As fans continue to mourn the passing of their favorite Vulcan, Leonard Nimoy's passion for photography - and the women he put in front of the lens - is also being recognized. Nimoy, called the 'Conscience of Star Trek' by the show's creator, once said he used photography to express the idea of feminine power. 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. It was when Nimoy was doing an exhibit for a different photography collection that he was turned to the idea of shooting fuller-figured women. After eight years of taking photographs of plus-sized women, Leonard Nimoy published a collection titled The Full Body Project in 2007, which featured obese women photographed in the nude . For The Full Body Project, Nimoy found new subjects in the plus-size burlesque group The Fat-Bottom Revue . 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. And his pictures immediately sparked an interest and a response from the public. And a new passion had sparked inside Nimoy. The pictures feature the women dancing, laughing and proudly staring straight into the camera. Nimoy said the pictures show the women's strong self-esteem . 'These women are projecting an image that is their own,' he said. 'And one that also stems from their own story rather than mine' For The Full Body Project, Nimoy found new subjects in the plus-size burlesque group The Fat-Bottom Revue. 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'. And with that Nimoy became an unlikely, but passionate, size-acceptance advocate. He told the New York Times the book was a 'direct response to the pressure women face to conform to a size two'. The pictures feature the women dancing, laughing and proudly staring straight into the camera - often times fully nude. Nimoy said the pictures show the women's strong self-esteem, he wrote for R.Michelson Galleries, where the pictures were featured in. 'These women are projecting an image that is their own,' he said.

Nimoy approached the managers of the show and immediately had her pay equalized, he confirmed to TrekMovie.com . And in the 1970s he fought for Nichols again, telling producers he refused to do Spock's voice in the animated Star Trek series if Nichols, who had yet to receive the offer, was hired as well. Tributes to the star have been pouring in since news broke he had died on Friday morning following a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. His Star Trek co-star William Shatner, who has recently come under fire for missing Nimoy's funeral to attend a charity event, said: 'I loved him like a brother. 'We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love.'

Ultra-conservative MP Fred Nile has lashed out at Sydney's Mardi Gras celebration, saying parenting, 'not promiscuity' should be celebrated. The Christian Democratic Party NSW MP made his comments on his official Facebook page just as the party was getting underway across Sydney and came as a television advertisement was aired during the parade, which claimed same-sex marriage would disadvantage children. A spokeswoman for Mr Nile, who spent the day campaigning in Coffs Harbour, said the post was designed to remind people of the importance of traditional relationships. Scroll down for video . 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.' Dr David Gend, president of the Australian Marriage Forum says in the commercial that 'so-called marriage equality forces a child to miss out on a mother or a father'. The controversial Australian Marriage Forum commercial starts with a mother at a park saying: 'We hear a lot about marriage equality, but what about equality for kids?' The commercial has been widely criticised on social media, with more than 1200 people disliking the video on YouTube, compared to just 150 who liked it. According to its website, the Australian Marriage Forum is 'an organisation that has been set up to encourage Australians to discuss the issue of same-sex marriage with some discernment and caution.' It also states marriage equality would 'have enormous consequences on our culture' and calls for a 'open and honest debate...free of the intimidation that so many defenders of natural marriage have been subject to in recent years.'

It is the game which, ultimately, could define the success or otherwise of Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane’s expensive Republic of Ireland tenure. Installed amid much fanfare 18 months ago, £1million-per-year O’Neill and his assistant Keane, with a £600,000 salary, were given a remit of qualification for Euro 2016, a task made easier by the expansion to a 24-team format. Defeat against Poland at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday evening, however, would all but end hope of automatic progression to the finals in France, leaving Ireland to do battle with Scotland for the play-off berth.

O'Neill and Roy Keane (left) were given big salaries and asked to reach the 2016 European Championships . An inquest, you feel, awaits O’Neill and his regime should they fail to beat the group leaders. One newspaper described their manager as ‘bookish and vaguely befuddled’, and noted the ‘carnage’ which follows Keane. There has been a definite effort to play down the chaos around Keane this week and the No 2 gave an untypically subdued and low-key performance in front of the press. O’Neill ignored the opinion pieces which have called into question his impact since he arrived and kept all talk to football. He said: ‘The importance of the occasion should not be missed. Defeat would be a big dent in our hopes of automatic qualification. It might not decide everything, but it is very significant. We have to try to win. If the Republic of Ireland fail to beat Poland, their hopes of automatic qualification will be all but over . O'Neill and Keane take a training session at Gannon Park as the team prepare for Sunday's big match . ‘I’ve said all along that the home games will shape our destiny. This is the first of that group. We have to make them count. ‘We can change all of that (negative talk) with one result and one fantastic performance. We will not get very far with a pessimistic approach and I’m not overly concerned with what people say before the game. ‘We have given ourselves a chance (of qualification) but we will have to be right on top of our game to win this match.’ One criticism of O’Neill is that he does not know his preferred XI or, indeed, formation.

One player not guaranteed to start is captain Robbie Keane. He was dropped for the morale-shattering 1-0 defeat in Scotland in November.

I’m the captain, I have to set an example. ‘But I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think I could make a difference. I still want to be the best. I have that hunger.’ Keane, sensing the air of negativity, added: ‘It’s up to us to make this a turning point. Victory would give this squad and country a huge confidence boost.’ Lose and it could prove an awfully long three months for O’Neill before they host Scotland. Win, and that £1m salary would look like a shrewd investment.

The Spanish Prime Minister looked shell-shocked after he heard how at least 45 of his citizens had been killed in the Alps plane crash this morning. Mariano Rajoy was being filmed by a TV crew when he received a phone call shortly after details of the accident began to emerge. His visit to the northern Spanish town of Vitoria-Gasteiz took on an air of grave seriousness as the PM cancelled his scheduled appointments and headed back to Madrid for a crisis cabinet meeting. Scroll down for video . Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was on a visit to a northern province this morning when news that 45 of his citizens had been killed in the Germanwings plane crash began to emerge . A film crew from the Spanish newspaper 20 Minutos filmed him receiving a serious phone call this morning . In a hastily-arranged press conference, he said: 'I profoundly regret this very sad accident. We are going to do all we can.' Meanwhile Spain's King and Queen abandoned a planned three-day visit to France after a brief meeting with French president Francois Hollande this morning. King Felipe VI and his wife Letizia had been due to begin a state visit to Paris today in a trip intended to strengthen links between the two countries. President Hollande welcomed the King and Queen to the Elysee Palace in Paris this morning, on what was due to be an occasion of celebration. During their visit, the Spanish royals were due to open an exhibition of the works of Spanish painter Diego Velazquez at the Grand Palais. They were then planning to go at the City Hall to open a garden in honour of Spanish fighters in the Second World War, before King Felipe was due to speak at the National Assembly. Instead, there was hushed mood when the meeting took place as both French and Spanish heads of state started to hear updates of what had happened in the Alps. King Felipe VI of Spain and his wife Letizia met France's President Hollande shortly after the crash emerged . The royal couple had been due to start a three-day state visit to Paris, but the trip was abandoned today . The King struggled to contain his emotion as news of the tragedy began to filter through to Paris . President Hollande said: 'We must feel grief, because this is a tragedy that happened on our soil. 'I want to make sure that there have been no other consequences as the accident happened in a very difficult area to access, and I do not know yet if there were houses nearby. I intend to find out if there were other consequences of the accident. 'We will know in the next few hours. In the meantime, we must show support.' He added: 'I will discuss the incident with Chancellor Angela Merkel and Spanish King Felipe VI, who is visiting us today. As we wait, our first feeling should be one of solidarity.' Germanwings said it was thought that 63 of the passengers on board were Germans, while reports from Spain suggest that around 45 Spaniards may have been on the flight. It is believed two babies and 16 children from the same German school are also among the dead. In Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said: 'We still don't know much beyond the bare information on the flight, and there should be no speculation on the cause of the crash.' The King and Queen looked shaken, appearing just minutes after it emerged 45 Spaniards had been killed . President Hollande said: 'We must feel grief, because this is a tragedy that happened on our soil' The couple said they would be returning to Spain and plan to re-arrange the visit for another occasion . The Airbus A320, with 144 passengers and six crew on board was being operated by German low-fare airline Germanwings on a flight from Barcelona to Dusseldorf. Germanwings chief executive Thomas Winkelmann said the aircraft began descending again shortly after it reached its cruising height, having taken off from Barcelona at about 10am local time. This descent lasted eight minutes, he told reporters in Cologne. Radar and air traffic control contact broke off at 10.53am. In Britain, David Cameron's official spokesman said the Prime Minister had been informed of the crash and 'would wish to express how his thoughts are very much with the families and friends of all of those aboard'. He added that the Foreign Office was making inquiries about whether any British nationals were on board, but had no information at this stage. He said UK air accident investigators would offer any assistance requested by French or German authorities.

<s>[INST] The Spanish Prime Minister looked shell-shocked after he heard how at least 45 of his citizens had been killed in the Alps plane crash this morning. Mariano Rajoy was being filmed by a TV crew when he received a phone call shortly after details of the accident began to emerge. His visit to the northern Spanish town of Vitoria-Gasteiz took on an air of grave seriousness as the PM cancelled his scheduled appointments and headed back to Madrid for a crisis cabinet meeting. Scroll down for video . Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was on a visit to a northern province this morning when news that 45 of his citizens had been killed in the Germanwings plane crash began to emerge . A film crew from the Spanish newspaper 20 Minutos filmed him receiving a serious phone call this morning . In a hastily-arranged press conference, he said: 'I profoundly regret this very sad accident. We are going to do all we can.' Meanwhile Spain's King and Queen abandoned a planned three-day visit to France after a brief meeting with French president Francois Hollande this morning. King Felipe VI and his wife Letizia had been due to begin a state visit to Paris today in a trip intended to strengthen links between the two countries. President Hollande welcomed the King and Queen to the Elysee Palace in Paris this morning, on what was due to be an occasion of celebration. During their visit, the Spanish royals were due to open an exhibition of the works of Spanish painter Diego Velazquez at the Grand Palais. They were then planning to go at the City Hall to open a garden in honour of Spanish fighters in the Second World War, before King Felipe was due to speak at the National Assembly. Instead, there was hushed mood when the meeting took place as both French and Spanish heads of state started to hear updates of what had happened in the Alps. King Felipe VI of Spain and his wife Letizia met France's President Hollande shortly after the crash emerged . The royal couple had been due to start a three-day state visit to Paris, but the trip was abandoned today . The King struggled to contain his emotion as news of the tragedy began to filter through to Paris . President Hollande said: 'We must feel grief, because this is a tragedy that happened on our soil. 'I want to make sure that there have been no other consequences as the accident happened in a very difficult area to access, and I do not know yet if there were houses nearby. I intend to find out if there were other consequences of the accident. 'We will know in the next few hours. In the meantime, we must show support.' He added: 'I will discuss the incident with Chancellor Angela Merkel and Spanish King Felipe VI, who is visiting us today. As we wait, our first feeling should be one of solidarity.' Germanwings said it was thought that 63 of the passengers on board were Germans, while reports from Spain suggest that around 45 Spaniards may have been on the flight. It is believed two babies and 16 children from the same German school are also among the dead. In Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said: 'We still don't know much beyond the bare information on the flight, and there should be no speculation on the cause of the crash.' The King and Queen looked shaken, appearing just minutes after it emerged 45 Spaniards had been killed . President Hollande said: 'We must feel grief, because this is a tragedy that happened on our soil' The couple said they would be returning to Spain and plan to re-arrange the visit for another occasion . The Airbus A320, with 144 passengers and six crew on board was being operated by German low-fare airline Germanwings on a flight from Barcelona to Dusseldorf. Germanwings chief executive Thomas Winkelmann said the aircraft began descending again shortly after it reached its cruising height, having taken off from Barcelona at about 10am local time. This descent lasted eight minutes, he told reporters in Cologne. Radar and air traffic control contact broke off at 10.53am. In Britain, David Cameron's official spokesman said the Prime Minister had been informed of the crash and 'would wish to express how his thoughts are very much with the families and friends of all of those aboard'. He added that the Foreign Office was making inquiries about whether any British nationals were on board, but had no information at this stage. He said UK air accident investigators would offer any assistance requested by French or German authorities.

They believed he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The incident occurred at around 5.50pm Monday in the area of Academy Street and Carey avenue. Franklin claimed he was walking erratically to avoid stepping in the dog feces on the sidewalk. But when Officer Stanley Wychock told Franklin that he was under arrest and ordered him to place his hands behind his back, Franklin avoided the dog feces no longer. Instead, police say, he lay down on the ground and began rolling in the waste. 'The defendant then stated that officers could not arrest him because he is covered in (expletive),' officials wrote in an account of the incident posted to the Wilkes-Barre City Police Department Information Facebook page. Franklin was taken into custody, cited, and held until he was sober, the Times Leader reports. Franklin couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Court records don't list a lawyer for him.

Upper House Mary Wooldridge admits that the the party has lost female voters which is perhaps due to the inappropriate treatment of women during the preselection process and also workplace bullying . The internal Liberal Party report apparently found that, during preselection, only female candidates were asked questions about their family and personal life. The report outlines the Liberal Party's unprofessional questions toward women about their personal lives during the preselection process . 'How were they going to balance family and political life?' and 'Who would cook the meals?' were some of the questions asked according to the report.

(CNN)In fairy tales, it's usually the princess that needs protecting. At Google's headquarters in Silicon Valley, the princess is the one defending the castle. 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. She admits there's an obvious gender imbalance in Silicon Valley, but for once is stumped on the fault. "Clearly the numbers make you think 'what is the problem that there aren't more women working in security, that there aren't more women working in technology?" she said. "And it does make me think what is the problem here? Is it the culture or the atmosphere?" Funnily enough, during training sessions Tabriz first asks new recruits to hack not a computer, but a vending machine. "There's this idea that you need to be a super genius computer geek to be a hacker. But in reality, I think anybody can be a hacker in the real world -- just think of all the non-software examples," said Tabriz. "A lot of people ask me what's the best answer I've been given to the vending machine problem, and the real answer is there is none. Some people think about how they'd steal their favorite snack; some people figure out how to steal the entire machine of snacks; and some people figure out how they could add some sort of functionality to the machine that wasn't there before" Tabriz's job is as much about technological know-how, as understanding the psychology of attackers. "Anybody who's working in defense -- police officers, security, or law enforcement -- has to stop and think 'what is the enemy or the attacker going to do?'" she said. "Because you always want to stay one step ahead of them." Read more from Make, Create, Innovate: . The world's largest machine gets ready to restart .

He recalls two alleged racist incidents, the first shortly after he won a gold medal at the European Indoor Championships in 1986. Linford Christie, now an athletics coach, has spoken of allegedly racist treatment at the hands of policeman . ‘I remember when I got my Great Britain tracksuit, I was so proud,’ he said. ‘I walked along Shepherd’s Bush, this policeman started saying, “What’s a n***** like you doing in a British tracksuit?” 'I went into a chip shop and came out of the shop, and he jumped me, twisted my arm behind my back, and arrested me. The next day they dropped all charges. It was just so stupid.’ Another time, he said, police refused to believe he was the owner of a sponsored car and arrested him. Christie claims to have been arrested by a 'racist' policeman after winning the European Indoors in 1986 . ‘A couple of days later the police dropped a letter which said, “You don’t need to come back any more, we’ve made our enquiries”. ‘I said, “I still want an apology”, and they totally refused.’ Christie threatened court proceedings and the police eventually apologised.

A pet goldfish is recovering from an operation to remove a cancerous eye after its owner paid hundreds of pounds for the procedure. Star the goldfish underwent the fiddly operation at Inglis Veterinary Hospital in Dunfermline, Fife, to remove one eye, which was cancerous and had left the fish blind. The procedure was paid for by the Gordon family, who also shelled out for an operation to remove a lump from their other pet goldfish, Nemo. Scroll down for video .

The operation to remove the cancerous eye was carried out by exotic animals expert Brigitte Lord (right), who received help from a vet to keep the goldfish under anaesthetic (left) and a nurse to monitor its heart rate . The procedure was paid for by the Gordon family, who also shelled out for an operation to remove a lump from their other pet goldfish, Nemo. Both operations, carried out last Friday, cost the family nearly £500 . The operations, which cost nearly £500, were carried out on the same day. Star, a six-inch goldfish, was welcomed into the Gordon family 12 years ago after being won at a local fair by Abby Gordon, now a 21-year-old student in Glasgow. The pet fish live with her mother Janie in Dollar, Clackmannanshire. Mrs Gordon said: 'I know it seems like a lot of money to spend on an operation for a goldfish but what was the alternative? 'I think we've a social responsibility to look after our pets and I know my daughter would have been distraught if anything had happened to the goldfish. 'Star is fine.He's swimming about happily and the vets have shown me how to give antibiotics too. 'I probably couldn't have chosen a better vets. I'm not sure anyone else would have attempted it.' During the operation on Friday, the vets used Doppler ultrasound equipment to listen through earphones to pulse sounds in order to evaluate Star's blood flow. To keep the fish asleep throughout the procedure, the pet was syringed with oxygenated water containing anaesthetic.

After the procedure, Star (right) was delicately held in a bucket of oxygenated water before being joined by the Gordon family's other goldfish, Nemo, who underwent an operation on the same day to remove a lump . After the procedure, Star was delicately held in a bucket of oxygenated water and, with its mouth kept open, was gently moved, mimicking the swimming action. This allowed water to flow over its gills for about for eight minutes, before the fish effectively came back to life. The operation was carried out by exotic animals expert Brigitte Lord, who received help from a vet to keep the goldfish under anaesthetic and a nurse to monitor its heart rate. Ms Lord said: 'This is a highly specialist field, using anaesthetic on a goldfish carries a very high risk and I'm delighted for the owner that everything went okay and the owners are happy. 'The financial value of a goldfish may be quite small but I think the fact that someone should have paid that much for an operation reflects the true value of the bond between pets and humans.' Star and Nemo are now recovering from surgery in their tank, which is situated in the kitchen of Mrs Gordon's home.

The amphibian was also unable to eat properly and the tumour was affecting its ability to see. Its owners had been monitoring the growth of the tumour, which was sprouting from its head, and decided to opt for the surgery which cost $200 (£105).

<s>[INST] A pet goldfish is recovering from an operation to remove a cancerous eye after its owner paid hundreds of pounds for the procedure. Star the goldfish underwent the fiddly operation at Inglis Veterinary Hospital in Dunfermline, Fife, to remove one eye, which was cancerous and had left the fish blind. The procedure was paid for by the Gordon family, who also shelled out for an operation to remove a lump from their other pet goldfish, Nemo. Scroll down for video .

Pictured: Star the fish ahead of the procedure . The operation to remove the cancerous eye was carried out by exotic animals expert Brigitte Lord (right), who received help from a vet to keep the goldfish under anaesthetic (left) and a nurse to monitor its heart rate . The procedure was paid for by the Gordon family, who also shelled out for an operation to remove a lump from their other pet goldfish, Nemo. Both operations, carried out last Friday, cost the family nearly £500 . The operations, which cost nearly £500, were carried out on the same day. Star, a six-inch goldfish, was welcomed into the Gordon family 12 years ago after being won at a local fair by Abby Gordon, now a 21-year-old student in Glasgow. The pet fish live with her mother Janie in Dollar, Clackmannanshire. Mrs Gordon said: 'I know it seems like a lot of money to spend on an operation for a goldfish but what was the alternative? 'I think we've a social responsibility to look after our pets and I know my daughter would have been distraught if anything had happened to the goldfish. 'Star is fine.He's swimming about happily and the vets have shown me how to give antibiotics too. 'I probably couldn't have chosen a better vets. I'm not sure anyone else would have attempted it.' During the operation on Friday, the vets used Doppler ultrasound equipment to listen through earphones to pulse sounds in order to evaluate Star's blood flow. To keep the fish asleep throughout the procedure, the pet was syringed with oxygenated water containing anaesthetic.

After the procedure, Star (right) was delicately held in a bucket of oxygenated water before being joined by the Gordon family's other goldfish, Nemo, who underwent an operation on the same day to remove a lump . After the procedure, Star was delicately held in a bucket of oxygenated water and, with its mouth kept open, was gently moved, mimicking the swimming action. This allowed water to flow over its gills for about for eight minutes, before the fish effectively came back to life. The operation was carried out by exotic animals expert Brigitte Lord, who received help from a vet to keep the goldfish under anaesthetic and a nurse to monitor its heart rate. Ms Lord said: 'This is a highly specialist field, using anaesthetic on a goldfish carries a very high risk and I'm delighted for the owner that everything went okay and the owners are happy. 'The financial value of a goldfish may be quite small but I think the fact that someone should have paid that much for an operation reflects the true value of the bond between pets and humans.' Star and Nemo are now recovering from surgery in their tank, which is situated in the kitchen of Mrs Gordon's home.

A Queensland father accused of killing his toddler son has been excused from appearing in court. Shane Purssell Akehurst, 33, had a grievous bodily harm charge upgraded to murder on Saturday after his son Corby died in hospital. It's alleged Akehurst assaulted Corby repeatedly over the past four months. The toddler, who had not yet turned two, was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries from Kin Kin, near Gympie, on Wednesday, but died on Friday night. It's alleged that Corby Akehurst was assaulted repeatedly over the past four months by his father . Akehurst was originally charged with grievous bodily harm and four counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. He's now charged with murder, torture and five counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. Akehurst, who is in custody, was excused from appearing in the Brisbane Magistrates Court when his case was mentioned on Monday. His lawyer requested the matter be adjourned until May 4. It's been reported that Corby was just a few months shy of his second birthday when his father allegedly threw him repeatedly against a timber bed at their home after he would not stop crying on Wednesday. The little boy died late Friday evening after succumbing to critical injuries. Corby's father Shane Purssell Akehurst is charged with murder, torture and five counts of assault occasioning bodily harm . The toddler, who had not yet turned two, was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries from Kin Kin, near Gympie, on Wednesday, but died on Friday night . Prosecutor Wayne Kelly told Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday that Corby began convulsing after his dad threw him against the bed numerous times and was left on the bedroom floor. He said the toddler's mother Kylie Woodford arrived home a short time later and called emergency services before the toddler was airlifted to Brisbane's Lady Cilento Children's Hospital. Since then police have worked around the clock investigating the circumstances surrounding the boy's critical injuries and subsequent death. Police will allege through medical history inquiries that the child sustained injuries over an extended period of time which ended in his death on Friday night.

A college basketball star who was found dead in her dorm room in January died from a blood cell disorder, not from choking on gum in her sleep, as police first believed. The Washington County coroner announced Shanice Clark's cause of death on Monday, nearly two months after the 21-year-old was found inside her room at California University of Pennsylvania. 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'. Clark, a communications major, had hoped to become a broadcaster and chose the school because of its good facilities after transferring from Santa Fe College in Florida. But friend Cleveland Clunis told the Toronto Star that she would often joke that she had gone to the university for a different reason. Talented: The 6-foot senior forward, from Canada, had played two dozen games for the Vulcans last season . Loss: Clark, who was from Toronto, was a communications major at the California University of Pennsylvania, pictured, and had dreamed of becoming a broadcaster, devastated friends and family said . '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. 'She could start a conversation with you from morning and still have you laughing and interested till sundown,' he said. Geraldine M. Jones, interim university president, said in a statement after her death: 'Our thoughts today are with the family of Shanice Clark, a senior from Ontario, Canada, who passed away early this morning. 'On behalf of California University of Pennsylvania, I extend my deepest sympathy to all of Shanice's family and friends. She will be missed by her teammates and coaches, her classmates, and by the entire campus community.' Clark left behind her mother, Kashaeka Fearon, and a younger sister. Sickle cell trait means someone is carrying a gene for a serious condition called sickle cell disease, which can cause red blood cells to change their shapes, potentially causing pain and infections. If someone has sickle cell trait, it does not mean they have sickle cell disease. Instead, they are a carrier of the trait and can pass it on to their children. If they were to have children with someone else carrying the trait, that child has a 25 per cent chance of being born with sickle cell disease. People with sickle cell trait have red blood cells with abnormal hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs and returns carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs) but they have enough normal hemoglobin for red cells to successfully carry oxygen around the body. While it is extremely rare for sickle cell trait to cause any complications, there can be problems in conditions of severe physical stress, including low oxygen conditions, severe dehydration, severe physical exercise or very high altitude. In these situations, cells can change their shapes, causing pain and further complications. Sickle cell trait, which is more commonly found in African-Americans than other races, is diagnosed with a simple blood test. Couples planning to have children may want to find out if they have the trait to see if their kids might inherit sickle cell disease.

Shanice Clark, from Toronto, was found unresponsive in her room at the California University of Pennsylvania in the early hours of January 18 . Early investigations suggested she had choked on gum in her sleep . But on Monday, the coroner blamed it on sickle cell trait, a blood cell disorder that can lead to sudden death in extremely rare cases .

To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee rarely talks directly to journalists, so when a US reporter received a note from her telling him to 'go away', it was considered a major coup. Connor Sheets had been chasing an interview with her for weeks, in part to try and establish that she is lucid. Since publisher HarperCollins stunned the literary world with news that Lee is publishing a second novel, controversy has raged about whether the reclusive, 88-year-old novelist is of sound mind. To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee rarely talks directly to journalists, so when a US reporter received a note from her telling him to 'go away', it was considered a major coup . The blunt reply she gave to Sheets has seemingly put these worries to bed. The writer concluded that this reply could only have come from someone who's of sound mind. Sheets wrote: 'It appears that Nelle, as her friends call her, is very much with it, that she is still lucid and that her acerbic, press-averse side is fully intact.' Lee had mesmerizing success with her book To Kill A Mockingbird, released over half a century ago, and fans and writers were both delighted and taken aback to hear that Lee was releasing another novel. They were even more surprised to learn that it was a manuscript written 60 years ago and hidden away after an editor told the young novelist to recast the book into what would become Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman, finished in the mid-1950s, features many of the same characters as Mockingbird and was discovered last year among her papers by lawyer Tonja Carter. But she was quoted by gossip blog Gawker as saying last July that her client sometimes signed things 'she did not understand'. Since publisher HarperCollins stunned the literary world with news that Lee (pictured in 2007) is publishing a second novel, controversy has raged about whether the reclusive, 88-year-old novelist is of sound mind . Go Set A Watchman is already number one in the best-seller list at online bookstore Amazon, where the 304-page hardback is available for pre-order ahead of its July release. Pictured right is US investigative journalist Connor Sheets who was lucky enough to receive a hand-written note from Lee . Could Lee, who had a stroke in 2007 and so often said she would never publish again, really be happy that a manuscript, long since discarded, was going to see the light of day? Mr Sheets hasn't been able to answer that question, but has confirmed that she seems to be mentally focussed and harboring a familiar contempt for journalists. It is well known that Lee has poor eye sight and is deaf. She has lived since 2007 in a nursing home in Monroeville, Alabama, where all requests for visits reportedly go through her lawyer. Mr Sheets described how he made repeated attempts to talk to her, eventually writing a two-page letter to her on February 5. This week that letter arrived on his doormat, with four words scribbled at the bottom in black pen - 'Go away! Harper Lee'. Sheets said: 'She may have softened her language as she has advanced well into her golden years, but the thrust is the same: leave her alone.' Carter took on the role of Lee's gatekeeper after the author's fiercely protective sister Alice died last summer. Tongues started wagging and Carter has been on the defensive, telling The New York Times that Lee is 'extremely hurt and humiliated' by allegations that she has been manipulated. 'She is a very strong, independent and wise woman who should be enjoying the discovery of her long lost novel,' Carter told the newspaper through emails and text messages. 'Instead, she is having to defend her own credibility and decision-making.' In February Carter released an earlier statement telling fans that Lee is 'happy as hell' about the new book. US media has fallen on the story, quoting alleged friends and associates of Lee as attesting to her excitement and lucidity, or raising doubts and speculation. Lee, who rarely speaks to the media, said via HarperCollins that she was 'humbled and amazed' the manuscript was to be published after so many years. Go Set A Watchman is already number one in the best-seller list at online bookstore Amazon, where the 304-page hardback is available for pre-order ahead of its July release. NPR reported that Lee's friend, Wayne Flynt, visited her the day before news of the book came out and said she was of sound mind. 'Does she understand what's going on? If you make her hear, she can understand what's going on,' he said on NPR. 'Can she give informed consent? Absolutely, she can give informed consent.' To Kill A Mockingbird won the Pulitzer Price for its tale of racial injustice in the Great Depression-era South. Published in 1960, is has become standard reading in American classrooms and has been translated into more than 40 languages, as well as adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Gregory Peck. Roberts said that regardless of its merits, Go Set A Watchman will be of important literary and scholarly value. 'What's in a writer's mind is always interesting,' she told AFP. 'Anything that makes people read is good and anything that makes people talk about race in this country is good.'

(CNN)When Oakland Raiders NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew retired recently at just 29 years old, he said his life had been focused on football for 24 years and he needed a change. 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. So now, this mother is on a mission. She wants to stop children younger than 14 from playing tackle football in youth leagues. "I don't want any kids to suffer the way my son suffered, the way my family suffered. It's devastating. Young children should not be allowed to play tackle football until they reach high school," said Pyka. Since filing her suit, Pyka, a registered nurse, said she's found some solace by connecting with other parents who want to make football safer for children, but she also has received plenty of hateful emails criticizing her for allowing her son to play in the first place. Critics say that she knew what she was doing when she signed her son up to play football and some even suggest that Pyka should be charged with murder for allowing Joseph to sign up for football, Pyka told me, clearly upset. "I didn't sign my son up to get a brain disease," she said. "We wanted him to play sports, to be active. We knew nothing about concussions then. It wasn't discussed much. It's still not talked about enough today. Should we all be arrested for letting our kids play football?" Clearly, the lawsuit faces obstacles, especially since Chernach did play other sports and it may be hard to prove the CTE was triggered by injuries suffered while playing for Pop Warner. But Pyka and her attorney, Gordon Johnson, at the Brain Injury Law Group, which is representing Chernach's estate, insist this case is not just about winning. They are going after the economics of youth football leagues. And if they win the lawsuit it may be less possible for those leagues to buy the insurance policies that allow very young children to play tackle football. "We have to prove that Pop Warner was a substantial factor in him getting it [CTE], and we knew from research that playing under 12 is when you're most vulnerable," Johnson told media when he filed the suit. "The airing of these issues will benefit everybody," he added. Jon Butler, executive director of Pop Warner Little Scholars Inc., told me on Thursday via email: "Pop Warner has been, and will continue to be, at the forefront of addressing player safety. ... While there is incredible sadness in this story, we question the merits of singling out four years of youth football amid a career of sports that lasted through high school." Still, when the lawyer talk is done, Debra Pyka won't get her son back. And amazingly, she did not sound bitter. And she's not out to end football. But "a 5-year-old playing football, it's ridiculous to have them out there banging their brains around." Some good has come out of all this, said Pkya. More people are talking about CTE. She said it's important that parents listen closely to NFLers like 24-year-old Chris Borland, the San Francisco 49ers linebacker who retired this week after just one season. Borland said he quit because he was afraid of brain injuries. He understands how his decision may affect parents and he has a message: . " Parents ... if you weigh the risk and decide this is something you want to partake in. ... It's a free country. ... But If I could relay a message to kids and their parents it would be twofold: Number one: make an informed decision. And number two: Don't play through concussions. Who knows how many hits is too many?" Considering the consequences, it just may be one of the toughest decisions a parent has to make.

<s>[INST] (CNN)When Oakland Raiders NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew retired recently at just 29 years old, he said his life had been focused on football for 24 years and he needed a change. 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.

(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 Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, which was set up to administer the fund, determined that only "full-time" faculty would qualify for pensions, which they defined as teaching 12 "credit units," with each unit equal to one hour of faculty-student contact time per week, over a 15-week semester. While originally a narrow measure of faculty workload, the credit hour quickly morphed into much more. The Carnegie Foundation warned against using the credit hour as a proxy for student learning, but the temptation of an easy-to-understand and seemingly standardized measure was too great to resist. It just made organizing the whole higher education enterprise much easier. If credit hours truly reflected a standardized unit of learning, they would be fully transferable across institutions. An hour in Arizona is an hour in New York. But colleges routinely reject credits earned at other colleges, suggesting that even though they use credit hours themselves, they know they are not a reliable measure of how much students have learned. Many students, however, believe the fiction that the credit hour is a standardized currency and assume that credits will transfer from one school to the next. This is an unfortunate and costly assumption, as community college students in Louisiana will tell you. Until recently, Louisiana students with an associate degree typically lost between 21 and 24 credits when transferring to a four-year state school. That's a year of time and money lost. Given that nearly 60% of students in the United States attend two or more colleges, the nontransfer of credits has huge costs, not only to individuals, but also to the federal government and states that are financing this duplicative classroom time. If higher education doesn't trust its own credits, why should anyone else? And Louisiana students aren't alone; transfer students across the country lose credits, which lengthens their time to get a degree. So we have two problems: Students who have earned credits -- at great expense in time and money-- can't use or transfer them. Others who have accumulated costly credits haven't learned much. And then there's a third dimension: Millions of people who have learned a great deal have no "credit" because they learned it at the wrong place — that is to say, not at a "college." Someone who has spent the last 10 years working as a nurse's aid in a hospital who decides to go get a nursing degree has to start from scratch, taking introductory courses he could probably teach, because colleges treat those without credits as blank slates. Employees at a biotech company with a high-quality on-the-job training program might learn more than someone in a two-year college science program, but unless this training is attached to an accredited institution of higher learning, the learning won't "count." For the millions of adult workers looking to retrain and reskill, the focus on time rather than learning, especially when between family and work, their time is scarce, is a daunting proposition. State and federal governments add to the problem, because while they spend hundreds of billions on higher education each year, most of it is for time served, in the form of credit hours, rather than learning achieved. We need to stop counting time and start counting learning. What could that look like? We don't have to wonder; some schools are experimenting with measuring learning rather than time—some for decades. One relatively new program is Southern New Hampshire University's College for America, or CfA, an online "competency-based" Associate of Arts degree aimed at working adults. The program has no courses, no credit hours and no grades. The school has broken down what students with a degree from CfA should know and be able to do, what it calls competencies. CfA worked closely with employers to identify the competencies employers were looking for, like communication, critical thinking and teamwork. Then faculty designed real-world tasks and projects to determine whether students had mastered each competency. Unlike in credit-hour courses, CfA has no seat-time requirements. Students can move through the program as quickly as they can demonstrate mastery of the competencies. Someone who worked at a PR firm might whiz through the communications competencies and spend more time on the math competencies. And the faster students can progress, the less they will ultimately pay. Students pay $1,250 for all-they-can-learn in six months. This means they can spend their precious time and money learning what they don't already know, rather than wasting it on what they already do. Students at CfA can be confident that their time and money are well spent and, at the end, they will have a very clear picture of what they know and can do. CfA is not the only one to offer this to students, nor the only model. Hundreds of schools, from Antioch to the University of Michigan to Purdue University, are looking to offer competency-based certificate, associate, and baccalaureate degree programs. How are universities staying afloat financially with such low tuition? In many cases, the answer is surprisingly simple—and, sadly, not commonplace in higher education—by focusing on what students need in order to, wait for it, learn. Fancy amenities, great football teams and sprawling college campuses may bring attention, but they have little to nothing to do with student learning. Some competency-based programs don't focus on research -- faculty are hired for specific expertise, like curriculum design, English literature or advising. Other programs use technology and data analytics to help students and faculty understand where students are doing well and where they are struggling. This allows for more targeted, personalized support by faculty. There is, however, a downside for students: Self-paced competency-based programs do not fit in neatly with the historically time-based credit hour, making it difficult for students in these types of programs to receive state and federal support. Without access to these dollars, the programs will remain one-offs and unavailable to the majority of Americans who could use them. Only recently has the federal government recognized the role it could play in encouraging the move from seat time to learning by redirecting some of its nearly $150 billion-plus financial aid budget. The U.S. Department of Education is encouraging innovation by colleges looking to experiment with alternatives to the credit hour, and there is strong bipartisan interest in both the House and Senate to explore innovative ways of paying for learning, rather than time. As higher education becomes increasingly necessary and expensive, measuring time rather than learning is a luxury that students, taxpayers and the nation can no longer afford. Paying for what students learn and can do, rather than how or where they spent their time, would go a long way toward providing students and the nation with desperately needed, high-quality degrees and credentials.

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. A probation officer who conducted a pre-sentencing investigation had recommended a prison sentence of less than two years, which the defense asked the judge to impose. Judge Bailey went above the state's recommendation and sentenced Curry to four years and two months in prison. The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office first started their investigation into Curry's actions on July 8, 2014, when someone called into the professional standards unit to report the jail services technician. A probation officer who conducted a pre-sentencing investigation had recommended a prison sentence of less than two years for Curry, but Judge Charles Bailey went above the state's recommendation and sentenced Curry to four years and two months in prison . Curry was placed on administrative leave that day, pending a criminal investigation. She had been working in the sheriff's office since October 2004, serving different parts of the jail including booking, inmate units and the control center. After her arrest, Curry was booked into the Washington County Jail and held on $120,000 bond. An article published in The Oregonian in 2010 said that in December 2009, Delgado-Galban, then 20 years old, allegedly broke into a woman's apartment in Hillsboro and raped her. The suspect later agreed to a plea deal, as part of which he admitted to one count of burglary with the intent to commit rape in exchange for having the rape charges dropped. In the wake of the scandal, the Washington County Jail has added surveillance cameras and beefed up security throughout the facility to prevent anything like this from happening again . In December 2010, Delgado-Galban was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison, and ordered to register as a sex offender upon his release. But according to sheriff's officials, he failed to meet the conditions of the plea agreement, which landed him behind bars in the Washington County Jail where he encountered Curry.

(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. The commission says although there is no direct evidence of an agreement between McQuaid and Armstrong, McQuaid "made a sudden U-turn and allowed Lance Armstrong to return 13 days early" to take part in the competition, "despite advice from UCI staff not to make an exception." "There was a temporal link between this decision, which was communicated to UCI staff in the morning, and the decision of Lance Armstrong, which was notified to Pat McQuaid later that same day, to participate in the Tour of Ireland, an event run by people known to Pat McQuaid," the report says. The report says the commission found no evidence to support allegations of corruption over payments made to the UCI by Armstrong. But it adds that "requesting and accepting donations from Lance Armstrong, given the suspicions, left UCI open to criticism." CNN wasn't immediately able to reach McQuaid, but Verbruggen issued a lengthy statement Monday, claiming "wild conspiracy theories and accusations have been properly debunked once and for all." He said: "I have studied the CIRC report and I am satisfied that it confirms what I have always said: that there have never been any cover-ups, complicity or corruption in the Lance Armstrong case or, indeed, in any other doping cases." Armstrong, who cooperated with the commission's investigation, thanked it for "seeking the truth and allowing me to assist in that search." "I am deeply sorry for many things I have done. However, it is my hope that revealing the truth will lead to a bright, dope-free future for the sport I love," he said in a statement. "In the rush to vilify Lance, many of the other equally culpable participants have been allowed to escape scrutiny, much less sanction, and many of the anti-doping 'enforcers' have chosen to grandstand at Lance's expense rather than truly search for the truth," said Armstrong's attorney, Elliot Peters. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, USADA, which banned Armstrong from cycling for life in 2012, welcomed the commission's work. "The report confirms that, for more than a decade, UCI leaders treated riders and teams unequally -- allowing some to be above the rules," said USADA Chief Executive Travis T. Tygart. "The UCI's favoritism and intentional failure to enforce the anti-doping rules offends the principles of fair play and is contrary to the values on which true sport is based." Cookson told CNN that the world governing body would be stepping up its fight against drugs cheats, working closely with the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA), national federations and, if necessary, law enforcement agencies. But the 63-year-old Briton still believes cycling has taken strides forward in the fight against drugs cheats. "Large numbers of riders are competing without doping," he said. "I want to encourage them and support them. I think it's possible to compete successfully in our sport without doping." However, Cookson reacted angrily to other aspects of the report, which suggested amateur cyclists and junior competitors were involved in doping. Of older cyclists, competing in Masters categories, Cookson gave a damning verdict. "The only people they are fooling is themselves, they are deluded," he said. But his harshest words were reserved over allegations that drugs were being peddled to young cyclists. "The people involved should be subjected to criminal proceedings because that's child abuse. I'm astonished and appalled by those findings," he said. CNN's Kevin Dotson and Paul Gittings contributed to this report.

Ever found yourself craving a cuppa but decided that boiling the kettle was too much effort? Well you’re in luck, because a fresh mug of tea is now available at the touch of a button – from your coffee machine. Two British firms have joined forces to launch tea capsules which can be used in existing Nespresso machines. The Cornish Tea Company will provide the leaves for a revolutionary pod made by Dualit – a brand best-known for its toasters and kettles. The Cornish Tea Company (pictured) will provide the leaves for a revolutionary tea capsule made by Dualit . Coffee drinkers have long enjoyed the merits of capsules, which provide instant hot drinks from machines made by Nespresso, Krups and Nescafe. But now tea drinkers can enjoy the same benefits with Dualit pods which are filled with tea from the family-run Cornish company. The pods are also compatible with Dualit’s own range of coffee machines, but do not come cheap. A single cup of tea will cost 30p – 15 times more than a typical 2p tea bag. Duncan Bond, director of the Cornish Tea Company, said: ‘We are terrifically proud to be the first tea brand in the world to be launching a Nespresso-compatible capsule. It’s never been done before and it has tremendous global potential. ‘When tea bags were first introduced people said they’d never catch on, now they are 97 per cent of the market. This could have a similar impact.’ Mr Bond, who founded the business with his nephew in 2012, added: ‘Many of our consumers lead very busy lives and this is not only incredibly convenient – the quality of the cup of tea is absolutely, scientifically consistent every time.’ The pods were developed last year after High Court judges ruled Dualit’s coffee capsules – which can also be used in Nespresso machines – did not infringe owner Nestle’s patents. The tea capsules, made by Dualit (left) which is best known for its kettles and toasters, can be used in existing Nespresso machines (right) The decision has blown open the tea and coffee capsules market, and Dualit has invested £1million in a new factory to meet the expected demand. The company started selling its own-brand tea capsules late last year but this is the first branded tea product to be made into a capsule. Dualit's Managing Director Leslie Gort-Barten said the Cornish Tea Company, based in Looe, Cornwall, was the perfect partner for the product. 'Cornish Tea are passionate, they are enthusiastic - they are player-managers in the same sense we are,' he said. 'The bigger a company gets, the more risk averse and blind to opportunity it can become. They weren't. 'I think Cornish Tea is a great company - it's a really good fit.'

(CNN)Here are some of the names you might be hearing about as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev goes on trial in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings: . • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. She was charged with shoplifting in summer 2012 and soon after moved to Dagestan. If she returns to the United States, she could be arrested for failing to resolve the shoplifting charges. She has phoned several times during her younger son's incarceration. • Ailina Tsarnaeva: Ailina Tsarnaeva is the sister of the Tsarnaev brothers. At age 16, she entered an arranged marriage that produced a son and lasted little more than a year, according to an investigative piece by The Boston Globe. Last year, Tsarnaeva was arrested and charged with aggravated harassment, accused of making a bomb threat against the mother of her boyfriend's child. She denies the charge. Her last known address was in North Bergen, New Jersey, near her sister and the widow of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. • Bella Tsarnaeva: Sister Bella Tsarnaev also reportedly has a child from a failed marriage, according to The Boston Globe. She was arrested in New Jersey on marijuana charges, and she entered into a pretrial intervention program. • Katherine Russell: Raised as a Christian in Providence, Rhode Island, "Katie," as she was known in high school, went to Suffolk University in Boston but dropped out before graduating. She married Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2010 in a small, private ceremony officiated by a Boston imam. She worked as a home health aide to support the couple's young daughter. Her last known apartment was just blocks from the last listed address of Ailina and Bella Tsarnaeva, her sisters-in-law. By all indications, Russell has chosen to be near -- and with -- her dead husband's family in New Jersey, rather than with her parents in Rhode Island. Russell had one dust-up with the law -- a June 2007 arrest for stealing $67 in goods from Old Navy. She acknowledged the theft and gave back the merchandise, according to court records. • Ruslan Tsarni: The uncle of the accused bombing suspect, he widely condemned the attack on the Boston Marathon, saying nephew Tamerlan "messed up his life, that's why he decided (to) take lives of innocent people." • Ibragim Todashev: Ibragrim Todashev was Tamerlan's sparring partner at the Wai Kru mixed martial arts gym near Cambridge. The two bonded over Chechnya and religion, sometimes laying out rugs to pray to Mecca inside the small gym. Todashev moved to Florida in fall 2011, not long after a brutal triple slaying in Waltham, Massachusetts. One of the victims was fellow sparring partner Brendan Mess who, along with two friends, were nearly decapitated, with marijuana strewn over their bodies. Authorities began taking a closer look at possible involvement by both Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Todashev, who was allegedly writing out a "confession" when, authorities say, he tried to attack an FBI agent. The agent fatally shot Todashev, whose family maintains he is innocent. • Dias Kadyrbayev: Dias Kadyrbayev, a friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's, pleaded guilty to "obstructing justice with the intent to impede the Boston Marathon bombing investigation," and he also pleaded guilty to conspiracy with his actions in the days immediately following the bombing. Kadyrbayev was charged with four counts, including obstructing justice and conspiracy for throwing Tsarnaev's backpack into a trash bin after discovering it contained fireworks with gunpowder, and removing a jar of Vaseline and a computer thumb drive. Investigators later recovered the backpack at a landfill. Kadyrbayev also took Tsarnaev's computer to his off-campus apartment, where the FBI later seized it. He is awaiting sentencing. 13th Juror: Fishy case could silence accused bomber's pals . • Azamat Tazhayakov: In July, a jury found Azamat Tazhayakov guilty of obstructing justice and conspiring to obstruct justice in connection with the removal of a backpack with potential evidence from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's dorm room after the bombings. Tazhayakov was another friend of Tsarnaev's and was Kadyrbayev's roommate. Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov are both nationals of Kazakhstan who were temporarily living in the United States on student visas while attending the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. Tazhayakov is expected to appeal. • Robel Phillipos: Robel Phillipos, also a friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's, was convicted in October on two counts of lying to federal agents investigating the 2013 bombing. Prosecutors said Phillipos lied to investigators about being in Tsarnaev's college dorm room at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth after the bombings. Phillipos knew Tsarnaev from high school. According to court documents, Phillipos hadn't seen or talked to Tsarnaev for at least two months before the bombing. Phillipos has filed a motion for judgment of acquittal and new trial.

<s>[INST] (CNN)Here are some of the names you might be hearing about as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev goes on trial in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings: . • 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.

(CNN)Sony Pictures is expanding its "Ghostbusters" movies with Ghost Corps, a collective headed by original "Ghostbusters" director Ivan Reitman and star Dan Aykroyd, that will oversee the expansion of the movie franchise beyond a cinematic universe into television and merchandising. The first order of business will be to develop a new male-oriented "Ghostbusters" that will be released after the much ballyhooed female-centric movie being put together by Paul Feig. The movie, which is to star Kirsten Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, shoots this summer and will be released July 22, 2016. New all-female 'Ghostbusters' cast chosen . Joe and Anthony Russo, the duo behind "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and who signed a first-look deal with Sony last week, are being tapped to produce and direct the new movie.

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is targeting a perfect finish to the season to pile the pressure on Barclays Premier League title contenders Chelsea and Manchester City. 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 . He told the club's official website www.arsenal.com: 'It's nice for the team because we are on a really good run, even if we were disappointed about the Champions League. We want to finish really strongly and finish in the best position by winning every single game. 'There are still eight games to play, so we need to focus on our games and step by step we're going to see. First we need to win every single game and then after we need to see if City or Chelsea miss one of these steps. 'You never know, you have to believe in football and that's why we want to win every single game.' Olivier Giroud gives Arsenal the lead in the 28th minute at Newcastle, latching onto Danny Welbeck's header . The French striker celebrates his first goal of the game with team-mates Gabriel Paulista and Welbeck (right) Giroud holds off his marker to head Arsenal into a two-goal lead just four minutes after opening the scoring . 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. Sissoko points to the sky as he celebrates scoring Newcastle's first Premier League goal since February 28 . Giroud, who now has nine goals in his last nine games in all competitions, salutes Arsenal's travelling fans . Arsenal look dejected during their disappointing performance against Monaco in the Champions League . Wenger said: 'I would say the spirit of the team and the quality of the players, the mental quality of the players - they are outstanding guys and it's a pleasure to see how they behave. It's a credit to the club as well to see that quality on the behavioural front and how much they want to do well. 'We are a stronger team today than we were in September - that's down to the focus of the whole club, of the whole staff and the quality of work the whole staff puts in. 'Let's hope we can go from strength to strength now until the end of the season.' There were positives too for Magpies coach John Carver, who was forced to field a makeshift defence as injury and suspension took their toll, despite the fact that former boss Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace leapfrogged his team as a result of their 2-1 win at Stoke. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger gives out instructions during his side's sixth successive Premier League victory . His concentration swiftly turned to the Wear-Tyne derby on April 5, a game he cannot afford to lose after four successive defeats by Sunderland, whose need is even more pressing as they find themselves entrenched in another fight for top-flight survival. Carver said: 'It's good to put in a good performance just before a derby game and we have already touched on it because our preparation starts now for it and we have got to get focused for it because we have not had a win against them for a while. 'It's very important that we are focused for it, and we will have a normal week. There is no time off this week, we will have a normal week - Monday, Tuesday, off Wednesday, in Thursday, Friday - so our preparation starts now and we know it's a big game.'

Despite flying through the air at high-speeds, researchers have discovered that bats avoid mishaps because they have their own set of ‘traffic rules' when hunting for food. Somerset Daubenton’s 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’s 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’s 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’s 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. These joints are hinged in such a way so that as the rest of the wing flaps, the hand can freely fold and unfold over the arm, much like origami folding, without any actuation. In particular the pin joint connects the arm wing and the hand wing. The arm wing attaches to the body of the robot at the shoulder joint, which initiates the flapping. And the complete wing set has a wingspan of 15.7 inches (40cm) with a length, or chord, of three inches (80 mm). In addition to morphing shape to avoid collisions, the mechanism could also allow future flying robots to easily squeeze between obstacles, such as branches of a tree, and fully recover after accidental hard impacts. The morphing technology was built by experts from Stanford University.

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’s 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. These joints are hinged in such a way so that as the rest of the wing flaps, the hand can freely fold and unfold over the arm, much like origami folding, without any actuation. In particular the pin joint connects the arm wing and the hand wing. The arm wing attaches to the body of the robot at the shoulder joint, which initiates the flapping. And the complete wing set has a wingspan of 15.7 inches (40cm) with a length, or chord, of three inches (80 mm). In addition to morphing shape to avoid collisions, the mechanism could also allow future flying robots to easily squeeze between obstacles, such as branches of a tree, and fully recover after accidental hard impacts. The morphing technology was built by experts from Stanford University. [/INST] Researches studied pairs of Daubenton’s bats in Barrow Gurney, Somerset .

The newest weapon in the breakfast fast-food wars is a buttermilk biscuit shaped like a taco. Taco Bell is launching a Biscuit Taco on Thursday in place of its waffle hybrid, which got widespread attention last year when it was included in the rollout of the chain's breakfast menu. The unusual wrap features fried chicken coated in crushed tortilla chips with either jalapeno honey or country gravy served on the side. Optional extras include sausage, eggs, cheese and bacon. It has between 370 and 470 calories, depending on the fillings, and will cost $2.49 at most restaurants nationwide. Scroll down for video . Novel idea: Taco Bell is launching a 'biscuit taco' this week in place of the 'waffle taco,' which got widespread attention last year when it was included in the rollout of the chain's breakfast menu . Taco Bell CEO, Brian Niccol, told CNBC News that the aim of the breakfast item is to 'make chicken and biscuits portable'. He added that it's 'exciting and tastes great too'. The Biscuit Taco's introduction comes as the chain tries to build on its year-old breakfast business by once again going after the dominant player in the mornings: McDonald's. In a new ad campaign, Taco Bell plans to paint Egg McMuffins as boring, routine food for the brainwashed. In New York and Los Angeles, it is putting up propaganda-like posters for a place called 'Routine Republic,' with one featuring a demonic clown holding what looks like an Egg McMuffin with the words 'Routine Rules.'

Microsoft has confirmed that it is dropping the Internet Explorer brand. 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. ‘We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser which is code named Project Spartan. We have to name the thing,’ 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 ‘worst tech products of all time’ 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 ‘Microsoft’ in front of the secret name boosted the browser’s appeal to some Chrome users in the UK, suggesting the company’s 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. 'However, if my sources are right, Spartan is not IE 12. 'Instead, Spartan is a new, light-weight browser Microsoft is building.' It is believed Windows 10 will ship with both Spartan and IE 11 to ensure compatibility with all web sites. Microsoft has not publicly set a firm timetable for the release of Windows. 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, but since then it has gained a lacklustre reputation.

The firm announced the latest version of its Windows operating system, called Windows 10, at an event in San Francisco. It admitted the software was 'at a threshold' after the poorly received Windows 8. Terry Myerson, Microsoft's Windows chief said: 'There's about one and a half billion people using Windows today.

Microsoft said its new operating system will run on the 'broadest types of devices ever' and will see various app stores merged into one platform, called the One Store. Last year, Terry Myerson, Microsoft's Windows chief, explained how Windows 10 will work on everything from a desktop computer to a smartphone - and even the firm's XBox One games console . The new software will also allow users on hybrid devices like the Surface Pro tablet to jump between and keyboard and touchscreen modes (pictured) The new Start Menu has the traditional list layout of previous versions of the interface, combined with the tile set-up that Microsoft introduced in Windows 8. Mr Belfiore demonstrated how the new tiles in the new menu can be personalised and re-sized. This will cover all of the company's smartphones, tablets and desktop computers. Myerson said Windows 10 will be 'a whole new generation' and, as expected, works across a variety of devices - from phones to gaming consoles. It also sees the return of the Start Menu, which had been removed from Windows 8 to many users' annoyance. In addition to offering a list of a user's favourite applications, the menu brings up re-sizable tiles - similar to those featured in Windows 8's touch-centric interface - on PCs and tablets. The current version, Windows 8, has been widely derided for forcing radical behavioral changes. Microsoft is restoring some of the more traditional ways of doing things and promises that Windows 10 will be familiar for users regardless of which version of Windows they are now using. 'Windows 10 will deliver the right experience, at the right time. 'Windows 10 will be our most comprehensive platform, ever,' said Mr Myerson. 'We're delivering one application platform. One store, one way for applications to be discovered, purchased, and updated across all of these devices.' The firm announced the latest version of its Windows operating system, called Windows 10, at an event in San Francisco in December. It will run on tablets, phones , desktop computers and even the firm's Xbox games console - and come with a yet-to-be-named browser . Industry experts have been having their say on Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 10, which was announced at an event in California in December 2014. Many see the upgrade as being the first steps towards righting the unpopular changes made in the company's previous desktop software, Windows 8, and that is reflected in industry reaction. Stuart Miles, founder of technology website Pocket Lint said: 'The initial reaction is that Microsoft had introduced some really good features that will appeal to many and fix many of the annoyances of Windows 8. 'It looks like they are doing everything they can to make amends for the mistakes of Windows 8, but with a long lead time and many unanswered questions like release and price, there is still much left to learn. 'That said it looks to be a good move from the Redmond based company and one that will benefit many.' Geoff Blaber of technology analysts CCS Insights also noted the need for Microsoft to regain support after Windows 8. 'Windows 10 is the product of a difficult Windows 8 launch and a process of refinement based on vocal user feedback. Microsoft will hope that this marks a fresh start that will convince developers, enterprise and consumers of its One Windows strategy', he said. 'With Windows 10 Microsoft has re-evaluated its approach to software releases by adopting a web mentality that dovetails with the Cloud first, mobile first vision under Satya Nadella. This open, collaborative approach is critical if Microsoft is to overcome the wave of negative sentiment that has plagued Windows 8 since launch. 'The unveiling of Windows 10 is notable for its emphasis on enterprise. This dialling up of corporate versus consumer functionality is much needed not least because enterprise replacements are driving PC market growth. 'Developers are the lifeblood of any platform so it is critical that Microsoft's 'One Windows' mantra delvers on the promise and re-energises developer engagement.'

Across desktop PCs as a whole, only 13.4 per cent currently run Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, according to research firm NetMarketshare. By contrast, it says 51.2 per cent are powered by Windows 7 and 23.9 per cent by Windows XP, a version that is no longer supported by Microsoft. The start menu in Windows 10 will appear similar to what's found in Windows 7, but tiles opening to the side will resemble what's found in Windows 8. Joe Belfiore, a Microsoft executive who oversees Windows design and evolution, said Windows 10 will offer 'the familiarity of Windows 7 with some of the benefits that exist in Windows 8' to help business users make the transition. Belfiore said that the company was going 'back to basics' with Windows 10, and confirmed that the famous Start menu, which was removed from Windows 8, would be returning. 'We're looking to find the balance, so that all the Windows 7 users get a familiar experience on the devices they already have,' he said. 'It gives the familiarity of Windows 7 with some of the elements of Windows 8.' He said that going from Windows 8 to Windows 10 is like going from a Prius to a Tesla. 'They don't have to learn any new way to drive.' Mr Belfiore also confirmed that Windows 10 would be compatible with both traditional and touch-based device users like tablets through a new task view with buttons scaled up so that they're more friendly to those on touchscreen devices. Users on hybrid devices like the Surface Pro tablet will be able to jump between and keyboard and touchscreen modes, with Microsoft demonstrating how the interface will change as you do. Although the new software won't be formally released until later this year, analysts have already said that its success is crucial for Microsoft and new CEO Satya Nadella.

<s>[INST] Microsoft has confirmed that it is dropping the Internet Explorer brand. 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. ‘We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser which is code named Project Spartan. We have to name the thing,’ 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 ‘worst tech products of all time’ 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 ‘Microsoft’ in front of the secret name boosted the browser’s appeal to some Chrome users in the UK, suggesting the company’s 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. 'However, if my sources are right, Spartan is not IE 12. 'Instead, Spartan is a new, light-weight browser Microsoft is building.' It is believed Windows 10 will ship with both Spartan and IE 11 to ensure compatibility with all web sites. Microsoft has not publicly set a firm timetable for the release of Windows. 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, but since then it has gained a lacklustre reputation.

A holiday resort in Thailand has come under fire after it posted a picture online of drunken guests riding an elephant around its swimming pool . Nikki Beach Resort in Phuket published the picture along with a caption that stated it was ‘amazing Sunday brunch’ People were enraged such a young elephant had been brought onto the property so that guests could ride it for fun, and that guests were more than willing to take part. The resort quickly deleted the photo, and released a statement to address the controversy. 'We would like to make it clear that we do not, have not and will never own an elephant,' the statement read. 'The elephant in the photo is from a reputable elephant caretaker who has no affiliation with Nikki Beach. The resort is located about 30 minutes away from the tourist hot-spot of Patong . 'Elephants are a highly respected and regarded symbol of Thailand. As a global company, Nikki Beach respects every country’s culture and traditions and as such, we fall into the normal behaviors in usage of elephants to represent their culture. 'We never intended to be disrespectful.' The statement did little to calm the stampeding herd of online protesters, and the anger spilled onto the resort's TripAdvisor page. However, TripAdvisor deleted negative reviews based on the elephant incident.

Vani Hari has become known as the 'Food Babe' and has built a loyal following of her food blog, where she calls multi-national companies into account . 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 . Yale neurologist Steve Novella has labelled her 'the Jenny McCarthy of food activism.' Dr Marion Nestle, of Yale University said that her mistakes were giving the industry a bad name - citing her confusion over ingredients that are used in beer and antifreeze. Nestle told the New York Post: 'She's making scientific judgments of these chemicals that may or may not be valid or may or may not be meaningful.' Throughout her book Hari stresses that chemicals are frequently added to food to improve profit margins rather than nutrition. She writes about her other successes, which include lobbying Chick-fil-a to remove dyes and artificial corn syrup from its products, Arts Atlanta reported.

Diafra Sakho has had no trouble finding the net for West Ham this season, and that continued on the Hammers' mid-season break to Dubai. Unfortunately for the Senegalese striker, it was on the tennis court as he took some time away from the sport he knows best. West Ham fans will be relieved to find that Sakho is unlikely to quit his day job for a place on the ATP World Tour any time soon... that's if his Instagram video is anything to go by. Diafra Sakho takes on Chelsea's Gary Cahill during West Ham's last Premier League game, on Wednesday . The east London side have headed to warmer climes to enjoy their week off from Premier League action as attention turns to the FA Cup. Sam Allardyce's men were knocked out by West Brom in the fifth round, and will not take to the field again until they face Arsenal next weekend. While the Southampton squad headed to the slopes in snowy Switzerland, West Ham opted for something warmer; the 30 degree heat of the United Arab Emirates. Sakho has scored 11 goals for the Hammers so far this season; nine of which in the Premier League, and he and his team-mates have now been rewarded for their hard work with a trip abroad. On West Ham's mid-season break to Dubai, Sakho took to the tennis court in the Dubai sunshine . Sakho did not seem as comfortable on the tennis court as he does for West Ham on the football pitch . West Ham assistant manager Neil McDonald told the club's official website: 'Since the start of December it's been full on and we're only just coming up for air at the start of March.

<s>[INST] Diafra Sakho has had no trouble finding the net for West Ham this season, and that continued on the Hammers' mid-season break to Dubai. Unfortunately for the Senegalese striker, it was on the tennis court as he took some time away from the sport he knows best. West Ham fans will be relieved to find that Sakho is unlikely to quit his day job for a place on the ATP World Tour any time soon... that's if his Instagram video is anything to go by. Diafra Sakho takes on Chelsea's Gary Cahill during West Ham's last Premier League game, on Wednesday . The east London side have headed to warmer climes to enjoy their week off from Premier League action as attention turns to the FA Cup. Sam Allardyce's men were knocked out by West Brom in the fifth round, and will not take to the field again until they face Arsenal next weekend. While the Southampton squad headed to the slopes in snowy Switzerland, West Ham opted for something warmer; the 30 degree heat of the United Arab Emirates. Sakho has scored 11 goals for the Hammers so far this season; nine of which in the Premier League, and he and his team-mates have now been rewarded for their hard work with a trip abroad. On West Ham's mid-season break to Dubai, Sakho took to the tennis court in the Dubai sunshine . Sakho did not seem as comfortable on the tennis court as he does for West Ham on the football pitch . West Ham assistant manager Neil McDonald told the club's official website: 'Since the start of December it's been full on and we're only just coming up for air at the start of March. 'It's been a tough couple of months but what we normally do is go away so the lads can get a bit of sun on their backs.

This week, China presented its toughest and bravest women to the world. The country's first ever female SWAT team, known as 'Snow Eagle', was unveiled on Wednesday in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in western China, according to the People's Daily Online. The crack team of female soldiers has been trained by the Chinese border police before they were picked to form the specially-created division. Scroll down for video . Snow Eagle: China's first female SWAT team was formed this week, consisting of 34 members . 'To pull out the gun, I only need 0.3 seconds and then make the first shot in another 0.3 seconds,' said Liu Siqi, who is the team's top marksman and has served in the border police for four years. Miss Liu said the shooting skill is the result of continuous training for at least six hours every day all through the year. She has already fired over 10,000 shots during three years of training. Taking aim: The Team's top marksman can pull out a gun and shoot down the target in 0.6 seconds . Climbing higher: The members demonstrated a series of combat during the inauguration ceremony . 'When I had really good shooting scores, sometimes full scores, I would be so thrilled,' said another member, Mi Xue. 'I would take the target sheet back to my dorm and pin it on the wall. I would smile whenever I see it.' The 34 members all sport the same 'basin' haircut and wear bright-red berets, which has earned them the nickname 'Little Red Caps'. Intense training: Members have gone through continuous training on shooting for at least six hours every day . Special force: The team is set to be tasked with responding to any emergency situations in times of possible future terror attacks . During their inauguration ceremony this week, the women demonstrated a series of combat and shooting skills. They also showed a softer side and performed music to the media with a zither and ukulele after training. According to Chinese media, the team will conduct further training camps and be tasked with responding to any emergency situations including terror attacks. 'Snow Eagle' is based in China's troubled far west region, Xinjiang, where ethnic conflicts between Uyghur and Han have caused unrest in the past. Zhang Chunxian, the Communist Party Secretary of the autonomous region, confirmed this week there have been individuals from Xinjiang travelling to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS, reported the People's Daily Online. The provincial capital Urumqi witnessed a major riot in July 2009, which involved at least 1,000 Uyghurs and left 197 dead, according to Chinese media. Border guarding: These female soldiers are stationed in western China where ethnic conflicts are a source of unrest .

Military chiefs should resign over defence cuts before British troops become America’s ‘cannon fodder’, politicians and former top brass warned last night. Tory MP Colonel Bob Stewart, a member of the defence select committee, called for the Joint Chiefs to sacrifice their careers over plans to slash defence spending despite growing threats from Russia and Islamic State. Speaking at a meeting of the UK National Defence Association (UKNDA), he said the generals should make the people they command their priority and resign on principle, instead of focusing their efforts on ‘getting another star’. Colonel Bob Stewart, a former British commander in Bosnia, said Britain's military forces were in a 'parlous state' and could not take any further cuts . Later he said he was considering resigning himself, from either his seat or the select committee, adding: ‘I’m thinking about it to be honest – but that won’t make any difference.’ His comments came as it emerged more than 6,000 British troops are preparing to deploy under the command of an American unit as part of a high readiness reaction force. Fresh details emerged of future military operations after the head of the US army, General Raymond Odierno, said he was ‘very concerned’ about UK defence cuts. He told the Telegraph Britain will be demoted to a more junior role in future campaigns if spending is inadequate. David Cameron has resisted calls to make a public pledge not to cut military spending below 2 per cent - but had insisted he will not cut the size of the army any further . Former defence secretary Liam Fox has urged the Government not to cut military spending below 2 per cent . And yesterday, Sir Michael Graydon, former head of the RAF, said the idea of a UK brigade working under a 20,000-strong US division was ‘humiliating’. Air Commodore Andrew Lambert added: ‘The trouble with this is you provide the man power but with none of the authority. Why should we provide the man power – some people might call it cannon fodder – when what we would like to do is have a seat at the top table?’ During the meeting, former military top brass put pressure on the Government to commit Britain to meeting the Nato target of spending at least 2 per cent of national income on defence beyond 2016 – a prospect which looks unlikely. In a blistering attack on UK military spending – which has diminished as Russia’s defence capabilities increase – Sir Michael added: ‘It is token already and if we start cutting it any more it becomes laughable.’ Colonel Stewart, who commanded UN forces in Bosnia, said: ‘If we are really [in] a parlous state in defence, why are the Joint Chiefs of Staff not tendering their resignations? ‘They should actually put their responsibilities to the people who they command as their top priority, rather than getting another star.’ A damning report published by the UKNDA said that if Britain is forced into a conflict with Russia, our force levels are ‘pitifully small’ compared to those at the end of the Cold War. An MoD spokesman said: ‘We will meet the 2 per cent Nato spending target this year and next and have also committed to spending £163billion on equipment and equipment support to keep Britain safe.’ General Raymond Odierno, the Chief of Staff of the US army, last week warned he was 'very concerned' about the scale of the Coalition's military cuts .

Aston Villa Tim Sherwood spoke exclusively to Sportsmail's Chief Sports Writer Martin Samuel this week, covering all topics from touchline antics to his spell with Tottenham. Here are the top 10 quotes from that brilliant interview. Aston Villa spoke to Sportsmail's Chief Sports Writer Martin Samuel in an exclusive interview this week . Sherwood on his leadership qualities . ‘I think I can be a leader of men, but you’re not born with that attitude. In the maternity ward, it’s not girls, boys and natural leaders. You have to become that.’ Sherwood on his touchline antics and emotional nature . 'I could try acting. I could sit down and make little notes and everyone would say I’ve matured. But I know that’s impossible. I can’t imagine being any different 500 games in. People thought I would calm down as a player, but I didn’t. The day I retired I was the same lunatic that made his debut for Watford in 1987. I can’t believe the other managers are not as emotionally involved as I am, either. I think they’re all like me inside. Sherwood says he can't believe other managers are not as emotionally involved as he is . Sherwood on his Aston Villa side . ‘We’re like Everton. I don’t think we’ve got a group of players who are cut out for a relegation battle. We can’t be the Crystal Palace of last year, or the West Brom of this year. Digging in, blood and thunder, lump the ball in, protecting a lead, that’s not us. Our squad is better on the ball, they’re more suited to pushing for a place in the Europa League. Sherwood on his players stepping up . ‘The players have a duty, a responsibility to fix this mess. I don’t want to hear crap about how difficult it is to play at home. Playing for a big club comes with pressure. Anyone can do it for a lesser team — but you have to have b******s to play for Aston Villa. This is a big club. 'Aston Villa are like Everton... they're not a group of players who are cut out for a relegation battle' Sherwood on not listening to criticism . ‘When I was at Blackburn there were times when it was difficult. My name would be read out and there were a few groans. I didn’t care. I’d sometimes tell David Batty, “I’ll give it away more times than you’ll get it this afternoon.” Sherwood on Nabil Bentaleb . ‘I’d watched him in training. Every day was like his last on earth. He would cry if he lost a five-a-side. He played and never looked back. Sherwood says he loved the way Nabil Bentaleb 'played and never looked back' last season at Tottenham . Sherwood on telling Redknapp to take Bale off in the San Siro . ‘Harry’s going mad. “Get f****** Gareth off?” he says. “He’s the only f****** chance we’ve got.” He keeps him on, he scores a hat-trick, gets us back to 4-3 and if it goes another 10 minutes, we win. The kid’s career springboards from that performance. Sherwood on playing with passion . ‘The coaches used to call me Tackler Tim, or some rubbish. One day, I put one in and he said to Graham Taylor, “Why’s he keep doing that?” I’ve never forgotten his answer. “Brian, you know that shirt you wear on Saturday?” he said. “That’s the shirt he wants.” He was right, too. Take a player like Jack Grealish. I’ve had lots of chats with Jack. He knows what I think. I tell him: “I will take desire over ability every day”. Obviously, the ability can’t be too low. But if you have the ability — and he has — you’ll make it if you have desire. Sherwood says you must have the desire and talent to make it at the top these days . The young manager was appointed last month to attempt to save Aston Villa's season . Sherwood on managing players . ‘So I didn’t come in here all guns blazing or wanting to be their headmaster. You can’t get personal these days, get your hair cut, and all that nonsense. You’ve got to move with the times. I left the stick at home, and the tickling brush. Now I feel I know them a bit better. Some get a whack, others a tickle. Sherwood on Tottenham . ‘I don’t want to be scrapping around; I want to take them forward. I think I did that at Tottenham. I didn’t leave a crumbling house — Mauricio Pochettino has done a good job, but he had it laid out for him, with players like Kane and Bentaleb.

Medical student Lena Mamoun Abdelgadir (above), who has travelled to Syria to treat Jihadi fighters, once praised the Charlie Hebdo murders . A British medical student who travelled to Syria to treat Jihadi fighters in Islamic State hospitals once praised the Charlie Hebdo murders, it emerged last night. Private schoolgirl Lena Mamoun Abdelgadir sent a smiling selfie to her sister as she crossed the border from Turkey on March 13 to reach Islamic State territory. The respected surgeon’s daughter is one of nine British doctors and students in their late teens or early 20s who are now believed to be volunteering in hospitals there. Their families have all flocked to the border in a desperate attempt to bring their children home, saying that they had been ‘cheated, brainwashed’ by IS militants. Yesterday, their parents issued a joint statement claiming that their children had travelled to the border to take part in ‘humanitarian’ work and had ‘excellent moral capabilities’. But posts on what is believed to be Miss Abdelgadir’s Twitter account suggest that her views are less than moral and that she has indeed gone to work with IS. She once retweeted: ‘The pictures that the 2 journalists produced on Islam and prophet Muhammed (saw) was more horrific then their killing.’ On the account, @Lenaalinglingg, she also called for Sharia law, retweeted a statement that homosexuality is a disease and criticised terror arrests, calling them ‘silly’. The private schoolgirl condemned Muslims who joined the ‘not in my name’ campaign which rejects IS and Muslims who wore poppy headscarves to mark Remembrance Day. She also once retweeted: ‘Fighting is not violence. Violence is tyranny, oppression, suppression & injustice. Only thru FIGHTING can we get OUT of VIOLENCE. #peace.’ Yesterday, it emerged that she is an ‘incredibly bright’ schoolgirl who attended Wisbech Grammar School in Cambridgeshire where fees are £12,000 a year. The students’ parents believe that they have gone to Turkey to offer ‘voluntary medical help’ to Syrian refugees on the border. They did, however, acknowledge that their children were missing and, when asked whether they thought their children might have joined IS, one father replied ‘we don’t know’. ‘Our sons and daughters have always been participating in humanitarian and good cause social work,’ the statement from the families said. ‘They have come to Turkey willingly to offer voluntary medical help to those refugees who are in need of medical care on Turkey’s borders.’ The nine medics have been named as Mohammed Wael Fadlallah, Tasneem Suliman, Ismail Hamdoun, Nada Sami Kader, Mohammed Elbadri Ibrahim, Rawan Kamal Zine El Abidine, Tamir Ahmed Abusibah, Lena Mamoun Abdelgadir and Sami Ahmed Kadir. Nine British medical students have travelled to Syria to work in hospitals in Islamic State-held areas. Pictured from left to right: Hisham Mohammed Fadlallah, Lena Maumoon Abdulqadir and Tamer Ahmed Ebu Sebah . The four women and five men apparently kept their plans secret from their families and fled to Syria from a medical base in Sudan. Left to right: Rowan Kamal Zine El Abidine, Sami Ahmed Kadir and Ismail Hamadoun . The medical students are believed to now be in the ISIS-held area of Tel Abyad, according to a Turkish politician. From left to right: Nada Sami Kader, Mohamed Osama Badri Mohammed and Tasneem Suleyman . Yesterday, Chris Staley, head of Wisbech Grammar in Cambridgeshire, said Miss Abdelgadir, was ‘furiously bright’, ‘very normal’ and a ‘very focused young lady’. He described her as a popular, typical pupil who had represented the school in sports including hockey, had got 7 A*s and was a member of the student council. ‘She was an incredibly bright and focused young lady who was clearly destined for great things on the medical or scientific side,’ he said. The pupil, from King’s Lynn in Norfolk, spent nine years she spent at the Cambridgeshire school before studying medicine at Khartoum’s private University of Medical Sciences and Technology. Her parents sent her to Sudan to study so that she could reconnect with her Islamic roots. Instead, however, they fear she has been radicalised. On March 12, just before she crossed the border, she sent a smiling photo and the message: ‘Don’t worry, we’ve reached Turkey and are on our way to volunteer helping wounded Syrian people.’ Schoolgirls Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15, (pictured at Gatwick airport) fled to Turkey before crossing the border into Syria where they are believed to have become ISIS jihadi brides . Her father, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn, Norfolk, where the family live, immediately flew to Turkey to find her. He previously said: ‘We have decided not to return home unless we go with them. We sent out children to study [in Sudan] so that they would be surrounded by their culture. ‘But their decision to go to Syria has been a shock for all of us.’ Mehmet Ali Ediboglu, a Turkish opposition politician helping the families, said the medics were believed to be in Tel Abyad, which is under IS control. He told The Observer: ‘The conflict out there is fierce, so medical help must be needed. They have been cheated, brainwashed. That is what I, and their relatives, think.’ A spokeswoman for Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust said: ‘Our thoughts are with Mr Abdel-Gadir and his family at this difficult time.’ The Foreign Office said it was giving consular assistance to the families of seven Britons.

Only thru FIGHTING can we get OUT of VIOLENCE. #peace.’ Yesterday, it emerged that she is an ‘incredibly bright’ schoolgirl who attended Wisbech Grammar School in Cambridgeshire where fees are £12,000 a year. The students’ parents believe that they have gone to Turkey to offer ‘voluntary medical help’ to Syrian refugees on the border. They did, however, acknowledge that their children were missing and, when asked whether they thought their children might have joined IS, one father replied ‘we don’t know’. ‘Our sons and daughters have always been participating in humanitarian and good cause social work,’ the statement from the families said. ‘They have come to Turkey willingly to offer voluntary medical help to those refugees who are in need of medical care on Turkey’s borders.’ The nine medics have been named as Mohammed Wael Fadlallah, Tasneem Suliman, Ismail Hamdoun, Nada Sami Kader, Mohammed Elbadri Ibrahim, Rawan Kamal Zine El Abidine, Tamir Ahmed Abusibah, Lena Mamoun Abdelgadir and Sami Ahmed Kadir. Nine British medical students have travelled to Syria to work in hospitals in Islamic State-held areas.

The four women and five men apparently kept their plans secret from their families and fled to Syria from a medical base in Sudan. Left to right: Rowan Kamal Zine El Abidine, Sami Ahmed Kadir and Ismail Hamadoun . The medical students are believed to now be in the ISIS-held area of Tel Abyad, according to a Turkish politician. From left to right: Nada Sami Kader, Mohamed Osama Badri Mohammed and Tasneem Suleyman . Yesterday, Chris Staley, head of Wisbech Grammar in Cambridgeshire, said Miss Abdelgadir, was ‘furiously bright’, ‘very normal’ and a ‘very focused young lady’. He described her as a popular, typical pupil who had represented the school in sports including hockey, had got 7 A*s and was a member of the student council. ‘She was an incredibly bright and focused young lady who was clearly destined for great things on the medical or scientific side,’ he said. The pupil, from King’s Lynn in Norfolk, spent nine years she spent at the Cambridgeshire school before studying medicine at Khartoum’s private University of Medical Sciences and Technology. Her parents sent her to Sudan to study so that she could reconnect with her Islamic roots. Instead, however, they fear she has been radicalised. On March 12, just before she crossed the border, she sent a smiling photo and the message: ‘Don’t worry, we’ve reached Turkey and are on our way to volunteer helping wounded Syrian people.’ Schoolgirls Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15, (pictured at Gatwick airport) fled to Turkey before crossing the border into Syria where they are believed to have become ISIS jihadi brides . Her father, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn, Norfolk, where the family live, immediately flew to Turkey to find her. He previously said: ‘We have decided not to return home unless we go with them. We sent out children to study [in Sudan] so that they would be surrounded by their culture. ‘But their decision to go to Syria has been a shock for all of us.’ Mehmet Ali Ediboglu, a Turkish opposition politician helping the families, said the medics were believed to be in Tel Abyad, which is under IS control. He told The Observer: ‘The conflict out there is fierce, so medical help must be needed. They have been cheated, brainwashed. That is what I, and their relatives, think.’ A spokeswoman for Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust said: ‘Our thoughts are with Mr Abdel-Gadir and his family at this difficult time.’ The Foreign Office said it was giving consular assistance to the families of seven Britons.

The emotion of gaining a career breakthrough and striking a blow for the less gilded outfits at Cheltenham proved too much for Warren Greatrex. The unsung 40-year-old trainer was unable to blink back the tears behind his spectacles after Cole Harden had provided him with a first Festival winner, and in the biggest race of the day, the World Hurdle. It was a victory for an emerging trainer, ridden by his freshman jockey Gavin Sheehan on a 14-1 horse owned by former customs and excise investigator Robin Eynon and his wife Jill from Winchester.

Suddenly the winners’ enclosure looked less the preserve of the fabulously wealthy and the heavyweights of the industry they employ. There was incredulity among the victorious names that they had elevated themselves to the kind of company more regularly associated with names like McManus, Mullins and McCoy. Cole Harden had struck out for the front from the off and stayed there for three miles, winning by three-and-a-quarter lengths. ‘If you’re going to break your duck you may as well make it a big one. Anyone that knows me will tell you I can talk all day long but I’m stuck for words,’ said Greatrex, who eventually managed to articulate his achievement. ‘I’m small, I’m a youngster at this. I’ve got nine runners here, we’re breaking through — we’re trying to compete with the big guys and hopefully this will help. We’ve beaten the best.

His faith in Cole Harden was tested when, after a win at Wetherby in November, he struggled in the January’s Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham and so, less than two months ago, was sent for an operation. ‘I was struggling with him early season, having trouble with his wind, but then he won at Wetherby.

Cole Harden is one of two horses he owns, along with a half-share in Paint The Clouds, running in today’s Foxhunter’s Chase. He is the kind of enthusiast who makes a pilgrimage to Cheltenham at least once a year, regardless of whether he has a horse running or not. ‘We’ve had horses since 1996 and this is the best day we’ve had so far,’ he said. ‘We’ve been lucky, every horse we’ve had has done quite well. I’ve forgotten how much we spent on Cole Harden, it wasn’t much; we don’t spend a lot on horses. ‘I’ve been retired a few years but I worked for many years as an investigator for Customs and Excise in London, in a department that doesn’t exist anymore because Gordon Brown closed it. ‘When you get something like this it’s really special. We always come to Cheltenham once a year and if they got rid of the traffic we’d be here every time.’ While Cole Harden’s victory provided the romance, the powerhouse yard of Willie Mullins notched his sixth winner of the meeting after Vautour destroyed the field in the earlier JLT Novices’ Chase. Ruby Walsh and Vautour romp home to leave trainer Willie Mullins dreaming of next year's Gold Cup . The Irish trainer, now just one short of Nicky Henderson’s record of winners for the meeting, could scarcely contain his excitement about the 6-4 favourite’s potential, which could exceed that of Faugheen ‘The Machine’. ‘This is the real machine,’ said Mullins. ‘He is a Gold Cup horse.’ Jockey Ruby Walsh was equally effusive after his 15-length victory. ‘He jumped like a gazelle and quickened up so impressively off the bend, it was flawless,’ he said. ‘The horses behind are very good and he ran them ragged.’

For most of us sticking to a diet plan, the likes of Bolognese and spaghetti carbonara are strictly off limits. But thanks to a new kitchen gadget which transforms everyday fruit and vegetable into low-calorie ‘pasta’ dishes, this has all changed. Sales of the spiralizer - a cutting device that creates nutritious, low-carb pasta and noodle-like ribbons from fruit and vegetables - have spiralled through the roof. Amazon has seen a 1,400 per cent year on year jump in sales of the device, while shops such as Aldi are facing an increase in sales of courgettes and carrots due to the popularity of the product. Kitchen magic: The spiralizer turns fruit and vegetables into noodles in less time than it takes to peel a spud . Championed by trendy health-food chefs such as Deliciously Ella and the Helmsley sisters, the gadget enables health-lovers to integrate guilt-free hearty 'pasta' and 'noodle' dishes into their diet. Ella Woodward — otherwise known as 23-year-old foodie Deliciously Ella — is an advocate of courgetti – ribbons of courgette boiled and used as a pasta substitute. Miss Woodward – who can be seen eating courgetti on the cover of one of her cookbooks - recently wrote on her blog: ‘Courgette pasta itself is just incredible, so quick and easy to make. ‘It really does taste like spaghetti too, especially if you cook it for a few minutes which softens it. ‘I use this machine [spiralizer] to make my pasta and it is amazing, very small, light and inexpensive. 'It also slices numerous other fruit and veg in countless ways. A really perfect tool for anyone looking for new healthy alternatives.’ In the latest move from carbohydrates and wheat, the spiralizer can make dishes from various boiled fruit and vegetables including potatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, onions, celery, radish, beetroot, apples and pears. The product took America by storm last year and sales suggest the same is taking place in the UK. An Amazon spokesperson said: ‘Spiralizers are a great way to get more vegetables in your diet. ‘Courgettes transformed into “courgette” seems to be very popular, but customer reviews tell us that the nation has also been experimenting with sweet potato ribbon crisps and even carrot ramen noodles.’ At Aldi, carrot sales are up 23 per cent year on year, while courgettes have risen 34 per cent. The supermarket says the reason behind this is the new trend for health-conscious consumers to turn vegetable into ribbons. An Aldi spokesperson said: ‘By buying veg for spiralizing at Aldi, shoppers are making the most of our everyday low prices, while buying the other ingredients they need to make fantastic, and healthy, meals at home. ‘Customers are able to experiment with a variety of quality fresh fruit and vegetables, available in store as part of Aldi’s extensive fresh produce offering.’ Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley, otherwise known as female food duo Hemsley + Hemsley, have launched their own spiralizing machine. The pair, who run a blog and a bespoke food delivery service, include various spiralize recipes in their cookbook The Art of Eating Well, including beef ragu courgetti and sesame chicken salad with cucumber noodles. Spiralizers retail at between £14.99 and £46.99.

Captain of St Mirren at 17 the course of Tony Fitzpatrick’s life altered on a January morning in 1983. The day he lost his six-year-old son. 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. “I have always believed in God" reflects Fitzpatrick, sipping fizzy water in a coffee shop in Glasgow's west end. “But what happened to little Tony made me angry. I wondered how something like that could happen. Tony Fitzpatrick wants his book to serve as a legacy for the six-year-old son he lost to leukaemia . “It challenged my faith for a wee spell. It challenged how I felt. “There was anger, bitterness, every emotion you might associate with bereavement. “I just couldn’t understand why God had done it. Even to this day I still ask myself the question.” He sought refuge and answers in writing. Scribbled notes on his experiences and emotions became a habit. The outcome of his jottings is ‘The Promise, Together Again’, the 59-year-old’s first book. It features the adventures of Babakoochi Bear, the pet name he used for the son lost 32 years ago. The memories are undimmed by the passage of time. He remembers the awful weather most. Through the grey clouds and rain enveloping Glasgow’s Hospital for Sick Children he grasped for a silver lining. “I always remember my wife and I coming out to the car park after Tony died and there being most stunning rainbow I had ever seen. “Maybe I was looking for something. 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. Rationalising what kind of kind of God might take the life of an innocent six-year-old child proved impossible. An uneasy, restless peace descended slowly. “Listen, after a time faith became a great comfort again. You don’t know where it comes from. But when you are in despair your beliefs offer you peace and help when you need it most. “But was that challenged for a time? Yes. Yes, it was. They say time is a healer. You hear that all the time. And it probably is to some degree. “But when you lose a child you never ever get over it. “You learn to live with it. But that’s all. “Tony died in 1983. But every day he is with me in my life. “I feel him all the time in the room. “I can sit with my eyes closed in a quiet space and I don’t see him. But I take comfort from the fact I feel he is there. “It never gets any easier. There are times all these years on when I still break down for no reason.” Former St Mirren captain Fitzpatrick (right) in action for his club against Celtic . When religion was no comfort for his loss, professional football filled the void. Fitzpatrick was just 24 when his child’s illness was diagnosed and 26 when he died. In the course of two and a half years maturity was thrust upon his shoulders in brutal fashion. “I had been very, very selfish,” he reflects now. “What the illness of my son did was make me realise there were things in life more important than football. “For 90 minutes you would play and then as soon as the game was over it was ‘right, I have to get to the hospital.’ “Ach, I still played after he died. But something was missing.” His career, until then, had been on an upward trajectory. He started under Sir Alex Ferguson at Love Street, appointed skipper as a teenager, before a move to Bristol City, where Roy Hodgson was the manager . He returned to Paisley after two years, flirting with a Scotland cap and winning a Scottish Cup winners’ medal in 1987. Fitzpatrick managed St Mirren twice and remains a respected, likable figure in Scottish football. His 642 appearances for St Mirren make him a club icon, yet grief took a yard from his legs. “I always tried my best. I played in a good St Mirren team with guys like McAvennie, Frank McDougal and Peter Weir – really good players. “We had good teams, we were in Europe and we won a Scottish Cup. “But I had always had a deep desire to be the best player I could be. When Tony took ill it wasn’t the same. “I remember beating Celtic 3-1 and things were going great. It was looking good. And then ‘bang.’ “He had been unwell for a couple of weeks. One night he was really bad and I came down for training the next morning and saw he wasn’t right. “I went back to the doctor and told him Tony had purple spots. That’s when the alarm bells rung. “Within minutes of taking him in we were sent to Yorkhill Sick Kids’ hospital. “He had septicaemia, meningitis and then they found the leukaemia. His prospects were awful. “We spent all our time in Yorkhill. We slept there. “In the course of two and a half years we had Tony at home for no more than three months.” Tuesdays and Thursdays were spent donating blood to improve the quality of his son’s remaining days. With Elizabeth went on to have another boy and a set of twins before the couple went their separate ways. A product of the West of Scotland before counselling became the fashiom, however, Fitzpatrick found it difficult to express himself beyond the football pitch. He wasn't the only one. “I remember when little Tony died that neighbours and friends didn’t know what to say to us. “They would cross the road because they couldn’t deal with it. “I was very conscious of it and later they would explain they didn’t want to cry or break down. “My daughter was nine when it all happened and I regret that I couldn’t express my feelings to her either. “The little soul was left to cope because I couldn’t speak about it. “It occurred to me then that a book might be a way of breaking down the barrier.” Babakoochi Bear, the star of ‘The Promise, Together Again’, dedicates himself to pursuing peace on earth while adressing the themes of grief, loss and the rainbow which appeared over Yorkhill in January 83.. Fitzpatrick concedes that writing was also a form of catharsis. His way of finding some inner peace. “People feel their grief in different ways,” he admits. “I’m not educated in any way, but I started to jot down ideas about Babakoochi Bear and that developed. “I waited a long time – but this was the right time. I had a huge urge to do it.” An initial print run of 1000 books, with professional illustrations, cost money and when it sells out Fitzpatrick will use the funds to print more. Further stories of Babakoochi Bear’s travails bulge from notebooks in his Glasgow home and the Waterstones branch closest to Paisley have agreed to stock the book aimed at 7-11 year olds. “I did it for Tony,” explains Fitzpatrick. “Listen, he was a normal wee boy – he could be a wee nightmare at times like any child. “But he made a big impact on a lot of people in a short time. And more than anything I want this book to serve as his legacy.” ‘The Promise; Together Again’ by Tony Fitzpatrick is available from www.babakoochibear.com .

When Tony took ill it wasn’t the same. “I remember beating Celtic 3-1 and things were going great. It was looking good. And then ‘bang.’ “He had been unwell for a couple of weeks. One night he was really bad and I came down for training the next morning and saw he wasn’t right. “I went back to the doctor and told him Tony had purple spots. That’s when the alarm bells rung. “Within minutes of taking him in we were sent to Yorkhill Sick Kids’ hospital. “He had septicaemia, meningitis and then they found the leukaemia. His prospects were awful. “We spent all our time in Yorkhill. We slept there. “In the course of two and a half years we had Tony at home for no more than three months.” Tuesdays and Thursdays were spent donating blood to improve the quality of his son’s remaining days. With Elizabeth went on to have another boy and a set of twins before the couple went their separate ways. A product of the West of Scotland before counselling became the fashiom, however, Fitzpatrick found it difficult to express himself beyond the football pitch. He wasn't the only one. “I remember when little Tony died that neighbours and friends didn’t know what to say to us. “They would cross the road because they couldn’t deal with it. “I was very conscious of it and later they would explain they didn’t want to cry or break down. “My daughter was nine when it all happened and I regret that I couldn’t express my feelings to her either. “The little soul was left to cope because I couldn’t speak about it. “It occurred to me then that a book might be a way of breaking down the barrier.” Babakoochi Bear, the star of ‘The Promise, Together Again’, dedicates himself to pursuing peace on earth while adressing the themes of grief, loss and the rainbow which appeared over Yorkhill in January 83.. Fitzpatrick concedes that writing was also a form of catharsis. His way of finding some inner peace. “People feel their grief in different ways,” he admits. “I’m not educated in any way, but I started to jot down ideas about Babakoochi Bear and that developed. “I waited a long time – but this was the right time. I had a huge urge to do it.” An initial print run of 1000 books, with professional illustrations, cost money and when it sells out Fitzpatrick will use the funds to print more. Further stories of Babakoochi Bear’s travails bulge from notebooks in his Glasgow home and the Waterstones branch closest to Paisley have agreed to stock the book aimed at 7-11 year olds. “I did it for Tony,” explains Fitzpatrick. “Listen, he was a normal wee boy – he could be a wee nightmare at times like any child. “But he made a big impact on a lot of people in a short time. And more than anything I want this book to serve as his legacy.” ‘The Promise; Together Again’ by Tony Fitzpatrick is available from www.babakoochibear.com .

'Our policy is that we won't bid for almost any tournaments while the current leadership is there. 'We would be much more interested in bidding for Euro 2028 because we like UEFA but it is a very long time away still.'

A 26-year-old man has been found guilty of sodomizing and strangling to death his girlfriend's four-month-old baby daughter in a horrific 2012 attack following just four hours of jury deliberations. 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. Guilty: Jordan Lafayette Prince (pictured in his police mug shot) has been found guilty of sodomizing and strangling to death his girlfriend's four-month-old baby daughter following four hours of jury deliberations . 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. Despite medics' best efforts, she later died of her injuries. Although her cause of death was ruled to be asphyxiation, prosecutors said the forcible sodomy - carried out with an unknown object - had caused enough internal bleeding to have killed her. Shocking: Prince was convicted on Thursday of brutally sexually assaulting and murdering little Ashlynn Lillith Peters (pictured with her mother, Jessica Lynn Howell, who has been jailed in relation to her death) Scene: On Thursday, Prince showed no emotion as he was convicted of first-degree murder, child abuse and forcible sodomy in the killing of Ashlynn at his mobile home (pictured) in St Charles, Missouri, in 2012 . 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.

Right, Prince in a previous mug shot . During an interview with police, Prince, who had been dating Howell for around five months, reportedly told officers he had become frustrated with the baby because she wouldn't stop crying. Howell, who was apparently sleeping at the time, pleaded guilty in January to her involvement in her daughter's death. She also has two older children, a boy and a girl, St Charles Patch reported. Shockingly, court documents said she had sent a series of text messages to her boyfriend - when Ashlynn was just one month old - encouraging him to have sexual contact with her baby daughter. Prince  - who is not Ashlynn's father and was previously convicted in 2007 of lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 16 - will be sentenced by Circuit Judge Nancy Schneider on April 30.

(CNN)A Pennsylvania community is pulling together to search for an eighth-grade student who has been missing since Wednesday. The search has drawn hundreds of volunteers on foot and online. The parents of Cayman Naib, 13, have been communicating through the Facebook group "Find Cayman" since a day after his disappearance, according to close friend David Binswanger. Newtown Police say Cayman was last seen wearing a gray down winter jacket, black ski pants and hiking boots. He could be in the Radnor-Wayne area, roughly 20 miles from Philadelphia, or may have purchased a train ticket to Philadelphia, according to an alert posted on Facebook. "We think that he got a email from school and was upset by it and left as an impulsive act," Farid Naib, Cayman's father, wrote Thursday on the group page. "We have spoken to his friends and they do not know where he is. Cayman does have his phone, we don't know if he has any cash, he does not have his wallet." The parents said that his phone was out of power at the time. "Cayman left within 30 minutes after he received an email from school regarding overdue home work (we do not blame the school) and most probably did not do any pre planning ... He is a good kid, and has no substance abuse or other issues, this is the first time he has ever done anything like this," his father and mother, Becky Naib, posted Friday. The parents wrote Saturday that Cayman was not wearing waterproof clothing and that he did not take his backpack. Binswanger said weather limited search efforts Wednesday, the night Cayman went missing. Wednesday it was rainy and Thursday there was 6-8 inches of snow. Hundreds of volunteers have stepped up to pass out fliers and to canvass areas, according to posts. A post late Saturday explained search efforts included "advanced, geo-spacial tracking software to determine the exact locations where searchers went," and added that the search would be taken to the skies Sunday with deployment of the Civil Air Patrol. In many posts, the families appealed directly to their son. "Cayman, if you read this please know that you are forgiven for everything, and I mean everything, you have the ultimate free pass. Just come home, we are so worried about you" the family posted Saturday. A message to families from the head of The Shipley School, which Cayman attends, read in part: "Cayman's sister Savannah is in ninth grade at Shipley and his parents, Farid and Becky, are terrific people. They have contacted police and are aware that we are sending you this email. We hope that Cayman is ok and are saying our prayers." CNN could not immediately get in touch with police or the FBI.

Former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki says she felt like someone close to her had died after the split from golfer Rory McIlroy last year. The Dane was quoted by Britain's Independent newspaper as saying her world was turned upside down when the Northern Irishman ended their relationship in May after wedding invitations had been sent out. 'In my head I had everything until that moment,' said Wozniacki. 'I had a great career, I was getting married, I have a perfect family. There was really nothing going against me. I was happy, very happy. Caroline Wozniacki laughing in Florida were she is competing in the Miami Open . The Danish former world No 1 has told about how it felt when she split with Rory McIlroy . 'Then all of a sudden something happens you don't expect. You see your world turned around, literally from one second to the next. I didn't know how strong I was until that happened and I didn't know how much you can actually take. It really feels like someone close to you has died. 'That taught me so much. I grew up so much in that short amount of time. I also realised who is always there for me and who is just there when things are good. 'You learn about life. You have to enjoy it while it's there. You have to enjoy all the great moments. I think now when I look back I wouldn't have been without it because now I really know I'm strong, I know what I want, I know what I can accept, what I can't accept.' Their careers initially went in different directions after the split with McIlroy, who is now the world's No 1 golfer, winning the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth as Wozniacki suffered an embarrassing first-round exit at the French Open.

<s>[INST] Former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki says she felt like someone close to her had died after the split from golfer Rory McIlroy last year. The Dane was quoted by Britain's Independent newspaper as saying her world was turned upside down when the Northern Irishman ended their relationship in May after wedding invitations had been sent out. 'In my head I had everything until that moment,' said Wozniacki. 'I had a great career, I was getting married, I have a perfect family. There was really nothing going against me. I was happy, very happy. Caroline Wozniacki laughing in Florida were she is competing in the Miami Open . The Danish former world No 1 has told about how it felt when she split with Rory McIlroy . 'Then all of a sudden something happens you don't expect. You see your world turned around, literally from one second to the next. I didn't know how strong I was until that happened and I didn't know how much you can actually take. It really feels like someone close to you has died. 'That taught me so much. I grew up so much in that short amount of time. I also realised who is always there for me and who is just there when things are good. 'You learn about life. You have to enjoy it while it's there. You have to enjoy all the great moments. I think now when I look back I wouldn't have been without it because now I really know I'm strong, I know what I want, I know what I can accept, what I can't accept.' Their careers initially went in different directions after the split with McIlroy, who is now the world's No 1 golfer, winning the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth as Wozniacki suffered an embarrassing first-round exit at the French Open.

They have made well over 1000 appearances between them for Barcelona, but Andres Iniesta has admitted that he sometimes struggles to play in the same team as Xavi. The pair are Barcelona legends, having been at the club since the beginning of their careers, but after their win at the weekend Iniesta produced some surprising comments about his oldest team-mate and friend.

Despite their incredible careers, Iniesta (left) says that he sometimes struggles to play alongside Xavi .

We have been together for a long time now and the feelings are always very good, though.' At 30 and 35 respectively, Iniesta and Xavi have had long and illustrious careers at the Nou Camp, collecting trophy after trophy under a number of different managers.

Iniesta, at the age of 30, impressed in the midfield on Sunday in the Barcelona midfield against Rayo Vallecano . But together they have remained, and when Barcelona took to the field to face Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, there they were in the midfield once more. Barcelona trounced Rayo Vallecano 6-1 to take them top of La Liga for the first time since October.

Iniesta though, is still focused on the matches to come. Eibar in the league, Manchester City in the Champions League, and then a Clasico to potentially decide the title. 'More important than being at the top or not is the general feeling of the team after the game we just played,' Iniesta continued. 'We feel good and have to continue along that line.

That feeling of elation when handing over money at the till as the shop assistant puts your new dress into a bag, followed by that sinking feeling when you next look at your bank balance - millions of us have been there. But new research has shown the situation may be worse than previously thought - one in four women have admitted to being addicted to shopping and say they lie about how much they spend. But is it any surprise when it gives ladies such a rush? The new study into 2,000 ladies found a third were at their happiest when spending money on new clothes. A new study shows a quarter of British women are addicted to shopping (picture posed by model) The addiction isn't purely about the clothes though, it's also down to the effect it has on the body. 45 per cent of those questioned get a genuine rush of excitement when they purchase new clothes, shoes and accessories. And while many credit having children, a rewarding career or being in love as making them truly happy, a third of women claim that nothing beats the buzz of strutting out of a shop swinging a bag full of new purchases. It seems we can't switch off from thinking about items we want in our wardrobe either once catching sight of something online or in a store. The longest the average woman avoids buying new clothes is two and a half months (picture posed by model) Over half of British women said when they see something they like either on a website or in a shop they can’t stop thinking about it and 17 per cent revealed they even dream about clothes they are coveting. The poll by LoveSales.com - a shopping site that monitors items on all the top retailer websites in the UK and alerts you when they drop in price - found the typical female ‘watches’ an item of clothing for at least seven days before buying. More than one in twenty even print out a picture of the must have item and pin it up at home or at work. 1. If it’s replacing something that I have worn to death I should replace it . 2. If I can buy it outright and not go in to debt to buy it - I should have it . 3. If it goes down in price I must have it . 4. I will only purchase a luxury item if it was on offer . 5. If the price is less than I thought it would be I should get it . 6. If I still want it after a week I should have it . 7. If I have been thinking of it constantly I should have it . 8. If I still want it after a month I should have it . 9. If I have been good in other areas of my life (like dieting) then I should have it . 10. If I have had a bad week or bad news I should buy it as a pick me up . Keir McConomy, founder of LoveSales.com, said: 'Most women will be able to relate to this research to some degree and there is obviously some truth in the phrase ‘retail therapy’. 'When you see something you like and are still thinking about it a good while after, it’s probably a sign you should buy it.' The study also found that the longest amount of time the average woman has gone without buying a new item of clothing is only two and half months. And then 40 per cent said they celebrate their abstinence with a big, spending blow-out. Four in ten also like to treat themselves to something new if they have had a bad day at work.

Yet another former model has publicly accused embattled entertainer Bill Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her on at least two occasions nearly 40 years ago. Cosby's latest accuser, known only as Patricia, was one of more than a dozen women who anonymously testified against the comedian as part of a 2005 lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand - a former basketball star and Temple University employee who was among the first people to call out Cosby. The multimillionaire TV star settled the lawsuit a year later for an undisclosed amount, and his accusers were effectively 'silenced,' said Patricia. Scroll down for video . More accusations: Yet another former model, a 58-year-old California resident named Patricia, has come out accusing Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting her in the late 1970s . More than 30 women have accused the 77-year-old award-winning comedian in recent years of sexually assaulting them over the past four decades. Cosby's legal team have repeatedly said their client denies all of the allegations of sexual misconduct. Speaking in an exclusive interview with BuzzFeed this week, Patricia, now 58 years old and living in California, finally got to tell her story involving the powerful show business big-shot who allegedly lured her to his home under the guise of an acting lesson and took advantage of her after spiking her drink. Patricia said she was 22 years old in 1978 when Cosby invited her to a dinner party at his home in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. The young model, who first met the famous comic while working as a conference planner at the University of Massachusetts - her and Cosby’s alma mater - assumed that the actor's wife, Camille, will be joining them for dinner. But when she arrived the Cosbys' house, Patrica said she found a table set just for two next to a fireplace. ‘I felt alarm bells go off because it did feel intimate, but I was trying to be so grown up and mature,' she told the site. Jane Doe: Patricia was one of more than a dozen women who anonymously testified against the comedian as part of a 2005 lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand (left and right) The young model accepted a drink from her famous host, who then proceeded to give her a set of peculiar acting directions: Patricia was asked to pretend to be a queen with oatmeal dripping down her face. 'It was so creepy,' Patricia told BuzzFeed. 'He told me to convince him that I could remain regal and queenlike no matter what I looked like.' As the odd improvisational game went on, Patricia said she started to feel strange and eventually blacked out. In a now-familiar scenario, Patricia said she later woke up naked in bed to find Cosby standing over her dressed in a robe. The comedian allegedly said that the young woman got sick and he had to remove and wash her soiled dress. She recalled that at the time, it sounded like a plausible explanation. On her way home after the disastrous dinner, Patricia got violently ill and had to pull over four times to throw up. Patricia, an aspiring singer and actress, said she felt embarrassed and was certain that Cosby would not want to help her anymore with her career in show business. But Cosby followed through on his promise to mentor her, paying for her acting lessons in New York and Los Angeles, getting her a gym membership to help her lose weight, and regularly checking up on her progress. Ideal: The last time Patricia saw Cosby in 1980, the comic allegedly requested that she style her hair like Queen Noor of Jordan (left and right) Regal: Patricia claimed Cosby was 'obsessed' with the beautiful American-born consort of King Hussein, and that he even sent her a photo of the queen so that a hair stylist could replicate her loose bun . Patricia also accompanied the married actor to several events around the country. The last time she saw Cosby during a live taping of the Dinah Shore Show in 1980, the comedian had an odd request: Patricia was asked to style her hair like Queen Noor of Jordan. Patricia claimed that Cosby was 'obsessed' with the striking American-born consort of King Hussein, and that he even sent her a photo of the queen so that a hair stylist could replicate her loose bun. After the show taping, Patricia claimed that Cosby talked her into taking some pills to relax her. She awakened the next morning naked and knew at once that something was awry. 'I was very sick and knew that someone had penetrated me,' the ex-model told the site. Patricia then confronted Cosby, but the comedian became furious, accused her of being an ingrate and threw her out of his suite. The woman kept mum about her experiences for the next three decades, saying that she felt ashamed and partially responsible for what happened to her because she trusted the wrong person and let herself be blinded by ambition. Patricia finally broke her silence in 2005 after her therapist gave her the number of the detective investigating the allegations against Cosby. She then joined 13 other women who agreed to testify as part of Andrea Constand's five-count lawsuit against the beleaguered comic. Patricia has become the seventh Jane Doe to speak out. She hopes other alleged victims will follow her example and come out of the shadows. 'You're not alone,' she said. 'You don’t have to keep this a secret anymore.'

My hair is thin and flat, and it never seems to grow longer than just past my shoulders. Do you have any tips for adding much-needed volume? Karen, 53, Cheshire. 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’s equally important that they don’t 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’s 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’s hair to create a natural look. Then, she cut them, so that they blended in with Karen’s 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 — 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. OR TRY THE NEW VOLUMISERS … . Not everyone is suitable for hair extensions. But if they’re not for you, there are some excellent products to use as an alternative. The new John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7 Day Volume In-Shower Treatment (£9.99, boots.com) is designed for hair that lacks body. A semi-permanent treatment, it creates volume by building a polymer network onto hair fibres, enhancing the texture and fullness of individual strands. Shampoo and conditioner can also make a real difference. The Ogario London Revive and Shine Conditioner (£18.50, ogariolondon.com) blends pro-vitamin B5, which boosts the water content of your hair. It is also rich in minerals and ideal for helping to promote healthy hair growth. Kerastase has invented its first youth activator serum, Densifique Serum Jeunesse (£49, kerastase.co.uk). Apply to the scalp on towel-dried hair. The Trevor Sorbie Rejuvenate range has a collagen and peptide complex to repair and strengthen. Try Rejuvenate Strengthening Treatment (£9.99, Boots) after shampooing, then rinse. Mousse is an old favourite for volume boosting, as the polymers and binding agents make it easier to style. Try the Andrew Barton Supreme Volume Big Body Beautiful Mousse (£2.50, Asda). Finally, the Colab Extreme Volume Dry Shampoo (£2.50, Superdrug) in a handy 50 ml size is perfect for volume on the go. Karen’s extensions were applied at Real Hair, Cale Street, Chelsea. Prices from £350. Beauty Works has more than 1,000 stockists across the UK and Ireland (beautyworksonline.com). UNSUNG HERO . Lotil (from £3.59, Boots) Lotil (from £3.59, Boots) is such a useful, versatile skin product. Amazingly, it’s been around for more than 100 years and can be used to soothe insect bites, blisters, burns and even skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. The rich, hydrating formula has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. The cream is thick, so it needs to be worked into the skin until absorbed. BARGAIN BUY . Essence long-lasting lipsticks (£2.30, wilko.com ) Nude shades are big news for spring — especially for lips. The secret is to find a shade that complements your complexion. The new collection of Essence long-lasting lipsticks (£2.30, wilko.com) has a shade to suit all skin tones. ELSA'S PICK . Bobbi Brown has launched a limited edition shade of its iconic Pot Rouge — Pretty Powerful 11 (£19, Bobbi Brown). Just a tiny touch will give lips or cheeks a boost of fresh colour. For each compact sold, the full price (less VAT) will be donated to Smart Works, a charity that gives styling advice to out-of-work women. Rimmel Sun Shimmer Self-Tan Mousse (£7.99, Boots) is a fast-drying tan that develops in one hour. Massage the mousse in with a tanning mitt to ensure an even coverage. It comes in three shades — light, medium and dark — and all are matte, so there’s no unwanted sparkle. For your first self-tan of the year, it’s always best to build up the colour slowly — so if you’re fair-skinned, start with the lightest shade and use it over three days to get a natural glow. It’s always a good idea to pick a face mask based on your skin’s individual needs.

<s>[INST] My hair is thin and flat, and it never seems to grow longer than just past my shoulders. Do you have any tips for adding much-needed volume? Karen, 53, Cheshire. 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’s equally important that they don’t 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’s 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’s hair to create a natural look. Then, she cut them, so that they blended in with Karen’s 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 — 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. OR TRY THE NEW VOLUMISERS … . Not everyone is suitable for hair extensions. But if they’re not for you, there are some excellent products to use as an alternative. The new John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7 Day Volume In-Shower Treatment (£9.99, boots.com) is designed for hair that lacks body. A semi-permanent treatment, it creates volume by building a polymer network onto hair fibres, enhancing the texture and fullness of individual strands. Shampoo and conditioner can also make a real difference. The Ogario London Revive and Shine Conditioner (£18.50, ogariolondon.com) blends pro-vitamin B5, which boosts the water content of your hair. It is also rich in minerals and ideal for helping to promote healthy hair growth. Kerastase has invented its first youth activator serum, Densifique Serum Jeunesse (£49, kerastase.co.uk). Apply to the scalp on towel-dried hair. The Trevor Sorbie Rejuvenate range has a collagen and peptide complex to repair and strengthen. Try Rejuvenate Strengthening Treatment (£9.99, Boots) after shampooing, then rinse. Mousse is an old favourite for volume boosting, as the polymers and binding agents make it easier to style. Try the Andrew Barton Supreme Volume Big Body Beautiful Mousse (£2.50, Asda). Finally, the Colab Extreme Volume Dry Shampoo (£2.50, Superdrug) in a handy 50 ml size is perfect for volume on the go. Karen’s extensions were applied at Real Hair, Cale Street, Chelsea. Prices from £350. Beauty Works has more than 1,000 stockists across the UK and Ireland (beautyworksonline.com). UNSUNG HERO . Lotil (from £3.59, Boots) Lotil (from £3.59, Boots) is such a useful, versatile skin product. Amazingly, it’s been around for more than 100 years and can be used to soothe insect bites, blisters, burns and even skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. The rich, hydrating formula has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. The cream is thick, so it needs to be worked into the skin until absorbed. BARGAIN BUY . Essence long-lasting lipsticks (£2.30, wilko.com ) Nude shades are big news for spring — especially for lips. The secret is to find a shade that complements your complexion. The new collection of Essence long-lasting lipsticks (£2.30, wilko.com) has a shade to suit all skin tones. ELSA'S PICK . Bobbi Brown has launched a limited edition shade of its iconic Pot Rouge — Pretty Powerful 11 (£19, Bobbi Brown). Just a tiny touch will give lips or cheeks a boost of fresh colour. For each compact sold, the full price (less VAT) will be donated to Smart Works, a charity that gives styling advice to out-of-work women. Rimmel Sun Shimmer Self-Tan Mousse (£7.99, Boots) is a fast-drying tan that develops in one hour. Massage the mousse in with a tanning mitt to ensure an even coverage. It comes in three shades — light, medium and dark — and all are matte, so there’s no unwanted sparkle. For your first self-tan of the year, it’s always best to build up the colour slowly — so if you’re fair-skinned, start with the lightest shade and use it over three days to get a natural glow. It’s always a good idea to pick a face mask based on your skin’s individual needs. The new NSpa masks cost just £1.59, or two for £3 at Asda, so you can choose one or two to address your skin’s particular issues. Choose from Radiance Boosting, which infuses skin with vitamins and brightens the complexion, Warming Detox, which draws out impurities, Deep Cleansing Mud, which gives skin a real glow, or Professional Peeling, which will calm down your blemishes.

(CNN)Twenty-one people were injured Saturday when a commuter train collided with a car and derailed near the University of Southern California campus in Los Angeles, authorities said. The collision happened at about 10:45 a.m. near Exposition Boulevard and Watt Way when an eastbound Hyundai turned north onto the tracks as an eastbound light-rail Metro train approached, said Sgt. Michael Verlich of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. "The vehicle got wedged in between a pole and the train, causing the train to dislodge," Verlich said. Of the 21 injured people, 10 were transported to hospitals for treatment, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department Twitter account. One was in critical condition and one in grave condition, the tweet said. The derailment was expected to cause traffic problems for the 6:30 p.m. Saturday soccer game between Mexico and Ecuador at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum across from the USC campus. Metro Los Angeles, the transit and transportation agency for Los Angeles County, said it has requested shuttle buses to accommodate the crowds.

Dhaka, Bangladesh (CNN)Bangladesh authorities say they have arrested the prime suspect in the murder of American blogger Avijit Roy who was hacked to death on a Dhaka street last week. The person, Farabi Shafiur Rahman, had called for Avijit Roy's death in numerous Facebook posts, according to Roy's parents. And within minutes after the Thursday attack, Rahman posted photos of the crime scene, said Col. Ziaul Ahsan of Bangladesh's elite anti-crime unit, the Rapid Action Battalion. In a Facebook comment last year, Rahman allegedly wrote, "Avijit Roy lives in America. So it's not possible to kill him now. But when he returns home, he will be killed then." In an earlier post, the same person wrote, "It's a Bengali Muslims holy duty to kill Avijit." Extremists resented Roy for openly and regularly criticizing religion in his blog. They threatened to kill him if he came home from the United States to visit. As usual, Roy defied the threats and departed his home in suburban Atlanta for Dhaka, where he appeared at a speaking engagement about his latest books -- one of them titled "The Virus of Faith." He has written seven books in all. Roy was killed Thursday as he walked back from a book fair with his wife. Assailants plunged machetes and knives into Roy and his wife, killing him and leaving her bloodied and missing a finger. Witnesses said no one came to the couple's aid as they were hacked down. Rahman, the man in custody, also allegedly posted threats against the owner of the online bookstore, Rokomari.com, forcing it to stop selling Roy's books. And last year, he was detained -- then released -- for comments he allegedly made in support of the death of another blogger, Ahmed Rajib Haider. Like Roy, Haider too was hacked to death. He too had written critically about religion on his blog. CNN's Ray Sanchez, Lonzo Cook, Greg Botelho, Farid Ahmed and John Couwels contributed to this report.

Police say the suspect posted photos of the crime scene . He also threatened Roy in social media posts, his family said .

Holland scored in stoppage time through a deflected Wesley Sneijder shot to secure a 1-1 draw with Turkey on Saturday and avoid their first ever home defeat in European Championship qualifying. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar got a slight deflection to a long-range strike from captain Sneijder in the 92nd minute to rescue a point for the Dutch, who looked to be heading to their third defeat in five matches in Group A. Burak Yilmaz scored in the 37th minute at the Amsterdam Arena, given time in the penalty area to fire off a shot that took a deflection off Bruno Martins Indi to put the Turks ahead at halftime.

The home team had several chances in the first half with captain Sneijder, deputising for the injured Robin van Persie, going closest but their best came after the break when substitute Luciano Narsingh missed an open goal. Sneijder shot narrowly wide with a free kick and full back Jetro Willems went close with a rasping shot 10 minutes from time. The introduction of tall forward Bas Dost forced the Dutch to throw everything forward in a final assault and the equaliser came when Sneijder's shot struck Huntelaar on the back of the head and deflected into goal.

We did not impose ourselves enough in the first half but we were more attacking in the second and something had to fall for us in the end.'

In 2001, then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Bernard Kerik was like a brother to him, at the police commissioner's NYPD retirement ceremony. But just five years later, as he was accused of ethics violations and conspiracy charges, Kerik learned that Giuliani's friendship was anything but as strong as blood. In his new memoir From Jailer to Jailed, due out Tuesday and excerpted in the New York Daily News, Kerik details his fall from grace and how Giuliani cut ties not only with him, but with his wife and daughters - one of whom is Giuliani's goddaughter. From friends to strangers: Disgraced for New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik says ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani abandoned him and his family once he was hit with legal woes in the mid-2000s. The two pictured above on Saturday Night Live following 9/11 (Kerik on the left, Giuliani on the right) Abandoning his own goddaughter: Kerik says Giuliani completely cut ties not only with him but with his family, including his daughter Celine who is Giuliani's goddaughter. Kerik pictured above with his family in New York City in December 2006. In the photo, Kerik holds daughter Angelina, with his arm around daughter Celine, next to wife Hala . When the first accusations against Kerik were lodged in 2006, his old pal Giuliani was gearing up for the 2008 presidential election and the two appeared to still be close. But in June of that year, Kerik went from being a 9/11 hero to a corrupt city official on the cover of tabloids when the Bronx District Attorney's Office hit him with two ethics code violations - one for not disclosing a personal loan on his conflict-of-interest report and the other for accepting renovations on his home from a New Jersey company vying for city work. It was in November that Kerik first started to feel the cold shoulder from the Giuliani camp. Writer: In his memoir From Jailer to Jailed (cover, left), due out Tuesday, Kerik details how he sent Giuliani a Bronco Buster statue (stock image right) for Christmas in 2006 and had the gift sent back with no explanation . Kerik says he was sitting in his office one day when his then 6-year-old daughter Celine came in and asked to send her godfather a present - one befitting a possible future president of the United States. 'Given that my daughter Celine was only six years old at the time, she had no idea of the difference between a Democrat and a Republican. All she knew was that people were saying that her godfather was going to be the next president of the United States. Disgraced: Kerik was sent to prison in 2010 after pleading guilty to felony tax and false statement charges. Pictured above at a press conference in November 2007 . 'She was talking about it twenty-four hours a day, as if that were the only thing going on in her little world. She had no idea of what this really meant, of course, but she was convinced that Rudy was going to be president,' Kerik writes. Remembering a previous visit to the White House to meet President George W Bush, Celine asked to give her godfather a Bronco Buster statue - just like the one she saw in Oval Office during her visit. The two picked out a statuette and sent it to Giuliani with a handmade card from Celine ahead of Kerik's out-of-town trip to London. By the time he returned though, Kerik was having a hard time getting in contact with Giuliani. Kerik had promised his daughter that they could see her godfather during their annual holiday-time stay in New York City and when Giuliani didn't return his calls, Kerik 'didn't have the hard to tell Celine'. Kerik fully got the message when soon after he found a box containing the statue returned to his front step. 'I just didn’t understand it. What bothered me more than anything was that whoever sent it back took the girls’ card and didn’t have the courtesy to send a note back with the box,' Kerik recalls. What's more - Giuliani failed to send his daughters birthday or Christmas cards like he did every year - and they haven't received one since. The next year, Kerik was hit with even more allegations - this time for conspiracy, tax fraud and making false statements during his Department of Homeland Security appointment. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to eight felony tax and false statement charges and was sent to the minimum-security prison camp in Cumberland, Maryland on May 17, 2010 - where he spent the next nearly three years. Kerik says what bothers him most about his sudden estrangement from Giuliani, is the fact that the former NYC mayor abandoned his wife and daughter when they needed his support the most. ' During my time in Cumberland, Rudy never once called Hala [Kerik's wife] to speak with the girls. He never tried calling any mutual friend of ours to check up on them, ask how they were doing. There were no Christmas or birthday cards. 'My safe guess is that as a former U.S. attorney Rudy had a sense of what the separation of incarceration does to families — yet not once did he call to help in any way,' Kerik writes. Before he was jailed, Kerik  held positions as the corrections commissioner of New York City, New York City police commissioner and interim Iraqi minister of the interior. Giuliani ran as a Republican in the 2008 presidential primary but lost the party nomination to Arizona Senator John McCain.

He's better known for his fancy footwork on the pitch but Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge took time out of scoring goals to get some kitchen action. The 25-year-old Birmingham lad was taken through his culinary paces by his mother Grace, who taught him how to make her favourite dish ahead of Mother's Day. And like her Reds son, mum Grace is a fan of healthy eating and requested the Kop ace to create a high protein meal of spicy grilled chicken with seasoned quinoa and vegetables. Scroll down for video. Daniel Sturridge and kisses his mother Grace after he successfully cooks spicy chicken with quinoa and vegetables as part of his Mother's Day Challenge . The 25-year-old Birmingham lad in action on the pitch, competing with Alex Baptise of Blackburn Rovers during the FA Cup Quarter Final match on Sunday 8 March . The duo joined forces in the kitchen as part of a Sainsbury's Active Kids event at a school in St Paul's RC Junior School, Liverpool. Daniel, who cooks his own meals every day, told FEMAIL: My mum is amazing, she has provided me with so much support and continues to do so always. 'To spoil my mum I would probably cook her something healthy with a bit of spice to it, fish based maybe. 'Mum loves nice salads and especially avocado, so would definitely include that.' For the challenge the Sainsbury's Active Kids ambassador had to prepare quinoa -  which is a superfood favourite of the family - and marinate the chicken with Grace's home-made spicy 'Sturrcrazy' sauce, made to a secret family recipe. The pair cook together when they can although these days it's becoming rarer. Grace said to FEMAIL: 'When we can we like to cook together, but it doesn't happen so often these days, as Daniel lives away from home. Mother and son work together and start off by seasoning the chicken with a mixture of spices . As the chicken marinades the pair chop the vegetables and prepare the rest of the meal . What was Daniel like as a child? Daniel has always been really active, he played football in and out of school. At home he would play out whatever the weather! Because of his naturally active lifestyle, he always loved meal times and eating Afro-Caribbean food. As our family were all sporty and active, it was natural for us to promote healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. Does he still have the same tastes? Yes still loves it, amongst other things! But Daniel loves anything with spice to it. What is his favourite food? I would say he has two favourite dishes, fish and chicken. The white meat is full of protein so is really good for him and he loves to be able to make both chicken and fish in to spicy dishes, which is why he loves our family's Sturr Crazy sauce. If he was cooking for you, what would he cook? Probably salmon with sweet potatoes and garlic thyme chopped up and cooked in the oven. It's quite an easy dish to make and it's really tasty. He would probably make a side salad with rocket, tomatoes and lots of avocado, he knows I love avocado! What does Daniel mean to you? All of the family are so proud of what Daniel has achieved so far, he gave up so much as a child and we are just so happy that he is achieving his dream, as parents you couldn't wish for more than that for your children! But she still tries to get her family together at weekends. 'Every Sunday we still try and get together as a family and have a typical Afro-Caribbean lunch of spicy meat, rice and peas. 'We love getting together and think it's important to spend that time together,' she continued. Famous for being a proponent of superfoods after his 2014 calf injury saw him miss 13 matches, Daniel now incorporates as much nutrient-packed foods into his diet as he can. 'It's important for me to make sure that I eat a healthy balanced diet as obviously I'm training every day,'he said. 'I do enjoy cooking and I look forward to my dinner each night.' His favourite meal to cook is 'salmon, kale, sweet potato, broccoli and quinoa' which he covers in Sturr Crazy sauce. 'I have it on everything,'he said. 'It adds that perfect amount of spice to a dish; I even took some out to the World Cup with me.' A typical day will see him pack away three scrambled eggs with berries for breakfast whilst lunch and dinner are heavy on protein-rich foods . 'Lunch and dinner could be quite similar to each other with something like quinoa, with perhaps chicken or fish [as] they are both great for recovery and full of protein,' he said. 'On the side I would have broccoli, spinach, lots of steamed veg. I also drink a lot of white tea and moringa tea throughout the day,' he continued. So far so healthy, but doesn't he have any guilty food secrets? 'I'm pretty good with my diet to be honest, I love healthy food which helps and it is something I have worked on for years. But every now and then you need something sweet, which is fine, but all in moderation,' he said. And does he dance in the kitchen when he's successfully cooked a meal? 'Haha I leave the dancing for on the pitch,' he laughed. Tara Hewitt, Head of Sponsorship for Sainsbury's said: 'It was great to see Daniel and Grace cooking together at the event; they clearly have a passion for great tasting, healthy food.' Result! Daniel and Grace with the finished meal, spicy chicken served with quinoa and steamed veg . Ingredients: Four chicken thighs (skin and boneless); 220g quinoa; four spring onions; one sweet red pepper; two cloves fresh garlic; four medium carrots; one broccoli floret; four spears of asparagus; black pepper, all spice, paprika; dark soy sauce; olive oil . Mehod: Season the chicken with all spice, black pepper, paprika and dark soy sauce and leave to marinate overnight. Pre-heat the oven to 400*F and back chicken for approx 30 mins until golden and cooked through. Splash on some SturrCrazy sauce (or other spicy condiment) and return to the oven for five minutes. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place on a high heat with a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil then turn down to simmer for 20 mins until steamed and fluffy then set aside. Whilst the quinoa is steaming, finely chop the onions a quarter of the sweet pepper, two cloves of garlic and pan fry with a splash of olive oil, pepper and season all. Empty and toss the cooked quinoa in with the onions and mix together, adding more seasoning if needed. Peel and chop the carrots, chop the broccoli, trim the asparagus and steam in a pan for five minutes until tender before plating up.

<s>[INST] He's better known for his fancy footwork on the pitch but Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge took time out of scoring goals to get some kitchen action. The 25-year-old Birmingham lad was taken through his culinary paces by his mother Grace, who taught him how to make her favourite dish ahead of Mother's Day. And like her Reds son, mum Grace is a fan of healthy eating and requested the Kop ace to create a high protein meal of spicy grilled chicken with seasoned quinoa and vegetables. Scroll down for video. Daniel Sturridge and kisses his mother Grace after he successfully cooks spicy chicken with quinoa and vegetables as part of his Mother's Day Challenge . The 25-year-old Birmingham lad in action on the pitch, competing with Alex Baptise of Blackburn Rovers during the FA Cup Quarter Final match on Sunday 8 March . The duo joined forces in the kitchen as part of a Sainsbury's Active Kids event at a school in St Paul's RC Junior School, Liverpool. Daniel, who cooks his own meals every day, told FEMAIL: My mum is amazing, she has provided me with so much support and continues to do so always. 'To spoil my mum I would probably cook her something healthy with a bit of spice to it, fish based maybe. 'Mum loves nice salads and especially avocado, so would definitely include that.' For the challenge the Sainsbury's Active Kids ambassador had to prepare quinoa -  which is a superfood favourite of the family - and marinate the chicken with Grace's home-made spicy 'Sturrcrazy' sauce, made to a secret family recipe. The pair cook together when they can although these days it's becoming rarer. Grace said to FEMAIL: 'When we can we like to cook together, but it doesn't happen so often these days, as Daniel lives away from home. Mother and son work together and start off by seasoning the chicken with a mixture of spices . As the chicken marinades the pair chop the vegetables and prepare the rest of the meal . What was Daniel like as a child? Daniel has always been really active, he played football in and out of school. At home he would play out whatever the weather! Because of his naturally active lifestyle, he always loved meal times and eating Afro-Caribbean food. As our family were all sporty and active, it was natural for us to promote healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. Does he still have the same tastes? Yes still loves it, amongst other things! But Daniel loves anything with spice to it. What is his favourite food? I would say he has two favourite dishes, fish and chicken. The white meat is full of protein so is really good for him and he loves to be able to make both chicken and fish in to spicy dishes, which is why he loves our family's Sturr Crazy sauce. If he was cooking for you, what would he cook? Probably salmon with sweet potatoes and garlic thyme chopped up and cooked in the oven. It's quite an easy dish to make and it's really tasty. He would probably make a side salad with rocket, tomatoes and lots of avocado, he knows I love avocado! What does Daniel mean to you? All of the family are so proud of what Daniel has achieved so far, he gave up so much as a child and we are just so happy that he is achieving his dream, as parents you couldn't wish for more than that for your children! But she still tries to get her family together at weekends. 'Every Sunday we still try and get together as a family and have a typical Afro-Caribbean lunch of spicy meat, rice and peas. 'We love getting together and think it's important to spend that time together,' she continued. Famous for being a proponent of superfoods after his 2014 calf injury saw him miss 13 matches, Daniel now incorporates as much nutrient-packed foods into his diet as he can. 'It's important for me to make sure that I eat a healthy balanced diet as obviously I'm training every day,'he said. 'I do enjoy cooking and I look forward to my dinner each night.'

A mother-of-one has argued that parents should be doing more to teach their children about sex following the news that pupils as young as 11 will be taught the difference between rape and consensual sex in schools. Education secretary Nicky Morgan said the proposed lessons (which schools and parents can choose to opt in to) will better prepare pupils for life in modern Britain. The question over whether such lessons are appropriate led to a heated debate on today's This Morning as two women appeared to share their opposing views. Scroll down for video . 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. Parents have handed their children over to computers and smart phones to raise them. They have taken their foot off the pedal and that is the issue. 'Children are seeing "pop porn" from Rihanna and Nicki Minaj and we need to be telling children in schools - if anything at all about sex education - that's it's about relationships and respecting yourself. Anna Williamson, 33, a Childline counsellor, believes it's never too early for children to talk about sex . 'We are thrusting them into this sexualised world when we don't need to.' She added on the issue of teaching the difference between rape and consensual sex in schools: 'We should not be normalising this for children. I am an open-minded mum and I sexually educated my daughter because I am the safest person to do it.' However, TV presenter Anna Williamson, 33, from London, who is a Childline counsellor, said she believes it's never too early for children to talk about sex education. She said: 'The key word about this is age appropriate. It's not about storming into a classroom and giving children a barrage of information that as adults we find difficult to take in. 'It's gently starting that conversation and getting schools on board and parents taking responsibility too so it's a three way conversation. 'We know at Childline that there is a deficit (in sex education) between the ages of six and 11 so these children don't have the tools and the know how - or where to ask for help - or to know what is wrong.' 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. Under Morgan's proposal, pupils are to be taught from the age of 11 about the difference between rape and consensual sex. The two women debated the issue raised by education secretary Nicky Morgan with TV presenters Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden . The lessons, which could come in as soon as after the Easter holidays, will be based on a series of resources being developed by the PSHE Association. Writing in The Sunday Times to mark International Women's Day, the Conservative MP said: 'We have to face the fact that many pressures girls face today were unimaginable to my generation and it's our duty to ensure that our daughters leave school able to navigate the challenges and choices they'll face in adulthood. 'Our commitment to supporting women should start long before they take home their first wage. We have to ensure that the education girls receive not only allows them to reach their academic potential, but also prepares them for life in modern Britain.' The recommended materials, which she has stressed will be age appropriate, are aimed at giving teachers more confidence and better guidance to teach difficult subjects. The sex education lessons will be based on a series of resources being developed by the PSHE Association . Nicky Morgan has said 'it's our duty to ensure that our daughters leave school able to navigate the challenges and choices they'll face in adulthood' Thousands of This Morning viewers took to the show's Facebook page to join in the debate. Carla Pointing said she agreed with Anna's points and welcomes the move to change sex education in schools. She wrote: 'Think that's a great idea. In an ideal world it wouldn't have to happen at all but it's good to educate children on the difference and make them aware in an age appropriate way. 'I'd be more than happy for my child to be taught about this at school.' Toni Greenacre also believes it's a good idea. She said: 'They should be taught that anything under the age of 16 is wrong too. If they don't know, then how will they speak out about it?' But Samantha Roythorne thinks 11 is too young for children to be taught about rape. She said: '11-year-olds should not know what sex is. You can protect your children from horrible people without going into detail. 'I would be mortified if my daughter found out what sex was at that age! Sex is for adults not children!' Leanne Marie Christie agreed saying she thinks the proposal takes away childhood innocence. She said: 'How can an 11-year-old process the feelings and emotions that go along with this conversation, we moan about the state our country is in yet we give children responsibilities and emotions they can't deal with and wonder why they are stressed, self harming and having mental health problems it's ridiculous! They are only children for a short time lets let them be innocent!'

A man who sparked an emergency evacuation after falling seriously ill has been air lifted from Davis Station to the ice breaker vessel the Aurora Australis. The ship, with 114 people on board, left the base on March 17 for its two-week journey to Hobart but got an emergency call to return two days later to pick the ailing man. The tradesman was flown by helicopter on Sunday and taken aboard, while a temporary pipeline was used to refuel the ship, which had to remain offshore due to a build-up of ice in the harbour. The ship will negotiate about 100 nautical miles of ice before reaching open water to embark on the voyage of about two weeks back to Hobart. An expeditioner was being transferred from Davis Station in the Australian Antarctic Territory to the Aurora Australis via a helicopter on Sunday . 'People have been working around the clock to refuel the ship and they've been working in quite difficult conditions,' Australian Antarctic Division operations manager Robb Clifton said. 'Often below minus 10 degrees (Celsius) and with a fairly constant snowfall.' Mr Clifton wouldn't elaborate on the man's illness other than to say it was not the result of an accident or incident. He is in a serious but stable condition in the ship's medical bay and is being supported via tele-medicine by medical specialists in Hobart. There were initial reports the man was a scientist but the AAD confirmed he was a tradesman. The man was airlifted from Davis Station in the Australian Antarctic Territory to the Aurora Australis . The man remains in a serious but stable condition in the ship's medical bay and is being supported via tele-medicine by medical specialists in Hobart . The emergency efforts to evacuate the man follows after the vessel was hampered by poor weather conditions and increasing amounts of ice. The Australian Antarctic Division's Operations Manager Robb Clifton said he had hoped the ship could begin its journey back to Hobart on Monday. The Australian Antarctic Division said the man's condition had stabilised and is not contagious, but that he needed to go to Hobart for further treatment. The man arrived in Antarctica in November and had been due to spend the winter at the base. The patient and his family have asked for privacy, Division boss Tony Fleming said.

The Aurora Australis, with 114 people on board, left the Davis station on March 17 for its two-week journey to Hobart in Australia but got an emergency call to return two days later with the worker gravely ill .

Frustrated users of the App Store, Mac App Store and iTunes around the world were unable to download songs and apps from Apple's sites for much of the day. The services were down for approximately eleven hours and the long outage may have cost Apple millions of dollars in lost sales. Apple has revealed technical problems caused by an internal DNS error - although all service have now been restored. Error: Outage is thought to be affecting would-be customers in the UK, US, Canada, India and other regions . Apple also confirmed in an update on its status page that the issue was global. This morning, the page claimed that all services were functioning well - despite there being problems - but it has now been updated to show that the App Store, iTunes Store, Mac App Store and iBooks Store are all 'unavailable to all users'. This afternoon, Apple issued a statement, saying: 'We apologise to our customers experiencing problems with iTunes and other services this morning. 'The cause was an internal DNS error at Apple. We’re working to make all of the services available to customers as soon as possible, and we thank everyone for their patience.' Currently music, film and TV content is visible in the iTunes Stores, but users can’t buy it. Some users have seen error messages, while others are simply unable to download the goods they want in the digital stores. The front pages of both the App Store and Mac App Store are accessible, but there are broken pages on the sites when accessing individual apps. Currently some customers simply see a spinning circle indicating that a song is in the process of being downloaded, but nothing happens. Others are shown an error page saying that content cannot be displayed, or that the store is temporarily unavailable and could not complete their request, when they try to download an album. The status page also reveals that some users had problems accessing their iCloud mail this morning and may have been unable to sign in. This morning, Apple's status page claimed that all its services were functioning well - despite there being problems - but it has now been updated to show that the App Store, iTunes Store, Mac App Store and iBooks Store are all 'unavailable to all users' A post from Californian tech giant's Apple Support twitter handle said: 'APP STORE ISSUE: You may be receiving an error this morning. Apple are currently working on this and we do apologise.' In 2014 Apple revealed in that it had made $18.06 billion in revenue from iTunes, including its software and services, making up 10 per cent of Apple's total net sales. If this year's revenues match 2014's, the firm could be losing more than $2 million an hour  - equivalent to $34,000 every minute. London-based social media analyst Tim Grimes tweeted: 'Based on 2014 iTunes Revenue: Apple are losing $34,246 per minute, $2,054,794 per hour the #iTunes store is down.' Seeing as the outage encompasses other services, it could follow that Apple's losses are much higher than this. Tim Cook has previously said that the App Store posted $4.6 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014, which means that firm could also be losing around $2 million an hour, or almost $35,000 a minute. Frustration: In both iTunes and the App store, users simply see a spinning circle indicating that a song or app is in the process of being downloaded, but nothing happens, as shown in the screenshots above . One person tweeted: 'If iTunes doesn't start working within the next two hours I will literally cry...' while another said 'iTunes store has been down for like 2 hours.' A user called MisterDanD said: ' iTunes, App Store is DOWN worldwide, which is screwing up my morning! has someone hacked them? #apple #iTunes' and a user called lightcap wrote: 'Apple's app store is down (for purchasing, not browsing), but the world's most useless site remains useless as ever...' posting a link to the company's status page. Making a humorous reference to Apple's new MacBook, which was unveiled with just one port earlier this week, Twitter user schwarztech said: 'Maybe someone accidentally unplugged the single USB-C cable that the App/iBook Storer runs off of?' The outage appears to have been ongoing for several hours this morning, according to The Next Web, which said that iBooks and in-app purchases can't be accessed. TestFlight - a service used by developers to test apps - is also down, as well as Apple Support, meaning it is hard for customers to get help in accessing the services. Earlier today the problems seem to be geographically inconsistent. For example, it's been reported that it's possible to download apps from the Indian App Store, but music tracks are inaccessible. But now Apple has said the outage is affecting all its users across the world, but has yet to respond to MailOnline's request for comment. The App Store was last down on Monday, but the move was intentional as Apple prepared to launch its Apple Watch in San Francisco.

App Store and iTunes users have taken to Twitter to complain they are unable to download songs and apps from Apple's sites . iTunes problem could be costing the company over £2 million an hour . Apple services have been down for eight hours and counting . Company said technical problem was caused by an internal DNS error . An update on Apple's status page has confirmed the problem was global .

The front pages of both the App Store and Mac App Store are accessible, but there are broken pages on the sites when accessing individual apps. Currently some customers simply see a spinning circle indicating that a song is in the process of being downloaded, but nothing happens. Others are shown an error page saying that content cannot be displayed, or that the store is temporarily unavailable and could not complete their request, when they try to download an album. The status page also reveals that some users had problems accessing their iCloud mail this morning and may have been unable to sign in. This morning, Apple's status page claimed that all its services were functioning well - despite there being problems - but it has now been updated to show that the App Store, iTunes Store, Mac App Store and iBooks Store are all 'unavailable to all users' A post from Californian tech giant's Apple Support twitter handle said: 'APP STORE ISSUE: You may be receiving an error this morning. Apple are currently working on this and we do apologise.' In 2014 Apple revealed in that it had made $18.06 billion in revenue from iTunes, including its software and services, making up 10 per cent of Apple's total net sales. If this year's revenues match 2014's, the firm could be losing more than $2 million an hour  - equivalent to $34,000 every minute. London-based social media analyst Tim Grimes tweeted: 'Based on 2014 iTunes Revenue: Apple are losing $34,246 per minute, $2,054,794 per hour the #iTunes store is down.' Seeing as the outage encompasses other services, it could follow that Apple's losses are much higher than this. Tim Cook has previously said that the App Store posted $4.6 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014, which means that firm could also be losing around $2 million an hour, or almost $35,000 a minute. Frustration: In both iTunes and the App store, users simply see a spinning circle indicating that a song or app is in the process of being downloaded, but nothing happens, as shown in the screenshots above . One person tweeted: 'If iTunes doesn't start working within the next two hours I will literally cry...' while another said 'iTunes store has been down for like 2 hours.' A user called MisterDanD said: ' iTunes, App Store is DOWN worldwide, which is screwing up my morning! has someone hacked them? #apple #iTunes' and a user called lightcap wrote: 'Apple's app store is down (for purchasing, not browsing), but the world's most useless site remains useless as ever...' posting a link to the company's status page. Making a humorous reference to Apple's new MacBook, which was unveiled with just one port earlier this week, Twitter user schwarztech said: 'Maybe someone accidentally unplugged the single USB-C cable that the App/iBook Storer runs off of?' The outage appears to have been ongoing for several hours this morning, according to The Next Web, which said that iBooks and in-app purchases can't be accessed. TestFlight - a service used by developers to test apps - is also down, as well as Apple Support, meaning it is hard for customers to get help in accessing the services. Earlier today the problems seem to be geographically inconsistent. For example, it's been reported that it's possible to download apps from the Indian App Store, but music tracks are inaccessible. But now Apple has said the outage is affecting all its users across the world, but has yet to respond to MailOnline's request for comment. The App Store was last down on Monday, but the move was intentional as Apple prepared to launch its Apple Watch in San Francisco.

A Dutch mother has abducted two of her four children and taken them to join militants fighting for the Islamic State terrorist organisation in Syria. The unnamed 32-year-old Chechen national had been living in Maastricht in the southern Netherlands before taking her young son and daughter to ISIS' de facto capital Raqqa. The father of the missing children named the pair as Luca, seven, and his sister Aysha, eight, and said they had been taken without his consent. The woman's two other children are believed to have been handed over to a relative before she left to join the terror group. Abducted: The father of the missing children named the pair as 'Luca', seven, (left) and his sister 'Aysha', eight, (right) and said they had been taken without his consent . The missing woman, who has not yet been named, fled the Netherlands with two of her children last October, the Dutch prosecution's office confirmed this morning. Snatched: Eight-year-old Dutch girl 'Aysha' was abducted by her mother and taken to join ISIS . It is the first known instance of children in the Netherlands being abducted and taken to join ISIS. 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.

Twins Jason and Aaron Clark have always known they are different but the same. While Jason is a high-achieving, sporty and confident 11-year-old, his twin Aaron has Down's Syndrome, delayed speech and deafness. But despite such differences, the brothers from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, have an unbreakable bond that knits them together. Eleven-year-old Jason Clark (right, form Bamsley, South Yorkshire, is very protective of his twin brother Aaron (left), who suffers from Down's Syndrome, delayed speech and deafness . The boys' mum, Lynn Clark, said: ‘They have always been extremely close. They have a very unique and special bond. They aren’t just twin brothers, they are best of mates too. 'I’ve always told them they are very special and have different talents and skills that are unique to themselves. ‘Jason is very protective over Aaron - who looks up to his twin in a big brotherly way.’ And now ever protective Jason has sold all his old toys and books to help his brother’s education. Over the last year he has raised over £400 in a bid to raise funds for the special school Aaron attends. Lynn, a businesswoman, said: ‘He’s had table top sales, a party and placed collection boxes in shops to raise money. ‘And now he is in the process of establishing his own registered charity to carry on supporting the school which means so much to Aaron.’ Entrepreneurial and caring Jason started fundraising as he wanted to give something back to Greenacre School, who have supported Aaron for the last five years. Over the last year Jason has raised over £400 in a bid to raise funds for the special school Aaron attends . Bursting with pride, Lynn said: ‘He has always had such a loving personality and been so protective over Aaron. ‘He told me recently that when he is older he wants to run his own business so he can always look after Aaron. He wants to be able to buy him a house and make sure he has all the care he ever needs. ‘I feel so proud of Jason - he really is a very caring child. ‘When Aaron was younger, his speech was badly affected, so Jason along with ourselves learnt sign language so Aaron could communicate with us. ‘Jason never moaned about it - quite the opposite. He didn’t want Aaron to feel different so enthusiastically learnt the signs. ‘But they have also have their own way of communication - sometimes I can’t quite decipher what Aaron has said, but Jason always knows and will explain for me. ‘I just put it down to the fact that they are twins and incredibly close.’ So Jason’s latest mission to help Aaron doesn’t come as any surprise to Lynn and her husband, Jeff. As the boys mark the 10th anniversary of World Down's Syndrome Day, Lynn said: ‘I wasn’t shocked when he came up with his plan - it’s just his latest way of helping his brother. ‘He initially created a business plan to raise the money. He took it to Aaron’s headmistress to gain her approval and set up a website to promote his charity, Suportthenoun. 'He held a table top sale at his own school, invited his mates around for a party and charged them for refreshments and then asked local shops to display collection boxes.' The boys' mum, Lynn, said: ‘They have always been extremely close. They have a very unique and special bond. They aren’t just twin brothers, they are best of mates too' Jason, who is clearly very keen to support his brother’s school, said: ‘I decided it was a good idea because it does quite a lot for people born with disabilities and I wanted to do something for them. 'It feels really good to help and make a difference. I hope Aaron will be very proud of me.' The money raised will go towards a gardening project for the school. Headteacher Susan Hayter said: 'The money from Jason will help to buy gardening tools and a lawnmower. The plan is for older children to have a chance to run a gardening service and then offer the service to people so they can learn new skills and how to earn money.' Lynn added: ‘We have been completely overwhelmed by Jason's determination and enthusiasm. ‘Jason told us he had lots of toys and books that he no longer needed and wanted to put them to something useful.’ Despite being born a minute after Aaron, Jason has always taken on the big brother role. Lynn recalls: ‘When they were little Jason would always keep a very watchful eye on Aaron. If he fell over in the park, he was the first one to come to his aid and make sure he was okay. ‘And there has been the odd occasion where Aaron has been the victim of nasty comments from other kids. A boy once hit Aaron - Jason immediately jumped to Aaron’s defence and told the lad to leave him alone. ‘On their first day at school, Jason kept a very close eye on Aaron, knowing how hard it would be for him. ‘He made sure he was never alone and that he had everything he needed. And ever since he has been like Aaron’s right-hand man. ‘Despite being far more sporty and academic than his brother, he never lets Aaron feel any different. In fact he constantly encourages and teaches him. ‘Jason is very patient. He has helped teach Aaron how to ride his bike, play football and show him how to use the iPad. He never allows him to be left out of anything. ‘I used to worry about what would happen when Aaron got older, how he would cope with adult life, if he would be able to live independently. But I know now that he will always have Jason to help him and with his brother by his side, he will never be alone in life.’ If anyone would like to help Jason on his fundraising mission they can donate through his website www.suportthenoun.webs.com .

Aaron Clark, 11, has Down's Syndrome, delayed speech and deafness . Twin brother Jason sold his toys and raised money for Aaron's education . Also launched a charity, Suport The Noun, in aid of disabled children . Money will go towards a gardening programme at Aaron's special school .

He didn’t want Aaron to feel different so enthusiastically learnt the signs. ‘But they have also have their own way of communication - sometimes I can’t quite decipher what Aaron has said, but Jason always knows and will explain for me. ‘I just put it down to the fact that they are twins and incredibly close.’ So Jason’s latest mission to help Aaron doesn’t come as any surprise to Lynn and her husband, Jeff. As the boys mark the 10th anniversary of World Down's Syndrome Day, Lynn said: ‘I wasn’t shocked when he came up with his plan - it’s just his latest way of helping his brother. ‘He initially created a business plan to raise the money. He took it to Aaron’s headmistress to gain her approval and set up a website to promote his charity, Suportthenoun. 'He held a table top sale at his own school, invited his mates around for a party and charged them for refreshments and then asked local shops to display collection boxes.' The boys' mum, Lynn, said: ‘They have always been extremely close. They have a very unique and special bond. They aren’t just twin brothers, they are best of mates too' Jason, who is clearly very keen to support his brother’s school, said: ‘I decided it was a good idea because it does quite a lot for people born with disabilities and I wanted to do something for them. 'It feels really good to help and make a difference. I hope Aaron will be very proud of me.' The money raised will go towards a gardening project for the school. Headteacher Susan Hayter said: 'The money from Jason will help to buy gardening tools and a lawnmower. The plan is for older children to have a chance to run a gardening service and then offer the service to people so they can learn new skills and how to earn money.' Lynn added: ‘We have been completely overwhelmed by Jason's determination and enthusiasm. ‘Jason told us he had lots of toys and books that he no longer needed and wanted to put them to something useful.’ Despite being born a minute after Aaron, Jason has always taken on the big brother role. Lynn recalls: ‘When they were little Jason would always keep a very watchful eye on Aaron. If he fell over in the park, he was the first one to come to his aid and make sure he was okay. ‘And there has been the odd occasion where Aaron has been the victim of nasty comments from other kids. A boy once hit Aaron - Jason immediately jumped to Aaron’s defence and told the lad to leave him alone. ‘On their first day at school, Jason kept a very close eye on Aaron, knowing how hard it would be for him. ‘He made sure he was never alone and that he had everything he needed. And ever since he has been like Aaron’s right-hand man. ‘Despite being far more sporty and academic than his brother, he never lets Aaron feel any different. In fact he constantly encourages and teaches him. ‘Jason is very patient. He has helped teach Aaron how to ride his bike, play football and show him how to use the iPad. He never allows him to be left out of anything. ‘I used to worry about what would happen when Aaron got older, how he would cope with adult life, if he would be able to live independently. But I know now that he will always have Jason to help him and with his brother by his side, he will never be alone in life.’ If anyone would like to help Jason on his fundraising mission they can donate through his website www.suportthenoun.webs.com .

Dick Advocaat’s appointment as Sunderland boss seemed complete on Monday night after he told Dutch TV that he had signed a contract until the end of the season. The 67-year-old will sign a short-term deal until the end of the season and his package will be incentivised with the target of survival. Advocaat told Voetbal International: 'I am now in a dark hotel, but soon I'll be working in the Stadium of Light.' Dick Advocaat, pictured here in charge of PSV Eindhoven in 2012, is set to take charge at Sunderland . Gus Poyet has been sacked by Sunderland with the club just one point above the relegation zone . Sunderland supporters turned on manager Poyet after their side were thrashed 4-0 by Aston Villa . 525 - Poyet's number of days in charge since his arrival on October 8, 2013. 75 - The Uruguayan's number of games in charge, winning 23, losing 22 and drawing 30. 3 - The number of games against bitter rivals Newcastle. He won them all with an aggregate of 6-1. 35 - Poyet was the 35th man to manage Sunderland either permanently or as a caretaker. 22 - The number of years between Sunderland's appearances in a major final. Poyet took them to the 2014 Capital One Cup final, 22 years on from their defeat to Liverpool in the FA Cup showpiece. They lost to Manchester City. 14 - Sunderland's final position in Poyet's first season. 4 - The amount of games won in the Premier League by Sunderland this season. The joint-worst with bottom side Leicester. Advocaat could land up to £500,000 if the Black Cats – currently one point above the relegation zone – avoid the drop. He will bring with him Montenegrin coach Zeljko Petrovic, who was Avram Grant's assistant at West Ham in 2010. It is unlikely, however, that Advocaat will be considered as the permanent successor to Gus Poyet, who was sacked yesterday after 17 months at the Stadium of Light. Sportsmail understands that West Ham manager Sam Allardyce and Real Madrid assistant Paul Clement are at the top of the club's shortlist to take charge beyond this season. Clement, in particular, fits the profile of coach who could work within the structure at the club, where sporting director Lee Congerton has control over transfers. Clement and Congerton know each other from their time at Chelsea and the Real No 2 is thought to be keen to try his hand as a manager back in England. Meanwhile, it is Congerton's contacts book which has led to talks with Advocaat. Former Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen – who worked with Advocaat at PSV Eindhoven and Congerton at Stamford Bridge and then Hamburg – has recommended him for the role and he will be installed before Saturday's trip to West Ham. Advocaat could land up to £500,000 if the Black Cats – one point above the drop zone – avoid relegation . 'This is something I always wanted to do, the Premier League. The Premier League is a phenomenal competition,' Advocaat told AD Sportwereld. 'As a manager that is where you want to work, that has such a pulling power. 'Saturday, West Ham awaits. And then there's the international break. And then – the derby with Newcastle United. That is really something to look forward to because believe me, this just is a very big club.' Sunderland owner Ellis Short moved swiftly to dismiss Poyet during a telephone conversation after training on Monday. It is understood the Uruguayan asked for his contract – which expires in 2016 – to be paid up in full after he was informed that his position had become untenable. Zeljko Petrovic, who was Avram Grant's assistant at West Ham in 2010, will work alongside Advocaat . West Ham boss Sam Allardyce could be the long-term successor to Poyet at the Stadium of Light . His assistant Mauricio Taricco and first-team coach Charlie Oatway are also set to leave the club. Former Sunderland favourites and academy coaches Kevin Ball and Paul Bracewell will now be on hand to help at senior level. Short acted on the advice of the influential Congerton and chief executive Margaret Byrne in getting rid of Poyet. They felt there was no way back for the head coach following Saturday's 4-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa. Supporters tried to storm the dugout and also let their feelings be known to those seated in the directors' box. The decision was soon made to dispense with Poyet and contact initiated with Advocaat, who left his post as Serbia national team manager in November after just five months in charge. His first home game will be the visit of North-East rivals Newcastle on Easter Sunday.

A heavily pregnant woman has been hospitalised in France after being assaulted by two men in what her husband claims was an 'Islamophobic act'. One of the attackers hit 29-year-old Kedidja, who was wearing a headscarf, several times and threw her to the ground as she dropped her two children off at school in Toulouse, La Depeche reports. Her husband Munir says they grabbed her hair and pulled at her veil while yelling 'none of that here' at the nine-months-pregnant woman who is due to give birth in mid-April. She is now recovering and her unborn baby is believed to be unharmed, but her husband revealed that she has not stopped crying since the attack on Tuesday morning. Brutal: Two men attacked heavily pregnant Kedidja (not pictured) in Toulouse, France in what her husband denounced as an 'Islamophobic act' He added: 'My wife had just put our two daughters to school, one in kindergarten and one in elementary school. 'Upon leaving, she met two young men. One of them grabbed her hair, pulled on her veil and insulted her. 'After the final few blows and a some more insults - including death threats - the two boys ran away, leaving her extremely shocked.' The assailant's friend reportedly stopped the attack from continuing before the pair shouted racist abuse and threatened to kill her. 33-year-old Munir described himself and his wife as 'French and Muslim' said the men took offence to the headscarf even though she was dressed conventionally in tracksuit bottoms and a jacket. Their local MP Christophe Borgel was outraged after hearing about the attack and claims that it was 'without a doubt' racially motivated. He told The Local: 'I was shocked to learn of this attack. This French woman of Muslim faith was attacked because she was wearing the traditional headscarf.' 'France does not tolerate any kind of racist attack, France will not tolerate any kind of aggression based on the religion of one of its citizens.

The woman tragically suffered a miscarriage but it remained unclear with she lost her baby directly because of the attack. Islamic clothing has been a divisive issue in France and the country banned full-face veils from all public areas in 2010 after outlawing headscarves from all state schools in 2004.

A woman from the seaside town of Hastings who gets £1,100 of benefits a month has labelled the government 'disgusting' for allowing people to live on that amount of money. In the show Benefits Britain, which airs on Channel 5 tonight, a camera crews follows Debbie Merton, 46, who hasn't worked in 24 years and lives in a large council flat on the East Sussex coast. She doesn't reveal the disability that allows her to receive this amount of money every month, but says that it is unlikely she will ever be able to get a job. Scroll down for video . Debbie Merton, who gets a benefits income of just under £1,100 a month and hasn't work in 24 years . While Debbie has been on state handouts for several years, she reveals that as a young woman, she also struggled to find any work because of her lack of skills. She said: 'I tried getting other jobs before I was disabled but couldn't because I had no qualifications, it really winds me up - I get so angry.' She continued: 'It's bloody hard and the government don't really give a s***, they're alright in their posh houses and eating lobster and caviar every night.' 'It's just disgusting how they expect you to live on money and support a house and support yourself.' Debbie, centre, with her partner Pete, right and their friends, left, at one of Debbie's regular dinner parties . Another person who hits the sharp side of Debbie's tongue is the Queen. As Debbie has her neighbours round for dinner and several drinks, she holds court on the British monarch, saying: 'Look at the Queen, she's got Buckingham Palace and God knows how many other f****** properties. 'All her grandchildren and kids have got two, three, four different houses and we're sitting here on the poverty line, eating c**p. while THAT is sitting in her f****** palace, eating pretty, eating swan and everything. 'It winds me up.' Debbie is known for being a socialite in the area and loves having friends over for home-cooked meals and a knees-up. Debbie with one of her pets - a bearded dragon . But her outgoing nature eventually gets the better of her and after one raucous evening too many, she receives a formal warning from her local housing association over loud noise coming from her flat. According to the official letter, her neighbours have complained about fights in her home and loud music being played until the early hours, leading to the police having to be called at 2am. She says: 'We did have a discussion earlier in the evening, but when the police turned up at two in the morning, we were ready for our bed.' 'We're meant to be a community at the end of the day but now I've got a final warning to get out of my flat. 'I'm definitely moving from here, I can't stand it round here.

Another person on the show is single mother Stacey Farrand, 28, from Hastings, who lives in a one-room bedsit with her son Eddie and lives off £56 a week. Stacey is trying her best to move out of her 15 sq ft room and into a two-bedroom house, but can't afford the £800 deposit needed for a new flat. She was employed for several years full-time as a builder until she fell pregnant and she frequently explains to the cameras that she can't wait until she is off benefits again and in employment so that she can give her son the things he needs. She says: 'I'd love to not be on benefits and go back to work. 'If I had the money now, no limited money, I'd get a flat, get Eddie a decent bed, do his bedroom up and then save up to do my driving lessons. 'I need him to have a bed, a room and a bath - he hasn't even experienced a bath yet, only a sink. 'I'm meant to provide for him. 'I want a benefit-free, stress-free life for Eddie, I don't want him to worry about having dinner, where he's going to sleep or whether he's going to have a sheet on his bed. 'This time next year, hopefully we won't be on any benefits and we'll be in a two bedroom flat.' Stacey buys her shopping from the out-of-date bin at her local convenience store . Stacey and her son Eddie live in a 15 sq ft one-room bedsit . She is also adamant that her son Eddie won't ever rely on handouts from the state. She says: 'Eddie's going to be an astronaut or a judge. 'He'll be going to full school, college and university - I want him to have everything. 'When he gets older, he'll have a career and get no benefits.' The programme shows Stacey trying to eke out her £56 a week on food from the out-of-date bin in her local convenience store, and revealing that she once fainted from hunger. She said: 'I've been really hungry - I've passed out on the street before because I haven't eaten.' Towards the end of the programme, Stacey is seen going down to the council offices to apply for a larger place for to live with her son. But the housing offices are unable to help and she walks away empty-handed, back to the room where she is forced to bathe her son in a sink because she doesn't have a bath.

She said: 'I tried getting other jobs before I was disabled but couldn't because I had no qualifications, it really winds me up - I get so angry.' She continued: 'It's bloody hard and the government don't really give a s***, they're alright in their posh houses and eating lobster and caviar every night.' 'It's just disgusting how they expect you to live on money and support a house and support yourself.'

As Debbie has her neighbours round for dinner and several drinks, she holds court on the British monarch, saying: 'Look at the Queen, she's got Buckingham Palace and God knows how many other f****** properties. 'All her grandchildren and kids have got two, three, four different houses and we're sitting here on the poverty line, eating c**p. while THAT is sitting in her f****** palace, eating pretty, eating swan and everything. 'It winds me up.' Debbie is known for being a socialite in the area and loves having friends over for home-cooked meals and a knees-up. Debbie with one of her pets - a bearded dragon . But her outgoing nature eventually gets the better of her and after one raucous evening too many, she receives a formal warning from her local housing association over loud noise coming from her flat. According to the official letter, her neighbours have complained about fights in her home and loud music being played until the early hours, leading to the police having to be called at 2am. She says: 'We did have a discussion earlier in the evening, but when the police turned up at two in the morning, we were ready for our bed.' 'We're meant to be a community at the end of the day but now I've got a final warning to get out of my flat. 'I'm definitely moving from here, I can't stand it round here.

Another person on the show is single mother Stacey Farrand, 28, from Hastings, who lives in a one-room bedsit with her son Eddie and lives off £56 a week. Stacey is trying her best to move out of her 15 sq ft room and into a two-bedroom house, but can't afford the £800 deposit needed for a new flat. She was employed for several years full-time as a builder until she fell pregnant and she frequently explains to the cameras that she can't wait until she is off benefits again and in employment so that she can give her son the things he needs. She says: 'I'd love to not be on benefits and go back to work. 'If I had the money now, no limited money, I'd get a flat, get Eddie a decent bed, do his bedroom up and then save up to do my driving lessons. 'I need him to have a bed, a room and a bath - he hasn't even experienced a bath yet, only a sink. 'I'm meant to provide for him. 'I want a benefit-free, stress-free life for Eddie, I don't want him to worry about having dinner, where he's going to sleep or whether he's going to have a sheet on his bed. 'This time next year, hopefully we won't be on any benefits and we'll be in a two bedroom flat.' Stacey buys her shopping from the out-of-date bin at her local convenience store . Stacey and her son Eddie live in a 15 sq ft one-room bedsit . She is also adamant that her son Eddie won't ever rely on handouts from the state. She says: 'Eddie's going to be an astronaut or a judge. 'He'll be going to full school, college and university - I want him to have everything. 'When he gets older, he'll have a career and get no benefits.' The programme shows Stacey trying to eke out her £56 a week on food from the out-of-date bin in her local convenience store, and revealing that she once fainted from hunger. She said: 'I've been really hungry - I've passed out on the street before because I haven't eaten.' Towards the end of the programme, Stacey is seen going down to the council offices to apply for a larger place for to live with her son. But the housing offices are unable to help and she walks away empty-handed, back to the room where she is forced to bathe her son in a sink because she doesn't have a bath.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage said an Indian NHS doctor almost killed him by failing to diagnose his cancer . Nigel Farage has launched an astonishing attack on the National Health Service accusing doctors of 'incompetence and negligence' over their failure to diagnose his cancer. The controversial politician developed cancer in his 20s and said an Indian doctor tried to convince him he had an infection even though his left testicle had swollen to the size of a rock hard lemon. The Ukip leader claimed he was 'fobbed off by one NHS doctor to the next', and, without private health insurance, he would 'probably be dead'. Writing in his memoir, The Purple Revolution, which is being serialised in the Telegraph, Farage wrote: 'Several doctors examined me - registrars, locums, all that lot - and they came to the conclusion that I had a twisted testicle. I would need an immediate operation, they said. I was taken by ambulance to hospital in Farnborough, Hampshire, where I was re-examined by another four doctors. It was pretty painful. 'An Indian doctor told me that the Bromley doctors had got it all wrong: I had an infection. I was to go home and take a heavy dose of antibiotics. I did not need an operation after all. A few weeks went by and the pain was just as bad. All the time, my left testicle was getting markedly larger.' Mr Farage said that six weeks later he was having difficulty walking and his 'left testicle was as large as a lemon and rock hard'. But despite being in a 'terrible state' a consultant directed him to ''keep taking the antibiotics' and sent him away. Eventually Mr Farage said he sought an opinion from a private consultant who diagnosed cancer. Scroll down for video . After being told he was covered by company health insurance he went for private treatment and was swiftly informed he had a tumour and would need to have a testicle removed. Mr Farage told how he was 'terrified' when doctors told him he may have secondary tumours in his stomach and lungs. More than 30 years on, recounting the period 'makes me upset', he added. On the day of the 2010 general election, Mr Farage said a plane crash during a publicity stunt and an earlier car crash has left him with the body of a 70-year-old.d. Mr Farage, pictured, revealed that one of his testicles had swollen up to the size of  large rock hard lemon . Mr Farage, pictured after a plane crash on election day in 2010 admitted the NHS was good in emergencies . After the air accident Mr Farage was told that he could be signed off as partially disabled but having a blue badge would be ' conceding defeat'. ' I remember thinking, 'so this is it, this is how it ends',' he said of the air crash. 'When people say that their life flashed before them when they thought they were about to die, it is rubbish. 'All I could think of was how much there was I still wanted to do and the impact my death would have on others - my girls were still so little and the boys were only just finding their way in the world.' He added: ' Having nearly died three times has made me a much bigger risk-taker. When you think your life is about to be taken away and you are given it back, you just want to get on and do things. 'There's no time to waste: children to bring up, elections to win, pheasants to pluck, wine to drink.' The Ukip leader accused other political parties of being afraid of criticising the NHS . He has also taken the opportunity in his memoir to attack the other major Westminster political parties over their fear of criticising the NHS. He said that he is 'better qualified to criticise and defend our health care system than most politicians'. Mr Farage praised the NHS for being 'astonishingly good' at emergency critical care but claims the NHS will 'probably let you down' over screening and a fast diagnosis. He said the system is 'so over-stretched that if you can afford private health care, you should take it' and warned that the NHS ' is so battered and poorly run that unless you are really lucky, you will fall through the cracks'. 'There are huge problems with the NHS, deep structural ones, but, as I have said, I know more than most what that means on a personal level,' he wrote. 'When I had cancer, the incompetence and negligence of the NHS almost killed me, but it has also saved my life. I am certainly not taking any flak from gutless politicians who claim that I am no fan or supporter of the NHS.'

Death by drugs: Luke Goodman, 23, died in Colorado over the weekend after he took too many marijuana edibles and shot himself in the head . 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). Goodman's mother fears her son didn't read the warning label on the candies, which say the effects can take hours to kick in. Scroll down for video . Too much: Goodman's cousin Caleb Fowler says he ate five peach tart edibles, which is five times the suggested dosage. Above a stock image of a peach tart edible. It's unclear the specific brand Goodman ingested . Several hours later, Goodman's behavior changed drastically and he became jittery, incoherent and started talking nonsensically. 'He would make eye contact with us but didn’t see us, didn’t recognize our presence almost. He had never got close to this point, I had never seen him like this,' Fowler said. Apparently unaware of his serious condition, Fowler left Goodman in the condo to hop in the hot tub with other members of their vacation party. Only his cousin's mother was in the apartment, when Goodman grabbed his handgun, which he traveled with for protection, and shot himself. The single shot was fired just five minutes after Fowler left Goodman to use the hot tub. The Summit County Coroner says toxicology reports due back in a few weeks will shed more light on the edibles impact on Goodman's death. However, his family are certain that it was the edibles and edibles alone are what caused their son to take his own life. Out of character: Goodman's parents say she was a happy young man who never showed signs of depression of suicidal thoughts before the tragic incident on Saturday . 'It was completely out of character for Luke...there was no depression or anything that would leave us being concerned, nothing like that,' Mrs Goodman said. 'I was very, very close to him,' Mrs Goodman added to Daily Mail Online. 'He would share heart and soul with me.' Mrs Goodman says her son had just graduated from Oral Roberts University in December with a degree in marketing and had his whole life ahead of him. She says he had been going to the gym five or six days a week, working out for the snowboarding trip with his cousins who were some of his best friends. 'He was such a well-adjusted young man,' Mrs Goodman told us. 'He lit up people's world.' Goodman was certainly well loved, since his Facebook page was flooded with heartbroken notes from friends and family on his passing. 'Luke, your light shined so bright to everyone you came in contact with. I know your legacy will shine even brighter. You were hated by no one and loved by all. That smile and the joy you carried with you was contagious,' one friend wrote.

(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 find just to explore. Some broke into computer networks at companies. Others told printers at hospitals hundreds of miles away to just spit out paper. And the first digital hangouts came into being. Hackers met on text-only bulletin board systems to talk about phreaking, share computer passwords and tips. The 1983 movie "War Games" depicted this very thing, only the implications were disastrous. In it, a teenager in Washington state accidentally taps into a military computer and nearly brings the world to nuclear war. It's no surprise, then, that the FBI was on high alert that year, and arrested six teenagers in Milwaukee -- who called themselves the 414s, after their area code -- when they tapped into the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a nuclear weapon research facility. Nationwide fears led the U.S. Congress to pass the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in 1986. Breaking into computer systems was now a crime of its own. The damage of hacking started getting more serious, too. In 1988, the government's ARPAnet, the earliest version of the Internet, got jammed when a Cornell University graduate student, curious about the network's size, created a self-replicating software worm that multiplied too quickly. The next year, a few German hackers working for the Russian KGB were caught breaking into the Pentagon. In 1990, hacker Kevin Poulsen rigged a Los Angeles radio station's phone system to win a Porsche, only to be arrested afterward. The cat-and-mouse game between law enforcement and hackers continued throughout the 1990s. Some hacked for money. Russian mathematician Vladimir Levin was caught stealing $10 million from Citibank. Others did it for revenge. Tim Lloyd wiped the computers at Omega Engineering in New Jersey after he was fired. But hacks were still more of an annoyance than anything devastating, though it was quickly becoming apparent that the potential was there. The stock market, hospitals, credit card transactions -- everything was running on computers now. There was a bone-chilling moment when a ragtag group of hackers calling themselves L0pht testified before Congress in 1998 and said they could shut down the Internet in 30 minutes. The danger was suddenly more real than ever. The ethos was starting to change, too. Previously, hackers broke into computers and networks because they were curious and those tools were inaccessible. The Web changed that, putting all that stuff at everyone's fingertips. Money became the driving force behind hacks, said C. Thomas, a member of L0pht who is known internationally as the hacker "Space Rogue." An unpatched bug in Windows could let a hacker enter a bank, or a foreign government office. Mafias and governments were willing to pay top dollar for this entry point. A totally different kind of black market started to grow. The best proof came in 2003, when Microsoft started offering a $5 million bounty on hackers attacking Windows. "It's no longer a quest for information and knowledge by exploring networks. It's about dollars," Thomas said. "Researchers are no longer motivated to get stuff fixed. Now, they say, 'I'm going to go looking for bugs to get a paycheck - and sell this bug to a government.' " Loosely affiliated amateurs were replaced by well-paid, trained professionals. By the mid-2000s, hacking belonged to organized crime, governments and hacktivists. First, crime: Hackers around the world wrote malicious software (malware) to hijack tens of thousands of computers, using their processing power to generate spam. They wrote banking trojans to steal website login credentials. Hacking payment systems turned out to be insanely lucrative, too. Albert Gonzalez's theft of 94 million credit cards from the company TJX in 2007 proved to be a precursor to later retailer data breaches, like Target, Home Depot and many more. Then there's government. When the United States wanted to sabotage the Iranian nuclear program in 2009, it hacked a development facility and unleashed the most dangerous computer virus the world has ever seen. Stuxnet caused the Iranian lab computers to spin centrifuges out of control. This was unprecedented: a digital strike with extreme physical consequences. Similarly, there's proof that Russia used hackers to coordinate its attack on Georgia during a five-day war in 2008, taking out key news and government websites as tanks rolled into those specific cities. Then there are hacktivists. The populist group Anonymous hacks into police departments to expose officer brutality and floods banks with garbage Internet traffic. A vigilante known as "The Jester" takes down Islamic jihadist websites. What exists now is a tricky world. The White House gets hacked. Was it the Russian government or Russian nationalists acting on their own? Or freelance agents paid by the government? In the digital realm, attribution is extremely difficult. Meanwhile, it's easier than ever to become a hacker. Digital weapons go for mere dollars on easily accessible black markets online. Anonymity is a few clicks away with the right software. And there are high-paying jobs in defending companies like Google or JPMorgan Chase -- or attacking them. As a result, law enforcement tolerance for hacking has fallen to zero. In 1999, the hacker Space Rogue exposed how FAO Schwarz's website was leaking consumer email addresses and forced the company to fix it. He was cheered. When Andrew Auernheimer (known as "weev") did the same thing to AT&T in 2010, he spent more than a year in prison until his case was overturned on a technicality. The days of mere curiosity are over.

The concept of "hacking" began nearly 50 years ago at MIT . In the '80s, hackers wanted to make technology work better . The story of '80s teen hackers busted by the FBI is featured on cnn.com/shortfilms .

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 find just to explore. Some broke into computer networks at companies. Others told printers at hospitals hundreds of miles away to just spit out paper. And the first digital hangouts came into being. Hackers met on text-only bulletin board systems to talk about phreaking, share computer passwords and tips. The 1983 movie "War Games" depicted this very thing, only the implications were disastrous. In it, a teenager in Washington state accidentally taps into a military computer and nearly brings the world to nuclear war. It's no surprise, then, that the FBI was on high alert that year, and arrested six teenagers in Milwaukee -- who called themselves the 414s, after their area code -- when they tapped into the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a nuclear weapon research facility. Nationwide fears led the U.S. Congress to pass the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in 1986. Breaking into computer systems was now a crime of its own. The damage of hacking started getting more serious, too. In 1988, the government's ARPAnet, the earliest version of the Internet, got jammed when a Cornell University graduate student, curious about the network's size, created a self-replicating software worm that multiplied too quickly. The next year, a few German hackers working for the Russian KGB were caught breaking into the Pentagon. In 1990, hacker Kevin Poulsen rigged a Los Angeles radio station's phone system to win a Porsche, only to be arrested afterward. The cat-and-mouse game between law enforcement and hackers continued throughout the 1990s. Some hacked for money. Russian mathematician Vladimir Levin was caught stealing $10 million from Citibank. Others did it for revenge. Tim Lloyd wiped the computers at Omega Engineering in New Jersey after he was fired. But hacks were still more of an annoyance than anything devastating, though it was quickly becoming apparent that the potential was there. The stock market, hospitals, credit card transactions -- everything was running on computers now. There was a bone-chilling moment when a ragtag group of hackers calling themselves L0pht testified before Congress in 1998 and said they could shut down the Internet in 30 minutes. The danger was suddenly more real than ever. The ethos was starting to change, too. Previously, hackers broke into computers and networks because they were curious and those tools were inaccessible. The Web changed that, putting all that stuff at everyone's fingertips. Money became the driving force behind hacks, said C. Thomas, a member of L0pht who is known internationally as the hacker "Space Rogue." An unpatched bug in Windows could let a hacker enter a bank, or a foreign government office. Mafias and governments were willing to pay top dollar for this entry point. A totally different kind of black market started to grow. The best proof came in 2003, when Microsoft started offering a $5 million bounty on hackers attacking Windows. "It's no longer a quest for information and knowledge by exploring networks. It's about dollars," Thomas said. "Researchers are no longer motivated to get stuff fixed. Now, they say, 'I'm going to go looking for bugs to get a paycheck - and sell this bug to a government.' " Loosely affiliated amateurs were replaced by well-paid, trained professionals. By the mid-2000s, hacking belonged to organized crime, governments and hacktivists. First, crime: Hackers around the world wrote malicious software (malware) to hijack tens of thousands of computers, using their processing power to generate spam. They wrote banking trojans to steal website login credentials. Hacking payment systems turned out to be insanely lucrative, too. Albert Gonzalez's theft of 94 million credit cards from the company TJX in 2007 proved to be a precursor to later retailer data breaches, like Target, Home Depot and many more. Then there's government. When the United States wanted to sabotage the Iranian nuclear program in 2009, it hacked a development facility and unleashed the most dangerous computer virus the world has ever seen. Stuxnet caused the Iranian lab computers to spin centrifuges out of control. This was unprecedented: a digital strike with extreme physical consequences. Similarly, there's proof that Russia used hackers to coordinate its attack on Georgia during a five-day war in 2008, taking out key news and government websites as tanks rolled into those specific cities. Then there are hacktivists. The populist group Anonymous hacks into police departments to expose officer brutality and floods banks with garbage Internet traffic. A vigilante known as "The Jester" takes down Islamic jihadist websites. What exists now is a tricky world. The White House gets hacked. Was it the Russian government or Russian nationalists acting on their own? Or freelance agents paid by the government? In the digital realm, attribution is extremely difficult. Meanwhile, it's easier than ever to become a hacker. Digital weapons go for mere dollars on easily accessible black markets online. Anonymity is a few clicks away with the right software. And there are high-paying jobs in defending companies like Google or JPMorgan Chase -- or attacking them. As a result, law enforcement tolerance for hacking has fallen to zero. In 1999, the hacker Space Rogue exposed how FAO Schwarz's website was leaking consumer email addresses and forced the company to fix it. He was cheered. When Andrew Auernheimer (known as "weev") did the same thing to AT&T in 2010, he spent more than a year in prison until his case was overturned on a technicality. The days of mere curiosity are over.

Smiling alongside a health minister at a Norfolk maternity unit in 2013, this new mother is still being chased for the £3,000 it cost the NHS to help her give birth. Zimbabwe-born Caroline Nyadzayo’s unpaid bill is part of the £62million cost of ‘health tourism’ to Britain. The 34-year-old, an advertising executive in Africa, was pictured with health minister Daniel Poulter on his visit to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital when the maternity suite was reopened. New mother: Zimbabwe-born Caroline Nyadzayo (left) was pictured with health minister Daniel Poulter (right) on his visit to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in the maternity suite . The mother said she complained to Mr Poulter about the charge and said she was under huge pressure to pay it. But Mr Poulter has reportedly said he does not remember being told that. Miss Nyadzayo, now in Harare, told The Sunday Times it was ‘unfair’ she was still being pursued, because the baby’s father is British. She said: ‘I know the system may believe I travelled [to Britain] to abuse the NHS benefits, but as a matter of fact I just wanted to have my first baby as a family and surely everyone is entitled to that.’ The couple were questioned about the birth when they entered Britain at Norwich Airport in October 2013. However, they were released when they agreed they would be paying for it. Discussion: The mother said she complained to Mr Poulter at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (pictured) about the charge and said she was under huge pressure to pay it . Miss Nyadzayo said: ‘I was told because I was 31 weeks pregnant it was likely I was going to use the NHS to my advantage. We said we would pay for the birth. But we had no idea how much we’d be charged.’ Her case was profiled as figures suggested hospitals’ failure to claw back the cost of treating Europeans is costing taxpayers millions of pounds a week. The so-called ‘health tourism gap’ between the amount the NHS collects from EU patients and the total hospitals on the continent receive from Britain has soared to almost £700million. It means the UK is now paying out £15 for the healthcare costs of Britons who fall ill abroad for every £1 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 £500million from foreigners annually by 2017/18.

(CNN)It's the Internet bromance that's electrified China. Two men from different worlds — a BuzzFeed editor from New York and a man in southern China known as "Brother Orange" — have united dramatically after social media helped them bond over a stolen iPhone. Matt Stopera, 27, was greeted with bouquets of flowers, hordes of photographers and screaming fans as he arrived in Meizhou, southern China Wednesday, embracing Li Hongjun -- a restaurant owner who somehow came across the iPhone that Stopera lost in New York over a year ago. Li doesn't speak English and Stopera doesn't speak Chinese — but Chinese social media users are convinced they are soul mates. The star-crossed pair first connected when Stopera noticed strange photos in his iCloud image gallery of a man taking selfies with an orange tree. Confused, Stopera took to the Internet to see if anyone knew who the mysterious man was. The story went viral in China, where Internet users banded together to search for the stranger, who they nicknamed Brother Orange. That man was Li, from Guangdong province, who was snapping pics with Stopera's old iPhone without realizing the photos were being uploaded to the BuzzFeed writer's cloud account. With the mystery solved, thousands of Chinese Internet users demanded a "happy ending" and clamored for the two men to meet. Brother Orange made the first move. "Matt, I welcome you to come to Meizhou and try some local food," he said on Weibo, China's microblogging platform. That post was "liked" over 12,000 times. Matt quickly accepted. "Everybody wants me and Brother Orange to unite," he told CNN last month. While Stopera waited for his visa to be approved, the two swapped messages -- Stopera began learning Mandarin phrases, while Brother Orange posted videos of himself learning English. But when they finally met, the smiles and hugs said it all. According to images posted to social media, the two spent their first hours in China eating noodles and walking around tourist sites. They also planted a tree together. Chinese Internet users were over the moon. "Matt crossed the ocean to meet you, how touching!" said one. "It really is an international bromance." Another put it simply: "I wish you a happy ever after." CNN's Shen Lu contributed reporting.

New role? Home Secretary Theresa May, pictured leaving 10 Downing Street last week after attending the final cabinet meeting of this parliament . Theresa May is being lined up to become Foreign Secretary, tasked with clawing back powers from Brussels, it emerged today. David Cameron is said to be considering promoting the Home Secretary to lead the fight to overhaul Britain’s membership of the European Union. The Prime Minister has made clear that if he is returned to Downing Street after the election he wants talks on EU reform to begin immediately. The Tories are going into the election campaign as the only party promising to renegotiate EU membership before holding an in-out referendum by the end of 2017. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has visited almost every European capital in a bid to build support for his call for reform. Now it has emerged that the Prime Minister is considering handing the plumb job to Mrs May, according to the Independent on Sunday. She would be seen as 'Britain’s answer to Angela Merkel', government sources say. Mr Cameron yesterday hailed Mrs May as a 'brilliant' Home Secretary who had cut crime and 'told Abu Hamza to sling his hook'. Foreign Office insiders insist there is growing support for the reforms called for by Mr Cameron. It includes curbing access to benefits for migrants, ending child benefit being exported to families overseas and tighter controls on families coming to Britain. Close ties with Mrs Merkel are seen as vital. 'Five years ago you could get a senior official to go to Paris or Washington but not Berlin,' a senior source told MailOnline. 'But now the relationship with Germany is on a more formal footing, and Merkel had made clear she wants us to stay.' However, securing agreement on a referendum after the election could prove difficult. Colleagues: PM David Cameron (left) hailed Mrs May (right) as a 'brilliant' Home Secretary who had cut crime . Lib Dems leader Nick Clegg accused the Tories of dancing a 'hokey cokey where one day they want to leave, the next day they don't want to leave'. Speaking at his campaign launch in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, he said: 'We are unambiguous as a party that says "yes, Europe needs to be reformed, yes there needs to be a referendum when a decision needs to be made about the transfer of powers to the European Union, we guaranteed that in law". Many trips: Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has visited almost every European capital in a bid to build support for his call for EU reform . 'We are not like the Conservative Party, half of whom are straining at the leash to leave. We think that would be a terrible thing for the British economy.' He added: 'Of course it would be an economic act of self harm to leave the European Union. 'Large parts of the Conservative Party and Ukip appear to want Britain to cut itself off from what is the world's largest marketplace with hundreds of millions of customers for British goods and services. 'For me it's stating the flaming obvious that we need to secure Britain's presence at the heart of the European Union in the same way it's flaming obvious that we should secure the British economic recovery by finishing the job of balancing the books but doing it in a fair and sensible way - not taking an ideological approach to cuts, which is the Conservative approach, nor taking such an irresponsible approach to borrowing, which is Labour's approach.'

An illegal immigrant was sliced to death by a ferry's 'machete-like' propellor after launching a bid for freedom across the North Sea to avoid deportation. 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 northerly tide at about the point where the men jumped. This, combined with a sea temperature of about 7C, meant the conditions were virtually unsurvivable, he said. 'It may have been that the were used to warmer and less tidal waters in their home country and this gave them a false sense of security that they could make it,' he added. Giles Young, senior officer with Border Force at Harwich International Port, revealed that the men had been part of a routine deportation and immigrants, during which they are treated like ordinary passengers on the return journey and not put in handcuffs. He said: 'This is not a case of being marched on in handcuffs. 'During the process, neither offered any verbal or physical resistance to being moved onto the vessel.' He added that the organisation saw 'a lot of these particular cases'. 'The same people will turn up two or three times,' he said. 'We have individuals this year who are already on their second attempt and it is only March. It's a carousel system.' Pathologist Dr Ian Calder, who performed a post-mortem examination on Mr Doda, described his injuries saying: 'This was a very forceful cut across the vertebrae by a sharp, curved blade. 'It is the sort of injury you would get from a machete. 'This would be quite compatible with the sharp blade of a propeller.' Coroner Eleanor McGann recorded a conclusion that both men died accidental deaths. She said: 'On face value it is easy to conceive of a situation where they jumped off the ferry in their desperation intending to drown, but there is no evidence of that. 'The evidence suggests they were intending to swim back to England, something that they could see was tantalisingly close to them. 'In fact they did not know about the effect of a moving ship on somebody who jumps over the side, and they were sucked underneath.' Mrs McGann said it was difficult to make recommendations to the Government based on this case. 'This is all part of a bigger picture on immigration and how it's handled, and nothing I could say could help prevent such sad deaths in future,' she added. The Stena Britannica is one of the largest Superferries in the world and can cater for up to 1,200 passengers. Speaking after the hearing, Mr Isufaj's cousin, Besnik Vata, 33, from north London, said the case highlighted the plight of many other immigrants . He added: 'They had come to the UK for better a life and it seems they were determined to stay. 'We heard that they weren't escorted on board the ship so there was always a risk this would happen - if I was in that position I would have done the same. 'There are lots of people in the same situation and they are just desperate. 'I think there should be better security to stop this happening because they're not just immigrants, they are people too.'

<s>[INST] An illegal immigrant was sliced to death by a ferry's 'machete-like' propellor after launching a bid for freedom across the North Sea to avoid deportation. 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.

(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 see the passage of the time, the human footprint. "These places had a very strong coercive role, people had to stop the car and the policeman had to ask you who you are, you showed your passport, maybe you had to open your bags. The police had the power to not let you go on. "It's interesting to me, looking at these places now they are a little bit spooky, because at most of them you can feel this ghostly atmosphere." The frontier buildings range in size and style, from giant Soviet declarations of authority that loom over major highways to tiny huts in deep, dark forests. Europe's richer countries tend to maintain old posts, while less wealthier states seem content to let them deteriorate, Evangelista says. Some, he says, are gone completely, marked only on maps and located using GPS trackers or by talking to locals. A strong supporter for an open Europe at a time when some of the continent's nations are talking about severing the close economic and political bonds they share with their neighbors, Evangelista recalls one encounter that underscored the human side to his project. While setting up his camera at a checkpoint on the Austria-Hungary frontier, he watched as a man drove in from the Austrian side and parked, followed by a woman, two minutes later, from the Hungarian side. "They began to speak and they were kissing very much. After 10 minutes they went back their separate ways, and I thought, before the Schengen agreement, this couple had no future."

A new video shows the terrifying moment a film crew rushed to save the life of Oscar-winner William Hurt. The crew of the Gregg Allman biopic Midnight Rider can be seen dashing to get him off the tracks of a railroad bridge, along with their equipment, as he lay across the railway filming a scene in Georgia while a train rushes towards him and the crew at breakneck speed. The other actor in the scene, Wyatt Russell, can also be seen trying to scramble out of the train's path. Hurt and Russell somehow made it to safety. But, several crew members suffered injuries. Camera assistant Sarah Elizabeth Jones was tragically killed. She was just 27 years old. Scroll down for videos .

The film's director Randall Miller (above with wife Jody Savin) pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and will serve two years in prison . The video also shows the crew desperately trying to get a bed off the track, which Hurt was laying on during the scene as they filmed a dream sequence while Russell played the guitar. Russell, the son of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, can be seen clearly in the video as he flees with a guitar still on his back. Footage taken just before the tragic incident unfolded was later edited and cut into a scene. It would have been used in the film if production hadn't been stopped. Two weeks ago, the film's director, Randall Miller, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespassing and will serve two years in a county jail and eight years probation while also paying a $20,000 fine. Executive producer Jay Sedrish also pleaded guilty to the same charges and received 10 years probation. 'We hope the sacrifice of our daughter's life will continue to change the film industry,' Jones' father, Richard Jones, told reporters outside the courthouse. 'I believe it sends a message, frankly, that if you do not respect those you're in charge of, you may end up behind bars.' In addition, Hillary Schwartz, an assistant director on the film, was also convicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespassing and also received 10 years probation. Charges against Miller's wife and business partner, Jody Savin, were dropped as part of his plea. Prosecutors said all three defendants knew that CSX Transportation, which owned the trestle spanning the Altamaha River, had denied them permission in writing to film on its tracks. 'It was a horrible tragedy that will haunt me forever,' Miller said in a statement provided by a publicist. 'Although I relied on my team, it is ultimately my responsibility and was my decision to shoot the scripted scene that caused this tragedy.' Hurt (above) won the Best Actor Oscar in 1986 for Kiss of the Spider Woman . Assistant District Attorney John B. Johnson said Miller and the other filmmakers even attempted to rewrite the script to drop the scene they planned to shoot with actor William Hurt, in the role of Allman, in a hospital bed placed on the tracks. Miller decided to shoot the scene anyway, Johnson said, after the owner of the property surrounding the tracks said the movie crew could access its land. He said Miller and his crew went onto the railroad bridge after mistakenly thinking no more trains would pass that day. The train, traveling at 55mph, smashed into a metal-framed bed on the tracks, sending shrapnel flying as crew members scrambled for safety and clung to the bridge's metal railing high above the Altamaha River. After his plea was accepted, Miller followed a sheriff's deputy from the courtroom to begin his two-year sentence at the Wayne County jail. He also agreed to serve an additional eight years on probation and pay a $20,000 fine. Miller's attorney, Ed Garland, said he expects the director could be released from jail within a year. He said Miller accepted the plea deal to prevent prosecution of his wife, who left the courthouse in tears. Garland said the filmmaker never intended to put his crew at risk.

Filming was immediately suspended, and many in the industry began a push for better safety regulations in the aftermath of the tragedy. A group called Slates for Sarah also began putting the words RIP Sarah Jones on film slates in her memory on programs including Girls, Scandal, Parks and Recreation, The Leftovers, Parenthood, Glee, The Mindy Project, Revenge and The Vampire Diaries, a show on which Jones had previously worked as an assistant.

Of all the terrible things a single mother has endured since discovering a malignant tumour in her breast, one of the worst was how to explain to her young daughter that she had cancer. 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.' Mother and daughter pictured after one of Ebba's chemo sessions when she started to lose her hair . Ebba tried to make her hairloss fun for her daughter so it was less traumatic for them both . Since her diagnosis, Ebba and Lena have found 'The Clouds toolkit' a useful resource to help them through the incredibly difficult time. Created by the Fruit Fly Collective using money raised through Red Nose Day, the resource pack provides invaluable guidance to parents on how to talk to their children about what cancer is and the treatments and side-effects involved. Designed by psychotherapists and artists, it includes puppets, photos and illustrations which help families share their emotions and gain a greater understanding of what lies ahead. As Ebba explains, children often need reassurance about issues that adults wouldn't usually consider - like whether cancer is contagious - and are most alarmed by the hair loss caused by chemotherapy. 'When we initially talked about it, Lene was most concerned about hair loss, I still remember her eyes looking big and shocked when I told her my hair would fall out,' Ebba said. 'She was also worried about catching cancer and I found her looking for lumps.' When Ebba did start to lose her hair, she found a way to make it less traumatic for Lene. She said: 'They say it's good to take control before it starts so I looked online for nice head scarves and in a funny way I was looking forward to wearing them. 'It meant that when it happened it was a big event but not too traumatic for me. But Lene found my hair loss very tough to deal with, very disconcerting. Ebba wearing a scarf, left, and wig, right, her daughter helped her choose following her chemo . 'I'd decided I was going to shave my hair off so we had a little party and my daughter cut my hair. I invited a few friends and we had drinks and biscuits. Lene took the scissors and then everyone else got involved.' Thanks to eight gruelling chemotherapy cycles, two operations, and forthcoming radio therapy, Ebba is getting better and hopes to make a full recovery. She said: 'Now from what they can see it looks like the primary cancer is gone and I should be cancer free. But it's hard to say I'm cured because some of the cancer cells may have survived and escaped into the rest of my body so I'll have annual check-ups and hope for the best.' Ebba said it's been a difficult time for both her and Lene but she has felt proud of the way her daughter has adapted and coped. She said: 'I'm amazed at how calm Lene has been all the way through. When I had my first cycle we were all very scared and she papered my bedroom with get well cards. 'She has always tried to cheer me up and encouraged me to look nice. She pressed me to get a wig, to put on a nice dress and make-up so I would feel better. 'She reads to me and when I've been really sick and tired she sits next to me and draws very quietly instead of jumping across the furniture like she normally would. 'Like most mothers, the thought of dying and leaving my daughter is really hard to deal with. But one thing I've learned through all this is that she is extremely adaptable and would be okay.' The Clouds toolkit, pictured, gives parents with cancer information on how to support their children . For any other parents who find themselves in the same terrible situation, Ebba has the following advice: 'I think it's really important to let children get involved and have an active role as much as they can. 'All of the things Lene has done have made her feel part of things. Just like adults, if children feel included and are able do something to help it gives them an important feeling of having some control over their situation.' She added: 'I think being honest is also really important. Children already know when something is up, they sense the emotional temperature and see the hugs and furtive conversations so you can't lie to them, especially if they are older child as they might get upset when they find out. You don't want to fall apart in front of them but don't totally hide what you're feeling either, let them be part of your journey.' She also recommends the The Clouds resource pack which is available via www.fruitflycollective.com. Ebba said: 'It was really brilliant. From a kid's perspective it's like a treasure box and it was nice to have something Lene could open and explore. 'It was a massive help to learn about things and I think it's really important to be honest with children because healthy communications help families get through cancer more easily. Lene kept her mother's spirits up with get well cards like this one she created . Lene wrote her experiences down in a book to hep her deal with them, like when she helped Ebba chose a wig . Lene's story, which she wants to sell to raise money, shows how they coped when Ebba's hair fell out . 'It was a great way to kick off the conversation. I gave this box to my child and she opened it. There were things for her to play with and it really helped to explain to her about the good and bad cells. 'It turned into a game and the whole thing was very relaxed, which is the beauty of it because it doesn't feel like a big deal. It's also been really useful to have something to refer back to when we've been talking about things later on.'

<s>[INST] Of all the terrible things a single mother has endured since discovering a malignant tumour in her breast, one of the worst was how to explain to her young daughter that she had cancer. 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.' Mother and daughter pictured after one of Ebba's chemo sessions when she started to lose her hair . Ebba tried to make her hairloss fun for her daughter so it was less traumatic for them both . Since her diagnosis, Ebba and Lena have found 'The Clouds toolkit' a useful resource to help them through the incredibly difficult time. Created by the Fruit Fly Collective using money raised through Red Nose Day, the resource pack provides invaluable guidance to parents on how to talk to their children about what cancer is and the treatments and side-effects involved. Designed by psychotherapists and artists, it includes puppets, photos and illustrations which help families share their emotions and gain a greater understanding of what lies ahead. As Ebba explains, children often need reassurance about issues that adults wouldn't usually consider - like whether cancer is contagious - and are most alarmed by the hair loss caused by chemotherapy. 'When we initially talked about it, Lene was most concerned about hair loss, I still remember her eyes looking big and shocked when I told her my hair would fall out,' Ebba said. 'She was also worried about catching cancer and I found her looking for lumps.' When Ebba did start to lose her hair, she found a way to make it less traumatic for Lene. She said: 'They say it's good to take control before it starts so I looked online for nice head scarves and in a funny way I was looking forward to wearing them. 'It meant that when it happened it was a big event but not too traumatic for me. But Lene found my hair loss very tough to deal with, very disconcerting. Ebba wearing a scarf, left, and wig, right, her daughter helped her choose following her chemo . 'I'd decided I was going to shave my hair off so we had a little party and my daughter cut my hair. I invited a few friends and we had drinks and biscuits. Lene took the scissors and then everyone else got involved.' Thanks to eight gruelling chemotherapy cycles, two operations, and forthcoming radio therapy, Ebba is getting better and hopes to make a full recovery. She said: 'Now from what they can see it looks like the primary cancer is gone and I should be cancer free. But it's hard to say I'm cured because some of the cancer cells may have survived and escaped into the rest of my body so I'll have annual check-ups and hope for the best.'

Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Jessica Ennis-Hill’s burgeoning rivalry has all the ingredients to propel athletics into the spotlight in a similar manner to the Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett clashes which captivated sports fans in the 1980s. ‘They could have a rivalry like Steve and I had,’ said Lord Coe. ‘Head-to-heads are what get people excited. My kids got up at the weekend to watch Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. The more opportunities we have for athletes going head-to-head, the better. It’s what people talk about. ‘It’s actually not just the thought of Jess and Kat but you have Morgan Lake, too, coming through and I’m sure she will be equally good. It’s an extraordinary period to be entering.’ Katarina Johnson-Thompson won the World Indoor's in Prague, Czech Republic to become world No 1 . Jessica Ennis-Hill is the Olympic Champion and her future rivalry with Johnson-Thompson is 'exciting' Johnson-Thompson, 22, is the World’s No 1 hept-athlete and broke Ennis-Hill’s British record at the European Indoor Championships in Prague this month. Her blistering form — coupled with murmurs from the Ennis-Hill camp that her training for a comeback after the birth of son Reggie is going very well — has set the scene for a mouthwatering duel. The pair are understandably keen to play down talk of a rivalry, Johnson-Thompson out of reverence for the Olympic champion of whom she claims to be ‘in awe’ and Ennis-Hill because she is unsure what competitive shape she will be in. But those charged with promoting the sport are keen to make the most of the fact that Britain boasts the world’s two leading multi-eventers. They were expected to compete against each other for the first time since London 2012 — when Johnson-Thompson was 15th — at the Hypo-Meeting at the end of May, when the world’s leading heptathletes descend on the Austrian alpine town Gotzis. But Brendan Foster revealed to Sportsmail that he is trying to set up a head-to-head for earlier that month at the Great CityGames in Manchester. Lord Sebastian Coe wants the heptathletes to have an exciting duel like he did with Steve Ovett in the 1980s . ‘Kat has already agreed to do the 200 metres hurdles and long jump,’ said Foster. ‘Jess was invited to take part in the same events and soundings are favourable from her. ‘With heptathlon they might only battle it out twice a year but if sport in Britain is to benefit from the rivalry that is going to be inevitable between these two then they should compete against each other a couple more times head-to-head in one, two or three events. It’s in their interests and very much in the sport’s interest.’ Both Johnson-Thompson and Ennis-Hill, 29, have the World Championships in Beijing this summer as their primary aim and will probably be joined by 17-year-old Lake, who has surpassed anything either of them achieved at the same age. Johnson-Thompson and Ennis-Hill are friends off the track despite the well speculated competition . Lord Coe and Ovett were great rivals in the 80s and provided huge entertainment for the athletics world . With 12 years spanning their ages the three are unlikely ever to stand on the podium together but Lord Coe thinks that they can transform the image of a sport that increasingly seems to command the spotlight only when a new doping scandal emerges. ‘Those three can really help engage, particularly with young girls where the challenge is to get them involved in sport,’ he said. ‘Stars like Kat and Jess are important for the sport. They are from normal backgrounds, they haven’t come out of some kind of super-schools, they are like the kids next door and that is really important so that people can identify with them.’ The Morrisons Great Newham London Run takes place on Sunday, July 19 and gives you the chance to run on the track and cross the finish line in the Olympic Stadium.

A Brazilian teenager died when a game of Russian roulette went badly wrong, the men accused of killing her have claimed. Natalia Jeane Germano, 19, died instantly after being shot in the head whilst at the house of a friend. It has been claimed that Natalia dared one of her pals to pull the trigger when he was pointing a gun at her - and did not realise the chamber was loaded. Killed: Natalia Jeane Germano, 19, died instantly after being shot in the head whilst at the house of a friend in Maringá, Brazil . Dumped: Her friends claim she was killed when a game of Russian roulette went tragically wrong - but her mother Maria says she does not believe their version of events . She was missing for two days before her body was discovered hidden in bushes last Saturday in the city of Maringá in the southern state of Parana. Three men have been arrested and charged with her death, but they have told police it was a tragic accident after a game of Russian roulette went tragically wrong. But her heartbroken mother Maria José Germano told local media she did not believe that her daughter's death was an accident and claimed the house she died in was a drug den. Mrs Germano said her unemployed daughter had attended a job interview on the morning of the day she disappeared. Two days later, her body was found wrapped in a plastic bag on wasteland in the north of the city and she had a single bullet hole in her head. She said: 'I do not believe this story that she died in this game. The house where she died was a drugs point.' Mrs Germano added: 'She was mouthy and may have made some sort of comment and was killed. 'My daughter was not a drug trafficker and did not use drugs. What she did wrong was get involved with this kind of friendship. 'In addition to killing my daughter, they threw her body in a bush like a dog. This hurt me too much, it will be with me forever.' Popular: Natalia's friends shared pictures and messages of support after she had gone missing last week . Location: The body of Natalia Jeane Germano was found in the city of Maringa in the southern state of Parana in Brazil . The three suspects were charged with aggravated murder, concealment of the body, drug trafficking and trafficking association.

The National Rifle Association has taken aim at former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords just as she is seeking to push for bipartisan legislation on gun safety. Giffords spoke on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and called for expanded criminal background checks on all commercial firearms sales including at gun shows and internet sales.

Giffords spoke on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and called for expanded criminal background checks on all commercial firearms sales including at gun shows and internet sales . The tweet, sent to the organization's 264,000 followers, included a link to an article published on the right-wing Breitbart website that argued that background checks don't reduce gun violence . Giffords was shot in the head in an assassination attempt by crazed gunman Jared Loughner. He murdered six and wounded 18 other people, including Giffords, when he opened fire at an event near Tucson, Arizona in 2011. The tweet, sent to the organization's 264,000 followers, included a link to an article published on the right-wing Breitbart website that argued that background checks don't reduce gun violence. The story noted that Loughner had passed a background check. 'Stopping violence takes courage,' said Giffords on Wednesday. 'Now is the time to come together and be responsible. Democrats, Republicans, everyone. We must never stop fighting.' Giffords won a tremendous amount of public sympathy and admiration for her brave fightback from serious injury and up until now the NRA has refrained from attacking her.

'Personal attacks on Twitter are not going to stop her from working hard every single day to pass common sense gun safety laws that save lives.' 'The NRA's brazen response is as predictable as it is pathetic,' said Rep. Kathleen Rice, who is among the co-sponsors of the bill. She called the attack 'blatant fear-mongering and desperate intimidation' aimed at derailing common-sense laws. Supporters of the law say that even though the likes of Loughner passed background checks, a uniform federal requirement would help stop many other dangerous people from buying gun and reduce gun violence rates. 'No one can deny the fact that it will help prevent violent criminals from buying guns,' Rice said.

The remains of a woolly mammoth that died 10,000 years ago have been unearthed in Siberia by oil workers. 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.

<s>[INST] The remains of a woolly mammoth that died 10,000 years ago have been unearthed in Siberia by oil workers. 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.

Kris Boyd has insisted that even Jose Mourinho himself would have struggled to change Rangers’ fortunes if he were in charge at Ibrox. After their dismal 1-1 draw at home to Livingston on Saturday, the Govan club languish in third position in the Championship table – 24 points behind runaway leaders Hearts – and face an uphill task if they are to secure promotion via the end-of-season play-offs. However, Boyd believes that with the club now on its third manager of a farcical season, the time has come for all those on the playing staff to give themselves a brutal reality check – before they end up costing yet another man his job. Manager Stuart McCall puts Rangers, third in the Championship, through their paces in training . Boyd said it would not matter if Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (pictured) was in charge at Ibrox . ‘We’re now on our third manager and it gets to the stage where you have to ask questions of the players,’ said Boyd, ahead of Rangers’ league meeting with Alloa on Tuesday night at Ibrox. ‘It doesn’t matter if you were to go and bring in Jose Mourinho – he would still have the same players to deal with. ‘Sometimes it can help when a new manager arrives and is looking at it from a different angle - a fresh eye. But, ultimately, it’s the same players going out on the pitch and if we’re being brutally honest, it’s us who need to get a grip. ‘We can sit and say we’ve got international players in the dressing room but, at the end of the day, we haven’t performed and two managers have lost their job because of that, so we need to start winning games of football. ‘It can’t be all the manager’s fault. That’s why we need to look ourselves in the mirror and ask if we’ve done enough. I can safely say that I don’t feel as if I have. And I’m 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 . ‘We 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’s only excuses. We haven’t performed on the pitch and that’s the bottom line.’ 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: ‘I’ve been in the situation myself when you turn up at Ibrox or Parkhead and you’re already beaten. They might have won 4-0 or 5-0 the week before and you look around you and think: “Oh no”. ‘But that’s not the case any more. Teams are coming with confidence and have seen that we’ve been weak. Previously, it was only European teams who didn’t change their game for Rangers - but teams now aren’t worrying about us. ‘Livingston came at the weekend and got the ball down and passed it crisply. They deserved their point. They might have lost five games previously, but they probably looked at us as being weak and tried to get in our faces.’

Sir Anthony's net worth has been estimated at over £2.8billion by Forbes. The family is also behind the popular Daylesford Organics food brand. Alice is no stranger to Los Angeles having dabbled in Hollywood when she co-produced Wes Anderson's modern classic The Darjeeling Limited. She was also formerly a show-jumper, and previously owned her own record label in the early 2000s. More recently, she has run an organic farm and restaurant, One Gun Ranch, in Malibu. Completely unaware that one of the world's most famous families were going to be caught in her family snap, Alice can be seen with a wide smile, even slightly distracted by the view behind. When caught off guard by Alice at the high-profile establishment, Kim's famous family didn't appear to be quite the picture of domesticated bliss that the reality TV star would like you to believe. While the Keeping Up With The Kardashians personality may be no stranger to a selfie, it won't be the type of flattering snap that she's used to as she was pictured reaching down to pick something up from the floor. Alice Bamford, pictured with her mother Lady Carole, is heiress to a vast fortune . Alice Bamford might not compare to the Kardashian-West family in terms of global fame but the JCB heiress has certainly led a fascinating life. The 39-year-old is the daughter of billionaire Sir Anthony Bamford and his wife, Lady Carole, OBE. Sir Anthony's net worth has been estimated at over £2.8billion by Forbes. The family is also behind the popular Daylesford Organics food brand, the namesake of the farm in Gloucestershire where Alice grew up. Alice is no stranger to Los Angeles having dabbled in Hollywood when she co-produced Wes Anderson's modern classic The Darjeeling Limited. She was also formerly a show-jumper, and previously owned her own record label in the early 2000s. More recent ventures include One Gun Ranch, which Alice purchased in 2010. The Malibu farm and restaurant supplies bio dynamic organic produce using 'compost-improved soil'. It also offers tours to Los Angeles' inner-city children. A fatigued Kim was in full mummy mode as North wriggled around in her high chair at the table. Meanwhile Kanye, looked transfixed by the mum-of-one appearing to grimace as he watched his wife reach under the table with a stern look on her face. After all, 37-year-old rapper Kanye had spent the afternoon pandering to their toddler as they played on the sands in Malibu. Kanye was beach-ready in a sleeveless vest - albeit in black - with practical trainers while Nori looked cute in a pair of denim shorts and a white vest. Most of Kim's most intimate moments from the last seven years - from her pregnancy to her 2013 divorce - have been documented on her E! reality show with sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie, as well as mother and manager Kris and step father Bruce Jenner. Kim is usually partial to a few photograph filters to brighten or smooth her skin and has even been accused of using Photoshop to alter the appearance of her famous figure in the pictures she's posted. But this particular moment was perhaps the most candid of them all when she and her husband of one year were captured in their most raw form. Polished as always, Kim was arguably unsuitably dressed for a day on the sand on Sunday. She had dressed up in her strappy sandals and a military green midi dress, which clung to her famous curves, deciding to watch her daddy and daughter duo from the restaurant, outside her car. Her hair was looking slightly frazzled after treating it to a third dye job this week to keep the platinum shade from revealing her brunette roots. She had her hair, which she has referred to as a 'full-time job' recently, pulled back into a low-fuss ponytail at the nape of her neck. And as if styled for a red carpet appearance, Kim was carrying a snakeskin clutch bag in her hands, which was far from a traditional baby bag used to tote everything a 21-month-old might need for a day at the beach. Kim may be a style icon to some, but her younger half sister Kylie Jenner has admitted that Nori is actually her main source of fashion inspiration. Speaking to Star! magazine recently, the youngest of the Jenner family said of her icons: 'To keep it in the family, I love Kim and Kanye’s style. 'They definitely inspire me. North probably inspires me the most. Kim and Kanye – I’m obsessed with their style! Kim’s always in the latest stuff, so I always look to her for advice. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian seemed unaware that they'd been caught in someone else's photo . Adorable: Kanye acted like the doting dad as he spent time by the sea with Nori on Sunday afternoon . Mum mobile: Kim was seen in her car in California on Monday and appeared to be chatting on her phone as she sat at the wheel . Busy bee: The mum of one was recognisable just by her peroxide locks as she peeped over the steering wheel .

She was also formerly a show-jumper, and previously owned her own record label in the early 2000s. More recently, she has run an organic farm and restaurant, One Gun Ranch, in Malibu. Completely unaware that one of the world's most famous families were going to be caught in her family snap, Alice can be seen with a wide smile, even slightly distracted by the view behind. When caught off guard by Alice at the high-profile establishment, Kim's famous family didn't appear to be quite the picture of domesticated bliss that the reality TV star would like you to believe. While the Keeping Up With The Kardashians personality may be no stranger to a selfie, it won't be the type of flattering snap that she's used to as she was pictured reaching down to pick something up from the floor. Alice Bamford, pictured with her mother Lady Carole, is heiress to a vast fortune . Alice Bamford might not compare to the Kardashian-West family in terms of global fame but the JCB heiress has certainly led a fascinating life. The 39-year-old is the daughter of billionaire Sir Anthony Bamford and his wife, Lady Carole, OBE. Sir Anthony's net worth has been estimated at over £2.8billion by Forbes. The family is also behind the popular Daylesford Organics food brand, the namesake of the farm in Gloucestershire where Alice grew up. Alice is no stranger to Los Angeles having dabbled in Hollywood when she co-produced Wes Anderson's modern classic The Darjeeling Limited. She was also formerly a show-jumper, and previously owned her own record label in the early 2000s. More recent ventures include One Gun Ranch, which Alice purchased in 2010. The Malibu farm and restaurant supplies bio dynamic organic produce using 'compost-improved soil'. It also offers tours to Los Angeles' inner-city children. A fatigued Kim was in full mummy mode as North wriggled around in her high chair at the table. Meanwhile Kanye, looked transfixed by the mum-of-one appearing to grimace as he watched his wife reach under the table with a stern look on her face. After all, 37-year-old rapper Kanye had spent the afternoon pandering to their toddler as they played on the sands in Malibu. Kanye was beach-ready in a sleeveless vest - albeit in black - with practical trainers while Nori looked cute in a pair of denim shorts and a white vest. Most of Kim's most intimate moments from the last seven years - from her pregnancy to her 2013 divorce - have been documented on her E! reality show with sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie, as well as mother and manager Kris and step father Bruce Jenner. Kim is usually partial to a few photograph filters to brighten or smooth her skin and has even been accused of using Photoshop to alter the appearance of her famous figure in the pictures she's posted. But this particular moment was perhaps the most candid of them all when she and her husband of one year were captured in their most raw form. Polished as always, Kim was arguably unsuitably dressed for a day on the sand on Sunday. She had dressed up in her strappy sandals and a military green midi dress, which clung to her famous curves, deciding to watch her daddy and daughter duo from the restaurant, outside her car. Her hair was looking slightly frazzled after treating it to a third dye job this week to keep the platinum shade from revealing her brunette roots. She had her hair, which she has referred to as a 'full-time job' recently, pulled back into a low-fuss ponytail at the nape of her neck. And as if styled for a red carpet appearance, Kim was carrying a snakeskin clutch bag in her hands, which was far from a traditional baby bag used to tote everything a 21-month-old might need for a day at the beach. Kim may be a style icon to some, but her younger half sister Kylie Jenner has admitted that Nori is actually her main source of fashion inspiration. Speaking to Star! magazine recently, the youngest of the Jenner family said of her icons: 'To keep it in the family, I love Kim and Kanye’s style. 'They definitely inspire me. North probably inspires me the most. Kim and Kanye – I’m obsessed with their style! Kim’s always in the latest stuff, so I always look to her for advice. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian seemed unaware that they'd been caught in someone else's photo . Adorable: Kanye acted like the doting dad as he spent time by the sea with Nori on Sunday afternoon .

The families of victims of the Germanwings plane crash face a wait of up to four months for the remains of their loved ones to be identified, it has emerged. The Head of the Criminal Research Institute at France's National Gendarmerie said DNA identification of the victims would take two to four months.

And he was being treated by a psychotherapist, Dusseldorf prosecutor's office spokesman Christoph Kumpa said.

In a season when Manchester United’s aspirations have been peeled away like layers of an onion, the only goal left is qualification for the Champions League. It is enough to make even the steadfast shed a tear. Thrashed in the Capital One Cup by League One MK Dons and dumped out of the FA Cup by one of their own, United were never even in the Premier League title race. Entry back into Europe’s elite competition would represent a positive campaign however. The minimal requirement, undoubtedly, but a mark of improvement nonetheless. Something to look forward to. Manchester United have not beaten a team in the top half of the Premier League since Liverpool in December . Failure to finish in the top four would be pretty disastrous though. Without the extra commitment of a European campaign and having held a healthy lead in this run at one stage, falling late would ask serious questions of Louis van Gaal. It would probably mean entry into the Europa League instead – a nightmare scenario adding games in a competition United would rather avoid entirely. The continent’s purgatory. United face a difficult run-in, with 10 games to define their season. Four of their next five matches are against the top six but Van Gaal’s side have not beaten a team currently in the top half of the table since December. Here,Sportsmail assesses their chances. Man United vs Tottenham (March 15) Reverse fixture: 0-0 . A struggle for life, is how Van Gaal termed the second half of the sides’ dour draw at White Hart Lane on December 28. A repeat would be intolerable not only to watching fans but in the table. United must win, and beware Harry Kane. The 21-year-old striker already has 26 goals to his name this season - more than the supposedly stellar line-up of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao have managed for United combined. Besides, Mauricio Pochettino's men have Champions League ambitions of their own, and will be desperate for a victory over one of their chief rivals for the top four. Prediction: 2-1 United . Manchester United train ahead of their crunch Premier League clash against Tottenham on Sunday . Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Radamel Falcao are all smiles despite their side's recent struggles . Football data analysts BSports believe a Manchester United home win is easily the most likely outcome . March 15: Tottenham (home) March 22: Liverpool (away) April 4: Aston Villa (home) April 12: Man City (home) April 18: Chelsea (away) April 26: Everton (away) May 2: West Brom (home) May 9: Crystal Palace (away) May 16: Arsenal (home) May 24: Hull (away) Liverpool vs Man United (March 22) Reverse fixture: 3-0 United . The match at Old Trafford sparked Liverpool’s remarkable resurgence into the Champions League hunt. This game could prove the deciding factor. Brendan Rodgers has his side buoyant and Anfield will be bouncing. Van Gaal should douse the flames with his selection. But, with Philippe Coutinho rampant, Raheem Sterling offering pace and dynamism simply not seen in United's team and Daniel Sturridge now back in action after injury,the Dutchman will need a tactical masterstroke to pull off victory. This is arguably the fiercest rivalry in the land as England's two most successful clubs go head-to-head. Anfield will be rocking with the added incentive that Van Gaal's head could be on the block if he fails to finish in the top four. Prediction: 1-1 . Man United vs Aston Villa (April 4) Reverse fixture: 1-1 . Tim Sherwood led Spurs to victory in his previous visit to Old Trafford as a manager, and Villa are showing signs of vibrancy under his charge. They need points for survival and will fight all the way for it. Surely United will have too much quality though. Could arguably be the easiest fixture in United's run-in. But, as we've seen these last two seasons, anything is possible in the post-Fergie era. Prediction: 2-0 United . Man United vs Man City (April 12) Reverse fixture: 1-0 City . Sergio Aguero got the decisive goal at the Etihad on an afternoon Chris Smalling lost his head and City were denied three clear penalties. Manuel Pellegrini’s team have not often been at their best since, but their firepower can be awesome when focused on the right target. Such as their biggest rivals. This will be a third Manchester derby at Old Trafford at this stage in three consecutive seasons. City have won the past two. 6-1, anyone? United have rarely got near their noisy neighbours in recent years. And City's focus could be entirely focused on overhauling Chelsea's Premier League lead after their likely Champions League elimination in Barcelona. But Old Trafford will not stand for their men surrendering as meekly as during last season's grim 3-0 defeat. Prediction: 1-1 . Sergio Aguero is likely to cause the United defence problems in next month's Manchester derby . Chelsea vs Man United (April 18) Reverse fixture: 1-1 . Robin van Persie’s late equalising goal got Old Trafford to its feet and hoping a turning point had been found. It proved to be a false dawn and Chelsea have eased away at the top. Out of Europe, Jose Mourinho’s side are unlikely to lose focus as their hunt for the title reaches its closing moments. Men like John Terry, Nemanja Matic and Diego Costa will surely not let that happen, and the Blues' mixture of power, pace and potency should see them too good for United. PSG did, however, expose chinks in Chelsea's armour. Whether Angel Di Maria, Ashley Young et al are strong enough to pierce those gaps is another matter, . Prediction 2-1 Chelsea . Eden Hazard has been Chelsea's stand out player this season as they bid to recapture the title . Everton vs Man United (April 26) Reverse fixture: 2-1 United . Radamel Falcao appeared like a tiger to pounce for the winning goal at Old Trafford but the once-feared predator has experienced the wilderness since. Defeat at Goodison Park did for David Moyes last season although the ground does hold happier memories for United. But Everton are in a scrap themselves. Defeat this weekend and a victory for QPR or Burnley could leave Roberto Martinez's men just three points off the dreaded drop zone. Surely that would be the wake-up call Everton need to spark their season into life at long last. Prediction: 1-1 . Romelu Lukaku could cause United problems if he can carry his European form into the Premier League . Man United vs West Brom (May 2) Reverse fixture: 2-2 . Twice United came from behind to salvage a point at the Hawthorns, with Daley Blind’s measured effort the point-clincher. West Brom are a tougher nut to crack these days under Tony Pulis but the need for victory will weigh heavy on the hosts. The Baggies were also one of the teams to spring a shock at Old Trafford last season, when Saido Berahino and Morgan Amalfitano stunned David Moyes. Expect Berahino to score at Old Trafford again, but United to have the edge with more to play for than their visitors. Prediction: 2-1 United . Tony Pulis has transformed West Brom's fortunes and his side will be a stern test for United in May . Crystal Palace vs Man United (May 9) Reverse fixture: 1-0 United . Juan Mata, remember him? The Spaniard popped up for the winner in the season’s earlier game, an example of United at their most stubborn - performing poorly but still grinding out a win. Another illustration at Selhurst Park would do just fine. But that is easier said than done, with Alan Pardew having galvanised Palace since his return to Selhurst Park. Silencing the Eagles' ferocious home support in a big game towards the end of the season is no easy task - just ask Liverpool. But surely Van Gaal can squeeze a win here. Prediction: 1-0 United . Juan Mata scored the only goal of the game when United hosted Crystal Palace earlier in the season . Man United vs Arsenal (May 16) Reverse fixture: 2-1 United . A smash and grab to make John Dillinger blush, United stole three points from the Emirates in a game they ought to have lost. Angel Di Maria and Wayne Rooney showed a fleeting impression of understanding too. Arsenal have since shown that they know how to win at Old Trafford, thanks to the Danny Welbeck-inspired win in the FA Cup on Monday in which United struggled to get break down their opponents and were outfought as well as out-thought. But Monday's FA Cup defeat has pained United. That Welbeck was the man to deliver the knockout blow stings even more. Expect revenge. Prediction: 2-1 United . Danny Welbeck scored the winner as Arsenal dumped United out of the FA Cup earlier this week . Hull vs Man United (May 24) Reverse fixture: 3-0 United . The last time United visited the KC Stadium on the final day Sir Alex Ferguson fielded an inexperienced side having wrapped up the title and with a Champions League final against Barcelona on the horizon. How times have changed. Steve Bruce’s side could be safe by then and less motivated. But if they're not, this fixture becomes loaded full of danger - for both sides. You would back the United of old to win this encounter every time, but can you say the same about Van Gaal's version? Prediction: 1-0 United . Total predicted points: 74. United won the title with just one point more in 1996/97 but the parameters have shifted since then. Last year under Moyes they finished seventh on 64 points, while Arsenal came fourth on 79. Close call on whether 74 would be enough this time.

Manchester United's only remaining goal is to finish in the top four . The club have been absent from European competition this season .

A married couple who were so desperate to be parents they sold all their valuables to fund costly fertility treatment finally have the baby of their dreams - after winning a competition. Chris and Amanda Schlatter, from Nevada, had tried unsuccessfully for 12 years to fall pregnant, attempting to conceive naturally - even experimenting with fertility-boosting yoga hanging upside down after intercourse. But after finding themselves broke after almost a decade of unsuccessful attempts, the pair ended up winning the chance to have a baby in a competition run by an IVF charity - and this week celebrate the second birthday of their son Noah. Chris and Amanda Schlatter, from Nevada, celebrate their son Noah's 2nd birthday this week . Noah, pictured newborn, was conceived after Chris wrote a heartfelt plea to the charity Babyquest explaining the couples years of fertility struggles . After starting to after visiting a fertility clinic in December 2009, tests found Mr Schlatter had low testosterone levels and Mrs Schlatter was diagnosed with endometriosis, a polycystic ovary and a blocked fallopian tube. The couple started IUI – intrauterine insemination – which involves separating out the fastest moving sperm and placing them in the womb. But the costly treatment meant they were forced to sell possessions in their home to cover the $10,000 (£6000) cost. 'We became so desperate to get pregnant we sold everything of value in our home, to fund the IUI,' Mrs Schlatter, 30, said. Amanda and Chris on their wedding day: 'When I married my wife my intention was to give her the world, but instead we have known struggle' Chris said in his prize-winning letter . Left: The couple when they first met; Right: Pictured recently with Noah as he turns two . 'With each treatment I hoped we'd get pregnant. And when each one failed we'd pin our hopes on the next. But we had six goes and none of them were successful. 'My wife and I have seen hardships but none greater than what we currently face. 'In the first months of our relationship Amanda and I would sit and talk for hours about our future children. 'Our initial failures did not alarm us, our panic did not begin until we'd been trying several years. 'We understood conceiving a baby can sometimes take more time for some than others.

'He wrote about our struggle to conceive and about how heart-breaking it had been for us with every negative pregnancy test.' Incredibly, two months later, in April 2012, the couple got the call to say they'd won the funding. And less than a year later, in March 2013, their son Noah was born.

Speaking of her struggle to fall pregnant naturally, Mrs Schlatter continued: 'It just didn't happen naturally for us. So we tried natural treatments. I took vitamins and did yoga to boost my fertility. 'I even hung upside down, any stupid thing that was suggested, to get me pregnant. 'We tried not to worry, but as our friends started having families we couldn't help it. 'Our sex life became like a military operation. Each day I'd take my temperature, and work out which day of the month I'd be most fertile. Then we'd take time off work specifically to try and conceive. 'Having sex stopped being romantic.

During their plight to be parents, Mrs Schlatter admits convincing herself that she was pregnant every time her period was late, and whenever she had an ache or pain, she put it down to a symptom of pregnancy. The mum-of-one, said: 'Every month another test would be negative and I'd make excuses, like I'd tested too early, and try again. 'We did hundreds of tests and they were always negative. It seemed like the one thing I wanted I couldn't have. I was ashamed that I couldn't do what a woman is supposed to do, or give my husband what he wanted.' The couple, who celebrate Noah's 2nd birthday this week, are due to start the process of trying to get pregnant again, with the embryos created during their winning IVF treatment. Mrs Schlatter added: 'We have nothing but thanks for the charity who've made our family possible. Noah is our miracle baby, and we hope now to give him a brother or sister. 'Without winning that treatment, Chris and I would still be struggling to have a baby and still going through all that heartache. We really couldn't be more thrilled that we won. Noah is by far the best prize we could've hoped for.' The mum-of-one, said: 'Every month another test would be negative and I'd make excuses, like I'd tested too early, and try again.

<s>[INST] A married couple who were so desperate to be parents they sold all their valuables to fund costly fertility treatment finally have the baby of their dreams - after winning a competition. Chris and Amanda Schlatter, from Nevada, had tried unsuccessfully for 12 years to fall pregnant, attempting to conceive naturally - even experimenting with fertility-boosting yoga hanging upside down after intercourse. But after finding themselves broke after almost a decade of unsuccessful attempts, the pair ended up winning the chance to have a baby in a competition run by an IVF charity - and this week celebrate the second birthday of their son Noah. Chris and Amanda Schlatter, from Nevada, celebrate their son Noah's 2nd birthday this week . Noah, pictured newborn, was conceived after Chris wrote a heartfelt plea to the charity Babyquest explaining the couples years of fertility struggles . After starting to after visiting a fertility clinic in December 2009, tests found Mr Schlatter had low testosterone levels and Mrs Schlatter was diagnosed with endometriosis, a polycystic ovary and a blocked fallopian tube. The couple started IUI – intrauterine insemination – which involves separating out the fastest moving sperm and placing them in the womb. But the costly treatment meant they were forced to sell possessions in their home to cover the $10,000 (£6000) cost. 'We became so desperate to get pregnant we sold everything of value in our home, to fund the IUI,' Mrs Schlatter, 30, said. Amanda and Chris on their wedding day: 'When I married my wife my intention was to give her the world, but instead we have known struggle' Chris said in his prize-winning letter . Left: The couple when they first met; Right: Pictured recently with Noah as he turns two . 'With each treatment I hoped we'd get pregnant. And when each one failed we'd pin our hopes on the next. But we had six goes and none of them were successful. 'My wife and I have seen hardships but none greater than what we currently face. 'In the first months of our relationship Amanda and I would sit and talk for hours about our future children. 'Our initial failures did not alarm us, our panic did not begin until we'd been trying several years. 'We understood conceiving a baby can sometimes take more time for some than others. We needed to try harder but nothing worked. 'After several failed attempts the heartbreak became more intense.

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. Because he does not have the means to get to these countries, he will wage war against the British government here instead, he said, adding that it would give the authorities "a taste of there (sic) own medicine." Ziamani admitted writing the letter and was arrested on suspicion of committing a terrorism offense. He was released on bail, allowing police to continue their inquiries. Police believe he converted to Islam in April 2014 and point to his postings on social media as evidence of his rapid radicalization. In May he posted "Land of democracy = Evil," and in July he posted, "Forget the protests, the only way to liberate Muslim lands is Jihad." On June 20, Ziamani had used his phone to visit websites researching the locations for army cadet bases across London, police said. While Ziamani was out on bail, officers tasked with trying to divert vulnerable young people from the path to radicalization tried to meet with him three times, but he declined to engage with them, police said. Commander Richard Walton of the Counter Terrorism Command welcomed the sentence, saying he was "relieved an extremely dangerous individual" had been removed from the streets. "Ziamani was an impressionable young man who became radicalized, then rapidly developed an extremist, violent mind-set," Walton said. The work of police and intelligence officials had "probably prevented a horrific terrorist attack taking place on the streets of London," he said.

A dominatrix based in Scotland is challenging a new law in Northern Ireland that will make it illegal to pay for sex. 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 the UK to ban payment for sex between consenting adults. Laura says she is a dominatrix providing a 'girlfriend experience' The so-called 'Swedish model' – which makes it illegal to buy sex, but not to sell it – has been heavily criticised by groups including the World Health Organisation and Amnesty International. They say there's no evidence it works and that, instead, it causes real harm to women. Police in Northern Ireland are not backing the legislation and the justice minister, David Ford, has said to will be hard to enforce. Importantly, a Department of Justice commissioned survey revealed that 98 per cent of sex workers are opposed to the law. 'Even women who've suffered terribly within the trade agreed that sometimes what's needed is refuge and rehab not the criminalisation of clients,' Laura said. The law is being brought in as a solution to sex trafficking, although the Department of Justice report suggested that less than 1 percent of those involved in the sex trade had been forced into it. Last year, there were no recorded incidents of sex trafficking in Northern Ireland but there were 70 recorded incidences of violence against sex workers. Laura is worried this violence is about to increase as women are forced to work in more isolated areas and clients refuse to give out personal details over fear of arrest. The main fear is of an increase in violence and vulnerability as women are forced to work in more isolated areas and clients refuse to give out personal details over fear of arrest . 'Lord Morrow has effectively said that he really couldn't care less about the welfare of sex workers,' she said. Once the law comes in, the crusading dominatrix and her team of expert lawyers will take their case first to Northern Ireland's High Court and finally to the European court of human rights. The team will challenge the legislation on several articles. They are hoping to prove that Lord Morrow's law contravenes the European Convention on Human Rights, including the rights to privacy, health and protection from degrading treatment. The law may even flout the human right to life. If prostitution becomes more hidden and dangerous, Laura has no doubt that deaths will follow. 'Sex workers are going to suffer,' she said. 'I witnessed the effects of the 1993 legislation when I was working in Dublin. As soon as legislation came in making it an offence to solicit, violence against sex workers skyrocketed and it wasn't too long before [21-year-old sex worker] Sinead Kelly was stabbed to death by a client.' Last year, a similar law was proposed in the UK by MP Fiona Mactaggart. But after a campaign by the English collective of Prostitutes (ECP), the Sex Worker Open University and the Women's Institute the bill was dropped without even going to a vote. Laura Watson of the ECP said they are behind Laura Lee's fight in Northern Ireland. 'Internationally, sex workers are challenging discriminatory prostitution laws which force us to work in isolation and increased danger,' she said. 'Legal challenges, spearheaded by sex workers, are a vital tool in our armoury to win justice and protection.'

It went down at 10:53 a.m. (5:53 a.m. ET) in a remote area near Digne-les-Bains in the Alpes de Haute Provence region. All aboard are presumed dead. Helicopter crews found the airliner in pieces, none of them bigger than a small car, and human remains strewn for several hundred meters, according to Gilbert Sauvan, a high-level official in the Alpes de Haute Provence region who is being briefed on the operation. Authorities were not able to retrieve any bodies Tuesday, with the frozen ground complicating the effort. Wednesday may not be much easier, with snow in the forecast. Spanish and German officials moved to join hundreds of French firefighters and police in the area, working together to help in the recovery effort and try to figure out exactly what happened. As of Tuesday evening, there were few clues. One of the aircraft's data recorders, the so-called black boxes, has been found, according to French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, but it was too early to tell what it would say about the crash. "We don't know much about the flight and the crash yet," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said. "And we don't know the cause." Relatives of those believed to be on the flight, fearing the worst, gathered at the Barcelona airport, where a crisis center was set up. French authorities set up a chapel near the crash site. Lufthansa Group said the company will look after the relatives of those on board. "There will be a contact center established in France; relatives who would like to take advantage of this will be transferred to the contact center at no cost -- and their accommodation paid for -- just as soon as the center has been established," Lufthansa said. Those aboard included a "high number of Spaniards, Germans and Turks," according to Spain's King Felipe VI. Germanwings CEO Thomas Winkelmann said it's believed 67 people, or nearly half those on the plane, are German citizens. Germanwings crash: Who was on the plane? Sixteen students and two teachers from one German high school, called Joseph Koenig Gymnasium, were among those booked on Flight 9525, according to Florian Adamik, a municipal official in Haltern, the town where the school is located. A crisis center has been established at the city hall in Haltern, which is about 77 kilometers (48 miles) north of Dusseldorf's airport. Winkelmann confirmed the 16 students and two teachers were on the plane. Haltern's mayor, Bodo Klimpel, said they had been heading home after taking part in a foreign exchange program. "The whole city is shocked, and we can feel it everywhere," Klimpel said. A Dutch citizen and a Belgian -- the latter a resident of Barcelona -- were among those on the flight, according to those countries' foreign ministries. Two Australians and two Colombians were also believed to be on board. Germanwings started in 2002 and was taken over by Lufthansa seven years later as its low-cost airline, handling an increasing number of midrange flights around Europe. It was forced to cancel some flights Tuesday because there were crews that didn't want to fly upon hearing news of the crash. The valley where the plane went down is long and snow-covered, and access is difficult, said the mayor of the nearby town of Barcelonnette, Pierre Martin-Charpenel. It was well populated in the 19th century but there are almost no people living there now, he said. It's an out-of-the-way place with magnificent scenery, he said. The sports hall of a local school has been freed up to take in bodies of the victims of the plane crash, said Sandrine Julien from the town hall of Seyne-les-Alpes village. Seyne-les-Alpes is about 10 kilometers from the crash site. Mountain guide Yvan Theaudin told BFMTV the crash was in the area of the Massif des Trois Eveches, where there are peaks of nearly 3,000 meters (1.9 miles). It's very snowy in the area and the weather is worsening, he said, which could complicate search and rescue efforts. Responders may have to use skis to reach the crash site on the ground, he said. Sandrine Boisse, president of the tourism office at the Pra Loup ski resort, said she heard the plane crash and called the police and the local government office to find out what had happened. "It was about 11 (a.m.) here. I was outside the garage, and we heard a strange noise, and at first we thought it was an avalanche," she said. "Something was wrong. ... We didn't know what." A mountain guide who heard a plane fly at alarmingly low altitude shortly before the crash, Michel Suhubiette, said helicopters may be the only way to get to the crash site. According to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, just under 16% of aviation accidents occur during the cruise portion of a flight -- meaning after the climb and before descent. Accidents are more common during takeoff and landing. The twin-engine Airbus A320s, which entered service in 1988, is generally considered among the most reliable aircraft, aviation analyst David Soucie said. The captain of the crashed plane had flown for Germanwings for more than 10 years, and had more than 6,000 flight hours on this model of Airbus. The plane itself dates to 1991 and was last checked in Dusseldorf on Monday, according to Winkelmann. So what happened? CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo said the plane's speed is one clue. According to Germanwings, the plane reached its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet, and then dropped for eight minutes. The plane lost contact with French radar at a height of approximately 6,000 feet. Then it crashed. This could indicate that there was not a stall, but that the pilot was still controlling the plane to some extent, Schiavo said. Had there been an engine stall, the plane would have crashed in a matter of minutes, she said. That small piece of information about the 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. The crash spurred officials in several countries to offer their condolences and pledge solidarity and cooperation to help those affected and determine what happened. "Our thoughts and our prayers are with our friends in Europe, especially the people of Germany and Spain, following the terrible airplane crash in France," U.S. President Barack Obama told reporters. "It's particularly heartbreaking because it apparently includes the loss of so many children, some of them infants." Germany's Merkel said she was sending two ministers to France on Tuesday and would travel to the crash site on Wednesday to see it for herself. "We have to think of the victims and their families and their friends," she said. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the German government had set up a crisis center in response to the "terrible news" and was in close contact with the French authorities. "In these difficult hours, our thoughts are with those who have to fear that their close ones are among the passengers and crew," he said.

Britain is locked in a post-Snowden ‘arms race’ with terrorists who are using technology to spy on the security services and put ‘our people and agents at risk’, the head of MI6 warned last night. In his first public speech, Alex Younger made a series of pointed references to how UK intelligence agencies operate within some of the strictest laws in the world while our enemies were ‘unconstrained’. His comments will be seen as a rejection of the barrage of criticism aimed at MI6, MI5 and GCHQ by US ‘whistleblower’ Edward Snowden and his supporters in the UK. Snowden’s cheerleaders claim he exposed mass unauthorised surveillance by the security services. MI6 chief Alex Younger said Britain was locked in a post-Snowden ‘arms race’ with terrorists who are using technology to spy on the security services and put ‘our people and agents at risk’ But Mr Younger said: ‘What really distinguishes us from our opponents is that we live by the values of this country and are regulated by its laws, even as we work in secret.’ He warned that terror groups such as Islamic State and Al Qaeda were increasingly using the internet to target the intelligence agencies. Spy chiefs say the leaks revealed by Snowden – who stole 1.7million classified documents – had revealed sensitive intelligence gathering techniques. Sources have also warned the Snowden files may have put individual agents in danger by revealing their identities or location. Mr Younger said: ‘The internet and big data can combine to our advantage, allowing us to know more about the people we meet and the places we meet them. Using data appropriately and proportionately offers us a priceless opportunity to be even more deliberate and targeted in what we do, and so to be better at protecting our agents and this country. That is good news. Edward Snowden – who stole 1.7million classified documents – revealed sensitive intelligence gathering techniques . ‘The bad news is that the same technology in opposition hands, an opposition often unconstrained by consideration of ethics and law, allows them to see what we are doing and put our people and agents at risk. ‘So we find ourselves in a technology arms race. Contrary to myth, human intelligence operations are not an alternative to technical operations; the two are interdependent and are set to become more so.’ The spy chief did not mention Snowden by name. But, in a speech earlier this year, his predecessor Sir John Sawers said: ‘Snowden threw a massive rock in the pool. The ripples from that have still not died down.’ Earlier this month, Home Secretary Theresa May added that the leaks by Snowden had ‘damaged’ intelligence agencies across the world and drained Britain’s spies of vital resources. Mr Younger was speaking at the unveiling of an English Heritage blue plaque at the home of the first MI6 chief, Sir Mansfield Cumming. Known as ‘C’ due to his habit of initialling his papers, Sir Mansfield lived and worked at 2 Whitehall Court in Westminster at various times between 1911 and 1922. Mr Younger said: Naturally, he would be as taken aback as any of his contemporaries at the way in which Britain’s role in the world has altered. It fell to him to protect Britain’s interests as an imperial power during a great war. My task is a bit more subtle, but no less taxing.’

It will be trebles all round on Sunday night when two of the most expensive forward lines of all time come face to face in the Camp Nou – Barcelona’s three-pronged attack of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Leo Messi up against Real Madrid trio Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema. Carlo Anceotti’s threesome have the edge so far this season having scored 56 goals between them — one more than Luis Enrique’s attack. But with Luis Suarez missing the first two months of the season and Messi out of form before the turn of the year, there is a feeling that the Barcelona strike-force gave their Madrid counterparts a head start and are about to go past them. There is also a feeling at a club that has a history of brilliant front threes that this particular Barcelona group could finish up being the best ever. Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar Jnr have netted 55 La Liga goals between them this season . Messi has hit top form for the La Liga leaders after enduring a difficult start to the season . It was in the 2008-09 season that Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto’o and Messi scored 100 goals between them in one campaign with the former Arsenal striker scoring 26, Eto’o 36 and Messi 38. Henry was at the Nou Camp on Wednesday to cover Barcelona’s victory over Manchester City for Sky and went down to the Barcelona dressing room after the game to congratulate the players who could yet break that scoring record this season. Following the Henry/Eto’o/Messi forward line came the Messi/David Villa/Pedro one that also won a European Cup against Manchester United. They scored 98 goals in the 2010-11 season with Messi getting 53, Villa 23 and Pedro 21. Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema have scored 56 league goals between them this season . In the 2008-09 campaign Barca's front three of Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and Messi scored 100 goals . Both attacks had a tendency to come good in the Clasico and Henry played in one of the most famous Real Madrid-Barcelona games in 2009 with Barca winning 6-2 at the Bernabeu, Henry and Messi both scoring twice. On Sunday it is the Barcelona three who are in the best form, although none of them could get past Joe Hart on Wednesday. Real Madrid’s ‘BBC’ forward line are a little more out of sorts with Benzema, Bale and Cristiano having scored five each since the turn of the year.

Seattle's city employees will not be allowed to travel to Indiana for work purposes via city funding, the office of Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said Saturday. The news comes in the wake of law S.B. 101, or the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, going through in Indiana. In a release, Murray said 'Seattle has been a leader in the fight to protect civil rights and ensure equality for all people – no matter who you are, or who you love. This is why I am ordering that none of our taxpayer dollars should go toward supporting this discriminatory law.' Scroll down for video . Issues: Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, left, plans to sign an executive order that 'will ban City employees from work-related and city-funded travel to the State of Indiana.' Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, right, defended the new state law on Sunday, and said it wasn't a mistake to have enacted it . The release said 'To formalize the Mayor's decision, he will be issuing an executive order next week. The order will ban City employees from work-related and city-funded travel to the State of Indiana.' Last week, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee also called SB 101 'discriminatory' in a Thursday statement. He said 'We stand united as San Franciscans to condemn Indiana's new discriminatory law, and will work together to protect the civil rights of all Americans including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. 'Effective immediately, I am directing City Departments under my authority to bar any publicly-funded City employee travel to the State of Indiana that is not absolutely essential to public health and safety.' Indiana Gov. Mike Pence defended the new state law that's garnered widespread criticism over concerns it could foster discrimination on Sunday, and said it wasn't a mistake to have enacted it. Pence appeared on ABC's 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos' to discuss the measure he signed last week prohibiting 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. Since the Republican governor signed the bill into law Thursday, Indiana has been widely criticized by businesses and organizations around the nation, as well as on social media with the hashtag (hash)boycottindiana. Already, consumer review service Angie's List has said it will suspend a planned expansion in Indianapolis because of the new law. Outrage: Since the Republican governor signed the bill into law Thursday, Indiana has been widely criticized by businesses and organizations around the nation . Changes: Already, consumer review service Angie's List has said it will suspend a planned expansion in Indianapolis because of the new law . Pence did not answer directly when asked at least six times whether under the law it would be legal for a merchant to refuse to serve gay customers. 'This is not about discrimination, this is about empowering people to confront government overreach,' he said. Asked again, he said, 'Look, the issue here is still is tolerance a two-way street or not.' Pence told the Indianapolis Star on Saturday that he was in discussions with legislative leaders over the weekend and expects a clarification bill to be introduced in the coming week. He addressed that Sunday, saying, 'if the General Assembly ... sends me a bill that adds a section that reiterates and amplifies and clarifies what the law really is and what it has been for the last 20 years, then I'm open to that.' But Pence was adamant that the measure, slated to take effect in July, will stick. 'We're not going to change this law,' Pence said. Some national gay-rights groups say it's a way for lawmakers in Indiana and several others states where such bills have been proposed this year to essentially grant a state-sanctioned waiver for discrimination as the nation's highest court prepares to mull the gay marriage question. Supporters of the law, including Pence, contend discrimination claims are overblown and insist it will keep the government from compelling people to provide services they find objectionable on religious grounds. They also maintain courts haven't allowed discrimination under similar laws covering the federal government and 19 other states. Arkansas is poised to follow in Indiana's footsteps, with a final vote expected next week in the House on legislation that Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson has said he'll sign. Josh Earnest, President Barack Obama's spokesman, appeared on 'This Week' just after Pence, and said the debate isn't a political argument. Thousands of opponents of Indiana Senate Bill 101, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act are seen Saturday on the lawn of the Indiana State House . 'If you have to go back two decades to try to justify what you're doing today, it may raise questions,' Earnest said, referring to the 1993 federal law Pence brought up. He added that Pence 'is in damage-control mode this morning and he's got some damage to fix.' State Rep. Ed DeLaney, an Indianapolis Democrat, told a large, boisterous crowd Saturday gathered outside of the Statehouse to protest that the law creates 'a road map, a path to discrimination.' Rally attendees chanted 'Pence must go!' several times and held signs that read 'No hate in our state.' Pence addressed the critics Sunday, saying: 'This avalanche of intolerance that's been poured on our state is just outrageous.'

<s>[INST] Seattle's city employees will not be allowed to travel to Indiana for work purposes via city funding, the office of Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said Saturday. The news comes in the wake of law S.B. 101, or the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, going through in Indiana. In a release, Murray said 'Seattle has been a leader in the fight to protect civil rights and ensure equality for all people – no matter who you are, or who you love. This is why I am ordering that none of our taxpayer dollars should go toward supporting this discriminatory law.' Scroll down for video . Issues: Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, left, plans to sign an executive order that 'will ban City employees from work-related and city-funded travel to the State of Indiana.' Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, right, defended the new state law on Sunday, and said it wasn't a mistake to have enacted it . The release said 'To formalize the Mayor's decision, he will be issuing an executive order next week. The order will ban City employees from work-related and city-funded travel to the State of Indiana.' Last week, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee also called SB 101 'discriminatory' in a Thursday statement. He said 'We stand united as San Franciscans to condemn Indiana's new discriminatory law, and will work together to protect the civil rights of all Americans including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. 'Effective immediately, I am directing City Departments under my authority to bar any publicly-funded City employee travel to the State of Indiana that is not absolutely essential to public health and safety.' Indiana Gov. Mike Pence defended the new state law that's garnered widespread criticism over concerns it could foster discrimination on Sunday, and said it wasn't a mistake to have enacted it. Pence appeared on ABC's 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos' to discuss the measure he signed last week prohibiting 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. Since the Republican governor signed the bill into law Thursday, Indiana has been widely criticized by businesses and organizations around the nation, as well as on social media with the hashtag (hash)boycottindiana. Already, consumer review service Angie's List has said it will suspend a planned expansion in Indianapolis because of the new law. Outrage: Since the Republican governor signed the bill into law Thursday, Indiana has been widely criticized by businesses and organizations around the nation . Changes: Already, consumer review service Angie's List has said it will suspend a planned expansion in Indianapolis because of the new law . Pence did not answer directly when asked at least six times whether under the law it would be legal for a merchant to refuse to serve gay customers. 'This is not about discrimination, this is about empowering people to confront government overreach,' he said. Asked again, he said, 'Look, the issue here is still is tolerance a two-way street or not.' Pence told the Indianapolis Star on Saturday that he was in discussions with legislative leaders over the weekend and expects a clarification bill to be introduced in the coming week. He addressed that Sunday, saying, 'if the General Assembly ... sends me a bill that adds a section that reiterates and amplifies and clarifies what the law really is and what it has been for the last 20 years, then I'm open to that.' But Pence was adamant that the measure, slated to take effect in July, will stick. 'We're not going to change this law,' Pence said. Some national gay-rights groups say it's a way for lawmakers in Indiana and several others states where such bills have been proposed this year to essentially grant a state-sanctioned waiver for discrimination as the nation's highest court prepares to mull the gay marriage question. Supporters of the law, including Pence, contend discrimination claims are overblown and insist it will keep the government from compelling people to provide services they find objectionable on religious grounds. They also maintain courts haven't allowed discrimination under similar laws covering the federal government and 19 other states. Arkansas is poised to follow in Indiana's footsteps, with a final vote expected next week in the House on legislation that Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson has said he'll sign. Josh Earnest, President Barack Obama's spokesman, appeared on 'This Week' just after Pence, and said the debate isn't a political argument. Thousands of opponents of Indiana Senate Bill 101, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act are seen Saturday on the lawn of the Indiana State House . 'If you have to go back two decades to try to justify what you're doing today, it may raise questions,' Earnest said, referring to the 1993 federal law Pence brought up. He added that Pence 'is in damage-control mode this morning and he's got some damage to fix.' State Rep. Ed DeLaney, an Indianapolis Democrat, told a large, boisterous crowd Saturday gathered outside of the Statehouse to protest that the law creates 'a road map, a path to discrimination.' Rally attendees chanted 'Pence must go!' several times and held signs that read 'No hate in our state.' Pence addressed the critics Sunday, saying: 'This avalanche of intolerance that's been poured on our state is just outrageous.' Asked if he would be willing to add sexual orientation to the list of characteristics against which discrimination is illegal, he said, 'I will not push for that. That's not on my agenda, and that's not been an objective of the people of the state of Indiana.' U.S. Sen.

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has denied a Football Association charge of violent conduct for standing on Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea. Video evidence was used to charge the centre-back, currently away on international duty with Slovakia, after television pictures highlighted the incident - missed by referee Martin Atkinson - in the last seconds of Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Anfield. Skrtel chased a through-ball as 10-man Liverpool searched for a late equaliser but De Gea slid in to get there first and the defender continued his run and stood on the goalkeeper's right shin. Martin Skrtel's foot lands on David de Gea's leg in the incident which saw the FA charge the defender . Skrtel will fight the violent conduct charge, claiming the alleged stamp was not intentional . Premier League: Arsenal away, April 4 . FA Cup Sixth round: Blackburn away, April 8 . Premier League: Newcastle at home, April 13 . A three-man panel of former elite officials were asked by the FA to review the footage independently of each other and there was unanimous agreement the offence warranted a red card. Skrtel was given until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge and has decided to contest it. The 30-year-old will argue the incident was accidental and not intentional. If he fails in his challenge, Skrtel will receive a three-match ban - which covers league games at Arsenal and home to Newcastle either side of the FA Cup quarter-final replay at Sky Bet Championship side Blackburn.

'Following a review of an incident during the game involving Costa and Liverpool's Martin Skrtel, The FA will not be taking any further action,' a statement from the FA said at the time. However, Skrtel's hopes of succeeding appear slim. Costa appealed his charge for the offence against Can - with manager Jose Mourinho insisting both incidents were 'absolutely accidental' - but was found guilty and banned for three matches. It led to Mourinho claiming there was a 'clear campaign' against Chelsea.

Australia captain Michael Clarke warned his side were yet to play their perfect game in the World Cup, despite booking their spot in Sunday's final with a 95-run victory over defending champions India. Steven Smith clocked his first World Cup century on Thursday, his 105 off just 93 balls propelling Australia to 328 for seven, with opener Aaron Finch kicking on to 81 after a slow start. It meant India's run-chase was under pressure from the start, and, barring skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's run-a-ball 65, Australia had a relatively easy route to the finish line and now have the chance for a fifth World Cup title when they face co-hosts New Zealand. Michael Clarke and his Australia team-mates celebrate during their World Cup victory over India on Thursday . Clarke shakes hand with Indian players after the 95-run win that saw Australia progress to the final . Mitchell Johnson celebrates after taking the wicket of India's Virat Kholi at the Sydney Cricket Ground . The Black Caps are the only unbeaten team of the tournament so far, having trumped Australia as well in the pool stages, but Clarke said on Sky Sports World Cup: 'We're playing some really good cricket at the moment. 'Losing to New Zealand gave us that kick up the backside. I still don't think we've played the perfect game yet. I think we've improved every game and now we're excited to be in the final. 'I think the boys have played some outstanding cricket. Smithy was exceptional once again. He's hitting the ball so sweetly, and I'm really proud of the execution under pressure there from our bowlers.' Smith's century comes in a tournament that has already seen him make scores of 95, 72 and 65, and the stand-in Test captain hopes there is plenty left in the bag for Sunday. 'Another big hundred would be nice,' he said. 'It's nice to contribute to a few wins. It was a pretty big stage, the semi-final of a World Cup. I'm just happy that we got over the line in the end.' Steve Smith plays a fine shot on his way to a 100 against India in the Cricket World Cup semi-final . The all-rounder raises his bat to a bumper crowd after reaching his century on Thursday .

India came into the showpiece on the back of a disappointing tour of Australia, with no competitive wins to their name, but marched to the knockout phase by topping their pool and then easily beat Bangladesh. 'Overall, I'm quite happy,' Dhoni said. 'Where we were at the start of the tournament, a lot of people didn't think we'd get this far. 'At the same time, when you come to the knockout stages you have to lift your game. 'There were too many (runs) to chase. If you lose quite a few wickets and you're supposed to chase over six runs an over... Our lower order, I don't think they can contribute as much in these conditions. 'Overall, it's good exposure for them. Maybe next time, in other conditions, they'll know how to bat and do better.' Dhoni was undecided when asked after the match whether this would be his last World Cup. 'I'm not sure about that,' he said. 'I'm 33, I'm still running, I'm still fit. 'But I'll have a (think in a) year's time. Maybe next year during the T20 World Cup I would like to decide if I can continue until the 2019 World Cup or not.'

Rangi Chase says he would be happy to switch to full-back for Salford, revealing he grew up playing the role in rugby union. The former Castleford and England stand-off won the Man of Steel award in 2011 for his brilliant displays with the number six on his back but an injury crisis has left the Red Devils without three specialist full-backs for Saturday's game against Catalans Dragons in Perpignan. Coach Iesytn Harris has called up youngster Jon Ford in the absence of Kevin Locke, Niall Evalds and Ben Jones-Bishop but admits he is considering moving Chase into the full-back spot. Rangi Chase, pictured in action for England in 2013, could be set to play at full-back for Salford . 'I'll play wherever,' Chase said. 'I grew up playing full-back in rugby union, so I'm not unfamiliar with it. 'Obviously I've not played there for a while but, if I do get put there, I will have to adjust. 'Obviously when we're attacking it doesn't bother me but defensively you've got to make sure you're in the right spots. I've got to make sure my communication is right if I'm back there.' Chase stepped into the full-back role towards the end of last Saturday's game against Hull after Evalds went off with a pulled hamstring and Harris believes he could perform the role from the start against the Dragons. 'Rangi is a versatile player,' Harris said. 'He can play a little bit of nine if he has to, he can play in the halves, he can play at full-back. He's a natural footballer and he generally creates opportunities wherever he plays on the field. 'And he's very much a team player, he wants to do what's best for the team. The most important thing is Rangi being on the field. It's trying to get the balance right within the team.' Wherever he plays on Saturday, Chase's duel with the Catalans' Australian playmaker Todd Carney promises is a mouthwatering prospect, although the player himself is playing it down. 'I'm not bothered if it's Todd Carney or if it's someone else,' Chase said. 'I'm not worried about him and I'm sure he's not worried about me. At the end of the day, I'll just focus on my own game.' Chase was in masterful form as he steered Salford to their first win of the season against Hull but he admits they will be to take a step up against a Dragons team who are near invincible at the Stade Gilbert Brutus. 'It was a good win in the end,' Chase said. 'We had to dig deep for each other and hopefully we can take some confidence from that. We need to build again. 'It is tough going there. They'are an aggressive side and, when they're at home, they grow even more with their support. 'I think the squad they have is the best they've had since I've been here so I'm looking forward to that.'

The most important thing is Rangi being on the field. It's trying to get the balance right within the team.' Wherever he plays on Saturday, Chase's duel with the Catalans' Australian playmaker Todd Carney promises is a mouthwatering prospect, although the player himself is playing it down. 'I'm not bothered if it's Todd Carney or if it's someone else,' Chase said. 'I'm not worried about him and I'm sure he's not worried about me. At the end of the day, I'll just focus on my own game.' Chase was in masterful form as he steered Salford to their first win of the season against Hull but he admits they will be to take a step up against a Dragons team who are near invincible at the Stade Gilbert Brutus. 'It was a good win in the end,' Chase said. 'We had to dig deep for each other and hopefully we can take some confidence from that. We need to build again. 'It is tough going there. They'are an aggressive side and, when they're at home, they grow even more with their support. 'I think the squad they have is the best they've had since I've been here so I'm looking forward to that.' [/INST] Rangi Chase reveals he grew up playing full back in rugby union .
