UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- A rare meeting of U.N. Security Council heads of state, led for the first time by a U.S. president, adopted a resolution focused on stopping the spread of nuclear weapons Thursday. President Obama is the first U.S. leader to head a United Nations Security Council meeting. President Obama challenged the gathering -- which included leaders of nuclear powers including Russia, China, Great Britain and France -- to overcome cynicism against the goal of ridding the planet of nuclear arms. "We harbor no illusions about the difficulty of bringing about a world without nuclear weapons," Obama said, adding that Thursday's meeting signaled a significant step forward in cooperative global action. The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, calls for tighter controls on nuclear materials to prevent them from being used for military purposes or stolen. It also encourages enforcement of international treaties and U.N. resolutions regarding nuclear non-proliferation, particularly when nations such as Iran and North Korea are in violation. "The world must stand together," Obama said. "We must demonstrate that international law is not an empty promise." It was the first Security Council summit chaired by a U.S. president, and only the fifth time that Security Council heads of state have met. Obama led the meeting because the United States holds the revolving presidency of the Security Council in September. Both Obama and Russian President Dimitry Medvedev, who spoke later, said the world's two nuclear superpowers were working on reducing their stockpiles in advance of a global nuclear summit scheduled for next year. "It's obvious that an effective solution ... depends on the constructive engagement of all parties," Medvedev said, adding that he expected the Russia-U.S. leadership on the issue to be backed by "all nuclear powers." The measure passed Thursday -- Security Council resolution 1887 -- calls for "locking down vulnerable nuclear weapons materials in four years" while minimizing civilian use of weapons-grade uranium. It encourages full compliance with all international treaties and resolutions on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, including Security Council resolutions that cite North Korea and Iran for failing to adhere to international commitments. In addition, the resolution supports the peaceful use of nuclear energy, a theme backed by Chinese President Hu Jintao. China seeks to expand its nuclear energy capacity as part of an economic development plan that holds down greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown also cited the role of nuclear power as a clean energy source that should be part of the solution to global warming affecting every nation. Brown and other leaders spoke of the need to prevent nuclear weapons or the materials to make them from ending up in the hands of terrorist groups. "The biggest risk the world faces today is of extremists getting hold of nuclear materials," said Mohammad ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who criticized the Security Council on Wednesday in a rambling speech to the U.N. General Assembly, was absent for the meeting. In Libya's turn to speak at the summit, its special representative to the United Nations called for the IAEA to inspect all nuclear programs, including Israel's, instead of focusing on non-nuclear states. Asked later about Gadhafi's absence, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Libya could serve as an example to Iran and North Korea as a nation that gave up its nuclear weapons program and now had rejoined the full international community. "I think the message that the Libyans had at the Security Council is a message that we hope that the Iranians and the North Koreans will take to heart, and that is giving up a nuclear weapons program and the benefits that it can have for international cooperation and for their reintegration into an international community," Gibbs said. Brown earlier called for sanctions against Iran for its efforts to develop a nuclear weapon. On Wednesday, Medvedev signaled that Russia -- which previously has opposed such move -- also could support sanctions against Iran. "Russia's position is clear: sanctions rarely lead to productive results, but in some cases sanctions are inevitable," Medvedev said in a joint appearance with Obama after they met in New York. The statement bolsters U.S.-led efforts for increased international pressure on Iran to adhere to nonproliferation agreements in pursuing the development of nuclear energy. Iran claims its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes, but the international community accuses it of continuing to try to develop nuclear weapons capability. The Iranian mission to the United Nations released a statement after the Security Council meeting, saying the country's nuclear activities "are and always have been, for peaceful purposes, and, therefore, pose no threat whatsoever." "In practicing its legitimate right to develop nuclear energy technology, Iran has always maintained its need for nuclear power as an alternative source of energy to supply its booming population and rapid development. ... Our commitment to nonproliferation remains intact," the statement added. The United States and Russia previously have disagreed over Iran, and over possible steps the Security Council may take -- including imposing sanctions -- to push Tehran to comply with U.N. demands concerning its nuclear program. Last week, Obama announced that the United States was dropping plans to base a missile defense shield system in Poland and the Czech Republic, a proposal that had rankled Moscow. He has denied the change was directly linked to Russia's position regarding sanctions on Iran, but said any Russian shift in that direction would be a bonus.

Cover-up: Former Archbishop Lord Hope allowed a paedophile priest to escape punishment for sex crimes, a judge's report claims . A former archbishop who failed to act on alleged crimes of a paedophile priest should be jailed, the abuser’s victims have said. Lord Hope, the former Archbishop of York, did not act on 19 occasions when allegations of abuse or inappropriate conduct by the priest were raised with him, a scathing report revealed yesterday. But despite that, Lord Hope remains as an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of Bradford. Eli Ward and Bim Atkinson, who were among seven victims of the Very Reverend Robert Waddington, former Dean of Manchester, said it is ‘incredible’ that the man who did nothing to stop the priest has been allowed to keep his post. The report by Judge Sally Cahill QC said Lord Hope failed to act because his ‘concern for the welfare of Robert Waddington seems to have been paramount’. Waddington, who kept an official position in the church until 2005 and died in 2007, targeted young choirboys over several decades. One of the seven victims committed suicide in 1989. Mr Atkinson, 59, who was abused when Waddington was a priest in Australia in the 1960s, sent a picture of disgraced Tory peer Lord Archer, who was jailed for perjury, to the Bishop of North Queensland Bill Ray, adding: ‘I would be pushing for Lord Hope to be treated in the same way as this fellow.’ Mr Ward, now 41, was abused by Waddington between the ages of 11 and 15 as a chorister at Manchester Cathedral. He said: ‘It’s just incredible Lord Hope still has a position. Here is a guy who shoved it all under the carpet. 'He failed and failed to do anything and yet nothing has happened to him. He is still allowed to sit in the House of Lords.’ He added: ‘I’d like to see him punished. My opinion is that he’s committed a crime, perverting the course of justice, and should face the consequences.’ Robert Waddington died in 2007 - he had been accused of abusing seven different victims between 1955 and 1996 . Mr Ward said he left the choir when he was 15 after church officials became concerned – but the priest was allowed to remain as the dean in charge of the cathedral until 1993. Waddington then moved to York Minster, where more children were abused. He stayed in a lesser post there until 2005, despite the allegations made to Lord Hope, according to the report, which was commissioned by current Archbishop of York, the Most Reverend John Sentamu. Mr Ward said: ‘Here we had a church body which had been preaching at us to be morally correct yet, when it came to doing the same thing themselves, they were incapable.’ Mr Ward, now living in the Home Counties with a long-term girlfriend, added that he has put the abuse behind him. But he believes Waddington’s abuse was responsible for the death of another victim, a former chorister from Carlisle named in the report only as Peter, who was abused in the 1970s, developed depression and schizophrenia, and committed suicide in 1989. Lord Hope, 76, has described Judge Cahill’s report as ‘flawed’ but offered a ‘personal and profound apology’. He said: ‘This report makes it clear that not applying the policy is not the same as a cover-up. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.’

If men find me attractive and treat me as a lady, why do some . of you people think it's wrong??? Why are some of you trying to take that . away from me like I dont deserve to be treated with respect and . admiration? Ignorance, that's why. STOP THE HATE AND PASS THIS ON.' Disgust: The subject of the prank is immediately turned off Miss Carerra when he learns her secret . Onlookers: The episode even includes footage of other bar goers (above) looking on in shock . Unaware: Miss Carerra (right) claimed she did not know the prank would treat her sexuality with insensitivity . She even launched a petition on the website Change.org in an attempt to receive an apology from TLC over the representation. It reads: 'Before filming, Carmen educated . producers on what terms to use and what phrases would not be offensive, . i.e. "Carmen was BORN male" or "Carmen is a transgendered woman". Producers AGREED to respect her wishes, however, when the show aired it . was a blatant "THAT'S A MAN" moment.' The petition received more than 8,800 signatures. [/INST] Monday night's episode showed Buddy Valastro tricking Anthony Bellifemine into thinking that Carmen Carerra, 27, was born as a woman .

'The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime' Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey, August 3, 1914 . Prime Minister David Cameron is urging Britons to switch off their lights for an hour tomorrow evening to mark the 100th anniversary of Britain’s declaration of war on Germany in 1914. The Lights Out initiative will be the culmination of a day of commemorative events across the country and in Europe, with members of the Royal Family fully involved at home and abroad. Millions of homes, offices and public and private buildings, such as Tower Bridge and 10 Downing Street, will be included in the ‘shared moment of reflection’ between 10pm and 11pm, leaving just a single candle or bulb illuminating a window as a symbol of ‘continuing hope in the darkness’. The initiative was inspired by then Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey’s remark at the outbreak of the First World War: ‘The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.’ Mr Cameron told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Lights Out is a way for everyone to mark the First World War centenary and I would encourage people to take part and turn off their lights tomorrow at 10pm for an hour, apart from a single light or candle. ‘This will be a personal gesture in remembrance of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us 100 years ago. They must never be forgotten.’ The national commemorations will begin with a morning service of prayers, hymns and readings in Glasgow Cathedral linked to the conclusion of the Commonwealth Games. The event will be attended by Commonwealth leaders, Mr Cameron and Prince Charles. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend a remembrance service in Liege, Belgium, before joining Prince Harry and Mr Cameron for a commemoration organised by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Mons, where the first and last British soldiers who died on the Western Front are buried. At 10pm, to coincide with the start of the ‘Lights Out’ initiative, a vigil service will be held at Westminster Abbey during which members of the congregation will extinguish candles until there is just one left alight on the tomb of the unknown soldier, which will be snuffed out by the Duchess of Cornwall. Scroll down for video . Poignant: Young drummers in Sandhurst, Berkshire, will lead a special service . During the day, there will be a number of Church of England services attended by other members of the Royal family including the Queen, who will be at Balmoral in Scotland, and Prince Philip, at Sandringham in Norfolk. Other special events will be held up and down the UK, including a commemorative service led by Sandhurst and District Corps of Drums in Berkshire. Labour’s spokesman on the First World War commemorations, Dan Jarvis, said: ‘With the busy lives we lead today, the simple act of pausing, switching off the lights and lighting a candle will be a very powerful tribute.’

Roy Hodgson has come under fire for making public Raheem Sterling's admission that he was feeling tired ahead of England's Euro 2016 qualifier with Estonia. The Liverpool star told the England manager that he was too fatigued to start the match in Tallinn after shouldering a heavy burden this season for both club and country. Hodgson then made Sterling's comments public ahead of the match, which England won 1-0 thanks to Wayne Rooney's second-half free-kick.

England manager Roy Hodgson was criticised for making public Raheem Sterling's admission that he was feeling tired ahead of Sunday's Euro 2016 win over Estonia . Sterling did not make England's starting XI in Tallinn but came on as a second-half substitute . Sterling was replaced by his Liverpool teammate Adam Lallana in the starting line-up but came on as a second-half substitute. Sky Sports pundits and former Liverpool players Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Carragher both criticised Hodgson for not keeping their conversation private. Redknapp said: 'I would never have dreamed of saying that [I'm too tired] to an England manager, but then I picked up a lot of injuries. 'I'm sure Brendan Rodgers would have been leaning on him, [saying] you need a break and this is an opportunity to get one. 'Why on earth did Hodgson say it though? Honesty is not the best policy. Why has Roy got into this? He could have said 'I want to freshen this up.' This wouldn't even be a conversation.' Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp said Hodgson should have kept the conversation with Sterling private . Jamie Carragher, also talking on Sky Sports, agreed that Hodgson should have used more discretion . Carragher agreed that discretion would have been a better idea: 'Me as a player, I would never give a manager a chance to leave me out. 'But keep it between yourselves, just come out and say Lallana played well last game and say Raheem needs a rest. But now we are having a debate on it. 'Hodgson could have been more careful, but I don't think Rodgers would have been involved.' Sterling, 19, came off the bench to win the 74th-minute free-kick that led to England skipper Rooney curled in for his 43rd international goal. Hodgson said after the game: 'People don't like it when you simplistically tell the truth. We were training at The Grove doing a light session but some work in how we wanted to play the game tactically. Hodgson chats to Sterling during training on the eve of the match in Tallinn, which England won 1-0 . Sterling's Liverpool teammate Adam Lallana started in his place in the England midfield diamond . 'Just before we started, Raheem had done the warm up and he came to me and said ''look I really am feeling a bit tired, I'm not in my best form at the moment because I am feeling a bit tired''. 'So I said best thing is Adam Lallana starts the game and you rest and I have got you to bring on from the bench, simple as that. 'As you saw when he came on there is nothing wrong with him and he isn't suffering from anything. 'It was a question of having two players, who both did pretty well against San Marino and one is telling me he is a bit tired and jaded, the other one is full of beans. 'We'll put the one on who is full of beans and keep the other one up your sleeve. 'I think it would be wrong of players to try to fool me into think they are ready and that they're 100 per cent when they aren't because they are robbing somebody else of an opportunity. I thought Lallana had a good game.'

Every frontline police officer should be offered a Taser to help fight the threat from lone-wolf terrorists, a police leader declared yesterday. Steve White, who chairs the Police Federation, said evidence of plans to murder officers made the move necessary. ‘The terrorist ideal to get attention no longer relies on an attack being in a place of note,’ he said. ‘It could be in Cheam high street, in any town, in any part of the UK. We know there are more dangerous people out there, preparing to attack police officers and we need to be able to respond to that threat.’ Steve White, who chairs the Police Federation, said evidence of plans to murder officers made it necessary for every frontline officer to be offered a taser . Leaders of the Police Federation are set to vote next month about whether every uniformed officer should be offered training in the use of a Taser . The terrorist threat level for police was raised to severe two weeks ago in the wake of the Paris atrocity and a foiled assault on officers in Belgium. Since then, police chiefs and junior officers have been considering how to counter the extra dangers. Last December, a threat was made to kidnap and kill a policeman in the West Midlands. Officers were given extra security briefings and urged not to travel to work in uniform. Leaders of the Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, will vote next month on a proposal that every uniformed frontline officer should be offered training in the use of Tasers, though some may choose not to carry them. The weapons, which carry an electric current of up to 50,000 volts to incapacitate dangerous suspects, have been linked to at least ten deaths in England and Wales over the past decade. Some senior officers are believed to support the idea in theory, but one police leader said chief constables would be mostly opposed. The police chief, speaking anonymously, told the Guardian: ‘The idea of arming every police officer with a Taser is alien to 200 years of police culture. It is a stepping stone to arming the police – something strapped to your hip that looks like a firearm is a huge shift in what we stand for.’

By . Dan Bloom . It's one very, very small step for man - but a giant leap for antkind. Around 800 common ants, usually found pattering across pavements and picnics, have been sent to the International Space Station to teach scientists how they move in low gravity. Eight colonies each about the size of a tablet computer have been set up to teach experts how to build robots which interact with each other. Welcome: Nasa astronaut Rick Mastracchio greets 800 new friends aboard the International Space Station. Scientists will study how ants work together in low gravity and copy their methods to develop robots . Small steps: Each of the eight colonies is the size of a tablet computer and can be expanded to examine how the insects work together in different-sized environments . As the colonies are expanded, the ants move from small circles to straight lines to cover more ground . Houseguests: The colonies were delivered alongside Christmas presents for ISS astronauts . It is because 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 then be adapted to instruct robots to work together in the same way, for tasks like searching a burning building. Video cameras are trained on the experiment and images of the pavement ants, as they are known, are being beamed back to Earth. Close-up: The images will be beamed back to Earth. Pictured: Nasa flight engineer Mike Hopkins . Significant: The experiment could help develop robots which search disaster zones or burning buildings . These will be monitored by students at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, and compared to a similar colony in their classroom. Stefanie Countryman, a professor at Bioserve Space Technologies, the private firm which launched the mission, told Bionews Texas: 'When ant densities are high, each ant thoroughly searches one small area in a circular, ‘random’ walk. 'When ant densities are low, each ant searches by walking in a relatively straight line, allowing it to cover more ground.' The unusual cargo was delivered by an unmanned supply rocket this week which also included 28 mini-satellites known as Doves. Each less than 2ft across, they contain ultra high definition cameras which could track crop harvests, climate change and natural disasters like wildfires and floods. The cargo also included Christmas presents for those aboard the International Space Station - which were supposed to be delivered last month. The ants' launch had to be delayed several times after emergency repairs, America's 'polar vortex' of cold weather and a strong solar storm all intervened.

Workers digging an underground garage for a new hotel recently struck something big about 30 feet below the surface.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- People in big cities walk past them every day -- street performers, or buskers. Some are talented, some are not, and most aren't performing for a cause greater than themselves. But on Monday, 12-year-old Abby Miller was. Abby Miller sings for her friend Taylor Love outside Washington's Union Station on Monday. She was performing outside Washington's Union Station to help her 4-year-old friend, Taylor Love, who is suffering from cancer. Abby sat in front of the station with a couple of her friends, singing songs and strumming a guitar. Passers-by seemed to notice the girl's singing talent, stopping to listen in the chilly weather, with a few putting money in a bucket at Abby's feet. Abby said the money will help support Taylor's family. A few more stopped to write messages on "Love Notes," little cards designed to encourage Taylor Love through the tough time. "Her mom reads them to her before she goes to bed at night," Abby said. "Taylor gets excited for them and she loves getting them read to her because she likes knowing that people are supporting her and people are actually thinking of her." Taylor has neuroblastoma, a cancer that affects the nervous system. According to her Web site, she is in remission, but this type of cancer has a high risk of recurrence. There has been little research on the illness, of which there are about 650 new cases in the United States each year. Mike Gillette, a family friend of both Taylor and Abby, brought the two girls together. While raising money and support for Taylor is important, he said, he thinks Abby's outreach can help bring more critical awareness for the devastating disease. "She really wanted to reach people all over the country," he said. Gillette said he has taken Abby to do similar performances in the District of Columbia, New Jersey and Virginia, and estimates they've raised thousands of dollars and have gotten people to write several hundred "Love Notes." Abby does more than just raise money and awareness for her friend. Taylor's mother, Aimee, said that although Abby is eight years older than Taylor, the two see each other often and have a special connection that helps her get through her daughter's illness. "I think it's amazing for a 12-year-old Abby to be drawn to my daughter, who is 4 and wants to inspire other children," Aimee Love said. "The joy I see in Taylor when she sees Abby brings a light into my life." Taylor's family said her treatments are terribly painful. But Abby said Taylor has enormous character. "She's the most happy girl in the world, which I think is just incredible," Abby said. "She's so much fun to be around. She's a little 4-year-old girl but she's got a heart of like a thousand grown adults." Aimee Love said her daughter feels the same way about Abby. "It gives her someone to aspire to, someone to be inspired by," she said.

Denise Shepherd, 19, who died from an overdose of heroin and a cocktail of pills after becoming addicted to drugs aged 11 . A teenage girl died from an overdose of heroin and a cocktail of pills after becoming addicted to drugs when she was aged just 11, an inquest has heard. Denise Shepherd started smoking cannabis before starting secondary school and then progressed to harder drugs such as heroin. In June last year, aged 19, she was found dead in the flat she shared with her boyfriend Jamie Hayne in Eastbourne, East Sussex, when he woke in the early hours of the morning and found she had stopped breathing. At an inquest into her death at Eastbourne Magistrate's Court, her mother Joann Bell told the coroner how her daughter had moved into her flat in a bid to get her to stop taking drugs but was later joined by Mr Hayne. The pair were said to be drinking heavily and were suspected of taking drugs. However, two days before Miss Shepherd, who was unemployed, was found dead, Ms Bell moved out of the flat. She said her daughter and Mr Hayne had a volatile relationship and didn't clean up after themselves. She said: 'They became increasingly difficult to live with. 'I struggled financially because they came to me for food.' She also told the hearing how her daughter had smoked cannabis from a very early age after she had 'fallen in with the wrong crowd'. Coronor Alan Craze was also told how a neighbour had tried to administer CPR to Miss Shepherd when she was discovered unconscious. When paramedics arrived they too were unable to revive her and it is feared she may have been dead for some time. Mr Craze then recorded a verdict of death due to a dependence on drugs. The inquest at Eastbourne Magistrates Court, pictured, saw Coroner Alan Craze record a verdict of death due to a dependence on drugs . Speaking after the inquest, Ms Bell said she has tried to warn her daughter about the dangers of drugs. She said: 'It is so difficult. People won’t talk to their parents about drugs. 'I tried to sit down and talk to her calmly but I never was aware exactly what was going on. 'I wouldn’t have moved out if I had known. 'She was gullible, naive and easily-led. 'She would be an aunty now. Her brother is now a father. She would have loved being an aunty.'

Las Vegas (CNN) -- The makers of Gorilla Glass, the glass that's used in touchscreen gadgets such as iPhones, iPads and more than 500 other models of electronic gadgets, has officially unveiled a thinner and more touch-sensitive version of their product. When it comes to innovation in electronic gadgets, a new kind of glass is not especially sexy. But when that glass is built into millions of touchscreen devices, and could potentially make them thinner, lighter and more responsive to your finger, consumers may take notice. Corning Inc. says Gorilla Glass 2 is thinner and more touch-sensitive without sacrificing toughness or resistance to scratches. The company showed off the glass Monday at a gadget-showcase event at the International Consumer Electronics Show here and is showing live demos of its enhanced qualities at the Corning booth throughout the four-day show. The new glass is not any less resistant to breakage than the current Gorilla Glass, which may be disappointing news to anyone who has had to put up with a cracked screen after dropping a phone. "It's not scratch-proof. And if they drop it on granite, it can be broken," said Corning general manager Clifford Hund. But he added that Corning has managed to make the glass 20% thinner but just as strong -- a key advancement at a time when smartphone and tablet makers are trying to produce ever-thinner devices. The second generation of Gorilla Glass will debut in Windows-based PCs this year. Other manufacturers also are weighing how and when to add the glass to their upcoming devices, Hund said. Because it's thinner -- about 0.8 millimeters instead of 1 millimeter -- the glass allows users' fingers to be closer to the touch interface, creating a screen that responds more quickly and accurately, said Gorilla Glass program director Jaymin Amin. The glass also has been engineered to let more light through, creating a brighter display screen, Corning executives said. Due to customer nondisclosure agreements, Corning cannot name all the devices that use Gorilla Glass -- including Apple products. But according to multiple other sources, including Walter Isaacson's recent biography of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, the product's first consumer application was the original iPhone in 2007. A passage from Isaacson's book details how Apple had originally planned to use plastic display coverings for its iPhone before Jobs approached Corning CEO Wendell Weeks about ordering glass instead. Weeks told him Corning had developed a tough form of glass, made extra strong by a chemical process, but couldn't find a market for it. Weeks didn't think Corning could manufacture the glass fast enough to meet Apple's timetable for the iPhone launch. But at the prodding of Jobs, who wouldn't take no for an answer, Corning did it in six months. After the iPhone hit the market, Jobs sent Weeks a note that said, "We couldn't have done it without you." Gorilla Glass also is part of touchscreens in electronic devices by Acer, Asus, Dell, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony, among other manufacturers. Amin demonstrated its toughness Monday by placing a small square of the original glass in a lever press, then applying more than 100 pounds of pressure onto it. Despite looking like he was truly exerting himself, he couldn't break it. Amin then tested the new glass the same way and got the same result.

(CNN)The Red Bull Formula One team has had its trophy cabinet cleared out by thieves in a smash-and-grab burglary Friday night. The British-based marque has won 50 grands prix, four constructor titles and four drivers' world championships in its 10-year history. The spoils of this success had been on display in the reception to its factory, which is based on an industrial estate in Milton Keynes, England. "We are obviously devastated by this serious factory break-in, which saw offenders drive a vehicle through our front entrance and steal more than 60 trophies which took years and hard work to accumulate," Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said in a statement. "The break in caused significant damage and was very upsetting for our night officers who were on duty at the time. "Beyond the aggressive nature of this break in, we are perplexed why anyone would take these trophies. "The value to the team is of course extraordinarily high due to the sheer hard work and effort that went into winning each and every one. But their intrinsic value is low; they would be of little benefit to those outside of the team and, in addition to that, many of the trophies on display were replicas." Smash and grab . Thames Valley Police are investigating the incident which took place just before 01:30 Friday. A statement by the police, who are appealing for witnesses, detailed the robbery was carried out by around six men. "Two cars were involved in the burglary," the statement added. "A silver 4x4 which was used to drive through the entrance and a further dark colored, black or dark blue Mercedes estate car. Both are believed to have foreign number plates." Red Bull said it would be review access to its factory following the incident. The team has a reputation as one of the most open in the secretive world of F1.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- "Teflon Don" rapper Rick Ross crashed his silver Rolls Royce into an apartment building after he heard gunfire along a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, street Monday morning, police said. "The driver of the Rolls Royce attempted to drive away from the direction of the shots being fired and lost control of the vehicle, striking a nearby apartment building," Fort Lauderdale Police Detective DeAnna Garcia said. Ross and a female passenger were not hurt by the wreck or the gunshots, Garcia said. "The suspects fled from the area prior to police arrival," she said. The incident, however, called attention to threats against the artist's life made in a street gang's videos and posted online in recent months. "We're pulling up on you," a man who identified himself as a member of the Gangster Disciples warned in one of the videos. "Whatever city, whatever state, the pressure on." Several videos purporting to be from Gangster Disciple members in several states -- including Georgia, North Carolina and Florida -- appeared on YouTube late last year demanding that Ross pay a fee to them for his use of the Star of David, which they claim as a gang symbol, and a reference to one of their founders in his music and marketing. "You got to cut the check," one video said. "Tell your boss man he got to get that check, or all you in trouble." "We need that cash right now," another said. Ross, 37, whose albums include "Teflon Don" in 2010 and "Deeper Than Rap" a year earlier, told south Florida radio station 99 Jamz last month that he was not intimidated by the threats. "Ain't never no checks getting cut," he said. "I don't play those games. I consider that extortion." Is Nas hip-hop's finest MC? Ross did cancel his North Carolina shows last month just days after a video appeared online threatening his life if he performed there. "Never was it due to any threats," he told the radio station. Instead, he canceled because "the promoter wasn't really handling his business." Ross wanted to make certain that listeners understood he was not frightened. "Don't ever get it twisted, Ricky Ross is the boss," he said. The death threats are not the only challenge to Ross. A former drug lord and gang leader is suing in a Los Angeles court, accusing him of stealing his name and reputation. "The reality is I want justice done," the original Ross wrote in an e-mail to CNN. "I know that he took his name and image from my life and believe he is unfairly profiting off my story." Ricky "Freeway" Ross was serving a prison sentence a decade ago when rapper William Roberts, who previously worked as a Florida correctional officer, adopted "Rick Ross" as his stage name, according to the lawsuit. "This rapper and his labels clearly knew of my name and story, and have tried to suck out the lifeblood without license," the former drug lord said. "I have my own use for my intellectual property and did not need this confusion created." More recently, the rapper has been using the name "Ricky Rozay." The rapper and his record label have not responded to CNN's request for comment. Despite the death threats and legal issues, his music is doing well. Ross is nominated for a best rap album Grammy for his latest release, "God Forgives, I Don't." CNN's Marlena Baldacci contributed to this report.

By . Bianca London . Just two days ago Kate Moss was unveiling her hotly anticipated collection for Topshop but there's no rest for the world's most famous supermodel. Aside from her fashion designing duties, 40-year-old Kate has been quietly creating a new beauty range for Rimmel London. The colourful collection of mascaras, lipsticks, eyeliners and nail varnish is bound to brighten up the nation's make-up bags this season and Kate shows us how to work the season's best beauty trends in the new campaign imagery.

Speaking about the range, which includes glimmering hues of pink, green, blue and black mascaras, she said: 'My new Idol Eyes Collection was inspired by my favourite gem stones and jewels. 'The intense authentic shades of mascara, eye colour and liner are perfect for creating either a statement or more subtle eye look.' Kate has also created four shadow sticks, which aim to illuminate eyes in one stroke, and to recreate her legendary eyeliner flick, fans can use her gel liner in dark emerald green.

As for lips, Kate's previous collections have been some of the brand's best-selling and she has capitalised on this by expanding it. 'I've always loved the laid-back bohemian look because it's all about individual creativity and self-expression,' she said. 'I've worked with Rimmel to create a palette that combines rich, earthy tones with cool brights and soft nudes. Polished: Kate has added her own range to the Salon Pro nail polish collection offering five bohemian shades .

Kate's new Rimmel collection, which lands on May 14, comes just days after she unveiled her new range for Topshop. The . model's SS14 collection is full of seventies-style pieces . including fringed suede jackets, jump suits and maxi dresses.

Kate is said to have taken . inspiration from her own wardrobe, which despite her status as a . supermodel, isn't just full of designer labels. She's also a fan of . scouring the rails of second hand stores. A weave waistcoat, suede . shorts and a deep blue fringed jacket are all in keeping with the . Seventies vibe. The latter is said to be inspired by a jacket the . 40-year-old has worn to three Rolling Stones concerts which she refers . to as her 'gig . jacket'.

For evening wear, there are sexy frilled flapper style dresses and long numbers that flash a hint of thigh. Many of the dresses are also in keeping with the vintage-feel making use of fringing, sequins and crepe satin. Meanwhile there are also some tailored pieces for smart office wear including tuxedo style outfits and trouser suits as well as summery floral printed shirts. While much of the collection will be sold at affordable prices, one dress is a more pricey £600. The high price tag is to reflect the precise work that went into creating the densely hand-beaded dress. Kate first collaborated with Topshop in 2007 before taking a break to work on other projects.

LIKE James Bond, Sir Roger Moore has at times enjoyed a martini. But the actor has revealed he can no longer drink the cocktail because of his Type 2 diabetes. Sir Roger, 86, was diagnosed with the condition last year, and it means he has to watch the amount of sugar and alcohol he consumes. A martini is a highly alcoholic cocktail, made from a combination of gin and vermouth. And it was Bond’s drink of choice when Sean Connery played the spy. Shaken not stirred: Sir Roger Moore, who starred in seven James Bond films, drinks a martini in 1968 . Opening up about his health condition, Sir Roger said: ‘I make a very good dry martini but I’m not allowed to drink them any more. No more sugar, no alcohol. I get to taste the wine and I can make a little sip last an hour. I enjoy it much more. I remember a lot more of what happened.’ Typically a martini is a gin-based drink, although it can also be made with vodka. In the 007 films Bond is known for ordering his martinis ‘shaken not stirred’, referring to the way in which they are made. The cocktail can also be made ‘with a twist’, which involves lemon peel, or ‘dirty’, where it contains olive brine. It was Connery’s Bond who drank martinis, Sir Roger explained, first uttering the ‘shaken not stirred’ catchphrase in Goldfinger. Sir Roger (pictured in 2013) was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes last year and can no longer drink martinis . In the past Sir Roger has admitted having a taste for champagne. These days, however, he sticks to soft drinks, claiming his ‘vice’ to be Diet Coke. And he has come up a guilt-free virgin cocktail – a Band Aid – which is a combination of non-alcoholic beer and Diet Coke. ‘No calories and it’s delicious,’ Sir Roger said. Giving an interview to the Sunday Telegraph the actor, who starred in seven James Bond films, went on to joke that he would indulge in martinis and ice cream if he knew he only had one day left to live. He said: ‘When I’m told I’ve got 24 hours to go, I’m going to have a couple of dry martinis with Tanqueray gin - not vodka - and a couple of choc ices with plain chocolate on the outside and white, white vanilla on the inside - oh, and baked beans.’ Sir Roger, who last appeared as 007 almost 30 years ago, revealed he had been diagnosed with diabetes last year. He had collapsed at home in Monaco and been rushed into hospital by his fourth wife Kristina Tholstrup. Doctors confirmed that the star, who had been losing weight for some time, was suffering from the condition. Appearing on US TV’s Late Show with David Letterman ‘I went to the doctor, and he said, “You know those high blood-sugar numbers you’ve been dealing with since you were 36? Well, you’ve graduated! You’ve got Type 2 diabetes, young man”.’ In the past Sir Roger has survived prostate cancer and had a pacemaker inserted.

LONDON, England -- Scientists in the U.S. are developing a laser gun that could kill millions of mosquitoes in minutes. The WHO has reported that around half of the world's population is at risk of malaria. The laser, which has been dubbed a "weapon of mosquito destruction" fires at mosquitoes once it detects the audio frequency created by the beating of its wings. The laser beam then destroys the mosquito, burning it on the spot. Developed by some of the astrophysicists involved in what was known as the "Star Wars" anti-missile programs during the Cold War, the project is meant to prevent the spread of malaria. Lead scientist on the project, Dr. Jordin Kare, told CNN that the laser would be able to sweep an area and "toast millions of mosquitoes in a few minutes." Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people from the bites of female mosquitoes. It is particularly prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world and kills an African child every 30 seconds, according to the World Health Organization. There are an estimated 300 million acute cases of malaria each year globally, resulting in more than one million deaths, the WHO reports. Responding to questions about any potential harm the laser could pose to the eco-system, Kare said: "There is no such thing as a good mosquito, there's nothing that feeds exclusively on them. No one would miss mosquitoes," he said. "In any case," he added. "The laser is able to distinguish between mosquitoes that go after people and those that aren't dangerous. What remains to be seen is how precise we can get." He added that other insects would not be affected by the laser's beam. Kare said the lasers could be mounted on lamp post-type poles and put around the circumference of villages, to create a kind of "fence" against mosquitoes. The research was commissioned by Intellectual Ventures, a Washington, U.S.-based company that was founded by Nathan Myhrvold, a former Microsoft Corporation executive. His previous boss, Bill Gates, who funded the research, asked Myhrvold to look into new ways of combating malaria.

New York Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda has been suspended for 10 games after being caught using pine tar to help him grip the ball. The commissioner's office announced the penalty.

Pineda said the dark substance was dirt but it sparked debate about pitchers' use of sticky substances to get a better grip on cool nights.

John Lackey (3-2) allowed one run and seven hits in eight innings with 11 strikeouts and no walks. Koji Uehara struck out three in the ninth in a non-save situation.

(CNN) -- Four suspects are sought in connection with the shooting death over the weekend of a Houston, Texas, doctor, Austin County authorities said Monday. Dr. Jorge Mario Gonzales was found shot to death at his ranch in rural Texas on Saturday, police say. Dr. Jorge Mario Gonzalez, 56, was chief of the critical care section at Houston's Methodist Hospital and "a pulmonary medicine leader," according to the hospital system's Web site. He was found dead Saturday when deputies responded to a 911 call of a burglary in progress shortly after noon, said Austin County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Paul Faircloth. The responding officer was met by vehicles leaving the location, Faircloth said, and a person in one vehicle fired on the officer. The officer and his car were not struck, and the officer did not return fire, Faircloth said. The officer was able to provide a detailed description of the vehicles, he said.

<s>[INST] (CNN) -- Four suspects are sought in connection with the shooting death over the weekend of a Houston, Texas, doctor, Austin County authorities said Monday. Dr. Jorge Mario Gonzales was found shot to death at his ranch in rural Texas on Saturday, police say. Dr. Jorge Mario Gonzalez, 56, was chief of the critical care section at Houston's Methodist Hospital and "a pulmonary medicine leader," according to the hospital system's Web site. He was found dead Saturday when deputies responded to a 911 call of a burglary in progress shortly after noon, said Austin County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Paul Faircloth. The responding officer was met by vehicles leaving the location, Faircloth said, and a person in one vehicle fired on the officer. The officer and his car were not struck, and the officer did not return fire, Faircloth said. The officer was able to provide a detailed description of the vehicles, he said. At the home, which Faircloth said is in a rural, wooded and isolated area, officers found Gonzalez shot to death and another person wounded.

Amir Khan has hit back at insults from America’s flamboyant world champion Floyd Mayweather by claiming he is more famous than the welterweight known as the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. And in a neat dig at Mayweather’s famed macho ego, Khan insisted he throws more punches in one round than the unbeaten world champion manages in an entire fight. Mayweather, who has earned £300million in a unbeaten 47-fight career, is looking for a super-fight with Manny Pacquiao and dismissed Khan’s plea to fight him by claiming the Bolton fighter’s ‘name doesn’t carry enough weight’. Amir Khan has announced that he will donate the £30,000 shorts he wore during his last week to charity . Khan posted two pictures of his refurbished gym and clothes from his fight with Devon Alexander on Thursday . But Khan, back in his native North West after beating Devon Alexander in Las Vegas at the weekend, was in fighting form as he held court at The Gloves Community Centre boxing gym in his hometown. ‘Mayweather says I’m not a big enough name but I am a bigger name than his opponents Maidana, Guerrero and Victor Ortiz put together. ‘I am known in places like India, Pakistan, Dubai and the UAE where they don’t even know who Mayweather is. India has a billion people, Pakistan has 180m people and I can’t even walk down the street there. I am bigger than Mayweather in a lot of places and I can help him become more famous, and earn more money.’ Khan isn’t worried that 36-year-old Mayweather could catch him out. Khan was all smiles as he talked to the assembled press at his gym in Bolton . Khan is hoping his next fight will be against Floyd Mayweather next year . ‘Mayweather throws maybe three hundred punches in a fight, I could manage that in a single round,’ he said. ‘Floyd will never hurt me. I have been knocked down in other fights but Mayweather is not the biggest puncher, not as big as Alexander. Our fight would be like a game of chess, hit-move. It would be about footwork and accuracy, nothing more, nothing less. ‘I speak to legends like Roy Jones and Thomas Hearns and they say I would beat him. Even the taxi driver I spoke to in Vegas said he hoped I would knock him out. The people there want to see him humbled . ‘But Floyd is the boss. If he doesn’t want to fight me, he won’t. He’s not the type of guy where I could just turn up to his house and have a chat about it. But maybe all this stuff about me not being a big name is a sign he might be interested, he is starting to promote the fight. I don’t think him and Pacquiao will happen.’ Khan’s homecoming to England after wowing the Vegas fans has been bittersweet. His friend Anthony Crolla, who trains in the same gym, suffered a fractured skull and broken ankle after being hit on the head by a concrete slab as he confronted burglars. Khan lands a left hand during his impressive win on decision against Alexander . Khan arrived back in Manchester along with his wife and daughter on Wednesday . Mayweather says Khan's 'name holds no weight' and that he will not fight him . And the terrorist attack that killed 132 schoolchildren in Pakistan, where Khan’s family originate from, has also affected him badly. The £30,000 pair of shorts he wore at the weekend, containing a gold waistband, will be auctioned off to raise funds for the survivors. Talking about Crolla, Khan revealed that he had volunteered to be his pal’s sparring partner ahead of his world lightweight title shot against Richar Abril in Manchester on January 23, which has now been cancelled . ‘Me and Crolla are good friends,’ said Khan. ‘I roomed with him as an amateur. ‘His trainer Joe Gallagher was at my fight in Vegas and I told him I would spar with Crollar to help him because Abril is a long fighter, and I have got long arms, I can replicate his style. It is probable that Mayweather will insist on fighting Pacquiao, an eight-division champion, in his adopted hometown of Las Vegas . FLOYD MAYWEATHER . Age 37 . Born Michigan, USA .

Draws 0 . ‘Then I got back and found he had been smashed over the head. I feel really bad, they have taken away his dream of fighting for a world title and tried to ruin his life, over nothing.’ Khan admits there must be doubts over whether Crolla can fight again. ‘When you have suffered something that bad, you have to understand the Board might not give him a license. It is very dangerous, is it worth that risk? ‘We fighters, even me in his position, would want to fight again, but sometimes you have to think of your health first.’ The attack on Crolla follows a knife attack on another potential Khan opponent, Kell Brook, in Tenerife earlier this year. The two incidents were totally unconnected but Khan says he is always conscious of trying to stay away from trouble outside boxing. ‘I don’t like fighting, I only do it when I am in the ring,’ he said.

Clearly Jesus was sexy. After all, He is the Son of God. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but as I watched the trailer for the new movie, "Son of God," I found myself gawking at the actor portraying Jesus. Diogo Morgado is one hot dude. His Jesus looks more like Brad Pitt than that nice man with the beard in all those paintings. I'm not the only one gawking at Morgodo's Jesus. He inspired the hashtag, "#HotJesus". It went viral on Twitter. The actor told The New York Times he doesn't want his looks to distract from the movie, but, "If the message of Jesus was love, hope and compassion, and I can bring that to more people by being a more appealing Jesus, I am happy with that." Clearly we have a new trend. A "more appealing" Jesus is not just a better prophet, he's ... sexy. We actually don't know what Jesus looked like. We do know he was a carpenter, so perhaps Jesus was buff. But, I don't think when the Biblical Nathaniel asked, "Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" and Phillip answered, "Come and see," they were talking about Jesus' beautiful face or chiseled abs. Yes, Jesus, as portrayed in countless paintings, has a six-pack. As comedian and author, Greg Behrendt joked, "I'd like to get ripped ... ripped like Jesus. Jesus was ripped. You've seen the pictures, right? He's ripped! Ripped. He's the son of God. He's not going to be walking around saying I've got back fat today, I'm so puffy." All joking aside, why must Jesus be sexy? Or ripped? Or even handsome? The Rev. Robert B. Lawton, SJ, a Jesuit priest and former president of Loyola Marymount University, says, "There is absolutely no indication that Jesus was good-looking and sexy. In fact there is a passage in the prophet Isaiah that is taken as referring to Jesus. It says this: . "He had no form or majesty that we should look at him/nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account." (Isaiah 53. 2-3.) While this might not be conclusive evidence, it's quite possible that Jesus was no Jewish Brad Pitt from Palestine. On the other hand, why wouldn't God create a perfect Son? "Anything that is sexy is going to attract people. People who might not go to the movie might want to check it out, particularly non-Christians," says the Rev. Lisa Jenkins, senior pastor of St. Matthew's Baptist Church in Harlem. "I don't see a problem with Jesus being attractive given our cultural context," she says. "I don't recall a Jesus who was not appealing to the eye. That's Hollywood." Jenkins is more concerned about what she considers an inaccurate portrayal of Jesus' ethnicity. The Rev. James Martin, SJ, editor-at-large for America Magazine, and author of the coming book, "Jesus: A Pilgrimage," agrees. "God did not choose to incarnate himself in Laguna Beach," he says. "He chose to incarnate Himself at a certain place, at a certain time in a certain person." And that person was a Palestinian Jew. "Many people have a hard time with the humanity of Jesus ... the closer He is to human physical perfection, the easier it is for some to accept Him." But, Martin says, there is a danger in that too. A physically perfect Jesus makes Him into a God pretending to be man. When Jesus was both human and divine. "He was like us in all things, except sin, as the theology goes," Martin says. "That means, He had a body, He got sick, He got tired, He may have sprained an ankle or two. There are passages in the Gospel showing Him falling asleep because He was tired. We tend to airbrush the physical imperfections away." Those traits make Jesus so much more accessible. So much more ... human. I tried to come up with a living person to compare to Jesus. That, of course, is impossible. The closest I can come, as a Catholic, is Pope Francis. I've grown to revere him. Is it because he's sexy? In a word: No.

By . Rachel Quigley . Last updated at 6:52 PM on 10th July 2011 . Theirs is more than just your average boy-meets-girl story. It's a New York love story, with a very modern twist. Allen Sheinman, 58, and his wife Collette Stallone, 56, said they know the secret to a happy and successful marriage - live in separate homes. For the first four years of wedded bliss the quirky couple - who met online - lived apart, she in Greenwich Village and he in West 23rd street in Manhattan. Secret: Collette Stallone said she believes marriage is a state of mind and doesn't see why two people have to live together . Force: Allen Sheinman said he didn't want to both get married and lived together but the recession drove them to cohabit . Allen - a managing editor at a trade publication - said: 'We consider seventh avenue a long hallway between our two domiciles.' But hard times hit as it did with many New Yorkers and when Allen's boss raised his rent to $1,800 a month, the couple did the unthinkable - they moved in together. Allen said: 'It was really a financial move to cohabit. Now we are transitioning into real-time marriage. This is it.' Speaking about living together - or not living together - Allen said it was an arrangement they were both comfortable with. He said: 'I told her I could handle getting married and living together, just not both. And to my relief she said, "OK let's get married and keep our own places". That's what I was hoping for.' Colette said: 'When you're young you think, "Oh, . we’re in love," all that. But when you get older, you say, "You know, I . love you, but I need my space".' Expensive: Allen leaves his spacious apartment on West 23rd street because the rent was increased to $1,800 . Tight squeeze: There is barely room for Collette's stuff in her Greenwich Village apartment nevermind her husbands . When Allen moved into Colette's tiny one-bedroom Greenwich Village apartment, where she has been for 31 years, even then they weren't prepared to fully live together. Instead of embracing cohabitation, the couple drew up battle lines, put up invisible walls and lay down a set of ground rules. According to the New York Post, there was no crossing into each other's space without permission, she had her own bedroom - where she generously said he could sleep at weekends - and he slept in a sofa bed in the living room. The end?: The couple are still blissfully in love after four years of marriage and living apart but will cohabiting change that? They have their own newspaper and magazine subscriptions,' watch their own TV shows from their own space and even have a shower rota. The kitchen - which also hosts the apartment's only shower - is the only place that is allowed for both couples any time of the day or night. Colette - a retired high-school teacher who now runs her home-made jewellery business - believes that not living together was the secret to their happy marriage. 'Getting married is a state of mind, I don't see why we have to live together. I don't need to see him brush his teeth,' she told the Post. 'It's bad enough I see him brush his hair. 'I don’t know where this idea came from that you always have to be in the middle of whatever the other person is doing.' Alarmingly, she said when she told her ex-husband they were now living together he said: 'I give it four months.' The couple are featured in a documentary titled 'Two's a crowd' which will have its New York premiere at the Rooftop Films Summer Series on July 21.

Allen Sheinman, 58, and his wife Collette Stallone, 56, said they know the secret to a happy and successful marriage - live in separate homes. For the first four years of wedded bliss the quirky couple - who met online - lived apart, she in Greenwich Village and he in West 23rd street in Manhattan.

By . Associated Press . and Reuters . Honey mixed with sugar might be sweet, but it is not 'honey.' The Food and Drug Administration is taking steps to ensure that shoppers who buy honey are getting the real deal. New guidance issued Tuesday would prevent food companies from adding sugar or other sweeteners to pure honey and still calling it 'honey.' Funny honey: The Food and Drug Administration is taking steps to ensure that shoppers who buy honey are getting the real deal . The agency said enforcement action is possible against U.S. food businesses or importers if companies try to cut those sweeteners into real honey and do not label the product correctly. If those sweeteners are added, the label should read 'blend of sugar and honey' or 'blend of honey and corn syrup.' The FDA regularly detains honey imports and tests them after finding drug residues and unlabeled added sweeteners. Only manufactures that do not add sugar, corn syrup or other sweeteners should label their products as pure 'honey,' the FDA said in draft guidelines posted online. The proposal aims 'to advise the regulated food industry on the proper labeling of honey and honey products to help ensure that honey and honey products are not adulterated or misbranded,' the agency wrote. Americans consume more than 400 million pounds of honey each year, according to U.S. government and industry estimates. New rules: The guidance, released Tuesday, would stop food companies from putting sugar or other sweeteners into pure honey and still referring to it as honey . But just 149 million pounds were produced in the United States last year, U.S. Department of Agriculture data showed. To feed America's sweet tooth, much honey is imported, and U.S. producers are worried about cheap substitutes. Pure honey is generally more expensive than those mixed with corn syrup and traditional sugar, and prices reached a record high of $2.12 a pound last year, according to the USDA. The FDA's review follows a petition from the American Beekeeping Federation and several other related groups seeking a standard U.S. definition for the natural sweetener to promote fair trade.While the agency rejected their request, it said it was willing to look at labeling. Sticky situation: If sweeteners are added, the label should read 'blend of sugar and honey' or 'blend of honey and corn syrup' The FDA inspected imported honey to see whether it had been 'adulterated' with corn or cane sugars. In recent decades, it detained honey containing such substitutes from countries such as Brazil and Mexico, according to the agency. Manufacturers have 60 days to comment on the proposal before final guidelines are issued. Even then, however, guidelines are not mandatory.

By . Lizzie Edmonds . William Henry Welch, 53, escaped punishment for driving without licence because his wife incorrectly told him he would be covered if he borrowed a friend's car . A star of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding escaped punishment for driving without insurance after his wife checked his documentation as he can 'barely read', a court heard. William Henry Welch, 53, avoided six penalty points on his driving licence because his wife incorrectly told him he would be covered if he borrowed a friend's car, a court was told. Welch told Magistrates he asked his wife to look at his documents as he struggles with reading. He was granted an absolute discharge after admitting driving without insurance at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court. Welch is a well-known campaigner for traveller and gipsy rights - and has appeared on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding among other reality shows. Speaking after the case Welch said: 'It isn’t all doom and gloom when you go to these courts, if you go and you have a reasonable argument the magistrates are willing to listen. 'You should never just give up and think that they won’t listen to you because they will.' The court heard how Welch’s own car had broken down when he was working in Leominster, Herefordshire, and a friend loaned him a Vauxhall Vectra to drive back home. Welch told the court he had rung his wife, Rachel, to check he was covered to drive the Vectra. After reading the insurance policy she told him that he was. Welch of Darlington, Durham, told the court he left insurance documents to his wife because: 'I can barely read.' Mrs Welch, 49, told the court: 'We were both named on the insurance document and so I thought we were both policy holders.' Andrea Milson, prosecuting, told the court that as policyholder, Mrs Welch was covered to drive any car. However, as Mr Welch was a named driver he was only covered to drive the family car and not the borrowed Vectra. Welch, a well-known Gypsy campaigner, told the court he asked his wife to look at his documentation as he can 'barely read'. He has starred in numerous television shows including My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding . The car was stopped by police on the A456 in Worcestershire last August and Welch was subsequently charged with driving with no insurance and no MoT. Welch admitted both charges but, in a rare ‘special reasons hearing’, his solicitor, David Dedman, argued that the licence should not be endorsed with the usual six penalty points. 'This was an honest mistake,' said Mr Dedman. 'He genuinely believed he was insured and was misled by his wife, not deliberately or intentionally.' Magistrates granted Welch an absolute discharge on the matter of no insurance. They imposed no penalty points, but he was ordered to pay costs of £85. He was fined a further £100 for the offence of driving a vehicle with no MoT test certificate. Paddy Doherty walked free from court after headbutting his stepbrother in March . In March, Paddy Doherty, 55,  walked free from court after admitting he headbutted his stepbrother. The 55-year-old breached the terms of a suspended jail sentence when he committed the assault at a pub in Flintshire, north Wales, in October 2013. He was given a six-month supervision order  instead of jail time. The 2011 winner of Celebrity Big Brother had previously been handed a 31-week jail term, suspended for two years, in January 2012, after he brawled in the street with a fellow traveller. The show's infamous dressmaker Thelma Madine was sued by her head designer for unfair dismissal at the end of 2013. A court ruled Ms Madine dismissed Leanne Phillips, who was paid £400 a week to design dresses for the Nico Bridal Company, based in Liverpool, after a heated row. Ms Madine fired the 31-year-old, who she had previously praised with taking her business to 'another level' after six years.
