Pathology test results have confirmed the brutal killing of pregnant mum Kris-Deann Sharpley and her seven-year-old son, Jackson, was a murder-suicide carried out by her grandfather. The bodies of 27-year-old Ms Sharpley, her son and her father, Derek, were found inside their family home in Biddeston, Queensland, on Monday morning. Friends of murdered mum Kris-Deann Sharpley said she was thrilled by the pending arrival of her daughter, who she had even given a name, and showed no signs of the trauma that was about to tear a family apart. Murdered mum Kris-Deann Sharpley was thrilled by the pending arrival of her second child, who she planned to name in honour of her mother, before she was brutally killed. 'Everything seemed to be fine,' Corinne Kaiser, a close Sharpley family friend, told The Chronicle. Derek Jackson, 52, who was found dead in his Biddeston home, had a history of criminal behaviour and mental health issues . Ms Kaiser last spoke to Ms Sharpley on Sunday evening, hours before she was killed. Ms Sharpley was set to name her daughter Amber Elizabeth Rose in honour of her mother, Elizabeth Roslyn, who died years earlier, according to the Courier Mail. A grandfather whose body was also found at the scene was well known to police and had a long history of mental illness. Derek John Sharpley, 52, was found dead of gunshot wounds to the head in the same room that his grandson Jackson's body was found tucked into a bed inside the home, west of Brisbane in Queensland. His 27-year-old daughter Kris-Deann Sharpley, who had moved to the Queensland town in 2011 to care for him following her mother's death, also died of gunshot wounds to the head and was found in the bathroom. Detective Inspector David Isherwood would not confirm the details of Mr Sharpley's criminal history, but told Daily Mail Australia that there had been no recent incidents. 'They [the family] are known to police and in regard to criminal history; the reality is that while he has a criminal history, it's not recent history,' Inspector Isherwood said. 'But he has got a criminal history and there is no doubt that he has had mental health issues.' His daughter Kris-Deann Sharpley (left), who had moved to the town to care for him following her mother's death, was found dead in the bathroom while her seven-year-old son (rigth) Jackson's body was found in a bed . Derek (left) and his daughterKris-Deann (right), were found dead from gunshot wounds to the head in their bathroom on Monday. Mr Sharpley is believed to have attempted suicide in the past and had a history of substance abuse. 'I must stress that we are in the early stages of our investigation however it would appear that two of the deaths are suspicious and the death of the man is non suspicious,' Inspector Isherwood said. Mr Sharpley is believed to have shot himself after killing his daughter and grandson, however detectives have been unable to determine the young boy's cause of death after preliminary pathology results returned inconclusive. Inspector Isherwood said there were no signs of physical injury on the child's body and that police were awaiting further results before making any conclusions about how he died. 'There are a couple of issues, they [forensic pathologists] think, with the decomposition. You'd think that with strangulation there would be lesion marks on the neck. What often happens in a lot of bodies in that case is that the head is tilted forward and you get bruising in the front of the body,' Inspector Isherwood said. 'Suffocation is very hard to prove, so the issue we've got is we really don't know'. Detective Inspector David Isherwood told Daily Mail Australia that Mr Sharpley 'was not the owner of a registered firearm', but would not release any other information about the gun used to kill the two adults . Detectives have been unable to determine Jackson's (pictured) cause of death after preliminary pathology results returned inconclusive. Suffocation and strangulation are still being investigated . The owner of the high-calibre gun used to kill both adults, which was found lying on a bed, has also been an unclear aspect of the case. Inspector Isherwood told Daily Mail Australia that Mr Sharpley 'was not the owner of a registered firearm', but would not release any other information about the gun. He said detectives would return to the address on Thursday to obtain any more evidence that could be relevant to the case. It comes after revelations that Kris-Deann  was on maternity leave and excitedly awaiting the birth of her little girl who she'd chosen to name Amber Elizabeth Rose after her late mother when she was slain, her sister-in-law Sara Turnball told the Courier Mail. All three bodies were found by Kris-Deann's (left) sister Tara on Monday evening when she came to the house to pick up some belongings . Detectives will return to the address on Thursday to obtain any more evidence that could be relevant to the case . All three bodies were found by Kris-Deann's sister Tara on Monday evening when she came to the house to pick up some belongings and to see their pet dogs. Tara, who is also pregnant, was accompanied by her boyfriend Allan Brown and had to climb through a window to gain access to the house. Mr Brown told the Courier Mail that Tara screamed out: 'They've been murdered, they've been murdered.' The scene at Toowoomba-Cecil Plains Road home was so grisly it distressed first-response police officers, according to Detective Inspector David Isherwood.

'Both appear to have been shot in the head.' 'At this point in time there's nothing to suggest there was any incident that occurred in terms of a disturbance.' 'Two people that live in the town heard three distinct gunshots.' The gunshots were heard on Sunday night but locals presumed it was someone shotting an animal. Kris-Deann Sharpley was on maternity leave and excitedly awaiting the birth of her little girl .

A time capsule hidden inside the walls of a California home in 1978 was finally reunited with its owner, who placed it there when he was only 12 years old. Robert Wright, 49, flew from Texas with his father to their former home in Fontana to pick up the 37-year-old time capsule that Wright once hid while his family was remodeling the house. Inside he placed a signed note, a few coins, a newspaper cutting and a McDonald's scratch card. Robert Wright (pictured left as a 12-year-old and right today) was reunited with a time capsule he hid inside the walls of his home in 1978 . The 12-year-old Wright explained in the note that his dad was redoing the wall's paneling, which gave him the chance to hide the note away. He also provided 'proof' of the date with a newspaper clipping . In the note, Wright wrote: 'Hello to whoever finds this. My name is Robert Wright. Today my dad is putting up paneling. Today is November 18th, 1978, 15 till 12:00 noon'. 'I'm 12 years old and a student at Fontana JR. High, 7th grade. I am 5'3, blond hair, hazel eyes.' 'Here is proof of the date. Robert Wright.' Wright told ABC News it was 'surreal' to be reunited with the capsule he never thought he'd seen again. The capsule was a 'spur-of-the-moment idea', according to Wright, who quickly gathered some trinkets from his room before his dad sealed the interior wall he was redoing. He tore off a newspaper and threw in the McDonald's ticket to prove the date. The capsule wasn't unearthed until six years ago when Greg Sandoval, the home's current owner, was doing a renovation of his own. Sandoval struggled to find Wright's contact information or profile on Facebook but didn't have the heart to throw it away. The plastic bag capsule contained a note, coins - and this scratchcard from a McDonald's restaurant . The capsule wasn't unearthed until six years ago, when the home's current owner Greg Sandoval and his wife were doing a renovation of their own . After six years he decided 'to do something about it' and reached out to his local ABC station in Los Angeles in December.

I am that Robert Wright."' Wright, who works in orthopedics in Austin, got in touch with Sandoval and decided he would personally pick up the capsule when he had to fly down to California in a few months for a conference. The father-of-two now plans to continue the tradition with his boys, aged eight and nine, when they remodel their home this summer. 'Maybe 50 years from now, someone will find their things,' Wright said. 'And they'll have a cool story to tell.'

New Zealand's former cricket captain Martin Crowe, who is terminally ill with lymphoma, has penned a moving tribute to his countrymen ahead of Sunday's World Cup final against Australia. In a heart-wrenching column published on Cricinfo, the 52-year-old said Sunday's match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground might be the last he ever sees. 'My precarious life ahead may not afford me the luxury of many more games to watch and enjoy,' Crowe wrote. Terminally ill New Zealand's former cricket captain Martin Crowe had admitted in his latest column that the World Cup final could be the last he ever sees . Crowe, pictured in 1988 (left) and 1994 (right) played 77 tests and 143 One-Day Internationals for New Zealand . 'So this is likely to be it. The last, maybe, and I can happily live with that.' Crowe, who played 77 tests and 143 One-Day Internationals for New Zealand, was regarded as one of the world's best batsmen during the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma two years ago but it went into remission. Late last year, however, a new, more aggressive form of the disease, double-hit lymphoma, developed and he said he had been told only five percent of sufferers survive more than 12 months. He was regarded as one of the world's best batsmen during the late 1980s and early 1990s (pictured bottom left) He said he could 'happily live' with watching Australia and New Zealand play at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for his last game. His column sung praise for both Michael Clarke (left) and Brendon McCullum (right) Crowe said he had decided against chemotherapy and was instead trying natural treatments. He was inducted into the international cricket Hall of Fame last month and is making the trip from New Zealand to watch the final live, cheering on the players he regards as the 'sons I never had'. 'I will hold back tears all day long. I will gasp for air on occasions. I will feel like a nervous parent,' he wrote. 'Whatever happens, March 29 at the MCG will be the most divine fun ever.' Current Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum told a news conference on Saturday he had read Crowe's column and he paid tribute to his ailing predecessor.

We had him involved in the group, and not long ago as well we came and spent time with the team and it was great,' McCullum said. 'He seems to have really found peace with himself and the game as well, and he's been instrumental in helping some of our guys on the team peel back their games and really focus on being able to develop individually but also buy into the team collectively. He's been a really big asset. 'It's really sad what he's going through and we just hope that he's able to find some peace in the time that he's got left.'

Crowe was diagnosed with an aggressive form of lymphoma late last year . The 52-year-old was told only 5 percent of sufferers survive past 12 months .

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen admits it took longer than they expected to turn their season around but he now has every confidence they can make it a success. A dreadful start to the campaign saw them slip to 10th, seven points off the minimum requirement of a top-four place, in mid-December and exit the Champions League at the group stage. Since then, however, they have taken 30 points from their 12 subsequent Premier League matches to put themselves firmly in the mix for a top-four place and have an FA Cup quarter-final replay against Sky Bet Championship side Blackburn to face next month.

Beijing (CNN)China has linked violence in its far-western Muslim region of Xinjiang to ISIS and says Chinese nationals have fought for the extremist group. The Communist Party chief of Xinjiang -- the region's top official -- told reporters Tuesday to view mounting violence there in the context of a global jihadist movement, especially with the rise of ISIS -- also known as the Islamic State or IS. "Some extremists in Xinjiang have participated in the IS and I think this further proves that intentional extremist forces cannot be ignored," said Zhang Chunxian on the sidelines of the annual session of China's rubber-stamp parliament. "As countries around the world have realized the dangers of IS... we will work with others to stop it at its source." A spate of violent attacks in Xinjiang -- a resource-rich area long inhabited by the Turkic-speaking Uyghurs -- has killed hundreds of people in the past two years. The government has blamed the incidents on Muslim Uyghur separatists seeking to establish an independent state. China's state media had earlier reported on Muslim Uyghur militants trying to flee the country and join ISIS training camps in preparation for attacks back home. "We cracked some cases involving people who had just returned after directly participating in fighting," Zhang revealed. "Such cases sometimes involve 'lone wolves' and other times involve groups." "The IS situation is historically unprecedented," he added, addressing criticism on the Xinjiang government's lack of transparency. "To solve such cases... to ensure people's safety, we sometimes have to keep things confidential and take our time." Exiled Uyghur activists have long disputed the Chinese government's assertions, pointing to the lack of evidence and accusing the authorities of using the alleged ISIS connection to justify their increasingly harsh rule in the region. Over the past decades, the arrival in Xinjiang of waves of Han Chinese, the country's predominant ethnic group, has fueled ethnic tensions. Amnesty International has said Uyghurs face widespread discrimination in housing, education and employment, as well as curtailed religious freedom. Other critics have attributed the rise of violence in Xinjiang to Beijing's repressive reign there -- a claim the government vehemently denies.

Drilling has begun beneath a German city by a team of Indiana Jones pensioners who believe they are on the trail of the fabled Amber Room of the Tsars. The OAP treasure hunters are digging beneath the streets of the old industrial city of Wuppertal. The Amber Room - valued at around £250million in today's money - was looted from the palace of Peter the Great in Soviet Russia by invading Nazi troops in 1941. It is without doubt the single greatest piece of missing stolen art from World War Two never to be found and has captivated treasure hunters ever since it was first plundered. Some say the panels were destroyed by Soviet artillery fire on the Prussian city of Koenigsberg, others that they were dumped in an Alpine lake by the SS in the closing days of the war. But Karl-Heinz Kleine, 68, and his bowling club pals, say they have proof it was entombed by the Nazis beneath the streets of Wuppertal. Scroll down for video . Digging for treasure: A team of Indiana Jones pensioners being drilling under the German city of Wuppertal, where they are convinced the Amber Room is hidden after it was looted by the Nazis from Russia in 1941 . Lost art: The Amber Room seen in all its glory in 1930 before it was stolen from the Catherine Palace . The city is riddled with subterranean bunkers and tunnels dug by the Nazis. It is here, said Kleine, that he has received information that the crates arrived from Koenigsberg early in 1945 to be hidden. He said: 'Erich Koch, the Nazi gauleiter of East Prussia who died in a Polish prison in 1986, came from Wuppertal. 'As the Red Army closed in on Koenigsberg, he ordered the treasure to be packed up and brought back to his hometown. We have studied records and spoken to people from the time. 'He did not want to leave the world's greatest treasure in a region with an unknown political future; rather he brought it to a place he knew where he had a good chance of accessing it in the future. In his own backyard.' In search of lost treasure: A group of bowling club friends say they have proof the Amber Room was entombed by the Nazis beneath Wuppertal . Following the scent: The group claim to have received information that the crates arrived from Koenigsberg early in 1945 to be hidden in the German city of Wuppertal . Opulent: A complete restoration of the Amber Room in the Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo near Saint Petersburg, the original of which was plundered by the Nazis in World War Two, but has since disappeared . The £250million room, consisting of panels containing six tonnes of amber resin, took ten years to complete. It is without doubt the single greatest piece of missing stolen art from World War Two never to be found . The local authority have given Karl-Heinz and his four friends permission to dig in the Nazi structures and a local building firm has loaned them some heavy drilling equipment. 'I can't reveal who our sources are, but we are not doing this for fun,' he added. 'We will find the Amber Room here.' Others have been just as certain in the past. The Maigret author Georges Simenon founded the Amber Room Club after World War Two to track it down once and for all. Everyone had a different theory of what might have befallen the work. Plundered: The remains of the Amber Room after it was seized by the Nazis, who packed the amber panels in 27 crates and shipped them to Germany, where they vanished never to be seen again . Stripped bare: Some say the panels were destroyed by Soviet artillery fire on the East Prussian city of Koenigsberg, while others claim they were dumped in an Alpine lake by the SS in the closing days of the war . Destroyed: Peter the Great received the room as a gift from the King of Prussia in 1716 and brought it to his new capital, St Petersburg. Here it is seen before restoriation . The Amber Room consists of panels containing six tonnes of amber resin, took ten years to complete and is valued at some £250million in today's money. Peter the Great received the room as a gift from the King of Prussia in 1716 and brought it to his new capital, St Petersburg. The 16-feet of jigsaw-puzzle style panels were constructed of more than 100,000 perfectly fitted pieces of amber. In 1755, it was moved to the Catherine Palace at Tsarkoe Selo, 17 miles south of the Imperial Russian capital. In 1941, the approaching Nazi army surrounded the city, then known by its Soviet name of Leningrad. Tsarkoe Selo was one of the outlying areas occupied by the Germans. They packed the amber panels in 27 crates and shipped them to Germany, where they vanished. Dozens of theories have been put forward for their whereabouts and in some cases, millions spent trying to unearth the treasure, but as yet nothing has been found. In 2006 an American team spent £7million diving into the glacial waters of Lake Toplitz in Austria. Norman Scott, the founder of Global Explorations, said he had a witness who he says specifically counted 27 crates going to the waters of the lake in April 1945, one month before the capitulation of Nazi Germany. Paperwork from the RHSA - the Reich Main Security Office of the SS in wartime - shows the Amber Room was packed into precisely 27 crates before it was taken away by the Germans from Russia. The team also say the Cyrillic lettering on the remains of a wooden crate they found, bearing the words 'fragile' and numbered could mean it once contained a piece of the Amber Room jigsaw. Lake Toplitz was used by Hitler's forces in the last two years of the war for secret underwater experiments using dynamite and rockets. It later turned it into a dumping ground for anything the Nazis wanted to hide from the advancing Allies. But the lake has yielded little since WW2, except for forged £5 notes which were printed by the Nazis and intended to cause chaos for the British economy. In 2011, a book published in Germany claimed the room lies hidden in old mine workings in a forest in east Germany. 'The Puzzle of Poppen Wood' by Mario Ulbrich unleashed a fresh wave of treasure hunters who arrived at weekends with shovels, metals detectors and vast reserves of optimism to scour for the artwork. Casualties of war: Inhabitants of Leningrad (now St Petersburg) flee after a German bomb attack in the winter of 1941 when the Nazis seized the Amber Room during their assault on the city . The Catherine Palace in St Petersburg (as seen in 2010) where the Amber Room is housed . Ulbrich interviewed foresters, policemen, miners and old Nazis for his work which chronicles two decades of largely unreported quarrying in the wood near Zwickau. Matthias Gluba, a civil engineer and hobby historian on WW2, has triggered another Amber Room frenzy after researching wartime records of the town of Auerswalde near Chemnitz. Auerswalde was the place where Hitler built the two biggest guns in history - Dora and Gustav - both mighty railway mounted monsters capable of hurling shells weighing tons. As he probed into the history of the cannons he discovered plans for secret underground workings. Then he found details of a clandestine shipment from the city of Koenigsberg - now Kaliningrad and part of Russia but in 1945 the main city of Germany's province of East Prussia - which was the last known storage place of the Amber Room before it fell to the Red Army. Art haul: The room was plundered by Adolf Hitler's Nazis during the Second World War . Prussian count Sommes Laubach, the Germans' 'art protection officer' and holder of a degree in art history, supervised the room's transport to Koenigsberg Castle from the Soviet Union. In January 1945, after air raids and a savage ground assault on the city, the room was lost. Gluba found documents about an air raid on the marshalling yards of Breslau - then German, now the Polish city of Wroclaw - on 4 February 1945. The army report stated that 40 wagons from Koneigsberg, which had fallen days earlier to the Red Army, were undamaged in the attack and were moving down to Auerswalde 'under conditions of the greatest secrecy.' Gunter Richter, now 80, is an Auerswalde resident who told Glube that, as a child, he remembered in the Muna Forest outside the town a massive shelter built for munitions works employees that he went into as a boy. It vanished off of maps after the war but in March 2011 he and Gluba managed to find a ventilation shaft that leads down into a subterranean structure they believe is the old shelter. They, and others, have still not managed to access it. Many Amber Room purists believe the treasure lies in the Jonas Valley in what was the former German Democrat Republic. It is the most dangerous of the hunting grounds and draws scores of illegal searchers every weekend. The centre of the Jonas Valley is at Ohrdruf and was the site of the S-IIIFuhrer headquarters. It is a tunnel system many miles in length with thousands of caves, bunkers and storerooms. It was intended to be the Alamo of the Third Reich leadership. Americans liberated it and US authorities have since classified all 1945 documents relating to Ohrdruf for a minimum of 100 years. 'Like no other place in Germany this wild canyon has ignited the fantasies of an international league of conspiracy theorists and treasure hunters, 'wrote Der Spiegel, Germany's top news magazine. Both above and below ground, the area is littered with shells and bombs big enough to destroy a city block. At weekends authorities play cat-and-mouse with the treasure hunters who enter the sealed-off area illegally in ones and twos - and sometimes in mini-bus groups - armed with metal detectors and a belief in the stories. Fortune hunter Martin Stade, author of 'Amber Rooms In Thuringia And Other Hollow Spaces,' likes to guide treasure seekers through the Jonas Valley. Stade believes that Hitler had UFO-like flying saucers developed in bunkers at the site - as well as using one of the chambers as a repository for the Amber Room.

The £250million room, consisting of panels containing six tonnes of amber resin, took ten years to complete. It is without doubt the single greatest piece of missing stolen art from World War Two never to be found . The local authority have given Karl-Heinz and his four friends permission to dig in the Nazi structures and a local building firm has loaned them some heavy drilling equipment. 'I can't reveal who our sources are, but we are not doing this for fun,' he added. 'We will find the Amber Room here.' Others have been just as certain in the past. The Maigret author Georges Simenon founded the Amber Room Club after World War Two to track it down once and for all. Everyone had a different theory of what might have befallen the work. Plundered: The remains of the Amber Room after it was seized by the Nazis, who packed the amber panels in 27 crates and shipped them to Germany, where they vanished never to be seen again . Stripped bare: Some say the panels were destroyed by Soviet artillery fire on the East Prussian city of Koenigsberg, while others claim they were dumped in an Alpine lake by the SS in the closing days of the war . Destroyed: Peter the Great received the room as a gift from the King of Prussia in 1716 and brought it to his new capital, St Petersburg. Here it is seen before restoriation . The Amber Room consists of panels containing six tonnes of amber resin, took ten years to complete and is valued at some £250million in today's money. Peter the Great received the room as a gift from the King of Prussia in 1716 and brought it to his new capital, St Petersburg. The 16-feet of jigsaw-puzzle style panels were constructed of more than 100,000 perfectly fitted pieces of amber. In 1755, it was moved to the Catherine Palace at Tsarkoe Selo, 17 miles south of the Imperial Russian capital. In 1941, the approaching Nazi army surrounded the city, then known by its Soviet name of Leningrad. Tsarkoe Selo was one of the outlying areas occupied by the Germans. They packed the amber panels in 27 crates and shipped them to Germany, where they vanished. Dozens of theories have been put forward for their whereabouts and in some cases, millions spent trying to unearth the treasure, but as yet nothing has been found. In 2006 an American team spent £7million diving into the glacial waters of Lake Toplitz in Austria. Norman Scott, the founder of Global Explorations, said he had a witness who he says specifically counted 27 crates going to the waters of the lake in April 1945, one month before the capitulation of Nazi Germany. Paperwork from the RHSA - the Reich Main Security Office of the SS in wartime - shows the Amber Room was packed into precisely 27 crates before it was taken away by the Germans from Russia. The team also say the Cyrillic lettering on the remains of a wooden crate they found, bearing the words 'fragile' and numbered could mean it once contained a piece of the Amber Room jigsaw. Lake Toplitz was used by Hitler's forces in the last two years of the war for secret underwater experiments using dynamite and rockets. It later turned it into a dumping ground for anything the Nazis wanted to hide from the advancing Allies. But the lake has yielded little since WW2, except for forged £5 notes which were printed by the Nazis and intended to cause chaos for the British economy. In 2011, a book published in Germany claimed the room lies hidden in old mine workings in a forest in east Germany. 'The Puzzle of Poppen Wood' by Mario Ulbrich unleashed a fresh wave of treasure hunters who arrived at weekends with shovels, metals detectors and vast reserves of optimism to scour for the artwork. Casualties of war: Inhabitants of Leningrad (now St Petersburg) flee after a German bomb attack in the winter of 1941 when the Nazis seized the Amber Room during their assault on the city . The Catherine Palace in St Petersburg (as seen in 2010) where the Amber Room is housed . Ulbrich interviewed foresters, policemen, miners and old Nazis for his work which chronicles two decades of largely unreported quarrying in the wood near Zwickau. Matthias Gluba, a civil engineer and hobby historian on WW2, has triggered another Amber Room frenzy after researching wartime records of the town of Auerswalde near Chemnitz. Auerswalde was the place where Hitler built the two biggest guns in history - Dora and Gustav - both mighty railway mounted monsters capable of hurling shells weighing tons. As he probed into the history of the cannons he discovered plans for secret underground workings. Then he found details of a clandestine shipment from the city of Koenigsberg - now Kaliningrad and part of Russia but in 1945 the main city of Germany's province of East Prussia - which was the last known storage place of the Amber Room before it fell to the Red Army. Art haul: The room was plundered by Adolf Hitler's Nazis during the Second World War . Prussian count Sommes Laubach, the Germans' 'art protection officer' and holder of a degree in art history, supervised the room's transport to Koenigsberg Castle from the Soviet Union. In January 1945, after air raids and a savage ground assault on the city, the room was lost. Gluba found documents about an air raid on the marshalling yards of Breslau - then German, now the Polish city of Wroclaw - on 4 February 1945. The army report stated that 40 wagons from Koneigsberg, which had fallen days earlier to the Red Army, were undamaged in the attack and were moving down to Auerswalde 'under conditions of the greatest secrecy.' Gunter Richter, now 80, is an Auerswalde resident who told Glube that, as a child, he remembered in the Muna Forest outside the town a massive shelter built for munitions works employees that he went into as a boy. It vanished off of maps after the war but in March 2011 he and Gluba managed to find a ventilation shaft that leads down into a subterranean structure they believe is the old shelter. They, and others, have still not managed to access it. Many Amber Room purists believe the treasure lies in the Jonas Valley in what was the former German Democrat Republic. It is the most dangerous of the hunting grounds and draws scores of illegal searchers every weekend. The centre of the Jonas Valley is at Ohrdruf and was the site of the S-IIIFuhrer headquarters. It is a tunnel system many miles in length with thousands of caves, bunkers and storerooms. It was intended to be the Alamo of the Third Reich leadership. Americans liberated it and US authorities have since classified all 1945 documents relating to Ohrdruf for a minimum of 100 years. 'Like no other place in Germany this wild canyon has ignited the fantasies of an international league of conspiracy theorists and treasure hunters, 'wrote Der Spiegel, Germany's top news magazine. Both above and below ground, the area is littered with shells and bombs big enough to destroy a city block. At weekends authorities play cat-and-mouse with the treasure hunters who enter the sealed-off area illegally in ones and twos - and sometimes in mini-bus groups - armed with metal detectors and a belief in the stories. Fortune hunter Martin Stade, author of 'Amber Rooms In Thuringia And Other Hollow Spaces,' likes to guide treasure seekers through the Jonas Valley. Stade believes that Hitler had UFO-like flying saucers developed in bunkers at the site - as well as using one of the chambers as a repository for the Amber Room.

Beef has been wiped off restaurant menus across Mumbai after its state government said it will now enforce laws making possession of the meat and the slaughter of cows illegal. But steak and kidney pie will continue to be served up at one of India's oldest British Raj-era clubs in defiance of the ban. The law was passed by the state of Maharashtra around 20 years ago, but not implemented until now by a new Hindu nationalist administration. Still on the menu: The British Raj-era Royal Bombay Yacht Club (above) in Mumbai has vowed to continue serving steak and kidney pies despite a state-wide ban on the possession of beef or the slaughter of cows . Violators could face a fine and up to five years in prison. Residents expressed outrage on Twitter using the hashtag #BanBeef - which topped the social network's trends, appearing more than 22,000 times in less than 24 hours. But panicked steak lovers will have a safe haven at the Royal Bombay Yacht Club, Mumbai, which will continue to serve its steak and kidney pies to customers. The 170-year-old club has said it will keep steak on the menu by sticking to its original recipes using 'buff' - buffalo meat - rather than beef for the pies. Club president Ardhendu Bose felt pessimistic about the ban until he realised that the leaner buffalo meat used in their recipes would leave the club's menu intact, he told the Daily Telegraph. On Wednesday night, the club served both steak and kidney and steak and onion pies, with parsley potatoes and sautéed cauliflower to reassured customers. 'I spoke to my vice president and said "we should do something, we don't want to get into trouble". 'But he said buffalo is allowed, so we'll carry on as usual', he said.

Bafetimbi Gomis was given a clean bill of health on Thursday after revealing his shocking mid-game collapse was caused by the stress of his father’s ill health. The Frenchman was discharged from hospital in London in the morning having fainted eight minutes into Swansea’s 3-2 defeat against Tottenham at White Hart Lane. There were distressing echoes of Fabrice Muamba’s collapse at the same ground three years ago, with Spurs’ substitute goalkeeper Brad Friedel admitting he ‘feared the worst’ as he watched the striker slump to the ground. Bafetimbi Gomis lies face down on the pitch after collapsing during Swansea's game with Tottenham . Medical staff attended to the France international for four minutes before he regained consciousness . Concerned Tottenham players look on as the Swansea forward is attended to my medical staff . But hospital tests through the night have found no deeper cause for concern beyond the 29-year-old’s vasovagal condition, which the Welsh club insist they have been aware of since before they signed the player from Lyon last summer. A senior club source told Sportsmail that knowledge of at least three previous episodes involving Gomis in France meant they were ‘extra rigorous’ in testing him during his medical and cardiology exams. A source close to the player confirmed those tests took place in a specialist facility in Cardiff ahead of Gomis’s Bosman move to south Wales. The Frenchman tweeted to insist he was feeling better, claiming he fainted because of the anxiety caused by his father’s illness. He said: ‘I wanted to reassure you concerning my health. It actually looks much scarier than it is physically dangerous, and I am feeling well now. Gomis, who has a history of blacking out, is taken off the field on a stretcher at White Hart Lane . Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb (right) holds his head in his hands as Gomis is taken off on a stretcher . Players from both sides appear shocked as referee Michael Oliver prepares to restart the game . ‘I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my father’s health, which requires me to go back and forth from France. ‘I was disappointed that I couldn’t help my team tonight (Wednesday), but now everything is back in order. I also want to thank everyone for their support and get well messages.’ The striker will not return to training until Tuesday, though the time off was agreed for the whole squad ahead of Wednesday’s incident, with Swansea not playing again until Monday week’s clash against Liverpool. He is expected to return to France imminently. Club officials were adamant on Wednesday night that Gomis has suffered no previous issues with fainting since his arrival at the Liberty Stadium, though the dressing room had been made aware of a condition that is understood to have first affected the striker when he was 14. A vasovagal syncope, which is what Bafetimbi Gomis suffered on Wednesday night, is caused by a sudden decrease in blood pressure or heart-rate, triggered by emotional or physical factors. Reduced blood flow to the brain makes a person faint. It can be prompted by extreme exertion or anxiety. On the physical side, there are numerous tests that can be done when a player has a medical and it appears Swansea knew all about Gomis’s history. They will have checked the flow through his blood vessels under exercise stress, though emotional triggers are harder to quantify. It is a rare condition for a professional sportsman and is more common in older people. It is not something I have encountered in any other footballer. Thankfully, it is not an especially dangerous condition in isolation. The risks are low beyond what happens when you fall. You could hit your head or suffer trauma damage to another part of the body on landing. Often there is a stimulus that the person will recognise and they can act, by sitting down.

Gomis is believed to have collapsed a third time in a Ligue 1 match for Lyon against Monaco in August 2010.

The unspeakably twisted world of a bankrupt Australian businessman is unravelling after he moved to the Philippines and allegedly lured innocent children into his home - and has now been implicated in a child's death. Peter Gerald Scully, from Melbourne, was charged last year with human trafficking and child porn-related offences arising from his alleged sexual abuse of Filipino girls which was filmed and then posted online for paying clients. The 51-year-old managed to avoid being arrested until February 20 this year before a former partner told police that Scully had killed one of his child victims in 2013. It was after this shocking revelation that the remains of a 10-year-old girl were found at a home formerly rented by Scully in Malaybalay, Bukidnon. Peter Gerald Scully (right) was arrested for human trafficking and child porn-related offences arising from his alleged sexual abuse of Filipino girls which was filmed and then posted online for paying clients . An extremely graphic and distressing account by two young girls, who survived the trauma of Scully's alleged torturous abuse, paints a horrifying picture of what at least a dozen children are alleged to have endured in his home. Cousins, going by the name of Daisy,11, and and Queenie, 10, told rappler news site about the fateful day in September 2014 when they were approached by Scully's live-in partner, Carme Ann 'Angel' Alvarez. Alvarez, who was only 17 at the time and an alleged former victim of Scully's, offered the girls food at Centrio Mall in Cagayan de Oro City and then invited them back to their house. Daisy said when they got to the house, Alvarez bathed the girls while Scully, who she referred to as the 'American', videoed them. The next morning the girls were asked to start digging a hole in the ground but had no idea why they had been asked to do the unusual task. It was then after lunch that things became even more disturbing when allegedly Scully undressed the girls and told them to kiss each other. 'I started crying, I don't know what we were doing,' a tearful Daisy said. Agent Francisco (right) , who was responsible for cracking the case and the rescue of several victims from Scully's house, pictured with one of the rescued girls (left) Scully then allegedly rubbed mineral oil on the girls' bodies and sexually assaulted them, while Alvarez was took photos. They were then told to keep digging and Daisy was made to sleep in the same room where they had been digging the holes. The next day Daisy said they were forced to perform sexual acts on the man. 'I was crying and screaming so much that Alvarez covered my head with a pillow. I choked so much but Scully continued his abuses on me,' Daisy said. 'Alvarez slapped me and said that I if don't stop crying, Peter will continue doing this.' The girls were then told to keep digging after the horrendous ordeal. That evening, Daisy said they were forced the alcohol and she managed three drinks before passing out and woke up the next morning to discover she had slept in one of the dug-out graves because she had kept crying and calling for her 'mama'. It was on the fourth day that became unbearable for the little girls. 'They were filming, taking photographs while we dug our graves, and they again brought us to their room, this time, I was tied with a nylon cord, my hands, my feet – I could not move,' Daisy said. 'I wanted to kill myself, I wanted to die that night, because I could not bear it any longer.' However, it was the very next day that the girls fled for their lives when Scully and Alvarez left the house. Queenie’s mother took the girls to the local police station to file a complaint against Scully and Alvarez. The remains of a 10-year-old girl were found at a home formerly rented by Scully after he was arrested . When the police turned up to the house - they apprehended Alvarez but Scully escaped. Police said there had been numerous complaints made against Peter Riddel and Peter Russel. Authorities also said that Scully's youngest victim was only one-year-old at the time. Agents assigned to the case described the video footage as 'the worst video we have encountered in our years of campaign against child pornography' which led to seven young victims being rescued, the inquirer.net reported. Alvaraz, now 18, revealed her bizarre lifestyle to a prison warden at the Cagayan de Oro City Jail where she was detained . She met Scully when she working as a prostitute at just 14-years-old and allegedly endured a similar ordeal to Daisy and Queenie before paid by Scully to entice the children into their home. Following information from Scully’s former live-in-partner named Margallo, police officers checked on a home that Scully used to live in when they discovered the remains of what is suspected to be of the 10-year-old girl that Scully allegedly abducted from Talakag town in Bukidnon. Police believed the girl was murdered in July 2013 after Scully had ensured her parents that he would get their daughter a good education. Police said a team would be sent to the 'horror house' to check if any other children had been buried. Scully had been implicated in an alleged home-buying scheme scam in Melbourne before leaving for the Philippines in 2011, The Age reported. The following year, the Supreme Court of Victoria banned Scully from operating the Key Home Buyer Program which cost investors $2.68 million. Police said they had been searching for Scully since September when two teenage girls were allegedly found naked and chained in an apartment that he rented.

A group of college footballers have sparked outrage by dressing in Ku Klux Klan robes in a parody of the Will Smith movie Bad Boys II. About 20 members of the team, at Wheaton College near Chicago, Illinois, performed the 'skit' wearing Klan-style white hoods and carrying Confederate flags. The off-season team-building exercise was intended as a 'satirical parody' of the 2003 action comedy Bad Boys II, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, whose characters poke fun at the KKK. Footballers performed a 'skit' wearing Klan-style white hoods during a team-building exercise at Wheaton College (pictured) near Chicago . The skit, intended as a parody of a scene from the Will Smith movie Bad Boys II (pictured), has sparked outrage on campus . But the stunt has provoked anger on the campus while Philip Ryken, the evangelical Christian college's president, has sent an email to all students and staff. The incident happened on February 28 in a campus gym and involved some of the team's black players. College bosses have acknowledged the skit was 'racially insensitive'. In Bad Boys II, the police detectives played by Smith and Lawrence burst out of white robes they are wearing as part of a raid on a Ku Klux Klan meeting. According to the Chicago Tribune, team Captain Josh Aldrin, who is African-American, took responsibility for the skit and, in a letter to students, admitted 'we made a mistake.'

Mr Ryken was made aware of the incident shortly after it happened and held a meeting with some of those involved at 1am the next morning. On Sunday, more than 700 students gathered in the College's Pierce Chapel to pray for 'campus-wide healing'. In a statement posted on its website, the college said: 'The team captain acknowledged his poor judgment in failing to consider the inherently hurtful meanings these symbols carry, though it was clear the skit was not motivated by racial hostility.

Parents are allegedly using ice to pay their teenage babysitters in the Northern Territory, as the drug problem in Australia's top end continues to worsen, according to a new report. Allegedly, the prevalence of methamphetamine use, more commonly known as ice, is now so severe in Darwin and Palmerston that youths are reportedly babysitting and prostituting themselves in exchange for the drug, according to The NT News. Authorities are now referring to the abuse of ice in the Northern Territory as an 'epidemic'. A shocking report by Australian Crime Commission has revealed that children as young as 11 are starting to experiment with the hard drug.

Some teens are so hooked to the drug ice they reportedly accept it as payment for babysitting (stock photo) Allegedly, the prevalent of methamphetamine use, more commonly known as ice, is now so severe in Darwin and Palmerston that youths are reportedly babysitting and prostituting themselves in exchange for the drug . Ice use has escalated at an alarming rate amongst 15 and 16 year olds over the last six months, according to Catholiccare – Northern Territory's only service focussed on targeting drug abuse in young people. 'Addiction to ice is placing young women in vulnerable situations and leaving them open to exploitation, further the easy accessibility of ice means that it is used as a form of currency,' Ms Lloyd said.'Catholiccare's NT Director Jane Lloyd told The NT News. However, the federal funding is scheduled to stop for Catholiccare on June 30. Ms Lloyd partially blames the widespread use of ice on the affordability of the drug. She also labels ice 'the drug of curiosity' amongst young people and the problem is a result of experimentation resulting in addiction and abuse. As a result of the surge in hard drug use, crime is also beginning to escalate in the region, according to Catholiccare. Authorities are now referring to Ice use in the Northern Territory as an 'epidemic'. It is popular in struggling areas because it is so cheap but has been found to lead to a rise in crime . 'It has been used as a tool – kids are easily manipulated and used in many ways and ice is one of many tools that is being used,' Catholic Care NT's Alcohol and Drug urban team leader Yianna Paterakis told NT News. A new Australian Crime Commission (ACC) report has revealed that ice poses the greatest risk to users and the wider community. Two weeks ago, a parliamentary committee was formed to crack down on the ice epidemic in the Northern Territory. Chief Minister Adam Giles confirmed that 'this committee will be tasked with looking at all the evidence and determining if there are ways we could be responding better to this issue.' The focus will be on determining the extent of the problem and evaluating the current programs in place to target drug use.

Some teens are so hooked to the drug ice they reportedly accept it as payment for babysitting (stock photo) Allegedly, the prevalent of methamphetamine use, more commonly known as ice, is now so severe in Darwin and Palmerston that youths are reportedly babysitting and prostituting themselves in exchange for the drug . Ice use has escalated at an alarming rate amongst 15 and 16 year olds over the last six months, according to Catholiccare – Northern Territory's only service focussed on targeting drug abuse in young people. 'Addiction to ice is placing young women in vulnerable situations and leaving them open to exploitation, further the easy accessibility of ice means that it is used as a form of currency,' Ms Lloyd said.'Catholiccare's NT Director Jane Lloyd told The NT News. However, the federal funding is scheduled to stop for Catholiccare on June 30. Ms Lloyd partially blames the widespread use of ice on the affordability of the drug. She also labels ice 'the drug of curiosity' amongst young people and the problem is a result of experimentation resulting in addiction and abuse. As a result of the surge in hard drug use, crime is also beginning to escalate in the region, according to Catholiccare. Authorities are now referring to Ice use in the Northern Territory as an 'epidemic'. It is popular in struggling areas because it is so cheap but has been found to lead to a rise in crime . 'It has been used as a tool – kids are easily manipulated and used in many ways and ice is one of many tools that is being used,' Catholic Care NT's Alcohol and Drug urban team leader Yianna Paterakis told NT News. A new Australian Crime Commission (ACC) report has revealed that ice poses the greatest risk to users and the wider community. Two weeks ago, a parliamentary committee was formed to crack down on the ice epidemic in the Northern Territory. Chief Minister Adam Giles confirmed that 'this committee will be tasked with looking at all the evidence and determining if there are ways we could be responding better to this issue.' The focus will be on determining the extent of the problem and evaluating the current programs in place to target drug use.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's comments after Paris St Germain's defeat to Bordeaux will be investigated by the French football league (LFP).

Two single beds side by side, canes hanging from coat hooks and retro British food tins on a gingham-covered countertop - these are the poignant images that capture the lives of two elderly sisters in their family home. Jean and Joy Taylor were born in the house in Ryde, Isle of Wight, in 1916 and 1922, never married and even shared a bedroom in their family home for 27 years until Jean's death in 2008. Now their quiet, old fashioned life together has been documented by a photographer Zoe Barker, with her picture series, The House Of Two Sisters. Scroll down for video . The sisters' guest room is decorated with pink candlewick bedspreads, an electric fire and family pictures on the mantelpiece. Jean's picture is in the centre, to the right is their brother Jim in his Royal Artillery Uniform . The new owners have kept the enamelled pots and pans and other vintage pieces of kitchenware and continue to use a 'cool cupbord' with perforated metal door and sides for storing cheese, butter and eggs . Jean Taylor (left) was born, lived and died in her home in Ryde, Isle of Wight; after the loss of her sister in 2008, Joy, now 99, (right) sold the house in 2013 to move into a care home . Barker's pictures are as much a document of the sisters' lives together and of a glimpse of a vanishing Britain. Her images record an immaculately kept house with vintage features such as antimacassars on the armchairs, tins of treacle in the kitchen, a dressing table and highly-patterned carpets. There are no computers cluttering up surfaces, or plugs, wires and cables wending around furniture and only a few black and white photographs decorate on the walls. The women were born into a well-known local family, which originally set up a successful coaching business in the town in the 1840s. They also had two brothers James and John. Barker said: 'Very much a family home in the early days, the sisters shared the house with their mother and their Aunt Edie until both mother and aunt passed away. This was Jean's home all her life.' Aged 23 and 17 respectively when the Second World War broke out, the Taylor sisters came of age in an era of thrift, rationing and self-sacrifice. And their wartime experiences are evident throughout the house.

In their neat, almost spartan, room is a black and white photo of their family friend and Spitfire pilot George Gribble who victory-rolled over the house whenever he flew over the island. On 4 June, 1941, he was seen to bail out over the sea near Dunkirk but was never found. The smaller photograph in the corner of the same frame is Bill Tudhope, a bomber pilot who was engaged to one of their cousins. He failed to return from a bombing mission over Germany in 1940. Barker said: 'In 1957 Joy left to live in London, though returned to the house almost every weekend. On retiring in 1981 she returned to live with her sister and they remained there together until Jean's death. 'Neither of them ever married. Despite being a large house the sisters shared a bedroom right up until Jean passed away.' These plastic flowers were given to the sisters by the grandmother of the woman who delivered their lunches in the last two years of Jean's life.

The Isle of Wight-based photographer was asked to take her camera around the house by the new owners after Joy - the last of the Taylor family in Ryde - sold her house in 2013 to move into a care home. She said: 'The new owners are lovely - a middle-aged couple with a teenage daughter. They are all massive appreciators of old things so it couldn't be in better hands. 'They've kept a lot of the sisters' furniture and objects, selected from the things that the sisters' family didn't want, many of which are currently in storage, but they plan to display them around the house once the decorating is completed. 'They invited me to come and document the house precisely because they appreciated it all so much - they really wanted a record of how it was. I presented them with an album of photographs at the end of the project.' The pictures took first place in the Documentary Series Category at the British Life Photography Awards this month. The new owners of the house have kept this Fowler's Treacle tin and many other old containers including over-the-counter medicines and salves, with a view to displaying them in the house in future . The sisters had an identical much-loved chair and even Joy isn't sure whether this one was hers or Jean's . Barker documented the interior before it was renovated. She said: 'Little had changed for many years and the house was full of wonderfully dated features. But the house won't be entirely transformed. 'They're keeping the essentials of the house the same - lots of paint required and a few new curtains and carpets, but pretty minimal really as they want the house to retain its wonderful character,' she said. 'For example, keeping the woodchip wallpaper, just giving it a lick of paint, and holding on to some of those amazingly dated carpets. Even the old hoover has been kept as it's working perfectly. 'The biggest change is the kitchen - it was absolutely tiny, a galley kitchen really: the kitchen pans photograph was only just about doable with a wide angle lens and the camera right against the opposite wall. So the old sitting room is now a wonderfully spacious kitchen with window out on to the garden.' The rug was made by Aunt Edie's long-term boyfriend 'Uncle Bert'.

A family was devastated after they went to visit the grave of their late mother and grandmother only to find a large pile of rubble had been dumped on top of it. Loretta Perminas had taken her two children and three grandchildren to visit her mother Jadvyga's grave in Carlton Cemetery in Nottingham on Mother's Day but found flowers and an ornament on the grave had been pushed aside to make way for a large pile of soil. Ms Perminas 54, said: 'It's just heartbreaking. We didn't even have anywhere to put the flowers.' Scroll down for video . Loretta Perminas took her family to visit the grave of her mother, only to find that it had been covered by a large pile of rubble and the flowers and ornaments she had placed on the plot had been pushed aside . The council has since apologised to the family and said they sometimes have to put soil on nearby graves when they dig a new plot. 'To cover up someone's grave with a pile of rubble is so disrespectful - I couldn't believe it,' added Ms Perminas. 'We wanted to say our prayers on Mother's Day but we couldn't. My grandchildren had written a prayer. 'How do you explain that their great-grandma's grave isn't there because it's just a pile of rubble? I couldn't get to sleep the next night because I was just so devastated.' The grandmother-of-five had taken her family to visit the grave of her mother, who died last year at the age of 89. Since her death the family  have been saving up for a headstone but had placed a memorial plaque, vases and a Holy Mary ornament, which had been blessed by the Pope in Rome, on the grave. Ms Perminas said it was 'heartbreaking' to find her mother's grave covered in the large mound of soil . Jadvyga Perminas (pictured left, aged 28) died about a year ago and was buried in Carlton cemetery (pictured right about six weeks before her death last year) Last Wednesday Ms Perminas visited the site and left flowers and angel ornament. But when she returned just days later she found soil and large rocks had been dumped on her mother's grave, as another plot had been dug about six inches away. The family also believe the new plot encroaches on their land, because they bought three at the time so other family members could eventually be buried alongside Jadvyga. Ms Perminas, a jewellery dealer, added: 'We can't afford a marble memorial but it's irrelevant because it's still my mum's grave. 'I go to see it regularly and it was okay on Wednesday. Gedling Borough Council said the rubble had been placed on top of the grave while they dug a new plot . Ms Perminas' family almost didn't realise the pile of rubble was at the site of their relative's grave . Ms Perminas said flowers and ornaments, including of Holy Mary (blue) had been pushed aside . 'Everything I had left there was chucked to the side like it didn't matter. 'She loved the Holy Mary ornament and it cost hundreds of pounds. The plot belongs to us and they have no right to do that.' Ms Perminas's son Adrian said they almost walked past the grave at first, not realising it was under a heap of discarded rubble. He said: 'It can't have been an accident because they've had to actually move all the stuff, and it's not like there was nowhere else to put the muck. 'Either way, there shouldn't be a grave being dug so close. It's blood-curdling to think they could have disturbed my grandmother's grave.' Gedling Borough Council, which runs the cemetery, has apologised to the family. Ms Perminas said her family had been saving up for a headstone and were devastated by the grave . The plot was covered in flowers before the rubble had been dumped upon it in time for Mother's Day . Peter Barnes, portfolio holder for the environment, said: 'We are really sorry for any distress experienced by the Perminas family. 'Carlton Cemetery is a working cemetery, which means that graves are being dug out and prepared for new burials all the time. 'In this case, a grave was being prepared adjacent to the grave of the Perminas family and, as a result, earth was placed on the adjacent grave, pending the new burial. 'Given the close proximity between graves, this practice is often unavoidable but we always remove any earth that is left on adjacent graves as quickly as possible.' He said that any family items removed as part of a new grave being dug are returned to where they came from.

The Hollywood gym inside which Manny Pacquiao plots his victory over Floyd Mayweather Jnr is being patrolled by seven armed guards. The Wild Card Boxing Club, run by the Filipino’s esteemed trainer Freddie Roach, is usually open for fans hoping to catch a glimpse of a master at work. But now, with a $300million (£200m) mega-fight at stake, nothing is being left to chance. VIDEO Scroll down to see Manny Pacquiao training ahead of Floyd Mayweather bout . Manny Pacquiao shows off his speed and power as he trains at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym . The Wild Card Boxing Club is usually open for fans hoping to catch a glimpse of a master at work . The famous Hollywood gym is being patrolled by seven armed guards ahead of the May 2 fight . Freddie Roach (right, pictured in November) insisted on the guards having guns so that ‘people respect them’ Roach told the Associated Press that he insisted on the guards having guns so that ‘people respect them’ but the man himself will not be there to look after his charge until Sunday. The veteran trainer is in Macau preparing for Zou Shimming’s first world title fight on Saturday before returning to Los Angeles where Pacquiao, now 36, will spar 90 to 95 rounds instead of the usual 150. They will both make the short trip downtown on Wednesday where they will be met by Mayweather for the only face-to-face meeting before fight week in Las Vegas.

And despite showing off his blistering hand speed, he wrote: ‘I feel slow but I’m not worried because I still have a lot of time.’

(CNN)I am atheist -- and I am black. Yes, we exist -- even if many in the media sometimes don't notice us. In a CNN special that aired on Tuesday, for example, people of color were not as well-represented as American atheism's more familiar face: You know, white males. In fact, African-American atheists represent a still small -- though growing -- segment of American atheists at large. Does this mean that blacks and other minorities generally just don't gravitate towards nonbelief, or are there other factors which keep us hidden? There is a harsh truth to face here. Most blacks identify as religious. Belief in God is touted with pride, and the church is intricately tied to tradition, history and culture. It is not uncommon to assume that I attend services as a black woman. The question often isn't if I go to church -- it's where. And even if one doesn't go to church, surely they still have faith -- because our people have endured and overcome so much hardship that it had to be the work of a god. All of this makes the words "black" and "atheist" hard for many to imagine in the same sentence. It can be extremely difficult to discuss religion objectively in the black community. Many have social, emotional and financial stakes invested in this institution, so for one to even say they have doubts is like committing treason. To openly identify as an atheist in the midst of heavy religious influence can be next to impossible, and good luck finding other blacks who also don't believe. It is very important to note however, that the Internet has made it easier for black atheists to find each other, and there is a large community of us online. Though I was raised secular -- a rarity in my community -- I've had to endure ostracism from family and friends as a result of openly identifying as an atheist. However, my journey is far from tragic. In founding my organization, Black Nonbelievers, in 2011, I have been fortunate to connect with others who were either raised secular like myself, or who were brought up extremely religious and left it behind. And they have done so bravely, defying the perception and expectation that all blacks blindly accept religion. The Friendly Atheists Next Door . My experience in the secular community as a black atheist has ranged from feeling totally welcome to feeling totally isolated, and even ignored. On the one hand, there is common ground shared -- our nonbelief and even discontent with religion unites us. On the other hand, there is a notion that since we share this common ground that there are no other issues to address. The lack of people of color at secular events is a problem -- partly because there is unawareness of such events existing, but also because there is limited effort placed in accommodation and care. We are sometimes treated as if we are invisible, or even as an afterthought -- which does not make the few persons of color feel welcome. Fortunately, all is not lost. Progress has been made. There are now a number of secular groups that have helped to bring about more diverse representation for people of color, women and children. There is a more concentrated focus on support for the LGBT demographic, as well for others who come from marginalized and disfranchised backgrounds. There are support systems for people who have lost loved ones, yet they have no religious affiliation. Moreover, there is a tremendous amount of literary and artistic talent. Such representation is now reflected at organized events, in leadership, as well as in media coverage. While the number of visible minority atheists is still small, we are here and we're here to stay. We will continue to grow, in both the black and secular communities. We can lead the charge for this change. The more we make our presence known, the better our chances of working together to turn around the disparities we face, and bolster the recognition we so rightly deserve. We are not alone.

Sir Philip Green, pictured with his daughter Chloe, has sold the loss-making BHS department chain for just £1 to a little-known investment firm . Retail tycoon Sir Philip Green has sold struggling BHS for just one pound – a fraction of the £200million he paid for it almost 15 years ago. The billionaire had failed to turn the loss-making department store chain around due to fierce competition from rivals. It was bought yesterday by a little-known investment firm called Retail Acquisitions, raising fears for the jobs of 11,000 staff in 171 BHS stores across the country. When asked if their roles were safe, Sir Philip said: ‘I’m a retailer, not a clairvoyant.’ The entrepreneur bought the chain in 2000 when it was called British Home Stores. It joined Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins and Burton as part of his Arcadia Group. But its furniture and fashion – aimed at older customers – struggled to sell well enough to keep up with rivals. Recent attempts to breathe new life into the chain included introducing food halls in some stores, opening new cafes and selling clothes from some of Arcadia’s other brands. But this failed to kick-start growth, and BHS continued to lose customers to cheaper rivals such as IKEA, as well as more upmarket competitors including John Lewis. Sir Philip said the chain made a cash loss of £45million last year. Analysts estimate that it lost 800,000 shoppers over the past five years. The businessman said he had not been able to give BHS as much attention as he would have liked because of the other brands he owns. ‘I don’t think anything went wrong,’ he said. ‘You try being involved in six businesses. ‘I’m not blaming anybody, but when you are in and out of the business you tend to drift. You can’t be an absentee landlord. It is a challenging marketplace and BHS is in the middle of the market at a time when everyone is discounting.’ He said the business is being handed over in a sound financial position with ‘significant’ cash balances and no debt. Sir Philip put BHS up for sale in January. He refused to confirm the sale price yesterday, but this was widely reported as being £1. He also declined to say whether he had secured an agreement that existing stores and jobs would be safeguarded. ‘I don’t want some article saying they will close them,’ he said. ‘I’m a retailer, not a clairvoyant. People buy companies and people sell companies. They are buying the business to run it as a going concern.’ Fears have been expressed over the job security of more than 11,000 staff employed by BHS . Retail Acquisitions is a new business set up by five directors with little experience in the sector. Chairman Keith Smith, 76, is a former stockbroker. Two other directors are lawyers – one specialising in privacy, who has advised Mike Tyson, Ulrika Jonsson and Hugh Grant. Of the firm’s remaining two directors, one is an unknown Swede and the other appears to be a former racing driver. Mr Smith said: ‘This is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into this iconic British high street brand. ‘We are convinced that with strategic and focused support we will return BHS to profitability and safeguard the workforce.’ However, analysts believe the firm may be forced to cut staff. Neil Saunders, a director of research firm Conlumino, said: ‘On the positive side, it is likely the brand will be reinvigorated and see some investment. ‘On the negative side, some restructuring [job cuts] is likely and over the medium term further store closures will likely be required.’

Mr Smith said: ‘This is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into this iconic British high street brand. ‘We are convinced that with strategic and focused support we will return BHS to profitability and safeguard the workforce.’ However, analysts believe the firm may be forced to cut staff. Neil Saunders, a director of research firm Conlumino, said: ‘On the positive side, it is likely the brand will be reinvigorated and see some investment. ‘On the negative side, some restructuring [job cuts] is likely and over the medium term further store closures will likely be required.’ [/INST] Sir Philip Green has sold BHS for just £1 to Retail Acquisitions .

In the closing stages of the RBS 6 Nations’ greatest day, Ben Youngs played like a true champion. But that status eluded him once again — and he knew exactly why. England’s scrum-half had tormented France during the gloriously, bewilderingly compelling match which provided a pulsating finale to Super Saturday. But a fourth successive year as runners-up left the national team shattered, with their gallant role in epic sporting drama serving as meagre consolation. England fell just six points short of being crowned Six Nations champions . A 55-35 victory over France was not enough for England to overhaul Ireland at the top of the standings . And though Youngs had been the catalyst for a daring charge towards the unlikely target of a 26-point winning margin with his two tries, countless line-breaks and dashing creativity, collective disappointment eclipsed any personal pride. As participants and observers alike tried to make sense of a 90-point, 12-try edition of ‘Le Crunch’ which often defied logic, the devastated man of the match pinpointed why there were no medals around English necks. ‘I don’t think the Six Nations title was lost today, it was lost last week, when we missed too many chances,’ he said, in reference to the 25-13 victory over Scotland seven days earlier. ‘We should have been way ahead on points difference going into this game.’ Ben Youngs believes England lost the Six Nations title last week when they only beat Scotland 25-13 . England had many chances to beat Scotland by a bigger margin last weekend at Twickenham . Correct. It would have deprived a captivated audience of an absorbing spectacle spanning three high-octane games, but England could have made Saturday’s fixtures in Rome and Edinburgh all but irrelevant if they hadn’t squandered a raft of try-scoring openings in round four. If Stuart Lancaster’s men had merely needed to win, they would not have scorched the earth as they did time and again in front of a fervent crowd, but it is highly likely they would have secured their prize. Instead, they ran amok to amass a record total against their cross-Channel rivals, only to be left six points short and inches from glory as a rolling maul at the end threatened to bring the house down until referee Nigel Owens penalised the hosts to signal the dying of the light. After familiar English dejection and an outpouring of Irish euphoria as Joe Schmidt’s team retained their title on points difference, the inquests began at Twickenham. George North's inspired performance helped Wales to a 61-20 win over Italy to put them in with a shout . Ireland thrashed Scotland 40-10 at Murrayfield to overhaul Wales, and England fell short in their response . Circumstances demanded an adventurous streak and the upshot was seven tries against opponents who had conceded just two in their previous four games. A torrent of quick lineouts and tapped penalties, heads-up running and off-loading made for a stirring sight but, while the real damage had been done a week before, there were also fresh faults. For all his evident pride, backs coach Andy Farrell will not have been amused to see England concede five tries at home, even though they had to go for broke. When Vincent Debaty rounded off a stunning French raid on the hour, Youngs wore a thunderous look. ‘They took their tries well but we’ve got to be better than that,’ he said. ‘It was one step forward, one step back. For every good thing we did, we weren’t able to keep backing it up. If we can be a bit smarter in defence, that is the way for us to play.’ England’s expansive approach was certainly effective and pleasing to the eye, but there was a period in the first half when they became too frantic, when a composed outlook would have told them to build a score patiently. Stuart Lancaster has seen his side finish as runners-up in the Six Nations for four years in a row . Still, criticism must be tempered in the context of a 20-point thumping of a French team which bore no resemblance to the rabble of previous weekends. For Youngs, there was irritation that their opponents had fought hard while Scotland and Italy had presented limited resistance to the other title challengers. ‘France turned up — I don’t know what happened to Italy or Scotland,’ he said. ‘We knew we were going to be chasing it and we did that. But it was shame those other teams weren’t a bit more resilient.’ France’s resilience brought out the best in several England players besides Youngs. Captain Chris Robshaw strove to carry the ball and the team heroically while James Haskell was in the sin bin for a rash trip in the second half. Billy Vunipola completed another 80 minutes of surging intensity and out wide, Jack Nowell had been peripheral early on but by the end he was rampant and had another two tries. England started their campaign with a morale-boosting win over World Cup Group A rivals Wales . English thoughts of ‘if only’ have become an annual routine and this year they have cause to lament the failure to cope with an aerial barrage in Dublin and their profligacy against Scotland. The second-half efforts against Wales and France represented their peaks and as Courtney Lawes noted, with the World Cup in mind they will take heart from recent wins over Pool A rivals Wales and Australia. Twickenham was loud and proud on Saturday evening and with five consecutive victories there, Lancaster’s side are enjoying a spell of home rule at just the right time. The performances of George Ford, Jonathan Joseph and Nowell have generated optimism, and while inside centre remains a problem position, in most areas there are now multiple options. The likes of Manu Tuilagi, Joe Launchbury and Alex Corbisiero face a battle to reclaim lost places. As they stood in their post-match huddle, England were no doubt exhausted and demoralised. Finishing second again suggests they are stuck on a plateau but, in certain respects, this performance represented telling and timely progress.

Beer is one of the world's most ancient brews and has played an essential role in society - both for its nutritional and ritual importance - for millennia. Now, 5,000-year-old fragments of pottery used by ancient Egyptians to make beer, have been discovered on a building site in Tel Aviv, Israel. The pottery shards come from large ceramic basins, which were used to prepare fruity beer that was left to ferment under the sun. Scroll down for video . ‘Among the hundreds of pottery shards (pictured) that characterise the local culture, a number of fragments of large ceramic basins were discovered that were made in an Egyptian tradition and were used to prepare beer,’ Dr Barkan said . Diego Barkan, of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, said that 17 pits were found that had been used to store produce in the Early Bronze Age, from 3,500 to 3,000 BC. Beer was the favourite drink of humans and gods in ancient Egypt. It was also drank by rich and poor, adults and children. This was because it was cleaner than water, which came from a river or canal and was often polluted. Beer was considered as staple, along with bread, Reshafim.org reported. Workers were paid with bread, oil, beer and vegetables by their employers. The standard ration was two jars containing three-and-a-half pints (two litres) of beer. Just like today, the Egyptians liked their beer cooled and kept jars in water. ‘Among the hundreds of pottery shards that characterise the local culture, a number of fragments of large ceramic basins were discovered that were made in an Egyptian tradition and were used to prepare beer,’ he said in a statement. The vessels were made with ‘straw temper’ and other organic material to strengthen them – a method which was not in local potteries. The excavation is the first to offer evidence of an ‘Egyptian occupation’ in the centre of Tel Aviv 5,000 years ago. As well as the basins, a bronze dagger and 6,000-year-old flint tools were uncovered. Dr Barken said: ‘This is also the northernmost evidence we have of an Egyptian presence in the early Bronze Age. ‘Until now we were only aware of an Egyptian presence in the northern Negev and southern coastal plain, whereby the northernmost point of Egyptian occupation occurred in Azor.

The tomb of Khonso Em Heb, who lived 3,200 years ago, was found by a Japanese team and has been been described as 'one of the most important discoveries' made at the Thebes necropolic site in the city of Luxor. Egypt's antiquities minister Mohamed Ibrahim described Khonso Em Heb as the chief ‘maker of beer for gods of the dead'. He was thought to be the head of a warehouse and judging by the decorations in his tomb was an important and wealthy man. The walls of the tomb contain paintings showing everyday life and rituals. ‘Now we know that they also appreciated what the Tel Aviv region had to offer and that they too knew how to enjoy a glass of beer, just as Tel Avivians do today’. According to the antiquities authority, ‘beer was the Egyptian national drink and was a staple along with bread.’ It said beer was consumed by the entire population of Egypt, regardless of age, gender or status. ‘It was made from a mixture of barley and water that was partially baked and then left to ferment in the sun. ‘Various fruit concentrates were added to this mixture in order to flavour the beer.’ The mixture was filtered in special vessels before serving. Previous excavations carried out in Egypt's Delta region uncovered breweries that indicate beer was already being produced in the mid-fourth millennium BC, the Israeli authority said.

Britons who are now in their twenties and thirties will own half as many homes in their lifetime as their parents, a study has shown. According to the research, today’s twenty and thirty-somethings will own an average of 1.7 homes over their lifetime, compared to 3.2 homes for the over-50s. The study, carried out by LV= home insurance, found that a third of homeowners are stuck in homes that are too small for them, but are unable to upsize. Almost a quarter said they could not raise the deposit for a bigger home, while a sixth said they were waiting for prices to drop before even contemplating a move. According to the research, today’s twenty and thirty-somethings will own an average of 1.7 homes over their lifetime, compared to 3.2 homes for the over-50s . Experts blamed rising prices – which have also meant higher stamp duty charges, legal fees and estate agent costs – as well as a housing shortage and stricter mortgage lending criteria which was introduced last April. Many families have instead chosen to stay put and extend their current homes. And moving house has become so unattainable that many Britons said they are already in their ‘forever’ home, including one in five people in their thirties.

Selwyn Fernandes, of LV=, said: ‘While owning your own home was achievable for the previous generation, it is an impossible dream for many today. ‘Rising house prices and strict lending criteria are now not only preventing people from buying their own home, but they are also stopping many homeowners from moving, forcing them to modify their homes instead.’ Paula Higgins of the HomeOwners’ Alliance, said: ‘This survey suggests many are stuck in homes which may be unsuitable because they cannot afford to move.

Lloyds Bank said Oxford was the UK’s least affordable city, followed by Winchester, Cambridge, Chichester, Brighton and Hove, Bath and London. Stirling, in Scotland, was the most affordable, with Londonderry, Northern Ireland, close behind, as well as Lancaster, Bradford and Hereford.

The Australian businessman who allegedly masterminded an international paedophile ring has labelled himself 'bigger than Ben-Hur', maintaining that he isn't worried about what people think of him. Peter Gerard Scully, 51, was arrested in the Philippines in February on charges of sexually abusing 11 children, the youngest of whom was only 18 months old, and killing another young girl, but says he isn't concerned about being sentenced to life in prison. 'I get bigger than Ben-Hur and people get interested. There is nothing I can do about it, so why worry about it?' Scully said. Scroll down for video . Peter Gerard Scully alleged operated an international paedophile ring that served Australian clients, according to AFP investigators. 'If I get sentenced, I get sentenced. That is something out of my control,' he told The Sydney Morning Herald. Scully has been accused of sexually abusing two girls, aged 10, and 11, and forcing them to dig their own graves while they were held captive in his house. While the former businessman admitted they stayed in his house, he would not confirm the abuse. 'Accusations are [a] lot stronger than what really happened. That is something to talk about in the court which is the proper forum. There's nothing I can do to change what they [the girls] said,' Scully said. Videos seized in the Philippines last week allegedly show one of Scully's victims, a 13-year-old girl, being forced to perform lewd acts with a baby aged one and girl toddler aged five, leading to renewed calls to reintroduce the death penalty. The videos, including one called 'The Destruction of Daisy' shows whipping and torture along with other horrific acts, and was described by police as the most shocking child pornography that has ever been discovered in the Philippines. 'You are looking at recruitment of children to then be abused, to perform sexual acts for offenders that are scattered all over the world. It is horrific,' said Margaret Akullo from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. As a result of the horrific nature of his alleged crimes, the 51-year-old said he had been threatened by prisoners in the jail in southern city of Cagayan de Oro. Scully said that he was trying to avoid confrontation in order to not be harmed by any of the 300 prisoners in the jail, but that they were actively trying to scare him. Scully, who fled to Manila from Melbourne in 2011 after being accused of 117 fraud and deception offences, allegedly established a lucrative business live-streaming videos in a 'pay for view' scheme . Peter Gerald Scully (right) was arrested for human trafficking and child porn-related offences arising from his alleged sexual abuse of Filipino girls which was filmed and then posted online for paying clients . Scully, who fled to Manila from Melbourne in 2011 after being accused of 117 fraud and deception offences, allegedly established a lucrative business live-streaming videos in a 'pay for view' scheme. Police alleged Scully would undertake acts in response to requests from his clients from across the globe, who paid to live-stream videos of children being tortured and sexually abused. The former businessman claimed his internet marketing business was the reason for his move from Melbourne to the Philippines in 2011 as a result of lower wage costs. Scully is a father of two children, now both adults, and claims to have been married to the same Chinese woman three times before divorcing. He was arrested on February 20 after the body of a teenage girl was found buried under a house he rented in Malaybalay, Bukidnon, and he was formally charged on Friday. It is claimed he abused more than a dozen children in the three years he was in the Philippines, during which time he moved house frequently and assembled a team of more than four foreign accomplices and half a dozen Filipino workers for his 'pay for view' online child pornography business. Scully allegedly scammed more than $2.68 million from 20 investors in an investment scheme and was under investigation from 2009 by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission.

He returned to Australia accompanied by a Malaysian teenager named Ling in 2011, who was believed to be his 'girlfriend' before he turned her into a prostitute, associates claim. The death penalty was suspended in the Philippines in 2006, but an influential conservative politician told The Sydney Morning Herald that the Australian's alleged crimes were so depraved he should be put to death. 'The Philippine government should directly and seriously address the problem of paedophilia, child exploitation and sexual abuse by supporting the move to reimpose the death penalty,' Nationalist People's Coalition MP Sherwin Gatchalian said. An extremely graphic and distressing account by two young girls, who survived the trauma of Scully's alleged torturous abuse, paints a horrifying picture of what at least a dozen children are alleged to have endured in his home. Cousins, going by the name of Daisy,11, and and Queenie, 10, told rappler news site about the fateful day in September 2014 when they were approached by Scully's live-in partner, Carme Ann 'Angel' Alvarez. Alvarez, who was only 17 at the time and an alleged former victim of Scully's, offered the girls food at Centrio Mall in Cagayan de Oro City and then invited them back to their house. Daisy said when they got to the house, Alvarez bathed the girls while Scully, who she referred to as the 'American', videoed them. The next morning the girls were asked to start digging a hole in the ground but had no idea why they had been asked to do the unusual task. It was then after lunch that things became even more disturbing when allegedly Scully undressed the girls and told them to kiss each other.

If you've waited until the last minute to book a holiday over Easter weekend, eurozone sunspots are offering plenty of great getaway bargains this spring, a new study suggests. Thanks to a strong pound, the Algarve in Portugal is the cheapest beach resort for a family break, according to a Post Office Travel Money report. Those who aren't sold on Portugal can find similar bargains in the Spanish Costas, Tenerife and Cyprus. Scroll down for video . The Algarve region in Portugal offers the best getaway bargain for the long Easter weekend, a study found . In the Algarve, the cost of meals, drinks and ice creams has dropped 20 per cent over the past year following the pound's rise against the euro. A meal including drinks will cost a family of four just £29.87, which is almost £7 less than last year. The story is similar in the other eurozone resorts, with prices in the Costas almost as cheap as the Algarve following a 15 per cent drop from 2014. Although slightly more expensive, Tenerife and Cyprus also offer tourists exceptional bang for their buck, the study said. Perhaps most important for holidaymakers, the Canary Islands and Cyprus offer more guaranteed spring sunshine than their bargain counterparts. Towns like Albufeira, Portugal (pictured) offer savings of 20 per cent from last year, the study said . In the Spanish Costas, like Costa Blanca (pictured), prices are almost as low as Portugal's Algarve region . Andrew Brown of Post Office Travel Money said in a statement: 'Although holidaymakers will get far more travel cash for their pounds in the eurozone, prices vary significantly between resorts, so the best advice is for canny travellers to cherry pick and book a resort where prices are cheapest.' 'It will be hard to beat Portugal and Spain but, as the weather warms up, Greece is shaping up to be great value too. 'Resorts in Italy and France are more expensive but the good news is that there are big savings for those who want to visit Sorrento or Nice.' Cyprus, while more expensive than Portugal or Spain, does still offer substantial savings - and lots of sunshine . Both Cyprus and Tenerife (pictured) boast the most guaranteed spring sunshine among the eurozone . But Britons looking to save would be wise to stay away from the US, especially in light of a poor exchange rate. For those truly eager to head across the pond, the best value can be found in the family-favourite destination of Orlando, Florida, but prices are still far cheaper on this side of the Atlantic. In Orlando, prices for the six family items surveyed by the Post Office cost twice as much as the Algarve - £68.39 in the home of Walt Disney World compared with £34.31 in the Portuguese coastal region.

A Labour MP is to repay expenses after claiming the cost of a poppy wreath to honour the war dead on Remembrance Day. Sarah Champion admitted the claim 'should never have been made' and will return the £17 to the expenses watchdog this week. The MP, who was the star of a documentary about life in the Commons, billed the taxpayer for the tribute last November. Labour MP Sarah Champion billed the taxpayer £17 for a poppy wreath for Remembrance Day . According to official releases from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, Miss Champion submitted the claim for 'Wreath for Remembrance Sunday', describing it as 'necessary expenses to 11/11/14'. IPSA paid the £17, despite MPs being banned from claiming for wreaths. Miss Champion was elected as MP for Rotherham in 2012 after Labour's Denis Macshane quit before being jailed over his expenses. The revelation about the wreath is embarrassing for an MP who has built a reputation for railing against the Westminster Establishment. Andy Silvester, from the Taxpayers' Alliance, told The Sun: 'Trying to put the bill on somebody else to honour our servicemen and women is downright low. 'And then IPSA approving it shows just how out of touch this monster of a quango is.' The Rotherham MP admitted the claim 'should never have been made' and will return the £17 to the expenses watchdog this week . Miss Champion told the newspaper: 'The claim should never have been made so I'll reimburse IPSA on Monday.' When details of MPs' expense claims were leaked in 2009, it emerged a number of senior politicians had claimed taxpayers' money to pay for wreaths. Labour's Ed Balls put in claims for two wreaths worth £33 in August 2007, but the Commons fees office wrote back stating that the Commons department of finance and administration 'disallows costs relating to wreaths and other related expenses'. Tory Boris Johnson and former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy also claimed for the cost of a Remembrance wreath. An IPSA spokesman said: 'We publish all details of what has happened and also what MPs claim. In this case, we will be seeking a repayment from the MP.'

Mr Ambrey had missed his train stop after a night out in Manchester and was walking home when he collapsed onto the carriageway at New Mills Newtown in Derbyshire. Derby Crown Court heard other drivers saw an object in their headlights but Wild, 74, who was driving home from a casino in the early hours, hit 61-year-old Mr Ambrey after thinking he was a bin bag. When the farmer and businessman, realised what had happened, he dragged Mr Ambrey’s lifeless body to the side of the road and lied about what happened. Shockingly, Wild made no attempt to seek help before abandoning Mr Ambrey and driving home to bed. He has now been handed a 17-month jail sentence after committing the ‘grotesque act’. The court heard Mr Ambrey, who was the former chief executive of Central Manchester Primary Health Care Trust, suffered from advanced MND. On the night of the tragedy, he had been out with friends in Manchester before making his way home to Hazel Grove, near Stockport, on the last train at 11.10pm. His companions said they did not consider him to be drunk. But after he missed his stop, he waited until Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, to get off the train. He was seen walking home along the A6 at New Mills Newtown some three miles away. At around 1.30am, a couple had driven past on the other side of the road and saw Mr Ambrey fall and hit his head. But he sat up in the road and appeared to be searching for his glasses. Seconds later, Wild's large Mitsubishi Shogun passed them heading towards him. Another driver flashed his headlights when he saw the vehicle approaching. He thought it would stop, but the driver made no attempt to slow down or steer around the object. The court heard the car drove over it and dragged what looked like 'a dummy' along before it came to a stop and a man got out. Julia King, prosecuting, said said: 'Ultimately and tragically he stumbled into the road and fell and was hit by Wild's car.' Mr Ambrey was walking home after a night out with friends when he collapsed onto the carriageway at New Mills Newtown (pictured) in Derbyshire and was run over by Joseph Wild . Moments later, John Redfearn drove past Wild's 4x4 and after seeing a badly injured man, he quickly turned his car round and went back to the scene. 'He saw Wild standing next to his car,' said Ms King. 'When Mr Redfearn asked what had happened, Wild said he had found the body and dragged it to the side of the road.' Wild had asked Mr Redfearn if he had a phone, who ‘in his panic’ had forgotten he had his mobile with him, she added. But after driving off, he called police to report what he had seen. And by the time another motorist passed the scene and saw the body, Wild was nowhere to be seen. He had stopped for just two-and-a-half minutes before leaving the scene. Police pieced together evidence from witnesses and CCTV footage, tracing Wild to his farmhouse 12 hours later. He told officers he had seen the body in the road and thought it was a bin bag – and added it was only when he stopped that he realised it was a man, who he said was cold so must have been dead for some time. Wild had also falsely claimed a taxi had stopped and he spoke to the driver, who said he would ring 999, before he eventually drove off. Ms King added: 'It's highly improbable he engaged in conversation with any taxi driver. Despite an appeal, no taxi driver ever came forward.' Mr Ambrey was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination found he had died instantly from severe head and body injuries. It also emerged that Mr Ambrey was suffering from an undiagnosed heart condition, which was probably what had caused him to collapse into the road. It was established that he could not have been there any longer than 45 seconds. Wild's car was travelling at or just above the 30mph, which investigators said would have given him at least five seconds to stop or take evasive action. The injuries showed that the 4x4 had run right over Mr Ambrey and dragged him just 12 yards down the carriageway. In mitigation, David Toal said neither speed nor alcohol were a factor in the 'sad tragic event', but he admitted Wild's later actions 'aggravated' what had taken place. 'Everyone has made a mistake and almost always they don't result in any consequences let alone the death of an individual,' he said. Derby Crown Court (pictured) heard Wild made no attempt to seek help before abandoning Mr Ambrey and driving home to bed . 'His mistake cost the life of Mr Ambrey and he will have to live with that for the rest of his life. 'He cannot explain what he did afterwards, but he understands it was totally wrong and why Mr Ambrey's family feel like they do.' He said Wild, of Chinley, Derbyshire, was a well-respected member of his local community, who had worked hard all his life running his family's farm and butcher's business. The judge described Mr Ambrey as 'a kind and generous man' who was dealing with advanced MND with 'characteristic courage'. He accepted nothing he could say would bring his family any comfort. Judge Gosling told Wild his actions 'beggared belief'. He said: 'If events had taken a different turn his family could have perhaps forgiven you but they can never come to terms with what you did next. 'There is nothing to suggest you are a callous man, you were in deep shock and now you have expressed your remorse. 'But that cannot excuse what you did. Grotesquely you dragged his body to the side of the road and there you left him.' The judge added: 'You made a conscious decision to drive off, confident that you would not be traced and if you were you could maintain the lie. 'It absolutely beggars belief you could leave Mr Ambrey where he was and you could drive home, make no call to anyone and go to bed. 'You either did not think about or care about who happened upon the scene that you left behind. Those people did what they could to give him some dignity.' Wild, who pleaded guilty to causing Mr Ambrey's death by careless driving on March 23 last year and failing to report an accident, was told he must serve at least half his sentence in jail. Passing sentence, Judge Gosling added: 'You lied and said the body was cold and that you had found it in the road. You also lied about the taxi driver and that you had done what you could, and then left the scene. 'I'm afraid they were all calculated lies.'

Roy Hodgson must convince Saido Berahino that his international future is with England after the forward received an official approach from Burundi. Berahino, who has scored 16 times for West Brom in the Barclays Premier League this season, was called into the England squad for the first time in November. The striker was born in Burundi and a delegation of officials from the tiny country in south-east Africa have been courting him this week. Saido Berahino (left, in action for West Brom against Aston Villa) has impressed England boss Roy Hodgson . Berahino was called in to the senior England squad last November but is also wanted by his native Burundi . Burundi, 126th in the FIFA rankings, play Mauritius in a friendly on March 25 and want to name the West Brom forward in their squad. England’s head coach names his squad on Thursday for the Euro 2016 clash with Lithuania on March 27 at Wembley and the friendly in Turin against Italy four days later. Berahino has yet to represent the England team and he would still be permitted to switch nationalities under FIFA rules. Hodgson’s striking options have been swelled by the return from injury of Daniel Sturridge, along with regular forwards Danny Welbeck and England captain Wayne Rooney. Hodgson has already made it clear that he intends to select Tottenham forward Harry Kane when he names his squad at the national stadium next week. Berahino celebrates scoring for England's U21s but can switch allegiances having not played for the seniors . Berahino trains with the senior England squad in November (left) and in action for the U21s . Kane, who is the Spurs squad travelling to Manchester United on Sunday, has scored 16 times in the Barclays Premier League and was named player of the month for the second time on Friday. His emergence means Hodgson has a dilemma over who to select as his fifth striker. Berahino, an England Under-21 international, was named in the full squad for the first time in November for the clashes with Slovenia in a Euro 2016 qualifier and the friendly with Scotland at Celtic Park. He was an unused substitute in both games, but Hodgson predicted a bright future for the forward after he spent a week training with the national team.

A disgusted father was horrified to find maggots wriggling around in a steak and kidney pie when he opened it to cook for his children. Stuart Pay, 39, had opened the oven to cook the Fray Bentos pie when he noticed chunks of its pastry were missing. After taking a closer look, the electrician from Evesham, Worcester, saw three tiny maggots swimming around in the £2.49 pie. Stuart Pay was horrified to discover three maggots swimming in the Fray and Bentos steak and kidney pie he was about to cook for his children . The electrician was about to give the pie to children Cody, four, Kurtis, 12, and Jade, 14 when he noticed the maggots wriggling around . The father of three said he was 'disgusted' by the discovery but was glad to have made it before feeding children Cody, four, Kurtis, 12, and Jade, 14. 'We were about to put it in the oven but then we noticed there was a bit of pastry missing and then we saw the maggots,' he said. 'We were going absolutely mad. We were disgusted. 'I will never buy them again. I will never buy a pie out of a tin again. 'It is disgusting. It could have made my kids ill because at the start I just thought some of the pastry casing was missing but then I looked further. 'So the maggots must have eaten it away. It is very gross. I only bought the pie days before. It is really horrible.' The 39-year-old said he fears the maggots may have landed up in the pie after flies laid eggs in its case in the factory. Baxters, who produces the product, has not commented . Mr Pay said he would never buy another pie from the company again after the 'disgusting' discovery . Mr Pay added he thought the maggots may have wormed their way into the pie when it was being made in a factory. 'We think there may have been flies in the factory and they may have laid their eggs in the containers there,' he added. The family bought the pie from their local branch of Iceland just days beforehand. Mrs Pay said the store was however not at fault and that the responsibility lies with Baxters. 'I don't think the store are at fault at all. They cannot see what is inside the pies.' A spokesman for Fray Bentos said: 'We have been informed of the claims made by Mr & Mrs Pay regarding one of our Fray Bentos products and are treating their complaint as a priority.' 'Our immediate request on being contacted was to ask for the product to be returned so we could instigate an internal investigation into the can and its contents. 'As of yet we have not received the product therefore it is impossible for us to speculate further on these claims.'

A 16-year-old schoolboy hanged himself in a ‘horrible mistake’ as he experimented to see how Hollywood legend Robin Williams died, an inquest has heard. Temidayo Joseph died in his bedroom in August last year just hours after collecting his GCSE results. The talented footballer, known to his friends as Temi, was found hanged in his bedroom by his mother Kate Ibok. Temidayo Joseph, 16, was found hanged in his bedroom by his mother hours after collecting his GCSE results . An inquest at Essex Coroner’s Court today heard that in the days leading up to the teenager’s death, the ‘lively and popular’ youngster had spoken with a cousin in Nigeria about the actor. The court heard no suicide note was found and a police report concluded that the youngster had no intention of killing himself. Essex Coroner Eleanor McGann said: ‘There was a conversation which took place about big news in the media about the death of Robin Williams. ‘Temi had said ‘I don’t understand why somebody would do this to themself’.. ‘It’s perfectly possible that he did not have any idea how easy it is to hang yourself by mistake.’ She added: ‘That would seem to fit with this happy little boy with an enquiring mind who has made a horrible mistake. An inquest at Essex Coroner’s Court today heard that in the days leading up to the teenager’s death, the ‘lively and popular’ youngster had spoken with a cousin in Nigeria about the death of actor Robin Williams (pictured) Detective Sergeant Tara Barnes told the inquest she had concluded her report into the death by saying: ‘I had no information that his intention was to kill himself.’ Tragically, a fellow student at his school - The Ockendon Academy in Thurrock, Essex – was found dead in South Ockenden just two weeks ago. An inquest into the death of Toni Connell, which was opened and adjourned today, heard that the 15-year-old was also found hanged. Her mother Amanda Connell, 46, has blamed exam pressure for the death of her daughter. She said last week: ‘I have lost a big part of my life and I put it down to the school putting so much stress on my daughter.’ But the coroner today ruled out the same reason as the cause of Temi’s death. Although he had gained just three C grades, the inquest heard that academy staff had taken steps to warn Temi, who dreamed about becoming a professional footballer, about what kind of grades he would be getting. Essex Coroner Eleanor McGann recorded a verdict of accidental death and said the teenager had 'everything to live for'. Pictured, Temi as a child (left) and with his mother Kate Ibok (right) His family said he had been looking forward to enrolling at college. Recording a verdict of accidental death, Mrs McGann said: ‘It is very easy to jump to the conclusion someone has got their GCSE results and think he has hanged himself. ‘That conclusion, in this case, would be wrong. ‘He got the results he expected to get - he knew what pathway he would follow.’ She added: ‘There was no evidence at all that Temi wanted to kill himself - quite the contrary this was a young man with everything to live for. Temidayo's father Vincent Joseph (pictured today) said his son was a 'lovely young man' ‘He had a loving and sound extended family, lots of support and was very popular at school, not just with pupils but teachers as well. ‘Why on earth would he intend to kill himself? ‘I am not satisfied, so that I am sure, that he intended to kill himself that day and therefore I am not returning a verdict of suicide. She added that although he had discussed the death of Robin Williams, ‘there is nothing to show he intended to die’. She concluded it was a ‘tragic accident of a young boy simply trying to work out how something has been done and it went horribly wrong.’ After the verdict, Temi’s devastated father Vincent, 54, from Waterloo in London, wept as he described his ‘talented son’. He said: ‘I did not know about the link to Robin Williams before we went into the inquest. ‘Temidayo was a lovely young man and a great character. ‘He did not intend to kill himself - he was a very talented boy and lived for his football - that’s all he wanted to do. ‘I was so happy when I stood by him to hear him call me father. I have lost a good friend.’ Temi’s mother, who was not present at today’s inquest, has temporarily moved back to Nigeria with his 12-year-old sister, Christiana, 12, to cope with her grief.

<s>[INST] A 16-year-old schoolboy hanged himself in a ‘horrible mistake’ as he experimented to see how Hollywood legend Robin Williams died, an inquest has heard. Temidayo Joseph died in his bedroom in August last year just hours after collecting his GCSE results. The talented footballer, known to his friends as Temi, was found hanged in his bedroom by his mother Kate Ibok. Temidayo Joseph, 16, was found hanged in his bedroom by his mother hours after collecting his GCSE results . An inquest at Essex Coroner’s Court today heard that in the days leading up to the teenager’s death, the ‘lively and popular’ youngster had spoken with a cousin in Nigeria about the actor. The court heard no suicide note was found and a police report concluded that the youngster had no intention of killing himself. Essex Coroner Eleanor McGann said: ‘There was a conversation which took place about big news in the media about the death of Robin Williams. ‘Temi had said ‘I don’t understand why somebody would do this to themself’.. ‘It’s perfectly possible that he did not have any idea how easy it is to hang yourself by mistake.’ She added: ‘That would seem to fit with this happy little boy with an enquiring mind who has made a horrible mistake. An inquest at Essex Coroner’s Court today heard that in the days leading up to the teenager’s death, the ‘lively and popular’ youngster had spoken with a cousin in Nigeria about the death of actor Robin Williams (pictured) Detective Sergeant Tara Barnes told the inquest she had concluded her report into the death by saying: ‘I had no information that his intention was to kill himself.’ Tragically, a fellow student at his school - The Ockendon Academy in Thurrock, Essex – was found dead in South Ockenden just two weeks ago. An inquest into the death of Toni Connell, which was opened and adjourned today, heard that the 15-year-old was also found hanged. Her mother Amanda Connell, 46, has blamed exam pressure for the death of her daughter. She said last week: ‘I have lost a big part of my life and I put it down to the school putting so much stress on my daughter.’ But the coroner today ruled out the same reason as the cause of Temi’s death.

The world's greatest private collection of coins is expected to sell for $220million (£150million) in a record-breaking series of seven auctions at Sotherby's and Stack's Bowers Galleries. Gathered over more than 30 years by Texas property developer A. Mack Pogue and his son, D. Brent Pogue, the collection contains coins from the early years of the American republic, from 1792 to the 1830s. These are the most sought-after U.S. coins in existence, as the crude production techniques of the period meant that the coins were fragile, making surviving high-quality examples are extremely rare. Scroll down for video . A treasure trove: An extraordinary 1822 five dollar gold coin, worth $8million, is up for auction. Pictured heads (left) and tails (right) Intricate: An 1804 silver dollar piece, pictured heads (left) and tails (right), the most famous American coin in the world, is worth $8 to $10million . Exquisite: A rare 1796 quarter dollar coin, shown heads (left) and tails (right), is expected to fetch up to $1million . Valuable: This 1797 half dollar coin is worth up to $1.75million. Pictured heads (left) and tails (right) Gathered over more than 30 years by Texas property developer A. Mack Pogue and his son, D. Brent, this is considered the most valuable collection of federal American coins dating from the 1790s to the late 1830s in private hands. An 1822 Half Eagle five-dollar gold piece, one of only three known to exist, and an 1804 Silver Dollar dubbed the 'King of American Coins' are expected to be among the top lots when the collection is sold in a series of auctions in New York beginning in May and continuing into 2017. 'These two coins in particular, we think, have a possibility of being up around that $10 million mark,' said Brian Kendrella, the president of Stack's Bowers Galleries. The rare coin and currency auctioneer, which is handling the sales with Sotheby's, believes the coins could shatter the $10 million record set in 2013 for a 1794 Silver Dollar. The Pogue collection includes two examples of the coveted 1804 silver dollar, considered to be the most famous coin in America, which is known as 'the pinnacle of coin collecting'. One of these is valued at $9.8million (£6.7million). Notably, it was presented to the Sultan of Muscat in 1835. D. Brent Pogue, from Dallas, Texas, has now decided to 'cash in his cash' by auctioning off more than 650 individual coins at a number of Sotheby's and Stack's Bowers Galleries sales over the next two years. Experts expect the collection to sell for almost $220million (£150million), more than any other series of rare coins. On Friday, Sotheby's showed off the jaw-dropping collection at its saleroom in New Bond Street, London. David Redden, Sotheby's vice chairman, said: 'To have the world's most valuable private coin collection available for viewing and sale in our galleries is a huge privilege and a great responsibility. 'Sotheby's and Stacks Bowers have worked fruitfully together in the past, notably on the sales of the 1933 Gold Double Eagle for $7.6 million and the Dallas Bank Collection. 'The D. Brent Pogue Collection will be a thrilling addition to that auction history.' A highlight of the collection is a $5 gold piece, known as the 1822 Gold Eagle, which is thought to be one of three in existence, and the only one in private hands. Considered the most desirable US gold coin outside of public collections, it is expected to sell for around $8.8million (£6 million). The 1797 Half Dollar, considered the most beautiful and best-preserved example of a design used for only two years, is the most valuable half dollar in existence. It is anticipated to sell for $1.5million (£1million). And the 1808 Quarter Eagle, which is a $2.50 coin, is also expected to sell for around $1.5million (£1million), which is 500,000 times its face value.The coin was previously owned by the Maryland banker Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr, and the early 20th Century beer magnate Virgil M. Brand, according to Catholic Online. Half Eagle coins have been widely collected over the years by notable figures including the banker J.P. Morgan. Handle with care: A Sotheby's employee holds a selection of American coins including a 1822 Half Eagle, or Five Dollar Gold Piece, and an 1804 silver dollar, both estimated to be worth between $8 and $10 million. The coins are part of the most valuable collection in the world, that is being sold in a series of auctions ending in May 2017 . Precious: This 1804 silver dollar, left and right, is estimated to be worth between $8 and $10million. D. Brent Pogue, who assembled the collection with his father, described selling his collection as 'bittersweet' Most of the coins were made during a time when small mintages and crude production facilities at the Philadelphia Mint made the survival of any high-quality coins unlikely. Each steel die used to strike coins in the early 1800s was painstakingly produced by hand, creating variations that are prized by collectors. The first sale, by Sotheby's and Stack's Bowers Galleries, will be on 19 May and there will be six further auctions with the final sale in May 2017. D. Brent Pogue, who assembled the collection with the help of his property developer father, described the sale as 'bittersweet'. He said: 'I feel now is the time to pass the torch to a new generation of custodians, who can appreciate the legacy of these great American coins. 'These coins conjure up many fond memories, and I hope the new owners will enjoy them as much as I have.' Coin sales are driven by the economy, but Brian Kendrella, the president of Stack's Bowers Galleries, said investors and collectors are also lured by the rarity, uniqueness, condition and historical significance of coins. 'They are artefacts that speak to what was going on in the United States at the time these coins were made,' he said. 'That's one of the main draws.' Perfection: This 1795 Eagle ten dollar gold piece (left and right) is one of the most perfectly preserved 18th Century U.S. gold coins in the world . In awe: A Sotheby's employee holds an American 1804 silver dollar, estimated to be worth between $8 and $10million, which is part of the famous Pogue coin collection, the most valuable private collection of coins in the world, that is currently being auctioned off in sections . With a dozen coins selling for $1 million or more in 2014, and the first gold coin struck for the United States fetching $4.5 million, the nonprofit Professional Numismatists Guild estimates the overall U.S. rare coin market to be worth about $5 billion. Walter Husak, a retired aerospace entrepreneur based in California, knows just how lucrative it can be. A collection of 301 rare penny coins dating from 1793 to 1814, which he gathered over more than 13 years, sold in 2008 for $10.7 million - about double what he invested in it. 'I never thought it would go up that much,' he said. 'There are a lot of people getting involved in coins.' Barry Stuppler, secretary of the Professional Numismatists Guild, has seen plenty of changes in his 52 years in the coin business. He says that the market has been booming in recent years. 'It is a combination of the economy coming back,' he said, 'and the fact that interest rates are very low.' The internet, he said, also has been 'a tremendous, tremendous source of new buyers and sellers of coins that we didn't have 20 years ago.' Demand for rare, investment-quality coins, graded and certified by the guild and the Florida-based Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, is high and supply is low. 'The rarities do the best, particularly gold and silver coins,' said Stuppler. 'The Pogue Collection is extraordinary.' Enticing: Two stars of the collection.

Authorities say a crash that killed two adults and two small children was no accident, but a murder-suicide. On Dec. 23 Ulysses Montero, 25, was driving with his girlfriend Julie Lopez-Elias, 24, and two of their three children Julissa Montero, 4, and five-day-old Delias Montero when the vehicle crashed into a retention pond in Kissimmee, Florida, WFTV reports. Though the crash was initially believed to be an accident, an autopsy report declared Montero's manner of death a suicide and the others' homicides. Purposely: Police say Ulysses Montero (left) purposely drove a vehicle carrying his girlfriend Julie Lopez-Elias (right) and two of their children into a retention pond in December 2014 . Stacie Miller, a spokeswoman for the Kissimmee Police Department, told the Orlando Sentinel that the medical examiner determined there was no indication that Montero suffered a 'medical episode' prior to the crash. 'It was determined that the driver had physical control of the vehicle prior to entering the pond and that his actions were deliberate and not accidental,' she said. A mechanic determined the car did not have mechanical deficiencies, police say, and video evidence of the crash shows no other vehicles were involved in the incident, WFTV reports. The medical examiner determined that Lopez-Elias and the two children died from drowning. Children: Two of the couple's children, Julissa Montero, 4, (photographed) and five-day-old Delias Montero were in the vehicle at the time, both died from drowning . Reconcile: Police said that Montero had been estranged from Lopez-Elias for months but the two were attempting to reconcile after the birth of their son, Delias (photographed) Investigators determined that Montero purposely drove the black, four-door Chevrolet into the pond on the Valencia College's property. A witness called police after seeing the car run off the road and into the pond, but authorities were unable to rescue the family in time because the water was too deep and murky, the Sentinel reports. Lopez-Elias's family created a fundraising page to cover funeral costs and has since raised more than $10,000. The couple's surviving seven-year-old son is in the care of Lopez-Elias's mother, the Sentinel reports. Rescue: A witness called police after seeing the car run off the road and into the pond, but authorities were unable to rescue the family in time because the water was too deep and murky . Deliberately: Investigators determined that Montero purposely drove the black, four-door Chevrolet sedan into the pond on the Valencia College's property . Anxiety: Montero's family told the Sentinel that the 25-year-old had suffered severe anxiety since he was a child and sometimes he had to be hospitalized due to anxiety attacks . In the days following the incident, police said that Montero had been estranged from Lopez-Elias for months but the two were attempting to reconcile after the birth of their son, Delias. Montero's family told the Sentinel that the 25-year-old had suffered severe anxiety since he was a child and sometimes he had to be hospitalized due to anxiety attacks. Montero and Lopez-Elias' relationship was reportedly strained by Montero's lengthy rap sheet which includes robbery, drug dealing, and illegal possession of a firearm. In February 2014, Montero was arrested for slamming his car into Lopez-Elias'. He had reportedly done so, with his two children in the car, because he was angry at Lopez-Elias for coming home late, .

<s>[INST] Authorities say a crash that killed two adults and two small children was no accident, but a murder-suicide. On Dec. 23 Ulysses Montero, 25, was driving with his girlfriend Julie Lopez-Elias, 24, and two of their three children Julissa Montero, 4, and five-day-old Delias Montero when the vehicle crashed into a retention pond in Kissimmee, Florida, WFTV reports. Though the crash was initially believed to be an accident, an autopsy report declared Montero's manner of death a suicide and the others' homicides. Purposely: Police say Ulysses Montero (left) purposely drove a vehicle carrying his girlfriend Julie Lopez-Elias (right) and two of their children into a retention pond in December 2014 . Stacie Miller, a spokeswoman for the Kissimmee Police Department, told the Orlando Sentinel that the medical examiner determined there was no indication that Montero suffered a 'medical episode' prior to the crash. 'It was determined that the driver had physical control of the vehicle prior to entering the pond and that his actions were deliberate and not accidental,' she said. A mechanic determined the car did not have mechanical deficiencies, police say, and video evidence of the crash shows no other vehicles were involved in the incident, WFTV reports. The medical examiner determined that Lopez-Elias and the two children died from drowning. Children: Two of the couple's children, Julissa Montero, 4, (photographed) and five-day-old Delias Montero were in the vehicle at the time, both died from drowning . Reconcile: Police said that Montero had been estranged from Lopez-Elias for months but the two were attempting to reconcile after the birth of their son, Delias (photographed) Investigators determined that Montero purposely drove the black, four-door Chevrolet into the pond on the Valencia College's property. A witness called police after seeing the car run off the road and into the pond, but authorities were unable to rescue the family in time because the water was too deep and murky, the Sentinel reports. Lopez-Elias's family created a fundraising page to cover funeral costs and has since raised more than $10,000. The couple's surviving seven-year-old son is in the care of Lopez-Elias's mother, the Sentinel reports.

Deliberately: Investigators determined that Montero purposely drove the black, four-door Chevrolet sedan into the pond on the Valencia College's property . Anxiety: Montero's family told the Sentinel that the 25-year-old had suffered severe anxiety since he was a child and sometimes he had to be hospitalized due to anxiety attacks . In the days following the incident, police said that Montero had been estranged from Lopez-Elias for months but the two were attempting to reconcile after the birth of their son, Delias. Montero's family told the Sentinel that the 25-year-old had suffered severe anxiety since he was a child and sometimes he had to be hospitalized due to anxiety attacks. Montero and Lopez-Elias' relationship was reportedly strained by Montero's lengthy rap sheet which includes robbery, drug dealing, and illegal possession of a firearm. In February 2014, Montero was arrested for slamming his car into Lopez-Elias'. He had reportedly done so, with his two children in the car, because he was angry at Lopez-Elias for coming home late, .

Having wrapped up the world’s largest human migration, the Spring Festival season, China is the scene for a breathtaking animal migration this week. Stunning images from The People’s Daily Online show herdsmen transferring 400,000 livestock in knee-deep snow and blizzards in north-west China. Covering more than 300 kilometres (186 miles), the annual animal migration started late last week and is expected to last ten days. Harsh weather: A herdsman drives sheep on a snow-covered path in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture . Strong will: Most of the herdsmen are ethnic residents, such as Kazakhs, who are moving their livestock to spring pastures . Long march: The animal migration covers more than 300 kilometres and is expected to last for 10 days . Far flung: The images were taken in the most north-western part of China near the Kazakhstan border . The extreme journey takes place in the remote Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in north-west China. Ethnic herdsmen must move livestock - consisting mainly of sheep and horses - from the winter pasture in Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture southwards to the grassland in Ili, where the animals will spend spring. The journey follows a passage through Guo Zi Gou, one of China’s most beautiful gorges and a key section on the Silk Road. Crucial passage: The journey passes Guo Zi Gou, one of China's most beautiful gorges that was a section of the Silk Road . Animal adventure: The livestock among the 400,000 animals on the move include sheep and horses . The massive migration is a major task for local administrations. Snow has to be ploughed in advance and emergency forage is arranged in several key locations along the way. Xinjiang is one of the country’s strongest regions for animal husbandry. There are approximately 57.2 million livestock in the province in total. All prepared: Local authorities have arranged snowploughs and emergency foraging for the animals along the way . Almost there: Herdsmen are expected to complete the challenging task by the end of the week .

Human rights lawyers smeared British soldiers with false accusations of the torture and murder or innocent Iraqis, a government dossier claims. A report drawn up on the Prime Minister's orders claims Public Interest Lawyers (PIL) pursued claims against soldiers despite realising the allegations of abuse might have been 'untrue'. It comes after a public inquiry spent £31million exonerating British soldiers of claims they went they went on a killing and torture spree following a fierce battle in southern Iraq in 2004. Scroll down for video . 'False claims': The government may take legal action against Public Interest Lawyers and its chief lawyer, Phil Shiner, left, over allegations the firm smeared British soldiers with false allegations of torture and murder. Right is a picture of the aftermath of the Battle of Danny Boy shown to the five-year Al-Sweady inquiry . After five years of investigations, the Al-Sweady inquiry in December concluded there were some breaches of the Geneva convention following the battle. But it also ruled allegations of murder and torture were based on 'deliberate lies, reckless speculation and ingrained hostility'. Now the government is gearing up to sue law firms for millions of pounds in legal costs and calling for the PIL's chief lawyer, Phil Shiner, to be struck off. The MoD's dossier, seen by at least two Sunday newspapers, accuses PIL and another law firm, Leigh Day, of continuing to pursue the case even after evidence emerged that the allegations may be untrue. It suggests PIL had doubts about the credibility of its clients' evidence as early as March 2013 but failed to withdraw the allegations for another 12 months, Tim Ross of the Sunday Telegraph reported. That led investigators to take evidence from around 100 further witnesses, costing taxpayers an extra £780,000, the paper reported the Government's dossier as saying. It is also alleged that PIL used a local 'agent' to trawl Basra for potential victims, a breach of a ban on solicitors touting for business that brought hundreds of extra claims against the Army. The Birmingham-based law firm even continued to represent one claimant in a separate judicial review after he admitted to Al-Sweady investigators he had lied about his sister dying on the battlefield, the dossier alleges. Leigh Day are accused of failing to disclose a key document for six years, according to the Sun on Sunday. Thorough investigation: British soldiers with an Iraqi detainee following the Battle of Danny Boy in May 2004. Claims troops rounded up civilians for a killing and torture spree following the battle were dismissed . The claims came after the Battle of Danny Boy on May 14 2004, a fierce firefight which erupted when insurgents from the Mahdi Army ambushed a patrol of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Their reinforcements, the 1st Battalion of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, were also ambushed and after three hours of fighting 28 Iraqi fighters had been killed. Claims which subsequently emerged that enraged British soldiers had tortured and executed innocent local people in the aftermath of the battle were dismissed by the Al-Sweady inquiry, which was named for an alleged teenage victim. Former 1st Battalion the Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment corporal Brian Wood has previously told the Daily Mail he felt he and his colleagues who fought in thad 'done the right thing'. Mr Wood, 34, who was awarded the Military Cross for his role in the battle, according to the paper, said: 'We have been dragged through five years of hell. That in my view is a betrayal of our service. 'We did what we had to do as soldiers and we did the right thing.' Ann Hoolin, 50, the mother of soldier Scott Hoolin, told the paper her son was 'upset and disturbed' following the inquiry. 'To be accused of wrongdoing in the aftermath of what happened is disgraceful,' she said. Battlegroud: The Danny Boy checkpoint, near where insurgents from the Mahdi Army ambushed a patrol of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, then their reinforcements, leading to a fierce firefight . Sir Thayne Forbes, the retired judge who led the Al-Sweady inquiry, did find that there had been instances of ill-treatment during 'tactical questioning' of the detainees at Camp Abu Naji, near Majar-al-Kabir in southern Iraq, on the night of May 14/15. These included depriving the prisoners of sight, food and sleep, and using threatening interrogation techniques contrary to the Geneva Convention. It amounted to ill-treatment and fell below the high standard to be expected of the British Army, Sir Thayne said. After Sir Thayne's report, Public Interest Lawyers insisted the inquiry had been 'legally necessary, morally justified and politically required'. Responding to a request for comment on the allegations against PIL and Leigh Day, an MoD spokesman told MailOnline: 'The MoD is assisting the Solicitors Regulation Authority, which is investigating issues that came to light as a result of the Al-Sweady Inquiry.' PIL said last night in a statement seen by the Sunday Telegraph: 'The Al-Sweady inquiry thoroughly investigated the subject of these matters during which no criticisms were made of Public Interest Lawyers or Phil Shiner by the chair.' 'It is not appropriate to comment any further while SRA proceedings are ongoing. 'PIL and Mr Shiner are confident that they have acted in accordance with their professional obligations.'

The BBC has hired bodyguards to protect its director general around the clock after he received a death threat for sacking Jeremy Clarkson. The bill to licence fee payers for extra security is expected to run into thousands of pounds after a menacing email to Tony Hall, apparently from an obsessive Top Gear fan overseas. But Scotland Yard insisted the threat was not considered grave enough to warrant diverting its own officers to guard Lord Hall. Scroll down for video . Close protection: BBC director general Tony Hall, second right, gets out of a Range Rover outside his £1.5million home in Oxfordshire . The BBC has hired bodyguards to protect its director general around the clock after he received a death threat for sacking Jeremy Clarkson . The email was sent on Wednesday, hours after the BBC boss announced that Clarkson’s seven-figure contract would not be renewed after his attack on a Top Gear producer. In response, the BBC hired security firm London Protection Services Ltd to protect Lord Hall, 64, and his wife Cynthia, 62, at a cost estimated at more than £1,000 a day. Guards in marked and unmarked vehicles were seen outside the couple’s £1.5million 18th century home in Oxfordshire. The BBC’s head of security made an urgent appeal on Wednesday for former Special Forces personnel to take part in the operation, the Mail on Sunday reported. A security source told the paper: ‘A select group of close protection officers were told that, as a direct result of the Top Gear punch-up and Jeremy Clarkson being sacked by the BBC, the D-G had received a death threat. ‘Some of the operation was visible, as a deterrent, while other bodyguards would have kept a very low profile.’ Lord Hall sacked Clarkson, 54, after an internal inquiry found he had launched an ‘unprovoked verbal and physical attack’ on junior producer Oisin Tymon, 36. Visible security: Lord Hall leaves his home last week accompanied by guards, with the bill expected to run into the thousands . The row broke out after the star complained no hot food was available at the Yorkshire hotel where the TV crew were staying after a day’s filming. Last night Scotland Yard said police were investigating an allegation of threats to kill after the email to Lord Hall. A spokesman added: ‘Inquiries are ongoing to establish where the email came from. At the moment we think it was sent from abroad. ‘We do not have any officers guarding him. The security is being organised by the BBC.’ Police sources played down the seriousness of the potential threat to Lord Hall. One said: ‘This is very much a local investigation by the bobbies in the borough of Westminster. It would be wrong to think that there are a crack team of detectives on it. ‘We’ve not considered it necessary to take officers away from other duties to guard him.’ Tory politician Philip Davies, who sits on the Commons culture, media and sport committee, said: ‘The police are best placed to know how serious this threat is. Obviously the person who sent it is some kind of nutter. But you never know what these people are capable of. ‘The BBC are in a difficult position. If they do nothing about it and something dreadful happens, they will be criticised. But if they take some action and nothing happens, they will be accused of over-reacting.’ London Protection Services boasts of having 1,000 certified guards available nationwide and is said to charge £300 per man per shift. The BBC said: ‘We wouldn’t comment on security matters.’ n Chris Evans has denied rumours that he is being lined up to replace Clarkson on Top Gear. The Radio 2 and One Show host, 48, who collects classic cars, has said he would not take the job even if it was offered.

(CNN)Last month, my husband and I took our daughters to a Columbia University women's basketball game. We live nearby, had already attended a men's game and were excited for our girls, one of whom plays basketball, to watch college women in action. When we walked into the arena, my mouth practically dropped to the floor. Only a handful of people were there, quite a contrast from the nearly packed house for the men's team. It must be winter break, I thought. It wasn't. Sure, the Columbia women's team hasn't had a great season for years -- and this year wasn't much different. Still, only a handful of spectators to cheer on women who were clearly standouts in their high schools to make it to a college basketball team? I sat on the bench, cheered the women and fumed. How to Super Bowl #LikeAGirl . A few weeks later, the Princeton women's basketball team did something no other Ivy League men's team had done before, racking up 30 wins and zero losses during the regular season and beating the Ivy League season record of 28-0 held by the 1970-71 Penn men's team. (Princeton ended up losing in the second round of the NCAA tournament, finishing with a 31-1 record.) The Princeton team garnered national headlines, which was great, but I still wondered what it was going to take for women's sports to get the same attention as men's sports -- meaning an equal number of fans, TV rights, marketing endorsements, you name it. Is such a day even possible? Consider salaries alone. The average salary for a WNBA player is $72,000, which doesn't include bonuses and benefits, while the average salary for an NBA player is around $5 million, or about 70 times what the average female basketball player makes. And look at the differences in coverage. The Final Four teams for the men's NCAA basketball tournament got front page attention in Monday's New York Times. The women? A story without a photo deep in the sports section. I met Nancy Hogshead-Makar, a three-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming, during a spectacular and inspirational women's conference in Jacksonville, Florida, last week called Generation W, where I moderated panels on issues affecting women. "This connection with sports and masculinity is a very tough nut to crack. People have been trying to crack it for a long time," said Hogshead-Makar, who has devoted her career to the advancement of girls and women in sports. Why has coverage of women's sports stopped post-Olympics? More than 40 years after the enactment of Title IX, a law that says that any school receiving federal funds cannot discriminate based on sex, there are still huge disparities, she said, with men getting $190 million more per year in college athletic scholarships than women. "It's appalling what these huge differences are. Any fifth-grader can walk into your average high school or college softball baseball facility and say, 'Duh, that's not equal.' " Hogshead-Makar, who is chief executive officer of the advocacy group Champion Women, said even though Title IX requires that women get the same access to media and support that men get, it's not happening. "The coupling of sexism and sport, having this be an exclusionary practice, is still a strong one," said the 1984 Olympic champion. Attitudes about women and sports still have a long way to go before we get to true gender equality, based on a recent poll by Always, the brand that brought us the viral #LikeAGirl video sensation. While a majority of the 1,800 men and women polled said both genders were equal in math and science, they said sports was the one area where they believe there are differences. A significant percentage of both women and men said men are better at sports, with 32% of women feeling that way and 47% of men, the poll found. Hilary Knight, a member of the U.S. Olympic hockey team, called the findings "disappointing" but said women's sports is still young, with Title IX only a few decades old. "It's just a gradual growth process that we kind of have to see through," said Knight, who appears in the most recent #LikeAGirl video, this one released for International Women's Day this month, showcasing women proudly talking about how they shoot, score and do chemistry like a girl. Knight admits the changes in women's sports might not come during her hockey career but says she believes they will eventually come, especially as more women play the game. When she started playing hockey 15 years ago, there were few girls who did. Today, you walk into a local rink and you'll find girls' and boys' teams, she said. "It's a slow process, but as long as you are changing the stereotype, and you are really empowering women and girls to feel proud of who they are and not hindering their progress in any way, I think we are going to see sport get to where it needs to be." Michele Yulo, whose 9-year-old daughter, Gabi, plays basketball and baseball on boys' teams, also thinks it will take time to create the opportunities for women, which will help change the mindset about women and sports. Her main focus, she says, is on making sure girls like her daughter can play the sports they love. In June, her daughter will play in an all-girls baseball tournament in Orlando organized by a program called Baseball for All, which was founded to ensure that girls can play baseball when they are young and continue playing the game when they are older. "What I think is gaining traction is an awareness of female athletes in general and recognition of their strength, skill and determination -- and that yes, this has some effect on the popularity and growth of women's sports programs," said Yulo, creator of the blog Princess Free Zone. "There seems to be a greater push for girls and women to be taken seriously in sports." Girls' and women's sports are growing in popularity as participation increases, said Deborah Slaner Larkin, chief executive officer of the Women's Sports Foundation. Slaner Larkin points to U.S. women's soccer star Alex Morgan, for example, who has over 1.5 million followers on Twitter, and how the upcoming Women's World Cup in Canada is a trending topic worldwide. That said, girls have more than 1.3 million fewer opportunities to play sports than boys do in high school and about 63,000 fewer participation slots at the college level, according to Slaner Larkin. "Once sports are recognized as a birthright for both genders, the rest will fall into place," she said. Helping get us there, she said, is a new generation of moms who played sports as a result of Title IX, which became law in 1972. "These women identify as athletes and women's sports fans, and they will now pass down their experiences to their daughters," she said. Getting women into the stands is key to winning television coverage and the big salaries that come with that exposure, said Michael Graber, a sports cinematographer and father of two girls. "In sports TV, the tail wags the dog. The money goes where the audience is," said Graber, who is the husband of Diana Graber, the co-founder of the digital literacy site CyberWise.org. "Money will go to women's sports as soon as an audience wants to watch women, so the best way to support women athletes is by attending women's sports in the first place." John Furjanic of Chicago said he and a friend took their young daughters to a DePaul University women's basketball game for Valentine's Day for the third year in a row. "In my humble opinion, any father who doesn't take their young daughters to watch women's sports (at all levels -- grammar school through pro) is missing a chance to expose their children to the opportunities that await them," said Furjanic, whose daughter is 7. "Long-term, parents taking kids to women's games and women's teams promoting themselves in schools has to be helpful to establishing widespread popularity, generations at a time." Getting more people into the stands and seeing more girls play more sports will bring about change, many women say. So too will seeing new leaders emerge who believe in gender equality in all areas, including sports. "Sports are a microcosm of life," said Slaner Larkin. "As we begin to see a more diverse group of men and women in leadership and decision-making roles throughout the industry, we should also see significant changes in media, sponsorship and other fundamental areas of support." Hogshead-Makar, the former Olympic champion, told me about a case she recently learned about involving dramatically unequal facilities for the women's softball and men's baseball teams at a public high school in Indiana. "It tells the baseball players you're more important," she said. "That's equally as unhealthy, as for a girl to hear that she's not as important as for him to hear that he's more important." "When the leadership says, 'We're going to make this just as important,' " change will come, she said. What do you think it will take for women's sports to get the same attention as men's sports?

Kathleen Wyatt has won the right to fight for a payout from her ex-husband energy businessman Dale Vince, 20 years after they divorced . She has taken jobs picking fruit, and since the mid-1990s has lived largely on benefits. Her current home is a former council house in Monmouth, south Wales, bought on a mortgage for £60,000 under right-to-buy laws. It was described in court as being damp and badly heated. By contrast, her former husband has founded Ecotricity, now one of the UK's biggest green energy companies, worth at least £57million. The strict vegan lives in a £3million 18th century castle near Stroud, Gloucestershire, with his second wife and their five-year-old son. Mr Vince also owns Forest Green Rovers football club where he has banned red meat for players and supporters. Mr Vince's son Dane moved in with his father in 2001 after the business began to take off. In December 2012 a judge ordered the ex-husband to pay Ms Wyatt £125,000. But he challenged the ruling and Appeal Court judges struck it out. Yesterday, Supreme Court justices ruled in favour of Ms Wyatt and said her claim should be heard by a judge in the Family Division of the High Court. She is demanding almost £2million. Lord Wilson, speaking for all five justices, said that under 1973 divorce legislation the courts should have taken into account the years Ms Wyatt looked after the couple's son. 'He was brought up by Ms Wyatt,' the judge said. 'She struggled to do so. They were 16 years of real hardship for her and her family. At times they lived in caravans. They moved home frequently. They lived from hand to mouth.' Lord Wilson said the burden had fallen on Ms Wyatt and her contribution had been unmatched by Mr Vince. Mr Vince turned from New Age traveller to the founder of a multi-million green energy firm, Ecotricity . Kathleen Wyatt (left) pictured with lawyer Barbara Reeves (right) after justices said the case could be heard . Ms Wyatt is pictured leaving the Supreme Court today (left) after judges ruled her application can be heard by the High Court and in  2003 (right) after the two New Age travellers had divorced . As a result, the case should now be reconsidered by a family court, he said. Lord Wilson added: 'Unwisely, Miss Wyatt has pitched her claim at £1.9million and it is obvious … that an award approaching that size is out of the question. Her claim may even be dismissed. Kathleen Wyatt's legal victory opens the way for divorcees to claim a pay-off from their ex-spouse decades later. Supreme Court judges – Lady Hale, Lord Clarke, Lord Wilson, Lord Hughes and Lord Hodge – said Appeal judges had been wrong to throw Ms Wyatt's original case out on the basis she had no reasonable grounds, in 2013. The justices said under the 1973 Matrimonial Causes Act, a family judge in a divorce case must consider who has cared for the home and any children. Lawyers said the case would encourage copycat claims. James Brown, of firm JMW, said: 'It amounts to nothing short of a call to action … [It] underlines how there is no limit on when someone can make a claim. It doesn't matter whether you divorce in your 20s and return with a claim when you're 80.' There was no recorded financial settlement from Ms Wyatt's divorce. 'But there is … a real prospect that she will secure a comparatively modest award, perhaps of a size which would enable her to purchase a somewhat more comfortable mortgage-free home.' Ms Wyatt's solicitor, Barbara Reeves of law firm Mishcon de Reya, said: 'She looks forward to concluding the litigation as quickly as possible.' Ms Reeves added that Mishcon would try to win a costs order against Mr Vince to cover its fees, which have so far swallowed up all but £2,539 of the £125,000 awarded to Ms Wyatt in the earlier court hearing. After the ruling, Mr Vince said: 'I am disappointed that the Supreme Court has decided not to bring this case to an end now, over 30 years since the relationship ended. 'We both moved on and started families of our own. 'For my part the passing of time is extremely prejudicial, it's been so long that there are no records … it's hard to defend yourself in such circumstances. Indeed, the delay itself has enabled the claim, because there is no paperwork in existence.' He added: 'I feel that we all have a right to move on and not be looking over our shoulders. This could signal open season for people who had brief relationships a quarter of a century ago. It's mad in my opinion.' Ecotricity has earned Mr Vince considerable wealth and he spent almost £1million building his electric supercar, Nemesis, from a second hand second-hand Lotus Exige. It can reach speeds of up to 170mph . Vince lives in an 18th century fort in Stroud in Gloucestershire, which he bought for around £3million . Millionaire is the chairman of Forest Green FC and was pictured watching a match against Stockport in 201 . Mr Vince received an OBE at Buckingham Palace in 2004 for services to the environment.

Australia's 17-man squad to defend the Ashes against England this summer is packed with pace men as well as a fair share of ageing stars. Ten of their squad are in their thirties, paving the way for a raft of Dad’s Army references that will gather momentum if they get off to a bad start in Cardiff. Nonetheless, this is a squad that I would pick to defend the urn. Never mind planning for the future, their tour will be all about the present. Team Australia celebrate after winning the Cricket World Cup before naming their Ashes squad . NICE BALANCE . My first thought when I saw the squad was that it’s the way I’d have gone about selection. A five-Test series in England is not the time to experiment and the Australians have put faith in experience. Australia's selection of Adam Voges will bring an experienced head with them this summer . Adam Voges is an interesting choice: like Chris Rogers, he knows English conditions well. It’s not a tour for blooding a young batsman. It’s also why they’ve gone with Peter Siddle among the seamers. If Ryan Harris breaks down, Siddle can slot straight in. FIREPOWER . IF Mitchell Johnson bowls anything like he did during the last Ashes, Australia should win. Both sides know there’s still some scarring. Mitchell Starc managed to swing the white Kookaburra during the World Cup so he should be able to swing the red Dukes ball in England. He swings it late, too — as Brendon McCullum found out in the final. Fast bowler Mitchell Johnson will be hoping to terrorise English batsmen like he did last time around . I was impressed with Josh Hazlewood, too. He could prosper in England with his hit-the-deck style. Harris always has wicket-taking potential, although I wonder how quickly he’ll slot back in after sitting out the West Indies tour. No 3 THE KEY . The series could hinge on Australia’s No 3. Whoever it is, England will think they have a chance. Shane Watson has done the job in the past without ever really making it his own and there’s been talk of Steve Smith moving up the order. Steve Smith has been in sensational form and could get moved up the batting order to No 3 . He’s in the form of his life but he still moves around a lot at the crease. If the ball’s swinging, that could spell trouble. The other option would be Voges, who has just averaged 104 in the Sheffield Shield. AGE CONCERN . I firmly believe you should try to get every last drop out of some of these cricketers, especially in an Ashes. As England discovered in 2013-14, an ageing side is only a problem if the players are approaching retirement, like Graeme Swann. At 37-years-old, Brad Haddin is likely to be playing his last Ashes along with a few others . But for someone like Rogers this tour will be a last hurrah. I’ll be watching Brad Haddin. He’s a fierce competitor but he’s 37 and keeping in England can be tricky because of the late swing. DODGY AT THE BACK . Part of the reason Michael Clarke has given up one-day internationals is to manage his dodgy back. Mike Atherton will tell you a bad back can go at any moment, although Clarke looked physically sharp during the World Cup. Captain Michael Clarke will be hoping he doesn't suffer a recurrence of his back problems . But if the Australia captain’s back is stiff when they play in England, the bowlers will test out the 33-year-old’s suppleness against the short ball. He’s still vulnerable early on. Michael Clarke (capt) Age 33 . Caps 108 . Verdict Age has not diminished his class, as he proved in the World Cup final. But his dodgy back could be an issue in a five-Test series. Should out-captain Alastair Cook once more. David Warner . Age 28 . Caps 36 . Verdict Could win a Test or two by himself if he bats for a couple of sessions.

<s>[INST] Australia's 17-man squad to defend the Ashes against England this summer is packed with pace men as well as a fair share of ageing stars. Ten of their squad are in their thirties, paving the way for a raft of Dad’s Army references that will gather momentum if they get off to a bad start in Cardiff. Nonetheless, this is a squad that I would pick to defend the urn. Never mind planning for the future, their tour will be all about the present. Team Australia celebrate after winning the Cricket World Cup before naming their Ashes squad . NICE BALANCE . My first thought when I saw the squad was that it’s the way I’d have gone about selection. A five-Test series in England is not the time to experiment and the Australians have put faith in experience. Australia's selection of Adam Voges will bring an experienced head with them this summer . Adam Voges is an interesting choice: like Chris Rogers, he knows English conditions well. It’s not a tour for blooding a young batsman. It’s also why they’ve gone with Peter Siddle among the seamers. If Ryan Harris breaks down, Siddle can slot straight in. FIREPOWER . IF Mitchell Johnson bowls anything like he did during the last Ashes, Australia should win. Both sides know there’s still some scarring. Mitchell Starc managed to swing the white Kookaburra during the World Cup so he should be able to swing the red Dukes ball in England. He swings it late, too — as Brendon McCullum found out in the final. Fast bowler Mitchell Johnson will be hoping to terrorise English batsmen like he did last time around . I was impressed with Josh Hazlewood, too. He could prosper in England with his hit-the-deck style. Harris always has wicket-taking potential, although I wonder how quickly he’ll slot back in after sitting out the West Indies tour. No 3 THE KEY . The series could hinge on Australia’s No 3. Whoever it is, England will think they have a chance. Shane Watson has done the job in the past without ever really making it his own and there’s been talk of Steve Smith moving up the order. Steve Smith has been in sensational form and could get moved up the batting order to No 3 . He’s in the form of his life but he still moves around a lot at the crease. If the ball’s swinging, that could spell trouble. The other option would be Voges, who has just averaged 104 in the Sheffield Shield. AGE CONCERN . I firmly believe you should try to get every last drop out of some of these cricketers, especially in an Ashes. As England discovered in 2013-14, an ageing side is only a problem if the players are approaching retirement, like Graeme Swann. At 37-years-old, Brad Haddin is likely to be playing his last Ashes along with a few others . But for someone like Rogers this tour will be a last hurrah. I’ll be watching Brad Haddin. He’s a fierce competitor but he’s 37 and keeping in England can be tricky because of the late swing. DODGY AT THE BACK . Part of the reason Michael Clarke has given up one-day internationals is to manage his dodgy back. Mike Atherton will tell you a bad back can go at any moment, although Clarke looked physically sharp during the World Cup. Captain Michael Clarke will be hoping he doesn't suffer a recurrence of his back problems . But if the Australia captain’s back is stiff when they play in England, the bowlers will test out the 33-year-old’s suppleness against the short ball. He’s still vulnerable early on. Michael Clarke (capt) Age 33 . Caps 108 . Verdict Age has not diminished his class, as he proved in the World Cup final. But his dodgy back could be an issue in a five-Test series. Should out-captain Alastair Cook once more. David Warner . Age 28 . Caps 36 . Verdict Could win a Test or two by himself if he bats for a couple of sessions. Moeen Ali’s off-breaks will be crucial in pinning him down. Likes to say a word or two. Shane Watson . Age 33 . Caps 56 .

Real Madrid might be feeling the heat from Barcelona in the La Liga title race, but it doesn't seem to be placing too much pressure on Neymar and Co. Barca closed the gap at the top of the table to two points last weekend, and face Rayo Vallecano this weekend hoping that a Real slip-up could send them top. But while the pressure has been heaped on the European champions, Barcelona players Neymar, Adriano, Dani Alves and Douglas looked relaxed on Friday. Neymar posted this picture on Instagram of him and his team-mates at Barcelona's training ground . The Brazilian star scored on Wednesday in Barca's 3-1 win over Villarreal in the Copa del Rey . Neymar - suspended for Sunday's visit of Rayo - posted a picture of the quartet on Instagram after finishing off a training session at Barca's Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper base. That came after Neymar was called up to Brazil's squad for their upcoming friendlies against France and Chile - with manager Dunga being questioned over whether his side was too reliant on their star man. 'Since he has been designated captain of the team, he has had an upgrade on his level of football,' Dunga said of Neymar. Neymar has been training with Barca ahead of facing Rayo Vallecano with the hope of closing a league gap . 'He likes challenges, the more responsibility he has, the more he will develop and get better. 'We are very happy to have him; he is doing fantastic things in Europe. 'Our priority is first to have a strong collective, and then as a second step, one outstanding player can naturally differentiate himself and help us to be better.' Neymar is not the pure focus of Brazil's national team squad, according to his manager Dunga .

A company advertising a competition to win a £2,000 luxury holiday to Ireland have blundered by using a photo of a castle in Scotland. And the mistake has been met with anger by officials at popular tourist hotspot north of the border. The contest to win a trip to the Emerald Isle is being promoted with a picture of Eilean Donan Castle, which is in the western Highlands and seen by many as one of Scotland's most famous castle. WomenFreebies.co.uk used a photo of Scottish Castle Eilean Donan to advertise a competition for Ireland . Unsurprisingly, the use of the Scottish castle advertising a holiday to Ireland didn't go down too well... The Eilean Donan Castle officials had some words of advice for the website WomenFreebies.co.uk . The image was posted to the Facebook page of WomenFreebies.co.uk with the caption 'Like if you'd love to visit Ireland'. The page has almost 800,000 followers and thousands liked the post, but eagle-eyed Scots spotted the gaffe and pointed out the mistake.

The attorney representing the University of Oklahoma's disgraced fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon has said he believes the members - including those who chanted racial slurs - deserve a second chance. Stephen Jones, who represented Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, spoke at a press conference on Friday as he said he is seeking a 'non-legal' resolution with the university. Its president, David Boren, expelled the two students filmed leading the racist chant last weekend - but Jones said that Boren himself recently said that everyone deserves a second chance. 'We certainly think that's true for the members of the SAE house,' Jones continued. 'And perhaps even for the members who were involved in this unfortunate confrontation with the university and the basic values of SAE.' Scroll down for video . Stephen Jones, the attorney for the local chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, said in a press conference on Friday that the students filmed making racist chants were just a small number of people at the event . Jones is representing students and alumni from the fraternity. He is not representing the two students, Parker Rice and Levi Pettit. He said that he hopes to reach a 'non-legal' resolution with the university, which he indicated acted hastily when it closed down the frat house on Monday. He added that he also wants to ensure the students - some of whom have received death threats - are granted their right to due process. 'I'm not ruling out a lawsuit,' he said. 'I'm saying that our preference is proceeding in a non legal solution... If that is not possible, then obviously we will have to consider other possibilities.' Jones also pointed out that hundreds of students and fraternity members had attended the event where the footage was filmed, and that the 'inexcusable' chant was the action of just a handful. 'We're talking about one incident with nine seconds of video on one of five buses,' he said. Ringleader: Parker Rice, a University of Oklahoma freshman from Dallas, has been identified as the conductor leading the 'there will never be a n***** in SEA' chant on Saturday. He has since been expelled . Outed: Levi Pettit was identified by his family on Tuesday night. They apologized for his 'disgusting' behavior. Right, Pettit - an accomplished golfer at his former school Highland Park - is pictured putting in a 2013 photo . Also on Friday, a spokesman for the fraternity's national headquarters revealed that officials with the Oklahoma chapter have stopped communicating with them. 'We have not heard from the Oklahoma chapter,' spokesman Brandon Weghorst said. 'They have not engaged us since the time the chapter was closed.' Weghorst said the national fraternity is moving forward with plans to expel all of the suspended members of the OU chapter, a move that will permanently revoke their membership. The frat house was shut down after a nine-second video recorded last weekend emerged showing members singing a song using racial slurs and referencing lynching. 'There will never be a n***** SAE' they were heard singing aboard a bus. The fraternity was closed immediately and all students and staff were ordered to remove their belongings from the frat house by Monday night. One of the alleged ringleaders, Parker Rice, said earlier this week that he has left the University of Oklahoma and is 'deeply sorry' for what he did. Lawsuit? The university's president, David Boren, pictured on Tuesday, ordered the chapter to close down . High profile: Jones is pictured in 1996 with Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh, whom he represented . 'For me, this is a devastating lesson and I am seeking guidance on how I can learn from this and make sure it never happens again,' he said in a statement. 'My goal for the long-term is to be a man who has the heart and the courage to reject racism wherever I see or experience it in the future.' Brody and Susan Pettit, the parents of Levi Pettit, also apologized to the 'entire African American community' for their son's 'disgusting' actions. But the family added that they had raised him to be 'inclusive,' saying: 'We know his heart, and he is not a racist.' An investigation into the involvement of other members is still underway. Investigations into racism at Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity chapters have now extended to college campuses in Louisiana and Texas, the organization said Thursday. It came after its national office received word that members in those places knew the racist chant caught on video in Oklahoma. Shut down: Workers can be seen removing the letters from the SAE house on Monday after it was shut down . Moving out: Two men can be seen laughing as they remove furniture from the house on Monday . Spokesman Brandon Weghorst said the chapter at the University of Texas at Austin was being 'fully cooperative' and that a probe at Louisiana Tech in Ruston was in its early stages. He said no new allegations had been substantiated. 'We had no idea of this type of behavior was going on underground,' Weghorst said Thursday. 'This is the type of stuff (the chant), it goes underground and it goes under the radar. 'It's dangerous because — if we don't know about it, we can't stop it.' The president of the university's SAE had previously issued a statement denying that his chapter had ever performed a similar chant. Luke Cone said he could 'speak on the behalf of my fraternity brothers that we are all profoundly distressed' about the language in the video. The SAE chapter at Louisiana Tech did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Thursday, but a university spokesman said it has been unable to substantiate an allegation that a former member participated in the chant in 2010. 'Once we learned that, we immediately got with the current chapter president and the leadership of that chapter to ensure this activity wasn't taking place here at Louisiana Tech,' said spokesman Dave Guerin. Anger: Protesters hold up signs outside the Rice family home in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday . 'They assured us that it wasn't. We can't really attest to back in 2010.' Some members of some of the largest SAE chapters in the country on Thursday denied any knowledge of the racist chant. 'In my four years, I never have seen anything or heard anything like that in my individual chapter,' said Will Sneed, past president of the SAE chapter at the University of Arkansas. Meanwhile, the University of Oklahoma football team expressed its outrage Thursday in a statement calling for fraternity leaders to be 'expelled, suspended or otherwise disciplined severely'. 'As a team, we have come to a consensus that, in any organization, the leadership is responsible for the culture created, and in this case, encouraged. ... Allowing this culture to thrive goes against everything it means to be a Sooner,' the players said.

A watchdog has cleared officers over the case of a four-year-old boy starved to death by his alcoholic mother, despite years of police contact with the family. Hamzah Khan's decomposed body was found in a cot at his filthy home in Bradford in 2011, almost two years after he had died. The family, including his mother Amanda Hutton, 43, had extensive contact with police over a number of years, but today the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found that Hamzah's death was not something West Yorkshire Police 'could have reasonably been expected to predict or prevent', the police watchdog has found. A watchdog has cleared West Yorkshire Police over the case of four-year-old Hamzah Khan (pictured), who was starved to death by his alcoholic mother despite years of police contact with the family . Mother-of-eight Hutton was jailed for 15 years in 2013 after she was found guilty of Hamzah's manslaughter and neglecting five of her other children. At her trial it emerged that a range of agencies, including police officers, had contact with her family because she was a victim of repeated domestic violence, but no one spotted the danger the children were in. The IPCC had launched an investigation into West Yorkshire Police’s handling of concerns raised about Hamzah’s welfare, the results of which were announced today. In a statement, the watchdog said: 'The IPCC investigation concluded that Hamzah's death was not something West Yorkshire Police could have reasonably been expected to predict or prevent, and that it was the actions of a PCSO who made repeated and concerted attempts to speak to Ms Hutton that led to the discovery of Hamzah's body.' Mother-of-eight Amanda Hutton (pictured) was jailed for 15 years in 2013 after she was found guilty of Hamzah's manslaughter and neglecting five of her other children . The commission said there had been no misconduct by officers but did criticise the force for not referring itself to the IPCC at the time the body was discovered. It said the fact it was not referred 'hindered the IPCC in its obligation to carry out a prompt and effective independent investigation into West Yorkshire Police's contact with the family'. IPCC commissioner Cindy Butts said: 'There was a clear public interest in enabling the Independent Police Complaints Commission to scrutinise the actions of West Yorkshire Police officers after the discovery of Hamzah's body in 2011. 'The fact that this was not reported to the IPCC until after a serious case review had been completed in 2013 meant that that process was completed without any independent scrutiny of police action.' Hutton's trial heard how Hamzah's father, Aftab Khan, raised concerns with officers after he was arrested for attacking Hutton but detectives told the court these were investigated and no problems were found. Today, the IPCC said two officers chose not to make a referral to social services after specific allegations of neglect were made during this interview in December 2008. But it said in its statement: 'The IPCC found that a number of referrals had already been made, one of which was made only five days before the interview with Mr Khan. A further referral to social services could have been made but there was no requirement for the officers to do so.' A serious case review in Hamzah's case concluded that he was 'invisible for almost a lifetime'. But that review was criticised at its publication by children's minister Edward Timpson, who expressed 'deep concerns', saying it failed to fully explain 'missed opportunities to protect children in the house'. The minister wrote to Professor Nick Frost, who chairs the Bradford Safeguarding Children Board, saying: 'I have deep concerns over the Hamzah Khan serious case review. The child's body was found in what police said were 'breathtakingly awful' conditions in a bedroom at Hutton's house in Bradford, while the kitchen was also filled with rubbish . The living room of Hutton's home was covered in old takeaway boxes, bottles and plastic bags . 'In particular, I am concerned that it fails to explain sufficiently clearly the actions taken or not taken by children's social care when problems in the Khan family were brought to their attention on a number of occasions.' Alcoholic Hutton was living in what the report described as 'breathtakingly awful' conditions with five of her children as well as Hamzah's mummified remains when police entered her four-bedroom house in September 2011. A jury at Bradford Crown Court found she had allowed Hamzah to starve to death in December 2009 and left his body in a cot with a teddy. The remains were only discovered due to a rookie police community support officer's tenacious pursuit of a minor anti-social behaviour complaint because she knew something was wrong. The family was known to all the main agencies, partly due to a long history of violence Hutton suffered at the hands of Khan. But Hutton failed to co-operate with many children's services and the SCR found that Hamzah slipped below the radar and was invisible. Ms Butts said today: 'Nothing could have reasonably been done by West Yorkshire Police to predict or prevent this horrendous case of child neglect. In fact, it was the tenacity of one of its officers that led to the eventual discovery of his body.'

<s>[INST] A watchdog has cleared officers over the case of a four-year-old boy starved to death by his alcoholic mother, despite years of police contact with the family. Hamzah Khan's decomposed body was found in a cot at his filthy home in Bradford in 2011, almost two years after he had died. The family, including his mother Amanda Hutton, 43, had extensive contact with police over a number of years, but today the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found that Hamzah's death was not something West Yorkshire Police 'could have reasonably been expected to predict or prevent', the police watchdog has found.

Thought the black and blue dress was an optical illusion? It's nothing compared to these mind-boggling pictures by a Swedish photographer, artist, and Photoshop genius. Erik Johansson, 30, who is based in Berlin, Germany, says he doesn’t capture moments, but instead captures ideas. He takes mundane scenarios, including houses, cars and streets and transforms them into optical illusions, which he describes as, 'surreal ideas realised in a realistic way with a touch of humour'. Scroll down for video . Swedish photographer, artist, and Photoshop genius, Erik Johansson, has created mind-boggling photos like this inside-out house that look different on each glance. In this image called The Architect the subject seems to be both inside and outside the house . Erik, born in Gotene, Sweden, who aims to challenge and perplex the viewer, uses his artistry to confuse people who look at his work. From cars seemingly driving upside-down on bridges to spaces that, at a glance, appear to be a bedroom and then suddenly look like a field, his work is challenging, clever and full of subtle detail. Erik explains that he wants his work to evoke a problem-solving approach. Although one photo can consist of hundreds of different images merged into one, he always wants it to look like it could have snapped by a camera. He said: 'It’s the challenge: can I put this very weird idea in a photograph and make it look like it was just captured?' In a series of behind-the-scenes videos he gives an insight into his painstaking method. To make Landfall, a work of visual trickery that looks as though green fields - rather than water - are pouring over a cliff edge, he layered 235 separate images. He photographed the fields to provide the backdrop, then built a scale model of a house and landscape out of cardboard, which he covered in gloopy green paint and shot. He takes mundane scenarios and gives them a more interesting edge by flipping them on their head, like in Landfall . In Brain Games, a man is seen pulling aside the night sky as he would a curtain to reveal the dawn and green landscape before him . Using Photoshop, he turned the running paint into rolling fields and superimposed a photograph of a house on to the cardboard model, adding a photo of a water wheel to complete the fantastical and dramatic shot of a dreamy, bucolic landscape that seems to be falling over a cliff. On his website he writes: 'I get inspiration from all things around me. Anything from things I see in my daily life to other artist’s work and photography. I think it’s a lot about looking at the world from a different perspective. 'I think I get more inspiration from paintings rather than photos. But there are tons of inspiration online. Here are some websites and blogs I visit for inspiration.' He cites Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali and MC Escher as artistic influences. Each image can anything from a few weeks to years to create. Erik says each idea starts with a sketch and if he thinks it's good enough he will start planning how to do it. This image, entitled Don't Look Back, shows a woman walking down a winding road that's crumbling behind her every step . Is it a bedroom or a field? In Closing Out, interiors and exterior meld as one in this seemingly simple tableau . In the optical illusion Cover Up, a man is hiding his real view with a better, more idealised image on wallpaper which he hangs on a line . He said: 'Once I’ve come up with an idea that I think is good enough to realise I need to find the places I need to shoot to put the photo together. This can take anywhere between a few days to several months, sometimes years. 'This is the most important step as it defines the look and feel of the photo, it’s my raw material. This step also includes problem solving, how to make the reflections, materials etc realistic.' He then sets about collecting or creating all the aspects he needs to bring his vision to life. 'The final part is putting the photos together. This takes anything from a few days to several weeks. This is actually the easiest step, if I did a good job in the first and second step. 'This part is like a puzzle, I have all the pieces, I just need to put them together.' he said. Reverse Opposite is mind-bendig as, with an MC Escher drawing, the car seems both on and under the bridge at the same time . In Erik's description of this picture, called Cutting light, he describes it as 'the strongest light bulb there is. Cutting through wood, concrete and stone in just moments' This image is called Dreamwalking and captures the state between dream world and reality . Although one photo can consist of lots of different images merged into one, he always wants it to look like it could have been captured as a whole picture. In Helping Fall, a woman is seen hoovering leaves off the tree to help the process along .

Swedish photographer, Erik Johansson, spends months photographing images to build up to the finished picture . Each image is made up of hundreds of separate shots and painstakingly detailed work by the expert retoucher .

Two elephants saved the day Tuesday after an 18-wheeler in which they were being hauled from New Orleans to Texas nearly tipped over were it not for their help. They were two of three Asian elephants in the truck being transported from Florida to a circus in Dallas when the driver pulled over on I-49 in Natchitoches Parish around 7am. When mud caused the long-haul truck to begin to tip onto its side, a trainer had the bright idea of enlisting the pachyderms for help. Strange sight: Two circus elephants helped keep the trailer that'd been traveling in from tipping over along a Louisiana highway Tuesday morning . Video reveals him coaxing one of the beasts out of the truck as the other is already standing with its head anchoring the truck's trailer. When members of the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's department arrived, 'they were astounded to find two elephants keeping the eighteen wheeler from overturning,' reads the department's official statement. A local wrecker was soon enlisted to pull out the 2000 Kenworth eighteen wheeler and no citations were issued, according to WDSU. The elephants, presumably, went on their way. Whoops: The truck was en route to a circus in Texas when the driver pulled over and a muddy shoulder caused the 18 wheeler to tip . Video reveals a trainer coaxing one of the beasts out of the truck as the other is already standing with its head anchoring the truck's trailer. But where they were headed doesn't sit well for many. In fact, the nation's largest circus, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, is ending its iconic elephant acts due to growing public concern about how the endangered creatures are treated. The circus’ parent company, Feld Entertainment, told The Associated Press exclusively that the acts will be phased out by 2018. The circus plans to phase out elephant acts by 2018.

Joe Hart considers Sergio Aguero to be a better finisher than Lionel Messi. The England goalkeeper has backed his Manchester City team-mate ahead of the Barcelona star when it comes to their natural ability to score. Messi is always put forward as one of the greatest to ever play the game when the debate is raised, but Hart believes Aguero has the advantage when it comes to tucking them away. England goalkeeper Joe Hart views Sergio Aguero (left) as a better finisher than Barcelona's Lionel Messi . Hart works with Aguero on a day-to-day basis at Manchester City and is impressed with what he's seen . ‘From working with him on a daily basis and from what I've seen this season, Aguero just knows how to score,’ Hart explained. ‘In training he particularly excites you most days but he's also got that ability on the day to do it. We've got a good team, but a long clearance could turn into a goal because he's got that ability to take it round five people and score. ‘It's a great thing to have. Sergio is a very natural player and in a situation one-on-one there is nothing complicated about it. He takes that option to score. Messi is absolutely awesome, he is a phenomenal player, but I'm backing Sergio.’ Messi is denied by Hart at the Nou Camp during City's Champions League exit to Barcelona last week . Messi could not find a way past Hart over the two legs and missed a penalty at the Etihad Stadium . Hart has faced Messi four times in the past two season, not conceding to the Argentine at all this campaign but twice last year, a penalty and a delicate strike. ‘He scored past me with the outside of his foot,’ Hart said. ‘He managed to dink it back past my shoulder and didn't have the momentum to do that, he shouldn't have been able to do that, but it appeared like a very simple finish for him. He's definitely one of the best players I've ever played against.’ Hart got one over Messi by saving his penalty in their Champions League last-16, second-leg tie last week, but he takes no credit for the stop. ‘The only reason he missed is because he probably didn't take it as well as he wanted to,’ Hart added. ‘I don't think it was down to me. ‘I'm sure in years to come when potentially he's being honoured as the greatest player ever to play football then it will be a nice one to have.’ Aguero is third-top goalscorer in the Premier League this season behind Diego Costa and Harry Kane .

My teenage kids (Molly, 15, Dylan, 17) demand something a bit more exciting than sand and sea from family summer holidays nowadays. So, given their obsession with all things Kardashian, we decided on California this year - a classic American road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway (aka Route 1) from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We took our time (three weeks) to do it, but fitted so much in that I can't hang about now. San Francisco is known as America's most European city, you'll need to pack a fleece even in late July . So here we go... San Francisco is known as America's most European city, possibly because you'll need to pack a fleece even in late July. The mist that rolls in off the sea and shrouds the Golden Gate Bridge most days can sometimes linger, but we never stayed still long enough to get cold. Based in the funky Hotel Zetta - where the foyer combines games room and bar, and is plastered with colossal photos of John Lennon and past guests of Alcatraz - we spent three days hurtling around the city, often clinging for dear life to the famous cable cars that haul you up and down the City's equally famous hills. We ate clam chowder from a bread bowl at Fisherman's Wharf, we trawled the boutiques of Haight Ashbury in search of the summer of love, we bussed out to the Golden Gate, and we wondered at the aquarium in Golden Gate Park. Jane travelled to America with her teenage children, Molly, 15 and Dylan who's 17 . And, fleeces on, we took the boat trip to Alcatraz, which is not to be missed. The brilliant audio guide that leads you around the prison is narrated only by men who were once guards or prisoners on the rock. It's an eerie and compelling tour. After trying to distil the city into only 72 hours, we climbed into our SUV and headed for Route 1. It's only about 350 miles as the crow flies between San Francisco and LA, but this (mostly) coastal route is probably well over 500 miles long as it winds through some of California's most wonderful, ever-changing scenery. Much of the highway has a 55mph speed limit and has only one lane in each direction - it's time to take your foot off the gas, relax and take it all in. The kids said it reminded them of Dorset as we headed south past Santa Cruz and then nipped briefly into Monterey to dine in a seafront restaurant on the edge of Cannery Row, the waterfront district made famous in John Steinbeck's novel of the same name. At Dylan's insistence, we took a detour on to 17 Mile Drive, the scenic road around the Monterey Peninsula that leads to the world-famous Pebble Beach golf club. He was rather disappointed by the condition of the course there, but thrilled with the state of Quail Lodge and Golf Club, our first port of call just outside the pretty little town of Carmel. Even the non-golfers among us loved our luxurious bungalow at the edge of the course; secluded and tranquil, plush and green with a view of distant misty mountains. When the sound of silence got too much for us, just across the street at Valley Hills there was the excellent and lively Baja Cantina Mexican restaurant, and a wonderful deli too. Leaving Carmel, you find yourself at the edge of the spectacular area known as Big Sur: wild and often mountainous terrain battling it out with the equally wild Pacific. The road coils up and down cliffs and crosses cavernous gorges for almost 100 miles - incredibly dramatic but sometimes not for the faint-hearted. We stopped off at the Garrapata National Park, in a baking-hot and silent valley, where the crash of the waves was replaced by the hum of insects and the call of the buzzards wheeling overhead. Much of the highway has a 55mph speed limit and has only one lane in each direction - it's time to take your foot off the gas, relax and take it all in . This was a completely different wildness, underlined when Dylan narrowly avoided stepping on a basking rattlesnake. At the end of Big Sur you can encounter yet another type of wildness altogether in the form of the legendary Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. Every bedroom is themed here - from Rock Bottom (it's a cave) to Old Mexico and the comparatively muted silver walls and flock wallpaper of our own Crystal Room. To call the Madonna Inn 'kitsch' is to do it a huge disservice, because it takes everything to a whole new level of eyepopping taste. Take the Gold Rush Steakhouse, which puts the shocking into pink. The whole place is furnished and upholstered in a pink that is practically pornographic, softened only by the presence of enormous gold chandeliers. You have to see it to believe it. But the food and service were fantastic. The family nipped briefly into Monterey to dine in a seafront restaurant on the edge of Cannery Row, the waterfront district made famous in John Steinbeck's novel of the same name . We took a rare detour off Route 1 to the Danish settlement of Solvang, a sort of cutesy yet sinister re-creation of Denmark in the California sun, full of pastry shops and Chinese tourists. A little unnerved by this, we headed back to the safety of the highway and soon found ourselves in Santa Barbara. It's the classic California of posters and T-shirts, with infinitely long palm-lined streets with mountains at one end and the ocean at the other. We stayed at the beachside end of one such thoroughfare in the aptly named Harbor View Inn. We found great seafood at the end of the pier at Stearns Wharf opposite the hotel and at the fantastic Fishhouse just a couple of blocks along Cabrillo Boulevard. Over the rail tracks behind the inn is State Street, where you can find everything from Macy's and American Apparel to tattooists and cavernous bars advertising Punk Rock Bingo. The Horrocks' took a detour on to 17 Mile Drive, the scenic road around the Monterey Peninsula that leads to the world-famous Pebble Beach golf club . The farmers' market closes the street on a Tuesday afternoon, offering up a Californian cornucopia of fruit, veg and other tasty treats. To the east of State Street is The Funk Zone, an old industrial area that is regenerating itself into a haven of restaurants, art galleries and wine-tasting rooms. Back on the road near San Simeon, you will see exotic animals on either side of the highway. Floundering on the beach are gigantic elephant seals - enormous specimens of blubbery ugliness hooting and honking and generally having a riot at the edge of the sea. On the other side are zebras - direct descendants of the herd that press tycoon William Randolph Hearst installed at the magnificent Hearst Castle, which appears right ahead of you. You can take a tour of the castle and its grounds. After a 15-minute coach drive up the snaking road to the top of the hill, you discover a spectacular mansion furnished with antiques and tapestries from all over Europe, andboasting Roman baths, an enormous neo-Classical marble swimming pool and its own private cinema. In the 1930s, Hearst Castle was party central for Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Greta Garbo et al. There are gold courses galore just outside the pretty little town of Carmel . Having soaked up a bit of the Golden Age of Hollywood, we headed off on Route 1 again to see the City of Angels of today. There we stayed at the slick and sleek Viceroy Santa Monica Hotel, choosing the beach-life of Santa Monica and Venice over the urban sprawl of Hollywood or Beverly Hills where the car is king. The body-builders and gymnasts of Muscle Beach and the roller-blading buskers of Venice are highly entertaining, and you can actually walk everywhere. Hollywood is really an idea rather than a place anyway. It always seems as if it might be just around the next corner but it never is, and the Hollywood sign always stays aloof in the distance. We went on an excellent guided tour taking in the Chinese Theatre, Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Strip and other spots of note. A Sunday trip to Universal Studios was great fun, too, for the rides and a look at a real working film set on its day off. Mind you, the scariest ride of the day was getting on the freeway by accident on the way into LA. Stop off for an guided tour taking in the Chinese Theatre, Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Strip and other spots of note in LA . Unless you're a professional stunt driver in a hurry, the freeway is probably best avoided in favour of a trundle along the city's more sedate boulevards. We drove the last 40 miles south through the LA suburbs to our final stop at the Huntington Beach Hyatt Regency. And what a beach it is - three-and-a-half miles of uncrowded white sand known as Surf City. It was thrilling to watch the guys surfing along on the waves. Later we watched the sun go down over the pier from the comfort of the superb Duke's Restaurant, before ambling back along a beach glowing with fire-pits and shrouded in barbecue smoke - preparing ourselves for the horrors of donning fleeces again for the journey home.

<s>[INST] My teenage kids (Molly, 15, Dylan, 17) demand something a bit more exciting than sand and sea from family summer holidays nowadays. So, given their obsession with all things Kardashian, we decided on California this year - a classic American road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway (aka Route 1) from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We took our time (three weeks) to do it, but fitted so much in that I can't hang about now. San Francisco is known as America's most European city, you'll need to pack a fleece even in late July . So here we go... San Francisco is known as America's most European city, possibly because you'll need to pack a fleece even in late July. The mist that rolls in off the sea and shrouds the Golden Gate Bridge most days can sometimes linger, but we never stayed still long enough to get cold. Based in the funky Hotel Zetta - where the foyer combines games room and bar, and is plastered with colossal photos of John Lennon and past guests of Alcatraz - we spent three days hurtling around the city, often clinging for dear life to the famous cable cars that haul you up and down the City's equally famous hills. We ate clam chowder from a bread bowl at Fisherman's Wharf, we trawled the boutiques of Haight Ashbury in search of the summer of love, we bussed out to the Golden Gate, and we wondered at the aquarium in Golden Gate Park. Jane travelled to America with her teenage children, Molly, 15 and Dylan who's 17 . And, fleeces on, we took the boat trip to Alcatraz, which is not to be missed. The brilliant audio guide that leads you around the prison is narrated only by men who were once guards or prisoners on the rock. It's an eerie and compelling tour. After trying to distil the city into only 72 hours, we climbed into our SUV and headed for Route 1. It's only about 350 miles as the crow flies between San Francisco and LA, but this (mostly) coastal route is probably well over 500 miles long as it winds through some of California's most wonderful, ever-changing scenery. Much of the highway has a 55mph speed limit and has only one lane in each direction - it's time to take your foot off the gas, relax and take it all in. The kids said it reminded them of Dorset as we headed south past Santa Cruz and then nipped briefly into Monterey to dine in a seafront restaurant on the edge of Cannery Row, the waterfront district made famous in John Steinbeck's novel of the same name. At Dylan's insistence, we took a detour on to 17 Mile Drive, the scenic road around the Monterey Peninsula that leads to the world-famous Pebble Beach golf club. He was rather disappointed by the condition of the course there, but thrilled with the state of Quail Lodge and Golf Club, our first port of call just outside the pretty little town of Carmel. Even the non-golfers among us loved our luxurious bungalow at the edge of the course; secluded and tranquil, plush and green with a view of distant misty mountains. When the sound of silence got too much for us, just across the street at Valley Hills there was the excellent and lively Baja Cantina Mexican restaurant, and a wonderful deli too. Leaving Carmel, you find yourself at the edge of the spectacular area known as Big Sur: wild and often mountainous terrain battling it out with the equally wild Pacific.

A convicted killer and a rapist are among ten of Britain's most wanted fugitives who are believed to be on the run in Spain. The list was published today as part of Operation Captura, a scheme to trace wanted criminals and suspects who are thought to have fled to Spain. The ten men are wanted in connection with crimes including rape, indecent assault of a child and drug trafficking, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said. Killer and rapist: (L-R) Shane Walford killed father-of-two Paul Gibbons with a single punch outside a bar in Coventry while Mohammed Jahangir Alam was sentenced to 14 years in jail in his absence for rape . One of the fugitives is ex-soldier Shane Walford who was jailed in 2010 for the manslaughter of an off-duty fireman while on leave from the Army. Walford, a former boxer, killed father-of-two Paul Gibbons with a single punch outside a bar in Coventry. He was jailed for four and a half years but was recalled to prison in August 2013 after breaking the terms of his licence. Another of the fugitives is Mohammed Jahangir Alam, 32, who was sentenced to 14 years in his absence in March 2010 for rape and sexual assault by penetration. Alam, who is originally from Bangladesh, arrived in the UK on a temporary visa in October 2007 and moved to Cheltenham the following year, when he physically and sexually abused his victim, the NCA said. On the run: (L-R) Carlo Dawson is south London, who is accused of indecently assaulting a 12-year-old girl and making indecent photos of a child. Jayson McDonald is a suspected drug trafficker . Also on list: (L-R) David McDermott, believed to be a member of a drug-dealing organised crime gang in Liverpool,  and youthful-looking Michael Roden, nicknamed 'Dodge and suspected of importing cannabis . Also on the wanted list is 52-year-old Carlo Dawson, from Croydon, south London, who is accused of indecently assaulting a 12-year-old girl and making indecent photographs of a child. An operation was launched last week to arrest one of the fugitives, suspected drugs trafficker Jayson McDonald, who is believed to have been living in Spain. More than a dozen armed officers along with detectives from the Metropolitan Police carried out a dawn raid on a luxury villa in Coin near Malaga but McDonald was not found. It is the ninth appeal of its kind since Captura was launched by the NCA and Crimestoppers in 2006, and so far 65 out of 76 named suspects have been caught. One of the latest to be found in Tenerife was drugs lord Stephen Blundell, 36, from Merseyside, who fled the UK before being sentenced for a £1 million heroin plot, the NCA said. Hank Cole, the NCA's head of international operations, said: 'Spain is not a safe haven for British fugitives. The NCA and its partners will continue to pursue these individuals relentlessly and return them to the UK to face justice. Wanted: (L-R) Paul Buchanan, wanted for attempted rape, and suspected drug tafficker Anthony Dennis are also National Crime Agency targets . Hiding: (L-R) Suspected drug dealers Paul Monk and Scott Hughes are also on the wanted list . 'The exceptional level of collaboration and intelligence sharing with the Spanish authorities has been vital to these arrests. However, we still need the support of the public. 'Be our eyes and ears and tell us if you have any information on the whereabouts of our targets.' Lord Ashcroft, founder of Crimestoppers, said: 'Operation Captura has proved a huge success since it was launched in 2006 and the majority of individuals on our most wanted list have been captured. 'However, there are still a number of criminals who are evading arrest. We must ensure these individuals are brought to justice. We are confident that we can successfully hunt them down with support from the Spanish authorities, as well as the Spanish and UK public.' Spanish authorities are heavily backing the operation and a leading policewoman has claimed the country is no longer a 'safe place' for British criminals to hide. As part of Operation Captura, the National Crime Agency today published a list of ten of Britain's most wanted fugitives thought to have fled to Spain. They are: . 1. Shane Walford: 38, is wanted by West Midlands Police for manslaughter. The former soldier and boxer was jailed for 54 months in July 2010 after he killed firefighter Paul Gibbons at a bar in Coventry. He was recalled to prison in August 2013 after breaking the terms of his licence. 2. Mohammed Jahangir Alam: 32, is wanted by Gloucestershire Police for rape and sexual assault. He was convicted in March 2010 and sentenced to 14 years in his absence. 3. Carlo Dawson: 52, is wanted by the Met Police on suspicion of indecent assault and making indecent photographs of a child. Dawson, from south London, is believed to have indecently assaulted a 12-year-old girl between October 1996 and October 1997. 4. Paul Buchanan: 29, is wanted by West Mercia Police on suspicion of attempted rape. Buchanan, originally from New York, is alleged to have attacked a woman near his flat in Worcestershire by pulling her down a driveway, pushing her over a car and attempting to rape her. 5. Paul Monk: 54, of Romford, Essex, is wanted by the Met Police on suspicion of conspiracy to supply cocaine and conspiracy to supply cannabis. 6. Anthony Dennis: 47, is wanted on suspicion of conspiracy to commit drug trafficking offences outside the UK and conspiracy to import class A drugs. Dennis, originally of Hackney, is believed to be the leader of an organised crime group involved in high-level international drug trafficking. 7. David McDermott: 41, is wanted on suspicion of conspiracy to supply cocaine and conspiracy to blackmail. McDermott, from Ormskirk, is believed to be a member of a Liverpool-based organised crime group. 8. Scott Hughes: 34, is wanted by Merseyside Police on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and conspiracy to launder money. 9. Michael Roden: 25, is wanted by West Midlands police on suspicion of conspiracy to import cannabis. Nicknamed 'Dodge', he was allegedly involved in 70 kilos of cannabis being imported into the UK from Spain between April 2013 and September 2013. 10. Jayson McDonald: 37, is wanted by the Met Police on suspicion of conspiracies to import and supply heroin and cocaine. McDonald, originally from Bristol, is believed to be part of a Europe-wide organised crime network responsible for importing Class A drugs into the UK. Speaking at Malaga's police headquarters, Inspector Olga Lizana, head of the Spanish National Police Fugitives Unit, said British criminals living in Spain should 'leave the country' because they will be found. She added: 'This is not a good place (for them) to come any more. This is not a safe place for criminals any more. 'I think we are doing a great job with the British authorities. They have to be aware we are working together.' Warning: Hank Cole, NCA's head of international operations, says Spain is no longer a safe haven for British criminals . Spain's Costa del Sol - once dubbed 'Costa del Crime' - has been known as a hideaway for British criminals in the past, particularly in the late 1970s and 80s when there were no extradition agreements with the UK. Infamous British criminals to have fled to the region included Great Train robber Charlie Wilson, who was shot dead in Marbella in 1990, and Freddie Foreman, an associate of the Kray twins. Inspector Lizana said, like most British expatriates, criminals were attracted to Spain by the 'good weather and good food.' She added: 'There is a huge British community living here. For them, it is easy to hide. For us sometimes it is really difficult to find them. 'Also, it's a cheap country compared to the UK.' The launch of Operation Captura in 2006 has seen an increasing number of British fugitives being captured in Spain. The high-profile initiative between the NCA, Crimestoppers and the Spanish authorities has seen 65 out of 76 wanted British suspects detained. Last year alone, 54 fugitives were arrested in Spain and brought back to the UK, the NCA said. Commenting on the police's failure to apprehend suspected British drug trafficker Jayson McDonald, the inspector said she was 'disappointed' but added: 'He is not going to be back in the UK so we'll arrest him here.' Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the fugitives is asked to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or go online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. Caught: Drug trafficker Christopher Mealey . For years, Spain has been an appealing hideaway for British criminals evading capture, with dozens disappearing in what's been dubbed the Costa del Crime. But the launch of Operation Captura in 2006 has seen an increasing number of UK fugitives captured in the country. The high-profile initiative between the NCA, Crimestoppers and the Spanish authorities has seen 65 out of 76 wanted British suspects detained so far. Last year alone, 54 fugitives were arrested in Spain and brought back to the UK. This year's top ten list is the ninth appeal of its kind since Captura was launched. One of the operation's most high-profile arrests came last June when a British drug trafficker behind a £25 million a year cocaine ring was caught in Marbella. Christopher Mealey, 38, was arrested by armed officers from the Spanish National Police as he walked along the Paseo Maritimo, a Spanish beachfront tourist hotspot.

List published today as part of scheme to trace criminals on run in Spain . Among ten is Shane Walford who killed fireman with a punch in Coventry . Also included is Mohammed Alam, 32, convicted of rape in his absence . Another, Carlow Dawson, of Croydon, accused of assaulting girl aged 12 . Since 2006 launch Operation Captura has led to arrest of 65 Brits on run .

Commenting on the police's failure to apprehend suspected British drug trafficker Jayson McDonald, the inspector said she was 'disappointed' but added: 'He is not going to be back in the UK so we'll arrest him here.' Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the fugitives is asked to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or go online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. Caught: Drug trafficker Christopher Mealey . For years, Spain has been an appealing hideaway for British criminals evading capture, with dozens disappearing in what's been dubbed the Costa del Crime. But the launch of Operation Captura in 2006 has seen an increasing number of UK fugitives captured in the country. The high-profile initiative between the NCA, Crimestoppers and the Spanish authorities has seen 65 out of 76 wanted British suspects detained so far. Last year alone, 54 fugitives were arrested in Spain and brought back to the UK. This year's top ten list is the ninth appeal of its kind since Captura was launched. One of the operation's most high-profile arrests came last June when a British drug trafficker behind a £25 million a year cocaine ring was caught in Marbella. Christopher Mealey, 38, was arrested by armed officers from the Spanish National Police as he walked along the Paseo Maritimo, a Spanish beachfront tourist hotspot.

Everyone has experienced the frustrated feeling of jabbing at an orange trying to get the peel off, only to be left with a sticky mess. Now a new method has revealed the quickest and easiest way to to do it - and it only involves three slices of a knife. Thanks to a new 'life hack' video from YouTube user Rumble Viral, an orange is opened up in a matter of seconds, and with minimal juice-loss and squashed segments. Method: Cut two opposite ends off the orange (left) and make an incision on one side (right) Easy peasy: Then cut into one side until reaching the centre (left) and pull the entire thing apart (right) The 39-second video shows exactly the best way to best open up the citrus fruit in simple steps. Firstly, you cut off the top and the bottom of the orange. Next, you make a cut into the one side of the orange, until the knife reaches the fruit's centre. Then, it's just a case of spreading the skin open to reveal all the intact and neat segments. Peel and enjoy! The viral video has already racked up 420,000 views in a short time, and many commentators are raving about the simple yet innovative method. 'This is definitely gong to save me some time. It normally take me forever just to peel one,' says one commentator of the video. Another has commented: 'Good tip. Next time I don't have excuses to juice the oranges instead of eating them whole.' Oranges are a versatile fruit and can be eaten fresh, processed in a juice, or the fragrant peel can be added to dishes for flavouring. The citrus fruit is great as a quick snack, an excellent source of vitamin C and also has high antioxidant properties, so it's no wonder that quicker methods of access are being attempted. The only argument that people have against the three-slice method is that while it works swiftly in a kitchen environment, you're at a loss if you're lacking a knife and chopping board. One commentator questioned: 'What if you don't always carry a knife on you?' The method only takes 30 seconds and ensure minimal juice-loss or segment bruising .

Katie's approach to weight loss is five parts stick, zero parts carrot . Overweight children are the latest target for serial ranter Katie Hopkins. The controversial columnist has said that fat children should be forced to attend special sports schools until they shed excess weight. Writing in her column for Now! magazine, the 39-year-old said: 'The most upsetting thing of all is a fat child. 'Watching fat parents drop their fat kids off at school in their cars makes me so angry my teeth itch and my nipples twizzle.' The mother-of-three adds in her video blog for the magazine that she blames the parents for children with weight problems: 'I've always said that a fat child lives in the shadow of a fat parent. 'The fat kids go through the school gates and there's the fat mum in the car, who doesn't bother to get out, still wearing her pyjamas...and that really does my head in.' Citing government statistics that say one-in-10 four-year-olds are now overweight, the Celebrity Big Brother star even goes as far to say that, if she had her way, fat children would be 'sent to special sports schools until they make the grade.' Hopkins also opines that she thinks people in England are far too soft on 'fat shaming'. 'There's loads of fat kids and we don't say anything because that would be fat-shaming, or bullying...well, I disagree completely. 'In England, we're far too soft on it and we seem to think it's okay that people are pureeing KFC to spoon-feed to their babies.' Earlier this year, the opinionated former Apprentice star filmed herself gaining and losing four stone in an effort to prove that obesity is purely the fault of the person carrying the weight. Katie has form with insulting overweight people. On her television show Making My Fat, she was kicked out of an 800lb woman's house after rows. Now, she's turned her venom to children, saying obese kids should go to 'special sports schools' until they make the grade' Katie before her own weight gain (left) and after (right) In the programme, Katie was frequently seen bursting into floods of tears over her new body shape, but also over the amount of food that she has to eat every day to put on the weight. She loaded up on junk food every couple of hours, setting herself a target of 5,000 calories every day. Katie's doctor advised her not to go through with the programme, warning the star that she faced a number of health problems including liver strain, damaged knees, altered blood chemistry, and stretched skin among other issues. But she persisted with the experiment, going so far as to travel to North Carolina in the US to take part in an eating competition. Katie reveals she had to sleep next to a sick bucket because overeating made her feel so nauseous . At the fast food restaurant, customers are given 20 minutes to consume a monster burger, containing a kilo of meat and 8,000 calories. Katie gave the meal her best shot, but only succeeded in consuming around half. She said: 'There are two kids in there who are around 15 or 16 years old and they must weigh between 200 pounds (14.2 stone) and 300 pounds (21 stone) each. 'I can't understand why no one is telling them to stop. 'I feel really sorry for those children. Their parents were just there watching them eat. 'I just want to go and ask them to stop. 'I couldn't do that to my children. I could never feed my children to death.' Katie also visited an American called Nicky, a woman who weighs 803lb (57 stone). Nicky is often confined to her house because of the weight that she carries around. While the women initially got on like a house on fire, Katie quickly insulted Nicky and the women became embroiled in an argument, which saw her asked to leave the house. The TV star was unrepentant, telling the cameras: 'There is no way she is really happy. 'She has managed to become happy with what she has got by accepting it's rubbish. 'I would rather be put down than be Nicky.' Making My Fat followed Katie Hopkins as she gained 4st on a mammoth diet of 6,500 calories a day, then lost the weight through a healthy eating plan and exercise . The end of the programme saw Katie engage in extreme eating to try and put on the weight, gorging on 400 calories every couple of hours. Katie Hopkins strikes fear into the hearts of many people in the UK - she recently came second in a poll of the world's most hated people. The television star's documentary made her so disliked among larger ladies and men that they actively try to avoid her. She told FEMAIL: 'Fat people can be quite afraid of me, there is this sort of Hopkins fear. 'A lot of them will actually cross the road to avoid me if they see me walking down the street. Katie said she wanted her TLC documentary to start a debate about the nation's obesity crisis . 'Others will present me with their excuses before I have even opened my mouth, which is weird because it's not like I go around judging me all of the time. 'Fat mums completely avoid me, but that’s fine.' Katie has had a bee in her bonnet about overweight men and women for a couple of years. Last year she made headlines around the world after she revealed that she wouldn't hire a fat person because they are 'lazy'. So in the last six months, the 39-year-old decided to put on 30 per cent of her body weight in just three months and then lose it just as quickly, to prove that larger people only have themselves to blame for piling on the pounds. The star has very little time for larger people, admitting than she can hardly bear to touch anyone carrying a little extra fat, but she has even less for their excuses. Instead of laying the blame for Britain's obesity problem at the door of the takeaway shops and junk food companies, Katie says it is the fault of the individual and they need to be aware that it is not okay to look as they do. Katie said: 'At my heaviest during this television experiment, I weighed 12 stone. 'Nowadays, I hear a lot of women say 12st isn’t that big - they say that because you can be 12 stone and a size 14. 'But it's strange idea that we think 12st isn’t that big, I actually find it very alarming. 'We keep pushing up the boundaries, first of all 10st wasn't that big, then 11st and now 12st. 'I really worry about the re-sizing that we have done as a nation. 'By putting size 16 models in Debenhams shop windows and embracing bigger seats, bigger beds and bigger geriatric ambulances - we are re-scaling what we perceive as normal.' The controversial figure claims that while she didn't shed a tear at her wedding or the birth of her children, gaining 3st pushing her weight over 11st  'killed her' and left her in constant floods . But while Katie thinks the plus-size models in Debenhams shop windows are unacceptable, the super-skinny mannequins that recently caused an uproar in Topshop are acceptable in her eyes. She said: 'I don’t mind skinny mannequins. 'I didn’t think that they were particularly skinny, I thought that they looked pretty alright. 'There are a lot of kids at that age who are relatively skinny. I was a pretty skinny kid. 'In terms of sizing, Mango starts their plus-size collection at a size 12 and I’ve always said that size 12 is a size called fat. 'Because for me, it’s not necessarily that a size 12 is fat, it’s so that people can have a sense of what is normal. 'I believe that we take our cues on what is normal from what we see on the high street and as we are getting bigger, we are just re-sizing or super-sizing what we think is normal.' In part two of Katie's documentary she debated diet bloggers and plus-size campaigners . Katie's approach to weight loss is five parts stick, zero parts carrot. Asked about a fat tax as a potential solution, making customers pay a heftier tax on junk food than healthy produce, Katie scoffs and suggests a far more radical option. She says: 'I’m not averse to the idea of a fat tax, but I would go much more brutal than that. 'I think the fact that we don’t own our problems in this country is the biggest issue that we have. 'For instance, our NHS in this country is free at point of use, but most people perceive that as completely free. 'Therefore, any problem that they create with their body is also free, with someone else footing the bill.' She continued: 'Obese people are bankrupting us - they cost us something like £17.4 billion last year. 'We need to make these people own the problem. So, we should have a social security insurance scheme, whereby people are charged if they don’t make a genuine effort to look after their own health. 'If you don’t look after your own health, guess what? You’re going to pay more. So if you smoke, guess what? You’re going to pay more. You drink too much, guess what? You’re going to pay more. 'And if you eat yourself into being morbidly obese, then you’re going to pay for your hip operation as well. 'That would make people own their problems better than some kind of fat tax. 'Because this tea and sympathy lark just isn't working.'

(CNN)Nigerians go to the polls on March 28 in a tight contest, which is getting extra attention after the original date was rescheduled at the last minute. Many voters will be holding their registration card in one hand, and their mobile in the other -- making democratic history with the help of tech. In Africa's largest mobile phone market, programs to encourage citizens to get involved in the election have been gaining traction. "Nigerians are looking for information," says Femi Longe, co-founder of Co-Creation Hub which meshes tech and social issues. "Technology is helping people get involved in the conversation around democracy and elections, which is very important, as the general interest in the air has waned since the voting date was changed." As incumbent Goodluck Jonathan prepares to face-off against former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari, Longe and his team have developed TechSQUAD -- a gang of geeks who work on web-projects that help citizens vote. Pre-Vote Prep . One such project is Govote.ng, a popular website that is focused on the registration process -- that's crucial as in Africa's most populous country, with over 170 million citizens, the logistics can be staggering. "Most Nigerians have no idea where they are registered," explains Longe. "We want to simplify the entire election process, [and] make it responsive to users." People log on to the site to see whether they are registered with the Nigeria Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and, if not, they can find out how and where to register. TechSQUAD says approximately 10,000 people visit the site each day. Finger's Influence . Other squads concentrate on the next step. Youth charity YIAGA has set up ThumbPower which gets Nigerians to "use your thumb wisely." Sections like "Who can vote" and "Where and When" set out the process in language anyone can understand. Interactive maps connect users to local activists and the countdown clock is a reminder that the new elections date is approaching fast. "The rescheduling of the election ... did affect the level of voter enthusiasm," explains YIAGA Program Manager, Cynthia Mbamalu. "While there are certain concerns about security and the guarantee of free, fair and credible elections, the interest in this election is founded on the belief that this time votes will count." Personality Problem . This election will be the first since Nigeria re-calculated it's GDP and pulled ahead of South Africa to become the continent's biggest economy. With a nominal GDP of $510 billion, and an oil sector that makes up 96% of total export earnings, the outcome of the vote will be closely watched by policy makers and businesses all over the world. Politicians, however, stand accused of relying on personalities rather than policies when it comes to winning votes. "The strength of a leader's personality and his key personal networks are playing a very strong role," says Jasper Veen, Nigeria Director at National Democratic Institute. "Both flag-bearers occasionally attempt to articulate policy positions -- it is still a far cry from policy-based politics." And this is set to be a particular issue in this poll, as some seek a strongman who can defeat Boko Haram militants in the North-East -- the main justification authorities used when explaining the decision to delay the vote by six weeks. To fight this popularity contest, TechSQUAD collaborated with The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) to produce ngmanifesto.org, which explains what the parties plan to do to improve education, the economy and infrastructure. And once a government is elected, the site will track whether election pledges become reality. 'Quick Count' Technology will also play a big role on voting day. A representative volunteer network of 4,000 observers trained by Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) will corroborate official election results using a system of text messages. The SMSs are coded so they cannot be intercepted, and also to ensure the data can be organized and communicated quickly. The process aims to bring transparency to the elections, and will be assisted by Niger's Former Prime Minister, Mahamadou Danda, who is part of a smaller team of international observers organized by the National Democratic Institute. Such independent observation is likely to speak to the thousands of citizens concerned with governance in the country. A recent Afrobarometer poll found that 68% of respondents are "not very" or "not at all" satisfied with the way democracy is working in Nigeria. Another approach to inspire citizens to get involved in the election is the Nigerian Constitution App which has been downloaded almost 1 million times according to The Indigo Trust. By making the constitution available on mobile phones, the app aims to teach citizens about national laws and inspire them to vote. And there's also BudgIT -- a site that publishes state and federal budgets for all to see. The list of election-based websites and apps goes on -- too many to mention here. But, while the election outcome is yet to be seen, it seems that the tech involved could bring a formidable force to the ballot box. More from Marketplace Africa .

To fight this popularity contest, TechSQUAD collaborated with The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) to produce ngmanifesto.org, which explains what the parties plan to do to improve education, the economy and infrastructure. And once a government is elected, the site will track whether election pledges become reality. 'Quick Count' Technology will also play a big role on voting day. A representative volunteer network of 4,000 observers trained by Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) will corroborate official election results using a system of text messages. The SMSs are coded so they cannot be intercepted, and also to ensure the data can be organized and communicated quickly. The process aims to bring transparency to the elections, and will be assisted by Niger's Former Prime Minister, Mahamadou Danda, who is part of a smaller team of international observers organized by the National Democratic Institute. Such independent observation is likely to speak to the thousands of citizens concerned with governance in the country. A recent Afrobarometer poll found that 68% of respondents are "not very" or "not at all" satisfied with the way democracy is working in Nigeria. Another approach to inspire citizens to get involved in the election is the Nigerian Constitution App which has been downloaded almost 1 million times according to The Indigo Trust. By making the constitution available on mobile phones, the app aims to teach citizens about national laws and inspire them to vote. And there's also BudgIT -- a site that publishes state and federal budgets for all to see. The list of election-based websites and apps goes on -- too many to mention here. But, while the election outcome is yet to be seen, it seems that the tech involved could bring a formidable force to the ballot box. More from Marketplace Africa .

Nick Clegg will pledge that his party will bring forward plans to decriminalise possession of drugs . Nick Clegg will today press ahead with plans to decriminalise possession of all drugs – despite charities warning the move will wreck thousands of lives. The Lib Dem leader is to pledge that his party will bring forward plans to ensure those caught with drugs for ‘personal use’ will no longer face criminal prosecution. Instead, the maximum penalty would be a fine. The move covers the powerful ‘skunk’ strain of cannabis and hard drugs such as crack cocaine and heroin, as well as ‘soft’ drugs including marijuana and amphetamines. Mr Clegg will use a joint event with Virgin boss and long-time pro-drugs campaigner Sir Richard Branson today to claim that the move will spare thousands of young people a criminal record. But experts last night condemned the move, saying it will push thousands of youngsters into addiction and mental health problems. A poll of 100 charities by the Centre for Social Justice found that 69 per cent of charities in the field would be concerned if the Government decriminalised cannabis. More than half – 56 per cent – said cannabis use would increase if its use was decriminalised. Christian Guy, the think tank’s director, said: ‘Drug addiction is ripping Britain’s poorest communities apart. Our network of 300 front-line charities sees this on a daily basis. Many are right to be worried that liberalising cannabis laws will lead to more people taking drugs and developing harder use. ‘Politicians need to listen to these experts. They are the people who witness the devastating impact of drugs in our poorest neighbourhoods day in, day out.’ Mary Brett, a trustee of the charity Cannabis Skunk Sense, said there was a ‘severe contradiction’ between the policy and Mr Clegg’s concern for mental health. She said: ‘Nick Clegg demonstrates complete ignorance of the facts on drugs like cannabis and skunk. There is overwhelming evidence of a link between skunk and mental health problems like psychosis and schizophrenia. ‘If you decriminalise or legalise drugs then children will think it is okay to do, that it is safe. It is deeply irresponsible.’ Mr Clegg will use a joint event with Virgin boss and long-time pro-drugs campaigner Sir Richard Branson to claim that the move will spare thousands of young people a criminal record . Mr Clegg’s intervention comes weeks after a major academic study found that use of powerful skunk cannabis trebled the risk of having a psychotic episode. Under the Lib Dem proposals – which have been vetoed by David Cameron in government – drug users would no longer face prosecution if caught carrying drugs deemed to be for personal use. The maximum penalty would be a fine, with no criminal record. Persistent drug users would be referred for treatment or put on education programmes. A spokesman for Mr Clegg said the Deputy Prime Minister believed drugs should be treated as a ‘health issue, rather than a criminal justice issue’. ‘Nick is anti-drugs,’ he said. ‘But just throwing people into the criminal justice system isn’t working – skunk use is going up.’ Mr Clegg speaks during a visit to church in 2010 after revealing he is no longer an atheist . He had seemed happy to be considered an atheist. But it appears Nick Clegg has had a change of heart – and admitted he is warming to God. The Liberal Democrat leader yesterday spoke of the ‘great joy’ he experiences when attending Mass with his Catholic wife Miriam. He told Premier Christian Radio he was now uncomfortable being labelled as an atheist. ‘I now accompany Miriam and the children, and do so with great joy, to Mass pretty much every weekend,’ he said. ‘I sometimes think it must be the most wonderful thing to be infused with faith. It’s not something that’s happened to me, it’s not happened to me yet. I would embrace it.’ In 2007, Mr Clegg was asked if he believed in God and replied simply: ‘No.’ He later said he had ‘enormous respect’ for people of religious faith but was not an ‘active believer’. Mr Clegg has always said he is happy for his children to be brought up as Catholics. His eldest son Antonio now attends the London Oratory, one of the country’s leading Catholic state schools.

England's hopes of winning the Grand Slam is over after being comfortably beaten by Ireland in Dublin - who themselves moved to the top of the Six Nations standings and put themselves in pole position. Robbie Henshaw scored the only try of the game and Jonny Sexton kicked four penalties and a conversion as the Irish dominated Stuart Lancaster's side for most of the game.

His lineout throwing went awry a couple of times in the first half but he was full of intensity around the field. George Ford (left) kicked three penalties for the away side but he struggled with lapses in concentration . Dan Cole – 6 .

(CNN)On Saturday, just hours after four suicide bombers set off a series of blasts in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri that left at least fifty people dead and scores more wounded, the militant organization thought responsible for the attacks, Boko Haram, reportedly announced that it was swearing allegiance to the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). According to a report quoting the SITE extremist monitoring organization, an audio recording purportedly from Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, hailed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as "caliph" and declared: "We announce our allegiance to the Caliph...and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity." This latest development is not entirely unexpected given the increasing convergence between the two groups over the course of the last year as well as the severe pressure that the militaries of Nigeria and its neighbors have recently (if somewhat belatedly) brought to bear on it. In fact, the "shout-outs" exchanged regularly between Boko Haram and ISIS were not just rhetorical flourishes, but indicative of a veritable courtship as the former appropriated more and more of the latter's symbolism, tactics, and ideology. This isn't the first time that Boko Haram has adapted itself to conform with a larger extremist network that could aid it: previously the group underwent a similar evolution after Shekau took over from its slain founder, Muhammad Yusuf, in 2009 and aligned it with al-Qaeda's affiliate in North Africa, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which gave Boko Haram training as well as facilitated its carrying out of Nigeria's first suicide bombings in 2011. Despite the assistance that Boko Haram received from AQIM and other aligned groups in the years since, the Nigerian militants' ideology and brutal tactics have progressively drawn closer to those of ISIS. Like ISIS, Boko Haram has progressed far beyond asymmetric terrorist attacks to sophisticated military operations resulting in its successfully overrunning and effectively controlling large parts in northeastern Nigeria and displacing millions of people. Just two weeks ago, in his most recent annual Worldwide Threat Assessment, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned the U.S. Congress that "Boko Haram will probably continue to solidify its control over its self-declared Islamic state in northeastern Nigeria and expand its terror campaign into neighboring Nigerian states, Cameroon, Niger, and Chad." The timing of Shekau's pledge of allegiance is not without its strategic logic. Notwithstanding its string of victories through the beginning of this year, Boko Haram has been reeling in recent weeks from a series of military defeats at the hands of the Nigerian armed forces as well as a multinational force from neighboring countries, including Niger, Chad, and Cameroon. The Nigerian government and its regional allies have been pushing back and, in quite a number of instances, retaking towns. Likewise, ISIS has seen its rampage through Syria and Iraq stall and it has increasingly been put on the defensive by operations like the massive Iranian-backed Iraqi offensive to retake Tikrit this past week. Thus for both groups the new linkage provides a much-needed propaganda fillip at a just the right moment. So what does the pledge mean moving forward? At least in the short term, the merger will not have much immediate impact on the battlefield: the different social and political contexts in which each operates and the vast geographical distance separating the two groups means that each will have to face its foes with little more than moral support from each other, notwithstanding some evidence of possible collaboration in cyberspace and in terms of media production. However, finding the military noose tightening around him, and with the approbation of his new ISIS overlord who has embraced all manner of brutal tactics ranging from mass kidnappings and executions to the burning alive of a captured Jordanian pilot, Shekau can be expected to give even freer rein to the gruesome tactics for which he stands out, even among company such as this. And with Nigerians scheduled to cast ballots in a hotly contested presidential election on March 28, it is virtually guaranteed that militants, who reject democratic politics along with other "infidel" ideas, will target the electioneering and voting processes as well as try to exploit whatever disputes and tensions arise from them. Saturday's quadruple bombing in Maiduguri may just be the start of an intensified campaign of terrorist attacks. Over time, however, it could lead to the internationalization of a threat that has up to now largely been confined geographically. There is the risk that fighters from North Africa and other areas finding it harder to migrate to the ISIS caliphate's territory in the Levant, may well choose to move to the Boko Haram emirate instead. In fact, the international support recently pouring in for the multinational African anti-Boko Haram force from the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and others may render the Nigerian militants' fight all the more attractive to these foreign jihadists. On the other hand, Boko Haram's success as a movement has largely been the result of its denunciations of the Nigerian political elites resonating with the many ordinary citizens as well as its ethnic appeal to the Kanuri population in particular, both of which advantages could be lost if it becomes merely another "province" of a far-flung "Islamic State" focused on a broader jihadist cause. All this suggests that it remains to be seen whether the potential benefits of affiliation with ISIS -- including possible new streams of recruits, funding, and media and other support -- will offset Boko Haram's recent battlefield losses or outweigh the damage that it will incur as result, including greater attention from Western militaries and security agencies. What is clear, however, is that Boko Haram has shown once again that it remains one of the fastest-evolving jihadist groups, one that bears close watching not only for its challenge to the security of Africa's most populous country and its biggest economy, but for its not insignificant threat to the wider region.

A 20-year-old mother who had allegedly decapitated her three-month-old baby girl was suffering from post-partum depression and 'speaking of demons', family members said on Tuesday. Deasia Watkins, from College Hill, Ohio, was charged with aggravated murder after she was found inside a home with her dead baby lying on a counter early on Monday. Police said baby Janiyah was killed by 'homicidal violence', but sources told Fox19 that the child's head had been severed. The coroner reportedly said on Tuesday that the baby suffered multiple stab wounds to the face and a fractured right arm.

Hamilton County Job and Family Services (HCJFS) declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail Online. Ms White also said that another relative had been given temporary custody of the child and Miss Watkins was told to keep away.

Watkins was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center for a mental evaluation. According to court records, the 20-year-old was diagnosed with post-partum psychosis. Hamilton County Juvenile Court records revealed that Janiyah had been placed in the custody of Job & Family Services on March 6 after a complaint filed by the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office last month, WCPO reported. That complaint claimed that the baby girl was neglected. It was unclear how the mother regained custody of the child, but WKRC reported that she had been placed with a family member. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said at a press conference on Tuesday that family services had done their jobs. Relatives were seen visiting the home where the child's body was found on Monday. It was not known if Watkins lived at the address. Property records last place her living at an apartment 10 miles away from the murder scene. WCPO reported that the young mother's only previous brush with the law was a fine for disorderly conduct. The Cincinnati Police Department Homicide Unit and the coroner's office were investigating.

John Swift and Kwame Thomas were on target as England's under 20s beat the United States at Plymouth to record their second win of the week. Having overcome a talented Mexico side on penalties on Wednesday night, Aidy Boothroyd's Young Lions defied horrendous conditions and stubborn opposition to earn another morale-boosting victory ahead of the summer's Toulon Tournament. The result, in front of a large crowd of over 11,000 at Home Park, extended Boothroyd's unbeaten start as England under 20s manager. Kwame Thomas, the Derby County forward, celebrates scoring England's second goal . Thomas celebrates with his team-mates after scoring what proved to be England's winner at Plymouth . Chelsea midfielder John Swift fires home England's opening goal from just outside the penalty box . He made extensive changes from the side that beat Mexico, with Brentford right-back Moses Odubajo the only surviving player of the team. With gale-force winds and torrential rain greeting England on their first visit to the Devon city in 26 years, it took both sides some time to get into their stride. Gradually Swift, the Chelsea midfielder currently on loan at Swindon Town in League One, began to take control of the midfield and he forced a fingertip save from American goalkeeper Jeff Caldwell. The States were happy to play on the counter-attack and Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford had to be alert to deny Maki Tall. Most of the crowd thought England had taken the lead when Leeds United's Alex Mowatt sent a left-footed shot towards goal, but it had actually found the side-netting. Moses Odubajo is tackled by John Requejo during the friendly win at Home Park . American keeper Jeff Caldwell can't stop Thomas's (right) shot from going past him . Thomas gets in another shot during a lively performance as Aidy Boothroyd's team claimed another win . Jack Stephens tries to retrieve the ball at the byline during England's 2-1 win . But England's reward would arrive on the stroke of half-time and it was fitting that Swift should provide the breakthrough. Obubajo advanced down the right and looked up to see Swift lurking on the edge of the area. Taking one touch to control, he fired past Caldwell to split the teams at half-time. The Young Lions continued to boss the game after the break and Mowatt went close again, firing over when Norwich City defender Harry Toffolo found him well-placed inside the box. A second goal duly arrived on 68 minutes - Swift sprung up on the left-wing, beat his man and crossed from the byline to Thomas. The Derby County forward fired home to score what proved to be the winning goal. But the States ensured a nervy finale when Tall pulled one back with 11 minutes to play, and they appeared to be level when Boxi Yomba scored late on. The eagle-eyed referee, however, spotted that Yomba had guided the ball in with his hand.

Jennifer K. 'Kaya' Thompson, 44, has now joined 35 other women who have made claims of sexual assault against Bill Cosby . A Bill Cosby accuser, 'Jane Doe No.2', has decided to reveal her identity after finding the strength to finally go public about the alleged attack 30 years ago. Jennifer K. 'Kaya' Thompson has now joined 35 other women who have made claims of sexual assault against the The Cosby Show star. Ms Thompson, a 44-year-old from Florida, told People: 'It's come to my understanding that there's greater credibility for my testimony with a full name and an image. 'I am so very grateful for the Jane Doe who came before me in the lawsuit 10 years ago... My mother and I were very eager to give our support via testimony at that time – however, not to the general public. I was not quite strong enough then.' In 1988, the then 17-year-old aspiring model met Cosby via her modelling agency in New York. He assured the teen and her parents that he would help her become a star. Ms Thompson told People that Cosby made uncomfortable advances against her which ended in her feeling pressured to perform a sexual act on him. 'I'm like a robot, and that is what I became, and that is what I did for him,' she said. She was reportedly given $700 as she left his home. She told People that she had decided to come forward now because she 'would rather go to bed at night knowing that I've been honest'. She also felt that remaining as 'Jane Doe No.2' made her allegations less credible. Ultimately, Ms Thompson hoped that Cosby will come clean about the mounting allegations against him. Daily Mail Online was awaiting a comment from Cosby's attorney, Marty Singer, on Thursday. When Ms Thompson's story was originally revealed in November 2014, Singer called it 'absurd' to publish an 'unsubstantiated story from this anonymous person'. Scroll down for video . 'Jane Doe No.2' has revealed her identity and claimed that Bill Cosby (pictured in January) sexually assaulted her when she was a teenage model in New York . Thompson was one of the 13 Jane Does in a 2005 civil suit against Cosby from Andrea Constand. Miss Constand eventually settled out of court. Last Friday, Cosby's lawyers asked a federal judge to toss out a defamation lawsuit filed by three women - Tamara Green, Therese Serignese and Linda Traitz - accusing the beleaguered comedian of decades-old sexual offenses. The accusers, all of whom have stepped forward in recent years, said Cosby's representatives publicly branded them as liars while trying to defend his innocence. But Cosby's lawyers said the actor was merely acting in self-defense as his character was under attack. 'The law does not require that one stand idly by while he is publicly attacked,' the lawyers argued in their 38-page filing. 'Instead the law entitles an individual who is accused of serious wrongdoing to rebut the allegations without facing defamation claims.' Joseph Cammarata, a lawyer for the three accusers, said his clients disagree with that position. 'We believe that the law provides that when you make a public statement about an individual, it must be truthful,' he said. 'We look forward to an opportunity to have the truth tried by a jury who can ultimately determine which of the parties was being truthful.' Cosby's legal team has said their client denies all of the allegations of sexual misconduct. The former star of The Cosby Show hasn't been charged with any crime. More than a dozen women have stepped forward in recent years to level various assault accusations. Tamara Green, a 56-year-old California lawyer, says Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in her Los Angeles-area apartment in the early 1970s. Therese Serignese says Cosby drugged and raped her in a dressing room after a show in Las Vegas around 1976. And Linda Traitz alleges he tried to drug her and then groped her on a Southern California beach in about 1970. Tamara Green, a California lawyer, (left) filed a defamation lawsuit against Bill Cosby in December 2014 claiming that he and his attorneys said she had lied about a sexual assault from 40 years ago (she is pictured, right, at the time) Green was joined in the lawsuit by Linda Traitz (left), who alleged that Cosby tried to drug her and then sexually groped her in 1970, and nurse Therese Serignese (right), 57, who said the comic raped her in 1976 when she was 19 years old . Cosby's lawyers said his representatives were responding to the accusations in strongly-worded rebukes. One November 2014 statement references Traitz's 'extensive' criminal record, which includes larceny, fraud and drug possession charges. 'As the old saying goes, "consider the source,"' wrote Cosby attorney Martin Singer, who also attached copies of Traitz's Florida criminal and prison records with the statement. Another November 2014 statement cited by Cosby's accusers offers 'general comments' on the allegations and does not specifically name any of the accusers, his lawyers say. 'The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity,' Singer wrote at the time. 'It is long past time for this media vilification of Mr. Cosby to stop.' The three women seek an unspecified amount of money for compensatory and punitive damages. Many of the accusations against him exceed the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution. But the scandal has taken its toll on the 77-year-old actor and comedian as he has sought to revive his career with a national stand-up comedy tour. Cosby has canceled or postponed more than a dozen performances as more accusers have come forward, and women's groups have protested or threatened to rally at many of his public appearances. Lawyers for the three accusers have until March 20 to file a reply to Cosby's motion to dismiss the suit. Green originally filed the defamation lawsuit in December 2014 and Serignese and Traitz joined later. The suit is filed in US District Court in Springfield, in western Massachusetts. Cosby has a home nearby in Shelburne Falls.

<s>[INST] Jennifer K. 'Kaya' Thompson, 44, has now joined 35 other women who have made claims of sexual assault against Bill Cosby . A Bill Cosby accuser, 'Jane Doe No.2', has decided to reveal her identity after finding the strength to finally go public about the alleged attack 30 years ago. Jennifer K. 'Kaya' Thompson has now joined 35 other women who have made claims of sexual assault against the The Cosby Show star. Ms Thompson, a 44-year-old from Florida, told People: 'It's come to my understanding that there's greater credibility for my testimony with a full name and an image. 'I am so very grateful for the Jane Doe who came before me in the lawsuit 10 years ago... My mother and I were very eager to give our support via testimony at that time – however, not to the general public. I was not quite strong enough then.' In 1988, the then 17-year-old aspiring model met Cosby via her modelling agency in New York. He assured the teen and her parents that he would help her become a star. Ms Thompson told People that Cosby made uncomfortable advances against her which ended in her feeling pressured to perform a sexual act on him. 'I'm like a robot, and that is what I became, and that is what I did for him,' she said. She was reportedly given $700 as she left his home. She told People that she had decided to come forward now because she 'would rather go to bed at night knowing that I've been honest'. She also felt that remaining as 'Jane Doe No.2' made her allegations less credible. Ultimately, Ms Thompson hoped that Cosby will come clean about the mounting allegations against him. Daily Mail Online was awaiting a comment from Cosby's attorney, Marty Singer, on Thursday. When Ms Thompson's story was originally revealed in November 2014, Singer called it 'absurd' to publish an 'unsubstantiated story from this anonymous person'. Scroll down for video . 'Jane Doe No.2' has revealed her identity and claimed that Bill Cosby (pictured in January) sexually assaulted her when she was a teenage model in New York . Thompson was one of the 13 Jane Does in a 2005 civil suit against Cosby from Andrea Constand. Miss Constand eventually settled out of court. Last Friday, Cosby's lawyers asked a federal judge to toss out a defamation lawsuit filed by three women - Tamara Green, Therese Serignese and Linda Traitz - accusing the beleaguered comedian of decades-old sexual offenses. The accusers, all of whom have stepped forward in recent years, said Cosby's representatives publicly branded them as liars while trying to defend his innocence. But Cosby's lawyers said the actor was merely acting in self-defense as his character was under attack. 'The law does not require that one stand idly by while he is publicly attacked,' the lawyers argued in their 38-page filing. 'Instead the law entitles an individual who is accused of serious wrongdoing to rebut the allegations without facing defamation claims.' Joseph Cammarata, a lawyer for the three accusers, said his clients disagree with that position. 'We believe that the law provides that when you make a public statement about an individual, it must be truthful,' he said. 'We look forward to an opportunity to have the truth tried by a jury who can ultimately determine which of the parties was being truthful.' Cosby's legal team has said their client denies all of the allegations of sexual misconduct. The former star of The Cosby Show hasn't been charged with any crime. More than a dozen women have stepped forward in recent years to level various assault accusations. Tamara Green, a 56-year-old California lawyer, says Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in her Los Angeles-area apartment in the early 1970s. Therese Serignese says Cosby drugged and raped her in a dressing room after a show in Las Vegas around 1976. And Linda Traitz alleges he tried to drug her and then groped her on a Southern California beach in about 1970. Tamara Green, a California lawyer, (left) filed a defamation lawsuit against Bill Cosby in December 2014 claiming that he and his attorneys said she had lied about a sexual assault from 40 years ago (she is pictured, right, at the time) Green was joined in the lawsuit by Linda Traitz (left), who alleged that Cosby tried to drug her and then sexually groped her in 1970, and nurse Therese Serignese (right), 57, who said the comic raped her in 1976 when she was 19 years old . Cosby's lawyers said his representatives were responding to the accusations in strongly-worded rebukes. One November 2014 statement references Traitz's 'extensive' criminal record, which includes larceny, fraud and drug possession charges. 'As the old saying goes, "consider the source,"' wrote Cosby attorney Martin Singer, who also attached copies of Traitz's Florida criminal and prison records with the statement. Another November 2014 statement cited by Cosby's accusers offers 'general comments' on the allegations and does not specifically name any of the accusers, his lawyers say. 'The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity,' Singer wrote at the time. 'It is long past time for this media vilification of Mr. Cosby to stop.' The three women seek an unspecified amount of money for compensatory and punitive damages. Many of the accusations against him exceed the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution. But the scandal has taken its toll on the 77-year-old actor and comedian as he has sought to revive his career with a national stand-up comedy tour. Cosby has canceled or postponed more than a dozen performances as more accusers have come forward, and women's groups have protested or threatened to rally at many of his public appearances. Lawyers for the three accusers have until March 20 to file a reply to Cosby's motion to dismiss the suit. Green originally filed the defamation lawsuit in December 2014 and Serignese and Traitz joined later. The suit is filed in US District Court in Springfield, in western Massachusetts. Cosby has a home nearby in Shelburne Falls. [/INST] Jennifer K. 'Kaya' Thompson has now joined 35 other women who have made claims of sexual assault against the The Cosby Show star .

Cyril Neame's (pictured) distraught family have moved the 83-year-old from his care home after he was bitten by a rat while he slept . A war veteran with dementia has been moved from his care home after being bitten by a rat while he slept. Cyril Neame's family accused staff at Haydon Mayer care home of failing to promptly tell them about the attack which left him with bite marks, bruising and recurring nightmares. The 83-year-old was taken to hospital and given a tetanus jab after being bitten on his right hand but staff at the council-run home didn't tell his wife for another two days. When the dementia sufferer was returned to hospital five weeks later for a bad case of cellulitis - a skin infection - the local authority decided to investigate. They cleared the care home of any wrongdoing but Mr Neame was too scared to return and has now been removed by his family. His wife Mavis, 79, said: 'It was such a shock because it's such an unusual thing to happen. It was very upsetting. 'It didn't seem real and it's only afterwards you realise how bad it is. 'He was very worried about going back to the care home because he was worried that if he complained he wouldn't get good treatment. 'It's one of those things, it's so rare and unfortunate.' Daughter-in-law Natasha Ann Neame said staff told them the rat must have entered through an open window because it was raining outside the home in Herne Bay, Kent. The pensioner was left with puncture marks and bruising on his arms after being bitten by the rodent and had to be given a tetanus jab by care home staff . Mr Neame was attacked last October at the council-run facility in Herne Bay, Kent but his family say they were not told about the incident until he was taken to hospital with cellulitis and doctors discovered the bite mark . She also questioned the decision not to inform them immediately of the attack last October. Natasha, 26, said Mr. Neame, who fought with the Gloucester Regiment in the Korean War, was tormented by nightmares of the incident. The Korean War veteran, who fought with the Gloucester Regiment, has been tormented by recurring nightmares ever since the incident . She added: 'He said it was a big rat and that it had climbed up onto his bed and it was on his abdomen. 'He didn't realise what it was and when he brushed it off it bit him on the hand and he called for help. 'At first he was joking about the whole thing but then he started having nightmares about the incident. 'He said he feared the rats were going to get him when he was in hospital. 'They should have called us immediately rather then wait so they could talk to us face to face as he was really distressed. 'His care in general was just not good enough and the doctors couldn't believe his cellulitis had been allowed to get that bad. 'We are angry about it but he is safe now and that is what matters.' Kent County Council launched an investigation after the retired postman's admission to hospital but have now cleared staff of any blame. A spokesman said: 'Our investigation found that the staff had acted professionally and appropriately to safeguard residents. 'Mr Neame was later admitted to hospital with a condition unrelated to the rat bite and then decided he no longer wanted to remain at Haydon Mayer. 'Mr Neame's case manager supported him to move to another nursing home after leaving hospital and we understand he has settled in well.' The most recent CQC inspection of the care home found no problems with the quality of care provided. Mr Neame has now been moved to the High Meadows home in Canterbury. The local authority launched an investigation into the incident at Haydon Mayer Care Home (pictured) in Kent but have since cleared it of any wrongdoing .

A failure in LAPD handwriting analysis 14 years ago meant that Robert Durst was free to kill again, according to a search warrant. Durst, a member of a wealthy New York real estate family, was arrested in New Orleans over the weekend and charged with murder for the shooting of Susan Berman in December 2000. Police focused on Durst's handwriting 14 years ago, after a note in an envelope tipped them off to Berman's death. But a document examiner wrongly concluded that the handwriting did not match Durst's. Scroll down for video . Accused: Robert Durst was arrested after he seemed to give himself away during a taped interview for an HBO documentary investigating his possible links to three killings . Evidence: The handwriting on this notorious note that tipped off police was eventually matched to Durst . Missed: The handwriting was initially thought to belong to somebody else after LAPD analysts made errors in their assessment . Match: Eventually, the writing was compared against samples of Durst's writing and the similarities were found to be striking . Sinister: Robert Durst is escorted into Orleans Parish Prison after his arrest. He escaped police attention for years, partially due to a failed handwriting analysis 14 years ago . Writing on the note and envelope, which was written in block lettering, misspelled 'Beverley Hills Police' and included the word 'cadaver' along with Berman's Beverly Hills address. In 2001, Los Angeles Police Department document examiner William Leaver concluded it was 'highly probable' that it was written by Nyle Brenner, Berman's manager and friend. The assessment was 'rubber stamped' by Leaver's supervisor, who told detectives in September that she had not backed the findings up with an independent technical review. Investigators had initially failed to analyze examples of Durst's handwriting, and it wasn't until eight months later that a comparison was made. Leaver said 'similarities' were enough to request more writing samples, which police eventually obtained. In June 2003, Leaver revised his assessment to conclude that the handwriting was likely Durst's. The conflicting analyses meant that valuable time lost. By then, Durst had been charged in Texas with the murder and dismemberment of Morris Black. Investigation: Law enforcement officers stand outside the Robert Durst's Houston home . Forensic: Durst himself may have implicated the property in a recording made while talking to himself after a tense interview for the HBO series . Eventually, the envelope, letter and writing samples were sent to the California Department of Justice and an investigator concluded that Durst was 'probably the author of the cadaver letter and note'. The Los Angeles case went dormant, and wasn't revived until 2012, when law enforcement learned of a six-part HBO series about his links to three killings entitled The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. He is suspected of killing his first wife, who disappeared in New York in 1982; Berman, the daughter of a mobster, who acted as his spokeswoman after his wife disappeared; and a 71-year-old neighbor in Texas, whose dismembered body was found floating in Galveston Bay in 2001. The filmmakers say they shared tape with police months ago of interviews with Durst, including his reactions to handwriting analysis and what appears to be a confession to Berman's killing. In October and November, the LAPD had two independent examiners analyzed the documents and both concluded that Durst was the author. Durst was arrested earlier this month, shortly before the finale of the HBO documentary. He has only ever been tried for the Texas killing, and he was acquitted of murder. Authorities on Tuesday searched Durst's Houston home, and the warrant released Wednesday details the timeline of the Berman case. The LAPD has declined comment until Durst is in its custody. He is currently being held in Louisiana on gun charges. Durst's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said the conflicting determinations on the handwriting 'shows you what junk science really is.' He also questioned what evidence police expected to find in Durst's Houston home. But Durst himself may have implicated the property in a recording made while talking to himself after a tense interview for the HBO series, which concluded Sunday. Just before saying he 'killed them all,' he says, 'I don't know what's in the house'. The search warrant affidavit showed that authorities were concerned Durst, who has an estimated net worth of $100 million, might be preparing to flee the country. He had withdrawn large sums of money from multiple bank accounts, including daily amounts of $9,000, for 35 days starting in October. Durst was under FBI surveillance. Agents arrested him in a New Orleans hotel under the name 'Everette Ward,' finding nearly $43,000 in cash, a gun and a rubber mask that could cover his head and neck in his room, the affidavit says. A law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation said that it was a kind of 'old man mask', and investigators were looking at whether he had been using it to travel anonymously. Durst could face the death penalty if convicted of killing Berman.

In 2001, police analysed the handwriting on a note alerting them to the death of Susan Berman . They wrongly concluded that it didn't match Durst's writing . This meant that valuable time was lost . Millionaire Durst is suspected of three brutal murders .

The number of customers trapped in poor-paying ISAs has doubled in the last two years . Savers are being hit with the worst interest rates in history with a third of Isa accounts now paying less than 1 per cent a year. The number of customers trapped in poor-paying Isas has doubled in the last two years as interest rates on them plummet to new lows. One in six accounts offer less than the Bank of England’s base rate at just 0.5 per cent, while some savers are stuck on rates of 0.1 per cent. The proportion of these tax-free accounts returning below 1 per cent has doubled in the last two years, from one in six to one in three. It means that on the current worst Isa rate of 0.1 per cent, someone depositing £15,000 would make a paltry £15 a year in interest. In contrast, a saver on the most competitive rate of 1.5 per cent would make £225 – a difference of £210 a year. With four weeks left to use this year’s £15,000 Isa allowance, many savers will question the value of such accounts. The Building Societies Association said there was not ‘one single factor’ driving down Isa rates but said the ‘persistently low base rate’ had contributed to lower returns. A spokesman added: ‘I don’t think there is a hard correlation between Isa rates and mortgage rates. The Building Societies Association said there was not ‘one single factor’ driving down Isa rates but said the ‘persistently low base rate’ had contributed to lower returns . ‘Each provider has to strike a balance between savings rates and mortgage rates as they need both savers and borrowers.’ Experts also blame the Government’s Funding for Lending scheme, which allowed banks to borrow cheaply in return for handing out home and business loans after the economic crisis. The scheme meant that banks were no longer dependent on savers’ money – reducing the need to offer competitive rates, it is claimed. Anna Bowes, of independent savings website Savings Champion, said: ‘After six years of the base rate at 0.5 per cent, this is toughest time on record for savers, and Isa savers have certainly not been immune to the pain. ‘Isas were once seen as the go-to savings product due to their tax-free status. ‘But with rates at an all-time low, some savers – especially those looking to build up a short-term lump sum for perhaps a house deposit or a car – may need to be more creative. ‘High-interest savings accounts offer rates of up to 5 per cent before tax, so even a taxpayer could find that this route could earn them more interest.’ But Rachel Springall, of the website Moneyfacts, warned: ‘Despite the gloomy outlook on savings rates, consumers need to use their tax-free allowance or lose it. ‘While there might be an abundance of taxable savings accounts out there, it is always worthwhile to track down an Isa equivalent and use the yearly tax-free allowance.’ Savers have lost out on £4.7billion in the last three years due to low interest rates.

Figures show savers are being hit with the worst interest rates in history . A third of ISA accounts are now paying less than one per cent per year . One in six accounts offer less than Bank of England's 0.5% base rate . Number of tax-free accounts returning less than 1% has doubled .

The proportion of these tax-free accounts returning below 1 per cent has doubled in the last two years, from one in six to one in three. It means that on the current worst Isa rate of 0.1 per cent, someone depositing £15,000 would make a paltry £15 a year in interest. In contrast, a saver on the most competitive rate of 1.5 per cent would make £225 – a difference of £210 a year. With four weeks left to use this year’s £15,000 Isa allowance, many savers will question the value of such accounts. The Building Societies Association said there was not ‘one single factor’ driving down Isa rates but said the ‘persistently low base rate’ had contributed to lower returns. A spokesman added: ‘I don’t think there is a hard correlation between Isa rates and mortgage rates. The Building Societies Association said there was not ‘one single factor’ driving down Isa rates but said the ‘persistently low base rate’ had contributed to lower returns . ‘Each provider has to strike a balance between savings rates and mortgage rates as they need both savers and borrowers.’ Experts also blame the Government’s Funding for Lending scheme, which allowed banks to borrow cheaply in return for handing out home and business loans after the economic crisis. The scheme meant that banks were no longer dependent on savers’ money – reducing the need to offer competitive rates, it is claimed. Anna Bowes, of independent savings website Savings Champion, said: ‘After six years of the base rate at 0.5 per cent, this is toughest time on record for savers, and Isa savers have certainly not been immune to the pain. ‘Isas were once seen as the go-to savings product due to their tax-free status. ‘But with rates at an all-time low, some savers – especially those looking to build up a short-term lump sum for perhaps a house deposit or a car – may need to be more creative. ‘High-interest savings accounts offer rates of up to 5 per cent before tax, so even a taxpayer could find that this route could earn them more interest.’ But Rachel Springall, of the website Moneyfacts, warned: ‘Despite the gloomy outlook on savings rates, consumers need to use their tax-free allowance or lose it. ‘While there might be an abundance of taxable savings accounts out there, it is always worthwhile to track down an Isa equivalent and use the yearly tax-free allowance.’ Savers have lost out on £4.7billion in the last three years due to low interest rates. [/INST] Figures show savers are being hit with the worst interest rates in history . A third of ISA accounts are now paying less than one per cent per year .

Surgeon Dr Gabrielle McMullin says sexism is so rife among surgeons in Australia that young woman who want a career in medicine would do best to 'comply' Female surgeons are only tolerated in Australian hospitals if they are ‘single, childless and pretend to be men’ a female doctor has claimed, as dozens of women in the male-dominated profession open up about their experiences of sexism. Following controversial comments by a female senior surgeon who told aspiring female doctors to go along with sexual abuse at work for the sake of their careers, more women have claimed sexual harassment is a ‘major issue’ in the medical profession. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, one female doctor said she was told by a male colleague women were ‘f***ing useless’. A consultant surgeon instructed her to ‘get some knee pads and learn to suck c**k’ and another senior colleague ensured that she was shunned when she stood up for herself after he inappropriately touched her. ‘They think they own you, a lot of these guys,’ she said. Other female surgeons, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisals, told how a ‘boys club’ mentality within the profession led to women being ostracised when they complained about sexual harassment. In an ABC radio interview on Friday, Dr Gabrielle McMullin, a top vascular surgeon in Sydney, said sexism is so rife among male surgeons in Australian hospitals that young women would do best to grin and bear it. Her comments follow a warning she issued to young women at Sydney's Parliament House on Friday, during the launch of a book she co-authored on gender equality. 'What I tell my trainees is that, if you are approached for sex, probably the safest thing to do in terms of your career is to comply with the request,' she said. At the launch of 'Pathways to Gender Equality in Australia' on Friday, Dr McMullin advised female trainees to avoid putting themselves in vulnerable situations. But giving in to unwanted sexual advances is easier than pursuing perpetrators, she warned, because the sexism is so entrenched. Dr McMullin has stood by her comments warning aspiring female medics to comply if approached for sex in the workplace . Dr McMullin told ABC's AM program the story of Dr Caroline Tan, a young doctor who won a sexual harassment case in 2008 against a surgeon who forced himself on her while she was training at a Melbourne Hospital. Dr Tan didn't tell anyone what had happened until the surgeon started giving her reports that were so bad they threatened the career she had worked so hard for. But McMullin warns complaining to the supervising body is the 'worst thing' trainees could do. 'Despite that victory, she has never been appointed to a public position in a hospital in Australasia,' she said of the case. 'Her career was ruined by this one guy asking for sex on this night.' 'And realistically, she would have been much better to have given him a blow-job on that night.' Dr McMullin's comments have been roundly criticised by others in the medical profession, women's rights and sexual abuse support groups as 'appalling.' Female surgeons, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisals, have told how a 'boys club' mentality within the profession led to women being ostracised when they complained about sexual harassment . Many social media users are angry at Dr McMullin's comments and have taken to Facebook to express their disgust . The president of the Australian Medical Association of Victoria,  Dr Tony Bartone, 'strongly disagrees' with Dr McMullin's advice. 'This old view of acceptance needs to be eradicated,' he told Fairfax media. 'Sexual assault is a crime and will not be tolerated by our society. The medical profession is not exempt from this maxim.' Despite the attacks, Dr McMullin stood by her comments on Saturday, saying her advice was practical and true, and it was offered because she is 'so frustrated with what is going on.' The public response on social media has been mixed, with many in the community expressing dismay at the remarks. 'We live in a world where we want our girls to have an education so they can have a career and they can look after themselves independently. I sure am saddened by these comments,' wrote one facebook user. But responses from the community have been mixed . Many Facebook  users have also come out in support of Dr McMullin for exposing the sexism . But many others have applauded Dr McMullin for drawing attention to the pervasive nature of sexual harassment at work. 'I think the problem is that she's probably right. This behaviour is not limited to surgeons, it pervades so many professional fields,' writes one Facebook user. 'Don't shoot the messenger, fix the situation!' said another. 'If anyone would know how things work in that system, it would be someone in her position.' Dr McCullin has told Fairfax she's received many phone calls since Friday from women to say 'thank you.' 'It's been hidden and suppressed for so long and it's only when it comes out in the open that you can do something about it. So, I guess this is my attempt to air it,' she said. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2011, surgeons were predominately male, with the vast majority (94 per cent) of orthopaedic surgeons, and around nine in ten vascular (89 per cent) and cardiothoracic (88 per cent) surgeons being men. Only 25 per cent of surgery trainees in Australia are women. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2011, surgery is still a male dominated profession .

Benjamin Netanyahu has received support in the form of action movie star Chuck Norris, who claims the Israeli leader's re-election is crucial for the safety of the country. In a short YouTube video called Please Vote For Prime Minister Netanyahu, Norris, 75, said: 'I watched Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech before Congress, and I saw a man who loves his country with all his heart and soul. I also saw a strong leader that is absolutely crucial for the safety of the Israeli people.

'You have an incredible country, and we want to keep it that way': Chuck Norris, 75, has made an intervention into the Israeli election, calling on Benjamin Netanyahu to be re-elected . 'Courage and vision': Norris believes that Netanyahu is the leader who can stand up against the 'evil forces' threatening both Israel and the United States . 'That's why it is so important that you keep a leader who has the courage and vision to stand up against the evil forces that are threatening not only Israel but also the United States. 'You see, we, the American people, need Prime Minister Netanyahu as much as you do. Weak leadership can destroy your country and then the evil forces can concentrate on America, too. 'So I ask you, please, for the sake of Israel and the whole Middle East, vote for Prime Minister Netanyahu on Election Day.

Norris, star of Way of the Dragon, Walker, Texas Ranger; and the subject of countless internet memes and jokes, backed Mr Netanyahu during the last Israeli election. He is also not the only Hollywood star to lend his support to Mr Netanyahu. Jon Voight, the Oscar winner and father of Angelina Jolie, released a video last week voicing his support as well as his disdain for Barack Obama, saying 'President Obama does not love Israel'. He follows this up by saying: 'His whole agenda is to control Israel. In this way, he can be friends with all of Israel’s enemies.' He further says in the Just Jared video: 'He [Obama] doesn’t want Bibi Netanyahu to win this upcoming election. America has not been the same since his presidency. I beg all of you to understand the truth.' Mr Netanyahu meanwhile reiterated an appeal to hard-liners, posting on his Facebook page that high Arab voter turnout was endangering his right-wing party's dominance. 'Arab voters are going to the polls in droves. Left wing organizations are bringing them in buses,' he said. He also called on supporters to vote for him to 'narrow the gap' between Likud and the Zionist Union. 'With your help, and with the help of God, we will build a nationalist government that will protect the state of Israel,' he said.

Ayman Odeh, head of the Joint List, an alliance of four small Arab-backed parties, prepares to vote in Haifa, Israel on Tuesday. Israelis are voting following a campaign largely focused on economic issues . Mr Netanyahu, who is seeking a third consecutive term, has vowed he would never allow the Palestinians to establish a capital in the city's eastern sector and pledged to build 'thousands' of settler homes. He told public radio the two-state solution was now irrelevant, saying the 'reality has changed' and 'any territory which would be handed over would be taken over by radical Islamists'. The Palestinians want east Jerusalem as capital of their future state, and continued settlement building has incensed the international community, which sees it as an obstacle to peace. Throughout his campaign, Mr Netanyahu has repeatedly accused Zionist Union leaders Isaac Herzog and former peace negotiator Tzipi Livni of being ready to abandon Israel's claim to Jerusalem as its indivisible capital. Mr Netanyahu's most strident statement came when he was asked by the rightwing NRG website if it was true that there would be no Palestinian state established if he was re-elected. 'Indeed,' said Mr Netanyahu, who in 2009 had endorsed the idea of two states living side by side. Mr Netanyahu has based his campaign solidly on security issues, notably the Iranian nuclear threat, giving short shrift to the focus on economic issues in centre-left campaigning. 'If Tzipi and Bougie set up the next government, Hamastan 2 will be established on these hills here,' he said in Har Homa, using the nickname of his key challenger, Labour leader Mr Herzog. 'Hamastan' is a derogatory term used by Israeli politicians to refer to the Gaza Strip, which has been ruled by Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas since 2007. Mr Herzog, meanwhile, has dismissed Mr Netanyahu's jibes. On Sunday he pledged to 'safeguard' Jerusalem 'in actions, not just words, more than any other leader', and on Monday insisted Jerusalem would remain forever Israel's 'undivided capital'.

The leader of the party which secures most votes does not necessarily become the next premier - as in 2009 when the centrist Kadima party then headed by Livni effectively won the vote but lost the election in a race which brought Netanyahu to power for a second term.

A young father who strangled his two sons and then sent a picture of a dead body to their mother will not face execution. Gabriel Armandariz, 32, of Graham, Texas was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Thursday at Young County Court. Armandariz killed his two sons, Gatlin, two, and Luke, who was just eight-months-old in April 2011 before sending a string of chilling text messages to their mother, Lauren Smith. One of the messages included a graphic image that appeared to show Luke dead, dangling from the closet held by cloth attached to his neck. While he will not be put to death, defense attorneys insist he will have a miserable life in prison. Scroll down for video . Gabriel Armandariz, 32, of Graham, Texas was sentenced on Thursday to life in prison without parole in the capital murder case (above Armandariz pictured in court on March 12 during his sentencing at the Young County Courthouse in Graham, Texas) Prosecutor Lisa Tanners said the state had to allow the citizens to decide if Armandariz should pay with his life or not (above Armandariz as Young County Judge Stephen Bristow read the jury's decision) He was convicted of the murders on February 27 which was followed by four weeks of testimony that the court heard before deciding his fate. However, the jury decided to spare him his life after stating there were mitigating circumstances to not execute him . Armandariz strangled his two sons, Gatlin (right), two, and Luke (left), eight months, in April 2011. Police found their bodies hidden in a crawl space underneath his home . Armandariz was convicted of the murders on February 27 which was followed by four weeks of testimony that the court heard before deciding his fate, according to the Graham Leader. The jury decided to spare him his life after stating there were mitigating circumstances to not execute him. The father was deemed too dangerous to society to live by prosecutors from the attorney general's office, according to the Star-Telegram. Earlier in the trial, prosecutor Tom Cloudt said: 'Gabriel is a lying, manipulating baby killer, and the evidence has shown this. 'Luke is dead, and Gabriel is trying to get a beer. Gabriel is not concerned.' Armandariz was cited as too dangerous to society to live by prosecutors from the Texas attorney general's office including, Tom Cloudt, who said the father is not phased by the killings . The father sent a string of chilling text messages to the children's mother, Lauren Smith, which included a graphic image that appeared to show Luke dead, dangling from the closet held by cloth attached to his neck (above Armandariz, left, pictured with Smith, right and their two sons) Armandariz called police after killing the boys telling them he had done it because Smith had told him to before ending the two-minute call (above Armandariz pictured with his sons) Last month, the text messages Armandariz sent to Smith where he said he was planning to kill the boys were revealed in court. Armandariz said he was doing it because of her partying ways while possibly pretending to be his new girlfriend. In one of the messages Armandariz sent to his ex, just hours before the boys are believe to have died, he wrote: 'I commend the spirits of these two boys to the Lord. I would much rather be with them than to be out partying with friends.' This was quickly followed by another in which he wrote: 'Look, I’m trying to offer you another opportunity to see our children. But as usual you would much rather be with your friends.' According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, prosecutors in the case argued that Smith was not even aware the texts were coming from Armandariz, and actually believed they were coming from the woman he was dating at the time. This seems to be backed up by the her responses to these texts, as she wrote in one: 'If I were you I’d get the hell away from him. Looks can be deceiving.' On the day the boys died, Armandariz sent a photo to Smith that appeared to show Luke dead. This was followed by the final text, which also showed both boys alive and lying next to him, and read: 'We love u, goodbye.' The final message Armandariz sent Smith, which included an image of both boys alive and lying next to him, read: 'We love u, goodbye' In February, Lt. James Reeves (above) revealed that after seeing the picture of Luke hanging from the closet, police rushed to Armandariz's home hoping to save Gatlin. Following the sentencing on Thursday, Lt. Reeves said justice has been serviced and that reliving the case was 'tough on everybody' Armandariz will be transferred to the Texas Department of Corrections to serve his sentence (pictured above leaving court) Once she received the graphic image of her dead son, she called authorities, according to Everything Lubbock. However, Armandariz had already called police telling them he had killed the boys because Smith had told him to before ending the two-minute call. In the bizarre 911 call he told the operator; 'My girlfriend asked me to kill my babies. What was I supposed to do? My girlfriend told me to kill both of them. What was I supposed to do? I hate her, I hate her, I hate her so much. I’m so scared now.' In February, Lt. James Reeves revealed that after seeing the picture of Luke hanging from the closet, police rushed to Armandariz's home hoping to save Gatlin. 'We were operating on the belief that Luke was dead,' said Lt. Reeves. 'We didn’t know about the older son.' However, when officers arrived, they found he bodies inside a tarp found in a crawl space underneath the residence Armandariz shared with his relatives in Graham. Officers went to Armandriz's home after being alerted about the graphic message sent with image of Luke's dead body. When they arrived, they found both bodies inside a tarp found in a crawl space underneath the residence Armandariz shared with his relatives in Graham . 'We saw four little feet inside the tarp,' said Lt. Reeves. 'One of the feet had a shoe on it. It was a little camel tennis shoe and that’s how we knew. We never laid eyes on the bodies other than to see those feet.' Following the sentencing on Thursday, Lt. Reeves said justice has been serviced and that reliving the case was 'tough on everybody', according to Texomas Homepage. While defense lawyers are happy that Armandariz was allowed to live, he will have a 'very miserable life' in prison, said attorney Terri Moore. 'We have never tried to excuse what Gabriel did,' said Moore. 'What he did was completely wrong and was a criminal act but he’s got life without any possibility of parole and that is a severe punishment. 'It is a harsh punishment. He will have a very miserable life.' Moore added that capital punishment is for the 'worst of the worst human being' and the crime Gabriel committed was horrible, but that he is 'not the worst of the worst human being'. Armandariz will be transferred to the Texas Department of Corrections to serve his sentence.

<s>[INST] A young father who strangled his two sons and then sent a picture of a dead body to their mother will not face execution. Gabriel Armandariz, 32, of Graham, Texas was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Thursday at Young County Court. Armandariz killed his two sons, Gatlin, two, and Luke, who was just eight-months-old in April 2011 before sending a string of chilling text messages to their mother, Lauren Smith. One of the messages included a graphic image that appeared to show Luke dead, dangling from the closet held by cloth attached to his neck. While he will not be put to death, defense attorneys insist he will have a miserable life in prison. Scroll down for video . Gabriel Armandariz, 32, of Graham, Texas was sentenced on Thursday to life in prison without parole in the capital murder case (above Armandariz pictured in court on March 12 during his sentencing at the Young County Courthouse in Graham, Texas) Prosecutor Lisa Tanners said the state had to allow the citizens to decide if Armandariz should pay with his life or not (above Armandariz as Young County Judge Stephen Bristow read the jury's decision) He was convicted of the murders on February 27 which was followed by four weeks of testimony that the court heard before deciding his fate. However, the jury decided to spare him his life after stating there were mitigating circumstances to not execute him . Armandariz strangled his two sons, Gatlin (right), two, and Luke (left), eight months, in April 2011. Police found their bodies hidden in a crawl space underneath his home . Armandariz was convicted of the murders on February 27 which was followed by four weeks of testimony that the court heard before deciding his fate, according to the Graham Leader. The jury decided to spare him his life after stating there were mitigating circumstances to not execute him. The father was deemed too dangerous to society to live by prosecutors from the attorney general's office, according to the Star-Telegram. Earlier in the trial, prosecutor Tom Cloudt said: 'Gabriel is a lying, manipulating baby killer, and the evidence has shown this. 'Luke is dead, and Gabriel is trying to get a beer. Gabriel is not concerned.' Armandariz was cited as too dangerous to society to live by prosecutors from the Texas attorney general's office including, Tom Cloudt, who said the father is not phased by the killings . The father sent a string of chilling text messages to the children's mother, Lauren Smith, which included a graphic image that appeared to show Luke dead, dangling from the closet held by cloth attached to his neck (above Armandariz, left, pictured with Smith, right and their two sons) Armandariz called police after killing the boys telling them he had done it because Smith had told him to before ending the two-minute call (above Armandariz pictured with his sons) Last month, the text messages Armandariz sent to Smith where he said he was planning to kill the boys were revealed in court. Armandariz said he was doing it because of her partying ways while possibly pretending to be his new girlfriend. In one of the messages Armandariz sent to his ex, just hours before the boys are believe to have died, he wrote: 'I commend the spirits of these two boys to the Lord. I would much rather be with them than to be out partying with friends.' This was quickly followed by another in which he wrote: 'Look, I’m trying to offer you another opportunity to see our children. But as usual you would much rather be with your friends.' According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, prosecutors in the case argued that Smith was not even aware the texts were coming from Armandariz, and actually believed they were coming from the woman he was dating at the time. This seems to be backed up by the her responses to these texts, as she wrote in one: 'If I were you I’d get the hell away from him. Looks can be deceiving.' On the day the boys died, Armandariz sent a photo to Smith that appeared to show Luke dead. This was followed by the final text, which also showed both boys alive and lying next to him, and read: 'We love u, goodbye.' The final message Armandariz sent Smith, which included an image of both boys alive and lying next to him, read: 'We love u, goodbye' In February, Lt. James Reeves (above) revealed that after seeing the picture of Luke hanging from the closet, police rushed to Armandariz's home hoping to save Gatlin. Following the sentencing on Thursday, Lt. Reeves said justice has been serviced and that reliving the case was 'tough on everybody' Armandariz will be transferred to the Texas Department of Corrections to serve his sentence (pictured above leaving court) Once she received the graphic image of her dead son, she called authorities, according to Everything Lubbock. However, Armandariz had already called police telling them he had killed the boys because Smith had told him to before ending the two-minute call. In the bizarre 911 call he told the operator; 'My girlfriend asked me to kill my babies. What was I supposed to do? My girlfriend told me to kill both of them. What was I supposed to do? I hate her, I hate her, I hate her so much. I’m so scared now.' In February, Lt. James Reeves revealed that after seeing the picture of Luke hanging from the closet, police rushed to Armandariz's home hoping to save Gatlin. 'We were operating on the belief that Luke was dead,' said Lt. Reeves. 'We didn’t know about the older son.' However, when officers arrived, they found he bodies inside a tarp found in a crawl space underneath the residence Armandariz shared with his relatives in Graham.

A woman's first date with a man she met on OkCupid turned to disaster after he allegedly stole her car. The woman, who has not been named, went for dinner with Gerald Tietz, who charmed her into meeting him at a restaurant in New Jersey last month. The two later went back to the woman's house - at which point Tietz is accusing of filching her car keys and driving off in her red Toyota, along with some of her jewelry.

Police caught Tietz Saturday night after sharing his dating profile and pictures of the 2007 Solara, which had custom plates that read JSRYGRL. According to officers, Tietz lured the woman to Racks Restaurant and Sports Bar in Atco, New Jersey after posing online as a 53-year-old called Gennaro Aladena. Detectives also believe he could have tried the same trick on other women, also employing the pseudonym Mike Rossman, or his apparent nickname, Gooch. Taken: Police published this image of the woman's 2007 Toyota Solara, which has custom plates reading JSRYGRL . Tietz, who is 5'1", and a bald smoker in his 50s, was arrested Saturday in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and booked into the Camden County jail. Police did not explain what happened at the house before the car theft, and would only say that 'at some point' during the encounter 'the male got a hold of the keys'. Tietz said he was from Atlantic City while allegedly posing on the dating site, and officers think he has strong ties to Atlantic County and Philadelphia. First date: Tietz allegedly took the woman to Racks Restaurant and Sports Bar in Atco, New Jersey, before taking the vehicle from her house .

Tragic: Ollie Floyd was weeding the fairways at Celtic Manor Resort golf course in Newport, South Wales, with his father (pictured together) when his buggy crashed into the freezing water . This is the 20-year-old groundsman who was killed at one of Britain's top golf courses yesterday when his buggy plunged into a lake. Ollie Floyd was weeding the fairways at Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales, with his father when their buggy crashed into the freezing water, trapping him inside. Staff on the 'Twenty Ten Course', which hosted the Ryder Cup in 2010, dived in after the vehicle and managed to drag Ollie to the water's edge. Emergency services were called and Mr Floyd, from Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire, was taken to Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His 46-year-old father, was also in the 'agricultural spraying vehicle' when it rolled into the lake and was taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries. The pair worked on sports pitches and stadiums across the country - including Celtic Manor Resort and the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff - for Complete Weed Control Limited. Staff who had jumped in to rescue Ollie were treated at the site. Ollie, who lived with his mother Hayley, 47, was today remembered by members of Ross-On-Wye Rugby Football Club, where he played alongside his father and brother, Tom. Chairman Paul Haley said: 'We are absolutely shocked and devastated. His dad and granddad, they have both been players at the club. 'I'm struggling, it’s very difficult. We are just waiting for someone to ring up and say it’s not true.' Ollie had been named 'most committed player of the season' shortly before his death. A club spokesman said: 'It’s with great sadness that I have to inform you that Ollie Floyd was killed in a tragic accident this morning. 'On your behalf I would like to offer our condolences to Haley, Nick, Tom and all members of the family. A great friend and clubman to us all.' The Celtic Manor Resort will now be the subject of an investigation carried out by Gwent Police and Newport City Council’s health and safety team.

Harry Kane turned to social media on Thursday, full of emotion after England manager Roy Hodgson called him up for the first time. The Tottenham striker talked of ‘pride’ and ‘honour’ on Twitter after being named in the squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania next Friday and the friendly in Italy four days later. Kane, who has scored 26 goals for Tottenham this season, merits his place alongside England captain Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck. Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling is also in the squad but a niggling toe injury could see him play against Lithuania and sit out the Italy clash. Scroll down for full squad . Harry Kane celebrates after scoring for Tottenham Hotspur against Arsenal at White Hart Lane last month . Kane rounds QPR goalkeeper Rob Green to score Spurs' second goal at Loftus Road on March 7 . ‘The whole country is excited to see Harry Kane,’ said Hodgson. ‘His rise has been fantastic. He deserves his chance. He hasn’t been in the squad before, but he has to show he belongs.’ Beyond that, poor Kane discovered what it is really like to be a senior international when he was immediately caught in a club-versus-country row. First the background. The lure of the Aussie dollar has seen Tottenham agree to play Sydney FC on May 30, six days after the final game of the Premier League season. That same weekend, the England squad meet to prepare for a friendly against the Republic of Ireland on June 7 in Dublin, followed by the Euro 2016 qualifier in Slovenia on June 14. There is also a possibility that Kane, a regular in Gareth Southgate’s Under 21 squad, will be selected for the European Championship starting on June 17. ‘Playing for England at Under 21 level is more important than a friendly in Australia and I would be hypocritical if I didn’t give that answer,’ said Hodgson. ‘This business about being tired — he’s played quite a lot of games but he’s not played any more than Wayne Rooney, Jordan Henderson, Joe Hart, Gary Cahill and lots of other players. ‘If he needs a rest there’s a great opportunity when the season ends, before our Under 21s get together. You can’t expect me to say, “Oh no, I understand he will play in Australia and be resting when the Under 21s pitch up”.’ Kane celebrates after scoring for England U21 against Croatia in a Euro 2015 qualifier last year . Still, Tottenham were adamant on Thursday that Kane will travel to Australia to fulfil the Sydney fixture. Kane, 21, has played 42 times for Spurs this season and his goals in three competitions — Premier League, Europa League and Capital One Cup — have earned him international recognition. Inevitably, boss Mauricio Pochettino would prefer the potential PFA Player of the Year to put his feet up this summer. There is a fear of burn-out. ‘We will speak (with Hodgson). It’s a good chance to speak because England train here,’ said Pochettino after England’s squad of 24 was announced. ‘We always try to find what is best for the player. We need to understand every position, but we have a good relationship and after that (talks with Hodgson) we will take a decision.’ As for Kane, he is concerned only with proving himself to the England manager. ‘I’ll be aiming to compete and get myself in the team,’ he said. ‘There are a lot of great players there and I haven’t had time to think about what’s happened but I’m enjoying every minute and want it to continue.’ Beyond the Kane situation, Hodgson had to attend to some general housekeeping at Wembley on Thursday, such as the knockout blow Phil Bardsley seemed to land on his pal Rooney at the captain’s Cheshire home last month. Hodgson said he had no view on the incident, which was revealed last weekend in a Sunday newspaper. ‘You will have to guess whether I am concerned but Wayne’s celebration against Tottenham was one way to take the sting out of the situation,’ said Hodgson. On Monday, when the squad meet at St George’s Park, it will be the first time Hodgson has seen them since November. He had hoped to meet the players at a dinner in January but club managers were against the idea. England manager Roy Hodgson takes his seat before announcing his squad at Wembley on Thursday . Instead, Hodgson recorded a video message which was sent to the squad via England’s video analyst Andy Scoulding and was downloaded on to their iPads. ‘I don’t want to do the Sherlock Holmes bit to find out who has and who hasn’t watched it,’ said Hodgson. ‘I did an introduction to each video and then Gary Neville and Ray Lewington talked over the actual clips. ‘It will break the ice that can develop when the last game was in November and your next one is in March. ‘Whether they found it a worthwhile exercise, I don’t know. If it’s not, then it’s an awful lot of work to do for nothing.’

Not again. Not now. As news of Daniel Sturridge’s latest injury setback emerged, those four words will have swirled around Brendan Rodgers’ mind. Liverpool’s manager has become accustomed to picking teams that do not contain Sturridge — he went from August 31 to January 31 without him, remember — but, as the campaign reaches its defining moment, this is not something he will relish. It was bad enough to lose his captain Steven Gerrard to a three-match suspension last Sunday, and the FA’s decision to give Martin Skrtel, Liverpool’s best defender, the same ban for stamping on David de Gea exacerbated the problem. Daniel Sturridge will be out of action for around a month after picking up a hip injury . The new setback is another blow in a season that has been ruined by injury for the Liverpool striker . Sturridge injured his thigh on England duty last September and didn't play for Liverpool again in 2014 . Premier League goals for Sturridge since his debut in Jan 2013 — from that date until he left for Barca last summer, former strike partner Luis Suarez scored 41 . Immediately after the international break is over, no team in the Barclays Premier League has more at stake than Liverpool, who have a lunchtime trip to Arsenal next Saturday followed by an FA Cup quarter-final replay at Blackburn four days later. Gerrard and Skrtel would have had big contributions to make to those fixtures and, without them, there is absolutely no doubt Liverpool’s chances of success have been compromised. Taking Sturridge away has an even greater impact. Lose at the Emirates Stadium and Ewood Park and the campaign that Liverpool have fought hard to resurrect since Rodgers changed his system to 3-4-3 will effectively be over. That is what is on the line. That is why Rodgers needs Sturridge fit. At this point, it should be noted Sturridge has not set the world alight since he returned as a substitute against West Ham at the end of January. There have been some flashes of star quality but, in a lot of games, his performances could kindly be described as ‘enigmatic’. The thing with Sturridge, however, is that he scores. ‘He is an absolute nightmare for a defender when he is on it,’ Gerrard once observed. Even when he is playing poorly — like last Sunday against Manchester United — you cannot discount him for a moment. He has poise and awareness in the penalty area and it is why Rodgers believe he can become one of Europe’s top strikers. Sturridge scores for Liverpool in their FA Cup fifth round victory at Crystal Palace . Steven Gerrard was hit with a three-match ban after he was sent off against Manchester United . Note the words ‘can become’: something is holding Sturridge back from fulfilling his potential. Can his body stand up to the rigours of football at the highest level? Or is it more psychological than physical? ‘If Daniel had Wayne Rooney’s mentality, he’d be almost unstoppable,’ Jamie Carragher wrote in these pages during the World Cup last summer. ‘Wayne will play through the pain barrier and won’t let a niggle keep him out of the action. ‘Luis Suarez is another who stays away from the treatment room at all costs. With Daniel, however, there was a feeling that everything had to be right for him to train or play. If a knock was playing on his mind, he would want it assessed to be sure he could play at the weekend.’ Sturridge’s latest ailment concerns his hip. He damaged it against United and, after a scan at St George’s Park following a recovery session on Monday, it was left to England manager Roy Hodgson to report that he has suffered ‘a small tear’ to his flexor muscles. Given all that has happened this season, with his initial calf problem being sustained on September 5, it left the 25-year-old ‘absolutely devastated’ that he could not figure in the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania. Martin Skrtel was handed the same ban after he stamped on United goalkeeper David de Gea . The question now, however, concerns how quickly he will be able to recover. It has been mooted that he could be out for up to a month and while that prognosis may seem overly pessimistic, history has shown it is not prudent to give definitive timescales when Sturridge is being treated. You would think, then, given what is at stake, he will now be redoubling his efforts to be ready for the trip to Arsenal. Rodgers will certainly hope so as Mario Balotelli is the only other recognised striker to score for Liverpool since January 31. ‘Winning games and scoring goals is the motto,’ Sturridge posted on Instagram last October. ‘Don’t think people realise how hard it is mentally being injured. I’ve had a lot of time to reflect. Can’t wait to be back!! Best feeling is to be playing football and I take it for granted when you’re fit.’ Much to his dismay, Sturridge has had a lot of time to think this season. His manager will be hoping he gets a lot of time to score. A Champions League place and the FA Cup are at stake.

Daniel Sturridge faces a month on the sidelines with a hip injury . Sturridge has already missed five months of Liverpool's season . Steven Gerrard is also missing, suspended for three games . Martin Skrtel is serving a similar ban for stamping on David de Gea .

<s>[INST] Not again. Not now. As news of Daniel Sturridge’s latest injury setback emerged, those four words will have swirled around Brendan Rodgers’ mind. Liverpool’s manager has become accustomed to picking teams that do not contain Sturridge — he went from August 31 to January 31 without him, remember — but, as the campaign reaches its defining moment, this is not something he will relish. It was bad enough to lose his captain Steven Gerrard to a three-match suspension last Sunday, and the FA’s decision to give Martin Skrtel, Liverpool’s best defender, the same ban for stamping on David de Gea exacerbated the problem. Daniel Sturridge will be out of action for around a month after picking up a hip injury . The new setback is another blow in a season that has been ruined by injury for the Liverpool striker . Sturridge injured his thigh on England duty last September and didn't play for Liverpool again in 2014 . Premier League goals for Sturridge since his debut in Jan 2013 — from that date until he left for Barca last summer, former strike partner Luis Suarez scored 41 . Immediately after the international break is over, no team in the Barclays Premier League has more at stake than Liverpool, who have a lunchtime trip to Arsenal next Saturday followed by an FA Cup quarter-final replay at Blackburn four days later. Gerrard and Skrtel would have had big contributions to make to those fixtures and, without them, there is absolutely no doubt Liverpool’s chances of success have been compromised. Taking Sturridge away has an even greater impact.

Two teenage brothers who tried to join the Islamic State, but who were instead detained at Sydney Airport by counter-terrorism authorities, are 'kids, not killers', Immigration Minister Peter Dutton says. The two Australians, aged 16 and 17, from south west Sydney were trying to leave Australia to fight in a conflict zone in the Middle East and were reportedly brought home by their mother after being detained. Authorities’ suspicions were aroused after the two had booked flights to an unidentified country in the Middle East and their luggage was searched. Scroll down for video . Counter-terrorism authorities accompany the two teenage boys through Sydney Airport after they were stopped from boarding a flight to an undisclosed location in the Middle East . The two teenagers' luggage is searched by security at Sydney Airport . Teenager Abdullah Elmir - dubbed the Ginger Jihadist - is one of the most high profile Australians to have travelled to the Middle East to fight with Islamic State . The two boys were stopped on Friday night Immigration and Border Protection Minister Peter Dutton revealed. In a press conference on Sunday Mr Dutton said that matters remained under investigation and he praised the customs officers for their vigilence. 'These two young men ... are kids, not killers, and they shouldn't be allowed to go to a foreign land to fight and to come back to our shores eventually more radicalised,' he said. 'They (customs officers) have potentially saved the lives of these Australians. IS is a cancer and young people are the most susceptible. 'IS is abhorent and should not be tolerated in our society.' Mohamed Elomar left Sydney and has reportedy joined IS in Iraq . The two teenagers were detained at Sydney airport when they tried to board a flight for the Middle East . Mr Dutton said that traditionally, parents of teenage children had to worry about alcohol, drugs, and driving, but this was a new worry. 'Now there is an added threat of the information being delivered to them over the internet, particularly if they're inclined to go and fight in a foreign land,' he said. '[And] most importantly for our country, when they return, they return more radicalised, and [are] a greater threat to the Australian public. 'We have to be absolutely determined to stare down this ever increasing threat.' Their parents were unaware of their plans to travel to the Middle East. The brothers were later issued court attendance notices. Under the new Foreign Fighters Act, customs officers are allowed to detain people where the officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that the person is intending to commit a Commonwealth offence or is a threat to national security or the security of a foreign country. The Sunday Telegraph reported that Mr Dutton said that the two boys had aroused the suspicion of ‘two alert Customs and Border Protection officers’ who referred them to the terrorism unit. 'What we have here are two teenagers who have been intercepted on their way to a potentially very dangerous situation,' Mr Dutton said. Khaled Sharrouf has already served three years and 11 months in prison . 'As a result of this interception, a Sydney family remains together. 'This highlights afresh the need to work within communities and with parents to disrupt attempts to brainwash our young people.

London (CNN)Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, are to spend the next four days in the United States, visiting the nation's capital and Louisville, Kentucky. The couple arrived in Washington on Tuesday evening. Many people will remember Charles from the day in July 1981 when, as a dashing young prince, he kissed his shy bride, Diana, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in front of the eyes of the world. But many things have changed since then, including their divorce, Diana's death in a car accident in 1997 and his marriage to Camilla, now Duchess of Cornwall. Here are five things to know about the Prince of Wales: . While a lot of attention in recent years has been focused on his sons, Princes William and Harry, Charles is next in line to the British throne. His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has ruled for more than 60 years (in fact, in September she is expected to overtake her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria for the title of Britain's longest-reigning monarch.) Her longevity is welcomed by her subjects, but it means that Charles, at age 66, has spent a long time as a monarch-in-waiting. He's also now a grandfather, thanks to the birth of Prince George in 2013. Charles and Camilla tied the knot on April 9, 2005. The couple first visited the United States together as newlyweds, and Camilla was confronted by hard-core Princess Diana fans with abusive placards. Polls at the time found that between 57% and 73% of Brits opposed Charles' new wife being known as queen. If you go back even further, to 1997, the year Diana died, an Ipsos MORI poll put it at 86%. But there's been a change in sentiment since they married. A new poll conducted by ComRes for CNN found that only 35% now oppose Camilla being known as queen. Nearly one in four said they liked her more now than they did 10 years ago. In an exclusive interview with CNN royal correspondent Max Foster, Charles opened up about the couple's relationship. He met Camilla years before he wed Diana, who famously said in a 1995 BBC TV interview that "there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." Reporter's notebook: Interviewing the royal couple . The prince has admitted talking to his plants in past TV interviews, inviting ridicule from some quarters. But as part of his interest in sustainability, he has championed organic farming and gardening for many years, including on his large country estates. He has a fully functioning organic farm at Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, England, and founded his own organic food brand, Duchy Originals, which now turns a healthy profit and helps fund his charitable foundation. According to his official website, he's an advocate of traditional rural skills and enjoys hedge laying. Charles has riled some people over the years with his outspoken views on architecture, which prioritize the traditional over the modern. In 1984, he made headlines when he described a proposed modern extension to the National Gallery in London as "a monstrous carbuncle," according to news reports from the time. He's also invited controversy by reportedly writing to ministers -- and even the Prime Minister -- on subjects close to his heart. This intervention in the public sphere has troubled those who believe the royals should not get involved in such debates and worry that, once king, Charles may not remain above politics in the way that his mother has. In a piece published by The Architectural Review in December, Charles explained his thinking on architecture, saying "designing places according to the human scale and with Nature at the heart of the process has always been my central concern." The future king has often been photographed on the ski slopes of Europe and in the past has also tried his hand at water skiing, surfing and scuba diving. He was a keen polo player for more than four decades, only retiring from the sport in 2005. This is despite breaking his arm in two places when he fell off a pony during a polo match in 1990. He also climbed in the saddle as a jockey on a number of occasions. His website also describes him as an "experienced watercolourist" who likes to paint in the open air at home and on his travels.

A self-driving car is gearing up for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip from San Francisco to New York that begins next week. A person will always be behind the wheel of the autonomous car, developed by Delphi Automotive, in order to take control if there is a situation the vehicle cannot handle on its own. The car will begin its journey on March 22 so that it can reach New York in time for the International Auto Show. Scroll down for video . A self-driving car developed by Delphi Automotive is preparing for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip next week that will take it from San Francisco to New York . Delphi, a major Michigan-based auto supplier, is planning for the car to drive eight hours a day for eight days. The autonomous vehicle will mainly stick to the highways, where it will be able to pass slower cars and maintain a safe distance from other automobiles all on its own. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens told WIRED the road trip will be the 'ultimate test' for the vehicle, as it will be exposed to a 'range of driving conditions' as well as various types of weather. It's design is based on a 2014 Audi SQ5. According to Delphi officials, the road trip will be the longest automated drive ever attempted in North America. In 2010 an autonomous van created by Italian company VisLab completed an 8,000-mile journey from Europe to Shanghai for three months. Unlike Google's driverless car (pictured), Dephi's vehicle senors are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. Although it will be the Delphi car's longest journey, it won't be its first. The Delphi vehicle has driven around the company's Silicon Valley office and has already completed a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. But the car really earned its stripes when, during a demonstration at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show in January, it braked by itself as two drunk men stumbled into the street in front of it. Delphi says the vehicle is capable of making complex decisions, like stopping and then proceeding at a four-way stop, merging onto the highway or maneuvering around a bicyclist or a trash can. When the car wants the driver to resume control, it uses a verbal warning and flashes lights on the dashboard. Although most experts say a true driverless vehicle is at least a decade away, Delphi's autonomous automobile is helping the technology look more like a regular car. Unlike other driverless cars developed by Google and Honda, the lidar sensors on Dephi's vehicle are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. The car also has cameras throughout, including one that watches the driver. Because lidar systems can cost around $70,000 apiece, they drive up the price of the autonomous prototypes. But Delphi engineer Doug Welk said one of the reasons for the road trip is to help decide what combination of sensors is best suited for the car, which will ultimately help lower costs. Delphi estimates it will cost around $5,000 to make a vehicle almost fully autonomous by 2019.

<s>[INST] A self-driving car is gearing up for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip from San Francisco to New York that begins next week. A person will always be behind the wheel of the autonomous car, developed by Delphi Automotive, in order to take control if there is a situation the vehicle cannot handle on its own. The car will begin its journey on March 22 so that it can reach New York in time for the International Auto Show. Scroll down for video . A self-driving car developed by Delphi Automotive is preparing for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip next week that will take it from San Francisco to New York . Delphi, a major Michigan-based auto supplier, is planning for the car to drive eight hours a day for eight days. The autonomous vehicle will mainly stick to the highways, where it will be able to pass slower cars and maintain a safe distance from other automobiles all on its own. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens told WIRED the road trip will be the 'ultimate test' for the vehicle, as it will be exposed to a 'range of driving conditions' as well as various types of weather. It's design is based on a 2014 Audi SQ5. According to Delphi officials, the road trip will be the longest automated drive ever attempted in North America. In 2010 an autonomous van created by Italian company VisLab completed an 8,000-mile journey from Europe to Shanghai for three months. Unlike Google's driverless car (pictured), Dephi's vehicle senors are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. Although it will be the Delphi car's longest journey, it won't be its first. The Delphi vehicle has driven around the company's Silicon Valley office and has already completed a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. But the car really earned its stripes when, during a demonstration at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show in January, it braked by itself as two drunk men stumbled into the street in front of it. Delphi says the vehicle is capable of making complex decisions, like stopping and then proceeding at a four-way stop, merging onto the highway or maneuvering around a bicyclist or a trash can. When the car wants the driver to resume control, it uses a verbal warning and flashes lights on the dashboard. Although most experts say a true driverless vehicle is at least a decade away, Delphi's autonomous automobile is helping the technology look more like a regular car. Unlike other driverless cars developed by Google and Honda, the lidar sensors on Dephi's vehicle are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. The car also has cameras throughout, including one that watches the driver. Because lidar systems can cost around $70,000 apiece, they drive up the price of the autonomous prototypes. But Delphi engineer Doug Welk said one of the reasons for the road trip is to help decide what combination of sensors is best suited for the car, which will ultimately help lower costs. Delphi estimates it will cost around $5,000 to make a vehicle almost fully autonomous by 2019.

Almost half of all eight year olds and a third of children aged five have fillings or teeth missing because of tooth decay. Furthermore in 2013, 46 per cent of 15 year olds and 34 per cent of 12 year olds had 'obvious decay' in their permanent teeth. While high those figures do represent a slight reduction over the course of a decade, when the comparable figures were 56 per cent and 43 per cent respectively. The latest figures, published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, reveals children are so embarrassed by their rotting teeth that they try to avoid smiling or laughing. Scroll down for video . The Child Dental Health Survey has revealed almost half of all eight year olds and a third of children aged five have fillings or teeth missing because of tooth decay . Various levels of decay affect different parts of the tooth, the initial stages wearing away at the enamel, while more serious forms attack the dentine and pulp, pictured . The survey of more than 13,500 children and nearly 10,000 dental examinations found dental decay was most pronounced in lower income families - where children are eligible for free school meals. Of those a sample size of 9,866 were surveyed and underwent an examination. Around 40 per cent of five year olds from more deprived families had tooth decay, compared with 29 per cent from less deprived families. In addition, 59 per cent of 15 year olds from deprived families had tooth decay, compared with 43 per cent from better off families. Meanwhile Northern Ireland is uncovered as the childhood tooth decay capital of the UK, with 72 per cent of 15 year olds suffering oral disease. In England that figure is 44 per cent, and Wales it is 63 per cent. But while remaining high, the levels have fallen since 2003 when the comparable figures were 78 per cent, 55 per cent and 65 per cent, respectively. The Child Dental Health Survey reveals a promising trend, experts said, with the extend and severity of tooth decay in permanent teeth of children aged 12 and 15 falling. The Child Dental Health Survey examined the prevalence, severity and extent of dental caries, also known as tooth decay. Each tooth is classified based on how decayed it is. Three components qualify as different levels of decay. They are: . But they warned large swathes of the childhood population 'continue to be affected by disease, and the burden of disease is substantial in those children that have it'. Tooth decay was still found in 34 per cent of 12-year-olds (compared to 43 per cent in 2003) and 46 per cent of 15-year-olds (56 per cent in 2003). Just 38 per cent of children were classed as having good overall oral health, meaning they had no obvious decay, no tooth surface loss into the dentine, which is the layer under the tooth enamel, and no tartar. In July the HSCIC published figures that showed the number of admissions for dental problems, among five to nine year olds rose from 22,574 in 2010-11 to 25,812 in 2013-14. Acting chief dental officer for NHS England Serbjit Kaur said: 'These results are very encouraging and are a credit to the dental profession and all those who promote dental health. 'There have been significant reductions in the numbers of 12 and 15-year-olds with obvious decay in their adult teeth. 'Future progress requires further work on prevention and a joined-up approach to dental care and wider health and social care services for children, as set out in the Five Year Forward View.' The survey also highlighted how girls are better at brushing their teeth, with 69 per cent of boys aged 12 saying they brush at least twice a day, compared to 85 per cent of girls. Sugary drinks were also found to be a cause for concern, with 16 per cent of 12 year olds and 14 per cent of 15 year olds saying they drink the beverages at least four times a day. The 2013 survey is the fifth in a series of national children's dental health surveys that have been carried out every ten years since 1973, focusing on the dental health of five, eight, 12 and 15 year olds in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Dr Sandra White, director of dental public health at Public Health England (PHE), said: 'PHE welcomes the overall fall in tooth decay levels and the fact that more and more children are brushing their teeth twice a day and regularly visiting the dentist. The diagram above reveals the various stages of tooth decay. The survey found in 2013, 46 per cent of 15 year olds and 34 per cent of 12 year olds had 'obvious decay' in their permanent teeth . Girls were found to be better at brushing their teeth, with 69 per cent of boys aged 12 saying they brush at least twice a day, compared to 85 per cent of girls . 'However, children from low-income families are twice as likely to have tooth decay, which is not only painful but can require hospital treatment and also affects their confidence and self-esteem, so there is no room for complacency. 'Tooth decay is a serious, preventable disease and this survey echoes the need to urgently reduce the amount of sugary snacks and drinks in our children's diets.' Anna Bradley, chair of Healthwatch England, said: 'Tooth decay is preventable as long as parents have the right information about and access to NHS dentists. 'Yet we know from local Healthwatch research into dentist access that some parents can't find a dentist who will treat their children on the NHS and others don’t know when to take their child to the dentist. 'It seems that, as a result, children with tooth decay are increasingly needing emergency dental treatments in hospital. 'Last year alone 26,000 five-nine year olds required emergency dental surgery. 'It’s crucial that information about which dentists are available to NHS patients is up-to-date and there is good information for parents about how to care for their children's teeth. 'This means decay can be prevented and there is no need resort to emergency A&E treatments when decay has already set in.'

Brett Pitman bagged a first-half hat-trick as Bournemouth coasted past Blackpool 4-0 to return to the top of the Championship. The Cherries were in cruise control at the Goldsands as they secured their third straight victory which condemned the Tangerines to a fifth consecutive defeat. Basement side Blackpool came in search of their first win in eight matches but any hopes were dashed after just 10 minutes. Brett Pitman fires Bournemouth into the lead at Goldsands as he scored a first-half hat-trick on Saturday . BOURNEMOUTH (4-4-2): Boruc; Francis, Elphick (Stanislas 63), Cook, Daniels; Ritchie, MacDonald, Surman, Pugh (Smith 62); Pitman, Wilson (Rantie 79) Subs not used: Camp, Rantie, Fraser, Ward, O'Kane .

Referee: Chris Sarginson . Attendance: 10,013 . Jersey-born striker Pitman was afforded time and space to run past a sea of Tangerine players before slotting past goalkeeper Elliot Parish. Pitman turned down Blackpool in favour of a move to Bristol City in 2010 and ensured the Seasiders - without an away win all season - had another miserable trip home. Blackpool's first attack on Artur Boruc's goal came after 22 minutes when debutant Michael Jacobs won his side a corner which came to nothing. Bournemouth captain Tommy Elphick could have doubled his side's lead after 28 minutes but he headed over from a Matt Ritchie free-kick. Tangerines supporters jeered their side and chairman Karl Oyston throughout and had only Andrea Orlandi's wayward effort to get excited about. Pitman (centre) runs away in celebration as the Blackpool players watch on in frustration at Goldsands . He scooped over after Nathan Delfouneso backheeled for the Seasiders skipper after 31 minutes. A minute later Tom Aldred cleared the ball after Ritchie had teed up Pitman inside the box. But Pitman was not kept at bay long and scored two goals in two minutes to complete his hat-trick inside 39 minutes. The Cherries striker first headed back across goal from a Ritchie cross before drilling low past Parish from a free-kick routine. Eddie Howe's side continued their dominance in the second period as they found the net once more four minutes into the second-half. Blackpool midfielder Orlandi tripped winger Marc Pugh in the box and Callum Wilson scored his 19th of the season from the resulting spot-kick. Blackpool manager Lee Clark instructs his side during the comprehensive 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth . Ritchie easily evaded Tangerines defender Charles Dunne before finding Pitman once more who skewed over on 59 minutes. Bournemouth were in total control and manager Howe even opted to withdraw skipper Elphick after just an hour as the Cherries began to ease off. Substitutes Junior Stanislas and Adam Smith did combine with the latter's effort forcing Parish into a smart save with 15 minutes to go. Smith then ran past Dunne before the legs of Parish kept out his effort. The Tangerines are the lowest scorers in the division and failed to register a single shot on target at the Goldsands. Blackpool striker Delfouneso went closest when he headed wide on 78 minutes after Orlandi whipped in a free-kick. The Cherries won 6-1 away at Blackpool in December and almost echoed that goal haul when Stanislas and Pitman both went close in the final minutes before Blackpool defender Aldred blazed over his stoppage-time effort.

27-year-old scored a first-half hat-trick to put 3-0 up at the break . Callum added a fourth to put Eddie Howe's side top of the Championship . Watford and Middlesbrough are also on 69 points with the Cherries . Blackpool remain at the foot of the Championship table .

Lindsey Vonn won the World Cup downhill title for the seventh time after winning the last race in the discipline on Wednesday at the season-ending finals. Her seven downhill titles and her 18th crystal globe are both records for women. 'It's incredible after being out with two knee operations. It is just amazing to be sitting where I am today,' the American said. 'I'm so proud and happy, and I really have to thank the people that supported me and got me back to where I am now.' Lindsey Vonn won her seventh downhill title by pipping Elisabeth Goergl to the finish line . Vonn is delighted to be competing for major honours after undergoing two knee operations . Vonn finished 0.24 seconds ahead of Elisabeth Goergl and 0.30 ahead of Nicole Hosp. Austrian racer Anna Fenninger finished second in the downhill standings. She trailed Vonn by 35 points heading into the race, and failed to make an impact on the Roc de Fer course, finishing nearly one second behind Vonn in eighth place. Vonn, who raced immediately after her, increased her speed on the bottom section to clinch a 66th career race win. She is the all-time leader in wins. Some fans near the finish held up banners saying 'Congrats Lindsey' as she raised her poles. Vonn finished the downhill season with 502 points, putting her 103 ahead of Fenninger. Tina Maze of Slovenia was third with 356. In the race for the women's overall World Cup title, Fenninger holds a 12-point lead over Maze. Vonn finished ahead of second-placed Anna Fenninger to win the downhill globe . Maze gained some ground on Fenninger by finishing fourth on Wednesday. Vonn, a four-time overall World Cup champion, is out of contention for the overall title this season. Vonn blew out her right knee in a super-G at the 2013 world championships in Schladming, Austria. She hurt her knee again in her comeback, keeping her out of last year's Sochi Olympics. She went nearly two years without a victory before winning a downhill in Lake Louise, Canada, in December. The following month, she overtook Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proell's 35-year-old record of 62 World Cup victories. 'I'm incredibly thankful to be holding another downhill title,' Vonn said. 'It's been a long two years coming back from my injuries.' Vonn looks extremely focused as she speeds down the course during the alpine ski . Vonn will battle with Fenninger again on Thursday when the super-G title will be decided. Vonn is eight points ahead of Fenninger. 'Tomorrow is a chance for another globe. It's going to be tough because Anna's skiing really well, and it's going to be soft conditions like it was today,' Vonn said. 'But something about this track suits me. I'll give my all, as I always do.' Fenninger has been in great form, winning gold medals in giant slalom and super-G at the world championships last month, and placing second in downhill behind Maze, who finished second to Fenninger in super-G at the worlds. Also, Kjetil Jansrud clinched the men's downhill title by winning the last race, too. The Norwegian finished 94 points ahead of Hannes Reichelt of Austria.

(CNN)Students en route to Yangon, Myanmar, to protest an education bill were met with violence from police Tuesday, according to multiple media reports and international watch groups. "We all watched while a young man was beaten extremely hard and repeatedly by about three or four policemen in heavy riot gear," U Zarni, a spokesman for the Cooperative Committee for Trade Unions, told CNN. Students are seeking changes to an education bill that they say limits academic freedom and have been in negotiations with authorities, but these have been curbed because of the crackdown. The violence Tuesday occurred in Letpadan, a town of about 145 kilometers (90 miles) north of Yangon, the nation's largest city. The students' march began in Mandalay, about 640 kilometers (400 miles) north of Yangon. Zarni said the students had been "given the red light" on proceeding to Yangon. "They had decided they would drive into the city, meet with other students there for 15 minutes of talks and then disperse," Zarni said. "But within about an hour of being given this information, they were told that wasn't the case." "Some students decided they would try, thinking the police would just take them away, but the police were so brutal." Police arrested about 40 to 50 people, according to Zarni. "They broke a reporter's camera and cheered about it. They hit women. They hit monks who were also there. They went into the monastery and detained everyone who had run to hide in there," Zarni said. Human rights issues have been at the forefront in Myanmar, also known as Burma, as the country emerges from decades of authoritarian military rule, with elections planned for late this year. "The public and we are losing confidence in the democratic transitions," Zarni said. Khin Lay, director of the Triangle Women Support Group, agreed. "Students, human rights, women's rights -- we're all extremely angry about the way we have been treated over the years," said Lay. "But we've been waiting for the 2015 elections with patience because we believe in the democracy movement, and we're hoping that we have the opportunity to exercise our right to vote. So they should show us some respect, too."

Arsene Wenger is facing another midfield injury headache after Francis Coquelin suffered a broken nose on Sunday. The Frenchman will discover today whether he needs surgery after he was injured in a nasty collision with team-mate Olivier Giroud before taking another blow in the closing stages. Should he need an operation, Coquelin could expect a prolonged period on the sidelines, but even if a procedure isn't required the midfielder is a doubt for Wednesday's trip to Queens Park Rangers. Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin broke his nose after two knocks to the face on Sunday against Everton . After a lengthy stoppage out, Coquelin was allowed to return the field of play having received treatment . This clash of heads in the second-half left Coquelin with bloody gushing out of his nose . Arsenal are already without key central midfielders Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere, while Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini, who didn't feature on the bench yesterday, only returned to training at the end of last week. 'Yes, Coquelin has broken his nose. If he needs surgery or not I don't know,' said Wenger. Coquelin needed lengthy treatment following the clash of heads in the 67th minute but played on until the 89th when he was hauled off after taking a second blow as he went up for a header with Steven Naismith. Coquelin is evidently in pain on the ground after a collision with Giroud broke his nose at the Emirates . And Wenger revealed it was the 23-year-old's decision to continue playing. 'After he took a hit on it again I had to take him off,' Wenger added. 'I had been told by medical people he could stay on and he wanted to stay on.' Arsenal keeper David Ospina made three excellent saves to shut out Everton and manager Roberto Martinez said: 'I felt we were the ones creating the chances and when you create them you need to take them.'

A father was found slumped over his steering wheel unconscious after overdosing on heroin while driving his two young children and wife on a highway. Larry Messer, 39, of Harrison, Ohio admitted to injecting himself with heroin before driving onto Interstate 74 on Saturday with his two kids, aged seven months and two, who were seated in the back seat. After he passed out, his wife, who has not been named, had to grab the steering wheel bringing the car to a stop on the side of the road, according to court documents. During an inventory search of the car, police found numerous meth pipes, a spoon, hypodermic needles and a loaded syringe filled with heroin as identified by Messer, according to WCPO. Larry Messer (above), 39, admitted to injecting himself with heroin before driving onto Interstate 74 on Saturday with his two kids, aged seven months and two, who were seated in the back seat . When officers approached the car, they said they saw a woman who appeared visibly upset standing outside of it and Messer passed out in the driver seat. After they realized he appeared to have overdosed on heroin, they contacted paramedics who gave him Narcan, which is an antidote for opiate overdoses, which helped revive him, according to WSMV. Messer has been charged with two counts of child endangering, possessing drug abuse instruments and illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia. He is currently being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center and is set to appear in court on Monday. After Messer injected himself with heroin and lost consciousness on the interstate, his wife, who has not been named, had to grab the steering wheel bringing the car to a stop on the side of the road (above Interstate 74 where the incident occurred on Saturday)

(CNN)The only thing crazier than a guy in snowbound Massachusetts boxing up the powdery white stuff and offering it for sale online? People are actually buying it. For $89, self-styled entrepreneur Kyle Waring will ship you 6 pounds of Boston-area snow in an insulated Styrofoam box -- enough for 10 to 15 snowballs, he says. But not if you live in New England or surrounding states. "We will not ship snow to any states in the northeast!" says Waring's website, ShipSnowYo.com. "We're in the business of expunging snow!" His website and social media accounts claim to have filled more than 133 orders for snow -- more than 30 on Tuesday alone, his busiest day yet. With more than 45 total inches, Boston has set a record this winter for the snowiest month in its history. Most residents see the huge piles of snow choking their yards and sidewalks as a nuisance, but Waring saw an opportunity. According to Boston.com, it all started a few weeks ago, when Waring and his wife were shoveling deep snow from their yard in Manchester-by-the-Sea, a coastal suburb north of Boston. He joked about shipping the stuff to friends and family in warmer states, and an idea was born. His business slogan: "Our nightmare is your dream!" At first, ShipSnowYo sold snow packed into empty 16.9-ounce water bottles for $19.99, but the snow usually melted before it reached its destination. So this week, Waring began shipping larger amounts in the Styrofoam cubes, which he promises will arrive anywhere in the U.S. in less than 20 hours. He also has begun selling a 10-pound box of snow for $119. Many of his customers appear to be companies in warm-weather states who are buying the snow as a gag, he said. Whether Waring can sustain his gimmicky venture into the spring remains to be seen. But he has no shortage of product. "At this rate, it's going to be July until the snow melts," he told Boston.com. "But I've thought about taking this idea and running with it for other seasonal items. Maybe I'll ship some fall foliage."

Roughly 70 percent of strawberries grown in Australia are being treated with a pesticide that is supposed to have been banned across the world because it depletes the ozone layer. Nine strawberry growers in Victoria's Yarra Valley are still using methyl bromide to fumigate crops, despite it being banned by the United Nations Montreal Protocol more than two decades ago, the ABC reports. The odourless gas was meant to have been phased out in Australia by 2005. Roughly 70 percent of strawberries grown in Australia are being treated with a pesticide that is supposed to have been banned across the world because it depletes the ozone layer . But the Victorian growers, who produce 100 million strawberry runners a year, are still using almost 30 tonnes of the pesticide annually. They claim alternatives would drive business into the ground and cost 15,000 jobs, so they regularly apply for a critical use exemption from the United Nations. Methyl bromide, an odourless and colouless gas, was banned because it depletes the ozone layer . 'Internationally, we've gotten rid of 85 per cent of methyl bromide, and it's a great win for mankind — in fact it's the best environmental gain that's been made,' Dr Ian Porter, UN Methyl Bromide Technical Options committee's co-chair, told the ABC. 'It's frustrating ... but we don't want industries to fall over economically or technically. We don't want more disease or pests in Australia.' Growers suggest their costs could soar by 500 percent if they were to stop using the pesticide, which could see a punnet of strawberries soar to more than $10. The Victorian farms still using methyl bromide - who are part of the Toolangi Certified Strawberry Runner Growers' Cooperative - said the industry had spent $700,000 on research to find alternatives to the pesticide. 'The soils at Toolangi are clays with high organic matter, and alternative treatments used in other parts of Australia do not work well in these conditions, especially in cold temperatures,' they said. They said banning it would mean consumers have less availability to strawberries and more berries would be imported - implying the health standards may not be the same as in Australia.

A Virginia teenager was arrested Friday for helping a man travel to Syria in order to join ISIS forces, according to a report. The 17-year-old was taken into custody during an FBI raid on the teen's home in Woodbridge, neighbors said. The Washington Post reports that the boy, who is a student at Osbourn Park High School in nearby Manassas, is being charged as a juvenile, although officials are working to try him as an adult. High schooler: FBI officials arrested a 17-year-old in connection with a man who traveled to Syria and joined up with ISIS . According to officials whose names were withheld by the paper, the teenager allegedly used online contacts to help another slightly older man travel to Syria and link up with ISIS. Officials said they conducted surveillance on the home for about a month before the teenager's arrest. The man who traveled to Syria is expected to face charges, according to officials, who also looked into another 17-year-old student at Osbourn Park, before judging him to have played a much smaller role. A neighbor said that FBI officials knocked on the front and back doors of the home before someone inside opened up. The boy was later led out in handcuffs, with the officials also carrying a computer and other electronic equipment, the neighbor said. Though she did not give her name, the neighbor said that the boy had attended middle school with her daughter and that in spite of spending most his time in the home, remarked the boy seemed like a typical teenager. Drawn to extremism: The man helped by the teenager in Woodbridge successfully reached Syria through contacts overseas to join up with ISIS (file photo) The boy's alleged online ties to individuals close to the Islamist extremist group surprised some who knew him as a smart young man interested in business and technology. 'He was a brilliant kid,' said Dustin O’Bryant, who hired the teenager to write for his site Coin Brief. 'His English wasn’t perfect, but I was willing to overlook that because the content was great.' O'Bryant said he hired the teenager for the site, which covers BitCoin and other digital currencies, after being impressed by a chemistry paper the boy wrote. He 'had a really strong understanding of the technology behind digital currency in general and even more advanced systems,' O'Bryant said. BuzzFeed reports that the teenager had not communicated with O'Bryant, who lives in Alabama, since February, when he told him he was going through personal issues. 'He in no way came across as any sort of extremist,' O'Bryant said. 'My hope is that there was some kind of misunderstanding, that he didn’t know who he was helping.'

A massive operation involving 30,000 members of the Iraqi military is succeeding in forcing Islamic State militants to withdraw from the strategic city of Tikrit, army generals have claimed. Thousands of soldiers and government-backed Shi'ite militias already claim to have killed ISIS' second in command in the city, which is the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The anti-ISIS advance has been slowed by numerous roadside bombs however, leading to fierce clashes outside the town of al-Dour, south of Tikrit. Retaking the ISIS stronghold is considered vital if government forces are to succeed in their plan to force ISIS out of the oil rich city of Mosul, the terror group's Iraqi power base which lies just 140 miles north of Tikrit on Highway 1 - a road that effectively marks the front line in northern Iraq.

Iraqi warplanes and artillery began pounding Tikrit yesterday as 30,000 troops and irregulars prepared to attack the city. The operation in the birthplace of former dictator Saddam Hussein was announced on Sunday by Iraq's prime minister, who urged soldiers and government-backed Shi'ite militias to spare civilians. Speaking from Samarra, the other main city in Salaheddin province, Haider al-Abadi appeared to be addressing fears of reprisals against Tikrit's mainly Sunni population. The Iraqi regime forces have yet to enter Tikrit or the nearby Tigris river town of al-Dour, which officials describe as a major centre for the Islamic State fighters. On the southern flank of the offensive, army and police officials said government forces moving north from the city of Samarra could launch an attack on al-Dour later on Tuesday. Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, who has helped coordinate Baghdad's counter-attacks against Islamic State since it seized much of northern Iraq in June, was overseeing at least part of the operation, witnesses told Reuters. His presence on the frontline highlights neighbouring Iran's influence over the Shi'ite fighters who have been key to containing the militants in Iraq.

In contrast the US-led air coalition which has been attacking Islamic State across Iraq and Syria has not yet played a role in Tikrit, the Pentagon said on Monday, perhaps in part because of the high-level Iranian presence. Soleimani, head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, was directing operations on the eastern flank from a village about 55 km (35 miles) from Tikrit called Albu Rayash, captured from Islamic State two days ago. With him were two Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitary leaders: the leader of the Hashid Shaabi, Abu Mahdi al-Mohandis, and Hadi al-Amiri who leads the Badr Organisation, a powerful Shi'ite militia.

Ian Paterson was suspended after he performed hundreds of unnecessary partial mastectomies . Hundreds of victims of a breast surgeon who carried out botched operations may never receive compensation because of a loophole in his insurance policy. Ian Paterson was suspended after he performed hundreds of unnecessary partial mastectomies on at least 250 healthy women over a 15-year period. An independent review revealed the 57-year-old also carried out 'cleavage sparing' mastectomies on at least 450 other women, in which breast tissue was left. Paterson pioneered the operations on women, leaving part of their breast behind solely for cosmetic reasons - dramatically increasing the risk of their cancer returning. More than 700 patients were recalled by the hospitals where Paterson worked, as part of the review overseen by Sir Ian Kennedy. The surgeon worked at both NHS and private hospitals across the Midlands from 1994, until he was suspended in 2012. While Paterson's NHS patients are able to pursue compensation claims through the health service's channels, it is the surgeon's private patients that are facing being left with nowhere to turn. Those who went under the knife at Spire Hospitals in Little Aston and Solihull may miss out on the compensation their lawyers say they are entitled to. Surgeons who work in private hospitals have to take out their own insurance to cover themselves against medical negligence claims. However Paterson's insurance company, the Medical Defence Union (MDU), is disputing the compensation claims. It is doing so on the basis that some of the operations carried out may have been illegal and are not included in Paterson's cover. Louise Hawkley, a medical negligence lawyer at Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, is representing patients treated by Paterson at the Spire Hospitals. She said: 'The insurance company will usually be liable for any claims made for clinical negligence and, if compensation is awarded, this will be due from the insurer under the terms of the policy. 'Mr Paterson took out insurance with the Medical Defence Union (MDU). 'However, the MDU has confirmed it is not instructed by Mr Paterson, not authorised to accept service of any proceedings and that Irwin Mitchell's clients "should have no expectation of any continuing MDU involvement in this matter". 'MDU cover is discretionary and may legitimately be withdrawn if a surgeon's practice falls outside of the insurance terms. One of the victims who is facing losing out on compensation is Jade Edgington, 24, who underwent unnecessary surgery to remove non-cancerous lumps from her breasts. Miss Edgington, from Shirley, in the West Midlands, was 16 when she discovered a large lump in her left breast. Thanks to her father's Bupa medical insurance, was seen almost immediately by Paterson in October 2005. After an ultrasound, Paterson told the then teenager she had a lump 'the size of a golf ball' in her breast and it needed to be removed. Just over a year later, in December 2006, Jade discovered another smaller lump in her right breast. Paterson removed it a month later, reassuring her that the lumps were nothing to worry about. She went back to him again in April 2007 after discovering another small lump, this time in her left breast, and again Paterson cut it out. Finally, in April 2009, she discovered a small lump in the scar left behind from the first operation in her left breast. Former patients of Ian Paterson's, Jade Edgington, 24, left, and Julie Robinson, right, face missing out on compensation despite having had unnecessary operations at the hands of the breast surgeon . Paterson told her it was a 'stitch granuloma' - harmless cells around the wound site - but he removed it anyway. Finally in November 2011, Miss Edgington was told the operations had been unnecessary. Shockingly, because the operations were carried out a private hospital, Miss Edgington is unlikely to receive any compensation, despite lawyers advising she could expect up to £50,000. She said: 'I thought he was lovely. He was charismatic and confident. He put me and my parents at ease. 'Apparently, he should have performed a fine needle laparoscopy on the lump to see if it was cancerous before deciding whether to remove it, but when a surgeon says you need an operation, you don't question it. 'Dad said: "Jade, if the surgeon says you've got to have it out, you've got to have it out". He feels terribly guilty now, but every parent would say the same. 'I feel furious that because of a loophole, hundreds of potential victims might not get any compensation. 'It adds insult to injury and he's basically been allowed to get away with ruining people's lives.' She added: 'No amount of money will make up for what I went through but it would help me rebuild my life and is recognition of what this man (Paterson) did to me and hundreds of others.' Victim Julie Robinson, 54, had an unnecessary lumpectomy at Little Aston Hospital in June 2005 and also faces missing out on compensation. The mother-of-two, from Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands, said: 'I feel betrayed. It was so shocking, that someone could do something to violate you when you are at your most vulnerable. 'It feels very unjust that we are not able to take things forward and he's getting away with it. He should be made to pay. 'It seems shocking that there isn't the same rules of cover for private patients as NHS patients. 'It shouldn't matter - if a doctor is negligent he should be held accountable.' 'This is a unique situation, where a private surgeon's practices fall outside of their insurance cover, and there is no safety net for patients.' Ms Hawkley said her clients believed they would receive 'greater care and treatment' by choosing to have their operations at a private hospital. 'Many clients started out in the NHS and paid privately to see Mr Paterson to expedite their treatment,' she said. 'Our clients are aggrieved that they actually paid to undergo negligent treatment and, now that the negligence is known, they may have no recourse against Mr Paterson, his insurer, or the hospital where they received that treatment.' A cleavage sparing mastectomy involved leaving behind some breast tissue to provide an improved cleavage for the patient. But it breached national guidelines, which state that leaving tissue after a mastectomy increases the chances of cancer recurring - especially if the remaining breast tissue does not receive radiotherapy. This is because a significant proportion of breast tissue is deliberately left by the surgeon in the inner aspect of the breast in order to give the patient breast cleavage - even in women not undergoing immediate reconstruction. The technique is different to the widely-used skin sparing mastectomy, where the surgeon leaves behind an envelope of skin to improve the appearance of breast reconstruction. She added: 'This is a deeply unfair set of circumstances whereby Mr Paterson's patients who received treatment in the NHS are rightly receiving the compensation which they are due, but the patients who opted to pay privately may be left out of pocket for the treatment itself and without any compensation for negligent injuries identical to those suffered by Mr Paterson's patients in the NHS. 'It is distressing both to Mr Paterson's private patients, and professionally as a medical negligence lawyer, that it is legitimate and accepted for insurance cover to be suspended and/or withdrawn on a discretionary basis, affording no obvious recourse to private patients.' Paterson worked at NHS and private hospitals across the Midlands from 1994 until he was suspended last year. He was employed by Heart of England in March 1998, having been suspended by another trust. Colleagues became concerned that he was not removing enough tissue during mastectomies and two investigations were carried out, in 2003 and 2004. Although a number of recommendations were made about his surgery, nothing was done to stop him. Fears raised by a surgeon in 2007 were not properly acted upon. Paterson was told to stop cleavage-sparing operations but continued until as late as 2011. Paterson was suspended by the trust in May 2011 but his pay was not stopped for 18 months. In July 2013, Paterson and his physiotherapist wife Louise, 53, sold their £1.25 million Grade II listed, eight-bedroom, four reception Georgian home in Edgbaston, Birmingham. West Midlands Police confirmed the 'long and complex' investigation into Mr Paterson was still ongoing, but that they had no current updates on the case.

<s>[INST] Ian Paterson was suspended after he performed hundreds of unnecessary partial mastectomies . Hundreds of victims of a breast surgeon who carried out botched operations may never receive compensation because of a loophole in his insurance policy. Ian Paterson was suspended after he performed hundreds of unnecessary partial mastectomies on at least 250 healthy women over a 15-year period. An independent review revealed the 57-year-old also carried out 'cleavage sparing' mastectomies on at least 450 other women, in which breast tissue was left. Paterson pioneered the operations on women, leaving part of their breast behind solely for cosmetic reasons - dramatically increasing the risk of their cancer returning. More than 700 patients were recalled by the hospitals where Paterson worked, as part of the review overseen by Sir Ian Kennedy. The surgeon worked at both NHS and private hospitals across the Midlands from 1994, until he was suspended in 2012. While Paterson's NHS patients are able to pursue compensation claims through the health service's channels, it is the surgeon's private patients that are facing being left with nowhere to turn. Those who went under the knife at Spire Hospitals in Little Aston and Solihull may miss out on the compensation their lawyers say they are entitled to. Surgeons who work in private hospitals have to take out their own insurance to cover themselves against medical negligence claims. However Paterson's insurance company, the Medical Defence Union (MDU), is disputing the compensation claims. It is doing so on the basis that some of the operations carried out may have been illegal and are not included in Paterson's cover. Louise Hawkley, a medical negligence lawyer at Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, is representing patients treated by Paterson at the Spire Hospitals. She said: 'The insurance company will usually be liable for any claims made for clinical negligence and, if compensation is awarded, this will be due from the insurer under the terms of the policy. 'Mr Paterson took out insurance with the Medical Defence Union (MDU). 'However, the MDU has confirmed it is not instructed by Mr Paterson, not authorised to accept service of any proceedings and that Irwin Mitchell's clients "should have no expectation of any continuing MDU involvement in this matter". 'MDU cover is discretionary and may legitimately be withdrawn if a surgeon's practice falls outside of the insurance terms. One of the victims who is facing losing out on compensation is Jade Edgington, 24, who underwent unnecessary surgery to remove non-cancerous lumps from her breasts. Miss Edgington, from Shirley, in the West Midlands, was 16 when she discovered a large lump in her left breast. Thanks to her father's Bupa medical insurance, was seen almost immediately by Paterson in October 2005. After an ultrasound, Paterson told the then teenager she had a lump 'the size of a golf ball' in her breast and it needed to be removed. Just over a year later, in December 2006, Jade discovered another smaller lump in her right breast. Paterson removed it a month later, reassuring her that the lumps were nothing to worry about. She went back to him again in April 2007 after discovering another small lump, this time in her left breast, and again Paterson cut it out. Finally, in April 2009, she discovered a small lump in the scar left behind from the first operation in her left breast. Former patients of Ian Paterson's, Jade Edgington, 24, left, and Julie Robinson, right, face missing out on compensation despite having had unnecessary operations at the hands of the breast surgeon . Paterson told her it was a 'stitch granuloma' - harmless cells around the wound site - but he removed it anyway. Finally in November 2011, Miss Edgington was told the operations had been unnecessary. Shockingly, because the operations were carried out a private hospital, Miss Edgington is unlikely to receive any compensation, despite lawyers advising she could expect up to £50,000. She said: 'I thought he was lovely. He was charismatic and confident. He put me and my parents at ease. 'Apparently, he should have performed a fine needle laparoscopy on the lump to see if it was cancerous before deciding whether to remove it, but when a surgeon says you need an operation, you don't question it. 'Dad said: "Jade, if the surgeon says you've got to have it out, you've got to have it out". He feels terribly guilty now, but every parent would say the same. 'I feel furious that because of a loophole, hundreds of potential victims might not get any compensation. 'It adds insult to injury and he's basically been allowed to get away with ruining people's lives.' She added: 'No amount of money will make up for what I went through but it would help me rebuild my life and is recognition of what this man (Paterson) did to me and hundreds of others.' Victim Julie Robinson, 54, had an unnecessary lumpectomy at Little Aston Hospital in June 2005 and also faces missing out on compensation. The mother-of-two, from Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands, said: 'I feel betrayed. It was so shocking, that someone could do something to violate you when you are at your most vulnerable. 'It feels very unjust that we are not able to take things forward and he's getting away with it. He should be made to pay. 'It seems shocking that there isn't the same rules of cover for private patients as NHS patients. 'It shouldn't matter - if a doctor is negligent he should be held accountable.' 'This is a unique situation, where a private surgeon's practices fall outside of their insurance cover, and there is no safety net for patients.' Ms Hawkley said her clients believed they would receive 'greater care and treatment' by choosing to have their operations at a private hospital. 'Many clients started out in the NHS and paid privately to see Mr Paterson to expedite their treatment,' she said. 'Our clients are aggrieved that they actually paid to undergo negligent treatment and, now that the negligence is known, they may have no recourse against Mr Paterson, his insurer, or the hospital where they received that treatment.'

Now it’s not often that I can claim to be ahead of a fashion trend. But a few weeks ago I was invited to a photoshoot to give my verdict on a new range of suede clothing — apparently, the must-have fabric this season, as we experience a Seventies revival. As someone who remembers the Seventies all too clearly, and who boldly wore some of its more questionable offerings the first time round, I was interested to see how I felt about it now. I didn’t know I was about to try out a garment that has since fuelled a major fashion debate and divided Britain’s women, who, it seems, all have an opinion on that skirt, as it is now known. Scroll down for video . Jane Asher (pictured) was recently invited to a photoshoot to give her verdict on a new range of suede clothing, what she didn't realise was that the skirt she is pictured wearing would cause such a sensation . For the few who haven’t heard, I’m talking about the Marks & Spencer A-line suede skirt, which has been labelled: ‘The Skirt That Will Save M&S.’ Yet when I spotted it a few weeks ago, it was just one of several suede garments hanging on a rail, so I had the chance to judge it in an unbiased and objective way. And . . . I didn’t much like it. I found the suede stiff and heavy, and the colour and shape channelled the Seventies cowgirl look a little too closely for comfort. Some fashions are best left unrevisited and this length and shape of suede skirt seemed one of them. Soon after that, all hell broke loose as various fashionistas were spotted wearing the skirt. It was photographed on the lithe and youthful hips of people who know a lot more about fashion than me — first Alexa Chung, then socialite Olivia Palermo at New York Fashion Week, both of whom obviously liked it enough to happily endorse it. Vogue heralded it ‘pure Ali MacGraw chic’ in reference to the star of the Seventies film Love Story, and suddenly it was the next big thing. Alexa Chung (pictured) was spotted in the M&S skirt in February this year . Well, I can be as easily influenced as anyone, and a horrible guilt crept over me that I hadn’t spotted this as the wonder garment everyone else had. I wondered: should I rush out and grab one from M&S? Well, not much point, as it won’t be on sale to us ordinary punters until April 10. So, should I trust my first feeling that it wasn’t for me? After a bit of thought, I came full circle back to my original decision: I’m still not a fan. Yesterday, Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine was one of the first to shout ‘Emperor’s New Clothes!’ when she criticised M&S for its aggressive marketing of the skirt, which, she felt — correctly in my view — seemed to use a lot of energy that could have been better focused on producing affordable fashion that doesn’t follow any trend. ‘Just because a couple of Voguettes have given it their stamp of approval, we loyal M&S customers are meant to flock like good little style sheep to get our hands on one, too,’ she said. ‘Can’t M&S see how patronising this is?’ For this suede skirt didn’t work in the Seventies and it doesn’t really work now. When I was young, most suede skirts and jackets were stiff, unyielding garments produced in a gingery tan colour that didn’t flatter anyone — especially those of us with gingery, tan-coloured hair — and it often felt like wearing thick cardboard. Sadly, this reincarnation gave me flashbacks. The unsuppleness and heavy feel of the suede may mean it will last for ages, but you’ll know about it while you’re wearing it: the waistband is far from forgiving and I can’t imagine it will give much across the hips when you sit down, making it stick out unattractively in front. I’m not crazy about the mid-calf length, either. Unless you have the endless legs of a model, it’s hard to carry off. It would look better with boots, of course, but with spring already here I’m hoping those can be left in the wardrobe. And I can’t see how the white stitching on hips and tummy can be flattering. Sorry, M&S, I’m giving it just three out of five: wearable for a few outings, after which it would be confined to the back of my wardrobe, never to be worn again. A costly foray into a brief trend — something that, at my age, I have mostly learned to avoid. UPDATED CLASSIC .

My favourite: It’s an excellent price and a beautiful and flattering berry colour, which suits most skin tones. The suede is wonderfully supple and comfortable and fits well. It certainly doesn’t have the stiffness that some other suede garments have, and the just-above-the-knee length is elegant and suits the shape of the dress. Who would have thought I’d want to be back in a wrap dress again? I thought we were over those for some time. The fabric updates this classic look. I love it — especially the great price. 5/5 .

Deceptively simple, this little suede top just might be a really good investment as it’s extremely chic and wearable, whether teamed with tight Brand jeans or a smart skirt. I love the boxy on-trend cut and the sleeve length makes it suitable for any occasion, as well as being long enough to keep the spring chill off and hide any imperfections. This suede is so thin and soft it feels like silk, and I like the tunic slit at the top. 4/5 . MAKE A SPLASH . Another top scorer was this lilac suede dress.

Suede strappy sandals, £250, lkbennett.com . This fits so beautifully and skims fluidly over the body. Yes, it costs a lot, but it really does look expensive and the lilac is stunning and classy. The suede has an almost silky feel. I adored wearing this, but the danger of ruining it with smudges would make me wary of splashing out the serious cash. Remember that suede needs a lot more care than leather, tending to show rain spots and stains easily, and the soft top layer can wear off after a lot of use. It may be worth protecting expensive suede garments with a special spray, and they will also need expert cleaning. 4/5 .
