David Cameron kicked off the Tory Election campaign yesterday with an intensely personal attack on Ed Miliband and his ‘hopeless, sneering socialists’. The Prime Minister made a direct assault on the Labour leader’s background, calling it the ‘same old condescending, bossy, interfering, we-know-best attitude of the Hampstead socialist down the ages’. Mr Cameron’s withering reference to the North London borough associated with ‘champagne socialists’ comes after Mr Miliband was ridiculed last year for claiming in his party conference speech to have met ordinary voters on Hampstead Heath, a short walk from his £2.6million home. Scroll down for video . Attack: Mr Cameron said it was ‘same old condescending, bossy, interfering, we-know-best attitude of the Hampstead socialist down the ages’ With just 40 days until the tightest Election for a generation, Mr Cameron used his first address of the campaign to unveil the party’s slogan – ‘We are with you’. He told supporters at his party’s spring forum in Manchester that the Conservatives were ‘the real party of aspiration, of working people – the party that is with you, not against you is not that bunch of hypocritical, holier-than-thou, hopeless, sneering socialists’. He defended his approach, declaring: ‘Some might say, “Don’t make this personal,” but when it comes to who’s Prime Minister, the personal is national.’ Withering: Prime Minister claimed 'I know what this role needs – and I don’t think Ed Miliband has it' He added: ‘I know what this role needs – and frankly, I don’t think Ed Miliband has it’, warning voters Mr Miliband would ‘be the one taking the make-or-break calls in the middle of the night’. Speaking at the ITV studios where Coronation Street was filmed, Mr Cameron also compared Mr Miliband unfavourably to his predecessors, saying Labour was ‘not the party of Clement Attlee, who built the NHS... not the party of Wilson and his ‘white heat of technology’... not even the party of John Smith, who believed so passionately in the dignity of work.’ Instead, he said, they ‘were the party whose new Jerusalem is a load of dead-end lives and poverty handed down through the generations’. Chancellor George Osborne also mocked Mr Miliband, who, when asked last week by Jeremy Paxman whether he was tough enough to be PM, replied, ‘Hell, yes.’ Osborne painted a picture of life under a Labour Government, describing it as: ‘Hell – yes, indeed.’ Mr Cameron also used the speech to promise that a future Tory Government would turn the NHS into a true seven-day service, with more hospitals providing top-level treatment at the weekend.

She's one of reality TV's most stylish exports so it was only a matter of time before Millie Mackintosh turned her hand to fashion design. The former Made In Chelsea star's first fashion collection was such a hit that she's back with her spring/summer 15 drop - and it's full of bold floral patterns, hippy chic maxi dresses and the kind of festival fashion staples that she's made her signature. Speaking to FEMAIL about her new collection of suede dresses and tasseled jackets, the 25-year-old said: 'The range was inspired by my love of festivals and it has a real 70s influence. 'It's full of easy-to-wear shapes, feminine patterns and playful prints.' Millie Mackintosh, who found fame on Made In Chelsea, has unveiled her spring/summer designs and models them all herself, of course . Millie explains that this collection is totally different to her first and she took on board her customer and buyers' comments to help develop and enhance the brand. 'The whole process has been such an amazing learning experience and this is my favourite collection ever. I love the black suede jacket and print maxi dress, I am going to be getting a lot of wear out of the collection come summer,' she said. Millie, who is 'gutted' that she can't attend Glastonbury because it clashes with two weddings she has on, will be rocking her designs at Coachella festival, as well as on her upcoming trips to Morocco and Istanbul. You're also likely to catch her showbiz pals donning her designs - and she says seeing her friends such as Rosie Fortescue and Zara Martin wearing her collection is the 'ultimate compliment'. Millie's new range is full of bold floral patterns, hippy chic maxi dresses and the kind of festival fashion staples that she's made her signature . Millie wore this gorgeous tasseled jacket which would be perfect for throwing over a dress for a festival . Posing on location in Marrakesh in the new campaign imagery to promote her designs, Millie shows her fans how to work the looks - and she maintains it's all about letting your inner hippie out. 'When it comes to summer dressing, you've just got to have fun with it. My clothes are really accessible and you can dress them up or down depending on the occasion.' As well as style expertise, Millie, who trained as a make-up artist before finding fame, is a beauty buff with her own eyelash range. Sharing her top beauty tips for flawless summer skin, the star - a self-confessed sun worshiper - says SPF is essential. 'I loved sunbathing all my life and now I am so worried about sun damage so I always wear a tinted moisturiser with an SPF in and some cream bronzer and pastel eyeshadow for a natural sunkissed look.' It's clear to see the 70s inspired this short suede dress which Millie rocked with a pair of snakeskin boots . Aside from fashion and beauty, fitness is one of Millie's passions and she's a walking advert for the healthy lifestyle she preaches. Whilst she's confident enough posting videos of her squatting, boxing and participating in the oh-so-fashionable but gruelling SBC class, there's one class Millie is afraid of trying. 'I really want to try this music video dance class at Frame studios but I am too embarrassed. I think it would be really fun and I probably need to learn to just let go of my inhibitions!'. As well as cramming in fashion design and fitness classes, Millie is preparing to release her debut book at the end of the month. If that wasn't enough, she's hoping to expand her eyelash range next year, is already working on her autumn/winter 15 collection and has some exciting health and fitness projects in the pipeline.

Cristiano Ronaldo disappeared straight down the tunnel of the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday night while the rest of his team-mates went to the centre-circle to applaud supporters. It followed a strange night for the Real Madrid forward just seven days ahead of the Clasico. He failed to celebrate Gareth Bale’s opening goal because he was too busy lamenting his own misfortune at not scoring. Ronaldo failed to connect properly with a scissor kick from the edge of the area and when the ball was headed off the line Bale volleyed it into the top corner. Incredibly Ronaldo could be seen throwing his arms up in the air both before and after Bale converted the rebound. Cristiano Ronaldo cannot mask his frustration after striking the post with an early chance to put Real ahead . The World Player of the Year endured a difficult game, with his temper bubbling below the surface . It was a tough night for Ronaldo, who will need to improve in time for next week's Clasico . Gary Lineker tweeted: ‘Ronaldo's extraordinarily stroppy reaction to Bale scoring from a rebound from his effort was bizarre and unhealthy.’ Ronaldo was also frustrated when Bale scored his second goal getting the slightest of touches on a Ronaldo shot but enough to divert it past the Levante goalkeeper to wrap up the three points. He also missed a string of chances the day after he was overtaken by Leo Messi in La Liga’s list of top scorers for this season. Ahead of their meeting at the Nou Camp next week the Argentine has 32 goals – two more than Ronaldo. Ever since Ronaldo collected his third Balon D’or in January and announced to the world that he was ‘coming for’ Messi who has four Golden Ball awards, things have worked in reverse for the planet’s two finest players. Ronaldo nicks the ball past Levante's Ivan Lopez but he didn't stay behind at the end to applaud the fans . This acrobatic Ronaldo volley was headed off the line, before Bale fired in the rebound to make it 1-0 . VIDEO Bale was more motivated - Ancelotti . Messi was 12 goals behind Ronaldo last December but he has not been able to stop scoring since the turn of the year and Real Madrid’s Portuguese striker has dried up. ‘Cristiano was lively because he made the first goal and the second. He didn’t score but he contributed a lot,’ said Carlo Ancelotti after the game. Ronaldo hardly cracked a smile when celebrating with team-mate Dani Carvajal . The frustration was written all over Ronaldo's face as he leaned against the frame of the goal . And he didn't look a happy chappy sitting on the pitch during his side's La Liga victory . The Italian coach said he had no reason not to be positive ahead of next week’s Clasico and admitted: ‘Bale was more motivated than usual and the presence of [Luka] Modric helps him. They know each other very well from playing together at Tottenham.' He will need his talisman Ronaldo back in the right frame of mind before the game however. Last week Ronaldo had to be dragged to the centre-circle by captain Iker Casillas, on Sunday night he ducked out of the post match tradition altogether. At least next week’s league deciding showdown is away from home.

New York state police have launched a public campaign to track down a young woman who allegedly printed off dozens of photos at a Walgreens store without paying. The dark-haired woman reportedly used a self-service photo printer at a Walgreens in Selden around 3pm on January 14. She apparently thought she could sneakily leave the shop without coughing up cash; however, all of her images were digitally recorded. After an unsuccessful search, authorities have now released one image in a bid to identify the suspect. Caught red-handed: New York state police have launched a public campaign to track down a young woman who allegedly printed off dozens of photos at a Walgreens store without paying . The color shot shows the woman staring directly at the camera with her lips pursed. She is wearing a thick gold-colored chain necklace, and monochrome striped top. Her long, dark hair is styled straight. Anyone with information is asked to step forward with a $5,000 cash reward on offer. Police hoped they would be able to track down the culprit but their hunt proved fruitless. They released the image of the woman on Wednesday in a bid to put the crime to bed. The offender is wanted for petit larceny, which carries a one-year maximum prison sentence. Anyone with information about any of the photo booth crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.

The bodies of three French sports stars killed in a helicopter crash in Argentina while taking part in a reality TV show have arrived back in Paris. Olympic swimmer Camille Muffat, sailor Florence Arthaud and Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine died after the horrific accident on the evening of March 9. Relatives and officials gathered at the Charles de Gaulle Airport to pay their respects at a small ceremony earlier this morning. Scroll down for video . The bodies of three French sports stars killed in a helicopter crash in Argentina have arrived back in Paris . Five other French nationals - Laurent Sbasnik, Lucie Mei-Dalby, Volodia Guinard, Brice Guilbert and Edouard Gilles - were also killed in the incident. They were taking part in a survival series called Dropped for French TV when the crash happened in a mountain range in the La Rioja province in north-west Argentina. Ten people died and there were no survivors. Their coffins, which each had a personalised silver plaque, were removed from the plane around 11am and will be buried at a different service. They were watched by French Sports Minister Patrick Kanner, the Argentine ambassador and Nonce Paolini, who heads the TF1 channel that was producing the television programme. The show, which was immediately cancelled after the crash, had planned to blindfold sports stars and take them into rugged environments, giving them 72 hours to get to a place where they could charge a mobile phone. After the crash a cattle farmer told how he rushed to one of the helicopters to try to rescue survivors - but he was beaten back by the heat and smoke.

The coffins were loaded carefully into vans in La Rioja, where the accident took place, on March 17 . A coffin plaque engraved with Camille-Marie Manuella Muffat lays on a bench alongside more plaques engraved with the names of other helicopter crash victims . David Ocampo said: 'One of the helicopters sounded as if it was firing off shots or experiencing small explosions that were completely out of place. 'There were about five metres between the two of them, but the one in front seemed to stop and that caught my attention. 'The other one smashed into it from behind with its propellor after trying to swerve to avoid it and fell to the ground and exploded. The earth shook when they fell. 'I rushed towards it to see if there were any survivors but it was just a ball of flame. The terrifying moment the two helicopters smashed into each other before spiralling to the ground was caught on camera . There were no survivors in the crash, which claimed ten lives. Above, one of the helicopters is left in pieces on the dirt floor after the crash . The sports stars were taking part in a survival series called Dropped for French TV when the crash happened . 'I couldn't see anything really, just smoke and the tail of one of the two helicopters between the bushes.' Prosecutors in Paris opened a manslaughter inquiry after the incident. Initial investigations indicated the crash was caused by human error, officials said. The remaining victims were identified as Argentine pilots Juan Carlos Castillo and Roberto Abate. French President Francois Hollande said at the time: 'The brutal demise of our compatriots is an immense sadness.' Camille Muffat is an Olympic swimmer and former world record holder for the 400m women's freestyle from 2012 until 2013. She won gold during the 400m freestyle at London 2012, earned silver in the women's 200m freestyle and a bronze as a member of the women's 4×200m freestyle relay. She was the third Frenchwoman in history to earn three medals in a summer or winter Olympic Games and was named the 2012 French Sportswoman of the Year. She shocked the sporting world in June by announcing her sudden retirement at the age of 24, exhausted by the long hours of training in the pool. Alexis Vastine won bronze for boxing in the Light Welterweight category at the Beijing Olympics, and competed at London 2012, but was knocked out in the quarter finals. Florence Arthaud was regarded as one of the world's best sailors, and won the Route du Rhum, a transatlantic single-handed yacht race that takes place every four years. She took first place in 1990 with her boat Pierre 1er.

Surgeons have carried out the UK’s first transplant of a non-beating heart. Donor hearts are usually from people who are brain-stem dead, but whose hearts are still beating. In this case, the organ came from a donor after their heart and lungs had stopped functioning. Surgeons at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire restored function to the heart before placing it on an Organ Care System to maintain its quality before it was transplanted. It is the first time such a procedure has been performed in Europe. Surgeons at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire restored function to the heart before placing it on an Organ Care System to maintain its quality before it was transplanted to 60-year-old Huseyin Ulucan from London . Recipient Huseyin Ulucan, 60, from London, who underwent surgery earlier this month, had a heart attack in 2008. He said: ‘Before the surgery, I really had no quality of life. Now I’m feeling stronger every day.’ The hospital said Mr Ulucan was making ‘remarkable progress’ after spending only four days in its critical care unit before being allowed to go home. Currently not everyone who needs a heart transplant can have one due to there not being enough suitable ones available. However, it is hoped that by using non-beating hearts, the number of people able to have heart transplants could increase by up to 25 per cent in the UK alone, saving hundreds of lives. Last year, surgeons in Australia performed the world’s first transplant using a non-beating heart. Consultant surgeon Stephen Large, who led the Papworth transplant team, said: ‘The use of this group of donor hearts could increase heart transplantation by up to 25 per cent in the UK alone.’ There have been 171 heart transplant in the past 12 months in the UK. But demand exceeds supply, and some patients have to wait up to three years for a suitable organ, with many dying on the waiting list. Non-beating-heart donors provide kidneys, livers and other organs, but until now it has not been possible to use the heart because of concerns it would suffer damage. Huseyin Ulucan, from London (pictured with wife Meryem), who became the first person in Europe to receive the surgery following a heart attack in 2008, said he is 'feeling stronger every day' following the operation . Mr Large added: ‘This is a very exciting development. By enabling the safe use of this kind of donor hearts, we could significantly increase the total number of heart transplants each year, saving hundreds of lives.’ The first successful transplant carried out using the Organ Care System – also known as ‘heart in a box’ – took place in St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney last year, involving a heart that had stopped beating for 20 minutes. The system allows the donor heart to be connected to a sterile circuit of blood which restores the heartbeat and keeps it warm, limiting the adverse effects associated with previous methods which saw hearts kept on ice. Using the preservative solution and the heart in a box, the organ is able to be reanimated, preserved and assessed until it is ready to go into a recipient. It is not clear how long after it stopped beating that the doctors at Papworth restarted the heart. They used ultrasound to assess the function of the restarted heart for 50 minutes before approving it for transplantation. They then removed it from the donor, placed it in the heart-in-a-box machine which perfused the organ with blood and nutrients, and kept it beating for three hours until the operation went ahead. The Organ Care System (OCS), developed by TransMedics, allows donor hearts to continue functioning in a near-perfect state outside the body during transport and until it is placed into the body of the recipient . ‘This is a phenomenal achievement,’ said Simon Messer, cardiothoracic transplant registrar at the hospital. ‘People who previously would not get a heart transplant will now be able to have them.’ More than 250 patients in Britain are on the waiting list for heart transplants, and around 900,000 people in the UK are living with heart failure, according to the British Heart Foundation. Mr Messer added: ‘Currently patients can wait over three years for a heart transplant. But less than half of the people on the waiting list will be transplanted. ‘About 13 per cent die while they are waiting, and around 30 per cent are removed from the list, because they become too unwell to have the operation.’

<s>[INST] Surgeons have carried out the UK’s first transplant of a non-beating heart. Donor hearts are usually from people who are brain-stem dead, but whose hearts are still beating. In this case, the organ came from a donor after their heart and lungs had stopped functioning. Surgeons at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire restored function to the heart before placing it on an Organ Care System to maintain its quality before it was transplanted. It is the first time such a procedure has been performed in Europe. Surgeons at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire restored function to the heart before placing it on an Organ Care System to maintain its quality before it was transplanted to 60-year-old Huseyin Ulucan from London . Recipient Huseyin Ulucan, 60, from London, who underwent surgery earlier this month, had a heart attack in 2008. He said: ‘Before the surgery, I really had no quality of life. Now I’m feeling stronger every day.’ The hospital said Mr Ulucan was making ‘remarkable progress’ after spending only four days in its critical care unit before being allowed to go home.

An old crowd favorite at Minnesota Timberwolves' basketball games known famously as 'Jiggly Boy' made a special comeback to celebrate Kevin Garnett's return to the team. And he brought his moves. When the Target Center stadium's jumbotron first caught John Sweeney in the audience, he only gave the camera a couple of quick waves. It was a far cry from the beloved Jiggly boy of the 2003-04 season, when Sweeney was known to strip off his jersey and rip off his tank top and get down, with 'WOLVES' scribbled on his stomach and 'KG' for Garnett written on his arm. Scroll down for video . Crowd favorite John Sweeney, 49, brought back Jiggly boy for Kevin Garnett's welcome home game with the Minnesota Timberwolves .

The crowd went wild the minute Sweeney appeared on screen during the February 25 game against the Washington Wizards, with many instantly recognizing him despite the years that had passed. And the camera soon panned back to the 49-year-old dad, the announcer asking 'Wait a second, can we go back there?' One of Sweeney's sons tries to grab his dad's arm and pull him up to dance, and the camera held on him - an invitation and a tempt. But Sweeney shook his head no and encouraged his sons to dance instead.

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

Timothy Stanley: Hillary Clinton's use of personal email is a nonscandal . He says a serious context is murky issue of Benghazi; less serious is political context . Jeb Bush is using revelation to score points, Stanley says .

There was nothing more mind-numbingly maddening in the aftermath of England’s worst World Cup exit yet than the immediate reaction of Peter Moores. ‘We thought 275 was chaseable. We’ll have to look at the data,’ said a coach now fighting to avoid his second ignominious exit from international cricket as the reality of an embarrassing group stage elimination sank in. Well, England should rip up their data along with their whole philosophy towards one-day cricket and start again. Peter Moores faces an uncertain future following England's humiliating exit from the 2015 Cricket World Cup . England were beaten by 15 runs at the Adelaide Oval to make it four defeats against Test-playing nations . England captain Eoin Morgan looks dejected as he leaves the field after their World Cup match . Morgan's fifth ODI duck in 12 innings summed up their poor performance at the World Cup . 90 - the amount of runs captain Eoin Morgan scored in five innings at the World Cup . 12.2 - the overs it took for New Zealand to beat England's total of 123 in their second group game. 111 - Australia's margin of victory in the opening game of the tournament . 654 - total of runs scored by Australia and Sri Lanka against England . 1 - number of centuries scored by an England batsman against Test playing nations . 72 - number of runs scored by Sri Lanka off the bowling of Chris Woakes . 0 - number of wins registered by England over Test playing nations in the tournament . 0 - the number of centuries scored by a Bangladesh batsman in a World Cup before playing England on Monday. 37.4-1-234-5 - Chris Woakes's tournament bowling figures. 49 - the amount of runs Steven Finn went for in two overs against New Zealand. You do not need analysis to know that they have stunk this tournament out and, after this 15-run defeat by Bangladesh, are once again the laughing stock of the cricket world. The only statistic Moores needs to know is that England, having been thrashed by Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, were humbled by a Bangladesh side who beat them here at their own very English game. The key data is that England, having defeated just Scotland so far, have excelled themselves in being even worse at this World Cup than the five previous stinkers since they came so close to winning the 1992 tournament in Australia. And this humiliation has come after the Ashes were moved and a winter of one-day cricket provided to try to make sure England had every chance of finally competing for a first global 50-over trophy that looks further away than ever. In truth, arranging a one-day series against Sri Lanka before Christmas was akin to putting a sticking plaster on a gaping wound because England are light years away from the dynamic, vibrant teams we have seen here. To hurl all the blame in the direction of Moores would be unfair but there is no question that his position must now come under serious scrutiny, as too will that of the man who re-appointed him in Paul Downton. Colin Graves does not become ECB chairman until May but he is not the sort of man to postpone a big decision and the coach and managing director may soon be caught up in the new broom that is sweeping through the English game. England batsman James Taylor reacts after he was dismissed during the 15-run defeat by Bangladesh . Moores faces an uncertain future following England's humiliating exit against Bangladesh . Dec 19 - Alastair Cook replaced by Eoin Morgan as England ODI captain . Jan 14 - England beat Prime Minister's XI by 60 runs as Ian Bell hits magnificent 187 . Jan 16 - Australia beat England by three wickets but Morgan hits 121 in first ODI since replacing Cook as captain . Jan 20 - England beat India by nine wickets . Jan 23 - Australia beat England by three wickets via a Steve Smith century . Jan 30 - England beat India by three wickets to set up tri-series final with Australia . Feb 1 - Same old, same old as Australia again beat England by 112 runs to win tri-series . Feb 9 - England beat West Indies by nine wickets in World Cup warm-up match . Feb 11 - Pakistan beat England by four wickets in final World Cup warm-up tie . Feb 14 - Australia beat England by 111 runs on opening day of World Cup . Feb 20 - New Zealand beat England by eight wickets as Peter Moores's men are crushed . Feb 22 - England beat Scotland by 119 runs as expected via 128 from Mooen Ali . Feb 28 - Sri Lanka beat shameful England by nine wickets for a third crushing defeat . 'There was no obvious team to pick because they're young players, they haven't played a lot of cricket. We've got nine guys who haven't been to a World Cup before. 'That's the reality of it. You make your choice, you pick the side you think is the best team, which we did, and we have to accept they didn't play well enough.' Shane Warne and Kevin Pietersen were among those criticising England on Twitter after their early elimination in the group stages. 'England had the wrong team, the wrong style of play and everyone could see it. Tonight's result is not a shock, I feel for Morgan. Coach is in trouble,' Warne tweeted. Pietersen added: 'I cannot believe this. I just cannot. But, well done Bangladesh! You deserved it! 'Do not say we haven't prioritised ODI cricket! We played a back-to-back Ashes to make sure England played six months of ODIs before this World Cup!' Gary Lineker, the former England striker, said: 'Bangladesh win! Congratulations to them. The good news is, England can't possibly get any worse.' And Piers Morgan wrote: 'What an absolute disgrace. [Paul] Downton and Moores have dragged English cricket into the sporting sewer with their petty, clueless incompetence. 'I want Downton and Moores sacked today and Kevin Pietersen restored to the team. This farce just reached its true, hideous nadir. 'I wouldn't trust Downton and Moores to run a ****ing bath, let alone the England cricket team.' Moores pictured after the defeat as he speaks with press in Adelaide about their World Cup exit . To highlight Moores immediate mention of data on television is not to take a cheap shot at a decent man who appears to be liked and respected by players who on the whole have let him and their country down here. By the time he gave a more considered press conference yesterday there was no mention of the statistics that seem to have weighed down even a free spirit in Eoin Morgan, who has been a huge disappointment as captain here. My gut feeling is that Moores will be given the summer before England think about replacing him but a personal view is that maybe his assistant Paul Farbrace, an Asia Cup and World Twenty20 winner with Sri Lanka before throwing in his lot with England, could take extra responsibility for limited-overs cricket. England are about to embark on a gruelling schedule of 17 Tests in 10 months and the danger is that one-day cricket will again be shoved to the bottom of England’s list of priorities unless a clear strategy is undertaken. The overwhelming favourite to succeed Moores if and when he goes is Jason Gillespie but he distanced himself from the role yesterday and there is no doubt that the Yorkshire coach and his family are happy and settled in Leeds. Joe Root (centre) exchanges words with Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza (left) at the Adelaide Oval . Bangladesh sealed a surprise win over England at the World Cup as Moores and his men suffered elimination . Gillespie has already turned down a role with his native Australia under Darren Lehmann and has been given permission by Yorkshire to coach a team, probably Adelaide, in next year’s Big Bash while staying at Headingley. The constant year-round slog of international cricket is making it harder for countries to attract the best coaches and former Yorkshire chairman Graves may need to be at his most persuasive if he wants to recruit his old county coach. Moores and Downton are not the only ones under the microscope. Morgan refused to say that he wanted to carry on as one-day captain yesterday and reiterated his intention to miss England’s one-day international against Ireland in May, their first of another ‘new’ era, to play in the IPL. Well, I am sorry but if he does want to continue then he needs to be with the team in his native Dublin, particularly as it will be impossible for England players touring West Indies next month to make the Ireland trip on May 8. The sheer volume of cricket means that the best way for England to catch up in 50-over cricket is to build a new young team of one-day players as different as possible to that which will contest Test cricket in the next year against West Indies, New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan and South Africa. Eoin Morgan looks to have been given the backing by Moores to continue as England's one-day captain . Alastair Cook (left) was devastated to be axed from 50-over cricket on the brink of his first World Cup . Ian Bell, who left England far too much to do against Bangladesh by getting out after scoring 62 off 83 balls, will surely bow out of one-day cricket after Friday’s dead rubber against Afghanistan while it is in the best interests of Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad for them to do the same. Joe Root was strongly considered for the one-day captaincy by England when they sacked Alastair Cook before they plumped for the out-of-form Morgan and I would give him the one-day job now and build a new team around him. It is certainly possible to envisage a squad led by Root and including Jos Buttler, who came so close to recuing England yesterday, Alex Hales, Moeen Ali, James Taylor, Ben Stokes, Jason Roy, James Vince, Sam Billings and Adil Rashid growing into an outfit capable of competing in the modern one-day world. But the seam bowling remains a huge worry, not least the absence of a quick left-armer. Bangladesh, worthy quarter-finalists now, had the fastest bowler on show yesterday in Rubel Hossain, who took four wickets, and that must be the first time they have ever had more pace at their disposal than England. The lack of variety in England’s bowling is one of the many reasons why they will be on their way home before the business end of this elongated tournament. And why they will be returning to the drawing board when they get there in their never-ending search for one-day success.

<s>[INST] There was nothing more mind-numbingly maddening in the aftermath of England’s worst World Cup exit yet than the immediate reaction of Peter Moores. ‘We thought 275 was chaseable. We’ll have to look at the data,’ said a coach now fighting to avoid his second ignominious exit from international cricket as the reality of an embarrassing group stage elimination sank in. Well, England should rip up their data along with their whole philosophy towards one-day cricket and start again. Peter Moores faces an uncertain future following England's humiliating exit from the 2015 Cricket World Cup . England were beaten by 15 runs at the Adelaide Oval to make it four defeats against Test-playing nations . England captain Eoin Morgan looks dejected as he leaves the field after their World Cup match . Morgan's fifth ODI duck in 12 innings summed up their poor performance at the World Cup . 90 - the amount of runs captain Eoin Morgan scored in five innings at the World Cup . 12.2 - the overs it took for New Zealand to beat England's total of 123 in their second group game. 111 - Australia's margin of victory in the opening game of the tournament . 654 - total of runs scored by Australia and Sri Lanka against England . 1 - number of centuries scored by an England batsman against Test playing nations . 72 - number of runs scored by Sri Lanka off the bowling of Chris Woakes . 0 - number of wins registered by England over Test playing nations in the tournament . 0 - the number of centuries scored by a Bangladesh batsman in a World Cup before playing England on Monday. 37.4-1-234-5 - Chris Woakes's tournament bowling figures. 49 - the amount of runs Steven Finn went for in two overs against New Zealand. You do not need analysis to know that they have stunk this tournament out and, after this 15-run defeat by Bangladesh, are once again the laughing stock of the cricket world. The only statistic Moores needs to know is that England, having been thrashed by Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, were humbled by a Bangladesh side who beat them here at their own very English game. The key data is that England, having defeated just Scotland so far, have excelled themselves in being even worse at this World Cup than the five previous stinkers since they came so close to winning the 1992 tournament in Australia. And this humiliation has come after the Ashes were moved and a winter of one-day cricket provided to try to make sure England had every chance of finally competing for a first global 50-over trophy that looks further away than ever. In truth, arranging a one-day series against Sri Lanka before Christmas was akin to putting a sticking plaster on a gaping wound because England are light years away from the dynamic, vibrant teams we have seen here. To hurl all the blame in the direction of Moores would be unfair but there is no question that his position must now come under serious scrutiny, as too will that of the man who re-appointed him in Paul Downton. Colin Graves does not become ECB chairman until May but he is not the sort of man to postpone a big decision and the coach and managing director may soon be caught up in the new broom that is sweeping through the English game. England batsman James Taylor reacts after he was dismissed during the 15-run defeat by Bangladesh . Moores faces an uncertain future following England's humiliating exit against Bangladesh . Dec 19 - Alastair Cook replaced by Eoin Morgan as England ODI captain . Jan 14 - England beat Prime Minister's XI by 60 runs as Ian Bell hits magnificent 187 . Jan 16 - Australia beat England by three wickets but Morgan hits 121 in first ODI since replacing Cook as captain . Jan 20 - England beat India by nine wickets . Jan 23 - Australia beat England by three wickets via a Steve Smith century . Jan 30 - England beat India by three wickets to set up tri-series final with Australia . Feb 1 - Same old, same old as Australia again beat England by 112 runs to win tri-series . Feb 9 - England beat West Indies by nine wickets in World Cup warm-up match . Feb 11 - Pakistan beat England by four wickets in final World Cup warm-up tie . Feb 14 - Australia beat England by 111 runs on opening day of World Cup . Feb 20 - New Zealand beat England by eight wickets as Peter Moores's men are crushed . Feb 22 - England beat Scotland by 119 runs as expected via 128 from Mooen Ali . Feb 28 - Sri Lanka beat shameful England by nine wickets for a third crushing defeat . 'There was no obvious team to pick because they're young players, they haven't played a lot of cricket. We've got nine guys who haven't been to a World Cup before. 'That's the reality of it. You make your choice, you pick the side you think is the best team, which we did, and we have to accept they didn't play well enough.' Shane Warne and Kevin Pietersen were among those criticising England on Twitter after their early elimination in the group stages. 'England had the wrong team, the wrong style of play and everyone could see it. Tonight's result is not a shock, I feel for Morgan. Coach is in trouble,' Warne tweeted. Pietersen added: 'I cannot believe this. I just cannot. But, well done Bangladesh! You deserved it! 'Do not say we haven't prioritised ODI cricket! We played a back-to-back Ashes to make sure England played six months of ODIs before this World Cup!' Gary Lineker, the former England striker, said: 'Bangladesh win! Congratulations to them. The good news is, England can't possibly get any worse.' And Piers Morgan wrote: 'What an absolute disgrace. [Paul] Downton and Moores have dragged English cricket into the sporting sewer with their petty, clueless incompetence. 'I want Downton and Moores sacked today and Kevin Pietersen restored to the team. This farce just reached its true, hideous nadir. 'I wouldn't trust Downton and Moores to run a ****ing bath, let alone the England cricket team.' Moores pictured after the defeat as he speaks with press in Adelaide about their World Cup exit . To highlight Moores immediate mention of data on television is not to take a cheap shot at a decent man who appears to be liked and respected by players who on the whole have let him and their country down here. By the time he gave a more considered press conference yesterday there was no mention of the statistics that seem to have weighed down even a free spirit in Eoin Morgan, who has been a huge disappointment as captain here. My gut feeling is that Moores will be given the summer before England think about replacing him but a personal view is that maybe his assistant Paul Farbrace, an Asia Cup and World Twenty20 winner with Sri Lanka before throwing in his lot with England, could take extra responsibility for limited-overs cricket. England are about to embark on a gruelling schedule of 17 Tests in 10 months and the danger is that one-day cricket will again be shoved to the bottom of England’s list of priorities unless a clear strategy is undertaken. The overwhelming favourite to succeed Moores if and when he goes is Jason Gillespie but he distanced himself from the role yesterday and there is no doubt that the Yorkshire coach and his family are happy and settled in Leeds.

Scotland lock Rob Harley insists the Dark Blues can finish their RBS 6 Nations off on a high if they can stretch their 20-minute blitz against England to an 80-minute onslaught. Vern Cotter's men host Ireland on Saturday knowing defeat will leave them with a disastrous whitewash for the third time in 11 years. But Glasgow forward Harley is taking hope from the promising spell at the end of the first half last weekend where his side stormed back from Jonathan Joseph's early score to grab a 13-10 half-time lead. Rob Harley believes Scotland can take hope from their 20-minute dominant spell over England on Saturday . Mark Bennett finished off a superb move before a pair of penalties from skipper Greig Laidlaw nudged them in front at the break. But Scotland failed to add a single point after the interval and slumped to a 25-13 defeat in London as England stepped up a level. Now Harley insists the Scots will only be able to dent Ireland's title push next weekend if they can repeat their brief moment of dominance down south for the full match at Murrayfield. He said: 'It was a very, very fast Test match on Saturday - possibly the quickest I've ever played. England came at us with huge pace and they moved the ball really well. Scotland stormed back from Jonathan Joseph's early score to grab a 13-10 half-time lead at Twickenham . 'Their dangerous attacking players were pushing them forward and it took some exceptional defence from us a couple of times to stop them building a bigger lead in that first half. 'But I thought we showed great character getting back into the game. We put pressure on them and started to play our own game. 'We got the off-loads going and that's how we got our try - we moved the ball and played quickly.

'That will be the big focus for us this next week. We'll get a boost from going home to BT Murrayfield in front of our own fans but we need to take the bar that we set with the good things we did at Twickenham and make that the standard for the whole 80 minutes. 'It gives us something to build for and we can definitely take the positives from Saturday's match before hopefully ending the Championship on a high.' Harley says Scotland will take the positives from Saturday's match as they aim to avoid the wooden spoon . Defeat in the English capital follows narrow losses to France, Wales and Italy but despite that miserable set of results, Harley insists Scotland are moving forward. He said: 'The coach spoke after the game in London about making the little improvements that will turn those tight losses into wins. 'We have been giving ourselves chances. We led at Twickenham at half-time but we need to step up our level at bit more so we finish off these chances and do not let teams back at us.'

Jimmy Greaves did not attend Wembley on Sunday. A lot of people tend to get upset when this happens. The one who doesn’t is Jimmy Greaves. If he wanted to go, as a guest of either Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur, his former clubs, he could have secured a ticket, no problem. The Football League would probably love to have him, too. The issue isn’t that Greaves is short of invitations. He’s just not that into it. Jimmy Greaves was a great player, and doesn't need a fuss around him when he decides not to attend games . This can happen when you’re 75. Jimmy thinks of Wembley and, as much as the match — which he would enjoy — he imagines the queues of traffic on the North Circular, the hassles of parking and of spending the hour before kick-off having a big fuss made about his presence when he would rather be sat with a pot of tea in front of Liverpool and Manchester City and then the rugby. Jim loves the rugby. Truth be told, if Ireland versus England captured his attention, he might even have delayed changing channels until it was over. He finds it strange that people are still interested in getting him to Wembley. We want our heroes to behave like besotted fans, but Jim’s interests were always broader. Greaves' interests were always broader than just football, and he should be left to enjoy his retirement . He liked playing, and was quite brilliant at it, but since retiring he’s as likely to be engrossed in a Test match as a cup final, and he hasn’t the ego to wish to be feted wherever he goes. He doesn’t claim to be an expert on the modern game, having not been a part of it for so long, but feels no animosity towards the Premier League or its high-earning players. For a man whose problems with alcohol led him to a psychiatric unit shortly after retirement, the second act of Jim’s life has been a triumph. We should perhaps acknowledge this, rather than wonder why he isn’t constantly seeking attention or another lap of honour. We should wish every former athlete the quiet contentment of Jimmy Greaves.

A New York City truck driver is accused of using a fancy bumper-retracting gadget to help him avoid paying the toll on the George Washington Bridge. Authorities say Pablo Ortega was seen activating a device to make his 'bumper lift to a 90-degree angle' so his license plate would be 'unreadable to the EZ-Pass reader' by an officer from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police who was positioned at a toll booth earlier this week.

Pablo Ortega, 45, was charged with tampering with public records and possession of burglary tools . Authorities believe that Ortega was trying to avoid paying a $95 toll for crossing the George Washington Bridge . Police say he used a device to lift his truck's bumper at a 90 degeree angle to avoid an EZ-Pass reader . The officer observed Ortega flipping a switch on the dashboard of his red 1997 Peterbilt tractor-trailer as he entered the bridge from Fort Lee, New Jersey. The suspect had a load of candy he was hauling across the Hudson River. It normally costs $95 for an 18-wheel truck to cross the Hudson into upper Manhattan. The rear license plate of the truck was covered with grease and unreadable, the New York Post reported. Port Authority spokesman Joseph Pentangelo said: 'This is more sophisticated than most of the contraptions we've seen in the past.' The device, which can be used legally to protect bumpers from getting scraped, cost Ortega about $2,500. It is not known how many times Ortega used the device.

Whether you use it to share news and emotions, or to complain about brands, what you write on Twitter may say more about you than you think. Now, an interactive tool can analyse your most recent tweets and its creator claims it can reveal your personality, by looking at how you use words. Called Analyse Words, it generates a user’s emotional style and says whether they are upbeat, worried, angry or depressed, as well as revealing someone’s social and thinking styles. Try the interactive tool below . Use the interactive tool above to analyse your most recent tweets and reveal your personality . The tool is created by James Pennebaker, a psychologist at the University of Texas, who studies the link between language and personality. To get results, users simply have to enter their Twitter handle and press a button that says 'Analyse Tweets'. A results page is then generated that counts the number of recent words studied and lists the latest tweets. But most intriguingly it tells users how upbeat, worried, angry and depressed they are, in terms of percentages. Users who are most upbeat use lots of positive words and 'we' when they tweet, whereas the tweets of people who are predominantly worried contain anxious words and nervous questions. The tool is created by James Pennebaker, a psychologist at the University of Texas, who studies the link between language and personality. These are the results for Barack Obama, which show he is very upbeat and quite analytical . By inputting a Twitter handle, such as a celebrity's a result page is generated that counts the number of recent words studied and lists the latest tweets. It can be used to show the difference between people's emotional, social and thinking styles. For example, President Obama (left) is upbeat, while Katy Perry (right) is depressed . Users who are most upbeat use lots of positive words and 'we' when they tweet. Tweets by worried users are dominated by anxious words and nervous questions. Angry Twitter users say 'you' a lot and write in capitals. Depressed people make lots of self-references and tend to be inward-looking, the tool says. Angry Twitter users say 'you' a lot and write in capitals and people who have a high depression score make lots of self-references and tend to be inward-looking, the tool says. The tool also analyses a user's social style and says whether they are plugged in, personable, arrogant or spacy. 'Plugged in' tweeters are socially engaged and use social words as well as talking to specific friends, according to the tool. Personable people use positive emotional words, pose questions and reference others frequently, while those who are 'arrogant or distant' tend to be well-read with 'an arms-length approach to socialising'. 'You scored high in this category if you discuss actions instead of emotions, use big words and don’t reference yourself much,' it says. Twitter users who score highly in being a 'spacy valley girl' are excitable and have a habit of tweeting LOLLLLLs, the tool says. It also analyses user's thinking styles and tells them to what extent their tweets show they are analytical, sensory or how they seem to live in the moment. Users who are most upbeat use lots of positive words and 'we' when they tweet, whereas angry Twitter users say 'you' a lot and write in capitals, while depressed people make lots of self-references and tend to be inward-looking, the tool says. Singer Katy Perry's results are shown, which says she is depressed . Dr Pennebacker has previously developed a computer program called Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) which looks at the choice, frequency and context of words to gauge a person’s psychological state, Maria Konnikova writes for the New Yorker. 'Since the creation of the LIWC, in 1993, studies utilising the program have suggested a close connection between our language, our state of mind, and our behaviour,’ she writes. For example, one study showed that the words used on a date can predict people’s desire to be with someone, or in another situation can indicate a person’s importance at work or even their sex and mental state. The tool also analyses a user's social style and says whether they are plugged in, personable, arrogant, meaning distant, and or spacy. Kanye West's results are shown above, which show he is mostly personable . A study by psychologists at the University of Pennsylvania last month revealed that words used in social media profiles can help determine parts of the US that are more likely to have high numbers of deaths due to heart disease. Psychologist Johannes Eichstaedt led a team that analysed 826million tweets from 1,400 counties in the US for words associated with anger, anxiety and other emotions, to emotionally profile users. They found that counties where people’s tweets included hostile, aggressive and lazy words, such as ‘jealous’ and ‘bored’ had higher rates of death from heart attacks and strokes, whereas places with more positive tweeters had less. This suggests that negative and angry language used on social media could be used to predict medical conditions, but the field of research is young.

<s>[INST] Whether you use it to share news and emotions, or to complain about brands, what you write on Twitter may say more about you than you think. Now, an interactive tool can analyse your most recent tweets and its creator claims it can reveal your personality, by looking at how you use words. Called Analyse Words, it generates a user’s emotional style and says whether they are upbeat, worried, angry or depressed, as well as revealing someone’s social and thinking styles. Try the interactive tool below . Use the interactive tool above to analyse your most recent tweets and reveal your personality . The tool is created by James Pennebaker, a psychologist at the University of Texas, who studies the link between language and personality. To get results, users simply have to enter their Twitter handle and press a button that says 'Analyse Tweets'. A results page is then generated that counts the number of recent words studied and lists the latest tweets. But most intriguingly it tells users how upbeat, worried, angry and depressed they are, in terms of percentages. Users who are most upbeat use lots of positive words and 'we' when they tweet, whereas the tweets of people who are predominantly worried contain anxious words and nervous questions. The tool is created by James Pennebaker, a psychologist at the University of Texas, who studies the link between language and personality. These are the results for Barack Obama, which show he is very upbeat and quite analytical . By inputting a Twitter handle, such as a celebrity's a result page is generated that counts the number of recent words studied and lists the latest tweets. It can be used to show the difference between people's emotional, social and thinking styles. For example, President Obama (left) is upbeat, while Katy Perry (right) is depressed . Users who are most upbeat use lots of positive words and 'we' when they tweet. Tweets by worried users are dominated by anxious words and nervous questions. Angry Twitter users say 'you' a lot and write in capitals. Depressed people make lots of self-references and tend to be inward-looking, the tool says. Angry Twitter users say 'you' a lot and write in capitals and people who have a high depression score make lots of self-references and tend to be inward-looking, the tool says. The tool also analyses a user's social style and says whether they are plugged in, personable, arrogant or spacy. 'Plugged in' tweeters are socially engaged and use social words as well as talking to specific friends, according to the tool. Personable people use positive emotional words, pose questions and reference others frequently, while those who are 'arrogant or distant' tend to be well-read with 'an arms-length approach to socialising'. 'You scored high in this category if you discuss actions instead of emotions, use big words and don’t reference yourself much,' it says. Twitter users who score highly in being a 'spacy valley girl' are excitable and have a habit of tweeting LOLLLLLs, the tool says. It also analyses user's thinking styles and tells them to what extent their tweets show they are analytical, sensory or how they seem to live in the moment. Users who are most upbeat use lots of positive words and 'we' when they tweet, whereas angry Twitter users say 'you' a lot and write in capitals, while depressed people make lots of self-references and tend to be inward-looking, the tool says. Singer Katy Perry's results are shown, which says she is depressed . Dr Pennebacker has previously developed a computer program called Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) which looks at the choice, frequency and context of words to gauge a person’s psychological state, Maria Konnikova writes for the New Yorker. 'Since the creation of the LIWC, in 1993, studies utilising the program have suggested a close connection between our language, our state of mind, and our behaviour,’ she writes. For example, one study showed that the words used on a date can predict people’s desire to be with someone, or in another situation can indicate a person’s importance at work or even their sex and mental state. The tool also analyses a user's social style and says whether they are plugged in, personable, arrogant, meaning distant, and or spacy. Kanye West's results are shown above, which show he is mostly personable .

Today show host Matt Lauer has finally exacted his revenge on Ellen DeGeneres by filling her car with 20,000 ping pong balls after weeks of being hilariously pranked by the comedian. The 57-year-old journalist shared a video montage of Ellen's past tricks, which included a spoof video which made it look as though Matt had interviewed the stars of Fifty Shades of Grey while wearing a leather harness and not much else, before showing his act of retaliation. 'I vowed I would get revenge, and the moment has finally arrived,' Matt said this morning on the show. Epic prank: Ellen DeGeneres used FaceTime to show Matt Lauer the damage he had done after he had her Porsche filled with 20,000 ping pong balls as a joke . Huge mess: When the 57-year-old opened the door to her car, thousands of ping pong balls came streaming out . Matt explained that he and his colleagues have been the targets of several of Ellen's pranks in the past few weeks, before noting that it all 'ends today'. He then showed some footage of the Today crew filling Ellen's black Porsche Cayenne with 20,000 ping pong balls which had pictures of him posed with Ellen printed on them, while she filmed an episode of her talk show inside. Matt even had the crew place a life-size cardboard cut-out of himself in one of the front seats, so that Ellen would have no doubt about who was responsible for the mischievous prank. They also changed her license plate to read 'Lotta Balls'. In shock: Ellen was in disbelief when she first saw her car that was stuffed to the brim . Next step: She didn't know what else to do except open the door to her car and lets the ping pong balls out . When Ellen walked into the parking lot and saw her car, she yelled: 'Seriously? I mean seriously.' She opened the door of her car and thousands of ping pong balls spilled out, revealing Matt’s cardboard cut-out. 'I'll get you Matt Lauer,' she continued. 'Damn you Lauer! He is littering. This is against the law. Ellen went on to search for the camera that was capturing the hilarious moment. 'You think you can just do this?’ she asked. ‘Uh-uh.' Someone eventually brought Ellen and iPad so she could FaceTime Matt. Act of revenge: While she tried to clean out her car, Ellen vowed to get Matt back for his trick . Starting to worry: While talking to Matt on FaceTime, Ellen told him that her previous pranks were just fun and games. 'Now it's on Lauer,' she warned him . 'Have you seen this?’ she asked him. She added: 'Oh, I am great. We were just about to start a beer pong tournament, so I needed like 20,000 ping pong balls, so the jokes on you Lauer.’ 'You have to admit Ellen; it took a lot of balls to pull off this prank,' Matt replied. Ellen revealed that she had already filmed another spoof video starring Matt that very day and suggested that he watch her show. 'I can't watch the show tomorrow because I am entering the witness protection program in the morning,' he joked. 'Can I just end by telling you the obvious? I adore you.' Buckle up: Ellen tried to get into her car despite it still being filled with thousands of ping pong balls . All ready: She managed to close the door, but she knew that there was no way she could drive her Porsche home in this condition . More fun: Ellen then opted to jump out of the car and swim into the pile of ping pong balls that had fallen out . And while Ellen said that she adored him as well, she warned him that he has raised the stakes – and hinted that he should prepare himself for an impressive round of retaliatory revenge pranks. 'Before it was fun and games. It was jokes,' she said. 'Now it is on Lauer.' Ellen tried to get into her car and drive home, but quickly realized it was impossible, and instead opted to abandon her attempt in favour of swimming through the ping pong balls that surrounded her car in the parking lot. Back in the studio, Matt revealed he was having second thoughts about pulling a joke on the master prankster. Making plans: The Today show crew can be seen filling Ellen's car while she was in the Warner Bros. studios taping her talk show . Personal touch: The ping pong balls even featured a small picture of Matt and Ellen on them . 'You know the definition of a nano second?’ he asked his co-hosts. 'It is the period of time between feeling good about getting her back and fearing for your life.' Savannah Guthrie noted: ' I thought it was on before.' 'That was supposed to be closure for you,' Carson Daly added. And to prove that his prank was all in good fun, Matt revealed that he never intended to leave Ellen stranded. The feud continued: Even before she knew about Matt's prank, Ellen had another trick up her sleeve. Her latest spoof video made it look like 81-year-old Florence Henderson was tearing off his close on the Today show . Sultry interview: Matt can bee seen laughing as he watched Florence Henderson ask 'him' if they could be friends with benefits . Funny moment: At one point during the striptease, Ellen made it look like Florence's bra was flung onto Al Roker's head . He had both a car service and a clean-up crew waiting nearby, so Ellen could get a ride home and her Porsche cleaned. During the segment, Matt and his co-hosts also showed a clip of Ellen's latest spoof video, which showed Matt and 81-year-old actress Florence Henderson tearing each other's clothes off on the Today show. At one point a red bra was flung on to Al Roker's head. 'This is becoming a great feud,' Savannah said before asking Ellen to leave Matt's colleagues, including herself, out of it. But Al wanted to have a united front. 'You prank one of us, you prank all of us,' he said.

Ellen has carried out a number of her own pranks on Matt in the past few weeks . The 57-year-old talk show host famously created a series of spoof videos which made it look as though Matt was wearing full bondage gear while live on air . She also played tricks on the 57-year-old’s co-hosts Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Meredith Vieira .

With injuries piling up ahead of Scotland’s final Six Nations match against Ireland, Vern Cotter has identified a solution to his selection problem. ‘We will play the Under-20s against them,’ said the Scotland head coach in his laconic, deadpan style. ‘We had eight players injured against England. How many are doubts for the Ireland match? All of them.’ Jim Hamilton, seen here tackling England's James Haskell, is one of five doubts for the Ireland game . Such was the despondent air hanging over the Scotland head coach as he spoke in the bowels of Twickenham on Saturday evening, he could be forgiven for thinking the worst at the time. Thankfully, a Scottish Rugby Union medical bulletin issued on Sunday suggested it was five players — not eight — who will require further treatment ahead of the match at BT Murrayfield. Second row Jim Hamilton, who had to come off for a time after being concussed in the first half, then had to be replaced following a back spasm, is the biggest doubt to face Ireland.

Alasdair Dickinson has a leg injury he picked up in a tackle, winger Tommy Seymour an elbow problem and flanker Blair Cowan a calf strain. The walking wounded will be excused training on Monday, with an SRU spokesman saying the medical team will be working with them over the next few days to try to ensure they can put some work in before the final Six Nations match. Vern Cotter was downbeat after the defeat, which came with a heavy price in terms of personell . Others who Cotter thought were more seriously hurt, such as Finn Russell, David Denton and Euan Murray, should be fit. ‘We have been unlucky with injuries, which hasn’t helped us,’ said Cotter, who lost Alex Dunbar in the build-up to the Calcutta Cup encounter. ‘Everybody has to be patient. We can turn the corner, come back strong and do well against Ireland. ‘Right now, we have to take that defeat to England on the chin and keep working, analysing what went wrong, what went right and moving forward. ‘I thought there were some real positive aspects for us in our game at Twickenham but we have Ireland next week and they beat England — so it will be very tough test.’ Cotter continues to insist his side are ‘heading in the right direction’ despite a fourth Six Nations defeat and a likely wooden spoon.

I saw great character. They didn’t panic, got themselves back into the match and I got a message down to them to say don’t worry about it. ‘They also showed they could change tactics when needed, which is a great thing. ‘On top of that, I thought our line-out defence and our scrum, after the first one, was very good. ‘If I thought we were being dominated from start to finish I might worry but I don’t think we are.

Just a few years ago, Lesley Hutchinson was worried her partner Chris Coulter would die in his sleep because of severe breathing problems brought on by his excess weight. Now the couple, from Newcastle upon Tyne, have shed nearly 22 stone between them – with Chris losing more than half his body weight – and have compiled a 'slim list' of things they plan to do to celebrate their amazing achievement. Tipping the scales at 29st 5lbs Chris, 51, suffered with sleep apnoea, which regularly saw him stop breathing in his sleep, and 55-year-old Lesley feared one day he might not wake up.

Chris and Lesley, who have been together for 25 years, began to have weight problems around 15 years ago. Chris said: 'We stopped smoking and replaced cigarettes with snacks like crisps, sandwiches and pies. Around the same time we got a second car so didn't need to walk places anymore. 'Then when the kids – I have two daughters and Lesley has one daughter from previous relationships – left home we fell into the habit of eating more takeaways and washing them down with a bottle of wine.'

The couple, pictured before their weightloss, began to have weight problems around 15 years ago when they began to replace cigarettes with snacks . However things changed when, in summer 2010, Chris was left mortified after a wooden chair collapsed beneath him at a family barbecue. The garden furniture broke into pieces and cut into Chris' leg, which became infected with cellulitis and worsened and ulcerated because of his weight. Soon after, Chris suffered further embarrassment when he was unable to fit into a hotel shower and the couple had to request a new room. So when his doctor, who was a Slimming World member herself, recommended Chris join his local group in May 2011, he decided losing weight was his only option.

Chris said: 'My leg was in a real mess and it was getting to the point where they didn't know what else to do, I started to worry that I might actually lose my leg. 'I knew I had to do something about my weight. I was embarrassed and worried because I thought I'd be the only man in a roomful of women, so Lesley agreed to come with me. 'As soon as we walked through the doors though, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel comfortable – it was nothing like we'd expected. Now I can't wait to go to group every week.'

PROBLEM: ‘Winter can leave your legs as scaly as a thirsty lizard,’ says Dr Patterson. ‘Those comforting hot baths will have leached away natural hydrating lipids.’ This season’s fashionable ripped jeans and off-the-shoulder tops mean every bit of you needs to be petal-soft. SOLUTION: ‘Exfoliate away dead dry skin and use a rich moisturiser all over,’ says Dr Patterson.

Thousands of infertile couples could realise their dreams of becoming parents thanks to a new test that allows IVF treatment to be tailored to a woman's individual fertility cycle. For the first time, scientists believe they are able to identify the point in a woman's cycle when there is the greatest chance an embryo will successfully implant in the womb. Repeated rounds of fertility treatment can prove emotionally and financially draining for couples desperate to become parents. There are more than 60,000 IVF cycles performed in the UK each year. Yet, just 24 per cent lead to live births. Meanwhile in the US, 175,000 IVF cycles were performed in 2013, according to the CDC. There, success rates ranged from 16 to 47 per cent, depending on a woman's age. Experts at the IVI fertility clinic in Madrid believe a new test, which identifies the point in a woman's cycle when there is the greatest chance an embryo will successfully implant, will help thousands of infertile couples realise their dream of becoming parents . While the NHS offers the treatment, strict guidelines mean many couples are forced to use private clinics, incurring bills that runs into thousands of pounds. The current treatment involves doctors performing an ultrasound to check the appearance of the lining of the womb, to assess its general health. It is known that for most women, there is a two to four day time period when the lining gives out the key chemical signals that allow the embryo to attach, leading to a pregnancy. But a team of scientists, led by Professor Juan Garcia Velasco at the IVI fertility clinic in Madrid, said they believe failed attempts often happen because an embryo is implanted at the wrong time, missing a woman's crucial window of fertility. They hope their new study will improve success rates for couples undergoing IVF, after they identified a test which can predict each woman's individual fertility window. Professor Garcia-Velasco, told MailOnline: 'The trial we are currently undertaking is trying to answer if the ERA test may help all couples from the first day they attend a fertility clinic, to detect endometrial defects. 'Or, if it will benefit only those with repeated implantation failure as the test does now. 'My hope is that this test will explain why some women do not get pregnant when good quality embryos are transferred, and thus, avoid repeated IVF failure. 'If we are able to select a good embryo and place in the uterus at the right time, success rates should be significantly higher. 'These tests are helping us doctors understand why IVF can be unsuccessful and ultimately reduce patients' frustration of unanswered questions.' He estimates around 15 per cent of cases of implantation failure 'are simply due to bad timing'. He added: 'I think it will make a significant difference in the expectations of couples and how we can explain failures. 'Until now, the endometrium was kind of a black box. Now we can say this was the problem and this is what we can do about it.' The test involves taking a biopsy of a woman's womb lining. Experts then analyse 238 genes, allowing them to determine when the woman's endometrium - the womb lining - will be most receptive to an implanted embryo. The test involves taking a biopsy of the womb lining, pictured under a microscope. Scientists are then able to analyse 238 genes to identify when the lining is at its most receptive and able to accept the embryo. A pilot study of 17 women, who had endured failed IVF attempts, saw nine become pregnant after the test . A case report detailing one woman's experience, followed by a pilot study involving 17 women, showed success rates were significantly improved after using the test. In the pilot study, none of the 17 women had become pregnant despite repeated (between one and six) rounds of IVF, when traditional techniques were used. But after the test was used to determine each woman's window of implantation, nine of the 17 became pregnant and went on to have a baby. It has previously been assumed that the window of implantation was 'constant in all women,' the researchers note. During IVF, an egg is surgically removed from a woman's ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The fertilised egg, or embryo, is then returned and implanted back into the woman's womb to grow and develop. Embryo transfer is the final part of the treatment process, and as a result women will still have to go through a rigorous treatment programme to reach the point where they may benefit from the new test being trialled by Professor Juan Garcia Velasco. Step one . A woman is given a drug to suppress her natural menstrual cycle, often in the form of a daily injection or nasal spray, for around two weeks. Step two . A fertility hormone is given, again in the form of a daily injection for between 10 and 12 days. It increases the number of eggs a woman produces, to allow experts to collect and fertilise more eggs, to try and improve the success rate. Step three . Doctors then monitor the woman and around 34 to 38 hours before her eggs are due to be collected she will be given a final hormone injection that helps your eggs to mature. Step four . For the egg collection a woman is sedated and her eggs are collected using ultrasound as a guide. A needle is inserted through the vagina and into each ovary. The eggs are then collected through the needle. Step five . The collected eggs are mixed with the woman's partner's sperm and after 16 to 20 hours they are checked to see if any have been fertilised. If the sperm are few or weak, each egg may need to be injected with individual sperm. The fertilised eggs, embryos then continue to grow in the laboratory for one to five days before they are transferred back into the womb. Once the woman's eggs have been collected she is given medication, including progesterone, to help prepare the lining of the womb to receive an embryo. Step six . The embryos are transferred back into the woman's womb. It is at this point that the test being trialled by Professor Garcia Velasco could be used to determine a woman's opportune fertility window. But their study has instead found that each woman has her own, individual window of implantation, when she can expect the best results from IVF. 'Understanding the "molecular clock" at play, regardless of the presence or absence of an embryo during the window of implantation could help to identify biomarkers of endometrial receptivity useful to create an objective personalised diagnostic test for this function,' the researchers said. Their case report details how a 39-year-old woman attended the clinic, reporting she had endured two failed attempts at IVF. Each round of IVF involved the transfer of two good quality embryos that failed to implant and a routine infertility assessment was normal. After counselling, the couple decided to pursue further rounds of IVF. But two subsequent rounds proved unsuccessful. The next step saw experts giving the woman hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as well as progesterone replacement. Three days after ovulation, triggered by the hormone therapy, another attempt failed. Another attempt five days after hormone therapy also proved unsuccessful. Despite the repeated failure, the couple remained determined to become pregnant. The researchers then attempted to diagnose the woman's window of implantation, using the endometrial receptivity array test (ERA). The test is based on the expression of 238 genes that are related to how receptive the womb lining is, established after a biopsy. 'The test identifies "personalised" window of implantation in women with recurrent implantation failure,' the report said. The team took a biopsy of the woman's womb lining five days after hormone therapy - the point at which the previous attempt had failed. It revealed her 'endometrium was pre-receptive', leading them to conclude they had been implanting the embryo too early. The report notes: 'A two-day displacement of her window of implantation was diagnosed, and this determined the need to repeat the ERA test in a further HRT cycle after seven days of progesterone replacement.' As a result, two embyros were implanted at the key seven-day point, after progesterone replacement, and the woman became pregnant with twins. The pregnancy was uneventful and twins boys were delivered by Caesarean section at 36 weeks. A pilot study followed with 17 patients taking part. Each had suffered between one and six implantation failures. The researchers diagnosed each woman's window of implantation and instead of routine embryo transfer, each woman underwent implantation according to her cycle. Of the women taking part nine became pregnant and gave birth. For one of the 17 women, six rounds of IVF had previously failed. Yet after performing the test, the researchers discovered all previous implantation attempts had been two days premature. After two further rounds of IVF, based on her individual cycle, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to her baby. Professor Garcia-Velasco is now leading a clinical trial of the test, with around 2,500 women who have suffered two or more failed attempts, in more than 10 countries taking part.

Primary school students in Victoria have been punished for using the bathroom during lesson time, leading children to wet themselves in class. Parents have expressed their outrage after learning that students at Bellbridge Primary School in Hoppers Crossing, south-west Melbourne, were fined and kept in during lunch and recess if they went to the toilet during class time. Danielle Henderson, whose 11-year-old daughter Lauren was fined $50 in play money for using the bathroom, said the issue was reported to the school council more than a week ago. Danielle Henderson's (right) 11-year-old daughter Lauren (left) was fined $50 for using the bathroom . Students at Bellbridge Primary School in Hoppers Crossing, south-west Melbourne, have been punished for using the bathroom during lesson time . 'I found out about it a couple of weeks ago via a Bellbridge parents Facebook site,' Ms Henderson told Daily Mail Australia. 'There were a huge number of parents in uproar. 'The school has been fully aware of this for quite some time now.' Ms Henderson said children had been wetting themselves in class and had to be sent home for changes of clothes, while others had to record their bathroom breaks on class whiteboards. 'When kids are that age they like to do the right thing, so if a teacher says they can't go they're going to hold and hold and hold,' she said. 'I haven't had to worry about [my daughter] having an accident, she's 11, but my worry is she's going to end up with a urinary tract infection or something along those lines. 'She has to write up the time she went to toilet and what time she came in, so her name goes up on whiteboard for 29 other children to see. Parents have expressed their outrage after learning that students were fined and kept in during recess if they went to the toilet during class . 'Each child's toileting record is up for public display - I'd love to see how an adult would react to that in the workplace.' Ms Henderson said a parent who was also a school council member agreed to raise the issue at a meeting more than a week ago, but says it was 'brushed off'. 'A number of parents went to individual classroom teachers who again have brushed it off,' she said. 'If there is a child using a toilet break as an excuse to get out of work deal with that particular child rather than punish the whole school.' Bellbridge Primary School principal Debbie Clancy said she became aware of the practice on Monday and has now stopped it. 'Of course, our students are free to go to the toilet whenever they need — and we would never stop a child from going to the toilet during class time, or penalise them for doing so,' Ms Clancy told the Herald Sun. 'A small number of classes have deducted points earned in the 'earn and learn' system as a way to discourage children from using the toilet during class time. 'As this does not fit in with our positive approach, this no longer occurs at our school.'

<s>[INST] Primary school students in Victoria have been punished for using the bathroom during lesson time, leading children to wet themselves in class. Parents have expressed their outrage after learning that students at Bellbridge Primary School in Hoppers Crossing, south-west Melbourne, were fined and kept in during lunch and recess if they went to the toilet during class time. Danielle Henderson, whose 11-year-old daughter Lauren was fined $50 in play money for using the bathroom, said the issue was reported to the school council more than a week ago. Danielle Henderson's (right) 11-year-old daughter Lauren (left) was fined $50 for using the bathroom . Students at Bellbridge Primary School in Hoppers Crossing, south-west Melbourne, have been punished for using the bathroom during lesson time . 'I found out about it a couple of weeks ago via a Bellbridge parents Facebook site,' Ms Henderson told Daily Mail Australia. 'There were a huge number of parents in uproar. 'The school has been fully aware of this for quite some time now.' Ms Henderson said children had been wetting themselves in class and had to be sent home for changes of clothes, while others had to record their bathroom breaks on class whiteboards. 'When kids are that age they like to do the right thing, so if a teacher says they can't go they're going to hold and hold and hold,' she said. 'I haven't had to worry about [my daughter] having an accident, she's 11, but my worry is she's going to end up with a urinary tract infection or something along those lines. 'She has to write up the time she went to toilet and what time she came in, so her name goes up on whiteboard for 29 other children to see. Parents have expressed their outrage after learning that students were fined and kept in during recess if they went to the toilet during class . 'Each child's toileting record is up for public display - I'd love to see how an adult would react to that in the workplace.' Ms Henderson said a parent who was also a school council member agreed to raise the issue at a meeting more than a week ago, but says it was 'brushed off'. 'A number of parents went to individual classroom teachers who again have brushed it off,' she said. 'If there is a child using a toilet break as an excuse to get out of work deal with that particular child rather than punish the whole school.' Bellbridge Primary School principal Debbie Clancy said she became aware of the practice on Monday and has now stopped it. 'Of course, our students are free to go to the toilet whenever they need — and we would never stop a child from going to the toilet during class time, or penalise them for doing so,' Ms Clancy told the Herald Sun. 'A small number of classes have deducted points earned in the 'earn and learn' system as a way to discourage children from using the toilet during class time. 'As this does not fit in with our positive approach, this no longer occurs at our school.' [/INST] Primary school students punished for using bathroom during lesson time .

After-effects: Jay Francis shows off his face after he was stung nearly 400 times by an angry swarm on Friday while watching a baseball game with his family . An 89-year-old Utah grandfather who survived being stung by nearly 400 bees while he watched a baseball game with his family on Friday has described the terrifying attack. 'First it was one, then two, then three. Then they were everywhere,' said Jay Francis of the attack. 'It was just horrible. My head started aching. I can't believe how sensitive it was.' 'My whole head was just swollen. I felt like I was a lucky man after hearing the statements the doctors had to make,' he said. The swarm of nearly 1,000 angry bees descended on the baseball game at Elks Field, sending players running and Francis and his family trying to duck for cover. Francis' son, Kevin told KSL he was shocked to turn and see his father enveloped by the bees which had been disturbed from their underground hive. 'His face was just covered in bees. You saw his eyes and his mouth,' Kevin Francis said. The Francis family tried to get the bees off of Jay for 15 minutes before the St. George Fire Department arrived to help. 'Since they were being so aggressive, we used water and foam to destroy those aggressive bees,' said Robert Hooper an official with the St. George Fire Department. 'There were people running everywhere, swatting at bees. It was very chaotic.' Once the swarm was fought off, Francis was rushed to hospital where he was treated for nearly 400 hundred bee stings. Scroll Down for Video . Gruesome: With an ice-pack on his head to reduce the swelling (left), Jay reveals dozens of stings to his left ear . Spray away: Fire crews in St. George, Utah, blast a swarm of bees that attacked a baseball on Friday with foam and water to kill them. Several were injured . His wife was treated for almost a dozen stings herself and his son was hit with 50 stings. The bee attack during the baseball game began when a beehive near a telephone pole at the baseball field was disturbed just after 11 a.m. Lone Peak High School baseball coach Matt Bezzant told The Spectrum newspaper of St. George that the bees came from a dugout and players were chased by as many as 70 bees at one point. Fire crews doused the dugout area with a chemical foam to combat the bees. Swarmed: Baseball fans watching a tournament at Elk's Field in St. George on Friday got the scare of their lives when hundreds of bees began attacking them while they were sitting on the bleachers . Attack: One man was seriously injured and several other people received minor injuries when over 1,000 bees swarmed Elks Field in St. George, Utah, about 11am Friday after their underground hive was disturbed . Casey Lofthouse, a local beekeeper and a member of the Washington County Search and Rescue team, told the St. George News that 'bees will protect their home'. 'Both Africanized or European honeybees will protect their hives. The main difference is that the Africanized bees are more aggressive,' he added. Lofthouse said in the event of a swarm of bees, cover your head and neck as best as possible and vacate the area, preferably going indoors.

Jay Francis was watching a baseball game just outside of St. George . Hive was disturbed and caused havoc at the game as the swarm attacked . Francis was told by doctors he was lucky to be alive after he was mauled .

Ray Rice claims he felt close to suicide during the mass outrage over footage that showed him punching his then-fiancee unconscious. It is just over a year since the former Baltimore Ravens player was captured on surveillance cameras attacking Janay Palmer in the elevator of a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Reflecting on the past year, which saw him dropped from the league, Rice told the Baltimore Sun he felt like 'it wasn't worth living'. 'The big picture of it all, being the person that I am, I really felt horrible,' Rice told the newspaper in an interview. Scroll down for video . Seen here with wife Janay, Rice thanked and apologized to fans, the city of Baltimore, his former team, and even Raven's owner Steve Bisciotti as he prepared to leave town for him home state of New York . 'You almost want to punish yourself. I know I'm never going to win the battle of public opinion. Honestly, I almost felt like at one point that it wasn't worth living. I see why people commit suicide. 'It hurt that bad. I was low, real low. It hurt that bad because you worked your whole life to do all the right things and then you're the world's most hated person. 'It was really tough. My daughter, oh Lord, I grew up without a father, there's no way I could check out on my own family.' It comes after he issued an apology to Ravens fans, who turned up in their droves last year to exchange their Rice jerseys for new ones with other players' names. Rice was booted from the Baltimore Ravens after footage was leaked showing him knocking out his now-wife in a casino elevator . The NFL lifted the ban on Rice in November and allowed him to become a free agent but he remains untouched by any team . In a statement on Facebook, he wrote: 'To all the kids who looked up to me, I'm truly sorry for letting you down, but I hope it's helped you learn that one bad decision can turn your dream into a nightmare. 'There is no excuse for domestic violence, and I apologize for the horrible mistake I made.' The running back, who helped the Ravens win the Super Bowl in 2012, is currently a free agent, after his indefinite ban from the league was overturned upon appeal in November. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has said Rice will never play for the team again. But Rice said he valued the time he spent with Bisciotti, general manager Ozzie Newsome and head coach John Harbaugh. Rice told his fans that 'one bad decision can turn your dream into a nightmare' 'I love you all very much, and I'll always be proud to say I played for the Baltimore Ravens,' he said. The NFL's inept handling of Rice's case plunged the league into crisis. He was originally suspended just two games, after a hotel video showed him pulling an unconscious Janay Palmer from an elevator in an Atlantic City casino. The punishment was widely denounced as too lenient, and when another video that showed the actual punch surfaced, the Ravens sacked him and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell banned him indefinitely. The NFL Players Association successfully appealed on the grounds that the league violated labor laws by increasing Rice's punishment after the second video surfaced because it gave no real new information on the case.

Ray Rice says he understands how people can feel suicidal . Rice has been a free agent since November when the NFL lifted his suspension, he has yet to get close to signing with another team .

The powerbrokers behind Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg will meet in London on Wednesday in an effort to finally make a fight that could be the biggest in Britain this year. Barry McGuigan, who manages Frampton, will sit down with Quigg’s promoter Eddie Hearn at breakfast to try to iron out the issues standing between the two super-bantamweight world champions. If successful, the hope is for a summer showdown that will net a seven-figure payday for each man, but significant obstacles remain in the way, with Hearn concerned that unless progress is made in the next two weeks then the long-awaited fight will be delayed further. IBF world champion Carl Frampton (left) lands a punch on Chris Avalos during their fight in February . Avalos is dropped to the canvas during their IBF super bantamweight world title fight in Belfast . Scott Quigg (right) deals a blow to Hidenori Othake before winning by unanimous decision in November . The principle challenge surrounds television companies, with IBF champion Frampton enjoying huge exposure on ITV while Hearn’s fighters, including WBA (regular) champion Quigg, operate on Sky Sports. Hearn has already submitted a proposal for staging a pay-per-view fight on Sky and, as such, is likely to offer a greater purse. But McGuigan has long been adamant that the fight should prioritise the exposure of terrestrial television over ‘greed’. Hearn told Sportsmail yesterday: ‘I will meet Barry McGuigan and Carl Frampton’s team in London on Wednesday. It’s the fight everyone wants to see - two world champions from Britain in the same division. They simply have to fight. Frampton extended his perfect record to 20 wins after his fifth round TKO victory against Avalos in February . A fight between Frampton and Quigg (centre), who has 30 wins with 22 by KO, is a tantalising prospect . ‘I have given my proposal to them and am waiting to hear what they have from their side. I feel we need to make progress now. The hope is for a summer fight, possibly on June 20. ‘I think we need to reach some kind of agreement soon, probably the next two or three weeks, if we are to get this fight on in the summer. It really is the fight people want to see.’ Frampton, 28, extended his perfect record to 20 wins against Chris Avalos in February, while Quigg is unbeaten with 30 wins and two draws. Options for staging the bout currently include Belfast, which would mean a home fight for Frampton, as well as Manchester and the O2 Arena in London. Meanwhile, a decision is set to be made on James DeGale’s world-title fight against Andre Dirrell. The pair had been expected to fight next month in Chicago for the IBF super-middleweight belt vacated by Carl Froch, but Sportsmail understands that bout is now likely to take place in May in the US.

Super-bantamweight Battle of Britain is taking a step in the right direction . Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg could touch gloves in summer of this year . However an agreement must be made as to where the fight will be televised .

Nick Clegg has revealed plans for a career after politics as the new David Attenborough . He has often complained about the animal antics of MPs in Parliament. But it seems Nick Clegg might not want to leave that all behind if he loses his seat at the election. The Deputy Prime Minister has revealed plans for a career after politics as the new David Attenborough. Asked about his future away from Westminster, the Lib Dem leader told Attitude magazine: ‘I’ve always wanted to make wildlife documentaries.’ Mr Clegg, who is already good friends with documentary maker Louis Theroux, faces a tough fight to keep hold of his Sheffield Hallam seat and polls have predicted his party could lose more than half of its MPs. The Lib Dem leader demonstrated his love of the animal kingdom when he revealed one of this favourite moments in power was getting to feed a seal in Cornwall. ’It was brilliant,’ he told MailOnline last month. He sent a picture of his moment with the seal to his children, his parents, his whole family. His baffled sister asked: ’Why is this the only picture you've emailed me of yourself in the last several months”. But he insisted: ’I was so excited about that.’ David Cameron told Attitude, which conducted interviews with the all the main party leaders, he is a fan of the American indie rock band The War on Drugs. He said: ‘[My wife] Samantha got me listening to a new thing called The War on Drugs. I can recommend it. They’re a band, you can find them on Spotify or iTunes – anyway, they’re good!’ Ed Miliband boasted of how singer Ellie Goulding last year asked him to one of her gigs. He said: I’m an Ellie Goulding fan. She invited me to this benefit concert she was doing for the homeless just before Christmas. I really like her.’ Mr Cameron revealed that the LGBT figure he most admires is television presenter Clare Balding, who he said is a ‘wonderful human being’. He said: ‘Everyone says [Enigma codebreaker] Alan Turing, and of course he was an amazing man and I’ve seen The Imitation Game and I thought it was brilliant, but I’m going to go with Clare Balding. ‘I’m a big fan. I love her enthusiasm; her zest for life. It doesn’t matter what sport she’s talking about, she can make it interesting. She’s a wonderful human being.’ Scroll down for video . As Deputy Prime Minister for the last five years he has toured the world, met the great and the good and been at the heart of an extraordinary experiment in coalition government but the thing he is most pleased to have done is feed a seal in Cornwall this month . The Prime Minister also told how he had raised the issue of gay rights with Russian President Vladimir Putin at 3am. He said: ‘We raise these issues with every country, and I personally remember raising it in the middle of the night in a meeting with Vladimir Putin, at about 3 in the morning at the G20 he was chairing. ‘So we don’t hold back from raising... We recognise that some countries take a radically different approach, but we should tell them why we think we’ve got the right one.’ Nigel Farage talked about how he has spent time with ex-boxing promoter Kellie Maloney, formerly known as Frank, since she has been living as a woman. The Ukip leader said it was ‘very interesting’ talking to the former Ukip candidate. He said: ‘I was friendly with Frank for a long time. ‘Since he’s changed to be Kellie, we have met, talked – very interesting conversation. Very interesting. It’s not a subject I know a huge amount about, but it was very interesting talking to Kellie. ‘There are lots of things in life that we’re curious about, and it’s not until you’ve talked to someone who’s been there that you get an inkling of how you might feel in a similar situation. ‘I think the Kellie story is a very interesting story which has caught the public imagination in a very big way. Quite unlike I’ve ever seen before.’ Mr Clegg revealed his dream to make wildlife documentaries like David Attenborough, who famously met gorillas in Rwanda in 1979 . In a separate article for Countryside Alliance magazine, Mr Clegg told how spending time among wildlife in rural areas ‘lifts your heart’. He wrote: ‘Rural Britain is what makes this country the envy of the world. From the beaches of St Ives to the rolling hills of Inverness, we are privileged to have on our doorsteps areas of outstanding natural beauty brimming with wildlife and warm communities who lift your heart whenever you visit. ‘There is no doubt that the British countryside has provided wealth, health and happiness for generations of Brits and tourists.’ Mr Cameron has often boasted about how his music collection is packed with trendy new bands and obscure artists, such as Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit. But in January, he was left embarrassed after folk singer Nick Mulvey said he felt a ‘bit sick’ when he received the Prime Minister’s approval.

A young German woman has been killed fighting alongside Kurdish forces against the Islamic State in northeast Syria, a monitoring group has reported. Ivana Hoffmann, 19, died on Saturday while fighting with the Kurdish Peoples Protection Units (YPG) near the Syrian town of Tel Tamr, YPG spokesman Nawaf Khalil said. Hoffmann, a member of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) in Turkey, joined YPG fighters about six months ago, according to a statement released by the MLKP.

'Fought to the last bullet': German fighter Ivana Hoffmann, a member of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) in Turkey has been killed fighting alongside Kurdish forces against the Islamic State . At least 40 Kurdish fighters and ISIS jihadists have been killed in the battle for Tal Tamr, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said earlier on Sunday. The MLKP party statement referred to Hoffmann by her nom de guerre, Avashin Tekoshin, and said she died in pre-dawn clashes with Islamic State militants on March 7. 'Our comrade Avashin had been at the front using her weapons to resist the bloody onslaught of the ISIS gang against the Assyrian villages in Tel Tamr for days,' the statement said. 'During these clashes, dozens of gang members were killed. Our comrade Avashin fought to the last bullet together with the fighters of the YPG.' Relatives mourn at a mass funeral for 30 YPG fighters killed in clashes with ISIS which led to the liberation of Tal Hamis and Tal Barak, located close to the city of Qamishli in Syria . The Kurdish fighters died along with a former British soldier in battles with ISIS in an area southwest of the town of Tal Hamis, which Kurdish fighters seized from ISIS last week . Relatives and well-wishers mourn at a mass funeral held for thirty YPG fighters in Tal Hamis, Syria . The party statement did not mention how many other MLKP loyalists have travelled to Syria to fight the Islamic State group. German authorities say some 650 people have travelled from Germany to Syria and Iraq, to join Islamist groups. But they haven't said how many are estimated to have joined Kurdish or Christian groups opposing ISIS. The head of Germany's military intelligence agency, Christof Gramm, told daily Die Welt in an interview published Monday that about 20 former German soldiers had traveled to the conflict zone.

Rojava is the beginning. Rojava is hope,' she said. A German Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Sawsan Chebli, said she was unaware of reports about Hoffmann's death.

Women account for around 35 per cent of the fighting force of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), numbering around 7,000, and receive the same training as their male comrades. Mr Scurfield, a former Royal Marine, was the first Briton to be killed fighting ISIS after he was hit by mortar fire near the Syrian city of Qamishli. Last week, it was reported that his Facebook messages revealed his frustration at the lack of discipline displayed by the Kurdish fighters. His posts and messages give a glimpse of day-to-day life for those fighting ISIS, advises interested friends on how to join up and reveals the Kurdish fighters lack of discipline, but huge determination. He also spoke of his fear that the Kurds would tell his mother he had gone to Syria. The messages, published by The Sun, said he began looking for a way to get out to Syria to join up with the YPG at least a month before he arrived in Syria. He was recruited by the Lions of Rojava and by November 3 had clear plans in place for reaching their base in Syria. On December 6, using a Facebook account set up under a fake name so his friends could keep in touch, he messaged to say he has arrived safely in Syria, and met up with two other foreign fighters. But his parents still apparently had no idea where he was - with Mr Scurfield, of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, revealing on December 15: 'I've heard about the authorities threatening to tell my parents! 'It is thought the 25-year-old told his friends he was going to do humanitarian work in the war-torn country last year after being 'horrified by the atrocities carried out by ISIS'. It is unclear what Mr Scurfield told his parents, archaeologists Chris and Vicci. Eventually, it seems the Royal Marines did take matters into their own hands, informing his parents sometime between Christmas and January 5. In his final Facebook post, Mr Scurfield, who was an expert in battlefield medicine, revealed: 'The Corps told my mum and I think she's taken it pretty well, I might even think she is a little bit proud.' The messages and posts also give an idea of what foreign fighters heading for Syria to fight with the YPG can expect. Mr Scurfield (pictured kneeling, centre) revealed foreign fighters frustration with the Kurds lack of discipline, but also recorded how impressed he was with their attitude . Mr Scurfield revealed 'quite a lot of Westerners' pack up and leave after a short time, disappointed by the Kruds' 'skills and drills'. But Mr Scurfield was impressed by the attitude of the Kurdish fighters - who are the only troops on the ground fighting . 'The Kurds don't do stuff like us but they never drip about going on patrol,' he wrote. Mr Scurfield's messages also reveal he was waiting for fighting to intensify once more, which would happen in February and March, after the winter came to an end. But then there is silence from the former soldier, and nothing more is thought to have been heard by friends, who were told this week he died on Monday was hit by mortar fire while battling alongside Kurdish forces near the Syrian city of Qamishli. Friends, both in the UK and Syria, have paid tribute to him since. Jordan Matson, a former U.S. soldier now fighting in Syria, wrote: 'Words cannot describe how honored I have been to fight at your side Sehid Kemal (Konstandinos Erik Scurfield). 'We were together from his first day here and you couldn't ask for a more disciplined warrior.'

The story, which is recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther, tells the tale of how an advisor to King Ahasuerus named Haman planned to kill all the Jews, only for his wicked plot to be thwarted by the king's wife Esther and her adoptive father Mordecai. Haman had selected a day on which he would annihilate the entire Jewish population and had sent out a decree bearing the King's seal, ordering that every Jewish man, woman and child. But Esther - who had been chosen as Ahasuerus's wife by taking part in a beauty contest and concealing the fact she was Jewish - later convinced the King to send out a new decree allowing the Jews to rise up and defend themselves - thus saving their lives. 'It is commemorated with a day of feasting with presents of food and charity given to the poor,' a member of staff at The Board of Deputies of British Jews told MailOnline. 'The story is read out in synagogues and it really is a carnival. It's a very happy time. 'Children traditionally get dressed up as Esther, or the King but they can wear anything they like really.

Kevin Pietersen is still on track to play in this summer's Caribbean Premier League for the St Lucia Zouks. Organisers confirmed the schedule on Tuesday, in a press release which lists Pietersen as one of its stars - alongside West Indies big-hitter Chris Gayle, Martin Guptill and Jacques Kallis among others. Pietersen negotiated a release from the majority of his Indian Premier League contract with Sunrisers Hyderabad next month and in May so that he could agree a new contract with Surrey. Kevin Pietersen negotiated a release from his IPL contract so that he could agree a new contract with Surrey . Pietersen has been in Australia for the Cricket World Cup and this picture suggests he is struggling with jetlag . The superstar batsman, sacked by England last year after their Ashes whitewash defeat, is hoping a return to four-day county cricket may yet pave the way for a Test recall. New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves has hinted that could be a possibility, if Pietersen performs well. The 34-year-old has said he will 'do anything' to play for England again, and dreams of being back for this summer's Ashes rematch - a series which runs from July 8 to August 24. Pietersen agreed in the close season to return to play for the Zouks, as he did last summer. His commitments for them may, however, clash with part of the Ashes - or his hopes of continuing to press his claims with runs for Surrey. The South African-born batsman hasn't given up on receiving a call-up for the Ashes Tests this summer . The CPL season begins on June 20 and ends on July 26 and the tournament's international director of cricket, Tom Moody, is confident Pietersen will be there. 'At this stage he sees himself very much as part of the CPL, he's made the commitment and will have played a lot of county cricket at that time,' he told the CPL's official website. 'We don't see that changing, he hasn't indicated that's going to be the case (to pull out) but if he's suddenly picked in an Ashes Test match that's all going to change very quickly. 'I think that is probably not a realistic target for him unless something dramatic happens between now and then. It's going to be hard for him, there's a lot of hurdles to be overcome; one, form, which will be his easiest hurdle; two, his fitness and three is his building bridges. There are many to be built after what has been said from both parties over a long period of time.' Pietersen shared a picture of himself celebrating Australia's World Cup win with James Faulkner .

Wojciech Szczesny can regain his place as Arsenal number one if he dedicates himself completely to the task, according to former double-winning goalkeeper Bob Wilson. The Poland international is expected to feature in the FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester United on Monday night, provided he recovers from the virus which stopped him from being on the bench for the midweek Barclays Premier League win at QPR. Szczesny, 24, has not started a league game since the 2-0 defeat at Southampton on New Year's Day, where he was culpable for the goals and afterwards was also caught smoking in the showers. That indiscretion resulted in a fine from the club. Wojciech Szczesny (right) has not started a game for Arsenal since Southampton on New Year's Day . The Polish shot-stopper has been ousted by David Ospina (right) but is likely to play on Monday night . Despite Colombian David Ospina making the most of his opportunities in recent weeks, Wilson, part of the Gunners' 1971 league and FA Cup-winning side, still believes 6ft 5in Szczesny has what it takes to cement a regular place between the posts once more. 'From the time Wojciech got into the Arsenal first team there were a lot who asked if he was good enough and I thought, "this boy has the potential to really be a solid, outstanding goalkeeper". I still believe that because he is - for his position - still relatively young,' Wilson said. 'All I would a say to him is "look, Arsenal is one of the greatest football clubs. If you go from here I am not sure you are ever going to get a club as good as this. At your age now you need to dedicate yourself to being the best you can be, to the exclusion of a lot of other things in your life".' Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson says Szczesny must work hard to regain his place in the team . Ospina has made the most of his opportunity, tying down the No 1 goalkeeping position at the Emirates . Wilson recalled: 'I was a very late starter, but once I was in the Arsenal side, my family almost came second to my ambition. 'I devoted every moment to regular training and then when the boys went in for their bath, I stayed out [on the field]. 'I wanted to make sure I never ever left the game saying I could have been better, so my message to Wojciech would be "come on, prove how good you can be".' Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is confident Szczesny, who has played in Arsenal's last two FA Cup ties, will be sharp if selected again.

Kenneth French glared Tuesday at the man awaiting his sentence for fatally shooting French's 2-year-old daughter in what authorities said was a revenge killing. 'I just want him to know he's a coward. He's a punk,' French told the court. 'If he'd have left my baby out of this, it would have been done a different way.' Minutes later, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Ulysses Boykin told Raymone Jackson, 25, that he would spend the rest of his life in prison without parole. The sentence was mandatory.

Kamiya Gross was shot in the head on July 1, 2014, outside a house in Inkster, southwest of Detroit. French and a 13-year-old girl, Chelsea Lancaster, were wounded in the attack. Kamiya was the intended target, police initially said, in retaliation for an earlier shooting in which Jackson held the girl's father responsible.

About five hours later, Inkster police received a 911 call about shots fired outside a home in the 30000 block of Carlyle Street. Kamiya Gross was shot at a point blank range and was pronounced dead at the scene. She was just 10 days shy of her third birthday, which she had been hoping to celebrate with her many cousins at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.

He was released in March 2014 for good behavior, about three months before Kamiya was slain.

She said Ms Harnum could not have behaved in the way Gittany said she had - clambering onto the balcony - without leaving fingerprints. She said it was likely that Miss Harnum was rendered unconscious before she plunged to her death.

Anjali Damania says leaders should take the initiative to change AAP, not simply blog or complain . The letters by Admiral L. Ramdas and Prashant Bhushan are the ones that matter, and the issues they raised should be addressed. My objection is that instead of merely raising questions, people should contribute to the party by working for it. The problems have to be, and will be, addressed. It won’t take more than a month or so for the party to set everything right. Talking about the funds, I will say let the expenses and accounts reach the office. We have fought three elections in a year, which is too much for any small party. Every single issue raised is important for the party. The only problem is that this should not be done via the media; it needs to be done by holding internal talks. Mayank Gandhi should have demanded that the recordings and the minutes be made public in the meeting which he had attended. What is the meaning of simply raising questions? Every leader needs to think about it. If a volunteer is punished when he is wrong, even leaders should be held accountable. The party’s national executive was called only to tackle the problems. The issues raised are important, and people should take the onus to set the system right and not simply raise questions or write blogs. I genuinely feel Prashantji is a very respectful person. When he made those statements, my respect (for him) went down a bit. I would definitely like to see him as a leader of the party. We don’t expect him to make a mistake at all. There is no question of his marginalisation. He should be supported for a larger, better role by everyone. Ankit Lal, Ashutosh and Khetan need to apologise sincerely for what they have done. They need to be pulled up. Every volunteer wants transparency on accounts, candidate selection and other decisions. We had six months after the Lok Sabha polls. Why didn’t those who raise questions help carve out these mechanisms then? The camp system is wrong and if it exists, it should be demolished. I do not want to comment on Yogendra Yadav at all. As a volunteer I beg and plead all leaders to thrash out their differences. We should have more faces, there are many leading lights. And women need to be brought forward.

Legal battle: Dentist Anca Macavei, who tried to treat a patient in McDonald's, outside the High Court today, where she is fighting the General Dental Council's decision that she should be struck off . A London dentist who was struck off after trying to work on a woman’s teeth in a McDonald’s restaurant is fighting the decision. Anca Claudia Macavei attempted to fit a bridge in the mouth of an unnamed patient after setting up a temporary surgery in the fast-food chain's Cannon Street restaurant in 2012. And when the woman refused to be treated, Miss Macavei insisted that it was necessary and tried to do the work in a hallway of a nearby dental practice. Miss Macavei, who is registered in Tulcea, Romania, has been suspended since last July when the General Dental Council (GDC) ruled she should be struck off. At the time, the GDC said her fitness to practice was ‘impaired’ by misconduct. Miss Macavei is now fighting a last-ditch battle to overturn that decision at the High Court. Miss Macvei had previously practised in Tavistock, Devon, but was living in London and advertising for Romanian patients online when she met Patient 1. She had an informal arrangement to use the Cannon Street Practice surgery on an ‘ad-hoc basis’ for seeing patients. But her relationship with the practice manager deteriorated and she was stuck with only limited access to the premises. On February 18, 2012, she met with Patient 1 in a McDonald’s close to the surgery. Last July, the GDC professional conduct committee found, on the balance of probabilities, that she had tried to work on the woman’s teeth in the restaurant. ‘Patient 1 was clear and specific in her evidence on this issue,’ it said in its decision. ‘She stated that you tried to put bridges in her mouth whilst in the McDonald’s and, when she refused, you insisted that it was necessary, to see if they would fit. ‘You confirmed in evidence that your access rights to the Cannon Street Practice had already been withdrawn by the time you met with Patient 1 at McDonald’s. ‘In the circumstances, the committee found that it was more likely than not that you did attempt a fitting of the bridges in that unsuitable environment, considering that you had nowhere else to go at that time. ‘The committee was satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you also attempted to provide dental treatment to Patient 1 in the hallway outside the Cannon Street Practice. ‘Both you and Patient 1 recalled that when you left McDonald’s, the entrance to the practice was open, as renovation work was being carried out. ‘Patient 1 told the committee that you both entered the hallway of the practice, where you tried again to fit the bridges. ‘She said that you told her that you had no access to your surgery because you had lost the key. ‘The committee found that it was more likely than not that this did happen following your failed attempt to fit the bridges in a more public setting where the patient was understandably uncomfortable.’ She was also found responsible for a ‘catalogue’ of other failings in her work with the patient and another. Miss Macavei, who is registered in Tulcea, Romania, but lives in London, was visibly emotional as she addressed the judge at the High Court today. She claims that the GDC’s decision to erase her name from the register was ‘disproportionate’. Suspension or conditions on her practice would have sufficed. Temporary practice: Miss Macavei tried to fit a bridge in Patient 1 in this McDonald's restaurant in Cannon Street, London. When the woman refused to be treated, she tried to do the work in a nearby hallway . James Townsend, for the GDC, is contesting Miss Macavei’s application. He said: ‘Given Ms Macavei’s catalogue of failings, lack of insight and failure to engage over more than two years with an attempt to help her, then to engage in a half-hearted way, the GDC submits that it cannot possibly be said that the decision of the professional conduct committee was wrong.’ The GDC made its decision to strike Miss Macavei off last July and she has been suspended since then pending her appeal to the High Court. Mrs Justice Patterson reserved judgment and will decide Miss Macavei’s future at a later date.

A police official called a drive-by shooting one of the worst mass shootings in Northern California's recent history after it took the lives of three people and wounded four others. Stockton police Officer Joe Silva said the area around Madison Market had a reputation for being a bad neighborhood, even before police responded Tuesday evening to find three killed. One woman was found fatally shot out on the sidewalk, while two other victims shot inside were taken to the hospital where they later died of their injuries, according to News10 ABC. Scroll down for video . Shooting: Emergency responders transport one of the victims of the shooting, which killed three and injured four others . On Wednesday, San Joaquin County officials identified the two women as 20-year-old Aliyah Taylor and 27-year-old Arniska Lofton and the male victim as 23-year-old Kabin Kennebrew. Four other men, ages 24, 25, 32 and 38, were taken to the hospital with injuries and are expected to survive. Some said they believed those who were shot did not have gang ties, including Kayla Sandoval, who said was upset by the fact that innocent people were caught up in the violence. 'It's a horrible feeling - a horrible feeling when you know these people and you know they didn't deserve what's going on,' Sandoval told KCRA. Police spoke with witnesses who reported that up to 40 shots had been fired, though no arrests have been made and police are still uncertain whether there were multiple gunmen. 'It (was like), "pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,"' Allison Deneau said. Shooting: Stockton police confirmed multiple victims in the shooting at Madison Market, and said that one victim had died on the spot, while another two later died in hospital . Crowd control: Police tried to break up crowds that had formed after the shooting as ambulance crews tried to transport the wounded . Scene: The shooting occurred at the Madison Market, on the corner of Madison and Park Streets, in Stockton, California, on Tuesday night . Fox40 reporter Tia Ewing tweeted from the scene that police said it was a gang-related drive-by shooting. 'Saddest part in this was watching a mother learn her child was shot dead in front of the Madison Market,' Ewing posted online. Ewing also reported that the market was popular hangout for kids in the neighborhood. Violence is not foreign to Stockton, which saw 49 killings last year, an increase from the year before. The city hit record numbers with 58 homicides in 2011, and 71 in 2012. In comparison, Riverside, a similarly sized city of about 300,000 people in Southern California, had 13 homicides in 2011 and 16 in 2012. Stockton, which sits about 80 miles east of San Francisco and is a gateway to Yosemite National Park, was once an official "All-America City" before the collapse of the housing market. In the years that followed, Stockton twice led Forbes magazine's list of "America's most miserable cities." In 2012, it became the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy before Detroit made the move in 2013. Stockton emerged from bankruptcy last fall after the judge approved its reorganization plan. At one point, the police union was so upset over layoffs and a record homicide rate that it posted billboards tracking the city's body count and disclosing the city manager's phone number. One blood-spattered sign read: 'Welcome to the 2nd most dangerous city in California: Stop laying off cops!' The city has tried to reduce violence. A program called Operation Peacekeeper uses street-wise people trained in conflict resolution, mediation, community organizing and mentoring to work in schools, parks, street corners and apartment complexes. Workers respond to areas where violent crimes have occurred in an attempt to talk with young people and prevent retaliations. On Wednesday, mourners had left candles, notes and flowers for the three victims killed in the shooting. 'Why would you be willing to take a life for something so senseless?' Sandoval said.

'It makes me unique and memorable, which is especially important for the career I've chosen.' When Cassandra was born with a huge brown birthmark on her right cheek, her parents, Richard, 60, a power engineer, and France, 50, a school caretaker, were given the option to have it removed, but concerned that it would leave her face heavily scarred, they decided against it. Cassandra says she is happy with the decision that her parents made as the effects of surgery could have been extremely damaging. 'As my birthmark sunk through several layers of skin, plastic surgery was the only option for removal. Doctors gave my parents a choice, warning them there could be scarring or I could be left with a lazy eye,' she says. 'I'm so glad my parents chose to leave my birthmark as it's part of who I am. Having a birthmark distinguishes me - and I don't feel that it has ever held me back.' Cassandra Naud was born with a large birthmark under her right eye but rather than have it removed she has chosen to embrace her individuality . Cassandra works as a professional dancer and believes that her birthmark makes her more memorable . Cassandra, pictured with her mother and father, says she is thrilled that neither she or her parents went through with the removal of her birthmark . With her envious dancer body and gorgeous smile, Cassandra is used to attracting attention from strangers, but she says people are often very curious when they notice her birthmark. 'People come up to me in the street and ask me about it. I don't shy away from questions - it's natural to be curious. 'It's covered in hair which makes it difficult to disguise, but I honestly don't mind. I know some people might feel sorry for me, but I'm confident in how I look.' Cassandra hasn't always been so confident as during her school years, she was the victim of cruel taunts from bullies. She says: 'They'd taunt me saying: "You'll get beat up in high school" and "The hair on your cheek is gross". 'Their cruel remarks were hard to deal with and I'd often fight back tears. I felt ugly - even if only for that moment - and I was terrified of how I'd be treated once I got to high school.' After years of bullying, Cassandra was plagued by feelings of wanting to fit in and, aged 13, she gave her mum some shocking news.

Emerging out of the landscape with the rumble of its powerful engine, this sinister-looking machine looks as if it comes from a battlefield or the set of a Mad Max film. But instead of helping people face a fictional apocalyptic reality, the tractor is the latest in agricultural machinery and is designed to make life easier for farmers. Called the Challenger MT775, it can cultivate a staggering 150 acres of land in a single day, which is the equivalents of 100 football pitches. Scroll down for video . It may look a little like one of the sinister machines from Mad Max, but this tractor is the latest in agricultural machinery and is designed to make life easier for farmers .

And unlike the vehicles in Mad Max, it's built to keep drivers comfortable, with leather seats and a DVD player fitted in the cab . Farmers Weekly told MailOnline that GPS steering systems are farmers’ favourite piece of modern farming technology. Steering systems got one third of the total votes out of the top 10 favourite farming tools. They are used to steer tractors in more precise patterns than humans are capable of, resulting in significant savings and improved productivity. GPS provides accurate location information by calculating the distance from at least three satellites and can also be used on farms to analyse soil fertility, Alex Thomasson, professor of biological and agricultural engineering at Texas A&M University wrote in an article for The Conversation. Farmers can use a GPS receiver to collect soil samples from pre-selected parts of fields. They then send the samples off to a lab for analysis, which creates a fertility map of their farm. Farmers can use the map to work out the amount of fertiliser needed for each location, giving their crops the best chance of growing and saving them money. Variable-rate technology (VRT) fertiliser applicators dispense just the right amount of fertiliser in each location, varying the qualities as the farmers go along. Before GPS, it was down to the driver to keep the tractor straight to avoid using too much seed, fertiliser or fuel, but today many farmers have some form of GPS steering, which means overlapping has all but disappeared and straight lines are easy. This has resulted in significant savings and improved productivity, which is why the innovation is a firm favourite with tech-savvy farmers. GPS self-steering systems were voted as being British farmners' favourite piece of modern farming technology in a poll by Farmers Weekly. But not all tractors using the technology are as impressive and inwardly luxurious as this latest model. Despite its rugged appearance, the tractor offers a comfortable ride for drivers. The cab is fitted with climate control and the seat is leather and heated. There is even a DVD player to watch while the tractor follows its pre-set path up and down fields. Only 28 of the machines - which cost up to a quarter of a million pounds each ($373,000) - will be made, and Britain is set to be one of the biggest markets. One East Anglian land-owner said: ‘Years ago a 1,000-acre farm would have employed 40 men - but with a machine like this the same acreage can be farmed by just one man.’ In the film, people travel across an apocalyptic wasteland with few resources in a bid to survive.

However, the tractor features luxuries such as leather seats, for example . For farmers, aerial photographs taken by drones offer a quick and easy way to check on the progress of crops and determine where they may need to replant or direct pesticide applications. Researchers at the University of Illinois are using drones on farms to take aerial photos of crops growing in research plots. Dennis Bowman, a crop science teacher at the university, deliberately made mistakes on one test plot by not applying enough nitrogen fertilizer and is now using drones to see if they can reveal potentially weaker crops. ‘As the crop gets up and going, we'll fly over it and see if we can detect those areas sooner than we could visually from the ground,’ he said. ‘We're also looking at doing some scans over our herbicide studies to see if the drone photography can help us identify where crops are stressed by postemergence herbicide applications.’ Mr Bowman spent two summers as a commercial crop scout and said that walking through tasseling corn in high temperatures is unpleasant. ‘The odds of actually getting to the far end of that field on foot to see what's going on are pretty slim. To get a bird's-eye view of your crop, the drones offer a handy way to do it.’ He is using two quadricopters affixed with a Go-Pro camera and a Canon Powershot SX260 camera with a lens for infrared photography to see if they can spot potential crop trouble. ‘Standard pictures and video taken with drones can tell us a lot. But what we're looking to give us even more information is multispectral cameras that can give us imagery in other wavelengths, such as near-infrared, to help us identify areas of crop stress. ‘It probably isn't going to tell us what the problem is, but it will tell us where problems are so that we can target our scouting in those specific areas and determine what might be occurring.’ Infrared images will help the researchers identify plants in the farm that appear to be absorbing or reflecting light differently - an indication that the plants are under some type of stress, such as pests, disease or nutrient deficiencies. The drones may be used to spot an invasive weed called Palmer amaranth, which is spreading across the Midwest and is becoming increasingly resistant to herbicides to the extent that it could drastically reduce farmers' yield potential in affected fields. ‘Before the soybean rows close, or if we get a different spectrum response from some of these weeds as they break through the canopy, we may see some of those weeds show up in the imagery as well to identify where there are hot spots and problems,’ Mr Bowman said.

Kuala Lumpur (CNN)The initial hours after the disappearance of flight MH370 were characterized by confusion and chaos, as air traffic controllers struggled to comprehend the situation and radar operators failed to take notice, according to data contained in an interim report. The report -- released one year after the disappearance of the Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew --- provides a detailed picture of delays and protocol violations before the launch of the search and rescue. An astonishing five hours and 13 minutes passed between the last communication from the flight crew and Kuala Lumpur's first distress signal concerning the missing plane. And it was another five hours before the first search flights took off to try to find it. CNN's aviation correspondent Richard Quest said he believes the delayed response was the most disturbing thing revealed by the interim report -- "the lack of somebody pushing the big red button that says crisis and panic." A year later after the plane's disappearance, not a single trace of Flight MH370 has been found despite extensive search efforts. Investigators believe the wreckage lies somewhere on the bottom of the Indian Ocean, based on the analysis of satellite communications data. The first sign that something was wrong with flight MH370 came after plane failed to check in with Vietnamese Air Traffic Controllers after leaving Malaysian airspace. According to protocol, Ho Chi Minh ATC should have informed their Kuala Lumpur counterparts (KL ATCC) about this within five minutes. Instead they waited 20. When Ho Chi Minh finally did inform Kuala Lumpur, the confusion was evident, as seen in transcripts of the conversation released Sunday. KL ATCC asked three times at what point Ho Chi Minh lost contact, then went on to express concern at the delay, asking "Why you didn't tell me first? Within five minutes you should be (sic) called me." The confusion only got worse after Malaysia Airlines mistakenly told Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Controllers they could see the flight somewhere over Cambodia. It took an hour and a half to clear this up, after Malaysia Airlines admitted to controllers they were only looking at the projected flight track. Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the misinformation was a momentary lapse by a company employee. "Our information was only to be as a guide. We are not an ATC per se. We don't have radar," he told CNN. The watch supervisor then waited another two hours to activate the rescue coordination center. Still another hour went by before before Kuala Lumpur issued the distress signal. No explanation for the delay is given in the interim report, which is composed of factual data and provides no conclusions or recommendations. After the air traffic controllers lost contact with MH370, the plane continued to fly within the range of multiple radar systems belonging to four different countries. Yet little seems to have been done with the data in the immediate hours after the plane disappeared. The interim report says that "for unknown reasons" Indonesia's Medan Radar did not see the flight. And Thailand "did not pay much attention," since MH370's flight path did not fall within its borders. Malaysian military radar tracked the flight for an additional hour, including its turn back across the Malay Peninsula. Despite this information, search and rescue teams did not begin expanding the search area for a full day. Though the interim report makes no mention of it, a failure by the Malaysian military to alert others to the relevant radar data may be blame. A briefing document prepared by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) said military authorities failed to share the final radar fix of MH370 with their civilian counterparts for 20 hours. CNN approached Malaysia's Ministry of Defence for comment but is yet to receive a response . Another working document notes that MH370's turn back might have been discovered much earlier, if the military and non-military agencies had coordinated better. "In essence, a week or more was lost in the initial search because of poor civil/military cooperation," reads the ICAO working document. The interim report released by Malaysian investigators on Sunday provides no information about when the military radar data was shared with other authorities. It's impossible to know if a speedier response from air traffic controllers, or more immediate access to radar data, would have changed the course of events for MH370. But it would have provided authorities with more time, either to track the flight or to search the ocean before the batteries died in the emergency locator beacons. Looking back at the series of miscommunication between air traffic controllers and the radar lapses also provides valuable lessons that could help future search and rescue operations.

<s>[INST] Kuala Lumpur (CNN)The initial hours after the disappearance of flight MH370 were characterized by confusion and chaos, as air traffic controllers struggled to comprehend the situation and radar operators failed to take notice, according to data contained in an interim report. The report -- released one year after the disappearance of the Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew --- provides a detailed picture of delays and protocol violations before the launch of the search and rescue. An astonishing five hours and 13 minutes passed between the last communication from the flight crew and Kuala Lumpur's first distress signal concerning the missing plane. And it was another five hours before the first search flights took off to try to find it. CNN's aviation correspondent Richard Quest said he believes the delayed response was the most disturbing thing revealed by the interim report -- "the lack of somebody pushing the big red button that says crisis and panic." A year later after the plane's disappearance, not a single trace of Flight MH370 has been found despite extensive search efforts. Investigators believe the wreckage lies somewhere on the bottom of the Indian Ocean, based on the analysis of satellite communications data. The first sign that something was wrong with flight MH370 came after plane failed to check in with Vietnamese Air Traffic Controllers after leaving Malaysian airspace. According to protocol, Ho Chi Minh ATC should have informed their Kuala Lumpur counterparts (KL ATCC) about this within five minutes. Instead they waited 20. When Ho Chi Minh finally did inform Kuala Lumpur, the confusion was evident, as seen in transcripts of the conversation released Sunday. KL ATCC asked three times at what point Ho Chi Minh lost contact, then went on to express concern at the delay, asking "Why you didn't tell me first? Within five minutes you should be (sic) called me." The confusion only got worse after Malaysia Airlines mistakenly told Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Controllers they could see the flight somewhere over Cambodia. It took an hour and a half to clear this up, after Malaysia Airlines admitted to controllers they were only looking at the projected flight track. Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the misinformation was a momentary lapse by a company employee. "Our information was only to be as a guide. We are not an ATC per se. We don't have radar," he told CNN. The watch supervisor then waited another two hours to activate the rescue coordination center. Still another hour went by before before Kuala Lumpur issued the distress signal. No explanation for the delay is given in the interim report, which is composed of factual data and provides no conclusions or recommendations. After the air traffic controllers lost contact with MH370, the plane continued to fly within the range of multiple radar systems belonging to four different countries. Yet little seems to have been done with the data in the immediate hours after the plane disappeared. The interim report says that "for unknown reasons" Indonesia's Medan Radar did not see the flight. And Thailand "did not pay much attention," since MH370's flight path did not fall within its borders. Malaysian military radar tracked the flight for an additional hour, including its turn back across the Malay Peninsula. Despite this information, search and rescue teams did not begin expanding the search area for a full day. Though the interim report makes no mention of it, a failure by the Malaysian military to alert others to the relevant radar data may be blame. A briefing document prepared by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) said military authorities failed to share the final radar fix of MH370 with their civilian counterparts for 20 hours. CNN approached Malaysia's Ministry of Defence for comment but is yet to receive a response . Another working document notes that MH370's turn back might have been discovered much earlier, if the military and non-military agencies had coordinated better. "In essence, a week or more was lost in the initial search because of poor civil/military cooperation," reads the ICAO working document. The interim report released by Malaysian investigators on Sunday provides no information about when the military radar data was shared with other authorities. It's impossible to know if a speedier response from air traffic controllers, or more immediate access to radar data, would have changed the course of events for MH370. But it would have provided authorities with more time, either to track the flight or to search the ocean before the batteries died in the emergency locator beacons.

Thanks to missions like Nasa's Curiosity rover, we know Mars once had water - but until now we didn't know how much. Scientists have provided the best estimates yet, claiming it once had more water than the Arctic Ocean - and the planet kept these oceans for more than 1.5 billion years. The findings suggest there was ample time and water for life on Mars to thrive, but over the last 3.7 billion years the red planet has lost 87 per cent of its water - leaving it barren and dry. Nasa scientists in Maryland have calculated how much water was once on Mars. They found that 3.7 billion years ago it had more than the Arctic Ocean. Most of this would have been in the northern hemisphere of the planet (illustrated). Since then, 87% of the water has been lost to space, with the rest stored in ice at the poles . The study by scientists at Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is the first to determine just how much water Mars had in its past. During its wet Noachian period - 4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago - it is estimated that it had enough water to cover the entire surface in a liquid layer 450 feet (137 metres) deep. However, it’s likely that most of the water formed an ocean that occupied the northern hemisphere of Mars, which would have been as deep as one mile (1.6km) in places - comparable to the Mediterranean Sea on Earth. Published in the journal Science, the research estimates that, in total, what is now the planet’s arid northern plains would have contained at least 12.4 million cubic miles (20 million cubic kilometres) of water. Microsoft’s ‘HoloLens' headset, which allows wearers to see 3D images superimposed over their vision, may look like it belongs in a sci-fi film. And now Nasa has revealed the prototype technology will be used to enable its scientists to work virtually on Mars. The headset will work with OnSight software to give scientists a means to plan experiments on the red planet, with the help of the Curiosity rover. The software was developed jointly by the two companies, including a team at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. ‘Our study provides a solid estimate of how much water Mars once had, by determining how much water was lost to space,’ said Dr Geronimo Villanueva, first author of the paper and a scientist at Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center. ‘With this work, we can better understand the history of water on Mars.’ It is thought that while 87 per cent of the water has since been lost to space, owing largely to the planet losing its atmosphere, the remaining 13 per cent resides in the ice caps. But in the past, the ocean would have covered about 20 per cent of the planet’s surface area. The most interesting conclusion, though, is that Mars stayed wet for longer than previously thought, which means it was habitable for longer. ‘We now know that Mars was wet for a much longer time than we thought before,’ said Dr Michael Mumma, co-author of the study and Senior Scientist at Nasa Goddard. ‘Curiosity shows it was wet for 1.5 billion years, already much longer than the period of time needed for life to develop on Earth. ‘And now we see that Mars must have been wet for a period even longer.’ During its wet Noachian period, 4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago, it is estimated that Mars had enough water to cover the entire surface in a liquid layer 450 feet (137 metres) deep. However, it’s likely that most of the water formed an ocean that occupied the northern hemisphere of Mars (illustrated) as deep as one mile in places .

But in the past, the ocean would have covered about 20 per cent of the planet’s surface area . The research was carried out using two telescopes at the Keck Observatory on Hawaii and the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. To make the discovery, the scientists produced maps showing the distribution of normal water in the Martian atmosphere and 'heavy' water containing deuterium, a more massive form of hydrogen. By analysing the ratio of 'heavy' to regular water they showed that Mars must have lost a volume of water 6.5 times larger than the amount trapped in the present day polar ice caps. An ancient ocean containing the lost water would have covered 19 per cent of the planet’s surface. It would have had a greater volume than the Arctic Ocean, which contains 18,750,000 cubic kilometres (11.7 million cubic miles) of water. By comparison, the Atlantic Ocean covers 17 per cent of the surface of the Earth and contains more than 310 million cubic kilometres (192.6 million cubic miles). It is possible that Mars once had even more water, some of which may have been deposited below the surface. Because the new maps reveal microclimates and changes in the atmospheric water content over time, they may also prove to be useful in the search for underground water.

Dr Astro Teller, director of Google's secret X lab, has described Google Glass as the 'poster child' for privacy issues - but insisted we'll 'be seeing a lot more' of the technology very soon. Speaking at South By Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday, the 44-year-old defended the headset by saying it just used cameras that were already in existence. He also slammed the way people use Google[x] to highlight privacy concerns. Scroll down for video . Dr Astro Teller (pictured) , director of Google's secret X lab, has described Google Glass as the 'poster child' for privacy issues - but insisted we'll 'be seeing a lot more' of the technology very soon. The claims were made at South By Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday . Speaking to DailyMail.com after the talk, Dr Teller also gave a rare glimpse into the workings of Google[x], and made a rallying call for diversity in every industry. 'Google Glass did not move the needle,' he explained. 'It was literally a rounding error on the number of cameras in your life.' The 'smart glasses', which act as a computer screen in front of your eyes, sparked furious debate when they were rolled out to the general public - which Dr Teller concedes was a mistake. In a bid to get feedback on the first prototype, 'we did things which encouraged people to think of this as a finished product'. Project Wing's aircraft have a wingspan of approximately 1.5m (4.9ft) and have four electrically-driven propellers. The total weight, including the package to be delivered, is approximately 10kg (22lb). The aircraft itself accounts for the bulk of that at 8.5kg (18.7lb). The hybrid 'tail sitter' design has wings for fast forward flight, and rotors for hovering for delivery and vertical take-off and landing. Dual mode operation gives the self-flying vehicle some of the benefits of both planes and helicopters. It can take off or land without a runway, and can hold its position hovering in one spot to gently drop packages. Packages are stored in the drone's 'belly' then dropped on a string before being gently lowered to the ground. At the end of the tether, there's a little bundle of electronics the team call the 'egg,' which detects that the package has hit the ground, detaches from the delivery, and is pulled back up into the body of the vehicle.

<s>[INST] Dr Astro Teller, director of Google's secret X lab, has described Google Glass as the 'poster child' for privacy issues - but insisted we'll 'be seeing a lot more' of the technology very soon. Speaking at South By Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday, the 44-year-old defended the headset by saying it just used cameras that were already in existence. He also slammed the way people use Google[x] to highlight privacy concerns. Scroll down for video . Dr Astro Teller (pictured) , director of Google's secret X lab, has described Google Glass as the 'poster child' for privacy issues - but insisted we'll 'be seeing a lot more' of the technology very soon. The claims were made at South By Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday . Speaking to DailyMail.com after the talk, Dr Teller also gave a rare glimpse into the workings of Google[x], and made a rallying call for diversity in every industry. 'Google Glass did not move the needle,' he explained. 'It was literally a rounding error on the number of cameras in your life.' The 'smart glasses', which act as a computer screen in front of your eyes, sparked furious debate when they were rolled out to the general public - which Dr Teller concedes was a mistake. In a bid to get feedback on the first prototype, 'we did things which encouraged people to think of this as a finished product'. Project Wing's aircraft have a wingspan of approximately 1.5m (4.9ft) and have four electrically-driven propellers. The total weight, including the package to be delivered, is approximately 10kg (22lb). The aircraft itself accounts for the bulk of that at 8.5kg (18.7lb). The hybrid 'tail sitter' design has wings for fast forward flight, and rotors for hovering for delivery and vertical take-off and landing. Dual mode operation gives the self-flying vehicle some of the benefits of both planes and helicopters. It can take off or land without a runway, and can hold its position hovering in one spot to gently drop packages. Packages are stored in the drone's 'belly' then dropped on a string before being gently lowered to the ground. At the end of the tether, there's a little bundle of electronics the team call the 'egg,' which detects that the package has hit the ground, detaches from the delivery, and is pulled back up into the body of the vehicle. And though it has disappeared from the market for further testing, he assured DailyMail.com 'you'll be seeing a lot more of Google Glass very soon.'

Stuart McCall has confirmed Rangers are paying money for all five Newcastle United loanees - despite two of them being highly unlikely to ever appear for the Ibrox club. McCall has inherited a bizarre situation created by the extraordinary mass deal chief executive Derek Llambias brokered on transfer deadline day early last month. Llambias – a former managing director at St James’ Park – has since been ousted as a PLC director and suspended from the football board at Ibrox following the takeover by Dave King and his allies. Sturat McCall has revealed that Rangers are paying some of the wages for the five players signed on loan from Newcastle in the January window even though only one of them is available at the moment . Of the five players loaned from Newcastle, only Haris Vuckic will again be available for Sunday's crunch Championship encounter with Hibernian after recovering from a calf knock. The only further first-team involvement has come from centre-back Remie Streete, who managed 44 minutes against Raith Rovers last month before succumbing to a hamstring injury. Youngster Kevin Mbabu, who has never played a senior game, is involved with Rangers’ Under-20 squad, but McCall revealed midfielder Gael Bigirimana has been ruled out for the season by an unspecified ‘medical condition’. The new Ibrox boss is also highly sceptical about ever having Northern Ireland international Shane Ferguson available, as he recovers from a knee injury on Tyneside. Asked if the quintet were on Rangers wage bill, McCall replied: ‘Yes. The club is paying for them.’ It’s understood the Ibrox outfit only make a contribution to their Newcastle wages, rather than paying the entire salary they earn at Mike Ashley’s club. McCall prepares the Rangers players for Sunday's clash with Hibernian . Even so, the fact so little value has been earned will outrage Rangers fans. ‘Young Biggi (Bigirimana) has a medical condition that our consultant is dealing with,’ said McCall. ‘But he won’t play for us this season. ‘Kevin Mbabu is training and he has played two under-20 games, but his match fitness is not up to what we would like at the moment. But he’s working hard, the kid. ‘Shane Ferguson has had a long-standing serious knee injury, I think he’s been out for four or five months. He had a minor setback a couple of weeks ago, so he won’t be up with us for another couple of weeks. ‘By then he will have been out for five or six months so he’ll likely need another six weeks to get him anywhere near being available. ‘So even though he might come up and train with us, depending on what level we can get him to, he looks a serious doubt to be involved. McCall faces the media on Friday ahead of the crucial clash with second place Hibs . ‘Remie Streete came and played the first game and pulled his hamstring, was out for a couple of weeks then came back and pulled his thigh. And he’s had an ear infection on top of that. ‘He’s two or three weeks again, working with the medical side of it. But again I don’t think Remie has played lots of football over the past two years. So we didn’t have guys coming in who were hitting the ground running, being ready to play.’ McCall said enquiries about Bigirimana’s condition would have to be directed to the medical staff. However, when pressed if it was something the 21-year-old had contracted since moving to Glasgow, he replied: ‘No. It’s a long-standing thing.’ The current state of play begs the question as to whether Rangers can simply send those not available back to Newcastle. ‘I think that’s not for me, that’s for the hierarchy to sort out,’ said McCall. ‘Certainly two of them - Biggi and Shane Ferguson - would be very doubtful, unless Shane recovers very quickly from his long-term knee operation. ‘For Kevin and Remie, it’s just about getting some football in them. If they are ready to go then we will consider them.’

Rangers signed five Newcastle players on loan for the rest of the season . Haris Vukic is the only one who is available for Saturday's Hibernian clash . Gael Bigirimana is ruled out for rest of season with 'medical condition' Shane Ferguson not likely to play as he recovers from serious knee injury . Remie Streete suffered hamstring injury after playing 44 minutes vs Raith .

So we didn’t have guys coming in who were hitting the ground running, being ready to play.’ McCall said enquiries about Bigirimana’s condition would have to be directed to the medical staff. However, when pressed if it was something the 21-year-old had contracted since moving to Glasgow, he replied: ‘No. It’s a long-standing thing.’ The current state of play begs the question as to whether Rangers can simply send those not available back to Newcastle. ‘I think that’s not for me, that’s for the hierarchy to sort out,’ said McCall. ‘Certainly two of them - Biggi and Shane Ferguson - would be very doubtful, unless Shane recovers very quickly from his long-term knee operation. ‘For Kevin and Remie, it’s just about getting some football in them. If they are ready to go then we will consider them.’ [/INST] Rangers signed five Newcastle players on loan for the rest of the season .

One of the British twin sisters who have travelled to Syria to become jihadi brides was caught looking at an extremist-linked image on her school computer six months before she fled the country, it has emerged. Salma Halane, 17, downloaded a photograph of ISIS fighters in December 2013, using a computer at Connell Sixth Form College in Manchester. When teachers found out, she told them she was trying to find her brother who had gone to Syria. Terror: Salma Halane, left, looked up an image of ISIS fighters online six months before she travelled to Syria with her twin sister Zahra, right . Six months later, Salma and her twin sister Zahra fled to the war-torn country, where they are believed to have married jihadist fighters from the bloodthirsty terror group. The ISIS-related photograph which Salma viewed online was spotted by teachers when they were reviewing pupils' internet usage. The school says that she was twice spoken to by staff about the picture, and advised to talk to her family about her worries over her brother, while teachers subsequently discussed the issue with her parents. However, staff did not tell the police of any concerns about the girl.

School: Connell Sixth Form College discovered the image on one of its own computers . Jihad: This picture of female ISIS fighters was shared by Salma on her Twitter feed after she went to Syria . A spokesman for Bright Futures Educational Trust, which runs the college, said there was no reason not to believe Salma's explanation for why she was viewing the image. She added: 'As part of the college's daily routine we review all internet browsing records. We promptly challenge students on anything that stands out during that review. 'In December 2013 we discovered that Salma Halane had viewed an image on a mainstream news website in the hope of spotting her missing brother. Our priority was her emotional wellbeing, and we recommended she speak to her mother about her concern for her brother and the college followed this up. 'Once it became clear that the girls had travelled to Syria, we handed over all computer records to the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU). These were reviewed and nothing was discovered that caused them concern.' Training: Another image sent out by Salma appears to show women in burqas being taught how to shoot . An education source told the Manchester Evening News that the school should have done more to intervene after they saw that Salma had been looking at terror-related content online. 'I have no doubt whatsoever that if someone at the college had followed this up with Salma, she would still be in this country,' the source said. 'I think there should have been a real concern that she was becoming radicalised.' Salma and Zahra were among the first pupils at Connell Sixth Form College, which opened as a State-funded free school in September 2013. The twin girls, from the Manchester suburb of Chorlton, had 28 GCSEs between them and were hoping to become doctors before they ran away to join ISIS. Their parents tried to travel to Syria to bring the girls back home, but were unable to persuade them to leave the war zone. A number of British schoolgirls are believed to have left the country to become jihadi brides - last month, three teenagers from East London abandoned their families and travelled to Syria.

Detective Chief Inspector Elizabeth Belton said an 18-year-old who was raped near a Leeds bus stop was 'left for dead' and found lying in a pool of blood . A teenage girl was 'left for dead' after being raped at a bus stop, police confirmed as they said they are hunting for a man who would likely have been left with blood on his hands or clothing after the violent attack. The rape of an 18-year-old girl at a bus stop in Leeds in West Yorkshire is now being treated as attempted murder after the youngster suffered severe injuries and was left needing surgery. Detective Chief Inspector Elizabeth Belton, of West Yorkshire Police, said: 'We are now treating this as an attempted murder because she has been left there for dead.' The officer has encouraged people to come forward with information about the attack and said this is 'no time for family loyalty.' The Asian teenager was grabbed from behind by a man, in his 20s and also believed to be Asian, in the Beeston Hill area of Leeds. He dragged her into a garden and raped her just before 11pm on Friday night. She was assaulted over a considerable period of time which left her with head injuries, a possible broken hip, and lying in blood. DCI Belford added:  'It has been a very nasty attack that has been sustained over some time. 'The nature of her injuries are that she has suffered facial and head injuries and also a suspected broken hip.' The suspect is described as an Asian man in his early 20s with a slim build and dark receding hair. Police said they believe he had been in the area for a while before the attack took place. Scroll down for video . Police found the girl lying on the ground suffering head injuries but it later emerged she was subjected to a serious sexual assault. Officers said the road was very busy at the time of the attack and are appealing for any witnesses to come forward. DCI Belford said: 'I would encourage people to think – was there something out of place – or did someone come home with blood on their shirt? A team of specialist forensic officers spent Saturday recovering evidence from where the girl was found . Police said they are looking for an Asian man in his early 20s of slim build with receding dark coloured hair . 'This is no time for family loyalty – this was an horrific incident and the victim is lucky to be alive.' Officers said they do not believe the attack was racially motivated and wanted to put an end to any speculation. They confirmed the victim was Asian. 'I think it is possible that someone will know [the attacker] as there was a considerable amount of blood that was at the scene,' said DCI Belford. 'It's possible that the person responsible will have had blood on their hands and possibly blood on their clothing.' The teenager was raped as she waited at a bus stop, pictured, near Leeds City centre late on Friday night . Officers were looking for any hair or fibres that could help them identify the suspect who is in his 20s . The 18-year-old was attacked near Malvern Road and Beeston Road in Leeds at about 22:40pm on Friday. Police are appealing for people to come forward - including a woman who is believed to have been standing at the bus stop shortly before the attack who then got on a number 1 or 47 bus. They also want to speak to a man who was jogging in the area. DCI Belton said the crime had 'shocked the community.' Anyone with any information are asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Sophie Brannan, 11, was killed when she was hit by Christopher Hannah in November last year . A heroin addict is facing a long jail sentence after he admitted killing an 11-year-old girl in a hit and run crash while on bail. Christopher Hannah was high on drugs when he ploughed into Sophie Brannan, her friend and her friend’s uncle as they walked home from local shops on November 14 last year. Hannah, 33, lost control of his hired Vauxhall Astra, mounted the pavement and hit the three victims so hard from behind they were thrown over the car. Sophie suffered catastrophic head injuries and died the following day in hospital. Her ten-year-old friend had a badly broken leg and the 36-year-old uncle suffered a serious shoulder injury. Hannah, the son of a bankrupt businessman, fled the scene in Sandbank Street in Glasgow’s Maryhill – but later called a friend to say he had been ‘driving like a madman’ and had hit someone. At the High Court in Glasgow yesterday, the father of three pleaded guilty to culpable homicide and was remanded in custody for sentence next month. The court heard Hannah’s car, which he had hired a month earlier, mounted the pavement and hit the gable end of a nearby building before careering into Sophie and her companions. Prosecutor Allan Nicol said: ‘This caused them to be thrown onto the bonnet, windscreen and roof of the vehicle before falling onto the ground.

<s>[INST] Sophie Brannan, 11, was killed when she was hit by Christopher Hannah in November last year . A heroin addict is facing a long jail sentence after he admitted killing an 11-year-old girl in a hit and run crash while on bail. Christopher Hannah was high on drugs when he ploughed into Sophie Brannan, her friend and her friend’s uncle as they walked home from local shops on November 14 last year. Hannah, 33, lost control of his hired Vauxhall Astra, mounted the pavement and hit the three victims so hard from behind they were thrown over the car. Sophie suffered catastrophic head injuries and died the following day in hospital. Her ten-year-old friend had a badly broken leg and the 36-year-old uncle suffered a serious shoulder injury. Hannah, the son of a bankrupt businessman, fled the scene in Sandbank Street in Glasgow’s Maryhill – but later called a friend to say he had been ‘driving like a madman’ and had hit someone. At the High Court in Glasgow yesterday, the father of three pleaded guilty to culpable homicide and was remanded in custody for sentence next month. The court heard Hannah’s car, which he had hired a month earlier, mounted the pavement and hit the gable end of a nearby building before careering into Sophie and her companions. Prosecutor Allan Nicol said: ‘This caused them to be thrown onto the bonnet, windscreen and roof of the vehicle before falling onto the ground. Another motorist witnessed the carnage and immediately turned back to help poor Sophie.’ Witnesses saw Hannah speed into Maryhill Road, with his badly dented car being ‘driven erratically’ before he crashed into a taxi.

The devastated parents of a New Zealand man, jailed for making a joke about Buddha, have revealed the horrific conditions their son is suffering through in a Myanmar prison. Wellington-based Brian and Angela Blackwood have launch an online petition to campaign for Philip Backwood's freedom, insisting that their son and his colleagues have been unjustly convicted. They have revealed their pain they feel as they can not help their son, who is being subjected to the brutal conditions inside Yangon's notorious Insein Prison. He has been sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment. He has been held in the jail since his arrest in December. 'He sleeps on a wooden pallet, no bedding is allowed, no mattress, no pillow,' Brian told ABC. He is only allowed to see his fiancé Noemi Alamo and their seven-month-old daughter for an hour every fortnight. Scroll down for video . Philip Blackwood (C) is escorted by police to a court hearing in Yangon. Blackwood and his two Myanmar colleagues were sentenced to two and a half years in jail for using a Buddha image to promote a cheap drinks . Two weeks ago the bar manager and his two Myanmar colleagues were jailed for two and a half years with hard labour by a Yangon court for using a Buddha image to promote a cheap drinks night. However, Blackwood's hard labour penalty has been lifted as he is a foreigner. The ad posted on Facebook in December caused a stir of outrage in the former junta-ruled country, where surging Buddhist nationalism and religious violence has sparked international concern. Philip Blackwood, who worked at the VGastro bar in Yangon, was found guilty of insulting religion, after the New Zealander posted a mocked-up photo of the Buddha wearing DJ headphones on Facebook — in reference to a well-known international club brand. The three convicted men have the support of a number of human rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The group have condemned the court's ruling and called for the unconditional release of Mr. Blackwood and his colleagues. 'It is ludicrous that these three men have been jailed simply for posting an image online to promote a bar,' a spokesperson for Amnesty International in South East Asia and the Pacific said. “They should be immediately and unconditionally released.” According to International commission of Jurists in the Asia and Pacific, the conviction violates Mynamar's own legal standards. 'The conviction violates international standards for imprisoning people for speech (and) seems to violate Myanmar’s own legal standards which require intent.' Blackwood's loved ones are fighting to help alleviate some of Blackwood's struggles during his sentence. 'He has a hole in the ground for a toilet and he has a bucket of water that he washes in, keeps himself tidy with. 'He is only given broth and rice to eat. 'I don't believe that we understand half of what he is suffering.' Mr Blackwood leaves court after being sentenced to two and half years in prison. He was found guilty of insulting Buddhism . Blackwood, the manager of VGastro Bar in Yangon, was arrested after posting a promotional image of a psychedelic Buddha wearing headphones to the bar's Facebook page . Blackwood's parents worry for their son's physical and mental health, as he tries to withstand the heat and poor hygiene. They are particularly concerned as their son suffers from a chest condition and from asthma. The 32-year-old was arrested by Myanmar police in December, along with owner Tun Thurein, 40, and manager Htut Ko Ko Lwin, 26, after an official from Myanmar's Religious Department complained about the advertising. The bar has since been shuttered-up. The harsh conviction comes despite Mr and Mrs Blackwood's insistence that 'The judge's ruling that the three had 'intentionally plotted to insult religious belief' was not founded on any concrete evidence at all. 'Mr. Blackwood did not have legal representation when he was charged, nor did he have any interpreter to explain what was going on,' the petition reads. 'Three months later, they were found guilty, despite prosecution not having established intent on the side of the three accused.' A Buddhist monk tries to take a photo of New Zealander Philip Blackwood as he gets into a police vehicle outside the court . VGastro Bar employee Htut Ko Ko Lwin is escorted to a police vehicle after appearing in court in Yangon on Thursday. The trio could face two years in jail for breaching Myanmar's Religion Act . In emotional scenes after the verdict, family members of the two Myanmar defendants expressed shock and fury at the sentencing, with the mother of one exchanging barbs with a handful of nationalist monks waiting outside. The case has been watched closely by international observers amid fears that the Buddhist-majority country, which has seen a surge in foreign investment since it began emerging from the grip of the military in 2011, is seeing its much-lauded reforms stalling. The trio were also held responsible for protests that erupted outside the bar over the image. Judge Ye Lwin said that while Blackwood, 32, had posted an apology, he had 'intentionally plotted to insult religious belief' when he uploaded the photo. He added that although the New Zealander had admitted to posting the picture without intending to offend, it was also 'unreasonable only to blame the foreigner' when explaining the guilty verdicts for the Myanmar defendants. Htut Ko Ko Lwin's mother screamed at a group of monks taking photos with smartphones outside the court after the sentencing. The wife of bar owner Tun Thurein said she would consult her lawyer about appealing. 'They just decided everybody is guilty so I'm very shocked. This is very unfair,' Myat Nandar said. Blackwood made no comment as he was bundled into the back of a police truck through a scrum of media cameras. Myanmar has been rocked by several deadly outbreaks of religious violence in recent years, mainly targeting the Muslim minority. The bloodshed has coincided with the rising influence of hardline monks, who have advocated controversial new laws.

Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director of Human Rights Watch, said Tuesday's sentences showed 'freedom of expression is under greater threat than ever' in Myanmar, which is gearing up for crucial elections later this year. 'The authorities should accept the heartfelt public apology of the three men, vacate the conviction, and order them to be released immediately and unconditionally,' he said in a statement. Blackwood's parents told Fairfax Media from their New Zealand home that they were shocked by the decision and their son would consider an appeal.

Girls aged five to nine are developing type-2 diabetes, figures show (file image) Girls aged five to nine are developing type-2 diabetes, figures show. There have been seven cases in England and Wales of five to nine-year-old girls with the condition, according to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health's National Paediatric and Diabetes Audit. Doctors said they have treated cases of boys aged seven, though none were recorded in the audit. There were a further 146 cases in girls aged ten to 14 and 64 cases in boys of the same age group, bringing risk of damage to eyes and kidneys, as well as heart attacks. The illness most commonly occurs in the over 40s and prior to the year 2000, no case had ever been recorded in the under 18s. But academics have recorded a sudden increase over the past two decades which is almost certainly down to obesity, our sugary diets and lack of exercise. They have also noted that the illness advances much more rapidly compared to adults and they quickly develop complications. By the time they have reached their early teens, a number have suffered damage to their eyes and kidneys and are expected to have heart attacks in their 30s. The document also warns that there are huge variations in the care offered to children and young people with diabetes – most of whom have type 1. Although the overall standards of treatment have improved, those living in the more deprived areas are less likely to have vital check ups . Just under 27,000 children, teenagers and young adults have diabetes of whom more than 97 per cent have type 1, which is believed to be genetic. Dr Justin Warner, clinical lead for the audit, said: 'On the one hand the picture is positive; the quality of care for children and young people with diabetes is improving and we're getting better at ensuring care processes are met. 'Yet the challenge we face is also growing, with more children being diagnosed with diabetes and some displaying early signs of potentially serious long term health problems. 'This is a lifelong condition where tight overall diabetes control is important to reduce the risk of complications later in life. 'This requires a close partnership between healthcare professionals delivering care and children and families with diabetes.' Last year academics revealed that they were treating children as young as seven with type 2 diabetes. Professor Tim Barrett, a consultant in paediatric diabetes at Birmingham Children's Hospital said a boy had been referred to him aged seven years 11 months, the youngest he'd seen.

Man who would be President: Texas Senator Ted Cruz will reportedly announce his bid on Monday . Ted Cruz will reportedly announce his intention to run for President of the United States this Monday, which would make him the first officially declared hopeful in the 2016 election. The Texas Republican senator, who is still in his first term of Congress, is due to commit himself to a presidential campaign at a speech in Virginia next week, according to senior advisers. Aides in the Cruz camp spoke about his intentions to the Houston Chronicle, but insisted on remaining anonymous. Cruz will hope to triumph against other GOP front-runners such as Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and Rand Paul to win his party's nomination. The Chronicle reported that Cruz will announce at a convocation ceremony held at Liberty University, Virginia, the world's largest Christian university. Sketching out his campaign strategy, Cruz aides said he will hope to raise more than $40million to help him compete in the primary campaign. Cruz is said to be skipping the step of forming an 'exploratory committee', which Jeb Bush has already taken, and will directly announce the bid. He will hope that his conservative credentials will play well with the Tea Party wing of the GOP, and also rely on scooping up second and third-preference votes from less convinced voters. Though he lacks the clout of other candidates within Washington and the political establishment, strategists admit, they hope that with the voters of key states like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, he will be able to carry the day nonetheless. However, Cruz remains an outlier in a busy Republican field. A poll earlier this month, from Quinnipiac University, gave him 6 per cent of the GOP vote. Men to beat: Jeb Bush, left, and Scott Walker, right, both command more GOP support than Cruz. Bush has formed an 'exploratory committee' for his bid, while Walker has yet to announce . In comparison, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker took 18 per cent, former Florida governor Jeb Bush won 16, with three other hopefuls still polling better than Cruz. However wins the Republican nomination will still have to win out against the Democratic contender, most likely Hillary Clinton, to take the White House next year. Nobody else has outright declared an intention to run yet. However, MSNBC reported last week that Rand Paul is planning to announce on April 7. The Kentucky senator will reportedly make the direct announcement is Louisville, which would give Cruz a two-week head start.

A fortnight ago, eight-year-old Janshir Issa gingerly stepped off a plane at Heathrow, his lips blue. It wasn’t the British weather that had turned them such a deathly colour: Syria – Janshir’s home country – can be just as cold in early spring. Rather, it was a combination of rare heart problems that meant blood was not getting around his body properly. In fact, it was receiving little over half the oxygen it should. Ever since birth, congenital heart defects meant Janshir was being slowly starved of air, much like a climber marooned at high altitude. Scroll down for video . On the mend: Jansir with his father Omar in London after being brought to Britain for a life-saving operation . And if that wasn’t enough, almost all he has ever known is war. Since Janshir was four, he and his family have had to live with the devastating conflict that has ripped Syria apart, claiming more than 200,000 lives in the process. Dodging bombs and bullets, his family first fled their Aleppo home just weeks before it was blown to bits by President Assad’s jets. Then they took refuge in a village near the Turkish border, only for it to become the focus of fierce fighting. Like thousands of other children, Janshir has spent time in a tented refugee camp too. Unsurprisingly, his health suffered – and his family frequently feared he would die. But today, thanks to a British charity which brought him here for a life-saving operation, Janshir looks like a different boy. In fact, just days after undergoing surgery at The Harley Street Clinic in London, he appears remarkably healthy. Like any impatient eight-year-old, he grabs a mobile phone from his father Omar – with whom he shares an unmistakable likeness – to show him how it really works. His eyes are bright – and his lips are pink. ‘Janshir is a walking miracle,’ says Emma Scanlan, chief executive of Chain of Hope, which brings children to Britain for heart surgery and conducts operating missions abroad. Devastation: A man walks with children in Jansir's home town of Aleppo after it was hit by bombs last year . ‘Most children in the UK with his condition, called Tetralogy of Fallot, would be treated on the NHS soon after birth. But he has been walking around with this for eight years, been bombed, and had to flee.’ Curling up on his father’s lap, shy Janshir simply says he is ‘happy’ to be recovering after his operation. It involved patching up a huge hole in his heart, widening a crucial vessel taking blood out of the heart, and correcting a narrow valve. The operation, performed without charge by consultant cardiothoracic surgeon Martin Kostolny, means his heart now pumps more efficiently. And thanks to the hole being closed, de-oxygenated ‘blue’ blood will no longer be mixed with fresh blood. Without it, Mr Kostolny says, Janshir’s life would have been ‘severely limited’. He would have got progressively weaker and would probably have died in early adulthood. Instead, he should now have ‘a fairly normal future’ and could even be up and playing football within weeks. ‘Children, in general, recover amazingly quickly after heart surgery,’ says Mr Kostolny. Mr Issa, a physics teacher, holds his son tight. ‘It was a race against time to get him here,’ he says. Aged three, Janshir was flown to France to be fitted with a stent to widen a heart opening, but the family knew that was a temporary fix. As daily life became more difficult, Janshir’s health went slowly downhill. By summer 2012, things had got so bad that Mr Issa decided to move the family out of Aleppo. ‘We fled with nothing except our clothes,’ says Mr Issa. The family, who are Kurds, took shelter in a village where they have roots. ‘Leaving Aleppo was awful, but a month after we left, the apartment block where we lived was bombed. We lost everything and heard friends of ours had been killed.’ But they could not escape the war. By early 2013 fighting had spread to their village near Azaz, close to the Turkish border, so they moved again – this time to a tented camp. A month later, with Janshir’s fragile health getting worse, the family returned to the village, only for Mr Issa to face interrogation by Kurdish fighters from a group called the YPK. Despite being a Kurd himself, they held him captive, asked him why he had left, and whose side he was really on. Homeless: The apartment block Jansir and his family were forced to flee before it was blown to bits by President Assad’s jets . ‘I was in prison for 25 days,’ he recalls. ‘I thought that they were going to kill me. They tortured me.’ All this time he could do nothing to help Janshir, who he desperately needed to take to Turkey to see a heart specialist. After being set free, he took the boy and made for the border, helped by guides. Father and son then spent months in Turkey, during which they visited a cardiologist who confirmed the extent of Janshir’s problems. But nobody could help and they were forced to return to Syria. Finally, last November Mr Issa’s brother Wahid, who lives in London, discovered Chain of Hope. Since being set up 20 years ago by pioneering heart surgeon Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub, the charity has treated more than 2,000 children. Janshir and his family were in Syria when news filtered through that the operation would take place – prompting Mr Issa and his wife Awash, 31, to break down in tears. From there Janshir and his father travelled to Istanbul and caught a flight to London, accompanied by a Chain of Hope doctor as there were concerns over how Janshir would cope on the flight. The operation last Sunday went well and Janshir should soon be discharged. Mr Issa is now considering applying for asylum in the UK. At the moment, Janshir and his father are here on three-month medical visas. The charity stresses it does not get involved in immigration issues. While Janshir’s heart has been fixed, what his life now holds – like countless other Syrian children – remains uncertain. To donate to the charity, visit chainofhope.org – text ‘LINK04 £5’ to 70070.

<s>[INST] A fortnight ago, eight-year-old Janshir Issa gingerly stepped off a plane at Heathrow, his lips blue. It wasn’t the British weather that had turned them such a deathly colour: Syria – Janshir’s home country – can be just as cold in early spring. Rather, it was a combination of rare heart problems that meant blood was not getting around his body properly. In fact, it was receiving little over half the oxygen it should. Ever since birth, congenital heart defects meant Janshir was being slowly starved of air, much like a climber marooned at high altitude. Scroll down for video . On the mend: Jansir with his father Omar in London after being brought to Britain for a life-saving operation . And if that wasn’t enough, almost all he has ever known is war. Since Janshir was four, he and his family have had to live with the devastating conflict that has ripped Syria apart, claiming more than 200,000 lives in the process. Dodging bombs and bullets, his family first fled their Aleppo home just weeks before it was blown to bits by President Assad’s jets. Then they took refuge in a village near the Turkish border, only for it to become the focus of fierce fighting. Like thousands of other children, Janshir has spent time in a tented refugee camp too. Unsurprisingly, his health suffered – and his family frequently feared he would die. But today, thanks to a British charity which brought him here for a life-saving operation, Janshir looks like a different boy. In fact, just days after undergoing surgery at The Harley Street Clinic in London, he appears remarkably healthy. Like any impatient eight-year-old, he grabs a mobile phone from his father Omar – with whom he shares an unmistakable likeness – to show him how it really works. His eyes are bright – and his lips are pink. ‘Janshir is a walking miracle,’ says Emma Scanlan, chief executive of Chain of Hope, which brings children to Britain for heart surgery and conducts operating missions abroad.

The 26-year-old wife of former Real Housewives of New York star Aviva Drescher's 79-year-old father George Teichner has revealed intimate details about the couple's 'steamy' marriage, insisting that, despite their 53-year age gap, the couple's love life is more passionate than ever. Dana Lavette Cody, who married reality star George in an intimate ceremony in Malibu last year - which his daughter Aviva chose not to attend - explained to Daily Mail Online that, before meeting George, she was close to giving up on the idea of finding a soul mate who would live up to her standards. 'Before George, I only ever dated men my age or younger and I’d never had an orgasm,’ Dana, who is from Miami, says. Scroll down for video . Beach babes: Dana Lavette Cody, 26, married George Teichner, 79, in Malibu last year - and insists the couple are happier than ever, despite the 53-year age gap . Ageless love: Dana and George, pictured on their wedding day, met when George paid a visit to his wife's salon for a pedicure . ‘I began to think sex was overrated. But then I met a man 53 years older than me and finally I see what all the fuss is about. ‘My husband has the stamina of a 20-year-old. George thinks nothing of making love to me for at least five hours every night and he wears me out!’ The couple's unconventional romance began in March 2011, when George, who appeared on a number of episodes of Real Housewives before his daughter Aviva was fired from the reality series last year, walked into Dana's Miami salon for a pedicure. Thanks to his healthy tan, the manicurist admits that she thought the infamous playboy - who became renowned among Real Housewives viewers and castmembers alike for his 'sickening', 'inappropriate' and 'disgusting' behavior towards women - was as young as 60 years old. And when George asked her for an email address following his appointment, Dana insists that she had no idea he was looking to pursue anything other than a business relationship. But two months later, he surprised her by asking her out on a date. ‘I won’t lie, at first it never even crossed my mind to see George as anything other than a successful businessman who could help me grow my business,' she says. 'But I couldn't see the harm in in saying yes.’ The pair shared a romantic candlelit meal and Dana began to feel a mutual attraction. ‘The more time I spent with George, the more I began to fancy him,' she recalls. Happy couple: The pair married in an intimate ceremony on the beach in Malibu, which George's daughter, former Real Housewives of New York star Aviva Drescher, chose not to attend . Moving on: George's first wife, Aviva's mother, passed away a number of years ago . ‘I loved how intelligent, successful and charismatic he was and suddenly the age difference didn’t seem to matter so much.’ And while George's over-the-top sexual antics were the source of much horror among Aviva's Real Housewives co-stars, it seems to have worked wonders with Dana. About a month into their relationship the pair slept together for the first time, and Dana revealed that any concerns she had about their severe age gap quickly disappeared after the pair spent their first night together. ‘Until I met George I had never ever experienced an orgasm,' she admits. ‘But the first time we slept together, all that changed. I was so nervous. ‘I thought he might have a wrinkly body and need Viagra. But George’s physique is unbelievable as he works out every day – and Viagra was the last thing he needed. ‘He’d studied Tantric sex in India and I lost count of the number of times we had sex, but we were still at it when the sun came up. ‘He was so skilled, he blew my mind. I lost count of how many orgasms I had.' Ironically, while George's talents in the bedroom proved particularly effective when it came to wooing his wife, his playboy lifestyle seemed to have the opposite effect on the Real Housewives - and their viewers. Indeed, castmember Carole Radziwill once went as far as to say of the aging Lothario and his 'uncomfortable' behavior: 'The problem is he's so over the top, it's uncomfortable to watch. 'I love a good drama - whether a screaming match or a hair pulling - but I'm with the audience on this one: get George off the TV. Playboy: During his appearances on his daughter's reality show, George formed a reputation with her castmates for his overtly sexual behavior . Sun-filled fun: George and Dana insist that their age gap does not bother them . 'It's sickening to hear an old man sexually degrade women in all kinds of vile ways.' But despite his less-than-chivalrous behavior during his appearance on Real Housewives, it didn't take much for George to win Dana over - and the couple's relationship quickly began to go from strength to strength, despite the then-23-year-old not even knowing his real age. Despite knowing George was a widower with three daughters and two sons, all older than her, Dana admits that she didn't actually ask his real age until six months after the pair began dating. ‘By then I was so in love, I didn't care,' she admits. 'But on his birthday, I said to him, “Tell me the truth.” ‘He took a big drink of wine and took my car keys from me in case I ran away. Then he said: “I’m 77.” I was shocked. ‘So many things ran through my mind, about the prospect of having children with someone so much older, or the possibility of him dying years before me. ‘But I couldn't let age stand in the way of true happiness with my soul mate.’ In August 2013, George proposed during a family dinner at his daughter’s house and the happy couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony on the beach in Malibu a year later. And while George's daughter Aviva, who was often forced to defend her father's shocking behaviour to her castmates, did not choose to attend the couple's wedding, Dana insists that the 44-year-old gave them 'full blessing' before they walked down the aisle. ‘George’s kids gave us their full blessing,' she explains. Family ties: Although Aviva (R) chose not to attend her father's wedding to Dana, the couple insist that the 44-year-old gave them her blessing . Motherhood: Aviva and her husband Reid Drescher (L) have two children together (pictured) 'After losing their mum, they are glad to see him so happy again. It was so romantic and afterwards we flew to Hawaii on honeymoon.’ But not everyone has been so thrilled for the couple. Dana admits that some friends have accused her of acting like a ‘prostitute’ in marrying George, who is reported to be worth about $50 million. ‘To this day, people point and snigger if they see us holding hands or kissing,' Dana admits. 'It did upset me, but I've grown a thicker skin and refuse to let some people’s small mindedness ruin our happiness. ‘George is not my sugar daddy. I am a successful woman in my own right. 'I didn't need looking after by a rich man before and I don’t now either. I married him for love. Anyone who spends five minutes with us will know we’re the real deal.’ Dana says that the pair are desperate to start a family as soon as possible - so desperate in fact, that George revealed during an appearance on Real Housewives that he has had his sperm frozen so that Dana can opt to have his children even after he has died. But Dana insists that she has put any fears about George dying before he gets to see their unborn child grow up to the back of her mind. ‘Of course I worry, but life is too short and for all I know, I could die before him,' she says. ‘I think I am the luckiest woman in the world to have found George. In our eyes love is not a number.'

They show the wonders of the world around us in incredible detail, providing views that could never be seen without the latest in imaging technology. These striking pictures have been selected as the best scientific images of the year in the Wellcome Image Awards 2015. Among the winners are the bulging eye of a greenfly magnified through an electron microscope and the papillae that create the rough surface of a cat's tongue. This image of a greenfly's eye (left) shows the thousands of lenses pointing in all directions on its surface while the aurora-like image of a cross-section of a mouse brain reveals the complex network of neurons at different depths, with red being the nearest and green the furthest away . Others show the strange beauty of a goat's stomach and the neuron connections inside a mouse brain lit up like a multi-coloured aurora. Another gruesome, but also strangely touching image, shows the dissected uterus of a New Forest pony preserved in perspex at the Royal Veterinary College, with the fetus still inside the placenta. Dr Adam Rutherford, the geneticist and broadcaster who was a member of the judging panel, said: 'The breath-taking riches of the imagery that science generates are so important in telling stories about research and helping us to understand often abstract concepts. 'It's not just about imaging the very small either, it's about understanding life, death, sex and disease: the cornerstones of drama and art. 'Once again, the Wellcome Image Awards celebrate all of this and more with this year’s incredible range of winning images.' A scanning electron microscope allowed scientists to reveal the long snout of a boll weevil (left), while the dissected uterus of a New Forest pony reveals its foal still in the placenta and preserved in perspex (centre) and the strange beauty inside a goat's second stomach (right) The super-resolution micrograph of a natural killer cell (left) in the immune system shows it examining a second darker and rounder cell for signs of disease while the multicoloured image (right) is a map of a mouse's nervous system showing how signals are passed between nerves . In total there are 20 images that have been selected as winners in the awards by a panel of nine judges. The overall winner of the competition is due to be announced at a ceremony in London next week. The images are to go on show in exhibitions around the world including Bristol, Glasgow, Dundee, Cornwall, Galveston, Texas, Belfast and Boston, Massachusetts. In one picture - which looks more like a Jackson Pollock painting - the colour coded map of a fruit fly's nervous system is revealed. The image on the left shows an interactive multi-sensory unit that vibrates, bubbles and lights up to distract and comfort anxious children receiving treatment in hospital while the image on the right reveals bundles of nerve fibres inside a healthy adult living human brain are revealed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to virtually slice the brain from front to back, with the front of the head on the left side of the image . The image on the left shows a map of a mouse kidney as it breaks down food to make energy while the tiny bumps on the image on the right are the papillae - tiny bumps - that make a cats tongue feel rough seen using a light microscope in a slide made by Victorian scientists . The yellow neuron is able to sense vibrations while messages entering and leaving neurons at synapses are shown as blue and red circles. The orange circles are mitochondria. Another of the images shows the curved spine of a 79-year-old woman suffering from kyphosis, or dowagers back, taken by Mark Bartley at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. The picture on the left shows the badly curved spine of a 79-year-old woman at Addenbrooks Hospital in Cambridge while the picture on the right shows a 3D printed set of human lungs inside the ribcage viewed from the back with the bones of the spine (vertebrae) visible in the centre . The close up view of the greenfly eye shows in detail the thousands of tiny lenses facing in different on its surface that enable the insect to see very fast movements. The insects are unable to see fine details or distant objects however. A scanning electron microscope also helped researchers capture the image of the head of a boll weevil found on the front porch of a suburban house in the USA. The curved snout of these pests are used to feed on cotton plants and they can devastate entire crops. An image of an almost transparent parasitic wasp, called Wallaceaphytis kikiae, shows the recently discovered species in incredible detail. When the wasps larvae hatch, the eat their hosts from the inside out. Catherine Draycott, head of Wellcome Images and a member of the judging panel said: 'This year’s selection of winning images is not only beautiful - they bring to life an incredible array of innovative imaging techniques, and hint at stories and ideas that go beyond the visual. 'We are thrilled that they will be displayed in so many venues, and look forward to seeing the range of exhibitions, as diverse as the images themselves.' The picture on the right shows a scanning electron micrograph of a single brain cell while on the right there is a tiny parasitoid wasp called Wallaceaphytis kikiae viewed from above. This wasp was recently discovered in the rainforests of Borneo and measures just 0.75mm in length .

The 20 scientific pictures and illustrations have been selected as final winners of the Wellcome Image Awards 2015 . Scanning electron microscopes were used to show thousands of lenses giving a 180 degree view in a greenfly's eye . Cross section of a cat's tongue reveals tiny bumps on the surface that give it the feel of sandpaper when they lick . One heart-breaking image shows the badly curved spine of a 79-year-old woman with a condition called kyphosis . The images, chosen by a panel of nine judges, will on display in exhibitions around the world from next week .

'Once again, the Wellcome Image Awards celebrate all of this and more with this year’s incredible range of winning images.' A scanning electron microscope allowed scientists to reveal the long snout of a boll weevil (left), while the dissected uterus of a New Forest pony reveals its foal still in the placenta and preserved in perspex (centre) and the strange beauty inside a goat's second stomach (right) The super-resolution micrograph of a natural killer cell (left) in the immune system shows it examining a second darker and rounder cell for signs of disease while the multicoloured image (right) is a map of a mouse's nervous system showing how signals are passed between nerves . In total there are 20 images that have been selected as winners in the awards by a panel of nine judges. The overall winner of the competition is due to be announced at a ceremony in London next week. The images are to go on show in exhibitions around the world including Bristol, Glasgow, Dundee, Cornwall, Galveston, Texas, Belfast and Boston, Massachusetts. In one picture - which looks more like a Jackson Pollock painting - the colour coded map of a fruit fly's nervous system is revealed. The image on the left shows an interactive multi-sensory unit that vibrates, bubbles and lights up to distract and comfort anxious children receiving treatment in hospital while the image on the right reveals bundles of nerve fibres inside a healthy adult living human brain are revealed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to virtually slice the brain from front to back, with the front of the head on the left side of the image . The image on the left shows a map of a mouse kidney as it breaks down food to make energy while the tiny bumps on the image on the right are the papillae - tiny bumps - that make a cats tongue feel rough seen using a light microscope in a slide made by Victorian scientists . The yellow neuron is able to sense vibrations while messages entering and leaving neurons at synapses are shown as blue and red circles. The orange circles are mitochondria. Another of the images shows the curved spine of a 79-year-old woman suffering from kyphosis, or dowagers back, taken by Mark Bartley at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. The picture on the left shows the badly curved spine of a 79-year-old woman at Addenbrooks Hospital in Cambridge while the picture on the right shows a 3D printed set of human lungs inside the ribcage viewed from the back with the bones of the spine (vertebrae) visible in the centre . The close up view of the greenfly eye shows in detail the thousands of tiny lenses facing in different on its surface that enable the insect to see very fast movements. The insects are unable to see fine details or distant objects however. A scanning electron microscope also helped researchers capture the image of the head of a boll weevil found on the front porch of a suburban house in the USA. The curved snout of these pests are used to feed on cotton plants and they can devastate entire crops. An image of an almost transparent parasitic wasp, called Wallaceaphytis kikiae, shows the recently discovered species in incredible detail. When the wasps larvae hatch, the eat their hosts from the inside out. Catherine Draycott, head of Wellcome Images and a member of the judging panel said: 'This year’s selection of winning images is not only beautiful - they bring to life an incredible array of innovative imaging techniques, and hint at stories and ideas that go beyond the visual. 'We are thrilled that they will be displayed in so many venues, and look forward to seeing the range of exhibitions, as diverse as the images themselves.' The picture on the right shows a scanning electron micrograph of a single brain cell while on the right there is a tiny parasitoid wasp called Wallaceaphytis kikiae viewed from above. This wasp was recently discovered in the rainforests of Borneo and measures just 0.75mm in length . [/INST] The 20 scientific pictures and illustrations have been selected as final winners of the Wellcome Image Awards 2015 . Scanning electron microscopes were used to show thousands of lenses giving a 180 degree view in a greenfly's eye . Cross section of a cat's tongue reveals tiny bumps on the surface that give it the feel of sandpaper when they lick . One heart-breaking image shows the badly curved spine of a 79-year-old woman with a condition called kyphosis . The images, chosen by a panel of nine judges, will on display in exhibitions around the world from next week . </s>

(CNN)An explosive-laden truck blew up at a camp for Egyptian security forces Tuesday morning, killing a civilian and injuring 44 people, state-run media reported. The attack took place in Al-Arish, in the country's North Sinai province, tha Al-Ahram news agency reported, citing the local health ministry. As the truck headed toward the camp's gate, guards shot at it, and the truck exploded. The injured included 42 Egyptian soldiers and two civilians. The driver of the truck was also killed, Al-Ahram said. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. North Sinai has been the site of dozens of recent deaths. In January, at least 26 people were reportedly killed and dozens more wounded, in a series of militant attacks on army and police positions in Egypt's volatile Sinai Peninsula. The Egyptian army is battling an Islamist insurgency in North Sinai that has spiked since the 2013 ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Morsy. CNN's Salim Essaid contributed to this report.

For most boys, China would seem the ideal place to go to school. Just days after football was officially added to the national curriculum in a bid to win the World Cup, the country's air force has announced plans for Top Gun-style training for pupils as young as 14 to develop tomorrow's fighter pilots. A total of 16 senior high schools have been enlisted as 'Air Force Teenager Aviation Schools', according to the People's Daily Online. Sky-high dreams: A team of 77 pilots aged 18 and over recently took to the skies for the first time in a five-hour flight training demonstration at one of the air force's existing junior flying schools . Aspiring face: These teenage pilots have been trained by elite from Chinese Air Force while maintaining academic studies - as the new younger recruits will be . Off you fly: Each student conducted two flights, logging around 80 minutes of time in the air . The news came as China's air force released pictures of its current intake of 18-year-old trainee pilots being taught at its junior flying school. The new 'Top Gun' schools that will give training to boys aged 14 and up will be located in 15 cities across China, including regional capitals like Wuhan and Changsha, and will be chosen based on their previous performance and the level of support they are able to get from local government. The judging body is formed by representatives from the Ministry of Education of China, the General Political Department and Air Force. All schools are regular senior high schools that offer mainstream academic courses. Cream of the crop: The students were selected from senior high schools around the country . Learn to fly: The students have to complete 18 hours' training in basic aviation theory as well as 28 hours of pre-flight study and one hour in a flight simulator . Lead the world: Officials from the Air Force said China had decided to step up its game because major powers in the world all invest heavily in training pilots from young ages . We want you: The poster of China's Teenage Aviation School programme . Special 'Aviation Experimental Classes' will be set up in these Teenage Aviation Schools, which plan to recruit 1,000 students every year. A class is usually made up by 30 to 50 students in China. This means there will be approximately 20 to 30 teen pilots classes every year. These classes are jointly managed by the schools and Air Force recruiting authorities. Male teenagers between 14 and 16 years old from all over China can apply before September 1, the start of an academic year in China. Once accepted, successful candidates will be given meal and living allowances, a rare exception for students in China. Scholarships will also be offered to the cream of the crop. These teen pilots will be taught under the programme for three years before entering the University Entrance Examination in China for a chance to further their studies in aviation universities in the country. While news about Teenager Aviation School has just been released, People's Daily Online published a gallery of a team of trained Chinese teen pilots taking to the skies. These 77 students, who are aged around 18, were selected from senior high schools around the country to receive Air Force training at junior flying schools. Start them young: The country is endeavouring to provide pilot training among young male pupils in senior high schools . Large-scale recruitment: Besides specialised air force schools, regular senior high schools are to set up experimental classes to train young pilots . In their first public flying demonstration recently, these teen pilots carried out five hours of real-equipment flight training. The training took place at a air base in Changchun, provincial capital of Jilin in northeast China. Shi Yansong, one of the teen pilots, said though their training followed a quasi military standard, he felt he still had much to learn from their commanders who were Air Force elite. Unprecedented showcase: This was the first time China had arranged real flight training for teen pilots . Ready for take-off: Shi Yansong, one of the teen pilots in the flying training, said it was his dream to become a pilot in the future . Air base: The training took place in Changchun in northeast China . 'Flying a jet feels so amazing,' said Shi, 'I must become a real pilot in the future.'

Vladimir Putin today demanded an end to 'shameful' political assassinations in the wake of the shooting of a Kremlin critic last week. Boris Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister, was gunned down as he walked with his Ukrainian girlfriend on Friday night near Red Square. He was the most prominent opposition figure to be killed in Russia during Putin's 15-year rule. The Kremlin has denied any involvement, saying that the killing was a 'provocation' designed to discredit Putin and strengthen his opponents. Scroll down for video . Russian President Vladimir Putin attends an Interior Ministry board meeting in Moscow, where he called for an end to the 'shame' of political killings which have plagued the Kremlic in recent years . Gunned down: Nemtsov (left) and his 23-year-old model girlfriend, Anna Duritskaya (right) were walking through Moscow after having dinner on Friday night when he was shot four times in the back . But Nemtsov's friends say the Kremlin is to blame for fomenting an atmosphere of hatred towards its opponents. In a speech during a meeting with officials from the interior ministry, Putin said: 'The most serious attention should be paid to high-profile crimes, including the ones with a political subtext. 'Russia should be devoid at last of the kind of shame and tragedies that we have recently endured and seen. 'I mean the murder, the audacious murder of Boris Nemtsov right in the centre of the capital.' Law enforcement officials have said one lead they were exploring was that the killing was linked to Nemtsov's personal life or business dealings. Putin's comments indicated that version is now being discarded. Authorities have not made any arrests. Honoured: People applaud as workers carry the coffin of Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov during a ceremony at the Sakharov centre in Moscow, where his body was laid in state after he was shot dead on Friday . Goodbye: Nemtsov's mother Dina Eidman, his secretary Inna Krolyova and daughter Dina (from left to right) pay their last respects at the mourning ceremony . Earlier on Wednesday, the director of Russia's Federal Security Service said that an investigation had identified several suspects, without giving details. Russian news agencies reported that investigators were seeking a car in connection to the killing that may be connected to the finance ministry. The ministry said in a statement sent to Reuters that the car, a Ford, does not belong to the ministry itself but was owned by a state enterprise which provides security to government institutions, including the finance ministry. The vehicle drove past the spot where Nemtsov was shot after the killing and when police patrol cars had already arrived at the scene, the statement said. Thousands of Russians yesterday paid their final respects to Nemtsov when he was laid to rest in the capital. The politician's mother Dina, 87, and four children laid him to rest, with ex-UK prime minister Sir John Major leading Western mourners attending his funeral.

A mother jailed for allowing her children to ‘pick and choose’ when they went to school because she thought they would learn ‘more on a beach than in a hot stuffy classroom’ now admits she was wrong. Claudia Ward, 42, said prison was the wake-up call she needed and that her children all now had 100 per cent attendance records. Miss Ward said she initially wanted her six children to have ‘an amount of choice themselves’. She admitted that if her two older children were up late and ‘didn’t fancy’ going to school she would let them stay off. Scroll down for video . Admits her fault: Claudia Ward (centre), pictured with her children Riley (left), six, and Nia (right), nine, had argued that her children would gain more from a ‘free-thinking’ day on the beach or a woodland walk . On other occasions she said she had ‘just wanted some company’. But their schools and her local education authority disagreed with her flexible approach and she was prosecuted five times before being jailed for five months. Miss Ward admitted: ‘When I spent my first night in the cell, the enormity of what I had done hit home. 'I felt so guilty; my stubbornness had meant I was on a prison wing in Gloucester, miles away from my young and vulnerable children. Great outdoors: Miss Ward let her children play truant because she thought they would learn more on day trips. Pictured above are two of her six children - Riley (left) and Nia (right) ‘I accepted that my views on education were not correct and everyone must adhere to the same rules, or there would be anarchy. It was the wake-up call I needed.’ Miss Ward, who is single, has six children: Jack, 24, Amos, 21, Rudy 17, Annie, 16, Nia, nine, and Riley, six. They have four different fathers. She was prosecuted in 2008 and then again in 2011 and 2012. But the court heard her children’s ‘attendance issues’ dated back to 2002. ‘If it was a sunny day and I thought one of my children would have been bored and sat staring out the window of the classroom wishing they were at the beach – I could not see the merit of them not being on the beach looking at rock pools,’ said Miss Ward, a freelance creative writer from Falmouth, Cornwall. ‘I thought they would gain far more from that. I thought they would be far better actually there experiencing it rather than sat in a stuffy classroom. Riley and Nia: The children were looked after by other family members while Miss Ward was in prison . ‘My ideas for education were always more outside the box and free-thinking,’ she added. ‘I was all about the children having an amount of choice themselves. 'This didn’t tally well with the national curriculum.

During the 2012 court hearing – which Miss Ward failed to attend – magistrates were told that three of the children’s education was suffering through their absences and one had missed a GCSE exam. Liz Mozeley, education welfare officer, told Truro Magistrates’ Court: ‘She felt they could pick and choose when they go.’ On that occasion, after a warrant was issued for her arrest, she was given a 12-week prison sentence suspended for 24 months. But the truanting continued and she was jailed for 20 weeks in February 2013. Cornwall Council said it has been working with her for a decade at a cost of about £15,000 and prosecution was a ‘last resort’. Education welfare officer John Heath told the court: ‘Claudia is a capable woman but has a very odd outlook as far as education is concerned.’ The court heard that three of the children; Annie, Nia and Riley, missed more than a third of sessions between September and December 2012 – equalling 73 whole days. Miss Ward served ten weeks of her 20-week jail term. She was released in April 2013. Her children were looked after by other family members. She said: ‘I was shocked and did not for one second did I think they would give me a five-month sentence.’ She said she used her time inside to re-evaluate her principles.

<s>[INST] A mother jailed for allowing her children to ‘pick and choose’ when they went to school because she thought they would learn ‘more on a beach than in a hot stuffy classroom’ now admits she was wrong. Claudia Ward, 42, said prison was the wake-up call she needed and that her children all now had 100 per cent attendance records. Miss Ward said she initially wanted her six children to have ‘an amount of choice themselves’. She admitted that if her two older children were up late and ‘didn’t fancy’ going to school she would let them stay off. Scroll down for video . Admits her fault: Claudia Ward (centre), pictured with her children Riley (left), six, and Nia (right), nine, had argued that her children would gain more from a ‘free-thinking’ day on the beach or a woodland walk . On other occasions she said she had ‘just wanted some company’. But their schools and her local education authority disagreed with her flexible approach and she was prosecuted five times before being jailed for five months. Miss Ward admitted: ‘When I spent my first night in the cell, the enormity of what I had done hit home. 'I felt so guilty; my stubbornness had meant I was on a prison wing in Gloucester, miles away from my young and vulnerable children. Great outdoors: Miss Ward let her children play truant because she thought they would learn more on day trips. Pictured above are two of her six children - Riley (left) and Nia (right) ‘I accepted that my views on education were not correct and everyone must adhere to the same rules, or there would be anarchy. It was the wake-up call I needed.’ Miss Ward, who is single, has six children: Jack, 24, Amos, 21, Rudy 17, Annie, 16, Nia, nine, and Riley, six. They have four different fathers. She was prosecuted in 2008 and then again in 2011 and 2012. But the court heard her children’s ‘attendance issues’ dated back to 2002. ‘If it was a sunny day and I thought one of my children would have been bored and sat staring out the window of the classroom wishing they were at the beach – I could not see the merit of them not being on the beach looking at rock pools,’ said Miss Ward, a freelance creative writer from Falmouth, Cornwall. ‘I thought they would gain far more from that. I thought they would be far better actually there experiencing it rather than sat in a stuffy classroom. Riley and Nia: The children were looked after by other family members while Miss Ward was in prison . ‘My ideas for education were always more outside the box and free-thinking,’ she added. ‘I was all about the children having an amount of choice themselves. 'This didn’t tally well with the national curriculum. It got to the point where there was no room for dialogue with the school and it was conflict all the way.’ Reflected in her cell: Miss Ward was jailed for five months in 2013 at Truro Magistrates’ Court .

Taxpayers had to stump up the $600,000 legal bill for a workers' compensation claim by a public servant who was injured during a motel sex romp it was revealed on Wednesday. The infamous ‘sex-in-a-motel claim’ rumbled on for six years after the woman suffered cuts to her nose and mouth as well as ‘psychological injuries’. This all came about when a glass light fitting was pulled from the wall of the motel room as she had ‘vigorous’ sex with a local man in Nowra in November 2007. Public Service Minister Eric Abetz is making changes to the federal workplace insurer aimed at cracking down on ‘rorting and malingering' Public Service Minister Eric Abetz revealed the cost of the claim as he engineered changes to the federal workplace insurer aimed at cracking down on ‘rorting and malingering’, by Commonwealth bureaucrats. The unidentified 'libidinous' bureaucrat eventually lost her case in the High Court but left the Commonwealth with a legal bill topping $600,000, including the costs of the bureaucrat's own lawyers and barristers. ‘The flaws in the system were highlighted in lurid terms by the infamous "hotel room sex case", where a Commonwealth public servant successfully sought workers compensation for an injury sustained on a work trip, after hours, while engaging in sexual activity,’ the minister says in The Canberra Times. The unidentified 'libidinous' bureaucrat eventually lost her case in the High Court but left the Commonwealth with a legal bill topping $600,000 . ‘Thankfully the decision was ultimately overturned by the High Court, but at significant cost to the scheme, which had to pay more than $600,000 in legal costs to defend the spurious claim, including for the legal costs of the libidinous claimant.’ Legislation introduced to the Parliament on Wednesday can save federal government agencies up to $50 million in their insurance premiums each year by making sweeping reforms to the much-maligned public service compensation scheme. Senator Abetz said that, rather than paying them to stay at home, his reforms would help turn Comcare into an insurer that helped get injured public servants back to work.

It still clearly rankles with Steven Naismith that injury saw him miss out on a UEFA Cup final appearance with Rangers in what now seems like another dimension, never mind seven short years ago. But the Scotland star has revealed that it’s the memory of that heartbreaking episode which is spurring him on to reach this season’s Europa League showpiece with Everton. Roberto Martinez’s men host Dynamo Kiev tonight at Goodison Park in the first leg of their last-16 tie and the hosts are expected to progress against one of the competition’s lowest-ranked sides. Steven Naismith consoles Kevin Thompson after Rangers' defeat in the 2008 UEFA Cup final . Naismith is determined to make up for that defeat, and missing the final, with Everton this season . Britain’s last remaining representatives in the tournament will have their work cut out to go all the way, with the likes of Wolfsburg, Napoli, Roma and Zenit also still in contention. But Naismith is adamant they have what it takes to challenge for the club’s second continental honour after the Cup Winners’ Cup was claimed three decades ago - and are ready to go one step better than Rangers did in 2008 when they lost to Zenit St Petersburg in Manchester. In his first campaign at Ibrox after leaving Kilmarnock, Naismith appeared as a sub in a crucial 1-1 draw at Panathinaikos that gave Walter Smith’s side an away goals victory. He was also among the replacements at Werder Bremen and in both meetings with Sporting Lisbon as the Scots kept progressing. But four days before the first semi-final with Fiorentina, he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury in a last-four Scottish Cup tie with St Johnstone. Naismith, and his then manager Walter Smith, walk past the trophy in 2008 . The Everton forward (far left) trains with his team-mates ahead of their tie against Dinamo kiev . That ended Naismith’s quest for European glory. He was a spectator at the final and didn’t play again competitively for another nine months. ‘I played in Greece back then and was on the bench a couple of times afterwards but then I got injured at Hampden,’ recalled the 28-year-old. ‘I missed the semi-finals and the final and I remember watching the penalty shoot-out in Florence that took us through on TV and I didn’t feel 100 per cent part of it. It was a great feeling to see the team win but I hadn’t travelled and it wasn’ t great to feel I was missing out. ‘This is an opportunity to make up for that. There was still a great buzz from sitting watching the final from the sidelines in Manchester. It was fantastic but it also makes me think now I’d love to get that feeling again and hopefully go one better, play in the final and win it. That’s what drives me on. ‘It’s not just that I never got to play back then but also that I want to experience the feeling we had around the club from getting to the final in the first place. 'This season when we’ve been playing in Europe, it has crossed my mind that the experiences I had with Rangers can help me, especially at this stage in the tournament. The disappointment of seven years ago, and his failure to influence it, still haunts the Scotland striker . ‘We had to be very resilient and well organised in 2008. Teams found it difficult to break us down and we did well to counter and create chances that way. 'We rode our luck a bit as well and I look at that and think it was great we got so far. It’s something Everton can look to do now too and we’ve been similar. ‘In the group stage, things went flawlessly and we played every game perfectly. We were very solid in the last round against Young Boys as well. 'As things go on, we know it will get tougher and tougher but at this stage we feel we can go further and go as far as the final. We definitely believe that.’ While many English sides have looked upon the Europa League as a distraction from domestic matters in recent seasons, that hasn’t been the case at Everton. Martinez has purposely picked strong sides to keep his team’s run going, rather than sacrifice participation in the competition for the sake of concentrating more on the Premier League. Naismith wants to get his hands on the trophy he came so close to with his former club Rangers . That has impacted on the club’s domestic performance and they lie 14th in the top flight - but hopes remain high they can strike a balance on both fronts. Naismith added: ‘After working so hard last season and being so close to the top four in the league, this was our reward. I don’t think you can treat the Europa League as if it’s not worth going 100 per cent for - and the manager has shown that in his team selections. ‘Sometimes we have found it hard to deal with having games so close together and, with a few injuries, our squad has been a bit tight because of that. 'We’ve not had many players we can rotate but full credit to the manager for keeping a strong stance in Europe. That’s why we have done so well in the competition and he will want to keep doing the same.’ Kiev aren’t the same force they’ve been in the past but Naismith still rates them and is wary of the damage they can cause on Merseyside this evening. He remains confident, however, that if Everton perform the way they can, they will keep up their challenge for silverware. ‘Dynamo are a very good team. We’ve watched them on video and we’ ll continue to do so right up to the game. They don’t get as much air time as many other sides and they’re not seen to be as glamorous but they are dangerous with very good players. 'We will need to watch them and be at our best but we came through one of the toughest groups which included Lyon and Wolfsburg. ‘To have done that with the quality we have, I don’t think we will worry about any team. We believe in the way we play and if we are at our best, we can trouble anyone.’

Louis van Gaal believes he retains the full backing of the Glazer family despite a difficult first year in charge of Manchester United. The next five matches will have a big bearing on whether Van Gaal's maiden season at the club will be regarded as a success or failure. United are two points inside the top four with 10 matches to go and after Sunday's game against Tottenham, they face Liverpool, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea. Louis van Gaal is targeting second place in the Barclays Premier League with a late push in the run-in . The Manchester United manager believes catching local rivals Manchester City is an achievable target . Despite a run of three defeats in 23 matches, some supporters have complained about a lack of tempo, flair and width from Van Gaal's side. But, crucially, the United boss thinks he still has the support of the Glazer family, who own the club, and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward. 'I have faith that I can complete my three years,' the United manager said. 'I think they are pleased with my way of managing the club.' Van Gaal proudly recalled the long list of successes to support his point at a press conference on Friday. The Dutchman reminded those present that he had won silverware in his first season at Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Ryan Giggs and Van Gaal haven't had the greatest season but are still well in with a chance of a top four spot . The 63-year-old also recalled the fact that he won the 2008-09 Eredivisie with AZ Alkmaar a year after finishing 11th. 'I said I will (leave) but the (AZ) players came to my house to ask me to stay, and the board also,' he said. 'Then we were the champion.'

United are out of the FA Cup following their quarter-final defeat to Arsenal and they are 10 points behind Chelsea, who have a match in hand. Van Gaal's sole task is bringing Champions League football back to Old Trafford. The Dutchman has not contemplated what failure would cost United.

United are facing a difficult run following their FA Cup exit at the hands of Arsenal last Monday . Van Gaal has been criticised for his 'long ball' tactics but insists the club support his philosophy . 'I am here because of my qualities and my philosophy. That we have spoken about in our first sessions with each other, Ed Woodward and myself. After that I have spoken with the Glazers. Because of those discussions I am here now. 'I am not thinking of the consequences if we are not in the first four. It is very bad for the club. But why do we have to speak about things that are not happening yet? 'We are longer in the top four than Arsenal.' Van Gaal is likely to receive significant backing in the transfer market regardless of where United finish. Most of last year's signings continue to struggle. Angel di Maria cost £59.7million but his star has faded fast after an encouraging start. British football's record signing is suspended for Sunday's match against Spurs after being sent off for tugging referee Michael Oliver's shirt in the defeat to Arsenal. The Argentinian has also had to deal with off-the-pitch problems, most notably a house move after his Cheshire mansion was targeted by burglars in February.

Angel di Maria pleads his innocence after being booked by referee Michael Oliver in the defeat to Arsenal . Oliver shows the red card to Di Maria after he tugged at the referees shirt following a yellow card . 'As a manager you can never say no or yes because, in the end, the player shall always decide.

'I think that he shall stay because his reaction after the defeat and the red card is very good. I like his attitude.' Van Gaal says his door is always open if Di Maria or any other player becomes unhappy. Van Gaal insists Di Maria will stay at Old Trafford, despite his unrest both on and off the field .

A suspended Roman Catholic priest who authorities say dealt pounds of methamphetamine and bought a sex shop to possibly launder his drug money is asking a federal judge for leniency when he is sentenced next week. Monsignor Kevin Wallin's public defender filed a sentencing request in federal court in Hartford on Monday citing Wallin's three decades of charitable service as well as more than 80 letters of support, including one from the late New York Cardinal Edward Egan. Wallin, 63, dubbed 'Monsignor Meth', pleaded guilty in 2013 to a methamphetamine conspiracy charge and agreed to a potential prison sentence of 10 to 11 years. Kevin Wallin, 63, dubbed 'Monsignor Meth', pleaded guilty in 2013 to a methamphetamine conspiracy charge and agreed to a potential prison sentence of 10 to 11 years . Already imprisoned for the past two years, he is now asking for a sentence of no more than four years in prison followed by a year of home confinement, 500 hours of community service and drug treatment. Sentencing is scheduled for March 24. 'The record evidence demonstrates that Kevin Wallin is an extraordinary man whose remarkable character and acts have touched thousands of people,' Wallin's public defender, Kelly Barrett, wrote in the sentencing request. 'Kevin tragically became a methamphetamine addict. He fell from grace and did criminal wrong, but has confessed his crimes and has been working hard to atone for them.' Barrett wrote that Wallin's numerous accomplishments include serving as pastor of St. Peter's Parish in Danbury and the Cathedral Parish in Bridgeport, volunteering with a variety of community groups, helping found an AIDS ministry program, leading an inner city charity group, serving on the Danbury Cultural Commission and serving on the board of directors of Sacred Heart University. Egan, who died earlier this month, was bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport from 1988 to 2000. He praised Wallin in a letter to the court. Wallin bought the Land of Oz & Dorothy's Place adult video and sex toy shop in North Haven and had apparently intended to launder drug proceeds . 'He was outstanding in the fulfillment of his assignments and in his concern for people in need,' Egan wrote. 'Father Wallin was held in highest regard as a dedicated clergyman and an outstanding citizen as well.' Federal prosecutors say Wallin committed serious crimes and most people convicted of conspiring to sell meth are sentenced to at least 10 years in prison. Federal investigators said Wallin had associates in California send him methamphetamine beginning in late 2008 or early 2009. By 2011, Wallin's partners were sending him one to three pounds of meth a month and Wallin was running the drug operation out of his apartment in Waterbury, investigators said. Wallin also bought the 'Land of Oz & Dorothy's Place' adult video and sex toy shop in North Haven and apparently intended to launder drug proceeds that totaled in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, federal agents said in court documents. Wallin served as the pastor at St. Augustine's in Bridgeport for nine years before taking a sabbatical in 2011 for health and personal reasons . Wallin's two accomplices in California — Chad McCluskey of San Clemente and Kristen Laschober of Laguna Niguel — were both sentenced last year to five years in prison. Two men who helped Wallin sell drugs in Connecticut also were convicted. Kenneth Devries of Waterbury was sentenced to more than two years in prison and Michael Nelson of Manchester awaits sentencing. Brian Wallace, a spokesman for the Diocese of Bridgeport, said Wallin is still a priest, but remains suspended from public ministry. 'We're asking for prayers for him, understanding and recognizing that many people ... suffer from addiction and they lose control of their lives,' Wallace said.

(CNN)During a conversation with a professor at an Ivy League college, a mother nudges her daughter to share how she's president of her school's "survivors-of-bulimia" group. Hoping to impress the Yale admissions committee, a student writes an essay about the time she was so engrossed in a discussion with a French teacher she admired that she urinated on herself instead of interrupting the teacher or leaving the room. Looking to give their child an edge, parents hire a college admissions consultant when their child is in the eighth grade and know the total tab will be roughly $50,000. How I wish I could report that those three nuggets were pure fiction, morsels from my imagination for a great storyline for a novel or television series. But sadly, they are all-too-real examples included in a provocative new book "Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be: An Antidote to the College Admissions Mania" by award-winning New York Times op-ed columnist and bestselling author Frank Bruni. Those examples, Bruni said, should really be "wake-up calls" for any parents or students currently engaged in, or one day likely to be consumed by, the "What school will I get into?" annual game. "This says that we are attaching a level of importance to this that is just completely bonkers," Bruni said during a recent interview. Student goes 8 for 8 in Ivy League college admissions . For many families in the United States, the challenge isn't getting into the right college. It is being able to afford the school of their choice, or any school for that matter. But for many middle- and upper-income families, the college admissions process is as frenzied as ever with the belief that one school can make or break a child's future. I had to ask Bruni, whom I met during my time covering presidential politics, how exactly college admissions became so insanely intense and ridiculously competitive. We both laughed that the process was definitely not nearly as manic or as charged when we both went to college in the '80s. Bruni points to a number of factors all mixed together, creating "this kind of perfect storm of just absolute fixation, panic, etc." about where kids are going to go to school, whether it's exclusive enough and whether they've "breached the inner sanctum." There's the economic pessimism over the past decade, combined with a widening chasm between the haves and have-nots, he said. "I think all of that has made parents feel anxious on behalf of their kids and has made them feel like their kids have to have anything that might be a leg up, and if an elite school is a leg up, well, then dammit, let's get them that." Adding to the dangerous brew, says Bruni, is the "whole test prep and college coaching industry." Yes, it has become an industry, with parents and students willing to pay thousands of dollars to consultants for an extra edge. That "industry" didn't exist just three decades ago when Frank and I were applying. 5 ways community colleges are fixing higher education . The final piece of the puzzle are the colleges, which have essentially become businesses, marketing themselves and using their acceptance rate as a bragging right. "So when you have colleges drumming up extra applications so that they can then claim an acceptance rate below 15%, that becomes part of the discussion that adds to the anxiety because you look at these numbers and you think, 'Oh my God, if I don't begin doing SAT prep as a freshman in high school, if I don't hire the private tutor,' " I won't get in -- or so the thinking goes, said Bruni. But how much does where you go really determine how successful you will ultimately be? Consider the Fortune 500 and the alma maters of the heads of the 10 companies with the highest gross revenues back in the summer of 2014. There was only one Ivy League school on the list (Dartmouth), Bruni says in his book. When you look at the Fortune 500 executives in the top 30, you see Cornell, Princeton and Brown, but also the University of Central Oklahoma, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Minnesota, he writes. The point is there isn't one exact path to the corner office, and an Ivy League degree or a degree from another prestigious private university is neither a requirement nor a guarantee. National politics is another case in point. Sure, there are presidents who hail from the Ivies (George W. Bush, Bill Clinton) but there are many who don't: Ronald Reagan went to Eureka College, a small school in Illinois, and Richard Nixon got his undergraduate degree from Whittier College in Southern California. Looking at other national politicians who either ran for or could run for president someday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Vice President Joe Biden graduated from the University of Delaware, Paul Ryan from Miami University of Ohio and John Edwards from North Carolina State University. Bruni said a big reason for writing the book was that when he surveyed the accomplished people he has known and interviewed, there didn't seem to be any "exaggerated concentration" of people coming from the most selective colleges. "So the amount of importance that parents and kids seem to be attaching to the selectiveness of where they went to school did not seem to me to jibe at all with the ingredients of success as manifest in the people I've met who were successful and even more to the point content," he said. "And so I felt like that contradiction really needed to be pointed out in a bold way." Part of what fuels the perception that the most successful among us always attend the most selective schools is what we see and read about people who've made it. For instance, take the "30 Under 30" list, which Forbes magazine puts out every year. Bruni writes about how back in 2013, a website called the 60second Recap noted how every time honorees attended a school like Harvard, Stanford or Princeton, it was mentioned in the profile. But if they hadn't graduated from such a school, Forbes didn't mention their alma mater. "So why do we get the impression that so many of the world's most glittering people went to these schools? Because when they've gone to those schools, we make it part of their biography because we think it explains something. And when they haven't gone to those schools, we skip right over it because we think it's actually contradictory evidence when it may be anything but." One of the most poignant stories that Bruni shares in his book is the letter Matt Levin's parents wrote to him the night before he received his first college response. Levin, like many of his classmates at Cold Spring Harbor High School on Long Island, had Ivy on his mind. He hoped for admission to Yale, Princeton or Brown, and he did everything to be a standout candidate: studying with a tutor for the SATs, playing on the varsity baseball team, earning one of the highest grade point averages as a junior and volunteering for more than 100 hours of community service. The letters came, and Levin got rejected by all three. His mom and dad, in their letter, wrote, "Your worth as a person, a student and our son is not diminished or influenced in the least by what these colleges have decided. If it does not go your way, you'll take a different route to get where you want." A letter to my son as he leaves for college . "What I love about Matt Levin's parents and that story is ... they were saying, we know you've been filled with these aspirations. We may have been agents of filling you with them," said Bruni. "What they were saying is this is one metric in a life with many of them. Do not turn this metric into a bludgeon that you are beating yourself up with, and that's what I think parents need to do." Is it possible to restore any sanity to the entire college admissions process? Bruni said what we can do is try to change the conversation and begin to also talk about the negative consequences of this push to get into the most selective school. "If we give kids too much of an impression that the name on their diploma is going to be everything, we run the risk of also telling them that their diploma is going to do the work for them." Kids who feel that way often end up in therapy or completely incapable of carving out a life, he said. "If we talk about all the things that happen, all the negative things that attend an over-concentration on getting into an elite school, then maybe we will begin to not concentrate as much on getting into elite schools." Bruni hopes parents and students read his book, but he especially hopes graduating seniors read it before they head off to school. Because while we spend so much time worrying about where our kids are going to get in, we spend less time on what they are going to do and explore when they get there. "So my dream audience are kids going off to college, and kids who are going off to college ... being made to think about more than the name on their sweatshirt and being made to ponder what they're going to do with this extraordinary privilege."

Police were called to reports of a disturbance at the home of the 22-year-old's estranged wife in Beaverton, Oregon, just before midnight on Sunday. Christopher Kling, 22, has been accused of blowing marijuana into the mouth of his infant child . Officers were said to have diffused a row over the pairs children when a concerned family friend passed them the video, according to NBC News. The friend was alleged to have told police that he was concerned for the child's safety and claimed this was not the first time Kling had blown fumes into the infant's mouth. The video, which has not been released by police, allegedly shows the baby coughing after ingesting the vapor, according to court papers. 'Children are one of the most vulnerable in our society and often don't have a voice,' police reportedly told NBC News. 'The Beaverton Police Department is grateful for this family friend that decided to be the voice for this infant.' Kling was charged with three felony counts of application of a controlled substance to a minor yesterday. He is currently in Washington County Jail where his bail had been set at $1,000.

They may light our paths at night, but streetlamps and other sources of artificial light at night time affect the growth and flowering of plants as well as the number of insects, according to a new study. Researchers have shown that light pollution can impact the natural environment in complex ways that may be hard to predict. Given that cities are lit up 24-hours-a-day in many developed countries, there are fears that such ecological impacts may be widespread. Researchers have shown that light pollution can impact the natural environment in complex ways that may be hard to predict. This image shows the two different types of light treatment used - ‘white' light similar to newer commercial LED street lighting systems and an 'amber' light simulating a type of sodium street lamp . Researchers from the University of Exeter simulated the effects of street lighting on artificial grassland plots containing a community of invertebrates at night. They exposed them to two different types of light treatment - a ‘white' light similar to newer commercial LED street lighting systems and an 'amber' light simulating the type of sodium street lamp still found in much of the UK and further afield. The experiments investigated the effects of the lighting on the population density of a species of pea aphid. The low intensity amber light was shown to prevent flowering in a wild relative of peas and beans called greater bird's foot trefoil, which is a key source of food for the pea aphid in grasslands and road verges, especially in mid-summer. The study showed that low intensity amber light caused by street lighting in cities (a stock image of London at dusk is shown) prevented flowering in a wild relative of peas and beans called greater bird's foot trefoil, which is a key source of food for the pea aphid in grasslands and road verges, especially in mid summer . Bright lights in Europe’s cities may be causing urban blackbirds to reach sexual maturity quicker their country cousins. Animal biologists from Glasgow University and the Max Planck Institute for Orntihology in Seewiesen, near Munich, fitted tiny light loggers to the backs of 100 blackbirds in the city of Munich and in a nearby forest. The light loggers tracked the amount of light birds in both environments were exposed to each day and sent the data to experts. They found that the additional light from artificial sources caused the city birds to perceive the days to be longer by 49 minutes on average. The additional light had an effect on the city birds’ photoperiod, which is the part of the day that organisms use to time their daily and seasonal biology. As a result, the birds in early March experienced the day length that their country counterparts experienced in late March, according to the study published in journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. The city birds’ perception that they were living at a later point in the year caused them to reach sexual maturity in anticipation of breeding season 19 days earlier than the forest birds. Study leader Dr Davide Dominoni of the university, said: ‘Artificial light at night is one of the most obvious environmental changes affecting the habitat of wild animals. ‘The global increase in light pollution poses new challenges to wild species, but we’re very much in the early stages of understanding the effects of exposure to light at night.' They found that the number of aphids declined under the light treatment in mid-August due to the limited amount of food available. Professor Kevin Gaston, Director of the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) said: ‘These are the first findings from major long-term experiments … and already reveal how profound the impacts of artificial night time lighting can be on even simple communities of organisms.’ Dr Jonathan Bennie added: ‘Our results suggest that by lighting up our night time environment we trigger complex effects on natural food webs. ‘While we are all aware that street lights often attract insects at night, we show that they may have more permanent, widespread impacts on wildlife and ecosystems.’ Another study carried out at the university, along with Bat Conservation Ireland, revealed that bats don’t like streetlights either and that activity was generally lower in street-lit areas than in dark locations with similar habitat. The findings have important implications for conservation, overturning the previous assumption that common bats benefited from street-lights because they could feed on the insects that congregated around them. The research, published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, found that the activity of soprano pipistrelle, noctule and serotine bats was similar or lower in areas with street lighting compared with dark areas. An increase in the activity of the UK’s most common bat, the common pipistrelle, was only seen in locations where there was also a high amount of shelter from trees or hedgerows. The only species for which lighting appeared favourable was Leisler’s bat, a species common in Ireland but rare in Britain. Dr Fiona Mathews said: ‘People rarely see bats, and when they do it is usually because they are silhouetted by a light. ‘Because clouds of insects accumulate around lights, there has been an assumption that the bats were getting an easy lunch. Another study carried out at the university, along with Bat Conservation Ireland, revealed that bats don’t like streetlights either and are less active around them. An increase in the activity of the UK’s most common bat, the common pipistrelle (stock image), was only seen in sheltered locations . ‘What our work shows is that they are actually usually just as active, if not more so, in adjacent dark areas. ‘We already knew that lighting was bad news for rare species such as horseshoe bats. ‘Now we have demonstrated that, for the common species of vital importance to our ecosystem, lighting is not helpful. Over recent decades, the number of streetlights, and the brightness of lighting, has grown enormously. ‘We also use increasingly powerful lights to illuminate outdoor areas around our homes. We urgently need to reverse this trend.’ The research analysed large-scale surveys conducted in Britain and Ireland, involving more than 265,000 bat calls at over 600 locations. The links between lighting and bats were explored at several spatial scales including car-surveys conducted by volunteers across Ireland, to shorter surveys conducted by bicycle, and detailed monitoring over multiple nights at specific sites. Despite frequently being depicted as blind, bats have good eyesight that is adapted for low light conditions. Dr Mathews explained: ‘When we walk out of a lit house into the dark, it takes a while for our eyes to adapt to the darkness. ‘The same is true in bats – they are dazzled by bright light and it takes time for their eyes to re-adjust. This could affect their ability to navigate. ‘In addition, it seems that their ability to hunt insects is reduced in the light. So although a bat may be seen flying round and round a streetlamp, it may actually be struggling to catch anything.’ In Februrary, a study claimed that humans and the urban enviornments we've created have affected the evolution of a whole host of species - triggering the growth of enormous spiders, the shrinking of fish and the emergence of birds with no fear of man. And the changes are happening faster than previously thought which ‘may have significant implications for ecological and human well-being,’ according to one expert. Maria Alberti, of the University of Washington College of Built Environments, said that until recently, it was assumed that evolutionary change would take too long to affect ecological processes immediately. ‘We now have evidence that there is rapid evolution. These changes may affect the state of the environment now. This is what's called eco-evolutionary feedback,’ she said. A new study claims that animals living in cities have evolved rapidly because of human influence. For example, Pacific salmon (b) have become smaller, blackbirds (d) have changed their migratory behaviour, Crespis sancta (e) disperses less seeds in built-up areas, earthworms (f) have become tolerant to metal, while white-footed mice (c) are carrying more ticks, leading to increased cases of Lyme Disease in humans . Professor Alberti explained that the number and variety of animals living in cities has not simply decreased, but humans are causing them to evolve rapidly. ‘Many species of mammals, birds, fishes, and insects have learned novel behaviours, such as diet, foraging skills, and anti-predator behaviour,’ the study says. For example, it cites research that found the bodies of fish changed in response to the construction of dams and that Pacific salmon have become smaller in urban areas. In contrast, a study published in August last year found that spiders are growing larger in cities than in rural environments. Professor Alberti said that changes in animals have an effect on ‘ecosystem functions such as biodiversity, nutrient cycling, seed dispersal, detoxification, food production and ultimately on human health and well-being.’ In addition to the growing spiders and shrinking salmon, she cited earthworms with increased tolerance to metals and seeds of some plants dispersing less effectively. Earthworms have adapted genetically to a series of soil contaminates, including arsenic and certain plants also have also developed an increased tolerance for heavy metals in brownfield sites in cities. Worryingly, the study also points to evidence of changes in a type of urban mouse, that may have health consequences for humans. Some white-footed mice in New York were found to be a ‘critical host’ for black-legged ticks that carry the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Professor Alberti’s study says that thriving mouse populations allow more ticks to survive and lead to predictable spikes in human exposure to the illness. It also discusses how songbirds are becoming tamer and bolder, as well as changing their tunes to ensure their acoustic signals are not lost in the noisy urban background.

<s>[INST] They may light our paths at night, but streetlamps and other sources of artificial light at night time affect the growth and flowering of plants as well as the number of insects, according to a new study. Researchers have shown that light pollution can impact the natural environment in complex ways that may be hard to predict. Given that cities are lit up 24-hours-a-day in many developed countries, there are fears that such ecological impacts may be widespread. Researchers have shown that light pollution can impact the natural environment in complex ways that may be hard to predict. This image shows the two different types of light treatment used - ‘white' light similar to newer commercial LED street lighting systems and an 'amber' light simulating a type of sodium street lamp . Researchers from the University of Exeter simulated the effects of street lighting on artificial grassland plots containing a community of invertebrates at night. They exposed them to two different types of light treatment - a ‘white' light similar to newer commercial LED street lighting systems and an 'amber' light simulating the type of sodium street lamp still found in much of the UK and further afield. The experiments investigated the effects of the lighting on the population density of a species of pea aphid. The low intensity amber light was shown to prevent flowering in a wild relative of peas and beans called greater bird's foot trefoil, which is a key source of food for the pea aphid in grasslands and road verges, especially in mid-summer. The study showed that low intensity amber light caused by street lighting in cities (a stock image of London at dusk is shown) prevented flowering in a wild relative of peas and beans called greater bird's foot trefoil, which is a key source of food for the pea aphid in grasslands and road verges, especially in mid summer . Bright lights in Europe’s cities may be causing urban blackbirds to reach sexual maturity quicker their country cousins. Animal biologists from Glasgow University and the Max Planck Institute for Orntihology in Seewiesen, near Munich, fitted tiny light loggers to the backs of 100 blackbirds in the city of Munich and in a nearby forest. The light loggers tracked the amount of light birds in both environments were exposed to each day and sent the data to experts. They found that the additional light from artificial sources caused the city birds to perceive the days to be longer by 49 minutes on average. The additional light had an effect on the city birds’ photoperiod, which is the part of the day that organisms use to time their daily and seasonal biology. As a result, the birds in early March experienced the day length that their country counterparts experienced in late March, according to the study published in journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. The city birds’ perception that they were living at a later point in the year caused them to reach sexual maturity in anticipation of breeding season 19 days earlier than the forest birds. Study leader Dr Davide Dominoni of the university, said: ‘Artificial light at night is one of the most obvious environmental changes affecting the habitat of wild animals. ‘The global increase in light pollution poses new challenges to wild species, but we’re very much in the early stages of understanding the effects of exposure to light at night.' They found that the number of aphids declined under the light treatment in mid-August due to the limited amount of food available. Professor Kevin Gaston, Director of the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) said: ‘These are the first findings from major long-term experiments … and already reveal how profound the impacts of artificial night time lighting can be on even simple communities of organisms.’ Dr Jonathan Bennie added: ‘Our results suggest that by lighting up our night time environment we trigger complex effects on natural food webs. ‘While we are all aware that street lights often attract insects at night, we show that they may have more permanent, widespread impacts on wildlife and ecosystems.’ Another study carried out at the university, along with Bat Conservation Ireland, revealed that bats don’t like streetlights either and that activity was generally lower in street-lit areas than in dark locations with similar habitat. The findings have important implications for conservation, overturning the previous assumption that common bats benefited from street-lights because they could feed on the insects that congregated around them. The research, published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, found that the activity of soprano pipistrelle, noctule and serotine bats was similar or lower in areas with street lighting compared with dark areas. An increase in the activity of the UK’s most common bat, the common pipistrelle, was only seen in locations where there was also a high amount of shelter from trees or hedgerows.

Scientists say sharing sad emotions helps women bond. Pictured: Film The Fault In Our Stars . It has long been a mystery to men why so many women enjoy watching tear jerker movies with their friends. But now scientists have come up with a suggestion – sharing sad emotions helps women bond. A research team at Cardiff University found that by sharing their emotions women found the happy parts of films more joyful and the sad bits less sad. Job van der Schalk, a psychologist at Cardiff University, said: ‘Our findings suggest that a negative emotional experience such as watching a ‘weepy’ is more positive when it is shared with a friend. ‘And, at the same time, a positive emotional experience, such as watching a ‘romcom’, should equally be more pleasant when shared.’ The study involved 30 pairs of female friends aged between 20 and 33 who were shown emotionally powerful images and asked to rate them on a scale from ‘very negative’ to ‘very positive’. The scientists put one of each pair in a brain scanner to monitor their reactions, and the volunteers were also asked to view and rate the images while on their own and also while together. The researchers found the images were seen more positively when the pairs were together, The Sunday Times reported. The study, published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, said: ‘When people go to the cinema to watch a film, they ... anticipate a positive subjective impact of sharing this emotional experience.’ And Hollywood success seems to back the theory. The 2008 film Marley and Me, which surrounds a couple’s relationship with their dog, took £160m at the global box office, and last year’s film The Fault in Our Stars - about two teenage cancer patients who find love - took more than £200m. Aggie Romeril, 22, a London beauty manager, said: ‘I think we’re a “stream it and weep” age. You scroll through Netflix, find who’s got the biggest laptop and bundle into a housemate’s bed for a sob session.’ Marley and Me, which surrounds a couple’s relationship with their dog, took £160m at the global box office.

Motorists will get new ‘mini-motorways’ as part of a £15billion overhaul of the nation’s highways. Busy A-roads will be revamped – with roundabouts and traffic lights stripped out – to cut delays and transform them into ‘mile-a-minute expressways’. Details, included in a strategy by the Highways Agency presented to Parliament, also include new slip roads to make the roads flow and banning slow moving vehicles such as tractors and bicycles. New roads: Busy A-roads will be revamped – with roundabouts and traffic lights stripped out – to cut delays and transform them into ‘mile-a-minute expressways’ Up to 18 A-roads are likely to be transformed in the first tranche with seven more to follow. The strategy document says: ‘Our ambition for the next 25 years is to revolutionise our roads. ’Our busiest A-Roads will become expressways, providing improved standards of performance, with technology to manage traffic and mile-a-minute speeds. ‘Users of motorways know they can expect a broadly consistent standard from the whole of their road, and that this ensures they have a safe, free-moving journey.’ But it notes: ‘The same is not true of A-roads, where piecemeal upgrades have often resulted in inconsistency and substandard stretches of the road that are often less safe and a regular cause of congestion. ‘By 2040, we want to have transformed the most important of these routes into expressways: A-roads that can be relied upon to be as well-designed as motorways and which are able to offer the same standard of journey to users.’ 'Vital part of the long-term economic plan': Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin (pictured) said the Government is 'investing £15billion in the biggest upgrade to England’s strategic roads in a generation' These will be ‘largely or entirely dual carriageway roads’ that are ‘safe, well-built and resilient to delay. The first group of nine expressways is expected to include the A303 and A30 from the junction with the M3 in Hampshire to Exeter. The A1 north of Newcastle, which motorists have long campaigned to be made into a motorway, is another, as is the A14 from Huntingdon to Cambridgeshire. These will also link with up to 400 miles of ‘smart motorways’ where hard shoulders are used at peak times to reduce jams. A dual carriageway is planned for ‘the entire A303 from the M3 to the M5 at Taunton’, as well as building a tunnel as the road passes Stonehenge. There will also be a new bypass on the A27 at Arundel together with improvements at Worthing and Lancing in West Sussex. Also featuring will be construction of the Mottram Moor link road together with overtaking and safety improvements and duelling the A61 to improve Trans-Pennine connectivity. A range of duelling and junction improvement schemes on the A47/A12 corridor supporting growth at Peterborough, Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft is also planned. They will be built so that ‘traffic on the main road can pass over or under roundabouts without stopping’.

Dusseldorf, Germany (CNN)Years before he was at the controls of a Germanwings plane that plunged into the French Alps, Andreas Lubitz told the airline he worked for that he'd had a bout with depression. Lubitz, the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 who authorities accuse of deliberately crashing the plane, told his Lufthansa flight training school in 2009 that he had a "previous episode of severe depression," the airline said Tuesday. Email correspondence between Lubitz and the school discovered in an internal investigation, Lufthansa said, included medical documents he submitted in connection with resuming his flight training. The announcement indicates that Lufthansa, the parent company of Germanwings, knew of Lubitz's battle with depression, allowed him to continue training and ultimately put him in the cockpit. Lufthansa, whose CEO previously said Lubitz was 100% fit to fly, described its statement Tuesday as a "swift and seamless clarification" and said it was sharing the information and documents -- including training and medical records -- with public prosecutors. What was mental state of Germanwings co-pilot? It's a development that will likely be a part of the crash investigation, but it's only one piece of the puzzle, CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest said. "We need to know what happened after he returned in 2009 and finished his training, because that tells us whether there was the correct procedure and process," he said. A Lufthansa spokesperson told CNN on Tuesday that Lubitz had a valid medical certificate, had passed all his examinations and "held all the licenses required." Check out the latest from our correspondents . The details about Lubitz's correspondence with the flight school during his training were among several developments as investigators continued to delve into what caused the crash and Lubitz's possible motive for downing the jet. Earlier, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Dusseldorf said Lubitz suffered from suicidal tendencies at some point before his aviation career. Medical records reveal that Lubitz was suicidal at one time and underwent psychotherapy before he got his pilot's license, prosecutor's spokesman Christoph Kumpa said. Kumpa emphasized there's no evidence suggesting Lubitz was suicidal or acting aggressively before the crash. Investigators are looking into whether Lubitz feared his medical condition would cause him to lose his pilot's license, a European government official briefed on the investigation into last week's crash told CNN on Tuesday. While flying was "a big part of his life," the source said, it's only one theory being considered. Another source, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation, also told CNN that authorities believe the primary motive for Lubitz to bring down the plane was that he feared he would not be allowed to fly because of his medical problems. Lubitz's girlfriend told investigators he had seen an eye doctor and a neuropsychologist, both of whom deemed him unfit to work recently and concluded he had psychological issues, the European government official said. Lubitz told the neuropsychologist that he was too stressed with work, the official said. But no matter what details emerge about his previous mental health struggles, there's more to the story, said Brian Russell, a forensic psychologist. "Psychology can explain why somebody would turn rage inward on themselves about the fact that maybe they weren't going to keep doing their job and they're upset about that and so they're suicidal," he said. "But there is no mental illness that explains why somebody then feels entitled to also take that rage and turn it outward on 149 other people who had nothing to do with the person's problems." Reports say a cell phone video shows the nightmarish final seconds of Germanwings Flight 9525, but a police spokesman said the accounts were "completely wrong." French magazine Paris Match and German newspaper Bild reported that a video recovered from a phone at the wreckage site showed the inside of the plane moments before it crashed. "One can hear cries of 'My God' in several languages," Paris Match reported. "Metallic banging can also be heard more than three times, perhaps of the pilot trying to open the cockpit door with a heavy object. Towards the end, after a heavy shake, stronger than the others, the screaming intensifies. Then nothing." The two publications described the video, but did not post it on their websites. The publications reported that they watched the video, which was found by a source close to the investigation. "It is a very disturbing scene," said Julian Reichelt, editor-in-chief of Bild online. An official with France's accident investigation agency, the BEA, said the agency is not aware of any such video. Lt. Col. Jean-Marc Menichini, a French Gendarmerie spokesman in charge of communications on rescue efforts around the Germanwings crash site, told CNN that the reports were "completely wrong" and "unwarranted." Cell phones have been collected at the site, he said, but that they "hadn't been exploited yet." Menichini said he believed the cell phones would need to be sent to the Criminal Research Institute in Rosny sous-Bois, near Paris, in order to be analyzed by specialized technicians working hand-in-hand with investigators. But none of the cell phones found so far have been sent to the institute, Menichini said. Asked whether staff involved in the search could have leaked a memory card to the media, Menichini answered with a categorical "no." Reichelt told "Erin Burnett: Outfront" that he had watched the video and stood by the report, saying Bild and Paris Match are "very confident" that the clip is real. He noted that investigators only revealed they'd recovered cell phones from the crash site after Bild and Paris Match published their reports. "That is something we did not know before. ... Overall we can say many things of the investigation weren't revealed by the investigation at the beginning," he said. While investigators search for clues to Lubitz's motivation, recovery workers continue the grim task of searching for the remains of those killed in the March 24 crash. The remains of at least 78 people on board the plane have been identified so far using DNA analysis. Naffrechoux warned Monday that "it may not be possible to find the human remains of all the 150 passengers, as some of them may have been pulverized by the crash." But French President Francois Hollande, speaking alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, was more positive, saying that it should be possible to identify all the victims by the end of the week. A simple stone memorial has been set up at Le Vernet, where grieving relatives of those killed have laid flowers and held prayers. Germanwings crash compensation: What we know . Who was the captain of Germanwings Flight 9525? The BEA, France's accident investigation agency, said its ongoing safety investigation was focusing on a more detailed analysis of the flight history leading up to the crash, based on the audio recovered from the cockpit voice recorder and any other available data. "A deliberate act by a man with a disturbed psychological profile is a possible scenario," BEA spokeswoman Martine Del Bono told CNN. "The first step of the investigation is to describe more precisely what happened." This will be based mainly on analysis of the cockpit voice recorder, to be supplemented by data from the flight data recorder if it is found, she said. "But we will also look at other events with possibly similar scenarios, try to understand if there are systemic weaknesses which may contribute or facilitate such scenarios.

A Filipino heroin smuggler’s final legal appeal is thought to be all that now stands between Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran’s execution date being set. Indonesia's attorney general has insisted the executions of the two Bali Nine smugglers and other drug offenders are going ahead, even though he's decided to respect the pending legal processes of Filipino woman Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso. She is the only one of the 10 convicts slated for the firing squad who is not yet on Nusakambangan prison island where the deaths will take place. The Supreme Court is considering her application for a second judicial review, and Co-ordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security Tedjo Edhie Purdjiant on Monday said the decision would be sped up. Scroll down for video . Philippine national Mary Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, center, is escorted by a court official and a police officer upon arrival for a judicial review hearing at Sleman District Court in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Tuesday, March 3 . Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso is expected to be executed with Bali Nine members Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran of Australia and other drug smugglers from Brazil, France and Nigeria . 'We'll wait. Maybe this week we will get a decision,' he told reporters, as quoted by Indonesian website okezone. The Australians were moved from Bali to Nusakambangan - the island where the executions are set to take place - last week under heavy security. Authorities wish to keep prisoners on the Central Java island for as little time as possible before their execution. They are required to give the condemned prisoners a minimum 72 hours notice of their pending deaths. With the Bali Nine pair in place on the island, Jakarta unexpectedly shifted gear on Friday and said it would respect prisoners' ongoing legal processes. On Monday, the duo received grim news when a Nigerian inmate on death row had his legal challenge rejected, offering poor prospects for their own appeal. Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso (R) in court in Sleman in central Java island during a hearing of judicial review on March 3, 2015 after her plea for clemency was rejected by Indonesian President Joko Widodo . Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukmaran's fellow inmate - a Nigerian man - had his appeal rejected on Monday . Nigerian Jamiu Owolabi Abashin believes the prosecution case against him has been entirely based on his fake identity. He was arrested under his alias in 1998, smuggling 5.3 kilograms of heroin . Jamiu Owolabi Abashin had his appeal against clemency rejected on the grounds that the Administrative Court did not have jurisdiction over Joko Widodo's presidential decision. Abashin and his lawyer, Utomo Karim, will appeal the latest decision and seek a judicial review on Wednesday on the basis that he committed his crime under the alias Raheem Agbaje Salami 17 years ago. He was arrested under his alias in 1998, smuggling 5.3 kilograms of heroin but his fake identity was still used right through his arrest, conviction and clemency plea. Attorney General HM Prasetyo told reporters in Jogjakarta on Monday it wasn't accurate to say the executions were delayed. 'I assure you there's no delay. I never said the date of execution,' he said, as quoted by Indonesian website kompas.com. Myuran Sukumaran was transported to the Indonesian 'death island' by armed officers on Wednesday . Andrew Chan - now an ordained minister - took a bible with him to his place of execution . It's emerged Chan (left) proposed to his girlfriend of three years Febyanti Herewila (right) when he discovered his clemency bid had been rejected by Indonesian authorities . But he corroborated his spokesman's comment from Friday that legal appeals were behind the delay in announcing an execution date. 'Right now, we have to fulfil their legal rights even though they have already requested clemency,' he said of the prisoners. Mr Prasetyo said Indonesia still intended to execute the prisoners simultaneously, noting that a 'psychological burden' may be created if the prisoners went to the firing squad separately. Chan and Sukumaran have an appeal in court on Thursday, and a French prisoner has one on Wednesday. Chan, 31, and Sukumaran, 33, were on Monday buoyed by their first visit from their families since moving into Nusakambangan. The Sydney families will return on Wednesday during visiting hours. The men can receive consular and lawyers' visits on other days. Nigerian Silvester Obiekwe is also facing the firing squad along with nine others . Frenchman Serge Areski is also facing the firing squad as well as Brazilian Rodrigo Gularte who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia . Just after Indonesian president Joko Widodo had touched on the possible abolishment of the death penalty in an interview with Al Jazeera on Saturday, former Indonesian president Megawati Sukarnoputri reportedly told Widodo not to grant clemency. In a speech she made on International Women's Day, she blamed drugs for the spread of HIV in Indonesia and said that drug use in the country had entered a critical state .

A desperate woman tried to smuggle her baby past airport security in Papua New Guinea in a backpack, as she did not correct immigration papers for her son to leave the Philippines. The two-month-old was discovered by shocked staff at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, as he was picked up by the X-ray machine. According to ABS-CBN News, the child was soundly asleep when he was found by security at NAIA Terminal 1. The two-month-old baby gave staff the shock of their lives, when he showed up on the X-ray machine at customs . The mother was identified at nursing graduate, Jennifer Pavolaurea, 25, who was departing for Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea on an Air Niugini flight. The assistant general manager for security and emergency services of the airport, Vicente L. Guerzon Jr, said the woman had been detained for questioning and admitted the lack of clearance papers for the child. The single mother and her son were eventually allowed to leave the airport and no charges were filed. The single mother, 25, reportedly did not have immigration papers for her son to travel to Papua New Guinea from the Philippines . Travelers walk to their gates at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, in Manila, Philippines, (left). The mother was scheduled for a flight with Air Niugini flight . This is not the first time a baby has been hidden in a bag in an attempt to be smuggled on a plane. In 2012 an Egyptian couple arrived at Sharjah International Airport in Egypt without the correct immigration papers. They were told they would be held in the airport for a few days, so decided to risk their chances and put their child in a bag. This Egyptian couple also attempted to sneak their baby through customs in a bag at Sharjah International Airport in 2012 . Stowaway: The five-month-old was discovered as they went through customs by the X-ray machine, and the couple were arrested for endangering their baby's life .

According to ABS-CBN News, the child was soundly asleep when he was found by security at NAIA Terminal 1. The two-month-old baby gave staff the shock of their lives, when he showed up on the X-ray machine at customs . The mother was identified at nursing graduate, Jennifer Pavolaurea, 25, who was departing for Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea on an Air Niugini flight. The assistant general manager for security and emergency services of the airport, Vicente L. Guerzon Jr, said the woman had been detained for questioning and admitted the lack of clearance papers for the child. The single mother and her son were eventually allowed to leave the airport and no charges were filed. The single mother, 25, reportedly did not have immigration papers for her son to travel to Papua New Guinea from the Philippines .

This is not the first time a baby has been hidden in a bag in an attempt to be smuggled on a plane. In 2012 an Egyptian couple arrived at Sharjah International Airport in Egypt without the correct immigration papers. They were told they would be held in the airport for a few days, so decided to risk their chances and put their child in a bag. This Egyptian couple also attempted to sneak their baby through customs in a bag at Sharjah International Airport in 2012 .

From lions and tigers, to penguins and giraffes, every baby needs its mother. And to celebrate the run-up to Mother's Day on Sunday, an animal photographer has revealed his favourite moments of mum-child bonding in the wild. With two decades of leading trips to exotic places, photographer and guide Paul Goldstein has been lucky enough to witness some gorgeous moments of bonding between mothers and youngsters.

A calf holds on to its mother's tail as the elephants take a stroll around Masai Mara in Kenya . He has chosen some of his favourite photographs from journeys to places as far afield as the Masai Mara and Spitsbergen in northern Norway. Highlights include a newborn giraffe walking within 15 minutes of birth, a polar bear mother and cubs sitting on sea ice, and a comical image of an Emperor penguin chick seemingly waving its arms at its mother. A campaigner for animal rights, Mr Goldstein fund-raises for tigers and other persecuted species as well as writing.

Much of the goodwill Hillary Clinton built up as serving as secretary of state has dissipated, a new poll shows, just as she prepares for a second bid for the presidency. And her popularity has taken an especially hard hit since the public became aware that she operated a private email system while serving in President Barack Obama's cabinet. A CNN/ORC International survey taken last weekend, after Clinton held a press conference at which she tried to explain away her secret server, found that Clinton's high approval ratings as an Obama administration official had entirely eroded. Scroll down for video . Hillary is currently disliked by as many Americans, 44 percent, as she was in June of 2008 when she officially ended her presidential campaign and endorsed her future employer, President Barack Obama . She is currently disliked by as many Americans, 44 percent, as she was in June of 2008 when she officially ended her presidential campaign and endorsed her future employer. That's a six-point drop from CNN's last poll, taken in November, when 38 percent of respondents said they weren't fond of Clinton. Likewise, a slim majority, 53 percent, said they view Clinton positively, down from 59 percent a few months ago, and 69 percent at her career peak in the State Department in September of 2011. Throughout her time as the country's chief diplomat Clinton generally enjoyed favorability ratings in the '60s. It was after she tendered her resignation in early 2013 that the public's adoration of her began to slide, dipping to 55 percent after she claimed last spring that she and husband bill were 'dead broke' when they moved out of the White House. After a quick bounce back up to 59 percent late last fall, Clinton's likability now teeters above the majority water mark. This as the Democratic politician is expected to formally launch her presidential campaign as early as the first week in April. Clinton's last known paid speech, to the American Camp Association, will take place on Thursday, suggesting an announcement will come within weeks. A handful of Democratic operatives are also rumored to be leaving their posts at the White House and elsewhere soon for top spots in Clinton's campaign network. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raises her glass during a toast at a ceremony to induct her into the Irish America Hall of Fame on Monday in New York City. This as the Democratic politician is expected to formally launch her presidential campaign as early as the first week in April. Her last known paid speech is this week . A total of 51 percent of respondents to CNN's poll said they believe the email system revelations to be either very or somewhat serious in nature compared the combined 48 percent who said the controversy was not too serious or 'not a problem at all.' The same amount, 51 percent, said Clinton needed to better explain her motives and that they believed she'd done something 'wrong.' The split indicates that while the public haranguing of Clinton over her use of a personal email address to conduct government business has mostly ended the subject could prove as an effective attack line for Clinton's Republican opponent in the general election next year. Still, 52 percent said Clinton's actions don't disqualify her from serving as commander in chief, and 57 percent said they'd be 'proud' to have her in the Oval Office - up from 50 percent the last time CNN's pollsters asked potential voters the same question in March of 2014.

Dining in a social setting can be one of life's finest pleasures, where the wine flows as freely as the conversation. However, certain foods can leave you on a collision course with culinary faux pas where, at best, you're left feeling awkward and, at worst, said dish ends up covering you or your companions. Just ask Ed Miliband, who probably never wants to see a bacon sandwich again after photos of the Labour leader doing battle with a particularly gristly rasher were widely ridiculed. Scroll down for video . Gurning for change: Labour leader Ed Miliband was caught out by a bacon sandwich earlier this year . How not to do it: Nigel Farage, left, and Boris Johnson, right,  have both come unstuck while sampling foods on the political trail . With an election on the way and plenty of opportunities for the nation's politicians to make fools of themselves eating in public, William Hanson, a leading expert and consultant in etiquette and protocol tells FEMAIL everything you need to know about how to eat some of the trickiest foods without rendering yourself a culinary fool. William says: 'Nothing can put one off a fellow dining companion more than seeing them messily tackle what’s on their plate. 'We now see politicians, TV masterchefs and competing dinner guests badly eat their victuals so perhaps now, if it is not too late, I give them (and you) my guide on how to best tuck in to some of the trickiest foods to tackle.' ASPARAGUS . If served as a first course, rather than an accompaniment vegetable, these are eaten with the hands and dipped into the hollandaise sauce. Rules of etiquette: Never double-dip asparagus...unless you have your own personal pot of sauce . Brits will eat these with the left hand (leaving the right hand free of grease, ready to shake hands or pick up a wine glass, for example); there are some cultures where eating with the left hand is not the done thing, in this case, they may eat the asparagus with the right hand. (Not many know the left-hand rule today.) You may double-dip in the sauce so long as it is your own portion. BANANA . If in doubt, go for the banana, says William: the fruit is easy to unwrap with a knife and fork . Fruit is served as part of the dessert course (dessert was traditionally the fruit course at the end of the meal, whereas today people confuse it with the sweet course). At state banquets, such as the recent one for Mexico at Buckingham Palace, fruit is still served as a palate cleanser. A banana is always the easiest fruit to pick. Cut both ends off with dessert cutlery (very sharp), slice down the skin to unwrap, and then cut off slices and eat with a fork and knife. CAVIAR . The Russians tend to consume caviar from the small pad of flesh between the thumb and the forefinger (again, on the left hand). This, however, looks beyond pretentious in a social setting and is thus best avoided. Instead, scoop a small bit on to your plate and use a thin piece of toast or a blini to consume. One-way ticket to inelegance: If corn on the cob is offered, say no...if it's served, then just chow down . CORN ON THE COB . The little prongs you often get given are naff – especially the solid silver ones (a rare instance where plastic would be preferably, but not by much). Hosts really shouldn’t serve corn this way unless it’s a barbecue (and a pretty feral one at that). If you get offered it, politely decline. If you get served it, with naff prongs, then pick it up and gnaw away. Everyone else will be in the same inelegant boat as you. ESCARGOT (OR SNAILS) Special clamps are often used to hold the shell in place whilst a small, two-pronged fork is held in the right hand and used to pierce and scoop the fleshy meat from within. Tricky little fellas! William insists you use a fork to tackle a langoustine and advises against sucking... LANGOUSTINE . Using a small fork upturned in the right hand, scoop out the white fleshy meat from the tail. Your left hand can be used to secure the shell as you daintily perform your excavation (a finger bowl should be provided). You may see some people pick up the animal to suckle the head – these people are to be treated with the greatest of social caution. Moules be sorry: Use empty shells as would-be tweezers to help you pluck the flesh from other mussels, says William...and always make use of the finger bowl . MUSSELS . The most elegant method is to use a fork to loosen and consume the first mollusc within, before using the empty shell to tweeze out the other mussels, discarding redundant shells on a nearby plate. A finger bowl should also be present, to the left of the setting. Dip one hand in at a time to wash away the grease. OYSTERS . A skilled high-society habitué will know that these are really only eaten in months containing the letter R. The upmarket way to eat is to simply tip the contents into the mouth from the shell, having loosened the contents beforehand with a fork. An oyster fork is a Victorian middle-class invention and does nothing a normal fork cannot do. If an oyster fork is set, use it. If not, just use a normal small fork. Peas release me: Scooping is a no-no, spearing is really the only way to go with the little green spheres . PEAS . Good hosts will never serve these at a formal dinner party, but if you find yourself confronted by petit pois or the like resist the urge to turn your fork over and scoop. Instead, use the tines of the fork to spear a collection and transfer to the mouth. If mashed potato has been served, or something similar, use that as a ‘glue’. Eaten, never drunk: Soup should be pushed away from the diner and then gently tipped into the mouth . SOUP WITH BREAD . Soup is always ‘eaten’, never drunk. The soup spoon is held in the right hand and scoops away from you on one side, skimming the surface. Then sip from the nearside of the spoon. Tipping the bowl away from you at the end to help you catch the last few mouthfuls is perfectly fine. If bread is served with the soup (let’s hope not a slice of bread – a bit ‘try-hard gastropub’) never cut the roll. Break a bite-sized chunk off, butter if desired, and eat. It is not the done thing to divide the bread into two, slather with butter and gnaw away. Don’t be caught out as an air-butterer, either – apply the butter to the roll on the plate, not in the air. SPAGHETTI . Spaghetti can be a nightmare for diners and is best avoided in formal social situations...the one golden rule with pasta is never to cut it, an act of culinary terrorism in Italy, no less, according to William (right) This is eaten with a fork alone and never cut with a knife. The idea of using a spoon as well comes from the USA but is not practised in authentic Italian homes or upmarket British ones. Spaghetti can be messy, so avoid ordering this on a date or when dining with clients. The good news is, at a formal dinner (or even a semi-formal soiree) spaghetti will not be served. When in Italy, never cut your pasta – doing so is considered an act of culinary terrorism and insult to the cook. My thanks to one of London’s leading restaurants, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, for their delicious food which, with the above tips, is very easy to eat. Etiquette comes first...but if you get really stuck, then just bluff your way through, says William . Dietary requirements . It is the guests’ responsibility upon accepting an invitation to alert their hosts as to their dietary requirements. Experienced hosts may just wish to check with those who haven’t been invited to their 'casa' before that the guest doesn’t have any life-threatening allergies just to be on the safe side and to stop the impending drama that comes with a guest who suddenly says they are a vegan, rendering your osso bucco (braised veal) useless. If dining in a restaurant, staff should be well versed in what dishes are suitable for your individual needs. Funny food . Occasionally, we get served something that is so tasteless, bland or inedible that persevering is just not an option. In which case, your strategy is to eat as much of it as you can muster, push it to one side and devour everything else. Hosts should not then question you as to whether you liked it or not. If they do, reply, smiling, with ‘I enjoyed what I had, thank you’. What to do when this guide fails you . There may very well be an occasion where a food that is not on my guide is set down before you and you are flummoxed as to how best to tackle the tricky food. Your plan should be to watch what method your host, or the most learned guest, is using to eat the food and copy. Even if it is not technically correct, they will think it is and so you can bluff your way through the meal… and then get home and research the proper way to eat it so you aren’t caught out again!

He bought four houses surrounding his multi-million dollar home after discovering that a developer planned to turn one of them into a huge estate that would have 'a direct view into his bedroom'. Now, it has emerged that Mark Zuckerberg is locked in a legal battle with his backdoor neighbor, Mircea Voskerician, who sold the Facebook CEO the property in 2013 instead of fulfilling his plans. Voskerician has claimed Zuckerberg promised him entree into the Silicon Valley elite in exchange for the house in Palo Alto, California, which the developer then sold the rights to at a 'discount rate'.

'The real estate developer was going to build a huge house and market the property as being next door to Mark Zuckerberg,' a source told The San Jose Mercury News at the time. In the letter, Voskerician apparently told the tech executive, who is worth an estimated $33billion, that the mansion would have a direct view of his home, including his 'yard and master bedroom'. If 'Mark plans to live there long term, he has 'one shot to ensure his privacy is where it needs to be,' the developer wrote in an email to once of Zuckerberg's people, according to Bloomberg. However, he then made Zuckerberg an unusual offer. Deeming himself a 'good neighbor', he proposed to sell  a slice of the property at '100 per cent premium' to grant him more privacy. Two weeks later, the pair came to the agreement that Zucerkberg would buy Voskerician's contractual rights to the entire house for $1.7million, which the latter described as a 'steep discount'.

In a lawsuit, which is ongoing, Voskerician claims that Zuckerberg promised to introduce him to valuable contacts in Silicon Valley in exchange for the sale of the property, it is reported. In an April 13, 2013, email, the developer, who lives in Palo Alto with his wife, Eva, told Zuckerberg: 'First I am happy that I could maintain your privacy by selling you the Hamilton property. 'Second, I wanted to meet and shake hands for the transaction and discuss your offering of working with you in the future as you stated you have built Facebook on connections that you have with others in Silicon Valley.' He also told Zuckerberg one of the reasons he sold him the house, aside from privacy, was 'your offering to help me get my homes, development projects, in front of your Facebook employees'. Voskerician says that although both he and Zuckerberg agreed on the deal, nothing was put into writing. However, the Facebook founder's lawyers have strongly denied the claims. Email exchanges suggest that Zuckerberg and his inner circle had no intention of helping Voskerician in anything other than a 'light' way. But the developer's lawyer has disputed this. Unless both parties reach a deal, the case will go to trial. If Voskerician wins, he may be awarded back the property, situated in Hamilton Avenue in the once-ordinary California area.

Makan's firm later bought three other homes surrounding Zuckerberg's house - which is less than a 10-minute drive away from Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park - to secure his privacy.

McDonald's workers in 19 cities have filed complaints over burns from popping grease, a lack of protective equipment and other workplace hazards, according to labor organizers. The complaints are the latest move in an ongoing campaign to win pay of $15 an hour and unionization for fast-food workers by publicly pressuring McDonald's to come to the bargaining table. The push is being spearheaded by the Service Employees International Union and began more than two years ago. Already, it has included protests around the country and lawsuits alleging workers weren't given their rightful pay. On the job: McDonald's workers in 19 cities have filed complaints over burns from popping grease, a lack of protective equipment and other workplace hazards, according to labor organizers (stock image) The burns and other hazards were detailed in complaints announced Monday and filed with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration in recent weeks. Workers cite a persistent lack of gloves for handling hot equipment and say they've been burned while cleaning grills that have to be kept on. One worker says he was told by a manager to, 'put mayonnaise on it, you'll be good.' The complaints also detail a lack of training for handling hot fryers and slipping on wet floors. A representative for the Labor Department, Laura McGinnis, confirmed the complaints were received by OSHA but said the agency does not discuss ongoing investigations. Take care: Workers cite a persistent lack of gloves for handling hot equipment and say they've been burned while cleaning grills that have to be kept on (unrelated photo) Chain reaction: The complaints are the latest move in an ongoing campaign to win pay of $15 an hour and unionization for fast-food workers by publicly pressuring McDonald's to come to the bargaining table . In a statement, McDonald's Corp. said the company and its independent franchisees are committed to providing safe working conditions for employees, and will review the allegations. 'It is important to note that these complaints are part of a larger strategy orchestrated by activists targeting our brand and designed to generate media coverage,' Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem, a McDonald's spokeswoman, said in the statement. The complaints extend a central theme of the 'Fight for $15' campaign, which has been to hold McDonald's accountable for working conditions at its franchised locations. That would ease the way for worker negotiations and unionization across the company's more than 14,000 U.S. restaurants, the vast majority of which are run by franchisees. McDonald's and other fast-food chains, including Burger King and Wendy's, have said they're not responsible for employment decisions at franchised restaurants. The matter has reached the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, which said late last year that McDonald's could be named as a joint employer in complaints by workers. Those complaints have yet to be heard, but whichever side loses is expected to appeal the decision. Kendall Fells, organizing director for Fight for $15, said the injuries at franchised and company-owned restaurants mostly came about because understaffing and employees being told to work too quickly - both of which he said were the result of a computer system that tracks sales and staffing metrics. The computer system was also cited in lawsuits last year that allege 'wage theft' by McDonald's and its franchisees for the denial of breaks and overtime pay. That system has been key in the argument by labor groups that McDonald's exerts enough control over franchised restaurants to be considered a joint employer. Nothing unusual: Mary Vogel, executive director of the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, said that the burns and other hazards detailed in the complaints are 'pretty universal' in the fast-food industry . Fells noted that workers are looking at every way they can hold McDonald's accountable, and that workplace injuries are just the latest issue they're bringing to light. Although the OSHA complaint system doesn't let workers name joint employers, Randy Rabinowitz, a health and safety legal expert who was hired by the Fight for $15 campaign, said there have been other cases where multiple employers are issued citations for the same violations. She said she's not aware of any such cases involving fast-food restaurants, however. She said the first onsite OSHA visits triggered by the complaints took place in the past week or so, and that the agency has six months to issue citations. Mary Vogel, executive director of the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, said in a conference call organized by labor groups that the burns and other hazards detailed in the complaints are 'pretty universal' in the fast-food industry. McDonald's, which saw customer visits at established U.S. locations decline in each of the past two years, has been trying to reinvigorate its image. Earlier this month, the company's chief administrative officer, Pete Bensen, said a big part of the U.S. turnaround will be what the company is doing around 'the employment image and our employee-employer relationships.'

Those complaints have yet to be heard, but whichever side loses is expected to appeal the decision. Kendall Fells, organizing director for Fight for $15, said the injuries at franchised and company-owned restaurants mostly came about because understaffing and employees being told to work too quickly - both of which he said were the result of a computer system that tracks sales and staffing metrics. The computer system was also cited in lawsuits last year that allege 'wage theft' by McDonald's and its franchisees for the denial of breaks and overtime pay. That system has been key in the argument by labor groups that McDonald's exerts enough control over franchised restaurants to be considered a joint employer. Nothing unusual: Mary Vogel, executive director of the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, said that the burns and other hazards detailed in the complaints are 'pretty universal' in the fast-food industry . Fells noted that workers are looking at every way they can hold McDonald's accountable, and that workplace injuries are just the latest issue they're bringing to light. Although the OSHA complaint system doesn't let workers name joint employers, Randy Rabinowitz, a health and safety legal expert who was hired by the Fight for $15 campaign, said there have been other cases where multiple employers are issued citations for the same violations. She said she's not aware of any such cases involving fast-food restaurants, however. She said the first onsite OSHA visits triggered by the complaints took place in the past week or so, and that the agency has six months to issue citations. Mary Vogel, executive director of the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, said in a conference call organized by labor groups that the burns and other hazards detailed in the complaints are 'pretty universal' in the fast-food industry. McDonald's, which saw customer visits at established U.S. locations decline in each of the past two years, has been trying to reinvigorate its image. Earlier this month, the company's chief administrative officer, Pete Bensen, said a big part of the U.S. turnaround will be what the company is doing around 'the employment image and our employee-employer relationships.' [/INST] McDonald's workers in 19 cities have filed complaints over workplace hazards, according to labor organizers . Employees cite a persistent lack of gloves for handling hot equipment and say they've been burned while cleaning grills that have to be kept on . In a statement, McDonald's said the company and its franchisees are committed to providing safe working conditions, and will review allegations . </s>

England have promoted Geoff Parling to the second row and recalled Nick Easter to the bench for Saturday's decisive RBS 6 Nations clash with France at Twickenham. The solitary change to the starting XV that toppled Scotland 25-13 last weekend sees Parling replace Dave Attwood, who has been dropped from the 23 altogether. Instead, head coach Stuart Lancaster has looked to Easter to provide lock cover among the replacements as England aim to clinch a first Championship since 2011. Lancaster named his squad before taking a training run at England's base in Bagshot, which was attended by renowned rugby fan Prince Harry.

Gareth Bale's future at Real Madrid was thrown into more doubt after his white Bentley was attacked by abusive supporters. The Spanish club acted swiftly on Monday night by identifying those responsible. A club statement said that three men had been involved and that one was a club member who would now be banned for life. The £80million former Tottenham forward, who has been linked with a return to the Premier League in the summer, was accosted driving away from the club’s training ground in the early hours of Monday morning after arriving back in Madrid following the 2-1 defeat in Barcelona. Gareth Bale's car was attacked by angry Real Madrid fans following their 2-1 defeat by Barcelona on Sunday . The world's most expensive footballer was confronted by fans as he left the club's Valdebebas training base . The £86million signing's white Bentley is struck by this fan while others jeered Wales international Bale . The fan tries to give the car a kick as Bale pulls away and the abuse continues to be thrown his way in Spain . Two men tried to stop Bale, kicking out at his car as he sped away from them without stopping. The men shouted ‘Hijo de puta’ (‘Son of a bitch’) at the player as security guards attempted to calm them down. Bale's team-mates Jese and Sergio Ramos were also targeted. Bale has been singled out by Real supporters since the turn of the year as the team have lost three games in the league. On Monday, Real announced that the offending member's identity has been sent to the club's discipline commission with the request for him to be expelled from the Santiago Bernabeu outfit for the 'very serious offence.' In addition the club say that they will take applicable legal action against the individuals responsible for the incident. Bale and his Madrid team-mates lost 2-1 at the Nou Camp on Sunday night in a fiercely-contested El Clasico . An estimated 400 million people watched Bale struggle on television as Real moved four points behind Barca . On their official club website, Real Madrid's statement read: 'Following the incidents that occurred involving three individuals in the early hours of this morning outside Ciudad Real Madrid, Real Madrid C.

Toast Of New York has been ruled out of the Dubai World Cup at Meydan on March 31 after suffering a setback. A stunning winner of the UAE Derby on World Cup night last March, Jamie Osborne's stable star ended his three-year-old campaign with a fantastic effort in defeat when beaten just a nose by Bayern in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita in November. Sheikh Joaan Al Thani's Al Shaqab Racing operation stepped in to buy the colt earlier this year, and Osborne had been preparing him for a tilt at the world's richest race where he would have been ridden by Frankie Dettori. Toast Of New York, pictured here with trainer Jamie Osborne, is set for a spell on the sidelines . Toast Of New York is, however, now set for a spell on the sidelines. The trainer said: 'He's had a setback and, sadly, he's going to miss the World Cup. I have to speak to the Al Shaqab team and I'm sure we'll be formulating another plan. 'It's very disappointing for Sheikh Joaan and his team, and obviously for everybody here but he'll be back.’

<s>[INST] Toast Of New York has been ruled out of the Dubai World Cup at Meydan on March 31 after suffering a setback. A stunning winner of the UAE Derby on World Cup night last March, Jamie Osborne's stable star ended his three-year-old campaign with a fantastic effort in defeat when beaten just a nose by Bayern in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita in November. Sheikh Joaan Al Thani's Al Shaqab Racing operation stepped in to buy the colt earlier this year, and Osborne had been preparing him for a tilt at the world's richest race where he would have been ridden by Frankie Dettori. Toast Of New York, pictured here with trainer Jamie Osborne, is set for a spell on the sidelines . Toast Of New York is, however, now set for a spell on the sidelines. The trainer said: 'He's had a setback and, sadly, he's going to miss the World Cup. I have to speak to the Al Shaqab team and I'm sure we'll be formulating another plan. 'It's very disappointing for Sheikh Joaan and his team, and obviously for everybody here but he'll be back.’ [/INST] Toast of New York ruled out of Dubai World Cup at Meydan on March 31 .

Nigel Farage yesterday accused anti-Ukip protesters of chasing his terrified family out of a country pub – and branded them ‘scum’. He said his two daughters ran away in fear after being targeted by an 80-strong fancy dress ‘mob’ who described themselves as ‘migrants, HIV activists, gay people, disabled people and breastfeeding mums’. The bizarre protest featured several women and men clutching dolls to their chests in an apparent reference to the Ukip leader’s comments that nursing mothers should ‘sit in the corner’. Scroll down for videos . Nigel Farage has branded anti-Ukip protesters 'scum' after they stormed a pub where he was having a family lunch and 'chased his car down the road' The party leader was dining with his wife and two younger children at the Queen's Head in Downe, Kent, when the incident took place. He claimed his two youngest children were so scared by the protesters that they ran away and hid . Mr Farage said his daughters, Victoria, 15, and ten-year-old Isabelle were missing for a short time yesterday afternoon before the police returned them to the family home. After hounding him out of the Queen’s Head in Downe, Kent, protesters surrounded his car, kicking it and jumping on his bonnet as his wife, Kirsten, tried to drive him away. The Ukip leader later told the Mail: ‘We were having a pleasant Sunday and then suddenly the mob descended. There was various screaming, shouting and intimidation. ‘My children ran away and hid. The landlord called the police who came quickly and later brought them back to my home. They also attacked my car as my wife drove me off.’ He added: ‘I’m used to this – it happens every day. But I am utterly appalled by these disgusting people for bringing my family into it. It was an unpleasant ordeal for them.These people are scum.’ The protest’s organisers denied Mr Farage’s children were scared and ran away. Pictures posted on Twitter as Mrs Farage tried to drive off showed a woman lying on the car bonnet as others banged the roof and windows. Neighbour Sheila Jenkins, 76, said she heard ‘chanting’ outside her house and looked out of the window to see demonstrators in fancy dress. Demonstrators had previously descended on the George & Dragon, where Mr Farage has previously been pictured having a drink, before realising he was in the other pub nearby . The group was in fancy dress and included migrants, HIV activists, gay people, disabled people and breastfeeding mothers . She said: ‘There were lots of them and I saw a big placard saying “Ukip not in my backyard”. There was a man dressed as an Arab, with big dark glasses and a turban, and one with a big beard in a blonde lady’s wig. I don’t know what they were trying to prove.’ Another neighbour, who asked not to be named, said he stepped out to see what the commotion was. ‘They were singing “We are family” and then I saw someone trying to stop a car getting through,’ he said. ‘Someone kicked the back of the car as it went past. I think they went a bit too far.’ Photos taken in the pub showed demonstrators apparently holding a ‘Muslim call to prayer’ and organising ‘Polish language lessons’. Protester Chris Baugh, assistant general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union, boasted on Twitter: ‘I just chased Farage from his local, few others with us & very funny. Solidarity.’ Customer James Beer, owner of a web design company, tweeted: ‘Just saw Nigel Farage being hounded out of a pub I was in by fancy dressed protesters harassing him and kicking his car in. Priceless.’ Staff at the Queen's Head refused to comment on the episode, while the George & Dragon said protesters had initially claimed they were there for a birthday party . The party leader was dining with his wife and two younger children at the Queen's Head in Downe, Kent, when the incident took place. He is pictured at the pub last June . But many were shocked, even those who oppose Ukip. Kevin Maguire, a left-wing columnist, tweeted: ‘No fan of Ukip and also no fan of hounding people out of pubs, frightening kids and jumping on cars.’ Dan Glass, another of the protest leaders, denied Mr Farage’s children had been scared off, saying: ‘He was sitting on his own and left on his own. We didn’t see any kids.’ The organisers later released a statement attributed to ‘photographer’ Mike Kear. It said: ‘As some protesters and the press entered the rear of the pub, I saw a blonde haired woman leaving with two children. At no time were any children seen to be scared or running away. Could this be that Farage is manipulating the truth for his own ends?’ Ukip is understood to have requested taxpayer-funded security for Mr Farage during the election campaign amid fears that he is regularly being targeted by protesters.

(CNN)An unseasonably warm winter has left parts of Alaska's Iditarod trail without snow, exposing grass and gravel and forcing the famous dogsled race to move 225 miles north. Opening ceremonies in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race kick off Saturday in Anchorage. When the race begins Monday, mushers will cross the starting line in Fairbanks instead of Willow, the traditional starting point. It's the second time in the race's 43-year history that the starting point has moved from Willow to Fairbanks because of weather-related issues, an Iditarod spokesperson said. The first time was in 2003. While cities across the northeastern United States have seen record snowfall this winter, Alaska received less snow than usual. Anchorage collected only 20 inches of snow this season, compared with a seasonal average of 60 inches. Race organizers made the unanimous decision in February to move the race after determining that conditions were worse than last year in critical areas, and "therefore not safe enough for the upcoming race," Iditarod Chief Executive Stan Hooley said in a press release. While snow has fallen east of the Alaska Range over the past couple of weeks, other parts of the trail did not get much or any of it, Hooley told CNN affiliate KTVA-TV in February. The racing course spans a 1,000-mile trail across the Arctic tundra, ending in Nome. The race usually takes 10 days to finish, although Dallas Seavey finished the race in 2014 in a record time of eight days, 13 hours, four seconds, and 19 minutes. The lack of snow could be attributed to a highly amplified jet stream that brought warm air from the Pacific to the region, said meteorologist Dave Snider with the National Weather Service in Anchorage. "It's the same weather pattern that brought the east coast such snowy and cold weather this season. Alaska was simply on the warmer side of this weather pattern," he said. Warm sea surface temperatures along the Alaska coastline are another reason for milder conditions, he added.

David Moyes' Real Sociedad side saw off bottom club Cordoba 3-1 at the Anoeta Stadium on Sunday night, as the visitors had three men sent off in a fiery affair.

Imanol Agierretxe equalised for Sociedad before the interval though and Chori Castro was able to make the most of the one-man advantage after the break to give the hosts a 2-1 lead. Inigo Lopez was then shown two yellow cards in quick succession, before substitute Alfred Finnbogason wrapped up the win with a late goal.

Staff at a piggery have been left shocked after arriving for work one morning only to be confronted by an 'ocean' of about 500 dead pigs. It is believed that the pigs at the Pig Improvement Company (PIC) in Grong Grong, NSW, died of extreme heat exhaustion, after an air-conditioning system in the holding shed failed on February 23. According to an anonymous whistleblower's tip-off to The Daily Advertiser, a security company was alerted when the system faltered but they failed to contact on-call employees to notify them in time and all 500 pigs in the piggery baked to death. Over 500 pigs have died in a piggery in NSW due to heat exhaustion after an air-conditioner broke . Pig Improvement Company CEO Paul O'Leary claims the company, who employ 25 staff, are thousands of dollars out of pocket and all the staff are traumatised by the incident. He said that further investigation into the disaster appeared to show that the shed did not have an adequate ventilation system. 'We have 24-hour monitored alarm systems,' Mr O' Leary said. 'In this instance the alert was unable to avert a disaster – a situation every business dreads. 'The consequence was distressed staff arriving onsite the following morning to discover the stock losses.' Mr O'Leary told the newspaper that such a loss has been emotional for the staff, who invest a lot of their time into caring for the pigs. In May last year, Grong Grong piggery came under scrutiny when video footage appeared online apparently showing piglets in pieces and pregnant sows confined to tiny stalls. At the time, Australian Pork Limited told the newspaper that the video footage of the piglets scattered across the ground was clearly staged.

'They portray this as the way the pig industry does business and that's not the case. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, animal protection group Voiceless expressed his concern over the fact that the pig deaths had been covered up. 'That these animals reportedly died in such a horrifying way, and the public and relevant authorities have apparently been kept in the dark for weeks, raises serious concerns around the transparency and accountability of this industry,' a spokesperson said. 'This represents a disgusting and unacceptable failure to ensure animal welfare, and one which would have caused those 500 sentient beings unimaginable suffering.' The whistleblower is apparently a member of staff and was reportedly told by management that they would lose their job if they told anyone. However CEO Mr O'Leary has denied this.

With its dramatic coastline and verdant hills, Ireland’s County Cork has long been a magnet for celebrities wanting a break from the limelight. American-born Irish dancer Michael Flatley has a home there, as does London-born Hollywood star Angela Lansbury, actor Jeremy Irons and film producer Lord Puttnam. Even the hard-drinking Oliver Reed used to retreat to the area for the occasional break from hellraising. But probably the most famous star to find a hideaway in County Cork is the queen of Hollywood romance, Maureen O’Hara, who has owned a spellbinding property on the coast for more than 45 years. Spellbinding: Maureen O'Hara's house nestles in the stunning coastal scenery in County Cork, Ireland . The movie legend, 94, has taken the painful decision to put the home, called Lugdine Park, on the market . Now, at the age of 94, the movie legend has taken the painful decision to put the home, called Lugdine Park, on the market and live full-time in the States. She told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I have so many wonderful memories over these many years at Lugdine, and now it’s time to pass her on to another lucky family who will cherish her as much as I have.’ Once considered the world’s most beautiful woman, Dublin-born O’Hara is relocating to Idaho to live with her daughter Bronwyn. Lugdine Park, which was built in 1935, boasts five bedrooms, 35 acres of land and two private islands. It has wildly romantic views of the Atlantic Ocean and looks down on the harbour of the village of Glengarriff. It also has a guest cottage, outdoor changing rooms and WCs, and a private bathing beach. ‘I have the most wonderful neighbours a person can hope for in Glengarriff,’ she said. ‘We’ve been together for so long and love each other as old friends. Everybody has always been very respectful of my privacy if I want it, but I can’t wait to see everyone whenever I arrive. ‘Of course, I always get a chuckle when “lost” tourists happen to stumble upon my house in need of directions back to the village. ‘They always have their cameras with them ready to snap.’ Lugdine Park, which was built in 1935, boasts five bedrooms, 35 acres of land and two private islands . O'Hara made five movies with John Wayne, including Wings of Eagles (pictured) O’Hara’s big break came when she auditioned for a movie role in London, after she had studied at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. Oscar-winning actor Charles Laughton happened upon her screen test and was captivated by her expressive eyes. He recommended her for the lead role in Alfred Hitchcock’s British-made 1939 film Jamaica Inn. O’Hara – who was born FitzSimons but changed her name to O’Hara as it was shorter – received rave reviews for her debut role, despite the fact that the film was a commercial flop. It paved her way to Hollywood, where, with her alluring mix of red hair, refulgent green eyes and fiercely passionate attitude, she earned the title the ‘Queen of Technicolor’. She starred in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, How Green Was My Valley, The Black Swan, Sinbad The Sailor and Miracle On 34th Street. She also made five movies with John Wayne, including The Quiet Man, in which Wayne played an Irish-born American returning to his homeland. She has been married three times, having her daughter with her second husband, the film director William Houston-Price. One place that has been a constant for her over the past half-century is her vast home in West Cork. She has a unbreakable connection to the people in the small community of Glengarriff and has been the honorary vice president of Glengarriff Golf Club, participating in and promoting tournaments, bringing thousands to the area and putting the small fishing village on the map. There has been many a famous visitor to her home too. ‘Ed Koch was a beloved Mayor of New York City and friend who did visit me at Lugdine,’ she said. ‘We had a wonderful time in our cosy village and he delighted everyone with his wonderful wit. He spent every morning gazing out the window at that magnificent bay, sipping his coffee. Price: €2.095million (approx £1.52million) Location: Glengarriff, Co Cork . Bedrooms: Five . Unique features: Home of Hollywood legend Maureen O'Hara, two private islands and private beach, 35 acres of land . ‘He said it was the perfect view to accompany his perfect cup of coffee. Everyone who visited, famous or not, always said it took their breath away, they loved the serenity of it.’ When asked for any advice for the next owners of her home, she said: ‘Greet everyone you meet with a smile and friendly hand and they’ll wrap their loving arms around you. It’s a lovely, lovely village filled with wonderful people who are so proud of this magical piece of heaven.’

Everybody has always been very respectful of my privacy if I want it, but I can’t wait to see everyone whenever I arrive. ‘Of course, I always get a chuckle when “lost” tourists happen to stumble upon my house in need of directions back to the village. ‘They always have their cameras with them ready to snap.’ Lugdine Park, which was built in 1935, boasts five bedrooms, 35 acres of land and two private islands . O'Hara made five movies with John Wayne, including Wings of Eagles (pictured) O’Hara’s big break came when she auditioned for a movie role in London, after she had studied at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. Oscar-winning actor Charles Laughton happened upon her screen test and was captivated by her expressive eyes. He recommended her for the lead role in Alfred Hitchcock’s British-made 1939 film Jamaica Inn. O’Hara – who was born FitzSimons but changed her name to O’Hara as it was shorter – received rave reviews for her debut role, despite the fact that the film was a commercial flop. It paved her way to Hollywood, where, with her alluring mix of red hair, refulgent green eyes and fiercely passionate attitude, she earned the title the ‘Queen of Technicolor’. She starred in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, How Green Was My Valley, The Black Swan, Sinbad The Sailor and Miracle On 34th Street. She also made five movies with John Wayne, including The Quiet Man, in which Wayne played an Irish-born American returning to his homeland. She has been married three times, having her daughter with her second husband, the film director William Houston-Price. One place that has been a constant for her over the past half-century is her vast home in West Cork. She has a unbreakable connection to the people in the small community of Glengarriff and has been the honorary vice president of Glengarriff Golf Club, participating in and promoting tournaments, bringing thousands to the area and putting the small fishing village on the map. There has been many a famous visitor to her home too. ‘Ed Koch was a beloved Mayor of New York City and friend who did visit me at Lugdine,’ she said. ‘We had a wonderful time in our cosy village and he delighted everyone with his wonderful wit.

(CNN)"This is going to be a test for Serena Williams. We're going to find out what she's made of. How mentally tough she really is." Those were the words of tennis analyst Mary Joe Fernandez in 2001, early into Serena Williams' decider with Kim Clijsters in the final of one of tennis' most prestigious tournaments. The match was being televised on one of the biggest sports networks in the world, ESPN. The then 17-year-old Clijsters had just held to love amid vociferous cheers and -- in a breach of tennis etiquette -- a large portion of the fans on center court at the event now known as the BNP Paribas Open roared approvingly when Williams struck a double fault to begin the next game. Despite Williams growing up about 130 miles away in a suburb of Los Angeles, while Clijsters hailed from Belgium, there was clearly no home-court advantage. Williams' father, Richard, and older sister, Venus, were booed as they made their way to their seats prior to the finale, with Richard claiming in USA Today he was the victim of racial abuse. Venus Williams, meanwhile, said in a press conference at her next tournament she "heard whatever he heard." It was Richard Williams who shaped his daughters into grand slam winners from a humble background, bereft of the type of money used to help manufacture many a champion. "One guy said, 'I wish it was '75, we'd skin you alive,'" Richard Williams told USA Today. "I had trouble holding back tears. I think Indian Wells disgraced America." Charlie Pasarell, then the tournament director, said in the same story that he didn't discount Richard Williams was racially abused. CNN.com did not hear back from Pasarell when it put in an interview request for him and Clijsters declined an interview request. The fans' reaction apparently stemmed from the sisters' semifinal -- or lack of it. Venus Williams pulled out a mere minutes prior to the start, citing a knee injury. Whispers of Richard Williams pre-determining the outcome grew, no doubt aided by the comments of Elena Dementieva. After Venus Williams beat Dementieva in the quarterfinals, the Russian said the sisters' father would "decide" who won. Serena Williams, who was 19 back then, ultimately passed the 'test' that day against Clijsters, judging by the result: A three-set win. Serena Williams has certainly, too, shown her mental toughness over the years, adding 18 grand slam singles titles to the one she won prior to 2001. But what transpired tarnished the tournament, the sport and hurt one of tennis' all-time greats to such an extent that she stayed away from Indian Wells. Until now. Serena Williams plays her first match in Indian Wells in 14 years on Friday, saying she was "following her heart" in deciding to return. In the years that have passed since 2001, Williams went from teen to young adult to veteran, all the while collecting major titles elsewhere. "It has been difficult for me to forget spending hours crying in the Indian Wells locker room after winning in 2001, driving back to Los Angeles feeling as if I had lost the biggest game ever -- not a mere tennis game but a bigger fight for equality," Serena Williams told Time.com in February. "Emotionally it seemed easier to stay away. "There are some who say I should never go back. There are others who say I should've returned years ago. I understand both perspectives very well and wrestled with them for a long time. "I'm just following my heart on this one." Raymond Moore, a former owner of the tournament and now its chief executive, was "elated" to have Serena Williams back in the field. "In the past, the things that happened, there were no winners," Moore told CNN.com. "I think it was a terrible incident. Regrettable from all sides. Now, Serena has been able to change that. We're grateful, excited and happy and we're going to welcome her with open arms. "In terms of her reception, I would like her to be here feeling that her decision was received with the greatest and warmest reception possible." But Serena Williams will be the lone Grand Slam winner in her family attending. Serena speaks about nerves before 1st match back at Indian Wells . Even with the best efforts of the tournament -- now owned by billionaire Larry Ellison -- Venus Williams is continuing her boycott, as is Richard Williams, according to Moore. The siblings' mom, Oracene Price, will be alongside Serena Williams, though, added Moore. Serena Williams told reporters in Indian Wells on Thursday that her father, mother and Venus Williams gave her their blessing when she contemplated coming back to Indian Wells. "We wanted to get Venus," said Moore. "In fact we'd like to welcome the whole family. But Venus I think is not quite in the same place as Serena is. And so we've not been successful in enticing her to enter or take a wild card. "But Oracene is coming and so are some other family members." Serena Williams scoffed at suggestions that the sisters' match in Indian Wells -- or any other between them -- was fixed. "Throughout my whole career, integrity has been everything to me," she told Time. "It is also everything and more to Venus. The false allegations that our matches were fixed hurt, cut and ripped into us deeply. "The under-current of racism was painful, confusing and unfair. In a game I loved with all my heart, at one of my most cherished tournaments, I suddenly felt unwelcome, alone and afraid." Reflecting on the incident, Bart McGuire, the chief executive of the women's tour in 2001, said Venus Williams had been suffering from a genuine injury and that the notion that Richard Williams dictated the outcome of matches between his daughters was off the mark. But he admitted things could have been handled better. Venus Williams, for example, might have explained her withdrawal to fans on court and then signed autographs, he said, citing the example of last year's World Tour Finals. Roger Federer withdrew from the final in London -- but not before he addressed fans and signed autographs. What happened in the final between Serena Williams and Clijsters was awful, said McGuire. "I thought it was horrible," he told CNN.com. "I thought it was very tough on the players. "By that time I'd known enough to know that Venus had been significantly injured and that it was not a set-up of any kind. I thought it was unfair to Serena and Kim." Serena Williams is twice a champion at the tournament and winning this year would be "fantastic," said Moore. But even if not, he added: "I think it's a wonderful ending in closing an ugly chapter. We're just looking forward, we're not looking backward."

(CNN)Once again the global community waits to see if the United States and its partners can really halt Iran's quest for nuclear power through a verifiable accord or if Tehran is trying to buy more time for a clandestine nuclear weapons program it is suspected of having. True, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently denied it seeks anything more than nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. But Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's repeated claims in public forums that "We do not have nuclear weapons, and we do not intend to produce them," have failed to convince the United States, European Union and Israel. Suspicion is well-warranted. Iran reluctantly disclosed to the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA — only after U.S.-led detection — its clandestine enrichment of uranium at an underground facility near Qum, testing of bridge wires to explode the detonators of atom bombs at the Parchin military facility near Tehran, and development of an advanced multipoint trigger system for nuclear warheads. Even the IAEA director noted on March 2 that the agency still could not "provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran and therefore to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities." As a result, the chief ayatollah's words seem more intended for defusing the international storm rather than changing domestic policy. Moreover, Khamenei has made it amply clear to Iran's citizens in the text of an infographic on his website, also reproduced by the state-controlled news media, that "Iran must not cease or slow down" but should "continue nuclear research, expansion, and progress." He has threatened as well, repeatedly, that Iran will unleash a "crushing response" against any nation with which it clashes, making his stated intent to continue nuclear activities more ominous. However, economically strapped and internationally isolated, Iran's citizens are putting pronounced pressure on President Hassan Rouhani and Khamenei. A November 2014 Gallup Poll indicates 70% of Iranians hope their leaders will accept an agreement. They expect the country's economy will jump-start through reduction or elimination of sanctions. So Iranian politicians and clerics, even those on the National Security and Foreign Policy Parliamentary Committee, have gradually begun acknowledging that sooner or later "some sort of a result [i.e., nuclear deal]" will have to be accepted by Tehran. Ordinary Iranians' desire to reach a pact with the West is understandable. Iran's economy ranks only 32nd in the world, according to data from the World Bank, despite its vast energy resources and well-educated public. Consequently its people's prosperity has fallen to a lowly 107th among the world's societies, according to the Legatum Institute. Plunging oil prices have recently added to domestic woes, with that country facing deeper deficit in revenues much needed for development projects. Iranian leaders realize their regime remains vulnerable not only to externally imposed sanctions, but more so to internally generated widespread discontent, which erupted and was violently repressed in 2009. Regime preservation has multiple facets, however. It's not just about keeping citizens fiscally happy. Nuclear weapons work well in deterring external adversaries. Processing such technology generates much pride at home, too. Fifty-six percent of Iranians responded favorably to its continued development when polled in January. Consequently there will be countervailing internal pressure on Iran's leaders to withstand fully meeting obligations under the Nonproliferation Treaty, irrespective of whether a deal is reached, even if the socioeconomic cost to their citizens and fever-pitch global consternation continue to rise. But Iran's leaders also know full well that agreeing to a pact that lifts most or all sanctions will boost the economy and thereby generate additional resources to enhance the regime's popularity at home and influence abroad. This central goal of Iran's presence at the negotiating table was made crystal clear during the Supreme Leader's Nav Roz, or New Year, public address on March 21: "Removal of sanctions is part of the subject of negotiations, not of the results ... removal of sanctions should occur without any deal when an agreement is reached." "We can see a path forward here to get to an agreement ... [and] very much believe we can get this done by [the deadline of] March 31," stressed a senior State Department official traveling with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to Lausanne on March 25. Negotiators have even added three more months to resolve the technical details of the overall agreement. Diplomacy may, as the Obama administration has stressed repeatedly, indeed be the most efficient and least dangerous way to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Certainly neither the American nor the European publics want another drawn-out war in the Middle East. But as the United States and other world powers work fervently toward clinching the long-awaited nuclear agreement with the Islamic republic, it is important for Western negotiators and politicians to bear two central considerations in mind: (1) Irrespective of mechanisms written into the deal, will verification actually be possible on the ground to ensure Iran both limits and becomes fully transparent about its nuclear program? (2) Would the world collectively or the United States independently be able to enforce punitive actions, such as re-establishing sanctions, if Iran fails to comply fully and in a timely manner? Iran's President continues to suggest that his country seeks a "win-win deal which would serve the interests of all the parties," as does his negotiating team. But many Western and Middle Eastern leaders fear the United States and its allies will not be able to truly enforce nuclear limits upon Iran through any treaty. Certainly not only many Asian and African nations, but even two of the superpowers, Russia and China, see little if any threat from Tehran and would much prefer to reopen large-scale trade with Iranians than argue about atomic fission. Last November, Russia even entered into an agreement to build at least two nuclear reactors in Iran. Once sanctions are lifted, multinational corporations will likely invest heavily in Iran and resist having to pull out subsequently. Not surprisingly, influential hard-line Iranian leaders including Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani, who heads Iran's judiciary, trumpet: "Our country and our negotiating officials ... are the real winners in these talks." Four years ago Iran's Revolutionary Guards declared: "The day after Iran's first nuclear test is a normal day ... but for some of us there will be a new sparkle in our eyes." Even if a deal is done, will Iran gamble that with the exception of the United States and Israel, nations can come to live with it eventually reaching the threshold of nuclear breakout or wielding nuclear weapons?

A mother-of-three has credited a slice of pizza with saving her life after she detected a breast lump while eating it. Melanie Thorpe, from Cumbria, found the lump while brushing the crumbs from her salami and mushroom pizza off her shirt. Concerned, she saw her GP and just five days later was given the devastating news she had breast cancer. Melanie Thorpe, with husband Craig, detected the lump in her breast while brushing the crumbs from her salami and mushroom pizza off her shirt . Mrs Thorpe, 52, said: 'I felt absolutely fine and have always been fit and healthy so I had no idea there could have been something wrong. 'It was November 2012 and my youngest son had gone off to university - as a family we always sat at the table to eat, but my husband Craig and I had pizza and were sitting with it on our knees. 'I dropped some on my shirt and went to brush it off and felt a lump. 'I had never noticed it before. 'It wasn't big. but it was substantial and I could definitely feel it - it wasn't just like when you have a spot on your skin.' The next morning she phoned her GP - and was given an appointment within the hour. 'They referred me to Royal Lancaster Infirmary and I had an appointment later that day,' said Mrs Thorpe. 'I met with a surgeon and they did scans. It was all so fast.' Just five days after finding the lump, Mrs Thorpe (pictured before her illness), was given the devastating news she had cancer. She underwent a mastectomy, breast reconstruction and chemotherapy . Scans revealed she actually had two lumps, both of which were cancerous. In January 2013, Mrs Thorpe underwent eight-and-a-half hours of surgery. Mrs Thorpe, who is mother to Adam, 29, Alex, 27, and Niall, 20, said: 'I had to have a full mastectomy, but they did reconstructive surgery at the same time. 'I always say I went to sleep with two boobs, and woke up with two boobs.' Doctors deemed the surgery to be a success and Mrs Thorpe went on to have six rounds of chemotherapy. She now has six-monthly check ups to make sure the cancer has not returned. She added: 'The doctors told me had I not found the lump so early it would have grown and been terminal. 'So I guess the pizza saved my life.' As a result, she is now backing an early diagnosis campaign. 'It is so important to get the message across so that people get checked out if they feel any any slight changes,' she said.
