found in the street in freezing temperatures after running away, testified that they were locked into separate bedrooms when Brewer went to work each day, were deprived of food and forced to use wastebaskets for a lavatory. Twisted: Ingrid Brewer, 53 (left), was found guilty of two counts of torture after she subjected her two small, adopted children to a sequence of horrific attacks with electrical cables, pipes and a hammer. She also deprived them of food and locked them in their room at her Palmdale home (right) while she went to work . Brewer was initially a foster mother to the children, but she then adopted them. Her conviction has raised questions about the standards applied to vetting prospective adoptive parents in the state. The LA Times reported that after Brewer\u2019s arrest, it emerged that she had a history of child abuse investigations going back to 2001, when the county's child abuse hotline received a tip-off that she was abusing her biological children. However, social workers decided to take no further action. At the time of the adoption, Brewer's file contained at least nine investigations of alleged abuse over the previous 12 years, according to the LA Times. Both the boy and the girl were home-schooled by their reclusive adoptive mother in the middle-class suburb of Palmdale. Neighbours reported that Brewer was aloof and unfriendly, and one was not even aware that she had children. It was only due to the bravery of the eight-year-old boy that the torture came to light. \u2018The brother was the one that managed to get himself out of his bedroom,\u2019 Sgt. Brian Hudson of Los Angeles County's Special Victims Bureau told MyFoxLA after the children escaped in January 2013. \u2018He managed to get his sister out of her bedroom and told her, \u201cIt's time to go, we've got to get out of this house.\u201d The children, he said, who were 'tired of being tied up and beaten', escaped without their coats in freezing temperatures, and hid several blocks away. When Brewer became aware of the disappearance she called the police, who launched a search of the area. The children were found hours later, huddled under a blanket in the street in the bitter cold. They told officers about the torture they were suffering, and Brewer - who told detectives that one of the reasons she was locking the children up was because they had been stealing food - was arrested. Investigators said marks and injuries on the victims\u2019 bodies were consistent with the abuse they described. The children were also apparently malnourished.

In the final days of campaigning, Netanyahu vowed in an historic U-turn that his government would never agree to the creation of a Palestinian state. But now President Barack Obama is contemplating using the United Nations as a trump card to force the issue. Under a plan outlined by Foreign Policy magazine, the U.S. State Department would ease away from decades of opposition to a Security Council resolution demanding peace talks and a final rapprochement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The White House cautiously avoided commenting on its future plans on Thursday when it was bombarded with questions by reporters on the topic, saying only that it would 'evaluate what our path is forward' is in light of Netanyahu's comments.

The Obama administration hoped to see Netanyahu's left-wing rival, Isaac Herzog, prevail on Tuesday. Diplomats at the UN privately learned in the run-up to Election Day that the U.S. would not press the UN Security Council on peace talks if Herzog were to win, since he would likely have carried the ball on his own. But with Netanyahu poised to organize a coalition government comprised of right-wing and ultra-Orthodox parties opposed to a Palestinian state, all bets are off. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday that 'we\u2019re currently evaluating our approach. We\u2019re not going to prejudge what we would do if there was a UN action.' The chief spokesman for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue reiterated the administration's position on Thursday and made clear that no decisions had been made yet on the United States' part. He also refused to characterize the president's reaction to Netanyahu's victory, stating that, obviously, the president was 'aware' of it when asked by a reporter if Obama was 'disappointed' with the election results.

Tory HQ is planning a \u2018kill Ukip\u2019 campaign in the Kent constituency where Nigel Farage is standing for Parliament after he vowed to quit as party leader if he loses. Mr Farage declared yesterday that it would be \u2018curtains\u2019 for him if he fails to win the Ukip target seat of South Thanet. He conceded it would be impossible for him to continue to dictate Ukip policy without a seat in the House of Commons. Ukip is aiming to win around half a dozen seats, but Mr Farage appears to face a tougher fight than Douglas Carswell, the Tory defector who won a big majority when he stood for Ukip in a by-election. Polls suggest he is in a three-way battle with Labour and the Conservatives. The Tories hold the seat, while Labour previously held it with slightly different borders. Conservative strategists believe Mr Farage has made a significant blunder by tying his fortunes in South Thanet to his future as party leader. \u2018This is a great opportunity,\u2019 said one. \u2018We can now make this a decapitation campaign. If voters who have previously backed other parties want to stop Ukip, they can vote for us and cut the head off the snake.\u2019 The strategist said that if Mr Farage stood down after losing the seat, Mr Carswell was likely to take over and \u2018that would be the end of Ukip\u2019. Other candidates to succeed the Ukip leader include communities spokesman Suzanne Evans and former journalist Patrick O\u2019Flynn, both Euro MPs. Mr Farage appears at odds over several areas of policy with key members of his team, Mr Carswell, who has expressed concern about the \u2018ugly nativism\u2019 of some Ukip supporters and spoken in favour of immigration.

Researchers have found that the large mammals excel at identifying explosives by smell, stirring speculation about whether their extraordinary ability could save lives. Elephants could be used to detect land mines in areas that have seen conflict and could even do so at a distance with the aid of drones. Researchers have found that elephants excel at identifying explosives by smell, stirring speculation about whether their extraordinary ability could save lives. A stock image is shown . The research was conducted in South Africa and involved the U.S. military. On a game reserve co-owned by Sean Hensman, three elephants passed the smell tests. Sniffing at buckets, they were rewarded with a treat of marula - a tasty fruit - when they showed that they recognised samples of TNT by raising a front leg. \u2018They work it out very, very quickly,\u2019 he said. Stephen Lee, head scientist at the US Army Research Office, which backed the study financially, said that elephants remember their training longer than dogs. Elephants could be used to detect land mines in areas that have seen conflict and could even do so at a distance with the aid of drones. This image shows an a warning sign in an area littered with explosives . Last summer, researchers confirmed that African elephants have the best sense of smell in the animal kingdom. Scientists from the University of Tokyo said elephants have the largest number of genes dedicated to smell of any mammal. They have 2,000 genes that are dedicated to scent - twice as many as dogs and five times as many as humans. Previous studies have shown that the animals have well-developed olfactory systems that include large olfactory bulbs and areas in the brain. They seem to be able to distinguish between two Kenyan ethnic groups\u2014the Maasai, who spear elephants to demonstrate strength, and the Kamba, who pose little threat to the animals. The ability of elephants to detect explosives was first noticed in Angola - a country that many elephants had returned to after a 2002 peace deal ended a protracted war. While there was peace, the land remained sown with mine fields. Some elephants seemed to intentionally avoid them, though it might not have been a scent that kept them away - they could instead have associated those areas with danger because elephants had died there in the past. Researchers decided to investigate and in Bela-Bela, a town north of the South African capital of Pretoria, elephants named Shan, Mussina and Chishuru were administered smelling tests. The elephants detected TNT samples 73 out of the 74 times that they encountered in a line of buckets, according to Ashadee Kay Miller, a zoology student at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.

It found that walkers are 40 per cent more likely to be run over by a quiet hybrid or electric car than by one with a petrol or diesel engine. And as the number of green vehicles grows because of Government tax breaks for eco-friendly cars, the number of injuries they cause has been rising fast, it said. Scroll down for video . Cars with electric or hybrid engines, which are much quieter than regular petrol cars, are driving a huge rise in accidents among pedestrians who do not hear them coming . The report from the Guide Dogs charity found a 54 per cent increase in pedestrian injuries in accidents involving quiet cars between 2012 and 2013. The charity \u2013 which says that guide dog owners and their animals are particularly at risk from vehicles that they cannot hear coming \u2013 called for laws to make noise generating systems compulsory on all hybrids. Guide Dogs manager James White said: \u2018Quiet vehicles put pedestrians at risk outside schools, in residential areas and in our towns and cities. 'The Government is spending hundreds of millions of pounds to increase the numbers of quiet cars on the roads, and while we support the development of environmentally friendly vehicles, more needs to be done to protect pedestrian safety.\u2019 The call for legislation was backed with a survey carried out by YouGov which found more than three quarters thought hybrids make the roads less safe for blind or partially-sighted pedestrians. Similar proportions thought quiet green cars are a threat to older people and to children. Electric cars and hybrids running under electric power move silently and are likely to surprise people on foot who expect to hear the approach of a vehicle. The visually impaired are among the worst affected by the switch to electric as guide dogs also struggle to identify the threat, with campaigners calling for noise generators to be made compulsory . Car builders and independent companies have been working on a range of artificial sound generators that would lessen the risk of accidents. Most involve speakers fixed to the car, which work in the direction the car is moving to reduce nuisance to people who are not in the way. Sounds promoted vary from a reproduction of the whine of an old electric motor through computerised squawks to a rumble reminiscent of a diesel or petrol combustion engine. EU rules say such generators must be fitted to quiet cars by 2021, but Guide Dogs said that before then there will be thousands more potentially dangerous green cars on the road. It said that car makers should \u2018do the right thing and fit sound generating systems to quiet vehicles before it becomes compulsory.\u2019 Legislation in Britain should also insist that noise-making equipment is not only fitted to a car but always switched on, Guide Dogs said.

The Welsh also fare badly, with the researchers declaring them to be exceptionally shy and neurotic. The Scots, however, can hold their heads high, as they are the friendliest and most emotionally stable people in Britain.

Jason 'Jay' Page, 20, from Telford, reaped a legal whirlwind when he posted a wounding review on Colorado-based Timothy Bussey's Google Maps profile.

Mr Bussey was left fuming by the anonymous post, which seemed to be from a dissatisfied client and stated to the world that 'he loses 80% of his cases'. The post remained live on the web for about a year and Mr Bussey and his firm, The Bussey Law Firm, suffered severe damage to their reputations. Mr Bussey was not willing to let the matter rest and, at huge expense, employed a Californian law firm to subpoena Google's records to find out who was responsible. That led him to the door of Mr Page, aged in his 20s, who was living with his parents in Sutton Hill, Telford, and ended up on the receiving end of a full-scale High Court libel case. Timothy Bussey's law practice in Colorado Springs: Jason Page was ordered to pay damages after leaving abuse on the lawyer's Google Maps profile . He insisted that he bore no responsibility for the post and that his Google account must have been hacked by someone else. He said that a hacker might have been seeking revenge for something he had done as a 'moderator' of the www.reddit.com website. However, Judge Sir David Eady said hacking into Mr Page's account would have been challenging, with the perpetrator needing to bypass passwords and sophisticated security. There was no indication that anyone held a grudge against him and the judge described the hacking explanation as 'extremely improbable'. The 'overwhelming probability' was that that Mr Page had either authored the post himself or authorised it. Mr Page was ordered by the court to pay \u00a350,000 damages, along with Mr Bussey's legal costs, of which he must pay \u00a350,000 on account .

The Mail on Sunday knows their identities but they cannot be named for legal reasons. The couple married in 2002, and the husband \u2013 who already had two children by a previous marriage \u2013 had his vasectomy reversed so they could have a baby. But the wife failed to conceive and turned to the ex-lover for comfort. A family source said: \u2018The marriage was turbulent.

The teachers union at Park Elementary School in Munhall, Pennsylvania, filed a grievance about Kaitlin Montgomery (left), pictured with her mother Tracy Montgomery (right), because she was using the faculty restroom on the school's lower level which violated their contracts . Kaitlin, a fourth grader, has chronic lung disease, pulmonary hypertension and foot problems, and is also autistic. There are no student bathrooms on the school's lower level, where Kaitlin's classroom is located .

Kaitlin can't walk long distances, so her family uses a custom-made stroller for easier transportation. Because of her physical disabilities, Kaitlin cannot walk long distances and her family uses a custom-made stroller for transportation . Montgomery said that this is just one of Kaitlin's many issues at the school. Because there is no elevator from the school's lower level to the top levels, her daughter is unable to access the music and art rooms for classes . Montgomery found out about the grievance through a Post-Gazette article, after which she said she was 'embarrassed for the teachers and appalled. Steel Valley Education Association President Shawn McCallister said the grievance wasn't filed to prevent the student from using the restroom, the Post-Gazette reported, but to create 'a better outcome for all involved'.

No other alternatives met the girl's needs, he said, and noted that the student is the only non-faculty member using the restroom.

A team of researchers has been customising a defence system used by bacteria and training this scissor-like machinery to recognise the HIV virus. In their tests, they found that the technique could completely remove up to 72 per cent of cells that had been infected with HIV. A team of researchers has been customising a defence system used by bacteria and training this scissor-like machinery to recognise the HIV virus (pictured) CRISPR technology precisely changes target parts of genetic code . Unlike other gene-silencing tools, the Crispr system targets the genome's source material and permanently turns off genes at the DNA level. The DNA cut \u2013 known as a double strand break \u2013 closely mimics the kinds of mutations that occur naturally, for instance after chronic sun exposure. But unlike UV rays that can result in genetic alterations, the Crispr system causes a mutation at a precise location in the genome. When cellular machinery repairs the DNA break, it removes a small snip of DNA. In this way, researchers can precisely turn off specific genes in the genome. 'Evolution has led to some of the most astonishing mechanisms for protecting organisms against their natural pathogens,' says Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, a professor of Salk's Gene Expression Laboratory in California. 'Understanding the immune responses by which bacteria protect themselves against viral infections has allowed us to engineer novel platforms for the targeting of devastating viruses, such as HIV, in human patients.' When a copy of the HIV virus sneaks into a human cell, it can cause havoc. It takes control of the cell's own molecular machinery to made copies of the virus's genetic material and then buries these copies in the cell's own genes. From there, the host's cell becomes an HIV factory, making new copies of the virus to spread throughout the body. Existing HIV drugs target individual steps of this lifecycle; some stop the virus from integrating into cells' DNA, for instance, while others try to stop the affected cells from producing more virus. The problem with these drugs, explains Hsin-Kai Liao, a research associate in the Izpisua Belmonte lab, is that they don't actually remove the copies of the virus that are hidden within cells' DNA. These copies can remain dormant for years and then activate again. 'Patients normally need to take drugs every day or every week for their whole lives, because of the HIV that can be latent,' says Professor Liao. 'This costs money, time and effort.' To combat this problem, the team turned to a molecular defence system called CRISPR that bacteria use to cut up foreign DNA at specified spots. Since its recent discovery, scientists have started using CRISPR to edit genes. But the researchers were also intrigued by its defensive ability and wondered if CRISPR could be programmed to slice and destroy viruses inside human cells. The new Salk study showed that the method is effective against active, full-length HIV rather than a shortened, inactive version of the virus.

A drunken former British Superbike champion who attacked his girlfriend because he didn\u2019t like the way she was eating has been jailed for three months. Sean Emmett, 45, of Molesey, Surrey, flew into a rage over the table manners of Lana Saoud, 25, after drinking eight pints of Guinness - throttling her and hitting her around the face. Blood was found all over the room where the 45-year-old motorcyclist and his partner of two years Miss Saoud were staying following the attack, Guildford Magistrates\u2019 Court was told. A judge was told father-of-three Emmett lost his temper after the couple returned to the house where they were staying with a takeaway - and he took exception to the way she was eating. He admitted assault and was jailed for 12 weeks last Friday. Emmett's former wife Abbie died after falling to her death from a hotel while they were on their honeymoon in Dubai in 2013. At court last week, Carole Fern, prosecuting, said Emmett had calmly returned to the pub to drink more after beating up Miss Saoud. She was left in the street with a nose bleed. Ms Fern added: \u2018They were eating dinner, she was eating quickly as she was hungry. They had a difference of opinion about her manner of eating. She said he grabbed her around the neck with one hand and hit her in the face.

After one win in 12 games and only one clean sheet away from Goodison Park since September, it is becoming common to hear fans complain that the Spaniard is 'turning us into Wigan'. The statistics actually bear out their worst fears. In Martinez's last season at Wigan, he had 30 points from 30 games \u2013 and went down. Everton currently have 28 points from 28 matches.

Victor Moses (left) scored in Stoke City's 2-0 win over Everton at the Britannia Stadium on Wednesday night . The Europa League, the source of so much pride earlier in the season, is now looking like an unwanted distraction. Everton face Dynamo Kyiv at Goodison on Thursday before their now-crucial next league match against Newcastle United on Sunday. The following week they have to contend with a 3,000-mile round trip to Ukraine for the second leg.

So what has gone wrong at Everton \u2013 a club who finished fifth last season and were tipped to be fighting it out with Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool at the top.

In retrospect, Romelu Lukaku was foolish to declare he wanted to become the world's best player when he hit a purple patch on loan last season. Everton smashed their transfer record to make a \u00a328million move from Chelsea permanent in the summer, a deal that now makes Jose Mourinho look a genius. Lukaku has scored just seven Premier League goals, fewer than West Ham's Diafra Sakho who cost less than a quarter that amount. Lukaku's notorious first touch looks as if it is getting worse, not better, and he has complained Everton's style is not direct enough to get the best out of him. Romelu Lukaku declared he wanted to be the world's best player last season but he has been far from it . Martinez must be desperate to find a way to help re-find his \u00a328million centre forward's best form . Lukaku's first touch has always had a bad reputation but it has proved even more of a problem this season . MARTINEZ TOO SOFT .

Ms Trierweiler claimed she went into a severe depression over the affair between Mr Hollande and the TV actress Julie Gayet, 42, before writing a kiss-and-tell book. Yesterday she was having a coffee in a caf\u00e9 in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, where she once shared a home with her ex-boyfriend.

The multinational released macroeconomic insights into the way that people born in the 1980s and 1990s are buying houses, getting married and using phone apps . However, the firm, which had more than $34.5billion in revenue last year, took the time to condense its findings from Millenials: Coming of Age into a series of 22 cartoon characters on Twitter. Goldman Sachs, which had more than $34.5billion in revenue last year, condensed the life of many Millennials into a string of emojis . Goldman's insights put numbers to well-known trends about Millenials such as the fact that they are holding off on large purchases such as houses, are waiting to get married and buying more products online. The emoji version of a twenty- or thirty-something's life begins with a fresh-faced young boy cartoon added to a stack of books representing his education. When added together this leads to graduation, but a cancel sign next to a tie, presumably referencing graduates' increased difficulties in finding full-time employment in their fields after their studies. Instead, Millennials are met with curved arrow emoji that leads them back to their parents' houses. A series of six clocks the represent how the generation is taking longer than its forerunners to reach milestones such as getting a stable career, getting married, having kids and buying a home, the last six emoji. The tweet also used the hashtags #millennial and #economy. Other insights include the fact that younger consumers are using 'sharing economy' apps to access cars and music without buying them, according to the Goldman report. The investment banking firm released a report compiling information about the spending and lifestyle habits of those born in the 1980s and 90s . Goldman Sachs's report provided figures for the life choices of Millennials, such as waiting longer to get married and live on their own . Only 15 per cent of respondents to a survey said that they thought owning a car was 'extremely important'. Ninety-three per cent of 18 to 34-year-olds plan on owning a home someday, though the younger generation has also seen an increased number of renters. The firm found that the mean marriage age is now 30, rather than 23 for those getting married in the 1970s. A growing number of young people also define healthy living as not smoking or drinking too much, as opposed to just not falling sick. Eighty-three per cent of 12-graders in the study said they disapproved of adults smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, up 13 per cent from 1998. Some of the concepts too difficult to show in tiny picture form on Twitter.

Pietersen was axed by England in February 2014 after their Ashes whitewash defeat in Australia, but is hoping for a still unlikely international return. He confirmed, on his website kevinpietersen.com, that he has taken another key step to that end by sealing his release from the majority of his IPL contract with the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kevin Pietersen will have nine County Championship matches at the most to impress England's selectors . He's secured a released from Sunrisers Hyderabad to stake his claim for an England return in the Ashes . Pietersen said: 'My focus is now very much on the upcoming season in England, and I'm absolutely determined to score as many runs as possible.' Surrey de-registered Pietersen at the end of last season. They have nonetheless long been front-runners to re-sign him, but had no update on Tuesday to the situation as of a week ago when a spokesman said: 'We are still in discussions.' Pietersen's availability for all formats, as soon as possible, has appeared a starting point for his possible return to The Oval - and his presence at the start of the season, rather than spending six weeks at the IPL, is therefore a key development. New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves this month revived the record-breaking 34-year-old batsman's hopes of a return to the fold, contrary to the public remarks by anyone else associated with the governing body. But a pre-requisite from Graves was that Pietersen must first of all find a way back into county cricket - and then, of course, start scoring runs again. Pietersen will miss the regular season in the IPL but could be summoned for the knockout stages . Imminent Surrey signing Pietersen says he will 'do everything in my power to earn a recall' with England . Pietersen may still be recalled by the Sunrisers for just a one-week period, should they qualify for the IPL knockout stages between May 19 and May 24. That, however, ought not to be an insurmountable problem for any county interested in securing his services. He added: 'I've never made any secret of my overwhelming desire to once again represent England, and I'm going to do everything in my power to earn a recall to the international set-up. 'To once again put on that England shirt would be a privilege and an honour, but now I have to focus on performing domestically and give myself the best possible chance of meriting selection.' A statement on his website spelled out Pietersen's next move - without specifying Surrey as his immediate destination - and that he has his heart set on an England return in time for this summer's Ashes rematch, beginning in July.

+{"article": "Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt (above) said Britain would become the first country in the world with a nationwide meningitis B vaccination programme after the Government reached a deal with drug maker GlaxoSmithKline . All babies will be offered an injection against deadly meningitis B \u2013 ending a year-long delay, the Health Secretary said yesterday. The vaccine costs \u00a320 a time and is expected to be available on the NHS by the end of the year. Jeremy Hunt\u2019s announcement follows growing pressure from charities, highlighted by the Mail, which warned that children were dying and suffering devastating injuries while wrangling about the cost continued. There are around 1,870 cases of meningitis B in the country each year and it commonly affects the under-fives and teenagers. It leads to around 120 deaths and leaves another 400 with life-long disabilities including brain damage, amputations and blindness. A panel of scientific advisers had recommended in October 2013 that the vaccine should not be introduced as it was not deemed cost-effective. But ministers told the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation to carry out another assessment and this concluded last March that it should be offered. The Government then spent almost a year negotiating with drugs manufacturers trying to agree a cheaper price. On Saturday, the Mail highlighted how the jab was being denied to babies because of the cost row. Nearly 800,000 babies each year would be eligible for the jab at an average annual cost of \u00a316million. Charities estimate the NHS would spend around \u00a33million treating and caring for just one child who has survived meningitis but is left with life-long disabilities. GPs would give the injection to babies from the age of two months, with boosters at four months and 12 months. In most cases, they would have it with the five-in-one jab and the rotavirus oral vaccination. The move means the UK will be the first country in the world to offer the vaccine to all babies. Mr Hunt said: \u2018We can go ahead this year with rolling out the meningitis B vaccine and that\u2019s something families, particularly those with young children, will really welcome.\u2019 Children need three doses in the first year of life, making the maximum final bill for the 700,000 born each year in England and Wales \u00a342million. GPs are also paid a \u00a37.50 fee for each dose administered . Meningitis B can kill a healthy child within hours of the first symptoms. The disease is an infection of the meninges - the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Since the vaccine was licensed two years ago there have been 1,130 cases, of which at least 452 people died or suffered disabilities. The first symptoms usually include fever, vomiting and headaches. Others include limb pain, pale skin, neck stiffness, dislike of bright lights and confusion. It is commonly found in children under five years of age but can also affect teenagers aged 15 to 19.

Now scientists have discovered Vincent Van Gogh's masterpiece's are falling victim to the artist's choice of pigments he used in his paint. They have found that a rare mineral in an intense red-coloured paint used by the Dutch impressionist is turning white as it breaks down into flaky white crystals. Scroll down for video . The colours in Van Gogh's masterpiece Sunflowers, two versions of which are shown above on display at the National Gallery, are feared to have also changed as the yellow and red pigments have degraded over time . Samples from Van Gogh's paintings have been found to contain the lead-based mineral plumbonacrite that reacts with carbon dioxide in the air. They say this mineral is the missing link that may explain why the red lead paint, known as minimum, is turning white. Red lead is not the first pigment to be found in Van Gogh's work to be failing to stand the test of time. Researchers recently revealed that a red lake pigment he also used has been fading. This had led them to conclude that the blue irises of his Field with Irises near Arles, painted in 1888, were originally a purple colour. Curators at the Van Gogh Musuem in Amsterdam have also found that the colours in Van Gogh's Bedroom are also fading during a project to restore the painting. They found in a series of letters to his brother and sister, Van Gogh described in detail the vivid colours of his room. This allowed scientists to reconstruct how the painting would have originally looked. They found that the pale brown floor should have been a richer purple and peach colour while the blue walls were originally an orange-red and violet. Previous work by Professor Janssens has also shown that a bright yellow paint, known as chrome yellow, in Van Gogh's paintings has also been changing colour. When exposed to ultraviolet light, his team found the bright orange-yellow pigment darkened into a chocolate brown colour. He believes that Van Gogh's technique of blending white and yellow paint together may actually be to blame for the chemical reactions causing this darkening. The researchers, from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, studied microscopic paint samples taken from Van Gogh's Wheat Stack Under a Cloudy Sky, which he painted in 1889. Dr Koen Janssens, a chemist at the University of Antwerp, said their findings may explain why other paintings by Van Gogh, such as the priceless Sunflowers and The Bedroom, have faded over time. Speaking to Chemistry World, he said: 'Normally, the idea is these paintings are there for a hundred years, or 500 years, and they\u2019re static \u2013 nothing really changes.

One staffer told Page Six that Garren even claimed the salon was closed on New Year's Day because of 'electrical problems'. Although many of his former employees are angry over the surprise closure, the legendary hairstylist remains popular with high-powered Manhattanites, who are now requesting him to make house calls.

Garren, who has yet to comment about the allegations, is reportedly going to be featured in upcoming W magazine\u2019s May issue. When the news of his salon's closure first broke last January, a spokesperson for his hair care product line told Page Six that he had closed the shop because he had plans to expand his product line and that he also had plans to open a salon in Miami in 2016.

By five o\u2019clock, he must have been wondering quite what he\u2019d thrown himself back into after a rollercoaster afternoon that did nothing to soothe Coventry City\u2019s acute relegation anxieties. Mowbray had not stood on a touchline since October 19, 2013, when his Middlesbrough team were beaten 3-2 by Barnsley at Oakwell. The game has certainly not grown any kinder or more predictable in the meantime. Coventry's Jim O'Brien opens the scoring for the home side in just the fourth minute of the match .

The 51-year-old Yorkshireman, late of Hibernian, West Brom, Celtic and Teesside, spoke of restoring City\u2019s glory days when he arrived in the week.

They remain above the relegation zone - just, by a sole point - after this 3-2 defeat but the new boss will be under no illusions that this is no time for grand future plans, just steely focus and cast-iron resolve.

+{"article": "The U.S. government on Thursday asked an appeals court to lift a temporary hold on President Barack Obama's executive action to shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation, arguing it can't wait for the judge who blocked the action to make a ruling on a similar request. Justice Department attorneys filed an emergency motion with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, Louisiana, to lift a preliminary injunction issued last month by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, Texas. The injunction had been issued on the request of a coalition of 26 states that filed a lawsuit to overturn Obama's immigration plan. OFF TO COURT: President Barack Obama has responded to a Texas judge's injunction halting his immigration executive actions by demanding an appeals court overrule him . HERE COMES THE JUDGE: Federal jurist Andrew Hanen called the Obama administration on the carpet and put the brakes on the president's immigration plan . The states, led by Texas, argue that Obama's action was unconstitutional and would force them to invest more in law enforcement, health care and education. DECISION TIME: Federal Judge Priscilla Owen will likely make the call on whether to overturn Hanen, her former law school classmate . The injunction was intended to stall Obama's actions \u2013 which would spare from deportation as many as 5 million people who are in the U.S. illegally \u2013 while the lawsuit progresses through the courts. Many Republicans in Congress and states led by Republicans oppose the action, saying Obama overstepped his authority as president. Obama said he had to act because Congress has failed to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The Justice Department had asked Hanen to lift the injunction while the case was appealed to the 5th Circuit. But Hanen put that request on hold pending a hearing on March 19 to review allegations the government misled him about the implementation of part of the immigration plan. In their 21-page motion, Justice Department attorneys called the injunction 'unprecedented and wrong' and argued lifting it was crucial as the order 'irreparably interferes with (the Homeland Security Department's) ability to protect the Homeland and secure our borders.' Justice Department attorneys said that if the injunction is not lifted, it should at least apply either only to Texas or to the 26 states that sued. 'President Obama's unconstitutional use of executive power to accomplish what he couldn't do in Congress sets a dangerous precedent that threatens the fabric of our Republic,' Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement responding to the Justice Department's emergency motion. 'The state of Texas and a bipartisan coalition of 25 other states will continue to oppose the President's unilateral and lawless actions,' Paxton added. A coalition of 14 states, including California and Iowa, and the District of Columbia filed a motion on Thursday with the 5th Circuit in support of lifting the injunction. They argued the immigration actions will benefit states through increased tax revenues and improved public safety.

'This mission isn't about setting distance records, of course; it's about making scientific discoveries on Mars and inspiring future explorers to achieve even more,' said Steve Squyres, Opportunity principal investigator at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. 'Still, running a marathon on Mars feels pretty cool.' Opportunity's original three-month prime mission in 2004 yielded evidence of environments with liquid water soaking the ground and flowing on planet's surface. As the rover continued to operate far beyond expectations for its lifespan, scientists chose the rim of Endeavour Crater as a long-term destination. Since 2011, examinations of Endeavour's rim have provided information about ancient wet conditions less acidic, and more favourable for microbial life, than the environment that left clues found earlier in the mission. Earlier this year an increasing frequency of computer resets has prompted the rover team to make plans to reformat the rover's flash memory.

+{"article": "They were a species of early human thought to have roamed Europe and Asia for up to 300,000 years before finally dying out. Now scientists believe they have ruled out one of the major theories for what triggered the extinction of the Neanderthals. They have found that an enormous volcanic eruption in Italy 40,000 years ago had little impact on the species' demise. Neanderthals, shown above from the TV series Walking with Neanderthals, were already on the decline by the time of the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption in Italy 40,000 years ago caused widespread climate cooling . Although the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption was one of the largest volcanic explosions in Europe, scientists say the cooling and increased levels of acid rain that resulted from the explosive eruption would have had little impact in the areas where Neanderthals were living. They argue that Neanderthal populations had already started to decline by the time the volcano erupted and it was insufficient to trigger their extinction. 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 mounting evidence that Neanderthals were not the slow-witted and primitive creatures they are often portrayed as. Instead they say that it was likely to be competition with modern humans that led to the demise of the Neanderthals. Dr Benjamin Black, from the department of earth sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, who led the research, said: 'Radiocarbon dating has shown that at the time of the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption, anatomically modern humans had already arrived in Europe, and the range of Neanderthals had steadily diminished. 'Work at five sites in the Mediterranean indicates that anatomically modern humans were established in these locations by then as well.' Anthropologists have for decades debated the possible causes for the extinction of Neanderthals around 40,000 years ago. The species first appeared around 400,000 years ago and spread throughout much of Europe and Asia. Some scientists have suggested that the species were killed off by modern humans - Homo sapiens - as they moved out of Africa or were unable to cope changes to the climate. However, others have proposed that the explosive eruption of a volcano close to what is now modern day Naples threw millions of tonnes of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere that could have led to the final extinction of the Neanderthals. Recent research by scientists at the ANO Laboratory of Prehistory in St. Petersburg, Russia has helped support this view. This image shows the average temperature anomalies in excess of 3\u00b0C in the year following the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption alongside sites where Neanderthal and human remains", "summary": "Huge volcanic eruption has been blamed for the demise of Neanderthals . Scientists at University of California Berkeley modeled the eruption impact . They found the eruption in Italy cooled Europe's climate by 2-4 degrees C . However, researchers say there was less cooling where Neanderthals lived . This suggests the eruption did not play a role in the demise of the species .

+{"article": "The Labour leadership blocked Karie Murphy (pictured), a Unite candidate, from the Labour shortlist for the marginal seat of Halifax . The tweet about Harriet Harman from a senior unnamed official at Unite, Britain\u2019s most powerful trade union, was short and menacing: \u2018She will have to answer for her actions in due course.\u2019 The threat this week was made in response to the Labour leadership blocking Karie Murphy, a Unite candidate, from the Labour shortlist for the marginal seat of Halifax. And the reason for their fury at the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party? The list was agreed by an ad-hoc three-strong committee chaired by Harman. And that committee was given a clear instruction by Ed Miliband: block Karie Murphy at all costs. Relations between Miliband and the union were put under further strain when Linda Riordan, the retiring Halifax Labour MP, accused the party leadership of dirty tricks. She has made a formal protest to Iain McNicol, Labour\u2019s general secretary. But the heavyweight the front bench should be really worried about is Len McCluskey, the general secretary of Unite, who is enraged by the actions of Miliband and Harman. For he is the most powerful Left-wing union boss since miners\u2019 leader Arthur Scargill. The snub to flame-haired Murphy, a comprehensive school-educated NHS nurse, is deeply personal to McCluskey - who was married but is no longer with his wife. McCluskey and Murphy - who is separated from her husband - are very close friends. Indeed, some people in the Labour movement have asked - rightly or wrongly - if they are more than just friends. It\u2019s also personal for McCluskey because Harman is a member of Unite, and she presided over the blocking of their candidate. So why was the usually clueless Miliband so determined to stop Murphy? The answer is to be found far to the north of Halifax, in Falkirk, where Karie Murphy\u2019s candidacy in the Labour selection process in 2013 triggered a vote-rigging scandal so serious the police were called in by Miliband. The result then was virtual open warfare in the party. Now, the animus is erupting again. Murphy was cleared of any wrongdoing in an internal inquiry but withdrew from the selection race. In the end, the police took no action over allegations the union had packed the local party with its own supporters, and even signed people up to vote for her without their knowledge. But the damage was done, and her Parliamentary ambitions were thwarted. After the Falkirk row, Miliband - who pointedly refused to apologise to Murphy \u2014 announced reforms to the party\u2019s links with the unions.

The 58-year-old adopted father is charged with sexually abusing the two girls, who were 11 and 13 at the time of the alleged ordeal. He and his 64-year-old wife are both charged with kidnapping, felonious assault and endangering children in Ashtabula County, about 50 miles east of Cleveland. The suspects are not being named, in order to protect the identities of the victims. Abuse: Between September 2011 and September 2013, two juvenile girls and a mentally handicapped adult male were locked in their bedrooms 'virtually all day every day' and abused, prosecutors say. Their adoptive parents - who are not being identified - plead not guilty Wednesday to a variety of charges . County Prosecutor Nicholas Iarocci said the couple also abused and neglected their adopted son, now 21, who is mentally disabled. Iarocci said Wednesday that the couple 'repeatedly and harshly' beat the girls and older son with a paddle that police found to be stained with blood. The three victims were given little to eat and were malnourished, Iarocci said. He called living conditions inside the home 'deplorable.' The victims were typically allowed out of their rooms for two hours a day for school lessons, to eat and to use the bathroom, Iarocci said. They were not allowed to socialize with other children in recent years, he said. Iarocci could not explain why a younger adopted son, now 13, was not abused. Indictments allege the abuse occurred over a two-year period starting in September 2011. The investigation began after the two girls managed to pick the lock on their shared bedroom - the windows of which were boarded up - and escape in August 2013, speeding away in the van before getting into an accident, Iarocci said. After telling responding officers that they feared going home, the girls reluctantly revealed their squalid living conditions. The sisters did not mention the alleged abuse until after they were charged in the accident, and then they told their probation officer, according to the prosecutor.

Since the financially struggling city broke away from the Detroit water system last year, residents have been unhappy with the smell, taste and appearance of water from the city's river as they await the completion of a pipe to Lake Huron. They also have raised health concerns, reporting rashes, hair loss and other problems. A General Motors plant stopped using the water, saying it was rusting its parts. Officials say recent state tests show the water meets federal safety guidelines, and the city will be better off free of the leviathan Detroit system once the pipeline is complete by 2016. And while many Detroit suburbs have long dreamed of breaking their dependence on the city's water, further-away Flint is the first to risk it \u2014 and test whether the potential savings are worth going it alone.

Giveway: In this Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2015 photo, Genetha Campbell carries free water being distributed at the Lincoln Park United Methodist Church in Flint . 'Unfortunately, some of our problems aren't quickly or easily solved,' said Jerry Ambrose, Flint's state-appointed emergency manager, adding that the 'challenges' resulting from the temporary reliance on the river 'were greater than we expected.' 'The potential to leave (Detroit) was well-supported by a business case, and in the long-term will benefit this region as well as the city of Flint,' Ambrose said. While there won't be 'magical reductions' in rates, he said, cost increases should be much less. Flint had long chafed at the Detroit Water & Sewerage Department's rising prices. Flint officials estimated the cost of buying water from Detroit this year at $16 million, and the overall annual cost of switching to the new Karegnondi Water Authority would be $12.5 million. Still, the long-discussed divorce has brought real and figurative headaches. Tests released last week show the water is safe, but complaints from residents persist. They say the water looks brown or rusty, and tastes and smells of chlorine. People have protested at council meetings, held community hearings, hosted water giveaways and marched through downtown. Facebook pages have been forums for complaints and concerns. Last month, the county started distributing bottled water to about 1,300 preschool students and a children's museum recently blocked access to water fountains, citing Safe Drinking Water Act violations because of high levels of a disinfectant byproduct. High bacteria levels forced boil-water advisories last year.

He was also officially crowned the world\u2019s best player, above Messi, for 2014. But here\u2019s the bad news, Cristiano. Despite the gongs and the widely-held opinion that Ronaldo was superior to his great rival over the past two years, Messi still contributed more valuable goals to his club and country in 2013 and 2014. That is the view of the number-crunchers at The Economist, who have calculated the worth of each player's goals, based on how crucial the goal was to the match result (and the subsequent gains from that result), as well as the importance of the game. Lionel Messi (left) and Cristiano Ronaldo (right) in action during last Sunday's El Clasico duel . Messi's Barcelona beat Ronaldo's Real Madrid 2-1 at the Nou Camp, with the Portuguese scoring . The explanations of the precise formulas used and the value of certain matches in relation to others are both long and complicated, so to read them in full click here. Sportsmail\u2019s calculator also seems to be broken, so again to see the full numbers, let The Economists\u2019s boffins guide you through. Be warned, though: the introduction contains a reference to 'The Pythagorean Formula Extended for Soccer', so it\u2019s not for the faint-hearted. But the key facts are these. Messi\u2019s (still fantastic) total of 86 goals over the period does not compare with Ronaldo's superhuman 105. Ronaldo shed tears of joy when he won the Ballon d'Or over Messi in 2013 . The Real Madrid hero stripped off to celebrate his goal in the Champions League final last season . But Ronaldo's penalty against Atletico Madrid was virtually worthless, according to The Economist . Each of Ronaldo\u2019s 105 goals, however, were worth an average of 0.40 points to his team in relation to the most likely result of the match before the goal was scored. By contrast, Messi\u2019s 86 goals were worth an average of 0.47 points each. And if that sounds like gobbledegook, essentially this can be explained in simple terms: a goal in a match where the score is tied 1-1 in the final minutes yields more points (or aggregate value in cup ties) to his team than a goal scored in a match where the player's team is already winning 3-1. The Economist uses Ronaldo\u2019s three goals in the semi-final and final of last year\u2019s Champions League as an example to show their relative lack of value. In the second leg of the semi-final against Bayern Munich, Ronaldo scored when Real led 3-0 and 4-0 on aggregate. And in the final against Atletico Madrid, his penalty in extra-time when Madrid were 3-1 ahead had a virtually negligible value.

The man who stood as UCI president between 1991 and 2005, and remains in a senior position in the organisation as well as an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee, was accused of being complicit in one of the biggest cover-ups in sporting history in an independent report into cycling's doping past.

'I think what they have said is a pretty accurate reflection. But there is some interpretation there. There are a whole range of contributions, some of which have been picked up by the media. For instance, one person said 90 per cent of the peloton is still doping. Others have said the problem is much much less than that. I'd like to think that it is the latter rather than the former.

For his many talents, Slade, 22, named Aviva Premiership player of the month for March, remains humble, grounded and reluctant to talk up his World Cup prospects.

Many believe he could yet prove England's missing midfield link as a physically robust, footballing 12 of enormous potential.

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\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is the first to determine just how much water Mars had in its past. During its wet Noachian period - 4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago - it is estimated that it had enough water to cover the entire surface in a liquid layer 450 feet (137 metres) deep. However, it\u2019s likely that most of the water formed an ocean that occupied the northern hemisphere of Mars, which would have been as deep as one mile (1.6km) in places - comparable to the Mediterranean Sea on Earth.

In 2008, Franky Regan Lamb faced the news that her 21-year-old son Rakeim Regan had fatally stabbed her mother, Pat Regan, in her own home, in Leeds. Scroll down for video . In a new episode of Britain's Darkest Taboos, Franky Regan Lamb has spoken out about the horrifying incident in 2008 when her son, Rakeim Regan, murdered her mother Pat . Now in a new episode of Britain's Darkest Taboos, which aired yesterday on the CI channel, Franky, her brother Shane and their friends have spoken out about the horrific incident which will haunt the family forever. Rakeim, who had become heavily involved in gang and drugs culture, killed his grandmother whilst under psychosis. His mental state seriously deteriorated after his Uncle Danny - Pat's son - had died five years earlier and he became heavily involved in the drugs scene. Rakeim had been close to his uncle and looked up to him - something that had always worried his family who felt that Danny, a notorious drug dealer, might be a bad influence on him. Danny, who mixed in such a dangerous crowd that he often wore a stab vest and carried a firearm, was shot to death in 2002, following what was thought to be an altercation about drugs. Following her son's death Pat went on to be a staunch anti-gun activist and, according to Franky, had a close relationship with Rakeim. Murdered Pat Regan (right) was an anti-gun campaigner, pictured here with fellow campaigner Michelle Forbes outside Downing Street in 2008 .

She said: 'If he was in trouble, he'd go to my mum probably more than me because my mum had probably dealt with it better. He was her grandson - they were just really close.' Despite this closeness the family began to seriously worry about Rakeim as he slipped deeper into a world of gang violence. His uncle Shane admitted: 'We had worries about him, because it seemed that he was impressed with, kind of gang culture or the big man in the area and all that kind of stuff. 'You know, there was a lot of that around us at the time and we were just, kind of like, saying, \"You don't need to be focused on that kind of stuff. You need to focus more on your education, your music\" - you know, things that are quite playful, things that are positive. 'Don't look at the negative and don't be, you know, tempted to follow that kind of lifestyle.' Sadly, there was nothing the family could do to help him and as Rakeim started to dabble more and more in drugs, his paranoia started to increase.

Scotland\u2019s highest court had twice rejected Nadine Montgomery\u2019s claim that medical negligence caused her son\u2019s physical disabilities. But in a landmark legal ruling seven judges of the Supreme Court in London upheld the 40-year-old mother\u2019s claim in what was described as \u2018the most significant medical negligence judgment in 30 years\u2019. Nadine Montgomery, whose son suffers from cerebral palsy after he was starved of oxygen during birth, argued she was not properly advised on having a Cesarean by medics at NHS Lanarkshire . Mrs Montgomery expressed delight yesterday that the care of her son, Sam, who suffers from cerebral palsy, was now guaranteed. The biologist from Cumbernauld, Lanarkshire, said: \u2018This is an enormous relief after a long legal fight, ensuring Sam receives the best care for the rest of his life.\u2019 First-time mother Mrs Montgomery gave birth to her son in Bellshill Maternity Hospital, run by NHS Lanarkshire, in October 1999. The slightly-built Type 1 diabetic claimed that during her pregnancy she expressed concerns about the birth. Shoulder dystocia occurs when a baby becomes stuck during delivery, potentially starving the infant of oxygen and leading to brain defects. It is particularly common among the children of diabetes sufferers, which are often larger than typical children. Ms Montgomery, a type 1 diabetes sufferer, said the risks of natural delivery, and the prospect of having a Cesarean, were not discussed with her. Her son, Sam, suffered from shoulder dystocia during birth, and now has cerebral palsy. It is recognised that diabetic mothers can deliver larger babies, placing them at higher risk of complications, including the possibility of \u2018shoulder dystocia\u2019 where a newborn gets stuck in the pelvis. In her case, Sam\u2019s shoulder stuck after delivery of his head. Staff released the shoulder but during a 12-minute delay he suffered oxygen deprivation. He was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy, caused by permanent brain injury at birth. Mrs Montgomery claimed that had she been advised properly, she would have opted for the alternative of a Caesarean section and Sam would have been born uninjured. But she said her obstetrician Dr Dina McLellan decided not to discuss the risks or suggest a Caesarean. At an earlier hearing, judges heard it was not Dr McLellan\u2019s \u2018practice\u2019 to discuss the potential risks of shoulder dystocia, claiming that the risk for the baby was very small, and that Caesareans were not in the \u2018maternal interests\u2019 of women. Mrs Montgomery\u2019s case for compensation had twice been rejected by the Court of Session in Edinburgh. But Lord Reed, who delivered the Supreme Court Justices\u2019 decision yesterday said: \u2018An adult person of sound mind is entitled to decide which, if any, of the available forms of treatment to undergo, and her consent must be obtained before treatment interfering with her bodily integrity is undertaken.

At Terespol station, on the border between Poland and Belarus, the woman was found by immigration officials, who immediately arrested the couple. After searching the suitcase, Polish customs spokesman Dariusz Sienicki said: 'The Russian wife of the owner of the bag was inside.' There were initial fears that she might have been kidnapped or abused in some other way, however it became clear that she was fine. Mr Sienicki added: 'She was in good shape and wasn't in need of any medical attention.'

The couple had risked a three-year jail sentence by attempting to evade border control. Mr Sienicki said: 'This was the first time I've seen someone travel like this.

+{"article": "An MI5 agent was allegedly recruited by a terrorist mastermind in Syria and sent back to Britain in a plot to launch a devastating attack against his handlers. The agent was recruited by MI5 as an undercover informant within the radical Islamic community and he then travelled to Syria where he became part of a jihadist group. But he apparently double-crossed his British handlers and returned to London with plans to launch an 'insider attack' in the capital. The Mail on Sunday has been aware of the alleged plot for more than a year but agreed to previous requests from the security services not to publish the story for 'national security' reasons. Parts of the plot were reported in a story in The Mail on Sunday last year, in which we revealed that the jihadist, who has a British passport, had plans to attack Central London and that David Cameron had been briefed about the details. This newspaper is aware of the man's identity and further details of the investigation but are not printing them for legal reasons. A long undercover operation was run by MI5 to try to identify linked individuals who might be travelling back from Syria to launch similar attacks but this investigation has now concluded, meaning we can now report the fact that he was a potential 'double agent'. The revelations come as the terror threat in the UK continues to be 'severe' but as MI5 faces difficult questions about its tactic of recruiting agents who are known Islamic extremists. Supporters of Mohammed Emwazi, the Islamic State executioner known as Jihadi John, have claimed that MI5 harassed him and similar allegations have been made by the family of Michael Adebolajo, one of the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby. The security services refuse to answer such questions because they stick by a strict policy to 'neither confirm nor deny' whether individuals have been approached or recruited \u2013 a policy they stick to even after suspects have been accused of serious crimes. However, The Mail on Sunday can disclose that the man worked for MI5 for a period before he decided to travel abroad in 2012. MI5 faces difficult questions about its tactic of recruiting agents who are known terrorists, while supporters of Mohammed Emwazi (pictured) have claimed that MI5 harassed him .

Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson said the phase out is not a reaction to the push back the chain has received over its campaign. 'Nothing is changing,' he said. 'It's all part of the cadence of the timeline we originally planned.' The campaign, announced on Tuesday, received much criticism including that it was opportunistic and inappropriate, as it came in the wake of racially charged events such as national protests over police killings of black males. Others questioned whether Starbucks workers could spark productive conversations about race while serving drinks. Scroll down for video . Standing firm: Schultz addressed the massive social media backlash during the company's annual shareholder's meeting in Seattle on Wednesday (pictured), saying: 'Our intentions are pure' In his statement on Sunday, Schultz acknowledged the naysayers and skeptics as an anticipated part of the outreach.

A domineering husband tried to murder his wife by stabbing her 15 times after she said she wanted to take up English lessons. Nazakat Ali, 30, stabbed his 27-year old partner Shahzana Kausar during a row at their home in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, after she made it clear she wanted to enrol at college to study English. Manchester Crown Court heard how he grabbed a knife and, in front of his own mother, stabbed his wife more than a dozen times as he refused to accept that she wanted to gain a 'degree of independence'. Following the attack on September 29 last year, Ali fled the scene and Ms Kausar was left lying in a pool of the blood on the floor. She was later flown to hospital where doctors carried out two emergency operations to heal stab wounds to her neck, collarbone, abdomen, ribs and a severed artery which caused her to lose one third of her body's blood. Ali has now pleaded guilty to attempted murder and has been jailed for 14 years by the judge who called him a 'dangerous man'. The court heard how the incident unfolded after Ms Kausar returned home from the Jobcentre and told her husband that she had been advised to enrol at college to improve her English. He told his mother, who was living with the couple at the property, that he was not going to allow his wife to join the course, and an argument ensued. The couple had known each other for 16 years and married in Pakistan in 2005 before moving to the UK together in 2008. Mark Kellet, prosecuting, said: 'When the defendant and Shahzana were upstairs in their bedroom, he became angry and started shouting and slapped her across the head. She asked for her mobile phone so she could contact her sister or the police, but he refused to return it. 'She left the house to walk to her sister's address but was followed by the defendant. She asked for help from a bystander but the defendant apologised and they returned home. Once they had returned home they sat in the kitchen with the defendant's mother. 'Shahzana told the defendant if he were to behave in a similar manner again, she would leave him. 'He became angry and punched her, knocking her to the floor. He picked up a knife from a kitchen drawer and repeatedly stabbed her. 'She described it as \"the way he stabbed me, it was like dying\". She begged him to stop, which he did, before running from the house.' Ali's mother provided a statement to the court which said the pair had been abusive towards each other and Ali had stabbed his wife when she ran at him.

The disclosure came when extracts of his new autobiography were printed in a German magazine. 'I had a relationship with another woman,' said Schmidt, who lost his wife Loki five years ago. Schmidt, 96, revealed his deepest personal secret in his book What I Still Want To Say, which is being serialised by the magazine Stern. He would not reveal the identity of his mistress nor how long the affair lasted. Former German Chancellor Helmut Schimdt has admitted to having an affair during his 68-year marriage to Loki (pictured, above, with her husband in 2009) sometime in the late 60s or early 70s . 'It was at the end of the 60s or the beginning of the 70s,' he said, adding that his wife found out about it. He said she realised how 'close' it was and offered to leave him. 'I told her that was a totally fallacious idea,' he added. According to Stern, the woman was a colleague in the social democrat party which he led. He remained in contact with her 'for a long while' after the break up and attended her funeral two years ago.

He won the Iron Cross for his services in WWII which included action on both the eastern and western fronts. Last year, he revealed he had stashed 38,000 menthol cigarettes in his home because of fears the EU would try to ban them. He is well known for being excused for smoking in places where it is banned.

Sir Hugh Orde, the retiring president of the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), claims the 'tipping point' between cutting resources and staff and increasing the risk to the public is close. Since 2011 the Home Office reduced the amount spent on police by 20 per cent and the Home Secretary Theresa May has said there will be further cuts if the Tories win the forthcoming election. Sir Hugh Orde, the retiring president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, warns that cuts to the police budget of 20 per cent, proposed by the Tories, will leave the public unprotected against crime and terror . One way some forces are reportedly going to try to operate on smaller budgets is by reducing the number of officers. Sir Hugh, who is due to stand down ahead of the creation of the National Police Chiefs' Council, told the Observer that taking police off the streets is a clear risk in the fight against extremism. He said: 'The critical element, it seems to me, with dealing with people who will start to behave differently in their communities is the confidence in that community to speak to the local cops. 'If the cops aren't there and that relationship has not been built we won't get the intelligence.' Asked directly whether police would have adequate resources to protect the public in the context of cuts, he said: 'In my professional judgement, the answer is no.' He added that cuts to other public services had put an increased pressure on the police, with officers having to fill in for ambulance crews and those let down by depleted mental health care. Sir Hugh, who left Acpo two weeks ago, said while it is accepted police cannot be exempt from cuts, he questioned how much more the forces can take. He added that 44 police forces is too many and collaboration is important and cited the work of Sir Stephen House, chief constable in Scotland, who has brought together eight forces, where crime is at an all-time low. Yvette Cooper MP, Labour's Shadow Home Secretary, said cuts would take spending back to 1930s levels and would sign the end of neighbourhood policing . Labour has claimed another 30,000 police officers could be lost if the Conservatives are returned to power in May. Almost 7,000 police community support officers could also be cut by 2020, Labour said, after commissioning figures from the House of Commons Library based on trends during the current Parliament. Yvette Cooper MP, Labour's Shadow Home Secretary, said: 'Conservative plans to cut spending back to 1930s levels would mean the end of neighbourhood policing. 'These figure show that under these extreme and risky Tory plans a further 30,000 police officers could be lost - the equivalent of almost the entire Metropolitan police force.

+{"article": "As the author of the modern classic A Clockwork Orange and a famously outspoken cultural pundit, he is one of the greatest names of post-war British literature. Yet Anthony Burgess has been refused a commemorative blue plaque by English Heritage because, it claims, his significance and profile are 'not strong enough' for recognition. Now the snub has been criticised by leading figures in the literary world, who insist that the author is one of the greatest writers of the 20th Century. Leading literary figures described Anthony Burgess (pictured) being snubbed for a blue plaque as 'pathetic' Malcolm McDowell starred at the lead character Alex (pictured) in Stanley Kubrick's controversial adaptation of A Clockwork Orange . Last night Burgess's biographer Roger Lewis called the decision 'pretty pathetic'. And bestselling author David Lodge, who was a friend of Burgess, said: 'Anthony was a remarkable man. He was a polymath who was extraordinarily gifted in many areas.' Burgess was nominated for a blue plaque \u2013 which are erected on buildings to recognise where famous people lived and worked \u2013 by staff at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester. They wanted it placed on a property in Glebe Street, Chiswick, West London, where the author lived between 1963 and 1968. They were confident of success as Burgess met all the criteria for the scheme \u2013 which is funded by public donations \u2013 including the stipulation that candidates must be well known and must have been dead for at least 20 years. Burgess wrote 33 novels but is best known for his 1962 dystopian work A Clockwork Orange . But on December 2 last year, English Heritage wrote to confirm the author had not been shortlisted, adding: 'The [blue plaques] panel noted his many achievements but\u2026 they felt his overall significance and profile were not yet strong enough to make a case for a blue plaque.' Documents obtained by this newspaper under freedom of information laws show the panel made its decision at a meeting on October 29. The minutes state: 'The panel agreed that Anthony Burgess was a prolific and energetic writer, but that it was too soon after his death to evaluate the merits of shortlisting.' However, members did agree that his name could be submitted for consideration again in five years rather than the usual ten. Burgess, who died in 1993, wrote 33 novels but is best known for his 1962 dystopian work A Clockwork Orange, which was turned into a controversial film by director Stanley Kubrick, with Malcolm McDowell in the leading role. Professor Andrew Biswell, who is based at the Anthony Burgess Foundation, said he hoped the panel would reconsider in light of activities planned for 2017 to mark the centenary of Burgess's birth. English Heritage confirmed a proposal to commemorate the author had been considered last October. 'The panel agreed that it was too soon after his death to arrive at a definitive assessment of his lasting reputation,' a spokesman added.", "summary": "English Heritage blasted for refusal to grant Anthony Burgess blue plaque .

A Parish councillor has won a \u00a3400 payout from Thomas Cook after booking what he thought was a 'relaxing holiday' to a Greek party island where he was housed with 'boozed up' youngsters at a Club 18-30 hotel. John Moore, 56, from Herne in Kent, planned to spend a week on the island of Zante with his partner Angela, 51, in September. Rather than the peaceful break they were hoping for, the couple, who run a sweet shop in Herne Bay, Kent, were booked into Christina Studios in the resort of Laganas in Zante, advertised as an 18-30 clubbing destination. After spending two nights in the hotel where youngsters were 'banging on the walls and screaming and shouting', the couple abandoned the package holiday for something more quiet. They have since been awarded \u00a3400 in compensation by the holiday company. While being advertised by Club 18-30, Christina Studios is described on the Thomas Cook website as 'one of the best chill-out zones' in Zante. Upon their arrival however Mr Moore found 'boozed up' youngsters who 'didn't seem to sleep'. 'When we got there I asked the rep if he really thought I would book an 18-30 holiday,' the Parish councillor said. 'When I go on holiday I don't care really where it is, I want to just have a good time but it wasn't made obvious to me that it was a holiday for young people. 'It was an official 18-30 resort. It was packed with youngsters banging on the walls and screaming and shouting, so we decided to find somewhere else more to our liking.' After complaining to the Thomas Cook rep at the resort, the couple were told in order to be relocated they would have to pay extra on top of the \u00a3600 they had already spent. They would also have no other choice but to go to another Club 18-30, said Mr Moore. 'We were just speechless really, it wasn't what we wanted or what we were expecting and Angela was horrified.' While the couple were dismayed at having to share their accommodation with 'rowdy' youngsters, they were least impressed with the owner of the hotel's treatment towards them. 'The apartments didn't have hot water but when I complained the owner used very, very rude language.' At that Mr Moore and his partner packed their things immediately and, they say, waited outside the hotel for their rep to find them new accommodation.

A former soldier who battered a seven-month-old baby so badly that its eyes rolled to the back of its head has been jailed. Paul Davies, 28, left the infant with life-changing injuries and then falsely claimed to the child's mother that it had suffered a seizure. The woman said she had trusted Davies to look after the seven-month-old and when she returned he claimed the baby had 'gone rigid' after having some milk and vomiting. Prosecuting, Tara Wolfe said: 'He said he started to become panicky. He said he tried to call 999 but his phone wasn't working.' The baby was 'pale and stiff' when paramedics arrived and rushed it to hospital where scans found bruising around the neck, a brain bleed and bleeding to both retinas. Experts told the court the brain injuries were most probably due to shaking, and that the full effects of the trauma may not be known for years. The victim's mother, who is also not being identified, told the court she had 'trusted' Davis with the baby. Davis, of Clevedon, Somerset, initially denied injuring the tot and implied it could have been forcefully treated by its mother or paramedics. But he pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm to the infant and was jailed for a 20 months at Bristol Crown Court.

Defending, Fiona Elder said: 'It was a one-off incident and a momentary loss of control.'

Plastic doll Lammily - who was created as an antidote to Barbie's super-slim frame - is being used to teach us about our bikini body obsession. The brown-haired figure confronts her fears on a trip to the beach and sees other women there with flaws and scars, making her realise that no one's perfect. Scroll down for video . In the new Lammily advert the 'average barbie' is shown with stretch marks, the ad is meant to highlight the pressures women are under to be bikini ready . Highlighting the pressures on women to look 'swimwear ready,' at all times the magazine reads, 'Are you bikini ready?' She then starts looking at her friend's Facebook page where they have posted a bikini picture with the mocking hashtags, #plasticperfection, #donthate, #thighgapclub, #bikinibody, #youknowit. In what seems to be a parody of the Victoria's Secret show - famous for its underwear clad models - two barbies then start twerking on a stage as average Barbie looks on.

In the advert Lammily is constantly faced with adverts which tell her she can lose weight quickly - the same images women see in real life . The doll is initially seen with red cheeks when she gets to the beach because she is embarrassed by her bikini body . However when she finally heads to the beach average Lammily realises that everyone there has their own issues. Some have stretch marks, others have spots and one has a scar across her stomach. The dolls creator Nickolay Lamm, a digital artist who majored in marketing at the University of Pittsburgh, said of making the ad: 'I was thinking about how Lammily, in the fashion doll world, would feel very out of place. I think one of the hardest things to do in life is to be yourself.' Lammily also looks at magazines which ask her 'Are you beach ready?' When Lammily sees the other dolls on the beach she soon realises that they all have their issues with their bodies . Lammily was first created in 2014 as the result of a crowd-funding project. Nickolay felt that there was no doll on the market that represented real women. More than 13,000 people signed up to the project with 19,000 of the dolls being pre-ordered. You can buy clothes to fit on the doll as well as stickers which show scars, stretch marks and acne just like normal women have. Nickolay, speaking in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, said: 'I\u2019m an artist, plus event planner, email checker, data entry person, graphic designer and pizza delivery driver.

We were not playing a normal team. \u2018We want to get to that level but we need to learn if we are going to be successful in the Champions League. We know we can win in Barcelona. But having an attacking mentality won\u2019t help us if we go over the top with that. Our mentality has to be right. \u2018The criticism will always come if things aren\u2019t going well.

The 78-year-old, who was jailed for life for shooting dead three unarmed officers in 1966, was released on licence from Littlehey Prison, Cambridgeshire, in November last year. After serving 48 years behind bars, the murderer has reportedly taken his new found freedom in his stride - getting the bus to the supermarket, walking in the park and visiting the gym daily. Harry Roberts (pictured left in 2009 and right in police mugshot in 1966) has changed his name and is living in a state-funded bungalow following his release from prison in November last year . The pensioner has to check in with authorities twice a day but is otherwise free to come and go as he pleases, The Sun reports. He has been seen out and about wearing a pair of sunglasses and using his pension to buy bacon and tinned peaches. A local who recognised him told the paper: 'Nobody has a clue who he is - but he looks like the cat who got the cream. 'He is wandering around completely unchecked, joking with locals who would be horrified if they knew his real identity.'

But they were cut aggressively as the global financial crisis deepened, before reaching an all-time low of 0.5 per cent on March 5, 2009.

Setting out the case for scrapping race laws, Mr Farage said: 'I think the situation that we now have, where an employer is not allowed to choose between a British-born person and somebody from Poland, is a ludicrous state of affairs. 'I think that we have taken our relationship with Europe to a level that, frankly, has gone against common sense, and certainly against self-interest. 'I would argue that the law does need changing, and that if an employer wishes to choose, or you can use the word 'discriminate' if you want to, but wishes to choose to employ a British-born person, they should be allowed to do so. 'I think you should be able to choose on the basis of nationality, yes. I do.'

+{"article": "Many parents are afflicted by 'weight-blindness', unable to recognise their child is overweight unless they are extremely obese, new research has found. The research discovered that just under a third (31 per cent) of the parents underestimated where their child's body mass index (BMI) was on obesity scale. The scale classifies children as very overweight (or obese), overweight, a healthy weight, or underweight. Many parents are afflicted by 'weight blindness', and are unable to recognise their child is overweight unless they are extremely obese, according to new research (file picture) Just four parents described their child as being very overweight despite 369 children being officially identified as such (1 per cent) and fewer than 1 per cent overestimated their child's weight status. According to official guidelines, children are classified as overweight at the 85th centile and very overweight (or obese) at the 95th centile. The team estimated that for a child with a BMI at the 98th centile there was an 80 per cent chance that the parent would classify their child as a healthy weight. Tam Fry, spokesperson for the National Obesity Forum and chair of the Child Growth Forum said: \u2018Because there are so many overweight and obese children around, the parents are in denial. 'They say \u201cmy Jonny is no fatter than the child down the road\u201d. 'My advice would be that if any parent is concerned about their child\u2019s weight, they should take the child to the doctor or chemist. \u2018Think of an excuse to go down. Have the doctor or chemist take the BMI. 'When they have the result they can reassure the parent, or give them advice on whether the child\u2019s weight is too high. \u2018BMI is a very good measure, but it needs input from a health professional who can look at the child holistically and judge whether there is a problem or not. \u2018Parents will not be able to measure their child accurately as they won't have the correct measurements for height and for weight bathroom scales are notoriously inaccurate. \u2018They need to be properly measured by a professional who can make a proper judgement and give proper advice. \u2018You cannot tell if a child is overweight or obese on one measure. 'You need to look at the child\u2019s BMI and ideally plot this against their BMI three months ago.' However, they recognised that parents became more likely to classify their child as overweight when the child had a BMI above the 99.7th centile. The study found that parents were more likely to underestimate their child's weight if they were black or south Asian, from more deprived backgrounds, or if the child was male. Researchers suggested that if parents cannot identify when their child is overweight, this throws into question the effectiveness of public health campaigns aiming to address obesity in the home. Recent research found that a third of children in England are now classed as overweight or obese. Parents might underestimate their children's weight due to be fear of being judged, unwillingness to label a child as overweight, and shifting perceptions of", "summary": "A third of parents underestimated their child's body mass index (BMI) Just 1% of parents of obese children identified their child as overweight .

The average profit that energy firms are making from customers has surged to an all-time high of \u00a3118 a household. This is up by a third on last year and well over double the \u00a349 the companies were making two years ago. The rise is a direct result of firms failing to pass on a sharp fall in the wholesale price they pay for gas and electricity. The industry regulator Ofgem estimates that the average wholesale cost of gas and electricity is down from \u00a3633 per household a year ago to \u00a3553 \u2013 an \u00a380 drop. But its figures for household dual-fuel bills show a lower fall of \u00a360, taking them to an average of \u00a31,295 a year \u2013 of which nearly 10 per cent is profit. The Big Six firms \u2013 British Gas, SSE, Npower, E.on, EDF and Scottish Power \u2013 have been able to cash in by keeping their tariffs high during winter. They have announced small reductions of around 5 per cent or less, but this will make little difference to household bills.

Ryptide is a lifeguard drone that can carry an inflatable life ring to a swimmer in under a minute, according to the developers. The system uses a specially adapted carrying device that can rush a life ring out over the water and drop it close to a swimmer in distress. Scroll down for video . The Ryptide drone (above) delivers a life ring that automatically inflates in the water to help swimmers in trouble. The device is being built by students at a school in Stamford, Connecticut . The rings are designed to automatically inflate as soon as they hit the water, helping swimmers to stay afloat until rescuers arrive. The engineers behind the project, who are based in Stamford, Connecticut, say the drone would be particularly useful for helping swimmers who stray into rip tide currents. Drones could prove invaluable in search and rescue operations as well as disaster scenarios where it is dangerous for relief workers to enter buildings. But currently quadcopters risk injuring humans with their blades and break easily upon light collisions because of their delicate, exposed parts. Now engineers have created the \u2018world\u2019s first collision-proof drone\u2019 that has a spherical 'rollcage', meaning it can bounce around buildings like a ball. The Gimball drone uses obstacles to find its way around buildings, instead of avoiding them, so it could roll along a row of windows before locating an opening. Scientists from Switzerland\u2019s Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne have won $1 million in a drone competition sponsored by the United Arab Emirates. \u2018Gimball can safely fly indoors and in complex environments, is easy to fly, and can be operated close to humans,\u2019 they claim on their website. Lifeguards rescue more than 10,000 swimmers from rip tide currents - strong currents of water that can drag swimmers out to sea. However they often carry a great deal of danger for the lifeguards themselves and account for 80 per cent of rescues they perform. Bill Piedra, a teacher at King Low Heywood Thomas school in Stamford and founder of Flying Robots LLC, began developing the Ryptide system with students in 2014. He said: 'Ryptide is a life saving drone accessory that can carry an automatically inflating life ring to a swimmer in distress in less than 30 seconds. 'The system can be attached to any drone capable of carrying a GoPro camera and brushless gimbal.' Mr Piedra and his team already have a working prototype of their system and are now running a crowdfunding campaign in an attempt to build commercial products. They say the final model of Ryptide will be able to carry up to four inflatable rings that can be dropped one at a time at the press of a button.

Researchers analysing elephant remains in Israel have discovered signs of animal residue on primitive tools called 'handaxes and scrapers' alongside cut marks in the remains themselves. And by replicating the flint tools for a modern butchering experiment they said the 'handaxe was prehistoric man's 'Swiss army knife' - capable of breaking down bone, sinew and hide. Researchers analysing elephant remains (rib pictured) in Israel have discovered signs of animal residue on primitive tools called 'handaxes and scrapers' alongside cut marks in the remains themselves. This analysis is said to be the first time proof of prehistoric butchery has been scientifically verified . The slimmer, more delicate scraper was then used to separate fur and animal fat from muscle tissue. The tools and remains were discovered at a Lower Paleolithic site in Revadim, Israel, by Professor Ran Barkai, Natasha Solodenko and Andrea Zupanchich from Tel Aviv University's Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures. The team used a process called 'use-wear analysis' which involves examining the surfaces and edges of the tools to determine their function. The researchers studied three tools found in the Revadim quarry in Israel - a flake, biface or 'handaxe' and scraper. No use-traces or identifiable residue was found on the flake. The biface and scraper both revealed 'well preserved and clear use-wear traces'. The biface use traces indicate the processing of 'medium-hard material' believed to be evidence of hide scraping. The scraper instead featured traces of 'soft or medium material'. This is believed to be animal tissue. Both tools showed residue of adipocere, or animal fat and on the scraper, both tissues and vegetable residues were found. It also used so-called Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) residue analysis to identify organic residue. FTIR uses infrared to identify bio-signatures of prehistoric compounds. From this, the researchers were able to demonstrate for the first time direct proof of animal exploitation by flint tools. 'There are three parts to this puzzle: the expansion of the human brain, the shift to meat consumption, and the ability to develop sophisticated technology to meet the new biological demands,' Professor Barkai said. 'The invention of stone technology was a major breakthrough in human evolution.' Fracturing rocks in order to butcher and cut animal meat is said to represent a key biological and cultural milestone. 'At the Revadim quarry we found butchered animal remains, including an elephant rib bone which had been neatly cut by a stone tool, alongside flint handaxes and scrapers still retaining animal fat,' continued Professor Barkai.

Another reason for the decision, company President Kenneth Feld said, was that certain cities and counties have passed 'anti-circus' and 'anti-elephant' ordinances. The company's three shows visit 115 cities throughout the year, and Feld said it's expensive to fight legislation in each jurisdiction. It's also difficult to plan tours amid constantly changing regulations, he said.

'We're not reacting to our critics; we're creating the greatest resource for the preservation of the Asian elephant.' The circus will continue to use other animals - this year it added a Mongolian troupe of camel stunt riders to its Circus Xtreme show and it will likely showcase more motorsports, daredevils and feats of humans' physical capabilities.

Carlo Ancelotti's men have come under fierce criticism after squandering their lead at the top of La Liga, with Marca's front page on Sunday referring to the situation as a 'pressure cooker'. Levante are the visitors to the Bernabeu, in what AS have described as a 'trial run' for next week's El Clasico. The match at the Nou Camp on March 22 will go a long way to deciding this season's La Liga champions, and Ancelotti will be desperate to reclaim Madrid's spot at the top of the table.

Madrid face Levante at the Bernabeu on Sunday night, while Barcelona beat Eibar 2-0 on Saturday . There will be changes in the starting line-up for the Levante clash, the Spanish papers claim, with Keylor Navas expected to get the nod ahead of Iker Casillas.

Marca carry a quote from Madrid boss Ancelotti, who has stated that his team are 'hurt, but won't let our heads drop'. Barcelona continued their good form on Saturday, comfortably beating Eibar 2-0. The win means that they have extended their lead at the top to four points - and it is up to Madrid to close the gap with victory on Sunday.

Morata scored the winning goal, and Tuttosport's headline (left) reads: 'Borussia, we're coming' Mundo Deportivo's front page hails the 'solid leaders', who came through the game ahead of a decisive week against Manchester City and then Real Madrid. They write that Lionel Messi was once again decisive, scoring both of his side's goals, one from the penalty spot and the other a 'great header'. Messi has taken his tally to 32 league goals for the season, overtaking rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the process. In Italy, much of the focus is on Juventus ahead of their Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Isabella Bird turned to writing as a way to make money for her and her unmarried sister . Born in 1831 the daughter of a clergyman, as Ireland writes: 'The adventuress who travelled and rode in all weathers, exploring remote and dangerous regions, was writing about a life in sharp contrast to the one originally envisaged for her.' The intrepid Yorkshire woman started writing in 1854 when she travelled to America to mend a broken heart. But it wasn't until 1875 that she found fame with an account of her experiences in Hawaii. Bird was on her way home from an ill-fated trip to Australia when she fell in love with the islands.

The White House fired back hours later, calling Pence a 'previously defiant governor' who has suddenly decided 'to consider a position of changing the law' amid a 'bipartisan and even nonpolitical outcry.' Pence told reporters he has been meeting with lawmakers 'around the clock' to address concerns that the law will allow businesses to deny services to gays and lesbians. 'After much reflection and in consultation with the leadership of the general assembly,' he told reporters during a press conference, 'I've come to the conclusion that it would be helpful to move legislation this week that makes it clear that this law does not give businesses a right to deny services to anyone.' Scroll down for video . Indiana Gov. Mike Pence now says he wants changes to a religious-freedom law he signed just days ago, as criticism mounts from gay rights groups . Protests have swirled around Indianapolis since the law took effect, with activists insisting it's a license to discriminate against gays and lesbians . White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest unleashed a biting attack on Indiana lawmakers near the beginning of his briefing on Tuesday. 'This piece of legislation flies in the face of the kinds of values that people all across the country strongly support,' he said. That, Earnest claimed, is why 'we've seen the governor and other Indiana officials in damage-control mode here.' The law Pence signed last week prohibits state laws that 'substantially burden' a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of 'person' includes religious institutions, businesses and associations. Pence says the law has been 'grossly mischaracterized' and has put Indiana under a harsh glare \u2013 resulting in a 'perception problem' that he has to address. 'I don't believe for a minute that it was the intent of the General Assembly to create a license to discriminate,' he said. 'It certainly wasn't my intent.' But, Pence said, he 'can appreciate that that's become the perception, not just here in Indiana but all across the country. We need to confront that.' Supporters of the measure say it protects their ability to exercise their religious beliefs without shelving them when they enter the business marketplace. Opponents insist it gives Indiana residents and companies a legal loophole if they want to discriminate against gays and lesbians. The legal language itself doesn't specifically mention gays or lesbians . But the central controversy surrounding the law concerns whether or not Christians who run photography, catering or florist businesses should be allowed to refuse service to people who are planning same-sex weddings. Businesses and organizations including the NCAA \u2013 whose iconic 'Final Four' basketball tournament comes to Indianapolis this week \u2013 have voiced concern over the effect of the law, and some states have barred government-funded travel to Indiana.

Caretaker boss Kenny McDowall, who handed in his notice in January, is not expected to play any role in the new first-team coaching set-up. Stuart McCall is a former manager of Motherwell and played for Rangers for seven years . That could open the way for McCall to bring in Kenny Black, his assistant during a successful stint in charge at Motherwell. McDowall admitted after Tuesday\u2019s 1-1 draw with Queen of the South that there was now a danger of Rangers missing out on the play-offs altogether if they didn\u2019t find form. They have won just one of their last seven matches, dropping to third place in the table behind Hibs. That dismal sequence convinced Dave King and the new Ibrox board that they had to act, with McCall approached to see if he would be willing to agree a short-term contract. An extended deal contingent upon winning promotion could also be a possibility following a day of discussions. No official confirmation on McCall\u2019s appointment was forthcoming from Rangers on Wednesday night but that is expected to follow on Thursday. McCall achieved back-back top-flight finishes during his time at Fir Park . It is also understood the players were told to report back to Murray Park early on Friday morning \u2013 after a day off \u2013 in preparation for meeting their new boss. McCall, who won six league titles in seven years as a Rangers midfielder, has been out of work since resigning at Fir Park last November after a slump in form. However, his overall record in Lanarkshire was hugely impressive, including back-to-back second-place finishes and a Scottish Cup final. The 50-year-old is also currently a member of Gordon Strachan\u2019s Scotland backroom staff but admitted last month it may be an \u2018impossibility\u2019 to combine that role with managing a club of Rangers\u2019 size. King flew back to South Africa via Heathrow on Wednesday, admitting in an interview en route that \u2018the playing side is in need of a huge injection of energy\u2019. He also added that the new regime would do \u2018whatever it takes to give the club the best chance of promotion this season\u2019. McCall is the man they have turned to for that purpose, with Saturday\u2019s home game against Livingston set to open his tenure. Gordon Strachan has also used McCall as part of his coaching set-up with the Scotland national team . Dave King seized control of Rangers after a landslide victory at the club's most recent EGM . Speaking last week, Rangers midfielder and ex-Motherwell player Nicky Law welcomed the prospect of a McCall appointment. \u2018For me personally, it would be great,\u2019 said Law. \u2018Not just for me, but for the club as well. \u2018He\u2019s a legend here and he knows about the club and the", "summary": "Rangers have not yet clarified the position of Kenny McDowall .

Born free: England's first wild beavers (pictured paddling away after being released) for 800 years were last night released back onto the River Otter in Devon, after passing vital health tests . Devon Wildlife Trust officials, who will monitor the animals in a five-year pilot project, last night said they were delighted the beavers were back on the river. Ministers had initially wanted the remarkable animals to be rounded up and put in a zoo or even culled after they were first spotted in late 2013.

These in turn act as protection against predators - their 'lodges' are often in the middle of these deep ponds - and to provide easy access to food during winter. Dams typically range in size from a few feet to more than 300ft wide, although one was once recorded as spanning 2,800ft.

+{"article": "Babies conceived through IVF may be twice as likely to develop autism, according to new research. Children conceived using assisted reproductive technology were more likely to develop autism than babies conceived naturally. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) includes any type of fertility treatment where the egg and the sperm are handled outside of the body, including IVF, artificial insemination and surrogacy. During IVF - the most popular ART treatment - more than one egg is harvested and fertilised, which can lead to multiple births. Babies conceived through IVF (pictured) are more likely to develop autism than those conceived naturally, a study found. But this could be due to the complications of IVF, such as multiple births . Researchers explained they found an association between IVF and autism - but they did not prove that the treatment cause the disorder, according to HealthDay news. The higher risk of the disorder could be explained by factors such as multiple births and other risks associated with IVF, not the treatment itself, they said. After taking into account factors such as the mother's education and multiple births, researchers found the increased risk was only seen for mothers under 35 years old. And they found there was no extra risk of autism for women who gave birth to one child. This means IVF using a single-egg transfer rather than multiple eggs lowers the chance of a baby developing autism, experts said. The study involved nearly six million children born from 1997 to 2007. The team, led by Peter Bearman, a professor of social sciences at Columbia University in New York City, collected data on 5.9 million California births, including 48,865 infants conceived through assisted reproduction, and 32,922 children with autism. Autism is mainly caused by a child\u2019s genes, a major study of British twins has found. Scientists said that, in the average boy or girl with autism, genetics explain up to 98 per cent of the illness. The research, by King\u2019s College London, found the condition is highly inheritable. Controversial research linking autism with the MMR jab has been widely discredited, but more recent concern has focused on the condition being fuelled by environmental factors such as pollution. With cases of autism much more common today than in the past, many fear it is also being caused by modern lifestyles. But the researchers said their study suggested that lifestyle and environmental factors were a distant second to genetics. They compared the incidence of autism in births that involved advanced infertility treatment such as IVF and those that didn't. Professor Bearman said this was the largest study looking at this relationship that has ever been carried out. The results are not a condemnation of IVF technology, as the study did not prove a cause-and-effect link, he said. He added: 'There is an association between IVF and autism, but when we control for the characteristics of women who are more likely to use IVF, for example, age and social status, this association is lessened significantly,' The remaining increased risk is due to factors such as multiple births and complications of", "summary": "Children conceived using infertility treatments were more likely to develop autism than children conceived naturally, Columbia University study found .

The police watchdog is to examine claims that a paedophile sergeant ordered a junior officer not to tell anyone after catching Cyril Smith at a sex party with two boys. The account of the officer, then a young beat bobby but now retired, that he was threatened with the Official Secrets Act after he found the 29-stone Liberal MP at the home of a known sex offender in 1988 was the latest piece of evidence of an Establishment cover-up of Smith\u2019s decades of abuse. Yesterday the Independent Police Complaints Commission ( IPCC) announced it would be overseeing the investigation into the unnamed ex-officer\u2019s claims. He came forward earlier this month to describe how as a probationary officer he discovered Smith at the party with a prolific sex offender and two drunk teenage boys in Stockport. Smith and another officer in civilian clothes who was also present walked off, he said, while one boy left and the other was taken back to his children\u2019s home. He claimed that the following day he was called to a meeting by a senior officer and Sergeant Don Mackintosh and told he would be breaching the Official Secrets Act if he ever told anyone. \u2018In no uncertain terms I was told to say nothing,\u2019 he said. \u2018They knew Smith was there and knew who he was.\u2019 Mackintosh was later exposed as a prolific abuser of young boys over more than a decade.

The twelve Ferguson grand jurors were denied the opportunity to speak by St. Louis County Circuit Court Judge Carolyn Whittington, according to court documents filed on Friday. The documents surfaced during the ongoing lawsuit involving a member of the grand jury, who filed a memorandum earlier this month fighting to speak publicly about the controversial case. The unnamed juror, referenced as Grand Juror Doe, has claimed attorney Robert McCulloch, who prosecuted the case, lied to the public. Scroll down for video . A week before the verdict was announced in the case of the shooting death of Michael Brown, Judge Carolyn Whittington (left) wrote a letter to attorney Robert McCulloch (right), denying the grand jury's request to make a public statement .

In the letter she wrote: 'The Supreme Court has stated that the power of a grand jury to investigate and inquire is limited to finding or returning indictments.

The grand jury sat for three months hearing evidence and a verdict was released on November 24, 2014 not indicting Darren Wilson (above) for the shooting death of Michael Brown . In a memorandum filed last month by the juror, he claims McCulloch presented evidence over the course of the trial that suggested Brown (above) was the aggressor and Wilson did nothing wrong . Judge Whittington continued: 'The Supreme Court has spoken on the issue of the power of the grand jury. 'I do not believe there is authority for the Grand Jury to make a statement and request that you inform the Grand Jury that it must be guided by the ruling of the Supreme Court.' In the documents filed on Friday, McCulloch states his argument in support of reasons for the dismissal of the case involving the grand juror. He wrote that despite having been duly sworn and sworn to secrecy twice, the juror now 'claims it is intolerable that he should be held to his oath or made to abide by his charge'. Under Missouri law, it is a misdemeanor for a juror to disclose information regarding the case.

In reality, only few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there were only 42 people known to be that old in the entire world. But Social Security does not have death records for millions of these people, with the oldest born in 1869, according to a report by the agency's inspector general. Only 13 of the people are still getting Social Security benefits, the report said. But for others, their Social Security numbers are still active, so a number could be used to report wages, open bank accounts, obtain credit cards or claim fraudulent tax refunds. 'That is a real problem,' said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. Ripe old age: Social security has not updated the deaths of 6.5 million people, new data has shown, meaning all those social security numbers remain active. Seen here is Gertrude Weaver on her 116th birthday last year. She is the oldest known person in the United States . 'When you have a fake Social Security number, that's what allows you to fraudulently do all kinds things, claim things like the earned income tax credit or other tax benefits.' Johnson is chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which plans a hearing Monday on problems with death records maintained by the Social Security Administration. The agency said it is working to improve the accuracy of its death records. But it would be costly and time-consuming to update 6.5 million files that were generated decades ago, when the agency used paper records, said Sean Brune, a senior adviser to the agency's deputy commissioner for budget, finance, quality and management. 'The records in this review are extremely old, decades-old, and unreliable,' Brune said. The internal watchdog's report does not document any fraudulent or improper payments to people using these Social Security numbers. But it raises red flags that it could be happening. For example, nearly 67,000 of the Social Security numbers were used to report more than $3 billion in wages, tips and self-employment income from 2006 to 2011, according to the report. One Social Security number was used 613 different times. An additional 194 numbers were used at least 50 times each. People in the country illegally often use fake or stolen Social Security numbers to get jobs and report wages, as do other people who do not want to be found by the government. Thieves use stolen Social Security numbers to claim fraudulent tax refunds. The IRS estimated it paid out $5.8 billion in fraudulent tax refunds in 2013 because of identity theft. The head of the Justice Department's tax division described how it's done at a recent congressional hearing. Problem: Social Security does not have death records for millions of people with birth dates stretching back as far as 1869.

Last week Mr Cameron vowed to serve 'every day' of a second term if he is re-elected on May 7, right up to the next election at the end of the decade. But Mr Duncan Smith, himself a former leader, today insisted that Mr Cameron will have to stand before that to allow time for his successor to be chosen. Scroll down for video . Iain Duncan Smith, himself a former leader, today insisted that Mr Cameron will have to stand before that to allow time for his successor to be chosen . Mr Cameron stunned the Tory party with his dramatic revelation that he would not seek a third term. The remarks triggered the start of an unofficial Tory leadership race, after he also tipped Boris Johnson, George Osborne and Theresa May as potential successors. The Tory leader joked: 'Terms are like shredded wheat : two are wonderful but three might just be too many.' The admission, in an interview with the BBC, caused dismay in large parts of the Tory party because it distracted from the party's core election message on the economy, and over-shadowed last week's news that inflation had fallen to zero per cent. Mr Cameron defended his remarks, insisting he was 'just giving an honest answer to an honest question'. Challenged on the Sky News/Channel 4 election debate, he insisted: 'If you vote Conservative I've said I will serve every day of a full second term.' But at the very least he would need to stand aside several months before May 2020 to give his successor time to prepare for the general election. There has been speculation that Mr Cameron could quit after his promised 2017 referendum on leaving the EU, whatever the outcome. Mr Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show the PM would choose the timing of his departure and he would be 'sorry to see him go'.

It was previously believed that the Jewish teenager, who was sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, died of typhus on 31 March 1945, two weeks before the camp was liberated. However a new study puts the date of her death at some point in mid February, meaning that even if British troops had reached the camp a little sooner, she would likely not have survived. Scroll down for video . Anne Frank (pictured) likely died of typhus inside the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in mid February 1945, a study has shown, not on March 31 as previously thought . Anne's diary, which documents how her family went into hiding from the Nazis in the Netherlands during the Second World War, became a bestseller when it was published after then end of the war. The book documents how Anne, her sister Margot and her family went into hiding in a canal house, but were eventually betrayed and sent to Bergen-Belsen, where she and her sister perished. Anne Frank wrote her diary while in hiding from Nazi persecution during World War II. By 1940 the Nazis had occupied the Netherlands, leaving the family trapped. In 1942 the family went into hiding in secret rooms of Otto Frank's office building. But after two years the group were anonymously betrayed and were sent to their deaths at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where Anne died of typhus in 1945. Otto Frank, Anne's father, returned to Amsterdam after the war and discovered her diary had been saved. It was published in 1947, leading to her posthumous fame. After the war the Dutch government set the official date of her death as March 31, based on survivors accounts stating that the girls died sometime in March. Because the Allies liberated the camp on April 15, this added a bitter twist to her tale - the thought that if she could have hung on a few weeks longer she might have been saved. However, Erika Prins, a researcher at the Anne Frank House museum, has now revised that date having studied witness accounts, archives, and conducted at least one new interview. Ms Prins said she now believes that Anne and her sister began exhibiting symptoms of typhus at the beginning of February. According to Dutch health authorities, most patients do not live for more than 12 days after that. 'In view of this, the date of their death is more likely to be sometime in February. The exact date is unknown,' the study says. Ms Prins added: 'It was horrible. It was terrible. And it still is. But when you say they died at the end of March, it gives you a feeling that they died just before liberation. Bergen-Belsen was liberated in April 1945, meaning if Anne died in March, then she was two weeks from rescue.

A married mother-of-five was stabbed to death in a field as she tended to her horses because the son of her former partner paid to have her 'silenced', a court heard today. Ben Carr, 22, had 'lasting hate and anger' towards Pennie Davis because she had repeatedly accused him of historical sexual offences, it was claimed. Mrs Davis, 47, who worked at a supermarket, was found dead by her husband on September 2 in a field at Leygreen Farm, Beaulieu, Hampshire. Justin Robertson, 36, of no fixed address, who denies murder and conspiracy to murder, was traced by police after he dropped a set of car keys at the murder scene, Winchester Crown Court was told. Benjamin Carr, 22, of Edward Road, Southampton, and Samantha Maclean, 28, of Beech Crescent, Hythe, are also charged with conspiracy to murder, which they deny. Richard Smith QC, prosecuting, said: 'Penelope Davis went to tend her horses in a field at a farm near Beaulieu on the edge of the New Forest. 'Whilst there and alone in a small paddock within the horse field, she was attacked and repeatedly stabbed by the defendant, Justin Robertson. 'Penelope's body was found later that same afternoon lying in the field by her husband, Peter Davis, who had left work and come to give her a hand with the horses. 'They had only been married for a matter of months.' He continued: 'The defendant, Justin Robertson, had agreed to kill Penelope Davis for money. He had agreed to kill her for the defendant Ben Carr. It was he, Ben Carr, who had the plan, Robertson and Carr carried out that plan to kill Penelope Davis with the help of their fellow defendant Samantha Maclean.' Mr Smith said Carr had wanted Mrs Davis 'silenced' because he believed she would make an allegation to police that he had indecently assaulted someone, a complaint she had previously made. He said: 'Why would Ben Carr want Penelope Davis killed? The answer to that question, which will remain at the heart of this trial, probably lies in the fact that Ben Carr believed that Mrs Davis was going to go to the police, as she had done before, and allege that he had previously indecently assaulted (someone). 'It was for that reason, principally it seems, that Ben Carr wanted Penelope Davis silenced, so he recruited others to help him.' Mr Smith said Mrs Davis knew Carr because she had been in a relationship with his father Timothy from about 2006 to 2012. He said Ben Carr had a 'lasting hate and anger' towards Mrs Davis after she made a complaint to police about the allegations of sexual assault against him when he was 14.

Her family members told of their shock, having seen Ms Darnell enjoying herself only hours earlier at the wedding in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey. Her father David told the coroner: 'She was the life and soul. She got everybody up and dancing, which is no mean feat. She was getting everyone involved.' Her aunt, Jacqueline Nash, said Rebecca was a 'happy, bubbly' person, who had recently organised her sister's Joanna's hen party and was excited to see her get married to fianc\u00e9 Matt Wilson.

Mr Salamone said his partner had been 'very happy' on the day of the wedding, on November 8 2013, and, although she had drunk vodka and cola, had not seemed excessively drunk. Taxi driver Khalik Meah said the couple had been arguing when he gave them a lift back from the party some time after midnight.

But the two, who are understood to have been close before Merah's 30-hour stand-off with French special forces ended in his death, are among a number of extremists radicalised within the same family.

'Oh Jews, indeed Allah has gifted us with killing your followers in your own stronghold in France,' says the man.

They may be your pride and joy \u2013 but telling your child they are special gives them an inflated view of themselves. And parents who \u2018overvalue\u2019 their children risk creating arrogant, narcissistic adults, according to scientists. A psychological study found that instead of telling children they are better than others, parents should tell them they are as good as anyone else. The research, which tracked participants for 18 months, suggests there is a fine line between self-esteem and narcissism. Children who are repeatedly told they are special go on to have an inflated view of themselves, whereas those who are simply told they are loved tend to be confident and well-rounded. The difference is a child who thinks they are as good as others \u2013 and one who thinks they are better than others and entitled to special treatment. However, narcissistic children still have lower self-esteem than their more modest playmates. The study of 565 Dutch children aged seven to 11 was carried out in a joint project by the University of Amsterdam and Ohio State University. Interviewed four times, parents were asked about their relationship and conversations with their child, and the child was asked how they viewed themselves and others. Lead researcher Dr Eddie Brummelman, from the University of Amsterdam, said: \u2018Rather than raising self-esteem, overvaluing practices may inadvertently raise levels of narcissism.\u2019 Professor Brad Bushman of Ohio State University added: \u2018Children believe it when their parents tell them that they are more special than others. That may not be good for them or for society. People with high self-esteem think they\u2019re as good as others, whereas narcissists think they\u2019re better than others.\u2019 The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that children who were repeatedly told they were special tended to think less of others \u2013 but did not necessarily have higher self-esteem. In contrast, children whose parents showed them more emotional warmth had higher levels of self-esteem. Professor Bushman said: \u2018Overvaluation predicted narcissism, not self-esteem, whereas warmth predicted self-esteem, not narcissism.\u2019 The research, which tracked participants for 18 months, suggests there is a fine line between self-esteem and narcissism . The psychologist, a father of three, said his research had changed his own parenting style. \u2018When I first started doing this research in the 1990s, I used to think my children should be treated like they were extra-special,\u2019 he said. \u2018I\u2019m careful not to do that now. \u2018It is important to express warmth to your children because that may promote self-esteem, but overvaluing them may promote higher narcissism.\u2019 Dr Brummelman suggested that parents could be taught to express affection without telling their children they are superior to others. \u2018Future studies should test whether this can work,\u2019 he said.", "summary": "Parents who \u2018overvalue\u2019 children risk creating arrogant, narcissistic adults .

Rogue data firms were warned by David Cameron last night that they could face serious penalties after the Mail exposed an astonishing trade in private information. The Prime Minister led furious calls for any companies found guilty of selling personal data without consent to face the toughest consequences. He suggested the law would be tightened if loopholes are being exploited by unscrupulous cold callers. His comments came as charities for the elderly, politicians and campaigners called for an urgent crackdown and said there should be lengthy jail sentences for the worst offenders. The Information Commissioner said data firms could face fines of \u00a3500,000 and warned that those breaking the law \u2018are in deep trouble\u2019. The Mail revealed yesterday how highly sensitive financial information about millions of pension holders is being sold for as little as 5p and ending up in the hands of criminals. The revelations come amid fears scammers are targeting the elderly and vulnerable ahead of George Osborne\u2019s pension reforms, which come into force on Monday and will give savers the chance to access their full retirement pots. Data firms sold undercover reporters personal data for 15,000 people, including their salaries, the value of their investments and the size of their pensions. They did so without any attempt to verify that the reporters, who posed as a cold-calling firm, were a genuine company or to check how they planned to use the data. Last night, Mr Cameron said the revelations were \u2018very worrying\u2019. He told the Mail: \u2018I\u2019ve listened to the Information Commissioner who now has the powers and laws that he needs to chase after this stuff. But it\u2019s extremely serious. 'We\u2019ll always look at it and if more needs to be done we\u2019ll do it, but my understanding from the briefing that I have had is that the legal position is pretty robust. Data theft, information theft, there are quite serious penalties.\u2019 Nick Clegg said large scale data theft should carry a jail term.

Also known as March Madness or the Big Dance, the second round of the tournament - which started today - features a hoops extravaganza: 16 games both today and tomorrow, from noon to midnight. The single-elimination bracket-style tournament means every game is a must-win for all 68 schools, producing tense, dramatic finishes. University of Connecticut won the championship title in 2014 against Kentucky. The reigning champs are already out of the tournament this year, having lost to Arizona State University on Wednesday . Upsets are eagerly anticipated as elites like University of Kentucky fend off underdogs trying to spark an improbable run and become the next tournament darling, like last year's University of Dayton. Fanatics, novices and even President Barack Obama are trying to predict the winners of every game by completing an estimated 70million tournament brackets, according to the American Gaming Association \u2014 that's more brackets completed than votes Obama received in the last presidential election. Throughout its 77-year history, the basketball tournament has transcended sports to become a national craze. MADNESS FROM THE START . College basketball has long filled the gap in the American sports calendar when baseball and football are dormant. In 1939, Oregon beat Ohio State in the first tournament, which featured only eight teams. The NCAA field kept growing as TV coverage spurred interest. The potential for a David to slay a Goliath set the stage for what remains the most-watched basketball game ever: the 1979 final pitting little-known Indiana State, led by Larry Bird, against powerhouse Michigan State, led by Magic Johnson. The classic game transformed Bird and Johnson into rival superstars and catapulted college basketball into the American consciousness. In this March 27, 1951, file photo, the Kentucky basketball team celebrates winning the NCAA college basketball championship after defeating Kansas State 68-58 in Minneapolis. In 1939, the national title was decided by an eight-team competition . THE BIG DANCE GETS BIGGER . The fledgling ESPN cable network began broadcasting the tournament's oft-ignored early rounds in 1980. The term 'March Madness' was popularized through the 1980s as unlikely champions such as North Carolina State and Villanova captivated Americans. TV ratings skyrocketed, and so did revenue for the NCAA. In 2013, according to the latest figures available from Kantar Media, TV advertising revenue was a staggering $1.15billion. Every game is now on TV and streaming online. The champion must win six games as the field winnows, from the Sweet 16 to the Elite Eight to the Final Four. The semifinals and championship will be played April 4-6 in a football stadium in Indianapolis. In a March 26, 1979 file photo, Indiana State's Larry Bird (33) gives a helping hand to a fallen Magic Johnson of Michigan State during the final game of the NCAA men's basketball championship in Salt Lake City. In 2015, 68 teams will play in 14 venues across the country, every game will be on TV, and the", "summary": "2015 marks the 77th NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship .

+{"article": "A slaughterhouse boss at the centre of the 2013 horsemeat scandal has been fined \u00a38,000 after failing to provide paperwork for horse carcasses he sold. Peter Boddy admitted one count of failing to abide by EU meat traceability regulations after being unable to back up claims he had sent nearly 40 carcasses to Italian restaurants. Another 12 horses from his slaughterhouse in Todmorden in West Yorkshire were sold without any records ever being kept. The 65-year-old claimed that rather than sell them on without knowledge of where they were going, many were purchased by caterers in the market for horsemeat. Peter Boddy (left) and David Moss (right) have become the first people sentenced over the 2013 horsemeat scandal. The pair worked together at an abattoir in Yorkshire where records of more than 50 carcasses were lost . Boddy and his slaughterhouse manager David Moss were involved in the 2013 scandal which saw hundreds of people mistakenly sold the meat. They were both sentenced at Southwark Crown Court today, the first of anyone involved in the furore, with Moss given a four month prison sentence suspended for two years. The court heard how Boddy did not produce adequate paperwork for 55 horse carcasses he had sold and accepted 17 animals into his abattoir without the appropriate documents. When questioned, he told officials that 37 had been sold to two Italian restaurants in Manchester and Leeds. Investigators could not verify his story, claiming neither of the establishments existed. 'When inquiries were made of the relevant councils, nothing was found that confirmed the existence of businesses with those names,' said prosecutor Adam Payter. The court heard how in 2013, Food Standards Agency requested paperwork for carcasses that passed through the slaughterhouse in 2012. At the time Moss admitted much of their business was done 'cash in hand' and without a detailed paper trail. Days later he forged an invoice requested as a result of the meeting. Southwark Crown Court heard how the 65-year-old claimed almost 40 of the carcasses were sold to Italian restaurants but this was never verified . While investigators could not tell exactly when and where the animals had been slaughtered, Mr Payter said there would have been no cause for dishonesty if they had worked to the rules. Peter Boddy was fined \u00a38,000 for breaching EU rules on the traceability of food. General Food Law states that 'food and feed business operators shall have in place systems and procedures to identify the other businesses to which their products have been supplied'. However, Boddy could not back up claims he had sent 40 horse carcasses to Italian restaurants. After admitting one charge of failing to abide by this traceability law, the maximum sentence Boddy could have faced was a two-year sentence and an unlimited fine. 'There would be no cause to cover up the provenance or destination of horsemeat unless there was something underlying wrong with that horsemeat,' he said. 'It can\u2019t be said where they were slaughtered, when they were slaughtered, whether it was on site - but horsemeat passed through", "summary": "Peter Boddy sold 55 horse carcasses without keeping record of the sales .

On the in-flight video, made around a decade ago, he can be heard saying 'right, here we go then' as he is towed aloft. As he scans the horizon, he says: 'Why is it so quiet today? It is unbelievable.' He then jokes with his companion: 'We're going until we have no more fuel, okay?' Scroll down for video . Clip: Andreas Lubitz is seen in the footage laughing and smiling as he takes off and flies a glider in Germany . Up in the air: Dramatic footage emerged of the Germanwings killer co-pilot training around a decade ago . The 30-second video - obtained by ITV News and taken in Lubitz's home town of Montabaur near Frankfurt - was discovered as Germany continued to search for answers over the tragedy. Lubitz went on to begin his training as a commercial airline pilot in 2007. But he was forced to take a six-month medical break for depression and 'burnout' before finally qualifying as a first officer at Lufthansa two years ago. German investigators also found torn-up sicknotes and a 'small mountain of pills' in Lubitz's Dusseldorf flat which showed he had hidden the extent of his illness from his employers. At least one of the medical certificates covered the day of the crash last Tuesday. The 27-year-old was also said to be 'living on the edge' because he feared that his deteriorating blurred vision would cost him his pilot's licence. Calls are now intensifying for doctor-patient confidences to be suspended for people responsible for the lives of others. Yesterday a British air safety expert said Lubitz was able to hide his medical problems because of a 'gaping hole' in the system for monitoring pilot health. Under confidentiality laws rules, which also operate in the UK, patients do not have to tell GPs where they work and doctors are not able to tell employers about any health issues because of patient confidentiality. Taking to the skies: Lubitz is heard saying 'right, here we go then' as he is towed aloft in his home town of Montabaur near Frankfurt .

+{"article": "Professor Michael Kelly, pictured, was one of 43 Fellows of the Royal Society who wrote to the president to warn that it was in danger of violating its founding principle . Five years ago, I was one of 43 Fellows of the Royal Society \u2013 the first and arguably still the most prestigious scientific organisation in the world \u2013 who wrote to our then-president about its approach to climate change. We warned that the Society was in danger of violating its founding principle, summed up in its famous motto \u2018Nullius in verba\u2019 \u2013 or \u2018Don\u2019t take another\u2019s word for it; check it out for yourself\u2019. The reason for our warning was a Society document which stated breezily: \u2018If you don\u2019t believe in climate change you are using one of the following [eight] misleading arguments.\u2019 The implication was clear: the Society seemed to be saying there was no longer room for meaningful debate about the claim that the world is warming dangerously because of human activity, because the science behind this was \u2018settled\u2019. We hoped we would persuade the Society to rethink this position. That document was revised so that the uncertainty involved in trying to model the climate was admitted. But since then the Society has become more, not less dogmatic \u2013 despite the fact that since we sent that letter, it has become evident that there is even more uncertainty than previously thought. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have continued to rise, but since 1998 there has been no statistically significant rise in global temperatures at all. This flies in the face of the confident predictions made by nearly all the climate computer models that the temperature would continue to rise as it did from 1975 to 1998. More than 60 different explanations have been proposed to explain why this \u2018pause\u2019 or \u2018hiatus\u2019 has happened, and their sheer number is the clearest evidence that the system that climate scientists are seeking to model is irreducibly complex. Human-sourced carbon dioxide is at best one of many factors in causing climate change, and humility in front of this complexity is the appropriate stance. Yet the Society continues to produce a stream of reports which reveal little sign of this. The latest example is the pre-Christmas booklet A Short Guide To Climate Science. Last year also saw the joint publication with the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Climate Change: Evidence And Causes, and a report called Resilience. Through these documents, the Society has lent its name to claims \u2013 such as trends towards increasing extreme weather and climate casualties \u2013 that simply do not match real-world facts. Both the joint report with the NAS and the Short Guide answer 20 questions on temperatures, sea-level rises and ocean acidification. But a report today by the academic council of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, which includes several Society Fellows and other eminent scientists, states the Society has \u2018left out\u2019 parts of the science, so the answers to many of the questions ought to be different. I have personal experience of this selectivity. Last", "summary": "The Royal Society's motto is 'Nullius in verba' or don't take another's word .

Four months ago she pleaded guilty on the grounds of diminished responsibility to the manslaughter of her three-year-old twin sons and four-year-old daughter. She was sentenced by an Old Bailey judge to be detained in a psychiatric hospital until her recovery was complete. Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that she has been allowed to return to the family home where the killings took place. Tania Clarence, who is being treated for depression, has been seen at her \u00a31.2million family home with a girl believed to be her surviving daughter just four months after admitting killing her three terminally ill children . At the court hearing in November, Mrs Clarence was described as a loving and caring mother who had smothered twins Max and Ben and daughter Olivia while in the grip of a severe bout of mental illness brought on by what Mr Justice Sweeney called the \u2018unbearable pressure\u2019 of caring for them. Mrs Clarence\u2019s solicitor said it was one of the saddest cases to come before the criminal courts. Her client\u2019s plea was accepted by the prosecution and the judge imposed a sentence known as a Hospital Order. He ruled that the 43-year-old would need psychiatric treatment and therapy \u2018for the foreseeable future\u2019 and would not be released until she had recovered from her illness. Last week she was photographed for the first time at the house in New Malden, Surrey, where the killings took place.

She was accompanied by another woman and a young girl \u2013 thought to be her only surviving child, who was eight years old when the terrible events occurred last April. All three went into the seven-bedroom house and the unidentified woman left half an hour later, driving off in a silver Mazda. Mrs Clarence declined to comment when she was approached by a Mail on Sunday reporter but her husband Gary, when told that an article about the family was being prepared for publication this weekend, said: \u2018Okay, fine.\u2019 Family man: Gary Clarence with his three-year-old twin sons Max and Ben.

+{"article": "Scottish Labour MPs are defying Ed Miliband by telling voters on the doorstep they would not support a post-election deal with the SNP. In an indication of a growing split in the party over its election strategy, several MPs are indicating that they would not be prepared to back any arrangement with Scottish Nationalists after May. Some are even said to be threatening to quit the party rather than be part of an administration propped up by the SNP, which wants to break up the UK. Labour leader Ed Miliband is facing a rebellion in Scotland over his plan to do a post-election deal with the SNP . Despite pressure from shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, Mr Miliband has repeatedly refused to rule out relying on the votes of SNP MPs to enable a Labour government to take power if he fails to win a Commons majority. There is rising Labour panic at polls suggesting the Scottish Nationalists are heading for a landslide victory north of the border \u2013 picking up dozens of MPs at the expense of Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The latest suggest that the SNP could win as many as 50 of Scotland\u2019s 59 seats, including Labour strongholds currently held by Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling. That would mean Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond holding the balance of power at Westminster, threatening a constitutional crisis. One Scottish Labour MP said: \u2018Labour MPs on the doorstep are saying \u201cif you vote for us we won\u2019t do a deal with the SNP\u201d. The group are united. I\u2019m not aware of a colleague who is advocating against that position.\u2019 Another MP said: \u2018There\u2019s no prospect of any deal with the SNP and I\u2019m making that clear on the doorstep. \u2018But I don\u2019t want to be focusing on the issue of deals, and I understand why it hasn\u2019t been ruled out [by Mr Miliband]. We would end up getting diverted into a campaign that\u2019s all about deals, rather than our key message which is that we can have a Labour majority government.\u2019 In constituencies where there was a strong No vote in last year\u2019s independence referendum, or where there are large numbers of middle-class Scots who traditionally vote Lib Dem or Tory, Labour\u2019s candidates are now telling people on the doorstep there will be no pact with the SNP. The move \u2013 in defiance of Mr Miliband\u2019s official stance - is designed to encourage tactical voting towards Labour. But in more working-class areas such as the west of Scotland where the independence campaign performed better, MPs fear ruling out a deal could make voters leaning towards the Nationalists \u2018more bloody-minded\u2019.

What a delight it was to see a young Englishman, who is leading the Premier League scoring charts, come on and score for England within 79 seconds. Like everyone at Wembley, I left the ground with a smile on my face because of Kane\u2019s cameo appearance. But we do have to measure our praise a little bit. On Friday against Lithuania he was facing a League One back four. To judge Harry properly you need to see him over 10 international games \u2014 and probably 10 back-to-back games. He needs those games to settle in and see what international football is about. Harry Kane (left) scored 79 seconds into his England debut against Lithuania on Friday . Kane wheels away to celebrate scoring for England against Lithuania at Wembley on Friday . Kane's incredible rise continued on Friday when he marked his first England game with a goal . What I will say is that from what I\u2019ve seen of him over the past 12 months, stepping up from Under-21 level to the Tottenham first team, to the Europa League and now to full international level, he has looked comfortable at every stage. He can hold the ball up, he leaps well to head the ball, he works hard and can play in either of the front two positions and his finishing doesn\u2019t really need any additional comment. He can be a genuine international player but we have to see him against tougher defences first. If he starts against Italy on Tuesday, it will be more of a test both on the pitch and mentally. On Friday, when he came on, there was nothing to lose. The game was won and their back four, which was struggling anyway, had been stretched. That\u2019s a lovely position to be in as a fresh, young striker. When you start the focus is all on you and the team is looking to you for the breakthrough goals. That\u2019s a different test. And he\u2019s likely to be up against Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, two of the toughest defenders around. I do believe that he will learn quickly and he can raise the bar at international level. Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge will both enjoy playing with him. I\u2019ve said before that we haven\u2019t had this range of attacking talent since I was the England manager and had to pick between Alan Shearer, Teddy Sheringham, Michael Owen, Ian Wright, Les Ferdinand, Robbie Fowler and Andrew Cole. There are some great options for Roy now. We\u2019re not going to mess around any more with Rooney playing out wide. But I can see Rooney and Kane playing up top together, with one dropping in behind at times. Both of them can do that, so you can rotate the role. I had the same kind of pleasant problem going into the 1998 World Cup.

The cab service said the acquisition is designed to \u2018fine tune\u2019 Uber\u2019s services that rely on maps - but it could also help with the development of an autonomous vehicle . The accurate navigation technology, for example, could be used to train and test autonomous taxis. Uber lets consumers use an app to locate a driver and instantly book a ride. Google Maps software is already integrated into Uber to let users check progress of drivers on their way to pick them up. DeCarta was founded in 1996 and provides services including in-map searching, turn-by-turn navigation, location APIs and more. While it may not be as well-known as Google Maps, its technology is extensively used by consumers. The OnStar system built into cars made by General Motors, for example, relies on deCarta, as do smartphone makers Samsung and BlackBerry. In its early years, Google Maps even tapped into deCarta's technology according to the company. Rumours of the acquisition have been circulating for the past week and Uber has now confirmed its move, although it is not sharing purchase price or financial terms. The acquisition bolsters rumours that Uber is planning to build a rival driverless car to Google's vehicle (pictured). Uber said it will be partnering with roboticists at Carnegie Mellon University to create a centre devoted to research and development of mapping, car safety, and 'autonomous technology' 'A lot of the functionality that makes the Uber app so reliable, affordable and seamless is based on mapping technologies,' the company said in a statement. 'With the acquisition of deCarta, we will continue to fine-tune our products and services that rely on maps - for example UberPOOL, the way we compute ETAs, and others - and make the Uber experience even better for our users.'

Tomas Rosicky has revealed he considered leaving Arsenal in January following a lack of first-team football . 'Since the start of the year things have improved, the team has started to play better football and what's more I'm playing. Compared to the first six months, it's much better. We'll see how it goes from here,' Rosicky said to Czech press, quoted by www.isport.blesk.cz. 'I don't really know [why I didn't play]. It's a good question, I would also like to know. 'The coach gave me a chance towards the end the year and then began to give me more playing time. I don't know, maybe it was a watershed moment.' Rosicky, seen with Olivier Giroud, hopes to play a full part in the Gunners' end-of-season run-in . Rosicky added: 'We had talked about [me leaving in January] in previous meetings back in September and October, but then the market closed and I couldn't do anything. 'When you don't play a single game in December and the market opens, [the prospect of leaving] is obviously on the agenda. Then you start to have second thoughts. 'It was an exception for me though, I really thought about it. Then Arsenal said stay and that was that. Rosicky, 34, has not ruled out extending his stay at the Emirates Stadium come the end of the season . 'The rest of the season will go quickly, then we'll look for a solution. 'Arsenal is still an option for me next season, the ball is in their court. When I get back from international duty we will start to talk about it. 'There are two options open to me [stay at Arsenal or go elsewhere]. At the moment I am in a situation where I make the decision.' Rosicky fights for the ball with Bayern Munich ace David Alaba in the Champions League . Captain Mikel Arteta is another player whose future has to be resolved, the Spaniard out of contract in the summer, but expected to be offered a one-year extension. Arsenal have most of their first-team squad away on international duty. German midfielder Mesut Ozil missed the win at Newcastle on Saturday through a minor illness, but was subsequently spotted in a Berlin nightclub. While Ozil was set to leave for Germany on Saturday night anyway, Arsenal are expected to seek the player's version of events when he reports back for training ahead of the crucial Premier League match with Liverpool on April 4.

Justice for X'Zavion: Thomas Albea (left), 22, of Illinois, has been convicted of first-degree murder in the 2011 beating death of 3-year-old X\u2019Zavion Charleston (right) Cruel punishment: Prosecutors said Albea repeatedly struck the toddler in the abdomen after X'Zavion uttered a swear word while playing the video game Mortal Kombat . The incident took place at around 11pm on September 14, 2011, while Albea, then 18 years old, was looking after his girlfriend\u2019s son in the 1700 block of McAree Road. Prosecutors said little X'Zavion was playing the violent fighting game Mortal Kombat while waiting for his dinner when he used an unspecified expletive, followed by the words, 'he got me,' reported Chicago Tribune. Albea responded to the child's outburst by striking him in the abdomen. The teen suspect initially told police that he hit X'Zavion only once, but he later admitted that he struck the toddler multiple times. The boy was rushed to Children\u2019s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, where he died the next day from what the Cook County Medical Examiner described in the autopsy report as 'catastrophic' injuries to his internal organs and abdomen.

When she came down to feed her son and noticed that something was wrong with him, Albea lied to her that X'Zavion had fallen. Albea's attorney, Gillian Gosch, argued during the trial that her client did not intend to kill or seriously hurt X'Zavion. But Judge Mark Levitt rejected Gosch's argument and subsequent plea for a not guilty verdict, stating that the extent of the 3-year-old's injuries shows that the brutal attack was more than an act of recklessness, or an attempt to discipline the boy for his transgression.

Now French minister Segolene Royal has hit back at the 'spiteful and inappropriate' attacks, and warning: 'What goes around comes around.' French minister Segolene Royal (left) has hit back after George Osborne repeatedly contrasted the UK's strong recovery with the sluggish growth and high unemployment on the other side of the Channel . In his Budget statement last week, Mr Osborne made several references to Britain's strong growth compared to France. He mocked the high rate of French unemployment, quipping that one English county - Yorkshire - had created more jobs than the whole of France. He pointed to forecasts suggesting the British economy grew by 2.6 per cent last year, '50 per cent faster than Germany, three times faster than the euro-zone \u2013 and seven times faster than France'. He and the Prime Minister also pointed to the UK's nearest continental neighbour as a lesson of why Labour - whose leader closely associated himself with the approach of Socialist Party president Francois Hollande - would be bad for Britain.

'Imagine if Miliband had been free to pursue his French dream: the fallout would be felt in catastrophic job losses, falling living standards, eye-watering debt and fast-diminishing hope in our future.' The UK economy has enjoyed much stronger growth than France since the crash in 2008, according to Eurostat . Unemployment has also fallen more sharply in the UK than on the other side of the Channel where more than 10 per cent were out of work in 2014 . Asked about the attacks, Ms Royal told BBC2's Newsnight: 'I am very surprised by what I consider to be something which seems so far removed from the traditional British sense of fair play. 'It is rather condescending. It seems a little spiteful and inappropriate.' European countries 'should all stand together when any country is in difficulty', she said.

'In the end, what goes around comes around.' Ms Royal is the ex-partner of Mr Hollande.

The black pretzel was discovered alongside the charred remains of a bread roll and a croissant and it is thought that the food items have been preserved for so long because they were badly burnt by their 18th century baker. Lasting flavour: The world's oldest pretzel was discovered in the eastern Bavarian city of Regensburg . Silvia Codreanau-Windauer from the Bavarian Bureau for the Conservation of Historic Monuments told The Local: 'This is definitely the oldest pretzel ever found.' The mayor of Regensburg Joachim Wolbergs added. 'This discovery is really extraordinary, because it depicts a snippet of everyday life.' Pretzels are a traditional south German and Austrian delicacy and have been a favorite in Germany for centuries. In Bavaria, pretzels are often eaten for breakfast alongside weisswurst (white sausage) with sweet mustard. Also found: The charred remains of a bread roll were found near the pretzel and experts believe the baked goods have been preserved because they were burnt by an 18th century baker who then threw them away . Charred remains: The pretzel measures four inches and the mayor of Regensburg, where it was found, has called the discovery 'extraordinary' The earliest recorded evidence of pretzels comes from 1111 when they appear in the crest of German bakers' guilds in 1111. The snacks have long been integrated into the Christian faith. By the 16th century, it had become tradition to eat pretzels on Good Friday in Germany, and Catholics once considered them the official food of lent. Today, pretzels are most popular in the USA and Germany. Source: www.todayifoundout.com . Speaking to The Local, Ms Codreanu-Windauer added some historical context to the find, saying: 'The form of the pretzel is supposed to represent the crossed arms of monks. Eventually it ended up as a fasting meal.' Monks are the symbol of Bavaria's capital Munich and different orders and monasteries give their names to many of the state's most prominent beers. The excavation site in Regensburg has been a hit with archaeologists, who recently discovered a wooden house there thought to be up to 1,200 years old. On the site, which lies on the Danube, there are plans to build a museum for Bavarian history to mark the 2018 centenary of the region's status as a free state.

The 2.3-ton tombstone, which features a Christian cross carved on the top, was lifted into place overnight at Leicester Cathedral . The setting of the great slab of Yorkshire Swaledale stone marks the end of a week in which the king was reinterred in a ceremony that included a poetry reading by actor Benedict Cumberbatch. The Queen called yesterday's service a moment of 'great national significance'. Organisers aimed to rebury the king with the 'dignity and honour' he was denied in death, after his original burial in a hastily-dug grave in the old Greyfriars church following his death at Bosworth field. The cathedral said it was expecting 'a considerable number of visitors from all over the world' to come and see the king's completed memorial. The king was reinterred in a ceremony at Leicester Cathedral yesterday in a service described by The Queen as a moment of 'great national significance' Actor Benedict Cumberbatch (pictured), Downton Abbey creator and writer Julian Fellowes attended the service, alongside the Countess of Wessex and the Duke and Duchess of Glouceste . Today's 'service or reveal' will include interpretative dance charting the rediscovery of Richard's grave, the science behind identifying his remains and his reburial. A banner with the king's coat of arms, provided by the Richard III Society, will also be hung over the tomb in the ambulatory during the service. Liz Hudson, the cathedral's communications director, said: 'King Richard III's tomb is now a permanent feature in Leicester Cathedral. Archaeologists discovered the king under a council car park not far from the cathedral in August 2012 . 'However, there are still a considerable number of visitors from all over the world in Leicester who we expect will want to take a last opportunity to see it before returning home. 'We anticipate a great deal of interest and suggest that people who live locally may find it easier to plan a visit to see the tomb at a slightly later date.' Last Sunday, more than 35,000 lined the streets for a procession of the king's coffin from the University of Leicester, whose archaeologists discovered his grave, to Bosworth and finally on to Leicester. Throughout the week, thousands waited in line for hours to see Richard's coffin as it lay in repose in the cathedral, before yesterday's reinterment presided", "summary": "The completed stone tomb of Richard III was lifted into position overnight .

Chief Executive Michael Downey finally unveiled his vision for the governing body, and in budgetary terms the big winner will be those people involved in marketing the sport and trying to get more people playing it. Over the next four years there will be a 50 per cent uplift in money spent on marketing, so that by 2018 around \u00a326 million will be spent on promoting the sport of tennis in the United Kingdom. While Andy Murrayis established as one of the world's best players, problems still exist at grass roots level . Other countries will look on enviously at such a huge sum although, given the current rankings of most GB juniors, many may well comfort themselves that their stocks of elite players will be superior for years to come. Downey reaffirmed the LTA's laudable, broad policy of building the game from the bottom up by concentrating on participation and talked through a range of worthy and sensible measures to help achieve this. However, there was nothing especially original to stir the imagination or make an impact with the wider public, no 'Parks tennis revolution' or some such thing. Anyone wanting to see something more radical to improve the British game would be left disappointed. Not that Downey, the former head of Tennis Canada who was appointed 18months ago, pulled all of his punches in presenting the latest of what have hitherto been doomed long-term plans for the British game. LTA Chief Executive Michael Downey has unveiled his long term strategy to rejuvenate the game . 'Our sport is declining and some people have a problem hearing that,' he said at the start. What he was specifically referring to was the problems tennis, like most other ball sports, has with declining participation numbers. They all face a challenge from what he termed 'doorstep' sports, highly convenient and less technically demanding activities such as running, cycling, swimming and going to the gym, which can be done solo and whenever time permits. Despite the hundreds of millions gleaned from Wimbledon profits and that event's ever growing popularity, there has been an average drop of 5 per cent in adult participation over each of the past five years. The particular problem is among the 16-44 age group with numbers steady above that. Curiously he omitted to mention, until asked, that tennis is now played to a greater or lesser extent in 20,000 schools among 2.6 million children, an impressive figure that would be envied by most other sports. Among the smorgasbord of measures to improve things, there will be a drive to increase participation in parks tennis. 'I think the old LTA would have driven by the parks and straight into the clubs and schools,' he said. The LTA receives millions annually from funds generated by the Wimbledon Championships .

Couples who stay together until their children fly the nest can boost their incomes by a third, according to new research. The study found husbands and wives could earn thousands of pounds extra- almost the same boost as having a degree- just by sticking with their partner. Former High Court judge Sir Paul Coleridge, the founder of the Marriage Foundation which commissioned the research, claimed it showed that social mobility often depended on people's ability to maintain stable relationships. The study found that a woman with a degree in her mid-forties, who married before the birth of her children and has stayed with her partner until they reached 14 or 15 years old would earn around \u00a331,000. But if the same mother had separated from the father of her child, her income would drop dramatically to \u00a323,000 a year. Sir Coleridge told The Sunday Times: 'The better-off on the whole stay together, and so preserve and increase their wealth for the next generation. 'The less well-off, on the other hand, are marrying less and less, staying together less and less, and seeing the perpetuation of their poverty into future generations.' Coleridge is now launching a manifesto for political parties to tackle family breakdown, estimated to cost tax payers \u00a347billion a year. Harry Benson, research director of the Marriage Foundation, claimed that people who stayed together had a greater combined income and therefore more stability.

The death of his cousin to heart disease inspired Carsten Charles Sabathia to lose a massive 17kg between October 2013 and March 2014. But the 34-year-old played poorly and many - including himself - believe his skinny figure could not support his towering six-foot, seven-inch frame.

Before and after: New York Yankees' pitcher CC Sabathia lost 17kg for the 2014 season (left) but piled the pounds back on this year (pictured) The struggle: Sabathia (pictured this year) says the reason he played worse as a skinny man is because he felt 'off balance' Toning up: Sabathia (left) looked in the best shape of his life as he toned up for his wedding to Amber (pictured) in January last year .

I feel a little stronger. I feel my legs under me, being a lot stronger, and being able to push off the mound.' The six-time All-Star put on around 9kg while recovering from a knee injury, and 5kg more over the winter. During his 14-year-career, he has weighed as much as 142kg but the loss of his cousin in 2012 inspired Sabathia to battle his obesity for fear he would suffer the same fate.

The 23-year-old, who has been in fine form in the Bundesliga, is in high demand, with United the latest in a string of Premier League clubs to show an interest. Everton, Liverpool and Arsenal have all considered bids for the 23-year-old Brazilian who has a release clause reputedly set at \u00a314.5million. Sportsmail tells you everything you need to know about the Hoffenheim forward. Roberto Firmino celebrates scoring a late winner for his Hoffenheim side against Eintracht Frankfurt . Firmino scored the winning goal for Brazil in just his second international game against Austria last year . A skillful dribbler - in the past two seasons only Lionel Messi and Eden Hazard have embarked on more succesful dribbles in Europe's top leagues - and with all the tricks and flicks you might expect from a Brazilian international forward, Firmino is an attacking midfielder with an eye for goal. He is not an out and out goalscorer, as his record of 6 goals in 25 Bundesliga games this season shows, but Firmino is a capable finisher when the chance arises. Last season's tally of 16 goals for Hoffenheim earned him his first Brazil call-up early this term, and he announced himself in the international stage with a stunning 25 yard strike into the top corner to earn the selecao a win against Austria in just his second game. The Brazilian's shot from 25 yards flew into the top corner to earn him a first international goal . The Brazilian shows off his excellent first touch as he keeps the ball away from two Stuttgart defenders . However, it is not for his goalscoring exploits that Louis van Gaal will want the 23-year-old, but his playmaking. Firmino loves to pick a pass, sliding through balls into the strikers from his position in behind, and has racked up 18 league assists since the start of last season. To put that number in context, that's as many as Manchester United's entire midfield against Tottenham - Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini, Daley Blind and Michael Carrick - have managed in the Premier League over the past two seasons. The Brazilian is usually deployed behind the central striker, but can operate out wide on the left, where his pace and quick feet allow him to beat a man before picking out team-mates. With Neymar, Coutinho, Oscar and Willian in his position, Firmino has done well to earn a Brazil call-up . The playmaker holds off a tackle as he embarks on one of his trademark runs in a recent game . As well as running past defenders with the ball he has a knack for making attacking runs from deep without it, posing a threat in behind whether coming from central areas on the wing. And, when stationed wide on the left, Firmino has the ability to cut inside and unleash a strike at goal with his favoured right foot, or trouble the full back down the outside with his trickery, causing defenders", "summary": "Roberto Firmino has been at Hoffenheim for four years .

It uses augmented reality to lay virtual images onto the real world (virtual huts are shown on the site of a prehistoric settlement on Leskernick Hill, Cornwall).

Famously, he didn't stay for long. It was 200 years ago that he escaped, bound for Waterloo and on to a more permanent exile in St Helena. But the locals still revere the celebrity prisoner who, for just under a year, was formally recognised as the King of Elba. Inviting: The pretty harbour of Portoferraio in Elba, an island which lies just 12 miles off the coast of Tuscany . In this anniversary year, there are plenty of pageants and parades in his honour. Yet, as I sit bobbing on the waters below his villa, I can't help thinking that Napoleon must have spent his later years wondering why he ever left. For there is something magical, something other about Elba. Half the size of the Isle of Wight, this fish-shaped island has 3,000ft peaks, coral reefs, beaches of every complexion and Italy's lowest crime rate. Though just 12 miles off the coast of Tuscany, it bears little resemblance to the chi-chi tourist trap of Chiantishire. The vast majority of visitors who make the one-hour ferry crossing from Piombino are ordinary Italians (we don't meet a Briton all week). With a tiny airport, it has been spared major development, and half of its 85 square miles area is national park. Many beaches and bays can be reached only by hiking, biking or, better still, by boat. That is why Elba is perfect for a sailing holiday, whether you are a sailor or not. A comfortable six-bed, 40ft yacht can be a lot cheaper than a hotel or villa. You'd be hard-pushed to find a view to match the one from our deck as we sit back, beer in hand, and watch the sun set behind Monte Capanne. Blissful bobbing: Lovely Porto Azzurro is an ideal place to drop anchor, perfect for pizzas and people-watching . Kent-based Nautilus Yachting has yachts all over the Med and has been organising charters around Elba and the Tuscan archipelago for years. We settle on a Bavaria 40, a popular cruising yacht with a flip-down bathing platform at the back. Little sailors: Robert's children adored life on board . The only question is: who will do the sailing? Nautilus can organise a skipper for \u00a390 a day. But having been messing around in boats since childhood, I want to take charge. You might almost call it a Napoleon complex (my wife does). So I have to go back to school. The basic requirement for renting anything larger than a day boat is the Royal Yachting Association's Day Skipper certificate, within easy reach of the average dinghy sailor. It involves a five-day practical sailing course plus a detailed theory course. You can do the latter online, but you must live aboard for the practical part. Sunsail runs flotillas and courses all over the world, and I join the fleet on the Solent. It proves invaluable; after five days", "summary": "The small Italian island of Elba is a perfect setting for a sailing holiday .

A furniture boss is facing jail after his company produced a cot that nearly caused the death of two young children. Philip Dickens admitted his company, Baumhaus, supplied an unsafe item at Aylesbury Crown Court, Buckinghamshire, today. The firm produced the Nutkin cot bed which was blamed for incidents where two children 'came very close to very serious harm or death,' the court heard. Dickens, described as 'the king of DIY' on a profile on the Baumhaus website, could now face a jail sentence or a fine of up to \u00a320,000. The site says the solid hardwood Nutkin cot, a modified version of which is still being sold, is suitable for children aged 0 to 12 years as it 'transforms easily from cot into stunning sleigh bed.' It says the cot is 'extremely versatile' and can be set to three different heights. In 2013, Baumhaus released a product recall for the original design of the cot, explaining that parts of the bed, particularly the gaps at the top, had been identified as a potential trap-hazard. A notice published online by consumer watchdog Which? said there is a 'risk of children trapping their head and neck in the gaps at the top.' It added: 'A child's legs or arms could become trapped between the end slat of the drop-down side of some products sold.' The company, which produces a number of ranges of furniture, has since modified the design and it is available from a number of retailers for around \u00a3500.

'They placed it on the market and it was subsequently supplied and the incidents occurred.' Entering pleas on the company's behalf, Dickens pleaded guilty to two counts of placing an unsafe product on the market between January 2010 and July 2013.

The Lib Dem leader was challenged over his call for drug users not to be given criminal records for possessing illegal substances.

The Liberal Democrat manifesto will commit the party to ending imprisonment for possession of drugs for personal use and ensure that those arrested with small amounts of illicit substances do not get a criminal record. But during his weekly radio phone-in, Mr Clegg was grilled about how many cannabis joints a teenager could be caught with without getting a criminal record. LBC host Nick Ferrari said: \u2018I\u2019m an 18-year-old student, I get stopped by police, I have 20 joints in the boot of my car. I subsequently want to become a teacher. Can I become a teacher?\u2019 Mr Clegg insisted that as the law stands that person would not be able to become a teacher. But he said the law needed to be changed: \u2018I think it\u2019s completely wrong if some teenager, 17 or 18 year old, dabbles in\u2026 I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s 20 [joints] or one. \u2018Do I think their chances of working as a nurse, as a teacher, or a lawyer or a taxi driver should be blighted forever, of course I don\u2019t. \u2018If you are a teenager, one in five youngster use drugs, a third of adults have used drugs at some point in their life in this country. \u2018What you are saying to me is someone who as a 17 or 18--year-old and has smoked some hassish, and they are caught doing that, you\u2019re saying they should never ever\u2026 work as a nurse, as a teacher.\u2019 Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clergg shared a platform with Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson to argue said drug users should not be given criminal records for possessing illegal substances . Yesterday's announcement follows a controversial \u2018research\u2019 project ordered by Lib Dem Home Office ministers, which used taxpayers\u2019 money to study drugs policy around the world. Jeremy Browne and Norman Baker jetted off to examine how other countries tackle drugs. They travelled to ten countries, including the US, Portugal and Sweden, at a cost of almost \u00a340,000. The Lib Dems seized on parts of the report suggesting decriminalisation in countries like Portugal cut the health damage caused by drugs. But critics said they ignored evidence that the number of children using drugs had risen. Pressed again on the scenario of 20 joints, Mr Clegg hit back: \u2018If he has got 20 joints is he allowed to be a teacher. \u2018Your fixation is whether it was 20.

After she had lost two babies because they were born prematurely, doctors went to extraordinary lengths to ensure baby Lennox would survive. One year earlier, she had delivered her tiny daughter Adelaide at 24 weeks, a baby who tragically lived for just one hour. Despite her overwhelming grief, Mrs Caines allowed a photograph showing Adelaide struggling for life to be published, because she felt so strongly that abortions should not be carried out on babies of a similar age.

Peter Baines founded charity Hands Across the Water after spending 22 years with the NSW Police leading teams in response to acts of terrorism and natural disasters, and says that many Australians approach charity work as a one-day-a-year commitment. 'If people think that they are going to go to a charity and create significant change in one day then they are naive at best, and arrogant at worst,' Mr Baines told Daily Mail Australia. Peter Baines founded charity Hands Across the Water, after responding to the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004 . 'I'm involved with a food van in Sydney that operates seven nights a week to feed the homeless. There is a core group of volunteers but at Christmas time we are swamped with people wanting to help out,' Mr Baines said. 'Homeless people need to be fed all year, so is it about the people you are looking to support or is it about you? I was always a bit mystified and I feel like people want to do it so they can talk about what they've done at the next cocktail party they go to,' he said. As part of the leadership team that responded to the Bali bombings in 2002 and the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004, Mr Baines has had almost 30 years experience responding to people in need. The Australian of the Year finalist and Order of Australia medal recipient has made it his life's goal to bring effective and meaningful change to the lives of those who need it the most, and believes that a different approach to charity work needs to be adopted. In his new book, Doing Good for Doing Good, Mr Baines says that people can be a 'waste of space' when they volunteer if they aren't committed to doing something of value, and are only interested in how their charity work makes them look. Mr Baines is an Australian of the Year finalist and Order of Australia medal recipient . Hands Over the Water was founded in 2005 and has set up several orphanages around Thailand .

Diego Barkan, of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, said that 17 pits were found that had been used to store produce in the Early Bronze Age, from 3,500 to 3,000 BC. Beer was the favourite drink of humans and gods in ancient Egypt. It was also drank by rich and poor, adults and children. This was because it was cleaner than water, which came from a river or canal and was often polluted. Beer was considered as staple, along with bread, Reshafim.org reported. Workers were paid with bread, oil, beer and vegetables by their employers. The standard ration was two jars containing three-and-a-half pints (two litres) of beer.

The fact that he is walking at all is a measure of progress, considering the damage caused during the vicious assault he suffered on holiday in Tenerife last September. But the greater question, and one that has lingered since his condition was no longer deemed life-threatening, centres on what kind of fighter will return to the ring. The answer will finally come on Saturday, when the 28-year-old faces Jo Jo Dan, a tough Romanian who is mandatory challenger for the IBF welterweight world title Brook brilliantly won weeks before he was assaulted.

+{"article": "A woman who fled with her son while fighting to prevent his circumcision will face imprisonment if she doesn't return and allow the surgery to proceed, a judge ruled Friday. In a stinging rebuke of the mother, Heather Hironimus, Circuit Judge Jeffrey Gillen said she had successfully dragged out a legal battle and was 'reprehensible' for going missing with the boy and for conduct that has put the 4-year-old in a public spotlight 'making him an object of curiosity and worse'. He found her in contempt and demanded she appear in court on Tuesday with the child or he would command police to find her. Circuit Judge Jeffrey Gillen said on Friday that Heather Hironimus could escape jail if she appears before him on Tuesday with the child . She will only avoid jail on the contempt charge, Gillen said, if she signs paperwork necessary to schedule the procedure that she initially agreed to in a legal document. 'This child has been placed in a light that provides much too much scrutiny for a little boy,' the judge said. 'I blame no one but the mother for that.' It was the latest dramatic turn in a case nearly as old as the boy himself, and one that has become a rallying cry for 'intactivists,' the circumcision opponents who say removing the foreskin is barbaric. Though Hironimus gave her blessing to circumcision in the parenting plan she reached with the boy's father, Dennis Nebus of Boca Raton, she later changed her mind, leading to a long court battle. Circuit and appellate judges have sided with the father. The father has called circumcision 'just the normal thing to do.' The mother said it's not worth the risks. After Hironimus, of Boynton Beach, refused to sign papers to allow the circumcision and after protesters spotlighted the case, potential surgeons have backed out of circumcising the boy. Both Nebus and the boy's doctors have received death threats. Meantime, the mother has stoked the protests and publicity, despite a court order not to, said May Cain, an attorney for the father, who appeared in court. 'She's willing to flee with him and plaster him all over the Internet and do anything she can,' Nebus said. 'She's stated that she's going to do everything that she can to stop it.' Nebus said he has not seen his son since Feb. 19. Thomas Hunker, the attorney for Hironimus, said he did not know where his client was. After the hearing, Hunker said 'We're concerned for the child's wellbeing and emotional condition.' Though circumcision rates have fallen in the U.S., a majority of boys still undergo the procedure, though a bubbling movement against it has developed. The CDC says medical evidence shows benefits clearly outweigh risks, and that circumcision can lower a male's risk of sexually transmitted diseases, penile cancer and urinary tract infections.

+{"article": "It is one of the most toxic substances known to man and has been used to poison kings, emperors and even prize winning racehorses. But scientists have discovered one small population of people living in a remote part of the Andes in north west Argentina who have developed some resistance to arsenic. They have found that over thousands of years the local inhabitants there have developed a genetic ability to metabolise the arsenic to reduce the impact it has on their bodies. Local women in San Antonio de los Cobres in the Andes (pictutred above) carry a genetic variant that gives them greater tolerance of the poison arsenic by helping them to metabolise the element more efficiently . Worldwide arsenic poisoning caused by contaminated water and food is thought to harm more than 137 million people. Even low levels of arsenic poisoning can cause damage to the lungs, heart, kidneys and liver, leading to cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Napoleon Bonaparte\u2019s mysterious death has generated a host of murder conspiracy theories over the years. The Emperor was said to have died from stomach cancer. The physician who led the autopsy found evidence of a stomach ulcer but some people said it was the most convenient explanation for the British, who wanted to avoid criticism over their care of the Emperor. Napoleon's father died of stomach cancer. In 1955 the diaries of the leader's valet were published, which included the description of bed-bound Napoleon months before his death. Based on the description, scientists put forward other theories as to why he died - which included arsenic poisoning. Arsenic was used as a poison during the era because it was undetectable when administered over a long period. It was noted in a later book that Napoleon's body was found to be remarkably well preserved when moved in 1840 and arsenic is a preservative. In 2007 a toxicologist said he found mineral arsenic in napoleon's hair shafts, which supported the theory that he was murdered. The wallpaper used in the emperors bedroom on St Helena also contained high levels of arsenic compound used by British manufacturers as a dye. It has been suspected that if the wallpaper got hot it might have emitted the poisonous gas arsine, but other scientists think the poison would have had to be consumed internally - or that the leader really did die of cancer. In higher doses it can damage the immune system, trigger bleeding, convulsions and eventually coma and death. However, people living in the sparsely populated area around San Antonio de los Cobres, a village high in the Andes in the Puna region of Argentina, appear to have developed a way of dealing with the poison more effectively. For close to 11,000 years the indigenous population there, who are descended from the Atacame\u00f1os people, have been drinking water contaminated with arsenic. Dr Karin Broberg, a researcher in environmental medicine at Lunds University in Sweden, and her colleagues found that some time between 7,000 and 10,000 years ago, the local populations in the region underwent some genetic changes", "summary": "Locals in San Antonio de los Cobres, Argentina have resistance to poison .

The Department of Homeless Services spends $360 million a year housing nearly 12,000 homeless families with children in largely privately-run shelters described as decrepit and dangerous in the Department of Investigation report released on Thursday. 'At its worst, DHS is turning a blind eye to violations that threaten the lives of shelter residents,' the report said, calling for repairs, stiffer inspections and new mechanisms to compel fixes. The shocking findings included one family of six living in a homeless-shelter apartment where a dead rat festered on the floor for two days (stock photo) The shocking findings included one family of six living in a homeless-shelter apartment where a dead rat festered on the floor for two days. Another family had no living-room furniture and had been without electricity for days. At a different homeless family shelter, a puddle of urine soiled the floor of the only working elevator. And at yet another, one stairway was so treacherously rusted that inspectors ordered guards to block access to it until it was repaired. To make matter worse, all those buildings are part of a system in which the department is often paying well above neighborhood market rates for apartments. The homeless services agency said it had already axed some unacceptable apartments from the system, stepped up inspections and asked for money to hire 19 new inspection staffers, among other steps. While that's progress, 'much work still needs to be done,' Department of Investigation Commissioner Mark Peters said in a statement.

Conditions in some family homeless shelters were bleakly spotlighted in December 2013, when The New York Times profiled an 11-year-old girl who lived amid mice, rotting walls and communal bathrooms in a Brooklyn shelter that no longer houses children. Mayor Bill de Blasio took office the next month and asked for an investigation. In February 2014 de Blasio announced that he was removing over 400 children from two city-owned homeless shelters - the Auburn Family Residence in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and from the Catherine Street shelter in Lower Manhattan - that inspectors had repeatedly cited for deplorable conditions.

Sarah Bradley had a successful career as a chemist at a pharmaceutical firm, but she struggled with bi-polar disorder. The 43-year-old mother told one of her son's friends that she was a 'bad person', and claimed that the boys - both aged under 12 - would be 'better off without her'. In September last year, she failed to show up for dinner with her estranged husband Adrian, and her body was later found next to the railway tracks near her home in Boxford, Berkshire. Mr Bradley told the inquest in Newbury that he had often tried to reassure his wife about her parenting skills, but she refused to accept it. He said: 'Sarah would constantly say she was a terrible mother, people like her shouldn't have children and the children would be better off without her. She had constant feelings of inadequacy as a mother. 'When she wasn't in a low mood she was the life and soul, she was a wonderful person.' The inquest heard that Mr Bradley had raised concerns about his wife's mental state, but she was discharged early from a mental health unit and doctors failed to record her husband's warnings. The couple, who both had doctorates first got together in 1995, and were married in 2001. They moved to Boxford after Mrs Bradley completed her chemistry PhD at Bristol University and started working for Bayer, a multi-national pharmaceutical company. However, they separated in February last year after Mrs Bradley's bouts of depression became more and more severe. The inquest was told that the pair had been due to meet up for dinner with their children on the day that she died, and that she may have chosen this moment to kill herself because she knew her sons were safe with their father. When she did not turn up Mr Bradley rushed around to the family home where he found her keys in the front door, her car missing and 14 letters arranged on the dining room table addressed to friends and family.

The Prime Minister said he 'made no apology' for claims that Labour would increase taxes on working families by more than \u00a33,000 over the next five years \u2013 despite the Tory estimate being criticised by economists and dismissed as 'made up' by Labour. But Mr Cameron refused to say how he would deliver \u00a312billion in savings from the welfare budget which he has claimed are needed to avoid tax rises. David Cameron this morning accused Labour of planning to 'pick you pocket' if they are elected in May . On the first full day of campaigning, the PM said Labour was planning to hike taxes on businesses on families to reduce the deficit instead of making savings from government spending. It came as Labour risked a new clash with business by pledging to reverse the Government's cut in corporation tax just weeks after it is due to come into effect. Shadow chancellor Ed Balls said the move would enable them to throw a lifeline to smaller firms - cutting business rates on 1.5 million small firms - rather than the big companies which benefit from the reduction in corporation tax. But the Conservatives warned that it could lead to the loss of almost 100,000 jobs, putting economic security at risk, 'for the sake of making a political point'. Mr Cameron meanwhile promised that the Conservatives would help business create another two million jobs over the course of the next parliament if they are returned to Downing Street. The PM said the election was 'a choice about whether you want a government that will find savings and not pick your pocket or with Labour a government that will pick your pocket, I think, on a pretty frequent basis.' The Institute for Fiscal Studies yesterday challenged Mr Cameron's claim of a \u00a33,000 tax hike under Labour, saying the party's plans did not suggest a rise of anything like that scale and that Conservative plans implied a larger overall package of spending cuts or tax rises. Ed Miliband has accused the Tories of using 'made up figures' Asked about the \u00a33,000 figure, the Prime Minister told the BBC: 'I think it's a totally fair assumption.

Ermert wrote that 'incorrect coding on her computer record' meant she continued to receive benefit payments 'even though her income exceeded the level at which they ceased to be payable'. A woman received $94,219.84 more than she was eligible for from Centrelink over 10 years due to a computer error . In early 2011, the woman reported to Centrelink that her and her partner's estimated combined annual income had increased to $274,479. However a senior practitioner confirmed that she was still eligible to continue receiving the same rate of Family Tax Benefit, Child Care Benefit and Schoolkids Bonus. It was not until April of 2014 that a Centrelink worker noticed the error and ordered the woman to repay a total of $94,219.84 worth of debts. Despite the woman admitting that 'a debt recovery plan would not cause her financial hardship', she challenged the decision, claiming that 'she was not responsible for debts caused by the Department's errors.' The Administrative Appeals Tribunal of Australia has ordered that she must repay $17,248.18 . The Tribunal documents stated that she 'answered consistently that she noticed nothing untoward about the level of benefits until 2011, when her husband's salary increased significantly, giving them more disposable income. 'It was then that she raised the issue with Centrelink. Up to that time she trusted the Department to make the correct payments.' While the errors were recognised as being solely the governments fault, the Tribunal still ruled that she had to repay the $17,248.18 that she received from 2012 onward due to legislation regarding timeframes. Repayments for over $77,000 that she received before 2012 were waived.", "summary": "The woman was overpaid for 10 years due to an error by Centrelink .

+{"article": "A British clairvoyant warned Abraham Lincoln that his life was in danger weeks before he was assassinated, a historian claims. It is thought Charles Colchester, a medium who was close to the first lady, told the president of the threat in the early months of 1865. Lincoln was shot dead by actor John Wilkes Booth as he watched a play in a private box at Ford's Theatre, Washington DC, on the night of April 14 that year. Assassinated: An illustration shows John Wilkes Booth shooting President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. Clairvoyant Charles Colchester had become close to first lady Mary Todd Lincoln, pictured centre . But while Colchester may have been passing on the information as a mystic warning, it is likely the information came directly from the assassin - who was also his drinking companion. Colchester's relationship with the president has been well-document, but until now historians have not connected him with Booth, Professor Terry Alford writes in Fortune's Fool, a new biography of the assassin, according to The Times. The medium became known to the Lincoln family after he was summoned by first lady Mary Todd Lincoln when she was looking to communicate with her dead 11-year-old son, Willie. Colchester, the illegitimate son of a duke, impressed Mrs Lincoln and was invited to hold a number of seances at the White House and the Soldiers' Home, the president's summer retreat. Warning: Abraham Lincoln, was told his life was in danger weeks before his death, it is claimed . But while he became important to the first lady, it appears he was unable to convince the president of his powers, writes Professor Terry Alford. On one occasion the president asked Joseph Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute, to investigate how Colchester was able to summon noises in different parts of a room - evidence, he claimed, of his ability to communicate with spirits. Mr Henry was forced to report that he was unable to find an explanation. (It was later discovered Colchester had an electrical noise-maker strapped to his bicep). His close relationship to the first lady allowed Colchester to become part of the Washington social scene. It was there he met Booth and the two men became friends, writes Professor Alford. 'They would go out and get drunk together,' he told The Times. In the weeks before the assassination, Booth was staying at the National Hotel - less than six blocks from Ford's Theatre. Colchester visited him there often, writes Alford. In early 1865 Booth abandoned his plan to kidnap Lincoln and decided instead to assassinate him. He shared his plot with a number of trusted friends in Washington, but it is not clear whether Booth was one of them. What is known is that, in April 1865 - the month of the assassination - another friend urged the president to be mindful of his personal safety, Lincoln replied: 'Colchester has been telling me that'.

The sister of convicted football rapist Ched Evans is set to appear on the next series of Big Brother, it has been reported. Kylie Evans, 30, who has drawn public condemnation in the past after appearing on television to defend her sibling, was apparently selected after being fast-tracked through the early phases. Ms Evans, a mother, allegedly plans to use the appearance to try to convince the public of Ched's innocence after he served time in jail for rape. She caused outrage when she appeared on ITV's This Morning alongside Ched's girlfriend Natasha Massey, to claim her brother was innocent while he was still behind bars. According to The Sun, Ms Evans was fast tracked through the early auditioning phases after securing the services of a professional agent. Endemol, the TV production company behind the Channel 5 reality show, could not be reached for comment on the controversy. Ched Evans has been trying to restart his career as a footballer ever since he was sacked by old club Sheffield United after being convicted of rape in 2012. Evans was found guilty after he went to a hotel room in Rhyl, south Wales, after being messaged by fellow footballer Clayton McDonald saying he had 'got a bird'. Once there Evans had sex with the girl, who says she has no memory of the incident. Evans claims the sex was consensual, but a jury ruled otherwise. McDonald was acquitted, but Evans was jailed for five years. He was released late last year while continuing to protest his innocence. It was believed that Sheffield United were planning to sign him again for \u00a3500,000, but after a public outcry the club said it had no plans to hire him again. A proposed move to Oldham Athletic also fell apart due to negative media coverage, and Evans has yet to find another club which will take him. Evans pictured in Cheshire yesterday with his fianc\u00e9e Natasha Massey, apparently wearing a solid gold Rolex . He continues to protest his innocence, largely via a website set up and funded by the millionaire father of his girlfriend, to whom he is now engaged. The footballer's sister has been one of his most outspoken supporters since his conviction, and has publicly challenged high-profile figures who oppose his return to football. After Sky Sports presenter Charlie Webster threatened to resign as a patron of Sheffield United if they took Evans back, his sister called her a 'hypocrite' because Ms Webster had previously written positively about convicted rapist Mike Tyson.

My kidney stone took me by surprise \u2014 I only discovered I had one after I collapsed with an unrelated condition last November. I run a 3D printing company which makes bones out of plaster of Paris for surgeons to use as practice models for complex orthopaedic operations. During a presentation to surgeons, I was suddenly floored by an agonising pain radiating across my lower stomach. I was taken to Southampton General Hospital, where I was shocked to learn I had an appendicitis. My appendix was removed that night. However, scans also revealed a large stone in my right kidney. Despite its size \u2014 3.5cm by 2.5cm \u2014 it had given me none of the usual symptoms, such as pain or blood in the urine. Apparently it had developed because I had a kidney infection, which I didn\u2019t even realise. The doctors said it might grow even bigger, so I was told I\u2019d need further surgery to cut out the stone. It was a lot to take in while also facing having my appendix removed. But I\u2019ve had operations on my knees, back and for hernias, and after my appendix agony I didn\u2019t want even more pain from a growing stone. After they removed my appendix, I began wondering whether 3D technology might be helpful with my kidney operation. I discussed it with my consultant, urological surgeon Bhaskar Somani, suggesting that a life-size model of my kidney with the stone inside might give him accurate information about my operation. After he collapsed, John (pictured) was taken to Southampton General Hospital where he was diagnosed with appendicitis and had his appendix removed . He\u2019d heard of 3D being used in orthopaedic operations such as hip replacements but, as far as he knew, it hadn\u2019t been used with this kind of procedure.

I wasn\u2019t due to have the stone removed until January this year, so, after taking two weeks off work to recover from the appendix operation, I began work on the model.

Janmaat can also play in the centre of the defence but he's most threatening down the right where his crosses would cause havoc to any rearguard. Creative player too. Centre half: Ryan Shawcross (Stoke City) Would surely have been an England regular if he played for a more glamorous club than Stoke. Better than Gary Cahill or Phil Jagielka, less injury-prone than Phil Jones. This team is so crammed with attacking talent, the two centre-halves are in purely to defend. And they're good at that.

+{"article": "Taking statins (pictured) can increase your chance of developing diabetes by up to 46 per cent, research has shown . Taking statins can increase your chance of developing diabetes by up to 46 per cent, research has shown. The cholesterol-lowering drugs are thought to prevent the hormone insulin from working properly, which can trigger type 2 diabetes. The risk, which is far higher than previously believed, has prompted fresh concern about the side effects of the pills. The findings are particularly worrying as last year the NHS recommended that up to 17million adults should be on statins to prevent heart attacks and strokes. The drugs\u2019 rationing body NICE published guidance last July urging GPs to prescribe them to anyone with a 10 per cent risk of developing heart disease in a decade. This represents around 40 per cent of adults in the UK, and academics said the advice was \u2018foolhardy\u2019 when so little was known about the side effects. In the latest study, scientists from the University of Eastern Finland studied 8,749 men aged 45 to 73 over a six-year period. Just under a quarter were taking statins when the study started. Some had only been on the pills for a few months, others for several years. Over the course of the study, the scientists found that taking statins increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 46 per cent. Their research, published in the journal Diabetologia, found that statins reduced the ability of insulin to break down blood sugar. This is known as insulin sensitivity, and was on average 24.3 per cent lower in men who were taking statins. The cholesterol-lowering drugs are thought to prevent the hormone insulin from working properly, which can trigger type 2 diabetes . The researchers believe that if insulin does not break down blood sugar, and the body\u2019s sugar levels rise too high, then it can trigger type 2 diabetes. They concluded: \u2018Statin therapy was associated with a 46 per cent increased risk of type 2 diabetes. 'The association of statin use with increased risk of developing diabetes is most likely directly related to statins decreasing both insulin sensitivity and secretion.\u2019 Dr Aseem Malhotra, a consultant cardiologist in London, said that contrary to the NHS guidance, healthy adults should not be taking statins, adding: \u2018I personally wouldn\u2019t take it or recommend it to friend or family member who is otherwise healthy but let them make up their own minds after giving them all the information. \u2018Eating a handful of nuts or four tablespoons of olive oil may be a more effective way at reducing risk of a heart attack, stroke or death and without the side effects.\u2019 Professor Peter Weissberg, Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation, said healthy patients prescribed statins to prevent heart disease should take the \u2018lowest possible dose\u2019. He went on to warn that people with existing heart conditions should not stop taking the pills, saying: \u2018It is important that people taking statins because of existing cardiovascular disease should continue to take them as the benefits will outweigh the risks.\u2019", "summary": "Stains are thought to prevent the hormone insulin from working properly .

+{"article": "Interest rates are unlikely to rise until the middle of next year as the Bank of England tries to stave off a deflationary spiral, economists said last night. Official figures revealed the inflation rate fell to 0 per cent last month \u2013 the lowest level since 1960. Experts warned Britain is now just one month away from deflation as food and petrol prices continue to tumble. The dramatic fall in the cost of goods is likely to push back the timing of an interest rates hike by the Bank of England. Delaying a rates rise would mean continued rock-bottom interest rates for mortgage borrowers, but more misery for savers. The base rate has been held at a historic low 0.5 per cent for six years but the Bank of England has admitted that, far from raising rates, it could even cut them further to avoid prolonged deflation. Lower rates would encourage people to spend, rather than save, stimulating demand and pushing up prices. Ben Brettell, senior economist at stockbrokers Hargreaves Lansdown, said: \u2018It appears interest rates will be stuck at 0.5 per cent for some time yet \u2013 I don\u2019t see them rising until mid-2016 at the very earliest.

Estimates released by the Office for National Statistics show the last time inflation was below 0 per cent was March 1960 \u2013 when Harold Macmillan was Prime Minister and The Beatles had just formed in Liverpool. The last major bout of deflation came during the Great Depression from 1929 to 1932.

On Tuesday night, he scored twice against Mackay\u2019s Wigan for the second time this season to send Watford top of the Championship and a step nearer the Premier League. It was the sixth game in a row that Deeney has been on the scoresheet, muscling in to beat Ali Al-Habsi with a header nine minutes into the second half and then converting a penalty in stoppage time.

Animal rights campaigners said camera flashes were extremely distressing for the birds, which have highly sensitive eyes. They are also kept in small cages for long periods and forced to perform \u2018demeaning\u2019 tricks, a report added. Undercover footage shows birds chewing at their tethers and shaking their heads, apparently in alarm. A Harry Potter tour that keeps owls in cages and allows fans to touch them is 'cruel' and 'demeaning', animal rights campaigners have claimed . Secret footage obtained by the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) at the end of February shows how the owls are treated at The Making of Harry Potter tour . The owls are part of Warner Brothers\u2019 Making of Harry Potter tour in Leavesden, Hertfordshire. In the books and films, Harry Potter has a pet snowy owl called Hedwig that was given to him as a birthday gift by gamekeeper Hagrid. Among its tasks was to fly into Hogwarts School to deliver Harry\u2019s letters. At the studio tour, which costs \u00a333 for an adult ticket, fans can meet \u2018Hedwig\u2019 as well as other animals from the franchise. The owls are a hit with visitors, many of whom take pictures with the birds to post on social media. But People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) said flashes from cameras terrified the owls, while trainers encouraging people to stroke the birds left them agitated. The owls also perform tricks - like picking up a 'passport' with their beak - in front of crowds . The charity launched an undercover investigation after receiving complaints from concerned visitors to the attraction. It has called for the tour to stop using live animals. In a letter to Warner Brothers, Peta\u2019s Yvonne Taylor said: \u2018The \u201ctrainers\u201d supervising the tour showed gross negligence both in handling the birds and in ensuring public safety. As well as the tricks, they actively encouraged flash photography. \u2018Owls have especially acute vision and find blinding camera flashes extremely distressing \u2013 this can be seen in Peta\u2019s footage as they respond by desperately chewing at their tethers and shaking their heads. \u2018A trainer cajoled people to touch the frightened birds, ignoring signs telling people not to ... as well as being stressful for the owls this also interferes with the natural oils in their feathers that keep them warm.\u2019 A lot of the owls at the tour are tethered to posts. The findings have prompted PETA to send a letter to Warner Brothers, which runs the tour, calling on the company to commit to a ban on using live animals . A tour spokesman said: 'The owls' welfare is of paramount importance to us and they are exclusively handled by the experts at Birds & Animals which owns and trains them' Harry Potter author JK Rowling has previously warned against keeping owls, saying: \u2018If anybody has been influenced by my books to think an owl would be happiest shut in a small cage and kept in a house, I would like to", "summary": "Owls also lined up on posts at The Making of Harry Potter tour .

A New Hampshire ex-official believed to be the first transgender person elected to a state legislature was charged on Thursday with calling in a bomb threat to a hospital, police said. Police arrested 31-year-old Stacie Laughton of Nashua on Thursday following the February 27 threat to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center. Police evacuated the building but found no suspicious device. An investigation led police to issue a warrant for Laughton's arrest; the Nashua resident complied. Calls weren't being accepted Thursday at a phone listed for Laughton. In 2012, Laughton was elected to the state House of Representatives but never took the seat, resigning after reports of a prior felony conviction raised questions about Laughton's legal ability to serve. The state's Ballot Law Commission denied Laughton's request to run again last year, saying Laughton's 2008 convictions for identity fraud and falsifying evidence disqualified the would-be candidate until 2018, when a suspended sentence ends. Laughton was charged on Thursday with making a false report regarding explosives, a felony that can bring up to 7 years in prison if convicted. Laughton was released on $50,000 bond and is due back in court in April. Laughton expressed remorse for alleged actions and blamed them on an untreated mental illness. 'I have had a mental illness my whole life, and I guess this was my worst break with it. I was untreated for a long time, and I didn't have medication,' Laughton told the New Hampshire Union Leader following her arrest. 'I wasn't trying to hurt anyone, and it was totally out of character for me. I have put a lot behind me, and I never thought I would do this in a million years,' she told the newspaper.

+{"article": "Tim Tebow, whose stint as a National Football League quarterback briefly sparked 'Tebow-mania', spent Monday trying to make a comeback in a workout for the Philadelphia Eagles. But after one day of training, Tebow left without being signed, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old who once played for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets performed for the Eagles and coach Chip Kelly in hopes of trying out for a quarterback position, a source told AP. Tim Tebow, pictured in August 20123, trained with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday in an attempt to try out for a quarterback position . Considering all the offseason moves made by Kelly, taking a look at the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner with the huge following shouldn't be a surprise. It has been speculated that Tebow could run zone-read plays better than Philadelphia's four current quarterbacks. Tebow elicited interest from millions of fans in large part for his public displays of religious faith on and off the field, a head-bowing genuflecting move on one knee that became known as 'Tebowing' in the wake of his success. In 2011, Tebow began the season as a backup with the Denver Broncos but was given a chance to start after a 1-4 start. Tebow sparked a string of come-from-behind victories and led Denver into the playoffs and an upset of Pittsburgh in the first round. But Tebow's 47-per cent pass-completion rate was the worst in the NFL that season and when the Broncos signed Peyton Manning in 2012, Tebow became expendable. He was sent to the Jets in a trade. Tebow was seldom used even as Jets starter Mark Sanchez struggled. He was released in 2013 having thrown only eight passes and run just 32 times in his lone season in New York. 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. Tebow, pictured here in August 2013, left training on Monday without signing with the Eagles. But ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter left the idea open, claiming 'We'll see if anything changes' Tebow was being assessed by an Eagles team that features Sanchez, who joined Philadelphia after his own departure from the Jets, and Sam Bradford, a quarterback who missed most of last season with a torn left knee ligament. Bradford was the second sophomore player to win the Heisman Trophy as the top college player, doing so in 2008. Tebow had been the first in 2007. 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. Schefter announced on Twitter that the Eagles decided not to sign Tebow, but left the option open. 'Tim Tebow has come and gone from Philadelphia. Team is not planning to sign him at this time. We'll see if anything changes,' he wrote.

The Commons Work and Pensions Committee warned that rules allowing people to dip into their pensions from the age of 55 could create 'unrealistic expectations' about the age at which they can afford to stop work. Reforms of pensions, which take effect next month, give savers discretion over their pensions from the age of 55, rising to 57 in 2028. Government officials warn that allowing people to start dipping into their pension by the time they reach 55 will create unrealistic impressions about when they can afford to stop working . But the committee recommended that access to retirement funds should only be granted 'five years before the state pension age'. Under the proposals, men would not be allowed to withdraw their cash until they were 60, while women would have to wait until they were 57. Dame Anne Begg, the Labour chairman of the committee, said savers would waste the tax breaks provided by the Government unless they were forced to wait until their 60s. She said: 'Our view is that, given the significant tax relief provided to pensions, increased longevity, and the importance of ensuring people do not underestimate the income needed in retirement, the minimum age at which people can access their pension saving, except on ill health grounds, should rise to five years below the state pension age.' In the report, MPs warned that the Government needs to establish a powerful new pensions watchdog to ensure people are not ripped off when they come to access their retirement savings. The Ccommittee said moves by the coalition to relax the rules on pensions meant it was more important than ever that proper protections were in place. It was scathing about the pensions industry saying it had a 'poor record' when it came to acting in the best interests of savers and needed to rebuild the trust with the public. Dame Anne Begg said savers would waste tax breaks provided by the Government unless they were forced to wait until their 60s . As a result of reforms announced by Chancellor George Osborne in his last Budget, from next month savers will no longer be required to buy an annuity - providing a regular annual income - when they cash in their pension pot. The committee said that while the measure had the potential to encourage more retirement saving by making it more attractive, there were also dangers involved. 'There are also significant risks for individuals from the new freedoms,' it said. 'These include: failing to make provision for the whole period of retirement or making decisions resulting in insufficient income in retirement; and exposure to fraudulent, mis-sold or detrimental financial products.'

But tiny songbird the blackpoll warbler routinely undertakes non-stop flights of up to 1,700 miles across open ocean, scientists have confirmed. The heroic journeys are 'on the brink of impossibility', according to one of the researchers who attached tracking devices to 40 birds. Long journey: The blackpoll warbler routinely undertakes flights of up to 1,700 miles, flying without stopping to rest, eat or drink across the Atlantic . Experts had long wondered about tantalising clues that suggested the warbler was capable of epic migrations between North and South America. Now they have proof that it really does fly without stopping to rest, eat or drink across the Atlantic. Unlike other migratory songbirds travelling south for the winter, the warbler ignores the safe option of hugging the coastline through Mexico and Central America. Instead it risks death by flying hundreds of miles from land even though it cannot land on water and live. Nice flight: A blackpoll warbler wearing a miniature tracking device . US scientists were astonished when they analysed data from some of the birds they tracked from New England and Canada to the Caribbean, Venezuela and Colombia. Dr Bill DeLuca, from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said: 'It was pretty thrilling to get the return birds back, because their migratory feat in itself is on the brink of impossibility. 'When we accessed the locators, we saw the blackpolls' journey was indeed directly over the Atlantic. The distances travelled ranged from 1,410 to 1,721 miles.' He added: 'For small songbirds, we are only just now beginning to understand the migratory routes that connect temperate breeding grounds to tropical wintering areas. 'We're really excited to report that this is one of the longest non-stop over-water flights ever recorded for a songbird, and finally confirms what has long been believed to be one of the most extraordinary migratory feats on the planet.' For the study, published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, the scientists captured 20 birds in Vermont and another 20 in Nova Scotia and fitted them with geolocator packs. The devices, each about the size of a 5p piece, were attached using leg harnesses, much like a rucksack. Too small to house GPS receivers, they operated by means of 'solar geolocation' - a method used for centuries by mariners and explorers. It is based on the fact that day length varies with latitude and the time of solar noon - when the sun is at its highest point in the sky - varies with longitude.", "summary": "Blackpoll warbler undertakes non-stop flights of up to 1,700 miles .

So-called 'range anxiety' is a fear that has apparently plagued some owners of Tesla\u2019s Model S vehicle, but now CEO Elon Musk has revealed he has a solution. In a tweet he said he would reveal a way to tackle the issue at a conference on Thursday, and while no further details are known, it seems the smart money may be on either navigation software that shows the best route to a charging station or an update that boosts the car's battery power. California-based Tesla is to announce a software update on Friday. Elon Musk revealed it would be for the 'entire Model S fleet' in a tweet. This suggests it may be a trick to boost the battery power of the car (Model S pictured in a promotional shot). Others have suggested it could be new turn by turn navigation software .

Earlier this month Ford unveiled its latest app that not only shows how far you can travel on the power you have remaining, it bases its predictions on your unique driving style. The MyFord Mobile also lets drivers remotely access their vehicles meaning they can set the cabin temperature on a cold morning before they leave their house. The app was announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and currently works with a selection of Ford\u2019s electric and hybrid cars. That Musk says this is a software update seemingly rules out one theory, namely more of Tesla\u2019s \u2018supercharger\u2019 stations being added. However, the fact that it affects the entire Model S fleet may also pour cold water on the \u2018turn by turn navigation\u2019 theory. This is because not every car has the ability to have such a feature, so unless Musk is planning to upgrade those that are not with new hardware, this may seem unlikely. Several outlets have been reporting that the answer may lie in some trickery with the car\u2019s software that can boost the battery power. In a survey for Consumer Reports in 2012, 77 per cent of respondents said limited range was their biggest concern with electric cars. The official range of the Model S at the moment is up to 310 miles (500km), which is apparently not enough to quell range anxiety for some drivers.

If Nibali does take part it will be the first time the dominant four Grand Tour winners have all raced in the same WorldTour event, RCS Sport said.

Emmanuel Jesus Rangel-Hernandez, 19, was arrested last month in connection to a triple-homicide in Charlotte, North Carolina, that claimed the lives of aspiring model Mirjana Puhar, 19, her 23-year-old boyfriend Jonathan Alvarado, and 21-year-old Jusmar Isiah Gonzaga-Garcia. His alleged accomplice, 19-year-old David Ezequel Lopez, was taken into custody Thursday and jailed on three counts of first-degree murder. Scroll down for video . Dreamer: Emmanuel Jesus Rangel (right), 19, charged with the murder of America's Next Top Model contestant Mirjana Puhar (right), was supposed to be deported in 2012 but was granted amnesty . According to a statement released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, and GOP Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Rangel was permitted to stay in the country under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Records indicate Rangel, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, was placed in the removal process by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement after being charged with drug violations in March 2012. On December 18, 2012, however, removal proceedings were dismissed because Rangel was approved for deferred action under the DACA policy, despite his suspected affiliation with a street gang, of which ICE was allegedly aware. 'Accomplice': Second suspect David Lopez, 19, charged with three counts of first-degree murder in deaths of Mirjana Puhar, Jonathan Alvarado and Jusmar Isiah Gonzaga-Garcia . \u2018This raises serious concerns about USCIS\u2019s review and approval of other DACA applicants and points to potential vulnerabilities in the system\u2019 Senators Grassley and Tillis wrote in a letter sent in February to the Department of Homeland Security requesting information about Rangel\u2019s status. Under the amnesty program, which was enacted by President Obama's executive action, more than 675,000 young immigrants since August 2012 have been granted a work permit and reprieve from deportation. Republicans have long decried Obama's executive immigration as a form of backdoor amnesty that circumvents Congress. Homeland Security Department documents say participation in the program can be revoked at any time. US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which approves applications, reported to the House Judiciary Committee last year the government stripped that protection from 113 people as of August. The revocations included one case of gang membership, one aggravated assault, 11 driving-under-the-influence cases and 11 errors by USCIS, according to the committee. As recently as last week, 15 criminal immigrants protected form deportation under DACA were arrested in raid carried out by federal agents. On Thursday, a second suspect, David Ezequel Lopez, 19, was charged with killing the former America's Next Top Model contestant, her boyfriend and another man, in what police were calling a drug-related attack. Lopez voluntarily came to police headquarters to be interviewed. He was then transported to the Mecklenburg County Jail.

The first involved more than 2,000 young people in Florence, May's adopted home city. Ex-Italy boss Arrigo Sacchi, pictured in 1996, said there's 'too many black players, even in the youth teams' The Italian media has had a reputation for ignoring racist incidents in its football, but May believes that has changed, shown by the coverage given to the Tavecchio and Sacchi remarks, as well as the actions of Kevin-Prince Boateng who led his AC Milan team-mates off the pitch after being abused in a friendly. Even so, Sacchi's comments in particular were hard for May to take. 'I was shocked and disappointed - he's a big name in Italy and it didn't exactly help our cause,' she added. The events around the Italy vs England match will mainly target registered players aged between 10 and 18, and will include educational programmes in regional schools, a talk show targeted at teenagers plus a social media campaign.

+{"article": "An extremist preacher who defended the Charlie Hebdo massacre just hours after the attacks were carried out has branded taxpayer-funded deradicalisation schemes a 'scam'. Mizanur Rahman, 32, was sent on a programme aimed at turning him away from extreme views after he was released from prison three years into a six-year sentence for soliciting murder. The cleric was jailed in 2007 after calling for soldiers to be brought back from Iraq in body bags but claims he then spent most his time in the Government's deradicalisation programme playing pool. Mizanur Rahman was jailed for six years in 2007 after calling for British soldiers to be killed in Iraq . He told BBC Radio 5 Live: 'Basically I would go there and play pool. There were a couple of people there who were in prison with me. We used to catch up and play pool, then go home. 'Sometimes I wouldn't even do that. I would just show my face then go home. I think I probably had a conversation once or twice in the whole period. 'It's just a scam - the whole thing is a money-making scheme. They are making a lot of money from the Government and actually doing nothing with it.' The outspoken preacher has been responsible for a string of extremist and inflammatory statements. During his trial at the Old Bailey, a film was shown in which he told a crowd of 300 protesters: 'We want to see them coming home in body bags. We want to see their blood running in the streets of Baghdad.' He added: 'We want to see the Mujahideen shoot down their planes the way we shoot down birds, we want to see their tanks burn in the way we burn their flags.' Rahman also had placards calling for the annihilation and beheading of those who insulted Islam. Just recently he backed the Paris massacres hours after the bloody events unfolded and told his followers 'Britain is the enemy of Islam'. He defended the brutal murder of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo offices, saying: 'Insulting Islam... they can\u2019t expect a different result.' Set up in 2005 in the wake of the London bombings, the Government's Prevent strategy attempts to 'deradicalise' or soften extremist views. However, it has been widely condemned as failing, and with an approximate budget of \u00a340million per year, an extremely expensive one. Under the programme, the Government works with mosques and religious groups to reinforce anti-jihad messages, while social workers, psychologists and medical experts counsel radicals. However, the programme has been widely condemned. Among the issues plaguing the initiative is the impossibility to assess its effectiveness as well as its potential to create an 'us and them' mindset in the communities it targets, and stigmatise Muslims. Experts warned the sermon, which backed the jihadists who killed 17 people over three days in the French capital, could incite further killings. The Government's Prevent strategy, which aims to tackle radicalisation, has come under the spotlight after hundreds of Britons travelled to Syria to fight alongside Islamic State.

But scientists say to really understand an area's weight problems you need to go underground into the grimy depths of the sewage network. Here, they claim, raw waste can be analysed to reveal the urban 'microbiome', offering glimpses into disease trends on a wider scale. Humans harbour tremendous amounts of bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract and gut bacteria. Lifestyle differences can alter the human gut microbiome, and microbial community composition of an individual with obesity. Now scientists say this community can be analysed from a community's sewage system . Studies of the human microbiome, the collection of trillions of microbes living in and on the human body, have gained traction during the last decade. Scientists are hoping to identify a 'healthy microbiome' by finding one or more bacterial community types that may be linked with healthy individuals. In a recent study by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, sewage samples were collected from 71 cities across the US. According to the researchers, a microbial study of that sewage helped them predict each city's obesity rates with 81 to 89 per cent accuracy. The skinniest city sampled was Steamboat Springs, Colorado, with an obesity rate of 13.5 per cent, while the heaviest was St. Joseph, Missouri, with a rate of 37.4 per cent. While scientists have known this for some time, this is the first study to reveal the same holds true when these microbiomes are mixed together in the sewage network. Using computer power, the team were able to to rapidly sequence microbial populations and look for patterns in the results . This is because humans harbour tremendous amounts of bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract and gut bacteria.

In fact as well as gold, faeces contains platinum, silver and other metals along with rare elements such as palladium and vanadium. Researchers now hope to 'mine' sewage reducing the need to mine raw metals from the ground, while reducing pollution by recycling human waste. Previous research estimated the waste from one million Americans could contain as much as $12 million (\u00a38.7 million) worth of metals. In 1999 the UK produced over 1,130,000 tonnes of sludge dry solids. If Britain's waste was mined it could be worth $762 million (\u00a3510 million) a year. Dr Kathleen Smith of the US Geological Survey said: 'If you can get rid of some of the nuisance metals that currently limit how much of these biosolids we can use on fields and forests, and at the same time recover valuable metals and other elements, that's a win-win.'

A woman has been spared jail despite being caught with more than 600 indecent images of babies and children and pornographic images of animals when she was just 17. Amy Hickson, now 20, of Alresford, Hampshire, pleaded guilty at Winchester Crown Court to 13 offences which involved many of the sick images being stored as a Powerpoint presentation. She had also made Google and Youtube searches for child abuse images, the court heard. Judge Susan Evans said: 'There are babies in these images, two-year-olds, three-year-olds, four and five-year-olds. They are not all young children, but there are some very young children so it does make it very serious indeed.' She added: 'Theses children are the victims and people do not know what happens to them. But I know for sure they suffer serious physical and emotional damage from what they suffer in these appalling pictures.' The offences are made up of eight charges of making indecent photos of a child, one charge of a pseudo image of a child and two counts of possessing prohibited images of children. Hickson also pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing 16 'extreme, disgusting or obscene' pornographic images involving animals - including dogs, being abused and tortured. She was sentenced to a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years. She was also ordered to carry out 200 hours community service and attend a women's group. She was also made subject of a sex offences prevention order for five years and ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for 10 years - and pay \u00a3750 costs and a \u00a3100 victim surcharge. Dawn Hyland, prosecuting, said that the indecent images of children included 219 of category A seriousness, 185 at category B and 199 at category C. The prohibited images included 523 cartoon images portraying child abuse, Ms Hyland said. She explained that Hickson's computer was examined by the UK police in February 2013 after they were tipped off by the American authorities.

An elderly patient suffering from dementia who wandered out of a scandal-hit hospital was found dead in a ditch the next day. Violet Burton\u2019s body was discovered only a quarter of a mile from the grounds of Stoke Mandeville Hospital. She appears to have died from hypothermia, although the cause of death has not yet been made public. The hospital has begun an urgent investigation into how Mrs Burton, 79, said to be a \u2018known wanderer\u2019, was able to walk out of the hospital, wearing only a cardigan and trousers. She was reportedly seen by a member of staff but not stopped. The hospital\u2019s latest Care Quality Commission report said it \u2018required improvement\u2019 in a number of areas, including in caring for those with dementia. The watchdog\u2019s report, following an inspection in June 2014, stated: \u2018The support for patients living with dementia or who may have a learning disability was inconsistent.\u2019 It also raised concerns about staff levels, saying there was a \u2018heavy reliance\u2019 on agency staff which, in some instances, \u2018affected the delivery and continuity of patient care\u2019. Last month, the hospital, in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, was criticised in a scathing report into the actions of Jimmy Savile. It found that the disgraced BBC disc jockey had been allowed to abuse 68 victims there, including a boy of eight. Savile joined the hospital as a porter in 1968 and effectively lived there for more than 30 years. The report found that ten complaints were made about him, but none was \u2018taken seriously\u2019. Those who tried to blow the whistle were rebuked because senior managers thought Savile was an asset to the hospital. Mrs Burton, known as Vi Ann, was admitted to the hospital on March 7 after she was reportedly found wandering in her home village of Aston Clinton, which is near the hospital. She was described as a \u2018sweet lady\u2019 and was well known in the area, where she was often seen walking her 17-year-old dog. Stoke Mandeville (pictured), run by Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, said it had launched an internal review into the incident .

The official costing of Nicola Sturgeon's plans reveals they involve a massive spending spree that would have to be funded by higher taxes or even higher borrowing. The analysis, conducted by Treasury officials and signed off by the Permanent Secretary, show that spending under the SNP would be \u00a3148billion higher than forecast in this month's Budget. It came as Gordon Brown used his valedictory speech in the Commons to warn that the 'fragile' UK is 'potentially at a point of departure' in the wake of last year's referendum on Scottish independence. Scroll down for video . Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond's plans for a deal with Labour could cost Britain \u00a3148billion . The Conservatives seized on the Treasury figures as evidence that a Labour government propped up by the SNP would force Britain deeper into the red. A spokesman said taxpayers would be landed with a huge bill if the parties ended up in power. 'It is now impossible for Ed Miliband to become Prime Minister without crawling into Downing Street on the coat tails of the SNP \u2013 with Alex Salmond calling the tune,' he said. 'We now know the consequence of that will be \u00a3148billion more borrowing, higher taxes, unlimited welfare, and weaker defence.' David Cameron this week branded Ed Miliband (pictured) 'Alex Salmond's poodle' \u2013 warning that Labour would be forced to dance to the SNP's tune . Miss Sturgeon, the SNP's leader, has pledged to reverse austerity measures if she wins a share of power in May. While the Conservatives are promising to identify \u00a330billion of spending and welfare cuts, Miss Sturgeon says she would increase real-terms public spending by at least half a per cent a year to allow extra 'investment'. The Treasury analysis suggests this would lead to massive additional spending, adding to Britain's \u00a31.5trillion debt mountain. It suggests the SNP's plans would involve an extra \u00a320.7billion spending next year, an extra \u00a339.7billion in 2017-18, an extra \u00a348.8billion in 2018-19 and an extra \u00a338.3billion in 2019-20. The analysis is a blow to the SNP, whose economic credibility is already under question, but it is also a setback for Labour, which may be forced to do a deal with the nationalists who appear poised to claim dozens of Labour seats at the election. Former SNP leader Mr Salmond, who hopes to return to Westminster as kingmaker, says his party will vote down any attempt by the Tories to run a minority government after the election.

Britain's highest court narrowly ruled by three judges to two that the benefit cap restricting welfare to the equivalent of a \u00a335,000 a year salary was not unlawful. Two women forced into temporary accommodation after suffering domestic violence said the cap violated their human rights. Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, pictured in Downing Street this morning, welcomed the Supreme Court ruling . They claimed the cap disproportionately hit women, especially those trying to escape violent partners. But the Supreme Court said the cap, introduce by the Coalition government to clamp down on spiralling welfare bills, was legally okay. The benefit cap limits the amount of benefits a household can receive to \u00a3500 a week for couples and \u00a3350 a week for households of a single adult.

He added: 'I am proud to say that it is one of the most significant reforms we've implemented over the past five years. 'A key part of the long-term economic plan, the benefit cap is encouraging people to change their behaviour and motivating them to find work.' The two lone parents went to the Supreme Court, along with a representative child from each family. Their lawyers argued that the cap unjustifiably discriminated against abuse victims, who are predominantly women, and failed to have regard to the best interests of the child. Lady Hale - one of the dissenting judges - ruled that the Government had failed to take proper account of 'the best interests of the children', as it was obliged to do under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child . They said the cap substantially reduces weekly income and puts the mothers at risk of losing their safe homes. The justices hearing the case included Supreme Court deputy president Lady Hale, Lord Kerr, Lord Reed, Lord Carnwath and Lord Hughes. Lord Reed, giving the lead judgment, said he accepted that the cap was 'a proportionate means' of meeting legitimate Government aims, which include deficit reduction and incentivising parents to find work. He noted that the cap for households with children was equivalent to a gross annual salary of \u00a335,000, which is higher than the earnings of half of the UK's working households.

A move to introduce life sentences for killer drivers has been welcomed by families of victims. The new measure is one of several changes being drawn up by Justice Secretary Chris Grayling in a bid to toughen up the criminal justice system. The maximum sentence for motorists is currently 14 years and the plan to increase this limit is being welcomed by relatives of a couple run down in Bristol by a speeding driver who was already banned from the roads. Ross Simons, 34, and his wife Clare, 30, died in January 2013 when their tandem bicycle was struck by Nicholas Lovell, who had 69 driving convictions and was fleeing police at the time. Heroin addict Lovell, 38, left the couple dying by the side of the road and while awaiting sentencing bragged to other inmates that he would get away 'with four years'. He was eventually sentenced to ten and a half years for each death but was ordered to serve the punishments concurrently, meaning he would effectively only serve one sentence for both deaths. Since his trial, the Simons's families have been campaigning for tougher sentences for dangerous drivers. Speaking to The Express, Mr Simons's sister Kelly Woodruff, 33, said: 'Finally as a family we will be able to rest and be a bit more at peace when they make this change to the law. 'The purpose of our campaign has always been to try to ensure no other family has to go through what we have suffered. 'I hope this will not only help save lives by acting as a deterrent but when the worst does happen it will at least give families a sense that justice has been done, something we have never felt.' Call for tougher laws: Heroin addict Lovell, 38, left the couple dying by the side of the road and while awaiting sentencing bragged to other inmates that he would get away 'with four years' The Simons, described by friends as lovely and caring, were said to be trying for a baby and had 'everything to live for'.

However, for those seeking perfection - a runny yolk - every time, help might soon be at hand. The New Egg Company, based in Nottingham, has come up with the idea of a pre-cooked egg, which requires little more than five minutes of reheating. The downside? At \u00a31.79 per pack, it'll cost around fives times the price of a standard egg. Eggstraordinary: The Yowk is a pre-cooked egg that promises the ideal yolk every time and even comes with soldiers, salt and a spoon . Marketed as the Yowk - 'simple dippy goodness', the pasteurised egg arrives in a plastic pot having already been cooked in its shell using the 'sous vide' method favoured by many top chefs - essentially the modern equivalent of boiling in the bag. The pot lid doubles up as an egg cup, say the makers and even comes with breadsticks, salt and a spoon to eat it with. The diner simply adds boiling water to the pot and leaves it for five minutes with a perfect, runny yolk guaranteed. This new method may seem no quicker than the traditional way to boil an egg; by immersing it in a pan of water and boiling it for around four minutes. However, it could extract the potential for arguments over the best way to boil an egg. And the egg overflowth...a runny yolk is many people's idea of egg heaven . Foolproof?

New Egg Company managing director Ian Hetherington told trade journal The Grocer that the product was the result of improving on an earlier prototype called 'the Dippy Egg' back in 2013. He said: 'It didn't take off the first time but the concept was still in its infancy. 'We have undertaken a lot more testing to get the product right.'

A judge has taken the unusual step of banning a violent misogynist from all online dating sites after he punched a woman he met on the internet in the face. Judge William Gaskell told violent Karl Crimmins, 29, of Bedwas, Caerphilly, that women who replied to his online dating profile 'did not know what they were getting into'. Qualified fitter Crimmins pleaded guilty to unlawfully wounding his then-girlfriend Tina Evans in January this year - four months after meeting her through a dating site. The court heard he had been at her home in Llanrumney, Cardiff, complaining about repairs needed to his car when she made a joke and was punched in the eye by Crimmins. She needed hospital treatment and the split above her right eye had to be stitched. But it was his previous appearances before judges and magistrates which shocked the court. John Lloyd, prosecuting, said they included not only violence against women but even against one partner's five-year-old child. Mr Lloyd said in 2008 Crimmins, then in his early 20s, had assaulted a woman in Bedwas by pulling her hair and punching and grabbing her by the throat. Just over a year later, in September 2009, he was at Grays Gardens in Caerphilly when he grabbed a woman around the neck as she was holding a young baby. 'It is not known if it was the same woman but each is listed as domestic violence,' Mr Lloyd told the court. 'And the same address in Grays Gardens is given for the location of three more offences of assault in 2010 when a woman was punched and a five-year-old child had a towel placed around his neck before he was pulled off a chair, causing bruising. 'The boy was also shaken on another occasion.' In 2011 Crimmins was back before another court for what was described as an 'incident' with a partner in Blaengarw, Bridgend. Cardiff Crown Court (pictured) heard Crimmins has a long history of being violent towards his partners . Mr Lloyd said: 'They had a verbal argument over his driving and when they got home he pushed her into a cupboard under the stairs and closed the door. 'That was in October and in December he was in another argument with her when he put his arm around her neck and held her in a headlock, restricting her breathing and causing her to vomit.' Judge Gaskell said a point had been made that Crimmins managed to stay out of trouble from that time until this year. But he told him: 'It really shows how utterly contemptible you are if that is thought to be an achievement.' The court heard Crimmins (pictured) has a problem with women and 'needs to change his ways' Crimmins' own solicitor described him as a man who had a problem with women, saying: 'He's a misogynist who needs to change his ways.'

It will also start to teach them the very basics on investments and savings. 3. Let them make mistakes . It is important to give your children an allowance and let them use it as they choose. Yes, they may well make what you consider to be the wrong choice, but they will learn from those mistakes, which is important for their financial learning curve. It is better for them learn from small amounts now at a young age, rather than bigger amounts when they are older when the consequences would be far more serious. 4. Be confident .

+{"article": "The way we walk is unique when compared to our closest living relatives, the ape. But scientists are not sure when our skeleton evolved to create this distinction, which is one of the questions driving the study of human evolution today. Now, researchers believe the answer could lie in our big toes. Scientists have developed a new method of analysing long bones, such as the hallucal metatarsal - the shaft of the foot bone that links to the big toe - in order to study differences between the feet of humans and apes. The method shows structural differences in different colours, as shown above . An interdisciplinary team led by scientists at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, has combined visualisation techniques, engineering principles and statistical analysis into a new way of analysing the structure of long bones. They used it to document foot differences between humans and apes, so that variations were highlighted in a rainbow of colours. This work will be the starting point for future studies, which could investigate how far back in our evolutionary history the modern human pattern of bone structure in the hallucal metatarsal \u2013 the shaft of the foot bone that\u2019s connected to the big toe - emerged. Scientists are not sure when our skeleton evolved to create our unique walk, but they believe the answer could lie in our big toes, which we use in the propulsive phase of walking, unlike apes which use it to climb and grasp. A computer graphic showing a version of the March of Progress is pictured . Podiatrist Christopher Hunt claims that the condition of our feet can indicate health problems. They are composed of 26 major bones and joints and the way humans walk depends on the way they move in relation to each other. Beacuse of this, flat feet can indicate curvature of the spine and distorted toes can signify rheumatoid-arthritis later in life. 'A slow pulse can signify poor circulation and, for example, rolling ankles - a condition where ankles roll inwards - can show incorrect posture, which can lead to severe back pain,' he said. Returning red ulcers could indicate diabetes, which affects 1.4 million people in Britain, while discoloured feet could hint at circulatory problems. As well as offering crucial evolutionary insights into the timing and appearance of modern human gait, they believe the method will advance the study of bone biology in hominin fossils. They focused on the hallucal metatarsal in groups of modern humans, gorillas and chimpanzees, because the big toe, or hallux, plays a pivotal role during the propulsive phase of walking and running in humans. In other living apes, the big toe is more thumb-like so it can be used for grasping and climbing. Their method, which is described in the journal Plos One, allowed them to detect differences in the shape and size of the bone in the modern species, by creating images from CT scans to make a \u2018colour map\u2019 where different qualities and properties of the bone are shown in different colours.

Morde, a real-life Indiana Jones who later became a wartime U.S. spy, had been recruited by the founder of New York\u2019s prestigious Museum of the American Indian to try to find a mythical lost \u2018White City\u2019 dripping in gold that had been founded by a mysterious civilisation as great as the Aztecs and the Mayans. Adventurers had been searching for La Ciudad Blanca for centuries, ever since Spanish conquistador and explorer Hernando Cortes conquered Central America in the early 16th century and heard rumours of its riches. But it remained hidden for hundreds of years until Morde insisted he had found it deep in the rain forests of Mosquitia, more than 32,000 square miles of hellishly inhospitable wilderness in Honduras and Nicaragua. He described how, armed only with a revolver and a machete, he and a companion named Lawrence Brown had spent four months hacking their way through \u2018almost inaccessible\u2019 jungle, swamps, rivers and mountains before coming upon a hidden valley that contained the remains of a white-stoned, walled city. There, the local Indians told him, a long-vanished people, who were contemporaries of the Ancient Mayans, had once worshipped a strange Monkey God whose giant statue was still buried under centuries of vegetation. They made bloody human sacrifices to their simian deity, then ate the victims in an act of ritualised cannibalism. Morde said that on his own brief visit he had himself seen a disturbing rite in which local natives ritually slaughtered and ate monkeys in a twisted hangover from the cult. To back his astonishing claims, Morde \u2014 who was only 29 but had already sailed around the world five times \u2014 brought back several thousand artefacts to America such as stone utensils and tiny carved monkey masks. A team of U.S. and Honduran archaeologists have announced that they have discovered the remains of what they believe to be the City of the Monkey God, in a crater-shaped rainforest valley . He never revealed the precise location of the ruined city for fear it would be looted before he could go back. However, he never returned and died mysteriously in 1954, taking the secret of its location with him. It remained a compelling mystery, seemingly lifted from the pages of H. Rider Haggard. Generations of adventurers plunged into the jungle to search for the city, and experts dismissed Morde\u2019s discovery as a self-promoting fantasy. Explorers who reported glimpsing the tops of white buildings peeking through the forest canopy were told they were just limestone cliffs.", "summary": "American explorer Theodore Morde claimed he had found mythical lost city .

The former Polish prime minister said it would be hard to find agreement among all 27 EU leaders that would satisfy Mr Cameron. He said: 'I have no doubt that we have to help in a limited and rational framework. We have to help David Cameron because he is obviously pro-European. But Mr Tusk added: 'I am sceptical when it comes to changing the treaty.' Mr Cameron wants a new Brussels treaty to nail down a series of changes allowing Britain to limit benefits for EU migrants. The PM has insisted that new rules are needed to help the crisis-hit Eurozone, giving Britain the chance to renegotiate its relationship with Brussels. But Mr Tusk said: 'My intuition is that treaty change is close to mission impossible today because it's not only about rationality, about good argument. 'We need unanimity between 28 member states, in the European parliament, in 28 national parliaments in the process of ratification. To say that it is a Pandora's Box is too little.' Mr Tusk said: 'First of all we need more precise concrete [details] about British demands. 'When we have more information about details, about legal problems, then we can decide if discussion about treaty change is at all necessary. 'For me the problem of possible treaty change is a practical question. It's not only about the arguments of Cameron. I can agree or disagree with some of them.

But during a radio interview it ditched the idea of reducing net migration to below 50,000, which had been backed by Ukip's immigration spokesman Steven Woolfe just last week. A split also emerged over the party's policy towards people with serious illnesses coming into the UK, with Mr Woolfe backing them but Mr Farage suggesting they were not welcome. Scroll down for video . Ukip leader Nigel Farage jettisoned the idea of reducing net migration to below 50,000, which had been backed by Ukip's immigration spokesman Steven Woolfe just last week . Ukip hopes to use its immigration policy as a launchpad for making gains in the election on May 7 . Mr Farage says his party would establish a migration control commission with a remit to reduce net migration into the UK. In a keynote speech, he will call for future immigration to focus on highly-skilled workers and 'our friends from the Commonwealth' as opposed to 'low-skilled, Eastern European migration'. The party has attacked David Cameron for failing to meet his promise to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands. New figures last week showed it hit almost 300,000 in the year to September. In response, Mr Woolfe said: 'We will set a cap on the number of people permitted to work and reside in the UK by introducing a fairer.' At last year's party conference, Mr Woolfe announced: 'Ukip commits to bringing UK net employment migration down to 50,000 people a year.' But Mr Farage today jettisoned the idea, claiming that under an Australian-style system it was 'very unlikely that we would need 50,000 people'. He told BBC Radio 4's programme Ukip would bring immigration levels 'back to normality', with numbers similar to those seen before 2000. But he added: 'I'm not putting caps or targets ... you need to have more flexibility than that.

The EU has recommended that 11million trees be cut down after they were found to be infected with a deadly microbe . 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. Xylella fastidiosa can also infect vines, almond trees and other crops. 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\u2019s best oils.

Many of Italy\u2019s 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. The 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. Vytenis Andriukaitis, the European Commissioner for Food Safety and Security, said he was \u2018profoundly concerned by the gravity of the situation\u2019. He added: \u2018We 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.\u2019 A committee will meet on Thursday next week to rubber stamp the directive, which growers fear will create a desert in the area as it will not be possible to replant it with olive groves.

But the night before, the city was gripped with football fever as the club created their own festival downtown. Everything was awash with the purple and gold-trimmed Orland kit. Former Everton midfielder Adrian Heath has guided Orlando City to the MLS after four years of hard work . Sunday's match will take place at Florida's Citrus Bowl, which was a venue at the 1994 USA World Cup .

In a country where American Football, basketball and ice hockey already vie for the nations' attention, he could even be forgiven for calling it 'soccer.'

At first it makes shocking reading, but when you factor in the extreme passion of football fans, the love they have for their club, and the astonishingly high regard Chelsea fans have for their captain, it all makes sense. It should be interpreted in the same way as Bill Shankly\u2019s famous quote: 'Football is not a matter of life and death, it\u2019s more important that that.' Here\u2019s another way of saying it. Chelsea will not be able to replace Terry when he finally retires. England have had to move on already. But the question remains, how on earth will Chelsea cope when the inevitable happens? Life and Chelsea Football Club will go on of course, but reflecting on yet another incredible man-of-the-match performance from Terry at Wembley, it occurred to me that he is unique. John Terry and Jose Mourinho celebrate on the Wembley pitch after Chelsea's win on Sunday . Not so long ago some were declaring Terry was finished. He couldn\u2019t train properly, we were told. He couldn\u2019t play two games in a week apparently. The truth is very different. Andre Villas-Boas' ridiculous high line ensured this over-hyped manager got the worst from Terry and made the player look vulnerable. And then Rafa Benitez arrived to seemingly finish off the destruction of arguably Chelsea\u2019s greatest ever player. Jose Mourinho has resurrected the King of Stamford Bridge. It is now a major cause for concern among Chelsea fans if Terry isn\u2019t in the starting line-up. So in playing terms, he is still the first name on the team sheet, even with the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, Nemanja Matic and Eden Hazard at the club. But the love for Terry among Chelsea fans is about so much more than him being a very good centre half. And that\u2019s why he is seemingly irreplaceable. Terry beat Hugo Lloris to score Chelsea's crucial first goal in the Capital One Cup final . The Blues captain ran off to celebrate after breaking the deadlock at Wembley... And he led the celebrations at the end as the Chelsea players partied after winning the League Cup . He came through the youth ranks, and is now a revered Chelsea captain. His team-mates respect him, and they listen to him. The fans still idolise him. The football world laughed when he lifted the Champions League trophy with his full kit on despite being suspended for that final. But most if not all Chelsea fans understood it. Terry was a huge part of that journey, and in their minds he belonged on that podium, he deserved the champagne, and he deserved to be wearing the shirt that night as the celebrations began. The cynics and critics will go on and on about Terry\u2019s indiscretions \u2013 some alleged, some not. He\u2019s far from perfect of course, a bit like the rest of us.

We all find noise annoying \u2013 but if it really bothers you it could be because you're a genius. Being overly sensitive to sound could have been the key to the creativity of geniuses like Charles Darwin and Franz Kafka \u2013 who both complained of their difficulty of filtering out noise \u2013 research has revealed. Psychologists now believe that an inability to shut out irrelevant sensory information could be strongly linked to creativity. French writer Marcel Proust was famous for wearing earplugs and lining his bedroom with cork to block out the outside sound while he worked. And Kafka once said 'I need solitude for my writing; not \"like a hermit\" - that wouldn't be enough - but like a dead man.' Darwin and write Anton Chekhov were also known to have complained about how they found it difficult to filter out noise. Scientists at Northwestern University, Illinois, tested 100 people on their ability to find original solutions to problems and found strong links between an inability to shut out irrelevant audio stimuli, dubbed 'leaky' sensory gating, and creativity. In tests 100 people were provided solutions to scenarios, with the challenge of coming up with as many original answers as possible. This was designed to measure their level of 'real world creative achievement'. The findings, published in the journal Neuropsychologia, suggest those with the affliction might find it easier to think creatively as they can focus on a wide range of things simultaneously.

Since the turn of the millennium and the establishment of a hierarchy within the top flight \u2014 meaning more points are distributed higher up the table \u2014 the average of the club finishing third from bottom has been a shade above 35.

That being the case, you can assume that every team upwards of 13th-placed West Brom, on 33 points, will be feeding off the Premier League cash cow come August. Indeed, this weekend saw the bottom six all lose and a points-per-game projection would have all of them finishing the campaign on fewer than 36.

World-record signing Bale had not scored in the nine games preceding the clash with Levante and had been the target of plenty of boos and whistles around the Santiago Bernabeu stadium; and following his opening goal on 18 minutes, the winger made a point of venting his frustration, covering his ears and kicking the corner flag.

A British scientist trying to reveal what the human brain looks like on LSD is asking the public to fund his research after official channels refused. In the controversial study, 20 British volunteers will be the first in the world to have their brains scanned while high on LSD. Early results are said to be 'exciting' but the full findings must wait until funding can be found to complete the research. The research, being conducted at Cardiff University, is being led by the former drugs tsar David Nutt. Professor Nutt was sacked from his job as the Government's chief adviser on drugs in 2009 after saying saying ecstasy and LSD were less harmful than alcohol. At a briefing in London this week, he spoke out against restrictions on research on recreational drugs which he called 'the worst censorship in the history of science'. Having been turned down by 'classic funders', he is now campaigning to raise the \u00a325,000 needed to carry out analysis of the brain scanning data from the science crowdfunding site Walacea.com. He compared current attitudes to studying recreational drugs with the Catholic church's clampdown on pioneering Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei in the 17th century. 'The only comparable example is when the Catholic church banned the telescope in 1616,' said Professor Nutt, who is based at Imperial College London. 'We've banned research on psychedelic drugs and other drugs like cannabis for 50 years. 'Truly in terms of the amount of wasted opportunity, it's way greater than the banning of the telescope. This is a truly appalling level of censorship.' The LSD study involved giving the volunteers injections of a 75 microgram dose of LSD before probing the activity of their brains. Two kinds of scans were used, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (Meg), which measures small magnetic fields generated in the brain. None of the participants reported having a bad experience, but three described some anxiety and temporary paranoia. Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, also from the Imperial College team, said the dose of LSD given to the volunteers was a 'tiny speck'. But he added: 'The effects are quite profound. It would be described as a moderate dose, but a moderate dose of LSD can still produce a profound state of consciousness. In the controversial study, 20 British volunteers will be the first in the world to have their brains scanned while high on LSD . 'I wouldn't say that it's a dangerous experiment, but I would say that LSD has potential negative effects. 'Probably the crucial one is a bad trip. It's not uncommon for people to have anxiety during a psychedelic drug experience .. the experience can be nightmarish at times. 'What's especially intriguing.. is that people can have a very challenging experience yet afterwards they seem to be somehow psychologically refreshed by the experience. That's how they describe it.' He said there had been no evidence of psychedelic", "summary": "David Nutt was sacked from his post of the Government's chief adviser on drugs after saying saying ecstasy and LSD were less harmful than alcohol .

In a sport dominated by statistics there were plenty that were pointing towards a home victory with India having beaten Australia just once in 13 previous meetings at the Sydney Cricket Ground. With the sub-continental side having continually suffered at the hands their opponents since arriving in the Southern Hemisphere in late November, Australia looked strong favourites.

+{"article": "This morning observers across Europe were treated to a rare solar eclipse as the moon passed across the face of the sun and obscured it almost entirely from view. But while many, in the UK especially, had to contend with clouds, plenty of images captured the event \u2013 and an odd black spot on the sun. While it might have looked like a speck of dust at first, this was actually a sunspot on the solar surface, caused by a concentration of magnetic fields. Scroll down for video . People in the UK were treated to a partial solar eclipse this morning. But several observers spotted some strange black dots on the sun (shown). These were sunspots, caused by concentrations of magnetic fields. They are sometimes associated with eruptions such as solar flares . Sunspots are fairly common, with the number on the surface correlating with how active the sun is. They occur when a concentration of magnetic fields causes the surface temperature to reduce, making a specific section stand out from the surroundings. They range hugely in size, from just 10 miles (16km) to 100,000 miles (160,000km) - big enough to be seen from Earth without a telescope, and more than ten times the size of our planet. Sunspots are regions where powerful magnetic fields emanate from the sun . These magnetic fields can get wound up so tightly that they rise up from inside the Sun, and the sunspots mark the points where this happens. They are much colder than the rest of the sun's surface and usually last a few days before disappearing. They have a temperature of anywhere from 2,700 to 4,200\u00b0C (4,890 to 7,590\u00b0F), compared to 5,500\u00b0C (9,930\u00b0F) for the surrounding solar material, which is why they are so visible. Sunspots are also sometimes the source of eruptions on the sun, namely solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), all of which are linked to magnetic fields. The sun goes through a periodic change in activity known as a solar cycle, which has an average duration of 11 years, which also changes the frequency of sunspots. Sunspots should not be confused with coronal holes, regions of the corona - an aura of plasma around the sun - where the magnetic field reaches out into space rather than looping back down onto the surface. Sunspots (previous Nasa image shown) are fairly common, with the number on the surface correlating with how active the sun is.

Others bemoaned the cloud coverage in the UK, which meant that many observers were unable to actually see the event at all.

Goodison had used the woman as a 'mule' the court heard, as he was sentenced to 13 years in his absence. It is believed that he may now be in Jamaica or the US. He was convicted of smuggling cocaine while Williams pleaded guilty to the same charge.

'He was a man who was said to be unemployed but had significant assets.' He added that the money would have come from drug dealing. Williams, of Stockwell, south London, was also due to be sentenced. However, her barrister insisted that she had been a victim of human trafficking, so the judge adjourned her sentencing to allow more evidence to be gathered about the claims. Sentencing Goodison, Judge Blackett continued: 'He was on license for his most recent drugs offence, the drugs were of high purity and he was using Miss Williams, whatever her status, as a mule.

Though not cheap, at up to \u00a340,000, they're selling like hot cakes \u2014 largely as a company car because of the massive tax advantages. Now there's good news for those whose budgets can't stretch to one, because there's to be a smaller, mid-size sibling. The prototype XR-PHEV (Plug-in Electric Vehicle) II is a compact, lightweight SUV powered by a new hybrid electric system. Clearly aimed at top-selling Nissan Qashqai country, expect prices either side of \u00a320,000 when the production model hits the market in a couple of years' time. Mitsubishi's XR-PHEV (Plug-in Electric Vehicle) II (pictured) will cost up to \u00a340,000 (prototype pictured) Mitsubishi says of its baby PHEV: 'The system is estimated to achieve very low CO2 emissions of below 40g/km while also delivering gutsy and smooth performance with its 163bhp electric motor.' It adds that it is developing plug-in electric hybrid systems best suited to each model in its line-up with a view to introducing them in the near future. The Outlander PHEV can be charged overnight at home, run on electric-only power or operate in hybrid mode, switching automatically between petrol and electric power, depending on which is most efficient. It continues to charge itself as it runs on fossil fuel. The result is great fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. But its real benefit \u2014 and one secret of its success \u2014 is on the tax front. It would be Chancellor George Osborne's worst nightmare if everybody had one, as his tax take would plummet. Here's why: bought outright privately, the Outlander PHEV costs \u00a328,249 to \u00a339,999, which includes a taxpayer subsidy of \u00a35,000. But company car drivers can look forward to an increase in their pay packet equal to an average of more than \u00a34,000 every year, says Mitsubishi. Its twolitre petrol engine linked to two high-efficiency electric motors gives a combined range of 510 miles, of which 32.5 miles can be in pure electric mode. Average CO2 emissions are a tiny 44g/km and combined fuel efficiency is 148 mpg. But here's the rub, get one as a company car and you pay just 5 per cent 'benefit in kind' tax, compared to the 25 per cent that most business users pay. So, for example, a 40 per cent taxpayer with an Outlander PHEV GX4h with a P11D taxable benefits value of \u00a337,899 will pay just \u00a3758 in company car tax. That compares to \u00a34,301 for a Honda CRV EC 2.2 i-DTEC auto costing \u00a333,605, which is taxed at 32 per cent of its P11D value. That's equivalent to a tax saving of \u00a33,543 over a year or \u00a310,730 over three. The new prototype's big brother is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (pictured) Plus, its low CO2 emissions mean you are exempt from road tax \u2014 and in London, the congestion charge, too.

The mother-of-one began looking into alternative designs, which would use the same pump-based technology as a turkey baster - one of the more traditional at-home means of artificial insemination - but also enable the user, and their partner, to enjoy the process of impregnation. And while Ms Berman initially intended for the toy, which comes complete with a pump, to be used by lesbian couples, she explained that it will actually serve as a great fertilization aid for anyone who might not be able to get pregnant using traditional means - and who does not want to go through IVF. 'When my wife and I wanted to start a family, we thought about our options and weren\u2019t necessarily happy with any of them,' she added. 'I started thinking, what if I could recreate the technology that a turkey baster would provide, but in the form of a sex toy? 'That would be the perfect scenario - it would not only allow both partners to be really involved in the process, but it would allow for privacy and authenticity and intimacy.' Ms Berman and her wife Kiersten Marie, who used the Semenette when conceiving their one-year-old baby daughter Isabella, have received an outpouring of support and praise from a variety of people from different communities. Thus far, the entrepreneur's unique creation has been used by transgender and transsexual couples, men with erectile dysfunction and even heterosexual couples, who, Ms Berman explained, still 'enjoy the sensation' of using the Semenette.

+{"article": "A city in southern China has banned any new restaurants from making one of the region's most popular dishes in a bid to control its rising air pollution problem. Firewood chicken has become a popular delicacy in Kunming, regional capital of Yunnan Province, with dozens of restaurants springing up in the last few months to offer the dish. Local officials have decided to stop licensing new firewood chicken restaurants and ordered existing premises to burn a more environmentally friendly fuel, according to the People's Daily Online. Officials in China have banned restaurants from making firewood chicken because they believe burning lots of firewood to create the popular dish releases too many pollutants into the already smog-filled air in cities . To create the dish, large quantities of firewood are burned every day to cook chicken for around 40 minutes. A 2.5kg chicken takes between 1.5 to 2.5kg of firewood to cook. It is estimated that for a restaurant with a capacity of around 30 diners around 550kg of firewood would be burned during busy periods, and this would have a huge impact on air quality. A spokesman for Xishan District Environmental Protection Bureau said 'No new applications for firewood chicken restaurants are being accepted and this has been the case for almost a year already. 'Many entrepreneurs have recently tried to open firewood chicken restaurants but we have rejected them all.' He added that restaurants which had opened in the last year and were awaiting approval were operating illegally. Air pollution has long been a problem in China, where cities are often overcome with thick smog . Existing restaurants will now be required to use more environmentally friendly fuels, such as charcoal. China's 'Air Pollution Prevention Law' stipulates that: coal, pulverized coal, combustible waste, direct burning of biomass fuels (trees, straw, sawdust, rice husk etc) are all high-polluting fuels. The cooking process of firewood chicken comes under the new restrictions. Some restaurants in Kunming have already opted for more environmentally friendly options, with one restaurant in Guannan Road using the greener charcoal option. SouthAsia Garden Firewood Chicken Restaurant simply uses gas and serves the dish in earth pots to give it an authentic taste. China has for years been hit by heavy air pollution, caused by enormous use of coal to generate electricity to power a booming economy - the world's second largest - and more vehicles on the roads. Air pollution is increasingly acute in Chinese cities, including in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province . It has become a major source of popular discontent among Chinese citizens, leading the government to declare a 'war on pollution' and vow to reduce the proportion of energy derived from fossil fuels. Earlier this month Under the Dome, a film about the country's notorious smog, went viral with more than 155 million views in just one day.", "summary": "The city of Kunming has stopped granting licenses to new restaurants serving \u2018firewood chicken\u2019 The popular dish involves burning lots of wood, releasing harmful gasses .

+{"article": "Ian Paterson was suspended after he performed hundreds of unnecessary partial mastectomies . Hundreds of victims of a breast surgeon who carried out botched operations may never receive compensation because of a loophole in his insurance policy. Ian Paterson was suspended after he performed hundreds of unnecessary partial mastectomies on at least 250 healthy women over a 15-year period. An independent review revealed the 57-year-old also carried out 'cleavage sparing' mastectomies on at least 450 other women, in which breast tissue was left. Paterson pioneered the operations on women, leaving part of their breast behind solely for cosmetic reasons - dramatically increasing the risk of their cancer returning. More than 700 patients were recalled by the hospitals where Paterson worked, as part of the review overseen by Sir Ian Kennedy. The surgeon worked at both NHS and private hospitals across the Midlands from 1994, until he was suspended in 2012. While Paterson's NHS patients are able to pursue compensation claims through the health service's channels, it is the surgeon's private patients that are facing being left with nowhere to turn. Those who went under the knife at Spire Hospitals in Little Aston and Solihull may miss out on the compensation their lawyers say they are entitled to. Surgeons who work in private hospitals have to take out their own insurance to cover themselves against medical negligence claims. However Paterson's insurance company, the Medical Defence Union (MDU), is disputing the compensation claims. It is doing so on the basis that some of the operations carried out may have been illegal and are not included in Paterson's cover. Louise Hawkley, a medical negligence lawyer at Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, is representing patients treated by Paterson at the Spire Hospitals. She said: 'The insurance company will usually be liable for any claims made for clinical negligence and, if compensation is awarded, this will be due from the insurer under the terms of the policy. 'Mr Paterson took out insurance with the Medical Defence Union (MDU). 'However, the MDU has confirmed it is not instructed by Mr Paterson, not authorised to accept service of any proceedings and that Irwin Mitchell's clients \"should have no expectation of any continuing MDU involvement in this matter\". 'MDU cover is discretionary and may legitimately be withdrawn if a surgeon's practice falls outside of the insurance terms. One of the victims who is facing losing out on compensation is Jade Edgington, 24, who underwent unnecessary surgery to remove non-cancerous lumps from her breasts. Miss Edgington, from Shirley, in the West Midlands, was 16 when she discovered a large lump in her left breast. Thanks to her father's Bupa medical insurance, was seen almost immediately by Paterson in October 2005. After an ultrasound, Paterson told the then teenager she had a lump 'the size of a golf ball' in her breast and it needed to be removed. Just over a year later, in December 2006, Jade discovered another smaller lump in her right breast. Paterson removed it a month later, reassuring her that the lumps were nothing to worry about.

+{"article": "A jury is recommending life without parole for an Alabama woman convicted of capital murder in her granddaughter's running death. Jurors rejected prosecutors' pleas for a death sentence for Joyce Hardin Garrard in the February 2012 death of 9-year-old Savannah Hardin. The decision came on a split vote: seven for life, five for death. It came Thursday on Garrard's 50th birthday. Under Alabama law, a vote of at least 10 of 12 jurors was required for the panel to recommend death. A simple majority could recommend life. Life: Joyce Hardin Garrard was found guilty of capital murder last week by a jury that today voted 7 to 5 to imprison the 50-year-old for life rather than put her to death for running to death her granddaughter Savannah Hardin in February 2012 . Horrific: Savannah collapsed and had a seizure after carrying wood as Garrard refused to let her stop running. She died three days later in hospital . The verdict is only a suggestion under Alabama law. Circuit Judge Billy Ogletree will make the final sentencing decision at a hearing May 11. The same jury convicted Garrard of capital murder last week. The jury began deliberating late in the morning after prosecution and defense attorneys presented closing arguments in the sentencing phase of Garrard's trial. Assistant District Attorney Marcus Reid asked jurors to recommend the death penalty, adding that he's never prosecuted a case like this one. 'This case is the only case I know of where the perpetrator forced the victim to participate in her own death,' he said. 'Joyce Garrard forced Savannah Hardin to help kill herself.' Prosecutors contend Garrard made the girl run as punishment for telling a lie about candy, and refused to let Savannah stop running even after the girl was vomiting and begging for an end to the exercise. In court, they cited a school bus surveillance video that captured Garrard saying she would run the girl and teach her a lesson. Reid told jurors that Garrard had cried in the courtroom at the mention of her birthday, but didn't cry when jurors were shown the soiled blue pants Savannah was wearing the night of her collapse. 'Savannah is dead. Joyce Garrard is pitiless. She doesn't believe she did anything wrong,' he said. Over some candy: Garrard forced Savannah to run around the house and carry wood as punishment for a lie about eating candy in February 2012 . While grandmother Joyce Hardin Garrard was in the yard verbally prodding 9-year-old Savannah Hardin to run and pick up sticks, witnesses and attorneys said, stepmother Jessica Mae Hardin watched idly from a distance, seemingly immersed in her laptop computer. And with Savannah struggling to keep going and near the point of collapse, Hardin went inside so she wouldn't have to keep watching the girl's torment, a prosecutor suggested. Later, it was Hardin who called 911 and told authorities the girl had collapsed and was having a seizure, but only at Garrard's direction. Savannah died within days in a hospital after being taken off life support.

Australian teenage jihadist Jake Bilardi was expressing anti-Western sentiments years before he fled to the Middle East to fight with terror group Islamic State. In comments posted about news stories and opinion pieces, Bilardi pointed out the evils of Australia and the United States. Earlier this week, Fairfax Media revealed a 'Jonathan Edwards', who was thought to be a Briton when he appeared in a photo brandishing a rifle between two bearded men in front of a black IS flag last year, was in fact an 18-year-old from Melbourne. Bilardi is a high school drop-out who attended Craigieburn Secondary College - in the Victorian capital's north. A collection of his comments seen on the website, Disqus, showed the teenager was an avid reader of Al Jazeera. They date back up to four years ago and most of them showed him weighing in on Islamic issues. In response to another commenter, Bilardi tells them to 'get a better education on the real teachings of Islam' before airing their opinion in May 2011. 'I am not a muslim [sic] but you see I am not a pathetic loser who doesn't know anything outside of their own home and I actually have a life I don't just go on the internet to abuse people and their beliefs,' the 18-year-old wrote. This came a year before the teenager, who has been dubbed the 'White Jihadist', converted to Islam and started worshipping at Melbourne mosques, according to Fairfax Media. Later in the year, Bilardi hit out at an American who he accused of Islamophobic behaviour. 'The CIA funded Al-Qaeda, the US government funded the Taliban. They brought this on themselves. You are a prime example of an Islamophobe,' Bilardi said. 'Saying \"maybe if Muslims didn't attack America\", you do realise that less than 1% of Muslims are terrorists and that Islamic terrorism only makes up 6% of global terrorism.' Bilardi added Americans were being influenced by local media, saying the same happened to Australians. 'If you're smart enough and can think for yourself you can actually realise that most of the stuff you are told are lies,' he said.

Mr Quail described the teenager as a 'silly young boy' whose parents had since stopped him from accessing the internet on his own at night.

But now Linda Evangelista is facing rather more prosaic money issues after getting embroiled in a row over who's going to pay a $1.5 million (\u00a3980,000) bill to repair the roof of her luxury Manhattan penthouse. The Canadian model and other occupiers of the top-floor units at the Spears Building in Chelsea are suing the owners of the apartment block over the demand they pay the full cost of the work. Linda Evangelista is in a dispute with the owners of the building in which she has her Manhattan penthouse over a $1.5 million bill to replace its roof . The Spears Building, where penthouse residents including Miss Evangelista want the cost of replacing the roof to be shared by all residents. It is in an area of Chelsea where some apartments go for as much as \u00a35 million . In a lawsuit filed on Monday, Miss Evangelista and other fellow top floor residents charge that the owners of the building at 525 W. 22nd St intend to violate the condominium\u2019s bylaws by landing them with the entire seven-figure cost. They argue the expense is supposed to be covered by the owners of all 30 units in the luxury loft complex in a wealthy neighbourhood where apartments cost as much as \u00a35 million. The lawsuit says the owners got a legal opinion in 2011 that only those with private rooftop terraces on the sixth floor had to contribute anything towards the ongoing cost of maintaining the roof, but that residents of the entire building would be expected to put money towards a full replacement . Instead of carrying out the replacement then, the board started charging unit owners extra monthly fees to build up a fund to pay for it at later date, the lawsuit alleges. Canadian Miss Evangelista, 49, was one of the original supermodels who ruled the catwalk in the 1990s . But the board reportedly decided last month to go back to the original plan and replace the roof but with penthouse residents only now expected to pay the entire cost, including financing. A formal vote on the proposals by the board is scheduled for Thursday night, but Miss Evangelista and other plaintiffs are seeking to postpone it. They want more information about the extent of the work needed so the penthouse owners can properly resolve the issue of who should pay for it. The group argue it is unacceptable how one of the penthouse owners was told he would have to cough up $177,000 (\u00a3116,000), minus $12,000 he had already paid into the roof maintenance fund. Miss Evangelista, 49, who was born in Canada, was one of the group of supermodels who became famous in the 1990s for ruling the catwalk. She supposedly coined the phrase: \u2018We don\u2019t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day\u2019 which came to symbolise the high money, high fashion world they lived in.

Victoria Wheatley and Rachael Giles won their sex discrimination case against the Civil Nuclear Constabulary on the grounds they could not reach the trigger at a hearing in February last year. But now both women believe their careers are over, a remedy hearing at Central London Employment Tribunal heard today. Ms Wheatley branded the organisation's attitude towards her as 'disgraceful' while Ms Giles claimed the case had brought her 'a great deal of stress and anxiety', adding: 'They are making me choose between my mental health and paying the bills.' Bullied: Firearms officer Rachael Giles, who sued the British Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) after claiming her firearm was too big for her small hand, says she has been bullied by the 'malicious' force . Both women, in their 30s, are still employed by the constabulary but are on sick leave due to stress on pensionable pay - resulting in them not getting full pay. They had returned to work after winning their case last year but Miss Wheatley complained they only did 'menial' jobs which was 'completely belittling and humiliating.' They are part of the armed CNC and help protect power stations at Sellafield in Cumbria and Chapelcross in Dumfries and Galloway. Both claimed at the original tribunal that their reputations were damaged because their unsuitable equipment - a Glock 17 - meant they received lower marks than men in firing range tests while protective gear was too big for their small heads and legs. The tribunal found the CNC guilty of indirect sex discrimination but dismissed claims of victimisation. In going though the series of complaints made by the women today, John Cavanagh QC, representing the CNC, noted that Miss Giles felt the force's treatment of her has been 'malicious and unpleasant'. Miss Giles, who was diagnosed with depression in February 2014, claimed: 'I believe that my career with the constabulary is at an end.' She added that she has 'no faith in the constabulary and that I would be treated fairly'. She suggested that her mental health has not been helped by the time it has taken to try and resolve the case, and even doubts whether the CNC believes they have done anything wrong. She added: 'The constabulary has behaved in a particularly malicious manner. I believe this has been to intimidate.' Mr Cavanagh also said that Miss Wheatley had claimed that she had been put on pensionable pay. Petite: Both complained that the handle of her Glock 17 pistol (pictured) was too big for her hands . He noted that she believes 'this was an attempt to starve her back to to work so that the claim can be made that she is fit and well and totally unaffected'.

Dave Chisnall started the night in Ireland with a 7-2 win over Adrian Lewis . Chisnall said: 'I'm happy with that. Adrian wasn't at his best and he missed a few doubles, but I capitalised on that - sometimes you need a bit of luck and timing, and today I had both of those. 'I've not played my best darts in the last couple of weeks but I put it right this week. I was confident that I could get the win and I managed to get the victory. 'I've done everything right in preparation and it paid off because once I got into the lead I didn't look back, and I can't wait for Manchester next week now.' There were no such problems for Phil Taylor, though, as he beat bottom placed Belgian Kim Huybrechts 7-4. Phil Taylor beat bottom placed Kim Huybrechts 7-4 at the 3 Arena in Dublin . Taylor said: 'Kim played pretty well and his finishing was good but he let me in when he missed that 100. It was nip and tuck so I'm happy to have come out with the win. 'It was a tough game but I enjoyed it. I had a 104 average this week and won and a 115 average last week and lost, which doesn't make sense, but that's the game now and there were a lot of nerves on this week.

In fact, the reaction can be so severe that even seeing photos of holes can set off a panic attack. Until recently, it didn't garner much attention from scientists or doctors. However the phenomenon appears to be more widespread than first thought. There is a Facebook group devoted to those who believe they are sufferers.

The man who shot dead three Muslim students near the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill campus last month could be executed for the crime. Craig Hicks, 46, has been charged with first-degree murder in the February 10 shooting deaths of Deah Barakat, 23; his wife Yusor Abu-Salha, 21; and Yusor's sister Razan Abu-Salha, 19. Durham County District Attorney Roger Echols has expressed in court documents filed last week that the state plans to pursue capital charges in the case, which is currently being investigated as a possible hate crime by the FBI. Echols will explain his reasons for pursuing the death penalty at a hearing set for April. Prosecutors often push for the death penalty in cases where they can use execution as leverage to get the accused to agree to a plea deal, opting for a lesser sentence like life in prison for pleading guilt and avoiding trial. Hicks has reportedly already confessed to murder, though authorities still haven't revealed whether he gave a motive for his crime. His wife Karen Haggerty Hicks says he killed the three students because of an argument over parking spaces at the Finley Forest apartments where they all lived just a few miles from the Chapel Hill campus. However,others have voiced the opinion that the shooting was a hate crime based on the students' Muslim faith. Police say they found documents on Hicks' computer that show he kept detailed notes on the parking situation at the apartment complex. Hicks stands accused of shooting dead North Carolina students Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, on February 10 .

He said claims that Britain boasts the world\u2019s fifth largest defence budget \u2018rings hollow\u2019 when the Ministry of Defence is slashing manpower and capabilities.

He added: \u2018Failing defence budgets across Nato have emboldened the Russian president, who has concluded that the heart has gone out of the alliance. This is dangerous.\u2019 He called on the Government to spend 3 to 4 per cent of national income on defence, saying it was \u2018nonsense\u2019 that on current projections Britain will be spending the same on defence as on foreign aid in 15 years. Referencing comments made by the US chief of staff General Raymond Odierno, he said the idea of British brigades serving within American divisions because of severe cuts to numbers was \u2018unthinkable\u2019 only a decade ago. A total of 37 MPs, the majority of whom are Tories, backed a motion in Parliament yesterday to set the defence budget at 2 per cent of national income in law, in a significant challenge to David Cameron just weeks ahead of the election. The motion, headed by Mr Baron, was passed but has no legal force. Rory Stewart, chairman of the defence select committee, waded into the four-hour debate in the Commons, saying that Britain was acting as a \u2018freeloader\u2019 to the US. He told MPs: \u2018These threats are real. The world is genuinely becoming more dangerous, and Britain cannot be a freeloader. \u2018People stand up and list all the different kit that we have bought, but they do not intend ever to use it.\u2019 He added that \u2018they\u2019 were \u2018freeloading\u2019 by thinking \u2018that Britain will never act alone, that the United States will somehow fill in all the gaps\u2019. Mr Baron warned that Britain faced a significant threat from countries such as Russia . He said that if the UK was serious about defence, the Government would need to look at ballistic missiles, upgrading elite units and protecting soldiers against chemical weapons with special suits.

But now one of Britain's biggest supermarkets has turned its back on technology in favour of human staff manning stores. Morrisons's new CEO, David Potts, who took over last week has scrapped the Intelligent Queue Management (iQM) system used in shops after receiving feedback from customers and staff. Morrisons has ditched its Intelligent Queue Management system in favour of returning to using humans to decide how many checkouts to open in stores . The technology, which was introduced in 2008, used infrared sensors to determine how many checkouts to open by monitoring the number of customer flowing through the store. It meant that during quieter periods staff could be taken off the tills and placed in other parts of the store. The company's retail team, along with the new boss, concluded that checkout teams would make better and more balanced decisions compared to the iQM computer system. But while they have brought humans back to monitor queues, the controversial self-scan tills will be here to stay. Ex-Tesco executive Mr Potts, who took over as Morrisons\u2019 chief executive on March 16, spoke with customers and staff and after feedback decided to scrap some of the modern day technologies .

It was supposed to enable checkout managers to predict exactly when shoppers would arrive at the checkouts so the tills were open for them when they got there. When the iQM system was first rolled out as part of a trial with the promise of cutting customer waiting times it had a five per cent success rate, however, staff claimed the system was pointless. Some took to online job review website Glassdoor to complain, with a department manager in Felixstowe, Suffolk, describing it as 'a waste of time and money'. The unnamed manager had added: 'It [the iQM] messes up all the departments in the store and it has a major knock on effect to all other departments with the waste and markdown and rotation.' A checkout operator from Portsmouth, writing in October last year, said: 'Morrisons needs to go back to basics. We are a superior supermarket and that's what we need to install in customers old and new. 'Customers want to be treated. Show them we care more than the other leading stores.' After listening to colleagues executives have also decided to scrap another computerised system which measures the amount of products scanned every minute by checkout staff. The 'scan rate' was introduced in 2012 after imposing new time targets of one item every three seconds, which prompted an outcry from members of the public, who branded the supermarket as turning into a 'battery hen farm'. Mr Potts, a former executive at Tesco, said: 'We intend to be an organisation that listens very hard to its customers and staff and, wherever possible,", "summary": "The Intelligent Queue Management (iQM) system has now been scrapped . Morrisons's CEO David Potts took over last week and ditched technology . It used special sensors to determine how many checkouts should be open . But feedback from staff and customers determined it was 'waste of time' Supermarket has also got rid of 'scan rate' which counts items scanned . The controversial self-service tills are expected to stay despite changes ."}

A senior NHS manager who bombarded a female colleague with poison pen letters after she rejected his advances is facing jail. Karl Perryman was head of complaints and legal services at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in King's Lynn, Norfolk, when he sent the 'dark and spiteful' notes to junior colleague Joanne O'Neill. Posing as a Christian woman, he also wrote to her partner, mother, the hospital and human resources manager accusing her of sleeping her way to the top. Perryman recruited Miss O'Neill as his 'prodigy,' but turned on her when she began a relationship with the hospital's deputy director of ICT Michael Brown, who she has since married. The letters had a devastating effect on 39-year-old Miss O'Neill who left her family and friends as she moved more than 200 miles away to escape Perryman. He was caught when officers found part of one of the letters on his computer. Married Perryman was found guilty at King's Lynn Crown Court of one count of stalking and one count of intimidating a witness - Ms O'Neill's mother Margaret Titmarsh. Miss O'Neill was initially turned down for a job after an interview at the hospital, King's Lynn Crown Court was told. But Perryman called her afterwards to say he was 'so impressed with her as a candidate that he would do his damnedest to get her a job'. A couple of months later she began working in his department and he promised to 'take her under his wing'. He described her as his 'prodigy' and she soon began covering his job when he was on leave. The two shared friendly 'banter' but the relationship soured when he allegedly purchased a necklace for her from jewellers Ernest Jones and she refused the gift. The first anonymous letter arrived at the hospital in December 2012 and said Mr Brown had been 'bragging' about having sex with Miss O'Neill and another female member of staff. It claimed: 'Both of these women are allowed to dress like hookers in short skirts and dresses\u2026 they are dressing like tarts. This is a hospital, not a knocking shop.'

It warned: 'You will reap what you sow\u2026 we will listen to your corridor conversations, when you're in the bathroom, so we can get firm evidence for your partner with what you've done.'

While the ISS sweeps across \u2018diagonally\u2019, in the video at least, others like the Landsat series are seen travelling from pole to pole. Scroll down for video . Nasa scientists in Maryland, US have created a satellite visualisation (shown). It shows dozens of Earth-observing satellites currently orbiting our planet. They include Landsat 7 and 8, part of Nasa's long-serving series. And the ISS can also be seen sweeping diagonally across Earth . The animation solely shows Nasa's Earth-observing satellites, and not any run by other space agencies or private organisations. The satellites measure rainfall, solar irradiance, clouds, sea surface height, ocean salinity and other aspects of the global environment. \u2018Together, they provide a picture of the Earth as a system,\u2019 said Nasa. The animation shows the day of 16 February 2015 from 00.00 GMT to 12.00 GMT. While the satellites might look close together, the amount of space in Earth orbit is vast, and there is little to no chance of any colliding. In fact, they are all placed on specific orbits within their orbital bands that ensure the minimal chance possible of colliding with another satellite. This doesn't always go to plan, though. In 2009, a US Iridium satellite and a defunct Russian Cosmos satellite collided, creating hundreds of new pieces of debris in orbit. But the precision of modern satellites is best seen by a quartet of satellites known as the \u2018A-train\u2019 - Aqua, Aura, CloudSat and Calipso - which follow each other closely in their orbits. The two closest, Cloudsat and Calipso, are just 12.5 seconds apart, but this equates to 58 miles (93km) in distance. The four satellites work together to provide even better observations of Earth. \u2018It\u2019s acting like one satellite with 15 instruments onboard,\u2019 Ernie Wright, an animator at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Centre, told Wired, referring to the 15 instruments shared between them. The Landsat series of satellites have, since 1972, been used to measure Earth\u2019s continental and coastal landscapes at a scale where human impacts and natural changes can be monitored. Shown is an illustration of Landsat 8, which launched on 11 February 2013 . 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.

At seven months pregnant, the soon-to-be mother-of-two is said to be embracing natural products and loves that the skincare line is made without any potentially harmful retanoids.

More to the point, he hasn't got his head round his sacking as one-day captain. Neither fact reflects well on the English game. His cri de coeur came not long after coach Peter Moores had assured us that Cook had dealt with the disappointment of being axed only weeks before the World Cup. Thoughts returned to the days before that axing, when Moores stressed his support for Cook's leadership; once the leadership was over, Moores said it was 'the right thing to do'. Something is clearly being lost in translation. And it had better be reinterpreted fast: England are about to embark on 17 Tests in 10 months. It is a period that will define both captain and coach, assuming they emerge unscathed. Yet Cook also needs to be frank with himself. The reason he shouldn't have been sacked so soon before a World Cup was that he should have been sacked well in advance, and allowed to focus on what \u2013 until two years ago \u2013 he was good at: churning out Test runs.

Navy prosecutors presented evidence against two of 12 male sailors accused of illegally making and trading videos of female officers aboard a nuclear submarine that was among the first to allow American women to serve alongside men. The two men in court Thursday, both missile technicians aboard the USS Wyoming nuclear submarine, based at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia, were accused of trading the videos with other sailors. Going under: The USS Wyoming submarine, based at the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia. A group of 12 male submariners serving aboard the vessel stand accused of taking secret footage of their female colleagues undressing and trading it 'like Pok\u00e9mon cards' Another sailor aboard the Wyoming made the videos with his smartphone and then told others that he had a 'gift for them,' Navy prosecuting attorney Lieutenant Commander. Lee Marsh said. Once the sailor who took the videos arrived back onshore, Marsh said, he shared them with the others by 'bumping' their smartphones together. The videos were not posted online. 'Videos were treated like Pok\u00e9mon. Something to be collected,' Marsh said during the preliminary hearing in the case against two missile technicians charged with conspiracy to distribute recordings of private areas of female officers. Navy Vice Admiral Michael Connor, commander of the nation's submarine fleet, has characterized the case as a 'serious sexual offence, with significant penalties.' The case highlights issues the Navy has faced in switching to co-ed crews on ballistic-missile submarines. It began the practice in 2011. More than 50 women now serve aboard submarines, and Connor has said while the change to coed crews has not been without incident, overall it has been a success. Navy Lt. Paul Hochmuth, defense attorney for one of the accused missile technicians who was in court on Thursday, said his client didn't know what the files were when he accepted the 'gift' on his phone.

'At no point can you ever see a full length view of the person... You might see a face... then a leg... or a butt... but there is no full length view,' Hochmuth said. Marsh said the quality of the videos is irrelevant because they were made without consent and that they were explicit.

Now one owned by a German marine biologist Professor Hubert Caspers, who worked at the Institute for Hydrobiology and Fisheries Science before his death in 1998, is to go on sale in Bruges, Belgium. Genetic material has been extracted from the shells of ancient elephant bird eggs. It has raised hopes that it may be possible to use cloning techniques to resurrect the extinct species. By injecting the genetic material into the unfertilised eggs of other large flightless birds like the ostrich, it may be possible to recreate the elephant bird. However, scientists face significant challenges that need to be overcome before this is possible. Cloning birds is considered to be particularly challenging. Extracting enough DNA from eggshells is also thought to be another limiting factor. Finally much of the habitat the the elephant birds once inhabited has now changed, so there may be few places where such a large species could now live. Scans taken of the egg, which is at least 400 years old, have also revealed the tiny bones of an embryo that had started to grow inside along with dehydrated organic material. Scientists were recently able to extract DNA from a similar egg, raising hopes that it may be possible to bring the elephant bird back to life using cloning techniques.

But another obscure superfood new on the market in Australia is being heralded for its multiple health and beauty benefits, which include aiding in weight loss, slowing down cellular ageing, energy boosting, reducing skin conditions such as eczema, and giving a glowing complexion. While superfoods from the sea are nothing new, brown algae is being called superior due to its high levels of protein and fibre. Victoria Beckham, Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow are among the stars said to have adopted brown algae into their lives and their bodies. Britney Spears is also a fan and reportedly even eats it raw. Stars' secret weapon: Victoria Beckham (left) and Gwyneth Paltrow (right) are reported to be among brown algae's celebrity fans . Slimy superfood: Many are using brown algae as an alternative to green algae due to its reportedly superior health benefits that include aiding in weight loss, slowing down cellular ageing, and helping skin conditions . Algae is any plant based organism that grows in water. So, when you\u2019re talking about seaweed, you\u2019re talking about algae. Spirulina lacks the same levels of fibre and is harvested from farms, leaving it open to possible contamination. Brown algae is most familiar to people as kelp and is especially common in the cold clean waters of the Northern Hemisphere where it is sustainably harvested. But how can this superfood help you lose weight? In one word, iodine. Iodine is a crucial element in weight loss as it regulates the thyroid gland, a gland in your neck that hormones can either wreck havoc or cause balance in our bodies. Natural benefits: Brown algae has a high concentration of iodine, one gram is reportedly equivalent to 50 times the recommended daily intake . Most Australians have an acute deficiency in Iodine because we don\u2019t eat enough wild fish, seaweed or algae. This means a lot of Australians suffer hyperthyroidism or under stimulated thyroids leading to unnatural weight gain. Now, brown algae has an extraordinarily high concentration of iodine, one gram is reportedly equivalent to 50 times the recommended daily intake. Because of our natural iodine deficiency, it\u2019s argued that increasing your consumption can increase your metabolic rate and in turn help you burn more calories. When it\u2019s fresh it is slimy seaweed, and for this reason it is often dried, powered and consumed in capsule or shake form. Some recommend trying it with rice milk. It reportedly contains unique antioxidants and fibres that have been linked to emerging studies that show anti-cancer, anti-viral and anti-bacterial benefits as well as promoting anti-senescence which is the process of slowing down cellular ageing. Drink it down: As consuming slimy seaweed can be less than palatable, it is often dried and powdered. Divinita arrived on Australian shelves in November . Brown algae is also high in other nutrients like calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, chromium, copper, selenium and zinc and many B-vitamins .

The owners of a prize-winning Irish setter who was wrongly thought to have been poisoned at Crufts have attacked the Kennel Club for its 'cold' attitude in dealing with the death of the dog. Three-year-old Jagger collapsed and died at his owner's home in Tongeren, Belgium, 24 hours after winning a silver medal in his class at the world's biggest dog show. At first his devastated owners believed the dog had been giving cubes of beef laced with poison at Crufts, possibly by a rival, only for the Kennel Club to run tests which showed Jagger had eaten the it 28 hours after leaving the show in Birmingham. The animal's co-owners, Belgian couple Aleksandra and Willem Lauwers and Leicestershire-based Dee Milligan-Bott and her husband Jeremy Bott have criticised the way the Kennel Club handled the situation, and said they faced a barrage of emails from the organisation after the dog's death. 'We accept that we will never know the true facts of why, where and when Jagger ingested poison which resulted in his death,' the owners said in a joint statement, posted on their Facebook pages. 'We wish now to draw a line under this tragedy. 'We are extremely disappointed, the way the Kennel Club have handled the events surrounding the death of Jagger.' The owners said they would have welcomed 'expert advice' with how to deal with the situation and the ensuing press attention. They added: 'That would have been helpful, rather than the cold, impersonal emails and their own press comments regretting that Jagger had died after the show.' Jagger became ill when he returned to the Lauwers family home in the city of Tongeren, in Belgium. The couple called a vet but he suffered a fit and died before the vet arrived. Jagger - known by his show name Thendara Satisfaction - was owned by the couple's young son who was devastated at the death of his pet. A vet acting for the couple carried out an immediate post-mortem on Friday March 6, confirming suspected poisoning. The dog's owners said they had then contacted the Kennel Club by urgent email to its press office to report the dog's death and then faced a 'barrage' of emails from the organisation.

The straight-talking life coach also forced Jay to sit down with four of his children and explain to them why he had 'dropped them' and failed to live up to his responsibilities as a father.

'I have not honored your mothers as women the way that I should have. I would never say willingly, but I absolutely fell short on my responsibilities to you as a provider, at times. 'And the biggest thing that I would like to confess is that I absolutely did not live up to be the true man that I am and the father that you really have. I am responsible for the reason why each and every one of you absolutely don't know me.' But despite Jay insisting that his sentiments were completely and utterly heart-felt, it seemed his sentiments came too little too late for some of his children.

The test asks people to enter basic details, including their age, height and weight and postcode.

Then the test asks a series of questions to build a picture of a person's medical history. Whether a person smokes, if they are diabetic, suffering rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney failure or atrial fibrillation - an irregular heartbeat - is considered. Finally, it asks if a person has a family history of cardiovascular disease in relatives under the age of 60.

Disgraced PR guru Max Clifford has been arrested in connection with allegations of sexual offences by detectives from Operation Yewtree, it has been reported. Scotland Yard said a 71-year-old had been questioned at a police station in Peterborough. Clifford, 71, was jailed for eight years last May after being convicted of a string of indecent assaults, carried out between 1977 and 1984, using his celebrity connections to lure women. He is currently serving his sentence at Littlehey Prison in Cambridgeshire, which is not far from Peterborough. The former celebrity agent, who branded his accusers 'fantasists', denied the charges, but was convicted at London's Southwark Crown Court. It is understood that today's arrest relates to a number of separate allegations of sex offences. Following Clifford's sentencing last year, Scotland Yard confirmed that other people had come forward with allegations. Police have not named the individual who was arrested today, but did say that the man was 'not new' to the Operation Yewtree investigation. Clifford was named on Twitter by Mark Williams-Thomas, the man who exposed Jimmy Savile's crimes in an award-winning ITV investigation. He posted: 'Max Clifford (71) arrested today re allegations of sexual offences,He was interviewed at a police station in Peterborough. #OP.Yewtree'. Minutes later, he added: 'As previously stated today's arrest of Max Clifford relates to number of separate allegations of sex offences that CPS have been advising on.' Mr Williams-Thomas, a former police officer who specialised in child protection and major crime, was the first person to expose Savile. Operation Yewtree is the police probe set up in the wake of disclosures that former BBC DJ Jimmy Savile was a prolific paedophile. Clifford, pictured, was jailed for eight years last May after being convicted of a string of indecent assaults, carried out between 1977 and 1984, using his celebrity connections to lure women . The investigation has three strands of inquiry. One relates to Savile's crimes and the second relates to allegations against Savile and others. The third strand, under which Clifford is understood to have been questioned, concentrates on accusations unconnected to the Savile investigations but which emerged as a result of the publicity surrounding the late DJ. A Scotland Yard spokesman said it has spoken to 17 people as part of the Yewtree investigation. High-profile: Gary Glitter, left, and Rolf Harris, right, have both been convicted under Operation Yewtree . He said: 'This is not a new individual to Operation Yewtree. This is not an 18th individual.' Inquiries continue, he added. Last month, Gary Glitter, who was the first person to be arrested under Operation Yewtree, became the fourth high-profile figure to be convicted under the investigation.

The star, 54, decided to cycle on the streets around his west London home this morning on the eve of an BBC internal report that will help decide whether he is sacked.

Mr Phillips is the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission and has waged a 30-year campaign to tackle issues around discrimination and equality. In an upcoming Channel 4 documentary, called Things We Won't Say About Race That Are True, he says attempts to stop prejudice instead encouraged abuse and endangered lives as well as contributed to the rise of parties like Ukip. Trevor Phillips, who was the head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said efforts made under the Blair government to end racial discrimination were 'wrong' In the 75-minute documentary, he delves into Britain's racial tensions and stereotypes as well as hostilities towards immigrants. He explains: 'It was my job to to make sure that different racial and religious groups got on. 'Campaigners like me seriously believed that if we could prevent people expressing prejudiced ideas then eventually they would stop thinking them. 'But now I'm convinced we were utterly wrong.' Mr Phillips, a Labour party member, says anti-racism began with good intentions but turned into 'thought control'. He says the London 2005 bombing by British Muslims, forced him to do rethink his views. Now, he insists that only a willingness to talk more openly about race, despite risk of causing offence, will help those in need. Mr Phillips interviews Ukip leader Nigel Farage (left) and former prime minister Tony Blair (right) for the documentary, which airs March 19 . In the documentary, which airs on March 19, Mr Phillips asks Nigel Farage whether attempts to embrace diversity have led to the rise of Ukip.

Explaining the issue, he said: 'The dividing lines of race, religion and culture are probably the most dangerous flashpoints in Britain today, but they're also the ones we find hardest to talk about in public.

Not only had the Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister come dangerously close to upstaging her older sibling, her obvious lust for life and ever-ready smile swiftly won her admirers from across the social spectrum. But almost four years on from the Royal Wedding of April 2011, things are looking very different for 31-year-old Miss Middleton. Scroll down for video . Nothing to celebrate: Pippa Middleton has reportedly failed to agree a deal with broadcaster NBC . Panned: Pippa's party guide Celebrate! failed to wow the critics - or the book-buying public . Her party book Celebrate!, launched with much fanfare in October 2012, bombed, with its author ridiculed for her penchant for stating the obvious and her breathless prose. Writing in the Daily Mail at the time, reviewer Jan Moir pointed to her less than original ideas (pumpkins at Halloween anyone?) and her lack of any obvious qualifications beyond penning the blog on her parents' Party Pieces website. 'From the moment she appeared in butter satin at her sister\u2019s wedding, Pippa has struck absolutely no one as the kind of girl you would always find in the kitchen at parties,' continued Moir. 'And would she really have gained a lucrative publishing contract to write about something she calls \"simple, creative entertaining\" if her sister were not married to a member of the Royal Family?' It wasn't the first time that the question had been asked and it certainly wouldn't the last. Next came news of a column for Waitrose Kitchen, which launched in April 2013 although not before a storm of criticism had broken over both magazine and writer's heads. Established chefs were appalled that a woman with no obvious cooking experience had been hired and accused Waitrose of publicity seeking, while Pippa was once again charged with capitalising on her royal connections. At the time, editor William Sitwell hit back, arguing that Pippa 'will be an excellent contributor to the magazine, bringing with her a wealth of experience of entertaining, gained in part from working at her family's party business.' Critics disagreed and pointed to the 31-year-old's lack of kitchen experience and talent for stating the obvious, with lines such as 'Regardless of how tired I might be, the moment Friday lunchtime arrives I get that contagious pre-weekend excitement' widely mocked. Nevertheless, the Pippa bandwagon rolled on, with the Duchess of Cambridge's sister adding a Telegraph column and the role of contributing editor at Vanity Fair to her CV. Then it all began to go wrong. First, in March 2013, she was dropped by her literary agent David Godwin who had helped her launch Celebrate!

That would mean one of Madrid's impressive front three, the so-called 'BBC' of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, would need to make way. In the poll, Bale, who has been jeered on a couple of occasions despite his impressive start in the Spanish capital, was top of the pile, while Ronaldo was second. Benzema, therefore, has proven to be the most popular member of Madrid's frontline; a stat which will surprise many given Ronaldo's previous success at the club.

+{"article": "Colorado's legal marijuana is three times stronger than it was a generation ago and is often contaminated with heavy metals, pesticides, fungus and bacteria, a startling chemical analysis of 600 samples has found. Additionally, modern pot has very low levels of cannabidiol, or CBD, the compound that medical marijuana advocates say gives the drug its healing properties. In most samples, the CBD levels were so small they were undetectable. The findings come from Andy LaFrate, a Ph.D. chemist and the founder of Colorado testing firm Charas Scientific. LaFrate will present the results of his research today at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Denver. Scroll down for video . Andy LaFrate, the founder of Charas Scientific, knows that most people think it's a joke when he says he tested 600 samples of Colorado's legal pot . In fact, LaFrate used highly accurate liquid chromatography to isolate all of the compounds within the marijuana samples - and got some surprising results . LaFrate's survey of Colorado's marijuana casts doubt on claims that by legalizing the drug for recreational use in 2012, it would make it safer to consume. 'It's pretty startling just how dirty a lot of this stuff is,' he told Smithsonian.com. Also alarming is the fact that people using marijuana for its reported medicinal properties usually have no way of knowing how much CBD is actually in their products. Colorado only requires marijuana dispensaries to test and advertise the levels of THC - the compound in pot that gets user 'high.' CBD and contaminant levels are not tested. 'I've heard a lot of complaints from medical patients because somebody claims that a product has a high level of CBD, and it turns out that it actually doesn't,' LaFrate says. Children who are given marijuana to control epilepsy can actually be worse off because they're being given strains of the drug with virtually no CBD and high levels of THC, which can trigger seizures, he added. LaFrate's tests used liquid chromatography, a highly accurate method of chemical analysis that separates out the component parts of a substance. LaFrate says more testing is needed on the effects of contaminants on people who consume marijuana . He found that Colorado's legal marijuana has THC levels of 18 to 20percent. Sometimes THC is as high as 30percent. Marijuana from the 1980s usually had THC levels of less than 10percent - meaning modern pot is two to three times stronger than it was a generation ago. It's no coincidence that Colorado's marijuana is dramatically stronger and has dramatically lower CBD levels than the pot of yesteryear. Growers responded to a demand from consumers for more potent pot by breeding varieties with higher levels of THC and less CBD. LaFrate says he found very small levels of genetic variation between 'strains' of marijuana. This means, the claims of pot with exotic names - 'Skunkberry,' 'Ghost Train Haze,' 'Girl Scout Cookies' - are usually just slick marketing ploys. Additionally, much of Colorado's marijuana is contaminated with high levels of fungus spores and bacteria.

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but an agreement was made to explore its contents before deepening its resting place, according to the Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District.

De Kock took a sensational one-handed diving catch, at the second attempt, after Perera edged behind for just three.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the late Tory MP, one of the most prominent and divisive politicians of the 20th Century, has been named to Scotland Yard by the Bishop of Durham. The claims relate to \u2018ritual satanic abuse\u2019. And in a further development to the sex-ring investigations, police are to be given access to secret files held on MPs in the House of Commons archives as they hunt for evidence on suspected abusers, including former Liberal MP Cyril Smith. Scroll down for video . Historic: Enoch Powell's name was first linked to sex abuse claims in the 1980s . The Bishop of Durham, Paul Butler, contacted police after Powell\u2019s name was passed to him by a former Bishop of Monmouth, Dominic Walker, who first heard the allegation when he was a vicar counselling young adults in the 1980s. The claim is being examined by Operation Fenbridge, one of a number of police probes into \u2018Establishment paedophile rings\u2019 \u2013 including an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission into claims that officers dropped their inquiries under pressure from powerful individuals. A Church of England spokesman said: \u2018The name of Enoch Powell was passed to Operation Fenbridge by one of our safeguarding team on the instruction of Bishop Paul Butler.' Mr Walker is believed to have warned the Right Rev Butler that at the time he was told of the claims against Powell, unsubstantiated allegations of satanic rituals \u2013 often involving the abuse of children \u2013 were widespread. In 1994, an investigation by the London School of Economics into 84 alleged cases of \u2018satanic abuse\u2019 in the UK between 1987 and 1992, including notorious cases in Rochdale and the Orkneys that involved social workers and police forcibly removing children from their homes in dawn raids, found no convincing corroborative evidence. Report: Paul Butler, the Bishop of Durham, passed the name to Scotland Yard after hearing it from the former Bishop of Monmouth . However, the ongoing scandal over how serial paedophile Jimmy Savile was able to evade detection for decades has led institutions to take a safety-first approach, so the Church felt it had no option but to pass on the information to police. Enoch Powell\u2019s frontline political career ended abruptly in 1968 after he made his infamous \u2018rivers of blood\u2019 speech warning about the dangers of uncontrolled immigration. Tory leader Edward Heath sacked him from the Shadow Cabinet the following day, although Powell remained an MP until 1974. Shortly after he died in 1998, aged 85, it was revealed he had admitted to a friend, Canon Eric James, that love poetry he had written as a youth had been intended for a man \u2013 but that he did not want the fact revealed while he was alive.

Cyber security campaigners warned that the failure to protect sensitive information because of 'bureaucratic incompetence' is just the 'tip of the iceberg'. Scroll down for documents . Identify theft: Reports from the Department of Education revealed officials tried to steal social security numbers from a database while another was disciplined for trying to look up President Obama\u2019s student loans . Insiders involved in illicit breaches are often overlooked, simply because the public think hackers and cybercriminals are more often to blame, they said. Lee Tien, senior staff attorney and Adams Chair for Internet Rights at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told the Daily Mail Online 'insiders are frequently part of the breach story'. He added that entities - especially the government - need to uphold their duty to safeguard other people's personal information. Berin Szoka, the president of Tech Freedom, insisted some of the privacy issues come from within the government. 'As usual, the real privacy problem is government. Big Brother surveillance at the NSA is bad enough,' he told the Daily Mail Online. 'But bureaucratic incompetence can be far bigger problem. Failing to protect sensitive student loan data is just the tip of the iceberg of poor data security inside government.' According to the documents - obtained by the Daily Mail Online through a Freedom of Information Act request - a number of government employees set up an illicit scheme to steal students' information. One woman created a bogus Department of Education account to access the National Student Loan Data System to aid her criminal plot. While accessing the records, she would extract information from individual accounts. She swapped around the last four digits of her SSN with those of another during the scheme, and set up the fake identity to apply for credit cards, personal loans and set up a Sprint cell phone account. An internal investigation within the department found she went into the database 24 times between 2006 and 2009 to retrieve the information. Just 24 hours after searching through the database on one occasion in 2009, the documents revealed she applied for a personal loan. Concerns: Cyber security campaigners have warned that failing to protect sensitive information because of 'bureaucratic incompetence' is just the 'tip of the iceberg'.

The researchers said their results indicate that some men simply cannot cope with a poorly spouse. A study shows that a couple is more likely to divorce if the wife falls ill and researchers said their results indicate that some men simply cannot cope with a poorly spouse . After tracking 2,700 couples in the US from 1992 to 2010, the American team found that divorce levels were roughly the same between healthy couples and those in which the husband suffered sickness. But when disease hit the wife, the likelihood of divorce rose. Every two years the researchers interviewed the couples and asked whether either of them had been ill since their last session. Over the 18 years, 859 marriages ended in divorce, 32 per cent of the sample group. For 24 per cent of the couples, tragedy struck when one spouse died, and 44 per cent were still going strong by the time the study ended. But among the 965 couples in which the woman got sick, the rate of divorce was 6 per cent higher. Lead author Amelia Karraker, assistant professor in family studies at Iowa State University, said illness can add stress to a marriage because men may not be as attuned to taking on a caregiver role as women. \u2018There is a difference between feeling too sick to make dinner and needing someone to actually feed you,\u2019 she said. \u2018That\u2019s something that can really change the dynamics within a marriage.

It comes amid revelations that more than 100 women may have been deceived into having sexual relationships with undercover police officers. Theresa May has launched an official inquiry into undercover policing following revelations officers had sex with women they were spying on and even adopted the identities of dead babies . A group of women are now taking legal action against the police over the emotional trauma they suffered. One women even had a child with a former Special Branch detective who was tasked with infiltrating the Animal Liberation Front in the 1980s. The unnamed woman only discovered her son's father was the undercover policeman Bob Lambert in 2012 after he was outed by other campaigners. The woman, known as Jacqui, received \u00a3425,000 in compensation from the Metropolitan Police last year. Mrs May today published an independent review into whether the Home Office knew what was going with undercover police officers. It found there was no evidence the department was aware of undercover officers' use of fake identities taken from dead children or the risk of officers forming relationships under false pretences with individuals they were spying on. The Special Demonstration Squad unit carried out undercover operations into 18 justice campaigns - including the families of Jean Charles de Menezes (left), who was shot by police after being mistaken for a terrorist, and the murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence (right) In the official inquiry into undercover operations Appeal Court judge Lord Justice Pitchford will have the power to compel witnesses to give evidence, said the Home Office. Mrs May announced her intention to set up a judge-led public inquiry following the report of the independent Ellison Inquiry in March 2014, which found that Scotland Yard had spied on the family of murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence. And the separate police-led Operation Herne found that the now-defunct Special Demonstration Squad unit had carried out undercover operations to collect information on 18 justice campaigns over the course of 35 years - including that of Jean Charles de Menezes, who was shot by police after being mistaken for a terrorist. Scotland Yard chief Bernard Hogan Howe was forced to pay out more than \u00a3400,000 to a women who had a child with an undercover officer posing as a campaigner . Set up in 1968 to infiltrate pressure groups and operational until 2008, the Special Demonstration Squad has been the focus of intense controversy in recent years over claims that undercover officers had sexual relationships and even fathered children with campaigners to help build trust in their false identities. Announcing the Pitchford Inquiry, Mrs May said: 'The work of Mark Ellison and Operation Herne has unearthed serious historical failings in undercover policing practices. As I said last year, I was profoundly shocked by Mark", "summary": "Home Secretary appoints judge Lord Justice Pitchford to head the inquiry .

Shamed former children's entertainer Rolf Harris has received tax and VAT rebates amounting to almost \u00a3200,000. The paedophile, 84, placed two of his companies - Rolf Harris Enterprises and Rhel Holdings into liquidation - and accounts reveal he and his wife were left with a windfall of \u00a31.2 million. This included a \u00a3148,000 tax refund, plus they were entitled to an additional \u00a348,000 in the form of a VAT refund, it has been reported. The total figure is \u00a3196,000 and it's believed Harris will give the majority of his fortune to his wife Alwen and his daughter Bindi, according to The Sun. Harris was jailed in July last year for 12 indecent assaults against four girls between 1968 and 1986. Last month it was revealed Harris could be earning as much as \u00a31,300 a day from his prison cell thanks to his shrewd investments. \u2018He is a convicted paedophile and yet he is \u00admaking a large sum of money,\u2019 a source close to his finances told the Sunday People. Harris invested much of his multi-million pound earnings from his long-running career as a TV star, musician and artist. At the time of his sentencing, his companies were worth \u00a38.5 million, the Sunday People reported. New figures suggest his earnings have shot by \u00a3290,000, according to the newspaper. Harris also owns a home on the River Thames and his total assets could be worth more than \u00a315 million. His oldest company, Rolf Harris Enterprises, was launched in 1963 and Rhel Holdings was set up in January 2012. Earlier this week, Harris was stripped of the CBE that was awarded to him by the Queen. The move came eight months after he was jailed for nearly six years for the attacks. The former children's star had his honour annulled at the order of the Queen, days after being stripped of his Australian honours. Officials at the Cabinet Office had been accused of dragging their feet over the issue, but sources insisted they had to follow established procedures before removing the gong. Rebates: Rolf Harris is expected to give most of his fortune to his wife Alwen (right) and his daughter Bindi . Harris was first honoured in the late 1960s with an MBE, followed by an OBE a decade later, and a CBE in 2006.

+{"article": "All cigarettes in Britain will be sold in plain packets bearing gruesome health warnings under a landmark new law backed by MPs today. The legislation, which will come into force from May next year, easily cleared the Commons by 367 votes to 113. It follows the example of Australia, which became the first country in the world to introduce the public health law two years ago to deter a new generation of young smokers. Britain is to become the second country in the world to introduce plain packaging for cigarettes . Powers to introduce standardised packaging were in passed the Children and Families Act 2014, but MPs must vote on bringing them into force. More than 100 mostly-Tory MPs opposed the move in a free vote this afternoon, but it passed into law with the support of Labour and the Lib Dems. Critics said the idea will not prevent people smoking, could confuse consumers and fuel illegal imports. But public health minister Jane Ellison insisted the plan would bring the country 'one step closer to our first smoke-free generation'. She said she recognised concerns that standardised packaging for cigarettes could be a 'slippery slope' towards a similar approach to other products such as junk food and alcohol. But she told MPs: 'The Government has no intention to extend standardised packaging to any other product than tobacco. 'Tobacco is a uniquely harmful consumer good and as such it's been treated uniquely in regulatory terms for many years.' Ahead of the vote Deborah Arnott, chief executive of health charity ASH, said she was confident that MPs will vote for the standardised packaging 'by a large majority'. 'There is strong support amongst parliamentarians from right across the political spectrum for this important public health measure to protect children and save lives,' she added. Public health minister Jane Ellison insists the plan would bring the country 'one step closer to our first smoke-free generation' Cancer Research UK's Alison Cox said: 'The public health community has been united in calling for the introduction of plain, standardised packaging of tobacco products across the UK. 'The growing weight of peer-reviewed evidence that standard packs reduce the appeal of smoking to children has crushed the tobacco company counter claims.' Dr Jenny Hatchard, from University of Bath's Tobacco Control Research Group, said: 'Tobacco companies have undertaken an unremitting three year opposition campaign, in which they hid behind third parties as they tried to dissuade politicians from acting in the interests of children's health. 'The vote indicates that the strong evidence that this measure is likely to reduce the appeal of smoking and bring health benefits for young people for generations to come has finally won out.' However, pro-smoking groups said the public did not support the plan. Simon Clark, director of the smokers' group Forest which runs the Hands Off Our Packs campaign, said voters did not see it as a priority. 'The public wants parliament to prioritise tackling immigration and terrorism, not plain packaging of cigarettes. 'Plain packaging legislation is an ill-judged sideshow and a distraction from the real challenges", "summary": "MPs back new law on plain packaging which comes into effect next May .

The probe at Bethnal Green Academy has been launched after four girls left their homes to join Islamic State. Fears of a wider problem of fanaticism at the school in East London have emerged when four of their friends and fellow pupils had their passports confiscated before they could make the same journey.

'She was taken away from me a few times in the night and taken into special care. It wasn't until they X-rayed her that I was told what was wrong.' Oesophageal atresia is a rare birth defect that affects the baby's oesophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. In oesophageal atresia, the upper part of the oesophagus doesn't connect with the lower oesophagus and stomach. It ends in a pouch, which means food cannot reach the stomach. It often happens together with another birth defect called a tracheoesophageal fistula, which is a connection between the upper part of the oesophagus and the windpipe (trachea). This causes air to pass from the windpipe to the oesophagus and stomach, and stomach acid to pass into the lungs. It's not known why the defect develops, but it's more likely to happen in babies of mothers who had too much amniotic fluid in pregnancy (polyhydramnios). The defect means the baby won't be able to swallow and digest food safely, or at all. Oesophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula are thought to affect about one in 2,500-3,500 births.

In a remarkable coincidence, Antonello Tonna told today how he was on board the Costa Fascinosa when the shootout began at the Bardo Museum in Tunis yesterday. The anguished musician, who did not disembark the ship, had only just returned to playing at sea following the trauma of the Concordia disaster in January 2012. He described it as a 'tragic destiny' that he had been involved in the two harrowing incidents, in the space of just three years. According to The Telegraph, he told Italian media: 'Mine is a tragic destiny - to be called by journalists once again about a drama that I have been involved in. 'I'm reliving the same powerful emotions that I went through during the sinking of the Concordia.' Mr Tonna told how he had returned to sea earlier this year after a three-year hiatus. 'After three years I decided to go back because I missed the ships,' he told RAI state television. Mr Tonna also told how he had stayed on the ship when it docked in Tunis, but later heard about the attack through a text message from his wife. He said he subsequently saw teary, shaken passengers returning to their cabins. Three passengers from the ship were killed - four Italians and a Russian - and eight others were injured. 'There was a great deal of apprehension, with passengers glued to their mobiles trying to get information,' he said. 'We are hugging each other more. I have to say, there is a lot, a lot of solidarity.' The Fascinosa left port Thursday morning, bound for Spain's Palma de Mallorca, where passengers would be allowed to disembark and go home on Costa's tab if they want to cut short the cruise.

And the girl isn't even his. Willie Carson says he suffered for years as he struggled to make monthly payments and now that it's been proven he can't possibly be father to the girl, who he's also never even met, he may still be forced to pay up. Expensive mistake: Willie Carson of Houston, Texas has had his wages garnished for some 13 years because he was erroneously included on a girl's birth certificate . According to Texas state law, he's required to pay any outstanding payments owed, as well as any accrued interest. All this, despite DNA tests proving unequivocally Carson is not the father and all because he was initially named on the birth certificate by the mother. 'I've never seen the child. I never spoke to the child. I don't know what the child looks like,' Carson told MyFoxHouston. Nonetheless, because of his garnished paychecks, he says: . 'There were days that I didn't eat. I went without electricity.' Carson has a court appearance on Monday, one he hopes will save him from losing all his hard earned cash to what amounts to a clerical error. 'I'm hoping for it but the judge has the last say so,' he said. In Texas, the answer is: when the man is finished paying. The termination of the man\u2019s parental rights ends the obligation to pay future support, as of the date the order is rendered. However, the order does not eliminate any child support obligations before that date or any interest that has accrued.

And Carson is far from alone. Another Texas man, Ray Thomas, reached out to KHOU in 2011 to discuss the very same predicament. The Texas man owed even more than Carson, though. He owed back child support amounting to $50,000, $13,000 of which was interest. I don t understand the judge can just give you a baby that ain't yours, Thomas said at the time.

Vaughters, who rode with Armstrong in the US Postal Service team in 1998 and 1999, was however wary of his motives for accepting an invitation from fellow cancer survivor Geoff Thomas to join him in a charity ride. \u2018I sincerely hope his reasons for wanting to do that are altruistic.I have no idea what his motivations are. If it's altruistic then it's hard to condemn anything altruistic, across the board. If it's part of a greater commercial strategy or legal strategy, then I feel like that's disingenuous.\u2019 Vaughters, speaking at a UK anti-doping conference, said Armstrong\u2019s lifetime ban from competition was not the only way he had been punished. \u2018One of the biggest penalties that guys face when they are caught for doping is the loss of their social group,\u2019 he said, \u2018They're no longer accepted amongst their tribe, their people that they were once close with. He would like social acceptance again. I'm assuming that's a little bit what he's after (with the charity ride).\u2019 Vaughters welcomed reports that Armstrong has met with US anti-doping boss Travis Tygart in Denver, Colorado. It's positive news. I don't know what his motivations are, but to me that's good news. My experiences with Travis have been nothing but positive.\u2019 Thomas and a team of cyclists will ride the route of this summer\u2019s Tour one day ahead of the professional peloton, with Armstrong planning to join them for two stages. But Cookson branded Armstrong\u2019s involvement \u2018inappropriate and disrespectful\u2019. Roche, who in 1987 became the second of only two cyclists to win the Triple Crown of the Tour, the Giro D\u2019Italia and the world road race title, said: \u2018I believe in what he\u2019s (Thomas)", "summary": "Lance Armstrong is set to ride Tour de France course to raise money for cancer charity run by former footballer Geoff Thomas .

Kenneth Brown, 75, died in his bathroom from carbon monoxide poisoning in the same spot where wife Helen, 71, was found under a blanket the year before. Portsmouth Coroner's Court heard that he had been 'living in misery' since his wife's death, and was found on October 30 last year after sending letters to his sons explaining his decision. Portsmouth Coroner's Court (pictured) heard that Kenneth Brown had been 'living in misery' since the death of his wife, who killed herself in a joint suicide attempt which he narrowly survived . Helen Brown became suicidal due to a severe bout of depression brought on by illness, and had attempted suicide several times before husband Kenneth agreed to help her kill herself. Mr Brown, a former company director, decided he wanted to die alongside his wife to avoid being sent to jail afterwards. He survived the initial attempt after emergency services were called, but Portsmouth coroner's court heard the near miss had brought on a severe bout of depression. Coroner David Horsley (pictured) said it was a 'very sad' case, and told Mr Brown's two sons that he hoped never to see them again . Police rushed to his address in Liss, Hampshire, for a second time on October last year after receiving a signed letter saying he had gassed himself, but were unable to save him. His son James told the hearing how his father had been depressed following the death of his wife and had finally 'got what he wanted.' He said: 'It's an unfortunate turn of events but ultimately I'm happy that he got what he wanted, as he'd only been living there in misery. 'Maybe he would have come out of it in a few years but he wouldn't have seen the point in continuing, he wouldn't have seen the point in going on.' Mr Brown had posted letters to his two sons shortly before killing himself explaining his decision. Portsmouth coroner David Horsley, who presided over the inquest into Mrs Brown's death, recorded a verdict of suicide, noting that retired company director Mr Brown was severely depressed at the time. He told Mr Brown's sons: 'I really hope that I never see anybody from your family in this court again. I'm so, so sorry that you are here. 'The sad story is that basically he had given up since the death of your mother. 'He had chosen to withdraw from things and I think we can understand that really given the circumstances leading up to it including your mother's death. 'All I can say is how terribly sorry I am to you and all of your family that this has happened. How dreadful for you, I really am sorry.'", "summary": "Kenneth Brown, 75, had been 'living in misery' since death of wife Helen .

Jon Cruz, who works at the Bronx High School of Science in New York City, is accused of grooming at least four boys through the Kik messaging app and bribing them to send the photos. Cruz, 31, has been charged with luring minors into sexual conduct as well as soliciting and possessing child pornography, and appeared in court Friday. Scroll down for chat logs seized by the FBI . Charges: Jon Cruz, who teaches in the Bronx, allegedly posed online as a teenager and paid large sums of money for nude photos, 'thumbs-up selfies' and pictures of feet from boys as young as 12 . Big fan: Cruz's social media presence shows him dressed repeatedly as Liberace. He is pictured left in full costume, and right inside a classroom .

Social media profiles belonging to the teacher also show Cruz dressing up repeatedly as Liberace, even donning the costume around school. In some posts he referred to himself as 'Cruzerace'. He allegedly posed as a rich 16-year-old using photographs of an old Bronx Science student and started offering hundreds of dollars at a time for photos - and even sent some of the messages from school premises. Two of the boys are said to have sent him naked photographs, while two others allegedly sent suggestive pictures showing the bodies and faces, posed according to his instructions. Chat logs obtained by FBI agents, and linked to Cruz, show him talking repeatedly about feet and asking the boys to play up how much of a 'popular jock' they are. He also asks for 'thumbs-up selfies' on more than one occasion. In exchange, he sent Visa and American Express gift cards worth as much as $1,600, while asking his victims for the names of more boys he could pursue, according to a criminal complaint. Agents investigating Cruz also claim he tried repeatedly to engage in sexual conversations with the boys, some of which are too explicit to reproduce. The complaint said that one victim was a 15-year-old boy from New Mexico. It alleges that after paying him $900 for pictures of his feet and face, he convinced the boy to send him a cache of at least five nude pictures, posed in his bathroom, in exchange for $450.

One of Scotland\u2019s most successful cricketers has been sent home from the World Cup in disgrace after suggesting his axing from a match was racially motivated. Majid Haq, the country\u2019s leading wicket-taker and most capped player, was ordered to fly back early from Australia for breaching the team\u2019s code of conduct. Haq was not selected for the team that lost to Sri Lanka in Hobart yesterday and later tweeted: \u2018Always tougher when your in the minority! #colour #race\u2019, before later deleting the post. After the match, Cricket Scotland broke the news in a brief statement that 32-year-old Haq was coming home early, adding: \u2018No further statement will be issued until internal processes have been completed.\u2019 The Paisley-born cricketer now faces a disciplinary hearing which could decide whether his distinguished ten-year career continues or is brought to an ignominious end. The spin bowler, who made his first-class debut with the national team in 2004, suffered mixed fortunes in the World Cup in which Scotland has lost all five pool matches so far. It has a last game on Saturday in which to register a win, but that\u2019s a tall order against four-time champions and co-hosts Australia. Haq took three wickets in Scotland\u2019s first four matches, and was dropped after bowling figures of 0-49 and scoring only one run in the defeat to Bangladesh at Nelson in New Zealand on March 5. In the match against England on February 22, offspinner Haq dismissed opener Moeen Ali to claim a record 257th wicket for Scotland. Former England all-rounder Ian Botham and ex-coach David Lloyd ruffled feathers when they branded the Clydesdale Cricket Club bowler a \u2018lobber\u2019 in their TV commentary. At the time, Scotland\u2019s director of cricket Andy Tennant, a specialist spin coach, came to his player\u2019s defence, insisting he was \u2018world class\u2019. Tennant said: \u2018The commentators kept going on about how slowly Maj was bowling but his flight and dip in the air is what makes him a special bowler. Haq was dropped from Scotland's squad for their defeat to Sri Lanka yesterday after bowling figures of 0-49 and scoring just one run in the previous game, but suggested the move was racially motivated . \u2018What they portrayed as a weakness is actually a strength.

+{"article": "A DIFFERENT KIND OF WEATHER . by William Waldegrave . (Constable \u00a320) At the start of the Falklands War in 1982, William Waldegrave, then a junior minister in Margaret Thatcher\u2019s government, was standing in the division lobby of the House of Commons when he saw Thatcher and her entourage of \u2018toadies\u2019 marching towards him. He felt compelled to say something, so, with the U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig at the time trying to broker a British \u2018sell-out\u2019 to the Argentinians, he asked: \u2018Where do the Americans stand, Prime Minister?\u2019 \u2018I don\u2019t know, William,\u2019 came the immediate reply. \u2018But I know where they are going to stand.\u2019 Would that David Cameron could deal so unequivocally with the White House, but then none of Thatcher\u2019s successors have, least of all the pusillanimous Tony Blair, whom Waldegrave compares with Ted Heath. Margaret Thatcher (right) is once said to have fought off Norman Tebbit (left) with a snarling remark in Waldegrave's defence . This is surprising, for Waldegrave was a passionate Heath loyalist before transferring his allegiance to Thatcher. But he is surely right when he asserts that Heath\u2019s great disappointment in life was that the patriotic, liberal Conservative Party in which he believed so fervently \u2014 \u2018he and it were family\u2019 \u2014 did not return his devotion. And in that respect Waldegrave is reminded of Blair, who \u2018genuinely thought \u2014 and thinks \u2014 that he created a family called New Labour which loved him\u2019. In fact it was success that New Labour loved, not Blair. This absorbing memoir contains some choice gossip as a counter-balance to Waldegrave\u2019s insightful political analysis. Getting back to Heath, he recalls one of the old curmudgeon\u2019s dinner parties \u2014 \u2018not occasions of much merriment\u2019 \u2014 at which Emma Soames gamely tried to enliven proceedings with an anecdote about her brother Nicholas, who had just been selected to contest a tough seat in Glasgow. At a raucous selection meeting, very unlike anything in the Home Counties, the prospective MP had been grasped by the lapels and asked, \u2018Are ye married?\u2019 Around Heath\u2019s table, the diners waited expectantly for the end of an amusing story, but Soames suddenly and mystifyingly stopped speaking. Driving her home later, Waldegrave asked if she\u2019d forgotten the punchline? \u2018No,\u2019 she said. \u2018I was on autopilot and got that far without remembering that after Nicholas admitted to being unmarried, the response was: \u201cOch, not another Tory poofter!\u201d \u2019 She hadn\u2019t wanted to offend her illustrious host, whose sexuality was always the subject of speculation \u2014 though Waldegrave adds that in relation to the Scotsman\u2019s allegation, it was not \u2018as far as anyone I ever knew could discover, true\u2019. Waldegrave\u2019s own background differs markedly from those of two of his Tory heroes, Heath and Thatcher, if rather less from that of another, the grouse-shooting enthusiast Harold Macmillan, whom he recalls silencing another dinner party, this time at Waldegrave\u2019s own house, by turning to his neighbour and declaring: \u2018Such a pity they abolished the gold sovereign, you know.

Twitter's rules have been updated in an attempt to clamp down on revenge porn. Under 'Private information' (pictured) the guidelines now say that users must not 'post intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject's consent'.

Twitter said 'agents will then act on content posted in violation of the policy', including removing the post or suspending the accounts of repeat offenders. 'Users who believe that content they post has been incorrectly identified is violating the policy can appeal the decision and agents will review that request as well,' said the firm. 'Content that is identified as violating our policy will be hidden from public view and users posting it will have their accounts locked; those users will be required to delete the content in question before being able to return to the platform.

Last month Peter Gerard Scully from Melbourne was arrested after the body of a teenage girl was found buried under a house he rented in in Malaybalay, Bukidnon. The 52-year-old had allegedly established a 'pay for view' scheme where clients from across the globe paid to live-stream videos of children being tortured and sexually abused as per their requests. It has created such outrage in the Philippines that calls are growing daily to have him executed. Peter Gerald Scully (right) was arrested for human trafficking and child porn-related offences arising from his alleged sexual abuse of Filipino girls which was filmed and then posted online for paying clients . The death penalty was suspended in the Philippines in 2006, but an influential conservative politician told The Sydney Morning Herald that the Australian's alleged crimes were so depraved he should be put to death. 'The Philippine government should directly and seriously address the problem of paedophilia, child exploitation and sexual abuse by supporting the move to reimpose the death penalty,' Sherwin Gatchalian, an MP with the Nationalist People's Coalition, said. Filipinos across the country took to social media to call for his execution. It's alleged that Scully, from the Melbourne suburb of Burwood, took part in perverted acts against children as young as one, which he filmed. He was also running a lucrative business live-streaming videos in a 'pay for view' scheme. Police said Scully would undertake acts in response to requests from his clientele, who were mostly based in Europe. Scully managed to avoid being arrested until February 20 this year before a former partner told police that Scully had killed one of his child victims in 2013. It was after this shocking revelation that the remains of a 10-year-old girl were found at a home formerly rented by Scully.

'Whoever fired those shots should not detract from the issue - they are criminals, they need to be arrested. And then what we need to do is make sure that like-minded, good-spirited people on both sides - law enforcement, who have a terrifically tough job, and people who understandably don't want to be stopped and harassed just because of their race - that they are able to work together to come up with some good answers.'

According to Simoneau's plea agreement, the man killed his spouse because of a 'sudden quarrel in the heat of passion.' Initially, Fumkio Ogawa's remains uncovered in a shallow grave in the California desert were thought to be an unfortunate border crosser, but a DNA test determined that it was the missing woman. Prosecutors said the cause of death remains unknown to this day because of the body's deteriorated condition.

Adrian Bayley, 43, has been convicted of raping and attempting to rape 12 women from 1991 to 2012 . He then punched her in the mouth and raped her, promising to kill her if she did not submit to his disgusting will. He called her a 'f**king slut' and again threatened to kill her if she reported the attack. Bayley reportedly then stripped her naked and dumped her in a lane-way. The woman said she recognised Bayley immediately when the haunting CCTV footage of Jill Meagher flashed across her television screen. A prison psychologist told Victoria County Court Bayley found pleasure in hurting and dominating his victims . 'That's him...that's definitely him,' she reportedly said.

Eric Garrett, from Muncie, Indiana, was just four when a man entered the home he shared with his mother, 22-year-old Paula Garrett, on March 25, 1979 and savagely beat them with a blunt object - killing her and fracturing the little boy's skull. A few weeks later, when he was finally well enough to speak with police, he named the attacker as Richard Green, his mother's on-off boyfriend and a married father-of-four. Even though prosecutors concluded Green was not responsible for the attack, Garrett continues to stand by his childhood claim, while neighbors have also recounted the couple's troubled relationship. Witness: Eric Garrett, pictured left, is calling for a new investigation into the 1979 murder of his mother, 22-year-old Paula Garrett, right. He says he saw her boyfriend in their apartment before the attack . 'This case isn't unsolved, it's just unprosecuted,' Garrett, now 40, told NBC News. Paula Garrett and Green had met at the restaurant where Paula worked as a waitress and the night before her death, he was at her apartment, investigators told NBC's Dan Slepian. Green told police that he left late that night and then visited her apartment the following afternoon, where he came across her body. He then alerted neighbors. But family members told NBC's Dan Slepian that Green had been possessive and abusive, and that Paula had been trying to break up with him at the time of her death. A neighbor, Larry Smith, added to NBC that he often heard the couple fighting and the night she was killed, he heard Green shout: 'You think you're going to get away with this?' The following day, Green barged into Smith's apartment and told the neighbor that Paula had killed herself, he said. When Smith rushed into the apartment with Green, 'I immediately realized this was no suicide', he said. 'Blood was everywhere.' He also noticed that her son was covered in blood on the ground but was opening his eyes. He picked up the boy's limp body - all while Green did nothing, Smith said. When Eric was well enough to speak to police, he named the man and picked his photo from a lineup. He told NBC that he had been sleeping when Green walked in and switched on the light, giving him a good view of his mother's killer. But a defense team today would raise issues with Garrett's claims, considering his age, the passage of time and the injuries he sustained in the attack, experts told NBC.

City and their manager Manuel Pellegrini suffered a barrage of criticism last week after defeats to Barcelona and Liverpool damaged their European and domestic title hopes. They at least got back to winning ways on the home front in midweek as they edged to a disjointed 2-0 victory over bottom side Leicester at the Etihad Stadium. James Milner scored Manchester City's second goal in Wednesday night's 2-0 win over Leicester City . Chelsea remain five points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand but, after the late charges that won titles in 2012 and 2014, Milner is not giving up hope. The England international, who scored City's second goal against the Foxes in the 89th minute, said: 'I think we have played better but it is pleasing to get a result. 'It was important to bounce back after the disappointment of the weekend. 'Now it is about recovering from this period and getting back to 100 per cent, then working on things that we have been struggling on and getting back to the form we know we can hit and have shown in games, for periods of maybe 10, 15 or 20 minutes at a time.

+{"article": "Seventeen years after Oregon decided to become the first state to hold all elections with mail-in ballots, it took another pioneering step on Monday to broaden participation by automatically registering people to vote. Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill that puts the burden of registration on the state instead of voters. Under the legislation, every adult citizen in Oregon who has interacted with the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division since 2013 but hasn't registered to vote will receive a ballot in the mail at least 20 days before the next statewide election. The measure is expected to add about 300,000 new voters to the rolls. Eligible Oregonians will get postcards saying they've been registered and have three weeks to opt out. They'll automatically be registered as 'unaffiliated' but can select a political party on the postcard and return it to election officials through the mail. They can also choose to cancel their voter registration entirely. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed an automatic voter registration bill on Monday, March 16; Oregon has been holding elections by mail for 17 years . Oregon Republicans are already angry about the possibility for voter fraud \u2013 millions of ballots will be in mailboxes with limited control over what happens to them \u2013 along with the cost of implementing the measure and whether the DMV can ensure personal information remains secure. Information the DMV has on file, such as age, residential information, signature and citizenship status, will be transferred to the secretary of state, who will then automatically update registration information. But more than anything, Oregon's new law changes an 'opt-in' voting system to one where people can only choose to 'opt out.' 'It just changes expectations for who's responsible for making elections work,' said Barry Burden, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and director of the Elections Research Center. 'In every other state it's the responsibility for the voters to make sure it happens.' Some other states have considered such legislation but none has gone as far as Oregon. Minnesota nearly implemented automatic voter registration in 2009 before the plan was vetoed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who said 'registering to vote should be a voluntary, intentional act.' Similar concerns were raised by Oregon's minority Republicans. 'Simply because it makes us unique or makes us first does not necessarily mean that it actually improves on what we're doing,' said state Sen. Jackie Winters, a Republican from Salem. When it came up for a vote in the state Senate last week, all Republicans and one Democrat voted against it. The Democrats hold a 18-12 advantage in the Senate so the bill easily passed. State Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, a Portland Democrat who carried the bill in the Senate, said there were rumblings the measure was a 'secret plot' to enroll more Democrats. But she denied that was true. Oregon already has one of the highest voter registration rates in the nation \u2014 73 percent of Oregonians were registered to vote and 70 percent of them cast ballots during the 2014 general", "summary": "Ballots will be sent to about 300,000 new voters, whether or not they want them .

The intact Iron Age organ was discovered inside a decapitated skull in York seven years ago and since then experts have conducted tests to explain how the tissue could have stood the test of time. Tests have revealed that the brain and other remains are 2,600 years old and have survived because the head was buried in a sealed clay pit devoid of oxygen, soon after its owner\u2019s death. The oldest human brain ever to be discovered, was probably preserved for over 2,000 years thanks to mud, archaeologists claim. The intact organ (pictured) was discovered inside a decapitated skull in York seven years ago and since then experts have conducted tests to explain how the tissue could survive . In 2009, archaeologists from York Archaeological Trust uncovered a skull with the jaw and two vertebrae still attached to it, in Heslington, York. The skull was found face-down in a pit without any evidence of what had happened to the rest of the body. At first, archaeologists thought they had found a normal skull and it was not until the bones were cleaned that they came across 'something loose' inside. Rachel Cubitt, the Collection Projects Officer said: \u2018I peered through the hole at the base of the skull to investigate and to my surprise saw a quantity of bright yellow spongy material. \u2018It was unlike anything I had seen before.\u2019 An archaeologist at the University of Bradford confirmed the tissue was brain and experts from York Hospital\u2019s Mortuary they were able to remove the top of the skull in order to reveal the astonishingly well-preserved human brain. The skull (pictured) was found face-down in a pit without any evidence of what had happened to the rest of the body. In this image it is still covered in mud, protecting the contents inside . Archaeologists first thought the skull was unremarkable, but upon closer examination, saw the 'bright yellow spongy material' which turned out to be a brain. Here, Dr O'Conner examines the remains . Experts can't be certain but think that the delicate brain tissue survived the ravages of time because of a mixture of a sealed clay pit and fats and proteins linking together. They think that the head was cut from the man\u2019s body almost immediately after he was killed and buried in a pit dug in wet clay-rich ground. This environment provided sealed, oxygen-free burial conditions. While over time, the skin, hair and flesh of the skull rotted away, the fats and proteins of the brain tissue linked together to form a mass of large complex molecules. This resulted in the brain shrinking, but it also preserved its shape and many microscopic features only found in brain tissue, the surmise. As there was no new oxygen in the brain, and no movement, it was protected and preserved. They have now carbon dated the jaw bone to confirm the man probably lived in the 6th century BC.

This is history that you are throwing away here\u2019. Mrs Clinton, who is expected to run for President in 2016, has yet to comment on the row over her private email server, which she set up in 2009 when she came to office. Federal law requires all letters and emails written by government officials to be retained for Congressional committees, historians and so the media can access them. However Mrs Clinton did not even have a government email address whilst serving as America\u2019s top diplomat for four years until 2013. Mrs Clinton\u2019s actions mean it will be harder to obtain copies of the emails through Freedom of Information laws - and could have been a breach of federal law. The former official said he did not know at the time what Mrs Clinton was doing but said that he was \u2018not surprised\u2019 when it became public knowledge.

Hillary was no different\u2019. The former official said that the rules from the National Archives are \u2018antiquated\u2019 and say that it falls on the individual to save their emails for archiving purposes. There is little oversight meaning that Mrs Clinton would have effectively been able to decide herself how she would be presented in the history books, which the official said was wrong.

Peterson, posing above with one birthday guest, celebrated turning 30 on Saturday with a no-expense-spared party in his home state of Texas . The big 3-0 typically signals the beginning of the end for an NFL running back, but Peterson didn\u2019t let that spoil his fun on Saturday night. The Vikings' all-time leading rusher appeared in only one game in 2014 because of the child abuse case that involved injuries to his four-year-old son. He was indicted on September 11, 2014, by a Montgomery County, Texas, grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child that occurred on May 18, 2014. He is accused of beating his four-year-old son with a tree branch, which Peterson consistently referred to as a 'switch', causing severe welts and bleeding on the child's back, legs, buttocks, genitals and ankles. In their initial response, the Vikings deactivated Peterson for a single game. Peterson\u2019s 2014 NFL season was over after arbitrator Shyam Das ruled in favor of the NFL on November 18, 2014, saying, 'the league can keep Adrian Peterson on the commissioner\u2019s exempt list,' effectively terminating the Minnesota Vikings running back's season.

Peterson was returned to the special exempt list, pending further developments on the legal front. He has three years remaining on his Vikings contract and is owed $12.75 million next season, but relations between the two parties are currently described as tenuous.

A new US study may make you think twice about biting a piece of lettuce.Scientists claim plants can feel themselves being eaten alive \u2013 and some can even tell what type of creature is attacking them . 'It was no surprise that plants responded differently to having their leaves chewed by a caterpillar or sucked by an aphid,' Heidi Appel, senior research scientist University of Missouri told the Washington Post. 'What surprised us was how different plant responses were to each of the caterpillars and aphids. The plants could clearly tell insects apart - they really seem to \"know\" who's attacking.' Professor Appel exposed a group of Arabidopsis, which is part of the cabbage family, to cabbage butterfly caterpillars and beet army worms. She predicted that as the insects eat the plant, Arabidopsis could tell by the chewing motion and the drool whether the creature was a butterfly or a worm. Heidi Appel (left) and Rex Cocroft (right) previously conducted a study that found plants can identify sounds nearby, such as the sound of eating, and then react to the threats in their environment . She also believed that the plant could tell several different insects apart, even when they were eating the leaves simultaneously. To test her theory, she harvested the chewed up Arabidopsis, extracted the genes, and froze it in a laboratory. Plants attempt to defend themselves using different methods, such as giving off spicy flavours and rancid smells. These defences are expressed in their genes. Researchers in Bonn, Germany, found plants give off a gas when under 'attack'. Super-sensitive microphones picked up a 'bubbling' sound from a healthy plant. But this rose to a piercing screech when it was under threat. Even a tiny insect bite could have an effect. 'The more a plant is subjected to stress, the louder the signal,' said Dr Frank K\u00fchnemann. Plants do not actually scream in pain. But different sounds are heard when the gas they emit, ethylene, is bombarded with lasers. The research could help to work out which pieces of fruit and vegetables are likely to stay fresh longer, as a cucumber which is starting to go off produces a squealing sound. It could then be separated from the fresher ones. Based on the gene analysis, Professor Appel found that the plant can sense when a caterpillar is drooling and provides a different defence mechanism, than if it sensed a butterfly. There were also different genetic responses to each worm, showing that the plant knew what was eating it. Professor Appel hopes that this will allow scientists to breed plants that are naturally insect resistant rather than spraying them with pesticides.

Now researchers are claiming that our brains may in fact be far simpler than had previously been believed - and it took research on sea slugs to reveal it. Neuroscientists based at Manchester University and the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago, have studied the brains of sea slugs as they move. Researchers studied the brains of the sea slug Aplysia (pictured above), which have around 18,000 neurons . Their brains, while far smaller than our own, share some of the complex structures of higher organisms while their neurons are large and easy to observe. The researchers found that rather than creating a mass of confusing signals that appear in scans of the human brain, they were able to see neurons acting as groups. The act of remembering may be one of the major reasons why we forget, researchers have said. The groundbreaking research was able to identify identify neural fingerprints of specific memories, distinguishing brain activity patterns produced when viewing a picture of a necklace, say, from a picture of Marilyn Monroe. The study proved that intentional recall is beyond a simple reawakening of a memory; and actually leads us to forget other competing experiences that interfere with retrieval. The study from the University of Birmingham and the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge is the first to isolate the 'adaptive forgetting' mechanism in the human brain. The brain imaging study found that remembering dynamically alters which aspects of our past remain accessible. They found that these groups were actually laid out like tiles to form a circuit. The scientists say that similar patterns exist in the brains of other organisms, including humans, but are scaled up by millions of times. Dr Mark Humphries, a Medical Research Council fellow at Manchester University who was involved in the research, said: 'What happens in the brain during movement is currently only well understood for small, dedicated neural circuits. 'This research introduces new methods for pulling apart neural circuits to expose their inner building blocks. 'Our methods could be used to help understand how brain networks change in disease states and how drugs act to restore normal brain function.' Sea slugs have just 18,000 neurons in their entire nervous systems yet have been found to be remarkably similar to other organisms. Previous research has shown that they can form memories and signal muscle movements in the same way as higher organisms. Until recently scientists have had to study brain activity by looking at the action of individual neurons using electrodes. Even sophisticated brain scanning technology like functional magnetic resonance fails to provide a clear picture of how the brain is organised beyond its physical structures.

+{"article": "Ionut Tudorache (pictured) was caught with 22 stolen mobile phones stuffed down his trousers just days after arriving in Britain . A Romanian pickpocket has been jailed after he admitted stealing 22 mobile phones just days after arriving in Britain. Ionut Tudorache, 25, was part of an organised gang that targeted music fans at a Kasabian gig, stealing their phones while they were dancing. He wore a pair of tights hidden under his jeans which acted as a net to hold the devices, but claimed he didn't realise what was happening until two Romanians he had befriended starting stuffing the phones down his tights. Immigrant Tudorache had only been in the UK a few days when he committed the crime at the concert at Bournemouth International Centre in Dorset. He was caught when he aroused the suspicions of the BIC's security team, who stopped and searched him then found the phones down the pair of tights. Staff at the venue had been on red alert following similar incidents at the band's previous gigs there, Bournemouth Crown Court heard. Stuart Ellacott, prosecuting, said: 'The defendant drew the attention of the security guards by not making eye contact. 'He was stopped and searched, and the mobile phones were found in a pair of tights he was wearing underneath his trousers.' Despite the fact he committed the crime just days after arriving in Britain, he is unlikely to be deported due to strict laws on removing EU citizens. Without a court recommendation or tougher prison sentence, he can now only be removed at the behest of the Home Secretary. Nicholas Robinson, defending, told the court that Tudorache had not physically taken the phones from their owners at the concert. He claimed Tudorache had been recruited by two Romanians when he had arrived in London and travelled with them to Bournemouth. Mr Robinson said Tudorache, a qualified electromechanical engineer, had not known what he was getting involved until the men he was with started putting the phones down his tights at the gig on November 25 last year. He said: 'My client was not the pickpocket who actually stole the phones. 'He came here hoping for a better life. He had been in London for three or four days and he didn't know anyone. 'He met two Romanian gentlemen and he came down to Bournemouth with them. 'He was told to wear the tights because it would be cold on the south coast.' Tudorache, of no fixed abode, admitted 22 counts of theft of a mobile phone. In jailing him for nine months, Judge John Harrow said: 'You had been in this country a matter of days before you broke the law. You must have known that you were being dishonest.' Tudorache operated as part of a criminal gang targeting concert-goers at the Bournemouth International Centre (pictured) The incident is the latest in a spate of attacks on concert-goers by criminal gangs. Thieves have previously targeted fans at concerts by bands such as Oasis, Kings of Leon, Stereophonics and Sugababes at the BIC.

+{"article": "The US military\u2019s Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (Darpa) says they may have a method to stop all infectious diseases - including Ebola. By encoding RNA and DNA in a specific way, Darpa say a person could simply go into a shop and get an injection to protect them against a disease. This could be used to prevent mass outbreaks in affected areas. US military's Darpa has developed a method to stop infectious diseases. It involves encoding RNA and DNA with instructions for antibodies. A person could then be injected with the antibodies at a pharmacy (stock image shown). This enables a person's cells to fight an infectious disease . \u2018We\u2019re going to take the genetic code and put it into a format where you go to your drug store or doctor and get a shot in the arm,\u2019 said Darpa programme manager Dan Wattendorf at an event in San Francisco, reported Fusion. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. It is one of three important molecules that are essential for all known forms of life - as well as proteins and lipids. RNA is formed from strings of nucleic acids, the same building blocks that create DNA. Genetic information in a cell flows from DNA through RNA to proteins. DNA is considered the 'blueprint' of the cell and RNA is what helps translate it. Some life, like viruses, only use RNA and it is thought that some of the earliest organisms on Earth used this molecule. Proteins are considered to be the workhorses of the cell built up from strings of amino acids. These carry out the biochemical reactions that take place in the cell and make life tick. Lipids are fatty molecules that line up in formation that can create protective vesicles. They form the membrane 'walls' of every living cell and give them structure. They are also essential for sending signals out of the cell. \u2018There\u2019s a low-cost of goods, no cold chain, and we would produce the correct antibody in [any] individual directly.\u2019 The method works by creating powerful antibodies from survivors of an infectious disease. \u2018Instructions\u2019 on how to make these antibodies are then encoded into RNA and DNA, which are injected into people who might come into contact with the disease. Their cells then start creating the antibodies, protecting them from catching the potentially dangerous disease. Darpa is currently funding the project through Emory University in Atlanta. Experts say the method, if proven to be safe and effective, would be faster and cheaper than conventional drug production and could potentially be used to treat illnesses such as seasonal flu or malaria. Antibodies are typically grown in large vats of mammal cells or in some cases, tobacco plants, such as US pharmaceutical company Mapp Biopharmaceutical's experimental Ebola treatment ZMapp. Experts say the method, if proven to be safe and effective, would be faster and cheaper than conventional drug production and could potentially be used to treat illnesses such as seasonal flu, malaria and Ebola.

I understand why a swathe of the club\u2019s support has started to give up hope that Wenger can recreate the success he brought to the club more than a decade ago. I even started to inch in that direction myself last autumn after Arsenal made a poor start to this season. Sometimes, it feels like Wenger is the problem, not the solution. He is a stubborn man and it can be hard to defend the choices he makes. Arsene Wenger is facing increasing calls for his resignation from Arsenal fans after an undulating season . Wenger look despondently as Monaco tear Arsenal side apart in the last 16 first-leg Champions League tie . After the desperately dispiriting defeat by Monaco, Wenger will come under fierce scrutiny again when Arsenal visit Manchester United to contest an FA Cup quarter-final.

Well, maybe they should be thinking about slamming the brakes on it instead. Because in the last five months, Arsenal have taken great strides forward. I don\u2019t buy the idea that the club is standing still or even going backwards. The defeat by Monaco notwithstanding, there are real signs of progress at last. Put it this way, if you are an Arsenal fan, which team in the Premier League would you swap places with today? Look around. Which team looks more upwardly mobile or better set for the future than Wenger\u2019s side? Manchester City? I don\u2019t think so. City are creaking. They\u2019re starting to look like a side at the end of an old cycle, not at the start of a new one. Manchester United? Be serious. United may have spent lavishly under Louis van Gaal but they are beset by doubts about Radamel Falcao, Angel di Maria and Robin van Persie. And that\u2019s before we start on their defence and the continuing absence of a dominating central midfield player. Despite all their lavish investment, Manchester City do not look like defending their Premier League crown . Angel di Maria has been a disappointment since joining Manchester United for \u00a360m from Real Madrid . Spurs? Well, Tottenham might well be advancing under Mauricio Pochettino but they\u2019re still a way away from the level they achieved under Harry Redknapp. Liverpool? Liverpool are looking good again under Brendan Rodgers and, like Arsenal, their prospects are improving. OK, so that leaves Chelsea. And everybody would swap with Chelsea at the moment, but the point is that Arsenal\u2019s future looks bright again. It is easy, and valid, to point out the occasional failings of Per Mertesacker, but why not consider Arsenal\u2019s array of attacking talent instead? Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla, Danny Welbeck, Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott and, yes, Olivier Giroud are formidable forward- thinking players close to their prime.

That\u2019s why we need to look ourselves in the mirror and ask if we\u2019ve done enough. I can safely say that I don\u2019t feel as if I have. And I\u2019m willing to bet the majority - if not all the players - would say the same thing. Kris Boyd in action for Rangers in their 1-1 draw with Livingston on Saturday . \u2018We have a period now until the end of the season where everyone on the playing staff needs to get a grip. You can blame all different aspects - but it\u2019s only excuses. We haven\u2019t performed on the pitch and that\u2019s the bottom line.\u2019 After admitting recently that his second spell at Ibrox had been a failure on a personal level, with only three league goals to his name, Boyd has certainly not tried to shy away from the grim reality surrounding the club. And he believes that due to their current malaise, the fear factor has now well and truly gone for any team visiting Ibrox. He added: \u2018I\u2019ve been in the situation myself when you turn up at Ibrox or Parkhead and you\u2019re already beaten. They might have won 4-0 or 5-0 the week before and you look around you and think: \u201cOh no\u201d. \u2018But that\u2019s not", "summary": "Rangers are third in the Championship table, 24 points adrift of Hearts . They drew 1-1 at home to Livingston on Saturday, and face an uphill task to gain promotion back to the top flight via the play-offs .

Indonesia's Attorney-General HM Prasetyo has not signalled their 72-hours notice period has begun. 'About notification, it's a minimum three days before the execution,' he said. 'It could be 10 days.' His comments come after President Joko Widodo reportedly told an al-Jazeera reporter off camera that the executions would not be this week. Mr Joko on Thursday responded to a prisoner swap arrangement floated by Foreign Minister Julie Bishop in her last push to save Chan and Sukumaran from the firing squad. The president laughed when asked about a swap arrangement. 'No way,' he said. He was determined that Chan and Sukumaran be executed. 'Look at how many die, our young generation,' he said, referring to victims of drugs. 'We have to look at the future.' In contrast to their group cells at Kerobokan jail in Bali, the men now have a cell each but with little in it other than a toilet and tiny washing area. They reportedly are allowed an hour outside their cells in a secured exercise area and have been medically checked since their arrival. They have been talking through the prison cell walls with another death row inmate, Nigerian Raheem Agbaje Salami, who was also transferred to Nusakambangan on Wednesday, although without the massive display of force for the Australians. It is not known whether Chan and Sukumaran's families - who were due to arrive in the island's port town of Cilacap on Thursday - will be able to visit the men on Friday, when visits are usually banned.

Ms Haruna claims that after she made the allegation Sergeant Laurence Boyle convinced an elderly woman with dementia to make false claims of fraud against her. This led to Miss Haruna being hauled before a misconduct panel and dismissed, only to be reinstated after a successful internal appeal. Ricky Haruna joined the Met Police in 2002 and one of her jobs was escorting Kate Middleton before she married . The 39-year-old is now suing the Met Police for race discrimination and wrongful dismissal for the way it handled her case, with her previous claims of racism not forming part of her own misconduct hearing, the Central London Employment Tribunal was told. She claims that although the Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS) was aware of the race allegations she had made, these were not put before the police misconduct board.

+{"article": "Roy Hodgson is holding his cards close to his chest with England\u2019s squad due to be announced this week. England meet Lithuania at Wembley in Euro 2016 qualifying on March 27 before travelling to the Juventus Stadium in Turin for a friendly with Italy four days later. The last time England played was in mid-November, when they beat Scotland and Slovenia with Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Rickie Lambert and Saido Berhaino. Yet the contenders have arrived. Harry Kane, Daniel Sturridge, Charlie Austin and Danny Ings are among those that could be selected, and Hodgson is set to pick four from the eight available. So, stick or twist? Well, here are the numbers that may sway Hodgson\u2019s decision one way or another. England captain Wayne Rooney, pictured celebrating against Scotland, looks a certainty to be picked . Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur . Against Arsenal on February 7, Kane scored twice in front of watching England manager Hodgson to win the north London derby. It was deja vu on March 8, when the 21-year-old added two more against Queens Park Rangers yet again in front of the England manager. If that doesn\u2019t convince, perhaps these statistics will: . \u2022 Only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo (both 41) have scored more than Kane (26) in all competitions this season . \u2022 Only Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa (both 17) have more Premier League goals but Kane (16) did not start a game until November 9 . \u2022 Kane has scored 14 in his last 13 Premier League games and became the fourth player in history to score in six consecutive away games . \u2022 His goals have contributed a staggering 19 points in the Premier League this season . And we could go on. Kane is used to leading a 4-2-3-1 at Tottenham, and would have to adapt to a partnership in Hodgson\u2019s classic 4-4-2 midfield diamond formation. Even so, the question is not should Hodgson pick the highest scoring Englishman, but rather how could he not? VERDICT: SHOULD GO . Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane beats Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Robert Green last week . Kane celebrates one of his many goals this season as the striker gets noticed in the Premier League . Kane will hope to be involved in Roy Hodgson's England squad when it is announced this week . Charlie Austin, Queens Park Rangers . QPR vs Tottenham was billed as the battle of the two best kids on the playground yet, with teacher watching on, Kane overshadowed his potential England team-mate. But Austin, seemingly carrying the third-bottom team in the Premier League, remains the fourth top goalscorer (15), just one behind the man with better service at White Hart Lane. Shoot on sight, seems to be the strategy. Austin ranks first in total shots (61) and shooting accuracy (67 per cent) out of the eight potential England forwards, having played more minutes (2,169) than any of the others this season. Austin\u2019s goals have contributed 45 per cent of QPR\u2019s points this season, and manager Chris Ramsey reckons he and Kane", "summary": "England face Lithuania on March 27 and Italy in a friendly on March 31 .

That was Jonathan Pearce's spontaneous reaction on commentary when some Villa fans piled onto the playing area towards the end of their team's semi-final at home to West Brom.

Killing fields: An aerial view of a seal hunting camp shows over a thousand harp seal pelts covering the ground at the end of a day of hunting . Last month, Canada's Fisheries Minister Gail Shea set the seal hunt quota to 400,000 harp seals, 60,000 grey seals and 8,200 hooded seals - a total of more than 468,000 animals. The seals are mainly killed for their pelts, but hunters also sell their blubber, which is used to make \u2018seal oil\u2019 and sold as a health supplement, and the penises, which are a popular ingredient in aphrodisiacs in some Asian markets.

Although hunters and the Canadian government claims these methods are humane, animal rights advocates say an alarming number of the seals are skinned while alive and responsive to pain. The Humane Society of the United States claims that independent, international team of veterinarians observed the hunt and examined the corpses of skinned seals. They found evidence that up to 40 per cent of the dead seals had skull injuries that were not sufficient to have caused death.

The Prime Minister and Home Secretary Theresa May have become increasingly isolated in their determination to fix a new measure for bringing net migration under control. Mr Cameron is considering including two different targets in next month\u2019s manifesto \u2013 including a specific target to slash net migration from outside the EU, which, unlike EU migration, ministers can fully control. Tory rift: Splits have opened in the upper ranks of the Tories over David Cameron\u2019s plan to make a manifesto commitment to slash immigration - with the Prime Minister and Theresa May becoming increasingly isolated . He is also expected to re-state his commitment to sharply reducing overall net migration. But senior figures, including Chancellor George Osborne, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Communities Secretary Eric Pickles are understood to have voiced doubts about the idea. It follows the failure of Mr Cameron\u2019s 2010 pledge to reduce overall net migration to the \u2018tens of thousands\u2019. Last week, the figure hit 300,000 \u2013 fuelled in large part by net migration from outside the EU of 190,000. Left-wing Tories outside of the Cabinet, who are in favour of a more relaxed borders policy, have seized on the figures as their moment to strike. They believe that, in the wake of this shuddering failure, it is easier to make the case for scrapping the target altogether. Yesterday, ex-Cabinet minister Kenneth Clarke said: \u2018We will have to drop the target. It would not be possible to achieve it without damaging our economy quite severely. I\u2019m afraid that the net migration target has proved to be a mistake.\u2019 George Osborne is said to be among thoseto to have voiced doubts about the Prime Minister's idea . Baroness Warsi, a former Foreign Office minister, added: \u2018If you set yourself unrealistic targets, you are setting yourself up to fail and, in the long term, turn the whole thing into a bigger issue by fuelling the perception that the Government can\u2019t get a grip.\u2019 But Mrs May is understood to believe that giving up on the target would be a huge error, not least because immigration still ranks in the top two concerns of voters. She recently resigned from the advisory board of a prominent Conservative think tank, called Bright Blue, which has publicly criticised the idea of a migration target. In a report, the right-of-centre organisation declared: \u2018Putting an unreliable cap on net migration centre-stage has meant that other measures of competency have been missed and unnoticed.\u2019 Its findings were given positive coverage in both the left-wing Guardian and Independent newspapers.

Now the 68-year-old innkeeper is ready to retire and plans to hand off the keys to the Center Lovell Inn and Restaurant to a new owner with a new contest. Ms Sage announced the contest late last year, and expects to receive 7,500 entries from prospective new owners by the May 7 deadline. On Monday, the Daily Mail Online spoke with Ms Sage about her decision to finally step away from the inn she's toiled at and invested $500,000 into for renovations. All this could be yours: The owner of the Center Lovell Inn and Restaurant in Maine is holding a contest, with the winner getting to take over ownership of the historic inn built in 1805 . 'I've been in the business 38 years so it's time to retire,' Ms Sage said, adding that she's looking forward to doing nothing in her retirement after years of 17-hour workdays. Ms Sage says she can't reveal the essay that won her the inn in 1993, but she believes her 16 years running a restaurant in Maryland helped. 'One of the judges told me they chose me because they saw that I could carry on the inn and make it a viable business,' Ms Sage said. While Ms Sage has the right to sell the business, as the outright owner, she has decided to give it away with a new essay contest out of goodwill. 'I just want to pass it on to somebody else who is looking for an inn, who possibly can't own it on their own outright and I think this is a good way to pay it forward,' she said. Ms Sage hopes to read all of the applications by May 17, and says she'll be impressed by grammatically correct entries that show a passion for work. Current owner: Janice Sage (pictured above) has owned the Center Lovell Inn since 1993, when she won a similar contest . Deadline approaching: Prospective owners can apply to take over the inn by submitting a 200-word essay and $125 by the deadline of May 7 . The prompt for the essay is simple: 'Why I would like to own and operate a country inn.' Prospective new owners must answer the question in a pithy 200 words, and pay $125 to enter the contest.

A Cambridge-educated married businessman has been jailed for breaking his Russian mistress' wrist when he kicked her out of bed after she refused to have sex with him. John Crawford Florey, 48, had been having an affair with 40-year-old Russian intern Olga Grigorash for almost a year when she spurned his advances at his rented flat in Notting Hill, west London. Following a dinner out together, the pair returned to the apartment and the former public schoolboy stripped down to his boxer shorts, Iselworth Crown Court heard. However, Ms Grigorash refused to undress and instead laid down on top of the bed fully-clothed. It sent Florey, an 'Old Harrovian' who is originally from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, into a fit of rage. The public schoolboy-turned-entrepreneur kicked her in the back with such force she fell against the wall and fractured her wrist. Florey told police Miss Grigorash, 40, had \u2018stumbled\u2019 as they rowed at a London flat he had rented for their tryst. He later claimed he had over-reacted at being told he was \u2018not rich enough\u2019. He has now been jailed for 18 months for grievous bodily harm and handed a restraining order which bans him from having contact with Miss Grigorash. A judge told the company director he had shown \u2018no remorse or concern\u2019 by refusing to help his lover, who was forced to make her own way to hospital for treatment. Jailing him on Friday, Isleworth Crown Court Recorder Philip Shepherd QC said: 'You were trying to force yourself sexually on her and she was unwilling to have sex with you. 'You used considerable force to kick her out of bed when your advances were rejected and the injury is one she still suffers continuing effects. 'The evidence from her was that you went around the side of the bed and kicked her when she was on the floor and you made no attempt to assist her when she was obviously injured and she had to make her way to hospital alone. 'You showed no remorse or concern and did nothing at all and you put her through the trauma of a trial.'

The harrowing revelation that a Shropshire woman died in the attack in what is regarded as a moderate Islamic nation has raised the possibility that the influence of these hate-filled terrorists has spread to other African and Mediterranean countries popular with UK holidaymakers. With the Easter holidays near, many British people must now question whether once apparently safe destinations have been infected by the barbaric Islamic State ideology. Gun guard: Egypt (security forces pictured) has high security at its prime tourist resorts and at the Pyramids . A spokeswoman for travel watchdog ABTA said that while British tourists tend to be quite resilient and have a \u2018level-headed\u2019 view of terrorist threats, holidaymakers should consult the Foreign Office before travelling. But how safe are traditional destinations for British travellers? TUNISIA . The shootings in Tunisia, which has a fledgling democracy, could severely damage the country\u2019s tourism trade.

After Wednesday\u2019s attack, the Foreign Office issued advice not to go to the area surrounding the museum \u2018until further notice\u2019. While 6,500 UK tourists in Tunisia are mainly in the coastal resorts (where security is higher), holiday operators such as Thomson and First Choice have stopped day excursions to the capital.

More than two-and-half million Brits fly to Turkey each year. While most visit Mediterranean resorts, many head for Istanbul, its cultural and historical heart. In recent months it has emerged that British youngsters infatuated with Islamic State have flown there and travelled south to slip into war-torn Syria. While most popular resorts are hundreds of miles from the Syrian border, there are still active terrorist groups in the whole country, some inspired by IS. The Foreign Office classifies the threat of terrorism as \u2018high\u2019 across all of Turkey (the same as in France following the Charlie Hebdo shootings), advising against all travel to borders with Syria.

The 71-year-old, who weighed 30 stone, had to have a bespoke coffin made after he died last month and will be buried in a double plot of land near to his home. Christopher Greener, formerly Britain's tallest man, will be buried in a bespoke coffin measuring almost 8ft that will need to be carried by 10 pallbearers . Funeral directors have calculated that Mr Greener's coffin will need at least 10 pallbearers to carry it because of the size and weight of the casket.

'They are normally about 6ft 2ins but this is just under 8ft - it's quite a difference. 'But the real struggle is making sure it's tough enough as he was quite a heavy chap too. 'We measured everything before we ordered the coffin and it just about fits into the hearse by about 2ins.' Because of its size Mr Greener's coffin also has extra handles fitted so it can be carried by the extra pallbearers. Mr Greener was diagnosed at 27 with a condition known as pituitary gigantism where a tumour had grown on his pituitary gland, an organ that controls bodily functions including release of growth hormones. Funeral directors said more pallbearers will be needed to carry the coffin because of its length and weight .

The cartoon, developed by Belgian artist Herg\u00e9, provided the inspiration for this one of a kind Airbus A320. Together, Brussels Airlines and Moulinsart had been working on this secret project for several months. Wife of Herg\u00e9, Fanny Rodwell, was on hand for the unveiling of a plane based on her husband's cartoon, Tintin . Two Belgian companies, Brussels Airlines and Moulinsart, came together for the bespoke aircraft design . Based on Professor Calculus' shark submarine from the adventure series, the long black shark aircraft was bapitised 'Rackham.' On the side of the fuselage, it reads: 'We fly you to the home of Tintin.' Tintin, who travels the world on his adventurous quests, is a natural travel partner for Brussels Airlines, who has also partnered with many other Belgian talents, such as the national football team and the country's largest music festival. The final design was based on Professor Calculus' shark submarine from the adventure series . The long black shark aircraft, baptised the 'Rackham,' has a side that reads: 'We fly you to the home of Tintin' The Airbus A320 took several months to create and was done entirely in secret . For the painting of the aircraft, Brussels Airlines hired plane paint artist Andre Eisele, who had to adapt the perspective of the drawings to the unusual curves of a plane. Eisele was also tasked with getting the aircraft looking as close to the original shark submarine design as possible. The entire paint job took 1500 hours in total. 'This aircraft is a dream come true,' Nick Rodwell, Director of Moulinsart, said. 'The partnership with Brussels Airlines is a perfect marriage for us.' The total paint job took 1500 hours in total to complete, under the hand of artist Andre Eisele . One of Eisele's biggest challenges was adapting the perspective to the unusual curves of a plane . The creators call Tintin and Brussels Airlines a 'perfect marriage' as both are passionate about adventure . 'Tintin is all about Belgium, all about Brussels, where he was born, as was Herg\u00e9. Tintin is also all about adventure and travelling, and with this plane we bring our two worlds together perfectly.' Following its unveiling, Rackham's maiden voyage took place: an hour and 45 minute flight to Toulouse.

The controversial BBC Trust chairman approved a decision to keep secret details from a cache of potentially damaging letters between leading figures at the Corporation and the team carrying out a review of Savile\u2019s activities. Her decision last night deepened concerns about the Savile review being carried out by judge Dame Janet Smith, which has cost at least \u00a35 million and taken more than two years so far. BBC Trust chairman, Rona Fairhead, pictured, personally approved a decision to keep Jimmy Savile letters secret, preventing their release to a team conducting a review into the prolific paedophile's activities . The elements of correspondence Mrs Fairhead has kept hidden were thought to shed light on whether Corporation executives were trying to delay publication of the Savile report for fear that it would further damage the BBC\u2019s reputation. The BBC insists no such pressure was applied to delay the report. Last night critics said the censorship row showed Mrs Fairhead was not properly representing the licence fee-payer, as her \u00a3110,000 part-time role as chairman of the BBC Trust requires. The businesswoman, 53, has already come under fire from MPs over her \u00a310,000-a-day second job at HSBC. Allegations of her possible role in covering up evidence involving Savile \u2013 the biggest scandal in BBC history \u2013 will put further pressure on her to quit. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, who has written to the BBC about the sexual abuse review, said: \u2018The delay and the non-publication of the correspondence is not good for the licence fee-payer but it is probably good for the BBC in the run-up to its Charter review. It\u2019s all very convenient. \u2018I think that Rona Fairhead is compromised. As far as protecting licence fee-payers, she has gone native.

Selling on eBay: Historical artefacts believed to have been looted by ISIS, such as this coin of Apamea dating back to the time of Ancient Greece, are beginning to appear on eBay . This comes after entire Roman mosaics were ripped up by a bulldozer from the ancient site. The trade in antiquities is a profitable business for the terror group and is thought to be worth tens of millions of pounds, The Times reports.

His previous existence had been blinkered, revolving around the mainstays of family, football and faith. His family was shattered by the death of son Anthony following a two year battle with acute myeloid leukaemia. Somehow, the football and faith - subjected to anguished, grief stricken examinations in the months which followed - survived. \u201cI have always believed in God\" reflects Fitzpatrick, sipping fizzy water in a coffee shop in Glasgow's west end. \u201cBut what happened to little Tony made me angry.

Even to this day I still ask myself the question.\u201d He sought refuge and answers in writing. Scribbled notes on his experiences and emotions became a habit.

But the colours were so vibrant, it was stunning. To me it was a sign. A sign of.... something.\" A committed, church goer he interpreted the rainbow as a token of hope. Some kind of message from above. Yet in the months which followed he examined his faith and found it wanting.

+{"article": "Smartphones really are addictive and the more you use one, the worse it gets, a new study has revealed. Moodiness, loneliness and jealousy are all key indicators of smartphone addiction, along with an obsession with physical appearance, the University of Derby study found. Psychology lecturer, Dr Zaheer Hussain, who co-authored the study, found that the more you use a smartphone, the higher your risk of becoming addicted. A Study by University of Derby says 13 per cent of us are addicted, and the average user spends 3.6 hours a day on their smartphone (stock image shown). Moodiness, loneliness and jealousy are all key indicators of addiction. An obsession with physical appearance is also a telling sign . He explained that higher scores of narcissism - defined as excessive interest or admiration of oneself and one\u2019s physical appearance - is the most common and obvious sign of the addiction. An obsession with taking selfies and posting them on social media is one key indication. \u2018A significant positive relationship was found between narcissism and addiction to the phones, suggesting that the more narcissistic a person is, the more likely they are to be addicted to their smartphone,\u2019 he said. In a move that might seem counter-intuitive, a Berlin-based psychologist has developed an app to help wean us off our gadgets. Called Offtime, it limits which apps can be used to avoid distractions, or prevents people from contacting you unless in an emergency. It doesn\u2019t limit connectivity permanently; instead, users can enable Offtime mode for any time when they need to focus, or at set times during the day. And there are various levels of customisation. For example, all calls, texts and notifications can be blocked during Offtime. Alternatively, users can pre-select so-called VIP contacts that are never blocked, and can get hold of the phone owner even when Offtime is enabled. The study found that 13 per cent of 256 participants were addicts. The average age of those who took part in the online survey was 29. As a result, the researchers say they believe it should be made compulsory that anyone selling smartphones should warn customers of their potentially addictive properties. Dr Hussain said: \u2018The study informs us about smartphone overuse and the impact on psychological well-being. 'We now use smartphones on a daily basis and for various tasks so being aware of the psychological effects is very important. \u2018There are various smartphone apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Candy Crush, as well as Skype and email that make smartphone use psychologically more attractive and can lead to addiction.\u2019 The study also revealed the average user spent 3.6 hours per day on the device, and when the participants were asked if they used their phone in banned areas, 35 per cent answered yes. Social networking sites were the most popularly used apps - 87 per cent - followed by instant messaging apps - 52 per cent - and then news apps - 51 per cent.

Karie Murphy, a close friend of Unite leader Len McCluskey, was suspended by Labour in 2013 and reported to police after allegations that the union had tried to manipulate the selection process in Falkirk in her favour.

Her possible inclusion on an all-women shortlist, to be announced on Tuesday, risks re-opening the wounds of the bitter Falkirk row just weeks before the election and is proving a headache for Ed Miliband. The Labour leader has been warned that his party risks losing the seat if Miss Murphy is selected, but the union could stop bankrolling the party\u2019s election campaign if she is not chosen. Unite has already mounted a strong campaign to ensure Miss Murphy is the candidate. Mrs Riordan, also a Unite member, has taken her on a tour of the seat to introduce her to local members.

Louis van Gaal has benefitted from using the 6ft 4in Belgium midfielder in a more advanced role as a target man behind the main striker, and it proved effective once again when United won 2-1 at Liverpool on Sunday to go five points clear of their great rivals in the race for a Champions League place.

But Fellaini said: 'It is nonsense that our game system is based on me. Our system is based on many good players. 'We play a beautiful football. We play forward, scoring, putting on pressure. There are great players around.' Fellaini came under fire for his performances as a defensive midfielder under David Moyes last season after following his old Everton boss to United in a \u00a327.5million deal, but can also play as a box-to-box midfielder. The 27-year-old admits it would be easier to pin down one position but is just grateful to be playing after a difficult start to life at Old Trafford. 'Fellaini is at his best when he plays,' he added. 'It does not matter where. This season we have played many different tactics: 3-5-2, 5-3-2, 4-2-2-2, 4-3-3. Of course, it would be easier to play in one position, but you have to always adjust to the coach. I play, that's the main thing. 'I can play in different positions. Number six, number eight or as a second striker. At eight, I can go back and forth and arrive in the box. Second striker I played at Everton. At United it's different because I play in a triangle in midfield. It's simple: I adjust myself to the system of the coach.'

And residents of Gravesend, next to the mouth of the famous waterway, feared they had stumbled upon another gruesome find this morning when this apparent skeleton turned up on the muddy banks. With two bone-like sticks appearing to be bent at the knees lying below seeming ribs and a skull, morning walkers thought they had come across the watery grave of a long-lost soul. This gruesome-looking object was found apparently washed up on the banks of the Thames this morning . But as they approached the object, which was lying beneath the town's pier, witnesses realised the supposed skeleton was just an optical illusion. Photographer Rob Powell, who was at the pier taking pictures of a ship for website OnTheThames.net, said: 'I had to double take at first as it's not the kind of thing you usually see by the riverside. 'Obviously, it looked like a skeleton, which was a bit grim, and it was only when I got closer that I realised it was metal and old rope.' The objects became the talk of the town after Mr Powell posted a photo on Twitter. Gravesend town centre manager Graham Long tweeted: 'We've not seen anything like that before - how bizarre and intruiging.' And the town's RNLI spokesman Alan Carr said the find looked 'very sinister'. The object, spotted beneath a pier, turned out to be rope and metal poles which look like a skeleton . As well as a reported 50 corpses a year, the Thames has given up a series of mysterious objects over the river's long history. In 1857, the 4th century BC 'Battersea Shield' was discovered during dredging for the Chelsea Bridge, and is now seen as one the UK's most significant pieces of Celtic ancient art. Prehistoric animal remains have also been discovered on the riverbed and banks, including the tooth of a 28-metre-long Megalodon shark thought to be 1.5 million years old, and a section from the skull of a 30,000-year-old woolly rhino. In 2013, river-users thought they has spotted an alligator living in the river - but it turned out to be a lost prop from the film set of James Bond film Live and Let Die, which had been washed away from its owner's garden.

Researchers believe the complex of plazas, mounds, a pyramid and dozens of artefacts belong to a civilization which was blooming thousands of years ago and then vanished without a trace. It prompts the tantalizing possibility that they have found the lost civilization known as the White City, which as been the subject of local rumors among tribes people and Spanish explorers around the la Mosquita area of jungle in Honduras for hundreds of years. Some people call it the White City Of Gold, after ancient texts described ivory temples filled with treasure - and western explorers first made reference to it from conquistador Hernando Cortes to King Charles V of Spain in 1526. Since then countless adventurers have scoured the jungle for the ancient civilization, rumored to have enjoyed treasures beyond the wildest dreams of many budding Indiana Jones'. One such adventurer even suggested that the city was in fact known as the White City of the Monkey God, and saw an ancient civilization worship a giant simian deity, symbolized by a large statue. Theodore Morde, writing of his adventures in US magazine The American Weekly, said that local tribes people told him of the monkey worshiping civilization and went on with even more outlandish suggestions that a monkey from the city. Locals even told him that one 'monkey god' from the city kidnapped a local woman and bred half-human, half-chimp children. The children were then hunted for revenge. Local tribes people also reportedly related the same story to an anthropologist, according to a Honduran media report. Morde said that local people told him of a huge monkey temple inhabited by a civilization known as the Chorotegas, and claimed to have fond evidence of such a place on his expedition in 1939-40.

High streets were given a helping hand yesterday as George Osborne announced a \u2018wide-ranging review\u2019 into crippling business rates. Introduced in Elizabethan times, the tax is accused of pushing independent shops out of business by charging punishingly high rates. High street retailers claim it places them at a disadvantage to online rivals because it is only charged on \u2018bricks and mortar\u2019. Business rates are forecast to raise \u00a322.4billion in England in 2014-15, from 1.8million non-domestic properties.

But this is based on prices from 2008, the height of the property boom, which do not take into account the effect of the recession. The system also means some small shops on busy high streets pay very high rates, while online giants such as Amazon, with large warehouses in cheaper locations, pay less. Tax expert Richard Rose, of BDO accountants, said the review launch was \u2018welcome but long overdue\u2019, adding that \u2018any benefits of change are unlikely to filter through until well into the next Parliament\u2019. \u2018It will, therefore, be a watching brief for some time yet, which will offer little respite for mid-market retailers who continue to feel the pain of rates set in 2008.\u2019 Scroll down for video .

The review began on Monday and retailers and organisations will be invited to give their opinions. But shops hoping for a large tax cut could be disappointed, as ministers have already warned any changes are likely to be \u2018fiscally neutral\u2019, meaning the Treasury would still generate the same amount of tax.

Doctors have described the recoveries as \u2018miraculous\u2019, while patients say they have been given their lives back. The treatment uses a patient\u2019s own stem cells \u2013 the body\u2019s master cells \u2013 to fight the disease. Recovery: MS sufferer Holly Drewery became wheelchair-bound after the birth of daughter Isla, but thanks to the stem cell transplant she can dance, run and chase after Isla in the park . If it fulfils its early promise, it could be the first therapy that does not just slow the damage done by the condition, but reverses it. Professor Basil Sharrack, of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, said: \u2018Since we started treating patients some three years ago some of the results have been miraculous. Today, Holly Drewery can run after her daughter Isla. Two years ago she could take her for a walk only if someone pushed her wheelchair while she held on to Isla\u2019s pushchair. Miss Drewery, 25, of Sheffield, pictured with Isla, was diagnosed with MS after suffering numbness and blurred vision. She became wheelchair-bound after her health worsened on Isla\u2019s birth. She needed help with basic tasks and couldn\u2019t even wiggle her toes. Three weeks after the stem cell transplant she was able to walk out of hospital. Now, more than 18 months on, she is almost back to normal. She has a part-time office job and, although she still gets tired, can dance, run and chase after Isla, two, in the park. She said: \u2018All I wanted to be able to do is take Isla out. It worked wonders. I am more or less back to normal.\u2019 Sam Ramsey collapsed when out celebrating her 22nd birthday and six weeks later was paralysed from the neck down by MS. Other treatments failed but now, after the stem cell treatment, Miss Ramsey, 25, of Newark in Nottinghamshire, can walk on crutches, has passed her driving test and ordered a car. She told the Sunday Times: \u2018This treatment has given me my life back.\u2019 'This is not a word I would use lightly but we have seen profound neurological improvements.\u2019 However, more research is needed to prove the patients are not just experiencing a temporary remission, which does happen in MS. The neurological condition, which is more common in women than men, usually strikes those in their 20s and 30s and affects 2.5million people worldwide, including 100,000 Britons. It can cause blindness and paralysis, but current drugs are not suitable for all and there is no cure. The disease occurs when \u2018friendly fire\u2019 from the body\u2019s immune system destroys myelin, the fatty protective sheath around nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord, disrupting the transmission of vital signals. The Sheffield treatment uses the stem cells to \u2018reboot\u2019 the immune system so that it stops attacking the body and brain. First, a sample of the patient\u2019s blood is taken and stem cells are removed from it and stored.

Carroll, professor of paediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine, said while he would prefer youngsters to use neither, if forced to make a choice, he would opt for pot. Writing for The New York Times, he said that as his children grow up, he is frequently asked - given his profession - which of the two substances he would prefer them to use. He said: 'The immediate answer, of course, is \u201cneither\". And after sifting through all the studies and all the data, I still say \u201cneither\". Usually, I say it more than once. 'But if I\u2019m forced to make a choice, the answer is \u201cmarijuana\".' Aaron E. Carroll, professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine, said while he would prefer youngsters used neither alcohol or marijuana, if forced to make a choice, he would opt for pot . His decision is based on research into a number of factors - essentially the harm caused by both drugs. But in the course of his debate, he explains that while marijuana is easy to demonise because it's illegal, the evidence shows that in terms of harm and death, alcohol causes significantly more damage. He goes on to argue that while research has linked marijuana to changes in the brain and psychosis, as well as changes in lung function and cancer risk, 'these are all associations, not known causal pathways'. Instead, he explains, there may be other factors that explain these links - perhaps people with mental health problems are more likely to use the drug, he suggests. However he warns what many of us - especially parents - do is overlook the huge dangers of alcohol. He cites statistics from the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, which state that alcohol use is a factor in 40 per cent of all violent crimes in the United States, including 37 per cent of rapes and 27 per cent of aggravated assaults. What many of us - especially parents - do is overlook the huge dangers of alcohol, he warns . No such association has been found among marijuana users. 'People who are high are not committing violence,' he explains. He goes on to add that nearly 20 per cent of male delinquents and 10 per cent of female delinquents have an alcohol problem. Meanwhile binge drinking was responsible for around half of the 80,000 alcohol-related deaths in the United States in 2010, whereas cannabis kills virtually no one. He also factors in statistics for drink driving and domestic violence - and once again, alcohol fares worse. As it does in terms of long-term dependency. Professor Carroll states that while nine per cent of pot users eventually become dependent, more than 20 per cent of alcohol users do.

The terrifying arsenal is contained at the Pueblo Chemical Depot in southern Colorado. The first batch of the mustard agent was destroyed after scientists used explosives to open up a sealed container and flooded it with a second chemical to neutralise the liquid. Scroll down for video . Technicians will take four years to eliminate almost 800,000 artillery shells containing mustard agent . The chemical agent, commonly known as mustard gas, is actually a liquid which smells like the condiment . It is estimated that there are 2,600 tonnes of the chemical agent contained within 780,000 shells at the facility. Bruce Huenefeld, who is managing the destruction process said: 'Everybody's really excited, but we're being cautious, making sure all the procedures are followed exactly.' Mustard agent can maim or kill by damaging skin, the eyes and airways. It's being destroyed under a 1997 international treaty banning all chemical weapons. It will take four years to destroy the Pueblo stockpile. Another 523 tons of mustard and deadly nerve agents are stored at Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky. Blue Grass isn't expected to start destroying its weapons until 2016 or 2017, finishing in 2023. The destruction process is safe, officials said. Most of Pueblo's stockpile will be dismantled and neutralised in a highly automated $4.5 billion plant built at the depot. The Pueblo Chemical Depot in southern Colorado has a method of destroying damaged chemical shells . The United States said it never used mustard agent in any conflict and agreed to destroy their stockpile . About 1,400 damaged shells and a dozen metal bottles of mustard agent are considered unsuitable for that plant. They'll be opened with explosives and neutralised in the sealed chamber, which sits inside an airtight structure near the larger automated plant. The metal bottles contain mustard that was extracted from the shells for testing. A single bottle was the first container to be opened and neutralised Wednesday. Crews were waiting for the neutralisation to finish before draining the chamber, rinsing it and then removing the remains of the bottle. Once all the bottles are destroyed, crews will start work on the damaged shells, depot spokesman Thomas Schultz said. The automated plant isn't expected to begin work until December or January. Design and construction have taken years, and final testing and training are underway. Mustard agent is a thick liquid, not a gas as commonly believed. It has no color and almost no odor, but it got its name because impurities made early versions smell like mustard. The U.S. acquired 30,600 tons of mustard and nerve agents, but it never used them in war. Nearly 90 per cent of its original stockpile has already been destroyed, mostly by incineration. The depots in Colorado and Kentucky are using chemical neutralisation because residents and officials expressed concerns about the vapor from incineration.", "summary": "The United States agreed to destroy its mustard chemical agent in 1997 .

The great religious fissure between Sunni and Shia Muslims that dominates the Middle East has erupted into open conflict in Yemen, the region\u2019s poorest country, threatening to engulf the entire area in a wider war. In a dramatic escalation of the stakes, a Sunni coalition of Arab states led by Saudi Arabia launched airstrikes against Iran-backed Shia Houthi rebels who have swept south through the country. As Yemen veered towards political disintegration, the conflict exploded into a region-wide crisis that could have far-reaching and unpredictable international consequences. Scroll down for video .

Brent crude oil prices increased by 6 per cent, for example, since many of the world\u2019s oil shipments pass through or past the Bab el-Mandab Strait linking the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden. But the far more pressing concern is whether we are now seeing a proxy war in Yemen between its neighbour Saudi Arabia, the leading Sunni power, and Iran, the leading Shia power, explode into a regional conflict that could sweep us all up in its wake. Saudi warplanes targeted Houthi positions in the country\u2019s capital Sana\u2019a killing 18 civilians and injuring many more. Britain and America supported the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen as the coalition deployed 100 fighter jets and amassed 150,000 soldiers to fight in the region.

Anticipating the worsening situation, British elite soldiers \u2014 in Yemen to train government troops to fight Al Qaeda, which has established its most dangerous branch in the country \u2014 pulled out last Friday.

The most senior police officer on duty during the Hillsborough disaster today apologised and admitted he was 'not the best man' for the task, adding that he was 'learning on the job'. Former chief superintendent David Duckenfield, the match commander, had little experience of policing football matches and had never been in charge during a game before. Giving evidence at the inquest into the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans today, he said it was a 'serious mistake' not to consult with his predecessor about the challenges the match would pose, and apologised for 'failings' in the policing of the game. The supporters were crushed to death shortly after the start of the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough ground on April 15, 1989. Mr Duckenfield, now 70, was a chief superintendent who was promoted to be head of the local police division two weeks before the game. He gave the order to open the gates to the ground in the minutes before the crush, allowing 2,000 fans to flood into the ground, and later wrongly claimed that a gate had been forced open. Speaking at the inquest in Warrington, Cheshire today, Mr Duckenfield was asked whether he had any concerns about his ability to do the job properly given his lack of experience. The former officer replied: 'All I would say is this, that after a period, I would say, I'm older, hopefully wiser - probably I was not the best man for the job on the day.' Mr Duckenfield said he had no recent previous experience of policing at Hillsborough before the match and his knowledge of the stadium was 'very general.' Asked later how familiar he was with the ground, Mr Duckenfield said: 'With hindsight I can almost say, knowing the events of the day, I should've spent the majority of my time as the new commander down there. 'I did in the light of the information available what I considered necessary, and, if there was a failing, well, I apologise.' The officer agreed that while he had experience of public order policing, that was 'totally different' to policing football matches. He added: 'At the time I should have thought about my limited knowledge of the role of a commander at a major event that was a sell-out when I had not been in that responsible position previously.' Mr Duckenfield said that after first joining South Yorkshire Police as a cadet in 1960, he had been 'delighted' to be promoted to the post of chief superintendent of F Division of South Yorkshire Police - including Hillsborough - around March 1989.

London Fire Brigade said guests\u2019 lives were put in jeopardy due to the shoddy conditions which were discovered inside The Radnor Hotel during an inspection in 2011. It brought charges against then-owner Salim Patel, who was fined \u00a3200,000 this week after a successful prosecution. London Fire Brigade said fire doors were missing (right) or tied open with electrical cords or string (left) In addition to the six-figure fine, Mr Patel was ordered to pay nearly \u00a330,000 in court costs after pleading guilty to seven offences under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. He was also handed a four-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, the London Fire Brigade said. Fire safety officers were stunned when they toured the six-floor, 18-room hotel, on Inverness Terrace, to carry out a routine inspection. They discovered numerous fire safety breaches, including inadequate fire detection systems, blocked emergency exits and inadequate emergency lighting. Fire doors were missing or tied open with extension cords or string, there was evidence the basement store room was used for sleeping, and the owner had not conducted a fire risk assessment. A spokesman for the London Fire Brigade said the hotel, on Inverness Terrace, is under new ownership . Mr Patel was given an enforcement notice, which required him to address the safety concerns to make the hotel safer for guests, but follow-up visits found that no action had been taken, the London Fire Brigade said. The hotel continued to operate without a working fire detection system, so court proceedings were launched against the hotelier. When Mr Patel was sentenced Judge Kennedy said the public expected \u2018absolute attention\u2019 to fire safety when occupying sleeping accommodation. The judge told court that Mr Patel did not provide that protection and, as a business owner, he was where the \u2018buck stopped\u2019, the London Fire Brigade said in a statement. Hotel owner Salim Patel received a record \u00a3200,000 fine this week after a successful prosecution . Neil Orbell, head of fire safety regulation, said he hopes the penalty serves as a deterrent for other hoteliers. He said: \u2018Our fire safety officers carry out around 16,000 inspections every year to help ensure the capital's buildings are safe from fire. \u2018This is the biggest fine we have ever secured against an individual for breaking fire safety laws and it should send a message to all business owners that if they are shirking their fire safety responsibilities and putting the public at risk we won\u2019t hesitate to prosecute. \u2018The size of the fine should also serve as a stark reminder that the court\u2019s take fire safety just as seriously as we do.\u2019 A spokesman for the London Fire Brigade said Mr Patel no longer runs the hotel and it is under new ownership. Guests complained about the conditions in a series of scathing reviews on TripAdvisor, where The Radnor Hotel had a rating of two stars before it closed. Of 92 reviews, 59 were filed", "summary": "Salim Patel received a fine this week after a successful prosecution . He was also handed a four-month sentence, suspended for 18 months .

Sheri Coleman, 31, together with her sons Garett, 11, and Gavin, 9, were found strangled in their beds in Columbia, Illinois, in 2009. Husband Christopher Coleman, a former chief of security for televangelist Joyce Meyer, was convicted of first-degree murder two years later and is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Mario DeCicco was named in Tuesday's lawsuit which alleges that 'at least $33,173' of the money donated to the Sheri Ann & Her Boys charity has been improperly spent . Sheri's brother Mario DeCicco was supposed to be managing a charity setup in their honor called Sheri Ann & Her Boys dedicated to combating domestic abuse. But on Tuesday he was named in a civil lawsuit which alleges that 'at least $33,173 of the charity's funds appeared to have been improperly withdrawn as cash and spent on expenses outside of the organization's mission.' Only $2,550 of the money appeared to have been spent on domestic violence prevention, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Allegations about the missing money first emerged last year and DeCicco told the Post-Dispatch at the time that he given $28,000 in cash to a woman's shelter in Chicago, although he refused to reveal its name. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who filed Tuesday's lawsuit, claims the money didn't go to the shelter. Her lawsuit alleges that DeCicco violated the state's Charitable Trust and Solicitation for Charity Acts and she is asking for a judge to order a full accounting of the money he withdrew as cash. Christopher Coleman was convicted of first-degree murder following the 2009 deaths of Sheri Coleman, 31, together with her sons Garett, 11, and Gavin, 9, . If foung guilty DeCicco would be liable for any assets improperly used and could face criminal prosecution. Madigan also wants him removed as the charity's president and for it to be dissolved. 'The circumstances in this case are extremely disheartening,' Madigan said. 'I am filing this action to ensure that the misappropriated charitable funds are recovered and dedicated to violence prevention efforts as originally intended.' In the wake of the shocking murders, friends and neighbors had raised the money via garage sales, lemonade stands and other community events. A Bikers Save Lives benefit ride had raised over $15,000 alone. Prosecutors said Coleman, 32, killed his family to start a new life with a lover in Florida while avoiding a divorce that might have exposed an extramarital affair and possibly cost him his job as a bodyguard for high-profile televangelist Joyce Meyer. Friends and neighbors of Sheri Coleman and her boys raised over $30,000 which was supposed to go towards helping victims of domestic abuse . Prosecutors argued at his 2011 trial that Coleman feared he would lose his $100,000-a-year job as part of the personal security detail for multi-millionaire Pentecostal preacher Meyer - who travels the world delivering evangelical lectures - if his affair were to become public.

The country's first and longest-serving prime minister, Lee guided Singapore through a traumatic split with Malaysia in 1965 and helped transform what was then a sleepy port city into a global trade and finance center. Although he could have remained in office for much longer, he stepped aside and handed over leadership of the ruling party, and the country, to a younger generation in 1990. 'In the end, my greatest satisfaction in life comes from the fact that I have spent years gathering support, mustering the will to make this place meritocratic, corruption-free and equal for all races - and that it will endure beyond me, as it has,' Lee said in his 2013 book, 'One Man's View of the World.' David Cameron said Mr Lee had transformed Singapore into one of the great success stories of the modern world. Mr Lee was hailed as having provided a number of British prime ministers with advice over the years and was once singled out by the late Margaret Thatcher as the prime minister she most admired. Mr Cameron said: 'That Singapore is today a prosperous, secure and successful country is a monument to his decades of remarkable public service. He was always a friend to Britain, if sometimes a critical one, and many British Prime Ministers benefited from his wise advice, including me. 'Lady Thatcher once said that there was no Prime Minister she admired more than Mr Lee for \"the strength of his convictions, the clarity of his views, the directness of his speech and his vision of the way ahead\".

The top-of-the-bill dust-up which for many is the highlight of the meeting and one which is quite simply too close to call.

If they were boxers, they would probably be nose-to-nose, eyes bulging, refusing to be the first to blink. But underneath would be a grudging respect borne not only out of mutual ability but also shared battles against adversity. They have met once before in the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton in December 2013. But it was a race memorable for the wrong reason as jockey Barry Geraghty pulled up Sprinter Sacre after the seventh fence with a fibrillating heart problem. It was an issue which kept him off the track until his second to Dodging Bullets at Ascot in January, a good performance off such a lengthy lay-off but one which only fuelled debate about whether the Sprinter Sacre of today is a shadow of the horse rated one of the best steeplechasers in his pomp. The delayed return had scuppered the pair\u2019s first anticipated clash in the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown in December. Sire de Grugy, ridden by Jamie Moore, galloped to the crown at last year's Festival . But by then Sire De Grugy, who mopped up Britain\u2019s four Grade One two-mile chases in Sprinter Sacre\u2019s absence, had also been sidelined. In his case it was a hip injury which initially had Moore fearing his season might be over.

The Federal Aviation Administration has taken steps to protect the air traffic control system from cyber-based threats, but 'significant security control weaknesses remain, threatening the agency's ability to ensure the safe and uninterrupted operation,' said the report by the Government Accountability Office. One area of weakness is the ability to prevent and detect unauthorized access to the vast network of computer and communications systems the FAA uses to process and track flights around the world, the report said. A government watchdog group's new report warned that the nation's system for guiding planes and other aircraft is at 'increased and unnecessary risk' of being hacked . The FAA relies on more than 100 of these air traffic systems to direct planes. There also are inadequate protections to prevent entry into air traffic computer systems from other, less-secure computer systems not directly involved in traffic operations, the report said. Other problems identified in the report include: . -Security weaknesses identified by the FAA weren't always addressed in a timely way. -Security control assessments by the agency weren't always comprehensive enough to find weaknesses. -Shortcomings in monitoring for hacking incidents or unauthorized entries mean the FAA may not be able to 'contain, eradicate or recover from incidents.' These weaknesses put the air traffic system 'at increased and unnecessary risk of unauthorized access, use or modification that could disrupt air traffic control operations,' the report said. The accountability office made 14 recommendations to the FAA and another three to the Transportation Department. Keith Washington, a Department of Transportation acting assistant security, said in a letter to the accountability office that the FAA is aware of the importance of the matter and has achieved several milestones in improving its cybersecurity. FAA officials had no comment. The agency is part of the Transportation Department. The FAA says it is aware of the concerns and taking serious steps to shore up security . Following the report's release, the chairman and senior Democratic member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation sent a letter to FAA Administer Michael Huerta asking for a \"full accounting on the status\" of the accountability office's recommendations. \"These vulnerabilities have the potential to compromise the safety and efficiency of the national airspace system, which the traveling public relies on each and every day,\" said Sens.

The study, presented at the American College of Cardiology in San Diego, California, adds to evidence of the damage caused by our sedentary lifestyles. Government research warned last year that inactivity was as deadly as smoking and responsible for a sixth of deaths in Britain. Scientists from the Medical College of Wisconsin in the US looked at levels of activity of 2,031 adults whose average age was 50. They compared the number of hours spent sitting down each day with levels of deposits in blood vessels that signal for heart disease. Sitting down all day puts you at more risk of having a heart attack or stroke, a study has found (file picture) The adults spent two to 12 hours a day sitting at the office and then in front of the TV. Researchers found that for every hour spent sitting, the levels of artery deposits increased by 14 per cent. Adults who went for regular runs, gym sessions or aerobics classes were no less at risk. Lead researcher Dr Jacquelyn Kulinski, an assistant professor of cardiovascular medicine, urged adults with office jobs to stand up or go for a walk every hour, adding: \u2018Reducing the amount of time you sit by even an hour or two a day could have a significant and positive impact on your future cardiovascular health.\u2019 Despite the research suggesting the benefits of exercise could be quickly undone, she said it was important to aim for at least 30 minutes a day. \u2018It\u2019s clear that exercise is important to reduce your cardiovascular risk and improve your fitness level.\u2019 \u2018The lesson here is that it\u2019s really important to try to move as much as possible in your daily life, for example, take a walk during lunch, pace while talking on the phone, take the stairs instead of the elevator and use a pedometer to track your daily steps. \u2018And if you do have a very sedentary job, don\u2019t go home at night and sit in front of the TV for hours on end.\u2019 The news comes as it was revealed that antidepressants could protect against heart attacks and strokes.

One director also says his team has been advised against sending emails to each other during out of office hours, including weekends. Some Australian companies are banning emails as directors believe internal emails cause stress and misunderstandings among staff . Nathan Schokker, the director of facilities management service provider Talio, says he implemented this new rule six months ago and has already seen a positive difference in the workplace. The policy was introduced to his 30 staff members in Brisbane after particular instances which caused unnecessary pressure, conflict and disagreements. 'We had a few cases where staff were feeling compelled to respond to emails that were sent on weekends or public holidays,' Mr Schokker told Daily Mail Australia. 'Staff were feeling like their personal time was being stolen from them. 'I also found that it is hard to imply the correct tone in an email so there were often instances where staff were offended by emails sent by other colleagues or felt like they were being unfairly treated. 'It was enough to cause angst among employees which further became a distraction in the workplace.' Face-to-face interaction or instant messaging has become the preferred means of communication among these employees in order to de-clutter their inbox and create better working relationships . For the CEO of website optimisation company Quasion, he's introduced instant messaging among staff and has left email correspondence for clients only. 'It's about finding the right way to communicate in a simple manner within the workplace,' Matt Braithwaite-Young told Daily Mail Australia. 'I'm not anti-email. I believe clients love emails but they have to be relevant. 'However emailing often isn't suitable for internal communication and these kind of emails can clutter our inbox. 'I found that instant messaging was much suitable for the business and also a very casual form of communication.' Mr Braithwaite-Young also introduced this new strategy about eight months ago to his five Sydney staff and 15 others who are based overseas. 'The problem with email is that it is an e-version of a letter so it's unnecessary for internal communication,' he said. 'Also if your inbox is getting too cluttered that's also bad for the business because it'll pile up over important emails from clients and they can often get lost this way.' Mr Braithwaite-Young says emails or even phone calls can be intrusive to staff who are not in the office at the time. 'With instant messaging, people can respond when it's suitable for them when they're back in the office,' he said.

Nick Gibb backed parents who have called for their children to delay entering classroom, telling councils and headteachers to do 'what's in the best interests of the child'. It follows warnings from campaigners that some local authorities made it difficult for families who want to put off joining reception classes, raising the prospect of 250,000 children having to start in Year 1. Education minister Nick Gibb backed parents who have called for their children to delay entering classroom, telling councils and headteachers to do 'what's in the best interests of the child' The Department for Education issued guidance to schools and councils in July 2013 and last December making it clear that there is no rule stating that a child has to be in the right school cohort for their age group. Summer-born children can wait until the September after their fifth birthday if their parents feel they need more time to develop. And it suggests delaying the start of school by 12 months should be 'no barrier' to the child then starting in reception class. The rule was introduced after research showed they were more likely to struggle at school, do worse in exams and have less chance of getting into university. But some councils are still sending youngsters straight into Year 1 if their parents hold them back unless they can prove there were 'exceptional' circumstances. In one high profile case, mother Rosie Dutton is fighting for her daughter to be allowed into reception class at school a year later after she decided to delay her education because she only turned four a few weeks before school started. Battle: Rosie Dutton, 30, is demanding her daughter Olivia is allowed into reception class after she chose to exercise her right to hold her back a year because she would have started just after turning four . Department for Education guidance allows parents to delay their child's schooling until the September after their fifth birthday. This policy, updated last spring, is designed to help children with birthdays between April 1 and August 31. This is because because experts believe they are more likely to struggle academically if they start school after just turning four. The Department for Education guidance says: \u2018An increasing number of cases have come to the attention of the department and ministers in which parents, local authorities and admissions authorities have struggled to agree on the year group in which it is most appropriate for a summer-born child to start school. 'There are no statutory barriers to admitting a child of five to a reception class'. But some campaigners say years of unclear and conflicting government advice on the policy has allowed schools and councils to use a loophole to push these children into Year 1 to ease pressure on places in reception. Bracknell Forest Council says: \u2018If you choose for your child not to start until their statutory school age... starting in a", "summary": "Nick Gibb says schools and councils must do the right thing for children .

Research shows the number of visits to casualty has dropped by 8 per cent in areas where patients can see family doctors seven days a week. Academics say there is a huge decrease in the numbers going to emergency departments with mild or moderate ailments such as colds, sprains and back ache. They also believe the NHS should pay GPs more to open routinely at weekends \u2013 possibly by using cash saved from the reduction in visits to A&E. Research shows that if GP surgeries were open at weekends would mean two million fewer patients waiting in A&E every year. File photo shows ambulances parked outside St Thomas's Hospital in London . Over the past decade the numbers of patients arriving in casualty has soared by 50 per cent with 21.7million in 2013/14. The rise has partly been blamed on a contract introduced by Labour in 2004 which enabled GPs to opt out of working evenings and weekends. These services are now subcontracted to private firms which patients either do not trust or do not know how to get hold of, instead going to A&E. Professor Peter Dolton, an economics expert at Sussex University, looked at the A&E attendances at Central London Clinical Commissioning Group, an NHS body covering 34 GP practices. Four of the surgeries offer weekend appointments to all patients as part of a Government pilot project launched in 2013. The research found that, on average, the number of patients arriving at A&E dropped by 8 per cent \u2013 up to a 10 per cent reduction at weekends. If this were true for all surgeries across England, then an estimated 1.736million fewer patients would have gone to casualty last year. The scheme \u2013 called the Prime Minister\u2019s Challenge Fund \u2013 involves 1,147 English GP surgeries which were each given a slice of \u00a350million to ensure several practices in the area stay open seven days a week. Draft research by NHS England last month found that, since the scheme was established in Birmingham, the number of A&E patients had dropped by as much as 25 per cent at one practice.

Adverts for a Jewish play which received five-star reviews in one of the religion's newspapers have been banned from the London Underground because they 'could cause offence'. Transport for London (TfL) decided that posters of Joshua Harmon's acclaimed production, Bad Jews, contravened its policy following an investigation by an advertising regulator. The poster for the comedy, which is about a family brought together after the death of their Holocaust-survivor grandfather, shows four characters in a quarrel on the floor. One complaint was made to the the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) during the play's first campaign, but the regulator concluded that the poster did not breach rules. However, TfL disagreed with the ASA's ruling and told the Evening Standard it would not clarify the precise reason for the rejection. A TfL spokesperson said in a statement: 'The advert \"Bad Jews\" was previously displayed on our network as our advertising contractor approved it without consulting us. 'It was subsequently submitted for display again and has been rejected as it contravened our advertising policy, which states that adverts will not be approved if they may cause widespread or serious offence.' Producer Danny Moar has blasted TfL's decision, saying it seemed like 'censorship', despite the play winning a five-star review for the Jewish Chronicle. He told the paper: 'Half the cast are Jewish, I'm Jewish, the writer is Jewish and the word \"bad\" in the title, in so far as it matters, doesn't mean \"evil\" \u2014 it means \"non-observant\".

The huge 22-story tall booster took off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 3.50am GMT this morning (10.50pm EST yesterday), the third flight in less than two months for SpaceX. On this occasion, though, SpaceX made no attempt to land the rocket again on a floating barge, as they had done previously. Scroll down for video . A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying two commercial communications satellites launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 41 this morning. It is seen here over the skyline of downtown Cocoa Beach in a two minute time exposure of the launch . On top of the rocket were a pair of satellites built by Boeing and owned by Paris-based Eutelsat communications and Bermuda-based Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS). The satellites are unique in that they are powered solely by ion propulsion, as opposed to chemical propellant that is usually favoured. This has the benefit of making the much lighter, as they don\u2019t need to carry fuel with them. \u2018The value of electrical propulsion is that it allows the satellite operator to need much less fuel than when the satellite has chemical propulsion,\u2019 Eutelsat chief executive Michel de Rosen said in an interview before launch. Without the fuel they would normally need - hydrazine - the satellites each weighed less than 5,000lbs (2,270kg), whereas normally they would have weighed more than 8,000lbs (3,630kg) without an ion propulsion system. This also meant both satellites could be carried by SpaceX\u2019s medium-sized Falcon 9 rocket \u2013 had they been laden with fuel, only one could have been taken to orbit on this launch. This also brought the cost of the launch down - Eutelsat and ABS paid around \u00a320 million ($30 million) each to place their satellites on the rocket, as a single launch costs about \u00a340 million ($60 million). However, as ion propulsion - also known as Solar Electric Propulsion - is much weaker than chemical propulsion, it will take them months rather than weeks to reach their desired geostationary orbit. \u2018You can have a much lighter satellite, so that, in theory, the cost of your launch is much reduced.\u2019 The lighter of the two satellites, ABS 3A, will reach its destination by the end of August, while the Eutelsat 115 West B spacecraft will take a few weeks longer. In space, the two satellites were released one by one in opposite directions, so as to avoid a collision. Once in their desired orbits, about 22,300 miles (35,800km) above Earth, they will be able to remain operational for at least two decades. To get there, they will use what is called a \u2018supersynchronous transfer orbit\u2019, which involves performing a large elliptical \u2018loop\u2019 around Earth to reach this relatively distant location. Once they reach their orbits, they will remain in one position over a particular part of the world, providing coverage to certain areas. Specifically, the ABS 3A satellite will connect the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

He was found shot dead in the bathroom of his locked apartment in January, hours before he was due to testify against President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in the Argentinian Congress. He was trying to arrest the President after claiming she helped cover up Iran's alleged role in a 1994 bombing which killed 85 at a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires. The mysterious circumstances surrounding Mr Nisman's death unleashed a storm of conspiracy theories. His ex-wife, Sandra Arroyo Salgado, hired a private team to analyse the autopsy results and run additional tests. On the offensive: Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (left) has denied claims helped Iran cover up a terrorist attack. The claims were made by Alberto Nisman (right) - who was mysteriously shot dead . Argentine authorities have not released full results of his autopsy, more than six weeks after he was found sprawled in a pool of blood in his flat. The few details made public so far have suggested suicide, although the lead investigator into Mr Nisman's death said she could not categorically say if he shot himself in the head or was killed. But today, his ex-wife - the mother of their two children - said: 'Nisman didn't have an accident. He didn't commit suicide. They murdered him.' Earlier today, Ms Arroyo Salgado, who is a judge, deposited the forensic evidence backing up her allegations at the state prosecutors' office in Buenos Aires. She did not give details of the findings to journalists. Yesterday, a full-page advert, signed by the Government of Argentina and bearing an Argentinian flag, questioned Mr Nisman's motives and attacked his argument. 'One must ask oneself what objectives Nisman was pursuing with a complaint plagued with contradictions, lacking logic and without legal basis,' it declared. Mrs Kirchner: The president's name was on a draft warrant discovered in the home of Alberto Nisman . 'Can one think of a hypothesis other than seeking to generate a destabilising political effect?' Mr Nisman had accused the President and top administration officials of helping Iranian officials hide their and Iran's alleged role in the country's worst-ever terrorist attack. His 289-page investigation, which was published a few days after his death, was based on wiretaps of top administration officials that he argued proved the secret deal with Iran. According to Mr Nisman, the President allegedly orchestrated the deal in exchange for economic trade. Ms Kirchner rejected the allegations, and Iran denied any role in the bombing. The prosecutor was found shot in the head in his apartment in the capital's upmarket Puerto Madero district on January 18, triggering protests in the streets. His mysterious death triggered a PR fightback by the government, whose officials said the prosecutor was trying to smear the nation. Senior government official Gustavo Lopez claimed last month the allegations were part of an attempt to unseat the President and bring neoliberals back to power.", "summary": "Alberto Nisman's body found in January a day before Congress hearing .

It has long been a mystery to men why so many women enjoy watching tear jerker movies with their friends. But now scientists have come up with a suggestion \u2013 sharing sad emotions helps women bond. A research team at Cardiff University found that by sharing their emotions women found the happy parts of films more joyful and the sad bits less sad. Job van der Schalk, a psychologist at Cardiff University, said: \u2018Our findings suggest that a negative emotional experience such as watching a \u2018weepy\u2019 is more positive when it is shared with a friend. \u2018And, at the same time, a positive emotional experience, such as watching a \u2018romcom\u2019, should equally be more pleasant when shared.\u2019 The study involved 30 pairs of female friends aged between 20 and 33 who were shown emotionally powerful images and asked to rate them on a scale from \u2018very negative\u2019 to \u2018very positive\u2019. The scientists put one of each pair in a brain scanner to monitor their reactions, and the volunteers were also asked to view and rate the images while on their own and also while together. The researchers found the images were seen more positively when the pairs were together, The Sunday Times reported.

Another of the fugitives is Mohammed Jahangir Alam, 32, who was sentenced to 14 years in his absence in March 2010 for rape and sexual assault by penetration. Alam, who is originally from Bangladesh, arrived in the UK on a temporary visa in October 2007 and moved to Cheltenham the following year, when he physically and sexually abused his victim, the NCA said.

In almost 19 years in charge of the Gunners, Wenger has won three Premier League titles, lifted five FA Cups, led his team to their only ever European final and masterminded the move to the Emirates. When he does eventually decide to step down, Wenger\u2019s legacy will not just be about his successes, but also his longevity. Arsene Wenger has been at Arsenal for almost 19 years, while every other team has changed manager . Wenger led the Gunners to their first Champions League final, and has won three Premier League titles . The Arsenal boss has been in north London since September 1996, surviving 156 Premier League bosses . In an era where Premier League chairmen are as forgiving to their managers as Jose Mourinho tends to be towards referees, Wenger is approaching two decades in the job \u2013 almost 15 years longer than the next longest-serving manager in the division. In fact, since the Frenchman arrived in north London, there have been 156 changes in management at the other clubs in the division. Here Sporstmail looks at the men Wenger has survived\u2026 . What counts as a change? With caretaker managers, interim appointments, and even the odd case of two men doing the job at the same time, it can be difficult to tell when exactly a club have officially changed managers.

Added to that, for those few occasions when two men have been in charge at the same time, they are counted as only one sacking unless, as with the case of Roy Evans when he worked alongside Gerard Houlier at Liverpool, one is sacked before the other.

The emotional portraits, taken at three 'school' facilities around Washington state, show the inmates standing in prison corridors and resting in their rooms - as well as others which simply try to show how they are feeling. All of the subjects have been locked away after sentencing in the state's juvenile courts, and are part of a project by photographer Steve Davis. Incarcerated: The photo series shows inmates held in Washington state's juvenile prison system, such as the two men above . Grim: One inmate is pictured above in his room, which features a combination toilet-sink, which seemingly leaks . Bleak surroundings: Photographer Steve Davis visited three school-cum-prison facilities in the state, and photographed inmates and their surroundings . Cuffed: These two prisoners have their wrists and ankles bound in the uncompromising portrait above . However, while Davis, whose images are due to be published in an upcoming book, focused on the prisoners' human side for his series, he deliberately left out one aspect: their pasts. Each portrait has been left without a label identifying the prisoner, in an attempt to break the link between those depicted and their crimes. He also shows their bleak living conditions, from a stark gym to a deserted exercise yard, to uncomfortable-looking standard-issue single beds.

Davis, who took the photographs between 1997 and 2005, met the subjects through his work as a resident artist in three of Washington's detention centers, which double as schools. Obscure: Davis made the deliberate decision not to mention the crimes which led to the youths being locked away .

Prison system: State officials say the juvenile detention centers are a last resort for dangerous youths or those who have no responded to other measures . Around 750 youths a year are sent to juvenile detention facilities in Washington. State information on the system says those sent there have often committed violent crimes or ignored previous punishments. Information from the overseeing Social and Health Services department says: 'These youngsters are typically serious and violent offenders or youth with extensive offense histories who have not responded to local sanctions and interventions.' Children as young as 12 can be incarcerated, and can stay in the facilities until they are 20. More than 90 per cent are male. According to data from September 2014, around two thirds are aged 16-18. Some 19 per cent are sex offenders, while 54 per cent have been convicted of violent crimes.

A 27-year-old childcare director has been arrested after she allegedly falsely claimed more than $3 million worth of child care subsidies. Image posed by models . The 27-year-old was arrested on Monday and charged with three counts of Obtaining a Financial Benefit By Deception. Police will allege Ms Higgins started fraudulently claiming Special Child Care Subsidies (SCCB), worth more than $3 million, in December 2013. SCCB is a payment that subsidises up to the full cost of child care for a child who is at risk of serious abuse or neglect, or where the child's family is experiencing temporary financial hardship. Ms Higgins' Aussie Giggles is a family day care provider, meaning she cares for children in her own home. Her arrest is a result of a joint AFP, Department of Human Services (DHS) and Department of Social Services (DSS) investigation after the agencies discovered irregularities in payments.

Foxman, ADL national director, said: 'Some will certainly find Lena Dunham\u2019s stereotypes about cheap Jews offensive. Others will take issue with the very idea of comparing a dog and a Jewish boyfriend.

The Norwegian has set the bar high and riled opponents by repeatedly saying he wants nothing less than a clean sweep. Jock Stein and Martin O\u2019Neill are the only Parkhead managers in the club\u2019s history to have achieved the feat.

However, Deila defended the treble talk, saying: \u2018What\u2019s the worst thing that can happen? That you don\u2019t reach your goals? \u2018I can say I am happy to win one title this year and reach a goal. But that\u2019s boring. You can say something else, but everybody knows the demands of this club. I have said that all season and there is so much hard work and so many games but we have a good chance to win a trophy on Sunday and we have prepared for that.\u2019 The accepted practice for managers is to try to remove pressure and expectation from the shoulders of their players by playing down trophy talk, but Deila rejects that idea completely. \u2018I learned at Stromsgodset that if you say you are satisfied to be number six then you come sixth. \u2018If you say then that you only want to get to the cup final then you lose the cup final. \u2018You have to say you want to win the league or League Cup. You have to reach for something. It\u2019s in your head mentally. Martin O'Neill was the last manager to win the domestic treble at Celtic . \u2018This club is so big and has such a good team that it\u2019s possible.

They were at the Aberdeen game, away, standing with the supporters. It was a crazy experience for them. They just said that the supporters were crazy and they don\u2019t look at the football match. They smelled of smoke and beer. But they will be here on Sunday.\u2019 Famously pictured removing his clothes on the pitch after Stromsgodset avoided relegation, Deila says he has no plans to embarrass his daughters by repeating the feat if he wins on Sunday. \u2018They are used to it. They\u2019ve seen their father doing stupid things before. They are 15 years old and they are probably a little embarrassed about that. \u2018They were there when I took off my clothes after that game.

An accountant who got drunk at her father's wedding because she was upset that she was not sat with her newly discovered biological family then caused a head on crash when she got behind the wheel. Julianna Naylor, 30, was more than three times over the legal drink drive limit when she drove the wrong way on the A90 dual carriageway near Kinfauns, Scotland. Naylor, who was so drunk she could not remember how she ended up on the wrong side of the trunk road linking Perth and Dundee, caused a head-on crash with a car which was overtaking a heavy goods lorry. She had been at her father's wedding earlier that day and was upset after she was put at a table a distance away from the rest of her family. Naylor had only recently been reunited with her biological father. She was jailed for six months and banned from driving for five years after she admitted the offence and accepted that she 'could have killed someone.' Sheriff Lindsay Foulis told her: 'At the relevant time you were driving when the level of alcohol was more than three times over the legal limit. 'You managed to find yourself on the wrong side of the dual carriageway. Thinking it was a two way road you were driving in the outside lane of the dual carriageway.' He added: 'You very frankly note that you could have killed someone and that you dread to think what could have happened. It is to your credit that you have that insight. 'There are a number of aggravating factors. You were considerably over the legal limit to drive. The element of dangerousness was not momentary. You have a previous conviction for an analogous matter.' Naylor was jailed despite a number 'glowing testimonials' about her job and her overcoming a difficult background. She had a previous conviction for careless drunken driving in 2004. Naylor of Errol, admitted driving while she was more than three times over the limit on 20 September last year. She also admitted driving dangerously and on the wrong side of the dual carriageway before crashing into another car and causing extensive damage to both vehicles. She crashed her Nissan Juke into the Ford Fiesta being driven by Stuart Paterson. Naylor was so drunk she drove the wrong way on the A90 dual carriageway, causing a head-on crash .

'Unfortunately, because of the alcohol taken she found herself on the wrong side of the road,' Mr Richardson said. He said Mr Paterson was overtaking a lorry when he was suddenly confronted by Naylor's car in the outside lane coming towards him at speed. He managed to take partial evasive action and nobody was injured, although both cars were badly damaged.

Musashi was attacked by the US Navy in 1944 and went down with more than 1,000 members of crew on board. Despite numerous witness accounts its exact location remained a mystery for decades. But the ship was discovered earlier this month after Microsoft's billionaire co-founder Paul Allen spent eight years searching for it with his personal submarine. Scroll down for video . The remains of a Japanese warship that sunk more than 70 years ago have been captured on film for the first time . Allen has now released footage showing the huge warship, which was the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleship ever constructed, on the floor of the Sibuyan Sea - nearly two miles under the surface. He is hoping the discovery 'brings closure' to those who lost relatives aboard the ship, according to his website. His yacht, the M/Y Octopus, has a remote operated probe Octo ROV that initially located the Musashi at the beginning of March. The Octopus is also outfitted with an exploration submarine. Allen and his research team used the historical records of four different countries in order to pinpoint the location of the ship. Musashi was attacked by the US Navy in 1944 and went down with more than 1,000 members of crew on board. Despite witness accounts it was never found or disturbed . The amazing footage shows coral and barnacles growing on the huge warship, which was the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleship ever constructed . The inside of the ship can only be glimpsed at throughout the video. Above, the camera looks through a hole . After discovering it Allen posted a photo of a valve from the wreckage, which he described as the 'first confirmation' that it was of Japanese origin. He wrote in a tweet: 'RIP (rest in peace) crew of Musashi, approximately 1,023 (lives) lost.' He promised that he would soon post video of the ship's catapult and valve areas. The Sibuyan Sea - at the heart of the Philippines' central Visayas islands - now covers busy shipping lanes and lies on the path of most tropical storms that cross the country from the Pacific Ocean.

Iger learned that Job's cancer had returned half an hour before Disney announced it was buying Jobs' Pixar studio in 2006.

Confession: On the day of the deal in 2006, the pair found a secluded spot on the Pixar campus in Emeryville, California, pictured, where Jobs put his arm around Iger's shoulder and revealed that his cancer was back . In the book titled 'Becoming Steve Jobs' by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli, due to be published on March 24, details emerged of the business pact that made Jobs' Disney's largest shareholder. Iger reasoned that Disney's $7 billion deal for Pixar was not about Jobs or his medical condition so it did not need to be disclosed, according to the biography. The book details how Iger told Jobs: 'You're our largest shareholder, but I don't think that makes this matter. You're not material to this deal. We're buying Pixar, we're not buying you.' Jobs, the prolific co-founder of Apple, was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003. He underwent surgery to remove it in 2004, but the tumor returned and he had a liver transplant in 2009. The book details how on January 24, 2006, the proposed day of the deal, Iger was at Pixar's headquarters for the ceremony when Jobs asked to go for a private walk. As the pair found a secluded spot on the campus in Emeryville, California, Jobs put his arm around Iger's shoulder and revealed that his cancer was back. Secret: Iger, right, reasoned that the $7 billion deal was on the value of Pixar, not Jobs, left, or his medical condition, so, after consulting a lawyer, the deal went ahead .

In the second half at BT Murrayfield, Vern Cotter\u2019s men lost the plot rather than doing the basics right and there did not seem to be anyone giving direction in the last 20 minutes. It is an inexperienced side and we saw that naivety in spades on Saturday. Scotland's dismal Six Nations campaign ended with a 40-10 thrashing by Ireland at Murrayfield . Scotland should not concede 40 points at home and lose by a margin of 30 points to Ireland. A championship that promised so much has, ultimately, delivered very little and Scotland\u2019s dismal run in the Six Nations continues. In 12 matches, we have won only once and that was courtesy of a last-minute drop goal in Rome last season. That says it all really. It is particularly painful when placed against the style and substance displayed by the Irish, England, France and Wales on what was a stunning day. For the tournament to go down to the last second of the last game was amazing but it was what happened in the lead-up to those tense dying moments which made Saturday truly remarkable. Scotland's huge loss on Saturday was their fifth in the tournament and they finished bottom of the table . I thought Wales would rack up a load of points against Italy but they only did this in a devastating second-half display. As that game was drawing to a close, with Wales 28 points better off than Ireland and looking like scoring again, it appeared that it was game over and Wales would win the Six Nations. But they missed the chance and Italy scored down the other end. There was a collective cheer in Italy, Ireland and England because it gave the latter two countries a chance. I felt Wales were still favourites as, although I thought Ireland and England would win their games, I didn\u2019t think they would be able to accumulate enough points to go above Wales. How wrong I was! I felt it was a perfect day for Scotland to really show what they were all about because there was no pressure on them whatsoever and they could just go out and play with total freedom. To a point, they did this but so did Ireland \u2014 and they did it far better than their hosts. Ireland were crowned Six Nations winners after a dramatic final day that saw them edge England and Wales . Both England and Ireland had targets they knew they had to win by to have a chance of lifting the Six Nations trophy.

David Cameron could be given his own election programme if he refuses to show up for televised leaders debates, it was claimed today. Broadcasters last week insisted they would push ahead with plans for three debates in April \u2013 including a face-off between the Prime Minister and Ed Miliband. But the BBC is understood to have backed down from threats to 'empty chair' Mr Cameron if he refuses to show. If the corporation pushes ahead with its planned Cameron vs Miliband debate without the Prime Minister it risks being accused of giving an unprecedented platform to the Labour leader, just a week before the election. To meet strict impartiality rules during election campaigns, the BBC is considering giving Mr Cameron his own show in return, the Independent on Sunday claimed today. Labour have accused the Prime Minister of 'ducking and weaving' to get out of the debates and called for new laws to make sure leaders debates always take place. Ed Miliband said he would make 'fair and impartial leaders' debates' compulsory. But the proposal was mocked by the former SNP leader Alex Salmond today. Mr Salmond said he supported having TV debates but added: 'Could you actually pass a law which says that somebody has to turn up at a TV debate? 'What do you do when David Cameron doesn't turn up? Shall we stick him in the clink, do we put him in Wandsworth [prison] or somewhere?' 'I don't think you can actually do that. Surely it's the public who have got to enforce the TV debates by the reaction to people who are too scared to turn up.'

That would mean parties are consulted but not given the right to veto the debates taking place. Ed Miliband has accused David Cameron of 'running scared' of facing him in televised leaders' debates . Labour believes this could be done by establishing the Broadcasters' Liaison Group as a trust in statute so it is the recognised legal body for deciding dates, format, volume and attendees of the debates. A Labour government would set a deadline of 2017 for changes to be put in place, giving more than enough time to plan the debates for a 2020 election. Mr Miliband told The Observer: 'In recent days the British public has been treated to the unedifying and tawdry spectacle of a prime minister seeking to duck out of the TV debates he once claimed to support with great enthusiasm.' He said the broadcasters had 'made it clear they would not be cowed by his tactics but it is wrong for them and the British public to have governing parties use this kind of pressure in campaign periods'.

A close-up of the special West Brom logo that will be worn on the white shirts . Jeff Astle was a prolific centre forward who scored 174 goals in 361 matches for West Bromwich Albion in a decade-long spell at The Hawthorns between 1964 and 1974. Known as 'The King' by supporters of the club, Astle's crowning glory came when he scored the extra time winner in the 1968 FA Cup final against Everton at Wembley. Two years later, Astle scored in Albion's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in the League Cup final, becoming the first player to score in finals of both English cup competitions at Wembley. Astle won five caps for England and was part of the squad at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. He passed away on January 19, 2002 at the age of 59, with a coroner finding that repeated minor traumas caused by heading the heavy leather footballs of his era were the cause of his death. Baggies fans applaud in the ninth minute of every game - No 9 was his shirt number - in tribute to him. His family will officially launch the Foundation, which will raise funds for research into CTE or chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Astle died of the condition in 2002 at the age of just 59. The disease is normally linked to boxing but coroners at the footballer's inquest ruled Astle's brain had been damaged by heading heavy leather footballs in the 1960s and 1970s.

The owner of a string of award-winning Indian takeaways has been charged with manslaughter after a pub landlord with a severe peanut allergy died after eating a curry. Paul Wilson, 38, suffered an anaphylactic shock after eating food from the The Indian Garden in Easingwold, North Yorkshire. The takeaway's owner, Mohammed Khalique Zaman, has been charged of manslaughter by gross negligence - the first case of its kind in Britain. The 52-year-old, who runs the Indian Garden restaurant in Easingwold, North Yorkshire, will appear before Northallerton magistrates tomorrow. Father-of-one Mr Wilson, who had a six-year-old son, bought the curry in January last year and collapsed and died in his bathroom in the Oak Tree pub in Helperby, near Thirsk. His death came months before the introduction of new laws demanding that all food businesses provide allergy information on unpackaged foods like takeaways. All though allergies to foods like nuts are increasing, Mr Wilson's death is one of around ten each year in Britain. His case has led to a major purge by trading standards officers targeting a food fraud in which peanuts are used in place of more costly almonds. Most curry lovers are unable to taste the difference unless they suffer from a nut allergy - in which case the results can be fatal. Mohammed Khalique Zaman, 52, from York, has also been charged with perverting the course justice and an employment offence under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. He has run takeaways and restaurants across North Yorkshire for decades and his Jaipur Spice chain won best in the count in 2012 and 2013 at the Bangladeshi Catering Association Awards. Mr Wilson, from Sheffield, died in January 2014 at the Oak Tree Inn in the village of Helperby. The Sheffield born bar manager was found unresponsive in the living quarters of the Oak Tree Inn, in the village of Helperby, North Yorkshire, where he was working, the spokesman added. Police originally arrested two men - Zaman and an unknown 38-year-old employee - in connection with the death but the younger man was released without charge. Mohammed Khalique Zaman, 52, who runs the Indian Garden restaurant in Easingwold, North Yorkshire, will appear before Northallerton magistrates tomorrow. Paul Horsman, the manager of The York pub in Easingwold was one of the last people to see Mr Wilson alive. The pair would often stop for a drink at pub on his days off. The night before he died Mr Wilson was waiting for a taxi to take him home with the curry at the pub. Mr Horsman, who has run the pub for 26 years, said: 'It was a shock to find out someone I was talking to 12 hours before had died.'

Scroll down for video . French-born, Madrid-based photographer Pierre Gonnord (born 1963) has spent a lot of time among the gypsy communities of Spain, particularly in Seville and Perpignan . The Dream Goes Over the Time is the product of Gonnord's ten year documentarian of groups which live almost entirely off the grid. His job has developed into more of a lifestyle, investing time and energy establishing relationships with the communities. Gonnord said: 'People from the ghettos, the outskirts of the city, that flee from a globalized world from which they feel rejected...set out with nothing more than what they have on their back and a dog as their own only travel companion, embarking on a Grand Tour as nomads, with no return ticket, turning their backs on a (certain) world that no longer interests them.' The protagonists are captured in the style of Old Master paintings, with simple, dark sets focusing entirely on the subjects from the waist up. Old Masters were highly recognised and renown artists who would portrait their subjects, among other work, before the 1800s. Framed as almost royal subjects, the photographs shown an intense strength and resilience, with direct eye contact to the camera and in natural poses. Featured are an elderly lady wrapped in a shawl, a mother cradling her baby, and a boy leaning on a sack. Hauntingly beautiful: Gonnord seeks to photograph his subjects in the style of Old Masters paintings, with shots from the focusing on their expressions and how the light catches their faces . Gonnord lived among the groups he has featured in his exhibition, gaining their trust before immortalising them on camera . Even sleek equines are represented, signifying dwindling biodiversity in our contemporary world. The photos are not romanticised or glamorised, but instead seek to portray the raw reality of their characters. Gonnord's work creatively focuses on the individual, whilst representing the collective, resulting in a powerful exhibition of both individual portraiture and cultural documentation. The Dream Over The Time is running until April 25, 2015 at contemporary art gallery, Hasted Kraeutler, is located in Chelsea, New York City. Coal miners, punks, gypsies and immigrants are immortalised in his harrowing portraits, which seek to establish the social groups firmly in our cyber-history .

Brendan Rodgers' in-form Reds survived a first-half fright at Swansea on Monday night before emerging 1-0 winners to cut the gap on fourth-placed United to two points. Mignolet had to produce fine stops to deny Bafetimbi Gomis and Gylfi Sigurdsson in a first half Swansea dominated but Jordan Henderson's fortunate winner gave Liverpool their fifth successive Barclays Premier League victory. Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet punches a cross clear during his side's 1-0 win against Swansea . Captain Steven Gerrard congratulates Mignolet after the Reds' fifth successive Premier League victory . 'We showed the character and resilience during the game that you need if you're going to be successful,' Mignolet said. 'This was our sixth successive clean sheet away from home and we have to keep that going until the end of the season. 'You keep those clean sheets as a whole team. Everyone is playing together, doing their job and willing to fight for each other.' Liverpool have not lost in the league since a 3-0 defeat at United on December 14 when the stuttering Mignolet was dropped and replaced by Brad Jones. But Mignolet soon reclaimed his place and both he and Liverpool have gone from strength to strength ever since, the Merseysiders now unbeaten in 13 league games and Rodgers insisting they can catch second-placed Manchester City who are currently four points better off than his men. United's visit on Sunday might go a long way to determining if that ambition is feasible but Mignolet insists Liverpool have to focus solely on themselves and not their rivals for a top-four spot. Liverpool's players celebrate after Jordan Henderson's decisive second half goal at the Liberty Stadium . Mignolet pulls off an acrobatic save to deny Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson a goal . 'This win sets up the next game and that's a big game of course,' Mignolet said. 'But we don't have to make too much of it, there's three points there and we have to try to do our best to get the win at home. 'We just have to look at our own performances, there's no point in looking at the other teams, and keep doing what we've been doing in the last few months. 'We've still got all the big teams to play but the important thing is we don't look too forward ahead of ourselves.' Mignolet does not resemble the goalkeeper who visibly appeared anxious and made regular mistakes during the first half of the season. As well as his precious first-half saves at the Liberty Stadium he was commanding in the air and punched well under pressure, but he puts his impressive record down to those in front of him.

A shark attacked and killed a 52-year-old German tourist off Al-Qusayr in Egypt (library photo) Officials are conducting an investigation into the attack, which saw the man's leg bitten off at the knee. State news agency Al-Ahram report that the tourist was swimming with his wife when the attack happened. An official from the German Embassy in Cairo says they received reports that a German citizen died in the area but are not aware of the cause of death. It was the first fatal shark attack in Egypt since a string of maulings in 2010 that left a German woman dead and three Russian tourists wounded in another Red Sea resort. The attack happened just off Al-Qusayr, at a popular spot for tourists swimming . The shark attack is the first reported incident in five years, since one German woman was killed back in 2010 . In 2010, the German pensioner was mauled to death as she snorkelled in relatively shallow waters around the resort, which is famed for its scuba diving sites. She died just a day after Egyptian authorities lifted a 48-hour ban prompted by four other savage shark attacks. One victim lost a hand and another lost a leg. The Red Sea is home to several species of shark, but the type believed to have been behind the 2010 attacks was the oceanic whitetip common to the region. A red flag serving as a warning of shark sightings will be fluttering over Red Sea resorts following the death .

The auditor had expressed angst to friends that he believed he was the victim of 'an anti-Semitic whispering campaign'.

An anti-paedophile campaigner was bombarded with online messages claiming she lied in her bestselling misery memoir by a woman who had developed an 'obsession' with her, a court heard. Penny Mellor, 53, from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, allegedly attacked Shy Keenan through Twitter, emails and a blog, claiming she had fabricated an account of childhood sexual abuse. Ms Keenan, from Colchester, Essex, who describes herself as a justice campaigner, wrote a book in 2008 called Broken, where she told of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her stepfather. The revelation led to the conviction of Stanley Claridge and others in 2002 and Ms Keenan set up her own organisation, Phoenix Post, with campaigner Sara Payne, whose daughter was murdered. She also worked as a columnist for the Sun and revealed her early life on a BBC Newsnight programme. Chelmsford Crown Court heard that Mellor accused Ms Keenan of repeatedly lying in her book, claiming she was a fraudster and an attention seeker. Mellor denies stalking Ms Keenan and causing her serious alarm or distress between January 1 and 16 March 2013 by sending tweets, publishing statements about her in emails sent to work associates and carrying out a course of conduct which had a substantial effect on Ms Keenan's day to day activities. Prosecutor Tony Abell, opening the case to the jury, said the law against cyber stalking via social media under which Mellor was being tried only came into effect in January 2013. He said Mellor appeared 'to have developed something of an obsession with Shy Keenan and embarked upon a very personal campaign against her'. He said the tweets were personal and offensive and continued: 'She has accused her repeatedly of lying in the book \"Broken\". 'She has suggested Ms Keenan has groomed individuals, implied that she suffers from Munchausen's By Proxy and referred to her post traumatic stress disorder. 'Emails contain private information which Shy Keenan regards as sensitive, including copies of marriage certificates, addresses and the like.' Shy Keenan (pictured) wrote a book in 2008 called Broken, where she told of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her stepfather. Mellor allegedly claimed that Ms Keenan 'repeatedly lied' in her book . Mr Abell said Ms Keenan felt concerned about her own and her family's personal safety because the information might help other people with grudges against her. She had installed extra security and had had to go back on anti-depressants. The jury heard Mellor was a campaigner against false allegations of Munchausen by Proxy, where parents were the victims of false claims from their own children, for organisation Dare to Care. In 1998 to 1999, Mellor and Ms Keenan were in close communication but they fell out. Ms Keenan thought that Mellor's work might be offering support to real child abusers. The two women didn't have any contact again until late 2012. Mr Abell said the trigger was Ms Keenan writing in her", "summary": "Penny Mellor, 53, allegedly attacked Shy Keenan through emails and blog .

Claire Dean, 43, noticed an insect bite on her hip while gardening in September last year, but thought nothing of it. A few days later she began suffering mysterious flu-like symptoms, and soon found herself in crippling pain. A few days later she woke up with numb cheeks and noticed her face was paralysed - to the point where she looked unrecognisable in the mirror. She was in such agony she had to quit her job as a cleaner and was hospitalised for two weeks. Claire Dean, 43, was left with a paralysed face and in agonising pain after being bitten by a tick while gardening in September last year. She is pictured with daughter Alexandra, 21 . Ms Dean remembers being bitten on her hip but thought nothing of it. Days later, she suffered flu-like symptoms which became worse until she was in agony . After carrying out tests, doctors discovered the mother-of-two had developed Lyme disease, a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. She was prescribed antibiotics and underwent months of physiotherapy to help strengthen the muscles in her face - and is now telling her story to warn others of the dangers of tick bites. On the day she was bitten she had been wearing jeans and a baggy jumper, which she believes the tick must have become caught in. Ms Dean, from Castle Douglas, Scotland, said: 'I was in agony. The bites themselves weren't itchy or painful, so I didn't think they were the cause at first. 'I'm quite an active person and just put the aches and sharp pains down to my body being worn out.' She began suffering flu like symptoms and went to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, when the pain in her hip and back became so severe she could hardly move. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. It is is the most common tick-borne infectious disease in the UK, Europe and North America. Public Health England estimates there are 2,000 to 3,000 cases of Lyme disease in England and Wales each year, and that about 15 per cent of cases occur while people are abroad. Ticks are tiny arachnids found in woodland areas that feed on the blood of mammals, including humans. Tick bites often go unnoticed and the tick can remain feeding for several days before dropping off. The longer the tick is in place, the higher the risk of it passing on the infection. Cases of Lyme disease have been reported throughout the UK, but areas known to have a particularly high population of ticks include Exmoor, the New Forest in Hampshire, the South Downs and parts of Wiltshire and Berkshire. They are also found in parts of Surrey and West Sussex, Thetford Forest in Norfolk, the Lake District, the North York Moors and the Scottish Highlands.

+{"article": "Parents are increasingly pressuring doctors to delay vaccines for young children, raising the threat from preventable diseases such as the flu, measles and mumps, a new study suggests. Researchers from the University of Colorado surveyed 534 physicians across the country with 93 per cent reporting that they had received requests for jabs to be rescheduled. Some parents wanted to space shots out so their children weren't jabbed so many times in one sitting while others worried about possible vaccine-related neurological complications. Children in the U.S. receive around 29 vaccines for about 14 illnesses between birth and six years, based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Growing trend: Parents are increasingly pressuring doctors to delay vaccines for young children, raising the threat from preventable diseases such as the flu, measles and mumps, a new study suggests . Three-quarters of the doctors surveyed said they agreed to vaccine delays at least some of the time, even though they knew it was potentially harmful. In some cases, practitioners feared they would lose patients from their practice if they pushed the recommended vaccine schedule too hard. Only three per cent said they had refused such requests. Overall, 25 per cent of doctors said the demand for injection delays were up from the previous year. Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children have faced scrutiny after a measles outbreak in California blighted more than 100 adults and children since December. Most cases are tied to an outbreak at Disneyland in California, which likely began with a traveler who brought it in. However, the exact source of the Disneyland-linked cases is not known. Doctors are concerned about unvaccinated or under-vaccinated children becoming ill and spreading disease to others. The potential repercussions are worrisome and are happening 'right now with the measles outbreak,' said Dr. Allison Kempe, a University of Colorado researcher and a member of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory committee. The survey, conducted in 2012, didn't ask doctors which particular vaccines parents asked to delay. The recommended CDC vaccine schedules are based on research around what time they will be most effective at preventing disease. Delaying shots targeted for certain ages means they may be less effective later on. It also makes it more likely that children will never get vaccinated, because parents get too busy or forget to schedule another doctor's visit, said Dr. Robert Frenck, an infectious diseases specialist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. He was not involved in the new study, published in Monday's Pediatrics. 'People just don't understand that these diseases are all there, they're not gone. They're just being kept at bay right now. If people stop vaccinating, they come right back,' Frenck said.

+{"article": "A millionaire accused of making child pornography with two teenage girls has said that he thought the alleged victims were of-age women who worked at a strip club. Burton Gersh, 69, from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, is accused of producing hundreds of sexually explicit photos of two girls, aged 16 and 17, in his lavish mansion beginning in 2010. He asked a federal judge to allow a 'mistake-of-age defense' in his pending trial in which he faces pornography charges. Burton Gersh (pictured above) is accused of producing hundreds of sexually explicit photos of two girls, aged 16 and 17, in his lavish mansion beginning in the fall of 2010 with accomplice Les Sidweber . The former seafood wholesaler also requested in a motion filed in federal court that jurors know the girls engaged in prostitution, according to USA Today. A federal prosecutor is reportedly fighting both requests. 'The alleged victims appeared to be over the age of 18 and both were strippers in a club in Philadelphia, presumably fooling a legitimate business about their age,' the motion from Gersh's attorney, Michael Engle, said. The motion adds that Gersh 'may not have reasonably been able to ascertain the alleged victims' ages because of their misrepresentations, physical appearance and stated occupation'. 'At least one' of the girls was given a release form to sign before the photo school, the motion said. Signing the motion would indicate 'that she was 18 years of age or older'. Gersh and his accomplice, photographer Les Sidweber, 73, were arrested and have been in federal custody since November 3. Their trial is set for May 19. One of the girls was allegedly approached while walking out of her school in her school uniform and encouraged to go to one of the defendant's houses for a modeling shoot. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Louis Lappen told CBS Philadelphia in November. One of the victims said that she was approached while walking out of school in her school uniform and encouraged to go to one of the defendant's houses for a modeling shoot. Illicit pictures show characteristics of Gersh's home, pictured above, investigators said . The criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court claims that Gersh and Sidweber paid for the two Pennsylvania girls to come to their homes, strip naked and perform sex acts on one another and on Gersh. 'Once these men earned the trust of these victims, they exploited them on multiple occasions,' Lappen said. The illicit pictures show identifiable characteristics of Gersh's home, including one with a backyard gazebo that featured a sign 'Welcome to the Gershs', investigators told CBS Philadelphia. The defense claims that knowledge of the ages of the girls is crucial if Gersh is found guilty of 'purposefully' producing the child porgography. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Morgan, however, said the mistake-of-age defense should not be taken into account.

Three children in every classroom suffer from mental health problems, Nick Clegg warned today as he unveiled a massive new investment in tackling the national crisis. The Deputy Prime Minister announced an extra \u00a31.25 billion over the next five years, to help youngsters at risk of self-harming, depression and committing suicide. Mr Clegg said the money would support an extra 110,000 children in England who have suffered 'institutionalised form of cruelty' by being denied the support they need. Among children aged 5-16, one in 10 have a diagnosable mental health disorder, equivalent to three in every class. As many as one in 12 deliberately self-harm and 80,000 children suffer from severe depression, including 8,000 under the age of 10. According to figures released by the Lib Dems, the number of children aged 15 and 16 with depression doubled between the 1980s and 2000s. The extra \u00a3250million-a-year in funding will be confirmed in next week's Budget, and is a fully-funded government policy, not just an ambition to be included in the Lib Dem manifesto. Mr Clegg made the announcement during a visit to Clock View Hospital in Liverpool, where he took part in a group therapy session. Mr Clegg said: 'I think it will have a huge impact. You have got, on average, three children in every classroom in our country who have got mental health problems and are not being properly catered for, not being properly identified, not being properly supported. 'This huge expansion - \u00a31.25 billion over the course of the next parliament - will help around 110,000 children, children who at the moment are being let down by the system.

'This big announcement I'm making is going to seek to change that. It won't happen overnight, it will happen over the coming years.' He added: 'It's all part of a journey where we start, as a country, lifting the stigma that has surrounded mental health and making sure that we treat mental health in the same way as we do people with physical health problems.' The funding will also help improve support for new mothers, who had previously struggled with a 'second-class mental health service', Mr Clegg said. 'It is terrifying to think that in this day and age some new mothers are having to travel miles for treatment and others are even being separated from their newborn child This has to stop,' he said. 'This funding will make sure they get the treatment and support they need so they in turn can give their children the best possible start in life.'

David Humphreys released a signed affidavit saying state GOP chairman John Hancock mentioned November 24, when he was still a party consultant, that Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich was Jewish. 'The meaning I took from Mr. Hancock's statement and tone of his comments was clear: He (Tom Schweich) is Jewish \u2014 in case you didn't know \u2014 and that being Jewish is a negative attribute for Tom Schweich's gubernatorial race,' Humphreys affirmed in the affidavit. Auditor Tom Schweich (left) committed suicide believing himself to be target of anti-Semitic smear campaign, which a top Republican donor said Missouri GOP chairman John Hancock (right) joined in on . Humphreys is the first person to publicly attest to hearing such comments from Hancock. Hancock said Thursday that he had met with Humpheys at the businessman's Joplin office to discuss Republican Party fundraising efforts, but he denied saying anything about Schweich's religion. 'It didn't happen,' Hancock said. Paul Mouton, a Republican Party insider who is acquainted with both Hancock and Humphreys, said he also was at the Nov. 24 meeting. His recollection backs up Hancock's account. 'I did not hear him say anything about Tom Schweich being Jewish,' Mouton told the AP. Schweich fatally shot himself February 26 at his home in the St. Louis suburb of Clayton, just a month after declaring his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor. The shooting occurred minutes after Schweich told an Associated Press reporter that he was ready to go public with allegations that Hancock had made anti-Semitic remarks about him. Schweich had Jewish ancestry but attended an Episcopal church. Affirmed: David Humphreys, CEO of building products company Tamko, says he heard Hancock make a remark about Schweich's background that implied a negative view of his Jewish roots . Former US Senator John Danforth, an Episcopal minister who was Schweich's friend and political mentor, delivered the eulogy at Schweich's funeral. He suggested his friend had been driven to suicide by political bullying and an anti-Semitic whispering campaign. Danforth said Thursday that he asked Humphreys to come forward with his account, because Hancock has denied making such remarks. He said the Republican State Committee should oust Hancock from the chairmanship. 'The brand of the Republican Party in Missouri has been badly damaged, and it's very important to set the record clear,' Danforth said. 'I think it's important for Republicans to dissociate themselves from what has happened in the campaign against Tom Schweich.' Hancock has said previously that he had mistakenly believed Schweich was Jewish and, although he had no specific recollection of doing so, has said it's possible he might have mentioned that in an off-handed way while talking to prospective donors. Hancock said he learned the truth about Schweich's religion during a pair of conversations November 14 with Danforth and Schweich, and he said he certainly never mentioned Schweich was Jewish after that.

Mother-of-four Karen was fed up of trying to make her limp hair look and feel thicker. Like many busy women, she had found her hair had thinned, thanks to hormonal changes, but this can also be caused by stress, a poor diet or illness. BEFORE: Mother-of-four Karen (pictured) is fed-up with trying to make her long, limp hair look thicker . While Karen had used clip-in hair extensions in the past, and found that they worked well, she wanted a longer-lasting solution. The most important thing with hair extensions is that they look natural. It\u2019s equally important that they don\u2019t damage your real hair or prevent it from growing. So, we visited the Real Hair salon in Chelsea, South-West London, where stylist Chanelle applied Beauty Works semi-permanent hair extensions. With 46 shades to choose from, it was easy to match them to Karen\u2019s hair colour. The strips of hair have a bonded keratin tip, which is attached to your hair. The keratin is transparent, which means that the joins are barely visible. Chanelle blended four different shades into Karen\u2019s hair to create a natural look. Then, she cut them, so that they blended in with Karen\u2019s natural hair. AFTER: Karen (pictured) had semi-permanent hair extensions put in at the Real Hair salon in Chelsea, South-West London, they should last six months . The finished result promises to last six months. The keratin bond can withstand washing, drying and brushing \u2014 however, good aftercare is essential. To keep her extensions in top condition, Karen was advised to use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner, along with a serum, heat protection product and weekly deep conditioning mask.

Father-of-one Daniel Batchelor, 36, was forced to have his lower right leg amputated after falling off a ladder while working as an engineer and breaking his limb in two places. He bought a drug online to help him deal with the pain, but was found unconscious in bed at his home in Weymouth, Dorset, in January last year after taking an accidental overdose of the medication. The family of Daniel Batchelor, pictured with son Alfie, has been awarded compensation after he died taking an accidental overdose of a drug he bought online to fight the pain caused by a work accident . Mr Batchelor had been working for Wifigear Ltd as a wireless installation engineer when, in 2011, his ladder collapsed underneath him, sending him plunging 12ft through the air, before hitting the concrete ground below. He broke his right leg in two places and fractured his right wrist in the fall. Despite multiple operations, he was unable to return to work and he went on to develop compartment syndrome in his leg - when pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels, causing paralysis and infection. Struggling to deal with the pain, Mr Batchelor decided to buy a drug online because he was allergic to opiate-based medicines that are usually prescribed. But he was found unconscious in his bed by his long-term partner of five years, Shari Newman, on 22 January, 2014. The father-of-one was forced to have his lower right leg amputated after falling off a ladder and breaking his limb in two places . He died after choking on his own vomit, which caused his brain to be starved of oxygen. An inquest found he had died as a result of an accidental overdose, taken with the intent to relieve himself from pain. The hearing at Dorset Coroner's Court also heard how he had suffered short-term memory problems after the accident and, as a result, took too much of the painkiller. Coroner Sheriff Payne said there was no evidence to suggest Mr Batchelor had taken the drugs with the intention of ending his life and said it was another episode of the father trying to get pain relief and misjudging the amount he was taking. His former employer has now admitted he had been given a ladder to carry out his work, despite it being inappropriate and dangerous for the task he was trying to do. And his family, including three-year-old son Alfie, has been awarded an undisclosed five-figure settlement. Anna Pask, from the Irwin Mitchell law firm, described it as 'a heartbreaking case'. She said: 'Daniel was working so hard to get his life back on track after his accident and he was looking forward to marrying his fiancee, Shari, in September 2014. 'His recovery and rehabilitation were very painful, but he showed remarkable courage and strength.

Officers today arrested eight men accused of taking part in the murder of more than 1,000 Muslims at a warehouse near Srebrenica, a team of Serbian and Bosnian prosecutors told the AP. Altogether, more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed in the eastern enclave by the Serbs in 1995 - the only atrocity in Europe to be labeled a genocide by the UN since World War II. Serbian prosecutors said they initially arrested seven suspects in pre-dawn raids at different locations in Serbia this morning, then caught the eighth suspect following a manhunt later in the day.

Chief Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic told the AP that all those arrested 'are former members of a special brigade of the Bosnian Serb police.' Serbia in the past has put on trial men who took a group of prisoners away from Srebrenica to be killed. And in 2011 it arrested Ratko Mladic - the warlord who masterminded the slaughter \u2014 and sent him to an international criminal court in The Hague, Netherlands. But today's arrests are Serbia's first attempt to bring to justice men who got their hands bloody in the killing machine known as the Srebrenica massacre 20 years ago this July. 'It is important to stress that this is the first time that our prosecutor's office is dealing with the mass killings of civilians and war prisoners in Srebrenica,' Bruno Vekaric, the lead Serb prosecutor in the case, said. He said Serbia was approaching a key moment in confronting its past. 'We have never dealt with a crime of such proportions,' said Vekaric, Serbia's deputy War Crimes Prosecutor. 'It is very important for Serbia to take a clear position toward Srebrenica through a court process.' Snows covers the area surrounding the now-abandoned warehouse where the massacre took place . Munira Subasic, head the Mothers of Srebrenica group, called the arrests 'good news.' 'It was time for Serbia to do something,' she said. 'This is a message to all criminals who fled and thought they are safe from justice that they can never rest.' The biggest arrest in the sweep was Nedeljko Milidragovic, the commander dubbed 'Nedjo the Butcher,' who went on to become a successful businessman in Serbia, the AP has learned.

Dfid last night insisted there was \u2018no evidence\u2019 that funding had been misused. The commission\u2019s report reveals that Dfid also funded training for the Bangladeshi police in taking fingerprints - including fingerprinting 40,000 convicted prisoners. But researchers questioned the value of the scheme in a country where fingerprint evidence is not admissible in court. The new study raised widespread concerns about the use of British aid to help so-called fragile states strengthen their police and security services. In Sudan, a programme to strengthen local police had to be abandoned in 2013 amid concerns about police brutality towards street children. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) a similar programme was scrapped last year after a United Nations report accused the Congolese national police of involvement in illegal killings.

The initiative was meant to raise standards by establishing beacons of good policing. The new \u2018model\u2019 stations were given extra cash for training and equipment. In Bangladesh, 15 of the new police stations were built. But the report finds that \u2018perceptions of police performance are, by most measures, worse in model police stations than the national average\u2019.

Palaeontologists discovered the fossilised remains of the 'super salamander' while excavating on the site of an ancient lake in southern Portugal. The predator, which grew to be around two metres (6.5 ft) in length and lived in lakes and rivers during the Late Triassic Period, has been named Metoposaurus algarvensis. Scroll down for video . Metoposaurus algarvensis, shown in the reconstruction above, would have been the size of a small car . With a mouth filled with sharp needle-like teeth it is thought to have preyed upon fish but could also have snapped up any small early dinosaurs that got to close to the water. The researchers behind the discovery, which was made in mudstone flats close to Loul\u00e9, in the Algarve region of southern Portugal, say that the new species was similar to other primitive amphibian that were widespread at the time. The rare giant salamander is thought to be one of the world's oldest species. It first appeared on the planet around 170 million years ago but there are now just a handful of surviving populations left in the wild. The Chinese giant salamander are now the largest living amphibians and can grow to be up to 1.8 metres (5.9 feet) in length. A Park Ranger holds the giant Chinese salamander found in Heyuan City, Guangdon Province, China . However, pollution of the rivers and streams where they live has put the species under threat. A park ranger in southern China recently caught a giant salamander weighing 5.5kg and measufing 83cm in length in Heyuan City in southern China's Guangdong Province, the first of its kind to be found in the area. After keeping it in a temporary tank, officials released the creature back into the river, watched by a crowd of fascinated tourists. They say they were probably the forerunners of modern amphibians such as frogs, newts and salamanders. Dr Steve Brusatte, a vertebrate palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh who led the study, said: 'This new amphibian looks like something out of a bad monster movie. 'It was as long as a small car and had hundreds of sharp teeth in its big flat head, which kind of looks like a toilet seat when the jaws snap shut. 'It was the type of fierce predator that the very first dinosaurs had to put up with if they strayed too close to the water, long before the glory days of T. rex and Brachiosaurus.' Scientists said the giant creature (illustrated) would have terrorised lakes during the rise of the dinosaurs . The researchers, whose work is published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, discovered the remains of Metoposaurs algarvensis on the bed of an ancient lake.

+{"article": "It is said that you can learn a lot about someone from their handshake - but it appears they may be learning far more about you than we have perhaps ever realised. Scientists have discovered that the traditional sign of friendship is actually a way for us to get a good sniff of someone we have just met. They found that humans unconsciously use the touch from a handshake as a way to sample smelly chemicals from each other. Scroll down for videos of the experiments conducted by the researchers . A firm handshake may also be a way of sampling the scent of the person you have just met, say scientists . In a study using hidden cameras, researchers observed people as they greeted each other with and without handshakes. Those that grasped hands upon meeting then touched their faces and around their nose far more often afterwards compared to a greeting where there was no physical contact. A high-five or fist bump may not be the most formal way of greeing someone, but they have one advantage over a handshake, say experts - they are better for our health. A British study has found that slapping palms together at head height passes on fewer than half as many germs as the traditional greeting. For the study, two Aberystwyth University researchers donned thick rubber gloves and one dipped his hand in a bacterial soup before shaking the other\u2019s hand. The number of bugs transmitted to the second glove was counted and the contact area measured. Then the procedure was repeated with high-fives and also with the even trendier fistbump, which involves two balled fists being gently and briefly rapped together. The high-five was more hygienic than the handshake but the fistbump was the cleanest of all, transferring around one-twentieth of the bugs of the handshake. It is thought that the brevity of the action and the smaller contact area helped slash transmission. The scientists believe that the face touching is a way of subtly sniffing the hand used in the handshake and it was particularly prevalent when greeting people of the same sex. Professor Noam Sobel, chair of neurobiology at the Weizmann Institute of Science, who led the research, said: 'It is well-known that we emit odours that influence the behaviour and perception of others but, unlike other mammals, we don't sample those odours from each other overtly. 'Instead, our experiments reveal handshakes as a discreet way to actively search for social chemosignals.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal eLife, believe their findings may provide some hints at why handshakes first evolved to become a greeting and cementing a friendship. It has since become a way of sealing a deal and even a sign of sportsmanship. Limp and damp handshakes are often seen as being an unattractive trait. But they may also provide us with unconscious olfactory clues about the other person. Many other animals use smell as a key part of learning more about each other, such as dogs that will regularly sniff each other upon greeting.", "summary": "Scientists at Israel's Weizmann Institute secretly filmed strangers meeting .

But the police chief pulled his gun from his waist and fired several times, hitting the 15-year-old boy in the buttocks. He held the teen at gunpoint and several motorists stopped to help until police arrived. The youngster was taken for treatment and he is in custody. Authorities said they were determining whether his weapon was real or a pellet gun. University police Chief Frank Mackesy, who drove his deputy to the hospital for treatment, told the Florida Times-Union Strudel needed numerous stitches. 'The suspect messed with the wrong guy,' he said. 'He was responding in a way he was trained to respond. If it had been anybody else out there, I don't know how this would have turned out.'

+{"article": "Mobile phone bills should begin to fall after a watchdog ordered telecoms companies to slash the cost of calling another network. For years, mobile users have faced extra charges for so-called 'cross-network' calls to friends, family and colleagues who have a different provider. The charges, known as the 'mobile termination rate', is passed on to the customer who made the call, but also affect calls made from landline operators such as BT and TalkTalk. For years, mobile users have faced extra charges for so-called 'cross-network' calls to friends, family and colleagues who have a different provider . At the moment, these charges add 0.826 pence a minute to the usual cost of calls. However, Ofcom said yesterday that operators must slash them by more than 40 per cent over the next two years. By April 2017, mobile companies will be allowed to only charge 0.475 pence per minute extra. Matthew Howett, a telecoms analyst at Ovum, said: 'This is a good thing for the consumer. The main benefit will be to customers making calls from a fixed line, where fees are stubbornly high\u2026 so it is particularly good for the elderly.' Ofcom research has shown that older customers tend to use landlines much more than younger people. According to official figures, the vast majority of the population \u2013 93 per cent \u2013 owns a mobile, and around three-quarters have both a landline and a mobile. Last year, around 16 per cent of adults in the UK relied solely on their mobile, and did not have a landline at all. Mobile operators have spent years lobbying to keep the mobile termination rate in place, helping to fatten their profits. The rates have been steadily reduced since the 1990s, when they were as high as 25p per minute, as mobile technology became more efficient and costs to the networks fell. However, yesterday the network operators expressed disappointment over Ofcom's decision to cut them further, and issued a veiled threat they could increase other charges to make up for the reduction. Last year, around 16 per cent of adults in the UK relied solely on their mobile, and did not have a landline . A spokesman for EE said: 'The proposed implementation puts at risk future investments and our ability to offer customers the lowest possible prices.' A telecoms source said that mobile phone companies would not be able to offer the same level of service if they do not get as much income from customers. Operators would face a choice to either allow the standards of their network and customer services to slip, or to recoup the money they have lost by increasing charges elsewhere. A spokesman for O2 added: 'There's no such thing as a free lunch. Mobile operators invest billions of pounds in their networks. The cost of handling calls from other operators comes at a cost and needs to be recovered from those operators.' Mr Howett said: 'The charges are based on the old-world of ancient switch networks.

A bookkeeper stole almost \u00a32million from his employers and used some of the money to buy a plot of land in Scotland - complete with an aristocratic title. Julian Kremer, 49, admitted fiddling the books at the estate agency he worked for in Wokingham, Berkshire, and used most of the cash to fund an internet gambling habit, a court heard. Five members of staff at Richard Worth estate agents were made redundant due to the losses while the company fell into financial ruin.

Detectives would face a 28-day time limit which could only be extended under strict rules in the Home Secretary\u2019s shake-up. Her proposals would lead to the biggest reform to police bail in 30 years if the Conservatives win the upcoming General Election. Home Secretary Theresa May pledged to stop police from leaving suspects on bail for months and said the Tories would introduce rules blocking the extension of bail beyond three months unless magistrates approved . Mrs May\u2019s promise comes amid mounting anger that forces are abusing their powers by keeping people in a lengthy legal limbo \u2013 only to decide eventually not to press charges in many cases. There has been an outcry over a string of high-profile cases where celebrities and journalists have been left on bail for long periods, often with strict curbs. Currently there are no restrictions on how long a person can be on police bail. The Tories propose to introduce an initial limit of 28 days. Any decision to re-bail for a total of up to three months would have to be approved by a police officer of superintendent rank or above. Any application to extend pre-charge bail beyond this would have to be approved by a magistrate, said Mrs May. Last year, DJ Paul Gambaccini, 65, told of his \u201812 months of horror and trauma\u2019 at having his name dragged through the mud before being told he would not face historic sex assault charges. Jim Davidson also lashed out at the system after being arrested under Operation Yewtree. The comedian, 61, was kept on bail for eight months before being told he would not face any charges. Mrs May said it was wrong for a person to languish on bail without being charged. \u2018I have been clear it is simply not acceptable for individuals to spend months, and in some cases years, on pre-charge bail with no system of review only for charges never to be brought,\u2019 she added. Under her plan, there would be a presumption to release a person without bail. Mrs May said it was unacceptable that people like DJ Paul Gambaccini (pictured) had been kept on bail for 'months and in some cases years'. He was told after 12 months that he would not face sex assault charges . Mrs May said: \u2018These measures ensure that decisions to release suspects with pre-charge bail conditions are taken only where it is necessary or proportionate.\u2019 But police and prosecutors have warned a limit could hamper complex cases, such as inquiries into fraud or historic sex abuse. Each year, around 303,000 suspects are typically placed on police bail with about 19,600 on bail for more than six months. Police can keep a suspect for 24 hours for questioning after arrest before seeking a further period of detention from a judge. In practice, they often quiz a person then release them on bail to return for interview at a later date.

But the great unspoken background of Jane Austen's world is that both Mr Darcy and Mr Bingley in Pride and Prejudice got rich from the slave trade, says author Joanna Trollope. The novelist, speaking at the Festival of Literature in Dubai, dispelled the myth about Mr Darcy and Mr Bingley being the perfect men and described the 'very dark underbelly' to Austen's books. She said: 'Why does Mr Bingley in Pride and Prejudice have all this leisure to sort of drift between Netherfield and London? The great unspoken background of Jane Austen's world is that both Mr Darcy (pictured, Colin Firth) and Mr Bingley in Pride and Prejudice got rich from the slave trade, says author Joanna Trollope . 'He is a young man with means because of the slave trade. The slave trade is lightly touched upon in several of the novels but not very heavily. 'What built Pemberley? Pemberley was built, one imagines, on proceeds of the coal mines in Derbyshire. What was the life of an 18th century miner like? Not much fun.' Trollope, 71, decided to shatter the illusion surrounding Austen's heroes after being approached by publishers Harper Collins to write an updated version of Sense and Sensibility for the Austen Project in 2013. The series marked the 200-year anniversary of the author's most popular work, Pride and Prejudice.

'The only huge change I had to make was people had to work,' she said at the festival. (on Saturday). 'In her novels, nobody works because the unspoken backdrop was the great commodity of the late 18th and early 19th century was sugar, which is not a million miles away from slavery.

'There is none of that. It's tough stuff and clever women were doomed to a sort of infantilism because there was no career except marriage, which is why the women in her novels sabotage each other so disgracefully.'

King offers Hart's character Darnell Lewis cash to open a new car wash business if he can teach him how to be tough before entering the prison. The film pokes fun at so-called one-percenters as well as the stereotypes of black men, latinos and white supremacists who are all behind bars. Justin Chang of Variety blasted the movie claiming it had 'some of the ugliest gay-panic humour to befoul a studio release in recent memory'. In one scene, King tries to accost a gay man in a public toilet and offers to perform a sex act on him to prepare himself for life in prison. Drew McWeeny of Hitfix.com said the film was 'morally repellent' by playing 'into this idea that gay sex is somehow inherently more disgusting than regular sex'. Before the screening, Hart told people who enjoyed the movie to review it on Twitter afterwards, however, those who hated it should 'go in the middle of the street and kill yourself'. Ferrell said he did not use Twitter and asked people to send him 'handwritten notes ... on nice stationery'.", "summary": "Will Ferrell plays a white financial guru who is jailed for 10 years for fraud .

A Polish man who tried to sell secret nuclear submarine documents he stole from his neighbour's airing cupboard has been jailed for more than four years. Marcin Kostrzewa was sentenced to four-and-a-half years behind bars after a jury at Plymouth Crown Court took less than an hour to find him guilty following a three day trial. The court had heard how Kostrzewa broke into neighbour Shane Spencer's flat and took the restricted files. He had become 'obsessed' with Mr Spencer after finding out he worked with subs. Marcin later stole the paperwork after using English and Polish words to search Google using terms like 'spy games, spies and secret documents'. Kostrzewa then contacted the Polish embassy and tried to sell the information for \u00a350,000 but was trapped in an undercover sting. He had denied committing the burglary between January and April 2014 and claimed he had found the contents in a bin as he was carrying out research for a spy novel. The 31-year-old claims he just wanted to get arrested so he could meet a real MI5 Agent. But jailing him for four and a half years, Recorder John Williams said: 'You are not the bumbling fool you have sought to portray in your evidence. 'In my view you are both calculating and clever. 'You stole and sought to sell documents which you understood to be sufficiently sensitive and no doubt secret to warrant a large amount of money.' He added that the loss of the documents could 'affect military operations' - though the metalworker tried to sell them to a friendly government.

+{"article": "Nazir Afzal (above) has resigned from the Crown Prosecution Service despite being cleared of improper conduct . One of the UK's most senior prosecutors dramatically resigned yesterday despite being cleared of improper conduct. Nazir Afzal, who led the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in North West England, was accused of sending a text message to a defendant. An internal inquiry exonerated the highly experienced lawyer, who was honoured by The Queen in 2005, of any wrongdoing. But he nevertheless handed in his resignation as more senior colleagues insisted his departure is due to an 'on-going drive for efficiency'. The resignation is a direct blow to Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders who has faced criticism for pursing campaign agendas instead of serving the general public. Mr Afzal proved himself to be an outspoken advocate of bringing to justice those accused of the most heinous and sometimes sensitive offences. This included a move to overturn an earlier decision on an Asian Rochdale sex grooming ring that led to a series of convictions. He said that an over-sensitivity to political correctness and 'fear of appearing racist' by 'white professionals' may have stalled justice. More recently he was responsible for the successful conviction of disgraced former BBC presenter Stuart Hall. He also led the prosecutions of Coronation Street actors Bill Roache, who was cleared of rape, and Michael Le Vell, who was also acquitted of child sex abuse. Mr Afzal took up his post in 2011 and led a huge team of about 700 lawyers, legal staff, and administrators. He was responsible for all criminal prosecutions across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and Cumbria. Earlier this week his staff received an email earlier this week saying it had always been his intention to step down in 2015. Mr Afzal led the prosecutions of Coronation Street actors Bill Roache (left), who was cleared of rape, and Michael Le Vell (right), who was also acquitted of child sex abuse . In the four-line email, Mr Afzal said there was 'no secret reason' why he was leaving after 25 years with the CPS. After studying law in Birmingham, Mr Afzal qualified as a solicitor and worked in private practice until he joined the CPS in 1991. He began his CPS career in central London and has prosecuted and advised on many high profile cases. Mr Afzal was awarded an OBE in the Queen's New Years Honours List in 2005 for his public service and involvement with the local community. A CPS spokesman said: 'We are continuing to reduce the number of staff employed across the organisation and Nazir Afzal is leaving the Service as part of this ongoing drive for efficiency. 'This is entirely unrelated to any issue of conduct and we are satisfied that there has been no impropriety on the part of Mr Afzal.'", "summary": "Nazir Afzal led the Crown Prosecution Service in North West England .

A 40-year-old man who was seeking nearly \u00a31million in damages after a fatal head-on collision will not receive any of the money after he was secretly filmed enjoying a family trip to the seaside. Aleksandar Kovacic said he could barely walk and was incapable of returning to his job as a support worker after the crash in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, in March 2010. The aspiring social worker was awarded \u00a397,000 in damages - a fraction of the amount he sought - but is unlikely to see any of it after being ordered to pay back insurers and cover legal fees. A senior judge ruled he had 'exaggerated' his disabilities and tried to 'play-act' his way to a huge payout at London's High Court today. Aspiring social worker Mr Kovacic suffered serious injuries when 68-year-old Norma Wroe drove into the path of his car on the A422 near Newport Pagnell. Mrs Wroe died in the crash. He suffered fractures to both legs, his right arm, a rib and his back, as well as soft tissue damage, and remained in hospital for two months. He also had to undergo further surgery on two occasions after developing infections in his wounds. Mr Kovacic, from Bedford, Bedfordshire, sued Mrs Wroe's estate and her insurers, Aviva, for \u00a3900,000 in damages. Aviva admitted the crash was caused by Mrs Wroe's negligence. In his claim, which was initially supported by clinical experts, Mr Kovacic said he could barely walk, was unable to work and was suffering depression. But Aviva's suspicions were raised and he was placed under surveillance in 2013. Footage shot by private investigators also showed him driving nearly 200 miles on a day out with his family, taking his children to school and climbing in and out of his car with ease. He was also seen walking without a stick and carrying heavy items. However, he did use his stick, and appeared to limp and get in and out of a taxi with difficulty, while attending an appointment with a Harley Street medical expert for the defence. After viewing the videos, which were recorded on nine days over several weeks, Judge Neil Bidder said he was sure Mr Kovacic's description of his disabilities 'simply could not be believed'. All of the experts who had backed Mr Kovacic's case changed their opinions in light of the footage. Aviva had offered to settle his claim for \u00a3350,000, but he insisted on fighting for more in court even after his lawyers withdrew from the case. Mr Kovacic, who represented himself, told the High Court in London that the undercover footage was 'unrepresentative' and did not show him on his 'bad days'.

The new 8 per cent levy - which effectively strips the banks of the benefit of the Government's corporation tax cuts \u2013 will form a key plank of the party's election manifesto. Treasury Secretary Danny Alexander said the tax hike will help the next Government find the \u00a330billion of savings after the election needed to balance the books. The Lib Dem economic spokesman Danny Alexander wants to introduce a new 8 per cent levy on banks . Like the Conservatives, the Lib Dems are committed eliminating the deficit in the public finances by 2017/18. But unlike the Tories - who say they would do it through spending cuts alone - the Lib Dems say they would seek to raise at least \u00a38 billion through extra taxes. The annual levy on banks, which was introduced in 2010, currently brings in around \u00a32.5billion a year. Mr Alexander's proposals are expected to take that up to \u00a33.5billion a year. A 'mansion tax' on homes worth over \u00a32million will raise an extra \u00a31.5billion, and a crackdown on tax avoidance could save \u00a36billion, the Lib Dems claim. The Lib Dem economic spokesman said: 'Failings in the banking system were a major factor in the great crash of 2008. 'That's why we have always insisted that the banks help fund repairing the economy. 'To that end, we introduced the Bank Levy which is on track to raise \u00a38billion in this Parliament. 'With the final stage of deficit reduction requiring around \u00a330billion of savings, it would be totally wrong for all of that to be found from cuts to public services as the Conservatives propose. 'Liberal Democrats believe that we must balance the books and do so fairly, so it is only right to reconsider whether banks are making a fair contribution to deficit reduction. 'This tax would remain in place until that job is complete.' The Tories and Lib Dems are committed eliminating the deficit in the public finances by 2017/18. But the Lib Dems want to raise at least \u00a38 billion through extra taxes, while George Osborne (pictured) insists it can be achieved through spending cuts alone .

+{"article": "Baby girls from well-off districts can expect to enjoy good health for nearly 20 years longer than those in the poorest towns and suburbs, according to an official analysis. It found that a newborn girl in one of the top 10 per cent of wealthy areas will live 71.3 years before her life is limited by chronic illness or disability. But a girl born in one of the bottom 10 per cent of the most deprived areas can expect only 52.4 years of life in good health. Lottery: Babies born living in the top 10 per cent of wealthy areas can expect to live up to 20 years longer without disability or chronic illness, than those in poorer areas. Baby girls in wealthy areas can expect to live healthy lives the longest . The difference means the well-off girl is likely to have a healthy life more than a third longer than that of a girl from a poor district. The figures for boys are highly similar, according to the findings charted by the Office for National Statistics. They provoked protests from poverty pressure groups, which compared health inequality in Britain with health levels in Third World countries, and complained that the wealth gap is now dragging down the health of the entire British population. World Health Organisation figures on healthy life expectancy appear to show that men and women in Rwanda can expect to live healthily to 55 and 56 respectively. The same figures, from the Global Health Observatory Data Repository, show men and women in Romania will enjoy good health to 63 and 69, while those in Russia can expect to live to 57 and 66 without serious health issues. Poor health: Baby boys born in the most deprived areas of Britain have the worst prospects having just 52.2 years of healthy living . The ONS findings for the UK say that healthy life expectancy is at its worst in the very poorest areas of the country \u2013 usually those with high levels of worklessness, benefit dependency and alcohol, tobacco and drug consumption \u2013 and that for four fifths of the population the health gap between the best off and the rest is much less marked. The figures were calculated from the ONS Annual Population Survey which checks on the lives of 320,000 people a year. For men, it said that boys born in the most deprived suburbs can expect 52.2 years of good health, compared to 70.5 years for those born in the best-off areas. It said that if the figures were adjusted by measures designed to take into account income across the population rather than just in extremely poor or rich districts, the gaps were wider \u2013 19.5 years for women as opposed to 18.9, and 19.1 years for men as opposed to 18.3. The ONS figures showed that, above the poorest fifth of areas, newborn girls can all expect almost 60 years of healthy life or more, and boys more than 58 years. Alison Garnham, chief executive of Child Poverty Action Group, said: \u2018The statistics lay bare", "summary": "Girls born in wealthiest areas will live over 70 years before chronic illness .

The first known works by one of Britain's finest composers, Sir Hubert Parry, who wrote the music for Jerusalem, are being sold at auction. The 70 documents, expected to fetch up to \u00a350,000, represent Parry's earliest surviving work and include pieces written when he was an Eton schoolboy and at Oxford. Many of the pieces have never been played in public, but a premiere before the Prince of Wales, a champion of Parry's music, is to take place in May. Parry is considered one of the country's most influential musicians and a key architect of the 19th Century English Musical Renaissance. As well as Jersualem, he wrote many famous settings for English hymns, including Repton, a well-known tune for Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind. Parry's setting of the anthem I Was Glad has been played at the Coronations of every Monarch since Edward VII and was performed at the Westminster Abbey wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana in 1981. In a BBC4 documentary about Parry's music, Charles said: 'It gives you tingles up the spine and tears in your eyes.' Parry's version of The Magnificat And Nunc Dimittis In D, and an anthem entitled O Sing Unto The Lord, are considered the best of the cache and will be sung for the first time by the choir at Gloucester Cathedral. Leading institutions and potential buyers, including Prince Charles, have been sent details of the auction at Chorley's, Gloucester, on May 19. It is an appropriate venue because Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848-1918) grew up just two miles from Gloucester, where he learned to play the organ. Leading institutions and potential buyers, including Prince Charles, have been sent details of the auction at Chorley's, Gloucester, on May 19 . Adrian Partington, the cathedral's director of music, who examined all the manuscripts and chose the two pieces for the premiere, said: 'The pieces are beautifully well-written for his age and show a talented young composer, but they are not exceptional. I think he was writing stuff for his chums to perform at Eton and Oxford and he did it in a hurry. 'They were probably only performed informally around the piano and I suspect he just forgot about them, which is why they have been gathering dust for all these years. 'But the seeds of a great composition like Jerusalem can be found in this student work. These are beautifully shaped tunes, logical harmony and very exact but imaginative setting of the words.' Some are incomplete or jottings, but there are some important compositions which until recently were kept in storage by one of Parry's distant relatives. In later life, Parry went on to teach and later run the Royal College of Music in London, which has an archive of his work.

A statement on behalf of the driver from Bus Association Victoria says the service collected the girl from her home however upon dropping her to kindergarten the driver 'couldn't locate the child.' He says he then parked at the bus depot and performed a routine check of the vehicle before leaving at approximately 9am. The four-year-old should have been dropped to Warracknabeal Memorial Kindergarten on Tuesday morning . The girl's parents only learnt of her absence upon arriving at the school to collect her at about 1:30pm Tuesday afternoon. Unable to find their daughter they contacted the bus company and the police. The driver was contacted by the bus company and was the first to the scene. He says he found the child in the bus 'in good spirits and well'. 'This is a terribly unfortunately circumstance.

Noah Krespanis was found unconscious and was unable to be revived . 'The little girl either fell asleep at the back or just slipped down between the seats and unfortunately she was left in the bus for a few hours,' he said. 'It's a sad case, but if anything it's a reasonable outcome for what could have been a drastic outcome.' This comes less than two weeks from when a 22-month-old boy was found dead after being left inside a hot car at Kyneton, just north of Melbourne.

Golden Globe-winning producer J Todd Harris is said to already be on board, and the film has commitments from Emily Watson, Sir Ben and Lily Collins. Scroll down for video . Actors Sir Ben Kingsley and Emily Watson are among stars to have signed up to the film that has been reportedly co-written by the Cage spokesman . Last night The Mail was unable to contact representatives of the stars, who are believed to have made the commitment to the movie long before the controversy surrounding Cage. The film, which is supported by civil rights group Liberty, is thought to have been co-written by former terror suspect and Cage spokesman Cerie Bullivant. He spent two years under a control order before eventually being exonerated, and the film is believed to be loosely based on his own experiences. But Mr Bullivant\u2019s involvement became an embarrassment for the movie after the unmasking of Mohammed Emwazi as Jihadi John.

UK judges are on an \u2018expansionist binge\u2019 which has led them to implementing human rights laws made in Strasbourg on crucial national security issues including deporting terror suspects and control orders.

Battle: Muslim cleric Abu Qatada, described as Al Qaeda\u2019s spokesman in Britain, was finally returned home in 2013 after a 12-year legal battle which cost taxpayers millions . The report, published today FRI, blasts Britain\u2019s left-leaning judiciary for being \u2018too willing\u2019 to apply rulings from the European Court of Human RIghts in the UK, rather than simply taking them into account. Barrister Michael Arnheim, who wrote the study The Problem With Human Rights Law, said the situation was hampering the Government\u2019s ability to protect our borders by fighting terrorism and illegal immigration \u2013 putting innocent lives at risk. In one high-profile case, the Court of Appeal ruled in 2008 that deporting hate preacher Abu Qatada would breach his human rights, because evidence to be used against him on trial in Jordan may have been obtained through torture. The firebrand Muslim cleric, described as Al Qaeda\u2019s spokesman in Britain and who spouted bile on the streets on London, was finally returned home in 2013 after a 12-year legal battle which cost taxpayers millions of pounds. Meanwhile, British judges have been blasted for weakening now-defunct control orders and the replacement Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (Tpims) which were introduced to impose rigid restrictions on terror suspects who could not be prosecuted or deported. It fuelled concern that the judiciary was chiselling away at measures to protect the UK from jihadists. 'Too willing': British judges have been accused of being too willing to apply rulings from EU courts in the UK, rather than taking them into account . There has also been outrage over cases in which criminals have avoided deportation by pleading that their removal would breach the family life clause of the European Convention on Human Rights. Among them was Aso Mohammed Ibrahim, a failed asylum seeker who ran down and killed 12-year-old Amy Houston - and fled the scene - while disqualified from driving. A judge subsequently allowed him to remain here because he had two children with a British woman. In his report, Mr Arnheim said: \u2018The domestic courts are on an expansionist binge, which has never been checked by the government or parliament. \u2018Continued failure to check this development will result not only in a serious weakening of national defences against terrorism and illegal immigration, but will also amount to a denial of democracy. \u2018National security and the public interest actually refer", "summary": "Think tank says meddling in Parliamentary policy is denial of democracy .

But despite being called a \u2018Potentially Hazardous Asteroid\u2019 (PHA) by Nasa, experts are telling people not to be worried. The huge rock, called 2014 YB35, will sail past the planet tomorrow morning at a distance so large it it is 11.7 times further than the distance between Earth and the moon. Scroll down for video . Asteroid 2014 YB35 will pass 2.8 million miles from Earth tomorrow (artist's impression shown). It was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona. The asteroid is estimated to be 1,640ft-wider (500 metres) which would be large enough to cause devastation - but it will not hit Earth . And while this event will occur without incident, the experts added it is a reminder of how many dangerous space rocks there are in our planet\u2019s vicinity. The asteroid is estimated to be about 1,640ft (500 metres) wide which, if it hit Earth, would be large enough to cause widespread devastation - although there is no chance of this happening. However, it is estimated that there are about 25,000 near-Earth objects (NEOs) larger than 460ft (140 metres), bodies that come close to Earth but don't necessarily hit our planet. And there are also an estimated 1,000 NEOs larger than 3,280ft (one kilometre), highlighting the need to keep track of these space rocks. On average, Earth is hit by a football pitch-sized rock every 5,000 years, and a civilisation-ending asteroid every one million years, according to Nasa's Near-Earth Object Program. Last year, the privately-funded B612 Foundation discovered that Earth is up to 10 times more likely to be hit than previously thought. While the majority of the impacts occur either high up in the atmosphere, or in unpopulated areas including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the danger was still ever-present. The findings were based on information released from the Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation. This operates a network of sensors that monitor Earth around the clock listening for the infrasound signatures of nuclear detonations. But what these sensors found were not nuclear explosions, but rather asteroid impacts on a huge scale. Between 2000 and 2013 the network detected 26 explosions on Earth ranging in energy from one to 600 kilotons - all caused by asteroid impacts. Relative to Earth, asteroid 2014 YB35 is travelling at 23,000 mph (37,000 km/h), and its closest approach tomorrow will be 2,779,956 miles (4,473,907km). It was first discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona in December 2014, and will make an even closer, but still safe, approach in 2033 - 2,069,166 miles (3,330,000km). Nasa lists 2014 YB35 as a \u2018Potentially Hazardous Asteroid\u2019 (PHA) but, as yet, there is no chance of an impact scheduled for any point in future. \u2018This \u201cpotential\u201d to make close Earth approaches does not mean a PHA will impact the Earth,\u2019 said Nasa. \u2018It only means there is a possibility for such a threat.

+{"article": "The Premier League can easily accommodate an initiative to limit away fans tickets at \u00a320 to protect the 'spectacle' of their product, according to the chief executive of the Football Supporters' Federation Kevin Miles. Chairmen of English football's 20 elite clubs met in central London on Wednesday for the first time since the bumper new \u00a35.14billion television broadcasting deal was announced. The FSF presented an open letter to the chairmen, which was co-signed by fan groups from every Premier League club, detailing what it believes are key elements to such as the cost of attending live matches, facilities for away fans, more supporter engagement as well a fairer distribution of football's wealth throughout the domestic game and grassroots. Football Supporters' Federation campaigners demonstrate outside the meeting of Premier League chairmen . Ticket prices have long been a thorny issue within the modern game, particularly for the away supporters, who often feel they are not being given a fair price especially those of the leading clubs. A recent survey by the FSF showed the likes of Arsenal's top price for visiting supporters was \u00a364, QPR charged \u00a355 while Sunderland were cheapest at \u00a339. Crystal Palace charged both home and away fans \u00a340 at Selhurst Park. FSF chief executive Miles believes making such a gesture would not only show a level of good will to paying customers, but also maintain the unique live atmosphere which makes the Premier League such an attractive proposition. The FSF's Chief Executive, Kevin Miles, speaks during the 'Share TV Wealth' demonstration . 'The uplift on domestic television rights alone, not including the overseas deal, is the equivalent of more than \u00a340 for every single ticket sold at each game over the three years, so that gives you an idea of how much manoeuvre the clubs have got - and with that much money going into the game, how they could afford to treat people a lot better,' Miles said. 'The Premier League has already set one or two precedents, there are already rules to benefit away fans, like how many seats they have to allocate in the stadium and how they cannot charge away fans more than the home fans for similar accommodation. 'They also ring-fence money via the \"Away Fans Initiative\" to be invested into increasing numbers of away fans. 'What we are proposing out of this huge increase in money is they increase the amount of money involved.' The FSF have argued that away fans should get in to Premier League games for \u00a320 pounds at every ground . Miles continued: 'Our \"Twenty's Plenty\" idea to be implemented, we believe would cost the clubs around \u00a320million a season, which is \u00a31million per club, then talk to the fans about how they want that money used, it could make a huge difference to the experience of away support. 'They could make this contribution easily and relatively cheaply, to guarantee the atmosphere with participation of away fans to keep their numbers up, which have declined over the last 10 years and that is something which needs to be addressed.'", "summary": "Football Supporters' Federation calls on Premier League to regulate prices .

A council manager who retired from her \u00a3160,000-a-year job after the deaths of four children only to take a new social services job has been sacked after a fresh scandal, MailOnline can reveal today. Elaine McHale lost her \u00a3110,000-a-year job at Leicester City Council after her team failed to allocate social workers to look after hundreds of vulnerable children. Leicester's Labour mayor Sir Peter Soulsby has said Ms McHale was sacked after her 'botched review' caused her social services department to 'fall apart', which could have put children in the city at risk. But MailOnline can reveal that she moved to Leicester despite retiring from her \u00a3159,346-a-year job (total remuneration including pension contribution) at Wakefield Borough Council in 2012 as it emerged that the deaths of four children were being investigated. One of the serious case reviews probed by child protection experts was the murder of five-year-old Haroon Bhatti by his father Pazeer Ahmed, who burnt then beat his son to death. Ms McHale announced she was retiring from her job as director for family services a day after Ahmed was jailed for life, the council said the timing was coincidental. Another of the reviews considered whether the authorities could have stopped the murder of eight-week-old Grace Barnes, who had her skull crushed by her father Richard in November 2011 after getting drunk on beer, whisky and vodka. Wakefield Council insisted Ms McHale's retirement had been spoken about for 'some time' before the four serious case reviews were announced. But instead of retiring completely she then moved to Leicester City Council as Strategic Director Adult Social Care and Health earning between \u00a3110,000 and \u00a3115,000-a-year until her departure on Friday. Revealing her sacking, Sir Peter Soulsby said there had been a 'complete failure' to inform the council's leadership about the scandal, which meant Elaine McHale was dismissed with immediate effect. He added that her management meant 'children have potentially been put at risk and this cannot be tolerated'. Cases: Mrs McHale retired from Wakefield Council in the wake of four serious case reviews, including Pazeer Ahmed's (left) murder of his child Haroon Bhatti and Richard Barnes' murder of his baby Grace (right) Ms McHale was sacked with cabinet member Vi Dempster after the council was presented with a draft report of a recent Ofsted inspection of its social services department. Inspectors found that a poorly-managed review of front-line social workers carried out in the summer of 2014 by Ms McHale 'resulted in more than 30 leaving the authority during which time vulnerable children were put at risk by not being allocated the social workers they needed', the council said today.

Dressing up and taking your partner\u2019s hand to dance \u00e0 deux is catching on all over again, thanks to the huge success of the TV dance show. \u2018Learning dance steps allows couples to enjoy the closeness of each other and creates a sense of trust as well as intimacy,\u2019 says Kristina, who has partnered celebrities from newscaster John Sergeant to pop singer Simon Webbe on the TV show. \u2018Some therapists suggest it as a form of marriage counselling. It allows men to lead and feel in charge again, and women to feel they are being taken care of by their partner. \u2018Plus it releases endorphins as your heart rate goes up.\u2019 And so I found myself relearning the essential 12 steps of salsa for the first time since I did the cha-cha-cha at Victor Sylvester\u2019s Saturday morning ballroom classes for children, decades ago. Dancing was in my blood: my father danced his teens and 20s away and became an eight-times ballroom dancing champion. Kristina is giving David and me a taste of the weekend workshops she\u2019s running at Champneys health spa over the next few months. But I find myself wondering how her students are going to cope with a class lasting three-quarters of an hour when we are knocked out after ten minutes of practice. \u2018I feel like a robot,\u2019 grumbles David, who has zero ballroom experience but bucks up when Kristina puts Santana on the sound system. He is musical \u2013 playing guitar \u2013 but his sense of rhythm does not extend to his feet, which Kristina says is surprisingly common. As for me, although I spent two years of my teens jiving in Soho discos, learning specific steps 40 years on is a discipline I\u2019m finding taxing. It\u2019s a more demanding workout, in fact, than anything I did on a brain-improvement programme I recently attended. \u2018You need to focus absolutely,\u2019 explains Kristina, who says the extreme attention needed to learn a sequence is good for improving mood as well as fitness. \u2018When I started partnering Simon he was extremely down, but felt the dancing had a very positive effect. \u2018Like yoga, ballroom dancing takes you out of yourself; you can\u2019t think of anything else while you\u2019re practising, so it takes you away from your everyday worries.\u2019 Masterclass: Anthea dances with Kristina as David", "summary": "Strictly Come Dancing\u2019s Kristina Rihanoff says learning dance steps creates sense of trust as well as intimacy between couples .

The patient's status was changed from serious to critical condition, meaning the person's condition has apparently worsened. The patient is being treated at the National Institutes of Health's hospital near Washington, D.C. The patient was flown in isolation from Sierra Leone on a chartered plane last week and arrived early on Friday morning. The patient's name, age and gender have not been released. Scroll down for video . A health care worker prepares a colleague's Ebola virus protective gear at a clinic operated by the International Medical Corps in Makeni, Sierra Leone. Five people in the U.S. are now being monitored after being exposed to Ebola . The person is a clinician working with Partners in Health, a Boston-based nonprofit organization. The group has been treating patients in Liberia and Sierra Leone since November. This came as a second American health care worker who was possibly exposed to Ebola has been moved to Nebraska Medicine's biocontainment unit after a change in symptoms, the hospital said on Monday. The worker was one of four monitored in Nebraska after exposure to another American who tested positive for Ebola. The person who was moved has not tested positive for the virus, the hospital said. None of the patients has been identified. The hospital said it would receive a fifth person who was part of the initial exposure in Sierra Leone later on Monday. The latest NIH patient is the 11th person with Ebola to be treated in the U.S. Two patients in the U.S. have died: a man treated in Dallas after contracting the virus in Africa and a doctor evacuated from Africa to Nebraska when he was already critically ill. The man in Dallas had contracted the virus in his native Liberia. He transmitted the disease to two nurses, resulting in widespread concern in the U.S., with questions raised about emergency department screening of patients, monitoring of ill travelers from Africa and even disputes over the disposal of potentially infectious waste from hospitals. The World Health Organization has estimated the virus has killed more than 10,000 people, mostly in the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The current outbreak is the largest ever for the disease. While deaths have slowed dramatically in recent months, the virus appears stubbornly entrenched in parts of Guinea and Sierra Leone. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman said that besides the patient at NIH, there are 11 other Partners in Health workers being brought to the United States for monitoring. That includes four going to Atlanta to be near Emory University Hospital; one arrived Friday. On Saturday, four health care workers arrived at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, and three arrived in the Washington area on Sunday to be near the NIH campus in Bethesda.

But according to police documents, the 7-year-old girl said her mother told her to 'hide' in the trash bin after the two exited the popular King Spa and Sauna on Royal Lane. Officers found the little girl 10 hours later after being flagged down by citizens who saw her looking filthy and barefoot. When she was interviewed by police, Miss Carroll said she had been drinking at the spa and at around 10pm stepped out to 'clear her head,' leaving her daughter inside with an acquaintance, reported Dallas Morning News.

Carlisle still bears the facial scars from his December 22 suicide attempt in a crash which left him in a coma until mid-January. The former Professional Footballers' Association chairman spoke clearly as he admitted the charges from the dock at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in north London today. Deputy District Judge Margaret Dodds told Carlisle he would 'inevitably' be disqualified when he next appears at the same court for sentencing on May 14. She also ordered that reports be made in the case after being told of Carlisle's medical situation. The court heard he was spotted by police 'swerving' his Mercedes and nearly hitting another vehicle on Pentonville Road, north London, on December 20 at about 7am. Prosecutor Zahid Hussain said the car was seen 'swerving in the lane, to the pavement on the nearside, almost mounting the pavement' and that the tyres were 'grinding on the curb'. When the officers stopped and spoke to Carlisle 'alcohol was smelled on his breath', Mr Hussain added. The court was told that Carlisle did not blow long enough in the breathalyser when he was tested at the roadside to provide an adequate sample. Carlisle later said he fell into a spiral of decline after his contract as a TV football pundit was cancelled . He was taken to Islington police station but would not co-operate and said: 'Sergeant, I would like to speak to my counsel first.'

Since beating Saturday's opponents Dundee United in the 1997-98 final, the Parkhead club have won it a further four times. To supporters of smaller, provincial clubs, that would be a form of nirvana. A glorious period of outstanding achievement. Ronny Deila is determined to get his hands on the League Cup after Sunday's final against Dundee United . To Celtic, it\u2019s a source of mild failure. In the same period the club has captured twice as many league titles. And six Scottish Cups The clubs previous two managers, Tony Mowbray and Neil Lennon, didn\u2019t win the League Cup at all and Lennon\u2019s record in cups was a source of occasional unrest. For Ronny Deila, then, the first trophy of his Celtic tenure would be hugely significant. \u2018It is something we would remember for the rest of our lives,\u2019 said the Norwegian. \u2018Cup finals are big. They are big in Norway and in Scotland and England. This tradition is important.\u2019 Bold and forthright, Deila has publicly pledged to win a Treble. Managers usually play down talk of clean sweeps and banish the very words from their vocabulary. A fatalistic, superstitious streak runs through Scottish football, but Deila isn\u2019t having it. Far from piling pressure on himself or his players, he believes it sets a target to strive for. Celtic expect to win all three domestic trophies every season. Saying so should be no cause for palpitations. \u2018I am very calm,\u2019 said Deila with a grin. \u2018Maybe too much. Hopefully it will come on Sunday - but we have so many big matches you get used to it. \u2018If this had been a small club, the cup final would be totally crazy. It would be all: \u201cWho is going to sit here and what are we going to do with the supporters?\u201d But this club has done it so many times, so it\u2019s very calm. \u2018We just prepare for what\u2019s ahead of us and I think we can feel in the atmosphere of the players there is a big game coming up. Again, we can reach one of our targets and that\u2019s important.\u2019 Deila issues instructions to his players during the recent Scottish Cup quarter-final draw with Dundee United . In one sense he is correct. Celtic have been in many cup finals, too many to mention. But he hasn\u2019t. \u2018In 2010, Stromsgodset beat a First Division team in the final,\u2019 he recalled. \u2018I played in 2001 and won, then lost one in 2002. The cup final is big in Norway, there is only one cup and, like the FA Cup, it\u2019s the last game of the season and is always sold out. \u2018I have seen crazy things at the cup final. Things like: \u201cWho is going to sit beside the King?\u201d That\u2019s how it is with small clubs. Not here.\u2019 He believes Celtic are favourites to win because they have the bigger squad.

Named the Princie Diamond, the pink gem 'is one the rarest, perhaps most famous and illustrious pink diamonds in the world,' according to the complaint filed in Manhattan supreme court. Scroll down for video . Rare: The Princie Diamond that surfaced in 2013 to fetch $40million at auction has fueled a feud among relatives of a late Italian senator as his son claims the stone was stolen by a backstabbing step-sibling . According to Christie's website, the diamond received the name after being purchased at auction by jewelers Van Cleef & Arpels, who named it in honor of the 14-year-old Prince of Baroda, son of Maharani Sita Devi. The gem had been passed down through generations of Indian rulers before landing in the possession of Mir Osman Ali Khan of Hyderabad, who eventually sold it through Southeby's. The jewel came into Angiolillo's family's possession when his father, Renato Angiolillo, the founder of Italian newspaper Il Tempo, purchased the stone in 1961, the New York Post reports. Having just wed his second wife, Maria Girani, Renato made a gift of the diamond - one that carried a caveat. Renato's new bride would 'not have unfettered access to' her husband's collection of precious stones, according to the complaint. The arrangement would last up until the newspaper magnate's death in 1973, when Amedeo cut a deal with his step-mother that allowed her to continue wearing the diamond, the lawsuit states. Prized possession: The jewel came into Angiolillo's family's possession when Renato Angiolillo (pictured), the founder of Italian newspaper Il Tempo, purchased the stone in 1961 . High society: Renato Angiolillo (right) had a taste for precious stones, and was reported to have bought the diamond in Paris after losing big at the Monte Carlo casino . The younger Angiolillo agreed to let Girani hold onto the diamond 'because she was quite active and influential in Italian politics and sponsored political, social and business meetings at her home,' a gift Renato bequeathed her in his will. 'Girani had a good relationship with her husband\u2019s children and grandchildren, confirming on several occasions that the gems in her possession, including the Princie Diamond, belonged to them by inheritance, and that they would be returned to them after her death,' according to documents filed. Yet when Girani, too, passed away in 2009 and her husband's heirs came looking for the precious stone, they say it wasn't among her belongings. Pedigree: The Princie Diamond was once owned by a succession of Indian rulers, the last of which was Mir Osman Ali Khan of Hyderabad, who sold it through Southeby's .

Large gatherings were also seen in the capital Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and the southern city of Porto Alegre. Rousseff didn't appear in public, but government ministers held a nationally televised press conference in which they said they would introduce anti-corruption measures in Congress, action the president promised during her campaign for re-election in October. 'We are here to express our indignation with the government-sponsored corruption and thieving, and to demand Dilma's impeachment,' said Andre Menezes, 35, protesting on Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo. 'She may have not been directly involved in the corruption at Petrobras, but she certainly knew about it, and for me that makes her just as guilty and justifies her ouster,' he added.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has been convicted of unlawfully accepting money from a U.S. supporter in a retrial of corruption charges. The 69-year-old accepted around \u00a3104,000 ($153,950) from Morris Talansky while he was a cabinet minister, Jerusalem District Court heard. He could now be given five years in prison - in addition to a six-year sentence he received in 2014 for a separate bribery conviction. His lawyers said they are likely to appeal the latest ruling. Following the verdict Uri Korev, prosecuting, said: 'His behaviour constitutes a breach of trust which harms the public, harms morality and harms the public's trust in how he behaved corruptly.' Olmert gave former office manager Shula Zaken part of the money in exchange for loyalty as well as using some for personal use without reporting it, the judges concluded. He was convicted of illicitly receiving money, fraud and breach of trust. Eyal Rozovsky, Olmert's lawyer, said their legal team was 'of course very disappointed' by the ruling. Olmert resigned in early 2009 amid corruption allegations. He was originally acquitted in 2012 of a series of charges including accepting cash-stuffed envelopes from Talansky while he was mayor of Jerusalem. He received around \u00a3406,000 ($600,000) from the U.S. businessman but there was no evidence the money had been used for unlawful person reasons or illegal campaign financing, the court said. At the time Olmert was convicted on a lesser charge of breach of trust after steering job appointments and contracts to clients of a business partner. Olmert gave former office manager Shula Zaken part of the money in exchange for loyalty as well as using some for personal use, the judges concluded. A retrial was organised after Zaken became a state witness, offering diary entries and tape recordings of conversations with Olmert about illicitly receiving cash. In a separate trial in March 2014 Olmert was convicted of bribery and was sentenced to six years in prison. He appealed and has been allowed to stay out of jail until a verdict is delivered. The judges must now decide if Olmert should serve additional prison time for today's conviction or whether his six-year sentence is enough for both offences, legal expert Emanuel Gross said.

Alaska Airlines flight attendant Brandy Hollenbeck's day was going like any other on the flight from Seattle to Juneau when the surprise moment unfolded. As she tended to the passengers, a familiar voice came over the tannoy as her boyfriend Eric Greener began to detail the moment the two first met. It was the perfect way to propose for pilot Eric Greener to his flight attendant girlfriend Brand Hollenbeck . Yet seemingly oblivious to this and focused on her job, Brandy continued her duties, pouring out coffee to the passengers. The Ravn Alaska pilot had sneaked onto the plane unbeknown to Ms Hollenbeck, and waited in the flight deck jump seat to spring his special surprise.

David Cameron revealed he has lost out to comedian David Walliams in the battle to be Samantha Cameron's favourite David .

Obama was seen today wearing the hefty item - a Fitbit Surge device - as he walked around D.C. and met with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, and later lunched with congressmen on Capitol Hill. Scroll down for video . New accessory: Obama sported the watch at a meeting today with Prime Minister Enda Kenny of Ireland . Check it: Obama has recently said that he was considering getting a Fitbit, or its rival the Apple watch . Device: The Fitbit Surge, pictured above in publicity photos, monitors heart rate, sleep and even the location of those that wear it . The Fitbit surge is an advanced piece of wearable technology that constantly monitors the body of the person wearing it. It uses LED sensors to measure heart rate, and can function as a calorie counter and GPS device. It also tells the time. The Surge model is the largest and most sophisticated Fitbit model, and sells for around $250. Obama has previous expressed his interest in emergent 'wearable' technology. In a February interview with Re/code, he seemed torn between getting a Fitbit and an Apple watch. Testing it out: Obama . Suiting up: Obama was pictured earlier today with the watch while getting dressed . He said: 'I don\u2019t have a Fitbit yet, but I work out hard. Word is these Apple Watches might be a good companion for my workouts. So I\u2019m gonna see, I\u2019m gonna test it out.' The testing had evidently begun by Tuesday, when Obama prominently wore the device for his public engagements. Fitbit enthusiasts are encouraged to even wear their device to sleep, where it collects data while the subject is unconscious, and can wake them up with silent, vibrating alarms. One feature the President may be particularly keen on is that the device is programmable to have a golf mode. Fitbits are set up to communicate with mobile devices regularly to store the data they collect - however the President is only allowed a Blackberry because of security concerns, which is incompatible with his new toy. Both the White House and Fitbit have yet to respond to requests for comment.", "summary": "President wore $250 body-monitoring device around Washington, D.C.

The so-called \u2018health tourism gap\u2019 between the amount the NHS collects from EU patients and the total hospitals on the continent receive from Britain has soared to almost \u00a3700million. It means the UK is now paying out \u00a315 for the healthcare costs of Britons who fall ill abroad for every \u00a31 it gets back for the NHS treatment of European visitors. The Prime Minister and Health Secretary have pledged to introduce tough new measures to recoup an extra \u00a3500million from foreigners annually by 2017/18. Both GPs and hospitals will be given incentives to identify non-British users of the NHS and payment procedures will be made easier. However, the latest Department of Health statistics indicate there is a long way to go. Released following a Freedom of Information request, they show that in 2013/14, British taxpayers handed \u00a3749.8million to European governments to pay for the care of UK citizens abroad. This has risen by \u00a3100million from \u00a3649.3million just a year before. But in the same period, the NHS managed to collect only \u00a350.3million from European countries to pay for the care of their citizens who needed treatment here. This is an increase on the \u00a332million total the year before \u2013 but the number is still dwarfed by money going the other way. Ministers believe part of the problem is that hospitals do not ask enough questions to identify patients who should be paying for treatment. Figures which emerged at the weekend show the NHS is still chasing at least \u00a362million of unpaid bills for foreigners\u2019 care. One London hospital trust alone \u2013 King\u2019s College \u2013 is owed almost \u00a318million from overseas patients. One single patient at a different trust racked up an unpaid bill of more than \u00a3420,000. Others owe more than \u00a3100,000 for treatments including dialysis, bone marrow transplant and chemotherapy, according to The Sunday Times. Health minister Dan Poulter was even photographed with a new mother from Zimbabwe who is still being pursued for a \u00a33,000 bill. Two years ago, cancer specialist Professor J Meirion Thomas warned many foreigners were travelling to Britain for expensive treatment and then leaving without paying. He said the NHS was also becoming the \u2018world\u2019s maternity wing\u2019. Last night Andrew Bridgen, Tory MP for North West Leicestershire, said: \u2018We\u2019re fortunate to have one of the only truly free at the point of need health services in the world. \u2018But we are not the International Health Service, it\u2019s the National Health Service.

A woman was forced to jump into a canal to escape a dangerous serial sex attacker who threatened to kill her - but he will not serve a day for the crime. Ryan Lockyer, 22, of Reading, Berkshire, was jailed for six years for the 'terrifying' attack, which left his 31-year-old victim afraid to go out alone. Reading Crown Court heard the incident took place less than 18 months after Lockyer was released early from prison for an earlier series of sex attacks. Lockyer stalked his victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, as she walked home from work on October 7, 2014. As she passed through a nature reserve near Fobney Lock in Reading, Berkshire, at around 3.45pm, the defendant began following her. When she noticed him he started to run towards her shouting: 'I have a knife and I will kill you.' Prosecutor Walton Hornsby said Lockyer, who was brandishing a 10cms long knife, grabbed the woman and told her: 'I will kill you if you don't do what I want you to do.' Mr Hornsby said: 'She thought the only way to get away from him was to jump in the river.' The woman then told Lockyer she would do whatever he wanted, which appeared to take him by surprise and gave her the chance to slip free from his grasp and jump into the canal. Lockyer immediately ran off but the victim remained in the water for some time, scared he was still in the area. The victim eventually returned home and reported the incident to police the following day, describing her attacker as looking like an actor from BBC drama The Tudors. Lockyer was arrested after being picked out of an identity parade on October 10 and he was charged the next day. He gave a no comment during his interview but at a court hearing on January 7 he admitted a charge of making threats to kill, committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence and threatening with a bladed article. Reading Crown Court (pictured) heard Lockyer carried out the attack less than 18 months after being released early from prison for an earlier series of sex attacks . In a victim impact statement the woman described how she now takes the bus everywhere rather than walking alone and sees a potential attacker in every man she encounters. After his arrest Lockyer was recalled to prison to serve the rest of his previous licence period. That sentence related to a hearing at Oxford Crown Court in 2011 when, aged 18 years, Lockyer was jailed for four years with a three-year licence for sexual assault, three counts of sexual activity with a child and causing actual bodily harm.

The man known only as Stuart Mc called the video: \u2018Virgin Australia \u2013 A Disgrace' and filmed a dirty seat, chewing gum, dirt and paper littered around flight VA 868 from SYD to MEL. Despite the obvious filth surrounding the man's seat, a spokesperson for Virgin Australia told Daily Mail Australia that the airline is committed to providing flyers with a clean environment and will be looking further into the circumstances surrounding the man's flight. What looks like a bolt is lying down the side of a seat along side some chewing gum . 'Virgin Australia prides itself on delivering a superior customer experience which includes maintaining a high standard of cleanliness on board our aircraft,' the spokesperson said. 'This example is clearly not up to that standard and we are investigating as a matter of priority.' However it was definitely a warts and all video with filthy aisles and seats the first thing you see. The disgruntled man made his opinions clear during the video, which he uploaded to YouTube, claiming he would prefer if the carrier spend more time on their standards than promoting cheap fares. 'And they want us to believe Tiger is the discount carrier.... this is the seat I was allocated this afternoon on VA 868 SYD to MEL.

It's clear that the seats and down the side of them had not been cleaned for quite a while. Even the arm rests were dirty. It was a gross rather than great experience. Not that it was the only airline to be a loser in the cleanliness stakes. After splashing out up to \u00a39,000 on first class flights on British Airways from Gatwick to the Caribbean, on what was supposed to be a 'trip of a lifetime', TV news presenter Owen Thomas was horrified to find dirt and grime caked around his first class seat. Dust, detritus and hairs can be clearly seen in an other shot . The arm rest of the seat has obviously not been washed for a while . Videoing the evidence, the former BBC anchorman posted the evidence on Twitter, dubbing the service 'Filth Class'. Narrating the short 30-second video, the presenter explains: 'So this is BA first class and it is abs filthy. You see the marks on here, most of these you can just actually scrape off.

+{"article": "With 60 years of managerial experience between them, Louis van Gaal and Arsene Wenger have more big match experience than most coaches still involved in European football. They have, as they saying goes, forgotten more about the game than many people will ever know. Games like this, however, still throw up unique questions and challenges, both before and during play, and on Monday night he two men faced one of their biggest nights of the season in a competition their respective clubs are unusually desperate to win. Here, Ian Ladyman assesses how they shaped up at Old Trafford. TEAM SELECTION . Managers are paid to make the right calls and sometimes that involves an element of risk. Wenger\u2019s decision to include Danny Welbeck ahead of Olivier Giroud seemed baffling. Giroud had scored five goals in his last five games and it was hard to think Welbeck would have anything in his repertoire that his former team-mates in the United ranks didn\u2019t know all about. For an hour here it seemed as though the Arsenal manager had blundered a little. Arsenal were familiarly quick and progressive through midfield but Welbeck seemed unable to hold of possession long enough to bring his supporting players Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain in to play. Arsenal left back Nacho Monreal jumps in the air after putting his side in the lead . Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney cancelled out Nacho Monreal's opener . Ultimately, though, Wenger\u2019s decision was vindicated when Welbeck was bright enough to anticipate Antonio Valencia\u2019s back pass and calm enough to win his subsequent challenge with David de Gea and score the winner. For their part, it was surprising to see United without their best passer, Michael Carrick, but they still had a bold look about them at the start and that was indicative of the fact that this was a game Van Gaal wished to win at the first attempt. Daley Blind was selected as United\u2019s only holding player and that, in turn, released Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini to try and hurt Arsenal further up the field. Most interesting, though, was Van Gaal\u2019s decision to select Ashley Young as a traditional winger. Young has looked good going forward from left-back this season and by shunting him further up the field, Van Gaal gave him licence to trouble young Hector Bellerin. It was a plan that worked early on, as Bellerin was booked for a foul, but Young couldn\u2019t maintain the threat and spent too much time in his own half. Ashley Young celebrates with Rooney following the Manchester United and England captain's equaliser . TACTICS AND STYLE . Wenger is nothing if not brave when it comes to these games and that was reflected in his decision to pair Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil as central players. Some Arsenal supporters may have wanted their team to look rather more secure and at times the visiting team did look vulnerable when Fellaini edge forwards to impose his unique brand of physicality on to the Arsenal central defenders. Arsenal\u2019s three-man attacking formation took", "summary": "Arsenal beat Manchester 2-1 in their FA Cup quarter-final clash on Monday . Danny Welbeck came back to haunt his former side with the winner for Arsene Wenger's men . Louis van Gaal's substitutes proved to be too defensive on the night .

The British Army could lose some of its best training facilities worldwide if it does not agree that any soldier accused of crimes should be dealt with under Kenyan law, rather than returned to the UK.

A recent session between Mr Hammond and Mr Kenyatta ended without agreement. Yesterday a renewal contract remained unsigned as both sides went public with their grievances.

The charges were finally withdrawn this month. This was exacerbated by continual Foreign Office travel advisories warning tourists that Kenya was not safe from terrorism.

Alan Grayson, 56, whose pretrial hearing was likened to an episode of the Netflix drama 'House of Cards', is set to make claims in court on Monday that his wife, Lolita, was still married when they wedded in Virginia in 1990. The outspoken liberal gained national attention during the debates over health care reform when he said the Republicans' opposing plan was 'don't get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly.' Alan, a Democrat and highly successful trial lawyer, said his wife's marriage to Robert Carson was not dissolved until 1994 in Broward County, Florida. However, she claims she divorced Carson in Guam in 1981, and she also disputes that she was divorced in Broward County. If the marriage is annulled, Alan would avoid having the court divide personal property or decide whether he owes Lolita alimony - his worth is listed by her at $31 million, according to court papers. An outspoken liberal congressman from Florida believes his 24-year marriage should be annulled because his estranged wife 'committed bigamy' (above 56-year-old Rep. Alan Grayson pictured during a House Democrats' new conference in January) Besides bigamy, the divorce has featured mutual allegations of battery, accusations by Lolita of financial abandonment by the congressman and a trial delay caused by her leaking breast implants. Last year, it was reported that Lolita was approved for public assistance by the state of Florida to help feed her four minor children that she has with Alan, according to WFTV. It was shortly after he was named the 17th richest man in Congress. Lolita has claimed she is not the 'Lolita B. Carson' cited in a dissolution of marriage final judgment that Alan said is proof that she was still married to Carson when they wed. Neither side has found Carson.

'When lies are told about you and you're in the media, your detractors are going to use it and use it forever more.

+{"article": "While scientists have theories about how fish first crawled onto land and breathed air, it's a mystery as to how vertebrates evolved tongues instead of feeding using suction. But now, a slow-motion video of mudskippers eating shrimp may help reveal the evolutionary secret. It shows the creatures, which live in and out of water and forage for food on the ground, taking a mouthful of water to act like a tongue, allowing them to swallow food on land. Scroll down for video . A slow-motion video of mudskippers feeding may help reveal an evolutionary secret. It shows the creatures, which live in and out of water and forage for food on the ground (pictured in a stock image) taking a mouthful of water to act like a tongue, allowing them to swallow food on land . Experts believe the finding may shed light on how terrestrial tetrapods - four-legged vertebrates - with tongues evolved from fish between 400 and 250 million years ago. When underwater, mudskippers suck water containing food particles into their mouths, which are swallowed when they reach the back of their throats, New Scientist reported. However, this method doesn\u2019t work on land, so terrestrial vertebrates evolved tongues to move the food to the back of the throat. A team of researchers led by Krijn Michel at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, captured slow-motion X-ray footage (shown) of Atlantic mudskippers eating pieces of brown shrimp out of water . The video revealed that mudskippers combine the sucking method of fish (stock image left) with the grabbing tongue action of amphibians such as nexts (right), meaning they could reveal a missing evolutionary link . Mudskippers are members of the gobies family, which is one of the largest fish families comprising more than 2,000 species. They are completely amphibious that can use their pectoral fins to walk on land. They appear to move in a series of 'skips' and can use their muscular bodied to catapult themselves two feet (60cm) in the air. Mudskippers are uniquely adapted to intertidal habitats, meaning that they don't have to hide in rock pools or retreat when the tide goes out. They feed out of water and even fight to defend their territories. The creatures breathe through their skin and the lining of their mouth and throat, but this only works when mudskippers are wet, limiting them to humid and watery habitats. Enlarged gill chambers enable them to retain a bubble of air and they close tightly when the animal is out of water to keep gills moist. A team of researchers led by Krijn Michel at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, captured slow-motion X-ray footage of Atlantic mudskippers eating pieces of brown shrimp out of water. They found that it takes the gelatinous creatures less than half a second to pounce and eat. By watching the video, which was slowed down 50 times, the experts were able to see that the mudskippers carry water in their mouths. They spit it forward to grab the shrimp and then suck it back into their mouths quickly,to mimic", "summary": "Slow motion video captured by University of Antwerp researchers shows mudskippers eat on land with the help of a glob of water .

In doing so, they have confirmed an effect predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity 100 years ago. The Hubble Telescope snapped the surprising multiple images with the help of a galaxy cluster that acted as a natural magnifying lens. The powerful gravity of a galaxy embedded in a massive cluster of galaxies in this Hubble Space Telescope image is producing multiple images of a single distant supernova far behind it. Both the galaxy and the galaxy cluster are acting like a giant cosmic lens, bending and magnifying light from the supernova behind them . The supernova could be seen because its light took different paths around the cluster located between the exploded star and the Earth-orbiting telescope. The cluster's gravity causes passing photons, or particles of light, to bend. Gravitational lensing occurs when galaxies and other objects amplify the light coming from other distant objects. It enables telescopes like Hubble to see objects that would otherwise be too faint and far away. This will combine the power of Hubble with the natural amplification caused by strong gravitational lensing of distant galaxy clusters to study the past universe. Einstein predicted this when explained how huge objects bend space-time to create what we experience as gravity. Astronomers have been taking advantage of so-called 'gravitational lensing' to boost Hubble's imaging powers and peer farther back in time. They say the latest images could help refine their estimates of the amount and distribution of dark matter in the lensing galaxy. Dark matter cannot be seen directly but is believed to make up most of the universe's mass. By chance, the supernova, which exploded about nine billion years ago, was aligned with the intervening galaxy cluster being used during a Hubble observation period in 2011. Scientists returned to the images in November to look for supernovae and found the quadruple rendering - a configuration known as an Einstein cross. 'The supernova team was looking at these image and bam, up popped not one, not two, not three, but four images,' said astronomer Jennifer Lotz, with the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. 'They were incredibly lucky.' Although astronomers have discovered dozens of multiply imaged galaxies and quasars, they have never seen a stellar explosion resolved into several images .

The increase in risk per 10g of alcohol consumed \u2013 around one alcoholic drink \u2013 is about 4 per cent, says the World Cancer Research Fund. As a result three or more drinks pose a significant cancer risk, it adds. The review also found a strong association between obesity and liver cancer, as well as evidence that drinking coffee can protect against the disease. The risk of liver cancer is increased by 4 per cent for every 10g of alcohol consumed, meaning three or more drinks a day pose a significant cancer risk, a research review has claimed . The WCRF's continuous update project reviewed global research into the relationship between diet, weight and physical activity, and liver cancer. In all, 34 studies were analysed covering 8.2million people of whom more than 24,500 had liver cancer. Previous research by the project has shown alcohol to be strongly linked with a range of cancers, including liver. The WCRF recommends women should try to limit their alcohol intake to one drink per day and men to two. Amanda McLean, director of WCRF UK, said: 'Around three or more drinks per day can be enough to cause liver cancer. Until now we were uncertain about the amount of alcohol likely to lead to liver cancer. But the research reviewed in this report is strong enough to be more specific.' In 2012, there were 4,703 cases of liver cancer in the UK. The report estimates that nearly a quarter of cases could be prevented if people kept a healthy weight and did not drink. World Cancer Research Fund reviewed 34 studies involving more than 8.2million people in order to reach its findings on alcohol, weight, physical activity and liver cancer . Although the research found strong evidence that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of the disease, the report did not recommend the amount that should be drunk. Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, chairman of the Alcohol Health Alliance UK, said: 'The findings from this study further demonstrate the urgent need for mandatory health warnings on alcohol products.' Dr Sarah Jarvis, medical adviser for alcohol education charity Drinkaware, said the research revealed a worrying link with obesity, but some people had a 'blind spot' when it comes to the calories in alcohol.

Scroll down for video . McHipster? Despite running this ad just weeks ago, it's been reported that McDonald's will begin to offer kale on its menu in the near future . Janney analyst Mark Kalinowski told CNN the move could mean kale salads and even smoothies may be on the horizon and said the company's goal is to appear healthier or of a higher quality. 'McDonald's clearly aims to raise consumers' perception of the quality of its food. Adding kale to the menu in some way could help be a step in this direction,' he wrote. However, McDonald's stayed mum when questioned about the superfood, telling CNN, in part: 'we're always looking at new and different ingredients.' Either way, don't expect your future Big Macs to be piled with the curly greens. Six weeks ago, the fast food mega chain debuted a commercial in which the words 'WILL NEVER BE KALE' appeared in block letters over the signature burger's lettuce layer. The news comes after McDonald's on Monday vowed to remake itself as a 'modern, progressive burger company' after aggressive competition from Chipotle, Chick-fil-A and myriad 'better burger' chains bit into U.S. restaurant sales last month. February ended the run of former Chief Executive Don Thompson. His short tenure included 2014, when falling profit, revenue and traffic resulted in one of McDonald's worst years in decades. Steve Easterbrook, a McDonald's insider who led two UK-based restaurant chains before returning to the company in 2013, took the helm at the Golden Arches on March 1. Leafy: The trendy vegetable would likely be offered in the form of salads and smoothies, say analysts . Moving on up: Reports of the new McMenu item come just after the company's announced intention Monday to become a more 'modern, progressive burger company' The company that virtually invented fast food has struggled to find the right recipe to meet diners' growing appetite for healthier, fresher food. In his first big move as CEO, Easterbrook last week announced that McDonald's USA will switch to chicken raised with fewer antibiotics. The policy, which will affect McNuggets and other products sold in its roughly 14,000 U.S. stores, will put McDonald's more in step with Chipotle and Chick-fil-A. McDonald's shares were up 0.8 percent at $97.90 at midday. The stock is up about 10 percent since Easterbrook's promotion was announced in late January.

When he was given medical treatment, an MRI scan of his brain showed a cancerous tumor in its early stages. Randy Schmitz, 30, was sampling a hot sauce made of scorpion and habanero peppers at the Pepper Palace in Myrtle Beach when he had a seizure . During a post-seizure brain scan, doctors noticed a cancerous brain tumor in its early stages. Schmitz flew home early from his vacation and had the tumor removed two days later . 'If I didn't try that, I think something eventually would have triggered the seizure and I would've found out, but that cancer tumor would've grown in my head,' Schmitz told the Chicago Tribune. Flashbang hot sauce contains Carolina reaper, scorpion and habanero peppers. Customers have to sign a waiver before tasting it. After the seizure, the special education job coach flew home early from his family vacation and underwent brain surgery two days later. Doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital removed a two-and-a-half-inch by one-and-a-half-inch malignant tumor from Schmitz's frontal lobe. After Schmitz had the tumor removed, he was treated with radiation, and he has home more month of chemotherapy treatment . Jeffrey Raizer, medical director of neuro-oncology at Northwestern Medical Hospital, said that though it can't be proven that the hot sauce triggered the seizure, the tasting conditions, including dehydration and stress, match those known to lead to seizures. 'If you have a lot of hot sauce and you're sweating a lot, people can have dehydration and it can cause seizures,' Raizer told the Tribune. 'If you eat a habanero pepper, it's a big jolt to your system.' Raizer added that the seizure allowed Schmitz to be treated with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy before the tumor got worse. He has completed his radiation treatments and has one more month of chemotherapy treatment. He got married two weeks after his diagnosis. Schmitz was so grateful that the tumor was spotted that he wrote a letter to Pepper Palace saying, 'Your Flashbang Pepper Sauce SAVED MY LIFE!!!'

Van der Garde won the challenge to get a spot in Sunday's race with Swiss F1 team Sauber, who removed him as a driver late last year despite having a contract. Justice Clyde Croft in the Supreme Court of Victoria said Van der Garde's application was successful. Giedo van der Garde, pictured at testing in 2014 was the reserve driver for Sauber last season . Lawyers for Sauber argued Van der Garde was an unacceptable risk because he wasn't trained in the team's car and he did not have a custom seat, but van der Garde's lawyer Tom Clarke said his client was ready to work with the team to get a seat fitted before racing begins. Sauber said in a statement 'the outcome is unfortunately not as expected.' 'We are disappointed with this decision and now need to take time to understand what it means and the impact it will have on the start of our season,' Sauber team chief executive Monisha Kaltenborn said. 'What we cannot do is jeopardize the safety of our team, or any other driver on the track, by having an unprepared driver in a car that has now been tailored to two other assigned drivers.' But Van der Garde said outside court he was ready to race. Practice begins Friday. 'I'm very fit and very strong. I'm looking forward to going back to the team, work hard and do our best for the weekend,' he said. 'I'm the fittest ever. I've been training the last three months flat out.'

She has taken jobs picking fruit, and since the mid-1990s has lived largely on benefits. Her current home is a former council house in Monmouth, south Wales, bought on a mortgage for \u00a360,000 under right-to-buy laws. It was described in court as being damp and badly heated. By contrast, her former husband has founded Ecotricity, now one of the UK's biggest green energy companies, worth at least \u00a357million. The strict vegan lives in a \u00a33million 18th century castle near Stroud, Gloucestershire, with his second wife and their five-year-old son. Mr Vince also owns Forest Green Rovers football club where he has banned red meat for players and supporters. Mr Vince's son Dane moved in with his father in 2001 after the business began to take off. In December 2012 a judge ordered the ex-husband to pay Ms Wyatt \u00a3125,000. But he challenged the ruling and Appeal Court judges struck it out. Yesterday, Supreme Court justices ruled in favour of Ms Wyatt and said her claim should be heard by a judge in the Family Division of the High Court. She is demanding almost \u00a32million. Lord Wilson, speaking for all five justices, said that under 1973 divorce legislation the courts should have taken into account the years Ms Wyatt looked after the couple's son. 'He was brought up by Ms Wyatt,' the judge said. 'She struggled to do so. They were 16 years of real hardship for her and her family. At times they lived in caravans. They moved home frequently. They lived from hand to mouth.' Lord Wilson said the burden had fallen on Ms Wyatt and her contribution had been unmatched by Mr Vince.

Kathleen Wyatt (left) pictured with lawyer Barbara Reeves (right) after justices said the case could be heard . Ms Wyatt is pictured leaving the Supreme Court today (left) after judges ruled her application can be heard by the High Court and in 2003 (right) after the two New Age travellers had divorced .

Lord Wilson added: 'Unwisely, Miss Wyatt has pitched her claim at \u00a31.9million and it is obvious \u2026 that an award approaching that size is out of the question. Her claim may even be dismissed. Kathleen Wyatt's legal victory opens the way for divorcees to claim a pay-off from their ex-spouse decades later. Supreme Court judges \u2013 Lady Hale, Lord Clarke, Lord Wilson, Lord Hughes and Lord Hodge \u2013 said Appeal judges had been wrong to throw Ms Wyatt's original case out on the basis she had no reasonable grounds, in 2013.

+{"article": "A woman who lost half her leg to bone cancer had her foot reattached backwards - and it wasn't a mistake. Shanna Decker, 24, was seven when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma after complaining about a pain in her leg. Doctors said they would have to remove her left knee to save her life. But instead of an amputation, Decker opted for a 'rotationplasty': when the foot is attached to the thigh and rotated backwards. It means Decker, from Minnesota, has more control over her prosthetic calf. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Choice: Shanna Decker, 24, opted to have her left foot reattached to her thigh backwards after doctors removed her left knee. The operation, which removed a cancerous tumor, saved her life . The forward-facing heel acts as a new knee and the foot can move like a shin. If she needs to, Decker can even apply weight to the foot - which has retained its feeling - and walk on it. The then-novel procedure was one of three options available to Decker, while she endured a grueling chemotherapy program. Doctors could have amputated her leg below the thigh or created a 'stiff leg'. More control: The decision Decker and her parents made when she was seven (left) means that she now has more control over her prosthetic leg and can manoeuvre it better than if she had undergone an amputation . Delighted: Seven-year-old Decker was amazed at how quickly she learned to walk again after surgery . Due to her age, Decker was not eligible for 'limb salvage', where the missing tissue is replaced with transplanted or artificial tissue, as her legs were not fully developed. Instead, she opted for rotationplasty, which removes the tumor and the knee and rotates the foot 180 degrees. Writing on Rotationplasty.com, her mother said: 'I remember this being the hardest decision our family has ever faced. When we initially learned of rotationplasty, I have to admit, it took time to absorb. We had many questions and desperately wanted to connect with others who had already chosen this procedure, but found that to be difficult.' No regrets: Decker has now set up a foundation to help children who are considering rotationplasty too . Aside from the difficulty overcoming the appearance of her new leg, Decker said she never thought twice about it. And learning to walk was simple - unlike the months-long process most amputees endure. 'As soon as my leg healed, I was walking with a prosthetic and it took me about three seconds to learn how to rewalk,' Decker told Everyday Health. Hoping to inspire children who are facing the same predicament she tackled 17 years ago, Decker has founded a charity called Brighter Tomorrows that supports young cancer sufferers.", "summary": "Shanna Decker, 24, was diagnose with osteosarcoma at the age of 7 .

Lilly Baxandall, 95, was taken to Glan Clwyd Hospital, north Wales (pictured) at around 5pm on September 1 last year after a fall. She was not admitted to A&E until 9.50pm, and died the next day . It is the latest shocking death threatening to undermine patient faith in the Welsh Ambulance Service, which has met its response targets just once in the past two-and-a-half years. Labour, which runs the health service in Wales under devolution, has cut health funding by more than 8 per cent since 2010. And the cuts have seen longer waits for ambulances, far more people waiting more than four hours in A&E than in England, and poor cancer care. At a pre-inquest hearing yesterday, Miss Baxandall's great-niece Kate Thomas, a locum doctor who helped care for her great-aunt in the ambulance, said: 'By the time she was admitted it was far too late.' The court, sitting in Ruthin, North Wales, was told Miss Baxandall\u2019s cleaner dialled 999 on September 1 last year when she found her on the floor after a fall. She had a cut on her head but was still conscious. A paramedic arrived soon after but it was two more hours before an ambulance arrived, making it to the casualty department of Glan Clwyd Hospital by 5pm. Coroner John Gittins said Miss Baxandall's case is particularly concerning as it is the third such case he has had to deal with . At that time, Coroner John Gittins said, there was evidence to suggest 11 ambulances were queuing outside waiting to discharge patients. \u2018Over the course of the next few hours she began to decline and paramedics were becoming concerned at the delay in admission,\u2019 the coroner said. She was finally admitted at 9.50pm \u2013 almost seven hours after the paramedic first arrived. A post-mortem examination found she died of pneumonia due to bleeding on the brain, caused by the head injury. The coroner said he would call a neurosurgeon to give evidence on whether Miss Baxandall would have had a better chance of survival had she been admitted sooner. Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board, which runs Glan Clwyd Hospital, last week said it was struggling due to cuts to the Labour-run NHS \u2013 as it urged patients not to go to GPs for free prescriptions to treat minor ailments. The coroner said he was concerned as Miss Baxandall\u2019s death was the third he had dealt with recently where ambulance delays were a factor.

In a genetic first, scientists have sequenced the largest ever set of human genomes from a single population. The epic undertaking involved sequencing the DNA of 2,636 Icelanders and comparing them with the partial sequences of another 104,000 revealing insights into human evolution . Scientists see Iceland as a goldmine for doing genetics research. The country was founded by a small group of settlers from Europe arriving about 1,100 years ago and it remained isolated for the next thousand years. Because the population in Iceland has very little genetic diversity, scientists can find genetic variants that raise the chance of disease more easily. Iceland also has strong genealogical record, as a result of well-preserved historical documents. This date range, based on a calculation of human mutation rates, contradicts earlier findings that claim the father of all humans lived around 340,000 years ago. Scientists now estimate his age to be 239,000 years old \u2013 a date closer to humanity's most common female ancestor who is believed to have lived 200,000 years ago. As well as evolutionary insights, scientists say the dataset will help them discover 'mutant genes' that naturally protect a rare group of people from certain diseases. So far, the work has provided promising results helping identify 20 million genetic variants among the Icelandic population. Among these variations, scientists at Reykjavik-based DeCode Genetics have already found genes that increase the risks of Alzheimer's disease, liver and thyroid problems. 'This work is a demonstration of the unique power sequencing gives us,' said Kari Stefansson, founder of DeCode, who led the research. 'This is very much more than a molecular national selfie,' he added. 'We're contributing to important tools for making more accurate diagnostics for rare diseases.' Stefansson's team today published four papers online in Nature Genetics, all of which used the Icelandic data.

Prisoners at the Northwest Florida Reception Center, near Panama City, were reportedly beaten and even threatened with having their fingers broken while other guards manipulated surveillance cameras to perpetuate the harsh system which they called 'the program'. According to allegations from prisoners and former guards, the perpetrators and their superiors engineered a conspiracy of silence around the shocking practices, which meant that any concerns raised were swept away.

The punishment was allegedly used so routinely that corrections officers would fake excuses to use the gas, and in some cases would even fill out paperwork justifying their use of the gas the day before. One officer, Captain James Kirkland, would reportedly gas inmates as punishment if they filed complaints about him.

Sellers then claims he was forced to resign by a superior. Kirkland, and five other guards, were eventually charged and arrested over abuse at the prisons - but the officer, who was reportedly suffering mental health problems, killed himself before he could stand trial.

+{"article": "This bronze statue put up in memory of murdered Sarah Payne was stolen this morning from Burhill County Primary School in Hersham, Surrey . A bronze statue erected in memory of murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne was stolen from her school this morning. The 2ft tall statue was presented to Burhill County Primary School in Hersham, Surrey, to commemorate Sarah, who was murdered by Roy Whiting in 2000. Three people are believed to have been involved in the 'reprehensible' theft, with a van spotted leaving the area at around 1am. Her mother, Sara, said today: 'I implore the public to help me and the police bring my Sarah's memorial statue back where it belongs.' She fears the statue could end up at a scrapyard and melted down and appealed for such businesses to look out for it. She said: 'Monetary-wise it's not worth that much. It's worth far more to the school. The residents feel sick and I feel sick about it.' Eight-year-old Sarah was abducted by paedophile Roy Whiting as she played with older brothers Luke and Lee and younger sister Charlotte in a field outside her grandparents' rural home in Kingston Gorse, West Sussex in July 2000. Michael Payne and his then wife Sara made a series of heart-rending appeals for her safe return, but her body was discovered 16 days later in a shallow grave just a few miles away. Whiting was sentenced to life behind bars in January 2001, and is held at HMP Wakefield, dubbed the Monster Mansion due to the number of high risk sex offenders imprisoned there. Her mother, Sara, said today: 'I implore the the public to help me and the police bring my Sarah's memorial statue back where it belongs' Eight-year-old Sarah was abducted by paedophile Roy Whiting as she played in a field outside her grandparents' rural home in West Sussex in 2000 . It later emerged that Whiting was already on the Sex Offenders Register after abducting and sexually attacking another eight-year-old. Her brutal death remains one of Britain's highest profile child murders and led to the introduction of Sarah's Law following a lengthy campaign by her mother. The rule allows concerned parents or grandparents to contact police to find out if a new boyfriend, or a neighbour, who has contact with a child, has a history of child sex offending. Sarah's father, Michael, died aged 45 last October after a long battle with alcoholism. Her mother was awarded an MBE in 2008 for her campaign work. Following the theft of the statue today, Elmbridge neighbourhood sergeant Marc Nettleingham said: 'We are carrying out a number of enquiries to identify the offenders responsible for this theft, which is particularly reprehensible given that it was presented to the school in memory of Sarah Payne. 'I am appealing to anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area at the time of the offence, or with any other information, to come forward straight away.'", "summary": "Statue presented to Burhill Primary School, Hersham, stolen this morning .

A retired police officer who groomed a 12-year-old girl to such an extent that he could 'help himself to her' whenever he wanted, has been jailed for 12 years. Alan Saffery, 61, groomed and abused the young girl, who is now aged in her 40s, over a four-year period while he was serving as an officer with West Mercia Police. Worcester Crown Court heard how the offences only came to light after being reported to police by the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, during a separate investigation. Saffery, from Hereford, Herefordshire, has now been convicted of six counts of indecent assault and two counts of sex with a girl under the age of 13 following a trial. He was jailed for 12 years for the historical sex offences, which took place in the 1970s and 1980s while the girl was aged between 12 and 15, and shouted 'it's all lies' as he was taken to the cells following sentencing yesterday.

He was cleared of two further charges of raping a second girl aged under 16 in 1986. During sentencing, Judge Robert Juckes QC said Saffery had helped the girl to become 'infatuated' with him and groomed her so he could 'help himself to her' whenever the opportunity arose. He added: 'Your job was to protect members of the community, not to abuse them.' The court heard Saffery groomed and repeatedly assaulted the victim while he was in his 20s and a serving police officer. In a police video played to the jury, the victim said Saffery would take 'every chance' to engage in sexual activity with her. She said: 'He would say nice things. He would tell me I was lovely and beautiful. 'A little girl would be flattered by that. 'I had a teenage crush on him. I was infatuated by him.'

The girl's mother is suing her travel agency in China over the attack, which occurred during a six-day trip to Thailand that was a reward for the girl's good grades in school. Chen Ting, 36, said daughter Chen Yin had seemed unusually quiet during the trip, and on the final day as they waited at the airport before flying home, the girl began crying and complaining that her arm and stomach were hurting. Injury: The girl's mother holds up a picture of the alleged bitemark on her daughter's arm . Mrs Chen then found bite marks on her daughter, and discovered that Chinese tour guide Zhou Fang was allegedly responsible. 'At the time I clearly saw some teeth marks on my daughter's left arm, the skin in the area was abraded, the same with her belly,' she told People's Daily Online. When Ms Chen complained to the guide, she claimed he refused to apologise and simply walked away. Once she returned to China she complained to the travel agency, and an investigation in Thailand allegedly found that another tourist saw the the guide ask the little girl for a kiss. In her complaint letter, the mother said: 'When I saw my daughter in tears and listened to her story, I checked and found obvious bite marks in places where she couldn't have done it herself. 'She said the guide had bitten her after telling her: \"You are very pretty. You're leaving soon and it's hard to see you go. Come here and let me give you a kiss\".' When she refused, he had grabbed her anyway and then bit her on the stomach. She managed to break free and run behind some luggage where he grabbed her again, and this time bit her on the arm.

Security experts believe the freedom of extremists to operate at college campuses is a significant factor in the radicalisation of some young people. Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps yesterday said Mr Cable, who has responsibility for universities, was wrong to resist the move. \u2018Vince Cable doesn\u2019t want to do what the Conservatives want to do, which is to make sure that on campus we do not have radical preachers saying things which incite violence which ultimately can lead to the radicalisation of young people,\u2019 he told Sky News. \u2018We have to put proper, decent, tough rules in place which don\u2019t ban free speech, but do prevent people from preaching death.\u2019 Lib Dem energy secretary Ed Davey said it was \u2018easy to demolish\u2019 the views of hate preachers if they were debated in public and warned that driving them underground would only increase their appeal. \u2018If these preachers are inciting violence, if they are saying it is OK to be a terrorist, if they are saying you can cut off people\u2019s heads, they can and should be arrested,\u2019 he said.

Neil Moore duped wardens into believing he had been given bail by Southwark Crown Court before brazenly walking out of Wandsworth jail in south London where he was being held for a \u00a31.8million fraud. The 28-year-old employed 'extraordinary criminal inventiveness, deviousness and creativity' to secure his release from the Category B jail from which notorious Great Train robber Ronnie Biggs escaped in 1965. Neil Moore escaped from HMP Wandsworth - one of Britain's most secure prisons - by forging his own bail letter . Southwark Crown Court heard his plan included setting up an official-looking email address with the name of the detective in charge of the fraud probe involving British and American crime agencies. After escaping Moore spent three days securing a new driving licence - but handed himself back in after having a change of heart. Ian Paton, prosecuting, said: 'Having been remanded into custody by this court and realising the reality of what he had lent himself to and what was going to be uncovered, he promptly began adapting his skills for deceit, forgery and dishonesty and engaged them for his escape.' In spring last year Moore set about using a mobile phone illegally smuggled into HMP Wandsworth to organise his release. He set up an email domain imitating Her Majesty's Court Service that used hyphens instead of 'dots' to say Southwark Crown Court had rubber-stamped his bail on March 10, 2014. Moore managed to secure his release when staff failed to spot the subtle difference - despite Southwark being misspelled 'Southwalk'. Mr Paton said wardens discovered he had escaped when Moore's solicitor turned up for a meeting. He said: 'Mr Moore's solicitor had attended at HMP Wandsworth to have a conference with his client only to find that he had been \"granted bail\".' Southwark Crown Court heard the 28-year-old's plan included setting up an official-looking email address with the name of a detective involved in the fraud probe . With the help of the United States Department of Homeland Security they discovered Moore, who is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, had set up a website offshore. He used the name Chris Soole, a Scotland Yard Detective Inspector, to set up the domain. Mr Paton said: 'He promptly set in process the obtaining of real, genuine documentation in order to get a further identity. 'It was the first stage of securing documentation that could have secured his escape from the jurisdiction.' The court heard Moore, from Ilford, Essex, had at least four different aliases and police were unsure of his precise identity. He pleaded guilty to escaping from lawful custody and eight counts of fraud. Moore posed as bank staff from Barclays, Lloyds and the Bank of America to fool large companies in the UK and US, including Thomas Exchange Global, into handing over around \u00a31,819,000 between February 2012 and November 2013.

'It would have been hard to drop one of our middles if we had won every game but, as it stands now, it's not that hard,' Wane said. 'I've looked at him in training and he's ready to go.

+{"article": "Randy Gregory has admitted to failing a marijuana test at the NFL scouting combine last month. One of the most talented edge rushers in the upcoming draft, Gregory starred for Nebraska at outside linebacker for the past two seasons. 'I blame myself,' Gregory told NFL media's Kimberly Jones from his Atlanta home. 'And I know it sounds cliche, but there's really no one else I can blame.' The 22-year-old found out about the failed test a fortnight ago on the phone to his father. He had asked him to open an envelope which he mistakenly believed to be an invitation to the draft in Chicago. Randy Gregory impressed at the combine, running the 40 in 4.64 secs with a 125 inch broad jump . Gregory had 17.5 sacks in his two years at Nebraska and is one of the most coveted linebackers in the draft . Many experts have the 22-year-old as a top-five pick. At 6ft 5in he is versatile enough to rush the quarterback or operate in coverage, but in a class loaded with pass rushers, he spoke of his concerns. 'Am I worried? Yeah, I'm worried,' he said. 'At the same time, I'm confident. I know I'm going to be all right in the end.' Gregory told Jones that he hasn't smoked marijuana since December, and that he did not use other recreational drugs. 'I don't wake up every day saying, I'd really love to go smoke,' he said. 'It's not a struggle for me every day (now), it really isn't. In the past, hell yeah, it's been a struggle. It really has been.' Gregory's issues with the drug were well-documented. He failed two drug tests in January and April in 2014 at Nebraska. 'I was worse at Nebraska than I've ever been at any other time of my life. But I know how I am now. I think if teams really look at how I am now more so than the past, they'll see I'm making strides to get better, as a person and as a player,' he said. Despite the red flags, 29 NFL teams spoke to Gregory at the combine and if they did not know of his off-field issues, Gregory made them aware during the interviews. Gregory will enter the NFL in the first stage of the league's substance abuse programme. 'This incident right now is a step toward ending my career. The last thing I want to do is fail another drug test and be out of the league.'", "summary": "Gregory starred for Nebraska over the past two seasons and was selected by many experts as a top five pick .

After an easy transfer from Oslo airport, we arrived at the Radisson Blu, one of two ski-in ski-out hotels. There is ten-pin bowling, an American-style diner, a soft play area and a vast multi-pool swimming area that would prove to be a huge hit with my lot. It is also right by the nursery slopes - our first morning found us riding the magic carpet to ski school. Maisie was in a class of five, Imogen was with three others. And by a happy quirk, they were being taught by two sisters, both delightful. By the second day, she was riding the mini drag lift and Imogen was padding around on her skis, searching for stuffed toy lions and monkeys around the kids area. Easy does it: Trysil can be a perfect ski destination for families with young children . By the end of the week, both were skiing better than I could have hoped. Trysil has four main ski areas, all with excellent nursery slopes - with easy routes down from all points. The ski school also runs a drop-in creche from 10.45am to 3pm for \u00a38 an hour per child, with a 30 per cent discount for siblings. We used this for our own ski time. The slopes are surprisingly extensive. Hogegga is an area with mostly black runs - and new for this season is the first of a series of new gladed trails through woods. Skihytta is a charming mountain hut serving its own beers, and moose shot by the owner. Knettsettra is another must-visit mid-mountain restaurant and bar. It hosts free concerts for up to 5,000 people in March and April. The one sting in the tail is the cost of alcohol. A draft half-litre of beer cost me \u00a36.50 and a bottle of wine \u00a335. But the well-priced food balanced this out over the week. And it was not just about the skiing. Downhill all the way: Trysil has slopes for skiers all abilities, within quick reach of Oslo . We also took the girls dog-sledding across a beautifully scenic plateau, and our highlight of the week was a horse sleigh ride with a stop-off in a Nordic yurt to cook hot dogs over an open fire. The girls definitely developed a taste for skiing, and we have a new love affair with Trysil.", "summary": "Norway can be an alternative to the Alps for a half-term skiing break .

But the attack, and similar ones that followed in more than 60 other Japanese cities, have received little attention and were eclipsed by the atomic bombings and Japan's postwar rush to rebuild. Where earlier raids targeted aircraft factories and military facilities, the Tokyo firebombing was aimed largely at civilians, in places including Tokyo's downtown Shitamachi area, where people lived in traditional wood and paper homes at densities sometimes exceeding 100,000 people per square mile. Exhausted residents also chose to pull blankets over their heads and sleep when air-raid sirens blew instead of heading to shelters turned icy by an unusually cold winter.

Staff at a Hugo Boss store where a four-year-old boy was fatally struck by a falling mirror were warned it was dangerous nine months before, an inquest has heard. Head of shop construction Ben Mareschal told staff at the Bicester outlet village in Oxfordshire the three-way mirror needed to be fitted properly in September 2012. In June 2013, the same mirror toppled over onto Austen Harrison, of Turners Hill, West Sussex, who died in hospital four days later after undergoing an emergency operation to relieve pressure on his brain. Austen was with his parents, Simon and Irina Harrison, when the incident happened at the Bicester outlet village at around 8.30pm on June 4, 2013. Mrs Harrison and her son met Mr Harrison after he finished work and had dinner at a Carluccio's restaurant before going to the Hugo Boss store. The four-year-old had been playing with the mirror while his father tried on a suit when it fell. An inquest into his death at Oxford Coroner's Court heard that the mirror was not fixed to the wall and that its free-standing position meant it could easily overbalance. Mr Mareschal, who has since left Hugo Boss, told the inquest: 'I clearly remember the three-way mirror was in the wrong location, it was not in the fitting area. 'I recall putting my hand on the mirror and I said \"guys, it can't be here, it needs to be fitted properly\". 'It was not attached to the wall and was masking a gap in the wall fittings. I walked to the fitting room and indicated where it needed to go. 'The three-way mirror was certainly not a freestanding mirror and to leave it standing on the floor would have been inherently dangerous due to its size and weight. 'It needed to be fixed securely to the wall.' Mr Mareschal visited the shop just before leaving the company for a new job and sent an email to area manager Matthew Pink, copying in contractors, containing an update on work at the store a month after it opened in August 2012, the inquest in Oxford was told. It said another night of work was needed to install items including a three-way mirror, which meant the wall would have to be reinforced. He said: 'If I had received notification the mirror was not fitted correctly, I would have taken the necessary steps to rectify that. 'I was very shocked to hear about the incident.' Mr Mareschal said Hugo Boss did not cut corners in relation to health and safety but admitted the job was 'low cost and fast paced', taking place at a time when the contractors Pattons were going out of business. Accident scene: An inquest at Oxford Coroner's Court heard that the mirror was not fixed to the wall of the Hugo Boss store in Bicester (above) and that its free-standing position meant it could easily overbalance .

A judge yesterday told the father-of-five, from Newport, that he was a 'thoroughly dishonest businessman' as he jailed him for 15 months. He said it would have been longer had Connors, 39, who admitted three charges of aggressive business practice, not paid all of the money back. Prosecutor Lee Reynolds said: 'He was a rogue trader preying on the elderly and the vulnerable, charging them extortionate prices for substandard work and sometimes for work not done at all. 'One woman was charged 20 times the value and the other, 10 times. 'The third person didn't hand over any money but became upset and almost buckled under the aggressive behaviour from the defendant.' The work in Rhiwbina took place over many months with the victim in the end having difficulty in recalling all the jobs her workmen claimed to have done. Mr Reynolds told the court: 'It all started with weeds growing through the block paving in her drive and her being told there were problems underneath. Cardiff Crown Court heard he lavished the money on new cars - including a \u00a332,000 Range Rover. Pictured is his luxury home .

In a statement released on Monday, the league announced that the Falcons have been fined $350,000 (\u00a3237,000) and will forfeit their fifth-round selection in the 2016 draft. If the Falcons have multiple picks in that round, the highest selection will be forfeited. Team president Rich McKay has also been suspended from the league's Competition Committee beginning April 1. Atlanta Falcons have been fined \u00a3237,000 for their use of fake crowd noise at the Georgia Dome . Owner Arthur Blank acknowledged the team's wrongdoing and described the incident as embarrassing . The NFL noted throughout the 2013 season and into the 2014 season the Falcons violated league rules that state 'at no point during the game can artificial crowd noise or amplified crowd noise be played in the stadium.' The league also said Roddy White, the team's former director of event marketing, was directly responsible for the violation and would have been suspended without pay for the first eight weeks of the 2015 regular season had he still been with the club. The Falcons fired him. The league determined that Falcons ownership and senior executives, including McKay, were unaware of the use of an audio file with artificial crowd noise. But as the senior club executive overseeing game operations, McKay bears some responsibility for ensuring that team employees comply with league rules. McKay can petition Commissioner Roger Goodell for reinstatement to the committee no sooner than June 30. The Falcons played fake crowd noise during the 2013 and 2014 seasons .

Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in early February that he had seen enough of the NFL's investigation to acknowledge wrongdoing by his club. 'It's not really a fine line,' Blank said. 'I think what we've done in 2013 and 2014 was wrong. Anything that affects the competitive balance and fairness on the field, we're opposed to, as a league, as a club and as an owner. It's obviously embarrassing but beyond embarrassing it doesn't represent our culture and what we're about.' The Falcons say 101 of 103 games have been sellouts since Blank bought the team in 2002. Actual turnouts declined during losing seasons the last two years. Atlanta ranked 10th among the 32 NFL teams with its average home attendance of 72,130 in 2014.

+{"article": "Five years ago England beat Spain to win the Under 17 European Championships. The winning goal came from a striker who burst powerfully into the box, between two opponents, before firing home a sweet shot into the corner beyond the keeper. A cool finish on a big occasion. A few months later, I saw him come on as a substitute in the Championship and display some clever touches and neat footwork. He stood out as one of the more technically gifted players on display in the second tier game. Fast forward a few more months and that teenage striker - playing in the Championship - picked up the ball in his own half, ran towards the opposition goal, beat two defenders, wrong-footed the keeper and slotted into an empty net. Connor Wickham made a disastrous decision to move to Sunderland when his career was flying . In the Championship, he impressed and looked like one of the most technically gifted players on the pitch . Two weeks after that he scored a hat-trick. In the summer of 2011 he made what has proved to be a catastrophic career move. He signed for Sunderland. To those who didn't follow Connor Wickham's career before he went to the North-East, all they will know of him is that he is highly-paid, and not exactly outstanding. Sure, there was a flurry of goals to help Sunderland stay up at the back end of last season, but that has been it. Stories emerged last season of his big spending - \u00a317,500 on a gold bottle of champagne, and a \u00a3140,000 Ferrari. These barely make a dent in his \u00a360,000-a-week salary, and they look cheap compared with team-mate Steven Fletcher and his \u00a3260,000 Lamborghini parked next to his \u00a3160,000 Bentley. These underachieving Sunderland players don't mind showing off their wealth, do they? Stories have emerged of Wickham's extravagant spending - \u00a317,500 on a bottle of champagne, for example . In a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday, he also impressed - there is no mistaking his ability as a footballer . Is it something about the club that means these players have no self-awareness whatsoever? Is nobody at the club telling them that all the time they're so truly terrible on the pitch, it might be a good idea to keep things on the down low off the pitch? One of Wickham's managers called him 'a playboy model,' and said he needed a 'slap in the face' to help him realise his talent. And make no mistake, Wickham is a very talented footballer. Unfortunately he chose the wrong club. Since Wickham joined Sunderland he has had 10 different managers at club level, including his loan spells. That is not the ideal environment for young talent to be nurtured and flourish. Managers come and go so quickly that the pressure for immediate results is huge, so the time a manager can devote to individual players on and off the pitch is restricted. Wickham should be spearheading England Under 21s' Euro campaign but he has not been selected . The 21-year-old", "summary": "Connor Wickham's career was flying while he was at Ipswich Town .

Students at The Grange School, in Runcorn, Cheshire, were kept out of lessons today after they refused to remove yellow ribbons and daffodils supporting the Marie Curie cancer charity. Head Barry Carney defended the decision, saying the school selected one charity to support each year and couldn't be seen to prefer one cause over another, but parents branded it 'pathetic'. Student Lily Gaynor, 16, said that up to 70 students from The Grange School, Cheshire, had been taken out of lessons ahead of their GCSEs for refusing to remove the charity pins . Pupil Lily Gaynor alerted a local newspaper to the student's plight by calling them from isolation. She estimated that between 60 and 70 students had been removed from classes. The 16-year-old said: 'We have been taken out of lessons before our GCSEs because we won\u2019t take off our charity badges. 'We\u2019ve got cancer badges and ribbons on our blazers and they\u2019re saying it isn\u2019t part of school uniform and it\u2019s singling out some charities over others.

A court heard she knew the 42-year-old wouldn't see the trap due to the hallway light being out and she was left with serious injuries to her face, neck and back. Janet Pearson, 58, (left) was handed a suspended sentence today after she deliberately set up a tripwire and caused her neighbour, Kari Anderson, (right) to fall down a set of stairs, injuring her face, neck and back . Judge Rajeer Shetty at Chester Crown Court described the incident as 'malicious and pre-meditated' and today handed Pearson a 12-month jail term, suspended for two years. The jury was told the neighbours had repeatedly argued over various matters and there had been 'a number of issues' dating back to summer 2013. Prosecutor Kimberley Obrusik explained that in one instance Pearson put her belongings in a storage cupboard which Miss Anderson paid to have installed. The former model and law graduate also claims Pearson moved in a homeless man, who hurled abuse at her and put cigarette butts in her flowerpots. She has previously accused her neighbour of being jealous of her and described seeing Pearson sitting in an upstairs window - overlooking the driveway - and watching her go about her business. Miss Anderson also noticed she changed her appearance and dress style to seemingly look like her - comparing the situation to the film 'Single White Female'. Kari Anderson, a former model, was left with serious bruising to her face and chest (pictured) She also noticed that large amounts of her mail were going missing, including bank statements and business letters, from the shared letterbox in the apartment complex. Meanwhile Pearson accused the ex-model of cutting the wire of some fairy lights outside her flat. The court heard how things came to a head on the morning of January 21, 2013, when Miss Anderson tripped over the wire laid by Pearson, who requires a stick to walk. Miss Anderson, who has lived in a penthouse flat with her 25-year-old son directly above Pearson for 15 years, told the court: 'I was carrying a bin bag in one hand and an overnight bag in the other. 'The lights hadn't worked since November the year before so I was being careful. I felt something sharp on my shin and that was the last thing I remember. 'I fell down two flights of stairs.

Researchers claim that tiny nano-sized droplets of electrically charged water filled with free radicals, could be sprayed onto fruit and vegetables, to kill pathogens lurking on the surface (illustrated) Scientists at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts believe that with more research, droplets called Engineered Water Nanostructures (EWNS) could replace current methods used to disinfect food, such as applying mild solutions of bleaches and chlorine. \u2018Fruit and vegetables can become contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms anywhere in their production chain, starting from the field or orchard, during harvest, transport, processing, distribution, and marketing, or during preparation in food-service establishments and in the home(from farm to fork route),\u2019 the scientists write in their study, published in the journal of Environmental Science and Technology. \u2018Possible pathogen sources include contaminated irrigation water, animals, birds, insects, soil, manure, and infected workers/food handlers.\u2019 Depending on how long fruit and vegetables were exposed to the spray of nanoparticles, lab tests showed that between 80 and 98 per cent of bacteria were destroyed. An SEM image of E. coli is shown . Think of food poisoning and you may immediately consider raw meat to be the culprit. But raw or minimally processed fruit and vegetables can be a source of pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites the study said. Every year in the US, approximately 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalised, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases. Between 1990 and 2005, contaminated fresh produce accounted for 13 per cent of all reported food borne outbreaks and for 21 per cent of reported illnesses. In Europe, fresh produce of non-animal origin accounted for 10 per cent of the outbreaks, 26 per cent of the cases, 35 per cent of the hospitalisations, and 46 per cent of deaths between years 2007\u22122011, according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). To create the charged droplets, which measure just 25 nanometres, the team led by Philip Demokritou, sprayed water though a strong electrical field - a technique known as electrospraying. The water molecules split into hydroxyl and superoxide radicals, which are usually unstable, Environmental Technology reported. But in the electrospray, a thin layer of charged water captures the radicals and stabilises them.

The sarcastic set of rules, which focus on the perpetrator of the crime rather than the victim, also include 'if you are in an elevator and a woman gets in, don't rape her', as well as 'when you encounter a woman who is asleep, the safest course of action is not to rape her'. Number nine on the list is 'carry a rape whistle. If you find you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you'. And the final one reads: 'Don't forget, honesty is the best policy. When asking a woman out on a date, don't pretend that you are interested in her as a person; tell her straight up that you expect to be raping her later. If you don't communicate your intentions, the woman may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her.' Silverman is currently dating Welsh actor Michel Sheen - whom she has been with since January 2014. Before that, she had a highly publicized romance with late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, whom she dated for five years until they split in 2008. The set of tips was first shared in a blog on Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence back in 2011. The post was uploaded by Leigh Hofheimer who said a co-worker had produced the set of rules. Comedian Sarah Silverman shared the list over Twitter dividing the opinion . Silverman's tweet left many men feeling offended . Social media users said the list suggested all men were capable of such crimes . Hofheimer wrote: 'I couldn\u2019t decide if I should laugh or be horrified by the reality that violence prevention tips are always aimed at what the targeted person should do (judgment strongly implied) to protect themselves.' Despite being almost four years old, the list has caused controversy after being tweeted by the comedian. Silverman's tweet has received a mixed reaction from the public.

It is also different this summer in that there is a three-week gap between Roland Garros and Wimbledon, therefore allowing him a week's rest after his usual run to the finals weekend in Paris. Nadal said: 'I always loved playing at The Queen\u2019s Club and I am very happy that I will be back this year. 'It was a great experience for me to lift the trophy in 2008 because it is such an important and traditional tournament. To win Wimbledon a few weeks later was like a dream. Nadal ends up on his back during a match against Radek Stepanek at Queen's in 2011 . Nadal bites the Wimbledon trophy after winning the Championships for the second time in 2010 . 'Coming to the Aegon Championships helps with the adjustment from clay to grass because the grass courts at Queen\u2019s are so good. 'It is also a tournament where the people are very nice - the organisers and of course the spectators who always make me feel very welcome in London.' Andy Murray will be his main rival for the title. Murray is back in his second home for the Miami Open this week, where Heather Watson and Kyle Edmund will also feature in the main draw.

Enjoy being able to drink on the tube! Cahoot is a 1940s themed bar opening in Soho, and transports guests back to the period, with an old tube carriage for seating, sandbags and classic cocktails .

From quirky cocktails served in clocks, to the authentic vintage signs, the centrally-located bar is the brainchild of Charlie Gilkes, 30, and Duncan Stirling, 33. The pair are owners of the Bunga Bunga bar and Maggie\u2019s nightclub, which is inspired by Margaret Thatcher and thought that as the Soho venue was used in the war as an air raid shelter, it would prove to be a poignant spot to host the bar. Charlie Gilkes of Inception Group said: 'We decided to open Cahoots, after having been inspired by true events that occurred in post-war Britain, and the venue's own extraordinary heritage. 'The site was formerly Tatty Bogle, an out-of-hours drinking club, first opened in 1917 by a group of Scottish officers. 'It was also used as a bomb shelter during World War II and the wartime membership book contains names such as Burgess, Maclean, Anthony Blunt and Buster Crabbe.

First timers are greeted by the station master, in character, at the entry kiosk and issued a \u2018day ticket\u2019 to enter the underground station . During the war a number of disused underground stations were used for shelter and inhabitants would bring their own nick-nicks and furnishings to feel at home during the raids. To bring Cahoots to life, the pair recreated the vintage tube carriage using real London Underground fabrics, and leather from the period. They also aimed to make the entrance as authentic as possible to the wooden escalators that would have been used in the stations.

But the Labour leader's latest posed picture has become the subject of much intrigue after it appeared to show he had grown in height. Despite his apparent dislike of photo-opportunities, Labour MPs were invited to Mr Miliband's office to have their pictures taken with him for their election leaflets. Ed Miliband looks barely a couple of inches shorter than the Labour MP Toby Perkins, despite being almost half a foot shorter . When shadow business minister Toby Perkins proudly showed off his photo with the leader on his website though, something seemed amiss. The MP for Chesterfield, who is 6'6', has previously dwarfed Mr Miliband when they have been pictured together. Yet in the latest photograph, Mr Miliband, who just over six foot, appears to be almost the same height. It was rumoured that Mr Miliband had resorted to standing on a box or a phone book to improve his stature. But after Labour aides tonight categorically denied the suggestion, the mystery remained. Asked whether Mr Miliband been on a box, Mr Perkins told the Mail: 'No of course not.' Questioned further on what Mr Miliband had been standing on, he added, 'I want to know what you're on,' before ending the call. A spokesman for Mr Miliband later added that the only thing he had been stood on was the floor, but he refused to comment on whether Mr Perkins had been forced to crouch. He said: 'Ed was not stood on anything. He is over six foot tall and was not on a box.' At 6ft 6in Toby Perkins (pictured in yellow) is the perfect choice to keep goal for the Labour MPs' charity football team . Labour MPs were last week invited to have 'portrait photos' taken with Mr Miliband in his office, the website Guido Fawkes reported. However, it is not thought the party anticipated much demand as it only allowed 45 minutes for the pictures despite it having 256 MPs. Mr Perkins, who was elected in 2010, posted his picture with Mr Miliband with article on his website about Labour's pledge to reduce university tuition fees. After facing much ridicule for his bacon sandwich picture, Mr Miliband said in July last year: 'Here's the thing: I believe that people would quite like somebody to stand up and say there is more to politics than the photo-op. And that culture diminishes our politics.' A Labour source said that Mr Miliband is around 6'1' to 6'2' tall. In 2010 it was claimed Nicolas Sarkozy had not seen the funny side after it was claimed David Cameron and George Osborne had both made jokes about his height while they were in opposition.

The club have not released the full annual report, only selected highlights with no detailed explanation as to how \u00a328.5million of extra costs have been incurred. Mark Jensen, editor of online fanzine themag.co.uk, said he had expected profits for the 2013/14 campaign to be closer to \u00a350million given the increase in income from television rights and the sale of Yohan Cabaye to Paris St Germain for around \u00a320million.

The wages-to-turnover ratio is also not included. 'We had anticipated a profit of around \u00a350m, especially with Cabaye being sold.

Emily Miller, the chief investigative reporter for WTTG-TV, has previously claimed she fell victim to a terrifying home invasion on New Year's Day in 2010 while dog-sitting for friends at their house. In one interview for the National Rifle Association, she said she returned to the home to find it being robbed before trying to take a photo of the suspect - and being chased by a group of 15 men. But a police report has now revealed a very different - and far less harrowing - tale than the one she has shared publicly. Scroll down for video . Changing story: Emily Miller, the chief investigative reporter for Fox 5, has repeatedly told a story in which she was the victim of a home invasion, but now a police report has revealed discrepancies in the accounts . The Washington Post's Erik Wemple unearthed a supplemental police report in which she told police she left the home for 10 minutes to walk the dog and when she returned, she saw a man walking out from behind a fence. She asked him why he was there and he told her he was delivering firewood, the police report noted, and left. Miller, who had forgotten to lock the door behind her when she took out the dog, went into the house and 'felt that something was not right', according to the report, so left to take a photo of his car. Outside, the suspect gave her a business card showing a tree service company before leaving, and Miller saw that he was driving a silver truck showing the name of a landscaping company. But later that evening, her credit card company called her about fraudulent activity on her card and she checked her wallet and saw the card and $50 were missing, according to the report. She had left the wallet out on a table inside the unlocked home while walking the dog. The police report shows that after she told police about the fraudulent activity on her card, they tracked down the purchases to a Wal-Mart and a tattoo shop.

While Messi, who was in London on Sunday night with girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo and former Barcelona team-mate Cesc Fabregas and his partner Daniella Semaan, is continuing to break records this season Morrison is just a mere spectator. The 22-year-old, who has signed a pre-contract agreement with Lazio, is a free agent. Ravel Morison has had his contract terminated at West Ham ahead of his summer move to Serie A side Lazio . However, the midfielder cannot represent another club this season as he has played in two countries - England and Wales - this term and FIFA don't allow a third. Morrison only made two appearances under Hammers boss Sam Allardyce this season; with his last outing coming in a 3-1 home defeat to Southampton back on August 31. A series of disciplinary problems had hampered his progress at Upton Park and he was loaned to Birmingham, Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City - with his three-month deal at the latter cut short earlier in December. However, the England Under 21 international will now look to resume his career in Italy next season. Like our Barcelona Facebook page.

Two men who murdered a friend after getting him to drunkenly perform humiliating \u2018Jackass-style stunts\u2019 - including rubbing chilli into his privates - are facing life behind bars. Neill Buchel, 39, was beaten to death by Elvis Kwiatkowski, 36, and Chas Quye, 36, before his body was hacked into ten pieces and thrown into a lake in Essex. The Old Bailey heard that the South African had willingly taken part in the violent games based on the hit TV series. But the extreme 'pranks' were often filmed by drinking buddies Scott \u2018Gary\u2019 Hunt, 42, and Quye, who could be heard laughing hysterically as he set fire to his own pubic hair, ate chillies and was shot at with a BB gun while wearing women\u2019s underwear in clips shown to court. In one clip they sing the Kings of Leon hit Sex on Fire as Mr Buchel rubs a scotch bonnet chilli pepper on his genitals. His remains were discovered in White Hart lakes, in Dagenham, by a young fisherman on 1 April last year. The court heard that the young man had mistaken Mr Buchel's severed left thigh for a dead fish and had poked the body part with a stick. The rest of his body was recovered more than a fortnight after he had been reported missing by his worried family. Mr Buchel, known as \u2018Southy\u2019, moved into a flat with Hunt after splitting up from his wife in December 2013 and the housemates would drink with Quye, who lived in a block of flats next to their building. Their drinking sessions at Quye\u2019s home would involve playing a game they called \u2018Jackass-style stunts\u2019, based on the US TV series. Mr Buchel was a willing participant in the stunts, but often bore the brunt of the injuries sustained. Before the clips were played in court, Mr Justice Spencer warned the jury: \u2018Steel yourselves for watching something unpleasant, but no more unpleasant than one sees on television in its extreme form these days.\u2019 Mr Buchel's estranged wife Sharon cried as she told the court about an incident on 13 December 2013, just four weeks after her ex-husband had moved in to Hunt\u2019s flat. Mr Buchel was attacked by Hunt and Quye before being hit around the face with dumbbell weights. \u2018He looked terrible\u2019, Mrs Buchel said. \u2018He looked like somebody from Star Wars. His head was swollen like a watermelon...his eyeballs were bleeding.

Property tycoon Elie Taktouk claimed the \u00a35.5million sale of the family home in central London to a company owned by Fabregas was at least \u00a32million under value and sued his ex-wife Daniella Semaan for compensation. But Deputy Judge Richard Snowden QC said such a claim 'has no real prospect of success' and dismissed it. He said the claim 'is yet another court battle between Mr Taktouk and Ms Semaan arising out of the breakdown of their marriage in 2011 which led to their acrimonious divorce in 2013.' Cesc Fabregas's girlfriend, Daniella Semaan (left with Chelsea player), has won a High Court battle with her ex-husband, Elie Taktouk (right) after she sold her former marital home to the footballer . The judge said Mr Tartouk still owed Ms Semaan nearly \u00a31million of a lump sum in a divorce order and legal costs of more than \u00a3500,000. Ms Semaan, 39, is currently pregnant with Fabregas's second daughter. They already have toddler, Lia, born in 2013. In January last year, Family Division judge Mr Justice Coleridge gave the go-ahead for the sale of the former family home in Belgravia to a Spanish firm Zirrintza owned by Mr Fabregas. In a preceding hearing, Mr Taktouk had claimed the property was being sold at 'significant undervalue', claiming it was worth up to \u00a310million and at least \u00a37million. But in allowing the sale, the judge said Mr Taktouk 'has a history of lacking credibility'. Deputy Judge Snowden said he had failed in a bid to appeal a previous ruling and had now launched these new proceedings. But he still owed his Lebanese born ex-wife almost \u00a31million ordered to be paid as part of a \u00a31.4million lump sum in divorce proceedings, the court heard. Ms Semaan originally hooked up with Fabregas in Spain when he played with Barcelona and she took her two children, aged 14 and 10, by Mr Taktouk with her. A row centred on a property in this London street, where Ms Semaan and Mr Tartouk used to live . Ms Semaan flew to Spain to be with Fabregas when he played for Barcelona. They have since had a daughter . They returned to London last summer after the player's \u00a327million move to Chelsea. In a previous case, Mr Justice Coleridge ordered the sale of the Grade II listed flat in April 2013 when Mr Taktouk was ordered to pay his ex wife \u00a31.4million to buy a new home. He claimed that if Mr Fabregas bought the former home she would end up staying there and have \u00a31.4million in the bank. He also claimed a higher price was achievable. Also in April 2013, Mr Taktouk lost his bid to appeal against the financial settlement when he claimed that Fabregas would be keeping her in the future. The judge said Taktouk was financed by his wealthy father. Since then Mr Taktouk and his father undertook to pay", "summary": "Daniella Semaan left Elie Taktouk for Fabregas when he was in Spain .

Police found the knock-off bottles contained three toxic ingredients- any one of which would have forced the drinker to have to seek immediate medical attention.

Victims described him as a 'charmer' who they felt they could trust and said they were left feeling gullible and angry.

Prime Minister David Cameron has been urged to drop his pledge to reduce net migration to 'tens of thousands' ahead of the election by senior Tories . 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 . Mr Cameron has conceded defeat on his pledge but he and Home Secretary Theresa May insist they will try to hit the sub-100,000 target if they stay in power. The issue has caused divisions at the top of the Tory Party with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Chancellor George Osborne reportedly expressing their doubts. A friend of Mr Osborne said his \u2018instincts are very different\u2019 from Mr Cameron\u2019s. Ken Clarke, who has served as a minister under Mr Cameron, said the entire pledge had been a mistake. \u2018We will have to drop the target,\u2019 he told the Times newspaper. \u2018It would not be possible to achieve it without damaging our economy quite severely. \u2018I\u2019m afraid that the net migration target has proved to be a mistake.\u2019 Baroness Warsi, the former foreign office minister, warned that the failure to meet the target risked undermining the Conservatives\u2019 wider credibility. \u2018If you set yourself unrealistic targets you are setting yourself up to fail and, in the long term, turn the whole thing into a bigger issue by fuelling the perception that the Government can\u2019t get a grip,\u2019 she said. Dropping the target will fuel the feeling among Eurosceptic backbenchers that the only way to cut immigration is to leave the European Union. Mr Cameron has acknowledged that the reason immigrants want to come to Britain is because of the recovering economy and strong prospects of work. He has spoken of the need for reform of free movement rules in the EU, but the leaders of other member states, particularly Germany\u2019s Angela Merkel, have made it clear they will not budge on this point. Former minister Ken Clarke has said that the entire migration pledge has been a mistake and not possible to achieve without damaging the country's economy . The latest figures, which put net migration at 298,000 for the year ending in last September, would have exceeded 100,000 even without immigration from within Europe. Polls suggest the public are increasingly concerned about levels of immigration, which has fuelled support for Ukip.

According to figures recorded between 2012 and 2014, blacks were also twice as likely to be searched than whites during traffic stops, though contraband showed up more during searches of white drivers. A Justice Department investigation has found patterns of racial bias in the Ferguson police department and at the municipal jail and court. The full report will be publicly released March 4 . Justice Department staff interviewed hundreds of average citizens as part of the six-month probe, concluding that a large portion of Ferguson's population mistrusts the local police force and considers it illegitimate . Report will show that 88 per cent of people against whom police used excessive force were African-American . Holder also said that charges for minor violations such as 'manner of walking in roadway' disproportionately affected black residents and were used 'not as a public service, but as a tool for raising revenue.' Nationwide protests of police actions that resulted in deaths of African Americans in Ferguson, New York and Cleveland laid bare racial tensions and what President Barack Obama called 'simmering distrust' between police and communities. Black offenders are also less likely to have their cases dismissed by a municipal judge and they are more likely to be taken into custody on outstanding warrants during traffic stops, compared to their white counterparts.

The poster by students at the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore details things that a bad girl does in India . The project came about after the pupils were given an assignment to contrast different images from popular culture. They decided to base a poster on an Indian old print from the 1980's that listed the good things an 'Ideal Boy' does, including 'greeting your parents', 'eat meals on time' and 'get up early'. In contrast, the new poster made by the students shows that a bad girl 'can't make round rotis', 'has breasts', and 'falls in love in a park.' The group also made a poster that lists things that bad girls own, including a pregnancy test, condoms and cigarettes, but some of the items are far more innocent, including an iPhone, lipstick, and a short skirt. They also created a posted that detailed the items a bad girl owns . The assignment was given by teacher Alison Byres, who told the Wall Street Journal that her her students regularly bring up the topic of a 'Bad Girl' in her classes nowadays. She said: 'It seems like there\u2019s nothing you can do to be the perfect girl because being a girl itself appears to be the problem.'

The massive operation involving more than 30,000 Iraqi Army soldiers is succeeding in forcing ISIS militants from the city, which is the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Local officials confirmed that Iraqi troops entered Qadisiya, and penetrated the northern suburbs, raising the Iraqi flag over Tikrit's general hospital. Scroll down for video . A member of the Iraqi forces poses with an Iraqi flag in Tikrit - taking the city would open a supply line for a future operation to besiege Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city that still remains under ISIS control . Iraqi forces entered the city and succeeded in driving out ISIS terrorists from the crucial stronghold . Later today, Iraqi forces (including the military, militias, Sunni tribes and police) also entered Tikrit from the south in a pincer movement to try and drive out the terrorists, although many fled in the face of the advance. 'The terrorists are seizing the cars of civilians trying to leave the city and they are trying to make a getaway,' Kheyon Rasheed told the state-run Iraqiyya television. Tikrit, which lies midway between regime-capital Baghdad and the ISIS stronghold of Mosul, was taken by ISIS in June. Retaking the ISIS stronghold is considered vital if government forces are to succeed in their plan to force ISIS out of the oil rich city of Mosul, the terror group's Iraqi power base which lies just 140 miles north of Tikrit on Highway 1 - a road that effectively marks the front line in northern Iraq. Most residents of Tikrit fled in the months after the extremist group took control. Those who stayed have fled in recent days, but a tiny fraction are still there, awaiting their fate. Iraq forces entered ISIS-held Tikrit city centre from Qadisiya in the north and also from the south - the terrorists still hold the town of al-Alam, north of Tikrit university .

Taking Tikrit would open a supply line for a future operation to besiege Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city that still remains under ISIS control . Tikrit would be the biggest victory yet for Iraqi forces, but the attack by thousands of Shi'ite irregulars could severely test the government's ability to handle sectarian divisions. Iraq is bitterly split between minority Sunnis, who were an important base of support for Saddam Hussein, and the Shi'ite majority. Since the Islamic State insurgency began, the Iraqi military is heavily dependent on Shi'ite militias that have been accused of abusing Sunni communities elsewhere in Iraq. US military officials - who have not been involved in the ongoing Tikrit offensive - have that said a coordinated military mission to retake Mosul is likely to take place next month or two and involve up to 25,000 Iraqi troops.

Latest polls suggest the SNP will gain dozens of seats in Scotland, depriving Labour of a majority and able to call the shots in Westminster.

The Tories said it was proof the SNP would 'sabotage the democratic will of the British people' to install Mr Miliband in Downing Street. Speaking to the New Statesman magazine, Mr Salmond said the SNP could enter a 'confidence and supply' arrangement with Labour - under which the smaller party would agree not to bring down a minority government in return for concessions on particular priorities. But he said it was more probable that it would offer its support on a vote-by-vote basis and would make amendments to any budget put forward by Ed Balls to introduce 'progressive tax measures'.

Mr Salmond rejected Labour's argument that the party with the most seats after the May 7 poll will have the opportunity to form the government, insisting that the key question is which leader can command a majority in the Commons. 'The Tories would have to go straight effectively for a vote of confidence - usually the Queen's Speech, although it could be otherwise, of course, and we'd be voting against,' said Mr Salmond. 'So if Labour joins us in that pledge, then that's Cameron locked out.

In this case, the organ came from a donor after their heart and lungs had stopped functioning. Surgeons at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire restored function to the heart before placing it on an Organ Care System to maintain its quality before it was transplanted. It is the first time such a procedure has been performed in Europe. Surgeons at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire restored function to the heart before placing it on an Organ Care System to maintain its quality before it was transplanted to 60-year-old Huseyin Ulucan from London . Recipient Huseyin Ulucan, 60, from London, who underwent surgery earlier this month, had a heart attack in 2008. He said: \u2018Before the surgery, I really had no quality of life. Now I\u2019m feeling stronger every day.\u2019 The hospital said Mr Ulucan was making \u2018remarkable progress\u2019 after spending only four days in its critical care unit before being allowed to go home. Currently not everyone who needs a heart transplant can have one due to there not being enough suitable ones available. However, it is hoped that by using non-beating hearts, the number of people able to have heart transplants could increase by up to 25 per cent in the UK alone, saving hundreds of lives. Last year, surgeons in Australia performed the world\u2019s first transplant using a non-beating heart. Consultant surgeon Stephen Large, who led the Papworth transplant team, said: \u2018The use of this group of donor hearts could increase heart transplantation by up to 25 per cent in the UK alone.\u2019 There have been 171 heart transplant in the past 12 months in the UK. But demand exceeds supply, and some patients have to wait up to three years for a suitable organ, with many dying on the waiting list. Non-beating-heart donors provide kidneys, livers and other organs, but until now it has not been possible to use the heart because of concerns it would suffer damage. Huseyin Ulucan, from London (pictured with wife Meryem), who became the first person in Europe to receive the surgery following a heart attack in 2008, said he is 'feeling stronger every day' following the operation . Mr Large added: \u2018This is a very exciting development.

British model and It girl Alexa Chung wore the M&S suede skirt to a celebrity-studded launch party in London.

But despite the seemingly attractive offer, Britain's poultry industry is struggling to recruit and is now facing a staff shortage that is threatening exports. The problem, according to one industry chief, lies in the nature of the job: sexers spend 12 hours a day 'staring at the backside of a chick'. And each new recruit must spend three years learning how to do it. Scroll down for video . Chicken sexers: Workers spot the 'minuscule differences' in the size and shape of each one-day-old chick's genitalia - known as its 'vent' - to determine whether it will be a rooster, or will one day lay eggs . Andrew Large, chief executive of the British Poultry Council, added that another part of the problem is that the awareness of the role is not as high as it could be. Each future 'chick sexer' receives years in training in how to spot 'minuscule differences' in the size and shape of a newly-hatched chick's genitalia to determine whether it will be a rooster or a hen. They are expected to be able to sort between 800 and 1,200 day-old old chicks an hour - between three and five seconds a chick - with an accuracy of 97 or 98 per cent. This must be done for as long as it takes to fill an order, which can be up to 13 hours. And each chick must have its genitalia - known as its 'vent' - checked without being harmed, Mr Large told The Times. Delicate: Each chick must be handled with care . Although the checking technique can be taught relatively quickly, the ability to maintain standards for such long periods at such level of intensity has to be developed over a longer time. In 2013 the industry failed to recruit a single 'vent chick sexer' and asked for the job to be added to an official government list of occupations with staff shortages. Mr Large told The Times: 'It takes three years to train someone so they develop the sensitivity and dexterity to reliably sex the bird and a lot of people don't want to spend that amount of time training. 'I think the problem is the job itself. You are spending hours every day staring at the backside of a chick. That is not seen as being attractive. 'In southeast Asia a chick sexer is a high status job. In the UK it is more likely to be the butt of humour.' There are an estimated 100 to 150 chick sexers in the country but a shortage of 15 workers means the industry risks losing overseas clients. But the Migration Management Committee, who advises the government on whether a job should be added to the shortage list, ruled that chick sexing should not be included.

The Layton, Utah, student, now 18, testified at a hearing Thursday that he had sex with Altice before and after she was arrested in October 2013 for having a sexual relationship with another student, The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Multiple counts: One of the three victims Brianne Altice is accused of assaulting was forced to testify Monday and begrudgingly revealed he'd had sex with Altice after her arrest on charges she's assaulted another boy. A judge ruled Monday the former English teacher will stand trial separately for each alleged sexual relationship . Teen also testified that he considered her to be his girlfriend during a yearlong relationship involving sexual intercourse and oral sex. Altice also sent the boy a text message with a photograph of her breasts in June 2014, authorities said. After hearing testimony from the teen and several other witnesses, Judge John Morris in 2nd District Court found probable cause for Altice to stand trial.

Her willingness to continue to commit felony sexual offenses while on bail causes great concern that this defendant will continue and be a danger to the community.' Her own attorney argued she was no danger because of the alleged victim's age, reports the Tribune. 'She doesn't present a danger to anyone,' attorney Edward Brass said. 'That young man is an adult. In the end, the judge ordered Altice to stay jailed. Bail had been revoked after allegations she had sex with the third victim following her arrest.

Daily Mail Australia has been provided with first look at the items found during the operation, which sources say was sparked by concerns from security teams inside the facility, who'd recently witnessed suspicious activity within the grounds and feared an attack against guards was imminent.

The raids uncovered sharp utensils, wrapped up and hidden inside laundry powder tubs as well as more than a dozen mobile phones. These are contraband items found inside one of the unit complexes . Behind the barbed wire fences at Villawood Detention Centre, security officials had recently become concerned by suspicious activities by some detainees . There hasn't been a major disturbance inside the centre for almost four years, when several asylum seekers sparked a full-scale riot and the complex was set alight. More than 500 people are housed inside Villawood at any given time. During the search, officers found garden shears wrapped up and concealed inside laundry powder tubs. Seized items also included drugs and drug paraphernalia, such as pipes and syringes. Officials also uncovered up to a dozen smart phones, which are prohibited and are still investigating how they were smuggled in. Deputy Secretary, Immigration Status Resolution Group, Cindy Briscoe said the Department is determined to stamp out the presence of illegal items inside detention centres. 'The Australian community has an expectation that we continue to maintain the safety and security of our detention centres,' Ms Brisco said.

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 selfie stick for tablets (pictured) allows people to take photos and films of themselves using their iPad \u2013 if their smartphone screen isn\u2019t large enough . 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. The set comes with an attachment head for the tablet, a reinforced selfie stick and a remote control. Users can deploy it to see themselves in more detail as they are taking a snap, or to make it easier to include themselves in large groups pictures. The head comprises an adjustable rubber clamp that the company claims can hold all sizes of tablets and smartphones securely. \u2018The durable selfie stick is built strong, so your tablet or phone will be safe and secured in the air when you are taking a selfie,\u2019 the website says.

As well as taking close-ups, users could make use of the stick to include impressive views or large groups of people in their shots (some examples are shown above) On the end of a strap is a standard quarter-inch (0.5cm) mount into which the stick itself can be attached. It extends up to 3ft (1m) to 'give your device the best photo taking coverage.' However, the tablet may appear heavier when it's held away from the body and could be difficult to keep still, so not to take blurry photos. The company says of its bundle: 'No matter where you may be, you are sure to get everyone and neighbouring surroundings in the picture'. In order to help users hold the stick still, there's a Bluetooth remote control that comes with the bundle to make taking pictures slightly easier, without the need of setting timers. It\u2019s compatible with iPhone and Android handsets. Customers can also buy the strap on its own for $10 (\u00a37), but run the risk of using it with an insufficiently strengthened stick, which could end in an expensive accident.

The father, who cannot be named legally, is on trial at Sydney's Downing Centre District Court charged with procuring a child for unlawful sexual activity and with being an accessory before the fact of sexual intercourse with a child. He took the stand at Sydney's Downing Centre District Court today and recounted the day of the Islamic wedding ceremony at his Hunter Valley home between his child and a 26-year-old Lebanese national on January 12 last year, according to the Daily Telegraph. Scroll down for video . A 27-year-old man (pictured) has been sentenced to at least seven and a half years behind bars for marrying and sexually assaulting a 12 year old girl. Now her father is on trial for agreeing to the arrangement because he discovered that his daughter was' menstruating and interested in boys' a court heard . The man admitted to the court he told his daughter not to take the pill so 'she didn't get breast cancer', and said he had heard about its dangers through the McGrath Foundation. \u201cI say it all the time,\u201d he said.

'He was upset because we might be in trouble,' the girl said. '(My father) knows no marriage under the age of 16. 'Because he says to me the law here is stupid, girls your age should be allowed to get married and have intercourse. 'He said we didn't do anything wrong, we were just following religion.' Her father said her husband, now 27, 'shouldn't be put away', and that they were 'just following religion'. The girl, now 14, said in her father's religion, marriage was allowed once the girl got her period and having sex before marriage was punishable by stoning or death in Islamic countries. '(Premarital sex) is actually one of the worst things you can do,' she said. The court also heard the girl and her husband had sex 'once or twice' a day after they were married. They also spent five nights staying at her father's house. The girl also detailed the motivation for the marriage being organised, which was her reaching puberty. In the video interview shown to the court, she said she understood puberty to be 'blood...when I got my period'. She also said her father told her not to take birth control pills, and that her father reminded her not to let her husband wear a condom.

A paedophile who groomed a 14-year-old schoolgirl with money and presents has been jailed for four years. Craig O'Neill, 26, was caught at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, with his victim after her parents tracked him down through Facebook. Police also discovered a vile collection of indecent images of children and extreme pornography on his home computer. O'Neill was jailed for four years after he pleaded guilty to a series of charges including child abduction at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court, yesterday. There was no evidence that there was any sexual contact between the pair, but Judge Potter said that O'Neill was 'very close to getting what he desired... sexual gratification'. He said: 'I have no doubt that what you were doing that night were acts that were designed by you to encourage her.' O'Neill, a former chimney sweep, first connected with the girl on Facebook and the pair met twice in June 2013. He gave her \u00a3400 in cash on the first occasion then bought her clothing, pyjamas and \u00a3100 Ugg boots in Manchester. The girl, who cannot be named, had told her mother that she was meeting a friend at McDonald's but went to O'Neill's house that night where they drank vodka and he smoked cannabis. Andy Smith, prosecuting, said her mother became anxious after she said she wanted to stay out and then turned her phone off. Her mother alerted her friends and a message she had sent to one of them on Facebook revealed her location to be on O'Neill's street. Police officers attended with her mother, but they didn't know his exact address. The girl's parents returned shortly after 6am the next morning and knocked on doors until a neighbour pointed them in the right direction. Found: The schoolgirl's parents used Facebook to track her to O'Neill's home on this Manchester street . Mr Smith said O'Neill answered the door in shorts and a T-shirt and that the girl's parents recognised him from their daughter's Facebook account. He said: 'O'Neill said he had not touched her. Her dad ran upstairs and pushed the bedroom door open. She was there. She was wearing the pyjamas he had bought her.' The police were alerted and O'Neill was arrested. The court heard that in interviews, he accepted that he knew she was 14. Analysis of his computer revealed a collection of indecent images of children and extreme pornography had been downloaded. Following the conviction yesterday, the girl's mother spoke of her terror and issued a chilling warning to parents over the dangers of Facebook. She said: 'She knows now how dangerous the situation was. You never know who people really are on Facebook. Parents should never take their eyes off their children's computer use. 'My daughter is quiet and sensible but not very streetwise. I just cannot understand how this happened under my nose. I cannot forgive myself really.

Ed Miliband has said he will take part in all three televised leaders' debate during the election campaign - the day after David Cameron flatly refused. The Labour leader's campaign chairman Douglas Alexander confirmed in a letter to broadcaster that Mr Miliband was prepared to appear. His willingness to appear is in stark contrast with that of Mr Cameron, who last night made it clear he was willing to do one seven-way debate at the end of March, but no more. Meanwhile, the four broadcasters - the BBC, ITV, Sky and Channel 4 - announced they will stick to their previously-announced plans for three debates during the election campaign. In a joint statement, the broadcasters said they would stick to plans for a seven-way debate involving Mr Cameron, Labour's Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg of the Lib Dems and the leaders of the Greens, Ukip, Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru on ITV on April 2. This would be followed by a second show on BBC featuring the same line-up on April 16 and a final one-on-one clash between the Tory and Labour leaders on Sky News and Channel 4 on April 30 - exactly a week before the May 7 election. They urged the Prime Minister to 'reconsider' his refusal to take part in these shows. But Mr Cameron's chief spin doctor Craig Oliver said their response was 'disappointing' and restated the Prime Minister's 'final position' was for a single debate to take place in the week starting March 23. In a speech to his party's Scottish conference Mr Miliband is expected to say: 'Today the Labour Party has written to the broadcasters saying with or without David Cameron, I will be at the debates. 'And every day up to these debates he [Mr Cameron] will be asked: what are you hiding from?' Mr Miliband is expected to use his conference speech to accuse Mr Cameron of 'duplicity' and of trying to 'chicken out' of the debates. He will say: 'This is what David Cameron used to say about TV election debates: that they were essential to our democracy. Contrast: The Labour leader's confirmation is in contrast to David Cameron's refusal to take part .

Lord Baker of Dorking said a deal between the two largest parties could be necessary to ensure the 'continuing unity' of the UK. The former MP said such an agreement could avoid the 'nightmare' of a minority Labour administration depending on SNP support to govern - something which could 'stretch the constitution of our country to breaking point'.

It was the first in a string of five shootings, including one at a National Security Agency building, that had central Maryland police on high alert for more than a week.

The national side have played overseas on a Sunday in the past, most recently in their opening Euro 2016 qualifier in Hungary, but this weekend will break new ground in Belfast.

The complaints were believed to have prompted a decision by the temple\u2019s owner that new toilet facilities due to open would be made unavailable for Chinese tourists, according to People\u2019s Daily. But, responding to online criticism, owner Chalermchai Kositpipat \u2013 who stressed he is \u2018three quarters Chinese but cannot speak the language\u2019 \u2013 said everyone would be allowed to use the new facilities.

And, keen to remain whiter-than-white, the temple had become concerned with reports that foul messes left behind by a minority of guests had made it difficult for others to use the toilets. Chalermchai Kositpipat said the temple originally had two bathrooms and had recently built a third one about 200 metres away from its popular 'golden toilet', reported China Daily.

+{"article": "Being compared to a household utensil is probably not every Premier League footballer\u2019s idea of a compliment, but when Tim Sherwood called Fabian Delph Aston Villa\u2019s Hoover he meant it with affection Kim and Aggie would appreciate. You know, the pair from that show that used to be on Channel 4, How Clean is Your House? Never mind. Roy Hodgson is another who recognises the need for an instrument in his England machine capable of covering large ground to suck up danger. It is why Hodgson handed Delph his international debut last August and is liable to pick the 25-year-old again. Fabian Delph has been likened to a Hoover vacuum cleaner his ability to suck up balls by Tim Sherwood . Delph covers a huge amount of ground in midfield and has been brilliant in Aston Villa's recent resurgence . Tim Sherwood has helped to turn Villa - and particularly Delph - around and improve their form of late . Hodgson names his squad for the forthcoming matches against Lithuania and Italy on Thursday and has been given reason of late to select Delph. As Villa\u2019s season drifted into the mire under Paul Lambert, Delph\u2019s form was a concern. Unable to impact games in a meaningful fashion, a continuation of his England career following two months out after shoulder surgery seemed uncertain. Delph was not doing anything particularly wrong, just not much special. His last three games however, since Sherwood shook the club by its neck, have seen that spark return. He scored his first goal of the season with an arrowed finish against West Bromwich Albion in that FA Cup quarter-final, he assisted his second goal of the season with a cross for Scott Sinclair against Stoke, and he has driven Villa forward with regularity. Sherwood's arrival at the club in place of Paul Lambert has changed Delph from a concern to an asset . Delph scored his first goal of the season in Villa's FA Cup quarter-final win over West Bromwich Albion . Delph's sweet strike got one over Villa's local rivals in a high-intensity game that suited the midfielder . There were reasons Villa fans mobbed him so feverishly during the West Brom pitch invasion: a goal, a combative performance, a freshly-inked contract. In that moment he was the personification of hope for the season climax and beyond. Supporters wanted a piece (quite literally in some cases when kisses turned to bites). Delph is a willing runner \u2013 hitting an average 10.59km per game, second only to Ashley Westwood in the squad \u2013 but has undoubtedly benefitted from Sherwood\u2019s front foot policy. Earlier this season Delph would emit energy largely across the width of the pitch, now it is up and down. Delph could end up back in Roy Hodgson's England squad after his recent resurgence in form . Touch maps supplied by Opta illustrate the point. In the 2-0 defeat to Hull, Lambert\u2019s last match in charge, Delph was in possession 92 times, 46 in each half. In the 4-0 victory over Sunderland, he had 112 touches, 41", "summary": "Tim Sherwood referred to Fabian Delph as Aston Villa's midfield 'Hoover' It was an affectionate term, referring to his ability to suck up danger .

Dean Boswell and Stephen John were found dead in their beds the morning after they both attended a party in Pembroke Dock, West Wales. Another friend was hospitalised after falling ill from taking the same substance, believed to be a synthetic psychoactive drug.

Death: Dean Boswell, left, and Stephen John, right, died after taking a legal high at a house party . Health officials have warned that legal highs are becoming stronger, leading to a rise in the number of people being hospitalised after taking them. A friend said that the three men were at a party together 10 days ago where several people took legal highs, before they returned to their separate homes. She said: 'There were a group having a good time together on Friday night and it appears Dean and Stephen took some kind of legal high which has ended up killing them. 'It is so tragic as both of them were so full of life and had everything to live for.' Mr Boswell's mother Wynfrai said that she found her son dead in his bedroom on the morning of her 59th birthday, and vowed to use his funeral this week to alert others to the dangers of drugs. 'Dean wasn't a heavy drug user - he maybe had the odd smoke,' she said. 'I suspect they thought they were invincible.

'Something has to be done about the people who sell drugs and the deaths that are happening in the town. The family was previously struck by tragedy when Mr Boswell's sister died on Valentine's Day a few years ago. In recent years, there has been a huge surge in the number of deaths linked to legal highs. 97 people were found dead with the substances in their system in 2012, up from 12 in 2009. It means the toll has risen by eight times in three years. In around two-thirds of cases, the post-mortem examination established that the legal high was the direct cause of death. Ministers have already introduced bans on some former legal highs, including mephedrone - known as meow meow - NBOMe and Benzofury. A ban on synthetic stimulant mephedrone came into force across the UK in 2010. The drug is now a Class B substance, along with its associated compounds.

Melissa Whiting told officials she lived alone with her three children and raked in income support, housing benefit and council tax relief, a court heard. But in reality, she was sharing her Darlington home with boyfriend Mark Briscoe - a former soldier working in private security in the Middle East. In one year, he was able to deposit \u00a39,000 into his 33-year-old girlfriend's account - all the while claiming benefits, using them as a 'financial safety net'. It also enabled her to pay for family holidays to Majorca and Bulgaria, as well as a \u00a31,000-plus sofa, fridge, washing machine, flooring and a Sky subscription. Her deception was discovered in 2013, although she initially denied being in a relationship with Mr Briscoe. However, her neighbours knew they were a couple, and Teesside Crown Court heard Mr Briscoe also had his car registered at the Darlington property, and his pension correspondence from the army went there. Eventually, Whiting admitted two charges of failing to notify a change in circumstances, and yesterday she was given a two-month suspended prison sentence.

He, a novice in such entanglements, is now negotiating his own future, albeit with the help of a lady lawyer of impeccable and long-standing loyalty to the family. We are told by Mercedes that a new contract to replace the one that expires at the end of the season is a formality. Hamilton has said he wants to sign it. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton celebrates his win at the season-opening race in Melbourne, Australia - but is yet to sign a new deal with the team . Hamilton's current Mercedes contract runs out at the end of this season and no new deal has been agreed yet . Yet four months after he won the world championship in Abu Dhabi, there is only one important fact: no deal has been concluded. This is strange. It is literally only an afternoon\u2019s job sorting out the terms of a contract if there is a willingness on both sides to tie it all up. So why the delay? It may be that Hamilton is holding out for the salary he wants. It is not \u00a31million a week he seeks, despite some reports to the contrary. It is probably about \u20ac1m \u2013 or the piffling matter of \u00a3720,000 according to the current exchange rate. Perhaps the two sides will yet come to a mutually agreeable financial arrangement. But, as one of my mentors advised me about the chicanery of the paddock, there is a reason behind everything in Formula One. Mercedes say a new contract is a formality while Hamilton says he wants ti sign, so why the delay? Hamilton celebrates his Australian GP win in front of second-placed Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel . I hope that the delay is because Hamilton is seeking a move to Ferrari. Madness? No. By the end of the season, he hopes to have emulated his hero Ayrton Senna in winning three world titles \u2013 the number that most clearly defines a driver\u2019s status in the pantheon. What has he got to lose? Such is Senna\u2019s immortal fame that here in Australia, from where I write this, Senna\u2019s face is still emblazoned on billboards advertising Tag Heuer watches. Never mind that he died in 1994. Before his fatal accident at the San Marino Grand Prix, Senna, as has since become common knowledge, talked to Ferrari about racing for them. I suspect scratching the itch that Senna could not - namely, competing for the sport\u2019s most evocative marque - would mean more to Hamilton than the possibility of clocking up win after win, title after title. He has never been a chaser of records for their own sake. That kind of thing is for Vettel and the birds. Vettel joined Ferrari ahead of the new season after six seasons driving for Red Bull .

O'Neill said: \"We're eight (points) ahead of Finland, eight at least ahead of Greece (who play Hungary later on Sunday), we've still got a cushion over Hungary and we have a game in June where a win will take us top of the group. \"We're looking forward to a good week or 10 days with the players and hopefully a similar performance.

June Buttle, 56, killed her 'domineering' partner of ten years Thomas Groome, 54, by hitting him over the head with a piece of wood before his body was dismembered and burned, a court heard. She then used his Facebook account to try and convince his family that he had run away to Portugal where he was living the single life and wanted nothing more to do with them. Sheffield Crown Court heard Buttle then tried to access Mr Groome's bank accounts where he had stored 150,000 Euros he was awarded after being abused in a care home as a child. June Buttle, 56 (left), has been jailed for 16 years after admitting killing partner of ten years Thomas Groome, 54, then posing as him on Facebook before trying to steal his money . Today Buttle was jailed for 16 years after admitting manslaughter, with Mrs Justice Andrews telling her: 'You lied so much and so continually that it is difficult to separate the truth from the fiction.' Mr Groome had been in a long-term relationship with Buttle, but the court heard that it was sexually abusive, and that Mr Groome had often forced her into prostitution. Mr Groome was a car salesman by trade, but often had little to live on, staying in friends' houses and caravans, often without heating or running water. But in 2009 he was awarded 150,000 Euros compensation by a court after he was found to have been abused in a care home in County Offaly, Ireland. The court heard that Mr Groome had used the money to buy a caravan and two cars, and had planned to use the money to move to Portugal and open a bar. However, three days before he died Mr Groome got into an argument with Buttle after she refused to move abroad, and accused him of keeping the money from her. The court was told he flew into a rage after she refused to have sex with him and stormed off. Three days later, on New Year's Day 2010, Buttle and her son, Jason Thaxter, beat Mr Groome over the head with two pieces of wood, before rolling his body up in a carpet, the court heard. It is not known exactly what became of the body, but Buttle is reported to have told friends that Mr Thaxter cut the corpse into pieces before burning it on a bonfire. However, Buttle has refused to tell police what happened and the Crown Prosecution Service said that there was not enough evidence to charge Mr Thaxter with disposing of the body. After Mr Groome disappeared Buttle began posting status updates on his Facebook page pretending to be him, and claiming he was still alive. She falsely suggested he had run off with a younger woman in Portugal and didn\u2019t want to contact his family because he thought they were after his money.

More than a dozen dangerous offenders committed terrorism offences while on bail, damning figures have revealed. In the last three years, 13 suspects allowed to walk free for other offences were arrested for breaching anti-terror laws. The figures, obtained by MailOnline, also show the shocking scale of offences committed by suspects on bail, with one crime every five minutes. It is likely that the 13 terrorists were allowed to walk free after committing minor crimes before then being caught endangering national security, legal experts say. The staggering figures, released by the Ministry of Justice under Freedom of Information laws, show that nearly 350,000 offences were committed on bail in the last three years. This equates to one offence every five minutes - sparking yet more fears about the state of Britain's justice system. The statistics raise further questions over the monitoring of terror suspects, such as jihadist Choukri Ellekhlifi, who fled to Syria in 2012 while he was on bail for a spate of violent muggings in London. Ellekhlifi, 22, threatened victims with a Taser-style high-voltage stun gun and forced them to hand over valuables including designer watches and mobile phones, but fled the country before he could face trial. He is believed to have been two years below Mohammed Emwazi - revealed last week to be Jihadi John - at Quintin Kynaston school in north west London and was killed in 2013 near the city of Aleppo. Emwazi was himself on a terror watch list when he travelled to Syria and the Government has admitted that hundreds of ISIS extremists 'slipped through the net' and were not properly monitored by the security services. The figures also make for a chilling comparison to Sydney siege gunman Man Haron Monis, who was on bail in Australia when he took 17 hostages captive in a cafe before killing two. Tory MP Nick de Bois, a member of the Commons Justice Committee, said: 'Any hint that someone may be involved in terrorism and who is facing criminal charges must be remanded in prison - no ifs no buts. 'We have to accept that bail conditions are not tough enough, leaving those with criminal intent to wander our streets. 'If courts are not going to remand defendants in jail then we should at least place them under 24-hour house arrest using electronic tagging to keep them at home rather than free to commit crime.' Ellekhlifi (right) was killed near Aleppo in 2013 alongside Mohammed el-Araj, from west London (left) Magistrates have been under mounting pressure in recent years to remand fewer suspects into custody to ease the burden on over-stretched prisons.

The agency has paid researchers $15,000 (around \u00a310,000) to develop a wireless device for monitoring water use in hotel room showers. 'Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world,' says a proposal on the EPA's website. The gadget will fit onto hotel shower fixtures and transmit data back to an accounting system using an app . 'Most hotels do not monitor individual guest water usage and as a result, millions of gallons of potable water are wasted every year by hotel guests.' Which is why they want to create an app to monitor the amount of water hotel guests are using - and, they hope, compel people to shorten their shower time by a minute. The gadget will fit onto existing hotel shower fixtures and transmit water usage data back to a central hotel accounting system using an app, which it is hoped will be doled out in major hotel chains. It will be made up of a flow metre, an embedded system and software, and a resource accounting system, and will allow hotel guests to monitor their daily water online or using a smartphone app. The EPA has paid researchers $15,000 (around \u00a310,000) to develop a wireless device for monitoring water use . The proposal will be marketed to the hotel industry to reduce costs by promoting water conservation among hotel guests. The current average length of shower is estimated to be 8.2 minutes or 17.2 gallons - but it's unknown how hotels will encourage guests to limit this. A spokesperson for the EPA told The Washington Free Beacon that calling for the device was not intended to enable the monitoring of guests shower time. 'It\u2019s ultimately up to hotels to use technology like the monitors being developed at the University of Tulsa.

A man who shot his dying wife 14 times as she was hanging from a noose can continue to live freely in Britain \u2013 after judges refused to extradite him. Branko Loncar, 55, has won a long legal battle against being returned to Croatia to serve four years in prison for attempted murder, despite committing further crimes, including an assault, while living in London. He earlier won asylum after complaining he had to flee Croatia because of anti-Serb discrimination \u2013 and his lawyers argued locals would persecute him over the shooting. Last week\u2019s High Court ruling is a sharp reminder that while the Government talks of ejecting foreign criminals, in practice the criminals routinely win the right to stay here. Loncar, who has been on benefits and had a drink problem since arriving in Britain with his two sons in 1999, made the extraordinary defence that he was not aiming at his wife when he fired repeatedly from a few yards away. In any case, his lawyers claimed, she died as a result of hanging herself, not because of the 14 bullets he \u2018accidentally\u2019 fired into her defenceless body. A Croatian court which heard the case in his absence rejected his defence, sentenced him to four years in prison, and ten years ago the country formally issued an international arrest warrant and requested his extradition from Britain. His lawyers first successfully fought against the extradition on human rights grounds, arguing that he had a new Serbian \u2018partner\u2019 in Britain \u2013 who actually lives a hundred miles away \u2013 and that he now had grandchildren in London. And last week British judges finished off the extradition bid for ever, giving Loncar the right to remain free here, after ruling it \u2018oppressive\u2019 to send him back to prison in Croatia after so long. He was also commended for raising his children alone after shooting his wife. Speaking in broken English to the Daily Mail last night at his housing association flat close to fashionable Camden in North London, Loncar said he had every right to remain in Britain, adding: \u2018Croatia is dangerous \u2013 they still want me there.\u2019 The case began in 1994, amid the chaos of the Balkan wars, when Loncar, an ethnic Serb and former soldier in the Yugoslavian army, lived with his wife Mirjana and two sons in the village of Ostrovo. The area was declared part of a Serbian republic but was also claimed by Croatia. UK court documents note: \u2018After a quarrel with his wife Mirjana, she went out of the house, stood on a ladder, took a rope and indicated she intended to kill herself. As she stood from the ladder and the noose tightened around her neck and rendered her unconscious, the defendant fired a number of bullets into her body. \u2018The cause of death was determined to be by strangulation but was accelerated by the injuries inflicted from the defendant\u2019s gun.

Sharper on Monday admitted to charges of sexual assault and attempted sexual assault arising from the 2013 Arizona case. He appeared in the Phoenix courtroom by video-conferencing from Los Angeles. Former NFL star Darren Sharper has been sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty . Sharper admitted to charges of sexual assault and attempted sexual assault arising from the 2013 case . Sharper also is expected to change his plea in person in Los Angeles on similar allegations. Similar hearings will follow in Las Vegas this week and in New Orleans in April. The Arizona and California cases, combined with others in Nevada and Louisiana, are likely to lead to a long prison sentence. In each state, Sharper was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting women when they were unconscious or otherwise unable to resist or consent. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Warren Granville said Sharper will serve his time in federal custody and that the Louisiana case will be resolved through a federal court. In Arizona, Sharper admitted sexually assaulting one victim, though police say he drugged and sexually assaulted three women, at an apartment in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe in November. The 39-year-old was part of the New Orleans Saints side which won the NFL Super Bowl XLIV in 2010 . Authorities say a search of the Tempe apartment turned up a shot glass with a white residue that turned out to be zolpidem, and California investigators discovered that Sharper had a prescription for the drug. Last year, Sharper's attorneys said their client did not make the drinks that authorities say he used to drug the women. One of the women told police she hadn't had any alcohol that night until Sharper insisted she drink a shot. Another young woman said she had been drugged, then went to bed, locked her door and wasn't attacked. The next day, one of the women confronted Sharper, who denied wrongdoing, according to the reports. The reports said Sharper was in Arizona to visit a woman who lived at the apartment.

He went on to star in a series of BBC dramas, such as Being Human, Him and Her and most recently Banished, while he is also well known to American audiences for his role as a gay man in the HBO series Looking. During an interview with The Observer at the weekend, he spoke of how disappointed he was as a teenager when his father refused to allow him to attend the famed Sylvia Young Theatre School in Marylebone, London.

'If I'd have been able to relax, prance around, sing in the street, I might be a different person now. 'I thank my dad for that, for not allowing me to go down that path.'

La Liga would look very different if the goals of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were taken away .

But if they and Messi's contribution of 27 goals were subtracted, it's Barcelona who would enjoy a slender one-point advantage at the summit.

Ronaldo celebrates one of his hat-trick of goals in Real's 3-0 home win over Celta Vigo in December . With Messi, Barcelona would still win all but one of the matches in which he has scored. That is the 3-2 home win over Villarreal last month, which would end in a draw. But taking away Ronaldo's goals affects Real's season more dramatically. The Portuguese scored four in the 5-1 home win over Elche, meaning they would only draw 1-1. Lionel Messi claims the match ball after his hat-trick in Barcelona's 5-1 rout of neighbours Espanyol . Messi's 27 league goals this season have seen him surpass the all-time La Liga scoring record . Messi celebrates with team-mates Pedro and Marc Bartra after scoring in the 5-0 rout of Levante last month .

Royal Mail has stepped up the amount of junk mail it stuffs through our doors since it was sold off by the Government, new figures show. More than 8.7million flyers were delivered by the company in the year following its privatisation \u2013 sparking fears that it risks becoming a \u2018leaflet distributor\u2019. In the 12 months after privatisation, postmen pushed almost 50,000 more leaflets and advertising letters through our doors every single day, compared to the previous year. It means almost 3.2bn items of \u2018unaddressed\u2019 junk mail were delivered in just one year \u2013 almost double the 1.7bn delivered annually five years ago. These figures do not even include the vast quantities of \u2018addressed\u2019 junk mail also delivered, which have the names of occupants on the envelope. The rise in unsolicited mail has proved lucrative for Royal Mail, which is struggling from increased competition in the parcels market and a fall in the number of ordinary letters being posted. Revenue from \u2018marketing mail\u2019 \u2013 addressed and unaddressed \u2013 has soared to \u00a31.1bn a year, earning them \u00a33million a day.

But much of unwanted junk mail is never opened and ends up being thrown straight into the bin \u2013 causing an environmental headache. While some households recycle takeaway menus and pamphlets, many tonnes of junk mail end up in landfill \u2013 costing councils tens of millions of pounds to dispose of. A spokesman for the Local Government Association said: \u2018Junk mail is a blight on the nation\u2019s doormats. \u2018Not only is it a nuisance to pick up and throw away, it adds thousands of tonnes to the waste councils have to pick up creating additional costs for tax payers. \u2018Royal Mail and its direct marketing clients have to do far more to reduce the torrent of junk mail.\u2019 Robert Rijkhoff, of the Stop Junk Mail campaign, said marketing mail was \u2018the worst form of advertising\u2019 because it was foisted upon households without their consent. He said: \u2018Royal Mail needs to make money but, if they deliver more and more junk mail as a source of income, in the long term I am not sure it is a sustainable business. \u2018Royal Mail is delivering less and less letters.

Mr Thompson met the young woman, then 21, through online dating site eHarmony in March 2013, who broke off the relationship after accusing him of having bad fashion sense . The 28-year-old attempted to rekindle their relationship, but the woman resisted, and finally relented to meet with him at a shopping centre in Dickson on the grounds that it would be the last time they would see each other. Mr Thompson told the court that he had been humiliated by the young woman's words, and that she told him he was 'boring' and 'too simple to be her partner'. The young woman told the court that she had been 'cruel' to Mr Thompson, and that she had 'yelled at him' and 'humiliated him'. A month after the meeting, Mr Thompson broke into her apartment while the young woman was home, wearing medical gloves and carrying a gun, and hid behind the door of her bedroom while she was in the bathroom. The court reported that when she entered the room, wearing only underpants, Mr Thompson grabbed the woman, put his hand over her mouth and told her not to scream, before forcing her onto her bed with his gun resting on her chest. 'That situation is immediately productive of terror,' said Acting Justice David Robinson during Friday's sentencing, noting that the young woman said she could still smell the glove to this day. After three hours, Mr Thompson left the apartment, and the now 22-year-old went to the police, reporting that she was in fear for her life and believed that he might come back.

In some places, the buildup combines with a summer heatwave to inflict sweltering discomfort and heat stress. Writing in the journal Scientific Reports, specialists in China and the United States said urban heat island creates a vicious circle. The hotter it is, the more people crank up their air conditioning, which in turn disgorges more heat into the street, and so on. The team calculated what would happen in Beijing if petrol- and diesel-powered cars and light trucks were replaced by their electric equivalent. Their simulation was based on the weather in the Chinese capital in the summer of 2012, when the city was three degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the surrounding countryside. Switching vehicles would have caused this to fall by 0.94 C (1.7 F), according to their model. 'Heatwaves kill, and in terms of climate change, even one degree can make a difference,' said Jianguo Liu of Michigan State University, who took part in the study. The theoretical switch would also save the city 14.4 million Kilowatt-hours in electricity each day -- the daily equivalent of 10,686 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The calculation took into account heat from the extra fossil fuel that would have had to be burned at local power plants to charge the electric cars. Electric vehicles emit only about a fifth of the heat of conventional cars. Electric vehicles emit only about a fifth of the heat of conventional cars. The team calculated what would happen in Beijing if petrol- and diesel-powered cars and light trucks were replaced by their electric equivalent. 'The replacement can mitigate heat island intensity, which can reduce the amount of electricity consumed daily by air conditions, benefitting the local and global climate,' the study said. The researchers sounded a note of caution, pointing out that urban heat island has a basket of factors, some of which are sketchy. Particulate pollution, city layout, building design, energy efficiency and parks are also believed to play a part in worsening or mitigating it. The computer simulation focused only temperature change and energy savings. It was not designed to factor in the cost of introducing electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure, nor did it estimate the health benefits", "summary": "Switching from vehicles powered by fossil fuels to plug-in equivalents would ease a phenomenon called urban heat islands .

So the next time you forget a bottle opener you don't need to worry. Mr Morgan's method is so ludicrously simple it's a wonder no one has thought of it before. All you need to successfully crack open your beer is one piece of A4 paper. Mr Morgan who lives in Cardiff, Wales starts off by vertically folding the paper in half. He then folds the half lengthways again, pressing firmly so the creases of the paper hold. He keeps folding the paper in half vertically until he ends up with only a small amount of paper left. Mr Morgan starts by vertically folding a piece of A4 paper in half (left) before he folds it in half again (right) Then he folds the remaining paper lengthways to create a 'V' shape from the paper. He places the 'V'-shaped paper against the underside of the bottle and applies pressure . And with one swift upwards move he pops the cap of the bottle, successfully releasing the beer from its bottle-topped prison.

He told FEMAIL:'I learnt the trick during the summer.' 'I was at a garden party with, tragically, a broken bottle opener.

Findings from a new US study underline the need to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions, it is claimed. More than 3 million Britons are diagnosed with diabetes and nine out of ten have type 2 which occurs when the body gradually loses the ability to process blood sugar. Researchers looked at the number of antibiotic prescriptions given to 200,000 diabetics a year before they were diagnosed, and found those given at least two courses had a higher chance of getting the condition . Type 2 is strongly linked to lifestyle factors such as being overweight or obese, leading a sedentary lifestyle and eating an unhealthy diet. Researchers from the Departments of Gastroenterology and Medical Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania carried out the investigation. They looked at the number of antibiotic prescriptions given to more than 200,000 diabetics in the UK at least one year before they were diagnosed with the disease, and compared this to the number given to 800,000 non-diabetic patients of the same age and sex. They found that patients prescribed at least two courses of penicillins, cephalosporines, quinolones and macrolides were at higher risk of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The risk increased with the number of antibiotic courses prescribed, says a report in the European Journal of Endocrinology (must credit).

+{"article": "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 discovery was made by a team of scientists including Dr John Pasley of the York Plasma Institute in the Department of Physics. A team of scientists that included York University made the discovery. They fired an ultra-intense laser on fluids in a laboratory. When they did this, the plasma in the fluid produced a sound wave. This process is thought to also be taking place in stars (sun pictured) They found that, when material - dust or gas from nearby - falls onto a star, it can produce an extremely high pitched sound in the plasma. Dr Pasley told MailOnline that 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. To make the finding, the team studied fluids in motion in a laboratory and found that, when plasma is hit with an ultra-intense laser, it produces some strange effects. Using a method not too dissimilar to how a speed camera works, they were able to observe how the fluid moves at the point it is struck. Often called the fourth state of matter, plasma is a state of matter where heat or another energy has been added to a gas. This makes many of its atoms release some, or all, of their electrons. The resultant electrically charged gas is said to be \u2018ionised\u2019, and when enough atoms are ionised, the gas is said to be a plasma. Interestingly, plasma is thought to make up more than 99 per cent of all matter in the universe. A trillionth of a second after the laser hits, plasma was found to flow quickly from areas of high density to low density. In so doing, the plasma between the regions of different density produces pressure pulses, or a sound wave. However, with a frequency of nearly a trillion hertz, the sound wave produced is six million times higher in frequency than anything that can be heard by a mammal. It is also almost the highest frequency possible in such a material. According to the scientists, a prime location for this rare event occurring is on the surface of stars. The process is thought to be taking place on stars like the sun, pictured, where plasma is in abundance. In fact, plasma is thought to make up 99 per cent of matter in the universe . \u2018When they are accumulating new material, stars could generate sound in a very similar manner to that which we observed in the laboratory - so the stars might be singing - but, since sound cannot propagate through the vacuum of space, no-one can hear them,\u2019 said Dr Pasley. However, he noted that it would be difficult to directly observe", "summary": "A team of scientists that included York University made the discovery .

Here, Sportsmail's Sam Cunningham reminds you of 10 classic matches between the two sides. Italy 1-1 England, May 1933, friendly (Stadio Nazionale del PNF, Rome) This was the first ever meeting between the two sides, most famous for Italy\u2019s fascist leader Benito Mussolini cheering from the stands and being played in a stadium which translated into English as the \u2018National Stadium of the National Fascist Party\u2019. England\u2019s squad had to travel by train, setting off from London Victoria, and boat to get to Rome for the match. Italy\u2019s Giovanni Ferrari put the home side ahead in the fourth minute, but Arsenal striker Cliff Bastin scored his first England goal to cancel it out. The England football team pictured at Victoria station as they depart for Rome to face Italy in 1933 . England 3-2 Italy, November 1934, friendly (Highbury, London) This game was labelled \u2018The Battle of Highbury\u2019 afterwards. Italy defender Luis Monti broke his foot in only the second minute and it was full of ferocious challenges. Italy were perhaps spurred on by reports at the time that Mussolini had offered the players an Alpha Romeo and \u00a3150 each if they won. That incentive back-fired when England went three goals ahead in the first 12 minutes; Eric Brook scoring three minutes in, adding a second after 10 and Ted Drake getting a third. They almost managed to throw it away, allowing Guiseppe Meazza to score twice in the 58th and 62nd minute, but held on for the win. England beat Italy 3-2 'The Battle of Highbury' during the second meeting between the two teams in 1934 . Italy 0-4 England, May 1948, friendly (Stadio Comunale, Turin) The Italians were still world champions, having won the World Cup in 1934 and 1938 and it being cancelled on the next two occasions due to World War Two. Italy\u2019s manager was the great double World Cup winner Vittorio Pozzo, but they were rocked by Walter Winterbottom\u2019s England. Stan Mortensen gave England a fourth-minute lead, Tommy Lawton added another and Tom Finney hit two second-half strikes within two minutes of each other. Goalkeeper Frank Swift, in his first match as captain, pulled off some stunning saves to keep Italy out with the score at 2-0. The result reverberated around the football world. Tom Finney scores England's fourth goal as England beat Italy 4-0 in Turin in 1948 . Italy 2-3 England, May 1961, friendly (Olympic Stadium, Rome) Goals from Omar Sivori and Gerry Hitchens put the scores level at the break, but Sergio Brighenti struck another shortly after and with only 13 minutes to play England were still trailing 2-1.

+{"article": "Thousands of infertile couples could realise their dreams of becoming parents thanks to a new test that allows IVF treatment to be tailored to a woman's individual fertility cycle. For the first time, scientists believe they are able to identify the point in a woman's cycle when there is the greatest chance an embryo will successfully implant in the womb. Repeated rounds of fertility treatment can prove emotionally and financially draining for couples desperate to become parents. There are more than 60,000 IVF cycles performed in the UK each year. Yet, just 24 per cent lead to live births. Meanwhile in the US, 175,000 IVF cycles were performed in 2013, according to the CDC. There, success rates ranged from 16 to 47 per cent, depending on a woman's age. Experts at the IVI fertility clinic in Madrid believe a new test, which identifies the point in a woman's cycle when there is the greatest chance an embryo will successfully implant, will help thousands of infertile couples realise their dream of becoming parents . While the NHS offers the treatment, strict guidelines mean many couples are forced to use private clinics, incurring bills that runs into thousands of pounds. The current treatment involves doctors performing an ultrasound to check the appearance of the lining of the womb, to assess its general health. It is known that for most women, there is a two to four day time period when the lining gives out the key chemical signals that allow the embryo to attach, leading to a pregnancy. But a team of scientists, led by Professor Juan Garcia Velasco at the IVI fertility clinic in Madrid, said they believe failed attempts often happen because an embryo is implanted at the wrong time, missing a woman's crucial window of fertility. They hope their new study will improve success rates for couples undergoing IVF, after they identified a test which can predict each woman's individual fertility window. Professor Garcia-Velasco, told MailOnline: 'The trial we are currently undertaking is trying to answer if the ERA test may help all couples from the first day they attend a fertility clinic, to detect endometrial defects. 'Or, if it will benefit only those with repeated implantation failure as the test does now. 'My hope is that this test will explain why some women do not get pregnant when good quality embryos are transferred, and thus, avoid repeated IVF failure. 'If we are able to select a good embryo and place in the uterus at the right time, success rates should be significantly higher. 'These tests are helping us doctors understand why IVF can be unsuccessful and ultimately reduce patients' frustration of unanswered questions.' He estimates around 15 per cent of cases of implantation failure 'are simply due to bad timing'. He added: 'I think it will make a significant difference in the expectations of couples and how we can explain failures. 'Until now, the endometrium was kind of a black box. Now we can say this was the problem and this is what we can do about it.' The test", "summary": "Experts at the IVI fertility clinic believe a new test could transform IVF .

Those travelling fans have not seen their side beaten in this campaign, two wins and two draws, the last point in Belgium a hugely encouraging display and result. Israel have three wins from three, and beat Bosnia 3-0 in their last home game. Bale holds off his team-mates in training as Wales hope to maintain their unbeaten start in Group B . This is an opportunity that needs to be seized by Wales, though. Victory would crystalise the promise shown so far and catapult the finals in France nearer into view. Defeat would undermine that promise to the same extent. Coleman is aware of the importance of this tie, calling it Wales\u2019 biggest since the Euro 2004 play-off against Russia. He hopes to be saying the same when Belgium come to Cardiff in June, but that can only be the case with a positive result here. The Wales manager has twice been involved in campaigns that came close but failed, at either end of his Wales playing career. In 1993 a missed spot-kick against Romania proved decisive, in 2003 it was an inability to score past Russia over two legs.

In a new report by the OC Register, Rangel said he and May-Treanor split over the simple issue of sponsorship.

'I can respect the fact that she doesn\u2019t want to be photographed with 500 girls that are wearing Asics gear,' Rangel said. However, rumors abound in the club about a deeper-seeded issue that caused May-Treanor's distance, and the scrubbing of all her photos from the club's website. Cary Lambeth, a longtime youth basketball organizer who helped in the early planning stages of the MMTSC believes the break is 'because their visions were not the same'. 'I do not think Misty was doing it for Misty. I think Misty was doing it because she wanted to give back,' Lambeth said. Daily Mail Online reached out to May-Treanor's agent for comment on Tuesday, but did not immediately get a reply. Calls to Mike Rangel were also not returned. May-Treanor's apparent rift with Rangel is surprising considering their previously close relationship. In her 2010 autobiography, she described her relationship with Rangel as 'one of the most important partnerships' in her volleyball career. Rangel helped train May-Treanor between 2002 and 2012, during which she won three gold medals in the Olympics for beach volleyball with partner Kerri Walsh Jennings. The split was also swift.

+{"article": "PM David Cameron (pictured leaving 10 Downing Street) has said he would not bid for a third term . For many of the greatest leaders in our history, one word was simply beyond them. From Gladstone and Churchill to Thatcher and Blair, they could not bring themselves to say goodbye. So by historical standards, David Cameron\u2019s revelation that, if the voters send him back to Downing Street in May, he will step down after five years and allow somebody else to lead the Conservatives into the 2020 election, counts as a genuine bombshell. For some time, this has been predicted in Westminster. But nobody expected him to say so publicly, and certainly nobody thought he would do it on the brink of one of the tightest and most unpredictable election campaigns in history. Not for Mr Cameron the solemn goodbye in an address to the nation. Instead, he announced his intentions in a throwaway interview with a BBC journalist. It was absolutely typical of the man, the quintessence of laid-back insouciance. Even his rhetoric seemed remarkably casual. Terms in office, he remarked, \u2018are like Shredded Wheat: two are wonderful but three might just be too many\u2019. What makes Mr Cameron\u2019s announcement so extraordinary is that there is simply no historical precedent. The great majority of his predecessors tried to cling on to power as long as possible, and had to be dragged kicking and screaming from office. Margaret Thatcher, for example, famously led her party into a third general election in 1987 with a promise that she would go \u2018on and on\u2019 \u2013 a remark that delighted her admirers and horrified her critics. Few people doubt that had she not been toppled in a coup in 1990, she would have led the Tories into a fourth election two years later. Indeed, if the Iron Lady had had her way, she would have led them into the 21st century, too. But Mrs Thatcher was far from unusual. The Victorian titan William Gladstone led the Liberals to victory in 1892 at the staggering age of 82, long after most of his colleagues thought he should have stepped down. Winston Churchill, too, had to be prised from office like an oyster from a shell. He should have resigned in glory after winning World War II and losing the 1945 general election. Instead, he refused to budge, even though he was increasingly debilitated by old age and a series of strokes. The most obvious recent example, though, is Tony Blair, whose premiership was undermined almost from the very beginning by gossip about the succession. According to Gordon Brown and his friends, Mr Blair had promised to step aside after two elections for his ambitious chancellor. But when he refused to do so, their relations degenerated into virtual civil war. In 2004, Mr Blair promised that if he won a third election he would soon resign to give his successor time to prepare for Labour\u2019s tilt at a fourth term in office.

+{"article": "Adrian Lubecki (pictured) admitted supplying class A controlled drugs and possession with intent to supply a class B drug at Ipswich Crown Court . A teenager who supplied a dangerous batch of 'Superman' ecstasy pills linked to at least two deaths in the same town has been jailed for five years and four months. Factory worker Adrian Lubecki, 19, from Ipswich, admitted supplying class A controlled drugs and possession with intent to supply a class B drug. Justas Ropas, 23, was found dead at his home in Ipswich on Christmas Eve, and Gediminas Kulokas, 24, was found on New Year's Day at his home in the Suffolk town. Ipswich Crown Court heard Polish factory worker Lubecki sold the red Superman-branded pills over the Christmas period last year on the streets of Ipswich, Suffolk. He had supplied the drug to Lithuanian machine operator Mr Ropas, who died at home on Christmas Eve. The same Superman pills were linked to the death of Lithuanian labour Mr Kulokas who died on his 24th birthday on New Year's Day. But the court heard that the supplier of the drug to Mr Kulokas had not been identified and there was no evidence that it was Lubecki. Prosecutor Michael Crimp said: 'The prosecution can't say they came from the defendant.' The drug was also originally linked to the death of British labourer John Hocking, 20, who died on New Year's Day at a friend's home in Rendlesham, Suffolk. But Suffolk Police confirmed today that they no longer believed Mr Hocking had taken the rogue Ecstasy. The deaths prompted Suffolk Police to issue a warning over the Superman-branded pills, which contained the drug PMMA which is said to be five times as toxic as the usual Ecstasy ingredient MDMA. A court heard Lubecki sold the red Superman-branded pills (pictured) on the streets of Ipswich, Suffolk . But PMMA which has the full name Paramethoxymethamphetamine is slower acting than MDMA so some users are tempted to take higher doses. The court heard that a housemate of Mr Ropas had contacted Lubecki on December 23 and asked if he could supply some ecstasy tablets.

+{"article": "For a child, the world is a heady mix of colours, shapes and words that are constantly being learned and remembered. To make sense of many of these experiences, babies and toddlers 'map' names to objects by assessing their surroundings and associating words with the item's location. And now a new study has found that this association is not only affected by the child's proximity to the object, it can also be influenced by their specific posture. Scroll down for video . Cognitive scientists from Indiana University taught a robot (pictured) to associate the name of an object with its location, while sat with a certain posture. When the target and another object were placed in the location, and the robot was positioned in a different way, it failed to recognise the object . Cognitive scientists from Indiana University began by assessing the learning capabilities of a child-like robot called iCub. They showed the robot an object situated to its left, and a different object on its right. This was repeated so iCub learnt to associate between the objects and its two related postures. The robot consistently made a link between the object and its name - and proved this by reaching for the object - during 20 repeats of the experiment. But in subsequent tests where the target and another object were placed in both locations and the robot was positioned in a different way, it failed to recognise the object. This experiment was replicated using children aged 12 to 18 months and the researchers noticed only 'slight differences' in the results. As with the robot, the infants failed to recognise objects if their position and posture changed, or the object was moved. In steps 1 to 4, objects are placed left or right and are given names. In step 5 of the Baldwin Task, the objects are hidden while in the Interference Task, their location is switched. The items are put back in their correct location in 6 and 7 before being moved again in step 8. The participant is then asked to identify an object . This experiment was replicated using children aged 12 to 18 months (stock image) and the researchers noticed only 'slight differences in the results.' Like with the robot, the infants failed to recognise objects if their position and posture changed, or the object was moved . The study was carried out by Linda Smith, a professor in the IU Bloomington College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. She worked with Anthony Morse, a senior post-doctoral research fellow in the Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems at the University of Plymouth and Viridiana Benitez, a post-doctoral research associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 'This study shows that the body plays a role in early object name learning, and how toddlers use the body's position in space to connect ideas,' Professor Smith said.

The incident took place at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (above) in Los Angeles where the patients were confirmed with bacteria known as CRE . Cedars-Sinai said that it halted endoscopic procedures after learning about the UCLA outbreak and launched its own investigation. However, the germ may have been transmitted through a duodenoscope during procedures performed between last August and January.

Cedars-Sinai said that it halted endoscopic procedures after learning about the UCLA outbreak and launched its own investigation. The germ may have been transmitted through a duodenoscope during procedures performed between last August and January (above illustration of how a duodenum is used during procedures) In recent years, hospitals across the country have grappled with cases of CRE, or carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, with some linked to hard-to-clean medical scopes made by Olympus and other companies. The bacteria can cause infections of the bladder or lungs and can contribute to death in up to half of seriously infected patients. Last month, two people died and 16 were hospitalized in North Carolina after contracting CRE at an unnamed hospital. The latest cases come two weeks after a similar outbreak happened at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (above) where two patients died and seven were left ill after becoming infected with the bacteria . The latest infections were reported to state and local health departments and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One patient died, but Cedars-Sinai said the cause was an underlying medical condition not related to the superbug infection. UCLA and Cedars-Sinai said infections occurred at the hospitals despite cleaning the devices to the manufacturer's standards.

+{"article": "Margaret Thatcher is said to have ordered testing of a laser to be used in the Falklands War . A secret 'death ray' laser was developed during the Falklands War and ordered for testing by the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, documents reveal. Britain was said to have worked with America to develop the high powered lasers for use on the battlefield during the 1970s and 1980s. The beam, nicknamed a 'death ray', had been developed quickly because of fears over the weapons possessed by the Soviets - but was never used. But Lady Thatcher was said to be so impressed with the technology she ordered testing to take place during the Falklands War, the Daily Express reported. Existence of the laser was revealed in the National Archives, in a letter - marked 'top secret' from the then Defence Secretary Michael Heseltine to Lady Thatcher in 1983 about the weapons owned by the Soviets and Britain's position. It said: 'You may recall that we developed and deployed with great urgency a naval laser weapon, designed to dazzle low-flying Argentinian pilots attacking ships, to the Task Force in the South Atlantic. 'The weapon was not used in action and knowledge of it has been kept to a very restricted circle.' The letter was revealed under the 30 year rule. Sheffield academic Dr David Clarke found the letter in his search of the archives and said the 'naval laser weapon' referred to a device tested, but never used in anger, when troops were defending the Suez Canal in 1941. Margaret Thatcher (pictured front, centre) visited HMS Hermes when it came back from the Falklands War . This device used powerful searchlights to dazzle pilots as they attacked Royal Navy ships. In 1982, when the Falkland Islands was invaded, it was decided to use the same tactics to try and blind enemy pilots. In the 1980s Britain was said to be focused on developing medium power lasers directed against relatively softer targets such as eyes, optic and electro-optic sensors. These weapons was designed to target low flying aircraft by 'dazzling' pilots targeting ships. The 'death ray' was said to be unlikely to be unsuccessful in targeting ships but would work on humans. Britain's laser weapon research in the 1980s was covered by two programmes - known as Raker and Shingle. According to the correspondence from Mr Heseltine, Britain had been working with America on developing laser weapons since the 1970s. Mr Heseltine also detailed fears in his letter to Lady Thatcher about the Soviets were developing a range of secret beam weapons. However he said he was uncertain whether owning these weapons was useful. In the letter he added: 'the Russians could be in a position to field such weapons by the mid-1980s (in fact, the Russians may already have deployed a laser weapon on the cruiser Kirov)'. The Falklands War lasted from April to June 1982, with the loss of 255 personnel from the UK.", "summary": "Britain believed to have worked with America on development of lasers .

The London-based human rights group said that a first bill, which has already been approved once by parliament, would restrict access to contraception, forcing women into unsafe backstreet abortions. It said the second draft law, which is to go before parliament next month, would close many jobs to women who choose not to or are unable to have children. Iran is seeking to double its population to 150 million by 2065 . 'The proposed laws will entrench discriminatory practices and set the rights of women and girls in Iran back by decades,' said Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa, Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui. 'The authorities are promoting a dangerous culture in which women are stripped of key rights and viewed as baby-making machines rather than human beings with fundamental rights to make choices about their own bodies and lives.' The draft legislation comes in response to a call by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to double Iran's population to 150 million within 50 years. Iranian officials have expressed alarm at its ageing population, with an official at the national birth registry, Mohammad Nazemi Ardekani, warning last April the population growth rate could fall to zero 'within 30 years'. The bill, which is now undergoing amendment, would ban voluntary sterilisation and end state subsidies for contraceptive services. Draft legislation will put men and women in Iran who can have children to the top of the priority list for jobs . Amnesty said it would inevitably lead to an increase in backstreet terminations in a country where abortion is illegal except in very limited circumstances. The second bill would require both public and private employers to give priority to men and women with children when hiring for certain jobs. It would also make divorce more difficult and restrict intervention by the state in family disputes, which Amnesty said would expose women to increased risks of domestic violence.

Southgate's youngsters twice came from behind at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium before surging to a 3-2 win, to the delight of a crowd of 30,178. However, despite also beating Portugal and hosts the Czech Republic, who will also be at this summer's finals tournament, the former England defender is keeping his feet firmly on the ground. James Ward-Prowse wheels away in celebration after scoring the winner in England Under 21's win . Saints midfielder completed an unlikely comeback that saw two late goals scored in three minutes . Asked if he was excited by what might lie ahead, Southgate said: 'Not really. 'I love working with the group that we have, staff and players, it's a real united body of people. We have got quality and they want to be the best they can be, so they have got a chance. 'But we also know that we are very quick to put people on a pedestal, and we haven't achieved anything yet. We have had some good results, we have had some nice compliments, but we know what our goal is and we know that we are driven to achieve that. 'We are not interested in too much until we do that.' Nathan Redmond leaps for joy after bringing England level at 2-2 with a deflected shot in the second half . Jesse Lindgard brought England level for the first time with a composed finish from Carl Jenkinson's cross . Southgate's caution was perhaps a reflection of an ordinary start by his team as they struggled to get to grips with a Germany squad boasting some 600 more top-flight appearances than his. England fell behind with just 15 minutes gone when Kaiserslautern striker Philipp Hofmann, celebrating his 22nd birthday, expertly controlled and converted a left-wing cross, and after Jesse Lingard had levelled, restored Germany's lead within five minutes of the restart. The home team left it late to make the big push, but when it came, it was decisive. Germany striker Philipp Hofmann scored a brace but could not prevent the Young Lions from securing win .

Asked how he would manage expectation ahead of the summer, Southgate said: 'We will just show people the first 25 minutes of the game - that will keep everybody's expectations in check, it's as simple as that.

A judge heard William and Caroline Hopkins, who had lived together near Wincanton, Somerset, married more than three decades after starting an affair, but separated after less than three years. The High Court in London heard the couple, who separated in the summer of 2011, had signed a 'post-nuptial' agreement under which Mrs Hopkins would receive two properties, \u00a3350,000 and a share of her ex-husband's pension. But Mrs Hopkins, 62, complained that the agreement had been breached after she was put under 'undue pressure' and exploited - and argued that she should be awarded a further \u00a32million. A High Court (pictured) judge rejected Caroline Hopkins claim for \u00a32million after she signed a 'post-nuptial' agreement, which already entitled her to two properties, \u00a3350,000 and a share of her ex-husband's pension . Deputy High Court Judge Nicholas Cusworth QC, in a written ruling, said that he preferred Mr Hopkins's evidence - and added Mrs Hopkins had 'sought to underplay' the agreement and had 'dramatised' what happened. He rejected her claim of 'undue influence' and cleared Mr Hopkins of 'badgering and harassing' her. Mrs Hopkins had claimed her ex-husband was worth \u00a354.3 million, although he put the figure at \u00a338.4 million. She also accused her former husband of 'bullying' her into signing up to the deal. Mr Hopkins, 66, described by lawyers as a multi-millionaire property developer, disputed her claim and offered another \u00a3200,000. She said that when she had questioned the fairness of the agreement, he had become 'uncontrollably angry', raising his fist and tightening her clothes around her neck. But Mr Hopkins denied there was any such incident, but accepted there may have been 'some physical tension' between them during an 'extremely fraught' time as their marriage broke down. The court heard Mr Hopkins and Mrs Hopkins had written lists of 'how things could change' to each other shortly before separating. Mr Hopkins had written at the top of his list: 'I would like to be listened to' but Mrs Hopkins added 'listening' third on her list. The couple, now in their 60s, met in the 1980s while both were married with young children. They had a child together after what was described as a 'clandestine affair', but only married in 2009. After moving in together in Wincanton in 2001, they married after Mr Hopkins had begged her to give him 'one last chance', the court heard. But just over a year after their wedding, Mrs Hopkins went to see a divorce lawyer to seek advice about her entitlements \u2013 and the post-nuptial agreement was signed in August 2011. Under the deal, Mrs Hopkins got the family home - 'Lynwood', in Wincanton, which is valued at more than \u00a3530,000 as well as an investment property worth about \u00a3250,000.

India's Daughter was described as the 'bitter truth' by the young woman's father after it quoted the views of her rapist Mukesh Singh, who is on death row over the 2012 attack.

The Yangtze finless porpoise is facing the same fate as their cousin, the river dolphins which were officially declared extinct in 2006, wiped out by human development in the world's most populous country. There are just 1,000 of the fresh water mammals left living in the world's longest river, but number are declining by more than 13 per cent every year, the People's Daily Online reports. At that rate, the finless porpoises - who are known for their mischievous smiles, and referred to affectionately as China's pandas of the water - will be extinct within a decade. Endangered: The Yangtze finless porpoise is critically endangered and could be extinct within the decade . Mission: Fishermen and experts have known joined together to try to halt the decline . But now local fishermen have joined forces with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and China's Institute of Hydrobiology to try and turn the tide for the porpoises, after the Ministry of Agriculture and the Yangtze River Fishery Supervision Bureau decided it was time to save the species. The Yangtze Finless Porpoise Conservation Project officially began this month when a fleet of carefully navigated boats headed out into Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province. The lake is almost twice the size of London and hit the headlines last year after it dried up, thanks to the Three Gorges reservoir - the world's biggest dam - and a drought. But the freshwater lake, the largest in China, is also home to almost half the surviving finless porpoises - a total of 450 animals. The project aimed to catch the Yangtze's last remaining water mammals, attracting them using sonar to allow them to collect data on their health, gender, weight and measurements. The strongest animals were then taken to be released into other areas, where scientists hope they will help increase the populations.

Future: Experts hope the animals they catch in Poyang Lake will help increase populations elsewhere . WWF's porpoise project protection commissioner Zhang Xinqiao said they had managed to catch 36 finless porpoises since March 11.

'You spoke, we listened,' the agency said Tuesday afternoon on Twitter. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says the agency received more than 80,000 public comments on the proposal to outlaw some types of 5.56 mm rounds \u2013 also known as .223 caliber ammunition. The agency said Tuesday that comments ran overwhelmingly against the proposal, which it first floated in February. The ammunition targeted by the ATF is commonly known as 'green-tip' because of its distinctive appearance. GREEN-TIP: The popular rifle ammunition is no longer being targeted for extinction by the ATF . Hunters and target shooters use the bullets, primarily in AR-15-style rifles like this one, but the ammo could travel fast enough from a handgun to pierce a police officer's body armor . UNCLE: The ATF decided Tuesday that it couldn't withstand an onslaught from legislators and the public . 'Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen, the vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework, and include issues that deserve further study,' the agency said in a press release. 'Accordingly, ATF will not at this time seek to issue a final framework.' That carefully parsed language leaves open the possibility that the government could revive the idea in the future. The ATF plans to keep collecting comments until March 16. Hundreds of lawmakers, including 52 U.S. senators, also objected. The ATF had proposed banning the ammunition, most commonly used in the popular AR-15-style rifles, because they could potentially penetrate a police officer's protective vest if fired from a handgun instead. The Law Enforcement Officers Protection Act banned armor-piercing handgun ammunition in 1986. Green-tip ammo has long been exempt because it's primarily used in hunting and target-shooting rifles. The ATF's proposal would have removed that exemption, effectively banning its sale in the United States. Virginia Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte took a rhetorical victory lap on Tuesday from his perch as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. 'After much pressure from a large, bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives, I am pleased that the Obama Administration has abandoned its attack on the Second Amendment,' Goodlatte said in a statement. 'It is entirely inappropriate for President Obama to stretch his regulatory authority to implement partisan policies that Congress has refused to enact,' he added. 'Such an abuse of power would impact many law-abiding gun owners and restrict the American people's ability to legally and responsibly exercise their Second Amendment rights.' Last week Goodlatte and 238 other House members, including seven Democrats, sent a verbal stop sign to the ATF.

The world\u2019s most famous scientist said losing the capacity to communicate is one of the most frightening challenges faced by people with motor neurone disease. Yet campaigners fear many funding gaps throughout Britain mean many sufferers fail to get the help they deserve. Some have been waiting months, when they rely on loved ones to interpret their needs, but others die first. Physicist Hawking, whose inspiring story is the subject of the Oscar-winning biopic The Theory of Everything starring Eddie Redmayne, lost the ability to speak in 1985. Stephen Hawking said not being able to communicate is 'one of the most frightening and isolating aspects of living with motor neurone disease'. He has made a plea to ensure other sufferers do not die without a voice . He now talks through a speech synthesiser with a distinctive electronic voice recognised globally. He said \u2018I am a Patron of the Motor Neurone Disease Association. \u2018Their campaign \"Don\u2019t Let Me Die Without A Voice\" highlights how not being able to communicate is one of the most frightening and isolating aspects of living with motor neurone disease (MND). \u2018Everyone with MND should be able to access speech and language therapy and the range of communication equipment technology which is out there. No one should die without a voice.\u2019 Figures show at least two out of five MND patients wait more than six weeks to get the communication equipment they need, which can range from simple alphabet charts and speech therapy to high-tech support such as text-to-speech devices, eye gaze systems and voice-banking. Between 80-95 per cent of people living with MND experience some loss of speech before they die. The weakening of muscles in lip and tongue, vocal chords and chest contribute to deterioration in the ability to speak and swallow. Up to 5,000 people are living with MND at any time but 30 per cent die within a year of diagnosis, and over 50 per cent within two years. The scientist, whose inspiring story is the subject of the Oscar-winning biopic The Theory of Everything for which Eddie Redmayne won an Oscar, lost the ability to speak in 1985 . The rapidly progressive nature of the disease can result in patients dying even while waiting for the initial assessment of their needs. Currently the NHS funds communication aids for fewer than half the people with MND who need them, according to an investigation by MPs from the All Party Parliamentary Group on MND. As part of the 2012 NHS reforms, the Coalition Government identified that NHS England had a duty to provide communications support and equipment for people living with MND. However, the change to specialised commissioning in 2013 which should result in high- quality services across the country has resulted in catastrophic failure for people with MND, said Karen Pearce from the MND Association.

Tory minister Hugo Swire has been filmed cracking jokes about benefit claimants at a glamorous party fundraiser. The foreign office minister hosted an auction at the dinner at which donors bid for high-value items \u2013 and suggested even those living on welfare could afford to pay \u00a360,000. Mr Swire was the star turn at the secretive Black and White Ball, at which ministers and senior MPs mingle with financiers, industry bosses and other donors to raise money for the General Election. Covert filming of the event has shown Mr Swire - a former director of Sotheby\u2019s - acting as the auctioneer, selling lots including a shoe shopping session with Theresa May, and dinner with Boris Johnson.

Snooker champion Stephen Hendry has won a five-year battle with his neighbours to build 11 luxury homes in the back garden of his mansion \u2013 just a stone's throw from Gleneagles. The seven-times world champion, 46, is set to build a multi-million pound housing development on land currently used as a horse paddock and stables on his Perthshire country estate. He and neighbour Alexander Birnie teamed up to apply for permission to build 11 new homes less than two miles from the world-famous course at Gleneagles. But the move upset residents in the upmarket village who voiced fears that it will invade their privacy and spoil the natural beauty of the area. The Auchterarder development was originally given the go-ahead in 2012 but construction never started because of the decline in the housing market. Renewed plans were submitted to Perth and Kinross Council last month by Mr Birnie's company Craigmount Developments and they have now been given the green light. Drawings submitted in 2011 for a planned house on Mr Hendry's land show a large four-bedroom property. The proposed house has a massive snooker room at the rear as well as a studio, a TV room, a drawing room and a built-in garage. Mr Hendry left the family home last year after splitting from his wife Mandy, but he still owns the land. The couple moved into the turreted five-bedroom mansion in 1996 after paying \u00a3300,000 and they carried out extensive renovations. They rented the house out for rumoured five-figure sum during the golf tournament. Council planners approved the application after finding it complied with the local development plan and that there were no 'material considerations' to justify refusal.

+{"article": "Up to 80 per cent of women fake orgasms, according to recent research - and that might not be a bad thing. Turns out some women fake it in order to make it a real orgasm happen. Researchers surveyed 481 heterosexual females, all sexually active but not in serious relationships. Scroll down for video . The most common reason is faking an orgasm is to protect a man's feelings, says sexpert Tracey Cox . The results, published in The Journal of Sexual Archives, threw up the usual, predictable reasons for faking - but also a surprising one. The women gave four main reasons for faking orgasm. The most common reason was \u2018altruistic deceit\u2019 - to protect the man\u2019s feelings. Second, fear and insecurity. Wanting the sex to be a positive experience, rather than a negative one. Fourth, was faking it to end the sex session. No surprises there (though it\u2019s usually further up the list!) The most interesting reason came third on the list. \u2018Elevated arousal\u2019 - faking orgasm to make yourself feel more turned on. The women said by pretending to orgasm, they were attempting to increase their arousal levels. And do you know what? I believe them. The \u2018fake it till you make it\u2019 theory is based on the assumption that if you act out the thing you want to happen, sometimes it will. Psychologists use the same technique on depressed patients: the act of smiling triggers hormones which make us feel happier so a forced smile eventually turns into a real one. Sexpert Tracey Cox says for some women pretending to climax could actually bring on the real thing . The women in the study said if they pretended to orgasm, their partner got more excited, which got them more excited. By reenacting the lead-up to a real orgasm - breathing faster, making noise, moving your hips, tensing your muscles - you might just push yourself over the threshold to the point where orgasm becomes involuntary. But there are two crucial points that need to be made here. First up, the study was based on women who weren\u2019t in relationships so the overall percentage of \u2018fakers\u2019 (80 per cent) is hopefully lower in couples who are more comfortable with each other. It\u2019s also best not to use the \u2018fake it to make it\u2019 technique at the beginning of relationships (unless you explain that\u2019s what you\u2019re doing, which is unlikely). How is your partner ever going to learn to give you a real orgasm if they think they\u2019re doing it already? The absolute worst time to fake an orgasm is at the start of a relationship, which is, of course, when most women (and some men) do it. Keep on doing it and you\u2019ve set up a pattern of behaviour that\u2019s based on deception and dissatisfaction. He\u2019ll keep on using the same ineffectual techniques because he thinks he\u2019s turning you on; you\u2019ll remain frustrated and irritable every time you have sex.

Rooney was subjected to an unwanted set of headlines on Sunday after apparently being knocked out by Phil Bardsley during a sparring session in the kitchen of his Cheshire mansion. The England and United captain did not seem unsettled by the episode, scoring a fine goal in a 3-0 rout of Tottenham and then engaging in some celebratory shadow boxing. Rooney took part in a 'Chevrolet FC hosts Man Utd in Google+ Hangout' on Monday, which was full of light-hearted exchanges and made no mention of his boxing. When Rooney, who was sitting between Michael Carrick and Ander Herrera and apparently at Old Trafford, was asked who the best singer is at the club, he replied: 'Probably me. 'Over Christmas a few of the players got up and did a few songs. Quite good some of them. Michael's not bad.' Herrera said of Carrick: 'He's humble, but he's the best.' Wayne Rooney mocked recent headlines with a 'knockout' celebration at Old Trafford on Sunday . Paul Gascoigne, scoring at Euro 96, was Rooney's favourite English footballer and hero growing up . The host then asked Rooney what songs he liked to sing. 'Opera,' Rooney said, before adding: 'Only joking. I like to sing a bit of indie rock.' There was a slight sneer when it was suggested, tongue in cheek, that Rooney would be asked to sing later in the Hangout, something which did not materialise. Rooney was asked who his favourite English footballer and hero was growing up. His answer was Paul Gascoigne, a player who also attracted tabloid attention for his off-field antics as much as his on-field displays.

Asked what it was specifically about Gascoigne that Rooney liked, he said: 'His ability to turn games round on their head and produce magical moments. He was a perfect entertainer on the pitch.' A number of other questions were Rooney related. Told only one player had scored more penalties for United than Rooney, the skipper conferred with Carrick and Herrera before saying: 'We think it's Dennis Irwin.' Asked how confident they were in their answer on a scale of one to 10? Rooney replied '11'.

More than 60 cultural artifacts illegally smuggled into the U.S. from Iraq have been returned to the Iraqi government - Among the items salvaged were a door knocker, water urn and soap dish from Saddam Hussein's private airport and palace (above) Investigators were alerted to the belongings when a source tipped them off that gold-plated artifacts from the former president's properties were on the market.

The shield (pictured) is aerodynamically designed to reduce air resistance so it can be used in windy weather . \u2018The resistance results showed that the kits can be used also in tougher conditions such as mountain biking as well.\u2019 The plastic windshield will stop rain blowing into the face of a cyclist, and it shouldn\u2019t steam up, like other more enclosed canopies. The device is designed to be fitted to any style of bike and can be packed away into a small bag when the weather improves, in just one minute. The kit weighs around 2.2lbs (1kg). It\u2019s available to pre-order from Kickstarter in four models - Classic, Advanced, Storm and Family. Prices range from \u00a399 ($152) for the basic model to \u00a3199 (\u00a3305) for the family kit which also protects a child on a rear bike seat. Mr Brito, 40, said: \u2018The idea of Leafxpro arose because we love cycling and it\u2019s disappointing to have to use polluting means of transport just because of the bad weather. \u2018We started thinking that there had to be an efficient, versatile and comfortable solution that would provide a sense of freedom for all people who love cycling.\u2019 It has taken him years to design and test the product, which is a modular structure that adapts to different weather conditions.

Indeed, the gang of naked sisters who star in The Seven Lady Godivas: The True Facts Concerning History\u2019s Barest Family, are famous for wearing no clothes at all. Not the usual: Dr Seuss penned this saucy book in 1939 - but it never gained much popularity despite featuring pages of cartoon nudity . The famed author, whose birthday yesterday is now celebrated as a national reading festival, wrote and illustrated the failed exhibitionist tome in 1939. But despite his efforts to 'draw the sexiest babes I could', it only sold 2,500 copies, and went out of print. As a recent feature in Mashable details, the book retells the English legend of Lady Godiva - who rode naked through the streets of Coventry to protest her husband's unfair tax hikes. However, Seuss altered the story by multiplying the number of nudes by seven - and making sure they stayed that way at all times, rather than just to prove a point. In a foreword to the out-of-print tale, he wrote that he was correcting an inaccuracy in inserting six more naked women into the story - and that their nudity was a source of 'pride'. Not quite: Dr Seuss is much better-known for other creations, such as the Cat in the Hat . Change of heart: Seuss, also known as Theodor Geisel, decided to stick to children's books after The Seven Lady Godivas . Seuss, real name Theodor Geisel, wrote that he was in fact telling 'a beautiful story of love, honor and scientific achievement'. Publishing the book was allegedly a condition for Random House, Seuss's new publisher, when he jumped ship to them. However, it seems few agreed with his own high opinion of the bawdy tale. While 10,000 copies were printed, only 2,500 were ever bought. He later accepted that the book was no good. According to The Atlantic, he said: 'I attempted to draw the sexiest babes I could, but they came out looking absurd. After the experience he turned his back on the adult audience. His New York Times obituary records him once saying: 'I'd rather write for kids. They're more appreciative; adults are obsolete children, and the hell with them.' Before Dr Seuss decided that she should have six naked cartoon sisters, Lady Godiva was a well-known figure in English legend, whose story introduced Peeping Tom into the world. Godiva was a real historical figure who lived in the 11th-century city of Coventry, and was married to Earl Leofric of Mercia. According to folklore, she rode naked through the streets to free her people from her husband's oppressive tax regime.

Moving the 4,500-square-foot, 218-tonne home required four moving companies, a 23-axel truck, a slew of permits and help from dozens of people including police officers and electricians . 'It's quite the project to just get it moved,' new owner Scott Adelman told KVLY. He said the most challenging part of the process has been securing all the permits required, especially because he wanted to take the property across the interstate bridge. That required the Department of Transportation as well as the city of Fargo, Stanley Township, and Horace. He also had to coordinate with other contractors including sign companies, street light companies and power companies. It took two days to move the house as it crawled along the interstate at speeds of about 5 mph. Now that it has reached its destination, Adelman has a crew of 15 people ready to rebuild the property so he can have it back on the market in just five weeks. 'We will have to put the foundation underneath it and piece it back together,' said Adelman. 'It's a project, but the majority of the house obviously, stays intact.' He estimates that it will take a week for the concrete to set and then the house will be set on top. Then the plumbing and electric will next to set up before a new family can move in.

Leicestershire chief executive Wasim Khan told Cricinfo he had been in touch with Pietersen's advisers about the possibility of signing the 34-year-old between his existing commitments at the Indian and Caribbean premier leagues.

Former Detective Chief Inspector Colin Andrews, 59, pursued two women despite their protests. He also abused his power to convince them that nobody would believe their words against his. The former officer who worked for Humberside Police for more than 30 years was said to have 'sociopathic tendencies' and was described as a 'controlling, manipulative bully'. After a six-week trial at Manchester Crown Court, he was convicted of witness intimidation, aggravated stalking, harassment and assault occasioning actual bodily harm but was cleared of rape and two other assault charges. The now-disgraced officer from Hessle, East Yorkshire, led a distinguished career solving high-profile murder cases and once tackled a gunman to the ground - but Andrew led a bullying life outside of the force, the court heard. After retiring in 2012, Andrews took up a civilian role as Humberside Police's criminal justice unit manager but struggled to deal with the loss of power resulting from his new position.

Prosecutor Owen Edwards read an impact statement from one of Andrews' harassment victims.

Reading the second victim's impact statement, he said: 'He was motivated by the need to control and bully as he asserted his power and influence over her.

'We have reviewed Secretary Clinton's official personnel file and administrative files, and do not have any record of her signing the OF-109,' Psaki said, referring to the form's bureaucratic name.

Psaki said there was no sign of such a statement in department files. 'We're fairly certain she didn't sign one,' she told reporters. Asked if the State Department considered the case closed, Psaki snapped: 'I hope so, There's quite a bit going on in the world. We can also discuss that.' On the Fox News Channel on Monday, legal commentator and former judge Andrew Napolitano opined that Clinton was between a rock and a hard place. If Clinton had signed the form while holding on to tens of thousands of emails, he said, she was 'committing perjury.' And if not, Napolitano added, she was likely guilty of stealing public records. Either could be a felony. But Psaki emphasized that different bureaus within the department had different rules relating to such statements that had the effect of making it optional for some employs to fill them out and turn them in. She could not identify the bureaus in which employees had such a choice. Questions about whether Clinton signed such a document have swirled since the revelation of her use of a personal email account for government-related work. Republicans, among others, have said that the State Department, along with other federal agencies, generally requires outgoing employees to turn over job-related materials before leaving. That policy requires employees to sign the separation statements declaring they had 'surrendered to responsible officials all unclassified documents' related to official business during their employment. Providing incorrect information on the form can be grounds for prosecution. The Republican National Committee earlier Tuesday had submitted two Freedom of Information requests to the State Department seeking copies of the 'separation statements' signed by Clinton and her top aides and related records. The office of House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said in a statement on Tuesday that it would be 'a big problem if she signed that form like she was supposed to.'

The exams regulator Ofqual is pressing ahead with the reform despite fierce opposition from many in the science community. Universities have argued that that those entering undergraduate courses needed tried and tested basic skills to study at a higher level. GCSE science students will no longer have practical work assessed through coursework. Pictured, David Cameron and Education Secretary Nicky Morgan watch a science experiment at a school earlier this month . Education Nicky Morgan has also publicly criticised the move, recently saying it was \u2018in danger of holding back the next generation of scientists.\u2019 But Ofqual has insisted that the change will \u2018liberate\u2019 teachers from repetitive practicals and offer more variety to pupils. Under the proposals, there will be no separate exam specifically covering the lab work students have done, but instead there will be written exam questions that will draw on what students have learnt. This will count for at least 15 per cent of the total marks available. Each exam board offering science GCSEs will have to specify a minimum number of practical experiments a pupil must take part in and this number will be no less than eight in each individual science and 16 for combined science courses. The move means that practical science will no longer be assessed through \u2018controlled assessment\u2019 - a type of coursework completed in the classroom. Education Nicky Morgan has criticised the move, saying it was \u2018in danger of holding back the next generation of scientists\u2019 Schools will also have to confirm that students have completed a range of experiments and each pupil will have to keep a record of their work. Ofqual chief Glenys Stacey said: \u2018There is unanimous agreement among scientists that practical work is central to good science qualifications. \u2018We have consulted widely and have identified a new approach to the assessment of practical science that will liberate teachers to offer a wider variety of classroom experimentation and promote effective student progression to further study or employment.\u2019 A document on the plans says that students who do not do practical work will still be able to achieve science GCSEs, but insists that these young people \u2018are likely to find it challenging to achieve the highest grades without having the relevant practical experience\u2019. Confirmation of the changes comes in the wake of strong opposition to a similar overhaul of A-level science.

Louis van Gaal used Juan Mata as a 'false right winger' at Anfield six days ago, and threw off the shackles that were once strapped to his ankles by David Moyes and Jose Mourinho. The two-time Chelsea Player of the Year showed good things come to those who wait, as Liverpool's 3-4-3 formation that snookered teams from January onward was lost on Manchester United. Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata scores the second of his double to seal an important win at Anfield . Mata's perfect technique for his scissor-kick was brilliant as he scored one of the goals of the season . Liverpool could do little to stop Mata's incredible scissor-kick giving them a 2-0 lead at Anfield . Mata runs away in celebration with United team-mates Marouane Fellaini (right) and Wayne Rooney (left) It was, if nothing else, unexpected. Mata had gone unused, having played just 15 minutes across four Premier League games in February, and it was reminiscent of his bit-part role at Chelsea. Mourinho considered Oscar a better fit as his No 10, believing Mata's defensive cover left a lot to be desired. He is not a tackler, nor is he the physical type. You don't buy a Jack Russell Terrier then expect it to behave like an American Pit Bull. Mata is a different breed. What he is, is an architect. Since the start of the 2011-12 Barclays Premier League season, he has more goals and assists in total (65) than any other midfielder. Close behind is Manchester City's David Silva (63) and Yaya Toure (61), then Chelsea's Eden Hazard and Liverpool's Steven Gerrard (both 58). Yet his defensive discipline \u2013 or lack thereof \u2013 is what Mourinho considered his Achilles heel. It's true the midfielder averages the fewest tackles (0.64), clearances (0.16) and duels won (14.29 per cent) per game when he, Silva, Toure, Hazard and Gerrard are compared, but that's not his job. Mata left Chelsea for United in a \u00a337m switch but manager David Moyes never got his money's worth . Mata's prayers have been answered at United as he looks to get a regular run out by Louis van Gaal . Only Silva (365) beats him in chances created out of the entire Premier League since the beginning of 2011-12, but Mata (291) has played 466 fewer minutes. He's the creative kind, but would most likely still be warming the substitutes' bench at Stamford Bridge had he not swapped south for north. It was Moyes that bought Mata from Chelsea, phoning him personally to explain what he wanted. Fluidity, assists and goals were the demands, and Mata agreed. Two days later, he arrived at Carrington \u2013 by helicopter, no less \u2013 and it was confirmed. Chelsea made a tidy \u00a313.5m from the Mata move.

Police in Memphis have identified 25 rape suspects after finally testing evidence kits that had been forgotten about for 40 years. Some rape victims have sued the city, alleging that the failure to test around 12,000 kits, some dating back to the 1970s, has allowed too many rapists to escape prosecution. The kits contain samples of semen, saliva and blood taken from a victim, with the DNA then uploaded to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System to check for a match. Now it has been revealed that the backlog, which is now being cleared, has identified 25 suspected rapists with 16 of them believed to have assaulted multiple victims. Memphis Police Lieutenant Cody Wilkerson also confirmed that 5,386 kits had now been sent for testing and that 58 cases have been sent to prosecutors for indictment. However, he added dozens of investigations have been cut short because of statutes of limitations on rape charges, or the deaths of victims or suspects. It comes after it emerged last month that accused rapist Charles Baker, who allegedly assaulted a woman at gunpoint, had finally been arrested after a backlogged rape kit was tested. Baker, 44, was charged with aggravated rape after the attack in Memphis 15 years ago. He is accused to have abducted the victim at gunpoint in 2000 in downtown Memphis and raped her. The woman then consented to a rape kit test but the evidence wasn't tested by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation until July 2012. It was then revealed that the DNA then matched that of Baker earlier this year. In a report about the kit testing backlog last year, former U.S. Attorney Veronica Coleman-Davis said nobody maliciously or wantonly allowed the kits to remain untested. Instead she attributed the problem to 'a general and collective failure to understand the importance of DNA testing as was reflected in common practices in place locally and nationwide.' The kits contain samples of semen, saliva and blood taken from a victim, with the DNA then uploaded to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System to check for a match . Meanwhile in February, officials in Houston said evidence from more than 6,600 rape kits that went untested there for years has turned up 850 hits in the FBI's nationwide database of DNA profiles. And in Detroit, prosecutors discovered more than 11,000 rape kits in an abandoned police warehouse in 2009. In Cleveland, prosecutors have also sent their entire 4,700-kit backlog for testing.", "summary": "Memphis has started testing rape evidence kits that had been backlogged .

Jeers rang out at the final whistle as supporters who flocked back to Ibrox to financially support the new board digested yet another on-field setback. The grim sequence of results now reads as just one win in their last seven outings. For King and his associates, the question of what can be done to lift a desperately flagging season remains highly pertinent. Discussions with caretaker manager Kenny McDowall will have to determine whether he continues or whether an alternative interim appointment is made for the remainder of the campaign. This was not the first time this season that Queens had found themselves featuring in a significant day in the Rangers saga. Back on December 12, their comprehensive 2-0 victory at Palmerston Park became almost an addendum to news that Ally McCoist had handed in his notice. For the visiting support inside the Dumfries ground, it was yet another bewildering development to try and digest. Rangers legend John Greig was in the stands at Ibrox for Tuesday night's Scottish Championship clash . Events tumbled even quicker from then, through McCoist\u2019s gardening leave, an AGM, crisis loan offers and boardroom resignations, finally reaching the regime change arrived at with last Friday\u2019s EGM. Somewhere in the middle of the jumble was the SFA\u2019s refusal, on Christmas Eve of all days, to allow Ashley to increase his shareholding. It was one of several, crucial turning points on the exceptionally winding road towards a fresh start for a club bruised and battered over the previous four years.

+{"article": "The key to a happy home is regular meals together, more than one tablet computer and a Netflix account, a new study has revealed. Research into the lives of 2,000 British families found that traditional values such as regular heart-to-hearts, hugs and knowing when to say sorry were still important factors for domestic bliss. But the study also revealed that modern families believed that having modern technology and gadgets such as a Netflix account, fast wi-fi and Sky TV were also key to harmonious home life. A new study has found that one of the keys to domestic bliss is having more than one tablet computer per household (picture posed by models) Monthly trips to the cinema, a good coffee machine for mum and dad and at least three televisions were also deemed necessities for happiness. The research, commissioned by British manufacturer Origin, found the highest rated tips for domestic bliss included eating together regularly, laughing a lot and keeping the home tidy. Despite the importance of eating together proving the most popular source for a happy family, a third said they rarely find time to do this. A quarter of families also felt they haven't got a good work/life balance with the average family getting less than 12 hours a week together. Andrew Halsall, Managing Director at Origin, said: 'The list of things that people attribute to happiness at home is an interesting mix of traditional processes, efforts to create a warm environment blended with the presence of technology and modern comforts. The whole family regularly eating together topped the list of things that helped create a harmonious family life . 'It's nice to see that eating together is still seen as the biggest sign of family bonding and a significant part of what people say makes a happy home. 'Modern life can be so hectic that families can struggle to get time together or ensure they appreciate their home life fully. People and their lifestyles change over time and homes need to be able to change with them. 'Whether it's through physical changes like extending or developing the property, or through making a conscious effort to do things together more, building that home environment clearly leads to happiness. After all, an Englishman's home is his castle.' The study also revealed that keeping the place tidy, cooking with the children and having in-jokes makes all the difference in fuelling a great home environment. Unsurprisingly, a dishwasher helped to avoid arguments about who is going to do the washing up, while a Netflix account was seen as an important factor in keeping the peace . Despite items such as fast wi-fi, Sky TV and everyone having their own smartphone or tablet, old fashioned bonding such as hugs and eating together were in the top five ways to keep a happy home .

Council bosses have come under fire after barring parents from bringing their prams into a mother and baby centre for 'health and safety reasons', telling them to use an outside buggy park instead. The angry parents say staff at the Sure Start centre in Darlington are forcing them to leave expensive prams chained up in freezing weather, and fear they could become a target for thieves. It is thought the buggy park has been in place for around three weeks, despite previous government advice saying there is no need for a 'blanket ban' on prams inside children's centres. Mother Emma Easterby, 34, says the ban means she no longer fells comfortable taking her four-month-old daughter Alexis to the centre. She said: 'It's health and safety gone mad. My baby has underdeveloped eyesight and doctors told me to use the sensory room there but I can't now as I can't take her pram in. 'There is no way I'm going to leave the pram chained up outside, I couldn't afford to replace it if it was stolen and I don't want to put my baby into a freezing cold buggy when we come back out. 'If word gets out that we are leaving our prams outside then we could be targeted. 'The staff have been abrupt and say it's health and safety but that never stopped us before - I've been going there for three months, the prams weren't causing problems or blocking corridors. 'I was there one Friday with no problem at all and by the same Monday we were turned away at the door. There was no warning given at all.' After refusing to leave her pram unattended, Natalie Henderson, 28, claims she was told to take her baby to another centre to be weighed. She said: 'I went to the centre twice a week until they told me to leave my pram outside. 'I'm not putting my baby into a freezing cold pram - it needs sorting, I can't get my baby weighed. 'They say it's health and safety but that's rubbish, it's supposed to be a centre for babies and children and they could get sick as a result of this nonsense.' Darlington Council said the ban on taking prams inside the centre (pictured) was made after staff carried out a risk assessment and found they were blocking walkways and fire exits . Jade Davidson, who is mum to four-month-old Charlie, added: 'It was about three weeks ago when I first encountered the ban. I couldn't believe what I was hearing I thought it was a joke.

'He is a player who wants to perform what you say,' Van Gaal told MUTV. 'I think he fits good in my profile.' Ashley Young celebrates his goal against Newcastle United, and he is a favourite of manager Louis van Gaal . Young sprints towards the Manchester United support at St James' Park after scoring in the 89th minute . Manager Van Gaal has been frequently picking Young, and United have lost just once with him in the side . So there you have it.

The news may not go down well with legions of United fans who have spent the best part of a season doing their best Alan Turing impressions and trying to decipher Van Gaal's fabled philosophy. That Young, who has often flattered to deceive, is a cornerstone of Van Gaal's style may puzzle even further. The statistics, however, tell a different story. Aside from defeat in their home opener against Swansea, United have not lost with Young in the side. At St James' Park, albeit from a chance laid on a plate, he scored United's late winner for all three points . In the 17 matches he has been involved in since they have won 11 and drawn six.

His form at both wing-back and in his traditional slot further up the field is expected to win him a new contract and the Dutchman heaped further praise on the former Aston Villa man.

Farmer has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2015 regular season for sending text messages to the sideline during games last season. The league announced its punishment on Monday, ending an investigation that hung over the franchise during yet another turbulent offseason and threatened to undermine the Browns' upcoming draft. Farmer, who acknowledged sending the messages weeks ago, will not be paid during his suspension. The league said his ban begins on midnight of the Sunday preceding the Browns' first regular-season game and will end immediately after the fourth regular-season game. Farmer cannot be involved in any club matters and is prohibited from being at the team's offices, practice facility or games, the league said.

The FDA says listeria bacteria were found in samples of Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Country Cookies, Great Divide Bars, Sour Pop Green Apple Bars, Cotton Candy Bars, Scoops, Vanilla Stick Slices, Almond Bars and No Sugar Added Moo Bars.

Blue Bell says its regular Moo Bars were untainted, as were its half gallons, quarts, pints, cups, three-gallon ice cream and take-home frozen snack novelties. There appeared to be some uncertainty as to where the patients acquired the listeria bacterial infection. According to a Friday statement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all five of the people sickened were receiving treatment for unrelated health issues at the same Kansas hospital before developing listeriosis, 'a finding that strongly suggests their infections (with listeria bacteria) were acquired in the hospital,' the CDC said. Of those five, information was available from four on what foods they had eaten in the month before the infection. All four had consumed milkshakes made with a single-serving Blue Bell ice cream product called 'Scoops' while they were in the hospital, the CDC said. 'Scoops,' as well as the other suspect Blue Bell items, are mostly food service items and not produced for retail, said Paul Cruse, CEO of the Brenham creamery. Blue Bell says its regular Moo Bars were untainted, as were its half gallons, quarts, pints, cups, three-gallon ice cream and take-home frozen snack novelties . The CDC said the listeria isolated from specimens taken from four of the five patients at Via Christi St. Francis hospital in Wichita, Kansas, matched strains isolated from Blue Bell products obtained this year in South Carolina and Texas. The five patients became ill with listeriosis during their hospitalizations for unrelated causes between December 2013 and January 2015, said hospital spokeswoman Maria Loving. 'Via Christi was not aware of any listeria contamination in the Blue Bell Creameries ice cream products and immediately removed all Blue Bell Creameries products from all Via Christi locations once the potential contamination was discovered,' Loving said in a statement Friday to The Associated Press. Via Christi has eight hospitals in Kansas and Oklahoma. Blue Bell handles all of its own distribution and customer service, Cruse said, so it moved to pull suspect products from shelves, most of them institutional, as soon as it was alerted to the South Carolina contamination Feb. 13. Cruse did not suspect handling of those products after they left the Central Texas creamery. 'The only time it can be contaminated is at the time of production,' he", "summary": "Five people total develop listeriosis in Kansas after eating products from the production line at the Blue Bell creamery in Brenham, Texas . Listeria bacteria were found in samples of Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Country Cookies, Great Divide Bars, Sour Pop Green Apple Bars, Cotton Candy Bars, Scoops, Vanilla Stick Slices, Almond Bars and No Sugar Added Moo Bars . That contamination has been traced to a machine that extrudes the ice cream into forms and onto cookies, which remains off line ."}

Medical experts claim the image of a broken leg depicts injuries consistent with a history of violence on a child aged three to five. The advert was launched by Ed Miliband's party last week accusing the Tories of wanting to cut the NHS 'to the bone', despite Tory assurances that the health budget would be protected. Labour launched the poster last week claiming the Conservative party would not protect the health service from cuts . The controversial image was unveiled on Friday by shadow chancellor Ed Balls and shadow health secretary Andy Burnham as Labour's 'first poster of the 2015 general election campaign'. It showed the x-ray of a broken leg bone, under the headline: Next time, they'll cut to the bone.' It also featured the tagline: 'The NHS can't afford the Tory cuts plan.' But medics immediatly recognised the image as potentially showing the impact of repeated injuries suffered by an abuse victim. Labour stressed that the poster was designed by an external advertising agency, which used an image from a picture agency. But experts said it appeared to be 'very likely non-accidental injury', suggesting the broken bone could have been inflicted intentionally. Prof Christopher Colton, emeritus consultant in orthopaedic and accident surgery, Nottingham University Hospital, told the Telegraph: 'If that X-ray presented itself at a hospital, all the alarm bells would ring for possible non-accidental injury. 'There are absolutely clear two episodes of violence and possibly the bone bruise is a third.' Tory MP Julian Smith said: 'Labour must explain what due diligence they did to ensure their advert isn\u2019t based on any child\u2019s tragedy. The tone of their poster is unpleasant enough, I hope the provenance of the image is less toxic.\u2019 Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham and shadow chancellor Ed Balls unveiled the poster in Harlow, Essex on Friday . The x-ray shows a very recent break in the middle of the leg, but there is healed fracture above the ankle which could be three to four weeks old. There is also a 'slight white haze' in the centre of the leg bone suggesting a healed bone bruise or fracture which is around five to six weeks old. A Labour party spokesman said: 'This image is a stock photograph provided by one of the world's biggest picture agencies.\u200b' Peter Dazeley, the photographer credited on the Getty image, could not verify where it came from. Mr Balls and Mr Burnham used the poster to launch a highly political attack on the Tory party. Mr Balls said: 'George Osborne's Budget set out plans for deeper and more extreme spending cuts after the election. 'Our NHS just can't afford these extreme and risky Tory cuts. And after their broken promises on the NHS in this Parliament nobody will trust what the Tories say about the NHS.'", "summary": "Labour launched poster claiming the NHS faced a 'Tory cuts plan' The advert featured an x-ray showing a broken leg of a suspected toddler .

His work ethic has seen him build a business portfolio worth millions of pounds. And it seems Dragons\u2019 Den star Peter Jones implements the same principles at home. Yesterday the business tycoon, 48, revealed he limits his children\u2019s pocket money to \u00a325 a month - and expects them to earn it through household chores. He said he has also told them he won\u2019t be funding their first homes, but will reward money they earn themselves with contributions. Giving an interview, in which he also criticised the national curriculum for not teaching children business skills, Jones said: \u2018My pocket money is based on incentive.

It\u2019s a bone of contention.\u2019 Another prickly topic of conversation, no doubt, will be that Jones, who is worth an estimated \u00a3475 million, has told his children he will not be buying their first homes. Instead, he said will reward them by making small contributions on top of whatever they earn themselves, but offer nothing if they don\u2019t make money. He said: \u2018I want my kids to be polite and respectful, stand on their own two feet. In the future if they want to go and do charitable work, then I\u2019ll fund that charitable work. I\u2019ve said that rather than me buying them a house, I\u2019ll give them a contribution on top of what they deliver. So if they earn \u00a320,000 a year, I\u2019ll give them a tiny contribution on top. If they decide not to work, they don\u2019t get anything. I want them to do it for themselves.\u2019 Jones and his partner Tara have three daughters: Natalia, 12, Isabella, 10, and Talula, nine. His two eldest children, Annabelle, 22, and William, 18, from his marriage to ex-wife Caroline \u2013 are now both older than he was when he set up his first company, a tennis coaching academy, aged 17. Jones\u2019 extensive business portfolio includes technology website Expansys, gifts company Red Letter Days, and the re-launched camera chain, Jessops. And he has also established an entrepreneurs\u2019 foundation for schools, after growing frustrated at the lack of business training in the national curriculum. Speaking to Radio Times about the foundation, Jones said schools are \u2018obsessed\u2019 with times tables but fail to teach children about entrepreneurialism. Jones said he has also told his children he won\u2019t be funding their first homes, but will reward money they earn themselves with contributions . He said: \u2018I\u2019ve been campaigning as much as I can. I\u2019ve been an advocate for ten years now, across two governments \u2013 first with Gordon Brown, then with David Cameron \u2013 on enterprise, and really encouraging, pushing, cajoling, to do everything we can to embed enterprise in our national curriculum, and I continue to be disappointed that we just pay lip service to the issue.

Mornington Island is the largest of the North Wellesley Islands off the northern Queensland coast and has an indigenous population of more than 1000, primarily Lardil people. At the time of the incident, it was understood the group who were thought to be involved in the incident were taken from the island, with permission from the family. It was alleged the girl was attacked by four teenage boys aged between 14 and 16 . This was done as it was feared tensions would flare in the community and trigger a riot, News Corp reported.

However, only 22% of the starters in the current top four teams are qualified to play for England, compared to 28% last year. In 2014, just 23 English players appeared in the Champions League group stage, compared with 78 Spaniards, 55 Germans and 51 Brazilians. This season the three English clubs that reached the knockout stages of the Champions League started only 10 English players, compared to 12 French and nine Spanish in those three sides.

AS the host of Woman\u2019s Hour, Jane Garvey has chaired discussions on harrowing topics ranging from rape to domestic abuse. But despite her experience, the presenter has revealed she was left \u2018upset\u2019 after watching hours of hardcore pornography in preparation for the Radio 4 show\u2019s latest debate. The mother-of-two, 50, said she may have been \u2018na\u00efve\u2019 but was shocked by the way women were treated in the explicit clips, with many looking like they were in pain. She also raised concerns that pornography is \u2018no longer limited to the top shelf\u2019 as it was in her own childhood but has become easily accessible as \u2018erotica has gone mainstream.\u2019 Speaking during the debate \u2018Can Porn Empower Women?\u2019, Miss Garvey said: \u2018I have to say I spent an informative hour or so last week watching porn at work. I don\u2019t want to miss Call The Midwife. \u2018When I watched it last week, if I am really honest with you, I am probably a bit na\u00efve and vanilla in my taste, I don\u2019t think upset is too strong a word, but I was upset by the expressions of some of the women. I do not want to watch women in pain. It is not sexy. I don\u2019t get why I should be expected to get that. Why should I?\u2019 Other members of the panel, which included sex workers, defended pornography, claiming that not all porn is the same and that it can empower both men and women. Miss Garvey, who divorced television presenter Adrian Chiles, 47, in 2009, said access to pornography has changed since her childhood and that she worries what impact this could have on society. She said: \u2018When I was a child you might find a school friend\u2019s dad\u2019s copy of Playboy in his bedroom and have a blooming good look and be slightly amazed and a bit stunned and a bit baffled if you were me. It was not everywhere and now it is. It was not so easily accessible. Surely that has made a difference?\u2019 Statistics published by pornographic website Pornhub suggest that pornographic influences are having on how people view sex and relationships.

Psychotherapist Susie Orbach, 68, author of books such as Fat is a Feminist Issue and What Do Women Want?, agreed that what was once seen as pornography is now mainstream. She said: \u2018I think there is porn in every women\u2019s magazine. In Vogue and Cosmopolitan, we represent girls as if though they are always ready for it. That is a very interesting way of representing femininity and women. What used to be on the top shelf is now in every magazine and it is constructing a different relationship for girls in terms of their own bodies.\u2019 Since the release", "summary": "Jane Garvey left \u2018upset\u2019 after watching porn in preparation for debate .

Sarah Carr said for years she felt like she needed to go to the toilet 50 times a day - but urinating was like 'passing razor blades.' The now-23-year-old was bullied at school by children in primary school who told her she should 'wear a nappy' as she ran for the loo. Teachers thought she was making up her symptoms to get out of class and doctors didn't know what was wrong with her. At seven years old (left), Sarah Carr, now 23, began suffering pain and a frequent urge to urinate. As she got older (right) she began needing the loo 50 times a day, but said urinating was like 'passing razor blades' In 2013 she was finally diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, a chronic form of the condition which does not respond to antibiotics and can be hard to treat . But finally, it emerged she had the serious condition interstitial cystitis, which causes recurring pain, urgency, a need to pass water frequently and a burning sensation when passing urine. After reading leaflets about her condition she found a surprising cure: cutting out some of her favourite foods \u2013 including pizza and sweets. Interstitial cystitis is triggered by inflammation of the bladder wall, which can follow childbirth, surgery or repeated bouts of bladder infections, though sometimes there is no known cause. While most cases of cystitis clear up on their own or with antibiotics, interstitial cystitis does not respond to the drugs and can turn into a painful long-term condition that is hard to treat. Miss Carr, of Hull, chose to speak about her intimate problems to let other women suffering from the same illness know they were not alone. Her problems started when she was in primary school, when she could barely sit through a lesson without feeling a desperate urge to urinate. She said: 'I had the burning sensation like you're about to burst constantly. 'It was nearly every day. Interstitial cystitis causes recurring flare ups of discomfort in the bladder and pelvic area. Like regular cystitis, IC sufferers experience an urgency and frequent need to urinate. But the condition doesn't respond to treatment with antibiotics, because it is not caused by a bacterial infection. Around 400,000 people in the UK suffer the condition. More than 90 per cent of these cases are in women. The condition is commonly diagnosed around the age of 40. What causes IC? Researchers are not clear on the causes of the condition. There is a school of thought that believes the illness is inherited. It is also thought to be linked to other conditions including irritiable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia. Another theory is that one of the protective layers of the bladder wall may 'leak' in people with IC, allowing chemicals in the urine to irritate the bladder. People with IC often have small areas of scarring, stiffness or bleeding on the wall of their bladder.

The World Health Organisation\u2019s cancer agency asked a group of 17 international scientists to decide whether glyphosate posed a risk to humans. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared that the chemical, which is the world\u2019s most widely used weedkiller, is a \u2018probable human carcinogen\u2019. Glyphosate is most commonly used in the popular weedkiller Roundup, which is made by the American agro-chemical giant Monsanto. The firm \u2013 which strongly disputes the IARC\u2019s findings \u2013 sells the herbicide to farmers in the US, where crops can be genetically modified to give them immunity to glyphosate. American GM plants like maize and soya beans can then be blanket-sprayed with Roundup to get rid of weeds without killing the crop. Use of the chemical has soared in the past decade, and it has been found in water and food on the shelves in the UK, including bread and cereal bars. The IARC report points out that 750 products contain glyphosate, and its use has increased sharply with the development of GM glyphosate-resistant crop varieties. The research looked at evidence from studies published in the US, Canada, and Sweden since 2001. It concluded that there was evidence that glyphosate can cause tumours in mice and rats in laboratory experiments \u2013 and could cause DNA damage to human cells. IARC panel chairman Aaron Blair, from America\u2019s National Cancer Institute, said: \u2018There was sufficient evidence in animals, limited evidence in humans and strong supporting evidence showing DNA mutations and damaged chromosomes.\u2019 Dr Blair said concern is growing about glyphosate. But he pointed out that the IARC panel did not prove that glyphosate definitely caused cancer. He went on to say: \u2018We have looked at, \u201cIs there evidence that glyphosate causes cancer?\u201d and the answer is \u201cprobably\u201d. That is different to \u201cyes\u201d.\u2019 Monsanto has issued a fierce defence of Roundup, accusing the IARC group of relying on \u2018junk science\u2019 and calling for the report to be retracted. The firm\u2019s head of global regulatory affairs Philip Miller pointed to a four-year evaluation of glyphosate which was carried out for the EU by the German government, and concluded that the chemical was \u2018unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk in humans\u2019. American plants like maize (pictured) and soya beans can be genetically modified to give them immunity to glyphosate. They can then be blanket-sprayed with Roundup to get rid of weeds without killing the crop . He added: \u2018Unfortunately this review does not meet the standards used by respected agencies around the world.\u2019 Some academic experts were also critical of the findings. Dr Oliver Jones, from RMIT University, said: \u2018This sounds scary and IARC evaluations are usually very good, but to me the evidence appears a bit thin.\u2019 The warning has triggered calls for food watchdogs in the EU to investigate whether they will now need to impose controls on glyphosate.

Mike Brown \u2013 Ominous when he dropped first high kick but settled well and posed a threat whenever he had the ball. 7. Anthony Watson \u2013 A game of near-triumph for him, but he scored a \u2018try\u2019 which was ruled out, as was another he helped set up. 7. Mike Brown takes on Finn Russell as the England full back looked to create opportunities . Jonathan Joseph \u2013 Took his try with typical, swerving aplomb, to showcase his nifty footwork. Held up well in defence. 7. Luther Burrell \u2013 Squandered glorious early scoring chance. Forceful as ever, but not igniting this campaign as he did last year. 6. Jack Nowell \u2013 Exeter wing was electric with his broken-field running. Some suspect decision-making but good finish for try. 7. Jonathan Joseph dives over to score England's early try, which looked to have set them on their way . George Ford \u2013 His authority grows. Created openings with distribution and pace, and scored a try. All was well until late missed kicks. 8. Ben Youngs \u2013 Was a livewire threat early on and continued to test the Scottish defence with his darts around the fringes. 7. Joe Marler \u2013 Deft handling in run-up to Ford try, put in familiar busy shift in defence and was at the heart of set-piece onslaught. 7. George Ford dives over the line for his try in a game where he contributed 15 points and controlled the play . Dylan Hartley \u2013 This was a fast-and-loose encounter, so his work in the tight was most felt with his part in a first-half scrum blitz. 6. Dan Cole \u2013 The Leicester tighthead is quite content to win scrums and hit rucks, in which case he was in his element here. 7. Dave Attwood \u2013 Not as prominent as he was in Dublin, when his defensive work was so valuable and not among top carriers. 6. Dave Attwood gets the ball away out of the tackle as England in another good display from the second row . Courtney Lawes \u2013 Largely effective in the way he orchestrated the lineout and a dynamic, punishing presence around the field. 7. James Haskell \u2013 Made his fair share of tackles but no major carrying or breakdown impact. His place may be under threat. 6. Billy Vunipola \u2013 Determination to impose himself was clear from sheer number of times he pounded the Scottish defence. 7. Billy Vunipola goes on one of his characteristic runs as he offers England some momentum . Chris Robshaw \u2013 Not a towering presence before", "summary": "England create countless chances but made to work hard for win . Result takes England top of Six Nations table on points difference .

They immerse themselves in the world of their favourite characters by dressing up as them, collecting the merchandise and even going to conventions to meet others who share their passion. But some take it even further than this, spending thousands of pounds and travelling the world in pursuit of the actors who brought their favourite character to life. It's something actor Tom Felton, 27, is familiar with having grown up on screen playing Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. Scroll down for video . Tina Davies has been a fan of Tom Felton and his Harry Potter co-stars for years and has collected their autographs by meeting them at events and premieres over the last 15 years . He was only 12 when he found fame thanks to the JK Rowling books being turned into films and when he started going on the publicity trail to promote the films, he noticed a certain fan was always there. Her name was Tina Davies and she would be waiting for him outside hotels, film premieres and events he attended desperate for a glimpse of the star and hopefully a picture or autograph. Tom said: 'Tina follows me to every event I attend. I'm sure she has the best intentions but it is a little unnerving. 'I first spotted her when I had a press tour in Paris and I noticed this women following me around, she seemed to have an obsession with me and always seems to know where I am. 'Why does a middle-aged woman have an obsession with back then, a teenage boy?' He added that he knows Tina means no harm and he finds her 'sweet' but he said: 'She has followed my career for seven years, ultimately I am baffled as to why she wants to see me and what she wants from me.' Once, Tina, 56, from Swindon, waited for four hours outside an event he was attending to give him a card telling him she was sorry his dog had died after the star revealed he'd lost a pet on social media. So intrigued as to why Tina follows him around the world at her own time and expense, Tom decided to investigate the psyche behind the superfan for a BBC documentary that airs on BBC Three tonight. He even visited Tina's house and, surrounded by signed pictures of himself and posters of his friends and Harry Potter co-stars, he learnt why he has come to mean so much to Tina. She explained: 'I went out and brought the first one after that, that was it, it spiralled. 'When I saw Chamber Of Secrets and saw this blonde slimy git after Harry, I thought ummm I'm going to start watching him. I think to start off with it was the character Draco I liked and then gradually I got to like you, you're lovely.

His club benefited from the \u00a32million transfer of Fraser Forster from Newcastle to Celtic in 2012 and have now landed another payment in light of his \u00a310m move to Southampton in August. The windfall is all part of the \u2018solidarity contribution\u2019 mechanism set out in the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players. Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster was formerly registered with Wallsend Boys Club . Wallsend Boys Club is one of the country\u2019s most famous talent factories and had the likes of Alan Shearer, Peter Beardsley and Michael Carrick on their books . But because junior clubs have to make an application for their entitlement to the buying club within 18 months of the deal, Dale believes that millions could be going unclaimed by junior clubs worldwide. \u2018I'd query how many junior clubs are actually aware of the regulations and what they could be entitled to,\u2019 he told Sportsmail. \u2018It's always great to see former players go on to bigger things and everyone at the club is absolutely delighted to see Fraser playing at the top of the game, we all wish him well. \u2018At the same time, if the clubs which played a part in his early career can benefit in some small way from his move, this makes a huge difference to the young people we look after week in, week out.\u2019 Wallsend were entitled to payment from the transfer of Forster from Newcastle to Celtic in 2012 and from Celtic to Southampton last summer because the deals were made between different football associations . Former Newcastle and England striker Alan Shearer played for Wallsend Boys Club before joining Southampton's academy . Wallsend Boys Club chairman Steve Dale fears grassroots clubs could be missing out millions by not claiming money they are entitled to . English clubs only receive the payment when a player moves between clubs registered in different football associations (ie international transfers) and a fee is involved, as was the case with Forster when he swapped Scotland for England last month. It does not apply to domestic deals. Five per cent of every transfer fee between clubs in different associations is set aside to be distributed to any club \u2013 including professional - to which the player was registered between the seasons of their 12th and 23rd birthdays. The amount received is proportional to the time spent under their care, which is recorded on a \u2018player passport\u2019. For example, if a \u00a310m player spent just one season at a junior club they would land around \u00a325,000.

Arranged by Chicagoland Skydiving Center, the special event was enjoyed by 10 people who dropped from the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress in the skies over Rochelle, Illinois. Exiting the aircraft from 5,000ft, the skydivers each made a donation of $500 (\u00a3340) to the Collings Foundation \u2013 the non-profit organisation that operates the plane \u2013 in order to take part in the jump. One of the skydivers jumps out of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress through its bomb bay doors . Each skydiver made a donation of $500 (\u00a3340) to the Collings Foundation to take part in the jump . Filmed on GoPro cameras attached to helmets, the video begins with the skydivers boarding the heavy bomber aircraft at an airport in Rockford, Illinois. Developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Corps, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft. The prototype B-17 was designed and built at Boeing\u2019s own expense by a team of engineers led by E. Gifford Emery and Edward Curtis Wells. Boeing chief test-pilot Leslie Tower was at the controls of the Model 299 when it made its maiden flight on July 28, 1935. The name Flying Fortress was used to describe the aircraft because the Model 299 included multiple machine gun installations. The B-17 served numerous USAAF units in combat throughout World War II and was even used by the RAF in non-bomber roles. The B-17 Flying Fortress has become a symbol of power and the America Air Force. Capturing the closed bay doors from the inside of the plane, the video switches to show the aircraft's large propellers starting up before the B-17 leaves the runway. In the air, one of the skydivers checks out the numerous guns attached to the aircraft as well as the two pilots driving it from the cockpit. Before long the B-17 is cruising at around 5,000ft and the bay doors can be seen opening via a camera mounted to the bottom on the plane. Inside the skydivers stand over the opening floor and hold on to the railings on either side as Northern Illinois comes into view below. Waiting for the right moment, the skydivers then begin dropping from the plane at different times \u2013 as the camera underneath picks up their rapid exits. The video concludes with footage recorded from a GoPro, which shows the plane moving further away as the skydiver gets closer to the ground. Mike Wood, Chief Operations Officer at Chicagoland Skydiving Center and one of the jumpers in the video, spoke enthusiastically about the experience. One of the skydivers said jumping out of the bay doors was one of the most incredible experiences of his life .

Corey Knowlton sparked fury among animal rights activists after bidding for the right to shoot the animal at an auction held by the Dallas Safari Club last year. After news of the auction broke Mr Knowlton received death threats and has had to hire a private security team. Trophy: Texas big game hunter Corey Knowlton has been granted permission to bring the carcass of a Black Rhino back to the U.S. A file picture of two Black Rhinos. The Namibian government issues a small number of licences to hunt the animals with the proceeds used to fund anti-poaching efforts . The number of Black Rhinos left in Africa has fallen from 70,000 fifty years ago to just 5,000. Namibia controversially allows a small number of the animals, normally older male bulls, to be hunted each year with fees going to fund anti-poaching efforts. They claim the strategy has led to their black rhino population doubling between 2001 and 2012. More than 150,000 people signed petitions calling on the US Fish and Wildlife Service not to grant Mr Knowlton a permit to bring the carcass home. Campaign: More than 150,000 people signed petitions calling on the US Fish and Wildlife Service not to grant Mr Knowlton a permit to bring the carcass home . But the agency decided that as the $350,000 was going towards conservation efforts, allowing the carcass to be brought to the U.S. would not breach the endangered species act. Last year they approved a similar permit for another American hunter, Las Vegas-based investor Michael Luzich, who paid $200,000 directly to the Namibian government to kill a Black Rhino. Under Namibia's management plan, which began in 1995, the black rhino population has grown from 2,400 to 4,880 in 15 years. Prior to Namibia's poaching boom in the 1960s, the country had around 70,000 black rhinos. The program allows for the culling of five old male bulls to support younger males in mating and growing the population. There is a high demand for poaching rhino horns, since they are used as traditional Asian medicine in China and Vietnam. The horns can fetch as much as $50,000 per kilogram on the black market. Poachers\u2019 attempts to retrieve the horns have hit news headlines, with some efforts leaving behind gruesome pictures of rhinos bleeding to death. If the poaching continues, estimates by rhinosurvival.org say the rhino will be extinct by 2025. Since publishing the initial request in November, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service received more than 15,000 comments, as well as petitions with about 152,000 signatures demanding that it be denied.

Craig Monteilh was known to members of the Irvine Islamic Center in Orange County as Farouk al-Aziz, a French Syrian who was a devout and, at times, radical Muslim. However he was really a petty criminal with forgery convictions who was hired by the FBI to go undercover as part of an intelligence surveillance operation after 9/11. Monteilh went public with the operation after his cover was blown in 2007, which exposed some of the government's little-known methods of anti-terrorism policing. Now, in a new interview has given more details about what his mission entailed. Mole: Craig Monteihl, a petty criminal, was recruited by the FBI as an informant as part of post-9/11 surveillance operations. He went undercover as a radical Muslim for 15 months at an Orange County mosque . Speaking with HuffPost Live on Monday, Monteilh said he was paid to seek out potential threats and gain 'personal information' about such people. Agents sought him out after he spent some time in prison for using fraudulent checks. His mission was to obtain email address and phone numbers of anyone suspicious and get the names of any of their associates, which he would then feed back to his FBI handlers. He also planted some recording devices and was taught 'how to be Muslim', he claims. 'The FBI trained me in the tenets of Islam, in the elementary principles of Arabic, and just to blend into the community and to slowly integrate myself as a Muslim male,' Monteilh told HuffPost Live. However Monteilh's was taken one step further when he claims to have been told to become intimate with some of the women he was mining for information if it meant getting more from them. Scene: Monteilh started attending the Irvine Islamic Center in Orange County (pictured) saying his name was Farouk al-Aziz, a French Syrian who was a devout and, at times, radical Muslim . 'I portrayed myself as a unmarried male, although I was married,' he said. 'Within the Muslim community, they would help me to get a bride, so they would introduce me to single Muslim women. 'I would go out on dates and things like that. '(My FBI handlers) instructed me, if I was getting good intel, to allow it to go into sexual relations.' In a previous interview with The Guardian, Monteilh confirmed he had sex with at least one of the women he was surveying. Monteilh claims he received $177,000 tax free from the government for the 15 months of work he did, which equated to over $11,000 each month. Regret: Monteilh says he now realizes he was motivated by money and was spying on innocent people . Ironically, senior officials at the Irvine Islamic Center contacted the FBI when Monteih started speaking of jihad and plans to blow up buildings as part of an entrapment technique. In 2007 the center filed a restraining order against Monteilh,", "summary": "Craig Monteilh spent time in prison for using fraudulent checks .

Lib Dem candidate Adrian Hyyrylainen-Trett has spoken about his struggles with being accepted as gay, which led him to attempt suicide and go on a path of destruction to contract HIV as a way of 'ending things' He told Buzzfeed: 'I thought, \"What's another way of doing it?\" Even though I knew people were surviving from HIV, I thought, \"Perhaps if I can make myself so ill, get the worst strain possible, that would be one way of getting rid of myself.''' But the prospective MP said he realised once he was diagnosed he did not want HIV at all, and that all his actions were just an attempt to 'annihilate' himself. The disclosures have made Mr Hyyrylainen-Trett the first parliamentary candidate to discuss being HIV positive publicly. Labour MP Chris Smith previously announced his HIV positive status when he was leaving the House of Commons for the Lords. Mr Hyyrylainen-Trett recalled times when he was teased, bullied and beaten at school for being gay, leading him to attempt suicide twice while he was still at school. He even developed fibromyalgia as a result of the stress, leaving him housebound and bedbound at the tender age of 14. He moved from Norwich to London in 2001 after completing his degree in European Studies with Italian and French at the University of Kent. In the city he experienced another form of the isolation he felt while a teenager and started meeting men on the internet before he got involved in the gay wrestling scene. Some of these sessions led to more and during one he was asked to appear in a gay wrestling pornographic film, and agreed.

This led to him doing dozens of drugs and moving from one partner to another, before he contemplated how to catch HIV.

Dr Carlos Meulener, a dentist from New Jersey, has released a video showing the best way to floss teeth in order to have the healthiest smile. \u2018Brushing is great but it\u2019s not enough - you need flossing to remove the bacteria between the teeth,\u2019 he says. Dr Calos Meulener has released a video showing his 'one minute flossing technique' which he says helps rid the mouth of bacteria. He is pictured holding floss between two thumbs, about an inch apart . He advises taking a piece of wax dental floss and winding it up with the index fingers, but not so tightly that it hurts. When flossing the upper row of teeth, put the thumbs around an inch apart from each other on the floss. Dr Meulener said: \u2018The reason why most people have a problem flossing is that they try to get too much floss in their mouths. \u2018The way to control it is to use your thumbs for your upper teeth and middle fingers for your lower teeth. \u2018Put that amount of floss between these fingers so you can manipulate it easily from one side to the next.\u2019 Then, put the floss between two teeth and floss in and up and down motion along the teeth, rather than a sawing motion from side to side. 1. Take a piece of wax dental floss and put each thumb about and inch apart . 2. Put the floss between the upper teeth . 3. Keeping the back thumb stationary, move the front thumb up and down to floss the tooth . 4. Do not floss in a 'sawing motion' - back and forth - but up and down, rubbing the floss up and down the tooth . 5. Repeat using the middle fingers for the bottom teeth . \u2018We\u2019re flossing the walls of one tooth and the other tooth and polishing the bacteria off those surfaces,\u2019 Dr Meulener said. One thumb should stay stationary while the other thumb is moved up and down, creating the flossing motion. Similarly, when flossing the lower teeth, one middle finger should stay stationary while the other is moved, it in order to manipulate the floss so it rubs up and down against the inside of the tooth. Dr Meulener says this method, which takes just a minute, is the best and most efficient way to floss. He said: \u2018It takes a minute and it really makes a difference to dental health.\u2019 In the past, studies have shown that flossing teeth can prevent the build up of plaque, which sticks to teeth and causes irritation, inflammation to gums known as gum disease. Gum disease causes bad breath, bleeding gums and, if untreated, cavities, receding gums and tooth loss.

The partially complete lower jaw, which was uncovered in the Afar region of Ethiopia, is thought to belong to a species that may have been the first member of the Homo family. This would make it the common ancestor for modern humans - Homo sapiens - and their extinct relatives including Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Neanderthals. The fossilised lower jawbone, shown above with teeth still in the bone, was found in Ledi-Geraru in Ethiopia . Scientists say the fossil, which is known as LD 350-1, is recognisably human but also has more primative features that suggests it is older than other fossils belonging to the Homo family. Researchers who have digitally reconstructed the jaws of other ancient human ancestors say the fossil also matches what they would expect from this common ancestor. 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.

A former gas station employee and janitor in Vermont who died last June aged 92 had secretly amassed a fortune of around $8 million thanks to a hidden talent for picking successful stocks. Ronald Read's fortune only became public knowledge after his death when he bequeathed $6 million to his local library and hospital. During his lifetime Read was known to friends and neighbors as a man who sometimes held his coat together with safety pins and had a long-time habit of foraging for firewood. Read, who worked for almost 25 years at Haviland's service station in Brattleboro, was known for his flannel jacket and baseball cap. His most expensive possession was a 2007 Toyota Yaris valued at $5,000, which gave no hint of the size of his fortune. 'If he could save a penny, he would,' Bridget Bokum, a senior associate at his local Wells Fargo Advisors office told WSJ. Bokum together with Claire Johns, the executor of Read's will, is currently going through a five-inch-thick stack of stock certificates to determine his exact worth. 'We all knew he was into the stock market, but not to this extent,' said Johns. The secret to Read's financial success was that a well as being a shrewd stock picker, he also displayed remarkable frugality and patience with his shares. At the time of his death Read owned at least 95 stocks, many of which he had held for decades. The secret to Read's success was that a well as being a good stock picker, he displayed remarkable frugality and patience with stocks including Procter & Gamble . He had invested across a variety of sectors, including railroads, utility companies, banks, health care, telecom and consumer products but had avoided technology stocks. When Read received dividend checks in the mail he plowed the money back into more shares, said Bokum. Among his longtime holdings were Procter & Gamble, J.P. Morgan Chase, General Electric and Dow Chemical. At the time of his death, Read also had large stakes in J.M. Smucker, CVS Health and Johnson & Johnson. His portfolio also included some notable failures including Lehman Brothers Holdings, which famously collapsed during the financial crisis in 2008. One of the keys for Read's success was that he was prepared to stick with his picks for long periods of time. In 1959 he bought 39 shares of Pacific Gas & Electric for about $2,380 and they are now worth about $10,735. At the time of his death, he owned 578 shares in PG&E, worth just over $26,500.

Yet despite this, it seems that playing your pet a piece of classical violin music may be the best way to make them relax, according to new research. Scientists have found that playing Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings can calm cats and may even help them recover quicker after a visit to the vets. Scroll down for video . The cats were played clips of music through headphones while undergoing surgery, shown above, a heart monitor attached to their tongue measured their pulse and scientists recorded the diameter of their pupils . In a bizarre set of experiments, researchers fitted headphones to cats ears so they could listen to music while undergoing surgery at a veterinary clinic in Portugal. The scientists played two-minute bursts of classical, pop and rock music to the animals and measured their reaction while under anaesthesia. Most people will have heard music that sounds a bit like cats fighting - but it turns out that is not far from the kind music our feline pets actually enjoy. Scientists have created what they say is the first species-specific music for domestic cats by replicating some of the sounds the animals produce themselves. They say the music could provide new ways for cat owners to enrich the environments that their pets live in while also helping to calm agitated animals. The cat music has been created by psychologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and musicians at the University of Maryland. The music uses rhythms that mimics the pulsating of a cat's purr along with melodies that were similar to their high pitched meows. In tests against classical human music by composers Johann Sebastian Bach and Gabriel Faure, the cats showed stronger reactions to the feline tunes. Just like in humans, however, the younger the cat was, the more excited it got about the music - with middle aged cats seeming the least interested. They found that the classical music - Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings - made the cats more relaxed while Natalie Imbruglia's Torn was slightly less effective. Listening to AC/DC's Thunderstruck appeared to increase the stress levels of the animals. While listening to music is known to reduce pain and stress in human patients, the study is thought to be the first to show it can also have the same impact in cats. Dr Miguel Carreira, a veterinary surgeon at the University of Lisbon, Portugal who led the study, said: 'After reading about the influence of music on physiological parameters in humans, I decided to design a study protocol to investigate whether music could have any physiological effects on my surgical patients. 'In the surgical theatres at the faculty where I teach and at the private veterinary medical centre where I spend my time operating, environmental music is always present. 'During consultations I have noticed, for example, that most cats like classical music, particularly George Handel compositions, and become more calm, confident and tolerant throughout the clinical evaluation.'

The beloved dog died days after returning from the Crufts show in Birmingham, sparking an international murder mystery and claims he was 'murdered' by a bitter rival. And just as toxicology reports this week showed he had died after ingesting a fast-acting illegal pesticide, residents of his hometown of Lauw, Belgium, have revealed the small village is in the grip of a suspected serial cat killer. Scroll down for video . It was revealed two types of insecticides - called aldicarb and carbofuran- were to blame for Jagger's death, while residents in his hometown have revealed their fears they are in the grip of a serial cat killer . Three-year-old Jagger collapsed and died at his owner's home in Lauw, Belgium, 24 hours after winning a silver medal in his class at the world's biggest dog show. His devastated owner Aleksandra Lauwers, 34, was convinced the pedigree dog must have been given the beef laced with poison at the event - as it was the only time the dog was alone. However, toxicology reports released this week suggested he must have ingested it at his home in Belgium as the poison discovered in his system is notoriously fast-acting. Now locals have claimed ten dead cats have been found in the past two months alone. One resident, Els van Marsenille, claimed she had lost three since January and her neighbour two, according to David Sanderson, reporting for The Times. Local Linda Jans said she was now too scared to take her dogs out for walks in the village, claiming a pet killer unhappy about dogs' barking could operate quickly by simply throwing poison out into the streets and parks. Prize-winning Irish Setter Jagger was actually poisoned after he returned to his home country of Belgium . Local veterinarian Patrick Jans, (unrelated to Ms Jans), said he was waiting on toxicology reports to reveal what killed the local cats, but said there were 'symptoms suggestive of intoxication'. Their claims are backed up by the evidence - Caroline Kisko, secretary for the Kennel Club which organises Crufts, said this week two types of insecticides - called aldicarb and carbofuran - were to blame for Jagger's death. 'There has been a lot of concern about whether the poisoning happened at Crufts and we are now able to reassure all dog lovers who came to Crufts that this could not have been possible and it is highly likely that the poisons, thought to be on a piece of beef, were eaten in Belgium, shortly before Jagger's death.

Van Dijk said: 'It was quite a tough week. I've never experienced anything like it in my life. 'It would have been very disappointing if I'd not been allowed to play on Sunday, especially with it being my first final ever. 'But you know, justice was served and I was able to play.

Last week the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) gave Amazon permission to begin testing one particular type of drone that the company now says is obsolete because the technology is moving so quickly. However, the company has already been testing in secret for the last several month at its own restricted airspace in Canada, about 2,000 from the border. Scroll down for video . Amazon has been testing delivery drones at its British Columbia facility for several months after receiving a license for restricted airspace 2,000 feet from the US border in December . The online retailer had been granted an exemption for testing a prototype drone in rural Washington, though they say that the technology behind that application is already obsolete . The license went into effect on December 17, according to the CBC. FAA's regulations proposed earlier this year also state that the person controlling the drone must have constant sight of the robot. The body has only approved 48 out of more than 750 exemption requests for exemptions that would allow outdoor drone testing before new guidelines are in place. Amazon's applied last July but still does not have an exemption, as it has only received a 'experimental airworthiness certificate' for its previous prototype. Oil giant BP was the first company to get approved for commercial drones over US land last year and drone pilots for the exemptions have been required to get pilot's licenses. The approval process includes nearly 100 pages of paperwork, a four hour presentation at FAA headquarters and a site visit. Canada has fewer restrictions, essentially allowing Amazon do whatever testing they needed within their airspace, and only took three weeks to give the go ahead to the Seattle-based retailer's application.

+{"article": "A new injectable drug designed to eliminate double chins without surgery was unanimously recommended for approval by a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee this week. The drug, currently known as ATX-101, now only needs to receive final FDA approval before it becomes available to the public. Unlike current double chin surgeries, which require doctors to 'cut it out or suck it out,' ATX-101 will be a 'noninvasive, in-the-office procedure,' according to Dr. Susan Weinkle. Scroll down for video . A dermatologist prepares the injection site for ATX-101, a new injectable drug designed to eliminate double chins without surgery that was unanimously recommended for approval by an FDA advisory committee . ATX-101 works by eliminating the membrane of fat cells underneath the double chin. This causes the fat cell to burst, destroying it permanently. Side-effects include short-term swelling, bruising and numbness . Weinkle, a dermatologist who has been working with ATX-101 since 2007, said many people have fat underneath the chin, even if 'they're not fat in the rest of their body', she told ABC News. To insert the drug, Weinkle marks the area where she sees the 'max amount of fat' with a grid of tiny dots, which act as the injection sites for the ATX-101. Weinkle says the procedure only takes about five minutes and patients heal in two to three days - and don't even need to wear a bandage. The drug is a formulation of deoxycholic acid, a 'naturally occurring molecule' that helps our bodies break down the fat we receive from food, according to manufacturer KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals. Dr. Derek Jones, who presented ATX-101 to the FDA, said the drug destroys the membrane of the fat cells underneath the double chin. The ATX-101 treatment only takes five minutes to administer and two to three days to heal . This causes the fat cell to burst. Its remains are naturally absorbed back into the body, while the cell is destroyed permanently. As with any drug, there are side effects. They include short-lasting swelling, bruising and numbness that was found to be 'mild to moderate', according to dermatologist Adam M. Rotunda. Fleeting pain at the site of the injections was also reported. Rotunda noted in the trials that the intensity of the side effects decreased with each additional treatment session, he told Dermatology Times. Although the drug reaches its maximum desired effect if the patient undergoes six treatments spaced a month apart, Rotunda said he does not believe 'most patients' will require that many. Rotunda said ATX-101 could be a game-changer in terms of what dermatologists can do when patients are worried about their neck. 'We've been accustomed to addressing patient aesthetic concerns primarily from the chin up,' he told Dermatology Times. 'However, the neck...is critical in framing the lower half of the face and creating our profile. Changes in the neck as we age or gain weight can have profound effect on our self-esteem.'

Mere numbers, though, can\u2019t properly tell the tale of this nerve-shredding afternoon where credit must go to Wales for transforming a slender 14-13 interval lead in Rome into the 61-20 thrashing and igniting the subsequent thirst for points at Murrayfield and Twickenham. Jonny Sexton (left) and Paul O'Connell (right) arrive at Dublin Airport with the trophy fully in their grasp . Ireland's fans got a chance to touch the coveted Six Nations trophy outside Dublin Airport . When it all ended, with England a metre short of the French line in forlorn search of the title-clinching converted try, Hansen\u2019s eyes should have been watering with the wonder of it all. Boring? No way. A whopping 27 tries \u2014 after just 36 in the four previous rounds\u2019 dozen games \u2014 in a 221-point attacking rugby harvest. Amazing. Pivotal moments were numerous. With eight-try Wales 48 points clear of Italy, a margin that would have set Ireland the target of a 28-point win in Edinburgh, a vital late twist had the air of 2007 revisited (Italy scored a late try eight years ago to cut Ireland\u2019s margin and France won the title by a points difference of +4).

The tiny Ili Pika, an eight-inch long rabbit-relative, is one of the world's most endangered animals with less than 1,000 animals believed to be left in its natural habitat. The Ili Pika population is believed to have declined by almost 70 per cent since its discovery in 1983, scientists say. Adorable: The Ili Pika is one of the world's rarest mammals, and has been spotted for the first time in 20 years in its natural territory in the Xinjiang region of northwestern China . The Ili Pika, formally known as Ochotona iliensis, was discovered by conservationist Li Weidong in 1983, who named it after his hometown. The animals can only be found in the Tianshan mountain range in the Xinjiang region of northwestern China, and its territory is under threat, with the population rapidly declining. When the Ili Pika was first discovered, Mr Li and his team estimated that there were around 2,900 animals living in the Tianshan mountain range. Nearly 20 years later, in 2002, Mr Li conducted a new demographic, which found that the population had dropped to 2,000.

According to locals, Cherokee is teetering on the brink of extinction with only 300 native speakers left in the state. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accredited the new division of New Kituwah Academy in January. The school has been operating since 2004 but up until now only taken students from early childhood through fifth grade. Continuing studies: A Native American language school for grades 6-12 will open in North Carolina in a bid to keep Cherokee culture alive - the New Kituwah Academy has only been open to young students up until now . From their earliest years, children learn only in Cherokee at the facility. Only in the higher grades is English introduced, mostly as a bow to parents concerned about what happens after their children leave the school. Cherokee had no writing system until the early 1800s, when the renowned silversmith Sequoyah wrote a syllabary to put its sounds on paper. While English has one symbol for every letter, Cherokee has one symbol for each of its 80-plus syllables. Unlike many other languages, which focus on nouns and adjectives, Cherokee focuses on verbs. One verb can reveal how many people are talking, what they're doing and how near they are. The near demise of the language came largely thanks to the U.S. government. Written words: This chart shows the Cherokee alphabet - there are now fewer than 300 native Cherokee speakers remaining in North Carolina . Learning process: Cherokee tribe member Haley Smith, 11, works on an English assignment at New Kituwah Academy in Cherokee . Most Cherokee were forced to make a brutal march from the Southeast to Oklahoma in the 1830s. A few stayed behind, keeping a desperate grip on their way of life. Then, beginning in the late 1800s, officials set up boarding schools to eradicate the American Indian languages. Teachers punished students for speaking their native tongues. Without New Kituwah or something like it, 'the Cherokee language will for sure die,' said Walt Wolfram, director of the North Carolina Language and Life Project at N.C. State University. 'Lots of people remain skeptical about whether languages can be revived. But the [other] option is certain death. In that sense, Kituwah Academy is the only antidote for what will be inevitable.' New Kituwah is one part of the Eastern Band's effort to preserve the language, said Annette Clapsaddle, director of the Cherokee Preservation Foundation, which has given almost $2 million to the school. Heritage: In this February 10, 2015 photo, a statue of Sequoya, creator of the Cherokee alphabet, stands in front of the New Kituwah Academy in Cherokee, North Carolina . Other initiatives include Cherokee language programs at public schools and a Cherokee studies program at Western Carolina University, she said.

Scroll down for video . CBS News correspondent Lara Logan pictured shortly before she was sexually assaulted in Tahrir Square while she was reporting on the Egyptian protests in February 2011. She was admitted to hospital this week for the fourth time this year amid ongoing complications from the attack . Mr Butowsky 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.' CBS told Breitbart in an email: 'We were sorry to hear this morning that Lara was readmitted to the hospital. We wish her a speedy recovery.' 'In spite of everything she\u2019s had to face in the last two years, people have no idea the physical suffering she has been enduring due to the brutal sexual assault she encountered,' Logan's family friend Ed Butowsky (pictured left) said . A handful of weeks ago, CBS released a similar statement after Logan was admitted to hospital in late February, as she suffered internal bleeding reportedly from diverticulitis--a potentially stress-related intestinal condition. The foreign affairs correspondent has digestive diverticulitis, reported Page Six. The condition could have been aggravated by stress. She was expected to remain in the hospital for several days to recover.

Banks including RBS and Lloyds have again come under fire over their treatment of small businesses. It has emerged many put firms into high-interest fixed-rate loans then charged them huge fees to switch when interest rates plummeted. MPs are stepping up pressure on high street lenders, urging them to review their sales of the loans, which have trapped thousands of businesses in poor deals. Members of the Treasury Committee are said to be 'furious' the City watchdog failed to protect these small firms. Banks have already paid \u00a31.8billion in compensation for mis-sold 'interest rate swaps', meant to protect firms if interest rates rose. When rates fell to record lows many companies were hit with huge 'breakage' penalties if they wanted to switch deals. More than 14,000 small businesses received compensation. But fixed-rate loans and tailored business loans \u2013 the centre of the latest row \u2013 are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, meaning customers mis-sold them are not eligible for compensation. The FCA says such loans can also saddle businesses with huge switching fees. Some have an interest rate swap buried in the contract, but even the more basic loans can come with huge unpredictable break penalties. According to the Treasury Committee, fixed-rate loans and tailored business loans can be just as dangerous as interest rate swaps. It has emerged 60,000 firms were sold these loans \u2013 about half by Lloyds, around 11,000 from RBS, and 11,272 by Clydesdale Bank.

It helps a person's body fight cancer cells by recognising those cells as impostors. However, it isn't available on the NHS and costs \u00a325,000 per session. Alex will need 10 to 12 sessions. The treatment is Alex's only hope to win the battle which has left her exhausted, confused and unable to sit and play with her young daughter Willow Mae . Initially the council information officer was given the good news that the company developing the treatment are looking for patients to try it on Britain - and they were willing to treat them for free. But then came a cruel twist. Because Alex had a tube inserted directly into her kidneys as part of a previous course of treatment, she was deemed not suitable for the trial. It was then that the family decided the only course of action open to them was to pay. So they launched Quest For Life appeal in a desperate attempt to save Alex's life.

+{"article": "Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the fraternity at the center of the racist University of Oklahoma video, has its roots in the pre-Civil War Deep South. 'We came up from Dixie land,' says a ditty from an old songbook, boasting about SAE's success. Now, nearly 160 years after its founding at the University of Alabama, another song - this one chanted by members of the frat's University of Oklahoma chapter and containing racial slurs and lynching references - hearkens back to the bad old times in the land of cotton and puts a new spotlight on the group's activities over the years. SAE officials insist the chant is neither a sanctioned song nor is it taught to fraternity members. This is believed to be a portrait of the original founding members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity in 1856 at the University of Alabama . Chappell Cook (bottom row, second from right) objected to the fraternity expanding North because he believed 'agitation' over slavery would make it impossible for 'harmony' Though the fraternity has its own fraught racial history. Members originally planned to keep the fraternity on in the South. When the question of 'Northern Expansion' was brought up, one charter member - later a Confederate army surgeon - said he didn't think heading north was wise because 'the constant agitation of the slavery question' would make getting along impossible. It is claimed that the fraternity did not invite a black member until 1966 - and it took one activist brother seven ballots and a threat to ban every other new pledge before the other brothers assented. In more recent years, fraternity chapters across the country have gotten into trouble over racial incidents - including a hip hop-themed 'Cripmas party' at Clemson University and an entire chapter being suspended at Washington University at St. Louis in 2013 over allegations of racial insensitivity. If there are any other chapters that use the song, 'we need to address that with those chapters and stop it immediately to stamp out this type of behavior,' said Sigma Alpha Epsilon spokesman Brandon Weghorst. The lyrics 'are so hateful and spiteful that it's embarrassing to think that Sigma Alpha Epsilon members would even know the chant or how it goes, if they've heard it.' The fraternity was also investigating reports of other SAE incidents that may have been tainted with racism, Weghorst said. Outed: Levi Pettit was identified by his family on Tuesday night.

She was dazed from her injuries and couldn't object to his advances, she said. In court on Tuesday: Ellen Pao(left) leaves the courthouse during a lunch break from her trial in which she claimed her former colleague Ajit Nazre (right) made sexual advances after she was in a car accident .

Pao claims in her lawsuit that she was denied a promotion at the firm because of gender bias and then fired after she complained. Her lawsuit has spotlighted gender imbalance at elite Silicon Valley investment companies that are stacked with some of the nation's most accomplished graduates - multiple degree holders from schools such as Stanford and Harvard who are competing aggressively to back the next Google or Amazon. Women, however, are grossly underrepresented in the venture capital and technology sectors. Pao addressed that issue under questioning by her attorney, saying her lawsuit was aimed in part at creating equal opportunities for women in the venture capital sector.

Improper treatment: Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao is suing her former employer, Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers, for $16 million alleging she was sexually harassed by male officials . Pao was questioned for the first time by Hermle. Their exchanges were often tense, with Pao staring at the lawyer and pausing before responding yes or no. Hermle also showed emails to the jury in which Pao and the co-worker exchanged compliments and banter. In one email from 2006, after the affair began, Pao wrote that she was always looking out for Nazre- 'never stopped, never will.' In text messages that year, she said she didn't think he was a bad person and she wasn't mad at him for not being able to have a real relationship at the time. Pao previously testified that she began the affair after the colleague said his wife had left him. She said she broke it off several months later when she learned that was a lie.

It was a seminal moment of the Paralympics, when the watching public realised Paralympians are athletes first and foremost. Joy Cundy is aiming for gold at the Rio 2016 Olympics after his dramatic disappointment at London 2012 . Now Cundy, a five-time Paralympic champion swimmer and cyclist, is going for gold at the Rio Games in 2016, with the Paracycling Track World Championships, which begin on Thursday, a key indicator. The 36-year-old from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire said: 'I've always got that missed gold in London that's always playing on the back of my mind. 'That helps me get up in the morning, continue training and make sure we put all the wrongs to right when we get to Rio. 'I seem to be still getting faster and in training I'm in better form than I was prior to London. 'I'm not getting any younger, but I'm good enough to keep going through to Rio. 'Apeldoorn's going to be the first checkpoint to see if I'm on target.' Race commissaries deemed rider failure to be the result of a start gate issue however Cundy disagreed . Cundy, favourite for gold before his false start in the 1km time trial, shows his outrage after his exit . Cundy acknowledges Tokyo 2020, when he will be 41, may be four years too far and Rio may be his last chance. He added: 'I keep thinking I'm new to the sport, but I joined the squad in 2006. This is my eighth year on the team. 'I've nearly had as many years on the cycling team as I had on the swimming team. 'It's certainly getting harder with each year I do it.' Yet Cundy is still making improvements. Despite being hospitalised to intensive care last November with a swollen epiglottis, Cundy bounced back to post a sea-level personal best in his favoured kilo event at the Newport International event in January. Cundy aims to put his blow-up in the Olympic Velodrome behind him at the Paracycling Track World Championships, which begin in the Netherlands on Thursday . The track in Apeldoorn, Holland which hosts this week's competition is not known for being fast, though, so returning with the world champion's rainbow jersey is the primary objective. Cundy is held back by a team official after the DNF . Cundy added: 'It's about winning the world title and performing as well as I can against my main competitors.'

Souvenir scans of the unborn baby should not be carried out in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, say doctors. Such keepsake images are shown off by proud parents-to-be, who can buy special wallets and photo frames to mark every stage of pregnancy. But new advice from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists rules against the growing trend when there is no medical reason for doing an early-stage scan. A new scientific review says ultrasound \u2013 which uses high-frequency sound waves to provide images of the foetus \u2013 could expose it to unknown risks. Although there is no evidence of harm, the \u2018precautionary principle\u2019 should apply, it says. Dr Christoph Lees, Reader in Obstetrics and Fetal Medicine at Imperial College London and lead author of the paper said the review looked specifically at the first 10 weeks in the womb. Normally a scan would be ordered only for a potential problem identified by a clinician and in those circumstances it was perfectly safe, he said. But an increasing number of clinics were offering keepsake images from as early as six weeks, he said. He said: \u2018Ultrasound scanning in the embryonic period is an invaluable resource in several important scenarios where the embryo is at possible risk. \u2018There are presently no grounds for questioning the safety of diagnostic ultrasound in this context. \u2018However, ultrasound imaging is increasingly being used without obvious medical justification and we have to be aware of the possibility of subtle long-term adverse effects, particularly in the first weeks of gestation when the embryo is potentially the most vulnerable.\u2019 A pregnant woman looks towards a scan of her unborn baby. An increasing number of clinics are offering keepsake images from as early as six weeks . Dr Christoph Less of Imperial College is the lead author of the paper which advises against scans of foetuses during the first 10 weeks in the womb unless they are done for medical reasons . The review was produced by the Scientific Advisory Committee at the RCOG to provide doctors with up-to-date information about the issue. The US Food and Drug Administration issued similar advice in December, saying excess ultrasound at any stage in pregnancy should be avoided. Dr Lees said one of the possible harms might come from the slight heating effect produced by ultrasound which was more easily dissipated by the placenta after 10 weeks of pregnancy. He said the safest period for taking souvenir scans was 20 weeks of pregnancy and beyond. The review highlights the various types of ultrasound, including B-mode \u2013 the most commonly used form of ultrasound in obstetrics \u2013 colour and pulse wave Doppler. Colour and pulsed wave Doppler involve greater average intensity and power outputs than B-mode and are not recommended at all during the first 10 weeks. Additionally, there has been a move to perform 3D and 4D ultrasound scans earlier in pregnancy, states the paper.

Clearly suffering injuries as a result of the helicopter crash, the pilot still has bloodied bandages wrapped around his head.

Nevertheless, the sight of Al-Muhaysini standing over the pilot and ranting about his possible murder while wielding a large knife has the same chilling impact as any ISIS release. Al-Muhaysini's primary demand is that the Syrian regime release Abu Mus'ab as-Suri - a notorious Al Qaeda linked militant who was arrested in Pakistan in 2005 and later rendered to his homeland. Aleppo-born As-Suri - who holds Spanish citizenship remains a wanted man in Spain on suspicion of taking part in the Islamic Jihad Organization's 1985 bombing at Madrid's El Descanso restaurant, which left 18 dead.

Jose Chua Lopez, 20, has suffered from a heart defect from birth and was hoping to enter the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he has an appointment in 10 days. 'My world has fallen down,' Chua said. 'This needs to be fixed quickly.' World has fallen: Jose Chua Lopez, 20, and his mother, Myra Lopez Martinez, said he had been denied a visa for the second time that would have allowed him to seek treatment for heart and liver conditions . His mother, Myra Lopez Martinez, said her son could die if he cannot receive the transplants. A spokeswoman for the State Department, Jen Psaki, said people at the department are looking into the case, though the department did not have a comment on Chua's case. Consejo de Latinos Unidos, which is based in the US where it helps uninsured people secure medical care, stepped in to try to get Chua to the Mayo Clinic. The organization's director, Kevin Forbes, said the case was mishandled at the US Consulate in the northern city of Hermosillo, where Chua lives. He said that consulate officials processed an application for a tourist visa when they should have told Chua to apply for a humanitarian visa and that they then failed for weeks to respond to queries about his status. 'We have dealt with around two dozen similar international cases,' Forbes said. 'They have never denied us a visa. It's the first time this has happened.' Struggle: Chua's friends and family raised $15,000 to pay for an evaluation leading up to the treatment, and though the operation could millions more, Chua's mother says they will try . Weakened: Chua's heart has only one ventricle, which causes circulation problems, and at this point, in spite of several heart surgeries, his liver has also been damaged . Come together: Chua and his family have held fundraisers, such as Coffee for a Life, where several musical acts played to raise money for the treatments . Big hopes: Chua wants to overcome his health problems and hopes to become a doctor . Long road ahead: Chua's family says the transplant will cost much more, and even as they are looking for help to fund it, they are unsure about how to pay the high cost . Forbes said the family would file a visa application on humanitarian grounds shortly and he hopes the problem will be resolved in two or three days. He called the situation an 'absolute abomination.' Chua's heart has only one ventricle, causing circulation problems that mean blood reaches only one of the four chambers, said Dr Ernesto Duarte, who treats him. Chua underwent three open-heart surgeries between the ages of 5 months and 12 years, including a cardiac implant that stopped working properly in 2013. At this point Chua's liver has also been damaged, so he needs a double-organ transplant, a procedure that is not performed in", "summary": "Jose Chua Lopez, 20, has an appointment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota in 10 days .

Intelligence chiefs at the listening post are aiming to recruit a new generation of computer wizards to tackle the growing threat of cybercrime. The 70 or so candidates who successfully apply for the course will be given a glimpse into the latest cyber-technologies as well as learning new skills including cyber-security and hacking. Britain\u2019s spy centre )pictured above) is offering a \u00a32,500 bounty to attract would-be surveillance sleuths to take a ten-week course . The top-secret Cheltenham-based spy agency, which provides electronic surveillance of the nation\u2019s enemies, have taken the unprecedented step to help deliver its mission to keep the UK safe. The Government is increasingly concerned that terrorists and enemy countries could seek to mount a crippling cyber-attack to bring down Britain\u2019s economy, energy supply and national defences at the click of a mouse. Attackers ranging from lone criminals to rogue states seek to steal industrial secrets or spread mayhem and fear. A report recently found that four in every five big firms in the UK experienced some sort of serious cyber-security breach last year. US movie giant Sony Pictures was also hacked by North Korea. But experts say there is a dire shortage of specialists able to defend Britain\u2019 s computer systems from increasingly sophisticated assaults by hostile states and terrorists. Agents at GCHQ unveiled plans for the summer school, the first of its kind, amid mounting warnings that Britain is one of the world\u2019s major cyber-crime targets, and needs a new type of army to wage war against its digital foes. The course, which will run from July 6 to September 11, is aimed at computer science students in their first or second year at university who have an interest in cyber beyond that of their studies and are skilled in at least one computer language. The summer school will feature lessons from GCHQ\u2019s own cybersecurity experts, as well as guest speakers from some of the world\u2019s leading technology companies. To qualify for a place on the Cyber Insiders Summer School, students will need advanced coding skills, as well as the ability and tenacity to solve a variety of complex problems.

They will learn new technical skills in areas such as cyber security, ethical hacking, penetration testing and security networks. They will also learn about GCHQ\u2019s role in defending the UK against cyber threats. The programme will culminate in a \u2018live\u2019 war games-style exercise where they will be able to put the skills that they\u2019ve learned into practice.

He said that the way we currently deal with death is to 'poison people with opiates' A British scientist has claimed the terminally ill should be given hallucinogenic drug LSD. David Nutt, a former government drug tsar, thinks that psychedelic trips might be able to lead to long-term benefits in a person\u2019s thinking. The 63-year-old said that using the drug is the 'great unanswered question in neuroscience'. Professor Nutt was sacked from his job as the Government's chief adviser on drugs in 2009 after saying ecstasy and LSD were less harmful than alcohol. But he maintains that psychedelic trips might help terminally ill patients feel at one with the world. 'The way we deal with death is to poison people with opiates so that they can\u2019t think,' The Independent reported him saying. 'But on LSD it\u2019s as if they have died, as if they\u2019ve gone out to another place. They exist beyond their body. 'That experience can give them a sense of perpetuity, of permanence, of being part of the cycle of life.' At a briefing in London this week, he spoke out against restrictions on research on recreational drugs which he called 'the worst censorship in the history of science'. But having been turned down by 'classic funders', he raised the more than \u00a332,000 on crowdfunding site Walacea.com. In the controversial study 20 British volunteers will be the first in the world to have their brains scanned while high on LSD. Early results are said to be 'exciting' but the full findings must wait until more funding can be found to complete the research. He compared current attitudes to studying recreational drugs with the Catholic church's clampdown on pioneering Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei in the 17th century. He said: 'The only comparable example is when the Catholic church banned the telescope in 1616. 'We've banned research on psychedelic drugs and other drugs like cannabis for 50 years. 'Truly in terms of the amount of wasted opportunity, it's way greater than the banning of the telescope. This is a truly appalling level of censorship.' In the controversial study, 20 British volunteers will be the first in the world to have their brains scanned while high on LSD . The LSD study involved giving the volunteers injections of a 75 microgram dose of LSD before probing the activity of their brains. Two kinds of scans were used, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (Meg), which measures small magnetic fields generated in the brain. None of the participants reported having a bad experience, but three described some anxiety and temporary paranoia. Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, also from the Imperial College team, said the dose of LSD given to the volunteers was a 'tiny speck'. But he added: 'The effects are quite profound. It would be described as a moderate dose, but a moderate dose of LSD can still produce a profound state of consciousness.

Take a moment to consider your heart - the most precious of muscles. Cardiovascular diseases killed 17.5 million people in 2012 - that's 30 per cent of all deaths. That\u2019s enough to send your heart rate rocketing to a dangerous level \u2013 but the good news is there's a lot you can do to keep healthy. When it comes to keeping your heart in tip-top condition, there are some factors such as genetics that you can\u2019t change. If you have a family history of heart disease, then you are at increased risk yourself. However, there is plenty you can do to decrease your risk whether you have a family tendency or not. Here are some simple changes you can start making today to reduce your risk of heart problems in the future... DITCH THE FAT-FREE DIET . You have probably been advised to cut out saturated fats and replace butter with unsaturated fat spreads. This is because a diet high in saturated fats is thought to be one factor that leads to high levels of bad cholesterol in the blood... which in turn may cause narrowing of the arteries and heart attacks. However, there is now some controversy as to whether these dietary changes make much difference to your risk of heart disease. A recent overview of multiple studies found no evidence that restricting saturated fat and increasing polyunsaturated fat consumption lowered the risk of developing heart disease. The jury is still out on this one, and it shouldn\u2019t be used as an excuse to eat high fat doughnuts, pastries, chips and other sources of processed, saturated fat. However, butter, cheese and cream in small quantities may not be the complete villains they were thought to be. Much-maligned butter may not be the dietary villain we once thought, says Dr Sally Norton . KNOW YOUR WAIST-TO-HIP RATIO . The association between heart disease and being overweight is extremely strong. Not least because obesity puts you at risk of type 2 diabetes which, in itself, increases the risk of heart disease and multiple other conditions. If you carry more weight around your waist than your hips you are even more at risk. To calculate your waist to hip ratio, divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. A high ratio (over 0.85 for women or one for men) means increased risk of health problems such as heart attacks, high blood pressure or diabetes\u2026 even if you aren\u2019t that overweight. Dr Sally Norton reveals her top tips to help people keep their hearts healthy.

The Drug Enforcement Agency has yet to comment on the findings in the expos\u00e9 from the DOJ's Office of Inspector General. At least seven DEA agents admitted to investigators that they had sex with hookers while on overseas assignments. But instead of firing or prosecuting them, the agency treated their cases as a 'local management issue' and suspended them for between 2 and 14 days. The IG cautioned in the report, released Thursday morning, that U.S. law enforcement personnel who engage in illicit sex \u2013 even in places where it's legal or unofficially tolerated \u2013 can be vulnerable to 'coercion, extortion, and blackmail.' The Republican chairman of the congressional panel that specializes in inter-governmental investigations lobbed rhetorical bombs at the Justice Department after the report surfaced online, calling its allegations 'truly stunning.' 'Let there be no mistake, this is a national security threat,' said Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz. SCROLL DOWN TO READ THE REPORT .

Chaffetz promised that his panel, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, 'will pursue this vigorously' after next week's congressional recess. In all, the IG report flagged 621 cases where agents in the FBI, DEA, ATF and U.S Marchalls Service were accused of a wide variety of sex-related offenses. They ranged from sexting and sexual liaisons between supervisors and subordinates to the consumption of child pornography and sexual abuse of minors and prison imnates. In the prostitudion cases, the IG wrote, 'DEA supervisors treated the alleged misconduct as a local management issue' even though the 'these special agents held Top Secret clearances.' One case involved agents 'patronizing prostitutes and frequenting a brothel while in an overseas posting. ... It was also alleged that one of the subjects in the supervisors\u2019 group assaulted a prostitute following a payment dispute.'

In that case, the AARD allegedly engaged in sexual relations with prostitutes at a farewell party in the AARD\u2019s honor.' 'There were also allegations operational funds were used to pay for the party and the prostitutes who participated.' In all, six hookers attended that soiree.

Ms Vlachonis' specific advice about what not to eat while pregnant - 'dairy, rich fatty meats, pork, peanut butter, wheat and sugar, for example' - is very much in keeping with Ms Paltrow's strict diet, so should come as no surprise to dedicated readers of the health-focused website.

Mr Aamer, a father of four, has been incarcerated in the naval facility in Cuba for 13 years without charge or trial. His supporters in Parliament will use a backbench debate to renew pressure on the White House to keep the promise to free the terror suspect, who lived in South London with his wife and children. MPs will also question whether the US authorities secretly negotiated to send him to Saudi Arabia to face possible torture \u2013 despite repeatedly telling the Government he would be sent back to Britain. Meanwhile, Amnesty International will hand a 32,000-signature petition to Downing Street calling for him to be freed. Saudi-born Mr Aamer 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. But redacted documents released under Freedom of Information requests show US officials continued to hold top-level meetings with Saudi ministers which indicate they were discussing sending him to the Arab kingdom instead.

The crust and some of the upper mantle form tectonic or lithospheric plates 60 to 90 miles (97 to 145km) thick that are like the top side of conveyor belts carrying continents and seafloors. They are responsible for the formation of continents, and are still active - as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions show. However, researchers have never been able to work out why the Earth developed tectonic plates, but other planets did not. Last year, Yale said it had solved the mystery - and said the key is tiny minerals within rocks. The research suggests how and when Earth came to develop one of its most distinct features - rigid tectonic plates - and why Venus, Earth\u2019s twin-like neighbor, never has. 'We think it all comes down to the behavior of tiny grains of minerals within rocks,' said Yale geophysicist Dr David Bercovici, lead author of research published in the journal Nature. The researchers argue that in Earth\u2019s early days, mantle convection caused weak zones in the lithosphere - the outermost shell of the planet. These zones persisted, developed into plate boundaries, and ultimately connected to form a global network of tectonic plates. The weak zones, they argue, resulted from the tendency of mineral grains in rocks to shrink as the rock deforms. This new layer is a \u2018superviscous\u2019 region, where liquids are under such intense pressure that they are extremely stiff. It extends from 410 miles (660km) underground to 930 miles (1,500km). In laboratory experiments, the researchers found that an abundant mineral in the mantle called ferropericlase began to increase in strength at pressures equivalent to those 410 miles (660km) underground - the upper-lower mantle boundary. And this strength increased threefold at depths of 930 miles (1,500km) deep. By simulating how it behaves with another dominant mineral at the same level - bridgmanite - the researchers calculated that the viscosity or stiffness of the mantle rock at 930 miles deep is 300 times great than at 410 miles deep. To put that in perspective, on the pascal-second scale the viscosity of water is 0.001, peanut butter is 200 and this stiff mantle layer is 1,000 billion billion. \u2018The result was", "summary": "Research was carried out by scientists at the University of Utah . They crushed minerals between diamonds to mimic Earth's core . And they found there must be a new region 930 miles underground . The superviscous region could explain why some plates don't sink . And the findings also indicate Earth's interior is hotter than thought ."}

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany and his team-mates had a tough night in Barcelona on Wednesday . Chelsea were knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain at the same stage as City but take home less money . The reasoning behind City's increased income is their league positioning from last year, which affects the market pool shared between the clubs and accounts for half of the money paid to participating clubs. The Premier League champions get 40 per cent of the money set aside for English sides, with Liverpool taking 30 per cent, Chelsea on 20 per cent and Arsenal getting just 10 per cent.

Salesman Darren Sykes, 44, lured his two boys Paul, 9, and his brother Jack, 12, to the attic with fun-size chocolate bars to play with a new model railway then set a fire downstairs and closed the loft hatch with all three inside. The bodies of Mr Sykes and Paul were found in the loft and Jack was rescued still conscious by firefighters from the bottom of the loft ladder but died five days later in hospital. Jack managed to tell a police officer and hospital consultant before he died from 50 per cent burns: 'It was my dad that started the fire' and 'My dad did it on purpose.'

He said she bore no blame for the tragedy and told her: 'You have nothing to blame yourself about.' The inquest heard Mr Sykes, worried over access rights to his children, 'coldly planned' the fire at his home 'with the specific purpose of ending two young lives'. Investigating officer Detective Sargent Stuart Hall said: 'I believe the children were almost lured into the loft by the newly purchased train track and fun-size chocolate bars which had been left there to maintain their attentions.' The inquest heard that Mr Sykes felt 'the world was against him' after a meeting with CAFCASS - which represents children in family courts two days before the tragedy. He formed the impression that Paul had said he only wanted to see his father for one hour a week during a discussion over visiting rights.

Delaney, a father of four, had to be cut free from the wreckage of the crash by firefighters and a football sized portion of cannabis - worth around \u00a31,000 - was found in his jacket. The Department of Transport had initially refused to pay Delaney any compensation because he was caught in a criminal act, namely the sale of cannabis. Senior judges at the Court of Appeal have ruled that the Government must pay costs and compensation, likely to run into millions, to a man severely injured in a car crash who had cannabis.

The smart money, however, would be on a clash of two siblings as the emotional centrepiece of what ought to be a fascinating three days.

SNP versus USA? Let's not go there. Playing America in the Davis Cup is not what it was twenty years ago, but there is still a cachet about the fixture that was the original challenge match for this competition when it was invented in 1900. It is mostly the homecoming of the Murrays that will ensure that the indoor arena next door to Celtic Park will be noisily packed to the rafters when the match begins. Jamie, who has had a cold, on Thursday declared himself fully fit. The doubles will see a crescendo reached, and it is notable that one of the game's most experienced Referees, Stefan Fransson, has been allocated to the match to ensure that everything remains as orderly as possible. As Jamie pointed out, the crowd will be 'full of people we've known our whole life, a lot of familiar faces.' Andy acknowledged that part of the task for him will be to control his emotions over the three days: 'The beginning of the matches are normally where I find it would affect me most in Davis Cup.

Researchers have found that some species were short - measuring under five feet tall - while others would have grown to heights of almost six foot. The study is the first in 20 years to compare the body size of humans who lived between 1.5 million and 2.5 million years ago. Early humans living in Africa almost two million years ago came in a range of shapes and sizes, just as people do today, a new study claims. This image shows the skeleton of the \u2018Nariokotome Boy\u2019 (Homo ergaster) Three species are generally recognised to have roamed Africa during this time frame: Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis and Homo ergaster . Researcher Dr Jay Stock, from Cambridge University's Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, said: 'If someone asked you 'are modern humans six foot tall and 70kg?' you'd say 'well, some are, but many people aren't, and what we're starting to show is that this diversification happened really early in human evolution.' Nutrition and local environmental factors probably played a role in making some early humans larger than others. Experts also believe that sexual dimorphism (pronounced differences in appearance between males and females, such as size) might have played a part too. \u2018However, almost all studied\u2026 groups include smaller and larger individuals and assessing sex based on the isolated and fragmentary postcranial remains of early Homo is nearly impossible,\u2019 they say in the study. Another possibility, thought to be less likely, is that there were numerous species belonging to the human family Homo that varied in appearance. Measurements of fossils from sites in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, and Georgia in eastern Europe, revealed significant regional variation in the size of early humans during the last Ice Age. Some groups, such as those living Olduvai, Tanzania, measured just 4.8 feet on average, while those from the Koobi Fora region of Kenya grew to heights of 5.8 feet. The evidence also suggests that big bodies and long legs were not prerequisites for spreading out of Africa into Europe and Asia. The main increase in body size occurred tens of thousands of years after the small, primitive human Homo erectus migrated out of Africa. Fossils show that Homo erectus, which averaged less than five foot in height and weighed less than eight stone, was living in Georgia 1.77 million years ago.

In an ABC radio interview on Friday, Dr Gabrielle McMullin, a top vascular surgeon in Sydney, said sexism is so rife among male surgeons in Australian hospitals that young women would do best to grin and bear it. Her comments follow a warning she issued to young women at Sydney's Parliament House on Friday, during the launch of a book she co-authored on gender equality.

But giving in to unwanted sexual advances is easier than pursuing perpetrators, she warned, because the sexism is so entrenched. Dr McMullin told ABC's AM program the story of Dr Caroline Tan, a young doctor who won a sexual harassment case in 2008 against a surgeon who forced himself on her while she was training at a Melbourne Hospital. Dr Tan didn't tell anyone what had happened until the surgeon started giving her reports that were so bad they threatened the career she had worked so hard for.

The former Manchester United striker played alongside Sheringham at Old Trafford for four years but did not enjoy a relationship with his compatriot following an incident on international duty. Cole made his England debut from the bench in a 0-0 friendly draw with Uruguay in 1995 and, in replacing then-Tottenham forward Sheringham, felt the lack of acknowledgement from his future United team-mate was disrespectful. Andy Cole (right) played alongside Teddy Sheringham at Manchester United for four years - but the pair never got on following a perceived snub from Sheringham during an England international in 1995 . Sheringham - and David Beckham - congratulate Cole after scoring in a 6-0 win over Bradford City in 2000 . 'From my England debut against Uruguay, he was going to be substituted for me to come on to replace him, and he snubbed me on the line,' Cole said. 'I just thought to myself, 'I'm making my debut here and Wembley is a packed house'. And I felt so small. 'I don't think his apology would come, because I honestly do believe that he believes he was not in the wrong.' Despite a fantastic goalscoring record at club level, Cole only made 15 international appearances and scored just once - famously calling former England boss Glenn Hoddle a 'coward' for announcing he was dropping Cole through the press. 'I don't think it was damaging to my career,' Cole said of his remarks. 'I just think a lot of the media and a lot of Joe Public picked up on that and ran with it and ran with it, and exhausted it. And I remember when it came out, I mean of course it was going to be massive news. He was the England manager.' Cole and Sheringham celebrate on the pitch in 2000 but the didn't speak off it . The pair come face-to-face when Cole played for Manchester City and Sheringham at West Ham in 2005 . Despite a prolific goalscoring record at club level, Cole won just 15 caps for England . Kevin Keegan and Cole, pictured here on international duty, fell out briefly in October 1993 . Cole also had a high-profile falling out with Kevin Keegan in 1993 while at Newcastle, something the striker said was a consequence of tiredness more than anything else.

So he said, 'Well if you don't fancy it you can do one.' So I said, 'Okay, not a problem to me,' and I just walked off.

Etan, who went missing as he walked to school, was never found. He was declared dead in 2001. Horrific: This recreation shows a little boy stuffed inside a bag then a cardboard box. It is allegedly the way Etan Patz's lifeless body was discarded after he was choked to death on the way home from school . Etan (left), whose body was never found, was declared dead in 2001. Pedro Hernandez (right) is the suspect . Defense attorneys, who claim Hernandez's alleged confession is fiction, will begin presenting evidence on Monday in the trial that is expected to last for at least another month. Hernandez, from Maple Shade, New Jersey, told authorities he choked Etan in the basement of a Soho bodega and then put his body in a bag and tossed it in a box. In February, the trial was transformed by the discovery of three boxes of evidence from the investigation, including more than 1,400 pages of information. Alice Fontier, one of the attorneys representing Hernandez, said the findings could mean witnesses will be recalled. 'Given this massive disclosure at this point, in the middle of the trial, there may be issues,' she said. The boxes were found recently at a Harlem police station that covers public housing complexes in the area, prosecutors said late last week.

Fighting for justice: Here, Etan's father Stanley Patz and his sister Shira Patz are pictured outside court . The location is miles from the precinct near where Etan disappeared on May 25, 1979, as he walked to school. Etan's body has never been found, and he was declared dead in 2001. The boxes contain police records from the investigation, notes from assistant district attorneys who worked on the case and handwritten memos from a detective who investigated longtime suspect Jose Ramos, who was never charged. Some of the information involves two informants who were working with prosecutors to try to link Ramos to Etan's death. Other boxes contain missing-person posters, records of people arrested and catalogs of files made by the original detective on the case. Tragic: This is the missing poster which was made and plastered around New York after Etan's disappearance . Immediately after the discovery in mid-February, Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said that prosecutors were working to turn over the information to the defense attorneys.

The company says the chicken change will take place within the next two years. It says suppliers will still be able to use a type of antibiotic called ionophores that keep chickens healthy and aren't used in humans. The milk change will take place later this year. Many cattle, hog and poultry producers give their livestock antibiotics to make them grow faster and ensure they are healthy. The practice has become a public health issue, with officials saying it can lead to germs becoming resistant to drugs so that they're no longer effective in treating a particular illness in humans. Scroll down for video . Changes: An order of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is seen Wednesday. McDonald's says it plans to start using chicken raised without antibiotics important to human medicine and milk from cows that are not treated with the artificial growth hormone rbST . Chipotle and Panera already say they serve chicken raised without antibiotics, but the announcement by McDonald's is notable because of its size; the company has more than 14,000 U.S. locations. Chipotle has nearly 1,800 locations, while Panera has almost 1,900 locations. 'This really does move the ball quite a bit,' said Gail Hansen, a senior officer with the antibiotic resistance project with The Pew Charitable Trusts. Hansen noted that ionophores, the antibiotics that will be allowed by McDonald's, are not considered medically important for humans. The announcement comes as McDonald's Corp. struggles to transform its image amid intensifying competition from smaller rivals positioning themselves as more wholesome alternatives. The company has long battled negative perceptions about its food, but that has become a bigger vulnerability as more people shift toward options they feel are made with ingredients that are higher quality or meet standards on social responsibility. After seeing customer visits to U.S. stores decline two years in a row, McDonald's had recently hinted changes could be on the way. Franchisees were told of the chicken and milk changes Tuesday night at a 'Turnaround Summit' in Las Vegas. Scott Taylor, a McDonald's franchisee who was at the conference, said ingredients are 'becoming more and more important' to customers. And he said the company was suggesting it needs to 'be where our consumers want and need us to be.' 'You're going to see more stuff like that in the future,' Taylor said. In a statement, chicken supplier Tyson Inc. said it looks forward to working with McDonald's to meet its new standards. Tyson noted it has reduced the use of antibiotics effective on humans by more than 84 percent since 2011. Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said McDonald's decision to sell milk produced without rBST was a good step because the growth hormone can cause health problems in dairy cows.

Samantha Stuhlener gave birth to baby Levi at St Vincent's Private Hospital in the inner city Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy in January, but was handed another child to hold before nurses noticed the mix-up 45 minutes later. She and husband Chris revealed her story to Seven News on Tuesday night, but social media has since been flooded with comments accusing Mrs Stuhlener of overreacting.

Perhaps the reason the child was not settling is because the mother wasn't focussing on him, instead of focussing on what she didn't have - a measly 45 minutes.

Certain celebrities and their all-too-perfect social media snaps have come under fire, with fans accusing them of giving themselves a digital do-over.

I am guilty of putting a filter on, which changes the lighting of the image, but I have never changed my body shape or retouched out any imperfections.'

He helped to construct it, to hone it. He could claim part-copyright. On the training fields of Barcelona\u2019s Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper training centre, on the slick, wet grass of the Nou Camp and at the best European stadia, Guardiola has watched Messi make fools of many. Here on Wednesday night, however, as the current coach of Bayern Munich chose to return to his spiritual home, even he was left gasping, gaping and giggling at another night of remarkable productivity and beauty from the greatest footballer those of us on the south side of 50 have ever seen. Lionel Messi runs with the ball as the Barcelona man produces yet more genius at the Nou Camp . Messi evades the tackle as he runs towards goal during the UEFA Champions League clash on Wednesday . Messi (centre) holds off the challenge of Manchester City's David Silva (left) as Barcelona progress . Read Martin Samuel's match report from the Nou Camp as Barcelona beat Manchester City 1-0 to progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Messi\u2019s free-kicks weren\u2019t up to much on Wednesday. Three times he had the opportunity to beat Joe Hart from just outside the penalty area. Three times the ball flew over the crossbar. It was, in some ways, good to see that he isn\u2019t perfect, that he does make mistakes. After all, if we accept that we have the first flawless footballer in our midst then where do we go from there? Pretty much everything else, however, was exemplary and it was a nutmeg on James Milner by the near touchline in the first half that provoked one of the most memorable reactions of the season from Guardiola. As Milner disappeared in to a place no footballer ever wishes to go, Messi was away up the field, scampering towards the retreating figures of Vincent Kompany and Martin Demichelis with savage intent. On nights like this, Messi will terrify the best defenders and, here, City\u2019s pair resembled pedestrians stranded on the central reservation of a motorway. Lots of footballers can pull tricks, of course. Messi isn\u2019t the only one with the moves. The key to his majesty, however, is that none of it is ever for show.

Cassandra Naud, 22, says she loves her unique appearance and even credits her birthmark for making her memorable in her industry.

Cassandra refused to have her birthmark removed as she was told she would be left with severe scarring . 'My birthmark is a huge part of me,' she says. 'It makes me unique and memorable, which is especially important for the career I've chosen.' When Cassandra was born with a huge brown birthmark on her right cheek, her parents, Richard, 60, a power engineer, and France, 50, a school caretaker, were given the option to have it removed, but concerned that it would leave her face heavily scarred, they decided against it. Cassandra says she is happy with the decision that her parents made as the effects of surgery could have been extremely damaging. 'As my birthmark sunk through several layers of skin, plastic surgery was the only option for removal. Doctors gave my parents a choice, warning them there could be scarring or I could be left with a lazy eye,' she says. 'I'm so glad my parents chose to leave my birthmark as it's part of who I am.

With her envious dancer body and gorgeous smile, Cassandra is used to attracting attention from strangers, but she says people are often very curious when they notice her birthmark. 'People come up to me in the street and ask me about it. I don't shy away from questions - it's natural to be curious. 'It's covered in hair which makes it difficult to disguise, but I honestly don't mind. I know some people might feel sorry for me, but I'm confident in how I look.' Cassandra hasn't always been so confident as during her school years, she was the victim of cruel taunts from bullies. She says: 'They'd taunt me saying: \"You'll get beat up in high school\" and \"The hair on your cheek is gross\". 'Their cruel remarks were hard to deal with and I'd often fight back tears. I felt ugly - even if only for that moment - and I was terrified of how I'd be treated once I got to high school.'

The three-day 'Security & Policing Event', which is closed to the public and press, has been organised by the Home Office to showcase British anti-riot kit to dozens of foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Vladimir Putin's Russia . Sniper rifles, phone-hacking equipment and specialist 'sound guns' will be available to help foreign police control uprisings. Ministers have organised an arms fair to sell anti-riot equipment to foreign governments including rubber bullets, like those used by police against protesters in Sao Paulo, Brazil last year 2014 . The Government has publicised the event as a unique opportunity for arms manufacturers to market equipment 'which would be too sensitive to show in a more-open environment'. Since the Coalition came to power in 2010, \u00a315.9million worth of export licences for crowd-control have been approved by Vince Cable's Business Department. This includes \u00a310million of tear gas or 'anti-riot irritants', \u00a3640,000 of 'crowd-control ammunition' and \u00a33.1million of riot shields. Much of the kit is sold to democracies like France and the US. But crowd-control supplies have also been cleared for countries on the Government's own human-rights blacklist. Nine of the countries to receive export approvals - Afghanistan, Bahrain, Colombia, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Pakistan, Russia and Saudi Arabia - feature or have featured on the Foreign Office's human rights blacklist of 'Countries of Concern' over the last five years. The figures - compiled from Government data by the Campaign Against the Arms Trade - show that goods worth \u00a36.7m were cleared for shipping to the nine countries between 2010 and last September. Since the Coalition came to power it has signed off export licenses for anti-riot equipment to foreign regimes, including Libya under Muammar Gaddafi (left) and Valdimir Putin's Russia . Some \u00a32.95m of tear gas was sold to Saudi Arabia and \u00a3228,000 of 'crowd-control ammunition' to Libya while Muammar Gaddafi remained in power, the Independent reported. Andrew Smith, from CAAT, told the newspaper: 'This is a sign of a system that puts arms-company profits ahead of human rights. Weapons like tear gas have an indiscriminate effect and are synonymous with internal repression. 'The Government may have revoked the licence for tear gas to Libya, but it should never have been signed in the first place. Gaddafi was a brutal tyrant from day one, and this is a reminder that acts of oppression by his regime were carried out with British support.' The government insists licences will not be granted when there is a 'clear risk' that the exports 'might be used to facilitate internal repression'. In a statement, the Business Department said: 'We rigorously examine every licence application on a case-by-case basis against internationally recognised criteria. 'Risks around human rights abuses are a key part of our assessment and we do not grant licences where there is a clear risk that it might be used for internal repression.'", "summary": "Three-day 'Security & Policing Event' closed to the public and press .

The Prime Minister insisted he had nothing against 'the entire seagull population', despite committing \u00a3250,000 in the Budget to tackling the scourge of Britain's seaside towns. An 'urban seagull' research fund will be used to find a solution for the noise, mess, disease and aggression caused by the birds. An 'urban seagull' research fund has been set up to find a solution for the noise, mess, disease and aggression caused by the birds . Despite efforts from local councils including using artificial eggs and experimenting with stronger refuse bags, the gull population in the UK is thought to have grown to more than a quarter of a million breeding pairs. Last year, councils in the seaside resorts of Exmouth, Sidmouth and Seaton in Devon spent \u00a315,000 on specially-bred 'super falcons' to try to stop seagulls from disturbing residents and tourists. In 2013, Royal Mail said postmen would not deliver in a street in the Cornish coastal town of Perranporth after being injured by the swooping birds who dive-bomb and peck at their heads. Asked whether he had ever been attacked by seagulls, the Prime Minister told the Western Morning News he had never felt 'particularly oppressed by seagulls'. But he revealed: 'In my distant past I remember some seagulls taking the ham out of a sandwich. But I haven't held that against the entire seagull population since.' Bath MP Don Foster, who held a 'seagull summit' in Parliament in 2012, said: 'Urban gulls cause mess, noise and damage to property, and are very aggressive in the nesting season. 'There is not enough data to enable a strategic approach to the problem, and I have long been pressing for funding to be given so that progress can be made.' David Cameron, pictured at today's EU summit in Brussels, backed a Government review into Britain's seagull menace \u2013 after a bird once stole the ham from his sandwich .

A former headmaster who was found guilty of molesting boys as young as ten at a special needs school in the 1970s has been found dead just days before he was due to be sentenced. The body of David Tuohy, 83, was found floating in the River Thames close to his home in Oxford earlier this week. He was due to be sentenced at Norfolk Crown Court on Monday after earlier being found guilty of 15 counts of sexual assault following a nine-day trial. He was in charge of Eccles Hall School, in Quidenham, Norfolk, in the 1970s when he carried out the indecent and serious sexual assaults against five pupils, who all had special needs and were under 13. Norfolk police confirmed Tuohy had been found dead in the River Thames and said his death was being treated as 'unexplained but not suspicious'. A spokesman said: 'Norfolk Constabulary can confirm 83-year-old David William Tuohy who was due to be sentenced after being found guilty of a string of sexual offences against pupils at an independent school has died.' A Thames Valley Police spokesman said a body was reported in the water at around 6pm on Tuesday and the man was declared dead at the scene after being recovered by police divers. Officers had been called to the Osney Lock area of Oxford after a member of the public reported a bloodstain and a watch. Tuohy's family and victims have been informed of his death, police confirmed. Last month, Norfolk Crown Court heard how Tuohy liked to discipline boys who came to the school from different parts of the UK and found themselves alone, isolated and separated from their families. He was also said to be 'obsessed with spanking' and the prosecution said he had a 'particular deviant sexual fascination with the bottoms of very young boys.' Prosecutor Andrew Shaw added: 'It was a boarding school which catered for children who had not thrived in mainstream education in areas all over the country - in today's language we would say they had special educational or behavioural needs. 'They were separated from their families and plunged in to an unfamiliar environment. 'As one of the people charged with the duty of caring for these children, he abused the trust placed in him and used these children for his own sexual gratification.' Detective Constable Faith Morris, from Norfolk Police, said Tuohy had used a position of 'absolute trust' to abuse his victims. 'The fact Tuohy pleaded not guilty to all counts meant his victims were forced to relive the traumatic events which occurred all those years ago,' she said of his trial.

A Russian tycoon exiled in London who is fighting a freeze on his \u00a31.3billion in assets by the High Court has claimed he is now a 'poor man' who cannot afford to support his family. Sergei Pugachev, who was once branded 'Putin's banker', said the order has made it difficult for him and his partner, Alexandra Tolstoy, to support their home. Last year it was reported the couple, who have three children and own a \u00a312million house, employ two housekeepers, three nannies, two drivers and a live-in doctor. And Ms Tolstoy, 41, said it was hard to live on the \u00a310,000-a-week allowed by the court. Mr Pugachev, the former billionaire business partner of the Queen's nephew Viscount Linley is accused in Moscow of siphoning more than \u00a3655million in funds from Mezhprombank, which filed for insolvency in 2010, including $700 million in Russian Central Bank bailout money. The 52-year-old former tycoon, who denies any wrongdoing, complained the freeze has left him unable to support Tolstoy who said last year it was hard to live on the \u00a310,000 a week allowed by the court. 'I can be called a poor man. I do not have money to support my family and my property, and this is more important than paying the lawyers,' he told Vedomosti newspaper in Moscow, blaming the arrest of his bank accounts and assets. He said he has borrowed $5 million towards his $10 million legal bill, but was now unable to take more loans because his assets were frozen. As a result, he has dispensed with his lawyers. Last year, his socialite partner - a distant relative of Leo Tolstoy - said 'we are just surviving' on the \u00a310,000 a week allowance. The Deposit Insurance Agency in Moscow, which is taking the legal action, claim the 'statements of his partner Alexandra Tolstoy' about their lifestyle belie 'his declarations about financial difficulties'. A source claimed his move to dispense with his British lawyers 'looks like a tactical trick and is aimed at making obstacles for English justice'.

When going in search of the world's best cup of tea, you might think of heading to lowlands of Assam in India, or of taking a trip to the Far East and the mountains of Oolong. But the finest brew in the world is actually being grown by a Northern Irishman on a disused sheep farm in Scotland, and has just been awarded the prestigious Salon du Th\u00e9 Gold Award in Paris. The fragrant leaf is so rare and so highly prized that grower Tam O'Braan is selling it for \u00a31,150 per lb - 200 times the usual price - making it the second most expensive in the world. In addition, most of his tea is being exported to China, a feat likened to selling coals to Newcastle. The success comes as something of a surprise to Mr O'Braan, who founded his Wee Tea Company in 2011 with \u00a3140,000 and just three plants. Mr O'Braan told The Times that he spent years on organic farms around the world, studying how best to grow crops in Scotland's cold climate, and convinced himself he could do it. While he initially met with success, creating 2,000 cuttings from his original plants, disaster struck in 2012 when the coldest winter in 200 years all but killed his crop. He said that after the setback he and his wife were too embarrassed to tell anyone what they were doing, so kept their operation a secret. But on Valentine's Day last year the plants sprouted again, at which point Mr O'Braan revealed his scheme, along with his first batches of White and White Smoked Tea. He sold his first tea at Christmas by mail order, with most of it going abroad, and Fortnum and Mason have now started stocking the leaves at \u00a330 for a 35g sachet, or roughly \u00a310 per cup. Tam O'Braan, who is from Northern Ireland, developed his tea plantation on an old sheep farm in Perthshire (pictured) using \u00a3140,000 and just three plants from which he managed to grow 2,000 cuttings . And today the White Smoked variety was handed the top gong at Paris's prestigious tea awards, making it officially the best cuppa on the planet.

Hironimus and the boy's father, Dennis Nebus, were never married but share custody of their child. 'I was hoping the mother was going to be here,' Nebus' attorney May L. Cain said on Tuesday. 'I was, too,' Gillen replied. The Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that the the judge last week called it 'reprehensible' for the mom to have kept the boy's location hidden from the father since February 20. 'I will allow her to avoid incarceration or get out of jail if she signs the consent to the procedure,' Gillen said Friday. In a parenting agreement filed in court, the two agreed to the boy's circumcision, but the mother later changed her mind, leading to a long court battle. The father said he decided to pursue the circumcision in December 2013 when the boy was 3, after noticing his son was urinating on his leg, reports The Sun Sentinel. The father on Friday said the boy's pediatrician had diagnosed a condition called phimosis, which prevents retraction of the foreskin and that can be cured with circumcision.

Data from 40,000 patients found that those taking the drugs from this age were less likely to die prematurely from any cause and the threat of a heart attack was halved. There was, however, a slightly raised risk of blood clots. An estimated one million women in Britain take hormone replacement therapy to control symptoms of the menopause and experts believe taking it in your 50s could help cut the risk of early death and heart attacks . HRT is given to control symptoms of the menopause and is usually taken by women in their early 50s. This large-scale review sought to investigate if it has positive or negative effects on other areas of women\u2019s health. When evidence from those across a wider age range was examined, it showed oral HRT did not protect against heart disease and may increase stroke risk. But the beneficial effects became apparent in a group of 9,000 women who started HRT at or not long after the menopause and before 60. They took it for three to ten years. Lead researcher Dr Henry Boardman, from Oxford University, said: \u2018The evidence we have provides some support for the so-called \u201ctiming hypothesis\u201d but we should bear in mind the size of this effect. \u2018When we looked at the results according to the age of women, or by how long since their menopause that they started treatment, we found that if 1,000 women under 60 started therapy we would expect six fewer deaths, eight fewer cases of heart disease and five extra blood clots over about seven years, compared to a 1,000 similar women who did not start.\u2019 An estimated one million women in the UK take HRT for symptoms like hot flushes and mood changes although it also protects bones.

A Polish man stole secret documents about British nuclear submarines from a neighbour and tried to sell them to his government for \u00a350,000, a court heard today. Marcin Kostrzewa, 31, of Plymouth, Devon, allegedly broke into Shane Spencer\u2019s next-door flat and took the restricted files which were stored in his airing cupboard. They only met when Kostrzewa knocked on Mr Spencer\u2019s door to complain about noise - but he became \u2018infatuated\u2019 with him after finding out he worked with submarines, the court was told. Kostrzewa allegedly took the documents after searching online for terms such as \u2018spy games\u2019, \u2018spies\u2019 and \u2018secret documents\u2019 - then contacted the Polish embassy and tried to sell the papers.

Mr Chalk told Plymouth Crown Court the Polish man took \u2018sensitive or secret material\u2019 and was caught by a joint operation between British security services and the Metropolitan Police. Kostrzewa thought he was in contact with a man called 'Alex' from the Polish government - but in fact he was a UK security services agent.

Mr Spencer first met Kostrzewa in late 2011 when the Pole had knocked on his door to complain about noise, the court was told. Mr Spencer\u2019s girlfriend Sophie Berriman concluded that Kostrzewa was lonely and kept turning up at weekends and in the evenings with alcohol.

The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission will use four identical spacecraft to measure a mysterious process known as magnetic reconnection. By orbiting Earth, the spacecraft will seek to understand how energy from the sun is funnelled in to the environment of not only our own but other planets, causing space weather such as aurorae. Scroll down for video . The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with Nasa's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft onboard is seen here launching from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 41 in Florida this morning at 2:44am GMT (last night at 10:44pm EDT) The groundbreaking and complex mission represents the first time this astronomical phenomena will be studied in extremely fine detail. The spacecraft were launched on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 421 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. After reaching orbit, each spacecraft deployed from the upper stage of the rocket in five-minute increments. 'I am speaking for the entire MMS team when I say we're thrilled to see all four of our spacecraft have deployed and data indicates we have a healthy fleet,' said Craig Tooley, project manager at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Magnetic reconnection occurs wherever charged gases, called plasma, are present. It's rare on Earth, but plasma makes up 99 per cent of the visible universe, fueling stars and filling the near-vacuum of space. This plasma contains magnetic fields that affects the way charged particles it encounters move. Under normal conditions, the magnetic field lines inside plasmas don't break or merge with other field lines. But sometimes, as field lines get close to each other, the entire pattern changes and everything realign into a new configuration. The amount of energy released can be formidable. Magnetic reconnection taps into the stored energy of the magnetic field, converting it into heat and kinetic energy that sends particles streaming out along the field lines. The MMS mission will help scientsits understand how this process is taking place in the environment around Earth. This could teach us more about geomagnetic storms and aurorae on our planet, and also help us understand similar processes taking place in the rest of the solar system and beyond. Over the following weeks, Nasa scientists and engineers will deploy several complex booms and antennae on the spacecraft, and test all their instruments. The core of each spacecraft is about four feet (1.2 metres) tall and 11 feet (3.4 metres) wide, although with all of their booms and antennae deployed, they grow to 369 by 94ft (29 by 112 metres). The four will then be placed in a pyramid formation, separated by distances of 6.2 to 62 miles (10 to 100km), in preparation for science observations that are scheduled to begin in early September. They will fly around Earth in an elliptical orbit, travelling through two regions where magnetic reconnection is thought to be occurring.

A member of the WI demonstrates how to bottle fruit to an eager group of students . While many think of the WI as a place where older ladies go to make jam, sing Jerusalem and learn skills like flower arranging and sewing, it has actually been behind some of the biggest social changes in British history. The first WI meeting in the UK was held in Anglesey, north Wales, on September 16, 1915 as a way to encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. But it went on to spearhead campaigns to improve living conditions and the environment, tackle unemployment, get free family planning, more nursery education for children and even world peace. The movement grew rapidly and now has 212,000 members in about 6,600 groups. They have raised many millions of pounds for charity over the last century. It gave bored middle-class women an outlet for their organisational skills and the opportunity to practice public speaking while providing working-class countrywomen with the chance to see more of the wider world around them.

+{"article": "A crystal with a \u2018forbidden symmetry\u2019 that was once thought to be impossible to form naturally has been found. The so-called quasicrystal was discovered in a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite in a remote region of northeastern Russia. And studying it could help scientists find out how mysterious materials like this formed in the universe. Scientists at Princeton University, New Jersey studied an ancient meteorite (shown) and found a quasicrystal with a structure that it was once dubbed 'impossible'. It was thought such material could not naturally occur in nature because the crystal has a symmetry in which atoms shouldn't form . The discovery was made by a team from Princeton University, and is the second natural quasicrystal ever found - both in this meteorite. Prior to the team finding the first natural quasicrystal in 2009, researchers thought that the structures were too fragile and energetically unstable to be formed by natural processes. \u2018The finding of a second naturally occurring quasicrystal confirms that these materials can form in nature and are stable over cosmic time scales,\u2019 said Dr Paul Steinhardt from Princeton University. On the outside, quasicrystals are solid minerals that look like quite normal, but it is their inner structure that fascinates scientists. Instead of the regularly repeating clusters of atoms seen in most crystals, quasicrystals contain a more subtle and intricate atomic arrangement involving two or more repeating clusters. As a result, a quasicrystal\u2019s atoms can be arranged in ways that are not commonly found in crystals, such as the shape of a 20-sided icosahedron with the symmetry of a soccer ball. The difference between crystals and quasicrystals can be visualized by imagining a tiled floor: Tiles that are six-sided hexagons can fit neatly against each other to cover the entire floor. But five-sided pentagons or 10-sided decagons laid next to each will result in gaps between tiles. The team published the findings in the journal Scientific Reports. Dr Steinhardt said the discovery raises the possibility that other types of quasicrystals can be formed in nature. Quasicrystals are very hard, have low friction, and don't conduct heat very well - making them good candidates for applications such as protective coatings on items ranging from airplanes to non-stick cookware. The newly discovered quasicrystal, which is yet to be named, has a structure that resembles flat 10-sided disks stacked in a column. This type of structure is impossible in ordinary crystals, in which atoms are packed closely together in a repeated and orderly fashion, earning it the \u2018forbidden symmetry\u2019 moniker. \u2018The structure is saying '\u201dI am not a crystal, but on the other hand, I am not random either,\u201d\u2019 Dr Steinhardt said. Crystals with these \u2018forbidden symmetries\u2019 had been created in the laboratory, but it wasn't until 2009 that Dr Steinhardt and his team reported the first natural quasicrystal, now known as icosahedrite, in a rock that had been collected years before in Chukotka, Russia.

Scroll down for video . Mr Shapps used pictures of himself in his private plane with his son in a bid to prove that he knew how to make millions . Mr Shapps said his wealth was 'hard-core' evidence of that he could help people get rich. The revelations come just days after Mr Shapps, 46, faced calls to quit after being forced to admit he had continued to offer get-rich-quick advice after becoming a Conservative MP despite vehement denials to the contrary. The Tory minister had insisted he had not had a second job since being elected MP for Welwyn Hatfield in May 2005, but was later forced to admit he had 'screwed up' by denying the allegations 'over firmly'. It comes after a recording emerged from 2006, a year after he was elected to Parliament, capturing the MP selling self-help guide Stinking Rich 3 and claiming his products could make listeners a 'ton of cash'. The full extent of his toe-curling sales pitch was published in the Sunday Mirror today after pictures were published on the website Political Scrapbook. In it he offers punters the chance to buy his toolkit on 'How To Become Stinking RICH Online' for $197 \u2013 even though he claimed it was worth $100,000. The toolkit, he claimed, would make those who bought it '11 to 22 times more successful than the crowd as a result'. Mr Shapps boasted about how he made a fortune in just 30 months from his HowToCorp firm and other projects. Pictured in his sports car he wrote: 'That's me... and I'm sitting in my brandspanking-new Crossfire Convertible 3.2L' But he warned punters they would have to move fast because he had taken the 'difficult decision' to limit supply to just 250 copies, saying: 'I will delete the webpage and the mastercopy of this toolkit'.

The rise is being driven by lawyers trying to drum up business through cold calls and nuisance text messages. New figures from the insurance firm Aviva suggest the number of personal injury claims linked to road accidents will have risen by nine per cent in the the year to April 2015. Around 80 per cent of these will include a claim for whiplash, which is a far higher proportion than other comparable nations in Europe. This will add up to 840,000 pay-outs worth \u00a32.5billion.

It believes a high proportion of the claims are bogus and blames ambulance chasing claims management companies and law firms. The insurance firm\u2019s data shows that 96 per cent of personal injury claims it received last year were brought by third parties. The Government has put in place measures to try and tackle the menace, including introducing a cap on the legal fees surrounding claims as part of the LASPO Act. A new regime that vets and accredits medical experts who assess whiplash injury claims has also been set up by the government under an organisation called MedCo. However, Aviva say these do not go far enough and it wants an end to cash windfall payments to people claiming a whiplash injury. Instead, it says insurers should \u2013 in the first instance \u2013 be required to offer sufferers medical treatment. Whiplash involves the sudden hyperextension (right) followed by immediate hyperflexion (left) of the neck, resulting in damage to the muscles, ligaments and tendons . The firm\u2019s chief executive, Maurice Tulloch, said there has been a failure to address the excessive numbers of minor motor injury claims and the escalating costs surrounding them. \u2018The UK\u2019s compensation culture is at the root cause of the \u00a393 cost of whiplash claims paid by motorists within their insurance premiums,\u2019 he said. \u2018Customers have told us they are fed up with compensation culture and all its trimmings: the nuisance texts and calls from claims management companies, excessive lawyers\u2019 fees and fraudsters abusing the system for their own financial gain.\u2019 Mr Tulloch said: \u2018We are here to help our customers when they need it, and pay genuine claims quickly.

Women whose father or brother has prostate cancer are more likely to develop breast cancer, research shows. Scientists believe the illnesses are caused by the same faulty gene passed down through families. An American study of 78,000 women found that those whose fathers, brothers or sons had prostate cancer were 14 per cent more at risk of breast cancer. But women were 80 per cent more likely to get the illness if their father, brother or son had prostate cancer and their mother or sister had breast cancer. The findings \u2013 published in the journal Cancer \u2013 are further evidence that some types of breast and prostate cancer are caused by the same inherited, faulty gene. Although doctors have been aware the illnesses run in families for several years, this research shows the faulty gene may be more important than they previously thought. Its lead author says doctors should routinely ask women whether prostate cancer runs in her family when establishing her risk of breast cancer. Women considered high-risk are offered more frequent x-rays, genetic tests and in some cases, preventative drugs such as Tamoxifen. Breast and prostate cancers are the most common forms of the illness in women and men respectively. There are 50,500 new cases of breast cancer in the UK each year and just under 42,000 of prostate cancer. Dr Jennifer Beebe-Dimmer, of the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute and Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, studied the records of 78,171 women over a 16-year-period. Those with a first degree male relative \u2013 brother, father or son \u2013 were 14 per cent more likely to have developed the illness. But women with a first degree male relative with prostate cancer and mother or sister with breast cancer were 78 per cent more at risk. Those with a first degree male relative \u2013 brother, father or son \u2013 were 14 per cent more likely to have developed the illness . Dr Beebe-Dimmer said: 'The increase in breast cancer risk associated with having a positive family history of prostate cancer is modest; however, women with a family history of both breast and prostate cancer among first-degree relatives have an almost two-fold increase in risk of breast cancer. 'These findings are important in that they can be used to support an approach by clinicians to collect a complete family history of all cancers - particularly among first degree relatives - in order to assess patient risk for developing cancer . 'Families with clustering of different tumors may be particularly important to study in order to discover new genetic mutations to explain this clustering.'

The men were having dinner on Friday night in the western city of Wakayama when they ate puffer fish liver, which prompted vomiting and breathing difficulties early the next morning. Puffer fish - also called blowfish or fugu in Japanese - are the world's most toxic group of fish and their livers, ovaries and skin contain tetrodotoxin, 100 times more lethal than cyanide. Dicing with death: Five Japanese men were poisoned after eating banned parts of the puffer fish (file photo) Yet eating the fish's flesh is a tradition in Japan, where wealthy diners play the Russian roulette of the restaurant world by dining on sashimi slivers so thin they are almost transparent. According to a city health official, the men asked to eat a banned, toxic part of the fish - which the most foolhardy fugu aficionados are said to enjoy for the tingling it produces on the lips. Popular: The tradition of eating thin slices of 'fugu' persists despite dozens of poisonings a year . The tingling is only the first symptom of tetrodotoxin poisoning, and is seen as part of the thrill for lovers of the fish. But if the toxin is served in any significant quantity it then paralyses the muscles, suffocating victims as it reaches their chests and diaphragms while they are still conscious. The health official said the men were in their 40s and 50s and the restaurant was shut down for five days from yesterday amid an investigation. 'They consumed a dinner that included liver, which is regarded as toxic material,' she told AFP, reading from a statement. Calls to the restaurant went unanswered. Chefs who want to serve puffer fish must train for two years before taking a rigorous test which a third of applicants fail. The most prized species is the tiger puffer, takifugu rubripes, whose flesh is safe to eat but whose liver, ovaries and intestine can all kill. It is not clear which species of puffer fish the men ate. Puffer fish account for the majority of Japan's food poisoning deaths but the delicacy shows no sign of dying out, although it is heavily regulated. Government figures show 30 to 50 people are hospitalised every year, with a few of those cases leading to death.", "summary": "Men in their 40s and 50s ate at restaurant in Wakayama, Japan, on Friday .

Officers arrived at the apartment a short time later, but Vail wouldn't let them in, saying she didn't believe they were police officers, Fernandez said. 'She was babbling incoherently, none of it made any sense,' Fernandez said. The St. Petersburg Police Department said in a news release 'The caller, Michelle Vail, said that a former boyfriend was standing outside her door and she was fearful that he was going to kill her. 'Vail also said that she [was] armed and officers arriving on the scene determined that she was in possession of a shotgun.'

As officers walked away, they heard the sound of glass breaking. They returned and could see that Vail had a shotgun and was banging it against a door and a wall. Fernandez said officers heard the boy scream. At that point they knocked down the door, but by the time they reached a back room, the child and mother had already jumped. Oscar was taken to a hospital, where officials say he is in stable condition and being kept for observation. His mother's injuries were superficial, according to Fernandez. The news release said that 'The child was interviewed by detectives at the hospital and stated his mother had told him that a serial killer was coming to get them and he needed to jump out the window, which he did.' The family recently moved from Ormond Beach, Florida, to the area, police said. Police told WTSP that three weapons - a handgun, large knife and a shotgun - were discovered in the apartment.

It is illegal to fight with a listed terrorist organisation, to fight against government forces in a foreign country and to travel to parts of Iraq and Syria without a lawful reason. Furthermore, the government would need to keep their support for the individual clandestine, since a government allegiance would thwart the individual's credibility in the eyes of the would-be jihadis.

Steeping is the act of letting the flavour of the tea infuse into the water, and scientists claim it should be left for a minimum of two minutes. But a study has found that 80 per cent of tea drinkers can't wait that long - and 40 per cent of us drink it immediately meaning we don't get the best flavour from our cuppa. Researchers asked 1,000 people about their tea-drinking habits and found that only 16% of people let the water brew, or steep, for the recommended time of between two and five minutes. Nearly half (47 per cent) leave their tea to cool for five minutes after they have removed the tea bag before drinking it . The study was commissioned ahead of British Science Week - a 10-day programme of science, technology, engineering and maths events across the UK that started on 13 March. Researchers asked 1,000 people about their tea-drinking habits and discovered that English Breakfast made without sugar and drunk from a ceramic mug is the most popular method. Only 16 per cent of people let the water brew for the recommended time of between two and five minutes. But this time varies depending on the type of tea. And nearly half (47 per cent) leave their tea to cool for five minutes after they have removed the tea bag before drinking it. Herbal teas (stock image) should be steeped in water with a temperature of 95\u00b0C (203\u00b0F) Steeping tea is the process of soaking a solid - in this case tea leaves - to extract flavours and soften it. For standard black tea, freshly boiled water should be used - with temperatures above 95\u00b0C (203\u00b0F). Water should be left to cool down for at least 30 seconds when making green and white tea, with a recommended temperature of 74\u00b0C to 85\u00b0C (160\u00b0F to 203\u00b0F). Oolong tea is best steeped in 85\u00b0C (185\u00b0F) water. Herbal teas should be steeped in water with a temperature of 95\u00b0C (203\u00b0F). Regardless of the temperature, the standard explained that tea should be steeped for six minutes. Elsewhere, the age-old debate of water or milk first was found to vary depending on how the tea is being drunk. If the tea is being made in a cup or mug the milk should be added last, and more than two thirds (69 per cent) of tea drinkers use this technique. But when made using a tea pot, the milk should be added to the mug before the tea-infused hot water is poured into it.

The former Real Madrid midfielder has suffered a severe slump in form after a bright start to life at Old Trafford and was even hooked at half-time by the United boss against Sunderland last week. Sportsmail's man in Madrid Pete Jenson, who kept a close eye on Di Maria during his four-year spell in the Spanish capital, assures United fans the \u00a360million man will come good. Angel di Maria was substituted against Sunderland after a poor performance in the opening 45 minutes . Louis van Gaal claimed it may take record signing Di Maria a full year to adapt to English football . When it comes to putting his medals on the table Angel di Maria has the silverware to silence the critics. He also has the references to convince Manchester United supporters that his current dip in form will soon pass. Jose Mourinho signed him; Carlo Anclelotti stuck by him; Sir Alex Ferguson handed him his man of the match award after the 2014 Champions League final; and Real Madrid team-mates all knew he would be missed when he left the club last summer. Xabi Alonso tweeted when he was sold: \u2018Thanks for everything. I wish you all the best, even if you are going to United. We will never forget the zig-zag in extra-time in Lisbon.\u2019 That message refers to the run and shot that led to Gareth Bale putting Real Madrid ahead against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final. It was the perfect end to his best season at a club where he was also instrumental in winning a Spanish Cup under Ancelotti and the league and another Spanish Cup under Mourinho. Di Maria has had a difficult season after making a fast start to life at Old Trafford following his move . The midfielder had a particularly bad afternoon against Sunderland last week before being hooked . It should be remembered that his glorious last campaign also came with a mid-season glitch. He famously grabbed his crotch in a disrespectful snub to Ancelotti and the booing Bernabeu after being substituted during a game at the start of the year. There was pressure on the coach to put Gareth Bale on the right wing ahead of the Argentine and feeling he was being edged out of the side unfairly in spite of a good start to the season he reacted. Ancelotti did not ostracise him as many demanded, instead he reinvented him. Moving him from the right of Real\u2019s front three to the left of their midfield three, there he became La Liga\u2019s top assist provider.

+{"article": "Hedge fund trader Julian Rifat leaked insider tips about companies including Barclays and Volkswagen in exchange for a luxury car and holiday . A hedge fund trader who leaked insider tips about companies including Barclays and Volkswagen in exchange for a luxury car and a family holiday to Oman has been jailed. Julian Rifat, 45, abused his senior position at Moore Capital to leak tips about eight major firms. He used the inside information to place trades worth \u00a3285,000 through an associate to top up his basic salary of \u00a3125,000 and \u00a3615,000 bonus. Rifat, who lived in a \u00a31.2million home in Oxford, was today jailed for 19 months during a hearing at Southwark Crown Court. His prosecution was the ninth under Operation Tabernula - an investigation launched in the wake of the financial crisis by regulators the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Rifat, once dubbed the 'face' of the American hedge fund, faced a single charge of insider dealing between 1 June and 24 November 2009. Prosecutor Mark Ellison QC, for the FCA, said: 'The total value of all eight trades being \u00a3285,000, they were all in the form of spread bets. '[Rifat] was employed at the time of offending as a senior trader by Moore Capital. He was FCA approved at the time of the offences and had been for a number of years. 'He was in essence, on the evidence, the person at Moore Capital in London that senior bankers would approach to discuss transactions. 'He was effectively, to a considerable degree, the face of Moore Capital in that respect for the purpose of European investment decisions. 'In fact in Mr Rifat's own words he says he was somebody who had direct access to the top four people in the firm. He was somebody who clearly was in a very responsible and trusted position.' Rifat would be approached by investors about major deals before the information was communicated to the market in a practice known as 'wall crossing'. Jailed: Rifat, from Oxford, leaked insider tips on major deals involving Barclays (pictured) and Volkswagen . However, he would then use this information to tip-off associate Graeme Shelley, a broker at Novum Securities Ltd, who placed trades on his behalf. In return, Shelley, 45, paid around \u00a360,000, including a \u00a315,000 family trip to Oman and a brand new Range Rover. Mr Ellison said: 'Once the inside was wall crossed within the company the entire firm was restricted from trading in the stock sharing until a public announcement was made or the offer withdrawn. 'After he had been wall crossed, Mr Rifat would make the time to give Mr Shelley either a ring or a text so as to provide the inside information.' Rifat, who worked in the company's London offices, was first arrested on his 41st birthday in 2010. Despite being put on administrative leave by his employers, he was still paid his huge salary as well as two \u00a3700,000 payments as part of a 'compromise agreement'.

An audit of the agency requested by Congress noted the headway made since the September 11 attacks, which brought criticism that law enforcement agencies were not sharing information. The report said in many ways the agency still came up short, as worries continue that groups such as ISIS are exerting their influence on Americans and could strike on US soil. Criticized: A report requested by Congress noted the FBI's improvement since the September 11 terrorist attacks but knocked the agency failing to properly gather and analyze human intelligence. Pictured: FBI Director James Comey testifies . 'These threats are not just knocking on the door. They're in the room,' said former Representative Timothy Roemer. Roemer was a member of the original commission that prepared a report in the aftermath of the 2001 attacks, faulting the FBI and CIA for intelligence shortcomings. The newly commissioned report was tasked with reviewing how the FBI had responded to recommendations laid out in the original investigation and how it has handled counterterrorism over the last decade. It's release coincides with FBI Director James Comey's visit to Washington, where he has asked for $8.48billion to boost funding for new initiatives, including cyber activities. The report called for the agency to further integrate intelligence gathering and analysis, and tasked it with 'professionalizing' its intelligence analysts, strategically using analysts in specialized roles. The report emphasized the agency's development of human intelligence is not improving along with efforts to share intelligence among agencies. Scrutiny: The report coincided with Comey's trip to Washington to defend an $8.48billion request for extra funding in front of a House Appropriations subcommittee . 'This imbalance needs urgently to be addressed to meet growing and increasingly complex national security threats, including from adaptive and increasingly tech-savvy terrorists, more brazen computer hackers, and more technically capable, global cyber syndicates,' the report stated. The report also faulted leadership changes for slowing improvement. It recommended the FBI coordinate with private sector entities as a way to counter cyber threats. The report covered five terror plots that had occurred over the last several years, which includes the 2009 Fort Hood shooting and the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Though it found communication and coordination hiccups between branches of the FBI, the report said there was no certainty the attacks could have been averted if these metrics were improved. It cited some cases where information that could have been leveraged to forecast attacks was not gathered or analyzed by the FBI. A 2012 rant at a mosque from Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnev wasn't caught by the FBI at the time, and Afghan-American cab driver Najibullah Zazi was not identified until his plan to blow up the New York City subway was thwarted, according to the report.

Clegg\u2019s panicking allies have launched a \u2018stop Farron\u2019 campaign in a last-ditch attempt to stop him taking over after the Election. But speaking ahead of the party\u2019s spring conference in Liverpool this weekend, Farron made it clear he is determined to replace Clegg. He brushed aside claims by the Clegg camp that he is a \u2018sanctimonious, God-bothering, treacherous little s***\u2019, compared Clegg\u2019s leadership to the Lib Dems\u2019 \u2018near death\u2019 in the 1980s and said voters would never forgive him for his tuition fees somersault. For a committed Christian, it is surprising how much hatred Farron generates among fellow top Lib Dems. There is no love lost between Farron and his main leadership rival, Minister and Clegg ally Norman Lamb. Clegg, Lamb and co swallowed their Lib Dem pride and principles, at least on occasion, for ministerial jobs and limos in the Coalition.Meanwhile, Farron, refused a Government post by Clegg, could grandstand from the sidelines, voting against the bedroom tax and tuition fees. Farron\u2019s supporters in the Lib Dem sandal-wearing brigade say he is \u2018untainted\u2019 and see \u2018Saint Tim\u2019 as a saviour. He became a Christian at 18, when marooned in a house in rainy Singapore on a trip with his mum. \u2018There was nothing to blinkin\u2019 read and I read this weird-looking book on God. It was life-changing,\u2019 he explains. Farron\u2019s conversation is peppered with \u2018blinkins\u2019 and \u2018bloomins\u2019, adding to a boyish, Tintin cartoon air of wide-eyed enthusiasm. The book he stumbled on said the Bible was true. And from that moment, Tim believed every word. Literally. He thinks God knows everything. \u2018Every hair on your head is numbered,\u2019 he says, without blinking. God knows every hair on his head? \u2018Yeah.\u2019 Farron believes that Nick Clegg, pictured, blew the trust of the voters by his u-turn on tuition fees . Mr Farron, pictured, said neither of the two main parties should assume the Lib Dems will prop them up . He scoffs at the idea of a \u2018half-baked distant God \u2013 either he created every bloomin\u2019 atom in the entire universe or he didn\u2019t\u2019.

'Phone calls to my father and family were getting blocked so I changed my mobile. It happened again so I kept on changing mobiles, five or six times a month.'

He said that, in early 2006, his suspicions caused him to spend \u00a380,000 on counter-surveillance equipment.

Laura Abraham told the New York Post that when she tried to break up with the multimillionaire lawyer, he suggested that she should round up several male friends and have an orgy. She claims the attorney said he wanted to watch her have sex with multiple men at once. 'He wanted me to be a live porno star in front of him. ...I told him that\u2019s not something I ever fantasized about,' she told the newspaper. Sanford Rubenstein, a prominent civil rights attorney who works with Rev. Al Sharpton, was accused of rape in October, but later cleared . She also claims that Rubenstein tried to give her money to buy drugs for her to take - but she refused. Abraham says her romance with Rubenstein was unfolding as he was defending himself against accusations he had raped an unconscious Macy's executive after taking her home from his pal Rev. Al Sharpton's birthday party in October. Rubenstein, who won tens of millions of dollars pursuing police brutality lawsuits with the help of Sharpton, was cleared in January after investigators concluded there was not enough evidence to charge him. Rubenstein vehemently denied the rape allegations and said the sex was consensual. Abraham says she met Rubenstein in November and finally ended things last week. She says they occasionally shared a bed - but that she never had sex with him. Through his attorney Ben Brafman, Rubenstein confirmed to the Post that he had a 'brief personal relationship' with Abraham.

Rubenstein and Abraham were pictured together at a hotel in South Beach in Miami at the end of February.

Allan Simonsen, who became the first Dane to represent the Catalan club when he joined in 1979, said the academy would offer young Danish prospects a new kind of footballing education. 'FC Barcelona comes with a new offer to the young people, who will come to learn an entirely different philosophy,' Simonsen told a news conference as plans for the FCBEscola academy, which will be based some 16km north-west of Copenhagen in Ballerup, were unveiled.

Allan Simonsen believes the new academy will give Danish players the chance to enjoy a new philosophy .

But reaction to the news was not all positive and the Danish FA (DBU) poured cold water on the idea. 'The DBU has still not received an official request from FC Barcelona about their desire for the establishment of an academy in Denmark, including specific information on what such a setup would contain,' the DBU said in a statement. 'It is a precondition for the establishment of such an academy in Denmark that it obtains the approval of the DBU.' The DBU's head of grassroots soccer Steen Joergensen expressed concern over the well-being of children and that Danish junior football could become a hotbed of competition between elite academies as youngsters chase the dream of turning professional.

'For us it is important that FC Barcelona, like all others, manage to take care of both the child and the talent, so that there won't be tough competition with focus on the potential economic gain at too early an age,' he said in a statement. 'It is initially about childrens' well-being, happiness and security, which in our opinion are fundamental prerequisites for the development of children.'

Morgan is the most inventive England batsman of his generation, and that includes Kevin Pietersen. He is resolutely his own man \u2013 a Dubliner who crossed the Irish Sea, an advocate of the IPL in a country which often disdains it, and a thoughtful presence around the traps, alert with a hint of aloof. But the system can drag down the best. And so, reflecting on the horrific nine-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in Wellington after England had scored 309 for 6, Morgan sought comfort in stats. England captain Eoin Morgan found solace in statistics following the heavy defeat by Sri Lanka . First this: \u2018We were 25 above par, and the stats backed that up. Par here is about 275-280.\u2019 Then this: \u2018We bowled a lot of bad balls. Over the next couple of days we\u2019ll get the Hawk-Eye stuff, and the proof will be in that.\u2019 Stats have always been a hallmark of Peter Moores\u2019s England. Famously, he introduced Andy Flower to Moneyball, Michael Lewis\u2019s classic account of sabermetrics (the statistical analysis of baseball); infamously, he allowed stats to encourage the selection of Darren Pattinson against South Africa in 2008. Stats work \u2013 and they don\u2019t. At their best, they confirm hunches. At their worst, they become a usefully faceless scapegoat: don\u2019t blame us, we were only following the stats! We exaggerate, but not by much. What, after all, is the relevance of stats when the change in fielding restrictions has made 300 the norm? And why defer to Hawk-Eye when Naked-Eye told you England bowled like drains? Jos Buttler needs to be cut loose at the top of the batting order when the situation merits his promotion . Gary Ballance (left) is suffering from poor form and England's insistence on using him as a No 3 . The system isn\u2019t working. If it were working \u2013 or even close to working \u2013 England would not have lost to Australia by 111 runs, to New Zealand with more than 37 overs to spare, and to Sri Lanka by nine wickets while defending over 300. The Associate nations are making a better fist of things. So if not the system, then what? Poor Morgan, by nature a free spirit, has inherited a job weighed down by English caution. Roundheads are better at Tests; cavaliers prefer one-dayers. And England are playing a form of 50-over cricket more suited to Oliver Cromwell and 1645. Conservatism continues to bedevil them.

They want \u00a336million for the 26-year old and are reluctant to accept less. Van Gaal is unlikely to be deterred, though, and will urge club bosses to open talks in an attempt to agree a valuation for a defender who has the experience and know-how United need at the back. The pursuit of Dortmund skipped Hummels dates back to the 2011-12 season, when Sir Alex Ferguson attended the German Cup final to watch Jurgen Klopp's side crush Bayern Munich 5-2. It completed an historic league and cup double for Dortmund and led to Ferguson launching a bold bid to lure Hummels, Robert Lewandowski and Shinji Kagawa away from the Westfalenstadion. Louis van Gaal needs defensive reinforcements at Old Trafford but may be forced to stump up \u00a336m . Jurgen Klopp's side have struggled this season, spending part of the campaign in the relegation spots . Repeated approaches for Hummels always met with stubborn resistance from Dortmund, but they have been forced to back down after their cultured defender indicated he was unhappy with their fall from grace this season. A sharp decline in fortunes briefly left them embroiled in a relegation battle, and though an overdue revival steadied the ship, there still seems little prospect of Champions' League football next season.. Hummels feels he has remained loyal long enough and is hoping United's negotiators can come up with a package that will smooth the way for his long-awaited arrival at Old Trafford.

+{"article": "Labour failed to appreciate the UK jobs market would prove a magnet for Polish plumbers, one of Tony Blair\u2019s most senior advisers admitted yesterday. The admission was one of a series of revelations about how the last Government chronically mishandled Eastern European immigration. One ex-Cabinet minister said he had warned the influx was having a huge impact on hospitals and wages - but was largely ignored by his colleagues. Scroll down for video . Sir Stephen Wall, who was Mr Blair\u2019s most senior EU adviser between 2000 and 2004, said Labour failed to foresee the attraction Britain would pose to Polish workers on low wages in their home country . In advance of Poland and seven other Eastern Bloc nations joining the EU in 2004, ministers relied upon advice suggesting only 13,000 would settle each year. In the end, more than one million travelled \u2013 with at least half that number settling in what is one of the biggest waves of immigration in British history. They were attracted by wages which are significantly higher than back home. Sir Stephen Wall, who was Mr Blair\u2019s most senior EU adviser between 2000 and 2004, said: \u2018We simply didn\u2019t take account properly of the pull factor of England for people with skills who could probably find a bigger market [in the UK] for their skills - you know, the Polish plumber.\u2019 In comments which will pose a huge headache for Ed Miliband, Sir Stephen also admitted the decision to throw open Britain\u2019s borders at a time when other countries were imposing transitional controls was \u2018political\u2019. The remarks risk re-igniting the debate about Labour\u2019s record \u2013 for which the Labour leader recently apologised. Lord Green of Deddington said the figure of 13,000 Polish workers settling in the UK originally given by Labour was 'completely worthless' (file image) Sir Stephen said: \u2018The primary argument was the political one \u2013 this was the right thing to do, we attached a lot of importance to them as democratic countries and keeping our position as the number one friend of eastern and central Europeans.\u2019 Last night, Lord Green of Deddington, chairman of the Migration Watch campaign group, told the Mail: \u2018It is astonishing that nobody properly considered the impact of the wage differential between Britain and a huge country like Poland. \u2018We said at the time the forecast of 13,000-a-year was almost worthless. In fact, it was completely worthless.\u2019 Yesterday, it also emerged that ex-Labour Cabinet minister John Denham had written to Chancellor Gordon Brown and Home Secretary Charles Clarke to warn the new arrivals were having a huge impact. He said the Government failed to recognise what was happening in constituencies like his own in Southampton, where wages were driven down by as much as 50 per cent, A&E departments came under strain and 1,000 migrants attempted to sign up for an English-as-a-second language course in a single day. Mr Denham added: \u2018The whole irony of this is that in some respects Tony Blair was obsessed by immigration, particularly about illegal immigration and abuse of the asylum system, but", "summary": "Sir Stephen Wall said Labour failed to realise attraction Britain would pose .

Scroll down for video . In this June 2013 photo, Dennis, a dachshund, rests on the ground in Columbus, Ohio.

But then Burton rescued him from his previous owner and provided him with a proper diet, exercise and affection . pictured on February 25, Dennis now only weighs 12 pounds and can freely play in the snow. He has had three skin-removal surgeries to remove the folds of excess skin . Then Brooke Burton adopted him from a relative who had fed him White Castle burgers, pizza and other human food, and didn't pay much attention to the dog's burgeoning belly. Burton, a 26-year-old nursing student, recalls how emotional she became when she first saw Dennis in June 2013, and then persuaded her relative to give him up. 'Out comes Dennis, and I couldn't believe it,' Burton says. 'I wasn't even sure what breed of dog he was supposed to be because he was so large.' Burton put him on diet of dry dog food, plus lots of walks and affection.

'In the beginning, you could tell he was very depressed, that he really didn't feel good at all,' Burton says. 'He didn't have much of a personality. After he lost weight, this bossy little demanding man popped out. He's into everything, he wants to play with everybody.'

The Doncaster Free Press released its Power List last week, ranking the 50th most formidable names in the South Yorkshire town.

The 80-year-old real estate mogul has added his wife Rochelle (called Shelly) and two doctors to the $600 million lawsuit, according to the most recent filing last week. In this latest filing, Sterling's lawyers claim that Shelly and two doctors worked 'secretly' with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to strip him of his team. 'Conspiracy': Former L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling (right, in black) has added his wife Shelly (left, in white fur) to a $600million lawsuit, claiming she conspired to force the sale of the team last year. The Sterlings pictured above attended a Clippers game in March 2005 . Claims: Sterling also mentioned his former girlfriend V Stiviano in the latest filings, claiming the recordings she taped of his racist rant was edited but provided no evidence. Stiviano pictured above walking around Los Angeles on August 5, 2014 . 'The NBA and Silver isolated Rochelle from her husband and scared her into undertaking certain conduct hereinafter alleged, including the signing of papers ... that she did not understand,' the complaint reads. 'All of this conduct constituted elder abuse.' Silver, who is also named as a defendant in the suit, banned Sterling from the NBA for life last year and hit him with a $2.5 million fine after tapes were released of Sterling speaking racist slurs. The doctors mentioned in the suit, Dr Meril Platzer and Dr James Spar, evaluated Sterling last May and found him mentally unfit to continue controlling his family trust, which included the Clippers. But Sterling claims that his wife Shelly 'fraudulently induced' and 'fraudulently arranged' the mental evaluations, and that the two doctors violated the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by releasing his medical records. '[The defendants] colluded and worked toward a common goal in causing injury to Sterling's financial interests,' the complaint reads. Sterling also mentions V. Stiviano, his ex-girlfriend who recorded the tapes that exposed his racism. 'Several of the statements on the recording were not made by Sterling,' the complaint reads. 'The statements alleged to be those of Sterling were apparently altered by Stiviano or her agents.' It does not offer evidence as to how the tapes could have been edited. Furthermore, he claims that the release of these medical records, and the subsequent loss of his team caused him to suffer 'extreme mental distress...including worry, anxiety, anger, embarrassment, sleeplessness and fatigue.' Shelly's lawyer Stephen Smith told the Los Angeles Times that the recent filing was 'desperate and frivolous'. Sterling is asking for $600 million in addition to unspecified punitive damages.

A jilted student sent his ex-girlfriend a picture of himself with a noose around his neck before leaping out of a window to his death - and police had to stop people from taking photos of his body, an inquest heard. Paul Millgate, a Bournemouth University psychology student, jumped out of the window of his accommodation block after falling into despair when his 16-month relationship ended. Suicide notes were found in the student's room and he had previously asked fellow residents if he should kill himself. Mr Millgate, 20, of Crowborough, East Sussex, died of devastating multiple injuries from the fall - just days after breaking up with Aleasha Istead. Before his death, he messaged Ms Istead saying 'my life is not worth living' before sending pictures taken from the window that he jumped from. He had started drinking heavily in the days leading up to his death and leapt from the building while flatmates were having a party in another room. Witnesses said his body was visible from many of the 400 flats in the halls of residence. The windows in the building are designed to only open at a tilt. But an inquest at Bournemouth Coroner's Court heard that the window's lock had been over-ridden by a previous resident who bought a special key from the internet to open it fully. Coroner Mr Payne reached a verdict of suicide. He said: 'It is my conclusion that he did deliberately take himself out of the window and sadly ended up on the ground below having jumped from the 10th floor. 'This could never have been a cry for help. He must have realised that by jumping out of there, there was only one result and that would have been his death.'

A retired police officer said the 29-stone Liberal MP was protected by a sex-offender sergeant after he was caught at a sex party with two boys. Smith walked free and the retired officer \u2013 then a probationary beat bobby \u2013 was threatened with the Official Secrets Act and told to stay silent by his colleague Don Mackintosh, who himself turned out to be a paedophile. Paedophile: A detective says he was ordered to cover up Cyril Smith's crimes by senior colleagues . Yesterday, after 27 years, the former Greater Manchester officer broke cover to reveal his anger amid growing fury over how Smith repeatedly escaped prosecution during four decades of appalling abuse. His revelations mean Smith escaped possible prosecution at least eight times after orders were made at the highest level to cover up his crimes. Last year the Daily Mail blew the lid off Smith\u2019s perverted past when it serialised Simon Danczuk\u2019s book, Smile For The Camera: The Double Life Of Cyril Smith. The Mail revealed how the Rochdale MP had repeatedly escaped police and court action for decades despite leaving a trail of young victims in his wake. Don Mackintosh, who turned out to be paedophile, threatened the officer with the Official Secrets Act and told him to stay silent . The strong suggestion has always been that the establishment conspired \u2013 via the police and security services \u2013 to protect the MP who was seen as a useful bulwark against the hard Left. Last night Greater Manchester Police announced a new inquiry into the claims. They were made just days after it was revealed that Smith had been arrested at a similarly sordid event in London but was let off. And yesterday another police force, Northamptonshire, disclosed that it, too, was probing suggestions that it let Smith off the hook in the 1980s when it discovered child pornography in his car. Labour MP Mr Danczuk said last night: \u2018More police officers are now coming forward to share their anger and disgust at how there was simply no appetite to prosecute Cyril for child abuse. \u2018Cyril Smith was a prolific abuser of children and I\u2019ve no doubt that he was on the radar of a number of police forces.\u2019 Earlier this week the independent police watchdog revealed it is overseeing 14 separate claims of cover-ups and corruption in historic sex abuse case by Scotland Yard. Prime Minister David Cameron has already guaranteed that police whistle-blowers will not be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act if they come forward. The retired Greater Manchester officer was threatened with the Official Secrets Act after he discovered Smith at the party with a prolific sex offender and two drunk teenage boys in 1988. The officer said: \u2018I had been in the force about six months. The occupier was about 70 and seemed an old granddad type.

Zachary Chesser, of Virginia, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for attempting to support terrorist groups after his name appeared on the no-fly list at an airport in 2010. The 25-year-old had been on law enforcement's radar after posting threats against the creators of 'South Park' for cartoons he felt insulted the prophet Muhammad. Zachary Chesser (pictured), of Virginia, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for attempting to support terrorist groups after his name appeared on the no-fly list at an airport in 2010 . He was arrested as he attempted to leave America to join a terror group in Somalia - hoping that taking a baby with him to the airport would make him appear less suspicious. Chesser now lives in the Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. His wife, a Ugandan diplomat's daughter named Proscovia Nzabanita, had to leave the United States in early 2011 after pleading guilty to lying about his plans the year before. The fate of their baby, Talhah, now five, remains at the center of a dispute being heard in federal appellate court this week. Chesser is suing the FBI and his own mother, alleging that agents interfered with his parental rights by conspiring with his mother and her partner to ensure that the boy could not travel to Jordan to live with his wife. Instead, the boy is being raised by his mother, Barbara Chesser, a senior lawyer in the Office of the Attorney General in the District of Columbia, and her partner, who is also named as a defendant. Chesser was behind bars and Nzabanita was facing deportation when his mother initiated custody proceedings, but both still enjoyed full parental rights, and they 'opposed placing the young boy with his grandparents, who did not share Chesser and his wife's conservative Islamic beliefs,' his court-appointed attorney, Wayne LaFond, says in their appeal. But Chesser is not seeking custody. Instead, he wants monetary damages. Chesser and his wife planned to travel together to Somalia where he would join al-Shabab extremists (file picture of al-Shabab fighters) Talhah was born in November 2009 to Chesser and his wife, a woman he met at a mosque in Washington, DC. They planned to travel together to Somalia where he would join al-Shabab, but Nzabanita's mother hid her passport. Then, in the summer of 2010, they tried again. This time, Nzabanita dropped off Chesser and the baby to make the trip without her. Soon, they were both arrested. Chesser was facing a lengthy prison sentence, and Nzabanita struck a plea deal requiring her to leave the country, likely for good. According to Chesser's complaint, agents monitoring his prison conversations in January 2011 tipped off Barbara Chesser that the young couple was making plans for a friend to take the boy to Jordan and join Nzabanita there.

The exact details of his crash, however, have remained shrouded in secrecy \u2013 like so much else associated with the Cold War \u2013 until now, thanks to the release of a recently declassified air investigation report.

It reveals that Lieutenant Commander Simon Thomas was flying a Sea Vixen jet when it exploded after crashing into the sea off the Dorset coast. He was taking part in a training exercise for a type of mission that has since been described as \u2018perhaps the most stupid, and potentially suicidal attacks ever invented\u2019. The Sea Vixen was in the vanguard of a new generation of high-speed jets that relied on swept wings and two Rolls-Royce engines to achieve near-supersonic speed. They were designed for aircraft carriers for night-time flying and one of their tasks would be to attack Soviet ships in the event of a war. Astonishingly, of the 145 Sea Vixens built, 54 were lost in accidents and 55 crew members killed during the 13 years of frontline service with the Fleet Air Arm from 1959 to 1972. This was a worse rate of attrition than the notorious F-104 Starfighter, which became known as the \u2018Widowmaker\u2019 in Cold War West Germany because 30 per cent were lost to accidents. Lieut Cmdr Thomas, the report reveals, was the designated leader when he and three other Sea Vixen pilots lined up on the runway on the night of March 17. They were tasked with taking off from air base HMS Heron, in Yeovilton, Somerset, and attacking a target being pulled by a frigate, HMS Zulu, off Portland in Dorset. Horrific: Lieutenant Commander Simon Thomas was killed during a dangerous night-time training mission . With classic military understatement the report states that they faced \u2018unpleasant conditions\u2019, which included poor visibility, fog patches and a pitch black night.

Ahead of this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix, he assesses McLaren's troubled start to the season and the disappointing curtain raiser in Melbourne. John Watson (right) pictured last year with Sir Jackie Stewart, Karun Chandhok and Damon Hill . McLaren have moved from Mercedes engines to Honda and it is a bit like any relationship; it takes time. Formula One has gone down the route of trying to cut costs, and as a result, we have seen a substantial cut in track testing which will hinder McLaren's chances of improving this term. I would like to see teams allowed to test more simply because I think the public is beginning to wonder what we\u2019re watching. Are we seeing an exercise in extremely high-level technical games or are we looking at Formula One as an entertainment and sport? What is Formula One's objective? And where does it see itself going? I understand that TV viewing figures in Germany for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix were down nearly 50 per cent on the norm and I don\u2019t think that is very good sign.

Hamilton led from start-to-finish as Mercedes dominated the first race of the new Formula One season . Maybe in Britain it wasn\u2019t so bad because of Lewis Hamilton's recent success, but there is a downside to domination, and we saw that at the turn of the century with Michael Schumacher and Ferrari, and then with four years of Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel. My big concern, and I hope I am not being over-reactionary here, is that there are so many teams in the pit-lane that are struggling financially. Giedo van der Garde's legal case against Sauber in Melbourne was hugely embarrassing and dominated the agenda at the Australian Grand Prix. It is systematic of where Formula One is right now. Driver talent is clearly secondary to budgets, albeit with a few exceptions at the sharp end of the grid. Teams desperately need funding. My other worry is whether global companies are looking at F1 as a sport which they want to commit to. I don\u2019t see any substantial company coming in as a title sponsor to any team. Hamilton is bidding to become the first British driver to win consecutive Formula One world championships . Pastor Maldonado crashed on the opening lap while Lotus team-mate Romain Grosjean retired moments later . The sport, whether it is the governing body, the FIA or CVC, Formula One\u2019s commercial rulers, need to sit down and say \"what are we doing?\" \"what are we trying to achieve?\" and \"are we achieving it?\" Last year we did have some good races, but I don\u2019t want to see another grand prix like Melbourne where", "summary": "John Watson, former McLaren driver, was alarmed by race in Melbourne .

Young people are un-tagging pictures, writing false posts and even adopting parallel identities in a bid to keep their personal information safe, according to the Market Research Society. They have even resorted to posting deliberately vague statements on their accounts - known as 'vague-booking' - to prompt real friends to respond privately for further details. Scroll down for video . Vague-booking: Young people are deliberately posting vague statements and false information in a bid to keep their personal data private, research has found . The findings contradict Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's claims in 2010 that the age of privacy is over - and no longer a 'social norm'. The report, by Colin Strong of the MRS Delphi Society, says the rise of apps like Snapchat - which erases pictures after a short amount of time - show teenagers are increasingly concerned about what strangers see. His report says: 'There is an almost universally held view that teenagers simply don\u2019t care enough about online privacy.' At face value, this appears to be true, as many young people flood public social media accounts like Twitter and Instagram with endless streams of selfies and personal information. Mr Strong cites the example of Paris Brown, who was forced to resign from her position as the country's first youth police crime commissioner in 2013 after a series of ill-advised tweets she had posted years before emerged. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg claimed people had become more comfortable with sharing private information online . Jane Frost, chief executive of the MRS, told The Sunday Times that she estimates a third of Twitter users have a private account, only shared with close friends, as well as a public persona. She had many used several fake identities for things like video gaming, while closely guarding accounts made using their real names. Ms Frost said the findings will pose problems for businesses, who will not be to take consumers for granted. Mr Strong adds that just because young people post things in public forums, it does not mean have no desire for privacy. 'Just because it's in a public space doesn't mean they want publicity,' he said. His views are in stark contrast to those of Mr Zuckerberg, the chief executive of the world's biggest social network. Speaking at the Crunchie Awards in 2010, he claimed people had grown more comfortable sharing their private information online. He said: 'People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. 'That social norm is just something that has evolved over time.' He explained the rise of social media reflected the changing attitudes of people.

It\u2019s a problem that has been weighing on scientists\u2019 minds for years \u2013 how to redefine and accurately measure the kilogram. Currently the unit of measurement is based on a metal cylinder - which should weigh precisely 1,000 grams - that is kept under lock and key in Paris. But the cylinder is gradually losing mass, leading German researchers to look for a new formula to create the most accurate definition of a kilo. The International Prototype Kilogram shed 100 micrograms (0.0001g) last century, which although is around the weight of dust particle, means the official kilogram is becoming slowly less accurate. Scientists at the German Nation Metrology Institute (PTB) in Braunschweig have come up with an ingenious way to create a more exact measure of mass, which involves counting the number of atoms needed to make up a kilogram, instead of relying on a piece of metal. But in order to win the international race to redefine the kilogram, they must perfect the method by developing the world\u2019s roundest sphere. Horst Bettin, head of the PTB's kilogram project, said: 'Our goal is to have PTB master the realisation of the future kilogram completely anonymously.\u2019 After years of research, they have created a method of making incredibly pure circular crystals made from tiny vortices of silicon gas. From incredibly pure silicon, they are able to grow a flawless single-crystal whose inner structure is completely regular and without fractures. The company said: 'Both being free of impurities and having a regular structure are preconditions for the success of the experiment.' 'From the round-bodied, cylindrical single-crystals, PTB produces crystal spheres that are rounder than anything else in the world.\u2019 Scientists at the German Nation Metrology Institute (PTB) in Braunschweig have come up with an ingenious way to create a more exact measure of mass, but they first need to perfect their technique by counting the atoms in the world's rounded spheres (pictured) The aim is \u2018to produce the connection between the mass of the sphere and the mass of an atom,' by counting the atoms. Physicist Peter Becker told The Local: \u2018We work out the number of atoms in the sphere, weigh the sphere and therefore work out how much an atom weighs.\u2019 This mathematical method has enabled the mathematicians to discover the Avogadro constant. The company said: 'Already at this point, PTB scientists miscount only twice every one hundred million atoms. Kilograms of different materials are based on the measurement of the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK). \u2018The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram,\u2019 according to Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM).

Despite earlier reports that Ryanair was developing low-cost transatlantic flights, the company is now denying such plans . However, it is understood that the ideas of such a transatlantic project is still being explored, but with the intention that Ryanair would not operate the flights. Instead, any sort of budget Europe to America service, should it come into fruition, would be operated by a sister company under a separate brand. Earlier this week, it was reported that Ireland-based budget carrier was moving forward on plans to run services between key European cities and the US with one-way tickets costing as little as $15 (\u00a310). The news came on the heels of a statement made by Michael O'Leary, the airline's chief executive, last year. He told the Irish Hotels Federation conference that Ryanair would be offering $15 flights to Boston and New York, but also admitted that passengers would be expected to pay extra for everything from meals to baggage. Chief executive Michael O'Leary, has said that $15 flights were in development but 'four or five years off' 'Not every seat will be ($15) of course; there will also need to be a very high number of business or premium seats,' he reportedly said. He's also said in the past that the company has had a business plan in development for low-fare, transatlantic flights for awhile, but would need to wait until new aircraft could be ordered. 'The difficulty is, I keep cautioning, is that there's no availability of long-haul aircraft for another four or five years.'

Ed Miliband today sought to cool the row over his unusual domestic arrangements, insisting he prefers the 'functional kitchenette' where he was seen posing for TV cameras. The Labour leader, who has repeatedly insisted he is not interested in photo opportunities,was filmed sipping tea at home with his wife Justine in a modest kitchen at his \u00a32million North London home. Now it has emerged that the image of the Labour leader as a man of the people with a run-of-the-mill home was not all it appeared. For Mr Miliband actually lives in a house with two kitchens. The godmother to one of Mr Miliband's children tonight revealed that the kitchen Ed Miliband and his wife were pictured in was in fact a 'functional kitchenette' next to the family's sitting room . Jenni Russell, a newspaper columnist, said the kitchen Mr Miliband was pictured in was used for 'tea and quick snacks' and insisted the family's main kitchen was 'lovely' The poky room the couple were pictured in, albeit with an oven and hob, was revealed last night by a family friend to be a 'functional kitchenette' for 'tea and quick snacks'. The revelation opened up the Labour leader to claims that he was trying to make his family life look more humble than it is, even though his home is reputed to be worth \u00a32.5million. And 'two kitchens' Miliband invites unwelcome comparisons with the controversy over John Prescott for having 'two Jags'. Today Mr Miliband denied choosing to be filmed in the smaller kitchen because it was less imposing. 'The house we bought had a kitchen downstairs when we bought it,' he told the Birmingham Mail . 'And it is not the one we use. We use the small one upstairs.' Pressed again on why he was shown in the smaller kitchen, Mr Miliband added: 'This is the kitchen Justine and I use.' He joked: 'I think Justine would probably say she wishes I'd spend more time in the kitchen.' Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine, the wife of Tory chief whip Michael Gove, wrote an article in yesterday's paper sympathising over the 'forlorn' kitchen as depicted on BBC News on Tuesday evening. She wrote: 'Very rarely do I feel sorry for Ed Miliband, but seeing him standing there in his forlorn little kitchen, staring into the middle distance while sipping from a stripy blue-and-white mug, part of me wanted to rush home from work, sling some jolly painted crockery in a bag and head over there with a tin of home-made brownies. 'Surely that can't really be Ed and Justine's kitchen? All that lovely huge, fancy house, and that is where they do their cooking? 'I hope for their sake that it's actually their utility room, and that some bossy spin doctor has shoved them in there to make their \u00a32million-plus townhouse in North London's trendy Kentish Town look less fabulous and to bolster Ed's man-o'-the-people image.'

Peter Gerard Scully slipped out of Melbourne and fled to Manila in 2011 after he allegedly scammed more than $2.68 million from 20 investors in an investment scheme, The Age reports. Scully was under investigation from 2009 by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission but avoided being charged with 117 fraud and deception offences, having departed Victoria. When the 52-year-old returned to Australia, he was accompanied by a Malaysian teenager named Ling, who was believed to be his 'girlfriend' before he turned her into a prostitute, associates claim. Peter Gerald Scully (right) was arrested for human trafficking and child porn-related offences arising from his alleged sexual abuse of Filipino girls which was filmed and then posted online for paying clients . The allegations followed as the father-of-two was arrested last month after the body of a teenage girl was found buried under a house he rented in Malaybalay, Bukidnon. Scully was charged on Friday and he could now face the death penalty in the Philippines after being accused of killing a child and orchestrating an international paedophile ring. The Age reports Scully was never charged with child sex crimes in Victoria but a number of associates claimed he had a horrific sexual history. An unnamed former business associate, who lost more than $200,000 in the fraudulent scheme, told The Age he was neither surprised about the recent charges laid against Scully.

Police alleged Scully would undertake acts in response to requests from his clients from across the globe, who paid to live-stream videos of children being tortured and sexually abused. It has sparked such an outrage in the Philippines that calls are growing daily to have him executed. It's alleged Scully, from the Melbourne suburb of Burwood, had took part in perverted acts against children as young as one, which he filmed.

Now a size 12, Michelle no longer feels the need to eat a whole loaf of bread every day . She continued: 'I still enjoy all my favourite meals like burgers and chips and roast dinners but I've learned how to make small changes like using lean meat or cooking with low calorie spray instead of oil or butter. 'It fits in really well with the rest of my family and we can all eat the same meals.' Michelle weighed 25st 3lbs when she joined the group in April 2013 and has since dropped to 12st 10lbs. She said: 'Before I lost the weight I hid behind a big bubbly personality. I'd pretend it didn't bother me that I was bigger than most other people, but that was far from the truth.

Robert Durst's (left, in mugshot taken Saturday) family has taken out a restraining order against him, in the wake of his recent arrest on murder charges. Durst's brother Douglas pictured on the right in November 2014. In the state of California, murder convicts can only be eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without parole if prosecutors prove that the murder was carried out with a 'special circumstance'. In Durst's case, the alleged special circumstances include killing a witness and lying in wait. Last year, California's death penalty was deemed unconstitutional, but the state will likely appeal the decision. The last time a California death row inmate was executed was in 2006. Durst, 71, was recently the center of HBO documentary The Jinx, and in the final episode which aired Sunday, appears to confess to killing multiple people when he thinks the audio on his microphone is off.

Chief Mike Koval said he knows Madison is being watched across the nation since 19-year-old Tony Robinson's death on Friday evening, and he has gone out of his way to avoid what he once called Ferguson's 'missteps.'

Scroll down for video . Chief Mike Koval said he knows Madison is being watched across the nation since 19-year-old Tony Robinson's death on Friday evening, and he has gone out of his way to avoid what he once called Ferguson's 'missteps' The contrasts with Ferguson are many. While Ferguson police initially gave little information about the shooting of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old, unarmed black man, Koval rushed to the home of Robinson's mother. She didn't want to meet with him, he said, but he talked and prayed with Robinson's grandmother in the driveway for 45 minutes. It took a week for Ferguson to release the name of the officer who shot Brown. Koval announced the name of the officer involved in Madison, Matt Kenny, the day after the shooting. He volunteered to reporters that the officer had been in a previous fatal shooting in 2007, and that he had been cleared of wrongdoing. On the day that Ferguson police named the officer who shot Brown, they also released video showing what they said was Brown robbing a store. Tony Robinson, an unarmed black 19-year-old, was fatally shot Friday, by Matt Kenny, a white police officer, the Madison police chief said Saturday . When Koval was asked about Robinson's past criminal record Saturday, he declined to comment, saying it would be inappropriate to do so a day after the man died. 'We have a police chief who genuinely feels for a family's loss. It should be abundantly clear to anyone following this incident that Madison, Wisconsin, is not Ferguson, Missouri,' said Jim Palmer, executive director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, the state's largest police union. But the chief's measured approach hasn't impressed some demonstrators. Koval angered some of them earlier this year with a blog post demanding they stop blaming police for their problems. 'There are no apologies that can repair the loss or deal with the loss of (Robinson),' said Brandi Grayson, an organizer with Young, Gifted and Black, a Madison group that has demonstrated against what it says is mistreatment of blacks by the justice system. 'This was bound to happen. There's nothing the chief can say short of changing the system.'

The budget airline has announced it plans to fly to New York, Boston, Chicago and Miami from London Stansted, Dublin and Berlin from 2020. The \u00a310-a-ticket proposal is part of a wider plan to change its image and 'stop p****** people off' because boss Michael O'Leary's schemes to squeeze more money out of passengers left many irate.

But despite a largely positive reaction online to the proposed transatlantic expansion, others have also used it to crack a joke at the frugal airline's expense. Some said that Ryanair's New York hub could be in Nova Scotia, Canada, or passengers may have to 'sky dive in and hope you don't land in the Hudson river' so the thrifty company can avoid landing costs. Others pondered how much people would be charged for not printing their own tickets, and if the \u00a310 deal would include any food, leg room, entertainment or any luggage. Jason Bournemouth tweeted: 'It's Ryanair so New York means, at best, landing in New Jersey. Probably Iowa'. Mail columnist Andrew Pierce wrote: 'Ryanair to launch \u00a310 flight to US.

Moscow has strongly denied these allegations. Investigators say it is 'too early to draw conclusions on the disaster', but their appeal for witnesses could not be clearer.

The budget chain continues to undercut the giants on everything from fruit and vegetables to eggs and pasta, an independent study found. Aldi came out cheapest on a basket of 33 commonly bought items at a total of \u00a342.15, a saving of almost \u00a38 compared to the \u00a350.11 charged by Asda. Tesco was next best at \u00a353.97, then Morrisons on \u00a354.29 and Waitrose at \u00a359.98. An new study has found that Aldi, pictured, continues to undercut the big five supermarkets on everything from produce to eggs and pasta . The German retailer was a remarkable \u00a318 \u2013 29.9 per cent \u2013 cheaper than Sainsbury\u2019s, which came in at \u00a360.15 in the survey by The Grocer magazine. The figures suggest that families could comfortably save more than \u00a31,000 a year by switching to a budget supermarket. The mainstream stores insist the figures are not a fair reflection of prices. However it is clear customers believe the discount chains really do make their money go further. Aldi\u2019s sales are up 19.3 per cent on a year ago, giving it a market share of 5 per cent, which is almost on a par with Waitrose. The growth of Aldi and its rival Lidl has triggered the greatest change in shopping habits since the 1950s when the large supermarkets first arrived to push aside independent traders. Studies suggest their combination of low prices and awards for their upmarket ranges of food and drink has successfully attracted the \u2018BMW classes\u2019 to their no-frills outlets. The mainstream stores, which have lost millions of customers, have responded by slashing prices on high profile items such as milk and bread, which is hurting their finances. Tesco has issued a series of profit warnings and Morrisons last week announced trading profits have halved. Even Waitrose has been dragged into the price war and has just reported a 24 per cent fall in annual profits. Such has been the impact of price cuts that it is now cheaper to feed a family than a year ago, and CPI inflation is expected to show Britain is about to enter its first period of deflation since the 1960s. Research by retail analysts Him! has revealed a significant change in the type of people shopping at Aldi and Lidl. The proportion who are in the wealthiest AB demographic category is up from 12 per cent in 2013 to 31 per cent today. However, the low prices are part of a package which means service at the budget chains is often below what people have come to expect. The Grocer found Aldi came bottom in terms of store layout, clutter in the aisles and difficulty getting through the \u2018illogical, frantic and cramped check-out\u2019. Sainsbury\u2019s said the figures in the study were skewed by the fact it covers only a small number of the many thousands of items it stocks.

Nicole Slama, 30, was working at the now-shuttered New York club Quo in December 2007 when her employer, Gary Malhotra, told her he wanted to talk to her about a job opportunity at a new venue. That's when Malhotra pushed Slama into the closet, blocking the door with his body, and offered the waitress cocaine before asking if he could snort a line off her body, Salma's lawsuit claimed. Slama said that, after she declined, Malhotra then complimented her backside before telling her 'I want to sniff it off your a**'. Malhotra then grabbed her backside and chest and, according to the suit, told Slama he would sniff cocaine off her breast as she cried out for him to stop. Slama said that, after she continued to resist, her boss said she had to let him snort a line off her shoulder 'because you work for me' and then slipped off one of her tank top's straps. He then shook cocaine on Slama's shoulder and 'snorted the line' off it before he 'began licking her shoulder and neck,' according to court papers. Slama said she tried to push her boss away the entire time but he was 'much larger and overpowered her'. It wasn't until Malhorta left for a cigarette break that Slama said she was able to sneak out and report the incident to police. Malhorta was convicted of sexual abuse, harassment and forcible touching in 2009. He was sentenced to five days of community service, according to the New York Daily News. In 2010 Slama filed a $3.5million civil suit against her former boss, suing him for sexual harassment and mental anguish. But Malhorta delayed Slama's case for years because he claimed he was going to appeal the criminal conviction. After the deadline to file an appeal passed, Slama was able to win a default judgement against Malhorta in 2013.

BBC bosses are said to be in negotiations about the tour, which was planned to be fronted by Jeremy Clarkson along with co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond under the BBC Top Gear brand. However the future of the shows, which have sold 200,000 tickets, has been cast into doubt after Clarkson was dismissed from the BBC last week for an 'unprovoked' attack on a Top Gear producer. Scroll down for video . Jeremy Clarkson (right) was due to front the Top Gear Live tour from next month, but talks are now underway about how the shows can go ahead and if BBC branding will be removed after he was dismissed . It is understood if the corporation tries to block the world tour, which starts in Australia next month, from going ahead they could be liable for refunding tickets at a total cost of around \u00a310million. Fans have paid between \u00a335 and \u00a3200 for tickets to the live shows. One option could be to allow the events, which will also take place in London and South Africa, to go ahead under a different name and without some of the key elements of the lucrative BBC show - such as the Stig. A message on the Top Gear Live tour website thanks fans for their 'continued patience'. It says: 'We have not canceled any shows - but we are working through the implications of Jeremy's contract not being renewed by the BBC.' Live Nation, which has been promoting the tour, said it would go ahead in some form but they may have to rebrand. Phil Bowdery said: 'The BBC owns the name and certain aspects of the show. We won;t be able to use any VT of Top Gear. Clarkson, 54, was dismissed from the BBC last month for an unprovoked attack on a Top Gear producer . 'There will be a new name and no Stig because obviously that's their property. We've sold an awful lot of tickets and we want to keep faith with people who bought the tickets.' Sources have claimed there is a small chance the show could go ahead unchanged, but most believe it will have to be significantly changed. It could be renamed Clarkson, May and Hammond Live or MPH Live, the Sunday Mirror reported. Clarkson is already set to return to the BBC on April 24 when he appears as a host on Have I Got News for You. Hat Trick Productions, which makes the show, said there is no reason to believe the show will not go ahead as planned.

Baraka Cosmas was sleeping at his mother's house in Kipenda, Tanzania, on Saturday night when a group of men stormed in and grabbed him, police said. They beat up his mother before using machetes to cut off the boy's right hand. A six-year-old albino boy had his hand hacked off in Tanzania in a savage attack by a gang who use body parts for witchcraft . The latest assault comes days after Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete blasted the wave of killings and attacks against albinos as a 'disgusting and big embarrassment for the nation'. He said: 'I believe that with close co-operation between the government and society, we will succeed in ending these killings of persons with albinism and rid our nation of this shame.' A police spokesman said: 'The gangsters got hold of the victim's mother, Prisca Shaaban, and beat her severely after she refused to hand over the boy. Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete (above) blasted the wave of killings and attacks against albinos as a 'disgusting and big embarrassment for the nation' 'The assailants later used machetes to cut off the boy's right palm and walked out.' Albino body parts are thought to sell for around $600 (\u00a3397) with an entire corpse fetching nearly $75,000 (\u00a349,685), a UN expert said. At least 75 albinos have died in the region since 2000. Earlier in the week four people were sentenced to death for the murder of 22-year-old albino woman Zawadi Mangidu. Tanzanian police on Monday banned a planned demonstration by the Tanzania Albinism Society in the country's commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, citing security reasons. But Kikwete has said he had agreed to meet albino leaders next week to discuss possible solutions to the killings. The murders have been concentrated in the gold-rich regions and fishing communities surrounding the country's Lake Victoria, where superstitious beliefs are rampant. Albinism is a hereditary genetic condition which causes a total absence of pigmentation in the skin, hair and eyes. It affects one Tanzanian in 1,400 often as a result of inbreeding, experts said. In the West, it affects just one person in 20,000. Albinos are seen as curses, or 'ghosts' who can be wiped off the face of the earth in many parts of Tanzania. Families are often told to kill the children at birth. Yet, conversely, their body parts are highly prized. Witch doctors claim albino body parts are capable of bringing riches, power and success, if used in potions, while a UN report report into the trade revealed miners used the bone as amulets, or would bury them where they are drilling for gold. Fishermen are said to weave the hair into their nets to help them catch more fish. Children are particularly vulnerable - their innocence is highly valued and they are not as strong as the adults attacking them.

+{"article": "When it comes to living on Mars, there\u2019s one major problem that will affect future astronauts: oxygen, or rather, a lack thereof. But an instrument called Moxie - the Mars Oxygen In-situ Resource Utilisation Experiment - could provide a solution. It will attempt to turn carbon dioxide on Mars into oxygen when it is taken to the red planet by a new Nasa rover in 2020 - and it could be a precursor to similar technologies on manned misisons. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is creating an instrument for Mars. Called Moxie (shown here in this illustration) it will attempt to turn the planet's carbon dioxide into oxygen. It will be taken to the red planet by a new unnamed Nasa rover in 2020 . Speaking to Business Insider, former astronaut and principle investigator for the instrument Dr Jeffrey Hoffman explained the project. \u2018It will be the first time when we will actually produce oxygen on the surface of Mars,\u2019 he said. This next-gen vehicle is the successor to the Curiosity rover, with upgraded hardware and instruments to examine Mars' rocks. The rover will assess the potential of the environment for humans to live in one day and search for signs of Martian life. It will identify and collect a collection of rock and soil samples, which it will be able to send back to Earth intact, via another spacecraft one day in the future. Dr Charles Elachi, director of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has previously said that collecting a rock sample and bringing it back to Earth is Nasa's top priority. Scientists are particularly interested in the samples so they can understand the hazards posed by Martian dust and demonstrate how oxygen can be created - details important to consider for human missions to Mars and the future colonisation of the planet. The rover marks the next major step in fulfilling President Obama's challenge of sending humans to Mars in the 2030s. The atmosphere of Mars is 96 per cent carbon dioxide and less than 0.2 per cent oxygen, but the team hope to convert the former into 99.6 per cent pure oxygen. To do so, it gathers carbon dioxide from its surroundings and isolates oxygen atoms, then combines them to make O2 - breathable air. On this occasion, together with the by-product of carbon monoxide, the gases will be released back into the air. But proving the technology works would have important implications for future missions - and not just for breathable air, but fuel as well. \u2018Ultimately, the idea is that Nasa would send both an empty rocket and a larger version of Moxie to Mars, before a planned human mission,\u2019 writes Jessica Orwig for Business Insider. \u2018The oxygen-producing machine would take about a year and a half to fill the rocket with enough liquid oxygen for lift off. \u2018Then, when astronauts arrived, they would have a rocket fueled up and ready for launch to take them home.\u2019 Nasa\u2019s Mars 2020 rover is a planned \u00a31.2 billion ($1.9 billion) roving laboratory, similar to the Mars Curiosity rover currently on", "summary": "The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is creating a Mars instrument .

+{"article": "Few people expect Manchester City to go to Barcelona and overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But here's 10 good reasons Manuel Pellegrini's men should travel in hope... 1 - CHELSEA PROVED MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN . Chelsea were 2-1 down on aggregate to Barcelona and down to only 10 men in their second leg at the Nou Camp in 2012 \u2013 and still went through. Goals from Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta put Barca in control even before John Terry was sent off. Then, incredibly, Ramires scored on the stroke of half-time and after surviving immense pressure, Fernando Torres scored to book Chelsea's place in the final, which they went on to win. Chelsea sealed a place in the 2012 Champions League final by drawing 2-2 with Barcelona at the Nou Camp . 2 - PELLEGRINI CAN TAP INTO MALAGA . Barcelona lost their last game at the Nou Camp on February 21 to Malaga, the team that Manuel Pellegrini managed between 2010 and 2013. Pellegrini will be able to get all the inside info on how they did it and also used to work with the winning goalscorer, Juanmi. If Juanmi can slay Barcelona, there's not reason why Sergio Aguero can't follow suit. 3 - NO REASON TO FEAR . City captain Vincent Kompany knows what it feels like to score at the Nou Camp, Joe Hart saved a penalty from Lionel Messi three weeks ago and Yaya Toure won the Champions League with Barca alongside the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique. While the rest of the world regard Barca's players as demi-gods, City have been up against them before and shown they are human, or played with them. Joe Hart saved a late Lionel Messi penalty to keep his side in with a chance of progressing to the next round . 4 - EL CLASICO AWAITS . Coach Luis Enrique won't be thanking La Liga for the way they've worked out their fixture list because an even bigger match lies in store on Sunday when Barca meet Real Madrid in a potential title decider. The temptation not to play at 100 per cent against City will be there particularly as they already hold a 2-1 advantage from the first leg. It will be up to Pellegrini's side to take advantage if the Barca players have half an eye on the weekend. Barcelona boss Luis Enrique will have one eye on his side's upcoming match against Real Madrid . 5 - CITY BEST IN ADVERSITY . If there is one thing Manchester City have proved in recent times it's that they should never be written off. They were eight points behind Manchester United with six games to play in 2012 \u2013 and won the title. In 2014, they were three points behind Liverpool with three to play, and again came out on top. Most significantly, they have shown 'bouncebackability' in Europe too. They qualified from the group stages despite taking two points from their opening", "summary": "Manchester City face Barcelona at the Nou Camp in Champions League .

Former US representative Anthony Weiner was spotted taking his son for a quick stroll near his downtown Manhattan home yesterday. They were seen enjoying themselves amid claims Weiner's wife has been caught up in the Hillary Clinton email scandal . They were spotted enjoying themselves as Weiner's wife Huma Abedin faces scrutiny about using a private email account. Abedin is one of three top Clinton aides who reportedly used email addresses hosted on the former secretary of state's private server. Senior figures in Congress were already investigating Clinton's communications from 2009-13, which they say were not conducted via official State Department accounts but a 'clintonemail.com' address. Clinton has handed over 55,000 pages of communications from the time - but admitted on Tuesday during a news conference that she deleted more than 30,000 emails she decided were personal in nature and unrelated to her job. The 50-year-old house husband made sure he pushed three-year-old Jordan high on the swings before the pair ran off to get pizza . The investigation has now widened after it emerged that one of Abedin's email addresses is Huma@clintonemail.com, showing that she could have also been using the server to conduct official business. Daily Mail Online confirmed the address through Lexis-Nexis, a commercial service that compiles public records. It comes nearly four years after Weiner's own scandal where he resigned from Congress for sending sexually suggestive photographs of himself via his public Twitter account to other women.

Victims were allegedly lured into the 'boiler room' scam by 'persistent and persuasive' salesmen who told them the limited coloured stones would pay handsome returns because they were from mines which were closed or closing. But those involved had allegedly valued the yellow diamonds at more than 2000 per cent their worth, Southwark Crown Court heard. Rommell Brown, 31, (left) and Anna Foord, 20, (right) are among the two defendants accused of orchestrating a 'boiler room' scam by allegedly persuading investors to buy coloured diamonds at twenty times their value . The bank accounts for the two companies through which the sales were made were also haemorrhaging cash on luxury goods, the court heard. More than \u00a32,000 was splurged in Hugo Boss, while \u00a32,100 was spent in Louis Vuitton.

In the first recorded outbreak of Alabama rot to be reported in Britain, dogs have fallen ill and died up and down the country. Pet owners are warned to look out for lesions on their dogs' legs as vets continue to search for the cause of the disease. The disease was unknown in this country until November 2012, when reports started emerging of dogs dying mysteriously in the New Forest, Hampshire . Outbreaks of Alabama rot, which attacks blood vessels in the skin and kidneys, have affected dogs in the US as long ago as the 1980s. But the disease was unknown in this country until November 2012, when reports started emerging of dogs dying mysteriously in the New Forest, Hampshire. The results of an investigation into the outbreak, published last night in the journal Veterinary Record, reveal the full horror of the disease. Although the initial cases were reported in Hampshire, incidents have since been confirmed across England and Wales, from Somerset in the South West to County Durham in the North East. Unlike the US cases, which have only affected greyhounds, the British outbreak has caused problems to a wide variety of different breeds. It has affected English springer spaniels, flat coated retrievers, whippets, Labradors - dogs of all shapes and sizes from a cocker spaniel to a Doberman. There have been 103 suspected incidents reported by vets, lead researcher David Walker told the Daily Mail last night, although only 52 of those have been confirmed by postmortem examinations. All those dogs died - either killed by the disease or put down by their vets. Unlike the US cases, which have only affected greyhounds, the British outbreak has caused problems to a wide variety of different breeds, including this retriever Erin who died from the disease . Mr Walker, a vet who practises in Hampshire, said the team's investigation had not established why the disease had so suddenly sprung up, how it had arrived in Britain, or why certain dogs had been affected. But he warned pet owners to remain alert to symptoms. 'The main message is that we are still seeing cases spring up. Although the numbers are relatively small, continued vigilance is the best thing. People should look out for skin lesions when the dog hasn't obviously been cut on something.' He admitted much remains unknown about the problem. 'We don't know whether this is a condition that has been in the UK for a while, but just was unrecognised, or whether it had recently emerged,' he said. One of the many dogs struck down the disease was Tegan, a three-year-old fox terrier cross, who died in February 2014 after walking near Ashurst in the New Forest.

This most brilliant yet political of drivers, who is apt to spell the word team with the pronoun \u2018I\u2019, delivered his disloyal lines here yesterday quietly, courteously and devastatingly. A steering problem, he told a press conference before Sunday\u2019s Malaysian Grand Prix, was the cause of the McLaren driver\u2019s apparently innocuous accident during pre-season testing in Barcelona last month. Just one thing: McLaren repeatedly said there was nothing wrong with their car.

Fernando Alonso stands in front of the world's press as he poses for the cameras ahead of Sunday's race .

Alonso has claimed his steering wheel locked which caused his pre-season testing crash in Barcelona . \u2018The steering problem came in the middle of turn three,\u2019 elaborated Alonso, who missed the opening race in Melbourne as he recovered from the crash that threatened his career. \u2018It locked into the right and when I approached the wall I braked at the last moment, I downshifted from fifth to third, and unfortunately we are still missing some data.\u2019 How routine steering data would not be readily available baffled most observers, including a host of former drivers. \u2018I\u2019ve listened to Alonso\u2019s very clear explanation of the incident,\u2019 said broadcaster Martin Brundle, who drove in 158 grands prix. \u2018Now I\u2019m really confused.\u2019 One of the FIA\u2019s most senior technical officials commended McLaren\u2019s report as honest and robust. Why, then, would the Spaniard blame a steering problem when there is apparently no supporting evidence? Alonso is set for his second McLaren debut after he left the team at the end of the 2007 campaign . The Spaniard was in good spirits as he addressed the media in Sepang after being declared fit to race . The two most obvious reasons are that he was either too proud to admit he made an error, or a possible neurological glitch caused him to black out prior to hitting the wall (even though he was changing gears, he may have been semi-conscious as he did so). It appears he did not mention any steering problem to McLaren until last week - three weeks after the accident. They then smuggled a quotation from him citing this explanation into the middle of a press release on Monday, perhaps to appease him. What they did not expect was Alonso to make such a fuss about the issue when he spoke in the Sepang paddock. That left McLaren snookered. They could not disregard their meticulous data, nor could they publicly argue with their \u00a325million-a-year driver - relations between the team and Alonso still have not entirely recovered from the fractious year he spent at McLaren in 2007.

BBC bosses stressed last night that the new show was not a replacement for the Corporation's embattled Top Gear.

The Australian Queen Garnet contains some of the highest levels of antioxidants ever found in a fruit and has just gone on sale in the UK. According to studies the fruit has five to ten times more anthocyanins than a normal plum. The Australian Queen Garnet has five to ten times more of the antioxidant anthocyanins than a normal plum . The superplum was created during a breeding programme for a disease-resistant version of the common plum . Anthocyanins provide the dark colours of many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and red peppers. Research suggests that the plant antioxidants, which mop up harmful molecules, can help protect arteries and prevent the DNA damage that leads to cancer. The plum was accidentally created during a breeding programme for a disease-resistant version of the common plum in Queensland, Australia. It is currently undergoing trials in studies with obese rats, and early results relating to the fruit's potential to aid weight loss have been positive, reports say. Rats were fed a diet high in fats and carbohydrates until they were obese. Then a few drops of the plum juice was added to the rodent's drinking water, which the rats consumed during their daily 30 minutes of exercise. The previously obese rats shed most of their excess weight in eight weeks. Anthocyanins provide the dark colours of many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and red peppers. They have high levels of antioxidants which appeare to reduce inflammation and reduce the effects of arthritis in the body. The compounds in the antioxidants have similar effects as drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Professor Lindsay Brown, from USQ Biomedical Sciences who led the research told the BBC that the results from the rodent-led research are enough to make a case for the plums health claims. 'All the changes that rats experience with obesity - glucose levels, cardiovascular functions, inflammation - all those occur the same way in humans,' Prof Brown said, adding: 'The plums taste really nice.' Marks & Spencer claims it is the first retailer in the UK to stock the new variety of plum. M&S fruit technologist Andrew Mellonie said: 'This is one of the most exciting new fruits to hit the UK in the last decade. 'It is a win-win fruit. Not only is it delicious but also incredibly healthy. It was created purely by chance and is an amazing discovery that could offer significant health benefits.' Similar levels of anthocyanins in berries usually made them inedible, but the Queen Garnet is incredibly sweet and a 'delicious addition to the fruit bowl' with a 'delicious jammy taste - similar to that of a black fig', Mr Mellonie continued .

Google has already experimented with unlocking phones using faces, but for some this just isn't immediate enough. A number of Android owners have spotted a new feature that keeps the phone constantly unlocked as long as it's in a person's hand, resting on their leg or even just sitting in a pocket. The 'on-body detection' feature uses the phone's built-in accelerometer to know when it's being handled or moved, and will only lock the screen when placed on a flat surface. On-body detection was first spotted by fan site Android Police in the Smart Lock menu of a Nexus 4 running Android Lollipop. But there have since been numerous reports of the phone appearing on other Lollipop devices, and not just Google's own Nexus range. It appears to be linked to the most recent version of Play Services - a tool used to update Google's built-in apps. The on-body detection menu explained: 'The feature uses your device's accelerometer to detect whether your device is still being carried on the body. 'If your device detects that it's no longer being held, your device won't stay unlocked.' The phone has to be unlocked the first time it is picked up in the morning but once unlocked it will stay open until it is put on a table or similar. But as Google added, if the user unlocks their device and hands it to someone else the phone or tablet stays unlocked as long as the other person continues to carry it. It is also unclear how active the screen will be in a pocket. Google may shut down services but keep the screen unlocked, to avoid opening apps or accidentally calling people, known colloquially as 'butt dialling.' Google offers passwords and PINs to secure its phone, and more recently added Face Unlock (pictured) to phones running Android Ice Cream Sandwich and above. It recognises a person\u2019s face and can establish whether or not the face being shown to the camera is real, or is a photograph . These services may then be enabled once the phone detects it is in a person's hand. It is also not clear what impact having the screen constantly unlocked will have on battery life. MailOnline has contacted Google for more information. A combination of special hardware and software will be used to accurately verify it is you, not a picture of you or someone trying to impersonate you. The cameras use infrared technology to identify your face or iris and can recognize you in a variety of lighting conditions.

And now an amazing 150-year-old photograph has emerged of boys at the private school playing cricket - one of the earliest images ever taken of the sport. The earliest ever photograph of a school cricket match, and the second oldest of any cricket anywhere, has been discovered and is to be sold at auction. An 1860s photograph of young men playing cricket at Eton has been discovered and is to be sold at auction. It is thought to be the second oldest image of the sport ever taken . The photograph was signed by Victor A. Prout in pencil. It will be sold at auction by Dominic Winters Auctioneers in Cirencester . Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, was a British leader who is said to have traversed the playing fields at Eton College when he was a student in the 1780s. The Duke attended Eton, which was founded in the 15th Century by King Henry VI, before he joined the army in 1787 and later helped defeat Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815. According to history, he touched the ground at Eton and claimed: 'There grows the stuff that won Waterloo.' He was later misquoted repeatedly as having said: 'It is here that the battle of Waterloo was won.' His statements were construed by historians as references to the 'manly character induced by games and sport' among the English youth. The previously unseen image was taken in the early 1860s and shows 11 young men dressed smartly in trousers and waistcoats. Resting on their bats, they pose for the photographer with the distinctive Eton College visible behind them. The photograph was taken by Victor A. Prout who signed it in pencil afterwards. Dating from around 1862, it was taken just five years after the first ever image depicting the sport. It is to be sold by Dominic Winters Auctioneers in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and is expected to fetch at least \u00a3500. Auctioneer and Senior Valuer Chris Albury said: 'This early, and previously unknown, cricket photograph in this album probably dates from circa 1862, some five years after the earliest photograph of a cricket match.' The first ever photo of cricket was taken by Roger Fenton in 1857, a founding member of the Royal Photographic Society and famous for his photographs of the Crimean War. He first captured the sport in during a match between the Royal Artillery and the Hunsdonbury Cricket Club at the Honourable Artillery Ground in Islington, London, 25 July 1857. Around 100 years before the image of taken the Duke of Wellington is said to have traversed the playing fields at Eton where he was a student.

Spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said a cardinal in charge of St Peter's Basilica, which Michelangelo also helped to design, had been offered the documents for 'a certain price'. Rome newspaper Il Messaggero said the person, described as a former Vatican employee, had asked for 100,000 euros (\u00a372,000). The Vatican said a cardinal was sent a ransom demand asking for \u00a372,000 to return two letters by Renaissance master Michelangelo (pictured, St Peter's Basilica, which the artist helped to design) This is the first time the Vatican has acknowledged the theft of the two letters, one of which supposedly contains Michelangelo's signature. Lombardi said the cardinal 'naturally refused because these are stolen documents'. He added that a nun who worked in the Vatican archives informed officials back in 1997 that the documents had gone missing, but he did not say why the Vatican had not disclosed the theft before. While the newspaper spoke of only one letter signed by Michelangelo, who lived from 1475 to 1564, the spokesman said two documents had gone missing. He added that Vatican police were now investigating the case with their Italian counterparts. No further details have been given about either of the documents, which were taken from the archives of the Fabbrica di San Pietro which looks after the upkeep of the basilica. The demand is believed to have come from a former Vatican employee. Until a spokesman confirmed the threat, it was not known that the documents had been taken back in 1997 . However, The Times reports the signed letter is believed to discuss art commissioned by the Pope. The archives contain numerous documents concerning the history, design and construction of vast holy site. The basilica took more than 100 years to build and was completed in 1626. Michelangelo took over the construction of the basilica in January 1547, while in his seventies, after the death of Pope Paul III's preferred candidate, Giulio Romano. Drawing on the complex plans laid down by a chain of architects before him, Michelangelo brought them together into a workable model, and is responsible for much of the basilica as it stands today.", "summary": "Vatican says it was sent demand by man believed to be a former employee .

Body Worlds: Animal Inside Out, in which animal carcasses are preserved and displayed, opens today at Ambassador Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. Created by plastinator Dr von Hagens and curator Dr. Angelina Whalley, the exhibition offers visitors an 'anatomical safari' past nearly one hundred anatomically dissected animals. Scroll down for video . Samba the elephant, which at 3.2 tons and 6metres by 3.5 metres in size is the largest animal ever plastinated, is on display at the Body Worlds: Animal Inside Out exhibition . Some have been given the full-body plastinate process, while a series of 'single specimens' offer preserved organs or even slices of animal. The graphic exhibition features Samba the elephant which, at 3.2 tons and a size of 6 by 3.5 metres, is the largest whole animal ever plastinated. Samba is joined by a gorilla packing 120 kilograms of muscle, watched on by its human close relative, as well as a giraffe, bear, shark and many more. 'It is fascinating to see the anatomical similarities of the vertebrates on the one hand, and how many different anatomical variations have formed on the other hand in response to an animal's living conditions\u2014such as the elephant's trunk or the giraffe's long neck,' says the curator Dr. Angelina Whalley on the exhibition website. Step 1. Embalming and Anatomical Dissection He halts decay by pumping formalin into the body through the arteries. Using dissection tools, the skin, fatty and connective tissues are removed in order to prepare the individual anatomical structures. Steep 2. Removal of Body Fat and Water The body water and soluble fats are dissolved from the body by placing it into an acetone bath. Step 3. Forced Impregnation A reactive polymer - silicone rubber - replaces the acetone. The specimen is immersed in a polymer solution and placed in vacuum chamber. The vacuum removes the acetone from the specimen and helps the polymer to penetrate every last cell. Step 4. Positioning After vacuum impregnation, the body is positioned as desired. Every single anatomical structure is properly aligned and fixed with the help of wires, needles, clamps, and foam blocks. Step 5. Curing (Hardening) The specimen is hardened with gas, light, or heat. Dissection and Plastination of an entire body requires about 1,500 working hours and normally takes about one year to complete . It aims to illustrate the complexity of the animals' insides, and how different animals have adapted both their anatomy and their organ function to their natural habitats. The exhibition uses plastination, a technique developed by German anatomist Dr von Hagens in 1977 for preserving biological tissue specimen. The process is used in anatomy to preserve bodies or body parts, by replacing water and fat with certain plastics, to create specimens that can be touched, do not smell or decay. Plastination was originally used to preserve small specimens for medical study.

You might imagine that stronger wine would pack more of a punch in the flavour department. But Spanish neuroscientists claim that red wine with a low alcohol content produces more brain activity in \u2018taste processioning\u2019 areas, then stronger tipples. While the low alcohol bottles may not contain more flavour per se, people pay more attention to \u2018fruity bouquets\u2019 and \u2018woody notes\u2019 so the wine appears to be tastier. Neuroscientists led by Ram Frost, of the Basque centre of Cognition, Brain and Language in Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain, wrote in their study, published in the journal Plos One: \u2018Over the last few decades, wine makers have been producing wines with a higher alcohol content, assuming that they are more appreciated by consumers. \u2018To test this hypothesis, we used functional magnetic imaging to compare reactions of human subjects to different types of wine, focusing on brain regions critical for flavour processing and food reward.\u2019 They noted that 30 years ago, it was typical for red wines to contain around 12 per cent alcohol, while now quality tipples can be 15 per cent. This is because wine makers \u2018seem to\u2026 assume that strong wines are, on the average, more appreciated by wine consumers,\u2019 Dr Frost said, adding that they seem more intense, which is considered desirable by some foodies. To reveal that stronger wines aren\u2019t necessarily better, his team measured the brain activity of 21 volunteers in a fMRI scanner. During the scan, the volunteers had the enviable task of sipping samples of different red wines where one was low alcohol and another stronger, but they tasted similar. The researchers measured the brain activity of 21 volunteers in a fMRI scanner while they sipped red wine. They found: Contrary to expectation, significantly greater activation was found for low-alcohol than for high-alcohol content wines in brain regions that are sensitive to taste intensity, including the insula as well as the cerebellum. An image from the study showing brain activity triggered by wine is shown . \u2018Contrary to expectation, significantly greater activation was found for low-alcohol than for high-alcohol content wines in brain regions that are sensitive to taste intensity, including the insula as well as the cerebellum', the researchers wrote. In fact, there was no part of the brain that responded more strongly to the more alcoholic wine, meaning that strong wines \u2018induce weaker activation relative to the low-alcohol content ones\u2019. This may be because people paid more attention to the flavours of the less potent wine, even though they are not more flavourful themselves, Discover Magazine reported. The experts hypothesised: \u2018The low-alcohol content wines induced a greater attentional orienting and exploration of the sensory attributes of wines relatively to high-alcohol content wines.\u2019 Wine critics have previously said that New World, or high alcohol wines, often lack the finesse of less potent options, because the alcohol overpowers some of the more subtle aromas and flavours. \u2018The findings raise intriguing possibilities for objectively testing", "summary": "Spanish neuroscientists gave volunteers samples of red wine to drink while they scanned their brains in an fMRI machine .

A quadruple amputee Rottweiler named Brutus is getting the chance to walk again thanks to a new set of artificial limbs . Brutus, who lives in Loveland, Colorado, is only the second dog to ever have four prosthetic limbs . But now Brutus has a loving foster mother in Laura Aquilina, who is training the dog so he can get used to a life with artificial limbs. 'You can't explain to an animal why you are putting these contraptions on their feet,' she told Fox 31 Denver. 'You can't explain it to them, that it's to help them.' Brutus' new limbs, which he was outfitted with in September 2014, gives him a high step that resembles a 'bucking bronco'.

And the dog will soon undergo physical therapy and get an improved set of prosthetics to boot. Brutus' artificial limbs were made by OrthoPets of Denver, which makes prosthetics for about 250 animals around the world every year. OrthoPets founder Martin Kauffman said Brutus was 'dealt a short hand' but can now 'get out and do normal doggy things'. 'It just makes you feel so good,' he told Fox 31 Denver. Aquilina said Brutus is an example of why people shouldn't give up on animals with disabilities. 'If he ended up in a shelter they'd say he was unadoptable because he's missing his feet,' she said. 'I think its good for people to know we can work with animals like this.'

Official figures reveal there has been a fall of almost 80 per cent in the number of cases brought against firms by employees .

The introduction of fees of between \u00a3390 and \u00a31,200 to take an employer to a tribunal, refundable if the case is won, has seen a 78 per cent fall in the number of cases since it was introduced in July 2013, the figures showed.

Six points clear with a game in hand hardly constitutes a crisis. Mourinho would certainly have bought that at the start of the season, any manager would.

Click here to read Martin Samuel's full match report . Host commentator . Chelsea miss the chance to go eight points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League table as Southampton claim a point at Stamford Bridge. And Koeman's side were worthy of the point as they impressed throughout the 90 minutes. Costa put his side in the lead, however his effort was cancelled out when the Saints were awarded a first-half penalty which Tadic converted. Azpilicueta came close to scoring a late winner however Forster was able to beat the ball away for a corner. Terry then almost gets on the scoresheet with a driven effort at goal, however he is unable to find a way past Forster. Pelle has just played a delightful lobbed pass to Mane but the Senegal international is unable to get the ball under control when going through on goal. Remains 1-1 at Stamford Bridge.

A triple killer was allowed out on day release, leaving him free to murder a Good Samaritan in a decision today branded a 'catastrophic failure' by the chief inspector of prisons. Ian McLoughlin stabbed to death Graham Buck, 66, while allowed out from HMP Springhill in Buckinghamshire, where he was serving a 25-year jail term for killing two men he believed were paedophiles. McLoughlin had travelled to the home of former prisoner and convicted sex offender Francis Cory-Wright in Hertfordshire in July 2013, and filled a pillowcase with cash and family heirlooms in a robbery. Mr Buck heard his neighbour's screams and went to investigate what was happening, but was dragged inside by McLoughlin, who slashed his throat. In a report drawn up in January last year but made public today, Nick Hardwick, the chief inspector of prisons, highlighted a catalogue of failings that allowed McLoughlin to be released. He said: 'The decision to release Ian McLoughlin had catastrophic consequences.' In a highly critical report, Mr Hardwick warned that the system for identifying and managing prisoners released on temporary licence (ROTL) are woefully inadequate. The number of prisoners serving indeterminate sentences, which are handed out to the most dangerous convicts, and allowed out on day release has increased from 38,000 to more than 90,000 between 2008 and 2012. But Mr Harding said the systems for managing these offenders in open prisons 'lack clarity and are insufficiently robust'. He added: 'There is a general presumption in favour of granting ROTL. The purpose of individual releases is not clear, and there are insufficient safeguards to manage the risks presented by some higher-risk-of-harm prisoners.' Wanted: Ian McLoughlin met convicted paedophile Francis Cory-Wright, 88, in prison, and during a subsequent manhunt he was last seen at this hotel CCTV, released by police at the time . Attack: McLoughlin burgled convicted sex offender Francis Cory-Wright and neighbour Graham Buck heard his neighbour's screams and was dragged inside by McLoughlin, who slashed his throat . He said protection arrangements 'are not routinely reviewed when prisoners transfer to open prisons' and 'risk assessment processes are inadequate'. A lack of competence and failures to share information are leading to 'indefensible releases', he added. McLoughlin had a history of violent attacks towards men he suspected of paedophilia and had failed to return to prison after being allowed out on day release before. But despite these warning signs, poor leadership and a failure to properly assess the risk he posed meant officials waved through his day release in July 2013. The convicted killer failed to return to HMP Springhill while released for the day in December 2010. He went out drinking all day and returned to a man's house where he was found by police called out to reports of two men having a row. McLoughlin was arrested, but not charged, for being drunk and disorderly and returned to a closed prison.

The idea of Black Friday has been imported from America, where retailers offer big discounts to kick start the Christmas shopping season. However, it proved a disaster in Britain last year with long queues and violent scenes which saw the police criticising supermarkets for failing to put in place proper security. The web stores trade body, IMRG, has warned retailers that they will have to fundamentally rethink how they handle Black Friday this year after a catastrophe in 2014 . At the same time, many online stores were simply unable to cope with the rush of orders with the result that a huge delivery backlog was created. Many retailers were also disappointed to find the event merely brought forward sales that would have happened later in December, rather than generating any extra business. The web stores trade body, IMRG, has warned retailers that they will have to fundamentally rethink how they handle Black Friday this year. Significantly, it said: \u2018Black Friday can be very profitable for retailers who get it right, but discount rates will need to be rationalised and panic-discounting avoided.\u2019 It suggests stores might want to spread the discounts and promotion over a longer period, perhaps a weekend or week, in order to avoid the spike in orders. Firms should also ensure they have sufficient couriers to cope and warn customers that deliveries may take longer than normal, or set up alternative click and collect services.

Supporters, including Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, have said it was important to make sure the corridor project is completed. The original highway overhaul was expected to cost $2 billion and be completed by 2015. The new timeline for replacing the busy Alaskan Way Viaduct, damaged in a 2001 earthquake, is 2017. State transportation officials, contractor Seattle Tunnel Partners (STP), and manufacturer Hitachi Zosen were readying next steps in Bertha's removal and repair, a project spokeswoman said on Friday. 'STP has told us that taking the machine apart and lifting it to the surface will take significant time and effort,' a statement said. Along with mechanical issues, the project has been set back by other concerns. In February, four men at the site were injured when a rebar wall collapsed, causing them to fall 25 feet. Two Seattle firefighters walked about a half mile into the State Route 99 tunnel and carried out one of the injured men while the others walked out. A fifth worker escaped injury, while his four colleagues were taken to Harborview Medical Center, he said. One of the men suffered a fractured arm.

We kept calm and defended well and then we got that second goal, which makes things a little bit easier for us at the end.

Nearly one in five said they cannot easily make the appointments offered \u2013 despite promises that family doctors would extend their hours to evenings and weekends. The number of patients who are 'fairly or very dissatisfied' with the opening hours at their surgery has risen by two million, or some 43 per cent, in the past three years alone, jumping from 3.7million in 2012 to 5.3million, the latest GP Patient Survey found. The number of patients who are 'fairly or very dissatisfied' with the opening hours at their surgery has risen by two million in the past three years alone, jumping from 3.7million in 2012 to 5.3million (file picture, posed) And a quarter of patients are now waiting more than a week to see their GP. Labour, which obtained the data, said it shows the failure of the Conservatives to deliver on their promise to introduce a seven-day-a-week service. They said that this is piling pressure on emergency departments as patients who cannot get a GP appointment decide to go to A&E instead. David Cameron promised in his party's manifesto at the last election in 2010: 'We will ensure that every patient can access a GP in their area between 8am and 8pm, seven days a week'. But a survey by the Daily Mail last year revealed millions of patients wait three weeks to see their GP, and only one in three now manages to secure a same-day appointment. GPs have spoken out about their struggle to meet demand. Maureen Baker, of the Royal College of GPs, said last week: 'GPs are facing unprecedented pressures in trying to care for increasing numbers of patients with increasingly limited resources. 'We believe that the way to best improve patient care and keep the NHS sustainable is to invest properly in general practice and to ensure that we have enough GPs to cope with the demand of our growing and ageing population.' She has previously warned that 'we do worry on patient safety grounds that access is becoming more of a problem', as the delays to seeing patients can lead to late diagnoses of deadly illnesses such as cancer. Labour said the figures show the failure of the Conservatives to deliver on their promise to introduce a seven-day-a-week service. Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham (pictured) said it is 'on David Cameron's watch' The Labour party says it will open 8,000 more GP surgeries and extend surgeries' opening hours if it wins office. But critics accused Labour of botching negotiations of the GP contract in 2004, causing a drop in out-of-hours cover from GPs and forcing patients to attend crowded A&Es instead. Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham will say today: 'One of Cameron's first acts as Prime Minister was to scrap Labour's guarantee of an appointment within 48 hours and our extended opening scheme.

Police Chief William McCollom called 911 early New Year's Day to report accidentally shooting his ex-wife, Margaret, as the couple slept in their bed. A prosecutor plans to seek a misdemeanor charge \u2014 but not a felony \u2014 against McCollom. Resignation: Police Chief William McCollom resigned from his position in the Peachtree City Police Wednesday . The couple divorced in 1999 and later reunited.

He said last week that Margaret is being treated for the paralysis at a spinal cord rehabilitation center. The chief told investigators he drank alcohol and took medication to help him sleep. McCollom had a loaded handgun under the sheets. '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 dispatcher, according to a recording of the call.

This is according to a new study that claims raw milk makes people 100 times more likely to get ill than the pasteurised version.

Raw milk has not been pasteurised by heat treatment. Advocates believe it is s healthier, cleaner, and tastes better. But a new study claims raw milk makes people 100 times more likely to get ill . Raw milk has not been pasteurised by heat treatment. All fresh milk sold in the high street is pasteurised \u2013 heated to 72C (162F) for 25 seconds. As well as killing E.coli, the process also eliminates campylobacter, salmonella and listeria. Untreated raw milk is thicker with a distinctive creamy taste. But any harmful bugs on the body or udders of the cow that pass into the milk are not killed off. Cheese made from raw milk may contain these bugs. Advocates of the product argue that pasteurisation removes important nutrients, such as folic acid. They also claim raw milk is associated with reduced levels of asthma, hay fever and food allergies in children. But US tests have shown that the nutrients in raw and pasteurised milk are the same. Advocates believe that raw milk, which contains more natural antibodies, proteins, and bacteria than pasteurised milk, is healthier, cleaner, and tastes better. They argue pasteurisation removes important nutrients, such as folic acid. But the new study shows the risks are better understood than the benefits and that more research is needed to prove that the health claims are legitimate. They claim it can put people at risk of microbial contaminants commonly found in milk including infectious Salmonella, Campylobacter,and Listeria species along with the most dangerous form of E. coli. These bacteria can cause foodborne illness in humans, including diarrhea, vomiting, cramping, fevers, and sometimes more serious consequences such as kidney failure or death. 'The risks of consuming raw milk instead of pasteurised milk are well-established in the scientific literature and in some cases can have severe or even fatal consequences,' says Cissy Li, a graduate student in environmental health sciences at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. 'Based on our findings, we discourage the consumption of raw milk, especially among vulnerable populations such as the elderly, people with impaired immune systems, pregnant women, and children.'

Italian scientists say the fort may have been used to fight off pirates 2,000 years ago and possibly paved the way for the modern Italian city of Trieste. Researchers discovered the structure, built in 178 BC, using Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar) \u2013 a technology which uses pulsed lasers to measure distances to the Earth. Lidar revealed the oldest known Roman military camp called San Rocco. Italian scientists say the fort may have been used by to fight off pirates 2,000 years ago, paving the way for what is today the city of Trieste . A scanner was placed aboard a helicopter which then flew over parts of Muggia Bay. A laser then sent out 100,000 short laser pulses to the ground each second. A sensor recorded the light to measure a range, which was combined with position and orientation data from GPS to create a 3D map. The method allows researchers to reveal structures that are hidden beneath trees or that have a form that are not easily recognised in other ways. 'After seeing the image of the first Roman camp, [Federico Bernardini] ran to the site, 30 minutes from our institute, to search for direct evidence,' study co-author Claudio Tuniz, from the Fermi Center in Rome told Live Science. 'After a brief stroll through the site, he found clear signatures of the Roman period.' These included hobnails used to make the military shoes of Roman soldiers and fragments of Roman amphorae, widely used to store oil, wine and other food products. Pictured is a Lidar-derived digital terrain model of the fort. Red represents surviving emerging features. The black circles indicate the main pre-Roman sites of the area . After spotting the site using Lidar, researchers then explored the area on foot to find several Roman artefacts. Pictured is military footwear hobnail from Grociana piccola . Flying above the intended target area, Lidar works by sending out 100,000 short laser pulses to the ground each second. When a laser is pointed at a targeted area on the ground, the beam of light is reflected by the surface it hits. A sensor then records the light to measure a range. When laser ranges are combined with position and orientation data from GPS the result is a dense, detail-rich 3D map. The pulsed light can reveal structures that are hidden beneath trees or that have a form that are not easily recognised in other ways. Lidar mapping was originally used to provide intelligence after earthquakes, military spying and for river erosion detection. Around 32 acres (13 hectares) in size, the structure was defended by fortifications, such as ramparts up to about 80 feet (25 metres) wide. The main fort was on a hilltop 1.2 miles (2km) from the shore of the Bay of Muggia, and was flanked by two minor forts either side. The fort was built in 178 BC, making it several decades older than any other Roman fort", "summary": "Scientists found the structure, built in 178 BC, using Lidar technology .

The crossbow, which was found intact this week, could have shot an arrow up to 2,600 feet - about the length of nine football pitches, the People's Daily Online reported. The discovery is particularly exciting as experts believe the crossbow may hold the secret to the success of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Discovery: This is the first ever crossbow to have survived intact found from the Qin Dynasty . Uncovered: The bow is still half-buried next to one of China's famous terracotta warriors . The crossbow, which was found half-buried next to one of the terracotta statues, was discovered by archaeologists working at the site. It is the first time archaeologists have seen a complete version of the weapon, although they previously found 10 more broken crossbows in the same pit. The bow measures almost five feet in length, with a height of about 50 inches. Its size suggests that it was one of the most powerful bows of its era. Historical texts indicate that its firing range could have been up to 2,600 feet, according to Huashang Newspaper, which is double the range of an assault rifle, which is about 1,300 feet. Some historians believe that analysis of a number of historical texts shows that the crossbow was integral to several important military victories of the period. Archaeological importance: Many weapons have been found in the pits, like these ones from 2006 . New: A 'Qing', an item which they had only read about in history books, was also discovered in the pit . Archaeologists are equally excited about the discovery of a 'Qing', an item which they had previously only read about in historical texts. The Qing helps explain how the crossbow was transported and stored, helping it to maintain its shape when not in use. 'We believe that not only in the Qin dynasty but perhaps during the entire Warring States Period they had a very complete system of weapons production, storage and transportation,' Shen Maosheng, the archaeologists' team leade,r told Central China Television.

The ancient site contains a collection of underground caverns containing everything the emperor would need for the afterlife, including reproductions of his armies, concubines, administrators and servants.

The suspect, Pedro Hernandez, told authorities that he choked Etan in the basement of the convenience store where he worked after luring the boy down the stairs with a promise of a soda. He told investigators he put the boy's body in a plastic garbage bag, then put the bag inside a banana box and walked it about a block and a half away and put it down in an alcove with other trash. The body was never recovered. Part of Hernandez's job at the store was to lug boxes of produce, soda and beer up and down the basement stairs into the shop in SoHo. Bizarre request: The defense for Pedro Hernandez (pictured in court in November 2012) have asked to use 50lbs of potatoes in court to show he would not have been able to life Etan Patz's body as he claimed . 'I put it on my shoulder. I walked to the right,' he said of the box during his videotaped confession. 'I was strong at the time. I was 18. I was strong.' Victim: Etan Patz was just six when he vanished while walking to his school bus in Manhattan in 1979 . But attorneys for Hernandez, now 54, say the confession was made up and Hernandez is mentally ill. Attorney Harvey Fishbein suggests Hernandez was scrawny, weighing only about 115 pounds, and could not have carried a heavy box that far. He is asking to bring in the 50 pounds of potatoes and the produce box for jurors to demonstrate the weight of the body. On the missing-child poster, Etan's weight was listed as 50 pounds. But prosecutors say the measurement was a mistake made by frantic parents, and medical records from just a few months before Etan vanished have the boy weighing about 37 pounds. His mother, Julie, testified that he was very small for his age. Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon argued that the method for showing how heavy the box would be is unscientific and should not be shown to jurors because it would be wrong. 'It is incompetent evidence and unscientific because carrying a body is vastly different than potatoes,' she said. It would be the second piece of unconventional evidence on whether the confession is plausible. Earlier in the trial, prosecutors showed jurors a photo of a little boy crouching in a produce box, intending to show that Etan's body would have fit into such a box. The boy is Etan's size and shape but isn't identified. Defense attorney Alice Fontier argued that the photos were equally as unscientific. 'The people have been given free reign,' she said.

The security guard who was duped into letting the thieves at the center of America's most notorious unsolved art crime into the Boston gallery from which they looted paintings worth $500million has spoken of his guilt. Rick Abath, who was a college drop-out working night shifts at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990, said he still feels 'horrible' about his inadvertent role in the crime, which has baffled investigators for decades.

+{"article": "A force field that can protect vehicles from the destructive blastwaves thrown out by explosions has been development by aircraft manufacturer Boeing. The company has been granted a patent for a device that appears to work like the fictional shields seen in science fiction movies like Star Wars and Star Trek. The system works by using an 'arc generator' to rapidly heat the air in front of a shockwave creating a cloud of electrically charged gas. Scroll down for video . Boeings patent proposes creating an arc of plasma in front of vehicles, like that shown in the diagram above, that can defect and absorb the energy shockwaves from explosions, helping to reduce the damage they cause . This, Boeing says, creates a buffer that can refract, deflect and absorb the energy contained within the shockwave. They say the device could be mounted on vehicles such as tanks and armoured personnel carriers, buildings, aircraft, ships and submarines. British military scientists have been working on a new type of armour designed to repel incoming fire from vehicles. The armour, developed by researchers at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) would use pulses of electrical energy to defelct rockets, shrapnel and other ammunition that might damage a vehicle. Engineers behind the techology claim it is possible to incorporate supercapacitors into the body of a tank or armoured personnell carrier to turn it into a kind of giant battery. When incoming fire is detected, the energy stored in the supercapacitor can be rapidly dumped onto the metal plating on the outside of the vehicle, producing a strong electromagnetic field that creates a momentary forecfield capable of repelling incoming metal. If timed correctly, the scientists behind the technology say it could help to prevent rocket propelled grenades and shells that detonate on impact from reaching their target. They claim the device could work both in the air and underwater, helping to protect assets from rockets, landmines, torpedoes and Improvised Explosive Devices. Writing in the patent, Boeing said: 'The majority of the damage caused by explosive devices results from shrapnel and shockwaves. 'Damage from shrapnel may be prevented by, for example, physical barriers. 'Shockwaves are travelling discontinuities in pressure, temperature, density and other physical qualities through a medium such as the ambient atmosphere. 'Shockwave damage is more difficult to prevent because shockwaves can traverse an intermediate medium including physical barriers. 'Damage from shockwaves may be lessened or prevented by interposing an attenuating material between the shockwave source and the object to be protected.' Blastwaves thrown out from explosions often cause more widespread damage than the immediate blast area, often structural damage to vehicles and buildings. The high pressures and temperatures created by shockwaves can also cause secondary explosions. Recent research has also shown that blastwaves can cause devastating internal injuries to soldiers, particularly when in the enclosed space of a vehicle. Boeing's patent proposes using lasers (shown above) or microwaves to create plasma to slow the shockwave .

A Mediterranean diet is more protective against heart disease than exercise, a new study has revealed. Those who stuck to the diet, consisting of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, olive oil, fish and even a glass of red wine were 47 per cent less likely to develop heart disease over a 10 year period. The study, from Harokopio University in Athens, is the first to track 10-year heart disease risk in a general population. Most previous studies have focused on middle-aged people. The study, presented at the American College of Cardiology's annual conference, is based on data from a representative sample of more than 2,500 Greek adults, . Aged between 18 to 89, they provided researchers with health information on themselves each year from 2001 to 2012. Nearly one in five of the men and 12 per cent of the women developed or died from heart disease, including stroke, coronary heart disease and heart attack. The researchers scored participants' diets on a scale from 1 to 55 based on their self-reported frequency and level of intake from 11 food groups. Those who scored in the top-third in terms of adherence to the Mediterranean diet were 47 percent less likely to develop heart disease over the 10-year follow-up period (compared to participants who scored in the bottom-third). Each one-point increase in the dietary score was associated with a three percent drop in heart disease risk. This difference was independent of other heart disease risk factors including age, gender, family history, education level, body mass index, smoking habits, hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol. Women tended to follow the Mediterranean diet more closely than men, the researchers noted. Study author, Professor Demosthenes Panagiotakos, said: 'Our study shows the Mediterranean diet is a beneficial intervention for all types of people in both genders, in all age groups, and in both healthy people and those with health conditions. 'Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was more protective than physical activity. 'It also reveals the Mediterranean diet has direct benefits for heart health, in addition to its indirect benefits in managing diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and inflammation. Protective: The Mediterranean diet comprises fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, olive oil, fish and red wine . 'Because the Mediterranean diet is based on food groups that are quite common or easy to find, people around the world could easily adopt this dietary pattern and help protect themselves against heart disease with very little cost.' The researchers admitted that because the study was limited to Greeks living in the Athens area it might not reflect the health patterns of other countries. But they did point out that urbanised Greeks were eating a more western diet, similar to that of Americans. The analysis also confirmed results of previous studies indicating that male gender, older age, diabetes and a measure of inflammation are associated with an increased risk for heart disease.

David Villa is expected to make his MLS debut against Orlando City FC on Sunday for New York City . New York City make their mark off the pitch with stellar signings and aggressive advertising to sell seats . After all, there is no institution on planet football which has the kind of structure CFG have attempted to build. The Yokohama F-Marinos were purchased last May while Melbourne City are enjoying the fruits of their Abu Dhabi association. NYCFC manager Jason Kreis and his squad enjoyed time rubbing shoulders and tapping into Manuel Pellegrini's knowledge last month. A simply priceless opportunity not afforded to others. Yet MLS doesn't operate like the Barclays Premier League, or anywhere else for that matter. The Sheik's incredible \u00a31.2b investment in Manchester will not be replicated here. With strict, and at times mind-numbingly convoluted, rules ensuring spending doesn't exceed strict guidelines, NYCFC haven't been able to scour the world and bring a bucket load of superstars to Manhattan. Kreis was swiftly brought in by former City midfielder Claudio Reyna who is now the club's sporting director. Forty-two-year-old Kreis is highly rated in the US following an impressive seven year-spell with Real Salt Lake City where he won the MLS Cup in 2009. With the franchise being based in New York City, a place where the biggest names come to play, the money men in the Middle East were acutely aware just how important it was to bring excitement to the table. NYCFC manager Jason Kreis and his squad rubbed shoulders with Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City . NYCFC start their season on Sunday in front of a 60,000 crowd against fellow new franchise Orlando City . Putting bums on seats was vital - a view not shared by the New York Red Bulls. Star men Thierry Henry and Tim Cahill have not been replaced with faith placed in younger, hungrier players. The natives at the Red Bull Arena are far from happy. NYCFC though knew big names had to arrive especially at the inception with a temporary home at Yankee's Stadium in the Bronx not the ideal base to spend the first three years. A soccer specific stadium is in the pipeline \u2013 yet, as David Beckham is finding out in Miami, locating real estate for sporting venues in major US cities is anything but straightforward. So in came David Villa and, protractedly, Frank Lampard. Both stellar signings tap into the fervent, cosmopolitan football fanbase here.

Such gas giants, as far as we know, are not hospitable to life, but now it has been suggested that the moons of these planets could be habitable. If confirmed, it would suggest these locations could be the predominant sources for life in the universe, not worlds like our own Earth. The idea was discussed by Dr Sarah Ballard of the University of Washington in Seattle, on the Public Radio International's (PRI) show The Takeaway. Scroll down for audio . Dr Sarah Ballard of the University of Washington was speaking to PRI. She said exomoons could be the 'predominant sites of life in the universe'. Shown is an illustration of Upsilon Andromedae d, the large world in the distance, orbiting the gas giant in the foreground, which could have habitable moons . She explained how Jupiter-sized planets in the habitable zones of stars - where conditions are ideal for water, and perhaps life - are more common than single rocky worlds like Earth. Hot exomoons . Too close to a star and an exomoon may have an average temperature above the boiling point of water, making it highly unsuitable for any form of life. Habitable exomoons . Exoplanets orbiting in a system\u2019s habitable zone (where liquid water can persist on a planet\u2019s surface) still need sufficient gravity to trap an atmosphere that regulates their temperature. If these conditions are met, however, the prospects for life are promising. Snowball exomoons . Moons formed in the outer reaches of an alien solar system are likely to be dominated by ice. They will remain deep-frozen unless heated by tides from their parent planet - again these are unlikely to be habitats for life. Transient exomoons . Moons of planets with elliptical orbits might be habitable for most of their planet\u2019s year, but can experience hot or snowball periods as they venture too close to their star, or too far from its life-giving heat. Source: All About Space magazine . \u2018If even some of these Jupiter-sized planets have moons, they might be the predominant sites of life in the universe,\u2019 she said. In particular, she focused on the world of Upsilon Andromedae d, a gas giant exoplanet about 10 times the mass of Jupiter, located 44 light-years from Earth. While the planet itself is not thought to be habitable, it is possible that a moon in its orbit - known as an exomoon - could be.

Lordina Jane, President and Founder of Palm Oil Investigations (POI) discovered the harrowing letter on Tuesday, ahead of the release of the POI app on Wednesday evening. The free app - developed by the not-for-profit over the past 12 months - will inform consumers about the palm oil content of the products available on supermarket shelves. 'When I opened that letter I went cold... I took the letter and went straight to the police,' Lorinda told Daily Mail Australia. This anonymous letter was sent to Palm Oil Investigations (POI) President Lorina Jane threatening her, and her daughter and claiming to know where they live . 'It's a really gutless thing to do... The person who sent it has been that gutless they wouldn't put their name to it.' Lorinda is the founder and president of the not-for-profit which provides information to consumers about products that contain palm oil . Coming from an anonymous source, the letter made claims that should their company feature 'unfavourably' in the new app, 'we will be your worst enemy'. 'We know you are soon to release a phone app about products with palm oil in,' the letter began. 'If our company is listed unfavourably we will be your worst enemy. 'If our listing has a negative effect on our company, we know where you live, we know you have a daughter and we know where she goes to school. You will both need to watch your back,' it continued. 'You have bragged online that your app will be a \u2018game changer\u2019, it well may be only not how you expect,' the letter concluded, . Lorinda said in the years since the POI launched their Facebook page - which has over 144,000 'likes' - they have never encouraged any consumers to boycott particular brands, but are about simply providing information. The letter, which was printed and not handwritten, and featured no company markings, is the first of its kind according to the POI founder. Lorinda believes it could have come from a smaller brand they have contacted in the process of putting together their app - which acts as a barcode scanner and puts products into five categories. The threats came a day ahead of the release of the POI app, which aims to inform consumers about the palm oil content of the products they consume . The first category is palm oil free, the second indicates the company has signed on to stop deforestation, the third is palm oil certified - which means they use ethically sourced oil, the fourth is for companies or products which used a mixed supply of certified and uncertified oil, and the final is a fail. A fail means the company have refused to provide details when approached by POI, or that they use uncertified palm oil.

Sarah Sims claimed she had a long list of qualifications from the University of London and said she had been given a 'ladyship' by Warwick University. The three-times married 'doctor' also claimed she had been an officer in the Ministry of Defence as she applied to be head of childcare services at a children's home in Folkestone, Kent. But she was finally exposed as a fraud after the employers discovered her qualifications were completely made up. Sarah Sims claimed she had been given a doctorate by the University of London (pictured), but it just was one of a long list of lies she told . Sims, 41, claimed on her CV that she received a first class bachelor's degree, master's degree and philosophy doctorate from the University of London. She said her last job had been lead welfare officer at the MoD, and included glowing testimonial from her line manager Sergeant Major Darren Pugh. Three-times married Sims, who lives in a \u00a31million home near Canterbury, also claimed to be a member of the 'British Association of Counselling and Psychology (BCAP).' She added that she had been awarded the title of 'Ladyship' from Warwick University for community 'good works'. The highly-qualified 'doctor' seemed the perfect fit for the role as operations director at Ferndearle Child Care Services - until it was revealed that nearly her entire CV was a lie. A jury at Canterbury Crown Court heard that Sims did not receive any of the psychology degrees she claimed to own, and her university had no record of her ever being a student there. Warwick University said it never gives out the title of 'ladyship' and the British Association of Counselling and Psychology does not exist. Sims' glowing reference from her 'line manager' Sergeant Major Darren Pugh turned out be be her 48-year-old husband - Darren Pugh - who was himself cleared of fraud. The three-times married 'doctor' also claimed she had been an officer in the Ministry of Defence as she applied to be head of child care services at a nursing home, Canterbury Crown Court (pictured) heard . The court also heard that two other references listed on Sims' CV as 'therapeutic supervisors' were actually her parents. Piers Reed, prosecuting, told how Sims applied for the Folkestone post in February 2011, saying she was considering leaving the Army. Mr Reed said: 'She said she was a doctor of psychology and was interested in working for Fearndale. She contacted the manager and part-owner of the home and arranged to visit.' 'Mr Pugh had been in the Army, but not at that time. In her job application, she stated she had been a student at London University and had obtained a BA in Psychology, an MA and Phd in Behavioural Psychology.

+{"article": "Planets wandering through space, unattached to any star or solar system, may be much more common that previously thought, according to an expert. The planets are hard to find because, without orbiting a star, they reflect very little light. But 50 have now been found in the past 15 years, leading some to suggest they may be abundant in the universe. Ashley Yeager for Science News has explained that solo planets (artist's impression shown) could be common. This is thanks to more regions of dust and gas than we thought. Planets become 'rogue' when they are ejected or form on their own and about 50 have been found in the last 15 years . The potential for these free-floating planets to be common was discussed in an article by Ashley Yeager for Science News. Rogue planets, or interstellar planets, are planetary objects that were either formed by themselves or were ejected from a system. A brown dwarf is commonly regarded as the \u2018missing link\u2019 between stars and planets. They are too large to be classed as true planets, but too small to have ignited nuclear fusion at their cores and be classed as stars. When a celestial body first forms, its size will determine what sort of object it becomes. As a star forms from a cloud of gas, its core becomes so large that hydrogen fuses into helium. Conversely, a planet forms into a smaller sphere that is not large enough to have nuclear fusion at its core. Brown dwarfs fall somewhere in between. They are the size between a gas giant like Jupiter and a small star. Their mass, meanwhile, can be anything from 15 to 75 times the mass of Jupiter. This is not enough to sustain fusion but, owing to their size, this has led astronomers to coin brown dwarfs \u2018failed stars\u2019. As they don't emit much light it\u2019s thought there may be many rogue brown dwarfs drifting through the galaxy waiting to be discovered. How abundant they are in the universe, though, has been the cause of some debate. But Ms Yeager explained so-called globulettes - regions of dust and gas that can form planets - could make them more common than thought. The number of possible planets in one such region is not known, and this depends on what the boundary between cloud density and planet formation is. \u2018Globulettes are very numerous,\u2019 Dr Thomas Haworth from the University of Cambridge told Science News. \u2018Even if only a small fraction can be made to collapse, they could make a significant contribution to the population of free-floating planets.\u2019 Rogue planets are of particular interest to astronomers because they represent objects that have likely failed to form into a star. Brown dwarfs, for example, are substellar objects that are not massive enough to sustain fusion, but are still more than 13 times the mass of Jupiter. The exact boundary between a giant planet and a low-mass brown dwarf is still being debated, but finding more rogue planets could shed light on this mystery. And this could indicate that there", "summary": "Ashley Yeager for Science News explained solo planets could be common . This is thanks to more regions of dust and gas than we thought .

He said it was his lawyer, who received a letter from the district, who broke the news. 'I returned to school and nobody spoke to me,' he told Fox 12. 'At 3.30 I just packed up my favorite plants and put a box of my stuff together that I was afraid would be thrown away and I left.' According to a complaint Bingham filed with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries Civil Rights Division, problems with the district began shortly after he was named the state's teacher of the year in October 2013. Bingham claims one such incident occurred after he was asked about his sexual orientation while giving a speech. The teacher said his department head left the event immediately and without saying anything to Bingham. He then claims she told him he could not speak about being gay or 'someone is going to shoot you in the head'. Bingham then alleged that the district placed him under a 'gag order' in April and told him he could not publicly speak or write unless his comments were approved. The teacher said he then filed a grievance with his union, which stated that he felt he was receiving 'disparate treatment' because of his sexual orientation. Bingham (pictured here with his partner on their wedding day) claims one department head told him he could not speak about being gay or 'someone is going to shoot you in the head' Bingham claims the following retaliation was swift. He said he was told that he now had to receive district approval before he could attend any teacher of the year events and was denied from appearing at two Gay Straight Student Alliance events, as well as working with a local LGBTQ community center. Bingham said management also began ordering him to pick up coffee and take out their garbage, 'menial tasks' he claims he was not asked to perform 'prior to the greater public awareness of my sexual orientation'. Relations between Bingham and the district worsened when school officials said the teacher would lose his job if he attended a gala for the National Education Association's Foundation, who were presenting him with an award, in Washington, D.C., he claims. District Superintendent Barbara Jorgensen allegedly told Bingham he would not be granted leave to attend any events related to teacher of the year, claiming he had too many school absences.

The definition of 'person' includes religious institutions, businesses and associations. 'What we had hoped for with the bill was a message of inclusion, inclusion of all religious beliefs,' Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma said. 'What instead has come out is a message of exclusion, and that was not the intent.' The efforts fell flat with Democrats, who called for a repeal, and even some Republicans.

It said many games 'incorporate good learning principles' and can 'hone problem-solving skills'. The Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said there was strong evidence that playing computer games had 'positive effects on learning' Girls are more likely to get higher marks at school because teachers like them more, an international report has found. Teachers consistently give better results to girls even when they perform similarly in international tests, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said. It suggests that teachers have a 'gender bias' towards girls because they are well behaved and listen in class. 'Girls' better marks may reflect the fact that they tend to be 'better students' than boys: they tend to do what is required and expected of them, thanks to better self-regulation skills, and they are more driven to excel in school,' the study says. But this may harm girls' future career prospects, the OECD suggests, because bosses reward people based on what they can do rather than their school grades. Students who play one-player video games between once a month and almost every day perform better in mathematics, reading, science and problem solving than students who hardly ever play games, the OECD said. But the evidence shows that playing computer games only helps children at school if they are not competing against other people over the internet. Boys are much more likely than girls to play computer games \u2013 but often get caught up in shoot 'em ups and other online competitions against other players, the study said. This means that playing on the computer at home helps girls more than boys. The report said: 'The gender gap in video gaming translates into a performance advantage for girls.' However, it also warns that the 'addictive nature of gaming' has its downsides. It said: 'Students who play video games excessively might not be able to focus on their work at school, may be less willing to spend time on school work at home, might develop sleep problems, and might be less perseverant if there are no immediate rewards for their efforts, like those offered in gaming.'

Gauthier was quick to respond, saying, 'I know I don't know you-but I can hate anyone I'd like. #Nobig #Dontbesad #MeanArtTeacher.' Phoenix thought the most offensive part was the hashtag accusing him of being a pothead because 'It's false,' he told FOX31. He said Gauthier was probably making a reference to his backpack, which has a logo of the energy drink CannaEnergy on it. The company's logo includes a hemp leaf, though there's no THC in the drink.

A mental health worker was branded 'merciless' and 'odious' by a judge after he admitted secretly filming female patients in hospital toilets and grooming a 13-year-old boy online. Christian Connor, 27, was 'compelled' by an addictive foot fetish to spy on victims at two hospitals in Manchester as well as to take secret pictures of women using the bathroom in a Salford house, a court heard. The mental health support worker was also found to have a cache of under-age and extreme pornography stored on his computer and attempted to persuade a teenage boy to send him pictures of his genitals. Judge Douglas Moore sentenced Connor to 16 months in prison and said: 'You behaved in an appalling way showing a complete abuse of trust, targeting young people and individuals that you knew.' He added: 'Words like 'manipulative', 'despicable', 'merciless' and 'odious' spring to mind.' Isleworth Crown Court heard Connor's crimes were uncovered when he was caught after befriending a 13-year-old boy from Hounslow, west London on the internet and persuading him to send images of his feet to an email address. The boy refused requests to send pictures of his genitals. Officers traced Connor and seized his computer, which contained the secret footage he had filmed in Prestwich Hospital and Salford Royal Hospital.

Our lifestyle decisions in Autumn are key to ensure a sickness-free flu season, according to Sheila Zhou, expert Scientist at USANA, leading producer of high quality supplements. 'Summer is officially over, and with the cooler months often associated with sneezing, coughing, and fevers, it's no surprise many of us aren't happy about it.

Just 20 minutes of sunshine a day is the secret ingredient to ensuring a healthy immune system. 'Vitamin D is the key to strengthening the immune system,' said Ms. Zhou.

A significant number of Australians are deficient in vitamin D. Did you know that just 20 minutes of sunlight each day significantly boosts the production of vitamin D in your body? Vitamin D not only helps protect your body in maintaining healthy immune function, but it also assists in general wellbeing. Unfortunately, with the days getting shorter and the daylight hours diminishing, winter can be a difficult time to get the necessary sunshine, so supplements such as USANA's Vitamin D can be beneficial. 2. Drink like a fish . Like any other time of year, staying hydrated during winter is extremely important. Even though you may not feel as thirsty or sweat as much during the cooler months, drinking plenty of water is still essential to help eliminate waste and prime your body against infections from pathogens. 3. Get Moving . Never underestimate the importance of regular activity. Exercising is of course a great way to get into shape, but it also increases the number of natural killer cells in our bodies that fight off infection. So even if you only have time to walk around the block, making the effort goes a long way in keeping you healthy and infection free as the weather cools down. 4. Get creative in the kitchen .

Clinton, 67, is the presumptive Democratic White House front-runner and would be 69 years and 86 days old if she were to become president after the 2016 elections. That would make her the second-oldest chief executive to move into the White House behind only Ronald Reagan, who took office 17 days before he turned 70. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO .

JUNIOR CLASS VICE PRESIDENT: In this 1964 Illinois high school yearbook photo, the future US first lady was likely 16 years old . When then-Senator Clinton ran for president in 2008, she was 61 . A 73-year-old Reagan famously quipped in a 1984 debate against Democrat Walter Mondale, then 56, that he wouldn't make age an issue in his re-election campaign. 'I will not exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience,' he said during a memorable debate. The new video, from a trio calling themselves the 'Calculating Clinton' project, shows Mrs. Clinton in 28 separate photos, each morphing into the next at 2-second intervals. One of the project's creators told Daily Mail Online that his partners include a social media executive and a professional videographer.

He said there will be more videos hitting the project's YouTube page if Mrs. Clinton takes the plunge and runs for president. There's no indication most Americans today believe age should be a disqualifying factor for a presidential run. One poll even indicates Clinton has hid hers well. A Pew Research Center survey released a year ago found that 'the public tends to underestimate Hillary Clinton\u2019s age,' with 60 being the median guess.

+{"article": "Scientists are listening in on earthquakes to create stunning marble-like simulations of Earth's interior. By recording seismic tremors, researchers are able to build a 3D picture of Earth's mantle - the layer between the crust and outer core. They do this by analysing the speed of the tremors, which travel rapidly through solid rock and slowly through molten magma. Computer simulations use the speed of seismic waves from earthquakes to reveal the existence of subterranean structures. In this view of the mantle below the Pacific Ocean, slower waves are shown in red and orange while faster waves are shown in green and blue . The Princeton team fed data from seismograms into a computer model, which then simulated each wave as it moves out from the epicenter. The resulting \"synthetic seismograms\" were compared to real seismograms, and the differences fed back into the model to improve it. The researchers do this repeatedly, comparing data with simulations and extracting differences. With each pass, they improve their model. In these images, slower waves are in red and orange, while faster vibrations are in green and blue. The 3D models were created by Princeton University's Professor Jeroen Tromp who is aiming to create a map of the entire mantle - down to a depth of 1,865 miles (3,000km) - by the end of the year. His team have been using the number-crunching capabilities of the Titan computer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, which can handle 20 quadrillion calculations per second. Professor Tromp has so far looked at seismic waves from 3,000 quakes of magnitude 5.5 and greater, which were recorded at thousands of seismographic stations worldwide. These stations make recordings, or seismograms, that detail the movement produced by seismic waves, which typically travel at speeds of several miles per second and last several minutes. 'We are specifically interested in the structure of mantle upwellings and plumes,' said Professor Tromp, 'but much of it will be investigating the images for unusual features.' The resulting map could reveal the precise locations of tectonic plates, which can cause earthquakes when they move against each other.

The maps could also reveal the locations of magma that, if it comes to the surface, causes volcanic activity, the researchers said. Previous research on this has only used three types of seismic waves: primary or compressional waves, secondary or shear waves, and surface waves. Professor Tromp technique uses both waves that travel from the quake epicentre to the detector as well as those that travel from the detector to the quake \u2013 described as adjoint waves.

Obese women have a 40 per cent higher risk of developing at least seven types of cancer in their lifetime, according to research. These weight-related cancers include bowel, post-menopausal breast, gallbladder, womb, kidney, pancreatic and oesophageal types. Statistics released by Cancer Research UK show that obese women have around a one in four risk of developing a cancer linked to weight in their lifetime. In a group of 1,000 obese women, 274 will be diagnosed with a bodyweight-linked cancer in their lifetime, compared with 194 women diagnosed in a group of 1,000 healthy weight women. Approximately a quarter of women are classified as obese and it is estimated that 18,000 women develop cancer as a result of being overweight or obese each year. There are different ways that obesity could increase the risk of cancer. One possibility is that it is linked to the production of hormones by fat cells \u2013 especially oestrogen which is thought to fuel the disease. Around 12 per cent of postmenopausal breast cancers \u2013 a total of 5,269 women \u2013 are blamed on obesity. It is the highest number of cases linked to obesity because the cancer is so common. Last year a study found women were at double the risk of getting the disease because of their weight compared with men. Researchers said 8.2 per cent of all cancers in women in the UK were caused by being fat. The study found 4.4 per cent of all cancers in men were due to obesity. Previous estimates claimed if Britons continue to pile on the pounds, it will lead to almost 4,000 extra cancer cases a year by 2026. Dr Julie Sharp of Cancer Research UK said: 'Losing weight isn't easy, but you don't have to join a gym and run miles every day or give up your favourite food. Just making small changes that you can maintain in the long term can have a real impact. To get started, try getting off the bus a stop earlier and cutting down on fatty and sugary foods.

William Lindauer, 31, was taken into custody hours after the early-morning blaze on Nelson Street, Arvada on Tuesday, police said. He made his first court appearance in Jefferson County court on Wednesday morning. Jail records show he is being held on investigation of first-degree arson, reckless endangerment, prohibited use of weapons, cruelty to animals and criminal mischief, ABC7 reported. His wife filed for divorce in October 2013 and it was completed on February 18, 2014, the channel reported. Property records list him at the address with Brianne Lindauer, 29. Neighbors said that three young children lived at the home but that they had not seen the woman or her children in weeks, ABC7 reported. The Arvada Fire Protection District said everyone in the home had been accounted for and there were no reports of injuries. After multiple calls from neighbors, the district responded to the home early on Tuesday and found it engulfed in flames. Blaze: Firefighters in Arvada, Colorado found the words 'My wife is a cheater' scrawled on a side of the home . Blaze: Firefighters were able to put out the flames but the home is significantly damaged by the fire . 'Upon their arrival, they were faced with a lot of fire that was coming from the front of the house as well as the back of the house,' spokesperson Deputy Fire Marshall Deanna Harrington told the Denver Post. Crews were initially unable to enter the home because the floor has been weakened by the 'very significant' damage, she said. They also found a name had been painted on the side of the house but it is not clear if he is connected to the fire. After the flames were brought under control, officials covered up the scrawled words with blue tarps. Destroyed: Later on Tuesday morning, firefighters covered the graffiti outside the house with blue tarps . Debris was also found in the street, including patio furniture, fire officials said. Police said that investigations showed the fire had been intentionally set. The Arvada Fire Protection District and Arvada Police Department are conducting a joint investigation into the blaze. Neighbors expressed their shock over the incident. 'It's a younger family,' Fred Holman told KDVR. 'They've lived here about five years, maybe a little longer. They're very nice people, very good neighbors. I would never think anything like this would happen.'", "summary": "William Lindauer was arrested for arson and other charges hours after the home in Arvada, Colorado was set on fire on Tuesday morning .

This shocking picture reveals the mangled wreck of a tandem bike which belonged to 'perfect couple' Ross, 34, and Clare Simons, 30, who were tragically killed by a banned driver . Mr and Mrs Simons were killed almost instantly when drug addict Nicholas Lovell's speeding Citroen Picasso ploughed into them . Lovell - who has 69 previous convictions - was later jailed for just ten-and-a-half years for causing their deaths. Now relatives of the Simons have released the dramatic picture of the aftermath of the crash as part of their campaign for tougher sentences for banned drivers. It shows how the car snapped the bike clean in half, with the front half getting lodged in the grille. Heroin addict Lovell, 38, had crashed into the couple as he tried to outrun police - with a 16 month old baby and 12-year-old in his vehicle. A court hearing in May 2013 heard that he then left them dying by the side of the road and while awaiting sentencing bragged to other inmates that he would get away 'with four years'. The couple's tandem bike, which they had been riding at the time of the crash, was snapped clean in half by the force of the crash . Jailing Lovell at Bristol Crown Court in May 2013, Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said: 'This is the worst example one could imagine of this sort of offence. 'You have a serious drug problem but your deep selfishness and disregard for others is breathtaking.' His partner Louise Cox, 35, was jailed for twelve months for trying to cover up the fact he was illegally driving her Citroen Picasso.

Lovell pleaded guilty to two counts of death by dangerous driving and was given the maximum possible sentence under current guidelines.

One potential change includes making sure sentences for multiple deaths are served one after the other, instead of at the same time. Mr Grayling said: 'I don't like the idea of people like this coming out half way through the sentence. 'It is shocking to walk here in a normal suburban street and see what can happen.

But the cancer returned and he required more treatment, as well as procedures to remodel his nose and face. A few months ago he developed a huge wound under his right eye, and doctors planned surgery to remove another tumour. Raymond Martin, 64, has been told the cancer that has destroyed his face is incurable and there is nothing more doctors can do. He is pictured before being diagnosed (left) and afterwards (right) Mr Martin developed a spot on his face in 2012, which began to spread.

Mr Martin's daughter Nicola Borthwick, 42, said: 'They've told us nothing more can be done now. 'We only hope that Marty's story raises awareness and prevents anyone else undergoing what he has had to suffer.' Mr Martin is now housebound at his home in Scotswood, Newcastle, where he is cared for by wife Alice, 63. His problems began when he noticed a spot on his cheek in 2012, but thought nothing about it. 'It all started with just a spot and it was nothing special so I didn't worry about it,' Mr Martin said. 'But the spot started to spread so I went to see a GP and it was first thought that it could be a rash or infection and I was given a course of antibiotics.' However, the antibiotics did not work and because his face got worse, he was sent to hospital for tests. Angiosarcoma is a relatively rare soft tissue tumour. It usually occurs in the head, neck, and especially in the scalp of elderly people. Its presentation varies from a small plaque to multifocal nodules. The treatment depends on the extent of the disease, but most cases are treated with wide excision - a surgical procedure to remove a small area of diseased or problematic tissue with a margin of normal tissue - and reconstruction. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are advocated in recurrent or extensive abnormalities in tissue. SOURCE: National Centre for Biotechnology Information .

'It's just mindboggling,' said Neale Postlethwaite, a farmer of 20 years from Gooroc, north of Melbourne. 'I can't believe it was actually able to stop it and then hurl it up backwards into its nest.' A Victorian farmer found this astonishing scene at the weekend, where a large red-back spider had managed to lift this baby eastern brown snake off the ground with its web and draw it up into its nest .

To his surprise, the snake was still alive at the time, with the farmer daring to place his finger nearby. 'I thought the snake was dead and went to put my finger there and the snake was still alive at the time,' Mr Postlethwaite said. The eastern brown snake is known for its potent venom, which can cause sudden death, neurotoxity, coagulation disturbances and nephrotoxicity, according to researchers.

At that point, he continued, the committee would consider calling her to testify under oath in an open, public hearing. SCROLL DOWN TO READ GOWDY'S DEMAND LETTER .

That's the finding of a new study that has shown how neurons respond differently to real words compared to so-called 'nonsense' words. During tests, brain scans revealed the new words appear as shapes rather than a group of letters in what researchers behind the study have dubbed a 'visual dictionary.' When we learn how to write, our brain doesn't learn individual letters, instead it is tuned to remember how the word appears as a whole, according to new research. Brain scans revealed neurons respond differently to real words compared to so-called 'nonsense' words in what's been dubbed 'visual dictionary' The study, carried out at Georgetown University Medical Centre, suggests brain is 'holistically tuned' to recognise complete words, according to the researchers. Lead author Dr Maximilian Riesenhuber from the Laboratory for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience said: 'We are not recognising words by quickly spelling them out or identifying parts of words, as some researchers have suggested. 'Instead, neurons in a small brain area remember how the whole word looks - using what could be called a visual dictionary.' The small area in the brain called the visual word form area is found in the left side of the visual cortex, opposite the fusiform face area on the right side, which remembers how faces look. The study published in the Journal of Neuroscience looked at the brain activity of 25 adults who had learn a set of 150 nonsense words. For the research the part of the brain associated with learning was examined using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), before and after participants learnt the new words. Using the fMRI-rapid adaptation, the team found the visual word form area changed as the participants learned the nonsense words. Before learning the words, neurons responded as though the training words were nonsense words. However over time, the neurons began to respond as though they were learning real words. The researchers said this shows the brain is 'holistically tuned' to recognise complete words, and may also provide insights into how to help people with reading disabilities.

But the first arrivals were not the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. Instead, beaming broadly and waving at the crowds outside the Lindo Wing were Michael and Carole Middleton - better known to George as 'Grandpa Michael' and 'Granny Carole'. Almost two years on and with the birth of a little brother or sister less than two months away, the Middletons have become a fixture in little George's life - with Prince Charles left to complain that they 'never let me see my grandson'. Scroll down for video . March of the Middletons: Prince Charles is reportedly upset by what he calls 'the March of the Middletons' In this case, the heir to the throne may well have a point. Visits to Highgrove, Charles' Gloucestershire home, have been few and far between. By contrast, William and Kate regularly take their son to the Berkshire village of Bucklebury where the Middletons live in a \u00a34.5m Georgian pile ringed by neat gardens and surrounded by open countryside. Indeed, it was to Bucklebury that the couple decamped a day after leaving the Lindo Wing, with Prince George's first photo shoot a month later taking place on the lawn and overseen by proud grandfather Michael. The intimate photos, which show George cradled in the arms of his smiling mother, were, with hindsight, a sign of things to come. Carole, who to her credit provided a happy and secure childhood for her three children, was always determined to be a hands-on grandmother - and so it has proved.

Sign of things to come: His first official photo was taken on the lawn of the Middletons' Bucklebury home . But the Middleton matriarch's determination to be involved in her grandson's life hasn't always gone down well with the rest of the family. 'Carole has rather taken over, dictating when George naps, when and what he eats,' confided a source to the Daily Mail's Sebastian Shakespeare. 'All in all, behaving like she\u2019s Queen Carole.' So how much involvement does Carole have in George's life? The answer is plenty. From cosy family outings to dispensing parenting advice to her eldest child, there are few areas of George's life in which the Middletons aren't involved. Just a few weeks ago, Carole enjoyed an unbroken fortnight of quality time with her grandson in Mustique, where the clan had gathered to celebrate her 60th birthday. Although nanny Maria Theresa Borallo was there to deal with most of the childcare, Carole, who has made no secret of wanting to enjoy a close relationship with her grandson, was spotted smiling happily as she walked hand-in-hand with a toddling George.

The dominant nine-time champion Irish trainer has become used to swatting aside the opposition in his homeland and bruising the home defence with his increasingly potent Festival raids. But the feat of the Ruby Walsh-ridden 4-5 favourite Faugheen leading home stablemates Arctic Fire and dual champion Hurricane Fly will take some surpassing even for a man who has won a Grand National. The nearest any other trainer has come to matching what this modern-day racing William the Conqueror achieved was Irish colleague Aidan O\u2019Brien, who sent out Istabraq and Theatreworld to be first and second in both the 1998 and 1999 Champion Hurdles. A jubilant Walsh enters the winners enclosure on board the Champions Hurdle winner Faugheen . It is the most outstanding feat since Michael Dickinson trained the first five in the 1983 Gold Cup. Mullins said: \u2018A one-two-three is a dream. On paper it is my best training feat, certainly. To get three horses in that condition is good for anyone but then to get the luck in running is vital.\u2019 And it is even more remarkable given what else Mullins managed on the first day of the Festival with three other winners \u2014 Douvan (2-1 favourite) beating stablemate Shaneshill in the Supreme Novices\u2019 Hurdle, Un De Sceaux (4-6) in the Arkle Challenge Trophy and Paul Townend-ridden Glens Melody (6-1) in the OLBG Mares\u2019 Hurdle. Punters jumping on the Mullins bandwagon cost the bookmaking industry an estimated \u00a310million as they linked them in accumulator bets. But it could have been worse. Walsh-ridden Annie Power, 1-2 favourite and the horse Mullins had regarded as his certainty of the day, was clear at the last in the Mares\u2019 Hurdle when taking a crashing fall. Walsh celebrates on Faugheen after the seven-yeatr-old won the Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy . Mullins said: \u2018Annie Power got a horrible fall and she will have a sore neck and shoulder in the morning but she will be OK. It\u2019s rare to have four runners on a day like this, let alone four winners. I keep saying to myself, \u201cenjoy it while it lasts\u201d. \u2018You couldn\u2019t write a script like that, but I just knew that all the horses were doing everything right. It was going scarily well and I thought coming here it was either going to be a great success or a blow-out.\u2019 The latter does not happen very often for Mullins. The man who has now trained 37 Festival winners and has been top trainer at the meeting for three of the last four years might as well pop the trophy in his suitcase for the flight home. Faugheen was imperious as he led home a Willie Mullins-trained one-two-three at the Cheltenham Festival .

Durst, who is worth an estimated $100 million, has been suspected in the disappearance of his first wife and he won an acquittal on a murder charge in Texas. In a documentary about Durst's troubled life, he mumbled about how he 'killed them all,' providing a dramatic kick to the end of the series. But a law enforcement official said his arrest on the murder charge was based on words he wrote. It was revealed on Tuesday that the final episode of HBO's six-part series, The Jinx, drew more than a million viewers on Sunday evening - more than double the audience from the week before. Analysis linking a letter Durst wrote to his friend Susan Berman a year before her killing with one he said 'only the killer could have written' to point police to her body was the key new evidence in the long-dormant investigation into the 2000 killing, the official not authorized to speak publicly told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Durst, 71, was charged Monday in Los Angeles with first-degree murder in the shooting of Berman, the daughter of a prominent Las Vegas mobster. He could face the death penalty under special circumstances that allege he ambushed her and murdered a witness to a crime. He waived extradition in New Orleans, but authorities there charged him late Monday with being a felon in possession of a gun because he had a revolver when he was arrested there Saturday.

Now the town of Hinkley, California - a Mojave Desert community famous for being 'saved' by Erin Brockovich and then immortalized in Steven Soderberg's Oscar-winning film - has been all-but deserted. After the movie was released in 2000, PG&E - who paid out $333 million in an out-of-court settlement - never halted its crusade to obtain land rights for most of the town, and last year stopped delivering bottled water to the few locals that remained, after tests in the area showed the chromium levels were below the maximum.

A new survey has revealed that the average pay rate for a sitter has increased more than 28 per cent in just five years - rising by more than a dollar to $13.44 since just 2013. By contrast, babysitters in 2009 made an average $10.50 an hour. Average babysitter wages have increased by 28 per cent in the last 5 years, as the graphic by Care.com reveals . But the cost for care has risen much higher than a couple of dollars for certain cities. The Care.com survey, which had more than one thousand respondents, revealed that babysitters are most expensive in San Francisco, where they make an average of $16.65 per hour. That's five dollars more than the city's minimum wage. Boston and Silicon Valley hub San Jose are not far behind, with rates clocking in at $15.37 and $15.63, respectively. New York City, unsurprisingly, still made it in the top five with a $15.09 rate. Costs significantly drop further from the coast. Babysitters make, on average, $11.31 an hour in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the cheapest of the rates. Cities in South Carolina, Utah and Ohio round out the top five least-expensive babysitter wages with costs in the $11 rage - with Rochester, New York, also making a surprise appearance. Although one in four parents said they believe they're paying their babysitters too much, the survey found they also have no problem upping the costs. Eighty-seven per cent of parents give their sitters an annual raise, and 26 per cent will tip them. And one in 10 parents is willing to throw in an extra $5 an hour if they booked their caregiver on short notice. Only three per cent of families said they choose their sitter based on expected wages. Forty-nine per cent of families select a sitter loved by their children. A new survey by Care.com has revealed that the average pay rate for a sitter has increased more than 28 per cent in just five years - rising by more than a dollar to $13.44 since just 2013 .

+{"article": "Billions of stars in our galaxy have between one and three planets which could potentially support life. Astronomers came to the conclusion after calculating the chances of planets orbiting in the 'Goldilocks zone'. This is the belt around a star where temperatures are ideal for liquid water to pool on a planet's surface, and for alien life to exist. The illustration shows the habitable zone for different types of stars. The green area is the habitable zone (HZ), where liquid water can exist on a planet\u2019s surface. The red area is too hot for liquid water on the planetary surface and the blue area is too cold for liquid water on the planetary surface . 'According to the statistics and the indications we have, a good share of the planets in the habitable zone will be solid planets where there might be liquid water and where life could exist,' said Steffen Kjaer Jacobsen, from the University of Copenhagen. The findings are based on data from the American space agency Nasa's Kepler space telescope, which has confirmed the existence of around 1,000 planets orbiting stars in the Milky Way. It has also identified an estimated 3,000 other candidate worlds. Many of the stars have solar systems of two to six planets, but scientists believe there could be more that remain undiscovered by Kepler, which is best suited to finding large planets in relatively close orbits. To estimate the positions of the 'hidden' planets, the researchers updated a 250-year-old mathematical concept called the Titius-Bode law. Pictured are exoplanetary systems where the previously known planets are marked with blue dots, while the red dots show the planets predicted by the Titius-Bode law on the composition of planetary systems. 124 planetary systems in the survey \u2013 based on data from the Kepler satellite, fit with this formula . The law, which inferred the existence of Uranus before it was seen, states that there is a certain ratio between the orbital periods of planets in a solar system. The Titius-Bode law was formulated around 1770 and correctly calculated the position of Uranus before it was even discovered. The law states that there is a certain ratio between the orbital periods of planets in a solar system. So the ratio between the orbital period of the first and second planet is the same as the ratio between the second and the third planet and so on. This means if you know how long it takes for some of the planets to orbit around a star, you can calculate how long it takes for the other planets to orbit and can calculate their position in the planetary system. You can also calculate if a planet is 'missing' in the sequence. Because of this, if you know how long it takes some planets to circle a star, you can work out the time taken for other planets to orbit and fix their positions in the planetary system. You can also calculate if a planet is missing in the sequence. 'We decided to use this method to calculate the potential planetary", "summary": "Astronomers used an improved version of a 250-year old equation .

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican, walks off the floor after passage of right-to-work on Friday.

Supporters argued it would make Wisconsin more attractive to businesses looking to move in or expand. But opponents said the goal is to destroy unions, which tend to vote Democrat, and a right-to-work law would depress wage and create more dangerous workplaces, in turn hurting the economy. Twenty-four other states have right-to-work laws. Michigan and Indiana were the two most recent states to enact it, both in 2012. The protests from unions in Wisconsin were not nearly as large as they were four years ago when Walker and Republicans in the state legislature pushed through reforms to public sector unions, growing only as large as about 3,000 people compared with 100,000 in 2011. And only a handful of protesters were on hand for Friday's deliberations. Two people were arrested Thursday for refusing to stop screaming profanities, a spokesman for Walker's administration said.

In a later post he said the bird was 'dancing' and 'acting crazy' during their 10-mile journey down the I-95 highway, which ended at Lake Worth. Wildlife experts were horrified at the video, and pointed out that possessing an owl in any capacity is a breach of federal wildlife laws. David Hitzig of the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter, Florida, said the owl looked as if it was dazed in the video. Speaking to the WPTV local news station, he said: 'To me the concern is: where is the owl now, what's happened to the owl, did anybody cause harm to the owl?'

They say a nutrient in garlic offers the brain protection against ageing and disease. It could even prevent age-related neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Scroll down for video . Missouri researchers say a nutrient in garlic offers the brain protection against ageing and disease - and could even prevent use from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The University of Missouri researchers found a carbohydrate in the superfood is key. 'Garlic is one of the most widely consumed dietary supplements,' said Zezong Gu, associate professor of pathology and anatomical sciences at the MU School of Medicine and lead author of the study. 'Most people think of it as a 'superfood,' because garlic's sulfur-containing compounds are known as an excellent source of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection. A thousand year-old potion made out of onions, garlic, wine and bile from a cow's stomach can kill hospital superbugs, scientists claim. The potent 10th century brew - used by Anglo Saxons to treat a stye (an abscess on the eyelid) destroyed 90 per cent of the bacteria on scraps of skin taken from mice with MRSA. Interestingly, the ingredients had little effect unless they were all brought together into the concoction, the study by Nottingham University researchers found. 'Scientists are still discovering different ways garlic benefits the human body,' he said. 'Our research focused on a carbohydrate derivative of garlic known as FruArg and the role this nutrient plays in protective responses.' Gu's team looked at the nutrient's ability to inhibit \u2015 and even possibly reverse \u2015 brain cell damage caused by environmental stress. Environmental stress could include the aging process, smoking, pollution, traumatic brain injury or excessive alcohol consumption. 'Microglia are immune cells in the brain and spinal cord that are the first and main line of defense in the central nervous system,' Gu said. 'Unlike other mature brain cells that seldom regenerate themselves, microglial cells respond to inflammation and environmental stresses by multiplying. 'By massing themselves and migrating toward an injury site, they are able to respond to inflammation and protect other brain cells from destruction.' However, increasing the number of microglial cells won't provide age-defying protection for the brain, Gu said. In fact, it can do more harm than good. 'Although important to brain cell health, microglial cells also produce nitric oxide in reaction to their function as protectors,' Gu said. 'If we simply increased the number of microglial cells, we also would increase the amount of nitric oxide in the brain. 'Excessive production of nitric oxide leads to brain cell damage and promotes neurodegenerative diseases such as cerebral ischemia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. However, the nutrient FruArg may provide an answer to this reactive dilemma. Gu's team looked at the nutrient's ability to inhibit \u2015 and even possibly reverse \u2015 brain cell damage caused by environmental stress. By creating a cell model of neurological stress and monitoring microglial cell function, Gu's team was able to study FruArg's contribution to brain health.", "summary": "Nutrient in garlic offers the brain protection against ageing and disease .

Castleford prop Andy Lynch took to the field for his 450th career appearance against his former club. Gale's converted effort gave the Tigers a deserved lead but Hull responded positively and went into the break with just a two-point deficit after Tom Lineham marked his 50th outing for the club with his fifth try of 2015. Lynch took centre stage at the start of the second period as his break laid the platform for Gale to cross for his second and stretch Castleford's lead. But Hull, whose coach Lee Radford missed the trip through illness, refused to lie down and hit the front as Lineham scored twice to complete his hat-trick. Opposite number Justin Carney gained some revenge when he grounded Lineham with a fierce hand-off on his way to the line for his ninth try of the campaign. James Clare eased Castleford's nerves after benefiting from Fetuli Talanoa's shocking error and they were celebrating their fourth successive win over Hull at full-time. The Tigers went close twice in the opening 10 minutes, with Jake Webster hauled down inches short of the tryline by Jordan Rankin and Clare dropping the ball attempting a spectacular finish in the corner. Castleford continued to do most of the running and finally broke Hull's resistance in the 24th minute as Gale showed a good turn of pace to score to the right of the posts after taking Grant Millington's brilliant offload 40 metres out. Hull came storming back and, just after former Tigers half-back Marc Sneyd had been denied by a last-ditch tackle by Carney, crossed for their first try of the evening through Lineham. The ball moved through the hands from left to right before Steve Michaels fed the winger to score in the corner. Sneyd missed the conversion from the right touchline so Castleford went into half-time 6-4 to the good. The hosts extended that lead within 60 seconds of the restart after Millington kept his composure to find Gale close to the line following a storming run by fellow prop Lynch. Castleford were again unable to build momentum as Lineham crossed to cut the home side's advantage to four points. Talanoa was denied by a good tackle by Clare but Lineham made no mistake in the other corner after collecting Danny Houghton's cut-out pass from dummy half.

Violent gangster Mark Duggan \u2013 whose death sparked the 2011 riots \u2013 was holding a gun when a police marksman opened fire, a report concluded yesterday. An exhaustive three-and-a-half year investigation by the police watchdog completely exonerated the firearms officer who shot Duggan of any wrongdoing. The 500-page report concluded that the marksman, known only as V53, used \u2018reasonable and proportionate force\u2019 and said that there is no \u2018reliable evidence\u2019 to undermine his account. And it backed V53\u2019s version of events: that he shot Duggan because he saw a gun and thought the gangster was about to open fire. Last year an inquest ruled that Duggan was lawfully killed \u2013 but the jury concluded that he had dropped the gun some time before he was shot. However, yesterday\u2019s report by the Independent Police Complaints Commission said the gangster was holding the gun and was \u2018in the process of throwing it to his right as he was shot\u2019. The IPCC said it based its conclusions on the evidence from the inquest and extra evidence which it obtained later. In the aftermath of Duggan\u2019s death, supposed witnesses claimed they saw police marksmen shoot him after he had already given himself up. One claimed she saw police officers plant a gun at the scene minutes after the shooting. All of these accounts were rejected by the IPCC because the accounts were riddled with inconsistencies. The investigation also rejected claims made by Duggan\u2019s mother Pamela and girlfriend Precious Douaihy that officers tampered with evidence and lied in their witness statements. Before his death, Duggan, 29, was considered to be one of Britain\u2019s most violent gangsters who was linked to ten shootings and two murders. Aftermath: Duggan's body lies in the street moments after he was killed. A report today ruled that he had run from the minicab holding the gun wrapped in a sock, at which point officers opened fire . He was placed under surveillance in August 2011 after officers learnt he was about to pick up a gun from Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, an associate, in Leyton, east London.

Claudia Martins, 33, gave birth alone in the bath at her sister's flat in Knowle, Bristol, having allegedly kept the pregnancy a secret. She is on trial at Bristol Crown Court (pictured) accused of murdering the baby girl . Paramedics were called to the property after friends and family members found 'a lot of blood' in the bath and Martins was taken to hospital. The court heard Martins repeatedly told hospital staff she had not given birth or been pregnant. During her hospital stay, Martins' sister noticed a smell coming from the suitcase and called police after she opened it and saw blood. Police found the body of a newborn baby inside a small black suitcase. Martins, who was described as having an extremely low IQ, was arrested and admitted that 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'. Martins, who denies a single charge of murder on September 12 last year, wept during the opening of her trial at Bristol Crown Court today. Adam Vaitilingam QC, prosecuting, said two police officers were called to the flat Martins shared with her sister on September 15 last year. 'They were shown to the bathroom of the flat, where they saw and opened a suitcase,' he said. 'Inside, wrapped in towels and in a black plastic bag, they found the body of a newborn baby girl. Martins was rushed to Bristol Royal Infirmary (pictured) but repeatedly told hospital staff she had not given birth or been pregnant - she was later arrested after her sister discovered the baby's body in a suitcase . 'The baby had been born three days earlier to the defendant, Claudia Martins. 'It is the prosecution's case that she killed the baby as soon as it was born and that she hid the body in the suitcase. 'It is the defence case that she never knew she was pregnant and when she gave birth it was stillborn and that she hid it in the suitcase out of a mixture of shock and panic.' The jury heard Martins is originally from Mozambique but moved to Portugal before settling in Bristol in 2011. She lived in a two-bedroom flat with her sister, Vilma Marshall, Ms Marshall's partner, and five children, which was 'difficult and pressurised', Mr Vaitilingam said.

Mr Sobkow said efforts were under way to bring back some of the millions of young Poles who left for Britain and after Poland joined the EU in 2004.

RMS Mauretania held the record for the fastest Transatlantic voyage for 22 years until 1929, making it the world's fastest ship for almost a quarter of a century. She was built in 1906 after the cruise-liner company Cunard won a \u00a32million loan from the Government to construct two vessels. RMS Mauretania made her maiden voyage the following year, setting off from Liverpool for New York on November 16, 1907.

In 1909, just two years after its maiden voyage, RMS Mauretania obtained the Blue Riband title for the fastest eastbound and westbound journeys across the Atlantic. It held the title for 22 years until 1929 when it was surpassed by the German liner Bremen. As part of Cunard's original deal with the Government, the ship was made available to the Armed Forces during times of national emergency. So on August 4 1914 when Britain declared war on Germany, it was redirected from its path to New York and docked at Halifax to be named an armed cruise liner. The following week however the Mauretania and the Lusitania, its sister ship, were relieved of Government duties. She was docked at Liverpool with dwindling demand for transatlantic passages during the war until May 2015 when the Lusitania was sunk by Nazi torpedoes. Returned to service, the Mauretania was used to transport troops during the Gallipoli Campaign before being turned into a hospital ship. Later she was used to transport Canadian troops to France before being laid up on the Clyde until 1918. She resumed commercial passages in 1919, sailing from Southampton to New York via Cherbourg and in 1922 broke its pre-war transatlantic record for the fastest crossing, her average speed above 26 knots. In 1934 she made her final passenger voyage before being laid up in Glasgow following the merger of Cunard and White Star Lines.

The Tourist Police in the Thai resort town of Phuket City announced during a press conference Wednesday that Kelly Lynn Miller, 36, will be deported back to the US, where she had been sentenced to prison in the 2004 death of 57-year-old Florida truck driver Donald Goodwin.

'I can't let you in without a badge,' the guard adds. A frustrated Corden then starts arguing with the man, saying he is the host of the chat show and points to a huge poster of his face on the side of the building. The guard looks around, but he says: 'I don't see the resemblance'. 'What do you mean there is no resemblance?' Corden replies. 'It looks exactly the same as me. Do you know why? Because it is me' The employee then realizes who he is talking to, but insists Corden still needs a badge to get in.

The Chancellor was also cheered by a YouGov poll showing Wednesday's Budget has gone down well with voters. The survey gave the Tories a two-point lead over Labour \u2013 reversing a one-point Labour lead in a similar poll carried out just before the Budget.

The family of a 13-year-old girl who was declared brain-dead after her sleep apnea operation went awry filed a medical malpractice lawsuit on Tuesday detailing the emotional, chaotic hospital drama that included a court battle over ending life support. Jahi McMath's family is seeking unspecified damages from UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland in the case filed in Alameda County Superior Court. They claim the hospital botched Jahi's operation on December 9, 2013; didn't respond properly and promptly to dramatic signs of post-operative distress; and badgered the family to end life support and donate Jahi's organs, even though her heart kept beating. Jahi was declared brain-dead on December 12, 2013, after three different medical experts agreed the teen showed no brain activity. During a court fight, the hospital kept Jahi on life support long enough for the family to move her to an undisclosed facility in New Jersey, which allows families to reject a declaration of brain death on religious grounds and lets patients remain connected to ventilators. She remains at the facility. The hospital declined to comment on the lawsuit. 'Our hearts go out to the McMath family,' hospital spokeswoman Melinda Krigel said. 'It is our policy not to comment on pending litigation.' The lawsuit alleges that the hospital's first misstep was recommending a 'complex and risky' operation to cure Jahi's sleep apnea rather than first trying a safer treatment. Then, during the surgery, a doctor noted that Jahi had a condition that could result in post-operative bleeding but failed to notify nurses and others responsible for her care after surgery, the suit states. Jahi's parents say they were given conflicting advice shortly after surgery when they reported their daughter was coughing up blood.

She remains at the facility. One nurse gave them a suction device to clear blood from Jahi's mouth, and another nurse told the parents not to suction the blood, according to the lawsuit. Nurses and doctors are accused of failing to react quickly enough to the bleeding, which the lawsuit says led to Jahi going into cardiac arrest and suffering brain death. The family alleges that hospital administrators failed to explain what happened to Jahi, and that that Dr. David Duran, the hospital's pediatric chief, slammed his fist on a table and said, ''what is it that you don't understand?

Incredible before (left) and after (right) images reveal a fresh lunar scar created by the biggest ever explosion recorded on the moon surface. Slide the middle bar to see how the moon's surface changed after impact . When a meteoroid strikes the moon, a large portion of the impact energy goes into heat and excavating a crater. However, part of it also goes into generating visible light, which results in a brilliant flash at the point of impact. The images reveal intricate details of the resulting impact crater and could help scientists learn more about how craters form. The brightest flash occurred on March 17, 2013 with coordinates 20.6\u00b0N, 336.1\u00b0E. The team predicted the crater's size based on the energy, and then eagerly awaited Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera;s next pass over the location to confirm their calculations.

The crater itself is small, measuring 61.7ft (18.8 metres) in diameter, but its influence is large; debris excavated by the sudden release of energy flew for hundreds of metres. More than 200 related surface changes up to 19 miles (30km) away were noted.

'I've got two degrees myself and though they haven't done me a bit of good in the workplace I had fun getting them and the one I got from the OU while I was at home bringing up the kids kept me sane and my brain ticking over when I was immersed in child rearing. 'My jobs have always been low pay and hands on practical, mostly retail management and estate agency. Tom and Rowan . 'I figured with Tom if the worst came to the worst the language would always come in useful and he could get a job as an air steward! (Yes, I had a brief spell as an air hostess myself) 'We opened South Street on an absolute shoe string and as Tom was home for Easter from Exeter I employed him to help scrub floors, scrape walls, paint, paper and clean. 'It was hard, boring, work and Tom was not the best employee, he tended to get bored easily or give up if things got difficult. 'I was paying him a wage so technically he should have done as he was told but if it's your kid it's not always as easy as all that: you have to maintain the relationship no matter what and you can't sack them! 'A year on and the business was going well, having worked in retail management I was used to handling staff but I was surprised to find that staffing was turning into my biggest headache. 'Maybe I'm naive and too willing to trust but I found myself being ripped off, cheated and lied to. 'I was paying above minimum wage, providing paid sickness and holidays, treating my staff with consideration and respect. 'But I was discovering that they were opening late and closing early when I wasn't there, claiming for hours they hadn't worked, taking days off sick when they were perfectly well and sitting around on their phones or the work laptop when I was paying them to work.

Referee Bobby Madden made two huge calls against Dundee United when, first of all, he denied Ryan Dow a first-half penalty following a nudge in the back by Parkhead skipper Scott Brown. The whistler then instantly dismissed Tannadice captain Sean Dillon for a dangerous tackle on Emilio Izaguirre in 56 minutes, thus ending any hopes of a United comeback.

It was his momentum and pace, I don\u2019t think he has gone in to cause damage. But he\u2019s given the ref a decision to make and we know what happened.\u2019 United midfielder John Rankin, meanwhile, accused Celtic of piling pressure on to Madden ahead of Sunday\u2019s showpiece occasion. Following the stormy Scottish Cup draw at Tannadice, Celtic manager Ronny Deila had accused United youngster Aidan Connolly of a \u2018blatant\u2019 dive to win a spot-kick. That was then repeated by Brown, who also pointed the finger at Nadir Ciftci over a kick that struck him on the head.

Now scientists have proved home-grown produce is not just tastier but healthier too. A study, carried out by experts at Kew Gardens, found that tomatoes are sweeter and richer in health-improving nutrients than those that are mass-produced. Flavoursome: A Kew Gardens study found that home-grown tomatoes are sweeter and richer in health-improving nutrients than those that are mass-produced . The concentration of natural sugars, anti-oxidants and nutrient rich compounds called phenols peaked in the home-grown tomatoes, the study for a BBC show revealed. Professor Monique Simmonds, deputy director of science at Kew, claimed mass-market tomatoes are often bred for their appearance rather than quality, that herbicides are used and that they are harvested early and artificially ripened to improve shelf life. She said all these things can damage the flavour and the nutrient level in the fruit. 'Supermarkets are often looking for tomatoes that are a particular size because that's how the public want it,' she said. 'Some of these tomatoes are smaller and they don't grow in a uniform size, which makes them difficult for supermarkets to sell. It's about educating the public. People don't mind if something grown in their garden is not beautifully round but would they buy it from a supermarket?' One example is the Gardener's Delight cherry tomato, which was found to contain three times as much sugar as the shop-bought variety, giving it a far sweeter taste. While this experiment was with tomatoes, Professor Simmonds said results would be similar in other fruits and vegetables.

Badawi was arrested in 2012 for offences including insulting Islam, cyber crime and disobeying his father (a crime in Saudi Arabia). Last year, the father-of-three was sentenced to 10 years in jail, a fine of 1 million riyals ($266,000). His punishment also meant he would be flogged 50 times every Friday for 20 weeks - but after the first beating in January this year, these have been postponed each week on medical grounds. Scroll down for video . Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes for 'insulting Islam', has spoken for the first time from jail about his first flogging in January . His conviction sparked an international outcry and German weekly Der Spiegel reported Badawi's first remarks since being given the sentence today. Badawi recalled how he received the first round of lashes in Jeddah on January while surrounded by a cheering crowd that chanted 'Allahu akbar' (God is the greatest), Der Spiegel reported. In a letter which the magazine said was his first since being jailed, Badawi said: 'All this cruel suffering happened to me only because I expressed my opinion.' His wife Ensaf Haidar said her husband is in 'a poor condition', adding he had suffered from high blood pressure and was mentally very stressed. Badawi said a cheering crowd chanted 'Allahu akbar' during his first flogging session. Pictured: leaked video footage taken on a mobile phone showed the beating in January . Badawi's remarks form the preface of a book entitled '1,000 Lashes: Why I Say What I Think', which is due to be published in Germany on April 1. Der Spiegel said the German government had warned against the book's publication because it could put the blogger's life at risk, though Berlin and the publisher have denied this. A German diplomat told Reuters that Badawi was free to publish in Germany whatever he liked, but added: 'The ministry cannot predict the consequences of such a publication for him.' Publisher Siv Bublitz from Ullstein Buchverlage said that the company had 'confidential contacts' with the German government on the Badawi book project. 'At no time have we felt that the exchange was an attempt by the foreign ministry to prevent our publication or to complicate it,' he said on Friday.

Suarez was fouled on the left, Messi whipped a glorious ball into the area and Mathieu flicked it past Iker Casillas to give Luis Enrique's side the lead.

France's National Cancer Institute said there was a 'clearly established link' between a specific type of implant and the disease. Experts said they have identified 18 cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma since 2011, linked to silicone breast implants. Given the rarity of cases, the Institute said there is no need to recommend the removal of the implants. Breast implants in France will come with a health warning after 18 women were found to have a rare form of cancer after having an augmentation operation . 'This complication presents very infrequently,' the body said. France's health minister immediately sought to calm fears haunted by a similar scare in 2011. French firm PIP sparked a global health scare in 2011, when plastic surgeons began reporting an unusual number of ruptures in their products. The PIP implants were banned and the company eventually liquidated. 'We do not recommend that women carrying these implants have them removed,' Health Minister Marisol Touraine said. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma - a blood cancer. It is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which forms part of the body's immune system. The rare disease is more common in children and young adults. It develops when abnormal white blood cells divide in an uncontrolled way. The cancerous white blood cells then travel to parts of the body, commonly the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow and blood and form a tumour. Symptoms of the disease include: . The disease makes up around three per cent of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas in adults and 10 to 30 per cent in children. It grows quickly and usually needs immediate treatment with chemotherapy. Some patients may also need radiotherapy or stem cell transplants. Source: Macmillan Cancer Support and Lymphoma Research Foundation . She urged women not to get 'carried away by excessive worry', about the implants. 'Our vigilance is absolute,' she said. Ms Touraine said no particular brand of implant was in question. However the Parisien Daily reported that 14 of the 18 cases of the rare cancer were found in women with breast implants made by US pharmaceutical company Allergan. Allergan said in a statement: 'The security of patients is our first priority.' It added the company is collaborating closely with the health authorities and the drug agency ANSM. The company added that all women aged 25 or over should have an annual health check. The head of the National Cancer Institute, Agnes Buzyn, said the increased detection rate could also be attributed to better screening. According to Francois Hebert, deputy head of the ANSM drugs agency, around 400,000 women in France have had breast implants. Of those 80 per cent had the procedure for cosmetic reasons, while 20 per cent had the operation following breast cancer.

The blaze broke out at the oceanfront East Hampton Village mansion in the early afternoon, with fire crews spending hours putting out the flames, which were fanned by strong winds. While the cause of the fire remains unclear, crews began knocking what was left of the house down at 5pm, and by Thursday morning there was nothing but the burnt out shell of the former estate. The home, according to Page Six, is owned by Morton and his family, but, fortunately no one was home at the time. The property was last appraised in 2008 for $21.5 million. Scroll down for video .

A PR cameraman who lured glamour models into making secret 'sex tapes' by pretending he worked for a lads' mag has been jailed for three-and-half years. Naushad Faruk, also known as Jonny Na$h, sent a revenge porn-style clip to one of the women after convincing her to strip for a fake spread in men's magazine Loaded. The 33-year-old, who featured in BBC Three reality show Boom Town as a self-styled 'ladies' man,' taped women performing sex acts on him with a secret camera hidden in his watch. On his Twitter page, poser Faruk has posted pictures of himself attending the film premieres of Sylvester Stallone action flick 'The Expendables 3' and 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit', starring Chris Pine. After his first court appearance, Faruk tweeted two of the victims' real names and working names and linked them to a national newspaper article, thus breaching their legal right to anonymity. He also called the workplace of a prostitute he secretly filmed and pretended to be a national newspaper reporter, making numerous threats including exposing the case in the media and creating a 'media storm.' During his trial at Blackfriars Crown Court, Faruk, of Goldfinch Crescent, Bracknell, Berkshire, was removed from court seven times for being disruptive and heckling the main victim and other witnesses. Faruk, who described himself as 'the master of seduction' on his BBC Three show, was convicted of three counts of voyeurism and two charges of perverting the course of justice. As well as being jailed, he was slapped with a 12-year restraining order preventing him from going near the victims. During his trial at Blackfriars Crown Court, Faruk was removed from the courtroom seven times for being disruptive and heckling the main victim and other witnesses . Detective Constable Rob Jones said: 'This case shows that if someone threatens to release 'revenge porn' into the public domain they will be dealt with robustly, not only by the police but also by the courts, as is demonstrated by this sentence. 'The women involved have been extremely traumatised and felt extreme fear throughout, especially the sex worker who was \"petrified\" when Faruk called her place of work. 'Because of this she wanted to withdraw from the trial but I was able to reassure her that we would look after her, as we do with all vulnerable victims and witnesses.' After secretly filming the Camden-based glamour model engaging in sexual activity with him, Faruk sent her a message on social media in March 2014 with the video edited to music showing her professional name on the screen. The message ended with 'TBC' and a threat saying: 'What happens next is up to you.' The woman reported the message to police and, after an investigation, arrested Faruk.

+{"article": "Poorer families are more likely to eat chicken nuggets and chips for dinner, while wealthier households consume more salad and rice, new research has revealed. The latest figures from Roy Morgan show that socioeconomic status and family income have a significant impact on foods consumed. At the top end of the scale, children eat more salad and rice, but as income decreases more chips, wedges, chicken nuggets and noodles are consumed. New research shows children from lower income families are more frequently consuming chips than they are salads . In the wealthiest households, 62 per cent of kids aged 6-13 will eat rice every week, while 55 per cent will also have salad at some stage. Less than half will eat hot chips, fries, or wedges, while just over a third will consume noodles. Around a quarter of these children will eat chicken nuggets during an average week. However at the other end of the spectrum childrens' eating habits change quite dramatically. With each successive drop in socioeconomic status, children in the household are less likely to eat rice or salad, and more likely to eat noodles or chicken nuggets. Kids from wealthier families will see more salad on the table, with 55 per cent consuming the greens in an average week . At the lower end of the scale 60 per cent of children will consume chips, wedges or fries, but only 44 per cent will eat a salad during an average week. Noodles are on the menu for 55 per cent of these kids, chicken nuggets are eaten by 40 per cent, and just half of these children will see rice on their table. 'While the food that parents buy and give to their children is heavily influenced by the affordability of groceries, there may be many other issues at play such as the number of children (and parents) in the household, working hours, accessibility of fresh produce in the local area, as well as underlying attitudes and tastes,' Michele Levine, CEO, Roy Morgan Research said. The presence of rice at mealtimes has increased, and 62 per cent of kids at the higher end of the spectrum have it each week . 'For example, price alone does not fully explain the inverse changes in popularity for rice and noodles among children across socio-economic quintiles.' The research also revealed that more parents are trying to make a conscious choice about purchasing additive-free food, which is up to 50 per cent from 45 last year. However figures in this section also show that as socioeconomic status declines, so does the amount of parents making the decision to buy additive-free foods. Noodles and hot chips are eaten more frequently than salads in lower socioeconomic households . Despite this, increasing numbers of parents are paying closer attention to what they put on the table for their children. 'More than five million Australians are parents with children under 16 in the home. Our research into health attitudes shows that over the last five years an increasing proportion of parents are mindful of their own calorie,", "summary": "New research shows children from lower income families are more frequently consuming chips than they are salads .

A handful of flubs and a flip-flop that were heavily covered by the media don't seem to have slowed down the second-term governor's momentum in the invisible presidential primary, and in a national Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday Walker came in first with 18 percent. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, previously considered the GOP front-runner, was right behind him at 16 percent. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker addresses the American Conservative Union's 42nd Annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at National Harbor, Maryland, last week. Walker didn't win the CPAC straw poll, but he has topped national 2016 polls for the last two weeks . Just two weeks ago it was Bush who was leading Walker by an average of two points in early primary states. But by the time the right-wing of the party made its annual pilgrimage to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area for the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend, it was Walker who was carrying the GOP's torch. A Public Policy Polling survey released a day before the soft start of the convention found that 25 percent of the Republican party had coalesced around The Badger State's chief executive. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who earlier this week became the first Republican to launch a presidential exploratory committee, made a surprise second showing in that poll, taking 18 percent of the vote, as Bush slipped to third place. This week Bush was back on Walker's heels, though, as the Wisconsin governor took flak over comments he made about President Barack Obama's patriotism and religion, protesters in his state and illegal immigration. As pollsters for Quinnipiac began their survey, Walker was asked by the Associated Press if believes that Obama loves his country. The question was related to remarks former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani made at a New York dinner honoring Walker during which the failed presidential candidate suggested the Commander in Chief doesn't have the same level of deference to America as the rest of his countrymen. 'You should ask the president what he thinks about America,' Walker told The Associated Press when he was approached about Giuliani's comments during a Washington, D.C. meeting of the nation's governors. 'I've never asked him so I don't know.' That same weekend Walker told The Washington Post he couldn't possibly know whether Obama is a Christian or not. 'I've never asked him that,' Walker said. 'You've asked me to make statements about people that I haven't had a conversation with about that. How [could] I say if I know either of you are a Christian?' Jeb Bush shakes CPAC attendees' hands at last weekend's convention. Bush, previously considered the GOP front-runner, was right behind Walker in this week's presidential survey , taking 16 percent to Walker's 18 percent . From there, his week didn't get much better.

The Germanwings Airbus involved in today's crash (pictured) would have received a safety warning after a sister plane suddenly lost altitude last year. In that incident, the problem was corrected by the pilot . According to the European Air Safety Agency, a safety system designed to protect the jet reacted to incorrect data due to a faulty sensor. The safety warning related to all Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 \u2013 including the Airbus A320 involved in today\u2019s disaster. In response, Airbus created a \u2018temporary revision\u2019 to all of the aircraft's flight manuals. The EASA determined that the Lufthansa aircraft's Angle of Attack probes got blocked while flying between Bilbao and Munich. The EASA warned that in such a situation 'the flight control laws order a continuous nose down pitch rate that, in a worst case scenario, cannot be stopped with backward sidestick inputs, even in the full backward position.' The agency added: 'This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of control of the aeroplane.' A similar Airbus plane to that involved in today's crash was put down in the Hudson River, New York in 2009 . In that incident, the pilot managed to crash land in the river and the passengers were saved after a bird strike . The A321 involved in the previous incident is a slightly longer version of the plane involved in today's crash, carrying an extra 40 passengers. Germanwings today confirmed that today's downed aircraft underwent a major inspection at Lufthansa in summer 2013 while it was last checked yesterday. The plane that crashed was called 'Mannheim' and made its first test flight in November 1990. It was then purchased by Lufthansa and had its first commercial flight in February 1991. Experts said the aircraft would have been nearing the end of its commercial life after more than 24 years of service. Since the first version of the Airbus A320 was released in 1987, around 4,000 have been built and the company say one takes off or lands somewhere in the world every 2.5 seconds. The A320 plane is a workhorse of modern aviation. Worldwide, 3,606 A320s are in operation, according to Airbus. The A320 family has a good safety record, with just 0.14 fatal accidents per million take-offs, according to a Boeing safety analysis. The safest part of a flight is when the plane is at cruise elevation. Just 10 per cent of fatal accidents occur at that point. In contrast, take-off and the initial climb accounts for 14 per cent of crashes, while final approach and landing accounts for 47 per cent.", "summary": "Sister plane of that involved in today's crash lost altitude late last year .

Professor of paediatrics and psychiatry Bradley Peterson said: 'This is the largest MRI study to date of how early life exposure to air pollutants, specifically PAH, affect the developing mind.

He also employs his wife Lizbeth as office manager on around \u00a325,000-a-year paid for by the taxpayer. For eight years patients and staff at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston, Lincolnshire, have heard that music shows on Fridays are 'kindly sponsored' by Tory Mark Simmonds. Mr Simmonds, a former Foreign Office minister, says all the expense claims were within the rules and the Boston United board was approved by watchdog Ipsa in advance of the claim. Ipsa has also rejected a complaint about sponsorship and refused to investigate because of a lack of 'sufficient evidence'. Local councillor Robin Hunter-Clarke, who is standing for UKIP in Boston and Skegness in May, told the Daily Mirror: 'To pretend he is sponsoring a hospital radio show, boasting of his generosity while in fact charging the taxpayer, is pretty low.' Local support: Mr Simmonds has paid for an ad board at Boston United's York Street stadium to allow the public to see his contact details . But the MP has said he cannot understand why his claims are controversial. He told MailOnline: 'It is a load of nonsense. All the expenses were properly claimed and approved by Ipsa. I even emailed them pictures of the advertising board before I claimed and they approved it. 'It has been a good way to advertise my contact details and a lot of people have got in contact through this'. Regular sponsor: The MP has for eight years 'kindly sponsored' the Friday music show at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston . Last August he quit because of \u2018intolerable\u2019 expenses rules but is the owner of a million-pound mansion, bought using profits from the sale of his taxpayer-funded home. The 50-year-old already owns a seven-bedroom grade-II listed house with a heated swimming pool. Mr Simmonds has claimed more than \u00a31.7million in expenses since becoming a Tory MP in 2001. He also made more than \u00a3500,000 by selling a house on which the taxpayer paid the mortgage interest. Six months after becoming an MP, he bought a five-bedroom house in Putney, south-west London, for \u00a3650,000. From 2001 to 2009, he claimed \u00a32,000 a month for the mortgage interest.

+{"article": "Researchers have mapped dark matter in several colliding galaxy clusters more than a billion light-years away. And one outcome of the research is that dark matter might not actually be composed of particles, as previously thought. Instead, a number of theories ranging from it being a fluid, to not existing at all, have been presented by researchers - who also say it is likely 'weirder than we first thought.' Researchers in Switzerland and the UK mapped dark matter in clusters (shown in blue), and discovered that dark matter might be 'weirder than we thought'. Clockwise from top left, the galaxy clusters are: MACS J0416.1+2403, MACS J0152.5+2852, MACS J0717.5+3745, ZwCl 1358+62, Abell 2744 and Abell 370 . The research was carried out by scientists from the \u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, the University of Edinburgh and Durham University. They used data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory to measure galaxy clusters - collections of hundreds of galaxies. Surprisingly, the study discovered that dark matter \u2018particles\u2019 may simply pass through each other when galaxy clusters collide. \u2018This work looks at the way dark matter interacts with itself when massive clouds of it are smashed together with other massive clouds,\u2019 lead author Dr David Harvey from EFPL told MailOnline. 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. \u2018We find that when this happens, the dark matter does not get affected at all and it carries on unimpeded.\u2019 This implies that dark matter particles do not interact with themselves, which would have caused dark matter to slow down. Instead, it appears that while dark matter could interact \u2018non-gravitationally\u2019 with visible matter, this is not the case when it interacts with itself. More importantly, the study challenges the view that dark matter consists of proton-like particles - or perhaps any particles whatsoever. \u2018The implications for dark matter are that it rules out some models of particle dark matter, for example it challenges the idea that dark matter is made of an equivalent 'dark proton' that is exchanging 'dark photons\u2019,\u2019 said Dr Harvey. \u2018To say we can conclude that dark matter is not a particle is too far, but we are challenging many models of dark matter, and it remains to be seen whether dark matter is a particle as many lines of research are yet to prove this.\u2019 Using the Hubble Space Telescope (shown from Space Shuttle Atlantis in 2009), the team observed distant galaxies that were more than a", "summary": "Researchers in Switzerland and the UK mapped dark matter in clusters .

Lord Coe is challenging Ukraine's pole vault icon Sergey Bubka for the presidency of world athletics governing body the IAAF, to replace Lamine Diack, who steps down in August. Coe, the former chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG), believes sporting boycotts only 'damage competitors and athletes'. Ukraine president Petro Poroshenko told German newspaper Bild the country's allies should consider boycotting the 2018 FIFA tournament in Russia if Moscow does not pull all of its troops out of his territory. Lord Sebastian Coe believes that boycotts only serve to 'damage competitors and athletes' 'I will always oppose boycotts of sport, because I don't think they actually achieve what they set out to do,' said Coe. 'The only people they really damage are competitors and athletes.' Poroshenko told Bild he will push Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel towards tougher sanctions against Russia, citing the fact Shakhtar Donetsk are forced to host matches 1,200km away in Lviv because their home city is occupied by pro-Russia separatists. 'I think there has to be discussion of a boycott of this World Cup. As long as there are Russian troops in Ukraine I think a World Cup in that country is unthinkable,' Poroshenko told Bild. Coe, however, believes politicians should use sport as a 'soft power' to try to bring about change through inclusion rather than exile or boycott. Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko wants Russia to withdraw all troops from his territory . Conflicts have been ongoing between Ukraine and Russia, leading to a call for a 2018 World Cup boycott . 'I think it is far better to have sport as a soft power, helping change all sorts of things, and we can't pick, we can't a la carte menu sport,' said Coe. 'You either believe in its power to change and to be a catalyst for social and political change or you don't. 'I happen to believe that sport has done far more to bring communities together than to isolate and separate them.' Coe was back at the centre of the triumphant 2012 Olympic Games on Monday, the Olympic Park, to launch the 2015 Morrisons Great Newham London Run. The 10k run will be held on Sunday, July 19, and will be the first event staged in the former Olympic Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Coe rates coaxing more young people into athletics as the greatest challenge facing the sport, and his ideas to boost participation form the crux of his manifesto for the IAAF presidency. The double Olympic gold medal winner said it was important he took time out of his hectic campaign schedule to continue the legacy work from London 2012.

With less than a week before the biggest shake-up in the pensions market for more than a century, insurance giant Prudential was last night accused of \u2018greed\u2019 after revealing the extraordinary awards lavished on its senior executives. MPs and pension experts said the scale of the awards would be particularly galling for millions of savers trapped in poor-value annuities or paying excessive charges. Tidjane Thiam (left), the Pru\u2019s Ivorian chief executive, was the highest paid board member, but this was dwarfed by the \u00a315.4million scooped by fund manager Richard Woolnough (right) Tidjane Thiam, the Pru\u2019s Ivorian chief executive, was the highest paid board member, with a total package of \u00a311.8million last year \u2013 a 36 per cent pay rise from the \u00a38.7million he received the previous year. This takes the total amount he has collected in five years at the helm to more than \u00a341million. The 52-year-old announced his resignation earlier this month and will shortly become chief executive of Credit Suisse. But his pay was dwarfed by the \u00a315.4million scooped by fund manager Richard Woolnough \u2013 who runs almost \u00a335billion of savers\u2019 money for the Pru\u2019s investment arm M&G. Mr Woolnough runs several funds which are widely held in savers\u2019 pensions and investment ISAs. These include the M&G Optimal Income fund, which runs just under \u00a324billion of savers\u2019 money. Prudential\u2019s nine board directors shared a total of \u00a349million in pay and perks last year. Mike Wells, the boss of the insurer\u2019s US arm and the man expected to take over from Mr Thiam, was paid \u00a311.4million. Last night Dr Ros Altmann, a leading pensions expert and a government adviser for older workers, accused Prudential of \u2018short-changing\u2019 savers who took out annuities by offering poor rates. Tidjane Thiam, the Pru\u2019s Ivorian chief executive, was the highest paid board member, with a total package of \u00a311.8million last year . She said: \u2018Over the last few years Prudential has been one of the worst culprits, offering poor annuity rates. 'I would imagine that any saver short-changed in one of its annuities would feel most uncomfortable to know the extra profit this company has made on their retirement fund has helped bump up the pay for its top bosses to a figure they could only dream of earning in a lifetime.\u2019 Today a 65-year-old man with a \u00a3100,000 pensions pot would receive an annual income of just \u00a33,899 from a Prudential annuity.

A glamorous Russian television presenter and opposition campaigner - who Vladimir Putin has known since she was a child - today revealed she is facing internet threats warning she will be the next to die after slain Boris Nemtsov. Ksenia Sobchak, 33, retweeted sickening messages, one of which warned her: 'Give up Ksenia, your death will be fast.' The poisonous postings - which also threaten other prominent Putin foes - came after she gave a warm recollection of Mr Nemtsov, remembering how, as a child, she was taken on a sledge ride by him in Davos, Switzerland. Mr Nemtsov was gunned to death in the shadow of the Kremlin late on Friday. Ms Sobchak is the daughter of Putin's political mentor, the late Anatoly Sobchak, liberal mayor of St Petersburg, the Russian President's former law professor who gave him his first political job after he quit the KGB. For years there were rumours that she was Putin's goddaughter - and though this is not the case, many of his supporters have not forgiven her stinging and articulate opposition to his policies. One tweet, using an insulting nickname for the TV host, posted online about Mr Nemtsov's slaying said: 'I am also very happy that there is one bastard less; when is it your turn, Horse?' A user called Vadim, posting a picture of a man pointing a gun, and a list of six prominent opposition surnames - Nemtsov, Navalny, Sobchak, Kudrin, Kasyanov, Khodorkovsky - wrote: 'Just politics, nothing personal'. Mr Nemtsov's name has been ticked off and Ms Sobchak's was number three on the list. 'Good News' - another user - sent Ms Sobchak a message which said: 'Give up Ksenia, your death will be fast'. He used the hashtag: 'Death to Sobchak'. User Unosobad posted: 'Your turn soon, Ksysha. MGER and RKSM promise it.' Ksysha is a fond name in Russian for Ksenia while the acronyms stand for radical groupings - the Young Squadron of United Russia, and the Russian Communist Youth Union.

Jan Bohermann, host of satirical TV programme 'Neo Magazin Royale' on public broadcast channel ZDF, then admitted that his production team had doctored the footage. But now it has been claimed that his confession itself was faked - sparking confusion as to whether the video really is genuine. Scroll down for video . Faked: Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis was accused of making an offensive gesture with his middle finger during a speech he gave in 2013 about the country's finances, and mentioning Germany . Funny: Mr Varoufakis laughed off the incident on Twitter and said: 'We politicians need you badly' Mr Bohermann said he had been waiting to be asked if he had faked the controversial video, but that no-one had queried their work. He added: 'Sorry Mr Varoufakis, we won't do it again.' But ZDF has now issued a knowing reminder to its audience that 'Neo Magazin Royale' is a satirical programme and ironically tweeted that it would place a 'careful, satire' warning on all future broadcasts. That has sparked a new wave of speculation over whether the video is in fact the real deal and the hashtag #varoufake has been Germany's top trending topic on Twitter throughout today. The footage appears to show Mr Varoufakis raises his finger and saying: 'My proposal was that Greece should simply announce that it is defaulting, just like Argentina did, within the euro, in January 2010, and stick the finger to Germany and say well, you can now solve this problem by yourself.' Mr Varoufakis has repeatedly denied the footage was authentic and laughed off the incident on Twitter.

The amazing discovery, the second of its kind, suggests that planets in four-star systems are much more common in the universe than thought. And studying the system could reveal the effect multiple stars can have on a planet - and whether they make them more likely to turn into 'hot Jupiters'. Nasa astronomers in California have found a planet in a multi-star system. 30 Ari b (illustration shown) has four stars in its system - two sets of binary stars. In this image the primary star is in the foreground and its companion to the left, while the planet is in the middle and the other two stars are top right . The planet, studied by an international team of scientists led by Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), had previously been known to exist. However, scientists had thought the planetary system had three stars - not four. The newfound four-star planetary system, called 30 Ari, is located 136 light-years away in the constellation Aries. The primary star is known as 30 Ari B (upper case), and the planet is 30 Ari b (lower case). The system's gaseous planet is enormous, with 10 times the mass of Jupiter, and it orbits its primary star every 335 days. The primary star has a relatively close partner star, which the planet does not orbit. This pair, in turn, is locked in a long-distance orbit with another pair of stars about 1,670 astronomical units away - one astronomical unit is the distance between Earth and the sun. Astronomers think it's highly unlikely that this planet, or any moons that might circle it, could sustain life. The exoplanet, a gas giant, orbits its primary 'yellow' star in about an Earth year's time. Its primary star, called 30 Ari B, orbits the newly discovered small 'red dwarf' star. This pair of stars is itself locked in a long-distance orbit with another pair of stars, known as 30 Ari A. The fourth star, found using instruments fitted to the Palomar Observatory in San Diego, marks only the second time a planet has been identified in a quadruple star system. The first four-star planet, KIC 4862625, was discovered in 2013 by citizen scientists using public data from Nasa's Kepler mission. This latest discovery is important, though, because it suggests that one in 25 sun-like stars are in a quadruple system, whereas previously they were thought to be much rarer. 'About four per cent of solar-type stars are in quadruple systems, which is up from previous estimates because observational techniques are steadily improving,' said co-author Dr Andrei Tokovinin of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.

At the age of 31, this is likely to be former Barcelona midfielder Toure\u2019s final big-money contract . But Financial Fair Play rules are an issue and City would be reluctant to offer him a pay increase. Instead, they are exploring other incentives, with an ambassadorial role or even a coaching position being talked about. It is a far cry from last summer when Toure threatened to leave after being angered that the club did not acknowledge his birthday sufficiently. But while it seems Toure could end his career in Manchester, defender Bacary Sagna is growing agitated at his bit-part role and may consider his future at the end of the season.

But if his first-team chances don\u2019t improve, Sagna may look elsewhere for regular football. City, however, are in a position of strength as Sagna will have two years left on his contract this summer.

He said: \u2018This means some other guys are going to get meaningful opportunities in his position.

But text speak has not been the disaster for language many feared and one leading linguist has claimed it actually improves people's writing and spelling. Professor David Crystal, an honorary professor at Bangor University, said those who text regularly were found to be 'concentrating their minds' on the relationship between sounds and written words. The linguist, who has written more than 100 books on the English language, pointed out a new generation is 'constantly' reading and writing online. 'People say text messaging will harm your spelling. No...It helps you to spell better,' he said at the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature in Dubai according to the Daily Telegraph. 'This is because it focuses your mind on the connection between sound and letters. 'The best texters are the best spellers. 'People say young people don't read and write any more.'They may not necessarily read... Shakespeare or Charles Dickens, but have you ever seen a teenager not reading? 'Young people read probably more than I did when I was that age.' He said the digital age had not necessarily heralded a 'linguistic revolution' in the way critics had predicted and said the 'moral panic' of the potential change has not been justified. Professor Crystal's studies have found around 2,000 new words developed as a result of the digital age, including terms such as blog and twittersphere. He said additions have so far not had a major, or negative, impact on the English language, which has more than one million words. The linguist said many abbreviations such as 'c u l8r' are not commonly used by modern teenagers. Professor Crystal also claimed that hashtags, used on Twitter, are simply a new method of managing and classifying information and were likely to stay. Professor David Crystal dismissed claims youngsters were not reading as much today as they had done in the past . His comments dispel previous claims abbreviated language was worsening teenagers' grasp of the English language. In 2012 a study claimed the grammar standards of school pupils aged 10-12 had slipped as a result of constantly using shortened phrases. Researchers urged parents not to communicate with their children in text speak to avoid their abilities suffering more. Last year it was claimed Britons spent more time using mobile phones, computers and handheld tablets than they did sleeping.

And experts estimate treating obesity and the associated health problems costs the NHS around \u00a36 billion every year - or five per cent of the entire NHS budget. It spends a further \u00a310billion on diabetes. To make matters worse, some of the UK's major hospitals have more than one outlet selling junk food. Addenbrooke's in Cambridge operates a food court with a Burger King, Costa Coffee, Starbucks and pizzeria, while and University Hospital Southampton Foundation trust also hosts a Burger King and a Costa Coffee shop. Earlier this month, it emerged the Greggs bakery at the New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton, is the fast-food chain's second busiest outlet in Britain . Earlier this month it was reported that the Greggs bakery based in an NHS hospital is the fast-food chain's second busiest outlet in Britain. The counter at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton is often so busy selling steak bakes, bacon rolls and pizzas that ropes have to be used to separate queues of hungry customers which can reach 20 people deep. The Sun investigation found customers could buy four sausage rolls for \u00a32.40, each which contained 25g fat. The total recommended daily amount of fat is 75g for women and 90g for men. Those with a sweet tooth could buy three sugar and fat laiden doughnuts for \u00a31. However a spokesman denied the hospital branch was the chain's second biggest outlet. She said: 'There has been a Greggs shop at New Cross Hospital for over 10 years. 'While popular with customers and providing a wide variety of products, this shop is not Greggs\u2019 second busiest shop.' Critics argue the presence of Burger King (pictured in Addenbrooke's hospital), Costa Coffee and Greggs around sick patients goes as far as being negligent - and is simply adding to the soaring obesity", "summary": "More than 100 NHS hospitals in Britain contain national fast food outlets .

+{"article": "Crippling cuts to defence spending have left Britain unable to defend itself or stand up to Russia, according to the former head of the Army. General Sir Peter Wall said the 'consequences' of the squeeze on funding is now 'playing out' in the UK's approach to dealing with Vladimir Putin. He joins a growing chorus of criticism of the refusal by any of the main parties to protect defence spending from cuts after the election, despite a pledge to increase foreign aid budgets being enshrined in law. General Sir Peter Wall said the 'consequences' of the squeeze on funding is now 'playing out' in the UK's approach to dealing with Vladimir Putin . A defence think tank has warned that up to 30,000 members of the forces face redundancy over the next parliament. David Cameron has repeatedly refused to pledge that funding for the military will be kept above the Nato target of at least 2 per cent of GDP. The 2013-14 defence budget was \u00a334.3billion, down from \u00a335.9billion in 2010-11, when the coalition took over. Sir Peter, who retired as head of the army last summer, warned the West has been 'caught napping' amid increasing threats from the Russian Federation and Islamic State. He criticised the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) and said funding reductions were based on the assumption that there would be a 'reasonably benign security environment for this decade' following the drawdown of combat troops from Afghanistan. 'It was acknowledged that we would have less capability in an unexpected crisis than we would wish, and our political choices would be constrained,' he told the Daily Telegraph. 'We can now see those consequences playing out in our reticence to counter Russian expansionism, and her interference in our airspace and offshore waters.' Sir Peter called on the Government to meet the Nato target of spending 2 per cent of national income on defence. He wrote: 'In an era of moral and physical disarmament the West has been caught napping.' It comes after a report by the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) said it was inevitable that Britain's defence spending would drop below the Nato target in the face of continuing austerity cuts. Up to 30,000 service personnel could go - with the Army likely to bear the heaviest cuts - leaving the armed forces with a combined strength of just 115,000 by the end of the decade, it predicted.

The winner of the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize, which is awarded to a teacher for his or her efforts in promoting global citizenship in the classroom, will be announced on Sunday in Dubai. Aside from committing to being a teacher for at least five more years, the winner can spend the $1million on whatever they'd like. The three American finalists together have almost 75 years of experience in classrooms, according to USA Today. Nancie Atwell, 63, is an English and writing teacher in Maine. She founded a private demonstration school in Edgecomb and is the author of nine books. She began teaching in 1973. Naomi Volain, 56, is a high school science teacher in Springfield, Massachusetts. Though she was originally a nutritionist - then a medical copywriter - her hands-on lessons in environmental science and outdoor education during her 17 years of teaching have won much praise. Nancie Atwell, 63, is an English and writing teacher in Maine. She founded an experimental private demonstration school in Edgecomb for kindergarteners through eighth graders in 1990 . Stephen Ritz, 52, is an elementary school teacher in New York City's South Bronx area. He created a low-cost and portable gardening and nutrition program which led him and his students to install more than 100 gardens throughout New York. Atwell said she's 'convinced that teaching language arts is one of the great careers', because it's 'demanding', but also 'meaning-filled' and 'interesting'. She said: 'I get to demonstrate what is possible, teach what is useful, establish conditions that invite engagement, support the hard work of literary reading and writing, and enjoy the kinds of relationships with adolescents that drew me to education in the first place. 'Because my students select the books they read and the subjects they write about, I'm able to help them discover what reading and writing are good for, here and now and in their literate lives to come. 'There is nothing more important than putting the right book in a child's hands at the right time.' Atwell founded the Center for Teaching and Learning in 1990, which uses experimental teaching methods on students in kindergarten through eighth grade. She built an 'excellent classroom library', in hopes of letting her own students discover what they wanted to read on their own. 'I worry that educational bureaucrats have a problem with pleasure,' she told USA Today, 'that if kids are enjoying what they're doing, it can't be rigorous or worthwhile.' If Atwell wins the prize, she said she will donate 'every penny' to the Center for Teaching and Learning. Naomi Volain, 56, is a high school science teacher in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Government sources said they were \u2018pulling out all the stops\u2019 for the commemorations \u2013 which start the day after the Election \u2013 because it is likely to be the last major anniversary to fall during the lifetime of Second World War participants.

Under the plans, a service of remembrance will be held at The Cenotaph on VE Day itself, including a two-minute silence at 3pm marking the moment Winston Churchill announced the end of the war. Schools will hold VE Day-themed assemblies or tea parties, and during the evening a chain of over 100 flaming beacons will be lit across the UK.

+{"article": "Pressure is mounting in Moscow to exhume the bones of the tragic last Russian emperor and his family amid doubts expressed by the Russian Orthodox Church as to their authenticity. The bones which are believed to belong to murdered Tsar Nicholas II, his empress Alexandra and three of their children were dug up in 1991 and are now buried in a crypt in St Petersburg. The famous ruler was forced to abdicate his throne during the First World War in 1917 before he and his family were exiled to western-Russia by the Bolshevik revolutionaries that overthrew him. And on 17 July 1918, the Russian royals were marched into a cellar and mercilessly shot by firing squad on the orders of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin. The proposal to exhume their remains was backed this week by a pretender to the Romanov throne and a senior official in Vladimir Putin's government. The Romanovs: There is growing pressure on the Russian government to dig up the bodies of Russia's last emperor Nicholas II (pictured), his wife Alexandra (centre) and daughters Olga (left), Tatiana (top) and Anastasia (right) - his other daughter Maria and son Alexei (both pictured) were never buried . Remains: The skulls of Nicholas II (right), his wife Alexandra (left) were discovered in 1979 and buried in a crypt in St Petersburg in 1998 - along with their daughters Olga, Tatiana and Anastasia . Forgotten: Although his sisters Olga (left) and Tatiana (right) received a state burial at Peter and Paul Cathedral, Alexei's (centre) remains were never buried . And MailOnline can also reveal that eight years after the discovery of the alleged remains of crown prince Alexei - brutally shot aged 13 with other members of his family - they have still not been laid to rest. Instead his bones - and those of his sister Grand Duchess Maria - lie almost forgotten in cardboard boxes stashed in the Russian state archive with Putin's government refusing to order a burial in the face of objections from the church. Many will see this as the final indignity to a boy born to be tsar, pictured here in remarkable private family photographs, who was deprived of his throne by the two Russian revolutions of 1917. For three hundred years, the House of Romanov was regarded by millions of Russians as the living embodiment of the Russian nation who believed the tsar was appointed by god to rule the empire. It is widely believed that his remains and those of his wife, their children and several servants were originally found in a forest near Yekaterinburg in 1979 and subsequently dug up 11 years later as the USSR was collapsing. Exhaustive DNA tests were conducted in Britain and the US involving matches with living relatives, including Prince Philip, after which they were interred in a crypt in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in royal capital St Petersburg in a 1998 ceremony.

An analysis of the laws made between 1993 and 2014 found that 64.7 per cent carried the fingerprints of Brussels. The study, by the Eurosceptic campaign group Business for Britain, found that 59.3 per cent of the total are regulations \u2013 binding EU laws which must be accepted by member states without modification. Some 49,699 have been enacted. Scroll down for video . An analysis of the laws made between 1993 and 2014 found that two-thirds were made or influenced by the European Union (pictured, the EU flag) And the other 5.4 per cent are directives, a general aim which can be interpreted in the laws passed by national parliaments. Some 4,283 have been implemented by the UK parliament. The study found that the largest number of EU-influenced directives passed into British law was in 2009 when 294 were brought in. There were 171 last year. Of the major pieces of legislation in 2013, 35 out of 78 were implementing EU directives. The findings will fuel debate about David Cameron\u2019s plans to renegotiate Britain\u2019s membership of the EU if he wins a second term, ahead of his promised in-out referendum before the end of 2017. In his landmark speech on Europe two years ago in which he offered the referendum, the Prime Minister said people rightly questioned whether \u2018the balance was right\u2019 in terms of EU legislation. Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Business for Britain, said: \u2018David Cameron has rightly pointed out that bureaucratic EU rules unnecessarily affect our daily lives far too often. \u2018The European Commission and European Parliament almost always see regulation as the answer to every problem the EU faces, regardless of the impact on business and our economic competitiveness. Access to the single market should not come at the cost of having two-thirds of our laws being decided by the EU. \u2018There must be a significant reduction in the amount and scope of EU legislation and powers over certain policy areas should be given back to Parliament so decisions are made far closer to the British people.\u2019 Business for Britain, which is backed by business leaders who want to see Britain either leave the EU or have a fundamentally different relationship with it, says it acknowledges that regulations and directives are needed for the single market to work effectively. The campaign group\u2019s figure is far higher than an estimate from the House of Commons library, which put it at 13.3 per cent. Business for Britain said the explanation for the difference was the fact that many EU regulations simply pass into UK law, without ever being voted on by MPs.

A spokesperson for the Enugu State Police command told Naij.com he claims to be obeying the 'spiritual' urge to carry out the will of God, 'irrespective of whether the woman is married or not.'

On a good Sydney Cricket Ground pitch in perfect weather conditions, the reigning champions will fancy their chances of overhauling the target of 329 and taking their place in Sunday's final against New Zealand in Melbourne. Smith (105) came back to torment India in a partnership of 182 with opener Aaron Finch (81) to lead Australia to a comfortable position with close to 200 runs on the board, nine wickets in hand and over 15 overs to bat. With Umesh Yadav (4-72) to the fore, however, India struck back to remove the power-hitters in Australia's middle order and disrupt their attempt to plunder runs in the later overs. \"I think it's a good total, we're going to have to bowl and field well though,\" said Smith. \"At the start, if you're offered 330, I reckon you take that nine times out of 10. It's going to be about squeezing and hopefully the bowlers can do a job for us. \"It's always nice getting hundreds at the SCG and hopefully the boys can back it up in the field now.\" Smith had come to the crease in the fourth over after Yadav had bounced out opener David Warner for 12 and rarely looked troubled for the remainder of his 122-minute knock.

Aaron Finch at the other end was looking less assured as he sought to end his run of poor form but he too reached the half century mark before his partnership with Smith was broken in the 35th over. Yadav again did the damage, his bouncer cramping Smith as he attempted the hook with the ensuing top edge flying to Rohit Sharma at deep square leg. Glenn Maxwell came out ahead of his skipper Michael Clarke and hit a brisk 23 off 14 balls before sweeping a Ravichandran Ashwin delivery to Ajinkya Rahane at deep backward square leg. The crowd, the majority wearing the blue of India, were roused and Finch soon departed as Yadav's third victim with Clarke (10) and James Faulkner (21) following him back to the dressing room as Australia tumbled to 284 for six.

'We have to qualify for the Champions League and we have many tests next year. That also develops the level of your team, and of course how many players can come in to improve our selection.' Van Gaal has not had everything his own way in his first season in English football but already believes he has identified two future managers in his squad. The former Ajax boss won the European Cup with the Dutch giants against AC Milan back in 1995 . The Dutchman took charge of his national side at the 2012 World Cup in Brazil where they impressed . Van Gaal (left) was boss at Barcelona alongside Ronald Koeman and Jose Mourinho (fourth left) in 1999 . 'Wayne Rooney is very open to learn,' he said. 'It's amazing. I don't know if he speaks with his wife Coleen about football, I don't think so. 'But we have the process of talking here. Most of my players of my selection are open and that's very nice. 'Michael Carrick is more or less a trainer-coach. He is also willing to talk about shapes and systems. The United boss intends to finish victorious before his spell at the 'biggest club in the world' comes to an end . 'That's nice. Rooney also. Not every player is very open and then you have to convince him, and then you get a struggle. It works or it doesn't work. Give them time. Also give me time to do it. 'I am the most flexible manager you can imagine. When the players are coming with good arguments, I change my opinion.' United head to Anfield on Sunday having finally abandoned the three-man defensive system that attracted so much debate earlier in the season. Despite using it all through pre-season and in to the competitive campaign, Van Gaal now claims he has settled on a more effective shape. 'I ask also the players which system they want to play,' Van Gaal revealed. 'And then I ask individual players: 'What's your favourite position?'

Van der Garde had a deal to be one of the team's race drivers this season, but Sauber did not honour it, and legal judgments in Switzerland and last week in Australia before the season-opening race supported the Dutchman's claims. He said on his Facebook page on Wednesday that the compensation meant 'my rights have finally been recognised and that at least some justice has been done,' but said he was 'sad and disappointed' that his F1 ambitions are over, and still bewildered at Sauber's decision-making. Giedo van der Garde has settled his contract dispute with Sauber for 'significant compensation' The former Sauber test driver accepts that he no longer has a future in Formula One . 'I had hoped at last to be able to show what I am capable of, driving a car for a respected midfield team in the 2015 season,' Van der Garde said. 'This dream has been taken away from me, and I know that my future in Formula 1 is probably over.' The settlement ends a long-running dispute that was a dramatic backdrop to the start of the season last weekend in Melbourne, Australia. Having received the backing of a Swiss employment tribunal, Van der Garde took his case to the local Supreme Court of the state of Victoria, where he won the initial hearing and Sauber's appeal. Pressing his claims further, Van der Garde filed contempt of court charges against the team for not immediately facilitating his installation as a driver in Australia. These charges threatened to impound the team's equipment and possibly lead to the detention of team principal Monisha Kaltenborn. The Dutchman was hoping to race for the team at the season's opening grand prix in Australia . Marcus Ericsson (left) and Felipe Nasr (right) eventually raced in Melbourne and will remain Sauber's drivers . He finally agreed to drop that action, allowing drivers Felipe Nasr and Marcus Ericsson to compete in Melbourne, where the team put in a surprisingly strong performance, with the cars finishing fifth and eighth. Van der Garde said on Wednesday he dropped that contempt of court case because it would have 'wrecked' the team's weekend, and hurt Nasr and Ericsson most of all. 'I decided I did not want to live with that idea, even though it was only the team's management that was responsible for the bizarre situation I found myself in,' Van der Garde said. His career supported through his billionaire father-in-law, he said his sponsor forwarded money to the team during 2014 for a 2015 drive. 'Effectively, it was my sponsor's advanced payments that helped the team survive in 2014,' Van der Garde said. 'Sauber's financial decision-making in this case is bizarre, and makes no sense to me.'

+{"article": "The evidence for Mars once being habitable is steadily growing, as samples collected by Nasa\u2019s Mars Curiosity rover have revealed a key ingredient for life in Martian rock. Scientists found traces of nitrogen compounds known as nitrates, a vital source of nutrients for living things on Earth. The discovery is the latest feather in the cap for the theory that while Mars is barren and dry now, it was once habitable. Nasa scientists in California found evidence of nitrogen on Mars. Findings were made by Curiosity's (shown) Sample Analysis at Mars instrument. The scientists found nitrates - a source of nitrogen for life on Earth. It was likely created by asteroid impacts or lightning in volcanic plumes . The findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In their paper, the team of researchers said the nitrogen could indicate the first stage of a primitive nitrogen cycle on the surface of ancient Mars. This could have provided a biochemically accessible source of nitrogen for life on Mars. The Earth\u2019s nitrogen-rich atmosphere made life possible, but the origins of the air we breathe have long been a mystery. Now, scientists believe they have found the answer: that tectonic forces responsible for creating mountains and volcanoes, also made the atmosphere habitable. Geoscientists studied tectonic chemistry and found that nitrogen started building up in Earth\u2019s atmosphere three billion years ago. Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, Carnegie Institution of Washington researchers explained in October 2014 that the chemistry of the air we breathe is the result of billions of years of photosynthesis, as well as tectonic activity. While scientists knew that plant life was responsible for the build up of oxygen, which makes up one fifth of the Earth\u2019s atmosphere, the nitrogen content - which accounts for 80 per cent of air - had remained a mystery. \u2018Discovery of indigenous martian nitrogen in Mars surface materials has important implications for habitability and, specifically, for the potential evolution of a nitrogen cycle at some point in martian history,\u2019 they wrote. The latest evidence was found by using the Sample Analysis at Mars (Sam) instrument on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), more commonly known as Curiosity. The discoveries were made at areas of Mars known as John Klein and Cumberland. The scientists note that this particular nitrate likely resulted from an asteroid impact, or lightning in a volcanic plume. Nitrogen is a key component of things like RNA, DNA and amino acids, and thus important for life. Nitrates themselves are important because they are a good source of nitrogen for living things. The next step will be to see if nitrates are still being produced on Mars. \u2018People want to follow the carbon, but in many ways nitrogen is just as important a nutrient for life,\u2019 said Dr Jennifer Stern, a science team member for the Mars Science Laboratory mission, reported LA Times. \u2018Life runs on nitrogen as much as it runs on carbon.\u2019 Shown is Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument.

+{"article": "Can't choose between a bike, scooter or a skateboard for the commute to work? Now you don't have to, as inventors have come up with a contraption that combines all three into one. The device, called a Sbyke, offers riders young and old the ability to enjoy the three modes of transport simulataneously in a bizarre contraption that has cherry-picked features from each. It has a set of handlebars and a big front wheel like a bike, but the back section looks more like a skateboard. The rider propels themselves as if they were on a scooter. Scroll down for video . Two Californian inventors have come up with a new type of transport. The Sbyke (shown) is a mix of a bike, scooter and a skateboard. It has handlebars and a big front wheel, but the back has a flat section . Its makers say riding a Sbyke feels nothing like a conventional scooter - instead it is more like 'skiing on a pavement'. Ford may be known for its cars, but at this year\u2019s Mobile World Congress the auto giant also unveiled a pair of electric bikes. Both prototypes are powered by 200-watt motors, fold to fit on a train or in the boot of a car, and with pedal assist, help riders reach speeds of up to 15mph (25km/h). The bikes are part of an experiment by Ford called Handle on Mobility, which aims to make journeys safer and more efficient. The bikes, called MoDe:Me and MoDe:Pro, are based on designs by Ford employees and take inspiration from technology seen in cars. For example, both bikes are fitted with rear-facing ultrasonic sensors. These sensors link with the handlebars to discreetly alert the rider when a car is about to overtake using subtle vibrations. The Sbyke is the brainchild of racing drivers Bart and Steve Wilson from San Clemente California who came up with the design as a way to get around the pit lanes at a race track quickly. The Wilson brothers then teamed up with designer Brad Wernli and together they built the first prototype in Brad's garage before launching the product worldwide. The Sbyke comes in two main models - a mini one for children under seven and a bigger version for older kids and adults. The smaller one costs \u00a399.95 ($149) and the bigger is \u00a3159.95 ($249) from sbykeuk.co.uk. Shaun Turner from Hertfordshire, director of Sbyke UK, said: 'The Sbyke is the evolution of the kick scooter - a brand new revolutionary hybrid scooter which takes the best elements from scootering, skateboarding and cycling and rolls them all into one. 'Although it looks a little like a bike, a skateboard and a scooter all mixed together, it rides unlike any of them. 'Sbyke takes the best attributes of each and combines them into something totally unique. 'Imagine skiing and surfing but on the pavement. That's the sensation Sbyke can give you.'

Only one year after a new regulator was tasked with keeping loan companies in check, many are still employing bully boy tactics when a customer defaults on their repayments. The Financial Conduct Authority found that certain firms continued to be 'unsympathetic and inflexible' where a customer was in 'distress and financial difficulty'.

Last April, the FCA was put in charge of regulating the payday industry in an attempt to tackle the number of people spiralling into unmanageable debt through these high-interest short-term loans. But the FCA's own report found evidence that high-risk applicants were still being accepted for loans, even where lenders had 'grounds to suspect that customers were at risk of, or already in, financial difficulties'. They said shambolic record-keeping meant calls and emails from customers admitting they were in difficulty and could not pay often 'fell through gaps' in the system. In some cases, companies had a backlog of correspondence from debt advice charities stretching back several weeks, meaning lenders were completely unaware of why customers had defaulted on their loan. This included medical evidence which would have explained why someone had stopped repaying their debt.

'In many cases, these customers were still being chased for their debts through daily letters, emails and phone calls', the FCA said.

The psychiatrist brother of Chancellor George Osborne has resigned from his private medical company, leaving it with assets of just \u00a3551. Dr Adam Osborne, 38, was suspended by the General Medical Council two weeks ago pending an investigation into allegations he had a two-year sexual affair with a vulnerable woman patient \u2013 a married mother of two with psychiatric issues. Now he has stepped down as a director of Elitemed, the private company he co-owns with his wife Rahala Noor, a plastic surgeon. The company recently filed accounts which showed it was worth just \u00a3551, had \u00a371 in the bank and owed creditors \u00a37,337. Documents also revealed Rahala Noor, 37, who was previously secretary of the company, took over as the sole director. The couple each own 50 per cent of the company, but GMC rules mean Osborne cannot practise as a doctor until an investigation into the allegations is concluded. If they are upheld he could be struck off, although the GMC says the current suspension is not an indication of guilt. Another firm called Devonport Psychiatry, which was registered to Osborne\u2019s West London home, appears to have had its 0845 number disconnected since The Mail on Sunday revealed he had been suspended by the GMC. He has also taken down his personal website. Elitemed was set up in 2010 shortly after Osborne was suspended over earlier claims which centred on his relationship with a cocaine-addicted prostitute. At the time, the GMC said his \u2018relationship\u2019 with the woman had \u2018clouded his judgment\u2019 and led him to prescribe anti-psychotic drugs, dishonestly use a false name and fail to inform her GP. The doctor was also disciplined for prescribing contraceptive pills to Rahala \u2013 who was then his girlfriend \u2013 and an anti-smoking drug to a family member. Osborne married Noor in a Muslim ceremony in 2009 after he had converted to Islam and changed his first name to Mohammed.

Andrea Irwin said that the two weeks since her son Tony Robinson was killed have been 'every mother's worst nightmare' The biracial 19-year-old was shot dead by white Madison police officer Matt Kenny, a 12-year- veteran, after an altercation around 6.30pm on March 6. Scroll down for video . Andrea Irwin, the mother of Tony Robinson, said that teenager such as her son being shot by police had become an 'epidemic' Robinson, 19, was fatally shot by Madison, Wisconsin police officer Matt Kenny earlier this month following an incident where he was jumping into traffic . 'What was his reason for taking my son's life' Ms Irwin said when asked what she would say to Kenny by CBS News. 'What exactly was it that made him feel like that was his only option, that there was no other option? And for it to be death, and to impose that sentence on my son.' 'I feel like I'm in a dream and I just want to wake up,' she said. Robinson, who had been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, had reportedly taken hallucinogenic mushrooms before he was shot. A friend called 911 for help from police in dealing with him after he began going in and out of traffic and allegedly assaulted someone. Ms Irwin, who did not confirm that her son had taken hallucinogens, said that officers should have been conscious about approaching someone on mind-altering substances and that more than one officer should have been used in the incident. The mother, who said she 'grew up with him' after having the boy young, was told about the shooting by his friend's mother, according to the Guardian. She arrived at the University of Wisconsin medical center but was kept alone after not being allowed to wait with her boyfriend for news of her son's condition. Ms Irwin (right, comforting her 15-year-old son Jordan) said that recent police shootings have been a 'slaughtering of children'. Robinson's uncle Turin Carter said that the young man, with a white mother and black father, was the 'face of America'. Above, Carter and others carry Robinson's casket . He was shot in the head, torso and arm. Ms Irwin, who has three remaining children, eventually learned that her friend had been shot by a police officer from a relative that saw it on the news.

Subsequent decisions by grand juries in St Louis and New York not indict the officers involved intensified demonstrations that coalesced under the slogan 'black lives matter'.

The American stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for using performance-enhancing drugs was hoping the Cycling Independent Reform Commission would be more sympathetic after he twice gave evidence to the three-man panel. But CIRC, who submitted their report to the UCI last Friday and are due to hold a media briefing in Switzerland next week, are not planning to recommend to the United States Anti-Doping Agency that they reduce their ban. Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for using performance-enhancing drugs . Armstrong waves from the podium after winning the 16th stage of the 2005 Tour de France . Some reports suggested on Sunday that lawyers representing Armstrong placed certain limitations on what CIRC could ask, which in turn was being given as a reason for the stance CIRC have now adopted. But Armstrong\u2019s legal team vehemently deny that, insisting that no restrictions were placed on CIRC in their two interviews with the Texan. Only recently Armstrong suggested to the BBC that he had answered all CIRC\u2019s questions candidly. \u2018At this point in my life I\u2019m not out to protect anybody,\u2019 he said. \u2018I\u2019m out to protect seven people and they all have the last name Armstrong.\u2019 Armstrong told the BBC that he is out to protect seven people - 'and they all have the last name Armstrong' The American leads ahead of Bradley Wiggins during Stage 17 of the 2009 Tour de France . Armstrong is sure to be angered by the fact that a number of his contemporaries \u2013 who have also been guilty of doping offences \u2013 did not even cooperate with CIRC and yet remain senior figures in the sport. Brian Cookson, the UCI president, had warned that such a lack of cooperation would be frowned upon and it will be interesting to see if he sticks to his promise of introducing a fit-and-proper-person test for cycling team officials in the wake of the CIRC report. Cookson has said the report will make \u2018uncomfortable\u2019 reading for his sport. \u2018When you open a can of worms you find a lot of worms,\u2019 Cookson said last month at the world track cycling championships in Paris. \u2018I think it\u2019s going to be very interesting - there will be a lot of uncomfortable things there.\u2019 Brian Cookson, the UCI president, has said that the report will make for 'uncomfortable reading' Chris Froome revealed to Sportsmail that he has spoken to the CIRC about the problem of doping . But he also took a swipe at Armstrong, accusing him of having an \u2018agenda\u2019 for revealing he had spoken to CIRC in the first place.

Gloucestershire Hospitals - which serves 612,000 patients \u2013 and comprises the Gloucestershire Royal and Cheltenham General Hospitals, has recruited 200 nurses from the Philippines . The shortfall has come about because the number of training places was cut by the Government in 2010 meaning there are fewer \u2018home grown\u2019 nurses coming up through the system. In addition, hospitals are now under pressure to hire more nurses than ever before to care for the rising numbers of elderly patients who are very dependent. Nevertheless it is highly unusual for managers to recruit such a large batch of overseas nurses from one country in such a short space of time. The trust has been under severe pressure over the last few months and has been struggling to cope with the high volumes of patients coming into its two A&E units. It was one of about 15 NHS trusts to declare a major incident back in January due to overcrowding and at one ward in Cheltenham hospital, there were just two nurses looking after 30 patients. And so far this year it has missed the A&E target for treating patients in four hours seven out of eight weeks and cancelled 436 non-urgent operations to free-up bed space. The trust said the nurses had been appointed in December following a recruitment fair held in the Philippines, in the Far East, by a private recruitment agency. It said the nurses had all undergone rigorous checks on their skills and ability to speak English. But experts say the increasing reliance on foreign nurses is only a short-term fix as many end up returning to their home countries after a few years.

Sterling\u2019s double nutmeg on Tomas Mikuckis and Marius Zaliukas, all completed in the same 18th minute move, was outrageous. Lionel Messi did something similar to James Milner during Barcelona\u2019s totalising of Manchester City in the Champions League and the world went into meltdown. Sterling likes the trick, too. Welbeck was also one of England\u2019s most prominent players, an increasing influence on this team as they head towards Euro 2016. He has the trust of his manager. Unfortunately Welbeck will probably miss the game against Italy because of a knee injury and Sterling is heading back to Liverpool for an injection on a long-standing toe injury. 2 SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT . England dropped to 17th in the FIFA world rankings earlier this month and yet the support for the national team is unwavering, even on a Friday night and against opposition as poor as Lithuania. England supporters were even singing \u2018Roy Hodgson\u2019s barmy army\u2019 after Wayne Rooney had scored his 47th goal for his country against Lithuania. This was close to a full house at the national stadium for a routine victory, England\u2019s fifth successive win in this qualification campaign. England fans flocked to Wembley on Friday night despite the latest in a long line of mediocre opposition . The atmosphere remains a problem and the FA would do well to change the playlist to whip up the Wembley crowd before the two teams emerge from the tunnel before kick-off. They did at least turn to old favourite Carnaval de Paris, but what\u2019 s wrong with a bit of tub-thumping by playing some of the other terrace anthems, such as New Order\u2019s World in Motion and the Lightning Seeds\u2019 Three Lions? Bring them back. 3 PLAN FOR THE FUTURE . Roy Hodgson would have offered his resignation if England lost their opening group game against Switzerland last September, but they emerged with a positive 2-0 victory from that tricky night in Basle. Suddenly this emerging team has momentum, stringing together victories and establishing a winning mentality in that England dressing room. Roy Hodgson must prepare this team and tailor it accordingly to take on the big guns at Euro 2016 . We have seen this before, with England unbeaten", "summary": "Wembley was almost full for England's 4-0 win over Lithunia . Raheem Sterling linked well with Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck . Roy Hodgson must prepare his side for the stiffer tests at Euro 2016 . Italy are a different proposition to the side that beat England last summer ."}

Mark Emmert, the president of the NCAA, said Thursday that the governing body for college sports is 'especially concerned about how this legislation could affect our student-athletes and employees.' The Final Four, an annual culmination of the national men's college basketball tournament, is slated to be held next week at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, a city where the NCAA itself is based. The new statute, the first of its kind passed this year, invalidates state and local laws that 'substantially burden' the ability of people \u2013 including businesses and associations \u2013 to follow their religious beliefs . Gov. Mike Pence, a Republican, supported the bill as it moved through the state legislature and was passed by wide margins in both chambers. He signed it in a private ceremony Thursday morning. Pence is considering whether to enter the 2016 presidential race, but is considered an outsider with long odds at success. STUMBLE?

'We will work diligently to assure student-athletes competing in, and visitors attending, next week's Men's Final Four in Indianapolis are not impacted negatively by this bill,' Emmert said. 'Moving forward, we intend to closely examine the implications of this bill and how it might affect future events as well as our workforce.' An online push for the NCAA to react to the bill began earlier this week, carrying the hashtag #Final4Fairness. Former professional basketball player Jason Collins, the first openly gay athlete to play in the NBA, tweeted: '@GovPenceIN, is it going to be legal for someone to discriminate against me & others when we come to the #FinalFour?' A pressure group called the LGBT Sports Coalition asked Thursday for the NCAA, the Big Ten, the NFL, USA Diving and USA Gymnastics to pull their events from Indianapolis over the next 16 months.

EcoPeace Middle East estimates that there are more than 3,000 sinkholes now along the banks of the salt lake, which is bordered by Israel and Jordan. Water evaporation from the lake - which is occurring at nearly four feet per year - drawing freshwater into the pockets of salt left behind by the lake. Environmental groups report that there are now more than 3,000 sinkholes, shown above filled with water, along the banks of the main body of the Dead Sea, caused by the loss of water from the giant salt lake . As the salt dissolves in the fresh water, it causes the earth above it to collapse. Gidon Bromberg, director of EcoPeace Middle East claims that the appearance of the sinkholes has been accelerating in recent years. For thousands of years, the Dead Sea has attracted visitors who come to float in its salty waters and reap its reported health benefits. But the salt lake's water elves have fallen from 394 metres below sea level in the 1960s to about 423 meters below sea level at the end of 2012. As a result, the Sea\u2019s water surface area has been reduced by one third: from roughly 950 square kilometers to 637 square kilometers today. The water level continues to drop at an alarming pace of 0.8 to 1.2 meters per year. The significant decline of the water level over the past 30 years is due to diversion of water from the Jordan River and from the Dead Sea itself due to population increase. The first one appeared in the 1980s, by 1990 there were 40 and by 2005 there were 1,000 holes. Now, Mr Bromberg says, a new sinkhole is appearing almost every day. Speaking to ABC News, Mr Bromberg said: 'These sink holes are a direct result of the inappropriate mismanagement of water resources in the region. 'They could develop overnight or over time, making them unpredictable and very dangerous.' Mr Bromberg and his colleagues believe the rate of these sinkholes appearing has been increased by the construction of dams and reservoirs beside the lake. Water is also pumped from the lake to be evaporated so that minerals such as potash and bromide can be extracted. Water is also pumped from the lake to help maintain the pools that sit outside the spa hotels that attract tourists from around the world. Sitting nearly 1,300ft below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest inland area in the world and has a salinity of almost 33 per cent. Sink holes like this one at Mineral Beach beside the Dead Sea on the West Bank are becoming more common .

+{"article": "Home ownership will become a 'distant' dream for an entire generation, with just one in five under-35s able to buy a house by the end of the decade, Labour claims today. A dramatic slump in property ownership among the young from 60 per cent to 20 per cent in a generation means a record number of people in their twenties and thirties are still living with their parents. Shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds warns five more years of the Tories' 'failed plan' will create a housing gap between those on the property ladder and millions forced to rent. By 2020, just 21 per cent of under-35s will own their own home if the current trend continues, according to Labour. In 1991 the figure was 60 per cent . Latest figures show that just 31 per cent of people aged 16-35 owned their own home in 2012-13, down from 10 per cent in the year before the last election. Labour warns that if the trend continues, it will mean that by 2020 just 21 per cent of young people will be on the property ladder.

In 2001 more than half of under-35s (55 per cent) owned their home, and in 1991 it was as high as 60 per cent. At the same time, the proportion of over-75s owning a property has risen from 53 per cent in 1991 to 76 per cent in 2012-13. In a speech to the Town and Country Planning Association, Miss Reynolds will set out how Labour would try to reinvigorate the aspiration of home ownership. Overall, just 63 per cent of people own their own home, the lowest level since the mid-1980s. Labour claims that if the trend continues it will reach the lowest level for 40 years. 'After five years of empty announcements and failed initiatives the Tories are offering more of the same,' Miss Reynolds will say. 'But they can't even say how their latest pie-in-the-sky scheme will work or how they will pay for the \u00a38.6 billion cost of the supposed 20 per cent discounts that are on offer.

The Belgian's first goal came after Vierinha had seized on a poor clearance from the Inter keeper, surged into the box, and crossed perfectly for De Bruyne to slide home. Then, with 15 minutes to go, the former Chelsea forward's free kick snuck past Carrizo, despite it being aimed at the side of the goal he was meant to be covering.

A Vine capturing his failed attempt quickly began spreading on the internet. It has been viewed more than 7.6 million times, although there is no way to know how many mean comments have been made. Scott Park, 56, took a halfcourt shot at halftime of the ACC semifinal game between Notre Dame and Duke . His attempt fell badly short of the mark and a Vine capturing the moment began spreading on the web .

I'm happy to even have a chance to shoot for a million dollars. 'I had no illusions that ball was going in.' In 2007, Park had open heart surgery and was forced to go back to the hospital two days later because something was wrong. Doctors couldn't figure out why, but Park's kidney, liver, spleen, gallbladder and pancreas were shutting down. Things got so bad that one of Park's doctors began preparing his wife Ellen for his death. Park's wife Ellen was at the game. He has a blood disorder called catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome . Patients with CAPS like Park have a 48 per cent mortality rate, primarily due to sudden cardiac arrest . After a last-ditch effort, all of Park's organs, except his kidney, began to respond and he was eventually diagnosed with a blood disorder called catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS). The rare disorder has only been diagnosed about 400 times. The syndrome is 'a rapidly progressive life-threatening disease that causes multiple organ thromboses and dysfunction in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies', according to the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine.

Inflation has already plunged to 0.3 per cent \u2013 its lowest level since 1960 \u2013 after a big fall in the cost of essentials such as food and fuel. And Bank of England governor Mark Carney told Parliament yesterday that it would \u2018likely fall further to around zero in the coming months, and remain near there for much of the year\u2019. Scroll down for video . Mark Carney said prices were likely to remain flat for the rest of the year because of falling prices of oil and food . The Bank also forecasts that real post-tax income is expected to rise by 3.5 per cent this year as the long squeeze on living standards comes to an end. That means British households can expect their biggest boost in spending power since 2001, experts say. Chancellor George Osborne hopes that the easing pressure on family finances and the continuing economic recovery will help the Conservatives at May\u2019s general election. Tory strategists believe the party\u2019s move ahead of Labour in recent opinion polls shows more voters are starting to feel the benefits of the economic turnaround. Labour planned to make a \u2018cost of living crisis\u2019 a major election issue, but the news seems to support Conservative claims that their economic plan is working. Last night the Treasury hailed Mr Carney\u2019s inflation forecast as \u2018good news\u2019 for households. Mr Carney, giving evidence to the House of Lords economic affairs committee, said: \u2018The combination of rising wages and weak headline inflation will strengthen household finances and boost real take-home pay growth this year to the fastest rate in a decade. In turn, this will support continued solid growth in consumer spending.\u2019 Inflation has already hit the lowest level on record - hitting just 0.3 per cent in January - but Mr Carney said it would be 'extremely foolish' to slash interest rates to try to get inflation back to its target rate of 2 per cent . Mr Carney warned that interest rates are likely to rise at some point \u2013 but said that when that happens the increases will be \u2018gradual\u2019 and \u2018limited\u2019. Rates have been frozen at a record low of 0.5 per cent for more than six years. There has been speculation that the Bank could cut rates even further \u2013 towards zero \u2013 if inflation threatened to fall too far and turn into a dangerous bout of deflation. Such a move would spell misery for savers \u2013 who have already missed out on around \u00a3130billion in interest payments because of ultra-low rates \u2013 but would be welcomed by borrowers. But Mr Carney yesterday insisted that it would be \u2018extremely foolish\u2019 to cut rates to counter the uncontrollable fall in global oil prices.

EU governments agreed that the roaming charges for mobile phone users abroad should stay in place until at least until the end of 2018. The decision comes despite MEPs voting for an end to the charges which they said were too high. The European Parliament had said roaming charges should be scrapped by the end of 2015. British holidaymakers face three more years of being ripped off by extortionate 'roaming charges' for using their mobile phones abroad . But at a meeting in Brussels, EU governments tonight agreed to allow large mobile phone firms to continue levying extra charges on travellers for at least another three years, when the situation could be reviewed. Governments said consumers should be given a small roaming allowance to use outside their home country from the middle of next year, but any usage above it should still be subject to further charges. The decision is a major blow to British tourists travelling to Europe. A recent study showed that the average British person spends an extra \u00a3120 on their mobile phone on each trip abroad. The issue of scrapping roaming charges has seen the EU come head-to-head with the telecoms industry, who argue it will affect their revenues. Tonight's decision comes despite the European Parliament's decision to scrap roaming charges by the end of 2015 . Some members of the parliament immediately criticised the decision. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats said: 'The only winners from it are national telecoms operators themselves. Member states should hang their heads in shame.' European consumer groups, speaking through an umbrella organisation, the BEUC, condemned the plan as 'outrageous'. 'Roaming is not justifiable in a single market,' they said. The member states must now agree a common position with both the European Parliament and Commission before changes take effect, so negotiations in the coming months are likely to be hard-fought.

Bargain: Heath Hall, on The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, north London has sold for \u00a325million around a quarter of its original asking price . After spending a fortune on a lavish refurbishment, the businessman put it on the market in 2011 for a staggering \u00a3100 million - making it the most expensive home for sale on the open market in the UK. However, a year later the price was dropped to \u00a365 million. It was then thought the home, which is more than 25 times the size of the average new build, would be quickly snapped up. But a buyer could not be found and Heath Hall, which was originally built in 1910 for sugar magnate William Park Lyle, has languished on a stagnating market - until this week.

A former Royal Marine pilot killed his passenger after crashing his aircraft while performing a 'foolish and dangerous' loop-the-loop at a low height, a court has heard. Scott Hoyle, 48, allegedly carried out the acrobatic manoeuvre in his Tiger Moth plane, despite passenger Orlando Rogers being too big for the move to be carried out safely. The court heard how Hoyle, described in court as a novice, was 'reckless' for attempting to perform the stunt at a height 'at which recovery was improbable'. Hoyle's 'risk-taking' allegedly caused the plane to nose-dive into a field near Witchampton, Dorset, killing Mr Rogers. The 26-year-old was a former Royal Marine who served in Afghanistan and Northern Ireland. Hoyle, from Broadstone, Dorset, also suffered serious injuries during the crash, from which he has since recovered. He denies manslaughter and endangering the safety of an aircraft. Opening the case at Winchester Crown Court, Michael Bowes QC, prosecuting, said: 'The prosecution case is that the fatal crash was caused as a result of conscious risk-taking by Scott Hoyle, in that he flew the aircraft in a way which created an obvious risk of serious injury to Orlando Rogers, and Scott Hoyle either chose to disregard it or was indifferent to it. 'The prosecution submits that what he was intending to do was plainly dangerous and created an obvious risk of serious harm.' Mr Bowes told the jury of six men and six woman that, at 18st 7lbs and 6ft 2in, Mr Rogers' size placed restrictions on how the aircraft should be manoeuvred, something Hoyle should have known and made the flight unsafe. He said Hoyle had flown 35 hours in the aircraft, making him a 'novice' in it, and that he was not trained to perform the loop-de-loop manoeuvre he was alleged to have been attempting. The jury was told the flight was the second Hoyle had flown from the Compton Abbas airfield in Dorset that day, having taken another friend up in his plane earlier. Mr Bowes said he had successfully completed several loops with the other passenger and that GPS tracking suggested he crashed near where these previous acrobatics had taken place. 'The location of the fatal manoeuvre and the improbability of Scott Hoyle's own account of the loss of control, and evidence from eye witnesses on the ground, all point to the fact that this was indeed an attempted loop,' said Mr Bowes.

Hazlewood, replacing seamer Pat Cummins, combined with left-armer Mitchell Starc to remove Pakistan's openers cheaply and returned to punch a hole through the Asian team's middle-order on a sun-drenched autumn day. Part-time spinner Glenn Maxwell took two wickets and Aaron Finch three catches at deep midwicket, as captain Misbah-ul-Haq and two other Pakistan right-handers gave up their wickets on a platter when attempting to clear the short boundary. Misbah won the toss and opted to bat first but the move backfired with openers Sarfraz Ahmed and Ahmed Shehzad both out within three balls before the sixth over. Sarfraz, on 10, edged a quicker ball from Starc to Shane Watson who took a fine, low catch diving to his right in the slips. Hazlewood (4-35) then struck to remove Shehzad for five, the opener edging behind to Australia captain Michael Clarke. Misbah was nearly out for a duck two balls later when the ball brushed his stump after clipping his thigh pad, but the bails stayed intact. He and number three batsman Haris Sohail battled to steady the innings and the Pakistan skipper smashed Maxwell over the fence twice. But Maxwell had the last laugh, breaking the 73-run partnership when Misbah miscued a slog-sweep straight to Finch in the 24th over. The writing was on the wall when Mitchell Johnson had Sohail out for 41 soon after, following up a venomous bouncer with a wide, fuller delivery to the left-hander who sent a leaden-footed edge to wicketkeeper Brad Haddin. Infuriatingly for Pakistan fans, Umar Akmal (20) and Shahid Afridi (23) repeated their captain's horrid dismissal, holing out to Finch on the rope off the bowling of Maxwell and Hazlewood respectively. That left Pakistan reeling at 158-6, but paceman Wahab Riaz added 30 runs with Sohaib Maqsood before the middle order batsman slashed Hazlewood straight to Johnson at cover to be out for 29. Wahab was out a few balls later for 16, nicking Starc behind to Haddin, before Sohail Khan sent a top-edge from a Hazlewood ball soaring high into the sky before landing in the wicketkeeper's gloves.

A medieval man who is believed to be a knight, may have died from injuries sustained from jousting, marks found on this skeleton (pictured) suggest . Jousting involved two or more knights on horseback fighting with lances and was used in medieval times to practice battle skills and settle disputes. Archaeologists were excavating the remains at the Heritage Lottery-funded project between 2009 and 2011 \u2013 but investigations are still ongoing into some of the more unusual skeletons, including that of the knight.

Tina Huang's proposed class action for sex discrimination comes as male-dominated Silicon Valley has been rocked by two other high profile lawsuits.

In the papers, she claims the firm has no formal procedure for posting job vacancies or granting promotions. Twitter is being sued by a former female engineer Tina Huang for gender discrimination . Instead, she says the company relies on a secretive 'shoulder tap' process that allows few women to achieve the top engineering positions. In the legal papers Miss Huang allegedly argues that 79 per cent of Twitter's leadership team is male, according to Mashable. Miss Hiss Huang complained to Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, pictured . Miss Hunag is one of Twitter's oldest employees after joining the firm in October 2009. She was put on leave after she raised a grievance with CEO Dick Costolo about her lack of promotion and quit in June 2014. 'Despite being one of Twitter's oldest employees, Ms. Huang's career at Twitter was irreparably derailed for making a complaint, court documents says, according to Business Insider. 'After three months without explanation as to the status of the investigation, or mention of any possible time frame for her return to work, she felt she had no choice but to leave the company for the sake of her career.' She is now seeking other employees at the firm who feel they have been passed over for promotion to join her in the lawsuit. A spokesman for Twitter said Miss Huang had resigned and was not forced out.

Miss Huang started her legal action as the case was being heard of Ellen Pao, a former partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers, who is suing for sexual discrimination. During the high-profile trial in San Francisco she has claimed she was passed over for promotion because she is a woman. She alleges that she was fired in 2012 after she complained. The firm deny her claims of sexual discrimination and harassment. At the weekend a judge denied a request by lawyers for Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to have Pao's demand for unspecified punitive damages thrown out. Judge Harold Kahn said: 'There is sufficient evidence from which a reasonable juror could conclude that Kleiner Perkins engaged in intentional gender discrimination by failing to promote Ms. Pao and terminating her employment,' the judge said in the one-paragraph decision. Pao can seek punitive damages that could add millions of dollars to a possible verdict in her favour. She is seeking $16 million in lost wages and bonuses.

Gill, the former Manchester United chief executive, is standing against Wales' Trefor Lloyd Hughes for the position, which is being elected by UEFA's 54 members at its congress in Vienna on Tuesday. Dyke, who has made clear his opposition to FIFA president Sepp Blatter continuing in the position, said Gill would act as a counter-balance to the 'acolytes' on FIFA's executive committee. The FA chairman said: 'David will be the sort of person who will do the job as a FIFA executive committee member properly. He will not be afraid of asking appropriate questions - in fact perhaps FIFA needs to have someone from the awkward squad asking tough questions. 'He has a strong background in finance so if there are financial questions he will know what to ask and what to look for.

'There is a feeling that there have been too many acolytes and not enough people asking difficult questions and ensuring that decisions are taken in a transparent, ethical and business-like manner. 'Michel Platini (UEFA president) was very keen for David to stand for the position and to represent UEFA on the FIFA executive committee.' Gill himself admits that change cannot happen overnight. He said: 'I aim to use my skills in football around the table and work with my UEFA colleagues to have a greater say and influence in how it operates. In terms of votes it's quite an important block. 'In areas like transparency and decision-making, it's not going to happen overnight and it's arguable whether it will happen unless there is a president change. 'My personal view is that it needs a change at the top to ensure that the required changes take place. I'm not naive enough to think I can change things overnight.' FA chairman Greg Dyke claimed that Gill would not be afraid of asking appropriate questions . The Football Association of Wales has claimed its English counterparts have reneged on a deal agreed in 2011 which would see a Welsh nominee replace Northern Ireland's Jim Boyce as FIFA vice-president. Gill said the agreement became void after FIFA reforms, which saw the British FIFA vice-presidency elected by all UEFA members instead of just the four home nations. He added: 'If there was a deal, that then changed after the reforms. It may be semantics but it previously was the British vice-president of FIFA. Now it's UEFA electing a FIFA vice-president. 'We (the FA) very clearly took the view, as did UEFA, that the 54 countries of UEFA will determine that person and I think that makes sense.

The test, which was conducted by a team of researchers at Reef HQ in Townsville, northern Queensland, is intended to enhance the lives of stingrays living in captivity. The test, which is the first enrichment program to ever be tested on stingrays, works by improving the memory of the cartilaginous fish, reports ABC. Researchers in Townsville conduct tests on stingrays to make them work for their food . One of the aquarists involved in the study Laura Coulton said it has been an overwhelming success. 'We created individual targets for each of the three stingrays we have here,' she said. 'At first we used some food to bait them towards the target so they became familiar with it. But very quickly, within a week, when we put the targets in they were coming straight to it.' Another researcher from the project, James Cook University researcher Sara-Louise McCracken, said the test is intended to break up the monotony of caged animal's lifestyle. 'We're wanting to change the monotony and the routines of the daily regimes that can be associated with captive species,' she said. 'So instead of just being presented with their food at the same time every day, with no interaction or thought behind it, we're really making them earn their living, which is a really innate and natural behaviour. James Cook University researcher Sara-Louise McCracken, said the test is intended to break up the monotony of caged animal's lifestyle .

The Ministry or Defence said that the stealth F35-B, which has been plagued by design flaws and technical setbacks, could not be flown within 28 miles of a thunderstorm. Named \u2018Lightning II\u2019, it was even at risk of its namesake while on the ground with pilots told to move it under cover if less than 11 miles away from a storm. RAF pilots have been banned from flying Lightning II fighter jets in a storm over fears it could explode . The fighter was created under the U.S. 20-year Joint Strike Fighter programme, with the U.S. Government having ordered 2,500 of the Lockheed Martin planes. In Britain, 14 of the aircraft have been ordered to replace the ageing Harrier jump jet on the decks of the new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers. But a recent Pentagon report highlighted concerns over the placement of the jet's fuel tanks, which are located all the way through the wing, through the fuselage, around the inlets and back toward the engine. Pierre Sprey, a former Pentagon analyst who helped design the F-16 in the early 1970s, compared the engine to 'a blowtorch surrounded by fuel.' There was also a risk of catching fire if the fighter plane was shot at. Last June, an F-35 burst into flames as it was taxiing for take-off at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, because the engine had cracked during previous flights manoeuvres. One of the Pratt & Whitney engines broke apart, pushed through the top of the aeroplane, and caught fire while the pilot was preparing to take off. The entire fleet of F-35s was grounded for three weeks, and the plane missed its international debut. But that was not the end of problems for the fighter jets. The single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft boasts a helmet mounted display system which is supposed to offer a 360 degree view of the outside of the aircraft. But the MoD admitted there were still 'unresolved issues' surrounding the technology. The Ministry or Defence said that the stealth F35-B, which has been plagued by design flaws and technical setbacks, could not be flown within 28 miles of a thunderstorm in case it was hit by lightning . SNP defence spokesman Angus Robertson, who brought up the safety issue in a series of parliamentary questions, told the Mirror the MoD were 'burying its head in the sand' over the jet's failures. He said: 'When they named the aircraft Lightning I don't think they expected that very thing would render them totally useless. Adding to this \u00adembarrassment is the revelation none of these new jets have yet broken the sound barrier.' The RAF website states that the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter was built to be a 'multi-role, all weather, day and night aircraft'.

Doting: Mother-of-one Candice Campbell, 25 (pictured left and right with partner Geoffrey Burns), choked to death on her own vomit after eating a Kinder Bueno before falling asleep on the sofa, an inquest has heard . Her husband-to-be Geoffrey Burns, who had also fallen asleep, woke up to find his partner's lifeless body slumped onto his knee. Despite him desperately giving CPR to Miss Campbell, she could not be saved. Miss Campbell, who did not drink alcohol, had been taking a variety of prescribed medication to ease abdominal pain which she had suffered after giving birth in October 2013. At an inquest into her death, Mr Burns told the hearing how he had warned Miss Campbell not to eat the bar, incase she fell asleep. He told how the pair had both fallen asleep while watching a film, but that he had woken up around 5.30am to find Miss Campbell unresponsive. He said: 'Candice was eating a stick of Kinder Bueno and I told her not to eat chocolate in case she fell asleep because her medication makes her drowsy. I was worried that she may fall asleep eating it. 'I must have been tired because I fell asleep. I woke up to the dogs barking and Candice's head was on my lap.

I blew twice into her mouth and did 32 compressions.' The inquest heard how Mr Burns then ran 12 doors down the street to Miss Campbell's parents' house to get help. Her father, Ian Gibson, also attempted CPR before they called for an ambulance. Dr Ian Scott, consultant neuropathologist at the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham, carried out the post-mortem examination.

Faced with the fusty brown and burgundy upholstery in his flat in Fulham, West London, she rushed to the shops to find replacements in more neutral tones, but struggled when it came to buying good quality bed linen in the purest of whites. She didn\u2019t know it at the time, of course, but that day in 1993 marked the moment Rucker began to dream of setting up a shop selling everything in white. Scroll down for video . Chrissie Rucker is the founder and director of The White Company and is pictured here with a selection of her products . More than two decades on, the 46-year-old founder of The White Company is one of the UK\u2019s wealthiest businesswomen having transformed what began as a 12-page mail-order catalogue selling white towels and bed linen into a home furnishings and fashion empire. Her business sells everything from \u00a320 scented candles to \u00a3200 cashmere jumpers, and while she has branched out to shades such as \u2018biscuit marl\u2019 and \u2018cloud grey\u2019, Rucker remains obsessed with all things pale. Her white revolution has seen sales soaring at her 53 High Street stores \u2014 even the Queen has sent out her ladies-in-waiting to buy bedspreads \u2014 and has spread across the Atlantic where she launched a U.S. website last year.

Her position on the Sunday Times Rich list has climbed steeply from 427th to 326th. She and her husband\u2019s combined wealth is estimated at \u00a3295 million. Aside from the money pouring into company coffers, Rucker owns three stunning properties, all decorated from roof to floor in her trademark sweeping white interiors. There\u2019s a \u00a312.5 million 17th-century manor house in Buckinghamshire, set in 51 acres of parkland, a \u00a34 million townhouse in London\u2019s fashionable Holland Park and what is widely regarded to be the finest property in the Swiss Alps, Haus Alpina, a luxury chalet with full-time staff which Rucker rents out for a staggering \u00a326,000 a week.

In a major report on the impact of global warming on food, scientists have concluded that the quality of many meats and vegetables is due to decline at temperatures increase. The researchers predict that as heatwaves become more common, steaks and other meats are likely to become stringier and tougher - putting the traditional barbecue at risk. Beefburgers, like those above, could become far less appetising option on future BBQ's due to climate change . Popular vegetables like carrots are also likely to become less flavoursome and have a less pleasant texture. Potatoes are likely to suffer far more from blight, which rots the tubers and makes them inedible. 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. Now, in the first study to test how ocean acidification could impact on the taste of seafood, researchers at the University of Gothenberg and Plymouth University, found it will also affect their taste. Shrimp raised in the water with a lower pH were 2.6 times more likely to be rated as the worst tasting, while those reared in the less acidic water were 3.4 times more likely to be judged the tastiest. Onions could get smaller if temperatures early in the season increase while fruit and nut trees in some regions may not get cold enough to signal fruit development. The report, produced by scientists at the Univeristy of Melbourne, also warned that milk yeilds could decrease by up to 10-25 per cent as heatwaves grow more common. Lower levels of grain production could also hit dairy cattle, meaning their milk contains less protein, which would result in poorer quality cheese. Professor Richard Eckard, director of the pirmary industries climate challenges centre at the University of Melbourne, said: 'It\u2019s definitely a wake up call when you hear that the toast and raspberry jam you have for breakfast, for example, might not be as readily available in 50 years time. 'Or that there may be changes to the cost and taste of food items we love and take for granted like avocado and vegemite, spaghetti bolognaise and even beer, wine and chocolate. 'It makes you appreciate that global warming is not a distant phenomenon but a very real occurrence that is already affecting the things we enjoy in our everyday lives, including the most common of foods we eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.'

The world of dog breeding was rocked by scandal last night amid allegations that a prize-winner at this year's Crufts was deliberately poisoned. In a plot straight from the pages of a detective drama, a breeder claimed her \u00a350,000 Irish setter died after he was fed meat laced with toxins. But she believes the poisoner mistakenly targeted the wrong dog and had intended to kill another of her Irish setters that looks very similar. In what could become the biggest scandal in Crufts' 124-year history, three-year-old Jagger collapsed and died on Friday, the day after coming second in his class at the world's most famous dog show. Tests found that Jagger \u2013 pedigree name Thendara Satisfaction \u2013 had eaten cubed beef laced with up to three poisons. However co-owner Dee Milligan-Bott believes the intended victim was four-year-old Noodle, pedigree name Thendara Pot Noodle, who won best of breed on the day Jagger competed. The two almost identical looking dogs had switched places on the benches where entrants sit before and after going in the show ring at the NEC in Birmingham. Jagger died in the arms of joint owner Alexandra Lauwers at her home in Belgium. She reported his death to police and animal welfare officials there, and to the Kennel Club, which runs Crufts. CCTV footage from the NEC is being reviewed but West Midlands Police and the RSPCA here have yet to be informed officially. The target? Noodle, pedigree name Thendara Pot Noodle, at Crufts with co-owner Dee Milligan-Bott . There has been controversy over the increasing number of foreign dogs allowed to compete at Crufts, which attracts more than 20,000 entries from 200 breeds. This year's competition ended last night with Knopa, a foreign-owned Scottish terrier, being named best in show. But Jagger's owners say he could have been fed the poisoned meat by a 'random psychopathic dog hater' or a jealous rival breeder. The Kennel Club said it had not heard of such an incident before and promised to assist any police inquiries. Last night Mrs Milligan-Bott, 56, said she had 'done nothing but cry' over Jagger's death. She said: 'We think this is the work of some random psychopathic dog hater who decided to visit Crufts with one thing in mind, rather than any sort of targeted attack.' Mrs Milligan-Bott, who breeds and shows Afghan hounds and Irish setters with her husband Jeremy Bott, 66, said tests showed Jagger had been killed by a 'pesticide-type' poison. She said: 'Some sadistic person out there poisoned our dog. Crufts is a high-profile event and we live in a very anti-dog society.' The holding area where dogs are 'benched' before and after competing is open to the public, although they are asked not to touch the animals.

David Cameron should rule out coalition with any other party after the general election, according to Boris Johnson. The London Mayor suggests it would be 'fatal' for the Conservative Party to give any suggestion that it is in the market for a fresh power-sharing deal with the Liberal Democrats or another smaller party. 'We should say \"stuff coalition with anyone\",' Mr Johnson told the Daily Mail. 'We are there to win, we are there to offer leadership, we are there to be a Conservative government. 'If we go into this thing issuing faint pheremonal offerings or mating signals to this or that party, it would be absolutely fatal.' Asked whether the Prime Minister should rule out a second coalition altogether, Mr Johnson replied: 'Yes. Otherwise people don't know what they are voting for.' Lord Steel says there is no appetite among Liberal Democrats for another coalition \u2013 or among the two big parties. 'A lot of David Cameron's Tories want a Tory-only government, even if it's a minority one, and similarly on the Labour side,' the former Liberal leader told the BBC. 'I suspect \u2013 if you have to look into the crystal ball \u2013 that we're going to get a minority government which will have a multitude of minorities in the parliament, which is something new, and they'll be able to play one off against the other.' He said the most that Lib Dems would countenance in another hung parliament would be a 'confidence and supply deal', where they agreed to support a larger party in key votes but did not enter a formal coalition or take ministerial jobs. He also said that his party needed to 'recharge its values'. Mr Johnson, who is Mr Cameron's chief leadership rival, criticised the fixed-term parliaments legislation introduced by the coalition \u2013 suggesting it should be repealed. 'The sooner it expires, the better. I always thought it was some bit of Lib Dem nonsense,' he said. 'Constitutionally the thing we need to address is the rank injustice that it takes so many thousands more votes to elect a Conservative rather than Labour MP. It's an absolute scandal.' Former Conservative minister Sir Alan Duncan has led the calls for a cross-party deal to repeal fixed-term legislation, branding it a 'recipe for political horse-trading and coalition manoeuvrings'. Labour's Jack Straw and Tory Kenneth Clarke support the move. Critics say five years is too long, risking a 'zombie parliament' in the final year.

+{"article": "White children will be outnumbered by minority kids in the United States in just five years, new Census Bureau projections reveal. This is the result of an ongoing trend of declining birth among white Americans and a baby boom among immigrant groups, as well as a surge in immigration. By the year 2020, 50.2percent of all children in the US are expected to be non-white, according to the Census. By 2044, whites will be outnumbered by minorities. The Census study, released this week, predicts that by year 2060, nearly 20percent of the population will be foreign born - thanks to an influx of 64million new immigrants. Deadline: In less than five years, minority children will outnumber white ones. In 14 years after that, more than half of all Americans will be minorities . The US will add nearly 100million people to its population in the next 40 years. 64million will come from immgration and another 40million will be born to foreign-born mothers . The populations of Hispanics in the US will rise 114percent - from 55million in 2014 to 63.6million in 2060 - making up about 29percent of the population. And the number of non-Hispanic whites will actually likely to decline over the next 40 years - from 200million and 62percent of the population now to 182million and 44percent of the population in 2060. The number of people who identified themselves as only black will also decline about 8percent to about 59million. The number of Asian-Americans will also increase dramatically - even more than the Hispanic population - rising 128percent to 22million. The Census reporty also projects a massive surge in the portion of the population that's over age 65. By 2030, 20percent of that population will qualify for a senior discount. In 2033, there will be more Americans over age 65 than children - thanks to the aging Baby Boom generation. By year 2060, there will be 76 'dependents' - those over age 65 and drawing government benefits or under 18 - for every 100 working-age Americans. Demographers estimate that by 2060, the population of the United States will increase by 98million - from 319million to 417million people. Even so, the overall population growth of the nation will slow considerably over the next 40 years - as immigrants and the children of immigrants reach higher incomes, their fertility rates will drop - like native-born whites have. Big change: This chart shows how the portion of whites in America will fall from 62percent to 44percent in the next 40 years . The portion of foreign-born residents will increase from 13percent now to nearly 20percent by year 2060 .

Surprisingly light, the Watch oozes quality and attention to detail in the design and build. Apple has gone to great lengths to show off the specialist materials used to make it, and it shows. Scroll down for video . 'Apple\u2019s Watch does what Google Glass and Pebble\u2019s smartwatch failed at,' says Mark Prigg.

For the record, I used the leather strap with magnetic \u2018slap band\u2019 on the Sport model, and also tested the Gold Edition. Using the Watch can be slightly confusing at first - the combination of digital crown, button and touchscreen mean that for your first few tries, you\u2019ll probably press the wrong one.

It has also invented a new typeface to make the screen easier to read . However, will people want one?

+{"article": "Everyone from Kim Kardashian and Margot Robbie to Rosamund Pike and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini have chopped off their long locks recently, making shorter hair a bona fide trend. But the rise in these shorter haircuts isn't just down to their flattering face-framing effects. According to the Sunday Times, the growing popularity of shorter haircuts is also sign of economic recovery, since they require more frequent trips to the salon and are therefore more pricey to maintain. Shorter haircuts, like Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's new bob (right), are an indication that the economy is in recovery . Rosamund Pike wore a longer style in Gone Girl (left) but recently she went for the chop (right, in February) Celebrity hairdresser Stuart Phillips, whose clients have included Serena Williams and Jamie Oliver, told the newspaper that he believes shorter hairdos are a sure sign that the economy is bouncing back. He said: 'Products are flying off the shelf, more than they used to even a few months ago.' And it's not just the fact that shorter styles require more sprays and gels. The upkeep of a lob (long bob) or pixie crop is also time-consuming, with some women having to visit the salon every four to six weeks to maintain the look. Margot Robbie went from one dramatic hairstyle (left, in March 2014) to another (right, in February 2015) Jourdan Dunn (left, in July 2014) made waves when she got her chin-length lob (right, in February 2015) Kristen Stewart transformed her long auburn locks (left, in May 2014) to an equally daring short style (right, in February 2015) By contrast, women with longer hair can leave it a few months before going in to top up their trims. 'With short hair you need to keep it in shape,' explained Mr Phillips. 'With long hair, a lot of women tend to leave it months on end.' Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, who is the face of L'Oreal, debuted her new layered bob just last week on the Graham Norton Show. And Aussie actress Margot Robbie chose the Oscars to show off her new shorter blonde look. A-list trends may not be the best indication of a pattern in the real world, but according to hairdresser Drew Foster, who owns Foster Hair & Beauty in London's Shoreditch neighbourhood, non-famous women are also following suit. Sienna Miller traded in her hippie-chic long waves (left, in March 2014) for a side-swept lob (right, in January) Scarlett Johansson had longer locks in March 2014 (left). But now, she has a very edgy pixie cut (right, February) 'Girls are going shorter,' he told the MailOnline, adding that his salon charges about \u00a348 for a bob, with women tending to come in every six weeks to maintain the style. But Mr Foster feels that the trend is more a sign of modernity than of economic change, since women visit salons even during a recession because they see it as a way of treating themselves. In any case, he says he's definitely a fan of the new It-style.

The encryption on the Blackphone, Blackphone 2 and tablet is done via the Silent Circle and SpiderOak privacy and security software. Subscriptions are included for two years with each device, and they can then be renewed. As the firm explained: \u2018There is no bloatware, no hooks to carriers, and no leaky data. \u2018It puts privacy in the hands of you and your [business], without any sacrifices.\u2019 For the Blackphone 2, this software has been upgraded to version 1.1, designed to separate work apps from personal ones through the use of multiple profiles on the same device. If the phone is locked, a business can remotely lock and wipe just the enterprise profile while letting the owner take control of the private profile. Internet access is carried out through a virtual private network (VPN) that sends and receives data in a way designed to keep it hidden. When the phone boots up, it asks for a password and PIN before a wizard guides users through the security options.

+{"article": "Being in the right place at the right time is a mark of a successful Formula One driver \u2014 a truism that will almost certainly lead Lewis Hamilton to agree a new deal at Mercedes, possibly within the week. The double world champion has chosen shrewdly throughout his career by hitching himself to McLaren in the early years and then moving to Mercedes for the 2013 season, despite the aristocracy of British motor racing advising him to stick with his existing team. The importance of making the correct decision was reinforced on the podium after Sunday\u2019s Malaysian Grand Prix, when he saw Sebastian Vettel on the top step after the German\u2019s own successful move from Red Bull to Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton sits on the podium alongside Sebastian Vettel after he claimed his first victory for Ferrari . Hamilton, out of contract at the end of the season, says his new Mercedes deal will be completed this week . Hamilton, who finished second, also thought of Fernando Alonso, whose career management has been disastrous since he left Renault in 2005, the year he won the last of his two world titles. The Spaniard then walked out on McLaren when he could have won a third championship, went back to Renault as a stop-gap, joined Ferrari while it was moribund and returned to McLaren this season as they are slowly coming to terms with new engine partners Honda. Alonso managed less than half of Sunday\u2019s race before a cooling problem intervened. Vettel, in only his second race for Ferrari, won in the car Alonso had just vacated. \u2018It\u2019s nice to see Ferrari back up,\u2019 said Hamilton. \u2018I sat next to Sebastian and thought to myself, \u201cWhat is Fernando thinking?\u201d I remember when I left McLaren and came here, we were better the next year. I had a good feeling then, but he\u2019s almost done the opposite of what I did. It could have been him today. It\u2019s just strange how things turn out. Hamilton finished behind race-winner Vettel in Sepang but still remains in the lead of the world championship . Hamilton led Vettel off the start-line at the Malaysian Grand Prix but eventually lost out to the German . \u2018McLaren are a fantastic team. It looks bad now but I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll get it together. Before you know it, it will be the three of us fighting, I\u2019m pretty sure.\u2019 Alonso\u2019s predicament is a terrible shame because he was the heir who supplanted Michael Schumacher as the German approached his first retirement in 2009. Hamilton, 30, does not want to fall into the same trap, and says he is ready to sign a new contract with Mercedes for three more years beyond this season. The tantalising prospect of his joining Ferrari, where he is hugely admired by president Sergio Marchionne, seems remote. They have Vettel and Hamilton is already part of a top team. No matter Sunday\u2019s result \u2014 Hamilton beaten on pure pace by Vettel\u2019s Ferrari \u2014 Mercedes are the team of the moment.

Dominic Colella, who has resigned from the London Ambulance Service, twice 'held his colleagues to ransom' by forcing them to wait until his return before they could be driven to hospital. The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) sitting at a hearing in Kennington, south London, today ruled he was guilty of misconduct relating to two incidents in March 2013 and he was struck off the medical register. Dominic Colella, who was not present at the hearing, was found guilty of two counts of misconduct while working with the London Ambulance Service . In the first incident, an 85-year-old man who collapsed in the queue in a Marks and Spencer store from severe blood poisoning was forced to wait for 20 minutes in the back of an ambulance. Colella, who failed to turn up at the hearing, had returned to the store and came back with two full bags of shopping before driving him to hospital on March 9, 2013. The tribunal heard Colella's colleague, who was left to care for the elderly man alone, was questioned by the patient's 'anxious' wife about why her husband had not been taken to hospital. Yvonne Purves said: 'After a little bit of time I wondered where [Colella] had gone. 'The wife was understandably anxious about what had happened to her husband and was wondering why we weren't leaving to go to hospital. 'He then came back with two full bags of shopping and loaded them in to the front of the ambulance and flippantly said 'do you want to go to hospital then?'. 'Obviously, I wanted to go to hospital some time ago. I waited 20 minutes for Colella while alone in the ambulance.' The panel heard how Colella left a patient in an ambulance with a colleague for 20 minutes while he did some shopping in a Marks and Spencer (file picture) Just two weeks later, while responding to another potentially life-threatening 999 call, he delayed a 40-year-old patient with a head injury from being taken to hospital and left him in the care of a more junior practitioner so he could have his hair cut. Colella admitted abandoning his colleagues and patients, but the panel said his failure to turn up to the hearing meant they could not know if he appreciated the seriousness of his actions, meaning there was a 'risk of repetition'. Paramedic Donna Blair, who had arrived at the scene first, said she was handing over care of the patient to Colella's colleague when she noticed a nearby shopper looking 'gobsmacked'. She told the panel: 'I looked to my left and saw Dominic sitting at the hairdresser's chair with a lady putting a cape around his neck.' She told the hearing she had thought he was 'just having a joke' when he earlier asked her whether she fancied a haircut, and added that he could do with a trim himself.

The ceremony, named 'Freeing of Butterflies', attracted thousands of Chengdu citizens who eagerly awaited the release of the insects. Ten families were selected from thousands in the crowd to release the butterflies into the air. However, after the butterflies were released, many of them settled on the large stage. This resulted in excited onlookers and their children chasing and trying to capture the butterflies with many people treading on them without realising.

Obesity expert Dr Sarah Jackson said that the law should protect against weight discrimination, in the same way at it prohibits singling out people based on their age, gender or race. Dr Jackson, of University College London, spoke out after conducting two studies into the physical and psychological effects of fattism. Her latest study, of more than 5,000 British adults found that those who were made to feel ashamed of their size suffered more symptoms of depression. They also had a lower quality of life than those who didn\u2019t feel victimised. Examples of fattism included being treated disrespectfully, including being the butt of jokes, receiving poorer services in shops, restaurants, hospitals and doctors\u2019 surgeries, being threatened and being assumed to be stupid. She previously showed shaming fat people into losing weight is counterproductive. Far from shocking people into slimming, it actually leads to them piling on the pounds. It is thought fattism drives those who are already sensitive about their weight to comfort eat. Fear of ridicule may also mean they avoid exercise. With two-thirds of British women overweight or obese, jibes, taunts and simple thoughtlessness could be having a huge effect on the nation\u2019s mental and psychological health. Dr Sarah Jackson, the lead author of both studies, said that people may believe that weight discrimination is socially acceptable because unlike ageism, sexism and racism, it is not covered by law. She said: \u2018In the United Kingdom, the Equality Act 2010 legally protects individuals from discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, disability, religion or beliefs, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, or gender reassignment; making it clear that discriminatory behaviour of this nature is not to be accepted. \u2018However, our results indicate that discriminatory experiences contribute to poorer psychological wellbeing in individuals with obesity, but there are currently no laws prohibiting weight discrimination. \u2018This might send the message to people that weight discrimination is socially acceptable.

Opponents say they respect the various faith traditions but insist animal welfare must take priority - with scientific evidence clear that those that are killed without stunning feel pain. The petition - which backs calls by the RSPCA, the British Veterinary Association (BVA), the Farm Animal Welfare Committee, the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe and the Humane Slaughter Association - points out that more than 80% of halal meat in the UK is pre-stunned. 'We must differentiate between religious and non-stun slaughter. Our concern does not relate to religious belief but to the animal welfare compromise,' it states. 'Non-stun slaughter affects millions of animals. We support a good life and a humane death for all animals.' There are also concerns about large quantities of meat being sold without any indication of how the animal was slaughtered and the petition says that until a ban is imposed, consumers must be told what they are buying. In a speech last year, Prime Minister David Cameron vowed to uphold legal exemptions to animal slaughter rules for religious purposes such as Muslim halal and Jewish shechita . BVA president Mr Blackwell said: 'This is a truly fantastic result for animal welfare. 'BVA has long argued that all animals should be stunned before slaughter to render them insensible to pain and we are delighted that the British public has got so firmly behind our campaign. 'Consumers value the high welfare of British produce and care deeply about the provenance of their food. 'But under the current legislation meat from non-stun slaughter can end up in the food chain unlabelled as such, which is completely unacceptable. 'Scientific evidence tells us that non-stun slaughter allows the animal to perceive pain and compromises animal welfare. This is an issue that affects the welfare of millions of individual animals every year. 'The Government simply cannot ignore the strength of public feeling and we look forward to petitioning the Backbench Business Committee for a full debate in the new parliament.'

Now graphene is set to make its commercial debut in the form of a light bulb in a \u2018matter of months\u2019. The bulb contains a filament-shaped LED coated in the super-strong carbon and is set to go on sale late 2015. The dimmable bulb contains a filament-shaped LED coated in the super-strong carbon, which was co-discovered by Sir Konstantin Novoselov (pictured left). Here, Chancellor George Osborne examines the bulb . British researchers behind the bulb claim it will last longer and be cheaper to make than conventional LEDS, as well as slash energy use by 10 per cent. It looks like a traditional light bulb, but the graphene coating enables it to conduct electricity and heat more effectively, to facilitate the improved performance, meaning users won't have to change their bulbs as regularly. It was designed at the University of Manchester, where graphene was discovered, and will be made by Graphene Lighting PLC, a UK-registered company that\u2019s a spin-out from the university. Professor Colin Bailey, deputy vice-chancellor at the university told the BBC: \u2018The graphene light bulb will use less energy. We expect it to last longer. \u2018The manufacturing costs are lower and it uses more and more sustainable components.\u2019 The innovative product looks like a traditional light bulb, but the graphene coating enables it to conduct electricity and heat more effectively, to facilitate the improved performance. An illustration of the structure of graphene is shown, made from a honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms . Graphene is a single atomic layer of carbon atoms bound in a hexagonal network. It not only promises to revolutionise semiconductor, sensor, and display technology, but could also lead to breakthroughs in fundamental quantum physics research. It is often depicted as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds. Scientists believe it could one day be used to make transparent conducting materials, biomedical sensors and even extremely light, yet strong, aircraft of the future. Similar to another important nanomaterial - carbon nanotubes - graphene is incredibly strong - around 200 times stronger than structural steel. The university said in a statement: \u2018It is expected that the graphene light bulbs will be on the shelves in a matter of months, at a competitive cost.\u2019 This implies that the graphene bulbs may cost less than LED bulbs, which can be priced at around \u00a315.

Now one is hoping a pack of corgis will give betting on the royal birth a boost, while giving the public a clue to the sex and name of the new fourth-in-line. The 'Barkingham Palace' Gold Cup saw 10 dogs face off in race across London's Bedford Square, with a pooch named Alexandra taking first place. Scroll down for video . Winning ways: Corgi Alexandra took the title in the Barkingham Palace Gold Cup . Five of the runners taking part in the race were male and five female, with each chosen by bookmakers Ladbrokes because their names are among the most popular with punters betting on the new royal baby's name. A dog called Alexandra, a name that is currently running third in the betting, took the honours followed by Camilla (100/1) and Victoria (10/1). Among the boys, Spencer came first, despite boasting real-life odds of just 25/1, followed by James (8/1) and Boris (200/1). 'Alexandra romped to victory and it looks like Kate will soon be giving birth to a little girl next month,' said Ladbrokes' Jessica Bridge, tongue firmly in cheek.

He made the students crouch on the floor while he played on his phone and put his bare feet on their backs, People's Daily Online reported. Mr Xie, who has been a teacher for 27 years, was dismissed after the Nan'an City Education Department saw a picture on social media. The image shows both students being made to kneel on the ground in their school uniforms in front of a crowd of pupils. Mr Liu, headteacher, said Mr Xie, who is in his 40s, was supervising a small self-study group around 7.30pm when the two students were too noisy. The Year One pupils - thought to be aged between six and seven - were taken into a different room and told to kneel on the ground. Mr Liu said the footstool photo was taken as a joke and added that Mr Xie, who was in charge of disciplining the male students at the school, 'performed well in his work and was extremely talented'. Nan'an City Department of Education said it took immediate action. It requested the school apologise to students and parents, and said that student counselling should also be offered.

Governors of the Judd School in Tonbridge, Kent, admitted failing to ensure the safety of a 14 year-old boy who nearly died from head injuries after being hit with a metal shot.

Pupils were taking part in six field sports on June 20 last year. The lesson included discus, triple jump, long jump, javelin, hurdles and the shot put. But health and safety guidelines say the 1,000-pupil school should have had a maximum of four sports, with just one throwing event, going on at the same time.

The plan was only thwarted when the machine became entangled in razor wire on a security wall and was then spotted by staff at Bedford Prison. It is the first known case of a remote-controlled aircraft being used to infiltrate a British jail. The Chinese-made machine was carrying a package containing drugs, mobile phones, screwdrivers and a knife. Prison staff spotted it on the razor wire and managed to retrieve it. The plan was only thwarted when the machine became entangled in razor wire on the security wall at the jail . This is the first known case of a remote-controlled aircraft being used to infiltrate a British jail . One theory is that the 'pilot' planned to direct the drone to a spot where it could hover outside a cell window. A prisoner might then have been able to reach out and grab the illicit cargo. The miniature aircraft are already a major concern to police, who want to be given powers to seize them if they suspect they are being misused. The one flown into Bedford Prison two weeks ago was a DJI Phantom 2 Vision, which weighs just 2.5lbs but has a range of nearly half a mile. The device is fitted with a wide-angle camera and can be bought online or at an electrical retailer for around \u00a3900. A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said: 'We were called to reports that a small drone had been discovered alongside a package at HMP Bedford at 11.30pm on March 6. 'Both the device and the contents of the package are currently being examined and investigations are on-going.' The jail can contain around 500 inmates. A recent report by HM Inspectorate of Prisons said the main challenge facing staff was the prevention of 'the inward trafficking of unauthorised items, including mobile telephones and illegal drugs'. Adam Bailey, of the Association of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, said: 'It's a pretty stupid way of trying to get stuff into a prison.

A man sneaking around on his hands and knees videotaped dozens of naked girls and women in dressing rooms at one of the country's largest malls and then posted the clips on pornography websites, police said Monday. Sean Moses, who admitted what he did, is seen on a cellphone video he recorded at the King of Prussia Mall outside Philadelphia reaching under doors to videotape women changing in dressing rooms at stores including Forever 21 and Express, police said. Detectives called it one of the largest invasion-of-privacy cases they've seen in the area. They said Moses, a 37-year-old self-employed information technology worker, did it for 'self-gratification' and kept 'volumes of files on his computer known as jail bait' with videos of girls. 'You have young girls on a Saturday afternoon with their girlfriends, they go to try on some clothes and you have a pervert like this violating your personal space and your privacy,' Radnor Township police Superintendent William Colarulo said. Police arrested Moses on Monday at the Penn Valley home where he lives with his girlfriend and his 6-year-old daughter and charged him with dozens of counts of invasion of privacy and a count of child pornography. He was jailed in lieu of $500,000 bail. He couldn't be reached for comment in jail and didn't have a lawyer. Hunting through the King of Prussia mall allowed Moses to prey on women at one of the largest shopping centers in the U.S. Colarulo said detectives found the videos posted on porn sites and tracked them back to Moses. From a previous unrelated incident, Detective Thomas Schreiber learned that people engaged in these crimes tend to post the videos online. 'He did an exhaustive search on the Internet and Detective Schreiber actually located the videos that Mr. Moses took of our unsuspecting victims,' Colarulo said. At least 69 videos were filmed at the Forever 21 store and posted online, according to an affidavit of probable cause. Moses would lie on the floor of fitting rooms that had stalls that stopped about 2 feet from the floor, giving him 'easy access to record from a ground up direction,' the affidavit said. In the videos, one woman sees the camera and flashes an obscene gesture at it, and another woman takes a photo of it, but neither came forward to police. Moses allegedly posted his pictures and videos to several pornography sites . A complaint was filed by a mother and a daughter in December, but they never reported the incident to the police. A spokesman for the mall did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Police have worked to scrub the videos from the Internet, but Colarulo said they keep appearing because of the loyal following Moses had online. 'Mr. Moses had such a following on the Internet that even though these videos were removed, his fans are reposting these videos as a tribute to Mr. Moses because he actually had a fan club,' Colarulo said.", "summary": "Sean Moses admitted to taping the women at the King of Prussia Mall outside Philadelphia .

As many as 16 million motorists are set to take to the roads over Easter, with four million travelling on Good Friday and 4.5 million on Easter Sunday. Disruption to the train lines coupled with the gloomy weather forecast, has meant Britain's roads will be even busier than usual for the Easter break. Drivers could face travel misery this Easter as disruption to railways will see more people opt to use their cars . More people are planning to drive because of works on the rail network and a surge in people travelling abroad to seek sunshine . 'The first spring bank holiday of the year traditionally heralds the start of busier weekends on the nation's roads,' said RAC head of external affairs Pete Williams. He went on: 'This Easter is set to be a hectic one with 16 million of us getting behind the wheel for an Easter break, but at least we will benefit from the longer days and lighter evenings to complete our journeys.' Despite the surge in traffic, the Highways Agency (which becomes Highways England on April 1) is maintaining 55 sets of roadworks over the Bank Holiday weekend. Parts of the M1, M3, M4 and M6 likely to be hit by lane closures or speed restrictions. However, the agency said that 62 other roadworks would be temporarily lifted to ease the congestion. The increase in the number of people planning to travel by car is thought to have been in part triggered by a significant shutdown of the rail network. A string of engineering projects is expected to cause delays and overcrowding on some of Britain's busiest lines. Work is planned on three key routes - the West Coast main line, First Great Western and Greater Anglia - forcing passengers to make diversions on slower trains or spend hours on the dreaded replacement coaches. Network Rail said engineering works were planned over the Easter holidays because passenger numbers fell by 20 per cent. A spokesman told MailOnline: 'More than 90 per cent of the rail network is unaffected by our improvement work but a few lines are significantly impacted and passengers should check our website before travelling.

This is according to US scientists who have found subtle changes in the former president's speech during his term in office from 1981 to 1989. Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994, and always maintained that he would resign from his post if his mental health went into decline. Scroll down for video . Long before he was diagnoised with Alzheimer's, Ronald Reagan's speech may have contained clues to his worsening mental condition, according to a new study by the University of Arizona. This image was taken in 1991 in California, just three years before the President was diagnosed with dementia . Early detection could slow the progression of the disease before it severely damages the brain. Ronald Reagan died at the age of 93 in 2004. In 2010, a book marking the 100th anniversary of his birth included claims by his son Ron, that he saw early signs of dementia in 'an out-of-touch president' during the 1984 campaign. He says he saw those signs again in 1986 where he claimed his father could not remember the names of the familiar California canyons he was flying over. This didn't stop his adversaries claiming his tendency to forget names and make contradictory statements was the result dementia. Now researchers at the University of Arizona believe Reagan was suffering from the early onset of Alzheimer's while acting as president. They came to the conclusion after comparing transcripts of 46 news conferences that Reagan held to the 101 sessions George H. W. Bush held in his term. 'Key word counts previously associated with cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease were extracted and regression analyses were conducted,' the authors wrote. Reagan used words such as 'thing' as a trigger to recall the correct words more often Bush. He also used more repetition. The team used a new algorithm based on a technique used by others to analyse changes in writing by novelists, according to a report in the New York Times. 'President Reagan showed a significant reduction in the number of unique words over time and a significant increase in conversational fillers and non-specific nouns over time,' the researchers said. 'There was no significant trend in these features for President Bush,' they added. The findings, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, do not conclusively prove that Reagan had dementia that affected his judgment as president.

However, their ability to search collectively did not go perfectly as they tumbled and fell while trying to explore. Scroll down for video . A team in California studied ants in zero gravity on the ISS. Astronauts were asked to monitor the ants in eight habitats on the station. Nasa astronaut Rick Mastracchio is seen here observing the activities of the Ants In Space CSI-06 investigation aboard the International Space Station . The study, Collective Search by Ants in Microgravity, was published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. The ants were taken to the station in January 2014 and subsequently studied by astronauts on board. Ants inside colonies move according to internalised rules, judging how many other ants are nearby by touching antenna and using their sense of smell. Working together, the ants cover a piece of ground comprehensively to find food and supplies. When the area expands they change from moving in small circles to scuttling in straighter lines, covering more ground. But in the micro gravity of space, the ants' rules are confounded and they have to develop a new set of innate principles by which to work. These flexible principles could be adapted to instruct robots to work together in the same way, for tasks like searching a burning building. \u2018We had no idea what the ants would do. We didn't know if they would be able to search at all,\u2019 said Professor Deborah Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, to the BBC. The experiment used eight different habitats in total, with each containing 80 common pavement ants. As barrier doors between the different sections were opened, the ants dispersed to search the new area. The astronauts then recorded the habitats with an HD video camera. A control experiment was carried out on Earth, and the results - perhaps unsurprisingly - showed that those on the ground were much better at searching than those in space. In fact, the ants were not even able to explore the entirety of their habitats in space, as they found it tough to grip and dropped off the surface for up to eight seconds at a time. At any one moment, the researchers found that seven per cent of the ants were floating around.

A new paper published by a group of software engineers suggests that the internet search giant may be preparing to change the algorithms it uses to scour the web. Currently searches appear according to a complex combination of key words and links with other websites, but this fails to weed out inaccurate information. Google may be about to change the way it delivers search results to users by ranking results by accuracy . Instead a Google research team has developed a way of measuring the trustworthiness of the information contained on an internet page. If implemented it could mean that currently popular sources that regularly get facts wrong could fall foul of the new search technique. Not one to be outdone by its rivals, Google is reportedly working on a mobile payment service called Android Pay. The firm is expected to officially announce the service at its developer conference later this year. It will create a way for companies to accept transactions through their apps without having to introduce their own individual payment services. Android Pay users will then be able to upload credit card or debit card information to a single secure location but use it to pay for items across apps. And customers will be able to use it to pay for in-app purchases, goods or services with a single tap. Google is also expected to allow companies to use its Android Pay API to enable tap-to-pay options in physical stores using NFC readers, for example. In a paper to be published in the Proceedings of the Very Large Database Endowment, the Google researchers said webpages would be allocated trustworthiness scores. They said: 'Quality assessment for web sources is of tremendous importance in web search. 'It has been traditionally evaluated using exogenous signals such as hyperlinks and browsing history. 'For example, the gossip websites listed (see image below) mostly have high PageRank scores, but would not generally be considered reliable. 'Conversly, some less popular websites nevertheless have very accurate information.' 'We address the fundamental question of estimating how trustworthy a given web source is. 'Informally, we define the trustworthiness or accuracy of a web source as the probability that it contains the correct value for a fact (such as Barack Obama's nationality), assuming that it mentions any value for that fact.' Currently web searches are ranked by, among other things, the number of incoming links to a page to help Google's search bots determine the quality of the link. This, however, is really only a measure of the popularity of a webpage rather than the accuracy of the information it contains. Google researchers have developed a new algorithm that looks for facts and inaccuracies on web pages .

Experts want to release lynx, which prey mainly on deer, into woodland in Norfolk, Cumbria and Aberdeenshire as part of an ambitious \u2018rewilding\u2019 scheme. Although the animals would be introduced onto privately owned estates, the woodland would be unfenced, meaning the 70lb animals could roam free around the countryside. Lynx could be introduced into the UK countryside for the first time in 1,300 years, it emerged yesterday . Scientists argue that introducing lynx will benefit the ecosystem, by helping control the 1million UK deer population, as well as boosting the tourist economy. But the move is controversial and likely to be opposed by farmers worried about the animals savaging their livestock and game birds. Under the plan, devised by the Lynx Trust, four to six cats would be released at each site. Around the size of a large dog and with powerful claws for climbing, they will be released into areas rich in deer and trees and each will wear a tracking device so their movements can be monitored.

But there has been unease about Mr Blair\u2019s links to foreign corporations and dictatorships and candidates have been under pressure to hand back the so-called \u2018blood money\u2019. Mr Miliband is under huge pressure from his Scottish MPs to rule out a deal with the nationalists. Yesterday his deputy Harriet Harman dodged the issue eight times on the Murnaghan show on Sky. Labour energy spokesman Caroline Flint refused four times to rule out a deal with the nationalists on the Andrew Marr Show on BBC1. She said: \u2018We are focused on winning a Labour majority government. Let me say this. We do not want, we do not need and we do not plan to have any coalition with the SNP.\u2019 Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan dodged the question four times on Pienaar\u2019s Politics on Radio 5 Live and shadow Scotland secretary Margaret Curran did so nine times on the BBC\u2019s Sunday Politics.

+{"article": "California will run out of water in 12 months, according to a NASA scientist. The state only has one year of supply left in its reservoirs due to persistent drought and is also running out of backup groundwater, Jay Famiglietti, senior water scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, wrote. The drought means that total water storage in California, which has been in decline since 2002, has been sapped by the need to use the resource for farming, he said in the Los Angeles Times. Scroll down for video . Reservoirs in California such as Folsom Lake (pictured) in the state's north are now expected to run out of water in a year, according to NASA scientist Jay Famiglietti . The scientist suggested immediate water-rationing measures after a four year drought left reservoirs 34million acre-feet below normal last year . Since 2011 the state has been losing 12million acre-feet of water per year and the total amount of water in snow, rivers, groundwater and reservoirs was 34million acre-feet below normal in 2014. Famiglietti suggested immediate water-rationing measures, which are being considered in southern California, across the state. The use of groundwater for farming in the Central Valley has caused land to sink by one foot a year. Sprinklers and other landscaping accounts for 70 per cent of urban water use, according to the Sacramento Bee. Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency at the beginning of last year, though Californians only reduced their water usage by 9 per cent instead of a hoped-for 20 per cent. Beyond residents' consumpton, use of groundwater for farming in the Central Valley has caused land to sink by one foot a year. He also urged the acceleration of task forces and programs meant to ensure that California will have enough water in the future, which are currently slated to 'achieve sustainability' in 2042. The current drought in the western United States, which is entering its fourth year, is the worst in modern American history. Snowpacks in California mountains like the Sierra Nevadas, which the state relies to melt into water, have been near record lows this year. Scientists from NASA, Cornell University and Columbia University released research in February that said there could be worse droughts to come. Above, a water regulator looks at a plant irrigation system .

Researchers looked at data on 8,399 US adults and initially found evidence to support the proverb. They discovered that those who had one small apple a day had a nine per cent lower chance of visiting the doctor several times a year. However when they adjusted their statistics for other factors, their conclusions changed. The University of Michigan researchers adjusted for ways that \u2018apple eaters might be very different from everyone else,\u2019 such as how they were less likely to smoke and be more educated. Eating an apple a day does not actually keep the doctor away - but it might stop you going to your pharmacist. Apple eaters were less likely to use prescription medicines, researchers found . Considering those factors, the study found that people who eat an apple a day were just as likely as everyone else to go to doctors. They were also just as likely to stay overnight in a hospital or visit a mental health professional. Apple eaters were, however, less likely to use prescription medication. Of the 8,399 adults who took part in the study 753, or nine per cent, ate an apple a day while 7,646, or 91 per cent, did not. Lead author Matthew Davis, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan's school of nursing, said: \u2018Our findings suggest that the promotion of apple consumption may have limited benefit in reducing national health care spending. \u2018In the age of evidence-based assertions, however, there may be merit to saying: \u2018An apple a day keeps the pharmacist away.'\u2019 Apples have long been known to promote good health and contain vitamin C, which aids the immune system. They also reduce tooth decay by cleaning the teeth and may even protect your brain cells from conditions like Alzheimer\u2019s. The proverb about eating an apple a day can be traced back to Pembrokeshire in the 1860s where it was said by locals. Apple eaters were less likely to use prescription medicines, less likely to smoke and more educated than non-apple eaters, researchers found . The original version is said to be: \u2018Eat an apple on going to bed, and you\u2019ll keep the doctor from earning his bread\u2019. Over the years it became: \u2018An apple a day, no doctor to pay\u2019 and: \u2018An apple a days sends the doctor away\u2019. The modern use of the phrase was first recorded in 1922. Wendy Brannen, director of public relations for the US Apple Association, said that the research should not put people off eating apples. She said: \u2018While we appreciate the University of Michigan (a top apple-growing state, by the way) took the time to put the \"apple a day\" adage to the test, it's foolish to even imply you shouldn't enjoy a daily apple for your health when centuries of advice and stacks of current research would imply otherwise.\u2019", "summary": "Nurses wanted to know if 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' was true .

Every year in the UK, 10,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer, and of that half will die from the disease. But experts are today rallying behind a new campaign Shout Out About Bladder Cancer, to raise awareness and vital funds to develop research. It comes as researchers at the University of Birmingham believe a new and simple test could help determine how aggressive a patient's disease is, allowing doctors to tailor individual treatment plans. The scientists, who estimate treating the disease currently costs the NHS \u00a365 million a year, found being able to reliably identify those patients with the most aggressive cancers early after diagnosis 'significantly improved outcomes'. They identified two biomarkers in the urine which they believe can predict a patient's prognosis.

Three charities, Action On Bladder Cancer, Fight Bladder Cancer and The Urology Foundation are leading the campaign. It aims to raise funds to invest in bladder cancer research . Dr Douglas Ward, from the University of Birmingham, said: 'There is an urgent need for prognostic biomarkers that could guide patient management. 'If such a test could be delivered, in a non-invasive way, it could make treatment much more efficient and that can only be a good thing.' The Shout Out About Bladder Cancer campaign has been launched by three charities, Action On Bladder Cancer, Fight Bladder Cancer and The Urology Foundation. It aims to raise public awareness of the 'Cinderella disease', in a bid to prevent thousands of 'unnecessary' deaths each year. Louise de Winter, chief executive of The Urology Foundation (TUF), said: 'At TUF we became very aware that bladder cancer is the Cinderella disease which people shy away from talking about. 'We were receiving fewer applications for research into bladder cancer and wanted to make a push to encourage people to do more research into this area. 'By working together with the other charities we believe we can create more awareness of the disease and hopefully provide more funding for research.' 'Progress is being made but we need it to be made faster,' she added. Her colleague in the fight against bladder cancer, Andrew Winterbottom, founder of Fight Bladder Cancer, and a patient of the disease himself, warned that the chances of surviving the disease are 'getting worse'. Smoking is known to be the biggest cause of bladder cancer. The most common symptoms are blood in your wee, frequently needing a wee, recurring urinary infections and abdominal or back pain .

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein's ruling on Friday gives the government, which has fought the case for over a decade, two months to decide whether to appeal before the photos could be released. The American Civil Liberties Union has been seeking to make them public in the name of holding government accountable. The fight over the photographs reaches back to the early years of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it invokes the images of abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq that sparked international outrage after they emerged in 2004 and 2006. This image shows an unidentified detainee standing on a box with a bag on his head and wires attached to him at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. A federal judge has ordered that more pictures of inmate abuse must be shared by the US military . 'To allow the government to suppress any image that might provoke someone, somewhere, to violence would be to give the government sweeping power to suppress evidence of its own agents' misconduct,' said Jameel Jaffer, ACLU deputy legal director. 'Giving the government that kind of censorial power would have implications far beyond this specific context.' The Defense Department is studying the ruling and will make any further responses in court, spokesman Lt. Col. Myles Caggins III said. Early in the 2004 lawsuit, the ACLU pointed to the Abu Ghraib photos as priority examples of records the organization was seeking on the treatment of detainees. It's unclear how many more photographs may exist. The government has said it has 29 relevant pictures from at least seven different sites in Afghanistan and Iraq, and it's believed to have perhaps hundreds or thousands more, Hellerstein said in a ruling in August. He said some photos he had seen 'are relatively innocuous while others need more serious consideration,' and he has ruled that any images that would be released would be redacted to protect the identities of people in them. Some photographs, taken by service members in Iraq and Afghanistan, were part of criminal investigations of alleged abuse. Some images show 'soldiers pointing pistols or rifles at the heads of hooded and handcuffed detainees,' then-Solicitor General \u2014 now Supreme Court Justice \u2014 Elena Kagan wrote in an appeal to the high court earlier in the case, which has taken a long road through the courts and Congress.

Prime Minister Habib Essid has told state news agency TAP that Khaled Chaieb, also known as Abou Sakhr Lokman, was killed overnight in an operation in the Gafsa region near the Algerian border. Chaieb is believed to be a prominent militant in al-Qaida's North African arm and is described as one of Tunisia's 'most dangerous terrorists.' He was one of nine armed militants killed in an operation on Saturday evening. Chaieb is suspected of leading or helping lead the March 18 attack on the National Bardo Museum which saw 21 people, mostly foreign tourists gunned down. Police killed two of the gunmen who are said to be Tunisians in their 20s, who had trained in Libya. Security officials have claimed the militants were members of the Okba Ibn Nafaa Brigade, a jihadist group. Authorities have arrested several people in connection with the attack - dubbed the worst in Tunisia in 13 years. CCTV footage of the shooting shows the gunmen roaming free around the museum. The lack of security at the country's largest museum has since been called into question. The news comes as tens of thousands of Tunisians marched through the capital Tunis in a solidarity protest today. French President Francois Hollande confirmed yesterday that Huguette Dupeu had died from her injuries following the attack. Mr Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and several foreign ministers and officials from other countries are joining an anti-terrorism ceremony in Tunis after the march.

More than one in ten children (12 per cent) aged 12 to 13 have made or been part of a sexually explicit video, according to new research. Nearly one in ten (nine per cent) of children in the age group are worried that they are addicted to porn, a survey of nearly 700 children for the NSPCC's ChildLine service found. And around one in five (18 per cent) said they have seen porn images that have shocked or upset them. Dame Esther Rantzen, the founder of ChildLine, said that children as young as 11 had contacted the service with concerns about pornography. She said: 'Young people are turning to the internet to learn about sex and relationships. 'We know they are frequently stumbling across porn, often unintentionally, and they are telling us very clearly that this is having a damaging and upsetting effect on them. 'Girls in particular have said they feel like they have to look and behave like porn stars to be liked by boys. 'We absolutely have to talk to young people about sex, love, respect and consent as soon as we feel they are ready, to ensure that they gain a proper perspective between real life relationships and the fantasy world of porn.' Peter Liver, director of ChildLine, said children reported that watching porn made them feel depressed, gave them body image issues and put pressure on them to engage in sex acts they are not ready for. A report by charity ChildWise in 2013/14 revealed that website Pornhub was among the top five favourite sites named by boys aged 11-16. And young people post approximately 18,000 messages regarding exposure to porn on the ChildLine discussion forums every month. Mr Liver said: 'The Government recently proposed plans for children aged 11 upwards to be taught about rape and sexual consent as part of PSHE in schools. 'This would include discussion around what they have learnt from watching pornography. 'Across society, we need to remove the embarrassment and shame that exists around talking about porn - which is why we have launched a ChildLine campaign to help young people to make more informed choices.' Around one in five (18 per cent) children aged 12 to 13 said they have seen porn images that have shocked or upset them . ChildLine has created the Fight Against Porn Zombies (FAPZ) campaign to tackle the problem. It will use animations to illustrate the implications of exposure to porn in both boys and girls. Ruth Sutherland, chief executive of Relate relationship support charity, said: 'We very much welcome ChildLine's new campaign, particularly because we know that children and young people do not feel that adults understand the online issues they face.

More than 1,200 cases of scarlet fever have been reported since the start of 2015, with \u2018steep increases\u2019 across the country, say health officials. Some 1,265 new cases have been recorded in England in the first six weeks of the year, with over 300 cases reported last week, according to data from Public Health England (PHE). Officials say the number is above typical levels for the high season of scarlet fever between March and April. Last year in England, over 14,000 cases of scarlet fever were recorded, the highest total since the late 1960s. Scarlet fever is a highly contagious bacterial illness that causes a distinctive pink-red rash which feels like sandpaper to touch. Dr Theresa Lamagni, PHE\u2019s head of streptococcal infection surveillance said: 'As we enter into high season for scarlet fever, we ask GPs and other frontline medical staff to be mindful of the current high levels of scarlet fever activity when assessing patients. \u2018Prompt notification of cases to local health protection teams is critical to enable local monitoring and rapid response to outbreaks. \u2018Schools and nurseries should similarly be mindful of the current elevated levels of scarlet fever and promptly inform local health protection teams at an early stage if they become aware of cases, especially if more than one child is affected.\u2019 The first symptoms of scarlet fever include a sore throat and fever which may be accompanied by a headache, nausea and vomiting. Between 12 to 48 hours after this, a characteristic fine, sandpapery rash develops, often appearing first on the chest or stomach. Cases are more common in children although adults of all ages can also develop scarlet fever. Individuals who think they or their child may have scarlet fever should consult their GP, said Dr Lamagni. Symptoms usually clear up after a week and in the majority of cases remain reasonably mild providing a course of antibiotics is completed to reduce the risk of complications. As scarlet fever is highly contagious, children or adults diagnosed with scarlet fever are advised to stay at home until at least 24 hours after the start of antibiotic treatment to avoid passing on the infection. Symptoms include a sandpaper-like rash which can appear within 12 to 48 hours of catching the illness (file image)", "summary": "More than 1,200 cases of scarlet fever reported since beginning of 2015 .

A hallmark of American life - griping about work - has landed a Florida man in a Middle Eastern jail. Ryan Pate, a helicopter mechanic from Belleair Bluffs, Florida, took to Facebook after a dispute over sick leave with the company he was working for in the United Arab Emirates. He was home in Florida at the time, but when he returned to Abu Dhabi last month, he was told to report to the police station, where he was arrested for breaking an Emirates law on slandering his employer. He spent about 10 days in jail, he said, and is now free on bail awaiting a March 17 trial. His supporters say he faces up to five years in prison and a steep fine if convicted. 'I just couldn't register it in my head because as an American growing up in the United States, the First Amendment right is just ingrained in my brain,' he said in a phone interview Wednesday. 'I never even entertained the fact that I would wind up in prison out here for something I put on Facebook in the United States.' Pate, 30, said the incident stemmed from a trip to Florida in December. During his return he spent the holidays with family and proposed to his girlfriend, Jillian Cardoza, but also was trying to get treatment for a back injury. There was disagreement with his bosses about extending his leave to see a doctor, he said, and after a particularly unsatisfactory phone call with them, he took to a Facebook. He says he can't remember precisely what he wrote, but knows he called his bosses 'backstabbers' and warned other contractors not to work for them. He didn't give the rant much thought until he was back in the Persian Gulf, where he planned to handle paperwork to end his employment as well as empty his apartment and sell his car. Soon after, he says he received a call from police telling him to come to the station, where officers showed him screen shots of his comments. Pulled apart: Pate (left) had just proposed to his girlfriend Jillian Cardoza (right) when he was arrested by authorities in the UAE. His trial is set to begin on March 17 . 'I'm being arrested. I'm so sorry. I love you,' Cardoza said he texted her from the station. Pate's congressman, Rep. David Jolly, intervened on his constituent's behalf, lobbying the State Department and Emirates officials for help. In a letter to the Emirati attorney general, Jolly emphasized respect for the sovereignty of the country, but argued because the posts occurred while Pate was on American soil, those laws shouldn't apply. 'It is deeply troubling that Mr. Pate now faces judicial proceedings over an action that was done legally in his home country,' the Republican said.

+{"article": "Is your libido flagging? If so, then a lack of sleep may be the reason why, researchers claim. A study has found a direct relationship between how much sleep a person gets and their level of desire the next day. The amount of shut-eye also affects how aroused they will become. The study, involving 171 women, showed that each additional hour of sleep increased the likelihood of sexual activity with a partner by 14 per cent. Poor sex drive? Getting more sleep is directly linked with an increase in libido, new research has shown . Sleep was also important for genital arousal, according to the research, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Specifically, women who slept longer experienced fewer problems with vaginal arousal than those who obtained less sleep. 'The influence of sleep on sexual desire and arousal has received little attention in the field,' said Dr David Kalmbach, of the University of Michigan. 'But these findings indicate that insufficient sleep can decrease sexual desire and arousal for women. He added: 'I think the take-home message should not be that more sleep is better, but that it is important to allow ourselves to obtain the sleep that our mind and body needs.' And it's not just women - previous research found men with poor sleep patterns have significantly lower levels of testosterone, which results in a lack of sex drive. Experts say that reduced levels of the hormone can bring a host of other negative consequences for young men, including reduced libido and poor reproduction. They can fail to build enough strength through muscle mass and bone density, leading to low energy levels, poor concentration and fatigue. Low testosterone levels are also linked to the metabolic syndrome - a cluster of metabolic risk factors that increase the chances of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Scientists from the University of Chicago found men who get less than five hours sleep a night for a week or longer suffer have far less levels of testosterone than those who get a good night's rest. The study showed that each additional hour of sleep increased the likelihood of sexual activity with a partner by 14 per cent - and increased levels of arousal . Their study found that the levels of the hormone are reduced dramatically to levels more akin to someone 15 years older. 'Low testosterone levels are associated with reduced wellbeing and vigour, which may also occur as a consequence of sleep loss,' said Professor Eve Van Cauter, who led the study. Other reasons for low libido include poor diet, being overweight and low iron levels. An estimated one in four British women doesn\u2019t get enough iron from their diet, and iron deficiency is known to leave your libido lagging, says Dr Radha Modgil, a GP in West London with a special interest in sexual health. \u2018Low iron levels are thought to reduce the quality of blood flow and so sap energy,\u2019 she explains. \u2018If you\u2019re exhausted, sex is obviously the last thing you feel like doing.\u2019 \u2018The best source", "summary": "Each additional hour of sleep increased the likelihood of sexual activity with a partner by 14 per cent, say University of Michigan researchers .

Dr Aric Sigman believes men are an 'untapped army' in the fight against body dissatisfaction who could offer a different perspective on the issue. He argues that contrary to popular views, men tended to have a 'much kinder take' on female body fat, eating and sex appeal than many women. And instead of regarding men as 'the cause of the problem', they should be allowed to counteract the view that 'female body fat is unattractive and disliked by males'. Male pupils should be encouraged to tell their female counterparts that curves (which Kim Kardashian is famous for) and body fat are attractive, a child health expert has said . Dr Sigman, a specialist who advises schools, will address a closed gathering of PSHE teachers as part of a HMC Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference professional development programme. He will tell them that men are crucial to addressing the problem in schools. He will say: 'Addressing this problem must extend beyond the 'learn to love your body' and 'media literacy' lessons in the classroom to include more input from the men in a girl's life. 'Men are an untapped army who need to become aggressively vocal about the culture and messages bearing down on their daughters, partners, sisters and female friends. 'Men have a very different and much kinder take on female body fat, sex appeal, eating and weight loss. 'Knowing what men think can actually serve as an antidote to the prevailing assumptions that feed body dissatisfaction.' Last year, the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) found hospitals were dealing with a rising number of eating disorder cases, with the biggest rise among youngsters aged ten to 19. Dr Aric Sigman believes men are crucial in the fight against negative body image and should be used to counteract the view that \u2018female body fat is unattractive and disliked by males\u2019 Body image is already routinely tackled in schools as part of personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) classes. Dr Sigman argues men are sometimes slow to become involved in this delicate subject because they were traditionally seen as the cause of the problem. He will say: 'Today men are in a position to countercheck the prevailing highly damaging generalisation that female body fat is unattractive and disliked by males. 'This is not replacing one prescriptive view of the ideal female form with another.

A powerful statin carries a high rate of harmful side-effects including an increased risk of diabetes, a leading campaigner warns today. There is growing evidence of weak benefits along with serious problems with rosuvastatin although it is the best statin for lowering cholesterol, says Dr Sidney Wolfe. He is the founder and senior adviser to the US civil rights body Public Citizen\u2019s Health Research Group, which attempted to get the drug banned ten years ago because of muscle and kidney problems. Since then, evidence had continued to mount about the drug\u2019s poor benefits, he claims. British experts have said statins are safe and effective, with protection against heart attacks outweighing possible side-effects. One has reassured patients on rosuvastatin, saying they should continue taking it. Statins are the most commonly prescribed group of drugs in the NHS and given to between eight and ten million adults. They include those with cardiac disease or at risk of a heart attack or stroke. Initial approval of rosuvastatin to prevent heart attacks in a very select group of people was based on a study which was stopped early, says Dr Wolfe. This led to concern that the effects may have been over-estimated, he adds in an editorial in The BMJ medical journal. A review of trials showed that the drug, also known as Crestor, was linked to a 25 per cent extra risk of diabetes compared with a placebo, he says. Crestor was the most prescribed brand name drug in the US last year and accounts for around four per cent of NHS prescriptions for statins. Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: \u2018Patients taking rosuvastatin should not stop taking it. They are on it for a very good reason. Statins are the most commonly prescribed group of drugs in the NHS and given to between eight and ten million adults . \u2018This opinion piece raises more questions about pharmaceutical marketing and prescribing practices in the US than the safety and use of statins in general. \u2018Rosuvastatin is more expensive than other statins and is one of the least commonly prescribed in the UK. 'It is generally prescribed for a small number of people at high risk of a heart attack or stroke and who cannot tolerate the older statins or have not had the desired reduction in cholesterol levels on them.\u2019 Dr Wolfe adds that worldwide 2013 sales of the medicine were \u00a35.5billion, the third highest for any branded drug. He accuses advertising campaigns of exploiting its potency despite \u2018long-standing, continuing evidence of rosuvastatin\u2019s comparative lack of clinical benefits and increasing evidence of risk\u2019. The drug\u2019s patent expires in 2016 and he expresses hope this would lead to a sharp decline in its use. The NHS estimates statins save 7,000 lives a year.

The findings come three months after a grand jury refused to indict officer Darren Wilson over the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown on August 9 last year.

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said Wilson approached Brown because he was 'walking down the middle of the street, blocking traffic'. The 18-year-old was shot on Canfield Drive less than five minutes later. Some witnesses claim Brown had his hands up in surrender when he was shot - something that has been contested by others. The incident caused widespread protests. Businesses were looted and set fire to in Ferguson and hundreds attended demonstrations in St Louis, Washington, Oakland, Atlanta and Los Angeles. A grand jury decided not to indict Wilson on November 25 last year - but the results of the report by the Justice Department have not been expected until this week.

The education and child protection watchdog had given a clean bill of health to the town where as many as 2,000 children were exploited by gangs. Yesterday a Parliamentary committee probing Ofsted\u2019s work there called for urgent inspections of every council in the country with responsibility for child protection \u2013 to ensure large-scale abuse isn\u2019t being ignored elsewhere.

The Commons education committee said little evidence of radicalisation had been found and \u2018confidence in Ofsted has been undermined, and efforts should be made by the inspectorate to restore it\u2019. Meanwhile, the Rotherham report pointed to Ofsted inspectors repeatedly labelling child protection in the town as \u2018adequate\u2019 \u2013 yet they were tied to their paperwork and had no idea what was really going on. Instead, the inspectors simply accepted what they were told by local officials, and didn\u2019t ask searching questions. \u2018Ofsted does not appear to have probed beyond what it was told, and it failed to penetrate the professional jealousy and incompetence that distorted the operation of children\u2019s social care in Rotherham,\u2019 stated the report. It also described Ofsted\u2019s habit of calling the efforts of councils like Rotherham adequate as \u2018ambiguous\u2019. While Ofsted thought \u2018adequate\u2019 meant that improvement was needed, outsiders, including councillors, thought it meant \u2018satisfactory\u2019. \u2018Rotherham appears to have gone a step further and interpreted it as indicating a strong performance.\u2019 The MPs added that Ofsted was operating in a way that meant its different inspectors and departments did not discuss their findings with each other \u2013 and inspections of councils like Rotherham were \u2018too short and narrowly focused\u2019.

Little Jayden Taljaard took the model handgun - which does not fire or make a noise - to a regular Friday class where pupils can bring their own toys. But staff called the police after three teachers reported feeling 'threatened' by the replica. It emerged today that Jayden has been immediately suspended from Selwood Academy in Frome, Somerset, and has been told he could be permanently excluded. Jayden Taljaard, pictured with his mother Natasha Taljaard, was sent home from school and now faces potential expulsion after he took an orange toy gun in for a 'golden hour' session in his class . A police officer is due to visit the youngster at home to warn him of the dangers of firearms. But Jayden's stepfather Kevin Pleasants said the schoolboy had made a simple mistake and the issue has been 'blown out of all proportion'. The 56-year-old construction worker said: 'We were totally unaware that a bright orange toy gun that doesn't fire anything would cause so much mayhem. 'We have a policeman coming to the house to give him a lecture on the dangers of firearms - he's 10, it's ridiculous. 'It's being blown out of all proportion. We had no idea about the school's policy on toy guns. It's a simple mistake. 'He asked his mother if he could take a toy to school. She didn't let him at first. He explained about golden time and took the gun. 'Three teachers said they felt threatened by this gun. Could they not see it was bright orange and plastic?' Jayden's parents have hit out at the school's actions after teachers said they felt 'threatened' by the gun . They insist the gun does not fire or make a noise and teachers 'blowing the incident out of all proportion' Jayden's school holds the so-called 'Golden Hour' sessions for the last hour of every Friday where pupils are allowed to bring in a toy of their choice. But Jayden was suspended after taking in the replica weapon on February 27 and told not to return until Monday 9 March. At meeting on Wednesday evening, his mother Natasha was then told his exclusion could be made permanent. Jayden suffers from ADHD and other learning difficulties but was making good progress at the school since joining in September, according to his parents. Mr Pleasants, from Frome, added: 'He was supposed to go back on Monday but my partner had a meeting at the school and they said he might not be allowed back. 'He was doing fine at the school. He brought an award home for very good behaviour. I framed it and it is on his wall.' The school has brought in the police over the incident and officers will now talk to the 10-year-old boy . Selwood Academy has not commented on its threat to expel Jayden other than to say it will handle the issue 'internally' Mr Pleasants added:", "summary": "Jayden Taljaard was suspended after teachers felt 'threatened' by toy .

Retired Air Force General Scott Gration was US ambassador to Kenya for 13 months between 2011 and 2012, departing after a scathing performance report blasted his leadership style and determined that he created security risks by running his own one-person IT department. The report determined that Gration 'assumed charge of the mission\u2019s information management operations,' in Nairobi, and 'ordered a commercial Internet connection installed in his embassy office bathroom so he could work there on a laptop not connected to the Department email system.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS AND GRATION'S PERFORMANCE REPORT . OUSTED: Scott Gration (left) was special envoy to Sudan before he spent 13 months as ambassador to Kenya; he was forced out after an inspector general report found problems with his performance \u2013 including the use of unauthorized commercial email services to conduct government business outside of secure channels . EMAIL-GATE: Hillary Clinton never used an official government email address as secretary of state, relying on a private server at the same time her agency was forcing Gration out for, among other things, doing the same . He also tried to legitimize his actions by writing new policy and distributing it to the embassy staff, saying the use of 'commercial email' for government business was acceptable. Gration, the State Department's Office of Inspector General wrote, 'continued to use commercial email for official government business' even when investigators were digging into his conduct. The report noted that he seldom logged on to his official State Department email account; The New York Times later reported that he 'preferred to use Gmail for official business.' Clinton, the odds-on favorite to be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2016, came under fire this week for using a private email account \u2013 not a State Department 'state.gov' address \u2013 to conduct government business. Her aides, and Obama administration colleagues \u2013 including White House personnel \u2013 reached her at 'hdr22@clintonemail.com' for the four years she was America's top diplomat. The revelation has led to accusations that the former secretary failed to turn over all her communications for archiving, as the Federal Records Act requires. Additional questions have swirled around potential national security risks posed by having sensitive material flowing through unsecure channels. Scott Gration lasted just 13 months as an ambassador before his management style and data security breaches ended his State Dept. career . Clinton helmed the State Department through the entirety of Gration's tenure as ambassador. The State Department did not respond to a request for comment about parallels between her case and Gration's. But the 2012 IG report spelled out a policy that it appears Clinton herself failed to follow. 'It is the department's general policy that normal day-to-day operations be conducted on an authorized information system, which has the proper level of security controls,' the report read.

In a study looking at the private life of the deep-sea crab known as the 'Hoff' have found that the males and females spend separate lives at volcanic vents 1.5 miles deep near Antarctica. This, according to the British research, is because of the conflicting demands of feeding and raising young among the sexes. Males of a species of crab, nicknamed after David Hasselhoff because of their hairy chests, spend separate lives from the females, according to new research. In a study looking at the private life of the deep-sea crab known as the 'Hoff' have found that the males and females spend separate lives at volcanic vents . The Hasselhof crab was discovered in 2012 living around volcanic vents off South Georgia. It is a type of yeti crab recognised for their hairs, or setae, along their and limbs that they use to cultivate the bacteria which they eat. The new are slightly different in that they exhibit long setae on their undersides. They were named after actor David Hasselhof because of his hairy chest. Despite living apart from females, the males live in remarkable density. In some places, scientists say the crabs reach as many as 600 individuals per square metre. In 2010, a British expedition revealed a 'lost world' of deep-sea animals including the crab named after the Baywatch star thriving on the ocean floor near Antarctica. Using a deep-diving remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to examine the distribution, size and sex of these crabs at the vents, Dr Leigh Marsh and colleagues from the University of Southampton have now pieced together their private lives. Dr Marsh said: 'The life cycles of deep-sea animals have been largely hidden from us until now but thanks to more frequent expeditions and advances in technology, we are getting a clearer picture of the natural history of the ocean depths that cover most of our world.' The researchers found that large male Hoff crabs live highest on the mineral spires of the deep-sea vents, closest to the hot fluids that jet from them. A university spokesman said: 'At the base of the mineral spires, smaller males mingle with females in spectacular piles, many crabs deep, where they get together to mate. 'The females then crawl away from the bustling piles of crabs and the warm mineral-rich fluids seeping from the seafloor, which can be toxic to their young. 'Away from the mineral spires, the few crabs found by the researchers were all females, carrying developing offspring under their curled-up tails. Males don't share in 'child-care' arrangements with the females, and can climb up the mineral spires of the vents to take advantage of the warmth and conditions best suited for growing bacteria on their hairy chests .

Why wait? If anything, replays are detracting from the excitement of the competition, and the format of what is currently the Capital One Cup is an anomaly. It should not take FIFA\u2019s monstrous destruction of football\u2019s calendar to make the English game see sense. By chance, there were no replays in the FA Cup fifth round this year and they were not missed. The great Cup shocks of this campaign have all happened on the day, inside 90 minutes. David Gill suggested removing cup replays, and he has a point, even if it it has taken Qatar to make it happen . Cambridge United were excellent to earn a replay against Manchester United, but lost the second game . That is when Bradford City beat Chelsea and Sunderland, when Middlesbrough eliminated Manchester City, when Blackburn Rovers beat Swansea City then Stoke City. A few lower division tussles aside, all the games that went to replays went with form. Manchester United defeated Cambridge United, Sunderland won at Fulham, Liverpool came from behind to beat Bolton Wanderers and Southampton won against Ipswich Town. Replays favour the bigger teams anyway. If Cambridge could have taken Manchester United to extra-time, and maybe to penalties, on a crummy pitch at a boisterous Abbey Stadium, who knows what might have happened? Heading to a decider at Old Trafford, their moment had passed. Jonathan Stead's goal against Chelsea was part of a shock that re-affirmed the FA Cup's giant killing tradition . Bradford celebrate their win at Stamford Bridge, and didn't need a replay to upset the Premier League leaders . We cling to tradition, but tradition had teams playing replay after replay until they could be separated. Those encounters had an epic feel. In 1979, Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday needed five matches \u2014 including three that went to extra-time \u2014 lasting nine hours before they could be torn apart. The second replay ended 2-2, the third 3-3. Arsenal won the fourth 2-0. That is the true gladiatorial tradition of the FA Cup, but it is unthinkable with modern fixture congestion. So as the shoot-out that completes the first replay is in itself a compromise, why is it needed at all? Middlesbrough also caused an upset, by beating Manchester City, but replays rarely lead to shocks . Smaller clubs might be better rewarded if games were decided on the night by a penalty shoot-out . A game decided on the day, one hit, with extra-time and penalties, would go some way to restoring tension and drama. When the FA has to alter its company accounts because the FA Cup sponsorship deal confidently included by former general secretary Alex Horne has not materialised, it is ridiculous to pretend the current format is a winner.

What a fantastic goalkeeper, I played with David Seaman and he was a very good goalkeeper but for me Schmeichel was another level. Just the fact that, one on one's, normally when somebody goes through on the goalkeeper you just pray that they're going to save it but you just knew Schmeichel was going to save it, so we'd always set up a counter-attack because we knew he would. He could also throw the ball as far as he could kick it and the amount of times we would get get corners against us, he'd pluck it and release it to Giggs and Kanchelskis and we'd score goals. Best goalkeeper in the world during his time. RIGHT BACK: JAVIER ZANETTI . He is a great player. Zanetti joined Inter Milan the same time as me and he was just awesome. He was just a young kid but he just slotted into the way we played. The reason I put him in ahead of Gary Neville is because Javier can play in different positions and I always want players who can be flexible and what ever position he played in - he was world class. He was unbelievable. CENTRAL DEFENDER: TONY ADAMS . Colossus. Proper centre half. Men-of-men. In our England team we were all men, we were all big characters and big men but he was men-of-men. He was a leader and he inspired people around him. People say he wasn't the best passer but he wasn't that bad. His volley against Everton showed he could play. He wasn't the quickest but his timing of tackling. He was a brilliant organiser, he's top draw. Peter Schmeichel was labelled as the best goalkeeper in the world by former team-mate Paul Ince .

Laziest man you'll ever meet in football, if you did running he'd be at the back, when you finished training he'd be the first out of the door. I used to go round his house and he'd be playing on his PlayStation eating Malteasers.

She said: 'My partner and I first met at an Irish pub in Texas. 'We both very much enjoy drinking craft beer, visiting breweries, and sampling the local beers in every city (and country) we visit.'

+{"article": "Politicians in California are demanding millions in funding to add more cells to the state's death row - because it has run out of room. The wing at San Quentin prison has continued to fill up with condemned men because there have been no executions in nine years. There are 751 convicts awaiting their fate, but a moratorium was put on lethal injections in 2006 following complaints of inadequate anesthesia and cramped conditions inside the dated death chamber - which has since been updated. Overcrowding: Governor Jerry Brown is demanding $3.2million in funding because California's death row at San Quentin prison (pictured) has run out of room - even though there have been no executions in nine years . Yet more than 160 people have been sentenced to die since. The delay was lengthened in 2014 when a federal judge ruled that the capital appeals process in the state is so slow that it constituted cruel and unusual punishment - because executions were so unlikely and random. But with plans to appeal the ruling, Governor Jerry Brown is asking the state legislature for $3.2million so he can add 100 cells, The LA Times reported. California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton told the Daily Mail Online: 'State law mandates that male condemned inmates be housed at San Quentin State Prison. 'This project is to ensure that San Quentin will have enough beds to accommodate a growing condemned inmate population.' The demand for more space comes despite the dramatic fall in the Californian prison population. Low-level drug offenders and thieves are being released because of new legislation introduced last year - meaning more cells are being made available. Condemned men are held in San Quentin in California's bay area, which has a capacity of 715, while the 20 women awaiting execution are housed at the Central California Women's Facility near Chowchilla. Update: The state's new and execution chamber in San Quentin was opened in 2010, but it is yet to host an execution following a string of legal decisions . The men are housed separately to the general population, but would have been overflowing if a 25-cell psychiatric ward for death row inmates hadn't been added last summer. A budget proposal seen by The Times predicts 20 new death row inmates arrive every year. The funding would go towards the revamping of a block inside the main prison - beefing up security and updating the showers so inmates can be cuffed while they wash. The last person to be executed in California was frail 76-year-old Clarence Ray Allen in January 2006.

Architect Andrew Kinslow told Daily Mail Online that the plan 'has kind of taken on a life of its own' after it was released late last month. Plans for the funnel cloud-shaped tower currently range from 20 to 30 stories, and would multiple floors would feature outdoor terraces. Mr Kinslow said that the garden floors were designed to look like tree debris being carried away by the twister. The building's similarities to its real-life counterpart also include LED lights on the outside that would be spaced to give drivers on a nearby highway the illusion that the structure was spinning. A restaurant on the top floor would also spin counter-clockwise, the direction of tornadoes. Mr Kinslow said that they have been contacted by multiple potential investors interested in finding out more details about the project. The firm says that the reaction has been largely positive and that two Tulsa City Councillors have already voiced support. The funnel cloud building would hold a weather museum, multiples gardens, a revolving restaurant and a research center . While the design of the building may make it look likely to be blown over in the famously strong Oklahoma winds, its creators say the structure would be stable. A solid core would go up the middle of the building with elevators and bathrooms, according to Fox23. The building would also feature a 360-degree rotating restaurant on its top floor, and the revolving action seems appropriate given the tower's swirling inspiration. Architects say office space could be easily added and classrooms in its base could help teach visitors about weather safety. 'If you think of St Louis, you think of the Arch. In Seattle, you think of the Space Needle. Tulsa's one of those places where nobody thinks of anything but Indians and dust. And well, maybe tornadoes,' Kinslow said. Tornado Tower, which does not yet have a client to build it, would be held up by a strong core section with elevators. It would be located near the BOK Center (left), a 19,000-seat arena . Tornado Tower would be visible from most of the downtown Tulsa area, and the architect said his team was looking to make 'an elegant looking building'. The state of Oklahoma saw more than 80 tornadoes in 2013, though the number did not reach the 145-tornado record set in 1999, according to the National Weather Service.", "summary": "Kinslow, Keith and Todd came up with idea to rejuvenate downtown space .

Thirty-five 'fins' run up and down the 40-story structure that hold 250,000 diffused LED's. Bruce Ramus, creative director of the project, said every half hour the building will communicate the next day's weather forecast, while during the remaining time it will be like a 'light house' communicating the 'feel' of the weather through light. Scroll down for video . The building will communicate the next day's weather forecast as well as reflecting the current 'feel' of the weather . 250,000 LED bulbs are responsible for the flickering lights that can be programmed to look like rain or wind . 'Essentially, if the weather changes, so will the lights,' he told Daily Mail Australia. After spending eight years living in Melbourne Mr Ramus said he noticed Melburnians had a peculiar obsession with the weather and thought it could be possible to 'bring light to a community' in a way that articulates what it actually feels like to be there. During the day it will appear to be a normal building but as the sun goes down and the city is plunged into darkness, you will really see the effects of the lights. 'There's a lot of movement available to this lighting system so if it ever gets windy down in the Docklands, the lights will move directionally with the wind. Every half hour, tomorrows weather forecast will wrap around the building . 'The movement isnt physical but the way we can program the lights means there will be a sense of gentle but apparent movement,' he said. He explained that by experimenting with the lights programming he can take a cool blue and introduce a shadow that can make it appear as if the building is moving, as rain would. The light show will be based off weather data sent through by the Bureau of Meteorology. Don't expect the building to look like the weather forecast app on your phone though as Mr Ramus wants the building to echo more than the temperature. 'It's not necessarily about what the light does but how it makes you feel.' 'We really want to explore how a cool change feels, or the breaking sun feels,' he added. Visionary: Mr Ramus wants architecture to reflect nature and humanity instead of the static concrete jungle we see today . Mr Ramus said light is a language everyone can understand because we don't understand it through our brains, but instead feel and understand it through our bodies. 'When you see a blue light, you might not be able to describe it but you get how it feels. Light is a language we don't have to think about,' he added. Mr Ramus said he wanted to bring a feeling of movement that's engaging so buildings can start to relate to people and reflect humanity.

Petit, who was part of Wenger's team at Tuesday night's opponents Monaco before joining him at Highbury in 1997, won the double under the Frenchman the next year, and has known the Arsenal boss for three decades. But as well as praising his former manager's work ethic, the former Gunners star, 44, also questioned Wenger's stubbornness and inability to switch off. Arsene Wenger is preparing to take Arsenal back to his old club Monaco in the Champions League . Petit (right) worked with Wenger at both clubs, but says his former manager has a striking fault . 'He's a workaholic, someone who lives for the job,' Petit told France Football. 'He has a passion, almost pathological, for football. He almost forgets to live his own life. He never disconnects. 'For 35 years he has coached, I've know him for nearly 30, and he has never changed. He has another flaw: he does not recognise when he is wrong.' Petit revealed that, at times of stress, Wenger can be found walking barefoot around the training ground to get back in touch with nature. 'He has tics,' the Premier League winning midfielder continued. For example, when he's fuming and needs to think, he must walk barefoot in the grass. He needs to be in contact with the elements, like in The Matrix!' Petit signed for the Gunners in 1997, alongside Marc Overmars (right), and won the double under Wenger . The Frenchmen celebrate winning the league in 1998, but Petit has said Wenger can be too stubborn . However, the former Gunners midfielder did praise Wenger's man management and his work ethic . Wenger's great strength, however, according to Petit, is his ability to get the best out of his players by understanding them on a personal level. 'Before you are even interested in the football player, he is interested in the individual,' said Petit. 'He attaches great importance to human relations. He is very attentive to detail.' Petit departed Arsenal in 2000 for a short stint at Barcelona, after playing just one season with the man who would go on to become the club's record goalscorer, Thierry Henry. But Petit was quick to stress that his compatriot, who has been working back at the club while doing his coaching badges, should not be talked about as Wenger's successor yet. Thierry Henry, Arsenal's record goalscorer during two spells at the club, has been tipped to succeed Wenger . But Petit says Henry, who was part of the 2004 Invincibles, should not be thought of as a manager yet . 'It's way too early to tell [if Henry can succeed Wenger],' he told RMC Sport.

A woman who changed the sex-shop industry died last week at her home in Manhattan. Dell Williams, owner of sex-shop Eve's Garden, passed away last Wednesday, a friend confirmed to the New York Times. Williams started the first sex shop catered to women from her home in the early 1970s, after having an awkward interaction with a male sales clerk when she tried to buy a vibrator at Macy's. In the four decades since that fateful encounter, Williams has made it her life's work to help women become more comfortable with sexual expression. A former actress, advertising executive and Army WAC, Williams took a workshop on sex from legendary instructor Betty Dodsen in the 70s, who recommended she buy a Hitachi Magic Wand. The Magic Wand is designed as a personal massager, and available in most department stores, but Dodsen said it could also be used as a vibrator. But when Williams went to pick up the product at a Macy's she ran into a 'pimply 20-something' male salesmen who made her uncomfortable about the purchase. 'What do you want it for?' he asked Williams. 'I left Macy\u2019s that day, clutching my precious, anonymous brown shopping bag and thinking: Someone really ought to open up a store where a woman can buy one of these things without some kid asking her what she\u2019s going to do with it,' Williams wrote of the experience. Williams store first started off as mail-delivery only, but grew to include a brick-and-mortar location in Midtown New York and a website. Pioneer: Williams founded Eve's Garden after having an uncomfortable experience buying a vibrator at Macy's. Pictured on the left during her years in the Women's Army Corps . Today, Eve's Garden sells vibrators, flavored condoms and bondage kits. Williams' approach to selling sex toys has helped turn it into a multimillion-dollar industry today with several chains now dedicated to female shoppers. Williams became somewhat of a talking head for women's liberation issues after starting her store, and was often called upon my newspapers and TV shows to give her opinions on the feminist issues of the day. When asked about the 2003 Britney Spears song about masturbation called 'Touch of My Hand, Williams said: 'In the past 50 years or so, even as the medicinal and moral fears of masturbation have ebbed, the stigma still remains \u2014 and that\u2019s what is shameful. Hopefully, Britney\u2019s honesty and her song can help women overcome feelings of embarrassment and instead embrace something so natural.' Williams was born Dell Zetlin in Manhattan in August 1922, and grew up in the Bronx. She had a brief wartime romance, which ended in a painful abortion before enlisting in the Women's Army Corps in 1945. During the war she performed on Army radio broadcasts and in a touring WAC musical.

Manor drivers Will Stevens and Roberto Merhi are expected to compete in Malaysia . 'Bernie just misses nothing, does he? He has been kept aware at every stage of the process,' replied Booth.

In 1849 she escaped her owners, fleeing north and then subsequently made several missions to rescue friends and family, who remained enslaved, by using a network of safehouses known as the Underground Network. After the American Civil War she continued to be an advocate for education and joined early campaigns for women's equality and suffrage. Others on the list include Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her seat on a bus sparked the modern civil rights movement and Eleanor Roosevelt, a former first lady. The faces on American bank notes have remained the same since 1929, but President Obama has signalled he would be open to change. Civil rights activist Rosa Parks, left, and former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who are also on the shortlist to appear on the $20 bill . Currently, the $20 bill features the face of seventh US president Andrew Jackson, who became much maligned due to this treatment of Native Americans . The campaign, is hoping that if it is successful, a note featuring a woman would go into circulation by 2020. Petition organiser Barbara Ortiz Howard told CBS: 'There are no women on the money and I thought gee this is a crazy omission.' The petition mirrors a similar campaign in the UK to get Jane Austen as the face of a \u00a310 note after a public outcry that every banknote featured a man. The Bank of England governor Mark Carney unveiled the new design as a tribute to \u2018one of the greatest writers in English literature\u2019 which will appear from 2017, replacing naturalist Charles Darwin. A similar campaign in the UK will see a \u00a310 note, pictured, with the face of author Jane Austen on it go into circulation in 2017 . The announcement was hailed as a \u2018brilliant day for women\u2019 by journalist Cristina Criado-Perez, who had led a high-profile campaign on social media to ensure a female face would remain on banknotes after the Bank dropped social reformer Elizabeth Fry from the \u00a35 note in favour of Winston Churchill.

According to Ms McPhillips, she never sees her boyfriend's daughter and insists that having a child is a 'basic human right for a woman'. Charlotte Mcphillips, 23, pictured with partner Robert was told as a teenager she would be unable to conceive naturally because she has polycystic ovary syndrome .

But the couple were left devastated when NHS officials told them they were not eligible for IVF because Robert has a child, four-year-old Eleanor, from a previous relationship. Dr Peter Green, chief officer for the Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, sent a letter telling the couple they weren't eligible. 'The eligibility criteria states that where either partner in a couple has a living son or daughter from their relationship or any previous relationship, funding is not available through any of the CCGs in the NHS across Kent and Medway,' he wrote. 'This is irrespective of the age or place of abode of their son or daughter.' The barmaid said she intends to fight the decision denying her the chance to be a mother . 'It is heart-breaking that I can't have children and it was even more devastating when I was told I couldn't have IVF,' says Ms McPhillips. 'Time is running out because I may not be able to produce eggs in a few years' time so I am more determined than ever to get this sorted.'

+{"article": "Scientists have revealed a huge breakthrough in the search for life on other planets. Nasa's Cassini spacecraft has provided scientists the first clear evidence that Saturn's moon Enceladus exhibits signs of present-day hydrothermal activity - similar to that seen in the deep oceans on Earth. If confirmed, it would make the moon Enceladus the only other known body in the solar system besides Earth where hot water and rocks interact underground. Hydrothermal activity occurs when seawater infiltrates and reacts with a rocky crust and emerges as a heated, mineral-laden solution, a natural occurrence in Earth's oceans. According to two science papers, the results are the first clear indications an icy moon may have similar ongoing active processes. Cassini team member Sean Hsu of the University of Colorado in Boulder used spacecraft observations and computer modeling to show that the plume is connected to what's happening on the lunar sea floor. Judging by their size and makeup, the team believes particles in the plume are the result of hot water coming into contact with rocks on the ocean floor. The resulting mineral-rich water then shoots up through the icy crust and erupts into space in a plume of gas and ice. Some particles settle around Saturn, replenishing its biggest ring. That activity would make the moon an even more attractive place in the hunt for microbial life. On Earth, scientists have found weird life forms living in hydrothermal vents on the ocean bottom where there's no sunlight. The implications of such activity on a world other than our planet open up unprecedented scientific possibilities, Nasa said. 'These findings add to the possibility that Enceladus, which contains a subsurface ocean and displays remarkable geologic activity, could contain environments suitable for living organisms,' said John Grunsfeld astronaut and associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. 'The locations in our solar system where extreme environments occur in which life might exist may bring us closer to answering the question: are we alone in the Universe.' Hydrothermal activity occurs when seawater infiltrates and reacts with a rocky crust and emerges as a heated, mineral-laden solution, a natural occurrence in Earth's oceans. According to two science papers, the results are the first clear indications an icy moon may have similar ongoing active processes. The first paper, published this week in the journal Nature, relates to microscopic grains of rock detected by Cassini in the Saturn system. An extensive, four-year analysis of data from the spacecraft, computer simulations and laboratory experiments led researchers to the conclusion the tiny grains most likely form when hot water containing dissolved minerals from the moon's rocky interior travels upward, coming into contact with cooler water. Temperatures required for the interactions that produce the tiny rock grains would be at least 194 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius). 'It's very exciting that we can use these tiny grains of rock, spewed into space by geysers, to tell us about conditions on -- and beneath -- the ocean floor of an icy moon,' said the paper's lead author Sean Hsu, a postdoctoral researcher at", "summary": "Experts describe 'remarkable' discovery on Saturnian moon .

How long it takes you to get married is entirely individual but when one person is gagging to get up the aisle and the other has no intention of going there, there are clearly questions that need answering. Staying with someone who\u2019s using you as a stop-gap until their \u2018true\u2019 love comes along isn\u2019t healthy; staying with someone who loves you but doesn\u2019t want to get married for justifiable reasons is entirely different. Tracey Cox reveals the signs to look out for to work out whether your partner is 'the one' But how do you know who\u2019s holding out for better and who\u2019s genuine, albeit marriage shy? There are the seven key questions to consider, according to relationship therapists - and two you need to ask yourself. 1. What\u2019s their background and relationship history? It is often used as an excuse but the \u2018I don\u2019t believe in the institution of marriage - it\u2019s just a \u2018piece of paper\u2019\u2019 is understandable if based on past experience. A previous failed marriage can make people cynical about a repeat performance. If your partner\u2019s parents had a toxic marriage, treated each other badly and were desperately unhappy, it\u2019s hardly surprising they\u2019re not keen to follow in their footsteps. Their fear isn\u2019t about getting married, it\u2019s fear of it ending in a messy, painful divorce. Are they happy discussing marriage even if not happy doing it? If you can\u2019t sit down and have an open, honest discussion with someone you love about something that is important to you, you shouldn\u2019t be marrying them in the first place. If a partner refuses to even talk through the topic, it shows a distinct lack of interest in you and your feelings which isn\u2019t a great indicator for a healthy, long-term relationship. 2. Can they tell you the reason why they\u2019re not interested? It\u2019s a huge red flag if their answer to \u2018Why don\u2019t you want to marry me?\u201d is \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d. Usually one of two things is going on. They\u2019re avoiding telling the truth - they don\u2019t want to marry you - or it suggests a lack of self-awareness and ability to articulate feelings. Neither are indicative of a healthy functioning relationship. 3. Do they have a problem with the actual ceremony? One couple I knew nearly split because the guy refused to discuss marriage even though he was desperately in love with his partner. He nearly lost her before admitting that, as a shy person, the thought of being the centre of attention and having to make a speech in front of dozens of people scared him witless. Think about anything else about the ceremony they might be dreading. 4. Does the thought of all their family being together in one room make them want to run for the hills?

Schools, hospitals and refugee camps are seen destroyed in towns and cities such as Aleppo, Kobane, Homs and ISIS' de facto capital Raqqa since the country was torn apart in 2011. Initially a battle between various armed rebel groups and the Syrian regime forces, the Syrian Civil War has since descended into a conflict with hundreds of frontlines, as rebel groups fight among themselves and ISIS and Al Qaeda-backed terrorists seize vast swathes of land. Scroll down for video . Before: This photograph showing the area around Aleppo's old citadel was taken of November 21, 2010 - a year before the Syrian Civil War broke out . And after: On October 22, 2014 - less than four years after the above image was captured - the area around Aleppo's citadel is seen largely destroyed . Monument: This photograph taken on October 12, 2011 shows the elaborate shrine to ancient Islamic icons Uwais al-Qurani and Ammar Ibn Yasser in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa . Destroyed: The monument - which lies in ISIS-held territory - was sadly destroyed by militants in 2013 who said it distracted from the veneration of Allah. This photograph was taken on October 6, 2014 . The satellite images form part a UN report due for release tomorrow that will present analysis of the impact of four years of war on the Middle Eastern nation. UN investigators used their satellite program UNOSAT to gather the startling photographs which, according to an advance statement detailing the report, document 'indiscriminate attacks on civilian population, including barrel bombing, destruction of schools, hospitals, residential areas, markets, power plants and the vast cultural heritage of Syria.' Comparing images taken shortly before the start of the war in 2011 with those captured in recent months, the UN has been able to show the geographical changes caused by relentless fighting between various groups, as well as the displacement of an estimated 6.5 million people. The images emerged as the Syrian air force has carried out a chlorine gas attack on a northern town, killing six people, according to activists, as Amnesty International said separate government air strikes on the Islamic State 'capital' could amount to war crimes. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Co-ordination Committees said gas attacks on the town of Samrin injured dozens more people.

Target: Holes in the ground around Dura-Europos reveal the extent of looting in the area by April 2, 2014 . An opposition official in the area of this morning's chlorine gas release said there were two attacks - the first targeting rebels while the second hit a residential area. He said the six killed were members of the same family, including three children.

The campaign is encouraging workers to write 'Race Together' on cups and strike up conversations about race as they serve customers their coffee.

'Some in the media will criticize Starbucks for having a political agenda,' he said. 'Our intentions are pure.' Speaking on CBS This Morning on Thursday, he added: 'This is a highly charged, highly emotional issue, we understand that.

A Polish woman repeatedly jailed for violence in her home country stabbed and nearly killed a man after moving to Britain unimpeded, a court has heard. Anna Marczuk-Franczak, 39, served at least three prison stretches in Poland for a series of attacks dating back to 2002. But after being released from her most recent sentence in eastern Europe, she moved to Britain and attacked a man with a 30-inch kitchen knife in Nelson, Lancashire. A judge in Preston has now jailed Marczuk-Franczak for two years for the stabbing, whose victim suffered a 10cm-deep wound to his chest. The crown court heard Marczuk-Franczak had invited Piotr Kolodziejski and his girlfriend, Magdalena Swistowksa, to her home in Nelson to celebrate the Feast of St Anna last July. But the celebration quickly sour as Marczuk-Franczak became 'melancholy', complaining that her husband was still in Poland and a current boyfriend was also away, the court heard. After a row broke out, Marczuk-Franczak armed herself with a 30-inch kitchen knife and stabbed Mr Kolodziejski to the chest. The knife thrust 10cm downwards from his neck into his chest cavity narrowly missing his vital organs. Mr Kolodziejski was rushed to hospital and was saved by doctors, being left with a 12-inch scar. Marczuk-Franczak later told police Kolodziejski had started hitting his partner after a few drinks and she had intervened. She claimed that she had only picked up the knife to defend herself but admitted she had been 'waving it around'. She said she later saw blood on the knife but does not know what happened to it. The knife was never recovered. Mr Kolodziejski said in a statement that the attack had a 'significant impact' upon him. He said he struggles to zip up his clothing and shave. He also has problems sleeping and has become 'anxious and stressed, paranoid that someone may lunge at him', the court heard. The court heard that Marczuk-Franczak has served at least three prison sentences for violence in Poland. The court heard Marczuk-Franczak had served three prison sentences for violence in her native Poland . In 2002, she was convicted of theft and causing minor bodily injury and received a one-year prison sentence. The following year she was convicted of causing minor bodily injury and received 18 months in prison and got a further 18 months in May 2004 for the same charge. Marczuk-Franczak was jailed for two years this week after she was found guilty of wounding Mr Kolodziejski. Passing sentence, Judge Andrew Woolman said: 'This incident arose out of a dispute initially between the victim and his girlfriend, he was violent towards his girlfriend. 'I accept that he was violent towards you and he subjected you to a significant attack which caused extensive bruising to your body. I have seen the photos and I sentence you on the basis that it was the victim who caused the injuries to you.

Health minister Leo Varadkar said he is working to pass the emergency laws within 24 hours. 'We had no way of knowing what the court would decide today, but we prepared for this possibility,' he said. The possession of ecstasy is temporarily legal in Ireland because of the knock-on effect caused by a Court of Appeal ruling striking down a ban on methylethcathinone . The move was necessary after a decision by the Court of Appeal on a challenge to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977. The case dealt with the powers of the Government to control substances harmful to human health. The three-judge court unanimously said a regulation making the possession of methylethcathinone - also known as 4-mec or snow blow - illegal was invalid. Because of the way the laws are drawn up, the ruling had the knock-on effect of temporarily legalising the possession of some other drugs. The Dublin government said the outcome of the case did not affect existing laws on heroin, cocaine or cannabis. While the case dealt with the legality of possession of named substances, their sale and supply remains an offence. 'Legislation was prepared and approved in advance by cabinet,' said Mr Varadkar.

+{"article": "Stone Age farmers in Italy cut the flesh from the bones of their dead before burying them, a new study has found. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have 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. Many bones, such as this fibula, found in the Scaloria Cave showed fine cut marks made with stone tools . Archaeologists leading the research believe cleaning of the dead was probably the culmination of a protracted multi-stage burial process. Dr John Robb, a reader in European prehistory at the University of Cambridge, and his team say it might have been a way of returning the bones to their stone like origins. In 3,800BC a young couple were buried together in a final embrace that was hoped to keep them together for all eternity. Now the remains of the man and woman - who are said to have died in their twenties - have been uncovered in the Diros Caves in the Peloponnese region of Greece. An archaeologist leading the excavation of the \u2018underworld\u2019 cavern described the find as \u2018stunning\u2019 and said it is possibly the oldest grave ever found in the country. The remains were initially unearthed in 2013 and have now been analysed using radiocarbon dating. The results of the analysis showed the bones belonged to a man and a woman, both aged between 20 and 25, dating back almost 5,800 years. The cavern is known as Alepotrypa - or 'foxhole' - and was found in the 1950s. Experts believe hundreds of people lived inside Alepotrypa before the entrance collapsed burying everyone alive. They say that many of the stalactites in the cave resemble bones themselves and the floor of the cave is littered with long, thin broken stalactites. 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. Writing in the journal Antiquity, Dr Robb and his colleagues said: 'Neolithic people at Scaloria Cave engaged in a varied range of funerary practices including primary burial, skull removal and redeposition, and defleshing and secondary deposition. 'If we suppose that stalactites were understood as equivalent to bones on a stone-like plane of existence, then cleaning bones and returning them to the stalactite-filled cave may have been understood as returning the bones to an eternal place where they came into being, the conclusion of a cycle of temporal incarnation. 'Conversely, the water that formed 'stone bones' in the cave (stalactites) and hence bones in the living may have been understood as spiritually powerful or nourishing.' Scaloria Cave stretches deep underground and is composed of at least two main chambers. It was completely sealed off until its discovery in 1931, when human remains, stone tools and broken pottery were discovered inside.

In a stunt worthy of the latest Bond movie SPECTRE \u2013 for which the firm is supplying many of the cars \u2013 the new Jaguar XF was revealed during a dramatic 'high-wire' water crossing in the heart of London's business district. The feat took place high over the Royal Dock in London's Canary Wharf today. Scroll down for video . The new Jaguar XF compact sports saloon traverses the high-wire during its incredible unveiling in London today . The vehicle was driven across the wires by British stuntman Jim Dowdell, a veteran of action stunts in the Bond and Indiana Jones films . Dowdell drove the Jaguar XF 240m across a high-wire (pictured) to demonstrate its lightweight aluminium construction . Jaguar teamed up with expert stuntman Jim Dowdell \u2013 a veteran of dramatic action stunts in movies including the Bond and Bourne series, as well as Indiana Jones, to perform 'a world first high-wire water crossing' in the all-new aluminium-intensive Jaguar XF using wires just over an inch thick. Dowdell drove the all-new Jaguar XF 240metres across a high-wire to demonstrate the new XF's lightweight aluminium-intensive construction and agility. A Jaguar spokesman said: 'The dramatic drive across two 34mm-diameter wires suspended high above water, highlights the lightweight and agile credentials of the new XF.' The high-wire feat is also a fitting symbol for the sort of high-wire act Britain's Jaguar is performing for real to take on far bigger German rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The company's new XF sport saloon promises 'business class' levels of comfort and refinement with a new generation of frugal engines. It is being built at Jaguar Land Rover's Castle Bromwich factory in Birmingham. Following its high-wire reveal, it makes its official global debut at the New York motor show on April 1 before going on-sale from Autumn 2015. Jaguar says the new XF is 80kgs lighter than its closest competitor thanks to its aluminium-intensive construction. This has helped create fuel efficiency of more than 70mpg with CO2 emissions of 104g/km: 'This is the lowest CO2 emissions of any non-hybrid model in the segment.' Engines include a frugal new 2.0litre 163 horse-power Ingenium diesel to a 380 horse-power V6 supercharged petrol.

As a result it only goes through on of the slits, rather than both. Professor Howard Wiseman at Griffiths University, who worked with the University of Tokyo, made measurements to show what Einstein did not believe to be real - namely the non-local collapse of a particle's 'wave function'. According to quantum mechanics, a single particle can be described by a wave function that spreads over large distances, but is never detected in two or more places. This phenomenon is explained in quantum theory by what Einstein disparaged in 1927 as 'spooky action at a distance.' This is the instantaneous collapse of the wave function to wherever the particle is detected. It happens because physicists believe the universe behaves like a little probability wave.

Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III has refused to step down in the midst of rising calls for his resignation and a scathing Department of Justice report that has already cost the jobs of six city employees . A Justice Department investigation found patterns of racial bias in the Ferguson police department and at the municipal jail and court. Knowles said he will stay to see the city through the changes it must make . Justice Department officials found from 2012 to 2014 that black motorists in Ferguson, Missouri, were more than twice as likely as whites to be searched in traffic stops, even though they were 26 per cent less likely to be found carrying contraband. African-Americans were 68 per cent less likely than others to have their cases dismissed by a municipal court judge. And from April to September of last year, 95 per cent of people kept at the city jail for more than two days were black, the six-month inquiry found. Of the cases in which the police department documented the use of force, 88 per cent involved blacks, and victims of the 14 dog bites recorded by the department all were black. Overall, African Americans make up 67 per cent of the population of Ferguson, about 10 miles north of downtown St. Louis. Critics believe Knowles had to have known about the widespread racial profiling and bias that the Department of Justice report revealed was occurring in both the Ferguson police department and the city's municipal court. The city's manager, police chief and a municipal court judge are among the people who have since been fired or stepped down.

Scroll down for video . Parents have been warned about using amber necklaces to relieve teething in children . 'If the pressure on her neck had been in a slightly different point, it\u2019s unimaginable,' she said. The amber necklaces, which are widely available through health food stores and chemists are said to have been worn for centuries to reduce teething pain. Retailers claim that when they're worn close to the skin, the amber beads release succinic acid which relieves pain. But the Therapeutic Goods Administration states there is no evidence amber necklaces offer any relief from the symptoms of teething and in 2011, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission issued a warning on the necklaces. They posed two potential hazards strangulation and choking, the ACCC said. After testing several products, it found the necklaces could break and release small parts 'which could result in choking hazards to children under three'.

A doctor has had his license suspended after bizarre, sexually-fueled behavior at work, says the state Department of Heath. Dr. Arthur Zilberstein's 'preoccupation with sexual matters' including using medical images for sexual gratification and having sexual encounters at his workplace led to his license being suspended by the Medical Commission on June 5, 2014. Seattle Pi reports that a subsequent hearing reviewing the charges led to the indefinite suspension. Zilberstein must undergo a mental and behavioral evaluation and pay a $5,000 fine. He will be able to peitition for the reinstatement of his medical license only after he completes the mandated evaluation and recommendations. The anesthesiologist, from Seattle, Washington, also allegedly sent explicit texts while performing C-sections and naked selfies to a patient at Swedish Medical Center where he worked. The charges said some of the pictures were 'depicting himself in hospital scrubs, wearing his hospital badge and exposing his genitals'. Washington state health authorities said 47-year-old Zilberstein repeatedly compromised patient safety between at least April 2013 and August 2013.

Hunt Brothers Pizza provides gas stations and convenience stores with ingredients and start up equipment but doesn't charge franchise fees. As a result it now boasts more U.S. sites than either Domino's or Pizza Hut, with 7,300 locations in 28 states. As well as the convenience factor, customers apparently love the taste. Scroll down for video . Loyal fan: Roy Bruce, owner of the Rightway Foodmart poses for a photo in front of a Hunt Brothers Pizza display in Andersonville, Tennessee . 'It beats Pizza Hut and Domino's,' said 23-year-old Brittany Bunch, who buys Hunt Brothers about once a week during breaks from her job at a water damage company. 'It's just got more flavor. It seems like, with the others, you're getting cardboard.' While Hunt Brothers may be unknown in many households, it runs television ads during NASCAR races and cable outdoors shows. For several years, it has sponsored Kevin Harvick, who won the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup. On a recent morning at 10:40am, Roy Bruce, who owns Rightway Foodmart in Andersonville, Tennessee, started sliding Hunt Brothers pizzas for the lunch rush into a conveyor-belt oven. Easy-to-make: Each pie starts out frozen, a crust with sauce and a layer of cheese . Build your own: Employees can add fresh pepperoni, extra cheese and other toppings . Tasty treat: The result after about five minutes in the 525-degree oven is a bubbling-hot pizza with browned toppings that tastes comparable to the big delivery chains' pizzas .

The result after about five minutes in the 525-degree oven is a bubbling-hot pizza with browned toppings that tastes comparable to the big delivery chains' pizzas. In about an hour, Bruce sold that first pizza and another one in two-slice $2.99 'hunks' from a countertop warming display near his cash register. Pizza customers included a UPS delivery driver, a woman on her way to lunch with her daughter and a guy in camouflage who confessed he was just coming from the liquor store. In a typical Hunt Brothers arrangement, Bruce said he paid about $10,000 for his oven, freezer, display case and other equipment and now just pays the Nashville, Tennessee-based company for the pizza ingredients. Hunt Brothers, which is privately owned, fine-tuned this approach starting in the early 1990s when four brothers who'd worked separately in the restaurant industry joined forces to sell pizzas to convenience stores. Hunt Brothers had 750 locations by 1994, said Keith Solsvig, its vice president for marketing. 'Convenience stores in rural areas were the hub,' Solsvig said in a phone interview.

An international lawyer faces ruin after admitting dodging more than \u00a323,000 in rail fares. Dr Peter Barnett, 43, was told he could be jailed after police discovered he spent more than two and a half years cheating the system. He gave himself up after being caught by a ticket inspector travelling from his home in an Oxfordshire market town to London\u2019s Marylebone station. Investigators discovered the Oxford graduate and Rhodes scholar regularly pretended to have travelled from Wembley instead to save himself huge sums.

On Friday, he pleaded guilty at Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court to six counts of fraud by false representation, carrying a maximum penalty of ten years in jail.

Jonathan Burrows was banned from working in the City last year after avoiding \u00a343,000 in train fares from his home in Stonegate, East Sussex.

He claimed to have travelled from Wembley, in North West London, instead of Thame, Oxfordshire, where he and his wife live in a \u00a3550,000 five-bedroom detached home.

Right, how the Mail reported the story in August 2014 . 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 that the lawyer had dodged fares since April 2012. It is understood that he did so by boarding a train at Haddenham and Thame Parkway without a ticket. He then got off at Marylebone, tapping out with an Oyster card. Because there was no start point to his journey, the automated system charged him the maximum Transport for London fare, which is currently \u00a37.60. But this is still far less than the \u00a319.80 price of a single peak time journey from his home. It was the same ruse employed by Burrows, who was caught out when his train company realised he had not bought a season ticket since 2008. Barnett\u2019s train operator, Chiltern Railways, claims he now owes them more than \u00a323,000, which he has agreed to pay back.

Thanks to the European Space Agency you can listen to these sounds - and more - recreated by processing data from various spacecraft. The amazing collection of clips include some that have been artificially amplified to be audible to humans, and others that are simply as they originally sounded. The recent launch of a Soyuz rocket that took two European satellites into orbit can also be heard in one amazing clip. It took off from French Guiana at 9.46pm GMT on Friday 27 March (pictured), carrying two satellites that will expand Europe\u2019s Galileo system . The various noises from space are shared on Esa's esaops Soundcloud page. One clip uses audio data collected by the Huygens probe as it descended onto the surface of Saturn's moon Titan on 14 January 2005. The spacecraft carried with it acoustic sensors on the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (Hasi), which recorded the surroundings as the probe descended. According to Esa they \u2018give a realistic reproduction of what a traveller on board Huygens would have heard during one minute of the descent through Titan's atmosphere.\u2019 With its thick atmosphere and organic-rich chemistry, Titan resembles a frozen version of Earth several billion years ago, before life began pumping oxygen into our atmosphere. Because Titan is smaller than Earth, its gravity doesn\u2019t hold onto its gaseous envelope as tightly, so the atmosphere extends 370 miles (595 kilometres) into space. As on Earth, the climate is driven mostly by changes in the amount of sunlight that comes with the seasons, although the seasons on Titan are about seven Earth years long. Titan's \u2018water\u2019 is liquid methane, CH4, better known on Earth as natural gas. Regular Earth-water, H2O, would be frozen solid on Titan where the surface temperature is -180\u00b0C (-292\u00b0F). With Titan's low gravity and dense atmosphere, methane raindrops could grow twice as large as Earth's raindrops. As well as this, they would fall more slowly, drifting down like snowflakes. But scientists think it rains perhaps only every few decades. One clip uses audio data collected by the Huygens probe (illustrated) as it descended onto the surface of Titan on 14 January 2005.

A Maryland woman who stood by while her husband horrifically whipped, shook and kicked his grandson to death has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors say Melissa Dawn Brittle, 38, of Thurmont, Maryland, encouraged husband Raymond Brittle to punish two-year-old Robert Dean Watkins - who was staying with the Brittles and their three children at the time. Robert died in a Washington, DC, hospital on September 8, 2013 following injuries that State's Attorney Charlie Smith called the most horrific he has ever seen, according to the Frederick News-Post. Mrs Brittle waited until the next day to take the unconscious boy to the hospital. She told police that Robert had fallen down the stairs. Mrs Brittle's lawyer argued that she was terrified of her emotionally abusive husband and intimidated into covering up his violence against little Robert. Defense attorney Mary Drawbaugh told Daily Mail Online that Brittle had no job, no high school diploma and no driver's license.

Drawbaugh asked for a 12-year sentence, the lowest end of the sentencing spectrum for the case, arguing that Mrs Brittle helped bring about her husband's guilty plea and had been prepared to testify against him. Mrs Brittle faced up to 40 years in prison under a state law that says failing to report child abuse also constitutes child abuse.

He is scheduled to be sentenced next week. Prosecutors say he routinely beat and battered Robert while he was caring for his grandchild. On September 5, he became enraged at the boy when he wouldn't eat dinner. He whipped the children with a belt and kicked him. Investigators say he also lifted the boy by his head and shook him.

Lord West of Spithead said Russian espionage had soared to a \u2018worrying\u2019 level as president Vladimir Putin ordered more acts of \u2018provocation\u2019. Equipped with hi-tech surveillance, the converted fishing boats have been seen in the international waters of the North Sea by Nato aircraft.

In a show of strength, Putin deployed 45,000 troops, more than 56 warships and submarines, and 110 aircraft for training across the country and into the Barents Sea \u2013 dwarfing Nato military drills which will be held off Scotland next month. Lord West, a military grandee, said the five-day drills were a \u2018knee jerk\u2019 reaction to a similar Nato operation announced by Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday.

Mark Jones, 45, is accused of attacking newborn Amelia Rose Jones three times, fracturing her skull and ribs, and causing swelling to her brain. The infant was taken to hospital in 2012 after her grandfather Jones rang 999, saying she had simply stopped breathing in the lounge of his daughter's three-bed terrace house in Pontnewydd, south east Wales.

Trevor Smith, known by his stage name Trevor Hancock, was found drowned in a lagoon at a disused quarry near his home in Derbyshire on January 6 this year. One day earlier, the 42-year-old had been discharged from a week-long stay in hospital, after undergoing surgery for self-inflicted injuries. As he was being discharged, a nurse at the hospital also gave him the devastating news about his father's death. Just one hour later, a concerned friend had reported Mr Smith missing, a call which triggered a day-long manhunt for the actor. Officers found his mobile in his home, which contained pictures of the quarry where his body was discovered the following day. It later emerged that Mr Smith, who had also appeared in Emmerdale and Hollyoaks, had been overwhelmed by his career, stress and his sexuality in the months before his death and suffered from 'dark moods'. Mr Smith, who was born in Middleton, Greater Manchester, had been admitted to Sheffield's Northern General Hospital on December 30 after his friend phoned 999 over concerns for his welfare. The inquest heard how he had sent a text to a young student actor whom he 'had taken under his wing' saying: 'Sorry I have to go now. You're the only one who can do this.' The message to Tom Lewin also asked him to phone police, as well as the people he wanted to contact about his death. After Mr Lewin phoned the emergency services for help, police smashed down Mr Smith's door and found him unconscious in the bathroom. When they revived him, Mr Smith told officers he did not want to be saved. In hospital, the actor underwent surgery for his injury, before both of wrists were put in casts. He was also assessed by psychiatrists, who were happy for him to leave hospital, under the proviso he was monitored by the community mental health team.

The male badger was found in an outdoor toilet in Beaminster in Dorset and was admitted to RSPCA West Hatch Wildlife Centre in Taunton, Somerset with wounds to its neck and rump. Experts believe the animal is likely to have been injured in a fight over its territory because females usually give birth in February and are ready to mate again straight away - leading to fierce competition between males. A rare albino badger was taken to a rescue centre after being found with deep bite wounds to its neck and rump, believed to have been caused by fighting over territory during the current mating season . RSPCA wildlife centre supervisor Paul Oaten said: 'Albino badgers are fairly rare so to have one admitted to the centre only happens once in a blue moon. 'This poor badger came in to us with territorial bite wounds on his neck and rump, but other than that he is in good condition. 'He has been seen by the vet and had the wounds cleaned up and will be undergoing a course of antibiotics.' Mr Oaten said it was common to see badgers with these type of wounds during the breeding season. The injured animal was rescued as dozens of badgers have been born in Somerset, in time for Spring. Staff at Secret World Wildlife Rescue in Somerset are caring for three badger cubs which need feeding around the clock. The first cub, named Little Star, has grown from 80g to over a kilogram since being rescued and cared for by the centre.

Mother-of-two Jayme Smith, 28, from Sydney, became a confidant of Ms Gibson's after they met on a parenting discussion page on Facebook around 2010. They forged an online friendship and confided over their experiences with cancer - Ms Smith having lost her mother to lung cancer in 2003 and Ms Gibson saying she had brain cancer. Ms Smith told Daily Mail Australia she was 'baffled' when reports emerged this week where friends raised doubts about Ms Gibson's medical diagnoses and charity donations. 'I am just so shocked and I feel betrayed, that we all fell so hard for the illusion that she created,' Ms Smith said. 'It has hit all of us, who I know, (who) also know Belle, like a tonne of bricks.' Scroll down for video .

Ms Smith said Ms Gibson 'pushed' - and nearly convinced her - not to vaccinate her children, but that she did not blame her for nearly making that choice, which she 'backed out of at the last minute'. 'That was my own choice, based on information provided by Belle. I regret that choice (to nearly not vaccinate), but it was my own. I'm not here to place blame.' In November 2014, Ms Gibson told Sunday Style magazine she blamed the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil for her cancer. She told her social media followers last year her brain cancer had spread to her blood, liver, spleen, uterus and that she did not expect to survive.

Research has revealed those who call the organisation as 'Islamic State' overwhelmingly support it, while those who refer to it by its abbreviated name, ISIS, are mostly opposed to it. Not only does it reveal an individual's ISIS leanings, but researchers were also able to develop a model which accurately predicted future support of the terrorists. Those who refer to the jihadi group by its full name 'Islamic State' overwhelmingly support it, while those who call it 'ISIS' mostly oppose it, researchers have revealed . This was only made possible due to ISIS's widespread use of social media - unparalleled in modern conflicts - in attempting to recruit would-be jihadis from across the globe. The Qatari Computing Institute analysed 123million Arabic tweets by 57,000 Twitter users to reveal common traits among those in the pro or anti camps. The remarkable results showed 93 per cent of those referring to the group by its full name Islamic State were supporters, while 73 per cent calling it ISIS were opposed. The tweets used to determine support and opposition to the group were taken from mid-October to the end of December last year. During this time, former US Army Ranger Peter Kassig was beheaded, while the jihadis carried out numerous other atrocities against locals within their territory. Alarmingly, the results showed there was increasing support for the group on Twitter during the three month time period. The report stated: 'Anti-ISIS tweets generally peaked when news of ISIS human rights violations emerged such as the killing of hostages, accounts of torture, or reports of the enslavement of Yazidi women. 'On the other hand, pro-ISIS tweets generally peaked in conjunction with the release of propaganda videos and major military achievements.' They added: 'It seems that the top interests of both groups are rather different, except for one incident when an ISIS affiliate group attacked the Egyptian Army in Sinai.' ISIS brutality, according to the study, tended to galvanise opposition against the group and it was 'unclear' if it was effective recruitment tool. The researchers then looked further ahead. Using those accounts identified as pro or anti-ISIS according to how they referred to the group, they could determine - with 87 per cent accuracy - who was likely to become a supporter in future based on their use of hashtags from four years' previous. Hashtags relating to the Arab Spring, or ongoing conflicts within the Muslim world, showed those who were opposed to overturned political leaders were more likely to become ISIS supporters. 'Looking at discriminating hashtags suggested that a major source of support for ISIS stems from frustration with the missteps of the Arab Spring,' researchers concluded. 'As for opposition to ISIS, it is linked with support for other rebel groups, mostly in Syria, that have been targeted by ISIS, support for existing Middle Eastern regimes, and Shia sectarianism.'

Two tusks, teeth and rib bones of the extinct giant mammal were discovered buried three metres down in the frozen soil around 31 miles (50km) from Nyagan in Khanty-Mansi, Russia. Oil workers had been digging at a site owned by Rosneft close to the town when they noticed a tusk sticking out of the excavator bucket. Ancient: Two mammoth tusks (shown above) together with fragments of jaw, teeth, tibia and ribs were dug from the frozen soil of Siberia. Oil workers noticed a tusk sticking out of the excavator bucket . Using shovels they then unearthed a second tust, a tibia, ribs, teeth and fragments of the animal's jaw. Aton Rezvy, head of palaeontology at the Khanty-Mansiysk Museum of Nature and Man, said he believes the mammoth is at least 10,000 years old. 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. He estimated that the giant animal had been a fully grown adult female, around 30 to 40 years old when she died. He said they hoped to conduct further analysis of the bones to learn more about the mammoth. He told the Siberian Times: 'We can send the find to determine the radiocarbon date. 'Genetic analysis will help to determine which population this mammoth was from - European or North American.' Recent research has shown that many woolly mammoths discovered in Siberia may have originated in North Ameria and migrated across the Bering Strait when sea levels were lower. Many believe the original Siberian population of mammoths disappeared around 40,000 years ago, with North American mammoths dominating until around 4,500 years ago. The exact reason for their extinction is still debated with many blaming changes to the climate as causing their demise. Others have pointed to evidence that humans and neanderthals hunted the giant creatures along with other ice age megafauna and may have pushed them to the brink of extinction. Palaeontologists who examined the mammoth's remains (shown above) estimate it died 10,000 years ago .

For each cup consumed a day, there is about a 14 per cent decreased risk of liver cancer, found the study by the World Cancer Research Fund. But although the research found strong evidence that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of the disease, the report did not recommend the amount that should be drunk. The report comes after research published by the same team in 2013 found drinking coffee reduces the risk of womb cancer. Scroll down for video . Benefits: For each cup of coffee consumed a day, there is about a 14 per cent decreased risk of liver cancer . And a study by the American Cancer Society found drinking four cups of coffee a day almost halves the risk of deadly mouth cancer. The popular drink has already been linked with reducing the chances of getting bowel cancer, stroke and Alzheimer's disease. However, drinking too much may increase heart rate and blood pressure and pregnant women are advised to limit their intake because of concerns that excess coffee may increase their chances of having small babies. The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) report warned that while coffee might protect against the effects of alcohol abuse, just three alcoholic drinks a day can be enough to cause liver cancer. The increase in risk per 10g of alcohol consumed \u2013 around one alcoholic drink \u2013 is about 4 per cent, says the World Cancer Research Fund. As a result three or more drinks pose a significant cancer risk. The review also found a strong association between obesity and liver cancer and that physical activity and fish consumption may also decrease the risk of liver cancer, although more research is needed before any firm conclusions can be reached. The WCRF's continuous update project reviewed global research into the relationship between diet, weight and physical activity, and liver cancer. In all, 34 studies were analysed covering 8.2million people of whom more than 24,500 had liver cancer. Previous research by the project has shown alcohol to be strongly linked with a range of cancers, including liver. Risk: Previous research has shown alcohol to be strongly linked with a range of cancers, including liver . The WCRF recommends women should try to limit their alcohol intake to one drink per day and men to two. Amanda McLean, director of WCRF UK, said: 'Around three or more drinks per day can be enough to cause liver cancer. Until now we were uncertain about the amount of alcohol likely to lead to liver cancer. But the research reviewed in this report is strong enough to be more specific.' Globally, liver cancer was one of the five most common sites of cancer diagnosed in men in 2012, according to World Health Organisation figures.

Valencia's short backpass gave Danny Welbeck the chance to score Arsenal's winner by rounding David de Gea, and the former United captain thought he was poor. Keane was also annoyed at Arsenal's opening goal which saw Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ride three challenges before setting up Nacho Monreal with Daley Blind and Valencia at fault. Roy Keane was very critical of Manchester United's Daley Blind and Antonio Valencia on Monday . A poor defensive showing from United allowed Nacho Monreal to score Arsenal's first-half opener .

'It\u2019s too open some times \u2013 it was a shocking goal to concede,' Keane said. The former United captain had told presenter Gary Lineker not to ask him about United's defensive efforts for Monreal's opener and when the subject was mentioned he was highly critical. 'I'm looking at it in terms of the defending, and character and putting your body on the line,' Keane added. 'The lads have just downed tools there. Blind goes in for a challenge on Alexis Sanchez at Old Trafford but his work for the goal was criticised . Valencia was panned for his 'absolutely disgraceful' contribution which Keane called a 'schoolboy error' 'Blind and Valencia - it's absolutely disgraceful. Schoolboy errors and that\u2019s what costs your team. Big moments in a football match and if you give Arsenal, with the quality that they have, that type of freedom that\u2019s what happens. 'It was too easy, shocking. Absolutely disgraceful.' Valencia was also at fault for Arsenal's second, laying a goal on a plate for former United striker Danny Welbeck with a under-hit back pass to David de Gea. Keane said the freedom given by the players to Alex Oxlade Chamberlain was poor . David de Gea could have taken out Danny Welbeck and taken a red card as a sacrifice said Keane . 'Shocking defending, this is even worse (than the first goal,' Keane added. '(Phil) Jones, there's a time to clear, he can do better and Valencia of course is compounding from the first goal.'

Heavy: At that weight, it is little surprise the prized pet is looking a little slow on her feet . Weighing in at nearly 74lb, she is twice the size of a healthy cocker spaniel. Vets say that Millie, who has now been put on a strict diet, is symptomatic of the ballooning British population of obese pets. According to a report published today by the People\u2019s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA), there will be more overweight pets than healthy pets within five years. Some 80 per cent of vets surveyed by the charity reported an increase in obesity cases they had seen in the last two years. Mrs Maguire, 75, from Romford, admitted that Millie put on weight because she is fed too much. She said her dog has perfected the begging routine - even doing a \u2018happy dance\u2019 when fed an extra treat. Fat: Bulldog Daisy, from Middlesbrough, is another of Britain's heavy hounds .

Earlier this month, researchers found that elephants excel at identifying explosives by smell, stirring speculation about whether their extraordinary ability could save lives. Elephants could be used to detect land mines in areas that have seen conflict and could even do so at a distance with the aid of drones. Three elephants passed smell tests conducted on a game reserve in South Africa. Sniffing at buckets, they were rewarded with a treat of marula - a tasty fruit - when they showed that they recognised samples of TNT by raising a front leg. The elephants detected TNT samples 73 out of the 74 times that they encountered in a line of buckets, according to Ashadee Kay Miller, a zoology student at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. They only got this wrong 3.6 per cent of the time over 502 buckets that contained the explosive, which was dissolved in acetone on filter paper.

Some of the debris has drifted 6,000 miles across the Indian Ocean from as far away as Madagascar and South Africa but there has been nothing that appears to be from the Malaysia Airlines jet. Yet the official search area for the aircraft, some 1200 miles south west of Perth in Western Australia, lies virtually in the path that the rubbish from the other side of the ocean has drifted along. Doomed: A detailed search for Indian Ocean rubbish on the south west coast of Tasmania might have indicated that the hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 (pictured) is in the wrong place . If nothing more, the discovery of rubbish from Madagascar and South Africa confirms that the ocean tides will carry debris many thousands of miles, passing close to the MH370 search area, to the shores of Australia - and perhaps onwards into the Pacific Ocean. There have been numerous suggestions that despite complex mathematical calculations the search for the aircraft, which vanished more than a year ago on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew, is in the wrong area. And while the rubbish clean-up by a team of volunteers along the remote beaches of Tasmania was not conducted to look for debris from the aircraft, the ocean currents have brought nothing in to suggest that the aircraft lies at the bottom of the sea somewhere out to the west. If there was anything in southern Tasmania from the jet, the team would have found it, for they have been picking up minute pieces of plastic as small as a grain of rice. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported today that 27 people spent eight nights at sea in a fleet of fishing boats, travelling from Low Rocky Point to the mouth of Port Davey in an annual effort to clean the beaches of rubbish floating in from the vast ocean.

Growers suggest their costs could soar by 500 percent if they were to stop using the pesticide, which could see a punnet of strawberries soar to more than $10. The Victorian farms still using methyl bromide - who are part of the Toolangi Certified Strawberry Runner Growers' Cooperative - said the industry had spent $700,000 on research to find alternatives to the pesticide. 'The soils at Toolangi are clays with high organic matter, and alternative treatments used in other parts of Australia do not work well in these conditions, especially in cold temperatures,' they said.

Typical RSI conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, where a nerve in the wrist becomes compressed. Other common causes include tendonitis (inflammation of a tendon) or tenosynovitis (inflammation of a tendon sheath). Lucy began to experience tremors in her leg 18 months after being diagnosed with RSI. \u2018I\u2019d also started having difficulty with simple tasks, such as brushing my teeth, so I began to get concerned,\u2019 she said .

University Provost John Etchemendy sent a letter to faculty members highlighting what he called 'troubling allegations' that stem from 'a smattering of concerns from a number of winter courses,' the San Jose Mercury News reported Friday. Etchemendy said the students are cheating themselves and risk severe consequences. All new students are told of the university's honor code and agree to abide by it, he said. Concerns: An unusually high number of students at Stanford University are suspected of cheating during the most recent term (file photo) 'But with the ease of technology and widespread sharing that is now part of a collaborative culture,' he wrote, 'students need to recognize and be reminded that it is dishonest to appropriate the work of others.' University spokeswoman Lisa Lapin declined to discuss details with the newspaper, such as the course or grade level of the students, but she said such concerns are routine. She says that in the 2013-2014 academic year, 83 students violated the honor code. In the most recent term, the newspaper reported that one instructor believes that 20 percent of students in a large introductory course may have cheated. Lapin said that Etchemendy's note underscored the need for faculty members to be clear with their students about expectations at Stanford, which prides itself as being one of the world's leading teaching and research universities. Students accused of cheating have the opportunity to defend themselves against the charge. First-time violators are usually suspended for a quarter and must perform 40 hours of community service, with increasing disciplinary action for subsequent violations.

The study\u2019s lead author, Dr Natalie Parletta, of the University of South Australia, said there was a strong link between the Mediterranean diet and lower scores for mental illness. This was despite the fact it was a study of people with depression, who tended to have poor diets in the first place. She told MailOnline: \u2018What we found is that poor diet is predicting the onset of depression. \u2018It\u2019s not that people are getting depressed and then eating badly, eating badly causes the depression in the first place. \u2018We recruited people who had depression already. We screened out people who had good diet. \u2018So it was amazing that there was a significant correlation the Mediterranean diet and mental illness, even for people with low scores on the consumption of wholefoods.\u2019 She said research shows there is an overlap between heart disease and depression, and scientists have begun to think there might be common underlying mechanisms. Inflammation and insulin resistance which occurs in the body and causes heart disease could also cause depression in the brain, she said. \u2018The brain is an organ like any other,\u2019 she explained. \u2018It has higher needs than other organs, from bloodflow to delivering oxygen, glucose and nutrients. \u2018A lack of bloodflow and inflammation can affect the brain as much as any other organ. A Mediterranean diet is high in nutrients such as omega-3, vitamin B, vitamin D, healthy fats and anti-oxidants, she said, which are all important for keeping the brain functioning well and staving off mental illness. Sometimes depression is 'biological', the researchers said. It can be a deficiency in some of the nutrients that keep the brain functioning properly . There has been a lot of research on how omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish, play a vital role in maintaining or improving mental health and stability. Deficiency in these", "summary": "People who adhered more strongly to Mediterranean diet were happier . 'Eating badly causes the depression in the first place,' researchers say . Diet consists of vegetables, seeds, fruits, nuts, seeds and olive oil . It is low in processed foods, red meats and sweets and chocolate . These foods cause inflammation in the body which affects the brain . Mediterranean diet contains nutrients like omega-3, vitamins and fibre .

George Osborne is expected to use his Budget to announce a \u00a36billion boost to the country\u2019s finances that will be used to fund tax cuts for the middle classes. Economists believe \u2018a cocktail of good news\u2019 including falling inflation will cut the borrowing bill by about \u00a320billion. The EY Item Club, which compiles its forecasts using the Treasury\u2019s economic model, said it expected the Office for Budget Responsibility to reduce the borrowing forecast for next year by \u00a36billion. It was also claimed last night that owners of homes worth up to \u00a31million will be able to pass them on to their children tax-free under plans drawn up by the Chancellor. Mr Osborne\u2019s proposal is expected to become a key part of the Tory manifesto, but it will not be included in tomorrow\u2019s Budget after it was blocked by the Lib Dems. Plans to raise the inheritance tax threshold to \u00a31million were included in the party\u2019s manifesto at the last election, but were vetoed as part of the Coalition deal. According to Treasury papers leaked to The Guardian, the proposed measures would also reduce the inheritance tax bill on properties worth up to \u00a32million by \u00a3140,000. The tax break, which would mean around 20,000 fewer estates every year would have any inheritance liability, is expected to cost nearly \u00a31billion. Scroll down for video . In the papers, the officials note that the move \u2018will generally be very popular with the public and in the media\u2019. The document, prepared for Treasury financial secretary David Gauke, added: \u2018You have indicated a desire to reduce the burden of inheritance tax. \u2018Having considered the cost of a substantial increase in the existing nil rate band you and the Chancellor have indicated you would like instead to introduce a more targeted measure to allow the family home to be passed onto the children of deceased without it leading to an inheritance tax liability. It is thought the Lib Dems leaked the papers ahead of the Budget in a bid to paint to Tories as the party of the rich . \u2018This reflects the concern raised by the public about rising house prices increasingly leading to estates with a modest house ... paying inheritance tax.\u2019 A senior Tory source blamed the leak of \u2018old advice\u2019 on the Liberal Democrats, adding: \u2018They are desperate.

+{"article": "Today's long awaited report into Britain's surveilance powers was sparked by the Edward Snowden revelations . GCHQ was last night cleared of carrying out mass surveillance of the public using vast trawls of internet traffic. The Intelligence and Security Committee said the central claims made by the Guardian newspaper on the back of documents stolen by American whistle-blower Edward Snowden were wrong and it cleared the Government\u2019s listening station of wrongdoing. After an 18-month inquiry, the committee dismissed the claims that GCHQ had \u2018blanket coverage\u2019 of web communications and was rooting indiscriminately through private messages. In reality, it said, GCHQ can access only a small part of the web and operatives see only a \u2018tiny fraction\u2019 of the messages collected after a sophisticated filtering process. The committee concluded that the only items seen by analysts were those of the \u2018highest intelligence value\u2019, and these amounted to several thousand a day. Tory MP Mark Field, a member of the committee, said: \u2018The big mistake that Snowden and the Guardian made in its coverage was to equate bulk data with bulk surveillance. \u2018The truth is that the filtering process means that a tiny proportion of the bulk data that is collected is ever examined. \u2018That point was never really made by the Guardian, who gave the impression that with every phone call, every email and every text message, the public had a spy on their shoulder.\u2019 Labour MP Hazel Blears said the \u2018two main claims\u2019 made off the back of the Snowden leaks were untrue and surveillance was neither blanket nor indiscriminate. \u2018What we\u2019ve found is that the way in which the agencies use the capabilities they have is authorised, lawful, necessary and proportionate. Labour MP Hazel Blears chaired the press conference on the Intelligence and Security Committee's long-awaited report into Britain's spy agencies . GCHQ Headquarters, based in Cheltenham, is the Government's main listening post and is allowed to monitor people's 'communications' to uncover terror threats . \u2018But what we\u2019ve also found is there is a degree of confusion and lack of transparency about the way in which this is authorised in our legal system. 'It is that lack of transparency that leads to people reaching the conclusion that there is blanket surveillance, indiscriminate surveillance.\u2019 Another committee member, Tory MP Dr Julian Lewis, compared the process to using a magnet to pull a needle from a haystack. The agency does not have the \u2018legal authority, the resources or the technical capability\u2019 to intercept such vast amounts of material, the report concluded. The committee recommended a new law bringing together all the intelligence and security legislation. 'The allegation arising from the [Snowden] leaks is that GCHQ \u2018hoover up\u2019 and collect all internet communications. Some of those who gave evidence to this inquiry said \u2018the agencies are monitoring the whole stream all the time\u2019, referring to the \u2018apparent ubiquity of surveillance\u2019. 'We have explored whether this is the case. It is clear that both for legal reasons and due to resource constraints, it is not: GCHQ cannot conduct indiscriminate blanket interception of all communications. \u2018It", "summary": "Agents at GCHQ monitor 'large numbers of items' to uncover terror threats .

British politicians on both sides hope to recreate the powerful attack that Ronald Reagan famously launched against Jimmy Carter in the 1980 US Presidential election, when he asked if voters if they felt their incomes had improved over four years. George Osborne yesterday boasted that this year families will be \u00a3900 better off than in 2010, while Labour claims workers are \u00a31,600 worse off.

Labour's figures are based on the falling value of average wages in real terms. The Tories' focus on real household disposable income takes into account the effect of tax and benefit changes, and suggests incomes overtaking 2010 levels by the end of 2015 . Chancellor George Osborne argues that families will be better off in 2015 than they were in 2010 . One of the big surprises of the Budget yesterday was George Osborne's announcement that incomes this year would be higher in real terms than in 2010. After years of austerity and slow growth, many Tories had given up hope being able to go into the election with voters feeling the benefits of the recovery. The Chancellor told MPs: 'To the question of whether people are better off at the end of this Parliament than they were five years ago we can give the resounding answer 'yes'. 'You can measure it by GDP per capita, and the answer is yes \u2013 up by 5 per cent. 'Or you can use the most up-to-date and comprehensive measure of living standards which is Real Household Disposable Income per capita. 'In other words, how much money families have to spend after inflation and tax. 'It is the living standards measure used by the Office for National Statistics and by the OECD. 'On that measure I can confirm, on the latest OBR data today, living standards will be higher in 2015 than in 2010. 'And it confirms they are set to grow strongly every year for the rest of the decade. 'The British people for years paid the heavy price of the great recession. 'Now, the facts show households on average will be around \u00a3900 better off in 2015 than they were in 2010 \u2013 and immeasurably more secure for living in a country whose economy is not in crisis anymore, but is instead growing and creating jobs.' Labour's Ed Balls claims wages are worth \u00a31,600 less in real terms than they were in 2010 . Labour has long argued that wages outstripped by inflation have left workers feeling poorer. They argue that average weekly earnings have fallen in real terms from \u00a3453 in 2010 to \u00a3418 in April 2014.

But in the end the battling qualities of Halep, coupled with the instability of Jankovic who virtually went to pieces as the match went on, got the third seed over the line 2-6, 7-5, 6-4.

With Daley Blind on the ball at left back and no Tottenham players covering a huge gap just in from the left touchline, Carrick burst forward to receive the ball before instantly playing a perfectly weighted pass for Marouane Fellaini to open the scoring for United. Ten minutes later Carrick had headed his side 2-0 up and sent them on the way to a vital win. But it was the composure and attacking intent that Carrick provided on Sunday that United have missed so much in recent weeks - something which was not lost on his manager.

Pacquiao was approached unannounced by an anti-doping examiner at the house he is renting in Los Angeles where he is preparing to face Mayweather in Las Vegas on May 2. Both fighters can expect to be tested under the US Anti-Doping Association programme to which they have both signed up. Manny Pacquiao was paid a surprise visit by an anti-doping examiner on Sunday to take a drug test . Pacquiao has a plaster applied after giving a blood sample to the examiner . Pacquiao was visited only four days after the packed red-carpet media event in LA which formally launched the build up to the $350million richest fight of all time. The inspector called at the house, where Pacquiao was relaxing with members of his team between work-outs with master trainer Freddie Roach at the fabled Wild Card Gym . The PacMan readily complied with tests for both blood \u2013 a process about which he had previously expressed his dislike \u2013 and urine. \u2018No problem,\u2019 he told the medic, with a smile. Earlier, his promoter Bob Arum had made it clear that Pacquiao had issued a $5m challenge to Mayweather with regard to the testing, and offered to surrender that amount should he fail the examination. In addition to the giving blood, Pacquiao also gave a urine sample during the test . Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather can expected to be randomly tested before the bout on May 2 in Las Vegas . Arum explained: \u2018Manny proposed that if either of them did not pass a test, that man should pay the other $5m. \u2018Floyd\u2019s team declined. Not because anybody here is afraid of the outcome but because they realised they could legally get a lot more if it happened. \u2018Fine with Manny. If Floyd fails we will be looking for much more compensation than $5m.' Pacquiao has already been paid damages \u2013 reportedly in seven figures \u2013 after taking legal action for remarks made by members of the Mayweather team, when they began demanding drugs-testing, which inferred that he might have used performance enhancing drugs in the past. Under the US procedures, which comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency standards applied for the Olympics, both boxers must submit to random testing in the weeks leading up to the fight and to another immediately after the event. Pacquiao was happy to be filmed by a camera crew from the Philippines, who are documenting the build up . Pacquiao proposed that if either boxer failed a drug test they would have to pay the other $5million . Pacquiao has had to overcome an element of paranoia that a loss of blood prior to fights might weaken him in the ring.

Researchers studying spotted hyenas in Kenya found that high-ranking members of a clan live longer, are healthier and even have more offspring. The discovery was made by analysing the lengths of telomeres - caps at the end of each strand of DNA - regarded as important signs of ageing and stress in many species, including humans. Researchers studied the status and health of spotted hyenas in Kenya (stock image). They found high-ranking members of groups live longer and are healthier and these alpha females were also found to have more offspring. The discovery was made by analysing the lengths of telomeres . Nora Lewin from Michigan State Univerity's zoology department said: 'If you want to see the hierarchy of spotted hyenas, throw down some fresh meat near them. 'It's quickly apparent who's dominant and who's not.' But she wanted to know if these long-accepted biological markers would support what she was seeing in the field. Ms Lewin worked with fellow lead author and MSU zoologist Kay Holekamp to study more than 25 years of data on hyenas across the African country. Telomeres are caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect chromosomes from deterioration. These biomarkers are regarded as important signs of ageing and stress in many species, including humans. Shrinking telomeres are a signal that cells are sliding into 'defensive mode', stressful actions that could soon lead to cells' - and to the person or animal's - death. High-ranking hyenas had longer telomeres than their peers. In young humans, telomeres are about 8,000-10,000 nucleotides long. They shorten with each cell division, however, and when they reach a critical length the cell stops dividing or dies. This internal 'clock' makes it difficult to keep most cells growing in a laboratory for more than a few cell doublings. She also spent a summer in Kenya observing hyenas' social structure. The team of researchers focused on telomeres, caps that protect chromosomes from deterioration. These biomarkers are regarded as important signs of ageing and stress in many species, including humans. Shrinking telomeres are a signal that cells are sliding into 'defensive mode', stressful actions that could lead to cells' - and to the person or animal's - death. High-ranking hyenas had longer telomeres than their peers suggesting they were healthier. Group membership significantly predicted telomere length of those female hyenas that sat at the top of the social hierarchy. But Ms Lewin also noted a couple of interesting twists. The alpha females of each clan had the longest telomeres. However, the length was relative to each individual clan. This meant that if researchers found a lone hyena wandering the savanna they couldn't simply identify it as an alpha female based solely on telomere length. Also the team was able to rule other factors that could possibly influence telomere length such as abundance of food - which could be linked to better overall health.

Liberal Democrat John Thurso, who represents the commission in the chamber, said moving away from Apple's products would be too expensive. Caught in the act: Tory MP Nigel Mills was caught playing Candy Crush on his taxpayer-funded iPad last December . But Shadow Cabinet Office minister Chi Onwurah criticised the decision to lock MPs into the Apple operating system and told Computerworld UK she would have preferred a 'device agnostic' policy. 'As we saw with Nigel Mills and Candy Crush, MPs will be using the games, and the iTunes and other features on the iPad,' she added. 'Locking some of the most powerful people in the country into a platform that most of my constituents can't afford seems like a mistake. And that's without mentioning the tax avoidance issue. I'm pushing for a device independent digital platform for Parliament.' Liberal Democrat John Thurso claimed a move away from Apple's operating system would incur more costs . Apple iPads have been used across Parliament since a pilot scheme was launched in 2012.

Nigel Mills escaped punishment after he admitted having a \u2018game or two\u2019 of Candy Crush and promised not to do it again. Mr Mills, the MP for Amber Valley in Derbyshire, was supposed to be listening to experts give evidence at a meeting of the Commons Work and Pensions Committee. He had initially said he would merely \u2018try\u2019 not to be diverted by the game again, but yesterday afternoon in a statement he said: \u2018I guarantee it will not happen again. In 2013, the House of Commons Commission agreed to a recommendation from the administration committee that 'a tablet and a laptop should be the first pieces of equipment offered to all members after the 2015 election'. The Commission assessed a range of tablets with prices ranging from \u00a3100 to \u00a3600 and where they decided on the Apple iPad Air 2. The cost of supplying the new iPads would be \u00a3200,000 a year over the life of the next Parliament. Mr Thurso said the decision to buy the new gadgets was to avoid spending more money on training staff to use non-Apple systems and to reduce hard copy printing in favour of online publication which was already saving more than \u00a33 million annually. The House of Commons Commission said that buying the 650 MPs an iPad Air 2 each, worth \u00a3499, will save money .

Towns and cities across the country are getting older, thanks to people living longer, with half of those born after 2007 expected to live to over 100. While the average age of the population will be 43 in 2037, up from 36 in 1992, the the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, and the seaside town of Bournemouth in Dorset, populations are getting younger. In Barking, the average age is set to drop from 34 to 33.4 during the 45 year period- thanks to rising birth rates and the influx of young Londoners with families looking to get on the housing ladder. By 2037, a quarter of all residents in the borough will be under 16 years old. The county of Dorset has one of the oldest populations in the UK - Christchurch where almost 31 per cent of the population are pensioners- and one of the few places where the population is getting younger - Bournemouth where the age is due to drop from 41.3 to 41.

On Mount Hengill, an active lava field, just outside \u00deingvellir National Park, the striking ION hotel stands on a craggy outcrop close to where the North American and Eurasian plates meet, drifting further and further apart, each year. Boiling water bubbles just 25ft underground here, so when it was built on the site of a geothermal power plant, its creators had to use building materials seven times stronger than standard materials used in Reykjav\u00edk. The striking ION Hotel is situated on Mount Hengill, an active volcano whose last eruption was around 2,000 years ago . The 45-room hotel is an extension and renovation of the old workers' quarters of the Nesjavellir geothermal power station, bought in 2011, with the intention of being the only hotel in this isolated - and beautiful - part of the country. ION makes use of Iceland's unique geography in two ways: the biothermal energy is harnessed in a spectacular outdoor natural hot spring; and a glass building - the Northern Lights Bar - allows guests to admire the frequent aurora borealis displays. Owner Sigurlaug Sverrisd\u00f3ttir, who was born and raised in the region, knows all too about extreme weather, and said the Northern Lights never get old. She says: 'This respect for Mother Nature is in our blood; our parents and grandparents certainly knew not to mess with her. One month before I was born, in January 1973, there was an eruption on the Westman Island, a small island south of Iceland. A glass extension to the building - the Northern Lights Bar - allows guests to admire the frequent aurora borealis displays . ION is surrounded by natural hot springs, which provide geothermal hot water and energy to the hotel's own natural outdoor pool . Rooms at the ION hotel start at \u00a3184 (bed and breakfast) Go Green offer tours green and sustainable tours of Iceland . For flights, see icelandair.co.uk . 'Overnight almost the entire island was covered in lava. The rescue to move the islanders to the mainland was successful mainly due to the fact that all of the fishing boats were in harbour as these as were too rough for the locals to fish. 'The first boat left with habitants to reach the mainland only 30 minutes after the volcano erupted. Even though I was born here, I\u2019m still fascinated about the lava, moss landscape around ION. 'I still feel amazed when I see the Northern Lights dancing in the sky on one of my late returns from work. Even though you have experienced it several times before it is different when you are outside of the city, it's much more intense. The Northern Lights bar has floor-to-ceiling glass windows on three sides, making it the perfect vantage point for watching aurora borealis .

However, the 68-year-old singer was so moved by the story of Mrs Hill and Eddie Harrison that she has pledged to help Mrs Hill return home. Cher was moved to act after she saw a documentary on Edith Hill and her husband Eddie Harrison . A court ruled that Edith Hill, left should be removed from her home and transferred to Florida.

Cher said she will help pay for needed upgrades to Hill's family home in Alexandria. In a telephone interview, Cher expressed frustration that Eddie and Edith had been split up against their wishes. She said: 'This whole thing is a travesty, what happens to old people. Once they do the repairs and she comes back home, it's going to be bittersweet because she only wanted to be with him.'

+{"article": "Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy said on Thursday that two agents who allegedly 'crashed' into a White House barrier in early March while driving under the influence merely bumped into a barrel. 'Previous reports of a crash are inaccurate - there was no crash,' Clancy told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee during testimony on the agency's budget request. 'The video shows the vehicle entering the White House complex at a speed of approximately 1 to 2 mph, and pushing aside a plastic barrel. There was no damage to the vehicle.' Clancy also told senators that the Secret Service was doing everything in its power to 'recreate' surveillance footage from the night in question that had already been erased by the time he learned of the incident. A U.S. Secret Service K-9 team works along the second, temporary fence on the north side of the White House this week. Congress may never know whether two agents who crashed into a White House barrier in early March were driving under the influence because it's Secret Service policy to erase tapes after 72 hours, a congressman has revealed . House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, pictured here at a Capitol Hill hearing on Tuesday, says lawmakers who were present for the Secret Service director's explanation of why tapes were destroyed were stunned. 'That doesn't make any sense to us' The newly minted Secret Service director's testimony follows the chairman of the House Oversight Committee's public disclosure on Wednesday that it is Secret Service policy to delete footage of the White House after 72 hours. Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz said Clancy offered up the policy on Tuesday at a closed-door meeting as an explanation for why he could only offer Congress video of the incident from two angles. 'I don't think anyone in that room could believe it,' Chafettz told CBS News Wednesday. 'That's just a stunning revelation that 72 hours after they make a tape they destroy it? That doesn't make any sense to us.' On Tuesday at a House hearing on his appropriations request Clancy admitted that he did not know about the alleged drunk driving or crash, which interrupted a suspicious package investigation, until five days after it happened. 'The fact that I did not learn of this allegation until five days after it is said to have occurred is unacceptable,' he said today in his prepared remarks. The lapse in notification means that all evidence of a crime could have been destroyed before the time Clancy says he was informed of his agents' misconduct. 'If it's regular policy to destroy them after 72 hours, why did they have two of the tapes, and where are the rest of the tapes?' Chaffetz had asked on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Secret Service did not return Daily Mail Online's request for comment on the matter Thursday morning. And the White House's chief spokesman declined, when asked by Daily Mail Online on Thursday, to say whether he or the president felt it was 'appropriate' for the Secret Service to delete surveillance footage with", "summary": "'Previous reports of a crash are inaccurate - there was no crash,' Secret Service Director Joe Clancy told a Senate committee Thursday .

Blatter was always expected to refuse the request, put to him in a letter from the BBC and Sky, for an hour-long debate with Prince Ali of Jordan, Luis Figo and Michael van Praag about their plans for leading FIFA. The event would have been hosted by top broadcasters from the two networks and given equal prominence to each candidate. FIFA president Sepp Blatter speaks to journalists after the IFAB meeting in Belfast last month . FIFA presidential hopeful Luis Figo takes notes during the CONMEBOL Ordinary Congress on March 4 . But rather than give a courteous answer by letter to the prominent TV stations, Blatter relayed the curt reply \u2018thanks but no thanks\u2019 via one of his flunkeys in a telephone call. This didn\u2019t impress the BBC, who have been FIFA partners as World Cup rights-holders since proper live coverage started in 1966. Blatter\u2019s three challengers replied by letter that they would be happy to participate. But the whole project depended on Blatter and he is not even prepared to outline his reasons for not taking part, let alone have his make-up applied for the TV cameras \u2014 in front of which he would have by far the most to lose. Far better for Blatter is to fast-track FIFA Goal Programme funding to African countries, where he enjoys mass voting support.

Kerri Lawson, 18, put an appeal on Facebook when her Labrador Homer sneaked out of the garden of her family home in Washington, Tyne and Wear, and disappeared. Her despair initially turned to joy when she was told it had been found by a member of the public who took the animal, which had arthritis which makes him drag his back leg, to a vet. But she was then told by the vet that they had put Homer down because of his condition - without telling his devastated owner first. Kerri Lawson said she was distraught after she found her missing dog had been handed in by a member of the public to the vet, only for staff to decide to put the animal down - without informing her first .

The ex-Labour backbencher, who is standing down at the next election after he was convicted of headbutting a Tory MP in a Commons bar, repeatedly used his Parliamentary card to settle big bills. Many of these payments were later declared unclaimable on expenses, but his card was not blocked by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) for more than two years. He even claimed that one \u00a3896.92 bill for two nights was for a 'whole bunch of people' to stay at the four-star Park Plaza near Westminster.

If he refuses to repay voluntarily the watchdog's only option will be to pursue him in the civil courts. The details emerged after Ipsa admitted it has been labelling some of Mr Joyce's hotel claims as 'not paid' in its regular disclosures - when in fact it has paid a much higher bill in full. The Falkirk MP accepts that he made mistakes in filing claims after using his card, suggesting he was also paying for rooms for staff . The watchdog confirmed he put \u00a3743 on a card to fund a three night-stay at a 'non-London' hotel, believed to be in Glasgow, in September last year. The bill was automatically paid by Ipsa. But as he is only entitled to claim up to \u00a3120 a night for hotels outside the capital, an excess of \u00a3383 was added to his debt.

Sam Travolta Jr. says he decided to leave the Church of Scientology (above) after he tried to take his own life, at which point members began mouthing to hi, 'You are dead' Speaking with The National Enquirer, Sam did however say that his famous uncle did everything he could to help him, but even he could not stop the attacks that were waged against him after his decision to leave. 'Planting drugs on me' and 'spreading rumors around town that I was psychotic, and even worse - a pedophile,' are just two of the ways Sam claims members of the church tried to bring him down after his decision to leave Scientology. ''My uncle told me, \"Sorry, Sam, I can't help you. They don't care who I am.\"' His uncle does however supply Sam with a monthly allowance, which is greatly appreciated by the struggling screenwriter. Sam also says in the interview that Travolta has never pressured members of his family into joining Scientology, though he does say he would be 'friendlier' to those individuals who were members of the church. The other claim Sam makes against the church, and one that has been brought up frequently by former members, is the amount of work required of members for little to no pay. Sam claims he worked as a file clerk, 'making $36 for a 60-hour week.' Then, there was the treatment he received from other members shortly before he left the church. Sam, claims they 'would mouth to me, \"You are dead,\" over and over again. It was all about mental control for them.' The 47-year-old says he has moved on now that the attacks have stopped, and he is finally trying to get his life back on track. Sam's interview meanwhile could not come at a worse time for the church, with the HBO documentary Going Clear set to premiere later this month.

State police say a Wal-Mart employee alerted police after seeing a man he described as suspicious enter the restroom about 11:30 pm Thursday with a backpack and then leave without it. Police were called, and determined that inside the backpack were items that constituted a miniature meth lab, with chemicals used to 'cook' the drug were being mixed in containers. State police say people who make methamphetamine are leaving 'the deadly explosive chemicals in public places to return later to get the finished product,' rather than risk explosions and contamination at their own homes. Scroll down for video . Scene: An employee of the Walmart at 1501 E. 29th St. in Muncie alerted police officers to a backpack that had been left in this restroom, which was being used to mix dangerous chemicals to make methamphetamine . The incident occurred at the Wal-Mart in Muncie, Indianapolis, late on Thursday night . The discovery of such 'labs' are becoming routine for authorities. The fastest way to make meth is referred to as 'shake and bake', where the chemicals are mixed in two liter bottles, and later cooked in the oven until it crystallizes. However mixing the chemicals runs a huge risk of explosion, with the blast of one bottle capable of killing someone. The Star Press reports that members of a state police meth suppression team removed the dangerous chemicals. Delaware County Health Department inspectors closed the restroom and a nearby women's restroom until they could be 'decontaminated' by a professional cleaning company. An investigation into who left the backpack in the restroom is now under way. Brian Nick, director of National Media Relations for Walmart, said the store's surveillance video was being provided to police for that probe.

The move could reduce the number of \u2018red cards\u2019 which land on doormats to tell householders a package has been returned to the delivery office. Postmen already attempt to deliver parcels to people\u2019s neighbours if they are out.

Residents can now nominate a neighbour to receive their parcels so they never miss a delivery, Royal Mail announced yesterday (file picture) It means people can choose a neighbour who they know well, or who is often in during the day, to sign for a parcel or receive a delivery which will not fit through the letter box. The price of first and second class stamps rose by a penny each yesterday. A first class stamp now costs 63p while second class is 54p \u2013 more than double what it was ten years ago. Sending a large letter has gone up by 2p to 95p for first class and by 1p to 74p for second class.

John Allan, of the Federation of Small Businesses, said: \u2018If you\u2019re a business that relies heavily on the postal service, increases in prices won\u2019t be welcomed. \u2018Businesses affected will have to decide whether to absorb it or pass it on to their customers.\u2019 Royal Mail said the \u2018Nominate a Neighbour\u2019 scheme would be more convenient for householders and \u2018improve first-time delivery\u2019.

Postmen will try to deliver to this neighbour in the first instance, before trying other addresses nearby.

Heather Barwick, a 31-year-old mother-of-four from South Carolina, says she is against gay marriage because she missed out on having her father around when she was growing up . 'I'm writing to you because I'm letting myself out of the closet: I don't support gay marriage. But it might not be for the reasons that you think. It's not because you're gay. I love you, so much. It's because of the nature of the same-sex relationship itself.' Barwick recalls growing up in a very liberal and open-minded suburb surrounded by a 'tight-knit community of gay and lesbian friends' and says her mother's partner 'treated me as if I was her own daughter'. She also admits that her biological father 'wasn't a great guy,' and 'didn't bother coming around anymore.' Despite being an advocate for gay marriage in her 20s, Barwick now says she's had a change of heart.

An Iowa woman has been arrested after allegedly faking a pregnancy to scam adoptive parents out of money - and it's the second time she has been busted. Tracy Leann Bess-Thacker, 29, used a sonogram and other hospital pictures from a previous pregnancy to trick a Utah couple desperate for a baby into sending her $200, according to police. Authorities say she's up to her old tricks again. In 2011, she was charged with filing a false report and suborning perjury after she used 19 different alias to scam parents from Nebraska, Illinois, Hawaii, Iowa, and Kansas. Many of the prospective parents in that case traveled to Iowa to meet Bess-Thacker and gave her $3,000 for food, clothing and baby supplies, according to authorities. 'Tracy Bess is an internet predator who intentionally inflicts mental anguish and emotional distress on adoptive parents. This is a strong example of an internet bullying case that has not been considered in the law,' Ankeny Police Chief Gary Mikulec told WHO-TV. Police say the Utah couple contacted police about Bess-Thacker last July after they discovered stories online about her 2011 arrest. At the time, police said there wasn't enough evidence to arrest her. Last month, a break in the case came and police took her into custody. She is charged with fourth-degree theft. Bess-Thacker allegedly created a birth mother registry on for LifeLong Adoptions, which pairs mothers with adoptive parents. She also made posts online and on social media groups where adoptive parents connect with birth mothers, according to police.

+{"article": "Facebook has already begun flying its giant drones designed to bring internet access to the world, Mark Zuckerberg has revealed. 'As part of our effort to connect the world, we've designed unmanned aircraft that can beam internet access down to people from the sky,' he posted on his Facebook page. 'Today, I'm excited to share that we've successfully completed our first test flight of these aircraft in the UK.' Zuckerberg revealed the final design will have a wingspan greater than a Boeing 737 but will weigh less than a car. It will be powered by solar panels on its wings and it will be able to stay at altitudes of more than 60,000 feet for months at a time. Facebook aims to use a mix of solar-powered aircraft and low-orbit satellites to beam signals carrying the internet to hard-to-reach locations. The drones, flying at 65,000ft (19,800 metres), will be capable of staying in the air for months. They are relatively cheap and will be most effective for suburban areas that do not have the cables or infrastructure to carry internet or telephone signals. The drones are effectively mobile phone masts in the sky and bounce smartphone communications between satellites and base stations on Earth. Low-orbit and geosynchronous satellites, which have orbits that match the Earth\u2019s rotation and are effectively stationary, will cover more remote areas in Africa and Asia. The internet access would be transmitted in the form of free-space optical communication, or FSO, which transmits data using infrared laser beams. 'The final design will have a wingspan greater than a Boeing 737 but will weigh less than a car. 'It will be powered by solar panels on its wings and it will be able to stay at altitudes of more than 60,000 feet for months at a time.' 'Aircraft like these will help connect the whole world because they can affordably serve the 10% of the world's population that live in remote communities without existing internet infrastructure.' At Facebook's f8 conference in San Francisco, the firm's Facebook's chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer revealed the firm thought drones were key to getting connectivity around the world. 'This basically mean going to the sky,' Schroepfer says. He showed off the Aquila, an Internet-connected unmanned drone with the wingspan of a 737 and the 'mass of a small car.' At a summit in New York earlier this year, Facebook's engineering director announced the vehicles will be closer in size to jumbo jets, than traditional drones, and they'll soar at 65,000ft (19,800 metres). Following the tests, it could then be just three to five years until the super-sized, solar-powered drones are hovering above remote parts of the world to provide internet access. Yael Maguire, engineering director of Facebook\u2019s Connectivity Lab, told the Social Good Summit that the planes will be \u2018roughly the size\u2019 of a Boeing 747, but much lighter than the popular aeroplane, which weighs around 600,000lbs (272,155kg) without passengers or fuel.

The live-in girlfriend of an accused child molester from Indiana allegedly had helped the suspect arrange sexual encounters with young girls, according to recently unsealed court documents. Mark Speer, 44, a plumber from Lafayette, was arrested in August on suspicion of molesting a 3-year-old girl and creating child pornography videos. In the course of the investigation into the claims, police received permission to access Speer's private messages on Facebook and the dating site Zoosk exchanged between him and his girlfriend, Rebecca Kaster. Search warrants released last month state that Kaster had assisted her boyfriend in scheduling his illicit encounters with children. One Facebook message sent from Kaster's account to Speer December 22, 2013, read: 'i think i have the best chance getting her or the younger [girl]...so far that\u2019s all i got.' Speer reportedly replied that Kaster's update turned him on. Kaster, who has not been charged with any crime, told detectives that she and Speer had an open relationship, in which he was allowed to have sex with other women he met online, according to the court documents cited by Indianapolis Star. Speer was charged last September with child molesting, attempted child molesting and criminal confinement, along with federal child pornography charges, . The charges against the 44-year-old stemmed from the discovery of a half-dozen videos on his cell phone featuring a 3-year-old girl in his house wearing nothing but a pair of socks. Go-between: Speer's live-in-girlfriend, Rebecca Kaster, is suspected of helping the Indiana plumber (left and right) arrange encounters with young victims via Facebook and Twitter . When questioned by Indiana State Police in August about the videos, Speer claimed he recorded them because the toddler was 'acting goofy' and 'dancing around.' Court papers released last fall revealed that in one of the clips, Speer is heard saying about the child: 'This pretty little thing's mind, ' and, 'Oh my God, I\u2019ve already got her naked.' The suspect told police the girl's mother took off her clothes after the 3-year-old had spilled ice cream of herself. Kaster, Speer's girlfriend, told detectives that she had been babysitting the little girl when she left her boyfriend alone with her for up to 30 minutes.", "summary": "Mark Speer, 44, from Indiana, faces three child molestation charges and federal child pornography charges .

Rochae Davis, 15, pictured with her mother Simone, says she was arrested by armed police because they mistook an afro-comb tucked into her waistband for a gun .

The number of seriously overweight children has soared in recent years as Ministers have failed to tackle the problem, said Professor Paul Gately. Official statistics suggest childhood obesity rates have plateaued in recent years \u2013 although one in three 11-year-olds is still overweight or obese. But Prof Gately, who treats obese patients, said the figures disguised the fact that the country\u2019s fat youngsters were now \u2018getting fatter\u2019. Speaking at an event to discuss whether people were too worried about childhood obesity, he said the problem was \u2018much worse\u2019 than many feared. Overall rates had stabilised, but only because middle-class families had started heeding advice to eat healthily and take more exercise, he said. He added: \u2018Unfortunately, those children who are already obese are getting fatter. So more deprived communities are getting more obese.\u2019 He continued: \u2018We have 140,000 children in the UK who are so obese that if they were adults they would be immediately eligible for surgery.\u2019 Society had to \u2018think very carefully about that\u2019, he told a meeting at the Policy Exchange think-tank in London, because \u2018obese children tend to become obese adults\u2019. Under recently published guidelines, adults should be considered for weight-loss surgery if they have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more and \u2018very poorly controlled\u2019 type 2 diabetes. A BMI of 30 is equivalent to a 5ft 6in woman weighing 13st 9lb, or a 5ft 11in man of 15st 6lb. Any patient with type 2 diabetes and a BMI over 35 should also be considered for weight-reduction surgery, according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Britain now has 140,000 \u2018super-fat\u2019 children who will need gastric bands as adults if they do not slim down . Teenagers rarely have fat-loss surgery, with only 60 such operations taking place last year. However, as The Mail on Sunday revealed last month, patients are getting younger, with a 12-year-old boy recently going under the knife. Prof Gately, an exercise and obesity specialist at Leeds Metropolitan University, believes successive governments squandered billions on scattergun attempts to protect all children from obesity \u2013 when only some were actually \u2018at risk\u2019. Arguing many obese people were victims of circumstance, he claimed the current Government\u2019s policy of emphasising \u2018personal responsibility\u2019 over weight led to people feeling blamed, which was counterproductive. rofessor Paul Gately (pictured) says the number of seriously overweight children has soared in recent years as Ministers have failed to tackle the problem . And he accused local councils of spending only minuscule amounts on obesity prevention or on helping those affected, even though the problems \u2018dwarfed\u2019 other public health issues that had money lavished on them, such as sexually transmitted infections.

After two days of testimony attempting to show that Sterling paid the full $1.8million price for the Spanish-style duplex, there's little to hide. The question is whether a judge will make Stiviano relinquish the home, three luxury cars, including a Ferrari, and millions of dollars in cash, jewelry and clothing that an accountant valued conservatively at $3.6million.

Stiviano denied that some of the 18 bank accounts where checks were deposited even belonged to her. When asked if it was mere coincidence that identical amounts left Sterling's company and then showed up in accounts used to purchase the home, Stiviano pleaded ignorant and said she hadn't signed the checks.

Steiner was hoping that the perpetrators had not found his prosthetic under the seat, but the expensive running blade was nowhere to be found. Steiner says the artificial leg will not do the thieves any good because it was custom-fitted for his height and leg length, and can only be used for running. The cancer survivor says he seldom leaves anything of value in the car, but on Monday night he went out with his family to celebrate his birthday and forgot the blade and his other possessions in the backseat.

+{"article": "Target: Charles Dickens was the victim of an attempted attack on his carriage in 1862 . Charles Dickens is today venerated as one of England's greatest ever literary heroes - but he was not always treated with such respect. Newly rediscovered records reveal that at the height of his fame, the celebrated novelist was targeted by thugs who tried to overturn his carriage on his journey home. Dickens also had hay stolen from his home at Gad's Hill Place near Rochester in Kent, and complained about rubbish from the local pub being thrown into his garden. His struggles with the neighbours came to light in a series of newspaper cuttings from the British Newspaper Archive which have been unearthed by Bygone Kent magazine. The author moved into Gad's Hill in 1856, using the money he had earned from novels such as Oliver Twist, A Chrismas Carol and David Copperfield. He used to take the train from London to Higham, the nearest station to his home, before getting in a horse-drawn carriage to take him the rest of the way. But in June 1862, his regular route almost got him in trouble - as reported by local paper the South Eastern Gazette, which wrote about a 'diabolical attempt to overturn Mr C. Dickens' carriage' by farm worker James Stedman. Dickens was supposed to arrive at Higham at 10.30pm to be met by his groom, James Marsh, but he missed the train and the groom returned to Gad's Hill. The newspaper reported: 'A little distance on he found two rollers lying across the road, which, had they not been perceived in time, would have caused serious mischief. 'James Munn, a fellow workman of the prisoner, had accompanied Stedman from Strood to Higham by the 9.30, and when passing through the village saw Mr Dickens' carriage drive down to the station. 'The prisoner immediately afterwards went into a field and drew the two rollers across the road to upset the carriage on its return. Munn at the time held the gate open for the prisoner.' Transport: Dickens pictured in a horse-drawn carriage with his wife and daughters . Home: Dickens moved in to Gad's Hill Place, near Rochester in Kent, in 1856 . After the incident, Stedman sought refuge in a pub across the road from Dickens' home, where he played skittle - but was soon caught by the police. He was charged at Rochester Magistrates' Court with 'placing a horse-roller, and also a hand roller, on the middle of the turnpike road, at a late hour on Saturday night, with the intention of upsetting the carriage of Mr C. Dickens, which was returning from the Higham railway station'. Stedman pleaded drunkenness as his excuse, but a month later it emerged that he had done the same thing on a different road in a bid to overturn someone else's carriage, and he was sentenced to two months' hard labour. In 1859, George Blackman was jailed for three days after he stole hay from Dickens' home, which was one of the grandest in the area.

The controversial, record-breaking batsman trails only captain Alastair Cook in the all-time list of England's most prolific Test centurions - having made 23, before he was sacked 13 months ago. The 34-year-old is hoping to resurrect his career with his adopted country after new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves hinted that a return to county cricket - and first-class form - may put him back in the reckoning after all.

Surrey, who de-registered him six months ago after a summer in which he played only Twenty20 cricket, appear to be strong favourites to re-sign him - as long as he can secure a release from his arrangement to play in the Indian Premier League, which clashes with the start of the English domestic season. Pietersen was axed after England's 2013-14 Ashes whitewash defeat, and ECB managing director Paul Downton subsequently described his 'disengagement' with his team-mates. He struggled for form, and fitness, in the summer that followed but rediscovered both for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash this winter.

Ukip is on 12 per cent, well down on last year's peak of 19 per cent, with the Liberal Democrats showing signs of a modest recovery, on nine per cent. The Greens have slipped back to five per cent. The poll is the mirror image of a YouGov survey over the weekend, which put Labour on 36 per cent and the Tories on 32 per cent. An Opinium poll, meanwhile, yesterday put the Tories ahead, on 34 per cent to Labour's 33 per cent. Tbe ComRes poll finds Mr Cameron has extended his lead over Mr Miliband over which of them is best suited to lead the country . An exclusive ComRes poll for the Daily Mail and ITV news puts David Cameron and the Conservatives up one point on last week with 36 per cent, while Ed Miliband's Labour is on 32 per cent, down three points . The survey comes after last week's bruising TV encounter between the two main party leaders and interviewer Jeremy Paxman (pictured) Following Thursday\u2019s television grilling by Mr Paxman, half of all adults in Britain think Mr Cameron would make a better Prime Minister -- 50 per cent -- compared to three in ten -- 29 per cent -- who back Mr Miliband. This represents a fall of four points for the Labour leader on the last ComRes poll, conducted last week before the TV clash. Incredibly, 18 per cent of Labour voters think that Mr Cameron would make a better Prime Minister than Mr Miliband, suggesting even some of his party's own supporters are unconvinced. This compares to just one per cent of Conservative voters who think that Mr Miliband would be the better Prime Minister.

+{"article": "DNA molecules extracted from fish sperm is being used to develop new types of flame retardant materials. Scientists recently discovered that DNA is highly resistant to fire. And in a series of experiments, the researchers coated cloth in the DNA from herring sperm cells and found it converts to a ceramic-like material when exposed to extreme heat. Cotton layered with DNA molecules resists burning as the genetic material forms a ceramic-like coating over the fabric, shown in the bottom image in the photograph above, while untreated cotton will burn readily (top) This char-like foam then helps to prevent the flames from catching alight on the material. Researchers behind the work believe DNA could provide a natural and environmentally-friendly way of protecting fabrics from fire. DNA was thought to be a delicate and easily damaged material. However, in recent years scientists have discovered it can survive the harsh conditions of space and even the heat of reentry. Scientists who attached small double strands of DNA to the outer casing of a rocket said they were 'completely surprised' when more than half the samples remained intact. This was despite temperatures soaring to more than 1,000\u00b0C (1,800\u00b0F) during the short flight to sub-orbital space and back, and it raises the possibility of extraterrestrial life molecules arriving on Earth from space. The Texus-49 sub-orbital mission launched from the European base of Esrange in Kiruna, northern Sweden, and was originally intended to study the influence of gravity on the genes of human cells carried inside the rocket. But scientists decided, in addition, to test the effects space travel has on DNA when carried at three positions on the rocket's outer casing - and found it survived. Currently many materials including furniture, such as sofas, are coated in chemical flame retardants that have been found to be accumulating in the environment and have been linked to infertility, cancers and birth defects. Professor Giulio Malucelli, a materials scientist at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, has been leading the research. Speaking to Mail Online, he said: 'DNA has a peculiar chemical structure that is intumescent-like. 'This means that it possesses some flame retardant features that could be exploited for conferring fire resistance to fabrics and also to low melting plastics.' He added that DNA could be particularly useful as a way of making textiles flame retardant. Writing in the journal Polymer, he and his colleagues said: 'We have explored its flame retardant activity by applying as a surface coating on cotton fabrics and observed that on exposure to heat, the DNA was able to form a foamed char on the surface of the fabric. 'DNA has proven to be an efficient renewable, natural flame suppressant and retardant, due to its intrinsic intumescent features.' Biologists have known for some time that DNA is extremely sensitive to heat as it the helical structure can deform out of shape when it is heated even gently. Professor Malucelli and his colleagues, however, found that when it is exposed to temperatures above 200\u00b0C (392\u00b0F), its properties change causing it to form a foam.

Pictured are children being kept at a centre to prevent them becoming victims of the black market trade in body parts . Six albinos have been killed in the southern African country of Malawi since December. File image used . Six albinos have been killed in the impoverished southern African country since December, according to the Association of Persons with Albinism in Malawi. Boniface Massah, the organisation's director, said Malawian albinos are 'living in fear of being attacked or killed' because of the recent spate of murders. Belief in witchcraft runs deep in Malawi and albino body parts are often used in rituals. Even the bodies of dead albinos are sometimes exhumed and sold. Earlier this week, UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein denounced attacks against albinos as 'stunningly vicious, with children in particular being targeted'. Countries in east and west Africa are worst affected, and Tanzania near Malawi has one of the highest attack rates, where body parts sell for around $600 and an entire corpse fetches $75,000. Meanwhile, Tanzanian police said they had arrested 225 unlicensed traditional healers and soothsayers during a special operation carried out in several parts of the east African country and due to be extended to all 30 regions.

He added the police campaign would target the entire network of gangsters, traders and witchdoctors, adding that 97 of those detained had already appeared in court. The statement also appealed to religious leaders, traditional elders, politicians and journalists 'to continue the awareness campaign against superstitious beliefs that are holding back the development of our country.' The announcement comes after President Jakaya Kikwete said the ongoing attacks against people with albinism, whose body parts are used for witchcraft, were 'disgusting and a big embarrassment for the nation'.

The police chief on duty during the Hillsborough disaster today apologised for lying to officials about ordering the gates to the stadium to be opened, leading to a deadly crush which killed 96 Liverpool fans. As the disaster unfolded, David Duckenfield told officials from the Football Association that 'some fans have got in through a gate' - which he admitted today was a 'terrible lie'. The former officer said that he 'apologised unreservedly' for failing to confess that he had personally ordered police to open the gates in order to relieve overcrowding at the turnstiles of the Sheffield stadium. After the gates were opened fans rushed into the terraces, causing dozens of people to be crushed under the weight of bodies. Mr Duckenfield was the officer overseeing the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Notthingham Forest on April 15, 1989, even though he had been promoted just two weeks previously and had never been in charge of policing a football match before. Yesterday he told the inquest into the fans' deaths that he was 'not the best man for the job' given his inexperience, and today he gave evidence about his decision to open Gate C eight minutes before kick-off. After the gate opened an estimated 2,000 fans poured in, heading straight for a tunnel leading directly to the already-packed central pens three and four, behind the goal. Mr Duckenfield, 70, today recounted a conversation he had with FA officials Graham Kelly and Glen Kirton minutes after the match was abandoned amidst the chaos. He denied the suggestion that he had said the gates were 'stormed', and claimed he told the men 'something like, \"Some fans have got in through a gate.\"' He continued: 'I was pointing out that fans had gained unauthorised access to the ground. What I didn't say to Mr Kelly, I didn't say, \"I have authorised the opening of the gates,\" I didn't tell him that.' Christina Lambert QC, counsel for the inquest, asked: 'Do you consider now that you told them a lie?' Mr Duckenfield replied: 'Yes, ma'am. I certainly now appreciate it was wrong and completely open to misinterpretation.' He added: 'I was probably deeply ashamed, embarrassed, greatly distressed and I probably didn't want to admit to myself or anyone else, what the situation is. 'What I would like to say the Liverpool families is this, I regret that omission and I shall regret it to my dying day. 'I said something rather hurriedly, without considering the position, without thinking of the consequences and the trauma, the heartache and distress that the inference would have caused to those people who were already in a deep state of shock, who were distressed. 'I apologise unreservedly to the families and I hope they believe it is a very, very sincere apology.'

Van Gaal's decision to select the 29-year-old in the Under 21s is indicative of the United manager's ongoing concerns over the Colombian international's fitness levels. However, the United boss usually asks senior players to play at this level only if they are on their way back from injury. Falcao has been injury free since recovering from a thigh injury at the end of November and is unlikely to be pleased at being asked to drop down a level at a time when he is desperately trying to prove he is worth a permanent deal. United officials say Falcao, one of the most feared strikers in world football before he suffered a cruciate ligament injury last January, was chosen to ensure he would be sharp for the first-team's clash with Spurs at the same venue on Sunday afternoon. Falcao heads the ball towards goal but his drought goes on after another unsuccessful outing . Sportsmail reported earlier this year that Falcao feels he has to work twice as hard to impress his manager as some other players and has been less than thrilled at times to hear his manager question his fitness levels. But on this evidence he will do well to win a recall from Louis van Gaal after an anonymous performance. In a poor first half Falcao dallied too long on two opportunities and his only other action of note came when he deflected fellow striker James Wilson's goal-bound effort wide from an offside position.

Aggressive, brave, attacking captaincy choices have been the building blocks for the best sides in the World Cup so far. Brendon McCullum, AB de Villiers and today Michael Clarke are proving that despite the wickets by-and-large being a paradise for batsmen, their ingenuity can and does lead to success. Yet Misbah brings his own unique style of captaincy to the table with a calm demeanour, even in the face of collapse and struggle, that breeds belief within his side and almost earned them a shock win.

Sarah Marquis claims she was 'rendered infertile' by doctors at Homerton Hospital in Hackney, East London, after her appendix burst in 2008. The 41-year-old lawyer is suing Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for \u00a31.5million in the belief that it is to blame for her infertility. Sarah Marquis, 41, is suing Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust after a botched operation left her infertile . But while the trust admits causing her injuries, it claims it does not owe her so much money in compensation as if she had been able to give birth she would not be earning as much. Instead it believes she is entitled to \u00a3300,000, with lawyers acting on its behalf telling the High Court that Ms Marquis's career would have been hampered if she'd ever given birth. The Court heard how the woman was admitted to hospital in 2008 after complaining of abdominal pains at her GP. She was treated with painkillers for three days before surgeons decided to remove the inflamed organ. But by the time they got round to operating, Ms Marquis's appendix had burst and an abdominal infection had set in. As a result she lost her ability to have children naturally. Describing the hospital's role in her ordeal, Ms Marquis's counsel Cara Guthrie said: 'Had it not been for the negligence of the defendants, Ms Marquis\u2019 appendix would not have perforated. 'She would have made a rapid and uncomplicated recovery, avoiding an extended hospital stay, and she would not have been rendered infertile.' As a result of the botched operation Ms Marquis had to take time off from her \u00a385,000 a year job and missed out on promotions abroad, she added. While the Trust's barrister admitted it was to blame for the complications, he denied her claim that she was entitled to \u00a31.5million. The 41-year-old lawyer was treated at Homerton Hospital in Hackney, East London, )pictured above) in 2008 . Lawyers acting on behalf of the trust said Ms Marquis, who is also a Labour councillor, would not have been earning as much money if she had a baby. The hearing at the High Court (above) continues . He argued that rather than move up the career ladder her earnings would have slowed down as a result of giving birth. 'The Trust acknowledges the fault on its part that caused your injuries and it is sorry for that,' said Bradley Martin. '(But) the possibilities are that you would have got pregnant naturally in the six months you and your partner decided to really try for a baby after the negligence. Speaking of her long term partner who she began living with shortly after the surgery he added: 'You moved in together in order to have a baby.'

Led Zeppelin veteran Mr Page, 71, has sounded the fears for his Grade I listed house in Holland Park, West London - a stone's throw from the Take That star Mr Williams' \u00a317.5million mansion. The pop star, who bought Michael Winner's former 46-room home in 2013, first sparked Mr Page's ire last month with plans for an extension including a lift and recording studio. Not a whole lotta love: Former Take That singer Robbie Williams wants to extend his London mansion (left) - which allegedly could harm the Grade I lsited home (right) of his neighbour, Led Zeppelin veteran Jimmy Page . Take that, Robbie! The singer (left) has received a fresh complaint from his neighbour Jimmy Page (right) Then Mr Wiliams submitted plans for a two-storey basement with a swimming pool - prompting drastic action from Mr Page, who has been in his house for 43 years. The Led Zeppelin guitarist hired three firms - architects, structural engineers and town planners - to prepare three separate reports on why the development should be blocked. His biggest fear is that vibrations from the building works could harm his 1870s home, which he describes as a 'masterpiece'. Over the years he has conserved the house as a 'custodian' and claims his restorative works have been labelled 'exemplary' by English Heritage. Described as one of the most important homes in the borough, the red-brick tower house was saved from demolition in the 1960s following a campaign led by John Betjeman and Evelyn Waugh. In his latest objection to Kensington and Chelsea Council, Mr Page wrote: 'Similar schemes have been carried out on other properties in the area locally and each time the level of vibration cause during the works has caused concern about the effect on decorative finishes of [my] house. Stairway to bedlam: Robbie Williams's latest plans include a basement complete with a swimming pool, right . Williams bought the house - which is the former home of Michael Winner - with his wife Ayda Field in 2013 . 'The work now proposed is much nearer than other major excavations carried out so far and the consequences for the building fabric and decorative finishes... may well be catastrophic if this project is allowed to proceed.' Mr Page's concerns have been supported by a report carried out on his behalf by historical building consultants Andrew Townsend Architects. Mr Townsend, who has been practising as an architect for nearly 30 years, described Mr Page's house as 'one of the most important houses built in this country in the nineteenth century'. 'Excessive vibration from building works to the adjoining property could have disastrous effects on these decorative finishes', he wrote.

Even the founder of the Roman empire, Emperor Augustus claimed that he had 'found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble'. But new research by historians at the University of California Los Angeles has now cast doubt on this boast. Scroll down to explore ancient Rome in 3D . This reconstruction by historians at the University of California shows how Rome would have looked under the rule of Augustus and reveals that many of the buildings were made from brick (shown in grey) while only a few temples were constructed from marble (pink) Using architectural computer modelling software they have been able to reconstruct the entire city to reveal how it would have looked during the rule of Augustus between 44BC and 14AD. The Pantheon, Trajan's Market and the Colosseum have remained standing for nearly 2,000 years. Scientists claim to have found a 'secret' ingredient in Roman concrete that helped it endure the elements. Using X ray beams at the Advanced Light Source (ALS), researchers were able to study a reproduction of Roman volcanic ash-lime mortar. In the concrete walls of Trajan's Markets, constructed around 110 CE, this mortar binds cobble-sized fragments of tuff and brick. Scientists looked at the mineralogical changes that took place in the curing of the mortar over a period of 180 days and compared the results to 1,900 year old samples of the original. The team discovered that the volcanic ash creates a crystal structure that prevents tiny cracks from spreading. They also found that the use of str\u00e4tlingite crystals in the material showed no corrosion, with their smooth surface suggesting stability. They found that in fact only a small proportion of the buildings in Rome at the time were converted from brick into marble. Indeed, the few buildings that were built from marble were hidden from view within the city landscape, meaning many historical discriptions of the city's beauty were perhaps exaggerated. Their discovery suggests that the claim attributed to Augustus may have been more of a metaphor than a literal boast. Dr Diana Favro, who led the work, said: 'Many scholars have looked at Augustus\u2019 claim from a political standpoint, as a metaphor for him transforming a republic into an empire. 'I wanted to see if Rome literally transformed under his rule. Given the literary descriptions and artwork, I thought these glittering marble temples on high would be very visible, but they were not.' Dr Favro used information from archaeological and historical records to produce the computer model that can show how the city evolved during Emperor Augustus' rule. Buildings constructed from marble were shaded with pink while those that were made from brick were shaded brown. Those under construction were yellow. When the researchers examined the model, they found just a few buildings were clad with marble, including the Temple of Venus and the Basilica Julia.

+{"article": "Across the globe there are millions of 'letters' and 'numbers' hiding among buildings and in the landscape of the Earth. The shapes can be spotted in satellite images and include buildings shaped like the letter 'A', trees planted in the shape of an 'E' and circular marks in the landscape that resemble 'Os' or zeros. A pair of designers has created a tool to help seek out these natural and manmade shapes and is hoping to use the findings to develop software as well as a new font. The Aerial Bold project was set up by German designer Benedikt Gro\u00df and geographer Joey Lee. Their tool lets people scour Mapbox images to find letters, numbers and characters in the landscape (pictured) The project began as a Kickstarter campaign, set up by German designer and computer scientist Benedikt Gro\u00df and Californian geographer Joey Lee. They raised $11,492 (\u00a37,630) and have since set up the Aerial Bold crowdsourcing tool. \u2018While satellites orbit around the Earth taking thousands of images each day, we have limited idea about what unique features actually live on those photographs,\u2019 said the pair. \u2018Aerial Bold is as much about developing new methods of mapping features on the Earth\u2019s surface, as it is about generating the first map and typeface of the planet. German researchers recently developed a computer system that can scan Google Earth satellite images looking for faces. Called Google Faces, it was developed by German design studio Onformative and uses an algorithm that can highlight land masses and terrains with face-like features. The system scans the world, switches to the next zoom level, and starts the scan again taking snapshots and coordinates of the faces it finds. Seeing faces and other shapes in objects and landscapes is known as pareidolia. It is also the tendency to hear hidden messages when songs are played backwards. Human eyes can spot faces, letters and numbers easily and this helps them recognise friends and see patterns. It is harder for computers to mimic this behaviour and software must be trained to do so. \u2018In order to develop the smartest and robust letterform detection and classification algorithm, we need to find dozens of real world \"training data\" for each letter, number, or character that we are interested in including in Aerial Bold. \u2018These training data include examples all of the possible shapes of \"A's\", \"Z's\", \"6's\", \"\u2764's\", and so on that we might be able to see in aerial imagery.\u2019 This database will help researchers at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence at HS Weingarten to automate what the designers call \u2018the planetary search for letterforms.\u2019 Once trained, this algorithm could be used to automatically find words and letters on images. One example could be to find business addresses using visual search - such as all shops on a Street View map where people can buy lottery tickets. The tool lets people scan through Mapbox satellite images and catalogue all the letters, numbers and characters they find. Users begin with a grid divided into 21 rectangles.

'The Vice President opted to quarantine himself because he wants to lead by example,' Sierra Leone's Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Theo Nicol said. Sam-Sumana's dramatic quarantine comes as Sierra Leone is experiencing a rise in new Ebola cases which prompted President Ernest Bai Koroma to reinstate restrictions on Saturday.

Official figures out yesterday also show a decline in families living wholly off state handouts. Along with a report last week showing record numbers in work, the figures provide fresh evidence that Iain Duncan Smith's reforms are nudging more welfare claimants into jobs. The Work and Pensions Secretary's apparent success was obscured however by the fall-out of David Cameron's decision to quit by 2020 \u2013 and the continuing focus on politicians' kitchens. Official figures show 15.9 households have no-one in work, down from almost 19 per cent in 2010 .

But yesterday's figures from the Office for National Statistics indicate the reforms are helping to switch large numbers of people from a life on welfare handouts to jobs and earnings. The count showed that the number of jobless households with at least one working age adult fell from 3,763,000 in the last three months of 2010 to 3,149,000 at the end of last year. The 16 per cent drop was a result of unemployed people finding jobs and the economically inactive \u2013 those previously uninterested in working \u2013 moving into the labour market.

Experts have been divided on when mankind caused a lasting impact on the Earth's geology with some suggesting 1964 when the fallout from atomic testing became apparent.

British researchers have now pinpointed 1610 because of the impact felt by an irreversible transfer of crops and species between the New and Old Worlds . The Anthropocene is the name of a proposed geological epoch that may soon enter the official Geologic Time Scale. It refers to a time in which human permanently changed the planet. According to the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), we are officially in the Holocene epoch, which began 11,700 years ago after the last major ice age. Some experts argue we should now change the name to 'Anthropocene'. This is from from anthropo, for 'man,' and cene, for 'new'. But up until now, experts have been divided on when mankind caused a lasting impact on the Earth's geology with some suggesting 1964 when the fallout from atomic testing became apparent. Researchers at UCL said that 1610 - when William Shakespeare's Cymbeline was first performed - marked the start of the human-dominated geological epoch known as the Anthropocene. Previous epochs began and ended due meteorite strikes, sustained volcanic eruptions and the shifting of the continents. The study, published in Nature, said human actions are now changing the planet producing a new geological epoch. But to define an epoch scientists must pinpoint and date a global environmental change that has been captured in natural material, such as rocks, ancient ice or sediment from the ocean floor. Such a marker - like the chemical signature left by the meteorite strike that wiped out the dinosaurs - is called a golden spike. Comparing the major environmental impacts of human activity over the past 50,000 years against these two formal requirements just two dates were in the running - 1610 when the impact of the discovery of The Americas began to be felt and 1964. Scientists said the 1492 arrival of Europeans in the Americas, and subsequent global trade, moved species to new continents and oceans on an unprecedented level, resulting in a global re-ordering of life on Earth. They also found a golden spike that can be dated to the same time - a pronounced dip in atmospheric carbon dioxide centred on 1610 and captured in Antarctic ice-core records. Geologists have named the 1610 dip in carbon dioxide the 'Orbis Spike'. They chose the Latin word for 'world' because this golden spike was caused by once-disconnected peoples becoming globally linked. According to the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), we are officially in the Holocene epoch, which began 11,700 years ago after the last major ice age .

The Old Trafford captain and the Stoke defender pulled on gloves during a night-in at Rooney's Cheshire mansion last month - but Bardsley's wife Tanya dismissed the incident as a joke. With only a small space in which to work in Rooney's lounge, the pair trade light blows for just under a minute before Bardsley sends Rooney reeling. The England striker lies motionless under a chair for several seconds before the video, obtained by The Sun, cuts out. Wayne Rooney, a big boxing fan, posted this picture on his Instagram with professional boxer Paul Smith . Phil Bardsley's wife Tanya moved to defuse the furore by claiming the video had been a joke . 'Wayne had everybody worried when he hit the floor like that,' a source told the newspaper. 'He made such a thud when he went down and he was just on his back with his eyes closed, not moving. 'People were scared he had really banged his head and done some lasting damage. 'Everyone realised it was a stupid thing to do, but they just got carried away.' Bardsley's wife Tanya later hit back at the furore caused by the release of the video. She tweeted: 'Seen the sun, 2 mates havin a laugh video doesn't show Wayne jumping straight up and laughing with Phil #cleveredit.' The video is believed to have been filmed on February 22, the day after United lost 2-1 at Swansea. Rooney is wearing a pair of white Adidas gloves while Bardsley pulls on a pink pair. They appear to be sparring gloves rather than the smaller, less padded sets worn in professional fights. Neither man has a headguard on and while Bardsley is wearing shoes, Rooney is in his socks. After touching gloves, they circle each other before Bardsley throws a left hand. Rooney paws back without connecting. Bardsley is the more aggressive throughout, and tries to go for Rooney's body, pushing him back. The pair separate but again Bardsley comes on strongly, landing a right uppercut. Rooney tries to respond but misses wildly before his former team-mate bides his time and throws the shot that sends Rooney backwards, narrowly avoiding a chair as he hits the deck.

Now an interactive infographic has been created that tracks the number and history of nuclear weapons in the nine nations responsible for many of these warheads . The latest infographic uses data from the 'Nuclear Notebook', which since 1987 has tracked the number and type of the world's nuclear arsenals. 'I don't think people truly understand just how many of these weapons there are in the world,' said Rachel Bronson, executive director of the Bulletin, who publishes the notebook. 'The interactive is a way to see, immediately, who has nuclear weapons and when they got them, and how those numbers relate to each other. 'It is a startling experience, looking at those comparisons.' Russia and the US have most nuclear weapons, followed by the UK and France, according to the graphic. It creators, Hans Kristensen and Robert Norris, from the Federation of American Scientists say that in the past, host countries have learned of foreign nuclear weapons on their soil from the Nuclear Notebook. The left image shows a pock-marked landscape which is the the result of decades of nuclear weapons testing in the Nevada desert. There are currently more than 16,300 nuclear weapons in the world \u2013 enough to kill everyone in on the planet 100 times over. Pictured on the right is a mushroom cloud rising above the Nevada desert in 1953 . 'For instance, Japan - which was the target of two atomic bomb attacks and has a law against nuclear weapons on its territory - learned from the Notebook that there were US nuclear weapons on Chichi Jima and Iwo Jima,' the authors write. '[It also learned] about an enormous and varied US nuclear arsenal on Okinawa, US nuclear bombs stored on the mainland at Misawa and Itazuki air bases, and nuclear-armed US Navy ships stationed in Sasebo and Yokosuka.' Data for the US on the interactive map has been compiled using declassified documents from the US government, many of which were obtained using Freedom of Information requests. They combined this with figures from congressional hearings, specialty magazines, and confidential sources. 'Creating estimates for other nuclear-armed states can be more challenging because not all provide as much information as the United States,' the authors write. For instance, Britain and France have published some information about their arsenals, but much is still unavailable.

+{"article": "Just as I can't travel to Liverpool without thinking of The Beatles, so I can't travel to Los Angeles without thinking of The Beach Boys. Their songs of beaches, baggies, boards and bikinis painted a picture of a sun-kissed paradise, and their voices sounded as bright and as laid-back as California itself. This time I was travelling specifically to discover the people and places that inspired the band. I started in Hawthorne where the three Wilson brothers - Brian, Carl and Dennis - were raised, and joined up with guitarist Al Jardine and vocalist Mike Love to form a group. The Beach Boys were famously non-surfers but that didn't stop them tapping into the sun, sea and sand culture of the Golden State . The Wilson family home on 119th Street, where the boys taped their first single Surfin' in 1961, was demolished to make way for Interstate 105. The rest of the street remains though, its neat lawns, porches and fluttering flags reminders of the group's clean-cut All-American origins. A redbrick memorial now stands at the site of the Wilson house, with a bas-relief frieze showing the group carrying a surfboard and a plaque noting that the music conceived here 'broadcast to the world an image of LA as a place of sun, surf and romance'. Hawthorne is indeed a place of sun (263 days a year) but no surf and little romance. It's a charmless city that expanded on the back of the post-war aviation industry (Los Angeles International is only five miles away). I could see why the teenagers of the 1950s would get 'bugged' driving 'up and down the same old strip'. Hawthorne Boulevard, with its low-rise jewellery shops and furniture stores, is no place for the young. The Pizza Show (13344 Hawthorne) added a splash of colour when it arrived in 1956 and became a home from home for the fledgling Beach Boys. Now run by the son of the original owner, it retains its kitsch medieval Italian interior, with wrought iron chandeliers, tiled awnings and mock grilled windows. Surfin' safari: The town of Huntington Beach, where the surf is year round, is known as Surf City USA . Foster's Freeze (11969 Hawthorne), another gathering place, is a blue-roofed fast-food outlet that offers FOOD from one service hatch and ICE CREAM from another. When I arrived Louie Louie, a 1963 hit by The Kingsmen, was playing over speakers in the overhang. This was the very 'hamburger stand' where Brian Wilson saw a girl pull up in her father's Thunderbird and had the inspiration for Fun Fun Fun. Hawthorne High School, around the corner on El Segundo Boulevard, is where the Wilson boys and Jardine attended. The Beach Boys came back to play the 1969 prom and honoured the institution in their song Be True to Your School. The nearest surfing beach to Hawthorne is Manhattan, but the best is Huntington Beach, better known as Surf City USA. Here the sand is soft, the surf is year-round, and the broad beaches stretch for more than eight miles. The", "summary": "A trip though California to discover what inspired the blassic band .

'Tim is Tim and he will be good fun for everyone around the West Midlands for the time he is at Aston Villa I'm sure.' Pulis stressed West Brom will not need to use either the words of Sherwood, for whom the win on Tuesday was his first since taking the Villa post last month, or the disappointment of their defeat in that game to generate any additional motivation for Saturday's contest. With his players only one match away from a Wembley semi-final, Pulis - a beaten FA Cup finalist in 2011 as Stoke boss - said: 'I don't need to pin that (Sherwood's comments) up in the changing room.

+{"article": "Looking at someone who is overweight or obese can alter our sense of smell to make the scent of the world around us appear less pleasant, scientists have found. Researchers discovered viewing images of fat people caused participants in a study to rate odour samples as smelling worse - even though they were actually fragrance free. The scientists believe the effect may be caused by inbuilt negative bias that many people have towards those who are overweight and obese. Does looking at this image of an obese man on a bench conjure up a foul odour? You may have an inbuilt prejudice if it does, according to a new study by scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles . Surprisingly they also found that those who had a higher BMI themselves tended to give the scent samples a lower rating. This suggests that people who have their own weight problems are perhaps also the harshest critics of others who are fat. Sit ups help tone your stomach, while squats strengthen your legs and bottom - but love handles are particularly difficult to shift. Now scientists believe they have discovered a way to \u2018melt\u2019 the excess white fat in muffin tops by turning it \u2018brown\u2019. While white cells are responsible for muffin tops and flab in general, brown fat cells convert excess energy in food into heat. To make white cells behave like brown ones, researchers at the University of Bonn discovered a new signalling pathway. By experimenting on mice, Professor Alexander Pfeifer from the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University Hospital Bonn discovered a new signalling pathway for a molecule called adenosine. Adenosine is known to activate brown fat cells, and is typically released during stress. The adenosine signal is transmitted by the adenosine receptor A2A. If adenosine binds to this receptor in brown fat cells, fat burning is significantly stimulated. The researchers transferred A2A receptors from brown fat cells to white fat cells in mice and found they started to burn more fat. Dr Ayako Tomiyama, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said: 'You wouldn\u2019t think that not liking someone\u2019s weight could then be seen in a totally different sensory modality. 'It makes us think how else is weight stigma affecting our lives that we don\u2019t even know about? 'This is the first step in proving that the consequences of weight stigma could be very widespread in ways that we don\u2019t even know.' The researchers conducted two studies by showing participants two sets of images of people who were either overweight or normal weight. As they viewed each image, participants were asked to smell a container of lotion tinted with different food colourings and rate the scent. Each container was actually fragrance free and contained the same lotion. The researchers, whose work is published in the International Journal of Obesity, found that when images of overweight or obese people were displayed on the screen, participants gave worse ratings to the scent samples.

A multi-million pound masterpiece by 16th century artist El Greco has been reunited with its rightful owners more than seven decades after it was stolen by the Nazis. El Greco's 'A Portrait of a Gentleman' had been missing ever since the Gestapo raided the collection of Jewish banker Julius Priester in 1944. Mr Priester, a prominent art collector, had fled to Paris with his wife Camilla six years before, when Austria was annexed into Germany as part of the Anschluss in 1938. The couple, who moved to Mexico City two years later, never gave up hope of finding the 50 precious works which had been stolen. When the war ended in 1945, Mr Priester set about trying to recover his collection - a hunt his heirs took up on his death in 1954. That determination to trace it has been rewarded after a 70 year search, when it was discovered on sale through a London art dealer last year. Although the value of the painting's value is unknown, the world record price for an El Greco is \u00a39.2million. But it seems the emotional reward may have been even greater. When they were finally reunited with the oil painting, Mr Priester's heirs were thrilled to see it was still in the same frame it had when it was hanging above the dresser in the couple's Vienna dining room. Anne Webber, co-chair of the Commission for Looted Art in Europe, which helped reunite the Priesters with the painting, revealed they were 'absolutely delighted' to get it back. 'It was very moving when they saw it for the first time - it was still in the same frame it was in when it hung in Mr Priester's apartment,' she said. 'It has taken more than 70 years to reunite the painting with its rightful owners and we are delighted for the family.' Mr Priester's art collection, comprising of pieces by celebrated artists including Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van Dyke, was just one of many plundered from wealthy Jews on direct orders from Hitler. When the Nazis were defeated in 1945, Mr Priester set about trying to track down the whereabouts of his stolen art. He spent the best part of a decade searching for the art, working with the Austrian authorities to spread the word around the world. Reunited: The painting, which hung in the dining room, pictured, is still in its original frame . In 1953, the Austrian Federal Police wrote to Mr Priester to say his missing El Greco painting had been sold by the Gestapo to New York art brokers Knoedler, arriving in the city in 1952. However the dealer Frederick Mont refused to comply, denying all knowledge of the painting and thereby halting the investigation. Domenikos Theotokopoulos, better known as 'El Greco', was born in 1541 in Crete, into a wealthy family. He began his career as an 'icon painter', and by 1563, he was described as a 'master'.

Monsignor Kevin Wallin's public defender filed a sentencing request in federal court in Hartford on Monday citing Wallin's three decades of charitable service as well as more than 80 letters of support, including one from the late New York Cardinal Edward Egan.

Kevin Wallin, 63, dubbed 'Monsignor Meth', pleaded guilty in 2013 to a methamphetamine conspiracy charge and agreed to a potential prison sentence of 10 to 11 years . Already imprisoned for the past two years, he is now asking for a sentence of no more than four years in prison followed by a year of home confinement, 500 hours of community service and drug treatment. Sentencing is scheduled for March 24. 'The record evidence demonstrates that Kevin Wallin is an extraordinary man whose remarkable character and acts have touched thousands of people,' Wallin's public defender, Kelly Barrett, wrote in the sentencing request. 'Kevin tragically became a methamphetamine addict. He fell from grace and did criminal wrong, but has confessed his crimes and has been working hard to atone for them.' Barrett wrote that Wallin's numerous accomplishments include serving as pastor of St. Peter's Parish in Danbury and the Cathedral Parish in Bridgeport, volunteering with a variety of community groups, helping found an AIDS ministry program, leading an inner city charity group, serving on the Danbury Cultural Commission and serving on the board of directors of Sacred Heart University. Egan, who died earlier this month, was bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport from 1988 to 2000. He praised Wallin in a letter to the court. Wallin bought the Land of Oz & Dorothy's Place adult video and sex toy shop in North Haven and had apparently intended to launder drug proceeds . 'He was outstanding in the fulfillment of his assignments and in his concern for people in need,' Egan wrote. 'Father Wallin was held in highest regard as a dedicated clergyman and an outstanding citizen as well.' Federal prosecutors say Wallin committed serious crimes and most people convicted of conspiring to sell meth are sentenced to at least 10 years in prison. Federal investigators said Wallin had associates in California send him methamphetamine beginning in late 2008 or early 2009. By 2011, Wallin's partners were sending him one to three pounds of meth a month and Wallin was running the drug operation out of his apartment in Waterbury, investigators said. Wallin also bought the 'Land of Oz & Dorothy's Place' adult video and sex toy shop in North Haven and apparently intended to launder drug proceeds that totaled in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, federal agents said in court documents.

This news emerged during a panel discussion at the United Nations' Human Rights Council in Geneva, with more than 24 countries - including Indonesia and Australia - in attendance. At the meeting, which aims for the 'abolition of the death penalty', UN assistant secretary-general Ivan Simonovic called the practice an 'inhuman and outdated punishment'. Just days before the impending executions of Myuran Sukuraman (left) and Andrew Chan (right), Indonesia has revealed it could be reinstating its moratorium on the death penalty . He told the gathered countries there was no evidence death row stopped criminal activity, the UN News Centre reported. Mr Simonovic added it was 'too often applied to the poor and marginalised foot soldiers' rather than on those who were leading drug organisations. During the meeting, human rights organisation Franciscans International urged nations - singling out Indonesia - that still dole out the death penalty to adopt a moratorium and grant mercy to inmates on death row. In response, Indonesia diplomats said the death penalty was a constant topic discussed by their country, according to a summary of the debate. UN assistant secretary-general Ivan Simonovic called the death penalty an 'inhuman and outdated punishment' They also called on the countries that still had the death penalty to observe the full process of law. The officials went on further to say Indonesia already had a moratorium in place and could reinstate it for crimes they thought were most serious. In 2013, Indonesia executed its first prisoners after a four-year stay on executions, Fairfax Media reported. This comes as Australia plans to lodge an official complaint with Indonesia's Ambassador, Nadjib Kesoema, at their outrage and ethical displeasure with images of a Balinese police chief posing and smiling with Chan and Sukuraman during their transfer to Nusakambangan for their execution. This comes as Australia plans to lodge an official complaint with Indonesia's Ambassador, Nadjib Kesoema (above) The complaint is over images of a Balinese police chief posing and smiling with the Bali Nine duo, which caused outrage . One of the pictures depicts Djoko Hari Utomo, the police chief of the Balinese capital of Denpasar, placing his hand on Andrew Chan's shoulder and smiling for the camera. Another shows his hand on the shoulder of Myuran Sukumaran who was captured gazing up at the officer.

Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Rickie Lambert and Saido Berahino were named to face Scotland in November. Daniel Sturridge is fit again now too, but there are three new boys on the block. So what do the likes of Danny Ings, Charlie Austin and Harry Kane have to offer? Danny Ings . He\u2019s a very astute and clever player, aware of what\u2019s going on around him in midfield and around the penalty box. His movement and technical ability are good. Ings looks to go in behind the defender and to face up and receive the ball. He has a bit of pace as well. Here is a player who will really flourish if he ends up at Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester United because of the amount of chances he\u2019ll the get there. He has a big future. Burnley striker Danny Ings (right) is a a very astute and clever player with a bit of pace as well . Charlie Austin . What people don\u2019t appreciate about Charlie is that he\u2019s scored 15 goals this season yet because QPR are fighting relegation, he\u2019s not had that many chances. He is a born finisher, instinctive in the way that Gary Lineker or Ian Rush was and perhaps the best of the three in that regard. I was with him at QPR and Charlie knows he has to work on his game outside the box, in his positioning and movement. But he will do that, because he is committed learner and though he\u2019s 25, you can see him improving over the next few years. QPR forward Charlie Austin has scored 15 Premier League goals this season, despite the club's struggles . Harry Kane . Harry\u2019s probably not quite as good a finisher as Charlie, but his all-round game is better. He can play off the front, he can play the one right up the top. His movement is excellent and technically he looks a really good player. His finishing is much more clinical now and he has range, from the header he scored against Arsenal, to shots outside and inside the box. In general, if a player is good enough for the senior squad, I don\u2019t see the sense in sending them back to the Under 21s. It\u2019s unlikely Kane will get much game time against Lithuania and Italy so he will probably go back to the U21s for the summer tournament. But once he has three or four senior games under his belt, there should be no going back. Harry Kane is the Premier League's form man - winning the January and February Player of the Month award . Verdict . I don\u2019t think England have had this amount of players to choose from up front since I was manager. Alan Shearer, Teddy Sheringham, Ian Wright and Michael Owen meant the likes of as Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand and Andrew Cole weren\u2019t first choice.

United haven't won the FA Cup since 2004 and landed any silverware since Sir Alex Ferugson left but the Dutchman says the competition must still be treated as a welcome bonus rather than the primary objective of the campaign. Louis van Gaal feels it is more important that Manchester Uited get back into Europe than win the FA Cup . Van Gaal agrees with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger that a top four finish is akin to winning a trophy . Ashley Young scored a late winner as United beat Newcastle in the Premier League on Wednesday . 'I always want to get the goals what we have set. And the goals we have set is the top four,' said van Gaal. 'A title is fantastic. When you win the FA Cup you are not in the Champions League which is important for the club, but you have won a title. So for the players it is fantastic, for the manager it is fantastic but our goal is to reach in our first year together a place in the Champions League.' Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that finishing in the top four was effectively winning a trophy and Van Gaal agrees. 'Yes, I think that he is right. I think that Arsene Wenger is saying always the right things. I think that for a club the Champions League is the highest level and that's why he is saying that. 'To finish in the first four is a fantastic result, I think. And for us, Manchester United, more I think.' Van Gaal is still expected to put a strong team out against Arsenal. Wayne Rooney in particular wants to add the only major club medal missing from his cv. The United boss, who has had to endure heavy criticism for the team's style of play despite a run of only two defeats in 22 matches, believes the result of the cup tie could also have a pyschological effect on the run-in for the all-important top four. 'Every match you play has an influence in the next match. So we are in a 'rat race' in the Premier League and the club who wins the FA match has a very good feeling for the next matches,' he said.

Van Gaal has been tetchy mood in the build-up to Monday night's game, feeling he has been misrepresented over claims that he has the best team in the Premier League, lacks a 20-goal-a-season striker and has a bad relationship with assistant Ryan Giggs, who sat stony-faced when United scored their last-minute winner at Newcastle on Wednesday", "summary": "Louis van Gaal's main priority is to get Manchester United back into Europe .

According to the federal copyright trial, the two sides have agreed on an exact figure of $16,675,690. That was divided with $5,658,214 going to Thicke, $5,153,457 to Williams, $704,774 to rapper T.I. and record companies pocketing the remainder. During opening arguments in the case, Richard Busch, the attorney representing Marvin Gaye's children Frankie and Nona Gaye had tallied the alleged damages at approximately $40 million. Besides seeking profits \u2014 including a claimed $4 million from 50 percent of the publishing earnings of Blurred Lines \u2014 the Gayes are seeking damages for a reduction of the fair market value of the worth of licensing Got to Give It Up, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Strangely, the Gayes filed the claim to counter a suit filed in August 2013 by Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell in which they asked a judge to declare that the song did not infringe on Gaye's copy written work. Changing story: Robin claims now he only said that he was inspired by Marvin Gaye's song to make it sound like he was involved in writing his hit, when in fact Pharrell did (seen here with model Emily Ratajkowski) Thicke is arguing that he didn't rip off Marvin Gaye's 1977 song Gotta Give It Up for mega hit Blurred Lines.

Standing up to bullies: Harnaam Kaur, 23, appeared on This Morning to talk about her experiences . Facial hair: Ms Kaur began growing a beard aged 16 after developing polycystic ovary syndrome . She is one of the millions of British adults who have been bullied at some point in their lives, with most targeted about their appearance. Ms Kaur, who is now an anti-bullying campaigner, appeared on ITV's This Morning which commissioned the survey to discuss her experiences. Her problems began after she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that causes excess hair growth. As a result, the teaching assistant endured years of cruel taunts about her looks and spent thousands of pounds desperately trying to get rid of her beard. But after converting to Sikhism, a religion that forbids cutting hair, she decided to embrace her looks and allowed her beard to grow.

Brave: Since becoming a Sikh, she has embraced her facial hair and appeared in a photography exhibition . Hard: Ms Kaur initially spent thousands trying to get rid of her facial hair but has now embraced it . PCOS is a common condition affecting a woman's ovaries, with three main features. These are cysts developing in their ovaries, the ovaries not regularly releasing eggs, and high levels of male hormones - 'androgens'. The syndrome is associated with irregular hormone levels in the body, including insulin. There is no cure for the condition, but medicine is available to treat symptoms such as excessive hair growth and fertility problems. Most women with the condition can get pregnant - but sometimes need a surgical procedure called laparoscopic ovarian drilling. This involves destroying tissue in the ovaries making androgens including testosterone . 'When I first started growing my beard it was for religious reasons but as the years have gone by I\u2019ve kept it for more personal reasons,' she said in an interview conducted after her photo was included in an exhibition celebrating the world's best facial hair.

And just in time for Easter, one of the world's foremost food scientists - Bernard Lahousse - has explained why Easter eggs taste so good. According to Mr Lahousse, it's all down to smell of chocolate which, when presented in Easter egg form, is enhanced. Happy memories associated with Easter firmly anchor positive feelings towards chocolate eggs . Mr Lahousse told FEMAIL: 'The smaller the chocolate layer is, the easier the chocolate will melt. 'So that is the advantage of Easter eggs; they melt easily and the aromas of the chocolate come into your nose quite fast.' There are a number of reasons why chocolate tastes so good - and like Mr Lahousse explained - the majority of them have to do with the way chocolate smells. 'Chocolate contains a lot of different aroma molecules,' he said. 'It has roasted molecules and fruity molecules. 'These molecules contain a lot of complexity which makes it possible for chocolate to be paired with a lot of ingredients. And it's not just the smell of chocolate that makes it so appealing. 'There are a lot of taste components contained within chocolate,' Mr Lahousse continued. 'We have sweetness, bitterness and sourness. Plus we can't disregard the fat component. This melts at body temperature and provides a nice sensation and fresh mouth feel in the mouth. So what happens to us when we eat chocolate? Why does it make us feel so good, so content... so happy? The small chocolate layers in an egg means we get an intense whiff of chocolate when we first bite into it . 'Chocolate contains a molecule called phenylethylamine, which chocolate is loaded with,' the scientist continued. This molecule is said to inspire feelings of love, which is why we feel good when eating it. 'Pairing chocolate with extra ingredients will enhance the feeling,' Mr Lahousse said. 'For instance, by adding long pepper or black pepper it [the molecule] will have more effect.' And finally it all goes down to pleasurable memories and the way your egg is presented to you. 'If you look at food more than half of experience lies outside of the taste. 'You taste what you make out of it; when you wrap it in a nice package, and it is presented to you by the people who love you, it will make the experience much better.' If you don't have the time to make chocolate from scratch, you can simply melt down any chocolate bar you have to make your own eggs. Once your chocolate is melted, it will need to be tempered. The cooling down process will take some time but if you want to hurry things along, just pop your chocolate into the freezer (no longer than 30 seconds). Place a stainless steel bowl over a bowl of hot water and add half of your chocolate to it. Keep aside the a quarter of the amount for the last bit of the process.

In what is thought to be a UK first, surgeons put four balloons under her scalp in a 'mohawk'. Jessica Brett, nine, from Lincoln was born with a huge mole covering a large part of her head. Doctors warned her parents if left untreated, it could become cancerous. And so, they inserted four balloons under her scalp, inflating them to grow excess skin to cover the mole . They then spent six months gently inflating the balloons with more than a pint and a half of saline solution, to stretch Jessica's skin. When enough excess skin had been created, the balloons were removed. Meanwhile surgeons also removed the mole. Then, the team were able to stretch the new skin over the gap, creating a normal scalp.

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. Instagram has launched a photo collage app called Layout. Users begin by selecting as many images, up to the maximum of nine, to feature in the collage (pictured left). As they add more images the layout of the collage changes and photos can be dragged between sections and different sized boxes as desired (right) It is branded in the same way as Instagram's other standalone timelapse app, Hyperlapse. 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. Pictures can be chosen from a phone's camera roll, or users can use the Photo Booth feature to set a timer and capture photos. There are a number of different tools which allow users to 'remix' their layout including mirror effects, flip, pinch to zoom, and rotate. The Faces tab scans all the photos in a user's camera roll and only shows those containing people. Once the Layout is complete it can be shared to Instagram or Facebook, or saved to their camera roll to be shared elsewhere. These photos can then be zoomed, flipped to form a mirror image, or turned upside down. Instagram said that of the collages already uploaded to the app, 90 per cent of these contain faces.

+{"article": "Whether it be in the boardroom or on the hunting ground, male competition can cause a sudden spike in testosterone levels. Now a new study has found a link between testosterone and the caring side of men when they return home from the 'hunt'. The study revealed that the higher a man's testosterone has risen during the day, the more the 'love hormone' oxytocin he tends to produce on his arrival home. The study was based on Tsimane people, who are an indigenous population of forager-farmers and hunters who live in the lowlands of Bolivia's Amazon basin. Pictured is a family who was involved in the study. Researchers claim the human hormone system is particularly well adapted to their lifestyle . The researchers also found that the increase in oxytocin was greater for those men who were absent longer . The study was based on Tsimane people, who are an indigenous population of forager-farmers and hunters who live in the lowlands of Bolivia's Amazon basin. Researchers claim the human hormone system is particularly well adapted to their lifestyle which revolves around small, tight-knit communities that produce their own food. 'Our goal was to look at the interaction between different hormones in motivating behaviour in a naturalistic context,' said Adrian Jaeggi, co-lead author at University of California, Santa Barbara. The study revealed that the higher a man's testosterone has risen during the day, the more the 'love hormone' oxytocin he tends to produce on his arrival home. The researchers also found that the increase in oxytocin was greater for those men who were absent longer, and linked with changes in testosterone (pictured) 'Hunting for subsistence and sharing meat is something people have done for hundreds of thousands of years.' Previous studies have shown that oxytocin makes people more cooperative while testosterone has the opposite effect. Jaeggi said he expected to see a trade-off between the two hormones and was surprised to find the positive relationship between them. When a man tells his wife or girlfriend she looks nice, it\u2019s not because of her new haircut. Instead, it\u2019s his hormones doing the talking. A study found that a whiff of the \u2018love chemical\u2019 oxytocin made men rate their partners as being more attractive. And German researchers recently said that oxytocin may also play a key role in monogamy, a trait that is rare among mammals, other than ourselves. The University of Bonn scientists showed 40 young men who claimed to be passionately in love pictures of their partners. They were asked how attractive they found the women after being given a placebo spray to sniff and a burst of oxytocin. Pictures of strangers and of long-term acquaintances, such as work colleagues were also shown. The men, who were in long-term relationships, also underwent scans to check how much the brain areas responsible for rewarding feelings lit up. Lead author Dirk Scheele said: \u2018When the men received the oxytocin instead of placebo, the reward system in the brain was very active when viewing their partner and they perceived them as more attractive than other women.", "summary": "Researchers tracked hormone levels of Tsimane people in Bolivia .

+{"article": "France is one step closer to legalising euthanasia after approving a bill that allows doctors to sedate terminally ill patients until they die. The bill stops short of recommending lethal injections and avoids the terms euthanasia or assisted suicide, but would give people 'the right to deep, continuous sedation until death'. This must be at the patient's request, but only when their condition is life-threatening in the short-term. Protests: Demonstrators gather near the French National Assembly holding white silhouettes as part of a silent protest against euthanasia in Paris on March 10. Slogans read: 'Let's relieve but do not kill' On March 10. pro-euthanasia demonstrators held signs reading: 'Francois let's act like Holland'. Euthanasia has been taking place in Holland for many years . The proposed measure was passed by a vote of 436 to 34 in France's lower house of Parliament, and it must now be debated by the Senate. Backed by the Socialist government, the bill would also force doctors in France to follow end-of-life instructions expressed by the patients themselves, or written in advance if they are no longer able to state their wishes. Almost one in 20 people in northern Belgium died using euthanasia in 2013, more than doubling the numbers in six years, a study released today showed. The universities of Ghent and Brussels found that since euthanasia was legalised in 2002, the acceptance of ending a life at the patient's request has greatly increased. While a 2007 survey showed 1.9 percent of deaths from euthanasia in the region, the figure was 4.6 percent in 2013. 'Euthanasia has been increasingly accepted by the patients as a valid option at the end of their life,' said Ghent University ethics professor Freddy Mortier. 'Physicians themselves are more inclined to comply with the wishes of the patients.\" Euthanasia is legal only in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg . Earlier this month in a speech at France's lower house of Parliament, Prime minister Manuel Valls praised 'a reform that proclaims the right to die peacefully, in dignity and without suffering'. The bill has stirred debate in France and prompted a call for the preservation of 'the prohibition of killing' by five high-profile Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders. It has prompted protests by those claiming the bill amounts to disguised euthanasia, as well as pro-euthanasia campaigners who believe it does not go far enough. Doctors are also divided about the idea. So-called terminal or 'palliative sedation' can involve medicating patients until they die naturally of their illnesses, or until they starve. The method does not actively kill patients, but some doctors say it can mean patients are sedated for weeks before they die, and that it may be more humane to euthanise. French debate over end-of-life legislation resurfaced last year over the case of comatose Frenchman Vincent Lambert. His wife wants doctors to stop life support but his parents disagree. The case is pending at the European Court of Human Rights. Some protesters claim the new bill amounts to disguised euthanasia, while others say it doesn't go far enough .", "summary": "France approves a bill allowing doctors to sedate patients until they die .

Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas Sr., who knew Byrd as he had to check in with the sheriff's department as a condition of his parole in 2006 after serving 26 years in prison for the murder of a woman during a robbery in 1980, also confirmed his identity earlier this week. Scroll down for video . What happened? Otis James Byrd, 54 (above), was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi after he was reported missing March 2 . Claiborne County officials prepare to leave a home in Port Gibson, Miss., where authorities were investigating the hanging death of Byrd . Lucas said that the body was found Thursday hanging by a bed sheet from a tree limb about 12 feet high, and that the man's feet were dangling about two feet off the ground. The hands on the body were not bound, he said. The results of an autopsy by the Mississippi Crime Lab to determine whether the death was homicide or suicide could take days, Lucas said. The hanging is being investigated by the FBI, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and the United States Attorney's office as well as the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. The feds are there to determine if it's a potential hate crime or other violation of federal law, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday. 'We simply don't know enough facts,' Holder told MSNBC. 'We do have a substantial federal presence to determine what the facts are.' Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong said Friday that after local authorities asked his department to check on a report that Byrd had been at a casino, video surveillance was recovered showing Byrd at the Riverwalk Casino on March 2. 'We didn't see anything of significance on the tape. He was just walking around the casino. We did not see him after that,' Armstrong said.

At 58, what May appears to be suffering from is a classic 50s fashion crisis. Having been there, I know the form this crisis takes. What happens is this. One day you survey yourself in the mirror and decide you\u2019re looking like a middle-aged frump and that if you don\u2019t watch out you\u2019ll soon be morphing, before your time, into a little old lady. Your wardrobe is in a rut. You buy the same boring basics for weekends and the same smart suits or skirts and tops for work, year in year out. So, in an effort to update yourself, you rush out and start buying things that will make you feel fresher, flirtier, more youthful. Unless you have teenage children to put you in your fashion place (and May doesn\u2019t have children), you may find yourself with a whole new wardrobe that just doesn\u2019t chime with your looks, age or, in May\u2019s case, profession. Husbands, being husbands, tend not to notice these things. Girlfriends don\u2019t want to upset or undermine you, so they generally keep schtum. In May\u2019s case, the trajectory was slightly different because it appears that for one brief year in her early 50s she did hit her fashion stride with a wardrobe of flatteringly cut separates in a stylish palette of navy, white, black and taupe. It\u2019s not known whether she feared they made her invisible, however, but what\u2019s certain is that since 2010 her style has been characterised by eccentric and flamboyant outfits. Her look has certainly changed over the years. In the early days after her election to Parliament in 1997, and the years from 2002 when she served in the Shadow Cabinet, her style evolved from ill-fitting suits in drab colours to garish: think of the voluminous orange mac she wore to the Tory conference in 2009. But once the Tories came into power and she was promoted to Home Secretary, she seemed to embark on a brief transformation after losing weight and finding her fashion feet. Shortly after, though, the crisis set in and has been growing worse, culminating in this week\u2019s sartorial disaster.

Wearing the glittery, brightly-colored objects as earrings or, in the case of men, lapel pins, is a show of support for a new bill which would plunge $5million in state funding into a program which supplies this form of birth control to low-income women. The jewelry has been purchased by more than 200 lobbyists and lawmakers in favor of the Colorado Family Planning Initiative, from web retailer Etsy, and is crafted out of resin by Dr Virginia Smith, an OB-GYN based in Ohio. Trending: Wearing these IUD replicas is a show of support for a new bill which would allocate $5million in state funding into a program which supplies this form of birth control to low-income women in Colorado . IUDs are small T-shaped implants which, when inserted into the uterus, prevent pregnancy from occurring for between three and 12 years, or simply until removed. IUDs (intrauterine devices) are small T-shaped implants which are fitted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. They work by interfering with the way sperm usually fertilize an egg, and are more than 99% effective. IUDs last anywhere between two and 12 years, depending on the type. The implants must be fitted and removed by licensed healthcare providers. Once they are removed, a woman can generally become pregnant straight away. The Colorado Family Planning Initiative has handed out an estimated 30,000 of these contraceptives since its inception in 2009, and up until now, has been grant-funded. According to ThinkProgress, this program has contributed to a 40per cent drop in teen births over the past five years. The new legislation, expected to be introduced on Friday, would allocate $5million of state funds to the cause, allowing IUDs to be fitted for free or at little cost in 68 clinics across Colorado. Some conservatives and anti-choice lawmakers, however, stand against the program, with some - including Republican Senator Kevin Lundberg - even incorrectly claiming IUDs cause abortions. Dr Jennifer Hyer, a Denver-based OB-GYN, dismissed these claims as neither 'medically' nor 'scientifically' accurate, in a statement distributed by NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado. 'They are among the most effective forms of contraception, especially for at-risk women, because they automatically prevent pregnancy,' she said.

Mother-of-two Kelly Richards admitted having sex with the 15-year-old during a three-month affair but was spared prison by a judge yesterday. The 36-year-old met the boy after he befriended one of her sons at church and she invited the teenager to her home for sleepovers with her children. Kelly Jane Richards, 36, was spared jail despite being described as having groomed the 15-year-old boy by inviting him to her home after meeting him at their Jehovah's Witness Church . During their encounters, Richards had told the boy: \u2018Don\u2019t tell anyone because I might get done for this.\u2019 But their relationship was uncovered after the teenager\u2019s mother placed a tape recorder in her son\u2019s bedroom to discover why he had started hiding his mobile phone and why he was spending so much time with the Richards family. After the tape recordings revealed explicit phone conversations between Richards and the boy, his mother called in police. The boy admitted to officers that Richards had had sex with him, giving him alcohol, asking him for massages and \u2018leading me on\u2019. Prosecutor Roger Griffiths told Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court the pair had sex after Richards had an argument with her husband, Paul.

Jordan Brown, now 17, was jailed in 2012 for the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Kenzie Houk and her unborn son with a shotgun in February 2009 because he was jealous that the child would be given his room. The court heard Houk, then eight months pregnant, was sleeping when Brown approached her with a blanket-covered 20-gauge shotgun and fired a bullet into her head. However, Brown's attorneys claim the evidence used to convict him was insubstantial and he was the victim of a rush judgement. 'Rush judgement': Jordan Brown (pictured left aged 14), was convicted of shooting his father's fiancee Keznie Houk (right) when she was eight months pregnant and sleeping.

State prosecutors did not immediately comment following the closed hearing in Lawrence County. State police and prosecutors have repeatedly said none of the evidence points to anyone but Brown, who is now 17. The defense contends the investigation amounted to a rush to judgment against the boy, fueled in part by Houk's family. They have told investigators and reporters that the boy was spoiled by his father and jealous of Houk and her unborn child who, they contend, was going to be given Jordan's room in his father's farmhouse in Wampum, about 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

But the 'professional' pickpocket has now also been given a criminal behaviour order, which prevents her from entering Birmingham city centre - or she risks going back to prison. The 90-year-old woman had been using a walking frame while browsing shops in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.

Johnson has made a living out of sneakily stealing bags and purses from distracted parents, the elderly and foreign students around the city. Sergeant Ifty Ahmed, from Birmingham West and Central offender management team, said: 'CCTV linked Johnson to the offences and she was jailed for a total of 43 weeks earlier this year. 'The CBO granted on Monday gives us a huge degree of control over her behaviour and will prevent Johnson from visiting her usual haunts to commit crime.'

McClaren\u2019s camp deny this, instead insisting he is fully focussed on winning promotion to the Premier League with Derby. Derby boss McClaren has a good relationship with United\u2019s chief scout Graham Carr (pictured) Despite a strong campaign, Derby are in danger of missing out on automatic promotion to the top flight . That, however, is to be expected given his promise to the club\u2019s hierarchy that he would see out the season with the Rams when he was first linked with Newcastle in January. McClaren signed a new three-year deal in August and chief executive Sam Rush has again insisted this week that their manager is going nowhere. However, Derby are in danger of missing out on automatic promotion to the top flight and there is even a chance they could slip out of the play-off places. They announced losses of \u00a37m this week, compared to the \u00a318.7m profit recorded by Newcastle, who intend to invest heavily in their playing squad this summer. It is thought all of those factors will be enough for Carr to persuade McClaren to head to the North-East ahead of next season.", "summary": "Newcastle have set sights on appointing Steve McClaren as next boss .

After eight years of taking photographs of plus-sized women, Nimoy published a collection titled The Full Body Project in 2007, which featured obese women photographed in the nude.

He was inspired by their late founder Heather MacAllister, who he recalled once told him 'whenever a fat person steps on stage to perform, and it's not the butt of a joke, that's a political statement' He said a 250-pound woman approached him after a presentation and told Nimoy he only worked with models that had a certain body type, according to the New York Times. She then asked Nimoy if he would be interested in working with her despite her different shape, and he said yes. Nimoy was nervous the day of the shoot, afraid he wouldn't do his new subject justice, he told NPR. 'I think that's a reflection of something that's prevalent in our culture,' he said. 'We are sort of conditioned to see a different body type as acceptable and maybe look away when the other body type arrives.' But Nimoy did not look away, instead he pointed his camera right at her.

Hundreds of people have lodged complaints with TV watchdogs that Kay Burley and Jeremy Paxman were biased against Ed Miliband . Mr Cameron and Mr Miliband faced the wrath of voters - and Jeremy Paxman - last night as they were forced to defend their broken promises, judgement and ability to lead the country in the first prime-time TV contest of the general election.

An Ofcom spokesman said: 'We are assessing the complaints before deciding whether or not to investigate.' A Channel 4 spokeswoman said it had received around 300 complaints, but was unable to say specifically what they were about. 'Both politicians, one of whom is likely to be the next Prime Minister, agreed to the format and were prepared for and actively participated in robust questioning about their policies and abilities. Neither party has expressed any dissatisfaction to Channel 4,' she added. Labour insiders privately noted that they thought Burley 'intervened and followed up aggressively a number of times'. At one point Burley told Mr Miliband: 'That's a politicians answer there isn't it?' She also pressed him on the impact of his leadership victory over his brother David.

A stalker who sent ex-Big Brother star Kate Lawler bizarre Islamic gifts causing the bomb squad to be scrambled has been jailed. Army bomb disposal experts were sent to the offices of Rock FM, in Preston, Lancashire, where Miss Lawler works as a DJ, after obsessed Ikram Ismail sent her a box containing a burnt Koran, a court heard. Ismail, of Preston, had never met the 34-year-old personality but started leaving strange gifts at the studio on St Paul's Square, in Deepdale, Preston Magistrates' Court heard. On the first occasion, in February 2014, the bomb squad was called to a suspicious box, which was later found to contain a Koran, wrapped in traditional fabric. Among other strange 'gifts' Ismail, who pleaded guilty to stalking, left in the studio grounds over the next 12 months were a book entitled the Ninety-Nine Names of Allah, a burnt Koran, a burnt jumper, a box containing Muslim leaflets, and a 'Kate' keyring.

Prosecutor Suzy Privett told the court that on Hallowe'en last year, DJ Jordan North saw the defendant trying to get into a party, believing Kate Lawler was there. A PCSO later attended and found Ismail, and he was issued with an acceptable behaviour contract. However, on Valentine's Day this year he sent further gifts to Miss Lawler, followed by a card signed 'Ikram'.

Lawyers acting for some of the families of those on board said earlier that the fact the battery had not been replaced could be key in any legal action against the airline. MH370 vanished shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, bound for Beijing, early on March 8 last year, becoming one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. Malaysia Airlines has revealed that an expired battery in the beacon of the 'black box' flight data recorder on missing Flight MH370 would have made no difference in the search for the plane . A 584-page interim report into the disappearance of the Boeing 777-200ER, released on Sunday, said the beacon battery for the flight data recorder had expired in December 2012 and was not replaced. The beacon is designed to send a signal if a crash occurs in water. Malaysia Airlines said in a statement on Monday that a similar beacon was also installed with the solid state cockpit voice recorder and its battery life was still good.

Sadness: A relative of MH370 passengers holds a sign reading 'Dad I miss U!' outside the Lama Temple today . 'The SSCVR battery would have been transmitting for 30 days upon activation when immersed in water,' MAS said in the statement. U.S. law firm Kreindler & Kreindler LP, which is representing around 20 families, had said the expired battery was 'potentially very significant' in determining compensation if it had hurt the search for the missing plane. The oversight was blamed on a failure to properly update a computer system in the engineering department of Malaysia Airlines, Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation said in Sunday's report. The plane, which was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, went missing with 239 people on board on March 8, 2014 - and a huge search in the Indian Ocean has so far proved fruitless.

Scroll down for video . Chancellor George Osborne declined to give a 'cast-iron guarantee' to match Labour's pledge not to increase VAT from 20 per cent over the five years of the next Parliament . Appearing before the Commons Treasury Committee, Mr Osborne was repeatedly challenged to match Labour's promise but refused to do so . Labour today unveiled a new poster warning of Tory VAT hikes after the election. The headline rate of VAT stands at 20 per cent after Mr Osborne increased it from 17.5 per cent in his emergency Budget in 2010. Mr Balls claimed that another rise after the election on May was 'the only way the Tories can make their sums add up'. Launching a new Labour poster, Mr Balls said: 'We will make our tax commitments in full in our manifesto. But I am clear that while millionaires have been given a huge tax cut, working people are paying more in tax after the last five years of the Tories. 'So, today, I can announce a clear pledge to the British people. The next Labour government will not raise VAT. And we will not extend it to food, children's clothes, books, newspapers and public transport fares. 'We will not raise VAT because it's the tax that hits everyone. It's the tax that hits you every day. And it hits pensioners and the poorest hardest.' In the Houses of Parliament today, Mr Osborne was repeatedly challenged to match the promise but refused to do so. Labour MP John Mann asked the Chancellor four times to give a 'cast-iron guarantee' that he would not hike the tax. A second Labour MP, Andy Love, also twice pressed the Chancellor over whether VAT would have to rise.

'The question for those who say they are going to try to balance the books but say it mainly has to be done through tax, as the official Opposition does, has to spell out what those big tax rises are.

A study found that the more satisfied a person was with their love life in their 60s and 70s, the sharper their mind and the better their memory. One possibility is that an active sex life keeps the brain young. The finding follows a recent British study which revealed that age is no barrier to an active love life. Dutch researchers found that people in their 70s having sex were better able to use their memory, file photo . The Manchester University study found, more than half of men and almost a third of women aged 70-plus are still sexually active. And one third of these have sex at least twice a month. The latest study involved quizzing more than 1,700 Dutch men and women about their sex life and their need for intimacy. The volunteers, who ranged in age from 58 to 98, were also put through a battery of mental tests, designed to assess everything from memory to the ability to think abstractly. Two-thirds of the men and women had a partner and a similar number said that they still felt the need for intimacy. Those who were satisfied with their sex life and said that sexuality was important did better on the tests. The link was particularly strong in women, the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry reports. The researchers, from the Altrecht mental health centre, can\u2019t be sure if staying sexually active was keeping the brain or if interest in sex dwindles as the mind fails. However, previous research has credited having sex with the growth of new brain cells, in rats at least.

Researchers have found that rats can boost their brain power by having more sex than normal . The Dutch researchers said it is important not to assume that sex is just for the young. They wrote: \u2018Many beliefs about sexual behaviour in older populations are based on personal and stereotyped views of ageing and sexuality. \u2018Older persons are generally expected to no longer be capable of or to be lacking interest in sex when, in reality, many elderly persons require sexuality to be important and wish to remain sexually active as they age. \u2018Age itself is no adequate predictor of sexuality; the reality of ageing is that most people continue to have sexual feelings of some sort.\u2019 ends .", "summary": "University researchers found that sex in later life helps boost memory .

Take out too little and the cancerous \u2018legs\u2019 remain and regrow \u2013 but take out too much and there is a risk of cutting away healthy tissue and leaving the patient disabled. Now a British hospital is trialling a laser that bleeps like a parking sensor on a car when the scalpel gets to the edge of the cancerous areas, letting surgeons know their margins for error. In a world first, neurosurgeons at London\u2019s Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust have started using the pen-like probe, called the Core, which shines a near-infrared light on to a tumour and scans for subtle differences between healthy and cancerous tissue. The device can read the differences in less than a second, and gives a warning sound if the surgeon is close to healthy tissue. About 16,000 Britons are diagnosed with a brain tumour every year, and more children and adults under 40 die from the condition than from any other cancer. There are more than 120 types. Surgeons hope the Core, which has already proved successful in skin-cancer surgery in Canada, will allow them to remove as much of the cancerous growth as possible and also speed up operating times. The probe was used for the first time during brain surgery at Imperial last week as part of a trial that will involve 30 patients over the next year. Senior neurosurgical trainee Babar Vaqas, who spearheaded the project to bring the Core to the UK, says: \u2018There really is nothing like this at the moment. \u2018Brain surgery is a very complex operation \u2013 sometimes even taking just a millimetre too much can cause real damage, such as paralysis or problems with speech. Having something that will make surgery safer and more accurate could be a real game-changer.\u2019 One of the major obstacles at present is that the boundary between the tumour and healthy brain tissue is very hard to distinguish, even with an operating microscope. Currently, surgeons must rely on taking several tiny cuttings of tissue to ensure they are only taking away that which is cancerous. It can take up to 90 minutes for these biopsies to be tested and for results to be fed back to surgeons, all while the patient remains in the operating theatre. Surgeons believe the pen-like probe could shave up to 30 minutes off the average three-hour surgery time (picture posed by models) Instead of taking a physical sample, a surgeon holds the Core over the area being operated on and a beam is emitted from the tip of the probe, scanning for changes in the chemical composition of brain tissue. A tumour molecule vibrates differently from healthy molecules under laser light, causing the light to bounce back in a different way. This is picked up by the probe, and the signal is then interpreted by a computer, giving an instant reading of whether the tissue is cancerous. Mr Vaqas believes using the Core could shave up to 30", "summary": "British surgeons use pen-like probe to spot brain tumours for the first time .

The three-bedroom house, where the billionaire finance whizz lived from the age of six, has been put on Airbnb ahead of a May 2 investors' meeting in the Nebraska city where he grew up. It was from that home, which his family left in 1966 and no longer owns, that Buffett, now 84, earned his first cents selling Coke and chewing gum door-to-door, and also started investing in stocks. Big prize: Warren Buffett superfans will be able to stay in his old house if they win an Airbnb competition. The investment guru is pictured left in March 2015, and right in the 1930s .

The online listing, which boasts that the home still has several Buffett-era features, explains that Airbnb will offer a free stay, for up to three nights, to a lucky winner. To be eligible, entrants must be shareholders in Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway holding company, and answer four questions. As well as listing their best Airbnb experience and travel 'bucket list', hopefuls must explain what excites them most about the Berkshire Hathaway annual meet-up - and then wax lyrical about Omaha in general. The competition is part of an Airbnb publicity push in the city, which regularly runs out of hotel space when some 40,000 Buffett acolytes descend each year to hear from the investment guru himself. Times change: This is the room where a young Buffett slept through his youth - though it now features twin beds and has likely seen some other changes since the billionaire-to-be last spent the night there . Eyes on the prize: Only Berkshire Hathaway shareholders are eligible to enter the competition, and must answer questions including one on their excitement to be in Omaha . The phenomenon also sees hotels hike their rates, with some locations insisting visitors book rooms for at least three nights, despite the event only lasting a day. Strategies like this roused the ire of Buffett, who personally recommended Airbnb to his shareholders as a way to get round it. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the self-confessed 'mother bear' said he plugged the home-sharing site, in which he has no financial stake, to protect his shareholders from exploitation. The prize home, on North 53rd Street, is around 15 minutes from the CenturyLink Center where the meeting will be held.

The researchers behind the device have linked it up to a smartphone app which buzzes if you go over your daily calorie limit. Scientists have combined WearSens, a metal ring that goes around the neck (above) to monitor eating, with a smartphone app which counts calories .

The device was developed by engineers at the University of California, Los Angeles and so far the tests on 30 people show that the it does work.

Another website, Bustle.com, dubbed it the \u2018weirdest (tech) wearable we have seen to date\u2019. The UCLA team said the WearSens works because each food makes a distinctive pattern of vibrations in the neck so the device is able to work out what it is you are consuming using a piezoelectric sensor, which measures changes in pressure or force. In tests with a limited menu it has guessed with 90 per cent accuracy the difference between solid and liquid foods - and even the difference between hot or cold drinks.

For the first time, scientists have filmed the behaviour of wild animals in Peru prior to a quake and believe their study could help improve short-term seismic forecasting. This still shows a Razor-billed curassow . 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 2-day period in the run-up to the earthquake, they recorded five or fewer sightings. For five of the seven days immediately before the earthquake, no animal movements were recorded at all, which was incredibly unusual for the mountainous rainforest region. Dr Grant, a lecturer in animal and environmental biology, told MailOnline that rodents seemed to be particularly sensitive and disappeared completely eight days before the quake. \u2018Usually they\u2019re quite ubiquitous in the forest.

It is thought that positive airborne ions, which are known to be generated in large numbers at the Earth\u2019s surface when rocks deep below are subjected to increasing stresses during the build-up to an earthquake, trigger unusual animal behaviour.

+{"article": "A whale that swam hundreds of miles up an African river after taking a wrong turn 17 million years ago is helping shed light on a key moment in human evolution. Palaeontologists discovered the fossilised remains of the ancient ancestor to modern beaked whales in the middle of one of the harshest desert areas of Turkana, Kenya. It has allowed scientists to pinpoint when the landscape in east Africa began to change as the land around the Great Rift Valley began to rise up. This 17 million-year-old fossil shown in the photograph above is from a whale found far inland in Kenya and has shed light on when east Africa's tectonic uplift that drastically altered the climate in the area first began . This was a crucial moment in human evolution from primates as it created the dry open habitats that led our ape-like ancestors to walk upright for the first time. They say that for the whale to have travelled so far inland in a river the area must have been much wetter, far flatter and dominated by forests. It is probably one of the most peculiar aspects of human biology - that females of a certain age lose the ability to reproduce. But scientists have discovered that killer whales - a species separated from humans by almost 94 million years of evolution - also suffer from the menopause. The finding could provide clues as to why the menopause evolved in the first place. The evolution of a trait that reduces the reproductive capability of a species has long baffled biologists and there are a number of theories for why it emerged in humans. Now a team of researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of York may have unraveled the reason for the menopause - in killer whales at least. They have found that it frees up the older, more experienced females to lead their families in the search for food and so boost the ability of the entire group to survive. The findings may now also help to explain why the menopause emerged in human populations - it allowed older women to impart their knowledge and help care for the younger members. Professor Louis Jacobs, a vertebrate palaeontologist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas who led the study, said: 'The whale was stranded up river at a time when east Africa was at sea level and was covered with forest and jungle. 'As that part of the continent rose up, that caused the climate to become drier and drier. So over millions of years, forest gave way to grasslands. 'Primates evolved to adapt to grasslands and dry country. And that's when - in human evolution - the primates started to walk upright.' The whale fossil was first discovered in Loperot, west Turkana, Kenya in 1964 by palaeontologist James Mead, a curator at the Smithsonian Instution at the time. It was initially mistakenly identified as a turtle fossil but later identified as a whale in 1975.

+{"article": "It is a tender moment frozen in time for at least 100 million years. Scientists have uncovered the earliest fossilised evidence of an insect caring for its young. The fossil shows a female sap-sucking scale insect, preserved in amber, carrying her freshly hatched nymphs and unhatched eggs on her abdomen. The waxy ball like shapes on the abdomen of this 100 million year old insect Wathondra kotejai contain eggs and hatched nymphs and is thought to be the earliest example of parental care in insects yet discovered . The fossil, discovered in a mine in the Kachin Province of northern Myanmar, pushes back the earliest direct evidence for insects caring for their brood by more than 50 million years. It is thought to be one of the earliest examples of parental care ever discovered and may help to explain how it first began to emerge. Scientists claim plants can feel themselves being eaten alive \u2013 and some can even tell what type of creature is attacking them. The discovery was made after tests on the Arabidopsis plant found it can distinguish between insects eating it based on the way they chew and drool. Researchers at the University of Missouri exposed a group of Arabidopsis, which is part of the cabbage family, to cabbage butterfly caterpillars and beet army worms. Plants attempt to defend themselves using different methods, such as giving off spicy flavours and rancid smells. These defences are expressed in their genes. Based on the gene analysis, the scientists found that the plant can sense when a caterpillar is drooling and provides a different defence mechanism, than if it sensed a butterfly. There were also different genetic responses to each worm, showing that the plant knew what was eating it. Professor Bo Wang, a palaeontologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences who led the research, said: 'Brood care could have been an important driver for the early radiation of scale insects, which occurred during the end of the Jurassic or earliest Cretaceous period during the Mesozoic era. 'Although analysis seemed to suggest that ancient insects evolved brood care, this is the first direct, unequivocal evidence for the fossil record.' The insect Wathondra kotejai is thought to date from the mid-Cretaceous period and became encased in sap from a tree that over time turned into amber. Around its abdomin are around 60 eggs and freshly hatched nymphs, encased within a wax-coated egg sack, according to the research, which is published in the journal eLife. This primitive form of brood care would have protected the young nymphs from wet and dry conditions while allowing them to mature in the relative safety of their mother. Fossilised evidence of animals caring for their young is extremely rare, especially in insects. Wingless females were largely immobile, so were less likely to be accidentally buried. A cockroach from a similar period was reported carrying a mass of eggs, but cockroaches often deposit their eggs rather than brooding them.

The attack, which led to four men and two women being arrested, comes amid concerns about an increase of anti-Semitic attacks across Europe.

With Martinez's men languishing 14th in the table - 23 points and nine places worse off than at this stage last season - Sportsmail takes a look at the underperforming players the Spaniard must get rid of this summer if the Blues are to get back on track in 2015-16. Everton's players look dejected during their 5-2 defeat at Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League last 16 . Everton boss Roberto Martinez has a huge summer ahead of him when the transfer window opens . Tim Howard . After a stellar first season under Martinez and some brilliant performance at the World Cup with the USA, Howard been arguably Everton's worst player this season. High profile errors - particularly at home to Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Leicester - have helped cost the Toffees much-needed points and contributed to a shaky, unsure defence. Martinez's decision to return Howard to his starting XI after injury - despite some promising displays from Joel Robles - has backfired. At 36, he will only get worse. Goalkeeper Tim Howard is left on the turf at the Olympic Stadium after conceding a third goal on the night . Antolin Alcaraz . Off the pace and out his depth against Dynamo, Alcaraz's 18 months at Goodison Park have been a mixed bag of injuries, decent performances and some truly awful defending. The Paraguayan, who was also part of Martinez's back-three at Wigan, lacks the speed and consistency to play for a team with European aspirations, while he is always liable to pick up a knock. With his contract up at the end of the season, it'd be wise to invest Alcaraz's wages elsewhere. Antolin Alcaraz had an evening to forget as the Toffees were dumped out of Europe in embarrassing fashion . Steven Pienaar . A regular under David Moyes, Pienaar has simply been unable to stay fit under Martinez. He shone on the opening day of the season against Leicester, working in tandem with Leighton Baines down the Toffees' left side, but has not played since mid-December and has made just eight Premier League appearances this season.

Obama's executive order also directs the government to ramp up use of renewable energy sources to 30 percent of the federal government's consumption. The White House said U.S. taxpayers could save up to $18 billion in electricity costs by reducing greenhouse gases 40 percent over the next decade, compared to 2008 levels. 'These are ambitious goals, but we know they're achievable goals,' Obama said at the Energy Department on Thursday, where he toured a rooftop solar panel installation after signing the executive order at the White House. 'These are ambitious goals, but we know they're achievable goals,' President Barack Obama said at the Energy Department on Thursday after signing the executive order at the White House . The White House said U.S. taxpayers could save up to $18 billion in electricity costs by reducing greenhouse gases 40 percent over the next decade, compared to 2008 levels. Obama is pictured her giving the order . Major companies that sell to the federal government like GE, HP, Northrup Grumman and Honeywell will also announce voluntary commitments to cut their own emissions of the heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming, the White House said. IBM, for example, said it will cut its energy consumption 35 percent by 2020 and buy at least 20 percent of its power from renewably sources by that year. The operator of an estimated 360,000 buildings and 650,000 vehicles, the federal government is the country's single largest energy consumer. The Department of Defense alone is responsible for roughly half of that consumption, a senior administration official said. All told, the government pollution cuts along with industry contributions will have the effect of keeping 26 million metric tons of greenhouse gases out of the air by 2025, or the equivalent of what about 5.5 million cars would pump out through their tailpipes in an average year, the White House said. Brian Deese, a senior adviser to Obama, told reporters that the president's mandate is a 'triple win' for the environment, the economy, and the taxpayer. Yet it was unclear exactly how either the government or private companies planned to meet its targets. 'The potential from this announcement,' Deese said during a call with reporters, 'is significant both because we can drive substantial reductions across the entire federal footprint and because our efforts to do that leverage both innovation and investment in the private sector.' While at the Energy Department, Obama also discussed the new emissions targets at a roundtable with federal suppliers that do more than $1 billion per year in business with the government. The U.S. government is responsible for only a small portion of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, but the Obama administration is hoping that taking aggressive steps at home will increase the political pressure on other countries to do the same.

Five days later, Barr, 42, stabbed Mr Orrett in the neck with a vegetable knife, causing him to bleed to death. She was later convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to nine years in jail. The couple had been together for 12 years before they split up and had four young children together, three of whom suffered from cystic fibrosis. Mr Orrett struggled to accept the end of their relationship, and would often turn up at Barr's home in a bid to win her back, even though she was now seeing another man, Robert Joyce. In November 2012, police were called to Barr's house in Cheadle, Greater Manchester after she called them accusing him of threatening to stab her new boyfriend. Scene: Forensic officers at Barr's house in Cheadle, Greater Manchester after the fatal stabbing . Horror: Police initially downplayed the incident in November 2012 five days before Mr Orrett was killed . According to Barr, one of the officers on the scene said: 'This is like f***ing Jeremy Kyle, I don't get paid for this s***.' All the police involved denied comparing the situation to the controversial talk show, but the IPCC report concluded it was likely that someone had used the phrase. When they later filed a log of the incident, the officers stated that no offences had been committed despite the fact that Mr Orrett showed them a stab wound in his abdomen. In the domestic violence report which the police filled out, they did not mention a weapon and downplayed the severity of the incident. Following the IPCC's report, PC Butler and Acting Sgt Poole, from Greater Manchester Police, were given written warnings for misconduct. Five days after the argument which was attended by police, Mr Orrett once again turned up at Barr's home because their daughter sent him a message saying she missed him. He clashed with his ex and tried to hide her mobile phone so she couldn't contact Mr Joyce, leading to a fight in which he was stabbed in the neck.

Ryanair said the protest was carried out by \u2018non-Ryanair individuals\u2019 and called on Danish authorities to prevent a repeat of the \u2018unlawful blockade\u2019.

+{"article": "The allegations were as vindictive and damaging as they were utterly false. Yet they all but destroyed primary school teacher Brendan O\u2019Brien. Brendan, 45, had for 16 years been an exemplary teacher: popular with pupils and respected by colleagues. Yet in just a year his reputation was shattered, he lost his job and became clinically depressed, prey to anxiety and panic. Brendan O'Brien (pictured with his wife, Jane) had 18 charges made against him concerning child abuse . A \u00a325,000 legal bill exhausted his entire savings and ate into those of his parents. His reputation unjustly besmirched, he and his wife Jane \u2014 who has two grown-up daughters by a previous relationship \u2014 had to give up their dream of adopting a child. And this awful ordeal was caused by five boy pupils from his West Yorkshire primary school who accused him of sexual abuse. It\u2019s the worst accusation that could be levied against a teacher. And in today\u2019s climate, where historic cases of the abuse of children are as prolific as they are disturbing, the police, quite rightly, had to act. Yet the most cursory of checks would have revealed that his accusers were troublemakers: disruptive, aggressive, defiant and precociously sexualised. But once the boys \u2014 present and past pupils aged ten to 12 \u2014 had made the allegations that their teacher had inappropriately touched them and instigated sexual activity, the machinery of the law was set in motion. And despite the complete absence of evidence, it would destroy the name of a good man in the process. In January, a year after Brendan was first arrested, a jury at Leeds Crown Court acquitted him, swiftly and unanimously, on all charges. He had pleaded not guilty to 17 counts of sexual assault on a male child under the age of 13 and one count of causing or inciting a male child under 13 to engage in sexual activity. Brendan and Jane's (pictured) lives were destroyed when the allegations against Brian were made . So how could Brendan be left with a life in tatters while five malicious trouble-makers are carrying on with their lives, without so much as a telling off? These are questions Brendan and Jane, 43, a reflexologist and sales assistant, are asking themselves. Brendan says: \u2018When I was charged, I was no longer Mr O\u2019Brien, a respected village primary school teacher. Instead, I was a pariah. I was too scared to leave the house. I became introverted, and I lost 2 st. Yet the boys who accused me have been able to hide behind a curtain of anonymity while my name was publicised. \u2018My accusers should be punished for making false and damaging claims against me. But they are all carrying on as though nothing has happened while I have to piece together my shattered life.\u2019 Shattered is the correct word: Brendan\u2019s teaching contract was terminated in July. \u2018I don\u2019t know if I can ever face standing in a classroom of pupils, wondering if one of them is about to make a complaint,\u2019 he says.

A prisoner who asked warders for a Bible was offered pornographic magazines to help him \u2018get to sleep\u2019, a report has found (file picture) The study, for a commission established by the Howard League For Penal Reform pressure group, said some jails were not providing inmates with condoms to stop the spread of sexually-transmitted infections behind bars. Even though sex between prisoners or with staff is not allowed, inmates are supposed to have free access to condoms if they are thought to be at risk of catching a disease.

The research project found that the availability of condoms to minimise the risk of STIs \u2013 and the potential for them to be passed on to future lovers in the general population \u2013 was varied among prisons. Some prisoners who were indebted to others or who had limited money for tobacco, other commodities or illegal drugs would offer sexual favours in lieu of payment, said the report. It also claimed rapes and sexual assault in prison may be more widespread than acknowledged by the Ministry of Justice, which said there were 170 reported attacks last year.

Republicans say that such measures prevent voter fraud. Democrats claim that they stop legitimate voters from exercising their constitutional right to participate in the electoral process. Many Democrats believe that's the point of the laws - to keep groups that traditionally vote Democrat, especially minorities, from casting a ballot - and have characterized voter ID laws as racist for that reason. Requiring the elderly, who sometimes don't drive, and minorities, who when they live in major cities often take public transportation, as well as the low-income sector of society, which can't afford always afford government identification cards, is a modern day poll tax, Democrats have argued.

The research gave one volunteer the ability to see more than 164ft (50 metres) in almost total darkness for 'several hours'. By injecting his eyes with a liquid solution, he could spot people running among trees in dark conditions 100 per cent of the time, while others who hadn't been treated with the drops were successful in only a third of cases. Californian researchers have developed a liquid that enables night vision. The solution combines Chlorin e6 (Ce6) with insulin and saline. A small amount of it was dripped it into a researcher's eyes. It briefly turns the eyes dark or black before it is absorbed, seen in this image of researcher Gabriel Licina . The experiment was carried out by a group of so-called \u2018biohackers\u2019 in California called Science for the Masses. They used a solution of a substance called Chlorin e6 (Ce6), which is found in some deep-sea fish and has light-amplification properties, and is also been used in cancer treatment research. Combining Ce6 with insulin and saline, the team produced a solution that can increase vision in low light conditions. In April, researchers revealed a super-thin infrared light sensor, which could become an invaluable tool for the soldiers of the future as researchers work to develop the advance into night vision contact lenses. Created by University of Michigan researchers Ted Norris and Zhaohui Zhong, the sensor uses an atom-thin material called graphene which could be layered onto contact lenses. Graphene takes infrared rays and translates them into electrical signals. The process is similar to the way silicon chip in a digital camera work with visible light, Wired reported. 'If we integrate it with a contact lens or other wearable electronics, it expands your vision,' Zhong said. 'It provides you another way of interacting with your environment.'

Striking: Designed Sir Paul Smith custom made this one-of-a-kind Land Rover Defender to celebrate the iconic car ahead of it going out of production at the end of the year . Patchwork: The body panels are painted a total of 27 different colours, and Sir Paul said he took inspiration from the countryside and British Army vehicles for the design . Historic: The modern-day Defender is a descendant of the first ever car made by Land Rover, the Series 1, and has been in production since 1948 . The designer, who was knighted in 2000 and has dressed the likes of Bradley Wiggins and the England football team, said: 'The Defender is a British icon, which is something I\u2019m exceptionally proud of. 'This is a complete one-off; I wanted to give this Defender a feeling of luxury, so I used a mix of leather and fabric for the seats. 'I actually used the fabric that I design for Maharam, the American upholstery company. 'I wanted deep, rich colours, but at the same time, I wanted them to work together yet be surprising. My designs are known for their attention to detail, so I didn't want this Defender to be any different.' Luxurious: Sir Paul chose bespoke leather for the interior, and had the seats made out of fabric he disgnes himself for an American fashion-house . Pedigree: Since 1948 around 15.million Defenders have been produced, and it is thought that as many as two thirds of those are still on the road somewhere in the world . Detailing: The London designer, who was knighted in 2000 and has dressed the likes of Bradley Wiggins and the England football team, said attention to detail was key in making the Defender . Included on the car are two Paul Smith logos. One inside a clock on the dashboard, and another below the Land Rover logo on the back. The modern-day defender is a descendant of Land Rover's first ever off-road vehicle, which was launched back in 1948, making it the world's oldest car still to be in production. Named the Series 1, the original design was sketched in sand on Anglesey beach by Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilkes. Popular: Sir Paul called the car 'a British icon' and is known to be a fan, having owned several of them .

+{"article": "It is probably one of the most peculiar aspects of human biology - that females of a certain age lose the ability to reproduce. Now scientists have discovered that killer whales - a species separated from humans by almost 94 million years of evolution - also suffer from the menopause and it could provide clues as to why it evolved in the first place. There is just one other species in the wild known to undergo the menopause - short-finned pilot whales - although it has been observed in a handful of captive primates and animals. Older female killer whales tend to take the lead (like the one above) when families are foraging for food . The evolution of a trait that reduces the reproductive capability of a species has long baffled biologists and there are a number of theories for why it emerged in humans. Now a team of researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of York may have unraveled the reason for the menopause - in killer whales at least. It happens to every woman who reaches a certain age, but in the animal kingdom, the menopause is a relatively uncommon trait. Humans can live long after they stop being able to reproduce, but most animals tend to remain fertile up until they die. A few species of primate, like rhesus monkeys, orangutans and chimpanzees are also known to experience menopause while it has also been reported in elephants and short-finned pilot whales. Laboratory rats, captive opossums and budgerigars have also been observed to under go the menopause. However, the short-finned pilot whale and the killer whale are the only animals that been been seen to live long past the age that they lose the ability to reproduce. They have found that it frees up the older, more experienced females to lead their families in the search for food and so boost the ability of the entire group to survive. The findings may now also help to explain why the menopause emerged in human populations - it allowed older women to impart their knowledge and help care for the younger members. Professor Darren Croft, a behavioural ecologist at the University of Exeter, said: 'In humans, it has been suggested that menopause is simply an artifact of modern medicine and improved living conditions. 'However, mounting evidence suggests that menopause in humans is adaptive. 'In hunter-gatherers, one way that menopausal women help their relatives, and thus increase the transmission of their own genes, is by sharing food. 'Menopausal women may also have shared another key commodity - information.' The researchers, whose study is published in the journal Current Biology, studied groups of killer whales in the wild off the coast of British Columbia and Washington during nine summer salmon migrations. Female killer whales can continue having calves, like above, until around the age of 35 years old say scientists . In total they observed 102 whales - 58 of which were female - and studied which of the whales occupied the lead position as the whales hunted for the", "summary": "Killer whales are one of a handful of animals that undergo the menopause .

Clarkson is said to be in discussions with Andy Williams, his long standing collaborator and Top Gear's executive producer, to star in a new farming show - just days after he launched into an extraordinary foul-mouthed rant at BBC bosses during a charity gala. Speculation is mounting over what will happen to one of the BBC's biggest stars when his fate is finally decided at a meeting this week. Jeremy Clarkson (pictured on Countryfile) is said to be in discussions with Andy Williams, Top Gear's executive producer, over starring in a new farming show . He told the Sunday Mirror today that he has been 'put on silence' which is why he has been refusing to comment on the allegations he punched Oisin Tymon, a 36-year-old Top Gear producer, in a row over the lack of catering. Clarkson told the paper: 'I've been put on silence. There are very good reasons from my point of view why I simply can't say a word.' His future at the BBC is to be decided next week when the corporation's internal probe into his 'fracas' with Mr Tymon is put before Director-General Tony Hall. But sources close to the presenter told the paper that if he is sacked he will probably sue for wrongful dismissal. They said he is still 'fuming' about the top BBC boss who allegedly compared his situation to paedophile Jimmy Savile's - and has vowed to find out who it was. Clarkson was embroiled in a row with BBC after he allegedly punched his producer Oisin Tymon . An insider said Clarkson thinks BBC bosses have launched a smear campaign against him and he 'won't let that go'. The paper also revealed that the BBC are already filming the pilot of an alternative motoring show called 'The Getaway'. The Sunday Times has reported that Clarkson is already considering a change in direction - and may become the face of a new documentary series on farming. The paper reports Clarkson originally took the idea to then BBC director General George Entwistle in 2012 but it did not get the go-ahead. But following the now infamous fracas and the uncertainty surrounding his current job, Clarkson it said to be preparing a new proposal for the show. A source told the paper: 'In the last week Jeremy has had a chance to firm it up. It's about trying to run a farm when you don't know anything about farming and getting things wrong... in a Top Gear-esque way.' In 2012, Clarkson told the Radio Times: 'I love the idea of being a farmer, that's why I like watching Adam's Farm [on Countryfile]. But farming land is complex. It's a business, but it's important to me that the land looks beautiful too.'", "summary": "Jeremy Clarkson is said to be keen to appear in a new farming show .

Scott Walker for a new state law that bans requiring the payment of union dues as a condition of employment, saying it 'will weaken, rather than strengthen workers.' Walker signed the bill into law on Monday, making the Badger State the 25th with such a 'Right To Work' law. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed the measure into law Monday. Walker is expected to run as a Republican candidate for president in 2016. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed his state's right-to-work bill into law on Monday, making Wisconsin the 25th state with such a law . The Republican presidential front-runner said before his signing eremony that the law will send 'a powerful message across the country and around the world.' Hours later, he leveraged the issue in a fundraising email. 'The Big Government Labor Bosses will never forgive me for taking away their power but we are doing the right thing,' he wrote, asking for donations ranging from $10 to $1,000. By 9:00 at night, the White House was circulating a statement from Obama claimign that Walker had notched a 'victory over working Americans.' If the Wisconsin governor were interested in protecting workers, the president said, be would be 'taking meaningful action to raise their wages and offer them the security of paid leave. That\u2019s how you give hardworking middle-class families a fair shot in the new economy.' The nod to wages was a subtle jab at Wisconsin for not embracing a White House-led push to raise the minimum wage nationwide. The new Wisconsin law, Obama claimed, is part of 'a sustained, coordinated assault on unions, led by powerful interests and their allies in government.' Wisconsin is the first to enact a right-to-work law since Michigan and Indiana did it in 2012. The president issued this statement shortly after 9:00 p.m. on Monday: . 'It\u2019s no coincidence that the rise of the middle class in America coincided in large part with the rise of unions \u2013 workers who organized together for higher wages, better working conditions, and the benefits and protections that most workers take for granted today. So it\u2019s inexcusable that, over the past several years, just when middle-class families and workers need that kind of security the most, there\u2019s been a sustained, coordinated assault on unions, led by powerful interests and their allies in government. 'So I\u2019m deeply disappointed that a new anti-worker law in Wisconsin will weaken, rather than strengthen workers in the new economy. Wisconsin is a state built by labor, with a proud pro-worker past. So even as its governor claims victory over working Americans, I\u2019d encourage him to try and score a victory for working Americans \u2013 by taking meaningful action to raise their wages and offer them the security of paid leave. That\u2019s how you give hardworking middle-class families a fair shot in the new economy \u2013 not by stripping their rights in the workplace, but by offering them all the tools they need to get ahead.'

A Muslim former police chief yesterday condemned the government\u2019s flagship anti-radicalisation strategy as a \u2018toxic brand\u2019.

The Prevent programme, which has an annual budget of \u00a340million, is designed to identify people at risk of being radicalised and potentially turning to terrorism. They are then encouraged to speak to moderate Islamic preachers and turned away from extremism. But the programme has come under scrutiny because of the 600 Britons who are believed to have travelled to Syria to join Islamic State (IS), including the three London schoolgirls who fled the UK last month. Mr Babu, who was chairman of the Association of Muslim Officers within the Met, said: \u2018There's been a lot of concern about the Prevent strategy in the Muslim community over the last few years. \u2018Prevent was bought in with good intentions but over the years it has alienated the Muslim community who see it as spying. \u2018It's a toxic brand in the same way the Big Society idea was brought in but we don't about hear about it much any more.\u2019 Mr Babu called for \u2018greater diversity\u2019 in safeguarding boards aimed at protecting children and among senior police figures. \u2018It's virtually all white in the counter-terrorism command,\u2019 he said . \u2018There's a lack of diversity in the police and, equally important, a lack of diversity in children's services. I'm not aware of a single ethnic minority director of children's services or independent chair of a safeguarding board.\u2019 Anyone who comes under scrutiny as part of Prevent can also see their details shared with counter terrorism officers. Last year it emerged some 77 such reports were passed to the police. Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy defended the scheme and said parents must take responsibility for ensuring their children do not become radicalised. The programme has come under scrutiny because of the 600 Britons who are believed to have travelled to Syria to join Islamic State (IS), including the three London schoolgirls who fled the UK last month (above) Sir Peter said it would \u2018obviously help\u2019 to have more Muslims working in the police but defended the programme . \u2018Over the past year a number of Muslim leaders have recognised that they need to give a stronger message against extremism and against travel to Syria,\u2019 he said. \u2018The prime responsibility for stopping young people thinking of travelling to Syria or other warzones must be with their families and carers, who know them and are able to spot the early signs of radicalisation. \u2018I understand it is a difficult challenge for parents between allowing freedom and protecting young people from harmful material on the", "summary": "Dal Babu, a former chief superintendent, left Metropolitan Police in 2013 .

'Startling and tremendously exciting,' The Humane Society of the United States said in a statement. And the International Fund for Animal Welfare called it 'a giant step in the right direction.' But activists soon focused on the timing, questioning why it will take three years to phase out the elephants from the traveling circus shows.

Many Chelsea fans are keen to use the return fixture to send a collective message around the world, and have been inspired to produce flags, banners, posters and T-shirts to project the mood. An initiative is gathering support to fight back against the racists who still attach themselves to Chelsea . Chelsea fans inside Stamford Bridge hold a poster saying: 'No racism at the Bridge. That's the way we like it!' There will be posters handed out, printed in both English and French which state: 'No Racism at the Bridge. That's the way we like it.'

Because while BB creams were not much more than clever marketing, some genuine innovation is emerging. \u2018There\u2019s a big pharmaceutical industry there which the government has ploughed money into,\u2019 says Kathy. \u2018Cosmetic developments have come alongside it.\u2019 So, among this year\u2019s slew of Korean-influenced new products, which ones are worth looking out for? LANCOME MIRACLE CUSHION . Lancom Cushion Miracle Foundation . \u00a329.50, nationwide . These cushion cosmetics are a huge hit in Korea, and Lancome is the first Western brand to launch a version. Essentially a sponge saturated with a light foundation, it comes inside a compact with a mirror and pad-style applicator. VERDICT: A brilliantly easy way to carry a liquid foundation around with you. It comes in six shades with refills costing \u00a319.50. MAI COUTURE BLUSH PAPIER . Mai Couture Blush Papier . \u00a312.50 for 50 sheets, thisisbeautymart.com . These papers, infused with a powder blush, come in three shades, from a golden apricot to sun-kissed bronze. Just pat the paper against your face \u2014 one sheet does both cheeks. VERDICT: If you\u2019ve ever found your blusher in pieces after carting it around in your handbag, you\u2019ll appreciate these. They make it incredibly simple to top up your blusher on the go. MASQUEBAR ANTI-WRINKLE SHEET MASKS . MasqueBar Anti-Wrinkle Sheet Masks . \u00a39.99 for three, Boots .

A revolutionary drug that \u2018switches off\u2019 cancer may soon be offered to patients with some forms of the disease. If prescribed, the once-a-day tablet, called ibrutinib, could spare blood cancer patients the sometimes agonising side effects of traditional chemotherapy. Ibrutinib is one of only a handful of new medicines to be made available via the Cancer Drugs Fund after two trials in 28 British hospitals showed it to be extremely effective in treating both mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Professor Stephen Devereux, consultant haematologist at King\u2019s College Hospital in London, says it is a new class of targeted medications, known as a Bruton\u2019s tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It works by targeting and switching off a protein in the cancer cells. \u2018Chemotherapy kills cancer cells but it also kills normal cells and therefore has lots of side effects,\u2019 he says. \u2018As this drug is targeted at the B-cells, the side effects are minor. In addition, patients don\u2019t have to go into hospital to have it administered.\u2019 About one in every 25 people will be diagnosed with blood cancer during their lifetime \u2013 that\u2019s 25,000 people each year in the UK. Of these, 2,800 will have CLL, the most common type of leukaemia, and 500 will have MCL, a rare type of B-cell lymphoma. For the time being, a course of ibrutinib \u2013 which costs up to \u00a374,000 a year \u2013 will be prescribed only to patients whose disease does not respond to chemotherapy, or those who have relapsed following chemotherapy. But trials using the drug as a first-line treatment are also taking place. Prof Devereux says: \u2018We\u2019re looking forward to a chemotherapy-free future, although we\u2019re not there quite yet. \u2018This drug takes on an aggressive disease and makes it benign. It\u2019s not a cure \u2013 these diseases are incurable \u2013 but it turns them into chronic conditions. We already know that it can work for several years\u2026 the challenge to the NHS is cost.\u2019 If prescribed, the once-a-day tablet could spare blood cancer patients the sometimes agonising side effects of traditional chemotherapy. Stock photo . Jonathan Pearce, chief executive of the Lymphoma Association, also backs the new drug. He says: \u2018The new class of targeted drug therapies that pharmaceutical companies are currently developing, like ibrutinib, offer hope to many people with lymphoma \u2013 both in relation to the efficacy of the treatments and how well tolerated they are in terms of side effects.\u2019", "summary": "Ibrutinib to to be made available via Cancer Drugs Fund after two trials .

A married architect with a fetish for stabbing women during sex has been found guilty of murdering a mentally ill childcare worker and dumping her body in the Dublin mountains. Following a harrowing nine week trial, Graham Dwyer, 42, from Foxrock, south Dublin, was convicted by unanimous verdict of stabbing 36-year-old Elaine O'Hara to death in August 2012. The father-of-three, who was filmed knifing sexual partners and admitted having an affair with his vulnerable victim, faces a mandatory life sentence. Dwyer was remanded in custody at the Central Criminal Court. Judge Tony Hunt told the court he '110% agreed' with the jury's decision based on the evidence - which on three occasions was so gruesome the public had to leave the courtroom. Ms O'Hara's family members were in tears and embraced when the guilty verdict was read out. Dwyer closed his eyes and shook his head when he heard the verdict. The trial of the architect and family man was a graphic depiction of bloodlust and unnerving perversion. A huge swathe of evidence involved detail of BDSM sex, the 'Gorean' lifestyle of people living out a slave-master philosophy and a window into the life of a sexual deviant. Such was the shocking nature of some videos, photos and documents revealed in court that the media self-censored on occasions as well as the judge clearing the public galleries. In one, Ms O'Hara was bound, her feet in chains and her arms behind her back, while a gag muffled her screams as she was repeatedly stabbed her in the abdomen from behind. 'Now that wasn't bad, was it?,' Dwyer asked after he ejaculated on her. Thousands of disturbing text messages, backed-up on Ms O'Hara's laptop, revealed the unwavering control and power her 'Sir' (Dwyer) had over his Slave (O'Hara) and the mental torment she suffered throughout their sexual relationship. Dwyer had also written vile and sickening first person accounts about him kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering series of women, including American woman Darci Day who testified against him. 'I had always fantasised about killing ever since I was a teenager and I got hard every time I had a knife in my hand, wielding the power knowing that I could decide who lived and died, Just like my hero. God,' he wrote. In one text to Ms O'Hara he wrote: 'I want to stick my knife in flesh while I am sexually aroused. Blood turns me on and I\u2019d like to stab a girl to death some time.' Another said: 'My urge to rape, stab or kill is huge. You have to help me control or satisfy it.' Images and links from a phone Dwyer owned included women being stabbed, strangled or killed some of which came from a gore website.

He then allegedly proceeded to strike her over the head with the heavy mace, puncturing her skull. She is expected to make a full recovery.

It is the Dutch FA (KNVB) who are leading the way in trials of a system to aid referees. However, their bid to introduce the technology in cup matches from next season was rejected by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) last month. Referees chief Mike Riley has called for the arrival of video technology into the Premier League . Given the increasing number of controversies in the Premier League, referees\u2019 chief Mike Riley has called for its arrival in the English top-flight. But the IFAB have delayed any decision for 12 months at least, meaning the earliest we could see video assistance for referees will be the 2017/18 season. The Dutch are certainly confident their process could work. It involves a fifth official located in a video room with access to instant replays. During Eredivisie games they have been trialling how long it would take that official to make a correct judgment on key incidents only, such as red cards, penalties and fouls before goals. They have found that an average of two to three crucial decisions per game can each be resolved within five to 20 seconds, with the official having a direct audio link to the referee. Should the IFAB give the go-ahead for trials of this system \u2013 or another one \u2013 in competitive matches during the 2016/17 campaign, they would then want to see it used in a FIFA age-grade tournament before giving permission for video technology to be implemented in the Premier League and elsewhere around the world. With Goal-line technology in use, and calls for videos to help with penalties and red cards too have risen too . Meanwhile, the notion of a \u2018challenge system\u2019 for managers has been rejected for fear of it being used for tactical gain.

Nick Clegg ignited a huge controversy last night by claiming that all drug users should be treated as \u2018victims\u2019. The Liberal Democrat leader said they should not be given criminal records for possessing illegal substances \u2013 even if they they are caught with \u2018harder\u2019 drugs such as heroin or crack cocaine. Meanwhile, Sir Richard Branson made the astonishing claim that smoking powerful skunk cannabis does not cause \u2018any harm\u2019 \u2013 despite evidence that a quarter of new cases of psychosis are linked to it. Announcing his party\u2019s new drugs policy yesterday, Mr Clegg said: \u2018We shouldn\u2019t be treating the criminal \u201cMr Bigs\u201d the same as the users. The latter are the victims of the former.\u2019 But his comments were dismissed by the head of the Chatham House think tank Robin Niblett, who said: \u2018Are all users victims or is there a large proportion of people who enjoy drugs and take them recreationally? It is a question of demand, rather than people who need to be treated for an addiction.\u2019 Other experts have also questioned whether it is right to label all drug users as victims. Stuart Waiton, senior lecturer in sociology at Abertay University, said: \u2018The problem we have today is that society finds it difficult to hold people to account for their actions. \u2018The idea of moral responsibility is very weak because we assume that everyone\u2019s a victim. People don\u2019t need medical support \u2013 unless their bodies are falling to bits \u2013 they need to take responsibility for their own actions.\u2019 The Lib Dems\u2019 new policy would end prosecutions for people caught with small amounts of drugs for \u2018personal use\u2019. It would cover all drugs. Mr Clegg said the policy would be included in the Lib Dem manifesto. It is widely seen as a pitch to win back young voters disillusioned by the party\u2019s betrayal over university tuition fees.

Mr Clegg (bottom left) is facing opposition to his plan from David Cameron (pictured at Prime Minister's Questions this afternoon), who claims decriminalising drugs would increase their use . With neither Labour nor the Tories backing decriminalisation, it is unlikely to become government policy even if the Lib Dems remain in power after the election. Yesterday's announcement follows a controversial \u2018research\u2019 project ordered by Lib Dem Home Office ministers, which used taxpayers\u2019 money to study drugs policy around the world. Jeremy Browne and Norman Baker jetted off to examine how other countries tackle drugs. They travelled to ten countries, including the US, Portugal and Sweden, at a cost of almost \u00a340,000.

A child rapist delivered post to schools for more than a year after a criminal records blunder led to his conviction being missed. Andrew Horrocks, 35, was jailed for 12 years in 2007 for raping and sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl. But in December 2013 he was given a job at Whistl delivering post to businesses and schools. The convicted sex offender had two schools in the Prestwich and Whitefield areas of north Manchester in his rounds. Horrocks, who was based at the company's sorting depot in Prestwich, was sacked this week after the company was alerted to his conviction by one of his colleagues. The child rapist, from Wigan, told the company that he had an unspent conviction for a 'sexual offence' when he applied for the job. The firm, which employs 4,500 people across the UK, says it then did a Criminal Records Bureau check on Horrocks, which confirmed he had a conviction but the information was not passed on during the recruiting process. Whistl claim Horrocks did not give full details of the offence and the company made no attempt to investigate what he was jailed for. One member of staff at the Prestwich depot, who did not wish to be named, said: 'This has caused panic among the management at work. 'Horrocks has been going to schools and businesses as well as private homes - that is what we do. We deliver post to those kind of premises. I think it is shocking that this can happen.' A spokesman for Whistl said: 'Andrew Horrocks was employed as a delivery operative by the company in autumn 2013. He was subject to a CRB check and the ongoing associated Mail Integrity Code of Practice for the delivery of mail. Horrocks, who was based at this industrial estate in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, was sacked this week after one of his colleagues told bosses about his conviction . 'He had declared an unspent conviction and due to an unacceptable administrative error, the conviction was not highlighted. As soon as we became aware of the conviction, we met with Mr Horrocks and agreed to terminate his employment. 'We are currently undergoing a thorough review of the existing paperwork for delivery personnel and recruitment processes to ensure that this is an isolated incident. We are distressed that this situation has arisen as we aim to work to the very highest standards. 'He was a delivery person who would deliver mail to letter boxes in Prestwich and Whitefield.

A transgender hip-hop artist finished testifying Friday in her buttocks-injection murder trial but not before she asked to say something more to the jury. Padge-Victoria Windslowe looked dejected when her lawyer quickly shut down her request. 'I wanted to say something from my heart,' Windslowe grumbled.

A convicted rapist sentenced to 14 years has been granted a marriage licence to wed his long-term girlfriend so he can receive conjugal visits while in prison. Kevin Mitchell violently attacked the 30-year-old woman inside her own apartment in New York in the early hours of the morning, threatening her that he had a gun and would slit her throat. Mitchell, 34, pleaded guilty to one count of Rape in the First Degree at Manhattan Supreme Court on February 11, 2015. However, instead of being sent straight to a state penitentiary in upper New York State immediately, Mitchell was granted a one-month stay in Rikers Island so he could get married to Tyneka Hudson. Ms Hudson told the New York Daily News following her would-be husband's sentence: 'I'm going to stay by his side. He's a good man.' Prosecutors claim that Mitchell followed his victim into her apartment at 5.30am on the day of the attack. However, Ms Hudson questions the verdict. She said: 'No one knows the real story. Only she and him know. I can\u2019t say he did it. I can\u2019t say he didn\u2019t do it. He told me he didn\u2019t rape the lady. He said they were drinking and he put a hickey on her. I don\u2019t know what he was doing in her apartment.' Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr said: 'This lengthy prison sentence reflects the extremely violent nature of this attack, in which Kevin Mitchell raped a woman in her own home. 'I would like to thank the survivor for coming forward, and my office\u2019s Sex Crimes prosecutors for ensuring that this predator will serve years behind bars.' Prosecutor Siobhan Carty told Manhattan Supreme Court that Mitchell surreptitiously entered the woman's apartment on September 19, 2013 at 5.30am and threatened her with a knife and said he had a gun. After the attack, the victim rang 911 and NYPD's Warrant Squad arrested Mitchell four days later. Ms Carty read the victim's statement into the court record in advance of Mitchell's sentencing. She said on behalf of the victim: 'This man has completely ruined my life. I have tried to rationalise what I could have done in my life to have deserved what happened to me. The only conclusion that I have come up with is that some people in this world are truly terrible.' 'I cannot understand why the man did this to me. Why he told me he would kill me if I didn\u2019t do what he said. 'I do not know if he raped me because I only had $24, or if that was the initial reason that he broke into my apartment.

Police discovered the body of Mr Ambrose in the garden while his wife's body was found in a chair in the living room that she slept in due to back problems. A post-mortem revealed Mr Ambrose suffered a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the face, while Mrs Ambrose had two gunshot wounds. The inquest today ruled Mrs Ambrose had been unlawfully killed while Mr Ambrose took his own life. Mrs Ambrose had been in and out of hospital in the months prior to her untimely death and was diagnosed with malignant adenocarcinoma - a type of cancer that forms in mucus-secreting glands through out the body - on May 6. Doctors had given her a prognosis of just six to nine months to live. But the inquest was told that Mrs Ambrose had raised the couple's concerns about moving into a home during a carer's home visit.

'She said they would be sad to leave the house.' The court heard that Mr Ambrose was the legal owner of a single-barrelled shotgun despite recent concerns about the onset of dementia.

Victim: Garrad allegedly forced her granddaughter, Savannah Hardin (pictured left and right), nine, to run to her death at her home in Etowah County in 2012 after discovering she had lied about eating forbidden chocolates . Assistant district attorney Marcus Reid said during opening statements in a standing-room-only courtroom that jurors would hear from neighbors who say they heard and saw what happened to Savannah the day she died. Defense attorney Dani Bone tried to raise doubt about medical evidence in the case by showing jurors a version of the indictment, which mentioned severe dehydration and seizures. However, Bone said Savannah died because of a fatally low sodium level. He said the evidence will show the girl had too much water in her system, not that she was dehydrated.

When paramedics arrived, they found Savannah on the ground, \u2018freezing cold to the touch,\u2019 her clothes and shoes soaking wet, Reid said.

'Detecting and diagnosing thyroid cancer can be difficult, because it's often looking for a very small number of occurrences in a very large background of benign nodules,' said Dr Donald Bodenner at the University of Arkansas. 'It is also difficult to say with certainty that a patient is cancer-free after surgery.' Dogs, however, can sense it as their ability to smell is 10 times better than that of humans. The researchers now want to see if Frankie, and other dogs, could be used as a diagnostic test for different types of cancer. Cancer Research UK told the BBC that using dogs would be impractical. However, it added that discovering the chemicals the dogs can smell could lead to better tests. Researchers at the University of Arkansas said Frankie only made two false positives and two incorrect 'all-clear' diagnoses. He is pictured here. Pictured is Dr Arny Ferrando, who found Frankie as a stray . 'Having a technique with which to do these things with a higher degree of certainty would be a tremendous advance in thyroid cancer,' said Dr Bodenner. The implications could be tremendous, the researchers said, both in terms of cost savings in diagnoses and especially the prevention of unnecessary surgeries. Additionally, the method could be transported to under-served areas where traditional detection methods of biopsy and ultrasound are unavailable.

CEO Antony Jenkins took a \u00a31.1million bonus, taking his overall pay package to \u00a35.5million, as he said the bank is in its best position since the 2008 financial crash. But Mr Jenkins also revealed Barclays has set aside another \u00a3750million to pay fines for rigging foreign currency rates, taking its total bill for the scandal to \u00a31.25billion.

Today it was announced Barclays also added \u00a3200 million to provide for the ongoing compensation programme for customers mis-sold payment protection insurance.

A supply teacher tried to pester two teenager schoolgirls into a threesome despite being warned about his flirty behaviour by colleagues, a court heard. James Heathcote, 26, a former sports coach, was employed by St Helena School in Colchester, Essex, after being sacked from his previous job when a female colleague accused him of sexually harassment. While there he groomed two besotted pupils and pestered them to fulfill his fantasy of having a threesome. The supply teacher even exposed himself to the pair over a webcam as he traded explicit messages referring to bondage and strip tease fantasies. He was only caught when a fellow pupil reported the explicit messages before he could convince the impressionable girls to go through with his plan. Heathcote, from Felixstowe, Suffolk, fought back tears in the dock at Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday as he was jailed for five months. He was also ordered to sign the sexual offenders register for seven years. Heathcote admitted two charges of inciting two girls to engage in sexual activity whilst in a position of trust but denied a third charge of sexual touching, involving allegedly kissing a pupil, which will now lie on file. As he passed sentence Judge David Turner QC said: 'Young women in school are entitled to be protected - even from themselves. 'You were the subject of some attention from female pupils and you may have found that flattering, but you should not have acted on it. 'You exchanged messages that were plainly, openly and explicitly sexual. 'You made references to bed, sex, intercourse, tying up and 'banging'. 'The sexual nature of these messages is unmistakable. 'You had asked for a 'threesome' with the young women, which they refused. 'It needs to be understood that people in a school setting owe a duty of care to the young people in their charge. 'You have fallen far short in that duty.' Heathcote joined the school as a part-time supply teacher in Spring 2013 before taking up a full time role in September 2013 and moving into a house on school property. His flirty nature with pupils was noted by colleagues who warned him to discourage his young female admirers. He ignored the advice before swapping phone numbers with two female schoolgirls in October 2013 when they complained about struggling with exam stress. A judge said Heathcote had 'fallen far short' of his duty when he groomed the two besotted teenagers . The messages soon spread onto social media sites, including Instagram and Facebook, where the exchanges became sexual in nature as he begged the girls to share intimate pictures. On one occasion he even exposed himself to both girls whilst chatting to them on FaceTime as they sat in their nightwear. Allan Compton, prosecuting, said: 'Police went through some of the Facebook messages to one girl which did contain significant sexual content. 'The messages described fantasies about being tied up, strip tease,", "summary": "James Heathcote, 26, jailed for five months at Chelmsford Crown Court .

'They brought me up here to execute me,' Cecil Clayton uttered before he was put to death by lethal injection after Governor Jay Nixon denied a clemency request. After a final meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans and a cola, he was executed at the correctional center in Bonne Terre at 9.13pm and was pronounced dead at 9.21pm. Clayton was executed despite repeated attempts by his lawyers to spare his life, claiming he had an IQ of just 71 after suffering a traumatic brain injury decades before he killed the officer in 1996. Put to his death: Cecil Clayton, 74, was executed by lethal injection at 9:13 p.m. on Tuesday for the 1996 murder of Deputy Sheriff Christopher Castetter. He was pronounced dead at 9:21 p.m. The nation's high court turned aside appeals after the Missouri Supreme Court, in a 4-3 ruling, also declined to intervene. The court's majority concluded last weekend that there was no evidence Clayton - despite his brain injury - wasn't capable of understanding his circumstances. The U.S. Supreme Court was also divided, with four judges saying they would have granted a stay. Mike O'Connell, spokesman for the Missouri Department of Corrections, said in a statement that Clayton was executed at 9.13pm and pronounced dead at 9:21 p.m. The claim of diminished mental capacity stemmed from a 1972 sawmill accident that Clayton's attorneys argued cost him about eight percent of his brain, including 20 per cent of the frontal lobe portion governing impulse control and judgment. Combined with his reported IQ of 71 and reading skills of a fourth-grader, Clayton's attorneys insisted psychiatric evaluations over the past decade concluded that the inmate didn't understand the significance of his scheduled execution or the reasons for it, making him ineligible to be put to death under state and federal law. In their 11th-hour appeals, Clayton's attorneys had argued that his deteriorating mental health left him convinced his conviction was a plot against him and that God would rescue him from a death sentence at the last minute, 'after which time he will travel the country playing the piano and preaching the gospel.' The appeals were ultimately rejected. 'Cecil Clayton had - literally - a hole in his head,' said Elizabeth Unger Carlyle, one of his attorneys, following his death on Tuesday night. 'Executing him without a hearing to determine his competency violated the Constitution, Missouri law, and basic human dignity... The world will not be a safer place because Mr. Clayton has been executed.' But the victim's family were in support of his killer being put to death.

The area in Bermondsey, Southwark, which was severely bombed during the Blitz in the Second World War, was put into lockdown from Monday night. It is believed the bomb was dropped over London by the Luftwaffe on 11 May 1941 but unusually did not detonate. More than 1,200 people were evacuated from their homes following the discovery by builders working on the construction site of the former Southwark Irish Pensioners centre. A police cordon sealed off 200 metres of land surrounding the bomb site for 32 hours as the Army built a bunker around the bomb to safely defuse it. The teams, who had previously worked on Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan and Northern Ireland, used Hesco blast walls, like those used to build Camp Bastion and other military bases in Afghanistan during the conflict there. A soldier in charge of removing it has revealed that if the bomb had exploded it could have led to 'major loss of life' and significant damage to buildings. Senior Ammunition Technician John Lester said it was a 'a live munition in a dangerous condition' which had to be taken far from the city before it could be safely destroyed. SAT Lester, of 11 EOD, Royal Logistic Corps, said: 'This bomb was a live munition in a dangerous condition. It had been disturbed by some pretty heavy building machinery, which is never a good thing. Bombs don't like being bashed around. 'But once we'd uncovered it, we knew what we were dealing with and it was just a question of solving the puzzle quickly so we could get it away and the good residents of Bermondsey back in their homes. 'We knew we had to get it away to dispose of it safely because trying to deal onsite with a bomb that size, even under a controlled explosion, would cause significant damage to buildings, (and) property, and the risk of major loss of life in such a highly populated part of the city", "summary": "A controlled explosion of the Second World War bomb was carried out in a quarry in Cliffe, Kent, this morning .

At least 65,000 patients are now going overseas for surgery and other procedures each year \u2013 twice as many as a decade ago. One of the most popular destinations is Poland, for cataract treatment, as well as Spain, where couples are going for IVF. Medical professionals also say young women are increasingly travelling to countries such as Thailand and Turkey for cheap cosmetic surgery, including tummy tucks and breast implants. Many are combining the trip with a holiday, so they can recover in the sun while avoiding awkward questions back home. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics estimate that 65,000 patients went abroad for treatment in 2013, paying a combined \u00a3129.3million. A decade ago, the figure was around 32,000 a year. The head of one firm, which arranges overseas treatment, said there was a growing demand for those wanting cataract surgery, hip and knee replacements and IVF. All of these procedures are deemed \u2018non-urgent\u2019 on the NHS and so have long waiting times or are no longer offered at all. Ugur Samut, chief executive of Medigo, said the number of queries for all types of treatment had trebled in the past six months. \u2018We believe demand has increased recently due to longer waiting lists and postcode lotteries for some procedures on the NHS.\u2019 Tuck on the cheap: Medical professionals say young women are increasingly travelling to countries such as Thailand and Turkey for cheap cosmetic surgery, including tummy tucks and breast implants . He said for his patients, Poland was the most popular destination, with many travelling there for cataract surgery. Hungary is the second most common, mainly for dental procedures which are expensive in England and where patients have to pay even for NHS treatment. Spain is popular for couples seeking IVF, Thailand for laser eye surgery and Turkey for liposuction, the removal of body fat. Barry Wilson, 60, from Birmingham, went to a private clinic in Poland last July for cataract surgery after being told he would have to wait eight months on the NHS. The entire trip including flights, hotels and the treatment cost less than \u00a31,000. He said: \u2018It\u2019s very daunting to travel to another country for surgery. My surgeon put me at ease at my consultation. I would return again, with no worries.\u2019 But Keith Pollard of website Treatment Abroad, which offers advice to patients going overseas, said the rise was mainly driven by adults wanting cosmetic surgery. He said: \u2018One reason is the increase in disposable income. People are prepared to spend more on cosmetic surgery. \u2018The other is that it has become more socially acceptable to travel abroad for treatment.\u2019 Nonetheless, hospital waiting lists in England are at a six-year high, with almost 12,000 patients facing delays of at least six months for routine operations. The figures for treatment abroad are from the ONS\u2019s annual International Passenger Survey, in which 250,000 people from England and Wales are interviewed.", "summary": "Thousands travel abroad for cheaper surgeries to beat waiting lists .

It's 29 for the season now. Will he score his first for England in the coming days?

Tottenham striker Harry Kane scored his first ever Premier League hat-trick against Leicester on Saturday . Kane scores his and Spurs' third goal during the 4-3 win over Leicester at White Hart Lane on Saturday . Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino believes that Kane has kept his head on his shoulders . Harry Kane is the first Spurs player to score a Premier League hat-trick since Gareth Bale in December 2012.

The formations, also known as wave clouds, were scattered over miles, producing a stunning spectacle. Rarely seen in the UK, lenticular clouds are formed when a tall geographic feature, such as the the top of a mountain, obstructs a strong wind.

As air moves down into the trough of these waves the water evaporates again, leaving behind clouds in a characteristic lenticular shape. Mr Spencer noticed them while driving to the shops and was so amazed that he stopped the car to retrieve his camera from the boot.

Crichton Browne is renowned for bringing science to the asylum when he started a laboratory for anatomy, neuropathology and histology. These pictures, taken in 1869 at the West Riding Pauper Launatic Asylum near Wakefield, Yorkshire, show some of the patients interred there. While some of the treatment looks barbaric to modern eyes, in fact the centre pioneered the way for ethical treatment of the mentally ill . The photographs are part of a 5,000-strong collection of detailed documents on patients taken by Sir James Crichton-Browne, the chief neurologist at West Riding, who helped lead the way in medical treatment of mental disorders . The West Riding Asylum, based near Wakefield, was the sixth institution of its kind in the UK to take those with mental conditions out of the way of regular society to a place of relative protection. To that end, the hospital-come-boarding house was entirely self-sufficient, housing its own bakery, butchery, dairy, shop and laundry. Previously those with mental disorders were exhibited in bedlams, such as the famous one in London, imprisoned in cells, or chained to walls in workhouses. This new, relatively compassionate approach was driven by the asylum's founder, William Tuke, a Quaker who believed in the sanctity of life and of behaving kindly and morally to all of humanity. Mark Davis, author of Voices From The Asylum, a book on the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum, said: 'This new, relatively compassionate approach was driven by William Tuke the founder of the York Retreat which opened in 1796 after Hannah Mills, a Quaker, died at the York asylum in 1790. 'Tuke, a Quaker believed in the sanctity of life and of behaving kindly and morally to all of humanity. At that time Dr Samuel Best who superintended York asylum regarded the mentally ill as less than human, and while in the asylum inmates were denied access to religion and God. 'Quakers, who believe there is a spark of divinity in everyone, were appalled by this. The Retreat is still famous today for having pioneered the humane treatment and moral treatment that became a model for asylums around the world.' Alongside each of the pictures are detailed notes including height, weight, religion, and eventual fate of the patient. A diagnosis is also written on some images.

A Victoria Cross medal awarded to a soldier who volunteered for a suicide mission during the First World War is to be auctioned for \u00a3160,000. The honour, the highest decoration for valour in the face of the enemy, was awarded to Private James Towers after he bravely volunteered for the mission at Mericourt near Lens, France, on October 6, 1918. The soldier, from Preston, Lancashire, stepped forward as the sixth man to dash out in front of enemy machine gun posts and get a vital message to a cut-off platoon 150 yards in front of him. He put himself forward despite witnessing the five previous runners - including his best friend Private Frank Dunlop - get shot down just minutes earlier. During his mission, he managed to evade bullets and even startled a German machine gun nest when he leapt across an embankment and landed just five feet away from them. They were so surprised they failed to launch bullets until after he had fled. The solder eventually made it to the lost platoon, gave the orders to the commanding officer and dug in with them for the night. Using his knowledge of the location of the German machine gun posts, he led them safely back to the British lines at dawn the next day. For his incredible act of courage, he was awarded the Victoria Cross and it was presented to him by King George V at Buckingham Palace upon his return to Britain. It was left to his family when he died, aged 79, in 1977, and later sold at auction in 1983. It has been owned by a private collector for the last 30 years but is now going to be sold on again at an auction in London later this month. As well as the Victoria Cross, four other medals of his will also be auctioned including his British War and Victory medals, his Coronation 1937 medal and his Coronation 1953 honour. The collection has been given an estimated guide price of between \u00a3130,000 and \u00a3160,000. David Erskine-Hill, of auctioneers Dix Noonan Webb, said: 'James Towers had watched five comrades die as they tried to get through to the lost platoon yet he still volunteered to take the message. 'This was cool, calculated courage from a man prepared to risk his own life to stop his fellow soldiers from being cut off. Through a combination of athletic prowess and sheer good luck he got away with it. 'His is a great story of gallantry and survival.'

They might say \u2018Lucky sod\u2019 or \u2018he doesn\u2019t deserve that.\u2019 Jealousy is a terrible thing. These people will focus on anything but football. And Rooney is a classic example.

They can\u2019t handle that he did something they didn\u2019t. They refuse to applaud someone who has made the most of his talent, realised his dreams and become very wealthy in the process.

But all of those on board the flight to Germany were killed after prosecutors say co-pilot Andreas Lubitz locked the pilot out of the cockpit and aimed the aircraft down in an eight-minute descent until it hit the ground. Juan Pardo Yanez - the child's grandfather and former husband of the eldest Emma - was virtually speechless after returning from a trip for relatives of the 150 crash victims to the crash zone in Seyne-Les-Alpes, France. Investigators were still working in a ravine collecting small pieces of the plane and body parts ahead of a painstaking identification effort. French investigators are continuing to work amongst the debris of the Airbus A320 at the site of the crash, near Seyne-les-Alpes . 'There is nothing that can be done or could be said to me to change the loss of these three so dearly loved ones,' Pardo Yanez told journalists outside a Barcelona crisis center set up for victims' relatives. About 400 friends and relatives of the daughter, mother and grandmother gathered for a private Mass at a monastery in Sant Cugat del Valles, choking up as they went inside to commemorate those lost from the family that moved to the community of about 85,000 about a decade ago. The youngest Emma's father, Juan Ignacio Solera, is the founder and chief executive of iVOOX, a company that makes a popular software application for podcast downloads. Emma went to a Catholic school just a five-minute walk away from the family's apartment in a cluster of buildings ringed by high brick walls. Her death hit classmates incredibly hard, said principal Maria Reina Montoro, who could only come up with one word to describe how they felt: 'Destroyed.' While quiet and timid, the youngest Emma was a dedicated tennis player who regularly practiced at a club, said Manu Navas, director of the club's tennis academy. 'She wasn't a player who stood out, but what I would highlight about her was her attitude. She never took no for an answer,' Navas said of the girl.

Police have investigated four alleged victims who say they were abused in the 1980s and 1990s by Scott Rogers, who was killed in the US after becoming a local television celebrity there. Three of the men claiming that Rogers attacked them have only come forward after he was shot dead in August by Mathew Hodgkinson, who also killed himself. Investigation: Scott Rogers is accused of molesting at least four young boys while living in Britain . Rogers - known as Richard Scott-Rogers when he lived in Britain - was charged with abusing the other boy more than 20 years ago, but was cleared in 1993 after a trial. Before he moved to the US, Rogers founded the Academy of Dancing and Performing Arts in Bury St Edmunds, which was described as a 'supposedly religious cult' by the local council. Rogers allegedly held 'sleepovers' with young students, where he would 'cuddle them in their sleeping bags', according to parents. He then moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he hosted a weekend morning TV show called Around Town, making him a minor celebrity in the area.

A Suffolk Police crime report uncovered by a MailOnline freedom of information request said: 'Three new victims of child abuse reported to the Suffolk police sexual abuse by Richard Scott-Rogers. 'These historic incidents were recorded as notifiable crimes. Police provided support to these victims. There are no further lines of enquiry to complete in relation to the investigation with no other parties involvement. 'Given the suspect had died these crimes are therefore finalised in accordance with Home Office crime recording outcomes.' The three new victims brings the total number of British complainants to four, including the boy who made the original abuse claims in the 1990s.

The American journeyman was handed a 15-year ban after being found to have taken several banned substances, including steroids, in out-of-competition tests carried out in December and January. The severity of the ban for the 29-year-old world No 267 owes itself to Odesnik already having been given a two-year ban when he was found in 2010 by Australian customs officials to be importing vials of human growth hormone at Melbourne Airport. American tennis player Wayne Odesnik has been banned for 15 years after a second doping violation . \u2018Goodbye Wayne \u2026 good riddance,\u2019 tweeted Murray, who has been among the more vociferous players calling for an extension of anti-doping measures in tennis. Andy Roddick joined in the condemnation of Odesnik who, even before 2010, was deeply unpopular in the locker room. He tweeted: \u2018My feelings are that he\u2019s a d*****bag and I hate that he has a US flag to his name when he\u2019s cheating, good riddance.\u2019 Veteran British doubles player Jamie Delgado chimed in: \u2018Wayne Odesnik cheats again, what a joke. Get out of the sport mate.\u2019 Murray later beat Adrian Mannarino 6-3, 6-3 at the BNP Paribas Open and will face Spain\u2019s Feliciano Lopez in the quarter-finals. It was Murray\u2019s 496th win, equalling Tim Henman\u2019s record for a British man in the Open Era. After his victory, Murray spoke further on Odesnik's ban. He told the BBC: 'I think it's a good thing for tennis that he's off the tour. Andy Murray tweeted 'bye bye Wayne... good riddance' before his win over Adrian Mannarino in Indian Wells . 'He was given a second chance in a way. He was a cheat so it is good for everyone involved in tennis that he's been dealt with in the right way. 'I think any doping in any sport is very bad. I think it's the job of the sports when cases do come up that they treat them very strictly and in the right way. 'I think [testing] is going in the right direction but I don't think it will ever be perfect.' Odesnik issued a statement maintaining his innocence, claiming he had accidentally ingested substances through taking an over-the-counter supplement, but he has little credit in the bank, especially after being linked to the notorious Biogenesis clinic in Florida two years ago. Tennis has stepped up its drug-testing regime and introduced a biological passport, but many still feel that a wealthy game should allocate more resources.

Last night the awards were branded \u2018excessive\u2019 and \u2018unacceptable\u2019, with campaigners criticising Mr Osborne for failing to stamp out fat-cat pay at RBS. To avoid a new pay row, current chief executive Ross McEwan waived his entitlement to a \u00a31million fixed shares allowance introduced last year to bolster his basic pay package and dodge the EU bonus cap. This restricted his total pay for 2014 to \u00a31.85million. Mr McEwan has also waived his \u00a31million allowance for this year. But yesterday it emerged he could still receive up to \u00a33.9million for 2015, including a long-term shares award of up to \u00a31.6million that will pay out for several years. Warning: Boss Ross McEwan admitted it could be several years until taxpayers finally get their money back after seven consecutive losses . He will also receive a \u00a31.5million \u2018golden hello\u2019 shares payment in August to compensate him for bonuses he forfeited when he left his previous job at Commonwealth Bank of Australia in 2012. Finance chief Ewen Stevenson received \u00a33.1million last year, including a similar \u00a31.9million \u2018golden hello\u2019 payment \u2013 this time for giving up for his old job at Credit Suisse. Last night Labour MP John Mann, a member of the Treasury select committee said the awards were \u2018unacceptable\u2019. He added: \u2018Here is a bank that\u2019s not doing very well that the taxpayer owns and has underwritten, so why should these few not very successful bankers get paid so much money?\u2019 The boss of RBS\u2019s so-called \u2018bad bank\u2019 also hit the jackpot as separate filings to the stockmarket revealed he received a \u00a32million shares windfall yesterday. Rory Cullinan, who is responsible for getting rid of the lender\u2019s most toxic loans, was among seven senior figures to pocket a total of \u00a35.5million from bonuses awarded in previous years. The generous payout for Mr Cullinan is particularly sensitive as he is responsible for shrinking the investment bank. There are fears that up to 14,000 jobs could be at risk. Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TaxPayers\u2019 Alliance, criticised Mr Osborne for not doing more to curb pay at RBS, which is still 79 per cent owned by taxpayers. He said: \u2018Ultimately pay deals need to be approved by shareholders, and at RBS that includes taxpayers.

But instead of laughing off the mischievous toddler's prank, she 'went mad' and insisted that the little girl to eat the contents of one of the cans, regardless of what was inside. Scroll down for video . Brave: Victoria Evans was viciously abused for more than 19 years by her foster mother Eunice Spry . The contents turned out to be cat food and the toddler, retching and crying, threw up. Spry's response? Instead of a hug, she forced the child to eat the vomit as well. The incident heralded what would turn into more than 19 years of abuse at the hands of a woman described as 'Britain's most sadistic mother'. Victoria, and her siblings Christopher and Alloma, were subjected to a catalogue of appalling abuse at their foster mother's hands, while her own biological daughter Judith and adopted daughter Charlotte, were pampered and well-cared for. Now, all three children have spoken out for the first time and appear in the latest episode of Britain's Darkest Taboos which will be screened just months after Spry's release from prison.

Depraved: Spry, pictured left after her arrest, meted out horrific abuse to her children. Victoria is pictured. Appalling: One of the cruel injuries inflicted on the children by twice-married Jehovah's Witness Spry . In a cruel twist, the evil foster mother was rehomed close to the scene of her crimes - and within a few miles of her victims own homes. \u2018Why do criminals have more rights than their victims?

Spry's crimes began shortly after she was given approval by social services to become a foster mother. The three children, all toddlers, duly arrived. At first, all seemed well but as the months went by, devout Jehovah's Witness Spry began to show a hitherto unnoticed dark side. Ruined: Christopher Spry, who was tied to a van and dragged around a field by Spry, calls her a 'psycho' Shocking: As a toddler, Victoria was made to eat catfood and then her own vomit when she threw it up .

So the prospect of a 16-day voyage round New Zealand to Australia is alarming. Will I survive? Or will I disappear overboard, laden with food, the heavyweight victim of some marine disaster? New Zealand is a living geography lesson - a country strewn with mountains, fjords, forests, glaciers, and lakes, home to the dolphin, whale, penguin, albatross, seal and sea-lion (there is a difference: the latter eat the former for breakfast). A place to pause: The tiny port of Picton is a gateway to the winelands of New Zealand's Marborough region . Home, too, to the beautiful blue agapanthus flower and the crimson-flowered pohutukawa, the New Zealand Christmas tree. And you can get oysters everywhere. It's a long journey to New Zealand, so make sure you find somewhere to recover. The Boatshed on Waiheke Island, a short ferry ride from Auckland, is perfect - a boutique hotel on the water where you can begin your acquaintance with this faraway land.

In our ship-shape suite, everything is sparklingly clean (as a woman who enjoys scrubbing her front steps, I notice these things). Captain Cook charted the coastline of New Zealand 245 years ago. As well as unpredictable seas, he feared scurvy, caused by a lack of Vitamin C, which leads to suppurating wounds, loss of teeth and ultimately death. No danger of that on the Odyssey. I can't think of another period in my life when I've eaten so well, so consistently. Cook pulped plants to make vitamin beer and fed his men sauerkraut; I sip a glass of champagne and nibble a canap\u00e9. That night the whoosh of waves against the hull lulls me to sleep.

Click the above link for Jeff Powell's full report on Brook's victory from Sheffield's Motorpoint Arena. Thanks for following Sportsmail's coverage of the big fight. It's all over and Kell Brook remains the IBF world welterweight title holder. JEFF POWELL: Brook's red shorts covered that wound on his left leg but there was no hiding place for his challenger. Dan was taking right hands to the head as if by habit and he went down for the third time from an accumulation of blows. Make that a fourth, Dan falling a split second before the bell. American referee Earl Brown completed the statutory eight count before agreeing with the challenger's corner that enough was enough. 10-9. JEFF POWELL: Brook was looking for the finish but Dan managed to weather the storm at the opening of the round \u2013 and somehow fought back. The Brook attack was relentless and Dan reeled around the ring like a drunk, yet still made it to the end of another three minutes of hell. 10-9 . JEFF POWELL: There were no signs of distress from that left leg which had been savagely severed. This time it was Brook inflicting the pain. One sharp sent Dan reeling. The next, an uppercut, put him down. The third sent him to the canvas again. Only a mix of gallantry and clinching got Dan through more punishment to the bell, which seemed more likely to have condemned him to a continuing world of pain rather than to have saved him. 10-7 . JEFF POWELL: Dan had pronounced himself ready not only to rumble but to ignore the sound and fury of the partisan Sheffield crowd. He started brightly enough to suggest nerves might not be problem but he promptly pressed forward, playing into Brook\u2019s preference for counter punching. The home boy\u2019s straight lefts over the Canadian based Romanian\u2019s southpaw leads were especially effective and he was off to a good start. 10-9 . JEFF POWELL: The Motorpoint Arena was packed to the tank-full, waiting to welcome the fighter Sheffield believes can be its successor to Naseem Hamed. That atmosphere generator had to be restarted after the electric shock of seeing another son of the Steel City, Adam Etches, brutally knocked out by his veteran Belarus rival for the IBF international middleweight belt. The deeply experienced 40-year-old Sergei Khomitsky drew Etches into a clever trap midway through the third round, opening him up for the perfect right cross.

+{"article": "Labour and David Cameron's Tories remain neck and neck, despite the Conservatives being ahead in the polls . Tomorrow the Queen dissolves Parliament and the Election campaign begins. It will be the strangest Election of modern times and leaves the experts baffled. Most expected that, with economic recovery, and Cameron ahead of Miliband in the polls as favoured Prime Minister, the Tories would pull ahead. That has not happened. Labour and the Tories remain neck and neck. Only a fool, or a social scientist, would predict the outcome. The two major parties now attract a diminishing share of voters \u2013 about two in three in 2010 compared with more than 96 per cent in 1951. Voters have a wider choice than ever before. In England, they can opt for three other alternatives \u2013 not just the Lib Dems, but also Ukip and the Greens \u2013 all of whom score more than five per cent in the polls. In Scotland and Wales, there is a further alternative \u2013 the Nationalists. The weakening of the two party system makes a hung Parliament very likely. But, curiously, a small overall majority for the Tories or Labour could prove even more unstable than a hung parliament. The Tories would be at the mercy of their Eurosceptic Right wing, as John Major was in 1992. He had a majority of just 21, and used to say that he was at the mercy of 13 of them who were quite mad. They made his life a misery when he sought to ratify the Maastricht Treaty reforming the European Union. A Labour government with a small majority would be at the mercy of its Left wing which opposes austerity. Labour, contrary to Tory propaganda, is committed not to a splurge in public spending, but to public expenditure cuts, though less severe than Cameron and Osborne are proposing. But Labour austerity would disappoint the expectations of its supporters, many of whom look for rapid improvements in the NHS and social care. Speaking two weeks ago at the London School of Economics, Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP leader, advised English voters to support the Greens or what she called \u2018progressive\u2019 Labour candidates, that is candidates opposed to austerity. She hopes to create an anti-austerity bloc in the next Parliament, composed of the SNP, Greens and Left-wing Labour. That would cause problems for Miliband even if he won a majority. But, obviously, a hung parliament is more likely. The key question is whether it will lead to stable government, as it did in 2010. Many then thought, including myself, that the Conservative/Lib Dem coalition could not last. But it has, and with a comfortable majority of 78 in the Commons it has never really looked in danger of being brought down in Parliament. The danger in 2015 is that no majority coalition can be formed. Under our electoral system, Ukip and the Greens are unlikely to win many seats. That is why both support proportional representation.

A jilted lover sent his ex-girlfriend a threatening text message before breaking down her front door three minutes later and stabbing her friend in a jealous rage, a court has heard. Jason Taylor, 21, was allegedly convinced Jodie Emery, 26, was dating another man, telling her: \u2018Last chance otherwise things are going to turn sour, tell me who is there.\u2019 Then he suddenly broke down the mother-of-two\u2019s front door at her home in Preston, Lancashire - and, armed with a knife, began grappling with Adam Wilson, 25, who had been invited round for drinks, the court was told. Miss Emery - whose two young daughters were asleep upstairs - allegedly tried to stand between the pair in a bid to split them up, but Mr Wilson was left with a fatal thigh wound. The victim - who was barely known to meat factory worker Taylor - was taken to hospital but bled to death before doctors could save him. Preston Crown Court heard yesterday that the incident occurred on September 22 last year at 11pm - just two weeks after Taylor had split with Miss Emery after an eight-month relationship. The couple had earlier been on a summer caravan holiday in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, but on their return Taylor was said to have become upset when he discovered Miss Emery had terminated a pregnancy. Two days before the killing Taylor was at a local pub where he allegedly became so convinced Miss Emery was seeing someone else that he smashed a window and tried to punch a man who had once dated her. He was also constantly texting and phoning Miss Emery and would go to her house and sit outside watching what was going on inside - and sometimes even look through the windows, the court was told.

She was said to have texted back: \u2018On my own - I keep telling you\u2019. But Taylor then allegedly said: \u2018Last chance otherwise things are going to turn sour, tell me who is there, last chance\u2019.

An 'obsessed' elementary school teacher has been arrested after deluging an 11-year-old student 2,400 text messages, gifts and coded notes in her homework in an attempt to get the girl to run away with her, police say. Investigators do not believe that 28-year-old Geraldine Alcorn's interest in the girl was sexual - instead she wanted to steal the child away from her parents and adopt her. The former teacher at Beechwood Elementary School in Pittsburgh continued to contact the student even after she was suspended and told she was being investigated for her behavior by police and Pittsburgh Public Schools, detectives say. Alcorn was arraigned last week on charges of child luring, corruption of minors and attempting to interfere with custody of the child. She was jailed after being unable to post $100,000 bond. She and the girl exchanged 2,400 text messages in the two weeks before the mother discovered the messages, letters and items the teacher gave her, police said.

'In keeping with the school district's procedures, the teacher was immediately placed on suspension while those claims were investigated.' Alcorn resigned March 2, Howze said. Police say Alcorn still tried to contact the girl after that despite knowing police and school officials were investigating and having been warned by police to not contact the student. Alcorn was arrested outside her home and held on $100,000 bail over the texting, which took place over the course of several weeks earlier this year . Alcorn continued to contact the student even after she was forced to resign and warned to stay away from the 11-year-old, police say . Alcorn returned to the school on Friday, March 13, to collect her personal belongings, and on the following Monday, the girl found 'gifts and several letters, some encrypted, in her locker and desk,' according to the criminal complaint. 'The letters, written by Alcorn, instructed the 11-year-old female to contact her.' Alcorn hid her phone number on a math worksheet by telling the girl to dial numbers that had been circled, police said. The girl's mother told police Alcorn had visited their home without permission while the mother was working. The mother then found 21 stickers and letters in the girl's school binder, plus two letters the girl wrote to Alcorn with three headings: 'Things Ms. Alcorn and I can do,' 'what we can do,' and 'when we can do it,' the complaint said. The girl told police she and Alcorn kept their relationship secret and, authorities said, after the 'hundreds and hundreds of text messages and several gifts, Alcorn was able to lure the 11-year-old female into her house.' Among other things, Alcorn discussed adopting the girl or taking her from her home, police said.

Humiliating: Revelation that the Coalition has raised taxes is embarrassing for Prime Minister David Cameron (pictured), who has spoken repeatedly of his desire to be seen as a 'tax cutter' The tax hikes have been only partially offset by reductions totalling \u00a348billion \u2013 including \u00a38billion from raising the personal income tax threshold, \u00a35.9billion in lowering corporation tax and \u00a33.9billion from real-terms cuts in fuel duties. Ministers insist the tax rises were needed to help plug the budget deficit left by Labour. Sources say they had no choice but to take 'difficult decisions' to save Britain from bankruptcy. But the findings remain embarrassing for Mr Cameron, who has spoken repeatedly of his desire to be seen as a 'tax cutter'. They show the value of the rise in personal income tax allowance has been wiped out by rises in other levies. In next week's Budget, Chancellor George Osborne, is expected to announce a further increase in the personal allowance, along with modest cuts in alcohol duties.

The video, shot by an undercover researcher, captured employees working at a frantic pace in a factory known as Dongguan Tiangxiang. Chemicals lie haphazardly around the room and workers use a potent chemical called potassium permanganate without wearing proper protective masks.

In a company statement, the popular brand said: 'Until we believe that proper controls can be put in place to ensure sandblasting is done safely, we are no longer developing new styles with sandblasting.' Jeans with a distressed, already-worn appearance have been popular since the 1990s and method to create the effect is by blasting them with sand. Manual sandblasting of jeans requires only a hose, an air compressor and sand - workers literally blast the material with sand to give them a faded look and to soften the denim. Constant exposure to minute particles used in the process can lead to accidental inhalation, and later respiratory disease silicosis. Silicosis is caused when small particles of silica dust from the sand embed themselves within the lungs. The incurable disease causes shortness of breath, coughing, weakness and weight loss and in its acute form is fatal. When asked by investigators about their supplier's continued use of the practice, they claimed the sandblasting facilities had been removed but did not say when. A spokesman said: 'AEO has thoroughly investigated the factory Dongguan Tim Cheung (here referred to as Dongguan Tianxiang) and has verified that all sandblasting equipment has been removed from the factory.' Abercrombie & Fitch also appeared to dispute the evidence, claiming: 'Yes Dongguan Tiangxiang produces goods for us. We don't", "summary": "Sandblasting has long been used to give jeans the fashionable faded look . But practice was banned in some countries after being linked to silicosis . In 2011, American Eagle Outfitters joined initiative to boycott the technique .

Eliot Easterby, a former parish councillor and the author of 'teenage' books, had hundreds of indecent images of underage boys stored in a hard drive and three memory sticks at his house. The 44-year-old from Hamble, Hampshire, also had a collection of child pornography DVDs showing young boys in paddling pools and a hidden stash of underwear left behind when he took young boys in Scouts trips. Eliot Easterby, 44, was convicted of a string of child pornography offences after police discovered more than 600 indecent images and a haul of boys' underwear at his home in Hamble, Hampshire . Following a major international operation which involved Canadian police Easterby was charged with a number of offences including the making of and possession of child pornography. Despite being convicted of 13 charges relating to boys aged eight to 15 he walked free from court with a community order. Sentencing at Southampton Crown Court, where jurors took less than an hour to convict Easterby of the charges brought against him, Judge Peter Henry said he felt it was the best way to both punish the man and protect the public from him. The former teacher and author walked free from court (above) with a community order . During an investigation which began with a tip off from Canadian police, officers discovered more than 600 indecent images at Easterby's home. Around 300 had been viewed and deleted with another 374 downloaded and stored on memory sticks and a hard drive. A stash of child pornography was also found. Easterby, who denied all the charges, claimed the images were not of an indecent nature, a claim Judge Henry later rejected. 'You say you have no sexual attraction to boys. That is a matter of some concern because all the images of the boys linger on the area of genitalia,' he said. 'These boys are victims, filmed for the sexual gratification of you and others. 'It is not a victimless crime.' But with no evidence Easterby had had any sexual contact with the children he was spared jail. Instead he was sentenced to a community order, the 'best way' of punishing him and protecting the public, the judge added. He was given a ten year prevention order restricting his use of the internet and was banned from having contact with boys aged under 16 without their parents or guardians' permission. He was also placed on the sex offenders register for seven years and ordered to attend a sex offender treatment course. Easterby has written several books aimed at teenagers based on the ghosthunting adventures of two adolescent boys. He also taught at Sholing Technology College in Southampton.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety analyzed nearly 1,700 videos that capture the actions of teen drivers in the moments before a crash. It found that distractions were a factor in nearly 60per cent of moderate to severe crashes. That's four times the rate in many previous official estimates that were based on police reports. The study is unusual because researchers rarely have access to crash videos that clearly show what drivers were doing in the seconds before impact as well as what was happening on the road. AAA was able to examine more than 6,842 videos from cameras mounted in vehicles, showing both the driver and the simultaneous view out the windshield. The foundation got the videos from Lytx Inc., which offers programs that use video to coach drivers in improving their behavior and reducing collisions. Crashes or hard-braking events were captured in 1,691 of the videos. They show driver distraction was a factor in 58per cent of crashes, especially accidents in which vehicles ran off the road or had rear-end collisions. The most common forms of distraction were talking or otherwise engaging with passengers and using a cellphone, including talking, texting and reviewing messages.

In one video released by AAA, a teenage boy is seen trying to navigate a turn on a rain-slicked road with one hand on the wheel and a cellphone held to his ear in the other hand.

But sugar can be hidden in lots of other common packaged foods. The World Health Organization finalized guidelines Wednesday saying people should keep intake of added sugars to just five to ten per cent of overall calories, which translates to about 25 to 50 grams of sugar a day for most people. Scroll down for video . Be warned: According to experts, many supermarket soup varieties can contain up to two teaspoons of sugar in just one can . The guidelines don't apply to naturally occurring sugars in fruits, vegetables and milk, since they come with essential nutrients. In the U.S., adults get about 11 to 15 per cent of their calories from sugar; the figure for children tops that at about 16 per cent. By comparison, sugar intakes ranges in Europe from about seven per cent in Hungary to nearly 25 percent in Portugal. But research indicates that many people aren't aware of how much sugar they're eating every day. In fact, that's one reason the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is proposing the first overhaul of nutrition labels in two decades. In addition to highlighting the number of calories per serving in a bigger, bolder font, the new proposed labels would also for the first time list sugars that are added by manufacturers. Healthy? While salad might seem like the healthy option, the dressings used to add flavor to them are often loaded with sugars . In the meantime, though, companies don't currently disclose how much of the sugar listed in the nutrition panels of their products are from added sugars rather than naturally occurring ones. According to health experts, many everyday food products, which some might perceive to be completely healthy, are actually loaded with hidden sugars. Salad dressings, soups, yogurts and cereals have all been named as some of the worst offenders when it comes to sugar content; the popular Deluxe French salad dressing from Wish-Bone, for example, has four grams of sugar per serving - meaning it has around one teaspoon of sugar for every two tablespoons of dressing. Similarly, Progresso's Rich and Hearty Beef Pot Roast contains four grams of sugar per serving which means there are approximately two teaspoons of sugar in every can.

Before the dietary ordinance went into effect in 2008, 63 per cent of residents in the area reported being overweight or obese compared to 57 per cent in other parts of the county. But three years on, instead of the law curbing weight gain, the opposite trend took force. In 2011 75 percent of South Los Angeles residents reported being overweight or obese, while rates elsewhere only increased by one per cent. Obesity rates in South Los Angeles grew by 12per cent despite a much-hailed three-year ban on stand-alone fast-food restaurants, a new study has found . The failed fast food ruling targeted a 32-square-mile area south of Interstate 10 that struggles with high obesity rates and other health problems. The law, believed to be the first effort of its kind by a major city to improve public health, did not ban new eateries in strip malls. The research by the Rand Corp. think tank found that obesity rates in South Los Angeles continued to rise after passage of the law. 'It had no meaningful effect,' Rand senior economist Roland Sturm said. 'There's no evidence that diets have improved more in South Los Angeles. Obesity and overweight rates have not fallen.' Health experts said a single intervention would not reverse the obesity problem. People also have to exercise and make lifestyle changes, they said. Local problem: Before the dietary ordinance went into effect in 2008, 63per cent of residents in the area reported being overweight or obese compared to 57per cent in other parts of the county . 'It's not just about limiting unhealthy food, but increasing access to healthy food,' said Alex Ortega, a professor of public health at the University of California, Los Angeles, who had no role in the study. Rand researchers reviewed permits issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which inspects food outlets. There were no licenses for stand-alone fast-food restaurants, but chains opened 17 new outlets in strip shopping centers and food courts in South Los Angeles from 2008 to 2012. Almost half of the new food permits were for convenience stores that sell soda and junk food, the study found. Researchers also compared obesity rates in South Los Angeles and other parts of the county using surveys that asked residents to report their weight and eating habits. Supporters said the ordinance worked because it prevented chains from opening new restaurants at major intersections with their own drive-thru windows and parking lots. They acknowledged it will take some time to see health gains but noted that the area has seen farmers markets and community gardens in recent years.

The 25-year-old was tipped to become one of the world's best players after breaking through as a teenager with DC United, but has struggled to live up to expectations at a succession of clubs ever decreasing in stature. The former USA international recently spent short-lived spells with Bahia in Brazil and Serbian side Jagodina (plus trials with Blackpool, AZ Alkmaar and Norwegian side Stabaek) and even turned to nightclub promoting before penning a one-year-deal with KuPS.

KuPS finished seventh in the 2014 Veikkausliiga and will be hoping that the American can help them challenge the likes of HJK and SJK in the coming season. The modest club have pulled off a transfer coup by attracting Adu who will join compatriot Stephen McCarthy in the squad. Once labelled as 'the next Pele' during the early stages of his career, the Ghanian-born forward has played just 59 minutes of competitive football since the end of the 2012 MLS season.

Ordinary people undergo road rage-like personality changes when using internet sites like Facebook and Twitter, a leading psychologist has warned. A dangerous combination of people feeling distanced from the person they are abusing and having a vast platform on which to vent anger instantly encourages users to become more aggressive. Just as normally calm drivers sometimes lash out when they get frustrated behind the wheel, so ordinary people can become uncharacteristically angry on social media, said Dr Richard Sherry. The clinical director of Psychological Systems in central London said people using social media were less likely to feel empathy or compassion towards others. He spoke as a new poll found almost nine in ten Britons now admit to having lost their temper more quickly online than in real life. Young people were the least tolerant. Likening the phenomenon to road rage, Dr Sherry said: 'This research shows that, if anything, the online space seems to be robbing us of some of the most fundamental aspects of our humanity. 'When using these sites, people are less likely to feel empathy, patience or compassion towards others; they are significantly quicker to judge and more dangerously reactive in their anger.' The survey questioned 1,000 users of sites including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and Pinterest about whether their personality changes while reading and posting messages. Some 84 per cent admitted they become more easily exasperated and enraged at others online than they ever would in person. Young people are particularly prone to internet road rage, with 26 per cent of the 18 to 24 year olds surveyed saying they are 'always' worked up when using social media, compared with 18 per cent of 35 to 44 year olds and just 11 per cent of those in the over-55 age group. The survey, carried out by OnePoll for 'anti-Facebook' social media site Pencourage, also revealed that many regret losing their temper online. Some 35 per cent said they had posted a reply or comment or Tweeted in anger, only to wish they hadn't later. A similar proportion admitted being tempted to vent their rage but said they manage to control themselves. Dr Sherry said that like motorists, users of social websites feel protected behind their screens. They are also emboldened by the relative anonymity and the distance between them and the person they are being rude to. The survey questioned 1,000 users of sites including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and Pinterest about whether their personality changes while reading and posting messages.

A mother cradling her three-year-old son lay down in front of a train after being told by her psychiatrist 'I can't help you', an inquest has heard. Donna Oettinger, 41, had been denied urgent psychiatric help in the months before she and her son Zaki died on train tracks in south London in March 2013, it was claimed. Just three months before her death, she took an overdose while visiting a friend in Yorkshire and was 'disappointed' to have survived, the inquest was told. A care worker treating the accounts assistant from Croydon in south London then told her family she needed 'urgent' home care on her discharge. Despite being promised this by mental health bosses, Ms Oettinger was then told the home team could not provide psychiatric help, the inquest heard. An inquest into the two deaths at Croydon Coroner's Court today heard her mother Carol Oettinger describe the family's battle to secure the right therapy for her daughter. She told the inquest her daughter went alone to visit friend Frances Felt in Yorkshire to 'work on her anxiety' in December 2012 but took an overdose. A day later she was seen by Paul Willison, a social worker in Rotherham, who recommended that she received 'intensive home therapy'. After agreeing to receive treatment and telling doctors she recognised the consequences of her behaviour, she was then deemed 'not treatable'. In a statement given to the inquest Mr Willison said he contacted health workers in Croydon with his concerns and said: '[They] said there was a home treatment team that covered Donna's locality.' However her mother told the court that on her daughter's return to London, a psychiatric nurse said this was not the case. Mrs Oettinger told the inquest: 'We said Donna had just come out of intensive care, Paul Willison had faxed his concerns through saying she needed urgent treatment. She said 'we didn't do urgent treatment here.' In desperation the family turned to her psychiatrist, Dr Hemanth Rao, but Mrs Oettinger added: 'Donna said she was unhappy to have survived her suicide attempt. 'I said to Dr Rao about Mr Willison's report... she was recommended home treatments, there was nothing in actual fact. Dr Rao said he couldn't help us.'

And he brought his moves. When the Target Center stadium's jumbotron first caught John Sweeney in the audience, he only gave the camera a couple of quick waves. It was a far cry from the beloved Jiggly boy of the 2003-04 season, when Sweeney was known to strip off his jersey and rip off his tank top and get down, with 'WOLVES' scribbled on his stomach and 'KG' for Garnett written on his arm. Scroll down for video . Crowd favorite John Sweeney, 49, brought back Jiggly boy for Kevin Garnett's welcome home game with the Minnesota Timberwolves . Sweeney first created Jiggly boy for the team's 2003-04 season (pictured), but hadn't been seen for 10 years . Sweeney got a text days from the team's game operations a couple of days before Garnett's return that said: 'KG is coming back. What about Jiggly?' The crowd went wild the minute Sweeney appeared on screen during the February 25 game against the Washington Wizards, with many instantly recognizing him despite the years that had passed. And the camera soon panned back to the 49-year-old dad, the announcer asking 'Wait a second, can we go back there?' One of Sweeney's sons tries to grab his dad's arm and pull him up to dance, and the camera held on him - an invitation and a tempt.

A 'black widow' who married a man on his death bed just eight days before he died has been jailed for stealing his granddaughter's inheritance. Judith Brown, 55, wed Roy Mitchell, 66, just over a week before he died after a long illness in 2011, but he changed his will so she would be the main beneficiary and trustee. Of Mr Mitchell's \u00a3180,000 estate, \u00a360,000 was supposed to be divided between his four grandchildren to be spent on their education - but the widow stole \u00a315,000. Brown-Mitchell, as she became known after she married, was Mr Mitchell's carer as he battled bowel cancer in 2011. He changed his will at the end of August that year and the pair, who met in 2006, married days later - but the then terminally ill man's family were not invited and were only told of the marriage by text message. Mr Mitchell's family also had no idea his will had been changed in Mitchell-Brown's favour until he died. After his death on September 10, 2011, Brown-Mitchell, of Haverthwaite, Cumbria, should have handed over \u00a360,000 for the children's education but refused to do so, Preston Crown Court heard. Eventually \u00a345,000 of this was seized after a previous court hearing, but the rest of the inheritance - meant for the eldest granddaughter - was 'squandered', as well as a further \u00a3100,000 spent on 'shopping and entertaining herself'. Judge Howard Bentham criticised Brown-Mitchell for stealing \u00a315,000 from a minor as he jailed her for two years. He said the defence of her actions was 'incredible' and said she had 'wilfully and deliberately' failed in her actions as a trustee. Jeremy Grout-Smith, prosecuting, told the court how Brown-Mitchell, who fostered young offenders before being struck down with multiple sclerosis, had pleaded guilty to the theft of \u00a315,000 between September 2011 and October 2014. He said she had struck up a friendship with Mr Mitchell in 2006 and when he had fallen ill had become his carer. 'Black widow': Brown-Mitchell married Mr Mitchell on his deathbed, with his family only finding out about the wedding by text message . Mr Mitchell, 66, pictured with his daughter Nina, died in 2011 after losing his battle with bowel cancer . Mr Grout-Smith said: 'He didn't want to die in hospital so he moved into her home and at weekends they would go to his caravan on the Holker Estate. He had bought a caravan there because of his love of the Lake District. 'He changed his will on August 31, 2011 and married the defendant in a deathbed marriage on September 2.

Woods, a former world No 1 whose ranking has plummeted to 96th, has played only twice on the 2014-15 PGA Tour and said he would not return until his game was 'tournament-ready'. Woods, the 14-time major winner, has struggled to find any form this year . 'As far as Augusta is concerned ... it's literally a 50-50 chance right now from what I can tell,' Begay, who played with Woods on the Stanford University golf team, told digital network 120 Sports on Wednesday. 'That's far better odds than what it was, say, three weeks ago. Three weeks ago, I would have said there was maybe a 1-in-10 chance of him playing at Augusta.' Woods has not competed since he withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open early last month after 11 holes because of tightness in his back, and is still adapting to the fifth swing change of his career. Woods is currently on an indefinite break from the sport but aims to qualify for the 2016 Ryder Cup . He missed the Masters at Augusta last year for the first time in his career after being advised by doctors to have back surgery and his participation this year is in serious doubt given his struggle for form and fitness this season. The 14-time major champion posted the highest score of his professional career as he carded a mind-boggling 11-over-par 82 to miss the cut at the Phoenix Open in January, and many pundits believe he is suffering from the chipping 'yips'. However, Begay, a television analyst with Golf Channel, believes Woods is now settling into his new swing under the supervision of consultant Chris Como. Tiger Woods struggled for form during the Waste Management Phoenix Open back in January . 'It was good for him to take a step back, to reassess a variety of different things and do things on his timeline,' said Begay, a 42-year-old Native American golfer who won four times on the PGA Tour. 'My suggestion to him was to take as much time as he needed to just figure out this issue with his short game and also to work on or clean up a couple of things that might be a little loose with his golf swing. 'Any transition, any change that you are making mechanically, takes a little time to settle, so that's what he's done.

Staff at Kings Science Academy in Bradford, West Yorkshire, were arrested on suspicion of fraud offences such as abusing their positions and false accounting last year. The school's founder, Sajid Raza, who gave David Cameron a guided tour of the academy after setting it up in 2011, was charged with a range of offences including fraud by false representation last week. Three staff members at Kings Science Academy in Bradford, West Yorkshire, have been charged with fraud offences. Among them is the school's founder Sajid Raza pictured giving David Cameron a tour of the school in 2012 . Today the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed Daud Khan, the school's former director of finance, and Shabana Hussain, a former head of department, would also face charges.

Their arrests came after an investigation by the Education Funding Agency which found that more than \u00a386,000 of funds given to the school had 'not been used for its intended purpose'. Claims included reimbursements for First Class plane tickets, furniture and parties, the report found. 'Having carefully considered all of the evidence presented to us, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence to charge Daud Khan (former director of finance) and Shabana Hussain (former head of department) with a range of offences relating to their involvement with the Kings Science Academy, Bradford, and that it is in the public interest to do so,' Julian Briggs, from CPS Yorkshire and Humberside, said. 'Accordingly, I have today authorised West Yorkshire Police to charge Daud Khan with two offences of fraud by abuse of position and three of false accounting, and Shabana Hussain with one offence of fraud by abuse of position and one offence of acquiring criminal property. An Education Funding Agency investigation claimed the school spent more than \u00a386,000 of taxpayers' money on items that were not 'the intended use' Following Raza's arrest in 2014 the Liberal Democrat MP for Bradford East, David Ward, put pressure on the then Education Secretary Michael Gove to address the fact taxpayers' money had been poured into the allegedly corrupt school.

Spectacular: This towering structure in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, is the work of renowned American Burning Man artist David Best .

The temple, located in Corrody Road Country Park, was organised by Artichoke, a charity which works with artists to create large-scale events, and will be burnt on Saturday March 21 at dusk.

The Right to Buy would be extended to up to 2.5million housing-association tenants, transforming the lives of many. The reform, backed by senior Conservatives including Iain Duncan Smith, Boris Johnson and David Davis, is expected to be included in a \u2018big doorstep offer\u2019 on housing from the Tories. Scroll down for video . The Conservatives are set to include Margaret Thatcher's flagship housing policy in the party manifesto in a bid to woo working-class voters. Pictured, Mrs Thatcher at the Conservative Party Conference in 1989 . The party is also considering plans to force councils to sell large, expensive council homes in order to fund higher numbers of cheaper properties. A Number Ten source said: \u2018The Prime Minister has been a big supporter of Right to Buy, so that more people can own a home of their own. But our manifesto will be announced nearer the election.\u2019 Enabling housing-association tenants to buy their homes would likely require major changes to the 1996 Housing Act, forcing associations to sell properties at discounts set by government. The Coalition has increased Right to Buy discounts, meaning more council homes are already moving to the private sector. Prime Minister David Cameron (pictured left) is a big supporter of Right to Buy, a Downing Street source said, and the reform is backed by senior Conservatives, including the Mayor of London Boris Johnson (right) But housing associations have gradually replaced councils as the main providers of social housing. They are autonomous, not-for-profit bodies that provide low-cost homes using public money and loans from the private sector. Right to Buy, introduced in 1980, led to more than 1.5million council homes being sold at discounted rates. Senior Tories believe a \u2018right to own\u2019 would attract more \u2018C2 voters\u2019 \u2013 the skilled working classes that helped deliver Lady Thatcher\u2019s election victories. It would promote home ownership as well as drastically reducing the housing benefit bill. At the moment, taxpayers subsidise the housing costs of many unemployed and lower paid workers who live in properties provided by housing associations. Current Right to Buy rules let most council tenants buy their homes at a discount. But housing-association tenants have limited discounts and can only buy a property acquired by an association since 1997. Britain's Secretary for Work and Pensions Iain Duncan Smith set up a think-thank in opposition to rules limiting the discounts housing association tenants can receive under the Right to Buy scheme . The Centre for Social Justice, the think-tank set up by Mr Duncan Smith in opposition, has suggested housing-association tenants should be offered discounts of up to 30 per cent of a property\u2019s value. Tory policymakers are said to be keen to ensure money raised from property sales is ploughed into more social housebuilding, which would be spread out rather than concentrated on estates. A criticism of the original scheme was that it undermined the number of social houses available.", "summary": "The reform is expected to be included in a \u2018big doorstep offer\u2019 on housing .

The 33-year-old ex-militant, who comes from the ISIS-held city of Fallujah, spoke of becoming disillusioned with jihad after seeing his commanders turn into bloodthirsty, sex-mad savages. Senior militants are said to take advantage of thousands of young foreign schoolgirls travelling to join the terror group by exploiting a legal loophole allowing them to sign a one-week marriage contract before divorcing them and passing them on another fighter. But for Hamza, who recently managed to escape his ISIS commanders in Iraq, the final straw was his shock at the terror group's unquenchable thirst for brutal executions and his disgust at the militants' treatment of young Yazidi women who are bought, sold and viciously raped as sex slaves.

Horror: A young Iraqi Yazidi girl who narrowly avoided being captured by ISIS and forced in to sex slavery is pictured holding a baby. Hamza said he was invited to rape several such young women by his commanders . Speaking of his time with the terror group, Hamza told The Independent's Patrick Cockburn that he was paid 400,000 Iraqi dinars a month (equivalent to \u00a3231) - but was also rewarded with free food, fuel and access to the internet. Fighters are brainwashed into spending all their spare time attending religious lectures and reading the Koran and ISIS ' jihadi propaganda by offering cash prizes to those with the greatest knowledge at regular competitions. He claimed that after his home city was overrun by militants, he had little choice but to join ISIS, who quickly sent him to a training camp in their de facto Syrian capital Raqqa before forcing him to take a crash course in becoming an ISIS executioner. After being forced to watch countless videos of brutal beheadings, the former militant was ordered to carry out the execution of a number of local Sunni men accused of working with the government. Recognising a number of the men as his former friends, Hamza refused to carry out the atrocity.

For example you're taking a driving lesson and the instructor asks you to take a left turn and you pause, struggling to think of which way is left. If so, you're not on your own \u2013 a significant proportion of our population has difficulty in telling right from left. Many people, even adults, say that they confuse right and left. Dr Gerard Gormley, of Queen's University Belfast, says almost a fifth of college professors and more than a quarter of college students have difficulty quickly identifying right from left . For example, 19.5 per cent of college professors and 26.2 per cent of college students said that they occasionally, frequently or all of the time had difficulty when they had to quickly identify right from left. Discriminating between left and right is a complex neuro-psychological process involving several higher brain functions. These include the ability to integrate touch, sound and sight information, language function and memory. For some it is second nature but for others a considerable challenge. One further problem facing the health profession is that when a doctor or nurse faces a patient, their right-side is on the patient's left-side. So correctly distinguishing right from left in a patient also involves mentally rotating images. Wrong turns to avoidable errors . It's hardly the end of the world if you take the wrong direction on a journey, but there are many situations where confusing right from left can have devastating consequences. Some of the most tragic errors in medicine have been when surgery was performed on the wrong side of a patient: removing the wrong kidney or amputating the wrong leg. While there are systems, checks and balances in place to anticipate and minimise these kinds of mistakes, when they do occur, human error is often at the root of the cause. It's not the end of the world if a person takes the wrong direction on a journey, but doctors confusing right from left have taken out the wrong kidney in the past . Don't ever confuse sides . Error is an inherent characteristic of human behaviour \u2013 sometimes we just get things wrong \u2013 but left-right ones may be more than a one-off accident. Evidence would suggest that right-left confusion is more common in women. The literature would appear to suggest that men demonstrate a greater degree of visuo-spatial function, the ability to visualise objects and spaces, which allows people to do things such as navigate around a city. The 'distraction effect' Distinguishing right from left also never occurs in isolation. Hospitals and other health settings are busy and complex places to work in. Doctors are often subject to distractions while working; receiving telephone calls, cardiac monitors bleeping, taking questions from colleagues, patients and their relatives \u2013 the clinical environment can be very challenging.

As a result the posters, which have been described as pornographic, have been removed from stores in Milton Keynes, Wimbledon, Sutton, Norwich, Eastbourne, Taunton, and the Ann Summers stores in all 18 Intu Chapelfield shopping centres. A spokesman for Ann Summers confirmed the company has had six complaints from its retail stores and fewer than 20 complaints via email or letters. Miss Pattison said the campaign potentially breached the recommendations made by the 2011 Bailey Review into the sexualisation of children, which was backed by Prime Minister David Cameron. The high street lingerie chain confirmed several branches, located near stores targeted at children such as Mothercare and Build-A-Bear, have removed the provocative images . The posters show a woman kneeling on a red sofa, dressed in a cut-away leotard, with a man in handcuffs . She said: 'We are used to seeing the windows of Ann Summers featuring lingerie but this image, featuring a bare breasted (except for nipple tassels) model goes too far and is inappropriate for display in places which are likely to have numbers of children present. 'Any child passing this image will be subject to its overt sexual messaging and imagery. Government guidelines for retailers in the Bailey Review state that sexualised images should not be displayed in children's eye line. 'This government has done much to address the early sexualisation of children in our society and Ann Summers needs to be made aware that it too has a responsibility in this regard.' Miss Pattison's concerns were echoed by members of the public, including Christian pastor Paul Burns, who said he was shocked to see the display on his way to church. He said: 'I watched four separate families pull their children away from this window display.

Savers are being hit with the worst interest rates in history with a third of Isa accounts now paying less than 1 per cent a year. The number of customers trapped in poor-paying Isas has doubled in the last two years as interest rates on them plummet to new lows. One in six accounts offer less than the Bank of England\u2019s base rate at just 0.5 per cent, while some savers are stuck on rates of 0.1 per cent. The proportion of these tax-free accounts returning below 1 per cent has doubled in the last two years, from one in six to one in three. It means that on the current worst Isa rate of 0.1 per cent, someone depositing \u00a315,000 would make a paltry \u00a315 a year in interest. In contrast, a saver on the most competitive rate of 1.5 per cent would make \u00a3225 \u2013 a difference of \u00a3210 a year. With four weeks left to use this year\u2019s \u00a315,000 Isa allowance, many savers will question the value of such accounts. The Building Societies Association said there was not \u2018one single factor\u2019 driving down Isa rates but said the \u2018persistently low base rate\u2019 had contributed to lower returns. A spokesman added: \u2018I don\u2019t think there is a hard correlation between Isa rates and mortgage rates.

The scheme meant that banks were no longer dependent on savers\u2019 money \u2013 reducing the need to offer competitive rates, it is claimed. Anna Bowes, of independent savings website Savings Champion, said: \u2018After six years of the base rate at 0.5 per cent, this is toughest time on record for savers, and Isa savers have certainly not been immune to the pain. \u2018Isas were once seen as the go-to savings product due to their tax-free status. \u2018But with rates at an all-time low, some savers \u2013 especially those looking to build up a short-term lump sum for perhaps a house deposit or a car \u2013 may need to be more creative. \u2018High-interest savings accounts offer rates of up to 5 per cent before tax, so even a taxpayer could find that this route could earn them more interest.\u2019 But Rachel Springall, of the website Moneyfacts, warned: \u2018Despite the gloomy outlook on savings rates, consumers need to use their tax-free allowance or lose it. \u2018While there might be an abundance of taxable savings accounts out there, it is always worthwhile to track down an Isa equivalent and use the yearly tax-free allowance.\u2019 Savers have lost out on \u00a34.7billion in the last three years due", "summary": "Figures show savers are being hit with the worst interest rates in history .

The former Labour deputy prime minister claimed it was unsurprising that young Muslims were turning to extremism when they switch on the television to see 'more rockets being fired' in the Middle East. The comments were made at a fundraising event in Gainsborough on February 19 for Lord Prescott's son David. They come amid an increasing anxiety about the number of young students fleeing to the Middle East to fight for ISIS. The 76-year-old said: 'I was with Tony Blair on Iraq. We were wrong.

The Bedford County Sheriff's Office said Monday that additional leads prompted another dig on Taylor's Mountain in Bedford County, but officials didn't provide details. The operation is expected to take several days. An earlier dig was conducted on the mountain in January. The sheriff's Office, the Virginia State Police and the Montgomery Police Department in Maryland are conducting the search for the remains of ten-year-old Katherine Lyon and 12-year-old Sheila Lyon. 12-year-old Sheila Lyon (left) and ten-year-old Katharine Lyon (right) went missing on March 25, 1975, after walking to get some pizza at the Wheaton Plaza Shopping Center in Maryland and to look at the Easter decorations . The Lyon sisters never came home after walking to the mall together in 1975. A massive search turned up nothing . The girls went missing on March 25, 1975, after walking to get some pizza at the Wheaton Plaza Shopping Center in Maryland and to look at the Easter decorations. The Lyon sisters never came home, and a massive search turned up nothing. Parents John and Mary Lyon have never been able to find out what happened to their daughters. Over four decades, police have pursued numerous leads and periodically identified potential suspects. But they never charged anyone. Authorities have, however, named Richard Allen Welch Sr. and his nephew, Lloyd Lee Welch, as persons of interest in the case. Neither man has been charged. In February it was revealed that Lloyd Lee Welch, a sex offender, told investigators that he left a Maryland shopping mall with two young sisters who disappeared in 1975 and later saw his uncle sexually assaulting one of the girls, according to police affidavits. The Washington Post reported that Montgomery County police, citing the ongoing investigation, declined to comment on the affidavits or how credible they find 58-year-old Lloyd Welch's recent statements. A week after the girls vanished the then-18-year-old Welch went to Wheaton Plaza (pictured, 1975) and told a security guard that he had seen the sisters leave with a man in a car . Though volunteers searched for the sisters, they came up with nothing. Detectives never found evidence of what happened to Katherine and Sheila or who was responsible . 'Our department and our partners in Virginia remain committed to determining what happened to Katherine and Sheila Lyon,' Montgomery Police Chief Tom Manger said in February. 'We believe that there are people, including family members of Dick and Lloyd Welch, who have information that would further this investigation.' Richard Welch's wife, Patricia, was charged with perjury after testifying before the grand jury in December. The affidavits released in February did not say whether any incriminating evidence has been found on Taylor's Mountain in Virginia.

Perhaps breaking such a bond required a greater explanation, hence the story on the club\u2019s website last summer that was really quite damning and unique in its detail. The post read: \u2018Despite glowing starts to each campaign, Cesc\u2019s contributions to the cause gradually decreased as each season drew to a close. \u2018From being someone who joined in with the attack, supplying and scoring goals, the magic tended to fade later on in each season. He only scored one, six and one goals in the last 24 games of each season. Cesc Fabregas (left) has a history of going quiet during the second half of the season in terms of goals . \u2018For some reason, he was never as good in the second half of a season as in the first.\u2019 To apply some context, such statements usually run to a confirmation that a player has left. If a club is feeling particularly venomous, it might omit the part where a player is thanked for his contribution. Maybe the close relationship with Fabregas, the prodigal son who returned and then left for again, meant they felt compelled to explain the step of letting him join Chelsea for \u00a330million. The talented playmaker had a blistering start to the season and has racked up 15 assists despite his slump . But whatever the motive, there was a deep and intriguing point in the message. Barcelona had spotted a real trend and the rational among Chelsea\u2019s fans are probably starting to see it. That\u2019s not to overreact and criticise a player who has arguably had the greatest impact on Chelsea\u2019s title push.

A subjective view, certainly, but the numbers are showing the return of a curious pattern. He has neither scored nor assisted in his past nine games in all competitions, seven of which were starts. His last assist was against Swansea on January 17. His previous longest run without a goal or assist this season was two. The former Barcelona man suffered the fate at Barcelona during his time there before he was sold to Chelsea . That is not to say he is playing badly in this spell. Far from it. He was poor when he came on against Bradford in the FA Cup and was off the pace in the league game against Burnley, but generally has been among Chelsea\u2019s best performers.

New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves has provided the first hint that Pietersen could resume a career which reached an apparently irrevocable full stop when he was sacked 13 months ago. Pietersen was in optimistic mood again on Monday that an unlikely reconciliation could be achieved, tweeting: 'Incredibly humbling how supportive you've all been since the news broke yesterday from Mr Colin Graves. Gonna try work this out for sure!' Kevin Pietersen has made no secret of his desire to return to the England setup but it seems unlikey . Indications in the 24 hours since Graves' BBC interview appear to have been less encouraging for the exiled 34-year-old batsman. The ECB issued a statement on Sunday, insisting 'nothing has changed' in his status and adding 'only players who are playing consistent high-quality county cricket and who are seen as a positive influence will be selected for England'. But BBC pundit Boycott has called for face-to-face discussions in which the governing body is 'fair' to Pietersen and does not 'lead him on' without a true intention to recall him as long as he plays well. He also suggested that, if key personalities such as ECB managing director Paul Downton and national selector James Whitaker disagree with Graves, they should leave their jobs. Graves stressed the pre-requisite of any conceivable progress must be a return to county cricket, something Pietersen's summer Twenty20 contracts in the Indian and Caribbean premier leagues will hardly help. New ECB chairman Colin Graves suggested over the weekend the door could still be open for Pietersen . His involvement in English domestic cricket for Surrey last summer was fleeting - exclusively in the NatWest t20 Blast - following his sacking by England. Downton has spoken on several occasions since then of the record-breaking batsman's apparent 'disengagement' with his team-mates while England were losing the final 2013/14 Ashes Test in Sydney by 281 runs. Surrey de-registered Pietersen at the end of last season, and are not publicly inclined to reopen negotiations. Boycott has identified clear communication between Pietersen and Graves as the starting point to ensure no new stumbling blocks are created. He told the BBC: 'It says to me that Kevin needs to get a meeting with Colin Graves as soon as he can - and, preferably, with Paul Downton and James Whitaker there after he has spoken to the chairman - because he wants to be clear. New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves wants Pietersen (right) to play county cricket . 'It's all right the chairman saying he has to play county cricket.

Amer, 20, left the family home in Saltdean, near Brighton, in October 2013 and joined the Al Nusra Front, and two months later his brothers joined him in Syria. In April last year, 18-year-old Abdullah was killed in a battle which also left Amer injured, and in October Jaffar died while fighting against Assad's troops in December. Despite his brothers' deaths, Amer is determined to remain in the Middle East, and has ignored his family's demands for him to return to Britain. Mrs Abulsayen said her sons were influenced by radical videos which they watched online, and insisted that she and her husband Abubaker were opposed to extremism. 'My sons went to serve, to sacrifice, and now two of them are dead,' she said. 'They were victims. They felt England was a part of their lives, but everybody has a secret life. 'We have our religion, but there is lots of brainwashing on YouTube, in the mosques, through friends. 'My sons are Muslim, and they believe everyone should be free as part of humanity.

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. The say a steady dusting of carbon from passing comets has slowly painted Mercury with a dark 'stealth' coating over billions of years. 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. Using a model of impact delivery and a known estimate of micrometeorite flux at Mercury, researchers calculated suggest that after billions of years of bombardment, Mercury's surface should be anywhere from 3 to 6 percent carbon. 'It's long been hypothesized that there's a mystery darkening agent that's contributing to Mercury's low reflectance,' said Megan Bruck Syal, a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who performed this research while a graduate student at Brown University. 'One thing that hadn't been considered was that Mercury gets dumped on by a lot of material derived from comets.' 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. Using a model of impact delivery and a known estimate of micrometeorite flux at Mercury, Bruck Syal was able to estimate how often cometary material would impact Mercury, how much carbon would stick to Mercury's surface, and how much would be thrown back into space. Her calculations suggest that after billions of years of bombardment, Mercury's surface should be anywhere from 3 to 6 percent carbon. The next part of the work was to find out how much darkening could be expected from all that impacting carbon. For that, the researchers turned to the NASA Ames Vertical Gun Range. The 14-foot canon simulates celestial impacts by firing projectiles at up to 16,000 miles per hour. Experiments show that impact material is significantly darkened when impacts occur in the presence of complex organics - shown here on the right . For this study, the team launched projectiles in the presence of sugar, a complex organic compound that mimics the organics in comet material. The heat of an impact burns the sugar up, releasing carbon. Projectiles were fired into a material that mimics lunar basalt, the rock that makes up the dark patches on the nearside of the Moon. 'We used the lunar basalt model because we wanted to start with something dark already and see if we could darken it", "summary": "Dusting of carbon from passing comets has made Mercury darker .

The mayor was scheduled to be at the Rockaways parade when it started at 1 pm Saturday but ended up joining the marchers about a half-hour later and walking just half of the route. He said an education meeting at Gracie Mansion 'took a while' and he'd taken a police boat to arrive as soon as possible in the Queens neighborhood at the edge of New York's five boroughs. With: New York Mayor Bill de Blasio arrived thirty minutes late for a St Patrick's Day parade in eastern Queens and was heckled by participants . Without: Members of the mayor's marching party carried his banner without him after the march began shortly after it was scheduled . Some paradegoers, who started the march after waiting ten minutes past 1, called de Blasio's tardiness disrespectful. While some cheered the mayor's arrival, dozens jeered when he joined the march and shouted complaints about unrepaired homes damaged in Superstorm Sandy and last year's cancellation of the neighborhood's ferry service to city centers Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Tricia McGee told Newsday that DeBlasio should have 'spring ahead an hour and a half' for Sunday morning's daylight savings time clock switch. 'Welcome to New York City. You know, people of our city have strong views on everything, and certainly that's true of the Rockaways as well,' the mayor said. Taunted: De Blasio was only able to walk about half of the parade route after his arrival. 'Welcome to New York City,' he said of the hecklers response to his lateness . The mayor's lateness was a sore spot in November, when he arrived about six minutes after a moment of silence commemorating victims of the 2001 American Airlines Flight 587 crash. It also was in the Rockaways. He said that fog delayed his police boat that day and that he'd had a 'rough night' of sleep. New York's largest St Patrick's Day parade, which goes down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, will not see De Blasio's attendance this year. He has said he is not planning to attend the March 17 event because the march does not allow enough members of the gay community to participate.

On April 6, over-55s will be allowed to cash in all or part of their pension, rather than being forced to buy a guaranteed monthly income for life. The Treasury has pledged to offer appointments to help them decide what to do with their money. Next month over-55s will be allowed to cash in all or part of their pension - but experts are predicting chaos when the changes come in as the Treasury advice service is not yet up and running . However, the Financial Conduct Authority is warning that up to 40 per cent of savers who cash in their pensions will be 'irreversibly worse off'. And in some cases they even say people who cash in will be left destitute as they enter old age. Christopher Woolard, director of strategy and competition at the FCA, told the Telegraph: 'In many cases it may not be in the member's best interests. 'We need to ensure that those who are considering it are fully aware of the potential benefits they are giving up.'

Vincent Tabak was jailed in 2011 after strangling Miss Yeates and dumping her body in the snow on the outskirts of Bristol. Police seized his laptop as part of the investigation into her death and found 145 indecent images of children stored on it. Before admitting to possessing the child pornography, Tabak, 37, protested he would not receive a fair trial because his previous crime was so high profile. Guilty plea: Joanna Yeates's killer Vincent Tabak had admitted four counts of posessing child pornography after images were found on a laptop. He was jailed in 2011 after strangling the 25-year-old and dumping her body in snow . A judge rejected his argument, jailing him for 10 months at Bristol Crown Court, where he was found guilt of murder four years ago. The court heard how the paedophile had stored more than 100 images of children on the computer, with the youngest among them of younger than 10. Flanked by security guards, he held his head in his hands in the dock as the court heard how he had a 'perverse interest in child pornography.' In 2011, at the same court house, Tabak was convicted of killing 25-year-old Joanna Yeates after becoming obsessed with her. The 25-year-old's body was found covered in snow on the outskirts of Bristol . The pair were neighbours, with Miss Yeates living in the groundfloor flat next door to his where, jurors were told, he had watched violent pornography. After spurning his advances Miss Yeates was killed and dumped by the side of the road in Failand on the outskirts of the city. The jury heard how in the months before Jo\u2019s death Tabak had viewed violent porn websites showing women being controlled by men, with images of them bound, gagged and held by the neck and choked. Others showed a woman who looked chillingly like his victim. Miss Yeates's frozen body - which had suffered 43 separate injuries - was found in a similar position to a woman in one pornographic film. In 2013, the Crown Prosecution Service announced they would pursue charges relating to child pornography. His guilty plea today came after a failed attempt by his legal team to have the case thrown out. They claimed he would not face a fair trial in and that he would not be given an additional prison sentence. Dean Armstrong QC, on behalf of Tabak, argued his portrayal in the ITV drama The Lost Honour Of Christopher Jefferies, who was wrongly accused of Miss Yeates's murder, would prevent fairness. Judge Neil Ford QC rejected the argument after telling the court it was not his position to comment on the CPS decision to prosecute. He also discounted the argument that putting Tabak on the Sex Offenders' Register would be pointless as it would have lapsed by the time of his release.

England\u2019s scrum-half had tormented France during the gloriously, bewilderingly compelling match which provided a pulsating finale to Super Saturday. But a fourth successive year as runners-up left the national team shattered, with their gallant role in epic sporting drama serving as meagre consolation. England fell just six points short of being crowned Six Nations champions . A 55-35 victory over France was not enough for England to overhaul Ireland at the top of the standings . And though Youngs had been the catalyst for a daring charge towards the unlikely target of a 26-point winning margin with his two tries, countless line-breaks and dashing creativity, collective disappointment eclipsed any personal pride. As participants and observers alike tried to make sense of a 90-point, 12-try edition of \u2018Le Crunch\u2019 which often defied logic, the devastated man of the match pinpointed why there were no medals around English necks. \u2018I don\u2019t think the Six Nations title was lost today, it was lost last week, when we missed too many chances,\u2019 he said, in reference to the 25-13 victory over Scotland seven days earlier. \u2018We should have been way ahead on points difference going into this game.\u2019 Ben Youngs believes England lost the Six Nations title last week when they only beat Scotland 25-13 .

If Stuart Lancaster\u2019s men had merely needed to win, they would not have scorched the earth as they did time and again in front of a fervent crowd, but it is highly likely they would have secured their prize. Instead, they ran amok to amass a record total against their cross-Channel rivals, only to be left six points short and inches from glory as a rolling maul at the end threatened to bring the house down until referee Nigel Owens penalised the hosts to signal the dying of the light.

Karla Kirby with two of her own children, Jordan and Joshua, and some of the children she ahs given birth to as a surrogate mother . In an interview with The Mirror, Karla said she decided to become a surrogate as she loved motherhood and was keen to help other people have a family of their own. With two children of her own, and in her late teens, she overheard a conversation where people were discussing surrogacy and decided to contact the organisation Childlessness Overcome Through Surrogacy (COTS) to find out more. After a counselling session to make sure she was ready, she opted to be a 'straight surrogate' using her own eggs and the intended father's sperm which she artificially inseminated herself. Karla chose to help a couple where the wife was infertile, and became pregnant after the eighth attempt, with her first surrogate child, Ethan, in 2001. She said seeing the emotion on the new parents' faces when she handed over the baby helped her realise she had made the right decision and 18 months later, became a surrogate again, going on to give birth to Nia in 2002 and Carey in 2003.

The former Celtic, Barcelona and Manchester United striker, who started and ended his career at Helsingborg, was speaking at a media day to launch the 2015 Allsvenskan season, with his side kicking off at Kalmar on April 4. Appointed by Helsingborg last November, Golden Boot winner Larsson took over at a club that, although known as a powerhouse in Swedish football, found itself struggling financially. Former Celtic and Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson now manages at his former club side Helsingborg . To arrest the alarming economic slide, Larsson decided the fat wage packets paid by the club would be a thing of the past. With Helsingborg's blessing, he introduced a salary cap reported to be a modest 40,000 Swedish crowns ($4,700) a month -- about half the average wage in the Swedish top flight. 'I won't comment on the sums, but I will say that it's not the wages that Helsingborg used to pay in the past,' Larsson told Reuters. The former Sweden international gets emotional during his last playing appearance for Helsingborg in 2009 . 'I don't mind players earning money, but it should mean at the same time that the club is doing good. 'If the club is doing good, the club is getting income, then the club can share it with the players. But when the situation is not going according to plan, you have to look at the financial bit and see what you can change.' Larsson learned his trade with Helsingborg before traveling the well-worn path taken by Swedish players to the Dutch league, joining Feyenoord before moving to Celtic and winning global recognition, and no shortage of riches, for his scoring feats. Larsson won four Scottish league titles with Celtic and two La Liga titles at Barcelona plus the 2006 Champions League.

'I think that the average wage in Sweden is too high. They won't be financially independent from the money they earn here (Helsingborg). 'They earn good money, but I think there has to be the desire to develop, to go on to a bigger league and earn your money there.' Helsingborg's wage cap might have restricted his options a little but Larsson said the chance to work with one of Europe's great finishers - himself - may have helped attract players.

'Australians are being kept in the dark about where their seafood comes from, the type of fish they are eating, and how it reached their plate.'

Three-hundreds Chinese villagers have signed a petition demanding the return of a 1,000-year-old relic containing a mummified monk. They believe that the Buddha statue on display in Holland is the same that was stolen from Spring Village, Fujian, in 1995, the People's Daily Online reports. Now they are calling on Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, to hand back their 'ancestral patriarch', Buddhist Zhanggong Liuquan. The letter states: 'In our hearts he is not a cultural display item to be placed in a museum but a living Buddha that is respected and revered by us all. 'This is a tradition that is deeply important to our way of life. He has looked over us for over 1000 years and is a testament to our historical and cultural heritage.' Locals say Zhanggong Liuquan did many good things for villagers such as curing illnesses free of charge. When he died, people made his body a statue before the body rotted, and then they placed the body in the memorial hall of the village ever since. The Buddhist has become a spiritual sustenance for locals. The statue was first displayed in Drents Museum in the Netherlands in 2014, causing the Cultural Relics Bureau to launch an investigation. Scroll down for video . They found photographs and historical records that supported the claim that it in fact belonged to a temple in the village. A Buddha statue (left) containing a mummified monk (right) was actually stolen from a village temple twenty years ago, Chinese experts believe . The private owner, who wants to stay anonymous, bought the relic in 1996 at a European market. The mummified remains were discovered at the end of February after he took the statue to the museum in the Netherlands to be restored. According to various Chinese media, the Dutch collector said he is willing to return the Buddha statue if it is proved to be the one stolen from Fujian. The mummified remains were discovered at the end of February after a private owner took the statue to Drents Museum at the Meander Medical Centre in the Netherlands for restoration.

A Chicago woman has been charged in the killing of her 7-month-old granddaughter, who had her throat cut with a power saw after being suffocated with a sock and beaten to death. Police have said the baby girl, Rose Herrera, was killed Monday, apparently because she would not stop crying. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Tuesday that the baby's 52-year-old grandmother, Manuela Rodriguez, was charged with first-degree murder in baby Rose's death. An autopsy concluded that the baby was already dead when her throat was slashed. It also found that not only was the girl struck in the head with an object, but that she also likely suffocated on a sock that was \u2018placed in her mouth,\u2019 according to a county medical examiner's log that includes the infant's death. Rodriguez, who police say attempted to take her own life after the attack, was taken to a hospital for treatment for injuries that were not considered life threatening. The State's Attorney's Office said Rodriguez is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday. Police were called at around 9.40am to a multi-family home in the 2800 block of South Avers Avenue in the Little Village section of Chicago, where they discovered the lifeless body of the infant with 'visible trauma.'

Following the killing, Manuela Rodriguez reportedly attempted to take her own life. She was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital in a stable condition. Residents of the quiet street in the predominantly Hispanic Little Village neighborhood where Rose was killed said the Rodriguez had some health problems but was always pleasant. Officers found the child, identified by family members as Rosie, after being called Monday morning to a building on the city's West Side (pictured) State child welfare officials said they had no record of ever being called to the brick home.

+{"article": "Ever wondered why we go grey or most men's beards have a reddish, ginger tinge? Or why a young child's golden locks often disappear before the age of 10? Here, one leading expert, Rodney Sinclair, Professor of Dermatology at the Epworth Hospital and University of Melbourne, explains the science of hair colour - and why some of us are cursed with more greys than others... What determines the colour of hair? Hair colour is produced by cells known as melanocytes, which migrate into the hair bulb as the hair follicles develop in utero. The melanocytes produce pigment that is incorporated into the growing hair fibres to produce hair in a bewildering array of natural shades. Hair colour depends on the presence and ratios of two groups of melanins: eumelanins (brown and black pigments) and pheomelanins (red and yellow pigments). While variations in the ratio of these pigments can produce an large number of colours and tones, siblings often have strikingly similar hair colour. The Duchess of Cambridge battles with grey hair, as these pictures reveal. Genetic factors appear to be important in determining when we turn grey, rather than lifestyle, says Professor Sinclair . Most of us find our first 'greys' by the time we turn 30, usually at the temples, then later, across the scalp . How hair colour varies according to body site . For example, eyelashes are the darkest because they contain high levels of eumalanin. Scalp hair is usually lighter than pubic hair, which often has a red tinge, due to the presence of more phaeomelanin pigments. A red tinge is also common in underarm and beard hair, even in people with essentially brown hair on their scalp. Hormones such as melanocyte-stimulating hormone can darken light hair, as can high levels of oestrogen and progesterone, which are produced in pregnancy. Certain drugs, such as those to prevent malaria can lighten hair, while some epilepsy medications can darken it. Why do blonde children often go dark? Blond children tend to see their hair darken around the age or seven or eight. The mechanism for this is unknown and probably not related to hormones, as the darkening precedes puberty by a number of years. New parents often find the first coat of their baby's hair is darker than expected. It is not until this first hair is shed and replaced, at around eight to 12 months of age, that you get a clear indication of their hair colour. Blond children tend to see their hair darken around the age or seven or eight.The mechanism for this is unknown and probably not related to hormones, as the darkening precedes puberty by a number of years, says Professor Sinclair . How much does hair grow? Human hair growth is cyclical. During the anagen phase, hair grows continuously at a rate of 1cm per month. Anagen can last three to five years on the scalp and produce hair that grows to between 36 to 60cm in length. At the end of the anagen phase, the follicle turns off, hair growth stops and remains", "summary": "Rodney Sinclair is a Professor of Dermatology at University of Melbourne . Claims that by age 50, half of us have lost colour in 50 per cent of our hair . Premature greying may be a sign of anaemia a thyroid condition, he says .

Michelle Hughes was told to carry her Army uniform in a bag when travelling to and from school after fears of a Woolwich copycat attack on soldiers. But the proud 17-year-old cadet ignored advice, insisting she had not been brought up to be \u2018scared of anything\u2019. Her show of courage comes after children in cadet forces across the country were warned in December not to wear their uniform outside school. Pupils were also told to carry out searches of training areas, ranges and accommodation before setting up camp while on trips. Individual units were told to ensure with \u2018immediate effect\u2019 that \u2018appropriate security measures\u2019 were put into place in all detachments.

Andrew Halls, headmaster of King\u2019s College School in Wimbledon, south west London, wrote to the parents of pupils who belong to its CCF, to advise that concerned pupils should carry their uniforms in a bag when travelling to school. Miss Hughes, a single mother, wrote back to say her daughter would not bow to the threat. Michelle, who has 12 A* GCSEs and has represented England at athletics, told the Sunday Times: \u2018I saw the email from the headmaster and so did my mum, but I was going to wear the CCF uniform anyway. \u2018I don\u2019t really feel at risk. My mum wrote back to the school saying she had not brought us up to be scared of anything.\u2019 Some schools have been strict with guidance and have told pupils they must not wear their uniform in public (file picture) Her mother, from Essex, added: \u2018It is a wonderful privilege to be alive and to live in a country like Britain. \u2018Nothing is risk free, but on the whole this country is safe.

Unfortunately for arguably Liverpool\u2019s greatest-ever player, he proved on Sunday that Brendan Rodgers has made the correct decision to cut him loose from Anfield at the end of this season. I\u2019d be surprised if Gerrard makes the Liverpool starting line-up again, and any substitute appearances will surely only be to give the fans a wave goodbye. Why should Rodgers trust Gerrard again this season? Steven Gerrard looks dejected after seeing red just 38 seconds after coming on for Liverpool at Anfield . Gerrard stamped on Ander Herrera's right leg shortly after coming on at the start of the second half . Herrera gestures and points at Gerrard as the Liverpool midfielder reacts following the challenge . This is an experienced professional, a captain, a legend and there is nothing anyone can say that should mask the truth that he absolutely let everyone at Liverpool Football Club down. He also failed to apologise to Ander Herrera in his brief post-match interview, which showed a lack of class. Some said Gerrard was frustrated because he wasn\u2019t in the starting line-up. That might be true, but it doesn\u2019t excuse a violent stamp on an opponent\u2019s ankle. Others have said he was desperate to get involved and show his passion. After all his years in the game, with all his knowledge of this fixture, he must surely know there is only one way to show passion and commitment on such a huge occasion \u2013 and that\u2019s to make good, clean tackles, play well and get the job done. This was Liverpool\u2019s biggest game of the season, against fierce rivals, it\u2019s a game they\u2019re losing when he comes on the pitch and it\u2019s a game they need to win.

Gerrard walks off the Anfield pitch in what was his last appearance against Man United in a Liverpool shirt . If Wayne Rooney had done it, the reaction would be far worse.

Had it been a Chelsea player \u2013 well, the internet and the FA would have been in meltdown. There would have been talk of points deductions probably.

+{"article": "Not again. Not now. As news of Daniel Sturridge\u2019s latest injury setback emerged, those four words will have swirled around Brendan Rodgers\u2019 mind. Liverpool\u2019s manager has become accustomed to picking teams that do not contain Sturridge \u2014 he went from August 31 to January 31 without him, remember \u2014 but, as the campaign reaches its defining moment, this is not something he will relish. It was bad enough to lose his captain Steven Gerrard to a three-match suspension last Sunday, and the FA\u2019s decision to give Martin Skrtel, Liverpool\u2019s best defender, the same ban for stamping on David de Gea exacerbated the problem. Daniel Sturridge will be out of action for around a month after picking up a hip injury . The new setback is another blow in a season that has been ruined by injury for the Liverpool striker . Sturridge injured his thigh on England duty last September and didn't play for Liverpool again in 2014 . Premier League goals for Sturridge since his debut in Jan 2013 \u2014 from that date until he left for Barca last summer, former strike partner Luis Suarez scored 41 . Immediately after the international break is over, no team in the Barclays Premier League has more at stake than Liverpool, who have a lunchtime trip to Arsenal next Saturday followed by an FA Cup quarter-final replay at Blackburn four days later. Gerrard and Skrtel would have had big contributions to make to those fixtures and, without them, there is absolutely no doubt Liverpool\u2019s chances of success have been compromised. Taking Sturridge away has an even greater impact. Lose at the Emirates Stadium and Ewood Park and the campaign that Liverpool have fought hard to resurrect since Rodgers changed his system to 3-4-3 will effectively be over. That is what is on the line. That is why Rodgers needs Sturridge fit. At this point, it should be noted Sturridge has not set the world alight since he returned as a substitute against West Ham at the end of January. There have been some flashes of star quality but, in a lot of games, his performances could kindly be described as \u2018enigmatic\u2019. The thing with Sturridge, however, is that he scores. \u2018He is an absolute nightmare for a defender when he is on it,\u2019 Gerrard once observed. Even when he is playing poorly \u2014 like last Sunday against Manchester United \u2014 you cannot discount him for a moment.

Sturridge scores for Liverpool in their FA Cup fifth round victory at Crystal Palace . Steven Gerrard was hit with a three-match ban after he was sent off against Manchester United . Note the words \u2018can become\u2019: something is holding Sturridge back from fulfilling his potential. Can his body stand up to the rigours of football at the highest level?

With Paris Saint-Germain dumping Chelsea out last week and Monaco resisting Arsenal's spirited fightback on Tuesday night, we face the prospect of having no Premier League representatives in the quarter-finals. The English charge on the continent halted by mid-March? It never used to be like this, you know. Arsenal's Santi Cazorla is commiserated as Monaco celebrate knocking out the English side on Tuesday . Dejected Chelsea players walk off the field at Stamford Bridge after their Champions League exit to PSG . Joe Hart roars his frustration during Manchester City's first-leg defeat to Barcelona at the Etihad . This graphic showing the English clubs that have reached the Champions League quarter-finals since 2004 . You don't have to flick too far back through the record books to find a time when England ruled in Europe's foremost club competition. The last halcyon days were the three seasons from 2006-07 until the end of 2008-09, when the Premier League supplied 11 of the 24 quarter-finalists. Going back to Liverpool's miraculous triumph in Istanbul in 2005, England has provided eight of the 20 finalists. In the 2006-07 season, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all made it to the semi-finals. They all repeated the feat 12 months later, with United beating Chelsea on penalties in the Moscow final. In 2008-09, United knocked out Arsenal in the last four, while Barcelona squeezed past Chelsea. Since then, it's been an overall trend of decline. While United were runners-up again in 2011 and Chelsea lifted the trophy in 2012, as well as reaching the semi-finals last season, the English dominance seen during that golden three-year period hasn't been replicated. Chelsea and Manchester United contested the 2008 Champions League final in a golden period for England . Man United met Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals in the 2008-09 campaign . Chelsea and Liverpool met in the 2008 Champions League semi-finals, with the London club advancing . The mantle has been passed to Spain, who will expect to see Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the last four unless paired in the next round. So while the Premier League continues to grow ever-richer, with the astonishing \u00a35.1bn television deal signed earlier this year ensuring record returns for years to come, money doesn't necessarily guarantee success across the board in Europe. Though Chelsea reached the last four a year ago, United exited at the quarter-final stage, while City and Arsenal departed in the last 16. The season 2012-13 was even worse, with United and Arsenal crashing out in the last 16 and Chelsea and City failing to get out of their groups. There isn't one single reason to explain this slump in Premier League performance, but a growing school of thought is that the lack of a winter break is beginning to hold our teams back.

However, Ms Lees \u2013 a chartered surveyor for Barnsley Council - was unable to cope with the animal's death and took her own life just hours after the horse was put down. Ms Lees, who was single and had no children, had been unable to ride Jake for more than a year due to his ill health and had struggled to cope as she watched the animal deteriorate. At an inquest into her death in Sheffield today, her friend Jane Taylor told of her utter shock at finding her on Remembrance Day last November.

Naseer Chawki, who claims to be 34 and from Iran, was detained for more than four years while Home Office officials fought for deportation, after he was convicted of sexually abusing two women on a rush-hour Piccadilly Line train. But he has now won a High Court battle against Home Secretary Theresa May, after a judge ruled that he had been illegally held for seven months - against his human rights - during that process. Naseer Chawki, who sexually assaulted two women on a rush-hour Tube, could be awarded \u00a37,000 after the High Court (pictured) ruled he was unlawfully held for ten months while officials tried to deport him . Deputy High Court Judge Stephen Morris said Chawki's payout is yet to be assessed, giving no indication of what the figure would be. But according to human rights lawyers, the payout given to Chawki could be between \u00a35,000 and \u00a310,000. In 2013, a Supreme Court judgment set a precedent that those detained illegally should receive around \u00a31,000 for each month they are held against their human rights. It means Chawki can expect to receive around \u00a37,000. During today's hearing in London, the court heard how Chawki - who has failed in a bid to claim asylum - arrived in Cardiff from Iran in 1999 before moving to Liverpool. He then moved to Seven Sisters, north London. The court heard how, in November 2008, Chawki was given a three-year jail term for carrying out two sex assaults on the London Underground, as well as possessing a false identity document. Home Secretary Theresa May (pictured) had claimed Chawki was held because he posed a 'serious risk' to the public but has lost the case . Chawki had pleaded guilty to the offences, after he pressed himself against the women on a crowded rush-hour train. The attacks had been witnessed by commuters and Chawki was later traced using DNA evidence and Oyster card records. During the hearing over those offences, the court heard how the 'revolting' sex attacks had had 'very lasting effects' on the victims. Judge Martin Beddoe, who heard the case at Southwark Crown Court, said he would recommend deportation after he had served time in jail for the crimes. Chawki was then released from jail in December 2009. Following an order for his deportation, he was placed in immigration detention, while officials began the process. But he was released from immigration detention in March last year after attempts to deport him failed. He was made to wear a monitoring tag. After his release, Chawki launched a legal battle, claiming he had been held in immigration detention when then was 'no prospect' of him being deported. Mrs May disputed his claim, saying he posed a 'serious risk of harm' and that there was a 'serious risk' that he would abscond.

He said: \u2018We do wonder at times if there is an anti-Christian agenda from some of our supermarkets who just keep turning it down. It is as if some feel Christianity is politically incorrect or the Easter story, which mentions Jesus, might put people off. \u2018One buyer asked us what Easter had got to do with the Church, while another simply said, \u201cI don\u2019t think this is a credible product\u201d and asked us to leave.\u2019 The Warrington-based firm has spent five years trying to persuade stores to sell its \u00a34 Christian-themed eggs, which were launched in 2010 with the backing of Archbishop Sentamu. At first the supermarkets refused, but two years ago, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury\u2019s, Waitrose and the Co-Op bowed to pressure and agreed.

Adversities that, as a viewer and a human being, you ultimately are delighted this incredible individual has gone on to overcome. In 'Chelsea: Black & Blue', Canoville proved himself more than eloquently capable of recalling how it was for him from the time he signed professional forms from his local club Hillingdon Borough in 1981. He talked vividly and emotionally, for example, about warming up as a sub for his debut at Crystal Palace the next year, and thinking 'are they for real?' as he heard a torrent of racial abuse. Then on turning and telling them to 'say that to my face', he discovered 'it was my own fans'. 'All I wanted to do was get off the pitch,' he added, and this was only the beginning of how life was going to be as a pioneer at the club.

Now, as the comet approaches the sun and solar rays recharge Philae's batteries, Rosetta mission manager Patrick Martin tells MailOnline he is confident of finding the probe soon - but it will be a race against time to get it working again. He warned that once the comet begins heading away from the sun in August it will enter hibernation again - but this time for good. Rosetta mission manager Patrick Martin told MailOnline he is confident of making contact with Philae on comet 67P soon (approach of lander on 12 November shown). The probe has been silent since it ran out of power in November, and Esa scientists in Germany recently failed to make contact . Last week, experts at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) abandoned an eight-day attempt to find the probe - the first attempt at trying to restart communications since it went dark. Philae only had a limited battery supply when it landed, lasting just 60 hours before it ran out of energy. 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 1 metre (40 inches) 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. It managed to perform more than 90 per cent of its goals before running out of power. Rosetta is continuing to orbit and study the comet. Scientists recently said that water on the comet was different to that on Earth - suggesting water on our world came from an asteroid, not a comet. But it is covered in solar panels and, as the comet approaches the sun, it is expected to get enough power - 19 watts - from its panels to make contact with the orbiting Rosetta spacecraft. There will be several windows of opportunity as Rosetta makes its way around the comet for the two unmanned spacecraft to talk to each other. The next of these will be on 13 April.

Webb, widely considered one of England's best ever referees, retired in August 2014 to become the technical director of the Professional Games Match Officials Limited (PGMOL). His first season out of the game has been littered with refereeing controversies, the most recent of which have come inside the last week. Howard Webb, who is widely regarded as one of England's greatest ever referees, retired in August 2014 . Burnley's Ashley Barnes was not punished for a horror challenge on Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic . Martin Atkinson's decision not to punish Burnley's Ashley Barnes for a tackle on Chelsea's Nemanja Matic attracted widespread criticism, while on Saturday Roger East sent off Sunderland's Wes Brown for a foul John O'Shea committed against Manchester United. East claimed on Saturday, through a PGMOL statement, that he had considered Brown to be the guilty party, hence his dismissal. Hackett, who used to head up the PGMOL - a job now done by Mike Riley - wants Webb, 43, to return. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, he said: 'Referees are making big mistakes, week in, week out. They need some leadership and with that leadership the guy who is at the top needs to front up. 'He should be encouraging Howard Webb to come back into the game as a referee. I don't know what Howard is doing behind the scenes with the referees.' Hackett has not been shy in criticising standards over recent weeks and says officials are giving away cards 'like confetti'. John O'Shea fouled Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao in the box, but Wes Brown was sent off instead . The Sunderland players crowded round referee Roger East but the incorrect decision was allowed to stand .

+{"article": "Paul McCartney's rich neighbours have blown nearly half a million pounds fighting over a leaky gutter that would have cost just \u00a37,000 to fix. Multi-millionaire property tycoon Brenda Fenton - who lives next door to the former Beatle - has been at war for years with surveyor, Clive Lewis, whose \u00a320million mansion adjoins her own listed home. The trouble between the pair centres on water overflowing from a blocked gutter on an extension at the back of Mr Lewis's house and creating a damp problem in Mrs Fenton's mansion next door. Now a county court judge has ordered Mr Lewis to alter his house and pay his neighbour \u00a3250,000 in costs and damages, leaving him facing an estimated total bill for the dispute approaching half a million pounds. A row broke out between the owners of these two west London mansions over a \u00a37,000 leaky gutter . The owners of the properties, which neighbour Paul McCartney's home, ended up going to court over the dispute and paid hundreds of thousands in legal fees . The court heard that wealthy widow Mrs Fenton, 84, moved into her home in St John's Wood, West London, 35 years ago. Sir Paul lives next door, in a house not far from the famous Abbey Road studios. Both Mrs Fenton and Mr Lewis are friends with the former Beatle, Judge Edward Bailey told Central London County Court, commenting that Mrs Fenton 'enjoyed an excellent relationship with her famous neighbour.' However the court heard that the relationship between Mrs Fenton and Mr Lewis is less friendly, and that since he bought his house in the late 1990s, she has been 'embroiled in a number of disputes' with him. Caroline Shea, for Mrs Fenton, told the judge that the dispute between the neighbours sprang out of a long-standing gripe about defective guttering on a glass-roofed extension to the back of the Lewis' palatial house. The extension, built in 1997, had inadequate guttering when it was put up, which Mr Lewis had also allowed to become blocked with leaves and other debris, the barrister said, causing damp problems in the day room, kitchen and garage of Mrs Fenton's own mansion. Brenda Fenton (left) insisted the extension of neighbour Clive Lewis (right) was ruining her own home . Miss Shea told the judge: 'Mrs Fenton is an elderly widow who has occupied her house for 35 years. She added: 'Mrs Fenton seeks injunctive relief requiring Mr and Mrs Lewis to rebuild the roof of the extension in such a way as to prevent rainwater running down to collect in the gutter and thence penetrating into [her home].' Philip Byrne, for Mr Lewis, denied that Mr Lewis had caused a 'nuisance' to his neighbour and dismissed expert reports linking the damp in Mrs Fenton's home to the gutter as 'erroneous.' The barrister said that Mr Lewis and his wife Marsha, an interior designer, put the blame for the malfunctioning guttering on Mrs Fenton's own wisteria plant, which they claimed was causing the blockage, and which was none of their responsibility.

Brain power: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Australian-based Emotiv have developed what it considers to be the next level in gaming - a headset (pictured) that lets you control on-screen and physical objects using just your mind .

Hernandez is on trial for murder in the June 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee. Lloyd's body was found in an industrial park near Hernandez's home, and prosecutors have said previously a marijuana cigarette was found near his bullet-riddled body. Former Pats player Aaron Hernandez sits in court during his murder trial on Thursday in Fall River, Massachusetts. A crime lab scientist testified today that his DNA matched DNA found on a cigarette butt at the crime scene . Diane Fife Biagiotti of the state police crime lab told jurors that she received rolling paper from a 2-inch-long cigarette butt to test for DNA. She said she found it had the DNA of at least two people on it. She said she first compared it with Lloyd's DNA and discovered he could have been one of the people whose DNA appeared on the butt.

The retired head of chemical and biological weapons for the Army believes the Tube or sporting events could be the target.

He told MailOnline: 'I am convinced that IS fighters are all being given training in chemical weapons and the British ones, who are likely to be more educated, will all be targeted in the hope they may return home. 'They will have a reasonable idea on how to use chlorine and other toxic chemicals as a terror weapon. 'This could happen on a train or tube or even at a big football match.

'The authorities must keep a close eye on those fighters returning to the UK, especially if they have a background in chemistry, and in particular anybody buying toxic chemicals'. Chlorine was used 100 years ago during the 2nd Battle of Ypres in April 1915, where the gas was vapourised into a cloud. It is classified as a 'choking agent', burning the lungs when inhaled in large quantities. But it is nowhere near as dangerous as nerve gases like sarin.

The story of Mr Forrest, Ms Badalyan and their son, Leo, has made international headlines after it emerged she filed for divorce a week after the birth of the baby who has Down Syndrome . So far, the Bring Leo Home campaign has raised more than $600,000 after celebrities such as U.S. actor Ashton Kutcher lent his fame to the single dad's cause. In a new twist in the story, it has now emerged Ms Badalyan is applying for permanent residency in New Zealand to give her relationship with Mr Forrest another shot, stuff.co.nz reported. The couple - who are not officially divorced under Armenian law - have their sights sets on moving to Auckland with Leo. 'They want to raise him in New Zealand but it all depends on whether New Zealand Immigration will find it legitimate,' a person close to the couple told the New Zealand news website. 'Despite all the negative media and emotional struggle, she wanted to go against the cultural norm and embrace the son. But there is a lot of money involved now.' Since the story of baby Leo emerged, Ms Badalyan has faced harsh criticisms from the public who have slammed her for abandoning her Down Syndrome child. Mr Forrest took up fundraising to try and get his son to New Zealand, and so far the campaign has raised more than $600,000 . In the weeks following the intense media scrutiny, Mr Forrest has come to her defence, saying she is one of the 'victims of the social norms in Armenia'. The couple had been married for 18 months . At the time, Mr Forrest said his wife refused to look at or even touch Leo because in her culture a child with a condition like Leo's brings shame on the entire family.

Chen Hongzhi, 25, from Hsinchu county, Beipu, suffered a serious head injury in a car accident when he was a teenager which has left him with virtually no memory, The People's Daily reports. He writes down everything - from the people he meets in the street to the weather - as his injury means he has to start from scratch each day. Memory book: Chen Hongzhi uses the notebook to write down people he meets and what he does each day after being left with a five-minute memory following a car crash . Chen suffered the severe brain injury in a car accident when he was 17 and spent months in intensive care in hospital. While his body recovered, his memory loss is still so severe that he often forgets things that happened between five and 10 minutes ago. The debilitating condition also means that Chen cannot remember how to write properly, so he makes notes in a phonetic 'scrawl' that mostly only he understands. 'This is my record, I write in it everyday, even if it is pouring down with rain or if I don't go out to do the weeding I still l must write, \"Heavy rain\",' he said. 'Whenever I get home from any time away I quickly grab my notebook and write down important things from the day - who I've met, what I've done, how much money I got from recycling bottles, all that sort of stuff.'

Dependants: Chen Hongzhi with his mother Wang Miao-chiong, who starts the day by handing Chen his notebook and reminding him he is no-longer 17. They are reliant on each other following the recent death of his father . Every day when Chen wakes up, his mother, Wang Miao-chiong, must remind him that he is no longer 17 and eight years have passed. She hands him the notebook so he can read what has happened in his life since the accident and check important details like who his friends are and what needs to be done that day. Chen's story has spread online in China after it was compared to that of the fictional character played by Nicole Kidman in the film Before I Go to Sleep. His condition means Chen is unable to hold down a job so he raises a small amount of money by walking several kilometres collecting plastic bottles. Chen also collects wood that he and his mother use to make a fire to cook their food. His mother, 60, said the practical system has kept Chen going for years, but she worries about what will happen to him after she has gone,", "summary": "Car crash left Chen Hongzhi with severe brain injuries and little memory .

A man who took part in the notorious gang rape and murder of a medical student in Delhi blames her for the attack, saying 'you can't clap with one hand - it takes two.' 'A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night,' said Mukesh Singh, one of four men condemned to death for the hideous sex attack that shocked the world two years ago. 'A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. Boy and girl are not equal. Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes. 'About 20 per cent of girls are good.' The depraved murder of Jyoti Singh in December 2012 sparked revulsion across the world as well as a wave of protests in India, where people demanded a change in attitudes towards women. The 23-year-old student had been returning from a cinema with a male friend on a Sunday evening when she accepted a lift from the off-duty charter bus. Once inside, bus driver Mukesh Singh, his brother Ram, gym instructor Vinay Sharma, 20, bus cleaner Akshay Thakur, 28, fruit-seller Pawan Gupta, 19, and an unnamed teenager subjected to a horrific rape. She died a fortnight later after suffering terrible injuries to her abdomen, genitals and intestines. Jyoti's death sparked a period of deep soul searching in India, where equal rights for women are enshrined in the constitution but rarely effective in practise. But even today, Mukesh Singh remains unrepentant. In an in-depth interview with filmmaker Leslee Udwin, as part of a documentary to be broadcast on BBC Four, he blamed Jyoti for daring to fight back against her attackers. 'When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape,' he said. 'Then they'd have dropped her off after \"doing her\", and only hit [her friend] the boy.' His impending execution, he suggests, is a foolish move that will only endanger future rape victims. 'The death penalty will make things even more dangerous for girls,' he said. 'Now when they rape, they won't leave the girl like we did. They will kill her. 'Before, they would rape and say, \"Leave her, she won't tell anyone.\" Now when they rape, especially the criminal types, they will just kill the girl. Death.' Mukesh Singh and his accomplices treated Jyoti no better. After luring her aboard the bus, they took turns raping her and beat her with an iron rod when frantically tried to fight them off. Two blood stained metal rods were later retrieved from the bus; medical staff confirmed that 'it was penetration by this that caused massive damage to her genitals, uterus and intestines'.

Big week of football coming up, starting with Swansea vs Liverpool - stick with MailOnline for all the updates. A drab second half is brought to the end by the referee. If only Karim Benzema had netted that ridiculous flick, eh? Anyway, Gareth Bale's seven-game run without scoring is over and he looks ready for next week's El Clasico, even if Cristiano Ronaldo was a bit out of sorts. Real Madrid move to within a point of Barcelona, and they are nine goals behind the Catalan club in terms of goal difference. Yeah, he's not scoring today. Marcelo puts in a cross, Bale slicks it on and Ronaldo shins the ball wide. Three minutes added on. Ronaldo elects to allow someone else to take a free-kick. This time it's Marcelo, he whips it in and it finds Hernandez but he wastes a header wide of the post. Oh, and Hernandez was just one of four Real players offside - the linesman spots it. Seconds later Nabil El Zhar flashes a shot well over the bar from the edge of the area, not that that statement will surprise Liverpool fans. Sergio Ramos pulls back Victor Casadesus. It's a yellow card for the Spaniard. Ronaldo still looking for that elusive goal, he cuts in from the left along the edge of the area, past two markers and fires in the shot but it's straight at goalkeeper Marino. Another change, Benzema gets a bit of a rest towards the end - with most people still gutted not to see his wondergoal effort go it - and is replaced by Javier Hernandez. Give the maestro a rest before El Clasico next week... Luka Modric comes off after completing 77 minutes and is replaced by Illarramendi. He might be the best player in the world but Ronaldo is taking a bit of a liberty here. First the lack of respect to Bale in the first half, and now he's running around demanding the ball.

It is thought that this could foreshadow the company's latest attempt to shake up a long-established industry and has raised questions as to whether Google may one day start selling policies. Called Google Compare for car insurance, the tool allows people to compare offerings from different insurance providers. The new service, unveiled on Thursday, compares auto insurance quotes from up to 14 carriers that are participating in the comparisons. Google has unveiled a new service to help California drivers shop for car insurance, which could be the company's first step towards really shaking up the market . To date 14 insurers are participating in the comparison site which sees Google take a cut from each sale which can be bought online or through an agent - the service is also mobile friendly . Google gets a cut from each sale, but the company said that the size of the commissions will not influence how it ranks the price quotes . The policies can then be bought online or through an agent and Google will receive a cut from each insurance sale. The Mountain View, California, company has said that the size of the commissions will not influence how it ranks the price quotes. Ellen Carney, an analyst for Forrester Research, wrote in January that Google may be making moves to ramp up its insurance knowledge base through an acquisition of San Francisco-based Coverhound. Coverhound has developed its own platform for consumers to shop for car insurance and an acquisition would also bring a lot of insurance market experience to Google. Some of the largest auto insurance providers, including State Farm, Allstate, Progressive and Geico, haven't joined Google's service. Progressive and Allstate's esurance.com also provide auto insurance price comparisons. It is thought that they fear that one day Google might compete with them, and no longer act as a middle-man. Google has a uniquely dominant position as a search provider through which it can potentially challenge the status quo in an industry. Carney pointed out that Google is learning about the industry as a step towards one day selling and underwriting its own policies. 'They are getting all the data that they need to do it,' Carney said. 'I think there is definitely more to come here.' However, a Google spokesperson said the company has no plans to sell or underwrite insurance. To date in the U.S. only drivers in California can use the service, but it is expected to be rolled out in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Texas among other states in the near future .

Prince Nasser bin Hamad al-Khalifa posted this video of himself running in Hyde Park on Thursday . The video was captioned: 'That's how it feels and sounds when you run in Hyde Park, London' He now faces fresh calls for his arrest following a High Court ruling last year which stripped him of diplomatic immunity. A Bahraini refugee in Britain, referred to only as FF, alleged Prince Nasser was involved in the torture of detained prisoners during 2011 Arab Spring protests. Today The Independent reported human rights lawyers acting for FF have delivered a 'dossier' of new evidence to Scotland Yard in a bid to have him charged following the revelation he is visiting the capital. Previous allegations which gave rise to the diplomatic immunity row did not stick. No charges were brought against him due to a lack of evidence and both he and the government of Bahrain strongly deny the accusations. The case arose after FF, who has been granted asylum in the UK, claims he was badly beaten - though not by the prince directly - and given a prison sentence after taking part in protests in the Gulf state in February 2011 which left dozens dead. Following the decision to revoke his diplomatic immunity in October last year, a spokeswoman for the Government of Bahrain said: 'As the British DPP has today affirmed, an arrest would have been improper given the absence of evidence of the conduct alleged. 'As Bahrain has never sought anonymity or sovereign immunity from the English Courts for anyone in respect of this case, it expresses no view on the DPP's statement that immunity was inappropriate. 'This has been an ill-targeted, politically-motivated and opportunistic attempt to misuse the British legal system. The Government of Bahrain again categorically denies the allegations against Sheikh Nasser.' Lawyers for Prince Nasser said: 'The allegations are entirely false and categorically denied by Prince Nasser. The presentation of the \"dossier\" to the police appears to be a politically-motivated and opportunistic attempt to use the British justice system once again to ventilate damaging allegations about Prince Nasser. 'FF stated last October that he intended to submit further evidence to the police, but some five months passed and nothing had been forthcoming until today.

The widower of the woman who inspired the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds has avoided jail after he launched into a racist rant at a police officer.

It is a chance for Massimiliano Allegri's men to edge even further ahead of the pack and increase their lead to 12 points at the summit of the Italian top flight. However Roma will be keen for victory in front of a home crowd in order to claw back some lost ground against the Old Lady. Paul Pogba has been in scintillating form for Juventus this term, but starts on the bench against Roma . Juve are on a 15-game unbeaten run in Serie A, and have lost just one league game all season away to Genoa in October. Roma on the other hand have won just twice in their last nine games, drawing seven. Host commentator . That's it from me tonight, an entertaining contest to say the least! Thank you for joining us. Goodnight! And there we have it! A fantastic comeback from Roma to earn themselves a point against Juve. Admittedly, the home side were outplayed for most of the game but their response to conceding the goal and going down to ten men must be admired. Juventus will be happy with the draw and keeping their nine-point gap between themselves and Roma intact. Padoin is brought on for Lichtsteiner, who is cursing his luck as he leaves the field of play. Risky play from Florenzi in his own half but he manages to squirm free and get Roma on an attack but it comes to nothing. Silly, petulant tackle from the Chilean. He's been asking for that. Morata is replaced by Coman. After being silenced by Tevez's free kick, the Stadio Olimpico has truly erupted since Keita's equaliser. The substitute goes in the book for a poor tackle. Keita gets the leveller for the 10 men of Roma after getting on the end of Florenzi's free kick. The Malian heads in the loose ball, to send the home support into raptures. Just 12 minutes remaining. This one's really getting nasty. Iturbe on the sharp end of two stinging Juventus challenges deep in the opposing half. The Argentine has really made an impact since his introduction. Juventus rightly impressed with Tevez's magical free kick. De Sanctis could merely watch as the ball glided into his top left corner. Garcia makes his third and final change as De Rossi makes way for Belgium international Nainggolan. Manolas rises highest to meet a free kick from deep, forcing Buffon into his first real piece of action of the game. Rudi Garcia has sprung into action since the Juve goal and brings on Iturbe for Totti. Ljajic makes way for Florenzi as the hosts look to respond. The Argentinian steps up to take the resulting free kick and bends one in from 25 yards. One hell of a blow for 10-man Roma. As Vidal is played through on the edge of the box, the Greek full back clips the heels of the Juve forward.

Now a newly discovered image suggests previous claims that the name of RMS Lusitania was painted out to protect her on her fateful final voyage in 1915 were untrue, making her a legitimate target for German submarines. Officials at the time had said everything had been done to try and protect the British boat - including painting out its name - meaning that enemy vessels would have struggled to work out if she was a civilian ship, or an armed merchant cruiser as the Lusitania was. This picture, which has only just emerged, is believed to be the last one ever taken of the RMS Lusitania in New York - and it clearly shows her name had not been painted over as authorities had said . The RMS Lusitania (pictured) was sunk by a German U-Boat in 1915 killing 1,198 passengers and crew . Kent Layton, 35, from New York, said: 'It was said they had done everything to make her less 'findable' to the enemy, camouflaging her for protection, helping protect her from attack. 'It was stated that the ship's name was obscured at the same time, in an attempt to conceal her identity. The photo in question helps to clear up a long standing myth.' The Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-Boat in 1915, 11 miles off the southern coast of Ireland and inside the declared 'zone of war'. A second internal explosion sent her down in just 18 minutes. Much like the Titanic, the Lusitania did no carry enough lifeboats for all the passengers, officers and crew, and was actually carrying four lifeboats fewer than the Titanic carried in 1912. This was common practice for large passenger ships at the time, as it was believed that in busy shipping lanes help would never be far away. However, due to the lack of life boats nearly 1,200 people lost their lives, making it one of the greatest maritime tragedies of all time. One of the new pictures to emerge of passengers onboard the RMS Lusitania before its sinking . The ship was attacked off the coast of Ireland after leaving New York for Liverpool in May 1915 . She was launched by the Cunard Line in 1906, alongside her sister ship, the Mauretania. It was the incident that helped convince the Americans to enter the First World War. The sinking caused a storm of protest in the United States as 128 Americans were among the dead. President Woodrow Wilson said 'America is too proud to fight' and demanded an end to attacks on passenger ships. The ship's sinking provided Britain with a propaganda opportunity and turned public opinion in many countries against Germany. This helped shift public opinion in the US against Germany and influenced America's eventual declaration of war two years later in 1917.

'A floating paradise': A river cruise on the Sanctuary Ananda was the best way to see the sights . The brochure promised enchantment and luxury, along with the chance to experience this fascinating land close up. I have to say, they were true to their promise. The boat, Sanctuary Ananda, is basically a floating paradise. The first thing I did when I got to my cabin was throw open the French doors and step on to the veranda. The second thing was to clamber on to the fluffy nest of a bed and enjoy the sight of a new world sliding past my windows. At this point, I promised myself that one day I would lie there and watch the sunrise. Next morning, thanks to jet lag, that's exactly what I did. It was so superb, I set my alarm so I could enjoy it every day. Ox-cart ride anyone? Stan enjoyed his bumpy ride in the back of the taxi . The only way to see the temples.... from a balloon . Our guide later explained that the owners of Sanctuary Ananda, obviously aware of the negative impact tourism can sometimes have on real lives like these, are working with the village elders to plan for the future. The first fruits of this philanthropic project are a full-time teacher and a library in the village. The next few days passed in a blur of excitement. We stopped off to explore ancient ruins and temples that were still very much in use. One day I found myself wandering along a dusty path, wilting in the heat. I hailed a passing ox cart, which had the word 'taxi' scrawled on the side, and got a delightfully bumpy lift back to the shore. Next morning I was up before the sun had even thought about rising. I couldn't sleep, and couldn't face breakfast. Truth be told, I could hardly stop myself from doing a dance. The reason was simple.

The app can then make recommendations that can improve the user\u2019s health and help them live longer, whether it be eating better, exercising or seeing friends and loved ones. The goal of the app is simple: to Make Life Better. The app combines different data sets to recommend healthy lifestyle choices. Rehabstudio's design, which has been created with the Apple Watch in mind, adds time to your life for healthful activity and subtracts time when you give in to bad habits. The idea came to Rehabstudio owner Tom Le Bree following the announcement for the Apple Watch. 'We saw an opportunity,' Le Bree told Wired. 'We thought, 'OK, if time is really a human construct, how can we play with it?'' While Apple says there will be nine official faces available when the watch launches next month, none are unusual in the way their approach time. Le Bree started thinking about a concept called temporal discounting which is the idea that you can discount the future in favour of the present. 'Tomorrow, I'm the guy that goes to the gym, quits smoking, and stops eating fatty foods. But today I'm going to have one last cigarette,' Le Bree says. The app works by linking up with a user\u2019s Apple HealthKit data, which then converts the user\u2019s activities into time. This is then displayed on the Apple Watch. It can then make recommendations that can improve the user\u2019s health and help them live longer, whether it be eating better, exercising or seeing friends and loved ones.

While some of us had to work for a living, off he went in the late Eighties with money in the bank; bought a dilapidated house; charmed the locals and wrote whole chapters about eccentric French plumbers. The cash rolled in, but Provence became a clich\u00e9. Envious? Moi? Absolutely. Scroll down for video . View from the top: The creamy village of Gordes in the Luberon (best seen once the coaches have left) That's why, for 25 years, I gave the region a wide berth. But that's nothing compared to Susan, my 80-something mother-in-law, who hadn't been to France for half a century. Then, to my horror, as soon as the Eurostar pulled out of St Pancras, Susan produced a crumpled copy of Mayle's book and quickly became engrossed. Getting there is a doddle. In high season the train goes all the way from London to Avignon. We picked up a hire car at Avignon station and headed for our villa just outside pretty L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, which straddles five tributaries of the River Sorgue and was once a centre of the cloth industry. L'Hirondelle, as our villa is called, is owned by a Hungarian couple. They have done a fabulous job: traditional (terrace sheltered by vines, pool, hewn stone floors, lavender) but also big on technology (huge TV showing all the main UK channels and fridges galore). A region of colour and aromas: Rolling fields of lavender are a welcome sight for visitors to Provence . I was just uncorking the first bottle of rose and about to toast our good fortune when Susan noticed her suitcase was not the one that she'd left Norfolk with. It was my fault. I'd picked up an entirely different one on arrival in Avignon. Now we all know France is in crisis. But, what I hadn't quite appreciated, is how frustratingly inefficient it is. Lost and Found offices only operate Monday to Friday; there is no number you can call and the police look at you wearily when reporting something missing. Luckily, it was market day on Sunday in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (once described as the 'Venice of Provence', which is a little overstating things) and so we bought several new frocks for Susan, before settling down to lunch by the river.

Both recorded victories on Saturday to maintain their perfect records and take their Elite Round qualifying group to the wire. England squeezed past Azerbaijan 1-0 in Bayeux thanks to a first-half winner from Manchester City's Ashley Smith-Brown, his second decisive goal in two matches. Ashley Smith-Brown scored England's winner as they recorded a vital result over Azerbaijan . France, meanwhile, beat Denmark 2-0 to lead the way on goal difference, meaning that Sean O'Driscoll's Young Lions must beat them in Saint-Lo to take the group's only qualifcation spot. As expected, England dominated possession and chances against Azerbaijan, but could only convert one of them. It came eight minutes before half-time when Smith-Brown collected the ball wide on the left, cut inside and curled a lovely shot into the far corner. Confidence was high in the England camp after twice coming from behind to beat Denmark 3-2 on Thursday and this game reverted to type almost immediately. Faced with an Azerbaijan team with 11 men behind the ball, England knew they would have to be patient and their first effort came from range when Fulham's Patrick Roberts saw a 25-yarder tipped over by goalkeeper Tolga Sahin. Sean O'Driscoll's England side must now beat France on Tuesday to qualify for the European Championships . Lewis Cook, of Leeds United, fired narrowly off target when debutant Aaron Kuhl, of Reading, picked him out on the edge of the penalty area. That pressure eventually told when right-back Smith-Brown marauded forward to score what would prove to be the game's decisive goal. The second-half, unsurprisingly, followed a similar pattern, with Roberts and Kuhl going close during its early stages. Azerbaijan's one and only attack of note culminated in Elnur Jafarov firing wide of the far post when well-placed. Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek had the ball in the net three minutes from time only to be flagged offside but the one goal was sufficient as England set up their showdown with France. Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek saw a late goal disallowed for offside . England (4-2-3-1): Freddie Woodman (Newcastle United); Ola Aina (C; Chelsea), Joe Gomez (Charlton Athletic), Brendan Galloway (Everton), Ashley Smith-Brown (Manchester City); Aaron Kuhl (Reading), Lewis Cook (Leeds United); Patrick Roberts (Fulham), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea), Alex Kiwomya (Chelsea); Bradley Fewster (Middlesbrough).

For the author of The Wild Oats Project described how, for a year, she would spend weekdays sleeping with strangers and weekends with her husband of 17 years, Scott Mansfield. At the time, the dramatic move was a bid to save their relationship after Scott had a vasectomy, but now he's spoken out to say that he never wanted to see other people. Scroll down for video . In her new book Robin Rinaldi revealed that she spent a year having sex with other people ultimately ending her marriage, now her husband Scott has revealed he wouldn't have ever chosen the experiment . While Robin has widely discussed their free-wheeling year, and explores it in a new book, The Wild Oats Project, Scott has kept quiet on the matter - until now, revealing that if he'd had his way the couple would never have entered into the '5:2' marriage in the first place. 'It wasn't something I wanted to do,' the brewer and wine-maker told The Times. 'I didn't like the idea of opening up our marriage. But if I didn't do it, I felt we were heading for divorce, so I thought why not take the chance and maybe we can come out the other side?' His premonition was correct a ultimately the decision led to the end of their marriage and Robin getting together with one of her lovers. Scott says that while he understood his wife's desire to experience sexual relationships with other people - he himself had enjoyed a promiscuous youth - he had always felt it might spell trouble for their marriage. And it seems the question of whether or not to have children had always been an issue for the couple with Scott being firmly against the idea. Irretrievable: After Rinaldi's year of uninhibited encounters, she was unable to rekindle her loving marriage with Mansfield, and the two now have different partners .

The view of the city from the top is spectacular but for a few precious days I swapped it for an even better one - with the magnificent backdrop of the Italian Dolomites. After a two-hour car journey from Innsbruck we were greeted at Rosa Alpina - a five-star, family-owned hotel and spa tucked in a valley in the tiny village of San Cassiano - with a local speciality: a sweet and comforting hot apple juice. Impossibly neat: Rosa Alpina is nestled in the green foothills of the Italian Dolomites . In the sunshine, the village looked pristine, with pretty wooden chalets stacked against mountain pastures which would have been snow-covered in winter but were now a vivid green. The grass was impossibly neat and as I wondered how many cows it must take to maintain, I spotted sit-on mowers weaving up and down the slopes. Completing the alpine scene was a hefty-looking herd with jangling cowbells. Having picked out a buggy from the hotel lobby, with map in hand we set off on a mountain walk but took the lazy way up - in a cable car. As the cable car lurched, my four month-old daughter Romilly wobbled in my lap, lip trembling; looking back down the mountain and up to the peak seemed a long way off. I began to doubt my fitness for what was my first post-baby trip away - billed as a Yummy Mummy healthy strolling break. I had feared craggy paths at the summit, precariously winding round the mountain, but found gentle, undulating trails. There was a restaurant, playground, park and fountain. It was as family friendly as the nursery department at John Lewis. Families and groups were starting out or finishing walks, with children in backpacks and buggies, or just jogging alongside their parents, perfectly content without a gadget in sight. Some were Nordic walking, others speed hiking. Would this sort of family outing happen back home? Not likely and what a shame. Instead of craggy, unforgiving trails, Sarah found undulating trails in the mountains perfect for buggies . The views were awesome and the air so pure I took in great gulps in the hope it might benefit my London-worn lungs. We could have easily taken a different trail each day of the week. At one hilltop restaurant, deckchairs overlooked the spectacular view like a sort of mountain beach, and children played on swings.

Sir Jeremy Heywood was given a humiliating rebuke by MPs yesterday for clearing taxpayer-funded advisers to take part in political campaigning. Westminster\u2019s Public Administration Committee said the country\u2019s top mandarin had been \u2018wrong in law\u2019 during a row over two of Theresa May\u2019s Special Advisers. It is another blow to the reputation of the Cabinet Secretary \u2013 who is known as Sir Cover Up for trying to block the publication of letters related to the Iraq War. Nick Timothy and Stephen Parkinson, two of the Home Secretary\u2019s closest aides, refused an order from Tory HQ to take part in telephone canvassing during last year\u2019s Rochester by-election. The pair said it was a breach of the special adviser's code, which says that - as public servants - they should not conduct canvassing in by-election campaigns and are required to resign their posts if they wish to do so. Number Ten and Tory HQ disagreed \u2013 suspending both men from the list of candidates at the forthcoming General Election as a punishment. To justify the decision, Number Ten relied upon advice from Sir Jeremy, who wields enormous power inside Government. He controversially ruled it was acceptable for special advisers to take part in \u2018backroom support\u2019 activities in their private time and telephone canvassing fell into this category. But that interpretation has now been flatly rejected by the public administration committee.

+{"article": "The U.S. study showed supplements of of purified Omega 7 oil, the key fatty acid found in anchovies, could reduce harmful blood fats and boost 'good' cholestrol . Anchovies could hold the key to cutting risk factors for heart disease and stroke. An extract of omega oil found in them reduced levels of harmful blood fats and boosted \u2018good\u2019 cholesterol. The findings come from the first human trial of supplements of purified Omega 7 oil, the key fatty acid found in anchovies. After just a month volunteers were found to have a 44 per cent cut in C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation in the blood, along with triglycerides and bad LDL cholesterol. Experts say the health benefits of palmitoleic acid, the prime Omega 7 acid, are only just emerging. Dr Michael Roizen, who led the US study, said \u2018I think the major benefit come from decreasing inflammation as well as a beneficial effect on other contributing risk factors to cardiovascular disease, with no side effects that we know of.\u2019 Dr Roizen, professor of medicine and head of the Wellness Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, said \u2018The trial showed inflammatory markers were reduced and the effect on good fats was a bonus. \u2018There seems to be a lot of benefit and not much risk \u2013 this could help us tackle some of the factors made worse by obesity that can lead to heart disease,\u2019 he added. In the study, 60 adult volunteers were randomly assigned to take 220mg of palmitoleic acid once a day or an inactive supplement for 30 days. Those taking part had mildly raised levels of blood fats and inflammation. After the study tests showed a 44 per cent reduction in CRP, 15 per cent cut in triglycerides and eight per cent fall in LDL cholesterol \u2013 all factors linked to heart disease. Levels of HDL \u2013 a good form of cholesterol \u2013 rose five per cent compared with those taking dummy capsules. The trial, published by the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, was funded by Tersus Pharmaceuticals which provided the experimental capsules called Provinal. Provinal is available in the UK as Pura 7, a new brand of Omega 7 concentrated wild anchovy oil. Unlike the better known polyunsaturated fatty acids known as omega-3s, omega-7s are monounsaturated fats and they have different mechanisms of action. But to get the same effect from anchovies alone would mean eating a can of the fish a day . Palmitoleic acid was found by scientists at Harvard University in 2008 to be the first fatty acid to act as a hormone in the body. It plays an important role in regulating metabolism and appears to protect against harmful processes associated with obesity-related diseases such as diabetes. Dr Roizen, who chairs the scientific advisory board for Tersus Pharmaceuticals, said people would have to eat around a can of anchovies a day to get the same amount of omega 7 oil from a daily dose of supplements. \u2018That\u2019s a reasonable amount of anchovies every day if you like them, but some people find it simpler", "summary": "An extract of omega oil found in them reduced levels of harmful blood fats .

+{"article": "A smart cooking device that uses 'satellite technology' for precision-temperature cooking has been unveiled. The \u00a3330 ($499) Cinder Sensing Cooker looks like a sandwich toaster but is used to cook a variety foods, including steak. An app tells you when your food is done - and even stores it for up to two hours if you aren't ready to eat just yet. A San Francisco-based company has developed the Cinder Sensing Cooker (shown). It uses 'satellite technology' to cook food to precise temperatures . The boss of the San Francisco-based company, Eric Norman, was previously an engineer at Lockheed Martin - known for its involvement in the space industry. Mr Norman said they \u2018drew upon rocket science used in spacecraft to create a wholly down-to-Earth cooking experience.\u2019 For example, the materials and the structural design were selected specifically to optimise heat flow, while the device can cook food to very precise specifications. \u2018Like controlling the motion of a satellite, Cinder\u2019s predictive control system and sensor placement are carefully tuned to avoid overshoot,\u2019 the company said. Dimensions: 18 x 12 x 5 inches (46 x 30 x 13cm) Weight: 12 lbs (5kg) Electric: 1800W at 120V . Max temperature: 290\u00b0C (550\u00b0F) Connectivity: WiFi and Bluetooth . Mr Norman said the product enables people to \u2018combine the best parts of home cooking - the creative and sensory experience - with the best part of fine dining, which is the perfectly cooked, delicious food.\u2019 To cook food, Cinder has an enclosed chamber and two non-stick aluminium cooking plates. These are equipped with highly accurate sensors that achieve and maintain the precise temperature to cook a particular food. This can either be calculated by the machine, or selected according to the cook\u2019s preferences. The company said it can \u2018prepare a perfect, medium-rare New York Strip steak, cooked evenly edge-to-edge and with a beautiful seared exterior, in 28 minutes.\u2019 The user selects what food is cooking via an app. The device then uses two plates to heat it to the right temperature. It can also store cooked food for up to two hours ready to serve . The app will send you reminders to let you know when your food is done and the user can also control the cooker remotely using any connected device. It is currently only available for iOS . To cook food in Cinder, the user simply places the food inside and closes the lid. They then select what they are cooking - for example \u2018NY Strip, Medium Rare\u2019 - in an accompanying app. It reaches its target temperature \u2018within seconds\u2019 and then maintains this until the food also reaches its correct temperature. Once cooked, the machine can then keep the food at its serving temperature for two hours. \u2018Because the temperature inside Cinder is so precise and remains constant, it is impossible to overcook or undercook the steak,\u2019 the company claimed. 'To monitor the temperature of the food, Cinder uses a \u2018patent-pending virtual-thermometer algorithm.\u2019 Cinder is available now for pre-order, and will begin shipping in early 2016.

Uber cars, often black sedans that can be summoned with smartphone apps, now outnumber the yellow taxis that city riders have hailed with a whistle and a wave for generations. It was a changing-of-the-guard moment that passed with little fanfare this week in figures released by the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission: 14,088 registered Uber cars compared with 13,587 yellow cabs. Uber cars, which are hailed by an app, now outnumber the yellow taxis in New York City, a place famous for its classic yellow cars (file photo) But it hardly means yellow cabs are out of favor. In fact, there are about 440,000 yellow cab rides a day, compared to just 20,000 to 30,000 Uber rides. That's because Uber drivers often own their own cars and work less than 40 hours a week, while most yellow taxis are owned by cab companies, have more than one driver and are on the road close to 24 hours a day. 'Yellow cab rides significantly outstrip the number of black car rides,' said Meera Joshi, chairwoman of the taxi commission. 'So the number of their affiliated vehicles in and of itself doesn't paint a complete picture.' Uber was introduced in New York City in 2011 and has grown steadily in popularity, particularly among tech-savvy customers who are comfortable hailing rides through an app that shows when a car is on the way. A customer can even follow its progress with a blip on a street map. Similar companies such as Lyft use apps to connect with riders. Prices are comparable, but some Uber riders have complained about fare add-ons for larger vehicles and 'surge pricing' during rush hour, bad weather or holidays. Figures released by the New York's Taxi and Limousine Commission shows that 14,088 registered Uber cars compared with 13,587 yellow cabs in the city (file photo) 'I absolutely do love the convenience, and if it's not surge pricing I find the costs very comparable and in some cases cheaper than yellow taxis,' said Kerry Farrell, a paralegal who uses Uber about three times a week. Uber spokesman Matt Wing declined to comment on the significance of the numbers of Uber cars surpassing yellow cabs. But some drivers and their advocates grumbled that Uber's growth has flooded the market, lowering average incomes for all drivers. 'Uber having an unlimited number of cars means no drivers \u2014 taxi or black car and livery \u2014 will earn a decent living,' said Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, an advocacy group that includes both Uber and yellow cab drivers as members. Mamadou Diallo, who has been driving a yellow cab since 2004, said he once could count on at least 30 fares a day. But his take has dropped 30 to 40 percent since Uber and other such car services entered the New York market. 'It's a jungle,' he said, 'and the big fish always eat the small fish.'

However, the stronger-than-expected job gains weren't enough to boost wages by much. The average hourly wage rose just 3 cents in February to $24.78 an hour. Still, over the past 12 months, 3.3 million more Americans have gotten jobs. More jobs and lower gas prices have led many consumers to step up spending. That's boosting the economy, offsetting sluggish economies overseas and giving employers the confidence to hire. The closely followed employment report was released a little more than a week before the US central bank's March 17-18 policy meeting. The strengthening job market could give the Federal Reserve room to move toward raising interest rates from record lows. Most analysts expect the Fed to pave the way for higher rates by adjusting the statement it issues after its March policy meeting, to be followed by the first hike in June or September. After the jobs report was released Friday morning, investors sold ultra-safe US Treasurys, a sign that many anticipate a Fed rate hike. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.18 per cent from 2.11 percent before the report was issued. The US job market and economy are easily outpacing those of other major nations. Though Europe and Japan are showing signs of growing more than last year, their economies remain feeble. The euro currency union's unemployment rate has started to fall, but at 11.2 percent it remains nearly twice the US level. The US economy expanded at a breakneck annual pace of 4.8 per cent in last year's spring and summer, only to slow to a tepid 2.2 per cent rate in the final three months of 2014.

The younger boy was successfully freed and airlifted to a Flint hospital for treatment. The 9-year-old's ordeal took place after he and his older brother twice stole cars from a Village of Roscommon dealership. Investigation: A 10-year-old Michigan boy seemingly ran over his 9-year-old brother with a stolen car in the state's northern Lower Peninsula, authorities said. The two boys are believed to have used a cooler to break into a used car dealership (pictured) The Roscommon County Sheriff's Department responded at approximately 2:30am Sunday after receiving a call, Detective Sergeant John Wybraniec, a spokesman for the sheriff's office, told Daily Mail Online. The boys live with their grandparents across the street from the used car dealership, he said. Wybraniec said deputies responded to the initial break-in and saw the lights were on inside, that a northeast window had been broken, and that there was a cooler underneath it. After securing the business, deputies noticed that vehicles outside were 'askew, not in a neat line that they normally are,' Wybraniec told Daily Mail Online. The sheriff's department said in a news release that thieves swiped car keys and wreaked havoc at the dealership by driving cars and slamming them around. The boys confessed to the joyrides, according to the sheriff's department. Wybraniec told Daily Mail Online said that the boys took out a 2009 Impala and a 2012 Malibu, and that a total of six vehicles were damaged. He said that deputies collected the car keys and the Department of Human Services was contacted. Deputies received a call around 11:30am on Sunday, Wybraniec said. The two boys took the same cars out and drove along Shelley Street. One car, the 2012 Malibu, slammed into a snow bank and got stuck, he said. Wybraniec said that the 10-year-old was behind the wheel of the 2009 Impala that he seemingly drove over his brother. 'We think it's inadvertently,' he told Daily Mail Online. The boy was found underneath the car in a vacant lot next to their house. Wybraniec said that the boys' grandmother discovered the 9-year-old pinned underneath and contacted 911. Wybraniec said it didn't appear his injuries were life-threatening, but that their extent is unknown. He said that deputies do not know the motive for stealing the cars, but that it appears the pair snuck out after their grandparents went to sleep and used the cooler for the break-in. The brothers, who both have learning disabilities, spoke to police and will be interviewed this week by a Children's Assessment Center specialist, Wybraniec said. Charges are possible but unlikely, he said.

Clarence House yesterday expressed its 'disappointment' that the Supreme Court ruled the Attorney General had acted unlawfully in using a veto to block publication of his so-called 'black spider' memos. But senior royal sources also insisted to the Mail that the future king had no regrets about acting as an 'advocate' for his people. One said the judgment was 'unlikely to impact' on Charles doing what sees as his public duty. Yesterday's ruling by the UK's highest court follows a nine-year legal battle between the Government and The Guardian newspaper, which used the Freedom of Information Act to apply for 27 letters written by the Prince to senior politicians to be released. The Prime Minister also said he was disappointed by the ruling. Charles has long been accused of bombarding ministers with memos in an attempt to influence policy on issues close to his heart such as the environment, farming, the countryside, GM crops and complementary medicine. During the period in question \u2013 September 2004 to April 2005 \u2013 he wrote to seven Government departments: Business, Innovation and Skills; Health; Children, Schools and Families; Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Culture, Media and Sport; the Northern Ireland Office and the Cabinet Office. The correspondence \u2013 nicknamed black spider memos because of Charles's scrawling handwriting and use of underlining and exclamation marks \u2013 is said, according to previous Attorney General Dominic Grieve, to contain 'full and frank' expressions of his 'most deeply held personal views'. The newspaper was initially successful in its application. In 2012, however, the Attorney General employed a rarely-used ministerial veto to block publication under Section 53 of the FOI Act. He said the public could interpret the letters sent to ministers in the last Labour government as showing Charles 'disagreeing with government policy'. This would be 'seriously damaging to his role as future monarch because, if he forfeits his position of political neutrality\u2026 he cannot easily recover it when he is king'. That veto was challenged by The Guardian in the Supreme Court which ruled, by a majority of five to two, that the government did not have a right to overrule a decision taken by the courts.

+{"article": "In Darwin\u2019s theory of evolution, life is able to evolve through a process of \u2018natural selection\u2019, where certain traits become more or less common in animals based on their benefit. And now researchers are starting to emulate the same process in robots, so that they can learn how to perform complex tasks. The research involves a similar process of selection but on a larger and faster scale, allowing artificial brains to pick out the most worthwhile traits and continue evolving. Research carried out by a team from Michigan State University used genetic algorithms to model a large population of robot brains (stock image shown). These were asked to perform tasks, such as finding the exit to a maze. Those that performed the task best had simulated 'offspring', creating a better brain . The research, led by computational biologist Dr Chris Adami from Michigan State University, involves using genetic algorithms to model a large population of robot \u2018brains\u2019 working on a task. For example, this could be finding the exit to a maze. The brains that performed the task best had the largest number of simulated \u2018offspring\u2019, meaning the smartest robots multiplied. The researchers ran this genetic algorithm over thousands, and sometimes hundreds of thousands of generations, and then downloaded the surviving brains into robots that executed the tasks in the outside world. One of the more complicated tasks the team's robots worked on required multiple machines to figure out and remember in which order they would leave a room. The robots were then asked to come back into the room, either in the same order as they left, or in the reverse order. \u2018This is difficult because the robots have to ID each other,\u2019 Dr Adami said. In December 2014 scientists mimicked evolution in the laboratory for the first time using droplets of oil. The researchers behind the study claim their work proves that a non-biological system composed of chemicals can be made to evolve. The findings mark an important step towards creating synthetic life and may also help scientists to explain how the first biological cells appeared on Earth more than 3.6 billion years ago. Evolution was long believed to be a process that only biological creatures were capable of, but recent research aimed towards creating synthetic life has begun to question that idea. Professor Lee Cronin, regius chair of chemistry at the University of Glasgow who led the new research, used a robot to create tiny oil droplets from a mixture of four chemicals. Each droplet was dropped into a petri dish of water and analysed for three different types of 'fitness' over the course of a minute using video cameras. The robot then selected the droplet that performed best and the chemical composition of this was used to replicate the experiment, tweaking the mixture slightly each time. Over the course of 21 generations, the oil droplets became more stable in the watery world in which they were being dropped. This, according to Professor Cronin, mimicked the process of natural selection, which Charles Darwin proposed for driving evolution.

+{"article": "The Brownsville, Texas federal judge who blocked President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration has ordered the Justice Department to answer allegations that the government misled him about part of the plan. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen on Monday denied the Obama administration's request to lift a time-out he enforced on Feb. 16, when he ruled that a lawsuit filed by 26 states might succeed. His order was designed, he said, to prevent a situation that couldn't be undone if it were declared unconstitutional. It also seemed to fire a shot across the White House's bow, blaming the administration for failing to keep illegal immigrants out of the country. HOT SEAT: President Barack Obama, seen Tuesday signing the 'Student Aid Bill of Rights' law in the Oval Office, faces the possibility that his immigration plans will die in federal court . HERE COMES THE JUDGE: Federal jurist Andrew Hanen is calling the Obama administration on the carpet about the president's immigration plan . 'The court finds that the government's failure to secure the border has exacerbated illegal immigration into this country,' Hanen ruled in February, saying that states were being financially 'drained by the constant influx of illegal immigrants.' His stay will remain in place for at least another 10 days, pending a March 19 hearing where the Justice Department will have tough questions to answer. Last week the government's lawyers admitted in a paper filing that the Obama administration had already granted three-year deportation reprieves to 100,000 people, and granted them work permits, as part of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. That program's guidelines provided only for two-year reprieves, unlike Obama's latest executive actions. PLAINTIFF: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is spearheading the lawsuit along with 25 other governors . Justice Department attorneys had previously told Hanen that the federal government wouldn't accept DACA requests with longer timeframes until Feb. 18. The judge's order came on the 16th, legally prohibiting them from issuing any three-year permits. The president's more recent attempt to mainstream illegal immigrants, announced in November, will cover 5 million or more people and will ultimately go into force unless the judiciary blocks it. The group of 26 states suing to stop Obama's immigration plan argue in their legal complaint that the government falsely claimed it hadn't implemented any part of the November plan before Hanen blocked it. Hanen's injunction had no effect on the DACA program, but his demand for a new hearing suggest he's looking at that program in addition to Obama's more recent executive actions, which concern illegal immigrant parents of American citizens born in the U.S., and other permanent residents who have been in the country for years. The government has asked him to lift the stay completely while they appeal it to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, or at least to limit the impact of his decisions to Texas. With Monday's ruling, that won't happen until at least March 19.

He said at the Iowa Ag Summit, a testing ground for potential presidential candidates, that the United States should be able to track holders of work visas the way shipping companies track parcels. 'I'm telling you,' Perry said, 'if UPS can track a box all around the world and know exactly where it is 24/7, we can give people a card and allow them in here, and say that when you hit your visa limit from the time to be in this country, we're going to know where you are.'

Rick Perry said the US government should track foreign guest workers like UPS tracks packages and deport them when their permits expire . Perry spoke at the 2015 Ag Summit, a testing ground for presidential hopefuls, in Des Moines, Iowa . SCAN IT: UPS keeps track of millions of packages around the world every day, far more than the hundreds of thousands of H1-B immigrants in the country legally at any given time . While some applauded, others grimaced. Most speakers during the morning session had harsh words for President Barack Obama's recent immigration executive actions, which promise to guarantee 5 million or more illegal immigrants that they won't be deported through the end of his White House term. But Perry distinguished himself by saying future presidents should embrace greater numbers of targeted legal immigrants. He hinted that a Perry administration in Washington would focus on 'bringing people into this country that we need, whether it's high-tech workers, or people in agriculture, hospitality or construction.' And, he added, the government would have to be 'able to identify these people \u2013 keep up with them.' Perry didn't say what kind of technology he advocated for keeping track of legal immigrants. America awards 85,000 so-called H-1B work visas, based on a computer-generated lottery system, including 20,000 with advanced academic qualifications like master's degrees or Ph.Ds. Last year the U.S. got 172,500 applications for fiscal 2015, and stopped acceepting them after just 7 days. The visa allows foreign nationals who do not intend to emigrate to the United States to work inside the country for three years, extendable to six. Many choose ultimately to stay beyond that timeframe \u2013 including all of the airline hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001. According to a recent U.S. Customs and Immigration Services report to Congress, 61 per cent of the successful applicants in 2012 worked in 'computer-related occupations.' Other categories include 'specialty occupations' such as fashion modeling and healthcare work. That year visa holders' salaries averaged $79,000. Nearly three-quarters were between the ages of 25 and 34 that year. All told there were moew than 262,500 H1-B visa holders in the country in 2012, including holdovers from previous years.

The revelation, from the respected Oxford-based Migration Observatory, comes despite a recent surge in migration which has blown apart David Cameron's election pledge to slash the number of immigrants coming to Britain. Between 2010 and 2014 just over 600,000 foreigners came to work in the UK, down from 725,000 between 2005 and 2009 under Labour . Mr Cameron pledged to reduce net migration \u2013 the difference between people moving to Britain and those leaving each year \u2013 to less than 100,000 a year by 2015.

However, the Migration Observatory has revealed that taken across the five-year parliament there has been a 16 per cent fall in the number of foreign workers moving to the UK . Madeleine Sumption, director of the independent observatory, said the migrant workforce was 'considerably smaller' now than five years ago. The data, revealed in the FT this morning, also shows that since the coalition took office there has been a rise of 40 per cent in workers from recession-hit nations in the 'old EU', such as Italy, Spain and Portugal. However, at the same time there has been a 35 per cent fall in migrants from the eight eastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004. There has also been a drop of more than a quarter in those arriving from beyond Europe.

But Edinburgh number eight Denton believes the Scots can brush off their embarrassment by lifting the Webb Ellis Cup at Twickenham on October 31. David Denton believes Scotland can bounce back from a nightmare Six Nations by winning the World Cup . Scotland have been drawn in Pool B alongside South Africa, Samoa, Japan and the US. They kick-off their World Cup bid on September 23 against the Japanese in Gloucester. Asked if he still believed the side would look to challenge the best nations in the world for the trophy, he replied: 'Yes'. Pushed further on that statement, he added: 'I understand it's hard to see. Our first goal is to get out of the pool and then give ourselves every chance of winning the World Cup. 'We never change [our views on what we can achieve]. We are in this sport to win. There is no doubt about that. There is a process to getting there - we need to get out of our pool first. Scotland were thrashed 40-10 by Ireland on their own patch at Murrayfield on Saturday . 'We're in a tough pool - it could have been worse. We have tough games particularly against South Africa and Samoa that we need to make sure we perform well in. 'It's a pool I think we can do well in and then [if] we get a favourable quarter-final we move on from there. You just need to take it one game at time and that's what we are going to do.' Scotland ended their campaign with another hard-luck story as Ireland steamrollered their way to a thrilling title triumph with a 40-10 win. And Denton admits it was not the way he saw the championships going. Scotland lost all five of their Six Nations matches in 2015 to finish at the bottom of the table . 'Today was a disappointing end to a disappointing campaign,' he said. 'We came in to this competition with a lot of ambition and the prospect of winning the trophy. We came in thinking we were a good enough team to do that. 'But a few of the results didn't go our way and today we weren't good enough. 'There are a lot of things we can improve on and we will do. 'Was it realistic to think we can win the title? One hundred per cent. There was no ambiguity about. (Coach) Vern (Cotter) said it at the start and we all believed it.

But now there's a perfect solution to those morning after woes - a top that can be worn 24 different ways in a variety of colours, without the use of any zips, ties or buttons. The Morf shirt is the brainchild of Israeli-based designer Tamara Salem, who came up with the idea as a way of bringing a playful element to her wardrobe and getting more use out of key pieces. Scroll down for video . The future of fashion? The Morf top, which was invented by Israeli-based designer Tamara Salem, can be worn 24 different ways thanks to a clever double-layered construction . Tamara told MailOnline that her invention was 'almost accidental'. 'I was making a shirt as a gift for my best friend's birthday, and I had this vague idea for a multi-layer top with a black front and white back,' she said. 'But only when I actually held it in my hands, I discovered I could flip it and get a totally black shirt, and then flip it again and get an all-white shirt. I realised then how many different options this structure offered,' she explained. A mesmerizing video on the project's Kickstarter page, which has raised a whopping $35,600 so far, shows just how the shirt works with the clever use of double-layer construction. No more outfit repeats: The shirt, which comes in red, blue or green and costs $80 (about \u00a352), is billed as the perfect solution to a morning after situation . The model in the video begins by wearing the top in plain black with a deep V-neck with grey panels on the sleeves. Then she pulls it off inside-out and puts it back on, and this time it has black and white stripes in the front and plain black sleeves. When she rolls up the sleeves, they miraculously become a bright shade of blue. Later, she turns the top inside-out yet again and it becomes grey with a neckline in black and monochrome stripes on the back. All in all, the top can be worn up to 24 different ways, providing almost an entire month of styles using just one piece of clothing. 'I believe that fashion is all about change, inviting us to re-invent ourselves,' said Tamara. 'I hope to get the attention of women who enjoy being unexpected and ever-changing.'

Brighton and Hove Council has announced it will scrap half of its coin operated parking meters in favour of people using their phones to pay for and top up their car parking. Scroll down for video . Britain appears to be moving towards a cashless society with payments by card and mobile phone predicted to outstrip those made using coins and notes for the first time this year, as Brighton becomes the latest authority to use the method as it announced it would be scrapping coin-operated parking meters . The council, which estimates it will save \u00a3250,000 from the move according to the Observer, is the latest to implement the cashless way to pay.

The popularity of non-cash payments has also been seen on the streets with an unemployed man travelling to Mayfair armed with a card machine so people can give him money using their cards. Britain is on track to make more non-cash payments - defined as paying by card, cheque, direct debit, standing order and mobile phone - than cash for the first time in 2015, according to predictions by the Payments Council. This year non-cash transactions are expected to reach 19.9billion, outstripping the predicted 19billion cash exchanges. This is forecast to happen at some point in 2015because while cash payments are remaining fairly constant, the number of non-cash payments has been steadily increasing. The growth in online shopping and the rise of new, innovative ways to pay have led to consumers turning to a growing range of payment options in recent years.

But a judge ruled yesterday that she was entitled to keep an \u00a3800,000 flat she had been given in 1995. Sunita Day, 45, (left) was disinherited by her mother Pamela Russell before her death in 2013 and everything was left to her brother Rajan Russell (right) The court heard that restaurateur Mrs Russell, who died in 2013, underwent a personality change after being diagnosed with cancer. She frittered away much of her fortune in casinos and turned against her daughter. Mrs Russell left her entire estate to Mrs Day\u2019s older brother, investment banker Rajan Russell.

Mrs Day, who made headlines when she was in her 20s for \u2018stepping out\u2019 with designer Sir Terence, 38 years her senior, said the flat had been a gift to get her on the property ladder. Before her illness her mother, to whom she had been very close, often showered her with presents, she told Central London County Court. \u2018She was always buying me things like mink coats and jewellery \u2013 you name it I had it,\u2019 Mrs Day said. \u2018I was spoilt... the flat just followed.\u2019 But she said her mother\u2019s gambling addiction turned her into \u2018a harridan with a capital H\u2019 and at one point she feared Mrs Russell would have her \u2018bumped off\u2019 to get the flat back. Her mother had given her a luxury \u00a3800,000 flat in Battersea, south London (pictured) 20 years ago but Mr Russell claimed it was part of his mother's estate .

Mr Russell, 47, denied his sister\u2019s claims. But after a four-day hearing, Judge Marc Dight ruled that Mrs Day was entitled to keep the flat, which had been \u2018freely gifted\u2019.

+{"article": "A video has emerged believed to show ISIS executioner Jihadi John ranting on camera shortly after he arrived in Syria from the UK. The footage is of two bands of fanatical fighters joining forces in 2013 under the command of notorious terrorist Omar al-Shishani. At the front stands a man thought to be Mohammed Emwazi - the west Londoner last week unmasked as the killer of Western hostages in a series of videos which have shocked the world. A man thought to be Jihadi John proclaims allegiance to a terror group in footage filmed in 2013. The video is thought to be the first known appearance by the executioner now unmasked as Mohammed Emwazi . The video is thought to have been filmed just months after Emwazi is understood to have fled Britain to take up arms alongside the extremists. It shows a pledge of allegiance made when the so-called 'Army of Muhammad Brigades' group joined forces with the so-called 'Brigade of Migrants', of which Emwazi is believed to have been a member. The speaker proclaims: 'This army announces unity within its ranks for the sake of implementing the Shariah and returning this blessed land to God the most glorified and the most high under the leadership of the emir Umar al-Shishani.' Emwazi, now 26, attempted to join al-Shabaab in Somalia after finishing his university course in London in 2009, but was refused entry to Tanzania and returned to Britain, from where he later went to Syria. He is thought to have been in a group who were among the first to go to fight in the Middle East, along with fellow Londoners Ibrahim al-Mazwagi, Choukri Ellekhlifi and Mohammad el-Araj. Ellekhlifi was two years above Emwazi in his north London school, Quinton Kynaston Academy, and later became part of a robbery gang which carried out a series of raids in central London. Ellekhlifi, 22, fled to Syria while on bail and was killed fighting near Aleppo in August 2013, months after the video thought to feature Emwazi was filmed. El-Araj, 23, was killed two weeks later during a firefight. Al-Mazwagi, from North London was 21 when he was killed in Syria in February last year. Emwazi was last week unmasked as the killer who carried as series of beheadings of Western hostages . In the film, the man thought to be Emwazi stands in front of notorious terror leader Omar al-Shishani (right) Emwazi's links to the London crime gang meant he had developed a love of violence, which led to him being chosen to feature in the beheading videos for which is now known throughout the world. In the latest video, the man suspected of being Emwazi stands at the front of a long line of gun-toting militants, with al-Shishani standing behind him arm-in-arm with two other fighters. Commenting on the likenesses of Emwazi to the speaking in the latest video to emerge, Raffaello Pantucci of the Royal United Service Institute told MailOnline: 'Given he\u2019s masked, it is difficult to make the precise connection between the two, though there are definite similarities.", "summary": "Video shows two bands of militants joining forces during Syrian war .

Vern Cotter's men host Ireland on Saturday knowing defeat will leave them with a disastrous whitewash for the third time in 11 years. But Glasgow forward Harley is taking hope from the promising spell at the end of the first half last weekend where his side stormed back from Jonathan Joseph's early score to grab a 13-10 half-time lead. Rob Harley believes Scotland can take hope from their 20-minute dominant spell over England on Saturday . Mark Bennett finished off a superb move before a pair of penalties from skipper Greig Laidlaw nudged them in front at the break. But Scotland failed to add a single point after the interval and slumped to a 25-13 defeat in London as England stepped up a level. Now Harley insists the Scots will only be able to dent Ireland's title push next weekend if they can repeat their brief moment of dominance down south for the full match at Murrayfield. He said: 'It was a very, very fast Test match on Saturday - possibly the quickest I've ever played. England came at us with huge pace and they moved the ball really well. Scotland stormed back from Jonathan Joseph's early score to grab a 13-10 half-time lead at Twickenham .

'It gives us something to build for and we can definitely take the positives from Saturday's match before hopefully ending the Championship on a high.' Harley says Scotland will take the positives from Saturday's match as they aim to avoid the wooden spoon .

George Osborne\u2019s psychiatrist brother is battling to save his career after it was revealed that he has been suspended as a doctor following serious allegations of misconduct. Adam Osborne, 38, who has a private practice in Central London, last week had his licence suspended by the General Medical Council (GMC) after being accused of having a two-year sexual affair with a highly vulnerable woman patient who has psychiatric issues, is married and has two children. The news comes five years after he was suspended by the GMC for \u2018dishonest and misleading\u2019 behaviour in prescribing drugs to his cocaine-addicted prostitute lover. The latest blow means he cannot practise in any capacity as a doctor until an investigation into the new allegations has been concluded. The suspension will prove highly embarrassing for the Chancellor, coming as he prepares for Wednesday\u2019s crucial Budget, the last before May\u2019s General Election. If the investigation results in a Fitness To Practise hearing, which is held in public, Dr Osborne could face further sensitive personal information being revealed. And if the allegations are upheld, he could be struck off. A GMC spokesman said that the interim suspension was not an indication of guilt. In the wake of the hearing, Dr Osborne\u2019s personal website was taken down. His Linkedin page states that he has a special interest in adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, personality disorders, depression and anxiety. Dr Osborne currently runs Devonport Psychiatry, which is based in Marylebone, Central London, but is officially registered to his home address in Shepherd\u2019s Bush, West London, which he shares with his wife Rahala Noor, a plastic surgeon. On Friday, blinds were drawn at the \u00a31.5 million terraced house, and although Dr Osborne was seen going in, he refused to answer the door. His Mercedes \u2013 with personalised number plates \u2013 was parked outside. Dr Osborne is the youngest brother of the Chancellor and one of four sons born to Sir Peter Osborne \u2013 who co-founded the wallpaper company Osborne & Little \u2013 and artist\u2019s daughter Felicity Loxton-Peacock. Dr Osborne\u2019s medical career has been beset by controversy since he finished his medical course at Manchester University in 2003. Family fun: Adam Osborne next to a long-haired George and brothers Benedict and Theo, with their parents in the early 1990s . His suspension in 2010 stemmed from a series of allegations surrounding his use of prescription drugs, which centred on allegations of a relationship with a prostitute. The GMC said that his \u2018relationship\u2019 with the woman had \u2018clouded his judgment\u2019 and led him to prescribe powerful anti-psychotic drugs, dishonestly use a false name and fail to inform her GP. Dr Osborne was also disciplined for prescribing contraceptive pills to his then girlfriend, Rahala, a strict Muslim who would become his wife, and an anti-smoking drug to an unnamed family member.

Sean O'Driscoll's Young Lions trailed twice, to goals from Marcus Ingvartsen and Robert Skov, but hit back through Izzy Brown, Demarai Gray and Ashley Smith-Brown to claim an important win.

Manchester City's Ashley Smith-Brown scored the winner as England's under 19s beat Denmark . With only the group winners qualifying for the tournament, it was imperative England started with a positive result in Bayeux, northern France and they did in a topsy-turvy game that saw both sides finish with 10 men. Having scored 15 goals in three matches against Belgium, Luxembourg and Belarus to breeze through the preliminary qualifying phase, England knew this week's fixture would represent a step up in quality. And they were rocked when Denmark took the lead just six minutes in - after the England defence failed to deal with a long throw-in, Ingvartsen was there to poke the ball home at the back post. England responded by seizing control of possession, but it was the half-hour mark before they equalised. Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek threaded a ball through to club-mate Brown and, brushing aside two Denmark defenders, he slotted the ball past goalkeeper Daniel Iversen. Brown came within inches of putting England in front soon after, but his powerful strike from 20 yards cannoned back off the crossbar. Izzy Brown, seen here playing for Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup, scored England's first goal . And when Fulham star Patrick Roberts teed up Loftus-Cheek, his shot was cleared off the line by Stefan Gartenmann. Given their dominance, it was frustrating that Denmark took the lead again four minutes before half-time. After a well-worked move, Skov found space just outside the box and fired past goalkeeper Angus Gunn into the far corner. To their credit, England responded immediately and it was 2-2 at the pause. Roberts swung in a free-kick from the right and Gray, the Birmingham City player, flicked in at the near post. After the excitement of the opening 45 minutes, the game entered a lull after the break before exploding to life again in the decisive final 10 minutes. Man City defender Smith-Brown collected the ball wide right, cut inside and fired home a missile from 20 yards that crashed in off the underside of the bar. The game ended with England's Harry Winks receiving a second yellow card and Denmark's Jeppe Hansen also dismissed for a bad tackle on Charlie Colkett.

Noor Ellis, 45, is facing charges carrying the death penalty after allegedly paying her maid's boyfriend to kill Robert Ellis, 60. The successful businessman's body was found in a Bali rice field in October 2014. Ellis told police her husband had neglected her and was denying her money she was entitled to - a claim that shocked family and friends who knew the couple. British man Robert Kelvin Ellis (left), here with wife Noor Ellis (right) was found in a rice paddock with his throat cut in October 2014 . 60-year-old Robert Ellis's (left) body was found wrapped in plastic with his wrists and feet bound and was dumped in a ditch in a rice field near Sedang Village. Sons Peter (centre) and John (right) now face the loss of their mother too if she gets the death penalty for their father's murder . The lawyer for their two sons, Any Aryani, says even as she faces the death penalty, Ellis is making moves to protect her inheritance. Ms Any says Ellis is now stating her religion is Hindu, even though official documents say she's Muslim. Under family law, which closely follows religious custom in Indonesia, if a Muslim woman is convicted of her husband's murder, she loses her rights to benefit from it. 'If Noor thinks \"I killed, I've been punished, but my inheritance rights remain\", well that's not possible,' Ms Any told AAP. 'We have prepared for that. 'As soon as the court states Noor is guilty of killing her husband, we will take legal measures that will ensure Noor will not get even the smallest bit of Bob's fortune.' Already in custody for his murder is his Indonesian wife of 25 years, Noor Ellis, the couple's two maids and the boyfriend of one of the maids .

The family then returned to their hometown of Kielder, Northumberland, for the wedding reception at a local pub where a fight erupted, a court heard. Karl and Jasmine Storey married at Gretna Green in October last year, hours after she gave birth to their son Anthony (pictured) Newcastle Crown Court was told that the 26-year-old had spotted his brother Dale Storey, 20, being confronted by another guest and intervened by striking a pint glass over the other man.

Official forecasts suggest the number of families paying death duties will double over the next five years unless the current threshold of \u00a3325,000 is raised. Leaked Government documents suggest that the majority of estates currently liable would be lifted out of tax under plans drawn up for the Tories. The inheritance tax cut will not feature in today's Budget because it has been blocked by the Lib Dems . The inheritance tax cut will not feature in today's Budget because it has been blocked by the Liberal Democrats. The Conservatives proposed raising the threshold to \u00a31million before the 2010 election, prompting the Labour government to allow married couples effectively to combine their allowances to \u00a3650,000. The Chancellor's plan to raise it further was killed off by the coalition with the Lib Dems, who insisted that raising the personal income tax allowance should take priority. David Cameron believes families who do not feel 'in any way mega-rich' are being dragged into the tax bracket, according to Government sources. One option is to create a new tax free band worth \u00a3175,000 per person on a family home, that could be transferred between married couples, making it worth a maximum of \u00a3350,000. The leaked documents show that by adding the existing maximum combined allowance for couples of \u00a3650,000 to the new maximum relief of \u00a3350,000, properties up to \u00a31million would escape inheritance tax. The Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable (pictured) said the Tory plan was 'very cynical' The paper, written by officials for the Conservative Treasury minister David Gauke, notes the scheme will be 'very popular with the public'. 'It will allow you to say you are exempting those with modest homes from inheritance tax (with up to \u00a31million of assets) exempted in certain circumstances,' the paper states. 'This reflects the concern raised by the public about rising house prices increasingly leading to estates with a modest house, particularly in London and the South East, paying inheritance tax.' It estimates that by 2019-20, around 20,000 fewer estates a year would be liable for any inheritance tax. Critics of the duty say that money bequeathed at death has already been taxed, so should not face further charges. They also point out that the super-rich often employ accountants to devise trusts and exemptions to reduce their liability. The Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable said the Tory plan was 'very cynical'. 'If taxes can be cut \u2013 and it's very difficult within the present budget constraint \u2013 we've got to start at the bottom with people on low pay, not at the top,' he said. A revival of the inheritance tax pledge would be another pitch to the 'grey vote' that could prove crucial in May's election.

Behind these arrests lurked a relatively young dark law: Section 66A of the Information Technology Act. Shreya decided to file a public interest litigation. A little over two years later, Justice Rohinton Nariman of the Supreme Court got up from his chair after announcing, \u201cSection 66A of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000, is hereby struck down in its entirety.\u201d Petitioner Shreya Singhal and her mother Manali Singhal were thrilled with the ruling .

+{"article": "Do you dote treat your children to a gadget or give them money when they perform well at school? According to a study, such actions could be detrimental to their development, and cause them to be more materialistic as adults. The study suggests that those who were rewarded and spoiled as children were more likely to think possessions define who we are. A study by the University of Missouri and the University of Illinois at Chicago found gifts could affect development. Adults were more likely to think possessions define who we are (stock image shown) if they were showered with rewards when they were children . The study was published in the Journal of Consumer Research and conducted by researchers Dr Marsha Richins (University of Missouri) and Dr Lan Nguyen Chaplin (University of Illinois at Chicago). 'Using material possessions to express love or reward children for their achievements can backfire,' wrote the authors in the paper called Material Parenting. 'Loving and supportive parents can unintentionally foster materialism in their children despite their best efforts to steer them away from relying on material possessions to find happiness or to judge others.' Where you live could affect how big your shopping habit is, according to new research. US scientists have found that people who live in wealthy neighbourhoods are more likely to have materialistic values and poor spending habits. And they think that young people living in particularly rich urban areas are the worst offenders. San Francisco State University\u2019s study is the first to show a connection between neighbourhood socioeconomic status and materialism. Dr Ryan Howell, Associate Professor of Psychology at the university, believes the reason for the link is because of \u2018relative deprivation,\u2019 which is the feeling someone gets when they believe they are less well-off than those around them. The authors surveyed 701 adults to measure the long-term impact of material parenting. They were asked to describe their current life situation and values, and also reported on a variety of childhood circumstances, their relationship with their parents, and the rewards and punishments they received during three critical ages of childhood . Results showed adults who had received more material rewards and punishments as children were more likely than others to use possessions to define and express who they are. And adults who received many material rewards as children were likely to continue rewarding themselves with material goods and defining themselves through their possessions. Parents should therefore be cautious about using material goods to express their love and reward their children for good behavior, warn the researchers. They say an overemphasis on material possessions during childhood can have long-lasting effects. It can pave 'the way for their children to grow up to be more likely than others to admire people with expensive possessions and judge success by the kinds of things people own,' the authors conclude.

Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty said in a statement that the tombs do sadly appear to have been looted at some point and the sarcophogi containing the bejeweled mummies were missing. 'The tomb contains many stunning scenes with bright colours painted on plaster,' Antiquities Minister Mamdouh Eldamaty said in a statement. 'Many of scenes represent the tomb owner and his wife in front of an offering table and a view of a goddess nursing a royal child as well as scenes of the daily life,' he added. The tomb was discovered by a team of American archaeologists alongside an Egyptian inspectors' team in the city of Luxor, 700 kilometres (435 miles) south of Cairo. However, the temple guard's final resting place had been vandalised for unknown reasons. The T-shaped tomb 'was deliberately damaged in ancient times,' said Sultan Eid, the ministry's general director for the Upper Egypt region. 'The name and titles of the tomb owner, some hieroglyphic texts and scenes in addition to the names of the god Amun were deliberately erased,' Eid added. The first tomb was discovered on March 2, and the second was discovered on March 10. The second tomb is believed to be that of Sa-mut and his wife, Ta-Khaeet. The first tomb meanwhile is believed to be that of Sa-Mut's father, Amenhotep. Luxor, a city of some 500,000 people on the banks of the Nile in southern Egypt, is an open-air museum of intricate temples and pharaonic tombs. Eldamaty said in a separate statement that a royal rest house belonging to King Thutmosis II, also from the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom period, had been discovered in the Suez Canal province of Ismailia. The murals depict both celebrations and everyday activity, and despite their age are still remarkably vibrant", "summary": "A team working near the historic city of Luxor has found not one, but two ancient tombs .

A man who tied a cockerel to a trap and used it as live bait to lure foxes has been convicted of cruelty. The bird was found dehydrated, emaciated and bruised all the way down to its skin from being tied up .

He claimed that a burglar had brought the bantam cockerel and had placed it in the trap - but his argument was thrown out by the district judge.

The line of recruits cower from the militants as they attempt to entice them towards the grinder. Propaganda leaflets, depicting ISIS recruits being fed into a meat grinder, have been dropped by the Pentagon in Raqqa, the self-proclaimed ISIS capital in Syria, in a bid to destabilise the extremist group . The propaganda, created by Military Information Support Operations, is aimed at destabilising connections within ISIS. 'It's trying to set the stage for an internal uprising against ISIS,' Nicholas Heras, an expert on ISIS at the Center for a New American Security told USA Today. The leaflets were dropped by an Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter, which dropped a specialized leaflet-dispenser bomb for the first time in Syria, according to Air Force spokesman Colonel Tadd Sholtis. A sign on the leaflet says 'Daish Recruiting Office' with 'Daish' another word used to describe Islamic State. The same word appears on the meat grinder. Another sign reads 'now serving 6001', and the new ISIS recruit at the front of the queue is shown dropping his ticket number as he is encouraged to step forward by one of the militants. Yesterday the US launched airstrikes against targets in Tikrit in Iraq to support Iraqi ground forces trying to push IS militants out of the country. The strikes began on Wednesday and are understood to be ongoing. The US has hundreds of military advisers in Iraq helping its security forces plan operations against the Islamic State, which occupies large chunks of northern and western Iraq. In contrast to traditional drops, forces used a specialised leaflet-dispensing bomb to drop the propaganda . Iraqi security forces and Shiite militias have battled ISIS militants in Tikrit, where smoke was seen yesterday . The leaflet drop is said to be a softer tactic being used by American forces to try and destabilise ISIS, as news of problems within the group emerge with some fighters reluctant to take part in fighting in Kobani, on the border with Turkey. Propaganda is already widely used to give daily updates about air strikes in Syria, but the Pentagon has typically kept its releases more low key. ISIS also makes use of propaganda itself, producing weekly and daily news bulletins about successful strikes and action in the country. This week the group also produced an 'idiots guide' to travelling to Syria.

With criminal syndicates having had their supply of amphetamines and cocaine severely affected by a record number of busts, they have increasingly focused on the body-building market and are being supplied by underworld gangs in south-east Asia and the Americas. The steroid market is now considered so lucrative, outlaw bikie gangs have muscled in on the illegal industry and they're using extraordinary methods to try and avoid detection, including place the substances inside sex aid packaging like these, labelled 'gay lube oil' Australian Police say bikie gangs have now shifted focus heavily into the steroid market as authorities crack down on cocaine and amphetamine crime syndicates . Some estimate the illegal market in steroids across Australia could be worth up to a billion dollars with Australians spending almost $10 billion on fitness each year . Over the past decade, the number of performance and image enhancing drugs detected at the Australian border has increased 7-fold, with South Australia recording the biggest percentage increase. Motorcycle gangs are trying to avoid detection by putting steroid oil inside products labelled 'sexual lubrication' 'They are getting amongst it more and more, it's a different market for them and we are regularly staging operations targeting them and steroids,' revealed Detective Superintendent Mick Niland, the head of Queensland's Taskforce Maxima. 'They try many different ways to avoid detection, that's for sure.' And that's because there is an increasing demand for the illegal performance enhancing substances, one which continues to grow every year. At one Gold Coast health clinic alone, there have been up to 150 steroid injections reported in one month. Queensland and New South Wales are considered the hot-beds in steroid production and trade with South Australia, reporting the biggest (percentage) increase in the number of seizures in a year, registering just 1 in 2012 and then 30 in 2013. 'Half of our seizures in the past few months have been about steroids,' Dept Supt Niland added. 'They are always trying different ways to avoid detection,' said Mick Niland of Tasforce Maxima as his group battles against the increasing trade in steroids by bikie gangs and the methods used to avoid detection .

A Chinese university professor has created a series of vivid portraits of well-known figures using tiny pieces of jeans, reported the People's Daily Online. The largest of all, an image of a Buddha, measures two metres (6.6ft) in height and comprises more than 10,000 pieces of denim. Wang Xiaolei, an associate professor at Wuhan Textile University, started creating what he calls \u2018denim paintings\u2019 after visiting a town in China in 2007 which specialised in processing off-cut cloth pieces but had a terrible effect on the surrounding environment in doing so. Creativity: Wang Xiaolei, working on a portrait of Audrey Hepburn, embarked on the unusual endeavour of 'painting' with unwanted denim after witnessing how scrap cloth factories destroy the environment . Variety: Mr Wang's paintings cover a wide range of figures from Chairman Mao to David Beckham (centre) Vividness: The professor's interpretation of Zhang Yimo (left), a famous Chinese film director, and Mo Yan (right), a Nobel Prize-winning Chinese author . His interest was strengthen after an academic visit to the University of Manchester in 2008, during which he learned more ways of recycling scrap cloth. Since then, Mr Wang has collected tens of thousands of old jeans for experimenting with his art. He says denim has a three-dimensional quality so it is easy to make shapes with. To make a portrait, he first cuts jeans into large pieces and separates these pieces into different colour shadings. Then he goes into a trail-and-error stage of setting out the outlines and establishing the different shades of colours of the particular picture, and this could take more than 100 alterations to get right. Fashion: Mr Wang's unique style has created a trend among his students at Wuhan Textile University who regularly paint with him in the studio.

Extended periods of concentration on these denim collages, separating the cloth into almost identical shades of colour, has also resulted in his eyes almost always being bloodshot. Mr Wang\u2019s hard work finally paid off when his paintings attracted the attention of a director of the Cultural University of Japan, who invited the denim warrior to hold an exhibition in Japan.

Proposals have been put forward to build the mega route stretching about 12,400 miles from the western edge of Russia to the Bering Strait where the country nudges Alaska. Linking into existing road networks in Europe and Asia, for the first time it would allow travellers a proper highway to drive all way from the UK to the United States. A Trans-Siberian rail link as well as oil and gas pipes would run alongside the highway, and plans have been mooted already for a rail tunnel connecting the far flung Russian region of Chukotka - where football tycoon Roman Abramovich once served as governor - and Alaska. By jumping on the Channel Tunnel you could get all the way from London to Alaska by road under plans for a more than 12,000 mile superhighway linking Europe and western Russia to the Bering Strait . While roads exist across much of Russia some are of dismal quality, especially in the east of the country. Among these is the notorious Road of Bones built by Stalin's political prisoners. This new scheme is seen as a way of turning Russia into a global transportation hub, a bridge between Europe, Asia and North America, so revitalising the Russian economy and attracting new tourism. Vladimir Fortov, the Head of the Russian Academy of Science, recently put forward the uncosted plan dubbed the Trans-Eurasian Belt Development (TEPR) to President Vladimir Putin. 'The project is very ambitious and expensive, but it will solve many problems in the development of the vast region,' he said, according to The Siberian Times. The current longest continuous road in the world is found in Australia, where Highway 1 runs around the entire country and spans some 9,000 miles.

Not for the Las Fallas festival (a huge affair every March when giant papier-mache figures of politicians are burned amid lively street celebrations), but for its other claim to fame - it is the home of paella. Luis is a top chef who leads paella-making classes. But first I have to get the ingredients. Dinner is served: Paella originated in Valencia, using ingredients which could be sourced cheaply and locally . The central market is in a glorious art nouveau building in the old quarter, with more than 500 stalls selling every Spanish food imaginable. I buy an 'arrangement' of rabbit and chicken portions from a butcher. Then I choose three different types of beans. Paella Valenciana was created from what was easily available to local farmers. This meant rice from the local paddy fields, and beans, rabbit and chicken from their land. It's wrong to add peas, as we Brits do, apparently. Under Luis's watchful eye, I learn how to chop the meat and cook it and the beans in different parts of the pan. I sieve fresh tomato and dabble in smoked pimento for flavour. The secret is about how to put the rice into the water. Luis tells me to add it in two straight lines in the form of a cross (seemingly, for perfect absorption). I add fresh rosemary, remembering to remove it after ten minutes. It seems to work and in around 20 minutes my glossy, golden rice dish is complete. Delicious, though I say so myself. Luis awards me my diploma: I am now a 'paella ambassador'. If you want to know more about this famous dish and its variations, contact Patrick Waller. Originally from Bromley, he moved to Valencia 23 years ago when he fell in love with a local, Julia Espin. A real mixed bag: True paella can contain seafood and rabbit - but should never feature peas . They run the Paella Project, taking in all aspects of buying fresh produce at the market, cooking classes, wine tastings and a visit to Xativa in the hills with lessons and meal preparation outdoors. You can also explore the famous rice fields of the Albufera National Park, just 15 minutes outside Valencia. They blew me away. You can take a boat trip on the vast lagoon or enjoy the pine-fringed, wild beaches and restaurants of nearby El Saler village. Valencia has fantastic white beaches, too, just five minutes from the city centre. There are endless orange tree patios (proper orange juice everywhere); walks along the former Turia riverbed; the Unesco listed Lonja (silk hall), which dates to1548; and superb shopping, including five El Corte Ingles department stores.

The photographic evidence, which was published on the Australian Mammalogy, captured a rare moment of the predator preying on an adult female Tasmanian pademelon. Pademelons or rufous wallaby species, which are small marsupials with a relatively short tale and legs, are found in thick scrubland across Tasmania. But the furry creatures are at an alarmingly high rate of extinction in Australia as it continues to be wiped out because of its\u2019 perfectly \u2018meal-size\u2019 portion for their predators. A camera survey has captured a rare moment between a feral cat (right) preying on a pademelon (left) One of Australia\u2019s leading researchers, scientist Bronwyn Fancourt found compelling evidence of predation risk after conducting a camera survey in the Woodvine Nature Reserve in south-east of Tasmania. The camera captured a pademelon scouring through grassland but four minutes later, a feral cat leapt into the frame as it pounced on its victim about 7.50pm on October 23. Biting the pademelon around its neck, the cat then dragged the carcass out of the frame as it devoured most of the abdominal organs. The Pademelon was seen scouring through grassland before the cat pounced on top and attacked it to death . The cat is seen biting into the pademelon's neck and throat, killing the marsupial instantly . The cat eventually dragged the carcass back into view almost eight hours later. The pademelon\u2019s head and body were left intact, along with her feet, arms, pouch and tail. The predator pulls the carcass out of the screen again but returns into the frame a minute later to clean its paw and face after consuming its meal before running away. Fancourt, from the University of Tasmania said her observation provides direct evidence that feral cats are competent of killing their prey at up to four kilograms in body mass. The abdominal cavity rips open and the cat continues devouring through the abdominal organs . The sex of the species also demonstrates that medium-sized pedemelons such as adult females and juveniles are at high risk of being eaten than the larger adult male marsupials. The research found not only do feral cats hunt and kill their prey but they tend to scavenge on carcasses after it had been killed by another predator such as foxes or dingoes. Despite the photo evidence, Fancourt said a single observation does not prove feral cats are entirely responsible for the extinct species, adding foxes may have been the \u2018primary causes of population decline\u2019.", "summary": "Photo evidence could indicate feral cats are behind alarming extinctions .

Margie Abbott conducted an exclusive interview with the latest edition of The Australian Women's Weekly . The pair first met on a blind date at a Sydney tavern around 1987 - and six months later he would propose to her in an inner-Sydney restaurant, the pair celebrating with French champagne. 'I think we'd both pretty quickly made the decision that we'd met somebody we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with,' Mrs Abbott told the Weekly. The interview was a rare public moment of candour for Mrs Abbott, who has mostly managed to keep out of the limelight throughout her husband's federal political career of more than two decades. However, she has become noticeably more prominent in Mr Abbott's public appearances since he faced the humiliating prospect of a leadership spill motion in mid-February.

Scientists at the University of T\u00fcbingen in Germany have found that colonies of two types of bacteria can grow on a mineral called magnetite. They found one species of bacteria could dump electrons onto the crystals while another harvested the electrons from them depending on the amount of sunlight they received. Scientists have found that colonies of two types of bacteria can grow on a mineral called magnetite. Magnetite is an iron (III) oxide mineral that forms smooth black crystals, like those shown above, in rock. One species of bacteria dumped electrons while another harvested from them depending on levels of sunlight . The scientists said that in the wild this may allow the magnetite crystals to act like natural rechargeable batteries for the bacteria. The findings has raised hopes that these 'batteries' could be used to help develop new sources of energy, although the charge they currently hold is minute. 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. Dr James Byrne, who led the work at the University of T\u00fcbingen, said bacteria could be genetically engineered to increase this activity. 'In our study we only looked at iron metabolising bacteria, but we speculate that it might be possible for other non-iron metabolising organisms to use magnetite as a battery as well - or if they can be made to use it, through genetic engineering,' he said. 'Could engineering the bacteria increase the energy production or is it limited by the magnetite itself? 'The magnetite itself will only hold a maximum number of electrons, which is one of the limiting factors. 'However, the bacteria access these electrons through specialized enzymes known as cyctochromes. 'In principle, if the bacteria could be engineered with more of these electron carriers, then it could increase the speed at which they use the magnetite as a battery. 'It is probably not something that could be used for an application in the immediate future though.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal Science, incubated a species of purple bacteria called Rhodopseudomonas palustris, which is found in soil, and another bacterium called Geobacter sulfurreducens.

An investigation into a hospital where four women died in 12 months before or during childbirth has found a series of concerns, it has been revealed. Inspectors from the NHS's London clinical senate found that staff at Homerton Hospital, Hackney, were slow at recognising patients were deteriorating, and identified breakdowns in communication. Their report identified common themes in some but not all of the deaths, including a lack of involvement from consultants. The findings came after two unannounced inspections by the Care Quality Commission, following the death of a fifth woman in January this year, reports the Evening Standard. The first fatality occurred in 2013, when Pat Williams passed away following a Caesarean section procedure which she elected to have. A subsequent report found that she was over 40, obese, had previously miscarried and had a large fibroid in her uterus. Adeline Keh, 40, was the next to die in October the same year after she contracted a fatal infection following a Caesarean at Homerton. She was transferred from the east London medical centre to a specialist heart and lung unit in Cambridge, but died after she refused a blood transfusion because she was a Jehova's Witness. A report into her death found that her refusal 'may have compromised the final medical intervention' in order to save her life. It was listed as a cause of death alongside acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis and an infection of the Caesarean wound. The third and fourth deaths occurred in March and June last year, at which point the CQC began investigating, and the London clinical senate was called in after a fifth death in January this year. Such deaths are extremely rare - therefore it was viewed as unusual for a single hospital to have so many deaths in a short period. Adeline Keh, 40, was one of five to die at the hospital, four of which perished in 12 months. She contracted an infection after a Caesarean, and refused a blood transfusion because she was a Jehova's Witness .

The parents of a teenage Army recruit who died from a gunshot wound at Deepcut Barracks have accused the police of deliberately delaying an inquest into her death. Private Cheryl James, 18, was one of four young soldiers who died in unexplained shootings at the Surrey base between 1995 and 2002. After fighting for justice for 20 years, her parents won the right to hold a new inquest after Surrey Police were forced to hand over tens of thousands of pages of previously concealed evidence. They believe the new documents could provide the truth behind how their daughter died after years of speculation, including fears she was murdered or driven to commit suicide after being sexually assaulted. It is understood the evidence could quash Ministry of Defence claims that Pte James took her own life and could lead to a criminal trial.

A boy who attacked and killed a teenager after interpreting his Gangnam-Style dance as 'racist' has been jailed for eight months. Jordan Brennan, 17, had broken into the dance made famous by South Korean artist Psy at a corner shop in Gorton, Manchester. But it enraged the other boy, 16, who was shopping in the same store and thought his South East Asian ethnicity was being mocked. After claiming Jordan bumped into him as he spun round, the 16-year old attacker, who was with his girlfriend, tried to stop the victim and ordered him to apologise - but the pair became involved in a tussle. As they struggled near the doorway, Jordan fell back and hit his head on metal shutters outside the shop before his head hit the concrete floor below. The attacker then kicked him in the legs before returned to his shopping. College student Jordan got to his feet and walked home not realising he had suffered a serious head injury in the bust up. He was found lifeless in bed at 9am the following morning when his mother Kim tried to raise him for breakfast. Tests showed he had suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. At Manchester Crown Court on Friday, the killer, now 17, was jailed for eight months. The teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had earlier admitted manslaughter after his not guilty plea to murder was accepted. The tragedy occurred at around 7.30pm on Friday October 10 when Jordan who attended Manchester College and described as 'polite, very bubbly, happy-go-lucky type of lad' was with two friends. They went into the N.A Grocer shop on an errand but inside he began doing the Gangnam style dance and within 17 seconds there was a 'flashpoint' between him and the other teenager. Discussing the tragedy at NA Grocers, Mr Hall said CCTV in the shop captured Jordan 'dancing' in the shop before an argument took place. Weeping was audible from a public gallery packed full of Jordan's family and friends throughout prosecutor Rob Hall's opening address. He said: 'In a relatively short period of time, the defendant is in the queue at the checkout, Jordan is waiting around while others are in the check out queue and while he is waiting he proceeds to dance. 'That dance was accompanied by a reference to the well-known song Gangnam Style. 'It appears that this defendant perceived that dancing and reference as being a racist slur upon him. Jordan is of good character and so to that extent there is nothing to suggest he had racist intentions in any way. 'Needless to say that raised the defendant and he began to remonstrate about what happened. As they went to the exit door the two came into physical contact with the defendant raising his hands and pushing and pulling and in effect the physical contact put Jordan to", "summary": "Jordan Brennan broke into dance at a corner shop in Gorton, Manchester .

'This child has the best chance at a normal adult life by receiving the therapy and education she needs and residing in the setting of her current foster home,' he said. A 15-year-old girl (left) and her 11-year-old sister (right) have not been charged with murder after the eldest girl fatally shot her 16-year-old brother at their Florida home in January.

New ultrasound images show how babies of mothers who smoke during pregnancy touch their mouths and faces much more than babies of non-smoking mothers. Foetuses normally touch their mouths and faces much less the older and more developed they are. Experts said the scans show how smoking during pregnancy can mean the development of the baby's central nervous system is delayed. Doctors have long urged pregnant women to give up cigarettes because they heighten the risk of premature birth, respiratory problems and even cot death. Now researchers believe they can show the effects of smoking on babies in the womb - and use the images to encourage mothers who are struggling to give up. Scroll down for video . Image shows the 4-D ultrasound scan of two foetuses at 32 weeks gestation, one whose mother was a smoker (top) and the other carried by a non-smoker (bottom). The foetus carried by the smoker touches its face and mouth much more, indicating its development is delayed . As part of the study, Dr Nadja Reissland, of Durham University, used 4-D ultrasound scan images to record thousands of tiny movements in the womb. She monitored 20 mothers attending the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, four of whom smoked an average of 14 cigarettes a day. After studying their scans at 24, 28, 32 and 36 weeks, she detected that foetuses whose mothers smoked continued to show significantly higher rates of mouth movement and self-touching than those carried by non-smokers. Foetuses usually move their mouths and touch themselves less as they gain more control the closer they get to birth, she explained. The pilot study, which Dr Reissland hopes to expand with a bigger sample, found babies carried by smoking mothers may have delayed development of the central nervous system. Dr Reissland said: 'A larger study is needed to confirm these results and to investigate specific effects, including the interaction of maternal stress and smoking.' She believed that videos of the difference in pre-birth development could help mothers give up smoking. Dr Nadja Reissland, of Durham University, said the ultrasound scans show unborn babies of mothers who smoke may have delayed development of their central nervous systems . But she was against demonising mothers and called for more support for them to give up. Currently, 12 per cent of pregnant women in the UK smoke but the rate is over 20 per cent in certain areas in the North East. All the babies in her study were born healthy, and were of normal size and weight. Dr Reissland, who has an expertise in studying foetal development, thanked the mothers who took part in her study, especially those who smoked. 'I'm really grateful, they did a good thing,' she said. 'These are special people and they overcame the stigma to help others.'

At 91, Lord Bramall \u2013 the latest VIP to be dragged into the sex abuse inquiry \u2013 is the oldest and most respected of Britain's eight living Field Marshals. He stepped down as Chief of Defence Staff in 1985 after four decades spent climbing the ranks from 2nd Lieutenant right to the pinnacle of Britain's armed forces. Lord Bramall first saw action on the Normandy beaches the day after D-Day, when he was shelled. Everyone else in his vehicle died but he managed to crawl out. At first he thought he was on fire, but in fact he was badly wounded and was sent back to Britain for treatment. Lord Bramall returned to his unit just five weeks later and was leading a patrol on the Dutch-Belgian border when he was ambushed. Rather than flee, he led a counter-attack, and managed to wound two Germans and take another one captive. He was later awarded the Military Cross for his actions by Field Marshal Montgomery himself. He led the Royal Green Jackets in Borneo in 1965, commanded British forces in Hong Kong in the 1970s and was made head of the Army in 1979. Lord Bramall held that role during the Falklands War of 1982, and was a strong admirer of Margaret Thatcher. 'A wonderful war leader,' he said, 'probably even better than Churchill'.

She would forever call him 'my baby' \u2013 even when phoning his office while he was head of the Army. He captained Eton's cricket team, had two pictures displayed at the Royal Academy, and to his mother's chagrin, turned down a place at Oxford to join the Army.

Flames consumed exterior walls after crews spread bales of hay and fuel to ignite flames throughout the expansive home. Neighbor Steve Mellgren told WFAA: 'It's getting larger... it's getting wider... it's getting deeper' The Corps of Engineers said Tuesday it will work to 'keep things as safe as possible in the area until the danger has subsided' The ground around the home cracked and became unstable until a part of the land gave way beneath the 4,000-square-foot home, leaving pieces of the house dangling off the side of a cliff. Authorities condemned the home and the owners, Robert and Denise Webb, consented to the burn. Authorities said destroying the house was better than waiting for it to topple into Lake Whitney. The cost of removing mounds of debris from the lake could prove prohibitive. Spectators in dozens of boats witnessed the demolition from a safe distance.

Brendan Rodgers says he\u2019s relaxed but I find that hard to believe. He won\u2019t want to lose Sterling, a talent that he can rightly be proud of, and justifiably claim he has helped turn into a star quality player. But I can\u2019t understand why Liverpool have consistently put the message out that there will not be a problem with the Sterling situation. The outcome of that policy is that Sterling looks greedy \u2013 why do the football club want to make one of their star players look bad in the eyes of the supporters? Raheem Sterling's contract situation at Liverpool is unlikely to be resolved until the summer . Sterling and his representatives are understood to have knocked back the latest \u00a3100,000-a-week offer . Chelsea look knackered... Jose Mourinho must start putting his faith in youth or he'll blow the Premier League . If you view Wayne Rooney as anything other than a fantastic player then you have no passion for football . So now there is a situation locally with fans and the press are questioning his representatives, with the Liverpool Echo declaring this week that Sterling \u2018needs to ask who is looking after his best interests.\u2019 The answer to that question is simple. In football terms, Liverpool have looked after him. In the same way QPR looked after him before he was snapped up by the Reds, and in the same way Real Madrid might look after him if they choose to pay big money. Liverpool Football Club can\u2019t expect too much loyalty from a player who was happy to leave QPR after seven years at Loftus Road. What goes around comes around, I guess. In financial terms - his agent is looking after his best interests, obviously. He\u2019s got a family, he wants to set himself up comfortably for the rest of his life, and I can\u2019t think of a reason why a player shouldn\u2019t be allowed to do that. Brendan Rodgers says he is relaxed about Sterling's contract situation at Liverpool . Sterling left QPR after seven years at the club . Sterling\u2019s contract runs out in 2017 and there is no way Liverpool will want this impasse to continue. If he even approaches the final year of his current deal without this being resolved, Liverpool could lose out. The days of a player accepting less than he feels he is worth because he is at a great club that gave him a big opportunity are long gone. It\u2019s naive to think otherwise. A five-year deal of \u00a3100,000 a week has been rejected by Sterling. Daniel Sturridge is on \u00a3150,000 a week. Is there a reason why Sterling shouldn\u2019t be on the same as Sturridge? Sterling is younger, but I\u2019m not sure why age should come into it.

The flare peaked at 12.22pm EDT (4.22pm GMT) yesterday and was watched by the orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). This flare was the most powerful of the year so far, and is predicted to cause a geomagnetic storm on Earth tomorrow following blackouts today. Scroll down for video . Space weather experts in Colorado, US issued a warning on a solar flare. It was the biggest eruption of the year and peaked at 4.22pm GMT yesterday (shown) This flare was classified as an X2.2-class flare. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength. An X2 is twice as intense as an X1, an X3 is three times as intense, and so on. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation, but harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However, when intense enough, they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel. This flare was emitted from Active Region 12297 (AR12297) on the sun. According to the US Space Weather Prediction Centre (SWPC) in Boulder, Colorado, the flare caused an hour-long blackout in some high-frequency radio communications over some areas.

The charged particles can also threaten airlines by disturbing the Earth\u2019s 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. \u2018An R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout peaked at 1622 UTC (12:22pm EDT) today, March 11,\u2019 they said in a statement.. \u2018This is yet another significant solar flare from Active Region 12297 as it marches across the solar disk. \u2018This is the largest flare the region has produced so far, after producing a slew of R1 (Minor) and R2 (Moderate) Radio Blackouts over the past few days.\u2019 They also note that ejections of material associated with the flare - known as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) - are predicted to arrive today and tomorrow. \u2018The combined effects of these storms have prompted a G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm watch to be issued, with the possibility of additional or upgraded watches if/when additional data can be analysed,\u2019 they wrote.

The treatment itself is a mix of craniosacral therapy, psychic insights and Chi Nei Tsang - an ancient Taoist abdominal massage that releases blocked energy. As I lay fully clothed on a massage table, Paul scanned my body without touching it, and occasionally pressed a point which was excruciating. At other times, he appeared to pull invisible 'strings' from my body - stuck energy, apparently.

The therapy is said to address the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. According to Paul, these aspects are so intricately intertwined and connected that a physical problem may have its roots in an emotional difficulty.

The 31-year-old, from Pyrmont in Sydney, only ever eats his perfectly-portioned snacks with a knife and fork complete with a napkin tucked under his chin to avoid any mess. A self-confessed control freak, it doesn't bother Dean if he gets strange looks for his bizarre snacking rituals which include cutting all his food into bite-size portions and using cutlery for absolutely everything he eats - even the tiniest of items such as nuts and sultanas. Dean is a structured snacker who admits his obsessive behaviour can become quite tiresome and impact on his everyday life. And it seems he's not the only one obsessed with snacking as new statistics show Australians crave snacking more than spending time between the sheets or cuddles with their partners. Dean Zahariadis (right), with his girlfriend Claire Smith (left), must eat all of his food with a knife and fork . Almost two thirds feel the urge to satisfy their stomachs more than their sexual needs with a survey by snack food Wonderful Pistachios revealing that only 49 per cent have the strong desire to be intimate with their loved ones and a mere 39 per cent prefer cuddles over pigging out. Dean, who was diagnosed with a mild case of obsessive compulsive disorder in his first year of university, thinks it's because food is more readily available than sex. But he would still choose being intimate with girlfriend Claire Smith over his structured snacks. 'I think it might be a case of we just generally crave food more often than intimacy because it's more readily available and we need to more regularly,' he said. Australian Clinical Psychologist and Mind and Body Expert Leanne Hall said snacking and craving is alluring because it satisfies the pleasure sensors in your brain. 'We tend to use it as a way to make us feel good - whereas intimacy can do the same thing but it depends on the partner doesn't it?' she said. 'Some people say they would rather a block of chocolate over their partner which is a bit concerning.' A manager at Social Brew cafe, Dean must have six saucers perfectly lined up ready to go at at all times . Dean has to cut everything exactly the same size - even if it is for the customers at work .

+{"article": "Olivier Giroud strutted out of St James' Park and was the last player to board Arsenal's team bus, having been first to pretty much everything else for his team during a hard-earned win on Tyneside. It brought two more goals for the Frenchman against Newcastle. That's 17 in 26 games this season and 10 in his last 12, one of the best strike rates in Europe. While Harry Kane is cherished by supporters down the road at Tottenham, some Arsenal fans have yet to embrace Giroud fully. The statistics speak for themselves, however. Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has been dubbed 'world class' by his manager Arsene Wenger . The Frenchman scored two goals for Arsenal as the Gunners ran out 2-1 winners against Newcastle United . Wenger believes that Giroud has developed significantly since joining Arsenal back in 2012 . Olivier Giroud now has eight goals in six games against Newcastle, including scoring with all five headers on target against them in the Premier League. And even though Giroud is 29 in September, Arsene Wenger believes the best is yet to come from a 6ft 4in striker who developed late and was still playing lower league football in France as recently as 2010. Asked if Giroud is world-class, Wenger said: 'I think so and he is scoring the goals to prove it. But I believe there is still room for improvement. 'Technically, he is a much better player than he was. His touch, his link play, his finishing, they have all improved. If you saw footage of him when he first arrived and now, it is obvious he is a better player. 'He is a fighter as well and a player with good mental strength. At 22 or 23 he played in Division Three in France, and now he is at Arsenal.' Giroud is refusing to write off Arsenal's chances of a late push for the Premier League title this season . Giroud's goals gave Arsenal a sixth straight league win and kept them on the fringe of the title race. But you wonder how much closer they would be had he not spent three months on the sidelines after breaking his leg at Everton in August. Wenger's side won only three of nine league games in his absence. While retaining the FA Cup would appear to represent their best chance of a trophy this season, the former Montpellier man has not given up the title chase just yet. 'We need to win every game and that's what we want to do \u2014 step by step,' said Giroud. 'You never know if City or Chelsea will miss one of these steps. We've got to be here with great belief and faith.' Giroud's brace against Newcastle has brought his tally for the season up to 17 goals in 26 games . Arsenal still had to hold on in the face of a fierce second-half fightback from Newcastle that revived memories of a famous 4-4 draw in 2011. It was not enough to prevent a third defeat in a row for the home side,", "summary": "Olivier Giroud scored twice in Arsenal's 2-1 win over Newcastle .

Despite being backed by showbusiness superstars, Tidal was the most talked about topic in the world on Twitter yesterday, with thousands branding it \u2018greedy\u2019, \u2018out of touch\u2019, \u2018cynical\u2019 and \u2018money grabbing\u2019. Many critics said they felt cheated \u2013 thinking the stars had gathered to launch a new charity campaign rather than a project to swell their bank accounts even further. The music streaming service is the brainchild of rapper Jay Z, 45, who along with his wife Beyonc\u00e9, 33, is worth almost $1billion (\u00a3676million). At one point 18 of the biggest names in music took to the stage to launch the enterprise. Pictured: Usher, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Deadmau5, Kanye West, Jay Z, and J.Cole at the event . Streaming enables fans to listen to songs or watch music videos online, without having to buy or download them permanently on to their computers. Such services have vast libraries of songs, with one of the most popular firms \u2013 Spotify \u2013 boasting more than 30million tracks to listen to. But Spotify and other competitors provide their services for free \u2013 offering musicians a nominal amount for including their tracks on their libraries. Many of the world\u2019s leading musicians are now starting to turn against such deals, saying they are not earning enough from them. US pop star Taylor Swift famously pulled all her music off Spotify last year. The 25-year-old wrote at the time: \u2018Music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album\u2019s price point is. I hope they don\u2019t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art\u2019. Tidal now offers fans a rival service, providing a huge library of music for users to listen to, but charging a minimum of \u00a39.99 a month. On Monday, almost 20 multi-millionaire artists gathered on stage in the Big Apple to lend their support. The line-up included rap star Kanye West, 37, Nicki Minaj, 32, and Usher, 36 \u2013 along with pop royalty Madonna 56, and Rihanna, 27.

A recently translated ancient Egyptian tax receipt has revealed that it probably took more than 220lbs (100kg) of coins to settle just one wealthy person's bill. The tax receipt was written in Greek on a piece of pottery that is said to date back to 22 July 98 BC. A recently translated ancient Egyptian tax receipt (pictured) has revealed that it provably took more than 220lbs (100kg) of coins to settle one wealthy person's bill. Although it is difficult to calculate what it would have been worth in modern-day terms, estimates place it in the region of $1,670 (\u00a31,120) The person, whose name is unreadable, paid a land transfer tax of 75 talents, which was a unit of currency, as well as a fee of 15 talents on top, reports LiveScience. The pottery receipt shows that the tax was paid in coins, which were hauled to a bank in the city of Diospolis Magna, also known as Luxor or Thebes. Brice Jones, a PhD student at Concordia University in Montreal who translated the text, said that the bill was \u2018incredibly large\u2019. As paper money didn\u2019t exist and there were no coins as large as one talent, the payees of the bill would have had to make up the sum using drachmas, where 6,000 of the coins equalled one talent. A stock image of a silver drachma dating to the 3rd century BC is shown . It may seem incredible that such a rigid tax system continued to function at a time of political infighting. Politics were deadly in 98BC. Pharaoh Ptolemy X, who was part of a dynasty of pharaohs who ruled Egypt after the death of Alexander the Great, had fought against his brother for the throne and some sources say he killed his own mother to keep a firm grip on power. Despite his best efforts, in 89BC his army mutinied and he was killed the following year, leaving his brother to take over the running of the region. As paper money didn\u2019t exist and there were no coins as large as one talent, the payees of the bill would have had to make up the sum using drachmas, where 6,000 of the coins equalled one talent. Consequently, 540,000 drachma were needed to settle the tax bill written on the receipt. Although it is difficult to calculate what this would have been worth in modern-day money, estimates suggest it would have been around $1,670 (\u00a31,120). Catharine Lorber, an expert in Egyptian coins, explained that the highest denomination coin was probably worth just 40 drachma, so 13,500 of them would have been needed to pay the bill. \u2018The coins in question weigh, on average, 8 grams (0.3 ounces), so the total payment of 90 talents probably had a weight in excess of 100 kilograms (220 lbs),\u2019 she said. The people charged with collecting the money, known as tax farmers, would have had to ring the heavy load to the bank,", "summary": "Tax receipt written in Greek on pottery is dated to 22 July, 98BC .

John Mann, a member of the Treasury committee, said last night: \u2018He lives in a different world from the rest of us. People on lower incomes would suffer.

James Daley of consumer group Fairer Finance said his latest comments were \u2018pie in the sky\u2019, adding: \u2018To try and scrap the free in-credit banking system we have now would be incredibly unpopular. 'No government would legislate for it \u2013 it would be a vote loser because more people benefit from it [free banking] than lose out\u2019.

A headteacher who advised Gordon Brown and David Cameron's governments on education pocketed almost \u00a37,000 of school cash and stole expensive equipment, a court heard today. Timothy Royle is alleged to have falsely reported how bursary funds were spent over the three years leading up to his retirement from Highdown School and Sixth Form Centre in 2012. All the while, he was keeping the cash and taking home cameras, a MacBook Pro laptop, an iMac computer and a set of speakers and headphones, a court heard. The 64-year-old was appointed as one of the first national leaders in education, awarded to headteachers of outstanding schools who advise the Government on policy and help other struggling schools. He joined the Reading-based school, Berkshire, in 1998 and is accused of pocketing \u00a32,000 in 2008, \u00a32,246 the following year and \u00a32,550 in 2010. Prosecuting, John Law told the jury at Reading Crown Court: 'This defendant is accused of offences of fraud and of theft. 'He was the headteacher of a school and we say he abused the status he had and the school had, by keeping public monies for his own benefit. 'He also took when retiring from the school items with him that he was not entitled to.' The court heard alarm bells were sounded by the school business manager after Royle retired and an investigation was launched. Mr Law told the jury: 'You will hear in this case about something called the National College for Teaching and Leadership. This case is about payments that the public body paid to Highdown School. 'Mr Royle was recognised for his work and selected as a national leader of education. The school was given national support school status. High performing schools assist others, so monies are available in association with that.' The court was told that the school was entitled to bursary grants between 2008 and 2010, which helped cover the costs of sending staff to other schools and to training days. Nicholas Syfret QC, defending, said that Royle had been 'instrumental' in improving the previously failing school, so much so the arts building was named in his honour. Mr Law said: 'The payments were applied for and made directly into a business account in Mr Royle's name. After that, he had to file a report at the end of the year to say where the money had been spent.

Joseph Clancy, newly-installed director of the agency, made the admission in a stormy session in front of Congress as he tried to get their approval to build a replica White House for agents to practice protecting the president.

Those who swim tend to make the best lovers, are tidy and are also the most charitable, although according to Mindlab, 61 per cent of adults are fond of charity regardless of their choice of sport. Walkers, a category that includes those who enjoy rambling, orienteering and trekking, are least concerned about material possessions and like their own company. 'It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also your mind,' comments neuropsychologist, Dr David Lewis. Extrovert: Runners such as Mo Farah tend to be extroverts with a taste for upbeat music . The research claims cyclists love shopping and vote Liberal Democrat . 'Past research has shown that exercising can act as a mood-enhancer, can be used to treat and possibly even prevent anxiety and generally has a positive effect on mental health. 'The results from this study show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for everyone.' The study, which was commissioned by the British Heart Foundation to mark the launch of its 2015 series of events, also found that favourite sports vary by area. Thus in Birmingham and London, cycling is the sport of choice for most while running wins the race in Leeds and Newcastle. Swimming was most popular in Cardiff, Dublin and Manchester, while walking was most loved in Bristol, Glasgow, Norwich and Nottingham.

Joseph Lawton, described as an \u2018exemplary student\u2019, was found in his family\u2019s farmhouse alongside a shotgun and a police charge sheet. Joseph, 17, was caught drink-driving on his way home from a party just four weeks after passing his driving test.

Two days later he used his father\u2019s shotgun to kill himself at the \u00a3850,000 family farm in Disley, Stockport. The charge sheet and a letter were at his feet when his father found him. Following his death, his parents Nick and Jane Lawton successfully lobbied the Government to change the law so that 17-year-olds are treated as children in custody. An inquest into Joseph\u2019s death heard the model pupil \u2013 who had recently gained one A and four Bs in his AS-Levels \u2013 was working on his university application and travel plans and had shown no signs of depression or anxiety.

He thought he\u2019d ruined his future and he wouldn\u2019t be able to reach the standards he wanted to reach.\u2019 Joseph\u2019s family did not know of his drink-driving arrest until after his death because he was treated as an adult in custody without the need for a parent or guardian.

Yanis Varoufakis is continuing to negotiate for a reduction in Greece's debt from the EU and has been doing a whistlestop tour of Europe in a bid to get support for his proposals. But the new finance minister has been hit by an allegation recently that he held up his middle finger when giving a speech about Greece's finances and Germany in 2013. Scroll down for video . Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has been accused of making an offensive gesture with his middle finger during a speech he gave in 2013 about the country's finances, and mentioning Germany . He is alleged to have made the offensive gesture before he was appointed as finance minister, and Varoufakis has denied sticking up his finger. The minister claims the footage has been doctored. A video of the speech appears to capture the offensive gesture. As he raises his finger, Varoufakis says: 'My proposal was that Greece should simply announce that it is defaulting, just like Argentina did, within the euro, in January 2010, and stick the finger to Germany and say well, you can now solve this problem by yourself.' The claims are likely to make a tense situation even more tricky for Varoufakis who has been trying to negotiate favourable terms for Greece to pay back its debt to the EU since the election of the radical left-wing party Syriza in January. Alexis Tsipras, leader of the radical left-wing party heading the new coalition, immediately demanded a renegotiation of Greece' \u00a3179 billion international bailout deal. Yanis Varoufakis has been under increasing pressure to secure a better loan repayment deal for Greece . The party has continued to describe itself as 'anti-austerity.' The call catapulted Varoufakis onto the European stage. Last month he visited George Osborne in London to garner support for the move and has been touring several European countries. Greece was likely to run out of money by March if a deal was not reached before the end of February and a four month extension to the bailout programme for Greece was agreed on a conditional basis.

+{"article": "Seven decades of separation has seen even the language of North and South Korea split into two different dialects. The two countries, though enemies, are tied together by history, by family and by language - but only to a point. South Koreans have incorporated many English words and phrases into their language while isolated communist North Korea has eliminated words with foreign origins and created homegrown substitutes. North Korean defector Pak Mi-ok ended up going without water during a meal in the South because she was too shy to admit she didn't understand the term 'self-service' For those south of the divide, English-based words like 'shampoo,' 'juice' and 'self-service' are common. But they mean absolutely nothing to defectors from the insular North Korea. When Pak Mi-ok first arrived in South Korea after her defection in 2002, she was told by a waitress at a restaurant that water was 'self-service,' an English phrase she had not heard before. She ended up going without water during her meal because she was too shy to admit she didn't understand. 'I worried the waitress would look down on me,' she told the Associated Press. She started out working at restaurants but struggled to understand customers. 'I thought they spoke a different language,' she said. But she gradually picked up the new vocabulary and uses words like 'stress' and 'claim' that are not heard up in the North. Similarly, people in Seoul are confused by homegrown North Korean words like 'salgyeolmul,' which literally translates to 'skin water' - but is just 'lotion' in the South. The Korean Peninsula's 70-year split has created a widening linguistic divide that produces misunderstandings, hurt feelings and sometimes even laughter. The North's isolation near-worship of the ruling Kim family (pictured centre, leader Kim Jong-un) has also skewed the language . The gap has grown so wide that about a third of everyday words used in the two countries are different, according to scholars. North and South Koreans are generally able to understand each other given that the majority of words and grammar are still the same . But the differences show how language can change when one half of the country becomes an international economic powerhouse and the other isolates itself, suspicious of outside influences. The huge cultural influence of America through its military presence, business ties and Hollywood has flooded the South Korean vernacular with words borrowed from English. 'Konglish' uses English words in non-standard ways, like 'handle' for steering wheel, 'hand phone' for cellphone and 'manicure' for nail polish. In North Korea's view, this is just further evidence that the South is an American cultural colony. The North's isolation and near-worship of the ruling Kim family has also skewed the language. South Koreans use the English loan word 'juice' but North Koreans say 'danmul,' or 'sweet water.' South Koreans watch a 'musical' but North Koreans see a 'gamuiyagi,' or 'music and dance story.' 'Suryong' is the revered title for North's founding leader and his son, but in the South it's a historical term referring to a medieval regional or faction", "summary": "Two countries are tied together by history, by family and by language .

A teenager who sexually assaulted an 84-year-old woman at knifepoint in a brutal attack which left her with 44 separate injuries has been jailed for 12 years. Sam Rimmer, 19, climbed in through the window of the frail victim's home before launching the 'vicious' sex attack. The drunken intruder was armed with a large bread knife when he broke into her house in Greater Manchester on November 8 last year. The terrified woman became aware of a 'shadow in her room' moments before he sexually assaulted and tried to rape her, Manchester Crown Court was told. She fought back and grabbed the knife from the thug, dropping the weapon by the side of the bed. Rimmer, from Irlam, Greater Manchester, responded by punching the arthritis sufferer on the shoulder and forcing his fist into her mouth to silence her screams as he continued his horrifying attack. But as she prayed out loud he 'suddenly came to his senses', apologised and fled before confessing to a friend. Prosecutor Phil Dobson told the court how the woman's mobility was badly affected by the attack. Because she now struggles to move her right arm, the pensioner has become reliant on her family and struggles to pay for carers to help with cooking, dressing and bathing. Despite sleepless nights, she has shown a 'spirited determination and forgiving attitude' in the wake of her terrible ordeal, Mr Dobson said. In a witness impact statement, the elderly woman said she had forgiven Rimmer for the shocking attack. 'I feel comfortable in the home I have had for 55 years and I will not let anyone force me out of my own home,' she said. 'Unfortunately I don't think I will ever be able to forget this incident, due to the physical problems I have and the upset it has caused not only me, but my family. 'I really struggle to understand why he has done this to me, however I have no ill feelings towards him and forgive him for what he has done.

Fiona Cullum, 25, provided cover for Hassan Hussain, 30, as he and fellow murderer Yassin James, 20, were hunted by police.

Scroll down for video . San Francisco public defender Jeff Adachi (above during a press conference on March 26, 2015) has alleged that Deputy Scott Neu is ringleader behind organized fights between inmates that took place in March . Neu was the subject of two sexual assault lawsuits in 2006 and 2008, which were settled out of court. All four deputies have been placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation. 'These revelations are sickening,' said Adachi. 'Deputy Neu forced these young men to participate in gladiator-style fights for his own sadistic entertainment.' Ricardo Palikiko Garcia, 23, pictured, said Neu forced him to fight and promised him hamburgers if he won and beatings if he refused .

'It looks like it brings him joy by doing this, while we\u2019re suffering by what he\u2019s doing,' he said. Garcia, who weighs 150-lb, said he was forced twice to fight Harris, who weights 350-lb. Both men were injured in the bouts but were threatened with beatings if they sought medical treatment. In a recorded conversation with Adachi, Harris said that Neu, as part of 'training', made him do 200 push-ups within an hour, and also threatened to anally rape him. He also said Neu had a tattoo reading '850 Mob' in reference to the address of the county jail at 850 Bryant Street.

Mark Post, Professor of Physiology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, 18 months ago oversaw the creation of the first 'cultured beef' burger made of stem cells from cow muscle tissue. He says beef producers already recognise the looming obstacles for the industry, such as how to sustainably and effectively feed the world's population, including the growing Asian middle class, which is projected to reach 3.2 billion people by 2030 and to double the region's food consumption by 2050. Mark Post, Professor of Physiology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, 18 months ago oversaw the creation of the first 'cultured beef' burger made of stem cells from cow muscle tissue . 'They recognise the same problems, probably better than anybody else, and they see there could be alternatives,' Professor Post told reporters in Darwin on Friday, where he was a guest speaker at the Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association annual conference. He says consumers will eventually drive the demand for laboratory beef and producers will have to fall in line. Initially, it will be considered a luxury product, with an appeal to those with environmental and animal welfare concerns. 'The more traditional meat consumer, and probably also richer and younger segment, will tap into this much sooner than people in India and China, who for the first time ever can afford meat and will go for the lower cost traditional meat sources,' he said. He told the Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association annual conference in Darwin on Friday that he predicted lab-made meat would be competing with traditional beef in about 10 years time . The first cultured beef patty cost a whopping 250,000 euros, but within 10 years production could be scaled up to compete with traditional beef in cost, especially if beef prices continue rising, Professor Post said. One stem cell can make 10,000kg of beef, so the capacity is huge, he said. Farmers will be able to adapt production systems to incorporate cultured beef, which will eventually piggyback on the industry's resources, distribution networks and access to consumers. But the two forms of beef production won't really be able to co-exist, Professor Post said. He claimed it will initially considered a luxury product, with an appeal to those with environmental and animal welfare concerns . 'If this technology produces exactly the same product with less resources and... less animal welfare issues, then I think the consumer will eventually decide for us,' he said. Taste remains the biggest issue: the lab burger currently tastes 'okay, not great', but fat tissue is being added to improve the flavour. 'It's essentially the same tissue in the end, so the taste has to be similar,' he said.", "summary": "Prediction was made by Dutch Professor of Physiology Mark Post .

Wang told the news outlet that more powerful extratropical cyclones likely played a role in 2013 winter weather on the East Coast. He also said that during extratropical cyclones, a larger amount of water undergoes condensation on aerosols -- due to greater pollution. Heat released from the process can contribute to a cloud becoming both larger and deeper, Earth Science News explained. Jiang told the news outlet 'Before, we thought about the North-South contrast: the Northern Hemisphere has more land, the Southern Hemisphere has more ocean. 'That difference is important to global atmospheric circulation. 'Now, in addition to that, there's a West-East contrast. Europe and North America are reducing emissions; Asia is increasing them. 'That change also affects the global circulation and perturbs the climate.' Speaking to the Weather Channel, Jiang said 'During the wintertime, human-induced pollution such as coal burning in many Asian cities can create smog that lasts for weeks. Cold conditions: Postdoctoral fellow Yuan Wang has said that more powerful extratropical cyclones likely played a role in 2013 winter weather in the East. (A woman is seen in Boston in this February 2013 file photo) 'Under favorable wind conditions, pollution particles can be transported downwind across the North Pacific, where winter storms are prevalent.' However, Jiang told NPR that he does not know to what extent powerful Pacific storms can cause severe weather in other parts of the United States. 'We have not reached a final conclusion yet,' he told the media outlet.", "summary": "Scientists have found that pollution coming from Asian countries is affecting weather in the United States . The effect pollution in Asia may have on other parts of the world has been examined by NASA and the California Institute of Technology .

Arsenal beat West Ham 3-0 on Saturday and Arsene Wenger\u2019s side, who have not won the league since 2004, are now seven points behind Chelsea. Manchester City were beaten at Burnley 1-0 and Chelsea could only draw at Stamford Bridge. Jose Mourinho has admitted that Arsenal have joined Chelsea and Manchester City in the title race . The Blues struggled to break down Southampton despite Diego Costa's first-half opener at Stamford Bridge . Arsenal saw off the threat of West Ham at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday with an impressive 3-0 win . Mourinho said: \u2018Of course Arsenal are in it. They are seven points behind Chelsea, but have one less match to play than Chelsea. \u2018Both City and Arsenal are in the title race. It depends on the momentum for Arsenal - the 3-1 defeat against Monaco or the 3-0 defeat against West Ham? \u2018So the danger is always there. But I keep saying, we are there. If someone had told me in August that, at the end of March, we'd be six points in front with a match in hand, I'd have signed for that immediately. \u2018There are two perspectives. One perspective is a draw at home to Southampton is not a good result. For me, that perspective is very acceptable. \u2018The second perspective is we had a lead of five points from second, and now it's six points with one less match to play.\u2019 Mourinho believed a wrongly-awarded penalty denied his side an eight-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the league. The Portuguese coach was fined \u00a325,000 for saying there was a 'clear campaign' against his side after Cesc Fabregas was denied a penalty and booked for diving instead in the December 28 draw at St Mary's. Mourinho says that Arsenal are a danger to Chelsea, although he is happy with his current strong position . On Sunday Mourinho was frustrated Nemanja Matic was penalised - allowing Dusan Tadic to score from the spot and cancel out Diego Costa's first Premier League goal for almost two months - while Branislav Ivanovic was not awarded a spot kick at the other end. 'I'm happy with the situation. I'm happy with the six-point lead, but I'm not happy with the result,' Mourinho said. 'If you remember our two matches against Southampton: in one game, one penalty that is not a penalty and in another game a penalty that was not given. You are speaking about six points transformed into two points.' Mike Dean (right) gave Southampton the penalty for their equaliser, Mourinho said that it 'is not a penalty' Thibaut Courtois could not keep out Dusan Tadic's spot-kick and the playmaker secured a point for Saints .

A man accused of murdering an elderly widow in her home during a robbery has gouged out both of his eyes in separate incidents in prison, it has emerged. Victor Razumov Jr.'s horrific injuries were revealed as it emerged he will receive a competency hearing due to the two incidents in New Jersey State Prison in Trenton last December. 'He was transported to Trenton State Prison where he apparently, according to the guards, put his own eye out and was brought to Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia,' his attorney Robert Baer told the New Jersey Herald.

In fact, at Coventry City, the midfielder found the experience of being an inferior player to a manager in his early 40s about as palatable as Strachan\u2019s famed longevity-fuelling concoction of porridge, bananas and seaweed. If O\u2019Neill\u2019s injury-scarred spell at Highfield Road was not the most notable of an otherwise successful career, the Northern Ireland manager retains a high regard for his Scotland counterpart and hopes the pair can soon share success in the international arena.

It was a bit unfortunate that injuries thwarted my opportunity at Coventry but it was evident back then what type of manager Gordon was going to be. \u2018He had the ability to motivate and to invigorate. He knew how to get players to respond to him. So it doesn\u2019t surprise me how well he has done with Scotland. He was a great appointment and exactly what Scotland needed at that time.

Dellinger also pleaded guilty to assault for the death of their unborn baby. Murphy was eight months pregnant at the time of the crash. Sued: Former Fortune 500 executive Robert Dellinger, 54, was hit with a wrongful death lawsuit last month, a day after he pleaded guilty to negligent homicide in the deaths of a young couple . Tragic: John Timmons, 29, and Amanda Murphy, 24, were killed instantly in the crash on December 7, 2013 . The lawsuit, which lists five counts, seeks damages for Dellinger's 'wanton, reckless and grossly negligent' conduct, according to The Valley News. Investigators say Dellinger was trying to kill himself when he drove through the median of Interstate 89 in December 2013. The lawsuit was filed by Murphy's mother, Tammy Langlois, who oversees her daughter's estate. Timmons mother, Deborah Blanchard, is also expected to sue Dellinger. Dellinger has not been served with the suit yet. Dellinger's lawyer said he was not attempting to end his life, but rather suffering from delirium due to a 'toxic regime' of medications. Dellinger, 54, of Sunapee, New Hampshire, was initially charged with manslaughter, but that was later upgraded to second-degree murder. 'I\u2019m extremely remorseful to the families, and to my own family, as well. I wish I could have that day over,' Dellinger said in court. Negligent homicide is a lesser charge.

+{"article": "Sportsmail takes a look at 10 things we have learned from a weekend of international fixtures and reflects on a selection of interesting rumours from the Football League. 1. Ashley Williams was on Arsenal\u2019s radar for ages before signing a new four-year deal at Swansea last summer, but a move to the Emirates fell through supposedly because he wasn\u2019t considered Champions League quality. The 30-year-old has made a nonsense of that verdict since with his performances for Wales. Brilliant in a defiant defensive display when they gained a 0-0 draw away to Group B favourites Belgium in November, the Welsh captain was again outstanding in the 3-0 win in Israel which put Chris Coleman\u2019s side top of the group. While Gareth Bale grabbed the headlines, Williams was superb at the back. He gave the ball away only twice in 90 minutes \u2013 and won it back both times. Ashley Williams (right, pictured with Gareth Bale) was in impressive form during Wales' win against Israel . 2. John Terry is clearly a far more decent bloke than the various unsavoury episodes of his past would suggest. At the age of 34 and with a back that needs constant treatment, Chelsea\u2019s captain could have done with a weekend off after playing all but four of Chelsea\u2019s 45 games so far this season. But he gave up his time to play 45 minutes of Steven Gerrard\u2019s All Star charity game supporting various good causes in the Merseyside area. Terry was also first to agree to play when Stiliyan Petrov ran out a sell-out game in Glasgow 18 months ago to raise funds for Leukaemia research. John Terry, pictured with Mario Balotelli, played 45 minutes of Steven Gerrard's All Star charity match . 3. Nathaniel Clyne might have to rein in some of the attacking instincts that have worked so well for him at Southampton when he\u2019s wearing an England shirt. The 23-year-old is beginning to look like a natural at right back for Roy Hodgson after winning his third cap in the 4-0 win over Lithuania. But Hodgson clearly asked Clyne to keep his position to let opposite full back Leighton Baines do most of the marauding forward. The Everton man played 53 passes in the forward half, nearly twice the number (28) that Clyne did. England ace Nathaniel Clyne may have to keep his position in order to let Leighton Baines maraud forward . 4. Portugal might have gone top of Group I with their 2-1 victory over Serbia but new boss Fernando Santos could do with finding some fresh talent for his squad. Seven of the side that started the game, including Cristiano Ronaldo, were already in their country\u2019s senior squad for Euro 2008. Portugal have failed to significantly freshen up their international squad since Euro 2008 . 5. There must be something about the north London air because if Harry Kane can\u2019t stop scoring goals, the same is true of Olivier Giroud. Arsenal\u2019s centre forward, who has 11 goals from 13 starts for his club since the start of 2015, was on", "summary": "Ashley Williams' proposed move to Arsenal fell through in the summer .

The Belgium international impressed while on loan from Chelsea last season, but struggled initially after making the move permanent last July.

The home side remain outside of the top six, but are now just three points behind Connacht in the battle to book a place among Europe's elite. It was a deserved win for the Llanelli-based region, who put a big dent in Leinster's play-off hopes with just five rounds of action remaining. Both sides welcomed back Six Nations squad members with British and Irish Lions prop Cian Healy making his first Leinster start since September, while Wales centre Scott Williams had not pulled on a Scarlets jersey for six weeks. And the Scarlets' vice-captain came to the fore in a bright start from the home side, which was rewarded with a penalty from fly-half Steve Shingler after 10 minutes. However, Leinster began to grow into the game as the half wore on and on 18 minutes they showed the clinical edge of champions to claim the game's opening try. After Leinster had set up an attack in the home 22, former NRL star Ben Te'o cut an exquisite angle through the Scarlets midfield before stepping his way to score at the posts. Fly-half Jimmy Gopperth landed the simple conversion. The Wasps-bound number 10 added another three points following more pressure from the visitors, but Scarlets responded strongly and crossed for their first try just before the half-hour mark. Some slick handling by the home backs had Leinster on the back foot and Scotland back-rower John Barclay did well to squeeze in at the corner - although it needed the television match official to confirm the number eight had avoided touch in the process of touching down. Shingler was short with the conversion and it meant Leinster held a slender 10-8 advantage at the interval. However, a well-worked team try from the Scarlets wiped out that advantage 11 minutes after the restart. After strong work from the forwards which took play to the Leinster line, the home side appeared to have butchered an overlap. However, they regrouped well and silky hands from Kiwi centre Regan King put full-back Jordan Williams over. A long-range Gopperth penalty reduced the arrears to two points, then it needed a try-saving tackle from Barclay to deny opposite number Jack Conan, with James Davies claiming a crucial turnover. The outstanding Barclay was then involved at the opposite end of the field, bursting through to set up the Scarlets third try, finished off with an outstretched hand by replacement Rory Pitman. Shingler couldn't land the conversion and seven points separated the sides going into the final 13 minutes. Replacement Rhys Priestland landed a penalty to put more distance between the sides and Leinster left empty handed after a score by full-back Zane Kirchner was ruled out by the TMO in the final minutes.", "summary": "Scarlets boosted their European Champions Cup qualification ambitions .

Last year Google took its Street View cameras on a 10-day trek around the Khumbu region - also known as the Everest region - to explore these quaint landmarks and locations. During the trek the cameras captured the small Sherpa village of Thame, the Phortse Thakiri Chholing Gomba monastery and Khumjung inside the Sagarmatha National Park. Scroll down for video . Google recently took its Street View cameras on a 10-day trek around the Khumbu region - also known as the Everest region - (pictured) to explore the remote villages and landmarks of Nepal. During the trek the cameras captured the small Sherpa village of Thame, the Phortse Thakiri Chholing Gomba monastery and Khumjung inside the Sagarmatha National Park . The trek was led by Apa Sherpa, a 55-year-old Sherpa mountaineer who holds the world record for reaching the summit of Mount Everest 21 times - more than any other person. He scaled the summit for the first time at the age of 30. In 2009, Apa founded the non-profit Apa Sherpa Foundation to help the local community of young people in the Khumbu region. The Street View images were captured in March 2014 when Apa took members of Google Earth Outreach, and the Nepalese nonprofit Story Cycle through the region. Mount Everest is the Earth's highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848 metres above sea level. In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon a recommendation by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. Mr Waugh named the mountain after his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest. It has become a mecca for climbers, and has two main climbing routes, the southeast ridge from Nepal and the north ridge from Tibet. The southeast ridge was the route used by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay when they reached the summit for the first time in 1953. 'Our region is famous for being home to Everest, but it\u2019s also the home of the Sherpa community and has been for centuries,' Apa said. 'The region has much more to offer than just the mountain. So last year, I guided the Google Maps team through my home region to collect Street View imagery that improves the map of our community. 'Now you can find Thame on the map and explore other communities nestled at the base of Everest, like Khumjung and Phortse.' Thame, and neighbouring upper Thame are small Sherpa villages in the Solukhumbu District of Nepal. Tenzing Norgay, one of the first people to climb Mount Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary grew up in the region and the Thame monastery is one of the oldest in Khumbu. Another village captured by the Street View trekkers was Khumjung. It sits 13,000ft (3,970 metres) above sea level near Mount Khumbila.

Engineers have replaced the traditional spinning bristles \u2013 which were designed to drive dust out of a carpet \u2013 with a large soft nylon brush similar to a paint roller which scoops dust and dirt from hard floors . The key difference between the new technology and Dyson\u2019s traditional bagless vacuums is in the roller bar. Engineers have replaced the traditional spinning bristles \u2013 which were designed to drive dust out of a carpet \u2013 with a large soft nylon brush similar to a paint roller which scoops dust and dirt from hard floors. Larger pieces of debris such as spilled cornflakes are grabbed by the soft material and passed into the machine\u2019s suction stream, while microscopic grains of dust are brushed up by strips of carbon fibre filaments. Sir James Dyson said previously that the company 'must relentlessly invent' to keep up with changing demand . Dyson claims the V6 Fluffy is particularly good at sucking dirt out of the crevices between floorboards, and is able to pick up a whole 1kg bag of sugar in just four seconds. Powered by the Dyson digital motor V6, and digitally controlled, the motor spins at up to 110,000rpm to create the most powerful cordless vacuum. It gives up to 20 minutes of powerful fade-free suction. The vacuum features a special soft roller cleaner head with soft woven nylon, and rows of anti-static carbon fiber filaments. 15 two-tier Radial\u2122 cyclones, arranged across two tiers, also work in parallel to increase airflow and capture more fine dust. The V6 Fluffy converts for handheld cleaning and features a centre of gravity located towards the grip and hygienic push-button bin emptying. Hard floors have surged in popularity in recent years, driven by a fashion for industrial and \u2018shabby chic\u2019 interior design styles. Market researcher The Freedonia Group estimates that there has been a 70 per cent increase in the use of hard flooring in the last two decades. Dyson\u2019s new cleaner, which is being produced in Singapore, runs for 20 minutes between battery charges. It can clean carpets and rugs as well as hard floors with the help of an attachable head.

The FA Council rejected owner Assem Allam's attempt to rebrand last year but on Monday an arbitration tribunal ruled that that decision had been put aside. That was due to the involvement of Football Supporters' Federation chairman Malcolm Clarke on the sub-committee which made the initial decision, with the tribunal believing Clarke based his decision only on what members of the City Till We Die supporters group, now part of HCST, wanted - the club's now 111-year-old name to remain unchanged. The Hull City Supporters' Trust has called upon club owner Assem Allam to abandon his name change plans . That means that while the club will remain as Hull City AFC until the end of the current campaign, Allam can now re-apply to change the name again ahead of the new season.

+{"article": "Britain's beer is getting weaker, with popular lagers such as Stella Artois and Budweiser reducing alcohol content . Britain's beer is getting weaker thanks to the rise in popularity of low-strength tipples and more health-conscious drinkers. Despite the UK's reputation as a country which enjoys a pint, two billion fewer units of alcohol were consumed over the last two years, according to official figures. The decline is largely because the strength of alcoholic drinks has fallen from an average of 4.42 per cent to 4.14 per cent over the two years, a report by the Department of Health says. Increasingly health-conscious drinkers are also playing a part, the Sunday Telegraph reported, with a sharp rise in choice of lower-strength booze. Brewers are also responding to lower tax rates imposed on beers with 2.8 per cent or less alcohol. The change in levy was followed by a number of brewers weakening their products, including Carlsberg's Skol lager dropping from three per cent to 2.8 per cent. Stronger lagers, such as Becks, Stella Artois and Budweiser, also reduced their alcohol levels from 5 per cent to 4.8 per cent, while John Smith's Extra Smooth bitter falling from 3.8 to 3.6 per cent. Low-strength lagers introduced in recent years include beer-citrus fusions such as Carling Zest (2.8 per cent), Carlsberg Citrus (2.8 per cent) and Foster's Radler (two per cent). Brigid Simmons, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association said: 'British brewers have responded to consumer demand for a greater range and choice of lower-strength beers, many with new flavours and ingredients. 'We\u2019ve seen the Government\u2019s decision to give 50 per cent tax relief to lower-strength beers combining with a growth in interest among consumers for lower-strength drinks like beer, that are also lower in calories.' While the number of units of alcohol consumed has decreased over the last years, Britain still gets through more alcohol per head than most other nations . The news comes a month after official figures showed the number of under-25s who do not drink at all has increased by 40 per cent in eight years. A quarter of young people do not drink at all and binge drinking is falling, but Britain still drinks more alcohol per head than most other countries.

Jeffery Thomas, 40, was banned from the teaching profession for starting a 'sexually-motivated' relationship with his sixth-form student, Lily-Mai Guard, who is now 18. The couple are now expecting a child together and have recently moved to a home in Windsor to start a new life together. Married design-technology teacher, Mr Thomas, was working at Haberdashers' Aske's Knights Academy, in Bromley, Kent, when he embarked on a relationship with the Year 12 student in 2013. Jeffery Thomas, 40, was banned by a disciplinary hearing for starting a 'sexually-motivated' relationship with Year 12 pupil Lily-Mai Guard (together above) at Haberdashers' Aske's Knights Academy, in Bromley, Kent . A disciplinary hearing report published this week revealed Miss Guard stayed at his flat one night after school on his birthday, and witnesses say they were seen kissing at least once. It is not known when the affair first began, but witnesses say they saw them together around 10 times outside school. And Mr Thomas and Miss Guard saw each other increasingly over the summer holidays - while he was still married - making 89 calls and texting 29 times in just one-month. The National College for Teaching and Leadership's misconduct panel banned him from teaching indefinitely and found his 'conduct represents a fundamental abuse of his position of trust'. The relationship between the pair continued despite Miss Guard's brother - a fellow teacher - and the school's vice principal warning him off several times. Mr Thomas, who resigned in September 2013, accepted his conduct had breached professional boundaries but denied his behaviour was sexually motivated. However, the report says that during a heated row, Mr Thomas told his wife \u2013 who has now moved to the US \u2013 that he had kissed the girl. And while the panel found no evidence of a sexual relationship while the pupil was at school, they heard the pair were now living together and the teenager is expecting their first child. The report concluded: 'The fact that Mr Thomas continued to maintain and develop the relationship with student A whilst she was a student, in the face of very clear advice and warnings as to his behaviour, is an aggravating factor in this case. 'Mr Thomas's behaviour undermines public confidence in the profession and damages its collective reputation. In a statement Mr Thomas - known as Jeff - claimed that Miss Guard only stayed at his house once because 'she knew I was low and alone on my birthday.' 'She arrived at my flat late and unannounced,' he said. 'We went to the cinema and she ended up sleeping on the bed (me on the sofa) because she missed her last train home.'

Some said they were bedridden and others had to seek medical attention after coming down with food poisoning, but the owner insisted her restaurant was not the culprit. Stomach-turning: Dozens of lawyers and law students from Temple University became sick with vomiting and explosive diarrhea after a February 27 feast at Joy Tsin Lau in the city's Chinatown . 'It was not a problem with my restaurant,' Chi Mabel Chan told Philadelphia Inquirer. 'Maybe they got cold or drank too much.' A 'food source' was identified as the cause of the outbreak, but city Health Department spokesman Jeff Moran declined to explain what the food was or how it was contaminated, citing state law that bars them from disclosing findings of investigations. Wes Culp, a spokesman for the state Department of Health, said the law prohibits disclosure of 'diseases or any records maintained as a result of any actions taken in consequence of those reports.' 'We do not disclose information related to an investigation unless there is a public health purpose to sharing the information,' Culp said in an email. In a report two weeks prior to the outbreak, a city Health Department employee cited the restaurant for multiple violations, including a lack of soap and paper towels in the employee restroom, which was noted as a repeat violation. The February 10 report stated in part: 'Potentially hazardous ready to eat food, prepared in the food facility and held for more than 48 hours, located in the walk in cooler, was not date marked.' The health department inspector also found that multiple food items located inside a refrigerator beneath the counter were not covered 'to prevent possible contamination.' In 2010, the Health Department issued a cease-and-desist order against Joy Tsin Lau alleging 'failure to ensure that public-health standards for a safe and sanitary operation' are being maintained.

Attique Sami, 44, was the third member of a drug smuggling crime gang to be jailed over the plot when he received a sentence of 19 years yesterday . Sami of Ilford was found guilty of conspiring to import and supply heroin following a trial at Luton Crown Court. His conviction follows the sentencing of two other men, Noman Qureshi, 32, from Bradford, and Israr Khan, 35, from Luton, in October last year. They were sentenced to 21 and 18 years respectively. The smugglers did not realise they were already under surveillance by a crack team from the National crime Agency soon after the container ship arrived at the port in Suffolk in December 2013 . On the evening of Friday 6 December 2013, Qureshi drove from his home in Bradford, picked up Khan in Luton, and drove to a hotel in Ilford. Sami arrived in his Porsche 911 to meet with them to discuss where to unload the heroin from the car. The Jaguar, which had been shipped to the UK from Pakistan, was driven on the back of a low-loader to an address in Dagenham during the early hours of 7 December . Qureshi and Khan met it, but shortly after left the scene. They were arrested later that morning in Luton. The Jaguar was seized and examined by specialist Border Force search officers. They recovered 316 separate packages of heroin totalling 230 kilos. If cut and sold the drugs would have had a likely potential street value of \u00a337.2 million. Sami was arrested in February 2014.

James Clapper claims failing to extend part of the Patriot Act, which allows the bulk collection of telephone records, will take away a vital tool in the kit of the intelligence agency. Should Congress not renew Section 215 - due to expire on June 1 - then it must be prepared to shoulder the blame should an 'untoward incident' take place, the Director of National Intelligence added during a question and answer session in New York on Monday.

It has since been claimed Section 215, set up in the wake of September 11, has failed to stop one terrorist incident, leading to calls for it being reformed, or dropped altogether.

One of the last surviving Doolittle Raiders who attacked Japan during a daring World War II mission has died, age 95. Lt. Col. Robert Hite died on Sunday at a nursing home in Nashville after a battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was one of three remaining Doolittle Raiders. Hite was a co-pilot of a crew that flew one of the 16 B-25 bombers that raided Tokyo in April 1942. Led by Lieutenant Colonel James 'Jimmy' Doolittle, the mission saw 80 airmen sent in bombers from a carrier at sea to attack military targets in Japan. Without enough fuel to reach a safe landing point, the brave crew had to land in China and hope villagers would lead them to safety. Though the attack only caused scattered damage, it's credited with boosting morale in the United States while shaking Japan's confidence less than five months after the country attacked Pearl Harbor. Tom Casey, a manager for the Doolittle Raiders, said that, despite the risks, 'they all volunteered to go anyway.' The 16 B-25 bombers, each carrying five men, dropped bombs on targets such as factory areas and military installations. Prisoner: Hite, shown here being led blindfolded by his captors, was was taken captive by the Japanese for 40 months after the Doolittle Raid . Veteran: After being liberated in 1945, Hite continued his active-duty service in 1951 during the Korean War. He served until 1955 . They then headed to designated airfields in mainland China realizing that they would run out of fuel, according to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Three crew members died as Raiders bailed out or crash-landed their planes in China, but most were helped to safety by Chinese villagers and soldiers. Of the eight Raiders captured by Japanese soldiers, three were executed and another died in captivity, according to Northwest Florida Daily News. Hite was one of the men that was taken by the Japanese and was held captive for 40 months.

He has concluded that the search in the vast Indian ocean being conducted by the Australian Transport Safety Board (ATSB) is about 100 nautical miles away from the where the aircraft actually is.

Details are reported in the Sunday Times. Captain Hardy says that after taking off from Kuala Lumpur at 16.41 GMT on March 7 last year, flight MH370 lost contact with air traffic control at a point over the China Sea where four flight information regions intersect. The last verbal contact had been at 19.19 and the captain\u2019s was the last voice heard. Captain Hardy said the flight did something \u2018quite remarkable\u2019 by flying in and out of the airspace of Malaysia and Thailand eight times noting: \u2019I\u2019ve never seen anything like that but it is a good way to cause confusion between the controllers.\u2019 The captain of the lost Boeing 777-200, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, left, came from Penang, while First officer Fariq Abdul Hamid was from Selangor, right .

Nine years - and five grandchildren - later, the 68-year-old retiree from New Jersey is still going strong, and all thanks to an experimental treatment involving a common vaccine. Hillburn, of Fort Lee, New Jersey, was one of 12 cancer patients who were given a tetanus shot as part of a new study conducted at the Duke University Medical Center. Researchers found that a dose of tetanus vaccine let patients like Hillburn live longer when added to an experimental treatment for the most common and deadly kind of brain tumor, . Beating the odds: In April 2006, when Sandy Hillburn was diagnosed with glioblastoma - the most common and deadly kind of brain tumor - she was given only two-three months to live . Matriarch: Thanks to an experimental treatment involving the tetanus-diphtheria vaccine, Hillburn (top center) got to witness the birth of five more grandchildren . It 'put the immune system on high alert,' paving the way for the experimental treatment to work better in attacking the disease, said researcher Kristen Batich of the Duke University Medical Center. In a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature, she and others describe a study of 12 patients. Some who got the tetanus shot lived years longer than those who didn't. Dr. John Sampson of Duke, senior author of the report, called the results promising but noted the study was small, and said bigger studies are needed to confirm the results. A follow-up study has already been planned but isn't recruiting patients yet, Batich said. Brain cancer experts unconnected with the work were impressed. The results are 'very exciting,' said Dr. Nader Sanai of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. While he agreed more work is required, 'what you have so far, it's a very positive story.' Tetanus is otherwise known as lockjaw. Vaccines for it are routinely recommended for children and adults. The new study focused on glioblastoma, which killed Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy in 2009. Even after surgery to remove the tumor, it usually grows back and kills. The few drugs to treat these tumors have little effect. Half of patients die within about 15 months. When diagnosed in New York in April 2006, 'I was told I had two to three months to live,' Sandra Hillburn recalled in a telephone interview. But her family flew her to Duke in North Carolina because of its reputation for glioblastoma care, and she was offered a slot in the experimental study. Cutting age treatment: Hillburn was one of 12 cancer patients who were given a tetanus shot as part of a new study conducted at the Duke University Medical Center . New approach: Doctors remove white blood cells from a patient and equip them with a chemical target found in the tumor. Then they return the cells to the patient's body, where they train the immune system to go after the cancer cells and kill them.

Woman have been warned the common antibiotic erythromycin could harm their unborn baby (file photo) But women treated with erythromycin and other pills from the macrolide family of antibiotics were almost twice as likely to have a baby with one of these conditions as those given penicillin. The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, found that a third of expectant mothers were given antibiotics during pregnancy, most commonly penicillin. Just 7 per cent of the women prescribed antibiotics were given macrolides, which are used to treat urinary and chest infections and are particularly likely to be given during recurrent illness or if a woman is allergic to penicillin. However out of every 150 women given a macrolide rather than penicillin, there was one more baby born with cerebral palsy or epilepsy.

The poignant message on a tombstone outside the HQ of The King\u2019s Troop at Woolwich Army barracks says it all: \u2018Here lies an old horse called Wonder, his extraordinary age being forty years old when he died. This stone was placed August 1, 1808.\u2019 Of course, that was back in the days when horses really went to war. One can only imagine the battles Wonder courageously survived. But the fact that Wonder lived to such a ripe old age \u2014 in human years, well over 100 \u2014 is testament to the fact that even when horses were used on battlefields, the British Army valued and looked after them. Today, the four-legged members of The King\u2019s Troop Royal Horse Artillery housed at Woolwich don\u2019t have to charge at the enemy, thank goodness. They perform only ceremonial duties, such as Trooping The Colour, state funerals and military tattoos. The worst they have to cope with is galloping through theatrical smoke at the Horse Of The Year show. What\u2019s more, they live in a luxurious state-of-the-art equestrian training facility, with an army of grooms tending to their every need. They enjoy 24-hour care, with a dedicated vet and farrier on site. They are exercised daily in the arena or hacked out in nearby Charlton Park. Once a year they go on a four-week summer holiday to Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, where they spend time out at grass. And yet, despite this, animal rights activists launched a withering attack on the MoD last month, accusing the Army of being cruel to horses. Campaigners from Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) claimed the military should not be allowed to keep any animals at all. They seized on figures showing the MoD had put down 109 of their horses in the past six years as evidence of neglect. Anyone with experience of horses \u2014 like me \u2014 will tell you that figure is actually quite modest considering the MoD has 500 horses in its care at any one time at Woolwich, where The King\u2019s Troop is stationed, and at Knightsbridge, where the Household Cavalry is based. Activists singled out figures showing that horses were put down because they fell lame or suffered from colic. They suggested the MoD did not try hard enough to re-home horses who could no longer work. Again, any horse owner will know that colic and leg injuries in equines are all too often serious enough to warrant euthanasia and that it is sometimes the only option. However, this didn\u2019t stop the activists. Mimi Bekhechi, director of Peta, complained: \u2018The Ministry of Defence has no business using horses, dogs or any other animals. They are not soldiers, nor are they pieces of military kit to be used and then decommissioned at the end of their involuntary service. \u2018While painless euthanasia is the only humane option for sick or wounded animals, a combat zone is no place for them.\u2019 But no horses are used in combat now.

I can vividly remember the Mother\u2019s Day when I bought my mum the one gift she had expressly forbidden me to buy. It was Tivo: a way to record favourite TV shows, which at the time was novel and new to the market and something I was sure she could use. She was adamant about not wanting it and not watching enough TV for it to be useful. Even so, I persevered knowing that many of her favourite cooking shows, home design programmes and Poirots recording all by themselves would be something she would quickly learn to love. I also suspected that her reticence had to do with her own unspoken fear that she wouldn\u2019t be able to master a complicated remote control. Despite her protestations, I bought it anyway, and almost immediately it became one of her favourite gifts of all time.

Does mum love a glass of chilled rose? Go for a countertop wine cooler. A fantastic luxury gift with a capacity of 12 bottles of wine at the perfect temperature and featuring a curved mirror-effect door, the Husky HN6 Reflections Slimline countertop wine cooler is digitally controlled via a touch screen. It can be adjusted to store the wine at any temperature between eight - 18\u00baC, making it perfect for storing red, white or rose wine at the optimum temperature. 3) The phone for baby boomers\u2019 Amplicomms M9000 \u00a3139 SIM-free from hearingdirect.com .

Oprah Winfrey is getting ready to leave Windy City for good in favor of Tinsel Town. By the end of this year, Winfrey's Harpo Studios will close its doors in Chicago after 26 years, and all of the operations will be moved to the Oprah Winfrey Network's new headquarters in West Hollywood, it was announced today. The 61-year-old media mogul, ranked 603 on Forbes' 2015 list of billionaires, personally delivered the news to her staff in Chicago Tuesday morning. The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) was founded by the former 'queen of daytime' in 2011 in Los Angeles, and Winfrey's executives have spent the past four years traveling back and forth between Chicago and Hollywood. Two months ago, OWN moved into a new three-story space called The Lot in West Hollywood, setting the stage for the shutdown of Harpo Studios in Chicago. '[Chicago has] been everything for me. I've spent more hours in this building than I have any other building on Earth,' Miss Winfrey told The Hollywood Reporter by phone.

Since 2011, the Chicago-based studio, which employed about 200 people, had produced 800 hours of original programming. Only a small portion of the Harpo staff will join OWN's 140 employees in LA. The move comes nearly a year after Winfrey sold the four-building Harpo Studios to the real estate development company Sterling Bay for estimated $32million. Under the agreement, the property was leased back to Harpo for two years. The lease expires in April 2016, but the studio will close at the end of 2015.

Darren Clarke will captain Europe at next year's Ryder Cup in Minneapolis . The former Open champion holds aloft the trophy on his first official appointment as captain . After the comprehensive win at Gleneagles last time in 2014, the overwhelming temptation must be to keep everything the same but Clarke is considering one small change to the blueprint. He plans to study the data on wildcards in the tournament before deciding whether to recommend cutting their number from three to two. Of course, there are arguments both ways.

Tuesday's decision came a day after the execution of Kelly Gissendaner was delayed for a second time when the execution team found that the lethal pentobarbital dose appeared cloudy. Gissendaner, who was convicted of murder in the February 1997 slaying of her husband, had originally been set for execution last week on February 25, but it was postponed because of a threat of bad weather. The cloudy drug bolstered death penalty opponents, who have been vocal in their opposition after three botched executions in other parts of the country. Attorneys for Gissendaner said in a filing with the U.S. Supreme Court that a lawyer for the state called them around 10:25 p.m. on Monday to say the execution would be postponed for several days because the state's pharmacist had looked at the drug an hour earlier and determined it was cloudy. The state's lawyer called back about five minutes later to say the prison wasn't sure which drugs they had checked, 'this week's or last week's,' and that they were considering going forward, the filing says. The lawyer called a third time, saying 'this particular batch (of drugs) just didn't come out like it was supposed to' and they weren't going to proceed, according to the court filing.

The back and forth was detailed in Gissendaner's emergency motion for a stay. Corrections spokeswoman Gwendolyn Hogan said 'there was never any confusion within the department about the drugs which were to be used,' but also indicated the department was not part of the conversations between the attorney general's office and defense attorneys. Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens said in a statement it is 'essential that executions are carried out in a constitutional manner' and that he approved of the decision to temporarily suspend executions. The cloudiness could be contamination by bacteria or some impurity, said Michael Jay, a professor at the University of North Carolina's Eshelman School of Pharmacy. If the particles were big enough, they could clog blood vessels when injected or could lodge in the lungs, Jay said.

+{"article": "Grayson Perry's unusual Gingerbread House holiday home has been branded an 'abomination' by local villagers inundated with art fans flocking to see the property. The Turner Prize-winning artist teamed up with the organisation Living Architecture to design the unique holiday cottage in the sleepy village of Wrabness. But locals - who battled the original plans - claim art fans flocking to catch a glimpse of the artist's creation are clogging up the narrow streets. Scroll down for video . The finished work - which can be seen from miles around - includes ceramic tiles featuring safety pins, old-style tapes, hearts and the word 'Julie' The quirky cottage was supposed to 'explore the special character and unique qualities of Essex' and is expected to open for holiday bookings in the spring. But the local council has already been forced to redesign surrounding roads and car parks to accommodate the influx of art fans. One frustrated villager, who refused to be named, said: 'This is a tiny village known for its tranquillity. 'We're not a snotty London art gallery, yet our tiny roads are now besieged on a daily basis by day trippers asking for directions to the dreaded 'Gingerbread House'. 'I can only imagine how bad it will be in the summer. 'I still do not understand how this abomination got planning permission in the first place?' Wrabness Parish Council strongly objected to the proposal to knock down the existing farmhouse and replace it with the imposing structure that combines sculptures, tapestries and ceramics. Villagers in Wrabness have said that Grayson Perry's 'Gingerbread house' has caused traffic chaos . The Turner Prize-winning artist is known primarily for his work with ceramics, and right, the house in honour to a mythical Essex woman called 'Julie' The original plans for the home were turned down by Tendring District Council but a re-submitted application for the wacky home was given the green-light by planners. The finished work - which can be seen from miles around - includes ceramic tiles featuring safety pins, old-style tapes, hearts and the word 'Julie'. Perry admitted he had originally designed the house whilst \u2018doodling wildly and quite drunkenly in front of the television\u2019. The house is located on the banks of the River Stour, in the rural village of Wrabness . He wanted it to resemble a \u2018jewel box\u2019 that told the story of a mythical Essex woman called Julie, who had a difficult childhood, love life, divorce and late career. Hence, there\u2019s an 8ft statue of her on the roof, naked and pregnant, and her name is emblazoned all over the walls. Essex County Council Highways Authority have now agreed to redesign tiny local roads to improve access to the site. Talks are also ongoing to use the nearby Wrabness Railway Station as a car park for art enthusiasts. The cottage - officially named 'A House for Essex' - is set to open to holidaymakers in the next few months . An Essex Highways spokesman said: 'Following a meeting, it was agreed to implement a number of requests for road", "summary": "The Turner Prize winning artist designed the holiday cottage in Wrabness .

Ljalic had the chance to cancel out Josip Ilicic's first-half opener with a penalty on the hour mark but saw his effort saved by Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto. The away goal for Roma could be vital as the second-place Serie A side look to take the initiative in the return leg at the Stadio Olimpico next week.

The hosts started stronger, and it was no surprise when Mohamed Salah fashioned the chance for the opening goal after 17 minutes. Salah has been a revelation since arriving in Serie A on loan from Chelsea, with six goals in seven appearances, and he continued his good run of form by playing Ilicic in for the opener. With Fiorentina on the counter-attack, Salah picked up the ball on the left flank - slightly unfamiliar for him - and drove forward at pace. No challenges came in and the Egyptian had the simple task of slipping the ball between two defenders to the feet of Ilicic, who took a touch to compose himself before smashing a left-footed drive past Lukasz Skorupski at his near post. Roma came more into it as the half went on and missed good opportunities through Juan Manuel Iturbe and Alessandro Florenzi but they did also lose both captain Daniel de Rossi and Kostas Manolas to injury. Radja Nainggolan also picked up a booking meaning he will miss the second leg in the Italian capital.

John Maddocks, 80, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, suffered from dementia and was first placed in a care home in 2009 while recovering from a bout of tuberculosis. However his daughter Wanda, 52, who was living in Turkey at the time, had promised her father she would never allow him to be put into care and became frustrated with the situation. In the following years, until his death in January 2013, she fought with the authorities to free him from the care home and even ended up imprisoned for six weeks under the secret Court of Protection. Details surrounding the case have now come to light during a three-day inquest to determine the circumstances leading up to Mr Maddocks' death. An inquest into the death of John Maddocks, 80, (right), from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, has heard how his daughter Wanda, 52 (left), was jailed for taking him out of a care home and to her Turkish home in 2009 . Wanda told the hearing how she was desperate to free her father from the first care home because she claims it was an 'awful place for him to be' and that he thought about taking his own life while there. The property developer arranged for the former painter and decorator to be moved to a nearby privately-run residential home after just two months, but said her father was so miserable that he would try to escape by fleeing on a bus or changing his clothes to disguise himself. She desperately wanted to take her father to her home in Turkey, where she believed he would enjoy better quality of life and recuperate. However, she found out from the authorities that she had no influence over her father's care without getting power of attorney over his affairs. She tried to obtain power of attorney but was told she would need up to \u00a315,000 in legal fees. Her father was later moved to another Staffordshire care home in November 2010, but Mr Maddocks apparently hated it just as much as the other homes. Wanda said: 'He was depressed there. He wouldn't eat.' The final straw came on Christmas Day 2010 when Wanda visited her father but was told she was only allowed one hour with him, supervised by staff. She said she called her three brothers, Ivan, 55, Wayne, 54, and Eden, 49, who lived near their father and visited him regularly, and between them they hatched a plan to free him. The following day, on Boxing Day 2010, the three men went to the care home, got their father out of the fire door, took him for a meal and then called Wanda. She then took him to her home in Turkey, where he remained for 13 weeks. Mr Maddocks (above), who apparently hated being in care homes, died in hospital on January 8, 2013 .

Although five points clear, some chinks in Jose Mourinho's side's armour were bared for the world to see on Wednesday. Here, Sportsmail lays out five things the Portuguese manager must do to end the season in style. Rediscover the attacking flow . Anyone watching the limp defensive display against Paris Saint-Germain would find it hard to remember, but for the first half of the season, Chelsea were breathtaking. The creative hub of Eden Hazard, Oscar and Cesc Fabregas, the fearsome Diego Costa in full, free-scoring behemoth mode up front, glued together with the tireless Nemanja Matic and a rock-solid back four. Chelsea need to rediscover the attacking form that saw Eden Hazard as the league's best creative force . Diego Costa nets Chelsea's third in a demolition at Swansea that showcased the side's attacking brilliance . Take the departed Andre Schurrle\u2019s goal at Burnley in the season opener, Fabregas\u2019s strike at Crystal Palace, any of the five netted at Swansea\u2026 it seemed the Blues had finally meshed typical Mourinho steel with the beautiful attacking craved by Roman Abramovich. Mar 15 - Southampton (H) Mar 22 - Hull (A) Apr 04 - Stoke (H) Apr 12 - QPR (A) Apr 18 - Manchester United (H) Apr 26 - Arsenal (A) Apr 29 - Leicester City (A) May 02 - Crystal Palace (H) May 16 - West Brom (A) May 24 - Sunderland (H) In recent weeks, however, Mourinho has reverted to defensive type \u2013 to the side\u2019s downfall against 10-man PSG. With a host of winnable games left among the remaining Premier League matches, putting a few teams to the sword in style would do wonders for confidence in the home straight. Use the whole squad . Mourinho has used just 22 players in the league this season \u2013 fewer than any other team. The boss would point to being five points clear at the division\u2019s summit as justification, but the stars of the side being tired out leads to displays like Wednesday\u2019s. Felipe Luis and Loic Remy must have envisaged getting more playing time when moving to Stamford Bridge in the summer, while Juan Cuadrado would hope to have made more of an impact in his two months.

A Brutally honest letter written by Roald Dahl to a teenager who asked him for advice on his A-level project has surfaced. Budding writer Jay Williams wrote to the author in 1980 asking him to look at a short story he had written. The 17-year-old did not expect a reply. But Mr Williams, who grew up near Carlisle, was delighted when he received a typed note signed by the man himself. However, in true Dahl style, there was a sting in the tail. However the letter was not what the eager teenager had expected with Dahl heavily criticising his use of 'beastly adjectives'. The correspondence read: 'Dear Jay, You are asking too much of me. You must realise I get an awful lot of these letters and you can't expect me to write your thesis for you. 'It should be fairly obvious to you what the role of a short story is in modern literature. It's a big one. 'Study particularly the American short story writers like O'Henry and Runyon and Hawthorne and Poe, and lots and lots of English ones. 'If you want any dope on me there have been an awful lot of profiles in English magazines over the past year starting with the February 1979 edition of Vogue. 'I have read your story. I don't think it's bad, but you must stop using too many adjectives. Roald Dahl responded saying the teenager was 'asking too much,' but that said that he had read his story . 'Study Hemingway, particularly his early work and learn how to write short sentences and how to eschew all those beastly adjectives. 'Surely it is better to say 'She was a tall girl with a bosom' than 'She was a tall girl with a shapely, prominent bosom', or some such rubbish. The first one says it all.' Jay, who now lives in Bristol, recently found the letter while going through old boxes and posted a picture on Twitter. The image was posted alongside the caption: 'In 1980, as a spotty teenager, I wrote to Roald Dahl asking for advice on writing. Here is his priceless response.' Amazingly it has now been re-tweeted more than 1,700 times and has been favourited by almost 2,400 people. Jay, who set up PR company 72point, said: 'As a callow youth, I was expecting him to tell me how marvellous the story was, and offer to introduce me to his publisher. Mr Williams in his teens, left, and the celebrated author Roald Dahl, right, who replied to his letter . 'Instead he gave me this fairly forthright criticism. 'The story was for an A-Level English Literature project, and was probably really self-indulgent, overflowing with flowery adjectives, which Dahl quite rightly bristled at.

Vodafone said three pairs of the world's fastest bird were spotted nesting in and around masts across London and could be slowing down networks. Engineers involved in a \u00a3200million 4G upgrading project in the capital found nests on a church, hospital and office block in the last few days. Vodafone engineers discovered the bird of prey nesting in and around masts across London (stock image) Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 it is illegal to disturb the birds while they are nesting . Peregrine falcons became almost extinct in the 1960s after a population crash caused by pesticides. They have been a protected species since 1981. Legislation controlling use of pesticides meant their numbers slowly recovered. Its long, pointed wings and short tail allow it to be fast and agile while flying for prey. They eat medium sized birds, small ducks and pigeons. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds estimates there are 1,402 breeding pairs in the UK. They nest in areas they consider resemble a cliff-face, such as tower blocks and church towers. Phone masts are a popular nesting site for the bird of prey and the company will be unable to remove the nests until the chicks are hatched and leave, which could take up to three months. It is a criminal offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 to disturb the birds while they are nesting. If prosecuted, offenders face six months\u2019 imprisonment and a fine of up to \u00a35,000. Vodafone says this will cause delays to service upgrades and and customers could face disruption to the current network as they reroute mobile traffic from the affected sites to other masts. Simon Gordon, of Vodafone, told MailOnline: 'There are three nests in London. They are in Shadwell, Lewisham and Hammersmith and there is a pair in a small place in Hampshire. 'We have to call in the experts to work out exactly where the nest is and we can then upgrade the network or leave them alone for two to three months.' He added: 'We apologise to any customers who experience a dip in service, but we have to respect the environment and the law. 'This is the first time to my knowledge we've had this in London, so for us it's unprecedented. They can sometimes nest on the mast itself which is like a big metal climbing frame or use the box underneath where the computer stuff sits. There are believed to be around 30 nesting pairs in Greater London, and six more birds have moved in to nest in Hammersmith, Shadwell and Lewisham (stock image) Peregrine falcons - which can reach speeds of 240mph - have enjoyed a revival in the UK in the past few decades after their existence was threatened by pesticides in the 1960s.

An illegal immigrant who had twice been deported from Britain was caught with 2.2lb of cannabis on a train - after sneaking back into the UK for a third time.

The 33-year-old admitted possessing the class B drug with intent to supply. Ta first came to the attention of UK authorities in 2008 when he was arrested in connection with a burglary. He was not convicted but was deported to Vietnam. He was arrested in April 2012 after being recruited as a \u2018gardener\u2019 growing cannabis for a south-east Asian gang and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Derby Crown Court was not told how Ta made it back into the country for a third time, but prosecutor Karen Davenport-Coles said he was arrested in January when British Transport Police went on to the train where there was an \u2018extremely strong smell of cannabis\u2019. Laura Chaplin, defending, said, told the court on Monday that Ta, of Leeds, returned to the UK for a third time having been \u2018the victim of a very serious assault in Vietnam, through owing money.\u2019 She said a knife had been used in the attack and threats had been made against his family. Miss Chaplin said Ta had agreed to transport the cannabis for payment after finding himself \u2018in a very desperate situation.\u2019 Following the hearing, Councillor Alan Graves, leader of Derby\u2019s UKIP group said: \u2018Clearly, he\u2019s not the sort of person we want in this country.

And, on a record-breaking day Taylor passed his mentor Alistair Campbell for the most one-day international hundreds scored with his eighth ton. For India, they passed their first real test as they stretched their World Cup winning streak to 10 \u2013 behind only Australia on 25. On a green wicket, batting first always seemed like the ideal option but having won the toss Dhoni said he wanted his side to be tested and face a chase, so chose to bowl. It seemed unlikely that Dhoni was going to be granted his wish as his consistently impressive trio of fast bowlers, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma, each took an early wicket to reduce Zimbabwe to 33-3. Plenty of supporters were still finding their way into Eden Park when a fuller Yadav delivery caught the outside edge of Hamilton Masakadza\u2019s bat (2) and Dohni took a low catch behind the stumps. Raina's unbeaten 110 earned him the Player of the Match trophy as India kept up 100 per cent record . Zimbabwe skipper Brendan Taylor hit an impressive 138 in his final international match . Six balls later Chamu Chibhabha (7) followed his fellow opener back into the hut as he sent a thick edge into the hand of Shihkar Dhawan in the slips off the bowling of Shami. And when Solomon Mire was caught behind off Mohit for a turgid nine from 22-balls, Zimbabwe looked to be buckling against the world champions. However, it arguably brought Zimbabwe\u2019s two best batsmen, Taylor and Sean Williams, to the crease and together they rebuilt their side\u2019s innings. The pair shared a 93-run fourth wicket partnership as both batsman battled against each other to reach their half-centuries first, with the chase won by captain Taylor. Williams (50) followed suit the very next ball but then fell tamely has he attempted to whack the ball hard past bowler Ravichandran Ashwin only to be caught sharply by the spinner. Taylor though wasn\u2019t willing to leave the international stage without a personal milestone and he found a willing partner in Craig Ervine to help him to his ton.

Most families are still on their energy firm's standard variable tariff \u2013 two years after David Cameron promised to force suppliers to put all customers on the best deal. The standard packages are \u00a3180 a year more expensive than the cheapest tariff, with some customers paying nearly \u00a3250 a year more. Three in four households are paying up to \u00a3250 a year more on gas and electricity than they have to, because they are on a standard variable tariff rather than the cheapest deal . Shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint said Mr Cameron had promised 17 times in the House of Commons to make energy suppliers automatically put all customers on their supplier's lowest tariff. She said: 'More than two years after David Cameron promised to make energy companies put all customers on the lowest tariff, millions of households are still being routinely overcharged by hundreds of pounds every single year. 'That's why the next Labour government will freeze energy prices until 2017, so that bills can fall but not rise, give the regulator the power to force energy suppliers to cut their prices and end overcharging once and for all.' Last month the Competition and Markets Authority released early findings of an inquiry into the sector that the Big Six were overcharging millions of loyal customers by up to \u00a3234 a year. During Prime Minster's Question's Time, David Cameron pledged to force energy firms to put customers on the cheapest tariff . Its findings showed 95% of the UK's 19 million dual fuel customers - those who take gas and electricity from the same company - could have saved between \u00a3158 and \u00a3234 by switching tariff or supplier. The CMA found the Big Six had consistently charged higher prices for standard variable tariffs than for other deals such as fixed tariffs. Energy UK chief executive Lawrence Slade said: 'Standard variable tariffs are just that, the standard price a company is offering energy to customers. Labour's Caroline Flint said Mr Cameron had promised 17 times to make energy suppliers put all customers on the lowest tariff . 'Part of the cost of energy is an assurance that the gas and electricity has been bought months in advance, making sure energy will be available to customers when it is needed. 'New fixed-price deals are able to take advantage of short-term changes in costs and usually offer lower prices than the standard deals, often for a year or two. 'However, the important thing for customers to remember is there are a wide range of deals available in the market. 'If a customer thinks they might be able to save some money by switching tariff or company, they should log on to a comparison site or call their supplier.'

Since they were sentenced to death, Chan converted to Christianity and studied to become a pastor while behind bars. At the same time, Sukuraman - under the tutelage of Ben Quilty - has become an artist, even teaching inmates how to paint. This turnaround in the pair has led many to believe they have been rehabilitated.

With her 50th birthday approaching, Simone Reeves decided that celebrating with a cruise or party wasn\u2019t going to be enough. Neither was she interested in new clothes or a fancy meal. Instead the grandmother from Kent treated herself to a new stomach. The \u00a34,800 operation was, she says, the ultimate 50th birthday treat to herself. Simone, who has three grown-up children, is one of a growing number of women said to be marking their milestone birthdays with surgery. And she says the decision to go under the knife just weeks before her 50th was one of the best she has ever made. Explaining her decision she said: \u2018A tummy tuck was something I had thought about but the time never seemed right. \u2018Then I was facing a new decade, my circumstances had changed dramatically and it seemed not only the perfect time, but also the perfect way to mark the occasion. \u2018It was a lot of money to spend on a birthday treat but I felt I deserved it, and because I had divorced and downsized, for the first time in my life I had the money available. \u2018Now thanks to my operation I have entered my fifties looking and feeling better than ever.\u2019 Entering her forties had been a very different experience for Simone, who found she was increasingly conscious of what she calls her \u2018jelly belly.\u2019 After giving birth to Ben, now 34, Candice, 28, and Nicholas, 27, by caesarean, she had always been unhappy with the scar. Then aged 41 she underwent a hysterectomy and the additional scarring meant her tummy \u2018never recovered.\u2019 She explains: \u2018I was left with an apron of saggy skin that I absolutely hated. I knew no amount of exercise would change it. \u2018I did my best to hide it in Spanx underwear and always wore shorts over my bikini. I just assumed that at my age it was too late to fix or worth worrying about.' But that changed when in 2001 Simone separated from her husband Peter after 21 years of marriage. She says: \u2018Peter was wonderful and had always accepted my body. It was never a problem for him so I tried to not let it be a problem for me. \u2018But I never expected or imagined that I would be single again at my time in life and couldn\u2019t even imagine dating again with my stomach as it was.\u2019 Approaching her 50th she decided to take action. She said: \u2018We\u2019ve all heard the phrase fabulous at fifty but to be honest I felt anything but.\u2019 So she began researching tummy tucks on line and booked a consultation with Transform: 'I was incredibly nervous but the surgeon put me at ease by explaining in great detail how he would perform the operation.

+{"article": "Earth may have been witness to a stunning aurora displays, but they are nothing compared to what can be seen on Mars. Because Mars has a very thin atmosphere, the sun's energetic particles hit it directly and penetrate deeper creating incredibly bright and vast light shows. And their behaviour doesn't always follow existing rules. Nasa scientists were recently stunned to discover aurora that reaches deep into the Martian atmosphere. Artist\u2019s conception of Maven's Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph (IUVS) observing the \u201cChristmas Lights Aurora\" on Mars. Maven observations show that aurora on Mars is similar to Earth\u2019s \"Northern Lights\" but penetrates deep into the atmosphere . Earth has a magnetic shield, known as a magnetosphere, that protects its atmosphere from radiation from the sun. Aurora take place on Earth because some of the sun's energetic particles have managed to break through this shield. Mars, however, only has a very thin atmosphere. Its magnetosphere was lost billions of years ago turning a once watery world into the barren planet we see today. When solar particles hit the red planet, they can hit the atmosphere directly and penetrate deeper creating incredibly bright and vast light shows. Maven's Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) also observed what scientists have named 'Christmas lights.' For five days just before Dec. 25, Maven saw a bright ultraviolet auroral glow spanning Mars' northern hemisphere. Aurora, known on Earth as northern or southern lights, are caused by energetic particles like electrons crashing down into the atmosphere and causing the gas to glow. 'What's especially surprising about the aurora we saw is how deep in the atmosphere it occurs - much deeper than at Earth or elsewhere on Mars,' said Arnaud Stiepen, IUVS team member at the University of Colorado. 'The electrons producing it must be really energetic.' The source of the energetic particles appears to be the sun. Maven's Solar Energetic Particle instrument detected a huge surge in energetic electrons at the onset of the aurora. Billions of years ago, Mars lost a global protective magnetic field like Earth has, so solar particles can directly strike the atmosphere. The electrons producing the aurora have about 100 times more energy than you get from a spark of house current, so they can penetrate deeply in the atmosphere. They also made the unexpected discovery of dust about 93 miles (150 km) to 190 miles (300 km) above the red planet's surface. Although the source and composition of the dust are unknown, Nasa said there is no hazard to Maven probe and other spacecraft orbiting Mars. A map of Maven's auroral detections in December 2014 overlaid on Mars\u2019 surface. The map shows that the aurora was widespread in the northern hemisphere, not tied to any geographic location. The aurora was detected in all observations during a 5-day period . 'If the dust originates from the atmosphere, this suggests we are missing some fundamental process in the Martian atmosphere,' said Laila Andersson of the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospherics and Space Physics (CU LASP), Boulder, Colorado. It is unknown if the cloud is a temporary phenomenon or", "summary": "Maven probe spotted ultraviolet auroral glow in northern hemisphere .

Scroll down for video . Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes for 'insulting Islam', could now face the death penalty . Leaked video footage taken on a mobile phone showed the first flogging session, as a shackled and standing Mr Badawi was hit on his legs and back by a policeman .

But today, prosecutors presented the jury with a never-before-seen photo that tells quite a different story. Seen in the bedroom of his family home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev sits at a computer chair and points to a black flag behind him - not unlike the kind used by extremist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS. Tsarnaev's former best friend Stephen Silva testified in court on Tuesday that he saw the flag hanging in Dzhokhar's room, the one time he visited the apartment to watch The Walking Dead. Scroll down for video . Decoration: A new picture emerged of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in court on Tuesday, showing the accused Boston bomber posing underneath a black banner of Islam in the bedroom of his Cambridge family home . Silva was also the friend who lent Tsarnaev the gun used to shoot an MIT police officer in a confrontation a few days after the bombings. While the so-called Black Banner or Black Standard has been co-opted by Islamist extremist groups in recent years, it has much deeper origins in the Muslim world. The prophet Muhammed used a black standard when he fought, which is why it continues to be used as a symbol for modern-day jihadists. According to Boston University master Arabic lecturer Giselle Khoury, the flag reads: 'There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah's Messenger'.

Cressida Dick, who was in charge of the bungled operation that led to the death of innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, received the honour during an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London . The former assistant police commissioner stepped down from the force in December last year, after 31 years of service, and took up a secretive job with the Government's Foreign Office. Her departure came just months after she was moved from a key counter-terror role at the Metropolitan Police. The controversial 54-year-old was in charge of specialist operations, including counter-terrorism, between July 2011 and summer 2014.

She gave evidence at an Old Bailey trial and the inquest in 2013, coming close to tears as she described the 'horrible'' and 'terrible' tragedy. She denied that she gave an order that Mr de Menezes must be stopped from getting on to a train at Stockwell 'at all costs' and also denied instructing the firearms teams to use lethal force to stop him. Ms Dick, who quit Scotland Yard to take up a secretive role in the Foreign Office last year, wore her Met Police uniform as she received her honour from the Queen.

In an op-ed published on Friday, former model Jewel Allison claimed Cosby forced himself upon her after inviting her to dinner and slipping something into her wine, which made her ill. She wrote that after other accusers came forward, she was not relieved, but instead terrified. Jewel Allison (right, next to Cosby) was a young model when she met Bill Cosby in the late 1980s. She claims that the TV star (left) sexually assaulted her at his home during a dinner . 'As an African-American woman, I felt the stakes were even higher. Historic images of black men being vilified en masse as sexually violent sent chills through my body,' she wrote in the Washington Post. Allison claimed that the night of the dinner party Cosby grabbed her hand and placed it on his genitals. 'That was my sexual assault by this comedian,' she told the New York Daily News.

'He got away with it because he was hiding behind the image of Cliff Huxtable.' But in her op-ed with the Post she said that coming forward with her story would help bring down the entertainer, but she 'feared it would undermine the entire African-American community'. Allison wrote that she didn't come out with her accusations earlier because she didn't want to see 'yet another African-American man vilified in the media'. She said she didn't know if her loyalty should lie with 'women who were sexually victimized or with black America, which has been systematically victimized'. About three dozen women have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct in incidents dating back to the 1960s. The comedian has denied all claims . Like many in America, she watched The Cosby Show, and saw the Dr Huxtable character as a 'much-needed wholesome model of success'. The image of who she saw playing the man swiftly changed on the night she claims he raped her.

In an apparent poke at organised religion, Pastafarians say they believe in the 'spaghetti monster' and adherents say their religion is as legitimate as any other.

Savage attack: A group of men hacked off six-year-old Baraka Cosmas' right hand on Saturday night . Trade: He is the latest in a long line of albino victims in Tanzania, targeted because their skin is thought to have magical properties which can bring luck and wealth - something people are willing to pay high prices for . Shockingly, Baraka was the third child to be attacked because of the colour of his skin in just over three months. Eighteen-month-old Yohana Bahati was snatched from his home less than a month ago, while four-year-old Pendo Emmanuelle Nandi was taken at the end of December. Yohana's mutilated body was found a few days later, while Pendo has never been seen again. All three cases are linked to a trade in albino body parts, fuelled by the high prices they fetch and a belief in the 'magical' properties of the skin and limbs, said to bring wealth and luck. The men who viciously attacked Baraka at the weekend are likely to have been little more than petty criminals at worst, carrying out the bidding of a witchdoctor. The witchdoctor will have paid a significant amount for the limb - but who paid the witchdoctor is likely to remain unclear. Jonathan Beale, managing director of Standing Voice, a charity working to protect Tanzania's albinos, says until these people are rooted out, government efforts to curb the attacks and killings are likely to have little impact.

That is where Kane comes in. Italy and England may be depleted in Turin, but certain standards remain. Italy\u2019s defence will be of a calibre England have not experienced since the World Cup. Their ambition will be greater than that of previous opponents, too. The Spurs striker headed in against Lithuania shortly after coming on as a substitute at Wembley . Kane celebrates his first international goal as England cruised to a 4-0 win over lowly Lithunania . This is a genuine test for Kane, in a way his cameo role against Lithuania wasn\u2019t.

It is an upgrade. And that is what England require of Kane, too: an upgrade.

Nicola Holding was described as a 'pillar of the community' for her role at St Boniface's church and pre-school in Plymouth, Devon.

Holding, 50, pleaded guilty to fraud two years ago, but repeatedly failed to turn up to be sentenced, blaming a variety of serious illnesses. Jailed: Nicola Holding has been sentenced to prison for stealing from the church where she was treasurer . Yesterday she was finally sentenced to two and a half years in prison after arriving at court in a wheelchair wrapped in blankets. She whimpered during the hearing with her head slumped to the side, and at one point was given a sugary drink to help her diabetes. Kelly Scrivener, prosecuting, said that Holding had stolen \u00a390,000 between 2008 and 2011, forging documents to cover up the fraud, and had repaid just \u00a324,000. She said \u00a37,700 was paid out to Gala Coral online gambling and \u00a36,700 to Ikea, while Holding had also claimed expenses for her voluntary role helping out at the pre-school. In June 2011, Holding went to Reverend Alison Shaw 'in hysterics' saying she had 'got things in a muddle', the court heard.

He also said that Holding, a divorced mother of two, had falsely claimed to be housebound when she was caught on camera outside her home.

Young people put her on a pedestal and she preached to the adults. \u201c'She was a very moral person who told them how to behave.

+{"article": "Common sense would suggest that when molten lava meets a sheet of ice it will simply melt through. But geologist Professor Jeff Karson and artist Professor Bob Wysocki from Syracuse University in New York found that the results can be far more spectacular. Using a lava furnace to heat gravel to temperatures of more than 1,100\u00b0C (2,000\u00b0F) they were able to pour it onto a slab of ice to produce a seething, bubbling mass of molten rock. Lava turns ice directly into steam which bubbles up through the molten rock to form bizarre glass bubbles . Professor Karson, who has been pouring lava in a series of experiments to better understand how it behaves and forms geological formations, described it as 'scrambled eggs from hell'. Rather than melting straight through the ice, the lava instead flows rapidly on top of it on a cushion of steam. Steam from the ice below bubbles up through the molten rock as it tries to escape, forming a layer of glassy bubbles. Professor Karson said: 'The first guess is that it is going to explode or it is tunnel down and make a hole in the ice. Of course it didn't do any of those things. 'It did things we just didn't really expect.' Professor Karson and Professor Wysocki have together set up the Lava Project at Syracuse University's department of Earth Sciences to study how lava behaves in different situations. They create lava by melting basalt gravel in a giant gas fired furnace and then pouring it over sand, ice and through water. According to Alistair Linsell, a nuclear chemist working with EDF Energy and a science presenter with the Science Channel, the extreme heat of the lava is what causes the strange formations to form when it hits the ice. He said: 'The lava is so hot that when it is poured on to the ice, the ice turns not into water but straight into steam. 'The formation of all of this steam helps the lava to flow. It is sitting on top of a blanket of steam rather than the ice itself, this means the friction between the lava and the ice surface is very low. The lava flows rapidly across the surface of the ice on a cushion of escaping steam it creates as it moves . 'As the lava cools we start to get a thick black layer forming on top and that starts to trap those bubbles of superheated steam inside the rock. 'It is kind of like a natural form of glass blowing.'

Now a new method has revealed the quickest and easiest way to to do it - and it only involves three slices of a knife. Thanks to a new 'life hack' video from YouTube user Rumble Viral, an orange is opened up in a matter of seconds, and with minimal juice-loss and squashed segments. Method: Cut two opposite ends off the orange (left) and make an incision on one side (right) Easy peasy: Then cut into one side until reaching the centre (left) and pull the entire thing apart (right) The 39-second video shows exactly the best way to best open up the citrus fruit in simple steps. Firstly, you cut off the top and the bottom of the orange. Next, you make a cut into the one side of the orange, until the knife reaches the fruit's centre. Then, it's just a case of spreading the skin open to reveal all the intact and neat segments. Peel and enjoy! The viral video has already racked up 420,000 views in a short time, and many commentators are raving about the simple yet innovative method. 'This is definitely gong to save me some time. It normally take me forever just to peel one,' says one commentator of the video. Another has commented: 'Good tip. Next time I don't have excuses to juice the oranges instead of eating them whole.' Oranges are a versatile fruit and can be eaten fresh, processed in a juice, or the fragrant peel can be added to dishes for flavouring. The citrus fruit is great as a quick snack, an excellent source of vitamin C and also has high antioxidant properties, so it's no wonder that quicker methods of access are being attempted. The only argument that people have against the three-slice method is that while it works swiftly in a kitchen environment, you're at a loss if you're lacking a knife and chopping board.

Some 54 per cent of people thought David Cameron had triumphed, which is a slender win for the Tory camp who have grown complacent about the idea that Mr Miliband's dire personal ratings will stop his path to Number 10. Two snap polls after the TV election contest gave David Cameron the lead - but only just . David Cameron and Ed Miliband were interviewed by Jeremy Paxman and questioned by an audience of voters as part of the first TV election contest of the campaign . Pollster ICM said its snap verdict giving a narrow victory for Mr Cameron in the first of the leaders' election broadcasts represented the company's 'best guess' of the nationwide response. In is survey for the Guardian it found that 46 per cent felt that Mr Cameron had the best arguments, as against 44 per cent who said the same of Mr Miliband.

Dr Brandenburg will be presenting his theory at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, Texas at the Town Center Exhibit Area this evening. If you missed the story first time around, be mindful that there\u2019s quite a lot to take in. He says that ancient Martians known as Cydonians and Utopians were wiped out by a nuclear attack from another alien race. Although he does not go into much detail about the alien races, he points to a number of \u2018artifacts\u2019 on the surface that he says are remnants of an intelligent society. Aside from this outlandish theories, Dr John Brandenburg has led a rather more normal, and prestigious, career. He has a PhD in Theoretical Plasma Physics from the University of California at Davis. Currently he works as a plasma physicist at Orbital Technologies in Madison Wisconsin. He has worked on a variety of propulsion technologies and previously was an independent consultant on Space Missile Defense and Directed Energy Weapons. Dr Brandenburg has authored a number of books with his latest being Death on Mars: The Discovery of a Planetary Nuclear Massacre. And he warned we should also be fearful of an attack from this supposedly hostile alien race that wiped out the Martians. A thin layer of radioactive substances including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium on the surface provide evidence for this theory. And nuclear isotopes in the atmosphere apparently resemble hydrogen bomb tests - which he says occurred in two places on Mars, Cydonia Mensa and Galaxias Chaos. \u2018We have now found evidence of the nuclear melt-glass Trinitite (formed on Earth at the site of nuclear weapon air-bursts) at both sites of the hypothesised explosions and this will be presented at the conference,\u2019 Dr Brandenburg revealed to MailOnline ahead of his talk. \u2018This strongly supports my hypothesis of massive nuclear airbursts.\u2019 \u2018So far no scientist has offered any other explanation for this body of data.\u2019 Dr Brandenburg will be presenting his theory at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, Texas at the Town Center Exhibit Area this evening.

From wear-and-tear on the canine tooth, they say that the individual it belonged to was quite old when she died and probably gnawed on bones and crunched on hard nuts. A tooth belonging to the Peking Man \u2013 an ancient human ancestor that lived between 750,000 and 200,000 years ago - has been re-discovered after being lost for decades in an unopened box in a museum . Fossils, including a number of teeth, were found in caves in Zhoukoudian near Beijing in the 1920s, but most of the pieces were lost in the chaos of World War Two. The tooth surfaced in 2011 in a box that had never been unpacked or studied since it was shipped from China in the 1920s. The tooth indicates that Peking Man (a bust is pictured) gnawed on bones and ate nuts . Two Chinese palaeontologists, Liu Wu and Tong Haowen from the Institute of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology (IVPP) in Beijing have now examined the tooth and it has at last been described in the journal Acta Anthropologica Sinica. They quickly determined that it was a canine tooth from a Peking Man. \u2018It is a spectacular find,\u2019 said Per Ahlberg, who was one of the team who came across it in the box. \u2018We can see numerous details that tell us about this individual\u2019s life. \u2018The crown of the tooth is relatively small, which indicates that it belonged to a woman. \u2018The tooth is quite worn, so the individual must have been quite old when she died. \u2018In addition, two large chips have been knocked out of the enamel, as if hit by something, or perhaps by biting into something really hard such as a bone or a hard nut. \u2018At least one of the chips was old when the individual died, since it is partly worn down.\u2019 Dr Ahlberg told MailOnline the woman may have been between 30 and 40 years old when she died, which was a ripe age at the time.

Not so much, claims one former employee who is suing the social networking giant for gender and race discrimination. Despite employing Sheryl Sandberg, one of the nation's leading advocates for working mothers, Chia Hong claims she was belittled by her boss for taking time off to volunteer at her children's school, forced to served drinks to male co-workers and told she should have just stayed home to take care of her child. Hong filed a lawsuit with the San Mateo County Superior Court Monday against the social networking giant claiming that her former boss, Anil Wilson, harassed and 'belittled' her for being a woman and for being Taiwanese. In the lawsuit, Hong claims that Wilson regularly 'ignored' and 'belittled' her opinions and input during group meetings where she was one of few women present. Wilson once allegedly asked Hong why she didn't 'just stay home and take care of her child instead of having a career' and scolded her for taking one day off each month to volunteer at her child's school -- a practice permitted by the company. A Facebook spokesperson denied the allegations and told Recode that the company has made progress in matters related to gender, diversity, and equality. 'In this case we have substantive disagreements on the facts,' the spokesperson said 'and we believe the record shows the employee was treated fairly.' Hong alleges that she was told she was not part of 'the team' because 'she looks different and talks differently than other team members.' As of 2014, 69 percent of Facebook's employees world-wide are male and 31 percent are female, according to Tech Republic. Fair Treatment: A Facebook spokesperson denied the allegations and said that Hong was treated fairly . A diversity report showed that more than half of the company's employees identify as white. She claims she was ordered to 'organize parties and serve drinks to her male colleagues' -- actions neither part of her job description nor requested of males at the company. The mother says she experienced much harassment and, after she filed a complaint, the company fired her in October 2013 replacing her with an Indian male who, she claims, is 'less qualified' and 'less experienced,' Fox reports. The suit states that Hong, who began working for the company in 2010, received good performance reviews, pay raises, and even a promotion. But once she filed the harassment complaint, she received a negative performance evaluation and was fired. High-Profile: Hong is being represented by Lawless & Lawless, the San Francisco firm representing Ellen Pao (photographed) in the high-profile gender discrimination case against Silicon Valley's venture capital firm . Hong is suing the company for damages stemming from sex and race harassment and discrimination, retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, discharge in violation of public policy, legal fees, and punitive damages.

The Deputy Prime Minister said the idea that elected politicians were being 'snooped on' because of their views 'appalled' him and urged the Home Secretary Theresa May to order a wider probe into undercover police tactics to investigate allegations. It comes after a former officer, Peter Francis, said he read files on 10 MPs during his 11 years working for the Metropolitan Police's now notorious Special Demonstration Squad. The Deputy Prime Minister said the idea that elected politicians were being 'snooped on' because of their views 'appalled' him . He said the files included Labour's now deputy leader Harriet Harman , former cabinet minister Peter Hain and Jack Straw, later home secretary.

The former officer claimed he personally collected information on Diane Abbott, Jeremy Corbyn and the late Bernie Grant and said special branch collected intelligence on Ken Livingstone, Joan Ruddock, Dennis Skinner, and Tony Benn. The pink files were 'very extensive' he said, and included details of a subject's political beliefs, family relationships, personal background, education, and finances. Some contained details of 'personal and private matters', he said. If true, the files on many of the subjects existed years after they entered Parliament. Four of those on his list became ministers during his time in Special Branch.

Speaking on LBC this morning, Mr Clegg said the allegations, if true, were 'absolutely terrible'. He said: 'The idea that the police snooping and monitoring elected politicians in effect because of their views - because they were deemed to be from the left, that they were somehow dodgy - it absolutely appalls me.

+{"article": "Switch off? The sale of halogen bulbs could be banned as part of the EU's energy-saving drive . The sale of halogen bulbs which are used in millions of homes could be banned as early as next year as part of the EU\u2019s energy-saving drive. It follows the prohibition of traditional incandescent bulbs, which have been phased out in an effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Millions of halogen bulbs are sold in Britain every year, often for use in kitchen and bathroom spotlights. Any ban could consequently cause enormous inconvenience. The European Commission and green campaigners say halogens are not much more efficient than traditional bulbs so should be replaced by energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs \u2013 known as CFLs \u2013 and LEDs. Yet these alternatives can be as much as 15 times more expensive. There is the additional problem that some LEDs do not work with the dimmer switches and wiring circuits currently used by halogen bulbs, while CFLs can take up to five minutes to reach full brightness. The EC is due to hold a vote on the issue in April, when it could agree to go ahead with the proposed 2016 ban or push back the date to 2018. Consumer group Which? argued there are good reasons for a delay. A spokesman said: \u2018Half of Which? members still have halogen bulbs in their home and more than two in five have halogen spotlights. Delaying the ban until 2018 would allow more time for some of the compatibility and user issues to be resolved.\u2019 And a campaign group of manufacturers called LightingEurope is demanding any ban on halogens is delayed until 2020 at the earliest, in order to minimise the impact on consumers and the industry. The group\u2019s secretary general, Diederik de Stoppelaar, said: \u2018A phase-out before 2020 is going to be costly and inconvenient to consumers. The industry supports the change to more energy efficient lighting... however, an earlier date does not allow for alternative developing technologies to be widely available.\u2019 But Which? added that despite the inconvenience, there are some positives to switching. The new bulbs last longer and, because they are more energy efficient, they will cut electricity bills over time. Typically, halogens use 10 per cent less energy than incandescent bulbs, while CFLs use 60-80 per cent less and LEDs up to 90 per cent less. LED lights are so efficient that a 5-watt bulb is, in theory, equivalent to a 35-watt halogen. But while a typical 35-watt halogen spotlight costs about \u00a31, a 5-watt LED can be anything from \u00a35 to \u00a315. The managing director of British lighting company BLT Direct, Steven Ellwood, supports the 2016 ban. He said: \u2018We understand the concerns of experts who want to delay the ban in order to iron out some issues. [But] implementing the ban sooner rather than later would see plenty of benefits for consumers, not to mention the environment.\u2019 Other advocates of the 2016 deadline argue that the energy savings for Britain as a whole could be so large that it would eliminate the risk of", "summary": "Follows ban of incandescent bulbs in bid to cut greenhouse gas emissions .

A motorist who ran drink-drive awareness classes has been banned from the road after being caught three times over the limit. But Alison Baker, of Pinhoe, Devon, was allowed by a judge to attend the course she used to run - which would see her ban reduced by a quarter if completed.

But the garage cashier was concerned she was not in a fit state to drive on the second visit and told police, Exeter Magistrates\u2019 Court heard. Officers turned up at her home, and when she eventually answered the door she was so drunk she had to grip walls and furniture to stand up. Baker had denied drink-driving but was convicted after a trial last month, before being banned from the road for two years yesterday. In an account rejected by a district judge, she blamed the high reading on post-driving consumption and said she had downed one and a half bottles of wine in about ten minutes before the police came to her home. Yesterday, Sonia Croft, prosecuting, said Baker was a trainer on drink-drive courses and should not be allowed her to attend such classes.

The New York Civil Liberties and others had asked the court to order Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan to release the grand jury transcript, including the testimony of the officer involved, Daniel Pantaleo, and dozens of witnesses, detailed descriptions of evidence and other documentation. A similar step was voluntarily taken by the prosecutor in Ferguson, Missouri, when a grand jury there refused to indict an officer in the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Not important enough? New York State Justice William Garnett said the parties who brought the lawsuit did not establish a 'compelling and particularized need' to release it . Both Garner and Brown were black; the officers involved are white. The deaths sparked nationwide protests about the treatment of communities of color by law enforcement and a debate about the role of race in policing. Civil liberties lawyers had argued that the public needed to reconcile the widely watched video of the arrest with the decision not to indict the officer involved.

'What would they use the minutes for? The only answer which the court heard was the possibility of effecting legislative change,' he wrote. 'That proffered need is purely speculative and does not satisfy the requirements of the law.' Donovan argued that the disclosure would damage the credibility of prosecutors seeking to assure both grand jurors and witnesses that details of their participation would be kept from public view. Following the grand jury's decision, Donovan asked for some information to be made public, but it didn't include testimony or exhibits shown to jurors.

The judge also agreed with arguments by Donovan's office that secrecy was needed to assure witnesses that they would not be subjected to public criticism for their cooperation. 'This concern is particularly cogent in 'high publicity cases' where the witnesses' truthful and accurate testimony is vital,' Garnett wrote. 'It is in such notorious cases that witnesses' cooperation and honesty should be encouraged \u2014 not discouraged \u2014 for fear of disclosure.'

A Cambridge computer science experts believes the small microchips' days are numbered and we should be signing into our phones in the same way we log into online accounts. Dr Markus Kuhn from the University of Cambridge said the SIM (stock image) could have been replaced long ago. He believes alternatives include typing in a user identifier and password directly into a phone .

Dr Kuhn continued: 'SIM cards were a useful feature when they came onto the market in 1991. 'At the time mobile phones were bulky devices, usually mounted in cars [and] a SIM would help customers quickly and easily transfer their phone number and contacts from one phone to the next, without the need to type in long identifiers and access codes each time. Alternatively, QR codes (example pictured) are a convenient way to store and access data using a smartphone camera . 'But the days of huge or rented car phones are gone, and today smartphones are lightweight, personal devices that we entrust with passwords to many sites and services - access to WiFi, email, social networks, app stores, and online shopping.' He believes replacing SIMs with passwords or extra software would make it easier to have multiple several pay-as-you-go contracts from different providers on a single phone. They could subsequently switch to the cheapest rate depending on where they were, and apps that functioned as brokers could even negotiate which network to select based on best price automatically. Customers would also not be hindered by the complicated switching process currently used when moving phone numbers across networks. In terms of security, Dr Kuhn explained that SIM cards are also vulnerable to attack. Gemalto, the Dutch SIM card manufacturer, was reportedly the victim of an NSA and GCHQ attack for example. Although the firm said that little information was stolen, 'the reality is that SIM cards are now more of a drawback than a benefit,' added Dr Kuhn.

Handley, drafted in for only his second senior appearance as a replacement for shoulder injury victim Tom Briscoe, was among five different try scorers as the Rhinos overcame the absence of skipper Kevin Sinfield to condemn Wigan to a third defeat in six matches. Liam Sutcliffe proved an able deputy for the injured Sinfield, scoring a try and kicking three goals, but Leeds' hero was Australian prop Adam Cuthbertson, who also scored a try and proved a real handful for the visitors with his powerful running and skilful ball handling. Teenager Ash Handley scored the second try for Leeds Rhinos on Friday night . Leeds, who handed a recall to full-back Zak Hardaker pending the outcome of a disciplinary investigation, were good value for their fifth win of the campaign but could never relax against their injury-hit opponents. The home side made the brighter start without finding the finishing touches and Wigan, captained by Leeds-born hooker Michael McIlorum, opened the scoring from their first real attack, with centre Anthony Gelling breaking clear to get the supporting Matty Smith over after 10 minutes. Smith kicked the conversion and added a penalty six minutes later after Cuthbertson was pulled up for a high tackle on George Williams to make it 8-0 . However, the Warriors made a hash of the restart and never touched the ball for the next eight minutes as Leeds struck a purple patch with three tries. Substitute Brad Singleton went over for the third try for Leeds Rhinos . Cuthbertson, who qualifies for England, got the first, following up a grubber kick on the last tackle by hooker Paul Aiton and was also involved in a sweeping move that was finished at the corner by Handley. The former Newcastle Knights forward then produced a superb short pass to get substitute Brad Singleton over and Sutcliffe kicked his second goal to make it 18-6. Wigan finally managed to stem the tide and struck back four minutes before the break when left winger Joe Burgess caught Williams' kick on the full to dive over for a spectacular try, which was goaled by Smith to cut the gap to just two points. Defences got on top in the second half, with Wigan having to do most of the work as the Rhinos gained the momentum. Referee Richard Silverwood gave the visitors a team warning after they conceded a string of penalties and the pressure told on the hour when Sutcliffe stretched out of a two-man tackle to score his side's third try. Sutcliffe was off target with the conversion attempt but succeeded with a penalty five minutes later after he was tackled by Wigan's Liam Farrell from an offside position.

The Treasury imposed \u00a32.5billion of levies in 2010-11 \u2013 but the takings are predicted to reach \u00a34.6billion in 2015-16, it emerged yesterday. Business groups have warned the taxes could lead to job losses. There are also fears that more of the costs will be passed on to customers. A written statement from Treasury minister Priti Patel stated that the Government is 'committed to increasing the proportion of tax revenue accounted for by environmental taxes' to 'encourage positive behaviour change' and make firms cut carbon emissions. The burden of green taxes on businesses has doubled under the Coalition. Pictured is the Treasury building in London . Environment campaigners say such taxes on firms' energy use set an example to other countries and will help tackle climate change \u2013 but critics point out that many of them are specific to the UK, which could encourage businesses that use a lot of energy to move abroad. One cost that has risen substantially over the past five years is the Climate Change Levy, a charge on every kilowatt hour of electricity and gas firms use to generate energy. Two years ago, another tax \u2013 the Carbon Price Floor \u2013 was introduced on every ton of carbon that firms emit. These two levies now cost businesses a combined \u00a32billion. Larger firms have also been hit by the Energy Efficiency Scheme to further reduce carbon emissions. The charge, introduced in 2010, will bring in \u00a3800million this year. Another three green taxes \u2013 on landfill and mining, and a European levy on carbon \u2013 have remained steady since 2010, costing firms \u00a31.8billion a year. Gareth Stace, of the manufacturers' group EEF, said: 'These figures prove the point that we have been making for some time, namely that UK industry \u2013 especially energy-intensive companies \u2013 are paying a very heavy price. 'We urgently need to see competitiveness at the heart of energy and climate change policy to place us on a level playing field with even our European competitors who are not facing these bills, let alone the rest of the world. Failure to do this by the next government, if it continues to use carbon taxes as a revenue-raising tool, could only result in lost jobs and investment.' A Treasury spokesman said: 'This Government is committed to creating a tax system that is simple, fair and creates the right conditions... we have backed businesses with lower taxes overall, cutting corporation tax, giving employers up to \u00a32,000 off their National Insurance bill and giving small high street businesses \u00a31,000 off their business rates.'", "summary": "The burden of green taxes on businesses has doubled under the Coalition .

Robin Rinaldi, 50, had always considered herself a 'good girl', but ended up being so transformed by what she referred to as her 'wild oats project' that she left her husband after the 12 months ended. Rinaldi, who lives in San Francisco, had previous slept with only four men including husband Scott Mansfield. 'WIld oats': Robin Wright, 50, negotiated an open marriage with her husband of 17 years, which allowed her to bed 12 strangers in 12 months - which ultimately broke her relationship . But during her year of abandon, she bedded ten men and two women, whom she picked up online, in bars and at sex classes. She made the life-changing decision to pursue sex with other people in 2008 - and has written a book about her exploits called The Wild Oats Project. Rinaldi described her relationship with Mansfield, a brewer and wine-maker, as 'stuck in a rut', adding that 'our once-a-week sex life was loving, but lacked spontaneity and passion'. But she decided to make the change after begging him for years to have a child with her, and finally realizing that he wouldn't after he got a vasectomy. Struggle: Wright said her husband, Scott Mansfield, right, was loving and dependable - but did not share her desire to have children, driving her to want lovers instead . Reliving the fraught decision in her book, she wrote: 'I refuse to go to my grave with no children and only four lovers... If I can\u2019t have one, I must have the other'. Under the terms of her new deal, Rinaldi took out an apartment, where she lived from Monday to Friday and would bed her conquests. But over the weekend she would go back to Mansfield, and the two would live as a married couple, without asking what the other had been doing while they were apart. Initially, the two agreed not to sleep with mutual friends, get into any 'serious' relationships or have unprotected sex - but ultimately failed to stick to them. Rinaldi wrote how she started out by posting an online ad, entitled Good Girl Seeks Experience.

+{"article": "Do you love rice but are worried about your weight? The good news is scientists have now discovered a way to reduce the calorie content by 60 per cent - simply by the way it is cooked. Cooking the rice with coconut oil, and then cooling it for 12 hours in the fridge, more than halved the number of calories in the rice when it was eaten. However, doctors have previously warned that eating reheated rice can cause food poisoning, and so advise making sure the rice is steaming hot all the way through before eating it. They also advise leaving the rice in the fridge no more than a day before reheating. Scroll down for video . Scientists have discovered that adding coconut oil to rice and cooling it in the fridge for 12 hours cuts the calorie content in half . The Sri Lankan researchers experimented with 38 kinds of rice from the country. Their recommended method of preparing the rice increases the amount of resistant starch inside it, which is indigestible to the human body. Therefore this resistant starch is not absorbed and turned into energy or fat, and has no calories. The scientists found a two-step process that was able to increase the amount of resistant starch in rice by 10 times. First, they added a teaspoon of coconut oil to boiling water, adding half a cup (105g) of rice, and then either simmering it for 40 minutes, or boiling it for 20 to 25 minutes. Then, they put the rice in the fridge for 12 hours to cool. Lead researcher Sudhair James, of The College of Chemical Sciences, Sri Lanka, said if the best variety of rice is prepared using this method, 'it might reduce the calories by about 50-60 per cent.' He said the team wanted to find food-based solutions to the problem of obesity in developing countries, where rice is often a staple food. 'We discovered that increasing rice resistant starch (RS) concentrations was a novel way to approach the problem,' he said. The coconut oil enters the starch granules in the rice during its cooking, changing its architecture so it can no longer be digested, experts explained . A cup, or 210g of rice, contains around 240 calories. Mr James explained that starch can be digestible or indigestible. Rice is made of both of these types of starch. Unlike digestible types of starch, RS is not broken down in the small intestine, where carbohydrates are normally metabolized into glucose and other simple sugars and absorbed into the bloodstream. So, the researchers reasoned that if they could transform digestible starch into RS, then that could lower the number of calories of the rice. This is because the coconut oil enters the starch granules during cooking, changing its architecture so that it becomes resistant to the action of digestive enzymes, Mr James explained. This means that fewer calories ultimately get absorbed into the body. The cooling for 12 hours is essential, but reheating the rice for consumption does not affect the RS levels, he said. He", "summary": "Scientists say cooking the rice this way can cut the calories by up to 60% . The method increases the amount of resistant starch (RS) in the rice .

Albanian Artur Doda, 24, plunged to his death alongside fellow countryman Leonard Isufaj, 27, after jumping from one of the world's largest ferries, minutes after it had taken off from British shores. The pair were said to be 'tantalisingly close' to the port in Harwich, Essex, when they decided to launch themselves into the sea. Albanian Artur Doda, 24, and fellow countryman Leonard Isufaj, 27, plunged to their deaths after jumping from one of the world's largest ferries, the Stena Britannica (pictured), while being deported from the UK . An inquest heard how the pair, who were being taken to Holland, were just 500 metres from the port - but that even an Olympic swimmer would have struggled to swim through the currents. The incident, which took place in February last year, came after the pair had arrived in the UK with 13 other stowaways hidden in the back of a lorry on a freight ferry. They were believed to be part of a group which had broken into the vehicle without the driver's knowledge. After today's hearing, the coroner said the incident was part of 'a bigger picture on immigration and how it's handled'. The inquest heard how the vehicle had been randomly selected for X-ray as it entered the port six hours earlier. After Border Agency checks, all but two women were sent back on the Stena Britannica 9am ferry the same day to the Hook of Holland. But, at around 10am, it was reported to the captain that two immigrants had jumped from the ship. The inquest heard how an eyewitness saw them jump from the railings on the side of the ship before resurfacing briefly then disappearing back into the water. But despite an extensive search involving 21 vessels and two helicopters, neither man was rescued. Mr Isofaj, who died from drowning, was found on March 20, 2014, washed up on a beach in Felixstowe. He was identified by fingerprints taken during his deportation by Border Force agents. Mr Doda's badly decomposed body was found floating in the North Sea on April 29, 2014, and could only be identified by DNA from his mother in Albania. The two men had been deported from Harwich International Port, Essex, to Holland when they decided to jump into the North Sea. A huge search operation was launched but neither man was found alive . Inspector Christopher Willis, from Essex Police, told the inquest that the sea would have appeared deceptively calm, instilling a false belief that it would be possible to swim to shore. But even if they had not been sucked under the ship, they were unlikely to have survived fierce competing tides, he said. 'To swim to land with those tides and the water temperature would have been nigh-on impossible - an Olympic swimmer would have struggled,' he added. Mr Willis said a tide heading out to sea at about four knots met another", "summary": "Artur Doda, 24, and Leonard Isufaj, 27, both Albanian, jumped in North Sea .

She is pictured above at the Forbes Under 30 Summit last year . Monica Lewinsky has told a Norwegian conference that she became the world's first cyberbullying victim after her affair with Bill Clinton was exposed. The 41-year-old said she believes the rising popularity of Google in the same year that the affair came to light led to her life being destroyed by online trolls in a way others had not experienced. She told a crowd at the Marie H\u00f8eg Conference that she went from being an anonymous person to being 'humiliated worldwide' in just 24 hours. 'What happened to me was that I lost my entire reputation,' she told The Local. 'I lost myself and the whole world was given a picture of me that I did not recognise at all. 'There is immeasurable humiliation. It is the feeling that the whole world is laughing at you. I just thought I would die.' Ms Lewinsky's comments were made a week before she is due to give a TED talk on cyberbullying. The former White House intern shot to fame when her affair with Clinton was uncovered in 1998. Clinton, then 49, initially denied their relationship but Ms Lewinsky, then 22, confirmed it had been sexual. While Clinton, who was president from 1993 to 2001, was fined for giving a false testimony Ms Lewinsky became a household name \u2013 and the butt of countless late-night jokes. A decade later she penned an explosive tell-all article for Vanity Fair about the Clinton scandal, describing her relationship with the married president as 'consensual'. She also spoke at the Forbes Under 30 Summit in October last year where she told the crowd: 'Sixteen years ago, fresh out of college I fell in love with my boss.

'It was a viral phenomenon that, you could argue, was the first moment of truly \"social media.\"' Ms Lewinsky said she was inspired to speak out after a gay student at Rutgers University committed suicide days after his roommate secretly filmed him kissing another man. She is hoping that publicizing her story will lead to people thinking twice about humiliating and trolling others online.

The young Royals have been ordered to change their personal email addresses and Prince Harry has been told he must close down his Facebook page, pictured with Princesses Eugenie (left) and Beatrice . The order came after staff at eavesdropping agency GCHQ issued warnings about 'chatter' on the airwaves that prompted suspicion that the Royals have been targeted.

Biting causes physical pain, but that is almost a childish, instinctive reaction. To spit in someone\u2019s face is more deliberate and insulting. For me, spitting is worse.

Mr Fallon said Britain\u2019s military presence on the South Atlantic territory would be \u2018beefed up\u2019 following the findings of a review by top brass. There are fears of an invasion of the Falklands after it emerged Vladimir Putin could be helping to re-arm the South American nation by leasing them 12 long-range bombers . But later he told MPs that there would be no more troops or fighter planes sent to the British territory after the review found UK\u2019s military forces were at the \u2018level required\u2019 to ensure its protection against any threat. Instead the UK would \u2018modernise\u2019 its defences in the region by investing in some of the \u2018ageing infrastructure\u2019, as a well as upgrading a surface-to-air missile system. His comments come amid claims there is a heightened risk of invasion by Argentina. Mr Putin is understood to be working on a deal to lease 12 Sukhoi Su-24 long range bombers to the country. Former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth said the reported deal with Putin was \u2018very serious\u2019. He said: \u2018It is very serious indeed. Putin has many problems at home and yet he is ramping up tension in the Falklands. \u2018Our policy has been to deter Argentina from repeating the folly of 1982.

It was the heart-stopping moment that every mother- to-be dreads. A routine scan to determine Catherine Urhegyi\u2019s due date revealed her longed-for second child was dead in her womb. Numb and bewildered, she was told she could miscarry naturally or have an abortion. She and husband Andrew were distraught. \u2018I\u2019d gone along expecting to see a baby on the scan,\u2019 she recalls. \u2018I hadn\u2019t been expecting bad news. So I was stunned to be told there was no heartbeat. I just burst into tears.\u2019 Reluctantly, the couple agreed to an induced abortion and Catherine took medication to start the process. Two days later, after a bout of heavy bleeding, Catherine returned to Salford Royal Hospital to complete the abortion. There \u2013 much to her astonishment and delight \u2013 a further scan, carried out before a second drug was administered, detected a heartbeat. The girl they had hoped would complete their family had not died as the hospital had said. And against all the odds, she had survived the ill-advised abortion. Though thrilled, the couple now face an agonising wait until their daughter is born, fearing she will have long-term health problems as a result of the medication that was intended to induce the abortion. To make matters worse, doctors have told them that the heavy bleeding Catherine suffered could have been a miscarriage of a possible twin \u2013 killed by the procedure. As Catherine and Andrew struggle to understand how it could have happened, and what it could mean for them, the NHS hospital has launched an urgent investigation. Doctors have warned them they cannot be sure their little girl will not suffer birth defects because the abortion pill was administered during the critical 12-week development period for the foetus. The couple have decided to speak of their experience in the hope that hospitals will ensure they perform a second scan with a different sonographer if it is suspected a baby has died in the womb. \u2018To say this has ruined my pregnancy would be an understatement,\u2019 says laboratory manager Catherine, 32, who is now 26 weeks pregnant and already has a son Thomas, two. \u2018Our little girl is a much-wanted baby and we are extremely worried she won\u2019t now be born healthy. We are incredibly angry and upset. We can\u2019t understand how doctors could have made such a big error. \u2018In hindsight we believe a scan should have been carried out before I took the pill to double-check the diagnosis that the baby had died.\u2019 Yesterday, holding hands with her plasterer husband Andrew, also 32, at their home in Walkden, Manchester, Catherine told how they had desperately wanted a second child. \u2018We wanted a little brother or sister for Thomas and as I\u2019d had a completely normal pregnancy with him, we had no reason to believe this one would be any different,\u2019 she says.

All EU countries will have to cut the use of throwaway \u2018plastic poison\u2019 carrier bags by 80 per cent following a vote yesterday. The decision represents a victory for Daily Mail readers and the \u2018Banish the Bags\u2019 campaign, which launched in February 2008 with the backing of groups from the National Trust to the Campaign to Protect Rural England. Member states have set the 28 countries of the EU a deadline of 2025 to meet the target which can be achieved through the introduction of bans or charges. The UK is already on course to meet this target following decisions by the devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which have already have a system of charges. England is set to follow suit with a 5p levy on the plastic bags in October after supermarkets failed to meet pledges to reduce bag numbers through voluntary schemes. All profits from the charges in England will go to good causes, which will include a raft of green clean-up groups, tackling green spaces, rivers and beaches, as well as other charities. Similar charging schemes in Ireland have led to a reduction of around 90per cent in the distribution of the flimsy bags, which have become a blight on streets and parks. Volunteers at the Marine Conservation Society have been working tirelessly to clean beaches and protect sea life such as turtles, which are known to eat the bags because they mistake them for jellyfish. Their work has been supported by money raised through a 5p charge on bags by Marks & Spencer, which led the way among retailers in tackling the blight they cause. Pollution and litter expert at the MCS, Dr Sue Kinsey, welcomed the EU vote, as a \u2018useful first step\u2019 in the reduction in single use plastic bags. However, she said an original plan for mandatory charges throughout the EU had been watered down with a decision to leave it up to each member state on how to achieve the promised 80per cent reduction. Bizarrely, the UK government was among those that opposed the idea of a mandatory charge across all EU states. The MCS is also concerned that the bag charge scheme for England will not be as effective as those in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is because it carries various exemptions, including a decision not to apply the 5p fee in small shops. An estimated 100 billion carrier bags are used every year in Europe - with 8 billion ending up as litter. Many of those end up in seas and rivers, killing millions of marine animals. Wales was the first home nation to introduce a 5p charge four years ago. Since then it is estimated that the number of bags issued at the tills is down by more than 75per cent.

The sculpture holds a high perch above the sign for Barista's restaurant, and owner Stephen Ward said he woke up Friday and decided the bull would look better without the oversized genitalia that caused uproar among the neighbors. Hurricane residents disturbed by the noticeable, cone-shaped feature had asked the city council to revoke Barista's business license. Hurricane, Utah, restaurant Barista's cased an uproar after displaying a bull on its sign with over-sized genitalia (left). On Friday owner Stephen Ward decided to remove (right) the genitalia that caused such a disturbance in the town . Ward told the St. George Spectrum on Saturday that he made it clear to city officials before he altered the statue that he wasn't bowing to community pressure. 'I told them I am not removing the penis for you or because of your complaints. I don't like you. I'm doing it for me,' Ward told. 'I just decided it would look better without the weenie. And oh my God! It's beautiful.' Even before the battle over the bull, tensions had been running high between Ward and the local community just north of the Arizona border. Customers have said the food is too expensive, alleged that Ward is hostile and has poor business practices. He says his offerings are the best in the region and hasn't hesitated to push back. The dispute got physical on March 14, when an altercation erupted between a Barista's employee and a patron. The patron was cited for a number of misdemeanors, including assault, according to the Hurricane City Police Department. Though Ward received an onslaught of criticism for the bull, he insists that he is not removing the genitalia for the community, but because he 'just decided it would look better' Ward, however, said the incident wasn't handled appropriately and is upset that the patron wasn't arrested. The copper bull's over-sized genitalia reinvigorated the fight. After a steady stream of complaints, city officials were evaluating whether there were grounds to force the removal or modification of the bull. City Manager Clark Fawcett said the sign was approved by the planning department and Ward went through the proper channels, but: 'the dimensions of certain parts of the animal don't seem to be built the same way as in the plan that came to us.' More than 500 people signed the petition asking the council strip restaurant of its business licence.

Consumption rose by 2.4 per cent in 2014, which equates to an extra 700,000 that are boiled, scrambled and fried every day of the week. It is a remarkable resurgence for the egg, which has suffered from a series of health scares and changes in food fashion since the 1950s when the nation was happy to \u2018Go to work on an egg\u2019. The revival is being attributed to the fact they form a central part of protein-rich diets such at Atkins and Paleo, which promise weight loss and even a longer life. Consumption of eggs rose by 2.4 per cent in 2014, the equivalent of 700,000 extra a day. Experts are crediting the revival with the rise of protein-rich diets including Atkins and Paleo . As a result, egg sales are now finally back to the levels seen in the 1980s when the former Tory health minister Edwina Currie infamously labelled them a health threat because of salmonella contamination. That attack fuelled existing concerns about eggs, which were also being demonised by doctors for containing high levels of cholesterol, which was wrongly assumed to fur up the arteries. However, the egg has become healthier following a change in the diet of the hens, with the result the cholesterol level is down by some 13 per cent to some 100g, which is a third of the recommended daily limit. At the same time, Vitamin D, which is vital for healthy bones, is up by 64 per cent compared to a decade ago. The net result is that eggs are now being actively promoted as a health food given they are also full of the protein, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids that are vital to a healthy body. Until 2009, Britons were warned against eating more than three eggs a week because of the worries about cholesterol \u2013 but this warning has now been junked. Research by experts at University of Surrey found overweight people given two eggs a day as part of a reduced calorie diet lost weight and saw no increase in blood cholesterol levels. If you are looking for a loan, serving your bank manager breakfast might just do the trick. A compound found in eggs makes people much more generous, new research suggests. Scientists say that tryptophan, an amino acid found in some foods, can change our behaviour. In experiments they found that consuming a small portion of tryptophan - the equivalent of that found in three eggs - doubled the sum volunteers gave to charity. Eggs and other foods such as fish and milk are rich in tryptophan, an amino acid that is converted in the body into the feel-good chemical serotonin. And the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has recently recommended that limitations on consumption of cholesterol found in eggs should be removed from official health guidelines. It stated: \u2018Cholesterol is not considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.\u2019 A spokesman for the British Egg Information Service said: \u2018Health professionals\u2019 recognition of their health benefits,", "summary": "Consumption rose by 2.4% in 2014, the equivalent of an extra 700,000 a day .

A businessman who spent three weeks in jail after falsely being accused of rape by a woman he met on the internet is suing the police for malicious prosecution and wrongful imprisonment. Kayode Modupe-Ojo, a former boyfriend of David Beckham\u2019s sister Joanne, said his reputation has been destroyed and he lost his business because police failed to investigate properly the woman\u2019s fictitious allegations \u2013 including that he possessed firearms \u2013 or the glaring inconsistencies in her story. The 28-year-old former spa owner was arrested at his home in Cheshire shortly after spending two days with the woman. His accuser gave a harrowing but entirely false account of being tied up and moved around the north-east of England against her will, after a sexual encounter turned terrifyingly violent. Mr Modupe-Ojo, who has lived in Britain since the age of three, was dragged from his bed by the police, handcuffed and questioned for three days without legal representation before being charged with multiple counts of rape and kidnapping. On the basis of the woman\u2019s lies, Durham Police declared he was \u2018a danger to women\u2019 and he was remanded in jail for three weeks. Last week the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee called for people accused of sexual offences to be given anonymity. Mr Modupe-Ojo\u2019s lawyer has referred the case to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Paul Schofield, of Farleys Solicitors, said: \u2018It illustrates the flaws of a legal system that names and shames those accused of sex crimes, without giving them any protection when the accusations turn out to be untrue. 'Even though it was obvious in court that the woman lied and lied, she is still protected by the legal system because no criminal charges have so far been brought against her. 'As things stands she has a lifetime anonymity while my client remains tainted by the abhorrent stigma of a rape charge. It\u2019s also clearly a case that would not have gone to trial if the police had done their jobs correctly. It was as if they couldn\u2019t be bothered.\u2019 Mr Modupe-Ojo was acquitted when his trial at Newcastle Crown Court collapsed last year due to glaring discrepancies in the prosecution case. But he said that by then the damage had already been done. \u2018The judge directed the jury to acquit me, but my reputation was left in tatters,\u2019 he says. \u2018There are people out there who think, \u201cno smoke without fire\u201d.

The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens newest exhibit featured some of the nation's largest living snakes to celebrate it's new 48 foot, life-sized replica of the prehistoric Titanoboa snake - the heaviest and longest snake ever discovered. Though it might have looked tiny next to its ancestor, the zoo's Burmese python was no small thing, clocking in at 112 pounds. The currently unnamed female python is on loan to the zoo until September. A Burmese python 13 and a half feet long made an appearance at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens newest exhibit yesterday that featured some of the nation's largest living snakes . Guests could take pictures and touch the 112 pound reptile. The Burmese python can reach more than 17 feet and weigh 400 pounds . Dan Maloney, the zoo's deputy director of animal care and conservation, told Daily Mail Online that the snake was 'pretty large' for a Burmese python but that she had a 'great temperament'. 'She's a nice snake and she's gorgeous and a pretty thing as can be,' he said, adding that her relaxed mood will make her great for school visits. Maloney said the python is fed frozen rabbits that are thawed out. The zoo's snakes are never fed live food in order to protect their safety. 'Its much easier for quality control,' he said. 'And live food, even rabbits, can severely bite the face of a snake. They're also trying to avoid being dinner.' A rock python, an anaconda and an eastern diamondback rattlesnake, the largest rattlesnake and the heaviest venomous snake in the Americas, have also moved into the exhibit. The Burmese python is well-known in the state, where its hardly been harmless. A recent U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service study found that there are 150,000 pythons in the Everglades National Park, according to the Washington Post. According to Maloney, the leading theory is that the Burmese python first came to the Everglades in 1992, after Hurricane Andrew blew through the state - and a pet breeding center. The exhibit was celebrating the zoo's new 48 ft long, life-sized replica of the prehistoric Titanoboa snake - the heaviest and longest snake ever discovered . 'Its believed either people couldn't take care of them anymore, released them, or the hurricane destroyed the facilities and liberated the animals,' Maloney said. The Burmese python has become what is known as an invasive species, wreaking havoc on the environment's native species as they continue to spread. Native to Southeast Asia, the python has quickly spread throughout the Everglades as females can lay up to 100 eggs. The non-venomous snakes, who kill and eat their prey by constriction, have decimated the park's mammal population, consuming more than 99 percent of raccoons and 88 percent of bobcats, according to the Washington Post. Although pythons can reach more than 17 feet in length and weigh up to 400 pounds, they are not a major threat to humans. Instead they'd rather feast on small mammals", "summary": "The currently unnamed female python will be at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens until September .

A mother went into the home of a disabled pensioner who had previously looked after her children to empty his wallet while she left her baby outside in the street in its pram. Kelly Tilley snuck into the Stockport home of the 74-year-old after he had left his front door open and stole \u00a3550 in cash from his wallet. She then ran away, pushing her child in the pram. The pensioner, who has mobility problems, had been saving the money to pay household bills and had previously helped Tilley in the past by lending her money and looking after her children. Tilley, of Southport, was jailed for two years as a judge said it was a 'mean offence' in which she had intentionally targeted a disabled old man. Liverpool Crown Court heard that Tilley had stolen her way into the man's home at about 2pm on March 31 last year. Andrew Sinker, prosecuting, said: 'He went to the toilet and when he came out the defendant was stood in the hallway. 'He said 'what are you doing?' She asked him for a drink and some money. He refused and told her to get out.' The victim then went into his bedroom and realised his wallet had gone. Mr Sinker said: 'He went out to speak to her but she was running off down the road. Due to mobility problems he was unable to chase after her.' Police searched Tilley's home and found the wallet, with the 31-year-old claiming she had only gone into his home to ask for a loan. Tilley, a drug user, then fabricated a claim that he had agreed to lend her cash, but only if she performed a sexual favour for him. Judge Brian Lewis said: 'The victim had been a friend to you, he had lent you money in the past and he had even looked after your children.

'Probably the next time Chelsea does a deal with a young player they will keep control. At these ages, the evolution of players can be good or bad. You can loan or even sell a player but you have ways of being in control of his future. 'Another aspect is the fact that Chelsea had so many managers in these years. It is difficult for the business people on the board. For one manager, Matic is the right profile of player, another one thinks Matic can go because I don't like him. This guy I like because he is fast, this guy I don't like because he is small. 'With a philosophy on the table, it is much easier for our board. If I was here, a left-footed player, 1.95 metres tall, would never, never, never leave. Never.' Matic was handed a two-match suspension for pushing Burnley's Ashley Barnes . Mourinho insists Matic wouldn't have been sold if he was in charge during the midfielder's first Chelsea spell .

Sadly, the temptation is still to look at the scoreline. At the sharp end of European football English teams cannot keep the ball. On the continent, this is considered to be a crime. It is the primary reason all four English teams - Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City - were eliminated from the Champions League before the quarter-final draw. Manchester City's players leave the Nou Camp looking glum after being eliminated from Champions League . Lionel Messi stole the show on Wednesday, taking 116 touches, 42 more than any other City player . Manchester City had goalkeeper Joe Hart to thank for keeping the score to just one at the Nou Camp . Messi joins in the celebrations with goalscorer Ivan Rakitic and Luis Suarez during the first half . Will we ever learn? Probably not. Over two legs in the Champions League second round, Manchester City did not have a single player who touched the ball on more than 74 occasions. It is pitiful. Where was David Silva? Where was Samir Nasri? Where was Yaya Toure? Nowhere, absolutely nowhere. In the Nou Camp on Wednesday, when Barcelona won 1-0 and it would not have flattered them had they scored eight, nine or 10, Lionel Messi touched the ball 116 times. That\u2019s what we are in the game for, to be spellbound by players who want to make things happen with a clever twist or spin or flick. At the Etihad, when Barcelona won 2-1 in the first leg, Messi settled for 107 in the Premier League champions\u2019 backyard. James Milner was City\u2019s highest with 64.

To those who followed the fortunes of the four English teams in the Champions League, it will not come as a surprise to anyone that none of them are in the top five for passing accuracy. Barcelona, who toyed with City during Wednesday\u2019s 1-0 victory in the second leg, are joint top with Pep Guardiola\u2019s Bayern Munich (89.2 per cent). Next come 10-time champions Real Madrid (88.3), followed by Paris Saint Germain (88.1) and another team entrenched in the obsession with possession, Ajax (87.5). The elite teams rely on possession, keeping the ball in circulation until they can carve out an opening and move in for the kill. We will hear some tripe over the next few days, with people convinced that we must continue to refine a mangled, hybrid system to suit English football. Well 40 years in and it\u2019s not working.

Gardell Martin came home from the hospital on Sunday, and his doctors said Thursday he has made a full recovery. 'It's not only extraordinarily rare that we got the kid back, but what's even more extraordinary is the rate at which he recovered and the completeness of his recovery,' said Dr. Frank Maffei, director of the pediatric intensive care unit at Geisinger's Janet Weis Children's Hospital in Danville. Scroll down for video . Lucy escape: Gardell Martin (pictured with his mother Rose) fell into a stream that runs through his own near Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania, and was swept away by the fast current on March 11 . 'The stars and moon aligned, and he had an angel on his shoulder.' Gardell and two of his brothers had gone outside to play on March 11 when, at some point, he fell into the stream that runs through their five-acre property near Mifflinburg and was swept away by the fast-moving current. His seven-year-old brother, Greg, ran into the house and screamed that he couldn't find Gardell. Their mother, Rose Martin, did a quick search of the property before realizing her young son had likely fallen into the creek, which was swollen because of melting snow. She called 911 while her two teenage daughters began walking downstream in a frantic search for the toddler. Scene of the incident: Gardell's body temperature was 77 degrees, more than 20 degrees below normal, after he fell into this river - against all odds, his heart restarted after CPR . It was a neighbor who found Gardell nearly a quarter-mile away, caught up in a tree branch, the water gushing around his body. An ambulance crew arrived moments later, found no pulse and began CPR. Resuscitation would continue, unbroken, for 101 minutes - in the ambulance, at a community hospital, aboard a medical helicopter and, finally, in the emergency room of Janet Weis, the pediatric wing of Geisinger Medical Center, where a team of some 30 doctors and nurses sprang into action. Gardell's body temperature was 77 degrees when he arrived, more than 20 degrees below normal. In this case, the boy's profound hypothermia worked to his advantage, dramatically slowing his metabolism and giving his organs 'some degree of protection from cardiac arrest,' Maffei said. Knowing that, Maffei ordered CPR to continue while the team slowly warmed his body. At around 82 degrees, they detected a pulse. Against all odds, his heart had restarted. Hours later, Gardell regained consciousness - and his brain function was normal, stunning doctors yet again. 'It was an act of God,' said his grateful mother, Rose Martin.

It followed a strange night for the Real Madrid forward just seven days ahead of the Clasico. He failed to celebrate Gareth Bale\u2019s opening goal because he was too busy lamenting his own misfortune at not scoring. Ronaldo failed to connect properly with a scissor kick from the edge of the area and when the ball was headed off the line Bale volleyed it into the top corner.

Cristiano Ronaldo cannot mask his frustration after striking the post with an early chance to put Real ahead . The World Player of the Year endured a difficult game, with his temper bubbling below the surface . It was a tough night for Ronaldo, who will need to improve in time for next week's Clasico . Gary Lineker tweeted: \u2018Ronaldo's extraordinarily stroppy reaction to Bale scoring from a rebound from his effort was bizarre and unhealthy.\u2019 Ronaldo was also frustrated when Bale scored his second goal getting the slightest of touches on a Ronaldo shot but enough to divert it past the Levante goalkeeper to wrap up the three points.

That first experience of the Festival probably taught the young McCoy that Cheltenham is great when you are successful but miserable when it goes wrong. Losing can tear you apart. It is a feeling I know well and McCoy probably enjoyed that Nottingham winner far more than merely being able to play a bit part at the Festival. Just taking part has never been enough for him.

An inquest at Horsham Coroners' Court heard he had been told he had not achieved the grades to enable him to return for a second year, and was advised to go to Central Sussex College's Crawley campus to see if he could join a course there. Student Michael Platt, 18, walked in front of a train at Horsham station, West Sussex, after finding out he did not have the grades to progress into the second year of college, an inquest has heard . Instead, in a state of 'turmoil', he jumped over the level crossing where he was struck by a train and killed. Michael from Gossops Green, East Sussex, was a member of the college choir and had planned to go to university to study child psychology. Mother Jane spoke at the inquest, and told the coroner her son 'was the life and soul of the party', Crawley News reports.

Coroner Dr David Skipp said as there was no note left behind, or a phone call from Mr Platt to loved ones, he did not believe the teenager had meant to take his own life.

+{"article": "An ornate scabbard chape belonging to Admiral Lord Nelson - discovered on the bed of the River Thames by a police diver in the 1970s - has surfaced at auction for \u00a370,000. It is believed the 6in long enamel and diamond decoration that fixed onto the bottom end of the naval hero's sword case was tossed into the water by thieves decades before. It was discovered in 1973 purely by chance by a police diver searching for a weapon used in a crime. Admiral Lord Nelson's sword scabbard (pictured) is set to sell at auction for up to \u00a370,000 . The chape was from a scimitar sword presented to Nelson by the Sultan Selim III of the Turkish Empire to commemorate the British victory over the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. It is decorated in diamonds with the star and crescent which matches the Ottoman Order of the Crescent granted to Nelson in 1799. The locket no longer exists as it was melted down years ago but the chape is now coming up for auction in London with a pre-sale estimate of \u00a350,000 to \u00a370,000. The one-armed naval hero (illustrated) was famed for his victories at sea, mostly notably the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar . Michael Moorcroft, of auctioneers Bonhams, said: 'The chape would have been a super-expensive item of the day. 'We can associate it with Nelson through the star and crescent at the centre of the decoration which matches the Ottoman Order of the Crescent conferred on Nelson in 1799 and as seen in a portrait of him in 1801. 'The sheer quality of workmanship that has gone into it is quite stunning. 'It is an object that is pretty fabulous.' Five years before its discovery, an ornate locket with an identical decoration that was used on the top part of Nelson's scabbard was found during dredging work of the River Wey in Surrey. The location wasn't far from the Thames at Windsor where the chape was found, nor from Nelson's palatial home at Merton. Both discoveries were featured on BBC's Blue Peter. Mr Moorcroft added: 'Both the locket and the chape were found at the bottom of rivers just five years and a few miles apart. The locket was found about 20 miles from Nelson's estate at Merton.

A glamorous TV presenter has fled Russia after receiving death threats in the wake of the murder of Boris Nemtsov, it was revealed today. Ksenia Sobchak, who is also a prominent Moscow opposition figure and glossy magazine editor, was urged to leave for her own safety by the FSB secret service. Although the 33-year-old had recently hired bodyguards she was still not believed to be safe - despite the fact she had known Vladimir Putin since childhood. 'I am going to leave Russia for a while,' she announced at a Moscow party on Friday. 'Close friends explained off the record that she is leaving not because of her extra sensitivity but because the secret service recommended her to do so,' Kommersant newspaper claimed. Ms Sobchak today said reports saying she was emigrating from Russia were an 'overstatement' but did not deny she was leaving temporarily on secret service advice. It had been reported in Russia that her name was on a 'hit list' of Putin foes. The revelation of her sudden flight abroad came as the Russian president was scheduled to reappear after being out of sight for unexplained reasons since March 5. Despite her family links to Putin, the outspoken Ms Sobchak became a strong critic of the president's authoritarian approach. The prominent blogger started to receive death threats from online trolls soon after opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, 55, was shot in the back near the Kremlin on February 27. At Nemtsov's funeral on March 3, a man approached her and said, 'bear in mind, you are the next one, Ksenia.' Ms Sobchak is the daughter of Putin's political mentor and law professor, the late Anatoly Sobchak, who gave him his first political job after he quit the KGB. Scroll down for video .

For years there were rumours that she was Putin's goddaughter - and while this is not the case, many of his supporters have not forgiven her for openly articulating opposition to his policies. Among Tweeted threats she has received one read: 'Give up Ksenia, your death will be fast.' Another, using an insulting nickname for the TV host, wrote after Nemtsov's death: 'I am also very happy that there is one b****** less; when is it your turn, Horse?'

Tens of thousands of women over 50 are being left on the jobless scrapheap years before retirement because they are forced to care for elderly, sick or disabled people in their family. In total, up to 600,000 late middle-aged women are unemployed and looking for work, costing the economy up to \u00a320billion a year. The startling new figure is released today as Dr Ros Altmann, the Government's Business Champion for Older Workers, ahead of a major report next week setting out the steps needed to end the crisis of older people shunted out of work years before retirement. It will highlight caring responsibilities as one of the major barriers preventing women in their 50s and 60s from staying in work. Almost one in four women aged between 50-64 care for elderly, sick or disabled people \u2013 with some 153,000 women approaching retirement claiming Carers Allowance \u2013 compared to just 87,000 men. The caring responsibilities are hitting women's job prospects \u2013 with the employment rate among 50-64 year old women just 63.7 per cent compared to 74.5 per cent for men. Speaking ahead of the launch of her report on Wednesday Dr Altmann told MailOnline: 'We need to harness the potential of older female workers, and provide support for those who would like to work, but feel unable to do so. 'Caring responsibilities can often take women out of the workforce \u2013 but if businesses could accommodate more flexible working, often just for a short period, many more women could keep in touch with work and the employer would retain their invaluable experience.' A YouGov poll recently commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions shows that older women would prefer part-time work as they approach retirement. Some 43 per cent of women who are not retired said the best way to retire would be to cut down to part-time or flexible hours before stopping work altogether. Pensions Minister Steve Webb said it was 'essential' for the economy to get more women into work . Pensions Minister Steve Webb said: 'This analysis shows how supporting older workers to stay in jobs is an essential economic priority for the UK. 'The Coalition Government has taken bold action and is turning the tide, but there is more to do \u2013 particularly to help older women combine work with caring responsibilities.

Speaking of the botched catheter fitting, Mr Maroleanu said: 'After the operation they told me there were some complications. Apparently the nurse had not properly fitted a small plastic pipe to help me urinate, and my penis became red and infected. 'I was moved to intensive care and four days later was moved to the nephrology department where they took a sample, but then they just left me there for 10 days. Eventually they did an operation, but then doctor went on holiday.' Shortly afterwards Mr Maroleanu was transferred to the Bucharest Military Hospital. There he underwent a series of examinations with doctors concluding that the only thing they could do was to amputate the infected penis, otherwise there was a strong possibility he would die. A spokesman for the hospital said: 'The foreskin was stripped away completely and most of the cells in the organ were dead. 'The member was black and the only remaining skin was at the base of the shaft and highly infectious. It was recommended to remove the necrotic elements, meaning amputation.' Surgeon: Although the operation, carried out by Dr Iurie Ciochina (pictured), was successful, a nurse subsequently fitted his catheter incorrectly, causing Mr Maroleanu's genitalia to become severely infected .

Kobe has said he blames himself for wife Vanessa's miscarriage, which happened in early 2005 - the year after he faced trial for rape in Colorado. The basketball player, who has been married to Vanessa since 2001, says he believes the anxiety caused by the allegations over the 18 months before led to his wife losing what would have been their second child. Scroll down for video . Anguish: LA Lakers star Kobe Bryant says he blames himself for wife Vanessa's miscarriage in Muse, a documentary about his life. Pictured: Vanessa and Kobe at the premiere of the documentary earlier this year . Kobe had been charged with assaulting 19-year-old Katelyn Faber in 2003, but it was dropped at trial when the alleged victim refused to give evidence at trial the next year. The now 36-year-old denied the charges - but admitted an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser after he checked into the hotel where she was working to await knee surgery. But the allegation led to him losing lucrative contracts with Nutella and McDonalds at the time, as well as causing stress for his family. However, Vanessa stood by her husband throughout the case. In a halting and emotional monologue for his new documentary Muse, Bryant says he let his wife and family down during 'that time'. But in the two minute clip - marked '2004' - he never refers directly to the rape case which turned his world upside down. 'It is a man's job to look out for your family,' Bryant tells the camera. 'In that aspect, I failed miserably.' Halting: The star gives an emotional monologue to the camera, in which he says he let his family down . Star: The sportsman was awaiting knee surgery when he was alleged to have raped a hotel worker in 2003 . He added: 'We were expecting our second child during that time, and there was just so much stress, she actually miscarried. 'It is something I have a real hard time dealing with that, I feel like it was my fault. We should have been building our family, but because of my mistake, we lost a baby. 'We try to justify the fact its not, realise how common miscarriages are, these things happen, but the reality is it happened because of me. 'That's the reality of it, and that is something I've got to carry forever.' Kobe also seems surprised his wife did not leave him at the time, taking their young daughter with her, as well as 'half the money'. 'Things would have been really easy for her to leave,' he said in the documentary.

Now scientists have discovered that humans may have first begun living in the rainforest around 20,000 years ago - 12,000 years earlier than was thought. Researchers at Oxford University found the evidence trapped inside human teeth discovered in the rainforests of Sabaragamuwa in southern Sri Lanka. Scientists have discovered that humans may have first begun living in the rainforest around 20,000 years ago - 12,000 years earlier than was thought. Researchers at Oxford University found the evidence trapped inside human teeth discovered in the rainforests of Sabaragamuwa in southern Sri Lanka (pictured) They say isotopes in the teeth suggest the people they belonged to had a diet mainly composed of food foraged from the forest. The study also notes that there are hints that humans may even have occupied rainforests around 45,000 years ago. 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 mounting evidence that Neanderthals were not the slow-witted and primative creatures they are often portrayed as. The findings contradict the idea that tropical rainforests were largely human-free environments until around 8,000 years ago. Professor Julia Lee-Thorp, an archaeologist at Oxford University who helped lead the study, said: 'The isotopic methodology applied in our study has already been successfully used to study how primates, including African great apes, adapt to their forest environment. 'However, this is the first time scientists have investigated ancient human fossils in a tropical forest context to see how our earliest ancestors survived in such a habitat.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal Science, studied the fossilised teeth of 26 humans of a range of dates - from 20,000 to 3,000 years ago - found around Sri Lanka. The areas where they were excavated from are all now dense rainforest but it was not clear what the landscape was like when the people were alive. By examining the carbon and oxygen isotopes in the teeth, the researchers were able to see that the humans had a diet that matched those of people living in slightly open 'intermediate rainforest' environments. The study also notes that there are hints that humans may even have occupied rainforests around 45,000 years ago. Rainforests, like in Sri Lankan above, may teem with life but beneath the trees life can be hard for humans.

A study claims friendly staff receive lower wages than their less agreeable colleagues. Despite working just as hard, they are often reluctant to push for pay rises, too focused on team work and overly concerned about being liked. Researchers at the University of Sheffield made the discovery while looking at the impact of personality traits on workers' productivity and pay. A University of Sheffield study claims friendly staff receive lower wages than their less agreeable colleagues . Their study found: 'More agreeable workers tend to earn less in the actual labour market, but their productivity is similar when measured in the laboratory setting.' They defined agreeableness as being compliant, modest, trustworthy and sympathetic. The study found women were most likely to show agreeable personality traits, perhaps one reason for the gender pay gap. Being agreeable made workers more successful in team work, but had three negative effects on their performance. Friendly staff are often reluctant to push for pay rises, too focused on team work and overly concerned about being liked, according to the study . 'First, helping others may reduce individual productivity,' the study found. 'Secondly, agreeable people may be less effective when bargaining their wage. Finally, agreeable individuals may enter less stable, lower paid occupations.' The study was presented at the Royal Economic Society's 2015 annual conference in Manchester yesterday by Ana Nuevo-Chiquero, of The University of Sheffield, who conducted the research alongside Australian and Spanish academics. They analysed the personalities and productivity levels of students at the University of New South Wales in laboratory conditions, and analysed a host of academic reports on personality and wages. It found that, while conscientious and emotionally stable workers earn more money, being too open could harm your career. While openness with colleagues indicated an artistic, curious and imaginative worker, it could make them less likely to obey the rules, which could cause problems at a formal workplace. Neuroticism, which researchers linked to mood swings and unpredictability, also impacted performance as these workers often lacked self-confidence and were insecure.", "summary": "Study found friendly staff receive lower wages than unpleasant colleagues .

Norris has to take two buses to her job at a suburban mall in Troy, Michigan, using separate city and suburban bus systems. For many city residents with limited skills and education, Detroit is an employment desert, having lost tens of thousands of blue-collar jobs in manufacturing cutbacks and service jobs as the population dwindled. Mayor Mike Duggan, however, has made rebuilding the population and creating jobs and training programs some of Detroit's priorities now that the city is out of bankruptcy. Scroll down for video .

Yet two years ago, breastfeeding her third baby left Cassandra, 34, suffering from a condition that nearly killed her. She'd developed mastitis, which affects one in ten breastfeeding women and occurs when a milk duct, which transports milk to the nipple, becomes blocked. Milk builds up in the breast, leading to painful inflammation. Cassandra Fellingham got mastitis so bad when she breastfed her third child (r) she nearly died. Pictured with sons Miles, five, and Jensen, two . There are 15 to 20 milk ducts in each breast - these can become blocked for a number of reasons, such as the baby not latching on properly and draining the breast effectively, or feeding irregularly. It can also be caused by pressure from a bra that's too tight. Often, the condition clears up on its own - if the mother continues breastfeeding, this helps to drain the breast, clear the blockage and the problem resolves. However, for some women the stagnant milk becomes infected, causing flu-like symptoms such as aches and shivers. This may happen because bacteria enter the breast through a small crack or break in the skin, or as a result of bacteria in the baby's mouth and throat entering during breastfeeding. In this case, a course of antibiotics is required to clear the infection - mothers can take a type that is safe for babies, allowing them to keep breastfeeding. Cassandra knows these symptoms well - she had mastitis with her first child, Shikiera, now 15, and her second, Miles, now five. 'Both times I'd got pain, then a hardening of the breast, followed by aches and feeling rotten,' says Cassandra, a self-employed PA who lives with her partner and children in Littlehampton, West Sussex. 'I saw my GP and was given antibiotics, which cleared it up within a few days.' The bacteria that had caused the mastitis had spread to her bloodstream . So when Cassandra had her third child, Jensen, now two, and started feeling unwell, she knew what was wrong. 'When Jensen was eight weeks old, I got the familiar pain in my left breast - then I started to ache and feel as if I was coming down with flu. I knew without a doubt this was mastitis again.'

A weather pattern that buried the eastern U.S. in snow has left Alaska fairly warm and relatively snow-free this winter, especially south of the Alaska Range. 'If I have one more person say to me to move the Iditarod to Boston, I'm going to shake my head,' said race director Mark Nordman. Scroll down for video . In this photo taken on Thursday, there are bare patches of grass and mud on sled dog trails in Anchorage, Alaska which is unsuitable for the Iditarod . The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race starts Saturday with a ceremonial run through Anchorage. But the official start two days later has been moved 225 miles (360 kilometers) north, over the Alaska Range, to Fairbanks to avoid the area that left many mushers bruised and bloodied last year. Iditarod officials said the conditions are worse this year. The race's chief executive officer, Stan Hooley, called the conditions 'pretty miserable.' And last year was no picnic. One musher last year was taken out by a rescue helicopter after making it through the Dalzell Gorge only to hit his head on a tree stump in the Farewell Burn.

The winner is expected in Nome in about 10 days. Alaskans can thank the jet stream, which has been delivering warm air from the Pacific, said Dave Snider, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Anchorage. 'That position of the jet has been pretty stagnant, or at least in the general same position for a long period of time. While that's allowing a lot of cold air to flow out of the Arctic into the Midwest and the eastern seaboard, we're locked into the warmer part of that pattern, and we've continued to see those warm pushes for a fairly long period over the winter,' he said.

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 entirety of the auditory ossicle is shown . The remains from a 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. Excavations at the rock shelter in south west France began in the early 20th century. They yielded the remains of female and male adults to provide scientists with the first evidence of sexual dimorphism in Neanderthals, according to the Smithsonian. A total of eight individuals at all stages of life were purposefully buried at the site, including children and two foetuses. The skull of Ferrassie 1 is the most complete Neanderthal skull ever found and includes traits such as the low, sloping forehead and large nostrils. The site yielded seven Neanderthal skeletons ranging from foetuses to almost complete skeletons of adults, thought to be between 70,000 and 50,000 years old. Over 40 years on, they are shedding new light on the anatomy of the extinct species, which inhabited Europe and parts of western Asia between 230,000 and 28,000 years ago. 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.

Carafem, which opens this week, has a no-frills attitude when it comes to informing people with what they provide. One of their advertisement's reads, 'Abortion: Yeah, we do that'. Christopher Purdy, the clinic's president and founder, said he was inspired to start Carafem after working more than a decade promoting family planning and HIV prevention in developing countries. Carafem president and founder Christopher Purdy (pictured with health services vice president Melissa S. Grant) has begun a new Washington, D.C. abortion clinic that presents itself with a 'spa-like feel' It was there he realized how much easier it was to get an abortion, sometimes as simple as walking into a pharmacy, in places such as Ethiopia. Meanwhile, in the United States more than 200 laws have restricted the controversial procedure and forced dozens of clinics to close their doors, according to the Washington Post. Melissa S. Grant, Carafem's health services vice president, said it was important for the clinic 'to try and present an upgrade, almost spa-like feel'. The clinic will also only provide pharmaceutical abortions, meaning there will be no vacuum aspiration or surgical procedures available - this means that Carafem's clients cannot be more than 10 weeks pregnant. Purdy told the Washington Post that not purchasing surgical equipment allows him to charge $400 for the procedure, which is about $100 less than the average pharmaceutical abortion. The clinic offers fluffy robes, natural wood floors and tea on arrival, in an attempt to help destigmatize the procedure . Clients who walk into Carafem will receive counseling and go through 'basic tests' before they take the initial pill at the clinic. The whole appointment is supposed to take about 60 minutes.

Miguel Gonzales, 17, got a little help from a horse named Romeo to ask Catalina Hernandez to the prom . The Milpitas High School senior got the idea from the school's Spirit Day theme, which was 'salad dressing day'. He dressed up as a cowboy, boots and all, to represent ranch dressing. Hernandez was dressed in a toga to symbolize Caesar salad. Hernandez and her peers ran out of their classrooms, phones in hand, and she quickly said yes. But the students' principal was hardly excited by the grand gesture. 'I was there for a bit and I knew people would come like security so I tried to leave,' Gonzales told the San Jose Mercury News. The Milpitas High School senior was suspended for his grand gesture, as the school deemed the horse was a 'potential threat' to other students walking in the same path. But Gonzales will still be able to attend the prom . 'But on my way I heard the principal screaming... I kind of knew I was going to get into trouble.' Gonzales said he expected to get detention or Saturday school, but had no idea he could face suspension.

Women with vaginal piercings are to be classed as victims of female genital mutilation (FGM), health chiefs have said. Under new NHS rules to be introduced next month, any woman whose labia or clitoris has been pierced must be recorded as suffering FGM, a procedure which is illegal in the UK. The mandatory reporting regulations were sent to medical staff by the Department of Health, which said it is would start classifying the piercings 'within an abusive context'. It means that even women who have consented to the piercing for cosmetic reasons will be deemed as a potential victim of crime. Those responsible for carrying out the piercing could also be implicated for committing a criminal offence. The new rules are in line with guidance from the World Health Organisation, which last year classified piercing as 'harmful procedures' that are considered under the bracket of FGM. There is already much debate about whether genital surgery procedures such as so-called 'designer vagina' operations should be treated by as FGM. Last week, MPs released a report which said police, midwives and campaigners remain confused over whether the operations fall within FGM laws. Under the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003, it is illegal to cut girls' genitals unless there is a genuine justification. The exemptions in the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 refer to operations carried out on the grounds of physical or mental health and do not cover cosmetic surgery. The Home Affairs Select Committee said the act should be amended to reiterate that female genital cosmetic surgery on those who do not have a physical or mental health justification is potentially illegal. The Government has previously said it has no plans to make these changes. Some 170,000 women and girls are estimated to be living with FGM in the UK. More than 2,600 women and girls who went through FGM have been treated by the NHS since last September, with 499 women and girls with FGM seen in acute NHS trusts in England in January alone. More than 200 FGM-related cases were investigated by the police nationally in the past five years. A Department of Health man said: 'While there are challenges in this area and adult women may have genital piercings, in some communities girls are forced to have them. The World Health Organisation has quite rightly defined this as a form of FGM. 'We are taking every precaution to record genital piercings that have been done within an abusive context. 'The new data collection will help build a picture of the scale and the nature of the problem we are facing. We are continually working on ways to improve and develop the NHS response to this terrible practice.'", "summary": "New NHS rules will apply to any woman whose labia or clitoris is pierced .

Police Chief Thomas Jackson fields questions related to the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown on August 13, 2014 in Ferguson. The police chief and his department have been widely criticized for their bungled response to teen's death which sparked national protests .

Most of Ferguson's police officers and top elected officials are white, but two-thirds of the 21,000 residents are black. The report uncovered racist emails from three city employees, including some that belittled black residents or President Obama. All three employees responsible for those emails left their jobs on Thursday - it's not clear whether they were fired or resigned.

A St. Louis County grand jury also found no evidence of a crime and announced in November that Wilson would face no state charges.

But now things are looking up, perhaps Mr Osborne could afford to pop out and buy a pair of suit trousers that actually reach his shoes. While he undoubtedly hoped the country would be listening to what he had to say, many seemed more interested in what he was wearing. We've all been tightening our belts for a few years and judging by the Chancellor\u2019s trousers, so has he . In fact, his half-mast turn-ups attracted almost as many comments among Twitter users as some of his Budget measures. Some accused him of looking like a schoolboy while others pointed to the fact that his navy blue suit, unusually, had three buttons rather than the standard two and curiously high lapels. The budget suit \u2013 accessorised with a sombre, pale grey tie - provoked the strongest reaction on Twitter yesterday. While some users complimented him on the cut, many more questioned his \u2018strange\u2019 choice. It is not known from where Mr Osborne bought his unorthodox suit. His father, Sir Peter Osborne, is said to favour Savile Row tailors Richard James where a navy \u2018160s\u2019 suit costs \u00a31,150 and Turnbull and Asser shirts \u00a3145. George Osborne's half-mast turn-ups attracted almost as many comments on Twitter as his Budget measures . Some even accused Mr Osborne, 43, of wearing make-up, pointing to what appeared to be a tell-tale foundation line along his jaw, while his hair was compared to that of Hollywood star Antonio Banderas. It is not the first time his appearance has attracted comments. By 2014 his rather full figure of the year before had been replaced by his current slim look thanks to him adopting the fashionable 5:2 diet. In an interview last year, he said he had lost two stone on the diet, popular with celebrities, after seeking advice from his doctor. It involved him limiting his calorie intake to just 500 on two days of the week but eating normally on the other five. He was also seen jogging around St James\u2019s Park, across the road from the Treasury and changed his haircut, favouring a shorter crop, part of an apparent bid to appear more youthful. His new look is said to be down to one of his senior government aides, Thea Rogers. She used to work as a producer for BBC political editor Nick Robinson before Mr Osborne hired her to overhaul his image. His look yesterday was a far cry from his appearance back in 2010, when he first took up the government post and favoured a slightly more old fashioned hair-cut and suit.", "summary": "Chancellor's half-mast trousers attracted more comments than Budget .

He was beaten to the Ballon d'Or trophy by Cristiano Ronaldo as rumours of transfer surfaced.

Researchers found most people start life with robust heart health, but can lose it quickly through unhealthy eating habits. The American study showed few children under the age of 12 had an ideal diet and almost a third (30 per cent) were overweight or even obese. The researchers said the better equipped children are to make healthy choices, the healthier their hearts will be in adulthood.

In the sample of 8,961 children, the researchers found that all children had at least one ideal measure, but none had all four. An ideal diet score was the least prevalent health indicator, with less than one per cent of children having four or five of the five components of a healthy diet. The experts warned people are losing a lot of 'intrinsic' heart health very early in life, setting them up to be unhealthy adults . The five indicators of a healthy diet include low intake of sugar-sweetened drinks and salt, and high intake of wholegrains, fish, plus fruit and vegetables. Fewer than 10 per cent ate the recommended amounts of fruit and veg of more than 4.5 cups or more per day or fish, and wholegrains were the least frequently achieved component with just three per cent of boys and 2.4 per cent of girls hitting the target. Ninety per cent ate more salt than recommended, and more than half consumed more than the recommended number of calories from sugar-sweetened drinks.

And the sentences for three men who initially got five years were lowered to three years, seven months. The other eight convicts, including six women, have already served their sentences. None of the 16 defendants spoke in court. Hair and beards have spiritual significance in the Amish faith. Amish men do not shave their beards after marriage, believing it shows their devotion to God. During the 2011 attacks, some of the victims were awakened in the middle of the night by members of the Bergholz-based breakaway Amish group, before being restrained and viciously disfigured. At an earlier court hearing, a sheriff testified that one bishop's hair was unevenly chopped to the scalp by Mullet's followers, leaving his skin bloody. Another victim claimed four or five men dragged him out of his house by his chest-length beard and chopped it to within 1 1/2 inches of his chin. Prosecutors argued the original sentences should have remained intact because of the defendants' religious motivation and the fact that the sentences were lower than what federal guidelines allowed. However, attorneys for all the imprisoned men asked Judge Dan Aaron Polster at the court in Cleveland on Monday to reduce their clients' sentences to time served, allowing for their release.

+{"article": "How extraordinary that so much effort, by so many royal advisors and politicians, should have been expended in keeping secret what a future head of state has written to government ministers. All those who deplore the Supreme Court\u2019s decision, however, are wrong. For I believe this is a great day not only for the freedom of information which the law demands and allows. It should also be seen as a great day for the monarchy. The Supreme Court ruling that Prince Charles' 27 'black spider' memos should be released marks not only a great day for the freedom of information, but also one for the monarchy . One Tory bigwig recently told me that the Prince\u2019s letters would reveal him to be \u2018barking mad\u2019, but when I questioned him, he admitted he had not read a word of them. I thought this was a good example of how much damage the secrecy over his letters has done the Prince of Wales. When we are told that his correspondence is so hush-hush that it must be suppressed, we naturally imagine his letters will be inflammatory, or embarrassingly eccentric. We remember some of the Prince\u2019s strong turns of phrase, as when, in his leaked diaries, he described senior members of the Communist Chinese government as \u2018appalling old waxworks\u2019. We remember, too, his tendency to self-pity and self-absorption, and the round-robin letter to friends in which he complained about being seated in club-class on a plane to China for the Hong Kong hand-over to the Beijing government in 1997, saying tetchily his seat was \u2018uncomfortable\u2019. But despite this, many of his views are eminently sensible. He is bursting with ideas on subjects as varied as the environment, architecture, town planning, Shakespeare, agriculture, the King James Bible and much else besides. What\u2019s more, his opinions on architectural carbuncles or on the need for caution over genetically modified food are shared by countless numbers of Britons. Contrary to popular belief, the Queen has not always been completely above the political fray . For decades, he has been a sort of one-man Opposition to many of the idiotic or ugly things going on in our country. Many commentators have said that they deplore the Prince sounding off and getting involved in the day-to-day running of this country\u2019s affairs.

The lethal injection of Manuel Vasquez on Wednesday evening would leave Texas prison officials in the nation's most active death penalty state with enough pentobarbital to carry out only one more execution until they are able to obtain a new supply. At least six executions are scheduled in the coming weeks in Texas, where prison officials \u2014 like in other death penalty states \u2014 have struggled to find providers for drugs for executions. Vasquez, 46, had no appeals in the courts Tuesday and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles rejected a clemency petition filed on his behalf in a 7-0 vote. Gang enforcer Manuel Vasquez, 46, is scheduled for execution on Wednesday for the ordered murder of a San Antonio woman who ignored a 10 per cent street tax on drugs known as a 'dime' Evidence at Vasquez's 1999 capital murder trial showed he and two other men were carrying out orders to kill 51-year-old Juanita Ybarra for ignoring the Mexican Mafia's 10 per cent street tax on drugs \u2014 known as a 'dime.' After a night of drinking and drugs at a run-down San Antonio motel, Vasquez and two companions barged into the nearby room of Ybarra and her boyfriend, Moses Bazan, early on March 19, 1998, according to evidence presented at his trial. Bazan was knocked out in an ensuing struggle but said he saw Ybarra being beaten, heard Vasquez holler that she was biting him and saw Vasquez using a telephone cord to strangle Ybarra. The attackers grabbed valuables like cameras and jewelry, stuffed them into a pillowcase and fled. When Bazan regained consciousness, he stumbled to the motel office to summon police. He was able to identify at least one of the attackers, leading to the arrest of all three. One of them, Johnny Joe Cruz, took a plea deal that carried a seven-year sentence and testified against Vasquez. The third man charged, Oligario Lujan, is serving a 35-year prison term. Court records show the three were carrying out orders from Mexican Mafia boss Rene Munoz, who spent years on the Texas Department of Public Safety's 10 Most Wanted List until his arrest in 2012. Joel Perez, Vasquez's lead trial lawyer, recalled last week that the motive for the slaying was 'very detrimental'. 'We have the Texas Mexican Mafia, and anyone selling drugs they collect a dime - 10 percent,' he said. 'And the motive in this case was she wasn't paying.'

Trudy Quinlivan, now 35, was freed under orders that she be closely supervised in the community. But she is now wanted by police for allegedly failing to live up to the conditions of her release, and disappearing. Scroll down for video . A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a woman involved in an Adelaide house of horrors child abuse case where 21 children were found to be living among swarms of cockroaches, flies and maggots and faeces on the floor in 2008 . The South Australian Housing Trust home was uncovered by authorities in 2008 after one of the young boys was taken to the Lyell McEwan Hospital after fainting from malnutrition and hypothermia . Quinlivan was found unfit to stand trial due to mental incompetence in 2011 after she was found to have seriously abused five children living in the Adelaide house seven years ago. She was released into the community on a nine-year supervision order, but the Supreme Court was told on Friday she had breached some of its conditions and was missing. Lucy Boord, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, said Quinlivan had failed to obey the directions of her corrections officer, had twice tested positive to drugs and was not at the address where she was required to live. Her mental health team have not been able to locate her. Justice Ann Vanstone agreed to issue the warrant, requiring her to be brought before the court for a review of her release licence. Quinlivan was one of six people charged over the abuse of the children, aged between four and seven, who were starved to the point of malnutrition and forced to stand in a line for days on end.

The state, which has seen several hundred seismic events over the past five years, has 'a high degree of potential earthquake hazards,' according to the study accepted for publication this month whose authors include researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). 'The majority of the recent earthquakes in central Oklahoma define reactivated ancient faults at shallow depths in the crust' of less than 3.7 miles (6 km), said the report for the American Geophysical Union. Scroll down for video . History: The state of Oklahoma saw more earthquakes in 2014 than ever before in its recorded history . Building codes in Oklahoma for seismic events are not as stringent as in quake-prone states such as California (here, maintenance workers inspect the damage to one of the spires on Benedictine Hall at St. Gregory's University in Shawnee after two quakes hit the area in less than 24 hours in 2011) The report did not look at whether the reactivation of the faults was linked to the energy extraction technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. However, USA Today, reported that previous research has identified hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, as being behind 3,600 small earthquakes in Oklahoma from 2009 - 2014. Daniel McNamara, one of the paper's authors and a research geophysicist at USGS, said on Tuesday the 300 million-year-old subsurface faults that had not been active are suspected to be associated with the recent seismic activity. 'Any one of these fault zones that are producing magnitude 3 or 4 earthquakes could rupture into a larger earthquake. There are as many as 12 different fault zones that are capable of producing a large, 5 to 6 magnitude earthquake,' he said. In November 2011, Oklahoma suffered a 5.6 magnitude quake that damaged more than a dozen homes and several businesses. Building codes in Oklahoma for seismic events are not as stringent as in quake-prone states such as California. Wastewater disposal related to the fracking is suspected by many scientists to contribute to the earthquake activity. Millions of gallons of waste water are typically trucked from a fracking site to wells where the water is injected thousands of feet underground into porous rock layers. Energy companies deny there is a link between fracking and major seismic activity. The 300-million-year-old fault lines in Oklahoma are being reactivated by multiple earthquakes in the state that scientists previously have said were linked to fracking - although the most recent research did not look at the energy extraction technique . In November 2011, Oklahoma suffered a 5.6-magnitude quake that damaged more than a dozen homes and several businesses (here, a man examines bricks that fell from three sides of his in-law's home in Sparks after two earthquakes hit the area in less than 24 hours during the large 2011 quake)", "summary": "Deep fault lines older than the dinosaurs are being reactivated by small earthquakes .

Italian researchers have discovered a way to convert the liquid state of extra virgin olive oil into a gel, without the need for other solids. The so-called Gel Oil comes in different flavours (shown above) Known as Gel Oil, the food scientists said it can be added to salads and sandwiches, used in cooking and can be flavoured. Variations include lemon and basil. Olive oil (pictured) has long been linked with lower levels of cholesterol, blood pressure and a multitude of other health benefits . The discovery was made by 10 chemical engineers from the Italian University of Calabria in the southern town of Arcavacata. They used a technique called 'organogelazione' which involves subjecting the properties of certain molecules known in the food industry, such as emulsifiers, to a range of temperatures. When these molecules are heated and mixed they were found to form new structures. The university's food engineering department headed by Professor Bruno de Cindio said: 'In this network structure, the oil remains 'trapped' within the changing texture and transforms itself, in the first stage, into a gel form and, in a second stage, into a creamy spreadable paste.' He added that said that this also means it can be produced in various consistencies from a slightly stickier version ideal for dressing salads and other foods to a more solid variation that can be spread like margarine or butter on bread. The innovation has been patented and the team said it sees huge potential particularly among people with dietary restrictions or moral objections to dairy products such as vegans. The team are now hoping to create a company to sell Gel Oil and already developing variations flavoured with lemon and basil. Valeria Greco, one of the researchers of the team, said: 'Our idea certainly meets the needs of a new customer profile.

'He pays attention to every detail, tries different things, pushes players so you don't get lazy. We had a lot of new players coming in, especially young ones from abroad who had to settle in. 'I moved to England when I was 21 so i know it takes time to fit in, to learn. I knew that eventually it would all come together, and that is what the boss kept telling us as well.' Liverpool face Blackburn Rovers on Sunday for a chance of boosting their season even further by reaching the FA Cup semi-finals . Toure, who has returned from winning the Africa Cup of Nations with the Ivory Coast, could become the first player in history to win the FA Cup with three different clubs, having already collected the trophy with Arsenal (2003, 2005) and Manchester City (2011). Toure could become the first player to win the FA Cup with three clubs, having won it with Arsenal (above) and Manchester City previously . The 33-year-old celebrates winning the Africa Cup of Nations with the Ivory Coast in February . Although the 33-year-old has been used as a substitute in Liverpool's last two games, he understands that he is not guaranteed playing time at Anfield. 'When you're with a big team like Liverpool, you can't expect to start every game, especially because I was a way with the Ivory Coast for almost a month. 'But I am always ready to contribute whether it is on the pitch or in the dressing room. We have a team that's hungry for success, with exciting young players that I help guide with experience. The winning mentality is really, really strong.'", "summary": "Liverpool face Blackburn in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday .

The New York Youth Symphony was set to premiere the orchestral work on Sunday at the prestigious concert hall but the orchestra's management removed it, saying that such an explosive musical reference required a longer conversation. No one has suggested any Nazi sympathy by composer Jonas Tarm, a 21-year-old Estonian American, who intended for the work to deplore war including recent bloodshed in Ukraine. Composer: The New York Youth Symphony canceled Jonas Tarm's 'Marsh u Nebuttya' after management realized it featured a snippet of a Nazi German anthem . Piece: Tarm uploaded this photograph of his work 'Marsh u Nebuttya,' which is Ukrainian for 'March to Oblivion.' It featured both a portion from the Nazi song 'Horst-Wessel-Lied' and the anthem of Soviet-ruled Ukraine . But the controversy raised a broader question -- how explicitly do artists need to state that allusions to history's darkest chapters are meant to condemn rather than condone? The New York Youth Symphony, which recognizes performers and composers under age 22, said Tarm only informed the management last week that his piece included 45 seconds of 'Horst-Wessel-Lied,' one of the Nazis' main anthems which is banned in modern Germany and Austria. The symphony said that the nine-minute piece could have been 'an important teaching moment for our students' but that Tarm refused to lay out his reasons for using 'Horst-Wessel-Lied.' 'Without this information, and given the lack of transparency and lack of parental consent to engage with this music, we could not continue to feature his work on the program,' the symphony said in a statement. 'We believe deeply in a free creative process. But along with freedom comes responsibility, even more so when young people are involved,' it said. Tarm had entitled his work 'Marsh u Nebuttya,' which is Ukrainian for 'March to Oblivion,' and it also incorporated the anthem of Soviet-ruled Ukraine. He initially explained his work only with a dedication in the program 'to the victims of hunger and fire' and an excerpt from T.S. Eliot's post-World War I poem 'The Hollow Men.' 'Between the conception and the creation / Between the emotion and the response / Falls the Shadow,' runs the verse from Eliot, who is often considered the premier 20th century English-language poet but also faced accusations of anti-Semitism. Disclosure: The New York Youth Symphony said Tarm only informed the management last week that his piece included 45 seconds of 'Horst-Wessel-Lied,' one of the Nazis' main anthems. The song is banned in modern Germany and Austria . Upset: After Tarm's Carnegie Hall (pictured) debut was cancelled, Tarm spoke more at length, saying he was 'disappointed and confused' by the rejection of a piece 'not meant to provoke, but to evoke . Intent: Tarm has said the piece is 'devoted to the victims who have suffered from cruelty and hatred of war, totalitarianism, polarizing nationalism -- in the past and today' Music speaks for itself?

The Chelsea Under 18s are the reigning FA Youth Cup champions and they reached their fourth consecutive final on Wednesday night by defeating Tottenham 5-4 on aggregate. The success story does not stop there as the Under 19 side have also reached the semi-final of the UEFA Youth League where they will play Roma across two legs in April. However, ahead of Sunday's visit to play Hull, Mourinho has warned the burgeoning stars that the pressure at Stamford Bridge is to collect trophies, not produce players. Chelsea moved into their fourth straight FA Youth Cup final after beating Tottenham on aggregate . 'If they're good enough and they're ready then yes,' Mourinho said when asked if having a core of home-grown talent was a target. 'It's important, but this club is a very demanding club. It's a club where it's not easy to play football. The level people demand is high, the pressure is big. 'It's not the same to play in a club where people just accept a so-so performance, or people accept a so-so result. Or accept that you finish 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th. 'This is not the best habitat for a young player to be developed. For a player to play in the Chelsea first team the player must be ready. There is no space with this level of demand, responsibility and pressure. There is no space to play a player who is not ready.' Striker Dominic Solanke struck twice on Wednesday night to help the Under-18 side reach the cup final once again and also netted a brace in last season's final second-leg when his side lifted the trophy ahead of Fulham. Jose Mourinho says that the youth players must be ready to play before being promoted to the first team . But even after making his Champions League debut in a dead rubber group-stage match earlier this season, the wealth of imported talent means he is unlikely to get another first-team chance any time soon. 'I played Solanke winning 5-0 against Maribor, in a competition where we qualified easily in the group phase,' Mourinho said. 'I cannot play Solanke against Southampton with 30 minutes left at 1-1, I can't.' Solanke and the rest of Chelsea's finalists did get some additional reward for their heroics on Wednesday night after club captain John Terry was in the dressing room after the 5-2 win congratulating the young charges and offering advice. The Blues' skipper is destined to one day take over as manager of the west London club, but Mourinho insists it will not be any time soon while the centre-back is still one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

A cause of death for the 43-year-old couldn't be immediately confirmed Monday. Suspect: Todd Hall, center, miles before leaving court in Ironton, Ohio (2002 file photo). Hall was accused of starting a 1996 fire at an Ohio fireworks store that killed nine people . Hall, of Proctorville, was 24 when prosecutors say that, as a prank, he threw a lighted cigarette on a shelf crammed with fireworks at the Ohio River Fireworks store in Scottown, about 100 miles southeast of Cincinnati. The blaze on July 3, 1996, killed nine people and eleven people were injured. Five of the victims were from Ohio; the four others were from nearby West Virginia. According to court testimony, Hall had part of his brain removed after suffering a serious injury in a 1987 skateboard accident and had the mental capacity of a 10-year-old .

According to court testimony, Hall had part of his brain removed after suffering a serious injury in a 1987 skateboard accident and had the mental capacity of a 10-year-old. Charged with aggravated arson and nine counts of involuntary manslaughter, he repeatedly was ruled incompetent to stand trial in the years since then. In recent years, he had shown severe impairments in his ability to control his behavior, regulate his mood and take care of himself and was deemed incapable of living outside a facility, according to the last court-ordered evaluation a few years ago. The Daily Independent reported that Hall giggled and sang the Star-Spangled Banner in court.

Tyaina Finch was charged with murder, aggravated assault and possessing instruments of crime in the death of Mark Hudson in Darby Township, near Philadelphia, on Saturday. Hudson had worked part-time for the Darby Borough Police Department for four years. The dog did it: Slain Darby Borough Patrolman Mark Hudson\u2019s girlfriend, Tyaina Finch, initially told investigators he was mortally wounded as she tried to retrieve his duty weapon from their yellow Labrador retriever\u2019s mouth . Tribute: Funeral arrangements are set and a vigil was also held Wednesday night for the Darby Borough police officer who was killed allegedly at the hands of his girlfriend . District Attorney Jack Whelan said Finch's statements to police had been 'inconsistent.' He described the couple's relationship as 'tumultuous' and said officers had been called to the home before for domestic disturbances. 'We believe she acted on this particular day with specific intent to kill (Hudson),' he said. Finch, who was held without bail, couldn't be reached for comment by telephone on Tuesday.

Authorities allege in a criminal complaint that Finch, who's from Glenolden, at first said the shooting occurred accidentally: She saw their dog with a gun on the floor and took the gun from the dog's mouth, and as she turned toward Hudson the gun went off. The following day, police allege, she told officers she fired the gun in self-defense after Hudson attacked her. Authorities said a caller identifying herself as Finch on the day of the shooting told an ambulance dispatcher 'we were playing and I didn't know that his gun was right there and it went off.' Finch told a police officer arriving at the scene 'it was an accident,' the criminal complaint says.

Clinton has come under fire for exclusively using her own 'clintonemail.com' address while she was America's top diplomat. She admitted Tuesday during a news conference at the United Nations that she deleted more than 30,000 emails she decided were personal in nature and unrelated to her job. Separately from claims by The Weekly Standard, the gossip website Gawker reported this month that Abedin and Phillippe Reines, Clinton's top communications strategist, had the private addresses.

Daily Mail Online was able to confirm Abedin's email address through Lexis-Nexis, a commercial service that compiles public records. 'Huma@clintonemail.com' was one of several of Abedin's email addresses Nexis collected in conjunction with other public records. Email addresses typically land in the Nexis database when people list them on credit applications, mortgage paperwork or other legal documents.

Mr Miliband has said he will extend this to the families and friends of gay men who received convictions in their lifetime but died before they could apply to have the records changed. The Labour leader told Gay Times that, if elected Prime Minister in May, he would make the matter a priority.

The Arab state is believed to have executed 38 people so far this year, treble the number in the same period in 2014 and a sign its new King Salman is showing no mercy to offenders. Now Amnesty has sounded the latest of several warnings over the country's 'unfair' justice system and harsh punishments. Regime: Some 38 people have already been beheaded in Saudi Arabia this year. King Salman (above meeting British Prime Minister David Cameron) was crowned in January and shows no sign of leniency . The charity's Saudi Arabia researcher, Sevag Kechichian, told Adam Withnall of The Independent: 'Almost half of this year's executions have actually been for non-violent drugs-related offences. 'There's no real rhyme or reason for this upsurge in executions, and in a way this makes it all the more alarming.' The Saudi authorities insist there is a surge in the number of executions because . Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under Saudi Arabia's version of Islamic sharia law. No mercy: King Salman pictured in January . One diplomatic source told the AFP news agency the surge in beheadings had started long before the reign of King Salman, who was crowned in January after the death of his half-brother King Abdullah. 'The Saudi authorities want to show everyone they are strong, people can rely on them to keep the security and the safety in the kingdom,' said the source. The insider claimed the aim was to deter all forms of violence but the policy is linked to the kingdom's fight against the Islamic State group. In September, Saudi Arabia began air strikes against the terrorists in Syria as part of the US-led coalition, raising concerns about possible retaliation inside the kingdom. Security officers arrested three Saudis who allegedly acted 'in support of' the group when they shot and wounded a Dane in November. But Mr Kechichian said: 'The current rate has been truly unprecedented. It would... be a stretch to say that this is an attempt to deter violence.'

Rosberg lost out to Hamilton at last season's title decider in Abu Dhabi, with the Briton storming to the chequered flag as his Mercedes team-mate encountered technical gremlins. It marked Hamilton's 11th victory of the campaign, six more than Rosberg. The Mercedes pair are set to go toe-to-toe for this year's championship once more, with the Brackley-based outfit appearing to boast the strongest package ahead of Sunday's curtain raiser in Melbourne.

And Hill, the 1996 world champion, believes Rosberg has to improve on his displays of last season to stand any chance of stopping Hamilton from claiming back-to-back titles. 'Nico has talents that are slightly more subtle and less obvious than Lewis, but I think he is going to have to invent a new Nico to counter his team-mate,' said Hill. 'If you look at the strike-rate of Lewis's wins in comparison to Nico, that was pretty formidable really. Does it change that much and can it change that much over the winter? 'It can, but politically now Nico had an opportunity last year to establish himself as the guy that the team wants to invest in, but Lewis really captured that with the biggest prize going. 'The championship was delivered by Lewis, so he is clearly someone, if Mercedes have to hedge one way or the other, then they will go for Lewis.' Hamilton will begin the new campaign as the favourite to claim his third championship. But does Hill believe there is any danger that the Briton, whose celebrity status outside Formula One continues to grow following a number of showbiz appearances during the off season, will take his eye off the ball?

On the advice of doctors, Alonso is absent from the season-opening Australian Grand Prix after sustaining concussion following a heavy crash on the final day of the second pre-season test last month. Fears were expressed to Alonso of 'second-impact syndrome' whereby a serious brain injury, or even death, could occur should the 33-year-old be involved in a second incident so soon after the first. Jenson Button walks through the paddock at the Albert Park circuit ahead of the Australian Grand Prix . After several weeks testing (above), the Formula One season gets underway in Melbourne on Sunday . Despite that there has been scepticism of the decision, particularly as Alonso spent three days in a local hospital and passed a variety of tests. Button knows what it is like to suffer concussion as he was involved in a severe accident in practice for the 2003 Monaco Grand Prix, yet just a fortnight later was back behind the wheel of his car in Canada. On reflection, Button knows he should arguably have never driven in that subsequent race, so can understand the precautions taken with Alonso, even if they appear extreme. 'As far as I know he (Alonso) had three days (in hospital) undergoing every scan and check under the sun,' said Button. 'I'm sure whatever they've chosen to do is the correct decision. The British F1 driver understands why McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso will miss the race . Alonso suffered concussion after a high speed crash at the Circuit de Catalunya on February 22 . 'Concussions vary. Some are very light, and then you have different grades of concussion, brain damage. 'For me, I raced two weeks after an accident in Monaco in 2003, with checks of standing on a box, closing one eye and whatever else I had to do. 'To be honest, I scraped through, so they let me race, but that was nearly 13 years ago. Now the checks are very stringent.

Despite Alonso's incident at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya, Button insists he has no issues with the car.

The Woking-based marque, however, categorically ruled out any such faults and instead stated a freak gust of wind played its part in the double world champion veering off track and into a wall.

Mr Graham himself was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease at just 34. The ex-serviceman, now 39, discovered in 2010 that he carries the same faulty gene that claimed the lives of his father, aunt, cousin and granddad, all in their 40s. This rare, inherited, or 'familial' form of Alzheimer's disease has also left his 43-year-old brother, Tony, bedbound in a care home and being fed through a tube. Scroll down for video . Chris Graham was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease at just 34. Several members of his family have been killed by the cruel, genetic form of the condition . Like his brother, Mr Graham carries a faulty version of PSEN-1 gene, which affects around 400 families worldwide. The father-of-three, from Carterton in Oxfordshire, is experiencing mild memory problems, but knows it is a case of when, not if, his dementia progresses. Although he is young, the disease process will affect him in the same way as the estimated 500,000 people with Alzheimer's in the UK. Mr Graham, who was medically discharged from the Army in January after 23 years' service, said: 'My friends didn't believe me when I told them I had Alzheimer's disease. 'At the age of 39, it just doesn't make sense to people: I'm fighting fit \u2013 how can I have something like that? We still think of Alzheimer's as a bit of forgetfulness as we get older. The truth is far worse.' He continued: 'My family has been hit hard by Alzheimer's. Dad died aged 42. He was in hospital so long I don't really remember him, I was only six or seven at the time. 'His sister, my aunt Thelma, died at 41 as she inherited the faulty gene too. I also lost a cousin, Thelma's daughter, at 41, and a granddad, Dad's father, at 46 to the disease.' This rare, inherited, or 'familial' form of Alzheimer's disease has also left his 43-year-old brother, Tony (pictured with his son), bedbound in a care home and being fed through a tube . The disease also claimed the life of Mr Graham's father. He said: 'My family has been hit hard by Alzheimer's. Dad died aged 42. He was in hospital so long I don't really remember him, I was only six or seven at the time' As one of four children, each of Mr Graham and his siblings had a 50/50 chance of inheriting the gene from their father. While his two sisters avoided the genetic curse, tragically, both he and his brother Tony have been struck by it. Speaking about his brother, who was diagnosed in 2006, said: 'He's in an old folk's home, he can't move and has to be fed through a tube. He can't speak but can raise a smile sometimes.'

Queues of up to five miles and lengthy delays are predicted when the new regime starts on April 8. Under the new rules, the passport of every passenger in a car or coach will have to be individually scanned. Ministers insist that knowing who is leaving the country is vital for counting the number of immigrants in Britain and fighting crime and terrorism. Nightmare journeys: P&O Ferries has claimed new border control rules will cause huge delays leaving the country with 'coachloads of little old ladies bearing the brunt' But even though no checks have taken place over the past 17 years, the Home Office decided the best date to reinstate them should be on the second week in April \u2013 when vast numbers of Britons head to the continent during the Easter school break. Ferry companies warn that holidaymakers will be held in queues on the A20 in Kent, blocking the route between Dover and Folkestone during one of the busiest times of year. MPs on the home affairs select committee were sent a letter from the UK Chamber of Shipping claiming trials had shown that queues of at least 650 vehicles would form on busy days. Tim Reardon, the chamber\u2019s policy director, said: \u2018The model showed that, with tourist and freight check-in transactions extended by exit checks, the queue of traffic heading for the port of Dover would extend at least 8km, blocking the A20 almost as far as Folkestone.\u2019 Eurotunnel calculates the new system will quadruple the time taken to get vehicles onto shuttle trains. Buses with 30 or more passengers on board will take even longer. Checking a car on to a cross-Channel train takes 15 seconds at the moment. But passport checks on up to five passengers will stretch that closer to two minutes, adding to delays. Eurotunnel public affairs director John Keefe said: \u2018You only have to multiply the number of people in each vehicle \u2013 five six or seven in a car or 30 or more in a coach \u2013 to see how this will play out.

Dennis Lovell, the charity's animal collection officer, said the caoti had been missing a month before they were contacted. He said: 'In early February we received a flurry of calls regarding a small bear like animal that was spotted in and around the Marlow area. 'It was eventually established it was actually a coatimundi that was on the loose after escaping from a home in the area. 'We soon discovered where he had escaped from and were in contact with the owners about getting him home safely.

+{"article": "Another weekend and more discussions and dissatisfaction with officiating. At Old Trafford I could actually understand how Roger East thought that Wes Brown had clipped Radamel Falcao but the clear and obvious foul was clearly by John O'Shea. East was right to award the penalty kick. What mystified me was that the PGMO decided, unusually, to issue a statement regarding the incident, perhaps in an attempt to support one of their officials. East's statement, in which he felt Brown had made the foul for the penalty, makes it impossible for the FA to transfer the red card to O'Shea as they can only do so when the referee accepts that he has disciplined the wrong player. Wes Brown was sent off for a foul on Falcao even though it appeared John O'Shea made the contact . Gus Poyet's side are appealing Brown's red card but an overturn isn't certain . Roger East sends off Brown (right) and Poll admits he can understand his decision to show him the red card . Now the red card will be issued to Brown, although he has appealed it as he did not foul Falcao. Had no statement been made then the card could have been transferred and natural justice could have taken place - even when referees get decisions right there appears to be a mess-up. Nothing is certain, however, in the discredited disciplinary process following the Ashley Barnes and Nemanja Matic incident. Barnes could not be charged for a clearly and widely accepted red card challenge while a player guilty of violent conduct, according to the FA, had a reduced ban for some bizarre reason. Either he was guilty or not. Another example is that Crystal Palace captain Mile Jedinak should be charged for his clearly deliberate forearm smash on West Ham's Diafra Sakho towards the end of Palace's win at Upton Park. It appeared to be unseen by referee Mike Dean but was around the area of active play, where the ball was present, so could that be deemed as 're-refereeing' an incident? I hope not as the Australian certainly deserves a ban for the mindless assault. Mile Jedinak's elbow was labelled a 'mindless assault' and Poll says he should be punished . The Crystal Palace midfielder caught West Ham striker Diafra Sakho and was lucky not to injure him . There was more dissatisfaction, and this time by both mangers over the performance of referee Neil Swarbrick at The Britannia Stadium. There were three key incidents although both Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes seemed less than happy with the general refereeing. Two acts of serious foul play escaped Swarbrick's detection and Stephen Ireland was involved in both. First he went into a challenge with David Meyler leading with a sideways, stamping studs first boot which could have caused a really nasty injury \u2013 it certainly endangered his opponents safety and should have led to a red card. Just ten minutes later it appeared that Hull's Maynor Figueroa decided to take the law into his own hands and went through Ireland from behind,", "summary": "Wes Brown was sent off for a foul on Falcao when it appeared John O'Shea fouled him but Roger East's decision was understandable at the time .

The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Clinton's emails - on a private account she used exclusively for official business when she was Secretary of State - traced back to an Internet service-registered to her family's home in Chappaqua, New York, according to records reviewed. The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, impressive control over limiting access to her message archives. It also would distinguish Clinton's secretive email practices as far more sophisticated than some politicians, including Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, who were caught conducting official business using free email services operated by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. Most Internet users rely on professional outside companies, such as Google Inc. or their own employers, for the behind-the-scenes complexities of managing their email communications. Government employees generally use servers run by federal agencies where they work. In most cases, individuals who operate their own email servers are technical experts or users so concerned about issues of privacy and surveillance they take matters into their own hands. Clinton has not described her motivation for using a private email account - hdr22@clintonemail.com - which traced back to her own private email server registered under an apparent pseudonym - for official State Department business. Operating her own server would have afforded Clinton additional legal opportunities to block government or private subpoenas in criminal, administrative or civil cases because her lawyers could object in court before being forced to turn over any emails.

The highly respected academic has endorsed a new book, which argues the companies responsible for developing genetically modified farming and food have twisted the evidence to minimise the dangers. Historically, critics of GM food have been lambasted by the GM companies, scientists who rely on their funding, and politicians, including the UK Government, as being \u2018anti-science\u2019. However, Dame Jane argues that the advocates of GM food have ignored evidence of harm with the result it is they who are guilty of being \u2018anti-science\u2019. The intervention is a powerful condemnation of the way biotech companies like Monsanto, Syngenta and Bayer, have forced GM crops and food on to dinner plates in the US without proper safety tests. And she is joining a growing campaign warning that Britain and Europe must not drop safeguards that have kept GM crops out. Dame Jane\u2019s concerns have been raised in the foreword to a new book, \u2018Altered Genes, Twisted Truth\u2019, which is written by the American public interest lawyer, Steve Druker. Its publication comes as the US is seeing a growing backlash against GM. Just last week it emerged that the country\u2019s favourite chocolate manufacturer, Hershey, is to drop GM from its products. Dame Jane said she has become appalled as what she calls a \u2018shocking corruption of the life forms of the planet\u2019. She said the GM process, which involves adding foreign genes to plants to create toxins to fend off insects or give them immunity to being sprayed with chemical pesticides has fundamentally changed them. However, she complains that supporters of the technology have committed a \u2018fraud\u2019 by trying to give the false impression that these new plants are essentially the same as those created by conventional plant breeding. She said: \u2018This very real difference between GM plants and their conventional counterparts is one of the basic truths that biotech proponents have endeavoured to obscure. As part of the process, they portrayed the various concerns as merely the ignorant opinions of misinformed individuals \u2013 and derided them as not only unscientific, but anti-science. \u2018They then set to work to convince the public and government officials, through the dissemination of false information, that there was an overwhelming expert consensus, based on solid evidence, that the new foods were safe. Yet this, as Druker points out, was clearly not true.\u2019 Importantly, she claims, the companies have spread disinformation to try and win public support. \u2018Druker describes how amazingly successful the biotech lobby has been \u2013 and the extent to which the general public and government decision makers have been hoodwinked by the clever and methodical twisting of the facts and the propagation of many myths. Moreover, it appears that a number of respected scientific institutions, as well as many eminent scientists, were complicit in this relentless spreading of disinformation.\u2019 Dame Jane is considered to be the world\u2019s foremost expert on chimpanzees.

Prosecutors say Richard Gatiss deliberately targeted his 4ft 6in, visually-impaired 67-year-old victim out of hostility towards the disabled. The cowardly attack on Mr Barnes, from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, shocked Britain in January and a fundraising campaign to buy him a new home made \u00a3330,000 in just a few days. Alan Barnes - who suffers growth problems and is partially sighted - was attacked by drug addict Richard Gatiss (right) in January. Prosecutors today called for the offence to be categorised as a disability hate crime . Gatiss, 25, also of Gateshead, appeared briefly at Newcastle Crown Court via a videolink from Durham Prison today, where he is being kept in segregation for his own safety. He will be sentenced on April 2. The mugger sat hunched in his chair today as he followed proceedings and broke down in tears at one point. Nick Dry, prosecuting, said Gatiss struck in an area of sheltered accommodation for disabled and elderly people. He also made a partial admission to police that he knew of Mr Barnes prior to the attack. The court heard that, in Mr Barnes's opinion, he was attacked due to his disability. Mr Dry said if it was agreed that Gatiss specifically targeted Mr Barnes 'it can be inferred there is a general hostility towards people of disability'. That could mean Gatiss was guilty of a disability hate crime, which would aggravate the assault with intent to rob charge that he admitted last month. Mr Dry added: 'It is pure inference that is sought by the crown.' The attack on Mr Barnes sparked outrage around Britain and led to his neighbour, beautician Katie Cutler, organising a fund to help the 67-year-old . Donations flooded in from around the world and saw Mr Barnes given \u00a3330,000 to buy him a new home . But Judge Paul Sloan QC suggested the claim of a general hostility towards disabled people was 'hollow' and told the court the aggravating circumstances would be factored into the sentencing anyway. He said the prosecution must serve evidence to back up their claims within a week. Judge Sloan told Gatiss at the end of the 10-minute hearing he would continue to be remanded in custody and 'an immediate sentence of imprisonment is pretty well inevitable'. It has previously been said in court that Gatiss was trying to get money to buy legal highs when he mugged Mr Barnes.

In his final Budget before the general election, the Chancellor announced a new 'help-to-buy ISA' only available to those yet to buy their first home. The new savings account will see the Government add \u00a350 to every \u00a3200 which savers manage to put away towards a deposit. It will mean that anyone who saves \u00a312,000 towards a deposit will have it topped up by \u00a33,000. But critics said it will still take first-time buyers five years to save the cash by which time house prices will have soared by another \u00a315,000. Scroll down for video . The new savings account will see the Government add \u00a350 to every \u00a3200 savers manage to put away towards a deposit . Matt Hutchinson, director of the house share website SpareRoom, welcomed Mr Osborne's announcement - but said it might still not be enough. He said: 'At first glance, a handout of up to \u00a33,000 from the Government for hopeful first time buyers looks too good to be true. 'But to get your maximum \u00a33,000 bonus, with maximum monthly payments of just \u00a3200, you'll be saving for four and a half long years. By which time, prices will likely have risen again and a \u00a315,000 deposit won't be enough.' The accounts will only be available for the next four years, but once they have been opened there will be no limit on how long people can save for. They will be available through banks and building societies this Autumn, with first time buyers able to make an initial deposit of \u00a31,000 when they open the account. There will be no minimum monthly deposit \u2013 but people will only be able to save up to \u00a3200 a month. The government has also capped the total bonus they will pay at \u00a33,000. The Chancellor said the soaring size of deposits was making it harder for first-time buyers to get on the housing ladder . According to Treasury documents released today, people outside London now need almost \u00a330,000 for a deposit on their first home, while in London they need almost \u00a370,000 . First-time buyers in London will be allowed to use the bonus to buy homes worth up to \u00a3450,000 - but for everyone else the ceiling will be \u00a3250,000.

According to Treasury documents released today, first-time buyers in London now need almost \u00a370,000 to get their first home. Outside London people need almost \u00a330,000. Soaring house prices and tighter mortgage rules have made it harder for first time buyers to get on the housing ladder .

The unique Mercedes SLS 300 'Porter Special', worth an estimated \u00a34million, which was being driven by F1 and Le Mans legend Jochen Mass crashed into the back of a Lister-Jaguar Knobbly - thought to be worth around \u00a31million.

Spectators watched in shock as the Mercedes - driven by racing legend Jochen Mass - ploughed into the Jaguar as it exited a chicane . The rear of the Jaguar - which was slowing to enter the pit lane - was wrenched upwards, while the front of the classic Mercedes disintergrated . Driver Mass crashed into the back of the 1959 Jaguar driven by Tony Wood during the qualifying round for the race and the famous racing car had to be winched onto a tow-truck. The Lister, owned by Barry Wood, was entering the pits when Mass powered out of a chicane to find the slowing Lister in front of him. He slammed on the brakes but his wheels locked up, causing the Mercedes to smash into the rear of the Lister. It brought the qualifying period to an abrupt halt with stewards running onto the track to help both drivers and deal with fuel which had leaked onto the Tarmac. Both drivers emerged from their cars unscathed but were taken to the medical room as a precaution. The cars did not fare so well however, with both suffering serious damage. The Mercedes came off the worst, with the front-end badly dented, meaning it could not be moved on its own. The back of the Jaguar was bent out of shape by the force of the impact. It is now known whether the vehicles were insured, but it is feared repairs could cost more than \u00a3100,000. At the time, Wood was the second fastest in the Lister while Mass was 22nd. The Mercedes is unique, having been created by a US mechanic in the 1950s, and it is feared it will be difficult to restore to its former glory . The Jaguar fared equally badly in the accident and was left with the rear badly twisted into the air and damage to both sets of wheels . Stewards rushed to deal with fuel which spilled onto the track and the race was stopped. Luckily, the drivers of both cars were unharmed . A statement from Goodwood Motorsport said: 'There was a collision during qualifying for the Salvadori Cup on the afternoon of Saturday, March 21, 2015, involving car 23, a Lister-Jaguar 'Knobbly' driven by Tony Wood and car 8, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLS \"Porter Special\" driven by", "summary": "A unique Mercedes SLS 300 had been transported from Germany to be shown off at the Sussex track on Saturday .

Model Anna Duritskaya, 23, is now under the guard of SBU secret services and the police. Kiev also said today that she would not return to Moscow over the probe into the death of the Vladimir Putin foe. 'We will not let her go back to Russia,' said Anton Geraschenko, an aide to the Interior Minister. 'If Russian investigators need to talk to her, they will have to come to Ukraine.' The announcement came as another of Russia's leading opposition figures vowed that he and his supporters will not be intimidated by as he walked free from a 15-day spell in jail. Alexei Navalny, who had been convicted of handing out leaflets calling for an opposition rally, said he would continue his staunch criticism of Vladimir Putin's government despite the Mr Nemtsov's murder seven days ago. Emerging unshaven from a Moscow detention centre this morning, Mr Navalny said: 'This act of terror hasn't achieved its goal, it will not frighten me or my comrades. We will not reduce our efforts, we will not step back.'

A relative in Ukraine said she was 'in a bad mental state'. In the aftermath of Mr Nemtsov's assassination, Miss Duritskaya was repeatedly questioned by Russian investigators, and she complained that she was held under armed guard and unable to leave the country.

British researchers are now working on a related approach. Both methods involve taking T-cells, which fight infection, and giving them the ability to recognise a special tag on the surface of cancer cells, called the WT1 protein. The research is being carried out on patients with leukaemia. But the scientists hope their vaccines will eventually be used to fight many types of cancer, including that of breast, bowel and prostate \u2013 whose cells tend to have WT1 on their surfaces. There is even talk of a \u2018universal cancer vaccine\u2019 among some scientists, although the researchers themselves believe that is unlikely.

Over the past three years, specialist Guenther Koehne, of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, has treated 15 plasma cell leukaemia patients with T-cells taught to recognise cancer.

The T-cells are then given to the patient in a series of injections over several months.

The destruction of the religious building was subsequently confirmed by Barzan Sadiq, executive producer at Kurdish Rudaw media network, according to the International Business Times. '#ISIS blew the monastery of the two martyrs \"Mar Behnam & His sister Sarah Mart\",which dates back to the fourteenth century eastern #Mosul,' he was quoted as saying on Twitter, citing the Islamic calender. The destruction of the monastery came just days it was claimed that 'ancient' statues infamously filmed being smashed to pieces by ISIS militants in a Mosul museum were all worthless fakes. The terrorist organisation released shocking footage at the end of February purportedly showing jihadis destroying 3,000-year-old artworks with sledgehammers in their northern Iraqi stronghold.

Omitted from the Celtic manager\u2019s early first-team squads, a conversation between the pair became unavoidable. Israeli midfielder Nir Bitton has become a key player for Celtic after struggling to adapt at first . The Norwegian talked. Bitton listened. Crucially, he also learned what it would take to salvage his Celtic career. \u2018I prefer the conversation between me and the gaffer to stay between me and him,\u2019 said Bitton. \u2018But at the beginning of the season there were a couple of things I didn\u2019t understand in terms of what he expected from me. \u2018Sometimes you need a conversation with the gaffer to understand what he wants from you. To understand what he expects from you as a player and a professional.\u2019 Bitton needed a conversation with manager Ronny Deila before the penny finally dropped for him . The temptation for any player out of the team is to blame the coach but Deila told Bitton to look a little closer to home. Speaking in recent weeks, the Celtic boss said: \u2018If you put everything on the coach then you are lost, you are finished. \u2018You have to go into yourself and ask \u201cWhy am I not playing?

It\u2019s difficult sometimes to be honest if you have the wrong attitude. But if you want success you must change to do things the way the gaffer wants. \u2018I said to myself, if I don\u2019t change I will find myself out of this club. \u2018It\u2019s not easy when you are not playing so you need to have a good attitude and a strong mentality \u2014 you need to show the gaffer you want to change.\u2019 Bitton is keen to play in the Scottish League Cup final this weekend, but is struggling with injury .

The proposed site in leafy Catherine-de-Barnes, near Solihull, West Midlands, will include a total of 3,333 graves for followers of Islam. This is despite Muslims accounting for fewer than 3 per cent of the population of Solihull and its surrounding areas. Residents living in a picturesque rural village have hit out at controversial plans to build a Muslim cemetery on rural land . The proposed site of 3,000 graves (edged in blue) and the previous applications (green and red) that have been made for the sites near Solihull, West Midlands . Previous applications to build what would have been Britain's largest Muslim-only cemetery put before Solihull Metropolitan Borough have been unsuccessful. But Cemetery Development Services Ltd have now submitted scaled down plans with fewer graves, which could be approved next month. It would mean the cemetery could eventually hold over FIVE times as many people as Catherine-de-Barnes itself. The graveyard would be able to comply fully with Sharia law which states Muslims are traditionally buried in their own section of land, next to others of the same faith. Islamic law also stipulates a method of bathing and shrouding the bodies before being buried with their heads facing towards Mecca. Yesterday villagers criticised the revised plans for the major development - which will also include 95 spaces for visitors - and said it would blight green belt land. Locals are also objecting the plans for the cemetery based on concerns surrounding the impact it will have on traffic. Grandfather-of-four Gerry Chauke, 55, said: 'There is ample room for graves to accommodate the local population here. 'I'm a believer that these sort of developments should serve the local community, but we don't have a massively large multicultural population here. 'So plans to have a graveyard exclusively for Muslims just seems a bit absurd to me.' Leader of Solihull Council, Conservative councillor Bob Sleigh, who represents the Bickenhill ward, said he also agreed the needs of local people could already be met by current plots. The proposal in Catherine-de-Barnes, near Solihull, West Midlands, would include a total of 3,333 graves for followers of Islam . He said: 'This is simply not an appropriate place to site a cemetery. 'Planning permission was refused on substantial grounds last time and I will continue to oppose the scheme on the same grounds again. 'There were a lot of environmental concerns with siting a cemetery on this land. This is just not the right position for this type of scheme. 'There is no need for this extra site in Solihull.

+{"article": "Hewn into a hillside, this is the humble stone and mortar house where a scholar believes Jesus was raised. It has been dated to the early 1st century by a British archaeologist who says an ancient text points to the building as being the home in Nazareth where Mary and Joseph brought up the son of God. Professor Ken Dark says De Locis Sanctis, written in 670 by Irish monk Adomnan, described the house as located between two tombs and below a church. A British archaeologist has identified what he believes could have been the house (exterior pictured) where Jesus was raised. Dr Ken Dark said that the humble first century home in Nazareth, Northern Israel, could have been where Mary and Joseph brought up the son of God . In the first century, two tombs were built beside what is believed to be Jesus' home. The forecourt of the tomb seen here passes through the abandoned home. Dr Ken Dark describes it as having been cut out of a limestone hillside and having a series of rooms and a stairway . The text was based on a pilgrimage to Nazareth made by the Frankish bishop Arculf and tells of a church \u2018where once there was the house in which the Lord was nourished in his infancy\u2019. In the Byzantine era, and again in the 12th century at the time of the Crusades, the ruins of the building were incorporated into churches \u2013 suggesting it was of great significance and needed to be protected, the Reading University archaeologist argues. The house was cut into a limestone hillside and has a series of rooms and a stairway. One of the original doorways has survived, as has part of the original chalk floor. The key piece of evidence linking the site to Jesus is pilgrim text called 'De Locus Sanctis' written in 670 AD by abbot Adomn\u00e0n of Iona (pictured) It was supposedly based on a pilgrimage made to Nazareth and talks about a church 'where once there was the house in which the Lord was nourished in his infancy' The Sisters of Nazareth Convent matches this because there is evidence of a large Byzantine church with a spring and two tombs in its crypt, Dr Dark writes.The house he believes was Jesus' boyhood home stands in between the two tombs which also matches with Adomn\u00e0n's account . Writing in the journal Biblical Archaeological Review, Dr Dark says that while he has no proof, there is \u2018no good reason\u2019 to believe it was not Jesus\u2019s home. He has been researching the ruins, in what is now northern Israel, since 2006. The house was first identified as significant in the 1880s after the chance discovery of by nuns an ancient cistern. An excavation was ordered. Jesuit priest Henri Senes carried out more work in 1936. Since 2006, Dr Dark\u2019s team has discovered broken cooking pots, a spindle whorl and limestone artefacts.

The length of time that a woman can expect to live in good health is getting shorter, according to an official analysis. Men are now more likely to live a longer proportion of their lives in good health than women. However, women still live longer than men overall \u2013 though the gap is closing. The statistics, released yesterday, showed that over the past three years the expectancy of life in good health for a baby girl in England has dropped by nearly four months. But during the same period, the length of time that newborn baby boys can expect to live in good health has risen slightly. The latest figures are gathered from the Annual Population Survey run by the Office for National Statistics, which collects data on 320,000 people every year. Health life expectancy is calculated from the number of people who say they are in good or in very good health. Experts say these changes are as partially as a result of the major economic, industrial and family upheavals of the past 50 years. Men are likely to live longer now because few work in dangerous industrial jobs like coal mining, and fewer drink heavily or smoke. Women, however, are increasingly likely to spend much of their lives in demanding jobs, as well as bringing up children. According to the ONS, in the three years between 2011 and 2013, a baby girl born in England could on average expect to live in good health for 63.9 years. This compares with 64.2 years between 2009 and 2011. In contrast, a boy could expect good health for 63.3 years if born between 2011 and 2013, compared with 63.2 years from 2009 to 2011. This means that men now spend 80 per cent of their lives in good health, compared to 77 per cent for women. Overall life expectancy for women is 83.1 years, and men 79.4. However, the figures also show a major divide between north and south. Women are increasingly likely to spend much of their lives in demanding jobs, as well as bringing up children, according to the ONS . Newborn boys in the South East are likely to get 6.3 years longer in good health than those in the North East, and girls in the South East an extra 6.6 years. But women in the south are losing ground in terms of health expectancy much faster than those in the north, as health improves in the area. Commenting on the results, the ONS said: \u2018The health status and mortality rates of a population change year on year due to exposure to different risks and treatments affecting health, and also through inward and outward migration.\u2019 High levels of fitness in middle age can help men survive cancer, a study has found.

The 4ft (1.2 metre) tall robot features a screen that broadcasts a video of the teacher's face and a camera allows the teacher to see what is going on in the classroom . Thomas Fetch, a social studies teacher at Nexus Academy of Columbus is one of the first to trial the robot, controlling it from his computer more than 1,600 miles (2,570km) away in Arizona. In the past the school has had to rely upon video calling and conference call style lessons for its remote teachers. British academics have helped develop a robot, which is both a home help and a friend to older people who may be ill, trapped and alone. The Care-O-bot 3 is much more like a utilitarian household appliance than the action figures that featured in the futuristic film iRobot, starring Will Smith. And she - or he - is more likely to offer a Karaoke sing along and make a cup of coffee than go on a murderous rampage - or at least that is the idea. The robot is the result of a collaboration between British and European academics under the umbrella of Accompany - Acceptable Robotics Companions for Ageing Years. The hope is that it will help older people to stay in their homes and live an independent life, rather than being moved miles away from friends and family into an expensive care home. With the help of the $6,000 (\u00a34,000) Telepresence robot, however, Mr Fetch can trundle between the desks and look at pupils work as they are doing it.

They say indoor spaces could be the fastest growing biome, a word used to describe the different realms of life on Earth. Researchers estimate that the indoor biome makes up about 0.5 percent of ice-free land, or about 247,000 square miles, almost the size of Texas. The various organisms living in homes and other indoor spaces rarely has been researched, with sparse studies of rodents and German cockroaches, researchers say. A study of 40 houses in North Carolina used genomic technologies to document the inhabitants. It found more than 8,000 bacterial and archaeal taxa. Another study of 50 houses in the same state described more than 750 types of arthropods, including insects and spiders . An examination of 11 houses in California found a great variety of fungus among us. A review paper published March 19 in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution serves as a call for research in the emerging field of indoor biome ecology and evolution. The various organisms living in homes and other indoor spaces rarely has been researched, with sparse studies of rodents and German cockroaches, for example, from the pest management field, or public health perspectives on microbes. The paper came out of a 2013 workshop that included the evolutionary biology of the built environment, which included evolutionary, microbial and plant biologists, entomologists, architects, scientists who study better building design, and others. 'People have this picture that there are only a few insect species and microbial species eating human scrap,' said Laura Martin of Cornell, the paper's first author. 'But given the number of species found indoors, it is likely there's a lot more going on that we don't know about.' A study of 40 houses in North Carolina used genomic technologies to document more than 8,000 bacterial and archaeal taxa; another study of 50 houses in the same state described more than 750 types of arthropods, including insects and spiders; and an examination of 11 houses in California found a great variety of fungus among us. Researchers estimate that the indoor biome makes up about 0.5 percent of ice-free land, or about 247,000 square miles, almost the size of Texas. 'I've been noticing more species inside my house since I went to this working group,' Martin said, referring to the 2013 workshop. Co-author Robert Dunn, of North Carolina State University, discovered a species of parasitic wasp that lays its eggs inside cockroaches in his house. 'The radical diversity in abiotic environments, such as in water heaters, freezers and on kitchen counters, is vast and could parallel microclimates found on forest floors,' said Martin. The paper notes that the first human houses date back 20,000 years and that today's indoor environments most closely resemble caves.

Victory over Spurs ended a two-year mini-drought for Mourinho, having come through a difficult final season at Real Madrid before failing in all three cup competitions and finishing third in the Barclays Premier League with Chelsea last season. That was his longest stretch without a trophy while in constant employment as a manager - and Sunday marked his first cup final success in almost four years.

Location: The young girls forced into prostituon had fled Syrian warzones for what they had believed to be the safety of Ahmet Yumu\u015fak's native Hatay region in southern Turkey . Yumu\u015fak's alleged crimes came to light after local detectives launched an investigation into an attack by Islamic State militants on police officers in the Turkish town of Ni\u011fde in March last year. 11 people, including Yumu\u015fak, have already been charged in connection with that attack, according to Turkish newspaper H\u00fcrriyet.

+{"article": "NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens today revealed those working in the health service should 'practice what they preach' Overweight NHS staff will be told to take part in free slimming classes to shed the pounds, in order to set a better example to their patients, it has emerged. The drastic scheme could help 700,000 of NHS England's 1.3 million workforce, who currently struggle with their weight. In a drive to 'practice what we preach', the NHS will sign their employees up to one of three slimming classes, depending on the amount of weight they have to lose. Staff will be put on personal eating plans and be offered cognitive behavioural therapy to help reassess their relationship with food. NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens, who announced today's initiative, said: 'Today the NHS is starting to practice what we preach - helping our own staff get healthier and prevent illness. 'The 'h' in NHS stands for health, and that's going to require a far bigger emphasis on prevention.' It comes as Mr Stevens revealed tens of thousands of lives could be saved by a new initiative aimed at preventing people developing type 2 diabetes. The weight-loss pilot programme will initially be open to staff at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London. Porters, nurses, doctors and support workers have helped design the scheme. And there has reportedly been an overwhelming response from volunteers eager to sign up for the scheme. Duncan Selbie, chief executive of Public Health England, said: 'This is the first time this innovative approach to weight management has been piloted in the NHS. 'It is not just a weight-loss service but a comprehensive package of support, that includes eating better, being more active and improving self-esteem, which is tailored to the needs of NHS staff. 'By rolling out a public health scheme in our hospitals we are showing the nation that we are serious about tackling obesity and preventing life-threatening diseases.' Being obese and overweight can significantly increase a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes. As such, a large proportion of cases could be prevented. Trials in the US, Japan, China and India have shown 30 to 60 per cent reductions in cases over three years in adults at high risk, after intensive lifestyle changes were introduced. The new National NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, set to be unveiled by Mr Stevens at the Diabetes UK conference today, is set to run in line with the drive to improve the lifestyles of NHS employees. It is hoped the schemes will save lives as well as millions of pounds for the NHS by significantly reducing the four million people otherwise expected to develop type 2 diabetes in England by 2025. Mr Stevens revealed overweight NHS employees would be offered slimming classes to help shed pounds in a bid to set a better example for their patients (file image) England will be the first country to implement such a programme at scale, initially targeting up to 10,000 people at a high risk of type 2 diabetes followed by a national roll-out.", "summary": "Simon Stevens, NHS chief executive, revealed weight-loss scheme for staff .

Zawadi Mangidu, 22, was killed in north-western town of Geita by a group that included her husband, who is among those due to be executed. There is no guarantee the death penalties will ever actually be carried out, however, as the east African nation has had a moratorium on executions for the past 21 years. The conviction comes just days after Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete promised to end a wave of killings of albinos, saying the witchcraft-related murders are shaming Tanzania. Innocent victims: More than 40 albinos have been killed in Tanzania since 2007 - but the government insists it is taking action to end the murders . Activists say attackers have killed at least 75 albinos in Tanzania since 2000 to use their body parts in rituals. 'We will not allow things to escalate as they did in previous years,' Kikwete said in a national address on Monday. 'I believe that with close cooperation between the government and society, we will succeed in ending these killings of persons with albinism and rid our nation of this shame.' There are about 200,000 albinos in Tanzania, most of them easily recognisable as they lack pigment in their skin, eyes and hair. Witch doctors often tell clients that albino body parts will bring them luck in love, life and business. Similar beliefs exist in other African societies, but activists say attacks on albinos are particularly prevalent in Tanzania, where one in every 1,400 people is affected, compared with one in 20,000 in the Western world.

'More bodies of victims believed to have been swept by floods were found in the area and others died in hospital while receiving treatment,' he said, updating a previous death toll of 38. A statement from the office of President Jakaya Kikwete expressed his 'shock and extreme grief' at the disaster. Officials said an estimated 3,500 people in the region, a poor farming area south of Lake Victoria and near the Serengeti game reserve, had been affected by the flooding. 'It is a false belief that if someone has the body part of a person with albinism, this will bring success in business, fishing and mining activities. This is what has been fuelling this ongoing evil,' Kikwete said.

A father has claimed a lack of common sense is preventing his twin boys from starting school a year later because they were born in late August. Fraser McGruer\u2019s boys Alistair and Louis turned four last summer but they put off joining lessons because they were too young. Now they have been told that when they start school in September this year after reaching the legal age for compulsory education, they will have to go straight into Year One and not join reception classes with pupils just weeks younger than them. Mr McGruer claims Hertfordshire County Council is either \u2018unaware of or ignoring\u2019 government guidelines in which ministers make clear children\u2019s interests must come first. The Department for Education issued guidance to schools and councils in July 2013 and last December making it clear that there is no rule stating that a child has to be in the right school cohort for their age group. Summer-born children can wait until the September after their fifth birthday if their parents feel they need more time to develop. And it suggests delaying the start of school by 12 months should be 'no barrier' to the child then starting in reception class. Last Wednesday schools minister Nick Gibb backed parents who have called for their children to delay entering classroom, telling councils and headteachers to do 'what's in the best interests of the child'. But on the same day as Mr Gibb addressed MPs, Hertfordshire County Council wrote to the McGruer family to say Louis and Alistair would not be able to join the reception class in September. The brothers were born on August 22, 2010, some 11 weeks premature. They were due in November, which would have put them in the following school year starting in September 2015. Mr McGruer and his wife Karina, who also have a daughter Olivia, 6, have carried out their own research into summer born children and education start dates. Louis and Alistair both currently attend Flying Start Montessori Nursery, Sawbridgeworth. Two years ago they asked the council to delay the boys\u2019 start date for a year, but still in reception. But last week the request was rejected, and the boys have been told they must go into Year 1 in September 2015 or they risk losing a school place at Mandeville Primary School where they originally applied. They have since changed the application to Spellbrook Primary School in Bishop\u2019s Stortford. Mr McGruer told MailOnline: \u2018Academically and emotionally, the boys are nowhere near ready to start year one \u2013 they would effectively be a year younger than many of their classmates . \u2018We have produced large amounts of evidence from professionals involved in our children\u2019s lives, supporting our case, but the local authority has dismissed it.\u2019 The McGruers have been told they must start in Year One.

The robots are also equipped with rotating chests and surveillance cameras that record the flow of traffic and send real-time images to the police station.

But with the robot it will be different. We should respect the robot,' taxi driver Poro Zidane told AFP.

While they may not be as terrifying as the robocop in the science fiction action film (pictured), they have proven effective at combating traffic crime .

The TeleBot, created by students at Florida International University, will be able to do simple police tasks like handing out parking tickets. It is designed to be controlled remotely, and its multiple sensors and cameras mean its operator can use it to patrol the streets from anywhere. 'We want to use telebots to give disabled military and police veterans an opportunity to serve in law enforcement,' explained Jeremy Robins, who is funding the project. 'With TeleBots, a disabled police officer will be capable of performing many, if not most, of the functions of a normal patrol officer - interacting with the community, patrolling, responding to 911 calls, issuing citations.' The robot, which is about six feet tall, gets around on wheels and has three HD cameras, giving it full 360 degree vision. It also boasts cameras that point at the ground, which stops it from running into people, and its face will have an 'emotive display'", "summary": "Each hand is fitted with green and red lights that regulate flow of traffic .

A fortnight ago the Chiefs saw off the Tigers in a thrilling LV= Cup semi-final and the teams met again at Welford Road in the Aviva Premiership, with the hosts hoping for a different outcome having lost just once in front of their own fans this season. And despite former Tiger Thomas Waldrom and Will Chudley going over for the Chiefs, the home side were celebrating as Burns kicked 20 points and Parling crossed the whitewash, with Leicester climbing above Exeter in the table in the process. Geoff Parling's second-half try helped Leicester Tigers beat Exeter Chiefs on Saturday . Parling (right) celebrates with team-mate Sebastian de Chaves following his try . Exeter had the first chance of the match from a penalty in the fourth minute when Leicester were caught offside with Henry Slade electing to kick from his own half with the wind behind him, however he put the chance wide. Barely three minutes later, Slade again missed a penalty after Leicester's Miles Benjamin had failed to move out of the way and the Tigers made them pay with Burns putting a penalty of their own away to give the Tigers the lead. With high balls causing havoc in the swirling wind and handling errors from Exeter, Burns then added a second penalty for Leicester on 18 minutes to double the home side's lead. Exeter finally got on the board in the 23nd minute with Slade this time successful with a kick from his own half. In the 36th minute the Tigers regained their six-point lead after Exeter failed to roll away after an excellent break from Benjamin, with Burns making no mistake again from the tee. It came at a price though with Benjamin leaving the field injured, replaced by Vereniki Goneva. The Tigers almost had the first try of the game on the stroke of half-time after another breakaway, but had to make do with a fourth penalty from Burns as Leicester went into the break with a 12-3 lead.

Exeter swiftly made changes with the hope of getting back into the game with Ben Moon, Ben White and Tom James coming on.

A report from the House of Commons Transport Committee said the success of the UK's smaller airports are being held back by the existence of the APD, one of the world's heftiest departure taxes. The MPs said that Northern Ireland was suffering in terms of jobs, growth and connectivity as aviation taxes were higher than in the Republic of Ireland. And when APD is charged at both ends of a trip the tax 'incentivises airlines and passengers to fly from airports located in other EU member states', said the MP's report. The Scottish Government's plans to abolish the airport passenger duty could harm England's airports . The Scottish Government wants to reduce APD by 50 per cent in the next term of the Scottish Parliament and eventually get rid of it altogether in a bid to win the country's airports a 'competitive advantage'. However, there is no such commitment to axing APD in the rest of the UK, despite a decision by the Chancellor to abolish APD payments on children's tickets back in December. A spokesman for the campaign A Fair Tax on Flying, Stephen D'Alfonso, welcomed the report and called on the rest of the UK to follow Scotland's lead. 'We welcome the Transport Committee's report highlighting the detrimental effect that APD has on smaller airports, and the Committee's recognition that a lower level of APD in Scotland will have a negative effect on the rest of the UK,' Mr D'Alfonso said. 'With UK passengers currently paying one of the highest rates of tax on flying anywhere in the world, it is not surprising that the Scottish Government is committed to cutting this damaging tax. However, a cut in APD in Scotland needs to be matched by a cut in APD across the rest of the UK, so that no part of the country is disadvantaged in any way.' A report from the House of Commons Transport Committee said the success of the UK's smaller airports are being held back by the departure tax, which is one of the largest in the world . The report warned that if APD is scrapped in Scotland - the wheels are already in motion with the tax being devolved to Holyrood - 'airports in England would be subject to a similar competitive disadvantage to that currently experienced in Northern Ireland'. \u00a326 per ticket to Europe . \u00a369 per ticket to US, Canada, North and West Africa . \u00a397 per ticket to Australia, Singapore and Indonesia .

Some academics say such cheating is on the increase because schools are under huge pressure to improve their national league table positions. In one extreme case last year, unconnected to the new report, the entire governing body of a school was dissolved and eight members of staff were suspended over allegations of exam irregularities, although five have since been reinstated. The examples of cheating are contained in guidance to exam boards about how to deal with 'malpractice' in this summer's A-level and GCSE exams, published by umbrella body the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). Examples included: . - A timetable clash that meant several candidates sat an A-level English Literature paper in the morning when it was officially scheduled for the afternoon, allowing a teacher to enter the exam hall, look at the paper and pass information to candidates taking the test later; . - A member of staff who was in the exam room during a GCSE Geography paper suggesting possible answers to pupils when they raised their hands; . - A number of candidates who admitted they had been given information about a confidential GCSE English question papers by the head of the exam centre; . - A teacher who had made additions in pencil to a number of supposedly completed 'high level, controlled' science assessments and returned the answers to the pupils so they could make corrections, which they did in different coloured pens; . - A teacher conducting a GCSE Italian speaking test who was heard on the official recording whispering words in Italian to the candidate and, presumably in an attempt to hide the cheating, pausing the recorder a number of times, in breach of the rules.

+{"article": "Jailed: Matthew Parkhouse was sentenced to 20 months in prison for stealing money from customer accounts while working at a Natwest call centre . A bank worker who stole a fortune from elderly customers after taking their account details over the phone was caught out when his own account rocketed from \u00a38 to \u00a336,000. NatWest telephone advisor Matthew Parkhouse asked a string of account holders for the security digits on the backs of their cards when he didn't need them for legitimate banking purposes. He secretly noted the numbers down and then used them to make payments of thousands into a business account he held. Had the scam succeeded, Parkhouse would have got away with over \u00a350,000 - instead he has been jailed for 20 months. Manchester Crown Court heard how he was employed at the bank\u2019s call centre in Manchester between April 2012 and March 2014 - where he was responsible for dealing with customer accounts queries over the phone . He was rumbled in December 2013 after his own bank - Barclays - became suspicious that his savings had shot up. Parkhouse, 30, of Hulme, Manchester had set up the Barclays account in the name of 'Megabyte Software', two months before he began the frauds. Prosecutor Lindsay Thomas said: 'It transpired that part of that agreement with Barclays involved allowing customers to process card payments without them being present - so long as all the card details, including the three digits on the back of the card - were presented.' When Barclays examined the transactions they found out they had come from six different bank cards - all issued to NatWest, where Parkhouse worked. Two days after Barclays first became suspicious, Parkhouse went into the Stockport branch of Barclays and withdrew \u00a36,000 in cash. Parkhouse blamed another 'rogue' employee for the frauds when quizzed by bosses, but he was the only member of staff to have accessed all six of the victims' accounts and transcripts revealed he had asked for their security digits. Fraudulent activity: The 30-year-old was employed at the bank\u2019s call centre in Manchester between April 2012 and March 2014 and would ask account holders for their three digit security pin without a legitimate reason . He later admitted six fraud charges and one charge of converting criminal property. Kate Harney, defending, said the offence had 'naive' characteristics, adding: 'This is a young man who set up a business account in his own name, to his own address, and there was a very clear audit trail within the bank. 'This is not a young man who had thought this through.'

+{"article": "If you don't possess Piers Morgan's interrogation skills, making someone laugh may encourage them to spill their secrets. Researchers claim that sharing a few chuckles makes people more willing to tell others something personal about themselves, without necessarily being aware that they are doing so. The act of verbally opening up to someone is a crucial building block that helps to form new relationships and intensify social bonds. Laughing with a stranger (illustrated with a stock image) makes us more likely to open up and tell others something personal about ourselves, which encourages bonds of friendship, a new study claims . Such self-disclosure can be of a highly sensitive nature - like sharing one's religious convictions or personal fears - or a superficial scrap of information such as a favourite type of food. Alan Gray of University College London (UCL) set out to investigate the role and influence of laughter in this disclosure process. Together with his colleagues, he observed the behaviour of 112 students from Oxford University, who did not known each other and were divided into groups of four. They watched a 10-minute video together, without chatting to one another. The videos were designed to invoke different amounts of laughter as well as the amount of positive feelings or emotions they elicited. Participants watched different videos including a clip of comedian Michael MacIntyre (pictured) to encourage them to laugh . One, for example, featured a stand-up comedy routine by Michael McIntyre, while another was a golf instruction video and a third, an excerpt from a nature documentary. After the volunteers watched the chosen video, the levels of laughter and their emotional state was measured. Each group member also had to write a message to another participant to help them get to know each other better. The researchers found that participants who had a good laugh together shared significantly more intimate information than the groups who did not watch the comedy routine. Mr Gray suggests this is not merely because it is a positive experience, but because of the physiology behind laughter, which triggers the release of the so-called \u2018happy hormone\u2019 endorphin. The findings, published in Springer's journal Human Nature, support the idea that laughter encourages people to make more intimate disclosures to strangers. Scientists believe that the person who disclosed information, was seldom aware of what they had done, and it was only the listener who realised it had happened. \u2018This seems to be in line with the notion that laughter is linked specifically to fostering behaviors that encourage relationship development, since observer ratings of disclosure may be more important for relationship development than how much one feels one is disclosing,\u2019 Mr Gray said. \u2018These results suggest that laughter should be a serious topic for those interested in the development of social relationships.\u2019 A recent study has revealed that playfulness comes high on the list of desirable attributes in a long-term partner.

+{"article": "As romantic comedy Pretty Woman celebrates its 25-year anniversary this week, the film's scriptwriter has revealed that the iconic fairy-tale ending could have been very different. The 1990 film, which is set in Los Angeles, sees Julia Roberts as Vivian, a down-on-her-luck prostitute who agrees to become a one-week escort for wealthy businessman, Edward Lewis, played by Richard Gere. The much-loved movie ends with the improbable pair going off in the sunset together - yet the original ending was more realistic and was intended to reflect his story's 'dark and gritty' tone. Scroll down for video . The iconic necklace scene may have remained, but Pretty Woman was originally titled $3,000 and had an ending where the lead characters, Vivian and Edward, do not end up together . Edward and Vivian's clumsy-but-cute first-meet on Hollywood Boulevard never happens either. In the original script, Edward is seen to patrol around intentionally looking for a prostitute . American screenwriter J.F. Lawton, who penned the original script, which was called $3000 for the amount Edward agrees to pay Vivian for a week of her company, revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that: 'The tone and ending are completely different.' Most notably, in Lawton's original script Vivian and Edward do not find true love together. Indeed, Pretty Woman's Cinderella ending that sees Edward as a modern-day knight in shining armour, who 'rescues' Vivian from her apartment block would have been completely different. Instead, Lawton says: 'The film ends with Kit [Vivian's prostitute friend] and Vivian on a bus bound for Disneyland... with Kit anticipating a fun day financed by Vivian's week with Edward, as Vivian 'stares out emptily ahead.'' This dismal ending was just one of the many changes that happened. Lawton's script also portrayed Vivian as a drug addict and the six pages include focus on her locking down a deal to buy crack cocaine. The original script dictates that Pretty Woman ends with Vivian and Kit on a bus bound for Disneyland as Vivian 'stares out emptily ahead'. There is no 'knight in shining armour' scene for Vivian (pictured) In the original script, Vivian is a helpless drug addict that must use prostitution to fund her crack addiction . Upon clocking the original script, even Julia Roberts described it as, 'a really dark and depressing, horrible, terrible story about two horrible people. She said: 'My character was this drug addict, a bad-tempered, foulmouthed, ill-humored, poorly educated hooker who had this weeklong experience with a foulmouthed, ill-tempered, bad-humored, very wealthy, handsome but horrible man and it was just a grisly, ugly story about these two people.' The lead characters' adorable meeting on Hollywood boulevard is no romantic affair either. The film's version portrays Edward comically and clumsily unable to drive his borrowed sports' car and stopping to ask for directions from a chirpy Vivian, who thinks he's a potential customer.

A lower-court federal judge threw out the case in December, brought by Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. His lawyer, conservative firebrand Larry Klayman, told reporters outside the courtroom after he pleaded his case that 'we have serious issues of constitutionality involved.' Arpaio claims the White House's plan to mainstream more than 5 million illegal immigrants is clearly unconstitutional. Lawsuit: Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has a date with a federal appeals court, which will re-hear his legal challenge against President Barack Obama's controversial immigration executive actions . Larry Klayman of the conservative nonprofit Freedom Watch represents Arpaio's sheriff's office, and wants an injunction to stop Obama from granting legal status to millions of illegal immigrants . Obama plans to give them Social Security numbers, residency cards and work permits, even though they snuck into the United States illegally. The lawsuit argues that the policy changes, made without approval from the Republican-dominated Congress, amount to an amnesty and will encourage more people to cross the border. Last month a Texas judge ordered the Obama administration to halt its implementation of the plan, saying it would be impossible to roll back the action if a higher court ruled that it violates the U.S. Constitution. Last week, the Department of Justice requested an emergency stay to put that decision on hold so the Homeland Security Department could move ahead. Arpaio, a colorful and polarizing figure, is known for his 'tent city' jail where inmates brave the elements are are forced to wear pink underwear and clothing. Some of his deputies also use pink handcuffs while on duty in the jails. He has employed 'chain gangs' to force inmates to work outside his facilities. And he once put inmates on a bread and water diet for desecrating an American flag. Arpaio also famously claimed in 2012 that President Obama's birth certificate was 'fraudulent.' The administration has been busily fending off a handful of legal actions . designed to stop it from guaranteeing that millions of illegal immigrants could live in the U.S. with a guarantee that they won't be deported. Arpaio's suit is the first to reach the level of a federal appeals court, the final step before a possible Supreme Court review. Beryl Howell, the U.S. District Court judge who tossed his legal action late last year, was nominated to the federal bench by Obama in 2010. She ruled that the sheriff lacked legal standing to challenge Obama's immigration program, and it should be tackled in Congress. But Klayman, the attorney, had argued that the president's plan would burden U.S. law enforcement as more illegal immigrants enter the country and commit crimes. 'It's not policy,' Klayman said in December. 'He's creating law and he cannot do that under the U.S. Constitution.' Inspired by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, other law enforcement agencies are now forcing inmates to wear pink; these jailed men are in", "summary": "Court of appeals in Washington, DC will hear the case in May, the last stop on a journey that may end in the Supreme Court .

The Gunners kept up the heat on leaders Chelsea and second-placed City on Saturday evening following their hard-fought 2-1 victory at Newcastle. Two seasons ago, Arsene Wenger's men responded to their Champions League exit by putting together a run of eight wins and two draws in their final 10 league games and, having succumbed to Monaco last Tuesday evening, Giroud is looking for a similar surge towards the finishing line. Francis Coquelin (left) and Calum Chambers (right) congratulate Olivier Giroud after his second goal .

The victory at St James' Park extended Arsenal's winning league run to six games and, while it looked as though it would arrive in routine style after Giroud's first-half double, they were ultimately grateful for the excellence of goalkeeper David Ospina, who produced a series of second-half saves to keep the resurgent Magpies at bay. Giroud opened the scoring with 24 minutes gone when he bundled home Danny Welbeck's flick-on from a Santi Cazorla free-kick and he extended the lead just four minutes later when he made the most of some insipid defending to head Cazorla's corner past Tim Krul. However, Moussa Sissoko reduced the deficit within three minutes of the restart when he swept home Remy Cabella's cross and, had Ospina not managed to beat away a Mike Williamson header and Ayoze Perez's deflected 87th-minute shot, the home side would have emerged with a point.

Scientists claim to have be close to engineering a GM \u2018super spud\u2019 which is healthier to eat, cheaper to grow and better for the environment. A stock image of non GM potatoes is pictured .

It means that although British researchers are leading the way in developing GM technology, the end results are usually snapped up by foreign firms. Professor Jones said GM \u2018has been shown to be safe\u2019, and before the potato could be sold, it would need extensive testing and authorisation from EU bodies such as the European Food Safety", "summary": "British team has agreed government funding to develop a GM potato .

Dr Peil's other prominent patients include Nico Rosberg and Tibetan spiritual leader The Dalai Lama. Money, some perfume and prescription forms were also stolen. Last year, a helicopter rescue worker who treated Schumacher hanged himself in a Zurich jail cell after being arrested for stealing details of his condition which he tried to sell to news organisations. Schumacher spent months in a coma following the accident before being transferred to a rehab clinic in Lausanne, Switzerland. He was then moved to a medical suite built into his mansion in September.

Since then, a news blackout has fallen over his condition, but insiders report he remains mute and unable to move. Last month, it was revealed that Schumacher had sold his Norwegian mountain holiday home for \u00a32million as he continues to recover from his horrific ski injuries. The sale of the retreat, in Trysil, north of Oslo, comes after it emerged last year that his family was planning to build a \u00a310million 'hospital' room for the star at their home in Switzerland. Schumacher, a very competent skier, was holidaying with family and friends in Meribel, France, where he owns a chalet when the accident happened in December 2013. He was skiing with his 14-year-old son on a red piste, which is classed for intermediate skiers.

The company has revealed it is developing eye-tracking technology that will automatically adjust the direction and intensity of headlights to match the driver's gaze. The system uses an in-car camera that focuses on the drivers head with infrared sensors to detect movement and calculate the motorist's line of sight. Vauxhall's new eye-tracking system will direct the car headlights in the direction that the motorist is looking. The system uses a central camera and peripheral infrared sensors that scan the driver's eyes more than 50 times per second in dusk and night-time conditions . Vauxhall - which sells its vehicles under the brand Opel in some countries and is owned by General Motors - insists that the technology will automatically compensate should a driver be distracted or look away from the road. The company added it is still currently developing the system but hopes to introduce it to vehicles as its third-generation of intelligent lighting systems in the coming years. The system uses a central camera and peripheral infrared sensors that scan the driver's eyes more than 50 times per second in dusk and night-time conditions. The headlights adjust to match the driver's gaze both vertically and horizontally. Even if the driver is momentarily distracted and takes their eyes of the road, the lights will continue illuminating in the direction of travel. This will be combined with sensors outside the car that will detect daylight levels, turning on the headlights automatically when the vehicle enters a tunnel. Vauxhall said the lights will also adjust to different road and weather conditions. A forward-facing camera mounted behind the rear-view mirror can also detect the proximity of headlamps or rear lights of other vehicles. This allows the vehicle to automatically adjust the beam to preventing dazzling other users by reducing the intensity of the beam. A matrix of LEDs in the headlights additionally mean that parts of the headlight closest to oncoming traffic can be deactivated when passing other vehicles, while keeping the rest of the road illuminated.

The Hollywood star, who was rushed to hospital after crashing a vintage plane in Venice, California on Thursday, also slammed a helicopter into a riverbed back in 1999. It is not believed that Ford, 72, is to blame for his latest - and what is his third - aviation incident at Penmar Golf Course near Santa Monica Municipal Airport, with early reports suggesting engine failure is at fault. But an official report into Ford's October 1999 accident, obtained by Daily Mail Online, reveals it was caused by 'the pilot's delay in adding power during a power-on recovery'. Ford had flown the helicopter from Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles 45 miles northwest towards Santa Clarita when he hit trouble. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Full recovery: Ford was rushed from the scene bleeding heavily from a head wound, his injuries were described only as 'moderate' and he is expected to recover fully. Pictured, an aerial view of the crash . Rescue: Harrison Ford is treated at the scene of his crash in Venice, California, yesterday . The pilot was practicing autorotations to a power-on recovery. When he attempted to recover the power, the engine did not respond as quickly as anticipated and the helicopter landed hard, hitting on the rear heels of both skids. The flight instructor said that when he saw the pilot was late adding power, he attempted to correct the situation but was unsuccessful. The surface of the dry riverbed was mostly soft sand. The left skid heel contacted a log that was embedded in the sand and the helicopter pitched forward onto the skid toes and rolled over onto its left side. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: .

The flight instructor's inadequate supervision of the flight was also causal. Source: NTSB . Ford was practicing 'auto rotations' - an emergency landing technique that simulates engine failure. He had completed one 'auto-rotation' but on his second he was 'late bringing in the power', according to the documents. As a result, when Ford attempted to recover, the helicopter engine did not respond quickly enough and the aircraft began plummeting to the ground. The unidentified flying instructor who was aboard with the actor was forced to take over the controls and try to level the helicopter but he was unable to do so and the aircraft came crashing down into the Lake Piru riverbed near Santa Clarita and flipped over. Luckily Ford, and the unnamed instructor, were unharmed in the crash but the helicopter was 'substantially damaged', according to the document.

Jupiter-orbiting moon Ganymede has an ocean beneath its icy . surface, raising the prospects for life, Nasa has revealed. The finding resolves a mystery about the largest moon in the . solar system after NASA's now-defunct Galileo spacecraft . provided hints that Ganymede has a subsurface ocean during . exploration of Jupiter and its moons from 1995 to 2003. Scientists told reporters on a conference call that it took . some detective work to confirm the discovery. In this artist\u2019s concept, the moon Ganymede orbits the giant planet Jupiter. A saline ocean under the moon\u2019s icy crust best explains shifting in the auroral belts measured by Hubble. Scientists first suspected an ocean in Ganymede in the 1970s, based on models of the large moon. NASA's Galileo mission measured Ganymede's magnetic field in 2002, providing the first evidence supporting those suspicions. The Galileo spacecraft took brief 'snapshot' measurements of the magnetic field in 20-minute intervals, but its observations were too brief to distinctly catch the cyclical rocking of the ocean's secondary magnetic field. Like Earth, Ganymede has a liquid iron core that generates a . magnetic field, though Ganymede's field is embedded within . Jupiter's magnetic field. That sets up an interesting dynamic . with telltale visuals - twin bands of glowing aurora around . Ganymede's northern and southern polar regions. As Jupiter rotates, its magnetic field shifts, causing . Ganymede's aurora to rock. Scientists measured the motion and . found it fell short. Using computer models, they realized that a . salty, electrically conductive ocean beneath the moon's surface . was counteracting Jupiter's magnetic pull. 'Jupiter is like a lighthouse whose magnetic field changes . with the rotation of the lighthouse. It influences the aurora,' said geophysicist Joachim Saur, with the University of Cologne . in Germany. 'With the ocean, the rocking is significantly . reduced.' Scientists ran more than 100 computer models to see if . anything else could be having an impact on Ganymede's aurora. They also repeated the seven-hour, ultraviolet Hubble . observations and analyzed data for both belts of aurora. 'This gives us confidence in the measurement,' Saur said. NASA Associate Administrator Jim Green called the finding . 'an astounding demonstration.' 'They developed new approach to look inside a planetary body . with a telescope,' Green said. Ganymede joins a growing list of moons in the outer solar . system with subsurface water. On Wednesday, scientists reported . that Saturn's moon Enceladus has hot springs beneath its icy . crust. Other water-rich worlds include Jupiter moons Europa and . Callisto. NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of Ganymede's auroral belts (colored blue in this illustration) are overlaid on a Galileo orbiter image of the moon. The amount of rocking of the moon's magnetic field suggests that the moon has a subsurface saltwater ocean.

An annual report by the industry tracker Beverage Digest found that overall soda volume slipped 0.9 percent last year, moderating from the decline of 3 percent the previous year. And the poor performance of diet sodas in particular led to a shake-up in the top 10 U.S. soda rankings; even though people bought less Pepsi, it managed to regain the No. 2 spot from Diet Coke, which suffered an even steeper decline. Diet Coke had knocked Pepsi off the No. 2 spot in 2010. Not flying off the shelves: . U.S. soda volume declined for the tenth straight year in 2014, with diet sodas faring worse than their regular counterparts . Coke remained by far the most popular soda in the U.S., selling about twice as much as No. 2 Pepsi. John Sicher, publisher of Beverage Digest, attributed the moderation in soda's decline in 2014 to the continued growth of energy drinks. He also noted that Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo and Dr Pepper Snapple Group have improved marketing for their soda brands. Soda volume has been declining in the U.S. since 2004 amid concerns that sugary drinks fuel weight gain, and a proliferation of alternatives in the beverage aisle. More recently, industry executives have attributed an accelerating decline of diet sodas to concerns over artificial sweeteners like aspartame. The American Beverage Association, which represents Coke, Pepsi and others, is trying to address the shift away from diet sodas in part by funding studies showing the benefits of the drinks. Despite the ongoing decline of soda volume, the broader U.S. beverage industry performed better than in the previous year with growth of 1.7 percent, according to Beverage Digest. That increase was driven by an increase in bottled water sales.

It's long been the belief that rainy days have a dampening effect on people's moods.

The research, which also found that people dislike their jobs more when the sun is shining, will come as a surprise to most weather-obsessed Brits. The study was conducted by Franz Buscha, principal research fellow at the University of Westminster, who monitored weather records with people's happiness. Mr Buscha merged daily weather data from the UK Met Office with individual level wellbeing data culled from the British Household Panel Survey between 1991 and 2008 and found no evidence that the often assumed relationship between sunshine and happiness existed. Speaking to the MailOnline today, he said: 'I found it quite surprising that nobody had done any work on this in the UK. 'I always hear people talk about the weather and that they are happy that the day is sunny instead of cloudy. I myself am one of such people! 'I decided to take a look and my initial assumption was that there would be an effect and quite a strong one. Good weather equals better mood. 'However, this didn't turn out to be true. There are some weak effects in a naive correlation framework but when we go to a more complex multivariate framework (i.e. we control for certain factors such as age, sex, location, etc) all this disappears.

Creativity: Children could benefit from getting a bit bored, rather than being constantly entertained . To prove her theory, Dr Mann gave 80 adults two polystyrene cups and asked them to come up with as many uses for them as possible. Half of the men and women got straight to work.

For long-suffering Sunderland supporters the photograph of the \u00a340,000-a-week Scottish international and his 217mph Lamborghini Aventador was a blatant own goal \u2013 and they were not slow to put the boot in.

Asperger's syndrome and other disorders on the autism spectrum often make it hard for sufferers to recognise mainstream social cues and form friendships. But new research shows dogs can provide love, empathy and companionship that is hard for autism sufferers to recognise, and help kids like Jason Freeman, 11, make connections with the world. 'He is like a therapist, a very furry therapist,' said Jason's mum, Tanya Freeman. Scroll down for video .

Brock is a Golden Retriever who was specially trained by Assistance Dogs Australia to give kids like Jason the love, empathy and companionship that they wouldn't normally get from their peers. New research has revealed children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can benefit from animal-assisted activities. This means having a dog like Brock around can help improve the social skills of autistic children.. Assistance dogs have been proven to increase independence, reduce reliance on human caregivers and act as a great ice-breaker helping overcome social isolation. Around 230,000 Australians are estimated to have disorders on the autism spectrum like Asperger's, and as a result will struggle to understand normal social cues and body language, making it far more difficult to form friendships. Assistance Dogs Australia currently support 55 families with autistic children across Australia and while you might instantly think of assistance dogs performing physical tasks, Ms Freeman said Brock's role is far more related to emotional support. 'If Jason comes home from school and he is a bit anxious or everything feels a bit too much for him, Brock will be right there with him.' 'Jason doesn't have the ability to read others or really have a real grasp on what people are thinking from body language which is something people really take for granted,' she said. Assistance Dogs Australia paired Brock and Jason in 2012 and since then they have formed a special bond . Ms Freeman said Jason's first few years of school were really tough on him. He didn't have the chance to make many real friends and would sometimes come home in tears. 'Having a connection with others is hard for him but it's harder to see him not having the friendships that a lot of other kids do.' This was until Jason met Brock. She said once Brock came into their lives 'everything changed'. Brock and Jason had an' immediate connection' and it didn't take long for Brock to become 'part of the family'. 'If Jason comes home from school and he is a bit anxious or everything feels a bit too much for him, Brock will be right there with him. 'He puts his paw up on his legs and just makes him feel like everything is alright,' she added.

The Centre for Policy Studies paper concludes that the rush for renewable energy has been the \u2018most expensive policy disaster in modern British history\u2019. Shifting to wind and solar power have hugely increased costs to consumers, while creating an energy supply that is \u2018intermittent\u2019. As a result, huge additional investment has been required in backup capacity to cover for when the wind isn\u2019t blowing and the sun isn\u2019t shining. Shifting to wind and solar power have hugely increased costs to consumers, while creating an energy supply that is \u2018intermittent\u2019 (file picture) And billions more have been spent to connect remote wind farms to the national grid. Author Rupert Darwall concludes that, astonishingly, no British government has conducted a rigorous analysis of the costs and benefits of the renewables target which was first negotiated by Tony Blair at the European Council in 2007. The Government is committed to providing 15 per cent of its energy from renewable power by 2020. Mr Darwall, the author of The Age of Global Warming, concludes that the annual costs of the renewables target is a staggering \u00a39billion. Switching back to a free market in power would save households around \u00a3214 a year, assuming that gas replaces renewables, he says. The report says: \u2018Energy policy represents the biggest expansion of state power since the nationalisations of the 1940s and 1950s. It is on course to be the most expensive domestic policy disaster in modern British history. \u2018By committing the nation to high, cost, unreliable renewable energy, its consequences will be felt for decades.\u2019 \u2018In addition to their higher plant-level costs, renewables require massive amounts of extra generating capacity to provide cover for intermittent generation when the wind doesn\u2019t blow and the sun doesn\u2019t shine.\u2019 The report concludes that the costs of \u2018intermittent renewables\u2019 have been \u2018massively understated\u2019.

More than seven in 10 people in the UK were no longer in poverty after finding work, compared to the EU average of just half. Ministers said the figures showed Britain was leading the way in proving that work is the best route out of being poor. Seven in 10 people in the UK were no longer classed as poor after finding work, compared to the EU average of just half . In work poverty rates have been lower in the UK than the EU average every year since 2006, the figures show . The Office for National Statistics examined figures for every European country to analyse the impact getting a job can have on people classed as poor. It found gaining employment helped far more people out of poverty than the rest of the continent. Someone is classed as living in poverty if their disposable income is less than 60 per cent of the national average. People living in 'in-work poverty' are both below the poverty threshold and in employment themselves. For the EU as a whole, only half of people (49 per cent) left poverty when they got a job in 2009, according to analysis carried out by the European Commission. Detailed figures by country suggest the UK has a higher poverty exit rate for people getting a job than almost any other country examined. The ONS said: 'The percentage of people who moved out of poverty when entering employment in the UK was relatively stable and well above the EU average throughout the period 2007 to 2012, with an exit rate of 68 per cent in 2007 to 2009, compared with 73 per cent in 2010 to 2012.' By contrast, the poverty exit rate was lowest in Romania just 23 per cent of people left poverty after getting a job. In Bulgaria just 36 per cent were lifted out of poverty and Spain 37 per cent. In Sweden the figure was 70 per cent, followed by Portugal (66 per cent), Lithuania (64 per cent) and Luxembourg and Estonia, both 62 per cent. The Tories have argued that the introduction of Universal Credit, which combines six benefits into one, will ensure that work always pays and is guaranteed to lift people out of poverty if they get a job. Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said the research showed work is the best route out of poverty . Increasing hours and getting a pay rise were key routes to moving out of in work poverty, the ONS said . Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said: 'Our welfare reforms are designed to support people to move off benefits and into a job - to move from dependence to independence.

Police focused on Durst's handwriting 14 years ago, after a note in an envelope tipped them off to Berman's death. But a document examiner wrongly concluded that the handwriting did not match Durst's. Scroll down for video . Accused: Robert Durst was arrested after he seemed to give himself away during a taped interview for an HBO documentary investigating his possible links to three killings . Evidence: The handwriting on this notorious note that tipped off police was eventually matched to Durst . Missed: The handwriting was initially thought to belong to somebody else after LAPD analysts made errors in their assessment . Match: Eventually, the writing was compared against samples of Durst's writing and the similarities were found to be striking . Sinister: Robert Durst is escorted into Orleans Parish Prison after his arrest. He escaped police attention for years, partially due to a failed handwriting analysis 14 years ago . Writing on the note and envelope, which was written in block lettering, misspelled 'Beverley Hills Police' and included the word 'cadaver' along with Berman's Beverly Hills address. In 2001, Los Angeles Police Department document examiner William Leaver concluded it was 'highly probable' that it was written by Nyle Brenner, Berman's manager and friend. The assessment was 'rubber stamped' by Leaver's supervisor, who told detectives in September that she had not backed the findings up with an independent technical review. Investigators had initially failed to analyze examples of Durst's handwriting, and it wasn't until eight months later that a comparison was made. Leaver said 'similarities' were enough to request more writing samples, which police eventually obtained. In June 2003, Leaver revised his assessment to conclude that the handwriting was likely Durst's. The conflicting analyses meant that valuable time lost. By then, Durst had been charged in Texas with the murder and dismemberment of Morris Black. Investigation: Law enforcement officers stand outside the Robert Durst's Houston home . Forensic: Durst himself may have implicated the property in a recording made while talking to himself after a tense interview for the HBO series .

Siem, chasing a spot at next month's Masters, shot a round of 68 to stay in contention for the title in Morocco . Saddier, who was one shot off the lead before the final round of the Madeira Islands Open was cancelled due to bad weather on Sunday, made the most of his sponsor's invite to card a flawless 65. The 22-year-old chipped in on the first for an eagle and repeated the trick on the sixth for the first of his five birdies to finish one shot ahead of England's Daniel Gaunt, who carded seven birdies and a solitary bogey on the 18th. Coetzee shared third place with Scotland's David Drysdale and England's Chris Wood, with Siem a shot further back after five birdies, an eagle and three bogeys in his round. Starting from the 10th, Coetzee - who won the Tshwane Open on his home course in Pretoria a fortnight ago - birdied his first two holes and also picked up shots on the 16th and 17th to reach the turn in 32. George Coetzee carded 67 on Thursday to remain near the top of the leaderboard in Morocco . Further birdies on the first and seventh took Coetzee to six under, but the 28-year-old ran up a double bogey on the next after his tee shot rolled back off the green and his first chip caught the same slope and came back to his feet. However, the world number 69 made amends with a birdie from 20 feet on the ninth, just minutes after Siem had holed from an almost identical position.

Austen Harrison, of Turners Hill, West Sussex, was playing with a heavy fitting-room mirror while his father tried on a suit at a Hugo Boss shop when it toppled over and crushed him. He underwent an emergency operation to relieve pressure on his brain following the incident in Oxfordshire, but died four days later in hospital after life-support was switched off.

+{"article": "Paul Gambaccini: No charges were brought . Men accused of rape and other sex crimes should remain anonymous until they are charged, MPs demand today. They have urged a shake-up of the law after several high-profile figures were arrested and named, only to see their cases dropped. Last year, BBC Radio 2 DJ Paul Gambaccini told of the \u201812 months of horror and trauma\u2019 he suffered after his name was dragged through the mud following sexual assault accusations. Police eventually told him he would not be charged. In January, Tory MP Mark Pritchard called for those accused of rape to be allowed anonymity until they are charged after an accusation against him was dropped by police. But critics warned the move risked reducing the chance of serial rapists being convicted, and could endanger women who do not know a man has been accused of rape. They said that if predatory paedophiles such as Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall had been granted anonymity as suspects, other victims may not have come forward to help convict them. Lifelong anonymity is granted to anyone who complains to police that they have been sexually assaulted. In May 2010, the Coalition vowed to reintroduce anonymity for rape suspects after it was dropped in 1988. But ministers faced huge opposition to the idea and axed it. In a report today, the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee warned that a man accused of rape can suffer irreparable damage to his life, even if charges are never brought. It concluded that because of the stigma attached to rape accusations, it was unacceptable for suspects to have their identities publicised before they were charged. The MPs face being accused of trying to curb the freedom of the Press by calling for zero tolerance of police who confirm the names of suspects to journalists other than in \u2018exceptional cases\u2019 \u2013 such as public safety. Chairman Keith Vaz said: \u2018Suspects deserve to remain anonymous until charged. Police use of the \u201cflypaper\u201d practice of arresting someone, leaking the details then endlessly re-bailing them in the vague hope that other people come forward is unacceptable and must come to an end. Critics say other victims may not have come forward if predatory paedophiles such as Rolf Harris, pictured left, and Stuart Hall, pictured right, had been granted anonimity . \u2018It is inexcusable that information about suspects is released to the media in an unattributed way. We have seen how destructive this can be to a person\u2019s livelihood, causing irreparable reputational damage and enormous financial burden.\u2019 The committee also said police bail should be capped initially at 28 days to end the scandal of officers leaving suspects to languish in legal limbo, sometimes for years. Around 303,000 suspects a year are given police bail while officers investigate a crime. Around 19,600 were bailed for more than six months \u2013 often with curbs on their freedom.

The memories will come flooding back of his five cup finals as an Ibrox midfielder that ended with the Ibrox players being showered in champagne and drenched in adulation. There was a time when Davis dreamed life would always be like this; that his next trip to Mount Florida would be to add to those two Scottish Cups and three League Cup wins secured under Walter Smith. Southampton midfielder Steven Davis shoots at goal during a match against West Ham last month . Yet those aspirations ended abruptly when the economics of the madhouse behind the scenes at Ibrox intersected with cold hard reality and Rangers plunged into the financial abyss in 2012. When Davis returns to the city to skipper Northern Ireland in a friendly with Scotland next Wednesday night, he knows he could face a hostile reception from the Rangers fans in the crowd who remain raw about the way their on-field leader walked out when the going got tough. Yet with no clarity on what the future held for the club under Charles Green, Davis was one of several leading players who opted to move on rather than remain to usher in the new era under Charles Green. While Davis takes no personal pleasure from vindication, time has shown his switch to high-flying Southampton to be a shrewd move, as Rangers have, by contrast, stumbled between alternating humiliations and crises over the last three years. And while the 30-year-old would understands any animosity, he hopes the fans realise he was left with no other realistic choice. Davis (centre) lifts the Scottish Cup trophy after Rangers beat Falkirk 1-0 in the 2009 final at Hampden . \u2018I\u2019m really looking forward to the match against Scotland,\u2019 said Davis, who won three SPL titles and was a UEFA Cup Finalist between 2008 and 2012. \u2018I\u2019ve always wanted to get back up the road to catch a game but with the number of fixtures we have nowadays I haven\u2019t managed. \u2018I\u2019ve fond memories from the majority of my appearances at Hampden and without doubt, I always hoped I\u2019d play there a few more times with Rangers. When you enjoy as much success as we did in finals, you clearly want to continue in the same vein. \u2018We always seemed to do well in the cup competitions but none of us \u2013 whether you were a fan or a player \u2013 could have foreseen what would happen at the club. \u2018When you play football, you don\u2019t really have your mind on anything else but with the publicity Rangers get, we started to get away from that. \u2018When the new people came in, we didn\u2019t know who we were dealing with and there was no dialogue in terms of telling us which direction the club was going in. \u2018We never heard from the new owners about how they wanted to take the club forward or what their ambitions", "summary": "Steven Davis returns to Hampden next week for the first time in four years .

Patients were infected with HIV and hepatitis C after receiving blood supplies which had not been properly tested. Campaigners estimate more than 30,000 patients across the UK were affected in the 1970s and 1980s, of whom 2,000 have died. Many had the rare blood disorder haemophilia and were given regular transfusions with a clotting agent known as Factor VIII to stop internal bleeding. Scroll down for video . The Penrose Report was burned by campaigner Glenn Wilkinson after it was published in Edinburgh this afternoon . Audience members, including Sandra Molyneux from Liverpool, reacted angrily to the Victims report's publication today . But this came from batches which had not been screened or treated for HIV and hepatitis C, a virus that infects the liver and can cause serious, sometimes fatal damage. The true scale of hepatitis C contracted via hospital transfusions has taken years to emerge because of the time it can take to start to experience symptoms. Dame Anita Roddick caught it after a hospital blood transfusion following the birth of her daughter Sam in 1971. The Body Shop founder lived with the disease for more than 30 years before discovering she had it, by which time she was suffering from cirrhosis of the liver. She died in 2007 aged 64 of a brain haemorrhage, a rare complication of the disease. The scandal was described as the 'worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS' and yesterday the Prime Minister apologised on behalf of the Government. David Cameron addressed the Commons shortly after the Scottish government published the findings from its own six-year, \u00a36million inquiry into what happened. But victims and bereaved relatives who had gathered at the National Museum in Edinburgh, where the findings were read out, called it a 'whitewash'. They are furious that the inquiry did not blame individual doctors, NHS staff or politicians and said nothing could have been done differently. Bill Wright from Haemophilia Scotland criticised the findings of the six year Penrose Inquiry today . Mr Cameron's apology follows a lengthy campaign by the Mail highlighting the plight of victims and relatives. Addressing MPs during Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, Mr Cameron said he wanted to recognise the 'pain and suffering experienced by people as a result of this tragedy'. The Prime Minister added: 'It is difficult to imagine the feelings of unfairness that people must feel as a result of being infected by something like hepatitis C or HIV as a result of a totally unrelated treatment within the NHS, and to each and every one of those people, I would like to say sorry on behalf of the Government for something that should not have happened.'

+{"article": "The former boss of Royal Bank of Scotland is set to pocket a \u00a31million bonus from the state-backed lender \u2013 two years after he was dramatically forced out of his job by George Osborne. There was growing outrage last night that Stephen Hester will get such a huge sum from a bank that was bailed out by the taxpayer. He could receive more than 500,000 shares in RBS \u2013 worth up to \u00a31.9million \u2013 as part of a long-term incentive scheme dating from his days in charge. However Mr Hester, who now runs insurance firm RSA, is unlikely to receive the full entitlement because not all the terms have been met. Stephen Hester, left with a Warwickshire Hunt, is set to pocket a \u00a31million bonus from the Royal Bank of Scotland . In January 2012, when he was still at the helm of RBS, Mr Hester turned down a controversial bonus worth almost \u00a31million after caving in to \u2018enormous political pressure\u2019 despite the backing of the bank\u2019s board. At the time he was being paid \u00a31.2million a year \u2013 or 46 times the average salary of employees in Britain. Mr Hester was brought in to turn around beleaguered RBS after the departure of disgraced predecessor Fred Goodwin. News that he continues to receive millions from his tenure at the bank has sparked fury after RBS last week revealed a seventh consecutive year of annual losses. Andy Silvester of the TaxPayers\u2019 Alliance said: \u2018Until RBS is able to stand on its own two feet, it needs to seriously rein in payoffs, bonuses and these long-term incentives. \u2018The Chancellor needs to stand up to those in the organisation who seem to have forgotten that taxpayers bailed the bank out. Shareholders must be heard \u2013 and at RBS, that includes taxpayers.\u2019 RBS\u2019s earnings have been hammered by a spiralling bill for its past misdemeanours \u2013 including those during Mr Hester\u2019s reign. Last week it reported a \u00a33.5billion annual loss and announced that former Financial Services Authority boss Sir Howard Davies will take over from Sir Philip Hampton as chairman. It set aside \u00a32.2billion to cover legal claims, including \u00a3320million to pay further fines in the US for rigging foreign currency markets and an extra \u00a3400million in the last three months of 2014 for mis-selling payment protection insurance. RBS, which has been propped up by \u00a346billion of taxpayers\u2019 money since the 2008 financial crisis, still has the power to scrap or delay Mr Hester\u2019s bonus. Shareholders have complained for years that it continues to hand \u2018extraordinary\u2019 packages to top staff. The Government has a 79 per cent stake in the bank, although it is eager to see it back in private hands. However, with the share price around 370p \u2013 still well below the 455p the Treasury needs to recoup its money \u2013 a sale remains a long way off.

The past two years have marked the first time since the designation that they've been allowed for commercial and recreational harvest. Fisheries managers estimated 200 million smelt returning to the Columbia in 2014 and a similarly strong run this year. And sea lions reserved their spot at the dinner table. Their seats are largely at the Port's East End Mooring Basin, which has two docks for boats, and two unofficially for sea lions, that also cover the rock breakwaters surrounding the marina.

The Mars rover stopped work when an electrical problem was discovered while it was using its arm to move powder into its sample container. The severity of the problem is not yet known, but Nasa said they expected to resume operations in several days if it can be resolved. A short circuit occurred in the rover's arm as it was moving. Nasa engineers in California are now investigating the problem. The rover (shown here in a recent mosaic image taken by its arm) had been transferring rock powder into a sample analysis container . 'We are running tests on the vehicle in its present configuration before we move the arm or drive,' said Curiosity Project Manager Jim Erickson, of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. 'This gives us the best opportunity to determine where the short is.' The short circuit occurred while the rover was moving its arm on 27 February. When the rover detected the anomaly, it stopped the movement of its arm. Nasa said that such a brief short could have little effect on rover operations, or it 'could prompt the rover team to restrict use of a mechanism'. Quite how much lasting damage the short will have caused, if any, is not yet known. On Twitter the official account for the rover, @MarsCuriosity, said: 'Call me Johnny Five. Some ops on hold while my team investigates a short circuit.' 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 2,000lb (900kg). Scientists considered 60 possible landing sites before deciding on Gale Crater. The fault occurred while the rover had been transferring rock powder collected by its drill on the arm to laboratory instruments on the rover. This powder was taken from a rocket target called Telegraph Peak. Curiosity has successfully analysed five samples from drilling targets before in 2013 and 2014, but this is the first time this problem has arisen. On this particular occasion, Curiosity revealed the true colour of Mars was not red - but blue and grey. By drilling a few centimetres into the ground, the drill dug up material that had a different colouration to the surface. The fault occurred while the rover had been transferring rock powder collected by its drill on the arm to laboratory instruments on the rover. This powder was taken from a rocket target called Telegraph Peak. The material appears blueish-grey, seen here, because it had not yet oxidised in the Martian air . The reason is that Mars is mostly made of silicon and oxygen, and also contains significant quantities of iron, magnesium, aluminium, calcium and potassium. When the soil is exposed to the air it oxidises and 'rusts', giving it its red appearance.

Cabbies have traditionally faced a rigorous set of geography questions on the 80-question test they must pass to get a license, but now only ten geography questions remain that have to do with navigating the city with a map. The Taxi and Limousine Commission says GPS technology means divers don't need to learn so much information about getting from A to B and the revised exam can focus more on safety issues. The amount of local geography required to operate a New York City yellow cab has been significantly reduced as organizers claim that GPS technology means they simply don't need it . Spokesman Allan Fromberg told The New York Times that the revised test is 'catching up to the times.' However the changes come just as the commission is facing a shortage of drivers as many prospective candidates apply instead to driver for alternative services such as Lyft and Uber that don't bother to test local geography. The change to the test was introduced several weeks ago and there has since been a 20 percent increase in the pass rate. The companies who operate fleets of yellow cabs are happy to have more drivers to rota onto shifts, but users are unhappy that they might have a driver who doesn't know their way around the city. Lifelong New York Carolyn Baker told the Times that she has been taking cabs for more 50 years. 'If I got into a cab and the driver didn't know where Penn Station was, that'd be ridiculous,' said .

'I don't want the driver using GPS while they are driving and put my life at risk,' she said. Using a GPS device when a cab is not standing or parked is currently prohibited. Half of the 80-question test, 30 questions on English-language proficiency and the 10 on map reading, remain unchanged. Of the remaining 40, up to 25 questions previously covered geography, but now they all cover rules and regulations.

Executive chef Jimmie McDowell ensures his food and his staff are of the highest standard for all the guests .

Uglies wanting to take revenge on the site have been using fake profile pictures to become members of the exclusive dating community before attempting to subvert the system . Last week it was revealed that BeautifulPeople.com had expelled over 3,000 people for not maintaining the appearance necessary to meet the high standards expected on the site.

'Initially the scale of applications from specific geographical areas \u2013 Russia, the United States and the UK in particular \u2013 caused concern, when we examined the applications in more detail, we noticed a large number of what appeared to be fake profile pictures. 'We then traced this back to various social media sites calling for an attack on our site.' 'People had come together on forums such as Reddit to discuss the site and how they could hijack it by creating the fake profiles.' This is not the first time the site has been under attack. BeautifulPeople.com has been hit with 'denial of service' attacks, and had their rating system sabotaged in 2011. In response the site has introduced new measures to verify profiles and wannabe members must now take a webcam picture of themselves holding up a piece of card with their name and date written on it .

George Osborne said he needed to slash a further \u00a330billion from government spending by 2017/18, with \u00a312billion of savings coming from the welfare budget. The Government's spending watchdog said the planned cuts would be deeper than 'anything seen over the past five years'. But once the books have been balanced the Government will embark on the biggest increase in spending for a decade in 2019/20. George Osborne's planned cuts will be deeper than 'anything seen over the past five years'. But once the books have been balanced the Government will embark on the biggest increase in spending for a decade . Government spending as a percentage of GDP will no longer fall to the lowest level since the 1930s, after Mr Osborne dropped plans to run a \u00a323billion surplus in 2019/20 . The Office for Budget Responsibility said the plans amounted to a 'rollercoaster' of public spending. Mr Osborne's proposal to end austerity a year earlier than expected appeared to be designed to blunt Labour's claim that state spending will shrink to a level not seen since the 1930s. But delivering his Budget today, the Chancellor said new plans would mean state spending as a share of national income the same size as Britain had in 2000 - when Labour was in office - but before, Mr Osborne said, 'spending got out of control'. The Chancellor used his speech to trumpet official forecasts showing better economic growth. Borrowing will also be \u00a35billion less than expected over the next three years, he said. Mr Osborne said official predictions also saw the national debt starting to fall earlier than had previously been thought. National debt as a proportion of GDP will start to fall next year, not 2016/17 as previously thought. Under George Osborne's plans, Government spending will fall as a proportion of GDP to a level last seen in 2000 under Tony Blair . The Government is still spending \u00a390 billion more than it raises in taxes \u2013 and this will only be wiped out by 2018/19. For 2015/16, the deficit will be cut to \u00a375.3billion in 2015/16 and then \u00a339.4billion the following year. In 2017/18 it will fall to \u00a312.8billion before moving into a surplus of \u00a35.2billion the year after. But in 2019/20, the planned surplus will only rise to \u00a37billion instead of the previously planned \u00a323.1billion. Meanwhile, debt as a proportion of GDP is expected to fall in the next fiscal year to 80.2 per cent. He said: 'This is a Budget that takes Britain one more big step on the road from austerity to prosperity. 'Because the national debt share is falling a year earlier than forecast at the Autumn Statement, the squeeze on public spending ends a year earlier too.

The best times to celebrate are at 9:26 and 53 seconds, morning and evening, and the occurence won't happen again until March 2115. On Saturday the date is 3-14-15, the first five digits of the mathematical constant pi: 3.141592653. Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter \u201c\u03c0\u201d) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant \u2014 the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter \u2014 which is approximately 3.14159. 'It's a portal into this magical mysterious world of mathematics,' said University of California Berkeley mathematician and author Edward Frenkel. 'Pi is special.' Pi is the constant used to calculate the area of a circle, as in pi times the radius squared, but it appears all over other parts of mathematics. It 'is kind of a basic atomic building block' for math, said Temple University mathematician and author John Paulos, who was interviewed at precisely 3:14:15 p.m. In some places, Pi Day is celebrated with the edible type of pie. 'It's a real exciting moment for math enthusiasm,' said Nathan Kaplan, a Yale University math professor, who called it a time for people to 'remember how much fun they found some of the stuff in school.' Kaplan acknowledged that most people don't really recall math as fun, blaming that on how it's taught: 'There's fun stuff out there in the quantitative world.' One interesting aspect of pi is that it is irrational, which means the decimals after 3 go on to infinity with no repeating patterns. Yet in 1897, a bill before the Indiana legislature tried to round it up to 3.2. It fell flat. 'We cannot change it. It's not subject to opinion or taste or time,' Frenkel said. 'How many things like this in the universe mean the same thing to everyone through time and space?' This pi story goes full circle, with exactly 314 words. In honor of mathematical constant's designated day, MIT will be announcing its 'Regular Action' admissions on March 14, 2015 at 9:26 a.m. ET. Celebrating Pi Day isn't new for the prestigious college, but this year is extra special, as the date aligns perfectly with Pi's first eight numbers: 3.1415926. Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi\u2019s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.", "summary": "Saturday is 3-14-15, the first five digits of pi .

'Garry, if you don't pay me and my family, I will have no hesitation in giving the ATO everything I have on you. You should be very worried,' his legal adviser Simeon Moore told Mr Donoghue before leaking his information to the Australian Taxation Office, the court heard. Australian Taxation Office (ATO) agents have been found to have engaged in 'conscious maladministration' The Tax Office told Fairfax Media it would be appealing the decision. The Age reports that Mr Donoghue, 58, a former Queenslander who is now living in London, ran a string of telecommunications businesses, including as the former managing director of listed mobile-services provider Plus SMS. He took the case to the Federal Court, arguing that Mr Moore, who was angry over alleged unpaid fees, passed on his file to the Tax Office. Federal Court Justice Logan found that the ATO assessment was invalid because it was based on information under legal professional privilege, and the ATO had no right to use it.

The Tax Office said that it would be appealing the decision . He said the decision by the ATO officer to later proceed and use the information could be attributed to 'inexperience and zeal, coupled with a lack of relevant supervision and guidance'.

Outstanding retired athletes from the army will also be arranged to work as PE teachers, according to Wang. Professional football leagues will also be launched this year in all tiers of academic institutions, from primary schools to universities. Wang expects the leagues will create at least 290 champion teams from primary schools alone. China is aiming to complete its first set of football textbooks by the end of March.

The agency, which has been hit by a number of recent high profile security breaches into the White House grounds, has declined to say what the flights are for, nor specifically when they will occur. But experts have speculated that the Secret Service has developed drones that can be used as surveillance against unmanned aerial vehicles which violate White House airspace but stopped short of saying they now possess weaponized UAVs. Alert: Secret Service officers search the south grounds of the White House on January 26 after an unmanned drone piloted by a drunk government employee crash landed on the lawn . In January, the agency was embarrassed when a small drone piloted by a drunk government employee crash landed onto the White House lawn and recently Paris has been unnerved by a spate of drones seen buzzing the Eiffel Tower, the US Embassy and other key city landmarks. The January episode highlighted a serious security gap that the Secret Service has so far been unable to plug - how to combat the threat of drones flown over the nation's capital and specifically against the White House. The United States Secret Service, in conjunction with other inter-agency partners, will conduct a series of exercises involving unmanned aircraft systems, in the coming days and weeks. Because these exercises will be conducted within the normally flight restricted areas in the Washington D.C. area, they have been carefully planned and will be tightly controlled. In preparation for these exercises the Secret Service has coordinated with all appropriate federal, state and local agencies. However, some aviation and security experts have expressed concern about the scope of the Secret Service's use of drones. Michael Drobac, executive director of the Small UAV Coalition told the Washington Times he thinks that the flights are firstly a public relations exercise designed to restore confidence but he is worried about what the agency will do with all the surveillance material it collects. 'The beauty of their exercise is they get to do real-world outdoor operations that will promote safety for the White House, for monuments and for the general public,' said Drobac.

After the impromptu photo session, the California two-spot octopus tried to take a bite out of the pricey camera submerged in his tank, but eventually lost interest. Say, 'Cheese'! Benjamin Savard (bottom), a digital media producer at Middlebury College in Vermont, was testing out a GoPro camera in the octopus tank when the mischievous creature grabbed the device . Camera shy: The octopus reached a tentacle and grabbed hold of the camera in its waterproof casing . Photographer turns subject: The cephalopod swung the GoPro device around and trained it on Savard and a female researcher . Experiment: Savard (left and right) was hoping to make a sequence of images to accompany research work on the behavior of the California two-spot octopus - a species known for its intelligence and friendly demeanor . In focus: After a few blurry attempts, the octopus got this crystal-clear shot of the filmmaker . Neuroscience students at Middlebury College have been studying whether the octopus species, known for their intelligence and friendly disposition, can open boxes containing food more quickly by observing their eight-legged peers. Savard placed the GoPro camera in a waterproof casing and set it to automatically take rapid-fire photos per second before placing it inside the octopus tank, reported the Washington Post. The filmmaker was hoping to make a sequence of images to accompany the students' research work on cephalopod behavior. Most octopuses in the reservoir ignored the device, but one feisty specimen took hold of the camera and trained it on Savard, snapping a couple of good-quality pictures showing the bespectacled producer dressed in a white lab coat. Savard shared the snapshots on Reddit, where they became a huge hit with users. Some wary redditors have accused Savard of staging the photo shoot, but the filmmaker assured them that it was not a stunt. As proof, he posted the entire series of photos featuring the moment the critter reaches a tentacle to grab the camera, turns it around and trains it on Savard and a female researcher standing behind him. Savard later compiled the photo sequence into a gif. \u2018I was just trying to brainstorm different ideas of how to show off the kind of unique research that\u2019s going on here and in ways that would be engaging,\u2019 Savard explained on Reddit. \u2018I think the octopus\u2019s timing was great.

+{"article": "The most surprising thing about New York Fashion Week this year wasn't what the models were wearing, but what they were drinking. The elixir on every fashionista's lips was bone broth, which is being sold by the cup from a hip new Manhattan shop. Aficionados claim that it is rich in amino acids - the building blocks of protein - calcium and collagen, and that drinking it will do everything from warding off illnesses to curing joint pain, and giving you healthy skin, nails and hair. And at just 86 calories per cup, it's a very slimming lunch option. It's catching on here, too - celebrity chefs Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley, whose healthy cookbook The Art of Eating Well knocked Jamie Oliver and Mary Berry off the top of the Amazon charts, advocate ladlefuls of bone broth in everything from stews to scrambled eggs. Making it couldn't be easier: simply add 2-3kg of bones from any beef, lamb or chicken carcass to a pan of water with a couple of onions, leeks, carrots and celery sticks. Add a tablespoon of peppercorns, a bay leaf and a dash of cider vinegar and simmer for up to 24 hours. It may sound like old-fashioned stock, but fans claim bone broth is different because it simmers for eight hours longer, which helps break down the protein you get from the bones. But Sian Porter, spokesman for the British Dietetic Association, isn't convinced. 'Bone broth does contain nutrients, minerals and vitamins, but in pretty low quantities. You'd get far more goodness from just eating meat.' However, she says, making your own stock is 'certainly better than buying it in a cube, as you can control what goes in it'. Bone broths have traditionally been prescribed for colds, flu and digestive health, says Laura Tilt, a registered dietitian. 'The main protein in bone broth is gelatine. Gelatine supplements have been shown to improve pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis sufferers, but whether you get the same benefits from broth is unclear.' So is bone broth a magic bullet for superhuman health and supermodel looks? Probably not. But is it much better for you than a supermarket-bought stock cube? Almost certainly.", "summary": "New York Fashion Week models were drinking bone broth . Aficionados claim that it is rich in amino acids, calcium and collagen .

Twenty years on the keen model maker has created a fleet of radio controlled warships at his workshop in Ferndown in Dorset. Each warship is made to scale, using original Royal Navy blueprints and photographs to ensure they capture a snapshot in time when the vessels were in action. Model maker Tony Ansell spent the last 20 years making scale models of radio controlled navy warships. His Dorset workshop features models of HMS Campbeltown (top), HMS Hood (middle) and HMS Fencer (bottom) Mr Ansell, a former plumber, uses original Royal Navy blueprints to make the scale models of the warships . And so dedicated is the former plumber to his craft that he is in the process of writing to the Queen to ask for permission to name one of his ships - a G3 battlecruiser - Beatty because the original was cancelled and therefore never named. 'You need to put in the research and I tend to pick a particular time in the ship's life to make it at because warships went in for refits lots and could be different from year to year,' said Mr Ansell, 63. 'I like to make ships you don't see at model shows very often and bigger ones are more of a challenge because you have to be more detailed.' Mr Ansell uses fibreglass to make the hull of the ships and flexible sheets of 1mm thick plastic for the rest of the structure. He researches each of the vessels before he makes them, using photographs to ensure accuracy. Most of the other items such as guns and aircraft are made from resin and mini Airfix kits. Constructing the models is a painstaking process, sometimes taking longer than it took to make the actual warships themselves. It took nine years for Mr Ansell to complete HMS Dreadnought laying each of the planks individually . Replica fighter planes sit on the deck of one of Mr Ansell's boats that make up his fleet of model warships . HMS Campbeltown was an American ship that was eventually transferred to the Royal Navy in 1940 . Mr Ansell's most recent build, the battleship HMS Dreadnought, is a 6ft long, 1:196 scale model and has as taken him nine years to finish - nine times longer than it took to build the actual warship in 1906. But the project was delayed by a lack of photographs of the vessel and he built two other models during that time. He has also made models of aircraft carrier HMS Fencer, HMS Campbeltown and HMS Hood, the ship sunk by the Germans in World War Two. As well as his scale warships, Mr Ansell has also created replicas of tanks, keeping them all to precise scale .

The Spanish midfielder latched onto Angel di Maria's lofted pass, and twisted his body to volley a spectacular effort past despairing goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

Juan Mata fires home a spectacular effort for Manchester United against Liverpool on Sunday . The Spaniard's goal was the second of his double and secured a 2-1 victory for Louis van Gaal's side . Paolo di Canio (WEST HAM vs Wimbledon, 1999) As casual as it was genius. When Trevor Sinclair lifted the ball into the box, he would not have imagined the enigmatic Italian forward would have executed the volley to find the corner. Di Canio's scissor kick flew past Wimbledon goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, and deservedly won West Ham's player of the season award. His goal of the season gong for 1999/00 in the Premier League was no surprise, either. Paolo di Canio watches on after guiding home a wonderful scissor kick for West Ham against Wimbledon . The Italian forward's strike was named goal of the season in the 1999/00 Premier League campaign . Gus Poyet (CHELSEA vs Sunderland, 1999) Di Canio's effort wasn't the only scissor kick of that particular Premier League season. On the first day of the campaign, the Uruguayan midfielder sprinted to meet Gianfranco Zola's lofted pass and spectacularly volleyed home. His goal was one of four at Stamford Bridge against the hapless Sunderland. And that wasn't the last time Black Cats fans would lose their cool with Poyet. Guti (REAL MADRID vs Villarreal, 2001) Guti's scissor kick was one that we hadn't seen before, and haven't seen since. Standing upright, similar to Di Canio and Poyet, the Real Madrid star side foots his volley into the top corner. The Bernabeu faithful have seen several special players this century, but not many goals as unique as this (3minutes, 10 seconds). Mark Hughes (WALES vs Spain. 1985) Wales 3-0 Spain. A day that will long live in the memories of Welsh supporters, thrashing the Euro 1984 runners-up in Wrexham. And not only was it an historic day for the team, Hughes' goal in his hometown will never be forgotten. The ball spins back to the now-Stoke manager who acrobatically fires it home from shoulder-height, thundering into the top corner.

Adore Me, a rapidly growing lingerie start-up based in New York, has revealed that its television ad featuring a plus size model quadrupled online sales when compared to the brand's commercial starring a group of blondes. 'There's an overall mentality that you have to be super skinny,' the company's founder Morgan Hermand-Waiche told CNN. 'We are showing that we offer lingerie for everyone.' Scroll down for video . Betty versus Veronica: Online retailer Adore Me has revealed that new research shows that its television ad starring a plus size brunette sold more lingerie that its commercial featuring a group of blondes . The three-year-old start-up, which sells its lingerie and swimwear through monthly subscriptions, as well as one-off purchases, used a marketing strategy called A/B testing, in which consumers are shown different ads in order to measure what models, poses and settings increase the retailer's sales. When Adore Me debuted its first national television campaign last January, the company used the testing method for its three different commercials, which aired on channels such as Bravo, Lifetime and MTV. One television ad featured a cast of all blonde models, another showcased all brunette models and the third starred one plus-size brunette. After the company monitored online traffic and sales throughout the month, they came to the -perhaps surprising conclusion - that the 30-second commercial featuring the dark-haired plus-size model generated four times as many sales than the one featuring the blondes. Making sales: A curvy brunette can be seen modeling a pink lingerie set for one of the brand's commercials . Foolproof method: The company's founder Morgan Hermand-Waiche told CNN's Rachel Crane that he relies on customer research to build his company's website . Even better news for the thriving company is that the plus size clip only cost one-tenth of the other commercials' production expenses to make. The online retailer also learned that its female consumers preferred the commercial that left its models unretouched. Adore Me didn't do any digital retouching to the ad featuring multiple brunette models - and that commercial was the one that was favorited by consumers. A/B testing is an important strategy for the company, which unveils a new collection every month.

Roy Keane was questioned under police caution following the alleged bust-up with taxi driver . Fateh Kerar, 44, claims the row last month was sparked when he and his female passenger spotted the TV pundit at a cash machine in nearby Hale. He says he said 'hello' to the 43-year-old and asked him to 'smile' before Keane got into his car and began following his taxi. It is then alleged that when the cars stopped at traffic lights an 'angry' Keane, who lives in Bowdon, Cheshire, got out and started acting 'very aggressive'. Police launched an investigation into the incident at 11.30am on January 30 and Keane, previously a coach at Aston Villa, was interviewed under caution by officers at a police station earlier this month.

Researchers have developed a way of turning the so-called 'packing peanuts' into carbon, which can then be added to the types of lithium batteries used in everyday gadgets. During tests the packing peanut-based batteries could store 15 per cent more power than current technology - and they even outperformed similar batteries made of graphite. Scroll down for video . Researchers have developed a way of turning so-called 'packing peanuts' (pictured) into carbon, which can then be added to the kinds of lithium batteries in everyday gadgets. During tests the packing peanut-based batteries could store around 15% more power than current technology . This breakthrough was made by Dr Vilas Pol, Dr Vinodkumar Etacheri and their colleagues at Purdue University. They presented their findings at the National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The researchers began by baking the packing peanuts at around 600\u00b0C (1,100\u00b0F) to create blocks of black carbon. These blocks were then flattened into microsheets and nanoparticles, which in turn were added as anodes to lithium batteries. These sheets had a lithium-ion storage capacity of 420 mAh per gram. By comparison, an iPhone 6 battery has a total storage capacity of 1810mAh and weighs 0.9oz (28 grams), while the theoretical capacity of graphite is 372 mAh/g. This means the packing peanut technology could make batteries smaller and lighter, yet more powerful. Typically researchers make similar microsheets using temperatures as high as 2,200\u00b0C (4,100\u00b0F), meaning Dr Pol's method uses less energy and is more environmentally friendly. Dr Pol got the idea to turn these peanuts into nanoparticles and microsheets when he was taking delivery of new equipment for his lab. 'I looked at the packing peanuts and thought that while we are exploring \"green\" technologies, we should not be harming the environment by throwing them away,' he said.

They remain the only unbeaten team in the Barclays Premier League this year and it owes much to the solidity of a defence now boasting six straight away games without conceding a goal. Clearly, it amounts to a tactical triumph for manager Brendan Rodgers. Not least in the way he tore up his own blueprint for life without Luis Suarez and came up with an entirely new strategy that has worked for the players who remain at Anfield. That is no easy task, as Roberto Martinez and Louis van Gaal would probably testify. Simon Mignolet dives to spectacular deny Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson during Liverpool's 1-0 win on Monday . Emre Can has slotted in well in defence after Brendan Rodgers changed his system . Brendan Rodgers (left), Colin Pascoe (centre) and Mike Marsh talk tactics on the Liverpool bench . Liverpool have not lost in their last 13 games - a run that has seen them rise from 10th in the table to fifth. Should they beat Swansea on Monday then they will be just two points off fourth place.

Yes, there is no doubt the decision to move Emre Can into a back three - when he was signed principally as a midfielder \u2013 was quite brilliant. Can has been superb in the role alongside Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho, who have also benefitted hugely from a tactical reshuffle that appears to provide them with more security and with it greater confidence. The decision to drop Simon Mignolet earlier this season has also proved an astute piece of leadership by Rodgers. How a player responds is of the utmost importance and Liverpool\u2019s goalkeeper, much like we saw with Joe Hart at Manchester City, has returned with greater focus and determination. Against Swansea he made some marvellous saves, in particular to deny Bafetimbi Gomis and Gylfi Sigurdsson. That said, Liverpool\u2019s defence also demonstrated against Swansea that they remain prone to the occasional mistake. There was a moment at The Liberty Stadium, which led to the Mignolet save to deny Gomis, when a neat exchange of passes between Swansea\u2019s French striker and Wayne Routledge left a gaping hole in Liverpool\u2019s back three.

Tatyana Igonina, 20, was killed just a few steps from her front door after a falling icicle hit her in the head . The incident is the latest involving falling icicles to take place across Russia as the rising temperatures begin a thaw, according to The Siberian Times. Public authorities have been tasked with clearing roofs of any overhanging ice, but in some cities they are coming under scrutiny following a spate of injuries and near-misses. Tributes were paid to Ms Igonina, an only child, on Russian social media sites. She had spent the New Year on a sunshine break to Thailand and was said to be 'very happy' with her life. In a post on Vkontakte social media her cousin, Vladimir Makhonin, wrote: 'I will never forget her laughter, her eyes and smile. Farewell beloved sister. I would give everything to hear her voice again.' According to one of Ms Igonina's friends, investigators refused to approach her body until all remaining icicles were removed from the block of flats . In another tribute, a friend also wrote: 'How to live forever now. Our beauty.' Ms Igonina had recently graduated from university and was looking for a job. According to one of her friends investigators refused to approach her body until all remaining icicles were removed from the block of flats. Following a decree from the mayor of Novosibirsk, public service officials had cleared the roof a week before the tragedy but did not notice blocks office that had formed on a canopy belonging to one of the residents. It had been assumed the owner would clear the canopy himself, but he did not. Residents in Russia are used to seeing icicles and snow falling from roofs during winter and particularly in spring when the thaw begins. Icicles (pictured overhanging a balcony in Siberia) have caused dozens of deaths over the past few years after they thaw and then fall onto people passing below . In 2010, five people died and 150 were injured by icicles in St Petersburg amid the coldest winter for three decades. Nine years earlier 74 people in Moscow were the victims of falling ice, including an 18-year-old killed by a falling shard at his military base. The last death in Siberia occurred in January 2008 when an 83-year-old was killed, but there have been a number of serious injuries and near misses involving ice this month. In Novokuznetsk on March 15, a day after Tanya's death, a snow boulder fell on a 17-year-old girl, leaving her with a head wound.", "summary": "Tatyana Igonina, 20, died just a few steps outside front door of her home .

'I will just mention Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and then there are the rest of the teams, with Real Madrid probably in between. 'Ultimately we have always said our goal is to become as good as them, but it will take some time. They are really good.' Ivan Rakitic scores the only goal of the game as Barcelona progress against Manchester City . Rakitic is mobbed by his Barcelona team-mates after his 31st-minute strike in the second leg . Pellegrini echoed Kompany's comments and admitted that Barcelona, with the mesmeric Messi at the helm, are simply a better side than City at present. \u2018Messi was imperious - at the moment we have to accept Barcelona are better,' said Pellegrini. \u2018It is not a failure, it is a disappointment. We have been unlucky to play Barcelona for two years in a row. We have had a restriction on the number of players we can use in the Champions League.' 'It is very difficult to beat Barcelona, but the statistics I don\u2019t care about. \u2018We cannot analyse what we will do next season because it is too soon after this result.

+{"article": "Ukip's only Scottish MEP David Coburn is facing calls to resign . Nigel Farage is today at the centre of a political storm after refusing to condemn his party's only elected politician in Scotland for comparing an SNP minister to convicted terrorist Abu Hamza. The Ukip leader claimed that David Coburn's controversial remark was merely a 'joke in poor taste' and has rejected cross-party demands to kick the MEP out of the party. The Daily Mail told on Saturday how Mr Coburn, who is also bidding to become an MP in the General Election, said in conversation: 'Humza Yousaf, or as I call him, Abu Hamza.' Mr Yousaf, the Scottish Minister for Europe and International Development, last night said Mr Farage's response was 'pitiful' and challenged him to sack Mr Coburn. Mr Yousaf is now taking legal advice following the 'Islamophobic' slur, and will subsequently consider reporting the issue to the police. Scotland's party leaders and high-profile UK politicians have joined forces to condemn Mr Coburn. An online petition calling for Mr Coburn to resign has been launched, with nearly 300 signatures as of last night. In the wake of the controversy, the SNP has called on David Cameron to rule out a post-election deal with Ukip. Mr Coburn, who has insisted his remark was made 'in jest', made the comment during a telephone conversation with the Scottish Daily Mail last week, in which he spoke about his appearance on BBC Two show The Big Immigration Debate. He claimed that Mr Yousaf was supposed to appear on the programme, and said: 'Humza Yousaf, or as I call him, Abu Hamza, didn't seem to turn up.' Challenged by the Mail during the conversation, Mr Coburn said the remark was intended to be private. However, there had been no prior agreement that the discussion was off-the -record. Hook-handed Hamza was earlier this year given a life sentence by a New York judge for supporting terrorism. The hate cleric was convicted last May of multiple charges, including hostage-taking and plotting to set up a terror training camp in the US. The Scottish Daily Mail telephoned Ukip leader Nigel Farage yesterday to ask for his response to Mr Coburn's remark. He replied: 'I really haven't read them in full, to be honest with you, I've been busy doing other things.' Informed of what was said and told that Mr Yousaf has called for disciplinary action against Mr Coburn for making an 'Islamophobic' comment, Mr Farage replied: 'What, for telling a joke in poor taste?' He added: 'It looks to me like a joke. I haven't spoken to Mr Coburn at all, but I assume it's a joke in poor taste.' Pressed if he would suspend Mr Coburn, he said: 'No... come on, this is nonsense isn't it? 'The bloke has made a joke in poor taste is my interpretation of it. I think one should make jokes in good taste, not jokes in poor taste.' Asked again if he would take any action, Mr Farage said: 'Not right now.

Awad, a Somali-born unemployed part-time student who lives in Shepherd's Bush, has now pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm at Isleworth Crown Court. The court heard that there appeared to be no motive for the incident, although the prosecution hinted at a dispute after Ms Essa apparently made comments about Awad's husband. Nadeem Holland, prosecuting, said: 'The victim was leaving the mosque after completing her prayers and came across the defendant, who appeared to be entering. 'They are known to each other as members of the same extended family, their grandmothers are sisters. 'Ms Essa could think of no reason there could be bad blood between them, but there was a phone call several months earlier when she was supposed to have made comments about the defendant's husband.

He said: 'The parties can't assist with the motivation for the attack and the probation report suggests cultural or religious differences. 'There was no pre-meditation, she was not following the victim and it seems to be an accidental meeting and resulted in what she describes as an absolute moment of madness.

The 22-year-old from Kilburn, north west London, even filmed himself in sordid trysts and sent them to the youngster who was using her Nintendo DS to access Facebook.

Mansoor Miah walked free from court after sending explicit messages to a 15-year-old schoolgirl he was grooming over social media . When she told him she was uninterested in religion Miah, who worked in Tesco, carried on their conversations which turned to a sexual nature despite the girl having told him how old she was.

Their property had used heating oil some years ago, and the driver had been confused about where to deliver the diesel, resulting in the costly mistake on November 24, a PGG spokesman said at the time. Within seconds of the incident, diesel had seeped into the flooring of the basement and destroyed items in the room, while strong, dangerous fumes had permeated the air surrounding the property.

A father-of-four brutally murdered his wife of 17 years in their kitchen before calmly heading off to work, a court heard.

Leaving her dead on the kitchen floor, the 'violent and dangerous' 44-year-old changed out of his bloodstained clothes and hid them under the driver's seat of his car. He then stashed the murder weapon - which was never found - and went to work. Paramedics were called to the end-of-terrace home in Hillersdon, Slough on the afternoon of October 20 after Raheela's brother made the gruesome discovery of her body. He had gone round to the house after family members became concerned and found the front door ajar. A post mortem examination found the mother-of-four died as a result of a wound to the neck. Sharif was arrested later that day before being charged with murder on October 23. He had originally denied killing his 45-year-old spouse, but later confessed to a friend and fellow prisoner while he was being held in custody at HMP Bullingdon. Detective Chief Inspector Mike Lynch said: 'I am glad that Sharif has accepted responsibility for what he did and admitted that he took his wife's life. 'This has been an incredibly difficult time for Raheela's family and friends as they try to come to terms with their loss and although it may offer them little comfort, I hope that Sharif's guilty plea will be of some help as they begin to rebuild their family's lives.' Adrian Foster, Chief Crown Prosecutor for Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service, said Raheela's life had been 'brought to a premature end.' Raheela Imran's body was removed from her home in Slough after husband Sharif slit her throat last October . Forensic technologists had investigated at the semi-detached house where Mrs Imran lived with Sharif and their four children . Mr Foster said: 'Having been charged with his wife's murder and while on remand at Bullingdon Prison, Sharif confided in another prisoner, who he had known for about 12 years and admitted killing his wife. 'He is clearly an extremely violent and dangerous man. 'This case represents a tragedy for the family of Raheela. Her children, family and friends have been devastated by her untimely death.

Lubitz had torn up a sick note declaring him unfit to fly on the day he crashed a Germanwings plane into a rocky ravine in the Alps, killing himself and everyone on board. The 27-year-old is believed to have consulted medics about severe psychological and visual disorders and been told he was too ill to fly by two doctors before the crash. But due to confidentiality rules, this information was not passed onto Gemanwings operator Lufthansa and he was able to fly the doomed Airbus A320 that day. Scroll down for video . Andreas Lubitz was able to conceal his health issues from Lufthanza because of Germany's privacy laws which mean GPs cannot disclose information about their patients' health and the onus rests of employees . Under patient confidentiality rules, which also operate in the UK, pilots do not have to disclose their profession to GPs and doctors are not able to pass on their concerns to airlines. The onus of reporting any health issues rests solely on the 'honesty' of pilots. Tony Newton, a British pilot who has flown Airbus A320s for 20 years and who also works as a Civil Aviation Authority examiner, said that the system 'has to change'. 'It's a gaping hole in the system. It would happen in the UK as well,' he said. 'As a pilot, my medical life at work and my medical life at home are absolutely separate, unless I choose otherwise. Nobody checks that you communicate your health problems to the airline. 'Pilots have a yearly medical examination, which includes a chat about how we've been feeling psychologically, but it's fairly low-key. 'If I go to the GP, there it no requirement for me to disclose that I'm a pilot. 'And if I see the doctor for something that may affect my ability to perform my duties, he is prevented from communicating that to the airline because of medical confidentiality. 'The onus is on me to hold my hands up and tell the aviation authorities. The system is not well policed. It relies on honesty. A simple headstone has been laid in Seyne-les-Alpes, the closest accessible site to the area of the crash .

'There is a legal obligation for pilots to tell their employers if they have surgery, or an illness that requires more than 21 days off work, or have been prescribed a long list of certain drugs.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) was already examining allegations against ten officers involved in the investigation into one of the country's most prolific child abuse rings. But today the commission said it had received 30 new complaints containing 100 allegations about 42 officers involved in the Rotherham investigation. The Independent Police Complaints Commission is examining 100 allegations made against 42 officers from South Yorkshire Police who investigated child sex abuse in Rotherham (file image) The complaints came in the wake of the Jay Report, which described how 1,400 children, mainly girls, were routinely raped, trafficked and groomed in South Yorkshire between 1997 and 2013 . It said in a statement: 'The complaints contain more than 100 allegations against 42 named police officers, both retired and serving, as well as a number of allegations against officers whose identities are currently unknown.' The complaints followed on from the Jay Report, which described how at least 1,400 children were raped, trafficked and groomed in the South Yorkshire town between 1997 and 2013. The IPCC statement said: 'Work to establish the identity of the unknown officers and to identify any links between the different complaints and incidents is ongoing. 'The allegations range from neglect of duty by failing to adequately investigate on the basis of intelligence or to deal with incidents appropriately, inappropriate comments and suggestions of corrupt relationships between police officers and offenders.' The commission said it was also investigating an allegation that South Yorkshire Police failed to act on information passed to them in 2004 and 2006 about alleged child abuse in nearby Sheffield. This complaint relates to two named police officers who are now retired from the police service, the IPCC said. The Jay Report, published in August last year, sparked furious debate about the tragic crimes which took place in Rotherham, and how the perpetrators went unchallenged for so long. The Jay report found that the abuse went unchallenged as police and council chiefs were afraid of being labelled racist, as the perpetrators were largely gangs of Asian men . Professor Alexis Jay, who wrote the report, described how hundreds of vulnerable teenagers, mainly girls, were routinely exploited by gangs of mainly Asian men with impunity. Police and senior council officers were accused of failing to tackle the problem for fear of being seen as racist, and of ignoring or doubting the victim's accounts. A wave of high profile resignations followed and the National Crime Agency was brought in to investigate the crimes and how they were handled. The Jay Report was followed by another report by Louise Casey, which was scathing in its criticism of Rotherham Council and led to the replacement of the local authority's ruling cabinet with commissioners appointed by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles.

A custom that, according to legend, began when an ancient king tried to make slaves of the women, the inkings were first intended to repel incomers and then became a symbol of beauty. But with younger people increasingly reluctant to be inked for fear of ridicule and for fear of the heavy fines imposed by the ruling military junta, Burma's tattooing tradition is on borrowed time and could disappear within a generation. Sign of beauty: The women of the Chin, Magan and Muun tribes say facial tattoos are a sign of beauty . Customs: The tradition exists alongside other customs such as playing the flute through the nose. A Magan woman is pictured. Isolated: The tribes live far from the Burmese capital Naypyidaw in a mountainous area that was cut off until two years ago . Fines: The military junta has done its best to eradicate the tattoo tradition and levies a hefty fine of half a cow on anyone who gets one . Meaning: Each of the facial tattoos is replete with symbols, although the most frequently seen design is the spider's web (pictured) Variation: These women, both from the Chin tribe, have less prominent tattoos than those from the Muun and Magan peoples . Attractive: This lady told MailOnline that her spider's web tattoo caught men like the real thing catches flies . As a result, few women now have the markings, with the majority of those who do living hidden away in the mountainous Chin, Rakhine and Arakan regions - all of which were closed off to visitors until two years ago. Now an estimated 700 tourists travel to the area each year, although few are inclined to attempt the precipitous climb up to the mountain eyries of the Magan, Chin and Muun tribes. Those who do will be rewarded with a warm welcome - and a glimpse into one of Asia's oldest, and most threatened, cultures. Most of the tattooed women boast spider's web designs which, as one villager quipped to MailOnline, 'attract the men like a spider's web catches insects'. Others bear full-face tattoos, with every part of their face covered in ink - again, a symbol of beauty. So popular did the look become, one elderly lady, Pa Late from the remote Kanpelet village, revealed that women who chose not to have it 'looked ugly to all the men'. Must-have: The tattoos are thought to be an ancient custom that arose in response to a slave-hungry king. It was supposed to make girls ugly . Mandatory: In the centuries that followed, the tattoos became a sign of beauty and were insisted upon by parents .

Police found Charlie Bothuell V thin and hiding among boxes in his family's townhouse home last June, a stunning turnabout in a search that involved local, state and federal officers. The discovery led to allegations that his father and stepmother forced him to go through rigorous twice-a-day workouts, kept him away from other kids, deprived him of proper food and abused him. Charlie Bothuell IV, 46, and Monique Dillard-Bothuell, 37, are charged with child abuse and torture and current hearings will determine if they stand trial. They have pleaded not guilty. Charlie Bothuell V, now 13, was found in the basement of his family's Detroit townhouse home after his 11-day disappearance. A doctor says the boy, who was found thin and with bruises, was the victim of abuse . Police investigators had already searched the basement (pictured) where Bouthell V was found. His father's lawyer says that the boy is lying about his abuse . Dr Dena Nazer of Children's Hospital of Michigan didn't examine Charlie or speak to him., but she was allowed to testify based on a review of his medical records, photos and his statements to other medical staff. Dr Nazer said Charlie, 12 at the time, indicated that his stepmother sent him to the basement because he didn't do his twice daily workout . The routine allegedly involved doing 100 pushups, 200 situps, 100 jumping jacks, 25 arm curls with a 25-pound weight and thousands of revolutions on an elliptical machine. She said the boy had bruises on his chest and buttocks, which were consistent with his claim that he had been beaten with a PVC pipe. 'He was also threatened to be killed and told no one would know because he was home-schooled,' Dr Nazer said . 'He was subjected to more than one kind of child abuse,' Dr Nazer told a judge. 'He was subjected to child physical abuse and psychological abuse in terms of isolation and deprivation.' Charlie Bouthell IV, 46, and Monique Dillard-Bothuell, 37, face charges of child abuse and torture that could lead to life prison sentences . Bouthell IV and Dillard-Bouthell, (pictured) would allegedly make their son undergo a strenuous workout routine twice daily, doing thousands of revolutions on an elliptical machine . The father famously found out that his son had been found in his basement while being interviewed by HLN's Nancy Grace . The doctor's testimony didn't reveal much new information. Authorities for months have alleged that Charlie was abused. The lawyer for Charlie Bothuell IV said that his client's son 'is a liar' and made up his abuse.

The 21-year-old is in line to make his international debut against Lithuania on March 27 or in Italy four days later. Harry Kane has been called into the England squad for the first time by Roy Hodgson . Kane is set to play for the Under 21 side in summer . 'It is an honour to be called up to the senior side, something I always dreamed of as a kid,' Kane told Spurs TV. 'I'm excited, when I got the message I was going to be in I was full of joy and hopefully it is the first of many.' Having started the season as Spurs' third-choice striker, few expected Kane to score 26 goals for the club. But now he is the club's poster boy and, for that reason, the north Londoners are determined to take him on their post-season jaunt to Australia, where they will play Sydney FC in a friendly on May 30. Hodgson is not so keen on the idea, however. Kane will, more than likely, be included in the England Under-21 squad for the European Championship - which takes place from June 17 to June 30 - as Hodgson wants him to experience international tournament football. Gareth Southgate's team will play at least one friendly between the end of the season (May 24) and the start of the tournament on June 17. Hodgson has noted Mauricio Pochettino's concerns about Kane's potential tiredness, but he thinks Spurs have a perfect opportunity to rest the striker by leaving him out of the squad for the 42-hour round trip to Australia. 'This is a marketing game as far as I can understand,' the England manager said. 'Personally speaking, playing for England at Under-21 level at a tournament is more important than a friendly in Australia. 'I would be very hypocritical if I didn't give that answer. 'If he needs a rest, there's a great opportunity when the season ends before our Under-21s get together to give him a rest. 'You can't expect me in good faith to say: 'oh no, I understand he shouldn't be resting for the Australia trip, he should be doing that and then resting when the Under-21s pitch up.' I can't go along with that.' Having represented Spurs across four competitions, Kane could amass well over 50 appearances for the club before the end of the season. And the Argentinian expects the forward to push himself to the extreme to impress Hodgson. Pochettino will relay his concerns to Hodgson when England train at the club's Enfield base next week in the build-up to the two internationals. 'I will see Mauricio,' Hodgson said.

The price of hitting yourself on the thumb or hanging wallpaper upside down has just got cheaper. For Poundland is launching a range of 200 DIY essentials from hammers to packs of paint brushes and screwdrivers - and yes, they all cost no more than \u00a31. The thriving budget chain has signed a partnership with celebrity builder Tommy Walsh, who appeared alongside Alan Titchmarsh in the BBC\u2019s Changing Rooms, to develop and test the range. Recent reports from major DIY warehouses suggest many young adults don\u2019t have the skills or the interest in home make-overs or doing jobs around the home. However, Mr Walsh insists people can save a fortune by avoiding the need for tradesmen if they have their own tools and make sure they plan their jobs carefully. He claims the items in the range are at least five to six times more expensive at the major DIY chains. He gave the example of a three piece professional paint brush set, which would be at \u00a35-\u00a36 at a leading shop. Other items include a 7.5m tape measure and 20g tube of superglue, as well as a 1m spirit level, paint rollers and trays, masking tape, a five pack of screwdrivers and the 330g tubes of all-purpose filler and mastic. \u2018The cost of calling out a tradesman or even buying tools for small home improvements can mount up quickly,\u2019 Mr Walsh said. \u2018DIY should be accessible and affordable for everyone. Customers can fill their toolbox with all the essentials they need for as little as \u00a310.\u2019 The range has been trialled by tradesmen who decorate and carry out repairs for a living to ensure it is robust and easy to use. The grips have been ergonomically designed so the hand tools are easy to use for long periods without causing blisters. The decision by Poundland to move into DIY comes just as some of the big names are closing outlets, following a fall in trade. Homebase is shutting 80 stores amid claims today\u2019s home makers do not know how to do even simple jobs like putting up a shelf or a curtain pole.

Each pack will provide tips from Mr Walsh on how to carry out the corresponding DIY task. The partnership with the celebrity builder is part of a wider trend by the budget chain to bring in middle income shoppers. It already offers Jane Asher bakeware range, which has achieved double its predicted sales, while there are beauty products that have been well received by the fashion press, and jewellery.

British soldiers will be protected from \u2018ambulance-chasing\u2019 lawyers if the Conservatives win the General Election, the Defence Secretary pledged last night. Human rights laws will be \u2018ripped up\u2019 to ensure those who fight for their country can no longer be hounded in the courts, Michael Fallon said.

As part of this, the Human Rights Act will be scrapped and soldiers will be subject to a new British Bill of Rights which will reflect the pressures they face in combat.

Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, pictured, said yesterday: \u2018We can\u2019t go on with a situation where our boys are hamstrung by human rights laws' After an inquiry costing \u00a331million, the allegations were found to be \u2018wholly and entirely without merit or justification\u2019. Despite this, the law firms are continuing to pursue cases against the MoD for deaths in Iraq using the Human Rights Act. If the rules are not changed, top brass fear being bombarded by 2,230 more legal claims. There are concerns that troops will in future have to call a lawyer before taking action \u2013 even in the heat of a battle.

My mother and I were very eager to give our support via testimony at that time \u2013 however, not to the general public. I was not quite strong enough then.' In 1988, the then 17-year-old aspiring model met Cosby via her modelling agency in New York. He assured the teen and her parents that he would help her become a star. Ms Thompson told People that Cosby made uncomfortable advances against her which ended in her feeling pressured to perform a sexual act on him. 'I'm like a robot, and that is what I became, and that is what I did for him,' she said. She was reportedly given $700 as she left his home. She told People that she had decided to come forward now because she 'would rather go to bed at night knowing that I've been honest'.

Last Friday, Cosby's lawyers asked a federal judge to toss out a defamation lawsuit filed by three women - Tamara Green, Therese Serignese and Linda Traitz - accusing the beleaguered comedian of decades-old sexual offenses. The accusers, all of whom have stepped forward in recent years, said Cosby's representatives publicly branded them as liars while trying to defend his innocence. But Cosby's lawyers said the actor was merely acting in self-defense as his character was under attack. 'The law does not require that one stand idly by while he is publicly attacked,' the lawyers argued in their 38-page filing.

Google's new FaceNet system is practically perfect - getting the right person 99.96% of the time - here, it shows the variety of lighting condition it can overcome .

'To train, we use triplets of roughly aligned matching / non-matching face patches generated using a novel online triplet mining method.

Danielle and Alexander Meitiv, who believe in a so-called 'free-range' approach to parenting, were thrust into the national spotlight just before Christmas when police found Rafi, 10 and Dvora, six, wandering the sidewalk on their own. The decision by Child Protective Services means that the CPS will keep a file on the Meitiv's open for at least five years but Danielle and Alexander Meitiv have said they will continue to bring up their own children as they see fit - whatever the consequences. Scroll down for video . Hands-off: Alexander and Danielle Meitiv with their two children, Rafi (left) and Dvora (six). The Maryland Child Protective Services have deemed them responsible for 'unsubstantiated' child neglect for allowing their kids to walk home alone from the park before Christmas . Unsubstantiated child neglect is not a criminal charge, but is in most cases a prelude to them. 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. It usually comes when the CPS has deemed parents to have neglected their children, but has insufficient information or witnesses to press charges or take action. This seemingly arbitrary ability to place a family under investigation and rule against them has left the Meitiv's, who both work as scientists, furious.

+{"article": "Updated: But the new edition of Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage fiercely opposes some of the foibles of the English language today . Don't say 'like', avoid the word 'awesome' and never drop your aitches - the latest edition of the ultimate guide to the English language has been revised for the 21st century. The new edition of Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage has just been released, and has been revised to take on the language battles of the current generation. Compiler Jeremy Butterfield has inserted some strident views into the dictionary - saying that people who use the word 'like' deserve to face physical violence. He also risks charges of snobbery, by writing that anyone who says 'haitch' instead of 'aitch' appears 'unspeakably uncouth' to older generations. But the new Fowler's does make some concessions to the modern world - traditionalists may be angry to discover that the book accepts the use of the world 'literally' to mean 'metaphorically'. Fowler's dictionary was first published in 1926, written by lexicologist H.W. Fowler, and it rose to fame as the definitive guide to what is and isn't acceptable in the English language. However, in the intervening decades the book has fallen out of fashion, as modern trends have reacted against notions of 'correct' and 'incorrect' language use. Mr Butterfield's new edition, published by Oxford University Press last week, attempts to re-establish the reputation of Fowler's guide. Among the words which he says should be banned are 'challenging', 'awesome' and 'issue', because they have all become clich\u00e9s, according to The Times. He also outlaws the use of the word 'achingly' when attached to 'trendy' or 'hip', saying it should be reserved for situations where someone is actually in pain. Similarly, he insists that the word 'nubile' should mean 'marriageable', not 'sexually attractive' as it is often used nowadays. But he reserves his most furious broadsides for the word 'like', used by younger generations to pepper their sentences regardless of whether it serves any linguistic purpose. Author: The first edition of the work was published by lexicographer H.W. Fowler, pictured left, and the latest edition has been revised by Jeremy Butterfield, right . Mr Butterfield - who admits to sometimes being a 'grumpy old man' - writes: 'Overuse will cause listeners outside the speaker's immediate social circle, wider social group or age cohort to ignore the content of the message, to assume that the speaker is little short of brain-dead, or, in extreme cases, to wish they had a discreet firearm to hand.' In an even more contentious passage, the author suggests that people who drop their aitches or pronounce the letter as 'haitch' are marking themselves out as socially inferior to others. He points out that Lord Carey did not pronounce aitches when he was young, but changed his speech as he grew older, eventually reaching the top of the Establishment as Archbishop of Canterbury. 'There would be no doubt that George Carey would not have risen to that position if he had continued to do so,' Mr Butterfield writes.

Dunbar had been named in the XV to face England in Saturday's Calcutta Cup clash at Twickenham.

The damage is being scanned at a private hospital in Edinburgh, while a specialist will need to examine the images before making a final diagnosis. Alex Dunbar faces a race against time to be fit for the Rugby World Cup after injuring his knee at training . While Scotland coaching staff are hopeful that he may only have torn his cartilage, putting him out of action for around six weeks, there is a real fear that Dunbar has sustained damage to his ACL \u2013 which means up to six months on the sidelines.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has spoken out against two new laws in Indiana and Arkansas which critics say will allow business owners to refuse service to homosexual customers based on 'religious liberty'. 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.' He said such bills 'rationalize injustice' by 'pretending to defend' religious freedom, which actually eroding the freedoms of others. Cook drew upon his background growing up in the South in the 1960s and 1970s, during and immediately after the Civil Rights movement when blacks were still heavily discriminated against. He says America's 'days of discrimination' must remain 'deep in the past' and said freedom and equality is a value that is at the heart of his company. He added: 'Apple is open.

HB1228 is also named the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and uses the same wording as the Indiana legislation. The Indiana bill forbids the state or local government from 'substantially burdening' a person's religious beliefs unless that burden is 'essential' to further a 'compelling' government interest, and is the 'least restrictive' means of achieving that aim. It allows people or organisations to use the legislation as a defense in court against claims of discrimination against them, and if the court rules in their favor, allows reparations, including compensation payouts.

This is not the first time the weathervane has fallen foul of the elements, back in 1992 it was struck by lightning and the subsequent repairs were featured on children's TV show Blue Peter. Father Time was given to MCC in 1926 by the architect of the Lord's Grand Stand, Sir Herbert Baker. During World War II, it was wrenched from its original perch when it became entangled in the steel cable of a barrage balloon. Staff set about trying to repair and restore Father Time to it's original glory . Father Time tweeted to say he had been diagnosed with copper damage and will be undergoing treatment . It was reattached to the top of the Grand Stand where it sat until 1996 when it was relocated to the Mound Stand. The symbolism of the figure derives from Law 16(3) of the Laws of Cricket: 'After the call of Time, the bails shall be removed from both wickets.' But he has, as his name indicates, moved with the times - and tweets these days on behalf of Lord's Cricket Ground, including an update on his latest mishap. The two posts read: 'NEWS: I've was felled by high winds last night! Ouch! 'Apologies for my poor grammar in the previous tweet - but I'm not feeling my best after being damaged last night!' Father Time later tweeted: 'I've been diagnosed with copper damage and will be undergoing treatment ASAP.'", "summary": "Father Time weathervane bent 90 degrees by high winds in London .

The Star Observer reports that Sharpe was using the app on a trial basis for this election.

+{"article": "An unusual nexus of mining interests, relief work in Haiti, and a former U.S. first family is raising new ethics questions that could affect Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions. Clinton's brother, Tony Rodham, was a board member of a North Carolina mining company that enjoyed prime access to Haitian gold deposits in the wake of post-earthquake relief work organized in part by former president Bill Clinton through the Clinton Foundation. Another board member of the firm, VCS Mining, was former Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, who co-chaired the charitable Interim Haiti Recovery Commission with Mr. Clinton. The revelation, smacking of cronyism and back-room government dealing, is part of a forthcoming book by Government Accountability Institute founder Peter Schweizer, whose work exposing the investment 'insider trading' habits of members of Congress caused national outrage in 2011 even though the practice was legal. Scroll down for video . ONE-STOP SHOP: Clinton presided over the grand opening of a Haitian industrial park in October 2012, two months before VCS Mining got a lucrative gold mining permit . 'Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,' his latest book, will go on sale May 5. At the time VCS Mining's 'gold exploitation permit' was awarded, according to a press release from the company, it was one of only two firms to get one. The Haitian government hadn't issued such a permit in more than 50 years. Tony Rodham, brother of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, sat on the board of a company that landed a gold mining deal in Haiti after Bill and Hillary Clinton directed millions into post-earthquake relief . Breitbart News first reported on the investigative nonfiction book's coming release. The January 2010 Haiti earthquake killed more than 100,000 people and affected more than 3 million. That disaster was followed nine months later by a cholera epidemic of historic proportions. The Clinton Foundation raised at least $36 million to help, according to its website. The Obama administration pledged $3.6 billion. 'Much of the U.S. assistance is provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development,' a department of the State Department that Mrs. Clinton led at the time, according to the department's website. Rodham's company got its gold mining rights in December 2012, according to the VCS press release. Schweizer's publisher, HarperCollins, said in a press release Thursday that it 'reveals how the Clintons went from \"dead broke\" on leaving the White House to being millionaires, describing in detail the way in which the Clintons habitually blur the lines between politics, philanthropy, and business.' The Clintons' family philanthropy came under fire in February for admitting it had accepted money directly from foreign governments including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Some of those donations came while Mrs. Clinton was the U.S. secretary of state. Breitbart reported that the terms of Rodham's gold windfall upset members of Haiti's senate: The government's royalties under the deal were pegged at just 2.5 per cent, half the customary rate.

When Arsene Wenger sent Francis Coquelin on loan to Charlton in November it looked to be the final nail in the Frenchman's Arsenal career. The Gunners manager admitted as much recently, revealing he was prepared to let the midfielder leave in December. Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin (right) controls the ball during his side's win against QPR . The Frenchman wore a protective mask at Loftus Road after fracturing his nose against Everton . Coquelin, pictured challenging Sandro, has become the Gunners' midfield enforcer in recent months . But a spate of injuries in midfield saw Wenger recall Coquelin in December. The 23-year-old hasn't looked back. He's grasped his chance to become a key member of Arsenal's midfield with both hands, despite his reluctance to return to Arsenal from Charlton fearing he'd simply be warming the bench. There's an argument to suggest he's the most vital component in Wenger's plans at the present moment; the central midfield enforcer they've been crying out for in recent years. Just weeks after his Arsenal career looked to be drawing to a close, Coquelin is on the verge of agreeing a new long-term contract to stay at the Emirates Stadium. Wenger would like to say Coquelin's emergence has been pre-planned; a managerial masterstroke that has helped Arsenal turn their stuttering league form around. But that is far from the case. Coquelin played five games on loan at Charlton this season but has returned to be a first team regular . Coquelin's stint in the first team has earned him a new long-term contract with the Gunners . The Frenchman midfielder has propelled himself above compatriot Mathieu Flamini in the pecking order . Following three substitute appearances after his return from the Valley, Coquelin was handed a rare start against West Ham on December 28 in place of the injured Mathieu Flamini. He hasn't looked back. His energetic and mature displays alongside Santi Cazorla in central midfield have been a revelation - none more so than in the win at Manchester City in January. The concern with Coquelin has always been about his physical stature. Can his slender frame handle the rough and tumble of Premier League football? He's answered those questions unequivocally in recent weeks. Having fractured his nose in the recent win over Everton, the midfielder insisted upon playing on - only coming off in injury time after taking another blow to the face. Three days later he was back on the pitch, sporting a protective mask, in the narrow win over Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road. He's waited so long to prove himself in an Arsenal shirt, Coquelin's won't let a broken nose keep him on the sidelines now.

Scientists have long believed that the large adult males tend to leave females to raise their young and they are known to even attack and kill cubs when they come across them. However, in an astonishing new set of images captured by a camera trap in the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve in eastern Russia, a large male Amur tiger is seen leading a family of three cubs and their mother through the snowy forest. Scroll down for video of the tiger family passing the camera trap . The above photograph, captured with a camera trap, shows a family of three Amur tiger cubs and a female being led through a snowy forest by a large male in the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve in east Russia. It was created by stitching together several images . The images could help scientists learn new details of the role male tigers play in rearing their young. Dr Svetlana Soutyrina, deputy director for scientific programs at the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve who set the camera traps, said: 'We have collected hundreds of photos of tigers over the years, but this is the first time we have recorded a family together. Also known as the Siberian tiger, the Amur tiger is one of the most endangered big cats on the planet. They are a subspecies of tiger, that along with the Bengal tiger, are the biggest cats in the world. The largest male measured more than 3.5 metres (11 feet) in length and can weigh up to 318kg (701lbs). Their range once extended right across Siberia and down into China and South Korea. However, heavy poaching and loss of their natural range due to habitat loss has caused their populations to plummet. There are now just 500 left living in the wild. 'These images confirm that male Amur tigers do participate in family life, at least occasionally, and we were lucky enough to capture one such moment.' There have been a few rare examples of male Bengal tigers taking an active role in parenting in the past but it has never been seen in Amur tigers. In 2011 a male was found to be caring for a pair of orphaned cubs in the Ranthambore tiger reserve in Rajasthan, India. However, such behaviour is extremely rare and more commonly male tigers will kill the cubs of another male to reduce competition. After mating male tigers tend to leave a female to rear the cubs herself but will provide protection for them while they remain inside his territory. Large males will often have several females in their territory. In some rare cases they have also been seen to kill prey to feed his family. The pictures were captured as part of a project between the Wildlife Conservation Society's Russia Program, the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve and Udegeiskaya Legenda National Park. Camera traps set up in the forest captured the family in a series", "summary": "Extraordinary picture shows male leading female and cubs through Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve in east Russia . Large adult male tigers usually have several mates within their territory and leave females to raise their cubs alone .

After 30 years of silence, 71-year-old Russell Causley has finally opened up about the murder of Veronica Packman, who disappeared from her family home in Bournemouth in June 1985. For 11 years, Causley had concocted a false story about his wife's whereabouts. But, after being investigated by police for a separate insurance scam, Causley was convicted of her murder in 1996, despite Ms Packman's body never being found. A daughter is urging her father Russell Causley, 71 (left) to reveal where he has hidden the body of her murdered mother Veronica Packman (right) Now Samantha Gillingham, 46, is begging for her depraved father to reveal the whereabouts of her mother's body, as the 30th anniversary of her disappearance approaches. The former aircraft engineer had suggested meeting with the family so he could finally reveal what had happened - but he cancelled the confrontation, just days before it was due to go ahead. Mrs Gillingham said: 'It is my father who approached us to speak, we responded to listen to what he has to say, only for him to cancel four days before. 'I am asking for help; I need to ask once again if there is anything that someone knows, who has not previously come forward for whatever reason - please rethink on your silence.' Ms Packman, 40, and Causley - both wealthy, middle-class aircraft engineers - had been having several marital problems when she went missing. Mrs Gillingham, then 16, later discovered a scrawled note from her mother saying she had left and wanted no further contact with the family. It came 12 months after Causley had moved his mistress Patricia - a colleague - into the family;s Ipswich Road home, under the pretence that she needed somewhere to stay. Following Ms Packman's disappearance, Causley changed his name by deed poll from Packman to Causley, the surname of his lover. Samantha Gillingham (left), who was 16 when her mother (right) disappeared, said she needs to know where her mother's body is so she can gain closure on the horrific incident . The family lived a respectable, middle-class life in Bournemouth, Dorset, until Causley (centre) moved his mistress Patricia into the family home, 12 months before Ms Packman (left) disappeared . He then created a cover story about Ms Packman's disappearance, to convince friends and family she was still alive. Mrs Gillingham believed her mother had abandoned the family. But 11 years later, Causley was jailed for two years after he tried to fake his own death in a boating accident in a million-pound insurance scam. Ms Causley was also handed a 12-month suspended sentence for conspiring to defraud. But, more importantly, the investigation led detectives to reopen the case into Ms Packman's disappearance. Causley was then charged with her murder before being convicted in 1996 at Winchester Crown Court.

PETER SCUDAMORE . Eight-time champion jockey and rider of 13 Festival winners . DOUVAN . (Supreme Novices\u2019 Hurdle, 1.30) Rated one of the best horses Irish trainer Willie Mullins has brought to the meeting, which is saying something. Having beaten some very decent opposition without coming off the bridle, it is impossible to truly measure his merit but the vibes are strong and he should be able to successfully start what could be an amazing afternoon for Mullins and his stable jockey Ruby Walsh. L\u2019Ami Serge looks best of the British but that might not be good enough. BEST ODDS: 13-8 . Douvan, pictured at the gallops, is rated one of the best horses Willie Mullins has brought to the meeting . UN DE SCEAUX . (Arkle Challenge Trophy Chase, 2.05) Another Mullins-trained hot-pot. Fell when clear on his steeplechasing debut but has since pulverised some good performers including Tuesday\u2019s rival Clarcam by 15 lengths in January. Some fear his temperament might get the better of him given the atmosphere but he was far more tractable for Walsh on that last run. BEST ODDS: 8-13 . THE NEW ONE . (Champion Hurdle, 3.20) My pick to derail the Mullins bandwagon by beating hot favourite Faugheen and his two-time champion stablemate Hurricane Fly. Some say the gelding trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies and ridden by his son Sam wasn\u2019t as unlucky as he looked last year when almost brought down at the third hurdle and his failure to keep up on the run to the home turn was crucial. But that ignores how significant a loss of momentum and rhythm can be in a top-quality race. BEST ODDS: 7-2 . ANNIE POWER .

That includes giving weight and a length-and-a-half beating to Tuesday\u2019s rival Some Plan at Cheltenham in December.

Their venom could be effective in fighting cancer, researchers have discovered, and the potency of Australian cane toad's venom is stronger than those in China. This means that potentially millions of toads could be shipped to China, so they could have their venom extracted and turned into medicine, to be sold on the multi-billion dollar traditional medicine market. Millions of Australian cane toads could be shipped to China so their potent venom can be used in cancer medicine . Harendra Parekh, from the University of Queensland's pharmacy department where the research took place, said this discovery could lead to a 'potentially a very lucrative export market'. 'People are killing cane toads by the millions for free, but it\u2019s potentially a very lucrative export market for Australia with the Chinese being extremely interested in naturally derived health products,' Dr Parekh said in an article published by the UOQ.

The venom would likely be mixed with herbs and sold in tablet form (file photo) Cane toads are a pest in Australia, which were introduced in Queensland in 1935 to control cane beetles .

When asked who were the best defenders he has played alongside, the 28-year-old listed a pair of stalwarts from the two clubs he has signed for during his career: Carles Puyol at Barcelona and Rio Ferdinand of Manchester United. Barcelona defender Gerard Pique opened up during a Facebook Q&A session with fans . The Spain international scores a rare goal during the 6-1 defeat of Rayo Vallecano on March 8 . Pique picked former Man United team-mate Rio Ferdinand as one of the best defenders he has played with . A young Pique listens as Ferdinand gives youngsters advice during their time together at Old Trafford . Pique arrived at Manchester United from Barcelona's La Masia academy as a teenager in 2004 before returning to Barcelona four years later when opportunities at Old Trafford became limited, primarily because of the established form of Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. The Spaniard, who has a child with pop songstress Shakira, bears a similar cultured style to Ferdinand in the mould of a tall defender with excellent technique who is comfortable on the ball. Meanwhile, at the other end of the pitch, Pique again chose one player from England and another from Spain when asked who have been his toughest opponents. Pique picked Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo (right) as one of the toughest players he's played against . Chelsea battering ram Didier Drogba (2nd left) was another opponent that has tested Pique to the limit . 'Cristiano Roanldo and Didier Drogba,' he answered in reference to his Real Madrid rival and and Chelsea's physically imposing centre-forward. Among other revelations from Pique's Q&A session are that Hristo Stoichkov and Ronald Koeman were his idols as a child while, unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is 'definitely' the best player he has ever played with. Pique also admitted he misses the presence of Puyol and close friend Cesc Fabregas in the Nou Camp dressing room, saying: 'Yes, a loooooot! Who wouldn't?'

Go over there!' Hollis said the animal was confused and jumped up, putting her paws on the tailgate of the man's pickup truck before giving chase after the truck sped off, trying desperately to keep up. After the animal took off after the truck, Hollis got into her car and tried to follow the dog and vehicle, watching the shepherd cross two lanes of traffic as the animal attempted to reach the man.

Ryanair, the Ireland-based budget carrier, plans to run services between key European cities and the US with one-way tickets costing from as little as $15. The idea is part of an aggressive growth strategy, connecting airports such as London Stansted and Berlin with New York, Boston and Miami. Ryanair, Europe's largest budget airline, has received board approval to develop a transatlantic service for budget passengers, with one-way tickets between the US and key European cities costing as little as $15 . The airline first mooted the idea of offering transatlantic flights back in 2008 and board approval comes after the airline has invested 18 months in cleaning up its image and improving customer service. It is believed it could take up to five years to realize the plan, as the airline needs to source appropriate long-haul aircraft for the routes. Last year, Michael O\u2019Leary, the airline\u2019s chief executive, told the Irish Hotels Federation conference in Meath that Ryanair would offer the $15 flights to Boston and New York. However, he admitted that passengers would pay extra for everything from meals to baggage. He said: 'We can make money on 99 cent fares in Europe. Michael O'Leary previously said the airline has long been looking at long-haul flight plans, but is held back by a lack of aircraft availability . 'Not every seat will be ($15) of course; there will also need to be a very high number of business or premium seats.' In a separate conversation, Mr O'Leary admitted: 'We've had a business plan ready to roll for a transatlantic, low-fares airline.

Sir Freddie Laker revolutionised air travel with his idea for budget flights between Europe and the US, but his airline failed in 1982 .

The incident occurred when the two NYPD officers, Lukasz Skorzewski, 31, and Lt. Adam Lamboy, 44, flew to Seattle, Washington, to interview an alleged rape victim in July 2013.

They get to keep their jobs . Both policemen were hit with departmental charges after the unidentified woman's allegations made their way to the media. The two officers pleaded guilty to the charges on Monday, The New York Daily News reported. Skorzewski was demoted from detective after the trip, and was docked 30 vacation days and suspended for 10 days without pay as a result of pleading guilty. He has been transferred to the Medical Division in Queens on a year's probation. 'What the detective did was immoral, certainly. It was wrong. But it wasn't criminal,' a police source told the Daily News. Lamboy was already under investigation for overtime payments that he had not worked. He pleaded guilty to that charge too and was ordered to pay back more than $5,000 for 76 hours. For both charges he was docked 45 vacation days and suspended for 15 without pay. He has been transferred to Police Service Area 9 Viper in Flushing, Queens, a public housing unit. Lamboy lost his command as head of the NYPD's Manhattan Special Victims Division. Police Commissioner Bill Bratton will have to approve the final punishment. Sonia Ossorio, president of the National Organization for Women's New York City chapter, said in a statement: 'The idea of a special victims detective making a pass at a rape victim when he's charged with interviewing her about that rape shatters any notion of confidence in the NYPD's ability to regulate itself.'

The alleged victim said that on the day of the incident she had lunch with Skorzewski, a married father of two, at a Seattle restaurant called the Skillet Diner.

After a fourth consecutive second place in the championship, the man in charge of the union \u2014 and national coach Stuart Lancaster's boss \u2014 delivered a forthright verdict about the need to aim higher. Among those objecting to his views was Sir Clive Woodward, who argued passionately in these pages that the timing was wrong and that Ritchie had scored a 'massive own goal'. RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie (right) chats to Lancaster at England's base in Pennyhill Park in Bagshot . Tom Wood (left), Courtney Lawes and Chris Robsaw leave the pitch following their 55-35 win against France . England have claimed just one Six Nations title since their 2003 World Cup triumph in Australia . Yet what was he supposed to say in the circumstances? Let's be clear; this was a damned-either-way scenario. Imagine if Ritchie had declared that he found the outcome \u2014 another campaign without silverware \u2014 to be perfectly acceptable. He would have been widely castigated for failing to drive standards, for setting the bar too low. He would have been condemned for sitting on the fence and refusing to demand better. Instead, he made it plain that he and the RFU are not about to settle for title near-misses. If it was meant as a suited boot to the behinds of the coaching staff, then it was unnecessary as they know precisely what is required. When Lancaster sat down to reflect on Saturday's 55-35 rout of France at Twickenham, he wore a despondent look. There was barely a flicker of consolation in the match result. He is well aware that anything other than first won't do. Lancaster (second left) consoles his players after they fell just six points short of a Six Nations title . Amid a raging discussion on this polarising subject on Wednesday, some observers even questioned Ritchie's right to dip a toe in these waters at all. The thrust of the point from the dissenting voices was that he is in charge of the business and should leave Lancaster and Co to run the England team. This simplistic outlook ignores the glaring truth: that Ritchie controls the appointment of coaches. Soon after taking up his post he was the man who \u2014 following consultation with a panel of rugby experts \u2014 opted to give Lancaster the head coach role on a full-time basis, after his impressive interim audition. Earlier this season, Ritchie authorised the agreement of new six-year contracts for Lancaster and his three assistants, Andy Farrell, Graham Rowntree and Mike Catt. So while he may not have the deep-rooted rugby knowledge to precisely criticise performances, he is an employer who must monitor the efforts of his leading employees.

A bronze statue in memory of murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne has been recovered by police after it was stolen from outside her school.

It was found by a member of the public this morning after Sarah's mother, Dr Sara Payne, had appealed for its safe return. The statue was found outside an address in Northfield Road, Cobham, this morning. It is believed that it was left outside the property between 5.15am and 7.30am. Three people are believed to have been involved in the theft. A van was also seen in the area around the time of the offence. Sergeant Marc Nettleingham, of Surrey Police, said: 'The member of the public who found the statue, which is thankfully undamaged, had seen our appeal on Facebook.

It later emerged that Whiting was already on the Sex Offenders Register after abducting and sexually attacking another eight-year-old. Her brutal death remains one of Britain's highest profile child murders and led to the introduction of Sarah's Law following a lengthy campaign by her mother. The rule allows concerned parents or grandparents to contact police to find out if a new boyfriend, or a neighbour, who has contact with a child, has a history of child sex offending.

Nearly 60 years after the wildlife presenter's first visit to the continent, the collaboration was announced at the Destination Australia Conference in Sydney, this week. 'The most exciting natural history experience of my life was the first time I dived on a coral reef [in 1957]. Being on the Reef is a revelatory, thrilling and unbeatable experience and with this project we're going to be able to share it with millions,' Attenborough said. David Attenborough returned to Australia filming a documentary about the world's largest coral reef system . The popular naturalist spent three weeks filming on and around the Reef and aboard one of the world's most advanced research vessels equipped with the latest technology. Tourism Australia Managing Director, John O'Sullivan said: 'It's wonderful to welcome David back to the Reef where he will, once again, bring to life the many amazing stories of this magnificent natural wonder in his own unique and inimitable way.

Attenborough spent three weeks on the Reef, on a research vessel equipped with cutting-edge technology . Attenborough said diving here in 1957 was the most exciting natural history experience of his life . The Great Barrier Reef already attracts more than 1.9 million visitors each year, and 90 per cent of the economic contribution in the region is derived from tourism. 'We already know from our consumer research that Australia's biggest competitive strength is its world class nature, something which is extremely highly regarded from all our key target markets and very much a core part of our global tourism offering,' Mr O'Sullivan continued. The research also revealed that aquatic and coastal experiences were amongst the most popular tourist activities, specifically to Australia where the Great Barrier Reef ranked highly in appeal amongst international visitors.

'The Great Barrier Reef is a huge part of our destination appeal, with consumers in the UK, US, Singapore and Japan actually ranking it as their number one most appealing Australian attraction. 'It's vital that we continue to show the world why our aquatic and coastal experience are so unique, and this film will undoubtedly help tell that story to a truly global audience in an authentic and engaging way,' Mr O'Sullivan said.

The millionaire gay father of a child brought up by a lesbian couple he donated sperm to must pay \u00a320,000 to cover their costs in an extraordinary triangular legal battle between the boy's three parents. The man - named in High Court papers as JF - helped the women have a child in 2007 but the mothers now say he is being too demanding over access to the seven-year-old. After the boy was born JF - who has dual British and US citizenship and lives in a \u00a31.2million pound home in the South of England - had irregular contact with him and took him to America twice. But his relationship broke down with the mothers, who complained that the father had become 'increasingly individualistic and demanding about contact', the court heard. Today Mr Justice Mostyn - one of Britain's most senior family judges - ruled that in the absence of legal aid JF must pay 80 per cent of the mothers' costs as they continue to fight him in court. The judge blamed the Government's 'grossly unfair' legal aid cuts that mean the father should have to pay \u00a320,596 now, and 80 per cent of future costs run up by the women, known as MG and JG. 'But that it where the Government has left him. It is a sorry state of affairs,' added the judge.

They wanted a child and responded to an entry by JF in a register for 'lesbian women and gay men seeking a non-sexual parenting partner' and accepted his sperm so they could have a child. MG carried the baby and gave birth in April 2007 and the couple agreed that JG became a legal step-parent and it was agreed all three would have legal rights to the boy - JFG - who was registered as an American citizen.

Whether it's during a speech or in a meeting, helpless laughter is one of our most insightful behaviours, according to neuroscientist Sophie Scott. In a recent Ted Talk in Vancouver, Professor Scott revealed that laughter often isn't to do with comedy value, but with our relationships with others. Laughter is often used as a tool for social bonding rather than in reaction to something that has comedy value, according to UCL Professor Sophie Scott. Pictured are Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama during a basketball game . According to David Robson at BBC Future, Scott's study of people in Nambia revealed that laughter is a key cultural mechanism that helps social bonding. When Scott asked indigenous Namibians and English people to listen to recordings of each other and describe the emotions, laughter was the most recognisable. 'People genuinely think they are mostly laughing at other people's jokes, but within a conversation, the person who laughs most at any one time is the person who is talking,' she told the BBC. The University College London professor's current research aims to distinguish the difference between fake laughs used during conversation, and involuntary giggles. She has carried out brain scans on volunteers listening to expressions of disgust, a real belly laugh and a realistic fake one. Laughter activates the brain's mirror regions that mimic other's actions, and she says this is the reason behind why laughing can be so contagious . So far, her research has found that volunteers were almost always able to identify a false laugh. She has also discovered that less authentic tones are more nasal, and belly laughs never come through the nose. Researchers from Indiana State University found that with laughter can boost the immune system by up to 40 per cent. The study tested 33 healthy women. Half of the women watched a comedy video together while the others watched a dull video on tourism. When the films were over, scientists took samples of the women's immune cells, known as natural killer cells, and mixed them with cancer cells to see how effectively they attacked the disease. They found that the women who had found the comedy funny enough to laugh out loud had significantly healthier immune systems afterwards than those who had watched the tourism film. Meanwhile, MRI scans revealed how hearing real and fake laughter activates two different areas of our brains. Fake laughter triggers more brain activity \u2013 in the medial prefrontal cortex, associated with problem-solving \u2013 as we try to work out why the person is doing it. Genuine laughter simply activates auditory areas in the temporal lobe \u2013 where we process all sound. But both activate the brain's mirror regions that mimic other's actions, and she says this is the reason behind why laughing can be so contagious. 'You are 30 times more likely to laugh if you're with someone else,' she claims. To further her work, Scott has recently set up an experiment at London's Science Museum, where", "summary": "Professor Sophie Scott says laughter often isn't to do with comedy value .

'Women who have had children and brought their families up, they have valuable life experience,' the former Home Office minister said.

Mrs Blears said: 'If all intelligence professionals are cut from the same cloth \u2013 sharing similar backgrounds and characteristics \u2013 then they are likely to share 'unacknowledged biases' that will circumscribe both the definition of problems and the search for solutions.' According to the inquiry, her view that women can make for a better working environment for spies was backed by Sir Iain Lobban, the former director of GCHQ, the listening agency.

The Mayor of London raised concerns about a change to the civil service code, quietly introduced last week, which makes it clear that officials can be sacked if they speak out before checking with a minister. Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude agreed to redraft guidance to \u2018strengthen protection\u2019 for those speaking out to blow the whistle on scandals or abuses of public money, and include a commitment to being \u2018as open as possible\u2019 with Parliament and the public. The Mayor of London, pictured during a visit to Kew Gardens last week, disagrees with the new rule to stop civil servants speaking to the press . However, that has failed to satisfy critics who have asked why such a change has been enforced just before the general election campaign. Mr Johnson, a former journalist, told the Daily Mail: \u2018I believe in maximum possible transparency. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. \u2018There\u2019s virtually nothing that you can say or do that isn\u2019t instantly FOI-able. Although it\u2019s painful and difficult for politicians, it\u2019s a bloody good thing. It does lead actually to better government. I\u2019m in favour of people being able to discuss things as freely as they can. \u2018When I look back at my time in City Hall, it\u2019s quite incredible how I took over an operation staffed overwhelmingly by people who didn\u2019t share my political views. They have been loyal. Do we get people trying to brief the media? Absolutely not. Mr Johnson said he believed in 'maximum possible transparency' \u2018Most civil servants understand that there\u2019s a difference between being useful and helping public debate, and undermining the operation that they are in. I\u2019m in favour of transparency.\u2019 Mr Johnson said he was concerned that there would be a repeat of the post-Leveson \u2018chill\u2019 between the media and the police, which he described as \u2018crazy\u2019. \u2018One of the difficulties that there has been is in the case of relations between police and the media. Relations between police and the media have always been pretty free,\u2019 he said. \u2018Publicity is one of the utensils of crime-fighting,\u2019 he said. Mr Johnson raised wider questions about historic police investigations, such as those going on into child abuse allegations dating back decades. \u2018One thing I am concerned about is the extent to which police time and resources can be devoted to what you might call policing the past - policing previous police investigations into what may or may not have been criminal offences,\u2019 he said. \u2018We have got to be careful. I can see the huge sensitivities, and there may be people out there who feel they have been victims. But we also need to fight everyday crimes of violence and burglary.\u2019 The Cabinet Office insists that the amendment to the civil service code will not affect contacts between journalists and press officers or advisers who regularly speak to the media.

A British man is the latest person to have been killed by an avalanche on the Swiss Alps this winter, like the one pictured. The man, who has not yet been named, was skiing off piste with his brother when he was trapped under snow and killed . Three helicopers were scrambled to the rescue on Saturday at 12.20pm, but the 30-year-old, who lived in Switzerland, died on the mountain. The tragic accident happened as the men - who were both strong skiers and well equipped for the expedition - were travelling down the so-called Hannibal Corridor. The victim's brother was unharmed but could see the avalanche sweep his brother away 'clearly', according to a spokesman for the Valais police force. The avalanche risk on Saturday was classed as 'limited', or a two out of a possible five on the European avalanche risk table. In Switzerland most avalanche deaths occur at levels two and three.

Apple phones are designed to ward off hackers by locking the phone after too many incorrect attempts at entering a passcode. But a team of experts has found a way to bypass this security feature using a DIY hacking kit made from parts bought online. The gadget plugs into a phone and simulates the PIN entry over USB meaning it can bruteforce every possible combination until it finds the correct one. Importantly, by connecting directly to the phone's power source, it can override the 'Erase data after 10 attempts' setting. The hack and device was devised by experts from London-based MDSec, authors of The Mobile Application Hacker's Handbook. It takes advantage of a flaw in iOS 8.1 that creates a tiny delay between the PIN code being entered and the phone unlocking. MDSec's device cuts the power source immediately after each failed attempt but before the attempt has been synchronised with the phone's flash memory. 'We recently became aware of a device known as an IP Box that was being used in the phone repair markets to bruteforce the iOS screenlock,' said the researchers. 'This obviously has huge security implications and naturally it was something we wanted to investigate and validate. 'Although we\u2019re still analysing the device it appears to be relatively simple in that it simulates the PIN entry over the USB connection and sequentially bruteforces every possible PIN combination.

'What is surprising is that this still works even with the \u201cErase data after 10 attempts\u201d configuration setting enabled.' MDSec's total setup cost around \u00a3200 ($297), and the researchers explained that because each PIN entry takes approximately 40 seconds - including the phone shutting down - it can take more than four days to bruteforce a four-digit code. The hack also only works if a criminal has stolen or found the phone, and it only applies to phones running iOS 8.1 or older.

Although it is one of the world's oldest species \u2013 dating back more than 170 million years \u2013 there are few surviving populations of giant salamander left in the wild. Its appearance has barely changed since the Jurassic period. Scroll down for video . Giant: The salamander found by Mr Xiao measured 83cm in length and weighed in at 5.5kg . Shock: Park ranger Mr Xiao could not believe his eyes when he saw the rare creature swimming in the river . The giant salamander, which measured 83cm in length and weighed 5.5kg, was found in Heyuan City in southern China's Guangdong Province. After keeping it in a temporary tank, Mr Xiao released the creature back into the river, watched by a crowd of fascinated tourists. The giant salamander is listed as 'critically endangered' on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List and a protected species in China. Prize catch: Mr Xiao shows off his discovery, the first of its kind to be found in the area . Fine specimen: The Chinese giant salamander is the world\u2019s largest living amphibian and has been known to grow up to 1.8m long . Despite its status as an endangered species, it is still regarded a delicacy among China's super rich. The salamander population has declined drastically over the last 30 years due to poaching and destruction of its habitat. Earlier this year Chinese officials were investigated for reportedly eating a giant salamander at a luxury banquet in Shenzhen. A recent government crackdown means that anyone found to be eating endangered species could receive a jail sentence of up to ten years. Attention: A young boy enjoys his moment with the rare amphibian before it is returned to the wild. 30 years ago the giant salamander was relatively common . It is believed by some that the salamander has anti-ageing benefits, although there is no scientific evidence to support this. The giant salamander holds a treasured place in Chinese mythology and is called 'wa wa yu' - or 'baby fish' - in Chinese because its distress call sounds like the cry of a baby. In the past the amphibian could grow to more than 1.8 metres in length and over 50 kilograms in weight, but due to wild harvesting most salamanders today are much smaller.", "summary": "Ranger was shocked to see the giant salamander while picking winkles .

Under current broadcasting agreements, the last round of fixtures is staggered throughout the day in a bid to maximise television audiences; with Wales facing Italy in tomorrow's early tie. With the three-way race likely to be decided by points difference, the approach gives fellow challengers Ireland and England \u2013 who are up second and third \u2013 a clearer indication of their required score-line and, according to Howley, lessens the entertainment value. Wales assistant coach Rob Howley (left) wants the final round of Six Nations games to be sychronised . 'I do really enjoy the last day of the Premier League, where everyone listens to their radios to hear the scores,' said Howley. 'The drama of that situation is unique and it would be unique in rugby - probably that should be the case in the Six Nations. 'Ultimately, in terms of all of us kicking off at the same time, there would be some drama in the game; knowing what changes need to be made and the message we need to get onto the pitch. Going up first, it's important we win the game. Ireland and England will have the opportunity after our game to know what they have to do, which is always a good thing.' Wales need a landslide victory to overturn the points advantage of their two title rivals. They must capitalise on every attacking opportunity and, following an injury to Sergio Parisse, the chances of a significant winning margin have been given a major boost. Sportsmail revealed on Wednesday that the Italian skipper had just a '30-40 per cent' chance of being fit for the tie at the Stadio Olimpico, where it was yesterday confirmed that he will play no part because of soft tissue damage to his foot. Howley thinks his side's opening 15 minutes against Ireland was their best display since 2008 . The much less experienced Samuela Vunisa has replaced the Azzurri No 8. He will line up against Toby Faletau but - despite being connected to Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale \u2013 the Welshman does not share Howley's view about following football's lead with fixture scheduling. 'I've not spoken to Gareth,' said Faletau. 'I'm not related to him; our girlfriends are sisters but that's about it. I watch the last couple of games in the football when it gets exciting. I would rather have it this way round, but with us playing last. It's not the case this time, but it's exciting for the players who play the first game, because they can watch the other games and wait in anticipation.' Bale often sends messages of support for the Welsh rugby team through Twitter, while Faletau's nearest and dearest will also be keeping a close eye on how results unfold.

A report into the death of an A-grade student who killed himself days after being arrested for drink driving found 'evidence of a concerning culture' at the police station where he was held. Joe Lawton, 17, shot himself dead at his parent's \u00a3850,000 home in Disley, Stockport, two days after being held at Cheadle Heath police station for drink driving. During an inquest into his death, lawyers for his parents claimed that police had mocked him for his middle class upbringing and his new car, contributing to his death. Now an Independent Police Complaints Commission report into Mr Lawton's death, made public for the first time, confirms there were 'failings' at Cheadle Heath police station where the teen was held. The IPCC probe, which was kept hidden from the teen's inquest but has been revealed by the Manchester Evening News, uncovered 'evidence of a concerning culture' at Cheadle Heath. Following the report one Greater Manchester Police sergeant was moved from custody duty due to \u2018inappropriate behaviour\u2019, while another was given \u2018management advice\u2019, the report says. Two custody detention officers were also subjected to sanctions as a result of the investigation, according to a copy of the IPCC report obtained by the Manchester Evening News. Mr Lawton was stopped by police in Hazel Grove in August 2012 while driving his new Peugeot 207 home from a party, just weeks after passing his test. A breathalyzer showed he was over the drink drive limit and he was arrested. Lawyers for Mr Lawton's parents Nick and Jane (pictured) told an inquest their son was bullied for his middle class upbringing. The report, revealed today, found 'evidence of a concerning culture' among police . The teen, who had recently gained one A and four Bs in his AS-Levels and was working on his university application and travel plans, was then held for seven hours overnight. But due to an 'anomaly' in custody laws meaning 17-year-olds are treated as adults, Mr Lawton's parents Nick and Jane were not informed of the arrest after he opted not to tell them. Two days later he was found dead at home by his father. Next to the body was the police charge sheet, and a note saying he thought he had 'ruined his life'. His parents have since led a successful campaign to have the age limit raised to 18, after an inquest was told Mr Lawton's suicide could \u2018very likely\u2019 have been avoided if they were informed. The IPCC report, together with a response from Greater Manchester Police, were prepared in time for the inquest but were not submitted as evidence, meaning this is the first time they have been made public. Nick and Jane Lawton said the inquest was turned into a \u2018gruelling and frustrating\u2019 process by the police's failure to reveal the reports.

He said the $10million settlement was a 'truly outstanding result,' especially because McNair's past income was not large enough for his children to 'project a significant lost-wage claim'. According to DNAinfo, McNair, who was 62 at the time of his death, worked part-time at the Salvation Army when he wasn't doing stand-up gigs.

When the settlement was first announced in January, Zaslow said Walmart had 'accepted their responsibility' in the crash. 'They caused extensive damage to this family and more than stepped up to the plate and took care of this family,' he said. 'Ultimately they did the right thing by the McNairs.'

Now hungry burger-lovers keen to try his gourmet-influenced meat are travelling from far and wide to buy them. A new six-part Channel 4 programme, Burger Bar to Gourmet Star, put Carl Sampson, 27, under the tutelage of one of the country's top chefs, Daniel Clifford. What happened when the more humble end of the country's dining spectrum met with the higher echelons of British cookery? Top chef Daniel Clifford (left) tutored Carl Sampson (right) prompting him to turn his food van business around . Flipping great: Carl Sampson, 27, has seen his burgers fly off the shelves of his van after appearing in the television programme. Plans are afoot to sell burgers wholesale and even open a restaurant . Previously, Sampson made a living serving burgers to passing lorry drivers from a lay-by on the A38 near Worcester. By his own admission, the meat he presented, in a plain white bap, might have left burger aficionados running for the hills. His signature dish wasan artery-straining UFO burger, a carnivorous concoction that comprised four burgers, four sausages, eight rashers of bacon and, somewhere in between, eight squares of processed cheese. However, since his brush with the higher echelons of British cookery, word of mouth has seen people travel from all over the country to sample his fast food. He told the Worcestershire News: 'I\u2019ve had people travel from Chester, London and even Lincoln - that\u2019s a 125-mile trip - just to try them.' Chef Daniel Clifford admits he fully expected Sampson to wilt under the pressure and was amazed by the young chef's stoic attitude . His fortunes changed after an intense cookery lesson with respected chef Daniel Clifford of Midsummer House, Cambridge which prompted a culinary epiphany. The results? Hand-pressed 5oz burgers so in demand that Sampson often has to turn people away. So far, the chef admits he's tinkered with his popular new recipe, which includes rump and chuck steak, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce, more than thirty times. Chef Clifford admits the two men were operating in separate universes. 'I\u2019ve never stopped in one of these places in my life', says the chef as he arrives at the burger van in the show in his Audi. Sampson, whose previous experience as a cook amounted to a stint at McDonald's and working at a pub, was thrown into the deep end of the kitchen at Midsummer House. It was assumed he would falter under the pressure. Instead Sampson thrived on the one-on-one time with the chef and despite plenty of less-than-friendly words aimed in his direction, he saw the short apprenticeship through. Sampson is planning to sell his burgers wholesale after local farm shops flocked to stock them . Before his training at Midsummer House, Carl Sampson served up standard burgers from a below par butcher.

The Jerdon's Babbler (chrysomma altirostre altirostre) - a small brown bird similar in size to a house sparrow - was last spotted in Myanmar in 1941 and was thought to have died out altogether. But a team of scientists managed to uncover multiple birds nesting in a small area of grassland in Myanmar's central Bago region in May last year, according to their report published in the latest edition of Birding Asia. Re-discovered: The Jerdon's Babbler which was thought extinct for 73 years until scientists found evidence of it living in Burma . The scientists targeted some of the few remaining patches of wild grassland left along Myanmar's mighty Irrawaddy river, now one of the most heavily cultivated and densely populated regions of the impoverished but emerging southeast Asian nation. At one small patch of grassland near an abandoned agricultural station, the team heard what they thought could be the babbler's call. They then used a recording of a Jerdon's Babbler from the Indian subcontinent to see if the bird would show itself. Frank Rheindt, from the National University of Singapore, told AFP he was the first person to spot the bird during the survey, which was also carried out with members of the Wildlife Conservation Society and Myanmar's Nature and Wildlife Conservation Division. 'It was unbelievable,' he recalled. 'We played the sound recordings and one of the birds came up from the reed beds. Like many song birds in reed beds you hardly ever see them, they only come out to defend their territory when they hear a territorial call.' Further searches over the next two days uncovered more birds allowing researchers to obtain blood samples and photographs. But researchers warned that the bird's survival is still far from guaranteed given pressure on Myanmar's few remaining grasslands. 'This discovery not only proves that the species still exists in Myanmar but that the habitat can still be found as well,' Colin Poole, director of Wildlife Conservation Society's regional hub in Singapore, said in a statement. 'Future work is needed to identify remaining pockets of natural grassland and develop systems for local communities to conserve and benefit from them,' he added. Birds fly over the Moe Yun Gyi Wetlands in Bago Division, Myanmar, where Jerdon's Babbler was re-discovered 73 years after it was believed to be extinct . Rheindt said the area of grassland where the bird was found was very small, 'around 50-80 hectares' and that new chicken and fish farms were being built nearby. He added that its plumage and song were significantly different to how it had been described by ornithologists in the early twentieth century - leading the team to suspect that it may differ from threatened populations found in Nepal, India and Pakistan. His team now hope to conduct DNA tests to decide if it is a separate species.

A popular college graduate died this past weekend in Colorado, after his family say he took too many marijuana candies and killed himself. Luke Goodman, 23, of Tulsa, Oklahoma ate four times the prescribed amount of a peach tart marijuana edible candy in addition to a THC-laced red velvet cookie and proceeded to shoot himself in the head with a gun he brought on the trip for protection. Goodman's family say he was a charismatic and outgoing young man who never showed signs of depression or suicidal thoughts before. They blame his death solely on the edibles. 'It was 100 per cent the drugs. It was completely because of the drugs - he had consumed so much of it,' his mother Kim Goodman told CBS Denver. Goodman was on a two-week ski trip with his family and friends when his parents dropped him off at the bus stop Saturday to go snowboarding with his cousin, Caleb Fowler. Goodman's parents were on their way back to Tulsa, and their son was going to spend the rest of the trip with his cousin. During their day out, Goodman and Fowler went to Silverthorne where the two purchased $78 worth of pot and edibles. They then went back to their lodgings and proceeded to get high. Fowler says his cousin started off by eating two peach tart candies at the same time - despite the fact that the suggested dosage is just one candy. Each candy contains 10mg of THC - the active ingredient in marijuana. When Goodman didn't immediately feel the effects of the drug, he took two more and also ate red velvet cookie baked with marijuana (his cousin had three cookies).

The potent 10th century brew - used by Anglo Saxons to treat a stye (an abscess on the eyelid) destroyed 90 per cent of the bacteria on scraps of skin taken from mice with MRSA. Interestingly, the ingredients had little effect unless they were all brought together into the concoction, the study by Nottingham University researchers found. The garlic-based 'potion', listed in a thousand-year-old Anglo-Saxon manuscript, has been found to kill off the MRSA superbug . Nottingham University microbiologists Dr Freya Harrison and Dr Steve Diggle with the garlic-based 'potion' The ancient remedy, called Bald's eyesalve, originates from a manuscript in Bald's Leechbook - an Old English leatherbound volume in the British Library. The Leechbook is widely thought of as one of the earliest known medical textbooks and contains Anglo-Saxon medical advice and recipes for medicines, salves and treatments. After using the solution on lab animals with MRSA - one of the most antibiotic-resistant bugs costing modern health services billions - the researchers described their results as 'astonishing.' Associate Professor Dr Christina Lee, of the University of Nottingham, said: 'Medieval leech books and herbaria contain many remedies designed to treat what are clearly bacterial infections - weeping wounds and sores, eye and throat infections, skin conditions such as the erysipelas rash, leprosy and chest infections. A strain of the hospital superbug MRSA can be carried by pets and livestock, say scientists who have found evidence the infection can pass from animals to humans. Researchers at Cambridge University have found two separate cases where people were infected with the strain of infection, and livestock were found to be the cause. And genetic tests show cats and dogs have the same strain of the bacterium as people. It means MRSA could spread between animals at veterinary clinics in a similar way to hospital infections. But scientists at the university moved to reassure pet owners, adding there is very little risk of them falling ill as a result of an infection passed from their pets. It comes after cats passed TB to humans for the first time in an outbreak in Newbury, Berkshire last year, feared to have been caused by badgers. Two people from the same household were treated for bovine tuberculosis after they caught the disease from their kitten. 'Given these remedies were developed well before the modern understanding of germ theory, this poses two questions. 'How systematic was the development of these remedies and how effective were these remedies against the likely causative species of bacteria? 'Answering these questions will greatly improve our understanding of medieval scholarship and medical empiricism and may reveal new ways of treating serious bacterial infections that continue to cause illness and death.' The Anglo Saxon expert came up with the idea of trying out the recipe. It describes a very specific method of making the solution, including the use of a brass vessel to brew it in, a strainer to purify it and an instruction", "summary": "Bald's eyesalve is a 10th century brew used by Anglo Saxons to treat styes .

+{"article": "For anyone packing for their holidays this year, getting their clothes to fit neatly inside their bags is always a struggle. But robotics engineers have now come up with what they say is the best way to fold a variety of clothes into neat little rectangles. Their findings, of course, are intended to help a new generation of robots take on some of our more monotonous household chores. The diagram above shows the approach outlined by the scientists for folding a jumper or long sleeved t-shirt . However, their work has also revealed the most effective ways of folding clothing so it can be stacked and packed away that may also help humans too. They use a principal that they have called the 'g-fold' - where clothing is laid out on a flat surface and gravity is used to help assist the folding of clothing. It could be the ultimate home help - able to find your dirty clothes, wash them, and even fold them before neatly putting them away. The robot developed by researchers at the University of California Berkeley is able to wash and fold clothes, recognise different items so they can be folded neatly away. Using Willow Garage's $280,000 Personal Robot 2, the researchers have been able to get their robot to take washing out oa basket, place them in a washer. The semi-humanoid robot is 'roughly the size of a person' and features two arms, claw-like 'gripper' hands, a front-facing screen head, and a tilting Hokuyo laser scanner that continuously flaps up and down like an ever-chattering mouth. For a jumper, for example, they suggest folding the sleeves in half first at the elbow and then folding them in at the shoulders. They then suggest folding the body of the jumper into the middle from both sides before then folding it in half. With a pair of trousers they suggest folding them along the crotch and then down the middle. The approach is published in a research paper describing how domestic robots can help around the home. Dr Pieter Abbeel, an associate professor in computer science at the University of California Berkeley, and his colleagues who have been conducting the research, said they attempted to solve the problem of folding clothing by treating it as a problem of geometry. They said: 'Spread crudley on a table, real-world clothing items do not perfectly resemble simple polygons. 'They contain curves rather than straight lines, corners which are rounded rather than sharp, and small intricacies which no two articles of a given class will necessarily share. 'Rather than reason explicitly about these complex shapes, we wish to transpose them as best we can into a shape which we know how to fold.' The researchers have now used their findings to help develop a robot that is able to sort and fold laundry. They developed software that allowed the Willow Garage Personal Robot to grip clothes with claw like gripper hands and lay it out on a flat surface. This is the technique the engineers recommended for folding up a standard t-shirt", "summary": "Engineers at University of California Berkeley assessed folding techniques .

For a change the teenagers had no problems doing their homework as they'd obviously been studying the notorious Ms Ashton for quite a while. 'The boys were swarming around me, and I could hear them mentioning my work name under their breath,' Ms Ashton told New Idea magazine. 'Unfortunately, they'd been online and obviously knew just who I was.' Scroll down for video . Madison Ashton (pictured here at court in 2012) lost her appeal against the estate of the late cardboard billionaire, Richard Pratt, in February . It was an experience that she worried would have a bad effect on her 13-year-old son Xavier, but she had no need to worry. 'I asked what was going on and he said a few boys had told him: \"Hey your Mum's a prostitute.\" But he didn't take any notice,' she explained. 'He just went back to playing handball, because he thought they were d**kheads anyway. I was totally blown away by how brave and mature Xavier is.' Ms Ashton - who also has a 17-year-old daughter Indra - only tells Xavier that she goes to work and can't discuss it in detail because it involves adult services. The 40-year-old made it clear that she was always honest with her children about what she does and kept everything very 'matter-of-fact'. But considering her notoriety it's hard for her at times to stay out of the news. Last month she lost her appeal against the estate of billionaire Richard Pratt, who she said promised her millions. Ms Ashton launched an appeal against the 2012 decision to reject her bid for part of the cardboard king's estate. Ms Ashton said Mr Pratt had promised to set up two trust funds, worth $2.5 million each, for her two children and pay her $500,000 as a 'retainer' to stop working as an escort and become his mistress. Although the Supreme Court agreed the pair had the conversation, it found Ms Ashton's acceptance of $100,000 and the transfer of car into her name was done in full satisfaction of the trust claim. In November 2005, Ms Ashton signed a document from a employee of Mr Pratt's company, Visy Industries, that released Mr Pratt from any financial responsibility in exchange for a payment of $50,000 to the former mistress. Mr Pratt died in 2009. Billionaire Mr Pratt died in 2009 . Ms Ashton appeared before the Supreme Court of NSW in February but her case was dismissed . In appealing the decision, Ms Ashton sought a declaration that Mr Pratt's 2003 promises constituted a legally binding contract and anything she signed in November 2005 was void. She also sought damages from Mr Pratt's widdoe, Jeanne Pratt.

A Serbian woman asked doctors to vouch for her virginity after she was dogged by accusations of affairs with a former boss and other colleagues. Zumreta Strsevic, 30, chief accountant at the Cultural Centre in the western town of Prijepolje, said she was fed up with hearing rumours about her sex life come back to her. So she proved she didn't have one by commissioning a report from a gynaecologist which conclusively proved her virginity was still intact. It is now evidence in a claim against her workplace. 'It got so bad that it was becoming impossible to do the job properly,' she was quoted as saying by Central European News. 'So I decided the only way to prove I wasn't sleeping with other people I was supposedly having an affair with us to prove that actually I've never slept with anyone.' She told Serbian news website Blic that she realises the gynaecologist's findings means she will be subject to a new whispering campaign, but said she felt she had to do it to protect her honour. 'I don't care the price I'll pay to save face,' she said. 'I don't want to be drawn into their dirty games, and if they find any evidence of my alleged dishonest behaviour I'll leave work without saying anything.' Rumours about Miss Strsevic's sex life spread so far they were even brought up at a meeting of Prijepolje's Municipal Council, Blic reported. Miss Strsevic said the allegations were led by her current boss, who spread the rumours to colleagues. 'He accused me repeatedly over my alleged love affairs including one with a former director. When you make accusations like that, it sticks,' she said.

During my three years as a student I never saw anyone enter or leave that room, and imagined mountains of dusty books and documents, rambled by spiders, forgotten maps of a dead world. A ciste: Gaelic for burial chamber. Because the original meanings of place names are largely forgotten and ancient local names for hills, streams and bogs have fallen out of use, Robert Macfarlane performs a miracle of resurrection in his new book. Reviving a fascinating archive of old terms from Anglo-Saxon to Old Norse, he dances through the closed door of the past \u2014 a labour of love as well as learning. Original meanings of place names are largely forgotten and ancient local names for hills, streams and bogs have fallen out of use . For years he\u2019s been passionately engaged with the work of men and women who have written about the natural world, such as Richard Jefferies, Barry Lopez, Jacquetta Hawkes and Roger Deakin. These are his spiritual guides to the landscape he loves. For, as well as the milestones of the mind (those books and encounters which shape us), there are the landmarks all around us: from the smallest tussock to trees, rocks, beaches and hidden valleys. All of these were named by our ancestors with particular, peculiar and poetic terms which probably fell out of common use in the last 100 years. So, each chapter describes the work of one or two writers who have shaped Macfarlane\u2019s thinking, and takes us on an imaginary walk into their worlds. And then comes a \u2018glossary\u2019, lists of names for things specific to one aspect of landscape. These lists are fascinating. For example, eit: a tiny word from the Isle of Lewis with a huge meaning: \u2018The practice of placing quartz stones in moorland streams so they would sparkle in the moonlight and thereby attract salmon to them in the late summer and autumn.\u2019 People in Essex used to call you \u2018watery-headed\u2019 if you were anxious about rain. And how about the glorious list of words for icicle: aquabob (Kent), clinkerbell and conkerbell (Dorset), daggler and dagglet (Hampshire), ickle (Yorkshire) and shuckle (Cumbria). Macfarlane says: \u2018This is a book about the power of language \u2014 strong style, simple words \u2014 to shape our sense of place.\u2019 He begins and ends this impressive and unusual book with children \u2014 which is as it should be. For who else will inherit the Earth? Like many of us, he was deeply shocked when the new edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary left out words no longer seen as \u2018relevant\u2019 to modern childhood, including acorn, bluebell, buttercup, catkin, conker, dandelion, fern, heather, heron, ivy, lark, mistletoe, newt, otter, pasture and willow. That\u2019s why Macfarlane ends by describing a thrilling project with primary school children given free access to explore a park in winter.

Iraqi officials say government forces have defused dozens of the devices in the course of their war with the fanatics and have produced video footage which backs up their claim. One Iraqi bomb disposal expert said that the use of the chemical is a sign of desperation. Crude roadside bombs filled with chlorine gas are now being used by Isis terrorists, it has been reported . Haider Taher told the BBC: 'They're resorting to this new method, putting chlorine in these home-made roadside bombs, which is toxic to those that inhale it.' He described how his team detonated a bomb in Tikrit that, unbeknown to them, contained chlorine. They immediately began feeling the effects of the chemical, experiencing 'painful choking' and blocked throats. The BBC has been shown footage of bright yellow gas rising up from a roadside bomb explosion that the Iraqis say is chlorine, as well as film of the Tikrit explosion. Jennifer Cole, Senior Research Fellow at defence thinktank Royal United Services Institute, told MailOnline that although chlorine can be lethal, it does appear that it's being used to spread fear by Isis. She said: 'Chlorine is easily available from a number of industrial sources and is very hazardous \u2013 causing breathing difficulties in particular and in extreme cases prolonged exposure can kill. 'Used in roadside bombs such as this, in the open air, it disperses reasonably quickly and so appears to be intended to cause panic rather than serious harm.' She added: 'There is no doubt that public perception often sees chemical weapons such as this as more dangerous than conventional weapons such as explosives, even though it may not be the case that a chlorine bomb could cause more harm. In fact, the most damage is likely to be done by the explosion created to disperse it.' Chlorine was used by the British in the First World War, but it proved to be unreliable. In one attack in 1915 the gas blew back into British trenches after canisters of the chemical were fired from heavy guns at the Germans. Shocking: This footage purportedly shows toxic chlorine gas which was released from a roadside bomb destroyed by Iraqi soldiers in Tikrit recently . The use of chlorine bombs by Isis (pictured) is a sign of desperation, one expert told the BBC . The U.N. Security Council recently approved a United States-drafted resolution that condemns the use of toxic chemicals such as chlorine in Syria, while threatening militarily enforced action in the case of further violations. All members of the 15-seat council approved the resolution except for Venezuela, which abstained. The resolution follows last month's condemnation by the world's chemical weapons watchdog of the use of chlorine in Syria as a breach of international law.

Winger Ribery was criticised recently by Bayern head coach Pep Guardiola for his tendency to react angrily to on-field provocations, and Beckenbauer is worried that a failure to control his temper could end up costing his team. He is also worried that a similar risk exists with midfielder Boateng. 'Ribery is often dealt with pretty roughly. But that does not mean he can afford to lose his temper, even if he is often provoked,' Beckenbauer told Sky, 'People know that he often reacts. It's the same thing with Boateng.'

Beckenbauer said, 'Guardiola does not need a contract. He is the type of coach who comes and goes whenever he wants.

But she was unprepared for the adulation she received while filming a biopic about Mother Teresa in the slums of India. As she passed through the slums, locals dropped to the ground believing the Nobel Peace Prize winner had been brought back to life to care for the poor. Scroll down for video . Juliet Stevenson was treated like a saint while filming a biopic on the Nobel Peace Prize winner Mother Teresa . Stevenson, who is not a Christian, was wary of taking on the role but said it had been a 'wonderful challenge' Stevenson told The Observer: 'I was filming in her iconic white sari with the blue stripes. 'People would come up to me, drop and touch my hem...in India, she's still revered. She lifted tens of thousands of people off the streets and into her care.' Stevenson, who starred in films such as Truly, Madly, Deeply, The Politician's Wife and Accused, is heading the cast of the forthcoming feature film about Mother Teresa, The Letters. The biopic explores the life of the saint through letters she wrote to her longtime friend and spiritual advisor, Father Celeste van Exem over a nearly 50-year period. The letters, published in 2007, revealed her crisis of faith and the torment of feeling Jesus had abandoned her. Mother Teresa, who died in 1997 aged 87, became one of the 20th century's most influential religious figures. She founded an international order - the Missionaries of Charity - in the slums of Calcutta dedicated to the poor, disabled and dying. She won the Noble Peace Prize in 1979 for her role in founding the order and by the time of her death, it had grown to more than 4,000 sisters running orphanages, hospices and charity centres in 133 countries. The film partly draws on Mother Teresa's secret letters, published in 2007 revealing her crisis of faith . The biopic will be released this year in the hope it coincides with Mother Teresa's canonisation . Stevenson, who is not religious, was initially wary of taking on the role but said it had been a 'wonderful challenge'. To perfect the role, Stevenson watched and listened 'endlessly' to historic recordings of Mother Teresa. She told The Observer: 'It was very daunting, because I'm so wrong for her. I'm 5ft 8in, quite strongly built. I'm not in any way miniature (Mother Teresa was only 5ft). 'I don't have a religious faith and she believed so ardently in God. I also couldn't differ from her more when it comes to her views on women's rights, birth control and abortion...but it was a wonderful challenge.' There was an early screening of The Letters at the Vatican, at the International Catholic film festival last year.

In between times, Norwich were stretched to stay on terms in a lively contest and eventually fell behind to Ishmael Miller after the break. But substitute Wes Hoolahan slipped home from close range within five minutes of leaving the bench to round off a fine move triggered by Nathan Redmond. The Johnson no-goal was a big talking point. He knocked the ball in almost on the line after Cameron Jerome had headed goalwards from Redmond's fine run and cross. There was no flag from assistant referee Lisa Radhid but Miller was prompted to consult her amid strong Huddersfield protests. The upshot was a booking for Johnson whose team mate Jerome was later lucky to escape at least a yellow for clattering over Tommy Smith.

But one of its bosses has unexpectedly backed the practice, causing outrage among supporters of the group. Some threatened to cancel their membership while others spoke of their \u2018disappointment\u2019. The row began when Martin Harper, conservation director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, wrote a blog saying the charity supported \u2018progressive\u2019 shoots as they were good for the countryside. Mr Harper wrote: \u2018Yes, we condemn wildlife crime including any persecution of protected birds of prey. \u2018And yes, we continue to work with the police to end illegal killing which remains prevalent in the uplands, threatening the future of hen harrier, and still occurs on some lowland estates. \u2018But, the contribution progressive shoots can make to supporting threatened wildlife is significant, and we are delighted to help them further.\u2019 Defending his view on the topic, Mr Harper went on to write: \u2018This isn\u2019t a contradiction. We simply do whatever nature needs and will work with anyone that wants to help wildlife.\u2019 He added that pheasant shoots were responsible for creating or maintaining 7,000 hectares of hedgerows.

The figure includes pheasants and partridges and is now believed to be higher still. The RSPB estimates the total to be 50million.

Some are the remains of dead stars that have expelled their gas, whereas others are regions where new stars are being formed. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There are four main types: planetary nebulae, reflection nebulae, absorption nebulae and emission nebulae. The two brightest are extremely hot and giant stars, which provide illumination for a nearby emission nebula called the Rim Nebula, or NGC 6188.

Arias, a 34-year-old former waitress from Salinas, California, was found guilty of the murder in 2013, but jurors at the original trial deadlocked on whether to give her the death penalty.

He had been stabbed multiple times, his throat was cut almost from ear to ear, and he had been shot in the face. Sheriff Joe Arpaio revealed Arias used the jails video system to tell two 15-year-old admirers they should use fake ID's so they could keep talking with her on the jail video call system. 'The mother told the girls to stop, and evidently the girls got back on and Arias advised them to get some phony ID's so they could get back on there because you have to be 18-years-old,' he said.

Scroll down for videos . The lead coffin, inlaid with a crucifix (top) was found just feet from the remains of Richard III. Inside was the skeleton of a woman who is thought to have died in her 60s about 200 years before the Plantagenet king . She was one of nine women found to have been buried within the medieval complex around the hastily dug final resting place of Richard III. However, radiocarbon dating shows she may been buried not long after the church was first built 1250 - nearly two centuries before Richard III died. The blow that killed King Richard III in battle was so powerful that it went up through the base of his brain and left an indentation on the inside of his skull, scientists studying his remains have revealed. Forensic pathologists at University of Leicester, discovered two wounds at the base of the king's skull along with a large indentation inside the cranium. The findings suggest that a weapon such as a sword or a spike had been thrust upwards through the base of the king's neck so hard that it had gone straight through his brain to the other side of his skull. Genetic analysis of the battle scarred skeleton, discovered under a council car park in Leicester three years ago, has confirmed that it did belong to Richard III. Scientists studying the remains believe the king was surrounded by a mob of enemy soldiers and hacked to death after he had lost his helmet. Using modern medical scanners, they established that the English monarch suffered 11 devastating injuries at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. Analysis of isotopes preserved in her remains by researchers at the University of Leicester has shown that the woman was show that she had lived a privileged life, eating plenty of protein and large amounts of sea fish.

His office issued a statement confirming the news 'with deep sadness', saying he had suffered only a 'brief illness'. 'We appreciate that this will be a shock to all who knew and loved him, but ask that the family be left in peace at this difficult time,' it said. Mr Fraser was prime minister from November 1975 until March 1983. He controversially came to power as caretaker prime minister following the dismissal of Labor leader Gough Whitlam by Governor-General Sir John Kerr. Mr Fraser's party had blocked the supply of money for the government in the Senate, forcing the constitutional crisis. Gough Whitlam would dub Fraser 'Kerr's cur', although, perhaps in a sign of Mr Fraser's compassion, the two would have a rapprochement later in life.

Following his defeat by Labor's Bob Hawke in 1983, Mr Fraser became known as an outspoken advocate of asylum seekers.

In the picture Kerber's route appears as a glowing red line running down from the top of the 10,000-foot Titlis mountain in the resort town of Engelberg in central Switzerland to the bottom.

And just to show how dangerous jumping with the wingsuit was, Kerber made the flight during the day, showing how a wrong turn would easily have sent him crashing into one of the rocky crags that he was flying close to as he hurtled down from the mountain top. He said: 'I wanted to do a wingsuit BASE flight at night during winter for a very long time. But somehow I never really managed to do it.' The idea became reality when they decided to try and do a single photograph on a slow shutter speed and at the same time fit a light to the jumper so that the flight down the mountain could be recorded. The first problem was that it was difficult to find a light that was bright enough to be seen from a distance of one mile away, where the camera needed to be placed. They solved it, though, by using two superheated emergency flares. These also provided some light to help illuminate the way, although the intense heat also posed a risk that they might set the suit on fire. Patrick said: 'We used flares exactly like the ones used for rescue missions or emergencies. But flares burn very, very hot and my biggest fear was burning holes or melting the suit.

Messi, who helped his side to an emphatic 6-1 win on Sunday, has now scored 40 goals or more in each of his last six seasons.

Kane's rise has been mesmeric. The 21-year-old run riot in his side's Europa League campaign, helped his side seal a spot in the Capital One Cup final and has played a major role in Tottenham's quest to finish in the top four. He is also likely to earn his first senior England call-up later this month when Roy Hodgson, who was at Loftus Road on Saturday, names his squad to face Lithuania and Italy. Mauricio Pochettino heaped praise on his star striker after his side's 2-1 win against QPR by calling the Tottenham star 'fantastic' but stressed there is room for improvement. Cristiano Ronaldo is three goals behind Messi having scored 39 goals during the course of the season .

'He is young, can improve more and now it is Roy's decision. 'I don't know if (he deserves a call-up). Roy needs to decide whether this it time to pick him or not. 'I think that today was a great game, a great performance. We showed character, I am very pleased for our players.' Alexandre Lacazette, who has been linked with a summer move to England, follows closely behind Kane and Neymar, having scored 25 goals for French outfit Lyon.

The Sentencing Council published plans yesterday recommending that a dog owner receive a lesser sentence if the animal was provoked into the attack. An owner could also avoid prison if they tried to get their dog under control before its victim died, or if the animal killed while they were momentarily distracted or briefly lost control. Owners of vicious dogs will not be jailed if their killer animal was provoked into an attack, under proposed changes to sentencing (file picture) The changes will now be subject to a three-month consultation period. The Council is led by Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas and sets down rules that judges and magistrates must abide by. Its report said that new guidelines are necessary to deal with the new law and guide the courts on cases \u2018of the utmost seriousness involving a fatality\u2019. However, critics accused the changes of undermining the Dangerous Dogs Act, put into force last year, which increased the maximum sentence a dog owner whose pet kills can receive to 14 years. The reformed law was brought in after 14-year-old Jade Anderson was mauled to death by four dogs when she visited a friend\u2019s house in 2013. But the plans published yesterday say that if the dog owner or handler has \u2018lesser culpability\u2019 then a deadly attack by their animal could lead to a community sentence rather than a prison term if they are convicted under the Act. Jade Anderson, 14, was mauled to death by four dogs in 2013, prompting the introduction of the Dangerous Dogs Act . Such a sentence could mean less than a month\u2019s unpaid work or four months of electronic tagging. The proposals recommend that the maximum sentence might go to \u2018someone who has bred or trained a dog to be aggressive and uses the dog as a weapon or to intimidate people, whose dog carries out a fatal attack\u2019. Evidence of lesser culpability, the consultation paper said, would include the provocation of the dog without any fault on the part of the owner. It would also bring a lesser sentence if the owner tried to restrain the animal, had tried to control it, could not have foreseen the attack, or had a momentary lapse of control or attention. Circuit Judge Julian Goose, a member of the Sentencing Council, said: \u2018Most dog owners are responsible, care for their pets properly and keep them under control but some irresponsible owners put others at risk of injury or death and we want to ensure that the courts have the guidance needed to help them sentence offenders appropriately. \u2018In drawing up our proposals, we have been very aware of the potentially devastating impact of these offences on victims.

+{"article": "A new technique that involves folding the stomach into pleats is being tested as a potentially less risky form of weight-loss surgery. It involves no incisions, the entire procedure can be done via a tube passed down the throat and the patient can go home the same day. Weight-loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, is available on the NHS to those who are morbidly obese with a body mass index (BMI) of over 40 \u2014 or to those who have a BMI of 35 to 40, but whose weight is causing a serious, obesity-related health complaint, such as type 2 diabetes. Scroll down for video . The new surgery does not require any incisions to be made and involves folding the stomach into pleats, shrinking it and preventing it expanding to accommodate food . Thousands already have the surgery each year and, recently, the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence proposed that those newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who have a BMI of 30 or above should be considered for it, too. Currently, the procedures most often performed involve using a gastric band that reduces the stomach size, so less food is needed to make you feel full, or a gastric bypass. This involves re-routing the stomach to join a lower section of the intestines, reducing the size of the stomach and bypassing part of the small intestine, cutting the amount of calories and nutrients absorbed. The other option is a sleeve gastrectomy, involving removal of part of the stomach. However, these all involve incisions in the abdomen, which carries risk of infection (affecting around one in 20), blood clots in the legs or lungs and internal bleeding, each of which affects around one in 100. Patients also need to stay in hospital for a least a night, if not longer. The new technique, called Primary Obesity Surgery Endolumenal, is less invasive and, researchers say, causes less post-operative pain, has reduced risk of infection and leaves no external scars. The surgeon works through a tube or endoscope, which goes down the throat into the stomach. Once in place, it is used to gather up the stomach wall and lining. A stitch is pushed through the gathered tissue and \u2018anchors\u2019 placed on either side to hold the fold in place. The process is repeated, making several folds to shrink the stomach and prevent it expanding to accommodate food. The technique has already been tested in small trials in Europe. In a Spanish study, 22 patients reported feeling full faster after the procedure and, after a year, had lost an average 62 per cent of their excess weight. Most returned to work without bandages or signs of surgery within two to three days, unlike traditional bariatric surgery, where it can take weeks or months to resume normal activities. In a Spanish study, most of the patients returned to work without bandages or any signs of having had the surgery within two to three days (file image) Around 300 people are now taking part in a new trial to further test its efficacy", "summary": "It is called Primary Obesity Surgery Endolumenal and is far less invasive .

Move the slider below to see an image of the southern sky before and after the new dwarf galaxies are added . Astronomers have found nine new dwarf galaxies in orbit around the Milky Way. They are the first to be discovered orbiting our galaxy in more than a decade. This image shows the previously known Magellanic Clouds with six of the nine newly discovered dwarf galaxies above the Paranal Observatory in Chile . The discovery was made by a team of astronomers at the University of Cambridge using data from the Dark Energy Survey, a five-year project to photograph the southern sky in extreme detail. The nine dwarf galaxies were spotted in the night sky in the southern hemisphere, near the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud, which are the largest dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way's orbit. Astronomers have discovered that a strange ring of distant stars may actually be part of our galaxy, making it 50 per cent bigger at 150,000 light-years wide. This is based on re-analysis of a distant ring that surrounds our galaxy, which the astronomers think is now actually part of it, and could have been disturbed by other dwarf galaxies. The team of scientists from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York studied the Monoceros Ring, which is a long ring-like filament of stars that \u2018wraps\u2019 around our galaxy three times. \u2018The discovery of so many satellites in such a small area of the sky was completely unexpected,' said Dr Sergey Koposov of Cambridge\u2019s Institute of Astronomy, the study\u2019s lead author. \u2018I could not believe my eyes.\u2019 The newly discovered objects are each a billion times dimmer than the Milky Way, and a million times less massive.

Dwarf galaxies are the smallest galaxy structures in the universe, and can contain as few as 5,000 stars - whereas the Milky Way has around 200 billion. Importantly, though, they are thought to contain 99 per cent dark matter and just one per cent observable matter. This means they should be useful to test cosmological theories of dark matter, which makes up 25 per cent of all matter in the universe but is yet to be detected. \u2018Dwarf satellites are the final frontier for testing our theories of dark matter,\u2019 said Dr Vasily Belokurov of the Institute of Astronomy, one of the study\u2019s co-authors. \u2018We need to find them to determine whether our cosmological picture makes sense. Finding such a large group of satellites near the Magellanic Clouds was surprising, though, as earlier surveys of the southern sky found very little, so we were not expecting to stumble on such treasure.\u2019 The", "summary": "University of Cambridge astronomers have found new nine dwarf galaxies in orbit around the Milky Way . They are the first to be discovered orbiting the Milky Way in a decade since dozens were found in 2005 and 2006 . There are nine in total, ranging in distance from 95,000 to 1.2 million light-years . Each is a billion times dimmer and a million times less massive than the Milky Way, and contain much fewer stars .

Blind: The Japanese woman, 72, has been blind for two years due to a condition called retinitis pigmentosa . Dr. Gregg Kokame, who performed the operation, said that the bionic eye will help the woman start to see motion and different shades of grey. 'She'll actually start to see motion, actually start to see somebody walk into the room and be able to see different shades of grey,' Kokame said. The device which was approved by the food and drug administration costs $144,000 but was covered by Medicare for the patient, reported ABC. Before the surgery the woman was only able to perceive some light and was otherwise totally blind. The surgical team restored the woman's vision by implanting a microelectrode array to the surface of the woman's retina that then connects wirelessly to a camera connected to a pair of glasses. The woman will not able to see very close details or any color but she may someday have a broader range of vision as the technology advances.

Pierre Le Guennec, 74, and Danielle, 73, were given a suspended prison sentence of two years by a court in the French Riviera town of Grasse. Both had insisted that they were all 'presents' from the legendary Spanish artist, but the court found they were 'fraudulently obtained' and ordered them to be returned to his family. Pierre Le Guennec (right) and his wife Danielle wait for the verdict of their trial. The court today found the couple were found guilty of stashing the 'fraudulently obtained' artwork . The couple address the media following the verdict, in which they were ordered to return the Picasso treasures and given a suspended prison sentence of two years . It was in November 2010 that 271 lithographs, cubist paintings, notebooks and a watercolour were found at their modest home in Mouans-Sartoux, in the South of France. But six of Picasso's descendants accused them of the crime, and will now take charge of the works. During the trial, all 271 works, created between 1900 and 1932, were beamed onto a giant screen inside the court. Le Guennec claimed he was given the collection by the artist and his second wife, Jacqueline, when he was an odd job man at their home in Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, near Cannes. Le Guennec, a qualified electrician, installed a burglar alarm at the luxury villa before the artist died in 1973, and said he accepted them as 'thank you' gifts. Referring to Picasso, Mr Le Guennec said he 'often invited me in to have some cake or a coffee. Me and the master talked about all things great and small. 'One evening, I was leaving my work, when Madame handed me a little package saying: 'This is for you'. But Claude Picasso, the artist's son, said that his father was noted for his generosity, but that he always dedicated, dated and signed his gifts, as he knew that some recipients might try to sell the works one day. Two of the newly discovered Picasso drawings, one in a notebook (above left), and the other called 'Nature Morte Verre' (Still life Glass) Jean-Jacques Neuer, Claude Picasso's barrister, said: 'They don't remember whether they received the so called gift in 1970, 71 or 72. If you are given 271 Picassos, you remember it. 'You have to imagine that Picasso kept hold of them for 70 years and suddenly decided to give the lot away. That's doesn't make sense.' The only document with the name Le Guennec on is a signed brochure for a Picasso exhibition, said Mr Neuer. 'When you give a present, you choose something precise that fits the person,' said Mr Neuer. 'Picasso here is giving away works that have nothing to do with each other - notably extremely precious cubist collages that represent 10 per cent of his production,' he said.

One of three teenagers who admitted that they sexually assaulted a 15-year-old Northern California girl who later committed suicide has settled a wrongful-death lawsuit brought by her parents - because he said sorry. In 2012, Audrie Pott fell asleep after drinking Gatorade laced with alcohol at a friend's party in their hometown of Saratoga. She awoke to find her pants off and lewd comments scribbled over her body. Her family says she hanged herself days later after learning cellphone photos were taken of her during the assault and shared through text messages. Three of Audrie's teenage classmates were prosecuted in private juvenile proceedings and sentenced to between 30 and 45 days in juvenile hall. Two continue to attend Saratoga High, while the third transferred to high school about an hour south in Gilroy. Audrie's parents, Lawrence and Sheila Pott, filed a civil lawsuit against the boys to hold them more accountable for their actions. Their attorney, Bob Allard, said the parents decided to settle with one of the teens because he showed remorse and 'told the truth' about what happened to Audrie. 'He's accepted responsibility. He's told us the truth of what happened in that room. The others have not,' Allard said. 'They're still standing by their claim that Audrie was awake and consented to their acts.' Anger: Larry Pott and and Audrie's stepmother and his second wife Lisa, are continuing their lawsuit against two of their daughter's attackers after one admitted and apologized . Grieving: Audrie's mother, Sheila Pott, found her daughter hanging in the bathroom in September 2012 . Tormentors: The three teenagers (pictured with their faces obscured) pleaded guilty to sexual assault last year and were sentenced to 30-45 days in a juvenile detention facility . Allard said that had the two other teens apologized, they might not have been sued. 'If they had simply knocked on the door of the Pott household, apologized, accepted responsibility and jumped headfirst into our quest to educate our youth by, for example, speaking at high schools about the mistakes they made and how this can be prevented, there would be no civil lawsuit,' Allard said. Audrie's parents led the campaign to pass a California law which allows prosecutors to seek harsher sentences for juvenile sex offenders who take pictures of their crimes and use them to bully the victims.

However, they added that ISIS 'continues to defy the will of the world and the feelings of humanity.' The ancient city of Nimrud was the second capital of Assyria, an ancient kingdom that began in 900BC, partially in present day Iraq, and became a great regional power.

In the late 1980s the discovery of treasures in Nimrud's royal tombs was one of the 20th century's most significant archaeological finds. After Iraq was invaded in 2003, archaeologists were relieved to find the treasures had been hidden in the country's central bank inside a vault submerged in sewage water.

Three hundred ShotSpotter microphones are being placed in high crime areas of the Bronx and Brooklyn, with the aim of alerting police immediately when they overhear the sound of gunshots. However, the devices pick up more that just the bang of shots being fired in potential crimes, and evidence from conversations they've listened in on has been used in court. Scroll down for video . New York City's pilot program using ShotSpotter's microphone technology began last week in the Bronx. Above, Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks about the system . The ShotSpotter system works by sending a few seconds of audio to police departments along with location information after a potential gunshot system makes it through a filtering process . Audio recordings from ShotSpotter have been used to corroborate testimony that led to convictions in a 2011 Massachusetts murder where a voice was heard shouting 'No Jason, no Jason!' before shots were fired. NYPD officials and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a pilot program for the microphones earlier this week. Sensors in seven districts of the Bronx have already begun working, and the devices will be turned on in ten districts of Brooklyn on Monday, according to the New York Times. 'This gunshot detection system is going to do a world of good in terms of going after the bad guys,' de Blasio said. The devices are thought to help police respond more quickly and help authorities pin point the exact location of shootings after potential gunshot recordings are sent through the company's headquarters in California. ShotSpotter says that its devices 'are specifically designed to be triggered by loud explosive or 'impuslive' sounds only.' Three microphones must be triggered to start an alert and triangulate a location. The company says that human voices, slamming car doors and loud music will not trigger the microphones, which then send summary data about a sound to the company. The ShotSpotter system (above) filters out noises such as car door slams and yelling before sending alerts to the police . Recordings of a human voice captured by the ShotSpotter system were used to get a conviction in a Massachusetts murder case . It states that there is no 'live streaming' of any microphones apart from the few seconds of regular audio sent to its employees for further analysis about whether the sound may have been a firecracker or a gunshot. An alert, location data and a few seconds of audio are then sent to local police. The restrictions on triggering events have not stopped some privacy advocates from saying that evidence procured by the ShotSpotters may violate the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. 'If [ShotSpotter] is recording voices out in public, it needs to be shut down,' the ACLU's Jay Stanley told Take Part. He said his organization is 'always concerned about secondary uses of technology that is sold to us for some unobjectionable purpose and is then used for other purposes.'

Miss McKenzie - described as a devoted mother-of-two by her family - was taken to the intensive care unit at Hope Hospital in Salford with massive skull trauma and brain injuries but she died two days later. Nicola McKenzie, 37, (pictured) was described by her family as a devoted mother of two - she was killed following the brutal attack on September 17 last year in Moss Side, Manchester . Bryan initially fled the scene, but contacted police a short time later and was arrested. He claimed Miss McKenzie had attacked him with a knife and he struck the fatal blow accidentally in self-defence, but no knife was recovered at the scene. He was found guilty of murder at an earlier hearing. Diana Ellis, QC, defending, said her client was 'fully aware' of the impact of his actions, adding: 'No one wishes more that the clock could turned back.' Sentencing Bryan to a minimum of 20 years at Manchester Crown Court today, Judge Michael Henshall said: 'Nicola McKenzie was a young woman in the prime of her life and the mother of two children of who you are the father. 'The effects of the events on that day in front of those children is almost uncountable.' The incident occurred on Cadogan street (pictured) in Moss Side, Manchester on September 17, 2014 . After the case, senior investigating officer Duncan Thorpe of Greater Manchester Police said: 'This was a tragic incident where the life of a woman was sadly cut short in brutal fashion by a man she was once close to.

+{"article": "A couple accused of claiming \u00a342,500 in benefits while sending their children to a top private school and living in a \u00a31,950 a month house were cleared today. Judge William Hart threw out the case against Leslie and Sarah Grant because the Department of Work and Pensions lost letters written by Mr Grant that would have supported his case. The 67-year-old from Cheltenham insisted he had written to the DWP notifying them of a change in his financial circumstances. During the trial the Government department denied ever receiving these letters but in evidence yesterday Tracey Tye, a DWP investigator, conceded there was a computer record of letters being received from him. Cleared: Sarah and Leslie Grant were accused of claiming \u00a342,000 of benefits while getting an income from businesses and \u00a350,000 in the bank - but the DWP lost a series of important letters, collapsing the case . She said they could not be accessed to check their contents because they had been \u2018archived\u2019 and were not longer retrievable. Judge Hart ruled that because the prosecution was unable to produce the letters to show whether they contained what Mr Grant alleged it would be unsafe to leave the case to the jury. He directed the jury to find the couple not guilty of defrauding the DWP between 2009 and 2011. The couple had been accused of falsely claiming \u00a342,500, consisting of \u00a319,000 of pension benefit, \u00a319,000 of housing benefit and \u00a34,500 of council tax benefit to fund their lifestyle. Sarah Grant, also received a \u00a340,000 payment from her parents and was drawing income as a director of three companies during the time she and husband Leslie, 67, were claiming benefits, Gloucester Crown Court heard. Mr and Mrs Grant say they were penniless as a number of businesses went bust and needed state support. This was received while Mrs Grant got money from her mum, there was income from the pair's businesses and business account were being used for personal expenditure, it was said. Prosecutors also say they had around \u00a350,000 in the bank, but today a second forensic accountant told the court she felt that the Grants had no income entering their bank accounts. Mr Grant, 67, had been receiving pension credit since November 2007, despite running his wife's companies, Hadleigh Partnership, Hadleigh Development and Sarafino Ltd, prosecutors claim. Funds were used to sent their children to Dean Close School in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and to pay for expensive child care and high rent. Investigations into their affairs began when questions were raised about how they were able to pay \u00a31,950 a month rent with just \u00a3775 a month housing allowance. Mrs Grant was questioned by benefit officials in May 2010 and said that her parents had paid the rent shortfalls and school fees.

A team of US researchers studied the impact that starting kindergarten has on children born 60 days before, and 60 days after the cut-off start date. And they found these negative outcomes are significantly more likely for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Children who are are older when they start kindergarten (a stock image is shown) are more likely to do well academically and socially in the short-term, but are also more likely to abandon their studies and commit crimes when they are teenagers, a new study has claimed . Philip Cook, a professor in Duke University\u2019s Sanford School of Public Policy and lead author of the study, said: \u2018This research provides the first compelling evidence of a causal link between dropout and crime. \u2018It supports the view that crime outcomes should be considered in evaluating school reforms. \u2018Dropouts are greatly over-represented in prison, so we know there is a strong association between dropping out and crime. \u2018But to establish causation requires an experiment. My analysis takes advantage of nature's experiment associated with birth date.\u2019 Professor Cook and Songman Kang of Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea carried out the research, published in American Economic Journal-Applied Economics. It is said to be the first study to link dropping out of school, and crime. The study compared North Carolina public school students born 60 days before, and 60 days after the school cut-off date. At the time of the study, children in the state had to turn five by October 16 to be eligible to enter kindergarten that year. Old-for-grade students are more likely to be convicted of a crime before age 20, the study said. A stock image of a young drink driver is shown . Children typically attend kindergarten when they are five or six year's old. Previous studies have established that children born just after the school-entry cut-off date and are \u2018old for grade,\u2019 perform better academically than their younger classmates. This has led to some parents trying to gain an academic advantage for children whose birthdays fall shortly before the cut-off date, by enrolling them later. In addition to performing better academically, Professor Cook's study found old-for-grade students were one-third less likely to engage in delinquent behaviour while still in school. \u2018Up until the 16th birthday, it is all positive,\u2019 he said. \u2018They are doing better, relative to their classmates, by every measure. 'It makes sense, because they are more mature.\u2019 However, after the age of 16, the picture shifts. The old-for-grade students are more likely to drop out and be convicted of a crime before age 20, the study said. The explanation for the behavioural change lies in the age at which students may legally withdraw from school, which is 16 in North Carolina. \u2018If they were born before the cut-off date, they have just 19 months between their 16th birthday and graduation to be tempted to", "summary": "Research looked at children starting kindergarten in North Carolina .

In 2006, Edith Macefield took a stand against developers by staying in the house in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood where she had lived in for almost 60 years despite being offered money to leave so new retail and office space could be created. Both she and the 1,000 square foot house became a symbol of standing up to corporate giants after developers were forced to awkwardly build around it. Scroll down for video . The house was often compared to the house in the Pixar movie 'Up' where an elderly man refuses to leave his house to go into a nursing home so turns it into an airship by attaching balloons to it . The world famous 'holdout house' where an elderly woman took a stand against developers forcing them to build around her home, is to be auctioned off this Friday . In 2006 Edith Macefield, 84, was offered $1 million in cash and help with healthcare and housing to sell her home to developers of a retail center in the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard . The story mirrored the plot of the Disney Pixar movie Up, which sees an elderly man refuse to leave his house to go into a nursing home so he turns it into a makeshift airship by attaching balloons to it. However, Ms Macefield passed away from pancreatic cancer in June 2008, leaving the house boarded up and empty. Tomorrow it will be entered into a foreclosure auction, where it is expected to be bought by developers and demolished. It comes after a friend she left the house to sold it to a company called Reach Returns, who planned to keep it in tact for a new project. But when the company started work, they weren't able to get the financing they needed and defaulted on their loans, meaning it went into foreclosure. The row with developers came after the neighborhood of Ballard, just across Salmon Bay from Seattle, held out against the forces of gentrification until 2000 when developers came knocking. Condominiums and shopping malls for tech-industry workers began to spring up where once modest family homes had once stood. By 2006, Ms Macefield's home stood almost alone, her neighbors long gone, as developers prepared to build Ballard Blocks, a retail and office development. She was offered $1 million in cash for her property, in addition to assistance with housing and healthcare. But she turned down the money for the simple reason that she did not want to leave. Macefield refused to leave her home of 50 years, and construction began on the development that would end up surrounding her house and garden .

But in September a judge threw out the case - and on Friday ruled that there will not be a retrial as planned. Instead, prosecutors are now investigating attempted murderer Rodney Halbower as a suspect in the case. Release: Cathy Woods, 64, will not face a retrial in the 1976 murder case of college student Michele Mitchell, whom she was accused of stabbing to death. She is pictured in court in September after being absolved . New evidence: Tests revealed Woods' DNA is not on the evidence from Mitchell's (right) death scene . Halbower, 66, is serving a 30-year term for attempted murder in Oregon, and has since been charged with murdering two teenage girls in California. When Woods was absolved of murder in September 2014, Washoe District Judge Patrick Flanagan ordered the 64-year-old Woods to appear at a retrial July 13. On Friday Washoe County District Attorney Chris Hicks told a news conference that he's filing a motion to dismiss the case. 'It is our belief that the newly discovered DNA evidence and the continued investigation of this case exonerate Cathy Woods of the murder of Michelle Mitchell,' Hicks said. Woods was at the Southern California home of her brother and his wife when the decision was announced.

'She's going to be very excited to know she'll be able to stay at home.' Neither Pusich nor Hicks faulted earlier prosecutors, police and juries for their roles in Woods' convictions. 'Certainly, I wish they had DNA evidence back then, but they didn't,' Pusich said. 'They just didn't have the evidence.'

The 53-year-old applied to build the extension at his multi-million pound home in Hampstead in a bid to brighten up the property. According to his planning application, the Culture Club frontman also wanted to chop down three trees to allow more light into the Victorian building.

It added that they would be 'detrimental to the character, appearance and special architectural and historic interests of the hosted listed building'. The singer, who put the papers in under his real name George O'Dowd, is now appealing against the decision. The building works, filed under the singer's real name George O'Dowd, would see new floor-to-ceiling windows installed to increase light. Among the planned works were external and internal alterations to the ground floor front windows, a new side window, a new rear garden door and re-landscaping of garden. The garden landscaping would include the removal of three mature trees and the demolition of an existing summer house. But the designs were opposed by the Hampstead Conservation Area Advisory Committee (CCAC). A letter sent to the council by the group said the scheme was an over-development and would affect neighbours. They wrote: 'We object to the extension and the hard landscaping because of the garden take-up and potential light pollution.'

The cost of a holiday abroad has plummeted over the last two years as the sterling increases in value against dozens of foreign currencies. Research from travel money business, Centtrip, said Britons now got \u2018more bang for their buck\u2019 than in 2013 after the value of foreign currencies fells against the pound. British holidaymakers now have significantly more spending power in at least 14 major currencies . The study found holidaymakers have significantly more spending power in at least 14 major currencies, including the US dollar, the Australian dollar, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc. The sterling is also at its highest level against the euro for more than seven years, giving a boost to British families planning holidays on the Continent. It means a family changing \u00a3100 through currency exchange will now get 21 euros more than two year ago. Tourists travelling to Russia will get twice as much rouble for \u00a3100 as they did in 2013, receiving almost 9,600 today instead of 4,600. The sterling is also at its highest level against the euro for more than seven years, giving a boost to British families planning holidays on the Continent . Meanwhile, those travelling to Norway will receive a third more krona for \u00a3100 in sterling, rising from around 900 to 1,200. Those travelling to the US will receive just four dollars more for their \u00a3100, after the pound grew by just 2 per cent against the dollar since 2013. Brian Jamieson, of Centtrip, said: \u2018We are seeing unprecedented levels of strength in sterling and, as it continues to grow, the power of our spending money whilst holidaying abroad increases. \u2018Many of our customers are locking in current attractive rates and buying Euros to use today or at a later date.

The abandoned site in north Wales, known as Denbigh Asylum, has been partially devastated by fire while there are still cages intact that were used to prevent patients escaping from their designated areas. More than 20 patients were selected for prefrontal lobotomy treatments between 1942 and 1944 at the hospital, with one patient dying from the controversial procedure. Lobotomies, which consisted of the removal of parts of the brain, began to be routinely carried out in the 1930s as a supposed treatment for those considered insane - but the barbaric practice was stopped two decades later with the introduction of antipsychotic medicines. The once eloquent and imposing building was built in 1848 and designed by architect Thomas Full James. It was designated for closure by MP Enoch Powell in 1960 and was finally shut for good in 1995. Photographer Mathew Growcoot described the scene: 'It was by far the creepiest place I have ever been into. There were so many strange noises emanating from the buildings that I really didn't want to wander too far from my companion. 'At one point we both heard what sounded like a groan and just stopped and stared at each other. I don't believe in ghosts but I didn't want to hang around.' The site has been subject to a compulsory purchase order by Denbighshire council. But that is being appealed by the site's current owners. The front facade is Grade II listed and a proposal to build homes around the entrance has been put forward. However, the restoration cost is set to be close to a million pounds. Mr Growcoot added: 'It was in a really poor state. It looked as thought a bomb had tore through the site, everything was damaged. There was nothing to stop you entering the site and as a result the vandalism and fire damage was plain to see. 'I wonder how far a million pounds would go to restoring the hospital.

An eight-year-old girl has been left eating through a syringe after she was attacked by a springer spaniel that tore a centimetre off her lip and bit through her cheek. Annie Ramsay was walking with her friends near her home in Whittle-le-Woods, Lancashire, on Thursday when she bent down to stroke the dog as it made its way out of a park with its owner. Her friend stroked the animal first before Annie did the same but the spaniel, which was known to her, licked her face then sank its teeth into her cheek - puncturing her. She ran back home with blood pouring down her face screaming 'I'm going to die' as her horrified father, John, 47, called for an ambulance. Annie was rushed to hospital and underwent plastic surgery, where doctors used the inside or her lip to rebuild the part that had been torn off. She spent three days being treated before she was allowed back home on Sunday, where she is still recovering. The attack has left her unable to eat and her mother Rebecca Ramsay, 34, has to blend her food and feed it to her through a straw or with a syringe. Mrs Ramsay, who has two older sons, Steven, 14, and Josh, 12, said: 'I was heartbroken when I saw her. It's just awful. 'She was petrified but she's been so brave and we're really proud of her. She's a huge dog lover and so sweet with animals so it was a big shock to her. 'The first day after the attack we couldn't even mention the word \"dog\" around her - she was hysterical. 'But I've been trying to explain to her that you get good dogs and bad dogs because I don't want her to be frightened of them but at the same time part of me never wants her to go near one again.' The schoolgirl had bent down to stroke the dog when it sunk its teeth into her cheek and tore a centimetre of skin from her lip. SHe was rushed to hospital and underwent plastic surgery to fix the damage . The family was struck by tragedy in 2011 when Annie's older brother, Dylan, drowned while swimming in a quarry near their home.

Annie, who has since returned home to recover, is likely to have a hairline scar as a result of the attack . 'She had been out playing with friends and the owner, who she knows and lives on our road, was coming out of the park and she stroked it like she has done several times before.

Retail tycoon Sir Philip Green has sold struggling BHS for just one pound \u2013 a fraction of the \u00a3200million he paid for it almost 15 years ago. The billionaire had failed to turn the loss-making department store chain around due to fierce competition from rivals. It was bought yesterday by a little-known investment firm called Retail Acquisitions, raising fears for the jobs of 11,000 staff in 171 BHS stores across the country. When asked if their roles were safe, Sir Philip said: \u2018I\u2019m a retailer, not a clairvoyant.\u2019 The entrepreneur bought the chain in 2000 when it was called British Home Stores.

But its furniture and fashion \u2013 aimed at older customers \u2013 struggled to sell well enough to keep up with rivals. Recent attempts to breathe new life into the chain included introducing food halls in some stores, opening new cafes and selling clothes from some of Arcadia\u2019s other brands. But this failed to kick-start growth, and BHS continued to lose customers to cheaper rivals such as IKEA, as well as more upmarket competitors including John Lewis. Sir Philip said the chain made a cash loss of \u00a345million last year. Analysts estimate that it lost 800,000 shoppers over the past five years. The businessman said he had not been able to give BHS as much attention as he would have liked because of the other brands he owns. \u2018I don\u2019t think anything went wrong,\u2019 he said. \u2018You try being involved in six businesses. \u2018I\u2019m not blaming anybody, but when you are in and out of the business you tend to drift. You can\u2019t be an absentee landlord. It is a challenging marketplace and BHS is in the middle of the market at a time when everyone is discounting.\u2019 He said the business is being handed over in a sound financial position with \u2018significant\u2019 cash balances and no debt. Sir Philip put BHS up for sale in January. He refused to confirm the sale price yesterday, but this was widely reported as being \u00a31.

Despite the economic collapse in 2008, the average financial wealth of the richest 20 per cent has soared by almost two-thirds between 2005 and 2012/13. The poorest families meanwhile have seen a collapse in their savings and higher debts than before the downturn, a report by the Social Market Foundation think-tank found. Despite the economic collapse in 2008, the average financial wealth of the richest 20 per cent has soared by almost two-thirds between 2005 and 2012/13 . The report said those aged 25 to 36 and those on the lowest incomes are 'ill-prepared for future financial shocks or rises in interest rates', limiting the capacity of consumer spending to fuel growth in the UK economy. It cast doubt on claims that the UK population as a whole had reined in spending in order to pay off debts and build up savings in response to the crash. In fact, it found that most of the saving took place among the top 20 per cent of earners, who built up savings in the aftermath of the crisis to the point that their average financial wealth increased by 64 per cent between 2005 and 2012/13. The proportion of high-income individuals with debts fell from 43 per cent to 31 per cent over the same period. By contrast, the 20 per cent on the lowest incomes were unable to pay off debts and start saving. Over the same period, the value of debt held by poorer households rose by 67 per cent - equivalent to around 28 per cent of their income - and use of overdrafts rose, while savings shrank to an average of less than six days' worth of income. The amount being saved by families has steadily fallen since the Coalition took over, as people dip into their savings . The intergenerational gap in incomes and wealth widened over the same period, as the amount of savings held by 26-35 year-olds fell by 36 per cent. While the proportion of this age-group in debt fell, the average amount owed by those with debts increased by 45 per cent. Just 45 per cent of 26 to 35-year-olds owned a home in 2012/13, sharply down from the 74 per cent seen in 2005. The report's co-author, SMF chief economist Nida Broughton, said: 'Our findings show that the wealth gap between rich and poor and young and old increased further during the downturn. 'The economic uncertainty following the crisis prompted many to pay down their debts and build up their savings. But the young and those on low incomes missed out. 'Greater support is needed to help these individuals prepare for the future; yet this will be a challenging feat.

+{"article": "Experts have called for a 'turbocharged' campaign to rid the world of tobacco by 2040 . Leading experts have called for a 'turbocharged' global campaign to make the world tobacco free by 2040. The sale of tobacco should be phased out within the next 25 years, leading public health researchers have today said. They claim one billion deaths from smoking could be averted by the end of the century, if action is taken now. But a global campaign will only work with the support of governments as well as with stronger evidence-based action against the tobacco industry, they warn. Professors Robert Beaglehole and Ruth Bonita, from the University of Auckland in New Zealand have called on the United Nations to lead efforts against the sale and consumption of tobacco. They warn that despite the decline of smoking in the developed world, tobacco use is expected to increase in some countries over the next decade, notably in Africa and the Middle East. With global population rising, there could still be more than a billion people smoking in 2025 unless urgent action is taken, it is claimed. The call to arms in the fight against smoking comes in a series of articles published in the Lancet medical journal and will be launched at the World Conference on Tobacco and Health being held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Professor Beaglehole, said: 'The time has come for the world to acknowledge the unacceptability of the damage being done by the tobacco industry and work towards a world essentially free from the legal and illegal sale of tobacco products. 'A world where tobacco is out of sight, out of mind, and out of fashion - yet not prohibited - is achievable in less than three decades from now, but only with full commitment from governments, international agencies, such as UN and WHO (World Health Organisation), and civil society.' Global tobacco regulation should be 'turbocharged', with the United Nations taking a leading role in efforts to eliminate the sale and use of tobacco. The experts pointed out that falling demand for tobacco in rich parts of the world had caused the 'big four' tobacco companies to turn their attention to low and middle-income countries. Their alleged tactics included industrial litigation, lobbying through third-party groups, and covert maintenance of political pressure disguised as 'corporate social responsibility'. Professor Anna Gilmore, another of the authors from the University of Bath, said: 'Contrary to industry claims, tobacco marketing deliberately targets women and young people. 'The tobacco industry continues to interfere with governments' efforts to implement effective tobacco control policies. 'If the world is to become tobacco free, it's vital that the industry's appalling conduct receives far closer scrutiny and countries which stand up to the industry's bullying tactics receive better global support.' A decade on from the WHO's landmark introduction of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), just 15 per cent of the world's population have adequate access to smoking cessation services. Moreover, less than one in 10 people across the world are covered by tobacco taxation at levels recommended", "summary": "Sale of tobacco should be phased out in the next 25 years, experts say .

Tony Phoenix-Morrison has become well known for running hundreds of miles with the 42kg weight and has also been named Fundraiser of the Year at the Pride of Britain Awards. The 50-year-old grandfather appeared at Sunderland Magistrates' Court under the name Anthony Morrison and was charged with four counts of assault against four members of the Mallaby family. He was also accused of using violence for the purpose of securing entry into their home, knowing that there was someone present on those premises opposed to his entry. Morrison, of Hebburn, South Tyneside, denied all the charges when he appeared at court today. The dedicated runner is said to have seen his business fail as he relentlessly pursued his charity work over the last few years.

David Perry, 52, attempted to rape his first victim and sexually assaulted the second after climbing into the back of his cab and removing the women's clothing while they slept, in separate attacks some 16 months apart. But Scotland Yard believe the cab driver of 25 years may have preyed on more women and urged potential victims to come forward. Judge John Lafferty said the victims had suffered 'serious psychological harm' as a result of the attacks as he sentenced the father of two to 10 years in prison and a subsequent five-year licence period at Snaresbrook Crown Court. The court heard how Perry told police after his arrest that he had been 'worried about what he might do' because of his high hormone levels after the break-up of a relationship and had sought help from his doctor.

The England one-day captain was either protecting his players or is in total denial after an early World Cup exit caused by England's extreme limitations in the 50-over format being repeatedly, brutally and embarrassingly exposed. It is the only explanation for Morgan insisting he had 'no regrets' and, even more bizarrely, saying that he felt all the England players who have under-performed so spectacularly here should carry on in the one-day blue clothing. England captain Eoin Morgan insists he and his side have 'no regrets' over their early World Cup exit . Morgan (second left) walks off the field with Ian Bell (third left) as rain delays play on Friday . This was another deflating day for England even if they did win their final, meaningless group match with ease on a soggy day in Sydney against a willing but mediocre team of minnows in Afghanistan. It was a game that was hardly worth playing and one that even the 9,000 present would have been happy to see rained off so that they could watch the far more entertaining New Zealand win over Bangladesh on TV. The statistics, if we dare bring those up, will tell you that England were businesslike in restricting Afghanistan to 111 for seven off 36.2 overs before knocking off their revised target of 101 in 25 overs with 41 balls to spare. But then came another strange press conference from a captain who has been a massive disappointment since taking over from Alastair Cook on the eve of this tournament, not least with the bat. England batsman James Taylor plays a shot as Afghanistan wicket-keeper Afsar Zazai watches on . Bell shakes hands with Afghanistan players following England's hollow consolation win at the World Cup . 'There are no regrets, absolutely not. We gave it everything,' Morgan insisted after England had managed to equal statistically their worst ever World Cup by defeating a second minnow in Afghanistan as well as Scotland. Only in 1996 have they had such a shocker, on that occasion beating just Holland and the UAE. Then came the bombshell that a team who have failed dismally to come anywhere close to the pace being set by the leading nations in this tournament should all carry on towards the 2019 World Cup. When Morgan was asked if England should make changes as they play catch-up in one-day cricket, he said: 'No, absolutely not. We haven't got guys who are coming towards the end of their careers. I don't see any reason why any of them should retire. I think we have the right calibre of squad. Guys on the outside need to be banging down the door.

+{"article": "Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders has announced a review of all forthcoming trials or retrials regarding the prosecution of journalists . The prosecution of journalists accused of paying public officials for leaks was in turmoil last night after law chiefs announced a review of all forthcoming trials or retrials. Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, made the decision as anger grew that a \u2018witch-hunt\u2019 had been conducted to pursue reporters who exposed stories kept secret because they embarrassed those in power. Last week, Lord Thomas, the Lord Chief Justice, expressed misgivings that the obscure 13th century law of misconduct in public office was being used to haul journalists before the courts. Police and prosecutors have faced criticism for spending up to \u00a320million of taxpayers\u2019 money on Operation Elveden, an investigation into tabloid newspapers paying for information, rather than concentrating on terrorism and violent crime. Scotland Yard and the Crown Prosecution Service have brought to trial 24 journalists as part of the investigation, launched in the wake of phone-hacking allegations. But only three have been found guilty. And of those, a former News of the World reporter had her conviction for paying a prison officer for leaks quashed last week, while fellow journalist Ryan Sabey was given leave to appeal. The NoW reporter was the first journalist found guilty under Elveden and received a six-month suspended jail sentence. But on Friday, Lord Thomas overturned her conviction after finding Judge Charles Wide, who presided over the trial, \u2018misdirected\u2019 the jury over the \u2018level of seriousness\u2019 required to have committed an offence. Now it has emerged that the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will not face a retrial. Two co-defendants also had their convictions quashed but the prison officer is expected to be tried again. Mrs Saunders made the decision after holding emergency talks about the future of the prosecutions of the Press with senior barristers and the Metropolitan Police. A CPS spokesman said: \u2018The Court of Appeal judgment from last week does not call into question the prosecution of the appellants concerned but considered that the jury needed greater direction on how serious offending must be to amount to an abuse of the public\u2019s trust. \u2018This ruling has been very carefully considered in relation to the cases against these three individuals and we have informed the Court of Appeal this afternoon of our decisions concerning retrials in each of those cases.\u2019 The spokesman said the CPS would \u2018consider the wider implications of last week\u2019s judgment on this case and others within Operation Elveden\u2019. Legal sources said Mrs Saunders had been forced to consider an \u2018exit strategy\u2019 after the so-called media crime investigations descended into chaos, with juries showing a reluctance to convict journalists who paid money for stories that were clearly in the public interest. Earlier this month, four Sun journalists were acquitted of making illegal payments for stories. Former colour sergeant John Hardy, 44, was found not guilty of misconduct in a public office.

The fast-changing video shows the elaborate looks worn early last century from intricate woven looks to carefully styled curls - and how political change influenced styles. Scroll down for video . The first look in the video shows Korean model Tiffany, at a time when Korea was first under Japanese rule . During this time, women preferred ornamented hairstyles and minimal make-up . What is truly captivating is the manner in which the styles mirror the economic, political and social disparity in the country during the respective decades. Between the 1910s and 1940s, the video captures how women copied beauty trends from Japan, such as ornamented hairstyles, and emulated Western trends such as finger curls from the flapper era. The trends continue until the clip reaches the 1950s where the screen splits into two, to reflect the historical division of Korea into separate states (North and South), during the Second World War. In 1945, Korea was divided into two spheres of influence, during which America controlled South Korea, and Russia installed a Communist regime in North Korea, later surrendering power to China. In the Fifties, following the divide of the country, South Korea showed an understated appropriation of Western trends with TIffany wearing lightly rouged cheeks, scarlet lips and a styled quiff.

Debbie Jevans resigned as chief executive of England's World Cup 2015 organising committee last Friday . And although Jevans resigned of her own accord, the RFU made no attempt to change her mind. The crucial relationship between RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie and Jevans had began to unravel over the last few months and culminated in a series of huge rows in Ritchie\u2019s office at Twickenham last week.

John Kerry phoned him, Earnest said, on behalf of the State Department \u2013 while he was in Switzerland negotiating with Iran over its nuclear ambitions. The White House's chief spokesman also said the administration is 'deeply concerned' about anti-Arab rhetoric that the Netanyahu campaign leveraged in its larger-than-expected win \u2013 and will make sure Bibi hears about it. The rhetoric 'sought to marginalize Arab-Israeli citizens,' Earnest said, according to a White House pool report filed from Cleveland, Ohio. 'The United States and this administration is deeply concerned about rhetoric that seeks to marginalize Arab-Israeli citizens,' he added. 'It undermines the values and Democratic ideals that have been important to our democracy and an important part of what binds the United States and Israel together. 'Rhetoric that seeks to marginalize one segment of their population is deeply concerning and it is divisive and I can tell you that these are views the administration intends to communicate directly to the Israelis.'

A similar scoreline in Rome would make Gatland\u2019s side big favourites for the title although they would have to wait for their reward as the new trophy is already at Twickenham and its replica in Edinburgh. For Williams, it is a chance to silence his critics once and for all. The 23-year-old Scarlet, formerly a blast-furnace worker, was targeted on social media during last year\u2019s tour of South Africa.

+{"article": "For the first time this century, the skies over Britain will grow dark during the day next Friday with a thrilling eclipse of the Sun. With some parts of the country experiencing 97 per cent darkness, outdoor events will be held nationwide as people gather to gaze heavenwards. Here, GUY WALTERS presents a family guide on how to get the most out of an event that will not happen again for more than a decade. Get out your glasses: Special shades like this are a good bet for watching Britain's first great eclipse this century, with the next partial eclipse of this magnitude not set to take place until 2026 . Who turned the lights out! Shortly after 8am next Friday, the skies above Britain will start to grow dim. At first, the change will be slight, but little more than an hour later about nine-tenths of the Sun will be blocked out. Not until nearly 11am will the Sun finally be restored to its full glory. The event taking place will, of course, be a solar eclipse, when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth and casts a deep shadow over the Earth\u2019s surface. It will affect the entire country as the eclipse travels from the Isles of Scilly and all the way north to the Orkneys. Unlike in 1999, none of the UK will be covered by a total eclipse. Instead, we will witness only a partial eclipse. The total eclipse will be taking place over the North Atlantic \u2014 it will start from a spot 400 miles south of Greenland, skirt the south of Iceland, pass over the Faroe Islands and the Norwegian territory of Svalbard, and finish over the North Pole. But even though we will not be plunged into total darkness, the effect should still be spectacular \u2014especially if the skies are cloudless. With the next partial eclipse of this magnitude not taking place over Britain until August 12, 2026, and the next total eclipse not happening in our skies until 2090, Friday marks an incredibly rare opportunity to witness a phenomenon that has been a source of wonder and fascination for centuries. A solar eclipse in the Faroe Islands, where hotel rooms have been booked far in advance for this latest event . So where can I catch it? It\u2019s probably too late to travel to the Faroe Islands to see the total eclipse, as by all accounts hotel rooms and berths on ferries were fully booked months if not years ago. However, if you can travel within Britain, it\u2019s best to head north \u2014 the farther north you go, the closer to the path of the total eclipse you get and the more the Sun will be obscured. On the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, for example, nearly 98 per cent of the Sun will be covered, while in Dover that figure falls to just over 82 per cent. That may not sound like a big difference, but it is. Skies in Kent will not grow as spectacularly dark as they", "summary": "The Moon will pass between the Sun and the Earth in this landmark event .

The Cabinet Office repeatedly blocked The Mail on Sunday\u2019s attempts to see the bombshell documents \u2013 and caved in only after being threatened with High Court action. After the shocking year-long fight, we can reveal the content of the papers, which expose just how much the Establishment knew about the late politician\u2019s sexual and physical abuse of young boys. Scroll down for video . Margaret Thatcher (left) was personally told that police had investigated claims that Cyril Smith (right) indecently assaulted teenage boys in the 1960s . Nick Clegg and David Cameron, both Ministers in the Cabinet Office, have been accused of \u2018colluding\u2019 in the latest cover-up of evidence that could expose VIP paedophile rings. The secrecy row will also focus attention on Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, who has become known as \u2018Sir Cover-Up\u2019 after blocking the release of dozens of messages exchanged by Tony Blair and George W Bush ahead of the Iraq war. Following The Mail on Sunday\u2019s victory, it can be revealed for the first time that: . - Margaret Thatcher was personally told that police had investigated claims that Smith indecently assaulted teenage boys in the 1960s. - Thatcher was explicitly warned that awarding a knighthood to the 29-stone Liberal MP risked damaging the \u2018integrity of the honours system\u2019, but went ahead anyway. - A senior Whitehall mandarin took the \u2018exceptional\u2019 step of contacting the country\u2019s top prosecutor and police to find out why Smith was never charged with abusing boys at a hostel he helped run. - Civil servants feared the secret Smith police file might be made public in 1982 \u2013 when a burglary at the Fleet Street offices of The Sun newspaper revealed the editor was in possession of a copy. This revelation will lead to speculation that the break-in was linked to attempts to cover up Smith\u2019s crimes. One insider told The Mail on Sunday that the matter is \u2018on the Deputy Prime Minister\u2019s desk\u2019. The fact that the Cabinet Office blocked five attempts by The Mail on Sunday to see the papers will deepen fears of a cover-up at the highest levels over the activities of VIP paedophiles. Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who exposed the scale of Smith\u2019s abuse in Parliament, said: \u2018Nick Clegg and David Cameron have colluded in covering this up. It involves their people and we should not have to learn about this piecemeal because of journalists pestering for information. \u2018Both men need to come clean and make a personal commitment to revealing everything that is now held by Government departments. \u2018The Prime Minister promised there would be no stone unturned into the inquiry of historic sex abuse in Westminster.

These reports first appeared on fan site 9to5Mac and came from unnamed sources. Apple launched its iPhone Reuse and Recycle trade-in scheme in 2013. It lets people take old handsets into a store and get credit to put towards the purchase of a new one. These handsets can be recycled online too, and Apple offers an iPad version of the scheme. The amount of credit depends on the device and its condition, and its likely that figures for Android handsets, which are typically much cheaper than Apple phones, will be low under the scheme.

+{"article": "One hundred years after the Battle of Gallipoli, a new Hollywood film starring and directed by Russell Crowe is poised to generate new interest in a region in Turkey where one of the darkest campaigns of the First World War was waged. The Water Diviner is believed to be the first feature film to shoot scenes inside Istanbul's famous Blue Mosque, which gained its name from its blue tiles. The film visits some of the key battleground areas as well as some of Turkey's beauty spots while telling a fictional tale that is built around the bloody campaign which lasted nearly a year. In The Water Diviner, Russell Crowe plays a farmer who travels to Turkey to find his three missing sons as a promise to his late wife . The Water Diviner, due in cinemas on April 3, was the first feature film to be given access to film inside Istanbul's Blue Mosque . Much of the film was shot on location in Istanbul, in the bustling markets, as well as Gallipoli itself and the \u2018ghost-village\u2019 of Kayakoy . From April 1915 to January 1916, a 70,000 strong Allied army stormed Turkey in an effort to open up a supply route to provide Russia with much-needed supplies. The campaign, a major Allied failure, was seen as one of the greatest Ottoman victories. In Turkey, it is widely regarded as a defining moment in the nation's history; a final surge in the defence of the motherland as the Ottoman Empire crumbled. The Water Diviner, a historical fictional drama based on the book of the same name by Andrew Anastasios and Dr Meaghan Wilson-Anastasios, sees Crowe play the role of an Australian farmer who travels to Turkey after the Battle of Gallipoli. The Gallipoli campaign was one of the greatest Ottoman victories during the First World War (pictured: Russell Crowe on location) The film sees Russell Crowe's character, Joshua Connor, travelling to Turkey to find his three sons who fought in the Battle of Gallipoli . Arriving in Istanbul, Russell Crowe's character falls in love with a beguiling Turkish hotelier and travels to the Gallipoli Peninsula . Crowe's character has lost his three sons who fought for the ANZACS in the conflict, and has promised his late wife he will find them. Arriving in Istanbul, he falls in love with the beguiling Turkish hotelier and travels to the Gallipoli Peninsula. Much of the film was shot on location in Istanbul, in the bustling markets and in the glorious Blue Mosque, and it was reportedly the first time a feature film has been given access to the building. As well as filming in Istanbul and Gallipoli itself, several scenes from the movie were shot in the \u2018ghost-village\u2019 of Kayak\u00f6y, which lays partially abandoned as a result of the enforced population exchange between Turkish and Greek citizens in 1923.

+{"article": "Married couples could get a bigger cut in income tax after the election, David Cameron has signalled as he admitted he must do more to win back disgruntled Tories. The Prime Minister said he wanted to 'expand' the marriage tax allowance, which begins next month and is worth \u00a3212-a-year for some couples. He said some of his natural supporters had 'drifted' to other parties, as he vowed to stick to his promise to cut net migration to the 'tens of thousands', despite the number soaring to almost 300,000. Scroll down for video . Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to expand the marriage tax allowance to win back disgruntled Tory supportersa . Under the Tory policy, 4million married couples are in line for the new tax break designed to support for stay-at-home parents. The \u00a31,060 transferable tax allowance will particularly benefit couples where one parent does not work or only works part-time. However, if both people in a couple earn more than \u00a310,600 they will not qualify and higher rate taxpayers earning more than \u00a342,385 a year are also excluded. The idea was first promised by Mr Cameron when he ran for the Tory leadership in 2005, and marks the first recognition of marriage in the tax system since the married couples' allowance was phased out in 1999. It will apply to spouses who do not use all of their personal allowance \u2013 either because they are at home looking after children, or work part-time and earn less than the threshold for income tax, \u00a310,600 in April. They will now be able to transfer up to \u00a31,060 of their unused personal tax-free allowance to a spouse or civil partner, as long as the recipient of the transfer pays the basic rate of income tax, levied on income up to \u00a342,385. That will save the couple up to \u00a3212 a year on their tax bill. At the Tory spring forum yesterday, Mr Cameron was heckled by party member Mike Howson who said the PM had 'betrayed this country on Europe and immigration' The Conservative Party will spend an extra GBP8 billion on the NHS if it wins the general election to fund a five year plan drawn up by its chief executive, Jeremy Hunt has promised. The Health Secretary said the Government would fully fund the plan drawn up by NHS England boss Simon Stevens, which would see \u00a32billion being pumped into the health service every year until 2019-20. The so-called 'Stevens plan' will see a total of \u00a330 billion put into the NHS, with \u00a322 billion found through efficiency savings and \u00a38 billion in extra spending. Until now only the Liberal Democrats had pledged to find the money but Mr Hunt has signed the Tories up to the plan. Asked by the Sunday Times if the Tories would find the full \u00a330billion, Mr Hunt said: 'Yes. We've demonstrated that we're as good as our word.

+{"article": "MI5 has been condemned over its handling of the case of bloodthirsty Islamist Jihadi John (pictured) No organisation is more important in the fight against terrorism within our society than MI5. The security and intelligence service\u2019s crest rightly reminds its officers of their duty \u2018to defend our realm\u2019. Yet in recent days the service has been ferociously attacked over its handling of the case of the bloodthirsty Islamist Jihadi John, now unmasked as Mohammed Emwazi, a computer graduate from the University of Westminster. Much of this condemnation has focused on the revelation that, before he left to join the IS jihad in Syria, Emwazi was known to MI5 as an extremist and may even have had links to the 2005 London bombers. But there have also been noisy complaints, widely relayed across the media, that it was MI5\u2019s supposedly heavy-handed surveillance which drove Emwazi down the path to radicalism. All too predictably, the verbal assault on the security service has been led by the BBC which, with typical self-importance and disdain for our national interests, has set itself up as judge and jury over the saga. Like the left-wing Guardian newspaper, the BBC has been giving copious airtime to the nauseating pressure group Cage, which has a long record of providing support for Islamist terror suspects. Given an undeserved platform by the BBC, Cage\u2019s spokesman Asim Qureshi peddled the revolting propaganda line that Emwazi had been a \u2018gentle\u2019 and \u2018beautiful\u2019 man until apparently forced to become a sadistic executioner because of MI5\u2019s cruel harassment. According to Qureshi\u2019s grotesque theory, this harassment by MI5 began after Emwazi had attempted to go on \u2018safari\u2019 to Africa with a couple of other Muslim extremists \u2013 he was arrested on landing in Tanzania en route to Somalia \u2013 following his graduation. The complaint of heavy-handedness in dealing with extremist suspects is simply absurd. Spooking people like Emwazi is absolutely necessary. They should feel they are being monitored. To inflict on the British public such special pleading as Qureshi\u2019s and twisting of the evidence in support of a murderous death cult is a betrayal of BBC values. It is the moral equivalent of giving Joseph Goebbels a slot on BBC Radio Four\u2019s Thought for the Day. There have also been noisy complaints that it was MI5\u2019s supposedly heavy-handed surveillance which drove Emwazi down the path to radicalism - an attack which is both 'unfair and counter-productive' The drivel about Jihadi John was then reinforced by senior Tory MP David Davis on yesterday\u2019s Jeremy Vine programme on Radio Two. He rejected the theory that Emwazi had merely gone to Africa on \u2018safari\u2019. But he repeated accusations he had already made in the Guardian (a paper which has already done deep damage to our national security by publishing intelligence documents leaked by US National Security Agency traitor Edward Snowden), that MI5 were guilty of \u2018confusion of aims and ineffective tactics that leave known terrorists to carry out evil deeds and recruit more conspirators\u2019.

On an evening where Manchester United lacked creativity and firepower, three players they have let go in recent years scored around Europe to win their side crucial matches. To add to Arsenal striker Welbeck's triumphant Old Trafford return, on loan winger Nani - deemed surplus to requirements by Louis van Gaal - and French midfielder Paul Pogba scored for their clubs. Danny Welbeck slots home the winning goal after rounding David de Gea at Old Trafford on Monday . Welbeck celebrated passionately after scoring the goal that knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup . Welbeck was one of three former United players who netted vital goals on the same evening . Pogba, who was allowed to leave United by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2012 after failing to sign a contract with the club, scored a stunning volley from the edge of the box to give Juventus a 1-0 win over Sassuolo.

Van Gaal has reportedly not spoken to the Portuguese winger since he was allowed to leave Old Trafford, but Nani showed he still has the quality to make the difference when it matters. Down to ten men, Sporting had let a two-goal lead slip before Nani arrived to score a diving header and secure all three points against the Portuguese league's bottom side. The win keeps Nani's side in the hunt to qualify for next season's Champions League, something Van Gaal's United look increasingly unlikely to do.

Unlike the Frenchman Pogba or the Portuguese Nani, Welbeck is a product of United's academy.

She admitted to using Botox injections to reduce facial lines but went public saying they made her face feel \u2018all wrong..I felt bloated\u2019.

The very first study into how the Antarctic's climate has affected the birds over the past 30,000 years has been conducted by a team of researchers, including some from the University of Tasmania and the Australian Antarctic Division. It was found that at some point, the Antarctic was too cold for these birds. Scroll down for video . The current sea ice conditions are optimal for the emperor penguin population, however this may not last if global warming persists . The largest penguin species in the world is currently thriving in the Antarctic with numbers drastically increasing over the last 12,000 years . During the last ice age, conditions became so severe that the emperor penguin population was around seven times smaller than it is now. Temperatures were at least 15 degrees colder on average than they are today and just three colonies of the penguin survived that period. Lead researcher Jane Younger said that despite emperor penguins being accustomed to temperatures of minus 30C, the last Ice Age seems to have been a snap too cold for them. The study shows how the climate has affected the birds over the past 30,000 years, finding that Antarctica was once too cold for them . The warming has made it easier for the emperor penguins to feed as the sea ice has melted and lessened the distance to the ocean . 'Due to there being about twice as much sea ice compared to current conditions, the penguins were unable to breed in more than a few locations around Antarctica,' Ms Younger said. 'The distances from the open ocean, where the penguins feed, to the stable sea ice where they breed was probably too far.' The findings have suggested that the current sea ice conditions might be optimal for the emperor penguin population. With the species flourishing, the study has shown that their numbers began to increase over the last 12,000 years when temperatures rose and the sea ice began to decline. This warming would have made it easier for the penguins to access the ocean to feed. Researchers are currently unable to determine the future of the largest and heaviest penguin species as they are clearly very sensitive to climate change and the current ideal conditions for these birds may not last.", "summary": "The first study into the fluctuating numbers of the emperor penguin species has been conducted by scientists .

Bryant could be sentenced to up to ten years in prison in June. Sandra Kay Bryant, 59, pleaded guilty in federal court on Thursday in St. Louis for her role in a 2001 blaze that killed the couple's 15-year-old son. She admitted to one felony count of aiding and abetting the use of fire to commit mail fraud . Her ex-husband, Steven Kemper, pleaded guilty to the same charge in 2013 and will be sentenced next month. Investigators said the fire at the family's home in the St. Louis suburb of Florissant killed Zachariah Kemper after he became trapped in the basement he shared with his mother while her mother, Kemper and his lover lived upstairs. All of the adults escaped unharmed. According to prosecutors, Bryant set fire to a trash can in a basement utility room next to her son's bedroom, using hairspray to fuel the flames. Zachariah Kemper, 15, was killed during a fire his parents allegedly set in 2001 to commit mail fraud . The fire was supposed to look like the result of careless smoking and bad cleaning habits, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Bryant and Kemper knew their son was asleep in the next room, the indictment alleges. Firefighters found the boy's body near his bed. His arms were covering his head and face, and a fire extinguisher was on the floor, a few feet away. The teen sustained burns on his upper body, head and extremities, according to an autopsy that found soot in his airway, showing he was alive when the fire broke out.

The children, aged between 11 and 13, suffered vomiting, dizziness and headaches, with one apparently needing hospital treatment. Incredibly, the Nicorette mouth spray had been brought to class by the 12-year-old after she was prescribed it by NHS anti-smoking staff who visited the school. Manufacturers say the anti-addiction product is safe for ages 12 and up \u2013 but experts claim it can cause acute poisoning in non-smokers. Parents have criticised Wolstanton High School (pictured) in Newcastle-under-Lyme where 20 pupils fell ill after using a Nicotine spray prescribed to a 12-year-old . Frantic parents were called to Wolstanton High School in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, last Wednesday after 20 pupils became ill during lunchtime. One father, whose daughter suffered vomiting and dizziness, expressed his disbelief that a child had been given the spray in the first place. He said: 'It is ridiculous that the school are allowing a girl so young to be prescribed something this dangerous. I agree they should be giving them advice, but she is only 12. 'It could have been a lot more serious, one of them could have been seriously poisoned.' A mother, who also asked not to be named, said her 12-year-old son tried the spray, adding: 'When he was collected he was extremely pale, holding on to the rail outside and some of the others had been sick. He's suffered a toxic overdose.' It is understood one pupil even attended the Royal Stoke University Hospital's A&E for a heart check-up. But despite parents' concerns, the school's headmaster Alan Aston appeared to downplay the 'regrettable' incident as a practical joke. He said: 'The spray was shared with other pupils and they became nauseous. We have dealt with the pupil involved using our own sanctions ... unfortunately this was a prank that went wrong.' Manufacturers say the anti-addiction product (pictured) is safe for ages 12 and up \u2013 but experts claim it can cause acute poisoning in non-smokers . The girl was prescribed the nicotine spray by Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust, which ran an anti-smoking course called 'Time to Quit' at the comprehensive school. Ian Saberton, the scheme's service manager, said his staff had followed the proper procedures. He added: 'All pupils who request support receive an appointment, after which they are required to do some preparation for a quit attempt. Medication is only recommended at the following appointment.' Mr Aston defended the course, saying that as most of the school's pupils are underage, 'smoking is illegal, which we take very seriously'. Johnson & Johnson, which makes the spray, says it is safe for adults and children over 12. But the electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC), whose information is vetted by regulators, warns: 'Products containing nicotine should not be left where they may be misused, handled or ingested by children.'

Beneath his image, Forrest's rallying cry urging men to frighten their enemies is printed: 'Keep the skeer [scare] on 'em!' Forrest was the first Grand Wizard of the KKK soon after the anti-black group formed in Tennessee in 1866. According to Andrew Ward, author of the Civil War account River Run Red, Forrest was part of an off-shoot of the clan that opted for violence when they found black people would not voluntarily return to a state of slavery.

The secret history of a decorated Bomber Command hero who survived 63 missions, bombed Hitler's barges and planned the Dambusters raid has been uncovered after his death. John Collier was awarded three top medals for his heroic and brave service during the Second World War, but lived a humble life after he left the RAF and rarely spoke of his incredible achievements. He died aged 83 in 2000, only for an unpublished memoir recording his feats to be unearthed by his family in his home in the New Forest, Hampshire. Now his story has been told in a biography - titled Group Captain John 'Joe' Collier - written by family friend Simon Gooch. Mr Gooch and the family of Mr Collier discovered that the airman's first mission took place mere hours after war against Germany was declared on September 3, 1939. The mission was one of the first bombing missions of the war and involved searching for German warships in the North Sea. Another mission described in the memoir described Mr Collier flying a twin-engined Hampden bomber on a raid on a canal lock in Munster, Germany, on August 12, 1940, when his plane was hit.

Bober's hoping that Dimmitt Automotive Group in Clearwater will cover losses since it was being taken to their dealership . When asked about the accident Bober was in good spirts, saying he'd 'get another one' once the accident was sorted out . But Bober's resolution to the issue of having a totaled exotic car was simple. 'Eh, we'll get another one,' he told Palm Beach Post. Bober hopes Dimmitt Automotive Group in Clearwater, the McLaren dealership where he bought the car, will cover the loss, according to WFLA. 'They've apologized, ya know. And as far as I'm concerned, that's what they can do right now. I mean, I'm actually pretty happy that no one got hurt,' he told WFLA.

A Nevada prison inmate was handcuffed when was shot and killed by a guard last November, according to a lawyer who said Wednesday that her client was wounded in the same shooting but survived. Carlos Manuel Perez Jr. was slain with his hands cuffed behind his back, attorney Alexis Plunkett said. Inmate Andrew Jay Arevalo was also handcuffed and 'miraculously survived three shotgun blasts to the face,' Plunkett said. 'This is what I clearly consider to be an excessive use of force,' she said in an email to The Associated Press. Plunkett said she represents Arevalo, not Perez, and plans to sue the guard, prison officials and the state. 'This is a terribly tragic and completely unnecessary shooting,' Plunkett said. Clark County Coroner Michael Murphy said Wednesday that he ruled Perez's death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds to the head, neck, chest and arms. Murphy noted his ruling meant Perez, 28, died at the hands of another person. It didn't establish fault. Nevada prisons chief Greg Cox said in a statement issued after the coroner's ruling became public that Arevalo and Perez were fighting when a guard at High Desert State Prison opened fire. Policy and procedure were followed in contacting the coroner, Las Vegas police and the prisons inspector general, Cox said. The Department of Corrections director didn't mention handcuffs and didn't identify the guard. But he said the shooter was one of three correctional officers who remain on administrative leave pending completion of a Nevada Department of Investigations report and a review by the state attorney general's office. Patty Cafferata, spokeswoman for state Attorney General Adam Laxalt, said the case will be evaluated and appropriate action will be taken. Laxalt's office also could be called on to defend the state in wrongful-death and excessive-force lawsuits. A spokeswoman for Gov. Brian Sandoval referred questions about the case to Cox. Perez and Arevalo were being housed separately in a disciplinary wing, known as 'the hole', where inmates are handcuffed behind their backs when they are outside their cells, and no more than one inmate is usually allowed out of a cell at the same time, Plunkett said. 'Procedure was followed because Perez and my client were both handcuffed,' the attorney said. 'But procedure was not followed because they were out of their individual cells at the same time.

Oscar Pistorius's lawyers have failed in their attempt to stop prosecutors appealing against the double-amputee athlete's negligent killing conviction. Judge Thokozile Masipa dismissed their application to challenge the appeal by prosecutors, who want Pistorius convicted of the more serious charge of murder for shooting his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, multiple times in a bathroom in his home on Valentine's Day in 2013. 'The order that I grant in this matter is to strike off the application,' the black-robed Judge Masipa said in her ruling today, dismissing the defence's application. In December, Judge Masipa granted prosecutors permission to take the case to South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal and challenge her own ruling to acquit Pistorius of murder and find him guilty instead of a lesser charge comparable to manslaughter. Pistorius's lawyers were arguing that the judge should not have allowed that appeal. The Olympian and multiple Paralympic champion is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for culpable homicide, or negligent killing. The 28-year-old could be eligible for release from the jail in the capital, Pretoria, in August to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest. If prosecutors succeed in their appeal against the culpable homicide conviction in the Supreme Court of Appeal and have it upgraded to murder, Pistorius would face a minimum of 15 years in jail. Judge Masipa, who presided over Pistorius's seven-month murder trial and the start of the appeal process by prosecutors, made her latest ruling after a short court session in Johannesburg. Pistorius's trial was held in another courthouse in Pretoria. Failed bid: The athlete's lawyer Barry Roux (pictured) argued that prosecutors had 'mistakenly' been given permission to appeal against Judge Masipa's initial trial verdict of manslaughter . Prosecutor Gerrie Nel (above) said there was no basis for the application by the defence, which wanted a 'never-ending case' to prevent it from going to the appeal court .

Saad al-Jamal holds the lions in his arms as one of them struggles in an effort to get back on the ground . Mr al-Jamal plans to raise the cubs at his house in the Al-Shabora refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip . He refused to say how much he paid for the cubs, but admitted to AFP that he has received a $9,000 offer (\u00a36,000) to buy them. The two lion cubs, one male and one female, have been named Alex and Mona. They have been living in the three-bedroom flat \u2018like members of the family\u2019 for 10 weeks, and they play 'all day long' with Mr al-Jamal's children and grandchildren.

Raising two lion cubs is a costly venture, and Mr al-Jamal has plans to use them to earn money. He intends to lease them to parks, restaurants and seaside resorts once they are a few months older.

At just two months, the cubs eat half a kilogram of meat a day, and their appetites will become even larger as they get older. Right now the animals are at an age where they are unable to inflict any real damage. But once the cubs reach 15-months-old they will develop adult teeth and will possess the ability to tear flesh.

Hill House Independent Junior School in Kensington in west London was rated 'inadequate' in every single category by Ofsted inspectors and its fate will now be decided by ministers who will review the report. An inspection of the exclusive school, where alumni include Prince Charles and singer Lily Allen, criticised it for breaching health and safety measures as well as failing to ensure its young students make adequate progress. Hill House Independent Junior School was rated 'inadequate' in every single category by Ofsted inspectors . The former prep school attended by Prince Charles (pictured centre, introducing his mother, Queen Elizabeth to teachers) could be closed after Ofsted inspectors rated it 'inadequate' in all five areas . Hill House was also criticised for focusing on getting older pupils to practice entry tests for secondary schools at the expense of teaching them in depth about their subjects. The family run school, which is based at several houses in Kensington and Chelsea, has previously been described as 'eccentric' in the Good Schools Guide. It has almost 1,000 pupils who attend from the age of four to 11. The Department for Education said the next stage in the process is for ministers to review the report. A spokesman said 'all options' remained open, despite the school's independent status. This includes closure or helping leaders come up with an action plan to improve. Lily Allen is among the school's famous alumni . Among the criticisms leveled at the school by inspectors, who visited at the beginning of December last year, was the poor educational attainment by pupils. The report said: 'Too few pupils make adequate progress across the school, particularly in writing and mathematics. 'Leaders and proprietors do not have the capacity to secure essential improvements. They are not taking any action to secure effective teaching. They do not know if pupils are making the progress of which they are capable.' Behaviour and safety of pupils also achieved a blistering 'inadequate' rating by inspectors. While pupils were regarded as polite with 'excellent manners' and generally good behaviour, their safety was raised as a concern. Inspectors highlighted poor attention paid to health and safety. It said 'The safety of pupils and adults is compromised on some of the school sites. The report branded fire evacuation procedures 'flawed', with records lacking detail and staff lacking training to deal with problems. It said the supervision of children was sometimes 'lax' and some fire exits could be a hazard.

Overall, the survey found that 79 per cent of respondents thought immigration levels should be reduced with 59 per cent wanting a big drop.

Home Secretary Theresa May has been pushing for a firm immigration pledge to be included in the next Tory manifesto, after the failed a pledge to cut the number coming here to 'tens of thousands' Some 60 per cent of Asian respondents wish to see immigration reduced, with 38 per cent wanting it down by a lot. The same is true of black respondents with 57 per cent thinking it should be curbed and 32 per cent wanting a large cut. For those of mixed origin, 60 per cent wanted a decrease with 30 per cent wanting a big fall. Of those classed as \u2018other\u2019 ethnicities, 56 per cent wanted a drop with 32 per cent believing there should be a large reduction.

Vice-chairman Alp Mehmet said: \u2018The report confirms that the concerns of ethnic minority voters are very similar to everyone else and why wouldn\u2019t they be? \u2018The way to appeal to ethnic minority communities is to propose reasonable policies and reducing net migration to the level last seen in the early 1990s is entirely reasonable.\u2019 Kiran Bali, a member of Migration Watch who has founded a series of inter-faith groups, said: \u2018The majority of people share similar concerns. \u2018They are worried about schools, hospitals, jobs and overcrowding. \u2018It is ludicrous to lump diverse communities together in suggesting we all want mass immigration.

Police chiefs today announced that they have arrested 56 people - all Brits, including the three alleged leaders - and uncovered 500 mostly pensioner victims. And they said they feared thousands more would now be identified following a series of Costa del Sol raids against the gang which had been operating for more than five years. Detectives detailed the lengths the fraudsters went to dupe victims into handing over cash at a press conference in Malaga this morning. The three-tier scam involved calls from fake lawyers and court officials who persuaded their victims to hand over up to \u00a335,000 after being conned into selling their timeshares. Scroll down for video . Hotspot: The alleged ringleaders, who have not been named, are suspected of laundering the multi-million pound proceeds of their fraud through bars and restaurants on the Costa del Sol (pictured) The chief alleged ringleader, a Brit living in the resort of Mijas, had three homes and a boat and drove two luxury cars he is thought to have bought with his ill-gotten gains. Nearly 80 bank accounts linked to the gang have been frozen and six vehicles seized along with the boat and properties valued at nearly \u00a3600,000. Lead investigator, Inspector Mercedes Perez Quesada, said: 'The fraud was three-fold. 'Telesales operators contacted potential victims and offered them attractive prices to sell their timeshare properties and took advantage of their ignorance of Spanish law once they'd been tempted to instruct them to pay things like administrative or public notary fees. 'Any excuse to get money out of them was valid. 'Once victims had been conned and knew they were never going to get their money back, a second group of people would call claiming to be lawyers saying they were going to launch a group action on behalf of victims and asking once again for money upfront.

In the latest development, The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the Schock staffers did almost no government work there and House disbursement records show he received the $10,053 for 'travel subsistence' between September 26 and 29. The events with the Indian prime minister were September 27 and 28. And about 20 tickets to a Global Citizen Festival concert - where performers included Jay Z and Carrie Underwood - were purchased using $3,000 from a Schock campaign fund. Schock, at an event Monday in Chicago, told reporters the New York trip was official business and he was honored his staff could attend. Schock said about a dozen world leaders including President Barack Obama spoke. His spokesman has said that Schock wanted to play a 'constructive role' in Modi's visit to further economic ties between the U.S. and India. 'It was a very legitimate trip on official business,' he told reporters. 'I'm glad that I played such a significant role in it. And I'm honored that my staff was able to be there with me as well.' Schock would not address questions about why he took so many staff members. Other Illinois congressmen made the same trip but without staff members and some paid for the trip out of personal funds.

Schock's financial charges have been made public after organizations questioned what his expenses were going toward. He has spent thousands on concerts and car mileage reimbursements . Schock yesterday also defended his frequent Illinois travel as his way of reaching constituents. He noted that his central Illinois district is geographically expansive, including parts of Peoria, Bloomington and Springfield, and says he has fewer district offices than other congress members. 'Some people spend more on direct mail pieces that they send out,' he told reporters. 'I spend more to get around my district.' Last month the Associated Press identified at least a dozen flights worth more than $40,000 on aircraft belonging to Schock's donors since mid-2011. Beyond air travel, Schock spent thousands more on tickets for concerts, car mileage reimbursements - among the highest in Congress.", "summary": "Aaron Schock under intense scrutiny for lavish spending of taxpayer funds .

In an experiment, scientists photographed 20 children between the ages of five and 19 who were considering surgery to stop their ears protruding as much.

The experts used an eye-tracking device to measure which facial features caught the attention of the volunteers and asked them to guess each child\u2019s personality. The study showed that protruding ears don't carry a social stigma and it's unknown why it's been thought that they may lead to a biased perception of personality.

Our ears and nose keep growing as we age, but it's not due to cartilage continuing to grow, as often thought. In fact, it's down to gravity, which enables them to elongate by 0.22 millimetres every year. As we age, the collagen and elastic fibres that make up cartilage, begin to disintegrate, causing them to stretch and sag - and appear longer, The Medicine Journal reported. The same problem occurs in our skin, which compounds noses and ears getting longer. And because faces become less plump with time, this acts to emphasise the sagging of the ears and nose. The results revealed that the observers spent an average of seven seconds looking at each child\u2019s face. They spent an average of 10 per cent of that time looking at protruding ears, compared to six per cent for the ears in the Photoshopped images, demonstrating that the over-sized features did catch their attention. The experts said this is because people tend to focus on what is different and novel in a face, as it helps us to recognise others.

To the uninitiated, tomorrow\u2019s final will be settled over 90, maybe 120 minutes, with the lingering possibility of penalty kicks.

A breakthrough study found that the cholesterol-lowering drugs improved outcomes for those suffering from the common cardiac disorder. The medication has already been linked to a reduction in heart attacks. Prevention? Cholesterol-lowering statins can cut the number of hospital admissions for heart failure by 10 per cent, Scottish researchers found . But the latest research is the first to show the benefits for those at risk of heart failure \u2013 which occurs when the organ struggles to maintain adequate blood flow to the body. Scientists from the University of Glasgow said their findings herald a \u2018significant benefit\u2019 for the near-one million Britons affected by the condition. Exerts from the university\u2019s Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences reviewed 17 statin trials involving more than 100,000 patients as part of their analysis. Lead researcher Dr David Preiss said: \u2018Heart failure is disabling, expensive to treat, especially in more advanced stages, and patients have a poor outcome. \u2018While it has been assumed that statins reduce the development of heart failure simply because they reduce heart attacks, to our surprise this had not been definitively shown before. \u2018The results of this analysis clearly show a modest, but significant benefit, reducing hospital admission for heart failure by 10 per cent, which is clinically important.\u2019 Heart failure happens when damage to the heart leaves it too weak to pump blood efficiently round the body. Around 100,000 Britons a year are thought to die from it. Damage: Heart failure (pictured) affects nearly a million Birtons and develops when the heart is unable to maintain adequate blood flow to meet the needs of the body . Figures show 15 per cent of patients with the condition die in hospital \u2013 twice the European average \u2013 partly because of late diagnosis and treatment that fails to adequately control symptoms. Signs including swollen legs, tiredness and shortness of breath \u2013 which usually worsen following exercise. Dr Preiss added: \u2018It is probable that statins decrease the degree of ischaemia [lack of blood flow] that occurs before a heart attack, leading to a decrease in the number of people with other ischaemic events and reducing the chronic impact on the heart. \u2018Further study of the potential mechanism is needed.\u2019 The study found a 10 per cent reduction in first hospital admissions for heart failure, although researchers believe the impact of statins has been underestimated. The study was reported at the European Atherosclerosis Society Congress in Glasgow and was published online in The European Heart Journal. Between eight and ten million adults take statins \u2013 which are now the most widely prescribed drugs in the UK. The NHS estimates they save 7,000 lives a year in the UK, despite growing concern over the extent of side effects such as increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has seen his side record a profit for the fourth consecutive year . Newcastle fans have not taken to Ashley since he took control of the Premier League club in 2007 . A Newcastle statement said: 'Most significantly, the club reported strong commercial revenue growth delivering \u00a325.6m in 2014, up from \u00a317.1m in 2013. This 49.7 per cent increase was largely the result of two lucrative new deals with the club's principal sponsors, Wonga and Puma.' It is the fourth successive year the club have made a profit and cements Newcastle's positions in financial terms at least as one of the most successful in the top flight. The club's debt remained static at \u00a3129million in the form of an interest-free loan from owner Mike Ashley - none of the debt has been repaid. Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley said: 'I am pleased to report a positive set of results which confirms the healthy financial position the club now finds itself in and is a reflection of the prudent and measured manner in which we operate. A large proportion of Newcastle's income came through sponsorship deals with Wonga and Puma . 'The club benefits from a supportive owner and is financially stable. This gives us a strong platform from which to grow, both on and off the pitch, a result of which means, as we move forward, we are able to net spend on the playing squad and invest in other areas of the business. 'The most pleasing aspect in this set of accounts has been the growth in our commercial revenue and it has been our strongest year yet in that respect. 'With our commitment to keeping ticket prices affordable for our supporters, growing our commercial income has been crucial. The deals we struck with our two main sponsors, Wonga and Puma, together with a stronger focus on our commercial operations, have helped us achieve this growth.

(Pan \u00a37.99) Within the very sentimental world of Sunday night television, Call The Midwife\u2019s heroine, Jenny Lee, was played with gentle reserve by actress Jessica Raine. Call The Midwife\u2019s heroine, Jenny Lee (left), is based on a real person . But a startling new memoir by the sister of the midwife on whom the character is based suggests the real Jenny Lee was a more fiery and difficult character. The young Jenny actually came to midwifery after being dismissed from her nursing course at the Royal Berkshire Hospital for losing her temper and smacking a small child. Then only months away from qualifying, the consultants pinned her near-perfect exam papers up on the notice board as an example to others. But she was deeply in love with a much older married man at the time, and Christine Lee now believes that her sister\u2019s romantic frustrations were the cause of her angry outbursts. Reading the details of the sisters\u2019 childhood, it\u2019s obvious that Jenny had cause for anger long before her married lover refused to leave his wife. Jennifer was born in 1936, the daughter of a Post Office clerk called Elsie \u2014 a woman with \u2018bedroom eyes, fabulous hour-glass figure and great legs\u2019 \u2014 and a handsome chancer, Gordon Lee, who had whisked Elsie away on his milk float from the dance at which they met. Christine came along in 1939 as Gordon built up a successful haulage business. The first seven years of Christine\u2019s life were idyllic \u2014 she had parents who laughed and holiday adventures on the Essex coast with her fearless older sister. Their mother flirted her way to extra luxuries during rationing. But everything changed one summer day in 1945, when Elsie came home to find her husband in bed with his secretary, Judith. Elsie had a stroke. Divorce followed. The girls were sent to a convent school run by nuns whose metal rulers left savage, red weals on dyslexic Christine\u2019s hands as she struggled to write. Jennifer kicked back at her tormentors and got the pair expelled. Meanwhile, Gordon married Judith and the wealthy couple moved to a luxurious country home \u2014 except for the room set aside for his two girls. That boasted bare boards, a bare lightbulb and one camp bed. The real Jenny Lee (played in the BBC series by Jessica Raine, second right) ended up in midwifery after being dismissed from her nursing course at the Royal Berkshire Hospital for losing her temper . Elsie went on to marry a violent bully called Jock, who demanded the girls be out of his sight when he came home from work at 5pm. By this point, Christine claims, Jennifer had become quite violent, sometimes \u2018grabbing me by the hair and repeatedly banging my head against the wall\u2019. On one occasion, her older sister chased her around the house with a carving knife. Christine had done nothing to provoke the attacks \u2014 \u2018her fury was all to do with the collapse of home life\u2019.

Also in the wallet was a MoneyGram receipt reflecting a $900 transfer to Russia by Tamerlan. But the prosecution made a case for Dzhokhar's equal participation on Wednesday, as they tried to connect him to the death of MIT police officer Sean Collier.

The row was revealed on the eve of a Tory revolt over defence in the Commons this week. Up to 30 Conservative MPs are thought to be backing a bid by John Baron, MP for Basildon and Billericay, to force a protest vote against defence cuts.

Alex Aimard aims his flare gun at his petrol-soaked parachute after jumping out of a plane over the Arizona . The fire from the gun causes the parachute to ignite and causes a blaze in the Mr Aimard's canopy . With just seconds to react and release the now flaming parachutes before the fire travelled down cords to their bodies, the pair free themselves. But luckily they also have an emergency parachute, meaning they then glide safely to the ground. The pair, who are both experienced professional skydivers and BASE jumpers, had meticulously planned the dangerous stunt, which took place earlier this year. Mr Jonsson, from Sweden, said: 'I was so focused on my task that I didn't have time to be scared or think about what could have gone wrong.' The fire then takes hold and starts to travel down the cords to their bodies meaning Mr Aimard has to quickly free themselves . After being freed, Mr Aimard then deploys his emergency parachute so he can glide safely back to the ground . While Mr Aimard, from France, added: 'Petter jumped first so when I exited the plane I saw something that I will never forget - a big cloud of smoke made by the explosion of his chute. 'It was like being part of a Rambo movie for real.' The duo had been taking part in a two-week online project called Living the Dream, when they travelled to Utah and Arizona to perform the sky dives. The potentially deadly fire stunt took place on the last day of their trip. Mr Aimard explained: 'We struggled with the weather conditions and the project was on hold for a few days due to a strong wind, which gave us plenty of time for preparation. 'When the wind finally slowed down, everything happened in a couple of hours. Petter Jonsson then attempts the stunt and shoots the kerosene soaked parachute with the flare gun . With the parachute in flames, Mr Jonsson then starts plummeting to earth at more than 120mph . But despite the dangerous stunt Mr Jonsson makes it safely back down to the ground thanks to his emergency parachute . 'Skydiving itself is not without danger and flying in a plane with two big buckets full of gas and two flare guns doesn't decrease the risk.

Astronomers believe mysterious 'alien signals' - previously dismissed as stellar bursts - are in fact coming from an Earth-like planet. The Gliese 581d planet was initially discovered in 2010 (artist's impression pictured) Now, a further study claims that the 2014 research was based on 'inadequate analyses of the data' and that Gliese 581d does exist. The planet was initially discovered in 2010. It was the first Earth-like planet found in the 'Goldilocks'-zone around another star. But soon after the discovery, a group of scientists said the signals thought to be from a planet were in fact simply magnetic bursts from stars. The latest study claims that the stellar bursts research was based on 'inadequate analyses of the data'. They said the method is suitable for large planets, but the technique is unable to find small planets like GJ 581d. Last year, Pennsylvania State University researchers said Gliese 581d - and its companion Gliese 581g - were simply a trick of the light caused by magnetic bursts from a local star 22 light-years away. The new British research, however, argues the method used by the Pennsylvania team was only suitable for large planets, and that it could miss small ones like GJ 581d. The study, by Queen Mary University, London and the University of Hertfordshire, claims to use a more accurate model on the existing data. 'The existence (or not) of GJ 581d is significant because it was the first Earth-like planet discovered in the 'Goldilocks'-zone around another star and it is a benchmark case for the Doppler technique,' said lead author, Dr Guillem Anglada-Escud\u00e9. 'There are always discussions among scientists about the ways we interpret data but I'm confident that GJ 581d has been in orbit around Gliese 581 all along.

Dieudonne M'bala M'bala, 48, used the rallying slogan 'Je Suis Charlie' to make a joke relating to gunman Amedy Coudlibaly, who murdered a policewoman and carried out the devastating attack on the kosher supermarket in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January. The provocative entertainer had denied any wrongdoing and said the case exposed the hypocrisy of a country which 'pretends' to be a bastion of free speech. Comedian: Dieudonne M'bala M'bala has been found guilty of 'apologising for terrorism' after posting a joke on Facebook which referred to the gunman behind the Paris kosher supermarket attack . He also maintained that he 'condemned the attacks without reservation and without any ambiguity.' But M'bala, who has previous convictions for anti-Semitism, was found guilty of 'apologising for terrorism' following his trial at the Palais de Justice in Paris. The court heard how, just days after the Paris attacks in January, he had posted on Facebook 'Tonight, as far as I'm concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly'. The post combined the 'Je Suis Charlie' slogan with the name of one of the gunman involved in the supermarket hostage. Terrorist Amedy Coulibaly was also a close friend of Sa\u00efd and Ch\u00e9rif Kouachi, the gunmen involved in the Charlie Hebdo shooting at the satirical magazine. Staff working at the publication's headquarters were targeted in January for drawing insulting cartoons about the Prophet Mohammed and for attacking Muslims generally. During the trial, defence barrister Sanjay Mirabeau said Dieudonne's arrest in January was disproportionate. Yet it was followed by police questioning more than 70 others for similar alleged crimes. Mr Mirabeau said the case against his client should be thrown out 'because it is the job of humourists to make people laugh'. He was given a two-month suspended prison sentence.

Called a 'quenelle', it has been described as a reverse Nazi salute, and was used by Anelka while he was playing for West Bromwich Albion. Al Qaeda in Yemen claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks, but intelligence officials believe the terror group provided inspiration, rather than any logistical or financial support.

As part of his own work, Dr Ramp is examining whether higher than average numbers of albino kangaroos in a certain population indicate that there are wider problems at hand, such as inbreeding.

Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said police forces needed more crime scene footage to match against their 12million images of suspects and offenders. And he called on families and businesses to install cameras at eye level \u2013 to exploit advances in facial recognition technology. Scroll down for video . Bernard Hogan Howe said families and businesses should install their own CCTV cameras to help catch burglars . But privacy campaigners condemned the Metropolitan Police Commissioner's suggestion. 'The proposals on increasing the amount of privately owned CCTV cameras are quite frankly Orwellian and risk turning members of the public into an extension of the police,' said Renate Samson of Big Brother Watch. 'Private CCTV is completely unregulated. Recommending greater use of CCTV to gather more images of people's faces \u2013 often innocent people's faces \u2013 undermines the security of each and every one of us.' She pointed out that a House of Commons committee had on Saturday released a report on the problems with facial recognition. Labour MP Andrew Miller said: 'We were alarmed to discover that the police have begun uploading custody photographs of people to the police national database and using facial recognition software without any regulatory oversight. Some of the people had not even been charged.' Sir Bernard said most cameras were mounted high to keep them out of harm's way and to give an overview of a crime area. He was speaking after Beverley Turner, wife of Olympic rower James Cracknell, challenged him on LBC Radio on whether CCTV could be used to catch burglars. Her house was burgled while she and her children were sleeping and footage from a neighbour's CCTV camera was too grainy to identify the thieves. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner said Britain needed more cameras to help fight crime and urged people to think about installing them . When Miss Turner asked if more cameras were needed in homes and businesses, Sir Bernard replied: 'Yes. We've got a strategy to encourage people to move their cameras down to eye level. 'Facial recognition software has got better, and we can now apply it to images of burglaries, and then compare them with images we take when we arrest people. 'What we need to be able to do is to be able to compare that photograph with the images we have of people committing a crime. 'Taking the tops of their heads is not that helpful for facial recognition which relies on the eyes and the configuration of the area around the nose and the mouth. So we're trying to get people to, ideally, add a camera at face level. 'If anyone listening has a business, think about installing a new one \u2013 they're relatively cheap. If you can't buy one, could you think about moving it?' Covert cameras disguised as clocks, clothes hooks, mirrors and even thermometers can be bought for as little as \u00a340.

Nick Clegg will promise new fathers six weeks of paternity leave if his party gets into government for a second term. The Liberal Democrats would triple the amount of leave for dads of newborns from the current two weeks \u2013 and pay them the maternity leave rate of \u00a3138.18 a week. It will be seen as a bid to woo women voters and young families ahead of the General Election, but will face concerns from the business community. Mr Clegg has already pushed for shared parental leave, which starts from next week (April 5). It means parents can split a year off work between them at statutory pay. This means that a mother who wishes to end her maternity leave \u2013 and pay \u2013 early to return to work, can hand over their entitlement to the child\u2019s father. But Mr Clegg and the business minister Jo Swinson announced today that fathers can have an extra four weeks leave at home with the child\u2019s mother, and both would be entitled to pay. Mr Clegg believes the two-week period fathers get is often treated as a holiday, and extending it would encourage men to be more involved in childcare. The policy will be in the party\u2019s manifesto and would be introduced in 2018-19 after consultation with businesses. They hope half a million fathers would benefit from the scheme which would cost \u00a358million a year, and be paid for once the deficit is cleared. Mr Clegg said today: \u2018The Liberal Democrats want to tear down the barriers that stop people reaching their full potential. For too long, mums have been told their place is at home with their child, while dads return to work. I want parents to choose for themselves how to balance work and family.\u2019 The entitlement would be under a \u2018use it or lose it\u2019 basis so fathers must start their six weeks\u2019 leave within eight weeks of their child\u2019s birth and cannot transfer it to the mother. Mr Clegg was promoting his policy to treble paternity leave to six weeks with Lib Dem minister Jo Swinson (right) as he visited Play Town soft play centre in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire . Labour have already pledged to increase paid paternity leave to four weeks \u2013 and increase paternity pay - which triggered criticism from small businesses that the costs would be prohibitive. But Lib Dem sources said the policy would help businesses retain staff who wanted to take time off with their families. Around 55pc of fathers take the full two weeks currently available.

Gabrielsson - the left wing journalist's partner of more than three decades - has not only questioned the motivation of the publishing house, but been hugely critical of the author chosen to follow in her late partner's footsteps. David Lagercrantz, a journalist and author best known as footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic's official biographer, is 'a completely idiotic choice' in her view. 'They say heroes are supposed to live forever. That's a load of c***, this is about money,' she said. 'It's about a publishing house that needs money, (and) a writer who doesn't have anything to write so he copies someone else.' Larsson had, in fact, begun work on a fourth book centering on protagonists Lisbeth Salander, a feisty rebel hacker-turned-detective, and Mikael Blomkvist, an investigative reporter, before his untimely death in 2004. Aged just 50, he suffered a heart attack as he walked the seven storeys to his office, where he worked as a journalist and editor of anti-fascist magazine Expo. The books were published posthumously, so Larsson never saw how successful the books were to become: so far, they have sold more than 75million copies in more than 30 languages, according to publisher Norstedts. However, Gabrielsson, 61, has dismissed any idea he had an overarching plan for the novels - a theory which has been used to justify the publication of this latest 500 page tome. She also revealed Lagercrantz had not seen the fourth manuscript, and 'started over from zero'. 'Everyone thinks there was some grand scheme but no, he had no plan for the first three books and when he started writing the fourth one, it was spontaneous. He still didn't have a plan,' she said. If it were up to her, none of this would have happened. 'I wouldn't have continued Stieg's work. It was his language, his unique narrative.' Furious?: Stieg Larsson - who died in 2004, before his trilogy became successful - had started work on the next book, but David Lagercrantz, who has picked up the baton, has started from scratch with his version . Gabrielsson says she views Lagercrantz is 'a completely idiotic choice' to continue Larsson's work, with even the 'very literary' title sitting badly with her. She said: '[He] comes from a completely different background. Everything has always been easy for him. He's never been an activist. Everything is wrong.' Gabrielsson, who met Larsson as a teenager, added: 'Let him dig his own", "summary": "Fourth installment in the Millennium Trilogy due to be published in August .

The flight crew also said the runway appeared 'all white' - covered in snow - when they broke out of the overcast sky and glimpsed it just moments before landing. Scroll down for video . Malfunction? Pilots of a Delta flight that skidded of a runway at LaGuardia during a snowstorm last week (pictured) have told investigators the breaks were not working . The plane's automatic spoilers - flaps on top of the wings that reduce lift and slow the plane down - did not deploy, but the first officer deployed them manually. The captain also reported he was unable to prevent the airplane from drifting to the left. Investigators said the plane was flying on autopilot until it was 230 feet off the ground, indicating a fairly routine landing until the very end. Delta Flight 1086 from Atlanta was carrying 127 passengers, including two lap children, plus five crew members, when it slid off the runway Thursday and skidded about 2,000 feet along a normally grassy area alongside the runway that was covered in snow. Close call: The flight crew also said the runway appeared 'all white' - covered in snow - when they broke out of the overcast sky and glimpsed it just moments before landing. The nose of the plane ended up over the water . For the last 940 of those feet, the plane's left wing was cutting through and destroying the airport's chain-link perimeter fence, investigators said. The aircraft came to rest with its nose leaning perilously on a berm that separates the runway from icy Flushing Bay. The plane suffered damage to the left wing, including a punctured fuel tank that caused a leak. The belly of the aircraft from the nose to the first passenger door and the nose itself also were damaged, investigators said. Since Delta took ownership of the MD-88 plane on Dec. 30, 1987, it had taken off and landed 54,865 times, investigators said. Spread out over the past 28 years, that means the plane flew an average of 5.5 flights a day. The MD-88 was a workhorse of U.S. domestic airlines for the past three decades, favored on short, frequent routes. This particular one had logged more than 71,000 hours - or nearly 3,000 full days - in the air. Investigators are also examining an identical MD-88 plane that landed at LaGuardia 13 minutes before the botched landing as a baseline for evaluating the data from Flight 1086.

Pilots with a history of depression should not be banned from flying commercial jets, a leading British psychiatrist has claimed. Professor Simon Wessely warned authorities against a knee-jerk reaction to Tuesday's Germanwings crash. He made the comments after it was revealed co-pilot Andreas Lubitz suffered from mental health issues and may have been receiving treatment for vision problems before he deliberately crashed the Airbus A320, killing all 150 people on board. Around 100 commercial pilots in the UK have a history of depression with 42 currently on medication, The Observer reported. Prof Wessely, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said the aviation industry should not rush to change the rules. He cited the response by health authorities to the crimes of Dr Harold Shipman, who is thought to have killed between 215 and 260 of his patients, as an example of ineffective policy. He said: 'It is not a good idea to rush. It is like the response to Shipman - an utterly bizarre and unpredictable event is not a good basis of policy. 'The procedures that they then brought in would not have prevented Shipman. 'What does cause trouble is saying that if you ever have a history of depression then you should not be allowed to do whatever. That is wrong, as much as saying that people with a history of broken arms shouldn't be allowed to do something.' Prof Wessely also stressed there was not a link between depression and aggressive suicide.

Andrei Alexandru Burnei was caught stealing just hours after he arrived in the country on March 9 and was arrested in Coventry. The 21-year-old was held overnight and released - but two days later he was caught trying to steal \u00a31,127 worth of vodka from Asda in Blackburn, hiding dozens of bottles beneath cheaper items in his trolley. Andrei Alexandru Brunei was caught stealing \u00a31,000 worth of vodka from Asda in Coventry - just three days after he arrived in the UK from Romania in a bid to look for work which had proved unsuccessful . Blackburn Magistrates' Court heard that Burnei, of Coventry, had come to the UK in hope of finding work but this had not materialised. On March 12 he was stopped as he left Asda in Blackburn because a security guard had become suspicious of him when he failed to make any eye contact. Burnei ran off but was eventually cornered and detained. His trolley was searched and found to be loaded with premium vodka, concealed beneath cheaper items from the store. Karen Saffman prosecuting, said: 'The value of his trolley load was extremely high.' At the hearing Burnei pleaded guilty to stealing the alcohol from Asda and was ordered to do 60 hours' unpaid work and pay a \u00a360 victim surcharge. The incident comes after Ionut Tudorache, 25, was jailed for nine months earlier this month. The Romanian pickpocket was caught working as part of an organised gang, stealing mobile phones from people at a Kasabian gig at Bournemouth's International Centre. Tudorache, who had been in the UK just a few days, was caught stashing 22 stolen mobile phones down a pair of tights he was wearing beneath his trousers. He claimed two Romanian men he had met had started stuffing the phones down his tights and he had no idea they were stolen. At a hearing at Blackburn Magistrates' Court Brunei was sentenced to 60 hours unpaid work for the theft . He was jailed for nine months. Like Tudorache, Brunei is unlikely to be deported due to strict laws on removing EU citizens. Peter Bone, 62, Conservative MP for Wellingborough said: 'This is outrageous. 'Only a few weeks ago I introduced a bill to Parliament that would have dealt with this very situation. I have been calling for foreign criminals to be sent back to their respective countries immediately - with no opportunity for them to return and commit further offences. 'It's my view that if someone comes into Britain and breaks the law, they have abused our hospitality and should be sent home and not be allowed to come in again.' Without a court recommendation or tougher prison sentence, he can now only be removed at the behest of the Home Secretary.

'What is a living wage will depend on the circumstances of the person earning it more than the amount being paid. \u2018What is a living wage for a student living at home is very different to a living wage to someone who is supporting family. \u2018I think there are a lot of people for whom \u00a36.70 an hour is a wage they can live on but it\u2019s not a wage everyone can raise a family on.\u2019 \u2018You have got to remember in retail the vast majority of jobs are part time so the amount you are earning per hour is irrelevant really,\u2019 he said. \u2018It\u2019s the amount you earn in total that will determine whether you can live on it or not. \u2018 .

Women are being forced out of the workplace because employers are ignoring the impact of the menopause, a campaigner for older workers has warned. Ros Altmann, who advises the Government on how to keep over-50s in the workforce, said that while other life-changing events are recognised by businesses, the menopause is still taboo. As a result, older women are being failed by employers. Dr Altmann, who is an expert on pensions and finance, said some women struggling with symptoms of the menopause are perceived to be under-performing and are forced out of their jobs. Others, tired of battling on, will choose to leave or go part-time. Dr Altmann warned that menopause is just \u2018not on the work radar\u2019. \u2018Pregnancy is, childbirth is, bereavement is, many other life phases are, but [menopausal women] get no support in the workplace,\u2019 she said. The average age that women go through the menopause in the UK is 51. However, 1 per cent of women face it before they hit 40. The symptoms, which range from hot flushes to sleepless nights, headaches and depression, can last for as long as 14 years. Even for an average woman, it takes seven and a half years for the body to adjust. Hormone replacement therapy can help but it is usually only prescribed for five years. Dr Altmann, who has written a report on how to keep older people working, said she would have to be brave to call for training on how to manage women going through the menopause because \u2018nobody ever wants to talk about that\u2019. She told the Sunday Times: \u2018A woman may come in one day\u2026 feeling awful and emotional and a lot of women find it hard to cope. You can\u2019t sleep at night because of night sweats or you flush in a meeting. \u2018Can you imagine telling a 40-year-old male manager you\u2019ve got a problem with the menopause? It\u2019s not going to happen. \u2018Sometimes, women themselves think, \u201cMy God, I can\u2019t cope any more\u201d and leave. \u2018Some drop to part-time work, even though they don\u2019t need to. \u2018We don\u2019t know how it affects people because it\u2019s not being managed.\u2019 In December, a leading fertility expert called for women workers to be given paid \u2018menstrual leave\u2019. Gedis Grudzinskas, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology, said female workers who feel under the weather every month should get up to three days off and that this should be separate from sick leave. The Harley Street professor said that his proposal was \u2018about employers being sensible and aware\u2019 about women in the workplace and trying to keep them there.

A Utah man who pleaded guilty to sending nude photographs of his estranged wife to her acquaintances has been sentenced to 60 days in jail. Shon Handrahan, 31, said he wasn't in his right mind when he sent the graphic images, which were accompanied with the words 'what do you think of your little angel now?', in 2012. Handrahan texted the images after his estranged wife ignored at least 100 text messages from him, some of which were threatening, according to authorities. 'I'm really sorry for what I've done,' Handrahan said in court on Tuesday. 'If I had been in the right mind, I wouldn't have done it.' Handrahan has already served 90 days in jail for the offense. Handrahan's case spurred Utah lawmakers to pass a new revenge porn bill that forbids the sharing of intimate images without the consent of the person pictured. A first offense is considered a misdemeanor, and repeat offenses are felonies. Handrahan was charged under old statutes - before the new law took effect. Handrahan texted numerous images with the tag line 'what do you think of your little angel now?' after his estranged wife ignored at least 100 text messages from him, according to authorities . Prosecutor Nathan Lyon wanted more jail time, saying he didn't see Handrahan 'accepting' much responsibility. 'This wasn't something he did all of a sudden,' Lyon said. 'This was something that had been building up all day long.' Defense attorney Edward Brass argued Handrahan accepted responsibility when he agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors last month. Handrahan pleaded guilty to distributing pornographic material and electronic communication harassment. The couple have since divorced. Handrahan's now ex-wife supported the deal and wanted to revolve the case quickly due to public attention her case was receiving, according to Lyon. Salt Lake City Democratic Representative Marie Poulson pushed for the revenge porn law, saying the practice most often targets women and can cause some to lose their jobs. \u2018These things are used to harm the other individual, to ruin their life or destroy them personally with their jobs or their families,' she told the Salt Lake Tribune.

Senior doctors have described the policies as \u2018blatant rationing\u2019 and say they are \u2018immoral\u2019 and \u2018unfair\u2019. An investigation has found that four in five health trusts refuse to fund some procedures for patients classified obese. Meanwhile two thirds of trusts deny some procedures for smokers . But managers said that given their increasingly limited budgets, it was inappropriate to offer certain non-urgent treatments to patients for which they might not be effective. The NHS as a whole is under severe financial strain and is struggling to meet the demands of the rising and increasingly ageing population. Last year its Chief Executive Simon Stevens predicted that an extra \u00a330 billion would need to go into its budget by 2020 just to ensure the standards of care did not slip. In the face of such financial pressure, many trusts have begun rationing procedures which aren\u2019t deemed urgent to save money.

Freedom of Information responses from 145 of the 211 Clinical Commissioning Groups, (CCGS), \u2013 local NHS bodies \u2013 showed that 38 per cent restricted some procedures for obese patients.

What\u2019s the best way for a young captain to get players playing together? I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the captain\u2019s total responsibility. To get all of the team together and playing off the same hymn sheet and playing together as a team, I think that it\u2019s a question of what goes on in the training sessions, what the coach or manager is asking of the players and encouraging the players to do. The captain plays an important role of course, as the game starts the manager or coach will have less chance to influence what\u2019s happening on the field of play and that\u2019s where the captain comes to the fore. He very much needs to be in tune with what the team is trying to do, how they\u2019re trying to play and what\u2019s s been agreed upon and hopefully what\u2019s agreed upon has been a matter of discussion and work amongst the players and training staff. Hodgson believes as an England captain, Wayne Rooney must be in tune with the rest of the players . It\u2019s also important that the players feel as though they trust their captain, hopefully look up to him but most importantly can go to the captain with their problems or doubts and with fears. And if he can\u2019t answer himself with the problems they have he can at least point them in the right direction. It\u2019s important for the captain to show he cares about all of the players and takes responsibility and, most importantly, accept that being captain puts more burden on him both before and after games, to lead from the front and if some of the unpleasant jobs sometimes need doing \u2013 with us at the level I\u2019m talking about it can mean spending more time with the press or doing things for the commercial department. The captain sometimes has to take more of a share of that work than some of the other players, he is the captain, he is the one that everyone wants to see and talk to. He is the one of course who has the most responsibility. It\u2019s a question of responsibility and making sure you\u2019re a good listener.

Hipps sent a text message that he didn't have enough money for the order of '30 McDonald's biscuits, 30 McDonald's hash browns and two gallons of chocolate milk,' but a fraternity brother confronted him on the bridge over the order, court records show. Hipps then went over the railing of the bridge into shallow water in Lake Hartwell head first, the lawsuits said, adding that a fraternity member shone a flashlight into the dark water below but took no further action to locate the student. Clemson University, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and the fraternity members could not be immediately reached for comment. It was not clear whether the defendants had retained attorneys.

Rolf Harris has finally been stripped of the CBE that was awarded to him by the Queen.

The paedophile, 84, had his honour annulled at the order of the Queen, days after being stripped of his Australian honours. Officials at the Cabinet Office had been accused of dragging their feet over the issue, but sources insisted they had to follow established procedures before removing the gong.

He said: \u2018I am delighted to hear that Rolf Harris has been stripped of his CBE. It is simply unacceptable convicted sex offenders like Rolf Harris should be allowed to make a mockery of our honours system.\u2019 When Harris, who was jailed in July last year for 12 indecent assaults against four girls between 1968 and 1986, was stripped of his Australian honours last week, there was widespread disbelief that he still held his coveted CBE in Britain.

Normal protocol sees honours forfeited where the person is considered to have brought the system into disrepute. A recommendation can be made by the Honours and Appointments Secretariat to the forfeiture committee to revoke an honour if a person has been found guilty of a criminal offence, and the final decision must be approved by the Queen. Harris was first honoured in the late 1960s with an MBE, followed by an OBE a decade later, and a CBE in 2006. During sentencing, Mr Justice Sweeney told him: 'Your reputation lies in ruins. You have been stripped of your honours and you have no one to blame but yourself.' Seven of the 12 counts related to the friend of Harris's daughter Bindi, including one incident when she was 15-years-old when he sexually assaulted her while Bindi slept in the adjacent bed. During his trial, Harris was revealed as a 'Jekyll and Hyde' character who had a dark side to his personality and used his fame to 'mesmerise' underage fans before abusing them with impunity.

British holidaymakers look set for cheaper European holidays after the pound hit its highest level against the euro for more than seven years. Sterling rose above 1.40 euros yesterday to a level not seen since December 2007 \u2013 giving British families more \u2018bang for their buck\u2019 on the Continent. The latest surge was seen as a vote of confidence in the British economy at a time when the euro is tumbling on global currency markets.

Linda Yellen (left) was a co-writer on Dennis Hopper's (right) final film before his death, The Last Film Festival. Five years after Hopper's passing, she decided it's time to finish the project . After Hopper's passing the cast and crew set aside the project until this year, when Yellen decided to pick it up. 'There's a wonderful thing that happens with time - perspective - and it was so hard for us to look at after he had died,' Yellen told Deadline. 'What forced me back into the editing room was the constant chatter on the Internet and emails wondering about the film, and we now feel we could do it without the pain that we once felt. 'That's the beauty of being an independent filmmaker you can put it on hold.' Yellen said she, the cast and crew only found out about Hopper's cancer just shortly before he died. 'He was a picture of health and vitality and he just gives a multilevel comedic act [in the film],' Yellen said. 'He had no idea he was sick; we had no idea he was sick.' Yellen hopes to raise $90,000 to finish The Last Film Festival (pictured above). In the film, Hopper plays a Hollywood producer who's film was rejected by every film festival except the small town O'Hi Film Festival . She turned to Kickstarter with a goal of raising at least $90,000 in hopes of reaching fans directly and using Hopper's idea of 'always looking for ways to go around the system', according to the Queens Courier. Though she reached her goal on Sunday night, the Kickstarter page will be open until April 9. The film is about the life of a Hollywood producer, played by Hopper, who's movie was rejected by every film festival except one: a small festival in the town of O'Hi. Though it takes place in a small town, the movie was actually filmed in Queens, including parts of Astoria and Forest Hills, where Yellen grew up, according to Fox News. The funds raised from the campaign will pay for post-production aspects, including sound, special effects, obtaining rights to use footage from other movies and editing. 'This is a way of [the fans] saying we want this and we want to say we support this film and this comedy,' Yellen told the Courier. 'This picture was made as a labor of love.

Chairman Sir Richard Ottaway added that a 'troubling pattern' of reduced freedoms was emerging as Hong Kong's autonomy comes 'under pressure'. The parliamentary committee urged the UK government to be more outspoken in support of democracy in Hong Kong, warning that failing to do so could damage Britain's reputation there. The committee also accused the British Government of abandoning its 'moral obligation' to support democracy in the former UK colony. The report added that Britain 'can and should take a position' on democratic reforms in Hong Kong, a former British colony that returned to Chinese rule in 1997. Candidates in Hong Kong's first public vote for a leader in 2017 will be vetted by a Beijing committee, meaning voters will not be offered a 'genuine choice', the MPs said. They argued that Britain's reputation in Hong Kong may be damaged if the Government does not speak up in support of democracy, and urged the UK to take 'an unambiguous position on its expectations for constitutional reform'. Tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong turned out for pro-democracy protests that rocked the city for 11 weeks last year.

They had been driving at this speed since 1977, until it was realised 18 months ago that defence chiefs had wrongly assumed they were exempt from laws restricting tracked vehicles to 20mph. The top speed was therefore halved to 20mph in October 2013 to comply with the 1984 Road Traffic Regulation Act, but the Department for Transport is now proposing to put it back to 40mph. New limit? Armoured tracked vehicles had been driving at 40mph since 1977, until it was realised 18 months ago that defence chiefs had wrongly assumed they were exempt from road traffic laws (file picture) Ministers are worried that the 20mph limit is causing more congestion and raising possible safety concerns, as well as preventing proper training of tank crews to operate safely on public roads. They also believe travelling at slow speeds increases the vibrations of some tanks which can harm the health of crews over long periods, as well as causing wear and tear on roads and the vehicles. The DfT, which is now consulting on plans to raise the limit, added that actual operating speeds would still depend on careful risk assessments by the military and specific vehicle capabilities. Tracked vehicles such as the AS90 self-propelled gun and Stormer missile carrier can often be seen on rural roads close to army firing ranges in Wiltshire, Dorset and Pembrokeshire. A DfT spokesman said: \u2018The plans under consultation will help address congestion that can be created by slow-moving vehicles on faster roads. \u2018Increasing the maximum speed limit to 40mph will also reduce costs of higher fuel consumption and the time taken for training and testing when vehicles are limited to 20mph.\u2019 Frequent sight: Tracked vehicles can often be seen on rural roads close to army firing ranges in Dorset, Pembrokeshire and Wiltshire - where a Challenger tank at Salisbury Plain is pictured in this file image .

The Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria was found in animals at the Tulane National Primate Research Center in Louisiana, which is just 35 miles north of New Orleans. The bacteria, primarily found in south-east Asia, can spread to animals and humans through direct contact with contaminated soil and water. A potentially deadly bacteria has been accidentally released from a high-security research laboratory leading to serious safety fears (stock image) But despite thorough investigations by multiple authorities the cause of the release and extent of the contamination are still unknown. It is the latest in a series of significant accidents that have taken place across the country. Richard Ebright, a biosafety expert from Rutgers University in New Jersey, said the release was worrying. Burkholderia pseudomallei can cause a potentially serious disease in people and animals called melioidosis. Melioidosis commonly involves the lungs and has a wide range of symptoms including fever, headache, loss of appetite, muscle and joint pain. It is often mistaken as pneumonia or tuberculosis. Several countries have studied using the bacteria as a bioweapon because strains can be resistant to multiple antibiotics. If the disease is left untreated it is fatal. The overall mortality rate is 40 per cent but in Thailand, where the bacteria is endemic, it is up to 50 per cent. Confirmed infections are relatively rare. 'The fact that they can't identify how this release occurred is very concerning,' he told USA Today. 'Human error is always the first explanation you should consider for a laboratory accident. The easiest way to transfer something from one place where it's supposed to be, to another where it isn't supposed to be is by a worker moving from one place to the other.' Research was being completed at the center using rodents to try and find a vaccine against the bacteria. But at least four rhesus macaques - monkeys that were kept in a separate part of the 500-acre facility - have been accidentally exposed to it. The first was discovered nearly three months ago in November and two have since died. All four were in the center's veterinary hospital at the same time, leading to speculation that it could have been where the animals were exposed. At least four rhesus macaques - monkeys that were kept in a separate part of the 500-acre facility - have been exposed to the bacteria (stock image) But one US Department of Agriculture (USDA) investigator was also hospitalised after blood tests showed she had antibodies indicating a current or prior exposure to the bacteria. She is now recovering. Authorities are concerned that too few samples have been taken to decide whether livestock and domestic animals are at risk. Only 39 soil samples were taken from the grounds - far less than the 100 recommended by previous research completed in Thailand.

Experts say donor organs are declining in quality with more now coming from the elderly or those damaged by lifestyle. The NHS is trying to increase the numbers of willing organ donors because so many patients are dying waiting for transplants. Doctors could give transplant patients organs from cancer victims, drug addicts, and those with infections under new plans (file picture) And one of the plans reportedly been considered is offering patients transplants using organs from people who would have usually had them rejected after being deemed to 'high-risk'. According to the Sunday Times, the proposals would create a special 'fast track' waiting list for the high risk organs. Dr Titus Augustine, director of transplantation at Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, told the newspaper: 'One of the things that we have been looking at is trying to match risk with risk. 'There are people on the lost who are willing to take that risk, accept kidneys from people with known infection risk or cancer risk.' Organs are deemed high risk if they come from cancer patients, intravenous drug users and those with a history of having high-risk sex lives. However, Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have said they rejected a research proposal looking into high-risk organ donation. A spokesperson said: 'The Trust submits hundreds of research proposals and applications for funding every year. 'This was an application for funding for a research project looking in to offering patients at risk of dying without transplantation organs considered high risk. 'This proposal was rejected by the funding body and therefore will not be progressing any further.'

This represented a quarter of the 1,320 transplanted and included donors who were former addicts, cancer sufferers or those aged over 71. The 333 figure was almost certainly an underestimate because it does not include donations from smokers, the obese or the very sexually active who may have HIV or other infections. But Bryon Jaques, who worked for Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals before emigrating to Australia, warned the NHS drive to increase donations was flawed. It comes after it emerged that two patients had died after being given kidneys from a homeless alcoholic infected with a rare parasitic worm.

In February, for instance, several wrote online pieces for American Heart Month, with each including a mini-can of Coke or small soda as a snack idea. The mentions \u2014 which appeared on nutrition blogs and other sites including those of major newspapers \u2014 show the many ways food companies work behind the scenes to cast their products in a positive light, often with the help of third parties who are seen as trusted authorities. Challenges: Coca-Cola, which struggles with declining soda consumption in the U.S., is working with fitness and nutrition experts who suggest its cola as a healthy treat (file photo) Ben Sheidler, a Coca-Cola spokesman, compared the February posts to product placement deals a company might have with TV shows. 'We have a network of dietitians we work with,' said Sheidler, who declined to say how much the company pays experts. 'Every big brand works with bloggers or has paid talent.' Other companies including Kellogg and General Mills have used strategies like providing continuing education classes for dietitians, funding studies that burnish the nutritional images of their products and offering newsletters for health experts. PepsiCo Inc. has also worked with dietitians who suggest its Frito-Lay and Tostito chips in local TV segments on healthy eating. Others use nutrition experts in sponsored content; the American Pistachio Growers has quoted a dietitian for the New England Patriots in a piece on healthy snacks and recipes and Nestle has quoted its own executive in a post about infant nutrition. For Coca-Cola Co., the public relations strategy with health experts in February focused on the theme of 'Heart Health & Black History Month.' The effort yielded a radio segment and multiple online pieces. One post refers to a 'refreshing beverage option such as a mini can of Coca-Cola.' Another suggests 'portion-controlled versions of your favorites, like Coca-Cola mini cans, packs of almonds or pre-portioned desserts for a meal.' The focus on the smaller cans isn't surprising. Sugary drinks have come under fire for fueling obesity rates and related ills, and the last time Coke's annual U.S. soda volume increased was in 2002, according to the industry tracker Beverage Digest. More recently, the company is pushing its mini-cans as a guilt-free way to enjoy cola. The cans also fetch higher prices on a per ounce basis, so even if people are drinking less soda, Coke says it can grow sales. In a statement, Coca-Cola said it wants to 'help people make decisions that are right for them' and that like others in the industry, it works with health experts 'to help bring context to the latest facts and science around our products and ingredients.'

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg claims that under his plans the UK can become the 'powerhouse of Europe' The plan will involve ring-fencing the \u00a34.6 billion science budget, with a commitment to increasing it in real terms once the deficit is eliminated. The party's manifesto will also commit to doubling innovation spending across the economy, increasing the Government contribution in real terms by 2020-21 from \u00a3454 million in 2014-15 to more than \u00a31 billion. Mr Clegg will say: 'The Liberal Democrats have rescued the economy and led the recovery. Now is the time to be ambitious about our future. 'We believe that by building a strong, modern, open economy we can become the powerhouse of Europe. We can grow faster than both France and Germany, overtaking them as the largest economy in Europe in 20 years' time. 'That is hugely ambitious but absolutely possible. To do it we need two things: to secure the recovery; and to put in place an ambitious long-term plan that harnesses and encourages the skills and dynamism of British workers and British businesses.' Experts say Germany is being held back by a declining population and the impact of the eurozone crisis which continues to dog the single currency. Business Secretary Vince Cable will use today's event to highlight his commitment to the European Union and encouraging international students to come to the UK - both issues the Lib Dems have clashed with the Conservatives over in government. Mr Cable will say: 'In Government, the Liberal Democrats have enacted important reforms to move Britain away from a culture of short-termism to one where business and government thinks long-term beyond the political cycle. 'Our industrial strategy has laid the foundations to give business the confidence to invest over a number of years by planning for the provision of skills, finance and innovation.

Seth Jeffs wants to double the amount of water it can draw from an aquifer in the 140-acre compound about 30 miles from Mount Rushmore. His request prompted concerns from neighbors and law enforcement about the possibility of members being displaced from their enclave on the Utah-Arizona border. He told state authorities that members of the United Order of South Dakota, a trust run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) need more water for gardens, orchards and herds of animals. Seth Jeffs (pictured left), the brother of imprisoned cult leader Warren Jeffs (right) has applied to double the water available to the group's South Dakota compound, sparking fears of an influx of members there . Women and girls from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) can be seen wearing prairie dresses in Hildale, Utah . But with few details available and considering the group's troubled history, residents are worried members are planning a mass exodus from other areas to make Black Hills their new home. Warren Jeffs and other church leaders have been convicted of sexually assaulting underage girls . And while Seth Jeffs pleaded guilty in 2006 to harboring his then-fugitive brother, he did not face any sex abuse charges. South Dakota officials said that the local members of the FLDS, a radical offshoot of mainstream Mormonism, have never been in trouble with the law there. But Linda Van Dyke Kilcoin, one of several neighbors who filed petitions to intervene in the group's water request, said: 'As locals, we know what is going on in there and we don't want to see it expand. 'We value our 12-year-old girls in South Dakota.' An aerial shot shows buildings inside Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints compound near Pringle, South Dakota. The sect has applied to double the amount of water it can take from an aquifer . A log-cabin-style home is among the buildings on the FLDS compound that has nearly 50,000 square feet of residential space . Seth Jeffs declined to comment to The Associated Press, but told a local newspaper in January the compound is 'not growing right now' and members 'just need more water.' The request for more will likely be acted on in May. But Ms Kilcoin doubts it's for crop production. 'They're not going to irrigate. You ever been to Pringle? It's bedrock,' she said. 'You can't grow anything down there. They're bringing in a whole pile of people.' The group has said about 75 people live at the South Dakota ranch, according to a 2014 drinking water report filed with the state.

On Wednesday, HarperCollins unveiled the jacket art for Lee's Go Set a Watchman, the unexpected follow-up to her classic To Kill a Mockingbird. The new cover, like the one for 1960's To Kill a Mockingbird, is a moody illustration featuring an oak tree in front. The art for Go Set a Watchman also shows train tracks and a train in the distance. In a statement released by HarperCollins, company President Michael Morrison noted that Go Set a Watchman begins with Mockingbird protagonist Scout Finch returning by train 20 years later, in the 1950s, to her native Alabama. Revealed: Publisher Harper Collins have released the official cover for Go Set a Watchman, set to be released July 14 (US jacket pictured left). It is the first novel from Pulitzer Prize-winner author Harper Lee since To Kill A Mockingbird in 1960 . HarperCollins has announced a first printing of two million copies and a July 14 publication date. However the release of the book has been mired with controversy since the publisher confirmed it in February. The announcement came just three months after the death of Lee's older sister, lawyer and gatekeeper, Alice Lee. Harper and Alice Lee lived together at a nursing home in Monroeville, Alabama. Alice was 103 when she died on November 17. Lee once described her sister Alice as 'Atticus in a skirt', referring to her beloved Mockingbird character Atticus Finch, which is believed to have originally been inspired by the women's father. Lee retreated into an intensely private life following the fame that To Kill A Mockingbird garnered her and repeatedly refused to publish another novel, maintaining her stance for over 50 years. Some in Monroeville subsequently question whether the 88-year-old was capable of now consenting to the second novel's publication. A longtime friend came forward claiming Lee is mostly deaf, blind and in poor health. Others questioned whether her mental health was sound enough to make such a decision. However, after launching an investigation, Alabama Securities Commission Director Joseph Borg said earlier this month his agency reviewed the matter at the Department of Human Resources' request, and that Lee answered questions to an investigator's satisfaction. They have since closed the case. Sameness: The cover for Lee's second book is much like her first, 1960's Pulitzer prize-winning piece To Kill A Mockingbird. Pictured right is the UK jacket of the upcoming book . A high-ranking state official said DHR opened its investigation after the second novel's announcement. The status of the DHR investigation was unclear. The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The New York Times reported that investigators interviewed staff at The Meadows assisted living facility where Lee resides, as well as friends and acquaintances.

Unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the BH-03 concept tires combine thermoelectric and piezoelectric materials that generate electricity as the tire rolls. 'This tire generates electricity through the action of materials in the tire that capture and transform the energy created by heat when it flexes as it rolls during normal driving conditions,' Goodyear said in a statement. Scroll down for video . Hot idea: The Goodyear BH-03, unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show, uses two advanced material technologies to capture extra energy from normal wear and tear . Yahoo! reports that the thermoelectric fibers are woven into the tire, converting energy generated through friction caused by the tire's contact with the road. Piezoelectric material would also capture energy generated in the normal physical deformation by strain energy harvesting. It's not clear that the tire could produce the type of energy needed to add significant miles to an electric car's travel radius. A study published in 2012 in Smart Materials and Structures found strain energy harvesting through piezoelectric tire materials was feasible, but the experiment looked to power wireless sensors, not an entire vehicle. The company also unveiled another concept that could take drivers off the beaten path. Showcasing its new Triple Tube tires on the Lexus LF-SA concept car, Goodyear says the tire design has three tubes that can be inflated or deflated to respond to road conditions. High concept: The Lexus LF-SA concept car, also unveiled, showcased Goodyear's Triple Tube tires, which use three inflating and deflating tubes to transform the tire's shape to adapt to road conditions .

CNET points out that Goodyear has used Geneva to launch forward-thinking - though not quite market-ready - concepts before, having shown off a tire with two separate rings for different road conditions at last year's auto show.

+{"article": "A spate of motor accidents involving tourists have prompted concerned New Zealand motorists to confiscate the keys of foreigners to prevent them from driving. Following the death of eight people in crashes involving tourists in the past fortnight, five incidents of key confiscation have been reported in the nation's South Island, an area which featured heavily in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy films. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said that 'people taking the law into their own hands is not sensible'. Diesel mechanic Robert Penman, of Dunedin, took the keys of a Chinese couple when they stopped their car in the middle of a one lane road, and waited for police to attend the incident . Foreign drivers are involved in 37% of road crashes in the Westland District, on the South Island's West Coast, despite only 6% of crashes overall in the country involving tourists. 558 crashes involving tourists occurred in the past 12 months, with over 75% of the accidents found to be the fault of the foreign driver, reported The Mercury. New Zealand Police's Assistant Commissioner of Road Policing, Dave Cliff, told CNN that the incidents of key confiscation were hard to police as there was no specific law relating to the issue. He reiterated that violence, even to prevent a tourist driving 'dangerously' would not be tolerated, 'and anyone found doing so should expect to face the consequences'. Assistant Commissioner Cliff's comments follow the assault of a tourist driving on the West Coast by a man who was unhappy with his driving. The tourist was punched in the face and had his keys taken from him, with local police labelling the incident unnecessary and 'nasty', reported The New Zealand Herald. 'I have no problem with doing it again. If it saves people's lives I have no problem with it,' said Mr Penman . 30,000 people have signed a petition, currently before Parliament, to force tourists to sit a safety test before being allowed to drive on New Zealand roads . A family of four from Hong Kong collided with a logging truck, killing all in the vehicle . West Coast's Grey District Mayor Tony Kokshoorn, said while there was definitely an issue in the area, he was worried that 'extremist behaviour' from local drivers were becoming more common. He labelled the violence 'disgraceful' and 'inappropriate', and called for greater driver education. The Assistant Commissioner assured the New Zealand public at the time that police were not complacent about driver safety, but urged people to contact police if they were concerned, rather than resorting to the confiscation of keys.

The \u2018unprecedented\u2019 finding suggests that the disease starts to eat away at the brain half a century before symptoms develop. This is a \u2018much younger age than the scientists ever imagined\u2019. The discovery raises the prospect of giving people drugs in the very earliest stages, when it is easiest to treat, and even stopping the disease in its tracks. However, British experts cautioned that the research is still at an early stage. Crucially, it isn\u2019t known how many people who have the early signs of Alzheimer\u2019s in their brains in their 20s will go on to develop the disease. Alzheimer\u2019s and other forms of dementia affect more than 800,000 Britons and, worldwide, the number of sufferers is predicted to treble to 44million by 2050 as the population ages. With no cure for dementia and existing drugs of limited use, the Prime Minister David Cameron has described dementia as \u2018the key health challenge of this generation\u2019. Researchers, from Northwestern University in Chicago, examined the brains of elderly people with and without Alzheimer\u2019s, as well as samples taken from 13 people aged between 20 and 66. These younger people were free of memory problems when they died. Tests showed that beta-amyloid, the toxic protein that clogs up the brain in Alzheimer\u2019s, had started building up in people as young as 20. It had been thought that the damage to the brain started just 15 or 20 years before the disease takes hold. Lead researcher Professor Changiz Geula said: \u2018Discovering that amyloid begins to accumulate so early in life is unprecedented.\u2019 The amyloid clumps were found inside neurons, or brain cells, that are involved in memory and attention and are among the first to die in normal ageing, as well as in Alzheimer\u2019s. The professor said: \u2018This points to why those neurons die early. The lifelong accumulation of amyloid likely contributes to the vulnerability of these cells. \u2018The growing clumps likely damage and eventually kill the neurons.\u2019 Scientists around the world are trying to make drugs that stop Alzheimer\u2019s in its tracks. They believe the key to treatment will be to give the medicines as early as possible in the disease. But doctors called for more research to be carried out with not everyone who showed signs of Alzheimer's developing the disease . Even delaying the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s would have a massive impact on the lives of sufferers and their loved ones. The Alzheimer\u2019s Society gave the research, which is published in the journal Brain a cautious welcome. Dr James Pickett, the charity\u2019s head of research said the study was very small and that it is already known that not everyone with amyloid clumps will develop Alzheimer\u2019s.

Froome's comments come in the wake of a damning report by the Cycling Independent Reform Commission to address doping in the sport and criticism from Olympic champion Nicole Cooke that the 2013 Tour de France winner was allowed a therapeutic use exemption to compete at the Tour de Romandie last year. 'I for one welcome 24hr testing. It may be an inconvenience but if it can help clean up the sport that I love lets do it,' Froome said on his official Twitter account. Champion cyclist Chris Froome says he would welcome 24hour drug testing in the sport he loves . Froome trains for Team SKY in the mountains of Alcudia, Spain in January . Cooke has called on cycling's governing body, the UCI, to do more to police the 'disturbing grey area' of TUEs and believes Team Sky rider Froome should not have been granted a TUE for a powerful corticosteroid to compete at the 2014 Tour de Romandie after complaining of chest pains. The former Olympic and world road-race champion who retired from cycling two years ago, wrote in The Guardian that UCI president Brian Cookson should apologise to the rest of the riders in the race for failing them. 'I don't think it is at all right that Chris should have the race and prize money taken off him retrospectively, but Cookson needs to issue a very clear message: he should be apologising to the rest of the riders for failing them,' Cooke said. 'That TUE application should not have been approved; Froome and Sky should have had a clear choice of either riding without steroids or pulling out. 'I never found I could be anywhere near the front of a long race when I was ill.' Froome has been criticised for winning the 2014 Tour de Romandie while taking therapeutic drugs . The Sky cyclist's greatest achievement thus far has been winning the 2013 Tour de France . The CIRC report, published on Monday, showed how the culture and previous practices of the UCI allowed Lance Armstrong to cheat, including the retrospective issuing of a TUE to cover up a positive test at the 1999 Tour de France. When the granting of Froome's TUE came to light last June, the UCI and the World Anti-Doping Agency said procedures had been properly followed. But Cooke feels Cookson should not leave himself open to a situation where he could be accused of favouring a Sky rider - 'the Sky team of which Cookson was a founding board member,' she said. However, Cookson said the rules had subsequently been tightened to ensure all TUE applications went through an independent committee. 'Ms Cooke's accusation is simply wrong,' said Cookson, who since ousting Pat McQuaid as UCI president has overseen the CIRC report that sought to shed light on cycling's darkest days and introduced new anti-doping measures.

The agate tool was uncovered under a thick layer of volcanic ash dating back to the eruption of Mount St Helens 15,800 years ago. Scientists believe the primitive knife, discovered 12ft (3.6 metres) below ground, was used for cutting animal hides, butchering meat, and carving wood by pre-Clovis people. Archaeologists have uncovered a stone tool in Oregon that suggests humans occupied the western US earlier than thought. The agate tool was uncovered under a thick layer of volcanic ash dating back to the eruption of Mount St Helens 15,800 years ago . The find, at Rimrock Draw Rockshelter, was announced today by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which controls the land on which the site was found. Archaeologist Scott Thomas said that if the age of the area holds up to scrutiny, it would be the oldest pre-Clovis find west of the Rockies. It would also be older than another predating the so-called Clovis culture, once generally believed to be the first people to migrate from Asia into North America. The earliest Clovis artifacts, known for distinctive and elegant stone points, are dated to about 13,000 years ago. Professor Patrick O'Grady from Oregon University called the find 'tantalising.' The find, at Rimrock Draw Rockshelter, was announced today by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which controls the land on which the site was found. Archaeologist Scott Thomas said that if the age of the area holds up to scrutiny, it would be the oldest west of the Rockies . But he added that they want to continue digging this summer to see whether the volcanic ash covers the entire area. Donald Grayson, professor of archaeology at the University of Washington, said the scientific community would be skeptical. Two pre-Clovis sites are well documented and generally accepted by scientists. One is Paisley Cave, located about 60 miles southwest of the Rimrock site. The other is Monte Verde in Chile. Both are dated about 1,000 years before the oldest Clovis sites. If the date of Rimrock holds up, it would put people at the site about 1,500 years earlier, at the end of the Pleistocene era, when mastodons, mammoths, camels, horses and bison roamed the area. Much of discoveries at these sites indicate the people were involved in hunting, gathering and fishing, for which they used bone tools. Some sites suggest that pre-Clovis people sometimes lived in hut clusters. Many were situated along the coastline, suggesting a marine lifestyle. Many archaeologists favour the theory that they came over the Bering Strait crossing from northeastern Asia. 'No one is going to believe this until it is shown there was no break in that ash layer, that the artifact could not have worked its way down from higher up, and until it is published in a convincing way,' he said.

John Stones reminded Everton how badly they had missed him during their awful exit from the Europa League in midweek. The 20-year-old, left out by Roberto Martinez in Dynamo Kiev who picked Antolin Alcarez instead, returned to the starting line-up with a strong defensive display at QPR. Stones and Phil Jagielka made 41 clearances between them to limit Rangers to just one shot on target. Everton have lost just three of the 12 games the pair have played as centre backs since Stones recovered from injury. John Stones was impressive for Everton in their win over QPR on Sunday . 2. England boss Roy Hodgson seems to rate Andros Townsend far higher than Mauricio Pochettino does. The winger got dragged off by his Spurs boss after just 58 minutes of the 4-3 win over Leicester \u2013 meaning he\u2019s been hooked early in all the last eight matches he has started for his club. Of 32 appearances in a Tottenham shirt this season he\u2019s only completed 90 minutes on seven occasions.

Brennan announced the restructuring to the CIA workforce Friday. He said the move comes after nine outside experts spent three months analyzing the agency's management structure, including what deputy CIA director David Cohen called 'pain points,' organizational areas where the CIA's bureaucracy does not work efficiently. Briefing reporters with Cohen at CIA headquarters this week, Brennan said the changes are necessary to address intelligence gaps that the CIA is not covering. He lamented that there is often no single person he can hold accountable for the spying mission in any given part of the world. Not your grandparents' CIA: The CIA is launching one of the biggest reorganizations in its history, aimed in part at sharpening its focus on cyber operations and incorporating digital innovations into intelligence gathering .

'There are a lot of areas that I would like to have better insight to, better information about, better access to,' Brennan said. 'Safe havens, denied areas. Whether because we don't even have a diplomatic presence in a country, or because there are parts of countries that have been overrun and taken over by terrorist groups and others.' On the cyber front, the CIA chief said he is establishing a new 'Directorate of Digital Innovation' to lead the agency's efforts to track and take advantage of advances in cyber technology. US officials said that Brennan decided the agency had to increase the resources and emphasis it devoted to cyberspace because advanced communications technology is rapidly becoming pervasive. Historically, electronic eavesdroppers at the National Security Agency have been at the cutting edge of digital innovation within the US government. But the CIA felt that it too had to reorganize to keep up with the technological 'pace of change,' as one official put it. Brennan said the new digital directorate will have equal status within the agency with four other directorates which have existed for years. 'Our ability to carry out our responsibilities for human intelligence and national security responsibilities has become more challenging' in today's digital world, Brennan said.

A pair of 17-year-old schoolboys and a 19-year-old man were intercepted in Turkey after their parents realised they had fled to join the terrorist group. They dialled 999 and British police quickly tipped off their Turkish counterparts. Officials swooped on the group within minutes of their flight touching down in Istanbul. Three British teenagers who were stopped in Turkey while allegedly on their way to Syria to join the Islamic State are now back in the UK, police say . The three were brought back to Britain where they were questioned at a high-security London police station on suspicion of preparing acts of terrorism. But last night they were released on bail. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: \u2018They have been bailed to return to a central London police station pending further inquiries.\u2019 Investigators hope to discover how they planned to reach the war zone and why they decided to try to do so. The case highlights the difficult balancing act the security services face in dealing with would-be jihadists desperate to sign up to the militant Islamist cause. Security chiefs are increasingly desperate to get into often closed communities and understand what is attracting our young people to such a barbaric organisation. Yet criminal suspects are unlikely to talk freely about their motivation or reveal the identities of other potential militants. Last week Scotland Yard chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said the three schoolgirls who fled to Syria from East London would not face prosecution if they came home. This is despite the fact they successfully reached IS and at least two of them are known to have communicated with wanted terrorists. Two 17-year-old boys from north-west London were detained in Istanbul along with a third male aged 19, the Met Police have said. They are believed to have been travelling to join Isis (stock picture) The latest three teenagers were seized at Istanbul airport on Friday evening towards the end of their journey to the Syrian border. They arrived after travelling via Barcelona, possibly in a bid to evade detection. The two 17-year-olds, both from North-West London, were caught after a tip-off from their families. But the security services discovered they were travelling with a third man, aged 19, and he too was arrested. The three travellers, whose initials are said to be GH, MA and MNG, were arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts after police returned them to London on Saturday morning. The offence carries a potential life sentence. Sources in Turkey said there is some evidence the three communicated with terrorists about how best to evade the authorities. None of them are believed to be connected to any high-profile IS terrorists. More than 600 Britons have fled the country for Syria and Iraq since the appalling explosion of violence in the region began.

Did you know that you only need to use product on your scalp and no necessarily the ends? By working your shampoo into the top section of your hair and then rinsing it out, it automatically cleanses the ends and stops damage occurring in the lengths. Extreme care should be taken when washing your hair and while you may think scrubbing hard will thoroughly cleanse it, that couldn't be further from the truth. Putting too much pressure on your scalp can actually result in greasier hair. As Barton explains: 'Don\u2019t rub your scalp too vigorously. This will encourage oil secretion from the sebaceous gland'. Stylists also say it's imperative to rinse your hair for twice the amount of time as lathering on product and never use hot water. 'Women often wash their hair with water which is too hot, thinking it will make hair cleaner,' said Barton. Washing your hair in tepid water is better for the follicles with the added bonus of saving money on your bills. 'The hot water activates the sebaceous gland which secretes oil and can leave hair greasy soon after washing. Use warm, tepid water for ultra clean hair and to extend the life of your blow dry.'

Sick: The terrorist organisation released shocking footage at the end of February purportedly showing jihadis destroying 3,000-year-old artworks with sledgehammers in their northern Iraqi stronghold . Speaking to German news programme Deutsche Welle, Al-Mahdi said: 'None of the artifacts are originals... They were copies. The originals are all here.' The museum director's claims appear to back-up those made by experts on the Iraqi statues. Within hours of the original ISIS propaganda video being released, analysts questioned why the statues appeared to crumble so easily. Others stated that they couldn't possibly be 3,000 years old as some of the are clearly held together by iron poles - a considerably more modern practice.

'There were two items that were real and which the militants destroyed. One is a Winged Bull and the other was the God of Rozhan,' the Saudi-based Al Arabiya news organisation quoted him as saying. The Winged Bull, which is seen being smashed with sledgehammers in the video, is probably one which stood at the gates of Nineveh in the 7th century BC, claimed the International Business Times.

A drug addicted mother who fed her toddler son a heroin substitute to 'knock him out' so she could smoke crack has been jailed for six years. Kelly Emery, 34, was convicted of the manslaughter of son Fenton Hogan, two, at Nottingham Crown Court after a jury heard she had deliberately given her son methadone to make him sleep. The mother refused to give evidence at her trial insisting that she had never given her child the drug, despite being negligent in leaving bottles of it 'lying around' her house. The Crown alleged that Emery gave the heroin substitute to Fenton to 'knock him out' so she could smoke crack cocaine. Fenton, who had no obvious injuries, was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital from the family's former home. Emery, formerly of Frankley, Birmingham, was given a concurrent 12-month prison sentence after admitting gross neglect of Fenton by allowing him access to methadone. But the seven woman, five man jury cleared her of giving the toddler methadone on two other occasions before his death in July 2013. In a statement issued after the case, Detective Inspector Bob Sutton, who led a West Midlands Police investigation into the death, said: 'Any child death is a tragedy. 'Fenton Hogan should have had the rest of his live to look forward to. 'Instead his short life was taken by the actions of his mother, who should have been there to safeguard and protect him.' The officer said of Emery: 'Her daily routine revolved around the consumption of drugs. This was to the detriment of those she had direct care for. 'Fenton's extended family agrees that no sentence is sufficient or will help to heal what happened to Fenton. The impact of Kelly's actions will remain with all of the family forever.' Blood samples taken from the child showed he had as much of the drug on his system as an adult on methadone maintenance therapy.

Reading the note when she got home, the mother-of-one spotted the words 'Wilkes syndrome' written in brackets beside details of her cyst removal.

The panelled bar, with its saddles on the walls, open fires (not lit) and exposed timber beams provide some atmosphere, but the best part is the dining room up a short flight of stairs, with its mish-mash of tables and chairs, some of which are lovely antique jobs.

'Those feelings were obviously not well-received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. 'Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk.

Instead, the primary school will show the eclipse on a live feed inside the school premises. Whitchurch Primary School in Cardiff said it will not let children watch Friday's solar eclipse amid fears they could be blinded . The partial solar eclipse is due to take place at 8.45am on Friday, March 20, and will be visible for thousands of kilometres. The decision came following an email which was reportedly sent to the schools by Cardiff Council. The memo advised schools to read a leaflet from the Royal Astronomical Society on how to observe an eclipse safely. Advice in the leaflet states that 'the sun is so bright that just looking at it can blind you, so you'll need to prepare beforehand'. A council spokeswoman said: 'We are not telling schools they should not allow children out. 'We have left that decision to the schools. We are providing schools with a copy of the Royal Astronomical Society's advice.' Cardiff Council sent advice to schools from the Royal Astronimical Society, explaining how the eclipse can be watched safely. Pictured: A solar eclipse in the Faroe Islands . It goes on to state 'there are various ways to observe it (the eclipse) safely, using both everyday materials and telescopes or binoculars'. These can also include eclipse viewers, colanders, pinhole viewers, and mirrors. It is believed the schools were left to provide the equipment themselves. A second school in the area, Fairwater Primary School, said it would not be making any changes to the school day to accommodate the eclipse. Meanwhile, Bryn Hafod Primary School, also in the area, said it needed to do a 'health and safety assessment' before it would make a decision on whether to allow children to watch the eclipse. During the landmark event, the Moon will pass between the Sun and the Earth, casting a deep shadow over the planet's surface in a partial eclipse.

Dozens of Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) workers and volunteers over the weekend retrieved and incinerated carcasses of snow geese found near bodies of water and a wildlife management area in the eastern part of the state, said agency spokesman Gregg Losinski. Illness? Avian cholera is suspected in the deaths of at least 2,000 snow geese that fell dead from the sky in Idaho, like the one seen here . Avian cholera is believed to be the culprit in the deaths mostly because of the way the birds died, he said. 'Basically, they just fell out of the sky,' Losinski said. He said biologists were awaiting results from a state wildlife lab to confirm the birds died of the highly contagious disease, which is caused by bacteria that can survive in soil and water for up to four months. Humans face a small risk of contracting the disease but the more immediate threat is to wildlife in the vicinity of contaminated carcasses, Losinski said. About 20 bald eagles were seen near areas where snow geese carcasses littered the ground but a lengthy incubation period makes it unclear if the eagles were infected and would carry the ailment elsewhere, said Losinski. It was not known where the snow geese \u2013 named for their white plumage and for breeding in the far northern corners of Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Siberia \u2013 contracted avian cholera during a migration that saw them wing north from wintering grounds in the American Southwest and Mexico, he said. Outbreaks like the one found affecting the migrating snow geese in Idaho occur periodically in the United States and elsewhere, Losinski said. Loskinki said in a Monday news release 'The carcasses of a small number of snow geese were first reported at Camas National Wildlife Refuge near Dubois, Idaho. Closer inspection on Friday found higher numbers of dead birds at the Mud Lake WMA Area near Terreton, Idaho and a lesser amount at Market Lake WMA near Roberts, Idaho.' Upper Snake Regional Supervisor Steve Schmidt said in the release that avian cholera has appeared before. 'Outbreaks of avian cholera have occurred sporadically in the region over the past few decades,' he said. Schmidt also said that 'The important thing is to quickly collect as many of the carcasses as possible, to prevent other birds from feeding on the infected birds.' The IDFG said anyone who sees dead birds should not touch them, and contact the Upper Snake Regional Office by dialing 208-525-7290. Avian cholera is the most important infectious disease affecting wild waterfowl in North America, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. 'Death may be so rapid that birds literally fall out of the sky or die while eating with no previous signs of disease,' the agency said of the disease on its website. 'Sick birds appear lethargic, and when captured may die within", "summary": "Avian cholera is suspected in the deaths of at least 2,000 snow geese that fell dead from the sky in Idaho, wildlife managers said Monday .

This incorrect merging of long-term memories in bumblebees is similar to some types of misremembering information that have previously only been observed in humans.

Before I took up the role, some people said 'If someone's out of line, then you have to give it to them'.

Shane Williams: To be captain, you have to be well liked by the players. Warburton came in at the latter stage of my career and was much younger than me, so it was a little strange to have him as captain. But he impressed me straight away and, like Ryan, he trained hard and played hard. Simon: Wales are still in the running for the championship despite losing to England in round one. Are there shades of 2013? Warburton: It's going that way. Our experience in 2013 has given us the belief that we can do it. It was tough then because all the Wales teams previously had won a Grand Slam. Ryan sat us down and gave us the belief that we needed. We've had our one lifeline but we've got the motivation that it's still possible. Williams: Fate is always in your hands with the Six Nations, that's what makes it special. It's an open championship. Ireland are favourites to win in Cardiff but you can't write anyone off \u2014 one result can change everything. Simon: Jonathan Sexton ran the show against England. How much of a threat is he?

The court clerk said: 'This case was adjourned, I believe, on the 6th March and if you look at the charge sheet, the charges concern allegations from January 6 of affray and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place. 'On the last occasion the defendant wasn't in court and an adjournment period was agreed because the defendant was in hospital for treatment for underlying mental health issues.' Emek Yagmur, defending Deacon, passed a letter from the hospital the actor is receiving treatment at to the court . She said: 'He is now back in their care and he has not been released because he is not well enough to attend. He has been sectioned under section two [of the mental health act]. 'We are asking for a six-week adjournment. He is clearly not very well.' The hearing, which lasted a matter of minutes, was adjourned to April 30.

The panel said it wanted to see medical reports when the troubled actor, 32, next appears.

Shelia Jones, who is in charge of more than 200 pupils at St Joseph's Roman Catholic primary school in Devizes, Wiltshire, allegedly humiliated the children on more than one occasion, it is claimed. Angry parents have written to the school's governors and complained to the education watchdog Ofsted after the revelations came to light. Tammy Brimble claims her 11-year-old son Cyrus was among three other boys threatened by Mrs Jones with a 'phone call to God' and is calling for her to resign. She said: 'I didn't find out about it will we got home. Cyrus was very quiet and I could tell something was bothering him. 'When he told me what had happened to him and three other boys, I was upset but I wanted to find out why she did it. 'I don't think what she did was appropriate at all. We are not Roman Catholics but it was still distressing for my child for her to call on God like that.' Mrs Brimble made several attempts to speak to the headteacher and eventually wrote a letter of complaint to the school governors and Ofsted. She said in a letter to Simon Napper, deputy chairman of the governors: 'Cyrus has been subjected to the humiliation of being punished by Sheila on more than one occasion by having to lie face down on the floor. 'We have witnesses for this too, and the evidence of the harm this has caused him.' Another parent, Alexandra Jones, who used to work as a lunchtime supervisor, has also complained to Ofsted.

She said: 'All the children were whispering about something and then it came out that Sheila had made some of them lie face down in the prayer room while she pretended to ring God on her mobile phone.' Ofsted has asked Wiltshire Council's safeguarding panel to investigate the parents' complaints. In a letter to another parent who cited 'problems' at the school, Ofsted replied: 'The information provided raised concerns about the safety of children. 'Ofsted has shared your concerns with the local authority so they can progress these safeguarding concerns as they consider appropriate.' The school, which was rated as 'needing improvements' at its last Ofsted review in February 2013, is due to receive inspectors for a fresh assessment within a few days. The education watchdog said it was not willing to comment further. Colette Culligan, chairman of the governors, said: 'We are aware of an allegation against one of the teaching staff.

Guttman's astonishing claim comes on the back of Real Madrid's dramatic slump in form and \u00a385.3million world record signing Bale being booed by his own fans at the Bernabeu. The European champions suffered their fifth defeat of 2015 when they lost 4-3 at home to German side Schalke on Tuesday night, and although that was enough for Real to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League 5-4 on aggregate, it did not spare the players from the wrath of angry Madridistas. Gareth Bale endured a frustrating evening on Tuesday night but Real still qualified for the quarter-finals . Fans waved white handerkerchiefs - the traditional symbol of disgust at a bad performance - with Bale once again made the scapegoat for Real's problems. Bale was branded selfish and castigated in the Madrid media after choosing to shoot rather than pass to Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema against Espanyol in January and the Welshman has since suffered a dip in form with no goals or assists in his last eight games. And now Guttman has added fuel to the fire by insisting Bale is saving his best for Wales' visit to Israel on March 28, when the top two sides in Group B meet in Haifa. Bale celebrates scoring a late winner for Wales against Andorra back in September last year . Israel coach Eli Guttman (right) believes Bale (left) cares more for playing for his country than Real Madrid . 'I feel that Bale is saving himself for the national team,' Guttman told sports.walla.co.il. 'The level of the miles he does and the level of his commitment to the national team is nothing like how he plays for Real Madrid. 'When they had a player injured [George Williams, who revealed he is out for six months after requiring knee ligament surgery] Bale was the first to [tweet] 'get well soon'. 'They are like us, they are one group, but Bale is the one that gives them balance.' The Welshman, playing against Schalke on Tuesday, has struggled for form in recent weeks for Los Blancos . Cristiano Roanldo scored twice as the Champions League holders advanced 5-4 on aggregate on Tuesday . Israel and Wales are the early surprise front-runners in Group B, with Guttman's leaders having won their opening three games against Cyprus, Andorra and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Second-placed Wales are a point behind Israel and unbeaten after four games, and confidence is high in Chris Coleman's squad after the goalless draw against group favourites Belgium in Brussels in November. Guttman admits that stopping Bale is key to Israel staying top of the section, but he takes heart from keeping the Welshman's Real team-mate Ronaldo off the scoresheet in a 3-3 draw in Tel Aviv two years ago.

The assaults occurred decades ago, according to the victims who are now grown women. Judge Bert Bam granted bail of about $840 (\u00a3562), which Hewitt's wife, Delaille, paid. The judge did not say why the bail amount was so low. A sentencing hearing was scheduled in a Pretoria court for April 17. Until then he must mostly remain in South Africa's Eastern Cape province, where he lives, the judge ruled. Hewitt can also visit his daughter, who lives in Johannesburg. Police will confiscate Hewitt's passport from his home on Wednesday. Former Grand Slam tennis champion Bob Hewitt has been convicted of rape and sexual assault . South African Hewitt, pictured in action at Wimbledon in July 1968, must now wait for his sentencing hearing . The charges stemmed from events in the 1980s and 1990s, prosecutors said. Hewitt, who is 75 years old, had denied the charges. The judge rejected an application by Hewitt's attorney, Terry Price, to postpone sentencing so the defence can prepare a psychologist's report that it plans to use in its argument for leniency at the sentencing hearing. Prosecutor Carina Coetzee said that she does not believe there should be any reduction of sentence because so much time has passed. One accuser, 45-year-old Suellen Sheehan, laid an accusation of rape against Hewitt in 2011 and was in court for the verdict. She said her former coach raped her in his car before tennis practice when she was 12 years old. Alleged victims of sexual abuse are typically not identified, but Sheehan and another accuser, Theresa Tolken, have agreed to be named. 'He knows what he did and he's had to live with that,' Sheehan said. The charges against Hewitt stem from events that occured in the 1980s and 1990s . Tolken, said Hewitt raped her in a hotel room in South Africa when she was 13. A third woman, who has asked not to be identified, said Hewitt sexually assaulted her numerous times during tennis practice in Johannesburg in the early 1990s when she was 16. Australian-born Hewitt sat with arms crossed and appeared impassive as the judge explained the reasoning behind his verdict. His wife sat nearby. A South African advocacy group said it does not want Hewitt's advanced age to result in a light sentence.

Hewitt (left) leaves the court in Johannesburg alongside his wife Delaille . The judge said he is satisfied that all three women told the truth.

It was developed by recording 3D X-ray videos of short-ribbed salamanders - Europe's largest salamander - allowing researchers to track 64 points on the animal skeleton . Scientists behind the robot, which has 27 movable joints, believe it could be used to help palaeontolgists understand how extinct animals like the dinosaurs moved. A video released by Google's Boston Dynamics sparked complaints after an engineer kicked one of its dog-like robots to show off its ability to remain upright. Viewers said the robot had been mistreated and claimed the employees were being cruel. It sparked a debate about whether it was possible to be cruel to a robot. Ethicists and robotics experts waded into the argument to explain the only way it could be unethical would be if the robot could feel pain. Others pointed out it is impossible for robots to have feelings. They say as it is able to cope with a range of different terrain and squeeze through relatively small spaces, the robot could also be used to help search for people trapped in disaster zones. And they added that the robots highly flexible spine also allows it to swim in water, but only if it is given a waterproof skin. Professor Auke Jan Ijspeert, a researcher at the biorobotics laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EFPL), has been leading the development of the robot. According to the group's website: 'Because of its low centre of mass and segmented legs it can navigate over rough terrain without losing balance. 'With a waterproof skin it can also swim. 'Those features may one day enable Pleurobot to help in search and rescue operations. 'On the other hand, salamanders are a good living analog for the first tetrapods that made the transition from water to land. 'In the future, we plan to use Pleurobot's design methodology to bring early tetrapods to \"life\".' Its engineers say that because it is able to cope with a range of different terrain and squeeze through relatively small spaces, the robot (pictured) could be used to help search for people trapped in disaster zones . Salamanders are remarkable creatures capable of regenerating limbs and researchers at University College London (UCL) recently identified the biological pathway involved. Called ERK (Extracellular signal-regulated kinases), the pathway must be constantly active for salamander cells to regenerate - a process not seen in the same way in other mammals.

All this talk of dropping him is rubbish \u2013 you can\u2019t drop Gareth Bale, he scores and creates too many goals. Real have been going through a slump in the past five weeks or so. They have been missing key players. But it seems Gareth has been taking a lot of the stick from fans, and I don\u2019t agree with that, although he has probably been trying too hard at times. Now that Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are back I think you\u2019ll see Gareth really re-emerge and rediscover his best form, because I admit he wasn\u2019t great against Barcelona on Sunday. He wasn\u2019t the only top player to disappoint, but he disappeared from the game for long periods and sometimes he needs to be more forceful.

Cracks seem to be appearing in Bale's relationship with Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo . On the issue of him being unhappy, only he knows how happy he really is at Madrid. Part of the problem is the language and being comfortable with your team-mates. Then there is the situation with Cristiano Ronaldo. I wouldn\u2019t say the relationship between himself and Ronaldo is bad, but Cristiano was so petulant when Gareth scored his goals against Levante last week - he could not hide the disappointment from his face. He\u2019s like a spoilt brat at times. But the fans are so forgiving with Ronaldo because of the goals he scores, it\u2019s very unfair.

But last night it emerged that Mr Freeman spent years supporting a far-left Socialist Labour Party that was set up by the militant miners\u2019 union boss Arthur Scargill in protest at New Labour. In an interview with the Guardian ahead of the 2005 election, Freeman declared that he voted for the party in 2001 and would not back Tony Blair.

It is Keith Houchen\u2019s diving header crashing into the Wembley net in 1987, it is Jimmy Hill leading the \u2018Sky Blue Revolution\u2019, it is of a team that was a staple of the top division for 34 years. He has vowed to take them back there, to their \u2018rightful place\u2019. The reality is very different. Today, Hill\u2019s bronze statue stands outside a superstore for the rugby club Wasps, whose amber and black logo looms over the main entrance. They own the place; Coventry City are strangers in their own home, seeking to get out in the next few years. The Ricoh Arena is magnificent, ready for the top flight. But few thought that would mean Premiership rugby union rather than Premier League football. Confidence has drained, crowds are down. When the club returned from their exile in Northampton 35 miles away back in September, over 27,000 packed into the ground. On Saturday, a mere 9,446 turned out. The potential for massive crowds is obvious but poor form has seen many return their scarves to the back of the wardrobe. The Coventry wide man wheels away in celebration after giving his side the perfect start . It\u2019s because Coventry are staring at the indignity of fourth-tier football for the first time since 1959 and, after this chastening reintroduction to management after 16 months away, Mowbray is in no doubt as to how precarious their situation is. \u2018If we\u2019d sat here and we\u2019d won, I\u2019d be telling you how great it was but as a football manager it really hurts,\u2019 he reflected. \u2018The highs are really good, the lows low but there\u2019s not much in between. \u2018It would have been nice to give the fans a victory. I don\u2019t think the players let them down but we are where we are.\u2019 To be exact, still a sole point above the relegation zone after an afternoon that had started so positively for his team.

The campaigner and chef held talks this week with Business Secretary Vince Cable to outline his \u2018massive concerns\u2019 that the deal could seriously undermine British food and farming. Concerns: Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has held talks with Business Secretary Vince Cable about his worries that rules to protect food in the UK and Europe could be lost with a new free trade pact . Campaigner: TV chef Jamie Oliver has long been an advocate of quality food and ingredients and has expressed 'massive concerns' over the potential of a new trade pact with America . The EU and the US government are negotiating a new free trade pact \u2013 known as TTIP \u2013 which will lift barriers to trade in key sectors of the economy across the Atlantic. The deal will make it easier for companies on both sides of the Atlantic to access each other\u2019s markets, affecting pharmaceuticals, cars, energy, finance, chemicals, clothing, food and drink. However critics like the chef fear it will expose British families to inferior food and drink which does not meet the higher health and welfare standards that exist in this country and Europe. For example, US farmers are allowed to pump up beef cattle, which are raised on vast factory farm feed lots rather than in fields, with growth hormones. Similarly, they are allowed to boost milk production with hormone injections. Currently, these are banned in Europe on the basis of health concerns for consumers. Britain has effectively banned the use of certain artificial colours from food for children because of an association with hyperactivity, however these are not banned in the US. American farmers can also use pesticides that have been banned in this country as a health risk. Balance: Business Secretary Vince Cable, pictured, told Jamie Oliver his fears were unfounded .

Cecil Clayton, from Purdy, will be executed at the state prison in Bonne Terre at 6pm on March 17 for the November 1996 shooting of Barry County Sheriff's Deputy Christopher Castetter. But his attorneys are making a last-ditch attempt to save him by calling for a competency trial - saying a traumatic brain injury makes it impossible for him to understand his death sentence. In 1972, 24 years before he killed the officer, Clayton was using a sawmill when a board splintered and a shard went into his head above his right eye, the St Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Facing death: Cecil Clayton is scheduled to die in Missouri next week but his lawyers are calling for a competency hearing. Twenty years before he murdered a cop, he had part of his brain removed, they say . Doctors were forced to remove 20 per cent of his frontal lobe, the area of the brain that controls decision making and emotions, the newspaper reported as it called for Clayton to be spared. Following the accident and before the arrest, Clayton frequently went to mental health facilities, spending up to 15 months at a time under psychiatric care. Then the evening before Thanksgiving in 1996, Deputy Castetter responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle parked outside Clayton's girlfriend's mother's home. Earlier that night, Clayton and his girlfriend had been arguing, and prosecutors said he then took a loaded gun to her mother's house. Clayton walked up to the deputy's patrol car window and shot him in the head at point-blank range. Castetter, a 29-year-old married father-of-three, died in the hospital later that day. He was convicted of the murder in October 1997 and sentenced to death later that year. His attorneys argued that he was mentally incompetent to stand trial but despite their appeals, state and federal appeals courts have upheld the conviction and the death penalty. His lawyers are now seeking a competency hearing to determine whether he understands his death penalty. Mental health professionals who have examined him agree that he is mentally impaired and has mental health issues, including dementia.

Belfast-based Ashers Bakery refused to make a cake featuring an image of Sesame Street puppets Bert and Ernie below the motto 'Support Gay Marriage'. Karen McArthur, one of the owners, gave evidence on the second day of the high-profile legal action being heard in Belfast's County Court. Mrs McArthur told the court: 'I knew in my heart that I could not put that message on the cake.' Northern Ireland's Equality Commission took the case against family-run Ashers Bakery on behalf a gay rights activist customer whose order was declined. Gareth Lee, a volunteer member of the LGBT advocacy group Queer Space, claimed he was left feeling like a 'lesser person' when his order was turned down. It had been ordered for a private function marking International Day Against Homophobia last May. Mr Lee told the court yesterday that he was left 'shocked' and in 'disbelief' when Mrs McArthur rang him and told him she would not be processing the order he had already paid for. Today Mrs McArthur told the court: 'The problem was with the message on the cake because, as a Christian, I do not support gay marriage.'

History is suffused with irony. It will be noted by posterity that on a day when jubilation should have been coursing through the veins of every lover of Tynecastle, they were in fact muting the trumpets and draping the halls with black rather than maroon. They came to honour a man who hadn\u2019t lived long enough to savour the triumphant emergence of his beloved club from near destitution. Crowds clap whilst the Hearse carrying the coffin of Dave Mackay leaves Tyncastle Stadium for his funeral . But the claiming of their new divisional title will now be a permanent reminder of the resilience that Dave Mackay bequeathed his club when he strode the turf with a broad-chested imperiousness that was the formidable bridgehead for Hearts\u2019 triumphs in the 1950s. As they laid him to rest on Tuesday you couldn\u2019t help but think that nature had played a cruel trick in ending his life only several weeks before the confirmation of the end of the struggle for credibility and self-esteem that his first club had been engaged in for so long. Mackay must, though, have had an inkling of the course of events which was leading inevitably to that apotheosis. The crowds who thronged the streets as the cortege made its way from Tynecastle itself for a remembrance service at Mansfield Traquair, and who threw their scarves at the procession as if to add sustenance to his last journey, must have believed that even in the later stages of his life he will have been mentally kicking every ball for his former club such was his lasting affection for the Gorgie Road. The hearse carrying Mackay's coffin was complete with flowers and a football to mark his passing . I was a student when I first saw the triumphant Hearts side of 1957-8 which he captained, when they not only won the title but created a British goal-scoring record of 132 scored and only 29 against.

And I cannot eliminate the image of his sliding into a tackle that took both Mackay and the Clyde man off the pitch and almost into the dog-track fence which surrounded the playing area.

But ask any resident of the city about the film and you'll be met with a blank stare. Our wonderful guide, Rajendra, was aware of it only because a client had pointed out 'the apparently very famous Judi Dench' in the Rambagh Palace Hotel. Bollywood not Hollywood still rules the screens here. While it might be too late to see Richard Gere in the crowded alleyways of the bazaars, you will spot plenty of other desirable items. Jaipur is a shopper's paradise and Indians flock here for silks and the region's hand-made, block-printed cottons. The magnificent Amber Fort, to which you can ride on an elephant, offers panoramic views over Maota Lake and the ornamental gardens that seem to float within . This is also considered the place to come for jewels. The stones are not mined here, but cut, polished and set better than anywhere else. Visit the iconic jeweller of Jaipur, the Gem Palace, one-time court jewellers to the Mughal emperors and run by the Kasliwal family since 1852.

The report, issued by the Institute of Medicine, examined the public health impact of increasing the age across the US to 19, 21 or 25. And it concluded that if it were to be raised to 21 now, it would result in about 249,000 fewer premature deaths for people born between 2000 and 2019. Raising legal tobacco age could lower the number of premature deaths in America by almost 250,000 . It could mean 45,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer and 4.2million fewer years of life lost for the same generation, the report suggests. While the report does not make any recommendations, officials say, it provides the scientific guidance states and localities need to evaluate policies aimed at reducing and eliminating tobacco use by young people. It also intensifies renewed government efforts to reduce the death and disease caused by tobacco on the heels of the 50th anniversary of the landmark 1964 surgeon general's report that launched the anti-smoking movement.

Increasing the federal age would take an act of Congress, which mandated the report in a 2009 law that gave the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate tobacco. Survey results released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in June showed fewer than 16 percent of the teens smoked a cigarette in the previous month \u2014 the lowest level since the government started doing the survey in 1991, when the rate was more than 27 percent. Another CDC study had already put the teen smoking rate below 16 percent, but experts tend to treat this survey's result as the official number.

If the minimum age were to be raised to 19 today, the report says, there would be about a three percent decrease in smoking prevalence in 2100.

The motive put forward by prosecutors that Knox killed Miss Kercher after she complained about the American leaving the bathroom dirty seemed like 'nonsense', she said.

+{"article": "The costly legal standoff over Julian Assange took a dramatic turn yesterday when Swedish prosecutors said they were prepared to question the WikiLeaks founder in Britain. For almost three years Assange, pictured, has been claiming asylum in London\u2019s Ecuadorian embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden over rape allegations. The 43-year-old faces arrest if he steps outside, and taxpayers have spent more than \u00a310million on police who monitor him 24 hours a day. Swedish Prosecutors have offered to travel to London to question Wikileaks founder Julian Assange . Swedish officials until now refused to question him in London over the allegations of rape, sexual assault and illegal coercion. But yesterday lead prosecutor Marianne Ny announced that they will now travel to Britain \u2013 because time is running out. Under Swedish law they only have until August to pursue the claims relating to sexual assault and illegal coercion. Miss Ny said that an interview conducted at the embassy would be of lower \u2018quality\u2019, but added: \u2018Now that time is of the essence, I have viewed it therefore necessary to accept such deficiencies.\u2019 Her team will also seek a DNA swab. Assange, who is currently holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy, is wanted for questioning in Sweden over sexual assault allegations . Today one of the Australian's lawyers welcomed the offer by Swedish prosecutors to travel to the UK and said it was likely their offer would be accepted. 'This is something we've demanded for over four years,' said Per Samuelson. 'Julian Assange wants to be interviewed so he can be exonerated. So of course we welcome this.' However, Assange may stay in the embassy for another five years until the more serious allegation of rape also expires in Swedish law. By then the bill for Scotland Yard\u2019s sentry duty would be around \u00a330million. Assange\u2019s spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson has repeatedly said that the activist \u2013 who denies the accusations \u2013 has no intention of turning himself in. Yesterday, Mr Hrafnsson called the offer by Swedish prosecutors \u2018a victory for Julian\u2019, but insisted the delay had been \u2018absolutely outrageous\u2019. He said: 'I assume this is because it is extremely likely that Julian will win a case in the Supreme Court in Sweden, determining that the arrest warrant be dropped. Assange's lawyers welcome the move by the Swedish prosecutors to travel to London to quiz him . The surveillance operation outside the Ecuadorian Embassy has so far cost the UK taxpayers \u00a310million . 'The court has recently announced it will hear the case, and it is quite obvious it will rule in Julian's favour.' Mr Hrafnsson said the Swedish prosecutor had 'done nothing' to move the case forward for years. Assange has been fighting extradition to Sweden since it issued a warrant for his arrest in August 2010. Two years later he was granted political asylum by Ecuador. He believes that if he goes to Sweden, he will be extradited to the US and questioned over classified state documents that were published by WikiLeaks.

The two-bedroom end of terrace house was reduced to rubble after it collapsed on Tuesday morning . Builders had been stripping the interior of the house as part of the project shortly before the collapse . According to a planning application with the London Borough of Havering, permission had been granted to demolish an existing garage at the end-of-terrace site. Developers were also granted permission to build an extension at the side and to the rear of the site and reconfigure the interior of the existing house to create two, two-bedroom houses. The Health and Safety Executive confirmed it is aware of the situation and are investigating the cause of the collapse. The house was advertised as a 'two bedroom end terrace house with detached house and driveway to the side plot measuring 16ft width from the existing house with great potential to build to the side subject to planning permission.' According to the planning file, Dovetail Architects asked the council for permission for the 'demolition of existing garage and construction of a single, with part two storey rear extension and double storey side extension, reconfigeration of internal arrangement to create 2 x 2 bedroom dwelling both with private amenity and off-street car parking.'

An 80-year-old neighbour who witnessed the heavy German bombing of East London when she was a child said: 'It looks like something from the war - it could've been the Blitz. 'But unlike the war I didn't go climbing over the rubble like I would've done when I was a kid. 'Somehow I managed to sleep right through it too but it must've been a terrible noise.' Residents were evacuated and a 50 metre exclusion zone was put in place when the collapse fractured a gas supply. Romford firefighter Jason Frisby said: 'The house was under refurbishment and had been completely stripped out. 'Fortunately, it was unoccupied at the time it collapsed and no-one was injured. Had it collapsed when the builders working on the house were inside, they may not have been quite so lucky.' Structural engineers are now working to determine what caused the house to collapse.

Steve Fuller has lived in New York, San Francisco and London, but the place he decided to settle down is about the opposite of any booming metropolis. For the past 42 years, Fuller has worked as the caretaker of Yellowstone National Park, protecting the park's buildings during the long and brutal winter months. He lives in a small cabin alone during the winter, with enough food stored up since his closest neighbors are a two-hour snowmobile ride away. It sounds like the premise of Stephen King's thriller The Shining, but Fuller claims he's never felt lonely or the least bit antsy cooped up alone in his cabin. 'Never had cabin fever. Never been bored,' the 70-something outdoorsman told CBS. That's because there's plenty of work to keep Fuller busy. Winter preparation starts in November, when he works with a crew to board up his share of the parks about 100 buildings. Then, once everyone is gone, he waits for the snow to come - and it never disappoints. Yellowstone averages about 150 inches of snowfall a year and Fuller has to stop it from accumulating on the roofs of the park's buildings, which can collapse under the weight of the snow. Over the years, Fuller has developed a system which takes some of the hassle out of shoveling the roofs. Instead, he uses a saw to cut the snow into blocks which he then pushes off the roof with the help of gravity. Fuller has been doing the job since 1973, when he was the only applicant and the pay was just $13.24 a day.

Jordan Lafayette Prince was convicted on Thursday of brutally sexually assaulting and murdering little Ashlynn Lillith Peters at his mobile home in St Charles, Missouri. He is now facing life in prison. At a hearing earlier this year, Prince's girlfriend and Ashlynn's mother, Jessica Lynn Howell, 27, was jailed for 25 years after admitting felony murder and child abuse in relation to the infant's death. Howell had encouraged her boyfriend to sexually assault Ashlynn in the sickening attack, authorities said. The helpless baby was then beaten and strangled by Prince, apparently to silence her crying.

On Thursday, Prince showed no emotion as he was convicted of first-degree murder, child abuse and forcible sodomy in the killing of Ashlynn in December 2012, according to the St Louis Post-Dispatch. His attorney had argued that prosecutors had failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Prince had hurt Ashlynn, claiming no DNA belonging to the suspect had been found to support their claims. Ashlynn was rushed to hospital on the morning of her death after being discovered lifeless and alone inside Prince's home in Deerfield Village.

During Thursday's hearing, assistant prosecutor Phil Groenweghe said Ashlynn's future hopes, dreams and achievements had been 'snuffed out' for 'one morning of sexual fun by this defendant'. Earlier in court, forensics expert Dan Fahnestock had testified that bloodstains found on the infant's blanket on the day of her assault and death were consistent with both the victim's and Prince's DNA. But he admitted he did not know how or when the blanket had been stained. Meanwhile, medical examiner Dr Mary Case told the court Ashlynn's neck bruises were consistent with strangulation. She also detailed the horrific injuries that Ashlynn had suffered during the sexual assault. They included severe blood loss that totaled around one-third of the infant's blood volume, STL reported.

Jackson (pictured here holding his first ever cell phone) and his friends Ronnie and Wiley Bridgeman were exonerated in November for the 1975 murder of Cleveland businessman Harry Franks . Jackson, who is the longest-serving wrongfully convicted prisoner, was awarded $1million on Thursday as a down payment, according to Cleveland.com. The figure is computed from the state's base rate for wrongful conviction compensation, which stands at $40,330 per year in jail. The number is then adjusted for inflation. In addition to the tax-free $2million award, Jackson will also receive an undetermined sum of money to account for the wages he lost while in prison, according to his attorney Michele Berry.

Chancellor George Osborne is under pressure to announce support for training in the haulage industry in the Budget this week, amid warnings of shortage of 45,000 drivers. The crisis in in the industry could mean food shortages at peak times, including this Easter and the summer months. Shoppers could be faced with empty shelves without urgent action to recruit an army of lorry drivers, it was warned today . New training rules mean the logistics industry is thousands of drivers short, according to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills. The Freight Transport Association claims more than 20,000 drivers have quit since September. It comes after a new Driver Certificate of Professional Competence was introduced across the EU, which meant drivers had to complete an extra 35 hours training, costing some \u00a3500. Hauliers say the rules mean there are not enough people to drive lorries across the country, raising the prospect of 'empty shelves'. Mr Osborne is being urged to find \u00a3150million to increase training for thousands of drivers before the shortages hit vital supplies. A shortage of 45,000 drivers has been caused in part by new rules forcing hauliers to be tested on their driving skills . Richard Burnett, the chief executive of the Road Haulage Association, told the Telegraph: 'We need George Osborne to dig deep and find a way through this. 'The problem isn't going to go away. If it's not tackled in this Budget, then whoever comes in to government are going to have to wake up and recognise that this is a significant issue and it's growing. We've no young people coming through into the industry.' He added: 'There's going to be an impact in terms of getting goods to consumers on time.

+{"article": "Mark Miller has been jailed for almost nine years after he hid in his ex-wife's home to spy on her and tried to set fire to her father and his own son . A man hid in the loft of his ex-wife's home to spy on her before he tried to set his former father-in-law and three-year-old son on fire. Mark Miller, 39, sneaked into the former marital home in Guisborough in east Cleveland and spied on his ex-wife after he refused to accept their 20-year relationship was over. The 39-year-old blamed his wife's father for interfering in their breakup, and when he arrived in a car, also carrying Miller's three-year-old son, Miller attempted to set fire to them - spraying lighter fluid on his former father-in-law. At a hearing at Teeside Crown Court Miller was jailed for eight years and nine months by Recorder James Brown, who told him: 'It is only by great good fortune that a catastrophe was avoided.' Miller was caught hiding in the rafters of his wife's home, spying on her and their children, after using a key she did not know he had to let himself in. The court heard that around 10 years before the attack, when the pair were still together, Miller had become convinced his wife was having an affair and set fire to her bed, holding her in the room saying he wanted them both to perish in the blaze. He was jailed for two-and-a-half years for reckless arson, but when he came out she forgave him and continued their relationship. However Shaun Dryden, prosecuting, said Miller then drinking heavily, hiding alcohol around the house, gambling and demanded frequent sex or he would visit prostitutes. In 2013 the pair split up and Miller began texting his estranged wife pictures pretending to hang himself, taking pills and of gravestones, threatening: 'I can get to your house quicker than the police can.' He had previously been given a suspended sentence imposed for breaching a non-molestation order and a separate restraining order. This had banned him from contacting his ex-wife or coming within 200 metres of her home. But he breached this when he went to the house again last June as his ex-wife's father pulled up in his car. Mr Dryden said: 'He approached the window and said 'This is the last f****** time you will interfere' and began flicking the liquid through the driver's window. Teeside Crown Court heard that Miller sprayed lighter fluid onto his former father-in-law through a car window . '[The man's] shirt and trousers were drenched. He began trying to activate the windows to close them while the defendant fumbled with a lighter trying to light it.' He was convinced Miller would set him on fire and the court heard he had 'never been so frightened.'

+{"article": "The Supreme Court has given a former UPS driver another chance to prove her claim of discrimination after the company did not offer her lighter duties while she was pregnant. On a 6-3 vote, the justices on Wednesday revived Peggy Young's discrimination claim against UPS and sent the case back to a lower court. The case concerned employers' responsibilities under the 37-year-old Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Atlanta-based UPS maintained that it obeyed the law because it provided light-work duty only in limited situations and did not single out pregnant women. Peggy Young (pictured in December last year), a Virginia woman who lost her UPS job because she became pregnant, speaks to reporters outside the Supreme Court in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court is giving the former UPS driver another chance to prove her claim of discrimination after the company did not offer her lighter duty when she was pregnant . But the company changed its policy as of January and said it now tries to accommodate pregnant workers. The justices gave Young another chance to litigate whether UPS should have granted her request for temporary changes in work duties - she asked not to lift heavier packages - after she became pregnant in 2006. Writing on behalf of the majority, liberal Justice Stephen Breyer said the lower court is required to determine if the employer had 'legitimate, nondiscriminatory, nonpretextual justification' for treating employees differently. Breyer said the lower court failed to consider the effects of UPS policies that covered non-pregnant workers who might have disabilities, injuries or otherwise might need accommodations, and asked, 'Why, when the employer accommodated so many, could it not accommodate pregnant women as well?' Breyer said there is a 'genuine dispute as to whether UPS provided more favorable treatment to at least some employees whose situation cannot reasonably be distinguished from Young's'. The outcome reflects a 'middle ground' that Justice Elena Kagan suggested during arguments in early December. Courts must now re-examine Young's case with a more accepting view of the discrimination claim. A federal district court judge and an appeals court had ruled in favor of UPS, which was backed by business groups in the case. The two sides in the case disagreed over whether UPS agreed to accommodate non-pregnant workers requesting light-duty assignments. UPS and other employers facing similar suits still are able to argue their policies were legal because they were based on seniority or some other acceptable reason. The case concerned whether the package delivery company violated a federal law, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, by denying Young's request. Young, who worked at a Maryland facility, had acted on a midwife's advice that she not be required to lift packages weighing more than 20 pounds (9 kg). Young, now 43, said she dealt almost exclusively with overnight letters, but UPS said its drivers must be able to lift packages weighing up to 70 pounds. Young left the company in 2009. The Virginia woman lost two rounds in lower courts. UPS has since changed its policy, and now says it will try to accommodate pregnant workers.

+{"article": "Jeremy Clarkson, pictured, has been compared to Jimmy Savile by a senior BBC manager in advance of a probe into the latest Top Gear incident . The BBC launched an astonishing attack on Jeremy Clarkson yesterday, comparing him to sex offender Jimmy Savile and urging him to check into rehab. Blaming the now notorious \u2018fracas\u2019 with a Top Gear producer on \u2018personal issues\u2019, one of the most senior Corporation executives said Clarkson was \u2018self-destructing\u2019 and needed help. Most controversially, the TV chief, who has been directly involved in the fallout from the incident, likened Clarkson\u2019s supporters \u2013 including the Prime Minister \u2013 to those who turned a blind eye to Savile\u2019s appalling crimes. Last night, friends of the 54-year-old presenter expressed disbelief that the BBC should make such explosive claims before its internal investigation into the controversy has even begun. \u2018I am in total shock that someone at the BBC would attack their own talent and deliberately smear Jeremy,\u2019 said Perry McCarthy, who was Top Gear\u2019s mysterious test driver The Stig. The broadside came as further details of the alleged assault on producer Oisin Tymon emerged. One report claimed Clarkson split Tymon\u2019s lip with a punch, leaving him needing hospital treatment. Other sources told this newspaper that Clarkson had not been drinking \u2013 and that the row was not entirely about the lack of a hot meal at the end of a day\u2019s filming. But the most astonishing development came during a wide-ranging official briefing given to The Mail on Sunday by a senior BBC figure. The executive likened 36-year-old Tymon\u2019s position to that of Savile\u2019s victims, who feared they would not be believed while he was alive. \u2018The pressure this guy [Tymon] is under is so Savilesque in a way,\u2019 he said, adding that Clarkson\u2019s support from high-level politicians recalled the way Savile was once defended. \u2018If you look at what David Cameron says or what [former Culture and Media Secretary] Maria Miller says and you swap Clarkson for Savile, you get this: David Cameron is effectively saying that Savile\u2019s a real talent, Maria Miller saying Savile will be Savile.\u2019 The comparison will inevitably anger Savile\u2019s victims. Conservative MP Conor Burns, who sits on the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, said that \u2018it is not just patently absurd, it\u2019s also deeply offensive to Jeremy Clarkson and those innocent people who were horribly abused by Savile\u2019. The BBC executive also said that attempts to suggest the \u2018fracas\u2019 was part of a wider battle between Clarkson and Danny Cohen, the BBC\u2019s powerful director of television, were misleading. Clarkson is said to have a difficult relationship with Cohen, who told him that he was on a final warning after a string of controversies. \u2018People keep saying that this is a case of Danny Cohen v Jeremy Clarkson. It is not,\u2019 said the executive. \u2018This is Jeremy Clarkson v Jeremy Clarkson\u2026 . \u2018Jeremy is self-destructing. Danny is not the person who is driving this, it is Jeremy.\u2019 Referring to the Top Gear host\u2019s much-publicised split from his wife Frances after 21 years, the BBC", "summary": "A senior BBC TV executive has launched an attack on Jeremy Clarkson .

A struggling university is paying up to \u00a3100,000 to send all 700 of its staff for stays at a luxury hotel. The breaks in the Lake District are being organised by the University of Bolton so its controversial vice-chancellor can give pep talks. Professor George Holmes, who was recently lent almost \u00a31million by the university so he could move house, owns a private yacht which is moored less than ten miles from the hotel. The four-star Lakeside Hotel and Spa on Windermere is 70 miles from campus and usually costs about \u00a3220 a night for a room with a view of the lake. The university says the one-night \u2018working residential\u2019 trips, for which it pays all the travel, food and accommodation costs, are an \u2018informative\u2019 and \u2018valuable\u2019 way to discuss strategic aims. It has organised 20 breaks as part of its staff development programme. The first was in September and the last will be in May. Professor Holmes, a former adviser to Labour whose yacht is moored at a marina on Windermere, addresses each group \u2018engaging directly in dialogue in respect of the strategy\u2019. The university, which in 2013 was ranked worst in the country in two guides, said feedback from employees had so far been positive. But according to Times Higher Education, a source at the university said staff were \u2018amazed\u2019 by the scheme because it \u2018must cost a fortune\u2019. A university spokesman said it \u2018considers this an appropriate developmental investment in staff to underpin the growing strength of the university\u2019. The spokesman said it was part of a multi-million-pound investment in teaching and learning infrastructure, adding: \u2018For the avoidance of doubt, the yacht belongs to the vice-chancellor personally and is operated, maintained and moored at the vice-chancellor\u2019s own expense. \u2018The yacht is not university property and has no relevance to the university\u2019s current staff development programme taking place at the Lakeside Hotel.\u2019 The four-star Lakeside Hotel and Spa (pictured) on Windermere is 70 miles from campus and usually costs about \u00a3220 a night for a room with a view of the lake . Last month, it was revealed that the University of Bolton gave Professor Holmes a two-year \u00a3960,000 loan to buy a house nearer the campus without him having to sell his home in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. The move was to save him a 100-mile round-trip, allowing the 53-year-old, who took up his post in 2006, to \u2018play a greater role\u2019 in the university and the town. Professor Holmes, who in 2013 was paid a \u00a347,200 bonus on top of his \u00a3198,200 salary, bought an imposing Edwardian detached house, described by estate agents as a sublime example of the Arts and Crafts movement. It is understood the \u00a3920,000 property acts as both his personal home and a space to host VIP dinners and events connected with the university.

+{"article": "Opening statements in the trial of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev set for Wednesday . After two months of jury selection, a panel of 12 jurors and six alternates was seated Tuesday for the federal death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The all-white panel included 10 men and eight women, 12 of whom will vote on Tsarnaev's fate at the end of a trial expected to wrap up in June. Six will serve as alternates. Opening statements in the case are scheduled for Wednesday. Tsarnaev, 21, faces 30 charges in connection with twin bombings at the finish line of the marathon April 15, 2013. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured. He is also charged in the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer days after the bombings. If the jury convicts Tsarnaev, the trial will move on to a second phase to determine his punishment. The only two options available for the jury are life in prison or the death penalty. Judge George O'Toole Jr., prosecutors and Tsarnaev's lawyers questioned prospective jurors individually. Many potential jurors were excused when they said they had already formed an opinion on Tsarnaev's guilt or were morally opposed to the death penalty. Many others were dismissed because of personal connections to the bombings, including people who have friends or family who were near the finish line when the bombs went off or who knew first responders who treated victims. During the jury selection process, Tsarnaev's lawyers tried repeatedly to get the trial moved out of Massachusetts, saying he could not find a fair and impartial jury because of the emotional impact the bombings had in the state. O'Toole rejected three change-of-venue motions, saying the process of carefully questioning jurors to detect bias was successful in finding impartial jurors. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals twice refused to order the trial moved. The jury selection process began in early January when more than 1,350 potential jurors filled out questionnaires on their ties to the attack and their views on the death penalty. To be eligible to serve, candidates needed not to have formed a set opinion of Tsarnaev's guilt and to be willing to consider voting for execution if he was found guilty. Tsarnaev's lawyers last week asserted that the court had violated its own procedures about random selection, reordering jurors as they arrived in a way that reduced the number of black candidates questioned. Tsarnaev's attorneys on Monday offered a possible glimpse into their strategy when they argued that they need to be able to discuss the defendant's relationship with his older brother, Tamerlan, early in the trial. They described 26-year-old Tamerlan, who died following a gun battle with police three days after the bombing, as the driving force behind the attack, saying that his younger brother participated out of submissiveness.

+{"article": "A political operative has sued presidential campaign adviser David Axelrod over Axelrod's claim that he came up with the attack strategy that saved an embattled Philadelphia mayor in 2003. Philadelphia campaign consultant Frank Keel said it was his idea to blame Republicans for an FBI listening device found in Democratic Mayor John Street's office. Keel considers the decision to attack then-President George W. Bush's Republican administration 'a defining moment' of his career, according to his lawsuit. 'His brazen and successful handling of the crisis launched Keel to the forefront of his profession,' said the legal filing, filed earlier this week and first reported on by The Philadelphia Inquirer. In his book 'Believer: My Forty Years in Politics,' Axelrod takes credit for the plan to accuse President George W. Bush's Justice Department of trying to sink Street's re-election bid. David Axelrod, Obama's senior campaign strategist in 2012, is under fire on at least two fronts for claims he made in his new political memoir . WHOSE IDEA WAS IT? Philadelphia Mayor John Street (right) swept to a re-election victory in 2003 after his campaign aides hatched a plot to blame Republicans for alistening device the FBI planted in his office . The FBI bugged Street's office as part of a 'pay-to-play' probe that led to the indictments of a city treasurer, a top Street fundraiser and 10 others. The mayor himself was never charged and denied wrongdoing. Street had initially been quiet about the bug found in his City Hall office but went on the attack as the campaign claimed that Republicans did it. Weeks later, he won re-election in a landslide. Axelrod, in a statement, said his book does not rule out the possibility that other advisers 'arrived at the same conclusion or proceeded on parallel tracks.' But the lawsuit claims Axelrod was unreachable on the day Keel came up with the strategy \u2013 and later opposed it. Shawn Fordham, Mayor Street's 2003 campaign manager, submitted a statement with the suit saying that Axelrod eventually 'got on board' and called Keel a 'hero.' Keel also sued Penguin Random House, Axelrod's publisher. It dismissed Keel's claims as 'utterly absurd.' Axelrod served as President Barack Obama's chief campaign strategist in 2008 and 2012. Now the founding director of the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago, Axelrod cut his political teeth at age 27 as a city hall correspondent and columnist at the Chicago Tribune. Three years later he jumped to politics with a communications director job for sitting U.S. Senator Paul Simon. Mitt Romney's personal assistant Garrett Jackson (right) saw and heard everything the GOP candidate said and did during the last presidential race, and he said Axelrod lied about the 2012 Election Night concession call to make the Republican look like a race-obsessed sore loser . In addition to the Street campaign, Axelrod later managed the re-election campaign of Harold Washington, Chicago's first black mayor, He later worked for then-Senator John Edwards' 2004 presidential campaign and latched on to Obama's 2008 effort.

Elms' lawyer, Mark Williams said she is apologetic about her actions and has rejected the idea that she wished to refute the charges. The Crime and Corruption Commission hope to use Elms as an example to other public servants.

Arter's powerful 20-yard strike early in the second half was sandwiched between penalties from Yann Kermorgant and substitute Brett Pitman as Bournemouth leapfrogged Middlesbrough in the Sky Bet Championship table to assert their claim for automatic promotion. Newly called up by the Republic of Ireland, Arter also showed his quality with a stunning goal in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Cardiff. Harry Arter celebrates his brilliant strike that gave Bournemouth their second goal against Middlesbrough . The Cherries were on the front foot for the majority of the tussle against a team that began the day in second place, and Kermorgant could have put Eddie Howe's men in front in the second minute. Middlesbrough goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos made a good save low to his left to deny the French striker. Callum Wilson's pace created problems for the visitors' defence all afternoon and it was Bournemouth's leading scorer who won the first penalty, as he was bundled over by Tomas Kalas. Kermorgant stepped up and coolly drove the 12th-minute spot-kick into the right corner of the net. The first half was played at a frenetic pace and Bournemouth could have been further ahead at the interval. Yann Kermorgant places a penalty during the first half to set Bournemouth on their way to victory . Matt Ritchie had a drilled effort blocked by the back of George Friend in the 26th minute, before Kermorgant's well-struck volley was saved by Konstantopoulos. Ritchie forced the Middlesbrough goalkeeper back into action again in the 31st minute, but his left-footed effort was easily held. Middlesbrough were unable to truly test Artur Boruc in the first 45 minutes. Their best chance came on the half hour when Adam Reach flicked Patrick Bamford's cross into the hands of the Poland goalkeeper. Bournemouth came out after the break with the same attacking intentions as the first, with Tommy Elphick having a close-range header saved almost immediately after the restart. Arter doubled the Cherries' lead in the 48th minute, with his fine curling left-footed effort going in off the inside of the left post. Brett Pitman celebrates after netting a penalty for Bournemouth's third goal in the win over Middlesbrough . Bamford felt he should have had a penalty in the 58th minute after being pulled in the box by Steve Cook, but referee Anthony Taylor disagreed. Middlesbrough thought they had got a goal back in the 68th minute, but Bamford's header was disallowed as he came from an offside position. Bournemouth won their second penalty of the game in the 74th minute as the lively Arter surged forward into the Middlesbrough box before being pushed in the back by Albert Adomah. Pitman fired past Konstantopoulos to make it 3-0 and seal a priceless win. Bamford had the chance to get a consolation goal for Middlesbrough with four minutes to go, but his free-kick went just over the bar.", "summary": "Bournemouth overtook Middlesbrough with a 2-0 win at Dean Court . The three points moved the Cherries top of the Championship . Yann Kermorgant opened scoring from the penalty spot after 12 minutes .

Supermerket chains have introduced schemes that delay the payment of invoices to small businesses meaning many farmers will face a cashflow crisis . Critics say such schemes force small firms to pay through the nose to get money that should have been handed to them promptly in the first place.

A survey of 1000 people across the country by travel search engine KAYAK found that one in four Aussies spend the equivalent of more than half their annual leave researching and planning their trip. Travel agents' interests, the overload of information online, hidden costs and fluctuating prices were found to be making holiday-bookers extra cautious with their plans. About 38 per cent of people admitted they spend more time looking for flights and hotels then researching the activities they hope to do on the trip. One in four Aussies, like Sydney marketing manager Sam Kelly (pictured on his last trip to Bali), spend the equivalent of more than half their annual leave researching and planning their holidays . Sydney marketing manager Sam Kelly, admitted that the number of hours it took him to plan his last trip to Bali amounted to two weeks worth of working hours. 'I spend a lot of time - hours and hours - it's a big process. I don't go on budget holidays, but I've saved thousands of dollars by going through this process,' he told Daily Mail Australia. The 27-year-old said that he spent the time researching potential hotels and destinations by looking at various booking sites and reviews, adding that despite enjoying the process, he found it took up a 'ridiculous amount of time'. 'It's the amount of information out there. One website that will do that legwork for you and get you the best hotel prices, show you reviews and airfares all in the one currency - one true source of truth -would be ideal,' he said. Mr Kelly admitted that it was during office hours that most of his searching and booking occurred, and he's not alone. According to KAYAK 26 per cent of those surveyed from Canberra did the same thing - a figure which almost three times the national average. It also found that 31 per cent of people have resorted to completely abandoning their travel plans and bookings due to their frustration. Investment banker Todd Fortescue came close to doing so himself when he and his girlfriend found themselves constantly bickering after becoming frustrated with travel agents helping them with their trip to Canada earlier this year.

But it was the yellow appearance of the baby\u2019s skin that was causing the greatest worry.

Testifying in Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's trial on Monday, Massachusetts' Chief Medical Examiner Dr Henry Nields, who performed the child's autopsy, revealed Martin had suffered injuries to nearly every part of his body. Dr Nields was the last witness for the prosecution before it rested its case on Monday. Martin's parents, Bill and Denise Richard, were also in court. They had been at the marathon finish line with their three children when Martin was killed and their daughter, Jane, lost a leg. 'Cause of death was blast injuries to torso and extremities,' Dr Nields said, adding that Martin died primarily from loss of blood. Shrapnel - including small nails, plastic, pellets and wood - from one of the homemade pressure cooker bombs set off by Tsarnaev and his older brother had punched through the boy's 69-pound body. He suffered a six-inch-by-six-inch wound to his left abdomen, which exposed his intestines, and caused damage to his liver, left kidney, spleen and two ribs, Dr. Nields said.

Among them, the boy's Patriots football t-shirt and Boston Celtics jersey both showed large tears on their left sides where he had suffered the huge wound to his abdomen.

Massachusetts-based fertility company, OvaScience, says its technique involves rejuvenating an egg's mitochondria, which are the tiny structures that create energy to run a cell . Studies suggest that 23-33 is the ideal time to conceive, as a healthy woman is still fertile and may be more psychologically prepared to have a baby. But fertility does begin to diminish slowly from the age of 25 as a woman's eggs decrease. One report claiming that women are 10 per cent less fertile at 27. This is because they now have fewer eggs to fertilise - a few thousand - which are also older. But according to a report by Tia Ghose in LiveScience, experts advise caution over those claims. 'They're quite private and secretive about what they're doing,' Dr Aimee Eyvazzadeh, a fertility specialist told LiveScience. The technique, dubbed Augment, takes energy-producing mitochondria from a patient's own 'EggPC cells'. These are immature egg cells found in the protective ovarian lining, which are added to the patient's mature eggs to supplement the existing mitochondria. 'A key component of egg health is the number of functioning mitochondria in the egg since mitochondria are the source of energy that helps an egg develop,' OvaScience co-founder, Michelle Dipp, told DailyMail.com .

+{"article": "No police officers will be disciplined despite failing to properly investigate the systematic rape and abuse of young girls in Rochdale, it was revealed today. Seven Greater Manchester Police officers were served with misconduct notices but after a four year investigation six were given 'management advice' and one was allowed to retire. The Rochdale scandal saw hundreds of vulnerable young girls fall into the hands of Asian grooming gangs because the authorities failed to protect them over at least six years. In 2012 nine Asian men were jailed for a total of 77 years for rape and trafficking after they preyed on girls as young as 13, plying them with drugs, alcohol and money before passing them round the group for sex. No further action: Seven police officers who were served with misconduct notices over the abuse scandal in Rochdale (pictured), will not face disciplinary action . A subsequent report said the girls were allowed to fall into the hands of Pakistani grooming gangs because police and social workers may have been scared of seeming racist. It sparked an investigation conducted by the force's professional standards branch, and supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which today highlights a number of significant failures. Its report, published today, concludes that the officers placed too much emphasis on the credibility of the victims, and not enough on the crime. The seven officers investigated were interviewed about their decision-making, handling of investigations, and victim care. They were the former divisional Chief Supt, John O'Hare, a Superintendent, plus two Det Chief Inspectors, two Detective Inspectors, and one Sergeant. One Detective Inspector was found to have a case to answer for misconduct but retired before the inquiry could be completed. Nine men, including these eight, were jailed for a total of 77 years for rape and trafficking after they preyed on girls as young as 13-years-old . By the summer of 2013 force investigators had identified the Det Insp should attend a formal misconduct hearing but they left the force in January 2014. The investigation - titled Operation Span - exposed flaws across all agencies in response to the challenges associated with child sexual exploitation, including a lack of understanding of the complexity of the issue. Other failures were identified as issues, with information being shared across agencies that used different IT systems, GMP's focus being on addressing serious acquisitive crime, and officers not having the necessary skill set. It also said the 'churn' of staff at Rochdale, particularly in the inspecting ranks, meant that leadership of the issue could not be maintained, and there was little in the way of effective handover.

Jimmy Barling said Monday that DNA tests will be done on tissue samples from the three bull calves and the one heifer calf to satisfy those who may question the births from one mother. 'We knew she was pregnant, but we didn't know she was going to do this,' the 76-year-old Barling said. 'This was a shock. This blew our minds.' Awesome foursome: Dora Rumsey-Barling is seen here among newborn calves Eeny, Meeny, Miny and Moo near DelKalb, Texas, on March 16. It is incredibly rare for a momma cow to birth four calves . Rare: The cow, described by Dora Rumsey-Barling as 'just a run of the mill red cow', had been bred to an Angus bull, so all four of the calves are black . This momma cow has apparently defied great odds and given birth to four calves. DNA tests will be done to satisfy those who question the veracity of the calves . Barling's wife, Dora Rumsey-Barling, owns the couple's 20 or so cattle outside of DeKalb, near the Arkansas and Oklahoma borders. Rumsey-Barling's granddaughter named the four black calves Eeny, Meeny, Miny and Moo, Barling said. Local veterinarian Mike Baird called the March 16 births 'extremely rare.' He said the odds of four live births from one cow are 1 in 11.2 million. Baird knows the couple well and is nearly certain the four came from one mother, rather than a nearby cow perhaps birthing one or two and then moving along so that it appeared the four came from the Barling's cow. 'In the interest of science and the animal world, it's one of those things that need to be verified beyond a shadow of a doubt,' he said. Proud: Jimmy Barling shows off two of his new calves, after one of his cows apparently underwent an extremely rare pregnancy and birth . The couple watched the birth of the fourth calf after going to check on her when they saw buzzards circling above a field. Because the mother cow is unable to nurse all four calves, the couple are relying on neighbors to help. Moo has stayed with her mother, while Eeny, Meeny and Miny are with two different caretakers. Meeny is the smallest of the calves, weighing in at about 25 pounds. A typical healthy birth weight for a calf is 75 pounds. Standing has also been difficult for some of the quadruplets.", "summary": "Odds of four live births apparently from one cow are 1 in 11.2 million .

Kaplan acknowledged that most people don't really recall math as fun, blaming that on how it's taught: 'There's fun stuff out there in the quantitative world.' One interesting aspect of pi is that it is irrational, which means the decimals after 3 go on to infinity with no repeating patterns. Yet in 1897, a bill before the Indiana legislature tried to round it up to 3.2. It fell flat. 'We cannot change it. It's not subject to opinion or taste or time,' Frenkel said.

A man who broke a baby's arm and leg through 'reckless cruelty' has been spared jail. Doctors said the infant's broken leg may have been caused by Josh Campbell 'yanking' it out of its cot, while its broken arm appeared to be the result of a 'forceful rapid rotation injury'. But Campbell, who has anger management issues, denied yanking the baby, telling the court he had lifted it out its cot by its arms.

Michael Hodson, prosecuting, said: 'The Crown are opening the case on the basis of rough handling and reckless behaviour. 'The Crown say there was not deliberate pulling in order to hurt the child, but an impatience to get the child to do what the defendant ignorantly thought the child ought to be able to bear. 'It's clear the defendant has a short fuse and can be an angry individual who has a problem with his temper, especially when drunk.

Newcastle Crown Court heard how the baby was taken to hospital because it's right arm was not moving freely and X-rays discovered fractures to the arm and leg. Campbell from South Shields, who admitted child cruelty, was given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, with supervision and 150 hours of unpaid work.

When asked if De Kock was facing a mental barrier, Domingo told a press conference: 'I am not a sports psychologist but I don't know how a player can be perceived to be mentally shot. It's a little bit nasty. 'It's going to be a tough selection (meeting). On the one hand we know Quinton has got the ability to win games.

De Kock is set to continue at the top of the South Africa batting order for the quarter-final against Sri Lanka . South Africa coach Russell Domingo believes De Kock is due a big score . For Domingo, though, the law of averages again is a handy way to look at things, as he added: 'He's in the form of his life. You've got to think his low score is just round the corner I suppose.

Now a principal scientist from Gillette has revealed the science behind shaving including how hairs behave, why washing the skin is so vital and why you should never, ever tap your razor on the sink. She also settles the debate about whether you should go with, or against the grain. Scroll down for video . Beard hairs are, on average, a tenth of a millimetre in diameter. When dry, the hair is around 130 microns in diameter (left) but when hydrated this expands to almost 150 microns. Washing the face before a shave increases the surface area the blades can cut through said Gillette principal scientist Kristina Vanoosthuyze . Dr Kristina Vanoosthuyze has worked in the Gillette Shaving Technology area at the Innovation Centre in Reading for the past nine years. Every morning 80 volunteers visit the centre and shave in front of a filming rig that combines magnifying lenses, high-speed cameras and special high-intensity lighting. This has revealed how the blade cuts through the hair, and in the case of multiple-blade models, the first blade pulls the hair up, the second cuts it, the third blade acts in a similar way to the first, and so on. In some of their products, Gillette also offers a vibrate function that further lifts the hair and reduces the friction caused by the blades. This footage has also revealed the differences between dry and hydrated skin and beard hair. Every day 80 volunteers shave in front of a rig that combines magnifying lenses and high-speed cameras. This has revealed how the blade cuts through the hair. In the case of multiple-blade models, the first blade pulls the hair up, the second cuts it, the third blade pulls and so on . When hydrated, skin is also tighter (an image of the skin is shown before washing left and after washing right). This exposes more of the hair's surface area to the blade. As a result Dr Kristina Vanoosthuyze recommends showering before shaving - and not the other way round . This image is a microscopic image of cut hairs on dehydrated skin. Dry hair can have the strength of copper wire and when hair and skin hydrates it swells and makes the hair easier to cut. Additionally, the lubricating ingredients in a shaving gel reduce friction between blade and skin, improving glide . Beard hairs are, on average, a tenth of a millimetre in diameter. When dry, the hair is around 130 microns but when hydrated this expands to almost 150 microns. This increases the surface area that the blades can cut through, and when hydrated, skin is plumper, which reveals more of the hair.

+{"article": "A new study suggests tall rooms (stock image pictured) encourage people to explore space as well as think freely, as previously discovered . When choosing the perfect house, many people opt for high ceilings and a sense of space, despite premium price tags and the higher cost of heating airy expanses in the winter. Now a new study suggests that tall rooms excite the brain and encourage people to explore space, building on previous research that high ceilings are linked to a sense of freedom. A psychologist thinks that the combination of a room that promotes free thinking and is stimulating to the senses, explains why people choose airy homes. Dr Oshin Vartanian of the University of Toronto-Scarborough, told Fast Co Design: \u2018On the one hand, rooms [with high ceilings] promote visuospatial exploration, while at the same time they prompt us to think more freely. \u2018This could be a rather potent combination for inducing positive feelings.\u2019 An international study, led by Dr Vartanian scanned the brains of volunteers while they looked at images of 200 rooms, half of which had high ceilings. Participants indicated whether each image was beautiful or not while in the fMRI scanner and the experts found that people were more likely to find spaces with high ceilings attractive, than those with low ceilings. Studying levels of brain activity, they also discovered heightened activity triggered by high ceilings in two areas of the brain associated with visual exploration \u2013 the left precuneus and left middle frontal gyrus. Scientists studied volunteers' reactions to rooms with high and low ceilings using an fMRI scanner and found that airy rooms activated areas of the brain associated with visual exploration, while more enclosed spaces (stock image is shown) did not catch people's attention and stimulate their senses . This suggests that high ceilings capture people\u2019s attention and stimulate the senses, encouraging people to explore the space they are in. But because the fMRI results didn\u2019t show any difference in brain regions linked to pleasure or emotion, the study, published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, hints that high ceilings don\u2019t instantly put people in a good mood. Interestingly, enclosed rooms were more likely to \u2018elicit exit decisions\u2019 and activity in brain regions such as the anterior mid cingulate cortex, suggested enclosed spaces might trigger an emotional response.

The \u00a3189 test \u2013 a more advanced form of a high street eye exam \u2013 has already boosted the concentration of champion skier Chemmy Alcott by recommending she wear pink-tinted goggles to reduce glare while hurtling 80mph down the slopes. Experts also say they have improved reaction times of members of the English women's lacrosse team. Now parents claim that children taking the test are improving their reading speeds \u2013 and performing better at school. An eye test that has improved the performance of British skier Chemmy Alcott (pictured) is helping transform children's reading skills . Those behind the test say it identifies people suffering from 'visual stress', which means their eyes are over-sensitive to black and white and words appear to swim on the page. It is thought this happens because cells in the area of the brain responsible for vision get over-excited by the pattern and work too fast, causing text to become distorted. Studies suggest as many as one in four has this problem. However, most are unaware they are affected and the condition is not picked up during a routine visit to an optician. Children with the sensitivity are said to lose concentration easily because they struggle to focus on text, and can fail to perform well at school despite being bright. Experts at Vision in Learning, the company behind the test, say many can be helped by using colour-tinted glasses or a transparent sheet of coloured plastic which can be laid on top of textbooks. Colour is thought to 'calm' the cells so that the image becomes stabilised. But the colour each person needs to correct the problem is different \u2013 and scientists are unable to explain why. Charlie Raynes, 14, was lagging behind his twin sister at school but after taking the test passed his 11-plus . Charlie Raynes, 14, from Colchester, was lagging behind his twin sister Annabel at school and was regularly placed bottom of the class. After taking the test, he passed his 11-plus. His mother Paula said: 'Charlie would say text would move around and he couldn't focus. He lost confidence and was very unhappy at school.

The test takes place in the company's offices in Braintree, Essex, but other opticians offering it can be found via the Society for Coloured Lens prescribers. Chemmy Alcott, 32, who competed as part of Team GB in four Winter Olympics, did the test after suffering from snow-blindness. She said: 'I was skiing with a yellow-tinted lens, but the test found that my eyes had to work less hard with a pink lens.

Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao, 45, sued her former employer Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers for four counts of discrimination after she was fired. In a case that prompted a broad discussion about gender bias in the tech industry, Pao painted the firm as sexist, crude, and quarrelsome. On Friday, a jury of six men and six women rejected every claim after less than 72 hours of deliberation in San Francisco Superior Court. Scroll down for video . Lost: Ellen Pao (pictured after the verdict) sued her former employers for four counts of gender bias after she was fired. The Reddit CEO claimed her career crumbled at Kleiner after ending an affair with a partner . A jury of six men and six women rejected all of Pao's claims in San Francisco Superior Court on Friday . Over the course of three years, Pao told the court her career at the Silicon Valley firm crumbled after she ended a brief affair with partner Ajit Nazre, and was fired in 2012 when she complained. Pao, who is married to Wall Street financier Alphonse Fletcher Jr, said he 'falsely told her that his wife had left him' and 'engaged in offensive, obstructionist, and difficult behavior' until she 'succumbed' two or three times. After she ended the liaison, he started to 'retaliate', she claimed. At one point, she said, Nazre appeared at her colleague's hotel room on a business trip wearing nothing but a bathrobe, carrying a glass of wine, according to testimony. The court heard Ray Lane, a former partner, said the woman, Trae Vassallo, should have been 'flattered'. Kleiner countered that it investigated Nazre after Vassallo complained, after which he quickly left the firm. Pao's first claim, tabled in 2007, also accused senior partner Randy Komisar of giving her a Leonard Cohen book, Book Of Longing, filled with sexually explicit drawings and poems. Later, he asked her to dinner adding that 'his wife would be out of town'. The case played out as Silicon Valley saw a steady decline in the number of female venture capitalists. Recent figures collected by Babson College show six per cent of the venture capital is female, down from 10 per cent in 1999. With that backdrop, Pao's lawyers described Kleiner as a pressure cooker that was hostile toward women. One of Pao's mentors testified that subpar performance meant she was not promoted, rather than gender . The firm disputed those charges, presenting evidence that Kleiner went out of its way to hire women. During the case, the court heard one partner, Chi-Hua Chien, said women 'kill the buzz' as he argued only men should be invited to a dinner with Al Gore. John Doerr, once Pao's direct boss, told investigators she had 'a female chip on her shoulder'. And senior partner Ted Schlein rebuffed the feminist rallying call from Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg that women 'deserve a seat at the table'.

In a scandal startlingly similar to the one in Rotherham, police and social services will be criticised for failing to protect vulnerable children from sexual abuse.

Some were abused for up to eight years despite asking for help from the authorities, who instead refused to believe them or blamed them. Their abusers fed them drink and drugs before taking them to graveyards, a B&B and flats rented just for the rape and torture of children. According to the Guardian, one 12-year-old girl was taken to a Reading house for a backstreet abortion during a six-year period where she was passed between groups of men who raped her in what she called 'torture sex'. The plight of the victims was laid bare in 2013 when seven members of a sadistic gang were jailed for a total of 95 years for their 'depraved' and 'evil' abuse of vulnerable girls. Five gang members were given life sentences and two others were jailed for seven years for 'crimes of the utmost gravity'.

Ben Carson (above) said in an interview on Tuesday that he believes being gay is 'absolutely' a choice . The comments were made during an interview on the CNN program New Day when host Chris Cuomo asked the retired doctor if he did in fact believe that being gay was a choice. Carson followed up his comment by implying that something happens to incarcerated individuals while behind bars that makes them choose to be gay. 'So did something happen while they were in there?' he said. 'Ask yourself that question.' He then went in on the issue of gay marriage. 'Why do gay people want to get married? Why do they say they want to get married? Because they want to have various rights -- property rights, visitation rights,' he said. 'Why can't any two human beings, I don't care what their sexual orientation is, why can't they have the legal right to do those things? That does not require changing the definition of marriage.' For this reason he said he believes marriage should be decided at the state level, this on the same day the Alabama Supreme Court ignored a federal ruling and in a near unanimous vote ordered the state's probate judges to stop issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. Carson is in favor of civil unions. Carson has long been outspoken when it comes to his opinions on gay marriage, which he compared to bestiality and pedophilia in a 2013 speech. In an interview with Sean Hannity, Carson said; 'My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It's a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality. It doesn't matter what they are.' He continued by saying; 'They don't get to change the definition. So he, it's not something that is against gays, it's against anybody who wants to come along and change the fundamental definitions of pillars of society. It has significant ramifications.'

One of the vessels to be launched is the ground-breaking Yuanzheng 1 - also known as the 'space bus' - which can launch 10 different satellites at once. 2013 was a massive year for China whose scientists launched 16 spacecraft to firmly establish their cosmic credentials. In October 2003, it became only the third country in history to independently launch a manned mission into space on the Shenzhou 5. Ground-breaking: One of the 40 aircraft China plans to put into orbit is the Yuanzheng 1 'space bus' which can carry 10 satellites into space and restart its engines over 20 times . Historic: In December 2013, China's Chang'e-3 lunar probe became the first object to soft-land on the moon since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976 . A spokesman for the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation said the vessels going up this year will mostly be 'communication satellites' orbiting at around 36,000ft. Director of its Space Department Zhao Xiaojin added: 'There will also be some remote sensing satellites sent up to observe the earth as well as navigation satellites.' Chinese space authorities also said a number of 'cutting edge' technologies will be tested for the first time, including the highly anticipated 'space bus'. The Yuanzheng 1 is China's largest ever rocket with a diameter of 5.2 meters. It needs to be assembled at the launch site because trains carrying it would not be able to pass through tunnels. Its engine can restart over 20 times when flying in orbit and it is thought to be 75 per cent more efficient than spacecraft of the same size. It also has the capability to move old, scrapped satellites out of useful orbit and into so-called 'cemetery orbits' to prevent them from hindering other space-faring vehicles. In December 2013, the Chang'e 3 lander - named after the Chinese moon goddess - became the first object to soft-land on the moon since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976. China's National Space Administration operated the mission which incorporated a robotic lander and the country's first ever lunar rover.

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. Even the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has admitted taking his children to casualty at the weekend rather than making an appointment with a GP. But the unnecessary visits are adding to the pressures of busy departments and diverting staff from treating patients who are very seriously ill. It all came to a head in January when 13 hospitals declared major internal incidents in a two-day period as they were unable to cope with the numbers coming through the door. Now experts are urging patients to use local pharmacies, where they can be offered advice and treatment. Matthew Speers, from the Proprietary Association of Great Britain \u2013 which represents medicine manufacturers and commissioned the research \u2013 said: \u2018Pharmacists are well placed to provide advice to people with minor conditions, ensuring they get support without diverting NHS resources from people who really need them.\u2019 Figures show that 21.7 million patients attended A&E in 2013/14 - a rise of more than a third in a decade . But Dr Clifford Mann, president of the College of Emergency Medicine, which represents A&E doctors said attempts to divert patients did not work. Dr Mann, an A&E consultant at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, Dorset, added that the \u2018A&E brand is well-known and trusted\u2019 so \u2018patients will continue to attend.\u2019 He said the only solution was to install GP clinics at A&E units so patients with minor ailments could be sent there leaving staff to deal with the more serious cases. Figures show that 21.7 million patients attended A&E in 2013/14 - a rise of more than a third in a decade. And the NHS has missed its target for ensuring 95 per cent of patients are dealt with within four hours every week for the last six months. In November, Jeremy Hunt admitted in the", "summary": "More than 4 million visits a year are unnecessary \u2013 costing the NHS \u00a3290m . Doctors say some patients have even turned up because they were hungover, their false nails were hurting or they had paint in their hair . Problem is exacerbated by the fact it is so hard to see a GP, experts say ."}

Dr Thomas Oakland, 75, was initially believed to have died in a house fire, but an autopsy on the retired University of Florida professor found that he'd been bludgeoned and was already dead when fire consumed his Gainesville home Wednesday. Police opened a homicide investigation and began searching for a couple who knew the professor. Late Thursday, the US Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended 37-year-old Stephen Underwood Jr. in Jacksonville.

Shirley Johnstone had mixed feelings when the A&E doctor said the X-ray of her elbow showed no sign of a fracture. \u2018It was a relief there was no serious damage. But I was in agony \u2014 I couldn\u2019t move or straighten my arm, and felt I needed more than just paracetamol and a few days off work,\u2019 recalls Shirley, 60, a chef from Great Wakering in Essex. The pain had begun suddenly when she stretched up to adjust a showerhead. \u2018At first I thought I\u2019d slept on my arm badly,\u2019 she says. \u2018But it was so painful, my partner advised me to get it checked.\u2019 Six days after she was seen at A&E, Shirley received a phone call from the hospital. Doctors had reviewed the X-ray and there was a fracture after all, in the olecranon, the protruding bone that forms the tip of the elbow. It was a mistake that, four years on, is still affecting Shirley\u2019s life. For a second X-ray showed that the fractured bone fragments had moved 4mm in the intervening days. Her arm was put in a cast, then a week later she had surgery to pin the bone in place. But a year after the operation she developed a painful infection because fluid had built up around the fracture. And three years later she still gets pain in the joint, especially in cold weather. \u2018I had to have so much time off work, I was demoted and put on a lower wage,\u2019 she says. \u2018I\u2019ve never got back on track.\u2019 Shirley has never had a proper explanation for the delay in spotting the fracture. \u2018One doctor told me, \u201cI\u2019m afraid sometimes these things get missed\u201d,\u2019 she says. Every year one person in 100 in the UK breaks a bone, and about half the 20 million or so visits to A&E involve having an X-ray, mostly to check for bone injury. But research suggests that thousands of patients walk out of A&E with doctors having failed to spot their fracture. \u2018Numerous studies have shown that failure to detect a fracture on an X-ray is the most common diagnostic error made in A&E,\u2019 says Michael Kelly, consultant orthopaedic trauma surgeon at North Bristol NHS Trust. And if a broken bone is not stabilised quickly, the impact can be devastating. \u2018At the very least, people suffer prolonged pain and inconvenience,\u2019 says Mr Kelly, \u2018but it can also lead to \u2018chronic functional limitation with long-term pain, early symptoms of osteoarthritis or a stiff joint.\u2019 The bone may also fail to fuse and need complex surgery later.

Sent anonymously to Federation Farmers and Fonterra in November, the letters also included small packages of milk powder which were laced with concentrated 1080 poison, according to the NZ Herald. Detailed in the letters were threats claiming that if New Zealand didn't stop using poison 1080 - a chemical used in pesticides - by the end of March the senders would contaminate baby and other formulas. Letters sent to Federation Farmers in New Zealand last November contained threats to contaminate baby formula with poison 1080 . Police are now appealing for the public's help in catching the letter senders. They launched their investigation in November, headed up by an Auckland-based team called Operation Concord and involving up to 36 police officers. New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key has described the attack as a 'form of ecoterrorism'. 'Police have advised there is a low likelihood of the threat being carried out, but because of the nature of it, both the police and ministers have taken the treat seriously,' Mr Key said in a press conference in Parliament according to the NZ Herald. He also added that testing through each step of the supply chain was carried out before the public was notified of the potential threat. Mike Clement, Police Deputy Commissioner of National Operations said the threat needed to be treated in a serious matter despite that fact it could be a hoax. Mr Clement urged the person, or people, responsible for the distribution of the letters to make themselves known to police. 'The letter writer may not have really considered the implications of their actions when this communication was drafted,' Mr Clement said. No specific brand was targeted and officials say they are certain no formulas are currently contaminated . Ministry for Primary Industries Deputy Director General Scott Gallagher said he was sure that New Zealand baby and other formula was still safe despite the threats. 'This criminal threat is designed to cause fear in order to generate a domestic policy outcome,' Mr Gallagher also said. He also confirmed that there is currently no 1080 poison in any baby formula. Mr Clement urged people to check packets for any signs of tampering or interference after 'this criminal blackmail threat', and said that no particular brand had been targeted. As officials have been aware of the threat since last November, they are positive that there is currently no danger of contamination and in fact formulas are safer than ever due to stricter screening and control.

+{"article": "Prince Charles can often be found in his study late at night writing letters to ministers, civil servants and other prominent figures . Long after the servants \u2013 and his wife \u2013 have retired to their beds at Clarence House, Prince Charles can often be found in his study, a lamp burning on the desk as he scratches away in black ink. At his most productive period, his passionate words have poured out at the rate of 1,000 letters a year to ministers, civil servants and other prominent public figures. To regular recipients, this correspondence is known as the \u2018black spider\u2019 memos, which have been thumping on to the desks of successive government members for well over three decades. An underlined phrase here, an exclamation mark there and notes of emphasis in the margins everywhere. This has been the Prince\u2019s modus operandi for tackling the issues of the day for so long now that no one among his staff can remember a time when he was not crafting these often heartfelt missives in the dead of night. He sees it as his constitutional duty to speak his mind about the subjects that matter to him. Indeed, the closer he edges to the throne, the more opinionated he seems to become. He freely admits that he is an \u2018inveterate interferer and meddler\u2019. Only last week he made a rare public defence of his interventions during a visit to Washington. Asked why he \u2018still cared so much\u2019 about environmental issues, he replied: \u2018Well, I\u2019ll turn it round the other way. I think you\u2019d be surprised if I didn\u2019t care about things,\u2019 adding: \u2018There\u2019s an awful lot to worry about.\u2019 To some, these regal intrusions have become dangerously parti pris and political \u2013 a charge Charles denies. In private, he maintains that because he\u2019s been around so long and meets so many different people his own experiences of many matters are often greater than those of the minister charged with dealing with them. Indeed, there is an argument he would have avoided the controversy over the 27 letters written to seven Whitehall departments in a six-month period between September 2004 and March 2005 \u2013 and seized back the initiative \u2013 by disclosing them in full himself. One former advisor tells me that he would have urged the Prince to publish them on his website to allow the public to make up its mind about their content. \u2018Publish and be damned, because what he was saying was just great common sense that would strike a chord with the public,\u2019 the ex-aide says. Instead, a legal battle has waged for ten years. According to former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, who fought the case all the way to the Supreme Court because he said the notes risked sacrificing the political neutrality of the future king, they reflect the Prince\u2019s \u2018most deeply held personal views and beliefs\u2019.

Having forged a career starring in Hollywood blockbusters and packed theatres, people might assume Julie Walters to be brimming with confidence. But the veteran star has revealed that when it came to romance in her younger years, she relied on a helping hand from alcohol to bring her out of her shell. The mother-of-one, 65, has admitted that before meeting her husband Grant Roffey, 57, thirty years ago, she had never had sex while sober. However, now she has been diagnosed with a yeast allergy she almost never drinks and, on the rare occasions she does, hates the effect it has on her health. In a candid interview, she also reveals she is finding it increasingly difficult to learn her lines, a problem she has increasingly found as she stars in new series Indian Summers. The Mamma Mia! star met Mr Roffey while she was starring in a production of Macbeth and began a whirlwind romance almost immediately but they only married in 1997, 11 years into their relationship. Talking to Saga magazine, she has said how their first encounter ended with a drunken tryst and that, at that time in her life, she always needed to drink before being able to have sex. She described how she and a friend had drunk three bottles of champagne before bumping into her future husband at a bar in Leicester. She said: \u2018It was full of Hooray Henries.

Arsenal and Chelsea both crashed out of the competition on away goals in the first knockout stage, beaten by Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain respectively. Wenger, however, has long championed a change to the rule. Arsenal crashed out of the Champions League on away goals despite beating Monaco on Tuesday . Monaco scored three away goals at the Emirates which proved to be the difference in the tie . If at the end of two-legged tie the score is level, the team that has scored the most goals away from home is declared the winner. For example, Monaco beat Arsenal 3-1 away from home before losing 2-0 in Monte Carlo. With the score tied at 3-3, Monaco progressed courtesy of having scored on more goal on their travels. 'That's a rule that's outdated now and should be changed,' the Arsenal boss said. 'It should count maybe after extra-time. It was created in the 1960s to get teams to attack away from home. 'Since then football has changed and the weight of the away goals is too big today. Maybe count it after extra-time like in the League Cup in England.

Too many babies are being born to immigrant mothers in the UK, a Government minister said last night. In controversial remarks, Lord Bates said that a quarter of children born in the UK each year now had a mother who was herself from overseas. He added: 'That is why we need to reduce immigration'. In 2001, prior to Labour presiding over a decade of wide-scale immigration, only 16 per cent of UK births were to foreign mothers. Home Office Minister Lord Bates reeled off a series of statistics to demonstrate the significant impact mass immigration is having. They included the fact that, at the end of December 2013, there were an estimated 7.8million people born overseas living in the UK. It is understood to be the first time a Government minister has directly suggested a need to reduce the number of babies being born to immigrants. However, ministers and campaign groups have in the past stressed the pressure which is being put on maternity services and schools. Lord Bates, who was previously MP for Langbaurgh in the north east, was responding to a House of Lords question from Migrationwatch chairman Lord Green of Deddington. In lively exchanges, Lord Green said that \u2013 based on current levels of net migration \u2013 Britain would have to build a new city the size of Birmingham every two years to cope. Currently, there are 300,000 more people arriving in the UK every year than leaving \u2013 demolishing David Cameron's pledge to cut the figure to the 'tens of thousands'. Lord Bates said: 'We are absolutely at one on needing a firm but fair immigration policy to protect the public services of this country and provide opportunities for those who want to come here to work.' However, he was criticised by members of the Labour and Liberal Democrat benches for his comments.

And early in the discussion, Ollie proved most prophetic in discussing the game that would take place below them later in the afternoon. With a cup final and a top league clash it was always likely to be a Super Sunday that lived up to its billing . Philippe Coutinho scored a fantastic goal for Liverpool in Sky's first game of the day from Anfield . He acknowledged the Capital One Cup was probably 'bottom of the league for top clubs'.

There was even a great chat with Chelsea kit man Gary Grey who explained that John Terry took his captain's duties so seriously, he was like ' a second kit man'.

England can hold their heads high and go forward with real confidence after near miss . The shackles really came off and it was really great to watch. Wales and Ireland also found a new level \u2014 211 points in total were scored in the three games \u2014to set what looked like a nigh on impossible target. Very few pundits would have predicted that England would kick off needing to beat France by 26 points, which was a huge ask but a very useful exercise in concentrating the mind on a very specific task when you feel free to empty the tanks and leave nothing on the pitch. Ben Youngs jumps for joy after scoring the first try of the match on Saturday evening . Although England started with the encouragement of an early try, they started chasing the big score a little bit too early and got too loose. You want the game too open up a little to create space but you still have to remember defensive discipline and in the first 20 minutes England missed nine tackles, which is always going to spell trouble against any French side. France nipped in for those two tries from Noa Nakitaci \u2014 even if he was taking the concept of going in under the posts a little far for the second! And that rocked England back a little but they stayed positive and did really well, firstly to get back in the game and then to chase for the title. George Ford slides on to his right side as he scores England's fourth try of the afternoon . 1 There is a chance England\u2019s World Cup pool will be decided by points difference. Games between England, Australia and Wales are likely to be close which places an onus on big wins over Fiji and Uruguay. 2 The England pack aren\u2019t quite as dominant as we thought. They need to go up a gear and the return of Joe Launchbury and Alex Corbisiero should help. With the England forwards controlling affairs up front \u2014 as they did in the last autumn against the Aussies \u2014 I would be confident of England beating Australia. 3 England have found their World Cup fly-half in George Ford and pretty much have the back division in place except for the debate", "summary": "England cut loose in thrilling fashion against France on Saturday .

Walsall are set to play Bristol City in the final of this year's tournament on March 22, but in future second-string sides from the Premier League would be allowed to compete with the 48 League One and Two teams if plans are finalised. Football League clubs authorised the Football League's executive to push forward with the plans last month, although a formal proposal is yet to be passed.

Youth squads from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea could soon be headed for the lower-tier cup . If the Football League do bring 'B' teams into the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, they could adopt a similar format to that suggested by Greg Dyke last year, meaning teams would: . And in a meeting of AFC Wimbledon's Supporters' Trust, The Dons Trust, it was revealed that only one League Two club voted against the idea - Wimbledon themselves. FA Chairman Greg Dyke proposed the idea of bringing 'B' teams into the league pyramid itself in June last year but was told that Football League clubs had 'no appetite' for such a move. However it now seems that they are more keen on introducing the development squads into the JPT in a move that could one day see youth sides from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea facing each other in a Wembley Stadium show-piece final. A statement from the Football League clarifying the situation read: 'Clubs have been asked to consider the concept of permitting 16 U21 teams from clubs with category one academies to participate in The Football League Trophy. 'The competition would feature 16 groups of four teams with one U21 team in each group, before a knockout stage leading to a final at Wembley Stadium. 'Given the previous concerns of the League and its clubs about Premier League B teams playing in the pyramid, any final proposal would also be accompanied by a change to the League's Articles of Association that would protect the current 72 club constitution, save for any changes to promotion/relegation that clubs wished to make. Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson holds the trophy last year - but a youth coach win it in future . 'Therefore, having provided them with this comfort, clubs willingly debated the potential commercial, financial and player development benefits of having U21 teams in this competition from 2015/16. 'No formal proposals were tabled and no formal vote taken. 'Instead, League One and Two clubs were asked to indicate whether they were content to see The Football League progress the matter, which would include discussions with the Premier League and Football Association, so that clubs can consider a full proposal at a future point.'

In court, he was fined $1,950 (\u00a31,500) but had no conviction recorded. Hunt, who has also played in the National Rugby League, bought the drugs from a former professional rugby league player. Karmichael Hunt pleaded guilty in a Gold Coast court to four charges of possessing cocaine . The Reds, who signed Hunt to a three-year Super Rugby contract late last year, suspended the fullback on Feb. 20 when the drug investigation was first announced. The ARU and Queensland Rugby Union said that since Hunt had already missed two weeks of play while awaiting his court case, he will return during Super Rugby's eighth round. He will be allowed to train at the Reds practice facility at Ballymore at times when the rest of the squad is not there. 'We are extremely disappointed in Karmichael's actions as illicit substances have no place in rugby,' ARU chief executive Bill Pulver said. 'However we acknowledge that he is sincerely remorseful and has cooperated with the investigation and our integrity enquiries throughout this process. Karmichael has also accepted the penalty and consequences of his actions and understands the requirements of a professional athlete and the expectations of our code.' The Reds also said Hunt would no longer be a vice-captain of the team. 'I intend to work through the education and rehabilitation program and will return to the game in a way that sends a clear message to sports fans of all ages that the use of illicit substances has no place in sport,' Hunt said in a statement provided by the Reds. Hunt says he was relieved wiht the outcome and admitted it has been difficult for him and his family . Speaking outside court before his ARU suspension was announced, Hunt said he was relieved with the outcome. 'It's been a difficult couple of weeks for me and my family,' he said. 'We're looking forward to putting this process behind us.' In court, Hunt was provided with character references from several sports officials, including seven-time NRL premiership coach Wayne Bennett of the Brisbane Broncos. Hunt's lawyer Alastair McDougall told the court his client had shown remorse by pleading guilty. 'He's suffered enormous economic loss,' McDougall said. 'His two young daughters, with a third on the way, must grow up knowing their father has broken the law.' The same investigation which implicated Hunt also resulted in notices being served to eight current or former members of the Gold Coast Titans NRL team. Two of those players, Beau Falloon and Jamie Dowling, also had their cases initially dealt with on Thursday, but they'll return to court", "summary": "Queensland Reds player pleaded guilty to four counts of possession .

Her 'favorable' rating \u2013 a measure of how many Americans see her in a positive light \u2013 is now 'under water,' meaning that she has fewer fans than detractors. A CBS News poll released Thursday found that just 26 per cent see her favorably, compared with 37 per cent who don't. The rest, about one-third of those polled, haven't made up their minds. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS AND THE SURVEY RESULTS . UNDER WATER: Clinton's 'positive' poll numbers now trail her 'negatives' by 11 percentage points . READY TO REBOUND? Clinton's favorability numbers are only a few points higher today than when they hit an all-time low, according to a CBS poll \u2013 right after her memoir 'Hard Choices' hit bookshelves . Unsurprisingly, Clinton's 'unfavorable' numbers are high among Republicans, registering 78 per cent. Barely half of Democrats, though \u2013 just 55 per cent \u2013 say they hold favorable views of her. That number is down 8 points since November 2013. Across the entire voting spectrum, Clinton has lost 12 points of support in the intervening 16 months. Her high-water mark in the CBS poll came just two months after she took over the U.S. State Department in early 2009, when 58 per cent of Americans said they liked her. But the wheels fell off shortly after she left the Obama administration: When her memoir 'Hard Choices' his bookshelves, her favorability number bottomed out at 24 per cent. The most recent survey, conducted March 21-24, shows she's barely rebounded since then. WAITING IN THE WINGS: A deep field of Republicans including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (left), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (center) and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (right) is chomping at the bit and waiting for a chance to attack Clinton . There's bad news also for Clinton-backers who hope her 'email-gate' scandal has only temporarily poisoned the public perceptions. Two-thirds of those surveyed said the brewing scandal had no impact on their opinion, giving her precious little ground to make up even if the controversy fades. In addition to Clinton's use of a private, unaudited email server for all her messages while she was the Obama administration's top diplomat, she continues to be dogged by accusations that her family foundation accepted millions of dollars from foreign governments during the same timeframe. CBS pollsters did not ask whether that embarrassing news had an impact on how Americans see her. But her responses to the email kerfuffle have produced mixed results. Americans appear evenly divided over whether Clinton's explanations satisfied their concerns. Forty-two per cent said yes, while 40 per cent said no. LONG MEMORY: Some part of voters' negative impressions of Mrs. Clinton may harken back to her time as first lady . Thirty-eight per cent said they believe Clinton kept the State Department out of the loop on her emails principally to shield work-related communications from the public. Forty-nine percent believed her claim that she did it", "summary": "CBS poll found the Democratic presidential front-runner has lost 12 percentage points of support since November 2013 .

+{"article": "If you can\u2019t get rid of your pot belly, no matter how hard you try, blame your Plexin D1 gene. Scientists believe the gene tells fat to gather around the middle, rather than the bottom and thighs. In other words, it influences whether someone is an \u2018apple\u2019, with a big tummy, or a \u2018pear\u2019, who widens out below the waist. It raises the possibility of pills that stop fat from being stored around the waist \u2013 meaning an end to pot bellies and muffin tops. Apple-shaped: Scientists have discovered that a gene called Plexin D1 influences whether a person is an 'apple', with a big belly, or a 'pear' with fat on their hips and thighs . And the benefits wouldn\u2019t just be cosmetic. The discovery of the \u2018apple-shape\u2019 gene is important because being an \u2018apple\u2019 who stores fat around the middle is worse for health than being a \u2018pear\u2019. Unlike the fat that pads out pear-shapes, belly fat wraps around the body\u2019s vital organs and produces hormones and other chemicals that tamper with blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar levels. As a result it raises the risk of a host of health problems including heart disease, diabetes and strokes. To get to the bottom of how fat is stored, the US researchers studied zebra fish, tiny tropical fish whose transparent bodies make it see their inner workings. By using a dye that turned fat cells fluorescent, they showed that fish without a gene called Plexin D1 stored less fat around their abdomen than usual. Muffin top: Fat around the middle is dangerous to health as it wraps itself around vital organs, and raises the risk of health problems including heart disease, diabetes and strokes . Instead, the fat was stored in more a pear-shaped pattern, the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports. The fish without apple-shape gene were also better at processing sugar \u2013 something that should cut the odds of diabetes. With the Plexin-1 gene thought to have a similar role in people, the research paves the way for a drug that stops people from growing big bellies. Researcher Dr James Minchin, of Duke University, in North Carolina, said that this could also be good for health.", "summary": "Plexin D1 gene influences whether a person is 'apple' or 'pear' shaped .

Among the combinations that took a step backwards at the Aviva Stadium was the centre partnership of Burrell and Jonathan Joseph, who disappointed after encouraging outings against Wales and Italy. The centre duo were hardly alone in underperforming amid an inexplicably subdued England display, but with only five games remaining until the World Cup - three of them warm up matches for the tournament - opportunities to reassert themselves are running out. Joseph excelled against Wales and Italy, forcing Burrell to take a back seat, and the inside centre's place in the team was under threat until Brad Barritt was ruled out against Scotland by a sprained ankle. The full back has been an ever-present for Stuart Lancaster's side and his loss was a real miss for the squad . Brown (15) was knocked unconscious against Italy and didn't feature in England's defeat in Ireland . Burrell, who has shaken off a calf problem to retain his place in the starting XV, points out that he has taken a selfless approach as his understanding with Joseph grows. 'It's always nice scoring tries, but it's just as nice getting the applause from Jonathan and others for creating that space and doing the hard graft that some people might not pick up on,' he said . 'On and off the field we have a good relationship. We get on really well. We had last weekend off but we've still been speaking to each other. 'It's good to have that relationship because we have a group that has got each other's backs and look out for each other.

+{"article": "It emerged on Monday that Raheem Sterling could be prepared to turn down as much as \u00a3180,000 per week as contract talks with Liverpool continue to stall. The England international's current \u00a335,000-per-week deal has another two years to run at the end of this season and Sterling has so far turned down a number of offers from the Anfield club. Sterling has become increasingly concerned by his constant switching of positions in the Liverpool side and has even been utilised at right wing back by Brendan Rodgers. Here, Sportsmail answers five key questions on the Liverpool star\u2019s future. The Liverpool forward was in action for his country on Friday night in a European qualifier . Raheem Sterling is prepared to turn down a mammoth \u00a3180,000-a-week deal at Liverpool . 1) What is Sterling\u2019s issue with the deal on the table? Brendan Rodgers dug himself a hole by claiming Sterling is the one of the best young players in Europe. Someone of that stature is worth, at least, \u00a3100,000-per-week. Your moral views on whether a player so young should be paid so much is irrelevant. You pay your best players the going rate. Sterling, arguably, is Liverpool's best player meaning he should be, at least, on a par with Daniel Sturridge's \u00a3150,000 per week. Likewise, there are issues with Sterling's role in the team at the moment. He's been shifted around the pitch by Rodgers - even utilised as a right wing back on occasions. He sees his best position as being through the middle. Sterling's current \u00a335,000-per-week deal has two years to run at the end of this season . The 20-year-old scored for England in their 4-0 win over Lithuania at Wembley on Friday night . Sterling impressed as part of England's front three but he has been used at wing back by Liverpool . 2) What would it take to get him to sign a new deal? Certainly an improvement on the \u00a390,000-per-week deal they've offered but even that may not be enough for him to sign. Qualifying for the Champions League will also help matters. A player of Sterling's rising stock wants to be plying his trade on the biggest club stage of all. Playing in the Europa League next season is nowhere near as glamorous. Assurances over his role in the side may help, too. 3) Are Liverpool losing patience with their star man? The fans are starting to get a little restless. The longer this drags on, the more agitated supporters become. Fans believe there will be a resolution but that optimism isn't shared by those in the corridors of power at Anfield. They know there's a real danger of Sterling point blank refusing to sign any sort of contract. Liverpool chiefs need to keep negotiations amicable. It's a delicate juggling act for them. There will be no shortage of suitors for Sterling should he leave Liverpool - in the Premier League and Europe .

'I'm free to roam around, take players on, have shots and create chances.' This season, the year when people were convinced Barkley would come of age in the colours of Everton, he has scored twice and created just two more. Little wonder he accepts he has had a dip in form. Ross Barkley (right) gets away from Italy's Roberto Soriano during England's 1-1 draw in Turin . The Everton midfielder loses the ball after a challenge from Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini . Barkley replaced Theo Walcott in the second half and looked bright as the Three Lions earned a draw . The problem with Barkley, who showed flashes of his talent after coming on as a 55th-minute substitute during England's 1-1 draw with Italy in Turin, is that nobody is quite sure what his best position is. Ask everybody involved with him at Everton or with England and they will come up with a different answer. This season alone he has played in five different roles (six if his appearances as a substitute are included) for Everton: 10 in his favoured role off the main forward, six starts on the left, once in front of the back four, once in the centre of midfield and one start at right wing. At 21 there has to be an element of confusion, struggling to work out why his manager Roberto Martinez is playing him in so many different positions at Goodison Park. Barkley came off the bench as England beat Lithuania on Friday to stay on course for Euro 2016 . The 21-year-old replaced midfielder Jordan Henderson for the last 20 minutes at Wembley . For some players this would be an education, an opportunity to experience the game from different areas of the pitch as they continue their development. With Barkley, it feels very different. He has had such a billing since he first broke in to the Everton them, with comparisons to the late, great Alan Ball, to the mercurial talents of Paul Gascoigne over recent times, that his name creates mild hysteria whenever it is mentioned. It seems particularly unfair to compare him with Ball, a man who controlled the tempo of matches when he was playing for Everton, Arsenal and England. He was also, notably, a World Cup winner. It should also be remembered that Gascoigne, who had a far better goalscoring record at Newcastle, had to wait until he was 21 to make his England debut, against Denmark in 1988. Barkley has serious potential, something Roy Hodgson and his coaching staff recognise with his regular appearances in the England squad. They, too, are baffled by Barkley's failure to hold down a regular, fixed position with his club because he is attentive and willing to learn during England's training sessions.

+{"article": "Britain's most dangerous roads are in Lincolnshire, a new report has revealed. The county was named as the place where more drivers, passengers and pedestrians were killed than anywhere else in the country. The study also found that residents living in rural communities nationally were more likely to be 'killed or seriously injured' on the roads. This is because vehicles travel faster and there are fewer traffic calming measures, according to the research carried out by the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTs) and Direct Line Car Insurance. Grimsby, pictured, had the highest road casualty rate on roads in Britain, according to a new study . This is compared to more urban areas where casualty rates were well below the national average. The report calculated the casualty rates for residents of each parliamentary constituency. Those in the North and East of England had the highest in Britain, with both Lincolnshire and Lancashire having three constituencies each in the top ten. It concluded that Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire, had the highest road casualty rate in Britain. The town's casualty figures were 53 per cent higher her than the national average. Banff and Buchan in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, had the highest number of people killed or seriously injured, with figures 111 per cent above the national average. By contrast, South Wales had the lowest rates for casualties killed or seriously injured. Four Cardiff constituencies, along with Torfaen and Newport West, ranked in the bottom 10. In 2013 a total of 183,670 people were reported injured on British roads, including 23,370 killed or seriously injured, at a cost to society of \u00a315 billion. There are three main factors affecting deaths and serious injury on the roads, the report said. The first is the driver's behaviour, including speeding, drink and drug driving, non-use of seat-belts and use of mobiles behind the wheel. Grimsby's casualty figures were 53 per cent higher than the national average. Pictured: Grimsby . The second is the safety quality of the road network itself and the vehicles using it, and the third is the quality of emergency medical system and trauma care in that particular region. David Davies, Executive Director of PACTS said: 'Road collisions remain a major cause of death and serious injury in Britain. 'Traffic danger has a significant negative influence on society, it discourages people from walking or cycling, restricts the freedom of children and means vulnerable road users feel intimidated. 'Despite great improvements in emergency services and trauma care, thousands of victims of road collisions are left with life-changing injuries while the families of casualties also find their lives changed forever.' Mike Holliday-Williams, Managing Director Personal Lines at Direct Line added: 'Good information is an essential basis for effective road safety action. 'Now, for the first time, MPs have specific road casualty information based on their constituency boundaries and its residents. 'We hope the Road Safety Dashboard will provide a catalyst for action aimed at reducing deaths and injury at a local level, as the diversity of results demonstrate there is a no 'one size fits all' solution .", "summary": "Study finds Britain's most dangerous roads are in Lincolnshire .

The human rights office published a horrifying report describing killings, torture, rape, sexual slavery and the use of child soldiers by the extremists, suggesting they may be guilty of 'war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.' The report, based on interviews with more than 100 witnesses and survivors of attacks in Iraq between June 2014 and February 2015, highlights brutal ISIS attacks on the Yazidis. Scroll down for video . Atrocities: Thousands of members of the Yazidi religious minority were forced to flee a 2014 offensive by Islamic State militants in northern Iraq . They have made calls for the perpetrators to be brought to justice at the International Criminal Court. ISIS, which controls a swathe of territory in Iraq and neighbouring Syria, launched a series of systematic and widespread attacks on the Yazidi minority's heartland in the northern Nineveh province last August. The jihadists consistently separated out men and boys over the age of 14 to be executed, while younger boys were forced to become child solders and women and girls were abducted as the 'spoils of war', according to the investigators. Head of the investigation, Suki Nagra, said: 'These attacks were aimed at destroying the Yazidi as a group,' suggesting ISIS was guilty of 'genocide' against the minority. The report, which was ordered by the UN Human Rights Council last September following a request from the Iraqi government, pointed out that some villages 'were entirely emptied of their Yazidi population.' Evidence of genoside: A mass grave containing the remains of members of the Yazidi community was discovered by Kurdish forces near the Iraqi village of Sinuni in February . Many Yazidi women and girls were sold into sexual slavery or handed over to IS members as 'gifts', the report said, adding that witnesses had described hearing girls as young as six screaming for help as they were raped in a house used by IS fighters. Boys as young as eight were forced to convert to Islam and given religious and military training, including being forced to watch videos of beheadings, the report said. 'One of the most shocking thing was how organised the attacks have been,' Nagra told reporters. The Yazidis at first thought they would be given the same choice as Christians in places overrun by the jihadists: to convert to Islam, pay a tax or leave. But then the fighters received orders via telephone, and suddenly the men and older boys were being marched off to be executed. 'There was a clear chain of command,' she said.

Unless, that is, if you can change your perception and allow yourself to create different rules and a different way of thinking,' Mr Starick told Daily Mail Australia. Scroll down for video .

Before he started out, he was told it wasn't possible to travel the globe using only the 'bartering economy.' But he set off anyway, with no currency and contracts - just a camera and 'an eager smile.' Starting his career as a freelance photographer, Mr Starick said modern day workplaces tended to funnel creative people like himself into specialties, where what was he was looking for was diversity. He decided to take off on the journey of a lifetime taking money out of the conversation and allowing his creative pursuits to take precedence. 'Money can really hinder creativity,' Mr Starick said. 'Anything can seem possible without applying that restriction,' he added. Mr Starick claims that by eliminating money from his travels he's been able to connect on a different level creatively with his clients. 'The real gem that comes from trading is how we can start to do more creative work with others, without the conversation focusing on money.' Mr Starick likens his philosophy to that of companies like Uber and Airbnb where there is no cash exchange between clients and more focus on personal interaction. 'Really, an uber driver is no different to a taxi driver. The huge difference is, that at the end of the day, you are being dropped at the airport like a relative is dropping you off. It's like being dropped to a restaurant by a friend.' Diversity is exquisite: Mr Starick's unofficial mantra leads him to photograph a diverse range of subjects .

A plan to draw up a \u2018death list\u2019 of how every ill or elderly person wants to die has been criticised as a dangerous and worrying idea.

They said two-thirds want to spend their final days at home \u2013 but half still die in hospital. A register of preferred options would help to stop this happening, MPs on the committee said. But Professor Patrick Pullicino, a leading neurologist, said the plan simply perpetuates the \u2018central flaw\u2019 of the discredited Liverpool Care Pathway. The professor, who was the first senior doctor to expose the failures of the LCP three years ago, said such a register carried huge risks. Those who wished to die at home might be denied essential care, said Professor Pullicino, a consultant neurologist with East Kent Universities NHS Foundation Trust. He also said it was not possible to know when a person will die. The LCP was abolished last July following several examples of \u2018shocking\u2019 abuse, many of them unveiled by the Daily Mail. Many families complained that their relatives were sedated with a \u2018chemical cosh\u2019 then killed by the removal of food and fluids, leading Care Services Minister Norman Lamb to denounce the LCP as a \u2018national disgrace\u2019.

Michelle Carter, 18, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Conrad Roy III, who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in his idling truck in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, last July. When Roy texted Carter that he wasn't sure he should take his life and had climbed out of the vehicle, she allegedly texted him: 'Get back in.' Her parents have defended their daughter saying she is 'not the villain the media is portraying her to be' and was only trying to help Roy, who had been suffering from depression. But classmates interviewed by police after the tragedy described her as someone who craves attention and is known as the girl who 'cries wolf'.

Archaeologists at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, have developed a way of diagnosing the disease in skeletons thousands of years old. Scientists have used the technique to reveal that infants and toddlers found in a cemetery within an ancient Roman villa in Italy had died of the disease. Scroll down for video . The scientists scraped bone marrow from bone sample to search for telltale crystals of a molecule called hemozoin that show the person who the bone belonged to had been infected with the malaria parasite . The method could now be used to track the spread of malaria back to its first appearance in humans by examining other ancient skeletons for signs of the infection. Jamie Inwood, an archaeologist at Yale University who led the research team, said: 'The data set we build with this will be revolutionary for establishing the epidemiological curve for malaria in ancient societies. Attempts to develop a vaccine against malaria have been frustrated by the parasite's highly variable nature. The parasite also tends to hide within red blood cells, making it difficult for the immune system to spot. Scientists at the US National Institutes of Health claim to have created a potential vaccine that can protect against lethal strains of malaria. The vaccine, developed blood samples taken from Tanzanian children naturally resistant to the disease, works by imprisoning the Malaria-causing parasites inside the red blood cells they infect. The scientists pinpointed a protein called PfSEA-1 which the parasites need to escape from the red blood cells they infect. Scientists found that an antibody produced by the immune children hits the malaria parasite at a critical stage in its life-cycle by taking action against this protein. The researchers said that an experimental vaccine based on this idea protected mice in five trials and will be tested on lab monkeys beginning in the next four to six weeks. 'By understanding how this parasite reacted to societal shifts in the past, we can aid in predicting its future behavior. We can understand the way it has evolved.' Miss Inwood and her colleagues developed the test by identifying specific chemical signals and molecules that are found in the bones of people infected with malaria. They found that a large molecule called hemozoin, which is expelled as a waste product by the malaria Plasmodium parasite. Using X-ray defraction, Miss Inwood and her team found they were able to identify black crystalline lumps of the molecule in the bone marrow of bone samples. They tested the technique on the remains of 100 children buried in a cemetery within the ruins of Roman villa at Lugnano in Teverina, Italy. The bodies, which dated from 550AD, had been buried with heavy roof tiles to weigh them down.

Oronsay was built primarily to get passengers from Tilbury to Sydney - fun was considered to be a fancy dress party or the odd beetle drive. Britannia has been purposefully built for enjoyment. It is an entertainment monster, bristling with fun on almost every deck. It is, to borrow a line from poetry, a stately pleasure dome. It's customary to bemoan the compromised standards of the modern era, to yearn for the sturdier certainties of times past. Cruising, at least, is one area where newer almost always means better. P&O Cruises may be part of the American Carnival corporation these days but, happily, it remains British to the tips of its mastheads. The bow of Britannia carries a huge stylised Union Jack, which serves not merely as a clever national marketing device, but broadcasts a British heritage which has been brought bang up to date.

Another area where we set the standard is in hotels: the international success of Nick Jones and his Soho House group has ushered in a new era of laid-back elegance. It is this very style that Britannia has captured so impressively. The modern era of British cruising, which P&O Cruises began with the Oriana more than 20 years ago, has now achieved an apotheosis with Britannia. For those poor holiday limpets who will not consider cruising because they refuse to acknowledge the emergence of what is arguably the purest form of holidaymaking, I have one piece of advice: be ruled by Britannia because Britannia really does rule the waves.", "summary": "Britannia has been purposefully built for enjoyment .

And a major sticking point is the number of charging stations available. Now Goodyear has created a concept tyre that could spell the end of these stations, and ultimately petrol cars, by charging the car as it drives. Scroll down for video . Goodyear\u2019s concept BH03 tyre (illustrated) was unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show. It is fitted with thermo-piezoelectric materials that convert heat into energy to charge an electric car without the need for a charging station. This conversion happens when the car is both stationary and moving . Called BH023, the tyre concept is fitted with thermo-piezoelectric materials. When parked, sunlight heats the tyre and this heat is transformed into electricity using the thermo-electric material. The tyre has also been designed to be \u2018ultra-black\u2019 to absorb as much heat as possible. When being driven, the friction between the tyre and the road as well as the \u2018squeezing\u2019 and movement of the piezoelectric material as it rolls generates a small electric voltage. Piezoelectricity is the charge that builds up in materials such as those made of crystalline and ceramic structures. Exposing them to mechanical force causes a separation of electrical charge, which sets up a voltage that can be used to charge products. When a piezoelectric material is squeezed rapidly, it produces a small electrical voltage for a moment. If a voltage is put across the material it makes a tiny change in shape. In 2001, Trevor Baylis, the British inventor best known for his wind-up radios, famously walked 100 miles across the Namib desert in his \u2019Electric Shoes\u2019, which charged a small battery that allowed him to use his mobile phone. This electricity is captured and directed to the car\u2019s battery to charge it as it moves. \u2018This tyre generates electricity through the action of materials in the tyre that capture and transform the energy created by heat when it flexes as it rolls during normal driving conditions,\u2019 explained Goodyear. \u2018The materials used would optimise the tyre's electricity generation capabilities as well as its rolling resistance. \u2018As demand for electric cars grows, this technology has the potential to significantly contribute to the solution of future mobility challenges. \u2018This visionary tyre technology could eliminate the vehicle-range anxiety motorists may have with electric cars.\u2019 Goodyear also unveiled a second concept called \u2018Triple Tube\u2019. This tyre features three internal tubes located beneath the tread near the inboard and outboard shoulders of the tyre, as well as the centre. It relies on an internal pump that moves air from the main air chamber to the three individual air chambers, or tubes. When parked, sunlight heats the tyre and this heat is transformed into electricity using the thermo-electric material. The tyre has also been designed to be \u2018ultra-black\u2019 to absorb as much heat as possible .

The latter prize, for beating New Zealand in December, 2012, was received with special relish. Luther Burrell sets off on a run during training as England prepare to face France . But what the coaches and players really crave is a cup that conveys meaningful achievement, and at last that is within their grasp.

While some of the presumed presidential candidate's party members have come to her defense, many lawmakers headed for the exits this week as reporters asked them for their opinion on the way Clinton handled her email while at the State Department. Democratic strategists were more willing discuss the scandal - but what they had to say, Clinton probably won't like.

Officials at 1600 Pennsylvania now claim they didn't know that Clinton was solely using her personal email address to conduct government business until Congress reopened an investigation into the Benghazi attack. According to the Associated Press, it was the White House counsel's office that ordered the State Department to retrieve Clinton's old emails. That version of events was never relayed to the press at large, despite the fact that President Barack Obama's spokesman Josh Earnest spent the better part of his briefings with reporters on Tuesday and Wednesday answering questions about what the White House knew about Clinton's exclusive use of her personal email address, when it knew it, and a host of other related inquires. He deflected as often as possible and referred press to the State Department and Clinton. Earnest did note that Clinton's detractors and government watchdogs haven't provided 'any evidence' that would indicate that the former administration official and her team are 'not being forthright' about turning in copies of all of her email communications from her four years in the president's cabinet. His comments were hardly a ringing endorsement of Clinton's honesty, however. The White House got a break on Thursday when a snowstorm bore down on Washington, D.C., giving Earnest cause to cancel his daily meeting with the press corps.

Alan Mackenzie, chairman of the AIA, said: 'The Government's emergency funding for pothole and flood repair following last year's wet winter has clearly contributed to the trends reported in this year's survey. 'Essentially, the money spent on filling the 2.7 million potholes reported is wasted - it is inefficient and short term in its effectiveness. 'So, while we understand that the Department for Transport is promoting permanent repairs, the point remains that money would be better spent preventing potholes forming in the first place. 'The \u00a36 billion of funding pledged between 2015 and 2021 is welcome, and hopefully will be confirmed by an incoming government. But the truth is that although it sounds like a big investment, it will only be enough for local authorities to tread water and it will do nothing to tackle the backlog or prevent continuing deterioration.' Peter Box, transport spokesman at the Local Government Association, said: 'Councils fixed more potholes than ever before last year - one every 15 seconds - despite spiralling multi-million pound compensation costs and funding cuts.

One of the women Jodie met for her TLC show, Jodie Marsh On Women Who Pay For Sex, which airs this evening, is Cyndi, 46, from Miami. Scroll down video . Cyndi, 46, from Miami, hit it off with male escort Dom who she hired to go on a date with her . She told Jodie that she was willing to pay $2,500 (\u00a31,700) for a date with her 'dream man' following the end of her 15-year marriage. The mother said: 'I am finding men my age haven't taken care of themselves that well, I like younger men.' On why she chose to hire a younger man to date rather than seek to meet someone on a dating site or through friends, Cyndi admitted it was because she just wanted to have fun and keep things casual. She said: 'I want to get out of the daily grind of my life. It's hard for women to admit we don't want strings either, we feel an obligation to want more from it. 'It's hard to admit to your friends you just want casual sex and a really fun night and not have anything more come of it.' Jodie, right, meets the pair who revealed their date led to a one night stand . Cyndi hired male escort Dom, a father in a long-term relationship, to go on a date with her to a yoga class followed by drinks and dinner. But Jodie discovered they clicked so well, they stayed the night at a hotel where they had sex. Male escorts legally can't advertise sex for money and websites are carefully worded so women know they are not buying sex but companionship. However, as Cyndi discovered, 'extras' are often on offer if both parties are agreeable. Appearing on today's This Morning with Jodie, Cyndi told presenters Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden that sex wasn't top of her agenda when she first hired Dom, a 6ft 3 ex-marine. She explained: 'Hiring a male escort was something I was curious about after getting divorced. It served my needs without getting serious. I thought of it as a fun adventure. 'I had an open mind but didn't think it would definitely lead to sex. I thought it would be good experience and chance to hang out with good looking man who paid attention to me.

The victim has been identified as Otis James Byrd, 54, who went missing on March 2 after his friend dropped him off at a casino in Vicksburg, 30 miles north from where his body was discovered. His family reported him missing on March 8. The NAACP was the first to identify Byrd. Officials have not yet confirmed the victim's identity, but local authorities were searching for the missing man when they found the body. If the death is ruled a murder, the NAACP's concerns are that is has echoes of a lynching. Byrd was convicted of murder in 1980, but was then paroled in 2006. He shot dead a white woman named Lucille Trim as he carried out an armed robbery. Scroll down for video . What happened? Otis James Byrd, 54 (pictured left and right), was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi after he went missing March 2 . Local, state and federal investigators are combing the scene off Old Rodney Road to determine the cause of death. He was found about 200 yards from his home. 'We don't know right now. All I can say is what I told you: It's under investigation,' Coroner J.W. Mallett said. Jim Walker, spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks said the body had 'obvious signs' of decay, suggesting it had been hanging there for at least a day. Mystery: Above, a hearse is seen parked near the scene of the hanging on Thursday. Investigators are trying to determine whether Byrd's death was a homicide or suicide . Without a trace: The body was found in a wooded area near Old Rodney Road in Port Gibson, Mississippi about 200 yards from his home. The last time he was seen, a friend was dropping him off at a casino in Vicksburg . Dark past: Above, Byrd's parole board mugshot. He was released from prison in 2006 after spending 25 years in prison for a murder conviction . The owner of the land, 87-year-old Johnie Baker, said that the area where Byrd's body was found is covered in pecan and black walnut trees. He added that hunters sometimes hunt in the area and that there are also wild boars on the land. So far, authorities say it's too early to determine whether the victim's death was a homicide or a suicide. However, the NAACP is petitioning to have the U.S. Department of Justice involved in the investigation, fearing Byrd's death may have been a hate crime. The Claiborne County Sheriff's Department and Mississippi Bureau of Investigation are also involved in the investigation. Lynching was a common form of 'mob justice' in the late 19th century, particularly in the south. A report by the Equal Justice Initiative claims there were nearly 4,000 lynchings of African Americans in the Jim Crow era across 12 states of the US.

Photographer Eric Lafforgue experienced life in the beautiful North Korean fishing village of Jung Pyong Ri, which is opening the doors for tourists to witness rural life . He stayed in a well-kept homestay, home of the Chief of the village. There are only 23 families in the area, which is so remote it is not located on a map .

So far 1,432 men have been eliminated from the enquiry and will receive emails or letters thanking them for providing their DNA. The village Ms Graves was murdered in - Bosham - is a favourite with ITV drama Midsomer Murders. In total, 2,042 men came forward to give samples of their DNA. Due to the volume of samples, eliminating those who have come forward can take up to two months. Detective Superintendent Nick May, of Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: 'We want to thank all those men who attended the voluntary sessions in Bosham, Fishbourne and Chichester over the three-weeks to give their DNA. 'The response has been positive. 'The process of elimination due to the volume of samples, can take up to two months, although this can sometimes be quicker and we have already given results to more than 1,200 men.

'We still need those men who have not come forward to do so.

'If we don't get a reply we will also be sending out further letters asking them to attend Chichester police station to give their DNA. 'We have to be tenacious in our efforts to catch the killer.

+{"article": "Louise Thomas, 43, from Cheam, was convinced she was suffering panic attacks . Panic attacks are extremely common, with one in ten of us thought to suffer from them at least occasionally. Louise Thomas - and her doctors - were convinced she was one of the millions affected. A panic attack typically causes a faster heartbeat, dizziness, nausea and an overwhelming sense of anxiety. Mother-of-two Louise had experienced such episodes regularly for seven years. 'In my early 30s, I started having episodes of feeling very nervous and anxious, with butterflies in my stomach and a feeling of being on edge,' says the 43-year-old. 'This could last all day. Sometimes, I wouldn't know where the last 30 seconds had gone and would feel confused, but still nervous and agitated, wondering what had just happened.' She was prescribed antidepressants and tried talking therapies, but nothing helped. That's because Louise, from Cheam, Surrey, wasn't suffering from panic attacks at all, but epileptic seizures. Her problems were neurological rather than psychological. And her story is not uncommon. As Paul Salkovskis, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Bath, explains, the symptoms of a panic attack can overlap with an epileptic seizure. 'It's not unusual for people with panic attacks to get an incorrect preliminary diagnosis of epilepsy, and occasionally, people with epilepsy get a misdiagnosis of panic attacks. If they see a specialist, it is usually clarified,' he says. Unfortunately, Louise didn't see a specialist for years. So how can the conditions be confused? Epilepsy, which affects more than 600,000 people in the UK, is characterised by recurrent seizures or sudden bursts of intense, abnormal electrical activity in the brain that disrupt the way it works. But there are many kinds of epileptic seizure. Dr Hannah Cock, consultant neurologist at St George's Hospital, London, and the University of London, says: 'The bit of the brain where the seizure starts and the path where the electrical discharge then spreads can vary enormously between individuals - which is why there are so many different ways people can experience an epileptic seizure.' One such example is with gelastic seizures - where patients may burst out laughing for no apparent reason, because the part of the brain involved in the seizure is also involved in laughter. Other seizures may involve a feeling of deja vu, which can make diagnosis difficult, since this is 'a normal phenomenon that we all sometimes experience', says Dr Cock, who is also clinical adviser to the charity Epilepsy Action. 'As the experience is so recurrent and frequent, it usually becomes clear that something else is going on,' she says. 'Or if the laughing attack is followed by losing consciousness and having a convulsion, diagnosis is easier.' Louise struggled to understand what was happening for seven years after her first episode . But a further complication is that seizures may cause someone to panic, adds Professor Salkovskis. 'It's perfectly possible that people with epilepsy will get panicky at the prospect of having a seizure. And in panic attacks, people hyperventilate, which can trigger an epileptic", "summary": "Louise Thomas, 43, from Cheam, thought she was suffering panic attacks .

Motorists face a new speed camera blitz and \u00a3100 fines as 20mph limits are imposed on some of Britain\u2019s busiest roads. Until now, lower speed limits have been restricted to smaller roads in residential areas or near schools. But in a major policy shift, 20mph limits are to be introduced on major arterial roads \u2013 and policed by the latest digital speed cameras. Campaigners say it is the start of a radical new nationwide attempt to slow traffic down. London Mayor Boris Johnson yesterday revealed that eight pilot schemes will be run on \u2018Red Routes\u2019 \u2013 the main arterial roads that carry a third of the capital\u2019s traffic. Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and many other towns and cities say they also intend to introduce the new limits. Motorists caught breaking the 20mph limit face a minimum \u00a3100 fine and three points on their driving licence. The AA says the new limits are being driven more by \u2018dogma\u2019 than road safety. A spokesman said: \u2018These 20mph zones are popping up like spring daffodils. \u2018There is a lot of fear among drivers that, with 20mph being a relatively unfamiliar speed, widespread speed camera use will make them look more at their speedometers than at what is happening on populated streets in front of them.\u2019 If the 18-month trials in London are judged a success, the 20mph limits will be made permanent and imposed on 30 miles of key \u2018Red Routes\u2019 considered by transport bosses to be \u2018more local road than motorway\u2019. Some 175 miles of residential streets, about a quarter of the capital\u2019s roads, already have 20mph limits. The trend is spreading across Britain. Following a pilot scheme, Bristol has spent more than \u00a32.3million installing 20mph signs. Manchester is consulting on half the city being similarly covered, and 6,000 Edinburgh residents have signed a petition against a \u00a32.2million scheme to make up to 80 per cent of the Scottish capital a 20mph zone. Alec James, of Sustrans \u2013 a charity campaigning for healthier and cheaper transport \u2013 said of the London announcement: \u2018This is a significant step up \u2013 and the next step on the road for more 20mph limits. Mayor of London Boris Johnson, pictured, wants to introduce new 20mph speed limits across the city . Upper Street in Islington, pictured, is also going to be hit by a 20mph limit as part of the 18-month trial . \u2018It\u2019s pioneering. For the first time 20mph limits are being imposed on main arterial roads \u2013 not just quiet residential roads where there is little traffic. We expect other cities to follow London\u2019s lead.\u2019 But the AA says while 20mph limits have their place, they should not be introduced where they will increase traffic jams and pollution \u2013 and where residents want them, not imposed in a \u2018blanket\u2019 fashion.

Armstrong popped up three minutes after half-time, firing home at the second attempt after Swiss goalkeeper Gregord Kobel blocked an initial one-on-one attempt. But Neil Dewsnip's team missed several good chances and the coach will hope they are more clinical when the two sides reconvene at Walsall's Banks's Stadium on Saturday. Newcastle United striker Adam Armstrong scored the winner as England's under 18s beat Switzerland . England coach Neil Dewsnip would be disappointed that England wasted a number of chances . It was a strong side that lined up at the England headquarters in Staffordshire, with Chelsea's Dominic Solanke, Liverpool's Sheyi Ojo and Everton's Ryan Ledson among the players on show. Dewsnip also handed international debuts to Sheffield United midfielder Louis Reed and Fulham goalkeeper Magnus Norman. And Norman was almost involved inside the first minute when Swiss forward Neftali Manzambi burst through, only to be denied by a last-ditch challenge by Manchester City's Tosin Adarabioyo. Gradually, England asserted themselves and Solanke, who trained with the first team the other day, was inches away from turning home a low Ojo cross. Ojo, the Liverpool prodigy currently out on loan at Wigan Athletic, was denied by Kobel shortly afterwards having been slipped clear by Solanke. The pressure was relentless and Reed, keen to make a positive impression, curled an effort just wide of the post after Southampton man Josh Sims and Armstrong combined to tee him up. Chelsea forward Dominic Solanke featured for England in their win at St George's Park . The busy Kobel was again tested in the dying seconds of the half, tipping Ojo's header over the crossbar following more good build-up work from Armstrong and Everton defender Jonjoe Kenny. After Armstrong finally made the breakthrough, England were able to relax a little but they continued to create chances at regular intervals. Ojo fired over the bar after more good work from the lively Armstrong and Kobel was called upon to deny Solanke, who made his Chelsea first-team debut earlier this season. Armstrong could have added a second after finding himself in an identical situation to his goal but on this occasion the goalkeeper saved. Tammy Abraham, who has featured in Chelsea's run to the FA Youth Cup final, came on for Solanke and nearly claimed his first England goal late on, only to fire inches wide.

The disruption is believed to have occurred during the same February 18 incident in which British RAF Typhoon fighters were scrambled to escort two Russian bear bombers identified flying close to British airspace. The move was seen as a show of strength by Russia amid tensions over the conflict in Ukraine, where Prime Minister David Cameron has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of challenging the territorial integrity of Kiev. A file picture showing a Russian bear bomber being escorted by an RAF jet. A commercial plane carrying hundreds of passengers was forced to divert after an incursion into Irish air space by two Kremlin aircraft . The Irish authority said the two Russian aircraft were flying with their transponders switched off - devices that help aircraft to be identified by air traffic control radars. The two Typhoons, armed with air-to-air missiles, were launched from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire after the Russian bombers were spotted at 6.30pm. They were escorted as they flew south, then turned around and flew north past the Irish coast. 'One aircraft's departure from Dublin was delayed due to the activity of the Russian military aircraft in UK-controlled airspace,' the IAA said in a statement. 'The routing of one en route aircraft was changed to ensure that its track was sufficiently separated from the track of the two Russian military aircraft,' it added. Footage released on Russian TV shows the moment two RAF jets escort the Russian bomber last month . Since January last year, there have been at least 17 shows of military strength by Russia near the UK. The most serious included: .

Sandrine Driessens, niece of 59-year-old Belgian father and grandfather Christian Driessens, said that the thought was 'very hard'. 'My uncle certainly knew that he was living his last moments and it's very hard to hear that the descent of the aircraft lasted eight minute,' she told La Provence newspaper. Scroll down for video . Loving: Christian Driessens, 59, pictured second from right, was a keen traveller. He was killed when the Germanwings A320 crashed in the Alps on Tuesday . Happy: Although Christian Driessens' niece said she was haunted by the idea that he knew he was going to die for eight minutes while the plane was descending, an aviation expert has said that it is more likely that the passengers and crew were calm and did not realise that they were in mortal danger . 'For eight long minutes, he was dying. This is atrocious! I dare not imagine the horror of parents who tried to protect their babies in this airplane.' But a veteran A320 pilot has said that the passengers would have been unlikely to know that they were going to die. If anything, he said, the plane would have been filled with 'eerie silence'.

'The aircraft descended at fairly normal rate, in a fairly normal way. It was steep, but I have used steeper descents on a regular basis. It was well within the everyday operation and not in any way terrifying.' It is likely the oxygen masks were released, he said, and if passengers did not put them on quickly enough they may have lost consciousness. There also may have been 'unpleasant noises and wind effects', which may have caused some alarm. But the plane was not 'tumbling out of the sky in a screaming dive'. 'The crew was probably sitting there waiting for the pilot to complete the descent,' he said. 'There was probably no indication to passengers of what the end was going to be. 'There may have been some panic when they saw the mountains coming up through the windows, but it would have been brief. 'Either way, in my experience, passengers tend to stay absolutely silent during an emergency. 'It's not a Hollywood panic, it's an eerie silence.'

The Australian half-back twice demonstrated exceptional pace to punish errors by the reigning champions to put the Robins on their way to a 24-22 win and leave Saints still looking for a first victory at Craven Park since 2008. Rovers, who claimed the scalp of Wigan last month, were good value for a third successive home win that rounded off a good day for the club after they earlier announced the notable acquisition of Jamie Peacock as football manager for 2016. Albert Kelly scored two sensational 90-metre solo tries . St Helens, who trailed 24-12 with with five minutes to go, could have snatched a point had former Hull KR co-captain Travis Burns been able to convert Jordan Turner's last-minute try but it would have been tough on the impressive Robins. Saints stay top of the table but they were a shadow of the side that beat Warrington a week earlier and coach Keiron Cunningham must now pick them up for their Good Friday derby at the DW Stadium. The champions were unfortunate to lose England hooker James Roby to injury but they made an ideal start when skipper Jon Wilkin, who began his professional career at Craven Park, re-gathered his own grubber kick to touch down and a goal from Burns made it 6-0 after just three minutes. It was all Saints for the opening quarter but Roby was held up over the line and Kelly twice punished their casual play to put his side in front. The former Gold Coast Titans scrum-half pounced on Wilkin's kick for his first long-range try and then picked off Burns' pass to outsprint the Saints cover for his second. Josh Mantellato converted both to put the Robins into a 12-6 lead but the champions were back level on 26 minutes when the ball was fed back from Wilkin's hoisted kick and Atelea Vea got Tom Makinson over at the corner. Burns landed the difficult conversion but Saints were forced to re-organise their team six minutes from half-time when Roby was forced from the field after taking a head knock. Lance Hohaia demonstrated his versatility by switching from full-back, where he began as third choice in the absence of Jonny Lomax and Paul Wellens, to hooker, with Makinson going to full-back. Rovers had a try disallowed when slow-motion replays indicated a knock-on by hooker Shaun Lunt after he re-gathered Terry Campese's kick but when St Helens winger Adam Swift again demonstrated his fallibility under the high ball his opposite number Ken Sio struck with the home side's third try two minutes before the break. The momentum was clearly with the Robins and Saints were forced to survive a torrid time in the third quarter. Mantellato was wide with a penalty attempt and then had a try disallowed after producing a flying finish at the corner only for slow-motion replays to reveal he was in touch. Kelly could have doubled his try tally following", "summary": "Albert Kelly scored two sensational 90-metre solo tries . Hull KR ended St Helens' 100 per cent record in Super League."}

The former French first lady may be forced to undergo psychiatric evaluation by the lawyers representing the right-wing politician she allegedly slapped after he asked her about Fran\u00e7ois Hollande. Val\u00e9rie Trierweiler 50, allegedly slapped junior politician Mohamed Rizki in a Paris caf\u00e9 last Thursday - and now his lawyers say they will seek to have a psychiatrist examine her to gauge her level of 'dangerousness.' Junior right wing politician Mohamed Rizki claims he had just asked after her former partner, President Hollande. He said: 'I simply asked her, \"how is Fran\u00e7ois?\" 'Honestly, it was a simple question, without a second thought.' Mr Rizki's lawyer branded her reaction as 'totally disproportionate', adding that given Ms Trierweiler's alleged previous assault on French finance minister's wife, 'we are entitled to question the state of her psychiatric health and her level of dangerousness'. Lawyer Emmanuel Marsigny told Le Parisien newspaper: 'As the legal system allows us to do in affairs of this nature, we are therefore going to request an expert psychiatric assessment to be carried out on Ms Trierweiler.' Ms Trierweiler, whose kiss-and-tell book about her relationship with the French president deeply embarrassed Mr Hollande, allegedly struck outside a caf\u00e9. Mr Rizki has insisted there was no sarcasm in his question but that the ex-first lady, who is nicknamed 'The Rottweiler,' reacted 'very aggressively' and demanded an apology. 'She was very, very hysterical. And then she slapped me before turning on her heels,' he told Le Parisien. The incident took place near her home in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, which she once shared with Mr Hollande. Mr Rizki, 33, made a formal complaint to police and has now demanded a public apology. In happier times: French President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande and Ms Trierweiler pictured when they were a couple . After news of the alleged slap was reported, Ms Trierweiler wrote on Twitter: 'Un seul mot #Stop\u00e0lamuflerie', which translates as 'One word #Stopboorishness'. Ms Trierweiler, a journalist, is notorious for her short temper and has been accused of being violent in the past. In September it was reported she slapped the ex-wife of Finance Minister Michel Sapin, after scratching her face and pulling her hair in a late night bar, the Telegraph reports. Her tell-all book, Thank You For This Moment: A Story Of Love, Power And Betrayal, depicts Mr Hollande as a deceitful, heartless hypocrite who mocks the poor and is set to be made into a film.

Joey Poindexter, 40, from Gaithersburg, was convicted of luring men to his home to abuse them before taking photographs while they were incapacitated. Poindexter was convicted of sexually assaulting five men earlier this year. Prosecutors, who originally believed there were only a few victims, now say that he preyed on dozens of young men for 10 years and have asked for a 200-year sentence. Joey Poindexter, 40, (pictured) was convicted of sexually assaulting five young men he met at bars during beer pong tournaments and lured to his home, though prosecutors say he abused at least 30 . The case against Poindexter (pictured) did not begin to build until 2013, when a student alleged the real estate appraiser sexually assaulted him after they met in a bar during a tournament for the popular drinking game . Prosecutors said after Poindexter, 'confirmed they were helpless, he violated them sexually in every way imaginable, and often recorded it as keepsake.' Poindexter's lawyer, who is new to the case, was granted a continuance after new evidence was presented during the sentencing process, according to CBS 12. It wasn't until 2013 that allegations first emerged, when a student claimed the real estate appraiser sexually assaulted him after they met in a bar during a tournament for the popular drinking game. The student didn't remember anything when he woke up in Poindexter's home the next morning and went to the police, who asked him to call the man and record the conversation, according to NBC Washington. Poindexter was reluctant to admit anything over the phone, telling the victim 'no matter what did or didn't happen, like I said, I was pretty trashed'. 'If it makes you feel any better, I don\u2019t have any [expletive] AIDS, if anything did happen.' But when Poindexter met with the victim, who was wearing a wire, he admitted they had sex while the student was intoxicated but said it was consensual. The student told police Poindexter had bought him beer, shots and a Long Island Ice Tea the night they met. Surveillance images (pictured) from the College Park pub showed the victim could barely stand while Poindexter led him out the door. His case has been given a continuance because of new evidence . Surveillance images from the College Park pub showed the victim could barely stand up as Poindexter led him out the door on the night of the assault, according to the Washington Post. And police found a video Poindexter had recorded that night of the two in his shower - which was later shown in court - on his phone. One anonymous juror said it 'seemed pretty clear' that Poindexter had been 'in a predatory state'. The college student's case was just the beginning. Police found pictures of a number of men 'in various states of consciousness' on Poindexter's cell phone.

Outspoken backbencher Simon Danczuk said the Labour leader was seen as more of a 'toff' than David Cameron because he was too 'aloof' from voters' everyday lives.

He said: 'I spend four hours knocking on doors on a Sunday \u2013 they [constituents] say things like 'you're doing an alright job as MP but I don't want Ed Miliband as Prime Minister, so I won't vote for you'.' Mr Danczuk's bombshell remarks come just 45 days before the general election \u2013 and less than two weeks before the official campaign kicks off. The Labour backbencher tore into Mr Miliband for failing to connect with voters outside London and lambasted his decision to apologise for posing with a copy of the Sun newspaper. He said the public couldn't understand the Labour leader's decision to pose for a picture holding the Sun \u2013 while also claiming he had been right to apologise after the image sparked fury on Merseyside. Mr Danczuk said: 'It's that sort of double speak from politicians: How could he be right on both counts? That turns people off politics. 'So when somebody hears a politician say that, you know what they think, if you pardon the language: 'What a f****** knob'. That's the reality of it.' Mr Danczuk also blasted Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman for the same 'double speak'. The Labour backbencher said Mr Miliband was harming his chances of re-election.

In the first incident in 2013 the couple's first baby, Rahul, ended up in the intensive care ward at a hospital in south-eastern India's Viluppuram District, in the Tamil Nadu State, after neighbours had heard him screaming, and rushed into the house from outside to discover the child on fire in his cot. His mother, who was working in the fields, took him to hospital and since then he has caught fire another three times, she claimed. Indian mother Rajeshwari Karnan claimed that her 10-day-old baby son (pictured) spontaneously combusted . Medics at the Government Kilpauk Hospital said that the boy had about 10 per cent burn damage to his feet . One of the first serious accounts of it appeared in the august journal Philosophical Transactions Of The Royal Society in 1745, which recorded how a 62-year-old Italian countess had gone to bed one night feeling \u2018dull and heavy\u2019. The next morning, all that was found in her bedroom was a pile of ash and her legs. Many other cases followed, and by 1806, one scientist thought he had the answer. In An Essay On The Combustion Of Humans, Pierre Lair suggested that the problem was the demon drink, and he subtitled his article, Products Of The Abuse Of Spirituous Liquors. The explanation that alcohol was to blame quickly caught on, especially among moralists who were against the hard stuff. In 1832, a popular Victorian magazine claimed all those who suddenly burst into flames were \u2018habitually drunken\u2019. The notion was so widespread that when Charles Dickens included an episode of spontaneous human combustion in his 1852 novel Bleak House, the victim \u2014 the villainous Mr Krook \u2014 was said to be \u2018continual in liquor\u2019. British research biologist Brian J. Ford argued in two articles, one of which appeared in the New Scientist, that spontaneous human combustion may be caused by a chemical called acetone that is produced naturally in the body, the chemical often used as a solvent in nail-varnish removers.

Everton endured a night of humiliation against Dynamo Kiev and tumbled out after a 5-2 defeat (6-4 on aggregate) in the Olympic Stadium.

This was a night comparable to how Everton folded against Dinamo Bucharest (2005) and Benfica (2009) when they also conceded five times. Everton's Ross Barkley and James McCarthy (right) look miserable during the painful defeat . It made Martinez's decision not to start John Stones puzzling but the Everton manager maintained there was only a slight difference between the two teams and it was Kiev's superior finishing that meant they reached the quarter-finals. 'We did make some defensive mistakes but also there was some incredible finishing and sometimes you have to highlight the quality of that,' said Martinez. 'It is only natural and normal from the outside to look back, and I do not regret playing Alcaraz - the defence has been strong in the last two games. Everton's Phil Jagielka, Tim Howard and Leighton Baines look dejected after Dynamo Kiev score their third . 'We conceded only one goal from a corner in the first leg and kept a clean sheet against Newcastle on Sunday, although we did not adapt too well to the pitch. 'But it is a case of the whole team not defending well enough. I do not think it is down to the personnel, but as a team. Dynamo built a lot of momentum with their crowd rather than us being to blame.'

A review of the six stations by the BBC Trust has raised concerns that they are failing ethnic minority audiences. Radio 2 was highlighted as having particular difficulties in attracting non-white listeners and the Trust has demanded the station urgently improve and report on progress in six months. The comments echo criticisms made in 2001 by then director-general Greg Dyke, who said the BBC was \u2018hideously white\u2019 and had race relations as poor as the Metropolitan Police. While yesterday\u2019s report accepts that the BBC has improved over recent years, it states that, \u2018like BBC television, BBC radio serves BAME audiences less well than it does white listeners.\u2019 Popular: Clara Amfo presents the Radio 1 chart show which attracts 23% of black, Asian and minority ethnic people aged 15 to 24 . BAME stands for black, Asian and minority ethnic. It pointed to statistics that show only 34 percent of BAME adults tune in to one of the six music radio stations - Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2, Radio 3, 6 Music and Asian Network \u2013 each week. This compares to 49 percent of all adults regardless of ethnicity. Although the BAME figure is up from 29 percent five years ago, the Trust said the BBC must still improve further. It is a problem also faced by BBC television, with the latest figures revealing it reached 74 percent of BAME adults each week, compared with 86 percent of all adults. Radio 2 has a target audience of the over 35s but even in among this group, it failed to attract ethnic minority listeners. It reaches an average of only 12 percent each week, compared to 35 percent for all adults. The Trust said: \u2018As Radio 2 has a remit to serve a broad audience over the age of 35, it should address this disparity.\u2019 In the Trust\u2019s previous review of music radio, Radio 1 was flagged up as of particular concern, reaching only 17 percent of BAME people aged between 15 and 24. Struggling: BBC Radio 2, which has presenters Chris Evans (left) and Jeremy Vine (right), was highlighted as having particular difficulties in attracting non-white listeners by its own watchdog .

A New York City man has been sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for killing his 5-year-old son and sickening his 7-year-old daughter with pizza spiked with rat poison because he was angry with his ex-wife. After learning that his former spouse was seeing another man, Leonardo Espinal, 49, took it out on their children in November 2012 by tainting their meal with a deadly poison, Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson said Thursday after the sentencing. The little girl, Mia, threw up after eating the pizza. When her brother, Steward, soiled himself, their father took him into the bathroom. He then called Rosaura Abreu and threatened to commit suicide telling her, 'what is about to happen is your fault.'

Capital New York reported that NBC Universal employees are planning to march with a banner for Out@NBCUniversal. The group's Twitter page describes itself as 'the employee resource group of LGBT & Straight Ally employees at NBCUniversal.' De Blasio arrived about 15 minutes late to the St. Pats for All parade, sporting a lavender shirt and green tie. Despite the snow and cold he said, 'It's a sunny day in my world.' 'You are a hardy troupe,' he told people gathered for the parade. 'You are here to celebrate no matter what. That is what pride is all about - pride in the fact that in New York City you can be whoever you are.' The mayor said on Sunday: 'A society for everyone is a society where everyone is respected, where everyone is embraced, where everyone has a say at the table.' In the past, gays were free to march in the world's biggest and oldest St. Patrick's Day Parade but not with banners saying they're LGBT. Most marching units in the parade carry identifying banners. There are about 320 units in this year's parade, the parade committee said. The New York Daily News quoted the mayor as saying of the March 17 event 'I'm not ready to commit to marching, because all we've heard is that one delegation related to NBC will be allowed to have members of the LGBT community in it.' Gathering: de Blasio looks on during the snowstorm at the St. Pat's For All parade. The parade, which embraces diversity, is considered an alternative to New York City's official St. Patrick's Day parade . Per Capital New York, de Blasio said 'Having only one delegation associated with one company that allows members of the LGBT community is obviously a pretty narrow concession, and I think we'd like to see something that's more inclusive. 'Here is an example of a parade that's inclusive of all - it celebrates Irish heritage", "summary": "New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio attended the St. Pat's for All parade in Sunnyside, Queens on Sunday .

A 13-year-old boy was found carrying a .357 Smith & Wesson firearm (similar to the one above), another knife, ammunition, a mask and fireworks in his backpack at a Florida school .

'The council decided to cease all forms of security coordination with Israel,' a PLO official said. Decision: It is not clear if Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will implement today's resolution by the PLO's Central Council . A statement issued by the 110-member PCC read: 'Security coordination in all its forms with the authority of the Israeli occupation will be stopped in the light of its (Israel's) non-compliance with the agreements signed between the two sides.' It said Israel 'should shoulder all its responsibilities towards the Palestinian people in the occupied state of Palestine as an occupation authority according to international law'. The decision is certain to provoke Israel, which sees security coordination as vital to maintain calm in the West Bank. Palestinian security forces also require Israeli permission to send patrols into some areas of the West Bank to preserve law and order. It is not clear if Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will implement the resolution by the PCC. Set up under the 1993 Oslo autonomy accords which founded the Palestinian Authority, the coordination involves the sharing of intelligence and is considered crucial for Israel to keep tabs on Islamist movement Hamas and its West Bank members.

Instead of using traditional equipment, Joy McClymont uses things lying around her 32,000-hectare farm to train her clients by using irrigation pipes as weights, swing truck springs in place of kettle bells, tyres to do push ups and the dam to run laps around. Then passes on her tips and tricks to her fitness program clients. Mother-of-four Joy McClymont lives out in Queensland's central west and started Off The Track Training . This is helping producers in Ms McClymont's region get their minds of the crippling drought which has gripped more than 70 per cent of Queensland. The former triathlete, who lives 100km from Longreach in the state's central west, told Woman's Day three-quarters of her clients were suffering from the dry conditions. She said the process of getting and keeping fit had been therapeutic. 'I tell them [my clients] their fitness is the one thing they can actually control and exercise will change the way they face the day. It tricks you - you feel like you're 10 kilograms lighter and bulletproof,' Ms McClymont said. 'For me, this has been sanity saving.'

She now has four children aged from one to six years old. The former ironwoman qualifier found it was extremely difficult for her to get back on the horse after her pregnancy because of the remoteness of her home. 'I just wanted to do something to make it easier for people to look after their health and do something for themselves in tough times, especially when there's a drought,' Ms McClymont told Daily Mail Australia. 'It also makes it easier for them to manage their stress when their health is better.' That's when she started up Off The Track Training, which gives people living in rural areas access to all the benefits of a metropolitan personal trainer.

The average bonus for New York City's security industry rose to $172,860 in 2014, the highest level since the financial crisis, said a report by the office of the New York State Comptroller. The loftier bonuses came despite a 4.5 percent drop in broker/dealer profits in 2014 to $16 billion, the report said. Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday. The average Wall Street bonus rose two percent in 2014 as hiring in city's financial sector picked up according to a government report . The decline in profits was due to weakness in some trading divisions, costly legal settlements at large banks and higher capital reserve requirements imposed by regulators after the financial crisis. The industry added 2,300 jobs in New York City in 2014, the first year of positive job growth in the sector since 2011. 'The cost of legal settlements related to the 2008 financial crisis continues to be a drag on Wall Street profits, but the securities industry remains profitable and well-compensated even as it adjusts to regulatory changes,' said New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. 'The resumption of job growth in the securities industry bodes well for New York's economy, but it remains to be seen whether this trend will be sustained.' 'One area that anecdotally we keep hearing is a growth sector is compliance,' DiNapoli said. The average increase in bonuses in 2014 was well below the rise notched in the previous two years. Average bonuses fell from a peak of $191,360 on average in 2006 to $100,850 in 2008 during the financial crisis. Average bonuses had fallen from a peak of $191,360 in 2006 to $100,850 in 2008 during the financial crisis . The average salary including bonuses on Wall Street was $355,500 in 2013, according to an October report from the comptroller's office. 'The compensation is five times the average for private employment in the city,' DiNapoli said. 'But it's a challenging work environment, and in recent years because of the downsizing it's been harder to get these positions.' Authorities have blamed inflated mortgage-backed securities that plummeted along with the U.S. housing market for the financial crisis in 2008. Regulatory reforms since have included larger reserve requirements, new limits on proprietary trading and measures intended to reduce risk. Securities firms now pay a smaller share of bonuses in the current year with more deferred. DiNapoli added that it's important to be concerned about excessive risk-taking and possible regulatory rollbacks to be sure there isn't another meltdown, noting the industry is key to the economic viability of the city and state. The goal should be a business model with sustainable profits, he said, not the short-term, high-risk, high-reward profits 'that invariably results in the periodic downturn or crash as we had.'", "summary": "Bonuses for New York City's security industry rose on average by two percent in 2014 .

+{"article": "Tuberculosis has spread through a Kansas high school after a single case of the disease was discovered. Some 27 people have tested positive for latent TB infection at the school in eastern Kansas. State and county health officials made the announcement on Wednesday after tests were conducted on more than 300 Olathe Northwest High students and staff who came into contact with a student with TB disease. Officials called people who tested positive on Monday and those with no sign of infection were to receive letters in the mail. One student with TB at Olathe Northwest High School has led to 27 cases of the infection in eastern Kansas among fellow students and staff . According to the Johnson County Department of Heath and Environment, those with TB infection were not contagious, do not feel sick and do not have symptoms. People with TB disease can spread the bacteria to others, feel sick and have symptoms including fever, night sweats, cough and weight loss. Causes: Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through the air, when someone infected coughs, sneezes, laughs or sings. A person who breathes in the bacteria can become infected. Symptoms: General symptoms may include feeling weak or sick, weight loss, fever and/or night sweats. Symptoms of TB of the lungs may include coughing, chest pain and/or coughing up blood. Treatment: More than 13,000 cases are reported in the U.S. each year. There are also an estimated 10 to 15 million people in the U.S. who are infected with the TB germ, with potential to develop TB disease in the future. If a person gets a TB skin test and it comes back positive, they must take a variety of antibiotics daily for as long as six months. Director of the health department, Lougene Marsh, said: 'The number of individuals with TB infection does not exceed what we would anticipate in this setting.' Tuberculosis can be spread by coughing and sneezing. People with the disease were most likely to spread it to others with whom they have prolonged contact. According to the CDC, TB is caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium tuberculosis which attacks the lungs but can also infect the kidneys, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, the disease can be fatal. The Department of Heath and Environment said those who tested positive for TB will have a chest x-ray and begin a course of antibiotics to kill the TB bacteria. In May, those who were in the same class as the student with TB disease will be given another round of blood tests as it can sometimes take eight weeks for the bacteria to show itself. A total of 9,582 TB disease cases were reported in the U.S. in 2013 - compared to 84,304 cases when the CDC began records in 1953.

The unidentified man, who was 23, was said to have harassed the girl for several months. It is believed he sent pictures to her via Whatsapp and arranged to meet her in the state of Goias, Brazil. Scroll down for video . The father of an 11-year-old girl who was allegedly the victim of online grooming filmed himself beating the man responsible before killing him in a gory video . But he had not realised he had actually been talking to the young girl's father. When he arrived for the supposed meeting, the man badly beat him and filmed it before killing him. A gory video of the attack has been posted online by the girl's father, as a 'warning that those who do wrong, have to pay for it', he said. In it the man can be seen bleeding heavily from a gaping wound around his mouth. In the video an angry exchange can be heard, with the alleged attacker swearing that he will never again try to contact the young girl. He can barely speak as he begs for mercy and appears to be being held up by the neck by the older man. Asked by the girl's father the man, with a swollen lip and face, pleads in Portuguese: 'Never again, never again, never again.' The father is said to reply: 'You will learn from this beating that you will now take you b*****d.' The camera is then taken off the alleged predator's face. He is heard screaming before it cuts out. It comes days after an angry Indian mob broke into a Dimapur prison to kidnap alleged rapist Syed Faird Khan. He was stripped naked and paraded through the streets before being hung by a clock tower . Khan's brother, Syed Jamal Khan, said he was innocent and accused police of trying to falsely implicated him of rape .

On the Indian frontline in 1869, Elizabeth Webber Harris risked her life to nurse soldiers hit by a deadly cholera outbreak back to health. As the only woman serving alongside the Bengal Fusiliers in Peshawar, she saved more lives with her \u2018tender consolations\u2019 than a surgeon did with his medicines. Her bravery and selfless devotion earned her an honorary Victoria Cross \u2013 making her the only woman to ever be \u2018awarded\u2019 the highest military honour in Britain.

And as no woman has been awarded the honour since 1921, Mrs Harris\u2019s unofficial medal makes her the only female recipient. The remarkable story of her life emerged in detail for the first time yesterday, as her gold medal is set to go on display at the Imperial War Museum in London next month. Speaking about her heroic efforts, Lord Ashcroft, who owns the medal, said: \u2018Elizabeth Webber Harris was a remarkable woman who risked her own life to save others with her selfless devotion in nursing the sick. \u2018She was both courageous and inspirational in the manner in which she dealt with a cholera outbreak in India in 1869.\u2019 He added that the officers of the 104th Bengal Fusiliers, who presented her with the replica, \u2018summed it up perfectly when they said the award was for her \u201cindomitable pluck\u201d\u2019. Born in Kent in 1834, she married Webber Harris, a captain in the 2nd Bengal Fusiliers \u2013 later renamed the 104th \u2013 in 1859. Women were ineligible for the Victoria Cross until 1921, but Queen Victoria gave permission for a gold replica to be made for Mrs Harris to reward her for her \u2018indomitable pluck' In October 1868, the newly-promoted Major General Harris took the 104th to Peshawar, having anticipated trouble on India\u2019s north-west frontier. However, in 1869 cholera swept India and by August the soldiers were infected. On September 17 part of the regiment went to a temporary camp in the countryside, with the remaining soldiers joining them five days later. By then, many soldiers and their families had already died from the disease and Mrs Harris was the only woman to go with them. In her mid-30s at the time, she spent three months nursing the sick and keeping up their spirits, moving through the baking Indian countryside to take care of the regiment as they moved stations. Mrs Harris (gravestone pictured) spent three months nursing soldiers with cholera and keeping up an Army regiment's spirits . Even with her own life in danger, Mrs Harris did not stop her efforts to help the men beat the disease.

A sickening collection of pictures of children as young as five being sexually abused was discovered when police raided the home of Mike Davies, in Llantrisant, South Wales, last June. But the 52-year-old failed to tell his then-employers, Cardiff City Council, about the criminal investigation and continued in his post until it was 'deleted' as part of budget savings this year.

+{"article": "The U.S. Justice Department has concluded that the Ferguson, Missouri, police department routinely engages in racially biased practices, a law enforcement official familiar with the department's findings said on Tuesday. The investigation into the police department began in August after the shooting of unarmed African-American teen Michael Brown by a white police officer in Ferguson sparked national protests. Analysis of more than 35,000 pages of police records found racist comments from officers as well as statistics that showed African-Americans make up 93 percent of arrests while accounting for only 67 percent of the population in Ferguson, the official said. Scroll down for video . A Justice Department investigation has found patterns of racial bias in the Ferguson police department and at the municipal jail and court. The full report will be publicly released March 4 . African-Americans also made up most of incidents in which officers used force and all incidents where police dogs bit citizens, said the official, who asked not to be named because of the sensitive nature of the investigation. Nationwide protests of police actions that resulted in deaths of African Americans in Ferguson, New York and Cleveland laid bare racial tensions and what President BarackObama called 'simmering distrust' between police and communities. The scathing report will show that 88 per cent of people against whom police used excessive force were African-Americans, and victims of the 14 dog bites recorded by the department all were black. Justice Department staff interviewed hundreds of average citizens as part of the six-month probe, concluding that a large portion of Ferguson's population mistrusts the local police force and considers it illegitimate .

Black offenders are also less likely to have their cases dismissed by a municipal judge and they are more likely to be taken into custody on outstanding warrants during traffic stops, compared to their white counterparts. Ferguson's black residents are also more likely than others to be charged with relatively minor offenses like 'manner of walking in roadway' or 'failure to comply. The findings are expected to be formally released as early as Wednesday, a Justice Department spokeswoman said. The department will use the findings to negotiate policy changes with Ferguson officials and enter a consent decree, or to sue the city to force change. Previous federal investigations into police departments have resulted in such changes as reporting arrest data to the Justice Department and installing federal monitors to oversee operations. Justice Department officials found from 2012 to 2014 that black motorists in Ferguson, Missouri, were more than twice as likely as whites to be searched in traffic stops, even though they were 26 per cent less likely to be found carrying contraband.

Brighton goalkeeper David Stockdale must take an element of blame. His pass out to Rohan Ince was easily cut out and after advancing unchallenged Mackie pulled the trigger from the edge of the area.

+{"article": "The full extent of the impact of good schools on house prices around England is laid bare by research released today. A map produced by Savills estate agents shows the cost of homes near the best performing schools can be more than 25% higher than in other areas. Each dot on the map represents a school, with the darker coloured dots representing better performing schools and the size of the dot showing the 'house price premium' around that school. Scroll down for video . The fact that the darker dots are often the largest in each area shows just how much parents are willing to pay to live near a good school. Savills say the map shows that certain areas can be classed as 'educational hotspots', in which a choice of good schools leads to a spike in property prices. The company say the best examples of these are Northwood in Middlesex, Brighton in West Sussex, Shrewsbury in Shropshire and Ascot in Berkshire. The map also shows how selective grammar schools, such those in Kent and Buckinghamshire, drive up house prices in the surrounding area. Lucian Cook, director of residential research at Savills, said: 'What it shows is there are clear house price premiums around high performing state schools. These are not uniform, there are exceptions where people can still get access to a well-performing school, but generally, there is a premium. 'That said, I suppose there is a bit of a chicken and an egg situation of where you have to ask whether affluent families cluster around a high performing school, or are schools high performing because of the families who live nearby.' A graph produced by estate agents shows that house prices are higher than the regional average in places where pupils perform well at school . The report states: 'For many [house buyers], rather than pinning their hope on a single school, a choice of good schools will determine whether they will look to buy. 'In locations such as Northwood, Brighton, Shrewsbury and Ascot that will be driven entirely by a cluster of high performing independent schools. 'In others such as Dorking, Malvern, Borehamwood, Warwick, Oxford and Guildford these will be supplemented by one or two high performing state school alternatives. 'In other areas, such as Wallington, Altrincham, Orpington it might be exclusively a function of the grammar school system. 'In others, such as Bath Winchester, York, Colchester, Tunbridge Wells, Chelmsford and Cambridge the a network of a range of high performing schools underpins a high value family housing market.' The research comes after a study last year found a top state secondary adds an average of \u00a321,000 to surrounding house prices - with one school in Buckinghamshire adding nearly \u00a3500,000 to the price of nearby homes.

The unidentified girl reportedly lives in the countryside of north Vietnam. She had raised a dog 'Flower' for three years and was deeply saddened when her beloved pet went missing mysteriously. Devastated: The little girl, who is believed to be living in northern Vietnam, finds her beloved pet 'Flower' already cooked outside a dog meat stall. She has searched for the dog for a few days after it went missing mysteriously . She had spent great effort searching for 'Flower', but to no avail. A few days later, when the child passed by a local dog meat stall, she instantly recognised a dog lying on the street - and already cooked. 'That's Flower,' cried the girl while rushing over to the dog. The picture broke the heart of hundreds of thousands on the internet. Many agreed that the tragedy is too much for a five-year-old to take and have appealed for a ban on the consumption of dog meat. Dog meat is treated as a delicacy in several Asian countries, including Korea, Vietnam and China. A documentary made by Channel 4 last autumn revealed that seven tonnes of live dogs are shipped to the nation's capital Hanoi every day with one slaughter house owner saying he killed up to 30 dogs a day.

And the number of sufferers is set to soar by 55 per cent in the next two decades unless the human population drastically changes the way it eats and exercises. The study by researchers at the University of East Anglia estimates that 382million people had diabetes in 2013. At current rates, that figure is expected to reach 592million by 2035. Around 10 per cent of sufferers have type 1 diabetes \u2013 an auto-immune disorder that is usually present from childhood. But the other 90 per cent have type 2 diabetes \u2013 an illness driven by a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet. The chronic illness is a particular problem in fast-developing countries. In China and India, almost 10 per cent of adults have diabetes, compared with the global average of 8.3 per cent, reveals the study published in the journal Pharmaco Economics. In Britain, around 3.2million people have diabetes. Lead researcher Till Seuring said: \u2018Diabetes has become an epidemic. \u2018The rising prevalence of diabetes in these countries has been fuelled by rapid urbanization, changing eating habits, and increasingly sedentary lifestyles. \u2018Diabetes affects 382 million people worldwide, and that number is expected to grow to 592 million by 2035. \u2018It is a chronic disease that has spread widely in recent decades - not only in high-income countries, but also in many populous low and middle-income countries such as India and China.\u2019 He added: \u2018We would hope that the findings further increase the policy attention being paid to diabetes prevention and management in rich countries and it should in particular make health and economic policymakers in developing countries aware of the economic damage that diabetes can do.\u2019 The study, published in the journal Pharmaco Economics, cited data from the International Diabetes Federation estimating that 8.3 per cent of adults aged 20 to 79 now suffer from diabetes. In China and India the number is closer to 10 per cent, with 165million diabetics living in those two nations alone. Mr Seuring and his colleagues analysed the impact on increasing number of diabetics on the economies of 20 countries. They found that increased healthcare costs and reduced workforce productivity could severely dent economic growth. A woman adjust a device which delivers insulin to her body.

She explains how she found herself pregnant in January 2013, when 25 provinces and cities in China were blanketed by heavy smog. She then gave birth in October 2013, when her daughter had already been diagnosed with a benign tumour. The diagnosis led to Ms Chai quitting her job at the beginning of last year so she could focus on taking care of her daughter.

The midfielder is alleged to have used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour in the tunnel after Saturday's 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Aston Villa. Referee Anthony Taylor sent off Albion's Claudio Yacob and Villa's Jack Grealish during the game, which saw Villa progress through to the semi-finals where they will play Blackburn or Liverpool. Chris Brunt (right), pictured disputing a decision with Anthony Taylor, has been hit with an FA charge . Aston Villa fans celebrated by racing on to the pitch following their 2-0 victory over West Brom at Villa Park . Baggies boss Tony Pulis steered well clear of getting involved at Thursday's press conference ahead of their game against Stoke. 'That's with Richard (Garlick, director of football administration) and the powers that be,' he said. 'That's in the if, buts and maybes for Saturday. 'We don't know if he'll be charged or if he's banned. We're not sure yet, they're still talking.'

Pulis remained detached from all disciplinary issues on Thursday, ranging from Brunt's case to the crowd trouble and whether his winger Callum McManaman was struck in the tunnel after the game. 'That's ongoing and it's something I'm not involved in,' he said about the disturbing scenes. 'That's down to the powers-that-be who are above me. It's up to them to sort that out and we'll see where that takes us. But at the moment I don't think there's any comment from ourselves or the FA.' Police and the FA are investigating the behaviour of both club's after the unruly scenes in which some West Brom players are also alleged to have tried to trip Villa fans . Tony Pulis has called for supporters to behave themselves, or be punished properly . Pulis did, however, reiterate the need for common sense from supporters. 'You want derbies to be passionate and committed but there are certain levels, certain rules, that we should all stay and work within,' he said. 'If people have broken those rules then they should be punished and punished properly, because you can't have a situation like we've had 20 or 30 years back where it's just chaos. We've moved on as a country from that and we have to make sure we don't allow it to come back in.' As for possible lifetime bans for supporters, Pulis said: 'That's down to the club.'", "summary": "Brunt faces a charge of using insulting words in the tunnel after West Brom's defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup .

There has been an increasingly familiar pattern to his addresses in the aftermath of every one of his team\u2019s four defeats in this Six Nations campaign so far. He has talked of the positives to take from each loss while trying his best to put the bravest of faces on matters. As he sat at BT Murrayfield on Tuesday following a tough training session with his international colleagues, his mask didn\u2019t slip one bit as he went through the same old routine. Greig Laidlaw in action during the Six Nations rugby match between France and Scotland at Stade de France . But behind the forced smile it was clear there is a new fear engulfing him which makes the final Six Nations match against Ireland on Saturday an increasingly nervous prospect. The scrum-half with 38 caps to his name doesn\u2019t want to join Chris Paterson and Ross Ford in the record books as a captain who led Scotland to a Six Nations wooden spoon. Paterson did it twice, in 2004 and 2007, with Ford suffering a similar fate in 2012. Since Five Nations became Six, Italy have been bottom of the pile 10 times with Wales and France finishing last once each. England and Ireland have never picked up the wooden spoon. Laidlaw, who played stand-off rather than scrum-half in the side that was whitewashed under Ford, doesn\u2019t want to experience that feeling again. He is hoping his team-mates feel as embarrassed as he is about the current plight and use the fear of failure as motivation to put things right against the Irish. \u2018I don\u2019t know if it hurts me as captain more than the other players, but losing all our games so far certainly hurts me a lot, that\u2019s for sure,\u2019 said the 29-year-old. \u2018I like to think avoiding the wooden spoon is a big driving factor whether you are captain or not, as nobody wants to be in the team that\u2019s failed to pick up any wins. \u2018Remember, though, we haven\u2019t finished bottom yet and we\u2019ve got an opportunity this weekend to finish on a high. If we can win this one, it allows us to give a big sigh of relief going into the pre-World Cup games over the summer and then build towards the World Cup. Laidlaw leaves the field after the second half of the the RBS Six Nations match between against Italy . \u2018The other side of the coin is that if we lose this one, it\u2019s a long time before we play for Scotland again and that\u2019s the worst situation to be in. At least we have a week to try to rectify some of the problems that were there against England and give everybody the boost they want by turning things around against Ireland.\u2019 Laidlaw admitted he has been left totally frustrated at how his side had come up short in all their matches and fallen away badly in the second half of key games.", "summary": "Greig Laidlaw doesn\u2019t want to join Chris Paterson and Ross Ford .

Power: ISIS militants (pictured) are 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, experts have concluded . The report, by Brookings academic JM Berger and technologist Jonathon Morgan, says: 'While we do not believe that any mainstream social media platform wishes to see its services used to further acts of horrific violence, we also suspect some would rather not be bothered with the challenge of crafting a broad and coherent response to the issue. 'While we can sympathise with the challenges and dilemmas such a response would entail, it is clear that social media companies do feel an obligation to respond to some social standards and illegal uses of their services.

+{"article": "A prominent GOP fundraiser and her family accused of setting their mansion alight in a $20 million fraud scheme have headed to court - just three weeks after her husband took his life. The week-long preliminary hearing underway in Bucks County, Pennsylvania will determine whether Claire Risoldi, her two adult children, her daughter-in-law and two others will face trial. Risoldi's husband, Thomas French, was also charged with his relatives in January but he took his life in February and left behind a note saying he couldn't handle the stress of being falsely accused. An investigation into the family's claims began after a 2013 fire at the stately home in Doylestown. It was the third blaze in five years at the property, which the Risoldis dubbed Clairemont. Accused: Claire Risoldi, left, is in court for a preliminary hearing into accusations that she fraudulently claimed $20 million in insurance payouts. Her husband Thomas French, right, took his life last month . After the fires, the family allegedly lived large on trumped-up insurance claims and attempted to intimidate witnesses when they learned that investigations into the payouts were underway. On Tuesday, friend Tina Mazaheri, a lawyer, told the court that Risoldi visited her to ask what she would tell a grand jury if she was questioned about the fires, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. When Mazaheri said lying would violate her professional duty, Risoldi erupted in anger and shouted at the woman, Mazaheri told the court. Also on Tuesday, a jewelry expert was called to testify against the family as prosecutors intended to show Risoldi claimed losses for jewelry that later turned up in her bank deposit box. Risoldi had falsely accused volunteer firefighters of stealing 55 pieces of jewelry worth more than $10 million while battling the flames, according to a grand jury presentment earlier this year. Family ties: Risoldi's son, Carl A. Risoldi, 43, a public relations and marketing specialist, and his wife, Sheila M. Risoldi, have been charged with multiple offenses, including theft by deception . Accused: Clarie's daughter Carla Risoldi, a former Bucks County prosecutor and now a private attorney, and private investigator Mark Goldman, 54, have also been charged on multiple counts . Scene: An image taken last month shows the family's mansion, which suffered three suspicious fires in five years. Prosecutors said the family lived large on trumped-up insurance claims following the fires . The collection had included two items valued at $106,000 only four months earlier, officials said. Authorities said they uncovered a decades-long pattern of questionable insurance claims by Risoldi. She still possessed jewelry she reported stolen in 1993, according to investigators, and had reported another jewelry theft from a different home in 1984 and a house fire in 1977. The family appeared in court sitting behind their lawyers on Tuesday but declined to comment. Risoldi's son, Carl A. Risoldi, 43, and his wife, Sheila M.

A new BBC2 television series has challenged one British family to dine through the decades, lifting the cooking pot lid on how eating habits for UK households have changed dramatically since World War II. For two-and-a-half months last summer, the Robshaw family rolled back the years to find out exactly how they would have eaten as a family living in each of the post-war decades in the 20th century. The results, to be screened later this month on BBC2's Back in Time for Dinner programme, were fascinating - if not occasionally stomach churning. Stepping into a different dining room for each decade, the Robshaws - dad Brandon, mum Rochelle and children Miranda, 17; Rosalind, 15 and Fred 10 - lived through how menus have changed. Writing in The Independent, Brandon said the family's normal, 21st century diet was a 'fusion of the functional and the foodie' with easy-to-cook recipes dominating week days and more 'ambitious' dishes being tried at the weekend. Bread and dripping for breakfast, cow-heel pie for dinner... The Robshaw family took on a brave culinary challenge to eat as a family would have in every decade from the 1950s to the 1990s. Pictured, from left to right, Rosalind, 15, mum Rochelle, Fred, 10, dad Brandon and Miranda, 17, in the 1950s episode . Forty years later, the Robshaws found themselves eating in the Nineties, sampling such delights as homemade pasta. 'Within living memory, the way we eat has been utterly transformed, not once but several times, and is still changing,' remarked Brandon . Like most modern kids, Miranda, Rosalind and Fred are in possession of a wide-ranging palate and enjoyed dishes from a global menu, says their dad. So, what was their reaction when they were plunged into the immediate post-war period, when rationing dominated the diets of the early 1950s? Brandon says the family felt 'hungry' all of the time with ten-year-old Fred finding it particularly hard to sate his sweet tooth without the biscuits and snacks that are readily available today. Faced with an 'of-the-time' dining room for each decade; the 1960s kitchen had 'luminous sky-blue walls' and 'radioactive yellow walls', while the 1970s saw a move towards open-plan dining, something which made the kitchen much more of a social hub for families.

A former high-flying City banker who said his reputation was destroyed when he was listed as a 'most wanted' rapist has won almost \u00a370,000 in damages from police. Anthony Crook, 37, from Clacton, Essex, was working in Dubai when his image was wrongly released by Essex Police as one of their 'ten most wanted' in 2010. He claimed the worldwide coverage left him 'unemployable' and said the stress led to him drinking heavily and having suicidal thoughts. Mr Crook sued the force and in a hearing at the High Court today, Judge Deborah Taylor said the release of his name and image was a breach of his human rights. 'His details were published to the world at large,' she told the court. 'Whilst the press release was to local media, no consideration was given to the realities of modern technology: firstly, the potential for information to spread across the internet, and secondly, the difficulty once spread in eradicating that. 'The police lost control of the data. It was not on posters they could take down and photographs they could take from shopkeepers.' The court heard Mr Crook had been warned by a friend that a 'malicious' complaint might be made against him and had called Essex Police. But he was told by officers that no such allegation had been received and thought that was the end of the matter, he said. He only found out about the article - alleging he was wanted and at large over an alleged rape in Clacton - through his family. The article was accompanied by his address from his City days in Clapham and a photo which had been taken when he was a dreadlocked teenager. Mr Crook said the allegation was 'malicious' and there was no need to publicise it, as he had already offered to speak to police to clear it up. The result was that he was left 'unemployed and unemployable', his lawyers told the High Court. 'There was a level of shock and embarrassment. You are defined by the career you have,' he told Judge Deborah Taylor. 'I was financially in a very good place and that's completely wiped out overnight. 'It's an allegation of a sexual assault. There's a stigma attached to that which stays with you forever. 'The fact they didn't remove these things for such a long period of time made it impossible to get back into work and rebuild my life.'

+{"article": "Drought caused by climate change may pushed Syria towards the devastating civil war currently riping the country apart, according to researchers. A new study has found that many parts of the country were hit by a record dry period between 2006 and 2010 which may have propelled the uprising against the Syrian regime in 2011. The drought, which scientists say was likely made worse by climate change, destroyed much of the agriculture in the north of the country, driving farmers into cities. This image taken in Syria in 2009 shows how drought left farmers unable to grow crops on the parched land . The resulting rising urban populations combined with poverty, government mismanagement and other factors combined to trigger the unrest that led to the civil war. The conflict hjas since escalated into a complex war involving extremist Islamic groups including ISIS and forces from other nations including the US. The brutal civil war in Syria has left a trail of destruction so deep on the landscape that it can be seen from space. Researchers at the American Association for the Advancement of Science analyzed high-resolution satellite images of Aleppo taken from August 2012 to May 2013. They noticed a dramatic increase in the damage to buildings and infrastructure over the 10-month period, with almost all of the destruction concentrated in rebel-controlled or contested areas. They also found that the historic 13th century walled ancient city of Aleppo - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - has also suffered extensive damage from the war. Satellite images have also shown how the proliferation of roadblocks and build up of artillery and tanks have increased. In separate satellite images released by Amnesty International in 2012, there were more than 600 craters caused by artillery fire in the small town of Anadan, four miles from second city Aleppo. An estimated 200,000 people have now been killed and an estimated nine million Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of the war. Dr Richard Seager, a climate scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University in New York, said: 'We're not saying the drought caused the war. 'We\u2019re saying that added to all the other stressors, it helped kick things over the threshold into open conflict. 'A drought of that severity was made much more likely by the ongoing human-driven drying of that region.' The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, said that the 2006-2010 drought was the worst and longest on record compared to those in the 1950s, 1980s and 1990s. Particularly hard hit was the Fertile Crescent that spans Syria, Turkey and Iraq. Since 1900 the area has undergone warming of between 1 degree C and 1.2 degrees C and rainfall in the wet season has fallen by 10 per cent. The researchers said the trend matched that predicted by models of climate change caused by human carbon dioxide emissions. They said that the wind patterns bringing rain from the Mediterranean weakened while higher temperatures caused greater evaporation of moisture from the soils during the summer.

Around 1,000 more GPs are urgently needed in England, according to new figures released by the House of Commons library. It is thought that nearly 1,500 doctors - who cost the taxpayer up to \u00a3610,000 to train - move to Australia every year. To bridge the gap they have been offered a place on a 'fully funded' programme, which they can choose to be either full or part time, if they return. Around 1,000 more GPs are needed in England. An advert has been placed in two medical magazines asking doctors in Australia to come home to bridge the gap (stock picture) An advert was placed in the Australian Doctor and the Medical Observer by NHS England's Shropshire and Staffordshire area team and Health Education Midlands earlier this month. It said: 'This scheme will help you rediscover and enhance the skills you need to return, or start to practise in the UK. 'It's fully funded, so you will be supported whilst you complete the programme.' The NHS has simultaneously announced a \u00a310million strategy to further tempt graduates and experienced medical staff. Under a quarter of trainees chose to go into general practice last year - with just over 5,000 applicants in total. But cash will now be offered if they work in an under-staffed area for three years. Andy Burnham (above), shadow minister for health, said the figures prove the NHS is suffering from a GP recruitment crisis . Andy Burnham, shadow minister for health, said the figures prove the NHS is suffering from a GP recruitment crisis. 'GP services have gone into freefall under this government. David Cameron promised to put GPs at the heart of the NHS, but instead caused a new GP recruitment crisis,' he told the Observer. But GP leaders have said that the advertisements will not solve the staffing crisis. Dr Ken Deacon, medical director of the North Midlands at NHS England, said that the problem was newly qualified GPs being outnumbered by those nearing retirement. The advert promised doctors currently working in Australia (Sydney Opera House above) that the scheme would 'help you rediscover and enhance the skills you need to return' A female-heavy workforce has also been blamed for the gap. The 'feminisation' of surgeries has led to the UK needing more trainees because women are more likely to work shorter hours than men, a report released by the Migration Advisory Committee last week claimed. This has contributed to an annual shortage of 450 to 550 GPs, the committee warned. It suggested that more needed to be done to recruit family doctors - including hiring extra foreign doctors from across the EU.

The company has developed a range of 'solid-state' batteries (SSBs) that store 50 per cent more energy than current models and will make our favourite gadgets smaller and safer. Scroll down for video . Dyson inventor Sir James Dyson has invested $15 million (\u00a310 million) in Michigan-based Sakti3. The firm has developed a solid-state battery capable of storing double the amount of power as traditional lithium-ion models. The batteries could feature in Dyson's cordless cleaners as well as phones and other gadgets . It is the first investment Sir James has made outside of his bagless vacuum business. Batteries have three main components - the anode, cathode and electrolyte. This electrolyte is typically a chemical that separates the anode and cathode and moves the flow of electrical charge between the two. The majority of batteries found in phones, electric cars and Sir James' range of cordless vacuums use lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology. Lithium-ion batteries use a liquid electrolyte and because lithium is a highly-reactive element it stores a large amount of energy. But this liquid electrolyte is often flammable and has been blamed for batteries bursting into flames when overheated, for example. Due to the safety implications of placing flammable liquids in electric cars, too, many of these auto-based batteries have added safety features making them expensive to run.

Stoke City beat Everton, to nobody\u2019s great surprise, and look on course for their best Premier League finish yet \u2013 a year after their last. Mark Hughes really should be in the running for those annual accolades saluting success amid all this. Manager of the Year? Quite possibly. Mark Hughes looks on with a smile as his Stoke City side cruise to a 2-0 win over Everton on Wednesday . He has signed with remarkable shrewdness, shaped his players into a cohesive style, and overcome the set-backs of regular injuries to key players to guide Stoke to 42 points after 28 games. His team registered 50 Premier League points in reaching ninth last term, two club records, but are currently in a rich vein of form and likely to go higher. Seven wins from 11 in the league have seen Stoke nudge past West Ham United and Swansea \u2013 both clubs with claims to good seasons. And all the while forking out less cash on recruits than Burnley. That is the bit to amaze. Hughes has committed \u00a31.2million on bringing in new players this season: \u00a3800,000 on brilliant Bojan from Barcelona, and \u00a3400,000 on young centre-back Dionatan Teixeira from Slovakian side Dukla Banska Bystrica.

Victor Moses, whose uncommonly good header broke the deadlock at the Britannia on Wednesday, is on loan from Chelsea. Philipp Wollscheid, who has come into defence at a vital period to instant effect, is on loan from Bayer Leverkusen with view to permanent move this summer.

The cookbook, Bubba Yum Yum: The Paleo Way, has been slammed by the Public Health Association of Australia as having the potential to stunt the growth of babies and impair development. One recipe is a do-it-yourself baby formula made from liver and bone broth - one of Evans' signature Paleo creations. Scroll down for video . Bubba Yum Yum: The Paleo Way, has been slammed by the Public Health Association of Australia as having the potential to stunt the growth of babies . 'In my view, there's a very real possibility that a baby may die if this book goes ahead,' said Professor Heather Yeatman, president of the PHAA. The cookbook is the joint venture of celebrity chef Evans, a long time advocate for the paleo diet, baby-blogger Charlotte Carr and naturopath Helen Padarin. Evans has previously released two best-selling cookbooks through publisher Pan MacMillan, including titles Family Food and Healthy Every Day, and Carr, the wife of Australian Idol contestant Wes Carr, runs the popular Bubba Yum Yum website. Bubba Yum Yum: the Paleo Way was marketed as 'simple, delicious paleo recipes for new mothers, babies and toddlers' by 'health crusaders' Carr, Padarin and Evans, who 'have seen firsthand the positive impact a paleo way of eating has had on their families' wellbeing'. The greatest concern, especially given that none of the authors have medical qualifications, lie with the do-it-yourself baby formula, which is made primarily from liver and bone broth, reported The Australian Women's Weekly. Publisher Pan Macmillan has reportedly held off on the scheduled release date of the cookbook of March 13 . Evans posted a 2,100 word rant on social media in October last year claiming that the modern Australian diet is behind the rise in autism . Charlotte Carr (left), the wife of Australian Idol contestant Wes Carr (centre), runs the popular Bubba Yum Yum website and is a co-author of the book . The broth reportedly contains ten times the recommended daily intake of Vitamin A for infants, but lacks other basic nutrients needed for sustenance. Professor Yeatman said that while adults have the choice to follow the paleo diet, which excludes dairy and grains, parents are responsible for the diet of their children and that it would be unfair for parents to force 'unproven' beliefs on them. Evans, who is currently on a national tour promoting the paleo lifestyle, has long been a passionate advocate of the diet . 'That's the really troubling thing: the infant is totally at the whim of their parents when it comes to feeding. If the wrong decision is made, they may be seriously affected,' she said.

Mr Balls said: 'Getting on and doing east-west now is the priority.' Labour had previously backed HS2, which could cost more than \u00a350 billion, even though Mr Balls was known to have doubts about it. Mr Balls was speaking after a cross-party House of Lords inquiry warned that the Government had failed to 'make a convincing case' for the high speed rail line and concluded that improving east-west rail links might do more good for the economy. Labour will press ahead with plans to build a new line between London and Birmingham, with work due to begin in 2017. But it will reconsider the second phase of the project, which extends the line from Birmingham to Leeds and Manchester and was due to begin construction in the mid 2020s. Instead, Mr Balls said Labour would bring bring forward plans similar to the so-called HS3, a proposed new line linking the North East and North West. He said: 'I will want to be discussing how we can improve east-west links with David Higgins from day one and I think that is something we get on with quickly while we ask big questions about the second phase of HS2.' He added: 'The idea that we wait to do east-west until after we have done the second phase of north-south is topsy turvy. It has no economic or business logic at all.' Labour had previously backed HS2, which could cost more than \u00a350 billion, connecting London to Manchester and Leeds via Birmingham . Chancellor George Osborne also supports HS3 but construction is unlikely to begin until after HS2 is completed in 2033. Mr Balls said: 'I don't understand this proposal for HS3. Why would you decide to spend 20 years improving north-south links before, finally, in the third phase, coming to east-west? 'I think George Osborne has got this wrong. 'And our view is that it shouldn't be HS3 - it should be done before the second phase of HS2. 'I think getting on and doing east-west now is the priority.'

+{"article": "Australia's 17-man squad to defend the Ashes against England this summer is packed with pace men as well as a fair share of ageing stars. Ten of their squad are in their thirties, paving the way for a raft of Dad\u2019s Army references that will gather momentum if they get off to a bad start in Cardiff. Nonetheless, this is a squad that I would pick to defend the urn. Never mind planning for the future, their tour will be all about the present. Team Australia celebrate after winning the Cricket World Cup before naming their Ashes squad . NICE BALANCE . My first thought when I saw the squad was that it\u2019s the way I\u2019d have gone about selection. A five-Test series in England is not the time to experiment and the Australians have put faith in experience. Australia's selection of Adam Voges will bring an experienced head with them this summer . Adam Voges is an interesting choice: like Chris Rogers, he knows English conditions well. It\u2019s not a tour for blooding a young batsman. It\u2019s also why they\u2019ve gone with Peter Siddle among the seamers. If Ryan Harris breaks down, Siddle can slot straight in. FIREPOWER . IF Mitchell Johnson bowls anything like he did during the last Ashes, Australia should win. Both sides know there\u2019s still some scarring. Mitchell Starc managed to swing the white Kookaburra during the World Cup so he should be able to swing the red Dukes ball in England. He swings it late, too \u2014 as Brendon McCullum found out in the final. Fast bowler Mitchell Johnson will be hoping to terrorise English batsmen like he did last time around . I was impressed with Josh Hazlewood, too. He could prosper in England with his hit-the-deck style. Harris always has wicket-taking potential, although I wonder how quickly he\u2019ll slot back in after sitting out the West Indies tour. No 3 THE KEY . The series could hinge on Australia\u2019s No 3. Whoever it is, England will think they have a chance. Shane Watson has done the job in the past without ever really making it his own and there\u2019s been talk of Steve Smith moving up the order. Steve Smith has been in sensational form and could get moved up the batting order to No 3 . He\u2019s in the form of his life but he still moves around a lot at the crease. If the ball\u2019s swinging, that could spell trouble. The other option would be Voges, who has just averaged 104 in the Sheffield Shield. AGE CONCERN . I firmly believe you should try to get every last drop out of some of these cricketers, especially in an Ashes. As England discovered in 2013-14, an ageing side is only a problem if the players are approaching retirement, like Graeme Swann. At 37-years-old, Brad Haddin is likely to be playing his last Ashes along with a few others . But for someone like Rogers this tour will be a last hurrah. I\u2019ll be watching Brad Haddin. He\u2019s a fierce competitor but he\u2019s 37", "summary": "England host Australia for the 2015 Ashes on home turf this summer .

Wall Street executive Lynn Tilton, 55, of Patriarch Partnership is accused of hiding poorly performing investments among some of her dealings with distressed companies. The high-profile investor seeks out companies facing financial problems and attempts to turn them into profitable businesses. Lynn Tilton, pictured, has vowed to defend herself against charges that she defrauded her investors . However, the SEC believes that Ms Tilton failed to adequately tell people who invested more than $2.5 billion in some of her companies that they continued to face financial difficulties. The SEC said alleged fraud has continued since 2003. The SEC's decision to prosecute Tilton is seen as an attempt by government regulators to impose standards on Wall Street. President Obama has recently announced tougher restrictions on brokers who advise Americans over their retirement accounts. The SEC claims that Tilton failed her legal duty to clients to warn that some of the companies she had invested their money in were performing worse than expected. In its filing to a New York court the SEC said that Tilton 'intentionally and consistently directed' that the value of the assets remained unchanged even though they were worth less. The court documents said that three of the funds had under performed and Tilton had failed to pass this information on to her clients. The Securities and Exchange Commission claims that Tilton, second right, failed to properly inform her clients that some of the investment products had not been performing as well as they had anticipated . Tilton's company dismissed the allegations claiming that the SEC action was 'ill-founded and at odds with Patriarch's investment strategy, which was consistently disclosed since the inception of the funds. 'We look forward to the opportunity to vigorously defend ourselves against the SEC's allegations.' Tilton told CNBC that despite the SEC's case against her, she will continue to run more than 70 companies in her portfolio. She said: 'I am shocked. I am disappointed, saddened and ... I am certain that the allegations are ill-founded.' She said the case was 'the ultimate battle in good against evil, light against dark.' She added: 'My number one priority is protecting my company and my people so that I can maximize the value of the funds. My people need to know that I am fighting for them. I also want to live in a country where I can fight for truth without assuming that because it's the government that I am guilty without the battle. As someone who has always fought for truth, and protected her integrity and her intent, and have prevailed, I expect to do that.'

The schoolgirl who was groomed and abducted by paedophile teacher Jeremy Forrest has been offered the chance to meet him by social workers. Forrest was jailed after he had sex with the girl, then 15, and fled to France with her - finally being arrested after a week on the run. In the case that followed - during which the child at first pledged to stand by the maths teacher and professed her love for him - it emerged Forrest had begun grooming her when she was just 14. The girl's mother told BBC Radio 5 Live Daily that social workers had approached her daughter, who is almost 18, and offered her the chance to meet Forrest. They said the meeting could take place as part of the restorative justice scheme, where victims are given the chance to meet criminals so they can explain the impact of their actions. It is also thought to help to rehabilitate offenders by allowing them to see the personal impact their crime has had, and take responsibility. All meetings are supervised and in a controlled environment. Davina Williams, who has changed her name to protect her daughter's identity, said her daughter had not yet decided whether to take up the offer. But she added that the choice would be her teenage daughter's only. She said: 'I know she's in control of whatever happens next and rightly so. As a parent, you protect as much as you can as children and you teach the best you possibly can to give them the best start in life.

A brother and sister who were separated as babies and put up for adoption five decades ago have been reunited after realising they grew up just 500 metres apart. Niall Boylan, 51, a radio presenter in Dublin, met his biological sister who now lives in London, Fran Kavanagh, 49, for the first time this weekend after finding each other online last year. Niall, who has a show on Irish radio station 4FM, hit the headlines last year when he spoke about discovering that his birth mother had a little girl when he was just 13 months old in 1965. He said he only learned that he had a sister when the information was disclosed \u2018casually\u2019 in a letter from the adoption agency.

His decision to speak out last year led indirectly to the reunion with sister Fran, who had begun the process of finding out more about the circumstances of her own birth. She was adopted in 1966 by Maria and Christopher Kavanagh from Glasnevin.

HBO's six part docudrama concluded last Sunday with eccentric millionaire Durst off camera talking to himself in a bathroom with his wireless microphone still live . Durst was heard to mumble to himself 'killed them all, of course' in an unguarded moment off camera featured at the end of the final episode of HBO's The Jinx . Durst was arrested by police in New Orleans just hours before the show was broadcast and has since been charged with murder in the December 2000 shooting death of Susan Berman. There is speculation that Durst's explosive comments could be used against him in court, but attorney Dick DeGuerin said they prove nothing. 'There's one hundred ways of interpreting it ... one of 'em being very Shakespearean. The soliloquy,' he told 48 Hours. Famously used by Shakespeare in a number of his plays, a soliloquy is an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers. For instance Hamlet's 'To be or not to be' speech. 'If you are a student of Shakespeare, as I am, you'll understand that what I'm talking about,' said DeGuerin. He said he first heard Durst's recorded comments 'along with the rest of America' when it was broadcast last Sunday. Dick DeGuerin, the lead attorney on Durst's team, has compared his client's apparant confession to a Shakespearean soliloquy and claims that it could be interpreted in a hundred different ways . The lawyer also said that it is well know that Durst talks to himself and 'that's just one of his quirks.' 'There are people who feel like he got set up. ...My daughter's a journalist, and she was outraged at what Jarecki and his producers pulled.' DeGuerin also said he was 'astonished' that Durst was interviewed by Los Angeles prosecutors for three hours without his lawyer present after his arrest last Saturday. 'Bob is not sophisticated, he is intelligent, he's got Asperger's,' said DeGuerin explaining why his client hadn't simply refused to speak until he had his counsil present. DeGuerin filled court papers on Friday in which he claims Durst was illegally arrested on charges that he murdered a woman in California, as well as drug and weapons charges filed in New Orleans. In the papers filed at the State Criminal District Court in New Orleans, Gibbens and DeGuerin asked a magistrate judge to schedule a preliminary hearing so that they can prove that there is no probable cause to keep Durst jailed. They argue that he should be released. 'I think he's an easy target and everybody's piling on. ...

While your GP might give you some idea, scientists now say you can accurately predict your likelihood of death using a calculator and a treadmill. The process involves running in three-minute segments on a treadmill with an increasing speed and at a growing incline. Scroll down to read DailyMail.com review of the test... Scientists say you can accurately predict your likelihood of death using a calculator and a treadmill. The process involves running in three-minute segments on a treadmill with an increasing speed . Runners then plug in their vital statistics into a basic formula to find out how likely they are to die over the next decade. Dubbed the FIT Treadmill Score, the test was created by cardiologists at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland after studying 58,000 stress exams. 'The notion that being in good physical shape portends lower death risk is by no means new,' said lead investigator Haitham Ahmed. 'But we wanted to quantify that risk precisely by age, gender and fitness level, and do so with an elegantly simple equation that requires no additional fancy testing beyond the standard stress test.' The test consists of three-minute segments that increase in speed and incline. Follow the below stages in order to see which MET score you reach. Make sure you record your heart rate during each exercise. Stage 1 - 1.7 mph/10 per cent grade/5 METs . Stage 2 - 2.5 mph/12 per cent grade/7 METs . Stage 3 - 3.4 mph/14 per cent grade/10 METs . Stage 4 - 4.2 mph/16 per cent grade/13 METs . Stage 5 - 5.0 mph/18 per cent grade/15 METs . Stage 6 - 5.5 mph/20 per cent grade/18 METs . Stage 7 - 5.5 mph/22 per cent grade/20 METs . Then put in your details in to the following formula: . (12 x METs) + (% of maximum predicted heart rate) \u2013 (4 x age) + 43 if female. Maximum predicted heart rate is calculated as 220 \u2013 age. Heart rate achieved during exercise should be divided by maximum predicted. If you have at least zero, your survival rate is 97 percent in the next decade. In the study, scores ranged from negative 200 to positive 200. If you score 100 or higher, you have have a two percent risk of dying over the next 10 years, while those with scores between 0 and 100 face a three per cent death risk over the next decade. If you have a score between negative 100 and 0 had an 11 per cent risk of dying in the next 10 years, while scores lower than negative 100 have a 38 per cent risk of dying in a decade. As well as age and gender, the formula factors in peak heart rate reached during intense exercise and the ability to tolerate physical exertion as measured by so-called metabolic equivalents, or METs .

During his wildlife conservation visit to China, the Duke of Cambridge visited a photographer to learn about how he managed to capture such close up pictures of wildlife. And when photography enthusiast Xi Zhinong told the Prince he often dressed up as a tree so he could get close to the animals, the second in line to the throne pledged to do the same. Prince William has pledged to dress up as a tree on his next visit to China so that he can go out with photographer and conservationist Xi Zhinong to photograph rare Yunnan Golden Haired monkeys . The Prince said when he next returned to Yunnan Xishuangbanna he would join Xi on a photography exhibition and also don the same disguise to photograph the endangered Golden Haired Monkeys of Yunnan, according to People's Daily Online. It was pledged during the Prince's tour of the Far East, which he used to foster UK business links as well as raise awareness of the dangers of the illegal trade in wildlife. Golden haired monkeys of Yunnan are native to the forests of China and are highly endangered - with less than 2,000 estimated to be living in the wild. While able to withstand plunging temperatures and even snow, the species is in danger because their habitats are slowly disappearing and their distinctive appearance has made them a key target for illegal hunters. Yunnan golden haired monkeys are native to China but they are believed to be less than 2,000 in the wild . They are also something of a mystery because they were first discovered by scientists in the 1890s, then lost and thought to be extinct until 1962. The monkeys are herbivores and give birth every two or three years. China has launched a conservation programme to try and protect the species. Xi Zhinong is a Chinese wildlife photographer as well as an environmentalist. Between 1992 and 1996 Xi went to Baimaxue Mountain National Nature Reserve to raise awareness of the Golden Haired Monkey. He also hoped that by sharing photos of the monkeys and how they lived he could protect the natural habitat of the animals, in a strip of primeval forest. Prince William spoke to photographer Xi about his work and learned how he disguises himself to take pictures . After being discovered in the 1890s the Yunnan Golden Haired monkey did not appear again until 1962 . During his visit, Xi presented Prince William with two photography collections, 'Wild China' and 'The Spirit of Life'. Prince William was in China last week for a wildlife conservation visit. His visit was the highest profile Royal visit since the Queen toured the country in 1986, and gave the Prince the chance to meet wildlife experts and conservationists. He used the tour to condemn the trade in illegal wildlife and products, such as ivory, and called upon China to become a world leader.

Roma gipsy immigrants are illegally marrying underage girls as young as 12 before bringing them to the UK to live. Girls as young as 12 and 13 are regularly being married off in exchange for thousands of pounds in countries including Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary before being brought to Britain. The former deputy leader of Rotherham Council, where more than 1,400 schoolgirls were sexually exploited by Asian gangs, made the revelation at a meeting this week. It has prompted calls for an urgent investigation into how many child brides are living in Britain's estimated 250,000-strong Roma community. The arranged marriages of girls under 16 is common in Roma communities, where families follow the Gypsy code Pachiv which encourages girls to marry soon after reaching puberty. The code dictates that the head of the large family group is always obeyed and in some cases large sums of money can be involved when matchmakers seek out a suitable young girl for marriage. During a meeting of the full council in Rotherham this week, Independent councillor Martyn Parker repeatedly questioned former deputy leader Emma Hoddinott over the claims. Cllr Hoddinott finally admitted there are illegal brides in the town's large Eastern European immigrant community, adding it was 'unacceptable'. Cllr Parker said : 'On the Roma community you're not answering my questions. I've asked five times now and you're still avoiding it. 'I asked are there any people in the Roma community in Rotherham married to underage children - that's under 16-years-old. 'We need a bit of honesty for the people of Rotherham or we will go nowhere.' Cllr Hoddinott replied: 'It's a simple answer - yes, children are being married underage and that is unacceptable. 'We have to work with police to tackle that and we have to work with the commissioners to make sure there are actions in place to tackle these issues. Rotherham Council (pictured) heard there are underage illegal child brides in the town's Roma community . 'Underage marriage is an issue in Rotherham and we have to tackle that. Part of that is understanding how we tackle it. 'We need to get it right - we can't write off those girls because they are in that community.' But she said she was unable to say how many children in the town might be married to men already. But Cllr Parker said: 'You say you can't get the information, but a passport has marital status on it. If you're concerned about a child then you can get that information from the police - saying you can't answer is unacceptable. 'If they're here legally then they're here on a passport and the police can find out.'

The poster featuring blonde model Fiona Butler, who was 18 at the time the image was taken, attracted a flurry of criticism when the official Wimbledon Twitter account included it in a post promoting the Powerful Posters exhibition. Some followers accused the home of Wimbledon of sexism for highlighting the image, taken by the late Martin Elliott in 1976 at the University of Birmingham's tennis courts and printed by Athena. 'We apologise for offence caused by the Athena Tennis Girl poster. It is a controversial piece of poster history but we do not endorse it,' the profile later said after removing the post. Athena's Tennis Girl poster caused a Twitter stir and Wimbledon was forced to apologise after using it to promote a forthcoming exhibition called Powerful Posters . Last year the dress worn by Butler in the famous image, the wooden tennis racquet she is holding, a a 1979 edition poster and a 1980s limited edition canvas print were sold at auction for \u00a315,500. While such a price may indicate its historic value and iconic status, many on Twitter felt it had no place as a promotional tool for the exhibit in which it features at the respected venue. Tennis fan Kishore Sharma expressed her outrage on Twitter, saying: 'Can't believe Wimbledon used this pic for upcoming 'Powerful Poster Exhibition'.' Roger Federer fans who go by the name 'Fed's Angels' on Twitter, posted: 'Come on Wimble! I thought you were the classy slam!' The All England Lawn Tennis Club used the iconic poster, which will be exhibited with the handmade dress worn by model Fiona Butler and wooden racquet used in the 1976 shoot, to promote the exhibition . Even the wording of the apology attracted criticism as a Twitter user responded with the comment: 'The poster doesn't show the history of tennis, the girl isn't a tennis player, you are just publicising sexualisation of females.' And campaign group the Everyday Sexism Project asked: 'Wimbledon having deleted your tweet, can you confirm if the poster you tweeted will be included in your exhibition?' Twitter user David B backed the club, saying: 'Presumably John McEnroe will now have to be airbrushed out of Wimbledon history? These PC idiots - \"They cannot be serious!\"' An All England Club spokesman has since confirmed the poster would remain in the exhibition despite the apology. He added: 'We're aware that the poster has generated debate on social media and we decided to respond to some of the comments raised since we want to be clear that it is not a reflection of how we view women in tennis. 'The image in question is from a 1970s poster that was extremely popular, selling over two million copies worldwide and it is part of an historic exhibition about tennis posters dating back to 1893.

But while the 45-year-old might look like the consummate political wife, her telenovela acting career has repeatedly come back to haunt her. Most recently, her embattled husband, President Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto, has been derided for indulging in 'soap opera politics' as scandal after scandal has engulfed him - and his First Lady. Scroll down for video . Early days: Ms Rivera's career began at 17 and she was briefly a bikini model before becoming an actress . Of all the contretemps, none has struck quite such a chord with the angry public as the ongoing controversy over Ms Rivera's purchase of a multi-million pound mansion in Mexico City in 2010. First reported by local journalist Carmen Aristegui late last year, the purchase allegedly came about after a murky deal was struck between the First Lady and a government contractor. Ms Rivera, who initially counteracted the claims by insisting that the reason the title deeds were not in her name was because she hadn't finished paying for it, was forced onto the back foot as more revelations came to light. Most concerned the involvement of Ingenier\u00eda Inmobiliaria del Centro, a subsidiary of Grupo Higa, a key government contractor. The business, in whose name the property is held, had been granted more than $8bn pesos (\u00a3377m) in construction projects during Pe\u00f1a Nieto's tenure as governor of Mexico State.

Chic: Ms Rivera won plaudits from critics for her striking choice of outfit, including serious jewels . Interestingly, days before the report emerged, a high speed rail contract handed to Constructora Teya, an affiliate of Grupo Higa, was mysteriously cancelled. With suspicions mounting and Pe\u00f1a Nieto being accused of fostering the sort of corruption he had campaigned to put an end to during the 2012 presidential campaign, a chastened Rivera appeared on national television to announce she intended to sell the house and had 'nothing to hide'. 'I have taken the decision to sell my interest in the purchase contract of the house,' she announced. 'I have nothing to hide. 'I don\u2019t want this to continue to be a pretext to offend and defame my family. Today, I am here to defend my integrity, that of my children and of my husband.' Whatever the truth of the matter, there is no doubt that the scandal, coming hot on the heels of the disappearance of 43 student teachers, was a disaster for the Pe\u00f1a Nieto regime. Considered handsome but dim by most voters during the 2012 presidential campaign, tough economic reforms sent his popularity ratings tumbling, while the furore over the students could prove terminal.

Kane Hutchison, 25, was found guilty of inciting two teenage boys to engage in sexual activity on the internet. The abuse came to light after the mothers of the two boys, aged 13 and 14, recognised Hutchison, from Gateshead, following a conviction last year. In August 2014, he was jailed for three years for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy after offering to take him to watch a football match.

He asked (the boy) to send pictures of himself.' The boy told police Hutchison had communicated with him on 'face tag' and appeared on his computer screen via a webcam committing a sex act on himself. He encouraged the victim to do the same and made him swap intimate pictures. Hutchison also tried to meet the youngster in a car park, the court heard.

He also sent him intimate pictures of himself on Facebook and Snapchat and encouraged him to do the same. It came to light when the boy's mother recognised him as one of her son's Facebook friends. Hutchison denied two counts of sexual assault but was found guilty after a trial. He can now be identified after a reporting ban was lifted. Nick Lane, defending, said Hutchison had already had his FA licence, to teach children, revoked. At the time of his arrest, he was working for a football magazine, he said.

Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) made the recommendation after finding that black and minority ethnic motorists were disproportionately affected by vehicle stops. Forces are currently not required to make official records of vehicle stops. But a survey by the police watchdog found 7-8 per cent of white drivers were stopped in the last two years, compared to up to 14 per cent of black drivers. HMIC has recommended that all vehicle stops are officially recorded. Police are not currently required to do so but the watchdog found 7-8 per cent of white drivers were stopped in the last two years, compared to up to 14 per cent of black drivers . But white drivers were more likely to be arrested, given a fixed penalty notice, be summonsed or prosecuted \u2013 suggesting ethnic motorists were \u2018more likely to be stopped for no reason\u2019, the report found. Police made no attempt to assess if they were using their powers fairly, it said. Police forces have also made \u2018disappointingly slow progress\u2019 in improving their use of stop and search powers, said HMIC. Government inspectors warned in 2013 that more than a quarter of police stop and searches were unlawful \u2013 equivalent to 250,000 of the one million people every year being subjected to searches which did not stick to the rules. Legally nobody should be stopped unless there is 'reasonable suspicion' they are guilty of carrying drugs, weapons or intending to commit a crime.

HMIC Chief Stephen Otter said: \u2018Too many police leaders and officers still don't seem to understand the impact that the use of powers to stop and search people can have on the lives of many people, especially young people and those who are from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. \u2018This is disappointing because getting it wrong can lead to resentment, anger and, in time, a loss of trust in the police.\u2019 He said fury about unfair and disproportionate stop and searches was \u2018one trigger for major disorder\u2019. Mr Otter said police forces might be falling short because they were made up overwhelmingly of white officers. \u2018If you are a black officer it might be easier to empathise because it might have happened to you; it is much less likely to happen if you are white,\u2019 he said. \u2018Is it active discrimination? Is it racial profiling? There's a lot of research that suggests that's the case.\u2019 A survey of more than 12,000 police officers found more than a third of police officers felt under pressure to carry out fewer stop and searches .

This is based on figures from Dataloft, which says the average prime London home costs \u00a33,500 per week to rent. In total, around \u00a3100 million has been paid up front in the first ten weeks of 2015, which is twice as much as the same period last year. The frenzy is being caused by the General Election, fears of mansion tax and influx of super-rich escaping Russia and Ukraine, according to letting agents E J Harris. Stamp Duty has also turned vendors into landlords and buyers into tenants as the central London \u00a32 million to \u00a320 million sales market has stalled.

+{"article": "Decades ago I found myself working with a young woman with autism. I had done my reading of the autism texts of the time, and was singularly surprised when nothing I had read matched up to the person I was sat next to. There was no flapping, she had no interest in my earrings or buttons, and she certainly wasn't even lining anything up. We know so much more about autism now but the idea that all people with autism are disordered, impaired, or somehow 'lesser' is one that still needs to be challenged. Scroll down for video . People with autism (such as the rock singer Courtney Love) are often unfairly stigmatised, says Luke Beardon, a senior lecturer in autism, who has studied the subject for more than two decades . Having worked closely with people with autism for more than 20 years, I have had the pleasure of meeting many hugely intelligent, insightful, kind, caring, loyal, skilled autistic individuals. This includes two of my best doctoral students who both graduated successfully and are now prominent in their respective fields. Some of the strongest marriages I have encountered are between people with autism, and I have also met multi-millionaire entrepreneurs who have been identified as autistic. WHY IS THERE SUCH A STIGMA SURROUNDING AUTISM? So, the question remains, why is it that autism continues to be seen as a disorder, with terms such as 'impaired functioning' still so rife within the literature and current diagnostic manuals? Why is it that one needs to present as a 'problem' before being in a position to be identified as autistic? Even the term 'diagnosis' brings along its own associations with 'illness' or 'disease'. Surely, this gives out the wrong message to all involved \u2013 parents, individuals, and the public. For years, I have been suggesting 'identification' as a more appropriate term, which counters the pejorative language so often heard in reference to autism. Without doubt being autistic in a world populated in the main by people who are not can cause huge issues for the individual and their family. But this is not the same as suggesting that the problems are caused by being autistic. The very fact that there are plenty of autistic individuals who are hugely successful demonstrates that being autistic does not preclude anything at all. Actors Dan Ackroyd and Daryl Hannah, and singer Courtney Love are to name but a few, while others have retrospectively identified other potential big names such as Stanley Kubrick.

Incredibly, Matthew beat the odds and has lived to see his first birthday, a milestone doctors feared he might never reach. Trisomy 13 is a chromosomal disorder which can lead to multiple congenital abnormalities which result in severe physical and mental impairment.

Trisomy 13, or Patau syndrom, is a chromosomal abnormality caused by an extra copy of chromosome 13 in every cell.

Fresh from an Australian Grand Prix 'triple crown' of pole position, fastest lap and race win, Hamilton was forced to pull his Mercedes to one side after just four installation laps in the first practice session at the Sepang International Circuit. Mercedes mechanics fix Lewis Hamilton's car at the team's garage after its engine failure on Friday . After the car was hauled back to the garage there were initial fears an engine change may be required, only for the fault to lie within the power unit inlet system. The depth of the issue within the system, however, meant Hamilton did not return to the track until 38 minutes into the 90 of FP2. But the 30-year-old wasted no time in getting up to speed as he went on to set the fastest lap, being the only driver to dip under 100 seconds with a time of one minute 39.790secs. 'It was an amazing job done by my guys to rebuild the car, get the engine and gearbox back on and to get back out,' said Hamilton. 'I am very grateful for that. Especially here where it is so hot and so difficult for the tyres, so it was really important get back out.' Hamilton overcame the engine problems in the morning practice session to set the fastest time . Losing too much time, however, may yet prove costly as Hamilton added: 'It affects you quite a bit. 'Fortunately I got a few laps in with a longer run at the end, but in terms of my set-up, I have not made any changes and it is quite a bit off from where we need it. 'Overall, my preparations have been heavily compromised. Whenever you lose a session, and most of the second session too, that definitely doesn't help. 'In the end, just to get some laps was crucial.

In 2012, experts at the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) who were probing the company after some of its rivals complained about Google\u2019s dominance in internet search, wrote that the company was using anti-competitive tactics, to the detriment of users. The 160-page report, which was obtained by The Wall Street Journal, suggests that Google's algorithms were biased and it was demoting competitors' services, while putting its own at the top of search results lists. The 160 page report, which was obtained by The Wall Street Journal, suggests that Google's algorithms were biased and it was demoting competitors' services, while putting its own at the top of search results lists . It said that key staff members of the FTC were in favour of suing the Californian tech giant for violating antitrust rules, before the agency settled its investigation in 2013. The internal report was written by the FTC\u2019s competition bureau, which opened its investigation into internet search engines in 2011. It said that Google\u2019s 'conduct has resulted - and will result - in real harm to consumers and to innovation in the online search and advertising markets.' The report also said that the tech company's actions 'helped it to maintain, preserve and enhance Google\u2019s monopoly position in the markets for search and search advertising' and 'will have lasting negative effects on consumer welfare'. Google claims its facial recognistion 'FaceNet' system is practically perfect, getting the right person 99.96 per cent of the time. The dataset uses more than 13,000 face images from the Internet to measure how accurate the algorithms are at verifying whether two images are of the same individual . 'Our method uses a deep convolutional network trained to directly optimize the embedding itself, rather than an intermediate bottleneck layer as in previous deep learning approaches,' the researchers say. 'To train, we use triplets of roughly aligned matching / non-matching face patches generated using a novel online triplet mining method. 'The benefit of our approach is much greater representational efficiency: we achieve state-of-the-art face recognition performance using only 128-bytes per face. 'On the widely used Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dataset, our system achieves a new record accuracy of 99.63%.

+{"article": "Compelling: This picture, taken minutes after MH17 blew up, 'shows a BUK rocket trail' An image of a vapour trail taken minutes after a passenger jet crashed in Ukraine has been hailed as proof it was shot down by a Russian missile. Official investigators believe the picture, first published by The Mail on Sunday last year, holds the key to the fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, which was blown apart in mid-air, killing all 298 on board. Afterwards, Ukraine and Russia blamed each other, and still do, and the incident fuelled an increasingly bloody civil war which has seen large parts of Eastern Ukraine taken over by military forces loyal to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Dutch and Australian investigators now believe the image represents evidence that the Malaysian Boeing was hit by a Russian-made BUK rocket. They travelled to Ukraine to interview the photographer who took the picture from the roof of his block of flats in Torez, some 12 miles from the site where the missile was launched, and took away the camera as evidence. They believe the image and others taken by the photographer offer clear evidence of the BUK missile attack from a position on the edge of the town of Snizhne in pro-Russian rebel-held eastern Ukraine. Amid fears for his safety he was relocated to a safe house and has been under the protection of Ukraine\u2019s secret service ever since. Analysis by investigators has found the picture was taken at 16.25.48 seconds on July 17. The plane\u2019s data records stopped functioning \u2013 as a result of a catastrophic explosion, it is thought \u2013 at 16.21.28. Scroll down for video . The dispersing vapour is, according to experts, consistent with a BUK missile, which hurtled towards its target at 1,900mph, having been fired four minutes earlier. The photographer was questioned in detail by investigators about the time and location of his pictures. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he told The Mail on Sunday: \u2018I was in my flat in a suburb of Torez, and heard a loud noise \u2013 far louder than artillery or grenades. \u2018I ran to the window and saw how the wind was spreading the smoke trail above the horizon. Defenceless: All 298 passengers on board Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, which was blown apart in mid-air on July 17, last year, were killed . \u2018My camera was near the window. I grabbed it and ran upstairs to the roof to take a picture. I took my first picture but saw I had electric cables right in the middle, so then maximized the zoom and took the second. 'Then I turned round and on the other side, to the north, saw a trail of dark blue smoke. I decided that the missile must have hit a petrol station. I climbed to another other part of the roof to take a picture from there. 'It took me three minutes, and I took the third picture.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher labelled Chelsea players a 'disgrace' for their reaction to Ibrahimovic . The 33-year-old seemed apologetic as soon as he realised the impact of his challenge before the Chelsea players swarmed the referee demanding action. 'It was very unfortunate, it\u2019s not a red card. I actually think he\u2019s trying to pull his foot away.

The 38-year-old has started working on the film 'Back in the Day', which tells the story of a Brooklyn boxer taken in by a mobster, the New York Post first reported. In the movie, which stars Alec Baldwin, Danny Glover and Mike Tyson, Brancato plays the cousin of one of the boxer's opponents and gets into a scuffle with the lead character. The role comes more than a year after he was released from prison. He served eight years for a botched robbery in the Bronx in which an off-duty police officer was shot dead. Scroll down for video . New role: Lillo Brancato (pictured second right with, from left, actor Joe D'Onofrio, actor and producer William DeMeo and director Paul Borghese) has landed a role in 'Back in the Day' about a fighter from Brooklyn . In December 2005, Brancato tried to break into an apartment with Steven Armento, a low-level mobster and the father of his girlfriend, to steal Valium but NYPD officer Daniel Enchautegui heard glass break as they entered the building and confronted them. While Enchautegui waited for backup, a gun battle erupted and he was fatally shot in the chest. Armento was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Brancato was found not guilty of murder but was convicted of robbery and sentenced to nine years in prison minus time served. He was released on December 31, 2013.

+{"article": "Renault, which supplies engines to the Red Bull and Toro Rosso teams, is considering pulling out of Formula One because of the damage done to its reputation after a difficult start to the season. Renault Sport F1 managing director Cyril Abiteboul said Friday he is looking at his options, 'including getting out of Formula One.' 'If Formula One is that bad for Renault's reputation, if we see that we will continue to struggle with the current formula, if Formula One is not delivering on the value that it costs Renault ... this is what we're looking at,' he said. Renault's Cyril Abiteboul (centre) is pictured at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur on Friday . However, Abiteboul was also asked whether Renault was weighing up the option of buying an existing F1 team and becoming a race constructor again. 'We'll have to review the situation from a marketing and strategic perspective,' Abiteboul said. Renault won championships in 2005 and 2006 but withdrew from the sport after heavy penalties for fixing the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. The team principal of Toro Rosso, which is considered to be a takeover target if Renault took that step, said the Italy-based team would be receptive to an offer from Renault. 'This would be a fantastic opportunity for Toro Rosso to make the next step forward,' Franz Tost said. 'To be part of a manufacturer, to work together with a manufacturer, and be owned by a manufacturer would be exactly the step the team needs.' Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo in action during the first practice session for the Malaysian Grand Prix . Two other teams considered to be possible targets for Renault are Force India and Lotus, which have had financial troubles, but both played down any interest. Both teams have engine supply deals with Mercedes through 2020. 'We are not looking for a buyer and are not for sale,' Lotus chief executive Matthew Carter said. Force India deputy principal Bob Fernley said: 'I have had absolutely no discussion at all with Renault.' If Renault pulls out of F1, or switches from engine supplier to competitor, it would put Red Bull in a difficult situation. Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen drives during Friday's practice at the Sepang International Circuit .

But more than four months after the headline-grabbing announcement that she was to join the NBC network as a special correspondent in a \u00a3400,000 deal, she has yet to be seen on screen \u2013 and friends say she has decided against taking up a full-time job in the United States. The Duchess of Cambridge\u2019s sister has shot a series of reports for the long-running Today show in rural Wyoming, but none has seen the light of day.

The source said: \u2018There were talks and Pippa did a test shoot which went really well. But for various reasons, a regular show with Pippa isn\u2019t going to happen.

North has only scored one try in his last seven Tests - against Fiji last November - but at the Millennium Stadium it is a strike-rate of seven touchdowns from 10 starts during the past 16 months.

North is tackled by England's Jonathan Joseph (left) and Anthony Watson (right) during the Six Nations match . 'If you look at Ireland over the last couple of years in this fixture, they have just been clinical,' North added. 'Over the past two years they have been very good at finishing games off.

+{"article": "'Divisive': Patients are left in corridors outside wards they should be in while waiting for a free bed . Hospitals are being encouraged to park seriously ill patients on trolleys in corridors to ease the A&E crisis. Doctors say the controversial practice of \u2018boarding\u2019 \u2013 which amounts to letting wards overflow \u2013 is already being used at a number of under-pressure hospitals in England. It involves putting patients on trolleys outside the wards they should be in while they wait for a free bed instead of keeping them in A&E. Rather than criticising the measure, desperate A&E doctors say boarding should be used more widely \u2013 even though they concede it is \u2018potentially toxic\u2019. They argue it is necessary to free up space in overcrowded casualty units. As a result, doctors at the influential Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) have now given boarding their backing. But critics question its safety, amid fears that giving the green light to boarding could serve to legitimise overflowing NHS wards. Dr Adrian Boyle, an A&E consultant at Addenbrooke\u2019s Hospital in Cambridge and a prominent RCEM member, argued it was better to have patients waiting on corridor trolleys, after they had been seen and assessed, than languishing outside A&E in queuing ambulances. Between mid-December and mid-January, there were 11,203 occasions across England \u2013 more than 350 a day \u2013 in which ambulances were forced to wait more than an hour to hand over their patients because A&Es were full. Casualties are often crammed because patients cannot be shifted elsewhere in the hospital due to lack of beds \u2013 a situation called \u2018exit block\u2019. Studies show that when A&Es are crowded, patients fare worse and death rates can rise. Dr Boyle said: \u2018Boarding spreads the risk across the whole hospital, rather than concentrating and multiplying it in the emergency department.\u2019 He admitted it was \u2018potentially toxic and divisive\u2019 but said an \u2018exceptional response\u2019 was needed to \u2018exceptional circumstances\u2019. Dr Boyle said that \u2018a handful\u2019 of hospitals now use boarding during busy periods, but he would not name them. A spokesman for Addenbrooke\u2019s said they did not use the practice. Dr Boyle was speaking at a conference organised by the RCEM, which is advocating greater use of boarding. With hospitals \u2013 and A&Es in particular \u2013 getting busier every year, he said action had to be taken to better manage the rising flow of patients. \u2018If we get a trend like this going on into next winter, it\u2019s going to be like Armageddon,\u2019 he warned. On 11,203 occasions across England \u2013 more than 350 a day \u2013 ambulances were forced to wait more than an hour to hand over their patients because A&Es were full . Emergency doctors also see boarding as a way of making their hospital colleagues realise the problems they are facing. Dr Katherine Henderson, an A&E consultant at St Thomas\u2019s Hospital in London, said: \u2018It is not acceptable to have people waiting in the emergency department, out of sight of the rest of the hospital.\u2019 But many medics have serious reservations.

Peterson, posing above with one birthday guest, celebrated turning 30 on Saturday with a no-expense-spared party in his home state of Texas . The big 3-0 typically signals the beginning of the end for an NFL running back, but Peterson didn\u2019t let that spoil his fun on Saturday night. The Vikings' all-time leading rusher appeared in only one game in 2014 because of the child abuse case that involved injuries to his 4-year-old son. He was indicted on September 11, 2014, by a Montgomery County, Texas, grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child that occurred on May 18, 2014. He is accused of beating his four-year-old son with a tree branch, which Peterson consistently referred to as a 'switch', causing severe welts and bleeding on the child's back, legs, buttocks, genitals and ankles. In their initial response, the Vikings deactivated Peterson for a single game. Peterson\u2019s 2014 NFL season was over after arbitrator Shyam Das ruled in favor of the NFL on November 18, 2014, saying, 'the league can keep Adrian Peterson on the commissioner\u2019s exempt list,' effectively terminating the Minnesota Vikings running back's season. Actor Jamie Foxx was one of the guests in attendance for Peterson's party and he can be seen hamming in up on the dancefloor and in the DJ booth in cellphone footage that has appeared on social media since . The elaborate celebrations included costumes, an ice bar and a cake shaped like a middle eastern palace . His suspension, ordered by Commissioner Roger Goodell through at least April 15, was tabled after a federal judge knocked down the NFL arbitrator's denial of Peterson's appeal. Peterson was returned to the special exempt list, pending further developments on the legal front. He has three years remaining on his Vikings contract and is owed $12.75 million next season, but relations between the two parties are currently described as tenuous. While team officials have said they want Peterson back, he has questioned their commitment in the wake of the suspension controversy.

The church, which accounts for just under two million members and represents the largest Presbyterian denomination, made the announcement after the majority of its 171 regional governing bodies approved the change. Its revised constitution will now read that marriage is 'a unique commitment between two people, traditionally a man and a woman,' as opposed to just a man and woman previously. Scroll down for video . The Presbyterian Church USA which accounts for just under two million members, voted to expand its definition of marriage to include gay and lesbian couples \u00a9Alex Wong (Getty Images/AFP/File) 'Finally, the church in its constitutional documents fully recognizes that the love of gays and lesbian couples is worth celebrating in the faith community,' Rev. Brian D. Ellison, executive director of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians, which advocates gay inclusion in the church, told the New York Times. 'There is still disagreement, and I don\u2019t mean to minimize that, but I think we are learning that we can disagree and still be church together.' The new language, which was approved by the church's General Assembly last year, had to be ratified by more than half its regional bodies. A grouping of congregations in the state of New Jersey became the 86th body to do just that Tuesday. The decision is likely to drive a further wedge between Presbyterian USA members, who have taken opposite sides on the issue. The church has in fact been losing some of its members as it adopts a more liberal stance on social and religious issues. That being said, the fact that some many members who were against same-sex marriage have moved on to other churches made the passage of this new definition far easier for the church. At last year's Presbyterian General Assembly, the church also gave its pastors a green light to marry gay and lesbian couples in states where such marriages are allowed. 'These decisions have been welcomed by some and are a disappointment to others,' Gradye Parsons, stated clerk of the General Assembly, said at the time. The Presbyterians' position stands in sharp contrast to that of the Roman Catholic church, the biggest single denomination among Americans, and fundamentalist Evangelicals who strongly oppose gay marriage. In 2011, the Presbyterian Church USA voted to approve the ordination of openly gay and lesbian clergy.

Desmond Brooks, 42, of Brixton, South London, stabbed his wife Keisha McKenzie, 28, to death in front of their screaming seven year-old son during a horrific 30-minute knife rampage. The frenzied attacks at two homes just 350 metres apart also left Brooks' 46 year-old 'babymother' Joan Wade and Ms McKenzie's 17-year-old sister Saffron Yeboah-Simpson permanently disfigured with life-threatening injuries. Miss Yeboah-Simpson, an art and design student, was repeatedly stabbed after she tried to intervene to save her sister and pull her young nephew to safety. Jamaican national Brooks, who was facing deportation after serving a 12 month jail sentence for possessing cannabis, was arrested five hours later on a bus after telling the driver to flag police down. He told officers: 'I want to hand myself in. 'I killed my wife earlier. I couldn't take it any more. I killed my wife and hurt my baby's mother. 'My babymother told me to hand myself in.

They had a son in 2006 but had split up by 2009 when he started a relationship with Ms Wade and had a son with her in 2010. By the time of the murder, the couple had separated and there were active deportation proceedings under way.

The court heard Brooks launched the attack on Ms Wade 'out of the blue' after collecting their son from nursery. At around 6.30pm he went into the kitchen and approached Ms Wade as she lay on the sofa, and told her: 'I'm gonna kill you.' Brooks then began stabbing and hacking at her with a meat cleaver as she desperately tried to defend herself with her hands.

John Colin Bennett, 75, killed his wife Beatrice, 75, at their North Shropshire home after struggling to come to terms with her debilitating condition. His devoted wife of 55 years had been left unable to recognise her husband as a result of Alzheimer's disease and regularly called him a 'double' or an 'imposter'. John Colin Bennett, 75, killed his wife Beatrice, 75, at their \u00a3390,000 North Shropshire home (pictured) In May last year Mr Bennett decided he wanted to 'end her pain' and severely struck his wife with several blows to the head with a dumbbell fracturing her skull. He then cut her throat with a kitchen knife before calmly calling 999 and telling operators: 'I've done a terrible thing, I have murdered my wife.' The pensioner was detained in a psychiatric clinic under the Mental Health Act yesterday after previously admitting manslaughter at Stafford Crown Court. Judge Simon Tonking said: 'This wasn't a premeditated killing. It was, in part, an act which you believed to be one of mercy.' The court was told the happily married couple, both retired teachers, were completely devoted to one another but were unable to have children. They were described as a very 'private couple' who lived in Market Drayton, Shropshire, and relied on one another for almost everything. He then cut her throat with a kitchen knife before calmly calling 999 and telling operators: 'I've done a terrible thing, I have murdered my wife' The pair had a 'happy and active' retirement until Mrs Bennett, known as Trixi, began to show signs of dementia in 2011. Prosecutor Deborah Gould said: 'She was an enthusiastic bridge player and her condition first became noticeable whilst she was playing. 'Mr Bennett became plagued with fears about their future, he became depressed, unable to sleep and was on sleeping tablets. 'What undermined the world of this couple was age.' When he dialled 999 to hand himself in, he said: 'She has Alzheimer's. I hit her on the head to stun her. 'I couldn't see her suffer any more so I put an end to it. 'She didn't recognise me as her husband. I have had two years living with this stress.' Michael Duck QC, for the defence, said: 'That which emerges most strikingly is the depth of affection between husband and wife, the way they had supported each other as individuals for five and a half decades. 'On any view, a happy married life. He is contrite in the extreme. The pressures brought to bear on that particular day came together in a tragic few moments.' Speaking at the time of the death neighbours of the couple in the picturesque market town expressed shock at the news. Local resident Paul Dawson, 48, said: 'Trixie was very ill. I can't believe it was murder, he was probably trying to help her die.

Me neither, but here\u2019s an unexpectedly fascinating book that shows how to do just that. Interrogation is an unfortunate name with regrettable connotations . Not only will you learn how to have the guilty singing like canaries, this book also comes up with some genuinely important insights about the interrogation process. Ah, interrogation. Such an unfortunate term, with such regrettable connotations. Torture, screaming agony, electrodes, waterboarding \u2014 those kind of connotations. Yes, but it needn\u2019t be like that, say the authors, former CIA officers who are painfully aware of what \u2018CIA interrogation\u2019 is taken to mean \u2014 torture, screaming agony, electrodes, waterboarding \u2014 and who are appalled by that reputation. I think the authors are also against torture and pain on ethical grounds, but the nature of their disgust is partly professional. Because it turns out that interrogation-by-torment is ineffective, as the CIA\u2019s skilled specialists have known for some time. Only rank amateurs would ever try to extract confessions and information by upping the voltage or giving the thumbscrews another turn. The only approach that has any chance of success, state the authors, is exactly the opposite. Professionals who really know what they\u2019re doing try to take all traces of violence or confrontation out of an interrogation, turning it instead into an interview based on chummy sympathy and understanding. Good interrogators will lower their voice, talk slowly, claim empathy with their suspects and then \u2014 well, and then just keep on talking lowly and slowly seems to be the gist. Because what appears to work best is an interrogator who chats on and on, quietly, reassuringly, understandingly, often repetitively. \u2018We all make mistakes, Brian. Nobody\u2019s saying we don\u2019t make mistakes because, you know, Brian, we all make mistakes,\u2019 and so on and on and on. The comforting drone of the interrogator\u2019s monologue may sound mindless, but it is carefully created and should contain five key features. These are rationalising the action (you needed the money); projecting the blame (it was their fault for not paying you enough); minimising the seriousness (we\u2019ve all nicked Post-it notes); socialising the situation (this kind of thing happens a lot, it\u2019s nothing we haven\u2019t seen a million times); and emphasising the truth (if you could explain what happened when you took the money, that would be great and would help us all move on). Acts of terrible violence, gross betrayals, fraud, theft, murder \u2014 the skilled interrogator will mimic thorough understanding of the worst crimes to keep up the pretence of being on the suspect\u2019s side. Number of tweets the CIA monitors every day . At the same time, the interrogator will be intent on keeping that suspect locked into a mode of short-term thinking \u2014 keeping the focus on particulars and specifics, trying like crazy to stop the suspect considering the long-term consequences of telling an implicating truth and being found guilty.

A number of reports suggest the sighting of this test vehicle could mean the Model X will hit dealerships as early as this year . Electric vehicles are a useful tool for fighting city summers, according to a new study. Switching from vehicles powered by fossil fuels to plug-in equivalents would ease a phenomenon called urban heat island, it said. The term describes what happens when city temperatures are driven higher by heat from traffic and air conditioners and by warmth, stored during the day in roads and buildings, which is released at night. The researcher's simulation was based on the weather in the Chinese capital in the summer of 2012, when the city was three degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the surrounding countryside. Switching vehicles to electric would have caused this to fall by 0.94 C (1.7 F), according to their model. 'Heatwaves kill, and in terms of climate change, even one degree can make a difference,' said Jianguo Liu of Michigan State University, who took part in the study.

Iker Casillas could also overtake the former England international following completion of the last-eight tie . Real Madrid pair Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas, Barcelona midfiedler Xavi and Manchester United goalkeeper Victor Valdes are all tied on 51 appearances in the knockout stage. Lampard, who won the competition with Chelsea in 2012, is only likely to hold the record for less than one month with Ronaldo, Casillas and Xavi, to a lesser extent, set to feature for their sides in next month's quarter-finals. Former England international Lampard will join New York City in the summer and, barring an unlikely return to Europe, will not get the chance to add to his tally of Champions League knockout games.

As they slowed for the barrier, four cars forced them to a halt and up to 15 robbers appeared wearing balaclavas and brandishing automatic weapons. They used gas sprays to knock out the two armed guards in each lorry. The guards were pulled from their cabs and dumped by the toll booth. Yesterday's raid bore all the hallmarks of having been carried out by the Pink Panthers, a gang responsible for audacious heists across Europe and beyond over the past two decades. They always wear balaclavas or face masks and use Kalashnikovs and high-powered stolen cars to carry out their spectacular crimes.

The 56-year-old, who lives close to his elderly mother in Haughton Green, Tameside, says he then set up a life for himself in the UK, which involved attending school, paying taxes and working for four decades. He also married a British woman with whom he had three children.

Britain\u2019s biggest supermarket, along with Asda, Sainsbury\u2019s and Morrisons, have been forced to slash prices to combat the rise of budget chains, Aldi and Lidl. Essentials such as milk, bread, eggs, vegetables and roasting chickens have seen big price cuts since the turn of the year, delivering a real reduction in the cost of putting food on the table. The Kantar figures show Aldi continues to thrive with sales up 19.3per cent on a year ago, giving in a market share of 5per cent, which means it is almost on a par with Waitrose. Sales at Lidl are up by 13.6per cent in a year, giving it a market share of 3.5per cent. Both Aldi and Lidl are thriving by deliberately target middle and higher income shoppers by peppering their aisles with high profile luxury or award winning food and drink. Just last week, Aldi launched packs of two gourmet beef Wagyu burgers at \u00a32.99, which compares to \u00a329 for the price of a similar burger at fashionable restaurants such as the London\u2019s Dorchester Hotel. Kantar\u2019s Fraser McKevitt, the head of retail and consumer insight, said: \u2018A combination of lower general inflation and the grocery price war has saved shoppers \u00a3400 million in the past 12 weeks, with deflation driven to a record low of -1.6per cent.

For 25 years, astronomers have used it to peer deep into distant galaxies with unrivalled clarity, revealing the breathtaking beauty of our universe. In the April issue of National Geographic, some of the most stunning images beamed back for the telescope have been revealed. The Horsehead Nebula is a cold, dark cloud of gas and dust, silhouetted against the bright nebula IC 434. The bright area at the top left edge is a young star still embedded in its nursery of gas and dust. The nebula is relatively close at 1,500 light years from Earth . Hubble has helped scientists understand how planets and galaxies form, detected black holes and changed our theories surrounding dark energy, a mysterious force that causes the universe to expand faster and faster as time goes on. The hundreds of thousands of images beamed back from Hubble have helped scientists unravel cosmic mysteries as well as estimate the age of the universe to about 14 billion years old. Among them is the Horsehead Nebula - a cold, dark cloud of gas and dust, silhouetted against the bright nebula IC 434 1,500 light years from Earth. Another remarkable image shows a display of starlight, glowing gas, and silhouetted dark clouds of interstellar dust that forms the spiral galaxy NGC 130. This is one of Hubble's largest images ever made of a complete galaxy. Some of the most striking scenes are created during the death throes of intermediate-mass stars, when great clouds of superheated gas are expelled into space. In 2002, a dull star in an obscure constellation suddenly became 600,000 times more luminous than our sun, temporarily making it the brightest star in the Milky Way. The mysterious star, called V838 Monocerotis, has since faded back to obscurity. But observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of a phenomenon called a 'light echo' around the star have uncovered remarkable new features . This huge, young stellar grouping, called R136, is only a few million years old and resides in the 30 Doradus Nebula, a turbulent star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way .

During the resulting furore, Mr Vine ran a spoof, \u2018Jeremy\u2019s six-step guide to tax avoidance for the rich\u2019, on his radio show. Jelly Vine Productions had almost \u00a3810,000 in cash on its books in 2013 \u2013 the last accounts available, and \u00a31million in 2012. If the funds had been paid to Mr Vine through the Pay As You Earn scheme used by most firms, it would have been taxed at 40 or 45 per cent. But by channelling them through a private firm, he can declare them as company profits, subject to corporation tax of 23 or 24 per cent. It is not clear whether these were earnings for Mr Vine\u2019s BBC work or included other fees such as payments for speeches or book royalties. But by arranging his finances in this way, he ensured Jelly Vine Productions could pay dividends to its shareholders. The firm is controlled by Mr Vine, who has 51 per cent of the shares. His wife, Rachel, has 30 per cent and the remaining 19 per cent is owned by Martha, one of their two daughters.

+{"article": "A&E departments across England are 'near breaking point' experts have today warned, as they called for an end to the fixation with the four-hour waiting target. A new report by the Nuffield Trust said an 'undue' focus on the national target can 'distort' behaviour inside hospitals 'in ways that are not in the interests of patients or staff'. Focus on the target can mean a significant amount of time is spent by staff reporting up the chain to those who commission healthcare, and regulators, with a potentially detrimental impact on the quality of care. The think tank's critique What's Behind The A&E 'Crisis'? comes as NHS England reveals emergency departments have not achieved the benchmark in England since July 2013. It comes as the latest figures, published today, show performance is getting worse. In the week ending March 1, 91 per cent of patients spent less than four hours in A&E before being discharged or admitted to a hospital ward - short of the 95 per cent target. The Nuffield Trust think tank today warned A&E departments across England are 'near breaking point', as they called for an end to the fixation with the four-hour waiting target . It marks a slight fall from the previous week, when performance was 92 per cent. But authors of the Nuffield Trust report argue that while the four-hour target has 'played an important part in improving patients' experiences', it is just one part of a complex system of urgent care. The report argues a set of 'richer performance indicators' should be considered alongside the weekly waiting time performance figures. Nigel Edwards, chief executive of the Nuffield Trust, and the report's co-author, warned: 'England's A&E system is near crisis. 'With the financial squeeze set to continue, there is no relief in sight if we keep up the current approach. 'We need to rethink our assumptions as many of the \"magic bullet\" solutions suggested miss the point. 'It's not about more people turning up, but about a system with a squeeze on hospital space and staff, which needs to get better at discharging people safely and on time.' Every minute of every day, an average of 40 patients arrive at emergency departments in England. The speed with which people move through A&E 'has come to be regarded as a sentinel marker of the health care system'. The chair of the British Medical Association, Dr Mark Porter, agreed, adding the four-hour wait has become 'disproportionate'. Responding to the Nuffield Trust briefing, he said: 'Doctors want to treat patients on the basis of their individual need, rather than an arbitrary target. 'Moving away from a system that prioritises targets above all else to one which takes a wider view of how services are performing would improve the quality of patient care by preventing rushed admissions, or leaving those most in need waiting longer for treatment. 95 per cent \u2013 the national target specifying the proportion of patients that should spend four hours or less in A&E before being sent home or admitted elsewhere in the hospital. 92 per cent", "summary": "Nuffield Trust report warns A&E units in England are 'near breaking point' The What's Behind The A&E 'Crisis'? briefing says 'undue' focus has been placed on the four-hour waiting time target .

A video has revealed just how smart pigs are, which may leave some people a little more reluctant to tuck into a choice cut of pig. The latest evidence of the creature's intelligence shows a pig sorting shapes without any human intervention. Moritz the pig in Berlin, Germany has solved a complex puzzle. The pig did it without any help from a human. In a video (shown) the pig puts coloured shapes into a wooden block. Recent research also revealed they have empathy like humans . The video was recorded by Nicolle von Eberkopf, who lives in Berlin, Germany. In a video, Moritz the pig places coloured pig-shaped blocks in corresponding coloured holes on a wooden board. The pig does this using its mouth, without any help. \u2018Animals are an important part of our society,\u2019 said Ms von Eberkopf. The sign of pig intelligence follows research earlier this year when scientists discovered that the creatures may be capable of empathy - a characteristic thought to be almost uniquely human. In an elaborate experiment, experts discovered that pigs shared the stress and happiness of their penmates. This findings by Wageningen University in the Netherlands suggest that swine respond to each other\u2019s feelings, and adds weight to the argument that the practice of separating the animals in farms is especially cruel. The pigs were trained either to anticipate happiness or distress, by playing them music and either rewarding them with a pleasant treat such as chocolate raisins and a roomy house filled with peat, or putting them in a stressful situation, such as keeping them in isolation in a small pen. Untrained, \u2018na\u00efve\u2019 pigs were placed in a pen with a pig conditioned to expect happiness, or one that expected discomfort.

Scientists discovered that patients who listened to experts of Mozart had enhanced gene activity in the brain in areas including memory and learning. Meanwhile, the music also affected the activity of a risk gene connected to Parkinson's disease. Classical music can help slow down the onset of dementia by enhancing gene activity in the brain, new research has found . The Finnish researchers found the changed activity was only present in 'musically-experienced' patients, who listened to music regularly, suggesting the importance of familiarity with music. For the study, participants were asked to listen to Mozart's violin concert No 3, G-major, K.216, a piece that lasts 20 minutes. The experiment was carried out on both musically experienced and inexperienced participants. The research involved participants listening to Mozart (pictured) for 20 minutes . The study showed that genes were enhanced in those deemed 'musically experienced' in areas such as dopamine secretion, which is when a neurohormone is released in the brain, synaptic neurotransmission, which is how neurons receive information, and learning and memory. Meanwhile, the music appeared to down-regulate genes associated with neuro-degeneration, which is the progressive loss of the structure or function of neurons. The researchers said several of the up-regulated genes were ones which are responsible for song learning and singing in songbirds. This suggests a common evolutionary background of sound perception across different species, they said. One of the most affected genes in this area was synuclein-alpha (SNCA), which is also a known risk gene for Parkinson's disease. Study leader Doctor Irma Jarvela, of Helsinki University, said: 'The up-regulation of several genes that are known to be responsible for song learning and singing in songbirds suggest a shared evolutionary background of sound perception between vocalizing birds and humans.' He added: 'The effect was only detectable in musically experienced participants, suggesting the importance of familiarity and experience in mediating music-induced effects.' Dr Jarvela added that the findingscould give give further insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying music therapy. The effects of this are still largely unknown.", "summary": "Research saw patients listen to Mozart's violin concert No 3 for 20 minutes .

+{"article": "The Chancellor used this week's Budget to announce the first above-inflation increase in the threshold for the higher rate of tax . George Osborne is expected to pledge to accelerate increases in the 40p income tax threshold if the Conservatives win the general election. The Chancellor used this week's Budget to announce the first above-inflation increase in the threshold for the higher rate of tax, which has sucked in ever-more middle-class families, in seven years. But yesterday economists said that even after the latest rise, the decision to limit increases had left millions out of pocket. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said higher-rate taxpayers will be \u00a3535 worse off in 2017-18 than they would have been had the threshold risen in line with inflation since 2010. Those earning up to \u00a3100,000 have benefited from repeated increases in the 20p threshold, but not as much as the 26million basic-rate taxpayers. Mr Osborne persuaded reluctant Liberal Democrat colleagues to agree that the higher-rate tax threshold should rise gradually from \u00a341,865 this year to \u00a343,300 in April 2017 as he sought to woo voters ahead of May's election. He is now expected to use the Conservative election campaign to say he would go faster if the party wins outright. The Chancellor says he wants to deliver a threshold of \u00a350,000 for higher-rate tax and \u00a312,500 for the basic rate. The IFS said yesterday that higher-rate taxpayers were feeling the pain from the Coalition's earlier decisions to cut the threshold for paying 40p and then increasing it by less than inflation. The think-tank said the threshold would need to rise to \u00a348,650 by 2017 to ensure that higher-rate taxpayers had not lost out since 2010. Robert Joyce, a senior research economist at the IFS, said: 'Higher-rate taxpayers will be \u00a3535 worse off because the point at which you start paying 40p income tax has been reduced in real terms significantly over this Parliament.' But he said basic-rate taxpayers will be \u00a3597 a year better off by 2017-18 because of increases in the personal allowance \u2013 the point at which income tax of 20 per cent kicks in. Mr Osborne says he wants to deliver a threshold of \u00a350,000 for higher-rate tax and \u00a312,500 for the basic rate . The Coalition has already raised the personal allowance from about \u00a36,500 to \u00a310,000 and it is due to hit \u00a311,000 in 2017. Mr Osborne said the planned increases in the 40p threshold in the coming years \u2013 which could be reversed by an incoming Labour government \u2013 were a modest 'downpayment' on Tory plans to raise the threshold to \u00a350,000 by 2020. David Cameron vowed last year to end the scandal of so-called 'fiscal drag', which has seen millions of people dragged into higher rates of income tax by below-inflation increases to thresholds. The number of people paying 40p tax has risen from around three million to five million since 2010 and is due to keep rising.

However, the proportion of foreign-born adults in Los Angeles has actually decreased 9 percentage points to a little less than a third since 1990, and a large number of the Millenials with foreign language skills are thought to be bilingual. The rise in bilingualism is probably caused by children continuing to speak their parents' tongues in addition to English, according to Voice of America. UCLA professor Raul Hinojosa said that the children and grandchildren of immigrants historically stopped learning to speak the same language of their ancestors, but that there has been a 'sea change in the last ten years'. California has seen a growing percentage of its young adults speaking foreign languages (bars in blue) since the 1980s. The US as a whole (pink bars) has also seen its rate increase at a slower pace . Hinojosa said that languages beyond Spanish, second and third-generation immigrants will be encouraged to keep knowledge of Mandarin and other languages. The American Community Survey collected data between 2009 and 2013 and found that 23.3 per cent of the population was between 18 and 34 years old, a fall from 30 per cent in 1980. Data showed that the generation is less likely to be married and more likely to have gone to college than three decades ago, as well as more likely to speak a foreign language. Areas that showed the highest rates for speaking something other than English were near the US-Mexico border in California and Texas. New Jersey was found to be the third most likely state for a young adult to speak a foreign language at home. West Virginia ranked last for the statistic with 3.63 per cent and Middlesborough, Kentucky, was the metro with the lowest percentage of young adults who could speak a foreign language with 0.034. In contrast to Los Angeles, many US cities and states have seen significant increases in their foreign-born populations. The United States as a whole saw its estimated foreign-born population decline 0.4 percentage points from 2000", "summary": "Fifty-seven per cent of 18 to 34-year-olds in LA don't speak English at home .

Alexis Carey, from Boise, has Dravet Syndrome, an incurable genetic disease that causes severe and multiple seizures, which often leave parents guessing if the terror of watching their child seize up will pass or turn fatal. After her family learned that oil extracted from marijuana had helped other children with her condition, they wanted to see if it would help her too, but Idaho\u2019s stringent marijuana laws do not allow for medicinal use. Family support: Alexis Carey (left), a 10-year-old girl with a rare form of epilepsy, sat with her mother Clare Carey (center) and five-year-old sister Alanis Carey (right) last Friday in Boise, Idaho . Helping hand: Alexis, who has Dravet Syndrome, worked with her therapist Brigette Borup last week as her family fights to have Idaho lawmakers legalize marijuana extract oil to treat her seizures . 'Parent to parent, when you're in a small community and 10 people that you know are all having success, that's no longer anecdotal,' Clare Carey, her mother, said. 'That's hope.' The family began lobbying lawmakers to decriminalize the oil almost two years ago. Now, they've got some legislative backers and an upcoming hearing, as Idaho joins a larger movement to loosen laws to allow the use of marijuana extract oil. Twelve states have legalized the oil while still banning medical marijuana. Virginia legalized the oil February 26. In Utah, lawmakers have given initial approval to let those with chronic and debilitating diseases consume edible marijuana products, while still banning smoking. Marijuana extract oil first received attention when a Colorado family fought and won for access for their daughter who also had Dravet Syndrome. It is similar to hemp oil, which is legal in Idaho and can be bought in grocery stores. With no known cure for Dravet Syndrome, children are often prescribed a cocktail of medications to counter the seizures. However, the heavy drugs often come with side-effects that can permanently damage a child's developing liver, kidneys and other organs. Proponents of cannabidiol oil, a non-psychotropic extract of marijuana, argue that it reduces the amount and length of seizures in children. Over time, Mrs Carey hopes that the oil would also reduce the number of medications her daughter relies on. 'Like any parent, you never give up hope that you can get complete seizure control,' she said. 'Children die from Dravet by any one of the seizures. Alexis could have a seizure that may not stop, we never really know.' Sisterly bond: Alexis can be seen playing with Alanis.

A collection of Winston Churchill\u2019s paintings has been given to the public by the late Prime Minister\u2019s family to settle a multi-million pound tax bill. The politician\u2019s family was left owing \u00a39.4million in inheritance tax following the death of his last surviving child Lady Mary Soames last year. But rather than selling off the prized collection of 37 paintings, his family has given the paintings to the nation under a specialist tax scheme for important pieces of art. As part of the deal the vast majority of the paintings will be permanently displayed to the public at Chartwell, Churchill\u2019s former home that is now run by the National Trust. The wartime Prime Minister took up the hobby at the age of 41 and continued painting in a figurative style into his 80s, producing more than 500 works. Although his amateur offerings never received mass critical acclaim, they have attracted huge prices on the private market from avid fans of \u2018Churchilliana\u2019 buyers. The value of his paintings was highlighted last year when The Goldfish Pool at Chartwell \u2013 depicting the garden feature which he dug and visited daily - was sold for a record \u00a31.8m. Despite selling many of his prized possessions at auction last year, Lady Soames\u2019s will included a request that the paintings remain on display at Chartwell. She also asked that Coast Scene near Cannes should remain in the Houses of Parliament and that View From a Bathing Hut at the Miami Surf Club stays in the Churchill War Rooms. Lady Soames, who died last June at the age of 91, previously described how painting \u2018literally \u2018grabbed\u2019 her father in 1915. She credited the hobby for \u2018playing an increasing and abiding role in his life, renewing the source of his great inner strength and enabling him to face storms, ride out depressions and rise above the tough passages in his political life\u2019.

It also offers a \u2018good deal\u2019 for those offering up historically important items, with works avoiding the taxes associated with a sale on the private market. Inheritance tax is paid at 40 per cent when an estate exceeds \u00a3325,000 but the scheme sees the amount of tax incurred by the objects reduced to 25 per cent of its market value.

He told her he would use the details to find her and kill her if she went to the police. In the second known attack, in April 2013, Henry gagged the victim with duct-tape before and raped her at knife-point. He then forced her to wash his bedsheets before raping her again on the floor.

Female employees at Johnny Utah's were allegedly forced to dance for male customers and sit on their laps, wear sexy cowgirl outfits, and even wrestle in a pool of cranberry sauce . The working environment at the bar, the suit alleged, led to the women being subjected to 'pervasive and regular unwelcome sexual comments' and advances by customers and male staff.

They were also forced to play drinking games with the manager of the bar and his friends, the suit says. The bar has also been accused of secretly recording titillating images of the women, and routinely posting them on Twitter, Facebook and its own website without their consent. '[Johnny Utah is] a hyper-sexualized work environment that increases the defendants profits by exploiting, degrading and humiliating its female employees,' said the court papers. 'Johnny Utah's is in business of selling food and alcohol to the public, not providing adult entertainment to heterosexual men.' Destiny Frye, one of the plaintiffs, was 19 when she began working at the bar as a hostess. Despite being under-age, she and others were allegedly ordered to drink before riding the bull. Much of the alleged abuse centred around Johnny Utah's famous mechanical bull, which once featured on the cartoon show Family Guy.

A high-ranking officer in the Royal Navy 'deceitfully' forged the signature of a Lieutenant Commander who accused him of harassment and bullying to 'protect himself from future complaints', a court martial heard today. Captain Edwin Tritschler, 48, of Yeovilton in Somerset, is accused of forging the signature of Lieutenant Commander Christopher Bovill on documents to bring an end to the 'never-ending' list of complaints against him. He is accused of using a scanner and a computer to help forge Lt Cdr Bovill's signature on three separate documents. The court heard the forged documents were created by Tritschler to show the complaint department that he had given clear management advice to his junior. They also heard the pair had a 'difficult' relationship while they were both working on-board HMS Illustrious in July 2007, when it was based in New York. Captain Tritschler thought Lt Cdr Bovill's performance was 'substandard' while on board the Invincible-class aircraft carrier, Portsmouth Military Court Centre in Hampshire heard. Meanwhile, Lt Cdr Bovill believed Captain Tritschler to be 'abrupt', 'blunt' and accused him of being a 'bully'. Their feud resulted in Lt Cdr Bovill - who left his Major rank in the Army in 2006 to transfer to the Navy - pursuing the complaint service in the Royal Navy. Lt Cdr Bovill joined the Navy as senior air engineering officer and was working under Captain Tritschler, who was then a Commander. Captain Tritschler denies three counts of forgery. David Richards, prosecuting, said: 'The accused, Captain Tritschler, is a man of previous impeccable character. 'In 2007 and 2008 he was the head of air engineering on HMS Illustrious. In July 2007 the complainant, Lieutenant Commander Bovill, was transferred to HMS Illustrious, which was the first ship he had served on. 'It was clear the two men had a very difficult relationship. 'Captain Tritschler thought Bovill's performance was substandard. Bovill found Tritschler to be officious, abrupt and bullying. 'The disagreement between the two men resulted in Lt Cdr Bovill pursuing the complaint service. The pair had a 'difficult' relationship while they were working on HMS Illustrious (pictured) in 2007 . 'In February 2008 Lt Cdr Bovill submitted a complaint and a decision was reached but Lt Cdr Bovill was not happy and asked for it to be taken to the next level.' The court then heard Captain Tritschler allegedly forged Lt Cdr Bovill's signature on three separate documents. Mr Richards added: 'What the documents appear to show is regular manager advice from Captain Tritschler to Bovill and the documents bear signatures of both men. 'However, the signatures of Bovill were not put there by Bovill. Rather they are copied and forged, possibly using a scanner. 'There is no dispute that these signatures are forged. The dispute is whether Captain Tritschler is responsible for them. 'The prosecution's case is that Captain Tritschler only ever had the documents and the idea that someone else infiltrated them is fanciful.

This was last September and the beginning of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. It was the start of a new, bright, vibrant era under the inspirational Derry man. Hull City\u2019s midfield dynamo felt like a peculiar addition. He had been around the block since his debut against the same opponents in 2013 but never started a match with points at stake. Midfielder Stephen Quinn is in the reckoning to line up against Poland on Sunday . This was O\u2019Neill making his point and giving a player previously overlooked a chance to make his own point, too. Quinn provided energy and forward thinking alongside Glenn Whelan and James McCarthy in a three-man midfield. Being left-footed, he also brought balance to the centre of the park. He was given the ultimate compliment by the manager when he was rested for the 7-0 stroll at home to Gibraltar in October so he would be ready to help stifle Germany a few days later. When he failed to start any of the four Hull games between the 1-1 draw in Gelsenkirchen and the November date with Scotland, it was no surprise Quinn was left on the bench at Celtic Park before being introduced in the second half. And while his last start in the Premier League came on January 18, circumstances may dictate that he is in the reckoning to line out against Poland on Sunday. Jeff Hendrick has been unable to join up with the squad at all through injury while Darron Gibson returned to Everton on Wednesday because of his groin complaint. Quinn, though, isn\u2019t feeling as if he\u2019s a shoo-in to step back into the starting XI. \u2018I don\u2019t think you can ever [think like that], there are lads who have been here a long time and you can never rest on your laurels. You have to come back and show the manager you\u2019re willing and able, and are still working hard for a place,\u2019 he insisted. Quinn made his last start in the Premier League on January 18 . \u2018No one is guaranteed a starting spot, the squad is stronger than ever with some great additions and the manager will have some headaches.\u2019 Poland may be the group leaders having set the cat amongst the pigeons by beating Germany, but the Dubliner maintains Ireland must be the ones to set the tempo and impose themselves on the visitors. \u2018Every game is a must-win game, you want to win all these games and try to get as good a lead as possible. But it doesn\u2019t work like that with such a tough and strong group,\u2019 said Quinn. \u2018It is a big game, we know how big it is, there\u2019s no point in beating around the bush. But we\u2019ll go out and do our best. \u2018We\u2019ll leave no stone unturned and do all our tactics, and then we\u2019ll go out and do our job.

'I'd certainly be disappointed if we don't win the West Indies series, because I am pretty sure the West Indies are going to have a mediocre team. 'A lot of their stars are going to be playing in the Indian Premier League anyway, not in the Tests, so we should win that series.'

Together, Asian and Formosan subterranean termites, are responsible for much of the estimated $40 billion in economic losses attributed to termites annually. The Formosan termites originated in China but now are established throughout the Southeast and blamed for roughly $300m in property damage each year in New Orleans alone. Asian termites normally found in tropical south-eastern Asia have spread to Brazil, the Caribbean and south Florida. Asian termites are not expected to spread farther north in the US than south Florida because they do not tolerate colder weather/ . However, a hybrid might be able to thrive in a greater range than either species alone. Their habitat ranges overlap in lush south Florida, already home to a daunting number of invasive plant and animal species thriving where they should not. Each termite invaded Florida several decades ago, but experts believed the colonies didn't mingle because their above ground mating swarms launched in different months. That is, until University of Florida researcher Thomas Chouvenc noticed something unusual about the termite swarms in his Fort Lauderdale neighbourhood two years ago. The two species were flying around looking for mates at the same time \u2013 and they were giving each other that look. The research is preliminary and leaves many questions unanswered, but the idea of a hybrid termite carrying the destructive capabilities of two invasive species worries experts. 'That's big news,' said Matthew Messenger, an entomologist at the US Department of Agriculture. 'They're two bad ones, too.' Chouvenc is the lead author of a study published this week i the journal Plos One detailing observations of Asian and Formosan termite swarms in downtown Fort Lauderdale. In the field, including Chouvenc's own yard, researchers documented the two species swarming at the same time and in the same places. The same behaviour was documented again last year, and Chouvenc said he is seeing again this spring. 'What we didn't expect to see was when they're in the same place at the same time, we saw the male Asian subterranean termites looking for the female Formosan termites in the field,' Chouvenc said.

The Ministry of Defense has ordered 48 of the aircraft and they are the only fighter jets set to launch off two planned British aircraft carriers - the HMS Queen Elizabeth and the HMS Prince of Wales. The F-35 program has been plagued by massive cost overruns and delays.

BLOODBATH: Clinton faced bruising questions on Tuesday at the United Nations from a crush of reorters fixated on 'email-gate' The timing of O'Malley's jab is notable. Clinton is embroiled in controversy about her use of a private email account for her entire four years as secretary of state, and her Tuesday press conference did little to quell the furor. But O'Malley seemed to dismiss the growing scandal. Even if the federal government had an iron-clad retention policy that covered every agency, he said, it's not the sort of thing he wants to campaign on. 'None of that would make a hill of difference,' O'Malley insisted, to Americans struggling to make ends meet in a time of slow economic growth. Clinton's never-ending email story is 'not the issue that's going to restore our economy,' the former governor said. 'People don't care so much about email policies.' Still, he said it was 'important' for the former secretary of state to follow federal laws and regulations. A New York Times report Thursday said that congressional Democrats are still desperate for Mrs. Clinton to run in 2016, saying she is 'simply too big to fail.' While she tops all polls on who Democrats would pick for president, O'Malley countered the notion that the most powerful woman in American politics was a lock for the nomination. And he stressed that if he threw his hat in the ring, he would not be aiming for a consolation prize like the vice presidency or a cabinet post. 'I would be running not only to win but to govern well, to make the case to the people of the country there are better choices we can make together that will make wages go up and to make college more affordable for our kids again,' O'Malley said.

+{"article": "TSA agents allowed a convicted felon and former member of a domestic terrorist group to pass through an expedited security line, Homeland Security's internal watchdog has revealed. The passenger, whose identity has not been released, has served years in prison for murder and offenses involving explosives, the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General's Office said as it revealed the 'significant aviation security breach' in a statement on Thursday night. The watchdog was asked to investigate the June 2014 incident last October after a whistleblower came forward. It did not release specific details of the passenger's criminal history or where the incident took place. The passenger, who is a U.S. citizen, had not registered for the TSA's PreCheck program, but if they had, they would have been rejected because of their convictions, the office said in the statement. 'Significant security breach': A passenger who has convictions for murder and offenses involving explosives was allowed to pass through the TSA's PreCheck line (file picture) despite an agent recognizing them . Instead, they were selected for the screening through the Secure Flight program's 'risk assessment rules', the watchdog said. The program compares information the traveler has given their airline with information from the Terrorist Screening Database, No Fly lists and other intelligence-based systems to determine if they can board the plane and to identify low-risk passengers for expedited screening. After determining a passenger can be pre-screened, it allows them to print documents carrying the PreCheck sign. The TSA was unable to show the traveler's vetting results because they are deleted seven days after travel, the Inspector General's Office said. When the passenger reached the airport, an agent looked at their documents. 'After checking the traveler's boarding pass and identification, an alert Transportation Security officer at the airport recognized the felon and alerted his supervisor,' the watchdog said, CNN reported. 'However, the supervisor directed the [officer] to take no action and allow the traveler to continue through the TSA pre-check lane.' As part of the PreCheck system, the passenger - who has a criminal history involving explosives - would not have had to take off their shoes or jackets or remove liquids from their carry-on luggage. Investigation: The TSA responded that all passengers, including those with PreCheck tickets, are subject to 'robust' checks. It is not known where the June 2014 breach took place . The incident was brought to the attention of the Inspector General's Office's after a whistleblower went to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, an independent federal investigative agency. A classified report was issued to TSA detailing the need to make changes to the PreCheck vetting and screening process. On Thursday, the TSA said in a statement that it 'takes its responsibility for protecting the traveling public very seriously'. 'All passengers, including those with TSA PreCheck on boarding passes, are subject to a robust security approach that employs multiple layers of security, both seen and unseen,' it said. The TSA added that the success of its pre-screening system relies on the intelligence and national law enforcement communities identifying passengers they believe to", "summary": "The unidentified passenger had convictions for murder and offenses related to explosives, said Homeland Security's Inspector General's Office .

+{"article": "Charles Darwin himself described them as the 'strangest animals ever discovered' and was baffled as to how they could have evolved. Now scientists have unraveled a 180 year old mystery of the evolutionary origins of South America's hooved mammals that died out 10,000 years ago. The continents native ungulates - hooved animals - have baffled palaeontologists as they share traits with rodents, elephants and camels. The four-legged Macrauchenia patachonica, shown in the artists impression above, has baffled scientists since fossils of the species, which died out around 10,000 years ago, were found by Charles Darwin 180 years ago . But now by analysing the proteins preserved in fossilised bones, scientists have been able to show that the animals are more closely related to modern horses. The technique they used also promises to reveal new information about other long-extinct fossilised species. Fossils of an ancient primate found in the Amazon may be the first monkey to have traveled from Africa across the Atlantic Ocean to South America. The discovery suggest that monkeys first arrived in South America nearly 10 million years earlier than previously thought. Scientists believe the first primates traveled to South America, which was once an isolated island before it joined to North America three million years ago, from Africa on natural rafts that drifted across the Atlantic ocean. The two groups of primates then evolved separately to create distinct families of primates. However, evidence for when this epic journey occurred has been patchy and the oldest fossil of a monkey found in the New World was 26 million years old found in Bolivia. But now fossilised teeth, found on a riverbank in a remote part of the Amazon in Peru, that have been dated at 36 million years old suggest the crossing from Africa may have occurred far earlier. A reconstruction of the 38 million year old Perupithecus ucayalensis (left) found in South America is shown above alongside a species it closely resembled - Talahpithecus parvus, that lived in Libya 39 milion years ago . Unlike DNA, proteins can be better preserved within fossilised remains. The scientists say it could allow them to look back in time 10 times farther than current techniques using ancient DNA. Dr Ross MacPhee, a curator at the American Museum of Natural History's department of mammalogy and one of the authors of the study, said: 'Fitting South American ungulates to the mammalian family tree has always been a major challenge for palaeontologists, because anatomically they were these weird mosaics, exhibiting features found in a huge variety of quite unrelated species living all over the place . 'This is what puzzled Darwin and his collaborator Richard Owen so much in the early 19th century. 'With all of these conflicting signals, they couldn\u2019t say whether these ungulates were related to giant rodents, or elephants, or camels\u2014or what have you.'

One of its prototype delivery drones is pictured . \u2018I had some people from Amazon coming to see me the other day; they want to replace van deliveries with drone deliveries, and they can\u2019t do any trials in the US because they\u2019re over-regulated,\u2019 he said. \u2018So my favourite word is deregulation, and we need to make sure that wherever you are in the world, and if you want to innovate and you want to invest in this sort of technology, come to the UK because we\u2019re here to help you.' The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the US last week approved Amazon\u2019s plan to begin testing drones for online deliveries, though the e-commerce firm first made the request in July last year. But in the time it took to approve the use of its first-generation drone, Amazon has developed a new version, which makes the ruling 'obsolete'. So the firm is setting its sights on foreign markets. The project, called Amazon Prime Air, was first revealed in a YouTube video in late 2013. The company is developing drones that can fly at speeds of 50 miles per hour (80 kph), operate autonomously and sense and avoid objects. Amazon\u2019s Paul Misener wrote in a letter to the FAA in December: \u2018Without approval of our testing in the United States, we will be forced to continue expanding our Prime Air R&D footprint abroad.\u2019 Under US law, operating drones for commercial purposes is illegal, however it is allowed in the UK if permission is granted by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The FAA is said to be currently reviewing its rules on drones, with new regulations expected to be announced in the near future. Amazon is developing aerial vehicles as part of Amazon Prime Air. The aircraft can travel at more than 50mph and carry loads of up to 5 pounds (2kg). About 86 per cent of Amazon's deliveries are five lbs or less, the company said. 'We believe customers will love it, and we are committed to making Prime Air available to customers worldwide as soon as we are permitted to do so,' Amazon has said. In the US, the flying of unmanned aircraft, including recreational drones, is banned above 400ft (122m). Any flight that takes place within five miles (8km) of an airport can also only occur once air traffic control has been notified. The UK\u2019s CAA has laid out guidelines for drone users that specify that unmanned aircraft must always be flown within", "summary": "Transport minister Robert Goodwill confirmed Amazon asked for the trial . He seemed to encourage the trials and innovation in Britain .

When Southampton asked Dyke at the clubs\u2019 summit if he was going to force it through \u2014 as the FA could \u2014 he denied he\u2019d said that.

Scudamore, Dyke and Grant were each accompanied by at least two of their PR team or policy advisors, all spinning like tops over a supposedly joint initiative. It was likened to a three-legged stool by Scudamore, who added: \u2018They fall over if any one of the legs gets sawn off.\u2019 The three speeches at the UEFA Congress from Sepp Blatter\u2019s challengers for the FIFA presidency do not seem to have had much impact on voters.

A prize-winning Irish Setter allegedly 'murdered' at Crufts was actually poisoned after he returned to his home country of Belgium, according to The Kennel Club. Three-year-old Jagger collapsed and died at his owner's home in Tongeren, Belgium, 24 hours after winning a silver medal in his class at the world's biggest dog show. His devastated owner Aleksandra Lauwers, 34, was convinced the pedigree dog must have been given the beef laced with poison at the event - as it was the only time the dog was alone. But The Kennel Club, which runs Crufts, said toxicology reports revealed the fast-acting poison was consumed 28 hours after the dog show. Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said two types of insecticides - called aldicarb and carbofuran - were to blame for Jagger's death. She said: 'There has been a lot of concern about whether the poisoning happened at Crufts and we are now able to reassure all dog lovers who came to Crufts that this could not have been possible and it is highly likely that the poisons, thought to be on a piece of beef, were eaten in Belgium, shortly before Jagger's death. 'We have had confirmation, including from independent toxicologists, that the poisons identified in the toxicology report - carbofuran and aldicarb - are fast acting. 'Severe clinical symptoms would usually occur within half an hour to three hours. 'Considering we are told that Jagger showed the first clinical signs usually associated with these two poisons shortly before his death in Belgium, late on Friday March 6 night, leading to the immediate call for veterinary attention, we must conclude that it is inconceivable that he could have been poisoned at Crufts on Thursday March 5, some 28 to 36 hours earlier.' She said the poison was believed to have been given on a piece of beef that was largely undigested when the autopsy was performed on Saturday March 7 - the day Jagger died. The Club Secretary then pointed out that food is usually absorbed in dogs within six hours. Three-year-old Jagger collapsed and died at his owner's home in Tongeren, Belgium, 24 hours after winning a silver medal in his class at world's biggest dog show, pictured with Aleksandra Lauwers's son Jeremy . Her comments were made amid fears that at least six dogs were deliberately poisoned at the world famous show. But she said there was no evidence that any of the dogs taken ill at Crufts were actually given poison while at the show. 'We must stress that despite reports to the contrary which have caused a lot of concern to dog lovers, absolutely no dog has been shown to have been sick at or after Crufts due to poison ingested at the show, there are no veterinary reports or evidence to support this notion, and no official reports of poisoning have been made to the police,' she said.

It was paid for 558 successes \u2013 but nearly a third of these proved to be faked. The cost to the public purse was around \u00a3288,000. The scam was based on a programme called Inspire to Aspire and designed to assist single parents in the Thames Valley to find jobs. It earned A4e more than \u00a31.3million between August 2008 and June 2011. Some of the employees received considerable bonuses in their monthly pay packets as a result of their fakery. Genuine jobseekers whose names were used for the fraud when they did not in fact take part in the scheme may have had their benefits reduced or stopped. Passing sentence at Reading Crown Court, Judge Morris attacked the failure of A4e managers to impose checks on whether claims submitted to the DWP were valid. \u2018The lack of any independent verification procedure in this case allowed a number of employees to engage in deceitful and unscrupulous practices for their own or another\u2019s financial gain at the expense of the public purse,\u2019 she said. A whistleblower alerted senior management to the fraud in November 2010, but files continued to be forged until March 2011. The judge said \u2018innumerable\u2019 files were \u2018nothing more than wholesale forgeries from start to finish\u2019. Staff members at A4e forged client signatures, time sheets and employers' details to make it look like they had got more people through back-to-work courses and into jobs between 2008 and 2011 . The judge added: \u2018In this case there is a considerable volume of documents which have been totally fabricated, manipulated, back-dated or altered in other ways in an effort to give a wholly misleading impression about the way that the contract was being implemented.\u2019 A4e recruiter Julie Grimes, 52, from Staines, Surrey, who was jailed for 26 months, was put under huge pressure to meet unrealistic targets by managers who did not care how she met them, the court heard. Her barrister Steven Pidcock said: \u2018She was immersed in a culture of dishonesty that she didn\u2019t have the moral fibre to resist. \u2018It doesn\u2019t start", "summary": "Ten workers from employment firm A4e found guilty of large-scale fraud .

+{"article": "The taxman enjoys a \u2018cosy\u2019 relationship with the accountants who help multinationals avoid billions in tax, a damning report will claim today. A powerful committee of MPs claims weak law enforcement means tax avoidance \u2013 and evasion \u2013 remains \u2018a risk worth taking\u2019. The Public Accounts Committee said HM Revenue and Customs is failing to sufficiently tackle \u2018widespread\u2019 tax avoidance by US giants, including Starbucks, Google and Amazon. Margaret Hodge, chair of the Public Accounts Committee, said HMRC needs to come down hard on companies who use artificial overseas offices to avoid tax, and the firms that advise them . They must also do more to challenge the accountancy firms which help these multinationals to dodge their liabilities, the group will say. Major corporations have been accused of funnelling billions of pounds through tax havens such as Luxembourg and Ireland to reduce their bill. They are accused of exploiting a loophole which enables them to pay tax in the country where they are based, rather than where they sell their goods. By setting up \u2018artificial\u2019 offices in low-tax countries, they are able to pay a much lower annual levy on their profits. Today, the PAC will say that the taxman must do more to \u2018challenge\u2019 these tactics, saying: \u2018HMRC needs to show that it comes down hard on tax cheats and change the perception that it is far too tolerant of those who break the law by hiding their income. \u2018The current system still causes the odds to be stacked in favour of tax evaders using offshore accounts when the worst that will happen if they are caught is that they will pay the tax they owe and a fine.\u2019 Amazon, Starbucks and Vodaphone have all previously been found to funnel profits through tax havens, despite earning that money in the UK . It added: \u2018HMRC has not been sufficiently challenging of the manifestly artificial tax arrangements of multinationals.\u2019 The report was critical of large UK accountancy firms, such as Pricewaterhouse Coopers, which it claimed advised many multinationals on how to pay less tax in the UK through the use of complex schemes. They accused HMRC of not doing enough to \u2018challenge\u2019 this tax advice and instead focusing on the multinationals themselves. Margaret Hodge, chair of the Public Accounts Committee and a Labour MP, said: \u2018We remain concerned that HMRC\u2019s relationship with these large accountancy firms is too cosy, and it needs to get much tougher in challenging the advice they give to their clients. \u2018It is disappointing that HMRC has rejected our recommendation for a tougher code of conduct for tax advisers - a response which is out of kilter with its wider policy to clamp down on aggressive tax avoidance. \u2018Furthermore, we do not believe there are enough prosecutions for tax evasion to act as an effective deterrent to those who break the law. As it stands, tax avoidance \u2013 and even evasion \u2013 can be a risk worth taking. \u2018We are not persuaded that HMRC and the Crown Prosecution Service are doing enough to prosecute serious tax evasion cases.\u2019", "summary": "Public Accounts Committee said HMRC is failing to tackle tax avoidance .

Australian actor Damon Gameau reintroduced sugar into his diet after three years with shocking results . Coca-Cola Life (left) comes in a green can and although it has less sugar than regular Coca-Cola (right) it still contains six teaspoons of sugar . Dr Rooney highlighted research carried out in the eighties where rats were given a sugar solution, a saccharin [artificial sweetener] solution and only drank a certain amount. But when the rats were given both sugar and saccharin mixed together they drank more than they normally would. \u2018It\u2019s called a super mix, a little bit of sugar and sweetener drives over consumption\u2026 if this translates to the human population then that is fantastic for Coke\u2019s profit line,\u2019 Dr Rooney said.

He noted Coke would have done a great amount of market research before they launched the product.

I can understand how on some superficial level at least that it is seen as a healthier product. \u2018But people should be aware that a sugar sweetened beverage is still an excessive calorie product with no nutritional benefits,\u2019 he said. Dr Rooney explained that \u2018liquid calories\u2019 are the worst type of calorie source because the body metabolises them differently to solid food. \u2018If you are looking to improve health the very first step is to remove your liquid calories,\u2019 Dr Rooney said. The best drinks to consume are water and milk, he advised. And when it comes to Coke\u2019s claims that they are trying to help battle the obesity epidemic, Dr Rooney said it is \u2018disingenuous, duplicitous and highly inappropriate for Coke to frame their products as healthy.\u2019 Dr Rooney said it is 'disingenuous, duplicitous and highly inappropriate' for Coke products to be marketed as healthy .

A carer stole thousands of pounds from the 90-year-old dementia victim she was supposed to be looking after finding her PIN written in her diary. Vicky Marks left her frail victim Joan Groucher 'heartbroken' by abusing her trust to plunder \u00a34,200 from her bank account over a seven-month period. The victim was so upset by the crime that she has had to leave her home in Croydon, south London and move into sheltered accommodation. Marks, 59, visited Mrs Groucher twice a week and stole her bank card so she could withdraw large amounts of cash, using the code written in the elderly woman's diary. She even stole money while Mrs Groucher was ill in hospital, Croydon Crown Court heard. Sentencing Marks to 12 months in jail, Recorder Silas Reid told her: 'The victim was in her nineties, had problems with dementia, and, effectively, you inveigled your way into her family.' He added: 'It's still unclear to me why you would do that to someone of that age, why you would cause her that much pain, which, in the end, wasn't really for that much money. 'But time and time again you took her card and took money from her account. It seems almost every time you went to her house you would have taken money.' Mrs Groucher, who has four children and eight grand-children, had lived at the same house for around 30 years, but she was so distressed by the crime that her dementia deteriorated and she had to move into care. 'One of the features of this case which is disturbing is that she had to leave her home,' Mr Reid said. In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mrs Groucher said: 'I know Vicky does not have a mother, but that is no reason to do what she did. 'You were trusted by me and I'm heartbroken. It's disgusting what Vicky did to me. It worries me she could have done it to other people.' Paul Fairley, prosecuting, told the court that Mrs Groucher paid Marks \u00a310 every time she visited. The thief's deception was found out when Mrs Groucher's daughter Caroline Baldwin, 70, saw that there was money missing from her bank account in July last year. Hearing: Croydon Crown Court (above) heard Marks even stole money while Mrs Groucher was ill in hospital . 'She noticed there was \u00a32,000, or \u00a33,000 less than what there should have been,' Mr Fairley said. Mrs Baldwin then took a closer look at her mother's bank statement and noticed 'a pattern of sums of \u00a3100 and \u00a3200 withdrawn over a significant period of time', he added. She notified the police who checked CCTV footage from the Lloyd's Bank branch in Croydon and identified Marks withdrawing \u00a3100 from the victim's account the previous day. Marks, from Coulsdon in Surrey, was arrested and pleaded guilty to fraud at an earlier hearing.

The unidentified woman cries in pain as her bone apparently snaps, moments after she lifts a heavy weight using a leg press. A leg press is a machine used in strength or resistance training. It requires a person to push weight away therefore engaging their leg muscles. But when the woman she is halfway through her second repetition, having already lifted the weight, she relaxes her leg while it is extended, rather than keeping her knee bent to support the weight. The unidentified woman screams in agony as her leg bone snaps. She was using a leg press machine at the gym, in which she was pushing away weights with her leg muscles . But the weight is too heavy and bears down on her leg, forcing it to bend the wrong way. The force causes a painful injury to her leg. While the woman writhes in agony, a man standing nearby in a suit watching her workout rushes to help. While it is unclear what exactly injury she sustained, an expert told MailOnline she could have fractured the tibia (the bone between the knee and ankle) or the femur (bone that extends from the pelvis to the knee). It is also possible she sustained an injury to the posterior cruciate ligament, the strongest ligament in the knee. Sammy Margo, a chartered physiotherapist said: \u2018On the second repetition, her leg went into hyperextension, which means the ligaments go beyond themselves and the knee has bent back on itself. \u2018She could have torn her posterior cruciate ligament,' she said.

Don't lock the knees or relax when the leg is extended. Slowly allow the platform to lower back to its starting position by bending the knees in a controlled manner. Make sure heels are always touching the plate, the knees are not bowing outwards or inwards and ensure the head is steady. Start with a modest weight and progress to a higher weight if comfortable.

The final of the showpiece event in Qatar is to be on Sunday, December 18 - a decision which will allow traditional Boxing Day club matches to take place in Britain and avoid the fierce heat of June and July. It will be a shortened tournament over 28 days instead of the usual 32, starting on November 21. December 18 is also Qatar's national day. Manuel Pellegrini has expressed concern over the plans to play the Qatar 2022 World Cup in winter . The Manchester City manager watches on during his side's 1-0 defeat by Barcelona on Wednesday night . However, Pellegrini is concerned how Premier League games, which would usually be scheduled for November and December, will be caught up later in the season and the impact of doing so on the next domestic campaign. 'I think it is difficult to stop all the European leagues in that month, especially in our league at this moment, and not play football here in November and December,' Pellegrini said. 'When you recover those amount of games what will happen in the next season, when you finish late, how many days the national squad will need their players? 'I don't think it is easy. It is a big task.' Swansea manager Garry Monk echoed Pellegrini's thoughts, but conceded that teams would just have to 'get on with it'.

'It's beyond the powers of Swansea City, but I can't imagine too many teams are happy with it. But it sounds as if we're just going to have to get on with it.' Everton boss Roberto Martinez conceded the tournament moving to November would need plenty of adaptation, but he always expected a World Cup in Qatar to be held over the winter. 'You need clarity and then you can prepare towards that,' Martinez said. 'But I always felt that once it was given to Qatar it was going to be a winter World Cup. 'When all the talk is about wanting the World Cup in different continents and different countries, and when the hosts are going to be Qatar, it's only normal that it's going to be played in the winter.

But a blind man and a double amputee have overcome their disabilities by becoming each other's eyes and hands. Jia Haixa and Jia Wenqi embarked on their heart-warming partnership 10 years ago after finding they were unable to secure jobs due to their respective impairments. Together they have created their own unique way of working that has allowed them to transform a three-hectare stretch of riverbank, according to The People's Daily online. Team work: Blind Jia Haixa and double amputee Jia Wenqi have found a unique way of working together . Helping hand: In the last 10 years the friends have become the eyes and hands for each other in the rural village of Hebei, China . Partnership working: Blind Mr Haixa scales a tree with the help of Mr Wenqi, so that he can find fresh cuttings to plant in the ground . 'I am his hands,' said blind Mr Haixia. 'He is my eyes. We are good partners.' The 53-year-old was born with congenital cataracts which left him blind in his left eye. Then in 2000, due to a work accident, he also lost the sight in his right eye. Mr Wenqi, also 53, lost both arms in an accident when he was just three-years-old. In 2001, unable to secure work elsewhere, the eco-warriors leased a large stretch of the river bank from the local government in a bid to plant trees for future generations. The proud pair also hoped to earn a modest income from their work from government funding and help protect their village from flooding in the process. Each day the dedicated pair leave their home at 7am armed with only a hammer and iron rod. Before they can start their work Mr Wenqi has to carry his blind companion across a fast moving river. Without money to buy saplings, they then have to collect cuttings. This is no easy task and involves Mr Haixa scaling large trees. Without the use of his eyes, he is guided by his armless companion as he hauls himself through the branches. Back on solid ground, he then creates a hole and plants the new shoot. It then becomes Mr Wenqi's job to water the saplings. It hasn't been fast work, but now the three hectare site is covered with trees that attract a large number of birds. In total the duo believe they have planted 10,000 trees in a decade and have no plans to stop. 'Though we did not accomplish much in a dozens years, we recognize our effort,' said Mr Haixia. Mr Wenqi added: 'We stand on our own feet. The fruits of our labor taste sweeter. Even though we are gnawing on steam buns, we find peace in our hearts.'

Five years ago the coalition deal was agreed in just five days, but with a hung parliament likely again, it is expected that any power-sharing agreement could take much longer, possibly even several weeks. Sir Jeremy told the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee: 'The reality is what Gordon Brown did last time I think was generally applauded, not in every single quarter. 'But the idea that you would stay in Downing Street until it was pretty clear who would be better placed than you to form another government, that's what he did, that's what happened and we ended up with a very smooth transition.

With the SNP on the rise in Scotland, the Lib Dems defending 57 seats and Ukip predicting they will win more than 10 seats, it is possible that no two parties would be able to form a majority. A coalition deal between three or more parties would take much longer to agree, and could prove unstable. Sir Jeremy added: 'I think it would be very unfair, particularly if it took slightly longer next time than just the five days it took last time, it would be very unfair if the incumbent prime minister was criticised for staying around in Downing Street when he was simply doing what most people would regard as the expectation placed upon him.'

+{"article": "A wave of migrants 4,500 years ago left their trace in the DNA and languages of modern Europeans. This is according to a study that found evidence of this Stone Age migration by analysing DNA of 69 people who lived across Europe between 8,000 and 3,000 years ago. Among the shifts in the genetic make-up of ancient Europeans they found that DNA associated with the Yamnaya people appeared strongly in what is now northern Germany. Researchers have identified a mass migration of Kurgan populations (Yamna culture) which went from the Russian steppes to the centre of Europe 4,500 years ago. Previously, researchers had believed it spread 8,500 years ago, when the first farmers from the Near East, now modern day Turkey, brought it to Europe . There are two main theories as to how Indo-European languages spread in Europe. The first is the Anatolian hypothesis, which claims spread of the language occurred some 8,500 years ago, when the first farmers from the Near East (currently Turkey) brought it to Europe. The Kurgan hypothesis, meanwhile, proposes that the language was spread by nomadic herders of the steppes found to the north of the Black and Caspian Sea. This theory suggests their language spread throughout Europe after the invention of wheeled vehicles, from 6,000 to 5,000 years ago. The Yamnaya were herders who lived in the steppe north of the Black and Aral Seas. This injection of DNA indicates 'a massive migration into the heartland of Europe from its eastern periphery,' said the researchers, led by David Reich of Harvard Medical School. Such a large-scale influx would likely have affected not just the DNA but ancient cultures as well. Although genes can't determine what people spoke, the researchers argue that their findings could influence the debate about the origins of Indo-European tongues. Indo-European languages include more than 400 tongues, from modern languages such as English and Polish to ancient languages like Hittite and Sanskrit. Basque, which is spoken in south-west France and northern Spain, is not Indo-European, and may be the only surviving relic of earlier languages once spoken more widely, according to the BBC. Linguists have long debated whether Indo-European languages came to Europe with farmers migrating from the Middle East or some other group, such as the Yamnaya. Previously, researchers had believed that Indo-European language spread some 8,500 years ago, when the first farmers from the Near East, now modern day Turkey, brought it to Europe. The latest study suggests that Europe was first reshaped at this time in what archaeologists call the Neolithic Revolution. Farmers from Anatolia travelled north, bringing new technology and language into Europe. This was followed by a second wave of people several thousand years later from what is today Ukraine and Russia. The latest study suggests that Europe was first reshaped during the Neolithic Revolution 8,500 years ago. Farmers at this time travelled north, bringing new technology and language into Europe.

The woman prefaced the question by pointing out that Margolyes had previously described former Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard as fascinating - and that she even went as far to say that Bob Hawke, another former Labor Prime Minister, was 'just ravishing'. The woman then asked if the actress had a similar opinion of the current leader which caused the studio to erupt into laughter.

+{"article": "Hundreds of sex offenders who are supposed to be closely monitored have been missing for up to 14 years - but police have refused to name dozens in case they breach their 'human rights'. Police forces across Britain have lost track of 396 registered sex offenders, including rapists and paedophiles, but they won't be identified in case it 'endangers their safety unnecessarily', one force said. The sex attackers are meant to be kept under close surveillance after being released from jail because many pose a 'risk of serious harm to the public'. Scotland Yard, the UK's largest force, has lost track of 167 sex offenders, including one who had been missing for 14 years . But figures released yesterday found that some have been missing for more than a decade. There are 23 from Greater Manchester are among the almost 400 missing nationally and police believe 11 have fled abroad and the other 12 are subject to 'periodic reviews' in a bid to trace them. But the force said today it would not name them to protect their rights. A spokesman said: 'It is not the policy of GMP or the Police Service of England and Wales to routinely name sex offenders whether they are missing or not as this would be a breach of their human rights. This also may endanger their safety unnecessarily and may also lead to the identification of victims.' Scotland Yard, the UK's largest force, has lost track of 167 sex offenders, including one who had been missing for 14 years. Among the missing is failed asylum seeker Patrick Mosekwe Kanda, 36, who was jailed in 1998 for raping a child. When the Congolese national was released in 2003 he was allowed to live at an address in Dagenham, East London, instead of being deported. Sara Payne, whose daughter Sarah was abducted and killed in 2000 by convicted paedophile Roy Whiting, said: 'It's completely unacceptable that any registered sex offenders have disappeared from authority management, putting the public at risk' Like other dangerous predators, Kanda was placed on the sex offenders register and was supposed to be monitored by police and probation officials. But Scotland Yard last month admitted it had lost track of the rapist two years ago and issued an appeal for information relating to his whereabouts. A spokesman for the Met force blamed London's 'diverse multicultural population' for losing so many sex offenders and admitted that many have probably fled the country. Last night Sara Payne, whose daughter Sarah was abducted and killed in 2000 by convicted paedophile Roy Whiting, said: 'It's completely unacceptable that any registered sex offenders have disappeared from authority management, putting the public at risk. 'It's time to take some serious pro-active action to bring them back under the police radar.' The NSPCC described the figures as 'alarming' and said there are 900 police staff currently responsible for monitoring 46,000 registered sex offenders. This equates to one officer being tasked with monitoring 51 sex criminals.

Louis became a regular sight at the cathedral after it adopted him as a stray ten years ago. His principal role was to rid the 12th century building of mice.

Almost half of new teachers leave the profession in their first year because of an excessive workload and 'exhausted and stressed colleagues', a union leader has warned. The number has tripled in six years, according to an analysis of figures by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL). The most recent statistics show that in 2011, around 10,800 newly-qualified teachers did not take up a teaching post \u2013 up from 3,600 in 2005. Around 40 per cent of newly-qualified teachers were not in the classroom after a year in 2011 \u2013 compared to 20 per cent in 2005. The latest figures have sparked fears of a 'crisis' in the profession. Mary Bousted, the ATL\u2019s general secretary, told the union\u2019s annual conference in Liverpool yesterday that an increased workload and bureaucracy had made teaching an unappealing profession. She spoke of a \u2018crisis of teacher supply\u2019 because trainee teachers are put off during work placements by the prospect of heavy workloads, excessive monitoring and poor pay. She added that would-be teachers are meeting more experienced teachers who tell them 'this is no career to enter'. Miss Bousted described teaching as being \u2018incompatible with a normal life\u2019 because it is \u2018monitored to within an inch of its life\u2019 due to the demands of heads keen to impress Ofsted inspectors. Dr Bousted told delegates that former education secretary Michael Gove said before he entered office that teachers should be highly valued and he wanted to give the profession more freedom over how to teach. 'If that was Michael Gove's intention, and I am sure that was his honest intention, how is it at the end of the coalition's term in office that not only are record numbers of teachers leaving the profession mid-career, but there is also a crisis of teacher supply?' she said. 'This crisis is happening right at the very start of teachers' careers. Teachers are leaving in their first year, or not starting teaching when they have completed their training.; . She added: 'Why are we losing the next generation of teachers - that new blood for the profession which should be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, full of promise and ambition?

But now the Wisconsin Republican calls that position 'amnesty' and says his view has changed. 'I don't believe in amnesty,' Walker told Fox News Sunday. 'My view has changed. I'm flat out saying it. Candidates can say that.' Walker, who emerged this past week in the top tier of potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination for 2016, says the U.S. needs to secure the border and ultimately put in place 'a legal immigration system that works.' That means, in part, putting the onus on employers and getting them the tools to do that, like E-Verify, an existing federal program that allows businesses to check the immigration status of new hires, Walker said. Walker told the Wausau, Wisconsin, Daily Herald newspaper in 2013 that 'it makes sense' when he was asked whether he could see a world where 'those people' could get citizenship, with the right penalties, waiting periods and requirements in place. At the time, he supported a bipartisan approach to overhauling immigration, with people waiting to get citizenship having priority and others having a legal pathway to live here legally. Walker also said Sunday that President Barack Obama or 'anybody else who is willing to put their name on the ballot certainly has to have the love for country to do that.'

It is one of several non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) examinations that promise greater accuracy for women at high risk of having a Down\u2019s baby. Eventually such NIPT tests will be routinely used to reassure all pregnant women. Current screening for Down\u2019s on the NHS consists of the less-accurate \u2018combined\u2019 test, which uses ultrasound to measure the amount of fluid at the back of the baby\u2019s neck at 11 weeks, as well as a blood test. Professor Basky Thilaganathan, consultant obstetrician at St George\u2019s, said the new test was the first to be regulated under the EU\u2019s health and safety standards. He said: \u2018Too many pregnant women have been through the anxiety and discomfort of invasive procedures after receiving false positive results [women wrongly identified as being at risk] from the combined test \u2013 the IONA test gives us the accuracy and reliability to reduce this number significantly.\u2019 Results will be given within days \u2013 compared to the two weeks it takes to send comparable tests abroad . A study by the UK National Screening Committee to check whether NIPT should be offered routinely on the NHS is underway, involving five hospitals, and is due to report later this year. Trials of another NIPT test offering expectant mothers 99 per cent accuracy in screening for Down\u2019s syndrome are being run by Great Ormond Street Hospital.

A club member added: 'Everyone was shocked to find out what happened to Rosie. She had her whole life in front of her. She was a lovely, hard-working girl who was always able to answer questions with a smile. She made people feel welcome.' Friends paid tribute to Miss Connolly, a member of Childs Hill gymnastics club who had performed in an international competition in Switzerland. Rosie's sister Hayley, 27, said at the family's home near the club that the family were too upset to talk about the death, the Evening Standard reported. She said : 'It's too raw for us.'

That is one of greatest solar mysteries, but astronomers will be hoping to find an answer on Friday - by observing the total solar eclipse from the North Pole. The plasma of the sun is only visible during a total eclipse, so the scientists will use this unique opportunity to try and solve the puzzling phenomena. And in an amazing coincidence, the eclipse will occur over the North Pole on the same day the sun comes into view after six months of polar night - an event which happens only once every 500,000 years. Scroll down for video . A team of scientists is travelling to Svalbard to observe the solar eclipse. They will use an array of instruments to look at the sun's corona . This is plasma around the sun that can only be seen during a total eclipse. Shown is an image of 1999's solar elcipse from France, with the corona visible around the edges . The team of scientists will be working at an old observatory on Svalbard, midway between continental Norway and the North Pole. They are travelling to this region to ensure they see totality - 100 per cent of the sun being covered by the moon during the eclipse. For observers in other regions, such as the UK, less than 90 per cent of the sun will be covered. The team at Svalbard, led by Professor Shadia Habbal, Professor of Solar Physics at the University of Hawaii, will include scientists from Aberystwyth University in Wales. They are Joe Hutton and Nathalia Alzate from the Solar System Physics Group at the Department of Physics at Aberystwyth University. They will join scientists from the US, Czech Republic and Germany as part of the 'Solar Wind Sherpas'. Up to 14 specially adapted cameras will be used to photograph the sun in different frequencies during the eclipse, capturing images of the plasma from the corona. In so doing, they will hope to solve the sun\u2019s greatest mystery. The temperature of the sun is known to be around 6,000\u00b0C (10,800\u00b0F), but for some reason the corona is around 1,000,000\u00b0C (1,800,000\u00b0F), and even reaches 2,000,000\u00b0C (3,600,000\u00b0F) in some areas. This factor of 300 difference would be akin to the flame of a fire being 300 times colder than the air around it - but why this is occurring is unknown. One potential reason could be magnetic forces on the sun, with superheated gas creating a strong magnetic field and funnelling energy into the corona, but this has not yet been confirmed.

Ministers were last night struggling to contain a spiralling row about highly contentious plans to bar 430,000 civil servants from talking to journalists. Critics raised concerns about a quiet change to the civil service code, which they warned could \u2018stifle whistleblowing\u2019 and open government. The code has been amended to include a new provision making clear that officials could be sacked if they speak out before checking with a minister. Downing Street was understood to have intervened in the row, forcing the Cabinet Office to offer a series of concessions. Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude agreed to redraft guidance to \u2018strengthen protection\u2019 for those speaking out to blow the whistle on scandals or abuses of public money, and include a commitment to being \u2018as open as possible\u2019 with Parliament and the public. However, that is unlikely to appease critics, who have asked why such a change has been enforced just before the general election campaign. It appears to have been agreed by Sir Jeremy Heywood, the Cabinet Secretary, who has been nicknamed Sir Cover-Up for preventing the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq War from seeing letters and records of phone calls between Tony Blair and George Bush. However, the impetus is understood to have come from ministers, who wanted to control the flow of information from departments to make clear that they, not civil servants, are ultimately in charge. A line has been added to the civil service code, which governs officials\u2019 conduct, saying: \u2018Ensure you have ministerial authorisation for any contact with the media.\u2019 Margaret Hodge, who chairs the Commons public accounts committee, said the Cabinet Office was \u2018using a sledgehammer to crack a nut\u2019.

Ministers point that out civil servants can blow the whistle on a major scandal using legal protections afforded to them in the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1988. But Dave Penman, general secretary of the FDA union that represents civil servants, said it was absurd to enforce a \u2018blanket ban\u2019 on all 430,000 civil servants having unauthorised contacts with journalists. Mr Penman: \u2018Civil servants will become worried about every contact they have with the media, and will be looking over their shoulder all the time when talking to the public \u2013 as that\u2019s who they are talking to through the media \u2013 about the service they deliver.\u2019 The Cabinet Office insist", "summary": "Critics say change to the civil service code could 'stifle whistleblowing' Ministers are currently struggling to contain row over contentious plans .

This is the equivalent amount of rock as that used to build the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. It is hard for scientists to say precisely when humans started making tools because the more primitive remains look like a natural object rather than a human artefact. The oldest-known instruments are the Oldowan stone tools from Ethiopia, which date back about 2.6 million years. The Acheulean tool technology period - up to 1.76 million years ago - featured large stone hand axes made from flint and quartzite. Towards the end of this period, the tools became more refined and then followed the so-called Levallois technique, which saw the creation of scrapers, slicers, needled and flattened needles. About 50,000 years ago more refined and specialised flint tools were made and used by Neanderthals and it is believed it was at this stage tools were constructed out of bone. As human culture advanced, artefacts such as fish hooks, buttons and bone needles were used. Cut marks have found on animal bones that have been dated to be 3.4 million years old - around the time that a squat ape-like ancestor called Australopithecus afarensis - known as Lucy - roamed Africa. The researchers behind the study claim their findings may force a rethink on how we define human history and the impact we have had on the environment. Dr Marta Miraz\u00f3n Lahr, a reader in human evolution at the University of Cambridge, said: 'The term 'anthropocene' is now used to denote the point at which humans began to have a significant effect on the environment. 'The critical time may well be the beginning of the industrial revolution about 200 years ago. 'Some talk of an 'early anthropocene' about 10,000 years ago when forests began being cleared for agriculture. 'Making stone tools, however, dates back more than two million years, and little research has been done on the impact of this activity. 'The Messak Settafet is the earliest demonstrated example of the scars of human activity across an entire landscape. 'The effects of our technology on the environment may be considerably older than previously thought.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal Public Library of Science One conducted a survey of the site in the Sahara in 2011 by randomly examining plots along the plateau of the Massak Settafet enscarpment. They sifted", "summary": "Archaeologists at the University of Cambridge found huge numbers of stone tools on the ground in Massak Settafet near Fezzan in southern Libya .

Scientists say it could be the earliest example of a man-made landscape . Pits and holes left by quarrying of stone helped attract animals to the area .

Specialty plates are big business in Texas, where drivers spent $17.6million last year to choose from among more than 350 messages the state allows. The state's Department of Motor Vehicles says nearly 877,000 vehicles among more than 19million cars, pickup trucks and motorcycles registered in Texas carry a specialty plate. But a state motor vehicle board turned down a request by the Texas division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans for a license plate with its logo bearing the battle flag, similar to plates issued by eight other states that were members of the Confederacy, as well as Maryland. Pictured above is the design of a proposed Sons of Confederate Veterans license plate. The Supreme Court will weigh a free-speech challenge to Texas's decision to refuse to issue a license plate bearing the Confederate battle flag . The justices are hearing arguments on Monday over whether the state violated the group's First Amendment rights. Texas commemorates the Confederacy in many ways, but it says that putting the battle flag on license plates would offend many Texans who believe the flag is a racially charged symbol of repression. The same image is etched on a century-old Civil War monument on the grounds of the state Capitol in Austin. The First Amendment dispute has brought together some unlikely allies, including the American Civil Liberties Union, anti-abortion groups, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, civil libertarian Nat Hentoff and conservative satirist P.J. O'Rourke. 'In a free society, offensive speech should not just be tolerated, its regular presence should be celebrated as a symbol of democratic health \u2014 however odorous the products of a democracy may be,' Hentoff, O'Rourke and others said in a brief backing the group. Sons of the Confederate Veterans claim that Texas is violating the group's First Amendment right of freedom of speech by not allowing them to have their logo, bearing the battle flag, on license places (file photo) The case could be important for how the Supreme Court determines whether the speech at issue belongs to private individuals or the government. Texas's main argument to the Supreme Court is that the license plate is not like a bumper sticker slapped on the car by its driver. Instead, the state said license plates are government property, and so what appears on them is not private individuals' speech but the government's. The First Amendment applies when governments try to regulate the speech of others, but not when governments are doing the talking. Sons of Confederate Veterans claim on the group's website that it 'is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes so that future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause' Even if the court disagrees that license plates are government speech, the state said its rejection of the Sons of Confederate Veterans license plate was not discriminatory.

The 28-year-old batsman was dropped in the first over before going on to score 237 off 163 balls - including 24 fours and 11 sixes, of which one found the roof of Wellington's Westpac Stadium in the final over. After posting the highest individual score in a World Cup match, Guptill left his team in an extremely strong position to win as they reached 393 for six. Guptill was undoubtedly the star of the opening innings - but he was given an extra life in the very first over. Just three balls in, Marlon Samuels dropped the Aucklander and Guptill thanked him by finding the first of his many boundaries before Brendon McCullum fell for 12 runs, West Indies captain Jason Holden rising to the occasion to take a stunning catch at deep cover. Guptill then survived two appeals for lbw, chipping away at the attack in between times, and he remained in place after West Indies claimed their second wicket in the 16th over. Kane Williamson had put on 33 before falling to Andre Russell, whose wide delivery ended up with Chris Gayle at short cover. Meanwhile Guptill was moving towards his half-century and reached it with a single from the last ball of the 20th over to put New Zealand on 105 for two. Nothing could stop the Derbyshire batsman and after making his seventh ODI hundred he took off his helmet and saluted the roaring capacity crowd. His ton had been put together with a steady succession of fours but his first six arrived in the 36th over as he carted Darren Sammy to wide long-on. Guptill was perhaps guilty of ball-watching when Ross Taylor was run out for 42 but, despite the fact the mistake would likely be overlooked due to his heroics, he made sure to atone for it by reaching his second 150 in ODIs with a single off Sulieman Benn. Corey Anderson was then caught by an off-pace delivery from Russell, shuffling across to pull the ball across to Gayle at midwicket for 15. Guptill's double-ton was within reach and he wasted no time gunning for it, achieving his personal best of 192 with a four off Russell before partner Grant Elliott was dismissed on review. The South Africa-born all-rounder had bolstered Guptill's charge with 27 runs off 11 balls, including two fours and two sixes, but he was given out despite appealing Taylor's claim for lbw. Guptill ignored that disappointment to fire a four that brought him to 199 and the brink of greatness. Then, from the first ball of the 48th over, he drilled Russell's delivery to long-off for a four that made World Cup history. The Black Caps would lose Luke Ronchi (nine) before the break, courtesy of Taylor's yorker that ended up with Benn, but Guptill was uncowed and ploughed on to register a mammoth score of 237.", "summary": "New Zealand posted score of 393 in World Cup quarter-final .

Locals walk along some of the 528 miles of beachfront in Somaliland that the country is keen to promote . Although not officially recognised as a country, Somaliland neighbours Djibouti, Ethiopia and Somalia . This association with Somalia is the reason western governments such as the UK and Canada call the self-proclaimed independent entity and former British protectorate a no-go zone, claim locals, but this isn't stopping Somaliland pushing to bring in the tourist dollar.

Abdinasir Ibrahim is the director of Somaliland Travel & Tours Agency, is keen to add to the handful of eager travellers who defy warnings to visit. He laments the slow increase in tourists over recent years - figures differ greatly from a few hundred to more than 1000 last year - due to the 'lack of recognition,' referring to the wait for the world to acknowledge Somaliland's existence. 'I believe that as soon we get international recognition the tourists will flock to our stunning beaches.' he tells MailOnline. The unofficial nation gained independence from Britain in 1960 before joining the former Italian Somaliland but the countries encountered strife under the rule of dictator Mohammad Siad Barre, whose regime killed tens of thousands of Somalilanders due to tribal connection during a brutal civil war from 1988.

A mechanic who lived a calm, quiet life with his elderly parents was all the time living a secret double life as a sex attacker. Clive Howard, 56, of Suffolk, has admitted carrying out a string of rapes and kidnaps of women during a 28 year period. The serial rapist confessed to the crimes after he was caught after raping a woman at a car park in Norwich when his number plate was recorded on CCTV. But police fear he may have carried out even more attacks across three different counties and have appealed for any victims to come forward. Detective Sergeant Chris Burgess, of Norfolk Police rape investigation unit said: 'Cases like this don't come up very often - we're talking about a serial rapist. 'We want to give people the chance to come forward.' Howard, who lived a double life with his parents, had initially denied the rape in Norwich but changed his plea on the day of his trial. At a hearing at Norwich Crown Court he admitted seven counts of rape, three charges of attempted kidnap and one count of attempted rape, between 1986 and 2014. Howard, of Battisford, near Stowmarket, Suffolk, was caught by police after he attacked a woman in St Helens Wharf car park, Norwich, on May 30 2014.

She tried to take a picture of the car's registration number but Howard grabbed her phone and hurled it into a bush before he sped off. The woman found it before dialling 999. Police were able to get part of the car's number plate from CCTV - and that led them straight to Howard, the registered owner. He was arrested and charged a few days later. Det Sgt Burgess said Howard had done 'two to three loops' around the city 'before he managed to pick his victim'. After he was charged Howard's DNA was put into the national police database which raised an unsolved case in Cambridgeshire in 2013. Howard was caught after part of his Volvo number plate was captured on CCTV after he raped a woman .

The woman managed to fend off Howard, scratching him in the process, and DNA was later retrieved from underneath her fingernail. He was linked to three other attempted kidnappings in Cambridge, one of which happened just 30 minutes before he struck in Christ's Pieces.

Children offered a sip of their parents\u2019 wine at parties and social occasions are more likely to start drinking by their mid-teens, researchers warn. A study has found that those who had sipped alcohol by the age of 11 were five times more likely to have had a full drink within a couple of years, and four times more likely to have binged or been drunk than peers who had not tasted alcohol at an early age. The study was carried out in the US where, say researchers, some parents try to lessen the taboo appeal of drinking by following the \u2018European model\u2019 of introducing young children to alcohol under supervision at home. Lead researcher Kristina Jackson, of Brown University in Rhode Island, said: \u2018Our study provides evidence to the contrary.\u2019 Previous research suggests parental attitudes are one of the most important factors involved in when teens start drinking. A survey of UK schoolchildren found witnessing drinking at home and seeing their parents get drunk raises the risk of children having an alcoholic drink by the age of 13. In the American study, 561 Rhode Island middle-school students were surveyed periodically over three years. At the beginning of sixth grade \u2013 around the age of 11 \u2013 almost 30 per cent of pupils said they had sipped alcohol. In most cases, their parents provided it \u2013 often at a party or other special occasion. By the time the students reached the ages of 14 and 15, one in four early \u2018sippers\u2019 said they had had a full alcoholic drink, compared with 6 per cent of those who had not. Almost one in ten of early sippers had got drunk or binged \u2013 compared with just under 2 per cent of \u2018non-sippers\u2019, says a report in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. Researchers accounted for several factors which influence under-age drinking, including parents\u2019 drinking habits and any history of alcoholism, as well as tendencies among the children to be impulsive and take risks. Even then there was still a connection between early sipping and risky drinking by high school, said Dr Jackson. She said it was possible little tastes of alcohol sent young children a mixed message because some may have difficulty understanding the difference between a sip of wine and having a full drink. She stressed parents should not be alarmed if they had already let their child have a taste of wine, adding: \u2018We\u2019re not saying your child is doomed.\u2019 Dr Paul Wallace, of the charity Drinkaware, said: \u2018Alcohol can harm children while they are still developing which is why the UK chief medical officers say an alcohol-free childhood as the best option. \u2018It\u2019s best to talk to your child about the risks associated with drinking.

Atmel has released its latest microcontrollers (MCUs) for a variety of gadgets that are so low power they can even harvest energy from a person's body. Atmel said its MCUs extend 'battery life from years to decades, reducing the number of times batteries need to be changed in devices' The ultra-low power SAM L microcontrollers are part of Atmel's 32-bit ARM-based MCU range. These are all powered by chip maker ARM's Cortex M0+ 32-bit processors. A number of Apple devices, including the iPhone 5S and iPad Air are powered by chips based around ARM technology. During a demonstration of the microcontrollers to ARMDevices.net at this year's CES, Andreas Eieland, Atmel's director of product marketing demonstrated how he could power a radio by placing his hand on a panel. This panel recognised a change in temperature between the hand and the room and this was harvested to create charge. Mr Eieland said this is based on piezoelectric materials. The material is able to produce an electric charge when it stretches and is subjected to mechanical stress. PFC is a type of piezoelectric material made up of integrated electrodes, and an adhesive polymer matrix.

Plamada and Sandra also stole jewellery, pictured, as part of their estimated \u00a3400,000 haul . Officers linked Plamada and Sandra to 179 burglaries across London, Essex and Kent. The pair stole everything from expensive jewellery, to random items such as a victim's dressing gown, woman's make-up set, a duvet and even a tin of mackerel. Other items recovered from the pair included a cigarette lighter, several packets of chewing gum and even a bottle of hand disinfectant. Judge Samatha Leigh jailed the pair for six years at Basildon Crown Court after they admitted the thefts. Judge Leigh said: 'You both committed highly organised offending that had a devastating effect on people and violated their homes. You are a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde.' Palmada and Sandra even stole one victim's make-up bag worth an estimated \u00a3100 - but far less second hand . Police initially questioned the pair about two burglaries but using the latest forensic techniques, they linked Plamada and Sandra to a string of other crimes. Detective Sergeant Brett Hagen, of the Metropolitan Police, said: 'Plamada and Sandra were a prolific burgling duo who committed a vast number of residential burglaries over a relatively short period of time. 'They were clearly committing burglary for financial gain, but also stole some strange items such as a tin of mackerel, women's make-up and a duvet set, suggesting they were actually using victims' personal property to furnish their home and their lifestyles. 'The jail sentence reflects the scale of their offending and will provide them with plenty of time to reflect on the dozens of victims who continue to suffer the effects of having been targeted by thieves. 'I would like to thank DC Trevor Guy of the Metropolitan Police and DC Steve Cunningham of Essex Police who both led their respective strands of the operation with tenacity and determination. 'The overwhelming evidence gathered by these officers has resulted in society being afforded a well-earned rest from the activities of two habitual thieves. 'In addition, as a result of this investigation a large number of victims have been reunited with their property.' Chief Inspector Mike Hamer of the Metropolitan Police added: \"This represents a fantastic result for the team and highlights the benefits of Police Constabularies working together to combat serious crime. 'The effects of becoming a victim of burglary run far deeper than a loss of property. 'I hope that", "summary": "Ovidiu-Constantin Plamada and Mariana Sandra burgled 179 homes .

In those three games \u2013 the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League semi-finals \u2014Real Madrid played with a 4-4-2 formation that allowed them to defend properly and counterattack at the earliest opportunity.

The team\u2019s attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema did not feature together on two out of those three games, the other one being the return leg against Bayern in the Allianz Arena. Injuries to Bale (a 1-0 win against Bayern at the Bernabeu) and Ronaldo (Copa del Rey final) forced Ancelotti to use a 4-4-2 system that proved to be so solid that the Italian coach played Gareth Bale as a midfielder on Real\u2019s historic 4-0 win in Germany. This season, Bale also had to miss last October\u2019s Clasico. Ancelotti knew what he had to do, he used that same 4-4-2 formation with James and Isco on the wings, and Real Madrid were able to come back and earn a convincing 3-1 win against Messi and Co. Considering how badly the team have struggled against Valencia and Atletico Madrid since 2015 started, it\u2019s not surprising to see that several polls around the Spanish media prove that the fans want to see that 4-4-2 formation again. Welsh star Gareth Bale has provoked the ire of the Real Madrid fans for his percieved selfishness .

And each, like the others who have been or soon will be coming, are taking great pains to avoid stating the obvious and triggering the headaches that come with being a full-blown candidate.

'They twisted our arms to figure out a way to maybe take part of a semester off next year, next fall, to come to New Hampshire, to come around the country and talk to young people like themselves,' Walker said. Walker also promised he would return to New Hampshire often, even though he was circumspect on why the governor of a Midwestern state would take such a shine to New Hampshire if he weren't running for the GOP nomination. 'We'll be back many more times to New Hampshire,' he promised. Not waiting for Walker to make official his candidacy, union members rallied outside the political event.

Mother-of-one Sonia Poulton shared her views on modern parenting on today's This Morning, pictured . Mother-of-one Sonia Poulton, 50, a journalist from London, argued that the onus should not be on schools to teach children such issues around sex education. Rather, she believes parents should be taking much more responsibility. She said: 'I think it's entirely inappropriate the kind of conversations we are allowing strangers to have with our children. If anybody needs to be having sex education lessons it's parents. 'Children are becoming sexualised earlier and there is plenty a parent can do. First of all, start parenting again.

She said that having a proper syllabus is vital to keep children safe and to stop them being misinformed and then spreading myths about sex in the playground.

He was finally told he would not face any sexual assault charges in October.

Scroll down for video . The 65-year-old veteran DJ Paul Gambaccini said he had suffered 'a year from hell' by officers trying to drum up their case against him after he was arrested in 2013 . Mr Gambaccini told the Home Affairs Select Committee the police had launched a 'witch hunt' to protect their reputation . Travis was convicted of molesting a 22-year-old researcher in September, just weeks before the case against Mr Gambaccini was dropped.

The furious BBC DJ added: 'When you open a website and a phone line - as the police did - for the dedicated purpose of accusing celebrities, then you are going to get some people who are responding to the offer of money and attention.'

NHS trusts will be required to check the language competency of all their healthcare workers, before they are given licence to practise in the UK. The move marks an extension of legislation introduced early last year, which demands that all foreign doctors are now subjected to tough language checks before treating patients. Since the new law was passed 429 doctors have been refused a licence to practise medicine in the UK because their English language skills are not up to scratch. Until now only nurses, midwives and dentists from outside the EU were subject to any language competency tests. All foreign nurses, midwives and dentists will be required to pass English language competency tests before treating patients in the UK after MPs voted to extend legislation introduced last year for all foreign doctors . But today MPs voted to extend the rules to cover those from member states. Today health minister Dr Dan Poulter said voting to include all healthcare professionals, as well as doctors, would offer 'better protection for patients'.

There are a total of 685,262 nurses and midwives on the register. Under the new powers if an applicant cannot provide evidence of their language competency, the NMC will be able to ask them to take an internationally recognised test. The NMC's new powers are expected to come into effect later this year. A change in the law, which was passed for doctors last year, came after German doctor Daniel Ubani killed his patient David Gray, when he confused two drugs and gave Mr Gray an overdose . Until last year when the law changed, the General Medical Council only had the powers to test the language skills of foreign doctors from outside the EU. Since 1983, the doctors' regulatory body had been banned from testing the skills of those arriving from EU countries. Last year's change in law for doctors was prompted by an 'alarming' number of cases where patients complained about poor treatment from doctors with a poor grasp of the English language.

+{"article": "Gareth Lee (pictured leaving court today) said he was left 'shocked' and in 'disbelief' when the bakery refused his order . A Christian baker who refused to make a cake bearing a pro-gay marriage slogan has begun a court battle over equality laws. Belfast-based Ashers Bakery refused to make a cake featuring an image of Sesame Street puppets Bert and Ernie below the motto 'Support Gay Marriage'. Northern Ireland's Equality Commission is now supporting a legal action against the family-run bakery on behalf of gay rights activist Gareth Lee, whose order was declined. Mr Lee told a court today he was left 'shocked' and in 'disbelief' when one of the owners of the bakery, Karen McArthur, rang him and told him she would not be processing the order he had already paid for. 'It made me feel I'm not worthy, a lesser person and to me that was wrong,' he said. Opening the case, Robin Allen QC, representing Mr Lee, said the baker's objection on religious grounds was not lawful. He said baking a cake did not mean the bakers supported any message the cake might carry and compared the baking of a cake to a postman delivering a letter or a printer printing a poster. 'A postman taking a letter to the door or a printer carrying out a printing job - nobody would say that involved promoting or support,' he said. 'It's simply a functional relationship, a working relationship.' The lawyer also noted the publicity around the case and highlighted that politicians, church figures, bloggers and others had expressed opinions on the matter. But the barrister insisted the case must be judged on the facts alone, saying: 'Law must not be determined by those who shout loudest.' Mr Allen QC said he was not in court to challenge the McArthur family's faith and highlighted that the proposed design would not have had an Ashers logo on it. The case is being heard at Belfast County Court by district judge Isobel Brownlie. The Commission, which monitors compliance with equality laws in the region, has alleged that the stance of the company was in breach of legislation. The case has sharply divided public opinion in Northern Ireland and beyond. In the wake of the bakery's refusal to provide the service last May, the commission, a state-funded watchdog body, took on the case on behalf of Mr Lee. Initially, the commission asked the bakery to acknowledge that it had breached legislation and offer 'modest' damages to the customer. Claims of discrimination were made after a Christian-run bakery in Northern Ireland refused to make a cake with a pro-gay marriage slogan on it on religious grounds. Pictured, left: The design.

+{"article": "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 claim they may have finally solved the riddle of how life first got going on Earth. They 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. Meteorite impacts, like the one in the illustration above, may have triggered the creation of hydrogen cyanide that scientists have found can create the three basic building blocks of light in reactions powered by sunlight . 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. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. It is one of three important molecules that are essential for all known forms of life - as well as proteins and lipids. RNA is formed from strings of nucleic acids, the same building blocks that create DNA. Genetic information in a cell flows from DNA through RNA to proteins. DNA is considered the 'blueprint' of the cell and RNA is what helps translate it. Some life, like viruses, only use RNA and it is thought that some of the earliest organisms on Earth used this molecule. Proteins are considered to be the workhorses of the cell built up from strings of amino acids. These carry out the biochemical reactions that take place in the cell and make life tick. Lipids are fatty molecules that line up in formation that can create protective vesicles. They form the membrane 'walls' of every living cell and give them structure. They are also essential for sending signals out of the cell. 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. Professor John Sutherland, a chemist at the Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge who led the study said: 'Although it necessarily has to be painted with broad brushstrokes, the picture that emerges is of an overall reaction network developing over time in separate streams and pools, according to a dynamic flow chemistry scheme. 'The various products would be synthesized by subtle variations in the flow-chemistry history of the streams and the order in which they merged", "summary": "Scientists created precursors to RNA, proteins and lipids in basic reactions . Their tests used hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulphide and ultraviolet light . These chemicals would have been plentiful on the Earth 4 billion years ago .

United Lincolnshire Hospitals, which runs Lincoln County Hospital, pictured, paid \u00a33,258 for a consultant to work a 24-hour shift in A&E between Christmas and New Year . Figures obtained by Sky News show that United Lincolnshire Hospitals paid \u00a33,258 for a consultant to work a 24-hour shift in A&E between Christmas and New Year. Not all the money went to the doctor as the agency employing them will have taken a sizeable cut. Nonetheless, it is still a considerable amount bearing in mind the locum will have spent much of the shift asleep but \u2018on-call\u2019 \u2013 where they need to attend only in an emergency. Leeds Teaching Hospitals in West Yorkshire paid \u00a32,099 for a doctor to work a nine-hour shift in A&E over the same period \u2013 equivalent to \u00a3230 an hour. Three more trusts \u2013 the Royal Berkshire in Reading, Derby Hospitals and North Bristol \u2013 each paid around \u00a31,800 for an A&E nurse to work 12 hours. The figures, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, show that at one trust, Airedale in West Yorkshire, more than 70 per cent of all doctors\u2019 shifts between Christmas and New Year were filled by locums. As they are generally less experienced and competent than full-time doctors employed by the trust, there is concern that such over-reliance could put patients at risk. The Royal Berkshire in Reading, pictured, Derby Hospitals and North Bristol each paid around \u00a31,800 for an A&E nurse to work 12 hours . At the Heart of England NHS trust, 58 per cent of shifts between Christmas and New Year were filled by locums, while at the Royal Bolton it was 52 per cent. The NHS is short of A&E doctors partly because staffing levels have not kept pace with the rising number of patients, so trusts have to pay vast amounts to agencies.

Prospective buyers were lured in with an enticing description of the Lake District views from the property when it appeared on the market. What they were not told was that the vistas should never have existed in the first place. For the property\u2019s owner illegally felled dozens of protected trees in an attempt to increase its value by creating the views. Marilyn Barnes, 61, was fined \u00a315,000 after a court was told she arranged for the trees facing her home to be chopped down in a desperate attempt to command a higher selling price. The divorcee had included information about a tree preservation order affecting a small area of land included in the sale when the house first appeared on the market. But after failing to attract a buyer, the four-bedroom semi-detached house overlooking the Arnside Estuary in Cumbria was remarketed a year later. This time, the details mentioned \u2018fine distant views\u2019 and the asking price rose from \u00a3399,000 to \u00a3425,000. South Cumbria Magistrates\u2019 Court heard Barnes was no longer able to afford the home after being forced to give up work in 2010 when she fell off ladders while painting a ceiling. Facing mounting debts, she approached local pig farmer and joiner Stephen Lawton to cut down the trees, telling him she wanted to \u2018open up views\u2019. Lawton felled 27 trees, including ash, hazel, elm, sycamore, holly, beech and willow. He was not paid but used the trees as firewood. John Batty, for Barnes, said she was \u2018extremely embarrassed\u2019 and that it was a big mistake that \u2018should never have happened\u2019. South Lakes District Council, which managed the protection order for the trees, said the property was originally put on sale in October 2013 before being remarketed in November 2014. Nicola Hartley, for the council, said: \u2018It is the prosecution case that the unlawful felling has opened up the view and this has the potential to increase the saleability of the property. \u2018The court must have regard to any financial benefit that has been accrued or likely to accrue as a consequence of the offence.\u2019 Room with no view: Marilyn Barnes had the trees cleared that were obscuring a potentially great sight .

She is understood to have moved out of the property, although a selling price has yet to be listed with the Land Registry. Lawton, 25, was fined \u00a33,000 and told to pay the same costs as Barnes.

+{"article": "Though most brides dream of their one-off wedding dress being hand sewn by designer couturiers, that could soon be a thing of the past. One company in China is now making 3D printed bridal dresses. Unveiled at the TCT + Personalize Asia exhibition Shanghai this weekend, the dresses have been created using advanced technologies and nylon powder, rather than silks, lace and chiffon. The future of fashion? Two 3D printed wedding dresses were unveiled this weekend at Shanghai's TCT + Personalize Asia technology expo, created by Chinese designers specialising in digital technology . But despite their less-than-luxury beginnings, the designers claim the dresses are soft to touch, comfortable to wear and durable too. Created by Chinese 3D printing specialists Xuberance, who also make ties, hair pins, jewellery and home accessories using the technology, the dresses could signal fashion of the future. Rather than the revered traditional dressmaking skills of Parisian couturiers, normally fantasised about by brides-to-be, these dresses are made using a process called selective laser sintering (SLS). The dress 'fabric' is constructed by using lasers to fuse together the nylon powder, slowly building up the material in layers. Each dress takes around one week to make, using advanced digital technologies and laser techniques, to fuse together nylon powders. The specialist process however, comes with a high price tag . The cost of the 3D printed wedding dresses is yet to be revealed, but a bridal veil made using the same specialist process is expected to retail at 20,000 Chinese yuan (approximately \u00a32167.35) And it's not just dresses and accessories that Xuberance applies their innovative digital technology to. Though details have been kept under wraps, a 3D printed wedding cake and sugar flowers were also on display at the exhibition. But if you were hoping to cut costs by skipping the bridal shops, it seems unlikely. A 3D printed veil created using the same process currently costs 20,000 Chinese yuan (approximately \u00a32167.35), while a metallic effect headpiece retails at 5,000 yuan (around \u00a3541.84) in the company's online shop. The dresses are, as with the most sought-after haute couture bridal designers, being given the 'price on request' treatment, but since they each take a week to 'print out', costs are likely to be high. Despite shunning traditional fabrics like chiffon or lace, the tech-savvy dresses are intricately detailed and designed to resemble the real thing, but offer new scope for more ambitious patterns . Would you wear Xuberance? Though bridal dreams are traditionally filled with thoughts of Chanel, Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta, new technology could soon change the face of wedding fashion .", "summary": "Forget gowns hand made by couturiers - these come from 3D printers .

+{"article": "Traditional British cooker manufacturer AGA, favoured by TV chefs Mary Berry and Nigella Lawson, has today launched in China with a brand new feature: a wok burner. Taking the leap into the new market is arguably the biggest gamble the firm, which has been selling ovens in Britain since 1929, has ever made. Most Chinese kitchens have just two gas hobs and, if they have an oven at all, it is usually cheap and the size of a microwave. Gamble: AGA has been selling cookers in Britain since 1929 and launching in China is seen as a big gamble. Daniel Wong (front), AGA\u2019s director of business development in China, said shifting eating habits among the country\u2019s rich influenced the company\u2019s decision to launch there . British staple: AGA is a favourite of Merry Berry and Nigella Lawson. Even the PM has one of the firm's cookers in his kitchen . But AGA is targeting the country's new middle class and chief executive William McGrath told MailOnline he was confident he could convince people to spend between \u00a35,400 and \u00a327,000 on the British favourite. The launch was announced in 2012, but due to China\u2019s unfamiliarity with ovens and laws about accreditation for them, it was derailed. Accreditation rules have been re-drafted by authorities and now, three years later, AGAs are finally available to order. Mr McGrath, speaking in Beijing ahead of the official launch event, conceded that the cookers could just become popular with a \u2018small niche market connecting with expats in China\u2019. However, he said that it was worth the risk because if they prove popular with the country\u2019s 1.35 billion population it will be a \u2018game changer\u2019 for the firm. \u2018We\u2019re quietly confident, and that comes from talking to people in the industry as well as consumers,\u2019 he said. \u2018The answer to whether it\u2019ll work seems to be, \u201cIt\u2019s definitely worth a go\u201d. But nobody is saying this is definitely going to work.\u2019 AGA products are synonymous with cosy comfort food such as Sunday roasts and Victoria sponges. The Prince of Wales, David Cameron, Delia Smith and even Jeremy Clarkson, who was dropped by the BBC this week, own one. Despite the company's rich British history, it has teamed up with China-based firm Beijing Hi Seasons for the rollout and Mr McGrath said he\u2019s hoping that families in China will use the cookers to make traditional Chinese food. AGA chief executive William McGrath (pictured) denied that succeeding in China was essential for the company but added: \u2018We want to win some away games' Cooker model: British fashion model Daisy Lowe was enlisted to advertise the popular cooker, which has not launched in Asia . As such, the RedFyre AGA models being launched in China resemble those available in Britain but with a crucial difference: a wok burner on top. China\u2019s new moneyed middle class has a huge appetite for western luxury brands, from Chanel clothes to Land Rovers.

A cross-dressing art curator accused of punching a manager at the Groucho Club and calling her a 'f***ing fat, Polish b****' has been cleared of racially aggravated assault. Milovan Farronato was alleged to have punched Agnieszka Sikorska when she refused him entry to the trendy central London nightclub because he wasn't a member. The 41-year-old Italian art curator denied the charge and was today acquitted at Westminster Crown Court after a one day hearing. Speaking afterwards he said he was 'delighted' the case had been settled. Ms Sikorska claimed she was left with a cut nose after being punched by Mr Farronato, who is the director of the Fiorucci Art Trust, on May 9 last year. The court was told the 41-year-old had tried to gain access to a section of the bar that had been reserved for members only when the incident occurred. He and some friends had earlier attended a party at the Soho nightclub when they tried to enter the restricted bar, the prosecution claimed. Mr Farronato denied her allegations, instead claiming he had been told to leave the exclusive nightclub because he was wearing women's clothes, full make-up and 12inch high heels. He admitted slapping the Polish manager as an act of 'instinctive' self-defence but denied racially abusing her beforehand. He also accepted possibly causing the cut on her nose with the 'thick' he was wearing at the time and said he told the woman she had 'terrible hair'. Passing sentence District Judge Tan Ikram said he could not be sure which party was telling the truth and so found the defendant not guilty. 'The prosecution called only one witness and what they are saying to me is that I can exclude the possibility that she wasn't telling the truth. 'They are saying that this woman had been working there for 10 years and she wouldn\u2019t lie,' he said. 'I cannot do that in this case because I have inconsistent evidence and I think it is significant inconsistent evidence. 'What probably happened I would not like to say. Can I be sure it happened the way the Crown say it happened? The answer is no. 'Because I cannot be sure that you didn't act in self-defence I find you not guilty.' Speaking after the hearing Mr Farronato said he was relieved to have been acquitted. Self-defence: The art curator says he was discriminated against because he was wearing women's clothing . 'I\u2019m delighted, it\u2019s been a very difficult day for me. 'This sort of thing has never happened to me before - thank God it\u2019s over. 'I was confident that what I was saying was real and this was reflected but I couldn't be sure I would be believed.'

Sara Netanyahu (right), wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (left), drank excessive amounts of alcohol including three bottles of champagne a day, a former caretaker claimed in court. Mrs Netanyahu denies the claims . The lawsuit, which was filed to the Jerusalem district labour court in Israel, states Naftali worked long hours and received 'unrestrained tongue-lashings from the prime minister's wife, Mrs. Sara Netanyahu'. It adds: 'The vast majority of which were with the prime minister's knowledge.' In one instance, Naftali said Mrs Netanyahu called him at 3am to complain that he had bought milk in a plastic storage bag instead of a carton, according to the lawsuit. In another, Naftali claimed that she chastised him because some flowers in a vase were a day old. The cross-examination stage of the civil suit began yesterday. Naftali told the court that when he initially met Mrs Netanyahu he did not know she drank 'crazy amounts' of alcohol. The lawsuit states Naftali worked long hours and received 'unrestrained tongue-lashings from the prime minister's wife, Mrs. Sara Netanyahu'.

Shaneka Monique Torres, 30, is accused of firing a 9mm handgun through the restaurant in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the early hours of February 9, 2014. No one was hurt in the incident. She is on trial after refusing a plea deal and now faces up to seven behind bars if convicted of carrying a concealed weapon, shooting at a building and use of a firearm. In court on Tuesday, her attorney John Beason said Torres did not mean to pull the trigger when she shot the drive-thru window after the server had gone out of view. In court: Shaneka Monique Torres, pictured in the courtroom during the first day of her trial on Tuesday, is accused of opening fire on a McDonald's in February 2014 after they got her order wrong . 'She says she pulled the trigger, but she did not pull it on purpose,' Beason said, according to Mlive. 'Stupid? Yes. Mistake? Yes. Accident? Yes. Intentional? No.' Torres had gone to McDonald's the previous day for a burger but was unhappy to find it did not have bacon on it, as she had requested, police said. After speaking to the managers, they offered her a free bacon burger on her next visit, police said, and after drinking at clubs with a friend that night, she took them up on their offer. Sitting in the passenger seat, she headed to the drive-thru at 2am - stopping to chat up a manager at one of the windows before giving him her number, which later helped police track her down. Scene: A news report from February 2014 shows the window Torres allegedly shot after getting a burger with no bacon inside. Her attorney said she shot the gun but did so accidentally . But when she and her friend received their order, she again had no bacon on her burger. On trial: Torres, pictured in her mug shot, miraculously did not injure anyone . Torres pulled out a handgun and fired once, sending the bullet through the window and out the other side of the restaurant, police said. Beason told the jury on Tuesday that the gun, which had no safety, went off accidentally. Torres' friend, Nydia Ray, who was driving the car, told the court her friend had not been upset by the lack of bacon on her burger. She said she saw the gun after handing the order back and was in the middle of saying 'What the f*** is going on?' when it fired. The server, Essence Lake, had walked away from the window when she heard the shot and saw the hole in the glass, she said, adding the bullet would have struck her if she'd still been by the window.

The top police officer in the hunt for cop-killer Raoul Moat is being investigated for bullying male officers who are allegedly terrified of receiving her Alex Ferguson-style hair dryer treatment. Northumbria's Police and Crime Commissioner Vera Baird is currently looking into claims that chief constable Sue Sim has left her senior officers demoralised over the candid manner she delivers critical assessments. Less than one in four chief constables in England and Wales are women. Northumbria Police told Mail Online that they were unwilling to discuss the situation. One source told The Times: 'One woman has all these grown men walking on eggshells because they're terrified of her. She's a heart on her sleeve person but the knives seem to be out for her.' Her style has been compared to her predecessor Sir John Stevens who delivered what have been described as legendary 'b**********' to the officers under his command. Chief Constable Sim came to public prominence during the hunt for crazed killer Raoul Moat in 2010 when she held her position in a temporary capacity. Speaking in September 2011, the six-foot tall police chief revealed she had received sexist criticism during the manhunt and was the subject of cruel jokes. Addressing a North East women's business conference, Chief Constable Sim said: 'It was quite hurtful to read what the media said about my hair and make-up, and them making comparisons with Margaret Beckett. 'I can't imagine that they would have done the same if I was a short fat man. 'I work in a male dominated environment, so there have been obstacles simply because I'm a woman, but it also helps that I'm a six foot woman, so that makes it easier to stand my ground. 'But I had an important job to and I had to get on with it.' PCC Baird confirmed the chief constable is under investigation. She said: 'Over the past few days, I have sought clarification about the issues raised by some officers. I am no clear that they wish to make complaints against the chief constable of Northumbria Police which merit investigation. 'The first step in the statutory process in such a situation is for me to assess the severity of any such complaint and I have done so. 'I have told the chief constable that there is a prima facie case to be investigated as to whether she is guilty of misconduct. 'The nature of the complaint to be investigated is that the chief constable may have fallen short of her tudy as a police officer to treat her colleagues with respect and courtesy.'

Grammy-winning Taylor, 25, attributes a huge slice of her global success to her energetic stage performances and her team have apparently looked into how much it would cost to insure her legs against potential career-threatening accidents. The Pennsylvania-raised star is embarking upon a global tour in May and the move is said to be a precaution against such a physically-demanding schedule. Scroll down for video . Diamonds in those heels: Taylor Swift's super-slim legs have reportedly been insured for a whopping \u00a326.5million ahead of her gruelling world tour which begins in May . Prized assets: Taylor's pins, on display (left) at the Saturday Night Live anniversary special last month, are considered a key part of her high-energy stage performances. Showing them off at a pre-Grammy Gala in LA in February (right) The Blank Space singer is reported to have said she was 'embarrassed' at how much her slender limbs are said to be worth. Celebrity insurers Lloyd's, which has specialised in offering body-part policies since the 1930s, said they were not surprised by the vast sums attributed to Taylor's pins. Underwriter Jonathan Thomas told FEMAIL: 'Taylor Swift\u2019s income-generating capacity is hugely dependent upon her stage presence and thus her exceptional legs are indeed very likely worth millions of dollars of insurance.' She's certainly not the first celebrity to insure herself, however, with a whole host of other stars on record for ensuring their prize assets, which they often consider the key to their success, are protected by policy. Long before Kim Kardashian's derriere arrived on the scene, Jennifer Lopez famously insured her perfectly-round bottom for millions of dollars. Australian singer Kylie Minogue, whose rear grabbed the headlines in gold hotpants in the video for hit single Spinning Around back in 2000 was said to have insured her behind shortly after to the tune of \u00a33million.

Bruce Springsteen's relentless live dates contribute hugely to his overall fortune so he needs more than the price of honey and lemon to keep his voice safe - the vocal chords of 'the Boss' are covered for up to \u00a33million. For obvious reasons, sports stars can also have high premiums attached to certain parts of their anatomies. Although it's common practice for football clubs to insure against injury, a career-threatening tackle on a higher-profile star could potentially lose the club millions in sponsorship deals.

The one decision I had to disagree with was when Matic cynically tripped his opponent and Dean, after due consideration and perhaps realising that Matic was already on a caution, decided to keep his cards in his pocket. Mourinho wisely subbed Matic shortly afterwards. Chelsea could also point to a trip by Tadic on Branislav Ivanovic just inside the penalty area in the first half but to the naked eye at high speed it looked like a dive which Dean did well not to caution. Branislav Ivanovic went down in the box but in real time it looked like a dive - replays showed contact from Tadic but it would have been tough to give . Costa claims he was fouled by Diego Fonte - if the penalty was given the defender would be been sent off .

Dr Bours is facing two lawsuits in the District and Supreme court from patients who visited him for routine procedures between 2009 and 2011. The complaints commission took Dr Bours to the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal over his care and treatment of four patients. One patient, a 65-year-old woman, was told she could wear high heels to her daughter's wedding two months after surgery to remove a minor bunion on her left big toe.

Taking the contraceptive Pill triples the risk of developing an incurable disease of the digestive system, doctors warned last night. Cases of Crohn\u2019s disease have exploded since the 1960s, and researchers now believe widespread use of the Pill may be one of the main reasons behind the dramatic rise. They have found sex hormones in contraceptive Pills can weaken the gut, creating the perfect conditions for Crohn\u2019s to develop. The doctors also fear that repeated use of the \u2018morning-after pill\u2019 \u2013 which contains even higher doses of sex hormones than the daily tablet \u2013 might make women still more prone to it. Crohn\u2019s involves the painful inflammation of the digestive system, most commonly the intestines. This makes digesting food difficult, resulting in diarrhoea, fatigue and anaemia. Flare-ups can be so bad that working is impossible, leading to lengthy periods off work. Drugs and surgery can help ease symptoms, but there is no cure, and some sufferers find it so intolerable that they commit suicide. At least two Britons with Crohn\u2019s have travelled to Switzerland to end their lives at the controversial Dignitas clinic. Dr Hamed Khalili, a Harvard gastroenterologist, said Crohn\u2019s cases had risen \u2018two or three-fold\u2019 in the past 50 years, since widespread use of the Pill began. It now affects an estimated 100,000 people in Britain \u2013 one in every 650 people \u2013 although only a fraction of these are officially diagnosed. Changing diets had been touted as a reason for the increase, but Dr Khalili said research into the suspected link had been \u2018fairly disappointing\u2019. However, a study of 230,000 American women led by Dr Khalili found the risk was three times higher in women who had used the Pill for five years or more than those who had never been on it. A British study came to a similar conclusion. Exactly why the Pill \u2013 taken by around 3.5 million women in Britain, a third of those of childbearing age \u2013 seems to raise the risk of Crohn\u2019s remains unclear. But Dr Khalili said changing a woman\u2019s natural sex hormone levels appeared to do three things that could put them at greater risk: it made the gut lining more permeable, reduced levels of \u2018friendly\u2019 bacteria in the intestines and affected the immune system. He added he would expect the morning-after pill to increase the risk further, because it contained higher levels of hormones but said there was no hard data yet to back up that hypothesis. Overall, adult women are only a little more likely to have Crohn\u2019s than adult men. But twice as many women as men suffer from one of the main forms of Crohn\u2019s, where the colon is affected. Dr Khalili, who practises at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, stressed a woman was unlikely to get Crohn\u2019s simply by using the Pill, and that genetics played a large role. He said: \u2018What\u2019s very clear is that Crohn\u2019s is not caused by oral contraceptive use by", "summary": "Cases of Crohn\u2019s disease within the UK have exploded since the 1960s .

Netflix has said the movie will still get a limited run in 'selected theatres' so it can be considered for the Oscars and other major awards. Exclusive: The distribution rights to Beasts of No Nation starring Idris Elba (pictured) have been bought exclusively by Netflix, prompting a furious backlash from America's cinema chains . Based on the best-selling novel by Uzodinma Iweala, it stars Idris Elba as a warlord in an unnamed west-African country who captures a child soldier. According to the Guardian, the \u00a33.9million film was shot in Ghana last year. 42-year-old Elba is currently in London filming the fourth series of award-winning British drama Luther, in which he plays the lead character. Netflix beat distributors like Focus and Fox Searchlight for the rights to his latest film because the its backers believed it would reach a much bigger audience online. One of the producers Amy Kaufman told Variety: 'This movie will have the muscle of Netflix behind it. 'It will definitely be seen by a lot more and different kinds of people through Netflix than it would have through a traditional platform.' She believes the quality of programming on the site is altering people's perceptions about the way they consume entertainment content. She added: 'It could be a game changer. This has the potential to change the way people perceive how movies and art are delivered to them.' Netflix encountered a similar stalemate last year when it announced a partnership with Weistein Company and Imax on the 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' sequel.

According to Variety, independent chains such as the Alamo Drafthouse which has 19 theatres in Texas, New York and California has said it will screen the movie.

'I don't look at myself as a competitor to Netflix. I think that argument is a little bit of a red herring. I watch a lot of movies at home, but there comes a time where I want to get out of the house. 'I look at cinemas as one of those options that compete with restaurants or baseball games or all of those things I can't do in my living room.'

The threat from the U.S. forced Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to abort a planned attack on Iraq, reported Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida. Netanyahu will be in Washington for an address to Congress on Tuesday aimed squarely at derailing Obama's cherished bid for a diplomatic deal with Tehran. Scroll down for video . President Obama is alleged to have thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets . For six years, President Obama and Netanyahu have been on a collision course over how to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, a high-stakes endeavor both men see as a centerpiece of their legacies. The Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran last year after discovering that the U.S. and Iran were involved in secret talks over Iran's nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back. The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran. According to the report, 'Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army's chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran's nuclear program. 'In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel's security.' For six years, President Obama and Netanyahu have been on a collision course over how to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, a high-stakes endeavor both men see as a centerpiece of their legacies . The sources added that Gantz and his commanders prepared the requested plan and that Israeli fighter jets trained for several weeks in order to make sure the plans would work successfully. Israeli fighter jets reportedly even carried out experimental flights in Iran's airspace after they managed to break through radars. Stopping Iran from building a nuclear bomb has become a defining challenge for both Obama and Netanyahu, yet one they have approached far differently. For Obama, getting Iran to verifiably prove it is not pursuing nuclear weapons would be a bright spot in a foreign policy arena in which numerous outcomes are uncertain and would validate his early political promise to negotiate with Iran without conditions. Netanyahu considers unacceptable any deal with Iran that doesn't end its nuclear program entirely and opposes the diplomatic pursuit as one that minimizes what he considers an existential threat to Israel. Tehran says its nuclear program is peaceful and exists only to produce energy for civilian use.

An elephant is given a pedicure by Chinese actor Huang Xuan and a chimpanzee is forced to wear a Superman costume, in some of the show's more unusual scenes, dubbed 'cruel' by experts talking to People's Daily Online.

One expert, Miss Jiao, said that people are mistaking the creature's distressed reactions as cute. For example, a chimpanzee that appears to be 'grinning' is actually showing signs of of 'anxiety, fear and threat'. Pictures which show a young orangutan being dressed in human clothes could lead to alienation with other orangutans likely to ignore it, she warned. One part of the show saw a celebrity taking a young chimpanzee to 'Find its Father' which led to the father suddenly becoming emotional and violent.

Such was my determination to give my newborn daughter the best start in life, I was expressing milk for her, despite the huge abscess across the centre of my right breast.

Laura Wright (pictured with her daughter, Summer) was so determined to breastfeed Summer as a baby that she went through weeks of agony . It was an attitude that not only threatened my health but also tarnished the first weeks with my precious firstborn and made me angry that women are put under such pressure to breast-feed that common sense flies out of the window. The questions about whether I intended to breast-feed began at my first prenatal appointment when I was 12 weeks pregnant and continued for the next six months. Advice, leaflets and DVDs were doled out in earnest, extolling the virtues and the rewards.

Over the next few days I continued to breast-feed but Summer was so hungry, I followed advice and relied on formula and expressed milk to top her up. Anxious to know if I was doing things right, I asked a breastfeeding consultant\u2019s advice. \u2018Why are you using formula?\u2019 she asked in a disapproving manner, before feeding Summer my three remaining containers of expressed milk.

Last month, the fast-food chain began looking at how it could make breakfast available later in the day, said Jeff Stratton, head of McDonald's USA. Offering both the breakfast menu past 10.30am alongside the lunch menu had been considered logistically impossible, given the tight kitchen spaces of the restaurants. McDonald's even tweeted about the topic in February, saying it does not serve breakfast all day because its grills 'just aren't big enough for breakfast and lunch.' On their website in response to why they do not serve breakfast all day the company wrote: 'Here\u2019s the thing: it comes down to the sheer size of kitchen grills. 'They simply don\u2019t have the room for all of our menu options at one time \u2014 especially considering we use our grill to prepare many items on our breakfast menu.' The push to make breakfast available outside normal hours partly reflects how McDonald's is working to keep pace with shifting habits. In particular, executives have noted that customers increasingly want foods personalized to their tastes and schedules. Breakfast also accounts for about 25percent of sales at McDonald's, and is the strongest part of the day for the chain, according to the Chicago Tribune. If the test is successful, McDonald's could expand the all-day breakfast menu to other markets . 'We look forward to learning from this test, and it's premature to speculate on any outcomes,' wrote spokeswoman Terri Hickey in an email, according to CNBC. 'We're excited to serve our customers in this area some of McDonald's great-tasting breakfast sandwiches, hash browns and other favorites all day long.' McDonald's said on Monday that it was too early to speculate on any outcomes from the test. Janney Capital Markets had released an analyst note earlier and said that their industry sources had told them McDonald's planned to test all-day breakfast in the U.S. The analyst note was released before McDonald's confirmed the report. 'Having those breakfast items available to sell all day would also serve as a reminder to customers (and the media. and Wall Street.) that McDonald's does indeed have craveable food to sell,' Janney analyst Mark Kalinowski wrote.", "summary": "Fast-food chain will begin test in April at select locations in San Diego .

+{"article": "As we find more planetary systems elsewhere in the galaxy, something is confusing astronomers - why does our solar system appear so unique? Many other systems have \u2018super-Earths\u2019 and other planets in tight orbits close to their star, but ours does not. And now we might know why - because Jupiter acted like a \u2018wrecking ball\u2019 in the early solar system and knocked planets out of the solar system or into position. University of California scientists have presented a new theory for the solar system. They say early in its life, Jupiter swung through the inner planets (illustration of early solar system shown). This explains why there are no planets between Mercury and the sun. But it may also indicate our system is an 'oddball' in the galaxy . If this is true, it would suggest that the conditions that have allowed life on Earth to thrive are incredibly rare. The study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences helps explain why our solar system is so different from the hundreds of others discovered in recent years. \u2018Now we can look at our own solar system in the context of all these other planetary systems, one of the most interesting features is the absence of planets inside the orbit of Mercury,\u2019 said Professor Gregory Laughlin, of California University in Santa Cruz, who co-authored the study. \u2018The standard issue planetary system in our galaxy seems to be a set of super-Earths with alarmingly short orbital periods. Our solar system is looking increasingly like an oddball.\u2019 Aliens are real - not little green men visiting Earth as depicted in movies, but rather microbial life in our own solar system and intelligent life beyond. That\u2019s according to two leading Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (Seti) researchers, who took part in a hearing at the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology in Washington DC last August. During the talk dubbed \u2018Astrobiology and the Search for Life in the Universe\u2019 in May, the scientists laid out the evidence and reasoning for believing we are not alone. The speech was made by Dr Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the Seti Institute in California, and Dr Dan Wethimer, Director of Seti Research. And, they added, with adequate support it is likely we will find alien life in some form or another within 20 years. Dr Wethimer said: \u2018It would be bizarre if we are alone,\u2019 he told the committee. \u2018It would be a cramped mind that didn\u2019t wonder what other life is out there.\u2019 The new findings provide an explanation for this \u2018gaping hole\u2019 in our inner solar system between Mercury and the sun. But they also reveal certain characteristics of Earth and the other rocky planets, which would have formed later than the outer ones from a depleted supply of material. Namely, Jupiter may have helped Earth form in a habitable part of the solar system. And it also possibly played a part in Earth's size, ensuring it was not too big or small to host water and life.

The 14-year old boy, who can not be named for legal reasons, said he wanted behead the kid goat before he attacked a human victim after viewing videos of the recent killings of Japanese hostages by ISIS. Police in Tachikawa, a middle-class bed-town serving central Tokyo, said that the boy had been found attacking the goat with a crowbar at 1am in the morning on March 16. Victim: Inspired by watching horrendous videos of ISIS executions, a teenager in Tokyo tried to behead a goat (pictured) as 'practice' before attacking a human . Lucky escape: The boy was found attacking the goat with a crowbar at 1am in Tachikawa, a middle-class town serving central Tokyo . Chilling inspiration: Police quoted the boy who tried to behead the goat (pictured) as saying: 'I wanted to murder somebody, anybody, after viewing videos of the Islamic State' Safe: The goat escaped any serious injuries and the boy - who is a minor - does not qualify for Japan's capital punishment laws despite calls on Twitter to give him the death penalty . Police said they were alerted to the assault when a passing police officer heard the repeated bleatings of the goat. The teen was caught chasing it and was found to be carrying a saw and other workman's tools. 'I wanted to murder somebody, anybody, after viewing videos of the Islamic State. But first I decided to kill the school goat for practice,' the police quoted the boy as saying. The attempt on the animal has parallels with another ISIS inspired attack in suburban Kawasaki, adjacent to Tokyo, earlier last month. Like the chief suspect in the Kawasaki murder, the goats' assailant was also a dropout, according to the police, and a 'hikikomori' a shut-in - common among the young in Japan. One of the three high school boys charged with stabbing a 12-year-old boy to death in Kawasaki proclaimed himself and the rest of his 'team' as the 'Kawasaki State' - following the same naming pattern as the terrorist organization ISIS. The gang terrorised other students in the port city declaring: 'We're above the law. We run by our own rules. We are Kawasaki State. If you go against us, we'll cut off your head while you're still alive!' Punishment: Police said the goat's assailant will be charged with trespassing and is now in the hands of Tokyo's juvenile court . Anger: In light of the attack on the goat, some have blamed Japanese parents for not knowing how to control their children's internet usage . The three are due to be tried for murder in a juvenile court later this year. Both the Kawaski murder and the attempt on the goat have generated thousands of tweets in Japan calling for the death penalty for minors in the case of heinous crimes.

+{"article": "This meeting is fast turning into a gala performance by the double act of Irish champion trainer Willie Mullins and his British counterpart Paul Nicholls. Having seen Mullins, ably assisted by stable jockeys Ruby Walsh and Paul Townend, smash the home team on Tuesday with four winners headed by his Champion Hurdler Faugheen, it was Nicholls\u2019 turn on Wednesday. He won the feature \u00a3350,000 Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase with Dodging Bullets as well as the Coral Cup with Aux Ptits Soins, both ridden by stable jockey Sam Twiston-Davies, and the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle with Qualando, the mount of Nick Scholfield. Dodging Bullets (front) delivered a second winner of day two for jockey Sam Twiston-Davies . With Mullins also landing the RSA Chase with Bryan Cooper-ridden Don Poli, the two dominant stables in jump racing have now won eight of the 14 Festival races run so far. Nicholls denied he had driven home on Tuesday depressed or frustrated having drawn a blank in the face of the Mullins\u2019 mullering. But the mood for the journey home last night must have been some contrast. Almost amazingly, Dodging Bullets\u2019 one-and-a-quarter length defeat of 33-1 shot Somersby was the first steeplechase Nicholls had won at this meeting since Kauto Star landed the 2009 Gold Cup.

Trainer Gary Moore and jockey son Jamie felt the ground had dried out too much for fourth-placed Sire De Grugy, who has endured an injury-plagued season while Sprinter Sacre, a spent force by the home turn, was pulled up before the last by his jockey Barry Geraghty. Twiston-Davies and Dodging Bullets successfully clear a fence on their way to victory . Twiston-Davies laps up the applause as he is led in after winning the Queen Mother Champion Chase . His trainer Nicky Henderson said there was no evidence Sprinter Sacre\u2019s old fibrillating heart problem had affected his gelding and a scope examination showed no signs of a significant blood vessel break. However, the feeling was an old breathing issue might have re-surfaced. There will be no snap decisions but there must be a chance he has run his last race. Henderson said: \u2018It is disappointing for everybody who has worked their socks off to get him back.\u2019 The outcome once again showed how hard it is to come back and the result had echoes of the 2010 Gold Cup won by Imperial Commander when the focus was on the Nicholls-trained pair of Kauto Star and Denman. This time it was the turn of 9-2 shot Dodging Bullets, winner of this season\u2019s Tingle Creek and Clarence House Chases, to be cold-shouldered in the build-up as the spotlight fell on the big two.

The artwork, which first appeared on the side of the North Star pub in Hounslow, west London, in 2007, was defaced over the weekend. The 6ft tall mural, thought to be worth \u00a3100,000, has the word 'smile' in brightly coloured letters written above the girl, originally pictured in pigtails - but now only her eyes remain visible. The Banksy of a pouting young girl in Hounslow, which first appeared in 2007 (left) was defaced over the weekend to show the girl wearing a burkha, leaving only her eyes visible . Local residents were left furious after the work - believed to be worth more than \u00a3100,000 - was vandalised, adding it had been the 'only thing that made them smile in Hounslow'. Sandra D'Souza said she was 'horrified' when she saw the defaced artwork. She said: 'I'm sure it brought a smile to the face of lots of other people passing by and it's such a shame it's been defaced like this.' Sam Spencer, 32, added: 'I was walking to Hounslow station on Sunday, which is right near the Banksy and saw the girl had been covered with a burkha. 'I don't know what is wrong with people around here - it's about the only thing Hounslow has got going for it and now it's ruined.' Twitter user @missfab2014 said the work was the 'only decent thing' in Hounslow and urged the artist to fix it . A Twitter user, known as Ems, urged the artist to come and fix the work. She said: 'The only decent thing in Hounslow and now look at it #banksy @thereaIbanksy come sort it out pls!!' Soon after the mural appeared in 2007, Paul Riley, the then landlord of the North Star pub - now a bar called Platform 3 - installed CCTV to stop the Banksy being vandalised. It is not known if the cameras are still in place. He said at the time: 'I phoned the council to tell them not to paint over it because it was a work of art. 'They came to look at it and agreed with me. I think it is lovely.' UPDATE: A representative for Banksy has confirmed to MailOnline that the work is not by the artist. The work has now been restored. Because of the value attached to many of Banky's pieces, his work had long been targeted by thieves hoping to sell stolen work for huge amounts. But they've also been attacked by vandals - some rival graffiti artists - for no other apparent purpose than to deface and destroy the work. His Spybooth painting, featuring three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box, appeared in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, in April last year.

+{"article": "Young teenagers are happier and healthier now than teenagers were a decade ago, a new study said yesterday. It found that the \u2018Facebook generation\u2019 of youngsters are less likely than their predecessors to drink alcohol, smoke tobacco or cannabis, or get bullied. A growing proportion of 11 to 15-year-olds, the study said, engage in behaviour that would make their parents proud. They eat fruit and vegetables, take exercise, clean their teeth, and talk to their mothers and fathers. Adolescents are more likely to eat fruit and vegetables, take exercise, talk to their mothers and fathers . However the study, assembled by academics at St Andrews University, complained that despite the increasing levels of health and well-being, adolescents now are just as likely to be fat as the generation of the 2000s. Obesity rates, it said, did not decline between 2002 and 2010. The findings, based on a series of papers put together with the help of the World Health Organisation, are the latest to underline the increasing trend for teenagers to avoid risky behaviour in favour of a healthier lifestyle. In England and Wales teen pregnancies have fallen to levels last seen in the 1960s and official surveys have shown a major drop in drinking among young people. More than a quarter of under-24s are teetotal and fewer than a fifth ever go binge drinking, according to 2013 estimates. in 2013 tobacco smoking among young women aged 18 to 24 dropped by 10 per cent, and among young men by almost as much. State surveys also showed a major drop in 2013 in numbers of people in the same age group who took any illegal drug, down from 19.3 per cent to 16.3 per cent. Some researchers have pointed to a \u2018Facebook effect\u2019 which has led teenagers who would once have spent their spare time on the streets instead to devote it to playing with gadgets in their bedrooms. Widespread public disapproval of smoking, drunkenness, drug abuse and teen mothers is also likely to have influenced teen behaviour. Professor Candace Currie of St Andrews, who assembled evidence drawn up from surveys and official statistics carried out in Europe and North America, said: \u2018There is much to celebrate about the health and well-being of many young people today.\u2019 The study, assembled by academics at St Andrews University (pictured), said that despite the increasing levels of health and well-being, adolescents now are just as likely to be fat as the previous generation . She added however that \u2018others continue to experience real and worrying problems.\u2019 Some countries, including Scotland, showed evidence that fewer youngsters took daily exercise in 2010 than in 2002. The report said that while the overall optimistic picture seems surprising, considering that many countries faced a severe economic crisis in the last decade, policies and actions to improve public health were implemented in many countries in the same period. Many of those policies were, however, deeply controversial.

The segment was laid out the same as the recent My Bold Dad spot in which a father tearfully drops off his daughter to join the military in his Toyota Camry. The spot that first aired during the 2015 Super Bowl and was seen as a touching look at what it is like to say goodbye for those that have family members in the service. In this version however, the father, played by Taran Killam, dropped off his daughter, played by Dakota Johnson, and as he tearfully said goodbye she says to him; 'Dad, it's just ISIS.'

In an extraordinary speech in London, Scotland\u2019s first minister claimed voters across the UK would welcome her party\u2019s influence at Westminster, saying she would end austerity. But, following mounting pressure from senior colleagues, Ed Miliband last night tried to draw a line under speculation about a Labour-SNP government by ruling out a formal coalition. Labour leader Ed Miliband said a formal coalition with the SNP 'will not happen' - but failed to rule out forming a looser alliance on a vote-by-vote basis . The Labour leader said there would be \u2018no SNP ministers\u2019 in any government he leads after May\u2019s general election. But Mr Miliband pointedly refused to rule out a deal that would see the resurgent Scottish nationalists prop up a minority Labour government in key Commons votes \u2013 the preferred option of Miss Sturgeon. \u2018This was a lot of hype to rule out something no one was proposing,\u2019 the first minister said. \u2018Mr Miliband\u2019s statement is absolutely fine from our point of view, because formal coalition with seats in the UK government has never been our preference. \u2018But working with Labour in a looser arrangement, I certainly wouldn\u2019t rule out because I want to see SNP MPs in the House of Commons pushing for progressive change. I also don\u2019t want to see David Cameron re-elected. 'As long as there are more SNP and Labour MPs than there are Tory MPs, we can lock the Tories out of government, there is no question about that.\u2019 Pollsters suggest the SNP is on course for an unprecedented breakthrough at the general election, winning dozens of Labour seats and depriving Mr Miliband of any chance of a majority. John Curtice, of Strathclyde University and one of the country\u2019s leading election experts, said the SNP appeared on the brink of winning 45 of Scotland\u2019s 59 seats. Ms Sturgeon, appearing on ITV's Lorraine show, claimed that if Labour ruled out a deal with the SNP they would be saying they were happy to see David Cameron 'waltz back in to Number 10' \u2018That means the formation of any government after May 7 will be with the acquiescence of the SNP,\u2019 the professor added. \u2018Mr Miliband\u2019s chances may indeed depend on him coming to some arrangement with the SNP.\u2019 Electoral deals between two or more parties can take various guises. A full-scale coalition is a power-sharing deal of the kind struck by David Cameron and Nick Clegg, with a shared programme and ministers from different parties. One step down from a coalition is an arrangement called \u2018confidence and supply\u2019. In exchange for concessions to its interests, a smaller party agrees to back a larger one in key Commons votes.

Hamzah Khan's decomposed body was found in a cot at his filthy home in Bradford in 2011, almost two years after he had died. The family, including his mother Amanda Hutton, 43, had extensive contact with police over a number of years, but today the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found that Hamzah's death was not something West Yorkshire Police 'could have reasonably been expected to predict or prevent', the police watchdog has found. A watchdog has cleared West Yorkshire Police over the case of four-year-old Hamzah Khan (pictured), who was starved to death by his alcoholic mother despite years of police contact with the family . Mother-of-eight Hutton was jailed for 15 years in 2013 after she was found guilty of Hamzah's manslaughter and neglecting five of her other children. At her trial it emerged that a range of agencies, including police officers, had contact with her family because she was a victim of repeated domestic violence, but no one spotted the danger the children were in. The IPCC had launched an investigation into West Yorkshire Police\u2019s handling of concerns raised about Hamzah\u2019s welfare, the results of which were announced today. In a statement, the watchdog said: 'The IPCC investigation concluded that Hamzah's death was not something West Yorkshire Police could have reasonably been expected to predict or prevent, and that it was the actions of a PCSO who made repeated and concerted attempts to speak to Ms Hutton that led to the discovery of Hamzah's body.' Mother-of-eight Amanda Hutton (pictured) was jailed for 15 years in 2013 after she was found guilty of Hamzah's manslaughter and neglecting five of her other children . The commission said there had been no misconduct by officers but did criticise the force for not referring itself to the IPCC at the time the body was discovered. It said the fact it was not referred 'hindered the IPCC in its obligation to carry out a prompt and effective independent investigation into West Yorkshire Police's contact with the family'. IPCC commissioner Cindy Butts said: 'There was a clear public interest in enabling the Independent Police Complaints Commission to scrutinise the actions of West Yorkshire Police officers after the discovery of Hamzah's body in 2011. 'The fact that this was not reported to the IPCC until after a serious case review had been completed in 2013 meant that that process was completed without any independent scrutiny of police action.' Hutton's trial heard how Hamzah's father, Aftab Khan, raised concerns with officers after he was arrested for attacking Hutton but detectives told the court these were investigated and no problems were found. Today, the IPCC said two officers chose not to make a referral to social services after specific allegations of neglect were made during this interview in December 2008.

A lesbian who trapped a female friend in her home before sexually assaulting her has flouted a restraining order by sending the victim threatening texts, a court heard. Jesamine Hearsum stripped naked and attacked the woman during a hour-long hostage ordeal after she refused to have sex with her last year. The 32-year-old was spared jail, despite pleading guilty to false imprisonment, sexual assault, assault by beating and harassment in November. She was handed a three-year restraining order banning her from contacting the victim, and two years in prison, suspended for two years. But the court heard that just a few weeks after she was sentenced, Hearsum began texting the woman. Prosecutor Nick O'Brien said that at first her messages had been apologetic. 'They then changed to wanting her back and then changed again to threatening,' said Mr O'Brien. 'The victim didn't report these breaches because she didn't want to feel responsible for putting Hearsum in prison.' However, he said, Hearsum then sent a text saying 'I should have f***ed you up when I had a chance.' She sent another text saying she should have gone to the victim's boyfriend's house to 'mess him up.' When the victim replied that she would report the texts to the police Hearsum replied 'You should, I am not in the right place.' Hearsum then sent several Facebook messages to the victim's sister before texting 'Did anyone call the Old Bill? Text back.' Mr O'Brien said Hearsum, from Cashes Green, Stroud, was arrested later the same day. At Gloucester Crown Court she admitted two charges of breaching the restraining order but was again spared jail. Judge William Hart deferred sentencing until June 15 and told Hearsum if she behaved herself until then, he would not jail her. Mr O'Brien reminded the court of Hearsum's original offence when she asked the victim to visit her and then tried to coax her into bed before stripping off and throttling her. Hearsum held the woman prisoner in her home for over an hour and threatened her with a knife. At last year's hearing she admitted falsely imprisoning the woman on July 29, 2014 and sexually assaulting her by penetrating her v****a with her finger. She also admitted assaulting the woman by beating and she pleaded guilty to harassing her after the incident by sending numerous texts and Facebook messages which became increasingly intimidating. Prosecutor Julian Kesner told the court last year that Hearsum had rung her friend - who had a boyfriend - last July because she wanted to talk about problems in her relationship. The pair went to the pub and returned to Hearsum's home at 9pm, but the victim went to use the bathroom, she noticed the front door had been locked from the inside and the key was missing.

'So it's wrong on both scores.' Scroll down for video . Defense Secretary Ash Carter has confirmed that a U.S. military officer disclosed 'military secrets' last month when he blurted out the expected timing for an Iraqi-led ground offensive in Mosul . It now appears likely that the offensive will not begin this spring, with Iraq's security forces requiring more time for U.S.-organized training. It has been widely known for months that the offensive is in the planning stages and that it would likely mark a decisive moment in the campaign to dislodge the Islamic State from Iraq. Islamic State fighters overran Mosul last June. Iraqi government forces folded quickly, leading to the start of a U.S.-led bombing campaign in Iraq in August. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was testifying alongside Carter, said he had discussed the Mosul briefing with Gen. Lloyd Austin, head of Central Command. 'He's conducting an internal inquiry,' Dempsey said, adding that he is confident Austin will 'take the appropriate action.' He did not say what that might be.

Part of the triumphant team was Everest veteran George Lowe, who documented the magnificent feat, and his photographs provide a fascinating insight into one of the 20th century's greatest explorations.

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster, insisted parts of Britain would 'grind to a halt' without immigrants, the vast majority of whom 'work hard and make a very positive contribution'. David Cameron's promise to cut net migration to the tens of thousands was left in tatters last week when it emerged the figure reached almost 300,000 in the year to September. Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster, insisted parts of Britain would 'grind to a halt' with immigrants, the vast majority of whom 'work hard and make a very positive contribution' Mr Cameron has admitted that his failure to fulfil his pledge has fuelled public concern about the numbers of people moving to the UK. In a letter sent to Catholic churches across the country, the Church's bishops warn: 'There is a great danger of blaming immigrants for the ills of society.' Cardinal Nichols told BBC One's Andrew Marr show that 'every party has to be tested on its approach to immigration'. 'No government in the last three decades has solved the problem of immigration, so it is a really difficult issue.' Asked if he was dismayed that immigration is such a big issue in the election, he replied: 'Well I am because I do think we need to go back and say what is our stance towards the world around us? 'Do we see ourselves genuinely as a player, as a contributor wanting to build something that is better for everybody?' 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 . Mr Cameron has claimed that cutting immigration to the levels seen in the 1980s would mean it would cease to be a major political issue . Polling data shows the level of public concern about immigration is higher when the numbers coming to Britain have risen. Cardinal Nichols added: 'What I want to keep saying is these are people we're talking about \u2013 the people who drown in the Mediterranean trying to get into Europe, the people who are caged in Calais because they're desperate. 'We have to somehow keep the human person at the front of all of these issues and remember that this city, for example, would grind to a halt without the contribution of people who've come to this country.

A senior coroner today criticised foreign governments and agencies for making it increasingly difficult to obtain evidence into British citizens dying abroad.

The parents of two 'best friend' sisters Pippa and Tara Darlington, who were killed in a car crash while on holiday in Morocco, will never know what caused the accident after British agents were unable to find any information from Moroccan authorities . Pippa (left) and Tara (right) were both students at university. A senior coroner today criticised foreign governments and agencies for making it increasingly difficult to obtain evidence into British citizens dying abroad . Pippa Darlington, a 21-year-old law student at Newcastle University, was driving a VW Golf northbound on the N1, just 14km south of the town of Tarfaya. She and her elder sister Tara, a 23-year-old media student at Goldsmiths College in London who was sitting in the front passenger seat, died at the scene from multiple traumatic injuries. The inquest, at Salisbury Coroner's Court, Wiltshire, heard their car lost control and veered across the carriageway at around 5am local time. Their friend Joshua Stump, then 21, was a backseat passenger in the car when it struck a Renault Clio coming in the opposite direction and spun into a head-on collision with a 4x4. Mr Stump was seriously injured in the collision along with four other people, while five people were treated for minor injuries. Pippa, Tara and Joshua had arrived in Morocco together two days earlier on September 15 2012 on their travels through Africa, where they also visited Mauritania. The sisters, from from Whiteparish near Salisbury, were described as 'each other's soulmates' in moving family statements at the time of their death. Mr Ridley today said that despite attempts to ascertain why Pippa lost control, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office were unable to produce evidence for the inquest. The pair (Tara, left, and Pippa, right) had been travelling across Africa before they were tragically killed . He added the Moroccan authorities may not have even conducted any investigation at all and that Joshua was unable to help with evidence because he was asleep at the time. He added that during his time as a coroner, his investigations have been hampered because he has encountered such problems more regularly in recent years.

The bold new theory suggests that a form of the mysterious particle - which has yet to be directly observed - is absorbed by the sun from the centre of our galaxy. And once inside, it affects the movement of heat within our solar system's star - which could explain why scientists have struggled to explain 'pressure waves' inside the sun. Durham University scientists have proposed a new model for the sun. They say that dark matter may be transferring heat around its interior (artist's illustration shown). This would help explain how pressure waves move around the sun. Current models are insufficient to account for how they move . The theory was put forward by scientists from Durham University. They propose that so-called asymmetric dark matter (ADM) could explain some inconsistencies in the standard solar model. So far, the standard solar model has proved successful in calculating the sun\u2019s density and temperature - but measuring 'pressure waves' in its interior has proved much more difficult. The sun is about 15 million Kelvin in temperature at its core, and 6,000 Kelvin at its surface. 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. Pressure waves are produced as a result of activity on the solar surface. They are not entirely dissimilar to pressure waves - or P -waves - produced on Earth during an earthquake. It has previously been theorised that dark matter originating from elsewhere in the galaxy may have an affect on the sun - particularly its activity and even its structure. \u2018Weakly-interacting dark matter from the galactic halo is captured when it passes through the sun,\u2019 the researchers note in their paper. The dark matter becomes gravitationally trapped within the sun because it does not contain much antimatter. This means it is not destroyed when it interacts with other matter - so the sun likely has a steadily increasing amount of dark matter. And this same dark matter could be having more of an effect on the sun than previously thought. According to the researchers, dark matter (illustration shown) originates in the galactic halo of the Milky Way before passing through the sun - and in some instances, it becomes gravitationally trapped . Dark matter particles are thought to absorb energy in the hottest, central parts of the core.

+{"article": "Polar bears are suffering potentially harmful changes to their brains due to the accumulation of pollution in the arctic, according to a new study. Scientists have found that key processes in the brains of polar bears are being disrupted by man-made chemicals such as stain repellents and water-proofing treatments. They claim this could result in changes to polar bear behaviour and hormone balance that may ultimately affect their ability to survive. As an apex predator, pollutants in the food of polar bears, like the one above, can accumulate in their tissues . The pollutants, known as perfluoroalkly compounds, accumulate in specific areas of polar bears' brains over years of eating contaminated food. The chemicals get into the oceans from run-off from landfill and gradually filter up through the food chain, buidling up in the largest predators. A team of scientists have recently reported that chemical pollutants accumulating in the Arctic may be reducing the density of the bones in the penises of male polar bears. The researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark found that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are associated with a less dense penile bone. They have previously shown bears that have high levels of pollutants named organohalogens, which include PCBs, in their bodies, have smaller than average penis bones and testes. Organohalogens contain at least one halogen such as fluorine or chlorine, and are used as solvents and pesticides, as well as in the making of dyes and drugs. PCBs were used to make paints and rubber goods in the 1930s, but were banned in 2001 after scientists discovered they can cause cancer. The researchers warn that the presence of such chemicals, which tend to accumulate over time in the bodies of top predators from the prey they eat, may have disastrous consequences for polar bear mating. As polar bears are the apex predator in the Arctic, they build up relatively high concentrations of these chemicals. The researchers found that areas of polar bears' brains where levels of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were highest also had disrupted levels of enzyme activity. However, the exact effect the pollution is having on bear behaviour has still to be explored. Katherine Eggers Pedersen, a toxicologist at the University of Copenhagen who led the research, said: Although PFASs have been increasing in the Arctic, and in particular in East Greenland polar bears, over the past three decades, several of the most dominant PFASs have started to decline around 2007. 'However relatively high levels have recently been found in polar bear brains . 'Results from our study support the hypothesis that PFAS concentrations in polar bears from East Greenland have exceeded the threshold limits for neurochemical alterations. 'Given the importance of these systems in cognitive process and motor function, the present results indicate an urgent need for a better understanding of neurochemical effects of PFAS exposure to wildlife.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal Environmental Research, examined the brains of nine polar bears that had been killed by hunters in East Greenland. They then measured the levels of PFASs in different regions of the", "summary": "Researchers at University of Copenhagen studied polar bear brain tissue .

'Nothing is too soon. I will always be thankful to Briatore. All the difficulties I got through at that club and all the demands he made of me gave me the opportunity to grow. It was so demanding on a daily basis \u2013 24 hours every day from the first day I arrived there.' But what of Briatore's notorious habit of involving himself in managerial decisions? 'He tried. But I always fight for my convictions.' Basle manager Paulo Sousa says the Championship is a highly competitive league . Sousa's first job in club management was with Queens Park Rangers between 2008 and 2009 . It is widely believed that these convictions - a refusal to act merely as Briatore's touchline proxy - are what saw Sousa ejected from the Loftus Road hotseat after just 26 games in charge. The two-time Champions League winner would get a second chance at Championship success just two months later though, taking over from Roberto Martinez at Swansea in June 2009. Under chairman Huw Jenkins, Sousa was given time to get his ideas across, and a subsequent seventh-placed finish \u2013 the club's highest for 27 years \u2013 showed it was time well spent.

The home side had dominated for the vast majority of the contest, only to fall behind 20 minutes from time when Tom Walker's shot was deflected past a helpless Ali Al Habsi for the opener. It was a crushing blow for a Wigan side that had hit the bar in the first half through James Perch, had a Leon Clarke goal chalked off for offside and seen Marc-Antoine Fortune fluff a relatively straight-forward heading chance. A 94th-minute goal by substitute Martyn Waghorn rescued a point for Wigan Athletic against Bolton . But they stuck to their task in the second period, and after Ben Amos had denied Jermaine Pennant with a stunning stop, the goalkeeper then tipped a Clarke header on to the bar as well as clawing away a Sheyi Ojo effort. It looked like time would run out on Wigan, but in the fourth of five added minutes, Waghorn equalised with a goal that could yet save their season. Wigan had started the game on the front foot, with Bolton content to play on the break. And the visitors showed their threat inside the early exchanges when Adam Le Fondre led a breakaway only for Gaetan Bong to save the day in the nick of time. Wigan were getting the ball wide at every opportunity to wingers Josh Murphy - making his full debut - and Pennant. But it was through the middle that they nearly broke the deadlock, with Perch's 30-yard effort beating Amos only to hit the bar and come back out. The ball fell invitingly for Clarke, but the striker's header was weak and straight at Amos.

Former Wigan man Emile Heskey had a great opportunity to open the scoring on the half-hour mark but his free header from a corner flashed past the upright. Latics ended the half on a high and should have taken the lead when Murphy's pinpoint cross found Fortune, whose header from point-blank was straight at Amos when either side would surely have brought about the opening goal.

The 23-year-old was only caught when his unnamed victims set up security cameras outside their home to catch the culprit. It came after Ayles, from Twydall, Kent, smeared excrement across the family's car as part of the unexplained vendetta. The court heard how Ayles was too embarrassed to watch the footage of himself after being arrested by police. As the images were shown at Medways Magistrates' Court, Ayles also looked down at the floor with his hand over his mouth. His mother, who was sat in the public gallery, also looked away. Magistrates were told that Ayles first defecated outside the family's home in April last year, but that the victims did not go to the police.

The 22-year-old striker placed talks about a permanent deal in Glasgow on hold in January as he endured a long scoreless run. Guidetti has since scored twice in his last four appearances - raising his tally to 13 overall - but it remains to be seen whether Celtic will put forward a lucrative contract offer to try to persuade him to stay. French giants Marseille and Southampton have also been linked with interest in the striker. Meanwhile, Ronny Deila claims he wants Craig Gordon to stay with Celtic for the remainder of his career. The Parkhead boss has already spoken with chief executive Peter Lawwell about the possibility of a new contract for the keeper, who signed a two-year deal when he joined the club last summer. Gordon's excellent performances since then have been key to Celtic's progress under Deila and brought the 32-year-old firmly back into contention to be Scotland's No1.

'We will do everything to keep him here. I understand why other clubs are looking at him because he's had a fantastic season. Myself and Peter have already talked about this. It's also about what Craig wants and hopefully he wants to stay here and be with Celtic.' Gordon's acquisition on a free transfer was one of the best bargains of recent time in Scottish football.

Malachi Lindo, 27, repeatedly bludgeoned 51 year-old Phillip Steels in the street in Enfield, North London, after taking the ecstasy clone Ethylone. The attack was so savage that when Mr Steels was discovered his face had been damaged beyond recognition and there was a gaping hole in the side of his head. Tesco worker Lindo had admitted the manslaughter of the father-of-four but it was argued on his behalf that he was not guilty of murder because he was suffering an abnormality of his mental functioning at the time. But following a trial at the Old Bailey, a jury last week found Lindo, from Enfield, guilty of murder by a majority of 10 to one. Judge Paul Worsley QC sentenced him to life with a minimum of 14 years behind bars. He said: 'It was a brutal attack. In the early hours of September 4 last year, having taken a cocktail of cannabis and ethylone, you attacked a complete stranger in the street and literally smashed his head in. It was an unprovoked and tragic killing. 'It is argued and agreed by psychiatrists that you were suffering at the time a drug-induced psychosis.' The judge described Lindo as an intelligent man who became the first of his family to go to university, studying law at Queen Mary College in London. This time last year, he was shadowing an Old Bailey judge, he said. But Lindo, who suffered from depression, dropped out of college and set himself up as a drug dealer instead. The court heard that on the evening before the attack, Mr Steels, of Burncroft Avenue, Enfield, had been drinking at home and had later gone out. He had been involved in a long dispute with a neighbour and was said to be angry when he left a friend's house and came across Lindo in Green Street.

Mr Steels, originally from Co Sligo in Ireland, was discovered by police lying on a footpath with the brick lying next to his head. He had a large hole in the left side of his head and his face was damaged beyond recognition, the jury was told.

After a difficult start, Kris Commons has now build a strong relationship with Celtic manager Ronny Deila . The Frenchman lasted barely six months at Ibrox and departed in the wake of a dressing-room revolt. Yet, while the likes of Kris Boyd and Barry Ferguson actively railed against Le Guen\u2019s methods, the resistance to Deila\u2019s changes was more subtle. There was, however, bemusement that the club should seek to change the winning formula that had seen Lennon land three titles in a row alongside consecutive qualifications for the Champions League group stage. Having clinched the major Player of the Year honours and scored 32 times last season, Commons more than most was perhaps entitled to feel his game had little need for refinement. He readily admits to feeling unsettled by the changes that saw the former Stromsgodset chief place a greater emphasis on fitness as he attempted to realise a high-tempo pressing game. As with most human squabbles, communication has proved the key to a solution. Deila\u2019s policy of regularly sitting down to speak individually with his players has given Commons a right of reply and he has used it, returning to first-team prominence and signing a new contract last month.

'Although James may have been played by a Scot, a Welshman and an Irishman, I think he should be \"English-English\",' he continues. 'Nevertheless, it's an interesting idea, but unrealistic.'

Nick Clegg last night issued a damning critique of the use of ancient laws to prosecute journalists pursuing public interest stories. The Lib Dem leader said prosecutors were \u2018relying on 13th century laws\u2019 to put reporters on trial and condemned the lack of a defence for those \u2018uncovering information in the interests of the public\u2019. He is the most senior political figure to raise concerns about the multi-million pound police investigation into tabloid newspaper payments for information, which critics condemn as a \u2018witch hunt\u2019. Operation Elveden, which began in 2011 and has cost taxpayers more than \u00a315million, has seen dawn raids, large numbers of arrests and lengthy bail periods for suspects. But of the 20 journalists whose cases have come before the courts only two have been convicted, and last week one of those, a Sun journalist, was invited to lodge an appeal against his conviction. The rejection of cases by a succession of juries has led to MPs calling for the police and the CPS to look again at the remaining cases. Prosecutors have pursued the newspaper journalists and public sector workers using the ancient common law offence of misconduct in public office. But accused reporters have argued they are pursuing stories which were in the public interest. Speaking at his party\u2019s campaign launch in Abingdon, Oxford, Mr Clegg told the Daily Mail the public interest defence was \u2018just far too opaque in too many of our laws. He also called for a \u2018proper review and proper reform\u2019 of the misconduct law. He said: \u2018I have long been concerned that the laws of the land are not clear enough on the public interest defence for journalists and other people who are covering information in the interests of the public.\u2019 He added: \u2018It\u2019s just far too opaque, in too many of our laws, exactly what is the strength and nature of a public interest defence. \u2018I would like to see that clarified in law, my party has always advocated that. He added: \u2018The fact that prosecutors are relying on 13th century laws, that we don\u2019t have an up-to-date definition of what a public interest defence is, shows the need for a proper review and a proper reform of the law in this area.\u2019 Ten days ago, four Sun journalists were cleared at the Old Bailey of making illegal payments for stories.

Since the menstrual cup - a reusable silicone cup that collects menstrual fluid - is rarely advertised, most women find themselves reluctant to try it. Writing for Healthista.com, I gave the Mooncup (or MCUK, as it is known in the US) a try - to work out what it is, how to use it, and what it actually feels like. WARNING: This is one graphic blog.

Specifically, menstrual cups which collect menstrual fluid, unlike tampons and sanitary pads that absorb it. Scroll down for video . The Mooncup (or MCUK, as it is known in the US) is a reusable silicone cup that collects menstrual fluid . What draws most women to re-usable menstrual cups is that they are economical, eco-friendly and more comfortable as they don\u2019t cause dryness or irritation - a common bugbear of tampon users. \u2018I just feel better about having a Mooncup in my body than I do a tampon,\u2019 one menstrual cup devotee told me. Menstrual cups aren\u2019t new - they were patented in 1932 by a group of U.S. midwives. But not many women use them or even know about them - perhaps due to the fact that menstrual cups aren\u2019t widely promoted \u2013 or sold. Conglomerates such as Procter & Gamble are unlikely to throw big money into a product that only sells once every five years, when they can sell multiple products to one woman every month. Mother-of-four Genny Wilkinson-Priest says she was initially sceptical about menstrual cups - but was surprised at how effective hers was . With the global tampon market projected to top $2.6 billion in 2015, according to market research firm Global Industry Analysts, why would they put their money anywhere else? There are many menstrual cup brands on the market - the Femmecup, the Diva Cup, the Intimina and more.

+{"article": "Speaking two languages really could give you a split personality, researchers have found. They say that many speakers have entirely different personalities in each of the languages they speak. Previously research has even found those who are bilingual even see colours differently. Researchers say that speaking in another language can change our personality. 'Rather than ask whether speakers of different languages have different minds, he says, 'we ask, Can two different minds exist within one person?' said psycholinguist Panos Athanasopoulos of Lancaster University. 'The extent to which language affects this process has been the focus of a long-standing debate: Do different languages cause their speakers to behave differently?,' the team wrote. 'Here, we show that fluent German-English bilinguals categorize motion events according to the grammatical constraints of the language in which they operate. Athanasopoulos and colleagues were interested in a particular difference in how English and German speakers treat events. English has a grammatical toolkit for situating actions in time: 'I was sailing to Bermuda and I saw Elvis' is different from 'I sailed to Bermuda and I saw Elvis.' German doesn't have this feature. As a result, German speakers tend to specify the beginnings, middles, and ends of events, but English speakers often leave out the endpoints and focus in on the action. Looking at the same scene, for example, German speakers might say, 'A man leaves the house and walks to the store,' whereas an English speaker would just say, 'A man is walking.' This linguistic difference seems to influence how speakers of the two languages view events, according to the research. 'First, as predicted from cross-linguistic differences in motion encoding, participants functioning in a German testing context prefer to match events on the basis of motion completion to a greater extent than participants in an English context. Learning to speak a second language at any point in your life could help keep your brain sharp as you age, a study suggests. The University of Edinburgh detected a pattern of slower mental decline among the bilingual in a group of 835 born in 1936. They were given an intelligence test in 1947 at the age of 11, then retested in their early 70s between 2008 and 2010. A total of 262 participants could communicate in at least one language other than English. Of those, 195 learnt the second language before the age of 18. Those who spoke two or more languages had significantly better cognitive abilities in their 70s than their peers. The strongest effect of bilingualism was seen in general intelligence and reading tests. 'Our study shows that bilingualism, even when acquired in adulthood, may benefit the ageing brain,' study authors said. 'Second, when participants suffer verbal interference in English, their categorization behavior is congruent with that predicted for German and when we switch the language of interference to German, their categorization becomes congruent with that predicted for English.

But McMullin warns complaining to the supervising body is the 'worst thing' trainees could do. 'Despite that victory, she has never been appointed to a public position in a hospital in Australasia,' she said of the case. 'Her career was ruined by this one guy asking for sex on this night.'

As a redhead, 51-year-old Sian Gibson was used to having freckles \u2014 they\u2019d covered her arms, face and chest since childhood. But in 2008, she noticed a new freckle, darker than usual and larger \u2014 the size of a small fingernail \u2014 on her ankle. \u2018I don\u2019t have many freckles on my legs, so I noticed it straight away,\u2019 says Sian, a mother of three and grandmother of five. \u2018My GP told me it was nothing and not to worry about it. But, of course, I did. At the time, there was a campaign about the importance of early detection of skin cancer. Every time I caught sight of the freckle, I would be reminded of how much I wanted to be around for my family.\u2019 However, instead of returning to her GP to ask for a hospital appointment, Sian, from Boston, Lincolnshire, turned to her mobile phone for medical advice. \u2018I\u2019d recently got an iPhone and was downloading the apps that were just becoming available,\u2019 she says. \u2018One evening, I searched online for \u201clarge freckle\u201d and found my way to a free app that claimed to be a mole evaluator that would identify at-risk moles. I thought: \u201cWhy not? What have I got to lose?\u201d \u2019 Sian was ahead of the times. Apps, short for applications \u2014 programs that can be downloaded to run on a smartphone \u2014 were few and far between in 2008. Today, they\u2019ve become essential to most people\u2019s lives. With 100,000 health apps available in Britain and more launching every week, the medical sector is a market leader \u2014 with apps to track calories consumed and kilometres jogged, give first aid advice, provide cognitive behavioural therapy for phobias and remind people to take medication. One in five health apps claims to support a diagnosis, as with Sian\u2019s mole app. One program turns your mobile phone into an electrocardiogram, tracking heart rhythms and emailing the results to a doctor, while others allow patients to record blood pressure or blood sugar. In 2013, the global market for health apps was worth $2.4 billion, according to market research firm research2guidance \u2014 and this is predicted to rise to $26 billion by 2017.

Police chiefs have been urged to wind up the hunt for Madeleine McCann as detectives battle the terror threat and a spate of murders. A team of 31 British detectives are working exclusively to find the girl, who vanished from her parents\u2019 holiday apartment in Portugal eight years ago. The Metropolitan Police was tasked with investigating the disappearance after her family made a personal plea to David Cameron in 2011. Yet despite costing the taxpayer \u00a310million and dozens of trips by officers to the Algarve, the inquiry \u2013 codenamed Operation Grange \u2013 has not led to a single arrest. Now a senior police union leader has called for the probe to be axed and the detectives reassigned to other investigations in the UK. He says officers in London are bemused why they are working round-the-clock fighting the threat from Islamic State-inspired jihadists and solve at least 14 murders since Christmas while the Operation Grange detectives are barred from helping. Metropolitan Police Federation chairman John Tully said: \u2018It is time to re-focus on what we need to do to keep London safe. We no longer have the resources to conduct specialist inquiries all over the world which have nothing to do with London. \u2019The Met has long been seen as the last resort for investigations others have struggled with elsewhere. \u2018It is surprising to see an inquiry like the McCann investigation ring-fenced. I have heard a few rumblings of discontent about it from lots of sources. \u2018When the force is facing a spike in murder investigations it is not surprising there is resentment of significant resources diverted to a case that has no apparent connection with London.\u2019 Even though Madeleine\u2019s parents Kate, 47, and Gerry, 46, live in Rothley, Leicestershire, Scotland Yard was handed the investigation because of its expertise in investigating complex murder case. Police chiefs \u2018ring-fenced\u2019 the inquiry to prevent officers working on other case, even though the force has been forced to make \u00a3600million in cuts over four years. Operation Grange was set up to review the original Portuguese police probe into the disappearance of Madeleine, then three, from the family\u2019s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007. The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into Maddie's disappearance after her parents, pictured above, made a personal plea to PM David Cameron in 2011 . After the Portuguese inquiry was shelved as \u2018unsolved\u2019, the McCanns, who remain convinced their daughter is alive, appealed to Mr Cameron for assistance. Since the girl, who would now be 11, vanished, every possible theory has been explored, including that she was kidnapped by a paedophile, killed during a botched burglary and her body dumped, snatched by traffickers and sold to a childless couple and that she wandered out of the apartment and died in a tragic accident.

+{"article": "George Osborne announced scrapping income tax paid on interest from regular high street accounts . The Chancellor heralded a savings revolution yesterday by scrapping income tax paid on interest from regular high street accounts. In a major move to counter the effects of years of historically low interest rates, he announced a new personal savings allowance that will make ordinary accounts tax-free for 95 per cent of the population. It means a basic rate taxpayer can earn \u00a31,000 in savings interest without paying tax. A higher rate taxpayer will be able to earn \u00a3500. At current rates, a basic rate taxpayer would need to have more than \u00a370,000 in an average account to go over the new \u00a31,000 allowance. By stopping tax on savings the Chancellor has effectively handed a 20 per cent boost to the rates earned by most savers in the UK. The Revenue estimates that the allowance will benefit some 28 million savers. The way savings are taxed is currently riddled with complications. Every year someone can pay in \u00a315,000 to a cash Isa where interest is paid tax-free. But on a standard high street savings account, interest is taxed at the saver\u2019s normal rate of income tax. This tax is automatically deducted by a bank and building society before the interest is paid, and passed directly to HM Revenue & Customs. Higher earners paying 40 per cent or 45 per cent income tax are supposed to declare the interest they receive on a self-assessment form. Lower earners who do not pay income tax can fill in a form to stop the tax being deducted. These deductions mean that someone with \u00a320,000 in a high street savings account paying 2 per cent would earn only \u00a3320 a year interest if they were a basic rate taxpayer. A higher rate tax payer would earn \u00a3240 and a top rate taxpayer \u00a3220. If the interest was untaxed the saver would earn \u00a3400. In addition to this, those with total income below \u00a315,600 a year can apply to have their savings interest paid tax-free. Every year thousands of pensioners who can claim tax-free interest on their savings miss out on this perk because they do not realise they qualify. It means a basic rate taxpayer can earn \u00a31,000 in savings interest without paying tax, while a higher rate taxpayer will be able to earn \u00a3500 . Figures from HM Revenue & Customs suggest around \u00a31.8billion a year is received a year in savings interest tax. George Osborne said Britain will be back in the black before the end of the decade \u2013 as he shot down Labour\u2019s claims that he is taking the country back to the 1930s. The Chancellor outlined plans to bank a surplus of \u00a35.2billion in 2018-19 \u2013 the first since 2001 \u2013 as he hailed a UK \u2018that is growing, creating jobs and paying its way\u2019.

Alex Gibney said in a recent interview he does not understand why Cruise has refused to comment on the numerous claims made against him and Scientology over the years, going so far as to call his silence 'irresponsible.'

Then, while Cruise was away with Kidman in England working on the Stanley Kurbrick film Eyes Wide Shut, Rathbun claims the actor ordered the church to tap his wife's phone. Rathbun says he was shocked by this demand, but did as he was told. Rathbun, who also claims he was beaten and abused by Miscavige, did not say what, if any, information was obtained through the tapping of Kidman's phone, but the two did split just a few years later, at which time Cruise became a highly vocal supporter of Scientology.

Ferguson hit the headlines in August when a white policeman fatally shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, setting off protests that spread to major cities across the United States and triggered a national debate about police tactics, especially in relation to African Americans. Last week a scathing US Justice Department report faulted Ferguson for using its police and municipal court to generate revenue by targeting the African-American majority in the St. Louis suburb of 21,000. Wednesday night's shooting came hours after Ferguson's embattled police chief Thomas Jackson resigned. The city manager and municipal judge have also quit. One of the police officers was hit in the face, the other in the shoulder, sparking a manhunt for those responsible and putting the flashpoint town on edge once more.

A retired British solicitor who was killed in a terror attack on a museum in Tunisia died from wounds to her stomach and pelvis, an inquest heard. Mother-of-two Sally Adey, of Caynstall, near Shifnal, Shropshire, is one of more than 20 people who died after gunmen attacked tourists at the Bardo National Museum in Tunis. The terror attack was the worst of its kind in Tunisia for 13 years. Mrs Adey had been on a Mediterranean cruise with her 52-year-old husband Robert, who survived the attack and had to identify his wife's body. Gunmen started shooting people after they were able to sneak into the museum on March 18, killing more than 20 people - including 17 tourists who had been on the cruise. Two gunmen who carried out the atrocity were subsequently killed in a firefight with security forces. On Sunday the Tunisian government confirmed that terror chief Khaled Chaieb, also known as Abou Sakhr Lokman, was killed overnight in an operation in the Gafsa region near the Algerian border. He was one of the country's most dangerous terrorists and is believed to have been involved in the museum shooting. Coroner's officer Julie Hartridge, of Shrewsbury Coroners' Court, said retired solicitor Mrs Adey and her husband had left the luxury cruise ship MSC Splendour earlier that day before going into the museum on an excursion. She said a postmortem carried out on May 25 had established provisional cause of death as 'consistent with gunshot wounds to the abdomen and pelvis'. Scroll down for video .

That\u2019s five World Cups now, their aura disseminated on five different continents \u2013 Asia (1987), Europe (1999), Africa (2003), North America (2007), and Australasia (2015). If they ever stage the tournament in Antarctica, the rest of the world may as well save themselves the air fare.

But their refusal to tolerate failing systems can. Michael Clarke was the impressive leader of Australia's equally impressive World Cup triumph . No team could stop the Aussies claiming yet another World Cup, this time on home soil . Less than two years ago everyone was having a good chuckle at Homeworkgate and David Warner. Australia lost 4-0 in India, Warner swung for Joe Root, and Mickey Arthur was put out to pasture a fortnight before the Ashes.

Brad Haddin, who claimed he felt uncomfortable about New Zealand\u2019s niceness during the build-up to the group game at Auckland, was at the centre of things, as he often is. After Martin Guptill was bowled by Glenn Maxwell, Haddin felt the need to clap his gloves in Guptill\u2019s face.

+{"article": "When Adam Scott waved a short putter to magical effect during the first round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral on Thursday, he effectively consigned to history one of the most contentious subjects the game has known. Nine months ahead of the official death knell for long putters, the great and good have seemingly imposed their own sanction. The banishment was started by Ernie Els and Webb Simpson, who snapped his over his knee to ensure he would not be tempted any more. Then came Keegan Bradley, leaving Scott as the last man standing in terms of players who won majors using a long putter. Australian Adam Scott putts for birdie on the eighth green during the WGC-Cadillac Championship . Scott watches his tee shot on the 14th hole in the second round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship . It was this group who forced the hands of the governing bodies when they claimed all four majors between them in the space of just 18 months, from Bradley's PGA Championship triumph in 2011 through to Scott's Masters victory in 2013. The authorities were persuaded by the powerful evidence that less nerve was needed in anchoring a long putter to the body and the plain inequity that such a crutch could prove decisive at a major. Hence the ban on anchoring which, by extension, meant the end for long putters. Scott was the most high-profile since his long putter was the ugliest contraption of all. As long as he kept turning up with it in his bag, the subject rumbled on. It was during a three-month break that the genial Australian decided it was time to change. His caddie Steve Williams had announced his retirement while Scott's wife had given birth to their first child, Bo. 'Everything was getting a little boring so I thought why not change everything completely and ditch the putter as well,' said Scott (right), wryly. At home he experimented with a range of 50 different putters. He tried various grips and methods. By the time he arrived in Miami, Scott was confident enough to announce he was going back to the short putter he last wielded in competition in 2011. Scott plays his second shot on the 10th hole in the second round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship . The Australian chips the ball out of the bunker and onto the 11th green at the WGC-Cadillac Championship . The 34-year-old admitted to some first-hole nerves and genuine concern as to how it would hold up over long putts. As things turned out, it went better than he could have imagined. Using the 'claw' grip favoured by Sergio Garcia, the putting stroke looked pure and he had just 27 putts in an opening round of 70. 'I'm really pleased,' Scott said afterwards. 'I've tried not to clutter my mind and I've shown myself it is not that big a deal. It helps that I used a short putter for years, so the adjustment was really to do with muscle memory.'

But it seems he was most worried about his mother finding out where he was. The messages, published by The Sun, reveal Mr Scurfield began looking for a way to get out to Syria to join up with the YPG at least a month before he arrived in Syria. He was recruited by the Lions of Rojava, and by November 3 had clear plans in place for reaching their base in Syria. On December 6, using a Facebook account set up under a fake name so his friends could keep in touch, he messages to say he has arrived safely in Syria, and met up with two other foreign fighters.

The 22-seater Gulfstream II plane, valued at $4.5million, is stuck on the tarmac at Miami Executive airport while its new owners do battle in court. Jose Avelino Goncalves, 49, a Venezuelan, has been accused making off with the plane after holding back more than $3million of what he agreed to pay a business partner for it. Bin grounded: This plane, which used to belong to Osama bin Laden's family, has been grounded in Miami amid a legal dispute between subsequent owners . Suspect: Jose Goncalves, 45, is accused of agreeing to buy the plane then not paying up. It was owned by the family of Osama bin Laden (right) until 1980 . Officers in Miami-Dade county have taken custody of the corporate vehicle, the Miami Herald reported. The Gulfstream II is a staple of international luxury travel, which rich businessmen often kit out with lavish interiors. Ownership records show that the plane belonged to the billionaire Bin Laden clan until 1980. At that point, Osama is thought to have just graduated from university in Saudi Arabia, and was still years away from founding al-Qaeda. His elder half-brother, Salem bin Laden, was then head of the family, which made its fortune from oil. It has changed owners more than a dozen times since then - complicated by the fact that foreigners are not allowed to own U.S. planes directly, so often register them under companies. The jet was recently owned by Luis Enrique Nu\u00f1ez-Villanueva, a former business partner of Goncalves, who is now suing him over it. State prosecutors, who are also trying Goncalves on fraud and theft charges, say he agreed to buy the plane from Nu\u00f1ez-Villanueva for $4.5million. Goncalves allegedly agreed to pay $1.5million up-front for it, and make monthly payments of $500,000 until the balance was covered. But it is claimed he only ever paid $829,196. Goncalves's lawyers, however, have characterized the spat as a 'misunderstanding' and say Nu\u00f1ez- Villanueva took the $829,196 unlawfully to buy himself a helicopter. Goncalves is being held in Miami on a $4.5million bond during the trial, as prosecutors fear he could flee the country is left to go free.

Hindus, who make up 80 per cent of India's 1.2billion population, consider cows sacred.

Youngsters who get themselves Saturday jobs may end up harming their grades, a report has found. Jamie Oliver (pictured with his wife and children) says he will encourage his kids to work in his pub on weekends . But a new study by the Institute for Social and Economic at the University of Essex found teenagers who take on part-time jobs experience a slip in their GCSE results. This is because earning extra cash makes it more likely for youngsters to spend it unwisely \u2013 including on alcohol, cigarettes and and cannabis. And the effect was found to be more drastic for girls. Despite having millionaires for parents, Brooklyn Beckham took on weekend shifts at a coffee shop . Results showed an extra hour of work per week in Year 10 saw their results drop around one grade in one subject the following year. The study analysed the hours these young people spent working and the impact of this on time spent on study time, other activities and their grades at GCSE level. Dr Angus Holford, who wrote the report called Youth Employment and Academic Performance, says approximately a quarter of 13 to 16-year-olds take on some form of formal paid employment during term time. \u2018This can be a good thing \u2013 they earn their own money and can pick up useful skills, which might help them find full-time work in the future,\u2019 he said, according to The Observer. \u2018However, they may spend that hard-earned money on less than useful things, or fall in with a different group of people. \u2018We did find that schoolchildren who worked became more likely to drink alcohol regularly, smoke or consume cannabis.\u2019 He added the long-term effect of employment would be particularly damaging for \u2018borderline students\u2019 \u2013 those who are at risk of not achieving the targets needed (five A*-C grades, including English and mathematics) to progression into further education.

Many great sides have hounded and harassed referees over the years. It\u2019s a characteristic at times of their determination to win and their unity. So when Chelsea surrounded referee Bjorn Kuipers to get Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off on Wednesday it wasn\u2019t something new, or a modern phenomenon that has been creeping up on us. It has nothing to do with foreign players and managers coming into the game. It\u2019s been a part of English football for years. Having said that, now is the time to draw a line and punish teams that overstep the mark in this way, as I believe Chelsea did on Wednesday and I think it could be done with a simple amendment to the rules. Almost all the Chelsea squad surrounded referee Bjorn Kuipers after an incident at Stamford Bridge . If a referee feels that he is being aggressively hounded by a group of players he should have the power to reverse the decision and award the free kick the other way. So on Wednesday night, he could still have sent off Ibrahimovic if he really felt it was a red card offence but Chelsea would have lost the advantage of a free kick. It wouldn\u2019t immediately cut out hounding refs but it would be a nudge in the right direction. Behaviour only changes if managers are encouraged to discipline their players. At the moment, it\u2019s worthwhile clamouring round a referee to get a decision, so few coaches would discourage their players from doing so. However, if you felt that by hounding the referee, your team might lose a potential goal-scoring opportunity, because you would miss out on a free kick on the edge of the box, managers would soon start telling their players to exercise more restraint. And over-zealous appealing for penalties would stop pretty quickly. Imagine losing the chance to take a penalty kick because you had surrounded the referee. The manager would be furious. Referees are only human. Kuipers might have looked at the Ibrahimovic tackle and thought it was a 50-50 decision. But when you have 38,000 people screaming for the red card and then you have a group of players around demanding it too, all of that activity around him might make him feel it\u2019s a 90 per cent decision.

The twice-a-day tablet has carried the FDA's strongest warning label since 2009, following reports of suicidal tendencies and violent or bizarre behavior among some patients. The FDA on Monday outlined several updates to Chantix's labeling, including a new warning about its potential interaction with alcohol. Some patients have reported unusual or aggressive behavior when drinking while on Chantix. Caution: Anti-smoking drug Chantix has carried the FDA's strongest warning label since 2009, following reports of suicidal tendencies and violent or bizarre behavior among some patients . 'The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning that the prescription smoking cessation medicine Chantix (varenicline) can change the way people react to alcohol,' the agency said. 'In addition, rare accounts of seizures in patients treated with Chantix have been reported. We have approved changes to the Chantix label to warn about these risks. Until patients know how Chantix affects their ability to tolerate alcohol, they should decrease the amount of alcohol they drink. Patients who have a seizure while taking Chantix should stop the medicine and seek medical attention immediately.' The updated labeling also includes information from several studies and analyses conducted by Pfizer that found no difference in psychiatric problems between people taking Chantix and other stop-smoking treatments. 'These studies did not show an increased risk of neuropsychiatric side effects with Chantix; however, they did not examine all types of neuropsychiatric side effects, and they had limitations that prevented us from drawing reliable conclusions,' the FDA said. Last year Pfizer proposed that the FDA remove Chantix's so-called black box warning based on the company's findings and other data. Warning: The FDA on Monday outlined several updates to Chantix's labeling, including a new warning about its potential interaction with alcohol. Some patients have reported unusual or aggressive behavior when drinking while on Chantix . The agency's update follows the recommendation of a panel of outside experts, who voted last October to keep the boxed warning on the drug until it can be reevaluated based on new information. New York-based Pfizer is expected to complete a larger study of Chantix's psychiatric side effects in late 2015. Chantix's safety has been debated in medical journals and courtrooms since 2007, when reports of suicide, agitation and other problems first began streaming into the FDA. The drug's labeling currently tells patients to stop taking Chantix immediately if they experience agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thinking and other behavioral changes. Doctors are advised to weigh the drug's risks against its potential benefits of helping patients quit smoking. Pfizer's drug works by binding to the same spots in the brain that are activated by nicotine when people smoke. The drug, known generically as varenicline, blocks nicotine from binding to those spots and prevents the release of 'feel-good' brain chemicals that make smoking so addictive.", "summary": "The FDA is keeping a bold-letter warning on Pfizer's anti-smoking drug Chantix about suicidal behavior and other psychiatric side effects .

And they now plan to study this group to learn more about how our move away from the natural rhythm could be damaging our health. Researchers have discovered a rural community in Brazil that follows the 'natural sleep cycles' (stock image) of our ancestors who rose with the sun, and typically went to bed when it set. The experts now plan to study this group to learn more about how our move away from the natural rhythm could be damaging our health . The community was discovered in the small town of Baependi in south-eastern Brazil in the state of Minais Gerais. Researchers from the University of Surrey and the University of S\u00e3o Paulo studied the population and asked them questions about their sleep habits and patterns. 'In big cities, the availability of cheap electricity has brought us both artificial lighting and a multitude of other electronic devices that compete with us going to sleep at night,' said lead author Dr Malcolm von Schantz from the University of Surrey. 'As a result, most of us go to bed much later than our ancestors did, and, many of us are sleeping less. 'Even though the people in Baependi have access to electricity and television, their daily rhythms are much closer to those of previous generations. 'Studying this population is like being able to look back at past generations through a pair of binoculars and provide an insight into the benefit this natural pattern may be having on their health.' Historian Roger Ekirch of Virginia Tech recently revealed an 'overwhelming amount of historical evidence' that suggested we used to sleep in stages. He found more than 500 references about ancestors sleeping in two shorter periods throughout the night. The total sleep would occur in a 12-hour period that began with up to four hours sleep, an 'awake period' of four hours and then ended with a second four-hour sleep. These days it is widely accepted human sleep patterns are governed by the 'circadian rhythm'. This is the 24-hour cycle of being awake and then, when it becomes dark, resting. 'However, built into this 24-hour pattern is a series of shorter cycles of about 90 minutes - called the \"ultradian rhythm\",' added Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, author of Tired But Wired: How To Overcome Your Sleep Problems. This explains smaller peaks and troughs of energy throughout the day. Dr Ramlakhan believes this ultradian rhythm is a throwback to our hunter-gatherer years. And while we tend to pay much more attention to the 24-hour cycle than the 90-minute one, Dr Ramlakhan believes the body works best when we move with these natural ultradian rhythms, building in pauses, stopping and resting, so continually renewing our energy.

+{"article": "Andreas Lubitz (above) had received treatment for 'suicidal tendencies' but doctors were apparently unable to tell his employer because of strict secrey laws introduced after WWII to prevent a repeat of government spying during the Nazi era . Strict German privacy laws which prevented doctors treating Andreas Lubitz from telling his airline about his 'suicidal tendencies' were introduced in response to Nazi rule. 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 devastating consequences after tearing up a sick note for the day of the crash. The findings from the investigation have prompted heated debate in Germany on a patient's right to privacy, with Chancellor Angela Merkel proposing an inquiry to re-examine the law. Draconian legislation was initially brought in after World War Two to prevent a repeat of government spying during the Nazi era and subsequently the Stasi secret police in East Germany. This extends far beyond confidential medical data, however, to stringent protection of someone's identity, meaning many German publications only referred to Lubitz as Andreas L, even after his death. Further data protection laws traced back to 1907, which enshrines the 'right to your own picture', also mean images can only be published with the individual's consent, it was reported by the Times. With respect to medical data, the criminal code can ultimately leave doctors between a rock and a hard place. For it only allows them breach confidentiality when they have reason to believe that sharing their knowledge could prevent 'a particularly serious crime' or a threat to someone's life. They can face a year in prison if they wrongly breach privacy, but up to five years in jail for withholding 'credible information about the planning or commission' of serious acts like murder. Despite the variation in sentences, doctors have tended to favour the individual's privacy. Still reeling from last Tuesday's disaster that killed 150 people, many in Germany are now debating whether the potential to neutralise threats to public safety should trump doctor-patient privilege. A transport policy expert from Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), Dirk Fischer, said strict confidentiality policy should be loosened when their patients work in sensitive fields. Professionals such as pilots 'should only see doctors designated by their employers,' Fischer told the daily Rheinische Post. He added that such doctors 'should be relieved of their pledge of secrecy in communication with the employer and the aviation authority'.

They say it is wrong that women are no longer invited for mammograms once they reach 70 when they are more likely to die than those in their 50s and 60s. The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer also warns that an age-bias in the NHS is denying thousands of older women life-saving surgery and chemotherapy. They say attempts by ministers to end this culture have been \u2018limited\u2019, \u2018disappointing\u2019 and \u2018too slow.\u2019 The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer says it is wrong that women are no longer invited for mammograms once they reach 70 when they are more likely to die than those in their 50s and 60s (file image) Although the risk of breast cancer slightly declines once a women reaches 70, she is actually more likely to die from the illness than younger age groups. This is because the illness is often diagnosed in the late stages when it has already spread to the liver, brain or lungs and is difficult to treat. Experts say older women are less mindful of the symptoms than younger generations and tend to have a stoical attitude so don\u2019t want to bother their GP . The NHS\u2019s screening programme invites women for three-yearly mammograms between the ages of 50 and 70. Older women can still have X-rays for free but they must go to the trouble of finding a clinic and booking an appointment on their own initiative. MPs also fear that thousands of older women are being denied life-saving surgery or chemotherapy . Tory MP Steve Brine, chairman of the group, said this led women to wrongly assume that once they had passed 70 they were \u2018in the clear\u2019. He added: \u2018There are generational issues. Young women are quite comfortable about talking about this whereas the older generation aren\u2019t. \u2018We are concerned at the slow pace of change. Whilst 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 that is most appropriate to them. 'Women should be given treatment on their fitness, not their age.\u2019 There are 8,300 cases of breast cancer in the UK a year in women in their 70s, compared to 12,800 in their 60s and 10,600 in their 50s.

Dr Fran Woodard, of Macmillan Cancer Support, said: \u2018Too often older people don\u2019t get treatment when they need it. 'Also, older women are more likely to have the perception that they are wasting a doctor\u2019s time, which means they can delay visiting a doctor and are therefore more likely to be diagnosed later.\u2019 Scientists have developed a scoring system to predict the risk of developing heart disease or a stroke within ten years.

He said: 'In the 15th century it was not unusual for girls to be married between the ages of 15 and 19 and the average number of children born to one mother was between five and seven. 'Childbirth was a dangerous time in a woman's life, and most wrote wills when they knew they were pregnant.

US tycoon Donald Trump has unveiled plans for a new multi-million pound investment in his Scottish golf resort - despite previously vowing to halt all developments on the 200-acre site. The billionaire will be submitting a proposal for a number of additions to Trump International Golf Links, Scotland, including staff accommodation, a banquet hall and 400-capacity ballroom. The move comes two years after he threatened not to invest 'another penny' in the project over plans to build an offshore wind farm off the Aberdeen coast, which he said would spoil scenic views. In a statement released on the planning proposals, The Trump Organization claimed Swedish utility firm Vattenfall, the primary developers behind the farm, could no longer finance the project. It also said the technology 'is now widely regarded to be obsolete and outdated'. The company said that this, combined with other stakeholders withdrawing from the project, had led to confidence being restored that the 'shoreline will not be blighted' by the 'industrial energy plant'. Despite this, Mr Trump will continue his legal challenge to the decision to grant the farm planning permission off the Aberdeen coast. A spokesman denied this claim on behalf of Vattenfall, and its project partners, Aberdeen Renewable Energy group, stating that they 'want to see the scheme to come to fruition'. Mr Trump called Trump International Golf Links, Scotland, which opened in July 2012, 'one of his greatest achievements' and said his commitment to develop the site 'was stronger than ever'. The businessman is now pushing ahead with expanding the site, known collectively as the Menie Estate, with further applications for private houses and hotel rooms tabled for later in the year. His current application includes public notifications for a second gold course and additional hotel accommodation and facilities at the five-star MacLeod House and Lodge, named after his mother. George Sorial, executive vice-president of the Trump Organisation, said: 'This will be a substantial investment - it really will allow us to carry out the original vision that Mr Trump had for the entire site. Our work there is not done.' The billionaire has submitted a proposal for a number of additions to the Aberdeenshire estate including staff accommodation, a banquet hall and more rooms in MacLeod House, illustrated with an artist's impression .

Allegation: Detectives investigating claims of a VIP paedophile sex ring have been passed lurid allegations relating to Enoch Powell, above . Powell is one of several high-profile names passed to Scotland Yard by Bishop of Durham Paul Butler, who is leading the review. The Bishop has also handed detectives the name of Leo Abse, the flamboyant Welsh MP who died in 2008 aged 91. Last night the Church of England confirmed that both names had been passed on to detectives from Operation Fernbridge, a Metropolitan Police inquiry into an alleged Westminster VIP paedophile network. The Right Rev Butler was given the politicians\u2019 names by Dominic Walker, former Bishop of Monmouth, who heard the allegations when he was a vicar counselling in the 1980s. Mr Walker told senior clerics that Abse was named by three abuse survivors whom he counselled when he was a vicar in Brighton in the 1980s. He also passed on the names of two former Conservative cabinet ministers, who have not yet been publicly linked to the scandal.

The claims against Powell and Abse have emerged amid mounting claims of a paedophile network involving Establishment figures, which was allegedly covered up by Special Branch.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan has directed a lower-court judge to consider whether the lawsuit she threw out should be transferred to Oklahoma, saying she has authority to do so. The court's order on Thursday came as the school found itself amid a racial controversy after video of fraternity students engaged in a racist chant spread across the Internet. Dr. Leone-Noelle Meyer maintained she is entitled to Pissarro's 1886 'Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep' because it belonged to her father when it was taken by the Nazis as Germany moved across France . University President David Boren ordered a fraternity house closed and expelled two of its members after reviewing clips of the chant that referenced lynching and said blacks would never be allowed in the fraternity.

Her father, Raoul Mayer, died in 1970. Swiss records show Meyer's father in Paris had owned the painting.

Bishop said: 'The University is continuing its efforts to work with the plaintiffs to determine all the facts in this matter, some of which may still be unknown, and to seek a mutually agreeable resolution.' Last year, Boren defended Oklahoma University's ownership, saying the school does not want to keep any items it does not legitimately own but also wants to avoid a bad precedent by automatically giving away gifts it receives to anyone who claims them. Boren and the school have opposed the lawsuit on largely procedural grounds, saying the school has sovereign immunity and that Meyer was not diligent in pursuing her claim and had sued in New York rather than Oklahoma as a 'forum shopping strategy' to avoid Oklahoma's more restrictive statute of limitations.

A Gareth Bale double, his first goals in 10 matches, had put Real in control by halftime and they appeared to be cruising to a big win but Levante pushed Real hard in the second half and had chances to get back into the game.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska sued the state in November on behalf of seven same-sex couples challenging the ban, which passed with the approval of 70 percent of voters in 2000. In addition to prohibiting gay marriage, the ban also forbids civil unions and legalized domestic partnerships. The ban means that same-sex couples miss out on medical and financial benefits available to heterosexual married couples, U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon said as he issued the injunction. Legal fight: The ACLU of Nebraska sued the state in November on behalf of seven same-sex couples challenging the ban. ACLU of Nebraska Executive Director Danielle Conrad is seen speaking February 19 . 'All of the plaintiffs have further demonstrated psychological harm and stigma, on themselves and on their children, as a result of the non-recognition of their marriages,' he said in the 34-page ruling. 'The plaintiffs have been denied the dignity and respect that comes with the rights and responsibilities of marriage.' Bataillon rejected the state's argument that the ban reflects the will of a majority of voters and promotes family stability. He said he believes the U.S. Supreme Court will ultimately endorse same-sex marriage rights, which have been upheld in four appellate districts. 'The notion that some children should receive fewer legal protections than others based on the circumstances of their birth is not only irrational \u2014 it is constitutionally repugnant,' he said. His order blocking the ban takes effect March 9. Bataillon previously struck down Nebraska's gay marriage ban in 2005, saying it violated the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians. An 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel reinstated the ban in 2006. According to the court's online records, the Nebraska attorney general's office filed an appeal straight after Bataillon issued the injunction. A spokeswoman for Republican Attorney General Doug Peterson said attorneys in their office were reviewing the ruling and would issue a statement later Monday. Missouri, Arkansas and South Dakota have appeals against stays on same-sex marriage bans pending before the 8th Circuit. Gov. Pete Ricketts, a Republican, said the majority of Nebraskans voted for the constitutional amendment.

Severely allergic: 16-year-old Scott Johnson of Bemidji had been to the hospital due to dairy exposure before. His family had learned to be very careful about what and where he ate .

+{"article": "Bryan Robson has paid Chris Smalling a huge compliment by likening his recent performances to those of Paul McGrath and Gary Pallister. Five years after signing for United, Smalling is yet to convince many United fans he and Phil Jones are suitable long-term replacements for Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand, who left Old Trafford last summer after long and distinguished careers. The 25-year-old has been the object of a few taunts, most recently in the Manchester derby last November when he was sent off in the 39th minute. Manchester United defender Chris Smalling (centre) has impressed Bryan Robson in recent weeks . Robson believes Smalling's passing has been 'crisper' during his displays against Arsenal and Newcastle . Smalling, already on a booking, showed a complete lack of composure by hacking down James Milner in the corner to earn his second yellow and United went on to lose 1-0 against a City team that was there for the taking. Smalling has since shown signs of improvement, though. His commanding performance in last week's 3-0 victory over Tottenham caught Robson's eye and the former United captain thinks that bodes well for Louis van Gaal ahead of Sunday's trip to Anfield. Robson said: 'Chris is a good defender. I have seen him improve over the last few games. 'I even thought against Arsenal and Newcastle away, his passing was a lot better, a lot crisper, so he has come on to a good game, he is in good form at the moment and that will be important at Liverpool.' Smalling kept 26-goal striker Harry Kane quiet last Sunday and the former Fulham man ventured forward, striding confidently with the ball at his feet on a few occasions. The end product was not good enough to suggest Van Gaal has a new Beckenbauer in his squad just yet, but Robson was so impressed by Smalling's confidence that he felt moved to liken the centre-back to two United greats in Pallister and McGrath. Smalling kept a close eye on Tottenham striker Harry Kane during Manchester United's win against Spurs . The former lifted 10 trophies at United and the latter would have won much more than the 1985 FA Cup had he not fought a long-running battle with alcoholism which eventually cost him his place at the club. 'Paul McGrath could do that and so could Gary Pallister,' Robson said when invited to liken Smalling's display to a figure from the past. 'When you keep possession at the back sometimes it's really important that your defenders break past the forwards and they get into the midfield area. 'That means one of your midfield players should be able to get space and I thought Chris did that particularly well against Tottenham and that made it difficult for the Tottenham players.'

+{"article": "Manchester City had long since been knocked out of the Champions League by the time the decision was taken to sack Roberto Mancini in the spring of 2013. European football was not the Italian\u2019s speciality. However, as Manuel Pellegrini looks for a result to save his team\u2019s season, other similarities between the reign of City\u2019s current coach and the final, faltering weeks of his predecessor\u2019s are strikingly relevant. Certainly the two men are different. Pellegrini is placid, Mancini explosive. Pellegrini is considered by some at City to be rather too nice while Mancini made enemies at every level. But, although Pellegrini may beg to differ, the warnings for the Chilean are to be found using football\u2019s most fundamental barometer: results. Manuel Pellegrini is fighting to save his Manchester City job and needs a good result in Barcelona . Manchester City are looking to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit in the Nou Camp . Mancini\u2019s final year at City saw a Barclays Premier League title win, a summer of faltering efforts in the transfer market and a subsequent championship defence in which his team\u2019s levels dropped to the extent that they ended the 2012-13 season some way short of a rival \u2014 Manchester United \u2014 who did not have to be imperious to beat them into second. Sound familiar? Two years on and again City have failed to build on success. They have bought modestly, played well only sporadically and look destined to trail another less-than-convincing rival \u2014 this time it\u2019s Chelsea \u2014 by some distance by the time they reach the finishing post. Did United win the title two years ago or did City simply fail to defend it properly? Perhaps a bit of both. Can we say the same again this time round? Almost certainly. Talk to people at City and they will stress that Mancini was not sacked because he failed to win a second league title. He was dismissed because City had failed to move forwards in Europe and because his style of management was, they feared, about to rip holes in the fabric of the club. Nevertheless, the similarities between what should have been Mancini\u2019s consolidation season and this one are clear and that is why Pellegrini has every reason to feel anxious ahead of a mammoth task at the Nou Camp. On Tuesday at City\u2019s hotel by the port, Pellegrini was in denial mode once again. \u2018I don\u2019t think my seat is in danger,\u2019 he said.

The commander in charge at Hillsborough said today he was not behind a police conspiracy to cover up their part in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans. David Duckenfield, 70, has admitted his failure to close a tunnel caused dozens of deaths but denied claims he then helped conceal 'very serious professional failings'. The retired chief superintendent from South Yorkshire Police spoke out as he gave evidence for a seventh day at the hearing in Warrington. He admitted that as the man in charge on April 15 1989 'the buck stops with me', but said he was inexperienced and had inherited a safety plan from the previous year. Defence barrister John Beggs QC asked him: 'It has been suggested by some of the barristers sitting in front of me there was some conspiracy to interfere with a fair collection of evidence. Did you have any part in that?' Duckenfield said: 'None at all, sir.' Mr Beggs said: 'Did you know anything about it?' Duckenfield replied: 'I did not'. Mr Beggs asked: 'Did you at any stage even encourage any other police officer or police civilians to change his or her statement?' He said: 'No, sir.' Mr Beggs went on: 'Did you change the content of the statement that the jury know was made by you on or before May 3 1989?' He said: 'No, sir.' Mr Beggs said: 'Did anyone ever ask you to change your statement?' He said: 'No, sir.' He confirmed he had no role in the subsequent investigation by West Midlands Police into the tragedy and had no part either in the direction of the force's case at Lord Justice Taylor's inquiry. Mr Beggs said it had been suggested by a number of barristers at the inquests that Mr Duckenfield alone should bear responsibility for the tragedy. Mr Duckenfield agreed he had nothing to do with previous turnstile 'failures' at Sheffield Wednesday and no one had advised him about them. He had no say on Liverpool being awarded the smaller end of the ground for the match with just 23 turnstiles. In reality, he had 'inherited' the police operation for the match. He also had nothing to do with signage at the ground or previous decisions to install perimeter fences and radial fences, its architectural features or any breaches of stadium safety guidance on crush barrier heights. Mr Beggs asked: 'If supporters turned up later in 1989 than in 1988, for whatever reason, was that something with which you had any control?' 'No sir, ' said Mr Duckenfield.

A record-keeping blip means Social Security records appear to show America has a group of super-centenarians equal to the population of El Salvador. But in fact there are only 19 people who say they are over the age of 112 in the U.S. today, and Social Security admits there are only 13 still getting benefits.

The error has been caused because Social Security does not have death records for millions of people, the oldest of whom was born in 1869. That would mean, were that person still alive, they would be 146 years old - 24 years older than the oldest living person in history, Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment, who was 122 when she died in 1997. They would also be considerably older than America's oldest living resident, Gertrude Weaver of Arkansas, who is 116 years and 255 days old. But far from being something to chuckle about, Republican Senator Ron Johnson, who represents Wisconsin, has raised it as a cause for concern. It means there are millions of Social Security numbers which are still active, so a number could be used to report wages, open bank accounts, obtain credit cards or claim fraudulent tax refunds. Problem: Senator Ron Johnson, pictured, says the active numbers are an issue as they can be used illegally . 'That is a real problem,' said Senator Johnson. 'When you have a fake Social Security number, that's what allows you to fraudulently do all kinds things, claim things like the earned income tax credit or other tax benefits.' Johnson is chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which plans a hearing Monday on problems with death records maintained by the Social Security Administration. The agency said it is working to improve the accuracy of its death records. However, it would be costly and time-consuming to update 6.5million files created at a time when the agency used paper records, said Sean Brune, a senior adviser to the agency's deputy commissioner for budget, finance, quality and management. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935, and the first old-age monthly benefit check was paid in 1940. 'The records in this review are extremely old, decades-old, and unreliable,' Brune said. The internal watchdog's report does not document any fraudulent or improper payments to people using these Social Security numbers - but it raises red flags that it could be happening.

In the second shocking day of evidence at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse, Dr Paterson said he did 'absolutely not' touch Lucy Perry, who was 15-years-old, during a rehearsal of 'Guys and Dolls' in 1989. 'They were roaring their approval for her performance as the sultry dancer,' Dr Paterson told the inquiry, under intense questioning from counsel assisting the commission David Lloyd. Dr Ian Paterson, the former headmaster of Knox Grammar, has provided evidence to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse for two days . Lucy Perry, the CEO of an international women's charity, told the commission on Monday that Dr Paterson had touched her behind during a rehearsal of Guys and Dolls. She said the action was greeted by a 'roar of approval' from young men in the crowd . Lucy Perry was surprised by the reaction her testimony triggered from victims attending the inquiry, with many standing up to applaud her as she left . In explosive testimony on Wednesday, Dr Paterson also accepted he had hindered a police investigation of claims into child sex abuse led by Inspector Elizabeth Cullen in 1996. Ian Paterson said on Wednesday that when a police inspector from the child protection unit approached him in 1996 about six teachers at Knox about whom there had been complaints, he did not give her full information. In reply to David Lloyd counsel advising the royal commission, which is inquiring into Knox's handling of sex abuse complaints, Dr Paterson agreed he knew this would impede the investigation. Ms Perry, 41, now the CEO of an international women's charity, told the commission on Monday that Dr Paterson, the show's producer, had singled her out during the joint rehearsal between Knox and Roseville College. As she walked to the edge of the stage 'he placed his hand on my backside'. 'I would describe it as between a pat and a grope,' Ms Perry told the commission. 'He then slid his hand right down to cup my buttocks and (I) felt him touch my genitals outside of my clothing.' Ms Perry continued: 'I was humiliated in front of the boys and I heard the boys cheering. 'I was disgusted with Paterson's behaviour and thought he was demonstrating to the Knox boys that it was perfectly acceptable, even admirable, to be disrespectful to girls.' Ms Perry was not interested in pressing charges against Dr Paterson but changed her mind in 2009. 'I wanted to let police know that I was happy to provide a statement if it was going to be useful to demonstrate the culture of disrespect engendered by the school and to highlight the environment and attitudes fostered by the headmaster,' she said.

+{"article": "Cocaine use in Britain has trebled in two decades, with a new 'phenomenon' of rising drugs consumption among people in their forties and fifties. A new government report launched amid concern that cocaine is seen as safe found it is no longer 'the preserve of wealthy bankers and celebrities'. Its authors found the drug is now 'firmly embedded in UK society', and warned launching an anti-cocaine campaign could encourage more people to take it. Cocaine use has traditionally been highest among people in their twenties and late teens, but there have been significant increases among people in their forties and fifties . The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs said the drug has spread throughout all areas of society since the mid-1990s. It follows the emergence of a market in cheap, low-purity powdered cocaine that operates alongside a more expensive and far higher purity version of the drug. A line of the cheaper version can now be bought for just \u00a32 \u2013 less than the price of a coffee. Cocaine use has traditionally been highest among people in their twenties and late teens but while usage among younger age groups has fluctuated in recent years, figures from the Office for National Statistics show the percentage of over-35s taking cocaine at least once in the past year increased from 0.8 per cent in 2001/2 to 1.5 per cent in 2013/14 \u2013 the equivalent of about 188,000 men and women. Over the same period, use among adults described as \u2018comfortably off\u2019 rose from 1.5 per cent to 1.9 per cent. Overall just over 810,000 men and women aged 16 to 59 in England and Wales used the drug at least once last year \u2013 2.4 per cent of the population. It is the highest rate in Europe. Use among older adults has been less common, particularly among 45-54 year olds. In 2013-14, 1.8 per cent of people aged 34-44 took cocaine up from 1.3 per cent a decade earlier. Among 45-54-year-olds the figure doubled from 0.3 per cent to 0.6 per cent. But the report said: 'It is notable that there have been statistically significant increases (1996 to 2013-14) across all age groups up to the age of 54 years; a phenomenon that has not been observed in respect of other drug types.' It could be that more people are taking up cocaine later in life, but the data suggests it is the result of 'continued use among an ageing user cohort', suggesting age does not lead to people giving the drug up. The access to cheap cocaine - often mixed with harmful cutting agents - is 'highly likely' to have driven the rise in the number of users from 'hard pressed' or low income backgrounds, as well as the 'comfortably off', living outside cities where drug use was traditionally uncommon. The report, addressed to Home Secretary Theresa May and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, is the first of its kind to investigate powdered cocaine use and was launched in response to fears of a perception that the drug is safe as use increased.", "summary": "Cocaine no longer just 'the preserve of wealthy bankers and celebrities' Official report says the drug is now 'firmly embedded in UK society' Percentage of 45-54-year-olds taking drug doubles in a decade, study finds .

The cold case review focuses on backpack murderer Ivan Milat, who was convicted of seven murder, along with Bandali Debs, Ashley Coulston, and Reginald Arthurell and other known mass murderers. Dozens of unsolved deaths are being re-opened and examined for links to the men by a review team from the NSW Unsolved Homicide Squad, a move which Inspector John Lehmann said was motivated by a desire for justice. The cold case review focuses on backpack murderer Ivan Milat, who was convicted of seven murders . 'Even though some of the murders are old, sometimes 30 years ago, and the killers are locked away it doesn't mean we should give up,' Inspector Lehmann told The Daily Telegraph. 'It's about getting justice for the dead and for their families.' The Unsolved Homicide Squad is currently investigating more than 600 unsolved murders which date back to 1965. While official links between any of the known killers and their potential victims are yet to be made, Inspector Lehmann said he was hopeful that the task force would be able to build up enough evidence to charge the murderers. Inspector Lehmann said that while the review was 'routine', the approach was different, and made all the more unusual as a result of the reputation of the killers. Ivan Milat is considered by many to be Australia's most notorious serial killer, responsible for the murders of seven backpackers whose bodies were discovered in the Bengalo State Forest in NSW. Milat is currently serving seven consecutive life sentences for the murders, including those of British backpackers Caroline Clarke and Joanne Walters, who were discovered in September 1992 after being reported missing in April.

Almost half the children in some areas were yesterday denied their preferred secondary school as pressure grows on places. Tens of thousands of ten and 11-year-olds across the country were not given their first choice when councils announced allocations. Cities including London and Birmingham saw three in ten miss out on their favourite, while in several areas that figure was four or nearly five in ten. Competition for places is getting fiercer in many areas which have seen population increases fuelled partly by immigration. Experts said the crisis over places which has affected primary schools for several years is now transferring to secondary schools. However, efforts to expand schools in metropolitan areas where demand is most acute have been slowed by the high costs of creating new buildings. Councils notified parents of their children\u2019s fate yesterday by email or letter, meaning some families will not receive the news for several days. The allocations to more than half a million families are likely to result in a large number of appeals.

And while 14 per cent managed to get their second choice, 6 per cent failed to get into any of their six choices. In Hammersmith and Fulham, 45 per cent were denied their first choice. In Wandsworth and Westminster 42 per cent missed out.

Kalou, who is now at Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin, was filmed chiseling the Wall by German terrestrial broadcaster ARD in a preview video for Hertha's game against Schalke on Saturday. The clip, which was filmed in the autumn, was shown in the Olympic Stadium before the game, and repeated on ARD's Saturday night highlights show Sportschau. Former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou was filmed taking a piece out of the Berlin Wall . TV presenter Gerhard Delling was left stunned after seeing Kalou take a chunk out of the Berlin Wall . The Ivory Coast international could be hit with a \u00a37,100 fine after smashing lump out of Wall . The producers had come up with the idea of the hammer and chisel as a metaphor for Kalou's task of smashing his way into Schalke's rigid defence, with the Berlin Wall representing Schalke coach Roberto Di Matteo's unpopular defensive style. The former Chelsea man obliged unquestioningly, and set about attacking a section of the East Side Gallery, an open air graffiti exhibition which is one of the longest remaining sections of the Wall. The Ivorian was apparently unaware that the Gallery, which attracts more than a million tourists a year, is protected under German monument protection law. Not only that, but the gallery is beloved of many Berliners, with hundreds joining David Hasselhoff and Pink Floyd's Roger Waters to protest against its partial dismantlement last year. Kani Alavi, head of the artist's initiative in charge of East Side Gallery, was particularly incensed by Kalou's actions. 'When I initially saw the pictures, I nearly fell off the sofa,' Alavi said. 'Some celebrity is promoting himself at the cost of a monument, and public broadcasters are playing along. It shows a lack of respect. I'm very disappointed.' ARD producers came up with idea ahead of Hertha Berlin's match against Schalke in reference to Roberto Di Matteo's defensive approach . Hertha Berlin striker Kalou played the full 90 minutes of his side's 2-2 draw with Schalke . The initiative has now made an official complaint to the police, and is looking to sue Kalou for around \u20ac10,000 (\u00a37,100) worth of damage. The actual extent of the damage, and whether or not Kalou or the broadcaster will be held responsible, remains unclear. 'It's not the first time it's happened,' Alavi told BZ. 'We had a case a few years ago where someone was caught daubing the wall without permission, and they were ordered to pay \u20ac2,500 (\u00a31,800) by the court. Alavi was not the only one shocked by the clip. When it was broadcast on Sportschau, presenter Gerhard Delling was visibly taken aback, saying 'he's really taken a piece out of the Wall, there. The beautiful, old Berlin Wall!'. Delling's comment led to even more uproar, and the presenter was forced to defend himself against accusations of nostalgia for the oppressive Wall.", "summary": "Salomon Kalou was filmed chiseling the Berlin Wall by TV station ARD .

+{"article": "It is sometimes necessary for men wanting to attract the opposite sex to come out of their shell. Yet it seems that by often choosing the bolder males, women may be missing out on the best possible mate. Researchers have found that the shyest males actually have the most to offer a potential lover - at least in the world of hermit crabs. Hermit crabs, like the ones above, borrow the shells from other creatures to keep them safe and new research has shown that those crabs that stay in their shells more often tend to be a better mate for female crabs . Professor Mark Briffa, a marine animal behaviour researcher at Plymouth University, and his colleagues have found that the most timid crabs tend to more high quality sperm - making them a better option for females looking for a mate. This, they say, is because the crabs that spend more time hiding from the world inside their shells, also have invested the most resources in becoming reproductively fit. Males of a species of hairy chested crab, which has been given a nickname David Hasselhoff, spend their lives largely separate from the females, according to new research. In a study looking at the private life of the deep-sea crab known as the 'Hoff' have found that the males and females spend separate lives at volcanic vents 1.5 miles deep near Antarctica. This, according to the British research, is because of the conflicting demands of feeding and raising young among the sexes. In 2010, a British expedition revealed a 'lost world' of deep-sea animals including the crab named after the Baywatch star thriving on the ocean floor near Antarctica. Using a deep-diving remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to examine the distribution, size and sex of these crabs at the vents, Dr Leigh Marsh and colleagues from the University of Southampton have now pieced together their private lives. The researchers found that large male Hoff crabs live highest on the mineral spires of the deep-sea vents, closest to the hot fluids that jet from them. Smaller males tend to mingle with the females at the base of the mineral spires. It is an unusual approach in the animal kingdom, where the boldest, bravest and strongest usually win the right to mate. Indeed, in many species males have to prove their physical fitness with bold and dramatic displays - like in peacocks and birds of paradise - and even mortal combat in some cases. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Professor Briffa and his colleagues said: 'It appears that in hermit crabs, high-quality individuals that have invested heavily in reproduction, by making large spermatophores, are the most risk averse. 'Although we did not measure metabolic rate, a key process for the pace of life syndrome, this result seems counter to the idea that the most productive individuals should also be the boldest.' The researchers examined the 'personality' of 100 hermit crabs collected from Mount Batten and Hannafore Point in Plymouth. They did this by testing the 'startle response' of each", "summary": "Biologists at Plymouth University studied how crabs reacted when startled . They found shyer crabs had larger packets of sperm than the bolder ones . It contrasts with many species where bold displays tend to attract mates .

Pellegrini feels that Alderweireld could act as the perfect partner to captain Vincent Kompany . Both Martin Demichelis and Eliaquim Mangala have been given opportunities but have so far not done enough to convince anybody at the Etihad Stadium that they can help take City to the next level, particularly in Europe. Southampton have a \u00a36.8million option on Alderweireld as part of their loan deal but it's thought Atletico may well use a clause in the deal that stipulates they can essentially pay \u00a31.5m to cancel that and then sell the player to the highest bidder.

Alderweireld suffered a hamstring injury during Southampton's 1-0 victory over Manchester United . That would leave Koeman sweating on his attempts to take the former Ajax defender on a full-time basis.

Alderweireld signed for Atletico from Ajax for a fee of \u00a36.2 million in 2013, and the Spanish club are keen to recoup as much of that fee as possible.

+{"article": "In recent years the search for life beyond our planet has focused on finding places with conditions that are \u2018Earth-like\u2019, so as to emulate our own planet, which we know can support life. However, scientists have now proposed that some worlds might be able to host life \u2018not as we know it\u2019 that thrives not on water, but on other chemicals. Specifically, they looked at Saturn\u2019s moon Titan, which has seas of liquid methane rather than water, and they it could harbour methane-based, oxygen-free forms of life. Cornell University scientists in New York have proposed a new type of life. Called an azotosome, it would survive on liquid methane rather than water - so it could live on Titan. Shown is an illustration of a nine-nanometre azotosome, the size of a virus, with a piece of the membrane cut away to show the hollow interior . The fascinating research by scientists at Cornell University in New York suggests that life in the universe may be abundant in more places than thought. The life they propose, called an azotosome, would be composed of small organic nitrogen compounds and be capable of functioning in liquid methane temperatures of -180\u00b0C (-292\u00b0F). No life on Earth is known to be able to survive in similar conditions. \u2018Ours is the first concrete blueprint of life not as we know it,\u2019 said graduate student James Stevenson, first author of the research. Life on our planet relies on a permeable water-based exterior - a vesicle or liposome - that houses the organic matter of every cell. As no life on Earth can survive without water, astronomers have been looking for alien life in habitable zones of stars where liquid water can exist - it is not too hot, and not too cold. But if cells could be based on methane, rather than water, they could survive in much colder climates, as methane has a much lower melting point. A study in November 2014 argued that alien species could exist on planets that contain an exotic substance known as 'supercritical' carbon dioxide, rather than water. This type of CO2 is created when liquids and gases reach their temperature and pressure thresholds, creating a supercritical fluid that has features of both a liquid and gas. Carbon dioxide becomes supercritical when its temperature exceeds 305 degrees Kelvin (32\u00b0C) and its pressure goes beyond 72.9 the standard atmosphere at sea level. On Earth, it's increasingly used in application such as dry cleaning or to sterilise medical equipment, but astrobiologists at Washington State University believe it could also be capable of sustaining life. Study co-author Professor Schulze-Makuch and his team compared enzymes in carbon dioxide and in water, and found that they were more stable in supercritical CO2. The life proposed by the scientists would be composed of small organic nitrogen compounds and be capable of functioning in liquid methane temperatures of -180\u00b0C (-292\u00b0F). This means it could survive on the surface of Titan (illustration shown), meaning more worlds might be habitable than we thought .

Swiss researchers revealed that chameleons use futuristic nanotechnology more advanced than anything humans possess to carry out their extraordinary colour changes. The reptiles are capable of rearranging crystals inside specialised skin cells to switch hues in order to attract a potential mate or scare off a rival. Scroll down for video . Swiss researchers have revealed that chameleons appear to be capable of rearranging crystals inside specialised skin cells to switch hues in order to attract a potential mate or scare off a rival. A stock image of a colourful panther chameleon is shown . The process involves the active tuning of a lattice of microscopic crystals in skin cells called iridophores. Not only do the crystals allow the lizard to shift rapidly from efficient camouflage to spectacular mating displays, they also protect it from overheating. It was previously thought that coloured pigments were gathered and dispersed inside different cells, allowing the animal to change hues. Like some other reptiles, chameleons display a wide range of colours produced not by pigments but \u2018optical interference\u2019 between different wavelengths of reflected light from tiny crystals, the researchers claim.

Since then, it has been thought that stone in the ring is violet amethyst, but now experts have revealed it is coloured glass \u2013 an exotic material at the time. Researchers at Stockholm University used a scanning electron microscope to determine the material and to clearly reveal ancient Arabic writing called Kufic writing, that reads \u2018for Allah or \u2018to Allah.\u2019 It is known that Scandinavians traded glass objects from Egypt and Mesopotamia up to 3,400 years ago, so it is entirely possible that the Vikings fetched glass goods from the region instead of waiting for them to make their way north via trade networks.

For women, meanwhile, the results were a bit more timid - with miniature pigs, cats, ponies, donkeys and chinchillas making up the top five. Man's new best friend? Dogs may have once ruled the roost, but now according to a YouGov survey of people in the UK, men prefer lobsters as their favourite animal - when compared to female choices - which may be because they associate them with fine dining (picture of red reef lobster shown) The study involved a poll of 190,000 YouGov members in the UK, which the company says is \u2018perhaps the largest dataset ever collected of people\u2019s passions and phobias in the animal world\u2019. Overall, when gender is not taken into account, the nation\u2019s favourite animals are dogs, tigers, elephants, cats and dolphins. The least favoured are eels, millipedes and spiders. When male choices were compared to female choices, however, there was a surprising battle of the sexes on what the most popular animals were. The data showed that lobsters were the most popular animal among men when compared to those less liked by women, followed by alligators, sticklebacks and so on. For women, compared to men, it was miniature pigs at the top of the list, followed by cats and ponies. As for the most popular animals, the study found that things like dogs and snails were slightly more popular among women than men. Men were more likely to prefer 'heroic', 'aggressive' or 'creepy' animals, while women preferred 'cute', 'beautiful' and 'exotic' species.

Shana Mooyman used to be a promotional model but now she drives heavy machinery in the mines . After six years behind the wheel of heavy machinery, Ms Mooyman, who is now a fully qualified operator, is adamant she can hold her own - despite working in such a predominately male industry. 'I was a little nervous first coming into this work, being so isolated from everyone into such a small area grouped together with mainly blokes around,' she said. 'But I survived my first couple of shifts and an older lady took me under her wing. 'We started having after work drinks with my crew and that's when the potty mouth started. 'They converted me. I was now just one of the guys holding my ground not taking any of their nonsense. 'You just need to learn to speak up and don't take their jibes seriously and you'll be fine.'

'It's definitely not for all men and women as there are so many downsides to being away.' Ms Mooyman said she left the modelling industry because she needed a more stable profession.

The transplant window was so small that after putting the phone down at 3am, he was rushed from his home in Plymouth to Oxford for the operation. But upon arriving, he was told that the organs had come from the victim of a drugs overdose - and it would be two weeks before tests revealed if they were HIV free.

Three police officers have been questioned over alleged misconduct relating to the suspicious death of a 13-month-old baby whose case has been shrouded in official secrecy. Little Poppi Iris Worthington, from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, died in December 2012. But a draconian order imposed by judges has prevented any details of her death being revealed, despite a long-running police probe. During an inquest in October last year that lasted a mere seven minutes, a coroner simply ruled that the cause of Poppi's death was 'unascertained' and failed to disclose any other information. But it has now emerged that three officers from Cumbria Police have been questioned under caution over misconduct allegations. It can also be revealed that one officer, who was suspended after concerns that the force did not respond \u2018properly and appropriately\u2019 to the girl's death, has since retired from the force. The news comes after the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, said it would be investigating whether opportunities to obtain 'key evidence' were 'identified and appropriately acted upon'. The IPCC said it received a referral from Cumbria Police on June 27 last year and began its independent investigation on July 2. The body has since spoken to 13 witnesses and three police officers, who have been interviewed under caution. But the watchdog refused to disclose a copy of the Cumbria Police referral, which gives details of the exact allegations under investigation. A spokesman said the public interest in openness and transparency is 'outweighed by the significant public interest in protecting the integrity of investigations'. After Poppi's death, a far-reaching injunction prevented the media from revealing various details about the case, including the hospital in which she died. The opening of the inquest in also took place in private. According to coroners' rules, inquests should always be held in public unless exceptional matters of national security are involved. But following a challenge by media groups, the senior coroner for Cumbria, David Roberts, wrote to the Attorney General to ask for a new hearing. Lawyers representing several newspaper groups - Associated Newspapers Limited, which publishes MailOnline, Times Newspapers Ltd and Guardian News & Media- had written to Mr Roberts to argue the inquest was insufficient and therefore unlawful. One officer, who was suspended over allegations the force did not response 'properly' to the young girl's death, has also since retired from the force. Cumbria police is being investigated by the police watchdog . In a written reply to law firm RPC, Mr Roberts, said: 'My own view is that it would be desirable for a fresh inquest to take place, not least so that conclusions as to how, when and where Poppi Worthington came by her death can be recorded. The IPCC probe is being overseen by senior investigator Catherine Hall and commissioner Carl Gumsley (pictured) 'Neither I nor Mr Smith has power to hold a further inquest without the permission of the High Court.

A flamboyant conman who funded an extravagant lifestyle by swindling \u00a3750,000 from struggling businesses has gone missing after being convicted of fraud. John Davies, 53, of Milton Keynes, left a trail of misery in his wake, with 'numerous' people losing their jobs and companies as a result of his actions. After his six-week trial police detailed how he had lived a 'flamboyant lifestyle on the back of despicable crimes', buying a house complete with the latest cinema system and a luxury kitchen. On Wednesday, he was found guilty in his absence of 12 counts of fraud by breach of trust. Police have since issued a warrant for his arrest. The court case, at Aylesbury Crown Court in Buckinghamshire, related to Davies' dealings with nine different companies where he gained in excess of \u00a3750,000. He was convicted of 11 counts by a unanimous jury decision, and one by a majority verdict. The court was told how he had spent his ill-gotten gains on a luxury lifestyle, including more than \u00a370,000 on a new Range Rover and foreign holidays to Barbados and Las Vegas. Davies, of Dean Forest Way, Broughton, Milton Keynes, claimed to be an insolvency and business adviser but he was not licensed.

But although he often advised companies they should go into liquidation or administration, he would delay doing so in order to gain control of companies' remaining assets which he used for his own personal gain. The prosecution said he gained his victims' trust and then took the money that was due to the company creditors which he then spent on himself.

US researchers claim they have found a hormone that mimics the effects of exercise, allowing people to lose weight and regulate their blood sugar. The hormone, dubbed MOTS-c, has been proven to work in mice and clinical trials on humans could begin in three years . The discovery of MOTS-c - a molecule that acts as a signal for the body - was made by scientists at the University of Southern California. MOTS-c works by increasing insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to more effectively process glucose sugars, researchers claim. Insulin is a hormone that moves the sugars from food into the blood stream. Resistance to insulin can be triggered by a poor diet and may lead to type 2 diabetes. The hormone mainly targets muscle tissue, where it restores insulin sensitivity, counteracting diet-induced and age-dependent insulin resistance. The hormone may give people yet another excuse to avoid the gym. But researchers say its real benefits are in tackling age-related diseases, such as diabetes .

To test the effects of MOTS-c, the team injected the hormone into mice fed a high-fat diet, which typically causes them to grow obese and develop a resistance to insulin. The injections not only suppressed both effects in mice, they also reversed age-dependent insulin-resistance, a condition that precedes diabetes. 'This discovery sheds new light on mitochondria and positions them as active regulators of metabolism,' said Changhan Lee, assistant professor at USC Davis and lead author of the study. MOTS-c is unique among hormones in that it is encoded in the DNA of mitochondria - the 'powerhouses' of cells that convert food into energy. Other hormones are encoded in DNA in the nucleus. While all of the experiments on MOTS-c to date have been performed on lab mice, the molecular mechanisms that make it work in mice exist in all mammals, including humans.

However, the Frenchman insists that he is happy in his current role for now and just wants to learn the trade before targeting the top job. 'I don't have the pretension to be able to coach a team nor succeed Arsene Wenger. I just want to learn with the Arsenal youngsters.

Samantha Green, 23, pleaded not guilty to the new count after Judge David Rosenberg rejected the defense's claim that the woman was the target of \u2018vindictive prosecution.\u2019 Prosecutors appealed to the judge to change Green's charge from manslaughter to murder after claiming to have uncovered new evidence in the death of her 20-day-old son, Justice Rees, over the past week. Overcome with emotion: Samantha Green, 23, is seen being comforted by her public defender Traice Olson Friday after pleading not guilty to an upgraded charge of murder in the death of her newborn son . Higher stakes: Prosecutors appealed to the judge to change Green's charge from manslaughter to murder after claiming to have uncovered new evidence . Police found the body of 20-day-old Justice Rees (right) in swampy land near the Sacramento River last month after he and Green (left) were reported missing . In response, Green's public defender, Tracie Olson, demanded to be presented with the new information and accused the opposing side of moving the goalpost after her client had agreed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter, reported Sacramento Bee. Dressed in a striped green-and-white jumpsuit, Green appeared dejected and wept in court. Supervising Deputy District Attorney Rob Gorman declined to go into detail about the new evidence but defended the timing of the request to amend the complaint against Green. Gorman acknowledged that that while it may look \u2018suspicious,\u2019 the information they have obtained since Green\u2019s arraignment March 4 warranted the charge upgrade. \u2018We now believe that Ms. Green can be legitimately charged for murder,\u2019 said Gorman. Green, of Woodland, made her first court appearance last Wednesday following her weekend arrest in the death of her baby son. The original charges against Green also included an enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury on a child under age five during the commission of a felony. The boy's body was found with no obvious signs of trauma last week in a swampy area. Sheriff's investigators said he may have died from drowning or hypothermia near the rural town of Knights Landing, about 30 miles west of Sacramento. Green, who had been reported missing with her son two and a half weeks ago, was found a day earlier looking disheveled and bruised. Last week, Green (pictured in court March 4) pleaded not guilty to an involuntary manslaughter charge in her baby's death . She told authorities that she and the boy had been abducted, but police have said they do not believe her story. Despite the charges, Green's family said they are standing by her. 'Our family is grieving not only for the loss of our grandson Justice, but also the possible loss of our daughter Sami Green,' Green's parents, Randy and Laurie, said in a statement released on Sunday morning and shared by CBS.

He claimed his two youngest children were so scared by the protesters that they ran away and hid . Mr Farage said his daughters, Victoria, 15, and ten-year-old Isabelle were missing for a short time yesterday afternoon before the police returned them to the family home. After hounding him out of the Queen\u2019s Head in Downe, Kent, protesters surrounded his car, kicking it and jumping on his bonnet as his wife, Kirsten, tried to drive him away. The Ukip leader later told the Mail: \u2018We were having a pleasant Sunday and then suddenly the mob descended.

An estimated 80 per cent of Britain\u2019s pet dogs suffer from behavioural conditions, with many linked to being cooped up in an empty house for hours at a time. Long periods of separation from their owners can lead to hyperactivity, obsessive-compulsive behaviour and anxiety, vets say. Growing numbers of pets are being fed antidepressants to reduce their stress while left home alone all day, vets have warned . But with people living busier lives than ever before, many pet owners are turning to drugs to quell the problems. Experts are worried people are feeding dogs and cats their own supplies of human antidepressants, or getting a prescription from their vet for animal-specific medication. Andrew Knight, professor of animal welfare and ethics at the University of Winchester, told the Sunday Telegraph: \u2018The number of behavioural problems in dogs and cats, and even other pets, such as birds, seen by veterinarians is huge. \u2018We\u2019re constantly seeing animals that are aggressive, unduly fearful, or barely under control when they visit, although my colleagues and I do our best to put them at ease with gentle handling and tasty treats. \u2018Instead of attempting to calm or even sedate our stressed pets with pharmaceuticals, it\u2019s about time we started giving our pets the care and attention they really deserve. Only then might we truly be eligible to call ourselves a nation of animal lovers.\u2019 An estimated 80 per cent of Britain\u2019s pet dogs suffer from behavioural conditions, with many linked to being cooped up in an empty house for hours at a time . There are several licenced antidepressants for animals on the market, including Clomipramine, Selegiline, Reconcile, which each work in a similar way to fluoxetine - the human antidepressant which goes under the trade name Prozac. A recent report by the People\u2019s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) found that more than a quarter of dog owners leave their pet alone in the house for five hours or more during a weekday and that 250,000 dogs are never walked \u2013 leading to serious behavioural problems. Dr Knight said dogs need love and attention. \u2018Dogs need to be walked, every day, yet too many are left at home with little to do while owners go to work,\u2019 he said. \u2018It\u2019s hardly surprising many resort to barking and demolishing the furniture, in their desperation for attention and stimulation.

A former intelligence chief has quit his role with Britain\u2019s top crime fighting agency to keep a lucrative directorship with scandal-hit HSBC.

+{"article": "Hearts were the source of all of Gary Locke\u2019s childhood dreams. The chance to play, captain and manage the club ensured that, for long enough, the love affair was requited. A year ago, though, a long-standing relationship hit the buffers with a rather dull thud. Widely acclaimed for the way he led the club throughout administration and a season of near-certain relegation, the 39-year-old awoke one day having to digest one of the game\u2019s great truths: No one is indispensable. Gary Locke is currently manager at Kilmarnock after leaving his post at Hears last year . Locke chats with Ryan Stevenson last season . Brutally axed as Ann Budge and Craig Levein made way for Robbie Neilson, Locke licked his wounds before returning to Kilmarnock, initially as assistant manager to Allan Johnston. What\u2019s transpired since the parting of the ways has been utterly intriguing for both parties. Neilson\u2019s side romped to the Championship title with seven games to spare to mute anyone still clinging to the notion that they were wrong to dispense with Locke\u2019s services. Yet, in only losing one of seven games since taking the reins from Johnson last month at Rugby Park, Locke, in turn, has underscored his dug-out credentials and then some. Would Hearts have won the Championship title with him still at the helm? We shall never know. But, as he puts the finishing touches to a new long-term deal in Ayrshire this week, the growing feeling among observers is that his former employers were perhaps both right and wrong. \u2018I don\u2019t think I have proven a point to Hearts,\u2019 Locke insisted. \u2018I didn\u2019t feel I had anything to prove. I did a good job there. \u2018It is like any football club. When new people come in, if they have their own ideas and want to change things then that is what they will do. \u2018I am delighted to see them coming straight back up - they have some cracking young players there and it is great to see them do so well. \u2018But my focus now is Kilmarnock. All I want is the best for them. Hopefully, we can finish the season strongly.\u2019 Privately for Locke, the irony of what\u2019s gone on at Tynecastle over the past year or so won\u2019t be so much painful as excruciating. Locke insists his focus is on Kilmarnock and wants to end the season strongly in the Scottish Premiership . Last season, boxed in by administration and a transfer embargo, he played the kids. Fledglings like Sam Nicholson and Jamie Walker featured in sides that were routinely thrashed. Some feared for the psychological impact it would have on them but Locke knew what he was doing.

The ISIS-related photograph which Salma viewed online was spotted by teachers when they were reviewing pupils' internet usage.

'In December 2013 we discovered that Salma Halane had viewed an image on a mainstream news website in the hope of spotting her missing brother. Our priority was her emotional wellbeing, and we recommended she speak to her mother about her concern for her brother and the college followed this up. 'Once it became clear that the girls had travelled to Syria, we handed over all computer records to the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU).

An education source told the Manchester Evening News that the school should have done more to intervene after they saw that Salma had been looking at terror-related content online. 'I have no doubt whatsoever that if someone at the college had followed this up with Salma, she would still be in this country,' the source said.

Pietersen, sacked by the England and Wales Cricket Board after the 2013-14 Ashes defeat, has set his heart on pushing for a return in time for this summer's rematch. The 34-year-old signed for Surrey on Wednesday, to that end - and after indications from new ECB chairman Colin Graves that he may yet be considered again for selection, he is hoping a welter of county championship runs over the next two months could press his claims. Andrew Strauss (right) believes Kevin Pietersen's efforts to play himself back into the England Test team for thei summer's series with Australia will be in vain . Pietersen has rejoined Surrey and will attempt to find his form in the County Championship . Pietersen in action for Surrey during a T20 Blast fixture at the Kia Oval last summer . Strauss, however, predicts Pietersen's efforts will be in vain. The dual Ashes-winning captain believes Pietersen's age and history of confrontation are against him, and suggests his only realistic chance of resuming his international career is if an 'extraordinary' sequence of events first cost either or both of coach Peter Moores and Test captain Alastair Cook their jobs. Strauss had his own difficult times with his fellow South Africa-born batsman, including the 2012 saga in which Pietersen admitted sending 'provocative' texts about his captain to opposition players. The contents of Pietersen's autobiography, published five months ago and including much criticism of several ex-colleagues and management staff, may be another barrier to his recall. Strauss told Sky Sports News: 'If you just look at everything that has gone on in the past ... his book ... that's a significant hurdle he'll have to get over. 'Then also, from a cricketing point of view, in one-day cricket we've got to build towards the next World Cup.

'So it's not as if there is an obvious place in the side for him either.' England will head to the West Indies next week, for three Tests, and Graves has already made it clear he will not tolerate defeat there against 'mediocre' opposition. Graves' hint that Pietersen's England career might not be finished after all is at odds, meanwhile, with all other public remarks from within the ECB. Strauss appears impressed by Pietersen's willingness to play county cricket again, after agreeing his release from the majority of his Indian Premier League contract with Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The Sunderland forward, a \u00a314million player, scored his only international goal in a 2-1 World Cup qualifying win over Iceland in April 2009. Missing from the Scotland set-up for 19 months under former manager Craig Levein, the 28-year-old\u2019s record now stands at one goal in 19 caps after Wednesday night\u2019s friendly win over Northern Ireland. Striker Steven Fletcher has scored just one goal for Scotland in 19 appearances .

Cruz, a favorite among tea party activists who has battled with Democrats and members of his own party, also said he wants to counter the 'caricatures' of the right as 'stupid,' 'evil' or 'crazy.' 'The image created in the mainstream media does not comply with the facts,' he said. He said that 'A Time for Truth' will include vignettes about Anwar Sadat, Elie Wiesel and others who 'had the courage' to speak out even at risk to themselves, a theme he acknowledged can be found in a famous work by a future president, then-Sen. John F. Kennedy's 'Profiles In Courage.'

A jeweller who sold endangered tiger teeth and claws from the British Raj days on eBay has been spared jail. Catherine Emberton, 28, advertised hundreds of pieces from her home in Sheffield including cufflinks and a pendant from the 1880s, which were described as 'Victorian hunting trophies'. She pleaded guilty to three offences under the Control of Trade in Endangered Species (Enforcement) Regulations at Sheffield Crown Court. The silversmith, who traded on eBay under the name 'Gypsy Silver', was handed a 12-month community order and ordered her to carry out 120 hours of unpaid community work. Police and officers from the Wildlife Crime Unit raided her home last June and recovered tiger teeth, claws and jewellery making materials. She advertised 129 items containing derivatives of tiger from November 2012 to June 2014 and during that time her business had a turnover of \u00a317,360, the court heard. Emberton claimed the jewellery pre-dated 1947 regulations banning the sale of tiger derivatives as the items were classed as 'antique' because they were more than 50 years old. But scientific officers who examined photos of the jewellery said the items had not been significantly altered from their natural state and so were not exempt of the regulations. They said it was also impossible to tell purely by looking at the teeth or claws whether they were tiger or another creature and that could only be done by radio carbon dating. Prosecutor Richard Thyne said: 'She did not make reasonable inquiries as to the provenance of the items she was selling or make inquiries as to the law on the trade of endangered species.' Emberton accepted she had not made detailed inquiries to verify the origin of the pieces and 90 per cent were already in settings when she bought them, the vast majority from antique markets. She believed the items she sold were exempted from the regulations. Peter Pimm, for the defence highlighted the fact that she had only made a 'modest profit' out of her business. 'The last thing she wants to do is to make a profit from endangered species that is not her motive,' said Mr Pimm. She advertised hundreds of pieces of jewellery from her home in Sheffield dating back to the days of the British Raj in India . She sold cufflinks and a pendant from the 1880s, which were described as 'Victorian hunting trophies' 'The idea of trading in endangered species is complete anathema to her. You have got to rely on your wits, knowledge and experience and that's what she did. What she didn't do was read the guidance.' Judge Robert Moore ordered the forfeiture and destruction of all the jewellery seized. He said: 'You are fundamentally a good person. This is not a case of fraudulent or dishonest selling of items derived from endangered species if it had been the sentence would have been immediate custody and substantial.' 'Anybody selling jewellery based on endangered species needs to check the precise law.' Speaking after", "summary": "Catherine Emberton, 28, sold endangered tiger teeth and claws on eBay .

Sir Richard Branson and his Virgin Group is being sued for \u00a3200million ($300million) by the former chief executive of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd over plans by the British billionaire to launch his own luxury cruise line. The lawsuit has been filed by Colin Veitch in Miami Federal Court, and claims that Virgin muscled him out of a joint venture to break into the industry with massive ships capable of carrying 4,200 passengers each and operating as floating resorts. Veitch alleges he presented a plan to Virgin in 2011 to launch a new cruise line focused on two 'ultra ships' that would give it a foothold in the hard-to-enter but highly profitable luxury cruise industry, according to the complaint. Sir Richard and the Virgin Group first looked at the cruise market in the late 1970s, 'and our current team has been exploring the opportunity for more than a decade,' Virgin Group said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. 'Over the years, we have been in discussions with a number of parties including the plaintiff, and those discussions ceased in 2012. We strongly believe the claim has no merits.' Virgin in December announced the formation of Virgin Cruises, which intends to sail out of Miami. It's one of the newest of Sir Richard's numerous business ventures, which include airlines, the Virgin Galactic spacecraft, a music label, book publishing, a travel agency, hotels and mobile phone services. As CEO of the new Virgin Cruises Branson hired Tom McAlpine, former president of the Disney Cruise Line, a unit of Walt Disney Co. According to the lawsuit, the plan was initially brought to Virgin by Veitch, who after analysing the cruise industry concluded that a well-known brand such as Virgin could break into the business profitably by building a pair of so-called 'ultra' ships. These vessels, such as Royal Caribbean International's 'Oasis of the Seas' ship, feature a wide array of on-board attractions and command premium prices. Richard Branson announced in December his intention to form Virgin Cruises, that sail out of Miami, US (File Photo) The May 2011 agreement between Virgin and Veitch estimated that Virgin could make between $427 million and $483 million in profits over 10 years if the venture performed as planned. Under this deal, Veitch would get nothing if the ships were not profitable but stood to make $315 million if his projections were met. 'Upon recognizing the potential for Virgin Cruises to be one of Virgin's 'biggest, sexiest businesses,' however, the dark side of Virgin quickly emerged,' the filing says, citing language used by Branson in a video shot in 2012. Veitch claimed that Virgin later began altering the deal to diminish his earnings and leave him as 'an indentured servant whose ownership and rewards depended completely upon Virgin's whims.'", "summary": "Lawsuit has been filed by former Norwegian Cruises boss Colin Veitch .

+{"article": "Rome wasn't built in day, and it certainly wasn't for rural postman Ferdinand Cheval, who dedicated 33 years of his life constructing an incredible limestone palace, complete with pillars, buttresses and grottoes. The widower would often find unusually shaped rocks as he delivered mail in France, and ended up pushing a wheelbarrow each day on his 18-mile route to collect stones of beauty. What started as a small hobby, soon became a life project in 1879, resulting in one of the most magnificent amateur architectural structures to date; Le Palais id\u00e9al. Scroll down for video . A postman in France spent 33 years constructing a lavish grotto, complete with pillars, towers and buttresses . Le Palais id\u00e9al features mythical creatures, inspired from the postcards and magazines he had to deliver on his postal route in France . From a glance you would be mistaken for thinking this was an Angkor palace, as the grotto has influences from Hinduism . Ferdinand Cheval left school at age 13 to become a baker's apprentice, but ended up delivering mail in the Hauterives area. The idea for the elaborate cathedral came when he tripped over an unusually shaped rock in his 30s. He later wrote in his journal: 'I wanted to know the cause. In a dream I had built a palace, a castle or caves. I told no one about it for fear of being ridiculed and I felt ridiculous myself. 'I said to myself: since Nature is willing to do the sculpture, I will do the masonry and the architecture.' Cheval would haul his findings to a site in Hauterives every day after work, and thus began the ambitious 33 year project, completed with no outside help. The dedicated builder would often have to work well into the night, by the light of an oil lamp, but that didn't deter him from his mission. Cheval would construct the palace at night, after work, by the light of oil lamps. In 1969, Andr\u00e9 Malraux, the Minister of Culture, declared the Palais a cultural landmark and had it officially protected . The website for the palace states it was built with no architectural rules and is regarded as a great example of outsider artwork . Due to the long hours of the project, the widower left his son in the care of godparents, in order to be able to focus his energies on his work. The outer walls, measuring 24 metres in length, and 10 metres high, took 22 years to complete, with Cheval binding the stones together with lime, mortar and cement. Le Palais id\u00e9al is as intricate as it is vast, and includes sculptures of exotic animals and mythical creatures, which were inspired by the postcards he delivered, and with influences from Christianity and Hinduism. The structure is beloved by visitors today, 100 years after it was constructed, and was even featured on the french stamp in 1986 . When Cheval died, he requested that he could be buried at the palace. Sadly it was not permitted and the talented constructor ended up building", "summary": "Rural postman Ferdinand Cheval collected stones in a wheelbarrow during his 18-mile post route .

The new Disney film, starring British actress Lily James in the title role, has helped spur on a revival of the shape-shifting garment according to The Sunday Times. The new trailer for the rags-to-riches fairy tale sees 25-year-old Lily flaunt an enviably tiny waist thanks to the help of an icy-blue corset dress complete with floor-skimming puffball skirt. British actress Lily James dons Cinderella's iconic icy-blue dress in the latest Disney movie . One leading retailer of the traditional, steel-boned women's corsets, What Katie Did, has seen sales of the garment grow by 50 per cent in the past three months. While online auction website eBay has reported sales of the more modern corset rise by 54 per cent since December. Esher-born Lily, who is dating former Doctor Who star Matt Smith, 32, recently hit back at claims that movie makers had digitally altered her figure.

Models stormed the catwalk at Alexander Wang (left) in simplistic corset waist bands while tight-fitting prom dresses ruled the runway at Stella McCartney (right) last month . Lily told E!

And, judging by Arsene Wenger\u2019s decision to leave him sat in his tracksuit throughout the entirety of the 2-1 victory over Newcastle United, Theo Walcott seems to have become just that at Arsenal. Indeed there was, for portions of this match, a sense that Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck could form a clinical strike force in the Premier League for years to come \u2013 while Walcott warmed up on the touchline. Yet, even in the second half when things were not going right for Arsenal and they needed a spark to reignite them, Wenger instead turned to Tomas Rosicky ahead of Walcott to give some added impetus. And, as much as Walcott will have enjoyed seeing his side keep the pressure up on second-placed Manchester City, you can\u2019t help but feel the England forward must be contemplating lowering his reported wage demands if he wants to stay at the Emirates. Theo Walcott has stalled on talks over a new deal with the winger wanting wages of over \u00a3100,000 a week . The England international was left on the bench for the game against Newcastle and didn't feature . Wojciech Szczesny and Walcott have both found their chances limited this for Arsenal this season . Because, put simply, where do you fit him into this Gunners side? Giroud is on fire and is leading the line superbly \u2013 he has scored 11 goals in 12 Premier League starts this season after his two at St James\u2019 \u2013 Welbeck caused problems all afternoon, contributing an assist for the first and he also should have netted at least twice, while Sanchez, although visibly tired, was still able to produce that little bit of magic to keep the Gunners on the front foot. Walcott is not an automatic selection anymore, and therefore he cannot be too ambitious with his wage demands. Arsenal\u2019s form is superb \u2013 they have won 14 of 16 games since New Year\u2019s Day \u2013 and they have achieved that largely without Walcott\u2019s presence.

Right now the Gunners are playing with pace and panache \u2013 displayed perfectly when Welbeck, Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey combined to take Arsenal from one side of the field to the other, only for Mike Williamson to make a timely interception. This was just one example of when Arsenal\u2019s front men wreaked havoc in an awesome first-half display. Yet, despite that, their goals at St James\u2019 Park came from a direct source.

What is even more shocking is that surgeons found hair and teeth inside her tumour when they removed it from her right ovary.

Amanda Murphy, from Rutherford in New South Wales, was struck down with a headache just before Christmas . A tumour found in ovary caused her to stab herself in the head and go into a psychosis. Amanda's (left) sister, Rachael (right), had to watch her sister go through the ordeal . As the day wore on and the pain did not go away, Amanda, from Rutherford in New South Wales, texted her sister - Rachael - who told her to go to the sick bay.

A teenager who wrote notes to police asking them to catch him has been jailed for 21 years - for the attempted murder of three women he stabbed because he was unable to lose his virginity. Ben Moynihan, who is now 18, of Portsmouth, Hampshire, was found guilty by a jury at Winchester Crown Court of the three charges following a week-long trial. The judge, Mr Justice Jay, said Moynihan suffered from an autism spectrum disorder and had a 'gross lack of empathy'. Sentencing Moynihan, whom he described as 'dangerous', the judge told him: 'The offences were planned and premeditated. 'The contents of your computers were as chilling as they were disturbing.' The judge issued an extended licence of five years to be served on completion of the sentence and ordered the defendant to begin his prison term in a young offenders institution. He also ordered a \u00a320 victim surcharge to be paid. The teenager, who was 17 at the time of the attacks, stabbed the three women, aged 20, 45 and 67, with a 4.5-inch kitchen knife, aiming for their hearts, as they walked alone in Portsmouth in June and July last year. To do so, he carried a steak knife on the streets of his home city up to ten times last summer before his arrest on July 13. When he was eventually caught, police body-worn footage revealed him saying: 'You was lucky, I was hunting my fourth victim.' And before carrying his crimes, he researched serial killers including Moors murderer Ian Brady, the Muswell Hill murderer Dennis Nilsen and American Jeffrey Dahmer. Kerry Maylin, prosecuting, said Moynihan, who called himself the 'unhappy geezer', left two letters for police confessing to his crimes in which he stated that 'all women need to die' and that he liked to smell the 'flesh he had ripped out'. The letter, left on a police van, said: 'All women needs to die and hopefully next time I can gouge their eyeballs out. 'Every time I stab someone I run home and I like to smell the flesh I ripped out. Come and arrest me for God sake before I hunt for my fourth victim.'

+{"article": "The far right political party Britain First has told its supporters to vote Ukip and help deliver 'major gains' at the general election. In his party's newsletter, group leader Paul Golding said he would 'strongly urge our supporters to vote for UKIP as they have the best chance of making breakthroughs at the ballot box.' The endorsement from the extreme right group will come as an embarrassing blow to Nigel Farage who has been attempting to distance himself from the far right. Britain First leader Paul Golding has urged his supporters to back Ukip in the election and predicts that 2015 will be 'the year of Britain First and Ukip' Mr Golding said that he believed the election could trigger a swing to the right in British politics. 'Whatever happens in May, between UKIP and Britain First, this year could herald a resurgence of patriotic politics in Britain,' he added. But a Ukip spokesman told the Independent it was farcical that Britain First was supporting them. 'We're just not where they think we are,' he said. 'On the fringes of our politics are nutters and we don't want them anywhere near us.' Britain First has become renowned for its invasions on mosques and campaign against the alleged 'Islamification' of Britain. But Nigel Farage has previously attempted to distance himself from Britain First and other far rights parties across Europe . The party has told its supporters to ignore Ukip's attempts to distance themselves and said the party must play the 'political game.' In literature seen by the Independent, the party said its controversial activities 'in the Muslim ghettoes' will combine with 'major Ukip gains' to turn the election into a 'game changer'. Leaflets signed by Mr Golding predicted that 2015 would be 'the year of Britain First and Ukip' after the election. The election tactics echo those used for the Rochester by-election last year, when the party distributed leaflets which proclaimed: 'Ukip at the ballot box, Britain First on the streets \u2013 a winning combination.' The election went onto be won by former Conservative MP Mark Reckless, who defected to Ukip. Britain First was founded by former British National Party member Jim Dowson in 2011. It hit the headlines after invading mosques in Glasgow, Bradford, Luton and London with Bibles offered to Muslim worshippers. They were also seen driving military armoured cars up and down Brick Lane to no apparent purpose. Britain First's tactics , pictured here disrupting a Unite Against Fascism (UAF) anti-racism protest, have come under criticism in the past . Last year the group conducted 'Christian patrols' in parts of East London which the group claimed were a direct response to similar Muslim groups who, they said, wanted Sharia Law enforced in some boroughs. Britain First activists were seen outside mosques holding banners announcing: 'We are the British resistance.' The party, which received 20,000 votes in last year's European elections, wants 'assisted repatriation', a halt to further immigration, and the deportation of all asylum seekers. It also wants all foreign criminals to be deported without recourse to the law", "summary": "Britain First has told its supporters to get behind Ukip in the coming election .

The crackdown on three alleged maternity tourism rings may be the biggest yet by federal homeland security agents who say that, while pregnant women may travel to the U.S., they cannot lie about the purpose of their trip when applying for a visa. Birth tourism has been reported from a range of countries, but authorities say the most recent cases in California have catered to wealthy Chinese amid a boom in tourism from mainland China. It is unclear how many women travel to the United States for maternity tourism. Scroll down for video . Federal agents serve warrants and question several residents at the Pheasant Ridge Apartment complex in Rowland Heights, California, while investigating alleged 'birth tourism' centers on Tuesday . A woman appears shocked as she takes to a federal agent on Tuesday in what was described as one of the biggest ever raids on 'maternity tourism' in the U.S. A federal agent looks through a disposable diaper box while executing search warrants during the ongoing investigation into alleged birth tourism centers . Shortly after sunrise on Tuesday, federal agents swarmed an upscale apartment complex in the Orange County city of Irvine where authorities say a birth tourism business charged pregnant women $50,000 for lodging, food and transportation. According to the LA Times, during the raid pregnant women were seen opening doors to apartments, looking confused and then slamming them shut. One agent announced 'baby here' and then called over a colleague to go inside. Crying babies could be heard from several apartments, according to the LA Times. Investigators said women were coached to lie about their travel plans when applying for tourist visas and were promised they would receive Social Security numbers and U.S. passports for their babies before returning to China. In one instance, a trainer in China helped fabricate employment and income information for an undercover federal agent posing as a pregnant client to secure a tourist visa and encouraged her to fly through Hawaii, where customs officers were believed to be more lenient than in Los Angeles, according to a copy of an affidavit in support of a search warrant. The business netted its owners hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past two years and helped Chinese tourists deliver more than 400 American babies at Orange County hospitals, the court papers said. No arrests were made or charges filed. Investigators conducted the searches in Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, hoping to collect evidence of crimes tied to three separate maternity tourism operations, including visa and tax fraud, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.

The numbers were unanimously agreed at Thursday's summit of Premier League clubs \u2014 the first meeting since the \u00a35billion domestic TV rights deal.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: \u2018You can\u2019t find me another sport that is committed to this level of sharing. You can use other fancy words like redistribution but this is sharing. It\u2019s sharing in the success of English football.\u2019 The targeted investments are in grass-roots facilities, participation, fan engagement, solidarity payments to the lower leagues and supporting disadvantaged groups. They include all clubs committing to adopting the living wage (\u00a39.15 per hour in London and \u00a37.85 outside London) for full-time employees by the start of the 2016-17 season. The clubs voted in favour despite being told that title sponsors Barclays will not be renewing their endorsement when their current contract expires at the end of next season. But the loss of that \u00a3120m deal \u2014 sure to be replaced at a higher price \u2014 didn\u2019t stop clubs committing \u00a350m each to the PL\u2019s good causes. Ironically, around 50 fans were demonstrating outside the meeting in Piccadilly, London about the Premier league re-distributing their wealth. The only caveat is the result of the current Ofcom investigation into how the TV rights are sold and the monies raised from the international rights sales. Scudamore, who will become executive chairman in June, said: \u2018These are unprecedented levels of redistribution in world sport, let alone football, which will deliver long-term progress for English football whether you are a fan, lower league club or involved in the grassroots. The summit meeting is the first since the new record \u00a35bn TV rights deal was secured by the league . BT Sport and Sky Sports (above) took their share of Premier League fixtures in the bumper new deal . \u2018I don\u2019t think our clubs have ever made such an early stamp in the ground that says we are committed to what we\u2019ve always done but actually extending and growing. \u2018I\u2019ve never seen them unanimously want to say \u201cWe want to make a statement. It\u2019s a big statement to give away \u00a31billion of our UK TV deal\u201d. \u2018We\u2019ve had commercial success and we are going to share that success and we\u2019ve done this at very short notice.

Officers in Karachi said the grooms went 'too far' during the celebrations, and have charged the brothers and three other people under the explosive provisions of anti-terrorism legislation. If found guilty they could face long prison sentences, or even the death penalty. The brothers set off firecrackers, like the ones pictured, during their wedding ceremony in Karachi, Pakistan, but now face spending their married life behind bars after being charged with terrorism offences . Setting off fireworks and firing weapons into the air is a longstanding custom at Pakistani weddings, but police officer Abbas Golarchi said the wedding party's celebrations scared the community living nearby. He told agency AFP: 'Very powerful crackers were being used during the marriage ceremony creating fear among the neighbourhood, a densely populated area of the city.' The five arrested are in police custody awaiting a remand hearing which is due to take place on Wednesday. A sentence of the death penalty is unlikely, it is thought, before no-one was harmed during the joint wedding celebration. It is customary at Pakistani weddings to set off firecrackers and fireworks, and human rights campaigners have accused the police and judiciary of using anti-terrorism legislation in cases not related to militancy . Human rights campaigners say Pakistan's anti-terrorism legislation and anti-terrorism courts are frequently misused to prosecute cases that have nothing to do with militancy. In their World Report 2015, Human Rights Watch criticised the passing of the Protection of Pakistan Act by the country's government, denouncing it as 'overly broad' counter-terrorism legislation that violates international human rights standards and allows security forces to act without accountability. More generally, Pakistani police are often criticised for their heavy-handed approach. In April last year, police in the eastern city of Lahore booked a nine-month-old boy on an attempted murder charge after his family members allegedly threw bricks at officers trying to collect an unpaid bill. At least 40 people were killed in 2005 after firecrackers exploded on a bus carrying wedding guests back from a ceremony in Lahore, eastern Pakistan, according to a BBC report.", "summary": "The newly-wed siblings went 'too far' at their joint ceremony, say police .

Chancellor George Osborne also mocked Mr Miliband, who, when asked last week by Jeremy Paxman whether he was tough enough to be PM, replied, \u2018Hell, yes.\u2019 Osborne painted a picture of life under a Labour Government, describing it as: \u2018Hell \u2013 yes, indeed.\u2019 Mr Cameron also used the speech to promise that a future Tory Government would turn the NHS into a true seven-day service, with more hospitals providing top-level treatment at the weekend.", "summary": "Mr Cameron began campaign with assault on Mr Miliband's background .

Last month, Bradbury - who comes from an upper-middle class New Jersey community - gave birth to a second child while she was being treated at an intensive program - to ensure she didn't take any more drugs to harm her unborn son. Mark Tomat, 26, admitted to a judge that he and his girlfriend Tara Bradbury, 23, took heroin at her home in Wyckoff last February. Bradbury's nine-month-old baby accidentally ingested the drug . Tomat said he left the narcotic lying around the house and learned Bradbury's baby had ingested the drug about an hour after he left that night. Police found text messages between the two in which they talked about a plan to deny that they knew the baby had eaten heroin - so as not to incriminate themselves. Paramedics responding to a 911 call found the infant unresponsive and with a bruised forehead. The baby recovered after it was administered Narcan, an antidote for heroin overdose. Bradbury, who is from the upper-middle-class community Indian Hills, was sentenced to drug court, which means she will be provided with ongoing treatment in an intensely supervised drug treatment program.

+{"article": "For Earth-bound optical telescopes, the surface of Venus is shrouded beneath thick clouds made mostly of carbon dioxide. To penetrate this veil, probes like the Magellan spacecraft use radar to reveal remarkable features of the planet, such as mountains, craters, and volcanoes. But now, astronomers have combined the Green Bank Telescope with the radar transmitter at the Arecibo Observatory to make remarkably detailed images of the planet's surface from Earth. Pictured is a projection of the radar data of Venus collected in 2012. Striking surface features, like mountains and ridges, are easily seen. The black diagonal band at the center represents areas too close to the equator to obtain well-resolved image data . The radar signals from Arecibo in Puerto Rico passed through both Earth's atmosphere and the atmosphere of Venus. Here they hit the surface and bounced back to be received by the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia in a process known as bistatic radar. This capability is essential to study not only the surface as it appears now, but also to monitor it for changes. By comparing images taken at different periods in time, scientists hope to eventually detect signs of active volcanism. They believe images such as this could also reveal other dynamic geologic processes that could provide clues to Venus's geologic history and subsurface conditions. Spanish astronomers have revealed a new theory for a 'Y' shape on Venus (annotated image from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter in 1979 shown). They say it is formed by winds pushing a 'wave' of clouds on the planet. These winds move faster at higher altitudes, creating the odd shape . 'It is painstaking to compare radar images to search for evidence of change,' said Bruce Campbell, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, . 'The work is ongoing. In the meantime, combining images from this and an earlier observing period is yielding a wealth of insight about other processes that alter the surface of Venus.' Venus is slightly smaller than Earth but has a similar mass. It is the second closest planet to the sun at a distance of about 67 million miles (108 million kilometres), and takes about 225 days to orbit the sun. One day on Venus lasts as long as 243 Earth days. Its thick and toxic atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, with clouds of sulphuric acid droplets. It's believed that its atmosphere contributed to a runaway greenhouse effect that made the planet inhospitable. The planet's extreme high temperatures of almost 480\u00b0C (900\u00b0F) make it seem an unlikely place for for life as we know it. High-resolution radar images of Venus were first obtained by Arecibo in 1988 and most recently by Arecibo and GBT in 2012. When astronomers first started taking images of Venus, they were somewhat baffled by a mysterious 'Y' shape that covered the entire planet. Last week researchers say they have an answer - high intensity winds are distorting a 'wave' of clouds to produce a stretched effect. The discovery could also reveal how", "summary": "Astronomers took images with Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia . They combined this with the radar transmitter at the Arecibo Observatory .

+{"article": "It is a common thread through many of the world's dominant religions that those who do not follow the same faith are barbarians. Yet new research has now challenged the conventional idea that belief in a powerful and judgmental God is necessary to form large, complex civilisations. Anthropologists have found that belief in supreme deities often emerged after complex societies had already formed. The stone heads on Easter Island (shown above) are thought by some to represent ancestors of people living there and could be an example of where the belief system helped drive the emergence of complex society . The scientists studied the development of religion and cultures on Pacific islands that make up Austronesia. They examined 96 ancient Austronesian cultures - including those on Fiji, Tonga, Hawaii and Samoa - that had not had contact with Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Islam. They often form a central part of most biblical stories, but it appears that floods, famines and plagues may have also helped to start belief in some gods in the first place. Researchers at North Carolina State University found that belief in all-powerful and moralising gods tended to appear at times of hardship in human history. They claim that believing in such a supreme deity helps to ensure people within a society live by certain moral rules that are necessary when living in harsh environments or in times of hardship. The researchers studied the origins of 583 religious societies around the world. They compared these to climate, rainfall and plant growth data for each area to build up a historical picture of the conditions each society was living in. The findings may help to shed light on how religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam first emerged and why stories of hardship play such a central role. Dr Joseph Watts, an expert in cultural evolution at the University of Auckland in new Zealand, said: 'We found 22 instances of high political complexity through out historically and geographically distant regions of Austronesia. 'The results presented here cast doubt on the widely held view that moralizing high gods facilitate the emergence of political complexity. 'Although beliefs in moralising high gods do co-evolve with political complexity, believes follow rather than drive political complexity.' Instead the researchers found that belief in systems of supernatural punishment - such as vengeful spirits - tended to precede the emergence of complex societies and civilisations on the islands. These tended to be belief in anthropomorphic beings such as the spirits of dead ancestors. The researchers found that 37 of the cultures sampled had beliefs of this type while just six believed in supreme deities. Those that believed in a single all-powerful god tended to be clustered in southeast Asia including the Bontok and Tagbanwa cultures in the Philippines, the Batak Toba people of North Sumatra, the Manggarai tribes of Flores in Indonesia. The names of their gods are Lumawig, Mangindusa, Mulajadi na Bolon and Mori Karaeng respectively. The researchers then used trees of evolutionary connections between cultures, deduced from earlier studies of linguistic relationships, to explore", "summary": "Scientists at the University of Auckland studied 97 Pacific island cultures .

And now a sketch for the project has revealed the habitat the first astronauts on Mars could reside in - if they ever get there.

There are two habitats in total, one for 'living' (left) and one for 'work' (right). Credit: Kristian von Bengtson/MarsOne . The concept, drawn up by Mars One's Capsule and Outpost Manager, Kristian von Bengtson from Denmark, consists of two long cylindrical inflatable habitats - with a total area of 2,150 square feet (200 square metres). In February 100 people - including five Britons - were shortlisted for the questionable Mars One mission, which claims it will send people to live on the red planet. They are hoping to be chosen to be among the final crew of four who are set to begin their new lives in just 10 years time - and ultimately die on Mars. The team is scheduled to arrive in 2025 following a gruelling seven-month journey from Earth. 'The large cut in candidates [from 200,000 to 100] is an important step towards finding out who has the right stuff to go to Mars,' said Bas Lansdorp, co-founder of the Dutch Mars One mission. 'These aspiring Martians provide the world with a glimpse into who the modern day explorers will be.' The Mars 100 Round Three candidates were selected from a pool of 660 candidates after participating in personal online interviews. They include 50 men and 50 women who successfully passed the second round. At the front, each has a module to which a lander can attach and the crew can enter. One of the habitats is designed more for living, while the other seems to be geared more towards work. In the residential habitat, there is a kitchen for food preparation with a total area of 320 square feet (30 square metres). Moving further into the habitat and you come to a social area of a similar area, which has a \u2018holodeck\u2019 to keep the crew entertained. This appears to consist of screens on the walls of the habitat, to simulate being in another environment. Further along, are the private crew quarters, measuring about 65 square feet (six square metres). And finally, the crop section, which grows the food the astronauts will need to survive, is found at the end. It has a watering system and humidity controls to keep everything in working order.

According to members of the grief-stricken Goodwin family, the apparent lack of concern for her crime is typical of Miller. The victim's sister, Faye Dees, told Daily Mail Online that she 'didn't seem too concerned' for her slain brother - even moments after she killed him. During her trial, Dees said, she continued to act as if 'she didn't understand what the big deal was', even when family members confronted her directly.

Although she entered the country legally, Miller should have returned to the U.S. to start her jail sentence. During her illicit stay, she even gave birth to a son, whose father is thought to be an American living in Thailand legally. It is not clear whether he knew about Miller's conviction. She is expected to appear in a Thai court for staying in the country without proper documents - and is then likely to be deported to face U.S. justice. A spokesman for the Thai Tourist Police said: 'She flew to Thailand legally after she was granted bail in her car smash case.

Kell Brook poses on the scales at the weigh in ahead of his match with title challenger Jo Jo Dan . Brook will defend his IBF welterweight title against Dan in his home city of Sheffield on Saturday night . Brook assures us that all is well following that bizarre incident in Tenerife where he was celebrating the stunning win over American Shawn Porter which gained him the IBF world welterweight title. Eddie Hearn, his Matchroom promoter, tells of how demonically Brook has laboured in the intervening six months to rescue his career from near death and the fear of never walking again. But what no-one can know until he climbs into the ring as a world champion for the first time is whether there is any residual damage. For a boxer there is more to getting better than for most of us.

Brook is set to compete less than six months after a horrific stab attack nearly left him dead in Tenerife . Dan poses on the scales at the weigh in ahead of his title match with IBF welterweight champion Brook . Brook's attack left him with a 12-inch wound on his thigh and he has shown great strength to recover . If either his balance or strength in that leg has been sapped, Brook will find it doubly difficult to perform at elite level. If both are reduced, he will be diminished. Thus the examination about to be conducted by his moderate challenger, Jo Jo Dan, will be more medical than a test of Brook\u2019s talent. With older boxers it is the legs that go first. But you never find out for sure until he is engaged in the heat of battle. Close scrutiny on Sky television will determine whether Brook, at 28, has been slowed prematurely.

These include bands that keep tabs on your children, your elderly relatives and your pets. Each device is controlled via an app where a parent, concerned relative or pet owner can monitor and track its wearer's every move. A Chinese firm called Haier has developed a range of wearables that help you track other people. Senior bands with a leather strap have GPS technology built in so relatives can keep an eye on elderly people . The range was unveiled by Chinese tech giant Haier at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Its child and senior bands have GPS technology built-in but while the former is bright and colourful, the latter has a more classic look with a leather strap. Both are waterproof and are fitted with proximity sensors that feed location to an app where users can monitor the wearable\u2019s movements on a map. Colourful wearables for children also track their location. They are fitted with proximity sensors that feed a child's location to an app so that parents can see their location on a map . Phone maker Doro has launched a social networking tool for seniors called Connect and Care. It connects elderly people with relatives and carers and the service can be used to call for help and assistance in an emergency. Alternatively, the firm said it can also provide help with basic everyday household tasks such as closing a window. The service is optional and comes with Doro phones, and there is an Android and iOS app for relatives to keep an eye on the user and monitor their movement and communication. It gives alerts to the family if irregularities are detected \u2013 for example loss of movement. The app will also remind them to call their relative regularly. Concerned parents and relatives can also use the app to set up safe zones, meaning if a child or elderly relative leaves a dedicated zone, the app will send them an alert. The app also stores a log of the wearable\u2019s GPS history. Although many apps and bands track people in a similar way, Haier claims its devices differ because the microphone on each doubles up as a speaker. Similar to how a baby monitor works, the user can listen to ambient noises around the device to determine their location if there is a problem, for example. Users of the app can also talk to the wearer through the band. And for pet owners, Haier has also developed a smart collar that works in a similar way but for cats and dogs. In the future Haier said it plans to launch an SOS service that can be accessed directly from the band in the case of emergency. The company didn\u2019t announce prices or availability for the devices. Haier has also developed a smart collar for dogs.

'Between us, we have changed the fashion industry somehow and we will continue to change it,' Marchetti told journalists in a conference call on Tuesday.

Yoox stock: Yoox shares, which gained already nearly 10 percent on Monday after Yoox and Richemont confirmed the new purchase, values Yoox at 1.56 billion euros . Online luxury is not yet very profitable: Both Yoox's and NAP's operating margin is less than 5 percent compared with more than 25 percent for most big luxury brands such as Gucci or Prada. But the pair hope their bigger size will help cut warehouse, logistical, back-office and distribution costs, lifting margins. Yoox operates the online sales of fashion brands such as Ermenegildo Zegna and Kering (PRTP.PA)'s Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent and also sells items at a discount. Analysts said the deal could help boost Yoox's chances of retaining luxury brands that might otherwise have wanted to take their online operations in-house once they gained experience.

But she will likely still receive a payout . 'She would have been left with nothing had this happened two weeks later,' he said. 'They could have decided to accept the other form... but this saves everyone years of litigation. 'We appreciate the state stepping up and helping the family in this critical situation.' White Plains officials have also indicated that the city will cover health insurance for Mrs DiPietro-Hochman, 50, and her surviving 22-year-old daughter, Samantha, for 90 days, Roth said. He added that he hopes they can come to a longer-term agreement over the health insurance. Glen Hochman, 52, retired from the White Plains force after 22 years on January 30. Three weeks later, when his wife and their older daughter were in Connecticut, he gunned down 17-year-old Alissa and 13-year-old Deanna with his 40-caliber Glock as they slept.

He called police who found the girls' bodies. Hochman, who had no known health or psychiatric problems, apparently carried out the killings after he and his wife had spoken about a possible separation weeks earlier. Before the murders, Mrs DiPietro-Hochman went to police to report a non-violent argument with her husband over an $80 cellphone bill because a friend had urged her to record such incidents. Authorities said the suicide note, which was addressed to his wife and which included five or six pages of instructions on getting things in order, indicated that the killings were premeditated.

Holidaymakers could be recruited alongside students and housewives to form an army of so-called \u2018onlookers\u2019 carrying hidden cameras and recorders to catch tax dodgers. The plan, which met with immediate mockery from critics, emerged in a leaked letter sent by Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis to the President of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem, which outlines a range of reforms for the Greek economy. Revelation: The unusual plan emerged in a leaked letter sent by Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis (above) to the President of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem . In the letter Essex-University educated Varoufakis said: \u2018The culture of tax avoidance runs deep within Greek society.\u2019 Arguing that tax authorities were overstretched, he suggests hiring \u2018large numbers of non-professional inspectors\u2019 to spread fear among tax-avoiders. The plan would involve basic training for the amateur tax sleuths who would be \u2018wired for sound and video.\u2019 The inspectors, who would operate across the country with tourists most suitable for spying on resort areas, would not be able to confront tax dodgers or have any authority to carry out checks but the evidence they collected could be used in prosecutions. The inspectors would be hired for a maximum of two months and would not be re-hired. Varoufakis, finance minister of the new left-wing Syriza government in Greece, claims the move would create a new climate in the country. Secret filming: Holiday makers could be recruited alongside students and housewives to form an army of so-called \u2018onlookers\u2019 carrying hidden cameras . \u2018The very news that thousands of casual \u2018onlookers\u2019 are everywhere, bearing audio and video recording equipment on behalf of the tax authorities, has the capacity to shift attitudes very quickly spreading a sense of justice across society and engendering a new tax compliance culture,\u2019 Varoufakis writes in his letter. The idea however has met with derision from some quarters with one unnamed European official quoted as saying the plan was \u2018hilarious\u2019. The letter is the Greek Government\u2019s detailed response to a request from its European partners to provide a list of reforms for its economy, a promise agreed by Varoufakis last month in return for an extension of its current bail-out pending further talks. The tax spy proposal is one of seven reforms proposed by Varoufakis, which will be considered by Eurozone finance ministers on Monday. Other measures include taxing gambling, improving existing budget and tax collecting systems and creating a Fiscal Council which would act as an independent overseer of state spending.

The reporter confronted her on the subject of hundreds of posts she had written about the McCann family, whose daughter Madeleine went missing in Portugal in 2007.

Called \u2018Methods for shielding electronic components from moisture\u2019, the filing awarded today describes a way of making the inside of a phone waterproof rather than the outside. Individual components would be covered in a thin film designed to stop liquids damaging the phone, even if it manages to penetrate the outer casing. The patent said protective cases have \u2018little value\u2019 once water has entered the phone and details a system of adding \u2018hydrophobic coating to components\u2019. This coating would be applied using plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition in which thin films are applied from a gas, or vapour, states to a solid state . Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S5 is IP67 rated thanks to a hydrophobic coating and cover that clips into place to protect the handset. The firm also added a rubberized gasket behind the back cover and added a waterproof coating inside the headphone jack. IP stands for Ingress Protection, and was created by the International Electrotechnical Commission. It is used to classify how much a coating provides protection from 'intrusion or immersion'. The rating is typically followed by two numbers - the first is the level of dust resistance, the second is water resistance. Dust resistance ranges from zero to six, and water resistance ranges from zero to nine. If an X is included, the device doesn't offer a classified rating for that substance. A rating of seven on the waterproof scale means: 'Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water (up to one metre).' As a result, the S5 can be submerged for up to half an hour at around 3ft (0.9 metres). However its latest models, the S6 and S6 Edge, have removed this feature. Apple\u2019s patent would instead involve coating individual components inside a phone, and within an already assembled circuit board. This coating would be applied using a method called plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition (PACVD), which desposits thin films from gas, or vapour, states to solid states. The plasma is typically created between two electrodes where reacting gases are added to form the solid. In the case of the fully-assembled circuit board and its electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields, Apple proposes perforating \u2018portions of the shields that overlay water sensitive electronics.\u2019 The coating would be applied through these perforations, and the board-to-board connectors would be covered by a silicone seal. The filing said: \u2018People who rely on electronic devices tend to carry them along to locations in which the electronic devices can incur damage. \u2018One form of damage that can be detrimental to an electronic device is water damage.

Last week, David Cameron was photographed preparing a meal in his kitchen at Downing Street. Next to his super-huge fridge was a modest but perfectly formed larder, stocked with everything from Marmite to mango chutney. Some say the resurgence is thanks to Downton Abbey, with inspirational scenes of Mrs Patmore and assistant cook Daisy in their larder. Indeed, the very word \u2018larder\u2019 makes you think of the cavernous cold rooms found in stately homes such as Highclere Castle (where Downton is filmed), which traditionally were bursting with salted meat, pickles, preserves and fresh bread. But you\u2019ve never had to be a lord to own a larder. In the Fifties, even the most modest new-build would have had a walk-in space at the back of the kitchen where food was stored. There was wall-to-floor shelving and often a marble shelf to keep food such as butter and cheese as chilled as possible. Kitchen suppliers and property agents have reported that more buyers are now looking for built-in larders like Kirstie's (pictured). 'A good larder can even add value to a property,' says the TV presenter . It was the arrival of the fridge in the mid-Fifties that dampened our ardour for the larder. Though the first ones cost the equivalent of \u00a34,500 in today\u2019s money, as prices came down and more people were able to afford one, larders went out of fashion. And that\u2019s a shame.

Valentic, who first appeared on the show when he was outbid on three properties before securing an apartment in the series seventh season, joined fellow property experts on this year's season of The Block as a weekly buyer\u2019s jury judge. Frank Valentic, buyer's advocate on The Block, said that most bathroom renovations would cost between $20,000 and $40,000 .

Valentic estimates that a bathroom renovation should cost between $20,000 and $40,000 depending on the property, and emphasized the importance of investing in the 'wet areas' of a property- the bathroom and kitchen. 'One of the key things to keep in mind would be to always try and include a separate bath, as almost all demographics prefer that,' Valentic said. 'Families with young kids will want a bath, and women often say that it's important as they like to relax with a soak,' he said.

A 25-year-old soldier in Lindenhurst, north of Chicago, was attempting to light a tracer round in his backyard with a blow torch when the ammunition exploded and alarmed residents on his street. Residents began calling 911 after their homes and windows began shaking from the blast at 9.45pm Saturday night. An Afghanistan reservist's bullet that exploded in a suburban neighborhood north of Chicago was a tracer round, which are often marked by a different colored tip from other ammunition (file photo) The reservist and his 23-year-old sister both received 'quite a few superficial wounds,' Lindenhurst police told the Chicago Tribune. They were released from the hospital Sunday morning and rejoined their parents, who treated their own small injuries. Tracer rounds contain a combustible compound that leaves a visible trail of the projectiles path. They can be taken out of their shells and ignited for use as flares, the likely intended outcome of Saturday's incident. 'What he thought would happen didn't,' Lindenhurst commander George Moravec said of the incident, which created a flash explosion. Moravec added that the reservist, who returned from Afghanistan last fall with the tracer, had a 'respected history in the military'. Houses on the reservist's street (pictured) were shaken and police are assessing to see if there was any damage . Tracer rounds (pictured in Kobane, Syria, 2014) can be used as flares if removed from their shell and ignited . The exploding bullet was not illegal to own as a civilian and foul play is not expected. Police are going back to the residents to assess any damage done to property. Great Lakes Naval Air Station said they will conduct an investigation into the incident.

By my reckoning, it\u2019s no more than a handful: Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Clint Eastwood and HM The Queen. And only one of them, I believe, lives in a larger house than Sir Tom\u2019s. Sir Tom Jones (pictured in Los Angeles in 1978) had his first No 1 in the UK in March 1965 . It was in March 1965 that his first hit, It\u2019s Not Unusual, went to No 1 in the UK and made him famous. To this day, the fame is untainted and the talent uneroded. Another significant milestone approaches on June 7, when he will turn 75 years old. All of which makes him the perfect subject for a lavishly appointed, no-holds-barred hardback biography. Smith\u2019s is not the first \u2014 in fact, it\u2019s the twelfth. But it\u2019s the first for nearly two years, and should keep us going until the autumn, when Sir Tom\u2019s autobiography is due out. What else will the great man be able to reveal, given that almost every imaginable revelation has already been made? Tom (pictured in early 1970s) married his wife Linda in 1957 when they were both only 16-years-old . For Sir Tom has not lived a particularly secretive life. Though married to Linda, nee Trenchard, for 58 years, and happily so, he has enjoyed a prolific extra-curricular love life. But as long as Linda doesn\u2019t have to read about it in the newspaper \u2014 let\u2019s hope she doesn\u2019t read this \u2014 she turns a blind eye. It\u2019s not just a matter of having your cake and eating it. It\u2019s having more cake than anyone else has ever had and eating every last crumb of it. Such opportunities would never have arisen, of course, without the talent. Jones was born with the gift of a golden voice, and he knows exactly what to do with it. This was apparent on his first hit, and has not wavered since. Tom Jones (pictured) was born Thomas Woodward but was persuaded to change his name by his manager Gordon Mills, who also persuaded the star to move to London from Wales . Quite what he should do with his career has not always been so obvious but, under the watchful eye of his son, Mark, who has managed him since the mid-Eighties, he has recaptured his place in the sun and gained a new generation of fans. Several generations, in fact. The backstory is well known. Babies hear it on their mothers\u2019 knees, and then tell it to their own babies many years later. Born Thomas Woodward in Treforest, South Wales, the infant Tom \u2018had an edge, even as a youngster in short trousers. He didn\u2019t just sing a song; he performed it with verve and passion\u2019.

According to the FBI, Peter Senese, 49, ran a sham non-profit called the I CARE Foundation where he purported he could reunite families with their children. In one particular incident, the alleged fraudster and pathological liar collected roughly $60,000 from a New York client whose child was abducted to India. However, the youngster was reportedly never recovered. Senese now faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of wire fraud. According to the FBI, Peter Senese, 49, (pictured) ran a sham non-profit called the I CARE Foundation where he purported he could reunite families with their children . He was arrested on Tuesday morning near his home in Brooklyn with his first court appearance due later that day. According to a Facebook fan page, Senese established the I CARE Foundation in 2011. However, a Tampa Bay Times article, alleges that Senese was already active in the child abduction business and operating as a 'master con' in May 2010. He went on to promote his group through the websites www.stopchildabduction.org and www.petersenese.com. He also built a presence on social media via Twitter and YouTube. According to the complaint, Senese told potential clients that he could recover children using former soldiers he knew from his days as a member of the U.S. Army's Delta Force. 'In fact, he could do no such thing, but that didn't stop him from allegedly repeatedly reaching out to the parents for more money to fund his non-existent rescue mission,' U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. In the India case, which took place in November 2013, Senese apparently claimed he had traveled to the country to seek out the perpetrators. He then sent several emails and text messages falsely assuring the family that the child's rescue was only days or even hours away. Documents also say he demanded more money to cover expenses - usually $3,000 to $5,000 a month. But investigators found that when Senese claimed he was overseas, he was really in New York, Miami or Los Angeles and hadn't traveled outside of the U.S. since 2007. They also found no records showing he was ever in the military and that I CARE was registered as a non-profit. There was also a second victim allegedly swindled out of $5,000 but Senese dropped the client after they wanted to arrange a meeting with an attorney.

The subject arises because he has the opportunity to win a 500th professional singles match on Tuesday, when he takes on South Africa\u2019s world No 15 Kevin Anderson in the fourth round of the Miami Open. It comes around nearly 12 years after making his professional debut as a 15-year-old in Manchester. He began with a victory over Wesley Moodie, another South African. Moodie was only just outside the top 100 at the time, so it was a fair indication of his opponent\u2019s outstanding promise.

Forest of Dean District Council accepted a humiliating motion criticising it for \u2018scandalous waste\u2019 over the past eight years after an ambush by Labour members. They forced through the vote, demanding an \u2018unqualified apology\u2019, when the ruling Conservatives were left short of numbers at a meeting this week. Forest of Dean District Council was forced to apologise for squandering over \u00a3500,000 on renovation work . The council was criticised for spending nearly \u00a3400,000 on renovating a reception area at its offices and another \u00a3120,000 on demolishing a building which they failed to sell and which has lain empty for four years. It was also attacked for shutting the district\u2019s tourism information offices and imposing charges for pest control, bulk waste and garden waste collections and car parking. The apology has already been posted on the authority\u2019s website and in press releases. Labour councillor Di Martin, who introduced the motion, said the Conservative administration, which has run the council in Gloucestershire for eight years, \u2018has failed miserably to listen to the people of the Forest of Dean and as a result they have been badly let down, an unqualified apology is due\u2019. Tory council leader Patrick Molyneux explained his party had abstained from voting against the embarrassing motion . She added: \u2018An apology is needed for the scandalous waste of taxpayers\u2019 money on the refurbishment of the district council\u2019s reception area [at a cost of \u00a3383,320]. \u2018The cost of refurbishment was meant to be recouped by the sale of Lawnstone House, which is now to be demolished at a further cost of \u00a3120,000.\u2019 Last night Tory council leader Patrick Molyneux explained why his party had abstained from voting against the embarrassing motion, which he dismissed as a \u2018blatant piece of electioneering\u2019. \u2018We didn\u2019t take part in the debate. We were down on our numbers and we weren\u2019t sure we\u2019d have the support to win in the chamber so we didn\u2019t vote,\u2019 he said. \u2018We don\u2019t regret it because it\u2019s a stupid motion \u2013 it\u2019s ill-founded and if anybody should hang their head in shame it is Di Martin. \u2018We were voted the most-improved council in the country in 2013 and if that\u2019s something we should apologise for, she\u2019s completely lost the plot.\u2019 Mr Molyneux added that the renovation work to the council\u2019s offices \u2013 which included \u00a313,550 to replace a CCTV system \u2013 was essential as it made the building more accessible to the disabled. \u2018It does seem like a lot but the old block where the reception was wasn\u2019t disabled friendly.

A senior nurse who filmed himself raping unconscious patients in an A&E ward is facing a lengthy jail sentence after admitting a string of offences on victims as young as ten. Andrew Hutchinson, 29, abused women under general anaesthetic as they lay in hospital beds behind curtains at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. The nurse even stole a medical camera from the hospital so he could film up a woman\u2019s skirt as she stood by her sick friend\u2019s bedside. Away from the hospital, Hutchinson volunteered as a paramedic at the trendy Wilderness festival in Oxfordshire where he groped two young women who had passed out in the medical tent. He also used the medical camera \u2013 which is routinely used by doctors to examine the internal organs of patients \u2013 to film girls as young as ten getting changed at his local leisure centre. The nurse was eventually caught by police after two girls at the White Horse Leisure Centre in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, saw him lurking near the women\u2019s changing rooms and raised the alarm. Hutchinson was arrested in November 2013 by police officers outside the leisure centre. Detectives found footage of his attacks on his mobile phone, computer, a memory stick and a camera. They also found 1,786 indecent images of children on his computer and phone. When officers contacted his victims, none had any idea that she had been sexually abused because they were either unconscious, anaesthetised or being secretly filmed. Hutchinson appeared at Oxford Crown Court yesterday where he pleaded guilty to all 28 charges put to him. He admitted two counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity, 12 counts of voyeurism, five counts of making indecent images of children, one count of outraging public decency, two counts of theft and one count of possession of a Class B drug. The court heard that police had identified ten victims \u2013 females aged from ten to 35. Police have been unable to trace one of the victims who was attacked at the hospital and they have been unable to establish the identities of a further 18 victims who were filmed by Hutchinson at the leisure centre. Caught on camera: This CCTV image shows Hutchinson, top, in the leisure centre where he was found to be spying on women . His rape victims were an 18-year-old woman attacked in October 2011 and a 35-year-old woman abused in February 2012. Both were under general anaesthetic at the time in the A&E department. Hutchinson, who had a girlfriend, became a nurse on the A&E wing of John Radcliffe Hospital in 2006. At some point he was promoted to the rank of senior nurse which meant he was trusted to treat patients on his own. The court was told he had no previous convictions and was thought to be a reliable and diligent member of staff.

House of Commons Speaker John Bercow has been accused of sexism after likening a female minister to a kitchen appliance. Mr Bercow said the Conservative Employment Minister Esther McVey was like 'washing machine' that keeps going just when it appears to have stopped. He intervened as the former GMTV presenter was giving her fourteenth response to questions in the Commons. Miss McVey was answering a question on mental health, Mr Bercow interjected to ask her to hurry up. He said: 'I am reminded of the feeling when one thinks the washing machine will stop \u2014 but it does not!' MPs questioned whether the Speaker should be likening a female minister to a domestic appliance. Ealing North Labour MP Stephen Pound said: 'A washing machine metaphor for a woman minister is seldom a good idea. Let's see how he spins his way out of this one!' Angie Bray, Conservative MP for Ealing Central and Acton, said it was an 'unnecessarily rude' put-down. She said: 'I'm not sure it's for him to criticise the style in which she chooses to answer her questions.' Miss McVey also appeared put out by the Speaker's remarks. When SNP MP Dr Eilidh Whiteford asked the next question, on claims that the Tories are planning to cut 30,000 jobs from the Department for Work and Pensions if they win the next election, the minister simply replied: 'For the sake of brevity and clarity, those figures are not true at all.' The Speaker added: 'That was exemplary brevity and clarity, I must concede.'

But the report, called 'No Ceilings,' comes at a time when the Foundation is under fire for accepting large cash infusions from countries that the State Department has accused of discriminating against women and committing other human rights abuses. Those nations include Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Algeria and Brunei. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Hillary and Chelsea Clinton spoke at the 'Clinton Global Initiative University' at the University of Miami on Saturday . ENGAGEMENT: Secretary of State John Kerry (second left) met with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud on March 5; the Clinton Foundation report mirrors the Obama administration's willingness to engage with governments of countries where women have fewer rights than men . The foundation told The New York Times that no foreign governments contributed toward producing the reports, but in the nonprofit world funds are fungible and it's unclear how anyone could wall off the project from the questionable donations. Former president Bill Clinton defended the foundation's work Saturday in Miami, saying that millions of dollars from the UAE and the Saudis in particular had no impact on its work. 'Do we agree with everything they do?' Clinton asked, 'No.' 'You\u2019ve got to decide when you do this work whether it will do more good than harm if someone helps you from another country.' The report, issued simultaneously in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese and Russian, is a 46-page update on progress made globally since Hillary a 1995 United Nations conference held in Beijing declared: 'Women\u2019s rights are human rights and human rights are women\u2019s rights.' The foundation released its report a day after International Women's Day, an annual March 8 observance that was shortened this year in the U.S. with the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. The symbolism of a shortchanged 23-hour American observance seemed tailor-made for the report's wordy scolding. 'Security is tenuous for women and girls, even in their own homes,' the Clinton Foundation writes in 'No Ceilings.' 'Critical barriers \u2013 including legal restrictions and limited access to resources \u2013 undermine women\u2019s economic opportunities.' 'And women\u2019s voices are still underrepresented in leadership positions \u2013 from legislatures to boardrooms, from peace negotiations to the media,' the report reads. The report is long on one-two punches, acknowledging some progress on specific issues but insisting that it's unsatisfactory. 'Today, more than four out of five [national] constitutions have some mechanism to guarantee gender equality,' the foundation says, 'but rights on paper often go unenforced \u2013 and many legal barriers remain.' 'Globally, women and girls are living longer and healthier lives, and the rate of maternal mortality has nearly halved,' but 'women and girls in certain regions and communities confront high rates of HIV, poor care during pregnancy and childbirth, and limited access to family planning.'

Part of a Southampton team boasting Luke Shaw, Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana, and managed by Mauricio Pochettino, Davis let in three against Chelsea that day in January 2014. Yet on Saturday, like a blast from the past, the 38-year-old goalkeeper became the fourth oldest player to feature this season. He did so with gusto, earning a round of applause from his team-mates as he entered the dressing room afterwards. 38-year-old veteran goalkeeper Kelvin Davis put in a confident display against Burnley on Saturday . Davis had come on as a substitute after first-choice Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster was injured . Davis' assured performance earned him plenty of praise from his team-mates as Southampton won 2-0 . Southampton striker Shane Long scores his side's opening goal against Burnley at St Mary's on Saturday . Long runs to celebrate in front of the home fans as Southampton take the lead against Burnley . Southampton have benefited from more opposition own goals than any other Premier League team this season (5). His appearance came in unfortunate circumstances. An injury to Fraser Forster's left knee that will almost certainly rule the goalkeeper out of England's internationals this month called for Davis to wipe the dust off his gloves. There is no reason to panic as far as Koeman is concerned. He has a man he deems reliable and professional enough, both behind the scenes as club captain and on the pitch, to fill the void. Koeman was 51 on Saturday and, while Shane Long and an own goal from Burnley's Jason Shackell provided the victory, the Southampton manager's birthday gift was in no short part down to the man 13 years his junior. 'I was not surprised because we see Kelvin working every day in the training session,' Koeman said. 'That's important to have somebody when he has to play that he has some confidence. That he will not be nervous. 'His situation is clear. Fraser is first and Kelvin is the second goalkeeper. You need a lot of experience when you need to play and you have to show it. 'That's difficult but he showed his quality. He was looking very comfortable and that gave confidence to the rest of the team. He's not the youngest goalkeeper but still he's a very good goalkeeper. He's a very good professional.' Burnley's Jason Shackell (left) is put under pressure by Southampton forward Graziano Pelle on Saturday . Davis still has some way to go before catching Leicester City's 42-year-old reserve goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer but he made the most appearances for Southampton in League One four seasons ago, having joined the Saints in 2006, and rolled back the years on Saturday. Davis denied Sam Vokes and Danny Ings with full-length saves, and gave Koeman hope that losing Forster will not hamper the club that have conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League this season. Burnley tested them, but European football remains", "summary": "Kelvin Davis made his first Premier League appearance in almost 15 months .

+{"article": "A former uncover CIA officer has launched a $25 million lawsuit against the spy agency in federal court, claiming he was wrongly fired after a senior manager fabricated allegations to tarnish his career, have him sacked and keep him from marrying the woman he loves. The officer filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia under the pseudonym Mack L. Charles in January. Charles' lawsuit alleges that he had a solid record as a CIA officer, reaching the bureaucratic equivalent of a lieutenant colonel in the military. He served in a war zone, won awards and received good ratings, the lawsuit says. A former uncover CIA officer has launched a $25 million lawsuit claiming he was fired after a senior manager tarnished his record and prevented him from marrying the woman he loves . But he ran afoul of his bosses after he filed an age discrimination complaint in 2009, the lawsuit says. His complaint asserted that managers sought to impede his romantic relationship with another CIA non-official cover officer - 21 years his junior - who became his fiancee, the suit says. The pair had planned to spy overseas together as a 'tandem couple,' but haven't spoken to her since his firing, the lawsuit says. In March 2011, Charles claims that a senior manager 'took the monstrous step' of ordering the woman to cease all contact with him, threatening her with an assignment at CIA headquarters in Washington if she disobeyed, effectively an end to her career overseas, reports the Daily Beast. Charles says he is suffering depression as a result of having no contact with his fianc\u00e9e who he 'thinks about [her] every day and misses her as much today as on the first day of his forced separation from her.' The suit also accuses the CIA of illegally barring the former officer from publishing his novel, tentatively titled Madhouse: A Forbidden Novel of The CIA. The CIA allocated billions of dollars to expanding the NOC program after 9/11, but the effort was largely a failure, claims Mack Charles in his lawsuit . The CIA faces occasional employment lawsuits like any other government agency, but this one is unusual because of the plaintiff's claim to have been a non-official cover officer, or NOC, in CIA parlance. Most CIA case officers work out of embassies posing as diplomats, giving them a level of protection should they be arrested while committing espionage. NOCs pose as businessmen, scholars or scientists in an effort to distance them from the U.S. government and afford them access to people who would never set foot in a U.S. embassy. If caught spying overseas, they could be jailed. The NOC program is even more secretive than traditional espionage, and officers who participate often operate using their real names instead of aliases. The CIA allocated billions of dollars to expanding the NOC program after 9/11, but the effort was largely a failure, former officers have said \u2014 a charge Charles repeats in his lawsuit.

An NHS doctor who fled the country to become a senior Taliban leader has been killed during an operation involving Pakistan security forces, it was claimed last night. Dr Mirza Tariq Ali, 39, who worked in hospitals in London and Cambridge, was involved in extremist groups in the UK when he was charged with a violent disorder at protest in London. But before his court appearance, he skipped bail to fight for the Taliban in Pakistan where he fronted extremist propaganda including a chilling recruitment video. Last year, his terror group was linked to the Pakistan Taliban massacre of 132 children in Peshawar. While in the UK, Ali was a close associate of extremist cleric Anjem Choudary as well as a number of UK jihadists who have gone to fight for Islamic State in Syria. Last night Choudary described Ali as a 'martyr' after he was reported killed by the Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, which has carried out a number of counter-terrorism operations in the region. In an obituary written by Choudary, he recalls an occasion when Ali operated on him in the back of a London caf\u00e9. Choudary also says he helped Ali to make a film of his experiences in Pakistan and the UK which Ali later used as part of a jihadist recruitment video while he was with the Taliban in Pakistan.

May Allah accept him.' Ehsanullah Ehsan, spokesman for the Taliban group which Ali had joined, vowed to avenge his death which he attributed to ISI and its Western allies. During his time in Pakistan, Ali also edited an online English-language jihadist magazine, called 'Ihya-e-Khilafat' (Revival of the Islamic Caliphate) aimed at recruiting Muslim youths from the west.

Kieran's parents, Nick and Cindy Brookes, have said they want to establish the sequence of events that led to his death so no other family will suffer a similar tragedy. They hope the trial will provide answers to lingering questions surrounding their son's death. Mr Brookes, 50, an NHS manager from Bovey Tracey, Devon, said: 'All this time after Kieran's death we are still not sure of exactly what happened. 'Not knowing the events which led to his death is something which holds back the healing process. 'We have some information about what went so dreadfully wrong but not all the details. We have a jigsaw but with some of the pieces missing. 'We're hoping that through the trial in France we will soon get those questions answered.'

There have been several previous allegations that Islamic State terrorists have already used weaponised chlorine. In October, Iraqi officials claimed ISIS could have used chlorine-filled cylinders during clashes in the towns of Balad and Duluiya.

The product, called Palcohol, had received the greenlight from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau briefly last year before the bureau backtracked and said the label approvals had been given in error. On Wednesday, bureau spokesman Tom Hogue told The Associated Press the issues were resolved and that four varieties of Palcohol were approved. But Hogue noted that states can also regulate alcohol sales in their borders. Dry booze: A brand of powdered alcohol has been approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. The maker of Palcohol hopes to start selling the product by summer. A few of their flavors of powdered alcohol seen above . The approval is a step forward for a small company whose product plans have already sparked controversy. Several states have already moved to ban powdered alcohol, including lawmakers in Colorado who last month advanced legislation to temporarily halt its sale. That bill has since morphed to ensure the regulation of powdered alcohol as if it were liquid alcohol once it gets federal approval. Concerns have included abuse by minors, the potential to snort the powder and whether Palcohol's light weight would make it easy to sneak alcohol into public events or spike drinks. Palcohol would come in a pouch, with water being added to the powder inside for the equivalent of an alcoholic drink. A statement on Palcohol's website says the company hopes to have the product for sale this summer. Palcohol founder Mark Phillips noted the approval of his products in an email early Wednesday morning, and said in a subsequent email that pricing hasn't yet been determined. 'We aren't commenting on production or distribution at this time,' he wrote. The four products that have been approved include powdered versions of a cosmopolitan, a margarita, vodka and rum. Phillips added that he expects another Palcohol product \u2014 Lemon Drop \u2014 should also be 'approved shortly.' Previously, Phillips had said he came up with the idea for Palcohol because he wanted a way to enjoy alcoholic drinks after hiking or other activities without having to lug around heavy bottles. Hogue said the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau regularly reaches out to the Food and Drug Administration to get determinations on whether a product might be considered 'adulterated.' If the FDA says the product isn't adulterated, he said the bureau's evaluation centers on whether labels accurately reflect what's in the product.

The move gives the record-breaking batsman the opportunity to press for an England recall, after being sacked in February 2014 following the Ashes whitewash defeat in Australia. Pietersen cleared the way for a return to The Oval by agreeing a release from the majority of his Indian Premier League contract with Sunrisers Hyderabad - which clashed with the start of the English domestic season - and he will be available for Surrey's first County Championship match against Glamorgan in Cardiff on April 19. Encouraged by new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves' indication that he may be back in the mix if he can impress again in county cricket, the 34-year-old Pietersen has two months to do that if he is to achieve his dream of a Test recall in time for this summer's Ashes rematch.

'There is a fantastic group of lads here, and I hope we can deliver what the great Surrey fans want to see - lots of runs and comprehensive victories.' Pietersen also wrote in his column in the Telegraph: 'When I heard Colin Graves say that I would be considered for selection again if I play county cricket and score runs I realised I had the opportunity for a fresh start. I always said this was not about money and I will be donating my full Surrey wage to my foundation. 'Even if this does not work out and I do not get back in the England team, I will at least end my career knowing I gave it another shot. I would kick myself for a long time if I walked away now without having a go. 'A lot of people thought I would not be prepared to put in the hard yards and play county cricket but I will do anything to get that England cap back on my head.' Pietersen will donate his full salary from Surrey to his KP24 foundation . Imminent Surrey signing Pietersen says he will 'do everything in my power to earn a recall' with England . Stewart added: 'A Kevin Pietersen with ambitions to play for England and a real determination to score big runs for Surrey will be a huge asset to us.' The apparent clinching development in Pietersen's negotiations to rejoin the club which de-registered him at the end of last season was the Sunrisers' willingness to release him from the majority of his contract.

But the display was strewn with errors and England delivered less than they should have done, although there were positive signs. England captain Chris Robshaw lifts the Calcutta Cup after England beat Scotland, but it was a mixed bag . WHAT I LIKED . THE CREATIVE SPARK . I am enjoying England\u2019s creativity and their ability to fashion try-scoring opportunities, even if they must be more clinical in accepting them. Their first try summed up what is best about this England side. George Ford is a sublime late passer of the ball and when he works in conjunction with a talent such as Jonathan Joseph, who has quick feet, pace and strength, it can prove lethal. The caveat is that Scotland were poor and most top international defences are akin to that which England encountered in Dublin, the only Six Nations game this season when the England backs have been blunted. George Ford is a sublime late passer of the ball and clearly has the composure for Test matches . Jonathan Joseph has such quick feet and that is an attribute that can be lethal when linked with Ford . SETTLED AT THE BACK . Ford and Ben Youngs are now established as starters and an established half-back pairing is a boon to any side. Equally, I believe the back three of Mike Brown, Jack Nowell and Anthony Watson are probably the preferred trio going forward and Joseph is a must at outside centre with the cutting edge he now brings \u2014 four tries in four Six Nations games this season. A settled side will allow those chances to be created but, more importantly, finished off. Ben Youngs (right) is part of an established half-back pairing with Ford and that is a boon to any side .

A friend of Jihadi John accused of organising al-Qaeda terror atrocities has used the Human Rights Act to avoid being deported despite being deemed a threat to national security. The terror suspect, originally from Ethiopia, is believed to be a leading member of al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia. He was accused of playing a part in the 2005 plot to blow up the London Underground and is an associate of ISIS executioner Jihadi John - unmasked this week as Mohammed Emwazi. But the deportation case against the man, who can only be identified as J1, collapsed after a five-year court battle when a British diplomat admitted the system was not working. Lawyers argued the man's human rights would be breached if he was sent back to Ethiopia, where he could face detention and possible torture. The terror suspect is now living in London and has also been linked to two al-Qaeda extremists killed in US drone attacks in Somalia. Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the Government has 'serious questions' to answer about the case and questioned why he wasn't placed under special controls. She told the Telegraph: 'This man (J1) has been linked to planned terror attacks, associated with known terrorists, and identified as a risk to the UK. So why didn't Theresa May at least put him on a TPIM in 2013 when he was released from immigration detention? 'And what is being done now? Are they reconsidering TPIMs, deportation assurances or prosecution options? Or do they no longer believe he is a significant threat?' A TPIM is a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measure which allows authorities to impose a curfew and limit communications on someone they 'reasonably believe' is involved in terror activities.

Robert Montagu, son of the 10th Earl of Sandwich, suffered years of abuse by his father. Speaking at a Literary festival in Oxford, he said 'noteworthy families' often feel entitled to abuse people . In a report for The Times, he said: 'People from noteworthy families do feel a sense of entitlement. 'It is true that people from an entitled background have more opportunities, maybe circumstances have made it more likely that they will abuse.

Mr Montagu has talked in the past about how a loving relationship with his father turned to abuse when he was aged seven. It began after his mother, Rosemary Peto, goddaughter of Queen Maud of Norway, left the family home, and he believes his father used it as a way to cope with the loss.

The Rhinos left out England international Zak Hardaker after it emerged that he was the subject of a police investigation into an assault case, forcing Leeds to throw teenager Ashton Golding in for his full debut. Golding performed admirably but little else went right for Leeds as they fell from the top of the table and suffered a fifth consecutive defeat at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in going down 18-6 to a Warrington side starting to find their groove. Kevin Penny touches down over the line to score a magnificent solo try and get Warrington on their way . The Rhinos trailed 18-0 until scoring what proved to be a consolation try through winger Tom Briscoe and skipper Kevin Sinfield's goal took him to within three points of the 4,000 mark. The Wolves, led by the magnificent Chris Hill in the absence of the injured Joel Monaghan, created the first chance when lively left winger Matty Russell produced a half-break but centre Ryan Atkins was pulled back for a forward pass. Both sides were full of attacking intent but they virtually cancelled each other out and it took a moment of brilliance from right winger Kevin Penny to break the deadlock on 15 minutes. Penny was forced to drop back to collect Stefan Ratchford's wayward pass but that succeeded in fooling the Leeds defence which was back-pedalling when the one-time basketball player cut a swathe through the middle for an opportunist score. Joe Philbin stops Leeds' Kallum Watkins in a game where excellent defenses trumped ambitious attacks . The Rhinos lost centre Joel Moon with concussion at that point but second rower Carl Ablett has plenty of experience in the threequarters and he demonstrated his nous on 25 minutes to create a clear-cut opening for winger Ryan Hall, who uncharacteristically fumbled the pass. The Wolves then struck another blow seven minutes before the break when Ratchford raced onto a perfectly-judged grubber kick from scrum-half Gareth O'Brien. Ratchford kicked his second goal to make it 12-0 and Warrington defended superbly to keep their lead intact up to the break, with Leeds duo Brad Singleton and Danny McGuire held agonisingly short of the line. Leeds recovered a 12-point interval deficit to win handsomely in their last match but any hopes of a repeat were dashed by an unlikely error from their inspirational captain. Stefan Ratchford dives on the ball to score his side's second try, awarded after a decision from the TMO . O'Brien swooped on a stray pass from the Rhinos stand-off 30 metres out from the visitors' line to get Atkins over for a third try and Ratchford kicked his third goal. Leeds grabbed a lifeline on the hour when Hall broke clear on halfway and centre Kallum Watkins was in support to get Briscoe away and they thought they had scored again moments later when Singleton touched down after Ratchford had fumbled", "summary": "Kevin Penny scores brilliant solo try to put Warrington in front .

The number of homes planned for the country\u2019s green belt has increased 38 per cent in less than two years, according to a study by the Campaign to Protect Rural England . The framework, introduced three years ago, ordered planning boards to shift the \u2018presumption\u2019 of their decisions \u2018in favour\u2019 of development. The Coalition has repeatedly said that there were sufficient regulations in place to protect rural Britain from inappropriate developments. Just this month David Cameron said \u2018the green belt is protected\u2019 and that he viewed its continued preservation as \u2018paramount\u2019. But the new figures lay bare the extent to which developers have been able to move on to prime rural sites, where they are often able to charge a premium for luxury homes. In its analysis of nine English regions, the CPRE paper shows that councillors and planning inspectors have signed off major releases of green belt over the past 19 months. The Metropolitan green belt which encircles London is particularly under pressure, with the number of houses planned rising from 32,500 to 87,000 since the summer of 2013.

+{"article": "Former French Interior Minister Claude Gueant was yesterday placed under formal criminal investigation . Former French Interior Minister Claude Gueant was yesterday placed under formal criminal investigation over cash he allegedly received from Colonel Gaddafi. It is all part of a wider corruption enquiry into claims that Gueant's former boss, Nicolas Sarkozy, received millions from the late Libyan dictator. Gueant, 70, was Sarkozy's chief of staff during the 2007 election campaign which saw Sarkozy become French president. The central allegation is that Muammar Gaddafi directly funded the campaign, in return for Sarkozy's support. Both Sarkozy and Gueant deny the claims, but Paris judicial sources confirmed Gueant 'was being interviewed about the allegations from 6.45am today'. He faces a long criminal investigation which could end up in a court trial and prison sentence. Investigators were particularly interested in how Gueant could have sold two paintings by an obscure Flemish Baroque master for the record price of Euro 500,000 (\u00a3423,000). Gueant insists that the cash payment was a good price for Andries van Eertvelt 17th Century paintings of boats in a storm. Gueant said: 'I made the deal under personal circumstances, but I'm not an art investor' saying he sold them in 2008 to an unidentified Malaysian lawyer. But art experts say the paintings were not worth anything like that amount, and there are suspicions that the cash in fact came from Gaddafi. Sarkozy, who only completed one term as president before losing the 2012 election to Francois Hollande, has been dogged by corruption allegations related to Gaddafi. A document made public in Paris in 2012 is said to show that the pair sealed an illegal financial deal that propelled Sarkozy to power in 2007. Written in Arabic and signed by Mussa Kussa, Gaddafi's intelligence chief, in 2006, it refers to an 'agreement in principle to support the campaign for the candidate for the presidential elections, Nicolas Sarkozy, for a sum equivalent to Euro 50million'. Claude Gueant and Nicolas Sarkozy are accused of accepting cash from Colonel Gaddafi (above) to fund their 2007 election campaign . France's current Interior Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said at the time: 'Faced with such serious allegations, backed up by documents sourced from the Libyan dictator's own entourage, Nicolas Sarkozy must explain himself to the French people. 'Several times in recent weeks, specific information has been published by the press relating to France's relationship with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime.' A governmental briefing note among papers sent to the investigative news site Mediapart points to numerous visits to Libya by Sarkozy and his colleagues which were aimed at securing funding. One, said to have taken place on October 6, 2005, led to 'campaign finance to NS' being 'all paid' - assumed to be a reference to Sarkozy. At the time, Sarkozy was an ambitious interior minister who was raising money for his presidential election campaign, even though taking cash from a notorious tyrant would have broken political financing laws.

The timing of the eclipse, which comes a few weeks before a lunar eclipse, is apparently significant. Coinciding also with the spring equinox, the rare 'once in 100,000-year' event could indicate that trouble is brewing in Europe, according to the pastor. On Friday morning, Europe will be treated to a partial solar eclipse (1999 eclipse shown). But a pastor has warned that it coincides with a so-called 'blood moon'. This lunar eclipse, when the moon appears red, occurs a few weeks later. He said the chance alignment could be a sign of the end of times . The claim was made by pastor Mark Blitz for the Christian website Root Source in an interview with WorldNetDaily (WND). The partial solar eclipse on Friday 20 March is itself fairly rare, as the last solar eclipse in Europe occurred back in 1999. However, a few weeks later on 4 April, the third of four \u2018blood moon\u2019 lunar eclipses will take place, while it is also the first day of spring and the first day of the Jewish religious calendar. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in the shadow of Earth, and appears red due to light refracting differently and hitting its surface. 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. \u2018An event of this magnitude at the very beginning of the religious new year demands attention,\u2019 Mr Blitz told WND. \u2018As the Bible tells us, there will be signs in the heavens on the feast days, and this is a very significant sign on a critical day. \u2018It\u2019s the same day that there was the grand-opening ceremony of the tabernacle of Moses, with fire from heaven lighting the altar. Historically, this is a day of judgment.\u2019 He also said it was \u2018likely a message from God to the entire world.\u2019 There will also be a partial solar eclipse on 13 September 2015, followed by the last of the four blood moons - known as a tetrad - on 28 September. The previous two occurred on 15 April and 8 October 2014. The so-called \u2018blood moon prophecy\u2019 is apparently a sign that the world is coming to an end. Mr Blitz said the last time there were four blood moons in a row, in 1967, Israel captured Jerusalem.

Coasting at 2-0 with just a quarter-hour remaining here at Wembley, Wrexham had their celebrations well underway. Then, North Ferriby United decided to roll up, gatecrash and ruin everything. Goals from Louis Moult and Jay Harris had the Welsh side in complete control but North Ferriby, who play a division below, forced extra time through Liam King\u2019s penalty and Ryan Kendall\u2019s late leveller. Players of North Ferriby United celebrate after winning the The FA Carlsberg Trophy on penalties . Then, incredibly, they took the lead as Kendall pounced again, only for Moult to send this magnificent advertisement for the non-league game to penalties. The first five spot-kicks were all scored, the next four saved and the four after that all scored. And so it was Wrexham\u2019s Steve Tomassen, under the pressure of sudden death, who had to be the fall-guy. His penalty was kept out by Adam Nicklin and so North Ferriby were the ones who ascended the 107 steps to lift the handsome silver trophy.

It was, it\u2019s fair to say, the finest moment in their 81-year existence, a moment nobody associated with the Humberside club will ever forget. For Wrexham, the national stadium has become something of a second home. This was their third visit in as many years - in 2013, they beat Grimsby Town in the FA Trophy final before returning later in the same campaign for the Conference Play-offs final, losing to Newport County. North Ferriby is a village on the north bank of the Humber, not too far from Hull. It has a population of under 4,000 and most of them seemed to have decamped to Wembley for the day. The place itself must have been eerily empty. Players of both team prepare for extra time which ended up finishing 3-3 after the 30 minutes . Among those watching on was Hull City chairman Assem Allam, while Tigers manager Steve Bruce had fixed it with his pal Sam Allardyce for Ferriby to use West Ham\u2019s training facilities on the eve of the game. The Villagers, ninth in their league, had played under the Twin Towers but not under the Arch. It was 1997 when they last came to Wembley, losing to Whitby Town in the FA Vase final. The Welsh side were backed by some 10,000 supporters and, as expected, they made the early running. It took just 11 minutes to make the breakthrough as Moult continued his marvellous run of goals in this season\u2019s Trophy.

While some culprits, such as Coca-Cola and ice cream are well known (and used here for comparison purposes), there are many other less obvious foods - such as pasta sauce, soup and so-called healthy granola - that are loaded with the white stuff. For example, a 500g jar of Dolmio bolognaise sauce contains more than six cubes of sugar - the same as a Mars bar. And Heinz tomato soup is on par with Bulmer's cider in the sweetness stakes, with five cubes. Scroll down for video . Danger: As this worrying graphic reveals, millions of us are unwittingly eating everyday foods packed with sugar - and getting fatter in the process . Even a \u2018healthy' fruit such as a mango contains nine cubes. However the sugars in milk, vegetables and pieces of fruit (as opposed to fruit juice), including dried fruit, do not wreak as much havoc. So if you\u2019re getting most of your sugar from these sources, you can eat up to 18 cubes daily. More and more evidence suggests that too much sugar is contributing to the obesity and diabetes epidemic. It is the sheer quantity of sugar that we consume that creates the problem, says Roy Taylor, professor of medicine and metabolism at Newcastle University. \u2018Sugar calories slip down so easily and lead to weight gain.\u2019 The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends no more than 10 per cent of a person's daily energy should come from free sugars - those that are added to processed foods and drinks, but also those found naturally in honey, syrups and fruit juices. That equates to around 50g or 10 cubes a day - easily reached with a bottle of fizzy drink. However, the UN agency advises that people aim for no more than five per cent - 25g or around six teaspoons - to achieve the biggest health benefits. Yet many of us are consuming way in excess of this. A report published by the The World Health Organisation earlier this month revealed the current average intake of free sugars in North and Central America is 95g a day (19 cubes) rising to 130g (26 cubes) a day in South America.

Only 48 per cent now back the death penalty for \u2018some crimes\u2019, down from 54 per cent in 2013, according to a NatCen British Social Attitudes study. It is the first time that support has fallen below 50 per cent since NatCen began asking the public for its views on capital punishment in 1986. Support for the death penalty stood at 74 per cent in 1986 but had fallen to 59 per cent by 1998, according to the social research institute. The survey also found that at present Ukip voters are more likely to support the death penalty, with 75 per cent in favour. Rachel Ormston, co-head of social attitudes at NatCen, said: \u201cThe big change in public attitudes to the death penalty came in the 1990s at a time when attitudes to a range of other issues, like same-sex relationships and sex before marriage were also liberalising. \u201cThis more recent change is interesting because attitudes have stayed fairly steady for a number of years. \u201cIt could be the continuation of this liberalising trend or, perhaps, a response to the shocking botched executions in the United States that were widely reported in April and July of last year.\u201d Clare Algar, executive director of the legal charity Reprieve, said: \u201cThis welcome finding finally debunks the myth that, given half the chance, the British people would vote to bring back hanging. \u201cIn fact, the trend is clear.

On one side is Kit Morrison, a Mormon investor who says he and two associates have successfully beaten back half a dozen rogues and thieves to gain legal ownership of the 840-pound rock. On the other stands the nation of Brazil, whose lawyers contend the cartoonishly large green jewel should be repatriated after it was illegally mined and shipped out of the country in 2001. Legendary gem: The Bahia emerald, one of the world's largest, has wound up in the custody of the LA County Sheriffs Dept after over a decade of changing hands and being shipped, stolen and fought over in court . Crystals the size of a man's arm protrude from the 840-pound stone and make the Bahia one of the largest emeralds ever unearthed . 'We've beaten six people,' Morrison told CBS News. 'We've either settled with them or beaten them in court to show that we are the bonafide purchaser of this emerald. We are the last man standing, if you will.' Morrison says he received it as collateral from gem dealer Larry Biegler for a shipment of diamonds for which he paid $1.3 million but never received. Biegler in 2008 claimed to Morrison--who was still awaiting his diamonds--that he'd been kidnapped by the Brazilian mafia, according to Bloomberg. Biegler had tried to pacify Morrison with two buckets of low quality emeralds he sold for just $20,000 and Morrison realized he was unlikely to ever receive his diamonds. So, he convinced Morrison's cohort Jerry Ferrera to help him get even with Biegler by taking possession of the Bahia emerald. When Biegler found the gem missing from his Southern California vault, he called police. The massive stone, which was pulled from a mine in the jungles of Brazil's Bahia state and is known as the Bahia Emerald, is not going to win any beauty contests. According to those who have seen it, it is a hulking brute of a gem, with several thick green rods the size of a man's forearms jutting out of a stone base. However, part of its allure--indeed, part of what led to a valuations of nearly $400 million--is in its convoluted history. The Bahia, one of the world's largest emeralds, has had a long journey since Silicon Valley entrepreneur Tony Thomas had himself photographed with it in a carport in Brazil in 2001. The LA Sheriff's Dept came to possess the internationally known stone after at least eight gem dealers, investors and thieves had one-by-one come to own--or believe they owned--all 180,000 carats of it .

+{"article": "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. The eagle talons shown above were found at a site inhabited by Neanderthals and are the earliest example of jewellery yet discovered, according to researchers who have re-examined them 100 years after they were found . The findings will add to mounting evidence that Neanderthals were not the slow-witted and primative creatures they are often portrayed as. Instead they are emerging as having had a sophisticated culture, were highly intelligent and may have even created art. 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 2 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. The new findings suggest that the talons may have had a symbolic purpose - something that some anthropologists have argued Neanderthals did not possess or copied off modern humans. However, Dr David Frayer, an anthropologist at the University Kansas who led the study along with colleagues in Croatia, said the talons appear to have been made into symbolic jewellery 80,000 years before modern humans arrived in Europe. He said: 'It's really a stunning discovery. 'It's one of those things that just appeared out of the blue. 'It's so unexpected and it's so startling because there's just nothing like it until very recent times to find this kind of jewellery.' The eight talons were discovered more than 100 years ago at a site where Neanderthal remains have been found just outside the town of Krapina in northern Croatia. The researchers examined the talons and found that four of them bear multiple smooth edged cut marks around the top. Three of the largest talons also have", "summary": "Eight eagle talons were found at a site in Croatia inhabited by Neanderthals .

But Mercedes ended that dominance in crushing style last year and Vettel - who seemed isolated and despondent throughout the season - made the switch to Ferrari. 'The change felt right for me and it gives me a lot of joy,' Vettel said. 'My ambition is to be right there at the top again, not only for me but also in terms of the team. In this respect, we should make a perfect fit.' Sebastian Vettel enters the new Formula One season in the unusual position of being the outsider . The Ferrari driver is doing the chasing behind the Mercedes pair of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg . The German also gets the chance to emulate his childhood idol, seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, who won the vast majority of his titles and his 91 GPs with Ferrari. The 27-year-old Vettel, who has 39 GP wins and 45 pole positions, clearly needed to get away from Red Bull. Vettel finished a dismal fifth in the drivers' standings, with no wins and just four podium places. The gap between him and Hamilton was a mammoth 217 points. Worse still, he was usurped by his junior team-mate, Daniel Ricciardo, who finished third and won three races. The timing seemed just right for Ferrari, too, which needed a change following two seasons of tensions with Fernando Alonso. Pre-season testing has been like a fresh start.

+{"article": "A new series of secret government tests will investigate how to thwart the threat from civilian drones as usage increases, it has emerged. An official source told The Associated Press that the U.S. Secret Service will conduct drone flights between 1am and 4am over the coming weeks in restricted airspace over Washington D.C. During missions, agents will look at how to interfere with rogue consumer-level drones, which commonly carry video cameras but are powerful enough to carry small amounts of explosives. The challenge for the Secret Service is quickly detecting a rogue drone flying near the White House or the president's location, then within moments either hacking it to seize control over its flight or jamming its signal to send it off course or make it crash. Growing trend: A new series of secret government tests will investigate how to thwart the threat from civilian drones as usage increases, it has emerged . The Secret Service has said only that it will openly test drones over Washington, but it declined to provide details such as when it will fly, how many drones, over what parts of the city, for how long and for what purposes. It decided to tell the public in advance about the tests out of concern that people who saw the drones might be alarmed, particularly in the wake of the drones spotted recently over Paris at night. Flying overnight also diminishes the chances that radio jamming would accidentally affect nearby businesses, drivers, pedestrians and tourists. It is illegal under the U.S. Communications Act to sell or use signal jammers except for narrow purposes by government agencies. Depending on a drone's manufacturer and capabilities, its flight-control and video-broadcasting systems commonly use the same common radio frequencies as popular Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies. Jamming by the Secret Service - depending on how powerfully or precisely it works - could disrupt nearby Internet networks or phone conversations until it's turned off. Testing in the real-world environment around the White House would reveal unexpected effects on jamming efforts from nearby buildings, monuments or tall trees. Signals emanating from an inbound drone - such as coming from a video stream back to its pilot - could allow the Secret Service to detect and track it. Federal agencies generally need approval to jam signals from the U.S. telecommunications advisory agency, the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Found: The recreational drone that landed on the White House South Lawn is seen in this U.S. Secret Service handout . That agency declined to tell the AP whether the Secret Service sought permission because it said such requests are not routinely made public. The Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed it formally authorized the Secret Service to fly the drones and granted it a special waiver to fly them over Washington. The agency declined to provide specifics about the secret program. In January, a wayward quadcopter drone, piloted by an off-duty U.S. intelligence employee, landed on the White House lawn.

And Austin, who has scored the most goals of any English player in the Premier League this season, is keen to put his past behind him to be viewed as a footballer and not an ex-builder. The 25-year-old came up through the ranks in lower league football, before getting his break in the big time. To fund himself while playing for clubs like Kintbury Rangers and Hungerford Town, Austin was a builder by trade, but now the time has come for a change in mentality. Charlie Austin (right) thinks he has scored enough goals to be considered a footballer rather than a builder . Austin has come up through the ranks, starting in non-League and working his way to the top . 'I have scored 100-odd career goals now,' Austin told The Sun, 'and think I have done enough to be considered a player rather than a builder who plays football. I know where I have come from but I feel like I have done enough to be known as a footballer now. 'The only blisters I have on my hands these days are from the gym. Laying bricks was about five or six years ago now.' His journey to this point is the antithesis of Kane's, who has spent 11 years in the relative comfort of Tottenham Hotspur's academy. The now-QPR striker got his first League break at Swindon Town, for whom he scored over 30 goals . Austin takes on team-mate Shaun Wright-Phillips during a training session at Queens Park Rangers . For Austin though, that route didn't work out. He was released by Reading as a teenager for being too small, and had to rely on opportunities elsewhere to get where he is today. 'Coming through the academies didn't work for me,' the QPR striker continues. 'I was released at 14. I wouldn't change it at all. Harry [Kane] would probably tell you the same about his upbringing. We just got taught differently. 'My way you pick up things as you go through the game. For players in academies... everything is in place for them at the clubs.' Regardless of their differences, Austin and Kane will face each other for the first time on Saturday afternoon. In fact, they've never even met before. 29 league goals between them this season has warranted calls for international call-ups, but all eyes will be on west London to see which player comes out on top in this encounter. Austin's career in football has been the opposite of Harry Kane, who has been at Tottenham for 11 years .

(Atlantic \u00a317.99) Some years ago a policeman stopped a driver who had been circling a roundabout for nearly an hour. When he asked him if there was anything wrong, the man replied: \u2018I don\u2019t know how I got here.\u2019 Ropper gives a fascinating account of his work as a neurologist in Boston (stock image) The confused driver, a salesman, was taken to hospital, where a junior doctor found nothing wrong with him, apart from memory loss. He concluded that it was an episode of transient global amnesia (TGA), a dramatic, but harmless condition. The junior doctor asked Dr Allan Ropper, then the hospital\u2019s senior resident in neurology, to authorise the patient\u2019s discharge, expecting that his memory loss would, as usual in incidents of TGA, return within hours. Ropper examined the man himself. Together, they worked out that the roundabout incident had come at the end of a 12-hour drive. The patient recalled only getting in his car that morning and heading for somewhere completely different. He couldn\u2019t retain the names of the doctors examining him or what he\u2019d just eaten. Unconvinced by the TGA diagnosis, Ropper decided to keep him in overnight, suspecting a stroke. The following morning, the salesman\u2019s memory had returned, but with huge gaps: had he been suffering only an episode of temporary amnesia, it would have returned completely. After 23 hours, the patient\u2019s speech became slurred and Ropper knew instantly he was suffering a stroke. An arterial blockage was restricting blood flow to part of his brain. Treated with anticoagulants and other drugs, the man quickly recovered with only minimal memory difficulties. Ropper\u2019s fascinating and gripping account of his work as a neurologist at Boston\u2019s Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital in Massachusetts reveals what a mysterious and little understood organ the brain is, not least in the list of all the things that can go wrong with it. Sometimes it simply seizes up because of psychological pressure, as in the case of a 23-year-old woman who was admitted after suddenly losing the power of speech. Extensive testing showed no evidence of brain damage, seizure or stroke. But questioning of her family revealed she\u2019d broken up with her boyfriend that day. Next day, she\u2019d recovered. So-called hysterical symptoms that have no basis in disease often present like neurological diseases. They include paralysis, the inability to walk or talk, blindness, deafness and weakness. Spotting genuinely serious malfunctions and distinguishing them from merely harmless tics and tremors is far from easy, but there are some symptoms a neurologist doesn\u2019t want to see. In the case of a young mother admitted with what appeared to be a severe asthma attack, Ropper\u2019s heart sank when he spotted the muscle between her thumb and forefinger twitching. He knew he was looking at ALS or Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease, a fatal illness that would see her body begin to shut down until it was kept alive solely by machines. At some point this woman would have to decide when her life became so", "summary": "Ropper gives a fascinating account of his work as a neurologist in Boston .

The amusing game of peek-a-boo took place in Vysoka, a small village in the country's hilly east, while the seven-year-old male owl was out hunting.

Nick Clegg will today press ahead with plans to decriminalise possession of all drugs \u2013 despite charities warning the move will wreck thousands of lives. The Lib Dem leader is to pledge that his party will bring forward plans to ensure those caught with drugs for \u2018personal use\u2019 will no longer face criminal prosecution.

But experts last night condemned the move, saying it will push thousands of youngsters into addiction and mental health problems. A poll of 100 charities by the Centre for Social Justice found that 69 per cent of charities in the field would be concerned if the Government decriminalised cannabis. More than half \u2013 56 per cent \u2013 said cannabis use would increase if its use was decriminalised.

They warn that a merger between the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) and the Unite union would threaten the impartiality of Whitehall. Half of all civil servants are members of the PCS, which is not currently politically affiliated. If the two unions merged, they would effectively be subsumed into a union which is Labour\u2019s biggest financial supporter. Unite, which has donated millions to Labour since Ed Miliband became leader of the party, could be set to merge with the Public and Commercial Services Union . Unite is at least five times larger than PCS, which claims a membership of 270,000. Unite, which has made \u00a314.3million in donations to Labour since Ed Miliband became leader in 2010, has 1.42million members. A Conservative source said: \u2018A takeover of PCS by Labour\u2019s biggest donor, Unite, would make over half of all civil servants members of a Labour-affiliated union. \u2018PCS and Unite must come clean about their secret plans. No takeover can be permitted to imperil the perceived impartiality of the civil service.\u2019 The PCS has been in financial difficulty following cuts to the civil service, as well as an end to a system where Government departments automatically deducted union dues from the payroll. A leaked document suggests it plans to sell its headquarters to a private equity fund and suspend national elections for this year. The union blames its financial crisis on the downsizing of the civil service, now a fifth smaller than it was in 2010. The end of the \u2018check off system\u2019, which saw union fees deducted automatically from salaries by many Government departments has also squeezed the PCS. MPs have warned a left-wing merger between the PCS and Unite (Unite protest pictured) would threaten the impartiality of Whitehall . Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude has overseen the closure of this scheme at the Home Office, Department for Work and Pensions, HMRC, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Defence.

The overall cost of such taxpayer-subsidised union officials has fallen by more than two-thirds, while the number of full-time union officials paid for by the public purse has fallen from over 200 to fewer than ten. Last year, the PCS discussed the possibility of a merger with Unite at its annual conference, but the idea was shelved. A source at the PCS played down the prospect of the deal with Unite being revived, saying: \u2018It\u2019s no secret that we had informal discussions. These proposals were never driven by finances. Our conference voted against a motion from the national executive saying we should carry on exploring it, and said we should set more formal conditions.

DRIVERS who use mobile phones at the wheel should be banned from the roads, Britain\u2019s top traffic officer said yesterday. Suzette Davenport insisted that a rise in offending showed much tougher punishments were needed to deter the worst culprits. But she claimed ministers were too scared of losing votes in May\u2019s election to act against the estimated 500,000 motorists who break the law every day. The Gloucestershire chief constable said the absence of proper penalties risked making it socially acceptable to text or surf the internet while driving. The offence of using a hand-held mobile at the wheel currently attracts only a \u00a3100 fine with three penalty points.

Her intervention follows the release of figures last week showing that mobile offending has risen despite numerous crackdowns. Robert Goodwill, Tory transport minister, rejected the claim that he was blocking road safety reform for electoral reasons.

The machete-wielding maniac who was gunned down as he tried to hack a TSA worker to death has died in hospital. Richard White, 63, charged at Carol Richel at a security checkpoint inside New Orleans airport Friday evening - but was stopped in his tracks by a female cop. He was carrying a sack of six Molotov cocktails during the attack, but was not able to detonate them. Lt Heather Slyve, of the Jefferson Parish sheriff's department, shot White in the chest, the thigh and the face as he lunged at Richel. He was rushed to hospital Friday evening and went into surgery, but died of his wounds around 4pm Saturday, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

'The man was within inches of whacking me with the machete and she did save my life, and saved probably a lot of others.'

This can occur through head injury, stroke, meningitis and genetic conditions, or birth trauma \u2013 which is rare, but perhaps was a factor in Echo\u2019s case. Noah and his sister came from a large family of eight children including, remarkably, three sets of twins.

A car dealer got into a row with his wife when he promised to take her out for a meal if she went to a football match with him - then drove her to a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. Richard Burbage, 41, of Whiteley, Hampshire, then tried to fight an expert in martial arts who attempted to break up the argument. The father-of-three was convicted of assault and fined \u00a3320 for attacking Julian Raffle. Burbage had been arguing with his wife, Lorraine, in KFC after they had been to a football match on a Sunday afternoon. The row erupted because Burbage told his wife he would take her out for a meal in exchange for coming to the match with him. But when she discovered the meal meant being taken to KFC in Hedge End, Hampshire, the couple began arguing. Dan O\u2019Neill, prosecuting, told magistrates that customers at the eatery became disturbed by the row. He added that customer Mr Raffle then tried to calm the couple down and intervened. Mr O\u2019Neil said there was then a struggle between Mr Raffle and Burbage - and the car dealer twice tried to punch him. But what he did not realise was that Mr Raffle is an expert in the martial art of jiu-jitsu and when Burbage tried to upper cut Mr Raffle, he used his self-defence training to dodge the blows. When the wife discovered she was going to KFC (above) in Hedge End, Hampshire, the couple began arguing . Burbage was then arrested and charged with common assault.

A lecturer and his wife have been sacked from a struggling university after being accused of leaking embarrassing stories about its controversial \u00a3200,000-a-year vice-chancellor to the Press, it emerged yesterday. Damien and Jenny Markey were summarily dismissed by the University of Bolton after articles in the Daily Mail highlighted how the institution spends public money, a union said. The couple, who have three young children, deny being the source of stories revealing that the university was lending vice-chancellor Professor George Holmes \u00a3960,000 to buy a new house and spending up to \u00a3100,000 on staff away days to the Lake District. Critics had branded the expenditure a waste of money from an institution which has spent much of the 11 years since it became a university near the foot of national league tables. The latest case demonstrates how harshly public bodies treat those even suspected of being whistleblowers, let alone those who are proven to have leaked information to the media. It comes amid mounting alarm that staff in all organisations are not being protected from punishment if they report their concerns to the Press. The sackings were also branded a worrying blow against the tradition of free speech on campuses. Mr Markey, 42, was dismissed as a senior lecturer in visual effects for film and television after a 45-minute disciplinary hearing last Friday for \u2018leaking information to the Press aimed at damaging the university\u2019. According to his union he was told he had been overheard talking on his mobile phone using the words \u2018boats\u2019 and \u2018lakes\u2019, and accused of being the source of the story that the university was sending its 700 staff to a Lake District hotel in a series of away days for pep talks by Professor Holmes, who has a yacht moored nearby. The article first appeared in Times Higher Education, which yesterday said neither Mr Markey nor his wife were the source. Details of the trips had been sent to all staff, while the two-year loan to Professor Holmes appeared in university accounts. The struggling university paid up to \u00a3100,000 to send all 700 of its staff for stays at four-star Lakeside Hotel and Spa (pictured) in the Lake District . Mr Markey was also accused of making malicious statements about colleagues and bringing the university into disrepute for highlighting concerns about a shortage of equipment following an \u00a3800,000 flagship project, the union said. His 36-year-old wife, an academic administrator in the health and community studies department, was dismissed on Monday over similar allegations which she also denies. The couple have denied revealing that the university lent vice-chancellor Professor George Holmes (pictured) \u00a3960,000 to buy a new house . Mr Markey, who is said to have had an unblemished disciplinary record, was secretary of the local branch of the University and College Union (UCU) and led a walkout in 2013 in protest at a planned 1 per cent pay rise.

Bidding to win their first ever knockout match at a World Cup, the Proteas bowlers removed both openers inside the first five overs and never eased up the pressure thereafter. Duminy (3-29) dismissed Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews (19) with the final ball of the 33rd over and returned to send back Nuwan Kulasekara (1) and ODI debutant Tharindu Kaushal (0) with the first two deliveries of the 35th. The ninth World Cup hat-trick left the 1996 champions reeling at 116-8 after the loss four wickets for just two runs in three overs and when Kumar Sangakkara was dismissed soon afterwards, the writing was on the wall. Sangakkara, who had been looking for a fifth successive century, scored a measured 45 from 95 balls but was forced to throw off the shackles as the wickets tumbled around him and holed out to deep third man off paceman Morne Morkel. A heavy shower appeared out of the blue as if to mourn what looks like being the final one-day innings of one of the game's great batsmen and the players came off the pitch for a 23-minute rain break. It only delayed the inevitable, however, and Lasith Malinga (3) was the last man to depart, hammering the ball to David Miller at cover off South Africa's other main spin threat Imran Tahir. Tahir took 4-26, including the wicket of Mahela Jayawardene to leave another retiring Sri Lanka batting great with a tally of four runs in his final innings in the 50-over format. Sri Lanka, who won the toss and chose to bat, were never able to score at a pace that would have put pressure on the South Africans and test their mental resolve. While Sangakkara was at the crease, though, they would have fancied their chances of putting on some kind of tally for their bowlers to defend. Once he departed and the rain cleared, however, the semi-final appointment in Auckland against New Zealand or West Indies next week would now seem to be South Africa's to keep.

Four years before he died in 1998, Enoch Powell did me the honour of asking me to write his biography. I spoke to almost everyone alive who knew him. When he died, I had unique access to a vast collection of private papers, including numerous intimate letters. If there is anyone alive other than Enoch\u2019s widow and daughters who knows more about him than I do, I\u2019d like to meet him. I never detected the slightest whiff of scandal about Powell. His probity in personal and financial matters was rock solid. When on Saturday evening a fellow journalist told me of the allegations made by the Church of England, my first instinct was to laugh: but that soon changed into utter outrage when I realised he was serious. The Church has publicly accused Enoch of being involved in ritual satanic abuse on hearsay, without the slightest evidence. They might as well accuse him of having been a war criminal or an armed robber, for there would be as much truth in either allegation. The appalling slurs are just like those made against 91-year-old Lord Bramall, a D-Day veteran and former chief of defence staff, whose homes in London and North Yorkshire were gratuitously raided by police recently on the back of an unspecified allegation of a sexual nature dating back to the 1970s. It is not just that the bishops who have made these accusations are behaving in a remarkably un-Christian fashion by putting this smear into the public domain. But that they do not appear even to have engaged what passes for their brains, or consciences, before behaving in this grotesque and offensive fashion. Scroll down for video . Their brains should have told them that a man of Enoch\u2019s controversial reputation would never for a moment have got away with the type of behaviour they are alleging he indulged in during the 1980s. The Establishment turned against Enoch in 1968 after the so-called Rivers of Blood speech; it would never have protected him for a second had it detected the slightest whiff of scandal. Their consciences should have told them that to make such an outrageous allegation about an enormously distinguished public figure who cannot defend himself, and which would cause the deepest distress to his family and friends, was the height of mischief and irresponsibility. It is disgraceful and destabilising for clergy to behave in this way, and the Church needs to investigate those responsible for this smear and take action accordingly. These post-Savile accusations bring to mind the hysteria surrounding allegations of satanic abuse in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including notorious cases in Rochdale and the Orkneys that involved social workers and police forcibly removing children from their homes in dawn raids.

'He practiced on those dogs and that's where he got some of those skills at cutting people up.' The judge was referring to remarks made by Durst's younger brother, Douglas, last year when he told an interviewer that Robert had a 'series' of seven Alaskan Malamute dogs, each named Igor, who 'all died mysteriously, of different things, within six months of his owning them.' Durst was charged on Monday in Los Angeles with first-degree murder in the shooting of Susan Berman, the daughter of a prominent Las Vegas mobster. He could face the death penalty under special circumstances that allege he ambushed her and murdered a witness to a crime. On Tuesday, Durst was transferred to a prison wing for the mentally ill in New Orleans while he awaits extradition to LA to face the first-degree murder charge.

The images have been taken using a Victorian photography technique and are part of a project to resurrect the earliest form of the art. Instead of the instant results of Instagram and other digital apps, each picture takes 20 minutes to develop and requires a number of chemicals. Scroll down for video . Turning back the clocks: Andy Martin uses a Victorian camera and a method called tintype photography to create these stunning portraits . The pictures are the work of Andy Martin, who has turned his back on 21st century cameras to practise tintype photography. The method was invented in 1850 and, although initially used for formal studio portraits, it became enormously popular and photographers started offering casual portraiture at events such as fairs and amusement parks. The process works by coating a metal with a chemical called collodion before placing it into a silver nitrate solution, which makes it light sensitive. The plate is then loaded into the camera and the picture is taken. The exposure time can be anything from a second to a couple of minutes, depending on the light conditions. The plate then has to be developed in a solution of iron sulphate and finished with a fixer, which makes the image fully appear. In Victorian times this would have been the deadly poison potassium cyanide, but Mr Martin opts for a less risky sodium thiosulphate. Modern models: Among his 500 portraits is a photo of musician Gruff Rhys (left) from Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals . Resurrecting early art-form: He is currently working on a project using the technique and hopes it will encourage others to have a go . The whole process has to be done in a dark room under a red light. Mr Martin's project started when he was given a worse-for-wear Victorian camera by a friend. It had been sat abandoned in an attic for at least 70 years - the stand had been destroyed by woodworm and the bellows were in tatters. After repairing it he spent a day with Sean Mackenna, a tintype expert who had honed his skills at Civil War re-enactments, learning the technique. He has now taken pictures of about 500 people, using about 1,000 plates and hopes to exhibition them and possibly even make a book. Among the photos featured is Gruff Rhys from Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals and Second World War hero Charles Eagles, who took part in the D-Day landings and was injured by an exploding mine on July 22 1944. Mr Martin, from Sunderland, said: 'It all started about five years ago when I got this camera from a friend whose uncle was having a clear out of his lock-up.

Councillors in Newtown, Connecticut, decided to knock down the large, picturesque house on Yogananda Drive, and tear apart its foundations, to stop it being a 'constant reminder' of Lanza's brutal 2012 massacre. Lanza, 20, gunned down his mother, Nancy, inside the home before moving on to the Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he murdered 20 first-graders and six members of staff. Demolition: Police watch as wrecking machinery finishes work on Yogananda Drive in Newtown, Connecticut, where Adam Lanza began the murderous Sandy Hook rampage by killing his own mother . Before: The 3,100-square-foot home was set in two acres of its own land in the exclusive town. Newtown authorities were given the house by the bank which acquired it, and voted to destroy it . Killer: Lanza, pictured above in two photos from some time before the 2012 killing, spent most of his time inside the house after dropping out of school . The killer spent most of his life at the home, which his parents bought in 1998 before they divorced. In the years leading up to the horrific shooting, Lanza spent increasing amounts of time inside its walls, where he spent hours playing video games, and would communicate with his mother by email. An exhaustive report into Lanza's life by state officials concluded that he was allowed to slip into a 'padded' world, in which he rarely had contact with the outside world - which may have contributed to the killings.

Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped lead India to independence over British rule, was actually an agent for the colonists, a top India judge has claimed.

Kian Musgrove, two, will receive revolutionary treatment for his rare cancer after a mystery benefactor donated \u00a340,000 . Neuroblastoma is the cancer of specialised nerve cells, also known as neural crest cells. It is the second most common childhood tumour. The symptoms range from tiredness to lack of appetite and pain in the bones. Most children who are diagnosed with the condition are younger than five years old. Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and antibody treatment. Almost half of neuroblastoma cases are an aggressive form and, despite very intensive treatment, it has a high chance of returning. It affects around 100 children every year. The 27-year-old, from Newcastle, said: 'I can't believe it. There was a note with the money saying \"good luck to your son\". 'I still can't get my head around it. I keep looking to make sure the money is actually there.' Kian will fly to Michigan for the treatment on March 31. He was first diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma on October 31, 2013, after doctors discovered 27 tumours around his kidneys and in his bones. Despite chemotherapy and numerous operations Kian still had an 80 per cent chance the cancer would return, doctors said. The new trial treatment - called DFMO - aims to prevent the cancer returning by stopping a certain cell that creates the neuroblastoma cell.

And it was a very simple and 'frugal' because the Pope wants to take the time to get to know every prisoner personally, the head of a prison ministry told Vatican Radio. The prison visit formed part of a very busy day for Pope Francis in the Italian city that lies 150 miles south of Rome. Francis began praying at a sanctuary in Pompeii, before holding a string of events which include an outdoor mass and meetings with young people and the sick before heading back to the Vatican this evening. Since his election two years ago, the Argentine pontiff has led a new and welcoming approach to gay and transgender people. When asked whether a gay man could be a priest, he reportedly replied: 'Who am I to judge?' And in late January, he had a private meeting in the Vatican with a Spanish transgender man who wrote to Francs about the rejection he was facing at his home parish. On Holy Thursday next month, he will wash the feet of male and female inmates at a prison near Rome as part of his continued public outreach to detainees.

Police said five men will appear in court 'regarding a police application for football banning orders' A Metropolitan Police statement said the summonses were served today and yesterday. Football banning orders are issued by courts following a conviction for a football-related offence after a complaint by the Crown Prosecution Service or a local police force, the Home Office website says. They can last for between three and 10 years. Breaches of the orders can result in a sentence of up to six months in prison. Footage captured by a bystander before Chelsea drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain appeared to show a man being pushed back on to the platform amid chants of 'We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it'.

I was humiliated in my country. I was humiliated in front of my family, humiliated in front of my mother and father.'

+{"article": "The shocking decline of young English players in the Premier League is revealed by new research published by The Mail on Sunday which shows that the academies of the Premier League\u2019s current 20 clubs have produced just 57 first-team regulars over the past 10 years. In the week in which FA chairman Greg Dyke attempted to persuade Premier League clubs to increase the quota of home-grown players in their squad from eight to twelve, the new figures show that the nation\u2019s elite clubs are producing fewer than three players per club on average over a decade with the league\u2019s biggest clubs having some of the worst records. Chelsea have produced no home-grown first-team regulars since John Terry emerged at the start of the millennium. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City have had less than a handful each. Regular is defined as playing half or more of league games in a season. Scroll down to see a graphic showing how many home-grown first-team regulars your favourite club has had over the past decade . Premier League leaders Chelsea have produced no home-grown first-team regulars since John Terry emerged at the start of the millennium . The issue is becoming a major battleground between FA chairman Greg Dyke, who wants to introduce measures to increase opportunities for home-grown talent, and the Premier League clubs, who don\u2019t want quotas forced upon them. The new research on home-grown regulars produced in the past decade shows that only Southampton and Aston Villa, with seven such players each, and Newcastle, with five, had produced five or more since the start of the 2005-06 season. The Southampton players who meet the criteria are Theo Walcott, Gareth Bale, Adam Lallana, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Ward-Prowse, Calum Chambers and Luke Shaw. Theo Walcott is one of an abundance of players that have made a name for themselves after coming through the ranks at Southampton . Gareth Bale came through the ranks at Southampton before becoming a star at Tottenham Hotspur and La Liga giants Real Madrid . West Ham United duo Mark Noble and Jack Collison came through the ranks at Upton Park, as did defender James Tomkins . Five of them have been capped by England, and Bale, the world\u2019s most expensive footballer, by Wales, while James Ward-Prowse, 20 in November, has 28 England appearances below senior level. But given that Premier League clubs have spent around \u00a3600 million combined on their academies in the last decade alone, or about \u00a33m per club per year on average, the number of players most have produced for their first teams is pitiful. The new research considers how many players the current 20 Premier League clubs have nurtured between the ages of 15-18 who have then gone on to be \u2018regulars\u2019 for that team. Southampton\u2019s academy has produced more players in the decade than the seven mentioned but not who have yet become regulars as defined. On the same basis, Chelsea\u2019s tally is zero, Manchester United\u2019s is just two, in Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley. Liverpool and Arsenal have produced just three each, respectively", "summary": "Premier League\u2019s current 20 clubs have produced just 57 first-team regulars over the past 10 years .

That was perhaps not too unexpected given the team's switch to Honda power units from this term, with the Japanese manufacturer the new kids on the block and a year behind in development of the complicated system compared to Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault. Jenson Button has called for patience from McLaren fans after a tough winter of pre-season testing .

'The team's commitment to development and improvement, in Woking and in Japan, is astonishing, and despite some tricky days in testing we are seeing definitive progress.

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the UK is sending more non-lethal aid to Ukraine . In a written statement to the House of Commons, Mr Fallon said that the UK's gift came in response to a request from Kiev for help with basic equipment, supplies of which have been depleted by months of instability caused by Russian-backed separatists in the east of the country. Mr Fallon said: 'This Government is committed to supporting Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. As a result of their prolonged engagement in this conflict, the Ukrainians face a serious shortage of basic equipment, and have requested help. 'Our proposed gift of non-lethal equipment is designed to prevent further Ukrainian fatalities and casualties and to help improve situational awareness on the ground.' And he added: ' Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and its destabilising activities in eastern Ukraine, including direct military support to the separatists, have demonstrated its disregard for international law. 'The latest ceasefire agreement, reached in Minsk on February 12 and which came into force on February 15, has seen a reduction in violence in the conflict zone. We very much hope it will help end the conflict. 'However, fighting has not ceased in some areas and there continues to be fatalities and casualties amongst the Ukrainian armed forces.' The gift comes after Kiev asks Britain for help with basic equipment.

Ms Ayres said she began trying to capture the ghost's movements on film with her camera phone after people began doubting her story. However she now believes she has angered the spirit after the spooky happenings have become more common. She added: 'The paranormal activity first started in 2009 when I began to hear bangs at night, and then scratches appeared on the wall. 'Since these first encounters I've had nothing but rampant paranormal activity in every house I've lived in, I'm just at the end of my tether.

Ms Ayres said she began recording the incidents (which included a levitating spoon) to convince people of her story, but now fears she may have angered the spirit .

So Italian engineers at Italdesign Giugiaro have teamed up with Audi and Technogym to get car owners to exercise when they\u2019re stuck in traffic. The result is a high-end self-driving electric car with basic gym equipment built into the seats and floor, a fridge for drinks and a Wellness mode. Italdesign Giugiaro has created the world\u2019s first autonomous electric car with gym equipment built into the seats and floor. Two handles are fitted into the rear seats and pop out of their compartment at the press of a button. For lower limbs, two flat boards designed by Technogym have been fitted to the floor . The concept model is called Gea and was presented at Geneva's 85th International Motor Show this week. It is dubbed 'the future of luxury mobility.' It has so-called 'book-type' doors that can be opened remotely and beam a red carpet from the car onto the floor. Two aluminium handles designed by Technogym are fitted into the rear seats. By activating a sensor, the handles pop out of the compartment and can be used for upper body routines. Senzati recently unveiled its luxuriously modified Jet Sprinter van. Its layout and features, such as the colour of the seats, can be customised. It boasts a 6.5ft (two metre) sunroof, luxury bathroom, office, fridge and entertainment system - among other features - depending on the specification. The vehicle was built by Coventry-based Senzati and is based on Mercedes\u2019 Sprinter van, sometimes used by tradesmen.

These can be made to be raised and used for stepping exercises. And a built-in monitor displays a video tutorial of Technogym exercise routines to help the user vary their workouts. There is also room between the seats for a small fridge where drinks can be stored. And at the top to this compartment, a small drawer contains cosmetics and a perfumed pouch for aromatherapy. Elsewhere, when the driver selects Wellness mode dashboard LED lights turn to amber to create a \u2018warmer, more relaxing atmosphere\u2019.

The corporation's commercial arm rakes in an estimated \u00a350million a year from selling the rights to Top Gear overseas, with the show watched in 214 countries around the world. On top of that, BBC Worldwide makes millions more from Top Gear Magazine and live shows in the UK and abroad, as well as sales of DVDs. But all of this could be lost if Clarkson is sacked - an outcome he hinted at during a charity ball last night. The Top Gear star, who is alleged to have hit producer Oisin Tymon during a 'fracas' over a steak dinner, said he wanted to do one more lap of the show's track 'before the 'f****** b******* sack me'.

Top Gear Magazine has a global circulation of 1.7m, bringing in another estimated \u00a37.4million - not including profit from advertising, as well as the costs of producing and shipping the magazine. The motoring programme is also set to make around \u00a37.35million in sales of tickets to its 14 live shows in the UK this year. The conservative estimate is based on 15,000 tickets sold for each show at the cheapest price of \u00a335 each, however with more expensive tickets and VIP packages available, this figure could be far higher. Car manufacturers are also thought to pay to have their cars featured on the stadium tours.

Apart from a brief stint in Bendigo and Perth, the collection has never been seen by any members of the public before and lead curator Edwina Ehrman believes people will be both shocked and intrigued by what's on display. 'The exhibition focuses on how important underwear has been since the 17th century right through to the present day,' Ms Ehrman told Daily Mail Australia. 'It looks at the way women have used underwear and garments to constrict their body. 'For instance when it was desirable to have a slim waist or broaden their hips.' The collection also takes a look at the more practical aspects of underwear, such as hygiene and keeping women warm in the Winter or cool in the Summer. In the 18th century, proprietary was measured by the type of clothes you wore and while this is very much a fashion exhibition, it also delves into the social aspects of underwear and its status in society.

The vast majority of the garments come from the museum's own archives however some garments were borrowed from designers to showcase their work. The exhibition is ordered chronologically. The first section covers the practical side of underwear while the second section looks at how underwear was used to fit the body and seduce men. It looks at corsets, targeting in the 18th century and how women's shapes have changed.

The student is suing the Davis County School District for $674,000 for emotional damage he says he suffered as a result of the affair, which happened when he was 17, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. His former teacher, 35-year-old Brianne Altice, has been charged with 14 felonies - including rape, sodomy and sex abuse - for allegedly having sexual relationships with three different students. 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: A student who says he had sex with his teacher, Brianne Altice, is now suing the school district. Altice is pictured in court last month after her motion to drop one of the charges against her was denied . The student who has brought the lawsuit accused the district of being negligent when it hired Altice and says it is responsible for the damage she inflicted on him. He claims they started a relationship in early 2013 after they flirted during class and texted and ultimately started kissing and having sex. He claims that the school district had reprimanded Altice after seeing photos of her having inappropriate contact with students but she was not fired, the Tribune reported. School district spokesman Chris Williams said he was unaware of the lawsuit. Despite the claims against her, one of her alleged victims has previously testified that the charges against Altice are 'ridiculous' and 'she doesn't deserve to be here'. Locked up: Altice, pictured in court in January, had her bond revoked earlier this year after it emerged she allegedly had sex with a third student while out on bail for having sex with two other students . In trouble: Altice, pictured at a hearing in February 2014, allegedly had sex with the boys from early 2013 . He told the court he had sex with Altice once prior to October 2013 - when she was initially arrested - and then three more times after that in December, while she was out on bail. In August 2014, a second student came forward to say he had also had a physical relationship with the former Davis High English teacher, whose marriage fell apart in the aftermath of the scandal. Altice's attorney has said his client denies any romantic involvement with the three students. 'It is her defense that they did not happen at all,' he wrote in a motion. 'That she never engaged in any inappropriate contact with either of her students.' But prosecutors said the teacher acknowledged to investigators that she had engaged in sex with a 16-year-old boy on two occasions. The teen was allegedly able to accurately describe the layout of Altice's home to detectives as well as tattoos on her body.

Speaking on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the 34-year-old reality star said she was 'desperate' to conceive a sibling for baby North - to the point where she and Kanye were having intercourse multiple times per day. And now, one fertility expert has offered some insight into Kim's struggle, suggesting that the global star's hectic lifestyle may be to blame. Kim Kardashian, who is already mother to one-year-old North West, has said she is 'desperate' to conceive a sibling for her daughter... but one fertility expert says her hectic lifestyle may be to blame . Speaking to new! magazine, Mr Paul Serhal, Medical Director at CRGH, a leading fertility clinic in London, said: 'Kim should reduce her hectic lifestyle in order to increase her chances.' Kim - who has been flying all over the world over fashion month, starring in shoots and tending to the needs of her one-year-old daughter - needs to take a break, says Mr Serhal. 'Flying is a common cause of infertility in high-profile, professional women because it can impact on the regularity of the ovulation cycle. Speaking on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the 34-year-old reality star said she wants to conceive a sibling for baby North - to the point where she and Kanye were having intercourse multiple times per day . 'Ovulation time is critical because women aren\u2019t fertile throughout the whole month. This is another reason IVF could be a good option for Kim. You collect ten or 11 eggs and effectively pack one year of ovulation into one IVF cycle of treatment.' Mr Serhal believes that thanks to her age, Kim, who has already proved she can conceive naturally, would have a very good chance of getting pregnant with IVF. He explains that women in their 30s - like Kim - have a 60 per cent chance of conceiving through IVF. Kim, who has been flying all over the world over fashion month, needs to take a break, says Mr Serhal . On the E! show, Kim was seen lying supine to allow Kanye's sperm to 'marinade' inside her. 'The doctors said I have to lie down for 1- minutes after sex...and I had sex just before you got here,' Kim said as her sisters groaned in disgust. 'Lying flat after sex wont make any difference,' said Mr Serhal. Instead, he suggests that she should maintain a healthy diet, limit alcohol consumption and avoid prolonged exposure to heat to help her chances of falling pregnant with a little brother or sister for baby North.

Jon Will Chambers, 22, has opened up about how an online impostor used his personal photos to talk to at least 20 girls and women over a period of five years .

+{"article": "Esa's Rosetta spacecraft is getting ready for an adventurous pass through the geysers of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Scientists hope to discover more information about the comet\u2019s interior from the jets. And with the comet becoming more active as it approaches the sun, these next few months are providing the best opportunity yet to study the comet - but it is not without risk. Esa is preparing to send its Rosetta spacecraft within nine miles of comet 67P. The probe will be tasked with studying the jets coming from its surface (shown in image). These could reveal what the comet's interior is composed of. And as the comet gets more active, Philae on the surface could wake up . \u2018The comet is getting super exciting,\u2019 said Esa\u2019s Rosetta project scientist Dr Matt Taylor in The Times. \u2018Hundreds of kilos per second of material is flinging off it. We want to a do a fly-by through one of these active regions.\u2019 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. The probe will be brought within nine miles (15km) of the comet, with its path taking it right through 67P\u2019s geysers. These jets are formed when ice on the surface sublimates - or vapourises - and they become more active as the comet approaches the sun. It is getting closer and closer over the next few months, with its point of closest approach taking place in August. As it becomes more active, Rosetta has a fantastic opportunity to sweep through the increasingly large jets and gather data. In so doing, though, the probe can become disorientated. It relies on seeing stars to know where it is, but the jets can obscure its view. This means that, occasionally, the spacecraft has to take evasive actions when it passes through a jet, to get itself into empty space and re-orientate itself relative to the stars. But studying the jets could reveal vital data on how gas and dust flows", "summary": "Esa will send its Rosetta spacecraft within nine miles of comet 67P .

Pictures taken at a press conference yesterday announcing the arrest of Jiwan BK, 20, show him being dragged by police through a crowd in Kathmandu, Nepal, in a semi-conscious state. His arrest comes a month after schoolgirls Sangita Magar, 16, and Sima Basnet, 15, were studying at a school in the capital when a masked attacker barged into the classroom and splashed acid across their faces. WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT . Nepalese plainclothed police carry Jiwan BK after he fainted when paraded before the public in Kathmandu . BK, 20, is accused of throwing acid in the faces of two schoolgirls after one of them rejected his advances . Police claimed he admitted being 'infatuated' with Sangita Magar and wanted to disfigure her . It is feared the suspected revenge attack has left the teenagers scarred for life after they suffered severe chemical burns to their faces, torsos and legs. Horrific photographs taken of the two while they recovered in hospital caused an outcry across the country as they described an 'intense burning' and pouring water on their faces to try and stop their skin from melting. The Baltic Review reported the area's police chief Pushka Karki has now said: 'The attacker will appear in court on Sunday, he did not resist the arrest. 'He claimed that he was infatuated with Sangita, one of the victims, and wanted to disfigure her as an act of revenge after she rejected his romantic advances.' Chameli Magar, Sangita's mother, added that the 'coward' had ruined her daughter's life and she hoped he would either die in jail or hanged. However, Nepalese law states that such attacks are only punished by anywhere between three months to three years in prison - depending on the severity of the disfigurement. BK was a former tenant at the Magar family home and police claimed to have found cuttings of newspaper reports of his attack in his currently-rented room, according to Ekantipur.com.

Hospital beds were taken up on more than 1 million days in the last 12 months - a 19 per cent increase on the year before. The problem - which is caused by delayed discharges - is now costing the NHS an estimated \u00a3287million a year. In January alone, the latest month for which figures are available, discharges from hospital were delayed for a total 103,776 days, according to NHS England records. Bed-blocking has reached record levels as thousands of healthy people fill hospital wards needed for sick patients . It is the first time the figure has risen over 100,000 since records began in 2010. A bed in a hospital costs the NHS a basic \u00a3275 per day with medicines and other care excluded, according to Department of Health figures. And with each delayed discharge lasting an average 28 days in January, the costs quickly mount up. Successive governments have failed to deal with the problem of bed-blocking. But with numbers of bed days lost to the issue having nearly doubled from 55,000 a month in August 2010 to more than 103,000 in January 2015, critics have accused the Coalition of losing grip of the issue. Healthy patients are usually kept in hospital because they have nowhere else to go. At Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge 18 per cent of acute inpatient beds were occupied last November by people whose discharge had been delayed . This is often because councils do not have a space in a care home to take them to, or because a care package has not yet been set up in their own home. Labour yesterday blamed the escalation of the problem on cuts to social care budgets, which have been reduced by \u00a33.5billion since 2010. A leading doctor recently warned that the lack of available council care risked bringing the NHS 'to its knees'. At Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge 18 per cent of acute inpatient beds were occupied last November by people whose discharge had been delayed. Dr Susan Robinson, an A&E consultant at the hospital, said in November: 'If we' re crowded it's because the hospital's crowded, and the hospital's crowded because they can't get patients out. 'The crowded hospital is almost bringing us to our knees.' NHS England statistics show that from February 2014 to January 2015 1,042,434 bed days were lost due to patients being unable to be discharged. For the same period last year 873,415 days were lost. King's Fund chief executive Chris Ham told the Independent on Sunday: 'Many delayed transfers of care are caused by problems accessing other parts of the NHS, such as community and mental health services, while increasing pressures on social care are also a factor.

Kevin Streelman, Derek Ernst, Ryan Moore and Henrik Stenson were also on five under, Ernst having got to eight under at one point with a run of five birdies before dropping three shots in his final five holes. Brendon de Jonge posted a solid round of 69 to take the lead on the second day at the Valspar Championship . De Jonge began on the 10th and dropped a shot on the par-five 14th where he had holed from 126-yards for eagle on Thursday, before a birdie on 18 saw him turn level. Another birdie followed on the first before a bogey on the sixth and two further birdies on the seventh and ninth, with De Jonge admitting the wind was making life difficult. 'It's tricky out there,' he told www.pgatour.com. 'It's one of those golf courses where it's tough enough to get it on the fairway when it's still and when the wind blows it's added difficulty. 'It's difficult to pick it out there. It gets in these tress and swirls around so you've got to try and stay patient as best you can.' Spieth registered seven birdies and three bogeys on his way round, while Stenson opened with an eagle but could not maintain his momentum as he signed for a 70. Jordan Spieth shot the lowest round of the day, a 67, in difficult conditions, to sit in joint second place . Ian Poulter was then in the group at four under alongside Ricky Barnes, Lucas Glover and Sean O'Hair. Poulter started on the back nine and got himself to six under at the turn with birdies on 12,14 and 18 before back-to-back bogeys at five and six saw him slip back into the pack. But the Englishman is feeling confident for the weekend and believes the layout at Copperhead suits his game. 'Solid play,' he told Sky Sports 4. 'This golf course is a good golf course for me - it's short, it's tricky. It's not about hitting driver off every tee - it's about positional play.' He added: 'It's about putting it in to play to set up your second shot. The greens are small but undulating.

A couple from Brookfield, Wisconsin, has been accused of locking their autistic 13-year-old daughter in the basement of this house, forcing her to wear a diaper and sending her to school covered in feces . Police were alerted when an anonymous caller said the youngster was 'being treated like an animal'. Prosecutors say the child has low-level autism and some cognitive disabilities, and was forced into the basement every day after school. There she would be made to put on an adult onesie and a pull-up diaper,Fox 6 reported. In the morning she would then get on the school bus. The girl's mother and stepfather, who have not been identified, are charged with child neglect. When police removed the girl from their home in Brookfield, just west of Milwaukee, the temperature in her basement bedroom was around 50 degrees.

Come Sunday, he sincerely hopes the national side will not put viewers through a similar experience when Gibraltar come calling. Gordon, then sidelined by a fractured arm, accepted the offer to turn pundit for the evening as Liechtenstein visited Glasgow for a Euro 2012 qualifier in September 2010. Craig Gordon hopes Scotland will not put fans through the tense evening against Gibralta . It was a decision he began to regret as Craig Levein\u2019s side entered injury-time facing utter humiliation with a 1-1 scoreline. Only thanks to a 97th-minute header from Stephen McManus was Gordon spared the most awkward possible piece of post-match analysis. \u2018I was in a television studio the night of the Liechtenstein game,\u2019 he recalled. \u2018That was a different life I had back then. \u2018Towards the end I was sitting there worried what I was going to say at full-time to defend the rest of the boys. Gordon can expect a quiet evening on Sunday when Scotland face minnows Gibralta . \u2018So thankfully we managed to grind it out because I don\u2019t know what I would have said if we\u2019d drawn that one. \u2018When Stephen McManus scored I jumped out of my seat in the studio because it was hugely important to get that win. \u2018That night is a reminder of what can happen in any game of football. It can be difficult and at this level you don\u2019t want to lose a goal to give yourself an uphill task. \u2018If you do that it can get edgy so we\u2019re well aware of the need for a fast start on Sunday and a good tempo so we can take care of things. \u2018These are the games we have to win and historically it hasn\u2019t been that easy for us. \u2018Getting the win is what we have to focus on first and foremost.

However, with David Marshall having served as Gordon Strachan\u2019s more regular No 1, he has no idea whether he will form what should be an untroubled last line of defence against Gibraltar. \u2018It was great to stand out there and sing the national anthem again,\u2019 said Gordon. \u2018You\u2019d always prefer to play the first half rather than the second. \u2018It was just good to get back out there, though. It was enjoyable and both keepers got a clean sheet. \u2018I don\u2019t know what will happen on Sunday \u2014 the manager will decide that. \u2018He told us about the Northern Ireland game on Wednesday morning and I\u2019m sure it will be the same again at", "summary": "Craig Gordon watched Scotland struggle to beat Liechtenstein in 2010 .

Hitch, is being touted as the Tinder for matchmakers, as it lets people set up two Facebook friends. Named after the Will Smith film about a romantic guru who helps singles find love, the idea for the app was inspired after founder Anton Gu met a mutual friend one night but felt too bashful to ask his chums for her number. Scroll down for video . Dating app Hitch can be used whether you're single or in a relationship: users can set up two of their Facebook friends and introduce them with a personal message . Potential matchmakers just need to log into Facebook and select two friends they want to introduce and send them a message saying why they'd be a good match. Although singles are set up with each other anonymously initially, matchmakers can see how many messages the pair have exchanged once they've chosen to reveal their identities. The idea for the app all stemmed from a thwarted encounter. Founder Anton, from London, said: 'In February last year I went to a gig with a group of friends. There was a girl in the group that I hadn\u2019t met before who was a friend of a friend. 'She didn\u2019t stay for very long and left, so I didn\u2019t get a chance to talk to her.

Hitch founder Anton Gu says the idea behind the app was simple: 'I was single. I made an app.' And it's not only been a professional success for Anton, but a romantic one too . To create a hitch, you log in through Facebook and select two friends you want to introduce. The pair do not need to have the app installed to be selected - you can invite them later. 'I checked online and there was no app that I could use to get an introduction. So we made it.' And since that night, he's used his creation to improve his own love life. He said: 'By the time the app was out, that girl from the gig was dating someone. But my friend introduced me to someone else. She is incredible and we are dating now.' Hitch is available in 50 countries and around 2,000 hitches are made in the UK each month. Anton said: 'We grew very quickly in India. Matchmaking is popular in their culture, people understand the concept straight away and tell their friends about it. There is also huge potential in markets where online dating is difficult.'

Attempting to rebuild their systems from the ground up has proven time consuming and difficult, and in the end too big a hurdle to overcome, leaving them now to focus on the next race in Malaysia. Lewis Hamilton will start tomorrow's race from pole after qualifying at the front of the pack . The FIA, however, appear far from impressed as a team representative has met with the race stewards, providing 'a written statement explaining why the team did not participate in qualifying... after receiving a letter from the FIA on the 20th February'. No details have yet emerged as to the contents of the letter referred to by the FIA, or whether the team face any potential sanction. Team principal John Booth, explaining Manor's position prior to the request from the stewards, said: 'We always expected things to be this difficult. We knew there was only a slim chance of making qualifying when we set off. 'These modern Formula One cars are incredibly complex things, and we have had three weeks to design and build the car in accordance with the 2015 regulations. 'We've had no time to fix the racks and electronics, and get all the infrastructure built that was required.'", "summary": "Manor have failed to make it out on track at Melbourne over the weekend .

Coin collector Stephen Creswell snapped up what he thinks is a half shekel from Tyre - which dates back to 126BC - at an auction in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire. The coins are believed by Biblical scholars to have been the same as those used to pay Judas Iscariot his 30 pieces of silver for betraying Jesus. Lost treasure? The coin found by Stephen Creswell, 22, which he believes to be half a shekel from Tyre . Collector: Mr Creswell, pictured, bought the coin for just \u00a329 at an auction in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire . But one expert claims the coin is unlikely to be an original and believes Mr Cresswell might have a 'mock up'. The battered coin weighs 7.7grams, half of a full shekel's weight. The earliest reference of the coin comes in 126BC and it is understood that they remained in circulation. Shekels were used for temple tax in ancient Jerusalem due to their relatively higher concentration of silver than other Roman coins. In Matthew 27:3 it is said: 'Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders...' In some translations of the bible, the word 'silver' is replaced with 'shekels'. Mr Creswell, from Dudley, West Midlands said that he bought the coin as part of a selection but quickly realised he had 'something special'. He said: 'As soon as I saw how old it was I knew I had something special on my hands. I had no idea what it was though until I typed it in to the search engine. 'I'm not really a coin collector, but I just love to grab a bargain.' But after looking at images of the coin, one expert said he does not believe it to be a shekel as Mr Cresswell had hoped. Payment: The coins are believed by Biblical scholars to have been the same as those used to pay Judas Iscariot his 30 pieces of silver for betraying Jesus, illustrated in this image above . Professional numismatist Mike Vosper told MailOnline: 'I can confirm that this is not even a coin but either a contemporary forgery, although this is doubtful, or more like a modern mock up of a \"coin\" believed to be some kind of shekel.' Mr Vosper, who runs Mike R Vosper Coins with his partner Viv, said it was the fabric of the coin and the fact that it has half its surface missing that gives it away. Viv added: 'Some coins have surface deposits but nothing like that'. Mr Vosper added that coins such as that is not likely to be found in the UK. The coin, if real, could fetch up to \u00a3500 if it was to be sold. Mr Creswell has no intention of selling it on as it reminds me of playing with artifacts when he was younger.

+{"article": "The first treatment specifically designed to treat migraines has been developed - a breakthrough experts say is of 'ground-breaking' importance. The new injection gives hope to the hundreds of thousands of people who suffer chronic migraines - the most debilitating type of headaches. The jab is made from monoclonal blood protein compounds. These are are antibodies - proteins produced by the body to fight injection - specifically engineered to fight the chemical that causes migraines. The protein compounds are able to 'mop up' another protein called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which triggers the pain, nausea and vomiting associated with a migraine. A new injection to prevent migraines has been developed for the first time, in a breakthrough experts are calling 'ground-breaking' In trials of 172 sufferers, scientists found the jab brought 'significant reduction' in the numbers of hours and days chronic migraine patients suffered headaches. The International Headache Society defines chronic migraine as more than 15 headache days per month over a three-month period - more than eight migrainous \u2013 if it has been ruled out that the headaches are caused by an overuse of medication. A migraine is severe recurring headache, usually affecting only one side of the head, characterised by sharp pain and often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), up to four per cent of the world's adult population have headaches on 15 or more days every month. It has identified chronic migraine as more disabling than blindness, paraplegia angina or rheumatoid arthritis. It has also categorised migraine at the same level of disability as dementia, quadriplegia and acute psychosis. And people with migraines or severe headaches are three times as likely to become depressed than healthy individuals, the WHO warns. This can lead to sufferers often becoming depressed and unable to cope, says the charity The Migraine Trust. While internal or outside influences can bring on a migraine, the mechanism by which one is triggered is understood. A combination of reactions occur that results in a chemical called the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) being produced and released. CGRP causes the swelling of blood vessels that are intertwined with nerve endings of the trigeminal nerve, which is located on both sides of the head. This leads to a painful headache, sometimes with aura \u2013 meaning the person experiences visual disturbances, dizziness and vertigo \u2013 as well as nausea and vomiting. Researchers found monoclonal blood proteins \u2013 antibodies specifically engineered to bind to CGRP \u2013 were able to 'mop up' the chemical, meaning it did not trigger a migraine. Peter Goadsby, director of the NIHR-Wellcome Trust King's clinical research facility, London, and a trustee of The Migraine Trust, told MailOnline this was a 'landmark' breakthrough. He said: 'This announcement is of ground-breaking importance, as it represents the first potential, specific treatment for chronic migraine ever developed. The injection, which is made from proteins called monoclonal blood proteins, is able to 'mop up' another chemical which triggers migraines when it is released in the brain .

An evil mother tortured her children to make up sickening allegations about a satanic cult based at a primary school in the midst of a seething child contact dispute, a High Court judge ruled yesterday. Ella Draper and her partner Abraham Christie forced her two children to lie about sexual abuse and ritual torture in Hampstead, North London, Mrs Justice Pauffley said.

The \u2018grotesque\u2019 claims against \u2018blameless\u2019 people included drugged babies being sent from abroad by courier services such as TNT and DHL to London and then sacrificed. Cult members were said to have drunk their victims\u2019 blood and danced around with the babies\u2019 skulls. At least seven other schools were named, a swimming pool identified as a meeting place and \u2018rituals\u2019 were alleged to have been performed at a McDonald\u2019s fast food restaurant. The children\u2019s father Ricky Dearman, whose three-year relationship with Draper ended acrimoniously in 2006, was falsely said to be the leader of the cult, and teachers, police and a priest to be among its more than 100 members. The judge said: \u2018Many of those individuals are now living in fear because they have been identified on the internet as abusers of children and their contact details including telephone numbers, home and email addresses have been published. \u2018Several of those implicated have received malicious, intimidating phone calls and emails at all hours of the day and night from all over the world.

In a statement on the church website, Bishop David Kendall said the Reverend Phyllis Sortor was released Friday evening, Nigeria time, 'into the care of authorities and Free Methodist Church leaders'. Armed men abducted her on February 23 from the Hope Academy compound in Emiworo, Kogi state. Scroll down for video . Phyllis Sortor, 71, was abducted on February 23 from a Christian school in Nigeria. She was released on Friday and is safe . Masked gunman raided a Christian school and fired sporadically to scare people away before taking Sortor hostage . 'We are deeply grateful to all who prayed for Phyllis' safe return and praise God the family representative was able to secure her release,' Kendall said in his statement. He provided no details about how the release was arranged. 'As a matter of sound policy, and to help protect the many, many people who helped secure Phyllis' freedom, we will have no comment concerning the efforts that were undertaken to secure her release,' the bishop said. Kogi State police said shortly after the abduction that the men who took Sortor had demanded a ransom of nearly $300,000. Police said they were collaborating with security forces to secure her return. Friends described Sortor as courageous, tenacious and passionate about helping the people of Nigeria and said she was aware of the dangers. Sortor has been working as a missionary for ten years. Her friends say she was passionate about helping people in Nigeria and aware of the dangers of working there . She had spent years living in Africa, including Mozambique - where she spent much of her childhood - later working in Rwanda and, since 2005, Nigeria, Kendall said . Her work in Kogi was focused primarily on educational development and conflict resolution between nomadic herdsmen and farming communities who frequently clash in central Nigeria's Middle Belt region, the church statement further said. Foreign nationals have often been kidnapped in Nigeria by local gangs who typically release hostages following a ransom payment. Such abductions are especially common in the southern, oil-producing Niger Delta, where expatriates working with large oil companies have been a frequent target. A number of foreigners have also been kidnapped in the north of the country, but those attacks claimed by Boko Haram or the associated Islamist group Ansaru are considered a different phenomenon, and not necessarily motivated by a desire for ransom. Boko Haram has been blamed for previous attacks in Kogi, including two raids targeting the same prison in 2012 and 2014. Nigeria's Islamists groups have in the past publicly claimed the abduction of expatriates and the lack of such a claim following Sortor's kidnapping led many to believe that Boko Haram and its affiliates were not involved.", "summary": "Masked gunman raided a Christian school and fired sporadically to scare people away before taking Phyllis Sortor hostage on February 23 .

The fossil is thought to belong to either Homo rudolfensis or Homo habilis, two species of human ancestor that evolved in Africa. The 1.9 million year old femur and pelvis above are thought to belong to Homo habilis or Homo rudolfensis . While scientists have long studied the different skull shapes and facial features of these species, they are now turning their attention to their bodies.

Their hip joints, however, were very similar to modern humans - unlike in chimpanzees where the hip is much flatter and higher than in humans.

Professor Carol Ward, a pathologist at the University of Missouri's school of medicine who studied the remains, said: 'What these new fossils are telling us is that the early species of our genus, Homo, were more distinctive than we thought. 'They differed not only in their faces and jaws, but in the rest of their bodies too.

Or should I say learn from them, since most of the research that is emerging about gay relationships suggests they can teach us straights more than a thing or two! It\u2019s not easy being gay and being different to the norm. But turns out there\u2019s a huge pay off for having to fight for the right to love who you want without judgement. Gay relationships appear to work better than straight relationships in lots of key ways. Gay relationships work better than straight relationships in lots of key ways, says Tracey Cox . Here\u2019s what we can learn from same sex couples: . 1. They\u2019re not hung up on male or female stereotypes of who should do what in a relationship. Couples in same sex relationships don\u2019t just slot into what\u2019s expected. They divide up the chores and roles in their relationship on who is best at them, rather than \u2018that\u2019s the man\u2019s job\u2019 or \u2018woman\u2019s job\u2019. The result is they work better as a team - and there\u2019s less resentment over silly, sexist things like secretly thinking \u2018He should be earning more than me\u2019 or \u2018She should be the one emptying the dishwasher\u2019. 2. They fight fair . US relationships guru John Gottman, one of the world\u2019s foremost experts on relationships, says same sex couples are far kinder and nicer to each other during arguments than straights are. They don\u2019t personally attack each other, they\u2019re more positive, less domineering and belligerent. Same sex couples also laugh more during a row - which is the best way to remind you both that you actually like each other, even if you don\u2019t like what one of you did or didn\u2019t do! Gottman found gay men and women were also more affectionate, listened more and were less defensive in arguments. The sexpert says it\u2019s not easy being gay and being different to the norm, but that there\u2019s a huge pay off for having to fight for the right to love who you want without judgement . Why are they so much better at it than heterosexuals? One reason is that power is equal. There\u2019s less bullying and less blaming of problems on gender because you don\u2019t have set expectations of each other\u2019s roles. In society, women are expected to be the pacifiers and men the \u2018fixers\u2019. But sometimes it\u2019s women who are good at coming up with practical solutions and men who are good at soothing. Same sex couples tend to let whoever is best at something take over. 3. They\u2019re more experimental sexually . Male/female sex falls into a set pattern from a very early age. Usually, the guy initiates, there\u2019s foreplay (generally more for her than him) and intercourse is very much the main event.

At the same time, the proportion of people who are under 16 is also projected to fall, putting added pressure on the state to support growing numbers of elderly people. Campaigners seized on the report to call for urgent action to improve care for the elderly and support them to stay in work for longer. Scroll down for interactive map . A new interactive map from the Office for National Statistics reveals how in some areas almost 10 per cent of people will be over 85 by 2037 . The Office for National Statistics today released an interactive map showing how populations will age in different parts of the country. By 2037, almost 10 per cent of people in West Dorset, North Norfolk, East Devon and East Dorset will be over 85. At the same time, the proportion of children under the age of 16 in these areas will fall below 14 per cent. Nationwide, at present 2.5 per cent of people are over 85, but by 2037 this is forecast to double to 5 per cent. Among under-16s the figure will fall from almost 19 per cent to 17.7 per cent. The proportion of people aged 85 in the UK as a whole will double from 2.5 per cent now to 5 per cent within 20 years, while the proportion of under-16s is falling .

By contrast, in Oxford the average by 2037 will be 31.5 years. Janet Morrison, chief executive of the charity Independent Age, said: 'This surge in longevity should be celebrated and is testament to the huge strides we have made, particularly in medical care over the last half century. 'But to prepare for it, as a society we need to take measures such as continuing to improve our health and social care systems, helping older people stay in the workplace for longer and tackling the risks of loneliness and isolation in older age. 'Otherwise we run the risk of squandering the rich potential of our ageing society.' Minister for Pensions Steve Webb said: 'These figures really bring home how important it is to plan ahead for retirement. Many millions of us will be spending around a third of our lives or more in retirement in the future.

And something surprisingly blue, in the hue of Northern Ireland\u2019s jerseys. Thankfully for Scotland, there was no off-colour outcome. A win is a win. Even when it comes after the typical drudgery that international friendlies can bring. Let\u2019s just say that no-one who sat through this 90 minutes will be feverishly petitioning for the return of the Home Internationals. Matt Ritchie made his first appearance for Scotland against Northern Ireland on Wednesday night . Not that there weren\u2019t points of interest prior to Christophe Berra\u2019s late winner. At least three featured in Gordon Strachan\u2019s starting selection. A debut for Matt Ritchie was the headline act. A supporting cast of talking points came via Craig Gordon\u2019s return in goal and Darren Fletcher being given the nod as captain. In a squad that has a settled core of certainties, Strachan\u2019 s aims are all about fine tuning ahead of the remaining Euro 2016 qualifiers. Ritchie\u2019s admission that he had never actually set foot north of the border caught the attention when he was called up last week. Yet there was also no mistaking the pride felt by the Hampshire-born Bournemouth winger, who qualifies for Scotland through his father Alex - originally from Edinburgh. An instant first cap deepened the family delight. The 25-year-old has been an integral part of his club\u2019s highly promising bid for promotion to the land of milk and honey that is the Barclays Premier League. We will have to wait a bit longer for an accurate assessment of his worth as an international, but this was far from the worst start. He already has an assist to his name after plonking the match-winning corner onto Berra\u2019s head. Ritchie operates on the right but is almost all left foot. That quality was seen early on when he dropped anchor to deceive Daniel Lafferty and fired a curling delivery deep beyond the back post. It was tailor-made for Shaun Maloney, hardly noted for his aerial prowess, but his header back across came to nothing. Bournemouth winger Ritchie qualified for Scotland through his father Alex . The former Swindon man has 11 goals for Bournemouth this season and offered a glimpse of that direct threat just after the hour mark.

+{"article": "The police force that guards the desert state of Utah will soon ask for volunteers from among its members for a particularly macabre duty. Five-man firing squads are to be formed and trained in preparation for a move that critics say risks dragging America back to a 'more barbaric past'. Facing a crisis in the lethal injection system by which most Death Row inmates are normally executed, Utah's leaders have just approved a solution that harks back to the violent spirit of its Wild West past. Pictured is the Utah firing squad execution chamber, where death row inmates are strapped into the seat in front of a wooden board to stop bullets, and beside sandbags that absorb blood splatters . The state has become the first to bring back the firing squad. Gary Herbert, Utah's Republican governor, conceded that he found the concept 'a little bit gruesome', but stressed that it would be used only if injection drugs are not available 30 days before a scheduled execution. Yet such a scenario looks increasingly likely. Thirty-two states still have the death penalty, and America's Death Rows are clogged with more than 3,000 condemned prisoners because of a string of botched lethal injections. These have allowed lawyers to halt the scheduling of supposedly painless executions on the grounds that they breach a constitutional ban on 'cruel and unusual' punishment. To make matters worse, supplies of the sedatives used are drying up. Many of the most effective drugs are made only in Europe, but the EU has told manufacturers they cannot sell them if they are to be used for lethal injections. U.S. drug manufacturers have already stopped making them, worried about being associated with executions as a growing proportion of Americans come out against the death penalty. The result? In 2014, 35 people were executed in the U.S. \u2014 the fewest since 1994. Last July, appalled witnesses described how convicted Arizona double murderer Joseph Wood lay gulping and gasping like a landed fish for two hours as a cocktail of drugs failed to do their job of sedating him and then stopping his heart. Now, with Utah's dramatic announcement, opponents of capital punishment are questioning whether even Wood's fate is less barbaric than a squad of shooters blasting away at someone tied to a chair. Witnesses described how double murderer Joseph Wood (pictured) lay gulping and gasping for two hours when a cocktail of drugs failed to sedate him . Although a firing squad may sound like a long-gone relic of frontier justice, the largely Mormon state of Utah did use one five years ago. In 2010, Ronnie Lee Gardner, a convicted murderer who had killed a lawyer during a court escape attempt, threatened to sue Utah if it didn't allow him to be shot. The state had stopped offering Death Row inmates the option of a firing squad in 2004 \u2014 but because Gardner had been convicted before the law was changed, he was still able to choose it.

To solve the problem Ford has introduced a setting in its latest car model to stop drivers accidentally exceeding speed limits. The built-in device, called the Intelligent Speed Limiter, automatically detects road signs and cameras and slows the car down where necessary. Scroll down for video . Ford has introduced a built-in device called the Intelligent Speed Limiter to its new S-Max model, which automatically detects road signs and cameras and slows the car down where necessary. This image shows the system display on the dashboard, where the maximum speed is set at 50mph (80km/h) It does this by using a windscreen-mounted camera to monitor road signs and when the speed limit is lower than that maximum set speed. Drivers have to manually set a maximum speed using controls on the steering wheel, so they might choose 70mph (113km/h) for a motorway, for example. As speed limit rises, from small roads to highways, the system allows the driver to accelerate up to the set speed, providing it does not exceed the new speed limit, or the maximum limit set by the driver. The speed limiter is essentially a variation of a cruise control setting and allows the driver to set a maximum speed for the car. The system, in the S-Max car (pictured) is essentially a variation of a cruise control setting and allows the driver to set a maximum speed for the car . If the on board technology detects a lower speed limit is in place, on a motorway for example, then it slows the car down to that speed (illustrated) and then increases it if and when the limit goes up again . The Intelligent Speed Limiter can be controlled via controls on the steering wheel. Drivers manually set a maximum speed. The maximum speed is automatically adjusted from the traffic sign recognition system. This uses cameras to read road signs and restrictions that are taken on-board by the instrument. Cars with a built-in GPS can also use map data to support the system, particularly on roads where there are few speed signs. The system controls speed using engine torque, electronically adjusting the amount of fuel delivered, rather than applying the brakes. If the vehicle accelerates past its maximum speed limit on a hill, an alarm sounds so the driver can take action. If the on board technology detects a lower speed limit is in place - on a motorway for example - then it slows the car down to that speed and then increases it if and when the limit goes up again. The Intelligent Speed Limiter communicates with an on-board navigation system to glean extra data in order to help it accurately maintain the appropriate maximum speed when distances between speed limit signs are greater, for example on long country roads.

Adam Mark Smith, 37, who worked for an Arizona-based medical device manufacturer, was shamed after the 2012 YouTube video was posted showing him berating employee Rachel Elizabeth. The video which expressed his disdain over the firm's anti-gay marriage stance went viral, and left him unemployed and forced to lose his home. Nearly three years later, the married father of four is still searching for a job and his family previously had to give away possessions before he was hired and fired again, according to ABC. Scroll down for video . Adam Smith was the former CFO of an Arizona-based medical device manufacturer, before he was fired after posting a video of himself berating a Chick-fil-A employee for the fast-food chain's anti-gay marriage stance . Three years later from the viral video that shook his life from riches to rags, the married father of four is still searching for a job (Smith above with his family) At the time he was working as CFO for Vante, Smith was earning $200,000 annually and had more than $1million in stock options, but he said it was all taken from him when he was fired. His 2012 firing was reported on the same day as the counter-protest against Chick-fil-A's Appreciation Day as thousands of gay couples flocked to restaurants to kiss during the summer of 2012. Things were looking rough for Smith and his wife, Amy, along with their four sons after they lost their home and moved into an RV. But there was silver lining for him and the chance for a new start when he was offered a new job as a CFO in Portland a few months later. 'I felt like, \"yeah, I got it. I am back'',' he said. However, nearly two weeks later, he was fired once again after his boss realized he was the man from the video. In the 2012 video that went viral, he told Chick-fil-A employee Rachel Elizabeth while at the drive-thru window that he did not know how she lived with herself and worked there . Smith posted a follow-up video apologizing to Elizabeth (above) which she accepted . As the incident continues to haunt him, he said he does not regret the stand he took but he regrets the way he spoke to Elizabeth.

+{"article": "Most infections are caused by bacteria on the patient's skin entering the surgical wound . Scientists in the U.S. have devised an implant in a tiny silk 'purse' that kills infections after surgery and then dissolves in the body. Up to four in 100 people undergoing surgery in the UK will develop an infection, and this can prolong hospital stays by as much as nine days. Surgical wound infections are the leading cause of hospital readmissions after operations, according to a study published last month. Most infections are caused by bacteria on the patient's skin entering the surgical wound. The most common culprits are Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, responsible for 20 per cent of surgical site infections, coagulase negative staphylococcus, and enterococcus bacteria. The infection can usually be treated with antibiotics but sometimes patients need more complex treatment, including further surgery. The new implant uses heat to kill off bacteria. It consists of a tiny, magnesium coil wrapped in a pocket of silk protein, and is implanted during surgery - if the patient later shows sign of infection, the implant can be switched on using a remote control. This raises the temperature of the coil. The silk protein protects the coil - both harmlessly dissolve in the body over the next fortnight. This is an improvement on previous medical implant devices, which are made from non-degradable materials that need to be removed. Researchers at Tufts University have used the implant in mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus, raising its temperature for two periods of ten minutes. Within 24 hours the tissue was infection-free. The device, including the coil, completely dissolved after 15 days. 'This is an important step forward for the development of on-demand medical devices that can be turned on remotely,' the researchers said. 'These wireless strategies could help manage post-surgical infection, for example, or pave the way for eventual \"wi-fi\" drug delivery.' The team has also carried out experiments using remote control to deliver antibiotics to treat E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Stella Vig, consultant vascular and general surgeon at Croydon University Hospital, said: 'This is an exciting new concept and an innovative tool against the war of surgical site infection. This new purse could allow a reduction of bacterial load with an implantable device . The concept of reducing bacterium within the tissues and thereby reducing risk of infections is not new, and was previously achieved by deploying antibiotic beads within the tissues. These required retrieval and therefore are not used routinely. 'This new device would allow a reduction of bacterial load with an implantable device, which then disappears without the need for surgery to remove it. 'Surgical site infections are costly as they increase the length of stay for patients and can lead to further surgery.' Meanwhile, a team at the University of South Florida has developed a new antibiotic to fight the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA, which kills thousands of people worldwide each year. The bug is a form of Staphylococcus aureus which does not respond to the usual antibiotics.

The People's Daily Online reports that eagle-eyed staff are keeping watch over photo-enthusiasts in the palace's narrow or crowded areas, as well as all the indoor exhibitions, to avoid any potentially costly accidents. Ban: The Forbidden City has said selfie sticks are no longer allowed inside the exhibition rooms or narrow passageways over concerns an unfortunate accident may occur . 'Selfie sticks will cause safety concerns, whether for tourists or the exhibits,' Shen Lixia, deputy director of the museum's tourist reception department, told China Daily. 'It may touch the glass exhibition case and cause damage to the cultural relics.' She added that as well as being banned in exhibition areas, the sticks would be banned in outdoor areas of the museum - so visitors would be wise not to bother taking them at all. However, the sticks will still be allowed outside the palace in the Forbidden City - so tourists can still get the all-important shot of the famous 15th century building in the background. There was speculation that the move could be the first step to a total ban, as has been implemented at other cultural attractions around the world. It is thought the Louvre in Paris will bring in a ban in the next few weeks, while several football stadiums have banned them over fears the extendable devices could be used as a weapon. But it seems should the Forbidden City instill a total ban in mobile-mad China - there are said to be 19,300 versions of the selfie stick available on the country's answer to eBay, Taobao - they would have a fair amount of support.

He showed that again as he held off a ferocious challenge from 6ft 10in John Isner to win 7-6, 6-3, 7-6 and push Britain into a July quarter-final against France. Yet he was cautious about whether that could actually lead to GB winning the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936. \u2018To win the event is an extremely difficult thing to do,\u2019 he said. \u2018Even with someone like Federer, such a great player, it\u2019s taken him to have a top five in the world partner (Stan Wawrinka) to help him to do that.

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft, operated by Hainan Airlines, flew around 100 passengers from Shanghai to Beijing. It meant China joined a handful of countries in the world that possess the research and development ability to create its own biofuel production technology, according to the People's Daily Online. Pioneer: Hainan Airlines flew a Boeing 737 like this one using a biofuel made from cooking oil . But the fact that the new fuel was developed from waste cooking oil - which is in all too plentiful supply in China, leading to many problems with blocked drains and sewers - has prompted excitement in the country. Apart from the environmental concerns surrounding the dumping of cooking oil, there is also widespread concern about how much of it ends up on dining tables around the country after unscrupulous dealers remove it from drains and sell it back to retailers. The carrier informed all the passengers before departure that the aircraft would use a new type of fuel. 'The flight was very smooth. I didn't experience anything unusual,' said Pu Ming, Vice President of Hainan Airlines who was also a passenger on the flight. 'I hope the biofuel could be promoted throughout the country.' 'When I was asked on the phone whether or not I would mind flying with a plane using biofuel, I said of course I wouldn't. I'd love to be a lab mouse,' said one passenger named Ms Zhong. 'The successful flight is a landmark and on one hand the low carbon biofuel significantly reduces greenhouse gasses which helps China realise its 2020 carbon dioxide emissions per GDP by 40-50 per cent,' said Lu Dapeng, spokesman of China Sinopec.

Food safety: The illegal recycling of waste cooking oil is a constant headache for the Chinese authorities . Fly greener: The government is seeking to promote greater environmental sustainability . Produced by Sinopec, China's state-owned oil and gas company, this particular biofuel uses restaurant waste cooking oil, often known as the 'gutter oil' in China, as the raw material. The cooking oil is then blended at a one-to-one ratio with ordinary jet fuel to create the finished product. Animal fat is the reason why waste cooking oil can be turned into biofuel. Sinopec has spent the past five years researching and developing biofuel, according to researcher Xu Hui, who also stated that the price of biofuel is two to three times more expensive than normal aviation fuel due to the cost of the raw material. Apart from animal fat-based biofuel, China is also developing sugar-based and starch-based biofuels, whose prices are expected to be 15-80 per cent of normal aviation fuel.

It seems incredible to think Sepang has been hosting the Malaysian Grand Prix since 1999, but it appears one of Herman Tilke's circuit designs has actually become part of the furniture on the F1 calendar.

In the past, race day always threw up a challenge whatever the conditions.

+{"article": "Chelsea continued their attack on Premier League referees after the club's official website published an article complaining that they have not been awarded enough penalties this season. The piece called 'penalty puzzle' analysed how many spot-kicks the Blues have been given in each of the last five years. The argument, that the number is 'abnormally low', echoes manager Jose Mourinho's view that there is a 'campaign' against the club. Chelsea were angered last weekend by referee Mike Dean's refusal to award Branislav Ivanovic a penalty . Referee Dean had some tough calls to make in Chelsea's draw with Southampton but made most correctly . Chelsea have been awarded five penalties in eight Champions League games, including against PSG . The 'penalty puzzle' article leads the way on Chelsea's official website . At Old Trafford in October defenders John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic were denied a spot kick despite being wrestled to the ground. Former Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas was tripped during Chelsea\u2019s game against Southampton at St Mary\u2019s Stadium, but instead he picked up a yellow card for diving. Jose Mourinho\u2019s side appealed for a penalty against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, only for the north London side to get away with handling the ball in their own box. A blocked arm again denied the current Premier League leaders at home to Burnley despite the shot being clearly stopped by a raised arm. Ivanovic was again left perplexed last Sunday at Stamford Bridge when visitors Southampton got away with yet another clear penalty against the Blues. The article, with no byline, comes after Branislav Ivanovic was denied a penalty in last weekend's draw with Southampton, an incident the Chelsea website described as 'a clear spot-kick'. However, general consensus, as outlined by Sportsmail's Graham Poll, was that the contact on Ivanovic, while undoubtedly present, was too slight to spot with the naked eye. The article also notes that Chelsea have received five penalties in just eight Champions League games, which they cite as evidence that the 'campaign' is limited to Premier League officials. Mourinho has been vociferous in his criticism of officials all season, first suggesting there was a campaign against his team in December, before appearing on Sky Sports last month after a challenge by Burnley's Ashley Barnes on Nemanja Matic went unpunished.

The manager would sit above Andy Wilman, Top Gear\u2019s longstanding executive producer, who has known Mr Clarkson since they were children, when they both attended the \u00a310,500-a-term Repton School in Derby. The two men have been inseparable for years, but BBC executives are concerned that Mr Wilman cannot keep Mr Clarkson in check, following a string of scandals. \u2018I think that people do see a way to resolve this, and that is by putting someone strong in to manage the show and manage Clarkson.

According to sources close to the Top Gear host, he is keen to return to the Corporation after he was suspended last week for a \u2018fracas\u2019 with his producer, Oisin Tymon. Mr Clarkson, 54, is said to be furious with the way the BBC has treated him, and is particularly angry that a high level BBC executive compared him to the serial paedophile Jimmy Savile. He has instructed lawyers to demand a retraction and demanded a full investigation into who spread the smear. Both he and Mr Tymon have now given evidence to an internal investigation into their \u2018dust up\u2019, and a verdict is expected within days. Mr Clarkson allegedly split Mr Tymon\u2019s lip with a punch after a long day of filming, when the Top Gear host was offered cold cuts instead of the hot steak he wanted. However, friends of the Top Gear presenter deny that he punched the producer, and claim that tensions flared over the steak because of another problem with Mr Tymon.

There were not many clamouring for the 21-year-old to be in the Spurs starting line-up at the start of the season, never mind the national team. Now, though, Kane is one of the most talked about players in the country as his Roy of the Rovers rise continues apace. Tottenham striker Harry Kane has insisted he is fully focused on helping the club progress this season . Kane rounds QPR goalkeeper Robert Green to score his second goal in a 2-1 win on Sunday at Loftus Road . Kane has now scored 26 goals in 41 appearances for Spurs in all competitions so far this season . Saturday's brace in Spurs' 2-1 win at QPR increased his goal tally to 26 in all competitions - a remarkable haul which is likely to earn a first senior call-up this month. Roy Hodgson could not fail but to be impressed by Kane's latest display, but front man is trying not to think about the potential of facing Lithuania or Italy this month. 'I've always said, I've got to keep doing what I am doing,' he said. 'There are still a few more games until the international break and I want to do the best I can for Tottenham Hotspur. 'That's what I am looking to do. I want to get some more wins from until then and, yeah, we'll see what happens. 'Obviously, I've just got to keep doing what I am doing.

Kane lashes a shot at the QPR goal only for Hoops defender Steven Caulker (left) to get in the way . That determination to continue impressing at club level is certainly helping Spurs get over a disappointing few weeks. The north Londoners' Europa League exit was compounded by defeat to Chelsea in the Capital One Cup final, but they responded impressively with back-to-back victories over Swansea and QPR. 'That is massive,' Kane told Sky Sports. 'That is what we said. 'We had a disappointing couple of weeks, going out of the Europa and obviously losing the final, so we knew we had to get back on it, build a bit of momentum and get as far up in the league as we can. 'We have managed to do that with two very important wins and hopefully we can continue it.'

'Wales are very direct but also they run decoy lines with Roberts coming up, only to throw it out the back and go wide.

The patient is one of almost 200 people in Wiltshire held by the county's police force in the last two years because there was no suitable healthcare provision. Meanwhile across the UK last year, 7,000 people with mental health problems ended up being held in police cells. Of those, 236 children and young people were detained alongside criminals. Mental health experts have branded the practice 'shameful', adding it highlights the fact there are not enough suitable crisis beds across the country. A mental health patient in Wiltshire was held in a police cell for almost two days because there were no suitable mental health hospital beds available (file picture posed by model) A Freedom of Information request, submitted by the Swindon Advertiser, reveals the longest holding period in the last two years was 37.5 hours, while a 16-year-old was detained for eight consecutive hours. Ninety-four people were detained in Swindon and Wiltshire in 2013 and in 2014, the figure was 95. Condemning the practice, which is seen across the country, Mark Winstanley, chief executive of mental health charity, Rethink Mental Illness, told MailOnline the situation must change. 'It's scandalous and shameful that thousands of people with mental health problems, including children, are being locked up in police cells because they can't get the care they need,' he said. 'That has to change, because it's costing lives. 'The real problem is that there simply aren't enough suitable crisis services across the country, and where they do exist, they are badly underfunded and overstretched. 'We need much greater investment in crisis care, so that anyone experiencing mental health problems can get quality emergency support close to home, whenever they need it. 'We also want to see more funding for early intervention services, to help people avoid reaching crisis point in the first place. 'Without this urgent reform and investment, the mental health system will continue to fail people when they are at their most vulnerable.' Dr Peter Carter, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing told MailOnline the practice is just one of the 'detrimental consequences' of severe cuts to mental health services. He said: 'Mental health trusts have had their budgets cut by eight per cent over the last five years, losing 1,500 beds and 3,300 nurses in the process. 'Given these ongoing reductions in funding resources it is no wonder that trusts are struggling to cope. Across the UK last year, 7,000 people with mental health problems ended up being held in police cells, according to mental health charity Rethink Mental Illness . 'Mental health services are under immense pressure, not just in Swindon and Wiltshire, but across the UK.

Ms Revuelta, who first caught the eye of the young revolutionary in 1952, opened her home for Castro to plot a barracks assault the following year that is considered the start of the revolution. They later had an affair that produced a daughter, Alina, 59, who as an adult became a harsh critic of the communist leader from exile in Florida. Natalia Revuelta Clews died at the age of 89 on Friday. The green-eyed socialite (pictured in 2003 standing in front of a painting of her youth) supported the insurgency of Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution . Carmen Garcia, Ms Revuelta's caretaker, told The Associated Press that Ms Revuelta died Friday and had been cremated in a private family ceremony. Ms Revuelta's longtime friend Natalia Bolivar, a renowned anthropologist, said Ms Revuelta had been ill after a fall. She suffered a stroke in 2014, according to El Nuevo Herald. Her family could not be reached for comment. She was 'one of the most exquisitely beautiful women in Cuba and a woman with an abnormally sensuous appetite for revolution and adventure,' Georgie Anne Geyer wrote in her biography of Castro, 'Guerrilla Prince.' Born Dec 6, 1925, 'Naty' Revuelta was an only child whose parents divorced when she was a toddler. Her mother remarried when she was 10, to an executive at the US-owned Havana Electric Company. She attended the American-run Ruston Academy in Havana and Mt St. Joseph's Academy, a Catholic girls' school in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania. She also studied business at Marjorie Webster College in Washington before returning to Cuba at 19, working first for the US Embassy and later for Standard Oil. Ms Revuelta was 22 when she married heart surgeon Orlando Fernandez, nearly 20 years her senior. She gave birth to a daughter, Nina, and became a fixture of Havana's social scene. She belonged to the Havana Country Club, played in weekly bridge and tennis tournaments and often lunched at a yacht club. 'Blonde, green-eyed, buxom and always in exuberant spirits, Naty was the kind of woman who stopped eyes and tongues when she entered a room,' Geyer wrote in 'Guerrilla Prince.'

She later fled the island in 1993 (pictured) with a false Spanish passport . She was also unfulfilled by motherhood.

ED Miliband\u2019s pledge to rein in NHS \u2018privatisation\u2019 by capping profits of firms providing care has come under fierce attack from a former Labour health minister. As Labour made the NHS the central issue of its election campaign launch, Lord Warner accused his party leadership of scaremongering and risking patient care. He said competition between different providers was vital to ensure the NHS can cope with spikes in demand, which occur most winters. \u2018It is very difficult for the NHS to cope with the peaks and troughs of demand without the involvement of the private sector,\u2019 he said. Kicking off his campaign at the site of the 2012 London Olympics in east London, Mr Miliband said the election \u2018may come down to the wire\u2019, though his deputy Harriet Harman insisted Labour was already \u2018within touching distance of victory\u2019. His main policy announcement was that Labour would halt what he called a \u2018tide of privatisation\u2019 in the NHS. Firms brought in to provide free treatment to patients would be hit with a five per cent profit cap, he said. Labour said the cap would apply to all NHS contracts worth \u00a3500,000 or more. Any company that made more than five per cent from the contract would be forced to reimburse the NHS for any returns above the level of the cap. Local NHS commissioners would have the power to allow higher profits in exceptional circumstances, if approved by NHS England or the Health Secretary. The cap would not apply to GPs, pharmacies or dentists. Mr Miliband repeated his pledge to introduce a \u2018mansion tax\u2019 on expensive homes, impose a levy on the tobacco companies and close tax loopholes exploited by hedge funds. The \u00a32.5 billion raised would pay for 20,000 more nurses, 8,000 more doctors, 5,000 new care workers, and 3,000 more midwives, he said. Claiming another five years of Conservative government would mean \u2018the disintegration of our public services\u2019, Mr Miliband added: \u2018We\u2019ll scrap David Cameron\u2019s market framework for the NHS and stop the tide of privatisation. \u2018The NHS will be the preferred provider. No company working with the NHS will be able to profit by cherry picking: rejecting patients with the more complex and expensive needs for their own advantage.\u2018And, for the first time, we will cap the profits that private health companies can make from our National Health Service. \u2018The standard rule will be a five per cent cap. Because the money we pay for our health care should be invested for patient care, not for excess profits for private firms.\u2019 Miliband kicked off his campaign at the site of the 2012 London Olympics in east London . Critics accuse party of hypocrisy, since expenditure on NHS services provided free of charge by private providers has risen at a slower rate since 2010 than in the four years before, when Labour was in power.

The phrase, first used in a Nike advert in 1988, was pitched to the firm by advertising executive Dan Wieden, who admitted that it was borrowed from something a Utah murderer uttered as he faced a firing squad. The condemned man in question was Gary Gilmore, who was sentenced to death in 1977 for robbing and murdering two men in Utah the previous year. Scroll down for video . Nike\u2019s \u2018Just do it\u2019 slogan is undoubtedly a killer line \u2013 and now it\u2019s been revealed that the inspiration for it came from an actual killer .

This week Mr Wieden, co-founder of advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy, repeated the story to Dezeen magazine. He described how he was worried that an upcoming series of five TV adverts lacked cohesion, because they all had a different feel to them. He felt they needed a tagline to tie them all together. His company had been parachuted in by Nike to help them counter-attack rivals Reebok, who had just announced bigger profits.

Chelsea had started the brighter of the two sides and should have perhaps taken an early lead through Issiah Brown, but he could not direct an awkwardly bouncing ball into the net.

The deadlock was broken when Sinclair powered his way into the Chelsea box in the eighth minute and was fouled by Fikayo Tomori, with Wilson scoring the ensuring spot kick. The second goal followed a similar routine - Sinclair's surging pace duped Tomori again and the young striker, dancing along the byline before whipping in from a seemingly impossible angle, was able to add to his already impressive scoring tally for the season.

Mark Savage, 27, targeted aircrafts coming in to land at Southampton Airport but claims he was 'was just mucking around' and 'wasn't thinking'. Twice he aimed the beam at passenger planes, one of which was carrying 28 people - but despite risking lives with his reckless behaviour, Savage, of Hampshire, walked free from court today. Spared jail: Mark Savage said he 'was just mucking around' when he shone a laser pen into the cockpits of passenger planes and was spared a prison sentence after a judge heard how he had mental health problems . Sparing him jail, a judge warned how his actions could have caused a crash and stated he 'could not think of anything more dangerous' to do. Recorder Michael Vere-Hodge QC made the decision after Southampton Crown Court heard how Savage had mental health problems. He shone a beam at a cockpit of a Bombardier Q400 plane on a flight from Jersey that was preparing to land at Southampton Airport just before 9pm on September 9 last year, the court heard . Prosecutor Edward Phillips told the court co-pilot Edward Jarman was reaching a critical point in the landing stage when he saw a light reflecting off the plane's window. Dangerous: Savage aimed the laser beam at several aircrafts including a Flybe plane, which was carrying 28 passengers, forcing the captain to switch off his external lights to land . Mr Phillips said: 'Fortunately the light wasn't in his eyes. He recognised the potential danger but was able to land the plane safely.' A similar Flybe plane behind, captained by Matthew Donnellan, was carrying 28 passengers and three other crew members and was coming in from Paris, France. Mr Phillips said Captain Donnellan had previously suffered temporary blindness and disorientation after a beam had been shone into his eyes so was considerably concerned when he spotted the light from Savage's pen. He made the decision to switch off his external lights, a call he would not usually make, but he considered it less of a risk than being blinded by the laser and was able to land safely. He shone a beam (like the one pictured) at a cockpit of a Bombardier Q400 plane on a flight from Jersey that was preparing to land at Southampton Airport . An image from a previous unrelated incident, in which a laser pen was shone at a helicopter, demonstrates the blinding effect the device can have on pilots . Mr Phillips said the matter was reported to police, who launched the force helicopter and found the source of light was coming from a compound near the Itchen Bridge in Southampton. The pen was discovered under a rock and Savage was arrested and taken to the police station where he admitted being responsible.

In front of over 30,000 at the Riverside Stadium, England came from behind to defeat Germany 3-2 and record a victory against not just old rivals but the pre-tournament favourites in the Czech Republic this summer. Southgate is still expected to do everything he can to include the Tottenham striker, but the win over Germany shows that the Young Lions can go toe-to-toe with the cream of Europe. Here Sportsmail looks at England's three stand-out stars from the win in Middlesbrough. James Ward-Prowse . The Southampton star has already become an established member of the first team at St Mary's and is set to be a key member of Southgate's side in the Czech Republic. The 20-year-old scored the winner with a crisp low effort after ghosting into the penalty box to find space. But his attacking play extends to set-pieces. Germany's Julian Korb reaches out in vain as James Ward-Prowse fires home England's winning goal . The Under 21 captain celebrates his late strike following a fine midfield performance . In Ward-Prowse, England have potentially their best dead-ball specialist since David Beckham with his passing range and accurate shooting already a highlight of his game. Ward-Prowse was captain for the Germany victory and his rapid progress on the south coast in the last two years suggests he is worth keeping an eye on. Carl Jenkinson . Named the official Man of the Match, Jenkinson put in a close to perfect performance - albeit he was slightly at fault for Germany's opening goal after allowing the cross for Philipp Hofmann to fire home. But after a slow start to each half, the West Ham full-back, on loan from Arsenal, imposed himself down the right-hand side. Carl Jenkinson runs the ball out of defence for England as Germany substitute Nico Schulz looks on . Jenkinson put in a Man of the Match display having assisted two of England's three goals . It was the 23-year-old's cross for Jesse Lingard which helped draw the Three Lions level in the first half, while he also provided the pass for Ward-Prowse to tuck home the winning goal. With England's senior team lacking depth in the right-back area, Roy Hodgson could do worse than pick Jenkinson. Because if he doesn't, then Finland will as he can still play for the Scandinavian team. Nathan Redmond . Relished the battle with Germany full-back Christian Gunter, often managing to pull away from his marker to lead an attack down the right wing. Redmond is not all about pace though as he often tried to cut inside to mix up his approach, with his passing in the final third managing to catch the German back four flat on a number of occasions.

The expensive loanee did more harm than good to United's attack. One big positive for the home side though was Rafael. His all-round performance and excellent goal will surely give Louis van Gaal food for thought with regards to the left back slot. Anyway, that's it from our live coverage. Check out Mike Keegan's match report HERE. Thanks for following! That's it, the referee has blown the final whistle and United and Spurs play out a 1-1 draw. Kenny McEvoy scored the opener for Tottenham before Rafael equalised with a brilliant chip in the second half. But despite an attack boasting Radamel Falcao and James Wilson, United couldn't find a winner and Spurs had the best chance of the second half when they hit the bar. Liam Grimshaw heads Pereira's first corner wide via a deflection - a second comes in but it only ends with captain Tom Thorpe fouling the goalkeeper. There will be three minutes of time added on. Andy Kellet's brilliant back-heel sets up Pereira for a cross. His pin-point ball comes to the feet of Harrop but he hesitates in a way that resembled the man he replaced, Falcao. When he finally got the shot off, the effort was blocked and the chance was gone. Still both teams going in search of a winner. Meanwhile, Spurs make a sub. Lesniak is off for Aaron McEneff. Axel Tuanzebe is on as United search for a winner. Off comes Shaquile Coulthirst to be replaced by Daniel Akindiyini. United arguably look better with Falcao off the pitch and James Wilson trusted with a more central role. Rafael's cross from the right just evades the young striker sliding on and shortly after Pereira puts another Rafael delivery over the bar. Falcao is being subbed off! He's been poor in truth and has done more harm than good to United's attacks. Louis van Gaal is unlikely to be impressed and you would think he has no chance of starting at the weekend on this showing. He is replaced by Josh Harrop. Oh, and he awkwardly didn't seem to realise it was him that was being hooked at first, just as he did with the first team against Preston North End.

Google's patent explained its wearable (illustrated) could target any substances or objects that, when present in the blood, may affect the health of a wearer by transmitting energy into the vessels. This could include infrared signals, a radio-frequency or acoustic pulse, or a magnetic field . 'A number of scientific methods have been developed to examine physiological conditions of a person by detecting and measuring one or more analytes [chemicals] in a person's blood,' explained the Nanoparticle Phoresis patent.

A married teaching assistant who got two schoolboys to skip lessons to have sex with her has avoided prison because she had already served time for having affairs with five other pupils. Mother-of-two Emma Webb had sex with the boys at home while her husband was out, and performed a sex act on one of them in an empty maths classroom.

The offer is being made by NHS managers in the West Midlands to avert an expected surge in A&E attendances over the Easter weekend, in early April. Most GP surgeries will be closed for four days in a row from Good Friday, 3rd April, through to Easter Monday, which is also a bank holiday. Many patients who fall ill in this time will go to A&E as they are still unaware of how to contact their out-of-hours service or of the NHS 111 helpline. A&E units are still under intense pressure even though winter is almost over and the numbers of seriously ill patients has declined. Figures for last week showed that the NHS as a whole failed to meet the target of ensuring that 95 per cent of patients were seen within four hours. This has not been met since September but health officials are hoping that the situation will finally improve in April, when the weather turns milder and winter illnesses begin to abate. But they are concerned that a sudden surge in demand when GPs are closed over Easter will cause extra pressures and set hospitals back again.

One of the spelunkers, Hen Zakai, spotted something shining on the cave floor. It turned out to be two ancient silver coins. Alongside the coins, the cave divers found a cloth pouch containing a handful of coins, rings, bracelets and earrings all made from silver and bronze.

In addition to the real riches, the map also features the location of mythical and fictional treasure in books and films.

Their estimated value is $210 million (\u00a3137 million). Another missing treasure is the Amber Room panels, which were originally installed in Charlottenburg Palace.

Father-of-two Cllr Jo Stephenson, 59, who was Lib Dem deputy leader of Cumbria County Council, died in hospital three weeks later from internal injuries. His wife Hilary told the inquest he had been under considerable pressure in the weeks before his death to push through the later-abandoned policy of fresh on-street parking across Cumbria. It was initially thought Mr Stephenson had accidentally fallen from his roof while carrying out some DIY on his Lake Windermere home in July last year. But Kendal Coroner's Court was told after hitting the ground Mr Stephenson dialled 999 - and admitted to the call handler he had thrown himself off on purpose. He then discussed ending his life with the paramedic at his home, as well as with staff at the Royal Preston Hospital, the inquest heard. The former Lakes School teacher was said to have been 'deeply distressed' by 'personal attacks' made towards him over the internet. These came as a result of the move to impose a parking tariff in 11 towns including Carlisle, Penrith, Cockermouth and Keswick. The plans were not introduced following a consultation that identified concerns about the inadequacy of the enforcement regime. This resulted in him appearing 'distracted' in the fortnight before the incident. While in hospital the councillor suffered what was described as a 'psychotic episode' - attacking a pregnant nurse with a butter knife. Mental health consultant Dr Richard Morgan confirmed Mr Stephenson 'lashed out' at the pregnant nurse. He said the councillor also injured his own eye with the arm of his glasses and said he wished the attempt upon his life had been successful. Mr Stephenson's wife argued he was terrified, sleep-deprived and affected by medication at the time. She added she did not believe Mr Stephenson deliberately tried to end his life. He died on 25 July from a pulmonary embolism and bronchial pneumonia, with a stroke as a secondary factor.

He added: 'It's quite clear Jo Stephenson was very well-loved and liked and had lived a very successful life.

Andrews' arrest came about an hour after he was named with Nowsch in an indictment. The trial is scheduled for May 26 and the defendants could get the death penalty or life in prison if convicted. District Attorney Steve Wolfson said: 'If you're a getaway driver, aiding and abetting another to commit a crime, you're equally guilty,' Nowsch pleaded not guilty on March 12 to the murder, attempted murder and weapon charges during an appearance at Clark County District Court. He is expected to plead not guilty to the conspiracy charge.

The impact zone was found in the Warburton Basin in two parts, each 200km wide, indicating the meteor that created them split into two before smashing into the earth. Even though it was found two kilometres underground, the impact zone is now the largest in the world, by over 100km. Dr Andrew Glikson from ANU indicates that the size of the asteroid means it could have impacted a mass extinction . The precise age of the crater is not yet known exactly, but researchers think it may be around 300 million years. \u2018We cannot define this impact zone in anywhere near the degree of detail we can define the ones exposed on the surface,' Lead Researcher Dr Andrew Glikson of the Australian National University told Daily Mail Australia. Researchers strongly believe the meteor could have caused the end of many life species on the planet at the time, including the dinosaurs. 'From the size - yes, it could have impacted a mass extinction,' Dr Glikson said. 'Even though we do not know the exact age of the meteor yet, we do know life was very primitive at that time.' The impact zone extends through the Earth's crust which is around 30km thick in Central Australia. The two adjoining craters were thought to have been caused when a meteor split on its approach to Earth, forming two smaller ones each about 10km across. This impact zone, if confirmed, would be the largest in the world. The second largest is the Vredefort crater in South Australia, spanning 300km. This zone survives on the surface of Earth and therefore is easier to find than those underground. The impact zone was flagged after rock affected by heat and pressure was turned into glass . The impact zone was flagged after rock affected by heat and pressure, consequently being turned into glass was discovered, also known as shock metamorphism. The features of this metamorphism show that material was dramatically thrown out of the area in a span of more than 200km, indicating the possibility of a mass extinction. After using geothermal research to look at the internal heat of the earth and seismic data to see the vibrations of the earth's surface, the team of geophysicists released high velocity shocks two kilometres underground by drilling. The impact zone was found in the Warburton basin in Central Australia and spans 400 kilometres . Scientists have been using information from a major 2010 discovery that showed a large meteorite strike 66 million years ago wiped out the dinosaurs. A plume of ash was sent up into the air from the impact and sediment from this collision is found in rocks around the world today. However, none of this sediment has been discovered in 300 million-year-old samples indicating that this site could be older.

The top-rating show was pulled off air while an inquiry was launched. BBC bosses have today said the report will be handed over to the director-general next week. The BBC could have kept Top Gear on air but James May and Richard Hammond refused to go on without their co-host Jeremy Clarkson, it has been revealed .

The BBC has postponed the remaining episodes of Top Gear following the incident - a move which has seen it lose millions of viewers and receive thousands of complaints . Asked how he felt about the Savile comparisons as he pulled into his driveway, the suspended Top Gear presenter rolled his eyes . The corporation reportedly put forward proposals for May and Hammond to continue to present live sections of the show, which would be combined with pre-recorded parts featuring Clarkson, but the two co-hosts refused.

Senior BBC executive Ken MacQuarrie has been tasked with sorting out what happened during the incident, but a date for the conclusion of the inquiry is not yet known. But James May scoffed at suggestions he and Richard Hammond were offered the opportunity to host the show without their under-fire colleague Jeremy Clarkson.

Analysis by finance provider LDF says the rise is because Britons are shelling out thousands of pounds for private treatment. One of the increasingly popular procedures is so-called smile analysis, when a dentist assesses the width of the mouth, its symmetry and the extent to which teeth are even and white. Dentists are profiting from a huge rise in cosmetic treatment as more of us spend thousands of pounds to get a winning smile . The process typically costs \u00a3100. But any subsequent treatment such as braces, crowns being fitted on uneven teeth or whitening can be up to \u00a310,000 depending on what a patient decided to have done. Other procedures include sonic clean and polishing \u2013 for about \u00a3130 a session \u2013 which uses air and tiny particles to blast teeth and remove stains caused by coffee, chocolate and wine. Some private dentists have renamed their surgeries \u2018spas\u2019, greeting patients with scented candles in the waiting room and offering facials, foot massages and aromatherapy. Separate figures from the British Association of Cosmetic Dentistry estimate the number of people seeking such treatments is growing by 40 per cent a year. Experts say adults are becoming more self-conscious and worry that their personal life and career may be hindered if they don\u2019t have nice teeth. Britons are shelling out thousands of pounds for private dental treatment . Also, medical advances have replaced traditional train-track braces with clear, barely noticeable devices costing \u00a36,000. Many are having these fitted in the run-up to major events where they will be extensively photographed such as family weddings or milestone birthdays. Peter Alderson, of LDF, said: \u2018British people have taken to cosmetic dentistry in a big way, and that\u2019s reflected in rising incomes for top dentists. \u2018Increasing numbers of dental patients are starting to explore cosmetic treatments like laser whitening, and are willing to pay significant amounts of money for cutting-edge services, especially if they are delivered in a more exclusive, private clinic-style environment. \u2018The biggest dental groups are able to invest very heavily in their practices\u2019 equipment, furnishings and IT systems, and that has raised the stakes in the profession markedly. The younger generation of dental clients \u2013 those that are more comfortable with paying for cosmetic dentistry \u2013 expects enhanced services such as online booking and text message reminders as well as cutting-edge treatments. \u2018If dentists want to make the most of the demand for cosmetic dentistry, they need the type of apparatus and environment that brings in clients, but that type of equipment routinely costs tens of thousands of pounds.\u2019 One popular procedure is \u2018cosmetic bonding\u2019, in which grey fillings or chipped teeth are painted over to make them almost invisible, costing up to \u00a31,000.

A spokesman for the secretive state threatened 'merciless strikes' against South Korea and its ally the U.S., which helps conduct the military drills every year and insists they are just defensive.

The secretive state warned there would be 'merciless strikes' against routine military exercises carried out south of the border . Training: South Korean soldiers begin the annual military exercises near the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas - which despite its name is one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world . North Korea regularly conducts test firings of missiles, rockets and artillery, but they are often timed to express the country's dissatisfaction with actions by Washington and Seoul. The missiles were fired early this morning at the start of military drills which are due to run until the end of April. Fired from the west coast, they flew around 300 miles across the width of North Korea before landing in waters off the east coast, according to South Korea's Defense Ministry. Spokesman Kim Min-seok called the launches an 'armed protest' against the South Korea-U.S. drills and a challenge to peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Lonnie Franklin Jr - dubbed the Grim Sleeper because he allegedly had a break between committing multiple murders - is due to go on trial later this year accused of sexually assaulting, murdering and then dumping the bodies of 10 women across Los Angeles over two decades. But a new documentary by British filmmaker Nick Broomfield suggests Franklin was able to go on killing for so long, and possibly target dozens more victims, because of a police 'blindness' to his victims - which he likes to a 'genocide happening and nobody was talking about it.' Mr Broomfield claims had the police properly investigated the murders and disappearances of mostly black, female prostitutes and drug addicts lives could have been saved. He said: 'People didn't know someone was hunting for them.' Scroll down for video . Lonnie Franklin Jr, dubbed the Grim Sleeper, may have murdered up to 180 people as police in LA turned a blind eye because his victims were usually black and with drug problems, a documentary has claimed . Franklin, who worked as a bin man, will go on trial in June for the murders of 10 women, dating back to 1985. Bodies of the women were found dumped in alleyways wrapped in carpets or stuffed into rubbish bins. However a police search of his home found pictures and videos of 180 women who could all be possible victims. It is feared some may have been dumped in landfill because of Franklin's job as a bin man. Mr Broomfield said during the time when the crimes were committed, little attention was paid to the disappearance of around 200 women by the police or the media. 'I thought it was just incredible in the middle of LA which is one of the wealthiest cities in the world, within 15 minutes of the Hollywood sign over 200 women had disappeared in a 25 year period,' he said. He told the Sun: 'It was almost like a genocide happening and nobody was talking about it.' In his documentary Tales of the Grim Sleeper, Mr Broomfield claimed police didn't warn people there was a killer lurking in the neighbourhood or do anything to alert people living in nearby Hollywood because the victims were often seen as more of a 'nuisance.' He said Franklin, a father-of-two, was able to go on killing so long because he targeted vulnerable black women, many of whom had become crack and cocaine addicts in the 1980s. The suspected victims of the Grim Sleeper: Enietra Washington (left) survived an attempted murder and was found in 1988, Alicia Alexander (centre) was found dead in an alley in September 1988, Henrietta Wright (right) died in August 1986 in an alleyway .

This is the Londoner who travelled on 'safari' with evil Islamic State killer Jihadi John. Ali Adorus, 33, travelled to Tanzania in 2009 with Mohammed Emwazi when the pair were held and questioned by security services before being deported. Adorus, who was born in Ethiopia but grew up in London, is currently in an African prison after being convicted of terrorism offences. The married father-of-one was arrested in Ethiopia in January last year. Authorities say he entered the country in 2011 to try to establish Islamic rule through acts of 'terrorism'. Adorus grew up in a council house in north London and it remains unclear how he befriended Emwazi. He is believed to have worked as a security guard after studying at college in east London. Adorus was also known to the British intelligence services and received support from the controversial human rights group Cage, according to The Times. Along with German national Marcel Schrodl, the three were questioned by security services in Tanzania and later by British intelligence officers in Amsterdam and Dover. They complained about their treatment to Cage, who provoked outrage last week after describing Emwazi as \u2018extremely kind\u2019 and \u2018beautiful young man\u2019. At his trial in Ethiopia, prosecutors said that Adorus was 'accused of trying to unconstitutionally change the government and introduce Islamic government in Ethiopia by terrorism'. But Cage said that he was simply visiting relatives and gave a false confession in Amharic - a language he does not speak - after being 'brutally tortured'. They said that the case 'confirms a worrying pattern of young Britons of East African descent being harassed by MI5 and later ending up tortured in a third country'. He initially faced the death penalty but was then jailed for four-and-a-half years, along with two other British nationals.

Friend: Adorus travelled to Tanzania with Mohammed Emwazi, revealed last week as the man behind the 'Jihadi John' mask . Neighbours on the estate where he grew up described him as a 'good lad' and said that they found it difficult to believe that he had been jailed. One of his neighbours in London described him as a 'kind, beautiful and innocent human being'. In August, his wife wrote on a support group: 'We will get him home soon, Inshallah!' Following his arrest and detention in Ethiopia, Cage went on to petition the former foreign secretary William Hague and the Ethiopian ambassador over concerns that Adorus had not received a fair trial. In a letter on the Change petition site, they said: 'I have seen information according to which he was severely tortured in Maekelawi police station.

The girlfriend of murdered Russian politician Boris Nemtsov was under armed guard at an unknown location last night, as tens of thousands marched in Moscow in his name.

He once threatened to behead a journalist and investigate the killing himself. Ukraine\u2019s consul in Moscow, Gennady Breskalenko, said Miss Duritskaya was questioned until 5am on Saturday at the Investigative Committee building, where he had tried to see her. Ostap Semerak, a Ukrainian MP, said the model\u2019s parents were concerned. He said Miss Duritskaya told them by phone that she had \u2018no idea where she is kept\u2019, only that she was \u2018taken to some flat which is guarded, and she is not allowed to leave\u2019. Associates of Mr Nemtsov said she was staying with a friend.

Police claimed 16,000 marched, but observers said there were up to 70,000, with several thousand more in St Petersburg. David Cameron said he was \u2018shocked and sickened by the callous murder\u2019 and that Mr Nemtsov was \u2018dedicated to speaking up tirelessly for the Russian people, demanding their right to democracy and liberty \u2026 and to an end to corruption\u2019.

A leading barrister has been ordered to pay a \u00a31.2million penalty after he failed to pay his father's inheritance tax bill for 10 years after his death. Romie Tager QC, one of the country's top experts in commercial and property law, repeatedly refused to reveal how much his father's estate was worth and did not respond to requests to pay inheritance tax. A judge criticised his 'wholly unacceptable' and 'disgraceful' behaviour towards the tax authorities, adding that he was not 'open and candid about his affairs'. The barrister resigned as head of his chambers for 'personal reasons' shortly before the tax tribunal judgment was made earlier this month. Mr Tager, 67, has practised as a barrister for 45 years, and became a QC in 1995. Until his recent resignation, he was head of Selborne Chambers, based near the Middle Temple in central London. He recently defeated Gordon Ramsay in a High Court dispute over one of the celebrity chef's pubs, and has represented high-profile figures including David Mellor. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs took him to a tribunal last year after it emerged that he had run up enormous bills for unpaid income and inheritance tax. Mr Tager's father Osias died in March 2005 without making a will, the tribunal heard, but an assessment of the size of his estate was not given to HMRC until four years later. Tax officials disputed Mr Tager's estimate of his father's wealth, which was largely contained in shares, and sent Mr Tager a string of letters demanding further information. Despite being hit with non-compliance penalties of more than \u00a330,000, Mr Tager did not give HMRC the information they needed and was taken to the Upper Tribunal in May last year. At that hearing he blamed 'a lack of organisation' for his failure to respond properly, and although Judge Colin Bishopp said the barrister 'commanded little sympathy' he agreed to give him five weeks to comply with HMRC's demands, which he described as a 'last chance' to get his affairs in order. At a second tribunal hearing held in London in October, the judge was told that Mr Tager had still not sent the necessary information to HMRC. Judge Bishopp said that the information he had provided was 'wholly inadequate', adding: 'I have not doubt that Mr Tager must have been aware that it was inadequate.' In his evidence, Mr Tager said that he had earned 'very substantial fees' during his career, added that though he had often filed tax returns late he was keen to fulfil his liabilities. He also said it was difficult to work out the size of his father's estate, as Osias Tager was 'secretive' about money and had much of his wealth tied up in a variety of shareholdings.

While there will undoubtedly be logistical challenges in hosting what is Great Britain's biggest home tie in 29 years there appears an enthusiasm among the club's hierarchy to overcome them. Given Murray's desire to play at a venue where he has won the Aegon Championships title three times already, there is likely to be a concerted effort to make it happen, including on the part of the Lawn Tennis Association. Andy Murray with the Aegon Championship trophy at the Queen's club in West London last month . 'We have been approached, along with some other venues, and are actively looking at whether or not we could host it,' said a Queen's spokesman. 'There are a number of logistical issues that would have to be resolved, but if it is possible to overcome them Queen's would be delighted to host the Davis Cup in July.' That date of July 17-19 comes nearly four weeks after the conclusion of the Aegon Championships, which is the main Wimbledon warm-up. Among the issues is keeping up the huge main stand which takes the centre court capacity to nearly 7,000, above the 6,000 threshold required for a quarter final. Other challenges include a scheduled refurbishment of the clubhouse due to begin in early July, and making sure the grass court \u2013 the quality of which is reckoned to be at least Wimbledon's equal \u2013 can recover in time from the summer ATP event.

It is feared that the rise in demand for cosmetic genital surgery is a result of what doctors have called 'unrealistic representations of vulval appearance in popular culture'. The Committee warned there is a 'chasm' between the number of reported cases of FGM and the lack of prosecutions. In Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham alone, 1,500 cases of FGM were recorded over the past five years with doctors seeing six patients who have undergone the procedure each week. Keith Vaz said 'the law relating to female genital cosmetic surgery is ambiguous and must be clarified' The first prosecution under the FGM Act resulted in a not-guilty verdict when Dr Dhanuson Dharmasena was cleared of performing the illegal procedure on a woman in a London hospital. The Committee said different authorities, including the Director of Public Prosuections Alison Saunders, were passing the buck for failure to prosecute FGM cases. Mr Vaz said: 'The DPP informed the Committee that she could only prosecute on the basis of evidence, the police said that they could only investigate on the basis of referral, and the health professionals told us that they could not refer cases because their members were not fully trained and aware of the procedure. 'While agencies play pass the parcel of responsibility, young girls are being mutilated every hour of every day. This is deplorable. This barbaric crime which is committed daily on such a huge scale across the UK cannot continue to go unpunished.'

Patrons are charged a 'donation' of $20 at the door. On the walls inside are T-shirts emblazoned with obscene gestures and signs that say 'I hate being sober.' Additionally, Amnesia was staying open until 5am thanks to its church status, which is not under the city ordinance that clubs and bars close at 2am. This led Property Appraiser Dan Sowell to change the tax exempt status. 'A bottle club, charging $20 at the door and selling obscene T-shirts is not being used as a church,' Sowell said. 'A God-fearing, God-honoring church in January does not sponsor this type of debauchery in March.' Mark Q Bishop, the former pastor at Faith Christian Family Church, is the owner of the building. In 2004, Bishop was hit with another tax issue when county officials challenged him listing his 10,000-square-foot house as tax-exempt as a parsonage. The rulings were mostly in favor of Bishop, but he has allagedly changed the tax status of the property.

+{"article": "Whether it was a Druid temple, an astronomical calendar or a centre for healing, the mystery of Stonehenge has sparked endless debate over the centuries. Now a dramatic new theory suggests that the prehistoric stone circle monument was in fact 'an ancient Mecca on stilts'. The megaliths would not have been used for ceremonies at ground level, but would instead have supported a wooden platform on which ceremonies were performed to the rotating heavens, according to new research. Scroll down for video . Historian Julian Spalding has provided a new theory on Stonehenge. He says the stones were pillars used to support a raised platform during ceremonies. As shown in this illustration, steps or a ramp would have led to the top of the platform, where figures of importance would have stood, perhaps addressing a crowd below . Julian Spalding, former director of some of the UK's leading museums, argues that the stones were foundations for a vast platform, long since lost - 'a great altar' raised up high towards the heavens and able to take the weight of hundreds of worshippers. 'It's a totally different theory which has never been put forward before,' he said. 'All the interpretations to date could be mistaken. We've been looking at Stonehenge the wrong way, from the earth, which is very much a 20th-century viewpoint. We haven't been thinking about what they were thinking about.' Part of his evidence lies in ancient civilisations worldwide. As far afield as China, Peru and Turkey, such sacred monuments were built high up, whether on manmade or natural sites, and with circular patterns possibly linked to celestial movements. 'In early times, no spiritual ceremonies would have been performed on the ground,' said Mr Spalding. No-one is exactly sure why - and how - Stonehenge was built more than 4,000 years ago. Experts have suggested it was a temple, parliament and a graveyard. Some people think the stones have healing powers, while others think they have musical properties when struck with a stone. They could have acted as a giant musical instrument to call ancient people to the monument. What is clear, is that the stones were aligned with phases of the sun. People were buried there and skeletal evidence shows that people travelled hundreds of miles to visit Stonehenge - for whatever reason. Experts think that the route was a busy one and that Stonehenge could be viewed differently from different positions. It seems that instead of being a complete barrier, the Curcus acted as a gateway to guide visitors to the stone circle. 'The Pharaoh of Egypt and the Emperor of China were always carried - as the Pope used to be\u2026 The feet of holy people were not allowed to touch the ground. We've been looking at Stonehenge from a modern, earth-bound perspective. 'All the great raised altars of the past suggest that the people who built Stonehenge would never have performed celestial ceremonies on the lowly earth\u2026 That would have been unimaginably insulting to the immortal beings, for it would have brought them down from heaven", "summary": "Historian Julian Spalding has provided a new theory on Stonehenge .

Tahley, who is also a dressage judge, uses the manege to train novice horses and riders.

The owner of Chelsea Football Club and his family should be hit by new Western sanctions aimed at hurting the strongman's regime and those who propped it up, claimed Alexei Navalny. He called for the same curbs on leading Arsenal FC shareholder, Alisher Usmanov, in a bid to force the Kremlin's hand over Ukraine. Britain should ban major Russian tycoons like Roman Abramovich from London, demanded Vladimir Putin's most prominent foe, Alexei Navalny (pictured) These Russian moneymen are seen as close to strongman Putin, but sanctions so far have not hit them directly. Navalny, released from a short jail sentence in Moscow this week, is seeking to inspire the Russian opposition after the brutal murder of fellow Putin foe Boris Nemtsov in the shadow of the Kremlin. 'You can draw up a blacklist of about 1,000 people who will no longer be allowed entry into Western countries, and you can do it quietly, without any big announcement,' the anti-corruption blogger and lawyer told The Financial Times.

'Usmanov, Abramovich, and their families - if they can't get to their residences in London or in Switzerland, that will make a difference.' It was essential to hit the wealthy clans who help Putin control Russia, he said. To weaken Putin's resolve over Ukraine, he warned the West: 'You have to hit the propagandists of war, the ones who finance the war.' This was the only way to stop him, he said. Russian oligarchs 'all hate him but they feel they can't but remain silent'. 'A few years ago, we thought this was just nepotism, but now we realise that this is long-term planning: he is installing dynastic rule,' he said. Some wealthy tycoons untouched by sanctions backed Putin to the hilt yet flew to the West to enjoy weekends. He said of the slain Nemtsov that he was a 'communicator' who was 'not afraid'. Navalny added: 'He could bring together everyone in the opposition from liberals to the far left, but he would also talk to people inside the system, like the Communists, who did not accept his views but were open to dialogue with him.'

+{"article": "So much for the start of a green-and-white procession towards the title. Having just cruised beyond their nearest challengers, Celtic promptly ran into a roadblock. It was built by a deeply determined St Johnstone side seemingly inspired by a return to the scene of the greatest day in the club\u2019s history. Danny Swanson wasn\u2019t on the books when they lifted last season\u2019s Scottish Cup, yet his winning strike here was worthy of its own place in the memory banks of every Saints fan. With that pure, powerful swipe of his right boot, Swanson not only lifted his team into the Premiership top six, but kept Celtic within six points of Aberdeen. A run of ten successive domestic victories \u2013 a sequence which had granted Ronny Deila a new level of acclaim from Parkhead supporters \u2013 was brought to a shuddering halt. St Johnstone's Danny Swanson marked first Scottish Premiership start with a glorious first-time effort . Bookmakers will hardly be hiking their odds on them ending up with a four successive league crown. That much can still be viewed as a racing certainty. Here, though, was evidence that the odd chicane may still have to be negotiated en route. By the next time Celtic play in the top-flight \u2013 at Dens Park on March 18 \u2013 they will have come through Scottish Cup last eight and League Cup final meetings against Dundee United. Their Treble ambitions will be much clearer after that double-header, but any repeat of the wayward sluggishness shown last night will place the much-desired clean sweep in peril. To focus only on the failings of the Parkhead side would, however, be a gross injustice to St Johnstone. Not for the first time in his tenure, manager Tommy Wright produced the ideal tactical plan for his charges to follow. Celtic's Leigh Griffiths can't hide his disappointment after the defeat by St Johnstone . They had numerous fine performers and defended doggedly, occasionally desperately, throughout. But it wasn\u2019t only Swanson who brought a touch of class. In David Wotherspoon, who operated just off central striker Steven MacLean, they had the most impressive overall contributor on show. Now two points ahead of Dundee, Wright\u2019s men look well set for a fourth consecutive top-half finish. The Parkhead pitch is far from pristine as spring approaches but that couldn\u2019t entirely account for the sloppiness Celtic showed in the first half. Compared with some of their recent showings, this was turgid stuff at times. As expected, they still dominated both possession and chances, yet Alan Mannus wasn\u2019t exactly in need of a lie down at the interval. Anthony Stokes \u2013 making his first appearance since being late back from Dublin prior to the first leg against Inter Milan \u2013 offered the first flicker of threat with an angled shot whipped across the face of goal. Perhaps the most fluid move of the opening period then led to Gary Mackay-Steven striking a wicked curler first-time. Mannus stretched high to thwart it before denying Stokes on the follow-up.

+{"article": "Sergeant 1st Class Gregory McQueen could face up to 40 years in prison after he admitted recruiting three female officers into a prostitution ring . An army officer whose role was to advocate for victims of sexual abuse has admitted recruiting cash-strapped female soldiers to work in a prostitution ring. Sergeant 1st Class Gregory McQueen recruited the female soldiers to serve as prostitutes for high ranking officers at Fort Hood in Texas - one of the biggest bases in the country. One female officer was told she could make lots of money at swinger and stripper parties, while another claimed McQueen arranged for her to have sex with an officer for $100. At a court martial McQueen admitted getting the three officers involved in the sex ring, and betraying the trust of commanders who had appointed him as an advocate for victims of sexual abuse at the base, home to 40,000 soldiers, the Austin American-Statesman reported. McQueen admitted 15 counts including charges of pandering and conspiracy to solicit prostitution. As part of his plea arrangement, other charges were dismissed, but McQueen still faces one count of assault that may be considered by the court later. He could face up to 40 years in prison. One of the female soldiers had previously testified that McQueen arranged for her to have sex for $100 with an officer, Master Sergeant Brad Grimes. But prosecutors told Judge Lt. Col. Rebecca Connally that while there were plans for a tryst, the two never had sex. The woman had told investigators she was 20 when she confided in McQueen about money problems after her husband left her and her three-year-old son and drained the couple's bank account. She also testified that McQueen had sex with her and took photos of her naked to show potential clients. Grimes has already been demoted and reprimanded after he was found guilty by a jury conspiring to patronize a prostitute and solicitation to commit adultery. Initial charges were filed against McQueen in March 2014. Fort Hood officials haven't indicated whether anyone involved in the conspiracy actually had sex, according to the San Antonio Express-News. McQueen was an officer in Fort Hood's sexual assault prevention program and counseled victims of abuse. McQueen admitted breaching his role as an advocate for sexual abuse by encouraging the prostitution ring . He told the hearing: 'I was fully aware I violated those duties.' The maximum penalty for his crimes is 40 years in prison and McQueen could be sentenced later on Thursday. In addition to trying to recruit the young female soldiers, McQueen admitted trying to get two higher ranking officers to agree to have sex with junior female officers. These senior ranking officials refused, KCEN TV reported. He told the judge 'I engaged in conduct fully aware of my duties, and I willfully arranged for soldiers to engage in acts of prostitution,' he told the judge. 'My acts discredited the service.' Speaking after the hearing, South Texas College of Law professor Geoffrey Corn said the case was a 'very rare' occurrence that merited prosecution.

Forecasters were not sure just how far south it would be visible. Forecasters said early Tuesday, before sunrise, auroras were already seen in the northern tier of the U.S., such as Washington state, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. They said there is 'very strong possibility' that the northern lights could be seen as far south as the middle United States, even Tennessee and Oklahoma . This storm ranks a 4, called severe, on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's 1-to-5 scale for geomagnetic effects. It is the strongest solar storm to blast Earth since the fall of 2013. It's been nearly a decade since a level 5 storm, termed extreme, has hit Earth. Forecasters figured it would come late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning; instead, it arrived just before 10 a.m. EDT. They had forecast it to be a level 1. 'It's significantly stronger than expected,' Berger said. Forecasters had predicted a glancing blow instead of dead-on hit. Another theory is that the combination of the two storms made it worse, but it's too early to tell if that's so, he said. The storm seemed to be weakening slightly, but that may not continue, and it could last all day, officials said. It has the potential to disrupt power grids but only temporarily. It also could cause degradation of the global positioning system, so tracking maps and locators may not be as precise as normal.

+{"article": "In a move that could heighten the hurdles faced by states attempting to execute prisoners, a leading association for U.S. pharmacists has officially discouraged its members from providing drugs for use in lethal injections. The policy adopted by American Pharmacists Association delegates at their annual meeting Monday makes an ethical stand against providing such drugs, saying they run contrary to the role of pharmacists as health care providers. The association lacks legal authority to bar its more than 62,000 members from selling execution drugs, but its policies set pharmacists' ethical standards. Execution chamber: The American Pharmacists Association has approved a proposal declaring that participation in lethal injection executions by compounding pharmacies would be a violation of core pharmacy values (file photo) Pharmacists now join doctors in having national associations with ethics codes that restrict credentialed members from participating in executions. 'Now there is unanimity among all health professions in the United States who represent anybody who might be asked to be involved in this process,' said association member Bill Fassett, who voted in favor of the policy. Compounding pharmacies, which make drugs specifically for individual clients, only recently became involved in the execution-drug business. Prison departments turned to made-to-order execution drugs from compounding pharmacies because pharmaceutical manufacturers refused to sell the drugs used for decades in lethal injections after coming under pressure from death penalty opponents. But now the compounded version is also becoming difficult to come by, with most pharmacists reluctant to expose themselves to possible harassment. Texas' prison agency scrambled this month to find a supplier to replenish its inventory before getting drugs from a compounding pharmacy it won't identify. Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark said Monday that he had no comment when told about the ruling. Concerns: Pharmacists now join doctors in having national associations with ethics codes that restrict credentialed members from participating in executions (file photo) After a troubling use of a two-drug method last year, Ohio said it will use compounded versions of either pentobarbital or sodium thiopental in the future, though it doesn't have supplies of either and hasn't said how it will obtain them. All executions scheduled this year were pushed to 2016 to give the state more time to find the drugs. Other states are turning to alternative methods. Tennessee has approved the use of the electric chair if lethal-injection drugs aren't available, while Utah has reinstated the firing squad as a backup method if it can't obtain the drugs. Oklahoma is considering legislation that would make it the first state to allow the use of nitrogen gas as a potential execution method. Fassett, a professor emeritus of pharmacy law and ethics at Washington State University, said the united front by health professionals might force people to finally face the death penalty's harsh realities. Lethal injections have created a sterile setting for executions, he said. 'It's like we're not really executing. We're sort of like taking Spot to the vet. We're just putting him to sleep, and that's not true,' he said.", "summary": "The American Pharmacists Association has officially discouraged its members from providing drugs for use in lethal injections .

He did not know why, but also saw that Mack's mother was screaming. 'She (von Wiese-Mack) was angry at me when she knew that Heather was pregnant,' Schaefer said, while trying to hold back tears.

The initial projection of a purse split of $150million to the Money man and $100m to the PacMan has just been upwardly revised by Pacquiao's promoter. Bob Arum is now predicting a '$300m distribution' to the protagonists - $180m to Mayweather and $120m to Pacquiao under their 60-40 percent agreement. Floyd Mayweather could earn $180m from his May 2 fight with Manny Pacquiao given the huge public interest . Pacquiao will receive 40 per cent of the purse, which could hit $120m on projected record pay-per-view buys . Mayweather laughs while watching the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Boston Celtics . Those figures are based on Arum's firm expectation that this, the richest fight of all time, will not just break the pay-per-view record in America \u2013 but double it. He says: 'We are looking at four to five million buys. The interest is amazing, even from people who do not follow boxing, even people who don't follow any sports.

The only free ticket promised by Arum is for female UFC star Ronda Rousey, who he heard was preparing to spend all her career fight winnings thus far on a seat as close to ringside as that amount could buy. Promoter Bob Arum believes there will be between 'four and five million buys' of the fight on May 2 . Arum has only promised one free ticket to the Las Vegas showdown - to UFC star Ronda Rousey . Pacquiao, pictured working out in Minila, has already started preparing for his fight with Mayweather . Tickets are expected to be priced from the lowest at $1,250 to upwards of $6,000 for a seat at ringside. But it is unlikely any at all will go on general sale. Purchases may well be restricted to those holding a $250,000 credit line, or higher, at the MGM group of casinos on the Strip.

The double-up factor will begin with the Grand Garden taking $40m at the box office, compared with the previous high-mark of $20m for Mayweather v Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in September 2013. But it is the pay-per-view TV sales \u2013 with rival networks HBO and Showtime sharing the broadcast \u2013 which will generate most of the revenue.

This stunning image was taken from a helicopter as the capsule parachuted back to the ground by Nasa photographer Bill Ingalls . This landing brought to an end Expedition 42, carrying with it commander Barry Wilmore of Nasa and flight engineers Alexander Samokutyaev and Elena Serova of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos). Serova was the first Russian female cosmonaut to work on the station in two decades . 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 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 Soyuz TMA-14M spacecraft, which brought them back to Earth, departed from the space station at 10.44pm GMT on Wednesday. It took them just over three hours to return. 'We wish you a good flight and a soft landing,' the remaining crew on the ISS said to the departing crew. After a few hours of free flight, the Soyuz burned its engine for four minutes and 41 seconds, reducing its velocity enough for it to plummet through the atmosphere, with the crew module separating from the other superfluous sections. Once through the atmosphere, a parachute deployed and brought the Soyuz to a relatively gentle - but still quite bumpy - landing on the ground.

When Ms O'Neill was diagnosed with Lynch syndrome in her late 20s, a genetic condition that makes someone more likely to get cancer, she said it wasn't surprise. Sharron O'Neil and her mother, Jilian Carter, both have Lynch syndrome. It is a genetic condition that makes someone 85 per cent more likely to get cancer . 'Our family always knew there was something; we just didn't know it was a gene and a specific thing,' Ms O'Neill said. 'But, once I found out about Lynch syndrome and knew what it was, it all started to make sense.' Mrs O'Neill was diagnosed with bowel cancer when she was just 19. A week earlier, her grandmother had died of pancreatic cancer. Her mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer at the age of 39. Her family history with cancer extends back much further, with Ms O'Neill saying she tracked it back more than 200 years. 'The farthest back I have been able to go is to a relative who came to Australia on a boat as an orphan in the early 1800s,' she said. 'It covers six generations that I know of.' Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition that makes people more susceptible to a number of cancers including bowel cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, pancreatic cancer, and stomach cancer, among many others. People with the gene have an 85 per cent chance of developing cancer before the age of 70. Ms O'Neill's great-grandmother died of cancer. Just five years later, her grandmother's sister did too. She said the family was 'on notice' from that point. In the following years, four of the five remaining children, including Ms O'Neill's grandmother, faced three of more Lynch syndrome cancers, averaging out to almost one person per decade. Family ties: Mrs O'Neil's grandmother in the arms of her great grandmother . Lynch Syndrome Australia spokeswoman Beth Fairbank said approximately 20,000 Australians have the genetic condition, but only five per cent of people were diagnosed. 'There's 95 per cent of people walking around with it and they have no idea,' Ms Fairbank said. 'A lot of families that have a history of cancer think it's just a bit of bad luck and there's nothing that can be done about it, but in some cases it isn't bad luck and there are things that can be done. 'If there is such a thing, it can be a good cancer story. There are a lot of things that you can do and it really makes people aware and alert against it. 'People who know about the condition get checked much more regularly, which greatly reduces the overall risk from cancer.' Ms O'Neill said the most important thing is for people to start asking some potentially tough questions.

(Robinson \u00a39.99) For years I\u2019d thought it was Vera Lynn\u2019s We\u2019ll Meet Again they planned to broadcast when the atomic bombs fell, but according to Paul Simpson, in this essential guide to the iconic film, when a nuclear strike is imminent, the BBC intends filling the airwaves with songs from The Sound Of Music. Cynical sorts will argue that having to listen to Do-Re-Mi and My Favourite Things will only make them incredibly impatient for oblivion. Nevertheless the remaining powers-that-be sincerely hope to \u2018maintain some semblance of normality\u2019 by exposing us to the ever-optimistic Von Trapps. It has always been easy to sneer at \u2018three hours of nuns yodelling\u2019, and Christopher Plummer himself dubbed the picture The Sound Of Mucus. But I for one love it, perhaps because 50 years back my grandmother took me to see it six times at the Capitol Cinema in Cardiff. The Sound of Music could have been very different if the Osmonds had claimed a place in the film . I always hid under the seat when the Nazis prowled around the convent, and to this day I haven\u2019t seen the bit where the nuns sabotage the cars. It was a film that appealed to women who had domineering husbands \u2014 all those glowering Captain Von Trapp sorts who expected their dinner to be on the table. My grandmother, and millions like her, would love to have been Julie Andrews, cutting up the curtains to make clothes, falling in lakes for fun, rebelliously cycling around the countryside, picnicking and generally being heedless of chores and domestic obligations. In its unlikely and unstrident way, The Sound Of Music was a pioneering feminist rallying cry, and ordinary women, who\u2019d have had no earthly inkling what Germaine Greer was rabbiting on about, embraced it and identified with it. The first surprise in Simpson\u2019s book is that the story begins in England. The Von Trapps were descended from Robert Whitehead, an engineer born in Bolton in 1823. He went abroad to work for a Milanese company and in Trieste, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he built \u2018the first cylindrical marine boiler\u2019 and helped design armour-plated frigates for Kaiser Franz-Josef\u2019s navy. Whitehead\u2019s granddaughter, Agatha, met Captain Georg Von Trapp when he was visiting the factory looking at torpedoes. Julie Andrews (centre) is pictured in 1965 on the set of The Sound of Music with her on-screen step-children . They were married in 1911 and had seven children. Agatha died of scarlet fever in 1922, and Georg moved as a widower to Salzburg. A 21-year-old nun came to help out with the family \u2014 Maria Augusta Kutschera. She\u2019d entered the convent, Nonnberg Abbey, to escape abusive uncles and cousins. Exactly as in the film, she was a tomboyish postulant, always having to be rebuked for sliding down banisters, climbing on the roof, jumping over chimneys, and grabbing the other nuns to tickle their ribs. Georg was entranced, and he married his new nanny in 1927. But how much", "summary": "The Von Trapps were descended from an engineer from Bolton .

Rather than take the usual approach of fleeing the oncoming paintballs, Mr Wills must stand still while players take aim at him. He reports back on the impact of the paintballs so that manufacturers can ensure new batches are not too hard.

Pietersen will have a great chance to excel in Division Two at an excellent club. He\u2019s also fit enough, even in his mid-30s. He leads a good lifestyle and he\u2019ll be desperate to bang the door down. It\u2019s all set up for him. The 35-year-old will focus on the longer form of the game in a bid to force his way into Ashes reckoning . Pietersen still wants to add to his 23 Test centuries despite being axed by England last year . People are worried about his book, but the main targets in those pages \u2014 Andy Flower and Matt Prior \u2014 are no longer in the England set-up. I thought the book was a sad read, to learn that he wasn\u2019t enjoying what should have been among the best moments of his life. That\u2019s a real shame. But if Pietersen scores so many runs for Surrey that Graves and Harrison think he\u2019s irresistible, then everyone will just have to sit down and talk things through. Yes, it would become tricky for Downton and Peter Moores, who Pietersen didn\u2019t rate highly in his first stint as England coach. But I\u2019d put the key players in this drama in one room and tell them not to reappear until they\u2019ve bashed out a compromise. Treat it like a jury: don\u2019t emerge until you\u2019ve got a majority decision. The batsman, pictured playing in Australia's Big Bash, may change his Indian Premier League contract . Peter Moores didn't see eye to eye with Pietersen during his first spell as England head coach . Pietersen is the best batsman I\u2019ve seen for England and if he can get his mojo back playing for Surrey then at least he\u2019ll have fulfilled the criterion that Graves laid down. Test cricket is what gets Pietersen\u2019s juices flowing. It\u2019s unrealistic to imagine he could still be around for the 2019 World Cup. But he\u2019s found himself a county and now he\u2019s got to get some runs. It\u2019s going to be a very interesting summer. England fell to an embarrassing early exit from the World Cup after a defeat by Bangladesh in Adelaide .", "summary": "Kevin Pietersen agrees to return to county cricket with Surrey .

Last week Downing Street said he would attend only one, before the start of the formal campaign at the end of March. This would avoid the debates dominating the entire campaign, something Mr Cameron has been warning about for several years.

The plan was criticised by all sides, with former SNP leader Alex Salmond asking whether David Cameron would be jailed at Wandsworth prison for failing to take part . \u2018Otherwise, all we are doing all the way through the campaign itself is talking about the debates.\u2019 Labour said putting the debates on a statutory footing would prevent the recent rows about when they should take place and which parties would be involved. The system would work on similar lines to the current rules for planning the number, length and timing of party political broadcasts, Labour officials said. This means that parties would be consulted but not given the right to veto.

But this broken brickwork is actually the result of a botched building job that brought the house down on a couple\u2019s plan for a basement extension. Ed Goldswain and his eight months pregnant fianc\u00e9e Jacquie Hale fled for their lives when the building cracked in half, escaping from their ground floor flat with their upstairs neighbours as debris fell \u2018like something out of a disaster movie\u2019. That was just the start of their nightmare. For although the builders were found by a judge to have been \u2018incompetent\u2019 and were ordered to pay \u00a3287,000 damages, the firm is believed to be insolvent, the High Court heard. And while the couple had buildings cover, the insurance company has so far refused to pay up. Now the pair fear they will never see their money \u2013 and they are still saddled with a 23-year mortgage on the \u00a3345,000 flat. Edward Goldswain and his partner Jacqueline Hale, who was eight months pregnant at the time, were planning to extend their \u00a3345,000 ground-floor flat into the basement of this property in Finchley, north London, when disaster struck . Mr Goldswain said AIMS Plumbing & Building Services Ltd were paid to do the work, but he and his partner soon noticed cracks appearing in the walls of the Edwardian home . After a bout of heavy rain Mr Goldswain said he noticed the cracks widening dramatically. The pair alerted their upstairs neighbour and all of them were forced to flee as the building fell down into the basement . Yesterday 39-year-old investment banker Miss Hale described how, in ten or 20 seconds, cracks in the wall went from 1cm wide to 10cm before one side of the building fell away. The trauma caused her early contractions and she had to be taken to hospital. The baby boy was born unharmed six weeks later. Miss Hale and marketing manager Mr Goldswain, 40, bought the house in Finchley, North London, four years ago and decided to extend into the basement. AIMS Plumbing & Building Services Limited began work in September 2012. It went wrong within two months and the couple sued. Last week Mr Justice Akenhead said the \u2018overwhelming probability\u2019 was that the builders failed to carry out the work with reasonable care and skill. Barnet council has demolished the building and made the site safe. And the couple \u2013 who now have a second son \u2013 have been renting as they contest the insurance company\u2019s decision. Miss Hale said: \u2018The good news is that we\u2019re happy and healthy and we\u2019ve got two lovely kids.\u2019 The judge ordered AIMS Plumbing & Building Services Limited to pay the couple almost \u00a3290,000 for the destruction of their Edwardian home. Mr Goldswain and Ms Hale were forced to move out of their dream property, along with their neighbour, and subsequent checks by Finchley Council revealed the house would have to be pulled down .

The Red Devils have collected five points out of a possible six since Sheens arrived to take up a short-term advisory role at the club and it was Chase, who was given his NRL debut by Sheens as a teenager at Wests Tigers, who once more stole the show on Adrian Morley's 300th Super League appearance.

Salford looked to be firmly in command when Chase dummied his way over for a solo try three minutes into the second half, Griffin making it 18-6, but Wakefield were in no mood to roll over. Hooker Paul McShane, just back on the field for the injured Pita Godinet, caught the Salford defence napping by forcing his way over from dummy half for his side's second try, which Hall goaled.

It's the same highly pathogenic H5N2 strain of avian influenza that's been confirmed in backyard and wild birds in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. However, it's the first appearance of the strain in the Mississippi flyway [states around the Mississippi river] said Dr. Bill Hartmann, Minnesota's state veterinarian. Fewer than 100 of the turkeys were still alive by Thursday, Hartmann said. The flock has been quarantined and the remaining birds were being killed. A flock of 15,000 turkeys was wiped out on a farm in Minnesota in a week by a deadly strain of bird flu carried by wild waterfowl that are not sickened by it. The strain has already been found in the Pacific Northwest . Dr. Bill Hartmann (left) said that this is the first appearance of the strain in the area. Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson (right) said: 'We can only prepare for the worst and hope for the best' No other commercial flocks are nearby, he said, but 'backyard flocks' within a 10-kilometer area (approximately six miles) were being tested for the disease. The virus is carried by wild waterfowl that aren't sickened by it. The incubation period is approximately 21 days. 'We're encouraged that we'll be able to prevent the spread of the disease,' Hartmann said. 'We should be able to contain this without much difficulty.' 'If we can get through the next 21 days without finding anything, we should be in good shape,' Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson added. Minnesota is the nation's top turkey producer, with industry groups claiming to produce some 46 million turkeys each year worth around $750 million. Frederickson said about 8 per cent of that production, or $92 million worth, was exported in 2013. He acknowledged that those exports could take a hit, as poultry exports from states in the Northwest already have. 'We're very cognizant of that,' Frederickson said. 'We can only prepare for the worst and hope for the best.' The risk to humans is low, state and federal officials announced on Thursday. Minnesota Health Commissioner Ed Ehlinger stressed there is no danger to the general public . Health Commissioner Ed Ehlinger said the only humans at risk were four people who worked directly with the infected flock and they will be monitored. However, no human infections from this strain have been detected anywhere, he said. 'There are no food safety concerns at this time,' Ehlinger said. 'This is not a threat to the general public.' Hartmann said he was prohibited by law from identifying the farm or saying where it's located in Pope County. Nearly all commercial turkey operations keep their birds inside large barns and they never go outside. Hartmann said that was the true for the affected farm, too. He said turkeys in only one of the farm's four barns got sick. Farm workers found 70 dead turkeys on February 26 and notified the state the next day when hundreds", "summary": "Authorities in Minnesota are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best as a deadly strain of bird flu wipes out a flock of 15,000 turkeys .

Sportsmail understands that the case was put back at the request of the ex-midfielder's representatives. Keane, who managed Sunderland and Ipswich Town, is not required to attend court, but the postponement suggests that he may intend to do so. He was said to have launched into a foul-mouthed tirade and made obscene gestures after jumping out his Range Rover in Altrincham, Greater Manchester on the morning of January 30. Taxi driver Fateh Kerar, 44, claims the row last month was sparked when he and his female passenger spotted the TV pundit at a cash machine in nearby Hale.

+{"article": "UNIVERSAL MAN: THE SEVEN LIVES OF JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES . by Richard Davenport-Hines . (William Collins \u00a318.99) Keynes is a great name from our past, yet a vague one. An economic guru between the wars whose radical ideas helped to end the Great Depression and who then fought the Americans for us in the harsh, ungrateful bargaining after the end of World War II about who should pay for it. Keynes (right) with his Russian ballerina wife, Lydia Lopokova (left) No one but economists read Keynes\u2019 books and the controversies they created \u2014 because nobody but economists can bear to read about such \u2018a technical and difficult subject\u2019, as he called it himself. Daringly but sensibly, this renowned biographer, Davenport-Hines, has studied Keynes from seven points of view \u2014 not one of them as an economist. There is so much more left to say about him with this left out. He was a man who simply simmered with alpha qualities, and could have done just about anything. He settled for being a great economist, a pillar of Cambridge University, a distinguished higher civil servant, a successful market speculator, a popular writer and journalist, a dealer in modern art who helped to restock the National Gallery, a theatre impresario who provided Cambridge with its Arts Theatre, a restorer of Covent Garden Opera House to ballet from a wartime dance hall. Oh, and he farmed on his estate in Sussex. Presiding over his versatility was Keynes\u2019 amazing mind. To quote no lesser an authority than Bertrand Russell: \u2018Keynes\u2019 intellect was the sharpest and clearest I have ever known. Annihilating argument darted out of him with the swiftness of an adder\u2019s tongue.\u2019 For recreation away from all this cerebral activity, Keynes was an active and unapologetic homosexual for his younger years. Then he converted spectacularly to become the devoted husband of a glamorous Russian ballerina. He didn\u2019t disapprove of making money, but he saw it as something to spend. Money spent oiled the capitalist system; hoarding it gummed up the works and caused recurring crises. On himself: \u2018I have a clever head, a weak character, an affectionate disposition and a repulsive appearance . . . I am so physically repulsive that I\u2019ve no business to hurl my body on anyone else\u2019s.\u2019 But he did \u2014 and some of the most surprising pages of this book are devoted to Keynes the lover and sexual cruiser on the pick-up. You would not have guessed it, because the cover-up was so careful, but the Cambridge of Keynes\u2019 pre-World War I years was a hotbed of sexuality of the most refined kind. A secret society called The Apostles (of self-elected alpha minds) held meetings at which they prided themselves on learned papers rejecting conventional moral values. \u2018We are the Immoralists,\u2019 said Keynes. Keynes' (pictured) radical ideas helped end the Great Depression and he then fought the Americans at the end of World War II about who should pay for it .

Talking point: Although Starbucks says that nobody will be forced into a discussion, baristas will attempt to speak to customers about racism in America by writing slogans on their coffee cups . The move is the brainchild of Howard Schultz, 61, the company's boss, who has a track record of speaking out about contentious topics, from gay marriage to gun control.

Last year, Schultz travelled to Starbucks branches in the cities most affected by racial tension, including Los Angeles, St Louis, Chicago, New York, Oakland and Seattle.

How about leftover cartilage of skate with herring-head tartar sauce, cured tuna blood line aioli or a meat loaf of offal and slightly past-its-prime cow usually reserved for dogs? Those and two dozen other dishes using scraps and usually ignored bits comprise the menu at chef Dan Barber's WastEDny, a pop-up project at one of his Blue Hill restaurants in New York intended to shed light on the many tragedies of food waste. The farm-to-table guru, a multiple James Beard Award winner and author of The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food didn't have a hard sell on his hands when he invited 20 of his heavy hitter chef friends to join him in turning out $15 a la carte plates made from day-old bread, bruised beets, brine from the olive bin and the peels of pineapples. Among the chefs backing the concept are Mario Batali, Dominique Ansel and Alain Ducasse, with each taking it in turn to take the lead. Grub's up: In this Thursday, March 19, 2015 photo, a waiter serves a couple at WastED in New York - the menu includes dishes using scraps and other ignored bits . Diners haven't been put off by the idea of 'dumpster dining' and there is currently a waitlist for WastEDny. The final sitting will take place on March 31 and there is no word if a repeat session will occur. Even Barber's tabletops and cocktails tell the story. The restaurateur had his Manhattan tables redone with tops from agricultural byproducts and mushroom mycelium for his two-and-a-half week pop-up. His boilermaker libation included flat beer syrup and spent coffee grounds with the bourbon. Using such waste, of course, has been part of rustic cuisines around the world for centuries. And chefs like Barber, who has a second restaurant on a farm north of the city, are far more efficient than they're given credit for. But in the U.S., the land of abundant fast food, grocery aisles piled with perfect produce and home refrigerators stuffed with food never eaten, the distribution system has been deemed broken by activists in a waste movement more firmly taking root. 'Really, the larger issue is how do we create a culture of eating that utilizes the entirety of the food system. 'To do that we need chefs and restaurants to start the conversation,' Barber said during a recent busy night of service at WastEDny, capitalized to emphasis his hope of educating the unenlightened. Fine-dining restaurants are just a fraction in the food waste equation, however. About 40per cent of food grown for human consumption in the U.S. is tossed, cramming landfills, and about a third of such food globally never makes it into human mouths.

Repeated failure to achieve the target of 95 per cent of patients waiting four hours or less at A&E departments in England means it is no longer possible for the NHS to meet the standard for the year. The latest figures, for the week ending March 8, show the gold standard was missed for the 23rd week running.

'Warning signs are flashing' across hospitals with experts advising the Government there is 'no quick fix' to the troubles plaguing the health service. The Department of Health today said the four-hour A&E waiting time will be missed for the whole of 2014/15 after the latest weekly figures showed the target was not achieved for the 23rd consecutive week . Today NHS England revealed 92 per cent of patients spent four hours or less from arrival to being sent home or admitted elsewhere in the hospital. It marks a four-week high, but still falls short of the 95 per cent target. It came in spite of higher numbers of patients attending emergency departments, with 434,800 patients visiting A&E - up by more than 8,000 from the previous week and a four-week high. A round-up of the winter's figures show unprecedented demand on A&E, with two weeks in December having the two highest attendance figures ever recorded for a winter period. Emergency departments across England dealt with more than seven million attendances from November to February - an increase of 190,000 on the same period last winter. And demand in November and December was particularly high, with attendances up by 6.2 per cent over the two months. The highest peak was seen before Christmas in the week ending December 21, when there were 446,000 attendances - up 9.3 per cent on the same week last winter.

And . . . I didn\u2019t much like it. I found the suede stiff and heavy, and the colour and shape channelled the Seventies cowgirl look a little too closely for comfort.

She calls the dress 'a landmark dress in fashion history' Just being on Hugh Grant's arm would have garnered headlines enough but famously pouring herself into that revealing black Versace dress saw her steal the entire show, even if she was thereafter constantly referred to as 'Hugh Grant's girlfriend'. Elizabeth tells the Times that the moment was actually less about her and all about the dress: 'It was such a landmark dress in fashion history. Like nothing to do with me. It was the dress.' The black, strappy ensemble, seemingly held together with large gold safety pins, kickstarted her previously quiet career which, two decades on, has seen her try her hand at everything from acting and modelling to owning her own organic food company and designing her own swimwear. Her looks have very much remained flawless despite the ageing process. Still pin thin, there's barely a wrinkle on her, something which she puts down to nothing more than a lifetime of lathering on moisturiser - with at least SPF30 if she's in the sun - and a great diet. If plenty of older female stars have spoken out about ageism against women recently, any obvious discrimination seems to have passed Elizabeth by. She says there are 'a lot of girls who are doing advertising campaigns who are my age or more. It's a very nice time as far as that's concerned.' 'Quite sexy': Elizabeth's new show The Royals sees her play Queen Helena, based on an 'obviously fictitious' royal family living in modern-day London. Joan Collins plays her mother and was handpicked by Elizabeth . Flawless skin (...and plenty of diamonds): The star (pictured left in a recent selfie) says she hasn't experienced ageism in Hollywood and has had her 21-year contract with Estee Lauder renewed . It's hard to believe but exercise has hardly featured 'for years' thanks to a gruelling work regime that means she doesn't find it easy to make time for working out. Her current schedule, she says, sees her picked up at dawn and not home until 8:30pm in the evening.

Shadow chancellor Ed Balls (pictured at a conference yesterday) has been accused of having \u2018lost his marbles\u2019 after painting an \u2018apocalyptic\u2019 picture of Britain under another five years of a Tory government . The Tories said their plan to eliminate the deficit was necessary and accused Mr Balls of \u2018absurd scaremongering\u2019.

But he declined to set out how much spending Labour would cut if it regains office, or where the axe would fall.

We don\u2019t think they\u2019ll do that.\u2019 Public spending as a share of the entire economy will fall to just 35.2 per cent by 2018-19, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility's forecasts of spending cuts .

Senior Tories including William Hague last week tried to claim the failure to meet the target was a 'problem of success' because workers from struggling European economies were flocking to booming Britain. But calls have grown for the Tories to ditch the pledge, because the government is unable to control the numbers arriving from the EU. Senior figures, including Chancellor George Osborne, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Communities Secretary Eric Pickles are understood to have voiced doubts about the idea. Former home secretary Ken Clarke said globalisation had made the immigration target impossible to meet, while Baroness Warsi, an ex-Tory party chairwoman, said it was 'unrealistic'. Now Mrs May has signalled that she intends to include a pledge on net migration in the Conservative manifesto. 'I think we will keep the target,' she told The Times. 'It is important because it is about not just dealing with those coming into the system but also about making sure that those people who shouldn't live here actually leave.'

But that company, Net-a-Porter.com, proved to be a huge hit \u2013 with women saving up more than \u00a32,000 for dresses by top designers such as Valentino. Now the online firm she founded from a London flat in 2000 is about to go through a mega-merger with an Italian fashion group \u2013 netting the mother of two about \u00a370million. The deal with Yoox, expected to be announced this week after both sides confirmed talks yesterday, will make the business worth \u00a31billion. It is a remarkable success story for UK-based Miss Massenet, who is credited with changing the way women shop for high-end fashion. Her website has become a global phenomenon, reaching sales of more than \u00a3500million and spawning copycat sites across the world. The daughter of a British Chanel model, the 49-year-old former fashion magazine journalist set up her online business just as the dotcom crash hit in 2000. Aged just 33 and struggling to get any funding, she eventually managed to raise just over a million in start-up capital from her Chelsea flat. She launched the business with her then husband Arnaud while pregnant with her first child, despite warnings from sceptics who thought women would refuse to buy expensive clothes without trying them on. But the site has been a huge hit with the wealthy as well as those who simply live a long way from London\u2019s designer shops and save for months for an item. Top-end products on the site include a JW Anderson leather panelled mini dress for \u00a31,350 and a black silk satin jacket by Givenchy for \u00a32,675. Miss Massenet, who split from her husband in 2011 after 15 years of marriage, has since expanded the company into menswear with a site called Mr Porter and a discount site called the Outnet.com. She is due to receive the fruits of the mega-merger, which analysts say will bring a range of benefits, once the deal is finalised. She is expected to receive more than \u00a370million on top of the \u00a350million she made from selling the business to current owner, Swiss luxury giant Richemont, in 2010. That deal valued the business at \u00a3280million. The merger with Yoox, which sells overstocked or unsold designer goods from previous seasons, values it at a staggering \u00a31billion.

California-born Miss Massenet, who is currently the chairman of the British Fashion Council, may stay on in her role as chairman of the business. She worked for US magazine Women's Wear Daily and later became an assistant to stylist and fashion muse Isabella Blow at Tatler. Net-a-Porter is famous for its plush back and cream ribbon-wrapped delivery boxes, with designer items lovingly wrapped in crisp tissue paper.

But as the family come to terms with their tragic loss, Jones' eight-year-old brother, Jahari Jones, remains on life support at Dayton Children's Hospital.

The reports from the Dane County Medical Examiner don't say how many times Tony Robinson was shot on March 6, or whether he was shot while facing or turned away from the officer, but they determined he died from 'firearm related trauma.' The medical examiner didn't say when a final report would be released, but said the results of toxicology tests aren't expected for several more weeks. Madison police officer Matty Kenny fatally shot teen Tony Robinson (right) in the head, right arm, and torso according to a preliminary autopsy report . Robinson was fatally shot by police officer Matt Kenny after the officer was summoned to a call that the young man was jumping in and out of traffic and had assaulted someone. Authorities said the officer heard a disturbance and forced his way into an apartment where Robinson had gone, and fired after Robinson assaulted him. There have been numerous peaceful protests since the shooting, often drawing about 1,000 people. Community leaders working to address racial disparities said they hope Robinson's death draws more eyes to inequalities in the state's capital city, where black residents make up less than 10 percent of the population but account for a disproportionate share of arrests, incarcerations and children in poverty. Police originally described Robinson as black, but family members have said he embraced a biracial identity from having a white mother and black father. Wisconsin Attorney Gen. Brad Schimel has declined to release details about the shooting, claiming such information has resulted in turmoil in similar racially charged situations over the last year . Messages left with a family spokesman and community members weren't immediately returned Friday. Attorney General Brad Schimel has declined to go into any details about the shooting, saying releasing information in bits has caused turmoil in other racially charged officer-involved shootings in the U.S. over the last year.

Companies with more than 250 workers will be forced to publish details of their gender pay gap in a major Government U-turn. Liberal Democrat MPs are pushing to bring into effect measures in the 2010 Equality Act \u2013 which were not implemented by the Coalition \u2013 making companies publish the difference between male and female pay. Conservatives resisted the plans on the basis that companies should not be loaded with more red tape as the economy recovers from the financial crash. But government sources said that with Labour backing a change in the law, the Tories were confronted with the prospect of defeat in a crunch vote in the House of Lords. One said Conservative ministers had agreed the reform would be introduced, but only after a consultation with business leaders on exactly how it will work. Former Conservative deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine said he opposed the legislation because it would create \u2018more bureaucracy, more forms, more deterrent for companies to take on people\u2019. The new law will make it compulsory for larger companies to publish the average difference between the pay of their male and female employees.

Labour says that analysis of the Office for National Statistics\u2019 annual survey of hours and earnings show that over a career, from the age of 22 to 64, a woman earns an average of \u00a3209,976 less than men.

Pictured above at an event in Los Angeles in November . Deadline: In the article, by Nellie Andreeva, published Tuesday, she wrote that though ethnic diversity in television is long overdue, 'the pendulum might have swung a bit too far in the opposite direction.' 'The only appropriate way to view racial diversity in casting is to see it as a wonderful thing, and to hope that Hollywood continues to make room for people of color,' Fleming said Sunday, adding that the mistake has been dealt with 'internally' and that the website will 'do our best to make sure that kind of insensitivity doesn't surface again'.

The 45-year-old creator of hit shows Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder tweeted: '1st Reaction:: HELL NO.

+{"article": "A radio DJ has spoken of her nightmare being stalked by a man for 13 years - who would call her 66 times an hour and even threatened to throw acid in her face. Gail Sayles became so terrified of her stalker that she began to self-harm and was afraid to go in to work at Sunrise Radio, in Bradford, alone. The 40-year-old says she finally has her life back after enduring more than a decade of sickening harassment because of stalker Mohammed Basharat Feroz. Gail Sayles (pictured left and right, at work at Sunrise Radio) endured 'sheer hell' thanks to a stalker who harassed her for 13 years. Stalker Mohammed Basharat Feroz was detained indefinitely in hospital . Feroz, 55, was detained in hospital indefinitely last month after Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC ruled he posed a serious danger to the public and Sunrise Radio station in particular. Ms Sayles revealed seeing her stalker in court was only the second time she had seen him in person. But during years of what she described as 'sheer hell,' Ms Sayles said authorities had refused to act because he had never physically attacked her - until last year, when he threatened her with acid attacks and vowed to put her in a wheelchair. She said: 'This man has been in my life longer than my own husband. It's a huge weight off my shoulders as I can get on with my life. 'The calls would range from between 10 to 66 calls every hour. I once had 41 calls in 30 minutes. Ms Sayles says she became too afraid to go in to work at Sunrise Radio (pictured) in Bradford alone . She added: 'I was the only white person working at the station at the time so whether he fixated on that or the fact I was the only one answering I don't know but it was 13 years of sheer hell.' Ms Sayles, from Bradford, says the abuse started in 2001 after a rival business to Feroz's was advertised on Sunrise Radio. After his business went bust, Feroz appeared to blame the station - and as Ms Sayles was the only person answering the phones at the radio station at the time, she believes this is why he became fixated on her. 'He became fixated with me, I think, because I was the only one on the phones so he constantly spoke to me when he called,' she said. 'I had a police escort one night when I attended an election count for work. I didn't want to do my job anymore. It was so emotionally draining.' Feroz was jailed in 2004 for a campaign of harassment against a number of people. Ms Sayles was a witness in this trial, but she said he blamed his jail sentence entirely on her. The jail time failed to deter his actions and after losing his mother early last year, the abuse became more sinister. 'He threatened to rape me and to kill me,' she said.

Ten years after that chip-in and his fourth - and last - Masters triumph, the world could be denied the latest episode of the Woods soap opera at Augusta National. Even if he declares ready to play next month, the 14-time major champion still appears plagued by demons, seemingly both mental and physical. But while some might think McIlroy stands to gain the most from not having to battle against the greatest golfer of his generation, there is a distinguished voice suggesting quite the opposite. Rory McIlroy (pictured) needs Tiger Woods to help ease the burden of expectation, says Paul McGinley . McGinley feels McIlroy could benefit from Woods playing in the Masters to help ease the expectation . Some might think McIlroy could gain from Woods's absence but others, such as McGinley, disagree . The man now being widely hailed as Europe's most astute Ryder Cup captain, when asked whether it will be easier for McIlroy if Woods plays the Masters, said: 'Of course. Look what happened at the US PGA last year, all the talk was \"is Tiger going to play, is he not going to play?\" Rory was favourite, but all the expectation, all the talk, was focused on Tiger. Rory didn't sneak in the backdoor, but he was able to go about his business without the attention on him.' Woods, nine months shy of his 40th birthday, will fall outside the world's top 100 when (or if) he gets to Augusta - his worst ranking since before he won his first tournament as a 20-year-old in 1996. McGinley admits he has been 'shocked' at the decline, particularly the horrid chunked chips that have raised questions of the yips. 'The intensity Tiger has given to the game does have an effect,' he said. 'Is there a little bit of burnout going on? There's a reason why guys don't play their best golf in their 40s and late 30s.' Woods has been plagued by serious back injuries but blamed his chipping issues on swing changes. McGinley thinks there could be more to it, however. 'My hunch would be there's something bigger going on. Rory is in the evolution towards his best golf. There's no doubt Tiger has peaked, in age times, and in terms of when guys normally play their best golf. 'That doesn't mean he's finished, but certainly he's, in Rory wording 'in the back nine of his career'. McGinley, the victorious Ryder Cup captain, speaks with the media at Gleneagles in September 2014 . McGinley feels McIlroy needs Woods to play in the Masters to take the pressure off of him . 'It's not just the wear and tear on your mind and body, having performed at a very high intense level with scrutiny like Tiger's had for 20 years. It's (the) mitigating circumstances - he's got two kids growing up and he's spending more time with them,", "summary": "Rory McIlroy could benefit from Tiger Woods playing in the Masters .

A disgraced council worker who used taxpayers' cash to go on a \u00a33,500 spending spree on iPads and mobile phones for her 'spoilt' teenage son has been spared jail. Maria Spruce, 40, was trusted with a local authority credit card but used it to buy the top-of-the-range products and a laptop computer. Town hall bosses at Wolverhampton City Council became suspicious while Spruce, an electoral registration assistant, was on a three-week holiday to Australia last November. They discovered that she had made 47 unauthorised purchases on the card, totalling \u00a33,517, over a six-month period last year. Spruce admitted once count of fraud by position but was spared jail when she appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Friday. She was handed a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years. Judge John Warner said: 'You had been trusted with the credit card but used it in a dishonest way. 'I accept that you were under pressure at home in relation to your son but many people have those sorts of pressures but get on with their life without resorting to dishonesty.' The court heard that Spruce, of Bilston, in the West Midlands, bought the items for her son who was 'very controlling and aggressive'. Prosecutor Joanne Barker said: 'A colleague covering the duties of the defendant opened a credit card statement and saw it had been used for purchases that were not legitimate office business. 'She told her employer that she had bought the items for her son who was very controlling and could be aggressive towards her.'

'She probably felt guilty about being a single mum but she allowed herself to be completely manipulated by him.' Speaking after the sentencing, Wolverhampton councillor Paul Sweet said the sentence sent out a 'strong message'. 'The city council operates a zero tolerance policy on fraud and corruption and takes all allegations of fraudulent activity made to us extremely seriously,' he said.

In a scathing assessment, the left-leaning Joseph Rowntree Foundation said the Labour leader\u2019s vow to bring down fees from \u00a39,000 \u2018sounds progressive\u2026 but sadly it isn\u2019t\u2019. The charity said there were \u2018better ways\u2019 to use the \u00a33billion-a-year cost of the policy to help the poor, such as increasing spending on sixth-form colleges in poorer areas. Coming under fire from left: The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has criticised Ed Miliband\u2019s flagship plan to cut university tuition fees to \u00a36,000 . It also pointed out that because low-paid graduates eventually have their fees written off, the policy would \u2018mainly benefit mid to high-earning graduates who\u2019d otherwise have been repaying all or most of their loans\u2019. Also, there was \u2018no evidence\u2019 the rise in fees under the Coalition had hit the level of applications from poorer students, said the foundation, which added: \u2018Even if poorer students are put off, there is no evidence that these students would be much less deterred by fees of \u00a36,000 than \u00a39,000. \u2018The biggest factor preventing young people from poorer backgrounds from going to university is that the majority do not get good enough results at school to even attempt it.\u2019 Launching the policy last week, Mr Miliband said he was determined to keep the pledge he first made in 2011. The Tories have opened a three point lead over Labour in a poll. They are up to 34 per cent with Labour on 31 in the survey from former Tory deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft. Last week\u2019s Ashcroft poll had Labour in the lead. The new poll shows 42 per cent of voters believe Britain would be burdened with more debt under a Labour government. For the Tories it is 11 per cent. Labour is well ahead on improving the NHS. He insisted poorer students would benefit, adding: \u2018The scourge of debt from tuition fees is not only holding back our young people, it is a burden on our country.\u2019 But the proposal has been condemned as \u2018financially illiterate\u2019 by experts. University vice-chancellors are sceptical that a Labour government would make up the shortfall in fees. And many in Mr Miliband\u2019s inner circle fear his plan for a \u00a33billion-a-year raid on the pensions of the better-off to fund his eye-catching initiative will cost the party votes.

+{"article": "Almost 50 years ago, Nasa launched two men into space in the same spacecraft for the first time - a milestone for US human spaceflight. But the groundbreaking mission isn\u2019t necessarily remembered for this feat. Two hours into the mission, one of the pilots pulled out a contraband corned beef sandwich which sparked a controversial incident that was debated all the way to Congress. The Gemini 3 mission of 23 March 1965, America's first two-man spaceflight, was shrouded in controversy when astronaut John Young snuck a corned beef sandwich on board. The sandwich is shown here embedded in acrylic and is exhibited at the Grissom Memorial Museum in Mitchell, Indiana . The incident was explained by Robert Pearlman at Collectspace, . On spaceflight missions, the items astronauts are allowed to take with them are extremely restricted. And in the Sixties, at the dawn of the space age, restrictions were more enforced than ever as Nasa wanted to ensure each risky mission passed without a hitch. The Gemini programme 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. The spacecraft, nicknamed Molly Brown, carried astronauts Virgil I. 'Gus' Grissom, command pilot, and John W. Young, pilot, on three orbits of Earth. 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. Gemini 3's primary goal was to test the new, manoeuverable Gemini spacecraft. In space, the crew members fired thrusters to change the shape of their orbit, shift their orbital plane slightly, and drop to a lower altitude. This paved the way to the manoeuvres needed for the success of the Apollo missions. So when astronaut John Young pulled out a sandwich from his spacesuit, two hours after launching from Cape Canaveral in Florida, mission controllers were understandably perturbed. \u2018Where did that come from?\u2019 co-astronaut Gus Grissom asked Young when he produced the previously hidden item, in a bizarre exchange you can read in Nasa\u2019s transcript of the mission. \u2018I brought it with me. Let\u2019s see how it tastes. Smells, doesn\u2019t it?\u2019 Young replied. He had been given the contrabrand from fellow astronaut Wally Schirra, who was known for his pranks within the agency. But the stunt, although amusing, could have had serious consequences. Space food was typically prepared in liquid or cube form to prevent crumbs spilling out and potentially getting stuck in a key piece of equipment. The sandwich though, having not been vetted for launch, quickly began to break apart, which would later earn the astronauts a severe reprimand. \u2018It\u2019s breaking up. I\u2019m going to stick it in my pocket,\u2019 said Grissom. \u2018Is it? It was a thought, anyway,\u2019 replied Young. \u2018Not a very good one,\u2019 said Grissom.

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal were told of the night Norman Olsen had been at a bar in Hong Kong, when he became involved in a fight with a gang of 12 armed with weapons in the 1970s. The Queenslander said he was able to take on each of the 'crazed lunatics... screaming and yelling' at him as they came with batons that had spiked two-inch balls attached to the ends. He detailed how he was able to escape with an injury to his elbow.

+{"article": "Many consumers buy 'green' or organic household products in the belief they are safer and kinder to the environment. But many of these products also contain cancer-causing chemicals, a new study has warned. Australian researchers found that common products marketed as \u2018green\u2019, \u2018all-natural\u2019, \u2018non-toxic\u2019 and \u2018organic\u2019 emit compounds that could harm health and air quality. At this time, consumer products sold in Australia, the US and around the world are not required to list all ingredients, or any ingredients in a chemical mixture called 'fragrance'. This means consumers cannot check what the item contains and whether it is potentially dangerous. Household items marketed as 'green', 'organic', 'all-natural\u2019 and \u2018non-toxic\u2019 could still emit compounds that damage health, a study has warned . The researchers analysed 37 different products, such as air fresheners, cleaning products, laundry supplies and personal care products found all over the world, including those that claimed to be \u2018green\u2019 or \u2018organic\u2019. Then, they investigated the number of volatile organic compounds (VOC) the products emitted. VOCs are a large group of carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate and get into the air at room temperature. They can cause short term health effects including irritating the throat and mouth, causing dizziness and can make conditions like asthma worse. In the long term, exposure to these compounds has been linked with an increased risk of cancer, liver damage, kidney damage and damage to the nervous system. The reseachers found 156 different VOCs emitted from the products, with an average of 15 VOCs per product. Of these 156 VOCs, 42 are classified as toxic or hazardous under US federal laws, and each product emitted at least one of these chemicals. They found the cancer-causing pollutants were found in many of the fragranced \u2018green\u2019 products . And they were just as damaging as those from regular chemical products that aren't marketed as organic, researchers said. The most common chemicals in fragranced products were terpenes, which were not in fragrance-free versions. Researchers analysed 37 household products and found they all emitted volatile organic compounds (pictured). These are chemicals that get into the air easily and have been linked with cancer and liver damage . Terpenes react very quickly with ozone (a pale blue gas found in the air) to generate pollutants such as formaldehyde and ultrafine particles, the researchers said. The researchers also warned that fewer than three per cent were disclosed product labels or product information. Lead author Professor Anne Steinman, of Melbourne School of Engineering, said this means the public is unable to check which chemicals their household products contain. She said: 'The paradox is that most of our exposure to air pollutants occurs indoors and a primary source is consumer products. \u2018But the public lacks full and accurate information on the ingredients in these products. \u2018Our indoor air environments are essentially unregulated and unmonitored. \u2018Given the lack of information, consumers may choose products with claims such as green, natural, or organic, but those claims are largely untested.\u2019", "summary": "Experts analysed 37 household products including those billed as 'green' Found 156 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from items .

A lawyer has been jailed for pocketing \u00a350,000 of her clients' cash - including \u00a310,000 intended for a hospice - to fund a luxury ski trip to France. Yvonne Painter, 47, was a partner at a law firm in Leominster, Herefordshire, when she used an account she was expected to safeguard to steal more than \u00a349,060. She used \u00a310,000 destined for St Michael's Hospice in Hereford to take her family on a three-week skiing holiday, Worcester Crown Court heard. Painter has been jailed for two years after pleading guilty to a charge of dishonestly making false representation to make gain for herself or to cause loss to others. The company had an office account and a client account and there were clear rules stating that solicitors should only use the company's account. But between October 2010 and December 2012, a total of 14 cheques ranging from between \u00a3600 and \u00a310,060 were paid out from the client account by Painter. The money belonged to individuals for whom Caldicott Gallimore Solicitors was acting as executor of wills, the court heard today. Painter, from Stoke Prior, Worcestershire, then paid the money into either her account or one belonging to her husband, the court heard. In December 2012, a cheque for \u00a310,060, intended for St Michael's Hospice in Hereford, was put into her own bank account. It was paid in at a time when the office was officially closed for Christmas and Painter subsequently went on a skiing holiday for most of January with her family. Judge Richard Rundell said: 'We live in an age when people question authority and others in positions of authority but thankfully most people consider that solicitors are honest. 'Most people consult solicitors, being quite sure that whatever else might happen their solicitor will behave honestly and properly. 'You failed in that respect and failed quite badly. 'Over the space of over two years you took from this relatively small practice \u00a350,000. 'That was the most severe and gross breach of trust on the part of anyone who was then entitled to call themselves, and should have been proud to call themselves, a solicitor.

Fellow Conservative MP Conor Burns said Mr Prescott's view was 'half-baked, ill thought-out and sensationalist'. In his weekly column for the Sunday Mirror, Lord Prescott, who last week said Tony Blair's 'bloody crusades' in Iraq had contributed to terrorism, said: 'Isn't it time we faced up to the fact we've played a huge part in making them want to leave Britain and take up arms in a foreign land?' He was referring to a handful of youngsters to have fled the country to join ISIS extremists abroad. Last week three teenage boys were stopped trying to enter the country at the Turkish border. A High Court judge banned another group of youngsters from travelling overseas amid fears they were planning to wage jihad. Rather than blame 'Trojan horse schools', at which he claimed there was 'no proof' of radicalisation, Lord Prescott said of the impressionable teens: 'It wasn't just JIhadi John who radicalised them.' 'If I was a young Muslim watching the social injustice in Gaza where 2,000 people died in a matter of weeks from Israeli bombings, the displacement of millions of people in Syria and the U.S. using drone missiles.... I'm sure I could be radicalised too.' Mr Ellis, a long-standing member of the respected Home Affairs Select Committee, told MailOnline: . \u2018We must stand up for our values and defeat extremism \u2013 not by apologising but by challenging ideologies which seek to destroy peace and co-operation. \u2018John Prescott should focus on that an Ed Miliband should immediately condone these remarks and be clear that these views cannot be justified.\u2019 Mr Loughton said the remarks as \u2018extremely dangerous\u2019, adding: \u2018John Prescott now appears to be acting as an apologist for terror. \u2018I hope Ed Miliband will distance himself from this comments at a time when we need to do everything possible to dissuade young Muslims listening to the poisoned voices of those who try to glamourise a case which characterises itself by murderous barbarism. \u2018John Prescott only helps to play into the hands of those who wish to destroy our society and everything that we hold dear.\u2019 Asim Qureshi of campaign group Cage said the masked executioner Mohammed Emwazi,", "summary": "Former deputy prime minister said Britain had to answer for runaways .

And it's no different on the African plains as incredible new images have captured the moment a lioness teaches her cubs how to kill a wildebeest. At first the young cats seem nervous and reluctant to take down the animal in order to eat. The images show a reluctant and nervous looking lion cub being taught to hunt wildebeest by his mother on the African plain in Kenya . Even though her cubs look nervous, the mother is insistent that they must learn to hunt and tries to grab the attention of the wildebeest . After grabbing the animal's attention, it is then down to the two young cubs to take over as they begin to chase the defenceless animal . But the devoted mother is insistent that her cubs must learn how to hunt and approaches the prey to grab its attention. As she walks away, her two cubs then attack the defenceless wildebeest from behind. Initially, the horned animal manages to keep the three predators at bay, but after a couple of minutes the wildebeest is overpowered and the cubs catch their first prey. The amazing images were captured by photographer Mark Dumbleton in Kenya's Masai Mara National Park. At first the wildebeest appears to be holding its own and looks as though he might escape from the clutches of the lioness and her young . But he eventually becomes overpowered by the three big cats who jump on his back and attempted to drag the wildebeest to the ground . The stunning pictures taken in Kenya were snapped by photographer Mark Dumbleton, who said the whole experience just lasted minutes . Mr Dumbleton from Johannesburg, South Africa said: 'It was amazing to watch a mother training her children for when they have to leave the pride. 'I couldn't believe the animal instinct they had. 'The lioness was roaring at them, but they knew exactly how to take down such a large animal. 'The whole experience only lasted a couple of minutes. 'As soon as the wildebeest was separated from the herd, it was easy for the lions to take it down.' Mr Dumbleton has only been taking pictures since 2007, but now travels around Africa snapping the landscape and wildlife. Mr Dumbleton said: 'I couldn't believe the animal instinct they had. The lioness was roaring at them, but they knew exactly how to take down such a large animal. The lions finally get their prey and the wildebeest is dragged to the floor after being given a lesson in hunting by the lioness . He added: 'The awe-inspiring wilderness of Africa is motivating, it's captured my attention. 'It's really inspiring and as the saying goes, Africa truly runs through my blood.

The study of marginal constituencies suggests Labour and the Conservatives are heading for electoral deadlock in May, with neither party able to govern alone.

The poll, commissioned by former Tory treasurer Lord Ashcroft, suggests the SNP is on course for a landslide at the General Election, winning as many as 56 of Scotland's 59 seats - up from just six at present. The SNP surge would claim seats held by a string of household names, including those of departing Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling, and former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy. The Tories are also in danger of losing their one Scottish seat, held by David Mundell. At Westminster the poll suggests Labour and the Conservatives will be tied on 272 seats each - well short of the 326 needed to command a Commons majority. Lord Ashcroft said the astonishing surge by the SNP in the wake of last year's independence referendum had thrown a 'giant spanner in Labour's works', although the party is forecast to win Tory seats south of the border. Of the eight Scottish seats polled, the SNP would gain six - including four from Labour - and tie with Mr Mundell, in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale. 'It is hard to see things getting any worse for Labour in Scotland, while things are on a knife-edge elsewhere,' Lord Ashcroft said. 'But as things stand, Labour losses in Scotland could offset their gains from the Tories, leading to something close to a dead heat.

Adopting a positive mental attitude lowers the risk of suffering a heart attack, requiring surgery and even death. That is according to a new study by a group of scientists at University College London. The research found after suffering a heart attack or angina, the most pessimistic patients were twice as likely to suffer a more serious health condition in the next four years, compared with the most optimistic patients. These conditions include a more severe heart attack, heart surgery or death. A new study by researchers at University College London has found optimists are less likely to suffer a heart attack, heart surgery or die in the years after suffering an initial heart attack or angina . In the UK, 2.3 million people are living with coronary heart disease, the major cause of heart attacks and unstable angina ( the type that doesn't occur upon exertion but strikes randomly, and persists even at rest). Meanwhile in the US, around 375,000 people die each year from coronary heart disease. Scientists surveyed the mental attitudes of 369 patients, who were admitted to hospital with unstable angina and heart attacks. They monitored the patients' health over the next 46 months. Led by British Heart Foundation professor Andrew Steptoe, the team noted their findings could be linked to a number of physical and psychological impacts of being optimistic. Half of the most pessimistic patients who smoked were still smoking one year after going into hospital. In contrast, 85 per cent of the optimistic smokers had quit their habit entirely, a year on. Smoking has long been known to be a major risk factor for heart attack and angina, with an estimated 22,000 deaths each year from cardiovascular disease linked to smoking. The research comes ahead of No Smoking Day next Wednesday, when the British Heart Foundation will call on smokers to quit for good. The study also showed that optimistic patients are more likely to increase their consumption of fruit and vegetables, a year after their heart attack or angina. The study found pessimists were more likely to smoke and live an unhealthy lifestyle - factors linked to poor heart health . Forty per cent with a positive outlook were eating the recommended five or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Meanwhile only 20 per cent of the most pessimistic patients were eating the required amounts, 12 months after their hospital admission. Lead author of the research, Professor Steptoe, said: 'Our research shows that optimistic people are more likely to take advice about lifestyle changes on board, like quitting smoking and eating more healthily \u2013 this results in better outcomes after a patient suffers from unstable angina or a heart attack.

Following her diagnosis in May 2014, 42-year-old City worker Ebba worried most about how six-year-old Lene would take the news. Her greatest fear was that Lene would be left without a mother at a young age, just like her own mother had been. Ebba's grandmother had died of liver cancer when Ebba's mother was only 10. Ebba is proud of how daughter Lene, six, has dealt with her breast cancer diagnosis . Ebba, who is originally from Germany and now lives in London, said: 'When I was first diagnosed, I had all the shock, horror and anxiety to deal with and I worried history would repeat itself. 'My grandmother died of liver cancer when she was 33 and my mother was 10. I was told she was in horrific pain and that has always informed my image of cancer.' After finding a lump in her breast, Ebba waited until she had confirmation that it was cancer following a number of tests before broaching the subject with her daughter one bedtime. 'I thought it would be the worst thing ever to tell Lene and I was worried I would dissolve into tears,' she told MailOnline. 'But I forgot that children don't have the same images of people being bald and throwing up. 'Beforehand I was very stressed and tearful at the thought of having to tell Lene but when it happened she was calm. 'She'd never heard of cancer before so her first response was to be puzzled. I didn't get the reaction I'd had from other people that something terrible was happening to me so in the end it was one of the few occasions I didn't cry when telling someone I had cancer.'

But in the modern world, the same could easily be said about repeatedly forgetting an important password. Now researchers have turned to the great Victorian author to help find a way of making passwords both secure and more memorable. Researchers have turned to the works of Charles Dickens (illustrated) to generate secure but memorable passwords according to new research by US-based computer scientists. They used a model from probability theory to examine the occurrence of letters within Mr Dickens' Tale of Two Cities to generate new passwords . They used a model from probability theory to examine the occurrence of letters within Mr Dickens' Tale of Two Cities to generate new passwords. The process works by looking for two characters that commonly appear together but then generating a third letter that does not. Millions of internet users still rely upon easy-to-crack passwords such as \u2018qwerty\u2019 and \u2018123456\u2019, but many people are choosing to use more complex sets of characters for our online accounts. However, a new study has found these seemingly random passwords may be more obvious to hack than you realise. Researchers have shown that passwords such as \u2018mnbvcxz\u2019, \u2018qaz2wsx\u2019 and \u2018adgjmptw\u2019 can be cracked in seconds - and adding numbers to your codes does little to boost its strength. The analysis was made by hosting firm WP Engine using 10 million passwords recently released by security consultant Mark Burnett. They spotted that a number of complex passwords were being used by multiple people. For example, \u2018qaz2wsx\u2019 was in the top 30. They also noticed that a website called Zxcvbn scored these words as zero, or low, for so-called entropy. Entropy is used to determine the strength of a password in terms of \u2018information entropy\u2019. This comes from information theory and is measured in bits. The more bits a word is assigned, based on the number of guesses it would take to crack, the stronger the password. Other words that received a low score include \u2018qwertyuiop\u2019, \u20181qaz2wsx\u2019 and \u2018zxcvbnm\u2019. This is because each of these words follow a certain pattern on a keyboard, known as \u2018keyboard walks\u2019. The same approach is used to generate the third character using the second and third letter and so on. The result is 56-bit passwords that look like English but are not, making them easy to remember but harder for hackers to guess. Among the examples produced by the approach from the Tale of Two Cities were: 'The cusay is wither?' and 'Ther highly to a vice of eart'. This password would be entered as they are typed above, including spaces. According to Dr John Clements, a computer and software engineer at the California Polytechnic State University who devised the approach, these are easier to remember than random strings of letters and characters that are often recommended by password generators. He said: 'Users are very bad at choosing passwords. 'Today, the general assumption - evidenced by", "summary": "Computer expert applied probability theory to Dickens' Tale of Two Cities .

A former tennis Grand Slam champion has been found guilty of raping and assaulting young girls he was coaching in the early 1980s. Australian-born Bob Hewitt, 75, had pleaded not guilty to the two charges of rape and one of indecent assault, which were brought against him by three women in 2013. But Judge Bert Bam, sitting at the South Gauteng High Court outside Johannesburg, South Africa, said that the evidence against him was 'overwhelming'. During the trial, his victims said that Hewitt, best known as a doubles star, assaulted them during private tennis lessons when they were young girls. 'Time did not erase the crimes. 'A guilty person should not go unpunished. The scales of justice tip against the accused,' Bam said. One woman testified that Hewitt had told her 'rape is enjoyable' as he assaulted her. Another victim told the court he had touched her inappropriately 34 years ago and forced her to perform a sex act on him when she was 12 and 13. Hewitt won numerous Grand Slam events during his career in the 1960s and 1970s and was named to the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1992. But his name was removed from the hall of fame in 2012, following allegations that he sexually abused girls he coached. Judge Bam said he is satisfied that the two women who had accused the retired tennis player of rape and a third woman who had accused him of sexual assault were telling the truth. The judge said the striking similarities among the three womens' testimonies showed that Hewitt's conduct was calculated. Bam initially ordered that Australian-born Hewitt should be taken into custody, but said he was willing to consider bail until sentencing in April. A decision is expected later today. Wearing a suit, Hewitt sat with arms crossed and appeared impassive as the judge explained the reasoning behind his verdict for nearly two hours.

Four of the claws also bore opposing rows of teeth that helped the creature catch its prey in the prehistoric seas of the Cambrian period. Scroll down for video . Yawunik kootenayi, shown in the reconstruction above, lived in the ocean 508 million years ago. The lobster-like creature had four eyes and long whip-like antennae that extended from the tips of its claws . A fossil of the strange looking creature was discovered in Marble Canyon at the north end of Kootenay National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Palaeontologists say the species was probably one of the first predatory arthropods to roam the planet - a group that later evolved into spiders, lobsters and insects. A crocodile-like amphibian that was the size of a small car dominated prehistoric lakes more than 200 million years ago, a new study has found. Palaeontologists discovered the fossilised remains of the 'super salamander' while excavating on the site of an ancient lake in southern Portugal. The predator, which grew to be around two metres (6.5 ft) in length and lived in lakes and rivers during the Late Triassic Period, has been named Metoposaurus algarvensis. With a mouth filled with sharp needle-like teeth it is thought to have preyed upon fish but could also have snapped up any small early dinosaurs that got to close to the water. The predatory creature, which like all arthropods had an external skeleton or exoskeleton, is thought to have lived 508 million years ago. Cedric Aria, a evolutionary biologist at the University of Toronto who was part of the team that discovered the species, said: 'This creature is expanding our perspective on the anatomy and predatory habits of the first arthropods, the group to which spiders and lobsters belong. 'It has the signature features of an arthropod with its external skeleton, segmented body and jointed appendages, but lacks certain advanced traits present in groups that survived until the present day. 'We say that it belongs to the 'stem' of arthropods.' The researchers, whose study is published in the journal Palaeontology, describe how Yawunik has many primitive features that resemble those that later evolved in insects and crustaceans. It has long frontal appendages that resemble the antennae of modern beetles or shrimp, but in Yawunik these were actually each comprised of three long claws.

Angel Pitts was tragically knocked down and killed when her father accidentally drove into her last summer . The little girl - who had only just learned to walk - was found underneath the family's Toyota Avensis by her devastated father. He initially thought he had hit one of children's garden toys left on the drive, the hearing was told. Sergeant Carl Quinn, from West Yorkshire Police's Collision Investigation Unit, told the coroner: 'Scott got into his vehicle to go and collect a DVD for the family to watch later that evening.

Scientists have announced that sea surface water temperatures have been warmer than average in the western and central Pacific Ocean and have started to alter wind patterns. 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. The US National Oceanic and Atmosopheric Administration has detected warmer than average water surface temperatures around the equator of the Pacific Ocean (shown above) which indicates the arrival of El Ni\u00f1o . However, they say that the El Ni\u00f1o conditions are currently 'extremely weak' and come at a time of the year when the influence of El Ni\u00f1o on weather patterns usually declines. This means that while El Ni\u00f1o conditions normally brings wetter weather to the northern hemisphere in the summer, it is unlikely to be bring substantially more rainfall than this spring. El Ni\u00f1o is caused by a shift in the distribution of warm water in the Pacific Ocean around the equator. 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. The NOAA said that it was unlikely the phenomenon would bring enough rain this spring to break the three-year record-breaking drought that is currently affecting California. Some meteorologists, however, have warned that this El Ni\u00f1o could combine with another slow movement of water temperature in the Pacific Ocean called the Pacific Decadal Osciallation (PDO). The PDO reached record levels in December last year and January this year, and should it stay strong, it may combine with El Ni\u00f1o to increase global temperatures. Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Centre, said: 'Based on the persistent observations of above-average sea surface temperatures across the western and central equatorial Pacific Ocean and consistent pattern of sea level pressure, we can now say that El Ni\u00f1o is here. 'Many climate prediction models show this weak El Ni\u00f1o continuing into summer.' The arrival of this El Ni\u00f1o is considered to be late after scientists last year predicted they were expecting one last year, but the conditions failed to materialise.

A change of direction and his knee went out from underneath him. If it\u2019s the ACL, that would be the World Cup as well. That\u2019s not good. \u2018We\u2019ll miss him in attack and defence.

He\u2019s understandably very upset about it. \u2018We\u2019ve seen guys come back from an ACL before, so it\u2019s just about when we get him back. But, if it\u2019s the ACL, he\u2019ll be six months. \u2018He was getting tested this morning. I went to see him during a break in training and he\u2019s been whisked off with the pros.

Matt Scott has now taken Dunbar\u2019s slot for the England game. \u2018It\u2019s an opportunity for Matt Scott, who was initially named on the bench,\u2019 said Cotter. \u2018You saw his two tries for Edinburgh last weekend, he is ready to step up. We\u2019ve got an able replacement who has played well recently. \u2018We would dearly love to have Alex starting and then have someone like Matt come in and keep pace, bring physical intensity and presence to the game. But Matt has stepped straight in, and it means we\u2019ll have to juggle the bench if we get injuries. \u2018I think it has tightened the group up \u2013 and that will be important when we play this weekend.

Yet incredibly this Melbourne-based couple, both aged 30, have never consummated their marriage - and Erica admits that she has no intention of ever doing so. For while Andrew would love to rip his wife's clothes off, Erica is in fact still a virgin and reveals to the Daily Mail Online that the very idea of making love to her husband is a complete turn off rather than a turn on. Unique arrangement: Erica and Andrew Holloway have been married since October 2012 but have never had sex because Erica is 'repulsed' by the idea . 'I wish I wanted to have sex with my husband,' Erica, a graphic designer, explains. 'But I don't and I know I never will as, while I love him, the idea of sex repulses me.

At this point, Erica had almost given up on ever finding love, as, perhaps unsurprisingly, most men she met ran a mile when she told them about her total aversion to sex. 'It was such a frustrating period of my life as I knew I was different, I just didn't know why,' she recalls. 'All my friends were experimenting with boyfriends, yet when I even kissed a boy, it just left me cold. 'I still wanted the companionship you get from a partner, I just didn't want the sex side and I worried I would never ever find anyone who would be prepared to love and accept me the way I am.' But in 2002, Erica's world changed when she met Andrew, while the pair were both living in Melbourne. She admits that she felt as though she had finally met a man who did love her just the way she was.

William Hanna, 65, and Dianne Whitehouse, 59, were previously convicted of causing or inciting involvement in child pornography for their offences with a 'damaged' 15-year-old girl at a Birmingham hotel. Both were also convicted, and jailed, for sexual activity with the vulnerable teenager. Cleared of charge: William Hanna, 65, and Dianne Whitehouse, 59, had their convictions of causing or inciting involvement in child pornography overturned as their live streaming of sex sessions was not permanent . But after the pornography ruling was quashed by the Court of Appeal, a retrial at Birmingham Crown Court ended with a jury being directed to return not guilty verdicts. The ruling came after it was judged the live streaming of the pair's sex sessions with their victim did not fit the legal definition of pornography, which must be recorded in a permanent form. Directing the jury to clear the pair, Judge Richard Bond said: 'These defendants have been convicted of sex offences. 'In regards to these charges it is a legal technicality we are dealing with it is important if someone is going to be convicted there are convicted on what the law states. 'The law says this offence can only be committed if data being streamed is recorded. There was no recording in this case, and if there was no recording then the offence is not made out.'

Former Frankley Community School teacher Hanna, previously of Acocks Green, Birmingham, was jailed for seven years in 2013 after being convicted of three charges of sexual activity with a child. Girlfriend Whitehouse was jailed for six years after being convicted of two charges of the same offence. Their trial heard how they met their victim online before 'degrading' her in sessions at the Etap Hotel, off Bristol Road, Birmingham which were streamed live on the internet. In one session a man dressed in a catsuit entered the room and had sex with the teen. Jailing the pair in 2013, Judge Patrick Thomas QC said Hanna and Whitehouse had taken advantage of an 'intensely troubled and damaged child' and 'relished' her young age. He told them: 'You treated her not as a damaged child who needed protection, but as somebody who could be simply used as you wished. 'You involved her in sexual activity which must have had the effect of damaging her even further.' Of the live streaming, the judge said: 'In addition to the degradation of that child, she knows an unknown number of people have had the opportunity to view that degradation.' A third man, Ian McGlasson, 49, of Reading, was jailed for six years for involving the same victim in bondage sessions.

The Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques system, nicknamed SPOT, breaks down body language and demeanor the TSA believes indicates either 'stress' or 'deception'. Mannerisms are assigned points based on their severity and are assessed by trained 'Behavior Detection Officers', who observe passengers as they go through the security checkpoint. Behaviors are given points based on their perceived severity. If you walk through security with a 'face pale from recent shaving of beard' or happen to be yawning or whistling, you can be assigned one point. Scroll down for video . It has been revealed that the Transportation Security Administration uses a behavioral checklist, nicknamed SPOT, to help identify potential terrorists among airport travelers (file photo) A strong body odor, sweaty palms and a bobbing Adam's apple can also get you one point, according to the checklist obtained by The Intercept. Having 'widely open eyes' will get you two points, as will showing 'unusual' interest in a security officer's work routine or having 'identical luggage or dress' to an individual who does not seem related to you. Appearing to be in disguise will get you three points. But you can also get points shaved off. If you appear to be a member of a family or part of a married couple, you get two points deducted from your score. Being a female over 55, or a male over 65, gets you a one point reduction.

Further signs of deception include excessive yawning or perspiration and lacking details about the purpose of one's trip.

So impressed, he located Justin's school and tracked down Pattie and persuaded her to let him work with her son. At the age of 13, Justin traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, with Braun to record a demo tape and one week later he was singing for Usher. Justin signed a recording contract with the famous L.A. Reid and released his debut EP, My World, in November 2009 which went platinum in North America. Justin poses with a fan on the Ellen DeGeneres show on February 19 . Last month, it was revealed that Justin will be the subject of a roast on Comedy Central - a sign that he may finally be ready to stop taking himself so seriously. Pictured: A still from the roast . Justin has a target 'tattooed' on his back to symbolise he will be the target of jokes for the night . TV appearances followed including a performance for President Barack Obama and the first family at the White House and in 2010 he joined the remake of We Are The World to raise money for Haiti, singing the opening line - originally sung by Lionel Richie. Meanwhile Justin was gaining a devoted following of Beliebers, girls who express their devotion to their idol on social media and travel the world following his every move.

+{"article": "Colin Graves says he wants to 'jazz up' Test matches by reducing them to four days . Colin Graves has risked offending cricket\u2019s purists, saying he wants to \u2018jazz up\u2019 Test matches by reducing them to four days from the traditional five. Graves, who takes over as ECB chairman from Giles Clarke on May 15, believes Test cricket faces an identity crisis. And, while he was expressing his personal views only, it seems probable they will get an airing when he meets his international counterparts in the ICC boardroom. \u2018You can\u2019t continue to leave Test cricket as it is,\u2019 Graves told the lords.org website. \u2018If you look at it worldwide, Test cricket is shrinking in the number of people who are watching it on TV and in the grounds. \u2018Somehow, somewhere, there is a way to improve Test cricket. It\u2019s the bastion, but we\u2019ve got to modernise it. We\u2019ve got to jazz it up. \u2018I think we should look at four-day Test cricket and play 105 overs a day starting at half past ten in the morning, with the ground drainage you\u2019ve got now, and finish when you finish, as all the grounds now have lights. \u2018Every Test match would start on a Thursday, so you have two days for corporates, and two days for families. From a cost point of view you\u2019d save that fifth day, which would save a hell of a lot of money from the ground\u2019s point of view and the broadcasters. \u2018In reality, there\u2019s not many people who turn up and watch it on the fifth day.\u2019 Graves\u2019 formula would trim a total of only 30 overs off a Test: the current format is five days of 90 overs each). But it leaves little wriggle room in case of bad weather \u2013 a perennial problem during the British summer. And, while he has a point about poor fifth-day attendances, his plan would risk sacrificing some of the thrilling finishes Test matches have witnessed over the past few years. Only last season the games against Sri Lanka at Lord\u2019s and Headingley both came down to the final over. Stuart Broad celebrates taking the wicket of Dimuth Karunaratne during day five of last season's Test match . An attempt to squeeze in an extra 15 overs a day would not be without its drawbacks either: Test teams habitually struggle to bowl the current minimum of 90 without making use of the extra half-hour allotted to them. Cricket would also lose one of its enduring charms: the deteriorating fifth-day pitch, even if these are less common than they used to be. And that\u2019s all before the broadcasters have their say. At least Graves\u2019s thought process suggests the kind of open-mindedness too often lacking among cricket\u2019s administrators. Too many have harrumphed ineffectually over the future of the Test game in those parts of the world that favour the shorter formats \u2013 only then to announce the formation of yet another domestic Twenty20 tournament.

'Just like a cigarette packet demonstrates the causes of cigarette smoking and its damages, this image demonstrates what the fast food product can do to the human body,' he said.

The most recent ABS statistics show that one-quarter of all Australian children aged 5-17 are overweight or obese.

David Cameron will argue Labour has \u00a315billion of unexplained tax cuts, having voted to back Government plans to save \u00a330billion over five years. Yesterday, the Prime Minister torpedoed Labour's central economic attack by categorically ruling out a rise in VAT. Asked by Ed Miliband at the final Prime Minister's Questions before polling day whether he would rule out a rise in VAT, he replied: 'The answer is yes.' The announcement left Mr Miliband, who appeared unprepared for the 'straight answer' he had demanded, floundering. Scroll down for video . Labour MPs sat stony-faced as Tory MPs roared with laughter when Mr Cameron ruled out a VAT increase . Labour had planned to make the possibility of a Tory VAT rise a key part of the election campaign. It has already drawn up billboards featuring a swinging block of concrete in the shape of the letters VAT. Mr Cameron then challenged Mr Miliband to rule out the prospect of Labour raising national insurance contributions, which it did in 2002. The Labour leader repeatedly declined to do so, saying the Tories would have 'plenty of time to ask questions' after polling day on May 7. However, within two hours of PMQs finishing, Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls issued a different message. 'We will make it clear in the manifesto Labour will not be raising national insurance. That will be a clear pledge from us,' Mr Balls said. Later he ruled out any increase in either the basic or higher rate of income tax. 'We have clear pledges. No rise in VAT under Labour, no rise in the basic and higher rates of income tax under Labour, no rise in national insurance under Labour,' Mr Balls said. 'Our plans add up, theirs don't. As night follows day, if people vote Tory VAT will go up. It always does and it will again.' Conservative sources suggested the party had set a trap for Mr Miliband because Chancellor George Osborne had repeatedly refused to rule out a rise in VAT under questioning from Labour MPs. 'Labour has been panicked today into ruling out tax rises left, right and centre,' said a senior official. 'So where is the \u00a315billion tax bombshell going to fall? It is a safe bet that this is going to feature heavily in our campaign.' Conservative sources said the party had set a trap for Mr Miliband because Chancellor George Osborne two days ago (pictured) declined to give a 'cast-iron guarantee' to match Labour's pledge not to increase VAT . In an echo of slogans in the 1992 election campaign, when John Major defied the polls to win a majority, Mr Cameron said: 'We know there is a tax bombshell coming from Labour \u2026 It would wreck our economy.'

Dunga was handed the responsibility of rebuilding a fallen team from the ashes of a 7-1 semi-final defeat by Germany and 3-0 loss at the hands of Holland. His appointment was a controversial one among Brazil supporters, having guided his country in a lacklustre 2010 World Cup before he was sacked the last time.

The introduction of the Blackjack follows sorties by other Russian aircraft near Cornwall last month which disrupted commercial flights and sparked major security fears. On that occasion, RAF pilots flying Typhoon jets easily caught up with two propeller-driven Bear bombers and directed their crews away from UK airspace. Scroll down for video . The top speed is the same... but our range is less: British Typhoon compared to the Russian Blackjack . The incident led to Russia\u2019s ambassador to Britain being summoned to the Foreign Office to explain the mission. But the Blackjack (Tu-160M) is three times faster than the Bear and can fly four times further than the fighters that make up Britain\u2019s Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) squadrons, according to experts. The bomber, also known as the White Swan because of its shape and huge wingspan, has just re-entered service in the Russian air force following a design overhaul. Experts say it is now more than a match for any UK aircraft, including the Typhoon, which is used to protect British airspace. Like the Blackjack, the Typhoon can reach Mach 2 \u2013 about 1,500mph. Russian President Vladimir Putin (pictured) has prioritised areas of defence where he thinks he can be superior to the West, according to experts . But while the Russian aircraft has a range of 7,600 miles without refuelling, the Typhoon\u2019s limit is 1,800 miles, meaning the Blackjack could maintain its maximum speed for much longer than its British counterpart without air-to-air refuelling. Dr Igor Sutyagin, Senior Russian Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London, said: \u2018The Tu-160M now has greater thrust and fuel efficiency and it can carry a larger payload of conventional missiles. \u2018The test flights were successful and the aircraft is now very potent. There is simply no British aircraft of its calibre or purpose. It is the largest bomber in the world.\u2019 The first two revamped Blackjacks passed a series of test flights last December and have now been passed for service. They are being prepared for possible action at air bases in Russia that are within easy striking distance of Britain.

Owner Dave Whelan, 78, stepped down from his day-to-day duties at the DW Stadium after 20 years this week and entrusted those responsibilities to his young grandson. Although that succession plan had long been in the pipeline for the Whelan family, the fact Sharpe is coming into a position of power at such a tender age still raised eyebrows.

'It's easy to have a throwaway line about a 23-year-old taking over a football club but he's been round about the football club since he was a young man,' said Mackay. 'He's here every day, is at every game and knows the inside of the football club. I look at the experience and the amount of time somebody has been at a football club. Malky Mackay is familiar with Sharpe and believes the 23-year-old will be a good chairman at the club .

Mountain Lion: A mountain lion (photographed) that wandered near a southern California shopping center died after a game warden missed his mark and shot a tranquilizer dart into the animal's lung . The Riverside County Sheriff's Department received several reports of the cat prowling around the mall around 6am and contacted Fish and Wildlife wardens who arrived at around 7am, the Enterprise reports. The game warden shot the male mountain lion with a tranquilizer dart and moved it to the bed of a pickup truck to be released back into the wild,The Los Angeles Times reports. The lion died while it was being transported and no one knew why. However, recent necropsy results show that the male cat, otherwise healthy, stopped breathing shortly after being darted. Kevin Brennan, a biologist with the Fish and Wildlife department, told the Enterprise that in most circumstances, wardens don't have the luxury of waiting for the perfect shot. Breathing: Necropsy results show that the male cat, otherwise healthy, stopped breathing shortly after being darted . He said that though the tranquilizer is safe when entering a muscle tissue, it can be fatal when delivered to the heart or lungs. Brennan said that the animal was not menacing to humans and the biggest threat it posed was the possibility of creating a traffic hazard. Wardens intended to release it safely back into the wild, and Brennan said that it is always better if wardens don't have to 'chemically immobilize' an animal. Usually, wardens attempt to simply chase mountain lions away from a populated area if there is a safe route available, but in this case, there was no good exit for the cat, as he had wandered into the middle of town, Brennan said.

Her role as Assistant Commissioner was a far cry from her humble beginnings in the force as a bobby on the beat in 1983. In a new BBC documentary, she and other female police officers have revealed how they had to overcome rampant sexism in their bids to follow their dream careers. Cressida Dick became Britain's highest ever-ranking policewoman . On A Fair Cop: A Century of British Policewomen, which airs this evening on BBC4, Cressida said: '1983 seems like a very long time ago. I loved it but it was incredibly different. There were some women detectives but they tended to be one in an office or in a crime squad.' Many of the former police officers interviewed in the show said the lack of equality with male officers even put them in danger as they weren't allowed to carry weapons and had to wear skirts, which hindered their movements. WPC Mary Routledge recalls: 'Women were expected to do same role as men without equipment. Once I was sent to guard 10 Downing Street at the last minute. 'When I was there, a security officer asked me where my gun was. I said \"I haven't got one.\" He replied \"what will you guard the PM with?\" So I said my handbag.' It was situations like these that led her to resign in 1974. She explained: 'We were being put in positions that a man would be put in but we weren't being given equipment. 'I was embarrassed at the thought of a male officer being injured looking after me, I couldn't have that on my conscience.' PC Suzie Ranyard, 34, left, works as an armed response officer one hundred years after Margaret Damer Dawson, right, helped form the Women's Police Service. Then the women had no official uniform or weapons . Many of the female officers were exposed to sexist comments on a daily basis and one of the worst crimes they could commit was to want to become a working mother. Della Cannings, a WPC with Devon and Cornwall Police, reveals: 'One superintendent told me it was better to employ a police dog than a policewoman because the dog stayed for longer in the organisation than women and they didn't answer back.' She revealed how when she wanted to marry, she had to ask the permission of her senior officer and it was noted at the time that it would be the end of her career. This was also something Barbara Franklin experienced when she joined Northumbria Police in 1982. She said: 'There was a lot of sexism. I had a male detective inspector and every day my first job was to take him a cup of tea, put it on his desk and curtsy before I left his office.'

'I will go to my grave not remembered for those meaty roles I did for the likes of John Ford or Steven Spielberg, but as the leading man in a film that many movie historians regard as the worst of all time. It's enough to drive a puritan to drink!' Walcott said the director had 'etched his name forever in the annals of film history.' The science fiction cult classic was panned by critics when it came out in 1959 and was widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made. Writer and director Wood cut unused footage of Bela Lugosi after the horror legend died. He then used his wife's chiropractor as a stand in for other scenes using a cape to hide his face- despite his being nearly bald and significantly taller than the deceased actor. The low-budget film also featured poor special effects such as flying saucers dangling from visible strings, ropey sets and laughable dialogue. Walcott had refused the role of alien-fighting pilot Jeff Trent at first, describing the script as 'gibberish.' But he was later persuaded that his name could add a little credibility to the film and agreed to star- without his agent's knowledge. It was a decision that came back to haunt him as he was consigned to the annals of film history for that very role. Walcott had refused had refused the role of alien-fighting pilot Jeff Trent in the low-budget film which also featured poor special effects such as flying saucers dangling from visible strings, ropey sets and laughable dialogue .

Brown's tenacity and watertight defence were missed in Sunday's 19-9 defeat by Ireland after he suffered a double setback during the return to play protocols having been knocked out against Italy. The 29-year-old will undertake full contact training on Thursday and is on course to be given the green light 24 hours later to face the winless Scots at Twickenham on March 14. Mike Brown has been suffering from concussion and missed England's defeat in Ireland last week . Brown was knocked out while tackling Italy's Andrea Masi at Twickenham last month . 'We're pretty confident about Mike. He's had a reasonable amount of time now and certainly all the signs from everyone, including from Mike himself, is that he's back to 100 per cent,' head coach Stuart Lancaster said. 'He has to tick the final box and then I'm sure he'll be training on Friday. He has been symptom free since last week.' Alex Goode deputised for Brown on the afternoon England's Grand Slam dream evaporated at the Aviva Stadium and while he produced some fine moments, he was out-jumped during Robbie Henshaw's try in the key moment of the match. Goode will play for Saracens at Wasps on Sunday, after which Lancaster insists he will make a call on who starts at full-back against Scotland when the Red Rose seek to revive their title aspirations. 'Both Mike and Alex will compete for that 15 shirt next week,' Lancaster said. 'Mike has a lot of experience and does bring a lot to the team, but Alex had a good game against Ireland and dealt with the high balls well. 'If you see Johnny Sexton against other teams, he always seems to find grass with his tactical kicking but Alex managed to cover all those eventualities.

Inside centre Luther Burrell has a calf injury but Lancaster is 'reasonably optimistic' he will resume training on Tuesday.

+{"article": "A top health insurance expert with the Department of Health and Human Services said Monday that she doesn't know what portion of Americans who have left the ranks of the uninsured did it by buying policies on Obamacare exchanges. In a conference call for reporters, Office of Health Reform director Dr. Meena Seshamani boasted about new Gallup survey data that indicates 'the uninsured rate dropped from 20.3 percent to 13.2 percent' between the beginning of Obamacare's open enrollment and March 4, 2015 . That's less than a 35 per cent dent in the uninsured ranks. President Barack Obama campaigned in 2007 and 2008 on the promise of a medical insurance law 'that will cover every American.' And the 'reduction in the uninsured,' Seshamani said, 'could be through any of a number of avenues.' UNDERPERFORMING? HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell presides over an Obamacare system that has managed so far to change the status of barely one-third of America's uninsured . TAX BITE FOR MANY: Portions of about 4.5 million Obamacare insurance subsidies will have to be paid back this year . She listed a few, beginning with new coverage from empoyers \u2013 including among people who changed jobs \u2013 along with Medicaid and 'the individual market outside the [Obamacare] marketplace.' The question of how many American consumers have gained medical insurance through Obamacare marketplaces themselves has become a sticking point in the ongoing political battle over the controversial law. HHS reported Monday that '14.1 million adults gained health insurance coverage since the beginning of open enrollment in October, 2013.' Another 2.3 million 'young adults' under age 26 gained coverage through their parents' policies, an option that wasn't available to them previously. HHS Office of Health Reform director Dr. Meena Seshamani touted new Obamacare numbers but wouldn't say how many people have become insured specifically because of the law's marketplaces . But CBO estimates in January held that Medicaid, a taxpayer-funded benefit for the poor, enrolled more than 7 million new customers in the same period \u2013 nearly 43 per cent of the total HHS listed in Monday's report. The congressional bean-counting agency's latest estimates hold that the Affordable Care Act will cost $1.2 trillion over 10 years to administer and fund with subsidies. That's about $3,770 for every American man, woman and child. Monday's numbers came from HHS's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, which analyzed data collected through March 14 from a Gallup-Healthways 'Well-Being Index' survey. Dr. Richard Frank, the Office of Health Reform's assistant director for planning and evaluation, told reporters Monday that HHS has no idea how low it will be able to drive the uninsured rate, notwithstanding the president's campaign pledges. 'It's important to recognize that we're in entirely new territory here. ... We're treading new areas and we're just starting to understand more completely who we've brought in and who is left uncovered,' Frank said.

By coincidence we had pitched up together to review the 14th in the Sandals chain. Neither of us had been before, but Couples Only? Weddings on the beach? Charlotte and I, both hard-bitten travellers, were set to sneer. Sandals La Source has 225 suites spread over three \u2018villages\u2019 in a small sandy bay.

The island\u2019s recent peaceful history has emerged from two tempests. One was a natural phenomenon, Hurricane Ivan, that struck in September 2004 and destroyed 85 per cent of houses and vegetation, including Grenada\u2019s precious nutmeg trees. Sandals La Source is situated on a sandy bay on mountainous Grenada, an island just 12 by 21 miles . Among the resort's shared facilities is three freshwater swimming pools including this in the 'Pink Gin' village . The second was political: the 1983 Marxist coup in which Prime Minister Maurice Bishop was killed \u2013 a move that prompted Ronald Reagan to land 6,000 US troops on what was part of the Commonwealth. My father was a Foreign Office diplomat at the time, and he recalls meeting the Queen shortly after the invasion. She was furious. Charlotte and I find the scale of the resort overwhelming. There are nine restaurants, several bars, and even an English pub.

The firm, which has more than 270 stores across the world, regularly has its raunchy ads banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). In 2012 the firm had a string of ads banned in four different rulings after using photos of women exposing their breasts, showing off their bare bums and posing with their legs spread in its ad campaigns. This American Apparel advert featuring an underage-looking model has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority . And this week, the ASA again banned an advert showing a flame-haired model wearing a \u00a330 spandex thong bodysuit covered with lipstick prints. One person had complained to the ASA saying they believed the model in question looked under the age of 16 and that it was 'irresponsible and offensive' as it 'sexualised a model' who appeared to be underage. Bosses at the ASA said that despite American Apparel saying the model was 20 years old, she looked 'youthful' and that the ad was irresponsible. It stated: 'We considered the model had a youthful appearance and that some consumers were likely to regard her as being younger than 16 years of age. 'The model was shown looking back at the camera over her shoulder with her buttocks visible. The campaign featured more than one picture of the girl in the bodysuit to '[depict] the thong from various angles' 'We considered that readers were likely to interpret the model's expression and pose as being sexual in nature. 'In conjunction with the youthful appearance of the model, we considered the ad could be seen to sexualise a child. 'We therefore concluded that the ad was irresponsible and was likely to cause serious offence.' It added: 'The ad must not appear again in its current form. 'We told American Apparel (UK) Ltd to ensure future ads did not include images that inappropriately sexualised young women or were likely to cause serious offence.' Bosses at the clothing firm said the the model was 20 and that the ad 'depicted the thong from various angles'. This isn't the first time that American Apparel has been in trouble for their adverts. Last September, a campaign for the fashion brand American Apparel has been banned for \u2018sexualising school-age girls\u2019. Photographs of its \u2018School Days\u2019 range included a young woman bending over in an ultra- short tartan skirt with her white underwear on display.

It also accused the firm of promoting seedy \u2018up-skirt\u2019 photographs \u2013 when unauthorised pictures are taken from beneath a woman\u2019s skirt.

The Victorian government euthanised 686 koalas at Cape Otway, about 230km southwest of Melbourne, in 2013 and 2014 in response to overpopulation in manna gum woodlands in the area. The koalas, many of which were starving, were killed via lethal injection after being captured in trees. Animal activists are furious and have condemned the government for their 'cruel' treatment of koalas and questioned why the program was conducted in secret. Hundreds of koalas have been killed in secret by wildlife officials in Victoria due to concerns over starvation . The Victorian government euthanised 686 koalas at Cape Otway, about 230km southwest of Melbourne . During three separate operations, veterinarians captured and sedated koalas to assess their health. Koalas suffering starvation were euthanised, while healthy koalas were released back into the wild and healthy females were treated with control hormone implants. The cull is said to have occurred in secret to avoid a backlash from activists and locals. Australian Koala Foundation chief Deborah Tabart OAM said she had heard rumours that koalas were being killed but had never had proof until now. 'I want somebody charged,' Ms Tabart said. 'The Australian government over my whole career has said there will never be a cull in Australia ever. 'It's cruel and mean to koalas and pays no respect for the role they play in tourism - how dare they treat this animal with that sort of level of disrespect. Australian Koala Foundation chief Deborah Tabart OAM questioned why the program was conducted in secret . 'And if they are so proud of what they were doing why was it done in secret?' Koala expert Dr Desley Whisson, who advised the government on the euthanasia program, said that the objective was to humanely deal with suffering koalas rather than reduce population size. Ms Tabart said more should have been done in previous years to stop the problem from escalating . 'Watching an animal starve to death is a horrible thing,' Dr Whisson, from Deakin University, told Daily Mail Australia. 'For every one koala that was euthanised there were probably two or three that starved without intervention. 'It at least was a good thing to put them out of their misery.' Dr Whisson said moving the population to other areas or conducting fertility control programs were expensive options. 'A lot of people ask why we can't just move the koalas somewhere else, but I think it's important to recognise the translocation koalas often has a negative impact,' she said. 'A large number would die, and they don't want to move from manna gum. 'It's sort of a lose-lose situation all round.' Dr Whisson said the problem in the manna gum woodland at Cape Otway was caused after koalas were introduced to the area in the 1980s from French Island.

Sir John said: \u2018The SNP would enter into any agreement with Labour with one overriding aim: To break up the United Kingdom. It is shameful that Labour have not already ruled out even the suggestion. \u2018They would be relying on support from a party that will use every strategy it can to break free from the UK. \u2018Labour now have to make a choice,\u2019 he wrote in today\u2019s Daily Telegraph. \u2018They must summon the courage of their convictions and declare their intent. \u2018The British people \u2013 north and south of the border \u2013 do not deserve to be misled. \u2018If the outcome of the General Election is inconclusive, will they refuse to govern with the support of a party whose principal aim is to break up the United Kingdom?\u2019 Sir John, who was Prime Minister between 1990 to 1997, last night urged Ed Miliband (pictured) to \u2018summon the courage\u2019 to formally rule out any deal . As prime minister, Sir John warned that devolution could lead to Scotland\u2019s independence. He said he was now speaking out as \u2018an Englishman with a profound admiration and respect for Scotland\u2019. \u2018At Westminster, SNP minds would not be focused on the well-being of the United Kingdom, but on their own party interests,\u2019 he added. \u2018In collaboration, the two parties would make common cause at the expense of their natural enemies. For Labour, that will be to pick the pockets of the Tory shires; and for the SNP, to boost Scotland at the expense of the rest of the UK.\u2019 Ed Miliband is facing increasing demands from senior Labour figures to rule out a power-sharing deal with the SNP. Senior MPs are demanding the Labour leader uses a keynote speech at the Scottish Labour conference in Edinburgh tomorrow to make his position clear.

When Claire Crisp agreed to have her three-year-old daughter Mathilda vaccinated against swine flu, she believed she was doing the best to protect her from a life-threatening pandemic. In 2009, all children under five were invited to be vaccinated in a nationwide scheme. Fortunately, the much-feared 2009-2010 outbreak never reached the pandemic scale expected. But Claire is convinced that the vaccine against it has left Mathilda with severe narcolepsy. Mathilda is the youngest known person in the world to be diagnosed with the neurological condition, which causes sufferers to suddenly fall asleep during the day. Mathilda also had terrifying nocturnal hallucinations and excruciating pain.Now she is part of a protracted legal battle against the Government for compensation for vaccine-related narcolepsy. Last week, their case went to court on appeal. This wrangling has continued despite the fact the Government\u2019s scientists admitted two years ago that the vaccine, Pandemrix, could cause narcolepsy, having previously denied any link. In a statistical investigation, published in the British Medical Journal, they found children given the vaccine were 14 times more likely to have developed narcolepsy than unvaccinated children. Claire, 44, a former NHS physiotherapist, thought she was playing safe when she had Mathilda vaccinated. Doctors had suggested her daughter could be at particular risk from respiratory trouble from swine flu because she was born with a minor throat condition, laryngomalacia, which obstructs breathing. Children normally grow out of it by three. \u2018We took the swine flu risk seriously since Mathilda had only recently outgrown laryngomalacia,\u2019 says Claire, who also has a son, Elliot, and another daughter, Liberty. NHS clinics administered more than 900,000 doses of Pandemrix in 2009 and 2010. Mathilda\u2019s first troubling symptoms developed within two weeks. Her sleep became disturbed, leaving her exhausted in the day. Then she began to suffer from hallucinations at night, thinking there were demons in her bedroom. \u2018The symptoms just got worse \u2014 she wasn\u2019t sleeping at night, and sleeping and crying all day,\u2019 says Claire. \u2018Nearly every time I turned round in the day, she was asleep. \u2018She was slurring her words. She could not walk in a straight line, she suffered excruciating leg pains. She also became incontinent.\u2019 Then she developed cataplexy, where she\u2019d become temporarily paralysed for seconds by emotional triggers such as happiness or surprise, though staying conscious. \u2018Her brother would say a joke and she would fall down,\u2019 says Claire. Within six months, Claire and her husband Oliver, a professor of theology, were housebound caring for Mathilda. She was taken to a children\u2019s hospital for what Claire calls \u2018a series of failed visits\u2019. Initially, doctors thought she had a brain tumour, but after tests they ruled that out. \u2018The doctors quickly wrote us off as an anxious mother and a pain-in-the-a*** child.\u2019 The family was being referred to a psychiatric unit when a locum doctor from India diagnosed narcolepsy, which normally appears at around the age of 15.

Prison officials only have enough pentobarbital for the scheduled executions of Manuel Vasquez on Wednesday and Randall Mays on March 18, but they don't know how they will conduct lethal injections on four others scheduled for April. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice declined to say why it has not been able to obtain more pentobarbital from the same compounding pharmacy that provided the current batch of the powerful sedative last March.

Manuel Vasquez, left, is scheduled to be injected on Wednesday while Randall Mays (right) will be executed on March 18 . Texas prison execute inmates in chambers like this one. But with limited pentobarbital, the state is looking into other options for execution . The state switched to that source several months after its previous supplier cut ties, citing hate mail and potential litigation after its name became public through an open records request from The Associated Press. Prison officials have since waged a legal battle to keep the name of its latest supplier secret, but it's unclear how much longer they can do so after a state judge last year ordered the agency to divulge the source. That ruling is on hold pending the outcome of the state's appeal. Prisons spokesman Jason Clark said the state's lawyers have advised the agency not to comment on whether the current supplier has backed out or whether the judge's order has affected its ability to find a supplier. Although Texas, traditionally the nation's busiest death penalty state, faces the most imminent deadline for replenishing its pentobarbital supply, other states are experiencing similar problems. For example, South Carolina ran out of pentobarbital \u2014 part of its three-drug execution formula \u2014 when the drug expired in 2013. The state has been unable to replenish its supplies because it can't find a company willing to sell them anymore, according to Corrections Director Bryan Stirling. The state's last execution was in 2011, and no new executions have been scheduled because cases are tied up in the appeals process. Kent Sprouse (pictured) is scheduled to be the next inmate to be executed after Mays. He is on death row for the shooting deaths of a North Texas police officer and another man in 2002 . If Texas executes Vasquez and Mays as scheduled, a new supply of pentobarbital will be needed by April 9 when Kent Sprouse is scheduled to die for the shooting deaths of a North Texas police officer and another man in 2002.

+{"article": "From peacocks to birds of paradise, male birds are well known for showing off their brightly coloured plumage as a way of attracting a mate. However, new research has suggested that males birds may actually be growing less distinct from their female counterparts over time. The findings challenge a key element of the evolutionary theory that was first proposed by Charles Darwin 156 years ago. Male and female Choco Toucan's (pictured above) both share the same brightly coloured plumage, suggesting another force other than sexual selection is driving the evolution of bright colours in feathers of some birds . Rather than the bright colours of male birds appearing because of sexual selection - where a trait evolves over time because it is seen as attractive or a signal of fitness by the opposite sex - other forces of natural selection are at work. The researchers say that the environment a species lives in, how it cares of its young and migratory behaviour appear to influence a species plumage. Peacock tails may be hard to miss, but humans are unaware of the noise created by the bird's pretty plumage. Scientists have shown that peacocks shake their tails to make a noise that is too low for us to hear. Male birds may make the infrared rumble to scare off an approaching rival or to attract a mate. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, have shown that the birds make infrasound noises - below 20 hertz - using their tails and that other peacocks respond to them. Most humans hear noises between 20 and 20,000 hertz. When peacocks shake their tale feathers, most humans hear a rustling sound. But the scienitsts found that the birds hear a loud sound of between 70 and 108 decibels, according to the study published in the journal Animal Behaviour. Male and female peacocks became more alert and moved around when the low noises were played back to them by researchers, with males shrieking out in response. Experts are unsure how the birds detect infrasound, but know that some can feel vibration through their legs. Professor Peter Dunn, a biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, said: 'A lot of research has focused on how plumage color is related to mating success, especially in males. 'so this should hopefully get researchers to think more about how color affects survival, especially predation and foraging success, in both sexes.' The debate over the differences in colour between species of birds has raged ever since the time of Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. While Darwin based his theory of sexual selection on the idea that brightly coloured males were preferred by females, giving them a competitive advantage, Wallace pointed out that in many species females are as brilliantly coloured as the male. He suggested instead that the differences between the sexes - known as sexual dichromatism - were the result of females needing better camouflage to prevent their nests from being raided by predators. Some scientists have also puzzled at how bright plumage in males can have evolved when it", "summary": "Study was conducted by researchers at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee .

'When they arrived we were all very excited, they will definitely be going up as pride of place in our houses. 'It is incredible to think we are the oldest family in the world. I knew we were a big family but to be over 1,000 years old is a remarkable achievement.'

The gap between the rich and poor in big cities in the United States is still widening. The map above shows the most equal and unequal cities, according to a new report by the Brookings Institution . Nationwide the rich took home around 9.3 times more money - approximately $200,234 in comparison to $21,433. But in big cities it was up to 11.6 times more with top earners pocketing $221,700 and lower income households only taking home $19,143. The data showed the average wage for top earners in Atlanta was $288,159 - nearly $274,000 more than the bottom fifth's earnings. The income gap was also large in San Francisco, Boston and Miami, with San Francisco boasting the highest earnings for the wealthy at $423,171. Rich households in Washington were the only others to top $300,000. The nation's most equal city is Virginia Beach, where the rich only take home around six times more. Colorado Springs, Mesa and Oklahoma City are also fairly equal. In total 31 of the 50 largest cities had lower incomes in 2013 than they did in 2007 before the recession.

But the report concluded: 'These findings confirm that income inequality remains a salient issue in many big cities today. 'While the minimum wage is a potentially important means for helping low-earner households living in high-cost places, local policy-makers should not ignore other tools they have at hand - from education to economic development to housing and zoning policies - that are essential for improving social mobility and sustaining income diversity in big cities today.'", "summary": "Analysis by the Brookings Institution shows Atlanta is most unequal city .

But that didn\u2019t stop Brendan Rodgers taking him from Southampton for \u00a34m last summer. Perhaps at that price it was worth taking a punt on Lambert but the former Bristol Rovers frontman has had no tangible effect on the side and been reduced to becoming a glorified lump up front in the final moments if Liverpool are chasing a game. Rickie Lambert's dream move to Liverpool hasn't worked out the way he would have hoped .

But the influence of ex-chief executive Derek Llambias continues to be felt in the Blue Room as the new board of directors stumble across a series of strategically-placed landmines. One particularly nasty surprise exploded into the public domain on Tuesday as it emerged the price of promotion to the Premiership for Rangers will include an extra \u00a3500,000 payable to Mike Ashley. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley will be laughing all the way to the bank if Rangers win promotion . Ashley will receive payment for the loan of five Newcastle players including Haris Vuckic (centre), Gael Bigirimana (left) and Remie Streete . That sizeable sum is in return for Ashley loaning the Ibrox club five of his Newcastle United players; four of whom turned out to be either injured, ill or unfit. Of course, the long-suffering Rangers fans have grown wearily accustomed to their club being treated with contempt while ruthless businessman Ashley lines his pockets. The support have witnessed the Newcastle United owner\u2019s placemen sell the naming rights to their beloved Ibrox for just \u00a31 \u2013 albeit Ashley subsequently gave up those rights amid a backlash from the rank and file. They then watched in disbelief as a deal was sanctioned with the billionaire\u2019s Sports Direct firm that sees just 75 pence of every \u00a310 spent on Rangers merchandise going to the club. But Tuesday's revelation in the club\u2019s latest accounts is perhaps the most depressing example of the callous regard in which the outgoing board viewed the Ibrox club. In a scenario that\u2019s being viewed at Rangers as \u2018vindictive, it\u2019s believed that Rangers\u2019 own medical staff were overruled by Llambias when they insisted on medicals for the five loan Rangers. Had that happened, Rangers would have found Remie Streete and Shane Ferguson were in no state to play while Kevin Mbabu was patently unfit. Streete duly limped off 45 minutes into his debut after Llambias had ordered caretaker manager Kenny McDowall to start him. Proper testing would also have shown that Gael Bigirimana was ill, with a condition that had already been diagnosed by medics at Newcastle. Vuckic has been the only player loaned from Newcastle that has been a success at Ibrox . 20-year-old defender Streete suffered an injury in his one and only first-team appearance for Rangers . Of the five loan Rangers, midfielder Haris Vuckic has been the sole success - but campaigning Rangers fan Craig Houston says the situation jars when he recalls the sale of star player Lewis Macleod to Brentford in January. \u2018That was done on the pretext they were protecting the future of Rangers,\u2019 said Houston of the Sons of Struth supporters group. \u2018But I believe they only got \u00a3250,000 for Macleod and then they shell out \u00a3500,000 for five loan players. \u2018Macleod would add more to the team than Vuckic.

A homeless man shot dead by the LAPD stole a Frenchman's identity more than 15 years ago and was wanted for violating terms of a bank robbery conviction, officials said last night. Charley Saturmin Robinet, 39, was killed on Los Angeles' impoverished Skid Row when he allegedly tried to grab the holstered pistol of an officer while police arrested him on Sunday. The shooting was caught by an onlooker on a video that went viral, leading to protests and calls by civil rights activists for a special police commission hearing on the use of force. Originally thought to be French, officials now say Robinet stole the identity of a Frenchman with the same name and birth date to apply for a French passport in the 1990s, when he came to the U.S. to pursue an acting career. His true identity remains unknown, said Axel Cruau, the consul general for France in Los Angeles. According to the consulate's account, Robinet was identified as a French national in 2000 when robbed a Wells Fargo branch in Thousand Oaks, some 40 miles west of downtown Los Angeles, and pistol-whipped an employee. He served around 13 years in prison for the crime, in which he, an accomplice and getaway driver stole $33,500 in a bid to pay for acting classes at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. But when the French consulate tried to support him ahead of his 2013 release, officials discovered the original Robinet and realised the prisoner was an imposter.

After his release from federal prison Robinet spent six months in a halfway house before being fully released in May 2014, said Ed Ross, a spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons. Foreign nationals are usually deported after serving their sentences, but France would not take him because he could not prove was French. Because of a 2001 Supreme Court ruling on the rights of 'stateless' people, Robinet was set free.

+{"article": "Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz laid down a marker Tuesday on global warming, saying that denying human activity is heating the planet makes him a renegade truth-teller in the mold of the Renaissance astronomer Galileo Galilei. Climate activists, he said in a half-hour videotaped interview, 'brand you a heretic' if you disagree with them. 'Today the global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers,' he told the Texas Tribune. 'It used to be: \"It is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat.\" And this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier,' Cruz said. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . Texas Tribune political reporter Jay Root's one-on-one interview in New York City with U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas' junior senator and the nation's first declared 2016 presidential candidate, included a series of jabs about global warming . 'DENIERS': Ted Cruz says his dissent about climate change is like the 17th century astronomer Galileo's refusal to believe the Sun revolved around the Earth . The comments will likely stoke the U.S. environmental movement's opposition to a Cruz presidency \u2013 which was likely to be present anyway if he should become the GOP's 2016 nominee. 'It's not like Friends of the Earth was going to endorse him, and now suddenly they're not,' an Iowa Republican political consultant told Daily Mail Online, describing Cruz as 'a smart guy whose new pronouncements will cost him nothing.' Americans, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday, ranked climate change at the bottom of a list of six environmental concerns, with those saying they care a 'great deal' falling by 2 percentage points since last year. 'Even as global warming has received greater attention as an environmental problem from politicians and the media in recent years,' pollsters wrote, 'Americans' worry about it is no higher now than when Gallup first asked about it in 1989.' And then there's Galileo: The story goes that he aroused the ire of Rome by contradicting Catholic Church teaching at the time, which held that the Sun revolved around the Earth. He was forced under pain of death in 1633 to recant his claim that the Earth revolved around the Sun, but calmly said after his release from a dungeon: 'Eppur si muove' \u2013 Italian for, 'And yet it still moves.' Cruz's 'flat-Earther' epithet is likely misplaced, since Galileo never staked his career on a claim that the Earth itself was round. That was well-known by the time he was an influential scientist. But the Texas senator's Galileo analogy is a direct slap at environmentalists, calculated to set him apart from more moderate Republicans expected to enter the presidential race soon. Cruz can fire up his base and raise money quickly, the Iowa consultant said, by 'casting himself as a swashbuckling crusader' against the economic impacts of limits on carbon emissions. 'You know, we shouldn't be causing millions of hard-working men and women to have their energy bills go through the roof,' Cruz said Tuesday, talking about what he sees as the result of government climate policy. 'It causes real harm and suffering when people", "summary": "In Texas interview, he says it was once 'accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier' Claims 50-year swing from 'global cooling' to 'global warming' and then to 'climate change' shows liberals just want to control the US economy .

Leo Radcliffe\u2019s mother had rung NHS Direct after the five-month-old boy was taken ill overnight with a high temperature and heavy breathing. A call handler from the privately run Go-To-Doc scheme passed the call to duty GP Dr Jason Tahghighi with a message saying he needed to visit the family because they had no transport to get to hospital or money for a taxi.

However, Chinese state media says the figure could be as high as 200,000, according to the BBC. Baby boys, who are preferred in China because they\u2019ll ensure the family name remains intact, can sell for as much as \u00a310,500. In a bid to evade the spotlight of the police, child traffickers in recent years have turned to the internet to do their selling. Last year hundreds of babies were rescued by police in China after a crackdown was launched on trafficking infants. The nationwide bust saw 1,094 people arrested as officers acted on information relating to four major internet-based baby trafficking rings. China's Public Security Ministry said 382 babies were rescued after four websites were found to be selling children under the guise of adoption. Baby boys, who are preferred in China because they\u2019ll ensure the family name remains intact, can sell for as much as \u00a310,500 . Some critics say the trade is fuelled by the country\u2019s one-child policy. The strict laws limit many families to one child, and with boys being favoured as heirs to the family name, many female babies are sold - typically fetching half the amount boys do - aborted or abandoned. Poverty fuels the trade, while illicit profits tempts traffickers, resulting in a thriving market for babies and toddlers. An investigation by the BBC revealed the plight of one father, Xiao Chaohua, who has not seen his son since February 2007 after he disappeared from their home in Huizhou, aged five. Since then Mr Chaohua has scoured the nation and even taken out TV adverts in an effort to find him, but to no avail. He claims that the problem of trafficking can only be eradicated if tougher laws are brought in to punish those to buy kidnapped children. Presently, they face a three-year jail term if caught, but it\u2019s claimed that many never find themselves in trouble over their actions.", "summary": "Child trafficking a long-standing problem in China despite efforts of police .

Border authorities did not release the man's identity, which was later confirmed by a local medical examiner. He is thought to be from British Columbia. Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo said that he was wanted in connection to a murder. Childress was set to stand trial for 2013 assault and mischief charges on Tuesday in Prince George, British Columbia, according to the Abbotsford BC News. He was also set to face charges for theft later this year. It was not clear where the murder he is connected to took place. Lawyer Michael Reed represented Childress previously and said that he was surprised by news of a murder charge, The Canadian Press reported. Reed expressed 'disbelief' about the incident. 'People cross the international border to bring crime and violence to our communities,' said at a news conference.

The 1960s saw the birth of the sugary cereal, while motorway service stations became almost fashionable as places to eat. Vesta convenience meals were available and the more adventurous home cooks could buy exotic foreign ingredients such as garlic and olive oil \u2013 from the chemist.

In the 1970s, working women were learning to balance their careers with cooking for the family. The decade also saw the rise of the Pot Noodle. In the 1980s goats cheese, mange tout and kiwi fruit became the foods to impress your dinner party guests. Gourmet dishes and nouvelle cuisine took over from the simple but hearty dishes of earlier decades. By the 1990s, sushi and curry were as popular as traditional English dishes and ready meals became the norm. The programme also shows how fridges, freezers, microwaves and even televisions revolutionised the way the country ate, and how the rise of supermarkets changed shopping forever.

'The way we do that is not important. So if we win games very ugly I like that. We will play very negative if the need is there.' Advocaat has given his players the early part of the week off, an agreed rest period which is the legacy of Gus Poyet's ill-fated reign. The Dutchman joked that the club don't have too many international players so their preparations for the visit of North-East rivals Newcastle a week on Sunday will not be disrupted.

Sunderland winger Adam Johnson prepares to strike the ball after coming on as a substitute on Saturday . For Advocaat, it is arguably his most winnable game of the eight remaining. Defeat is not an option. 'Being at home in derbies gives a big advantage,' he added. 'I know the intensity of these games \u2014 I was involved many times in Rangers against Celtic. 'I made the mistake of perhaps not realising that at first and I lost 5-1. 'But Newcastle for us now is the most important thing.

However the risk of stroke in young women is small and strokes caused by pregnancy and childbirth are rare. It has been estimated that a stroke during pregnancy affects eight out of every 100,000 women.

Ms Chai says they moved their home to Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, before separating last year and therefore decisions should be made in an English court. And she claims Dr Khoo is making a 'desperate attempt' to avoid fighting over money in an English court. A number of judges have analysed the dispute at hearings in the Family Division of the High Court in London, and three Court of Appeal judges are due to consider the case at a hearing in July. Lord Justice McFarlane today considered a number of preliminary legal issues prior to that hearing. The judge was told that Dr Khoo owed Ms Chai around \u00a3400,000 he had been ordered to pay to cover her living expenses and legal fees pending final decisions on money.

European Jews are living in fear 'like the 1930s', the World Jewish Congress leader has warned as he called on the U.S. to speak out against the rise of anti-Semitism across the continent. Ronald Lauder - the billionaire son of Estee Lauder - told a congressional committee in Washington that America must take the lead against the surge in anti-Semitic incidents in Europe in order to 'defeat the new flame of Islamic terror'. He pointed to the strong line taken by European leaders in the wake of attacks like those seen in Paris, Toulouse and Copenhagen earlier this year, and urged the U.S. to follow in their footsteps. 'Once again, like the 1930s, European Jews live in fear,' said Lauder. 'The United States can and must speak loudly and clearly to condemn this evil for what it is - the radical Islamic hatred of Jews.' Mr Lauder, who has led the World Jewish Congress since 2007, pointed to the fact Jews make up just one per cent of France's population, yet were victim to half the country's racist attacks. He also noted that anti-Semitic attacks have not only doubled in France in the past year, but also in the UK and Austria. He stressed: 'To defeat this new flame of radical Islamic terror and survive... the United States must lead.' Mr Lauder also revealed a recent meeting with Jewish leaders in Rome had revealed they believed the Italian capital would have no Jewish community within 25 years. According to Forbes, Mr Lauder claimed they say their children and grandchildren will look for more welcoming countries in which to make their homes in in the future. 'There is a hatred growing throughout Europe that is causing Jews to wonder if they should leave. They are asking if there is a future for Jews on that continent,' he told the committee. Terror: The recent attacks in Paris (pictured), Toulouse and Copenhagen have left many in fear . Fear: Lauder says Jews are living in fear 'like the 1930s' after incidents like the Copenhagen attack (pictured) Mr Lauder was joined by two other members of the WJC, which represents Jewish communities in 100 countries, who echoed his fears. Dan Asmussen, a Danish Jewish leader, noted Danish society 'itself is not and has never been anti-Semitic and many of the threats facing Danish Jewry - like in the rest of Europe - come from marginalized and radicalized Muslims, and these form a small minority of all Muslims in Denmark.' Roger Cukierman, a French Jewish leader, added: 'This is a war against Western modern civilization. And the Jews are seen by these Jihadists as a privileged target. 'We Jews are the sentinels at the forefront of this war. But we are not the only victims.

+{"article": "The missing Philae space probe that bumped down onto the surface of a comet 284 million miles from Earth could wake up from today. Scientists at the European Space Agency have restarted efforts to listen for a signal from the stricken lander on comet 67p/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. They lost contact with the washing-machine sized spacecraft in November last year after it bounced several times before landing in a hollow below a cliff. Starved of the sunlight it needed to power its suite of experiments, the lander's batteries went flat after around just 60 hours on the surface. ESA scientists have renewed efforts to contact the Philae lander on Comet 67p, shown in the illustration above . However, as the comet has travelled closer to the sun in its journey through the solar system, researchers hope Philae will get enough light to come back to life. 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\u2013Gerasimenko 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 1 metre (40 inches) 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. Scientists recently said that water on the comet was different to that on Earth - suggesting water on our world came from an asteroid, not a comet. The European Space Agency has now turned on the communication unit on the Rosetta spacecraft that is orbiting the comet. Stephen Ulamec, lander project manager at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), said: 'Philae currently receives about twice as much solar energy as it did in November last year. 'It will probably still be too cold for the lander to wake up, but it is worth trying. The prospects will improve with each passing day.' Comet 67p is now 186 million miles (300 million km) from the sun. Scientists hope that as the comet rotates and gets closer to the sun, Philae's solar panels will move out of the shade of the cliff it is resting under. Philae touched down on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 12 November, but rather than landing softly, the failure of its harpoons and thrusters saw it bounce twice. It first bounced to a height of 0.62 miles (1km) and then 65ft (20 metres) before finally coming to rest at an angle on uneven ground. Blurry images captured the the spacecraft movement through the air. Scientists described the comet's surface as being more like a trampoline, causing the probe to rebound so far. It is thought the probe settled in a ditch beneath", "summary": "European Space Agency has begun attempting to contact the lost probe .

+{"article": "Why and how certain types of mushrooms glow has long confused scientists, but now they think they might have an answer. It appears that some fungi emit light to attract insects at night, which then spread their fungal spores around. And interestingly, the mushrooms are also able to sync up their ability with the circadian clock, so they only become bioluminescent when it is dark. Scientists in Brazil studied why certain species of mushroom glow. They found the ability helps them attract insects at night. These creatures will then move their fungal spores elsewhere. But the mushrooms are able to turn off the ability during the day. Pictured is Neonothopanus gardneri . The research, published in the journal Current Biology, was led by the University of Sao Paulo. Among bioluminescent organisms, fungi are the most rare and least understood. Of more than 100,000 species of fungi, only 71 are known to produce green light, a process that uses oxygen and energy. Scientists had thought they produce light around the clock as byproduct of their metabolism, but based on new evidence it seems that isn't so. The effect is triggered by a chemical reaction between luciferin, a light-emitting pigment, and the enzyme luciferase. It can occur in fungi as well as in a range of animals including jellyfish, squid, scorpions and other insects. In fact, the mushrooms' glow appears to be under the control of a temperature-compensated circadian clock. This level of control helps them 'save energy' during hours of daylight when they do not need to grow. At night, the green glow attracts insects including beetles, flies, wasps and ants. 'It appears that fungi make light so they are noticed by insects who can help the fungus colonize new habitats,' said Dr Cassius Stevani of Brazil's Instituto de Qu\u00edmica-Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo. The circadian control of bioluminescence makes the process more efficient. 'Regulation implies an adaptive function for bioluminescence,' added Dr Jay Dunlap of Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine. Here the species Neonothopanus gardneri is seen during the day, when its bioluminescent ability 'turns off' in order to conserve energy. Scientists had thought they produce light around the clock as byproduct of their metabolism, but based on this new evidence it seems that isn't so . To make the findings, the researchers made sticky, fake mushrooms out of acrylic resin and lit them from inside with green LED lights (shown). When those pretend fungi were placed in the forest , the ones that were lit led many more insects to get stuck than did comparably sticky dark mushrooms . The research focused on Neonothopanus gardneri, one of the biggest and brightest of bioluminescent mushrooms. N. gardneri is also called 'flor de coco,' meaning coconut flower, by locals in Brazil, where the mushroom can be found attached to leaves at the base of young palm trees in coconut forests. Other fungi have other methods to disperse their spores like the Common Stinkhorn (shown), which releases a foul smell to get flies to attract flies .

A conwoman who used her job working at a care home to steal \u00a3116,000 from the families of vulnerable residents used it to pay for a lifestyle she could not afford. Anne Dobson, 39, splashed \u00a320,000 on a wedding ceremony, another \u00a34,000 on the honeymoon, and bought herself a new car worth \u00a316,000.

She then passed the money on to her employer Embrace All Care Homes, but not before taking \u00a3400 from each bill for herself. Chelmsford Crown Court heard that she began taking the funds in order to pay down debts she had racked up, but soon went on a spending spree than included a \u00a31,000 holiday. Andrew Jackson, QC, prosecuting, said: 'In 2013 she was marrying again and needed to pay for her wedding and she could not afford the sort of wedding she wanted so continued to defraud the company. 'She paid for her own wedding which she told police had cost about \u00a320,000 and on top of that a honeymoon to the tune of \u00a34,000, all of which were funded by the ongoing fraud. 'By 2013 she was on top of her debts and she freely admitted that it was to pay for the wedding.' The 'simple' scheme worked like clockwork each month, the court was told, until one of the residents' families thought to question the amounts being paid. When interviewed by police, Dobson admitted her actions, telling officers she felt 'crap' for what she had done. At one stage the mum from Witham, Essex, even wrote a \u00a37,000 cheque to one resident in a bid to relieve her of her burden of guilt. Mr Jackson added: 'It was a gross breach of the trust that the company placed in her. 'She played a leading role - she was the author of this fraud - there was an abuse of her position of trust and responsibility.'

+{"article": "The deep bass tones of singer Barry White have become synonymous with seduction among humans, but it appears horses find deep voices sexy too. A new study has found that female horses are more attracted stallions with deeper, lower pitched whinnies. The lower frequency 'voices' of stallions tended to be associated with larger males, who had a calmer temperament and their offspring tended to survive for longer. Scroll down for video . Stallions, like the wild mustang above, use their deep voices to attract the opposite sex, according to research . The researchers say that mares seem to make their choices about unfamiliar males on their first meeting based on the depth of their voices. And just like humans putting on an album featuring Barry White's bass-baritone voice, the deeper whinnies from male horses also appear to get the mares more in the mood. The researchers say the findings could also be used to help horse breeders select the best stallions for mating in the future. The domestication of the horse some 5,500 years ago ultimately revolutionized human civilization and societies. Horses facilitated transportation as well as the circulation of ideas, languages and religions. Horses also revolutionized warfare with the advent of chariotry and mounted cavalry and beyond the battlefield horses greatly stimulated agriculture. However, the domestication of the horse and the subsequent encroachment of human civilization also resulted in the near extinction of wild horses. The only surviving wild horse population, the Przewalski's horses from Mongolia, descends from mere 13 individuals, preserved only through a massive conservation effort. As a consequence of this massive loss of genetic diversity, the effects of horse domestication through times have been difficult to unravel on a molecular level. Professor Alban Lemasson, a biologist at the University of Rennes in France, said: 'The lower pitched the stallion's voice, the slower its heart beat and the higher its reproductive success. 'Stallion acoustic signals may play a role in female attraction at the time of group formation, as well as a role in sexual stimulation or libido maintenance when a group is formed. 'This supports preliminary findings showing that females base their approach preference towards certain unfamiliar males on the amount of vocal signals uttered during their first encounter and some male vocal signals trigger mare behavioural preparation for mating, for example tail lifting and leg parting.' In the wild, horses tend to live in harems consisting of one to two male adults and two to three females who have established stable bonds. When female juveniles reach sexual maturity they leave their group and form their own harem with bachelor males or join an existing harem. This may explain why 'voice' has become such an important characteristic in horses as females will often choose which harem to join from a long way off. Sound is an effective way for males to convey information to prospective mates and may be a way of avoiding the often violent fights that wild male rivals can engage in to win a mate. In a study published in the journal Public Library of", "summary": "Scientists at the University of Rennes, France, recorded stallions' whinnies .

There were just 22 cases of meningitis W in 2009, but this shot up to 117 last year, according to Public Health England. This is a rise of 431 per cent. Some experts said the levels could even indicate a public health emergency. While the rise was initially seen in adults, it has now extended to all age groups and, for the first time in a decade, young children have died as a result of MenW. There has also been a rise in cases among students. It is proposed to immunise teenagers aged 14 to 18 in an attempt to halt the disease\u2019s spread. Andrew Pollard, chairman of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, said the upsurge in cases was caused by a \u2018highly aggressive strain of the bug\u2019. He said: \u2018We reviewed the outbreak in detail and concluded that this increase was likely to continue in future years unless action is taken. \u2018We have therefore advised the Department of Health to implement a vaccination programme for teenagers as soon as possible which we believe will have a substantial impact on the disease and protect the public\u2019s health.\u2019 Campaigners said the Government\u2019s delay in introducing a vaccine against meningitis B \u2013 the last major strain of the disease \u2013 may have hindered the fight.

That\u2019s a debate engineers at Texas A&M University are stirring with their latest \u2018robo-roach\u2019 device, which can control the path a cockroach takes with wireless technology. They have created little backpacks for the bugs and implanted electrodes into their nervous system to control their movement. Scroll down for video . Texas engineers have developed a method to control cockroach movement. Their backpack stimulates the nervous system in the bugs' brains (image provided by Dr Hong Liang). Doing so allows the direction of their movement to be altered. It is different to previous technologies that stimulated antennae . This is not the first technology to turn cockroaches into controllable insects - others have even released products you can buy to create your own remote-controlled roach. But previous attempts to manipulate the movements of cockroaches relied on stimulating their antennae, tricking them into avoiding objects. The technology developed by Texas A&M University, meanwhile, works by stimulating nerves in the cockroach\u2019s brain to allow for greater control. The paper, published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, details how the team built a small micro-controller, wireless receiver and a rechargeable lithium battery. These were packaged together in a \u2018backpack\u2019 weighing 0.007lbs (3g) that was attached to the cockroach. Next, they inserted electrodes into the body of a cockroach to stimulate its nervous system. By stimulating either left or right side, the team then found they could control the bug, although it only responded correctly about 60 per cent of the time. In tests, the researchers were able to control the movement of the cockroaches around obstacles (shown). While they can only control their direction for now, the researchers hope to advance the technology to have greater control, such as making it walk, run and stop on command . Speaking to The Guardian, lead researcher Dr Hong Liang said the benefits of such technology could include attaching cameras or sensors to cockroaches, and having them explore areas humans cannot - such as disaster zones. \u2018Insects can do things a robot cannot,\u2019 she said. \u2018They can go into small places, sense the environment, and if there\u2019s movement, from a predator say, they can escape much better than a system designed by a human. \u2018We wanted to find ways to work with them.\u2019 While they can only control their direction for now, the researchers hope to advance the technology to have greater control, such as making it walk, run and stop on command.

But in an astonishing turnaround, the 59-year-old is now back in the Fox News anchor seat and healthier than ever - and he believes he has his boss to thank.

But after checking out, he had an 'immediate relapse' and a bar employee at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport called police after he became unruly and started bothering another customer. Footage of the arrest, which was released, shows him calling an officer a 'f***ing stupid ass' before the officer grabs his arm and forces his face against a wall, then slams him into the cell's bench. After the altercation, he was taken to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center in Minneapolis but was released after posting $300 bond the following day. Thankful: Jarrett, pictured in his mug shot after his arrest last year, said Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, pictured left, helped him fight through his addiction and told him he would have a job to come back to . His mug shot and security footage showing the arrest were soon posted across the internet. 'When I saw the videotape, I was heartbroken,' Jarrett recalled. 'Because that's not me, that's not who I am. And yet, through alcoholism that's what I've become.' But Ailes still refused to give up on Jarrett, telling him: 'We can beat this.' The CEO assured the anchor that his job was safe and that he would continue to get paid, while also regularly checking in on his wife and their two daughters, Grace, 18, and Olivia, 16. Thinking of what he put his daughters through, Jarrett told TV Newser: 'It breaks my heart.'

'I did not have any involvement in the pardons that were granted or not granted, and I'm just very disappointed about my brother's involvement.' Separately, Tony Rodham had his own brush with presidential pardon embarrassment, successfully pressing President Clinton to pardon a Tennessee couple convicted of bank fraud. Clinton overruled objections from the Justice Department in granting that request.

Suing: A U.S. citizen who was born in Ethiopia, Abreham Zemedagegehu learned that he'd been accused of stealing an iPad--an iPad whose owner later found it . 'I felt like I was losing my mind,' Zemedagegehu said through an interpreter in an interview at his lawyer's office. 'I thought Virginia would give me an interpreter and they said no. That's why I felt lost.' Zemedagegehu, who is homeless, is a U.S. citizen who was born in Ethiopia. He grew up using Ethiopian Sign Language. He has learned American Sign Language, but he has never learned more than rudimentary written English. Maj. Susie Doyel, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office, which runs the jail, declined to comment on the specific allegations. She generally defended the jail's ability to handle deaf inmates and others with disabilities, and said several deputies in the jail are proficient in sign language. But she also acknowledged that communication with a deaf inmate is more problematic in cases where the inmate can't communicate in written English. In court papers filed Monday, lawyers for the sheriff ask a judge to dismiss the case, arguing that even if Zemedagegehu's allegations are true, they fail to show intentional discrimination because they attempted various different ways to communicate with him, including handwritten notes. And even if the discrimination were intentional, the lawyers write that it would not violate federal law because there is a rational basis for the discrimination: 'it takes extra resources and creates additional security considerations to bring in an ASL interpreter,' they write. Zemedagegehu's ordeal began Feb. 2, 2014, as he sought a warm place to sleep at Reagan National Airport. According to Zemedagegehu's lawsuit, officers from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority arrested him on a complaint that he had stolen another man's iPad. Jailed: He spent the next six weeks in jail, unable to communicate with his jailers because he is deaf. He described a frightening, isolated experience in which medical procedures were performed without his consent and he feared for . Zemedagegehu says he requested an ASL interpreter to explain what was happening, but instead was taken to the Arlington jail for processing. He said the booking process was bewildering, with someone speaking on a video screen and he not understanding what was happening. After he was booked, he underwent a medical screening, and says he was given forms to sign. He didn't know what they were, and refused to sign them.

An anti-terror policewoman who used Scotland Yard computers to look for information on her ex-husband has been sacked. PC Annaleisa Gordon conducted the unauthorised searches on Christopher McNair while working for the Met's counter-terrorism squad in 2010 and 2011. A court later heard she feared he was dead or missing and was frantically trying to find him. Gordon was found guilty of a data protection offence in 2013 and has now been sacked from the Metropolitan Police. The 50-year-old was appointed counter-terror intelligence officer to the borough of Greenwich, south-east London in 2007 after joining the police in 1988. A Scotland Yard spokesman said today: 'Police Constable Annaleisa Gordon, an officer attached to Specialist Operations, was dismissed without notice on Monday from the Metropolitan Police Service following a misconduct hearing.' The force said that Gordon had 'breached standards of professional behaviour' in relation to 'discreditable conduct and confidentiality'. The spokesman added: 'The panel agreed these circumstances amount to gross misconduct. She was subsequently dismissed.' During her trial, the court heard Gordon feared her ex was missing or even dead and that's why she accessed records, dating back to 2004. She was convicted of one count of obtaining personal data which breached the Data Protection Act. Sentencing her after her two-day trial at Southwark Crown Court, Recorder Aidan Christie said he accepted her actions were 'entirely out of character'.

The terror proposals are being drawn up by the Home Office amid growing concerns at the threat posed by home-grown fanatics.

It has been drawn up in the wake of worrying revelations about British Muslims going overseas to join ISIS including Mohammed Emwazi, the 26-year-old known as \u2018Jihadi John\u2019. Education Secretary Nicky Morgan admitted she was \u2018concerned\u2019 about what might be being taught in some schools. She told Murnaghan on Sky News: \u2018I\u2019m not going to comment on what is a leaked document, but I think as Education Secretary it would be right for me to say I am of course concerned about what might be taught in some of our schools. \u2018And we have since last year required all schools to actively promote these fundamental British values so that our education system is opening up young minds, it is not closing them down. \u2018And I think the messages that young people receive, whether it\u2019s in school or outside school, are very, very important.\u2019 The new strategy has not been signed off by ministers, and some of the measures could be expected to raise objections among Liberal Democrats if they are deemed to infringe civil liberties. It could lead to changes in the rules granting citizenship to encourage new arrivals to embrace \u2018British values\u2019.

The Bronx native describes how he would have a list of demands and orders when he arrived at work every day, but the illicit scheme earned him more money than his annual salary which started at $28,000. It included smuggling tobacco, drugs and cellphones to inmates and offering protection to three female prison guards who were selling sex. In the book he describes them as 'copstitutes'. Corruption officer: Gary Heyward, a former guard at Rikers Island, helped female officers prostitute themselves to inmates and jail bosses and later served time for running a huge smuggling operation at the prison . Before he got a job at the jail in 1996, he had served in Operation Desert Storm. His smuggling operation began when he saw a childhood friend, Biz, locked up on Rikers Island. He asked Heyward to pick up a carton of cigarettes which contained marijuana. According to the book titled Corruption Officer, an advanced copy of which was seen by the New York Daily News, the cigarette operation then skyrocketed. He would strap bags of tobacco to his body underneath his uniform to work and would sell $2 worth for around $200. For $500 he would also deliver burner phones to an inmate and would set higher prices for more specific orders - such as liquor, coke, cooch and, in one instance, red velvet cupcakes. However he changed the direction of his venture when a competitor started selling cocaine. He picked up half an ounce of the substance from the sister of his prison distributor, he describes in the book as Flocko, who then managed to make $1,500 in just 15 minutes.

Scroll down for video . Millions: Mexico officials are offering Sony Pictures Entertainment and MGM millions to portray a positive image of the country in the new 'James Bond' film (photographed is Daniel Craig as James Bond in 'Spectre') In one email, Jonathan Glickman, president of MGM's motion picture group, wrote that producers are facing a budget for 'Spectre' far beyond what was expected. Now more than $300 million, Glickman said producers are under 'immense' pressure to reduce the film's budget to $250 million. 'This is not about 'nickel and diming' the production,' Glickman wrote. 'As of now, our shooting period is $50M higher than 'Skyfall' and the current gross budget sits in the mid $300Ms, making this one of the most expensive films ever made.' Desperate to save money, producers have reportedly given up a measure of creative control. They are so desperate in fact, that the studio allowed Mexican officials to dictate characters' ethnicities, make casting decisions, and change the occupation of an unnamed character that never appears on screen, the Independent reports. Cast: Mexican officials requested that a Mexican actress be cast as a Bond Girl; Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman has joined the cast of 'Spectre' as Estrella . Changes: Mexico officials requested that the villain in the film be an international ambassador rather than a Mexico City mayor and that Mexican police be depicted as a 'special force' Among the changes, Mexico officials requested that the villain in the film be an international ambassador rather than a Mexico City mayor, that Mexican police be depicted as a 'special force,' and that a Mexican actress be cast as a Bond Girl. As was recently announced, Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman has joined the cast of 'Spectre' as Estrella. The film received $14 million for roughly four minutes of footage in the film's opening, Business Insider reports. Mexico officials would reportedly give another $6 million to the film if producers highlighted the skyline and 'modern' features of Mexico City -- the film's first shooting location. Amy Pascal, then chair of Sony's motion picture group, encouraged Glickman to move forward with the changes to increase the project's eligibility for Mexico's film production incentive programs.

The ruling made public Wednesday upheld a lower court ruling that dismissed his lawsuit. The man - identified in court papers as Hiram Jimenez - claimed a waitress didn't warn him the dish was hot. The lower court, however, found that the food posed an 'open and obvious' danger. Ruling: A New Jersey appellate court says a man cannot seek damages from Applebee's for burns he suffered while bowing his head in prayer over a sizzling steak fajita skillet at a restaurant . The incident happened in March 2010 at an Applebee's restaurant in Westampton, New Jersey. Jimenez said he bowed his head, then heard a loud sizzle followed by a grease pop. He then felt a burning sensation in his left eye and on his face. Jimenez said he panicked and knocked the food on his lap, causing more burns. The burns didn't cause scarring. The appellate court ruling said 'Plaintiff alleged that, on March 4, 2010, while a business invitee at Applebee's, he was injured solely as a result of defendants' negligence when he came in contact with a dangerous and hazardous condition, specifically, \"a plate of hot food.\"' 'Here, the danger posed by a plate of sizzling hot food was self-evident,' the ruling said. 'Therefore, we conclude that the motion judge correctly determined that defendants had no duty to warn plaintiff that the food was sizzling hot and should be approached with due care.' Darren Audino, an attorney representing Applebee's, declined to comment. A message seeking comment from Jimenez's attorney, Richard Wiener, wasn't immediately returned.

Key defense witness Stuart GraBois recounted how, once ruling out family members as suspects, he located Jose Ramos in prison in the late 1980s after learning the Ramos had ties to a woman who was once used by the family to walk Etan home from school during a bus driver strike. The former assistant to then-US Attorney Rudy Giuliani described soothing Ramos with small talk before suddenly asking him, 'How many times did you have sex with Etan Patz?' Scroll down for video . Confessions of a child predator: Convicted child molester Jose Ramos, 71 (left), allegedly told a prosecutor in 1988 that on the day of Etan Patz's disappearance, he brought the 6-year-old to his apartment with the intention of having sex with him . Site: Hernandez was working in 1979 at this corner convenience store, near where Etan was last seen where the man said he threw the boy's body into trash . 'He froze and got tearful, and said, \"I want to tell you all about it. I want to get it off my chest,\"' GraBois testified. Ramos claimed that he had encountered Patz in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village May 25, 1979, before luring the boy to his apartment to try to have sex with him, GraBois said.

GraBois said he considered that a lie, telling Ramos, 'I don't believe you.' GraBois launched an investigation that resulted in an unrelated sex abuse conviction against Ramos in Pennsylvania. But the prosecutor failed to make a case against him in Etan's disappearance after Ramos refused to ever speak again with authorities about the boy, whose body was never found.

The immediate goal is to pass the milestone of 500 career victories \u2014 he is within one win of doing so after beating Colombia\u2019s Santiago Giraldo 6-3, 6-4 in the third round of the Miami Open. Murray can pass the mark on Tuesday if he defuses the huge serving power of giant South African Kevin Anderson. Andy Murray could become the first British tennis player to win 500 career games if he beats Kevin Anderson . Should Murray survive that encounter, it is possible he could edge ahead of Rafael Nadal and move back up to No 3 in the world rankings, although that also depends on the performances of others here. Going past 500 is something nobody can take away from him, however, and it will stand as testament to his consistency at the top of the game. Since tennis went open in 1968 \u2014 the old barriers between amateurs and professionals torn down to make a unified circuit \u2014 only 45 men have clocked that many wins. Only eight who are currently active have managed it. Murray defeatedSantiago Giraldo of Columbia in their third round match during the Miami Open . No British player in that time has got there, Tim Henman pulling stumps on his career within four of the mark. Murray said: \u2018It\u2019s nice because when you see the list of players who have won this many matches there aren\u2019t loads. \u2018Even if it doesn\u2019t happen here then at some stage I\u2019m sure I will get there. Murray could leap ahead of Rafael Nadal in the rankings if he beats Anderson in the fourth round . \u2018I obviously want to win more and hopefully I still have quite a few years ahead of me to add to that number. \u2018It\u2019s not easy in this era to win that many matches, so it\u2019s a good sign.\u2019 Of those Murray victories, 24 have come so far at this event, making it his most productive Masters level tournament. Murray and Giraldo shake hands after their match which saw the Scot progress to the next round . Factors like it being a familiar training base for Murray \u2014 he has a home only three miles away from this Key Biscayne island site \u2014 and the tendency for it to be windy during the tournament have all contributed to that. He is one of the best at adapting to such conditions. After two days of unsettled weather that have hardly enhanced South Florida\u2019s reputation for reliable sunshine, it was a regulation glorious morning as he kicked off the programme against Giraldo, one of the steady trickle of decent tennis players who come out of Colombia. The No 27 seed, who beat Murray in their previous meeting on the clay of Madrid last year, is the kind of opponent who illustrates that racking up the wins on the ATP Tour is hardly a straightforward endeavour.

Kurdish peshmerga forces claim to have accidentally killed Doiron in a friendly fires incident, after mistaking him for an Islamic militant . A Canadian special forces soldier was killed in a friendly fire incident after he and others ignored an order to stay in their car and showed up to the front line unannounced, a spokesman for Iraq's Kurdish forces said Sunday. The death Friday of Sgt. Andrew Joseph Doiron marked Canada's first casualty as part of the U.S.-led coalition's war on the extremist Islamic State group. Canadian officials could not be immediately reached for comment Sunday on the peshmerga claim, though Canada's defense minister previously acknowledged Doiron's death came as a result of 'a case of mistaken identity.' Peshmerga spokesman Halgurd Hekmat said a group of Canadian soldiers showed up unannounced Friday to the village of Bashiq, in Iraq's Nineveh province near the militant-held city of Mosul. The area had seen heavy fighting against Islamic State militants the previous day. 'When they returned, the peshmerga asked them to identify themselves,' Hekmat told The Associated Press. 'They answered in Arabic, that's when peshmerga started shooting. It was their fault.' Hekmat added that he doesn't know why the Canadians were there. 'I consider it an improper action by the Canadians and illogical,' he said. Two Kurdish officials later told the AP that Doiron's body was flown to Canada early Sunday following a military ceremony at Irbil International Airport. They spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to brief journalists. Canada's defense department on Saturday announced the death of Doiron, a soldier in the Canadian Special Operations Regiment based at Garrison Petawawa, Ontario. Three other Canadian soldiers were wounded in the incident and are in stable condition, Canadian Defense Minister Jason Kenney said. Sgt Doiron and other soldiers were shot when they unexpectedly showed up at the front line in Bashiq, Iraq on Friday. Bashiq is located not far from the ISIS stronghold city of Mosul . Canada has 69 special forces soldiers with Kurdish peshmerga fighters in what the government calls an advising and assisting role. They were sent to help train Kurdish fighters last September in a mission that was billed as noncombat with the elite troops working far behind the front lines . The fact that Canadian special forces have been training and assisting on the front lines and directing airstrikes has stirred controversy in the country, but Kenney said the rules of engagement will remain the same. Kenney said Doiron's death had 'nothing to do with combat,' saying it was a case of mistaken identity on the part of Kurdish fighters at night. 'It was caused by a failure of identification. There will be an inquiry,' Kenney said. The Islamic State group currently holds a third of Iraq and Syria. The U.S.-led coalition began airstrikes targeting the extremists in August. So far, four other troops have been killed as part of the coalition, not counting Iraqi forces.

For four years, mother-of-three Lisa Pigram went back and forth to her GP, complaining of wheeziness and occasional sharp pains in her shoulder and chest. Sometimes, she felt as though she was struggling to breathe, or that she was coming down with the flu. Yet she was 'just pooh-poohed' by doctors, says Lisa, 42, who lives in Essex with her husband and has three children, aged 22, 13 and eight. She was not sent for tests, and one doctor even insinuated that it was all in her mind and she was just 'a bit sensitive'. It was after she coughed up blood on holiday in 2004 - and still the doctor told her to wait and see if it got worse - that she decided to use her private medical insurance. Lisa, a teaching assistant, saw a specialist, who inserted a tube with a camera into her lungs and found a growth in her airways. She had a grape-sized bronchial carcinoid tumour - the same condition that the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson announced he had this weekend. The news came as a shock. Like Robinson, Lisa, 42, had never smoked - and no one could explain why she had developed it. She was told the tumour was essentially 'benign' and that if they removed it surgically, that would be the end of it. So, in May 2005, she had a section of her top lung cut out. Nick Robinson, 51, followed up the announcement of his cancer with typical good humour: . 'Timing lousy. Prognosis good,' he quipped. Indeed, the prognosis for most people with his form of cancer is very good if the tumour is caught early and surgically removed. Bronchial carcinoid tumours are a form of cancer known as neuroendocrine tumours. These form on the endocrine system, a network of glands and cells throughout the body that produces hormones. They can be found elsewhere in the body, mainly the intestines, the pancreas and the appendix - 10 to 20 per cent occur in the lungs. Every year, 3,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour. 'It is far less aggressive than many other cancers and even people with an advanced form can live for decades - Steve Jobs had a pancreatic form and lived for a long time with it,' says Neil Pearce, a surgeon who leads the team treating neuroendocrine tumours at University Hospital, Southampton. Jobs, the Apple boss, was diagnosed in 2003 and died in 2011. The news came as a shock for both BBC journalist Nick Robinson (pictured) and Lisa - as neither of them had ever smoked . The difference between typical lung cancer and bronchial carcinoid is that the former occurs within the main cells of the lung; bronchoid carcinoids occur in the neuroendocrine cells dotted around the lining of the main airways. Wherever a neuro-endocrine tumour develops, it can begin to produce hormones - and 30 per cent do", "summary": "Lisa Pigram, 42, from Essex, had a bronchial carcinoid tumour .

The mother of a Texas teenager accused of choking his girlfriend to death during rough sex on prom night has been arrested for allegedly supplying her son and his date with drugs and alcohol on prom night. Melissa Ann Martinez, 40, was arrested on Thursday and police say she gave her son Eddie M. Herrera, 18, and and his date Jacqueline Gomez, 17, alcohol and drugs the night that Gomez died. Herrera, 18, was charged with aggravated assault in January for the May death of Jacqueline Gomez of Houston, Texas, after he admitted to choking her during sex. The Houston Chronicle reports that Herrera told police he called his mom to help him dress Gomez before calling police to tell them he woke to find her unresponsive.

Investigators said Herrera told authorities the couple went to the hotel room after attending the prom, drank alcohol and fell asleep. Herrera told police that his girlfriend had taken the painkiller hydrocodone and he admitted they both drank whiskey.

A bid to free Guantanamo Bay inmate Shaker Aamer faces further delay after US officials launched yet another review, it was revealed last night. Even though the 48-year-old detainee from London has already been cleared for release twice by the US, a minister told the Commons his \u2018complex case\u2019 was being studied again by six federal agencies including CIA chiefs. The admission by Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood fuelled fears that the father of four could continue to be held indefinitely in the military jail, where he has already languished for 13 years without charge or trial. Mr Ellwood said there was \u2018no timetable\u2019 for the decision by US officials but he said they were determined to make sure the captive was \u2018not going to be a danger to this or any other country\u2019. Mr Aamer\u2019s plight was raised during an impassioned Commons debate by MPs of all parties pressing for the freedom of the last British resident at the camp. Former Tory minister David Davis called Britain and the US\u2019s handling of Mr Aamer\u2019s case \u2018immoral\u2019. Lib Dem Tim Farron said there was \u2018no excuse\u2019 why the detainee should not be freed and said the US\u2019s behaviour was like that of an \u2018extremist regime\u2019. He insisted the West had \u2018fallen short\u2019 of the standards millions of people had died to protect in the 20th Century and said its behaviour in setting up the torture camp was \u2018exactly what Al Qaeda would have liked us to have done\u2019. Politicians from all parties lined up to launch blistering attacks on the White House for failing to keep its promise to free the terror suspect, who lived in South London with his wife and children.

Any drop of moisture which touches it turns into a ball and rolls away, cleaning up any dust or germs in its path. The breakthrough, by chemists at University College London, comes after years of research into highly water-resistant - or \u2018superhydrophobic\u2019 - substances. The idea was inspired by copying elements from nature. Waxy feathers, for example, repel water, keeping a bird afloat and its plumage clean. The petals of a lotus flower, in a similar way, shed moisture, meaning they are not weighed down and damaged by rain. Within weeks of after Samsung releasing its waterproof Galaxy S5 last year, Apple filed a patent that took its rival\u2019s technology a step further. Called \u2018Methods for shielding electronic components from moisture\u2019, the filing awarded today describes a way of making the inside of a phone waterproof rather than the outside. Individual components would be covered in a thin film designed to stop liquids damaging the phone, even if it manages to penetrate the outer casing. Professor Ivan Parkin, head of chemistry at UCL, said: \u2018If we can do this as well as nature does it, we will have a series of breakthrough products.\u2019 Applications for the spray might include self-cleaning paint, which is resistant to coffee spills, damp or mould. The substance may also be used in hospital theatres to stop bacteria accumulating. Or it might be used on the hulls of boats, reducing friction with the water, allowing more speed and requiring less fuel. Professor Parkin, whose work is published in the journal Science, added: \u2018If it goes well you might see products on shop shelves in the order of two to four years.\u2019 PhD student Yao Lu, whose lab work at UCL contributed to the breakthrough, has shown in a series of tests that the substance can be applied to the threads of textiles which could allow it to be used to create waterproof and stainproof clothes.

Coach Peter Moores' position has most significantly come under fire after a campaign in which England were rarely competitive, losing four of their five games, to crash out of the tournament with Friday's final group game against Afghanistan still to play. Downton has the power in his hands to end Moores' second spell in charge but in the wake of Monday's 15-run defeat to Bangladesh he has so far sought to back the man he described as 'the outstanding coach of his generation' when he appointed him last April.

Downton says no decisions on the future of players or staff, including Moores, would be made immediately but a review will take place . 'You don't become a bad coach overnight but the scale of the issues we have got to deal with are significant as everybody has seen.' England fly out to the Caribbean for a Test series early next month and while it appears any fall-out from the ECB review is unlikely to strike before then, Downton did baulk at the opportunity to guarantee that Moores would remain in charge. 'All I have said is that we're still within the first year of his appointment,' he said. 'We clearly will have a major review of what's happened in the last six months but particularly during the World Cup. 'Everybody is extremely raw from yesterday's experience but we still have a game left in the World Cup, so no decisions are going to be made in the short term.

Currently, European Union regulators assume pollen from the crop, which has been manipulated to include a toxin that kills pests, can travel only 20 to 40 metres. However, research suggests that significant amounts of the pollen, which harms butterflies and moths, can be carried up to 4.45 kilometres \u2013 2.7 miles \u2013 on the wind. Watchdogs have launched an investigation into GM corn following a study showing \u2018toxic\u2019 pollen from the plants can travel miles to contaminate the countryside . Critics say that if this is correct the rules must be redrawn to protect the countryside and stop the pollen contaminating conventional and organic farms and food over vast areas. The European Food Safety Authority is now reviewing the approval process for the corn \u2013 known as Bt maize \u2013 following the German study. Its investigation is particularly important because the European Commission is in the final throes of approving a type of GM maize that was assessed under a safety regime that did not take account of the new information. The researchers measured the spread of pollen from maize crops over ten years at hundreds of sites in Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. They discovered that assumptions that maize pollen is heavy and falls to the ground over a short distance from the plants were spectacularly wrong. The research found the concentration ranged from 23.3million grains of pollen per square metre close to the fields to 2,857 grains at greater distances. Significant amounts of pollen were found more than 2\u00bd miles away. Previous assumptions on pollen dispersal were based on the premise that the air was still, but the German researchers pointed out that these conditions are \u2018practically non-existent\u2019 in the real world. They said some studies suggest that the pollen can be lifted high in the air by strong winds and carried for more than 40 miles. The experts, whose research was published in the journal Environmental Sciences Europe, said even small amounts of pollen containing the toxin \u2013 as little as four grains \u2013 will harm or kill sensitive butterflies and moths. The European Food Safety Authority is reviewing the approval process for the corn \u2013 known as Bt maize - following a research study by German academics, while one environmental group called for it to be banned altogether . They concluded that measures would be needed to ensure any GM maize crops are more than half a mile away from sensitive areas of countryside which are home to important populations of butterflies and moths. Mute Schimpf, of Friends of the Earth Europe, said: \u2018The only logical and scientific conclusion is to halt the cultivation of all GM maize in Europe.\u2019 Last month, MPs on the science and technology select committee said the term \u2018GM food\u2019 should be abandoned because it had become a \u2018lightning rod\u2019 for fears about designer crops.

Rovers looked set for another defeat as they trailed 20-4 during the first half but they staged an unbelievable rally to take the spoils as Catalans were blown away after half-time. Slick passing and determined defending kept the French side out as Chris Chester's men, who ran in nine tries - seven after the interval, enjoyed their best day of the season so far. Ken Sio celebrates after scoring in a game where he grabbed a hat-trick for Hull KR at home to Catalans . It had all looked so different when Willie Tonga put the Dragons ahead early on . Ken Sio led the way with a hat-trick of tries while Ben Cockayne and debutant Shaun Lunt notched braces. Albert Kelly and Liam Salter were also on the scoresheet for the hosts, with Josh Mantellato slotting over seven conversions. Catalans ran in four tries, but all of them came during the first half as they could find no way through in a one-sided second period. Few would have predicted the final scoreline as the Dragons opened the scoring just two minutes in through Willie Tonga. Rovers responded with a try from Sio in the 16th minute but the Dragons restored their lead when Michael Oldfield scored the third unconverted of the half in the 25th minute - two minutes after KR prop Mitch Allgood was sin-binned for his part in an off-the-ball flare-up with Scott Dureau.

Dureau converted both tried to put the visitors 20-4 ahead with five minutes of the first half remaining. At that point it looked as though there was only one outcome to the match, but Rovers had other ideas. They gave themselves a timely boost when Cockayne scored on the stroke of half-time after great work by Kris Welham, allowing the hosts to reduce the deficit to 20-10 at the break thanks to Mantellato's conversion. Catalans would still have been in optimistic mood at the midway point of the match, but that would not have lasted long as KR staged an incredible second-half onslaught.

Albert Kelly added to his try collection with a superb 40 metres try converted by Mantellato, who four minutes later added the extras to Sio's second try of the game to give Rovers the lead for the first time at 22-20.

The pain must have been excruciating but Mackay insisted on checking the diagnosis personally. He stamped his foot on the ground and only as the cracked bone stuck out through his bloodied sock did he accept that he could not play on. Even then he spurned the stretcher and walked off, trying not to limp. \u2018Never show you\u2019re hurt,\u2019 he growled as they hurried him to hospital.

The initiative seeks to make a year of service with organizations like Americorps, Habitat for Humanity and others the norm for graduates with the help of the entertainment industry, where some major players have pledged to insert positive messages about a year of service into programming aimed at Millennials. Chelsea Clinton and late night host Jimmy Kimmel teamed up Monday in Los Angeles to push for Serve a Year -- an initiative that urges high school and college graduates to serve their communities for a year after graduating . 'We know that the millennial generation wants to serve if they are given the right information and opportunities, and so I think that gives particular urgency to our efforts today,' Clinton said . 'It's great to see so many people, especially young people, dedicating yourselves to public service because you care about people and not because a court ordered you to,' Kimmel joked at the Serve a Year launch in Los Angeles on Monday. 'The goal of this mission is essentially to put less focus on yourself and put more focus on others,' he said, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Over the next three years, ServiceNation hopes that mission will be accomplished by portraying the perks of service in television and movies, according to the Serve A Year website.

A spokesperson for Clinton has said that the former secretary of state completely complied with the requirement but Republicans have continued to question the veracity of that statement. A House committee tasked with investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in Libya issued a new round of subpoenas last week for messages sent through Clinton's personal account, which was recently revealed to be the only email address she used while at the State Department, mixing business correspondence with pleasure, all at a domain outside the immediate scope of the government. The controversy has bled into a separate review of the Clinton Foundation's fundraising practices during Hillary Clinton's tenure in Barack Obama's administration after the Washington Post discovered that her family's charity accepted money from foreign governments that were also lobbying the State Department. Scroll down for video . All smiles: Hillary Clinton, pictured here with daughter Chelsea Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative University in Miami, Florida, didn't appear to be worried during the Saturday event about investigations into her email . Clinton and her team have kept their heads down as the scandals played out, to the chagrin of some Democrats who say that the likely 2016 presidential candidate needs to head off bad press by confronting the allegations. Collectively, the accusations of impropriety levied at the Clintons have extended into their third week, and appear to be gaining strength rather than dissipating. The email saga was a topic of discussion on multiple agenda-setting talk shows on Sunday morning, and the Clinton Foundation's fundraising again grabbed headlines. 'The emails are a related but secondary scandal,' a so-called Clinton 'loyalist' told the National Journal. 'Follow the foundation money.' The Clinton Foundation admitted last month to accepting a donation from the Algerian government in the amount of $500,000 for disaster relief in Haiti while Hillary was secretary of state and did not disclose it to the federal government. It had, at that time, an agreement with the Obama administration that allowed it to keep taking money from foreign governments it had done business with the past. But Algeria was a new donor, meaning it broke the rules when it cashed the country's check. Of importance is that Algeria was lobbying the State Department at the time and spent roughly the same amount on that effort as it gave to the then-secretary's family foundation. Bill Clinton refused on Sunday to talk about his wife's email woes, saying he had an opinion, and a bias, yet felt he should keep from undercutting her messaging strategy with a comment of his own.

+{"article": "New figures show childhood obesity rates double while children are at primary school, with one in five leaving primary school obese . One in 10 children are obese when they start primary school at the age of four, shocking new figures have revealed. And in the space of five years, childhood obesity rates double, with one in five children leaving primary school obese. Experts today warned that not enough is being done in schools to tackle the childhood obesity epidemic, urging the Government to increase compulsory physical activity levels. The new figures, published today by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, show 9.5 per cent of reception class children, aged four to five, were obese in 2013-14. It marks a slight rise from 9.3 per cent the previous year, but is lower than in 2006-07, when 9.9 per cent of the age group were obese. In Year 6, the proportion of 10 to 11-year-olds who were obese was 19.1 per cent in 2013-14, up from 18.9 per cent the previous year, and also a rise from 17.5 per cent in 2006-07. Tam Fry, spokesman for the National Obesity Forum, said while the 'adult population seems to be getting the message', with rates remaining largely constant in men and women, childhood obesity is the 'real concern'. He told MailOnline: 'The huge doubling between children aged four and 11 is particularly disastrous.' Mr Fry warned by the time children reach 11 it is 'recognised they have more or less made up their minds about their lifestyle'. 'Those 11-year-olds are probably going to end up as obese adults,' he said. 'It means every year there will be more and more obese adults adding to these statistics.' He said in Scotland the NHS has been forced to re-evaluate its obesity forecast figures, predicting that 50 per cent of the nation will be obese by 2030 - 20 years earlier than previously estimated. 'We used to think we'd be retired and buried by 2050,' he said. 'But 2030 is a whole generation earlier.' While acknowledging the forecast is currently only specific to Scotland, Mr Fry said it is a concerning trend. Mr Fry, who is also chair of the Child Growth Foundation, told MailOnline the blame for spiralling primary school obesity rates, in part, lies with a failed education programme. He said the current scheme, introduced by Labour and pursued by the Coalition Government, 'isn't working'. 'One of the reasons for these high rates of obesity by the time a child is 11 is a lack of physical education,' Mr Fry told MailOnline. 'Children are just not getting enough exercise.' He rejected the tendency of politicians to lay blame solely at the door of parents, noting the period where child obesity rates rise is when they are in primary school - and so spending the majority of their time away from home. And he warned an added concern is not knowing how children are spending their pocket money at corner shops and on their way home.

And the dangers still exist even if smokers try and limit their child's exposure to secondhand smoke, researchers warn. Therefore, the only way to protect children is to not smoke at all, they say. The findings confirm previous research that linked tobacco smoke and toxins with a lasting effect on children's cardiovascular health. The new research confirms tobacco smoke and toxins have a lasting effect on children's heart health . Finnish children were measured for their exposure to passive smoking and whether their carotid arteries - the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to the head, brain and face - had become narrowed or blocked due to plaque build-up in adulthood. Plaque buildup is made up of fatty deposits and other cells that can build up in the walls of the arteries over time, making them thicker (and therefore harder for blood to flow) As plaque continues to build, it can actually narrow or begin to clog arteries. This slow plaque buildup in arteries over time is a progressive disease called atherosclerosis. The study involved children whose blood samples were taken in in 1980 and 1983 as part in the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study. In 2001 and 2007, ultrasound readings of their carotid arteries were taken. Then in 2014, Finnish researchers measured the participant's childhood blood cotinine levels from samples collected and frozen in 1980. Cotinine is a biomarker of passive smoke exposure. The researchers found that 84 per cent of children from households where neither parent smoked had non-detectable cotinine levels in their samples. However, only 62 per cent of children from households where one parent smoked and 43 per cent of children from households where both parents smoked had blood samples with non-detectable cotinine levels. The dangers still exist even if smokers try and limit their child's exposure to secondhand smoke, the researchers warn. Therefore, the only way to protect children is to not smoke at all . The risk of developing carotid plaque in adulthood was almost two times (1.7) higher in children who had one or both parents who smoked, compared to children of non-smoking parents. And the risk was elevated even if parents tried to limit their children's exposure, warned the study, published in the journal Circulation. Children whose parents smoked but didn't limit exposure had almost twice the risk - and those fiull exposed had four times the risk, the study found. Study author Dr Costan Magnussen, of the University of Turku, said: 'Although we cannot confirm that children with a detectable blood cotinine in our study was a result of passive smoke exposure directly from their parents, we know that a child's primary source of passive smoke exposure occurs at home. 'For parents who are trying to quit smoking, they may be able to reduce some of the potential long-term risk for their children by actively reducing their children's exposure to secondhand smoke, by not smoking inside the home, car, or smoke well away from", "summary": "The dangers still exist even if smokers try and limit their child's exposure .

+{"article": "It seems that the evolutionary tree of life looks more like a giant swirling lollipop. Scientists have assembled the largest and most accurate timeline of life on Earth containing more than 50,000 different species. The new TimeTree of Life, as it is known, has revealed that rather than expanding in bursts, the diversity of life on our planet has actually been growing at a constant rate. Scroll down for video . This new TimeTree of 50,632 species was created by compressing evolutionary history into a narrow grey strip so that time progresses across the width of the strip. The different colours correspond to the main taxonomic divisions that appeared on Earth to create this lollipop, or spiral galaxy, shaped evolutionary tree . The finding contradicts the prevailing view of diversification slowing down as ecological niches fill up with species, only to surge forward again in the wake of a major extinction. Researchers also found that on average it takes around two million years for a new species to emerge from an existing group of animals. A study has claimed that the changes induced by evolution can be reversible, meaning certain animals can return to an earlier biological trait. The remarkable discovery was made by finding birds had regrown a bone previously discarded by dinosaurs millions of years ago. The study was carried out by a team of scientists from the University of Chile . They found that 230 million years ago, two-legged dinosaurs no longer required the strong wrists of their four-legged brethren, and thus they became weak. The number of bones in wrists shrank from 11 to three, with one in particular of interest to disappear being the pisiform. But according to the research, the bone reappeared when dinosaurs evolved into birds and took flight. The new bone, called the ulnare, appears in the same place as the pisiform once did. The pisiform allowed bird wings to remain rigid on the upstroke. The study found it disappeared in bird-like dinosaurs, but modern birds later evolved to once again use this tiny bone. The scientists used data from nearly 2,300 studies examining the molecular biology and genetic diversity of different species. They have now produced a database that can be searched to find out when species separated in evolutionary history and when they last shared a common ancestor. Professor Blair Hedges, director of the Centre for Biodiversity at Temple University in Philadelphia who was one of those leading the study, said the resulting tree took on a more spiral-like appearance. He said: 'This finding shows that speciation is more clock-like than people have thought. 'The constant rate of diversification that we have found indicates that the ecological niches of life are not being filled up and saturated. 'This is contrary to the popular alternative model which predicts a slowing down of diversification as niches fill up with species.' The researchers, whose study is published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution, used what are known as molecular-clocks to produce the new swirling tree of life. These look for changes within DNA to", "summary": "Biologists at Temple University created a spiral shaped view of evolution .

Allardyce said in January that it was 'highly unlikely' Reid had not already verbally agreed to leave Upton Park given that he was yet to sign a new contract and went on to suggest earlier this month that he needed to rope in the questioning techniques of Jack Bauer from television's '24' to get an answer out of the player.

The head of a German inquiry into foreign spying believes his own mobile phone may have been hacked, it has been reported. Patrick Sensburg is chairman of a committee set up last year over claims the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) had listened in to Angela Merkel's phone calls. Mr Sensburg and other political figures had been issued with encrypted mobile phones that were said to be watertight against any hacking attempt. He is reported to have sent his phone to Germany's IT security service in a lead-lined sealed container by German courier company DHL to be examined. But when it arrived at the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the package had been opened and tampered with, according to the Daily Telegraph which cited a report by Welt newspaper. The BSI is now examining the phone. If proven to be the case, it could have potentially damaging repercussions for relations between Germany and UK, which has already expressed concerns about the investigation. It was reported last month that the UK government had threatened to end its co-operation with German intelligence agencies if members of the inquiry were given access to classified information. This threat was neither confirmed or denied by the UK, but a Whitehall source said the government was 'working closely with the German government to engage with the parliamentary inquiry'. The German government has since been seeking a compromise that would only allow Mr Sensburg to see that data which he would then relay to the other members, German media reported. Any apparent breach to Mr Sensburg's security would most likely scupper what is already a fragile compromise. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden claimed in October that the U.S. security service had been listening in on the calls of up to 35 prominent allies, including France and Germany.

While American authorities never acknowledged whether spying took place, Barack Obama was forced to offer Mrs Merkel an apology. Then in December it was reported that Mrs Merkel had also fallen victim to hacking after a sophisticated computer virus was discovered on the USB drive of one of her aides. The Reign virus, which is believed to have been developed by U.S. and British spying agencies, was detected after one of Mrs Merkel's employees plugged her personal drive into a work laptop.

The Government's anti-obesity adviser said she wants food policy to be subjected to the same tough regulations as the tobacco industry. Professor Susan Jebb, from Oxford University, said social norms are 'terribly important', and as such, grazing on unhealthy snacks should be frowned upon. Poor diet is a leading cause of premature death in the UK, accounting for 12.5 per cent of the total burden of disease, primarily due to cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Two thirds of adults are overweight or obese as a result of overeating. In total obesity is linked to around 20 per cent of all ill health in the country, with 33,000 avoidable, early deaths a year, as a result. Preventing these avoidable diseases should be the Government's focus, if the health service is to become more sustainable, Professor Jebb is expected to say tomorrow at the annual Oxford London Lecture. The components of a healthy diet, consuming less saturated fat, sugar and salt while instead eating more fibre, fruit and vegetables, are well known. But to tackle the complex issues which have resulted in the rising tide of obesity in the UK, tougher measures are needed. Professor Jebb, is expected to call for a tax on fizzy drinks to help tackle the issue. Weight loss expert Steve Miller said 'gentle, politically correct' strategies have failed to encourage people to lose weight. Instead he said 'constructive fat shaming', and 'shock tactics' are the only way to help people realise they need to shed pounds. He said: 'As a weight loss specialist I advocate shock tactics including strong restaurant warning signs that read \"if you are fat, think before ordering\". 'Passengers on a plane should also pay for two seats if they are too fat, and irresponsible parents feeding their fat kids junk should be prosecuted. 'In addition assistants in fast food chains should refuse to serve dangerously fat customers. 'The NHS needs to offer alternative solutions including hypnosis. 'Shock tactics drives motivation high. Faffing about talking about food choices will no longer achieve the results we all want to see.' Professor Jebb, told The Times: 'When I was small, eating or drinking on the street was really, really bad form. 'The other norm I worry about is around vegetable eating, because in our house it would be inconceivable if a meal didn't come with vegetables... yet you go and have a meal out and often it will come without vegetables, you will have to buy those separately.'

It showed the door\u2019s lock out of position while the plane was in the air at China\u2019s busiest airport, drawing criticism from air safety experts. This photo showing a plane door's lock out of position went viral on Chinese social media networks . Air safety expert Guang Yu told local media: \u2018It is probably not dangerous because there are various safety measures in place but it shows an extremely sloppy and careless attitude on behalf of the cabin crew.\u2019 Chinese state media agency Xinhua quoted an Air China spokesman as saying that the airline conducted a thorough investigation, including interviews with the plane\u2019s crew and other staff, after the photo surfaced online. It said the investigation found that the lock was in the \u2018normal\u2019 position when the flight took off. A Boeing specialist quoted by Chinese state media said that human error or a mechanical problem with the lock could result in an external lock being out of position. Air China said an investigation found that the lock was in the proper position when the flight departed . The expert added that a mechanical problem would not affect flight safety because of another locking system operated from within the cabin.

+{"article": "Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is quite a mouthful. Which is why locals refer to this region of lakes, castles, and beaches in the North-east of Germany as MV, or Meck-Pom. The Pom refers to Pomerania, now mostly in Poland. It has a long coastline on the Baltic and is the third largest of Germany's 16 Laender - but the least populated. So you can walk for miles on a sandy strand or drive all day on the autobahn and not see a sausage, except in your lunch. Back in focus: 'Meck-Pom' offers blissful beaches along Germany's Baltic Sea coastline . After World War II, Meck-Pom was part of Communist East Germany, which might account for its low profile. The regime concentrated on the cities and neglected the countryside, so castles and seaside resorts deteriorated. Since reunification 25 years ago, all that has changed. The result is a clutch of wonderful hotels and beautifully-run resorts. The sea accounts for the region's ancient wealth and the cities along the coast - Wismar, Rostock, Stralsund and Greifswald - were part of the 13th-century trading confederation, the Hanseatic League, which did business with Scandinavians and Slavs around the Baltic. Two of the cities, Wismar and Stralsund, are World Heritage Sites. Towering medieval cathedrals and customs houses on market squares as big as football pitches are built of ancient revolutionary red-brick, moulded and baked from the sodden clay. The harbour has bars, cafes and shops for windsurfers, anglers and bucket-and-spaders. On the road, go-kart tracks and wildlife parks fill gaps between the farms and forests. A day's fishing off a boat costs \u20ac39 (\u00a327), including lunch from a stewpot. At the beach resorts of Boltenhagen and Warnemunde, holidaymakers on hire bikes (\u00a36.50 a day) pedal through pine-filled parks to the sea-front. A steam train called Molli plies a coastal route to Heiligendamm, location of the five-star Grand Hotel. It has a sanatorium, a Michelin-star chef, a castle (for weddings) and a children's house with games. Quietly charming: The pretty Alte Markt square in Stralsund sums up the region's appeal . Meck-Pom is a refuge in peace and war. Forewarned of the Allied bombing, citizens of Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden fled here. 'The castles were full of refugees,' says Freiherr Helmuth von Maltzahn, proprietor of 16th-century Schloss Ulrichshusen, which his ancestor Ulrich built among the inland lakes. Helmuth, born in 1949, bought back his burnt-out family home and turned it into a 40-room hotel. At sunset, cranes fly over the lakes in their thousands in what looks, for a moment, like an intricate, interweaving MV-formation. British Airways (0844 493 0787, www.ba.com) flies to Hamburg from \u00a379 return.

+{"article": "Yesterday, the Mail published a poignant photograph of actress Angelina Jolie's family, showing how cancer has claimed the lives of many of her relatives, including her mother, aunt and grandmother. Her mother, the actress Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer at the age of 56 in 2007. Her grandmother Lois Bertrand died of cancer aged 45 and her aunt Debbie - her mother's sister - lost her battle with the disease at 61. This strong family history comes from a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which dramatically raises the risk of ovarian and breast cancer. Scroll down for video . Angelina revealed she's had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed, after a preventative double mastectomy . To prevent herself following in the footsteps of her female relatives, Angelina last week revealed she's had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed (she had a 50 per cent risk of developing ovarian cancer). This comes two years after a preventative double mastectomy because of her raised risk of breast cancer. But while many people know that a greater risk of developing these cancers can be inherited, what is less well known is that it's not just down the female line; the risk can be passed on from your father's side of the family, too. Catherine Murley, a 44-year-old commercial manager from Rugby, inherited a high risk of breast and ovarian cancer from her father as result of a faulty BRCA1 gene. 'I never knew you could inherit a breast and ovarian cancer gene from a male relative,' she says. She only became aware of the faulty BRCA1 gene in her family tree last June, after suddenly hearing from her father Mike, 68, a retired teacher, after years of little contact. 'I received a text from my dad saying: \"Can we talk?\" ' she says. Her parents divorced when she was four and her mother brought her up with her sister Sinead, 40, and brother Andrew, 39. 'When I phoned my dad that evening, he explained that my cousin - his sister's daughter - had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and the family had found out she had the inherited faulty BRCA1 gene,' she says. Catherine Murley inherited the ovarian cancer gene from her father . 'My aunt - her mother - had died of ovarian cancer when she was in her 40s. After my cousin was diagnosed at the age of 40, the rest of that side of my dad's family went for genetic testing. 'That's when my dad was found to be positive for the faulty gene.' Catherine's father was told this meant he had a raised risk of prostate cancer and male breast cancer, and a slightly higher chance of pancreatic cancer. He was concerned that the faulty gene could have been passed to his children. 'I was aware of the BRCA1 connection because I had a close friend with it who died from breast cancer,' says Catherine. 'But I assumed it was something related to women and didn't know it could be passed by men, too.'

They found a tiny parasite, Pleistophora mulleri, not only significantly increased cannibalism among shrimp, but made infected shrimp more voracious, taking much less time to consume their victims. A tiny parasite, Pleistophora mulleri, significantly increased cannibalism among shrimp - and caused them to eat in a frenzy . Dr Alison Dunn said: 'Our research does not suggest any link between parasites and human cannibalism. 'There is evidence that parasites can affect human behaviour. 'A study led by Dr Glenn McConkey, also of the University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences, has shown that the parasite Toxoplasma gondii directly affects the chemistry of the human brain. 'However, cannibalism for the shrimp, unlike in humans, is a significant source of food even in uninfected animals. 'It seems unlikely that a parasite would be under evolutionary pressure to influence cannibalism in humans.' Researchers from the University of Leeds, Queen's University Belfast and Stellenbosch University in South Africa published their study in in Royal Society Open Science today. They found a tiny parasite, Pleistophora mulleri, not only significantly increased cannibalism among the indigenous shrimp Gammarus duebeni celticus but made infected shrimp more voracious, taking much less time to consume their victims. Dr Alison Dunn, Reader in Evolutionary Biology in the University of Leeds' Faculty of Biological Sciences, who led the study, said: 'Cannibalism is actually fairly common in nature. Our work is the first study to ask if cannibalism is affected by being parasitised.' The research, published in Royal Society Open Science today, reports that although consumption of juveniles by adults is a normal feature of the shrimp's feeding patterns, shrimp infected with the parasite ate twice as much of their own kind as uninfected animals. They attacked juvenile shrimp more often and consumed them more quickly than did uninfected shrimp. Mandy Bunke, a PhD student at the University of Leeds who was the key researcher on the study, said: 'Although the parasite is tiny\u2014similar in size to a human red blood cell\u2014there are millions of them in the host muscle and they all rely on the host for food. 'This increased demand for food by the parasites may drive the host to be more cannibalistic.' Dr Dunn added: 'The parasite is quite debilitating. It takes over huge areas of the muscle, so instead of a nice transparent shrimp you get quite a chalky appearance because of muscles packed with the parasite. 'Interestingly, our group has also found previously that infected shrimp may be able to catch and eat less prey of other animal species. 'Perhaps cannibalism of smaller shrimp is the only way these sick animals can survive.' The latest study also found that uninfected adult shrimp were less likely to cannibalize infected juvenile shrimp than uninfected juveniles.

The German airline, which owns the budget carrier, offered to pay up to 50,000 euros per passenger, for immediate financial assistance. However, the relatives could receive multi-million pound compensation settlements if they can prove that Lufthansa knew about the co-pilot's mental health difficulties. Sicknotes found at Andreas Lubitz's apartment in Dusseldorf by German police could form a key part of any legal case launched by the families.

German president Joachim Gauck, left, joined relatives at a public mourning service in Haltern . Friends of 16 students killed in Tuesday's disaster hugged each other outside the emotional memorial service . Andreas Lubitz, pictured, is believed to have hidden a mental health illness from his employers . German newspaper Bild reported that Lufthansa's Aeromedical Centre has passed internal documents to investigating authorities which claimed that Lubitz suffered from depression and anxiety during training and went through a 'serious depressive episode'. Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, has so far refused to comment on whether they had any concerns over Lubitz's mental health. Ordinarily, the families of air disasters are entitled to a maximum of around \u00a3100,000 under international agreements. But if a family decides to sue, this figure could rise dramatically depending on the degree of negligence by the airline and the level of awareness their loved ones would have had on their impending doom. As well as looking at Lubitz, lawyers for the families could question the airline's policy of not requiring at least two crew on the flight deck at all times once the aircraft is airborne. Relatives of some of Tuesday's victims have reacted angrily to the discovery of the torn up sick note and questions over Lubitz's mental health. Lufthansa's Chief Executive Carsten Spohr refused to respond to questions about Lubitz's mental health . Christian Driessens, whose 59-year-old brother, Claude, died in the crash said: 'When you first learn that, you don\u2019t believe it, we try to tell ourselves that it\u2019s not possible. 'Looking back, I slowly start to be angry. I don\u2019t understand how a serious company can let a depressed man pilot a plane. \u2018Because the boy was depressed, it was necessary to say he was. On this point I am opposed to the company not having introduced rules saying there must always be two people in the cockpit. \u2018I\u2019ve fallen over backwards. It\u2019s not normal to leave somebody by himself in charge, and who shuts the doors, I\u2019m very angry.' Passengers would have been soon aware of captain Patrick Sonderheimer's attempts to break into his own cockpit after Lubitz deliberately locked him outside.

Trees are absorbing up to a tenth less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during droughts and the forests actually emit more carbon than they capture. The last dry spell in 2010 saw the forest release eight billion tonnes - as much as the annual emissions of China and Russia combined. Worsening droughts in the Amazon - dubbed the 'lungs of the world' - are speeding up climate change, scientists have warned. Pictured is an view of a river boat trapped on the Lago do Cristo Reis during one of the worst droughts ever recorded on October 21, 2005 in the Amazon region in Brazil . In an average year the basin absorbs about 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere but prolonged dry spells are due to become more common. The Oxford University study provides the first direct evidence of the rate at which individual trees in Earth's greatest rainforest 'inhale' carbon from the atmosphere during a severe dry spell. It found photosynthesis - the process by which trees convert the greenhouse gas into energy - slowed down by 10 per cent over six months. Dr Christopher Doughty said: 'Tropical rainforests have been popularly thought of as the 'lungs' of the planet. The latest findings published in Nature confirm fears that the days of the legendary rainforest curbing the impact of rising emissions could be coming to an end. A researcher is pictured here measuring tree diameters in Tambopata National Park, Peru, soon after the 2010 drought . 'Here we show for the first time during severe drought the rate at which they 'inhale' carbon through photosynthesis can decrease.' The 2005 drought in the Amazon was described as a 'once a century' event - but five years later an even worse one followed raising concerns about the region's capacity to continue soaking up carbon dioxide. The latest findings published in Nature confirm fears that the days of the legendary rainforest curbing the impact of rising emissions could be coming to an end. The 2010 drought saw the Amazon River at its lowest levels for half a century with several tributaries completely dry and more than 20 municipalities declaring a state of emergency. Both droughts were associated with unusually warm seas in the Atlantic Ocean off the Brazilian coast - the suspected result of manmade emissions - and suggesting drought years in the Amazon could become more common. Some computer models of climate change project more droughts across the region as the planet warms - and a diminishing capacity to absorb CO2. Last month, a Nasa satellite revealed the stunning link between the Sahara desert and the Amazon rainforest. For the first time it showed vast dust clouds travelling high in the atmosphere.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh told India's parliament on Wednesday the comments of Mukesh Singh, one of five men convicted over the 2012 attack in New Delhi, were 'highly derogatory and an affront to the dignity of women'.

'It will not allow any organisation to leverage such an incident and use it for commercial purpose,' he said of the film, which charts the aftermath of the fatal gang-rape. Singh's comments in the Rajya Sabha, India's upper house, came after a New Delhi court late Tuesday issued an order banning media from showing the film, 'India's Daughter'. The reasons for the court ban were not immediately clear, but some in India have expressed concern that a convicted rapist was being given a platform for his views. Spokesman Rajan Bhagat said the New Delhi police had petitioned the court for a ban on the grounds that the film's 'objectionable content' could cause public disorder. The physiotherapy student died from her injuries 13 days after she was savagely attacked on a bus while on her way home from the cinema. The incident triggered violent protests in India. It highlighted the frightening level of violence against women in the world's second most populous country and led to a major reform of India's rape laws, speeding up trials and increasing penalties. India's NDTV network was due to have shown the documentary to mark International Women's Day on Sunday, when it will also be broadcast in six other countries including Britain. Udwin said she was heart-broken by the ban on the documentary, in which Mukesh Singh said the 23-year-old victim was to blame for her own death. He said: 'A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night .... Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes.'

Cole, one of the few England stars to depart Dublin with his reputation enhanced last Sunday, revealed the extent of the frustration within the England squad at their misfiring display when their Grand Slam dream was broken by a series of tactical and technical blunders.

This after the men had reportedly been drinking at a late-night retirement party for Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan (above) The agency said the two agents have been reassigned to non-supervisory, non-operational jobs. The Washington Post reports that the men had been at a bar to celebrate the retirement of departing Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan. Connolly and Ogilvie have declined to comment, though it is believed that the incident was likely caught on Secret Service video, which feeds to the agency's command center. According to witnesses, the two men had their flashing lights on and were showing their badges as they tried to get through a section of the grounds that had been closed as a suspicious package was being investigated at around 10:30pm. It was then that they struck the barricade, after also driving through some security tape. It is illegal to use the flashing lights on a government vehicle without a security reason, or to drive a vehicle after consuming any alcohol.

Three hours after meeting his team-mates for the first time, Henry walked out onto the pitch at Hillsborough and was instrumental in the victory that just about keeps Blackburn's play-off hopes alive.

A man who almost hacked his girlfriend to death with a meant cleaver before going to a Halloween party covered in her blood has been jailed for life. Kerry Roberts slashed 44-year-old Ashley Arnold's throat and chest after in a 'frenzied' attack after accusing her of taking drugs behind his back, a court was told. He then went to the Halloween party in Colchester, Essex, wearing just his boxers and told his daughter, Linzi, who was hosting the party: 'I've killed her, she's dead.' Roberts, known as Wart, was due to stand trial charged with attempted murder but changed his plea to guilty when he appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday. Today he was sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of nine years. Sentencing Roberts, Judge Charles Gratwicke said: 'You embarked on an unprovoked, murderous, frenzied and sustained attack on Ms Arnold in which you viciously and mercilessly attempted to butcher her to death with a meat cleaver. 'The injuries you inflicted on that women were horrific. The most significant being a severe, gaping wound to the neck running from ear to ear. 'But for the intervention of skilled medical professionals, I am certain she would have died. This was a brutal and callous attempt to kill.' Roberts, 49, had been seen acting strangely while at the party with his then-girlfriend Ms Arnold earlier in the evening of 1 November last year. He told one guest he was in love with Ms Arnold but was convinced she was going to die. The couple left the party at 10pm and returned to Ms Arnold's home in Jaywick, Essex. Mother-of-four Ms Arnold suffered severe cuts to her throat, running almost from ear to ear, when Roberts attacked her, the court heard. She also sustained a 6in cut from her armpit to her right breast and suffered severe injuries to her hands when she tried to defend herself.

Speaking at South By Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday, the 44-year-old defended the headset by saying it just used cameras that were already in existence. He also slammed the way people use Google[x] to highlight privacy concerns. Scroll down for video . Dr Astro Teller (pictured) , director of Google's secret X lab, has described Google Glass as the 'poster child' for privacy issues - but insisted we'll 'be seeing a lot more' of the technology very soon. The claims were made at South By Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday . Speaking to DailyMail.com after the talk, Dr Teller also gave a rare glimpse into the workings of Google[x], and made a rallying call for diversity in every industry. 'Google Glass did not move the needle,' he explained. 'It was literally a rounding error on the number of cameras in your life.' The 'smart glasses', which act as a computer screen in front of your eyes, sparked furious debate when they were rolled out to the general public - which Dr Teller concedes was a mistake. In a bid to get feedback on the first prototype, 'we did things which encouraged people to think of this as a finished product'. Project Wing's aircraft have a wingspan of approximately 1.5m (4.9ft) and have four electrically-driven propellers. The total weight, including the package to be delivered, is approximately 10kg (22lb). The aircraft itself accounts for the bulk of that at 8.5kg (18.7lb). The hybrid 'tail sitter' design has wings for fast forward flight, and rotors for hovering for delivery and vertical take-off and landing. Dual mode operation gives the self-flying vehicle some of the benefits of both planes and helicopters. It can take off or land without a runway, and can hold its position hovering in one spot to gently drop packages. Packages are stored in the drone's 'belly' then dropped on a string before being gently lowered to the ground. At the end of the tether, there's a little bundle of electronics the team call the 'egg,' which detects that the package has hit the ground, detaches from the delivery, and is pulled back up into the body of the vehicle. And though it has disappeared from the market for further testing, he assured DailyMail.com 'you'll be seeing a lot more of Google Glass very soon.' Another source of controversy is the self-driving car, with fears that technical glitches - even by accident - could pose as a significant safety hazard. Laughing, Dr Teller dismissed that theory. 'People text when they're meant to actually be driving. So imagine what they do when they think the car's got it under control. 'The assumption that humans can be a reliable back-up for the system is a total fallacy.' For now, the focus is on Project Wing, autonomous drones which could deliver products across a city", "summary": "Dr Astro Teller described Google Glass as 'poster child' for privacy issues .

Scroll down for video . Matthaeus Schwartz commissioned pictures of his flamboyant outfits over a 40 year period from the 1520s .

Fascinated by clothes, the flamboyant dresser began recording his appearance on parchment paper in 1520, during a time when strict laws governed the kinds of fabrics each social rank and station could wear.

But police spokesman Mohammad Haruna said it seemed doubtful the girl was a bomber and described her as the victim of 'mob action carried out by an irate crowd'.

The first female suicide bombing was reported in June 2014 when a middle-aged woman blew herself up at army barracks in Gombe, northeast Nigeria. This incident was the first in a wave of suicide attacks by women and girls in Nigeria. There were then six such attacks in six weeks. Since November there have been several attacks by female suicide bombers each month. In total, 27 women and girls have reportedly been involved in suicide attacks in the country.

Easterby watched in horror as Ireland chased a points-difference boosting final try rather than punt the ball out for full-time in Italy eight years ago, only to concede a pivotal converted score. Roland de Marigny plundered the last-gasp score for the Azzurri, with Ireland winning out 54-21: France then hammered Scotland 46-19 to swipe the title on points-difference - by just a four-point margin. The Ireland squad warm up ahead of training on Thursday, with Johnny Sexton (centre) involved again . Rory Best (left) and Jamie Heaslip (right) arrive at training ahead of the crucial game against Scotland . Ireland coach Simon Easterby has urged his team not to repeat the mistakes of 2007, when he was involved . Easterby has moved from flanker in 2007 to forwards coach in 2015 - but knows Ireland face a similar situation and is wary of the pitfalls of chasing glory rather than focusing on victory. Ireland can still retain their Six Nations title with victory in Edinburgh on Saturday. England's Twickenham clash with France kicks off last though, and Easterby is keen to avoid any repeat of that 2007 pain. 'It is exactly that, you've got to focus on what you can do in that 80 minutes,' said Easterby, recalling Ireland's aborted 2007 title challenge. 'We've got to focus on what we can produce in Murrayfield. 'The performance first and foremost will give us the right result and what goes outside of our environment in Rome and London is exactly that, outside our control and we can't factor that into what we're doing in the 80 minutes against Scotland.

England were forced to watch television in frustration last year as Ireland claimed the Six Nations title with victory in Paris, but back in 2007 it was the Irish themselves who suffered that fate. Easterby and company were forced to endure France stealing the 2007 title from under their noses, as Elvis Vermeulen claimed the last-ditch try that sealed glory for Les Bleus. To add insult to injury, Vermeulen's title-winning try was awarded by Irish television match official Simon McDowell. Ireland's players were understandably stony-faced when the reality of that 2007 situation hit home - but Easterby has revealed this week that he has effectively shut that video nasty out of his mind.

Drastic measures: Governor Mike Pence said Wednesday he's mulling a needle exchange and other programs aimed at curbing the rise in infection rates that has been tied to intravenous drug use in southern Indiana . Pence says he will be issuing an executive order Thursday morning to tackle the growing issue, and says although he opposes needle exchanges, that option is on the table. A CDC report in 2005 on syringe exchange programs found those types of interventions were cost-effective ways of preventing blood-borne infections like HIV. 'The cost [of preventing one] HIV infection by SEPs has been calculated at $4,000 to $12,000, considerably less than the estimated $190,000 medical costs of treating a person infected with HIV,' the report stated, with dollars calculated in their 1997 values.

Curry, who is married to a sheriff's deputy, had pleaded guilty last month to custodial sexual misconduct and other charges stemming from her contact with Delgado Galban. Authorities said the sexual misconduct occurred while a deputy was at lunch, when Curry, a civilian jail services technician, was alone in the unit's control room, reports The Oregonian. Curry pushed a button to unlock the inmate's cell and the pair would then meet in a supply closet to have sexual relations. This occurred 13 times, said prosecutor Jeff Lesowski.

Cecil Clayton, from Purdy, is set to be put to death at the state prison in Bonne Terre at 6pm on Tuesday for the November 1996 shooting of Barry County Sheriff's Deputy Christopher Castetter. But his attorneys are arguing that mental illness and an intellectual disability, which is the result of a traumatic brain injury, make the 74-year-old ineligible for execution, NBC reported. Their last-ditch effort to save his life comes after the Missouri Supreme Court refused to halt the execution over the same claims. On Saturday, the court issued the 4-3 ruling that he should die. Facing death: Cecil Clayton is scheduled to die in Missouri on Tuesday evening but his lawyers are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop it. Years before he murdered a cop, he had part of his brain removed, they say . Missing: A brain scan shared by his lawyers show a significant section of his brain is missing . His lawyers have explained that in 1972, 24 years before he killed the officer, Clayton was using a sawmill when a board splintered and a shard went into his head above his right eye. Doctors were forced to remove 20 per cent of his frontal lobe, the area of the brain that controls decision making and emotions, the St Louis Post-Dispatch reported. A scan shared by his attorney Elizabeth Unger Carlyle shows a large section missing from his brain. Following the accident and before the arrest, Clayton frequently went to mental health facilities, spending up to 15 months at a time under psychiatric care. Then the evening before Thanksgiving in 1996, Deputy Castetter responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle parked outside Clayton's girlfriend's mother's home. Earlier that night, Clayton and his girlfriend had been arguing, and prosecutors said he then took a loaded gun to her mother's house. Clayton walked up to the deputy's patrol car window and shot him in the head at point-blank range. Castetter, a 29-year-old married father-of-three, died in the hospital later that day. He was convicted of the murder in October 1997 and sentenced to death later that year. His attorneys have argued that he was mentally incompetent to stand trial but despite their appeals, state and federal appeals courts have upheld the conviction and the death penalty. His lawyers are seeking a competency hearing to determine whether he understands his death penalty. Killed: Barry County Sheriff's Deputy Christopher Castetter, pictured left, was shot dead by Clayton, pictured right in an old mug shot, as he responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle in 1996 . At the weekend, when the Missouri Supreme Court issued its decision, three of the seven judges agreed that he is entitled to a competency hearing. Mental health professionals who have examined him agree that he is mentally impaired and has mental health issues, including dementia.

Aeromobil is a 'flying car' that can fit in a standard parking space, and could both take off and land at any airport in the world. When in flight mode, it can go 430 miles, reaching 124mph - but can fold up its wings to travel on the road and fit in a single parking space. Aeromobil is a 'flying car' that perfectly makes use of existing infrastructure created for automobiles and planes, and opens doors to real door-to-door travel,' the firm says. When in its car configuration, it can fit into a standard parking space, and it also takes normal fuel pumped at every service station. The latest version is the third generation of the craft. 'It is now finalised and has been in regular flight-testing program in real flight conditions since October 2014,' the firm said. At South By Southwest, Juraj Vaculik, co-founder and CEO of AeroMobil, spoke at a panel about the future of flying cars, predicting a world ahead in which these vehicles easily merge with existing transportation. He says it will be on sale in 2017, and that the firm was also developing a self driving (and flying) version. Tatiana Veber, an AeroMobil spokesman said: 'We have been developing the concept of a flying car since 1990. 'Our first model looked quite bizarre and it would have problems in the regular use. 'That was a signal to improve the concept of the flying car in a way to become an integral part of the regular road traffic. The winds fold behind the driver of the car when it is on the road .

When the donation was announced last week a Labour spokesman said the party was 'delighted' that Mr Blair had put his own money behind the effort to get Ed Miliband into Downing Street. In a letter to the 106 candidates - including Ms Brennan - Mr Blair said: 'As the final countdown to the general election begins, I am writing to wish you every success in your efforts to be elected and also to make a donation to your campaign. 'I know how hard it can be to raise money to fund a local campaign, but for you, in one of our 106 battleground seats, it is even more vital.

+{"article": "More than 200,000 British second home owners are celebrating a decisive victory over French tax laws. The European Court of Justice has ruled that President Hollande's eye-watering charge targeting second homes violated European law, the Telegraph reported. As a result, Britons who have rented out or sold second homes in France over the past three years can look forward to receiving tens of millions of euros in reimbursement from the French government. Victoire: British citizens who own second homes in France, like this attractive stone manoir in Sarlat-la-Caneda, southern France, left, will no longer have to pay the large 'social contribution' charge levied by French President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande, right, and can apply to the French government for a payout . In 2012, Fran\u00e7ois Hollande's Socialist government introduced painful new charges on second home owners, which hit hundreds of thousands of Britons. Tax on rental income from second homes was raised from 20 per cent to 35.5 per cent, while capital gains tax was increased from 19 to 34.5 per cent. A mandatory, 15.5 per cent 'social contribution' was introduced on both capital gains and rental income, raising an additional \u20ac250 million a year for the French welfare system. This, the French finance ministry said, would 'remove an unjustified tax advantage' for ex-patriot owners. The measures caused uproar among British owners of French property. It meant they were paying towards a social security system from which they would not benefit, on top of paying towards the welfare state in Britain. Moreover, since the charge was categorised as a 'contribution' rather than a tax, it did not qualify for Britain's double-taxation treaty with France, meaning that British second home owners were effectively being taxed twice. According to calculations by the Telegraph, this meant that a British couple who bought a French home for \u20ac200,000 20 years ago and sold it for \u20ac750,000 would be forced to pay a painful \u20ac60,000 'social contribution' on top of standard capital gains tax, which would not be acknowledged by the UK tax system. But now the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, the EU's highest court, ruled that the 'social contribution' charge violated EU law because it is illegal for EU citizens to contribute towards the social security systems of two member states at once. 'A person exercising an activity in one Member State is only subject to social security regulation of that Member State', said Eleanor Sharpston, the EU's top legal advisor. Experts in French tax law are advising anybody who may be affected by the ruling to submit a claim to the French tax authorities as soon as possible, also demanding a refund of fees charged by tax agents. British couples duped into buying illegal Spanish homes finally have a reason to celebrate after a decade of campaigning led to a change in the law. During the property boom, Britons who dreamed of spending their retirement in sunny Spain forked out their life savings to buy new homes - only to find they had been built illegally and could be demolished and were not guaranteed compensation.", "summary": "In 2012, Fran\u00e7ois Hollande's Socialist government introduced painful new charges on British second home owners .

But a catastrophic shortage of whiskey could soon be on the way with anecdotal reports suggesting the demand for bourbon is about to outstrip supply. Now, some distillers have taken heed of the warnings and are coming up with radical new ways to mature whiskey to its full potential faster than ever before. Whiskey lovers all over the world will tell you the key to the perfect bourbon is time. But a catastrophic shortage of whiskey could soon be the way with anecdotal reports suggesting the demand for bourbon is about to outstrip supply . According to a report by Tasha Eichensehert in Nautilus, the popularity of bourbon last year saw 19 million cases sold, generating $2.7 billion in revenue. She claims that through a series of inventive ageing methods, manufacturers have been able to cut the two-to-20-year process into just days and months. The ageing of whiskey usually takes place in 200-litres (53 American gallons) barrels made from seasoned American white oak, Quercus alba. These barrels are charred, breaking down the lignin in the wood into compounds called aldehydes. Adding alcohol to the barrel causes oxidation which transforms the aldehydes into acids. Changes in heat within the barrel then give whiskey its complex flavour. Through a series of inventive ageing methods, manufacturers have been able to cut the two-to-20-year process whiskey ageing process into just days and months . Nautilus reports that Tuthilltown Spirits in Gardiner, New York - the makers of Hudson Baby Bourbon \u2013 are now letting the alcohol settle in 2- to 5-gallon oak barrels. This, they say, increases the alcohol-to-barrel-surface ratio, causing the whiskey to mature faster, cutting the time down to around four months. Meanwhile Copper Fox Distillery in Virginia is adding toasted oak chips their barrel, in another attempt to increase the alcohol-to-surface ratio. One distillery in South Carolina claims it has cut the process down to just eight hours. Terressentia, near Charleston, first filters the whiskey in plastic tanks. There are concerns that pubs could become a thing of the past as thousands close each year due to spiralling production costs. But a new machine could help landlords feeling the pinch, because it can produce pints that cost just 35 pence (53 cents) each. The Truebrew Technobrewery can make 280 pints of beer in just two hours at the touch of a button. A similar size to an industrial oven, the machine is intended for business use and will cost around \u00a325,000 ($38,000). The machine allows landlords to brew their own beer for a quarter of the price of buying it in from a brewery. The machine is filled it with water, and then ingredients including hops are placed inside. It's then switched on for two hours. The machine is self-cleaning and the beer is ready to drink seven days later. This speeds up the aldehyde and acid reaction creating chemical compounds that can be consumed in a matter of hours. Entrepreneurs have also created home tools for people", "summary": "Tuthilltown Spirits is now letting the alcohol settle in 2 gallon barrels .

TV weatherman Fred Talbot has been jailed for five years for indecently assaulting two schoolboys when he was a teacher. Talbot, 65, a regular on the floating weather map in Liverpool's Albert Dock for ITV's This Morning show, was described as a 'chancer' who used his 'extrovert personality' to gain the trust of his victims. Talbot, who was cleared of assaulting three other boys, was sentenced by Judge Timothy Mort at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court today. The judge told him: 'You deliberately and indecently assaulted the two of them for your own gratification.' Talbot, who sat in the dock wearing glasses and a purple jumper over a shirt and grey trousers, showed no emotion as he was jailed. He appeared relaxed as he entered the dock and acknowledged people in the packed courtroom. Suzanne Goddard QC, defending, said there was little that could be said in mitigation. She said Talbot had lost a stone in weight during his time in custody but was 'accustoming himself' to life in jail. Ms Goddard said: 'He knows he must now receive a custodial sentence. He has come to terms with that.' The jury at last month's trial heard that Talbot was 'obsessed' with teenage boys throughout his teaching career and 'could not help himself' around them when under the influence of drink.

Prosecutors said Talbot's modus operandi was to first establish his 'good guy credentials' and then to break down the proper teacher-pupil boundaries, leaving his victims confused as he made his advances. Talbot, of Bowdon, Greater Manchester, was convicted of two counts of indecent assault in relation to two victims and cleared of eight counts of indecent assault in relation to three other complainants. Talbot rose to fame when he presented weather forecasts from his floating map on ITV's This Morning . Four of the complainants were teenage pupils at Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, where Talbot taught biology, while the other attended a high school in Gateshead, where the defendant was at teacher training college. The former science teacher denied anything sexual or even inappropriate occurred between himself and the Altrincham pupils, while he said sexual activity with the Gateshead complainant only happened when the boy had turned 16. Both of Talbot's victims were assaulted on school canal barge trips in the Cheshire area in the mid 1970s. The first victim, who thought he was 14 at the time, said the teacher abused him after a mock naked orgy involving up to 10 boys and Talbot. Talbot told him to share a bed with him as there were not enough bunk beds to go round and performed a sex act on him.

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams is facing calls to apologise to the family of a man who bled to death after being shot three times in an IRA punishment attack. Andrew Kearney, 33, was abducted from his West Belfast flat and shot by masked raiders in July 1998 weeks after allegedly punching a senior IRA member during a bar brawl. His sister Eleanor King said Mr Adams privately apologised for the killing of the father-of-one but has refused to do so publicly. Speaking as part of an RT\u00c9 documentary about paramilitary 'punishment attacks', she said: 'He should have come forward and told the IRA what to do. 'As in to come forward and admit it publicly. And, yes, give a public apology. 'And in my opinion, if he had done that, even if he didn't call for anybody to be arrested or anything, but just even the public apology and the public acceptance, it would have caused the family a lot less heartache over the years.' King said her family had been republicans their whole lives and that her mother Maureen welcomed Gerry Adams 'with open arms' after her son had been killed. 'The first thing he told us was that he was extending an apology from the top of the republican movement,' she said. Sinn F\u00e9in MLA Alex Maskey told the programme that Adams acknowledges meeting the family but is unaware of what was said. The documentary also features Thomas Marley, whose son Gerard took his own life in 1997 after he was the victim of two punishment attacks. Mr Marley said: '(The IRA) kept on doing it, killing people with their shotguns blowing legs off, using bars. They thought it was fun, it was the right thing. But it wasn't.' Punishment attacks by paramilitaries were common during The Troubles and were often supported by local communities. They increased after the 1994 ceasefires. They began in majority republican communities but loyalist paramilitaries soon began carrying out their own punishment attacks. In 1998, Andrew Peden was packing up his car for a trip to the seaside with his young family when he was abducted by the Ulster Volunteer Force. Andrew Kearney, 33, (right) was shot three times in an IRA punishment attack and his sister Eleanor King (left) is now calling for an apology from Mr Adams .

The attack happened just three weeks after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement and its promise of a bright future for the people of Northern Ireland. During the Troubles, most of the attacks took place in North and West Belfast.

Marshall, said in all his 19 years experience on the bench, he had never seen anyone more evil. The jury also had no doubt of her guilt, convicting after less than six hours of deliberation. Jailed: A jury spent less than six hours deliberating whether Edwina Louis raped, tortured and abused her four grandchildren who were all under-12. The three girls and one boy spoke of how they were staved and beaten . Along with four counts of rape, she was also found guilty of a number of other serious charges including child endangerment and kidnapping. 'This woman, who never shed a tear or showed even an ounce of remorse, will never get out of prison,' Scioto County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Pat Apel said. 'That's the right thing.' The trial took almost a week as stories of rape, torture and abuse of the three girls and one boy were laid bare before the courtroom. The children described being tied up for long periods of time, even weeks, being untied only long enough to attend online classes and to go to the bathroom.

+{"article": "For Dave King, the battle for control of Rangers is all but over. The resignation of Ibrox chairman David Somers on Monday morning brought confirmation that the end of days has arrived for this reviled current plc board. Yet, the hard work starts here as King and his backers try to revive an institution that has been more akin to a circus than a football club in the chaotic last three years since administration, then liquidation, visited Govan. Here, Sportsmail looks at the tasks that will be taking priority in King\u2019s packed in-tray as he embarks on a rebuilding job that he and his team believe could take up to five years. Dave King is set to take control of Rangers after chairman Dave Somers resigned from post on Monday . 1. Appoint a new executive team . With the repayment of Mike Ashley\u2019s \u00a35million loan, and running costs of upwards of \u00a325m over the next two years, Rangers need a top-class executive team in place as quickly as possible to map out the club\u2019s financial future. After Friday\u2019s extraordinary general meeting, King will install his allies Paul Murray and John Gilligan as directors. The two remaining current plc directors, Derek Llambias, Rangers\u2019 chief executive, and Barry Leach, director of finance, are not expected to tender their resignations. But King\u2019s first move is expected to be to sack and replace them \u2014 whatever the cost. Not surprisingly to those following this rapacious Rangers saga, Llambias and Leach have both just been awarded bumper contracts, complete with lengthy notice periods. 2. Appoint a manager . Kenny McDowall tendered his resignation in January and the uncomfortable-looking 51-year-old keeps making it plain he does not want to be the manager of Rangers a minute longer than he absolutely has to. Under his management, performances have been poor with Rangers winning just two of their last six games. But it would take a collapse of monumental proportions for the Ibrox side to be overtaken by Falkirk and Queen of the South for a place in the play-offs. Stuart McCall is being viewed as the favourite for the post, while fans would love to see King bring back Walter Smith, even in a short-term capacity. But whoever the new manager is, the speedier the appointment, the more time he would have to set his players up for a push at promotion. What is unarguable is this: the new man needs to coax better performances than managed by Ally McCoist and McDowall if Rangers are to overcome a Hibs side that has swatted them aside with ease in the Championship this season. Interim Rangers manager Kenny McDowall does not want the job a minute longer than he has to . 3. Player recruitment . There are 12 Rangers first-team players out of contract in the summer.

+{"article": "Joe Biden made yet another of his trademark gaffes today as he met Ireland's prime minister to mark St Patrick's Day - then suggested one side of its sectarian divide was unwelcome in Washington. Sporting a green tie and noticing that everyone else was also wearing one, or clad in green, he suddenly blurted: 'Anyone wearing orange is not welcome in here.' The purported joke was a reference to Ireland's religious and political divide which was at the heart of the Troubles, the violence which killed 3,000 from the late 1960s until the start of the millennium. Orange is the color associated with the Protestant majority in Northern Ireland, and overcoming sectarian tensions has been a major part of the effort to bring peace to the once-deeply troubled province. Enda Kenny, the Irish prime minister \u2013 whose official title is Taoiseach \u2013 and his wife Fionnuala Kenny, the guests of honour, both laughed nervously. They said nothing, but continued to smile for the cameras. Scroll down for video .

I'm with...: Vice president Joe Biden points at shamrock worn in his breast pocket to mark St Patrick's Day . After a brief pause, Mr Biden declared: 'Only joking.' He then welcomed the Kennys, Irish Ambassador Anne Anderson and the Irish entourage into the Naval Observatory in Washington, his official residence. The Vice Pesident made no further reference to his blurted-out bad joke, but at one point in his breakfast remarks appeared to refer to the Taoiseach's wife as 'Fiona', although he subsequently corrected it to Fionnuala. Northern Irish Protestants traditionally wear orange during their annual summer parades, while green is used as a symbol by mostly Catholic Irish nationalists and is a theme of St Patrick's Day celebrations around the world. In Northern Ireland, there was an immediate demand from a senior Unionist for an apology. 'Whether they were intended as a joke or not, the comments are a slur on those who would be known as 'orange' i.e. Protestants,' said the Rev William McCrea, a member of the British parliament for the Democratic Unionist Party. 'When Northern Ireland is making such an effort to make St Patrick's Day an inclusive celebration, Joe Biden's comments were disgraceful and careless,' he added. Asked about the request for an apology, an official in Biden's office said the vice president had made clear that he was joking. Biden's mother, Catherine Finnegan, was of Irish origin. Her ancestors had moved to Ireland in the wake of the potato famine. The Vice President made another minor blunder later when he read a quote from a Yeats poem he described as 'Easter Sunday 1916', when the word Sunday is not in the title. The poem was about the Easter Rising, when Irish rebels began a violent attempt to force Ireland to become independent from the United Kingdom, which succeeded five years later.

George Osborne infuriated Tory MPs yesterday after he refused to commit to spending 2 per cent of Britain\u2019s national income on defence \u2013 despite a steep rise in the foreign aid budget. The Chancellor dodged the question repeatedly during a post-Budget interview, even though there is growing pressure from politicians and military chiefs. Mr Osborne refused four times to guarantee that he would meet the 2 per cent target in the next Parliament, saying only: \u2018We are promising to keep our country safe.\u2019 Last night Tory MPs, who have been campaigning to have the commitment enshrined in the Tory party manifesto, were enraged by the Chancellor\u2019s response given escalating tensions with Russia and the rise of Islamic State. They are particularly angry given that the Government has committed itself to spending at least 0.7 per cent of GDP \u2013 currently around \u00a312billion a year \u2013 on foreign aid. Tory MP Sir Gerald Howarth, a former defence minister, said: \u2018Defence of the realm is the first duty of government and in these very dangerous times it seems to be inexplicable that the Tory party is unable to commit to maintaining the defence budget at 2 per cent in accordance with the Nato commitment. \u2018It doesn\u2019t make sense, especially when we are just one miscalculation away from a possible European war.\u2019 Tory MP Peter Bone echoed added: \u2018Two per cent should be a commitment in the Conservative Party manifesto. It is a Nato target and we are now putting 0.7 per cent of national income into overseas aid. If you can do it for overseas aid then you can definitely do it for defence.\u2019 The Institute for Fiscal Studies warned that it would be impossible to meet such demands to protect defence spending without imposing huge cuts on other areas of spending such as policing, transport and energy \u2013 especially with health, schools and foreign aid already protected. Economist Soumaya Keynes said that unprotected departments are already facing real terms budget cuts averaging 9.4 per cent by 2020. Protecting defence spending at 2 per cent would mean that other departments would have to be slashed by 16.4 per cent. Yesterday Mr Osborne told Radio 4\u2019s Today programme that the Tory party was \u2018not proposing deeper cuts\u2019 to defence spending. But he failed to say whether the party would commit to the Nato target of 2 per cent. Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls (pictured with George Osborne) waded into row saying the Chancellor's desire to get an overall surplus by 2019/20 means even bigger cuts to police and defence forces in years .

An influential committee of MPs said that if Royal Mail wanted to increase profits, it must invest in new technology and focus on efficiency, rather than simply increase prices.

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer who found a colleague in his squad car covered in blood three nights after the Boston Marathon bombing frantically repeated two words into his radio 'officer down, officer down.' A recording of that radio call was played to jurors hearing the trial of accused bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, on Wednesday, as prosecutors turned to the charge that the defendant and his older brother murdered MIT police officer Sean Collier on April 18, 2013, in an unsuccessful attempt to steal his gun. Meanwhile, the MIT police chief revealed his last words to the 27-year-old officer in a wrenching fifth day of testimony in the long awaited Boston bomber trial. Chief John DiFava on Wednesday recalled chatting with Collier about an hour before his death. 'I told him to be safe, and I left,' DiFava said, adding it was the last time he saw Collier alive. The officer who found Collier, Sergeant Clarence Henniger, said he was responding to a 911 call about possible shots fired on MIT's Cambridge, Massachusetts, campus, just outside Boston. Collier had visible bullet wounds to his temple, neck and hand and was so covered in blood that Henniger struggled to pull him from his vehicle. 'I could hear gargling coming from his mouth,' Henniger testified at U.S. District Court in Boston, where the jury hearing Tsarnaev's trial will also decide whether to sentence him to death if he is convicted of killing three people and injuring 264 with a pair of homemade bombs at the April 15, 2013, race. Jurors also saw surveillance footage of two figures approaching Collier's police cruiser on the MIT campus, spending about a minute at the car, and leaving. The only visible suggestions of commotion in the video are the car's brake lights, flashing on and off. Collier's gun belt and holster were covered in blood, evidence of Tsarnaev's clumsy but unsuccessful effort to steal his handgun, prosecutors have said.

A Labour government propped up by the SNP has been voted the worst possible outcome at the general election - but Alex Salmond has insisted he will support Ed Miliband's bid for power come what may. Six out of 10 voters said they would be 'dismayed' by a Labour-SNP alliance. This compares with 54 per cent who said they did not want a Labour-Lib Dem coalition and 52 per cent dreading another pact between David Cameron and Nick Clegg, according to the pollsters YouGov. Despite the unpopularity of an SNP-Labour alliance, Mr Salmond - who has taken to drinking pink champagne in the afternoon - has revealed that the party will do whatever it can to make Mr Miliband Prime Minister in order to wring as many concessions out of him as possible. The revelation comes after David Cameron said Mr Miliband had given up trying to win the election outright and was pinning all his hopes on the SNP helping him over the line. The PM said Mr Salmond had taken the entire Labour Party hostage and was using Mr Miliband as his poodle. The attack, at Prime Minister's Questions, comes amid dire polls for Labour pointing to a landslide election victory for the SNP. Mr Salmond had earlier told the Spectator magazine that the SNP will use its power in Parliament after the election to block any attempt by the Tories to form a minority government - even if it had failed to strike a deal with Labour. The revelation makes the prospect of a Tory minority government less likely - while increasing the prospect of Mr Miliband becoming Prime Minister.

The sentence ends the long-running case against John Fesler Lance II, who was so defiant in his claim to the property that he spent nearly 30 years in prison for threats over its court-ordered sale and then confronted the owners as soon as he was free. John Fester Lance II threatened from behind bars to forcibly take back the western Montana ranch he lost in a 1979 divorce -- and has been sentenced to 75 years in prison for intimidating and stalking its owners . Lance told the judge Wednesday that if he were released, he would again try to take back the ranch. 'You effectively described why I could never put you on probation,' District Judge Jeffrey Langton said, 'and why I don't think you should ever be released from prison again.' Lance was convicted of felony intimidation, stalking, violating a protective order and trespassing . The defendant looked thin in his orange jumpsuit in court, saying he had been on a 10-day hunger strike and would fast without food or liquid until he dies. He went back to the state prison Wednesday. Lance spent 27 years behind bars after convictions beginning in the mid-1980s for intimidating judges, attorneys and others involved in the court-mandated sale of the ranch. In recent years, he sent letters to current owners Lee and Lucinda Hayne and their attorney that threatened to use all force necessary to take his ranch back, including kidnapping, the couple said. He was released from prison last March and showed up the next day at Lucinda Hayne's workplace. He spent April through July in jail for violating a court order of protection. Lance was arrested again after going to the ranch on Sept. 15 and arguing that the Haynes were trespassing and he had the right to use force to evict them. They held him at gunpoint until deputies arrived. Lance, who was acting as his own attorney, refused to participate in his February trial and was convicted of felony intimidation, stalking, violating a protective order and trespassing. Ravalli County Attorney Bill Fulbright sought a 75- to 100-year prison sentence, arguing that Lance 'refuses to follow the basic rules of society.' 'Given that, it's our belief that the only recourse we're left with is to put prison bars between this defendant and the community,' Fulbright said. The Haynes said it will be some time before they come off 'high alert' and can feel safe on their property near Florence.

But among the eager group of young men who had signed up to fight in the First World War together, one face stood out from the rest. Jogendra Sen rushed to join the queue of recruits to the Leeds \u2018Pals\u2019 Battalion when it was raised in September 1914 \u2013 and became the only non-white member of the 15th West Yorkshire Regiment. Yet were it not for a chance discovery almost a century later, his life \u2013 and death \u2013 might have been lost to history. A pair of broken and bloodstained spectacles in an Indian museum have shed light on the sacrifice of a volunteer who battled prejudice and racism to serve the country he made his home. They were the same glasses that \u2018Jon\u2019, as he was called by his English comrades, had worn in a photograph taken at a training camp in Yorkshire. Cruelly, the Bengal-born student\u2019s race had barred him from fulfilling his dream of being an officer in the British Army, even though he was highly educated and had earned a degree in electrical engineering from Leeds University. But it also won him a place in history. Because less than 20 months after that training camp photograph, Jogendra Sen was killed in action near the Somme on May 22, 1916. Academics believe that the 28-year-old private had become the first Bengali to die fighting for Britain in the war. Although many more would later serve on the Western Front in the Indian Army, at the beginning of the war, most Bengalis were banned from joining up in their own country because of racial prejudice. The catalyst that allowed the tale of Pte Sen\u2019s spectacles to emerge publicly was Dr Santanu Das, a reader in English at King\u2019s College London, who noticed them and some of his other belongings in a museum on a visit to Sen's home town of Chandernagore, some 22 miles north of Kolkata in West Bengal, India. One of the chaps: Private Sen, centre, and his comrades pose for a photograph at a training camp in 1914 . Poignant: Jogendra Sen's glasses and other belongings were discovered in a museum in India . A book of friendship quotes given to Private Jogendra Sen by 'Cis', believed to be Mary Cicely Newton . When the academic mentioned his discovery during a talk at Leeds University, a local researcher recalled seeing Sen\u2019s name on its war memorial. From this, Leeds researchers painstakingly pieced together one man\u2019s war. Sen had worked as an engineer while continuing with his studies.

Mourinho has guided Chelsea to the top of the Premier League this season, six points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City with a game in hand, and it seems his methods are getting results. Captain Terry says that the Portuguese coach is unpredictable, calmly reacting to games when Chelsea are struggling or kicking off with his players when they are winning. Jose Mourinho keeps his Chelsea team on their toes, according to captain John Terry . Terry says Mourinho can flip tables over when Chelsea are winning but stay calm when they are losing . 'Sometimes you're losing a game at half-time, which doesn't happen often at this club, and you expect to come in and get a rollicking,' Terry said. 'But you come in and the manager is calm, collected, the complete opposite. He's like, \"Listen, we're going to win the game. We're going to get an early goal\" and he talks you through it.' While Mourinho's calmer side has been used to get his team through difficult periods, such as when they were drawing 2-2 with Hull City at half-time on Sunday after taking an early two-goal lead, he can also operate at the other end of the scale. Mourinho sometimes knocks tables over and sends water flying during his half-time speeches . The Blues boss used his calmer side to help them through a difficult moment against Hull City . But Terry feels those little details from Mourinho's behaviour keep his team ready for anything, something that has helped them take the initiative in the title race all season while winning the Capital One Cup earlier this month. 'Other times you'll be winning 2-0 or 3-0 and you'll come in happy at half-time and he'll go ballistic,' Terry told Chelsea Pitch Owners. 'Tables will go over, bottles of water will go flying. You think \"where's that come from?\" 'But you go out for the second half and win the game 5-0 rather than scraping through 3-1, 3-2. 'He knows when players take their foot off the gas. He can sense something before the game. He just gets a feel for everyone and every single game. And I look at that and think no one else has got that that I\u2019ve experienced.'

+{"article": "A self-driving car is gearing up for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip from San Francisco to New York that begins next week. A person will always be behind the wheel of the autonomous car, developed by Delphi Automotive, in order to take control if there is a situation the vehicle cannot handle on its own. The car will begin its journey on March 22 so that it can reach New York in time for the International Auto Show. Scroll down for video . A self-driving car developed by Delphi Automotive is preparing for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip next week that will take it from San Francisco to New York . Delphi, a major Michigan-based auto supplier, is planning for the car to drive eight hours a day for eight days. The autonomous vehicle will mainly stick to the highways, where it will be able to pass slower cars and maintain a safe distance from other automobiles all on its own. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens told WIRED the road trip will be the 'ultimate test' for the vehicle, as it will be exposed to a 'range of driving conditions' as well as various types of weather. It's design is based on a 2014 Audi SQ5. According to Delphi officials, the road trip will be the longest automated drive ever attempted in North America. In 2010 an autonomous van created by Italian company VisLab completed an 8,000-mile journey from Europe to Shanghai for three months. Unlike Google's driverless car (pictured), Dephi's vehicle senors are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. Although it will be the Delphi car's longest journey, it won't be its first. The Delphi vehicle has driven around the company's Silicon Valley office and has already completed a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. But the car really earned its stripes when, during a demonstration at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show in January, it braked by itself as two drunk men stumbled into the street in front of it. Delphi says the vehicle is capable of making complex decisions, like stopping and then proceeding at a four-way stop, merging onto the highway or maneuvering around a bicyclist or a trash can. When the car wants the driver to resume control, it uses a verbal warning and flashes lights on the dashboard. Although most experts say a true driverless vehicle is at least a decade away, Delphi's autonomous automobile is helping the technology look more like a regular car. Unlike other driverless cars developed by Google and Honda, the lidar sensors on Dephi's vehicle are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. The car also has cameras throughout, including one that watches the driver. Because lidar systems can cost around $70,000 apiece, they drive up the price of the autonomous prototypes.

The fugitive paramilitary suspects had all received so-called 'comfort letters' under a peace deal negotiated by Tony Blair. telling them they could return to the UK without fear of being charged. But the letters only came to light last year after the collapse of the terror trail of IRA suspect John Downey, who was accused of murdering four soldiers in the 1982 Hyde Park bombing in London. Tony Blair negotiated a deal with Sinn Fein in which on-the-run terror suspects not wanted by police received 'comfort letters' The case against Mr Downey was thrown out after he produced a letter from the Government telling him he was no longer wanted and was free to travel to the UK. In the fall-out from the trail's collapse, Government ministers launched an inquiry into the letters \u2013 and insisted they were not 'get out of jail free cards' for terrorists. Following the Government's intervention detectives now believe these 'comfort letters' do not protect suspects from prosecution, documents leaked to the Telegraph reveal. The Police Service of Northern Ireland wrote to MPs on the Northern Ireland affairs select committee last week, revealing the major new phase in its inquiries into the 'on the run' cases. In the letter, Will Kerr, the Assistant Chief Constable, said the PSNI did not believe there was any barrier to prosecuting 'on the run' suspects who had been sent 'comfort letters' \u2013 because Coalition Government ministers have recently said the letters had no legal force. 'Whilst prosecutorial challenges may still lie ahead, the obstacles to investigating, arresting and charging suspects appear to have been removed,' Mr Kerr said. The PSNI will 'prioritise' re-examining the cases of 36 'on the runs' whose status was changed from 'wanted' to 'not wanted' during the scheme run by Mr Blair's government under which Mr Downey was mistakenly given a letter of assurance. It is understood that 'comfort letters' were given to suspects in the Harrods car bomb in 1983, which killed six and injured 90, and the Remembrance Day bombing in Enniskillen in 1987. Tony Blair said the peace process with Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams (right) and Martin McGuinness would have collapsed without the letters . Other atrocities under investigation could include the Regent's Park bombing, in which seven military bandsmen were killed, on the same day as the Hyde Park bombing in 1982, and the 1984 Brighton bomb, which targeted the Grand Hotel where Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet members were staying, killing five people and injuring 34. It comes as MPs prepare to publish a year-long inquiry into the 'comfort letters' scheme.

Health chiefs believe they will also help millions of people unwilling to go to a doctor in the first place. Tim Kelsey, the Government\u2019s \u2018digital health tsar\u2019, said he wanted to produce \u2018a sort of NHS-endorsed app store for mental health\u2019, hosted on the NHS Choices website. A new generation of apps has been launched to help people cope with stress, anxiety and depression \u2013 just by using their mobile phones . But he admitted many would question whether screens could ever be as effective as face-to-face therapy, and stressed it was not a question of one or the other. He said: \u2018If people want and need one-to-one counselling, then that\u2019s absolutely what they will get. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 350 million people of all ages suffer from depression worldwide. It is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and is a major contributor to the global burden of disease, it said. GPs will be able to prescribe the apps for mobile phones to patients put off by the prospect of talking to a counsellor . At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. Suicide results in an estimated 1 million deaths every year, the WHO warns. In recent studies, depression has also been found to affect the way that people experience time. Research found that time seems to pass extremely slowly or even stand still when a person suffers from depression. Dr Daniel Oberfeld-Twistel, of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, said: 'Psychiatrists and psychologists in hospitals and private practices repeatedly report that depressed patients feel that time only creeps forward slowly or is passing in slow motion. 'We found strong indicators that in depressed individuals the subjective feeling of the passage of time differs from the ability to assess the actual duration of external events.' His team looked at the results from 16 individual studies in which 433 depressed people and 485 non-depressed people participated. In the studies, the participants were asked to estimate the duration of periods of time. The results obtained for the depressed subjects were exactly the same as those for the healthy ones without any relevant statistical difference. 'We found strong indicators that in depressed individuals the subjective feeling of the passage of time differs from the ability to assess the actual duration of external events,' concluded Dr Oberfeld-Twistel. He added his team identified several aspects of the relation between depression and time perception that have not yet been investigated adequately. Little is actually known about the effects of antidepressants and psychotherapy, or how patients with bipolar disorders compared to non-bipolar depression assess the passing of time. Future studies need to clearly differentiate between the subjective perception of the passage of time, and a person's ability to estimate the precisely defined lengths of time, he added.

Ido Bachelet, who was previously at Harvard\u2019s Wyss Institute in Boston, Massachusetts and Israel\u2019s Bar-Ilan University, intends to treat a patient who has been given six months to live. The patient is set to receive an injection of DNA nanorobots designed to interact with and destroy leukaemia cells without damaging healthy tissue. Speaking in December, he said: \u2018Judging from what we saw [in tests], within a month that person is going to recover. Nanorobots can be programmed to independently recognise target cells and deliver payloads, such as cancer drugs, to these cells. The double helixes stay closed until specific molecules or proteins on the surface of cancer cells act like a 'key' to open the \u2018barrel\u2019 so the payload can be deployed. This diagram shows the nanorobot being 'unlocked' so the drugs (shown in purple) are released . Nanorobots are 'devices' made from DNA that are so small they can be injected into the bloodstream and carry a payload of drugs to specific cells. They are built upon a single strand of DNA which is combined with short synthetic strands of DNA designed by the experts. When mixed together, they self-assemble into a desired shape, which in this case looks a bit like an open-ended barrel. The robots have two halves linked together by flexible DNA hinges, which are held shut by latches that are DNA double helixes . A complementary piece of DNA is attached to a payload of drugs, which enables it to bind to the inside of the biological barrel.

He wants the Metropolitan Police to release all records about him to prove his innocence . Despite the conviction, Mulcahy has maintained he is innocent and wants the Metropolitan Police to release every single detail they have about him on their records. He took the force to court today and told a judge that the documents are vital in proving his innocence. But officers have refused to release the information, saying it could take weeks or even months of costly work to get it together, and it would be 'disproportionate' to make such a huge effort.

There would also have to be meetings with victims' families, senior officers and others mentioned in the papers before they could be released, he said. The force's barrister, Robin Hopkin, said: 'My client has provided all the information it holds that can be provided without it undertaking disproportionate levels of burden in terms of cost and time.'

Bad luck, Jonathan: General Muhammadu Buhari, 72, (right) beat incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan(left) by 2.1million in a historical opposition win . Jonathan's concession came before the final announcement of election results by the Independent National Electoral Commission and as Buhari prepared to address the nation. After the votes from the country's 36 states and small Federal Capital Territory were in this evening, Buhari was found to have won with 15.4 million votes against Jonathan's 13.3 million. The win marks the first time in Nigeria's history that an opposition party has democratically taken control of the country from the ruling party. General Buhari, who has previously made three failed attempts to win the presidency, ruled Nigeria from 1984 until mid-1985, after a seizing power in a military coup. His brief dictatorship saw him rule the nation with an iron fist, jailing people for trivial missteps such as public littering, and punishing civil servants who arrived late to work with gruelling physical exercises. Buhari was eventually was overthrown by his own soldiers after attempting to cover up Nigeria's deepening economic crisis, by silencing the press and jailing journalists. Supporters: Residents celebrate the anticipated victory of Buhari in Kaduna, northern Nigeria . Big win: General Buhari has enjoyed most support in the mainly Muslim north, but also won several key-states in the Christian southern states . Incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan, seen voting in his home town at Ward 13 in Otuoke, Bayelsa state, on Saturday, has reportedly called General Buhari to congratulate him on his win . Buhari's fourth, and successful, bid for presidency was made possible by the formation of a coalition of Nigeria's major opposition parties two years ago, the All Progressives Congress (APC). A united opposition and its choice of Buhari as a single candidate presented the first real opportunity in the history of Nigeria to oust a sitting president. Buhari has also been able to count on considerable voter dissatisfaction with the performance of Goodluck Jonathan, who has been president since 2010, and his failure to take proper action against Boko Haram. In Kano state, where Boko Haram's guerilla war on the civilian population has been most prominent, Buhari delivered a crushing defeat to Jonathan, winning 1.9 million votes for Jonathan's 215,800. This came despite Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau vowing to disrupt the election, which the group sees as 'un-Islamic', prompting unprecedented security measures at polling stations. Buhari has promised to stamp out the insurgency in the north, which has seen the Islamist group murder tens of thousands of civilians, kidnap hundreds of young girls and force more than 1.5 million people from their homes. When Buhari's win was announced, spontaneous celebrations sprang up", "summary": "Muhammadu Buhari has won the Nigerian presidential elections .

The snack is a pastry shell embedded with seeds, yeast and spores, which take three to five days to mature, after which it is ready to be consumed. On her website Ms Rutzerveld explained in a video: 'The Edible Growth Project is about creating a fully edible ecosystem with living organisms in which the base gets printed by a 3D-printer and gradually develops towards a fully-fledged dish.' Multiple layers containing seeds, spores and yeast are printed according to a personalized 3D file. Within five days the plants and fungi mature and the yeast ferments the solid inside into a liquid. The product\u2019s intensifying structure, scent and taste are reflected in its changing appearance. Depending on the preferred intensity, the consumer decides when to harvest and enjoy the delicious, fresh and nutrient-rich edible. According to Ms Rutzerveld, the project is an example of high-tech but fully natural, healthy, and sustainable food made possible by combining aspects of nature, science, technology and design. Edible Growth makes use of natural processes like fermentation and photosynthesis and lowers the use of resources. She explained: 'It shows that high tech food doesn't have to be unhealthy or unnatural, but that it can actually have a lot of advantages. 'The printer is not only used as a kind of shaping machine in which material A gets in and also comes out in another shape but it is used to create innovative food that truly contributes to solving the world's food problems.'

More than 2,000 people have been given free laser treatment \u2013 courtesy of the taxpayer \u2013 in the past four years, described by MPs as a \u2018sheer waste\u2019 of scarce NHS funds. Tattoo removal is not routinely provided by the NHS, but guidance states it can be carried out \u2018to protect a person\u2019s health\u2019 if their doctor believes it is causing them \u2018significant distress or serious mental health problems\u2019. The NHS has spent \u00a3350,000 on removing people's tattoos for them once they have second thoughts (file image) It would also be considered if the dye had caused a \u2018significant allergic reaction or infection\u2019 or if someone had been tattooed against their will. A patient must be referred by their GP. Figures obtained by The Sun under Freedom of Information laws show 2,016 people had tattoos removed since 2010 at a cost of \u00a3330,182. However, the true cost is likely to be much higher, as many trusts did not provide breakdowns of the reasons for laser treatments. The number of tattoo parlours in the UK has soared from about 50 in the 1970s to 1,000 today. Their popularity has been boosted by celebrity fans, including David Beckham and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. Even the Prime Minister\u2019s wife, Samantha Cameron, has a small dolphin tattoo on her ankle. However, four in ten people are said to regret having a tattoo and one in six want them removed. Laser removal uses beams of different coloured light to break down the ink into minuscule fragments, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted via the liver and digestive system. The popularity of tattoos has been boosted by celebrity fans, including David Beckham (pictured), Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and even Samantha Cameron . Private clinics charge around \u00a3150 a session for a small tattoo and up to \u00a3800 for a larger one. Typically eight to ten sessions are needed for large tattoos. One patient to benefit was John, 22, who had a large swastika removed from his chest and hoped to have other Nazi symbols removed from his back and arms. He told the BBC he wanted them removed so he could move abroad and take his top off while working out. He added: \u2018You can\u2019t really do that with something that is going to offend everybody... I want to move on in life.

Ken Grasing, from Overland Park, Kansas, was on vacation in Hawaii when he was attacked by a ten- to 12ft tiger shark . In about five-foot-deep water, Grasing saw a tiger shark, like the one pictured above, swimming around him. It bit into his left arm before Grasing hit it on the side of its head (file photo) The attack happened in about five-foot-deep water and there were other people around the area, according to CNN. He said it 'happened very rapidly' and that the shark bit his left hand before moving past him. At that point he struck it on the side of the head with his right hand. 'The shark then swam around me, stayed in the area, and I stood there just yelling. It was quite the dramatic moment,' he told CNN. 'My two boys were with me in the water and I was very concerned that the shark would attack them.' The shark continued to cruise just outside the surf line at Hapuna an hour after the attack. A Hawaii County Fire Department helicopter tracked the animal and confirmed seeing stripes on the shark's body. Grasing was hospitalized but is expected to make a full recovery.

The case has been brought by Erika Rosenberg, an Argentinian woman, who is suing Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust museum over a suitcase containing thousands of Schindler's documents. The case sheds unusual light on Schindler's personal life after he saved some 1,200 Jews from the Nazis during World War II, and the battles over his estate. Visitors at the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem walk past a portrait of Oskar Schindler, who saved some 1,200 Jews from the Nazis during World War II. Argentinian Erika Rosenberg is suing the museum over a suitcase containing thousands of Schindler's documents . An Ultra-Orthodox Jewish man looks at facsimiles of Oskar Schindler's lists displayed for the public at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, where the original documents are being stored in the museum's archives. The Yad Vashem Holocaust museum insists the documents it received in 1999 never belonged to Emilie Schindler, seen here during a 1993 ceremony for her late husband in Buenos Aires . Schindler's story captured public attention with Spielberg's 1993 Oscar-winning movie . Rosenberg claims ownership of the documents by virtue of being the heir of the German industrialist's late wife, Emilie. The suitcase and the documents have been held since 1999 by Yad Vashem, which insists they never belonged to Emilie Schindler but were passed on by Oskar Schindler to a third party before his death. During World War II, Schindler, an ethnic German from then-Czechoslovakia and a member of the Nazi party, persuaded German officers - through bribes and other means - to let him employ Jews at his factory, saving them from the death camps. His story captured public attention decades later with Steven Spielberg's 1993 Oscar-winning movie Schindler's List, with Liam Neeson playing the lead role. After the war, Schindler emigrated with his wife to Argentina, but in 1958 returned to Germany alone and died there in 1974. She remained his legal heir. The suitcase containing Schindler's personal documents and pictures - as well as a number of copies of the original lists of Jews he saved - eventually turned up in the home of a friend, the late Annemarie Staehr.

But Yad Vashem's legal team says their relationship was platonic and that Schindler had given her the suitcase and its contents as a gift. According to the plaintiff, the suitcase was found at Staehr's house after she died and her children handed it over to a German newspaper and the German national archives in 1997.

So, to settle the argument of which is the greatest Premier League XI since it started in 1992-93, Sportsmail has studied every PFA team of the year to find out which players are most highly-regarded by their peers. The results are fascinating \u2013 and surprising in some cases too. Legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel was selected in only one PL all-star team (1993), as was Dennis Bergkamp (1998) and therefore are well short of being considered for the greatest XI. Peter Schmeichel famously saves a penalty from Dennis Bergkamp in 1999... but neither make the all-time XI .

Delphi, one of the largest suppliers of automotive electronics and safety systems, is using the long journey in the Audi crossover to acquire 2.3 terabytes data from a sophisticated array of cameras, radar and lidar - a laser mapping technology. The Delphi drive kicked off March 22 near San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, with plans to wind up in New York City just before the annual auto show opens there on April 3. During the coast-to-coast journey in the Audi, at least two Delphi engineers will be aboard, including one behind the wheel. The venture informed all of the states it will pass through about its unmanned car, and all of them agreed to let the vehicle travel on their roads. The car comes with 20 sensors including four short-range radars, three vision-based cameras, six lidars, a localization system and a driver assistance program. The Michigan-based firm also wants to test and demonstrate its wireless and active safety systems. Delphi's demonstration underscores growing interest and investments by automakers and suppliers in self-driving cars, some of which could be production-ready by 2020. Jeff Owens, Delphi's chief technology officer, sees the automated driver assistance systems in the Audi as building blocks on the road to fully self-driving cars in the next decade.

Witnessing everyone take their clothes off and leave them in a pile is really quite profound,' he said. 'You realise how complex and socially fabricated we are, connected through clothes'. Ringholt is no stranger to nude education, having guided similar tours at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and MONA in Tasmania. The tours, which will run outside of regular exhibition hours on April 1 and 2, are an hour-long adventure through Turrell's body of work, and include installations purpose-built for Canberra, as well as drawings, prints and photographs.

Alastair Cook and Co face a daunting prospect in trying to reclaim the urn they surrendered with such a whimper last year, especially with pace men Mitchell Starc and last year's danger man Mitchell Johnson in their prospective bowling line-up. Here, Sportsmail's cricket expert Lawrence Booth assesses the intimidating Australian squad man-by-man. Michael Clarke (capt) Age 33 . Caps 108 . Verdict Age has not diminished his class, as he proved in the World Cup final. But his dodgy back could be an issue in a five-Test series. Should out-captain Alastair Cook once more. David Warner .

Verdict If England haven\u2019t got over the trauma of the 2013-14 series, when Johnson took 37 wickets at 13 apiece, the Ashes will stay with Australia. Josh Hazlewood . Age 24 . Caps 3 . Verdict One of a batch of promising Australian fast bowlers, he proved economical beyond his years during the successful World Cup campaign. A flawless action bodes well. James Faulkner . Age 24 . Caps 1 . Verdict Played his only Test to date at The Oval in 2013, where he got up England\u2019s noses by accusing them of boring batting. A left-arm seam-bowling all-rounder, he can give the ball an almighty whack. James Pattinson . Age 24 . Caps 13 . Verdict Injuries have limited him since he burst on to the scene in 2011-12, but the talent is undeniable: tall, aggressive and fast, he should trouble England more than his brother, Darren, when playing for England in a single Test against South Africa in 2008. Peter Siddle . Age 30 . Caps 56 . Verdict The banana-loving seamer is a veteran of two Ashes tours, and could provide relentless accuracy while the quicker bowlers fire around him.

Hayat Rachi used her life's savings to found British lingerie brand Neon Moon to provide stylish underwear for women of all shapes and sizes. The first collection, called Mon Dieu offers simple, sporty-looking sets which are free from cleavage-boosting padding or wiring. Designer Hayat Rachi raised money on a fundraising website to start her own feminist lingerie line (modelled here by two real women) In her images, Rachi was determined to use real women, posing naturally and not catering to the male gaze . The lingerie - which comes in chartreuse, orange and black - is made from sustainable bamboo fabric rather than lace and satin because it moulds to the wearer\u2019s body, and has antibacterial properties. On her fundraising Kickstarter page Rachi wrote: \u2018Not everything is about being sexy or being objectified for the male gaze.' Explaining why she felt driven to design the line, she said: \u2018I found it difficult to find a lingerie brand that shared the same ethos as myself: empowerment, body confidence and the non-objectification of women.\u2019 \u2018So instead of succumbing to the body-shaming, sexualised and objectifying lingerie on the market, I used my frustration to start my own brand, Neon Moon, with the support of The Prince\u2019s Trust.\u2019 After being accepted on to the charity's year-long enterprise program, Rachi received mentorship and professional advice for free to develop her product. In the brand's promotional imagery, the two models certainly seem empowered lounging around the house in Neon Moon underwear. The underwear sets aren't underwired or padded and are made with anti-bacterial, soft bamboo fibre . The women look smiling and healthy and sport natural bodies, rather than catwalk models' ultra-slimline shape.

The federal employees were asked to use work time to take tests, lasting some 15 minutes each, to see whether they have unconscious biases based on sexuality, nationalist, race and whether somebody is disabled. The practice was reported on by the Washington Times, which said the directive to take the Harvard quizzes came from Forest Management Director Bryan Rice. Test: Employees were asked to take assessments such as the above on race, where users alternate between sorting black and white people, then good and bad qualities. The speed with which they do it determined underlying bias, according to the study . He also reportedly asked bosses at other federal agencies to spread links to the Harvard tests, hosted at implicit.harvard.edu. Idea: Bryan Rice, pictured, sent the tests round to staff . The tests are a kind of word association game, which flashes up emotions or qualities such as 'happy', 'agony' and 'laughter', which users must sort into 'good' and 'bad' categories. These are then mixed with elements of the category being tested - for example the race test flashes up pictures of black and white faces. Participants complete several rounds of testing, first being instructed to associate all the 'good' words with one race, then the other. The more quickly and accurately they make each association - good or bad - the stronger their underlying bias is said to be. Rice asked his workers to take two tests each, and said they would be discussed in a later meeting. An unnamed congressional source suggested to the Washington Times that the tests are a waste of time, and the agency should focus on stopping forest fires. Defending himself, Rice said: 'The unconscious bias material can help us explore diversity and inclusion in the workplace. 'It was included in a discussion of diversity as part of a continuous series of collaborative discussions on a variety of topics we have on my staff that cover key Forest Service policies and values as a means of fostering continued awareness.'

Jihadica claims that this means 30-year-old Bahraini scholar and council leader Turki al-Bin'ali is the likely author. Abu 'Umar al-Masri's tweets show that the list of new rules have been issued in a kind of stapled book and are structured in a question and answer format.

Frankly, the new Ibrox boss faces the biggest uphill task since Sir Edmund Hillary conquered Everest if he is to succeed in getting this bunch of players back to the summit league of Scottish football. On a night when Alloa left their shock new signing \u2014 ex-Sunderland and Newcastle striker Michael Chopra \u2014 on the bench until the dying embers of the match, a glancing header by former Chelsea kid Ben Gordon opened the scoring and had Rangers on the back foot. Rangers' Lee Wallace and Alloa's Jonathan Tiffoney tussle for the ball during the match at Ibrox . Rangers forward Dean Shiels challenges Alloa's Kevin Crawley during the Scottish Championship game . Alloa's new signing, former Sunderland and Newcastle striker Michael Chopra, made his debut at Irbox . Two goals from Nicky Clark in five minutes looked like somehow securing a rare victory for a stodgy and lethargic Rangers but Liam Buchanan\u2019s late leveller ensured deserved parity for the team from the Wee County. It was merely the latest sting from the Wasps, who have now drawn twice at Ibrox in the league this season, as well as holding Rangers at home in the Championship and knocking them out of the Petrofac Training Cup in Clackmannanshire. For Ibrox fans, the elation of Dave King\u2019s boardroom coup has very much been replaced by the utter deflation that comes as standard when watching this side. Indeed, when McCall\u2019s team travels to Easter Road on Sunday hoping to keep their play-off hopes alive, the second-most expensively assembled squad in the country can be said to pitch up in Leith in the grip of relegation-esque form. Over the course of the last nine games \u2014 a quarter of a league season \u2014 third-placed Rangers have dropped 19 points from an available 27. In context, they have picked up eight points, while second-bottom Alloa and rock-bottom Livingston \u2014 who drew at Ibrox on Saturday \u2014 both have amassed six over the same time period. Rangers' Nicky Law gives chase to Alloa's Mark Docherty during the Scottish Championship match at Ibrox . And, worryingly for McCall, not even five changes to his starting line-up could inject any badly-needed urgency into proceedings. There was a first-team recall for goalkeeper Cammy Bell, who was pulling on a Rangers jersey for the first time in seven months after recovering from a shoulder injury. That meant Lee Robinson was on the bench, with veteran keeper Steve Simonson dropping out of the squad altogether. Injuries meant Rangers were without defender Sebastian Faure and attacking midfielder Haris Vuckic, who has been one of the Ibrox club\u2019s best players since arriving on loan from Newcastle United. Striker Kenny Miller dropped to the bench, while Kyle Hutton found himself left out of the squad completely.

A study carried out by the CIES Football Observatory shows Lille have benefited hugely from the Premier League\u2019s wealth over the last three years - with the country producing players worth more than any other on the continent. Only Southampton have been paid higher transfer fees for players brought through their youth system than the Ligue 1 side in that time throughout the whole of Europe. Southampton have taken more money for their youth stars than any other side in Europe since 2012 . Eden Hazard's move from Lille to Chelsea helped the French side rake in profits from their academy .

Mathieu Debuchy left Lille for Newcastle United before later sealing a switch to Arsenal . Calum Chambers, Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw made 90.2million euros (\u00a364.4m) for Saints as they moved to Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United respectively at the end of last season. But interestingly it is Lille \u2013 midtable in France\u2019s top division - who were the most profitable of the rest. And that\u2019s thanks in no small part to the Premier League.

The limelight has switched to Gomis since Bony left for Manchester City with \u00a328million going the other way. At times he has struggled to escape the shadow cast by his predecessor. Grave concerns were raised when he lay motionless against Tottenham three weeks ago, before it emerged he has a vasovagal condition which causes low blood pressure and fainting episodes. On Saturday, he missed three good chances. But he kept going and rounded off a lovely goal with a predatory finish. Wayne Routledge danced into space in the middle of the pitch and released Jefferson Montero with a cultured pass.

Families will be better off this year than they were when the Coalition came to power, independent experts said yesterday. In a boost to George Osborne, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said it was \u2018very likely\u2019 that household incomes would be higher this year than in 2010. The Chancellor\u2019s claim that families would be \u00a3900 better off in 2015 was one of the key Tory messages in Wednesday\u2019s Budget. The IFS also raised serious questions about Ed Miliband\u2019s much-repeated counter-claim that families are \u00a31,600 worse off than they were in 2010. In its annual post-Budget briefing yesterday, it suggested the Labour leader\u2019s figure was out of date and failed to take account of rising pensioner incomes, surging employment or changes to the tax and benefit system. The think-tank\u2019s verdict potentially deals a fatal blow to Mr Miliband\u2019s claims of a cost of living \u2018crisis\u2019. In a further blow, the IFS said inequality in Britain had fallen under the Coalition. It also said Labour\u2019s plans were so lax that Mr Miliband might borrow up to \u00a325billion a year more than the Tories \u2013 piling up Britain\u2019s \u00a31.5trillion national debt indefinitely. But it did warn that the impact of coalition cuts had fallen most heavily on the poor, as a result of reductions in benefits. Mr Osborne seized on the IFS verdict last night as evidence that the Government\u2019s plans are starting to deliver higher living standards for families despite the years of austerity needed to deal with the huge budget deficit left by Labour. The Chancellor said: \u2018This is a very significant moment for our economic debate: on the day after the Budget, the independent IFS have confirmed the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast that living standards are set to be higher in 2015 than in 2010. \u2018This is more evidence that our plan is delivering for Britain\u2019s families, and it demolishes Ed Miliband\u2019s central claim in this election. I\u2019m the first to say that the job of repairing our economy isn\u2019t done, because the British people are still paying a huge price for Labour\u2019s great recession, but Britain is on the right track and we must not turn back.\u2019 The debate over living standards provoked a furious row between Labour and the Conservatives during Wednesday\u2019s Budget. The IFS said Labour\u2019s claim was based on figures from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, covering the period 2010-2014. Economist Robert Joyce said it was true that these figures show average earnings fell during this period. But he said more recent data showed earnings are now \u2018growing\u2019. And he warned the Labour statistics give only a partial view of total household income. The figures do not include pensions, which have received a substantial boost. Because they are gross figures they also do not include the impact of tax changes. And they do not reflect that fact that employment is up by almost two million \u2013 meaning many people who previously had no income are now earning.

New research has revealed that the enormous currents that circulate warm and cold water around the Atlantic ocean has slowed by 15-20 per cent over the past century. Scientists say that the increasing flow of fresh water from melting Greenland ice sheets may be driving the slowdown. The graphic above shows the sea in the North Atlantic is cooler than the surrounding ocean due to the influx of fresh water from the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which has slowed the gulf stream, say scientists . Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, an oceans physicist at the Potsdam Insittute for Climate Impact Research, said: 'It is conspicuous that one specific area in the North Atlantic has been cooling in the past hundred years while the rest of the world heats up. 'Now we have detected strong evidence that the global conveyor has indeed been weakening in the past hundred years, particularly since 1970. Climate change could make the food we eat taste worse, according to recent research. A major report on the impact of global warming on food has predicted that the quality of many meats and vegetables is due to decline at temperatures increase. The researchers predict that as heatwaves become more common, meat like chicken and beef will become stringier and tougher. Carrots are likely to lose their flavour and develop a less pleasant texture. Beetroots and onions will become smaller while milk will contain less protein needed to make cheese. A separate study by marine biologists has also shown that shellfish will take on a sour flavour as our oceans acidify. 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. Shrimp raised in water with a lower pH were 2.6 times more likely to be rated as the worst tasting, while those reared in the less acidic water were 3.4 times more likely to be judged the tastiest. The findings suggest that as global temperatures rise due to climate change, areas that are warmed by the Gulf Stream could see temperatures fall, particularly in the winter. The Gulf Stream is a powerful current that forms part of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. This is a system of currents that are driven by the rising and sinking of water in different regions of the Atlantic. Warm water from the equator is driven north towards the Artic where it cools, increases in salinity and sinks to the ocean depths. This drives deep sea currents that pump water back to the equator, where it is warmed, rising to the surface and feeding the currents towards the pole.

I want to find her alive,' said Parker's father, Brad. On the episode of courtroom series 'The People's Court,' recorded the summer before her disappearance, Parker and Smith squared off over a $5,000 engagement ring. The show revealed a 'violent' history of her relationship with Smith, who had been dishonorably discharged from the Marines in 2003 following a reported court martial and military convictions for drug possession and domestic battery.

He'd been chipping away at it before, with that fantastic scissors kick goal against Levante, with his slew of assists for Lionel Messi and Neymar. But to score the winner in a Clasico and with as much class as he did here, has written him into the history books. Having made his Barcelona debut in a disappointing defeat by Madrid, sinking his teeth into Los Blancos here was the perfect revenge for the Uruguayan.

Carissa Yip from Andover, Massachusetts earned the title last month and also became the youngest to ever to defeat a grandmaster, Alexander Ivanov, during the New England Open in 2014. The sixth-grade student at Doherty Middle School picked up her first piece of chess five years ago, and since has been raking in accolades including becoming the youngest female expert in 2013. And in February, she was ranked the 50th best female chess player in the country by the U.S. Chess Federation (USCF), 36th among U.S. born players, according to the Valley Dispatch. 'I'm really happy about breaking the record,' said Carissa. Previously, Annie Wang held the title as the youngest female master, who broke Irina Krush's decade-long record in 2014, but Carissa has secured the top spot by four months, according to Andover Patch. The young girl first learned chess after her father, Percy, an IT architect taught her until she began beating him within a year. And it was only two years ago when Carissa had set a goal of reaching a rating of 2,100 - an expert is anyone over 2,000 and a master is anyone over 2,200. However, now she is aiming to reach 2,300 later this year. In the tournament that gave her the title as master during the February 21 Legends of Chess Tournament in Cambridge where she (Carissa pictured right) played against chess master, Chris Williams (left). While she was debating whether to even compete against Williams, in the end she listened to the advice from her father who said 'listen to your heart' Carissa said she loves chess because it is a challenging game, according to the Boston Globe. 'I prefer to play with someone who's actually good,' she said. But sometimes when she defeats opponents older than her, they do not always take the loss in stride. Carissa said during one of her first tournaments, she beat a competitor at seven years old, who threw a tamper and said he did not like playing against kids. As she strives towards her ultimate goal of becoming a world champion chess player, last month, she finished with a national rating of 2,203 which placed her with the best 1.5 per cent of all players in the USCF. Magnus Carlsen, 24, of Norway has a rating of 2,863 and is the highest-ranked chess player in the world, according to the World Chess Federation. In order to secure the title as grandmaster, she would have to have a rating of 2,500 on the international scale as well as having top results, which with her history is certainly attainable.

Divorcee Linda Walker Zevallos starting dating the real estate heir, who she described as a 'good listener,' after meeting him on flight between New York City and Dallas. Durst made no mention of the unsolved disappearance of his wife and instead told the mother-of-one he was a labor lawyer with two daughters who both attended Harvard University, she told NBC News. During their six month relationship in 2000 Ms Zevallos visited his Dallas apartment that had bizarre concrete flooring. She also introduced Durst to her 13-year-old son. '(Durst) was nice when I was with him, pretty much,' she told the news channel. 'But if he didn't get his way, then he was a little mean. But then he'd turn around and apologize later.'

Durst, 71, was sensationally acquitted of the 2001 murder of neighbor Morris Black and has long been suspected of killing his first wife, Kathie, and then murdering long-time friend Susan Berman. He was shockingly caught on tape saying 'I killed them all,' at the end of the HBO documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Durst, who is worth an estimated $100 million, was arrested in New Orleans earlier this month, shortly before the finale of the series aired.

The island started forming in January after a volcano exploded underwater and then expanded creating a mile long, cone-shaped formation. Scroll down for video . Stunning images have emerged of a new island that has formed off the coast of Tonga - although scientists say it could soon disappear . Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai sits beneath the ocean 39 miles (62km) northwest of Tonga's capital Nuku'alofa. The volcano gets its name from the two islands it is situated between - Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha'apai. It is said to be part of the volcanic Pacific Ring of Fire and is believed to one of a 36 undersea volcanoes in that region. A short-lived eruption in March 2009, lasted for almost a week. At the time, geologists said the eruption originated from two volcanic vents - one was located on Hunga Ha'apai, while the other was around 330ft (100m) offshore. The two vents spewed so much debris, however, they created a new land mass. Source: Atlas Obscura . Hotel owner GP Orbassano, along with a friend and his son, arrived at one of the island's three black beaches on Saturday. 'It was a perfect day, with fantastic views \u2013 bright blue sky and the sea was the same colour as the sky,' GP Orbassano, one of the locals, told Tonga's Matangi Online. The island is made mainly of scoria, which is a dark coloured volcanic rock that can sometimes contain crystals. The holes in the material form when gases that were dissolved in the magma come out of solution as it erupts . Scientists believe the dimensions of the new island are about 1.1 miles (1.8 km) by 0.9 miles (1.5km), and that it rises about 328ft (100 metres) above the sea. Orbassano admitted that the climb was dangerous as a result of the excessive heat on the dark landscape, according to Matangi Online. However, he said the natural beauty of the location could make it into a popular tourist attraction before the island disappears in a few months. The island was first spotted in an image taken by the Pleiades satellite on 19 January 2015. The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai underwater volcano, that created the formation, is located between two land masses in the Tonga archipelago - Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha'apai.

'The island is double the size of Fafa. There is a lot of rock, it's not just ash. It looks like the moon,' said Orbassano.

This is causing an imbalance between the supply of metals and metalloids and their demand from consumers - a concept referred to as 'criticality.' Researchers have now assessed the criticality of all 62 metallic-based elements on the Periodic Table to reveal which are most at risk and what that means for our gadgets in the long-term. Researchers from Yale University assessed the 'criticality' of 62 metals on the Periodic Table. They discovered at at least 33 of these (shown) are used for circuit boards. Criticality looks at which materials will become harder to find, which will have the highest environmental costs and which are irreplaceable . Metal criticality is analysed in three ways - supply risk, vulnerability to supply restriction (VSR) and environmental implications. Put simply, supply risk is the probability that a necessary raw material will run out. VSR is an index used to work out how likely a particular element will become restricted based on how much its used and how abundant it is. This index considers restrictions put upon supply from companies or countries, for example.

Using these three categories, researchers from Yale University led by Professor Thomas Graedel were able to see which metals and metalloids are most at risk within each group. Many of the metals traditionally used in manufacturing, including zinc, copper, and aluminum, are not at risk, explained Professor Graedel. However, the newer or less-common metals used in smartphones, infrared optics, and medical imaging, are vulnerable. The team's results show that the limitations for many important metals used in smartphones and other gadgets are largely those related to supply risk.

An extremely rare \u00a31 coin from the start of English Civil War is expected to fetch \u00a350,000 at auction . The coin was made as the a new mint was set up in the city and was created to launch an official currency for parts of the country under the King's command. The legend on the back of the coin translates as 'Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered', symbolising the King's belief in the 'absolute monarch'. The words were a declaration of the King's power, but this belief in an almighty monarchy caused some of the tensions which led to the Civil War between the Royalist Cavaliers and the Parliamentarian Roundheads. The large coin, which is more two inches across and remains in good condition, was passed down through one family for generations but the current owner did not realise its value. Timothy Medhurst, a coin specialist and auctioneer at Duke's Auctioneers in Dorchester, Dorset, where the coin will be sold, said it was the type of item he dreams of finding.

Nicole McDonough, 32, of Mount Olive, was arrested December 30 on suspicion of having sex with an 18-year-old student while employed as a teacher at Mendham High School. However a subsequent investigation now sees her facing three charges of official misconduct, with prosecutors saying McDonough engaged in improper 'communication' and 'fraternization' with two other male students, who were also 18. Prosecutors did not elaborate on the kind of fraternizing the mother-of-two allegedly took part in. Indicted: High school English teacher Nicole McDonough - seen here at her first court appearance in January - was indicted Wednesday on charges of engaging in improper relationships with three her male students, all 18, including having an alleged sexual relationship with one of them . According to The Daily Record, the alleged sexual relationship occurred in April, May, and June of 2013. 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. Timothy Smith, McDonough's attorney, said Friday he would seek to have the indictment dismissed and called it a 'rogue prosecution' that incorrectly applies official misconduct laws. Official misconduct is punishable upon conviction by up to 10 years in prison with a minimum of five years to be served before parole consideration. Scene: McDonough, a married mother of two, worked as an English teacher at West Morris Mendham High School in Morristown, New Jersey .

A documentary investigating the religion and its secret California-based headquarters features a number of allegations about how members are threatened and tortured in prison-style camps and cut off from their family if they decide to leave Scientology.

A documentary claims to have revealed secrets about the church of Scientology, including that members hold a blackmail file on John Travolta and others have been subjected to hard labour in 'prison camps' The allegations featured in 'Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief', a documentary shown on HBO in America on Sunday evening. The claims have been disputed by the Church of Scientology who have branded those who featured in the show - many former senior members - as 'admitted' liars and perjurers and 'professional anti-Scientologists.' Directed by Alex Gibney, Going Clear aimed to expose the secrets behind the mysterious faith followed by thousands of people including film stars John Travolta and Tom Cruise. It included interviews with former senior members and officials who made explosive claims about punishments endured by members and how followers have been manipulated. These included descriptions of a 'prison camp', revealed by former member Sylvia 'Spanky' Taylor. People put into this camp are forced to do around 30 hours of hard labour, broken up by three hour rest breaks. Spanky was once the point of contact between the Church and Travolta and said she was sent to this 'prison camp', known as the Rehabilitation Project Force which, she claims, is where members are 'reindoctrinated.' The documentary also claimed Scientology chiefs hold a 'black PR package' on Travolta, with all the disclosures he made during auditing sessions. During these sessions a trained auditor asked pointed questions such as 'What are you willing for me to talk to others about?' Travolta is said to have requested that his sessions were not filmed, but secret cameras were allegedly installed anyway.

A 'wicked' internet troll who invented sob stories about a dead daughter to steal thousands of pounds in donations has been jailed for three years. Katie Ringer set up a fake account on an online fundraising page to ask kind-hearted members of the public to put money towards the fictional child's funeral costs. The 19-year-old, who carried out the fraud from her parents' home in Shoeburyness, Essex, also abused a number of victims over the internet, sending them 'vile' photos of dead relatives. Ringer, who has no children, stole photos of other people's children from Facebook to support her 'web of lies', the court heard. She was jailed for three years at Basildon Crown Court today. Judge Samantha Leigh said: 'You preyed on the generosity of the British public. 'We all know how generous the public can be and how vast amounts of money can be raised - you only have to look at Children In Need and last Friday's Comic Relief for examples.

'The total value of the fraud was \u00a33,000 including a number of unknown victims who donated.' Ringer also sent victims vile abuse over the internet and Blackberry mobile messaging. One victim was sent a picture of her own grandmother's gravestone with a caption: 'Burn in hell b***h. I hope you're raped by devils.' Another received an image of her dead daughter with the caption: 'daddy raped me'. Ringer left another victim terrified for their safety after threatening to firebomb their home.

These were all evil offences committed from her own bedroom. 'Cowardly offences that she does accept caused much distress to individuals and their families.' The court heard how unemployed Ringer used an iPhone, iPad and laptop to create fake fundraising claims and spew vile abuse between August 2012 and January 2014. Ringer admitted 14 charges of fraudulently collecting money, eight charges of harassment and one of threatening to blow up a victim's house at a previous hearing.

The flights last November don't include more than a dozen other trips on donors' planes that Schock has paid for out of his House office expenses or campaign funds since joining Congress in 2009. Schock, a 33-year-old Republican representing Peoria, had already been facing scrutiny for using congressional funds to redecorate his Capitol Hill office in the style of the TV show 'Downton Abbey.' He repaid those charges last month out of his own pocket; his office had said it's reviewing other expenses. Rep. Aaron Schockis accused of billing taxpayers for more than $10,000 on private flights last fall that included a trip to a Chicago Bears football game . Schock and his entourage flew in an Eclipse 500 aircraft like this one . The Chicago Sun-Times reported Sunday night that Schock flew from Peoria, Illinois to Chicago to attend a Bears game against the Minnesota Vikings on November 16, 2014 . Overall, according to the paper, he used $20,855 in taxpayer money for the Chicago trip and another to New York in September, where his political action committee spent another $3,000 for tickets to the Global Citizen Festival concert. This week Schock reportedly hired a pair of lawyers to audit his political and legislative operations. Spokesmen for Schock declined to comment to the Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune, and did not respond to a request from Daily Mail Online. In a statement last week they said a legal team was already poring over 'compliance procedures in his official office, campaign and leadership PAC to determine whether they can be improved.' The football game was part of a longer trip on a chartered six-seat business jet that took off from a civil aviation airport in Manassas, Virginia en route to Peoria on a Friday. The Bears defeated the Vikings but the game may ultimately defeat a congressman . DOWNTON OFFICE: Schock spent $40,000 in taxpayer funds redecorating his Capitol Hill office, but had to pay the money back . The Sunday trip was a sideline before the aircraft returned to Washington, D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport a day later. All the seats were filled, according to pilot Keith Siilats, who told the Sun-Times that Schock's district director Dayne LaHood and three others were aboard. He also said he accompanied the congressman and his group to the football game. He was paid $10,802 for 'commercial transportation' in November, the last month for which numbers are available. 'That whole weekend was paid by the government,' he said. Schock 'called me on Saturday and said \"what do you think about\u2019 a Chicago trip?\"' Siilats recalled for the paper.

Hours later, doctors reported he suffered another three seizures. He also complained of a bad headache and had high blood pressure. He appeared to be suffering from posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a condition characterized by headache, confusion, seizures and visual loss. A 10-year-old boy suffered four seizures which doctors found was due to his habit of eating 20 liquorice sweets a day for four months . But doctors were baffled as CT and MRI scans ruled out all the major condition that lead to PRES. During a medical examination a week later doctors noticed that the boy\u2019s teeth were black. It transpired that he had been eating at least 20 liquorice sweets each day for the past four months. This mean he was consuming of 2.88 mg/kg of glycyrrhizin or glycyrrhizic acid, one of the active ingredients of liquorice. That volume is well above the World Health OrganiSation\u2019s recommended maximum of 2 mg/kg. This excessive consumption had resulted in his development of high blood pressure, and in turn PRES. After the boy stopped eating the sweets, his treatment was gradually reduced and his blood pressure returned to normal. In light of the case, doctors are now calling for a recommended daily amount to be printed clearly on sweets packets as a safety measures. Last year, MailOnline reported on the story of Keith Ballantine, 68, who was struck down with a rare nerve condition which left him unable to move after eating too many liquorice allsorts . The risk of PRES risk is particularly high for children with a low body weight, Dr Davide Tassinari and colleagues from the University of Bologna, Italy, said. The case was published in Pediatric Neurology. In the past, the US' Food and Drug Administration has warned black liquorice can lead to irregular heartbeats, and other health problems when consumed by adults in large quantities. The glycyrrhizin causes the kidneys to excrete potassium, and low levels of the compound can make the heart beat dangerously fast or irregularly. Glycyrrhizin also leads to salt and water retention which can be a problem for people with heart failure or high blood pressure, it said. Other studies have shown glycyrrhizinc can increase blood pressure or cause muscle weakness and chronic fatigue. Research has also suggested it can lower testosterone levels in men, affecting their mood and libido. The news comes after MailOnline reported on the story of a grandfather who developed a rare nerve condition which left him unable to move, after eating too many liquorice allsorts. Keith Ballantine, 68, was struck down with Guillain-Barre Syndrome after consuming too many of the sweets. They gave him an upset stomach and doctors believe the antibodies he produced to fight the bug caused his body to react badly - and Mr Ballantine then developed the deadly nerve disease.

Movements of the smooth muscle of the iris make the eye\u2019s openings larger or smaller, which in turn adjusts the amount of light that enters the retina. For its prototype, Fujitsu has built a miniature scanner so it fits on the front of a smartphone. It recognises the pattern by shining an infrared LED light on the sensor into the eyes and taking a picture of the pattern with the infrared camera. This pattern is registered and linked to the user. Each time they look at their phone, the sensor scans their eye, matches it with the stored image and unlocks the device. \u2018The system can reliably authenticate the detailed patterns of the iris and that can be used in most everyday situations,\u2019 a spokesman for Fujitsu told MaiOnline . \u2018This can be used at a normal smartphone viewing distance, rather than within the 10cm range most existing iris recognition systems require. \u2018And in safety testing, the infrared LED light was verified to be safe for the eyes.\u2019 The pattern on a person's iris doesn\u2019t change significantly after the age of two, and it is difficult to injure its surface and difficult to forge.

She also failed to preserve her correspondence on the State Department's servers - something that is required of officials under the US Federal Records Act - until two months ago.

Linda Lira, 31, is facing four years in jail after she was arrested at Lemon Grove Academy in San Diego yesterday for locking a group of nine to 11-year-olds into a classroom. Police initially thought Lira, who is from San Diego, had taken hallucinogenic drugs, but tests came back negative and her lawyers now say she was trying to protect the children from demons. Linda Lira, 31, was arrested yesterday after locking a group of nine to 11-year-olds into a classroom, then fighting with school staff as they tried to free the youngsters, while 'undressing and dressing repeatedly' Police initially thought Lira, who is facing four years behind bars, had taken drugs, but test came back negative and her lawyers now say she locked the room because she thought demons were outside . The strange incident began in a classroom at Lemon Grove yesterday at around 4pm when Lira began 'acting bizarre' before locking herself and a group of students inside a room. One child was slapped an two others pushed to the floor when they tried to escape, suffering minor injuries, as Lira began barricading the door. The quick-thinking youngsters used Lira's unguarded campus radio to call for help, and when other staff arrived and broke into the room, Lira began fighting with them. The children managed to slip out of the room, leaving Lira behind, at which point she began 'undressing and dressing repeatedly', according to one Sheriff's Deputy. She was initially arrested for 14 counts each of child endangerment and false imprisonment, but this was later revised to three charges of false imprisonment and one of resisting arrest. The incident happened yesterday at Lemon Grove Academy (pictured).

Songwriter Ashley Wilson claims she and her late partner 'Uncle' Mark Reynolds wrote Nelson's Number One hit 'Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die' a quarter of a century ago. And now they want Nelson to give up all his profits from the song, which topped the charts for the 81-year-old country outlaw in 2012, when he sang it along with other famous marijuana users Snoop Dogg, Kris Kristofferson and country star Jamey Johnson. Wilson, 45, has filed a federal lawsuit in her native Georgia, claiming copyright infringement against Nelson, four men listed as the hit's songwriters and a slew of record companies. Lighting up: A well known pothead, Wiilie first recorded Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die in 2012. It topped the charts for the 81-year-old country outlaw in 2012, when he sang it along with other famous marijuana users Snoop Dogg, Kris Kristofferson and country star Jamey Johnson . Songwriter Ashley Wilson claims she and her late partner 'Uncle' Mark Reynolds wrote Nelson's Number One hit a quarter of a century ago. The suit points to versions of the song posted on YouTube. In one, Reynolds, who died in 2004 aged 44, says he wrote the song for his mother. 'She called and asked me one day, your father and I are filling out some paperwork and she said there's a clause in there, \"if you die before we do.\" So I went and thought about this thing and I dealt with it the only way I could and that was in a song.\" Wilson, who lives in Woodstock, Georgia, claims she and Reynolds, who sang as a duet called Ashley and Mark, recorded the song on an album released on cassette in 1990. She did not return calls from Daily Mail Online. In the suit, Wilson says Reynolds 'likely' knew John Colgin, one of the four songwriters named in the suit, and listed as having written Nelson's version. She says Colgin lived at the time in Roswell, Georgia, just 14 miles from Reynolds' home in Woodstock. Though the lyrics of the two versions are different, Wilson said they 'contain the same title and dominant line in the chorus\u2026with substantially similar melody, rhythm and cadence, as well as substantially similar lyrical themes.' Ashley Wilson and the estate of Mark Reynolds are suing Willie for copyright infringement . Willie poses after the unveiling of his statue at ACL Live in Austin, Texas.

As per their contract, Hockenheim is scheduled to host the event in 2016, but at this early stage F1 supremo Ecclestone is uncertain whether it will go ahead. Asked whether he could confirm it would take place, Ecclestone, speaking to a select media group in the paddock at the Malaysian Grand Prix, replied: 'No.' Bernie Ecclestone (left) says German Grand Prix may miss out on the Formula One calendar next year . Informed that Hockenheim has a contract for 2016 and 2018, Ecclestone added: 'It doesn't make a difference. A lot of people have a contract.' Ecclestone intimated if Germany was unable to afford the race this year, then it will struggle to pay the hosting fee next season. The Nurburgring was scheduled to host the race in July, but due to numerous financial difficulties behind the scenes was ultimately forced to withdraw. Ecclestone then turned to Hockenheim to step in and fill the void, but negotiations broke down and time ran out as circuit officials believed they did not have ample time to promote and sell tickets. Hockenheim and Nurburgring have hosted the German Grand Prix for the past seven years . 'The trouble in Germany was the Nurburgring spent an awful lot of money which they borrowed,' added Ecclestone. 'They didn't need to spend what they spent, and therefore didn't need to borrow the amount they borrowed. 'They forgot to pay it back, and that caused a few ripples. It sent a bad message.' Ecclestone didn't confirm if Hockenheim would host next year's race despite having a contract in place . Historic European races are now fast falling away with France, San Marino and now Germany losing their place on the calendar in recent times. Italy is another that will struggle to pay its way beyond the expiry of its current contract in 2016 unless national government steps in to assist, or Ecclestone reduces his fees. Asked whether he was prepared to see F1's European heartland wither away, Ecclestone said: 'There are lots of things we all would like, but we don't have them because we can't afford them.' Suggested to Ecclestone 'if Monza goes, it goes', he said: 'Whatever goes, goes.' The Formula One supremo said Hockenheim having a contract in place 'doesn't make a difference' Ecclestone did concede, however, 'it would be terrible' if Europe did lose all its races, particularly as the series would no longer become a world championship. Many people believe Ecclestone's hosting fees are too steep, which in turn prompts promoters to charge extortionate ticket prices, leading to reduced numbers through the turnstiles. Hockenheim, for instance, saw its audience plummet from more than 100,000 in 2012 to just 60,000 in 2014, despite Sebastian Vettel being a four-time world champion at that stage and Mercedes dominating last year. 'Probably right,' said Ecclestone, regarding comments about over-charging. 'But the teams get 62 per cent of whatever profit", "summary": "The German Grand Prix was axed from this year's Formula One calendar .

+{"article": "CDC officials have arrived at a Louisiana research center to try to determine how at least seven monkeys became exposed to a deadly bacteria used in bioweapons. Three of the monkeys had to be euthanized after showing signs of the bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, which was being studied in a secure lab in another part of the 500-acre Tulane National Primate Research Center, USA Today reported. Despite thorough investigations by authorities, the cause of the contamination is still unknown. Questions also remain over how far the bacteria, which is primarily found in southeast Asia and northeast Australia, has spread around the complex and surrounding areas. Concerns: Monkeys at the Tulane National Primate Research Center in Louisiana were exposed to a potentially deadly bacteria last fall - but authorities still do not know how or why it happened . Reach: Worryingly, the center is close to a river (top left), homes and a school. Although there are no signs that surrounding areas have been exposed to the bacteria, further tests are required . Animals pass it in their urine and feces - potentially contaminating the ground and water around them - and others can become infected through direct contact with the contaminated areas. The bacteria may not cause an illness until days or years after the exposure, but the illness can be fatal in humans and animals. The monkeys, rhesus macaques, had access to massive outdoor primate breeding cages, where around 4,000 macaques are kept. It is not yet known if the bacteria have colonized in the cages. Worryingly, the research center is just half a mile from a school and surrounded by homes. And only yards behind the facility, there is a river that leads to a lake surrounded by wildlife refuges. The contaminated primates were all at the center's veterinary hospital at the same time last fall, leading to speculation that they could have been exposed there. Infected: At least seven rhesus macaques (file picture) have shown signs of exposure and three have died . Potentially deadly: Burkholderia pseudomallei . The bacteria, Burkholderia pseudomallei, can cause a potentially serious disease in people and animals called melioidosis. Melioidosis commonly involves the lungs and has a range of symptoms including fever, headache, appetite loss, muscle and joint pain. The illness may not develop for days to years. It is often mistaken as pneumonia or tuberculosis, and if left untreated, it is fatal. Several countries have looked into using the bacteria as a bioweapon because strains can be resistant to multiple antibiotics. The overall mortality rate is 40 per cent but in Thailand, where the bacteria is endemic, it is up to 50 per cent. The bacteria, which is primarily found in southeast Asia and northeast Australia, has never been found in nature in the U.S. Last week, tests by the CDC determined two further monkeys showed signs of contracting the bacteria, bring the number of infected monkeys to seven. The CDC will now be looking at safety and health practices at the veterinary hospital, the agency said.

Called the Hyper Velocity Asteroid Impact Vehicle (HAIV), their system would be able to launch and reach an Earth-bound asteroid within 100 days or so, destroying it before it reached our planet. But the unmanned spacecraft relies on one crucial aspect - tracking and finding an asteroid, before it is too late to stop it impacting Earth. Scroll down for video . Boom! A Danish NGO is planning to develop an Earth-saving spacecraft called the Hyper Velocity Asteroid Impact Vehicle (HAIV). In the diagram above, NED stands for nuclear explosive device. The front of the spacecraft would create a small crater, which the nuclear device would then travel in to and explode . The concept was created by the Emergency Asteroid Defence Project (EADP), based in Denmark. They are seeking to find a way to protect Earth from destruction when all other methods have failed. Ranging from \u00a3340 million to $1 billion ($500 million to $1.5 billion), the cost of the mission would depend on how large the incoming asteroid that needed to be destroyed was. Called the Hypervelocity Asteroid Intercept Vehicle, or HAIV, the craft would rendezvous with an asteroid in deep space. It consists of a fore body (a leader spacecraft), which would hit the comet and create blast crater. A few seconds later, an aft body (a follower spacecraft) carrying nuclear explosives would hit inside the crater - which increases its effectiveness by up to 20 times. Once an asteroid had been located, the HAIV would be launched on one of several possible rockets, including a Delta IV or Atlas V. The HAIV would then align itself such that it would impact the asteroid, by matching its orbit. The concept works using a \u2018leader\u2019 and a \u2018follower\u2019 spacecraft. After the launch, the former would separate and impact the asteroid, forming a crater in its surface. The follower, carrying a nuclear warhead, would then enter the crater and explode, blowing the asteroid to pieces. These pieces would either be deflected from Earth, or would be too small to cause any considerable damage. This diagram shows a simulation of the area affected if something the size of Halley\u2019s Comet, with a diameter of approximately 6.2 miles (10km), hit the US - a possible global extinction event .

Somerset Daubenton\u2019s bats, in particular, chase each other, perform tandem turns and can even slow down without ever hitting each other. And now researchers have found this is down to the way they take part in 'formation flying'. Researchers from Bristol University measured biosonar bat calls to calculate what members of group perceived as they foraged for food. It found the bats interact by swapping between leading and following, and they swap these roles by copying the route a nearby individual was using up to 500 milliseconds earlier . Dr Marc Holderied, of the School of Biological Sciences at Bristol University, studied pairs of Daubenton\u2019s bats foraging low over water for stranded insects at a site near the village of Barrow Gurney, in Somerset. These flying mammals perceive their surroundings by emitting loud and high-pitched biosonar calls and listening for the returning echoes. Because bat biosonar imaging is much sparser in information than vision, Dr Holderied was able to accurately measure the biosonar calls of the interacting bats and then calculate what each of the individuals perceived. The researchers found that the winged mammal uses one simple trick to create their interactive behaviours - they swap who is taking a leading role and who is following. They swap these leader-follower roles and perform chases or co-ordinated manoeuvres by copying the route a nearby individual was using up to 500 milliseconds earlier. The experts studied Daubenton's bats (pictured). They said: 'The bats seem to have adopted a simple trick - once another individual is close enough for your biosonar to pick up its echo [and] copy this individual\u2019s flight direction. The discovery could help improve search and rescue missions and surveillance operations . This almost as fast as the blink of a human eye, which as been measured at between 300 to 400 milliseconds. Dr Holderied said: 'The bats seem to have adopted a simple trick - once another individual is close enough for your biosonar to pick up its echo, copy this individual\u2019s flight direction within four to five of your own wingbeats.' And his team said the discovery could have wider implications - helping improve search and rescue missions and surveillance operations. The study was published in Plos Computation Biology. The robotic wings are made using carbon fibre and, similar to the wing of a bird, each have a wrist joint custom built using a 3D printer . Inspired by the way bats and birds avoid colliding in mid-air, roboticists have created flying drones with 'morphing wings'. The robotic wings are made using carbon fibre and, similar to the wing of a bird, each have a wrist joint custom built using a 3D printer.

Hernandez is charged with murder in the killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee. Lloyd was shot to death early on June 17, 2013, in an industrial park near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, sending his last text message at 3:23am, and two witnesses have testified they heard loud bangs around that time.

Kyle Aspinwall, a former New Hampshire police chief who now works for Glock, began his testimony Wednesday by showing jurors a Glock 21. The semiautomatic handgun uses .45-caliber bullets, and prosecutors have argued that based on ballistics evidence, a Glock 21 was the murder weapon. As Aspinwall testified, prosecutor Patrick Bomberg played clips of video recorded by Hernandez's extensive home surveillance system June 17, as well as still photos taken from the videos. At several points in the video, Hernandez can be seen carrying a black object in his hand, an object his defense team has said could have been a TV remote or another electronic device. But Aspinwall said his opinion was based on various characteristics of the weapon, including the curvature of back strap, the magazine well and trigger guard. 'In my opinion, the firearm shown in the video stills is a Glock pistol,' he said. The earliest clip played Wednesday was taken at around 12:45am before Hernandez leaves the house with co-defendants Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace in a rental car. Prosecutors have said the three picked up Lloyd in Boston, then drove him back to North Attleborough. Ortiz and Wallace are also charged with murder and have pleaded not guilty.

Since 2008, the number of self-employed workers has risen by almost 700,000 from 3.8million to 4.5million. One in seven people in employment now work for themselves, compared to one in eight before the recession.

While self-employment among men has remained \u2018roughly flat\u2019, more women now work for themselves so they can better juggle childcare, they said. A report by the Bank noted \u2018growing self-employment among female workers\u2019, pushing up the overall rate in the U K. \u2018Part of this rise could reflect the desire to maintain a work-family balance and flexibility of hours\u2019, they said.

They said: \u2018Older workers are more likely to be self-employed than younger workers. \u2018This is perhaps because they have accumulated more knowledge or experience to start businesses. \u2018Or it could be because they prefer the greater flexibility that self-employment offers. Growing numbers are now working well into their 70s as Britons live for longer. The number of older workers increased after the default retirement age was abolished in 2011, making it illegal for employers to force staff to retire at 65. The Bank said that around half the increase in self-employment in the last 10 years was associated with \u2018the ageing of the workforce\u2019. Improvements in computer technology have made it easier for people to start their own business, the Bank said, with entrepreneurs able to sell their goods online instead of the \u2018need for traditional bricks and mortar stores\u2019. Previously, critics have suggested the rise in self-employment was because those who lost their jobs during the economic crisis had been unable to find new ones. But the Bank dismissed this theory and said the increase actually reflected a \u2018longer-term trend\u2019 in Britain. It said: \u2018While the recession may have pushed some workers into self-employment where they might otherwise have been unemployed, there is little evidence to suggest this was a major factor in the rise of self-employment.\u2019 There was also a rise in the number of over 65s who are still in work, according to the figures (file image) The Trades Union Congress said the most common part-time self-employed jobs for women were hairdressers and cleaners, which are typically low-paid. They claimed that, while many women choose to work part-time, there had been \u2018a marked increase in the number of women moving into part-time jobs since the recession because they couldn\u2019t find full-time employment\u2019.

A police officer was sacked today after being accused of having sex with a woman suspect in the cells. Sergeant Richard Evans, 46, was dismissed by Gwent Police for 'disgraceful' sexual behaviour towards women in custody - and against his own colleagues in the police force. Evans, an officer with 25 years experience, denied having sex with women suspects and fondling their breasts and was cleared in a subsequent court case. But a police misconduct hearing today heard there were 41 complaints allegations against Sgt Evans - 32 of a sexual nature - and he was dismissed for gross misconduct. Evans was accused of kissing one woman in a police van before later having sex with her in the sluice room at the police station. One woman held in custody told how she was 'flattered' and boasted to her daughter: 'You're not going to believe it, but I s****** a policeman'.

But Evans, of New Inn, near Pontypool, South Wales, faced an internal misconduct hearing by senior officers at Gwent Police who upheld 41 against him involving inappropriate sexual behaviour towards female detainees and colleagues. Deputy Chief Constable Craig Guildford said: 'Richard Evans' attitude and behaviour was disgraceful, he abused his authority when dealing with female colleagues and female detainees. 'He failed to treat them with courtesy and respect, and failed to have regard to the equality and diversity duty in the workplace. 'His immediate dismissal was the only appropriate course of action. 'The police officers, police staff members and members of the public who provided accounts and came to the hearing to give evidence demonstrated admirable courage, dignity and integrity.'

The woman told the court: 'I just let it happen, I wanted it to happen. It was flattering - you've got a man in uniform and he fancies you.

Nigel Mott, 71, has been catching salmon in traditional basket traps since the 1970s and once netted up to 600 fish a year worth \u00a3100 each. But his livelihood was thrown into doubt in 2012 when the Environment Agency ruled that no individual fisherman could land more than 30 in a season. Nigel Mott is the last remaining commercial salmon fisherman on the River Severn and claims it is impossible for him to make a living if he is restricted to catching just 30 fish in a season . The River Severn. Nigel's home in Stroat, Gloucestershire, is around six miles from the town of Lydney, off which he fishes. The 71-year-old used to catch up to 600 salmon a year worth \u00a3100 each . Defiant Nigel continued to use his putcher rank - an array of 650 basket-like traps - and hit the quota in just 26 days. As a protest he presented his 31st fish to the local Environment Agency office - and was duly prosecuted. He won his case but the agency has now announced plans to appeal the decision. Nigel said: 'When I caught the 30th fish, I rang them up and told them I was going to fish in excess of the 30 - I even brought them my 31st fish. 'They seized my fish and warned me of a prosecution - which is exactly what I wanted because I was very anxious to get my evidence before a court.' The Environment Agency introduced the new quotas amid fears that the salmon population in the Severn was dangerously low. Nigel, of Stroat, Gloucestershire, has won his case, but must face another hearing in the Court of Appeal . After catching his 31st fish Nigel was prosecuted for breaching his licence and the case was heard at the High Court in London in February. Nigel, of Stroat, Gloucestershire, argued that the unreasonably low quota threatened his livelihood and would put him out of business. He claims his form of fishing has minimal impact on salmon in the Severn, as his putchers stretch out just a couple of hundred metres from the riverbank. That leaves a mile of open water for the fish to swim past his cages, he argued, allowing plenty of space. Despite winning the case his legal battle still shows no signs of ending as the Environment Agency has vowed to take it to the Court of Appeal. A spokesman said: 'Although the judge has at this stage ruled in Mr Mott's favour, we will be seeking leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal. 'All of these sites are designated to protect salmon, and these populations are currently under threat. 'We impose restrictions on salmon fishing for all fisheries in these areas because of the need to protect the designated habitats and fisheries.'", "summary": "Nigel Mott has been fishing with traditional basket traps since the 1970s .

And the Danish newspaper which originally printed 12 satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2005 sparked protests in parts of the Islamic world. The paper received death threats. In January, Cherif and Said Kouachi (pictured) shot 12 people dead in a jihadist attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in revenge for the paper printing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed . Solidarity: Just days after the attacks, an estimated 3.7million people took to the streets of Paris in a defiant show of support for Charlie Hebdo staff . Mai Mercado, a Conservative People's Party spokeswoman, wrote in the daily Jyllands-Posten: 'The cartoon crisis, the Charlie Hebdo killings and the latest terrorist attack in Copenhagen on February 14 are such an important part of history they should have a permanent place on the school curriculum.' However, she stressed that teachers would be free to choose whether or not to show the cartoons themselves, as long as the topic was discussed. 'Politically we don't regulate the details of what students are taught, that's an old tradition to make sure that Danish schools are kept free from political interference.' But she added that if teachers refused to show the cartoons she was 'convinced the students would go home and run a Google search because students are curious'. The Conservatives were shown as having 5.3per cent of voter support in a poll this week, meaning it would be the second smallest party in parliament if elections were held today. But the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party (DPP), which was ranked third with 19.6per cent support by the same poll, went even further, saying that showing the cartoons should be mandatory in schools.

+{"article": "America has long been known for its cultural diversity but the rise of the Hispanic population is unlike any other minority group in the country's history. By mid-century, up to one in four Americans will be of Hispanic descent and the white majority will give way to a so-called 'minority majority.' The US Census Bureau defines Hispanic or Latino to refer to 'a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American (except for Brazil), or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.' The Economist reports that more lenient immigration laws in the 1960s took the Hispanic population from just 7m in 1970 to 57m today, a number which is predicted to double by 2050. Rise of Hispanic America: Hispanics are becoming the nation's largest minority but inequalities between whites and Hispanics still exist . The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 abolished the quota system based on national origin. National quotas limited the number of people who were allowed immigrate from other countries. Thanks to the Civil Rights Movement, the immigration policy shifted and became focused on reuniting immigrant families and attracting new labor to the United States. For nearly two centuries and up until the time Ronald Reagan was president, white European immigrants made up to 80 per cent of the US population. Now less than two thirds of the population are white and whites will be a minority by 2044, says Census Bureau. Since 2000, the population of the United States has grown by slightly over 40 million people. Thirty five million , or 90 percent, of that growth is from minorities - Hispanics, Asian Americans and African Americans, says a report published byBusiness Wire. The U.S. Hispanic population jumped to 58.2 million in 2015, an increase of 2 million during the past year, says the same report. The growth of the Hispanic population is due to both convenient geography and rising birth rates, says The Economist. The United States is close in proximity to Hispanics' several countries of origin which makes immigration and communicating with families back home much easier. Increase in numbers: More lenient immigration laws in the 1960s took the Hispanic population from just 7m in 1970 to 57m today, a number which is predicted to double by 2050 . Rapid growth: Close geography of Latin countries to the United States and growing birth rates among Hispanics in America is causing rapid population growth compared to other minorities . Currently, 85percent of Hispanics are legal residents and Latino growth is not so much from immigration anymore as it is from births in the United States. According to a study published by Pew Research on March 9, births within the Hispanic community drives 78 per cent of population growth in the United States. Despite Hispanic growth, many inequalities still exist between whites and minority groups. Currently American Hispanics earn less money, on average, than white Americans. The median income of Hispanic homes at $36,949 and the medium income of white households at a much larger $75,448.

Scientists have found that growing humidity can cause an explosion of bacteria living on the preserved skin of the Chinchorro mummies. The bacteria then feeds on the ancient skin, causing it to break down into a black slime. The preserved skin on the outside of Chinchorro mummies in Arica, northern Chile, have begun to rapidly degrade as bacteria and humid air is turning it into black slime, as can be seen in the photograph above . Researchers say that rising humidity levels in Arica, Chile, is putting the 120 Chinchorro mummies at the University of Tarapac\u00e1's archaeological museum at risk. However, they warn that hundreds of other mummies buried just beneath the sandy surface in the valleys throughout the region are also under threat. While some of the earliest mummies found in the Atacama desert appear to have been the result of natural preservation in the extremely dry conditions, around 5,000 BC, the Chinchorro people began deliberately preserving their dead. Although the practice began 2,000 years before the Ancient Egptians began mummifying their own dead, the techniques used by the Chinchorro were often surprisingly sophisticated. They would often take the most care when preserving the remains of dead children and babies - suggesting the act had a deep significance with linking the living to the dead. First the Chinchorro would extract the brains and organs before then reconstructing the body with fibres. They would fill the empty skull with straw or ash. Reeds were then used to sew it back together and connect the jaw to the cranium. A stick was used to keep the spine straight and the skin was patched back together before being covered with a paste made from manganese, red ocher or mud. Professor Marcela Sepulveda, an archaeologist at the University of Tarapac\u00e1, said: 'In the last 10 years, the process has accelerated. 'It is very important to get more information about what\u2019s causing this and to get the university and national government to do what\u2019s necessary to preserve the Chinchorro mummies for the future.' The Chinchorro mummies are in some cases nearly 4,000 years older than those found preserved from ancient Egypt. The oldest mummy discovered in the Atacama desert dates to 7020BC while the oldest in Egypt dates to 3,000BC. However, the practice of preserving the dead with mummification became popular among the Chinchoro around 5,000 BC, with children and babies often being the most elaborately preserved. The Chinchorro were a prehistoric people who lived in scattered communities and used fishing to help them survive on the desert coast of Chile and Peru. It is thought they began preserving their dead though mummification as part of a religious act designed to bridge the world between the living and the dead.

His appearances as an analyst on 'Inside the NFL' weekly were also said to be a distraction. Brandon Marshall will head to New York on Tuesday for a medical ahead of his move to the Jets . The mercurial Marshall is yet to play in the play-offs . New head coach John Fox and offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase appeared lukewarm about Marshall at best. 'We\u2019re trying to evaluate where everybody fits and how we best use them and, again, trying to put the best football team on the field. He\u2019s part of that process,' Fox told the Chicago Tribune last month. Marshall was close to Jay Cutler - following him to Chicago from Denver via Miami - but raw quarterback Geno Smith could test his short fuse. ESPN broke news of the trade, which will also see the Jets give the Bears a fifth round draft pick. Marshall signed a four-year deal in Chicago last May, and had seven consecutive 1,000 yard seasons before falling short last year - largely due to missing the final three games with a shoulder complaint. Despite the numbers, Marshall is yet to appear in a play-off game. Perhaps that will change in New York. New head coach Todd Bowles was with Marshall during his two-year stint in Miami and will have been influential in the trade.

Sportsmail's team of top writers give their verdict on which player they would want to follow in the Uruguay international's footsteps if they were asked to cast their vote today. IAN LADYMAN . Nemanja Matic . Jose Mourinho\u2019s current Chelsea team is perhaps the most physically imposing he has ever assembled and Matic stands out as a giant among men. A superb reader of the game, Matic can pass the ball well, too. He would get in just about every team in Europe and that says it all. Nemanja Matic, in action for Chelsea against PSG earlier this week, has starred for the Blues this season . MATT BARLOW . Harry Kane . Chelsea have been the best team with immense consistency from Nemanja Matic and Eden Hazard. But no-one has made a greater individual impact than Harry Kane. He\u2019s transformed the mood at White Hart Lane with his energy and desire, deflected attention from the big-money flops and offered hope for the future as a flag-bearer for the youth system. Not to mention 26 goals, and an anticipated England call-up. He must finish the season and kick on, but Kane seems capable of that. Each time he seems about to fade, he hits back. Harry Kane celebrates with his second successive Barclays Player of the Month award on Friday . Kane, pictured celebrating against Queens Park Rangers, has scored 26 times for Tottenham this season . LEE CLAYTON . Who deserves to be voted Player of the Year today? Here\u2019s my answer to the question: No-one. It\u2019s too early. It\u2019s a nonsense that the players have to vote so soon and shows why the Footballer of the Year award, voted by members of the Football Writers\u2019 Association, has more credibility. I'll save my vote until then, thank you. But among the contenders: John Terry, Harry Kane, Philippe Coutinho, Alexis Sanchez, Diego Costa, Eden Hazard, Danny Ings, David de Gea and Charlie Austin. Voting now is like deciding a Wimbledon champion before the quarter-finals are played. I want to see how they fare at the business end of the season.

Already this season Hazard has pulled on a Chelsea shirt 41 times and has again been superb.

As emergency crews worked to retrieve wreckage from the site near Digne-les-Bains, in France, theories continued to circulate about what caused Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 to fall from the skies. There has been some speculation about the track record of the model which experts were quick to quash. Paul Hayes, safety director at aviation consultancy Ascend, said: 'The A320 family has a very good safety record considering that there is a fleet of 6,000 aircraft out there.' Scroll down for video . The safety of the Airbus A320 is being looked at following the Germanwings crash in France (file photo) Safety experts said it was too early to speculate on the case of the crash, but noted that accidents during the cruise phase of the flight are rare, even though this comes less than three months after the AirAsia disaster. 'We have had a couple of events recently but in general jetliners don't crash during the cruise,' said Hayes. Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of best-selling book Cockpit Confidential, allayed any fears the accident was purely down to the aircraft model. 'The A320 is a very sophisticated and popular model,' Smith told MailOnline Travel. 'I am not seeing anything in this accident that encourages me to think it is specific to that model. All Airbus models are designed similarly, and the A320 is the blueprint for other variations such as the A319 and the A321. 'I don't like the idea of blaming these accidents on specific models; this question is asked all the time, and all it does it leads to aircraft being compared with other aircraft. 'Crashes are so rare, and so comparing them considering the type of model is statistically hair-splitting. 'What you will also see is there is lots of discussion, and sadly lots of misunderstanding concerning how computers and how pilots 'fly' the plane. 'Usually in these cases, there isn't a single case, and it is a chain of events that can lead to something like this happening.' Wreckage and debris lie on the mountain slopes after the crash of the Germanwings Airbus A320 . According to separate surveys published last year by manufacturers Airbus and Boeing, only 10 to 12 per cent of fatal accidents take place when the aircraft is at cruise height. The A320 is described as a 'workhorse' of the aerospace industry, transporting more than a million people a day from business travellers to backpackers. The 150-seat medium-haul jet is one of the world's most intensively used, together with its main rival, the Boeing 737. The Germanwings aircraft that crashed in the French Alps yesterday, killing all 150 people on board, was also flying on the industry's most widely-sold engines, made by French-US venture CFM. More than 3,600 of the jets are in operation and another 3,700 are waiting to be built as Asia's economic expansion fuels record demand.

Laws, who recently came under fire for his tough on-air interview with a sex abuse victim, reducing the caller to tears, has admitted he was attacked in a public toilet in Sydney when he was 10 or 11 years old. 'I was a child. It was in a public lavatory at Mosman Oval. I didn\u2019t know the person. I was disturbed. I took off. I ran,' he told The Australian. 'I made it very clear that I didn\u2019t appreciate it. I would have shouted and yelled.' Scroll down for video . Radio broadcaster John Laws has defended his 10-minute on-air phone conversation with a listener named Brian . The revelation came just over a week after he reduced an elderly man, known only as Brian, to tears when the caller told the broadcaster he was abused as a child in the 1940s. Laws criticised Brian for not fighting the attacker off and called him a 'wet blanket'. But the radio veteran has defended his comments and said he did not think he had treated Brian insensitively. The interview earlier this month stirred an outrage among listeners, with some calling for his resignation over the comments. But Laws rebuked claims he had no sympathy for those who had been abused and said his reaction to Brian's story stemmed from how he had handled his own experience. Brian called Laws during his morning radio show on 2SM earlier this month and told him about his sexual abuse . He said his attacker was someone he did not know and he was left disturbed by the abuse, adding he would have made it 'very clear' he did not appreciate it by shouting and yelling. The broadcaster said his advice to Brian would have been how he would have reacted in the same situation, describing it as 'tough love'. When contacted by Daily Mail Australia, Laws did not wish to comment further on the matter. The shock jock called the elderly man a 'wet blanket' and suggested he should 'go to the pub and have a lemonade' In a 10-minute call, Brian told Laws about how he had been sexually abused on several occasions from the age of 11 to 14 live on Sydney radio station 2SM. Laws quipped and chuckled it 'took a little while for you to get around to talk about it'. Brian then told Laws he had in fact reported two instances to the police but he was told to 'go away and forget about it. No one would do anything about it'. It was at this stage, Laws added insult to injury as he told Brian that he should have fought the man off, as he himself had done when men had 'had a go' at him when he was younger. 'Did you scream in fright? Did you yell out 'stop that you bastard'? Did you lash out with your fists? Did you hit him?' Laws asked.
