Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has changed his mind over his side's main aim this season as the Dutchman is now prioritising Champions League qualification over winning the FA Cup. Van Gaal, who has been criticised during the course of the season for constantly tinkering with Manchester United's tactical approach, said back in February that winning the FA Cup was his side's main objective. The Dutchman, speaking after Manchester United's 3-0 win against Cambridge United on February 3, said: ‘We have a real chance now. Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal appears to have changed his mind over his side's main priority . Van Gaal, pictured after United's win against Newcastle, is focused on Champions League qualification . United are currently fourth in the Premier League . ‘Why? We are the highest qualified team in the FA Cup so people are maybe betting on us. I am not allowed to (bet), I am not a casino man – but I give you a tip. ‘Of course, I think the highest qualified teams have more possibilities to win than lower qualified teams. But Arsenal is still in the cup and Liverpool will fight tomorrow (Wednesday, February 4). ‘For me, personally, I have always won a title in my first year everywhere I have worked so the chance of winning the title is bigger in the FA Cup than the Premier League. ‘Every club in the FA Cup wants to win, and so do we. For the club, the fans and the coach and my staff, we want to win a title this year. The biggest chance is the FA Cup, but we still have to win four games to do that.’ Van Gaal, pictured after winning the Bundesliga in 2010, previously said his main aim was to win a trophy . However Van Gaal, speaking ahead of his side's quarter-final clash against Arsenal, now insists finishing in the top four is more important than winning a piece of silverware. Van Gaal said: 'I always want to get the goals what we have set. And the goals we have set is the top four. 'A title is fantastic. When you win the FA Cup you are not in the Champions League which is important for the club, but you have won a title. So for the players it is fantastic, for the manager it is fantastic but our goal is to reach in our first year together a place in the Champions League. 'I think that for a club the Champions League is the highest level. To finish in the first four is a fantastic result, I think. And for us, Manchester United, more I think.'

Albert Carter (above) has been banned from entering any Sainsbury's store in Britain - because he accidentally drove his red mobility scooter into another shopper . A grandfather has been banned from entering any Sainsbury's store in Britain - because he accidentally drove his mobility scooter into another shopper. Albert Carter received a letter from the supermarket chain stating police would be called if he is seen in any of its 1,200-plus stores again as he would be a 'trespasser'. The 80-year-old had gone into a branch of Sainsbury's in Newcastle-under-Lyme to buy a packet of cigarettes on March 7. He accidentally hit a woman with his scooter after paying and paramedics were called to the store. They took the shopper to hospital as a precaution. Mr Carter also struck a customer service desk with his scooter as he panicked following the collision with the female shopper. He received the letter outlining his ban less than a week later. The former truck driver said he has been made to feel like a 'shoplifter' following the mishap and added that it was the first accident he has been involved in on his scooter. He said: 'I understand that they might be concerned about me coming into the shop after what happened but I have never had an accident on it before so why would they ban me forever? 'It was my fault. I take the blame completely. After I paid at the front kiosk I turned to leave and then don't know how it happened. 'I didn't do it on purpose but it was that quick I'm not sure how I hit the women. I was really upset that I hurt someone. 'The staff and paramedics were nice at the time so I don't understand why I have been sent this letter. I have never been a shoplifter so why are they treating me like one? A letter sent by the store manager to the 80-year-old a week after the incident said that if he did enter a Sainsbury's he would be treated as a 'trespasser' 'I want to apologise to the lady. I am really upset to have hurt her. 'Even if I was let into Sainsbury's I'm not sure I would want to go in again after the way they treated me. I have barely left home since the incident.' The letter stated: 'The invitation to enter and shop at all Sainsbury's stores is permanently withdrawn due to the incident you were involved in. 'Should you enter any of our premises, you will be treated as a trespasser and the police will be called as necessary.' The father-of-three's daughter Jayne Taylor, from Chesterton, Staffordshire, has hit out at the supermarket for the ban, which she claims is normally reserved for shoplifters. The 50-year-old, who works as a security guard, said: 'Dad was so upset and distraught at what happened. Mr Carter said: 'Even if I was let into Sainsbury's I'm not sure I would want to go in again after the way they treated me. I have barely left home since the incident' 'We are not denying that he was in the wrong but it was a complete accident, he didn't go into Sainsbury's to plough customers down. 'I'm just flabbergasted he has been treated like a criminal. It's ridiculous. How will they enforce it? 'It's just out of order. He has now lost his confidence and won't go out on the scooter.' A Sainsbury's spokesman said: 'Our teams in store have a duty to consider the safety of all of our customers and this decision was reached after reviewing CCTV footage and other reports. 'We will, of course, be happy to discuss this further with Mr Carter and his family, to ensure that we maintain a safe shopping environment for everyone.' A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman added that the female patient was taken to the Royal Stoke University Hospital in Hartshill as a precaution and had non-serious injuries.

Harry Arter scored his second wonder goal in five days as Bournemouth stepped up their bid to reach the Barclays Premier League with an emphatic 3-0 win over Middlesbrough. Arter's powerful 20-yard strike early in the second half was sandwiched between penalties from Yann Kermorgant and substitute Brett Pitman as Bournemouth leapfrogged Middlesbrough in the Sky Bet Championship table to assert their claim for automatic promotion. Newly called up by the Republic of Ireland, Arter also showed his quality with a stunning goal in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Cardiff. Harry Arter celebrates his brilliant strike that gave Bournemouth their second goal against Middlesbrough . The Cherries were on the front foot for the majority of the tussle against a team that began the day in second place, and Kermorgant could have put Eddie Howe's men in front in the second minute. Middlesbrough goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos made a good save low to his left to deny the French striker. Callum Wilson's pace created problems for the visitors' defence all afternoon and it was Bournemouth's leading scorer who won the first penalty, as he was bundled over by Tomas Kalas. Kermorgant stepped up and coolly drove the 12th-minute spot-kick into the right corner of the net. The first half was played at a frenetic pace and Bournemouth could have been further ahead at the interval. Yann Kermorgant places a penalty during the first half to set Bournemouth on their way to victory . Matt Ritchie had a drilled effort blocked by the back of George Friend in the 26th minute, before Kermorgant's well-struck volley was saved by Konstantopoulos. Ritchie forced the Middlesbrough goalkeeper back into action again in the 31st minute, but his left-footed effort was easily held. Middlesbrough were unable to truly test Artur Boruc in the first 45 minutes. Their best chance came on the half hour when Adam Reach flicked Patrick Bamford's cross into the hands of the Poland goalkeeper. Bournemouth came out after the break with the same attacking intentions as the first, with Tommy Elphick having a close-range header saved almost immediately after the restart. Arter doubled the Cherries' lead in the 48th minute, with his fine curling left-footed effort going in off the inside of the left post. Brett Pitman celebrates after netting a penalty for Bournemouth's third goal in the win over Middlesbrough . Bamford felt he should have had a penalty in the 58th minute after being pulled in the box by Steve Cook, but referee Anthony Taylor disagreed. Middlesbrough thought they had got a goal back in the 68th minute, but Bamford's header was disallowed as he came from an offside position. Bournemouth won their second penalty of the game in the 74th minute as the lively Arter surged forward into the Middlesbrough box before being pushed in the back by Albert Adomah. Pitman fired past Konstantopoulos to make it 3-0 and seal a priceless win. Bamford had the chance to get a consolation goal for Middlesbrough with four minutes to go, but his free-kick went just over the bar.

Bournemouth overtook Middlesbrough with a 2-0 win at Dean Court . The three points moved the Cherries top of the Championship . Yann Kermorgant opened scoring from the penalty spot after 12 minutes . Harry Arter's left-foot drive sealed the points three minutes after half-time . Brett Pitman then added a third with another penalty in the 74th minute .

George Osborne declared Britain had reached a ‘massive moment’ after new figures revealed there have never been more people in work. The Chancellor said 73.3 per cent of working-age people were employed – the highest rate since records began in 1971. The Government said the UK had enjoyed the fastest growth in employment of any major economy in the world over the past year. Scroll down for video . Chancellor George Osborne, who has said that 73.3 per cent of working age people are now in employment . The jobless total is 1.86million, the lowest since the summer of 2008 and almost half a million down on a year ago. The unemployment rate is 5.7 per cent, compared to a European Union average of 9.8 per cent. Mr Osborne said 1,000 more people had found employment every day since the Coalition came to power in 2010, with a record 30.94million people now working. The proportion of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance has also fallen to its lowest level for 40 years, according to the Office for National Statistics. Addressing MPs yesterday, Mr Osborne boasted: ‘The evidence is plain to see. Britain is working again.’ Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who hailed the 'remarkable' employment figures . The Chancellor said it had been a ‘truly national recovery’, with more cities in the North and the Midlands feeling the benefits of the UK’s economic growth. He added: ‘Where is employment growing fastest? The North West. Where is a job being created every ten minutes? The Midlands. And which county has created more jobs than the whole of France? The great county of Yorkshire. ‘We are getting the whole of Britain back to work.’ Forecasts published by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility yesterday showed the number of people in employment would rise by another million by 2019. It also predicted the UK’s unemployment rate will fall from the current 5.3 per cent to 5.2 per cent next year, returning to 5.3 per cent until 2019. Meanwhile, the ONS revealed that annual growth in private sector employment was five times the size of the fall in the public sector. This challenges claims by Labour that the private sector would not be able to compensate for the number of people made redundant by the State as a result of spending cuts. Public sector employment fell by 140,000 last year to 5.4million, the lowest level since records began in 1999 and a fall of almost a million since its peak in late 2009. But employment in the private sector hit a record high of 25.5million, after rising by 757,000 in just one year. Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said: ‘This is a remarkable set of figures, which underlines this Government’s success in backing businesses to create jobs, and supporting British people to seize those opportunities. ‘As a country we should be proud that there are now record numbers of people in work, record numbers of job vacancies available, and the lowest unemployment rate since 2008. ‘For every single day that this Government has been in power we have seen an average of 1,000 more people in work.’ Prime Minister David Cameron said: ‘The highest employment rate in our history is not a dry fact. ‘It means more people with the security of a pay packet and a brighter future.’ Nick Clegg may have praised the Liberal Democrats’ contribution to the Budget – but last night his party was preparing its own rival offering, writes Tamara Cohen. In a highly unusual move, Treasury chief Danny Alexander will today address the House of Commons to outline Lib Dem economic plans. He will even have his own yellow Budget Box, which will later be handed over to a party donor who paid £1,500 for it at an auction during the spring conference last weekend. Lib Dem leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, takes in yesterday's budget in the House of Commons . Treasury chief Danny Alexander will today address the House of Commons to outline Lib Dem economic plans . After skipping last year’s Autumn Statement, Mr Clegg made sure he was on the front bench to hear the good news in the Budget yesterday, but was spotted fiddling with his phone and pulling a series of faces. He has insisted it was a ‘Coalition Budget’. But the Chief Secretary to the Treasury will say today that while his party supports the plans for this year, after 2016 it would diverge from them dramatically. In a speech some Labour and Tory MPs are likely to see as a misuse of Government time, Mr Alexander will propose more borrowing for infrastructure. He is expected to accuse the Tories of making ‘cuts for cuts’ sake’ – and Labour of planning a spending spree if they win office. The Lib Dems want to increase the personal tax allowance to £12,500, add more council tax bands for expensive homes, and raise capital gains tax for the wealthiest. A senior Lib Dem said: ‘Our spending plans post 2015-16 differ from the Tories in a number of key areas. We agree on the need to balance the current budget by 2017-18, but they are talking about running a surplus by carrying on cutting after that.’

In a highly unusual move, Treasury chief Danny Alexander will today address the House of Commons to outline Lib Dem economic plans. He will even have his own yellow Budget Box, which will later be handed over to a party donor who paid £1,500 for it at an auction during the spring conference last weekend. Lib Dem leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, takes in yesterday's budget in the House of Commons . Treasury chief Danny Alexander will today address the House of Commons to outline Lib Dem economic plans . After skipping last year’s Autumn Statement, Mr Clegg made sure he was on the front bench to hear the good news in the Budget yesterday, but was spotted fiddling with his phone and pulling a series of faces. He has insisted it was a ‘Coalition Budget’. But the Chief Secretary to the Treasury will say today that while his party supports the plans for this year, after 2016 it would diverge from them dramatically. In a speech some Labour and Tory MPs are likely to see as a misuse of Government time, Mr Alexander will propose more borrowing for infrastructure. He is expected to accuse the Tories of making ‘cuts for cuts’ sake’ – and Labour of planning a spending spree if they win office. The Lib Dems want to increase the personal tax allowance to £12,500, add more council tax bands for expensive homes, and raise capital gains tax for the wealthiest. A senior Lib Dem said: ‘Our spending plans post 2015-16 differ from the Tories in a number of key areas. We agree on the need to balance the current budget by 2017-18, but they are talking about running a surplus by carrying on cutting after that.’ [/INST] Chancellor George Osborne says 73.3% of work age people are employed .

Wayne Rooney captained Manchester United to a 3-0 victory against Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday hours after footage emerged appearing to show him being knocked out cold by his former team-mate Phil Bardsley in a sparring session in his kitchen.

Ashley Young laughs as Rooney falls backwards as part of his humorous boxing celebration at Old Trafford . Ashley Young and Marouane Fellaini arrive on the scene to celebrate with the United captain . DID HE PACK A PUNCH? Rooney was having a relatively quiet game until the 34th minute, when he seized upon a misplaced Nabil Bentaleb pass, burst through a clutch of Tottenham players and slotted past Hugo Lloris - before celebrating by recreating the video, throwing a flurry of air punches boxer-style and then falling backwards to hit the deck. Having brought the crowd to their feet in that moment, he showed less potency thereafter in his centre-forward role, sending a few efforts off-target, at least one of which he probably should have done better with. Rooney waves to the crowd; his goal put Manchester United 3-0 up against Tottenham in the first-half . COMBINATIONS . Very early on, his link-up play was not coming off, a notable example being when he failed to pick out Juan Mata with an attempted cut-back in the box. He was also not involved in either of the first two goals - but his influence soon grew as he produced several nice touches to help build attacks, as well as getting on the scoresheet himself.

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush already has so much capaign cash in a super PAC that supports him has reportedly asked his biggest donors to limit themselves to giving $1 million each. At least during the current fundraising quarter that ends March 31. Insiders told The Washington Post that Bush is telling his super-wealthy supporters to put a cap for the moment on the high-dollar checks they write to his Right to Rise super PAC. Super PACs can collect unlimited money from individuals and corporations, and spend it to support candidates, as long as there's no 'coordination' with their campaigns when the spending happens. Bush reportedly met with a group of powerful financiers in New York in the final days before he decided to launch the PAC. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . SLOW DOWN: Jeb Bush's inner circle is reportedly telling high-dollar donors to set a $1 million cap on their donations during the first 2015 fundraising quarter . RETAIL CAMPAIGNING: Bush is trying to do his share of meet-and-greet events with ordinary people, like this group he addressed Monday in Las Vegas, so Americans don't think of him as another Mitt Romney . Bush advisers, the Post reported, are becoing concerned that the former Florida governor mgiht get a reputation as a tool of big business and the rich, and want instead to stress his independence and ties to far more small-dollar contributors. The perception that 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was a detached, wealthy candidate who identified most with America's '1 per cent' was among the factors leading to his defeat. The PAC's first campaign finance report is due to the Federal Election Commission on April 15, and the story it tells may determine whether Bush's expected candidacy is plagued with similar accusations. Bush is expected to turn in a report showing tens of millions of dollars collected. Almost no one else in the potential Republican field is thought to have the capacity to match his fundraising juggernaut. New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump is one exception. His own wealth could fund a super PAC independently, but a Trump aide has told Daily Mail Online that he would embrace a retail campaigning strategy as well. 'This campaign is about much more than money,” GOP fundraiser Howard Leach told the Post. 'They need substantial funds, but they don’t want the focus to be on money.' Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and declined to offer a statement to the Post. The Post noted that some of the $1 million donors are likely to becoe repeat contributors once Bush's campaign is formally launched. Big names Bush has visited on fundraising swings include Las Vegas casino legend Steve Wynn. He's in the middle of an aggressive national criss-cross designed to bulk up his campaign cofferd in what his aides have described as a 'shock and awe' campaign. Its success could discourage others with less access to big money from running against him.

SUPER PAC: Bush's political action committee can raise unlimited amounts of money from individuals and corporations . Romney's super PAC raised $12 million in the first fundraising period after it was launched during the last election cycle. Bush's effort could dwarf that.

In 2012 former House Speaker Newt Gingrich got a public black eye because of a $15 million cash infusion from gambling titan Sheldon Adelson. In that same year, the Post notes, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum benefited from large donations made by investor Foster Friess. Santorum is expected to run again in 2016.

A woman left her 16-month-old daughter alone in an Ibis hotel room overnight and was arrested for child neglect when she returned at 2.30am with a man . A mother who left her 16-month-old daughter alone in a hotel room while she went for a night out with a friend has been given a police caution for neglect. The Mexican woman left the Ibis hotel at around 7.30pm when she went to meet a friend and left her child alone until she returned at about 2.30am with a man, the family division of the High Court in London heard. Staff heard the little girl, realised that she was alone and called police. The woman was arrested when she returned to the Ibis, and accepted a caution by police. Her daughter was taken into police protection. Details of the case were revealed as a judge made a ruling on a family court dispute between the parents of the young girl. Mr Justice Peter Jackson was told that the woman had become involved in a legal fight with the little girl's English father - her estranged husband - who was also in his early 30s. He said he had been asked to make decisions on the latest stage of that litigation at a family court hearing. The judge said the woman and the child, now two, had been in England visiting the man at the time of the hotel incident last year. He did not say where the hotel was. Mr Justice Jackson said the little girl had been taken into police protection following her mother's arrest - and placed with her father. A judge had subsequently barred the woman from removing the child from the jurisdiction of England and Wales following an application by the father, Mr Justice Jackson was told. Mr Justice Jackson said he had become involved after the woman asked to be allowed to take the little girl back to Mexico. The family division of the High Court heard details of the neglect as a judge refused an application by the girl's mother, who is from Mexico, to take her back to the country. She is currently living with her father . He ruled against her after analysing issues relating to the toddler's 'habitual residence'. The judge concluded that the little girl had not been wrongfully retained in England by the father under the terms of an international legal convention. He was told that the couple had met in Mexico six years ago after the father travelled abroad for work. The judge said the family could not be identified.

(CNN)Arsenal crashed out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage for the fifth time in succession after falling agonizingly short in Monaco. The Premier League side recorded a 2-0 victory on the night but went out on away goals after the tie finished level at 3-3 on aggregate. Monaco, which won 3-1 in the first leg, was overwhelmed for much of the contest and was fortunate to escape without being dumped out of the competition. Olivier Giroud's first half strike and Aaron Ramsey's 79th minute effort ensured a tense finale but the visiting side was unable to find a winner. No team had ever overcome a two-goal first leg deficit away from home in the Champions League and progressed -- but Arsenal's first half display gave it hope. Giroud, who has often been criticized this season for failing to take his chances, lashed in from close range with nine minutes of the first half remaining. Ramsey, a substitute, drove the ball into the net after Theo Walcott's effort had struck the post and Monaco's defenders hesitated. Giroud had a chance late on to cap a dramatic fightback but his effort was saved on the line. "The best team went through," Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker told ITV. "Monaco deserved it because they played much better in the first leg. We played well today but it was a massive deficit, and it wasn't enough tonight. "We came here and tried absolutely everything, and when you look at the game we could have scored more than two. "Monaco deserve it and that's absolutely fine. They caused a lot of problems away from home. We have to admit that we regret the first game. "But if we continue to play like that we'll do well in the FA Cup and the league. But play as badly as we did in the first game and you're out of the Champions League. Monaco deserved it." Arsenal's exit means Manchester City is England's sole representative remaining in the competition. It faces Barcelona on Wednesday needing to overturn a 2-1 deficit. Monaco, which which the final in 2004, joins Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals.

A mother of two, still on her L plates, has been busted being two and a half times over the legal limit whilst dropping off her children at school. The 41-year-old from the Gold Coast was caught by the Rapid Action and Patrols officers on Tuesday morning out the front of her children's school. According to the Gold Coast Bulletin, her breath test showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.124. A 41-year-old on her learner permit has been busted 2 1/2 times over the legal limit . Police have said the woman was dropping off her two young children at school when breathalyzed . According to the Gold Coast Bulletin, her breath test showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.124 . She admitted to have been drinking the night before at a party with her friends but this did not explain why the mother of two had been on her learner permit for 20 years. Not only was the driver not accompanied by a full license driver or displaying her learner plates, she also had never had her permit renewed. She told police that her children (aged 13 and 16) usually catch the bus to Nerang State High School, but she decided to drop them off to discipline one for misbehaving. 'The irresponsible driving behaviour of this person has not only endangered the lives of her children but she has also run the risk of being in a traffic accident,' Inspector Shane Holmes told the Gold Coast Bulletin. 'It is very concerning that people within our community are still not adhering to the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol.' The woman said her children usually catch the bus but she dropped them off to punish them for misbehaving . She was charged with drink-driving, being an unaccompanied learner driver and failing to display L plates . Inspector Holmes has assured that school zones would be targeted by police as part of an ongoing operation. 'It's hard to fathom how a person could record that reading at that time of the morning,' he said. 'Let alone with kids on board.' The 41-year-old was charged with drink-driving, being an unaccompanied learner driver and failing to display her learner plates. She will face Southport Magistrates Court next month.

Only 12 men have scored in every round of the FA Cup in its 143-year history. Bradford’s Jon Stead hopes he can join them — and he’ll be one step closer if he nets against Reading in their quarter-final on Saturday. Here are the fascinating stories behind the deadly dozen... Archie Hunter (Aston Villa, winners 1887) The Scot was one of the first footballing celebrities of the Victorian era. ‘Old Warhorse’ captained Villa to their first FA Cup with a 2-0 victory over West Brom at the Kennington Oval. Forced to retire in 1890 after a heart attack on the pitch, he later died of heart failure aged 35. Archie Hunter of Aston Villa was one of the first footballing celebrities of the Victorian era . Sandy Brown (Tottenham, winners 1901) Hailing from the same Ayrshire mining village as Bill Shankly, Brown was known as the ‘Glenbuck Goalgetter’. Spurs became the only non-League side to win the FA Cup thanks to his goals. During Brown’s Scotland debut against England, part of the terracing at Ibrox collapsed, killing 25 fans. Sandy Brown (circled), pictured with Tottenham's FA Cup winning team, was a fine goalscorer in the cup . Harry Hampton (Aston Villa, winners 1905) ‘The Whirlwind’ remains Villa’s all-time leading scorer in League football with 215 goals. He was a fearless forward and once scored having barged 22-stone goalkeeper William ‘Fatty’ Foulke over the line with the ball in his arms. He served at the Somme during World War One and survived a poisonous gas attack. Harry Hampton (circled) puts Aston Villa 1-0 up against Newcastle United in the FA Cup final in 1905 . Harold Blackmore (Bolton, winners 1929) Blackmore was a goalscoring sensation as a teenager playing for Silverton, a village team in Devon. He also worked at the local paper mill before signing for Exeter City and then moving to Bolton for £2,150, a princely sum in 1927. It looked as though his chance of scoring in every round had gone as Bolton led Portsmouth 1-0 at Wembley, but Blackmore netted at the death to seal his place in history. Harold Blackmore signed for Bolton for over 2,000 and scored in every round of the 1929 FA Cup . Ellis Rimmer (Sheffield Wednesday, winners 1935) The Scouser was a showman, attracting big crowds as a jazz pianist. Left winger Rimmer was the first non-striker to score in every round after his late brace in the 4-2 win over West Brom. The England man later ran the Hallamshire House pub in Sheffield before returning to Formby, where he died aged 58. Ellis Rimmer was a showman for Sheffield Wednesday, and was the first non-striker to score in every round . Frank O’Donnell (Preston, runners-up 1937) The Scot was one of 15 siblings and played in the final against Sunderland alongside brother Hugh, as well as Bill Shankly. O’Donnell became the first player to score in every round but end on the losing team. He died 15 years later in Macclesfield aged just 40 after a short illness. A tribute in Glasgow’s Evening Times described him as one of the finest players of his generation. Frank O'Donnell was in fine form for Preston in 1937, though his side lost the final . Stan Mortensen (Blackpool, runners-up 1948) Mortensen is better known for becoming in 1953 the only player to score a hat-trick in an FA Cup final. Five years earlier his side lost to Manchester United as he became the first post-war player to score in every round. A Blackpool legend, there is a statue of him outside Bloomfield Road. He died aged 69 in 1991, just nine days before Blackpool appeared at Wembley for the first time since the 1953 final. Stan Mortensen (second left, centre row) in a Blackpool team photo with Stanley Matthew to the left of him . Jackie Milburn (Newcastle, winners 1951) ‘Wor Jackie’ — cousin of Bobby and Jack Charlton — was Newcastle’s top scorer until Alan Shearer broke his record in 2006. He scored both goals in the 2-0 victory over Blackpool in the 1951 final, defended the Cup in 1952 and scored after 45 seconds in the 1955 final win. Milburn later reported on Newcastle for the News of the World and predicted a teenage Paul Gascoigne would become the best player in the world. Former club top goalscorer and Newcastle legend Jackie Milburn (right) in action against Arsenal . Nat Lofthouse (Bolton, runners-up 1953) Lofthouse completed his scoring feat in the ‘Matthews Final’ in which he gave Bolton the lead, only to end up losing 4-3. It was a final attended by Queen Elizabeth II. He did get his hands on the Cup after scoring in the 1958 final, when he barged Manchester United keeper Harry Gregg over the line, later admitting it was a foul. He is Bolton’s record scorer with 285 goals. There is a statue of him outside their stadium. Bolton captain Nat Lofthouse holds the 1958 FA Cup after their win over Man United at Wembley . Charlie Wayman (Preston, runners-up 1954) Wayman worked at Chilton Colliery in County Durham and served in the Royal Navy during World War Two. He was a team-mate of the great Tom Finney in the 1954 final as Preston were beaten 3-2 by West Brom and it was reported that his goal looked suspiciously offside. The pint-sized centre forward was a crowd-pleaser and it was a mystery how he never won England honours. Charlie Wayman (No 9) heads past the Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper in the 1954 FA Cup Semi-final . Jeff Astle (West Brom, winners 1968) Jeff Astle — ‘The King’ as he was known to West Brom fans —scored the only goal in the 1968 victory over Everton, while his strike in a League Cup final defeat by Manchester City two years later saw him become the first player to score in both domestic finals at Wembley. Astle died at 59 and the Justice for Jeff campaign has since been launched calling for an independent inquiry into a link between degenerative brain disease and heading footballs. Baggies fans still applaud during the ninth minute of every match in memory of their great No 9. Jeff Astle of West Brom (second right) jumps for the ball with Arsenal's John Radford and Ian Ure in 1968 . Peter Osgood (Chelsea, winners 1970) Another dubbed ‘The King’ by supporters, Osgood is the last player to score in every round. His goal forced extra-time in the replay versus Leeds, with David Webb netting the winner. Osgood is an icon at Stamford Bridge because of his flair and personality, both on and off the pitch. He died aged 59 following a heart attack at a family funeral. His ashes were buried beneath the penalty spot in front of the Shed End and a statue was later unveiled outside the stadium.

Nico Rosberg must reinvent himself in order to challenge Lewis Hamilton for this year's Formula One championship, according to Damon Hill. Rosberg lost out to Hamilton at last season's title decider in Abu Dhabi, with the Briton storming to the chequered flag as his Mercedes team-mate encountered technical gremlins. It marked Hamilton's 11th victory of the campaign, six more than Rosberg. The Mercedes pair are set to go toe-to-toe for this year's championship once more, with the Brackley-based outfit appearing to boast the strongest package ahead of Sunday's curtain raiser in Melbourne. Nico Rosberg needs a reinvention if he is to challenge Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton, says Damon Hill . Hamilton roared to championship victory in 2014 with 11 race victories to his rival team-mate's six . Hamilton (left) and Rosberg come together following their final race of a tumultuous season last year . Rosberg has a more subtle skill set than his formidable team-mate Hamilton, says Hill . And Hill, the 1996 world champion, believes Rosberg has to improve on his displays of last season to stand any chance of stopping Hamilton from claiming back-to-back titles. 'Nico has talents that are slightly more subtle and less obvious than Lewis, but I think he is going to have to invent a new Nico to counter his team-mate,' said Hill. 'If you look at the strike-rate of Lewis's wins in comparison to Nico, that was pretty formidable really. Does it change that much and can it change that much over the winter? 'It can, but politically now Nico had an opportunity last year to establish himself as the guy that the team wants to invest in, but Lewis really captured that with the biggest prize going.

<s>[INST] Nico Rosberg must reinvent himself in order to challenge Lewis Hamilton for this year's Formula One championship, according to Damon Hill. Rosberg lost out to Hamilton at last season's title decider in Abu Dhabi, with the Briton storming to the chequered flag as his Mercedes team-mate encountered technical gremlins. It marked Hamilton's 11th victory of the campaign, six more than Rosberg. The Mercedes pair are set to go toe-to-toe for this year's championship once more, with the Brackley-based outfit appearing to boast the strongest package ahead of Sunday's curtain raiser in Melbourne. Nico Rosberg needs a reinvention if he is to challenge Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton, says Damon Hill . Hamilton roared to championship victory in 2014 with 11 race victories to his rival team-mate's six . Hamilton (left) and Rosberg come together following their final race of a tumultuous season last year . Rosberg has a more subtle skill set than his formidable team-mate Hamilton, says Hill . And Hill, the 1996 world champion, believes Rosberg has to improve on his displays of last season to stand any chance of stopping Hamilton from claiming back-to-back titles. 'Nico has talents that are slightly more subtle and less obvious than Lewis, but I think he is going to have to invent a new Nico to counter his team-mate,' said Hill. 'If you look at the strike-rate of Lewis's wins in comparison to Nico, that was pretty formidable really. Does it change that much and can it change that much over the winter? 'It can, but politically now Nico had an opportunity last year to establish himself as the guy that the team wants to invest in, but Lewis really captured that with the biggest prize going. 'The championship was delivered by Lewis, so he is clearly someone, if Mercedes have to hedge one way or the other, then they will go for Lewis.'

Pictures have emerged of a smiling police commissioner posing with the two condemned Australian drug smugglers, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, on their plane before take off on the two hour flight to the executions on Indonesia's 'death island'. Djoko Hariutomo, the police chief of the Balinese capital of Denpasar placed his hand on Andrew Chan's shoulder and smiled for the camera, and then appeared in a second photograph with his hand on the shoulder of Sukumaran who was captured gazing up at the officer. The Bali Nine duo were then taken on a two hour flight to the port town of Cilacap and transferred to Nusakambangan island where they are expected to face a firing squad in an area known locally as 'Death Valley', a lush green clearing amid citrus orchards and banana palms. The spot is called Nirbaya, and it's located in a high spot amid the dense vegetation which runs along the spine of Nusakambangan, which is also known as 'Death Island', and it is the place where just under seven weeks ago the Indonesian Government executed five drug smugglers. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . A smiling Djoko Hariutomo, the police commissioner of the Balinese capital of Denpasar, poses for a photo with his hand upon the shoulder of condemned prisoner Andrew Chan inside the plane before take off for the Australian Bali Nine kingpin's final flight to the island where he will be executed . Surrounded by armed police officers officers and on the road of no return, 33-year-old Australia Myuran Sukumaran looks up at Bali police commissioner Djoko Hariutomo who posed with the two condemned Australians before their take off from Denpasar airport for the two hour flight to 'death island' The family of condemned Australian drug smuggler Andrew Chan, his mother Helen (centre) and brother Michael (wearing pink shorts) arrive at Yogyakarta airport on Thursday to make the five hour drive to Cilacap in central Java and take a boat to Nusakambangan island where Chan is waiting to be executed . Myuran Sukumaran's mother Raji (right) and sister Brintha (centre) on the tarmac at Yogyakarta, the closest main airport to the port town of Cilacap to which they will drive on Thursday afternoon to visit him in Batu prison on Nusakambangan island where the Bali Nine duo was transferred to under high security this week . Last place on earth: This is Nirbaya, also known as 'Death Valley', the place where Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran will likely be taken for their executions and located up a winding dirt track around 3km from the prison where they are being held in isolation cells . This is the spot to which the Indonesians took five foreign drug smugglers this year, tied them to three metre poles and executed them each with 12-member firing squads at around 12.40am local time  on Sunday, January 18 . It is not known how the prisoners destined for execution will be transported to Nirbaya valley, as it lies down a narrow dirt track (above) amid dense vegetation in the middle of Nusakambangan Island off southern central Java . This weather beaten hut in Nirbaya or Death Valley sits near the sport where foreign drug smugglers were executed in January and where the Australian Bali Nine duo may be taken soon and put to the firing squad . Final journey: The jungle and rainforest of Nuskambangan prison island looms over the Barracuda armoured personnel van carrying Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran as they arrive off the police boat on Wednesday following their final plane flight, from Bali to Cilacap in southern Java . And this place, up a winding dirt track just 3km from where Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran are being held in isolation cells, is likely to soon be their last place on earth. Situated quite high up amid hills in the island's centre, Nirbaya was also the place where the Bali bombers, Amrozi, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra were executed in 2008, six years after they carried out the nightclub bombings which killed 202 people, including 88 Australians, 38 Indonesians and 27 Britons. At the top of the hills surrounding Nirbaya, it is reportedly quite windy but offers a view of the Indian Ocean to the south. At around 12.40am on January 18 this year, five drug traffickers were reportedly shot by firing squads in or around this place. Shackled and handcuffed, Andrew Chan cut a sad figure as he was escorted by four faceless Indonesian police officers across the tarmac after being taken from Korobokan prison in Bali to their final destination, Death Island . Utter despair is etched on the face of condemned prisoner, Myuran Sukumaran, as he arrived at Cilacap airport in central Java, Indonesia, only 700km by plane but a world away from the comparative freedom of his art workshops inside Kerobokan prison on the island of Bali . This is the exterior of Batu prison on Nuskambangan island where special isolation cells away from non death row prisoners were prepared to hold Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran ahead of their scheduled execution by firing squad . Indonesia executed a total of six drug traffickers on January 18, but Vienamese woman Tran Thi Bich Hanh met her fate on the mainland of central java at a place called Boyolali. The five executed at Nirbaya on Nuskambangan were Brazilian Marco Archer Moreiea, 53, who smuggled 13kg of coaine in hangliding equipment to Bali in 2004, Dutch national Ang Kiem Soei, who ran an Ecstasy factory, Namaona Denis, 48, Indonesian woman, Rani Andriani, 38, and Nigerian Daniel Enemuo, 38, a Muslim who elected to be buried on the island. The lead up to execution in 'Death Valley' has been well documented. Under the implementation of death penalty procedures set in Indonesia's criminal act of 1964, the condemned prisoner is informed in their isolation cell at least 72 hours prior to the execution that it will be carried out. They are reportedly allowed three 'last requests' but these may only be in the form of final statements, such as that from Ms Andriani who wrote, 'Submission does not mean give up. Do the best, God will finish the rest'. Channel One Indonesia took a camera to Nirbaya (above) on Nusakambangan pirson island  prior to the first round of executions which took place in January and completed death sentences for one Indonesian woman and four men from Brazil, Nigeria, Malawi and the Netherlands . Port of no return: Sodong port (above) on Nusakambangan Island was the dropping off point on Wednesday for the Australian Bali Nine duo before being taken by road on to the prison where they are currently being held in isolation . Dressed in simple, white clothing, they are accompanied by a physician, clergy and an 'execution attorney' and taken to the clearing where a firing squad of 12 shooters is assembled  for each prisoner. In the case of Nirbaya, the journey will be up a steep winding dirt track through trees and undergrowth. At a clearing, three metre high execution poles have been erected at separate spots for each prisoner. When the prisoners arrive and the firing squad is ready, the condemned person is asked whether they choose to be blindfolded and whether they want to be standing, sitting or kneeling for their execution. A black cross is marked over their heart and they are given three minutes to 'calm down' before the execution takes place. Although a clergyman of the prisoner's choice is meant to be allowed to take their last rites, Brazilian Marco Archer was reportedly denied access to Cilacap's Catholic priest Charles Burrows and was so stressed in his last hours he said that he wanted to die sooner, but eventually had to be dragged bodily from his cell for transport to Nirbaya.

The likely place on the island for the Bali 9 duo's execution is called Nirbaya . It's also known as 'Death Valley' because it is found in the middle of a jungle clearing with the only sign of a weathered hut . The grassy area is fringed by citrus orchards and banana palms . It is only 3km from Batu prison, the island's most secure facility . The Australians' final journey will be up a steep, winding dirt track .

Environmentalists involved in Prince William's China tour warned British diplomats not to let him visit a park where elephants perform circus tricks two months ago, The Mail on Sunday has learnt. But the advice – given to officials at Britain's Chongqing consulate as the Prince's itinerary was drafted in January – was brushed aside, one of the ecologists said yesterday. The Prince's tour – on which he was accompanied by four press officers – ended in a PR disaster when he visited a rescue centre at Wild Elephant Valley, only a few yards from an arena where elephants play football, dance and do tricks for tourists. In the spotlight: Prince William surrounded by his support team in China during his royal tour . The degrading performances at Wild Elephant Valley that happen just yards from the rescue centre visited by Prince William . Last month The Mail on Sunday revealed the Prince would be visiting the park and informed the Palace of the cruel conditions, but Royal sources claimed Prince William wanted to visit regardless so he could 'shine a spotlight' on the issue. However when the Prince was at the park, and was asked by Sky TV if he knew elephants were performing nearby, he seemed wrong-footed, hurrying away in silence as journalist Mark Stone called after him: 'The Chinese are using elephants to play football, your Royal Highness.' Ecologist Alice Hughes, an associate professor based at Xishuangbanna Botanical Gardens, said: 'When the British consulate told us 'We might take Prince William to Wild Elephant Valley', we all said unanimously, 'Don't take him there. It's basically a circus.' We warned the British consulate off but I think some of them are very, very naïve.' She added: 'I don't believe our concerns were filtered through to any higher levels. If Prince William had known what was going on there, I don't think there is any possibility he would have gone. I think he must have been assured they really were doing conservation work.' Both Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office declined to say if the concerns had been passed on to the Prince. But yesterday one of his aides insisted: 'Prince William absolutely knew what was happening.' Another aide said: 'Our view is, this wasn't embarrassing. It was an essential thing for the Duke to do and one of the key reasons he went is to encourage conservation efforts and that comes in complex packaging.' Both Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office declined to say if the concerns had been passed on to the Prince, pictured during his visit . A Kensington Palace spokesman added: 'It goes without saying the Duke does not condone the performances, but he recognises the incredible work Wild Elephant Valley has done to protect the elephant population.' But Louise Rogerson, from the Elephant Asia Rescue and Survival Foundation, said: 'Tourists will flock to Wild Elephant Valley now. Prince William is indirectly supporting cruelty to elephants forced to take part in these circus performances.'

Ecologists warned British diplomats not to let Duke visit park months ago . Warned it was only yards from arena where elephants do tricks for tourists . MoS last month also warned palace of cruel conditions near rescue centre . Four press officers accompanied the Duke of Cambridge on China tour .

In the spotlight: Prince William surrounded by his support team in China during his royal tour . The degrading performances at Wild Elephant Valley that happen just yards from the rescue centre visited by Prince William . Last month The Mail on Sunday revealed the Prince would be visiting the park and informed the Palace of the cruel conditions, but Royal sources claimed Prince William wanted to visit regardless so he could 'shine a spotlight' on the issue. However when the Prince was at the park, and was asked by Sky TV if he knew elephants were performing nearby, he seemed wrong-footed, hurrying away in silence as journalist Mark Stone called after him: 'The Chinese are using elephants to play football, your Royal Highness.' Ecologist Alice Hughes, an associate professor based at Xishuangbanna Botanical Gardens, said: 'When the British consulate told us 'We might take Prince William to Wild Elephant Valley', we all said unanimously, 'Don't take him there. It's basically a circus.' We warned the British consulate off but I think some of them are very, very naïve.' She added: 'I don't believe our concerns were filtered through to any higher levels. If Prince William had known what was going on there, I don't think there is any possibility he would have gone. I think he must have been assured they really were doing conservation work.' Both Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office declined to say if the concerns had been passed on to the Prince. But yesterday one of his aides insisted: 'Prince William absolutely knew what was happening.' Another aide said: 'Our view is, this wasn't embarrassing. It was an essential thing for the Duke to do and one of the key reasons he went is to encourage conservation efforts and that comes in complex packaging.' Both Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office declined to say if the concerns had been passed on to the Prince, pictured during his visit . A Kensington Palace spokesman added: 'It goes without saying the Duke does not condone the performances, but he recognises the incredible work Wild Elephant Valley has done to protect the elephant population.' But Louise Rogerson, from the Elephant Asia Rescue and Survival Foundation, said: 'Tourists will flock to Wild Elephant Valley now. Prince William is indirectly supporting cruelty to elephants forced to take part in these circus performances.' [/INST] Ecologists warned British diplomats not to let Duke visit park months ago . Warned it was only yards from arena where elephants do tricks for tourists . MoS last month also warned palace of cruel conditions near rescue centre .

Kelly Emery, 34, was convicted of the manslaughter of son Fenton Hogan, two, at Nottingham Crown Court after they found she had deliberately fed him methadone to make him sleep . A drug addicted mother who fed her toddler son a heroin substitute to 'knock him out' so she could smoke crack has been jailed for six years. Kelly Emery, 34, was convicted of the manslaughter of son Fenton Hogan, two, at Nottingham Crown Court after a jury heard she had deliberately given her son methadone to make him sleep. The mother refused to give evidence at her trial insisting that she had never given her child the drug, despite being negligent in leaving bottles of it 'lying around' her house. The Crown alleged that Emery gave the heroin substitute to Fenton to 'knock him out' so she could smoke crack cocaine. Fenton, who had no obvious injuries, was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital from the family's former home. Emery, formerly of Frankley, Birmingham, was given a concurrent 12-month prison sentence after admitting gross neglect of Fenton by allowing him access to methadone. But the seven woman, five man jury cleared her of giving the toddler methadone on two other occasions before his death in July 2013. In a statement issued after the case, Detective Inspector Bob Sutton, who led a West Midlands Police investigation into the death, said: 'Any child death is a tragedy. 'Fenton Hogan should have had the rest of his live to look forward to. 'Instead his short life was taken by the actions of his mother, who should have been there to safeguard and protect him.' The officer said of Emery: 'Her daily routine revolved around the consumption of drugs. This was to the detriment of those she had direct care for. 'Fenton's extended family agrees that no sentence is sufficient or will help to heal what happened to Fenton. The impact of Kelly's actions will remain with all of the family forever.' Blood samples taken from the child showed he had as much of the drug on his system as an adult on methadone maintenance therapy. And hair samples showed that, in the months before his death, he had ingested the drug on at least two other occasions. Blood samples taken from the child showed he had as much of the drug on his system as an adult on methadone maintenance therapy . Hair samples showed that, in the months before his death, he had ingested the drug on at least two other occasions. Emery was cleared of giving him the drug on other occasions . The court heard she gave Fenton methadone knowing it 'would knock him out and enable her to do what she wanted without the interference from a fractious child that was difficult to put to sleep' When he opened the case, prosecutor Christopher Hotten QC told the jury: 'That Sunday evening, she had crack and she wanted to smoke it. 'We say she gave Fenton methadone knowing, to put colloquially, it would knock him out and enable her to do what she wanted without the interference from a fractious child that was difficult to put to sleep.' Emery, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of causing death by gross negligence and a charge of child neglect, wept in the dock as she was jailed for six years. Mr Justice Robin Knowles told her she had not faced a murder charge because she had no intention of killing her son. The judge told her; 'Fenton died because you actively administered about 10mg of methadone to him. Emery, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of causing death by gross negligence and a charge of child neglect, wept in the dock as she was jailed for six years for the manslaughter of her son . 'That is about half the amount you, as an adult, were taking for you addiction, at that point, to heroin. 'You did this to get him to sleep so that you could focus on what you saw as your need to take drugs.' Emery was sentence to six years for manslaughter and 12 month concurrent for a charge of child neglect which she pleaded guilty to. The jury, by their verdicts, the judge said, found Fenton had consumed methadone in the past from bottle left lying around by Emery. However it was only on one occasion, on June 30 2013, she actively gave him the drug. Emery was sentence to six years for manslaughter and 12 month concurrent for a charge of child neglect which she pleaded guilty to . The judge went on; 'I accept the death of Fenton is crushing in itself. 'I accept there is genuine remorse. This case is a tragic one. 'The offending was so unnecessary yet so culpable, the consequences so grave. 'The offence is so serious that a prison sentence is necessary.' Before she was taken down, the judge said finally to Emery; 'Your options include dedicating yourself now to your own recovery in honour of the memory of Fenton and in respect of the life your daughter has to live. 'It is not too late to give in memory of Fenton and towards the life of your daughter the gift of a mother who does not take drugs. 'Few things are irreparable over time.'

With the expansion of the European Championships from 16 to 24 teams for 2016, there has never been a better opportunity for all four of the Home Nations to qualify for a big tournament. And after the fifth round of qualifiers this weekend, all have a strong chance of making it to France next summer. At the half-way point in the qualification campaign, we look at the story so far and assess the chances of each making it. WALES . The story so far . Wales have enjoyed an excellent start to their campaign, with three wins and two draws putting them top of Group B. The reformatting of the competition means that the top two from each group advance automatically to France 2016, while the third-placed side enter the play-offs. Gareth Bale celebrates after scoring a late free-kick in Wales' 2-1 win over Andorra . Wales started sluggishly, requiring a late Gareth Bale free-kick to spare them from embarrassment against minnows Andorra, before earning a credible goalless draw at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina, who played at the World Cup in Brazil. Goals from David Cotterill and Hal Robson-Kanu saw off Cyprus before a 0-0 draw away to Belgium, on paper the strongest team in the group. On Saturday, they went top following a 3-0 win against 10-man Israel. Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey put them ahead on the stroke of half-time before the sending off, and two Bale strikes made absolutely sure after the break. Results: Andorra 1 Wales 2; Wales 0 Bosnia 0; Wales 2 Cyprus 1; Belgium 0 Wales 0; Israel 0 Wales 3 . Aaron Ramsey celebrates his opening goal in the 3-0 win over Israel at the weekend . Wales are currently two points ahead of Israel in Group B though they have played one game more . When did they last reach a major tournament? You have to go all the way back to 1958, when Wales reached the World Cup in Sweden, to find their one and only finals appearance. They came close to reaching Euro 2004, but lost to Russia in a play-off. What's still to come? Much now rests on their match with Belgium, who are currently third, in Cardiff on June 12. If Chris Coleman's team can get something from that, they will be in a very strong position. September sees a visit to Cyprus and a home return with Israel, before the campaign concludes with a tricky trip to Bosnia and a final home game with Andorra. From here, there really is little excuse not to make it but Wales have come close before, only to agonisingly miss out. Fixtures: June 12 - Wales vs Belgium; September 3 - Cyprus vs Wales; September 6 - Wales vs Israel; October 10 - Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Wales; October 13 - Wales vs Andorra . Bale was on target twice in Haifa as Wales lifted themselves top of qualifying Group B . SCOTLAND . The story so far . It was a case of hardest match first for the Scots, who mounted some stiff resistance away to World champions Germany and even drew level through Ikechi Anya before succumbing 2-1. A nervy 1-0 win over Georgia at Hampden Park followed before a fine performance earned a 2-2 draw in Poland. Scotland actually led in Warsaw after goals from Shaun Maloney and Steven Naismith but were pegged back. But two wins from two home games - 1-0 against the Republic of Ireland and 6-1 against Gibraltar on Sunday - have left Gordon Strachan's side third, good enough for a play-off spot as it stands but just a point off the lead. Results: Germany 2 Scotland 1; Scotland 1 Georgia 0; Poland 2 Scotland 2; Scotland 1 Republic of Ireland 0; Scotland 6 Gibraltar 1 . Ikechi Anya celebrates his goal to pull the Scots level in their opening match with Germany in Dortmund . Shaun Maloney fired home the winning goal at Celtic Park as the Republic of Ireland were beaten 1-0 . Scotland are currently third in Group D - enough to secure a place in the play-offs as it stands . When did they last reach a major tournament? In 1998, Scotland reached the World Cup finals in France so a return there is very much on the cards. They have twice made the European Championship finals previously, in 1992 and 1996. What's still to come? The next match, away to the Republic of Ireland in Dublin is absolutely key. If they win, they will establish a five-point gap over them. If they lose, Ireland will leapfrog them. Scotland have an advantage in that their remaining games against the strongest sides, Germany and Poland, come at home. They must take maximum points from their away trips to Georgia and Gibraltar. But in the most competitive group of the lot, they have every chance of making it. Fixtures: June 13 - Republic of Ireland vs Scotland; September 4 - Georgia vs Scotland; September 7 - Scotland vs Germany; October 8 - Scotland vs Poland; October 11 - Gibraltar vs Scotland . Steven Fletcher scored a hat-trick in Scotland's 6-1 rout of Gibraltar at Hampden Park on Sunday . NORTHERN IRELAND . The story so far . It's been an excellent campaign for Northern Ireland so far, with four wins out of five putting them second to Romania in Group F. Michael O'Neill's side have exceeded all expectations, starting off with a 2-1 win over Hungary in Budapest thanks to late goals from Niall McGinn and Kyle Lafferty. Goals from Gareth McAuley and Lafferty saw off the Faroe Islands at home, before Jamie Ward and Lafferty secured a 2-0 win in Greece three days later. Their only blip came in a 2-0 loss to Romania, but more Lafferty goals on Sunday against Finland saw them return to form. Results: Hungary 1 Northern Ireland 2; Northern Ireland 2 Faroe Islands 0; Greece 0 Northern Ireland 2; Romania 2 Northern Ireland 0; Northern Ireland 2 Finland 0 . Kyle Lafferty celebrates after scoring in Northern Ireland's 2-1 win over Hungary in Budapest . Gareth McAuley scores the first goal in Northern Ireland's 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands in October . Northern Ireland are just one point behind leaders Romania in Group F at the mid-way point . When did they last reach a major tournament? Northern Ireland have never made a European Championship and the last of their three World Cups was back in 1986. What's still to come? The top two in the group, Northern Ireland and Romania meet next at Windsor Park. In September, it's the Faroe Islands away and Hungary at home. The campaign concludes with Greece in Belfast and a tip to play Finland in Helsinki. Encouragingly for Northern Ireland, there is a gap of eight points between themselves and Finland in fourth, so there really is little excuse not to make it into the top three from here. Fixtures: June 13 - Northern Ireland vs Romania; September 4 - Faroe Islands vs Northern Ireland; September 7 - Northern Ireland vs Hungary; October 8 - Northern Ireland vs Greece; October 11 - Finland vs Northern Ireland . Lafferty scored twice as Northern Ireland beat Finland 2-1 at Windsor Park on Sunday . ENGLAND . The story so far . A perfect five from five for Roy Hodgson's men, who are making qualification look like a breeze. They have a six-point lead over Slovenia in second and it would take a real calamity not to make it through from here. Two Danny Welbeck goals saw them to victory in Switzerland back in September and that was followed by a predictable crushing of San Marino. Wayne Rooney curled home a free-kick winner in a tough game in Estonia, before Slovenia were beaten 3-1 at Wembley, with Rooney and Welbeck (2) finding the net. Friday night's 4-0 win over Lithuania made this England's best start to a season ever, courtesy of goals from Rooney, Welbeck, Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane. Results: Switzerland 0 England 2; England 5 San Marino 0; Estonia 0 England 1; England 3 Slovenia 1; England 4 Lithuania 0 . Danny Welbeck's two goals against Switzerland in Basle got England off to the perfect start . Danny Welbeck is the leading goalscorer in Euro 2016 qualifying with six in five games . England have made a perfect start to Group E, with five wins out of five . When did they last reach a major tournament? Regular qualifiers for both the World Cup and European Championships but normally falling well short of expectations. What's still to come? A victory away to Slovenia in Ljubljana in June should just about secure England's place in the finals and, failing that, away trips to minnows San Marino and Lithuania, plus home meetings with Switzerland and Estonia should do it. Hodgson's men should really be aiming for a perfect record of 10 wins from 10. Fixtures: June 14 - Slovenia vs England; September 5 - San Marino vs England; September 8 - England vs Switzerland; October 9 - England vs Estonia; October 12 - Lithuania vs England . Debutant Harry Kane celebrates his maiden England goal in Friday's 4-0 win over Lithuania .

We've reached the mid-way point of qualifying for Euro 2016 in France . England made it five wins from five with 4-0 win over Lithuania on Friday . Wales boosted their chances with a 3-0 win away to Israel . Scotland thrashed Gibraltar and remain behind Germany and Poland . Northern Ireland have claimed four wins from five so far .

A perfect five from five for Roy Hodgson's men, who are making qualification look like a breeze. They have a six-point lead over Slovenia in second and it would take a real calamity not to make it through from here. Two Danny Welbeck goals saw them to victory in Switzerland back in September and that was followed by a predictable crushing of San Marino. Wayne Rooney curled home a free-kick winner in a tough game in Estonia, before Slovenia were beaten 3-1 at Wembley, with Rooney and Welbeck (2) finding the net. Friday night's 4-0 win over Lithuania made this England's best start to a season ever, courtesy of goals from Rooney, Welbeck, Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane.

Danny Welbeck's two goals against Switzerland in Basle got England off to the perfect start . Danny Welbeck is the leading goalscorer in Euro 2016 qualifying with six in five games . England have made a perfect start to Group E, with five wins out of five . When did they last reach a major tournament? Regular qualifiers for both the World Cup and European Championships but normally falling well short of expectations. What's still to come? A victory away to Slovenia in Ljubljana in June should just about secure England's place in the finals and, failing that, away trips to minnows San Marino and Lithuania, plus home meetings with Switzerland and Estonia should do it. Hodgson's men should really be aiming for a perfect record of 10 wins from 10.

Sierra Leone's top sprinter who went missing after Glasgow's Commonwealth Games last summer, is now applying for asylum in the UK after he was found sleeping rough on the streets of London. Jimmy Thoronka, 20, disappeared at the end of the Games and failed to return to the Ebola-hit west African country. Already orphaned by the war in Sierra Leone, he claims that his entire adopted family have been wiped out by the disease while he has been in the UK. Thoronka, who said that he wanted to claim asylum in the UK so he could fulfill his dream of becoming a top athlete, now faces deportation. An online petition appealing to the authorities to let Mr Thoronka remain in the UK has so far attracted more than 57,000 signatures and well wishers have donated more than £24,000 to help the young athlete. Jimmy Thoronka carrying the Commonwealth baton in Sierra Leone. He has been arrested for overstaying his visa and claims all his immediate family are dead from Ebola so he cannot return home . An online petition appealing to the authorities to let Mr Thoronka remain in the UK has so far attracted more than 57,000 signatures and well wishers have donated more than £24,000 to help the young athlete . Among the high profile names to support his plight are supermodel Lily Cole, and comedian Russell Brand. The Guardian said it had interviewed Thoronka before he was detained for overstaying his visa. He claimed there were no flights to Sierra Leone immediately after the Games and his team-mates all scattered, some staying with relatives and friends until they could return home. But he said his own bag -  containing his money and passport  - were stolen. His visa expired last September and after a brief stint with friends, he has been sleeping on the streets in parks and on buses ever since. He today told the BBC's Sarah Montague that he wanted to claim asylum in the UK so he could fulfill his dream of becoming a top athlete.  Asylum is only granted to those who are in fear of persecution in their home country. He said of Sierra Leone: 'Nobody persecute me or anything, my problem is I don't have a family there to stay with. The person who would help me has passed by Ebola. If I go back i will not make it and I will kill myself, because i cannot pursue my dream. I want to be the fastest sprinter in the world.' When Thoronka, the country's number one 100m sprinter, left Sierra Leone for Glasgow, some Ebola cases had been confirmed in a few of the villages surrounding Freetown, but the epidemic had not yet taken hold of the capital. The death toll in the country is now more than 3,500 cases. The runner said: 'I was hoping to win a medal for my country. But during the Games I got the terrible news that my uncle had died, probably from Ebola. 'I couldn't stop crying. It was difficult to continue with competing but I tried to carry on.' He is not working illegally, nor claiming benefits or housing, and understands the legal implications of remaining in the UK after his visa has expired, but said his situation is hopeless. After the Games, he stayed for a while with friends in Leicester - and found out that his entire immediate family had been killed by Ebola. Later he went to London and began sleeping in parks and on night buses and begging for £1 from passers-by to buy chips. 'Some days I get no food at all. I wash in public toilets and sleep in the park,' he said. 'I wake up around 4am and if I've got a bus pass I get on the night bus and sleep there until morning. 'I met a man who sometimes lets me sleep at his house but I have to wait outside for him to come home at 10 or 11pm and I get very cold. 'We have a cold season in Sierra Leone but it is not cold like England. Some days I don't think I'm going to make it and just feel like killing myself. 'My dream is to become one of the best sprinters in the world but I don't see how that can happen now.' Hampden Park in Glasgow was the venue for the track and field events during the Commonwealth Games . He was arrested on Friday and quizzed by officers over whether he was carrying or using drugs, which he denied. He has since applied for asylum and has been released into Home Office accommodation. The newspaper said hundreds of people have since been in touch to offer support, and a petition has been set up on change.org to support him. It calls for the Government to 'let Jimmy stay here on compassionate grounds, so that he can find a sponsor to help him to continue his athletics career' and has received almost 58,000 signatures. It says: 'With our support, and the opportunities we have in the UK, Jimmy can have a new start and realise his huge potential as a sprinting star.' A Home Office spokeswoman said: 'We cannot comment on individual cases, but there is assistance available for people to return home when they are not entitled to remain in the UK.'

Christine Hà, an American chef, writer and blogger from Houston, Texas, has released an inspiring video tutorial showing how she applies her make-up with a tried-and-tested formula. Christine Hà, who lost her sight in 2007, has released an inspiring video tutorial showing how she applies her make-up without a mirror . Christine, 35, who has a video series on YouTube called 'Blind Life of Christine Ha', explains that she decided to release a beauty tutorial after a lot of people asked her how a visually impaired person does their own make-up. The chef, who was the first blind contestant of MasterChef and won the show in 2012, said: 'I remember back when I was filming Masterchef we had to do our own hair and make-up. 'I would sit and put on my own make-up and a lot of my friends on the show would watch me in awe because I don't use a mirror.'

Christine, who suffers from neuromyelitis optica, whereby her immune system attacked the optic nerves and spinal cord, explains that she will demonstrate her daily wear make-up. 'The first thing is foundation,' she begins. 'Now I am in my 30s, I've been told we have to worry more about redness on our skin so I have started wearing it. Brush it all on, which helps it blend really well so I don't have to worry too much about streaks. 'As you can see, I am covering the area around my nose where I get the most redness, or so I've been told.' She then takes a pair of eyelash curlers and says: 'A lot of people think this is scary because I can't see, but I can feel the eyelash curler so I know that I have it pressed up against my eyelid.' She admits that applying mascara is 'very tricky', but, she says, once you know how long the wand is, you know where to put your hand . While she waits for her mascara to dry, she puts on her blush across the apple of her cheeks . She then takes her mascara, which she says is 'very tricky', but, she says, once you know how long the wand is, you know where to put your hand. She explains: 'You approach you lashes very gently and once you feel the brush on your lashes, you know to start stroking it on. I do two layers on both eyes.' While she waits for her mascara to dry, she puts on her blush. 'I do about five swirls across my face and always tap before I put it on to get rid of excess,' she says. Next, she applies lip liner, which she says she also does by feel. Lastly, she applies eyeliner. She finally applies lipliner and lipstick, which she says she does by feel . She says: 'Some people may think it's backwards to do your eyeliner last but I want to make sure my mascara is dry because I can't see if it smudges. 'This can be tricky so I anchor my hands against my face so I can have more control of the pencil. I look up and start in the outer corner and draw in a few gentle line strokes. 'I don't like to go all the way into my inner corner because this helps make your eyes look a little bigger.' As well as documenting her daily life, Christine is an accomplished chef with a popular food blog. On her site, she says: 'I have to depend a lot more on the other senses to cook - taste, smell, how certain ingredients feel', adding that cooking without sight just involves 'a lot of organisation'.

(CNN)The father of a Los Angeles police officer wanted for murder has been charged with making a false statement to an FBI agent, the FBI said Thursday in a press release. Victor Manuel Solis, 53, was arrested in Lancaster, California, in connection with the ongoing search for Henry Solis, a rookie officer with the L.A. police who is believed to have entered Mexico from El Paso, Texas, the FBI said. An FBI complaint said a video recording at the border crossing showed father and son entering Mexico together at 5:40 a.m. March 14, even though the elder Solis told an agent he dropped his son at an El Paso bus station and didn't know where he went. Victor Solis "knowingly and willingly lied during the interview in order to thwart law enforcement investigative efforts," the complaint said. Henry Solis is accused of killing Salome Rodriguez Jr. early in the morning of March 13 in Pomona, California. Items left by Solis at the crime scene allowed Pomona police detectives to identify him "as the individual responsible for killing Rodriguez," according to an FBI affidavit. Victor Solis told the FBI on March 16 that his son called on March 13, said he wanted to spend some vacation time in El Paso, and rode with his father to that Texas city, the complaint said. Victor Solis said that after dropping off his son at the bus station, he later crossed into Mexico alone, the complaint said. The FBI said Victor Solis will be taken to El Paso for prosecution. Henry Solis' whereabouts are not known..

The United States has delivered 10 armoured but unarmed Humvees as part of its $75 million non-lethal military aid deal to Ukraine. Over the next month, a total of 230 of the vehicles is due to arrive in the troubled region to help Ukrainian forces prepare against further attacks from Russian-backed separatists in the east of the country. The U.S. has already sent Ukrainian forces high-tech night-vision goggles, surveillance drones and secure communications systems as part of their commitment. Scroll down for video . The first of 230 armoured Humvees from the United States  is unloaded from a C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft . The heavily armoured vehicles form part of $75-million worth of non-lethal military aid to Ukraine from the US . The Humvees, pictured, are unarmed, but heavy machine guns can easily be fitted to the roof turrets . Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said: 'I have just personally seen - having been behind the wheel of the Humvee - that it is an extremely effective, extremely powerful, extremely good military vehicle which Ukrainian air forces, Ukrainian special divisions, the Ukrainian army are waiting for today.' He told Ukraine Today: 'And I as the president of Ukraine, as commander-in-chief, on behalf of the Ukrainian people, would like to thank to the United States of America for its comprehensive and firm position regarding the resolution of the conflict in the Donbass, for recognising Russia as an aggressor which annexed Crimea and which launched direct military aggression in particular areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.' So far, President Barack Obama has decided against equipping Ukraine with offensive military equipment, although the armoured Humvee vehicles donated to Ukraine have turrets which can be easily fitted with heavy machine guns. Fighting in the region has abated although there are some skirmishes still being reported. Although, President Obama has deployed A-10 Thunderbolt ground attack aircraft to Powidz airbase in western Poland. The four tank-killing aircraft are involved in a number of training missions until the weekend. Meanwhile, EU leaders will hold a summit with President Poroshenko in Kiev about the status of the Minsk ceasefire agreement. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, pictured, thanked the United States for the delivery . President Poroshenko said the Humvees were 'very powerful and extremely good military vehicles' President Poreshenko met with the flight crew, pictured,  and representatives of the US Embassy in Kiev . Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebiynis said: 'We expect that the EU-Ukraine summit will take place on April 27.' European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council President Donald Tusk are expected to attend, as well as EU heads of state and government who wish to go, EU officials added. Trade issues will likely also be on the agenda, the officials said. The summit will be a chance for Poroshenko, who attended an EU summit in Brussels in February, to brief leaders on whether the Ukraine ceasefire deal is fully working and to shape the EU's decision on whether to extend or lift sanctions on Russia. EU leaders agreed last week that economic sanctions imposed on Russia will stay in place until a Ukraine peace deal is fully implemented, effectively extending them to the end of the year if need be. But they will still have to take a formal decision later on whether to extend economic sanctions on Russia expiring in July. Russia has always denied assertions by Ukraine, backed by the United States and the European Union, that it has been sending arms and troops across the border to support the pro-Moscow separatists. EU leaders will meet President Poroshenko, pictured, in a summit in Kiev next month to discuss the crisis . Despite the reduction in violence, innocent civilians are still being killed and injured as a result of the conflict. Three people were killed and six were injured after the bus they were travelling in struck a landmine in eastern Ukraine. The bus had been in the process of crossing from government to rebel-held territory. A local police official, Ilya Kyva, said the bus had been carrying about 20 passengers from Artemivsk, a government-held town north of the region's main city of Donetsk, to Horlivka, which is held by the separatists, about 22 miles away. The bus struck the land mine as it apparently tried to negotiate around a road block manned by government forces, Interfax quoted Kyva as saying. Kyva said the six injured people were 'in a serious condition'. So far, more than 6,000 people have died in the conflict which erupted last April.

<s>[INST] The United States has delivered 10 armoured but unarmed Humvees as part of its $75 million non-lethal military aid deal to Ukraine. Over the next month, a total of 230 of the vehicles is due to arrive in the troubled region to help Ukrainian forces prepare against further attacks from Russian-backed separatists in the east of the country. The U.S. has already sent Ukrainian forces high-tech night-vision goggles, surveillance drones and secure communications systems as part of their commitment. Scroll down for video . The first of 230 armoured Humvees from the United States  is unloaded from a C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft . The heavily armoured vehicles form part of $75-million worth of non-lethal military aid to Ukraine from the US . The Humvees, pictured, are unarmed, but heavy machine guns can easily be fitted to the roof turrets . Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said: 'I have just personally seen - having been behind the wheel of the Humvee - that it is an extremely effective, extremely powerful, extremely good military vehicle which Ukrainian air forces, Ukrainian special divisions, the Ukrainian army are waiting for today.' He told Ukraine Today: 'And I as the president of Ukraine, as commander-in-chief, on behalf of the Ukrainian people, would like to thank to the United States of America for its comprehensive and firm position regarding the resolution of the conflict in the Donbass, for recognising Russia as an aggressor which annexed Crimea and which launched direct military aggression in particular areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.' So far, President Barack Obama has decided against equipping Ukraine with offensive military equipment, although the armoured Humvee vehicles donated to Ukraine have turrets which can be easily fitted with heavy machine guns. Fighting in the region has abated although there are some skirmishes still being reported. Although, President Obama has deployed A-10 Thunderbolt ground attack aircraft to Powidz airbase in western Poland. The four tank-killing aircraft are involved in a number of training missions until the weekend. Meanwhile, EU leaders will hold a summit with President Poroshenko in Kiev about the status of the Minsk ceasefire agreement. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, pictured, thanked the United States for the delivery . President Poroshenko said the Humvees were 'very powerful and extremely good military vehicles' President Poreshenko met with the flight crew, pictured,  and representatives of the US Embassy in Kiev . Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebiynis said: 'We expect that the EU-Ukraine summit will take place on April 27.' European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council President Donald Tusk are expected to attend, as well as EU heads of state and government who wish to go, EU officials added. Trade issues will likely also be on the agenda, the officials said. The summit will be a chance for Poroshenko, who attended an EU summit in Brussels in February, to brief leaders on whether the Ukraine ceasefire deal is fully working and to shape the EU's decision on whether to extend or lift sanctions on Russia. EU leaders agreed last week that economic sanctions imposed on Russia will stay in place until a Ukraine peace deal is fully implemented, effectively extending them to the end of the year if need be. But they will still have to take a formal decision later on whether to extend economic sanctions on Russia expiring in July. Russia has always denied assertions by Ukraine, backed by the United States and the European Union, that it has been sending arms and troops across the border to support the pro-Moscow separatists. EU leaders will meet President Poroshenko, pictured, in a summit in Kiev next month to discuss the crisis . Despite the reduction in violence, innocent civilians are still being killed and injured as a result of the conflict. Three people were killed and six were injured after the bus they were travelling in struck a landmine in eastern Ukraine. The bus had been in the process of crossing from government to rebel-held territory. A local police official, Ilya Kyva, said the bus had been carrying about 20 passengers from Artemivsk, a government-held town north of the region's main city of Donetsk, to Horlivka, which is held by the separatists, about 22 miles away. The bus struck the land mine as it apparently tried to negotiate around a road block manned by government forces, Interfax quoted Kyva as saying. Kyva said the six injured people were 'in a serious condition'. So far, more than 6,000 people have died in the conflict which erupted last April.

The eerie remains of a Japanese warship that lay undiscovered on the ocean floor for more than 70 years have been captured on film. Musashi was attacked by the US Navy in 1944 and went down with more than 1,000 members of crew on board. Despite numerous witness accounts its exact location remained a mystery for decades. But the ship was discovered earlier this month after Microsoft's billionaire co-founder Paul Allen spent eight years searching for it with his personal submarine. Scroll down for video . The remains of a Japanese warship that sunk more than 70 years ago have been captured on film for the first time . Allen has now released footage showing the huge warship, which was the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleship ever constructed, on the floor of the Sibuyan Sea - nearly two miles under the surface. He is hoping the discovery 'brings closure' to those who lost relatives aboard the ship, according to his website. His yacht, the M/Y Octopus, has a remote operated probe Octo ROV that initially located the Musashi at the beginning of March. The Octopus is also outfitted with an exploration submarine. Allen and his research team used the historical records of four different countries in order to pinpoint the location of the ship. Musashi was attacked by the US Navy in 1944 and went down with more than 1,000 members of crew on board. Despite witness accounts it was never found or disturbed . The amazing footage shows coral and barnacles growing on the huge warship, which was the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleship ever constructed . The inside of the ship can only be glimpsed at throughout the video. Above, the camera looks through a hole . After discovering it Allen posted a photo of a valve from the wreckage, which he described as the 'first confirmation' that it was of Japanese origin. He wrote in a tweet: 'RIP (rest in peace) crew of Musashi, approximately 1,023 (lives) lost.' He promised that he would soon post video of the ship's catapult and valve areas. The Sibuyan Sea - at the heart of the Philippines' central Visayas islands - now covers busy shipping lanes and lies on the path of most tropical storms that cross the country from the Pacific Ocean. But in 1944, it was the scene for a battle considered the largest naval encounter of the Second World War - a battle which would be the Musashi's last. Paul Allen, one of Microsoft's co-founders, was able to find the ship using his private yacht and sub the M/Y Octopus. Above, one of the ship's 15 tonne anchors . The Musashi was the Japanese Navy's biggest battleship during the Second World War . The battleship, which weighed 73,000 tonnes fully loaded, and was armed with nine 45 Caliber Type 94 main guns, was sunk by American warplanes on October 24, 1944. It was the height of the Battle of Leyte Gulf - in which US and Australian forces defeated the Japanese. About half the crew died when it went down. Sister ship the Yamato was damaged in the fighting, according to the US Navy, and American warships finally sank it a year later as it attempted to reach Okinawa. Mr Allen took to Twitter to reveal he had found the wreck of the Musashi, sunk in 1944 . American warplanes sank the Musashi on October 24, 1944, at the height of the Battle of Leyte Gulf . An enormous 'float plane' lies on the sand of the ocean floor covered in coral and other animals . Submerged: Allen and his team believe this to be an inverted type 89, 12.7 centimeter gun turret . The battle was considered the largest naval encounter of World War II. Pictured: The Musashi being attack . The Musashi was sunk on the second day of fighting between the two sides. The graphic shows its movements in the days before it was attacked . For Seattle-born Allen, 62, who founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975, the discovery of the Musashi is a thrilling moment. 'Since my youth, I have been fascinated with World War II history, inspired by my father’s service in the U.S. Army,' Allen said. 'The Musashi is truly an engineering marvel and, as an engineer at heart, I have a deep appreciation for the technology and effort that went into its construction. 'I am honoured to play a part in finding this key vessel in naval history and honouring the memory of the incredible bravery of the men who served aboard her.' Allen, the 51st richest person in the world with a net worth of $17.5billion, according to Forbes Magazine, is known for his love of history - and also his generosity with the Octopus to help other exploration missions. Luxury: The remote operated probe of the Octupus (pictured) located the Musashi on Monday . Submarine: Director James Cameron has also used Allen's submarine, to dive to the depths of the ocean . Parties: Allen's yacht is not just for exploring, however, it is also luxurious enough to entertain his friends - pictured here leaving the boat for the Olympic opening ceremony . In 2012, Allen loaned the same ship that located the Musashi to the British government to locate HMS Hood bell from the bottom of the Denmark Strait. The search was eventually called off due to bad weather. The Octopus has also collaborated on Google Earth’s 'Explore the Ocean' feature, and has helped the Discovery Science Channel capture footage for a documentary to study the effects of nuclear detonation on the marine environment. Director James Cameron has also used it, for a seven-hour solo journey to the earth's deepest point back in 2012. But Allen is not confined to undersea exploration, either. Glamour: The Octopus also hosted parties in Cannes. Allen pictured here with George Lucas in 2005 . The American is also working on a project called Stratolaunch, which aims to put 'cost-effective' cargo and manned missions into space. He launched SpaceShipOne, the first privately built craft into suborbital space in 2004. Spokespersons for the Philippines' navy and coast guard told AFP they were not informed of the discovery. For four days in October 1944, the seas around the island of Leyte bore witness to what some believe is the biggest battle in naval history. The Battle of Leyte Gulf, formerly known as the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea, began on October 23, pitting the combined force of the U.S. and Australian forces against the Imperial Japanese Navy. Three days earlier, the Americans had launched an attack on Leyte; the Japanese responded with Sho-Go - an operation designed to lure U.S. forces away from the San Bernardino Strait. But the Japanese navy was attacked by U.S. submarines as it moved into position on October 23 - the first of four major encounters over the battle. The Musashi survived this first encounter, but the next day, as it passed through the Sibuyan Sea, came under bombardment from the U.S. warplanes. It was first hit at 10.30am, and then again in a second wave. However, the ship did not finally disappear under the waves until 7.30pm that evening. It had been struck by at least 17 bombs and 19 torpedoes during the battle. By October 26 - the end of the battle - the Japanese lost 26 battleships, but only sank six of the U.S.'s ships. The Japanese had also suffered huge numbers of casualties: more than 10,000 men are believed to have died. The Allied Forces, on the other hand, lost around 1,500.

The house where Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza began his murderous gun rampage has been demolished. Councillors in Newtown, Connecticut, decided to knock down the large, picturesque house on Yogananda Drive, and tear apart its foundations, to stop it being a 'constant reminder' of Lanza's brutal 2012 massacre. Lanza, 20, gunned down his mother, Nancy, inside the home before moving on to the Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he murdered 20 first-graders and six members of staff. Demolition: Police watch as wrecking machinery finishes work on Yogananda Drive in Newtown, Connecticut, where Adam Lanza began the murderous Sandy Hook rampage by killing his own mother . Before: The 3,100-square-foot home was set in two acres of its own land in the exclusive town. Newtown authorities were given the house by the bank which acquired it, and voted to destroy it . Killer: Lanza, pictured above in two photos from some time before the 2012 killing, spent most of his time inside the house after dropping out of school . The killer spent most of his life at the home, which his parents bought in 1998 before they divorced. In the years leading up to the horrific shooting, Lanza spent increasing amounts of time inside its walls, where he spent hours playing video games, and would communicate with his mother by email. An exhaustive report into Lanza's life by state officials concluded that he was allowed to slip into a 'padded' world, in which he rarely had contact with the outside world - which may have contributed to the killings. No more: The home, pictured above four days after the December 2012 killing, had already been completely emptied and everything inside burned in the hope of preventing a trade in looted Sandy Hook memorabilia . Gone: Plans by the Newtown council call for the plot to be left empty and greenery planted there . Parents: Nancy Lanza, right, lived with her son in the home. Her ex-husband, Peter Lanza, left, lived in Newtown with them until he divorced Nancy . Lanza, who was on the autism spectrum and had other psychiatric problems, turned on his mother at the start of the December 14 rampage. He then drove to Sandy Hook and rampaged through classrooms, opening fire at young children and the teachers who tried to defend them. Lanza shot himself in the head just as police were arriving at the scene. Once the wreckage of the house, its driveway and foundations are removed, the space will be left empty. Demolition work began Monday, and the house has already been pulled down. Horror: Children are pictured above being led out of the school by their teachers on the day of the massacre . Aftermath: First responders are pictured above at the scene. Lanza shot himself in the head when police arrived . The town was given the 3,100-square-foot home, and its 2-acre lot, by a bank which acquired the property from the Lanzas. Bank officials had already gone inside and incinerated everything they could find, to stop any of the family's possessions becoming sick memorabilia of the massacre. The decision to rip down the house was made in late January, prompted in part by pleas from haunted neighbors. One, Dave Ackart, said: 'Not only is the property a constant reminder of the evil that resided there - those of us who walk, run, drive, ride or otherwise must pass it multiple times a day, are having a hard time moving on.' The plans call for the landscaped lot to be leveled later in spring, and new greenery planted. Victims: Pictured above are 25 of Lanza's victims, including his mother (bottom right)

Harrison had been an exemplary officer who has never received discipline since being hired onto the department on Sept. 11, 2007. He came to the department after serving 10 years in the United States Air National Guard, where he was deployed to Qatar during Operation Enduring Freedom. Over the years, he has received awards and praise from law enforcement leaders for his dedication in getting weapons, drugs, and impaired drivers off the roads. The prosecutor for the SPCA of Medina County is reviewing the case to determine whether criminal charges should be filed against the officer. I want to start by expressing my deepest apology to Montville Township, the Trustees, the citizens, the police department, my fellow officers and to my partner, Beny. I'm sorry to bringing this upon everyone. I apologize to the trustees and police department for putting you all in this horrible position.

Probe: The IPCC is to investigate a retired officer's claims he was told to keep quiet about Cyril Smith (pictured) after seeing him at a sex party with two boys in Stockport in 1988 . The police watchdog is to examine claims that a paedophile sergeant ordered a junior officer not to tell anyone after catching Cyril Smith at a sex party with two boys. The account of the officer, then a young beat bobby but now retired, that he was threatened with the Official Secrets Act after he found the 29-stone Liberal MP at the home of a known sex offender in 1988 was the latest piece of evidence of an Establishment cover-up of Smith’s decades of abuse. Yesterday the Independent Police Complaints Commission ( IPCC) announced it would be overseeing the investigation into the unnamed ex-officer’s claims. He came forward earlier this month to describe how as a probationary officer he discovered Smith at the party with a prolific sex offender and two drunk teenage boys in Stockport. Smith and another officer in civilian clothes who was also present walked off, he said, while one boy left and the other was taken back to his children’s home. He claimed that the following day he was called to a meeting by a senior officer and Sergeant Don Mackintosh and told he would be breaching the Official Secrets Act if he ever told anyone. ‘In no uncertain terms I was told to say nothing,’ he said. ‘They knew Smith was there and knew who he was.’ Mackintosh was later exposed as a prolific abuser of young boys over more than a decade. He was found hanged in his home last year while facing fresh indecent assault allegations. The retired officer claimed that earlier this year he had an anonymous call from a man who warned him to ‘keep your mouth shut’. The allegation about Smith is already being investigated by Greater Manchester Police’s Operation Clifton which is looking at how previous reports of child sexual abuse were handled or allegedly covered up. But yesterday the IPCC said it would now ‘manage’ how the alleged incident in 1988 was investigated. ‘The IPCC’s involvement will ensure independent oversight of the investigation, while ensuring Greater Manchester Police’s wider ongoing criminal investigation is not affected,’ a spokesman said. Serial child abuser Smith, who was MP for Rochdale from 1972 to 1992 and died aged 82 in 2010, escaped possible prosecution at least eight times after orders were made at the highest level to cover up his crimes. The officer was pulled in by Sergeant Don Mackintosh, who turned out to be paedophile, left, who threatened him with the Official Secrets Act and told him to stay silent about his claims over Smith (right) Last year the Daily Mail exposed his pervert past when it serialised Labour MP for Rochdale Simon Danczuk’s book, Smile For The Camera: The Double Life Of Cyril Smith. It revealed Smith avoided police and court action for decades despite leaving a trail of victims. Most recently, the Mail revealed how a former chief constable of Lancashire was told in the late 1970s that an official at the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions had asked his force to lie about past investigations into Smith. Mr Danczuk said: ‘I welcome the fact that the IPCC are investigating the possibility of a police paedophile cover-up. This incident suggests there could have been a paedophile network straddling both politics and the police.’ Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

The sister of one of the missing women linked to accused murderer Robert Durst has begged the multi-millionaire to come clean to help end nearly 18 years of agony for her family. Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Online, yoga teacher Allison Modafferi urged Durst to be honest with police if he knows anything about what happened to her sister, honors student Kristen Modafferi. 'If he — or anyone — knows anything, please come forward so we can have some answers,' pleaded Allison, who is expecting a daughter in June. 'It's been nearly 18 years so as a family we would welcome anything that could put our minds at rest,' she added. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO .

Before they retired Bob was an engineer and Debbie an elementary school teacher, have both now retired . Durst, who is worth an estimated $100 million, was arrested in New Orleans last weekend. Police believe he was preparing to flee the country as he was found in a hotel room with a latex mask, false ID, a loaded Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver with one spent shell casing and $42,000 in cash. The family of Kristen (right) want him to help end their agony . 'We hope that one of these days we will get some answers as to what happened to Kristen.' Kristen disappeared from San Francisco in 1997. Oakland Police now say there is no hard evidence to suggest that Durst was involved, even though he was living in the city at the time. But In a statement, issued through family friend Joan Scanlon-Petruski, parents Bob and Debbie Modafferi pointed out that the FBI, which had investigated Durst before, could come up with new evidence now.Cops in the northern California town of Eureka are probing whether he could have been involved in the disappearance of another teen, 16-year-old Karen Mitchell who vanished just five months after Kristen. Durst, 71, was sensationally acquitted of the 2001 murder of neighbor Morris Black and has long been suspected of killing his first wife, Kathie, and then murdering long-time friend Susan Berman because she knew too much. He was shockingly caught on tape saying 'I killed them all,' at the end of the HBO documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Durst, who is worth an estimated $100 million, was arrested in New Orleans last weekend, shortly before the finale of the series aired. Police believe he was preparing to flee the country as he was found in a hotel room with a latex mask, false ID, a loaded Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver with one spent shell casing and $42,000 in cash. A small amount of marijuana was also discovered. He is now on suicide watch as he awaits trial in Louisiana on gun and drug possession charges and extradition to California to face a murder trial in the Berman case. Home sweet home: Last December the family sold the five-bedroom, four-bath family home in an upscale development south of Charlotte where Kristen and her three sisters had grown up . Summer in the city: Kristen during her freshman year at North Carolina State University. She moved to San Francisco on her 18th birthday, June 1, 1997. She planned to spend the summer in the City by the Bay before returning to her sophomore year at North Carolina State University where she was studying design . But as new interest has been aroused in Durst, he finds himself linked to cases in at least four states, including the disappearances of Modafferi and Mitchell. Kristen Modafferi moved to San Francisco on her 18th birthday, June 1, 1997. She planned to spend the summer in the City by the Bay before returning to her sophomore year at North Carolina State University where she was studying design. The previous year she was one of the inaugural recipients on the now-highly regarded Park Scholarships which put a premium on travel and service. Within days she started work at Spinelli's coffee shop in the Crocker Galleria in San Francisco's financial district to help pay for a photography course she was due to start at UC Berkeley the day after she vanished. On the day of her disappearance she asked a co-worker for directions to Baker Beach. After she went missing police dogs tracked her scent to the water's edge at nearby Land's End Beach. The last sighting of Kristen was walking through the upscale mall with a blonde woman, who has never been identified. Speculation has risen in recent days that it was in fact Durst, a noted cross-dresser. 'That blonde woman has never come forward and no-one has ever found her,' said Allison Modafferi. Scholar: Kristen at her high school graduation. She was one of the inaugural recipients on the now-highly regarded Park Scholarships which put a premium on travel and service. This is not the first time that Durst has been linked to Modafferi or to Mitchell, who was 16 when she was last seen in Eureka, California, five months after Kristen's disappearance. Durst owned a house in San Francisco at the time Kristen vanished and he was known to be living in Trinidad, California, some 25 miles north of Eureka when Karen went missing after getting into a car. A police sketch of a man driving that car bears an uncanny likeness to the troubled New York property heir. Author Matt Birkbeck first connected Durst to the two missing teens in the 2003 paperback edition of his book A Deadly Secret: The Strange Disappearance of Kathie Durst. The FBI checked Durst out at the time but could not prove that he was connected to either woman. Allison Modafferi is also skeptical even now that Durst, who was found not guilty of the 2001 murder of Black, his neighbor in Galveston, Texas, despite admitting that he chopped his body up and threw it in the sea, will be charged in connection with her sister's disappearance. 'There is just not a lot of evidence,' she told Daily Mail Online. 'The FBI looked at him a few years ago and came up with nothing. 'We have had so many leads over the years that have led nowhere.' The family has never given up hope that Kristen, who would now be 35, is still alive, despite the fact there has been no trace of her for nearly half of her life. They dismiss the possibility that she might have staged her own disappearance. 'We were a very close family — we still are a very close family,' said Allison. 'And there are no signs that she wanted to disappear. She hadn't packed her bags or withdrawn money or anything like that.' But still the family clings to the hope that she is still alive. In obituaries placed in the Charlotte Observer after the deaths of her grandfather Tony Modafferi in 2002 and his widow Lillian in 2006, the family wrote that they left 'four granddaughters, Allison, Kristen, Lauren and Meghan.' Joan Scanlon-Petruski of The Kristen Foundation, a non-profit set up to help find missing adults, told Daily Mail Online that the family is hoping that the Durst link may finally bring some closure to their 18-year ordeal . 'Of course we live with that hope,' said Allison, 38. 'But it has been a very long time.' And as for the chance that she has been held captive for a dozen and a half years, she added: 'There is a part of each of us that hopes for something like that, but it is hard to imagine what the past 18 years would have been like for her if that were the case.' Kristen's parents, Bob, an engineer and Debbie, an elementary school teacher, have both now retired. Last December they finally sold the five-bedroom, four-bath home in an upscale development south of Charlotte, that Kristen and her three sisters had grown up in, and moved to Florida. In a statement, issued through family friend Joan Scanlon-Petruski, Bob and Debbie Modafferi pointed out that the FBI had investigated Durst before. 'It is possible though that the ongoing interrogation of Durst by law enforcement that's taking place right now could uncover new information that could be of value and lead to the truth about what happened to Kristen,' they added. Scanlon-Petruski, who runs The Kristen Foundation, a non-profit set up to help find missing adults, told Daily Mail Online that the family is just hoping that the Durst link may finally bring some closure to their 18-year ordeal. 'Robert Durst is crazy and he has shown he is not willing to admit anything,' she said. 'I certainly want it to be him,' Scanlon-Petruski added. 'Then we would be able to find out at least something, but we have been disappointed so many times in the past.' But police in Oakland, California say there is nothing new to link Durst to Modafferi. 'The Oakland Police Department conducted an investigation with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding the 1997 disappearance of Kristen Modafferi. The investigation was open and active for several years. At this time we do not have any evidence that indicates Robert Durst was involved in her disappearance.' The department said in a statement.

<s>[INST] The sister of one of the missing women linked to accused murderer Robert Durst has begged the multi-millionaire to come clean to help end nearly 18 years of agony for her family. Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Online, yoga teacher Allison Modafferi urged Durst to be honest with police if he knows anything about what happened to her sister, honors student Kristen Modafferi. 'If he — or anyone — knows anything, please come forward so we can have some answers,' pleaded Allison, who is expecting a daughter in June. 'It's been nearly 18 years so as a family we would welcome anything that could put our minds at rest,' she added. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO .

Before they retired Bob was an engineer and Debbie an elementary school teacher, have both now retired . Durst, who is worth an estimated $100 million, was arrested in New Orleans last weekend. Police believe he was preparing to flee the country as he was found in a hotel room with a latex mask, false ID, a loaded Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver with one spent shell casing and $42,000 in cash. The family of Kristen (right) want him to help end their agony . 'We hope that one of these days we will get some answers as to what happened to Kristen.' Kristen disappeared from San Francisco in 1997. Oakland Police now say there is no hard evidence to suggest that Durst was involved, even though he was living in the city at the time. But In a statement, issued through family friend Joan Scanlon-Petruski, parents Bob and Debbie Modafferi pointed out that the FBI, which had investigated Durst before, could come up with new evidence now.Cops in the northern California town of Eureka are probing whether he could have been involved in the disappearance of another teen, 16-year-old Karen Mitchell who vanished just five months after Kristen. Durst, 71, was sensationally acquitted of the 2001 murder of neighbor Morris Black and has long been suspected of killing his first wife, Kathie, and then murdering long-time friend Susan Berman because she knew too much. He was shockingly caught on tape saying 'I killed them all,' at the end of the HBO documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Durst, who is worth an estimated $100 million, was arrested in New Orleans last weekend, shortly before the finale of the series aired. Police believe he was preparing to flee the country as he was found in a hotel room with a latex mask, false ID, a loaded Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver with one spent shell casing and $42,000 in cash. A small amount of marijuana was also discovered. He is now on suicide watch as he awaits trial in Louisiana on gun and drug possession charges and extradition to California to face a murder trial in the Berman case. Home sweet home: Last December the family sold the five-bedroom, four-bath family home in an upscale development south of Charlotte where Kristen and her three sisters had grown up . Summer in the city: Kristen during her freshman year at North Carolina State University. She moved to San Francisco on her 18th birthday, June 1, 1997. She planned to spend the summer in the City by the Bay before returning to her sophomore year at North Carolina State University where she was studying design . But as new interest has been aroused in Durst, he finds himself linked to cases in at least four states, including the disappearances of Modafferi and Mitchell. Kristen Modafferi moved to San Francisco on her 18th birthday, June 1, 1997. She planned to spend the summer in the City by the Bay before returning to her sophomore year at North Carolina State University where she was studying design. The previous year she was one of the inaugural recipients on the now-highly regarded Park Scholarships which put a premium on travel and service. Within days she started work at Spinelli's coffee shop in the Crocker Galleria in San Francisco's financial district to help pay for a photography course she was due to start at UC Berkeley the day after she vanished. On the day of her disappearance she asked a co-worker for directions to Baker Beach. After she went missing police dogs tracked her scent to the water's edge at nearby Land's End Beach. The last sighting of Kristen was walking through the upscale mall with a blonde woman, who has never been identified. Speculation has risen in recent days that it was in fact Durst, a noted cross-dresser. 'That blonde woman has never come forward and no-one has ever found her,' said Allison Modafferi. Scholar: Kristen at her high school graduation. She was one of the inaugural recipients on the now-highly regarded Park Scholarships which put a premium on travel and service. This is not the first time that Durst has been linked to Modafferi or to Mitchell, who was 16 when she was last seen in Eureka, California, five months after Kristen's disappearance. Durst owned a house in San Francisco at the time Kristen vanished and he was known to be living in Trinidad, California, some 25 miles north of Eureka when Karen went missing after getting into a car. A police sketch of a man driving that car bears an uncanny likeness to the troubled New York property heir. Author Matt Birkbeck first connected Durst to the two missing teens in the 2003 paperback edition of his book A Deadly Secret: The Strange Disappearance of Kathie Durst. The FBI checked Durst out at the time but could not prove that he was connected to either woman. Allison Modafferi is also skeptical even now that Durst, who was found not guilty of the 2001 murder of Black, his neighbor in Galveston, Texas, despite admitting that he chopped his body up and threw it in the sea, will be charged in connection with her sister's disappearance. 'There is just not a lot of evidence,' she told Daily Mail Online. 'The FBI looked at him a few years ago and came up with nothing. 'We have had so many leads over the years that have led nowhere.' The family has never given up hope that Kristen, who would now be 35, is still alive, despite the fact there has been no trace of her for nearly half of her life. They dismiss the possibility that she might have staged her own disappearance. 'We were a very close family — we still are a very close family,' said Allison. 'And there are no signs that she wanted to disappear. She hadn't packed her bags or withdrawn money or anything like that.' But still the family clings to the hope that she is still alive. In obituaries placed in the Charlotte Observer after the deaths of her grandfather Tony Modafferi in 2002 and his widow Lillian in 2006, the family wrote that they left 'four granddaughters, Allison, Kristen, Lauren and Meghan.' Joan Scanlon-Petruski of The Kristen Foundation, a non-profit set up to help find missing adults, told Daily Mail Online that the family is hoping that the Durst link may finally bring some closure to their 18-year ordeal . 'Of course we live with that hope,' said Allison, 38. 'But it has been a very long time.' And as for the chance that she has been held captive for a dozen and a half years, she added: 'There is a part of each of us that hopes for something like that, but it is hard to imagine what the past 18 years would have been like for her if that were the case.' Kristen's parents, Bob, an engineer and Debbie, an elementary school teacher, have both now retired. Last December they finally sold the five-bedroom, four-bath home in an upscale development south of Charlotte, that Kristen and her three sisters had grown up in, and moved to Florida. In a statement, issued through family friend Joan Scanlon-Petruski, Bob and Debbie Modafferi pointed out that the FBI had investigated Durst before. 'It is possible though that the ongoing interrogation of Durst by law enforcement that's taking place right now could uncover new information that could be of value and lead to the truth about what happened to Kristen,' they added. Scanlon-Petruski, who runs The Kristen Foundation, a non-profit set up to help find missing adults, told Daily Mail Online that the family is just hoping that the Durst link may finally bring some closure to their 18-year ordeal. 'Robert Durst is crazy and he has shown he is not willing to admit anything,' she said. 'I certainly want it to be him,' Scanlon-Petruski added. 'Then we would be able to find out at least something, but we have been disappointed so many times in the past.' But police in Oakland, California say there is nothing new to link Durst to Modafferi. 'The Oakland Police Department conducted an investigation with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding the 1997 disappearance of Kristen Modafferi. The investigation was open and active for several years. At this time we do not have any evidence that indicates Robert Durst was involved in her disappearance.' The department said in a statement.

It's usually cats getting their backs scratched. But one paws-on feline from Bonita, California, decided to repay the favor with his own 'ultimate meow-ssage.' Banks the cat was filmed as he caressed a woman's back and shoulders. 'How does it feel?' a man asks as the therapy session takes place. 'Fantastic!' the woman exclaims with a grin on her face. To reach all the right spots, Banks hopped up on to a kitchen counter, with his customer stood in front. He then proceeded to paw-rub away. The animal was previously listed for adoption by the San Diego Department of Animal Services. However, he now appears to have gone to a good home. Banks' massage client explained that his relaxation techniques were a definite bonus. 'For sure, who doesn't like an in-house masseuse that works for catnip?' she said.

Mr Xie, a teacher in China, has been sacked after punishing two students by making them kneel on the floor and act as his footstool (above) A teacher in China has been sacked after punishing two students by making them kneel on the floor and act as footstools. Mr Xie told the male pupils from Nanguang High School in Fujian to stay behind after class on Thursday because they were being too loud. He made the students crouch on the floor while he played on his phone and put his bare feet on their backs, People's Daily Online reported. Mr Xie, who has been a teacher for 27 years, was dismissed after the Nan'an City Education Department saw a picture on social media. The image shows both students being made to kneel on the ground in their school uniforms in front of a crowd of pupils. Mr Liu, headteacher, said Mr Xie, who is in his 40s, was supervising a small self-study group around 7.30pm when the two students were too noisy. The Year One pupils - thought to be aged between six and seven - were taken into a different room and told to kneel on the ground. Mr Liu said the footstool photo was taken as a joke and added that Mr Xie, who was in charge of disciplining the male students at the school, 'performed well in his work and was extremely talented'. Nan'an City Department of Education said it took immediate action. It requested the school apologise to students and parents, and said that student counselling should also be offered. Stronger ethics and appropriate styles of teaching would be implemented at the school, the department added. Mr Liu said that a school representative had already gone to the homes of the two students to apologise formally. Boys and girls sit in lines outside Nanguang High School in Fujian, where the incident happened . He said: 'Mr Xie’s actions were in violation of our policies and there had to be some form of punishment by the school.' The two students have returned to class.

A bride who shot her niece dead during an argument on her wedding night has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Christina George-Harvan, 30 and Katelyn Francis, 21, were celebrating at Jimmy K's bar in New Brighton, Pennsylvania, after the ceremony on April 24, 2014 when they started arguing over who should drive home. The row spilled into the parking lot and then into new husband Jeremy Harvan's car when the gun went off. On Friday a jury convicted her of involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment - both class one misdemeanors. Her bond was revoked and she was led back to the jail cells in tears - but her family say they are pleased with the outcome. Scroll down for video . Christina George-Harvan, 30 (pictured in court on Friday) has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after shooting her niece Katelyn Francis dead after her wedding last year . George-Harvan and Francis, 21, (pictured) were partying after a wedding 30 miles south of Pittsburgh on April 24, 2014 . Her mother Julie Francis told WTAE: 'I didn't think there would be a not guilty verdict. We figured there would be something. And this is the least of those charges . Prosecutors were seeking third degree murder, but the jury agreed with the defense's argument it was an accident. George-Harvan, a former nurse, took to the stand on Thursday during her trial.  She told the court about the hours leading up the shooting - saying there was no tension with her niece.

George-Harvan's mother (pictured) admitted she didn't think there would be a not guilty verdict and was pleased her daughter was given the lesser charges . As the night went on they drank more, the court heard, and soon Mr Harvan was determined to drive home. However Francis demanded she be the designated driver and tried to take the keys off of him. George-Harvan said: 'When I turned around, the glove box is open and I see this gun. I think I gotta move this gun. I go get it out of the glove box to move it and boom the gun goes off. The defense attorney then asked: 'Did you squeeze the trigger?' And she replied: 'No.' Recounting the moment she realized she had shot her niece, she said: 'Everything freezes, Jeremy says, 'You just shot your [expletive] cousin'. 'He steps over her dying body and he runs. I put pressure on [Katelyn's] wound and I screamed and dialed 911. She added, 'I felt devastated. It was like a nightmare. Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life and my niece is dead.' George-Harvan (pictured before her first court appearance the day after the shooting) said during the trial she would never hurt her niece and insisted there was no tension between the pair earlier in the evening .

Best watch your back hipster London eateries; there's new kid on the block coming to take your crown. Cashing in on the trend for single-item menu restaurants, Melt Room, which only serves toasties - or 'melts' as they are known -  is set to open its doors in Soho this May. The menu will offer a variety of sandwiches, from the classic grilled cheese which will set you back £4.50 to more upmarket fillings such as slow-cooked lamb shoulder with mustard dressed greens. The Melt Room, which only serves toasties such as the classic grilled cheese sandwich (pictured) is set to open its doors in Soho this May . The grilled cheese sandwich shop follows in the footsteps of the UK's other single-item restaurants – Porridge Cafe in Old Street, London; Simply Crispy in Belfast which serves crisp sandwiches, and Brick Lane's Cereal Killer Cafe. The menu is currently being finalised but there will approximately be four breakfast toasties or 'melts' as they will be called, and six signature melts . The 12-seater cafe will also serve seasonal specials and 'hero melts' with unique cheeses. All combinations are served between hand-made, organic, sourdough bread from London's local Wapping bakery and use free-range Native Breeds meat from Gloucestershire. Sides such as crisp pickles, relish, cheese-friendly sauces and cheese on toast popcorn will be available to 'heighten the experience'. Melt Room will also serve luxury toasties such as this pulled lamb melt with mustard dressed greens . The cafe is the brainchild of self-confessed grilled cheese aficionado Andrey Datsenko who wanted to 'fix his own grilled cheese cravings.' Mr Datsenko said: 'I spent the better part of my youth studying hospitality management in New York and very quickly became addicted to the delicious and hearty grilled cheese sandwiches the city had to offer. 'I am very excited to launch Melt Room, not only to fix my own grilled cheese cravings, but to offer Londoners a gourmet American-inspired version of this much loved snack.' Nik Williamson who runs The Porridge Cafe . The menu includes the Classic – the holiest of grilled cheese sandwiches made with Keens sharp cheddar double slices; slow and low lamb shoulder with mustard dressed greens and melted Swiss, and rare roast beef coupled with Sparkenhoe red Leicestershire. The shop will open from 7am for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with 12 seats available for guests to enjoy a quick meal accompanied by cheesy tunes. And don't fret if you can't get yourself a seat – they're also introducing a local delivery service. Melt Room follows on the heels of Old Street's Porridge Cafe, Simply Crispy in Belfast which serves crisp sandwiches and Brick Lane's Cereal Killer Cafe . The Porridge Cafe - from the founders of The Bow Street Kitchen Nik Wiliamson and Elly Harrington - opened in early March and serves 25 types of porridge made from 11 different grains. Prices range from £2.35 for a bowl of basic porridge to £7 for the more hearty versions, with meat and vegetable toppings. The cafe serves both sweet and savoury versions of the traditional breakfast dish. Just crisps: Businessman Andrew McMenamin opened Belfast's Simply Crispy in January 2015 . In December 2014 self-confessed cereal obsessives Alan and Gary Keery launched the UK’s first cereal cafe featuring 120 cereals, 20 types of toppings and 12 varieties of milk. The identical twins’ establishment opened in Brick Lane, London and offers a menu of over 100 cereals from around the world. The duo came under fire when they first opened their cafe, for charging £3.20 for a bowl of cereal. The single-item cafe movement is not just confined to London. Belfast's Simply Crispy which opened earlier in January was the brainchild of businessman Andrew McMenamin who had planned to keep his pop-up going for just four weeks. But with diners queuing down the street to get their hands on the snacks, which have sold out every day, the cafe will now stay open and could even expand to other shops in Northern Ireland, Dublin, or London. Alan and Gary Keery of The Cereal Killer Cafe in Brick Lane serve 120 cereals with 20 toppings and 12 milks . 'We have managed to sell out every day - not the crisps though, the bread, the baps. We can't get our hands on enough fresh baps because everything flies out of the door,' Mr McMenamin said. Moo’d, opened by best friends Zoe Blogg and Jen Gibb in Leeds in February this year, offers 100 different cereals as well as ‘cocktails’ consisting of mixed varieties of different brands. Not wanting to be left behind, two rivals are racing to become Manchester's first cereal cafe. Black Milk Cereal Dive has confirmed it will open in Afflecks Palace this month, and according to Twitter, Cereal Central MCR is 'coming soon.'

Newcastle have announced record profits of £18.7million last season due to increases in television income and new deals with sponsors. The club, owned by Mike Ashley, also saw revenues increase by 35 per cent from £95.9m to £129.7m, the club said. More than half Newcastle's income - £78.3m - came from the new Premier League television rights deals, with commercial income also increasing. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has seen his side record a profit for the fourth consecutive year . Newcastle fans have not taken to Ashley since he took control of the Premier League club in 2007 . A Newcastle statement said: 'Most significantly, the club reported strong commercial revenue growth delivering £25.6m in 2014, up from £17.1m in 2013. This 49.7 per cent increase was largely the result of two lucrative new deals with the club's principal sponsors, Wonga and Puma.' It is the fourth successive year the club have made a profit and cements Newcastle's positions in financial terms at least as one of the most successful in the top flight. The club's debt remained static at £129million in the form of an interest-free loan from owner Mike Ashley - none of the debt has been repaid. Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley said: 'I am pleased to report a positive set of results which confirms the healthy financial position the club now finds itself in and is a reflection of the prudent and measured manner in which we operate. A large proportion of Newcastle's income came through sponsorship deals with Wonga and Puma . 'The club benefits from a supportive owner and is financially stable. This gives us a strong platform from which to grow, both on and off the pitch, a result of which means, as we move forward, we are able to net spend on the playing squad and invest in other areas of the business. 'The most pleasing aspect in this set of accounts has been the growth in our commercial revenue and it has been our strongest year yet in that respect. 'With our commitment to keeping ticket prices affordable for our supporters, growing our commercial income has been crucial. The deals we struck with our two main sponsors, Wonga and Puma, together with a stronger focus on our commercial operations, have helped us achieve this growth.

Only Gordon Ramsay could take asparagus, fructose and shiitake mushrooms and come up with a recipe for teaching his children how to swear without causing offence. The chef, known for his use of expletives, has revealed he is teaching daughters Megan, Matilda and Holly and son Jack ‘some really nice alternatives to curse words’.

Ramsay said that he replied: ‘I said: ‘Well it’s a Japanese mushroom, it’s delicious, now f*** off.’’ The chef has long been known for his bad language - but this is the first time that he has admitted that he is teaching the same to his children, who are aged between 12 and 16. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live in the US, he said: ‘I tried to teach them some side language. Known for his use of expletives: The chef, who was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland, has gained fame on shows such as Hell's Kitchen and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares . 'So I said: "Look, cursing is not smart, it’s an industry language and sometimes daddy lets it slip - 20 times a day." So I come up with some really nice sort of alternatives to curse words. 'So rather than saying the word s***, which you know, is not nice - shiitake. And instead of the F word? Fructose. Rather than saying a**, it’s asparagus.’ Ramsay has admitted to unconventional parenting in the past and has told his children that cooking is a ‘life skill’ - and is more important than passing exams. He was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland, and moved out of home at 16 because of his abusive alcoholic father - gaining fame on shows such as Hell's Kitchen and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

Kano, Nigeria (CNN)Hundreds of troops from Chad and Niger launched a ground and aerial offensive against Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria on Sunday, according to residents and military sources from Niger. The sweeping offensive is taking place along the Niger-Nigeria border, sources said, effectively opening a new front in the fight against the Islamist terror group. This comes a day after Boko Haram pledged allegiance to ISIS in an audio message purported to be from leader Abubakar Shekau. Latest developments in the fight against ISIS . "Early this morning, troops from Niger and Chad launched ground and air raids against Boko Haram into Nigeria, and the operation is still continuing," said a military official in the border town of Diffa, Niger. "It is an intensive operation that is aimed at pulverizing Boko Haram and crippling their capability," according to the source. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to comment publicly about the operation. ‎Residents said artillery fire and fighter jets pushed Boko Haram fighters into the Damasak district of Nigeria, which is a Boko Haram enclave. "Around 6 a.m., soldiers from Niger and Chad in huge numbers confronted Boko Haram around the Doutchi area outside Diffa and later crossed the bridge into Nigeria," said Diffa resident Ari Boubakarna. "We heard huge explosions from artillery fire and fighter jets, but the explosions receded ‎as the troops moved further into Nigeria," Boubakarna continued. A journalist working in Diffa saw ‎troops headed toward the border with Nigeria, where Boko Haram fighters had taken up positions. ‎"They left in a huge convoy of over 200 vehicles, some of them fitted with machine guns, including armored tanks, ambulances, water tankers and cargo trucks, which indicate they were going for a prolonged operation," the journalist said. ‎Residents lined up the streets to offer water and tea as the troops drove out of Diffa, residents said, adding that soldiers promised to capture Shekau alive.‎ . ‎Another contingent of troops, backed by air support, moved out from the town of Bosso, Niger, according to residents. "Soldiers in large numbers crossed into Nigeria this morning, and we could hear thunderous sounds of gunfire and explosions coming from the direction of Malam Fatori," Bosso resident Tandja Moumouni said. Nigeria and its neighbors have recently mounted a coordinated offensive against Boko Haram militants in the Borno state, where the Islamist group has seized a large swathe of territory. Nigeria shares a border with Niger, Chad and Cameroon there. As a part of this alliance, thousands of troops from Niger and Chad were stationed in Bosso and Diffa in January. ‎The offensive has succeeded in reclaiming some of the territory seized by the group. Nigeria has vowed to liberate all of its territories from Boko Haram before the general elections, which begin on March 28, to enable displaced residents return to their homes for the elections.

Serena Williams has spoken of her close friendship with tennis rival Caroline Wozniacki. Appearing on the front cover of US Vogue, the American world No 1 admits that times can get tough at the top and that she is glad to have Wozniacki and sister Venus around for support. 'It’s hard and lonely at the top,' Serena confessed to Vogue. 'That’s why it’s so fun to have Caroline and my sister, too. You’re a target when you’re number one. Everyone wants to beat you. Everyone talks behind your back, and you get a lot more criticism. God forbid I lose.' Scroll down for video . American world No 1 Serena Williams appears on the front cover of Vogue and showed off her fit physique . Serena shared an Instagram image touting her Vogue issue in which she admitted: 'It’s lonely at the top' Last May, it was Caroline who needed Serena's support. When Serena got word that Caroline had been dumped by fiance Rory McIlroy, she immediately picked up the phone. 'I was devastated. I had planned the bachelorette party,' Williams said. Serena and Caroline both sat down to chat about the event six months after the fact. 'My phone was going crazy, but I didn’t want to talk to anyone,' said Caroline. 'I kept calling,' Serena said. 'First she texted, "If you don’t pick up, I am going to fly to Monaco." And then, "If you don’t answer the door, I am going to knock it down." 'So I thought, OK, I better answer the phone. And I am so glad I did. She wasn’t pitying me, like a lot of people were. I mean, it’s not like anyone died.' Williams spoke about her close friendship with Caroline Wozniacki, who is a rival on the tennis court . Wozniacki added: 'I was in shock, but she was really helpful because she had been through it before. She didn’t sugarcoat it, and she didn’t look down on me. 'She was really there for me when I needed her the most, and that’s why I think our friendship is so strong now.' 'I was impressed with how strong she was,' Serena said, before continuing: 'And you know, there will be other engagement parties... many.' Williams and Wozniacki celebrate after the Dane finished last year's New York Marathon while the pair also attended the Vogue Fashion Fun Awards in New York last year . Serena indicated that Caroline won't have problems finding another guy, as they literally swarm her when the girls go out at night. 'I am really shy. I don’t talk to guys,' Serena conceded. And although she had once wished for a family and children of her own some day, she's not in any particular hurry. 'I guess,' she said. 'I’m not even looking for it.' On the court, it's a different story. Serena went on to say: 'On the court, I am fierce! I am mean and I am tough. I am completely opposite off the court. My confidence just isn’t the same. I wish I was more like I am on the court. Nobody would know that I am constantly crying or complaining.' Williams said: 'On the court, I am fierce! I am mean and I am tough. I am completely opposite off the court'

Appearing on the front cover of US Vogue, the American world No 1 admits that times can get tough at the top and that she is glad to have Wozniacki and sister Venus around for support. 'It’s hard and lonely at the top,' Serena confessed to Vogue. 'That’s why it’s so fun to have Caroline and my sister, too. You’re a target when you’re number one. Everyone wants to beat you. Everyone talks behind your back, and you get a lot more criticism. God forbid I lose.' Scroll down for video . American world No 1 Serena Williams appears on the front cover of Vogue and showed off her fit physique . Serena shared an Instagram image touting her Vogue issue in which she admitted: 'It’s lonely at the top' Last May, it was Caroline who needed Serena's support. When Serena got word that Caroline had been dumped by fiance Rory McIlroy, she immediately picked up the phone. 'I was devastated. I had planned the bachelorette party,' Williams said. Serena and Caroline both sat down to chat about the event six months after the fact. 'My phone was going crazy, but I didn’t want to talk to anyone,' said Caroline. 'I kept calling,' Serena said. 'First she texted, "If you don’t pick up, I am going to fly to Monaco." And then, "If you don’t answer the door, I am going to knock it down." 'So I thought, OK, I better answer the phone. And I am so glad I did. She wasn’t pitying me, like a lot of people were. I mean, it’s not like anyone died.' Williams spoke about her close friendship with Caroline Wozniacki, who is a rival on the tennis court . Wozniacki added: 'I was in shock, but she was really helpful because she had been through it before. She didn’t sugarcoat it, and she didn’t look down on me. 'She was really there for me when I needed her the most, and that’s why I think our friendship is so strong now.' 'I was impressed with how strong she was,' Serena said, before continuing: 'And you know, there will be other engagement parties... many.' Williams and Wozniacki celebrate after the Dane finished last year's New York Marathon while the pair also attended the Vogue Fashion Fun Awards in New York last year . Serena indicated that Caroline won't have problems finding another guy, as they literally swarm her when the girls go out at night. 'I am really shy. I don’t talk to guys,' Serena conceded. And although she had once wished for a family and children of her own some day, she's not in any particular hurry. 'I guess,' she said. 'I’m not even looking for it.' On the court, it's a different story. Serena went on to say: 'On the court, I am fierce! I am mean and I am tough. I am completely opposite off the court. My confidence just isn’t the same. I wish I was more like I am on the court. Nobody would know that I am constantly crying or complaining.' Williams said: 'On the court, I am fierce! I am mean and I am tough. I am completely opposite off the court' [/INST] World No 1 Serena Williams appears in the April issue of US Vogue .

The producer of the new James Bond thriller Spectre denies that the script was changed to get incentives in Mexico. Earlier, it was reported that leaked emails indicated that Mexico made suggestions on the nationality of an actress and the villain, the villain's intended victim and some film shots. Implicitly, Mexico's incentives for the film were at stake, it said. Producer Michael G. Wilson said Wednesday: 'There is nothing in the script that we hadn't had before. The villain was always an Italian ... we already shot that in Rome.' Scroll down for video . Producer Michael G. Wilson and Bond girl Stephanie Sigman arrive for a photo call ahead of a press conference to discuss Sigman's role in the upcoming 007 film Spectre in Mexico City . Asked about Mexico's purported insistence on a Mexican actress in a role known as Estrella, Wilson said, 'We always had a Mexican actress playing this part.' The film has cast Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman in the role. Officials in Mexico City have declined to comment on possible incentives offered on the movie, which is scheduled to begin its Mexico filming Thursday. Relying on emails leaked as part of the recent hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment, website Tax Analysts said that the target of the villain Sciarra should be an international leader rather than Mexico City's mayor and that a 'special police force' should appear in the film instead of Mexican police. The film has cast Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman as a character called Estrella . Actor Daniel Craig as 007 filming an action scene in Solden, Austria, for new bond film Spectre . Wilson confirmed there are incentives. 'Everywhere we go we have incentives,' he said at a news conference. 'Sometimes they're taxes; sometimes they're other kind of incentives. You can get cooperation, you can get things you would usually pay for for free and all that.' But it wasn't just incentives. Wilson confirmed that Mexico's 'Day of the Dead' traditions will be seen in the film, or at least a Bond version - 'where everything is sort of magnified.' Mexicans remember departed relatives and friends on the Day of the Dead at the beginning of November with orange flowers, candy skulls and other death-related decorations. 'The writers thought the day of the death would be an excellent background in the opening sequence, very colorful, very mysterious,' Wilson said. 'You can only do that in Mexico. There is no other place that offers that but Mexico.' Spectre sees Daniel Craig as 007 going up against a sinister organisation. The film is due out in October this year.

It is one of the most expensive cancer the NHS treats, yet receives only a fraction of cancer research funding. Every year in the UK, 10,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer, and of that half will die from the disease. But experts are today rallying behind a new campaign Shout Out About Bladder Cancer, to raise awareness and vital funds to develop research. It comes as researchers at the University of Birmingham believe a new and simple test could help determine how aggressive a patient's disease is, allowing doctors to tailor individual treatment plans. The scientists, who estimate treating the disease currently costs the NHS £65 million a year, found being able to reliably identify those patients with the most aggressive cancers early after diagnosis 'significantly improved outcomes'. They identified two biomarkers in the urine which they believe can predict a patient's prognosis. A new campaign has been launched to raise public awareness of bladder cancer - the seventh most common cancer in the UK and the form of the disease that costs the NHS most to treat at £65 million a year . Three charities, Action On Bladder Cancer, Fight Bladder Cancer and The Urology Foundation are leading the campaign. It aims to raise funds to invest in bladder cancer research . Dr Douglas Ward, from the University of Birmingham, said: 'There is an urgent need for prognostic biomarkers that could guide patient management. 'If such a test could be delivered, in a non-invasive way, it could make treatment much more efficient and that can only be a good thing.' The Shout Out About Bladder Cancer campaign has been launched by three charities, Action On Bladder Cancer, Fight Bladder Cancer and The Urology Foundation. It aims to raise public awareness of the 'Cinderella disease', in a bid to prevent thousands of 'unnecessary' deaths each year. Louise de Winter, chief executive of The Urology Foundation (TUF), said: 'At TUF we became very aware that bladder cancer is the Cinderella disease which people shy away from talking about. 'We were receiving fewer applications for research into bladder cancer and wanted to make a push to encourage people to do more research into this area. 'By working together with the other charities we believe we can create more awareness of the disease and hopefully provide more funding for research.' 'Progress is being made but we need it to be made faster,' she added. Her colleague in the fight against bladder cancer, Andrew Winterbottom, founder of Fight Bladder Cancer, and a patient of the disease himself, warned that the chances of surviving the disease are 'getting worse'. Smoking is known to be the biggest cause of bladder cancer. The most common symptoms are blood in your wee, frequently needing a wee, recurring urinary infections and abdominal or back pain . There are two main types of bladder cancer. Non-invasive bladder cancer is where the disease develops only in the inner lining of the bladder. Meanwhile invasive bladder cancer is where the cancer has spread into the deeper walls of the bladder. Of more than 200 known cancers, bladder cancer ranks fifth most common in the western world. It is a disease that affects people regardless of age and sex, although it is recognised the chances of developing the disease increase as a person gets older. What causes bladder cancer? Smoking is by far the largest preventable cause of bladder cancer. Other causes include exposure to specific industrial chemicals and dyes, as well as diesel fumes. Studies have also suggested a hereditary link to bladder cancer. However, in almost half of cases experts still do not know what causes the disease. It is one of the reasons the Shout Out About Bladder Cancer campaign team are attempting to raise more money to fund more extensive research. Currently just 0.6 per cent of cancer research is spent on bladder cancer. The result is that treatments for the disease are much the same as they were 35 years ago. A spokesman for the campaign said: 'Quite simply, the current treatments are not very good at preventing recurrence or stopping the cancer spreading and becoming fatal. 'That is why it is still the most expensive cancer for the NHS to treat and it has the highest recurrence rate of any cancer.' The most common symptoms are: . Source: Shout Out About Bladder Cancer . He said: 'People affected by this cancer feel that they are being ignored. 'There have not been any new treatments for more than 30 years. 'Despite being such a common cancer, so few people have ever heard of it, let alone know the causes or symptoms. 'This needs to change which is why one main aim of the campaign is to get as  many people as possible to start talking about bladder cancer.' Consultant urologist, Hugh Mostafid, chair of Action on Bladder Cancer, added: 'I see every day the huge difference it can make to diagnose bladder cancer early, when its curable. 'Anything that raises public awareness of bladder cancer and therefore makes people seek help earlier is to be welcomed and if we raise money to support research into better treatment at the same time then all the better.' Their quest comes as colleagues at Birmingham University publish their study in the British Journal of Cancer. They hope their findings will prove a vital step forward, paving the way for improved care for every bladder cancer patient. The researchers identified two markers in urine, by analysing specimens provided by volunteers. Two prognostic urinary biomarkers were identified - epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and a protein, epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM). The scientists concluded therefore that measuring the biomarkers, could 'represent a simple and useful approach for fast-tracking the investigation and treatment of patients with the most aggressive bladder cancers'. They said the tests could prove useful for both newly-diagnosed patients as well as existing patients, who suffer a recurrence of the disease. In addition, by identifying patients with less aggressive forms of the disease, it may allow for fewer visits to specialists, and even discharging patients from specialist care sooner than expected.

Around 10,000 patients are diagnosed with bladder cancer every year, of which around half will die . Last week the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) published new guidelines to ensure bladder cancer patients receive the same level of treatment regardless of where they live. While it is thought to be one of the most expensive cancers to treat for the NHS, there is a wide variation in treatments offered across the country.

'There are a number of treatments available, but for some people a diagnosis is only made when they are admitted to hospital in an emergency - in these cases the outlook can be poor. 'Bladder cancer can have a profound impact on someone's psychological wellbeing as well as their physical health. 'Both the tumours and the treatments can affect bowel, bladder and sexual function.

Ikram Ismail has been jailed for stalking Big Brother winner Kate Lawler and leaving her bizarre gifts . A stalker who sent ex-Big Brother star Kate Lawler bizarre Islamic gifts causing the bomb squad to be scrambled has been jailed. Army bomb disposal experts were sent to the offices of Rock FM, in Preston, Lancashire, where Miss Lawler works as a DJ, after obsessed Ikram Ismail sent her a box containing a burnt Koran, a court heard. Ismail, of Preston, had never met the 34-year-old personality but started leaving strange gifts at the studio on St Paul's Square, in Deepdale, Preston Magistrates' Court heard. On the first occasion, in February 2014, the bomb squad was called to a suspicious box, which was later found to contain a Koran, wrapped in traditional fabric. Among other strange 'gifts' Ismail, who pleaded guilty to stalking, left in the studio grounds over the next 12 months were a book entitled the Ninety-Nine Names of Allah, a burnt Koran, a burnt jumper, a box containing Muslim leaflets, and a 'Kate' keyring. He also left the DJ chocolates and a clock, scattered safety pins, a soup cookbook and a parcel containing a 'love' fridge magnet and chocolates. Prosecutor Suzy Privett told the court that on Hallowe'en last year, DJ Jordan North saw the defendant trying to get into a party, believing Kate Lawler was there. A PCSO later attended and found Ismail, and he was issued with an acceptable behaviour contract. However, on Valentine's Day this year he sent further gifts to Miss Lawler, followed by a card signed 'Ikram'. The celebrity became aware of his behaviour, and when she checked her social media accounts, she found several messages from him dating back to July 2014, the court heard.

Veteran keeper Shay Given is hoping the Republic of Ireland can blow Euro 2016 qualifying Group D wide open by getting the better of surprise leaders Poland on Sunday. Ireland entertain the unbeaten Poles at the Aviva Stadium desperate to bounce back from November's 1-0 defeat in Scotland, their first reverse of the campaign to date. With world champions Germany still favourites to finish top of the pile despite a less than auspicious start, the race for the second automatic qualification spot is well and truly on. Veteran keeper Shay Given hopes the Republic of Ireland can surprise leaders Poland on Sunday . Republic of Ireland goalkeepers David Forde and Shay Given during the training session at Gannon Park . Given said: 'It is huge. It's a big week building up to it now as well. It's one of the biggest games we will play in the whole qualifying campaign. 'Of course, Poland are a great team, but we are at home and we have got to use that advantage and try to get the win. 'It's not must-win yet, but it's must-not-lose, I suppose. We have all been here before in this situation the the qualifying campaign. We know how important it is. Republic of Ireland's Darren Randolf, David Forde, Cyrus Christie and Richard Keogh during training .

<s>[INST] Veteran keeper Shay Given is hoping the Republic of Ireland can blow Euro 2016 qualifying Group D wide open by getting the better of surprise leaders Poland on Sunday. Ireland entertain the unbeaten Poles at the Aviva Stadium desperate to bounce back from November's 1-0 defeat in Scotland, their first reverse of the campaign to date.

A new and unlikely fashion trend has emerged in Colorado for sporting jewelry in the shape of IUDs - birth control implants otherwise known as intrauterine devices. Wearing the glittery, brightly-colored objects as earrings or, in the case of men, lapel pins, is a show of support for a new bill which would plunge $5million in state funding into a program which supplies this form of birth control to low-income women. The jewelry has been purchased by more than 200 lobbyists and lawmakers in favor of the Colorado Family Planning Initiative, from web retailer Etsy, and is crafted out of resin by Dr Virginia Smith, an OB-GYN based in Ohio. Trending: Wearing these IUD replicas is a show of support for a new bill which would allocate $5million in state funding into a program which supplies this form of birth control to low-income women in Colorado . IUDs are small T-shaped implants which, when inserted into the uterus, prevent pregnancy from occurring for between three and 12 years, or simply until removed. IUDs (intrauterine devices) are small T-shaped implants which are fitted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. They work by interfering with the way sperm usually fertilize an egg, and are more than 99% effective. IUDs last anywhere between two and 12 years, depending on the type. The implants must be fitted and removed by licensed healthcare providers. Once they are removed, a woman can generally become pregnant straight away. The Colorado Family Planning Initiative has handed out an estimated 30,000 of these contraceptives since its inception in 2009, and up until now, has been grant-funded. According to ThinkProgress, this program has contributed to a 40per cent drop in teen births over the past five years. The new legislation, expected to be introduced on Friday, would allocate $5million of state funds to the cause, allowing IUDs to be fitted for free or at little cost in 68 clinics across Colorado. Some conservatives and anti-choice lawmakers, however, stand against the program, with some - including Republican Senator Kevin Lundberg - even incorrectly claiming IUDs cause abortions. Dr Jennifer Hyer, a Denver-based OB-GYN, dismissed these claims as neither 'medically' nor 'scientifically' accurate, in a statement distributed by NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado. 'They are among the most effective forms of contraception, especially for at-risk women, because they automatically prevent pregnancy,' she said. Glittery: The resin jewelry has been purchased by more than 200 lobbyists and lawmakers in favor of the bill, from web retailer Etsy, and is made by Dr Virginia Smith, an OB-GYN based in Ohio . Republican House Rep. Don Coram is actually in disagreement with members of his own party on this issue, and has taken to wearing one of Dr Smith's IUD pins on his lapel as a sign of his support for the bill. 'A redneck Republican wearing an IUD - it just doesn't make sense does it?' Mr Coram told The Herald. 'Seriously though, I think this is one of the most important bills we are looking at.' Dr Smith, who has seen business for her IUD jewelry go through the roof recently, told ABC's 7News Denver: 'I think women should have access to options and so if this promotes access to options then I think that is a good thing.'

She shot to fame as the relentlessly cheery but dim-witted Nursie, mocked by Lord Blackadder for her dotty, unworldly utterances. And it seems that in real life, actress Patsy Byrne was equally naive when it came to her own financial affairs – her newly released will reveals that she grossly underestimated the fortune she had amassed. Her instructions were that five of her six stepchildren should inherit £20,000 each, with the remainder of her estate going to the sixth. Scroll down for video . Patsy Byrne, right, who played Nursie in Blackadder died last year aged 80 leaving a £1.5 million estate . Ms Byrne, right, left £20k each to four of her daughters and the remainder of her estate to the fifth . However, the remaining share of Ms Byrne's estate was worth in the region of £900,000 . But when she died at the age of 80 last year, Ms Byrne actually left £1.5 million – leaving stepdaughter Monica Seccombe with a potential £900,000 legacy, after inheritance tax. Happily, Ms Seccombe has shared out the money equally with her four sisters; their brother Christopher having died last year at the age of 58, leaving no children. Ms Seccombe, a construction industry lawyer from Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘When she drew up her will, she didn’t realise how much money she had. ‘Her estate will be distributed equally to all her stepchildren.’ And explaining why she had been in line for a bigger share of the legacy, Ms Seccombe added: ‘There was no family bust-up; she just wanted me to sort things out after her death as I am a solicitor.’ Another stepdaughter, Margaret Seccombe from Guildford, Surrey, said: ‘The largest part of the estate was left to Monica to distribute as she saw fit. There was no argument about it. My stepmother arranged it that way so there could be some flexibility just in case one of us had died or another of us was in poverty at the time of her death. There has been full consultation with all the family.’ Probate records released last week reveal that Byrne left £50,000 to both The Theatrical Guild, which supports backstage staff, and the Denville Hall care home for actors in Northwood, Middlesex, where she died last June. She had moved there a few months previously from Kennington, South London, when she became frail. The family also agreed to make a further £50,000 donation to St Joseph’s Hospice in Hackney, East London, and £20,000 to the Little Sisters Of The Poor Care Home in Kennington. Monica Seccombe added: ‘My stepmother also wanted some little things and mementoes to go to friends.’ A classically trained actress who toured with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Byrne became a household name in 1986 when she took the role of Nursie to Miranda Richardson’s petulant Elizabeth I in Blackadder II. The Rowan Atkinson sitcom was the highlight of a long career in theatre, which started when she attended drama school in London. She was on an RSC tour of Latin America in 1964 when she met widower Patrick Seccombe, who was the British Council representative in Uruguay. They wed in 1967 and the marriage lasted until his death in 2000. Byrne also starred in a BBC production of Chekhov’s Platonov in 1971, a 1979 adaptation of The Old Curiosity Shop and in children’s programme Maid Marian And Her Merry Men in the early 1990s – a show created for her by Blackadder co-star Tony Robinson, who played Baldrick.

An ally of the Russian opposition leader who was gunned down in Moscow has branded a theory that he was killed by a devout Muslim because he defended Charlie Hebdo's cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as 'absurd'. It emerged earlier today that police in Russia investigating the death of Boris Nemtsov were looking at theories that he was killed over his support for the French magazine, which published the controversial images. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov had said that Zaur Dadayev, one of the five suspects detained over the killing of Nemtsov was a 'deep believer' and was not happy by Mr Nemstov's supporting the magazine. Scroll down for video . Zaur Dadayev, who has been charged with involvement in the murder of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov inside a defendant's cage inside a Moscow court building . It has been claimed that Dadayev, pictured, is a devout Muslim, who was angry about the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in the French magazine Charlie Hebdo . The claims were made by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, pictured. Dadayev is a former member of the police in Chechnya . However, Ilya Yashin, who co-founded the opposition movement Solidarnost has now dimissed the theory, saying it was 'politically motivated'. He said: 'The official version of the inquiry is more than absurd. In my opinion it is the result of a political order from the Kremlin. He also added how Mr Nemtsov had 'never negatively spoken about Islam' and had merely criticised the Islamist extremists who gunned down 12 people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris in January.

<s>[INST] An ally of the Russian opposition leader who was gunned down in Moscow has branded a theory that he was killed by a devout Muslim because he defended Charlie Hebdo's cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as 'absurd'. It emerged earlier today that police in Russia investigating the death of Boris Nemtsov were looking at theories that he was killed over his support for the French magazine, which published the controversial images. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov had said that Zaur Dadayev, one of the five suspects detained over the killing of Nemtsov was a 'deep believer' and was not happy by Mr Nemstov's supporting the magazine. Scroll down for video . Zaur Dadayev, who has been charged with involvement in the murder of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov inside a defendant's cage inside a Moscow court building . It has been claimed that Dadayev, pictured, is a devout Muslim, who was angry about the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in the French magazine Charlie Hebdo . The claims were made by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, pictured. Dadayev is a former member of the police in Chechnya . However, Ilya Yashin, who co-founded the opposition movement Solidarnost has now dimissed the theory, saying it was 'politically motivated'. He said: 'The official version of the inquiry is more than absurd. In my opinion it is the result of a political order from the Kremlin. He also added how Mr Nemtsov had 'never negatively spoken about Islam' and had merely criticised the Islamist extremists who gunned down 12 people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris in January. Mr Yashin's comments come after Chechen leader Mr Kadyrov wrote on his Instagram account: 'All who know Zaur (Dadayev) confirm that he is a deep believer and also that he, like all Muslim, was shocked by the activities of Charlie and comments in support of printing the cartoons.'

Claire Allnutt died in hospital after a dirty drip was left in her arm for four days. Her family are now taking action against the NHS trust involved, which, they claim, only gave staff 20 minutes training in a new system of patient monitoring . Medics who treated a young woman who died after a dirty drip was left in her arm for four days had just 20 minutes training in a monitoring system, it has been claimed. Claire Allnutt was recovering from having the flesh-eating bug necrotising fasciitis at Luton and Dunstable Hospital last year when the contaminated catheter was used to administer antibiotics. Her devastated parents, Ann and Richard, are now taking action against the NHS trust involved and are claiming staff may have had just 20 minutes training on a new system of monitoring patients. Ms Alnutt's family have also reported five medics from the hospital to the, the General Medical Council watchdog, claiming a catalogue of errors led to their daughter's death. Claire, 28, has been suffering from the flesh-eating infection but was making a full recovery after two months in hospital. But she died from septicaemia when a drip administering antibiotics was left in her arm for four days, triggering blood poisoning. It later emerged that the hospital was using a new electronic alert system called National Early Warning Score. It showed that Claire's condition was deteriorating but staff appear not to have acted on the alert. Her family lodged Freedom of Information request and found staff may have only had 20 minutes training on the system. They have instructed lawyers specialising in medical negligence cases to take action against the hospital. Carole Watts of firm Ashton KCJ said: 'On the face of it this seems to be a very short period of training, especially as the electronic warning system deals with life and death situations. 'It's of great concern to Claire's parents that the staff using the electronic system may not have been adequately trained to use it. 'They are devastated by the loss of their daughter and it's important for them to know that lessons have been learnt from their tragic loss.' An inquest last year heard how a junior doctor spotted fungal spores in the tube on a Friday but it wasn't removed until the following Tuesday. Observation notes showed Claire's condition worsened over the weekend but medics decided to just monitor her and no action was taken until the Tuesday. By that time, life-threatening sepsis had set in and she suffered several heart attacks before dying in the early hours of the following morning. Claire, from Luton, Bedforshire, who was obese and had learning difficulties, had initially refused to consent to the tube being withdrawn because of a phobia of needles. Ms Allnutt's family have also reported five members of staff at the hospital to the General Medical Council . Her family have questioned why no action was taken to remove the drip, known as a PICC line. Ms Watts added: 'The family have many questions about the circumstances of Claire's death and why no action was taken to remove the PICC line. 'It's hoped that the GMC complaint will ensure the actions of the doctors around the time of Claire's death are fully investigated and that the family are given the answers that they need. 'Claire's parents are determined to fight for justice for Claire and a civil claim is being pursued against the hospital.' A hospital spokesman said: 'The Luton and Dunstable University Hospital has given an unreserved apology to Claire Allnutt's family following her tragic death last January. 'All staff groups involved in Claire's case have reflected and learned from the events that occurred prior to Claire's death, and this has resulted in a number of changes to practice, which are being constantly monitored and evaluated.' Hospital bosses say they have apologised unreservedly to Ms Allnutt's family and have made changes .

Killed: Jordan Brennan, 17, pictured, suffered a fatal blow to the head during a scuffle with a 16-year-old boy at a corner shop in Manchester in October . A boy who attacked and killed a teenager after interpreting his Gangnam-Style dance as 'racist' has been jailed for eight months. Jordan Brennan, 17, had broken into the dance made famous by South Korean artist Psy at a corner shop in Gorton, Manchester. But it enraged the other boy, 16, who was shopping in the same store and thought his South East Asian ethnicity was being mocked. After claiming Jordan bumped into him as he spun round, the 16-year old attacker, who was with his girlfriend, tried to stop the victim and ordered him to apologise - but the pair became involved in a tussle. As they struggled near the doorway, Jordan fell back and hit his head on metal shutters outside the shop before his head hit the concrete floor below. The attacker then kicked him in the legs before returned to his shopping. College student Jordan got to his feet and walked home not realising he had suffered a serious head injury in the bust up. He was found lifeless in bed at 9am the following morning when his mother Kim tried to raise him for breakfast. Tests showed he had suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. At Manchester Crown Court on Friday, the killer, now 17, was jailed for eight months. The teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had earlier admitted manslaughter after his not guilty plea to murder was accepted. The tragedy occurred at around 7.30pm on Friday October 10 when Jordan who attended Manchester College and described as 'polite, very bubbly, happy-go-lucky type of lad' was with two friends. They went into the N.A Grocer shop on an errand but inside he began doing the Gangnam style dance and within 17 seconds there was a 'flashpoint' between him and the other teenager. Discussing the tragedy at NA Grocers, Mr Hall said CCTV in the shop captured Jordan 'dancing' in the shop before an argument took place. Weeping was audible from a public gallery packed full of Jordan's family and friends throughout prosecutor Rob Hall's opening address. He said: 'In a relatively short period of time, the defendant is in the queue at the checkout, Jordan is waiting around while others are in the check out queue and while he is waiting he proceeds to dance. 'That dance was accompanied by a reference to the well-known song Gangnam Style. 'It appears that this defendant perceived that dancing and reference as being a racist slur upon him. Jordan is of good character and so to that extent there is nothing to suggest he had racist intentions in any way. 'Needless to say that raised the defendant and he began to remonstrate about what happened. As they went to the exit door the two came into physical contact with the defendant raising his hands and pushing and pulling and in effect the physical contact put Jordan to the ground outside the exit and regrettably the back of his head made heavy contact with paving slabs outside. Jordan (pictured) fell back and hit his head on metal shutters outside the shop before his head hit the concrete floor below . Jordan Brennan had broken into the dance made famous by South Korean artist Psy whilst in high spirits at a corner shop (pictured) in Gorton, Manchester . 'Within a relatively short period of time the incident ended. The defendant was outside for 18 seconds. The whole thing lasted less than 18 seconds. 'The defendant returned back to the store to pay for his shopping and was only absent from the queue for 24 seconds which reflects how fleeting this incident was.' The court was told that the defendant, a straight-A student, had no idea he had caused any injury until he saw coverage of Jordan's death in newspapers and on TV. Jordan returned to his home which was just minutes from the shop and told his mother he was feeling unwell, it was said. The incident happened on October 10 when Jordan was with two friends . Tragically, his mother became so concerned upon his appearance and knowledge of the incident that she suggested they call an ambulance, but Jordan did not want to go to hospital. Mr Hall added: 'Jordan, being as he was, said even if his mother called an ambulance he would send it away. It is regrettable he in effect was not medically examined at the time. 'He had been sick at about midnight and again Jordan was asserting he was fine and wanted to be left alone. It is with much regret and feelings of guilt that she did not do more.' Jordan was checked on by his mother at 3.30am at which point he was sound asleep but when the family rose for the day at around 9am he was unresponsive in bed. Paramedics arrived just six minutes later but it was clear he had been dead for some time. The impact of his head hitting the pavement following the attack fractured his skull and caused bleeding on the brain. Had he been treated in hospital, he could have survived his injuries, it was said. In mitigation, Kate Blackwell QC said: 'This is a case which has led to a tragic outcome for two families. The death of Jordan was in any view devastating for his family. 'It doesn't take much to imagine for those of us who haven't lost any young family member to understand the pain and wretched loss that prevails when this happens. This case has in other ways been a terrible ordeal for the defendant and his family.' The court heard the teenager moved to the UK at the age of nine, from his native Mongolia, and excelled in his studies, receiving exemplary references from his teachers and peers which were put forward at court. She added: 'He is polite, respectful, bright, kind, with an impeccable manner. He loved school and the whole experience was grabbed by both hands. 'This was a chance encounter and his reaction to that situation was not thought by anyone to be serious and there was certainly no intention to cause serious harm and none was expected to be caused.' At Manchester Crown Court on Friday, the killer, now 17, was jailed for eight months. Pictured are floral tributes left outside the Brennan home . Sentencing him to eight months in youth custody, Judge David Stockdale said: 'Your assault on him was quite inexcusable. Your mood of aggression was demonstrated first by your pursuit of him out of the shop and by subsequently kicking him after he fell. 'You had everything going for you. But so did Jordan Brennan. A boy of 17, happy, healthy, a young boy of good character, he too had everything going for him. 'This case serves as a reminder if a reminder was necessary of the lethal consequences, unforeseeable consequences, that so often follow as a result of what might be described as low-level violence. 'Despite all of the mitigating factors I have heard and read and taken into account, I reach the conclusion that the sentence of this court must be custodial.' In a statement Jordan's mother said: 'Our son Jordan Brennan was 17 years old and was a well liked young man. He was a loveable rogue and was always polite and keen to help anyone who needed his help, be that physical help or just to listen to a friend. 'He would cheer them up with his usual larking about or joking around. He was a pleasure to have as a son and his loss is devastating. He was greatly loved by all that knew him.'

He said: 'In a relatively short period of time, the defendant is in the queue at the checkout, Jordan is waiting around while others are in the check out queue and while he is waiting he proceeds to dance. 'That dance was accompanied by a reference to the well-known song Gangnam Style. 'It appears that this defendant perceived that dancing and reference as being a racist slur upon him. Jordan is of good character and so to that extent there is nothing to suggest he had racist intentions in any way. 'Needless to say that raised the defendant and he began to remonstrate about what happened. As they went to the exit door the two came into physical contact with the defendant raising his hands and pushing and pulling and in effect the physical contact put Jordan to the ground outside the exit and regrettably the back of his head made heavy contact with paving slabs outside. Jordan (pictured) fell back and hit his head on metal shutters outside the shop before his head hit the concrete floor below . Jordan Brennan had broken into the dance made famous by South Korean artist Psy whilst in high spirits at a corner shop (pictured) in Gorton, Manchester . 'Within a relatively short period of time the incident ended. The defendant was outside for 18 seconds. The whole thing lasted less than 18 seconds. 'The defendant returned back to the store to pay for his shopping and was only absent from the queue for 24 seconds which reflects how fleeting this incident was.' The court was told that the defendant, a straight-A student, had no idea he had caused any injury until he saw coverage of Jordan's death in newspapers and on TV. Jordan returned to his home which was just minutes from the shop and told his mother he was feeling unwell, it was said. The incident happened on October 10 when Jordan was with two friends . Tragically, his mother became so concerned upon his appearance and knowledge of the incident that she suggested they call an ambulance, but Jordan did not want to go to hospital. Mr Hall added: 'Jordan, being as he was, said even if his mother called an ambulance he would send it away. It is regrettable he in effect was not medically examined at the time. 'He had been sick at about midnight and again Jordan was asserting he was fine and wanted to be left alone. It is with much regret and feelings of guilt that she did not do more.' Jordan was checked on by his mother at 3.30am at which point he was sound asleep but when the family rose for the day at around 9am he was unresponsive in bed. Paramedics arrived just six minutes later but it was clear he had been dead for some time. The impact of his head hitting the pavement following the attack fractured his skull and caused bleeding on the brain. Had he been treated in hospital, he could have survived his injuries, it was said. In mitigation, Kate Blackwell QC said: 'This is a case which has led to a tragic outcome for two families. The death of Jordan was in any view devastating for his family. 'It doesn't take much to imagine for those of us who haven't lost any young family member to understand the pain and wretched loss that prevails when this happens. This case has in other ways been a terrible ordeal for the defendant and his family.' The court heard the teenager moved to the UK at the age of nine, from his native Mongolia, and excelled in his studies, receiving exemplary references from his teachers and peers which were put forward at court. She added: 'He is polite, respectful, bright, kind, with an impeccable manner. He loved school and the whole experience was grabbed by both hands. 'This was a chance encounter and his reaction to that situation was not thought by anyone to be serious and there was certainly no intention to cause serious harm and none was expected to be caused.' At Manchester Crown Court on Friday, the killer, now 17, was jailed for eight months. Pictured are floral tributes left outside the Brennan home . Sentencing him to eight months in youth custody, Judge David Stockdale said: 'Your assault on him was quite inexcusable. Your mood of aggression was demonstrated first by your pursuit of him out of the shop and by subsequently kicking him after he fell. 'You had everything going for you. But so did Jordan Brennan. A boy of 17, happy, healthy, a young boy of good character, he too had everything going for him. 'This case serves as a reminder if a reminder was necessary of the lethal consequences, unforeseeable consequences, that so often follow as a result of what might be described as low-level violence. 'Despite all of the mitigating factors I have heard and read and taken into account, I reach the conclusion that the sentence of this court must be custodial.' In a statement Jordan's mother said: 'Our son Jordan Brennan was 17 years old and was a well liked young man. He was a loveable rogue and was always polite and keen to help anyone who needed his help, be that physical help or just to listen to a friend. 'He would cheer them up with his usual larking about or joking around. He was a pleasure to have as a son and his loss is devastating. He was greatly loved by all that knew him.'

The Liberal Democrats were accused last night of using public money to garner votes after it emerged that more than 80 per cent of places to benefit from a new fuel subsidy will be in their own seats. Treasury chief secretary Danny Alexander said 17 rural areas would benefit from a 5p a litre cut in fuel duty after a scheme – funded by the British taxpayer – was signed off by the European Commission. But 14 are in Lib Dem seats, including two in Mr Alexander’s own constituency in the Scottish Highlands. Labour suggested there should be an inquiry into so-called ‘pork barrel politics’ by the Lib Dems, who also boast of channelling cash for roads and schools to their own seats. Mr Alexander, MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, has faced repeated claims that he is shoring up votes in his seat with increased spending while imposing cutbacks elsewhere. In the past, cash has been found for a tax break for ski lifts, a bailout for a sleeper train from London to Scotland and green levies scrapped for a tourist train in the Cairngorms. In January, Nick Clegg announced plans for a £300million ‘city deal’ for Inverness, including £2million to promote Loch Ness and its mythical monster to tourists. Shadow Treasury chief secretary Chris Leslie suggested the deals should be investigated by the Commons public accounts committee to see if they represent value for money. At the pumps: Treasury chief secretary Danny Alexander said 17 rural areas would benefit from a 5p a litre cut in fuel duty after a scheme – funded by the British taxpayer – was signed off by the European Commission . Mr Leslie said: ‘While I’m sure there are many living in rural areas who would love a fuel duty cut, it seems more than a coincidence that this is largely restricted to Danny Alexander’s backyard and those of his small band of Lib Dem colleagues. ‘Taken together with the very convenient tax break for his local ski lift, there’s something very fishy about these decisions, and perhaps the public accounts committee ought to investigate.’ Nick Clegg has promised to create a Cornish Assembly in a bid to shore up his party’s vote in the county. The Deputy Prime Minister (right) made the pledge as he yesterday embarked on a tour of the key Lib Dem battleground. The party is desperately trying to avoid a wipeout in the county where it once held all six seats. Currently, three of the area’s MPs are Lib Dems. Mr Clegg said that he would create a Cornish Assembly, similar to that in Wales, which could allow the Cornish to choose different rules to the rest of England in areas potentially relating to second home ownership and bus services. But the plans dismissed as ‘ill-considered’ and a ‘nonsense’ by Cornish nationalists. Mr Clegg said: ‘When the Cornish Assembly is born, it would be up to those who are elected to shape Cornwall’s destiny. 'We could change planning law and council tax so buying up second homes in Cornwall comes with a greater price.’ Nine areas benefiting from the new ‘rural fuel rebate’ are in the Ross, Skye and Lochaber constituency of former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy who is facing a desperate fight with the SNP to hang on to his seat. Two are in Mr Alexander’s seat, and another two are in the constituency of his Lib Dem neighbour John Thurso. Another beneficiary is Lynton, North Devon, in the constituency of former Lib Dem defence minister Sir Nick Harvey, and one of only four seats in England to benefit. Others are in Cumbria, Northumberland and North Yorkshire. Mr Alexander said the move will help up to 125,000 people in areas faced with some of the highest fuel prices in the country. It is the first time the European Union has approved a fuel discount for people living on the UK mainland. Currently, islanders off the coast of Scotland and in the Isles of Scilly are eligible for a 5p discount on petrol and diesel because the cost of transporting fuel there means pump prices are much higher. The scheme will be extended to 17 mainland areas at the end of May. A source close to Mr Alexander denied the scheme was designed to favour Lib Dem seats. He said the selection process had been ‘evidence-based’. ‘This is testament to how hard Danny has fought and campaigned on this issue over many years,’ he said. ‘Danny represents a rural community with many remote areas and so he knows first-hand the extra financial burden this puts on families and businesses facing high fuel costs while relying on cars to travel long distances.’

Detectives investigating the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence have released new CCTV footage which shows two people walking near her home on the evening she vanished. Police believe the footage - recorded just one hour before she spoke with her parents for the last time - could 'hold the key' to unlocking the six-year-old mystery. This afternoon, on the sixth anniversary of the chef's disappearance, the previously unseen clip was broadcast on a giant screen near Miss Lawrence's house in York. In a determined attempt to locate the two murky figures seen on camera, officers have marked the footage with the words 'Is this you?' and 'who is this?'. Police investigating the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence have released CCTV footage showing two people walking near her home on the night she vanished. The first man is seen walking near the rear of her home . One minute later, the man, who is carrying a bag, comes into view again. He stops as a second man walks past before carrying on to Heworth Place, from where the back of Miss Lawrence's home could be accessed . The university chef, 35, was last seen on Wednesday March 18, 2009 and reported missing by her father two days later, when she failed to turn up for her 6am shift at York University. Police believe she was murdered. The new CCTV footage, taken at about 7.15pm, shows a tall man walking down Heworth Place, which leads to the rear of Miss Lawrence's house. The person then returns just over a minute later, with what appears to be a bag over their shoulder. The same figure is then seen stopping in the glare of the streetlight, as someone else walks past. He then continues onto Heworth Place, in the same direction as the second man. The five-minute footage, taken from a security camera on student flats, focuses on the area near the alleyway at the back of Miss Lawrence's terraced house. That area was searched by police last month and is said to be of 'growing significance' to the investigation. The footage was filmed at 7.15pm on Wednesday 18 March 2009, an hour before Miss Lawrence, 35, spoke to her parents on the phone. for the final time . The footage, taken from a security camera on nearby student flats, shows a second man walking nearby . North Yorkshire Police is now appealing to residents for help in identifying the people seen in the footage. Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn, who is leading the investigation, said: 'The footage shows two people who we need to identify.' He continued: 'Of particular interest to the investigation team is the person who is seen walking down Heworth Place which leads to the back of Claudia's house. The university chef was last seen six years ago. Police believe she has been murdered . 'The person goes out of camera shot but reappears just over a minute later. They appear to be carrying a bag over their shoulder. 'As the person heads back towards Heworth Road they suddenly stop when another unknown person walks past. 'Who is this? Do they live locally? What were they doing? 'If you can help to identify either person, please contact us as soon as possible. We are waiting to hear from you.' Yesterday, the detective said his team had made ‘significant progress’ since the force began reviewing the case in 2013. He said the team may make more arrests in the coming weeks and months. He warned anyone who had not yet disclosed details about their relationship with the chef or the events in the days leading up to her disappearance to come forward - or risk arrest. The detective said some people locally knew Miss Lawrence but have kept their relationship secret and some have deliberately lied about a number of issues concerning their association with the chef. The original probe is thought to have worked on the theory Claudia was attacked on her way to work early on the 19th. But the new team believe she may have let someone into her home, who then escaped through the alley. A number of new searches have been carried out since 2013, including a detailed re-examination of Miss Lawrence's house in Heworth, York, and a fingertip search of the alleyway that leads to the back of her home. A 60-year-old man was arrested last year in connection with her disappearance and suspected murder but was later released without charge, while a 47-year-old man remains on bail on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. The previously unseen footage was broadcast this afternoon on a giant screen near Ms Lawrence's house in York in in a bid to try and obtain further clues about the missing chef . The footage shows an area near an alleyway at the rear of Miss Lawrence's terraced house, which was searched by police last month and is said to be of 'growing significance' to the investigation . Police leafleted the area around Miss Lawrence's home earlier this week to encourage residents to attend Heworth Place to watch the footage on the sixth anniversary of her disappearance. Speaking in York, Miss Lawrence's father, Peter, said: 'This clearly shows someone who is very distinctive. 'Whoever it is is very tall. If it's not a man then it's an extremely tall woman. They're acting very strangely, but it could be completely innocent. 'I only hope that whoever it is comes forward and speaks to the police. I think this person could hold the key to finding out what happened that night. Police believe Miss Lawrence - seen on CCTV on her way home from work in 2009 - was murdered . 'Even though this footage was taken earlier on in the evening before I spoke to her on the phone, it doesn't mean it's not someone involved in Claudia's disappearance, or someone who may know something vital. The map showing Miss Lawrence's usual route to work. She did not turn up for her shift . 'The whole purpose of releasing it is to find who was in the area that night and interview them.' Mr Lawrence added: 'If anything, this CCTV shows that the investigation is still very much active and that police are getting the public to look and say something. 'Everything is another step forward to finding out what happened. 'This person in the footage may still be walking around unaware they're part of a major investigation, so as I've said consistently for the past six years anyone who knows anything or was in the area that night should just come forward. 'The fact that this new police team are very experienced has given us more confidence than ever. 'But the fact that anyone might be hampering the investigation by staying silent is just dreadful.' He said: 'To have had six years without her company, without her chat, her smile, her laugh, meeting her for a drink, days out and meals out - it tells. I just miss that companionship, that love so much that it just really hurts so much. 'It galls me that someone out there knows what happened Claudia but has not said anything.' He added: 'Six years on, it does not get any better. All we can hope is that we find out what happened to Claudia. If she was murdered, as the police believe, then I want to be able to bury her. 'As I have been saying for six years, it's the not knowing that makes it worse and it means that the family just cannot move on at all.'

Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn, who is leading the investigation, said: 'The footage shows two people who we need to identify.' He continued: 'Of particular interest to the investigation team is the person who is seen walking down Heworth Place which leads to the back of Claudia's house. The university chef was last seen six years ago. Police believe she has been murdered . 'The person goes out of camera shot but reappears just over a minute later. They appear to be carrying a bag over their shoulder. 'As the person heads back towards Heworth Road they suddenly stop when another unknown person walks past. 'Who is this? Do they live locally? What were they doing? 'If you can help to identify either person, please contact us as soon as possible. We are waiting to hear from you.' Yesterday, the detective said his team had made ‘significant progress’ since the force began reviewing the case in 2013. He said the team may make more arrests in the coming weeks and months. He warned anyone who had not yet disclosed details about their relationship with the chef or the events in the days leading up to her disappearance to come forward - or risk arrest. The detective said some people locally knew Miss Lawrence but have kept their relationship secret and some have deliberately lied about a number of issues concerning their association with the chef. The original probe is thought to have worked on the theory Claudia was attacked on her way to work early on the 19th. But the new team believe she may have let someone into her home, who then escaped through the alley. A number of new searches have been carried out since 2013, including a detailed re-examination of Miss Lawrence's house in Heworth, York, and a fingertip search of the alleyway that leads to the back of her home. A 60-year-old man was arrested last year in connection with her disappearance and suspected murder but was later released without charge, while a 47-year-old man remains on bail on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. The previously unseen footage was broadcast this afternoon on a giant screen near Ms Lawrence's house in York in in a bid to try and obtain further clues about the missing chef . The footage shows an area near an alleyway at the rear of Miss Lawrence's terraced house, which was searched by police last month and is said to be of 'growing significance' to the investigation . Police leafleted the area around Miss Lawrence's home earlier this week to encourage residents to attend Heworth Place to watch the footage on the sixth anniversary of her disappearance. Speaking in York, Miss Lawrence's father, Peter, said: 'This clearly shows someone who is very distinctive. 'Whoever it is is very tall. If it's not a man then it's an extremely tall woman. They're acting very strangely, but it could be completely innocent. 'I only hope that whoever it is comes forward and speaks to the police. I think this person could hold the key to finding out what happened that night. Police believe Miss Lawrence - seen on CCTV on her way home from work in 2009 - was murdered . 'Even though this footage was taken earlier on in the evening before I spoke to her on the phone, it doesn't mean it's not someone involved in Claudia's disappearance, or someone who may know something vital. The map showing Miss Lawrence's usual route to work. She did not turn up for her shift . 'The whole purpose of releasing it is to find who was in the area that night and interview them.' Mr Lawrence added: 'If anything, this CCTV shows that the investigation is still very much active and that police are getting the public to look and say something. 'Everything is another step forward to finding out what happened. 'This person in the footage may still be walking around unaware they're part of a major investigation, so as I've said consistently for the past six years anyone who knows anything or was in the area that night should just come forward. 'The fact that this new police team are very experienced has given us more confidence than ever. 'But the fact that anyone might be hampering the investigation by staying silent is just dreadful.' He said: 'To have had six years without her company, without her chat, her smile, her laugh, meeting her for a drink, days out and meals out - it tells. I just miss that companionship, that love so much that it just really hurts so much. 'It galls me that someone out there knows what happened Claudia but has not said anything.' He added: 'Six years on, it does not get any better. All we can hope is that we find out what happened to Claudia. If she was murdered, as the police believe, then I want to be able to bury her. 'As I have been saying for six years, it's the not knowing that makes it worse and it means that the family just cannot move on at all.'

A boy suffered multiple seizures after overdosing on liquorice sweets. The 10-year-old boy was admitted to hospital in Bologna, Italy, after suffering a seizure. Hours later, doctors reported he suffered another three seizures. He also complained of a bad headache and had high blood pressure. He appeared to be suffering from posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a condition characterized by headache, confusion, seizures and visual loss. A 10-year-old boy suffered four seizures which doctors found was due to his habit of eating 20 liquorice sweets a day for four months . But doctors were baffled as CT and MRI scans ruled out all the major condition that lead to PRES. During a medical examination a week later doctors noticed that the boy’s teeth were black. It transpired that he had been eating at least 20 liquorice sweets each day for the past four months. This mean he was consuming of 2.88 mg/kg of glycyrrhizin or glycyrrhizic acid, one of the active ingredients of liquorice. That volume is well above the World Health OrganiSation’s recommended maximum of 2 mg/kg. This excessive consumption had resulted in his development of high blood pressure, and in turn PRES. After the boy stopped eating the sweets, his treatment was gradually reduced and his blood pressure returned to normal. In light of the case, doctors are now calling for a recommended daily amount to be printed clearly on sweets packets as a safety measures. Last year, MailOnline reported on the story of Keith Ballantine, 68, who was struck down with a rare nerve condition which left him unable to move after eating too many liquorice allsorts . The risk of PRES risk is particularly high for children with a low body weight, Dr Davide Tassinari and colleagues from the University of Bologna, Italy, said. The case was published in Pediatric Neurology. In the past, the US' Food and Drug Administration has warned  black liquorice can lead to irregular heartbeats, and other health problems when consumed by adults in large quantities. The glycyrrhizin causes the kidneys to excrete potassium, and low levels of the compound can make the heart beat dangerously fast or irregularly. Glycyrrhizin also leads to salt and water retention which can be a problem for people with heart failure or high blood pressure, it said. Other studies have shown glycyrrhizinc can increase blood pressure or cause muscle weakness and chronic fatigue. Research has also suggested it can lower testosterone levels in men, affecting their mood and libido. The news comes after MailOnline reported on the story of a grandfather who developed a rare nerve condition which left him unable to move, after eating too many liquorice allsorts. Keith Ballantine, 68, was struck down with Guillain-Barre Syndrome after consuming too many of the sweets. They gave him an upset stomach and doctors believe the antibodies he produced to fight the bug caused his body to react badly - and Mr Ballantine then developed the deadly nerve disease. Within weeks, he was completely paralysed – and he only managed to relearn to walk again a year later.

Zinedine Zidane joined in the clamour for the highly-rated midfielder Paul Pogba by claiming it is 'only logical' that Real Madrid want him on board at the Bernabeu. The France international, who is currently nursing a hamstring injury, extended his contract with the Old Lady until the end of the 2018-19 season back in October, however he has been consistently linked with a move away from Turin. The 22-year-old has attracted interest from a number of top European clubs, with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Madrid all being tipped as potential suitors. Real Madrid Castilla coach Zinedine Zidane is not shocked by his club's interest in compatriot Paul Pogba . Pogba has been a key figure for Juventus this season and is a much sought after talent throughout Europe . Keen on a return to the Premier League, Pogba is reported to be part of a £100million summer wishlist at former club United and is also understood to have been closely monitored by Manchester City and Chelsea. With so much attention surrounding the young star - who has netted seven goals in 22 Serie A appearances this season - Zidane feels such interest should not come as a surprise to those aware of his talents. Juventus midfielder and former United player Pogba is also on Louis van Gaal's radar at Old Trafford . 'When we are talking about a player like Pogba, it is only logical Real Madrid are interested in signing him,' Zidane told French channel Canal+. 'He is a player with immense potential, who still has an important margin for improvement. 'He is still young and has an exciting future ahead of him. 'Where Pogba will play next season? I don't know the answer to that question. You will have to ask him.'

It is a brave statement written from the heart, by a young woman fighting for her life. 'I am happy, I am alive and I was built to survive'. The words are part of a heartbreaking video created by young mother Abi  Rounds, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 22. After just two days to digest the news with her closest family members - including her mother, father and boyfriend - she decided to reveal her diagnosis to other loved ones via an emotional video on her Facebook page. The clip has now been watched almost 9,000 times all over the world and Miss Rounds said the messages of support have helped her face a double mastectomy and chemotherapy. Scroll down for video . Abi Rounds, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 22, shared her terrible news with loved ones via a video she uploaded to Facebook . In the video, the mother-of-one (pictured here with daughter Ruby May) who has watched her own mother and aunt fight the disease, vowed to do everything it takes to beat the disease . The video comprises a series of clips such as the above, explaining to her loved ones what has happened . Her brave words have been watched by thousands of people after the video went viral . The now 23-year-old, who has watched her own mother and aunt fight the disease, said: 'When they told me I had cancer It was terrifying. I I felt sick and the worst went through my head. 'As soon as I came home from hospital, I got my two-year-old daughter from my sister who was looking after her, and got my cousin and sister to come to my house and I told them the news. 'But from there on I thought that's it, I'm going to do this - nothing is going to stop me now. 'From that moment I've got on well, I'm really positive and the support has been overwhelming. 'People around me knew there was something wrong and it was getting to the point where I was having to repeat myself - it was too much. 'I thought maybe if I do a video I can get my message across,' said Miss Rounds, from Leominster, Herefordshire, . 'It was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done, but looking back it is one of the best things too. 'The support has been absolutely amazing and has really got me through the tough times. 'It has been incredible getting messages from strangers telling me to keep strong. Miss Rounds was just 11 when her mother Julie, 46, was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a single mastectomy. Two years ago her aunt had the same treatment for a tumour. Her own cancer was diagnosed last December. Miss Rounds has now shaved off her blonde hair and is undergoing chemotherapy following surgery . Miss Rounds - along with various family members - has also raised more than £2,000 for Breast Cancer UK by shaving their heads . Miss Rounds had been watching TV when she felt an itch on her right breast and found two lumps. After a GP appointment she was referred to Hereford County Hospital where doctors went against convention to perform a biopsy because of her family history. Just a week later medics asked her to come back - with family members for support - and delivered the news she had two cancerous lumps, grade two and three. 'It was a shock to be told - I didn't expect it at all,' said Miss Rounds. 'I thought it was nothing to worry about because I was so young, fit and healthy, so I didn't think it could be cancer. 'They don't normally do a biopsy until you are 25, but because of my family history I had one. 'They rang me and told me to make an appointment and they said did I have someone to come with me, and I had a feeling.' In the video - which has been viewed nearly 9,000 times, said: 'The reason I am posting this is because I have had so many lovely kind messages off so many people. Miss Rounds (with her daughter) was just 11 when her mother Julie, 46, was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a single mastectomy . In the video, she says: 'I never thought I would be sitting in the same position as my mum, at the age of 22, getting told I have breast cancer. It is scary, and it is a shock, and you just don't think it will ever happen to you' 'I just thought instead of me repeating myself to everyone, this would be the easiest way for me to say it, and you will all find out sooner or later. 'I never thought I would be sitting in the same position as my mum, at the age of 22, getting told I have breast cancer. 'It is scary, and it is a shock, and you just don't think it will ever happen to you. 'But with the support of my amazing family, fantastic friends, and my daughter, I will do that and I will kick cancer's butt!' After a family Christmas with partner Jamie, 23, and daughter Ruby May, two, she had a double mastectomy in a four hour operation on January 13. However further tests have revealed the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes, so she is now undergoing chemotherapy. 'I'm doing really well and I just want people to know that you can have cancer at this young age, and always just go and get checked'. Miss Rounds - along with various family members - has also raised more than £2,000 for Breast Cancer UK by shaving their heads. To donate to her cause, visit: www.justgiving.com/abigialjeanrounds .

The now 23-year-old, who has watched her own mother and aunt fight the disease, said: 'When they told me I had cancer It was terrifying. I I felt sick and the worst went through my head. 'As soon as I came home from hospital, I got my two-year-old daughter from my sister who was looking after her, and got my cousin and sister to come to my house and I told them the news. 'But from there on I thought that's it, I'm going to do this - nothing is going to stop me now. 'From that moment I've got on well, I'm really positive and the support has been overwhelming. 'People around me knew there was something wrong and it was getting to the point where I was having to repeat myself - it was too much. 'I thought maybe if I do a video I can get my message across,' said Miss Rounds, from Leominster, Herefordshire, . 'It was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done, but looking back it is one of the best things too. 'The support has been absolutely amazing and has really got me through the tough times. 'It has been incredible getting messages from strangers telling me to keep strong. Miss Rounds was just 11 when her mother Julie, 46, was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a single mastectomy. Two years ago her aunt had the same treatment for a tumour. Her own cancer was diagnosed last December. Miss Rounds has now shaved off her blonde hair and is undergoing chemotherapy following surgery . Miss Rounds - along with various family members - has also raised more than £2,000 for Breast Cancer UK by shaving their heads . Miss Rounds had been watching TV when she felt an itch on her right breast and found two lumps. After a GP appointment she was referred to Hereford County Hospital where doctors went against convention to perform a biopsy because of her family history. Just a week later medics asked her to come back - with family members for support - and delivered the news she had two cancerous lumps, grade two and three. 'It was a shock to be told - I didn't expect it at all,' said Miss Rounds. 'I thought it was nothing to worry about because I was so young, fit and healthy, so I didn't think it could be cancer. 'They don't normally do a biopsy until you are 25, but because of my family history I had one. 'They rang me and told me to make an appointment and they said did I have someone to come with me, and I had a feeling.' In the video - which has been viewed nearly 9,000 times, said: 'The reason I am posting this is because I have had so many lovely kind messages off so many people. Miss Rounds (with her daughter) was just 11 when her mother Julie, 46, was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a single mastectomy . In the video, she says: 'I never thought I would be sitting in the same position as my mum, at the age of 22, getting told I have breast cancer. It is scary, and it is a shock, and you just don't think it will ever happen to you' 'I just thought instead of me repeating myself to everyone, this would be the easiest way for me to say it, and you will all find out sooner or later. 'I never thought I would be sitting in the same position as my mum, at the age of 22, getting told I have breast cancer. 'It is scary, and it is a shock, and you just don't think it will ever happen to you. 'But with the support of my amazing family, fantastic friends, and my daughter, I will do that and I will kick cancer's butt!' After a family Christmas with partner Jamie, 23, and daughter Ruby May, two, she had a double mastectomy in a four hour operation on January 13. However further tests have revealed the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes, so she is now undergoing chemotherapy. 'I'm doing really well and I just want people to know that you can have cancer at this young age, and always just go and get checked'. Miss Rounds - along with various family members - has also raised more than £2,000 for Breast Cancer UK by shaving their heads. To donate to her cause, visit: www.justgiving.com/abigialjeanrounds .

A new survey of voters has revealed the TV characters they most associate with party leaders with David Cameron described as Dick Dastardly, while Ed Miliband is compared to Mr Bean. The poll, commissioned by former Tory treasurer Lord Ashcroft also saw Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg likened to Fred from Scooby Doo. While Ukip's Nigel Farage was associated with tough-guy actor Ray Winstone. A new poll has shown that voters most associate David Cameron with the Wacky Races cartoon character Dick Dastardly, right . Voters likened Labour leader Ed Miliband, left, to comic character Mr Bean, right, played by Rowan Atkinson . The survey comes as the poll that a study of marginal constituencies suggests Labour and the Conservatives are heading for electoral 'deadlock' in May, with neither party able to govern. It also revealed that a dramatic surge by the SNP looks set to claim Gordon Brown’s seat and rob Labour of a Commons majority. It suggests the Scottish nationalists are on course for a landslide in May, winning as many as 56 of Scotland’s 59 seats – up from just six at present. The SNP surge would claim seats held by a string of household names, including Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and former Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy. The Tories are also in danger of losing their one Scottish seat. The poll suggests that Labour and the Conservatives will be tied on 272 seats each – well short of the 326 needed to command a Commons majority. Fred from Scooby Doo, right, was the TV character the voters polled most associated with Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg . The poll also revealed that Ukip leader Nigel Farage, left, is associated with tough guy actor Ray Winstone, right . Lord Ashcroft said the astonishing surge by the SNP in the wake of last year’s independence referendum had thrown a ‘giant spanner in Labour’s works’. The poll suggests a weak Ed Miliband government propped up by the Scottish nationalists could be likely. The two parties would have a combined total of 328 seats – producing a Commons majority of just three. Former SNP leader Alex Salmond, who is planning a return to Westminster, could become deputy prime minister in any deal. His party has ruled out supporting the Conservatives. Gordon Brown’s seat, where the former prime minister is stepping down, currently has one of the biggest Labour majorities in the country . And it has warned that it will demand a ruinously high price from Labour, including billions more in spending and borrowing, home rule for Scotland and the scrapping of Britain’s Trident nuclear deterrent. Gordon Brown’s Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath seat, where the former prime minister is stepping down, currently has one of the biggest Labour majorities in the country. But the new poll forecasts an incredible 28.5 per cent swing to the SNP, giving the nationalists a comfortable six-point lead. In Edinburgh South West, where former chancellor Alistair Darling is also stepping down, the poll predicts an SNP win with a 22 per cent swing. The Scottish nationalists are also set to win Ross, Skye and Lochaber, which Mr Kennedy has held since 1983. New Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy is forecast to cling on in East Renfrewshire – but he could be one of only two Labour MPs remaining. Polling was also conducted in a number of marginal seats in England and Wales. The Tories are set to hold on in Vale of Glamorgan as well as Colne Valley, West Yorkshire, where they are narrowly ahead. But Labour is edging towards victory in two other Tory-held marginals – Norwich North and High Peak, in Derbyshire.

A high-profile RSPCA prosecution of the renowned Cattistock Hunt in Dorset has spectacularly collapsed amid claims that the hunt was the victim of a politically inspired campaign, funded by a mystery backer. The Cattistock's joint master Will Bryer has accused the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – which brought the prosecution – of co-ordinating a campaign of harassment and surveillance over more than three years, in a failed attempt to prove the hunt had broken the law. He also claimed a wealthy anti-hunting businessman intent on landing a 'prize scalp' had bankrolled surveillance of him, his employees and hunt followers, saying: 'We believe the campaign is funded by a Dorset-based company. A high-profile RSPCA prosecution of the renowned Cattistock Hunt in Dorset has spectacularly collapsed amid claims that the hunt was the victim of a politically inspired campaign . Hunt saboteurs at our meets this year were all wearing T-shirts advertising the firm. We don't believe that to be a coincidence but a statement.' The animal rights organisation, which has been criticised for spending £22.5 million pursuing animal welfare prosecutions last year, formally withdrew its case on Friday – after admitting it had no realistic chance of a conviction. Mr Bryer, whose joint master of the Cattistock is one of the richest women in Britain, the Honourable Mrs Charlotte Townshend, claimed the campaign had been 'focused and sophisticated'. He went on to say: 'Despite the endless footage taken of us by so-called covert investigators, this is the only time anyone associated with the Cattistock has ever faced a charge and now it has been dropped. Cattistock's joint master Will Bryer (pictured) claimed a wealthy anti-hunting businessman intent on landing a 'prize scalp' had bankrolled surveillance of him . 'I'm afraid the time has long passed when we thought these people were seriously interested in the law. As far as we are concerned, this is just another way of attacking people who participate in hunting.' Yesterday, the pro-hunting Countryside Alliance said the RSPCA was at a crossroads, and would have to decide whether to continue to bring what it described as 'malicious' cases or 'embrace sanity and change tactics'. Mr Bryer's solicitor, Jamie Foster, claimed that the case had been flawed from the start. He explained: 'There is video footage of my client laying legal trails before and after the alleged breach of the hunting ban which was not disclosed to us by the RSPCA.' He said the laying of a trail, or a scent which the hounds can track rather than chasing a live animal, showed that the Cattistock had behaved responsibly, not recklessly as the prosecution claimed. Cattistock chairman Robert Atkinson said: 'We are very pleased that common sense has prevailed and the case has been dropped. The hunt and all its staff, in particular Will as master, make every effort to hunt within the law and be seen to do so. We are glad that our stance has been so demonstrably and categorically vindicated by the court.' The RSPCA has the power to bring its own prosecutions rather than rely on the police or the Crown Prosecution Service. However last October, a report commissioned by the charity recommended abandoning the policy and leaving the job to the CPS, which has more expertise. An animal rights organisation formally withdrew its case against the hunt (pcitured) on Friday – after admitting it had no realistic chance of a conviction . Last year, The Mail on Sunday reported that the RSPCA had spent £22.5 million on prosecutions in two years, and had been obliged to take out an overdraft facility with its bank, Coutts, for the first time in its 190-year history. Discussing the dropped prosecution yesterday, an RSPCA spokesman said: 'We have not at any stage been made aware of a trail being laid or of any alleged footage of such a trail being laid. But having considered all the evidence now available, we concluded there no longer remains a realistic prospect of securing a conviction.' Addressing the Cattistock's claim that the RSPCA had mounted a campaign of surveillance, he said: 'This is an outrageous slur and completely untrue. We did not monitor this hunt. The RSPCA does not monitor any hunts.' He went on to reject the claim that the prosecution had been effectively paid for by a wealthy backer, insisting: 'This prosecution was funded by the RSPCA.' Philip Mansbridge, the UK director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare – which shot the disputed footage and provided it to the RSPCA – said: 'We are very disappointed that the case has been dropped. We do understand the reasons and the difficulties in getting these cases through the courts. But we stand by our evidence completely; this case was dropped, not lost.' He went on to say: 'We have now reached the reluctant conclusion that having tried everything under the current judicial system, we now need to make changes to strengthen the Hunting Act. Time and time again, hunts flout the law and escape prosecution by using the false alibi that they were trail hunting. The pro-hunt lobby continually drag out cases and waste public and charity funds.' Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Common sense would suggest that when molten lava meets a sheet of ice it will simply melt through. But geologist Professor Jeff Karson and artist Professor Bob Wysocki from Syracuse University in New York found that the results can be far more spectacular. Using a lava furnace to heat gravel to temperatures of more than 1,100°C (2,000°F) they were able to pour it onto a slab of ice to produce a seething, bubbling mass of molten rock. Lava turns ice directly into steam which bubbles up through the molten rock to form bizarre glass bubbles . Professor Karson, who has been pouring lava in a series of experiments to better understand how it behaves and forms geological formations, described it as 'scrambled eggs from hell'. Rather than melting straight through the ice, the lava instead flows rapidly on top of it on a cushion of steam. Steam from the ice below bubbles up through the molten rock as it tries to escape, forming a layer of glassy bubbles. Professor Karson said: 'The first guess is that it is going to explode or it is tunnel down and make a hole in the ice. Of course it didn't do any of those things. 'It did things we just didn't really expect.' Professor Karson and Professor Wysocki have together set up the Lava Project at Syracuse University's department of Earth Sciences to study how lava behaves in different situations. They create lava by melting basalt gravel in a giant gas fired furnace and then pouring it over sand, ice and through water. According to Alistair Linsell, a nuclear chemist working with EDF Energy and a science presenter with the Science Channel, the extreme heat of the lava is what causes the strange formations to form when it hits the ice. He said: 'The lava is so hot that when it is poured on to the ice, the ice turns not into water but straight into steam. 'The formation of all of this steam helps the lava to flow. It is sitting on top of a blanket of steam rather than the ice itself, this means the friction between the lava and the ice surface is very low. The lava flows rapidly across the surface of the ice on a cushion of escaping steam it creates as it moves . 'As the lava cools we start to get a thick black layer forming on top and that starts to trap those bubbles of superheated steam inside the rock. 'It is kind of like a natural form of glass blowing.' The team used a specially created lava furnace to heat basaltic gravel to temperatures of more than 1,100°C .

They say don’t count your chickens, but you’d be excused for counting the legs on this chicken caught on tape in Thailand. The bizarre video features some bemused locals laughing while recording a four-legged chicken wandering around looking for food. Completely indifferent to the situation, the chicken’s two extra deformed legs trail behind it and drag along the floor as it walks. A woman picks up the chicken and brings it into better view of the camera and the bird seems perplexed by the attention it has gained. The video concludes with a close-up shot of the chicken minding its own business, seemingly content with its additional body parts. Surprisingly, four-legged chickens are not as uncommon as many people would think. The chicken appears completely indifferent to having two extra legs as it wanders around and drags them behind it . The video concludes with the filmmaker going in for a close-up shot of the chicken's extra legs . In 2005, a live chicken was found among 36,000 other birds at a farm in America. Named Henrietta, the bird managed to go unnoticed for 18 months at Brendle Farms in Somerset, Pennsylvania, before it discovered by a foreman. Farmer Mark Brendle's 13-year-old daughter Ashley named the chicken and asked to keep it as a family pet. The bird had two normal front legs but behind those were two more which were dragged behind when Henrietta walked, exactly like the chicken featured in this video. The condition called Polymelia is a birth defect that results in individuals having more limbs, which are usually shrunken or deformed.

Ashley Judd is vowing to press charges against anyone who used vulgar and threatening language to harass her on Twitter last Sunday during the Southeastern Conference basketball championship. The 46-year-old Insurgent actress and longtime University of Kentucky fan received violent threats on social media after she posted a tweet saying that she thought the University of Arkansas was 'playing dirty' while watching the team play her alma mater. 'I am pressing charges,' she told MSNBC's Thomas Roberts on Monday. Scroll down for video . Taking a stand: Ashley Judd told MSNBC's Thomas Roberts that she plans on pressing charges against those who harassed her on Twitter during the Southeastern Conference basketball championship . Online trolls: Ashley explained that after she tweeted that she thought the University of Arkansas was 'playing dirty' during the game, she received hateful comments that were extremely explicit and offensive . Ashley explained that if she was in a 'more calm state of mind' she would have perhaps phrased her initial tweet about Arkansas differently but noted that people should not be aggressively harassing one another on social media .

Tottenham will target players aged 26 and under this summer in a move that rubber-stamps Mauricio Pochettino’s policy of giving youth a platform to shine.

The purchase of Roberto Soldado from Valencia has not worked out as either party would have liked . Having sold Gareth Bale to Real Madrid, chairman Daniel Levy spent £68million on proven internationals in Erik Lamela, Roberto Soldado and Paulinho — but they have failed to impress, and the club are prepared for a major loss if they can offload Soldado and Paulinho in the summer. Pochettino has shown his penchant for signing hungry and unproven talent; the captures of Dele Alli, 18, Eric Dier, 21, and DeAndre Yedlin, 21, are testament to that. Erik Lamela has also been disappointing for the north London club having arrived from Roma .

It's believed the burglary occurred sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning. Harris, who opened her store last November, said she was 'angry' and 'saddened' by the theft because the rooster was a one-of-a-kind, specially commissioned piece.

Wayne Rooney responded in style to revelations that he had been knocked-out while boxing in his own kitchen, by leading Manchester United to victory, scoring a wonderful goal and producing a punch-drunk celebration. A resounding 3-0 win against Tottenham kept United in the top four of the Barclays Premier League and lifted spirits at Old Trafford. The goals came from Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Rooney, who had been in the spotlight on a day when The Sun broadcast video footage of him being floored by a punch from Stoke defender Phil Bardsley during an impromptu sparring session. Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney re-enacted a video of him boxing a former team-mate . Rooney punched the air, before falling backwards in a similar fashion to what can be seen in the video . Rooney manages to keep a straight face as he falls directly backwards onto the Old Trafford turf . The two footballers, wearing boxing gloves, square up in Rooney's kitchen and spar for a few seconds before Bardsley lands a jab to put the England and United skipper flat on his back, seemingly unconscious. Rooney voiced his disappointment that a private moment, filmed inside his home on February 22, had been made public, a view shared by Louis van Gaal, who was clearly irritated by the story and seemed unperturbed by the nature of his captain's pastime. After scoring United's third against Spurs, Rooney let fly with a flurry of fake punches and fell on his back, much as he did in the video clip taken last month, although the Old Trafford turf seemed to provide a far softer landing than his kitchen tiles. 'That's the world we live in today,' said Rooney. 'It was a few mates in a private house which has somehow managed to get on the front page of a national newspaper. I have to accept that. It was me and a few friends joking around. 'It's my own home, I know it's got out but it's not public. It's what friends do. They mess around in the house and unfortunately it has made the front page of a national newspaper. 'I've just been focused on the game, it's more interesting for other people rather than for myself.

'I was aware of the speech but was not in the meeting because the captain has his own privilege,' said Van Gaal. 'The players knew this game was massive and the captain has to do something to help the players, the manager or the club. I was very pleased. 'I don't want to answer questions about what happened. What is this world, twisted? I don't have any comment. It is ridiculous that we have to talk about such things.' The Dutchman was happier to discuss Rooney's performance. 'It's always how Wayne plays,' said Van Gaal. 'With a lot of commitment and that's nice to see. 'We have waited a long time for such a victory, with a very good performance against a very good team, so I am very pleased.

After a weekend when Chelsea and Manchester City dropped points, Van Gaal declared United in the race for second, but would not declare a late charge for the title. 'We go step by step, it's a rat race,' he said. 'We have made a big step but we have to go to Liverpool next, also a competitor of ours.' Rooney added: 'The first half was probably the best 45 minutes we've played this season. In the second half we didn't want to lose advantage of the three goals we had. We defended really well and made sure we've seen the game out. 'We knew it was a big game. With Manchester City losing and Southampton drawing it was a big game for us.

Hidden in a vault in Marrakesh, it has been one of the most highly-anticipated albums in music history. And tonight, after six years, the Wu-Tang Clan finally opened the handcrafted silver box that holds their unheard record Once Upon A Time In Shaolin - before sealing it away once more. In an attempt to break free from the Spotify and YouTube era of freely-shared music, rap's most influential collective is selling the 31-track double LP to one bidder for millions of dollars. After a private online-only sale this month through art dealers Paddle8 - which employs Britain's Princess Eugenie - the buyer cannot share the album for at least 88 years. DailyMail.com was there with the group's de facto leader RZA, producer Cilvaringz, a small group of prospective buyers and half a dozen selected fans in Queens, New York City, for the first and last time any of the album would be played before the year 2103. Scroll down for video . Unprecendented: This is the Wu-Tang Clan's record Once Upon A Time In Shaolin that was played on Monday night to a small group before it is sold and kept secret until the year 2103. It has been six years in the making . The record comes in a silver, jeweled box with a specially-designed wax seal and a leather-bound book . The box: It was displayed for potential buyers who are expected to pay millions to obtain the sole incarnation . The Staten Island-born group revived the East Coast as an epicenter for hip hop in the early 1990s . Confirming the rumors that she would make a guest appearance, Cher's voice bellowed out during the 13-minute extract. And though it wasn't played, DailyMail.com understands it to be true that Barcelona FC players also make a cameo appearance. Typical of the group's first record 36 Chambers, it features styles that shook the music scene in 1994 - soul samples, clips of dialogue from movies, and fierce rapping over sound effects of rain and thunder. Reiterating its own grandeur, there are regular skits and pieces of dialogue that say, 'this has never been done before.' All of the Staten Island clan's eight living members appear on it - but had no idea what they were recording when they laid down their parts. The record casing was handcrafted from silver and wood by artists in Morocco, with a seal designed and printed by wax-smiths in Serbia. 'This has never been done before,' RZA told DailyMail.com after playing the record. 'Music is just handed out now, the industry is in crisis. People feel like they deserve to have it for free. This is art. You can take a picture of the Mona Lisa but that's not art. 'The same with this: you can never reproduce it - this is the final thing.' The pre-sale event played up to the idea. Those invited were subjected to airport-style security checks, and electronic devices were confiscated. In a dark room, buyers spoke to auctioneers as light symphony music played. The nickel silver and jeweled case with black cow leather lining was sat on a podium under spotlight, with two bodyguards standing either side. While some were fans, others were advisers who hailed from as far as Asia to inspect the 'artwork'. One adviser for a Chinese collector, who wished to remain anonymous, told DailyMail.com collectors are clamouring to get their hands on the record and its silver box - whether they like Wu-Tang or not. The box comes inside a cedar wood treasure chest covered with black cow leather and light beige velvet lining. Inside, is a cinematic-style record, plus a leather-bound 174-page manuscript printed on gilded Fedrigoni Marina parchment with lyrics, credits, tales about the recording. The adviser said: 'Someone said it would be worth $1 million. That's nothing. This is something completely different; completely new. I don't think I could put a price on it. 'The concept has not been seen before - and from the biggest rap collective in history... It is huge.' The Wu-Tang Clan formed in the early 1990s, reviving the East Coast's reputation as an epicenter for hip hop. RZA - pronounced 'rizza' - drew together nine MCs, including his own cousins who adopted the pseudonyms Ol' Dirty Bastard and GZA. The remaining slots were filled by Raekwon, Masta Killa, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Inspectah Deck. Ambition: RZA, né Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, wants the long-awaited album to be treated like a work of art . Unlike their other albums, it has not been produced by the group's de facto leader RZA (pictured) but by his apprentice, Moroccan rapper and producer Tarik 'Cilvaringz' Azzougar . The new album pays homage to the Wu-Tang Clan's history and meteoric rise to dominate the record industry . With industry domination in their sights, RZA saw that each member of the Clan was signed with different production companies, while maintaining their loyalty as a group. Their first album, 36 Chambers, was hailed as unprecedented, with samples from soul music and kung fu movies. Spanning 128 minutes, the stories and rhymes were largely recorded in Staten Island, New York, and hark back to their original mid-90s lyrics about the Shaolin. It features all eight of the original members plus some affiliate rappers. And as for Cher's cameo appearance, RZA said: 'Did nobody ever have a crush on Cher? She's the ultimate. Ain't nobody like Cher.' Unlike their other albums, it has not been produced by the group's de facto leader RZA but by his apprentice, Moroccan rapper and producer Tarik 'Cilvaringz' Azzougarh - a Wu-Tang fan who visited the group's New York office five times until they took him on. Cilvaringz explains he and RZA were already developing the concept of a record charting the Wu's history when the music industry changed completely. Once Upon A Time In Shaolin has been stored in a handmade silver and nickel box embossed with the Wu's Shaolin symbol and a decorative design by Yahya, a British-Moroccan artist . Collectively, the group has produced seven albums - sometimes within months of each other . Within five years singles plummeted to the price of $0.99, and artists were streaming their work for free. Simultaneously, Cilvaringz was chairing an art festival in Morocco, where he saw three tent poles bought for thousands of dollars. 'That [was] the first time I asked myself: "Why and how are these artists valued at such a price?" People like Dre or Kanye or RZA are geniuses in what they do, and their music is valued at 99 cents. 'No disrespect to Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Damien Hirst, or any other artists, but if you walk down the streets and ask people randomly, "Do you know Damien Hirst? Do you know Basquiat?" they'll say "Who?" If you say, "Do you know Dr. Dre? Do you know Kanye?," they'll say "Yeah."' The album, he says, pays homage to the Wu-Tang Clan's history and meteoric rise to dominate the record industry. The group became known for their business genius as they created a collective but each had their own solo contracts, thereby dominating the recording industry . 36 Chambers: This was the collective's debut album which revolutionized the hip hop scene . And despite years of disputes erupting between the clan's members, RZA insists that there was 'no tension' when he informed his brethren he had been working on a secret album, adding 'the eight members, excluding myself, are the most talented MCs I have ever encountered. They are true artists because they aren't taught. You can't teach art.' Speaking later with Genius executive editor Sasha Frere-Jones, RZA described his ambitions: 'Maybe Richard Branson will just buy it and put it on one of his planes and send it to another planet. That'd be dope!' However, Cilvaringz conceded, the fact that the buyer cannot commercialize it means that they could distribute it for free. 'I hope they don't,' RZA said. 'This is unique and something only has value if it is rare.'

Reading boss Steve Clarke and Bradford counterpart Phil Parkinson have both criticised the decision to play their FA Cup quarter-final replay on a Monday evening. The FA have said they are powerless to move the game due to UEFA’s threat of heavy financial punishment. The clubs must play again at the Madejski Stadium a week Monday, just 48 hours after they play league fixtures. Reading manager Steve Clarke is bemused by the decision to host a quarter-final replay on a Monday . Reading were held to a goalless draw by Bradofrd in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday . Andrew Davies goes close to giving Bradford the lead with his header in the second half at Valley Parade . The tie cannot be staged in midweek as it would clash with Champions League games. UEFA took away £1million of television revenue owed to English clubs and fined the FA £42,000 two years ago for scheduling games that clashed with European ties. FA sources admit their hands are tied, but Clarke and Parkinson believe the situation devalues the FA’s own competition. ‘My question to the FA is why,’ said Clarke. ‘I know that people says it’s UEFA but the FA have to be stronger. I just find it strange that they don’t protect their own showpiece competition.’ Parkinson secured Bradford’s place in the FA semi-final draw for the first time in 104 years following a fiercely fought goalless draw, and he said: ‘I think it’s a little bit disrespectful to the FA Cup and the magnitude of this game coming up. ‘It’s a history-making game. To have to play it so quickly is frustrating.’ Davies reacts after missing his chance to give Bradford the lead against Reading on Saturday in the FA Cup . Davies looks on as the ball heads for the Reading goal during the FA Cup quarter-final tie at Valley Parade . The ball goes wide as the score remained 0-0 and a replay will be held a week on Monday .

Reading's FA Cup quarter-final replay with Bradford is on Monday March 16 . Both teams are in league action only two days before the replay . Steve Clarke believes the date makes it hard for them to field strong sides .

Jasmine Coleman, 12, has been found safe and well some 50 miles from her home . A 12-year-old girl who went missing from her family home at 2am amid fears she was driven away by an 'older man' has been found safe and well. Jasmine Coleman was reported as missing this morning after disappearing from her home in Lancing, West Sussex. The child was found this afternoon following a police appeal some 50miles away in Croydon, south east London. Police feared she may have been driven to London by an older man when they launched an appeal for information this morning. The schoolgirl had not been seen since 11.30pm on Friday night. Sussex Police said she may have been talking with someone on FaceTime before disappearing at around 2am. The force launched a public appeal for information on her whereabouts on Saturday morning. In it, she was described as fair with long, blonde hair and as having possibly been wearing black riding trousers and a polo shirt or a Paisley pattern dress. On Saturday afternoon the force confirmed she had been found safe and well in Croydon but could not confirm the circumstances under which police located her. No one has been arrested in connection with her disappearance. Shortly after 4pm a spokesman said: 'Jasmine Coleman, the 12-year-old girl from Lancing reported missing from home during the early hours of Saturday (21 March) was found safe and well later the same day in Croydon.

Dentists are profiting from a huge rise in cosmetic treatment as more of us spend thousands of pounds to get a winning smile. The top-earning private dentists in the UK made a collective turnover of almost £1billion in 2014 – up 22 per cent on 2010 – with treatments including ‘smile analyses’ and sonic polishing, research shows. Analysis by finance provider LDF says the rise is because Britons are shelling out thousands of pounds for private treatment. One of the increasingly popular procedures is so-called smile analysis, when a dentist assesses the width of the mouth, its symmetry and the extent to which teeth are even and white. Dentists are profiting from a huge rise in cosmetic treatment as more of us spend thousands of pounds to get a winning smile . The process typically costs £100. But any subsequent treatment such as braces, crowns being fitted on uneven teeth or whitening can be up to £10,000 depending on what a patient decided to have done. Other procedures include sonic clean and polishing – for about £130 a session – which uses air and tiny particles to blast teeth and remove stains caused by coffee, chocolate and wine. Some private dentists have renamed their surgeries ‘spas’, greeting patients with scented candles in the waiting room and offering facials, foot massages and aromatherapy. Separate figures from the British Association of Cosmetic Dentistry estimate the number of people seeking such treatments is growing by 40 per cent a year. Experts say adults are becoming more self-conscious and worry that their personal life and career may be hindered if they don’t have nice teeth. Britons are shelling out thousands of pounds for private dental treatment . Also, medical advances have replaced traditional train-track braces with clear, barely noticeable devices costing £6,000. Many are having these fitted in the run-up to major events where they will be extensively photographed such as family weddings or milestone birthdays. Peter Alderson, of LDF, said: ‘British people have taken to cosmetic dentistry in a big way, and that’s reflected in rising incomes for top dentists. ‘Increasing numbers of dental patients are starting to explore cosmetic treatments like laser whitening, and are willing to pay significant amounts of money for cutting-edge services, especially if they are delivered in a more exclusive, private clinic-style environment. ‘The biggest dental groups are able to invest very heavily in their practices’ equipment, furnishings and IT systems, and that has raised the stakes in the profession markedly. The younger generation of dental clients – those that are more comfortable with paying for cosmetic dentistry – expects enhanced services such as online booking and text message reminders as well as cutting-edge treatments. ‘If dentists want to make the most of the demand for cosmetic dentistry, they need the type of apparatus and environment that brings in clients, but that type of equipment routinely costs tens of thousands of pounds.’ One popular procedure is ‘cosmetic bonding’, in which grey fillings or chipped teeth are painted over to make them almost invisible, costing up to £1,000. Laser whitening is increasingly being offered for about £100. Nissit Patel, of Progressive Dentistry in Putney, south-west London, said: ‘Over the past five years, I have seen a huge increase in adult orthodontics, primarily for cosmetic reasons. In my practice, the business has at least doubled in the past three years.’ He added that many of his patients came to him shortly before weddings or birthdays.

A new tax by the European Commission could see 80 per cent of small cider producers affected . Four out of five British cider makers would be put out of business after a new ruling by the European Commission. The UK government was formally told last week to change its current excise duty, which means cider makers that produce less than 70 hectolitres (12,000 pints) a year do not have to pay duty. Changes to the 39-year-old exemption is likely to affect 80 per cent of Britain's 480 cider and perry makers, according to the National Association of Cider Makers (NACM). In a statement, the European Commission, said it was 'unanimously agreed' that the UK excise duty scheme contravenes EU legislation. It said: 'EU excise duty rules oblige Member States to levy an excise duty on alcohol and alcoholic beverages. 'There are no provisions which would provide for an exception to the general obligation to levy excise duty in respect of cider and perry made for sale by small domestic producers.' David Kaspar runs a small apple juice, cider and perry business in Brookthorpe, Gloucestershire, and makes under 170 hectolitres of cider from the 16 acre orchard to sell at markets and a pub. He told the Observer the tax introduction would be 'another nail in the coffin'. 'The exemption is fundamental to keeping craft cider-making going. If we had to pay an extra £2,500 it would probably stop us risking making wooden-barrel cider and perry because it's too fragile. 'It would be very sad if the tax came in. Not just for financial reasons. It would hasten the demise of traditional orchards and would be another nail in the coffin of traditional cider-making and would be a loss to the natural habitat.' The volume of cider produced annually in the UK is in excess of 6 million hectolitres or 130 million UK gallons, according NACM. Some have blamed the industrial-scale cider makers who account for the production of 130 million gallons of cider in the UK every year for the intervention by the EC, according to the paper. The European Commission, said it was 'unanimously agreed' that the UK excise duty scheme contravenes EU legislation. Currently those that produce less than 70 hectolitres do not have to pay an excise duty . Simon Russell, spokesperson for NACM, told the Financial Times: 'We will make the positive case for the effect of the exemption to be protected whether by retaining the existing legislation or by other means.' The Treasury has been given two months to respond to the commission without a 'satisfactory response'  the Commission may refer the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union. A Treasury spokesperson said: 'The government's support for small cider makers has helped create a diverse and vibrant market, improving consumer choice and creating jobs. 'While we will study the commission's arguments carefully, our support for this industry will continue.'

Suresh Raina hit an unbeaten 110 as India defeated Zimbabwe by six-wickets to ensure they finished the group stages unbeaten. Earlier, Brendan Taylor had hit an impressive 138 in his final match for Zimbabwe before moving to England to play for county side Nottinghamshire as a Kolpak player. However, the 29-year-old was denied a fairytale ending by Raina and MS Dohni as the reigning champions were pushed hard to ensure they kept up their winning momentum. Suresh Raina of India celebrates after scoring a century during India's victory against Zimbabwe on Saturday . Raina waves his bat in celebration as captain MS Dhoni congratulates his team-mate . Despite being an emotional day for Taylor, who had spoken about his sadness at leaving the international stage, he became the first Zimbabwean player ever to hit back-to-back World Cup centuries. And, on a record-breaking day Taylor passed his mentor Alistair Campbell for the most one-day international hundreds scored with his eighth ton. For India, they passed their first real test as they stretched their World Cup winning streak to 10 – behind only Australia on 25. On a green wicket, batting first always seemed like the ideal option but having won the toss Dhoni said he wanted his side to be tested and face a chase, so chose to bowl. It seemed unlikely that Dhoni was going to be granted his wish as his consistently impressive trio of fast bowlers, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma, each took an early wicket to reduce Zimbabwe to 33-3. Plenty of supporters were still finding their way into Eden Park when a fuller Yadav delivery caught the outside edge of Hamilton Masakadza’s bat (2) and Dohni took a low catch behind the stumps. Raina's unbeaten 110 earned him the Player of the Match trophy as India kept up 100 per cent record . Zimbabwe skipper Brendan Taylor hit an impressive 138 in his final international match . Six balls later Chamu Chibhabha (7) followed his fellow opener back into the hut as he sent a thick edge into the hand of Shihkar Dhawan in the slips off the bowling of Shami. And when Solomon Mire was caught behind off Mohit for a turgid nine from 22-balls, Zimbabwe looked to be buckling against the world champions. However, it arguably brought Zimbabwe’s two best batsmen, Taylor and Sean Williams, to the crease and together they rebuilt their side’s innings. The pair shared a 93-run fourth wicket partnership as both batsman battled against each other to reach their half-centuries first, with the chase won by captain Taylor. Williams (50) followed suit the very next ball but then fell tamely has he attempted to whack the ball hard past bowler Ravichandran Ashwin only to be caught sharply by the spinner. Taylor though wasn’t willing to leave the international stage without a personal milestone and he found a willing partner in Craig Ervine to help him to his ton. Taylor takes his helmet off as he celebrates his second successive century . As the wicketkeeper-batsman passed 73 he became the highest Zimbabwean run-maker in a World Cup, surpassing Neil Johnson’s 367 in 1999, finally finishing with 405 runs for the campaign. And, after reaching the all-important three figures Taylor exploded, smashing one Ravindra Jadeja over for 24 runs. However, he departed in the next over as he lofted the ball to Dhawan at mid-off off Mohit for an impressive 138 off 110 balls. Congratulated by many of the Indian players, Taylor walked off to a standing ovation by the 30,000 strong crowd. Zimbabwe’s progress could easily have been stunted by their loss of regular wickets but their deep batting line-up continued to impress as they regularly cleared the ropes. India’s spinners, Ashwin and Jadeja, who were seen pre-World Cup as their main bowling threat, disappeared for a collective 1-146 from their 20 overs. Taylor is congratulated by India batsman Raina - who would go on to win the match for the champions . A quick-fire 28 from Sikandar Raza helped propel Zimbabwe to 287 all out but India’s supposedly weak bowling line-up bowled out their sixth side in six matches. Buoyed by Taylor’s exceptional innings Zimbabwe strode confidently out on to the field after the innings break. Despite Tinashe Panyangara’s first over going for nine runs India struggled to get the ball away early on. The pressure of tight bowling and a build-up of dot balls saw the dangerous Rohit Sharma (16) attempt to drive a length ball from the right-arm bowler only to be caught by a back-pedaling Raza at cover. Dhawan departed just four balls later as Panyangara’s shattered his stumps to silence the shocked crowd, to give the bowler a double-wicket maiden. Zimbabwe have conceded on average just 3.25 runs in the first powerplay, the lowest of all 14 teams, and India struggled to 35-2 at the end of 10 overs. Dhoni embraces century-scorer Raina as India made it 10 wins in a row in World Cup matches . With their side struggling Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane shared a 50-run partnership before the latter was run-out as he attempted to test fielder at cover and failed. Zimbabwe were all over India and reduced them 92-4 as Kohli attempted to sweep Raza round the corner and was bowled for 38. With the run-rate creeping up Raina and Dohni continued to find it hard to get the ball away but the turning point in match came when Raina was dropped by Hamilton Masakadza on 47. It was a hugely costly error as the-28-year-old went on to score his hundred off just 94 balls, having hit seven fours and four sixes. And, for the ninth one-day international match of his career Dhoni (77 not out) ended the match by sending the ball clear past the ropes for six with eight balls remaining. Admittedly it was a disappointing end for Zimbabwe, who’s future once again looks unclear with the lost of one of their greatest players, whilst India’s march towards a second consecutive World Cup title continues at pace.

The Lib Dem vehicle has even been fitted with a radio studio to allow Mr Clegg to continue broadcasts. In the film Alpha Papa, Partridge is take hostage by DJ Pat Farrell and they continue their broadcast on the road . Mr Clegg is pinning his hopes of survival on wooing women in key parts of the country. The Lib Dems claim that a drop in undecided voters in selected marginal seats has coincided with a rise in support for their party. Today he appeared with his battlebus in Abingdon, part of a key marginal seat the Lib Dems are hoping to win back from the Conservatives. Party officials said that Mr Clegg's battlebus has been fitted with a satellite radio transmitter so that he can do interviews and radio phone-ins while he is on the road. Since January 2013, the Deputy PM has hosted Call Clegg on LBC, answering questions from listeners ranging from the political to the personal. Conversations about where he buys his underpants, wearing a onesie and  the price of diesel could have been lifted straight from a Partridge script. In the film Alpha Papa, Steve Coogan's character is taken hostage by sacked fellow DJ Pat Farrell and they continue their broadcast on the road using the bright yellow roadshow truck.

Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge at the 'Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa' world premiere in Leicester Square in July 2013 . Mr Clegg will hope to avoid the fate of Partridge in the 2013 movie, which saw the DJ accidentally shoot himself in the leg on Cromer pier . The Lib Dem vehicle is decorated with abstract images by two graphic design students and the slogans 'stronger economy, fairer society' and 'opportunity for everyone', in contrast with 2010's campaign bus which featured prominent photographs of Mr Clegg and Vince Cable. Addressing activists today Mr Clegg took aim at both the Tories and the Labour party, ahead of the election on May 7. He warned that leaving the European Union would be an act of economic 'self harm' and said it was 'stating the flaming obvious' that the UK needed to be at the heart of Europe. He said he was 'dismayed' by Ed Miliband's failure to spell out details of when he would balance the nation's books. Mr Clegg lent a helping hand to putting up election boards for local candidate Layla Moran . Mr Clegg said: 'Of course we have different views to the Conservatives. I'm the leader of the Liberal Democrats, David Cameron is the leader of the Conservatives. 'They have a completely different attitude towards Europe. They have this hokey cokey where one day they want to leave, the next day they don't want to leave. 'We are unambiguous as a party that says 'yes, Europe needs to be reformed, yes there needs to be a referendum when a decision needs to be made about the transfer of powers to the European Union, we guaranteed that in law'. 'We are not like the Conservative Party, half of whom are straining at the leash to leave. We think that would be a terrible thing for the British economy. 'But in the same way I strongly disagree with Ed Miliband and Ed Balls's failure to spell out when they would actually balance the books. I am dismayed the Labour Party want to borrow GBP70 billion more than we think is needed.' He added: 'Of course it would be an economic act of self harm to leave the European Union. 'Large parts of the Conservative Party and Ukip appear to want Britain to cut itself off from what is the world's largest marketplace with hundreds of millions of customers for British goods and services. 'For me it's stating the flaming obvious that we need to secure Britain's presence at the heart of the European Union in the same way it's flaming obvious that we should secure the British economic recovery by finishing the job of balancing the books but doing it in a fair and sensible way - not taking an ideological approach to cuts, which is the Conservative approach, nor taking such an irresponsible approach to borrowing, which is Labour's approach.' Lib Dem strategists believe that winning over the female vote will be crucial to their chances of success across a range of key battleground constituencies. The Tories have often been accused of having a 'woman', with support much higher among male voters. The latest YouGov poll for the Sunday Times shows 33 per cent of men plan to back the Conservatives, compared to 31 per cent of women. For Labour it shows 35 per cent men, 36 per cent women. But for Lib Dems, just 6 per cent of men plan to vote for Mr Clegg's party, rising to 9 per cent among women. Mr Clegg warned it would be an 'economic act of self harm' if Britain were to leave the European Union .

<s>[INST] One is a figure of fun who convinces himself he is still loved by the nation by hosting eccentric phone-ins on local radio. The other is Alan Partridge. Nick Clegg today showed how his conversion into the comedy character has stepped up a gear with the unveiling of a bright yellow mobile radio studio almost identical to one used in the hit film Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. The Lib Dem leader is to tour the country in an election battlebus fitted out with a radio studio to allow him to continue his regular broadcasts designed to drum up support before May 7.

Bayern Munich legend Franz Beckenbauer has raised concerns over the poor discipline of Franck Ribery and Jerome Boateng. Winger Ribery was criticised recently by Bayern head coach Pep Guardiola for his tendency to react angrily to on-field provocations, and Beckenbauer is worried that a failure to control his temper could end up costing his team. He is also worried that a similar risk exists with midfielder Boateng. 'Ribery is often dealt with pretty roughly. But that does not mean he can afford to lose his temper, even if he is often provoked,' Beckenbauer told Sky, 'People know that he often reacts. It's the same thing with Boateng.'

Kano, Nigeria (CNN)Suspected Boko Haram gunmen decapitated 23 people in a raid on Buratai village in northeast Nigeria's Borno state, residents and a politician said Saturday. Scores of attackers invaded the village at 11 p.m. Friday when residents were mostly asleep and set homes on fire, hacking residents who tried to flee. "‎The gunmen slaughtered their 23 victims like rams and decapitated them. They injured several people," said Ibrahim Adamu, a local politician who fled. "They burned a large part of the village and we are afraid some residents were burnt in the homes because most people had gone to bed when the gunmen struck," said Adamu, a ward councilor in the village. A paramedic ‎at a government hospital in the nearby town of Biu said 32 people from Buratai were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds and burns. "The injured victims said a lot of people were beheaded by the attackers," the paramedic said. Buratai now has been attacked twice by Boko Haram in the past year. In September, the Islamist insurgents launched an attack on the village that was repelled by soldiers deployed to guard the home of a Nigerian army general from the village. The soldiers killed 20 of the gunmen. It is not clear whether the attack was in reprisal over their loss in the previous attack or was linked to the Nigeria general elections ‎that commenced Saturday. Boko Haram vowed to disrupt the elections. The militant group ISIS earlier this month said that a pledge of allegiance from Boko Haram has been accepted.

She shocked fans with an eyebrow-raising photoshoot, earlier this week. But actress Chloe Sevigny swapped strategically-placed lobsters for a more low-key approach to fashion when she stepped out in New York on Friday. The blonde star was seen looking decidedly modest as she emerged for the first time since ther provocative shoot for Marfa Journal went viral. WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT . Covered-up: Chloe Sevigny swapped strategically-placed lobsters for a more low-key approach to fashion when she stepped out in New York on Friday . Wearing a faux fur jacket with a pair of slim-cut, stonewash jeans, she cut something of a retro figure as she navigated the East Village. Capping her look with a black, leather bag and a matching pair of boots, she'd obviously been treating herself to a spot of retail therapy as she carried a shopping bag. Hiding behind a pair of designer sunglasses and sipping a take-away coffee, she looked almost incognito after causing such a stir. That 70s-inspred showgirl: Wearing a faux fur jacket with a pair of slim-cut, stonewash jeans, she cut something of a retro figure as she navigated the East Village . Just 24 hours earlier Chloe, whose hit film include The Last Days Of Disco with Kate Beckinsale, caused quite a scene on the cover of the Marfa Journal. Not least because the 40 year-old could be seen nearly naked and sprawled out over a retro kitchen work top - with a large marine crustacean between her legs. The image was just one of many bizarre visuals, from a nun in chain underwear to scantily-clad Red Riding Hood. Claws for draws: Choe Sevigny ditches her underwear for new Marfa Journal pictures as she poses with a lobster over her crotch . The four fake billboards divide the whole magazine into four sections: raw, decadent, romantic and progressive. And they're sure to continue to get attention, though loyal fans' interest in the content may be waning as the shoot sees the Swedish actress in a whole new light. Golden Globe winning and Academy Award nominated Chloe has previously enjoyed roles in Boys Don't Cry and American Psycho but these latest roles appear to put her in an all new-genre. In the most shocking image of the four book quarters, the beauty ditches her underwear in favour of the large marine crustacean. Stark naked: Besides a long fashion coat and a belt, Chloe was stark naked in the snaps . Proenza Schouler Double Breasted Wool Coat . Buy into the brand at Net-A-Porter . Visit site . It was Chloe Sevigny's riskiest photo shoot so far, and it was all for a European publication known for their love of flesh baring spreads. The Big Love star posed away in a myriad of looks from Jean Paul Gaultier, Betsey Johnson, and Chanel. But it was the shot where she was wearing nothing but a Proenza Schouler coat and shoes with a lobster strategically covering her nether region, that took the cake. The double-breasted wool number came in a navy check and black color block pattern and the statement style represented the DNA of the hip NY based label quite well. Unfortunately the topper is not yet for sale. But check the carousel below for outerwear alternatives from Vera Wang and Eudon Choi that would make a nice addition to your Fall wardrobe.

The fashionista was not without her accessories nonetheless and layered on some tribal beads between her bare chest and accentuated her enviable waist with a studded belt. She was seen sporting a subtle plaid coat, tying her tresses into a fuss-free low bun as she posed in a derelict kitchen setting. While it is not believed that the lobster is real, PETA's Managing Director Ingrid E. Newkirk told MailOnline: 'We're too kind to say what a pity it is that the lobster wasn't alive and wearing knuckledusters. 'So all we'll say is that we hope one day Chloë will realise how inferior she seems compared to a little animal who was killed just to cover a t**t. Fashionista: The fashion darling was still styled to perfection in Jean Paul Gaultier and Chanel Cruise . Daring: The actress appeared to poke fun at the movie industry with a series of mock film posters . Chloe, going virginal in white for a second picture, shows off her youthful frame in a second poster while dressed in a nun costume and headscarf. The title reads, 'Two Times A Virgin' and she sports lace knickers with a padlock and chain between her thighs to pose provocatively on her knees. Stylist Haley Wollens uses Chanel Cruise to dress the famous style star, as the cover caption indicates, with other credits including Proenza Schouler and Jean Paul Gaultier. Chloe, photographed by Brianna Capozzi, enjoys a throwback moment in velvet for one snap and adds a sexy edge to a red cape for another Running With Wolves mock up. Baring her rock hard stomach, the actress sums it up perfectly as she scrawls 'I put the HOT in PSYCHOTIC' across her abs while puffing on a cigarette. Youthful: The star looked sensational with her trim shape on show in a vintage costume . Fashion fan: Stylist Haley Wollens used Chanel Cruise to dress the famous style star with other credits including Proenza Schouler and Jean Paul Gaultier. Hot: The star summed it up perfectly with Hot In Psychotic written on her bare chest . Retro: The stylish star enjoyed a throwback moment in a velvet bra and trousers . Third issue: The Marfa Journal is a bi-annual European publication that combines of art and fashion . And the cheeky starlet certainly does look hot. Youthful beyond her 40 years, the fashion darling shoots a full view of her bare behind, on which a temporary cherry tattoo can be seen in another daring image. Chloe clashes her moods as she sports a sweet, white bonnet but pulls down her tights to reveal her derriere while leaning over a dirt bike. Bi-annual European publication, Marfa Journal, combines of art and fashion and is now in its third issue, edited by Alexandra Gordienko. Movies appear to be the hot topic for Chloe at the moment, after she publicly named and shamed her favourite (and detested) female movie stars this week. The blonde hit out at Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence in the spring issue of V magazine. She said: ‘I love when a movie star is a great movie star. I think Angelina is a great movie star. ‘I like Emma Stone. Whenever she’s herself, she’s really cute. Jennifer Lawrence I find annoying. Too crass.’ Cheeky: The model and actress bent over a dirt bike in her crystal whites, including a bonnet . Wild one: She didn't managed a smile but instead a moody stare while showing off her bare bottom . 'So much is about marketing and selling the product,' the star continued. And her latest photo shoot appears to be yet further poking fun at the movie industry. Moving away from Hollywood, Chloe's latest career move is her sixth collection in collaboration with Opening Ceremony. The Spring/Summer 2015 womenswear line is themed around preppy chic, inspired by the satirical ’80s cult film Heathers. Sassy: Chloe was modelling in a leotard and pointed boots with Hello Kitty designs . Retro: She enjoyed seventies styling in a patterned jumpsuit and long mermaidian locks . Magazine star: Four fake movie posters divide the whole magazine into four sections: Raw, Decadent, Romantic and Progressive .

That 70s-inspred showgirl: Wearing a faux fur jacket with a pair of slim-cut, stonewash jeans, she cut something of a retro figure as she navigated the East Village . Just 24 hours earlier Chloe, whose hit film include The Last Days Of Disco with Kate Beckinsale, caused quite a scene on the cover of the Marfa Journal. Not least because the 40 year-old could be seen nearly naked and sprawled out over a retro kitchen work top - with a large marine crustacean between her legs. The image was just one of many bizarre visuals, from a nun in chain underwear to scantily-clad Red Riding Hood. Claws for draws: Choe Sevigny ditches her underwear for new Marfa Journal pictures as she poses with a lobster over her crotch . The four fake billboards divide the whole magazine into four sections: raw, decadent, romantic and progressive. And they're sure to continue to get attention, though loyal fans' interest in the content may be waning as the shoot sees the Swedish actress in a whole new light. Golden Globe winning and Academy Award nominated Chloe has previously enjoyed roles in Boys Don't Cry and American Psycho but these latest roles appear to put her in an all new-genre. In the most shocking image of the four book quarters, the beauty ditches her underwear in favour of the large marine crustacean. Stark naked: Besides a long fashion coat and a belt, Chloe was stark naked in the snaps . Proenza Schouler Double Breasted Wool Coat . Buy into the brand at Net-A-Porter . Visit site . It was Chloe Sevigny's riskiest photo shoot so far, and it was all for a European publication known for their love of flesh baring spreads. The Big Love star posed away in a myriad of looks from Jean Paul Gaultier, Betsey Johnson, and Chanel. But it was the shot where she was wearing nothing but a Proenza Schouler coat and shoes with a lobster strategically covering her nether region, that took the cake. The double-breasted wool number came in a navy check and black color block pattern and the statement style represented the DNA of the hip NY based label quite well. Unfortunately the topper is not yet for sale. But check the carousel below for outerwear alternatives from Vera Wang and Eudon Choi that would make a nice addition to your Fall wardrobe.

The fashionista was not without her accessories nonetheless and layered on some tribal beads between her bare chest and accentuated her enviable waist with a studded belt. She was seen sporting a subtle plaid coat, tying her tresses into a fuss-free low bun as she posed in a derelict kitchen setting. While it is not believed that the lobster is real, PETA's Managing Director Ingrid E. Newkirk told MailOnline: 'We're too kind to say what a pity it is that the lobster wasn't alive and wearing knuckledusters. 'So all we'll say is that we hope one day Chloë will realise how inferior she seems compared to a little animal who was killed just to cover a t**t. Fashionista: The fashion darling was still styled to perfection in Jean Paul Gaultier and Chanel Cruise . Daring: The actress appeared to poke fun at the movie industry with a series of mock film posters . Chloe, going virginal in white for a second picture, shows off her youthful frame in a second poster while dressed in a nun costume and headscarf. The title reads, 'Two Times A Virgin' and she sports lace knickers with a padlock and chain between her thighs to pose provocatively on her knees. Stylist Haley Wollens uses Chanel Cruise to dress the famous style star, as the cover caption indicates, with other credits including Proenza Schouler and Jean Paul Gaultier. Chloe, photographed by Brianna Capozzi, enjoys a throwback moment in velvet for one snap and adds a sexy edge to a red cape for another Running With Wolves mock up. Baring her rock hard stomach, the actress sums it up perfectly as she scrawls 'I put the HOT in PSYCHOTIC' across her abs while puffing on a cigarette. Youthful: The star looked sensational with her trim shape on show in a vintage costume . Fashion fan: Stylist Haley Wollens used Chanel Cruise to dress the famous style star with other credits including Proenza Schouler and Jean Paul Gaultier. Hot: The star summed it up perfectly with Hot In Psychotic written on her bare chest . Retro: The stylish star enjoyed a throwback moment in a velvet bra and trousers . Third issue: The Marfa Journal is a bi-annual European publication that combines of art and fashion . And the cheeky starlet certainly does look hot. Youthful beyond her 40 years, the fashion darling shoots a full view of her bare behind, on which a temporary cherry tattoo can be seen in another daring image. Chloe clashes her moods as she sports a sweet, white bonnet but pulls down her tights to reveal her derriere while leaning over a dirt bike. Bi-annual European publication, Marfa Journal, combines of art and fashion and is now in its third issue, edited by Alexandra Gordienko. Movies appear to be the hot topic for Chloe at the moment, after she publicly named and shamed her favourite (and detested) female movie stars this week. The blonde hit out at Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence in the spring issue of V magazine. She said: ‘I love when a movie star is a great movie star. I think Angelina is a great movie star. ‘I like Emma Stone. Whenever she’s herself, she’s really cute. Jennifer Lawrence I find annoying. Too crass.’ Cheeky: The model and actress bent over a dirt bike in her crystal whites, including a bonnet . Wild one: She didn't managed a smile but instead a moody stare while showing off her bare bottom . 'So much is about marketing and selling the product,' the star continued. And her latest photo shoot appears to be yet further poking fun at the movie industry. Moving away from Hollywood, Chloe's latest career move is her sixth collection in collaboration with Opening Ceremony. The Spring/Summer 2015 womenswear line is themed around preppy chic, inspired by the satirical ’80s cult film Heathers. Sassy: Chloe was modelling in a leotard and pointed boots with Hello Kitty designs . Retro: She enjoyed seventies styling in a patterned jumpsuit and long mermaidian locks .

(CNN)A suicide bomb attack in Iraq this week was carried out by an American jihadist, ISIS claims. The terrorist group released a photograph on Tuesday of a masked fighter it identified as Abu Daood Al-Amriki, an alleged American jihadist who committed the suicide attack. The claim grabbed headlines, but days later, neither CNN nor U.S. government officials have been able to confirm the identity of the attacker. ISIS claims the attacker used an explosives-laden vehicle to mount an attack in Samarra, Iraq. Two senior Iraqi security officials confirmed that an attack matching the description did take place -- that a suicide attacker rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into a convoy of Iraqi forces. At least three Iraqi security forces were killed in the attack, the sources said. But ISIS has not released the birth name of the alleged American suicide bomber, or shown his face. U.S. officials tell CNN that for the moment there is nothing to corroborate the claim.

Hundreds gathered in the capital of Afghanistan today to attend the burial of a 27-year-old woman who was murdered by an angry mob for allegedly burning a copy of the Koran. Farkhunda was beaten to death and her body set on fire by a large group of men outside a mosque in central Kabul on Thursday, in full view of several policemen.

A Missouri man who weighs 570 pounds has vowed to run a 5K every month for the next nine months in an inspirational bid to change his life around before it's too late. Derek Mitchell, 34, of Kansas City learned five years ago he had a pituitary tumor contributing to his 625 weight at the time. However, removing the tumor wasn't enough to help Derek battle the bulge, so now he's fighting to turn his life around by kicking his soda addiction and adopting a vegan diet in order to get his life back and ensure he's got a healthy, hopeful future to look forward to. Took a good look: Derek Mitchell of Kansas City decided to turn his life around reaching 625 pounds . 'I just knew I had to do something if I had hope for a future or anything like that,' Mitchell told Fox4KC.com. After giving up soda as a New Year's resolution, he decided to take things a step further by putting one foot in front of the other as part of his nightly neighborhood walks. 'I started just walking around in my neighborhood, and I started at a mile and then worked my way up to a little over two miles a day,' Mitchell said this month after a month or so of his walks. Mitchell uses an app to post maps of his walks to Facebook and he's had a mob of supporters urging him on after every walk.

It was his marathon enthusiast sister who suggested the 5K, reports BuzzFeed. 'I wanted to cross the finish line with my hands up, because that's how it felt! It was pretty awesome,' Mitchell told Fox4KC. So excited, in fact, that Mitchell says he's planning to run another 5K next month and one every month thereafter for the rest of the year.

Here, Sportsmail's Graham Poll talks us through the key events from Liverpool's FA Cup quarter-final draw with Blackburn on Sunday. Andre Marriner was well served by not giving decisions at Anfield, where there were four decent penalty appeals. While one could make a case — certainly technically — for three of the four to be given, I felt Marriner got every one of those decisions right. Liverpool’s best chance of a penalty was their first appeal when Adam Lallana went down under pressure from Matt Kilgallon.

Sergeant 1st Class Gregory McQueen could face up to 40 years in prison after he admitted recruiting three female officers into a prostitution ring . An army officer whose role was to advocate for victims of sexual abuse has admitted recruiting cash-strapped female soldiers to work in a prostitution ring. Sergeant 1st Class Gregory McQueen recruited the female soldiers to serve as prostitutes for high ranking officers at Fort Hood in Texas - one of the biggest bases in the country. One female officer was told she could make lots of money at swinger and stripper parties, while another claimed McQueen arranged for her to have sex with an officer for $100. At a court martial McQueen admitted getting the three officers involved in the sex ring, and betraying the trust of commanders who had appointed him as an advocate for victims of sexual abuse at the base, home to 40,000 soldiers, the Austin American-Statesman reported. McQueen admitted 15 counts including charges of pandering and conspiracy to solicit prostitution. As part of his plea arrangement, other charges were dismissed, but McQueen still faces one count of assault that may be considered by the court later. He could face up to 40 years in prison. One of the female soldiers had previously testified that McQueen arranged for her to have sex for $100 with an officer, Master Sergeant Brad Grimes. But prosecutors told Judge Lt. Col. Rebecca Connally that while there were plans for a tryst, the two never had sex. The woman had told investigators she was 20 when she confided in McQueen about money problems after her husband left her and her three-year-old son and drained the couple's bank account. She also testified that McQueen had sex with her and took photos of her naked to show potential clients. Grimes has already been demoted and reprimanded after he was found guilty by a jury conspiring to patronize a prostitute and solicitation to commit adultery. Initial charges were filed against McQueen in March 2014. Fort Hood officials haven't indicated whether anyone involved in the conspiracy actually had sex, according to the San Antonio Express-News. McQueen was an officer in Fort Hood's sexual assault prevention program and counseled victims of abuse. McQueen admitted breaching his role as an advocate for sexual abuse by encouraging the prostitution ring . He told the hearing: 'I was fully aware I violated those duties.' The maximum penalty for his crimes is 40 years in prison and McQueen could be sentenced later on Thursday. In addition to trying to recruit the young female soldiers, McQueen admitted trying to get two higher ranking officers to agree to have sex with junior female officers. These senior ranking officials refused, KCEN TV reported. He told the judge 'I engaged in conduct fully aware of my duties, and I willfully arranged for soldiers to engage in acts of prostitution,' he told the judge. 'My acts discredited the service.' Speaking after the hearing, South Texas College of Law professor Geoffrey Corn said the case was a 'very rare' occurrence that merited prosecution. Corn, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and former military lawyer, told mySA: 'Not only is risk of significant punishment necessary for this misconduct, but there is an important deterrent message here. We entrust subordinates to leaders to make them better, not to exploit them.' The case is part of a spate of sex-related incidents in the military which have prompted further investigation by Congress. The US Senate last year blocked a bill that would have stripped military commanders of their authority to prosecute or prevent charges for alleged rapes and other serious offences. Instructors, recruits and others have been prosecuted in a series of sex-abuse cases at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. A Pentagon study released last May on sex assault in the military found that more than 5,000 reports of sexual abuse had been filed in the previous fiscal year, a 50 percent increase from the previous 12 months.

The maximum penalty for his crimes is 40 years in prison and McQueen could be sentenced later on Thursday. In addition to trying to recruit the young female soldiers, McQueen admitted trying to get two higher ranking officers to agree to have sex with junior female officers. These senior ranking officials refused, KCEN TV reported. He told the judge 'I engaged in conduct fully aware of my duties, and I willfully arranged for soldiers to engage in acts of prostitution,' he told the judge. 'My acts discredited the service.' Speaking after the hearing, South Texas College of Law professor Geoffrey Corn said the case was a 'very rare' occurrence that merited prosecution. Corn, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and former military lawyer, told mySA: 'Not only is risk of significant punishment necessary for this misconduct, but there is an important deterrent message here. We entrust subordinates to leaders to make them better, not to exploit them.' The case is part of a spate of sex-related incidents in the military which have prompted further investigation by Congress. The US Senate last year blocked a bill that would have stripped military commanders of their authority to prosecute or prevent charges for alleged rapes and other serious offences. Instructors, recruits and others have been prosecuted in a series of sex-abuse cases at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. A Pentagon study released last May on sex assault in the military found that more than 5,000 reports of sexual abuse had been filed in the previous fiscal year, a 50 percent increase from the previous 12 months.

He breached his Fort Hood role as advocate for victims of sexual abuse . McQueen admitted 15 charges including conspiracy to solicit prostitution .

A double murderer and two other convicted killers have been granted clemency by Indonesian President Joko Widodo, while two of the Bali Nine ringleaders remain on death row and could be executed within weeks. Soon after Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were denied clemency, Dwi Trisna Firmansyah had his death sentence reduced to life. The 28-year-old was one of three killers involved in the robbery and planned murder of a shop owner and his son in April 2012, The Jakarta Post reported. This week, a senior source from the Indonesian presidential palace told ABC an additional two murderers had had their death sentences overturned by Mr Joko. Scroll down for video . Dwi Trisna Firmansyah has had his death sentence for murder reduced after Indonesian President Joko Widodo showed mercy . A 'sadistic' murderer and two other men have been granted clemency in Indonesia, while Australian convicted drug traffickers Andrew Chan (right) and Myuran Sukumaran (left) remain on death row . The pair may be waiting months for their execution as other prisoners pursue lengthy appeals . Indonesia's Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir said the granting of clemency was the prerogative of the president, and that drugs had a wider impact than people may realise. 'Indonesia as nation is not taking pleasure in punishing anyone with the death penalty,' he said. On April 16, 2012, Firmansyah and two other men broke into a man's shop and hit him over the head with a wooden bat while he was taking part in his morning prayer. When the man's son tried to come to his father's aid he was also killed, News Corp reported. They stole a car, two motorcycles, 12 mobile phones, phone vouchers and cash. The three men were sentenced to death in September 2012, but on Friday Firmansyah's lawyer Asep Ruhiat was notified of Mr Joko's decision to grant him clemency. Their appeal to the Supreme Court earlier this year failed, but Firmansyah was then shown mercy amid the Indonesian President's tirade against convicted drug smugglers. President Widodo (left) has adopted a hardline approach to drug smugglers but has spared murderer Firmansyah mercy, reducing his death sentence to life behind bars . This comes after it was revealed Chan and Sukumaran could have their executions delayed for months as other death row inmates take on lengthy court appeals. It has been revealed by the Indonesian attorney-general Muhammad Prasetyo that the execution of the Bali nine duo will take place at the same time as several other foreigners on death row. This could delay the pair's execution as all avenues of legal appeal for the other eight convicted drug offenders must be exhausted before their death sentence can be carried out. The Indonesian Governor-General has said the death row inmates will be executed 'simultaneously' Myuran Sukumaran, left, and Andrew Chan, right, will be put through an 'assimilation' process as they prepare to face the firing squad . This means Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran may have months to wait before they face the firing squad. Mr Prasetyo also claims the death row inmates will be put through an 'assimilation' process which he believes will help them mentally prepare for their death. 'They will be accompanied by religious figures until they're truly ready,' he said. The two men are currently being held in isolation cells where they are able talk to each other. Their interaction with other inmates is limited to one Nigerian who is also on death row. Prison authorities claim there's been no order to move Mr Chan and Mr Sukumaran from 'Death Island' even though the appeals process may be lengthy. Although the appeals process may be lengthy there have been no orders to transfer Mr Sukumaran and Mr Chan from the prison referred to as 'Death Island' President Widodo is adamant he will show no leniency to drug offenders caught on his shores . The pair's lawyers will return to Jakarta court on Thursday to challenge President Widodo's decision to deny clemency to all drug offenders. Their last appeal was adjourned until March 20 as the president's representative did not have the required legal documentation. Two weeks earlier, the Administrative Court dismissed their argument that President Widodo failed to consider their rehabilitation. The claim was rejected on the grounds that the court had no authority to overturn presidential decree. The Australian government, alongside several notable public figures, have made repeated pleas to spare the lives of Mr Chan and Mr Sukumaran. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has written to the Indonesia government offering to cover the cost of life imprisonment for the condemned pair if they agree to call off their executions. Ms Bishop has offered to cover the costs of life imprisonment for the condemned men, if their lives are spared . Ms Bishop is yet to receive a response. The families of the convicted drug offenders have been allowed to visit twice since their transfer to Nusakambangan island last Wednesday, with their next visit scheduled for Monday. This news comes as a prisoner art exhibition and auction featuring Mr Sukumaran's work was dramatically cancelled after Kerobokan prison authorities said they didn't want to associate with the prisoners pending execution. The Kerobokan Jail governor Sudjonggo ordered all 92 prisoner paintings to be removed before the exhibition commenced. He claims that authorities we unaware the event was advertised as a tribute to Mr Sukumaran, a former art teacher at the prison. A chilling self portrait of Mr Sukumaran that would have been displayed alongside other prisoner art at the Kuta exhibition . The exhibition featuring Mr Sukumaran's most recent work was cancelled as prison officials say they didn't want to get caught up in the politicised executions . 'It is cancelled because we do not want to be involved in any matters relating to Myuran. I have conveyed to the organisers about that and they promised that none of Myuran's paintings will be at the exhibition,' Sydjonggo said. 'It doesn't mean that we are forgetting Myuran. No. But we just don't want to be involved in the discourse about the execution which is now already politicised,' he added. The money raised by auctioning off the prisoners artwork was to be used to continue funding the art program at the Kerobokan prison as well as building a gallery intended to showcase the works of ex-prisoners who were mentored by Mr Sukumaran. Mr Sukumaran has been unable to paint since his transfer to 'Death Island' however prison authorities say Mr Sukumaran will eventually be allowed to have his art materials. Mr Sukumaran was a highly respected art teacher while he was detained in Kerobokan prison .

Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp is confident his side can overturn a 2-1 Champions League first leg deficit against Juventus on Wednesday due to their watertight defence. The improving Germans, who have recovered after a dismal first half to the domestic season that saw them anchored in last place as recently as last month in the Bundesliga, have kept a clean sheet in their last three league games, including a 0-0 draw against Cologne on the weekend.

Dortmund boast a fine record at home in Europe having won 11 of their last 14 Champions League games at the Westfalenstadion. But in order to book a spot in the last eight they have to snap a losing run at home against Juventus, having lost all three previous encounters against the Italians in Dortmund. Klopp will be counting on goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has scored five in his last seven outings and in-form Marco Reus, who has struck five times in eight games. Marco Reus cancelled out Carlos Tevez's opener before Alvaro Morata scored a 42nd-minute winner . Juventus are flying high in Serie A, edging closer to the Italian title with their first triumph away from home in over two months at Palermo, opening up a 14-point lead. 'One less win needed to win the league,' Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri said, knowing he will now need to shift his focus to Dortmund and their attacking game.

A cowboy builder who charged vulnerable pensioners up to 20 times more than they should have paid for work on their homes has been jailed. Ronald Connors charged on woman £140,000 for work that should only have cost just £6,000 at her home in Rhiwbina, Cardiff. Cardiff Crown Court heard he lavished the money on new cars - including a £32,000 Range Rover. Ronald Connors charged on woman £140,000 for work that should only have cost just £6,000 at her home in Rhiwbina, Cardiff . His victims also included an 80-year-old woman from Whitchurch and a man aged 60 from Porthcawl with mental health issues. A judge yesterday told the father-of-five, from Newport, that he was a 'thoroughly dishonest businessman' as he jailed him for 15 months. He said it would have been longer had Connors, 39, who admitted three charges of aggressive business practice, not paid all of the money back. Prosecutor Lee Reynolds said: 'He was a rogue trader preying on the elderly and the vulnerable, charging them extortionate prices for substandard work and sometimes for work not done at all. 'One woman was charged 20 times the value and the other, 10 times. 'The third person didn't hand over any money but became upset and almost buckled under the aggressive behaviour from the defendant.' The work in Rhiwbina took place over many months with the victim in the end having difficulty in recalling all the jobs her workmen claimed to have done. Mr Reynolds told the court: 'It all started with weeds growing through the block paving in her drive and her being told there were problems underneath. Cardiff Crown Court heard he lavished the money on new cars - including a £32,000 Range Rover. Pictured is his luxury home . 'She was given a quote for £6,000 which she agreed to pay but as the work was being done, some rendering fell off and they offered to re-render for £15,000. 'Then there was a wobbly window in her garage and the garage ended up being almost rebuilt and she was told there was damp. 'They looked in her loft and gutters and weather boards were replaced. 'By that time she had paid about £70,000 to £90,000 - she says she lost track and told the police 'they just kept finding things to do'.' Mr Reynolds said: 'She paid out £52,000 in February 2012 and that month Ronald Connors bought a £32,000 Range Rover and in March a Ford Fiesta costing £10,000.' In 2011, his other elderly victim paid Connors cheques totalling £22,000 for work valued at £2,000. A judge yesterday told the father-of-five, from Newport, that he was a 'thoroughly dishonest businessman' as he jailed him for 15 months . Mr Reynolds said: 'The inside of her flat did need redecorating but when it was viewed later, the work which included damp-proofing, fitting lighting and two heaters was valued at £1,900 to £2,000.She had paid 10 times the true value.' In Porthcawl, a neighbour was looking out for the 60-year-old who had already been targeted by cold callers. Mr Reynolds said that when he was given a quote from Connors to tidy up his garden, alarm bells rang. 'He was advised to cancel the agreed quote for £7,000, his neighbour helped him write a letter which was posted by recorded delivery but a few days later the defendant turned up saying he was going to do the work. 'He was aggressive, threatening and abusive.' Henry Hughes, defending, said Connors had no previous convictions and had built up his business since the age of 18. But at the time he was under financial pressure and sub-contracted jobs to others, not realising the work they were doing was deficient. 'He thought it was being done properly' Mr Hughes told the judge. 'He had no idea it was of poor standard. He now accepts he was too aggressive in his practises.' The court heard claims that Connors had taken out a bridging loan to repay the victims and that had cost him £30,000. Recorder George Bull QC told Connors: 'You are a thoroughly dishonest businessman preying on people and you chose your victims carefully and it was going on over a period of time. It was despicable conduct and you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.' Connors was ordered to pay the £18,832 cost of his prosecution by Cardiff council.

<s>[INST] A cowboy builder who charged vulnerable pensioners up to 20 times more than they should have paid for work on their homes has been jailed. Ronald Connors charged on woman £140,000 for work that should only have cost just £6,000 at her home in Rhiwbina, Cardiff. Cardiff Crown Court heard he lavished the money on new cars - including a £32,000 Range Rover. Ronald Connors charged on woman £140,000 for work that should only have cost just £6,000 at her home in Rhiwbina, Cardiff . His victims also included an 80-year-old woman from Whitchurch and a man aged 60 from Porthcawl with mental health issues. A judge yesterday told the father-of-five, from Newport, that he was a 'thoroughly dishonest businessman' as he jailed him for 15 months. He said it would have been longer had Connors, 39, who admitted three charges of aggressive business practice, not paid all of the money back. Prosecutor Lee Reynolds said: 'He was a rogue trader preying on the elderly and the vulnerable, charging them extortionate prices for substandard work and sometimes for work not done at all. 'One woman was charged 20 times the value and the other, 10 times. 'The third person didn't hand over any money but became upset and almost buckled under the aggressive behaviour from the defendant.' The work in Rhiwbina took place over many months with the victim in the end having difficulty in recalling all the jobs her workmen claimed to have done. Mr Reynolds told the court: 'It all started with weeds growing through the block paving in her drive and her being told there were problems underneath. Cardiff Crown Court heard he lavished the money on new cars - including a £32,000 Range Rover. Pictured is his luxury home . 'She was given a quote for £6,000 which she agreed to pay but as the work was being done, some rendering fell off and they offered to re-render for £15,000. 'Then there was a wobbly window in her garage and the garage ended up being almost rebuilt and she was told there was damp. 'They looked in her loft and gutters and weather boards were replaced. 'By that time she had paid about £70,000 to £90,000 - she says she lost track and told the police 'they just kept finding things to do'.' Mr Reynolds said: 'She paid out £52,000 in February 2012 and that month Ronald Connors bought a £32,000 Range Rover and in March a Ford Fiesta costing £10,000.' In 2011, his other elderly victim paid Connors cheques totalling £22,000 for work valued at £2,000. A judge yesterday told the father-of-five, from Newport, that he was a 'thoroughly dishonest businessman' as he jailed him for 15 months . Mr Reynolds said: 'The inside of her flat did need redecorating but when it was viewed later, the work which included damp-proofing, fitting lighting and two heaters was valued at £1,900 to £2,000.She had paid 10 times the true value.' In Porthcawl, a neighbour was looking out for the 60-year-old who had already been targeted by cold callers. Mr Reynolds said that when he was given a quote from Connors to tidy up his garden, alarm bells rang. 'He was advised to cancel the agreed quote for £7,000, his neighbour helped him write a letter which was posted by recorded delivery but a few days later the defendant turned up saying he was going to do the work. 'He was aggressive, threatening and abusive.' Henry Hughes, defending, said Connors had no previous convictions and had built up his business since the age of 18. But at the time he was under financial pressure and sub-contracted jobs to others, not realising the work they were doing was deficient. 'He thought it was being done properly' Mr Hughes told the judge. 'He had no idea it was of poor standard. He now accepts he was too aggressive in his practises.' The court heard claims that Connors had taken out a bridging loan to repay the victims and that had cost him £30,000. Recorder George Bull QC told Connors: 'You are a thoroughly dishonest businessman preying on people and you chose your victims carefully and it was going on over a period of time. It was despicable conduct and you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.' Connors was ordered to pay the £18,832 cost of his prosecution by Cardiff council. A Criminal Behaviour Order also bans him from canvassing the elderly door-to-door in future. Speaking after the hearing, Cardiff cabinet member Councillor De'Ath said: 'Our key priority was to recover the money that had been conned from Ronald Connors' victims and I am pleased this has been successful.

Former Wales and British Lions flanker Martyn Williams has called on the RBS 6 Nations organisers to change the way they draw up the Player of the Championship shortlist after Sam Warburton was left out of 12-man nominations. Warburton, 26, was one of his country's best players throughout the competition but the Wales skipper is not up for the top gong, which is based upon performance statistics rather than balanced expert opinions. Dan Biggar and Alun-Wyn Jones are the only Welsh nominations while Scotland, who lost every game, also have two players in the running in Jonny Gray and Stuart Hogg. Wales skipper Sam Warburton races away for a try during his side's 60-21 trouncing of Italy in Rome . 'Sam is the standout name not on that list,' Williams told Sportsmail. 'It was a big surprise. It's always very contentious, but it's picked using statistics and I don't think that's the way to do it. I prefer the way they do it for World Player of the Year where they use a panel of experts to get a general consensus. Sam can feel very hard done by for not making it. You could make a case for Leigh Halfpenny and Liam Williams as well. 'Sam's stats are always very high but penalties can count against you if you play on the edge. His influence on the team can't be measured through stats because they don't capture those big moments in a game where the big players stand up. 'Sam will be the player to win a big turnover to win a big game; but that just counts as one turnover on a stat sheet. He's a fantastic role model and a leader by actions.' Wales fly half Dan Biggar has made the Six Nations shortlist for Player of the Championship . Wales lock Alun-Wyn Jones is the only other Welsh player to make the 12-man shortlist . After losing their opening Test against England, Wales went on to win all of their remaining fixtures and eventually finished third on points difference. Warren Gatland expects his side to be serious challengers at the World Cup and, if they can continue to build on their momentum, Williams believes they have the talent to make the final at Twickenham. 'This squad has more or less been together for four years, so they're in a really good place,' said Williams. 'They will obviously be disappointed not to win the tournament but, in terms of the bigger picture, they're looking good for the World Cup. Can they be challengers? Yes, why not? The group stages are just as difficult as the quarter and semi finals. That's how finely balanced it is. If they win the group, then they could go all the way. Then again, they might not get out of their group at all.' Former Wales flanker Martin Williams has called for changes to be made to the nominations procedure .
