The distinctive head bop was still there and the white socks pulled up over the calves but plastered across her face was something we are not used to seeing during Paula Radcliffe’s races – a beaming smile. When she set the World Record of 2:15.25 in the London Marathon in April 2003 – a time no woman has threatened 12 years later – there was no grinning until after she crossed the line. Similarly in 2005 when she recorded her third and final victory over the 26.2mile course from Blackheath to The Mall, emotions were kept in check until the end.

The world record holder for 12 years, Radcliffe said the time was irrelevant in her final London Marathon . Radcliffe runs down The Mall hand-in-hand with a fellow runner as she takes in the atmosphere . But a time of 2:36.55 in her final competitive marathon is not to be sniffed at for a 41-year-old with a left foot as flexible as a rod of iron who described herself as ‘unfit and unprepared’ for the race. It is well inside 2:42.00, the IAAF qualifying standard for the Rio Olympics next summer. The British Athletics standards – which are likely to be sterner - have yet to be announced but it is immaterial as Radcliffe maintained this was it for her elite running career. ‘My body can’t train at this level any more,’ she said, ‘In Kenya [where she did a winter training camp] I pushed myself too hard and I broke down. I’m sure the magic of London helped me run faster than I would or should have been capable of.’ Radcliffe was due to give a BBC interview on Tower Bridge with Denise Lewis but the former heptathlete could not keep up. ‘She ran alongside me for a little bit but it was too loud and I didn’t want to stop because I was worried my foot wouldn’t be able to start again.’ Instead of running with the elite women, Radcliffe chose to take off with the 37,000-strong mass field .

Radcliffe was in nowhere near the condition she was in when she set the 26.2mile world record in 2003 . Radcliffe began strongly, running at 2:30.00 pace for the opening 10kilometres. ‘I ran the first mile in 5min30sec which was way too quick but every time someone shouted in the crowd it boosted me up again,’ said Radcliffe, . ‘I felt the achilles twinge at 7 miles then backed off. As much as my body wanted it to finish I didn’t want it to end.’ In the women’s elite race, the attention pre-race was centred on four Kenyan women but Tigist Tufa broke away from the pack to become only the third Ethiopian to win the London marathon, after Derata Tulu in 2001 and Aselefech Mergia in 2010. Tufa, who the bookmakers judged a 25/1 shot before the race, crossed the line in 2:23.22 with two-time winner Mary Keitany 18 seconds behind. Ethiopia’s Tirfi Tsegaye was third in 2:23.41. Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge, a World Champion over 5,000m, triumphed in the men’s race in 2:04.42, five seconds ahead of his compatriot Wilson Kipsang.

A young man whose former 26-stone bulk drove him to a suicide attempt has lost more than half his bodyweight and become a ripped gym instructor. Nathan Priestley, 21, from Norwich, Norfolk, was once dubbed ‘Jabba the Hutt’ by bullies and became so depressed over his size that he refused to leave his house for a year. He was just 18 when he took an overdose of 30 pills, but survived, ironically, because he hadn’t taken enough to defeat his massive frame. Scroll down for video . From bulk to hulk: Nathan Priestley, 21, from Norwich, Norfolk, pictured before (left) and after (right) his staggering weight loss, was once dubbed ‘Jabba the Hutt’ by bullies . Following his suicide attempt in September 2011, something snapped in Nathan and he made the decision to stop wallowing in self-pity and turn his life around. Within two years, he had shrunk to 14 stone. During the first year, he would only exercise in the dark from fear others would mock his efforts as he struggled to start shedding the pounds. Nathan ran the streets in the dead of night when no-one was around and turned off the lights so he could use a treadmill at his local gym unseen. After a year, Nathan started using weights to tone his slimmed-down figure, and was so successful he landed himself a job as a personal trainer. Nathan, now a trim 13 stone, said: 'I was always overweight as a kid and as I grew up the bullying contributed to that because I tended to comfort eat. 'Others would throw sweets at me when I was on the bus and call me "fatty", "fat mess" and "Jabba the Hutt". Transformation: Nathan's former 26-stone bulk (left) drove him to a suicide attempt when he was only 18, but he has since lost more than half his bodyweight and is now a ripped gym instructor (right) Following his suicide attempt, something snapped in Nathan, pictured before his weight loss, and he made the decision to stop wallowing in self-pity and turn his life around . During the first year, he would only exercise in the dark from fear others would mock his efforts as he struggled to start shedding the pounds . 'It was at that period in high school where I started to become really self-conscious about my weight. 'I didn’t leave the house for a year and the only time I would leave my room would be to go downstairs to get food.' Nathan added: 'My parents were really worried about me and tried to tell me to go and see somebody for help. 'After the failed suicide I realised that I needed to turn my life around and I started to diet. 'It was scary going outside and I was too afraid to leave the house because I thought people would be judging me. Before his lifestyle overhaul, Nathan was a sugar addict who gorged on bacon and egg butties, chocolate bars and greasy takeaways. He then went cold turkey and cut out junk food, chocolate, crisps and alcohol, and said he was left suffering from flu-like symptoms as a result. Nathan snacked on cashew nuts and went on a strict low-carb diet which helped him lose a stone a month for eight months. In progress: Nathan said, 'I never went to the gym at the beginning because I had no confidence, so for the first month it was purely diet' He added, 'When I did eventually start going to the gym, I used to run in a darkened room which was there for people with low self-esteem' 'I never went to the gym at the beginning because I had no confidence so for the first month it was purely diet. 'Then I would get up at three or four in the morning to go for a jog because I didn’t want anybody to see me. 'When I did eventually start going to the gym, I used to run in a darkened room which was there for people with low self-esteem.' By September 2013 - exactly two years after his suicide attempt - Nathan had dropped 14 stone, and has spent the last year dedicating his time to building the perfect body. Nathan now plans to enter body building competitions to showcase his transformation. Old ways: Before his lifestyle overhaul, Nathan was a sugar addict who gorged on bacon and egg butties, chocolate bars, alcohol and greasy takeaways, all of which he then quit cold turkey . 'I just want to show that it is possible to achieve what you want and it is never too late to get to where we want to be in life,' he said. 'I am so much happier now and my life at the moment has completely changed around from where it was three years ago.' He added: 'I am single but I do get attention from girls that I obviously wouldn't have got before. 'I want to show the people that bullied and harassed me that no matter how hard they beat me down, I will achieve more than them. 'If you’re unhappy with yourself, nothing is impossible and you should follow your dreams to become the absolute best version of yourself.' Reformed: By September 2013 - exactly two years after his suicide attempt - Nathan had dropped 13 stone, and has spent the last year dedicating his time to building the perfect body . Breakfast: Smoked salmon with egg and avocado . Lunch: Turkey salad . Snack: Cashew nuts or beef jerky . Dinner: Chicken and vegetables . Breakfast: Two bowls of cereal and a bacon and egg sandwich . Lunch: Takeaway burger or fish and chips . Snack: Crisps and a chocolate bar . Dinner: Healthy family cooked meal . Snack: Sainsbury’s meal deal .

Nathan Priestly, 21, slimmed from from 26 stone to 13 stone over two years . A failed suicide attempt at 18 was his catalyst for change . Nathan, from Norwich, traded alcohol and takeaways for the gym . He now wants to show his school bullies that he's defeated them .

(CNN)Last month Wu Rongrong was taken into custody for planning to protest on International Women's Day against sexual harassment in China. Since then, the Chinese authorities have formally detained her and four other activists for "creating disturbances." They also briefly detained some of the activists' supporters, raided a prominent nongovernmental organization that called for their release, and have at points denied some of the women access to medical treatment, lawyers and adequate rest. The fate of the five will be revealed by April 13, as their case reaches the legal time limit when they must either be released or "formally arrested," which almost always leads to conviction in China's legal system. The timing of the detentions of China's most inventive women's rights activists is ironic: Not only did they take place on the very day that marks women's achievements and their struggle for equality, but they also come in a year in which Beijing would have won praise for its role in promoting women's rights. It appears poised to adopt its first and long-awaited anti-domestic violence law, which is expected to get a reading before the National People's Congress Standing Committee this summer. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the influential Fourth World Conference on Women hosted in Beijing, during which Hillary Clinton famously declared that "women's rights are human rights." I first met Wu at a conference several years ago, at a time when there were very few women in China's weiquan or "rights defense" movement. It was common back then for male colleagues to publicly address them as "babes" or "little sisters," even in professional—and ostensibly progressive—settings. As women's rights activists, Wu and others fight on two fronts: against overt rights violations by the Chinese government and against the wider gender norms that relegate women to second-class citizens. By the time we met again two years later, Wu and her young "direct-action" feminist colleagues were clearly off and running. They staged small, public "performance art" protests that attracted media headlines, energized the more mainstream and academically inclined women's rights movement, and pushed women's rights into the national consciousness and onto the government's agenda. Wu had an upbringing typical of her times. She comes from the countryside, which for many has changed beyond recognition within their lifetimes. In recent decades the economy has soared, but her generation is confronting the unhappy consequences of unchecked growth: pollution, unsafe foods and growing inequality between rich and poor. Like many parents, she worries about how to find untainted milk powder for her infant boy, and whether to keep her child with her in the city or to send him to his grandparents in the countryside for a quieter, safer upbringing. Many in Wu and her colleagues' generation are clear-eyed about the problems of China's development model, and some want to address those. Wu joined Yirenping, a nonprofit organization that promotes social equality, whether it is between sexes or among people with and without disabilities, and later founded the women's rights organization Hangzhou Women Center. And it is in Yirenping that she became particularly attuned to the challenges confronting young women in modern China. Wu and her colleagues have used innovative tactics with a certain shock factor — "occupying" public toilets to show the need for more such conveniences for women, donning blood-spattered wedding gowns to protest domestic violence, shaving their heads to protest against barriers to higher education for women — that raises awareness of gender inequality in ways that resonate, especially with young women in the country. Perhaps this is what the government finds threatening: that these activists epitomize the spirit of the times. They are young, confident, ready to challenge established norms, and most importantly, they feel responsible for their society and they want to improve it. As China prepares to mark the anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in September, it will be harder for the authorities to justify detaining these activists. But even if they are released, their work promoting women's rights will have become exponentially more difficult. The women will now be labeled "sensitive" individuals at a time when the authorities are increasingly paranoid about independent groups, their role in fostering nonviolent protests and the overthrow of oppressive governments (known as "color revolutions"), and foreign funding of civil society organizations. What Wu and her colleagues are now enduring is consistent with a broader government effort to strangle independent activism. Authorities have harassed and detained an ever expanding list of activists, and imprisoned others, but they have also tried to co-opt some groups by allowing them to provide services the government finds acceptable, so long as they abandon their activism. This kind of "differentiated management" of nongovernmental organizations — punishing some but co-opting others — may work to neutralize some of the more outspoken groups. But ultimately the desires for change among ordinary people that make Wu and her friends' campaigns so popular are unlikely to be answered through "authoritarian activism" alone. The Chinese Communist Party now faces a dizzying array of challenges, not least that younger generations do not identify with the party or its values like past generations. Rather than lengthening its list of challenges, the party could resolve some and lessen concerns about its legitimacy by freeing and engaging activists like Wu and her colleagues, rather than treating them as criminals.

The ethnic minority population in Britain will more than double by the middle of this century, meaning one in four Britons will be from black or minority groups by 2051, research shows. The huge rise will be due to a baby boom among Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and African immigrants who usually come to this country during their young, child bearing years. Campaigners fear that this sudden increase will put pressure on housing, schools and the NHS, and worsen the quality of life in Britain as a whole. A baby boom among ethnic minorities in the UK will see numbers rocket by the middle of the century, according to new data, with a quarter of Britons coming from a minority background by 2051 . The research, carried out by Leeds University and reported in The Times, shows that overall, between 2011 and 2051, the UK's population will rise from 63.4 million to 77.4 million. While the number of white Britons will increase over that time, by almost three million, the minority population will increase more than three times faster, by 10 million. By the midpoint of the 21st century, minority ethnic communities will make up 24.3 per cent of the total population, compared with 12.8 per cent during the 2011 census. In contrast the proportion of whites will drop from 87.2 per cent in 2011 to 75.7 per cent in 2015. The sudden rise in the ethnic minority population marks an increase on predictions from the same university just five years ago. In an almost identical study, published in July 2010, professors at Leeds University predicted that ethnic minorities would make up around a fifth of the total population by 2051. In the same study they also predicted that British society would become much more integrated, with those from ethnic minorities moving into more affluent areas. Professor Philip Rees, who led the project, said: 'The ethnic makeup of UK's population is evolving significantly. 'Groups outside the White British majority are increasing in size and share, not just in the areas of initial migration, but throughout the country and our projections suggest that this trend is set to continue through to 2051. While the white British population will increase between now and 2051, the minority population will increase nearly three times as fast, meaning they will make up a greater share of the population . 'At a regional level, ethnic minorities will shift out of deprived inner city areas to more affluent areas, which echoes the way white groups have migrated in the past. 'In particular black and Asian populations in the least deprived local authorities will increase significantly.' The new research is likely to cause anxiety for those pushing for greater control of British borders, including an in-out referendum on the EU, or a renegotiation of the open borders treaty. While the Conservatives pledged at the last election to cut net migration from 'the hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands', it now stands at just under 300,000 per year. While Cameron has promised a renegotiation of EU laws if reelected, followed by a referendum, the Tory manifesto only contains an 'ambition' to cut current migration. While Ed Miliband has admitted that Tony Blair's Labour government made mistakes on immigration, he has also failed to commit to targets, though he has insisted that all new migrants should be able to speak English. Education Secretary Nicky Morgan also announced yesterday that her department is conducting a review into the pressures that migrants put on schools. That echoes the concerns of researchers such as David Coleman, professor of demography at Oxford University, who said: 'Money of the consequences of large-scale migration are damaging. 'We do not need up to 13 million more people by the mid century. Almost all that increase will be immigrants and their children. It will not make the UK a happier or richer place. 'Crowding and congestion will have entirely negative effects, increasing pressure on schools, hospitals and particularly housing.'

Fastest growing groups will be from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Africa . Minority population will increase three times faster than whites to 2051 . Between 2011 and 2051 total population will increase from 63.4m to 77.4m . Campaigners warn this will put strain on housing, schools and the NHS .

As the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kylie Jenner was bound to have a different upbringing to your average teen. Since Keeping Up With The Kardashians started in 2007, when Kylie was just nine years old, she has been one of the biggest tween stars - with a ticket to every A-List event in town. And as she teeters on the brink of adulthood, the reality star appears poised to overtake all of her siblings as the most talked about member of her famous family. Scroll down for videos .

The raven-haired teen stunned in her McQ Alexander McQueen black mesh dress which flashed a bit of skin with its sheer detailing. We bet that made Tyga roar in delight...

Visit site . Kylie had a relatively normal childhood until the age of nine, when the Kardashian family started to invite cameras into their home for the filming of their reality show. By 2012, when she was 14 years old, Kylie opted to leave Sierra Canyon School where she was a student and be home-tutoured through an at-home education programme. By the age of 17, Kylie already has several projects to her name, including two nail varnishes, a clothes collection, a show line and a range of accessories with her sister Kendall. But her extracurricular activities that grab the most attention are her choices in clothing, her rumoured boyfriend and the many provocative poses that she publishes on her Instagram account, which has more than 21 million followers. Kylie Jenner posted a series of pictures of herself in skimpy clothing during her trip to Coachella festival . Like all of Kris Jenner's daughters, Kylie has a deep interest in fashion, but her style is by far the most revealing of all of the family. The star is regularly photographed out and about in clothes that are instantly emulated by her legions of teen fans - her style is considered the edgiest of all her family. Kylie recently hinted that she had her nipples pierced in a post on Snapchat . While her sister Kendall is idolised for her supermodel looks, it is Kylie's edgy fashion sense that is most admired within her family and among their peers. At Coachella, Kylie paraded around the desert in a skimpy jumpsuit that gathered instant praise from young women and guaranteed that she stood out from the millions of copycat festival goers in boho-chic. On the same day, she posed up for pictures in a pair of granny pants and managed to achieve the impossible - making them look cool. Flashing the flesh is not something that fazes Kylie - she regularly uploads selfies of herself in a bikini for her many fans. Just last week, Kylie posted a picture on snapchat where she hinted at having her nipples pierced. In the photo Kylie had drawn red circles around where her nipples would be under her sweatshirt and captioned it: 'New jewelry in other secret areas.' Kylie and Kendall are part of the new breed of the Kardashian family - while Khloe, Kourtney and Kim embrace the polished body-con look, the two younger sisters are more in tune with the the grungy fashion of the last two years. While hints at nipple piercing might raise a few eyebrows in certain camps, it is this rebellious behaviour by Kylie that is keeping the family current for a younger generation - one that has little in common with Kim, who has now settled down and started a family. Momager Kris says that it's Kylie's unique style that sets her apart from the rest of the family and makes her appealing to fans. 'I realized two to three years ago, my older daughters were asking Kylie for fashion advice,' she said, adding that her influence can be seen in the family's Steve Madden fashion line.' Kylie's choice of attire regularly raises eyebrows but is adored by her legions of fans, who copy her every look . Kylie is very body confident and her Instagram page is full of selfies . Kris continued: 'Kylie decided she had this edgy style she wanted to bring to the table, and she wasn't satisfied going along with what Kendall wanted.' Kylie and Kendall both appeared on Time Magazine's 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 list, which listed among their achievements, that they had: 'hosted red carpet events, released clothing and nail polish lines and even published a dystopian young-adult novel.' Earlier this year it was also announced that Kylie would be releasing a clothing line at Topshop with her sister Kendall. But while Kylie's clothing draws a huge amount of attention, it is her knack with the make-up brush that has really racked up column inches for her over the last six months. Like many 17 year olds, Kylie spends a significant amount of time in front of the mirror practicing new make-up styles. Unlike Kylie though - they don't have the added benefit of regular sessions in a professional make-up artist's chair and endless expensive mascaras, blushers, lipsticks and foundations at her disposal. She has used this to her advantage and is widely considered among her family to be the expert at applying make-up. Kylie with her rumoured boyfriend Tyga,24 . Kylie is often targeted for the pictures she posts of herself with overly-plump lips . In fact, while the rest of her sisters get their faces professionally done before attending celebrity events, Kylie is the only one who does her own. Her sister Kim said: 'She's so good at makeup.' The main feature that has attracted so much attention are Kylie's lips, which she swells to three times their natural size by using expertly lining outside her lip line. Kylie told E! News: 'Everyone thinks I have one specific lip colour, but I have, like, 10 different nudes. 'I love lip liner and overlining my lips.' Always the sign of a trendsetter - this look has now turned into a trend, with young women across the US and Europe attempting to ape the look. Even the British supermodel Suki Waterhouse got in on the act by making over her sister Maddie using the Kylie tactic and posting the results on Instagram a few months ago. Kylie has grown up in the spotlight. Here she is pictured with her sister Kendall, mother Kris and father Bruce as a young girl . Kylie and Kendall are pictured out with their sister Kim in 2008 . After growing up in the spotlight, Kendall and Kylie both appear to have matured much faster than their three older half-sisters. For the last seven months, Kylie is reported to have been in a relationship with the American rapper Tyga, who shares a two year old with his ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna. The couple were first pictured together at Bordeaux airport in France last October and have since been pictured out several times together. Last November, they served food at a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving and were also pictured shopping for toys for Tyga's son. More recently, Tyga joined the Kardashian-Jenner family on a visit to church on Easter Sunday and last weekend he went on a road trip to Coachella with Kylie and her sisters Khloe and Kendall. But while speculation has continued to grow about the couple, Kylie has managed to remain admirably quiet on the issue, even when baited by stars like Amber Rose, who called her a baby. Kylie recently revealed that she is ready to leave the family home she shares with Kris Jenner and move into a place of her own . In fact, Kylie is far removed from being a baby - now she is just four months shy of her 18th birthday, the star is already getting ready to move out of her family home into a place of her own. In a recent interview with Teen Vogue, she said: 'I'm moving out when I turn 18. I'm ready to live on my own. 'It's a really big step, but I'm ready. 'I want a house near my family in a quiet neighborhood with a front yard and a backyard that my dog will like. 'Also, I have so many shoes, and none of them fit in my old closet.' With a rumoured music career on the way, with a new single called Forever Real, featuring Iggy Azalea and Tyga reported to be released later this year, it seems like this young lady is on the brink of even bigger stardom.

Barcelona took a major step towards qualification for the last four of the Champions League after they dismantled Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night. Sportsmail's ADAM CRAFTON takes a look at five things we learned from Barcelona's emphatic  victory. Super Suarez . It feels rather strange now but there was a time last summer when we were all wondering whether Luis Suarez - with his penchant for a human-based snack during football matches - was worth all that money for Barcelona. There can be no question anymore. It is now 17 goals for the season and Barcelona's front three, spearheaded by Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar is the most in-form in world football. They are a frightening prospect and Suarez, after three goals in his first 12 games for Barcelona, has hit the high notes at the right time. He has scored 10 in his last 11 games - including two crucial goals away at Manchester City - and his understanding with his strike partners has elevated this Barcelona side to a new level. Luis Suarez scores his second of the night to give Barcelona a 3-0 lead in their tie at Paris Saint-Germain . The former Liverpool forward is mobbed by his Barcelona team-mates after doubling his tally for the evening . PSG yearn for Zlatan's quality . Prior to this game, PSG were unbeaten so far this season when playing without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, winning 11 and drawing 5 of the 16 games. It had developed a view - nourished by that inspiring performance when Ibrahbimovic was sent off at Chelsea - that PSG may be a stronger collective unit without the Swede. Yet on the grandest occasions, you still require that moment of world-class quality and Laurent Blanc really needed Edinson Cavani to stand tall here. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, pictured in action on Saturday, missed the game against Barcelona through suspension . Edinson Cavani failed to deliver the goods for PSG and looked out-of-sorts against Barcelona on Wednesday . Once more, though, the Uruguayan failed to deliver on the biggest stage. PSG fans still wince at the memory of his miss against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season and so often, he leaves you wanting more in these pivotal games. He was brilliantly denied by a Javier Mascherano challenge in the first half but you sensed he lacked the conviction to really make the most of the opportunity. He does some wonderful things, moving with pace and intelligence but when faced with a guilt-edged opening, he too often loses that defining ability to remain cool and detached when faced by a goalkeeper and the roar of the crowd. When bearing down on Mascherano in the first half, he was like a pianist whose timing has deserted him, hesitating and pontificating. It is now only four goals in 15 games and you can perhaps understand why PSG may be tempted to cash in on him. Neymar back in form . After a run of three goals in 10 games, the Brazilian had begun to fade into the shadows a little, particularly when placed against the the brilliance of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. The local rumour mill had begun swirling and there were suggestions - not without foundation - in the Catalan media that Neymar is unhappy with how often he is substituted by his manager. This was a good response. He remains such a talent and the opening goal tonight was clinically dispatched and marked his 28th goal of an excellent season. Messi was pulling the strings as ever but Neymar was the most eye-catching Barcelona forward in the first-half. Neymar was Barcelona's most eye-catching forward in the first half of their victory against PSG . Neymar celebrates with Luis Suarez after the Uruguayan scored his first of two goals against PSG . PSG's Euro home run comes to an end . This victory for Barcelona brought a shuddering end to PSG's proud unbeaten run at the Parc de Princes in European competition. Barcelona are the first team to win here in either the Europa League or Champions League since Hapoel Tel-Aviv in 2006 - an undefeated streak that had lasted nine years, yielding 22 wins and 11 draws. In truth, the victory was rarely in doubt from the first whistle, such was Barcelona's composure and quality on the ball. Sir Alex Ferguson once described the experience of facing Barcelona's passing game as like being on a 'carousel'. PSG started brightly and for a few moments, it looked like the carousel might have malfunctioned. But it was no more than a glitch. PSG hopped on and when the referee finally called time, they staggered off across the fairground, most probably feeling rather sick. Marquinhos and Yohan Cabaye reflect on PSG's defeat... their first at home in European football since 2006 . Busquets is the midfield maestro . We have marvelled for years at the gifts of Xavi and Andres Iniesta and while the shielding work of Sergio Busquets has also been appreciated, it does seem as though he has become even more prominent under Luis Enrique. He reads the game with such intelligence, stepping in with poise and composure to mop up the danger. Those around him - Iniesta, Rakitic and Xavi add the decoration - but Busquets' consistent brilliance forms the foundations of this Barcelona midfield. Every team is grateful to its 'water-carriers', as Eric Cantona once dubbed Didier Deschamps, but with Busquets in this form, Barcelona could be heading towards the champagne come the end of the season.

More than 100,000 people on the coast of the Pacific Northwest are in the path of a potentially deadly tsunami that could be similar to the one in 2011 that ravaged parts of Japan. The new study highlights the areas in Washington, Oregon and California that would require more time to successfully evacuate for higher ground in the case of the next natural disaster. It calculated that 94,872 residents and 42,424 employees live within the tsunami hazard zones of the three states. Also in danger are 486 public venues, 440 dependent care facilities and 2,314 businesses with a 'significant customer presence'. Scroll down for video . A tsunami evacuation route sign in Nehalem, Oregon, just one of the Pacific Northwest communities in the path of a potentially deadly tsunami that could be similar to the one in 2011 that ravaged parts of Japan . Seventy-seven percent of the communities lying in the risk zone are equipped with the kind of geography and location to allow them the 15 to 25 minutes required for successful tsunami evacuation after a large-magnitude earthquake hits. And some communities can increase their chance of survival simply by walking faster. According to the analysis, 21,562 residents, more than 50 percent of which live in Washington, would not have time to evade the tsunami's waves if they were walking on foot at 2.2 mph. But if they adjusted their pace to 3.5 mph, the number of people at risk drops below 16,000. And 90 per cent of the 20,000 people who live in the two communities most at-risk, Aberdeen and Hoquiam in Washington, could reach safety by just walking at a normal pace. 'Just by getting people to move faster, you can save thousands of lives,' Nathan Woods, US Geological Survey geographer and lead author of the study, told the Seattle Times. Wood said these communities would most benefit by making sure residents have studied the best tsunami evacuation routes. But there are the coastal towns who wouldn't have the time to evacuate on foot, no matter how fast they walk or run, according to the analysis, conducted by the US Geological Survey, the University of Colorado, Boulder and California State University, Sacramento. This graph ranks the chances of the 73 communities considered to be in the tsunami danger zone for a successful evacuation. The third class is considered 'unlikely to have successful evacuations' Washington communities Ocean Shores, Grays Harbor County, Pacific County and Long Beach, as well as Oregon town Seaside, are listed as 'unlikely to have successful evacuations'. According to Wood, these specific communities need to instead work toward designing and constructing tsunami evacuation structures so that reaching higher ground isn't necessary. But the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, warns that successful evacuations are not guaranteed for any community - no matter where its located. 'Individuals still need to understand the threat, recognize signs of imminent waves and take self-protective action,' it concludes. Wood told CBS News that any community on the coast of the Pacific Northwest was 'vulnerable to varying degrees' to a tsunami. 'Having a better sense of how a community is specifically vulnerable provides officials with the ability to develop outreach, preparedness, and evacuation plans that are tailored to local conditions and needs.'

Also in danger are over 400 public venues and dependent care facilities . Study estimates 77% of communities have the 15-25 minutes required to evacuate safely after an earthquake hits . Some communities in Washington, the most at-risk state, could increase chance of survival simply by walking faster . But certain communities along the coast are too far from high ground for a safe evacuation - no matter how fast they walk . They will need to build special evacuation structures instead .

Teachers complained they are now expected to be 'frontline stormtroppers' in the fight against Islamist extremism in school, a conference has heard. They said they are now being forced to spy on children during sensitive discussions as a result of new-counter terrorism rules. The National Union of Teachers (NUT) suggested that Government strategies designed to tackle extremism and terrorism have instead 'shut down debate' in schools. Teachers said they now feel nervous discussing controversial issues over fears they will be pressured to report youngsters who share their opinions. They also claimed young people feel unable to express there views on certain subjects, such as the Charlie Hebdo killings, for fear of being branded an extremist. Scroll down for video . Christine Blower, NUT general secretary, said there is a need keep a 'safe space' for discussion . Jan Nielsen, an NUT member from Wandsworth, south-west London, said: 'We have to be clear that we are being put in the position where we are really being expected to be the frontline stormtroopers, who listen, who spy, and notify the authorities about students that we may be suspicious of.' The conference heard an example of a student being pulled aside after prayers one Friday because children coming out of the prayer room were talking about extremism, despite the fact that the boy had put a strong argument against joining jihadi groups. In another case, a boy who applied to go to Pakistan to visit his dying grandfather had his laptop taken from him and searched, with three potential examples of the youngster viewing jihadi websites found. When the pupil was questioned, he asked how he could argue against something if he did not understand it. In response, the pupil's non-Muslim classmates questioned why they would not be seen as suspicious if they applied to visit their grandparents in Holland, the conference was told. Delegates at the annual conference in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, raised concerns about the move to require schools to promote fundamental British values as well as the Government's Prevent strategy, which is aimed at tackling extremism. The strategy suggests school staff can help to identify and refer youngsters whose behaviour suggests that they are being drawn into extremism or terrorism. Alex Kenny, of the union's executive, described Prevent as a 'blunt instrument that will do damage and inhibit debate in schools', adding that Ofsted should be allowed 'nowhere near these issues'. Ofsted now checks that schools are actively promoting British values like tolerance and democracy as part of regular inspections. In the wake of attacks on the Charlie Hebdo journalists there were, in some schools, Muslim pupils who did not feel they could say they were offended by the newspapers cartoons . Mr Kenny said: 'We live in a damaged and volatile world, and like us, young people are trying to make sense of it, like us, they're trying to come to conclusions about cause, effect and solutions, and like us they want a space to discuss it. 'Schools are places where that discussion, on ethical and political issues should take place, in an environment of enquiry, and it may be an environment where young people say things we don't like, or say things that concern us that we want to address with them, that we want to discuss with them. 'But Prevent conflates a notion of British values and an elastic notion of non-violent extremism that is shutting down that debate.' He added: 'We have measures to deal with safeguarding, we have child protection measures, we don't need Prevent and we don't need to involve the police as the first instance. 'We are hearing young people telling teachers that they don't want to discuss things, that they don't want to discuss what happened with the Charlie Hebdo shootings, young people who were offended by the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, but saying they don't want to say it in class, they don't want to say it in schools. The conference heard that Prevent was shutting down debate in schools . 'Prevent is shutting down debate and we must oppose it and we must say schools are places where children and teachers should be allowed to discuss these issues.' To loud applause, delegates passed a resolution which includes an amendment calling on conference to confirm it believes 'that schools should be places where young people can discuss events in a spirit of enquiry and openness, and that teachers are well-placed to facilitate such discussions and deal with the expression of unacceptable viewpoints'. A Conservative spokesman said: 'Teaching about the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and tolerance and respect for others is part of our promotion of British values, and is at the heart of what every school has to deliver for children. 'We want all schools to promote these values throughout the curriculum, not just as a bulwark against extremism, but as a vital part of preparing young people to get on in life.' He added: 'Our guidance makes it clear that no teacher or school leader should feel unable to talk about difficult or sensitive issues - indeed teaching about fundamental British values actively encourages such discussions - but no-one should be using a school to promote views, opinions or beliefs that discriminate against other people on the basis of their background.'

National Union of Teachers discuss Government strategies on extremism . Say it has 'shut down debate' in the classroom on sensitive issues . Claim pupils feel censored and unable to express controversial views . Teachers also feel pressured to report youngsters for giving honest opinons .

Revealed: Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring, the owner of the stripy Kensington property, may be worth up to £60million and has fallen out with her family over inheritance . The woman accused of painting red and white stripes on her £15million Kensington townhouse in a bitter planning row is a war hero's daughter worth as much as £60million who has fallen out with her family over inheritance. Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring has been accused by critics in her west London neighbourhood of ordering the dramatic overnight paint job ‘to get her own back’ when they objected to her plans to demolish the property and rebuild it with a two-storey ‘iceberg’ basement. Residents in the otherwise immaculate cobbled cul-de-sac in Kensington, one of the city’s wealthiest areas, said the colourful redesign was driving them ‘mad’ and likened Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring, believed to be in her early 70s, to ‘a child throwing a tantrum’. Today MailOnline can reveal Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring has also fallen out with the family of her late husband Robert, who have accused her of failing to pass on cash and property worth millions after his death in 2007. Robert Lisle, her stepson, said her behaviour does not surprise him, having last had contact with her in 2012 when they continued to row over the inheritance he believes is due to him and the wider family. He said: ‘She has made commitments and reneged on them. She’s an extremely unpleasant character'. His wife Sally claims Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring's life revolves around money, which has left her estranged from much of her family. She said: 'She's fallen out with the family. It's sad, she is missing out on them growing up and getting married. But she's not involved because of her decisions. 'Her husband promised money and property to his children and grandchildren but after he died it never materialised. They were promises my husband's father made, but she has never kept one. 'She's so rude, in fact she is the rudest person I've ever met. 'Money is not our god - but money is her god. We don't need it to be happy, we are already, but it is for her. She's got nothing else in her life, no friends, just her and her money'. Ms Lisle-Mainwaring's original name is understood to be Patricia Royde, who later changed her name to Zipporah - the name of Moses' wife - because of 'vanity', her family claim. She is the daughter of a Second World War hero pilot, Flying Officer George Reicher Royde, who was handed the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1942 for helping fly a bomber back to Britain from a European raid when the pilot was injured, saving the rest of the crew on board. But in 1943 he was shot down over Belgium while heading to bomb German factories and buried in the Schoonselhof Cemetery. In May 2013 Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring helped unveiled a memorial at the crash site to remember her father's life and the others lost. Neighbours of a £15million townhouse in South End, Kensington - one of the most exclusive areas of London - have branded the property an ‘eyesore’ after it was painted with red and white stripes following objections to knock it down and replace it with a five-storey mansion . Memorial: In May 2013 Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring, second from right, helped unveil a memorial at the crash site to remember her father's life and the others lost when his RAF plane was shot down in 1943 . Residents surrounding her stripy Kensington townhouse told MailOnline they are ‘horrendously unhappy’ with the new exterior of the three-storey terraced home in South End, Kensington, and likened it to a ‘beachside hut’. Planning documents show Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring wanted to replace the property with a five-storey ‘traditional mews-style’ home, including a two-story basement complete with gym, media room and swimming pool with a double-height ceiling. The new property could be worth £25million. Hero: Her father Flying Officer George Reicher Royde, was handed the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1942 for helping fly a bomber back to Britain from a European raid when the pilot was injured, saving the rest of the crew on board . The plans were initially turned down by Kensington and Chelsea Council but approved on appeal. However, a neighbour then lodged a legal challenge which means the case will go to the High Court in June where a final decision will be made. Residents now believe that Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring, a property developer, ordered the garish paint job - which took place under the cover of darkness - as an act of revenge for the legal challenge. While Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring’s solicitors refused to comment yesterday on the motives behind the dramatic paint job, there is little doubt that it has rubbed the objecting neighbours up the wrong way. Saskia Moyle, 18, who lives opposite the house with her father, said the new colourful exterior had not gone down well with local residents, with the majority complaining that it lowers the classy tone of the quiet cobbled street. She told MailOnline: 'The neighbours are all horrendously unhappy with it. Everyone's complained. We all hate it. It's a bit of an eyesore. 'The woman who owns it put in a planning application to go down two floors but it was rejected and now we think she's trying to do this so the council is forced to demolish it'. Colin Burchett, a chauffeur who works from the neighbouring road, said the property had been receiving lots of attention from tourists, who now regularly visit the quaint street to take photos. He said: ‘In terms of the paint job, I just think it’s really bizarre. I’d like to know how they have got away with it. ‘Surely it’s a listed building or there must be restrictions. All of the windows on the street are exactly the same and when another property in the road wanted some work done there was a notice up for ages. I can’t see how they’ve got away with it.’ The owner of the £15million Kensington townhouse was once involved in a high-profile legal challenge over another property dispute. Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring, along with her husband Robert - who died in 2007, four years into the marriage -, was the owner of Yeoman's Row Management Limited which became embroiled in a legal battle with property developer Mr Cobbe. The dispute began in 2002 when Mr Cobbe verbally agreed to buy and redevelop a block of 13 flats in Knightsbridge owned by Yeoman's. At his own expense, it was decided that he would apply for planning permission for the development to turn the flats into six terraced houses. Residents said they are ‘horrendously unhappy’ with the new exterior of the three-storey terraced home in South End, Kensington, which suddenly appeared after legal challenges thwarted a planning application to give the home a double basement to include a swimming pool . The house (pictured centre before the paint job which occurred in the last couple of weeks) was bought by Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring several years ago and turned from office space into storage space. She now wants to turn it into a residential property measuring five-storeys . Ms Lisle-Mainwaring has submitted several planning applications but ultimately wishes to demolish the current property and rebuild it to take it from three-storeys to five-storeys with a double basement below ground. It will include four bedrooms, a gym, pool and media room . The company would then sell Mr Cobbe the property for £12million upon the planning application being successful, and when the work was completed, he would have to give Yeoman's 50 per cent of the profits if the sale was in excess of £24million. If the planning application was not successful, Mr Cobbe would receive no payment. The contract was purely verbal and there was no written formal agreement or the instruction of lawyers. Mr Cobbe spent about £200,000 obtaining planning permission between 2002 and 2004 and, on the day after the consent was granted, Yeoman's told him the agreement no longer stood. The firm claimed the agreement had lapsed as the consent had not been obtained within a set period of time and refused to sell him the land. Mr Cobbe started legal proceedings, claiming the company had breached the verbal contract, and the case went to the High Court. He said he should be paid for the work he carried out to obtain planning permission and also claimed a right to the land since its value had increased considerably thanks to the planning consent. The Court of Appeal ruled to award Mr Cobbe a sum in excess of £5million but the House of Lords overturned the decision, claiming Mr Cobbe was not entitled to ‘property estoppel’ because he did not have a formal contract. However, the Lords ruled that Mr Cobbe was entitled to a sum for 'unjust enrichment' and he was awarded around £200,000 to cover the cost of obtaining planning permission and a fee for his services. During the case, the Chancery Division and the Court of Appeal criticised Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring’s conduct as ‘unconscionable’ and ‘unpleasant’. Afterwards, solicitors Clarke Wilmott said the fact Mr Cobbe had only been paid for his time and expenses meant Ms Lisle-Mainwaring was ‘laughing all the way to the bank’. The Knightsbridge development, which is currently under construction, was described in objection letters by residents as something which would cause ‘irreparable damage’ to the ‘quality of life and sense of community’ on the street while ‘solely benefiting the commercial developers’. Yeoman's Row Management Limited is no longer active and it is understood Ms Lisle-Mainwaring now splits her time between the UK and Switzerland, with properties registered in London and Geneva. Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring was unavailable for comment today but her solicitor said her Kensington home was not bought for £15million and would not be worth £25million if the two years of proposed work is completed. He also denied claims by neighbours the stripes were painted during the night, backed up by the man who painted them. The tradesman, who did not want to be named, told MailOnline: 'It's not true it was painted during the night. I did it in five hours during the day around six weeks ago. I wasn't told why I had to do it, but I read in the newspapers it was to do with the neighbours'.

The paint job comes after planning applications to demolish home and rebuild it with double basement were rejected .

A Saturday Night Live skit about a male student having sex with his female high school teacher painted the relationship as every teen boy's dream, but drew a firestorm of criticism on social media. The reaction to the comedy sketch reflected a growing view among law enforcement and victims' advocacy groups that it is no laughing matter when a woman educator preys on her male students. In U.S. schools last year, almost 800 school employees were prosecuted for sexual assault, nearly a third of them women. New Jersey high school English teacher Nicole Dufault, left, stands accused of sexual relationships with six teenage boys, while Kathryn Ronk, right, a Spanish teacher at Bishop Foley High School in Michigan got up to 15 years in prison for having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy . The proportion of women facing charges seems to be higher than in years past, when female teachers often got a pass, said Terry Abbott, a former chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Education, who tracked the cases. This year's numbers are already slightly ahead of last year with 26 cases of female school employees accused of inappropriate relationships with male students in January compared to 19 cases the previous January. Female educators who sexually abuse their students are facing tougher prosecution in part because there are more women police officers. There is also a greater awareness among prosecutors, judges and the general public that students who are victimized by an authority figure, regardless of gender, experience trauma with life-long consequences. 'Law enforcement is increasingly feminized, and women are much less prone to the old attitude: "Oh, this is just some kid who got lucky,'" said David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center. 'They recognize the issues involved and they go after women who violate the statutes.' A recent Saturday Night Live skit about a male student having sex with his female high school teacher painted the relationship as every teen boy's dream, but drew a firestorm of criticism on social media . The Twitter furor ignited by the April SNL skit in which a male judge fist-bumps a boy who had sex with his 'hot' teacher indicates how attitudes are changing . Depression, low-self esteem and difficulty maintaining future relationships are among the long-term consequences that male victims face, according to experts. Those problems are sometimes compounded by confusion and guilt over whether they are actually victims since their adolescent bodies involuntarily respond to physical contact. Child abuse experts agree it appears female teachers are being prosecuted more vigorously than in the past. The crackdown is the result of 'two seismic shifts,' said Christopher Anderson, executive director of Male Survivor, the largest U.S. advocacy organization for male sex-crime victims. Pennsylvanian math teacher Erica Ann Ginnetti, 35, was sentenced to 30 days in jail for having sex with a 17-year-old student. The male judge said, 'What young man would not jump on that candy?' 'One is a recognition that it does not matter who the perpetrator is or what the circumstances are. A teacher has absolutely no business engaging in sexual contact with a student,' Anderson said. 'The second is a shift in the culture where boys and their parents are feeling empowered to come forward to say that something has been done.' In recent weeks, a Stamford, Connecticut high school English teacher, Danielle Watkins, 32, whose case was prosecuted by a female state's attorney, was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for having sex with an underage male student. In Michigan, a female judge sentenced Kathryn Ronk, 30, a Spanish teacher at Bishop Foley High School in Madison Heights, to up to 15 years in prison for having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy, saying 'the law does not recognize a double standard.' In New Jersey, a female prosecutor said the most lenient plea deal she would offer Nicole Dufault, 35, a Columbia High School English teacher accused of sexual relationships with six teenage boys, was 15 years in prison. There are contrary examples, such as Pennsylvania's Erica Ann Ginnetti, 35, the Lower Moreland High School math teacher who had sex with a 17-year-old student and was sentenced to 30 days in jail by a male judge who said, 'What young man would not jump on that candy?' That was after a female prosecutor reportedly said in court that the victim's senior year became a nightmare, his grades plunged and he still struggles with social interactions. But the Twitter furor ignited by the April SNL skit in which a male judge fist-bumps a boy who had sex with his 'hot' teacher indicates how attitudes are changing. 'Appalled by the #SNL sketch glorifying sexual abuse of a male student by female teacher. Sends the worst message &minimizes real experiences,' tweeted Heather Timmis @hnt108. An SNL spokesperson declined to comment. There is no central U.S. reporting system for tracking female teachers who prey on male students, according to federal education officials, but Abbott has been charting the crimes from news coverage. His research showed that female teachers far more often than male teachers use social media to lure students, creating an electronic 'paper trail' that may aid prosecutions. School districts are increasingly moving to ban private social media contact between teachers and students, sometimes in an effort to prevent inappropriate relationships. 'Social media enables the behavior to start,' Abbott said. 'There is no way that a teacher is going to walk up to a kid in the hallway and say, "Hey, would you like to see a naked picture of me?" They won't do it. But they will do that on social media. It's like it erases what used to be that barrier.'

A newborn baby girl who was found dead inside a garbage can outside an Ohio sorority house last week was born alive and then suffocated, according to the coroner. A preliminary ruling from the Muskingum County coroner on Monday said the baby found at Muskingum University campus was nearly full term when she was born, NBC4 reported. The child's mother is a student at the small school in New Concord, authorities said last week, but they have refused to release her name. Scroll down for video . Found: A newborn girl was found inside the trash outside the Delta Gamma Theta sorority house, pictured, at Muskingum University last Wednesday. It has now emerged the baby was alive when she was born . They interviewed her after the child's body was found on Wednesday night outside the Delta Gamma Theta sorority house on Lakeside Drive. No charges have been filed. A University police officer called the sheriff’s office at around 9pm on Wednesday after he reported seeing a dead newborn outside the building. The body was inside a plastic bag in the garbage can, according to reports. It's the second time a baby has died of asphyxiation at the school, The Times Reporter noted. Jennifer Bryant, then 22, was arrested on involuntary manslaughter and other charges in 2002 after she gave birth to a baby boy in her campus apartment and then put him in the trash. He later died. Bryant, who was a student at the school, pleaded guilty and was sentenced in to three years in prison in 2003, but she was released after seven months. Tragic: It is the second time an abandoned baby has died at the university campus in eastern Ohio. In 2002, the body of a baby boy was found in a dumpster and his mother served seven months in prison . Ohio has a Safe Haven Law that's been in place since 2001 allowing mothers of newborns to anonymously leave their child at a hospital or fire station. The newborn is then placed with child services and hopefully then put in a loving home. As long as the newborn shows no sign of abuse or neglect then the mother does not face any legal charges. Muskingum University, which is about 70 miles east of Columbus, has 3,000 students. See below for video .

(CNN)To allay possible concerns, Boston prosecutors released video Friday of the shooting of a police officer last month that resulted in the killing of the gunman. The officer wounded, John Moynihan, is white. Angelo West, the gunman shot to death by officers, was black. After the shooting, community leaders in the predominantly African-American neighborhood of Roxbury, where the shooting occurred, were quick to call for calm. One said the officers were forced to return fire. Still, they were glad to see the video released for the sake of transparency. "I think people understand that the decisions Mr. West made put his life in grave jeopardy," clergyman Mark V. Scott told CNN affiliate WCVB. West had several prior gun convictions, police said. Moynihan is a former U.S. Army Ranger who was honored at the White House for his heroism in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. The "Top Cop" helped save a transit officer wounded in a gunbattle with the bombers. Last month, he became a gunshot victim when he and other officers in unmarked cars, but with blue lights flashing, stopped the car West was driving. When Moynihan opened the driver's-side door, the video shows, West sprang out and fired a shot with a pistol at the officer's face. As West ran away, he fired back at the other officers with his .357 Magnum handgun, police said. They returned fire and killed him. Moynihan, 34, survived with a bullet wound under one eye. He was placed in a medically induced coma at a Boston hospital. On Saturday, Moynihan was released from the hospital. "His condition is best described as serious but improving," Boston police said in a statement. "In the days after the shooting, John and his family have been strengthened, humbled and inspired by the outpouring of love and support they've received -- not only from his closest friends and fellow officers -- but also from concerned citizens and strangers from all over the country wishing him a full and speedy recovery." A woman who was driving by at the time of the shooting suffered a flesh wound in the right arm. She was not identified. Two passengers in the car were arrested on unrelated charges involving an outstanding warrant and a probation violation. "None of our officers like to use their firearms," Police Commissioner William Evans said at the time. "It's probably the worst thing we have to do in our profession, but here, clearly unprovoked, one of our officers is shot point-blank in the face." In April 2013, Moynihan was among officers who helped save transit officer Richard H. Donohue Jr., who was shot during a gunfight involving Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the days after the marathon bombings. In the battle, police fired nearly 300 rounds within five to 10 minutes. Moynihan and other Massachusetts officers were cited for their "heroic and relentless" life-saving measures on Donohue, who nearly lost his entire blood volume on the Watertown street. At a White House ceremony in May, President Barack Obama honored Moynihan and 52 other officers as "America's Top Cops." After Moynihan was wounded and West killed, police and and local leaders sought to allay community concerns at a time when officer-involved shootings have led to protests throughout the nation. Scott, of the Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston, said Moynihan was shot "assassination-style." He called for calm in Roxbury. "This is not about 'Black Lives Matter,' " he said, referring to a protest movement that emerged after the shootings.

Nearly half of the British public believe the Duchess of Cornwall should become Queen Consort when the Prince of Wales accedes to the throne. A new poll by YouGov ahead of Charles and Camilla's 10th wedding anniversary reveals that 49 per cent think Camilla should take the traditional title of the wife of a reigning king, while 35 per cent believe she should be given a lesser title out of respect to Diana, Princess of Wales and 16 per cent were undecided. When the Prince and Camilla became engaged in February 2005, only 7 per cent of people polled by YouGov thought Camilla should one day be Queen. Scroll down for video . Almost half of all Britons believe Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, right, should become Queen when Prince Charles accedes to the throne although 35 per cent believe she should be rewarded with a lesser title . Half of those polled believe that Camilla, right, does a good job of carrying out her official duties . Aides have always insisted the Duchess does not want to be known as Queen and intends to be known as Princess Consort instead. But according to some legal experts, unless there is change in the law, Camilla will technically become Queen no matter what title she actually uses. Most people (42 per cent) said they had neither a positive or negative impression of Camilla, with 31 per cent saying they had a positive one and 23 per cent a negative one. But the survey of 1,830 people also showed that 44 per cent believed Camilla was well prepared to be the wife of the reigning monarch, 13 per cent thought she was badly prepared and the remainder had no opinion or did not know. Of those questioned, 50 per cent thought Camilla had carried out her duties as Duchess of Cornwall well - with 20 per cent saying she did this very well and 30 per cent fairly well. Only 6 per cent thought she had done badly in the role. Some 28 per cent had no opinion and 16 per cent did not know. Nicola Wildash, research executive at YouGov, suggested it was more a case of people becoming used to Camilla, rather than a large surge in popularity. 'The further we get from Diana's death, the less that will resonate in people's minds. As soon as the public see something for years and years, they become more neutralised to the issue,' she said. Prince Charles, left, and Camilla, right, are preparing to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary . Figures from YouGov in June last year showed 53 per cent thought Camilla should one day become Queen Consort, 32 per cent believed she should have a lesser title and 14 per cent did not know. But Ms Wildash said the slight decrease from 53 per cent to 49 per cent was not significant and part of a general small fluctuation. Almost two fifths (39 per cent) said they believed the Queen was happy with Camilla's performance as the Duchess of Cornwall, with only 9 per cent thinking the monarch was unhappy. Regarding Charles, 29 per cent think he is performing his duties as Prince of Wales better than he did 10 years ago, while 7 per cent think he is performing his duties worse than a decade ago. But 27 per cent think he was already performing his duties well and there has been no difference during the 10 years and 12 per cent believe there is no difference and he is still performing his duties poorly.

Prince Charles and Camilla will celebrate their anniversary later this week . The couple were married in April 2005 after their engagement in February . In 2005, only seven per cent of people thought Camilla should be Queen . Almost half are in favour of Queen Camilla when Charles takes the throne .

Residents on the east coast of Japan's Hokkaido Island had an unexpected change of scenery this morning after 1,000ft of seabed was forced to the surface overnight. The extra stretch of coastline on Shiretoko Peninsula near the town of Rausu has risen as high as 50ft from the sea surface in some places, exposing what used to be the ocean floor. Geologists believe the emergence is a result of a landslide nearby, when melting ice and snow caused a section of land to drop, pivoting the underwater area into the air. Scroll down for video . Surprise! A man stands on a clump of land that emerged overnight along the coastline of Shiretoko Peninsula near Rausu, on Hokkaido Island, Japan . 'An aerial survey indicates that the land swell happened as a result of a landslide', local researcher Yoshinori Yajima told the Hokkaido Shimbun newspaper after he flew over the area Monday. The mass, which has risen some 30 to 50ft above sea level,  measures roughly 1,000- 1,640ft long, and 100ft wide, a town official said. The new stretch of land came as a complete surprise to the locals, as there was no indication of the land movement overnight . 'The local residents said they didn't hear any sounds and there were no tremors (when the land appeared),' said Katsuhiro Tanaka, the president of the Rausu Fisheries Cooperative Association, who viewed the expanded coastline the day it was discovered. The mass, which has risen some 50ft above sea level, measures roughly 1,000- 1,640ft long, and 100ft wide . No clue: Local residents on Hokkaido island say they felt no tremors overnight, or heard any sounds to indicate movement, and that the landmass just appeared . New view: Local residents from Rausu, Hokkaido, take a look at the newly emerged coastline . Authorities have not been able to determine exactly when the landslide hit the snow-covered coastline, but they do not expect it to expand further, said an official at the central government's Hokkaido Regional Development Bureau. 'Our understanding is that this is different from earthquakes,' he told AFP. It is not believed to be related to the 7.8magnitude earthquake that struck the Kathmandu Valley on Saturday, which so far has claimed more than 4,000 lives. Under the sea: Marine organisms such as seaweed and sea urchins are still attached to the land mass .

A 1,000ft stretch of land rose up above sea level on Japanese island . The 100ft wide mass on Hokkaido is now some 30 to 50ft above sea level . It is believed to have been forced to the surface by a landslide nearby .

Fox Sports Australia will not take action against a freelance presenter who posted an Instagram picture of herself and a friend in blackface make-up. Briony Ingerson posted the image from an 'African-themed party' almost three months ago, writing that the costume was as a light-hearted tribute to a friend who was working on Network Ten program 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!'. I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! aired on Network Ten and involved more than a dozen identities camping under the stars in South Africa's Kruger National Park. She used the hashtag #IHopeThisComesOff alongside the photo of herself painted in black, seemingly oblivious that people would take offence from her costume. It has since emerged that on April 11, Fox Sports Australia posted an image of a man dressed in blackface, as part of a competition which asked viewers to dress up as their favourite sports star. Sports presenter Briony Ingerson has been widely criticised for posting a photo with black face make up . On Tuesday the photo made headlines and Ingerson responded with a message on Twitter, insisting she had not meant to be offensive . The issue was flagged by journalism student Ahmed Yussuf who complained about the photo. He interned alongside Ingerson . Fox Sports Australia tweeted a photo of a man in black face on April 11, before the controversy surrounding Briony Ingerson began. It's understood the tweet was later deleted . 'No harm intended, just wanted to give our hardworking friend a giggle,' Ingerson wrote on Instagram. On Tuesday the photo made headlines and Ingerson responded with a message on Twitter, insisting she had not meant any harm. 'Sorry if you're upset by this, no harm was intended, it was an African themed party #NotAtAllRacist,' she wrote. A Fox Sports spokeswoman told AAP that they had only become aware of the photograph on Monday and it was unacceptable. 'She (Briony Ingerson) is deeply upset that she has offended people in the community as this was not her intent,' the Fox Sports spokewoman said. 'She is aware of how offensive and inappropriate her actions were. 'Fox Sports is satisfied that Briony is apologetic and will be making no further comment on the matter.' Ingerson is a freelance sports journalist who specialises in motorsports. She has presented for Fox Sports Australia as well as on 7Mate, Network Ten and SBS. A Fox Sports spokeswoman told AAP that they had only become aware of Briony Ingerson's photograph on Monday and the company know it was unacceptable . Jet James called for Fox Sports Australia to make an example of the Melbourne-based freelance presenter and terminate her employment with the company . John Patten was another member of the public who felt strongly about the presenter's 'ignorant' actions . The matter came to light after Fairfax reported a complaint from LaTrobe University journalism student Ahmed Yussuf, who worked as an intern alongside Ingerson. 'V hurt to see Briony Ingerson do #blackface. Feel disgusted and disappointed, especially having worked with her. #Racism is not okay,' Yussef tweeted. Yussuf told Fairfax that at first he tried to ignore the photo but finally felt as though he had to speak out. 'It's very difficult to say something about someone who could possibly be a contact in the future but I thought someone should say something,' he said. 'It was there for weeks and no one said anything.' Yussef says that Ingerson has now blocked him on Twitter following the widespread media response. Briony Ingerson explained that she was going to an African themed party and is '#NotRacistAtAll' Ben Williams pointed out that Ingerson should have been aware of how wrong her actions were . 'I read the comments between her friends and herself and it seemed very off-putting having blackface on in an Africa-themed costume party as if being black is something to be put on and taken off.' The photo has sparked outrage, with members of the public taking to social media to condemn her 'ignorant' actions. 'Far too many Australians are either openly or incredibly naively racist. Times like this I'm ashamed of my country,' tweeted Tom Read. 'It shouldn't take 11 WEEKS before something like this gets picked up. I wonder how many people saw it & thought it was ok?' 'I really don't understand how this still happens in Australia in 2015, especially after the Hey Hey incident in 2009,' Ben Williams wrote on Twitter. '@foxsportsaus - sack the girl and set an example will you! @BrionyIngerson - serious misjudgement and just disgusting,' Jet James wrote. 'So a TV 'personality' wears #blackface and is ignorant enough to attempt to justify it. Only in Aus! Sacked her yet @foxsportsaus?" posted John Patten.

Briony Ingerson posted a photo of herself and a friend in 'blackface' The Fox Sports Australia freelance presenter proceeded to defend her actions on Twitter, writing 'it was an African costume party #NotRacistAtAll' Fox Sports Australia say they are satisfied Ingerson is upset, apologetic and understands her actions were offensive . Issue was flagged by a journalism student who worked alongside Ingerson .

Health officials say a drug-resistant mutant super-strain of a nasty stomach bug has made its way into the U.S. and is spreading - already causing more than 200 illnesses since last May. Shigella infections, otherwise known as 'Delhi Belly' or 'Montezuma's revenge' were traced to people who had recently traveled to the Dominican Republic, India or other countries. The symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea. Outbreaks of the Shigella bacteria are not unusual, but this strain is resistant to the antibiotic most commonly prescribed for adults. Cases of shigellosis (bacteria pictured), otherwise known as 'Delhi Belly' or 'Montezuma's revenge' were traced to people who had recently traveled to the Dominican Republic, India or other countries . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the report Thursday. The superbug sickened at least 243 people, in 32 states and Puerto Rico. Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed, especially for more serious cases. CDC Director Tom Frieden said in a statement: 'These outbreaks show a troubling trend in Shigella infections in the United States. 'Drug-resistant infections are harder to treat and because Shigella spreads so easily between people, the potential for more – and larger – outbreaks is a real concern. 'We’re moving quickly to implement a national strategy to curb antibiotic resistance because we can’t take for granted that we’ll always have the drugs we need to fight common infections. Scientists unlocked the genetic code of bacteria grown from a soldier who died of dysentery in World War I. Their findings revealed a superbug already resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics decades before they were in common use. CDC Director Tom Frieden said the spike in outbreaks show a 'troubling trend' in Shigella infections across the United States . Kate Baker of Britain's Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute said last November that analysis of genetic differences between this 1915 sample of Shigella flexneri and three others isolated in 1954, 1984 and 2002 showed that while the bacterium has changed relatively little, the mutations it has acquired have made it more dangerous and persistent. It also went though what is known as a 'serotype conversion', she said, which made it able to re-infect and cause illness in people who had already been infected before and would previously have been immune to further attacks. Shigella causes an estimated 500,000 cases of diarrhea in the United States every year. CDC and public health partners investigated several recent clusters of shigellosis in Massachusetts, California and Pennsylvania and found that nearly 90 percent of the cases tested were resistant to ciprofloxacin (Cipro), the first choice to treat shigellosis among adults in the United States.

Cases have been traced to ill travelers from India and Dominican Republic . Symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea . Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed for more serious cases . However strain has become increasingly resistant to drugs .

Here, Sportsmail picks Mourinho's best ever XI. Jose Mourinho has won 21 major trophies during his career as a coach and his picked his ultimate XI . Goalkeeper - Petr Cech . His signature in the summer of 2004 coincided with Mourinho's arrival in west London, and the Czech stopper has become a Chelsea stalwart. Currently out of the team due to Thibaut Courtois' emergence, and his manager will reportedly let him leave Stamford Bridge. Petr Cech has formed himself a legendary reputation at Chelsea during 11 years at the club . Sergio Ramos - Right back . A stalwart for 10 years in Real Madrid's defence, Sergio Ramos was a key part of Mourinho's title-winning side in 2011-2. Sergio Ramos has been a star at the back for Real Madrid for 10 years . John Terry - Centre back . The Chelsea captain seemingly keeps getting better under Mourinho, with major lapses in form only usually occurring when the 52-year-old isn't in charge. John Terry has captained Chelsea whenever Mourinho has been in charge at the club . Centre back - Lucio . The Brazilian beast was one of the fiercest defenders of the past decade, winning everything in the game at club and international level. And he was superb for Mourinho during their Treble-winning time together at Inter in 2010. Lucio was one of the best central defenders of the past decade, especially during his time at Inter . Left back - Ashley Cole . A England's greatest left back of a generation, he may not have played under Mourinho for too long, but he was still undoubtedly one of the top performers for the Blues under the Portuguese. Ashley Cole played under Mourinho during both of his stints at Stamford Bridge . Centre midfield - Michael Essien . There was a stage during Michael Essien's peak where he was one of the best midfielders in the Premier League and the world. Even when he declined in later years, Mourinho still saw fit to bring him to Real Madrid. Midfielder Michael Essien in action during his time playing for Chelsea . Centre midfield - Frank Lampard . Another one of Mourinho's stalwarts, was a key man with goals from midfield during a dominant first spell in charge for the Portuguese boss at Chelsea. He may have let him go last summer, but Jose obviously still loves Lampard. Frank Lampard and Jose Mourinho embrace after victory in the Champions League against Barcelona in 2005 . Left wing - Eden Hazard . They've had their run-ins in the past, but it's clear Mourinho hasn't had many more talented players than this Belgian winger, who is firing the Blues towards the title. Hazard recently signed a new long-term deal so is clearly happy under this boss. Eden Hazard is the youngest member in this side and is firing Chelsea towards the Premier League title . Attacking midfield - Wesley Sneijder . Under Mourinho, Sneijder emerged as one of the best attacking midfielders in the world. The Dutchman was superb as Inter stormed to the Treble in 2010, and it's fair to say he hasn't looked like the same player since they split. Wesley Sneijder playing for Inter Milan, he was a star for Mourinho during their Treble winning campaign . Right wing - Cristiano Ronaldo . What more can you say? Ronaldo recently scored his 300th goal for Real Madrid, and flourished while working with the 'Special One' at the Bernabeu. The Portuguese duo certainly get on. Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed his time working with his Portuguese compatriot at the Bernabeu . Striker - Didier Drogba . Mourinho recently described Drogba as his best buy at any club, so it's no surprise to see the Ivorian make the list. He arrived in England as a petulant forward with a lot to prove, and is now a Chelsea legend in his second spell at the club. Mourinho recently admitted Drogba was his best ever buy so it's no surprise to see him as the striker . Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

With 20 goals to his name this season, Watford captain Troy Deeney is regarded by many as the best striker outside the Premier League. In fact, Deeney has been lighting up the Championship for the last three seasons, scoring 64 goals in 123 league games at an average of over a goal every other game. The next logical step for the Birmingham-born striker is the top flight and, with Watford just a point off the top of the table with five games to go, he could well be skippering the Hornets in the Premier League next season. Watford striker Troy Deeney won the Championship's Player of the Month award for March . Hornets skipper Deeney is hoping to cap off a fine season by leading Watford to the Premier League . Deeney believes he can follow in the path of Charlie Austin and Danny Ings by becoming a Premier League hit . Watford are currently just one point behind Championship leaders Bournemouth with five games left to play . And Deeney, who was this week named the Sky Bet Championship player of the month for March, makes no secret of his desire to test himself at the highest level. He said: 'I've looked at Charlie Austin, Danny Ings, Rickie Lambert and Grant Holt before that. 'These are all people that have been in the Championship, done well, then held their own in the Premier League. 'There is a sign there that you can really go on (from the Championship). If you go in and apply yourself then you can score goals. 'I want to make sure that when I go up there I'm ready for it and I show what I'm about.' It seems fair for Deeney to say 'when' and not 'if' he plays at the top level because on this season's evidence he and striker partner Odion Ighalo certainly are ready for it. Between them the Championship's most lethal strikeforce have scored 39 league goals this season and Deeney waxed lyrical about his Nigerian strike partner. 'He's a natural finisher,' he said. 'Before Saturday (when Ighalo scored from 20 yards in the win over Middlesbrough) we had been joking that all of his goals were inside the 18-yard box. 'He's definitely a poacher and when he scores he normally scores doubles, one game he got four. He scores in bunches which is a sign of a real good striker.' Deeney is adamant that together he and Ighalo could terrorise Premier League defences. 'I've been and watched a few games this season and I don't see why not,' he said. Watford striker Odion Ighalo has also been in fine goalscoring form during the course of the campaign . Deeney has been impressed with Slavisa Jokanovic since the Watford manager took charge in October . 'I think you have to be very ruthless in the Premier League and we've shown that we can score goals. 'Are we confident we can do it? Definitely.' Watford - currently third in the table and kept out of the top two only on goal difference - joined the promotion-chasing pack late after a turbulent start to the season saw three managers depart before current boss Slavisa Jokanovic took charge in October. But referring to that period Deeney, who has played under seven managers since joining Watford from Walsall in 2010, insists: 'It wasn't that bad.' He added: 'It definitely brought the players closer together. 'It's just one of those things really, in any line of work if your manager changes your job doesn't change.' Watford have won 15 of Jokanovic's 27 matches in charge and Deeney has been impressed by the Serbian's tactical flexibility. Ahead of Saturday's trip to Millwall, he said: 'We've got a talented squad so we can go from 4-4-2 to 4-4-2 diamond to 3-5-2 or 4-3-3. 'His (Jokanovic's) adaptability would be the one thing that makes him stand out.' Former Watford boss Beppe Sannino handed Deeney the captain's armband during his brief spell in charge . But Deeney's role in the revival of Watford's season, not just as goalscorer but as captain, cannot be underestimated. Beppe Sannino made him captain before the start of the season and Deeney seems to have taken to the role like a duck to water. 'I was very vocal anyway,' he said. 'If I've got something to say I'm going to say it anyway, good or bad, and I think that once people know me they respect that. 'If you're doing good I'll tell you you're doing good, if you're doing wrong I'll tell you you're doing wrong. I don't expect anything else of others towards myself. 'The added responsibility of now having to lead even more by example, I think that's the only that's changed. 'But then I think I did it pretty well beforehand, I think that's why they made me captain. They know what I'm about and what I offer. 'But now it's a case of justifying why they have made that decision.' Deeney served three months in prison for affray in 2012 and says it is no coincidence he has enjoyed by far the best three seasons of his career since his release. Deeney has warned his Watford team-mates they have 'three weeks of hard work' ahead of them . 'The two are definitely linked,' he admits. 'But it's more down to personal growth and realising what an opportunity I had, instead of being an idiot and just letting my chance go by. 'I've just grasped it with both hands and become a better footballer and a better person for it, so it (prison) was probably a blessing in disguise.' Captaining Watford in the Premier League next season, Deeney admits, would be the crowning glory after three years' hard work following his release. 'That would be the fairytale ending,' said the 26-year-old. 'But we've got three weeks of hard work before we can even start thinking about that, so I'm just going to keep working and hopefully that fairytale can come true.' You get the feeling Deeney will be playing in the Premier League regardless of what happens in the next few weeks. But Watford have as good a chance as any of promotion with their talismanic captain in the side.

Watford striker Troy Deeney is yet to play in the Premier League . Deeney is regarded as one of the best strikers outside the top-flight . He has scored 64 goals in 123 games during his last three seasons . The Hornets are currently just one point behind leaders Bournemouth .

A group of Muslim migrants have been arrested for 'aggravated murder' after allegedly throwing 12 Christians into the Mediterranean sea during a recent crossing from Libya, Italian police reports. Witnesses say a fight broke out on a rubber dinghy carrying more than 100 African migrants from Libya to Sicily, after which the men were thrown to their deaths. A group of 15 men have now been arrested on suspicion of 'multiple aggravated murder motivated by religious hate,' Palermo police said in a statement. Murders: A fight over religion broke out on a boat carrying 105 migrants from Libya, after which 12 men 'professing the Christian faith' were thrown to their deaths. Pictured: Migrants are transferred to holding centers after disembarking from in Augusta's port, near Siracusa, Sicily . Italian police say they were informed of the alleged attacks by a group of Nigerian and Ghanaian survivors upon their arrival in Palermo, Sicily yesterday. The survivors said they had boarded a rubber boat on the Libyan coast on April 14, which had 105 passengers aboard. During the crossing, a fight broke out over religion, with the group of Muslim passengers threatening the Nigerians and Ghanaians after the latter declared themselves to be Christians. 'The threats then materialised and 12 people, all Nigerian and Ghanaian, are believed to have drowned in the Mediterranean,' the police statement added. The 15 migrants arrested over the attack on their arrival in Palermo are from the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Bissau. A group of 15 Muslim men, from the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Bissau, have now been arrested on suspicion of 'multiple aggravated murder motivated by religious hate'  (not pictured) Italian Red Cross operators give first aid to immigrants as they arrive in the Italian port of Messina  yesterday . This week, Italian coastguards intercepted more than 42 boats attempting to make the crossing to Europe . The police statement said their motive for the attack was that the victims 'professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim.' This followed reports earlier today of a shipwreck feared to have cost 41 lives off the Italian coast. Four men, two Nigerians, a Ghanaian and one from Niger, who had been rescued while floating in the Mediterranean by an Italian Navy helicopter reported the shipwreck once they arrived in the Italian port of Trapani today. They said had left Tripoli in Libya on Saturday and stayed adrift for four days. The new tragedies come just days after aid agencies reported 400 presumed dead in the sinking of another ship near the Libyan coast. The deaths have raised calls for a more robust search and rescue of the seas between Libya and Europe amid a surge in migration between the Middle East and Africa toward Italy.

A respected law professor from Philadelphia is being investigated after allegedly emailing students a link to pornographic footage. Lisa McElroy, 50, who teaches legal writing at Drexel University, reportedly sent the inappropriate message on March 31 under the subject line: 'Great article on writing briefs.' However, when recipients opened the enclosed link, philly.com reports that they were directed to a video of 'a woman engaging in a sexually explicit act'.

Boston (CNN)After weeks of dramatic and emotionally wrenching testimony in the Boston Marathon bombing trial, jurors deliberated for more than seven hours Tuesday. But they haven't reached a verdict yet. The jurors sent out two questions, which are scheduled to be addressed when they return to court Wednesday morning. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 21-year-old accused Boston Marathon bomber, faces life in prison or the death penalty. On Monday, the jury saw a video of the moment a bomb exploded and disemboweled an 8-year-old boy and ripped the leg off his sister. The blast killed a 23-year-old graduate student from China. The jurors heard more horror from April 15, 2013. At one point, prosecutors played a video that showed the scene after a bomb exploded -- blood and injured victims everywhere and the sounds of a child howling. His mother lost her leg. "The defendant brought terrorism into the backyards and main streets," Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty said. "The defendant thought that his values were more important than the people around him. He wanted to awake the mujahedeen, the holy warriors, so he chose Patriots' Day, Marathon Monday," a time for families to gather and watch the marathon. Tsarnaev's defense attorney Judy Clarke tried to persuade jurors that her client's older brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a shootout with police days after the terror attack, was the instigator of the marathon plot. The younger man, Clarke said, was only following his older brother. "If not for Tamerlan, it would not have happened," Clarke argued. Bomb survivors and victims' family members wiped away tears and comforted one another in court. Tsarnaev fidgeted at the defense table as he has done throughout the trial. Bill Richard, father of bomb victim Martin Richard, 8, craned his neck to watch Tsarnaev as the prosecutor spoke. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev "chose a day when the eyes of the world would be on Boston," Chakravarty said. "He chose a day when there would be civilians on the sidewalks, and he targeted those civilians: men, women and children." The lawyer waited a beat. "He wanted to terrorize this country. He wanted to punish America for what it was doing to his people." The prosecutor showed a picture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, in the marathon crowd. The day of the bombings, Chakravarty said, "they felt they were soldiers. They were the mujahedeen and they were bringing their battle to Boston." Tsarnaev is accused of 30 counts, including setting off weapons of mass destruction at a public event as an act of terrorism. Seventeen of those counts carry a sentence of death or life imprisonment. If Tsarnaev is found guilty of at least one of the 17 capital counts, the trial will proceed to a second phase, the so-called penalty phase. That part of the trial will include evidence of aggravating and mitigating factors, and the jury will be asked to weigh elements that make this crime especially heinous against details from Tsarnaev's background and mental health history that would weigh in his favor. Since testimony began March 4, federal prosecutors have called 92 witnesses, and the defense just four. It seemed a mismatch from the start. "He was there," Clarke conceded as the trial opened, but the defense strategy always had been to focus on persuading the jury to spare Tsarnaev's life. Jurors were shown a photo of Tsarnaev standing by a tree behind the family of Martin Richard. "These children weren't innocent to him," the prosecutor said. "They were American. He knew what that bag was designed to do." Chakravarty quoted Martin's father who earlier testified, "I guess we were just unlucky that day." But luck had nothing to do with the Boston bombings, the prosecutor said. "This was a cold, intentional, terrorist act," he said. The brothers' acts that day were intended, he said, "to make a point. To tell America, 'We won't be terrorized by you anymore. We will terrorize you.' " The defense has maintained that Tsarnaev, who was 19 and flunking out of college at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, fell under the sway of his older, more radicalized brother. "In the past few weeks, we have come face to face with tragedy, suffering and grief in dimensions none of us could imagine," Clarke said. "We've heard words, we've heard screams and we've heard cries. For this suffering and pain, there is no excuse." She acknowledged her client participated in a "senseless act." Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a Golden Gloves boxer, had hoped to wage jihad, and his slacker younger brother was just along for the ride, the defense has maintained. During the 15-minute rebuttal period, prosecutor William Weinreb told jurors not to be distracted by the defense's "attempt to point the finger at somebody else." "There should be no doubt in your mind that the defendant and his brother are equally guilty," he said. They were "partners in crime." Weinreb pointed out that after the bombing, Tsarnaev went to the grocery store. "Tamerlan Tsarnaev didn't turn his brother into a murderer. To shred the bodies of women and children with a homemade type of bomb, you have to be different from other people," the prosecutor said. "If you are capable of such hate, such callousness that you can murder and maim 20 people and then drive to Whole Foods and buy some milk, can you really blame it on your brother?" The radicalization of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev . From the start, prosecutors presented a compelling case in which the horrors of April 15 to 19, 2013, were vividly brought to life once again. They began with the stories of bombing survivors and first responders, who described acts of courage and compassion amid madness and chaos. The final moments of the three Boston Marathon spectators who died were recounted by the people who were by their sides. According to testimony, Tamerlan Tsarnaev set off a bomb made from a 6-quart pressure cooker, explosive powder from fireworks, duct tape, nails and BBs on Boylston Street near the finish line. That bomb, which exploded near Marathon Sports, claimed the life of Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager. Twelve seconds later, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev allegedly detonated a second, similar bomb outside the Forum restaurant, slightly more than a block away. That blast killed the boy, Martin Richard, and Lingzi Lu, 23, a graduate student from China. Chakravarty's voice grew soft Monday as he recalled the victims: . Martin's 69-pound body "was shattered, broken, eviscerated, burned. There wasn't a part of this boy's body that wasn't destroyed." Lu "received blast injuries all over her body. Her leg was torn open, and she bled out." Campbell died in less than a minute from "massive blast injuries to her lower extremities. Parts of her body were shredded." Sean Collier, the MIT campus police officer killed three days after the bombings, "never had a chance." He was shot between the eyes. "They assassinated him." The brothers allegedly killed the 26-year-old officer for his service weapon but couldn't pry it loose from a safety holster. Case ends with grisly photos and testimony . Dun Meng told the jury about his frightening 90 minutes with two carjackers, one who admitted being involved in the marathon bombing. He identified that person as Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Police fired 210 rounds at the brothers when they tracked a GPS device in Meng's stolen Mercedes and cornered them in Watertown, Massachusetts. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev struck Tamerlan, who was wounded, when he charged police in the car. Tamerlan died of his injuries. "Tamerlan wanted suicide by cop," the prosecutor said Monday. "He was ready for heaven. But the defendant had other plans." Dzhokhar ditched the stolen car and sought shelter in a dry-docked boat parked in a trailer in a backyard in Watertown. As he hid, he used a pencil to scrawl what prosecutors called a "manifesto" in which he said he was jealous of his brother for dying as a martyr and reaching paradise. He also lashed out at the United States for policies he said killed Muslims, writing, "I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished. We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all." Federal prosecutors also presented evidence gleaned from searches of the brothers' computers, including militant literature written by top al Qaeda leaders. And they traced the purchase of the pressure cookers, ammunition and BBs, which appeared to have been made by Tamerlan. Boston trial: What defense?

Court has adjourned for the day after more than seven hours of deliberations . Jurors sent out two questions that are set to be addressed Wednesday . If Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is found guilty of at least one capital count, trial will go to penalty phase .

A bride-to-be was left fighting for her life when her lung collapsed after she had been taking the contraceptive pill. Emma Dickson, of Edinburgh, thought she would be planning her wedding to her fiance Dougie, 26, but ended up talking to him about her funeral when she was rushed to hospital and told she had developed blood clots which had moved to her lungs. The 31-year-old had two blood clots in her lungs, which led to a condition which caused her left lung to collapse - just a month before she was due to get married. Doctors told her she had developed the clot as a result of taking the contraceptive pill. Mrs Dickson developed blood clots, which can be caused by the synthetic hormones in the contraceptive pill, that then moved to her lungs and caused a pulmonary embolism. It left her with bruises on her arms (right) Emma Dickson was meant to be planning her wedding but ended up thinking about her funeral after she was taken to hospital with a collapsed lung, which developed from complications caused by the contraceptive pill . Mrs Dickson, a care home nurse, felt certain she was going to die. There was also a risk the clot could have moved to her brain, causing a stroke. She eventually recovered in hospital but will now have to take blood-thinning medication for the rest of her life which have caused her hair to fall out and severe headaches. It is also uncertain whether she will be able to have children. 'I was just really horrified. It surprised me how quickly everything went downhill,' she said. 'You just never think it's going to happen to you. You take the pill to help you, to keep you responsible. 'You never imagine you're going to end up with a collapsed lung and planning your funeral. 'On the leaflet that comes with the pills it says that one in 1,000 women experience problems with clotting. I never considered the risks. I think I was just unlucky. 'I'd been taking a popular brand of the pill for over a decade with no side effects. It was difficult getting my head round the idea my pill might be to blame.' Mrs Dickson was taken to Causeway Hospital, Coleraine, Northern Ireland, after she experienced sharp pains on November 2 last year. After a CT scan, doctors told her she had two blood clots in her left lung - known as pulmonary embolisms -  and that the clots had developed after she had been taking the contraceptive pill. The pill can increase the risk of blood clotting because it contains a synthetic version of oestrogen which can very slightly thicken the blood, leading to clots. Mrs Dickson's blood clots had developed in her pelvis, moved around her body, and had then become wedged in the lungs. These clots then led to a pleural effusion, a condition which causes fluid to accumulate between the lungs and chest wall. The two pulmonary embolisms became lodged in Ms Dickson's lungs, causing a condition known as pleural effusion which leads to fluid accumulating around the lung and can make them collapse . Mrs Dickson was in a wheelchair after she was discharged from hospital and now must take blood thinning drugs for the rest of her life to reduce the risk of further clots developing . As this fluid collected, Mrs Dickson's left lung then collapsed. There was also a risk the clots could have travelled to her brain, causing a stroke. She was given a lot of strong painkillers, antibiotics, oxygen and blood-thinning medication to dissolve the clots. Surgeons eventually managed to re-inflate Mrs Dickson's collapsed lung and nurse her back to recovery. She said: 'The reason that I did not go into hospital at first was that I was embarrassed. I didn't think it was anything serious. 'If the clots had reached my brain, I could have had a stroke and could have died. Mrs Dickson is pictured with her husband Dougie when she was discharged from hospital in Ireland . A month after being discharged from hospital Mrs Dickson was finally able to plan her wedding . The couple are pictured on their wedding day in Edinburgh after Mrs Dickson was released from hospital . 'All my plans of a beautiful wedding suddenly seemed so trivial, and I was actually thinking of what I wanted to happen at my funeral. I text Dougie to say I loved him because I genuinely thought I wasn't going to make it. It was a horrible conversation to have. 'We were not sure whether we would be able to celebrate our wedding or plan a funeral. We did not know what was going to happen.' One month after she was admitted Ms Dickson managed to have her dream wedding. The pill can raise blood pressure. At first taking the combined oral contraceptive pill can cause headaches, nausea and mood swings. Although the risk of stroke in young women is generally low, pregnancy and contraceptive pills are both significant stroke risk factors, according to the Stroke Association. The combined pill is made up of a particular type of oestrogen and progesterone, called progestogen. Oestrogen can make the blood more likely to clot - causing deep vein thrombosis (in the leg), as well as clots in the lungs or brain, causing a stroke. It has been linked to thrombosis and breast cancer. Research has suggested there is a slightly higher chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer, but this risk level is returned to normal after 10 years. But her recovery has come with consequences, as she has to inject herself with a special blood-thinning medicine just to keep her alive. Ms Dickson had been taking the pill Clairette for three years and is now no longer allowed to use it as she cannot take anything with oestrogen in it, as it is 'too risky'. One in 1,000 women who regularly take the pill are at risk of developing clots. Ms Dickson added: 'The blood-thinning medication I am now on causes severe headaches, nose bleeds, hair loss, nausea and extreme fatigue. 'If I want to have a family, I will have to switch medication and inject myself on a daily basis, because my current medication can cause birth defects.' She has taken no action with the regards to the pills, as the Clairette brand has stated potential risks in the leaflet. She added: 'The risks are in the leaflet. It's just a remote possibility. There is nothing wrong with the pill. I just did not think it would affect me.'

Emma Dickson was taking the contraceptive pill and then was taken to hospital after suffering with sharp pains last November . Doctors said she had developed blood clots, which can be caused by synthetic hormones in the pill, and clots had moved up to her lungs . Clots, or pulmonary embolisms, were wedged in Mrs Dickson's lungs and caused pleural effusion - where fluid starts to build up around the lungs . Fluid caused her left lung to collapse and she thought she would die .

(CNN)Saturday at the Masters, like any PGA tournament, has been dubbed 'Moving Day'. It's the day after the fat has been cut and the big dogs make their move up -- or occasionally down -- the leader board. Players rose and players fell away on Moving Day at the 2015 Masters. Rory McIlroy went out in 32 and briefly raised the crowd's hopes that he had a sniff of completing an improbable Grand Slam on Sunday night. But he dropped two shots late on in the round to finish six under par. Woods comeback? A rejuvenated Tiger Woods showed touches of his old class mixed with the ragged unpredictability that has marked his new game to finish six under too. A huge improvement, but still a long way from him wearing the green jacket again. "It could have been a super low today," a disappointed Woods said after his round. "All in all. It should have been two shots better." Phil Mickelson powered around the course, threatening to challenge too, finishing on eleven under. As did a late Justin Rose surge, where he fired four birdies in a row to finish twelve under and in second place. In the end, there was lots of moving, but no one could move quick enough or far enough to trouble Jordan Spieth. Infallible . The 21 year old has been nothing short of a sensation at Augusta. His infallible first two rounds gave the 21 year old from Dallas, Texas a five shot lead going in to the third round. That has happened only three times at Augusta before, and on all three occasions the leader has gone on to win. Spieth's 15 birdies are just 10 away from Phil Mickelson's Masters mark set in 2001. He could also break Tiger Woods 270 set in 1997. As it happened, Spieth played a steady, almost conservative round. When he made the occasional mistake, like the bogey at 15, he hit back straight away with a birdie next hole. As his third round came to a close the birdies flowed, his putting impeccable. The only nerves on show came during the last two holes with a double bogey at the 17. Echos of 1996? When reminded of some of the great Augusta comebacks, including Nick Faldo's 11 shot swing in 1996, Tiger Woods still believes anything is possible. "It really is," he said. "We saw what happened in 1996. You never know. It depends on the conditions." He is, of course, right. As Greg Norman knows only too well, anything can happen on the final day. But that kind of crescendo also depends on Spieth experiencing a Greg Norman-style meltdown. Spieth's double bogey on the 17th and wobble on the 18th will give the chasing pack some hope. Yet, for all the movement of Mickelson, Woods, Rose and McIlroy, they made just a one shot dent into Spieth's second round lead. He will begin Sunday four shots ahead.

Jordan Spieth holds lead in 2015 Masters . Strong starts from McIlroy and Woods . Both fall away as 21 year old Spieth takes control .

The Archbishop of Canterbury has hailed the victims of the massacre at a Kenyan university earlier this week as martyrs during his Easter Sunday sermon. Speaking at Canterbury Cathedral today, the Most Rev Justin Welby said the 148 mainly Christian victims of Thursday's brutal mass-murders were 'witnesses, unwilling, unjustly, wickedly, and they are martyrs in both senses of the word.' Pope Francis made similar statements during Easter Sunday Mass at St Peter's Square in the Vatican, where he also made a nod to the recent agreement between Iran and the international community over its nuclear power, calling it a 'step toward a more secure and fraternal world.' Religious holiday: The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby delivers his sermon during the Easter Day service at Canterbury Cathedral, Kent . 'Martyrs': The Most Rev Justin Welby said the nearly 150 victims of the university massacre in Kenya were 'witnesses, unwilling, unjustly, wickedly, and they are martyrs in both senses of the word' Religious leader: Pope Francis waves before delivering his 'Urbi et Orbi'(to the city and the world) message, where he prayed for an end to the persecution of Christians, from the balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square after Easter Mass . Long wait: Thousands had gathered in St Peter's Square to hear the Pope, despite heavy rain and thunderstorms on Sunday morning . The Archbishop said Christians must resist without violence the persecution they suffer and support persecuted communities, with love and goodness and generosity. And he said: 'To witness is to be a martyr. I am told by the Coptic Bishop in England that the Coptic Christians murdered in Libya last month died proclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord. They are martyrs, a word that means both one that dies for their faith and one that witnesses to faith. 'There have been so many martyrs in the last year. On Maundy Thursday, three days ago, around 150 Kenyans were killed because of being Christian. They are witnesses, unwilling, unjustly, wickedly, and they are martyrs in both senses of the word.' He added: 'These martyrs too are caught up in the resurrection: their cruel deaths, the brutality of their persecution, their persecution is overcome by Christ himself at their side because they share his suffering, at their side because he rose from the dead. 'Because of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead the cruel are overcome, evil is defeated, martyrs conquer.' Pope Francis delivers his Easter message from the central loggia of St Peters' basilica after the Easter Mass . Waving to his fans: Pope Francis greets the crowd from the popemobile after leading Easter Mass in the Vatican . Popular pope: Dozens of Catholics hold up their smartphones and tablets, some grasping 'selfie sticks', to get a snap of the pontiff . Holy ceremony: Pope Francis swings an incense burner as he presides over the traditional Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square . Waiting for the pope: Hundreds of worshipers wait in the rain for Pope Francis' arrival to the Easter Mass in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican . This is part of Pope Francis `Urbi et Orbi' Easter message, which he delivered Sunday: . 'We ask for peace, above all, for Syria and Iraq, that the roar of arms may cease and that peaceful relations may be restored among the various groups which make up those beloved countries. May the international community not stand by before the immense humanitarian tragedy unfolding in these countries and the drama of the numerous refugees. 'We pray for peace for all the peoples of the Holy Land. May the culture of encounter grow between Israelis and Palestinians and the peace process be resumed, in order to end years of suffering and division. 'We implore peace for Libya, that the present absurd bloodshed and all barbarous acts of violence may cease, and that all concerned for the future of the country may work to favor reconciliation and to build a fraternal society respectful of the dignity of the person. For Yemen too we express our hope for the growth of a common desire for peace, for the good of the entire people. 'At the same time, in hope we entrust to the merciful Lord the framework recently agreed to in Lausanne, that it may be a definitive step toward a more secure and fraternal world. We ask the risen Lord for the gift of peace for Nigeria, South Sudan and for the various areas of Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. May constant prayer rise up from all people of goodwill for those who lost their lives - I think in particular of the young people who were killed last Thursday at Garissa University College in Kenya -, for all who have been kidnapped, and for those forced to abandon their homes and their dear ones. Earlier today, thousands of worshippers braved thunder and rain to see Pope Francis lead Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square, the Vatican this morning. The iconic square had turned into a sea of umbrellas as a large crowd of Catholic faithful gathered to see the Pope lead the service in the enclave in Rome. The pontiff himself was shielded from the pelting rain by a canopy outside St. Peter's Basilica, while prelates carried umbrellas in the yellow and white colors of the Vatican. Following days of warm temperatures and sunshine, Rome was lashed by thunderstorms early on Sunday, and the faithful wore rain slickers and held umbrellas during Mass. Afterwards, Pope Francis delivered a mostly sombre and grim 'Urbi et Orbi' (to the city and the world) message, where he prayed for an end to the persecution of Christians, commemorating the students massacred by Islamist militants at Garissa University in Kenya. 'We ask Jesus, the victor over death, to lighten the sufferings of our many brothers and sisters who are persecuted for his name, and of all those who suffer injustice as a result of ongoing conflicts and violence - and there are many,' he said. The pope spoke from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica as churches in Kenya, where al-Shabaab gunmen massacred nearly 150 people, singling out Christians for point-blank executions, turned to armed guards to protect their congregations on the most important day of the Christian liturgical year. Marking the third Easter since his election in 2013, the . pope maintained an Easter vigil tradition by baptising late . entries into the Church. 'May constant prayer rise up from all people of goodwill for those who lost their lives - I think in particular of the young people who were killed last Thursday at Garissa University College in Kenya - for all who have been kidnapped, and for those forced to abandon their homes and their dear ones.' Marking the third Easter since his election in 2013, the pontiff prayed for peace in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, Sudan, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria, where Boko Haram Islamist militants have also targeted Christian churches. 'We ask for peace and freedom for the many men and women subject to old and new forms of enslavement on the part of criminal individuals and groups,' he said. 'Peace and liberty for the victims of drug dealers, who are often allied with the powers who ought to defend peace and harmony in the human family. 'And we ask peace for this world subjected to arms dealers, who make their money from the blood of men and women' he said. The pontiff also made a nod to the recent deal reached in Switzerland last week between Iran and the international community on a framework for a nuclear accord. 'In hope we entrust to the merciful Lord the framework recently agreed to in Lausanne, that it may be a definitive step toward a more secure and fraternal world.

Gary Neville believes Manchester United have a good chance of beating Chelsea with the form they're in . Neville knows United have played well in recent weeks but admits Van Gaal's system and squad will be pushed to the limit against a Chelsea side looking to move one step closer to the title. 'The tests have been Liverpool and City,' he told Press Association Sport. 'This is another test. They have proven themselves, but this is the best team in the country and to go to Stamford Bridge is the toughest test. Louis van Gaal's side have performed admirably this season and are all but guaranteed Champions League . 'The performances from United in the past month have been absolutely outstanding in any season. 'Forget the fact that in this season they are not going to win the league, in any season the level of performance they have shown in this last month has been of a hard standard.'

George Osborne said he wanted to see half a million first time buyers get on the housing ladder every year . Half a million first time buyers will be helped onto the housing ladder every year by 2020, George Osborne pledged today. The Chancellor said he wanted a 1980s-style property 'revolution' after years of declining home ownership. He pledged to double the number of people buying their first home using government help-to-by schemes. Since 2010 there have been 1.2 million first-time purchases and Mr Osborne wants at least 2.4 million more over the next five years. Mr Osborne said he wanted to reverse the 'steady' decline in first-time buyers getting a home. He told Sky News: 'I'm a great believer in a home-owning nation; a home-owning democracy where families can get on the housing ladder. 'And the truth is that the number of first-time buyers has fallen steadily over recent years, and I want to reverse that, and I want to help families get on that housing ladder.' David Cameron added: 'We have acted on every front, we’ll continue to do so. We have reformed the planning system so that we can build houses. 'We have help to buy, which has helped thousands of young people onto the housing ladder. 'With the help to buy ISA, a new scheme that will help people save for a deposit. 'So we’re building the homes, we’re helping young people, we are creating an economy with jobs, we want to see a doubling in the number of first-time buyers. I believe Britain should be a home-owning democracy, that’s the goal.' It came after Mr Osborne told the Sunday Telegraph that he wanted a 'massive increase in the number of people who can own their own home'. He said: 'Home ownership is an absolutely core Conservative belief and aspiration that we support. 'In the next parliament I would like to see over a million more people helped into home ownership by a Conservative government. 'I would like to see us double the number of first-time buyers up to half a million. That is the kind of level we saw in the 1980s. 'There is no reason why our country can't achieve that again. That's a goal we set ourselves today.' The Chancellor of the Exchequer was campaigning with the Tory candidate for Brentford and Isleworth, Mary Macleod, at the Wyevale Garden Centre in west London today . David Cameron last week made a general election campaign visit to a housing development for first time buyers . Labour's Shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds said: 'More warm words on housing from the Chancellor will be cold comfort to the record number of young people and families priced out of home ownership over the past five years. 'Under this Tory-led government we've seen the lowest levels of housebuilding in peacetime since the 1920s and home ownership has fallen to a 30-year low. 'Labour's Better Plan will ensure Britain builds the homes working people need. 'Labour will get at least 200,000 homes built a year by 2020, backed by a comprehensive plan - the first in a generation - and a £5bn Future Homes Fund to support the building of homes for first-time buyers.'

Chancellor pledged to double the number of people buying their first home . Since 2010 there have been 1.2 million first-time buyers getting first homes . Mr Osborne wants at least 2.4 million more over the next five years .

John Carver has called on the advice and support of former Newcastle managers Alan Shearer and Alan Pardew as tensions grow between the club and its fanbase. Supporters are planning to boycott today’s game at home to Spurs in protest at what they see as a lack of investment and ambition from owner Mike Ashley. Carver was in the dugout alongside Pardew at the end of last season when fans again expressed their discontent during a 3-0 victory over Cardiff. Pardew was booed every time he ventured to the touchline amid a toxic atmosphere inside St James’ Park. Newcastle boss John Carver is under pressure and has asked for advice from some of his predecessors . Alan Pardew was in charge of Newcastle from 2010 to January this year, when he left for Crystal Palace . Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer, the club's record goal-scorer, also had a brief stint as manager . Newcastle fans are planning to protest against owner Mike Ashley for a perceived lack of ambition . Sunday's protests will take place outside of the stadium, but Carver – who, in fairness, has been left with a depleted and disinterested squad - could nonetheless find himself the target should his side fall to a sixth straight defeat. Carver, though, accepts that he must take criticism and has spoken to the likes of Pardew and close friend Shearer, who was relegated as boss in 2009, for words of encouragement. ‘Some of the advice I’ve had has been excellent. It’s definitely changed me as a person in how I’ve dealt with things because, in the past, I would have reacted to what people have said and some of the things that have been written,’ he said. ‘Both Alans have excellent experience at it and that’s why I’m listening to what they are saying. Without a shadow of a doubt they have helped me through this. ‘We are not through it yet but they have been excellent for me, along with many other people in the game.’ He added: ‘But the club realise the situation I’m in and they realise that it’s a difficult one, and that’s why I’m convinced they are going to have to invest. ‘Whether it’s me or whether it's Sir Alex Ferguson doing this job, they would need investment.’ Carver, meanwhile, does not expect a repeat of the poison of 12 months ago when they take on Spurs. ‘The Cardiff game was one of the strangest atmospheres I’ve ever experienced,’ he said. ‘We got through it in the end. I hope it won’t be as difficult an atmosphere this time. Toon fans are planning to boycott the next home game with Spurs and have designed anti-Ashley leaflets . Newcastle players are put through their paces in training ahead of the home game with Spurs on Sunday . Newcastle winger Remy Cabella strikes a shot at goal during a training session ahead of the Spurs match . ‘I don’t think it will be, I think it will be a different type of protest. The fact that people are staying away, the people who come into the stadium will be behind the team because they understand where we are and everyone will be in it together.’ And Carver believes that the home double-header with Spurs and Swansea will determine how the rest of their season plays out. ‘I think these next two could define the season, because if we don’t pick up results it just adds a bit more pressure,’ he added. ‘Sometimes pressure can take over and we don’t want to leave ourselves in that situation.’

Newcastle boss John Carver is under huge pressure to perform in his role . Toon fans are planning to protest against club owner Mike Ashley . Carver could also be targeted for his poor record in his job so far . He has turned to predecessors Alan Pardew and Alan Shearer for advice .

This video shows the horrifying moment a three-legged cat was mauled to death by two savage dogs in a brutal attack. The disabled cat, called Freeman, was sitting in its front garden when the two dogs pounced, dragging the terrified cat on to its neighbour's lawn before tearing into the family pet. Police are now investigating after a person, who appears to be a woman, pulls up in a blue car and collects the hounds - leaving the cat to die in agony. Scroll down for video . Mauled to death: Two dogs tore apart a three-legged cat in a brutal attack captured on CCTV . Family pet: Freeman the cat died in the neighbour's front garden in Tarring, West Sussex, after the brutal attack . A woman (top of picture, exiting a blue car) appears to call over the dogs before walking off, leaving the disabled cat to die in agony . The 90-second attack was captured on CCTV by a neighbour who passed the footage on to the cat's owner Tracy Lynch, from Tarring, West Sussex, and the police. Ms Lynch, a 44-year-old mother-of-three, had owned the RSPCA rescue cat since 2004 and was devastated after watching the horrific video. 'To find out he had been savaged by the dogs and the owners had not done anything is just completely callous,' she said. 'That's what's most distressing for us that they didn't do anything to check on the cat. 'My youngest son was completely distraught. This is the first family pet he's lost and he was in floods of tears.' A police spokesman said the large dogs, which were running loose, were possibly Dobermans and were collected by someone who turned up in a blue car. Left for dead: The 90-second attack was captured on CCTV by a neighbour who passed the footage on to the cat's owner . Devastating: The disabled cat, called Freeman, was laying in its front garden when the two dogs pounced . The attack took place in Terry Rickards' front garden as he was away last week. He said: 'It amazes and sickens me that no attempt was made either at the time the dogs were recovered, or at a later stage, to check on the state of the cat. 'As far as I am aware, no attempt has been made since by the dog owners to seek the owners of the cat. It's a pretty horrific attack really.' Ms Lynch added: 'He would go around the neighbourhood and everyone knew him. He was a real character. 'I think the neighbours will miss him out and about.'

Thiago Silva is gearing up to play Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final this week and the Paris Saint-Germain defender believes he will face an attack possessing the three best players in the world.

Arsenal are trying to find a cure for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's persistent groin problems in a bid to prevent surgery. Arsene Wenger revealed the attacking midfielder has suffered a setback in his bid to return from a hamstring strain that has sidelined him since the FA Cup win over Manchester United on March 9. However, it is the recurrence of a long-standing groin problem that has caused the delay in Chamberlain's return to action, not the hamstring. Arsenal are trying to find a cure for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s persistent groin problems . Oxlade-Chamberlain has been struggling with an ongoing groin problem for several months . The groin injury has been an ongoing problem for the England international for several months, but he, together with the club's medical staff, have managed it throughout the season. The root cause of the complaint remains unclear, with club doctors trying to establish a permanent cure for the problem. Arsenal are keen to surgery and are exploring other treatment methods to rid the former Southampton man of his groin discomfort. However, the option of an operation isn't being ruled out, though any procedure would only take place in the summer. Arsene Wenger has revealed the attacking midfielder has suffered a setback in his bid to return to fitness . The 21-year-old should play again this season but the fear is that the problem could recur . Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss at least two more weeks, meaning he will not be available for next weekend's FA Cup semi-final against Reading. The 21-year-old should play again this season, but the fear is that the problem could recur. Surgery would mean another busy summer for Oxlade-Chamberlain as he'd be required to complete a rehabilitation programme before pre-season. He was involved in Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad last year, but didn't feature owing to a knee injury. Fitness permitting, Oxlade-Chamberlain is also likely to be part of Hodgson's squad for Euro 2016 at the end of next season. Arsenal are close to signing 16-year-old Maxi Romero from Velez Sarsfield for £4.5million . 'It is taking a bit longer than I thought because he has a groin inflammation,' confirmed Wenger. 'I hope it does not become a long-term problem but he faces a hurdle this week in training. 'We will see if he has recovered, so the end of the week and the start of next week are important to see if he got rid of that inflammation. Meanwhile, Arsenal's chief negotiator Dick Law has flown to Argentina in an attempt to rubber-stamp the £4.5million capture of 16-year-old forward Maxi Romero from Velez Sarsfield. The deal has been held up by third-party ownership issues - and Law has travelled to South America to resolve the problem.

Two Florida women who are in a relationship and worked at the same daycare center are fighting to get their jobs back after they were fired for being gay. Jaclyn Pfeiffer, 29, worked at the Aloma Methodist Early Childhood Learning Center in Orange County full-time for the last 18 months, while her partner, Kelly Bardier, 33, was recently employed as a part-time teacher. The two have been together since October. However they were both terminated after the director, Barbara Twachtman, heard rumors about the two and asked Pfeiffer whether she was seeing Bardier . 'I feel like if a person can do their job, gay, straight or whatever, they should be able to work and do their job that they love to do,' Pfieffer told Click Orlando. Fired for being gay: According to Jaclyn Pfeiffer, 29 (left), rumors of her sexual orientation began to circulate after her girlfriend, Kelly Bardier, 33 (right), took a job in another part of the school as a substitute teacher . Termination: Even though the couple insisted they had tried to keep their relationship private, the director of Aloma Methodist Early Childhood Learning Center fired both of them because of their sexuality . School: Aloma Methodist Early Childhood Learning Center receives $2,442 in taxpayer funding per child from the state of Florida for providing voluntary prekindergarten (VPK) during the school year . 'I never thought they would actually fire me for being gay.' Bardier added that she was given the option to 'change her lifestyle' to keep her position. The daycare is run by Aloma United Methodist Church. In a statement, the church said they 'felt the need' to let both women go. 'We can say decisions regarding their employment involve long-standing local church policies intended to reflect the beliefs and values of this congregation,' Gretchen Hastings, director of communications for the Florida Conference UMC, said in a statement to Click Orlando. 'These are policies applicable to all employees. Our church continues to be in prayer for all of those affected.' Together: Jaclyn Pfeiffer, 29, and Kelly Bardier, 33, seen here at Disney World, have been together since October last year . However Pfieffer and Bardier are hitting back. They content they were unaware of the church's stance against gays when they accepted their jobs. They have now hired a lawyer, Mary Meeks, who maintains that religious freedom does not mean workers can be fired because of their sexual orientation. They have threatened to sue Aloma United Methodist Church if they do not reinstate Pfieffer and Barider and offer an apology by April 15. According to The Orlando Sentinel, a resolution passed in 2008 states that the church opposes 'all forms of violence or discrimination based on gender, gender identity, sexual practice or sexual orientation'. Strict: Despite the state funding, Aloma Methodist broke no state or federal laws when the couple's employment was terminated, they maintain . After the two were fired, Twatchman emailed parents saying Pfeiffer, who is well-like by the two-year-olds she cares for, had decided to leave for 'personal reasons'. Twatchman added she had been a 'wonderful teacher' who was 'gifted with children'. 'I am very sad that she is leaving,' the email said, according to The Sentinel. Unemployed: Jaclyn Pfeiffer and Kelly Bardier say they were terminated from their jobs at Aloma Methodist Early Childhood Learning Center after the school discovered they were in a relationship .

Jaclyn Pfeiffer, 29, worked at the Aloma Methodist Early Childhood Learning Center in Orange County, Florida, full-time for about 18 months . She started dating Kelly Bardier, 33, in October . Bardier recently started part-time at the daycare . Both were fired when staff learned of their relationship . They say they were unaware of the center's stance against homosexuals . Have asked for their jobs back by April 15, or will sue for discrimination .

My, my. At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender. So go the opening lyrics to Abba's Eurovision winner. But it seems the message hasn't got through to the majority of us. Research has revealed that three out of four people have little or no knowledge about the Battle of Waterloo. Only just over half (53 per cent) know the Duke of Wellington led the British forces, while one in seven believe that it was the French who were victorious in 1815. Veeker's rendering of the battle between Wellington's Anglo-Dutch army and the French: Forty-seven per cent of 2,070 adults polled said they didn't know who led British forces against France in the battle . The survey, by the National Army Museum ahead of the 200th anniversary on June 18, also showed that young people are more likely to associate Waterloo with the London railway station or the Abba song than the actual battle – with one in eight of those aged 18-24 saying they'd never heard of it. Forty-seven per cent of 2,070 adults polled said they didn't know, or they thought the man in charge was either Sir Francis Drake, Sir Winston Churchill, King Arthur or even Harry Potter's wizardry mentor Albus Dumbledore. More than a quarter of all the people polled (28 per cent) have no idea who won the Battle of Waterloo, while one in seven (14 per cent) wrongly believe the French were victorious over the British. Two-thirds (67 per cent) are unaware that June 18th this year is the bicentenary of Waterloo. Now the National Army Museum, together with Waterloo 200 - the organisation approved by the government to support the anniversary - and other cultural organisations, are planning a series of events to bring Waterloo to life . Janice Murray, Director-General at the National Army Museum, said: 'Despite the Battle of Waterloo being an iconic moment in British history, UK public awareness is dramatically low. 'The National Army Museum is seeking to bridge this knowledge gap through the creation of a series of innovative pop-up events and regional exhibitions around the country making the dramatic story of the battle accessible for all.' Abba at the 1974 Eurovision song contest: Young people are more likely to associate Waterloo the Abba song than the actual battle . Young people were also likely to associate the battle with the London Station, with one in eight of those aged 18-24 saying they'd never heard of the battle . The Battle of Waterloo took place on June 18th, 1815, when British and Prussian forces, under the command of Duke of Wellington, halted the advance of French Army in Belgium. The bloody battle claimed the lives of 65,000 of the 200,000 men that took part, and saw the defeat of Napoleon, ending his reign as Emperor of France and ushering in a period of peace following years of war in Europe. The National Army Museum, based in Chelsea, west London, is currently closed for redevelopment. It is due to reopen next year .

At Waterloo bicentenary, research shows adults know little about the battle . Only just over half polled knew the Duke of Wellington led British forces . One in eight between 18-24 said they had never heard of the famous battle . Young people likely to associate Waterloo with Abba and London station .

Some of the most common pregnancy cravings are chocolate, ice cream or even pickles. But one unlucky woman from New York had a craving for something rather unusual and potentially very damaging - rocks. For Silvia, star of the series My Extraordinary Pregnancy, suffered from pica, an eating disorder that makes people crave non-food substances. In the Discovery TV show My Extraordinary Pregnancy Silvia revealed how she suffered from pica during her third pregnancy meaning she wanted to eat rocks . In the programme that followed Silvia throughout her pregnancy, she is seen picking up tiny rocks from out side of her house, saying: 'I feel really upset and guilty, I feel ashamed but I have to do it.' The New Yorker is then heard saying: 'Over here are the ones that are easy to break,' as she walks around the garden. Silvia says on the show which airs on TLC: 'If I could trade with someone that's craving pickles or sushi I would do it, I would love that, I would trade that any day. 'When I see certain kind of rocks my mouth waters. Literally. It's like when you see something you really really want to eat. 'I try not to look down at the rocks and I try not to go by construction sites Because my system goes haywire and I get so excited. I want to eat some, I want to eat some, you know.' Dr Robert K Silverman Silvia's obstetrician explains: 'Pica is just eating any substance that is not food. It can be as simple as something like ice or it could be as complicated as eating nails. Silvia picks up the rocks outside her house, she is seen picking the ones that are small and soft . Silvia finds the rocks outside in little piles and then hides them around her house . 'We've talked about the risk of taking in pebbles, there are all different kind of diseases that you can get, there are all different types of parasites. 'And the fact that they can fill up their stomach can cause an obstruction. Pica can be very dangerous.' Silvia says: 'Obviously I need to stop, I've tried just about everything they've told me to try, I've tried eating corn starch, I've tried eating different type of candies that got the same consistency, but nothing so far has helped.' Silvia is seen hiding her tiny rocks around the house, behind lamps and behind the curtains, or even in a tea cup in the kitchen. But she is worried about the effects her bizarre eating habits are having on her unborn child: 'I could go the whole day without eating which is not healthy because the baby is not gaining the weight that he is supposed to be gaining. 'I'm not gaining the weight that I'm supposed to be gaining, there's no nutrition going in my body.' 'I've had a lot of stomach pains from eating rocks which is kind of scary, I worry about mine and the baby's health.' Silvias obstetrician says that pica can be very dangerous when, like Silvia, you are eating rocks . A pregnant Silvia plays with her two little boys in her garden ahead of their new arrival . Silvia's partner Estevan tells cameras: 'It's frustrating because everything she consumes the baby consumes, so when she has pains it's all because of this stuff that she's eating. You can't digest rocks.' When he decides to throw some of her rocks away Silvia reveals that it makes her feel anxious and stressed. Silvia said: 'He worries because he doesn't want me to hurt the baby, when he does find out I'm eating something he just feels like he's not doing enough. Estevan says: 'It's like being in a relationship with someone who does drugs, the hiding spots, the little drugs stashes here and there, the sneaking around. 'It does get frustrating but arguing about it is not going to help the situation.' Silvia says that she tried everything to stop her cravings but nothing worked . Silvia's partner Estevan is worried about her and what her rock eating habit is doing to their unborn child . After having stomach pains, the programme follows Silvia as she goes to the hospital and she admits that with her baby almost due she's been trying to keep herself away. When it's time for Silvia to give birth surgeon Jodi Wallis says: 'Pica in pregnancy is a concern because of the mom not getting other nutrients which she may need to get. 'Things that we'll look for in Silvia's baby is making sure the baby is healthy nutritionally and making sure that the baby doesn't have iron deficiency because that would be the biggest risk. Thankfully when the tiny tot is born he's completely healthy, the couple are thrilled with their bouncing baby. Silvia says: 'I'm so excited that he's okay.'

Silvia, from New York, developed a non-food craving while pregnant . The eating disorder, called Pica, makes people crave inedible items . Both she and partner Estevan are worried about what it will do to the baby .

Jamie Carragher does not feel Diego Simeone plays the type of football which would attract Arsenal, Manchester United or City. Sportsmail's columnist insists the style of play Atletico Madrid showed against their neighbours Real at the Bernabeu would not impress the three Barclays Premier League giants.

'The job he had done is unbelievable, I'm not knocking that or his record one bit because I admire him so much. 'But I don't think bigger clubs will look at that and think that's how I want our club to play. I admire it and people at home may say it was a boring game. 'But they're playing Real Madrid. How do you stop them? You stop [Cristiano] Ronaldo. Play deep, leave no space for counter attacks and don't play pretty football because you can lose it and be counter attacked. 'How he sets up against Real Madrid is perfect that is shown in their records. But giants of European football and teams in the Premier League will not want to play like that.'

Like the old saying goes: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. A Melbourne based couple learnt this the hard way after a crowdfunding page they launched received a baffling pledge for over $2 billion. Within an hour, the momentous donation to a kangaroo preservation project launched by ecologists Euan Ritchie and Jen Martin had vanished, and they still haven’t been able to track down the would-be benefactor. Scroll down for video . Euan Ritchie and Jen Martin's crowdfunding page they launched received a baffling pledge for over $2 billion . ‘My initial reaction was shock and disbelief,’ Euan Ritchie told Daily Mail Australia. ‘I was very sceptical but a big part of me wanted to believe it was real.’ The couple decided to make the page after Indigenous tribes from the Northern Territory told them kangaroos from the region were disappearing at an alarming rate. ‘The importance of the mission is absolutely critical. Australia has the highest extinction rate for native mammals, and if we don’t act now we will lose many more.’ The couple launched the crowdfunding page in a bid to track the numbers of kangaroos in the area . In the last 200 years, Australia has lost over 10% of its native mammals, the highest loss of native mammals of any country in the world over that period. The couple launched the crowdfunding page in a bid to track the numbers of kangaroos in the area, and within two days they received the mystifying pledge from someone called Jeffrey Green. ‘I contacted Pozible and started researching online, and within an hour the pledge disappeared. It was very strange and I still don’t understand.’ Mr Ritchie was shocked when the crowdfunding page received a baffling pledge for over $2 billion .

It's amazing what a bit of make-up can do. In a startling new tutorial YouTube star Promise Tamang turns herself into Maleficent, Angelina Jolie's character from the movie of the same name. But where the mother-of-six wore cheek prosthetics to achieve the unnaturally sharp cheekbones, Promise's bone structure is a result of clever contouring. Scroll down for video . In a new Youtube tutorial Promise Tamang has turned herself into Maleficent, Angelina Jolie's character from the upcoming movie of the same name . This isn't the first time she has transformed herself into a Disney character though. Promise has previously made videos of herself as Elsa from Frozen and Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. When she posted a picture taken from the tutorial to Instagram many of her followers couldn't believe their eyes. One commented: 'this girl is RIDICULOUSLY TALENTED! She can make herself look like anyone with her makeup shading including lips! Crazy.' On the video she reveals her step-by-step process beginning with a thick all-over pale foundation. Over the top of that she sucked in her cheeks to begin the contouring technique made famous by Kim Kardashian. But while the reality star makes sure her maquillage is properly blended, Promise shows how she draws a sharp line diagonally along the length of her cheekbones to create the character's highly chiselled bone structure. In the four minute film Promise takes her followers through the steps to transform herself into Maleficent . Here promise is seen heavily contouring her face having applied heavy eyebrows and a pale base . To highlight them even more, she added another layer of even paler make-up to the tops of her cheekbones and under her eyes. Next came perfectly applied berry lipstick and long black eyelashes applied with tweezers. The finished result is uncannny as she dons a latex headdress with horns just like Jolie's own in the retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. One commenter wrote: 'Your [sic] amazing at what you do. Promise has been posting YouTube make-up tutorials for six years now having started her channel in 2009 and now has 2.8 million subscribers. On her YouTube profile she writes: 'I use make-up to transform myself into famous celebrities and characters. 'It started out as a hobby 4 years ago and now I am here using this awesome platform to teach and entertain millions around the world.' Promise colours her lips in before adding a Mac lipstick on top - the make-up brand created a collection inspired by the film . Promise uses a pair of tweezers to place false eyelashes onto her eyelid . Her Facebook page states: 'I am not a professional make-up artist nor did take any lessons in it. I am purely self taught!' Along with Disney princesses, she's also transformed herself into the likes of Drake, Johnny Depp and Michael Jackson. In the four minute video Promise talks her viewers through the steps that she took to get her Maleficent look. She uses many products from Mac's Maleficent collection including the eye shadows and eyelashes. Here we look back at some of her other amazing looks... In another look Promise transformed herself into Elsa (left) and Anna (right) from the film Frozen . In this brilliant transformation Promise has turned herself into the rap artist Drake .

'Secret stuff': Ivana Chubbuck, 62, is a part therapist and part acting coach, known as the 'celebrity whisperer' She is known as the 'celebrity whisperer', a woman whose astonishing skill in honing Hollywood talent made an icon out of a man who used to stand on street corners dressed as a chicken. Today, Brad Pitt is known the world over. Ivana Chubbuck's client list includes Eva Mendes, Charlize Theron, Gerard Butler, Halle Berry, Sharon Stone and many others. So powerful are her methods, she reduced Beyoncé Knowles to tears within five minutes. And within months, the singer was topping the charts with Single Ladies. Part therapist, part acting coach, and very Hollywood, Chubbuck, 62, runs a hugely successful drama school in Los Angeles. She hosts workshops around the globe, as well as in the wood-panelled library of her £3 million home. Beyoncé went to Chubbuck when she was about to play legendary soul singer Etta James in the movie Cadillac Records and was looking to be taken seriously as an artist. Despite her professional success, Beyoncé was also at what she termed 'a pivotal point' in her life. 'I'm about empowering people,' Chubbuck told The Mail on Sunday in a rare interview – one which goes much further into her methods, and her clients' responses, than she usually allows. 'Beyoncé is a black girl from the South, that is her world. Like everyone else on the planet, she has issues. But once she faced those issues and realised she could use them in a positive way in her art, she flourished.' Apparently it's all about the 'secret stuff' that Chubbuck's clients tell her. Certainly it is well known that Beyoncé's relationship with her domineering father has been fractured for years. 'I told her to open up, to really get in touch with her feelings and what was going on inside her,' Chubbuck said. 'She started to feel her secret stuff and we start having a dialogue about it and she became emotional. We were crying together. She tapped into that well of pain inside her. 'She rang me up after we'd worked together on the movie and said, 'Listen to my new record – it's all the stuff you taught me.' And that's when she came out with Single Ladies and all the great female empowerment songs. The little pop star turned into a global icon.' When we meet at Chubbuck's home, model and actress Eva Mendes is just leaving after a three-hour 'intensive session' for her new movie with Ricky Gervais called Special Correspondents. Clients: Chubbuck works with some of the biggest names in show business including Beyonce (left) and Eva Mendes (right) Eva's Prada dress in pale orange . Shop the designer at Saks Fifth Avenue! Visit site . Esmeralda! We LOVE it. And we've a feeling little Esmeralda might be a little style icon in the making, just like her mum. So what that in mind, it's time to revisit one of our favourite Eva Mendes looks. This woman can wear what she likes. Even in bold shades of orange she still manages to look flawless, which is why we've decided to take some autumnal inspiration from this premiere perfect look. She wore this orange Prada dress back in March of 2013, but we still can't quite get over it. It's floaty, feminine and gorgeous. Eva teamed this orange number with a lighter hue satin shoe, which added another texture and dimension to the look. We would definitely suggest a strappy, metallic heel with this. So, if you're keen to update her look for the new season, check out our pick of the best colour-popping dresses (below). We'll be donning Mango's layered mini dress with a leather biker jacket to see out the summer in style. Mango Chiffon Ruffle Dress . Visit site . Boohoo Laura Curve Column Dress . Visit site . Bec & Bridge Isis Angle Dress (now on sale for $178!) at Revolve . Visit site . Carven Crêpe de Chine Dress at Barneys . Visit site . So what did that amount to? Mendes said: 'Ivana's technique could be boiled down to: take the pain in your life and find the most effective way to accomplish a goal with it.' In other words, your guess is as good as mine. Mendes continues: 'It helps you understand humanity – what drives someone to do what they do, good or bad. It's not painful… it's cathartic.' Chubbuck first met Brad Pitt when he was working as a promoter for a fast-food restaurant dressed in a chicken suit, and tells a story of a young man so driven by a desire to succeed that he had no life aside from acting. Today, he is still a client and Chubbuck worked on his most recent movie, Fury. She made an icon out of Brad Pitt, who when she met him was working as a promoter at a fast-food restaurant dressed in a chicken suit . 'Brad always had a work ethic that put others to shame,' Chubbuck said. 'He studied and worked. I would pair him up with a partner and many of those partners would ask to be changed because Brad wanted to rehearse a scene three, four, five hours a day. He was dedicated to his craft. He had no social life. He had his stupid job and the rest of the time he was studying with me. 'For the major talents, fame is never the driving force. Brad worked his butt off, he's taken risks over the years and when he fails he gets back up and works harder. He makes bold choices and isn't afraid to fail.' So what is the secret? Chubbuck says her technique is based on delving into your 'deepest, darkest past' and then using those negative feelings to positively portray a character on screen. Some of this is outlined in a best-selling book The Power Of The Actor (Gotham Books) which has been translated into 18 languages. Stars such as Kate Bosworth, Camilla Belle, Elisabeth Shue and Mendes have given the tome glowing reviews. Mendes said: 'It is my bible – I don't leave home without it.' Chubbuck recently returned from a working trip to London and says the phenomenon of British actors dominating Hollywood (Eddie Redmayne, Benedict Cumberbatch, Daniel Craig) is 'because Brits have a great work ethic and are not afraid to take risks or make fun of themselves'. Do her celebrity friends such as Matthew Perry, James Franco and Jake Gyllenhaal ever expect star treatment? 'Bottom line is they are with me to work,' Chubbuck says. 'Celebrity goes out the window. I'm about stripping them bare. The one thing I have learned over the years is that all of us have the same needs and wants as human beings. 'It doesn't matter if you are in London or the Philippines. There's a shared human story – we all want love, we all have issues with our spouses or partners, with our parents. The key thing is taking the bad stuff and not being a victim. 'You have to use that stuff to empower yourself.'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said he was unfazed by his side's staggeringly low possession stat during the 1-0 win over Manchester United and all that mattered to him was achieving a positive result. The Blues, who secured victory through forward Eden Hazard's first-half strike, held the ball for just 29 per cent of the match at Stamford Bridge -  their lowest total over 90 minutes since Opta started recording this sort of data in 2006. United were also able to string together over 400 more successful passes than the home side. Mourinho, though, insisted that his team's priority was to win the game and not concern themselves with statistics. Presented with United's dominance of possession, the Portuguese responded passionately. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he is unconcerned by statistics and only cares about getting results .

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard (left) dribbles with the ball ahead of Manchester Untied's Wayne Rooney (right) Hazard celebrates scoring the only goal against Manchester United as Chelsea edge towards the league title . 'They could have 99 (per cent). It was no problem,' he said. 'When you decide to play the game strategically, you don't care about stats, you just care about the points.' With Chelsea's last seven league victories all coming by a single goal margin, it would be hard to argue Mourinho is anything but sincere. He continued: 'We were very well prepared for this game. We were able to make some of their important players disappear.' Indeed, Mourinho's bold decision to play Kurt Zouma in an enforcing midfield role really paid off to stifle United's attack. Chelsea's win over the Red Devils sees them extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 10 points. Mourinho's men could wrap up the title as early as April 29, should they win their next two games against Arsenal and Leicester City. Chelsea have not won the Premier League since 2010 under former boss Carlo Ancelotti, but given their lead at the top and with only six games left to go, it would take a brave man to bet against them missing out this term. Hazard, in particular, has impressed for the Blues throughout the campaign and is being hotly tipped to win the PFA Player of the Year award.

Unexpected: Waitrose announced yesterday the early arrival of its first British tomatoes of the year . Our glorious spring has accelerated the growing season - and supermarket shelves are already bursting with English summer fruit and veg. Usually at this time of year we would still be eating vegetables imported from Spain and South America. But thanks to endless days of sun and temperatures we would not expect until August, English tomatoes and asparagus are already on the shelves, weeks ahead of usual. Waitrose announced yesterday the early arrival of its first British tomatoes of the year. It is stocking large Jack Hawkins, aromatic Red Choice and tiny Baby Plums, all grown in greenhouses across England. And the supermarket has been stocking asparagus since the beginning of the month. Strawberries are also already on the shelves - far earlier than normal - and English raspberries saw their earliest ever appearance in the last week of March. Morrisons, meanwhile, yesterday predicted Britain would have best crop of asparagus for nearly a decade. The chain estimates that the asparagus crop could be up 20 per cent this year compared to average, having received an early boost of high light levels and warm temperatures. Morrisons asparagus buyer David Bartle said: ‘Growing conditions look like they are going to be perfect. ‘The good weather will not only affect the amount of asparagus grown but also the quality of the crop. We could have the most exceptional year since 2007.’ Peter Cooke, Waitrose vegetable buyer, said: ‘Our customers can choose from a wide variety of home grown tomatoes and in bigger quantities than this time last year.’ The sunny spell is set to continue until later this week, when the weather will take a turn for the worst. The mercury is set to hit 21C (70F) as the Queen celebrates her 89th birthday today (Tuesday) - making it hotter than Ibiza, Athens and Barcelona. But rain, cloud and cooler temperatures are predicted for the second half of the week. Early arrival:  thanks to endless days of sun and temperatures we would not expect until August, English tomatoes and asparagus are already on the shelves, weeks ahead of usual . Showers could hit the capital this Sunday as tens of thousands of runners take part in the London Marathon. Dan Williams, a spokesman for the Met Office, said most of Britain basked in sunshine yesterday and will continue to enjoy good weather until Wednesday. He said: ‘There has been lots of sunshine around and the temperatures have been pretty decent for this time of year - temperatures have hit 19C in Sussex and 18C in London. But he added: ‘By Thursday a lot more cloud will be around in general and there will be light rain over Scotland. ‘For most it will be a dry day still with some sunny spells, but generally that cloud is the herald of slightly more unsettled weather. ‘The high pressure that has been dominating for the past few days moves over and we see a bit more of what you would expect this time of year.’

Eddie Hearn has insisted his £1.5million purse offer to Carl Frampton comes with no strings attached, but efforts to make a super-fight with Scott Quigg remain deadlocked. Hearn unveiled a cheque with his offer to Sky TV cameras in a bid to force a deal with the IBF super-bantamweight champion, as the Matchroom promoter upped the ante in a bid to book a July 18 date at Manchester Arena. However, Frampton’s promoters, Cyclone Promotions, headed by former world champ Barry McGuigan, released a press release in response to the offer, claiming they were awaiting formal communication from Hearn’s Matchroom Sports before renewing negotiations over the much-hyped bout. Eddie Hearn presents the cheque for £1.5m to set-up Scott Quigg's fight with Carl Frampton . Matchroom Sport boss Hearn said the cheque offered 1.5m reasons for the two boxers to fight . Quigg stares down the camera to tell Frampton to 'put his money where his mouth is' TV rights were believed to be a major stumbling block in negotiations as Matchroom are tied to Sky Sports, while Frampton’s recent title defence against Chris Avalos attracted millions of viewers between ITV in the UK and UTV Ireland. Now Hearn has seemingly attempted to force the fight with a big-money offer in the hope that the bout can be screened on Sky Box Office. While past negotiations were believed to have collapsed due to a failure to agree a deal on future promotional ‘options’ on fights, the Matchroom promoter also insisted he has not demanded rights to promote Frampton’s future fights. ‘Nothing at all — no options, no rematch clause, absolutely nothing,’ Hearn told Sportsmail when questioned on whether such terms were included in his £1.5m offer. ‘He can have this fight, he can go back to whatever broadcaster he wants [after it]. He can go and move to the moon if he wants, it’s nothing to do with us.’ Quigg is the defending WBA super-bantamweight champion and wants to fight Frampton in Manchester . Quigg celebrates his win over Hidenori Othake at the Liverpool Echo Arena in November last year . McGuigan declined to comment further on the saga when contacted by Sportsmail, refusing to elaborate on Cyclone Promotions’ statement which said they ‘have made several attempts to organise a follow-up meeting with Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport to progress these negotiations’. The Cyclone statement added: ‘If Matchroom Sport are interested in joining Cyclone Promotions in staging this domestic superfight, we recommend Matchroom accept the invitation for a follow-up meeting.’ Hearn countered the Cyclone statement, telling Sportsmail: ‘We just want to get it done, it’s so frustrating… I know their statement said we turned down another meeting but that’s because it was getting nowhere. We’re trying to make things happen. ‘The only thing that Cyclone Promotions want is they want to co-promote the show. We’re bringing all the money, we’re putting all the money up,’ said the Matchroom promoter. ‘If there was another broadcaster that they were willing to work with, who could throw a load of money at this fight, then make us an offer. They can’t. We’re in such a strong position, but we’re still being fair. Scott Quigg is the one taking all the risk here. If it doesn’t do that great at the box office, Scott might get only £400-500,000 and Carl still gets his £1.5m, there is no risk. 'This is the offer that I believe has to make Carl Frampton say yes. I’ve already responded [to Cyclone] to say “if you want to co-promote, co-promote it”,’ added Hearn. Frampton lands a punch on American opponent Chris Avalos during their fight last month . Frampton celebrates after his win over Spain's Kiko Martinez in September last year .

Eddie Hearn has offered Carl Frampton £1.5m to fight Scott Quigg . The Matchroom promoter is keen on finalising a deal for the super-fight . Fight date has been pencilled in for July 18 at Manchester Arena . Hearn insists 'there will be no options, no rematch clause'

Arrest: Tabitha Bennett allegedly drove her daughter to fight another girl and then encouraged the fight . A mother set up a fight between her 13-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old girl, drove her child to meet her and then encouraged them to brawl, according to police. Two bystanders recorded the fight on their cell phones as Tabitha Anne Bennett allegedly shouted at her daughter to take swings at the older girl in New Port Richey, Florida. Bennett, who is unemployed, was arrested and charged with child abuse, assault and battery offenses, Pasco County Sheriff's officials said. She is accused of sending a Facebook message to the older girl on April 12 and telling her that she was going to bring her daughter to fight the girl, according to an affidavit. She claimed that the 14-year-old girl had been bullying her daughter. Bennett allegedly drove her daughter to the area near Moog Street and Colonial Hills Drive and left the car holding a folding knife. 'The 14-year-old victim advised she thought she was going to die when she saw the defendant with the knife,' Detective William Orndorff wrote in his report. Bennett allegedly encouraged her daughter to fight the girl, yelling at her, 'Get on top of her' and 'kick her a**', according to police. 'The defendant's daughter was losing the fight at which time the defendant kicked the 14-year-old female on her upper left side and pulled her to the ground by her hair,' the affidavit said. Scene: She allegedly met the girl at this corner in New Port Richey before yelling at her daughter to fight . Her teenage daughter then climbed on top of the girl and continued to fight her, according to the report. The fight lasted about a minute, according to the affidavit, and afterwards, two bystanders posted footage of the brawl to social media. When questioned by police, Bennett allegedly admitted to encouraging the fight but denied kicking the girl - saying she may have kicked her own daughter instead, according to the affidavit. Bennett was released from jail Sunday on $10,500 bail. It was unclear Monday whether she had retained an attorney who could be reached for comment.

Tabitha Anne Bennett 'messaged a 14-year-old girl on Facebook and told her that she would be bringing her daughter to fight the girl' She 'drove her daughter to the meeting place and emerged with a knife - which made the 14-year-old girl think she was going to die' She 'yelled at her daughter to fight the other teenager and pulled the other girl to the ground by her hair' She has been charged with child abuse and assault and battery .

Turkey has blocked access to Twitter and YouTube after they refused a request to remove pictures of a prosecutor held during an armed siege last week. A Turkish court imposed the blocks because images of the deadly siege were being shared on social media and 'deeply upset' the wife and children of Mehmet Selim Kiraz, the hostage who was killed. The 46-year-old Turkish prosecutor died in hospital when members of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) stormed a courthouse and took him hostage. The DHKP-C is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the European Union and US. Scroll down for video . A Turkish court has blocked access to Twitter and YouTube after they refused a request to remove pictures of prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz held during an armed siege last week . Grief: The family of Mehmet Selim Kiraz grieve over his coffin during his funeral at Eyup Sultan Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. He died in hospital after he was taken hostage by the far-left organisation . Two of his captors were killed when security forces took back the building where the far-left group was holding him. Gunshots were heard and smoke could be seen rising from the scene at the end of the six-hour stand-off. Mr Kiraz, a father-of-two married to a judge who also worked at the courthouse, was targeted for his part in an investigation into the death of Berkin Elvan. The 15-year-old was severely wounded after being hit on the head by a tear-gas canister fired by a police officer during anti-government protests in Istanbul in June 2013. After spending 269 days in a coma, Elvan eventually died on March 11 last year. His death, and the subsequent investigation, have since become a rallying point for the country's far-left. Gathering: Prosecutors, lawyers and judges stand near a statue of Lady Justice during the funeral ceremony . A British national, of Polish origin but who has not been named, was arrested on Saturday as part of an operation against the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, according to reports. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said this morning: 'I can confirm that a British national has been arrested in Turkey and that we are offering consular assistance.' Before imposing the blocks on the websites, Turkish authorities had tried to prevent newspapers printing images taken during the siege last week. The newspapers were accused by the government of 'spreading terrorist propaganda' in sharing the images of the hostage-taking. Presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said: 'This has to do with the publishing of the prosecutor's . picture. What happened in the aftermath (of the prosecutor's . killing) is as grim as the incident itself. 'The demand from the prosecutor's office is that this image . not be used anywhere in electronic platforms. 'The wife and children of prosecutor Kiraz have been deeply . upset. The images are everywhere.' He added: 'A request has been made to both Twitter and YouTube for the . removal of the images and posts but they have not accepted it . and no response has been given. 'That's why . this decision has been taken through a court in Istanbul.' Critical: Prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz was taken to hospital with gunshot wounds but died of his injuries . Strength of feeling: Elvan has since become an icon for the Turkish far-left and his supporters accuse the authorities of covering up the circumstances and perpetrators of his death . Google said it was working to restore service to the YouTube . video-sharing site, which it owns. Twitter also said it was . working to restore access for its users. Facebook said it had complied with a Turkish court order requiring it to restrict access to some content or face a block on its service. A company spokesman said it would appeal the order. Turkey's telecoms regulator could not immediately be reached . and there was no statement on its website. This is not the first time that Turkish authorities have imposed blocks on social media sites and networks. In the run-up to local elections in March 2014 blocks were imposed after recordings circulated allegedly revealing corruption among senior officials. Figures provided by Twitter revealed that Turkey filed more requests to remove content from the social network than any other nation between July and December 2014.

Oregon-based defense contractor FLIR Systems Inc. has agreed to pay $9.5 million to settle bribery charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission that involved expensive trips and gifts given to Middle Eastern government officials. The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the deal Wednesday, saying the thermal-imaging company earned more than $7 million in profits from sales influenced by the gifts. The commission said two employees in FLIR's Dubai office gave luxury watches to five officials with the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Interior in 2009. The company also arranged travel for Saudi officials, including a 20-night trip with stops in Beirut, Casablanca, Dubai, New York and Paris. Investigation: FLIR Systems Inc. has agreed to pay $9.5 million to settle bribery charges filed by the SEC that involved expensive trips and gifts given to Middle Eastern government officials . 'FLIR's deficient financial controls failed to identify and stop the activities of employees who served as de facto travel agents for influential foreign officials to travel around the world on the company's dime,' said Kara Brockmeyer, chief of the SEC enforcement division's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act unit. The SEC said in a news release that FLIR reported the misconduct and cooperated with the investigation. Officials with the Wilsonville-based company echoed those remarks. 'The actions of the former employees involved do not reflect the values of FLIR or the high standards to which we hold ourselves accountable,' FLIR CEO Andy Teich said in a statement. The two former sales employees, Stephen Timms and Yasser Ramahi, agreed in November to settle SEC charges against them and pay financial penalties. The Securities and Exchange Commission (pictured) announced the deal Wednesday, saying the thermal-imaging company earned more than $7 million in profits from sales influenced by the gifts . FLIR got a multimillion-dollar contract to provide thermal binoculars to the Saudi government in November 2008. Timms and Ramahi were responsible for the contract. They also negotiated sales of FLIR's security cameras to the same government officials. The SEC said Timms and Ramahi had Foreign Corrupt Practices Act training and were specifically told that luxury watches and vacations were prohibited gifts. The men falsified records in an attempt to conceal their behavior, the SEC found. Besides paying $9.5 million, FLIR must report to the SEC on its efforts to comply with the corrupt practices law for two years.

FLIR Systems Inc. has agreed to pay $9.5 million to settle bribery charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission . The SEC said the thermal-imaging company earned more than $7 million in profits from sales influenced by the gifts . The commission said two employees in FLIR's Dubai office gave luxury watches to five officials with the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Interior in 2009 . The company also arranged travel for Saudi officials, including a 20-night trip with stops in Beirut, Casablanca, Dubai, New York and Paris .

Steven Abberley caused a major security alert by throwing marbles at MPs and shouting 'you are all just liars' during Prime Minister's Questions . A protester who caused a major security alert by throwing marbles at MPs and shouting 'you are all just liars' during Prime Minister's Questions has walked free from court. Steven Abberley, 28, hurled a tirade of abuse at politicians during a session in the House of Commons in October last year. He then threw the glass balls from the public gallery, but they missed MPs and hit a security screen. Abberley excused himself to fellow observers before shouting 'you are all just liars' at Prime Minister David Cameron and the rest of the chamber during the televised Parliamentary debate. When arrested, Abberley told police officers that he had daubed the words 'the enemy within' in red paint on the palace's walls, Westminster Magistrates' Court was told. Prosecutor Mavis Ramkissoon said the incident happened five minutes before the end of the weekly question-and-answer session. She said: 'Without warning at 12.25pm, Mr Abberley stood up and began to shout, "I'm sorry about this ladies and gentlemen". 'Mr Abberley's arms were outstretched, he said: "you f***ing w*****s, you are just liars".' Abberley, who is unemployed, then interjected from the dock, telling the court: 'Can I just say for the record I didn't call anyone "f***ing w*****s". I called them "dishonourable b******s".' Ms Ramkissoon continued: 'He produced a cloth bag and threw the contents of the bag at the security screen, causing a loud bang.' The prosecutor said there was no damage to the screen, but the marbles scattered causing 'distress and shock' to the people in the gallery. 'When he was arrested, Abberley made admissions to the arresting officer concerning criminal damage to the Palace of Westminster', she said. Abberley had scrawled the words 'the enemy within' on the wall just outside the public gallery. Steven Abberley, pictured with his mother, hurled a tirade of abuse at politicians during a session in the House of Commons in October last year . Abberley threw the glass balls from the public gallery during Prime Minister's Questions, but they missed MPs and hit a security screen (file picture) There is no footage of Abberley spray painting the wall, and the judge said he would not have been caught if he had not told the police what he had done. Ms Ramkissoon said it cost £2,416 to remove the graffiti. The court heard that Abberley, whose mother was in court today, is taking medication for mental health and a behavioural disorder. He said that he is looking for a job, and is hoping to join the Army. Abberley, from Carshalton, south London, admitted one count of criminal damage and one of threatening behaviour. District Judge Quentin Purdy sentenced him to eight weeks in prison for throwing the marbles and four weeks for the graffiti, but suspended both jail terms. 'Your personal view of politicians, whatever they may be, are entirely a matter for you,' he said. The unemployed 28-year-old was given suspended sentences for criminal damage and threatening behaviour . 'But the difficult you have is how you chose to express it, by criminal damage and your antics in the gallery at the House of Commons. 'People are entitled to go to that place and listen calmly to that said below. You chose to disrupt them.' The judge said Abberley had caused 'disquiet' which may force others to think again about attending Parliament. 'Those that cause disruption at the Palace of Westminster have a knock-on effect to other freedoms and confidence in going that, and that must be actively deterred.' The sentences will run concurrently and Abberley has been ordered to pay back £500 in compensation at a rate of £5 a fortnight. He will also undergo supervision sessions for two years, mental health treatment for the next year, and pay an £80 victim surcharge.

(CNN)Would a taste of the finest Swiss chocolate make you happy? Or soaking in the warm Icelandic springs? Perhaps the great jazz and rock music scene in Denmark is for you? It's not just the fun activities that make locals and travelers to those countries happy, according to the third World Happiness Report, released by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network for the United Nations on April 23. People who live in the happiest countries have longer life expectancies and more social support, experience more generosity, have more freedom to make life choices, have lower perceptions of corruption and have a higher gross domestic product per capita, the report shows. The tiny country of Bhutan, a very happy country famous for measuring the "Gross National Happiness" of its people, gets the credit for focusing world attention on happiness: Its Prime Minister proposed the idea of a World Happiness Day to the United Nations in 2011. Recognizing "happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world," the U.N. General Assembly declared March 20 as World Happiness Day in 2012. This officially designated happy date marked its fourth year last month. Through the happiness report, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network hopes to encourage governments at every level to measure and improve their people's happiness. "There is no single key to happiness," said Jeffrey Sachs, the network's director and an economics professor at Columbia University. "All of these countries do well in several ways. Being rich? That's good, but it's only a modest part of the story. Trusting society, having a government that ranks on low in corruption, a society where people are generous and volunteering -- all of these are important for happiness." Even if you don't live in one of the 10 happiest countries in the world, a visit to these happy places will give you a taste of what the locals enjoy every day. Here are the top 10 happiest places on Earth, according to the World Happiness Report. 1. Switzerland . Switzerland took the top spot from Denmark in 2015, rising from third to first place in this year's list of the world's happiest countries. Bern, the capital city of Switzerland, has the cobblestone streets and medieval architecture that make it apparent why the old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since the city's founding in the 12th century, it has expanded in an often neat and orderly fashion. And the lovely River Aare offers in-town swimming and boating. Looking to get out of the capital city? Book a trip to Lucerne, where you can take a boat trip on the lake, ride the panorama gondola, take in the views on the new Dragon Ride aerial cableway and ride on the world's steepest cog railway. Book the Golden Round trip and get all four trips -- and stunning views of the Alps -- in one day. (The railway reopens in mid-May.) And no matter where you go, there will certainly be plenty of delicious chocolate to try. 2. Iceland . Nature and culture combine to make Iceland a truly happy place, so delightful that the tiny country jumped from ninth to second place this year. Explore South Iceland, where many of the ancient tales -- called sagas -- that document Iceland's 10th- and 11th-century history are remembered. A two-hour drive from the capital city of Reykjavik, south Iceland is home to Vatnajokull Glacier, the 60-meter (197-foot) Skogafoss Waterfall and amazing fresh seafood. (Though you could probably skip the fermented shark ...) No matter where you visit, there's probably a geothermal swimming pool or hot spring spa to soak your weary bones after a long day of exploring. And when you get back to the capital, note that the renowned annual Reykjavik Art Festival will take place from May 17 through June 7. 3. Denmark . Never mind that Denmark lost the top spot this year and is now the third-happiest country in the world. Looking at all that Danes have to be happy about, you won't notice the slight dip while you're enjoying jazz at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July, hanging out with the hipsters at Queen Louise's Bridge, taking a canal tour or playing beach volleyball in front of the Royal Danish Playhouse. Prefer your music in the woods? Head to Smuk Fest ("The Beautiful Festival"), a rock/pop festival in the woods of Skanderborg held in August. Wherever you go, enjoy that Danish tradition of "hygge," sometimes translated too simply as the need for "coziness." It's really a complex sense of intimacy, community and contentment that generally happens with friends and family, and it makes for one happy country. Project Happy: 10 ways to get happy . 4. Norway . The sun never sets in some parts of Norway during the summer months, and the North Cape area is one of the best spots to play when the sun stays out for 24 hours. Visitors love to golf, hike and even run a marathon during the months ruled by the midnight sun. If your taste buds dictate your travels, head to the Norwegian capital city of Oslo, a gastronomic paradise where the Michelin food guide has awarded five stars among four restaurants: Ylajali, Statholdergaarden and Fauna (one star each) and Maeemo (two stars). 5. Canada . Canada combines European style, sensibility and history with the enormous natural wonder of North America. Within the French-speaking province of Quebec, a tour through the historic city of Old Quebec is a treat for any Francophile. Founded in the early 17th century, it's the only North American city north of Mexico that still has its fortifications. The historic district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just a few minutes from downtown Quebec City, Ile d'Orleans is a small island where farming and agriculture are still a way of life. And if nature is what you crave, in less an hour from Québec City, you could be hiking through the Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, home to the glacial Vallée de la Jacques-Cartier. 50 states, 50 spots to get happy around the U.S. 6. Finland . What a happy event to spot the rare Saimaa ringed seal, which adapted to freshwater living after the Ice Age cut off its lake home from the sea. There are only about 300 of them in the world, and they can be found at Lake Saimaa in eastern Finland. But you might have more luck spotting the white whooper swan, Finland's national bird, whose arrival heralds the start of spring. For a more urban experience, visit Helsinki's Market Square and Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma. And you can still spot animals in the capital city: In mid-May, the cows will be herded into the fields in Viikki, a neighborhood in Helsinki, after the long winter. Locals always gather to celebrate this moo-ving event. 7. Netherlands (Holland) Though the Netherlands' tulips are without equal, and they are most stunning at Keukenhof (known as the Garden of Europe), there are so many beautiful spots across the country to walk and bike to welcome spring and its trademark flower. For a more regal celebration, note that the kingdom celebrates its 200th year this year with many festivities. 8. Sweden . In a country that's very fond of celebration, Swedes love to celebrate midsummer, the longest day of the year, most of all. It's a national holiday marked with traditional food and dances around a maypole. Can't make the midsummer parties? There's still plenty to do. Just 20 minutes from the capital city of Stockholm, the Stockholm Archipelago of about 30,000 islands offers endless opportunities for contentment. Swimming, hiking, cycling, fishing, horseback riding -- it's all within your reach by booking a boat ride. (Some boat trips include meals and tours of many of the islands.) 9. New Zealand . New to the top 10 list of happiest countries, New Zealand has plenty of reasons to celebrate. Though it's always been an attractive spot to explore, Peter Jackson choosing the country to host the filming of the "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy has given New Zealand more attention than money could buy. The capital city of Wellington has benefited from the growth of the movie industry, developing a happening restaurant and design scene. And many of the country's natural wonders have gained international attention, including the 2,291-meter (7,516-foot)-high Mount Ngauruhoe, which played the fictional Mount Doom. It's part of Tongariro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 10. Australia . The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest collection of coral reefs, is a natural phenomenon not to be missed. Australians are arguing fiercely over manmade threats to its existence (and no one is happy about that). Once you've had a chance to explore that magical underwater realm, head to the Australian state of Tasmania, an island 240 kilometers (149 miles) off the mainland coast. The Tasmanian Wilderness, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, includes one of the last surviving temperate rainforests in the world. To see the wilderness up close, try hiking the stunning 65-kilometer (40-mile) Overland Track. It takes about six days for hikers (who must book the trip in advance), but day-trippers can take short hikes starting at Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre and Dove Lake.

An Oklahoma woman believes she has secured photographic evidence of the legendary blood-sucking beast, el chupacabra. Vonda Thedford, 55, told Fox News that she was driving along a Pittsburg County rural road earlier this month when she spotted the mysterious carcass lying on the ground. When she stopped to look at the dead creature, she was disturbed to see it had 'a little truck' in place of a nose, 'little toes' and 'hair on its tail'. In a bid to document the unusual-looking beast, she whipped out her camera phone. Scroll down for video . Caught on camera: An Oklahoma woman believes she has secured photographic evidence of the legendary blood sucking beast, el chupacabra (above) The restaurant worker says the images have left people baffled and no-one has been able to identify the bloated and hairless critter. 'I know it's something logical,' Thedford said, 'I know it's not an alien, I know it's not Bigfoot's aborted child, like people are coming up with.' Desperate to unravel the mystery, Thedford revisited the dead animal. As the flesh had rotted away, she took the remaining bones with her. Strange encounter: Vonda Thedford, 55, told Fox News that she was driving along a Pittsburg County rural road earlier this month when she spotted the mysterious carcass lying on the ground . She noted that although the area stunk of death, there were strangely no flies or maggots around. Wildlife experts who studied the skeleton told Fox News the bones appear to be from a young dog. However, Thedford insists she stumbled across something far more sinister. 'I lived a long time in New Mexico and they call it the ‘chupacabra' out there so that's what we've been calling it.' The legend of the chupacabra dates back to 1995 in Puerto Rico, where many local farmers claimed to have seen the animal after finding their livestock had been killed. Left behind: Desperate to unravel the mystery, Thedford revisited the dead animal - as the flesh had rotted away, she took the remaining bones with her. Bizarre discovery: Thedford says the images have left people baffled and no-one has been able to identify the bloated and hairless critter . Explanation: Wildlife experts who studied the skeleton told Fox News they appear to be from a young dog . Sightings of the animal have been reported throughout Mexico and much of the US, particularly in the Southwest, where it is usually determined that suspected chupacabras are just emaciated, sickly coyotes. The description of the chupacabra varies, but typically those who claim to see the animal describe it as being about the size of a small bear, with a row of spines along its back. In 2004, a rancher near San Antonio killed a supposed chupacabra that he claimed had been killing his livestock. DNA from the animal later revealed that it was a coyote with demodectic or sarcoptic mange. In a dozen other cases where the suspected chupacabra's body has been discovered, DNA testing showed that the animal was some sort of wild canine with severe skin disorders, particularly mange. LEGEND OF EL CHUPACABRA . The word comes from two Spanish words - 'chupar', to suck, and 'cabra', goat. The first reported sighting was in 1995, when eight sheep were found dead in Puerto Rico with identical puncture wounds to the chest and completely drained of blood. Thus, the legend of the livestock killing, vampire-like chupacabra was born. Since then, the legendary beast has been spotted across the Americas and even the world. A Mexican incident where 35 sheep were found mysteriously dead was blamed on El Chupacabra in 2012. Earlier this year, yet another Mississippi sighting came when a Leake County man actually shot and killed what he claimed was El Chupacabra. Even a Belarusian town had a Chupacabra sighting this past July . SCIENCE ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN . Scientists often speculate that hairless creatures believed to be El Chupacabra are actually wildlife like coyotes, foxes, and stray dogs infested with parasites. Most commonly pointed to is the parasite Sarcoptes scabiei, which causes mange. Mange is a painful, potentially life threatening condition which can cause complete hair loss in mammals and can also cause their skin to shrivel, making for an even more ghoulish looking beast. In humans, Sarcoptes scabiei causes scabies and a consequent itchy, painful rash as the parasites burrow around, leaving their feces under the skin. 'Goat sucker': The legend of El Chupacabra likely originates from a 1995 case in Puerto Rico where 8 sheep were found dead with puncture wounds. It has been described as hairless, or as having spines along its back, and as having blue or red eyes .

Vonda Thedford, 55, said she was driving along a Pittsburg County rural road earlier this month when she spotted the mysterious carcass . When she stopped to look at the dead creature, she was disturbed to see it had 'a little truck' in place of a nose, 'little toes' and 'hair on its tail' The restaurant worker says the images have left people baffled and no-one has been able to identify the bloated and hairless critter .

Wolf Hall writer Hilary Mantel's award-winning second novel Bring Up The Bodies has been renamed for the American stage. The bestselling author, who once pledged not to dumb down her work ahead of its BBC debut, has revised the theatrical adaptation of her Tudor novels for a run on Broadway. In preparation, the title of her second book Bring Up the Bodies has been ditched in favour of the simpler 'Wolf Hall II'. Booker Prize award-winner Mantel, who has been reworking Mike Poulton's stage version, has also cut 'a lot of repetition' to create a tighter, better play. Scroll down for video . The bestselling author has revised the theatrical adaptation of her Tudor novels for a run on Broadway (pictured is Ben Miles as Thomas Cromwell and Lydia Leonard as Anne Boleyn) With more than 1,000 pages of historical drama, the story of the rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell - who goes from a Blacksmith's son to one of the most powerful men in Tudor court - was never a simple read. The plays, produced by the Royal Shakespeare company and London's Playful Productions, will open at the Winter Garden Theatre in Times Square tomorrow and features the original British cast as well as director Jermey Herrin. And Mantel is convinced it will be a hit on Broadway. Warning: Hilary Mantel said she believed that the Broadway version of her books will be a hit . The British cast, including Miles as Thomas Cromwell and Paul Jesson as Cardinal Wolsey, will be going over to the U.S. as they prepare for the Broadway adaption which opens tomorrow . Nathaniel Parker, who won an Olivier award for his role as Henry VIII in the stage version of Wall Hall, told the Evening Standard: 'The play is better now than it was in London. 'Hilary has had a go at re-working it and she's cut a lot of repetition out and brought in her own words. 'I think audiences will love it.' The story was recently brought to the small screen in the BBC adaption starring Damian Lewis as Henry VIII and Mark Rylance as his adviror Thomas Cromwell. The mini-series received rave reviews when it aired earlier this year, and was dubbed BBC 2's most successful drama in a decade after drawing in four million viewers. Critics praised its story, acting and historical accuracy as makers went to such great lengths to recreate the Tudor period they used only candlelight to illuminate night-time scenes, filmed on location using special cameras. Actor Damian Lewis played Henry VIII in the hit television adaptation on BBC of Mantel's award-winning story . Mantel, who saw sales of her books boosted by the adaptation, had said ahead of the BBC version that she refused to 'dumb down' to suit a broad television audience. The author had warned the adaption was 'complex', and she would not reduce it to 'clichés and over-simplifications'. The plays, written by Mike Poulton, sold out at Stratford-upon-Avon and quickly transferred to London, where they received critical raves, broke box office records and triumphed as the West End's biggest hit plays. Reprising their performances from the London production, Ben Miles as Cromwell, Nathaniel Parker as Henry VIII and Lydia Leonard as Anne Boleyn will be going over to Broadway. Mantel is currently writing her third novel in the Cromwell trilogy titled The Mirror and The Light.

Until a few days ago, the closest Danny Willett could come to playing Augusta National was on a simulator at Doncaster Golf Range, where he also gained his first experience of Doral before last month's WGC-Cadillac Championship. And considering the 27-year-old Yorkshireman finished joint 12th following a closing round of 68 on the Blue Monster, perhaps it is not too fanciful to suggest Willett could become the first Masters debutant to slip on the green jacket since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. 'I've always said if you're not going to go to an event and be fully prepared to try to win, there is no point going,' Willett said. Danny Willett is aiming to become the first debutant to win The Masters since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979 . Willett insists he is preparing to emerge victorious in the first Major of 2015 . Fuzzy Zoeller won on his Augusta debut in 1979 and Willett is looking to emulate his achievements . 'You don't pitch up to try to finish 15th, 30th or just try to make the cut; you try to go and win regardless of the field or whatever. If you can't do that I don't know what your own long-term goal is. I have my own idea of where I want to be and it's not finishing mid-pack.' A certain Rory McIlroy might have something to say about such lofty ambitions next week, but Willett is very well aware of what the world number one is capable of from their amateur days. The pair met in the first round of the Amateur Championship in 2007 and it was Willett who was five up after six holes before eventually sealing victory on the 17th. Later that year they were on the same team in the Walker Cup as Great Britain and Ireland lost out at Royal County Down to an American team featuring Rickie Fowler, Billy Horschel, Dustin Johnson and Webb Simpson. 'That was a long time ago now, both of our games have changed since then so hopefully we can be on the same team in Ryder Cups and I can beat him a few more times,' Willett added. 'I think I was the last person to beat him as an amateur before he turned pro. He's a very difficult person to beat right now on a golf course. It's pretty phenomenal golf he's playing. 'If you finish one place in front of Rory in most events you're going to do all right. He's going to be the man to beat around Augusta. If he doesn't win it this year I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he does.' Willett swapped the simulator for the real thing before heading to Texas to play in the Shell Houston Open and was understandably excited by the prospect. 'Gym time before typing magnolia lane into the sat nav!!! Boom!!' was one post on Twitter, followed afterwards by: 'Well that first experience at Augusta can only be described as awesome!!' The two-time European Tour winner added: 'The first one is always special. I remember the first Open that I played and there is a different feel about majors. I think the Masters is going to feel more different still. 'Obviously the Open is close to your heart as your home major but the Masters always has that air of being just a little bit special. I'm going to try and treat it as a normal week in terms of I'm going there to try and compete with all the guys I have played against for the last six years, try not to make it too much of an ordeal but at the same time appreciate what you've achieved to get there and actually enjoy it.' To that end Willett and his friends and family will be renting two houses in Augusta for the week, while his wife Nicole will be carrying his bag in the traditional par-three contest on Wednesday. 'My wife was born on the Sunday that Sandy Lyle won (in 1988) so that could be an omen,' Willett joked. Before the fun of the par-three contest Willett will look to pick the brains of the likes of stablemate Lee Westwood in practice, the former world number one having finished in the top 10 in each of the last three years and second in 2010. Willett (left) would postpone Rory McIlroy's career grand slam hopes if he produced a surprise win . Willett is renting two houses in Augusta with his wife and family for the week in Augusta . But he will also take plenty of confidence from his victory in the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa last December, when he finished with rounds of 65 and 66 to overturn a five-shot deficit to another former world number one in Luke Donald. 'The win there is more for your own inward confidence that regardless of where you are, you can draw on experiences where you were really under pressure and had to hit a certain golf shot and that week I stood up and did it almost every time,' said Willett, who remains top of the Race to Dubai ahead of McIlroy. 'I played fantastic, especially on Sunday. We played very aggressive like we did all week, didn't change the game plan and kept smashing it with driver off the tee to get shorter irons in and that made it difficult when we got in front for people to catch us.'

27-year-old Danny Willett will make his debut at The Masters next week . Willett insists he is not competing to make up the numbers . Willett is a two-time winner on The European Tour .

Javier Hernandez would have been in no doubt how important his decisive goal for Real Madrid was in the Champions League quarter-final against city rivals Atletico Madrid after the entrance the squad made to the Santiago Bernabeu. French defender Raphael Varane uploaded an astonishing video to Twitter of the fire-hot arrival Madrid's players were given from their supporters, who mobbed the team coach and banged on the windows in support and anticipation. 'Live from the bus before the match! A huge thank you for your support,' Varane wrote with the video. VIDEO - Scroll down to see Real Madrid's welcoming from their fans .

(CNN)The next time you fly to see Grandma in Florida, look down. The next time you take the kids on a pilgrimage to see the talking mouse or head down to South Beach for some sun/sin, get a window seat and spend the moments before landing contemplating the seemingly endless swamp below. Because there are few places that represent the folly of man -- and the cost of redemption -- like the Everglades. On approach into Miami or Orlando, it just looks like squishy wasteland full of things that want to hurt you: snakes and scorpions, rats and roaches, gators and mosquitoes. (A researcher once caught 365,000 bloodthirsty bugs in a single trap in a single night.) As you drive along the Tamiami Trail, it just looks like endless sawgrass, the kind that feels like walking through broken glass. "Too wet to farm, too dry to sail, too unpredictable to settle," as Michael Grunwald put it in his definitive history, "The Swamp." And so, a century ago, some American dreamers decided to drain the swamp. They decided to conquer that uninhabitable frontier known as Florida. And long before air conditioning, bug spray and Social Security helped seal that vision, the Army Corps of Engineers blasted and dug 2,000 miles of dams and dikes, ditches and pipes. They did a hell of a job. A watershed built for 2 million people now supports nearly 8 million, and another 50 million tourists each year. But what they didn't know is that without this swamp, there can be no "good life" in Florida. There can be no life. After a century of development, half the Everglades is dead and the other half is on life support. This is a problem, not just for the gators and snakes. It is a problem for the eagles, panthers, snails, dolphins, hawks, manatees, flamingos, vase sponges, black bears and ghost orchids that make up the most unique, diverse wetlands in the world. And most of all, it is a problem for people. Because most of the drinking water in South Florida comes from the aquifers beneath the Everglades. This 2 million-acre river of grass is not only the best form of hurricane protection, it also supports the multibillion-dollar fishing, shrimping and crabbing industries around the Florida Keys. What was once a slow-moving river of gin-clear water became so sluggish and toxic in the 1990s that most of the life in Florida Bay was wiped out -- and America woke up. Fifteen years after then-Gov. Jeb Bush smiled as Bill Clinton signed the most ambitious wildlife reclamation plan in history, the same Army Corps of Engineers that was ordered to rip the Everglades apart is now under orders to help it heal, to the tune of $13 billion as part of a larger congressional restoration plan. That story hook is what drew me here for the final episode of our first season of "The Wonder List." To be honest, as a veteran of a few ho-hum airboat rides, I came with really low expectations. But this place, more than any other this season, surprised me with sublime beauty, great stories and a sense of real urgency as good people try to right the wrongs of the past. Nowhere else is the border between bustling civilization and untamed wilderness so narrow, which is why conservationists like to say that the Everglades is a test. If we pass, we might just get to keep the planet.

The Everglades were drained a century ago and are now being restored . "The Wonder List" season finale takes places in the Everglades .

Nasa claims we'll find aliens in the next 10 to 20 years – and now the agency is revving up its efforts to track them down. The group has put together a team of 'extraterrestrial experts' to see if any of the planets discovered outside our solar system are habitable. And it says that amateur astronomers could help with its 'unprecedented' search for ET by accessing research data online. Scroll down for video . The Nexss team, includes those who study Earth as a life-bearing planet (lower right), those researching the diversity of solar system planets (left), and those on the new frontier, discovering worlds orbiting other stars in the galaxy (upper right) The initiative, dubbed Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (Nexss), will include scientists from 10 universities including Stanford, the University of California and Yale. The study of exoplanets is a relatively new field, and began with the discovery of the first exoplanet around a star like our sun in 1995. Since the launch of the Kepler space telescope six years ago, more than 1,000 exoplanets have been found, with thousands of additional candidates waiting to be confirmed. Nasa has set up a website for the public called Planet Hunters which allows anyone to search the data gathered by Kepler, which launched six years ago. Scientists are also developing new ways to confirm the habitability of these worlds and search for biosignatures, or signs of life. During a talk last month, Nasa said humanity will encounter extra-terrestrials within a decade. 'I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years,' said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for Nasa, (pictured) at a Washington panel discussion . By applying a 'system science' approach, the team hopes to understand an alien planet's biology interacts with the atmosphere, geology, oceans, and interior of a planet. The announcement comes just weeks after Nasa's top scientist predicted we could be on the verge of finding life on one of them. During a talk in Washington last month, the space agency announced that humanity is likely to encounter extra-terrestrials within a decade. Alien hunters from the University of Berkeley, California and Stanford are tasked with answering the question: 'What are the properties of exoplanetary systems, as they relate to their formation, evolution, and potential to harbour life?' They will combine astronomical observations of exoplanets and forming planetary systems with powerful computer simulations and cutting-edge microscopic studies of meteorites. The team from Arizona State University in Phoenix will take a similar approach. This research group will place planetary habitability in a chemical context, with the goal of producing a 'periodic table of planets.' Researchers from Hampton University, Virginia, will be exploring the sources and sinks for volatiles on habitable worlds. This research will help determine the past and present habitability of Mars and even Venus. The team centered at Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies will investigate habitability on a more local scale. It will examine the habitability of solar system rocky planets through time. The team from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, will design new spectrometers - optical instruments that measure the spectrum of light - with the stability to reach Earth-detecting precision for nearby stars. A group led the University of Nebraska-Kearney will explore the existence and evolution of exospheres around exoplanets, the outer, 'unbound' portion of a planet's atmosphere. From the University of California, Santa Cruz, a group will investigate how novel maths equations can be used to extract information from light that is emitted and reflected by planetary atmospheres. 'I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years,' Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for Nasa, said. 'We know where to look, we know how to look, and in most cases we have the technology.' Jeffery Newmark, interim director of heliophysics at the agency, added: 'It's definitely not an if, it's a when.' 'We are not talking about little green men,' Stofan said. 'We are talking about little microbes.' The announcement was prompted by the recent discovery of water by Nasa in surprising places. Jim Green, director of planetary science at Nasa, noted that a recent study of the Martian atmosphere found 50 per cent of the planet's northern hemisphere once had oceans a mile deep. Scientists using the Hubble recently provided powerful evidence that Jupiter's moon Ganymede (pictured) has a saltwater, sub-surface ocean, likely sandwiched between two layers of ice . The same study found that water had been present on the red planet for up to 1.2 billion year. 'We think that long period of time is necessary for life to get more complex,' Stofan said. Nasa associate administrator John Grunsfeld said he is excited about seeing what form life beyond Earth may take. In their hunt for alien life, astronomers have so far focused on looking for Earth-like planets around smaller, cooler suns. But these exoplanets - despite having a chance of holding water - are believed to be locked in a rotation around their sun which causes only one side of their surface face the star. Now astronomers claim that such exoplanets actually rotate around their stars, and spin at such a speed that they exhibit a day-night cycle similar to Earth – increasing the chance of finding alien life. Planets with potential oceans could have a climate that is much more similar to Earth's than previously expected,' said Jérémy Leconte, a postdoctoral fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) at the University of Toronto. 'If we are correct, there is no permanent, cold night side on exoplanets causing water to remain trapped in a gigantic ice sheet,' he said. 'Whether this new understanding of exoplanets' climate increases the ability of these planets to develop life remains an open question.' 'Once we get beyond Mars, which formed from the same stuff as Earth, the likelihood that life is similar to what we find on this planet is very low,' he said. 'I think we're one generation away in our solar system, whether it's on an icy moon or on Mars, and one generation [away] on a planet around a nearby star. At the same conference last year, Nasa Administrator Charles Bolden made a more conservative estimate. He claimed that we will find life within the next 20 years - with a high chance it will be outside our solar system. Nasa next Mars rover, scheduled to launch in 2020, will search for signs of past life and bring samples for a possible return to Earth for analysis. Nasa also hopes to land astronauts on Mars in the 2030s, which Stofan says is crucial key to the search for Mars life. 'I'm a field geologist; I go out and break open rocks and look for fossils,' Stofan said. 'Those are hard to find. 'So I have a bias that it's eventually going to take humans on the surface of Mars — field geologists, astrobiologists, chemists — actually out there looking for that good evidence of life that we can bring back to Earth for all the scientists to argue about.' The space agency is also planning a mission to Europa, which may launch as early as 2022. It hopes to find out whether the icy moon is habitable. Meanwhile, the agency's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will launch in 2018 to scope out the atmospheres of nearby 'super-Earth' alien planets. New Horizons took this image of the icy moon Europa rising above Jupiter's cloud tops. The space agency is planning a mission to Europa, which may launch as early as 2022, to find out whether the moon is habitable .

We all need a helping hand sometimes, and nobody more so than Kecil the baby orangutan, who had a tough start to life after his natural mother and another surrogate mother rejected him. But the one-year-old ape found love at the third time of asking with second surrogate mother Maggie at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo, and has today been pictured cuddling up to the experienced mother ahead of his first public outing this weekend. Maggie, 53, who has already raised one surrogate child, has proved herself yet again by helping to raise Kecil (pronounced Ka-cheel) for the past 10 months, and the two now have an inseparable bond. Scroll down for video . Taking care: Maggie, 53, wraps a protective arm around Kecil the baby orangutan who she has been raising for the past ten months after his mother and a surrogate mother both rejected him . Inseparable: Zookeepers were nervous that Maggie might reject Kecil after raising four of her own children and another surrogate which was given to her in 2002, but she has proved her parenting prowess once again . When the pair appeared in front of news crews earlier today, Kecil began crying after losing sight of Maggie for a few moments. But the elder orangutan quickly returned, at which point Kecil quietened down and scooted over to join her, reports the Chicago Sun Times. Kecil had to be moved from his birthplace at Toledo zoo, in Ohio, 14 months ago after his natural mother failed to bond with him properly after birth. He was moved to Milwaukee County Zoo and given to a second surrogate, but she did not form a bond with him either. In a final attempt to find a parent for Kecil, he was handed over to Maggie, the oldest orangutan in North America, who has already raised four children of her own, and a fifth surrogate which was given to her in 2002. The pair immediately showed signs of intimacy, but zookeepers still faced a tense wait to see if the elderly orangutan would take on full parental duties. Nava Greenblatt, one of the zoo’s lead primate keepers, said that the turning point came when a fire alarm sounded at the zoo a few weeks ago, frightening Kecil, who ran to Maggie and cuddle up to her. Turning point: Keepers in Chicago said the turning point for Kecil came a few weeks ago when a fire alarm went off on the zoo, frightening him. Usually he turned to people for comfort, but instead he ran and cuddled up to Maggie . Big day: After settling into his new enclosure, Kecil will go on display for the first time this weekend in two hours slots between 10am and midday, allowing him to nap in the afternoons . Getting into the swing of things: Keepers said when Kecil and Maggie were first put into their new enclosure, the older ape would wander too far ahead, and Kecil would get lost, but the pair have now learned to stick close to one another . She said: 'Initially when he would be feeling insecure he would turn to people, and then there was a shift where he would turn to Maggie if he felt insecure. That was a big milestone. He really needs her to learn how to be an orangutan.' The pair will eventually become part of an exhibit featuring the zoo's four other orangutans, but at the moment they are living in isolation, as would be the case in the wild. Kecil will be on display on Saturday and Sunday at Brookfield Zoo's Tropic World Asia enclosure between 10am and midday. The other orangutans will be allowed into the enclosure around those times to help them acclimatise as well. Hanging out: The pair will eventually become part of an exhibit featuring the zoo's four other orangutans, but at the moment they are living in isolation, as would be the case in the wild . Happy monkey: Keepers said: 'On his first day out he was wide eyed and a bit amazed. He stayed close to Maggie and whimpered if she moved too far away. We saw many joyful reunions those first few days as they separated and found one another again'

Kecil the one-year-old orangutan was taken to Chicago zoo after being rejected by his mother and surrogate mother . He was eventually given to Maggie, 53, who had already raised four children of her own and another surrogate . Keepers were concerned pair might not bond, but ten months later they have formed an inseparable connection . Kecil will go on display for the first time this weekend alongside his mother, but only for two hours at a time .

It is the smallest computer in the world - and 150 of them can fit in a thimble. Called the Michigan Micro Mote, to tiny technology is a complete computer system. Its inventors say it can act as a smart sensor, and give everyday objects computing capabilities. The Michigan Micro Mote is the smallest computer in the world, measuring less than 2mm across. The Michigan Micro Mote contains solar cells that power the battery with ambient light, including indoor rooms with no natural sunlight, allowing the computers to run perpetually. This line of 'smart dust' devices includes computers equipped with imagers (with motion detection), temperature sensors, and pressure sensors. By strobing light at a high frequency, the operator is able to send information to the computer. Once the Micro Mote processes the data, it is able to send the information to a central computer via conventional radio frequencies. The Michigan Micro Mote is the first complete, operational computer system measuring as small as two millimeters across. 'To be 'complete,' a computer system must have an input of data, the ability to process that data - meaning process and store it, make decisions about what to do next – and ultimately, the ability to output the data.' Professor David Blaauw explained. 'The sensors are the input and the radios are the output. The other key to being a complete computer is the ability to supply its own power.' The Michigan Micro Mote contains solar cells that power the battery with ambient light, including indoor rooms with no natural sunlight, allowing the computers to run perpetually. This line of 'smart dust' devices includes computers equipped with imagers (with motion detection), temperature sensors, and pressure sensors. They are the culmination of work initiated by Blaauw and Sylvester on very low-power processing for millimeter-scale systems. A key breakthrough in the size/power matchup came with the Phoenix processor in 2008. The Phoenix processor is miniscule at 915 x 915µm2, and boasts ultra-low operating voltage and a unique standby mode that results in an average power consumption of only 500pW. (Consider that 1pW is the average power consumption of a single human cell.) Blaauw explained why Phoenix's extreme energy efficiency is so important: 'As you shrink down in size, the percentage of the system tends to be dominated by the battery. 'It's actually not hard to make chips small, but it is hard to make them low power. 'We could have very small chips, but we'd still end up with really large batteries.' This line of 'smart dust' devices includes computers equipped with imagers (with motion detection), temperature sensors, and pressure sensors. One key application for this line of smart sensors lies in personal security and information, its inventors say. The solar system allows the computer to work  under indoor lights without ever having to be charged. 'With a 1mm2 solar cell producing 20nW, the device can harvest enough energy under ambient light to run perpetually,' the team say. The device's standby power consumption is 2nA. That's about a million times less power than the average mobile phone consumes while on standby, or the comparative difference between the thickness of a sheet of paper and the length of a football field. There are currently three different systems in the M3 family, focusing on several different applications: sensing temperature, pressure, and taking images. 'Down the road we want these sensors to be able to talk to one another,' says Blaauw, 'and we're currently working to extend their range to about 20m.' The working computer is smaller than a grain of rice programmed and charged via light and could be used for a variety of medical and industrial purposes. One key application for this line of smart sensors lies in personal security and information. Numerous specks of technology could be discretely placed to invisibly monitor a home, business, or personal device. 'We found that a lot of people were very interested in these devices, and that's why we went with the modular or stacked approach.' Blaauw explained. 'It's the key aspect of our design. If you need a different sensing modality you take out one sensor and replace it with another - like mix and match tinker toys.'

Michigan Micro Mote is a complete computer system less that 5mm across . Contains solar cells that power the battery with ambient light . Can be equipped with cameras, temperature and pressure sensors .

(CNN)Beer and ice cream. It doesn't exactly spring to mind when you think of classic food pairings -- old friends such as bacon and eggs or steak and cabernet. But Colorado's New Belgium Brewery and the folks at Ben & Jerry's are teaming up on a beer inspired by ice cream -- salted caramel brownie ice cream, to be precise. "At this time I can confirm that Ben & Jerry's and New Belgium are collaborating to raise awareness around issues we are passionate about, and that the results will be delicious," New Belgium's Director of Sustainability, Jenn Vervier, said in a statement. Both companies have a history of social activism, and the new project will be no different, they say. Their release doesn't say what the campaign will be all about, but Ben & Jerry's Senior Global Marketing Manager Jay Curley promises it will be "impactful." "We're big fans of New Belgium Brewery, their values, and their fun culture, and of course their beer," he said. "We're excited for the campaign we've developed together." The companies will announce the details later this year, and the beer is set to hit shelves in the fall. New Belgium and Ben & Jerry's are both what are called "B Corporations," a certification issued by the private non-profit B Labs to companies that meet its social, environmental, accountability and transparency standards. New Belgium supports sustainable agriculture, climate change and other initiatives, while Ben & Jerry's -- now a subsidiary of global conglomerate Unilever -- stays true to its hippie roots with support for environmental initiatives, fair trade efforts, marriage equality and more. Last month, Ben & Jerry's cofounder Ben Cohen said he'd be open to the idea of a marijuana-infused ice cream someday, news that set pot fans ablaze. But sadly for beer fans, there's no talk of a beer-flavored ice cream. Not yet anyway.

New Belgium Brewery will make a beer inspired by Ben & Jerry's ice cream . It will be called "Salted Caramel Brownie"

Anaesthetic gases used to send patients to sleep during surgery are accumulating in the Earth's atmosphere where they are contributing to climate change. Scientists say they have detected the gases used in anaesthetic as far a field as Antarctica and concentrations have been rising globally in the past decade. The gases - desflurane, isoflurane and sevoflurane - are potent greenhouse gases that have 2,500 times the impact on global warming compared to carbon dioxide. Anaesthetic is used to send patients to sleep during surgery (above) but it may also be warming the planet . Atmospheric scientists who have been monitoring the gases say that while the concentrations in the atmosphere are low, they are having an increasing effect on the climate. Dr Martin Vollmer, who led the study at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Material Science and Technology in Dubendorf, Switzerland, said the anaesthetic gases were capable of storing far more energy from the sun than carbon dioxide. The world needs to prepare itself for a rapid increase in the speed of climate change, scientists have warned. Researchers have found evidence that suggests the rate at which temperatures are rising in the northern hemisphere could be 0.25°C per decade by 2020 - a level not seen for at least 1,000 years. The analysis, based on a combination of data from more than two dozen climate simulation models from around the world, looked at the rate of change in 40-year long time spans. Over the 900 years preceding the 20th century, 40-year warming trends rarely showed an average rate much higher than 0.1°C per decade, the study found. But by 2020 the rate was expected to have risen to an average of 0.25°C per decade, give or take 0.05°C. Different scenarios of future emissions showed that even at the lower end of greenhouse gas generation climate change picked up speed in the next 40 years. He said: 'On a kilogram-per-kilogram basis, it's so much more poten . 'Modern halogenated inhalation anesthetics undergo little metabolisation during clinical application and evaporate almost completely to the atmosphere.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, found that concentrations of desflurane reached 0.30 parts per trillion in 2014. Isoflurane, sevoflurane and halothane have reached 0.097, 0.13 and 0.0092 parts per trillion in the atmosphere respectively. By comparison, carbon dioxide gas currently makes up 400 parts per million in the atmosphere. However, one kilogram (2.2lbs) of desflurane produces the same greenhouse effect as 2,500 kg (5,512lbs) of carbon dioxide. The researchers estimate that anaesthetic gas emissions currently combine to produce the equivalent effect in the atmosphere of 3.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. The research team did not examine the impact of nitrous oxide, another major component of anaesthetic, as it is released by many other sources. The researchers have been taking air samples from remote sites around the Northern Hemisphere since 2000 while they have also obtained air samples in the North Pacific and the South Shetland Islands in Antarctic. The gases escape through vents in operating rooms (pictured) when breathed out by patients and from masks . The team also used two hourly measurements at a high altitude observatory at Jungfraujoch, Switzerland since 2013 to track anaesthetic gases. They then used computer modelling to produce global estimates for the concentrations of these gases. The gases escape from hospital operating rooms via air vents during surgery. An estimated 280 tonnes of anaesthetic gases are used every year. Jodi Sherman, an anaesthesiologist at Yale University who reviewed the paper, said hospitals should consider using other chemicals in anaesthetic. She said: 'There's nothing unique about desflurane that we can't do with other drugs. 'Desflurane we could live without, and every little bit makes a difference. 'Health care in and of itself in the US is one of the worst polluting industries. Scientists say that hospitals should consider alternative anaesthetics when performing operations like above . 'It generates eight percent of US greenhouse gases according to one study. 'Add to this the fact that climate change has been recognized by the World Health Organization as the number one health issue of the 21st century, and it behooves us to do a better job with emissions.' However, Edmond Eger, an anaethesiologist at the University of California San Francisco, said: 'What the report fails to note is that a major factor determining the environmental effect is the manner in which the anesthetics are used. 'Many anesthetists deliver sevoflurane or isoflurane in a two - three liters per minute flow but deliver desflurane in a lower flow - 0.5 to one liter per minute. 'Some believe that desflurane has clinical advantages that argue for its continued use.'

Gases used in anaesthetic in are accumulating in the Earth's atmopshere . The gases - desflurane, isoflurane and sevoflurane - have a greenhouse effect that is 2,500 times more potent than carbon dioxide, say scientists . New study finds their concentrations are relatively low but are increasing . Scientists urge hospitals to find more environmentally friendly alternatives .

Chelsea midfielder Oscar hopes that winning the Premier League title this season can kick-start a period of dominance in English football for the Blues. Jose Mourinho's side are 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who they play at the weekend, and Brazil international Oscar has aspirations of further success in the coming seasons. 'Hopefully, yes. This squad is really young and we've been playing together for a long time,' he told Goal. 'We are improving as the time goes by. This is good for the players and for the club. We know each others' movements on the pitch. Oscar (right) hopes that Chelsea winning the Premier League can kick-start a period of dominance in England . The Blues have already won the Capital One Cup this season and are close to securing the league title . 'We know we are very close to the title but there are some challenges ahead,' he added. 'If we manage to lift this trophy and keep this level of performance we certainly will do some other good seasons like this one.'

A trim 120-pound mother-of-four set a new world record this weekend and earned $6,000 in prize money after downing three 72-ounce steak dinners in just 20 minutes. Competitive eater Mary Schuyler accomplished the stunning feat in front of hundreds at the Big Texan Steak Ranch restaurant in Amarillo, Texas on Sunday. Schuyler is such a champ that the four teams of two that competed against her didn't even come close to winning - even though they were allowed to split their dinners. Scroll down for video . Winner, winner, steak dinner: Molly Schuyler won the 72-ounce steak dinner challenge at the Big Texan Steack Ranch restaurant in Amarillo, Texas on Sunday . Fast eater: The 120-pound mother-of-four ate three steak dinners - complete with sides - in just 20 minutes . Worth it: For breaking the record for quickest steak dinner eaten and for finishing her three meals in under an hour, Schuyler took home a grand total of $6,000 . In addition to the three massive 72-ounce steaks, competitors also had to eat three baked potatoes, three shrimp cocktails, three salads and three rolls for a whopping 15 pounds of food. While that might sound daunting to most, Schuyler was confident that she would beat out the other competitors with her experience. 'They would have had to eat their half in like four minutes,' Schuyler told the Amarillo Globe-News. 'If you’re not used to doing this, four minutes is hard.' Filling: The dinner included three 72-ounce steaks, three shrimp cocktails, three baked potatoes, three salads and three rolls . Champion: Though her competitors were allowed to tackle the challenge in teams of two, none came close to winning the competition . She cleaned her plate: Schuyler poses with a fan after the feat, showing off her belly bloated from the competition . However, she was a bit nervous about tackling a three steak dinners since she ate just two when she competed at the restaurant last year. 'I come in thinking I'm going to fail, but you know if I win it's a lovely parting gift and that's cool,' she told KFDA-TV. 'I also get free steak so I don't really lose.' As the competition began, Schuyler covered up with a pair of sunglasses and put up her sweatshirt hood to focus on the task at hand and finished her first steak in just four minutes and 18 seconds - beating the previous record she set last year of four minutes and 48 seconds. Hundreds cheered her on below the competition table set up side the restaurant on a sunny day, as Schuyler ripped her way through the steaks. Competitors had an hour to finish their $72 dinners, in order to get them for free, but Schuyler cleaned her plates in a cool 20. And with enough time to spare, Schuyler tried attacking a fourth steak but had to stop, saying she was tired of the taste. Schuyler was born and raised in Nebraska and currently residents in Sacramento California. Before her competitive food eating life, she worked as a bartender and server at Applebee’s. In August 2012, Schuyler entered her first competitive eating competition, becoming the first woman to finish the Stellanator at Stella Bar in Omaha, Nebraska. The Stellanator includes six hamburger patties, six eggs, six pieces of cheese, six pieces of bacon topped with fried onions, jalapenos, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, two buns and mayonnaise. Another to add to the trophy cabinet: Schuyler pictured above winning the Z-Burger contest in Washington, DC last July. During the competition she ate 24 hamburgers in ten minutes . Since then, Schuyler has been competing regularly in food eating competitions - including one weekend in 2014 when she competed in FOUR food competitions. On January 31, 2014, Schuyler won Wing Bowl 22 in Philadelphia, by eating 363 wings. The next day, she competed in and won both the IHOP Pancake bowl and the bacon-eating contest at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival in Des Moines. She finished out the weekend by taking on the Adam Emmenecker Challenge at Jethro’s Barbecue. Schuyler first took on the Emmenecker challenge in December 2012, when she became the first woman to complete the meal that includes a spicy pickle, bun, pork tenderloin, buffalo chicken tenders, white cheddar sauce, fried cheese cubes, Texas brisket, applewood smoked bacon, cheeseburger and a pound of waffle fries...in just 15 minutes. Dessert: Schuyler guzzles down 12 pounds of rice pudding in three minutes to set a new world record last year . Hero: Last year Mrs Schuyler smashed another record by demolishing a 12-pound sandwich, one pound of French fries and a large soda as part of the Mad Greek Deli Challenge in Portland, Oregon . Schuyler started the competition at her normal 120 pounds, but by the time she was crowned winner, she had gained 15 pounds and her stomach noticeably filled out. Her physique was quite a contrast to the larger men who decided to take her on in the eating competition including a team of two professional wrestlers and two members of the Amarillo Venum indoor football team. For setting the record for fastest eaten steak dinner, Schuyler won $1,000 and another $5,000 for completing the challenge in less than an hour. What's more - Schuyler says she plans to come back next year and break her record, upping the ante to four steaks instead of three. Bobby Lee, the co-owner of the Big Texas, says the restaurant was floored by her performance and that they'll be submitting her record to Guinness. 'We've been doing this contest since 1960, and in all that time we've never had anybody come in to actually eat that many steaks at one time- so this is a first for us and after 55 years of it, it's a big deal,' Lee told ABC 7. Schuyler started competing in eating competition in August 2012, and has broken several records during her brief career. In January 2014, she set ate 363 wings in just 20 minutes, earning $22,000 prize for that competition.

Molly Schuyler won the 72-ounce steak dinner challenge at Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas on Sunday . The mother of four from California weighs just 120 pounds, but after the dinner she weighed in at 135 pounds . She said she plans to return next year to beat her record and up the ante to four steaks .

Furious parents have launched a campaign to overturn a primary school headteacher's decision to ban all drinks except water during the school day. Headteacher Linda Shute has banned children from consuming drinks - including tea, coffee, fruit juice and soft drinks - in a bid to protect the long-term health of pupils at Rowdown Primary School in New Addington, south London. But some parents believe the water-only rule is too strict, claiming many children go all day without a drink because they do not like water. Scroll down for video . A headteacher is forcing primary school pupils to only drink water during the school day after banning all other drinks, including fruit juice . Samantha Moore, who launched the petition, said: 'As a mother, I have the right to choose what my son drinks.' Another campaigner, Anela, from Croydon, added: 'They should be able to drink whatever they want and not just water because some kids don't like water.' Mrs Shute, who announced her aims by enforcing the rule in a school newsletter last month, said: 'The water-only policy is being very well supported by parents and children. 'Thank you for this and know in your hearts, if you have any doubts, this policy is for the long-term health of all your children.' But her move provoked a backlash from some, who branded it a 'joke'. Alan Fay said: 'It's about time that schools started looking after the kids again and stop just doing what is told by the powers above.' Gemma Irwin, from New Addington, added : 'I believe that it should be up to the parent what their child drinks. 'If teachers are allowed tea and coffee, why can't a child have a bottle of juice or flavoured water?' But the school has defended its decision. The rule has been enforced to protect the long-term health of pupils at Rowdown Primary School (pictured) in New Addington, south London . It follows a similar ban which sparked anger at Valence Primary School in Dagenham, east London, when it was introduced in January last year. Headteacher Elizabeth Chaplin brought in the new rule as part of a 'health drive' and drinks other than water were poured down the sink. In June last year, children at Carlton Central Infants' School in Nottingham, were barred from drinking fruit squash - a measure opposed by some parents. Tam Fry, chairman of the Child Growth Foundation and spokesman for the National Obesity Forum, is among campaigners who have pushed for healthy drink options in schools. He has praised schools that clamp down on sugar-filled juices, which he believes should be limited to one small glass a week. Mr Fry said: 'Fruit juice is known to be really laden with sugar, and it needs to be a treat - not an everyday occurrence. The preference in schools should be water, which is hugely beneficial.'

A young English cricket fan who wrote a letter to Richie Benaud asking for tips on spin bowling almost 20 years ago has shared the Australian cricket great's response in the wake of his death. Jonathan Stevenson was just 16 years old when he asked for Benaud's advice on left-handed leg spin and he shared the lengthy response on Twitter on Friday as a tribute to the 'great man'. 'Wrote to Richie Benaud when I was 16 about bowling leggies. His detailed reply says everything about the great man,' Mr Stevenson, who is now a director at LiveWire Sport, tweeted. Scroll down for video . A letter from Richie Benaud to an English fan, Jonathon Stevenson, almost 20 years ago emerged on Friday in the wake of the cricket legend's death . Accompanying the letter from Benaud, dated September 27, 1996, was a full sheet of notes about spin bowling for left-hand bowlers. 'Your letter was timely because it was the first from a left-hander and it reminded me that there is a difference in coaching and not just in the fact that one youngster might bowl with the right hand and another with the left,' Benaud wrote. 'The ball, although coming out of the hand in the same manner and going in the same direction towards the batsmen, in fact spins differently for the two types of bowlers.' Jonathan Stevenson, who now works at LiveWire Sport, was just 16 years old when he asked for Benaud's advice on left-handed leg spin and he shared the lengthy response on Twitter as a tribute to the 'great man' Accompanying the letter from Benaud, dated September 27, 1996, was a full sheet of notes about spin bowling for left-hand bowlers . Benaud enjoyed a remarkable Test career as a wily leg-spin bowler and middle-order batsman which ended with his retirement in 1964. He was the first player to score 2,000 Test runs and take 200 Test wickets. 'I hope you enjoy your cricket and your bowling,' Benaud said. 'Yes, the left-arm over-the-wrist bowler who spins the ball into the right-hander from outside the off-stump is said to have bowled a Chinaman. The same bowler who spins one away from the right-hander has bowled a wrong'un.' After retiring, Benaud became a commentary icon initially with the BBC in England and later in his native Australia . The typed letter, dated September 27, 1996, was personally signed by Benaud . It included tips on different deliveries and gave pointers as to how they should be delivered . In his letter to a young Mr Stevenson, he listed a full page of various different deliveries the teenager should try and gave pointers as to how they should be delivered. 'Don't even think about learning the 'flipper' before you have mastered the leg-break, topspinner and wrong'un,' he finished with. The typed letter was signed by Benaud. After retiring, Benaud became a commentary icon initially with the BBC in England and later in his native Australia. He was the mainstay in Australian cricket television commentary until the past two summers - a car accident in 2013 sidelined him before he announced in November last year that he was fighting skin cancer. The Australian cricketer and commentator passed away in his sleep on Thursday night in Sydney after battling skin cancer.

A Spanish hospital claims it has performed the 'world's most complex' face transplant, allowing a man terribly disfigured by a disease to lead a normal life. Doctors said the 27-hour procedure – to reconstruct the man's entire lower face and neck – is the most difficult surgery they have carried out to date. A spokesperson for the Vall d'Hebron hospital in Barcelona, where the surgery was performed, said a team of 45 doctors, surgeons, nurses and anaesthesiologists took part in the operation in February. Scroll down for video . The 45-year-old man, who did not want to be identified, underwent the 'world's most complex' face transplant to reconstruct his neck, mouth, tongue and throat. The X-rays show the man before and after the surgery . Other specialists from the hospital's plastic surgery and liver transplant departments were also brought in to advise on the procedure, details of which have only just been released. The patient, a 45-year-old man, did not want to be identified. Unlike similar operations, where a patient has had features of their face replaced, or rebuilt, the latest procedure was much more invasive. The man had suffered a condition called arteriovenous malformation for the past 20 years. This is a tangle of blood vessels in the brain which diverts blood from the arteries to the veins, bypassing normal brain tissue. In this man's case, it caused facial deformities and problems with his vision and speech. As a result, most of the man's face lower face was been reconstructed, including his neck, mouth, tongue and the back of his throat. And all the skin and muscles of his face, nose, lips, jaw, all teeth, palate and cheek bones were transplanted by using plastic surgery techniques and microsurgery. There was, however, a risk of severe bleeding that put his life in danger. The man had been examined in several other hospitals, including the Mayo Clinic and Harvard Medical School, which had considered him to be inoperable. Doctors at the Vall d'Hebron hospital in Barcelona, who carried out the procedure, say it was the world's most complex to date. The operation took a team of 45 medical staff 27 hours to complete . But the Vall d'Hebron hospital ruled surgery was his only treatment option - and this week reveled the good news that the man is now living a normal life. The hospital released a statement saying: 'This is the first time that a transplant of this complexity has been performed in the world.' 'The patient evolution after the surgery was successful, similar to any transplant patient at the hospital. 'Now he is already at home and only comes to the hospital for routine check-ups.' In 2010 the same hospital carried out the world's first full face transplant on a man who suffered an accident leaving him without a nose and with a deformed jaw and cheekbones. The first ever partial facial transplant was carried out by doctors in France in 2005, on a woman who had been mauled by her dog.

A British holidaymaker had to be forcibly removed from a Manchester-bound plane in Egypt after he allegedly threatened to kill other passengers. The plane was minutes away from take-off at the airport in the Red Sea city of Hurghada when an unruly passenger began causing problems near the back of the plane, a witness said. Flight TCX2515 was taxiing to the runway at the time, but was forced to return to its stand, where the man was removed by an armed officer. A witness said the unruly passenger was removed by an armed officer, causing a delay for travellers . Tony Penner, a passenger on the plane, told the Manchester Evening News that the disruptive man punched a bus door and uttered threats as travellers were being driven to the plane on Friday night. Mr Penner, 53, said: ‘He was with his partner who was also unsteady. He started shouting “I’ll kill anybody who gets near me on the plane”. ‘It was a shocking thing to hear. We felt threatened. Then he started punching the bus door. He wasn’t a happy chap.’ The man boarded the plane despite the drama on the bus, and he left passengers feeling nervous after causing more problems on board. The drama unfolded after passengers spent time in the Red Sea tourist resort of Hurghada, Egypt . The captain announced that the plane would return to its stand, and passengers applauded when the man – who had a large build and tattoos – was removed, said Mr Penner. He told the Manchester Evening News: ‘As soon as the steps went down an officer with a pistol came on board. ‘He and the pilot chucked the guy off. He was complaining that everyone was picking on him.’ Passengers were delayed for 40 minutes before the plane departed for Manchester without the man on board. A Thomas Cook Airlines spokesperson told MailOnline Travel: ‘We have a zero tolerance policy towards any behaviour on board affecting the safety and welfare of our crew and customers. ‘We'd like to thank those on board for the patience during the short delay to their flight home.' It was unclear whether the man was detained or charged with a crime, and the airline would not reveal whether the man has been banned from its flights. Thomas Cook referred media to Egyptian authorities and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. MailOnline Travel has contacted the FCO for comment.

The happy couple: The bride clutches a bouquet of crystal flowers, and sports a breathtaking three-piece jewellery set, with sizable emeralds . The Prince is the youngest child of the Sultan, Hassanal Bolkiah, and his wife, Queen Saleha, and is second in the line of succession to become the next Sultan of Brunei. Today's 'bersanding' or enthronement ceremony is usually the highlight of the wedding festivities, and saw the bride and groom seated next to each other, dressed in opulent traditional attire on gilded thrones in the Throne Chamber of the Istana Nural Iman palace. According to The Brunei Times, also in attendance were seven Malaysian state rulers and the governor of Saudi Arabia, and this is the first time that the couple have appeared together since the festivities started on 5 April.

The Apple Watch is officially going on sale today - but none of its stores will have them in stock . Apple launches its first smartwatch today - but anyone turning up to buy one from a store will be disappointed. For although the Apple Watch is officially going on sale, none of its locations will have them in stock. Instead, consumers willing to shell out between $549 to $17,000 - for the gold edition - have to pre-order the watches online and wait for their arrival until June. Usually, Apple launches generate long lines outside stores. But analysts believe the company feared the lines might be embarrassingly short and so opted to launch the watch with more of a whisper than a bang. In fact, despite the high price and some skepticism that consumers are eager to adopt a new generation of wearable technology, pre-orders have far exceeded expectations. As a result, the company's initial production run is simply not large enough to ensure that watches will be available in stores from today. Analysts believe Apple is sitting on some two million pre-orders and that sales could top 20 million this year. The watch includes a host of personal trackers, including a heart rate monitor, and is being billed as a personal doctor that will help users to lose weight and improve their health. However, Apple also wants it to be seen as style statement and fashion accessory, with customers able to choose from any of 38 variants depending on the case and watch strap. As a result, limited supplies have been given to six designer outlets around the world, which will apparently be sold to a few select customers by appointment today. The launch of the watch into stores is being handled by Apple retail chief, Angela Ahrendts, who is very familiar with the world of designer labels. She told Apple staff via video message earlier this week that the decision to make the watch only available through online orders is because demand has exceeded supply. In it she said: 'We know that you have been bombarded with questions from customers. 'Luckily, the customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We know they are excited about the Watch ...but there are a lot of questions about availability and timing etc. 'Last week we announced that due to the high global interest and the initial supply that we would only be taking orders online right now. 'This was not an easy decision, and I think it's really important to remind every single customer that this is not just a new product for us, this is an entirely new category.' Apple chief executive Tim Cook pictured giving a presentation on the Apple Watch in San Francisco last month . A spokesman said: 'Our team is working to fill orders as quickly as possible based on the available supply and the order in which they were received. We know many customers are still facing long lead times and we appreciate their patience.' Stuart Miles, technology expert and founder of website Pocket-lint.com, said: 'I think the watch will follow the same lines of success as the iPad did five years ago. It's an intriguing device that has enough wow factor to pull people in.' But he added that the change in buying process this time - and the online backlog that has already begun - could put some people off. 'The biggest problem Apple looks to be facing, is not if people will buy one, it's whether they are going to be happy to wait until they can get one,' he said. Industry commentators believe the Apple Watch will follow the same lines of success as the iPad (pictured) did five years ago .

(CNN)Anthony Ray Hinton is thankful to be free after nearly 30 years on Alabama's death row for murders he says he didn't commit. And incredulous that it took so long. Hinton, 58, looked up, took in the sunshine and thanked God and his lawyers Friday morning outside the county jail in Birmingham, minutes after taking his first steps as a free man since 1985. He spoke of unjustly losing three decades of his life, under fear of execution, for something he didn't do. "All they had to do was to test the gun, but when you think you're high and mighty and you're above the law, you don't have to answer to nobody," Hinton told reporters. "But I've got news for you -- everybody that played a part in sending me to death row, you will answer to God." Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Laura Petro had ordered Hinton released after granting the state's motion to dismiss charges against him. Hinton was convicted of murder in the 1985 deaths of two Birmingham-area, fast-food restaurant managers, John Davidson and Thomas Wayne Vason. But a new trial was ordered in 2014 after firearms experts testified 12 years earlier that the revolver Hinton was said to have used in the crimes could not be matched to evidence in either case, and the two killings couldn't be linked to each other. "Death Row Stories": Hard questions about the U.S. capital punishment system . The state then declined to re-prosecute the case. Hinton was 29 at the time of the killings and had always maintained his innocence, said the Equal Justice Initiative, a group that helped win his release. "Race, poverty, inadequate legal assistance, and prosecutorial indifference to innocence conspired to create a textbook example of injustice," Bryan Stevenson, the group's executive director and Hinton's lead attorney, said of his African-American client. "I can't think of a case that more urgently dramatizes the need for reform than what has happened to Anthony Ray Hinton." Stevenson said the "refusal of state prosecutors to re-examine this case despite persuasive and reliable evidence of innocence is disappointing and troubling." Amnesty report: Executions down but death sentences on the rise . Dressed in a dark suit and blue shirt, Hinton praised God for his release, saying he was sent "not just a lawyer, but the best lawyers." He said he will continue to pray for the families of the murder victims. Both he and those families have suffered a miscarriage of justice, he said. "For all of us that say that we believe in justice, this is the case to start showing, because I shouldn't have (sat) on death row for 30 years," he said. Woman who spent 22 years on death row has case tossed . Hinton was accompanied Friday by two of his sisters, one of whom still lives in the Birmingham area. Other siblings will fly to the area to see him soon, Stevenson said. His mother, with whom he lived at the time of his arrest, is no longer living, according to the lawyer. Hinton planned to spend at least this weekend at the home of a close friend. He will meet with his attorneys Monday to start planning for his immediate needs, such as obtaining identification and getting a health checkup, Stevenson said. The plan now is to spend a few weeks to get oriented with freedom and "sort out what he wants to do," Stevenson said.

Tom Varndell helped himself to a hat-trick against London Welsh as Wasps won away from home in the Aviva Premiership for the first time in 2015 to keep their top-six hopes alive. Ahead of the trip to the Kassam Stadium, Wasps' hunt for an automatic European Rugby Champions Cup spot next season had stuttered after winning just one of their previous five fixtures in all competitions. However, they claimed a 40-13 win over Welsh with tries from Varndell, Ashley Johnson, Sailosi Tagicakibau and Alapati Leiua . Tom Varndell crosses for one of his three tries as Wasps ran out comfortable winners at the Kassam Stadium . It was far from plain sailing for Wasps, though as the Exiles, whose defeat to Bath last time out confirmed that they will finish bottom of the table, trailed 12-5 at half-time after Opeti Fonua bundled over after the first two of Varndell's tries. But Johnson dotted down and Varndell added his third before Tagicakibau secured the bonus point for Wasps, with Alapati Leiua getting in on the act with the last play of the game. Chris Elder scored Welsh's second try of the match in the second period. Wasps got off to a fast start at the Kassam as they went 12 points clear after as many minutes. The visitors found the tryline after only four minutes as Varndell broke down the right flank and scored in the corner, veteran fly-half Andy Goode converting well from a tight angle. Welsh then went down to 14 men eight minutes later when Koree Britton was sent to the sin bin for pulling down a maul and Wasps instantly capitalised as Varndell grabbed his second try. Seb Stegmann is tackled by Carlo Festuccia as the exiles put up a fight, but faded away again . Alapati Leiua breaks away to score a late try as Wasps pulled away in the closing stages . The Exiles crept back into the game, though, keeping the pressure on Wasps' defence and Fonua forced his way through to make it 12-5, Tristan Roberts kicking the conversion side. Welsh started the second half well and Roberts made amends for his earlier miss as he calmly kicked a penalty between the posts to reduce the arrears even further. But Wasps soon began to dominate and a lineout close to the try-line was bundled over by Johnson in his first start as hooker. Then a swift break down the right saw Varndell free to run back around the Welsh defence and score under the posts for his hat-trick. Elder scored a try out of nowhere four minutes later for the Exiles on his Aviva Premiership debut, as he found space on the left wing to touch down in the corner. Wasps instantly replied though as Tagicakibau finished a great run through the centre by reaching for the line. And the game ended on a high for Wasps as Leiua finished the scoring with a darting run through the middle. James Cannon wins a line-out for Wasps ahead of London Welsh's Matt Corker as Wasps recovered their form . Andy Goode adds extras as Wasps renewed their chase for a European Champions Cup place .

Tom Varndell scores three as Wasps pull away at the Kassam Stadium . London Welsh put up a brave fight but fall away late in the game . Ashley Johnson, Sailosi Tagicakibau and Alapati Leiua all score tries .

Warrington put a dampener on Kevin Sinfield's 500th appearance for Leeds as they completed a notable double over the Super League leaders in emphatic fashion at Headingley. Sinfield was on the losing side on his debut for the Rhinos against Sheffield Eagles at Headingley in 1997 and he was powerless to prevent a repeat on his landmark occasion, with the Wolves running out 29-10 winners. The Rhinos were already trailing 20-4 when the former England skipper entered the action five minutes into the second half and it did not get much better as the Yorkshiremen came up with their worst performance of the season in front of a 17,430 crowd. Warrington Wolves forward Roy Asotasi crosses for one of his side's five tries on the night . Warrington had produced their best display in an 18-6 win over Leeds in March and they were again outstanding, with full-back Stefan Ratchford and second rower Ben Currie the pick of an impressive bunch. Leeds had an early chance when prop Adam Cuthbertson was held up over the line but then it was virtually all Warrington as they established a stranglehold on the game. Loose forward Ben Harrison was held up on his back before his back-row partner Currie produced a measured grubber kick on the last tackle to create a try for winger Gene Ormsby. Leeds Rhinos winger Kallum Watkins does brilliantly to touch down in the corner . It was then Harrison's turn to demonstrate his kicking skills to get his captain Joel Monaghan in for a second try, although there was a strong hint of a forward pass in the build-up. With scrum-half Richie Myler causing all sorts of problems for the Rhinos defence with his penetrative running, the visitors were good value for their 8-0 lead and it got even better for them on 23 minutes when prop Ashton Sims took hooker Mick Higham's pass near the line to go through a gaping hole for a third try. Ratchford was off target with his first two attempts at goal but it was third time lucky as he made it 14-0 and a Higham 40-20 kick enabled Warrington to maintain the momentum. Warrington forward Ben Harrison is tackled by Stevie Ward during a frantic contest at Headingley . Sinfield stayed on the bench throughout the first half but the introduction of forward Mitch Achurch helped perk up the Rhinos in the last 10 minutes and they pulled a try back in scintillating fashion when winger Kallum Watkins finished off a flowing move at the corner. The Leeds captain entered the action five minutes into the second half but his side were trailing 20-4 by then after a break by lively substitute Daryl Clark created the position for Ratchford to get Currie over for Warrington's fourth try. And there was no way back for Sinfield's men when Ormsby's neat offload enabled substitute prop Roy Asotasi to score his first try for more than 12 months. Leeds Rhinos veteran Kevin Sinfield made his 500th appearance for the club on Friday night . Ratchford kicked his third goal to stretch his side's lead to 26-4 and increased it with a penalty on 63 minutes after Jamie Peacock was pulled up for a high tackle. The home side pulled a try back five minutes later through Achurch and Sinfield kicked the goal but it was little more than consolation and the Wolves had the final say when stand-off Declan Patton slotted a drop goal to open his account for the club on his third appearance.

Kevin Sinfield made his 500th appearance for Leeds . Warrington registered tries through Gene Ormsby, Joel Monaghan, Ashton Sims, Ben Currie and Roy Asotasi . Leeds replied with Kallum Watkins and Mitch Achurch .

Jordan Spieth has hailed the 'most incredible week' of his life after becoming the second youngest Masters winner of all time and the first start-to-finish winner at Augusta in 39 years. Spieth held his nerve in Sunday's final round to keep control of the season's first major championship, matching Tiger Woods' record of an 18-under 270 and finishing four shots clear of the field. Speaking in Butler cabin as he prepared to receive his green jacket, the 21-year-old admitted that despite never giving up the lead, he was still a bag of nerves as he looked to hold off the attentions of two major champions in the form of Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose. Jordan Spieth has hailed the 'most incredible week' of his life after winning the Masters at Augusta . Spieth poses in his green jacket having held his nerve in Sunday's final round in a start-to-finish victory . 'It was very nerve-racking today,' Spieth said. 'I thought today might be a little easier than yesterday having played a round with the lead but it wasn't. I didn't sleep well last night, just got out here and got in a bit of rhythm and we were off. With two major champions behind I couldn't let up. 'It's the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport, this is a dream come true for me. To shoot some low rounds and to see some putts go in out here and to hear those roars, it was remarkable.' Spieth was greeted by his family at the 18th green, with his father telling him to do a lap of honour for all the patrons round the 18th green. And the Texan said that it was the moment of seeing his loved ones where it finally dawned on him that he was going to win. Spieth hugs his father Shawn at the 18th green, and he admitted that seeing his family made things sink in . Of seeing his family and friends, Spieth said: 'at that point knew that it was going to be a done deal' Spieth hugs his grandfather Bob but later said that even then the excitement of winning hadn't fully kicked in . 'I saw my family and friends right behind the green, and at that point knew that it was going to be a done deal,' he said. 'To be honest, it didn't kick in there, it still hasn't kicked in. I'm still kind of in shock a little bit. 'I'm sure it'll settle in maybe a little later but it was really great to share that experience with my family who weren't there any of the couple of times I had one so to be at this one was special.' Asked what was next for him, having fulfilled a life-long ambition, Spieth said: 'I want to be like Bubba (Watson), I want to win two Masters! Spieth led from start to finish at Augusta, the first time that feat has been achieved in 39 years . The 21-year-old reacts after sinking his final putt to win the 2015 Masters Tournament on Sunday . 'I'm excited already to come back, I'm excited for the opportunity ahead this year to be the reigning Masters champion, I know that's going to carry a heavy weight with it and I hope to be ready for it.' Rose, who finished on 14-under had nothing but praise for the young champion. 'There's many players in the Tiger era who have rued when Tiger won it by 15 or 12. Ernie Els, for example, could have won a bunch more major championships if it wasn't for one guy. 'Jordan seems to have that same quality right now and he's very comfortable playing with a lead. A 14 under round here... I'll take that every year and take my chances.' Justin Rose (left) finished on 14-under and had nothing but praise for the new young champion .

(CNN)Famed cosmologist Stephen Hawking has proved his comedy chops on shows like "The Big Bang Theory," and now he's trying his hand at musicals. Hawking has partnered with the silly lads of Monty Python to recreate the signature "Galaxy Song" from their 1983 film "The Meaning of Life." The collabo is in honor of Saturday's Record Store Day, when the 7-inch single will be available for sale. The accompanying video is guaranteed to be the most awesome thing you see today. In it, fellow scientist Brian Cox rails against the inaccuracies in "Galaxy Song" when a fed-up Hawking, who has ALS, zooms up in his wheelchair and knocks over Cox. Hawking continues singing the song in his signature computerized voice. Hawking then launches into the stratosphere for a trippy ride and lesson on the cosmos. The scene is derived from a filmed bit that Monty Python uses during its live shows. 40 years of 'Holy Grail': The best of Monty Python . "Galaxy Song" song was written by Python member Eric Idle, along with John Du Prez, and is "an intricate and informative lecture on the enor-mity of the Universe fashioned into a bewitching and, above all, highly amusing pop song," according to the comedy troupe's site. Hawking's version is available for download. It's not Hawking's first music gig; he's also featured on the Pink Floyd song "Talkin' Hawkin.'" The original version of "Galaxy Song" is below. A sampling of the lyrics: "Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour. That's orbiting at 19 miles a second so it's reckoned. A sun that's the source of all our power. The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see are moving at 1 million miles a day. In an outer spiral arm at 40,000 miles an hour of the galaxy we call the Milky Way."

Ronald Koeman's message to his Southampton players is a clear one: Forget about the others, focus on yourselves and start scoring goals. The Saints' stellar season has stuttered in recent weeks, largely due to their impotence in front of goal. In their last 10 league matches they've scored just seven times, resulting in a haul of 14 points from a potential 30. Southampton manager Ronald Koeman wants his team to rediscover their scoring form to make Europe . Southampton striker Graziano Pelle (centre) has struggled to reproduce his form from the start of the season . Pelle's struggles in front of goal could see him removed from the side to play Hull on Saturday . Still, though, the south coast side are punching well above their weight and sit seventh in the Premier League with 53 points from their 31 outings -- one point behind Tottenham Hotspur in sixth and Liverpool in fifth. European football is the goal and, starting with Hull City on Saturday, Saints have seven matches to chase that dream. 'You have to look at yourself and to do your best,' Koeman said on Thursday. 'You have to have the ambition, spirit and quality. 'We have a little bit more difficulty in creating enough chances to score and we have to work on that. Now the situation at the moment is that we are fighting for fifth, sixth and seventh position in the table and that's still very good. 'We have a home game now and if you want to finish up in the table you have to win games like this.' Saints have failed to score in five of their last nine league matches, and Koeman could be poised to recall Senegalese striker Sadio Mane to the starting 11. Sadio Mane (left) is pushing for a recall to the Southampton side for the home game against Hull . Koeman is trying to lead Southampton into the Europa League and they are currently seventh on 53 points . Koeman is looking for his best attacking combination and with Graziano Pelle continuing to misfire, winger Mane could be called on to play up the middle. 'We need to have patience and we need to bring more quality in front (of goal). Then it's all about the performance,' Koeman told the club's YouTube channel. Hull are scrapping for their top-flight lives and will be tough to break down. The Tigers are one place above the drop zone, two points clear of Queens park Rangers and Burnley, and six above rock-bottom Leicester.

A photographer who fell on a stone in the graveyard ahead of Andy Murray's wedding rehearsal as the tennis star was greeted by a media scrum has died. Gordon Jack, 47, was taken to hospital when emergency services were called to Dunblane Cathedral, where Murray married long-term girlfriend Kim Sears today. He was taken to hospital shortly before 5pm yesterday, but died this afternoon. Mr Jack, a father-of-three, collapsed while covering the dress rehearsal of Andy Murray’s wedding yesterday . This is the last picture taken by photographer Gordon Jack, which he tweeted - he became unwell as press and the public gathered outside Dunblane Cathedral for Andy Murray's wedding rehearsal and died later . Murray was feet away from the photographer yesterday when he lost his balance while taking pictures of the event. The 27-year-old former Wimbledon champion leant towards the photographer with visible concern after the incident, until he was ushered away by his security team. Mr Jack was found to be unconscious and was taken to Forth Valley Hospital, in Larbert, near Falkirk, where he is understood to have been placed in a medically induced coma. He died from complications following a heart attack. Mr Jack ran the Scotimage agency in Linlithgow, West Lothian and did freelance newspaper and public relations work. He is survived by his wife Gilly and three children Megan, Sam and Emily. Tonight, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon sent her condolences to Mr Jack's family. She tweeted: 'Totally devastated to hear about the death of Gordon Jack. A lovely man and a great photographer. My thoughts with his family & colleagues.'

Lewis Hamilton insists he is ready for Nico Rosberg's tactics should his Mercedes team-mate attempt anything underhand in the wake of his latest outburst. Rosberg's criticism of Hamilton following Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix has reopened old wounds that at times festered between the duo last year. The 29-year-old German claimed Hamilton selfishly slowed during the middle part of the race, drawing him back into a chasing Sebastian Vettel in his Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton (right) insists he is prepared for further criticism from Mercede's team-mate Nico Rosberg . Hamilton beat his Mercedes colleague to win the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on Sunday . Mercedes top brass Toto Wolff and Niki Lauda insist Hamilton was not at fault, with the eventual one-two the best result for the team. With Rosberg distinctly second best to Hamilton so far this season - as he has been out-qualified and out-raced by the Briton in all three grands prix - it remains to be seen what tricks he might have up his sleeve to stop the rot and regain the advantage. In Monaco last year it has been suggested by many Rosberg deliberately thwarted Hamilton during qualifying, earning pole and following up with the race win. In Belgium, Rosberg earned a rebuke and had sanctions imposed on him by the team after colliding with Hamilton on only the second lap which forced the latter out of the race. Hamilton (right) led Rosberg at the Chinese Grand Prix, and later came under criticism from his team-mate . The British racer, who leads the Drivers' Championship by 13 points, sprays champagne on a hostess . Although aware Rosberg may do all he can to beat him, an unperturbed Hamilton said: 'I feel pretty well prepared, having experienced all those kind of things. 'That stuff doesn't cross my mind. I think we're professional. We've been through some ups and downs and now we're in a good place. 'And anyway, I would like to think I am stronger this year and that will be reflected moving forwards.' The bottom line is at present Rosberg does not have an answer for Hamilton's form and pace as the 30-year-old has won eight of the last 10 races. Hamilton has also suggested Rosberg should seize a chance when it is presented to him, as was the case in Shanghai. Hamilton claimed after the race that Rosberg (left) was not quick enough to catch him even if he tried . The Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai finished with a Mercedes one-two, and Sebastian Vettel third for Ferrari . 'You have to try and sympathise with people's opinions,' said Hamilton. 'I always try, in all walks of life, to put myself in that position because you wouldn't want that to happen to you. You try to think that. 'But I said to the guys, if I was in second and I had the pace I had, I would have been pushing to be as close as possible and passing. That's racing. Nico didn't try. 'They said maybe he was just comfortable second, and I said "Well, that's the difference between us. I want to win always". 'I would have done everything to get past, or at least pushed for three laps if I could.' Hamilton drives during the Formula One Grand Prix race at the Shanghai International Circuit on April 12 . But then cuttingly, Hamilton added: 'Even if he had (pushed), and he had got relatively close, he just wasn't quick enough. 'If you take a step back, this is motor racing, man. Racing. Don't take away the fun of the racing. It's racing. 'If I was in second or third, I would have done everything. I wouldn't have sat back two seconds to make it to the end of the stint. 'Of course you want to get to the end of the stint, but if I thought I had more pace I would have tried to have got past, because that's the best part.'

A charity set up by Brad Pitt to build new houses for people made homeless when Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans a decade ago is embroiled in legal action – after the new homes started to rot. Pitt, 51, vowed to help ‘make it right’ for the city’s thousands of displaced citizens by building eco-friendly homes to replace the ones destroyed. The star personally backed the building of 104 homes in the Lower Ninth quarter of the city, decimated in the 2005 storm, which killed almost 2,000. Scroll down for video . Brad Pitt pictured leaving one of the Make it Right Foundation's houses in the Lower Ninth quarter of New Orleans in 2012 . Make it Right: Brad Pitt personally backed the building of 104 homes in the Lower Ninth quarter of the city . ‘He took this personally and was even helping to bang in nails,’ a source told The Mail on Sunday. But in a lawsuit filed in New Orleans’ District Court last week, Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation is suing Timber Treatment Technologies for $500,000 – claiming the wood was defective. It says it was forced to replace decking and other wood on the new homes after using the company’s TimberSIL product. In one case, a house had rotted so badly it had mushrooms growing from it, it is alleged. A spokesman for Pitt could not be reached for comment last night. The source added: 'This has turned the project into a PR nightmare. The homes are literally rotting away because the wood that was used wasn’t as advertised.’ The lawsuit says Pitt’s charity chose to use TimberSIL wood after being told it had undergone a special ‘environmentally friendly glass-wood fusion process’ designed to prevent rot and decay. The timber was advertised as ‘award winning green certified’ and was supposed to be guaranteed against mold, mildew and rotting for 40 years.

But, the suit adds, a whistleblower informed Make It Right that the company skipped a vital part of the manufacturing process rendering the wood useless and forcing the charity to replace the decks and other wood in all 104 homes - at a cost of more than half a million dollars. ‘Before filing this lawsuit the charity tried to reach an agreement with the wood company but the talks went nowhere,' the source added. Pitt’s charity is suing for the cost of replacing the damaged wood, legals fees and for unspecified costs in relation to the PR damage caused by the debacle. Resident Vanessa Rogers said her front stairs and decking had to be rebuilt: ‘A lot of it got rotten really fast. 'It got so bad I fell down the stairs. The floorboards were rotting and the back porch and deck al has to be replaced. It’s really bad.’ Pitt’s spokesperson did not return calls for comment. Timber Treatment Technologies declined to comment on the row. Pitt vowed to help ‘make it right’ for the city’s thousands of displaced citizens by building eco-friendly homes to replace the ones destroyed. Brad Pitt pictured here speaking to locals . Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation claimed it was lured into buying the special wood only to discover it rotted so badly one home had mushrooms growing out of it .

Justin Braddock ran from officers in hospital after a deputy sheriff saved his life when he found him unconscious after allegedly taking heroin . A police officer saved the life of a unconscious heroin user, only for the man to flee without a thank you when he was taken to hospital. Patrick O’Melia, 39, a deputy with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, was flagged down while he was on patrol near DeLand in Florida and asked to help 34-year-old Justin Braddock. When Mr O'Melia found Braddock unconscious in the front seat of a car he spent seven minutes giving him CPR and eventually revived him. Braddock, who had injected a large amount of the drug that day, was taken to hospital but fled, according to the Daytona Beach News Journal. He was later caught by deputies as he ran away from Florida Hospital. A two-year-old child was also said to have been found in the back of the car and the pair were later charged with neglect. Officials also found pills, other drugs and paraphernalia in the car. Mr O'Melia, who had worked as a deputy in the Sheriff's Office for just nine months, was flagged down for help by Braddock's sister Kelly Boan, 31, near New York Avenue near DeLand at about 4pm on Sunday afternoon. When he got to the car he found 34-year-old Braddock slumped in the front seat, without a pulse. Miss Boan told the deputy that they had just bought some of the drug and her brother had injected a large amount of it himself, it was claimed. It then took Mr O'Melia seven minutes to revive Braddock. Braddock was then able to stand up and get back into the front seat and an ambulance was called. He was taken to hospital by paramedics and as deputies arrived to question him, he was seen running away. Braddock continued to flee, even when officers told him they would use a taser gun. Mr O'Melia was flagged down in New York Avenue in DeLand (left) by Braddock's sister Kelly Boan (right) However his bid for freedom was short lived as he tripped and fell and was captured. Boan and Braddock were charged with possession of heroin, failure to report suspected child abuse, abandonment, neglect and possession/use of narcotics paraphernalia. Braddock is being held without bail and Boan was released on $2,500 bail.

The biggest ice cover on North America’s Great Lakes in decades is backing up important shipping deliveries with 18 freighters currently wedged in the ice, unable to move. Extraordinary aerial photographs taken above Whitefish Bay on eastern Lake Superior, Ontario, show some of the freighters lined up across a frozen expanse.

Gill added: ‘The ice is very mobile. There’s a lot of water in it. Hit with the icebreakers, it moves and doesn’t take the break. It’s been very slow to say the least.’ The ice breakers on the scene include the US Coast Guard cutter Alder – the largest US icebreaker, according to the Tribune.

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey claims that covert racism still exists in football boardrooms and that the implementing of a Rooney Rule could help raise awareness of the issue. Ramsey, the only black manager in the Premier League, has been vocal on racism in football in the past and supports John Barnes’s assertion that black managers find it difficult to get another job after being sacked. ‘Just because I’m sitting here I’m not going to change my views of many years,’ said Ramsey, who takes his side to West Brom in search of a much-needed three points on Saturday. Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey claims that covert racism still exists in football boardrooms . Ramsey believes that the implementing of a Rooney Rule could help raise awareness of the 'covert' issue . John Barnes’ view that black managers find it hard to get a job after being sacked was backed up by Ramsey . ‘The fact we’re still, at this stage of the game, highlighting that I’m the only black Premier League manager shows that it’s not the norm to have people from ethnic minorities in this position. ‘So until this becomes normal, and it’s not highlighted in such a spectacular fashion, racism will be prominent. ‘Obviously, I’m in a very fortunate position to be the manager of QPR but I hope people won’t look at that as a token gesture. I think I’ve earned my stripes to be in this position. Barnes' last managerial job was at Tranmere in 2009. He lasted four months before being sacked . Ramsey is operating as the only black manager in the Premier League as he looks to keep QPR up . Ramsey was without a job for seven months after leaving his coaching role at Tottenham last season . ‘I think that there are other people who are probably more talented or better suited, from a profile point of view, as many white managers who have got jobs based on their profile and playing experience.’ The 52-year-old manager thinks that discrimination isn’t exclusive to race and that the Rooney Rule — which obliges America’s NFL teams to interview minority candidates for top jobs — might be the solution here. ‘If it doesn’t work out for me here, I think that, as any manager of any race, I think you’re always in a position where it’s difficult to get another job,’ he said. QPR travel to face West Bromwich Albion after disappointingly losing at home to Everton last time out . Aaron Lennon is congratulated by his team-mates at Loftus Road as the QPR players head for the half-way line . ‘As a black man, I think it’s always going to be difficult anyway. I think the Rooney Rule is an important factor as there’s an awareness that something has to be done to affect the way people think in boardrooms. ‘I’m not just talking about race, I’m talking about gender, homophobia and other issues. I think there needs to be more awareness of factors that affect why people get jobs or not.’

Burnley defender Michael Duff was satisfied with a point against Tottenham and the way his side subdued prolific goalscorer Harry Kane at Turf Moor. Kane's first outing as captain of Tottenham failed to inspire Spurs in an insipid 0-0 draw against Burnley in a result which helped neither side. Sean Dyche's Clarets would have escaped the bottom three had they won, while Spurs' hopes of a top-four spot look to have evaporated. Burnley defender Michael Duff was satisfied with the way his side subdued prolific goalscorer Harry Kane . Kane could not find a way to break the deadlock at Turf Moor in the 0-0 draw on Sunday afternoon . 'I think as a team we handled him (Kane) well,' Duff told Sky Sports 1. 'We pressed them high up the pitch and you could see that many many times. It's something we pride ourselves on. 'We haven't got the multi-multi-million pound superstars that maybe some teams have in this league or the budget to go with it but we work hard and you can see the fans appreciate that.' Danny Ings missed an early chance to put Burnley ahead and Clarets defender Jason Shackell thinks his side need to be more clinical from now until the end of the season. 'I thought we played well today and we had a few chances,' the 31-year-old said. Burnley tried to press high up the pitch as a way of neutralising the threat posed by top scorer Kane . Duff clears the ball ahead of the challenge of Kane in a game that lacked clear-cut chances for both teams . 'We need to be a bit more clinical between now and the end of the season but it's another point and that's a point in the right direction. 'If he (Ings) had put the ball in the back of the net of course it would have been different but he's been phenomenal and will get a few more goals for us before the end of the season for sure.' Duff added: 'We just keep taking it a game at a time. It's another marker and another point in the right direction. It's a tough league and at times it's hard to get points so we'll take anything we can get.' Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson had a pop at Spurs substitute Andros Townsend after the match .

Baggage handlers at Miami International Airport have been caught on video as they steal items from passenger luggage. The Miami-Dade Police Department set up a hidden camera to deal with the ongoing problem of luggage theft, and found workers rifling through checked bags both before they were loaded onto planes and once inside the aircraft's belly. This as it is revealed that airline customers have reported $2.5million in lost property from 2010 to 2014. Scroll down for video . Police also caught baggage handlers at Miami International Airport (above) stealing from passenger luggage after installing a hidden camera . A baggage handler (above) at JFK Airport in New York was also caught on camera going through a passenger's wallet . CNN reports that 31 employees have been arrested for theft in Miami since 2012, including six this year. Incidents of theft at that airport are far less however that New York's John F. Kennedy, which has more claims of lost property that anywhere else in the country. In 2013, El Al Airlines set up a hidden camera at that airport, and found workers stealing cash, jewelry, iPhones and iPads, which led to six arrests. Across the country in Los Angeles, 16 airport workers were fired last year after police obtained search warrants for their homes following a increase in reported thefts at the terminal where they were employed. 'We cut theft in those two terminals by 60% because of doing that aggressive investigative work,' said Patrick Gannon, the police chief at that airport. Overall, there have been 30,621 claims of missing valuables since 2010, with most of these coming from checked luggage. Of those claims, 2,493 occurred at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Airline customers have reported $2.5million in lost property from 2010 to 2014 (above a JFK employee) Most shocking however may be how easy it is for airport employees to steal, with only Orlando and Miami screening employees through metal detectors as they arrive at work and only Miami screening them when they leave. Since 2002, the TSA has fired 513 workers for theft, though it is now known how many of them faced criminal charges. Gannon believes that theft is not the only problem either, as it could lead to bigger threats in the nation's airports. 'I absolutely think that if we don't pay attention to the small things that happen around here, that it could lead to much larger things. So there is, I believe, a connection between baggage theft and terrorism.'

Teachers can judge the behaviour of black students more harshly than while pupils, new research has suggested. A study by researchers at Stanford University examined the reaction of secondary and primary school teachers in the United States to student race. They found that the teachers were more likely to view youngsters who they thought were black as troublemakers than those they thought were white. Teachers tend to see black pupils as more likely to cause trouble in the future if they have misbehaved in the past, according to new research that attempted to examine the impact of racial stereotypes in US schools . The researchers say this may go someway towards explaining why black children are often disciplined more at schools compared to other pupils. Professor Jennifer Eberhardt, a psychologist at Stanford University, said: 'The fact that black children are disproportionately disciplined in school is behind dispute. 'What is less clear is why. We see that stereotypes not only can be used to allow people to interpret a specific behavior in isolation, but also stereotypes can heighten our sensitivity to behavioral patterns across time. Some of the world’s most troubling times, which have included periods of intense racism, have occurred during economic downturns. And now a new study has found that people really do have a tendency to become more racist during a recession. Researchers found that faces seem ‘blacker’ and have stronger racial features during an economic downturn, and this in turn increases the likelihood of discrimination. The study by New York University claims that conditions of ‘resource scarcity’ alter people’s perception of race. Their work follows a study last year, which suggested racism is on the rise in the UK, fuelled by financial strife. In four experiments, involving 285 non-black Americans, scientists David Amodio and Amy Krosch found people see faces different during an economic downturn. 'This pattern sensitivity is especially relevant in the schooling context.' In their study, which is published in the journal Psychological Science, Professor Eberhardt and her colleagues presented teachers with fictional school records. These records described two instances of misbehaviour by a student. The teachers were asked about their perception of the severity, how irritated that misbehaviour would make them and how the student should be punished. They were also asked whether they saw the student as a troublemaker and if they could imagine themselves suspending that pupil in the future. The researchers randomly assigned names to the student records, in some cases suggesting the student was black with names like Deshawn or Darnell and in others suggesting they were white with names like Greg or Jake. The researchers found that racial stereotypes had little impact on the teachers' views of the pupils after one infraction. However, the second piece of misbehaviour was seen as 'more troubling' when committed by a black student rather than a white one. The researchers examined the views of both primary and secondary school teachers to see if their opinions of fictional pupils were altered by racial stereotypes and found they tended to judge black students more harshly . In the US black students are disproportionately punished for misbehaviour compared to white students . The teachers also tended to want to discipline black students more harshly as they were more likely to see the misbehaviour as part of a pattern. The race of the teachers who took part in the study was not immediately clear, but Mail Online has contacted the researchers for more information. Jason Okonofua, who also took part in the study, said the findings had implications beyond the school system. He said: 'Most social relationships entail repeated encounters. 'Interactions between police officers and civilians, between employers and employees, between prison guards and prisoners all may be subject to the sort of stereotype escalation effect we have identified in our research.' The researchers suggest that psychological interventions could be used to help change the stereotypes of black students influencing the way teachers treat pupils. In 2005 Trevor Phillips, then the chairman of the Commission For Racial Equality in the UK, suggested that black boys should be taught in separate classes in order to improve their educational achievements as a group. His controversial idea was met with opposition from some who said ghetto culture was to blame for the poor classroom performance of black boys, not just racism.

Study found US teachers judge black pupils more harshly after they have misbehaved than white students who have committed similar infractions . The research was conducted by psychologists at Stanford University . They say their findings may help to explain why black pupils seem to be disproportionarly punished in schools when compared to other students .

Marouane Fellaini did not have the best of days at Goodison Park on Sunday, but that did not stop the Manchester United midfielder sharing a glass of bubbly with his twin brother Mansour on Tuesday. The brothers were recently the subject of a mix-up involving Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho prior to the Blues' crunch clash with United at Stamford Bridge on April 18. Following his side's 1-0 victory over Louis van Gaal's side, Mourinho revealed he prepared his Chelsea players to deal with the threat of Fellaini all week – only to be told by a hotel doorman that the Belgian was not playing. Marouane Fellaini (left) and his twin brother Mansour share a glass of bubbly in Manchester . Following Manchester United's 3-0 loss against Everton, Fellaini spent Tuesday chilling out with his brother . Fellaini was substituted at half-time against the Toffees as Louis van Gaal's side struggled at Goodison Park . Mourinho planned for Kurt Zouma to man mark Fellaini - with teenager Ruben Loftus-Cheek playing the 6ft 4in midfielder in training. But he feared his tactical master plan was set to be for nothing when he was told that the United powerhouse was not playing by the doorman at the club's hotel. Mourinho, relaying his conversation with the doorman, said: 'Fellaini doesn't play because he was here to get tickets for the game from Eden Hazard. He was dressed in jeans, this and that'. Fellaini competes for possession with Everton midfielder Gareth Barry on Sunday . Fellaini, following a strong season in the red shirt, struggled to impose himself on the contest at Goodison . '(It) didn't smell well for me. I go to Google and I put 'Fellaini brother'. 'So I go with the pictures to the doorman. I say 'hey, this one or this one?' And he looks 'this one'. 'He's the brother'.' Mourinho said the other Fellaini - his twin brother Mansour - posed for photos as the United player, who had been in the Blues boss' thoughts all week, did start the game at Stamford Bridge.

Belly flop to belly up?  It’s fair to say Steve Bruce has had better weeks than this one, which featured the publication of some poolside diving snaps and culminated in a defeat that suggests Hull might yet bomb out of the Premier League. This was a game they could not afford to lose. Not when their final seven games include fixtures against Southampton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United. But lose they did, bringing their winless run to five and leaving themselves in a right mess. Bafetimbi Gomis roars with celebration after giving Swansea a 2-0 lead against Hull at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday . Gomis unleashed a thunderous overhead kick shortly before half-time to capitalise on some poor Hull defending . The French striker fires a spectacular volley past Allan McGregor and into the roof of the Hull net to double the home side's lead . The Swansea striker celebrates his strike in front of a group of young supporters after doubling his side's lead in the first half . Swansea (4-3-3): Fabianski 6.5; Naughton 6 (Rangel 56, 6), Fernandez 6.5, Williams 7, Taylor 7; Ki 7, Cork 6.5 (Dyer 65, 6), Shelvey 6.5 (Grimes 90); Sigurdsson 6.5, Gomis 7.5, Routledge 6.5 . Subs not used: Amat, Emnes, Oliveira, Tremmel . Booked: Williams . Scorer(s): Ki 18, Gomis 37, 90+1 . Hull (3-5-2): McGregor 5.5; Dawson 5.5, Bruce 6 (Diame 70, 6), McShane 6.5; Elmohamady 6, Ramirez 5.5 (Quinn 30, 6), Livermore 6, Meyler 5, Brady 6; N'Doye 5, Hernandez 4.5 (Aluko 81) Subs not used: Rosenior, Chester, Sagbo, Harper . Booked: Hernandez, McShane, N’Doye, Bruce, Diame . Sent off: Meyler 53 . Scorer(s): McShane 50 . Referee: Andre Mariner . Man of the match: Bafetimbi Gomis . Bafetimbi Gomis scored a spectacular overhead. CLICK HERE for more match zone . True, they could have benefited more from refereeing decisions – Bafetimbi Gomis was offside in the build up to his brilliant first goal and David Meyler’s second-half red card could have gone either way – but that should not exonerate a side that is supposed to be fighting for it life and yet looked so meek for half of this match. They managed no shots on goal in the time it took Swansea to go 2-0 ahead through Ki Sung-Yueng and Gomis’s bicycle kick. And it was only in the second half that they mounted a challenge. As fate would have it, Meyler was sent off for fouling Kyle Naughton two minutes after Paul McShane had given Hull a lifeline. Gomis finished them in stoppage time. Bruce was exasperated. He said: ‘We were disappointed to lose the game and we knew we were nowhere near good enough in the first-half in particular. ‘But the two big decisions went against us and they could have turned the game. Gomis’ first goal is a fantastic piece of skill but he is five yards offside. Gomis grabbed his second of the match after racing on to Jonjo Shelvey's pass and chipping McGregor in injury time . The 29-year-old celebrates in front of the Swansea fans on his hands and knees after making sure of the three points . Paul McShane pulled a goal back for Hull five minutes into the second half when he pounced in the six-yard box . The Hull defender slotted past Lukasz Fabianski from just four yard out after latching onto a free kick totally unmarked . ‘We had got back into the game at 2-1 but unfortunately David has picked up a red card. I’ve seen it six times now and from three angles and to me it’s a perfectly decent challenge. ‘The other three I look at it and he takes part of the ball and the leg collides with the boy. We may as well say with these grey areas that you are not allowed to tackle if you tackle on the floor.’ The consequence of the challenge, beyond damage to Hull’s survival prospects, is that Naughton went to hospital for an X-ray on his ankle. Garry Monk said: ‘His ankle is really swollen. That is the real negative. We hope it is not serious. At the time I thought it was a genuine 50-50 challenge. My initial reaction was “bad challenge” but I don’t think there was any malice. You run that risk if your foot is high and goes over the ball.’ For Monk, it was the only complaint from a match that Swansea probably could have won in third gear. That’s no exaggeration in the context of how poor Hull were in the opening 45 minutes. For a team in that kind of mess, with those fixtures still to come, it was incomprehensible. That’s not to say Swansea stormed from the blocks. Ki’s opener after 18 minutes was actually the first chance of the game. Jonjo Shelvey had taken his usual punt from distance and while Allan McGregor did well to get down and save, his parry fell squarely at the feet of the South Korean. David Meyler was sent off for the visitors just three minutes after McShane pulled a goal back for a lunge on Kyle Naughton . Hull midfielder Meyler and his team-mates look on in disbelief as Andre Mariner reaches for the red card . Swansea right back Naughton limps from the field and has to be replaced by Angel Rangel following Meyler's tackle . Ki buried the finish without taking a touch and now has scored four goals in eight games. With seven this season, the deep-lying midfielder has become a delightfully complete player. It took 24 minutes for Hull to have their first chance – Abel Hernandez hit a bouncing ball from 30 yards and it trickled all the way to Lukasz Fabianski. It wasn’t even on target. The rest of their attacks fizzled, a side with five across the middle seemingly incapable of holding possession. Gomis nailed the second with a goal that was hardly at home in such a subdued game. It really was a beautiful finish. Kyle Naughton delivered a ball into the area, Michael Dawson attempted to head clear and the striker buried a bicycle kick. Replays showed he had come back from an offside position, but the finish was magnificent. At that stage, Hull appeared out of it. Monk warned his side of complacency at the break and, in his words, ‘they did the total opposite’. It enabled Hull to pull one back after 49 minutes. Ashley Williams had tangled with Dame N’Doye and conceded a free-kick which Robbie Brady delivered from the right. Alex Bruce found space from six yards to flick a header at goal and McShane poked a finish past Fabianski. For two minutes Hull looked a genuine threat. And then, just as quickly, hope was gone. Meyler went high on Naughton and will miss the next three games. Ki Sung-Yueng opened the scoring for the home side inside 20 minutes after pouncing following an Allan McGregor save . Ki leads the celebrations after giving Garry Monk's side an early advantage at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday . Hull, to their credit, did not give up. But it was in their desperation for a leveller that they conceded a third. Nathan Dyer dispossessed Brady and Sigurdsson sent a long ball to Gomis. With none of Hull’s outfield players in their own half, the Frenchman had time to think before a nice chip over McGregor. In this strange old season of moans and a feint, he has also made his way to eight goals in all competitions. It will be interesting to see if his improved recent form has soothed some of the anger caused by his January agitations. It will be more interesting in the shorter term to see if Hull can find the significant improvement needed to get themselves out of this hole.

Swansea City beat Hull City 2-1 in the Premier League at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday . Ki Sung-Yueng fired the hosts into the lead after 18 minutes when he turned home Jonjo Shelvey's parried effort . Bafetimbi Gomis doubled the lead when he fired a volley into the roof of the net eight minutes before half-time . Paul McShane got a goal back for the visitors just five minutes after the restart, tapping in from close range . David Meyley was given a straight red card three minutes after the goal when he lunged in on Kyle Naughton . Gomis made it 3-1 in injury time to grab his second of the match and restore the host's two-goal advantage .

An eight-year-old boy has been tested for every STD including HIV after he put a used condom in his mouth thinking it was a balloon. The boy picked up the unwrapped condom in his school playground at Bennett Elementary in Bennett, Colorado last week. His mother, who was only identified as Alicia to protect her son, said it would be a year before her son had the all-clear from his STD testing. Scroll down for video . The eight-year-old boy picked up a used condom and put it in his mouth in the Colorado school playground (pictured) thinking it was a balloon . His mother, who did not want to be identified to protect her son, said that the school district was refusing to pay for the healthcare costs now that her son must be tested for all STDs . The single mom told ABC7: 'He's at risk for HIV, Hepatitis C, Herpes, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia.' She added that her son's life could be forever changed by what happened and he could face millions of dollars in medical bills. The mother received an email from the school informing her of what her son had come across in the playground. The condom was thrown in the thrash by a member of the teaching staff so could not be tested for potential diseases. The school yard does not have surveillance cameras or fences. Bennett School District Superintendent Dennis Veal would not say if the school district was liable for health insurance payments to cover the child's treatment. Daily Mail Online was awaiting a response from Mr Veal on Thursday. The Colorado School Districts Self Insurance Pool called the incident 'regrettable' but said it was not liable for damages.

The handwritten notes of Samir al- Khlifawi explains in detail how ISIS were able to take control in Syria by infiltrating villages and using spies . The rapid growth and establishment of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has been far from an accidental rise of religious fanaticism, but a calculated move orchestrated by one of Saddam Hussein's closest men. A cache of documents, including the blueprints for an ISIS secret service and instructions on how to infiltrate and take control of local villages have been discovered in Syria, Der Spiegel reveals. The handwritten charts and notes of Samir al-Khlifawi, a former Iraqi Army colonel better known by nom de guerre Haji Bakr, explains in detail how ISIS were able to take control in the area. Earlier this month, MailOnline reported that ISIS militants are being led by a highly secretive group of strategists and officials that were once senior figures in Saddam Hussein's army. Despite thousands of foreign fighters flocking to join the Sunni extremist group and starring in their propaganda videos, ISIS' leadership is dominated by ex-members of the late Iraqi dictator's military. Almost all of the regional commanders appointed by ISIS' leader and self-declared caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, played prominent roles in the Baathist army before the 2003 invasion of Iraq and became involved with ISIS either in the resulting insurgency or after the dictator's 2006 execution. Haji Bakr is widely considered to have been ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's closest advisor and the overall head of his military council until his execution at the hands of a rebel group known as the Syrian Martyr's Brigade in January 2014. The new documents detailing the plans to take over Syrian villages and establish the caliphate, seen by the German magazine, were found in Haji Bakr's former home in Tal Rifaat, north of Aleppo in Syria, after his death. The 'blueprints' outline exactly how the group intended to infiltrate villages and cities by recruiting young men as spies and establishing a 'Stasi-like' secret service for internal surveillance. Haji Bakr writes how the group would open a 'Dawah office', an Islamic missionary centre, which would be used as a cover to screen young men for potential suitability. One or two men, in their late teens or early 20s, would then be asked to spy on their village on behalf of what would then become the Islamic State. Militants: Almost all the highly secretive officials overseeing the day-to-day running of the Islamic State (pictured) are former members of Saddam Hussein's Baathist army . Close: Haji Bakr is widely considered to have been ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's closest advisor and the overall head of his military council until his execution in January last year . One of the most prominent former Iraqi Army generals within ISIS was Abu Muslim al-Turkmani (left) who led the terrorists' operations in Iraq until he was killed in an American airstrike last November. Abu Ayman al-Iraqi (right), a former colonel in Iraqi Air Force intelligence now plays a leading role in ISIS' military council . Haji Bakr list specific information the 'spies' would be required to obtain, including; 'lists of the most powerful families, their source of income, size of rebel brigades and their leaders' and potential illegal activities and information which could be used for blackmail in the future. Haji Bakr also outlines that men loyal to ISIS would be selected to marry the daughters of the most influential families, in order to 'ensure penetration of these families without their knowledge,' Der Spiegel writes. Another document charts a command structure for an internal intelligence organisation, outlining who would spy on who 'in case they don't do their jobs well.' One former Syrian rebel who became an ISIS regional commander told the Washington Post that he found that almost all of the highly secretive officials overseeing all aspects to the terror group's day-to-day business were ex members of Hussein's Baathist army. As well as their extensive military expertise, another key element of the commanders' appointments has been the fact the ex-Baathists have extensive contacts among oil smugglers thanks to Hussein's efforts to avoid international sanctions in the 1990s. Crucially, oil smuggling is considered the most lucrative aspect of ISIS' £2 billion-a-year income. Influence: Despite thousands of foreign fighters flocking to join the Sunni extremist group and starring in their propaganda videos, ISIS' leadership is dominated by ex-members of the military of Saddam Hussein (pictured) Past: The process of giving former Iraqi commanders senior roles was started by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's predecessor Abu Omar al-Baghdadi (left) who was a former Iraqi Army officer and therefore more trusted than the Jordanian criminal, former gangster and ex-alcoholic who founded ISIS, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (right) The former Iraqi Army generals' connections with oil smugglers are crucial to ISIS' £2 billion-a-year income . Middle East analysts and experts believe one key reason why so many former Iraqi army commanders have joined ISIS is due to the de-Baathification law brought in L.­ Paul Bremer - the American who served as temporary head of the Iraqi state following the ousting of Hussein. The law effectively meant that 400,000 members of the defeated Iraqi army could no longer be employed in government roles and were barred from drawing their military pensions. Many of these highly-trained commanders joined the insurgency in the country in the mid-2000s, which was dominated by ISIS who at the time were known by the name Al Qaeda in Iraq. When al-Baghdadi took control of the group in 2010, many of these commanders were given prominent leadership roles in the hope they might win the support of the Sunni tribes who dominate Western Iraq and who have been largely ignored by the country's Shia-led Baghdad government. The process had, however been started by al-Baghdadi's predecessor Abu Omar al-Baghdadi who was himself a former Iraqi Army officer and therefore more trusted by the military than the Jordanian criminal, former gangster and ex-alcoholic who founded ISIS, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. One of the most prominent former Iraqi Army generals within ISIS was Fadel Ahmad Abdullah al-Hiyali, who used the code name Abu Muslim al-Turkmani, and was in charge of all the terrorists' operations in Iraq until he was killed in an American airstrike last November. He had previously been a colonel in military intelligence and served in Hussein's Republican Guard. Other senior figures include Abu Ali al-Anbari, who currently acts as Baghdadi's deputy leader in Syria and is a former military general in Hussein's Iraqi Army, and Abu Ayman al-Iraqi, a former colonel in Iraqi Air Force intelligence and now plays a leading role in ISIS' military council. Less prominent militants with an Iraqi Army backgrounds include Abu Ahmad al-Alwani - a former Baathist soldier and now an ISIS military council member, Abu Kassem - a former Iraqi officer and now in charge of ISIS suicide bombers and foreign fighters.

Ed Miliband today pledged to protect the jobs of 10,000 police officers as Labour claimed Tory cuts had allowed rapists and violent criminals to go free. The Labour leader said the bobby on the beat is 'at risk of disappearing', while rising numbers of serious criminals 'are being let off the hook'. But the launch of Labour's criminal justice plans risked being over-shadowed by the news that the party's police adviser, Lord Stephens, is be investigated over hotly disputed allegations of a cover-up of police corruption in the bungled Stephen Lawrence murder probe. Labour leader Ed Miliband said the bobby on the beat is 'at risk of disappearing', while rising numbers of serious criminals 'are being let off the hook' Mr Miliband hopes to get back on the front foot today with the promise of action to protect community policing. It comes after the chaotic launch of a plan to abolish non-dom tax status for foreigners and a deeply personal row with the Tories over claims he 'stabbed his brother in the back' and would do the same to Britain to get into power. Today Labour claims the police are 'struggling to keep up' with the rise in child sexual exploitation, terrorism and online crime while public safety is being 'put at risk' by a chaotic prison and probation system. Police and crime commissioners (PCCs) would be axed to help fund the £800 million plan to guarantee neighbourhood policing across England and Wales. PCCs were set up by the Tories to increase accountability, but turnout was just 15 per cent in elections held in 2011. Mr Miliband said: 'Because of the Conservatives' decisions, neighbourhood policing - the foundation of good British policing - is at risk of disappearing, whilst increasing numbers of serious criminals are being let off the hook. 'Labour has a better plan. We will make different choices, finding savings to safeguard 10,000 officers in the next three years. 'We will ensure victims are at the heart of the criminal justice system with the country's first ever victims' law. And we will ensure the police have the powers they need to keep us safe, including proper controls for dangerous terror suspects.' Mr Miliband and shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper joined with police officers from Ollerton Police Station during a walk around New Ollerton in Nottinghamshire . Ms Cooper claimed the Tories were planning deeper cuts to policing in the next Parliament 'even though the police are already struggling to keep up with rising complex cases' New laws would introduce a local policing commitment that required forces to guarantee neighbourhood policing and 10,000 officers would be safeguarded for three years, the party said. Axing the PCCs combined with charging higher fees for gun licences and requiring police forces to share services and carry out joint procurement would fund the plans, according to Labour. Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington headed an independent commission on policing by the Labour party. However, last night it emerged the former Metropolitan Police commissioner and crossbench peer, is to be investigated over the Lawrence murder inquiry. Labour said new laws would introduce a local policing commitment that required forces to guarantee neighbourhood policing and 10,000 officers would be safeguarded for three years . The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it will investigate claims that the former Met chief failed to hand over key information to the Macpherson Inquiry regarding the black teenager’s race hate killing. The watchdog probe stems from a complaint from Stephen’s father Neville Lawrence. Lord Stevens was deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police from 1998 to 2000 – while the Macpherson Inquiry report was being compiled – before serving five years as the UK’s most senior policeman. The complaint concerns a letter to the Macpherson Inquiry in 1998, in which Lord Stevens stated that no officer or former officer involved in giving evidence was under investigation for corruption. It is alleged that the letter included misleading information. A source said: ‘Any suggestion that anyone from the Met would seek to withhold the truth from the Macpherson Inquiry at that time is completely untrue. Last year Mark Ellison wrote to Lord Stevens to say he had done nothing wrong.’ Last night, Channel 4 News – which revealed details of the IPCC probe into Lord Stevens – quoted him as saying: ‘Step very carefully, I’m not putting up with any more c**p about this.’ Quoting from a letter he received from Mr Ellison, Lord Stevens was reported to have said: ‘No one is suggesting that you did anything that was culpable in any way.’ Despite the revelation, Lord Stevens was quoted by Labour backing their policing plans. He said: 'This is the right plan for neighbourhood policing, following the plans set out by the independent commission I had the pleasure to chair. 'It is not credible to say you can take away resources on the scale the Government are talking about without wiping out neighbourhood policing. ;And it doesn't show the right priorities to be spending significant sums on police and crime commissioners, nor to be ideologically opposed to the shared services and joint procurement that simply must be driven through.' 'Cover-up': Former Met Police commissioner Lord Stevens (left) is to be investigated into allegations of a cover-up over the Stephen Lawrence murder probe in the nineties . Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: 'Under the Tories we've seen fewer police on the beat, longer waits for 999 calls and less justice for victims as there have been fewer arrests and prosecutions for rising crimes like violence, rape or child sex offences. 'Now they plan deeper cuts to policing in the next Parliament even though the police are already struggling to keep up with rising complex cases such as child sexual exploitation, terrorism or online crime.' Labour's manifesto will commit to improved crime prevention and the introduction of a new child protection unit to tackle sexual exploitation. Prison reforms would see inmates spend more time working and learning while the controversial Prevent programme Labour introduced to stop radicalisation would be overhauled as part of plans to deal with the growing terror threat. But Tory Home Secretary Theresa May said the Government had increased the proportion of officers on the frontline. She added: 'These are the same tired, unfunded promises from a Labour party who tied up the police with red tape and central targets, and who have opposed everything we have done to help the police do more with less. 'People have had enough of Labour's made-up numbers and scaremongering. When we started to clear up the mess left by their legacy of debt, they warned that crime would rise. They were wrong: crime is down by more than a fifth under this Government, and has never been lower.'

Greece has demanded more than £200billion in compensation from Germany for Nazi atrocities during the Second World War. The government yesterday unveiled its final calculation for the war reparations stemming from occupation by the Third Reich. The radical left Syriza party says Germany owes Greece nearly 279billion euros, or £204billion to compensate it for looting and war crimes. Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras raised the reparations issue when he met German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin last month . The German government says the issue was resolved legally years ago. The demand comes just days before Greece is obliged to pay 450million euros of its debt to the International Monetary Fund. Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister, has said the country ‘intends to meet all obligations to all its creditors, ad infinitum’. Greece suffered a brutal occupation at the hands Adolf Hitler’s forces in 1941. More than 40,000 people are believed to have starved to death in Athens alone. Yesterday a parliamentary committee established by Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras for the first time put an official number on the reparations claim. It includes the cost of a 10billion euro forced Nazi loan made by the Bank of Greece and the return of archaeological treasures. The revised figures amount to nearly 10 per cent of Germany's GDP. Mr Tsipras raised the reparations issue when he met German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin last month. He has called the reparations question a ‘moral and ethical’ issue for his country. The new figure was revealed yesterday by Greek deputy finance minister Dimitris Mardas. ‘According to our calculations, the debt linked to German reparations is 278.7bn euros,’ he told a parliamentary committee investigating responsibility for Greece's debt crisis. Mr Mardas said the reparations calculation had been made by Greece's state general accounting office. Berlin paid 115m deutschmarks to Athens in 1960 in compensation – a fraction of the Greek demand. Greece says this did not cover payments for damaged infrastructure, war crimes and the return of the forced loan. Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister, has said the country ‘intends to meet all obligations to all its creditors, ad infinitum’ Yesterday a parliamentary committee established by Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras for the first time put an official number on the reparations claim . Germany insists the reparations issue was settled in 1990 legally and politically before Germany reunified. Syriza politicians have frequently blamed Germany for the hardship suffered by Greeks under the tough bailout conditions imposed by international lenders. Ministers have floated the idea of seizing German assets in the country to compensate the families of victims of Nazi war crimes. A poll carried for Greek radio found more than 80 per cent of Greeks agreed with the pusuit of Nazi war debt claims. Yesterday Greek MPs also voted to establish a committee examining the circumstances of its 2010 bail-out by eurozone creditors and the IMF to the tune of 240billion euros. ‘After five years of parliamentary silence on the major issues that caused the bailout catastrophe, today we commence a procedure that will give answers to the questions concerning the Greek people,’ Mr Tsipras said. Finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has claimed the economy was unfairly lumbered with the liabilities that it is now struggling to pay off as its coffers run empty. He has claimed Europe dealt with his country's bankruptcy by ‘loading the largest loan in human history on the weakest of shoulders - the Greek taxpayer’.

He's branded himself Britain's 'flashiest playboy', and to prove he's happy to splash his cash, multi-millionaire Danny Lambo has bought his girlfriend a £10,000 Easter present. The boastful 37-year-old hotelier, who has previously said he enjoys flaunting his wealth, paid for a luxury bath to be fitted in the home of Natasha Flynn, 29, that runs pure chocolate milk. The bespoke gift, which is now available to buy, costs £1,000 each time to fill - with melted chocolate containing an astonishing 1.3 million calories. Scroll down for video . 'Flash playboy' Danny Lambo posing with girlfriend Natasha Flynn inside her £10,000 Easter gift - a chocolate bath . Natasha enjoys a flake in the £10,000 bath, which contains 205 litres of melted milk chocolate . Danny - whose actual surname is Karne but he claims he is known as 'Lambo' because of his passion for Lamborghinis - had the first-of-its-kind bath made as an Easter treat for his 'queen'. He said: 'Cleopatra was the ultimate queen of luxury so a bath that runs chocolate instead of water was the perfect Easter gift for the queen in my life. 'A standard Easter egg was just not going to cut it this year, so I wanted to get a show-stopping gift to show Natasha my love. 'Part of my work with my VIP contacts involves travelling the world to find rare artefacts, and recently during a research trip in Egypt I learnt a lot about Cleopatra and her fascinating habit of bathing in donkey's milk. 'I thought my girlfriend deserved the same but I wanted to take it up a notch - why not chocolate?' The brash Croydon-born entrepreneur, who claims he left school with no qualifications, says he was told by his headmaster that he would fail in life. Natasha poses in the bath - her Easter gift from Danny 'Lambo', the hotelier worth £25m . Danny, whose actual surname is Karne, is known as 'Lambo' because of his passion for extra-loud Lamborghinis. He has bought cars from the likes of rapper 50 cent . But years later he says he claims to be living a luxury lifestyle that sees him jetting around the world meeting Middle Eastern royalty, buying cars from rappers like 50 Cent and, of course, treating the ladies to the finer things in life. The Landmark Touchstone Bath is adapted to include a separate, refillable chocolate-warming reservoir plumbed to supply a pressurised flow of liquid in the tub which has a 205-litre capacity. The pressurised taps even mean the chocolate develops froth - allowing Natasha to relax in bubbles. The Landmark Touchstone Bath from bathstore is adapted to include a separate refillable chocolate warming reservoir that is plumbed to supply a pressurised chocolate flow through the taps on request, without affecting the normal function of the water flow, taps or bath. It's a freestanding, steep-sided bath is made from in non-stick, thermally efficient material to keep chocolate fluid, and is supplied with a slotted waste and a 205 litre capacity, for an ultra-luxurious chocolate bathing experience. Mr Lambo, a hotelier from Mayfair, London, went to the bathstore in Baker Street with his unusual request, and said he was delighted when they were able to start working on his idea. Danny, who is reportedly worth £25 million and the star of new TV show, the Broker, added: 'The bath is perfect for a chocoholic like her, not to mention the perfect fit for Easter. 'I went to bathstore with my idea, and although they thought I was a bit crazy they took on the project and found a way to make it work; it's brilliant.' Natasha, who relaxed while eating a Flake chocolate bar in the bath, said: 'It really is amazing. I adore chocolate and love having a bath so this is my idea of heaven. 'And when you get out your skin feels great and smells delicious. Easter is my favourite time of year because of all of the chocolate. 'I love to have a chocolate bar in my tub while I bathe - it's so indulgent, it's perfect. This the best Easter ever, Danny's outdone himself with this present.' The chocolate bath is now available to buy and prices start from £10,000. When he's not managing his three hotels and property empire, Danny claims he likes to enjoy swanky £10,000-plus drinks at his six-storey Mayfair townhouse, which once belonged to Tory Prime Minister Anthony Eden, or at his other property overlooking the Thames. He thinks nothing of spending an extravagant £5,000 on meals at trendy west London restaurants like Chiltern Firehouse and Novikov - and his home boasts plenty of antiques - which include a four-poster bed that he claims once belonged to Napoleon. Natasha says she 'adores' chocolate - and claim her skin feels 'great' after having a chocolate bath .

He is part of a new generation of self made millionaires flaunting their wealth . His purple Diabolo Lamborghinis has the loudest exhaust in Britain, and has proved hell for his neighbours in west London . His other vices include judging beauty contests like Miss USSR UK and chatting up contestants at the Miss World finals. Despite his ostentatious ways, Danny claims he is a good person with a kind-heart who is just enjoying life. And despite his extravagant and flashy ways he says, he knows the value of money after growing up in a normal household. 'I'm not going to hide my wealth, I don't know why I should. I've worked hard for this. I wasn't born with a silver shoe, so why not flash it? 'I became a millionaire when I was 22 and I'm the type of person that if I have money I'll spend it. 'I'm not going to take it to the grave with me. 'When I'm dead and dusted I'll leave what I have left to charities, friends and family, but while I'm still here I'm going to spend it.' Danny, who owns a £100k Chopard watch, claims he is well-liked by the established wealth in London, despite appearing to flaunt his wealth. He claims grew up in a normal household with one brother and two sisters in Croydon, south London. Both his parents were teachers who encouraged him to get a full and rounded education - but Danny says he aspired to be something brighter and bolder. The self-confessed daydreamer left school aged 16 without any qualifications - thanks in part to a chance encounter with a Japanese music producer. Danny and his friends were singing in a London bar when they were scouted and invited to tour the Far East, with the intention of later marketing them back to a Western audience. 'We were offered a record deal and so I literally walked out of school before my final exams and headmaster said: 'Hey, Danny where are you going?'. 'I said, 'I'm going to Japan to become a pop star'. He replied 'you're going to fail in life'. He bought a 30-room B&B in Paddington and with the help of his interior-designer older sister converted it into The Pavilion hotel (pictured) - and it soon became a celebrity hotspot . Danny Lambo, pictured at the Pavilion Hotel, that stars including Morrissey, Duran Duran, Pete Doherty, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell have visited . 'I told him to get lost and we walked out and went to Japan.' Over the next four years, Danny toured girls' schools and other venues in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, living out of a suitcase and spending most of his time rehearsing and performing or living in hotels. When the band finished, Danny was forced to turn to the one thing he did know after several years on the road. 'The hotel kind of became my world outside of the music,' said Danny, who was the lead singer in the group called Jealous. 'For 21 hours of the day we'd just be hanging out in the hotels. It was all I knew. My best mate would be the concierge and I'd be dating the chambermaids. 'So when I got out of the music industry when I was 21, having sent every penny I'd saved back home, the only thing I knew how to do was run a hotel. 'I didn't have any qualifications but I could make a bed with my eyes shut, I knew how the concierge ran and I knew how the reception ran.' On his return he bought a 30-room B&B in Paddington and with the help of his interior-designer older sister converted it into The Pavilion hotel - and it soon became a celebrity hotspot. 'We had all the big bands staying with us like Morrissey, Duran Duran, Pete Doherty. And, of course, where the rock stars go, the fashion models follow. 'So we had Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss come in and all the supermodels of the time would come for photo-shoots.' The hotel later became known as The Pavilion Fashion Rock 'n' Roll Hotel due to its themed rooms and celebrity clientele. This success he claimed was then followed by more hotels and property investments, which make up the bulk of his £25m wealth. With the money coming in, Danny claims he was able to live a life most men in their 20s can only dream of - especially when it came to indulging his passion for fast cars and beautiful women.

(CNN) An Asiana Airlines plane overran a runway while landing at Japan's Hiroshima Airport on Tuesday evening, prompting the airport to temporarily close, the Japanese transportation ministry said. Twenty-three people had minor injuries after Flight 162 landed at 8:05 p.m., according to fire department and ministry sources. There were 73 passengers and eight crew members -- including five cabin attendants, two pilots and a maintenance official -- aboard when the flight took off from South Korea's Incheon International Airport at 6:34 p.m. local time, Asiana said in a statement late Tuesday. Authorities are investigating initial reports that the Airbus A320 may have hit an object on the runway during landing, causing damage to the rear of its body and the cover of the engine on the left wing, the ministry said.
