Despite his daughter remaining in a medically induced coma since she was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her Atlanta home in January, singer Bobby Brown told an audience on Saturday night that she is 'awake.' Bobby was performing at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas when he told the stunned audience that 'Bobbi is awake. She's watching me.' The singer didn't elaborate on if his daughter had regained consciousness or if he was talking instead about her spirit. After the 46-year-old's comment, his sister Tina posted on Facebook, '[Bobbi] woke up and is no longer on life support!!!!!:):)God is good!!thanks for your prayers,,still a process,but she is going to be ok:):):):).' But TMZ reported on Monday that Whitney Houston's family insists the 22-year-old is not awake and is the same condition she was when she entered the facility. Scroll down for video . Singer Bobby Brown was performing at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas on Saturday night when he told the stunned audience that 'Bobbi is awake. She's watching me' 'She's in the exact same condition she was in when she went into the facility.' a source told the site, adding the budding singer will only blink occasionally. She is still on a ventilator. There have been reports in recent weeks that Bobby and his desire to keep his daughter on life support is at odds with the family of his deceased ex-wife Whitney Houston. Bobbi Kristina's aunt Pat Houston and grandmother Cissy Houston both believe that the time has come to take her off life support as she has shown no signs of improvement. 'Of course Bobby wants Krissy to wake up and return to her life. That's all he wants. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of hope and the Houston family is resigned to the fact that keeping Krissy on life support may not be the best option,' a source told the Inquistr. 'They don't think what Bobby is doing is the best thing for her.' A source close to Bobbi Kristina's family reportedly said that 'nothing has improved' for her even after she was moved to the DeKalb Medical facility in Atlanta in mid-March. According to sources, the family is also concerned if Bobby Brown will remain available to make an emergency medical decision for Bobbi Kristina as he might head to Australia next month. Bobby Brown spoke for the first time about daughter Bobbi Kristina in Los Angeles a week ago on Saturday and admitted: 'I dunno what the hell ​I am going through right now, but I am giving it to God and letting him deal with ​it' Unresponsive: On January 31, Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in her bathtub. She's been in a coma ever since . Last week, Bobby Brown made his first public appearance since the aspiring actress was hospitalized by performing at the Soul Food Festival in Los Angeles. During the 11 April performance the singer admitted 'I dunno what the hell ​I am going through right now, but I am giving it to God and letting him deal with ​it.' In an emotional outburst during a concert Bobby appeared close to tears as he referenced his daughter's ongoing battle for her life.​ . He looked tired and grief stricken at times during his performance, his first public appearance since Bobbi Kristina fell into a coma. The one-time boy band star shied away from talking in detail about his daughter but instead admitted these were 'rough times.' However, in an odd moment during his 45-minute set, he took time out to promote his range of BBQ sauces. Bobby performed a set of his old hits for 4,000 fans at the Soul Food Festival ​in downtown Los Angeles ​after months staying by his daughter Bobbi Kristina's side. The 46-year-old was given the biggest cheer of the night as he took to the stage to play hits like Don't Be Cruel and ​On Our Own. ​After his drawn-out introduction Bobby, looking tired from performing dance moves, choked up as he said: 'I must ​tell y'all. This feels really, ​really really good. 'I want to thank all of y'all for coming out tonight​ to support me and my family. Broke his silence: The former boy bander's appearance was booked before Bobbi Kristina fell into a coma. It was also Brown's first time discussing the matter in public . ​'Rough times are rough times, hard times are hard times I dunno what the hell ​I am going through right now, but I am giving it to God and letting him deal with it.' ​Panting and sounding frustrated: '​There is only one thing I ask of you all tonight and that is enjoy yourselves.' Smiling he added: 'Don't be cruel, come on,' referring to one of his biggest hits​ the 80s. ​After a few other tunes, Bobby needed a break from the stage to rest while his boyband performed a number. Bobby needed a towel to wipe his face and often looked out of breath as he relived dance moves from his glory days. Later he was a little less emotional as fans cheered his performances of hits like Roni and Rock Witcha. Had a booth: Brown told the LA crowd, 'Listen I have been doing a lot of things and been working on a lot of projects from Real Husbands Of Hollywood to my own stuff to my new album to my new Edition to Heads Of States and I have been working on my food line; actually you all can get some food right there, in my booth' Looking toward his stand where his Bobby Brown BBQ cooking tent was set up at the festival, he told the crowd: 'Listen I have been doing a lot of things and been working on a lot of projects from Real Husbands Of Hollywood to my own stuff, to my new album, to my new Edition to Heads Of States, and I have been working on my food line. Actually you all can get some food right there, in my booth. ​'​I will over there in a little bit​ later, if you want to buy some barb​e​cue sauce, seasonings, chicken and a couple of sausages. I don'​t know what my wife is cooking ​- whatever it, is is good. You have got to get the season​ing​, because the seasoning is off the chain, I must let you know.' ​Bobby then asked a bandmate to talk about another brand, but fired back: 'Mine is much better, low in sodium content​, low in salt for us folk if, you understand what I ​am saying. ​'So I made this for us.' Wiping away sweat from his face, he added: 'I ain't done with it yet. I got marinades and all kind of s*** coming out.' He then corrected himself: 'Excuse my French baby girl. I didn't mean to curse in front of you. And ladies too.' He then introduced his new ​R&B​ boy band band 'who can saanng.' 'You just listen and tell me if you like it.' Back to work: Brown's pregnant wife Alicia Etheredge was also at the food festival, selling Bobby Brown's BBQ sauce . ​Bobby's appearance marks his first time away from Bobbi in months. He had been scheduled to make the appearance before his daughter's accident. Bobbi remains hospitalized and in a coma after being found unconscious and face-down in a bathtub on January 31. The Soul Food Festival is among a string of appearances Bobby is contractually obligated to fulfill/ The singer is also scheduled to leave daughter Bobbi to tour in Australia. Even though he doesn't want to go, the promoters are holding the distraught father to his contractual obligation, TMZ reports. Bobbi Kristina remains on life support in a long-term care center in Atlanta, Georgia, after being treated at the city's Emory University Hospital where the ex-husband of Whitney Houston visits her regularly. Reportedly Bobby has the final say as to whether the young woman's support system is turned off.

Women from around the world have been writing letters to convicted Australian serial killer Ivan Milat since he was locked up in a maximum security prison twenty years ago, a new book reveals. The Milat Letters, is a compilation of 94 notes from Milat to his eldest nephew Alistair Shipsey. Milat is serving seven consecutive life sentences for the murders of seven backpackers in NSW between 1989 and 1992. In the letters, he tells Shipsey about his 'fair share' of 'sheilas', who write 'some frightening things' - and one woman who has even proposed. 'Every month someone new writes; the latest one was from Texas. She tells me she’s 25, white. I ought to ask her “why” as she only knows me from a website, and there’s nothing nice about me on it,' one of the letters reads. 'As you know there are a lot of wackos out there as well. A lot of them write to me at times. I tell you Al, there are some real crazy people out and about.' Scroll down for video . Ivan Milat butchered and buried the bodies of seven young people between 1989 and 1992 in the Belanglo State Forest in southern NSW . Ivan Milat, 70, was convicted of butchering seven young people between 1989 and 1992 and burying their bodies in the Belanglo State Forest in southern NSW. He has been locked up in Goulburn's Supermax jail for almost 20 years. Now, Shipsey, a 55-year-old former Rebels bikie gang member who has been banned from visiting Milat in prison, says he has released the book of his uncle's letters for 'those who want to read the facts.' 'I have done this purely to show how the system can vilify a person without giving them a fair trial or a chance to appeal to his convictions,' Shipsey says on his Milat Letter Facebook page. The book's blurb reads: ‘Innocent or guilty?' and Shipsey promises ‘you won’t be able to put it down’. ‘They say he had someone or others with him – but we will never know. He still denies his guilt in the brutal murders that were carried out in the Belanglo forest between 1989 and 1992. He has been inside for twenty years now,' the promo reads. The 55-year-old former Rebels bikie gang member has compiled the letters into a $32 book . Titled 'The Milat Letters', Shipsey (left) promises 'you won’t be able to put it down'. Ivan Milat (right) is currently serving seven life sentences . Some of Milat's letters detail his correspondence with women from the United States, Japan and Australia in the years he has been behind prison bars, News.com.au reports. 'I get my share of women writing to me - some real good looking ones, too (if it’s their photographs they’re sending),' Milat wrote. 'For some reason, they all say they’re around 20 to 30 years old, though their writing suggests they’re much older. I’m very careful of my replies. I’m not real keen writing to the young ones.' One woman, who has written to Milat from the day he was charged in 1994, is Margaret, one of two women he was acquitted of raping at knife-point in 1971. During his trial, Milat's then-lawyer successfully argued that the girls were liars. 'I still hear from Margaret who is writing to me, though I think someone presses her button just to see what I say. This crazy sheila (in her 50s now) has been writing to me ever since my arrest and sending me weird photos. She is unbelievable,' Milat wrote. 'I get my share of women writing to me - some real good looking ones, too (if it’s their photographs they’re sending),' Milat wrote to his nephew Alistair Shipsey, who has released a book of his letters . In one letter, Milat, a former road worker, told his nephew he thinks  HenryVIII - who had two of his wives beheaded - 'had the right idea how to deal with women' In another letter, Milat tells his nephew he has also been propositioned. 'Why they write to me is a puzzle. I often get letters, even had some crazy f... from Mulewa prison writing to me (I used to write to her in the past - she was doing a few years and got out but it lasted about three months),' Milat wrote. 'She started writing again; in her last letter she asked me to marry her. I haven’t replied yet.' But Milat doesn't seem to be particularly enamoured by the writers of any of his love letters. In one note, he tells Shipsey he thinks HenryVIII - who had two of his wives beheaded - 'had the right idea how to deal with women'. Shipsey says Milat doesn't like talking about 'sexual things'. An extract from one of the letters from Milat, written before he chopped his own finger off with a plastic knife in January 2009, affectionately refers to Shipsey as 'Al . The first two bodies of Milat’s victims were discovered on September 19 and 20 1992, when two runners found a decaying corpse in the Belanglo State Forest. Police later confirmed the bodies were of missing British backpackers Caroline Clarke and Joanne Walters. Walters had been stabbed 35 times and Clarke had been shot 10 times in the head. The grim finds were just the beginning of a long and extensive search which resulted in the bodies of Australians Deborah Everist and James Gibson being found in October 1993, followed by Simone Schmidl’s stabbed body in November of the same year. British backpacker Caroline Clarke had been shot 10 times in the head when police found her body . The decapitated body of German backpacker Anja Habschied was then found along with her boyfriend Gabor Neugebauer on 3 November 1993 in shallow graves 50 metres apart. Milat was convicted of the seven backpacker murders on July 27, 1996 and for the attempted murder, false imprisonment and robbery of Paul Onions. He kept the shirts, sleeping bags, a water bottle, portable stove and backpacks of his victims hidden in roof and wall cavities, in what was described as an 'Aladdin's Cave', in the house he was arrested in 20 years ago. First victims: Australians James Gibson and Deborah Everist, both aged 19, were Ivan Milat's first known victims after they disappeared in December 1989 and their bodies were found in the Belanglo State forest almost four years later . Simone Schmidl's body was found in November 1993. She had been stabbed to death . Boyfriend and girlfriend German backpackers Gabor Neugebauer and Anja Habschied were found dead on 3 November 1993 in shallow graves 50 metres apart . In prison, Milat has been a troublesome inmate, having planned at least one escape and swallowing metal objects so he could get out of jail. Other extracts from his letters, tell 'Al' why he chopped his own finger off with a plastic knife in prison in January 2009. ‘I will send them parts of my hand first, I have been considering this for a while and only need half a reason to show them how I feel with their sh**head ideas, there is not much they can do to me any more and at my age I don't give a f**k.' Milat tried to send his finger it in a padded envelope to the High Court. 'I do battle to cope with this sh***y claustrophobic place, no windows, it's like a cement coffin. I suffer badly at times, I think the walls close in, no air, it's a real sh*t feeling, no I will never plead with the p***s.' British backpacker Joanne Walters, is another one of the victims of backpacker murderer Ivan Milat . Sinister souvenir: In this photograph police seized from the house of Ivan Milat's brother William, the serial killer is seen carrying the sleeping bag which belonged to Deborah Everist who with boyfriend Jame Gibson was the first of Milat's victims killed in the Belanglo State Forest . Alistair Shipsey says the new book gives readers the chance to picture what a prison cell 'does to a man's mind over years.' 'This is in his words not someone making a story up, he didn't know I was ever going to do this so there's no lies in it, just facts,' Shipsey says. 'You can read the way he lives in supermax in his cement coffin.' On a Facebook page used to advertise the book, Shipsey makes his thoughts around his uncle’s imprisonment clear and blames the media for not reporting the real facts. He says no money from the $32 book’s sales will go to Milat because ‘he doesn’t need it where he is.’ Daily Mail Australia has contacted Shipsey for comment. Australia's worst serial killer Ivan Milat kept trophies to remind him of each murder . In prison, Milat, has been a troublesome inmate, having planned at least one escape, swallowing metal objects and cutting off his own finger to send to the High Court in an envelope .

A New York City bus driver is facing possible termination after video emerged of him looking at papers and driving with his wrists and forearms. A woman who boarded the driver's bus in Ozone Park, Queens, recorded the unidentified driver marking a set of papers with a highlighter and looking away from the road. She was 'shocked' that the driver's behavior continued the entire ten minutes she was on the bus, in which all the seats were full. A New York City bus driver running a route in Queens is facing possible termination after an unidentified commuter recorded him driving with papers in his hand . The driver was seen with both hands on a piece of paper, believed to be a timetable for his route replacing the closed section of a subway, and driving the bus with his wrists and forearms . The commuter who captured the distracted driving on a bus with only standing room said that the behavior occurred the entire time she was travelling . 'He jeopardized the lives of everyone on that bus and anyone on the street,' the commuter said. The papers in his hand were likely timetables used to make sure he was stopping at all the correct junctures on Saturday evening, the New York Post reported, citing a transit source. The bus was being used to replace part of a subway line closed for maintenance during the weekend. New York's Metro Transportation Authority, which runs the city's buses, said that 'bus operators are expected to have their full attention on safe operations at all times'. The driver has been taken out of passenger service while the agency investigates, and could face possible penalties including termination or retraining depending on his work history, according to a New York Post source. New York City adopted new laws last year as part of an effort to eliminate traffic accidents, such as the February 2014 crash between an city bus and a truck that careened into a building on 7th Avenue . This weekend's video comes as New York City has targeted speeding and reckless motorists in a bid to eliminate traffic deaths . A law pushed into law by Mayor Bill DeBlasio last August has increased penalties on drivers, including MTA employees, who hit pedestrians after failing to yield. Bus drivers have said they are under attack by the new regulations, and that accidents happen even when drivers are doing their jobs properly. At least nine pedestrians were killed by transportation authority buses last year, according to the New York Times.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is a dream target for Inter Milan, according to general director Marco Fassone. The Italian giants are keen to sign the 31-year-old this summer, a player Inter coach Roberto Mancini knows well having guided him from 2010 until 2013 at the Barclays Premier League club. Gazzetta dello Sport claim Inter are prepared to submit an offer of 60million euros (£43million) for the Ivory Coast international, who is under contract with the Blues outfit until June 2017. Serie A side Inter Milan hope to sign Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure (front) this summer . Inter general director Marco Fassone fears City's asking price and Toure's wages could be too much . 'Who doesn't dream of having a player like him? Toure would give our midfield line something that we are lacking,' Fassone told Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport. 'But his wages and City's asking price might be a big obstacle.' Toure has scored seven goals and set up one more in 22 Premier League appearances this term for City. Inter are also working on new deals for their Argentina forward Mauro Icardi and Croatia midfielder Mateo Kovacic. Icardi is Inter's top scorer this season with 15 goals and is tied to the Nerazzurri for a further three seasons, while Kovacic, who is a reported target of Liverpool, is under contract with inter until June 2019. Inter striker Mauro Icardi is on the verge of signing a new contract with the club, according to Marco Fassone . Mateo Kovacic, pictured celebrating a goal against Cagliari, is also in talks over an extended deal . 'We are almost there with respect to Icardi's contract extension,' Fassone said. 'We want to keep him just as we want to keep Kovacic. 'We will evaluate with great care (their) eventual offers. 'It's clear that if we want to sign three players (this summer) we will need to evaluate those that will depart.' Inter's priority right now is to tie Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic to a long-term contract. Goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, pictured against Napoli, has been linked with Roma and Manchester United . The Slovenia international has been linked with Roma as well as Manchester United and becomes a free agent next season. 'Handanovic's renewal is an issue that we must resolve at once,' Fassone said. 'We need to understand what he wants. 'We cannot go into next season knowing that our goalkeeper's contract expires.' Inter are currently 10th in Serie A with 10 league games remaining.

An amateur cyclist is planning to ride the entire Tour de France - considered the most gruelling race in professional cycling - on a Raleigh Chopper. Dave Sim has put in months of training aboard his bright yellow Mark Three Chopper in preparation to ride all 2077 miles of the 2015 Tour de France route this summer. The 36-year-old personal trainer from Southport, Merseyside, is hoping his stunt will inspire people to get out and ride themselves. Scroll down for video . Dave Sim, 36, rides his Raleigh Chopper on the L'Etape du Tour last year. He now hopes to cycle the entire Tour de France . The tour involves many hill climbs which are grueling even for professionals using high-performance road bikes . Mr Sim and two others, who are using proper road bikes, attempt a hill climb in France last year . Mr Sim said his Chopper is as close to standard as possible, but required a better seat and tweaked brakes . Mr Sim said his Chopper - the 2004 revival of the iconic 1970's children's bike - is as close to standard as possible. He said: 'I've tried to make as few changes as possible so it's got the original tyres. 'The main thing I've changed is the seat post and the pedal arms as it was originally designed for kids. 'And the wheels - on the first part of the race through Northern France, there are a lot of sections of really terrible cobbles, so a guy made me some really strong wheels as I kept breaking spokes. 'I've also had to put slightly better brakes on as well. 'Up the biggest climbs it gets a bit grim, it was just two degrees at the top of one, the Col de Tourmalet - it took me forever to get down, I was almost hypothermic at the bottom.' While it's by far the longest ride he's attempted, Mr Sim has completed long rides on the Chopper before. Mr Sim attempted the L'Etape du Tour on the Raleigh Chopper last year and finished in the top 20 per cent . Mr Sim hopes his audacious attempt to ride the Tour de France will inspire others to take up cycling . Pictured left, Mr Sim stands with others riding the L'Etape du Tour. Right, he is pictured with his Chopper in the Lake District . He said: 'I did the L'Etape du Tour last year it's a mass start event where thousands do a stage of the Tour de France on closed roads. 'Lots of people didn't think I could do it, but I thought, why not have a go? 'I did really well, got a really good time, I was in the top 20 per cent, so the next morning, I thought about doing the full tour. 'I thought, if I could do one day, is it possible to do the whole tour? 'After the Etape I shouldn't have wanted to even see a Chopper again, but it was a bit of a Eureka moment, that's where it came from. 'I come from a cycling family, my mum and dad would take me to see the Tour, riding up mountains is in my blood. 'It's always been a bit of a dream to ride the Tour de France, I won't do it again, my dad said he never would have thought I'd do it on a chopper!' He said: 'Part of the motivation was to show people you don't need a £10,000 bike to do amazing things on - my bike cost me £100, and I'm doing the Tour on it. With a bike, it's mostly to do with the engine. 'In the last five years the cost of road cycling has sky rocketed but you don't need all that, you just need to get out and ride. 'The other side of the challenge is to raise as much money for Help for Heroes as possible.' Mr Sim also hopes his stunt will raise as much money as possible for charity Help for Heroes .

Dave Sim has spent months training to ride Tour route on a Chopper . The 36-year-old personal trainer hopes to inspire people to begin riding . His Raleigh Chopper is the 2004 revival of the classic 1970s kids' bike . He said it had 'always been a dream' to ride the famous Tour de France .

A Spanish woman found dead alongside her British partner and two children in Gibraltar is believed to have killed her family before taking her own life. Anarda De La Caridad Perez Friman, 37, is said to have been 'suffering from post-natal depression' when she allegedly stabbed John Joseph Shannon, 31, the couple's six-week-old baby and her daughter, four. Mr Shannon, from Liverpool, had initially been accused of killing his partner and the two children, but police now believe Perez Friman, a Spanish national of Cuban descent, to be the culprit. Scene: John Joseph Shannon, from Liverpool, was found dead alongside his partner Anarda De La Caridad Perez Friman, 37, their six-week-old baby Eve and Perez Friman's daughter . The couple and the two children, identified as Eve Shannon Perez, and Amanda Kristoffersen Perez, Perez Friman's daughter from a previous relationship, were found dead earlier this week. According to police, the scene was so horrific that the officers who found their bodies were offered counselling. The family, who lived in Estepona, Spain, had arrived in Gibraltar on March 25, and were staying in an apartment in the Boschetti Steps area owned by a family friend. Perez Friman is said to have suffered a 'psychotic incident' as a result of post-natal depression, and stabbed her partner and the two children before taking her own life, the Sunday Express reports. According to the newspaper, Mr Shannon's body was found with defensive wounds which suggest that he has been trying to protect the children before being killed. Accusations: Initial reports indicated that Mr Shannon was responsible for the gruesome killings, but police now believe that Perez Friman suffered a 'psychotic incident' as a result of post-natal depression . Acting superintendent Wayne Tunbridge, who is leading the investigation, said: 'We are not looking for anyone outside of the family at this stage but we have numerous lines of enquiry. 'We are in communication with the family members of the four deceased who now must come to Gibraltar before we release any details about the individuals. The family were found in the rented flat in the Boschetti's Steps area at 11.35am on Monday. Royal Gibraltar Police said the family had been living in Estepona, Malaga before arriving in Gibraltar and 'it is understood that it was their intention to travel to the United Kingdom'. Gibraltar police is now awaiting the results of postmortem examinations conducted by Home Office pathologists.

The baggage handler who caused an emergency landing when he woke up inside the cargo hold of an airborne flight has come forward for the first time to detail the frightening experience, but still won't explain how he fell asleep to begin with. Willa Junior sat down with ABC News for an interview, and says he was exhausted and dozed off while loading a plane at Seattle-Tacoma Airport on April 13 and woke up when a piece of luggage landed on his head. The airport worker, who appears to be in his early 20s according to Facebook, wouldn't explain how he had the time to take a nap on the plane but says it used to be common practice: 'I mean when I first started the job, we took naps.' Scroll down for video . Taking responsibility: Willa Junior is the Seattle-Tacoma baggage handler who fell asleep in the cargo hold of a plane earlier this month, and became trapped inside when the plane took off . Making headlines: Junior, who appears to be in his early 20s according to Facebook, sat down for an interview with ABC News to speak about the harrowing and embarrassing experience . Nap time: Junior says he was exhausted when he dosed off while loading an Alaska Airlines flight on April 13. Above, a picture of Junior being rescued from the cargo hold after the plane was forced to turn around . Rude awakening: Junior woke up when a piece of luggage landed on him and then he called 911 - but his call cut out after just 44 seconds . Since it was pitch black inside the cargo hold, Junior was at first confused and disoriented but then quickly realized that the plane was moving. 'In my mind, I said, "This is not happening. This is just a joke."' Junior . His first move was to call his company, Menzies Aviation, which provides baggage services for airlines. But the person who answered the call at the office thought it was a prank call and just hung up. Desperately, Junior next called 911 and struggled to communicate to the dispatcher his unusual and unlikely situation. 'Hello, I'm trapped in this plane,' Junior tells the operator in audio released of the 911 call. 'You're where?' the dispatcher asks. 'I'm inside a plane.I feel like it's moving in the air. Flight 448. Can you please sent someone to stop it?' Junior says. Unfortunately the phone call cut out after 44 seconds and then Junior was on his own. That's when he started to lose hope, sending a text message to his mother saying he loved her, afraid he was going to die. Last words: Junior says he was scared he was going to die, so he sent a text message to his mother, saying he loved her. The area Junior was trapped in was pressurized and temperature controlled, so his life was never threatened . Help me! After his call to 911 cut out, Junior started banging on the ceiling of the cargo hold and passengers and crew heard, prompting the flight to turn around . Turn around: The pilot headed back to Seattle after just 14 minutes in the air. Junior says he is sorry for the passengers whose flight to Los Angeles he delayed . Luckily that was never the case since the cargo hold where Junior fell asleep is temperature controlled and pressurized, so he was never in danger of freezing or running out of oxygen. What saved Junior from being trapped on the flight for it's two and a half hour journey to Los Angeles was his decision to start banging on the roof of the cargo floor. 'I was yelling, "Help me, somebody’s down here,"' he said. Junior's cries for help were so loud that passengers and crew members heard and the plane was turned around after just 14 minutes in the air. Junior is currently still employed at Menzies, but he has been permanently banned from working on Alaska Airlines flights - one of the biggest airlines that fly our of Sea-Tac Airport. He says he is incredibly sorry for all of the trouble his nap caused, especially to the passengers whose plane he delayed.

Willa Junior took a nap in the cargo hold of a plane at Seattle-Tacoma Airport on April 13, and woke up after the flight to Los Angeles took off . The baggage handler, who appears to be in his 20s according to Facebook, tried calling his company and 911 but his phone eventually failed . He says he was afraid he might die, so he texted his mother a message, telling her 'I love you' In a last ditch effort, Junior started banging on the ceiling of the cargo hold and his yells were so loud that passengers and crew heard . The flight was turned around after just 14 minutes in the air and returned to Seattle where Junior was rescued . Junior is still employed at his company, but is no longer allowed to work on Alaska Airlines flights - one the largest airlines that fly out of Seattle .

An Irish tourist accused of leaving his brother in a coma after a late night argument in Sydney has pleaded guilty to recklessly causing grievous bodily harm after the crown declined to downgrade the charge. But Barry Lyttle, 33, will now be sentenced in Sydney's local court, where the maximum jail term is two years, rather than the district court, where people could face up to 10 years for that offence. Patrick Lyttle, 31, was rushed to hospital and spent six days in a coma after he was allegedly struck by his brother, Barry in Kings Cross in Sydney's inner-city on January 3. Downing Centre Local Court was told of the plea during a brief mention on Thursday, where Lyttle was supported by family, including his younger brother Patrick, whom he punched in Potts Point in the early hours of January 3. His elder brother was charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm. Lyttle's legal team had tried to negotiate a lesser charge over the attack, with Patrick publicly speaking out in support of his brother and calling for the charges to be dismissed. But prosecutors decided to go ahead with the original charge and that Lyttle agreed to plead guilty. The Irishman could learn his fate as soon as Thursday afternoon when the matter returns to court for a possible sentencing hearing. The hearing is expected to include CCTV footage of the attack and evidence from criminologist John Braithwaite, an expert in 'restorative justice', which covers sentencing options other than imprisonment.

During a brief mention of the matter on Thursday, the prosecutor asked for a further adjournment saying police had served both parties with further material and they needed more time to negotiate. Lyttle's lawyer, Chris Watson, said if talks were successful they expect the matter to remain in the local court jurisdiction and to be dealt with quickly. Outside court Patrick said he had made 'a fantastic recovery'. Mr Lyttle spent nearly a week in an induced coma in January following his brother's alleged attack before making his remarkable recovery at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney's inner suburbs. Patrick's appearance in court today was his first without wearing a beanie. He appeared in fine health as he and his brother arrived wearing matching suits and shoes. The younger Mr Lyttle has previously called on the charges laid against his brother to be dropped.

(CNN)Monty Python in a movie? What a silly idea. But the timing was right for the gang of British comedians (along with their token American, Terry Gilliam), who were looking to hit the big screen after four seasons of "Monty Python's Flying Circus," their groundbreaking British TV series. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which premiered 40 years ago Thursday, was the result. The movie, a spoof of the Arthurian legend, did not start auspiciously. The budget was small -- about $400,000, half of it supplied by rock stars, including Genesis and Pink Floyd. On the first day of filming in Scotland -- the first shot, in fact -- the camera broke. The weather was bad. The hotel was dismal. Python member Graham Chapman was suffering from alcohol withdrawal. It got better. On the day of its first American screening in New York, a thousand people were in line by 8 a.m. Thanks to the popularity of "Python" on American TV, the movie was a box-office hit, making $5 million -- more than 10 times its budget. More importantly, it soon became a comedy classic. The dialogue alone has been widely quoted, with such lines as "It's just a flesh wound" and "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries" referenced on shows such as "The Simpsons," "Game of Thrones" and "The Blacklist." Python member Eric Idle turned the film into the Tony-winning Broadway play "Spamalot." The troupe ended up making three movies -- well, four, if you count "And Now for Something Completely Different," five if you include "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl," five-and-a-half if you allow "The Rutles," six if you ... well, three. We'll say three. Is there a best one? Where should you start? Let's break them down: . From its dramatic opening credits featuring fake-Swedish subtitles to the adventures of Sir Launcelot ("the boldest and most expensive of the knights"), weighted-bird computations and sudden animator heart attacks, "Holy Grail" is probably the loosest and most Python-esque of the Python oeuvre. As a movie with a plot and character and all that movie nonsense, it falls short -- but as a repository for some of Python's best gags, it remains perhaps the best (and certainly most quotable) of the bunch. Besides, it features the word "shrubbery." " 'Grail' is a bit like 'A Hard Day's Night,' " Idle observed in the Pythons' autobiography. "It's got a joie de vivre that's very infectious, it's very hard not to like." Pros: The dialogue. The Black Knight. The Knights Who Say "Ni." Cons: It's sometimes sloppy. And it doesn't really have an ending. Verdict: Better than a cheese shop full of ex-parrots. Probably Python's most consistent movie, "Life of Brian" is the story of a guy born down the road from Jesus who finds himself hailed as a messiah and ends up crucified. It was a satire on organized religion, first-century politics and zealotry -- one of the best bits is the ongoing argument between "the People's Front of Judea" and "the Judean People's Front" -- but try telling that to the protesters. The film was picketed in cities across the United States, deplored by some religious leaders and banned in Ireland and Norway. (Sweden promoted it with the line, "The film so funny that it was banned in Norway.") It did have one huge supporter: ex-Beatle George Harrison, who mortgaged his estate to help fund the movie when a financier pulled out. "He paid for it because he wanted to see it," Idle recalled. "The most anybody's ever paid for a cinema ticket in history." Pros: Graham Chapman's performance as Brian. "What have the Romans ever done for us?" "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." Cons: The adventurous but ultimately pointless animated-alien scene. Michael Palin's lisping Pilate (though, to be fair, it's so childishly broad you can't help but laugh). Verdict: Funnier than the Spanish Inquisition. "Meaning of Life," constructed as a series of sketches, is the most uneven of the three narrative Python films. After the stunning opening sequence, Gilliam's "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" -- about the revenge of some pirate-like accountants -- the film struggles to find its footing. Even the Pythons thought so. "The rhythms weren't right," said Gilliam. "It needed a whole other rewrite," said Idle. Nevertheless, it has its moments: the "Every Sperm Is Sacred" sequence, about religion, sex and contraception; the organ donor who's surprised by a demand for his liver; and -- of course -- the infamous Mr. Creosote, the absurdly fat man who gorges on a monstrous meal at a posh restaurant, regurgitates it at length, and is then encouraged to have a "wafer-thin" after-dinner mint -- with disastrous results. It also has the sweetest of all Python songs: Idle's "The Galaxy Song," which is even more uplifting than "Brian's" "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." Not a bad conclusion, given what happened to Mr. Creosote. Pros: "Permanent Assurance." Mr. Creosote. "The Galaxy Song." Cons: The fish. The schoolmaster's sex lesson. The fish. Verdict: More enjoyable than watching the Upper-Class Twit of the Year competition.

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" celebrates 40 years Thursday . The 1975 film is considered a comedy classic . Troupe made three movies together, not including concert works and compilations .

It may come as a surprise to some - particularly Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola - but Jose Mourinho has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson inspired him to try to be a gracious manager. The Chelsea boss said in a wide-ranging interview with the Telegraph that the legendary Manchester United manager showed him 'two faces' during their first competitive meeting in 2004 - the first one of a steely rival and the second one of a sporting loser. Mourinho had just made his first impression on the Champions League by knocking out United with unfancied Porto. The Portuguese sprinted down the touchline at Old Trafford in an unforgettable celebration of Porto's last-gasp goal that sealed qualification and a seismic shock. Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho formed a firm friendship despite being fierce rivals . Fergie's Manchester United were stunned by Mourinho's Porto in the Champions League in 2004 . Mourinho sprinted down the touchline in celebration at Porto's last-gasp goal that sealed qualification . 'That was when I felt the two faces of such a big man,' said Mourinho. 'The first face was the competitor, the man that tried everything to win. And after that I found the man with principles, with the respect for the opponent, with the fair play – I found these two faces in that period, and that was very important for me. 'In my culture, the Portuguese and the Latin culture, we don’t have that culture of the second face; we are in football to win and when we don’t there is not a second face most of the time. But when we beat United in the Champions League I got that beautiful face of a manager which I try to have myself. I try.' Mourinho has attracted controversy like no other manager in the modern game. His many spats with Wenger have seen him form a bitter rivalry with the Arsenal boss, with Mourinho's accusation in 2005 that the Frenchman is like 'a voyeur' perhaps being the moment their relationship hit an all-time low, from which it has never recovered. Mourinho claims to have learned respect from Ferguson, but he has had many spats with Arsene Wenger . He also had a frosty relationship with Pep Guardiola when the pair were rival managers in Spain . The 52-year-old, who looks set to claim his third Barclays Premier League title with Chelsea this season, also formed a spiteful relationship with Guardiola while the pair duelled for honours in Spain. Arguably Mourinho's lowest moment came in gouging the eye of Guardiola's assistant, Tito Vilanova, in the closing stages of a Spanish Super Cup defeat for Real Madrid against Barcelona. After the match he referred to 'Pito' Vilanova - using the Spanish slang for penis. A less surprising Mourinho revelation is that he has no close friends in English football. 'Some, we like each other and have some communication, but I cannot say so close,' he said.

There won’t be many who can guess which Barclays Premier League player picked up my first 10-out-of-10 performance of the season this weekend. Eden Hazard? Well, he was brilliant but no. Mesut Ozil? Haha, dream on. My favourite player, Michael Carrick? No, not even him. Step forward Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy. I’ve seen him plenty of times this season and he’s always worked extremely hard, never been lower than a 7/10. But he added class and quality to that workrate at West Brom on Saturday and I couldn’t fault him. The perfect 10. Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy celebrates scoring their late winner to keep their survival hopes alive . Vardy was being criticised two years ago at Leicester but now is a pivotal part of their team . Jose Mourinho? Ronald Koeman? Sean Dyche? Not even close... Louis van Gaal should be crowned manager of the year . Manuel Pellegrini is punching above his weight at City... the club MUST think big or forever remain small . Two years ago Vardy was being hammered by Leicester fans who thought he was useless. The criticism was so bad the player started to doubt himself and admits he almost gave up football. Credit to Nigel Pearson and his staff – they supported their striker and pulled him through a tough time. A year later he was in the Premier League and picked up the Players’ Player of the Year award at the club after a prolific season. With the top flight came new signings up front for Leicester. Last summer Leonardo Ulloa arrived, and then in January it was Croatia international Andrej Kramaric, the pair setting the Foxes back £17million, and obviously Vardy has had to fight for his place. He’s playing on the left this season and the goals have dried up – he’s only scored three. But he is in the team on merit. At The Hawthorns on Saturday I witnessed a match-winning performance from the most expensive player ever to come from non-League football. Vardy put in a 10-out-of-10 performance at the weekend as he inspired Leicester to an unlikely victory . Credit must go to Nigel Pearson (bottom left) and his staff who supported Vardy through a tough time . It’s Vardy’s hold-up play that wins the free-kick for the first Leicester goal. His pace and persistence that hounded Joleon Lescott into giving him the ball as he drove Leicester forward and helped win the corner for the second goal. And it was his strength that won the ball off Gareth MacAuley on the halfway line - then you can only admire his storming surge towards goal and the quality finish as he rifles the ball into the back of the net for the winner in injury time, embarrassing Lescott again. When Leicester weren’t in possession Vardy was chasing everything. When they had the ball, his movement was good – he took up a great position when Ulloa missed a sitter just before half-time. When Vardy himself was on the ball, he usually had an impact, in spectacular style at the end. I don’t think he’s the best player in the Premier league, I don’t think he’s good enough for England. And who knows if Leicester can survive this season. But what I saw on Saturday was 10 out of 10 from Jamie Vardy. Good on you lad. Vardy is not world class or England material yet but put in a brilliant performance on Saturday for Leicester .

West Brom 2-3 Leicester City: Jamie Vardy's injury-time winner seals it . Vardy put in a 10-out-of-10 performance at The Hawthorns on Saturday . The Leicester striker is a hard worker and can rarely be faulted .

Ed Miliband's poor leadership has been mocked by a Labour candidate, who said it was like having 'a manager of a football team that you don't rate, but you still support the team'. Paul Gilbert even joked that he hoped his 'off-piste' comment would not 'find it's way back' to the Labour leadership, because he stands little hope of winning in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. He also blasted Labour's 'entirely unsatisfactory' policy on tuition fees and told voters at a university hustings: 'I don't like where we are.' Scroll down for video . Labour candidate Paul Gilbert mocked Ed Miliband and then joked that he hoped his 'off-piste' comment would not 'find it's way back' to the Labour leadership . Mr Miliband has faced repeated criticism and off-the-record briefing about his leadership among Labour ranks, but most have seen the sense of keeping quiet about their misgivings during the election campaign. But Mr Gilbert felt no such reservations as he appeared at a hustings event with four other candidates. The 52-year-old lawyer was asked for his comments on higher eduction funding by a member of the audience at the packed event at the University of Gloucestershire. He said: 'If I can go off-piste a little, as somebody who has a very realistic idea of what the maths will be in this constituency, maybe what I say isn't going to find it's way back to Mr Miliband and his friends.' He added: 'Now one of the things which has brought me to politics at this very late stage you might think is the wish to make a difference. Now I am a Labour man and I will stand by my party, thick and thin. 'It's a bit like having a manager of a football team that you don't rate, but you still support the team, sometimes. 'What we have to do is work out how we can make the difference best, and from my point of view you're better on the inside making a difference than being on the outside grumbling about it.' To laughter from the audience, he was mocked by one of his fellow candidates for his 'glowing endorsement' for Labour's leader. Ed Miliband, pictured giving a speech in Stockton-on-Tees today, has promised to cut tuition fees from up to £9,000 to £6,000 if he is elected on May 7 . Ed Miliband has revealed his childhood dream was to become a London bus conductor. The Labour leader said a fascination with the ticket machines on the old-style vehicles had made him want the job. Mr Miliband made the admission during a visit to Stockton-on-Tees, where he was asked by a young boy in the audience, Nelson Driscoll, what he wanted to be when he was seven years old. He replied: 'I wanted to be a bus conductor. I tell you why, because on the London buses there used to be these things where you used to turn around the ticket machine. I was particularly fascinated by that.' Mr Miliband is not the only party leader to have dreamed of being on the buses. Conservative former prime minister Sir John Major once failed a test to become a bus conductor. The seat of Cheltenham is held by the Lib Dem Martin Horwood, who secured a majority of 4,920 over the Conservatives in 2010. But the constituency is seen as crucial to Tory hopes of winning an overall majority in the Commons. However, five years ago Labour secured just 5 per cent of the vote. Mr Miliband has promised to cut tuition fees from up to £9,000 to £6,000 if he is elected on May 7. Critics have argued the only people to benefit from the reductions will be wealthy graduates, because most people would never pay back the full amount during their working lifetime. But Mr Gilbert appeared to suggest the party should have gone further in reducing the cost of gaining a degree. He said: 'You know that in the Labour manifesto the fees will come down to £6,000 - it still feels entirely unsatisfactory.' He added: 'But it seems to me with two daughters who are 22 and 20, and they have been saddled with debt as the gentleman in the audience mentioned earlier. 'I find it really silly and really ridiculous that we have not worked this one through sufficiently well. 'We have choices. We have choices for all sorts of things, but we choose to spend the money on other things, and I wish we didn't, I wish we really didn't.' He finished his criticism of his party by adding: 'I don't like where we are, I wish it was different, but I hope we can see it differently going forward.'

Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya (CNN)At first glance, Sudan looks like any other northern white rhino: stout and agile, with square lips. He grazes under the hot sun, his massive head lowered to the ground, at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in central Kenya. When he's not wallowing in his enclosure, he waddles around the sprawling savannah, stopping briefly to drink water from a concrete hole. But Sudan is not just any rhino. He's the last known male northern white rhino left in the entire world. For an animal on the verge of extinction, the fate of the subspecies rests on his ability to conceive with the two female northern white rhinos at the conservancy. Sudan's female companions, Fatu and Najin, live at the conservancy, where experts are scrambling to ensure the subspecies does not go extinct. The animals are under 24-hour protection by armed guards. Rhinos are targeted by poachers, fueled by the belief in Asia that their horns cure various ailments. Experts say the rhino horn is becoming more lucrative than drugs. In addition to round-the-clock security, the conservancy has put radio transmitters on the animals and dispatches incognito rangers into neighboring communities to gather intelligence on poaching. The conservancy is also raising funds to help equip and train rangers who guard the rhinos. At 42, Sudan is elderly in rhino years. Fatu, 15, is a spring chicken, while Najin is 25. Though the three northern white rhinos are physiologically healthy, age might be a factor, says George Paul, the deputy veterinarian at the conservancy. "Sudan is currently old and may not be able to naturally mount and mate with a female," he says. In addition, he has a low sperm count, which complicates natural and scientific efforts, experts say. Najin could conceive, but her hind legs are so weak, she may be unable to support a mounted male. "There has been recorded mating between different pairs over the last few years, but not conceptions," Paul says. "Based on a recent health examination conducted, both animals have a regular estrus cycle, but no conception has been recorded." And if one is not recorded soon, the beloved animal will go extinct. Rhinos on a plane: Life-saving mission across borders . In a race against time, international experts are resorting to science to try to sustain the subspecies. The northern white rhino cannot mate with a black rhino, but there is a chance it could mate with a southern white rhino, Paul says. While southern white rhinos are not endangered -- Ol Pejeta has 19 -- they are a different subspecies from the northern white rhino genetically. Though the offspring would not be 100% northern white rhino, it would be better than nothing, experts say. A committee at the conservancy is also looking at various alternative reproduction techniques, including in vitro fertilization. "In other countries, success has been achieved with embryo transfer in a different rhino species, thus that, as a technique, can be presupposed to be the most promising," Paul says. "However, consultations are ongoing amongst different reproductive technique experts on the way forward." Bringing rhinos back to Uganda, one calf at a time . The need to preserve the northern white rhino is dire. "Realistically, we are looking at these animals dying in the next decade or so. But hopefully, using artificial methods of reproduction, we might be able to bring them back in the future," Paul says. "This might mean that it will happen when the current animals are already deceased, but it could happen." The conservancy acquired the northern white rhinos -- two males and two females -- in 2009 from a zoo in the Czech Republic. Suni, the other male northern white rhino at the conservancy, died last year. In another incident, another male, Angalifu, died at the San Diego Zoo last year, bringing the subspecies closer to extinction. There are no known northern white rhinos left in the wild. A total of five remain in captivity worldwide: three in Kenya, and one each at zoos in San Diego and the Czech Republic. But Sudan, a male, is in a company of one. 11 wildlife experiences that could vanish in your lifetime .

Sudan is one of a handful of northern white rhinos left worldwide . As the only male, the fate of the subspecies rests on his ability to conceive with two females at a conservancy . Experts are trying various ways, including in vitro fertilization .

(CNN)They may not be "Star Trek"-type extraterrestrials, but we may be close to finding evidence of alien life, a NASA scientist says. "I think we're going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we're going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years," NASA chief scientist Ellen Stofan said Tuesday during a panel discussion on water in the universe. "We know where to look. We know how to look," she said. "In most cases, we have the technology, and we're on a path to implementing it. And so I think we're definitely on the road." NASA released a graphic noting that scientists have found evidence or indications of water on a number of celestial bodies, including the dwarf planet Ceres and Jupiter's moon Europa. The Hubble Space Telescope has been key to the discoveries, NASA said in a news release. "Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently provided powerful evidence that (Jupiter's moon) Ganymede has a saltwater, sub-surface ocean, likely sandwiched between two layers of ice," the agency noted. There are some caveats involved, of course. NASA isn't talking about intelligent alien civilizations from the Alpha Quadrant; it's referring to microorganisms. "We are not talking about little green men," Stofan said at the panel. "We are talking about little microbes." Still, former astronaut John Grunsfeld said it's an exciting time -- and he thinks it's just a matter of time before we find life outside our solar system as well. "I think we're one generation away in our solar system, whether it's on an icy moon or on Mars, and one generation on a planet around a nearby star," he said. And, he added, who knows what that life will look like? "Once we get out beyond Mars, the likelihood that it's similar to Earth because we share that material gets very, very low," he said. "And I think that's where it starts getting exceptionally exciting."

NASA chief scientist Ellen Stofan believes we're close to finding alien life . Indications within a decade; definitive evidence within "20 to 30 years," she said . Finding water on other celestial bodies is key to determination .

It's a brave politician indeed who is willing to expose their own battle with their squeezed middle for the cameras. As the election gets underway the gloves have come off between the main parties, and for three frontbenchers the tops have come off as well. Tory health minister Dan Poulter, Lib Dem minister Tom Brake and Labour frontbencher Gavin Shuker imposed strict cuts on their calories and put themselves at the mercy of a personal trainer for Men's Health magazine. Scroll down for video . Health minister Dan Poulter saw his weight fell from 105kg to 102.5kg, losing two inches off his 35in waist. His body fat fell from 24 per cent to 18 per cent . Cooped up in the Department of Health, he admitted it is difficult to practice what he preaches on keeping healthy . Skipping breakfast, grabbing lunch on the go and late nights in Parliament's bars and restaurants can take its toll on MPs when they arrive in Westminster. After five years of the coalition government, the three MPs agreed to take part in the feature for the Men's Health magazine, which is better known for its front covers of rippling muscles and toned six packs. Each was given strict orders to eat more healthily, do more exercise and take better care of their bodies. There was the inevitable unflattering 'before' photo shoot, followed by a full-length portrait to show off their new physique. Mr Poulter, a GP first elected in 2010, could be expected to already know what it takes to stay healthy. But cooped up in the Department of Health, he admitted it is difficult to practice what he preaches. 'I have an erratic diary, working 15-hour days, so it does require real dedication to get gym sessions in', he said. His personal trainer Stephen White put him on a regime of fat-burning intervals and muscle-building resistance training. He said: 'Dan really struggled at first because of his back – we focused on loosening and developing it to pull his shoulders back and correct his terrible posture.' In the end Mr Poulter's weight fell from 105kg to 102.5kg, losing two inches off his 35in waist. His body fat fell from 24 per cent to 18 per cent, and he boasted of feeling 'fitter, stronger, more awake and motivated in my work'. Lib Dem deputy Commons leader Tom Brake was told to build his upper-body strength and after six weeks of training could swim the 750m of the sprint distance triathlon without reverting to breast stroke . As deputy leader of the Commons, Mr Brake's job involved a lot of sitting on the green leather benches listening to debates. The Lib Dem MP and keen marathon runner could have been forgiven for thinking he was fit. But after casting an eye over his 'before' physique, personal trainer Daniel Marshall declared: 'Tom neglected every muscle from the waist up.' The 52-year-old was told to build his upper-body strength and after six weeks of training could swim the 750m of the sprint distance triathlon without reverting to breast stroke. He lost only a kilo of his 83.5kg starting weight, but his chest size grew from 38in to 48 in, while he lost an inch from his waist. Mr Brake said: 'I used to think going to the gym was a waste of time, and that you were much better off going for a run. Not anymore.' Labour MP Gavin Shuker embarked on an intense weight loss regime, forced to shun carbs and alcohol when being wined and dined in Westminster . Labour MP Gavin Shuker was elected as MP for Luton South in 2010, after incumbent Margaret Moran was forced out over her expenses. A shadow International Development minister, he says that he succumbed to the 'parliamentary stone' - the extra 14 pounds new MPs put on in their first year after arriving in Westminster. In fact he went even further, and put on three stone within 12 months. Men's Health rather unkindly remarked: 'The fact that the shadow minister hadn’t done any exercise since his school days compounded the problem – the only internationally perceptible development being around his waistline. 'The only internationally perceptible development being around his waistline.' He embarked on an intense weight loss regime, forced to shun carbs and alcohol when being wined and dined in Westminster. 'I’m sure at one point an MP’s life was all big boozy lunches and champagne dinner receptions,' he said. 'The reality now is that if you eat lunch at all, it’ll be out of a box at your desk, like most people.' Surprisingly, he was told to eat more, not less, but make it healthy. The 33-year-old had got into the habit of not eating during the day and gorging at night. For the first time in decades he started eating porridge for breakfast. In the end he managed to lose more than 10kg, taking him down to 85kg. His waist slimmed down from 44in to 37in, while his biceps expanded from 32cm to 35cm. The magazine suggested the spectacle of three MPs naked from the waist up could inspire its readers to get fit themselves. It said: 'If they can juggle work and fitness, you sure as hell can too. It may not be easy, but then in this age of austerity, the biggest cuts never are.'

Tory Dan Poulter, Lib Dem Tom Brake and Labour's Gavin Shuker get fit . Three agreed to put themselves at the mercy of a personal trainer . Strict diet and exercise regime saw them shed pounds and gain strength . Full interview appears in the May 2015 issue of Men’s Health, on sale Thursday 2 April. Also available as a digital edition.

(CNN)An Arizona police chief on Wednesday supported an officer's decision to drive his car into an armed suspect, saying that although the move could have killed the suspect, deadly force was justified. Video of the incident, recorded February 19 by the dashboard cameras of two Marana police cars, shows one of the cars running into a suspect with who had a rifle in the city about a half hour from Tucson. The suspect, 36-year-old Mario Valencia, survived and was hospitalized before being criminally charged. Marana police Chief Terry Rozema was asked Wednesday on CNN's "New Day" whether police were fortunate that Valencia didn't die. "That very well may be ... that it's luck that he is still alive. The fact of the matter remains, though, deadly force was authorized," Rozema said. "So if he ends up dying in that situation, (then) he ends up dying, and that's unfortunate, (but) that's not the desire of everybody," the chief added. The footage has stirred debate about what type of force police should have used. In one of the dashcam videos, an officer who was tailing a walking Valencia at slow speed reports over the radio that the suspect has fired one round in the air with a rifle he is accused of stealing that morning from a Walmart. Another patrol car zooms past, runs into the man from behind, then hits a short cinder block wall next to a driveway. Video from Officer Michael Rapiejko's camera shows Rapiejko's vehicle running into Valencia, with the windshield smashing as the car hits the wall. Police in Marana justified Rapiejko's actions. "We don't know that if (Rapiejko) lets him go for another 10 seconds, (Valencia) doesn't take somebody out in the parking lot," Rozema said. "And then we're answering some completely different questions: 'Why didn't you act sooner? ... This guy had a gun ... Why didn't you stop this guy before he shot my wife, before he shot my husband, before he shot my child?' " The video has stirred debate about what type of force police should have used to detain the man. Valencia's attorney, Michelle Cohen-Metzger, told CNN on Tuesday that "it is miraculous that my client isn't dead." "Everything in the video seems to point towards an obvious excessive use of force, Cohen-Metzger said. Tucson Police Sgt. Pete Dugan told CNN that Valencia was involved in several incidents there the day he was struck. At 6:45 a.m. on February 19, Valencia allegedly robbed a 7-Eleven in Tucson with a metal object in his hand. Authorities said he was dressed only in his underwear. He was charged with theft. A little more than an hour later, police said, Valencia set a fire at a church for which he was charged with arson of an occupied structure. Just after that he entered a home and stole a car, police said. Authorities said he drove to a Walmart in Marana, where he allegedly stole a .30-30 rifle and ammunition. He fled the store with Walmart employees in pursuit. Police encountered him in a business park walking down the road. An officer told him several times to drop the rifle, Lt. Tim Brunenkant with Marana police said in an email containing a timeline of events. Valencia, police said, walked away from the officer, turned a corner and stopped. Valencia pointed the rifle at the officer then walked away again toward a Coca-Cola bottling plant and another business. "As Mario Valencia briskly walked towards Sargent Controls (local manufacturer), Officer Michael Rapiejko uses his marked police car to stop the dangerous situation Mario Valencia created," Brunenkant wrote. Brunenkant also said by phone that before Rapiejko's encounter with Valencia, the suspect had pointed the rifle at his head multiple times and threatened suicide before fleeing. Rozema said that Valencia's firing of the weapon, his refusal to obey the first officer's commands to drop the gun and the pointing of the gun at the officer were key. "And so you have another officer who sees and seizes an opportunity to end the threat and put an end to the situation," the chief said. Cohen-Metzger criticized the fact that Rapiejko hit Valencia from behind. "My client's back was turned and the officer drove right into him," she said. "It isn't that dissimilar to a police officer shooting a fleeing suspect in the back." CNN affiliate KOLD reported Valencia was in serious condition when he was taken to the hospital and was released into police custody two days later. Valencia faces 15 charges, including three counts of aggravated assault, three counts of armed robbery and possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited possessor. Cohen-Metzger said he had a prior record. His next court appearance is May 18. He is in the Pima County Jail. Authorities said no charges have been brought against the officer. CNN's Tony Marco contributed to this report.

Jockey Andrea Atzeni has an early chance to promote the Classic claims of a contender owned by his new Qatar Racing bosses when he partners Terror in Wednesday’s Landwades Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket. The 1,000 Guineas hope, trained by David Simcock, is one of six out of the nine entries to hold an engagement in the Guineas. Terror finished fourth place in the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes over six furlongs at the Rowley Mile last September prior to her landing a Listed event there five weeks later. Jockey Andrea Atzeni will ride Terror in Wednesday’s Landwades Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket . Simcock said: ‘Terror has had a trouble-free preparation and done well physically over the winter, her recent work has been solid. She is not a bad filly – she would have to be good to finish fourth in the Cheveley Park on only her second start – and she has done nothing wrong. ‘Although she is quite clean-winded it is difficult to know where you stand fitness-wise until you get her into a race scenario. Trainer Richard Hannon is represented by Osaila and Marsh Hawk in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket . ‘She might prefer a bit of dig in the ground but she has already proved that she handles fast ground, and I don’t think that this step up to seven furlongs will be a problem for her.’ Other Nell Gwyn entries include two fillies from the Richard Hannon – Osaila, winner of the Group Three Princess Margaret Stakes winner, and Marsh Hawk, who has not run since finishing fourth in the Group One Dubai Fillies’ Mile in October. John Gosden’s Faydhan is the key horse entered in Wednesday’s Free Handicap. John Gosden is represented by Faydhan in Wednesday's Free Handicap at Newmarket . The colt has not run since making a winning debut at Haydock in July is second favourite for the 2,000 Guineas on May 2. Meanwhile, Frankie Dettori, who rides Osaila in the Nell Gwyn, has been unveiled as Newmarket’s ambassador for 2015. He said: ‘I love Newmarket Racecourses. The town is my home and I have wonderful memories of many victories, not least my five winners in the QIPCO 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas.’ Frankie Dettori, who will ride Osaila,  has been unveiled as Newmarket’s ambassador for 2015 .

(CNN)Sometimes the best ideas come from the bathroom. But Gaioz Nigalidze's ideas from the loo were a little too good. The Georgian chess grandmaster has been banned from the Dubai Open Chess Tournament after officials discovered he was darting to the toilet to consult his smartphone, which was logged onto a chess analysis app, the Dubai Chess and Culture Club said. Nigalidze's opponent, Tigran Petrosian of Armenia, grew suspicious when Nigalidze kept bolting to the restroom. "The Armenian noticed the Georgian was oddly frequenting the toilet after each move during a crucial part of the game," the Dubai Chess and Culture Club said. When officials first checked Nigalidze, they didn't find any device on him, the club said. But after looking into the bathroom stall he visited, they found the smartphone hidden in toilet paper. At first, Nigalidze claimed the smartphone wasn't his, the Dubai chess organization said. But the phone was logged on to a social media network under his account. "They also found his game being analyzed in one of the chess applications," the chess club said. The infraction has been reported to the International Chess Federation. The Dubai tournament's chief arbiter, Mahdi Abdul Rahim, said players found guilty of cheating will be suspended for three years from all sanctioned tournaments and up to 15 years for a repeated offense, the chess and culture club said. But this wouldn't be an isolated case of cheating in high-stakes chess matches. In 2008, an Iranian player was banned from the Dubai Open after getting help from someone who was watching the game's live broadcast and was sending suggestions via text messages, the Dubai chess club said. Nigalidze's resume includes victories in the 2013 and 2014 Georgian Chess Championships. It's not clear how many times he went to the bathroom during those matches.

Mark Hughes thinks Tom Jones is stopping Stoke City from qualifying for Europe. But on the green, green grass of home, his side were the ones denting hopes of facing the Continent’s elite teams with this 2-1 victory over Ronald Koeman’s Southampton. The Stoke manager believes Jones’s hit Delilah, belted out regularly by the Britannia Stadium hordes, is causing his side to be marked down in UEFA’s Fair Play League because of its violent theme and thus affecting their chances of qualifying for the Europa League.

However, after Morgan Schneiderlin prodded Southampton into a deserved lead, a second-half turnaround with goals from Mame Diouf and Charlie Adam damaged the visitors hopes of finishing in the top four — and had the Stoke fans belting out their favourite 60s hit. Hughes said: ‘We are not going to get too many Fair Play points today. ‘The key was that we got three Premier League points, though.’ The result had Koeman acknowledging that the Saints’ unlikely march to the top four was over. ‘Sometimes I have to answer questions about Champions League football,’ he said. ‘I don’t like that because the distance to fourth place is five points and now maybe it is eight. We are fighting for a Europa League place — that’s our Champions League.

French international Morgan Schneiderlin gives Ronald Koeman's Champions League chasing Southampton the lead at the Britannia Stadium . Hughes is entitled to be happy, with his side in ninth spot with five matches to play. Survival in the Premier League, always the priority in these parts, was secured as early as March, leaving the manager, with the ink drying on a four-year contract, to set new targets. He wants Stoke to better last year’s points tally of 50 and secure consecutive top-half finishes in the top flight for the first time in 40 years, and this result leaves such feats on the cards. Victory was unlikely in a one-sided first half. Southampton, who had wasted chances, eventually took one when Jose Fonte rose at the near post to divert Steven Davis’s corner goalwards but was denied by a goal-hanging Schneiderlin, who got the final touch before it crossed the line. Graziano Pelle should have doubled the lead when played in by a lively Sadio Mane but Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic saved well to leave Koeman ruing his side’s profligacy. ‘I think we played very well in the first 45 minutes and were by far better team,’ he said. ‘Maybe we could have been more clinical in the box but in general we played well today, we played at least at our level and it’s important to keep that for rest of the season.’ For all Southampton’s dominance Stoke should have been level when Geoff Cameron flicked on a Marko Arnautovic free-kick only for an unmarked Steven Nzonzi to inexplicably miss from no more than two yards out. Jose Fonte celebrates with team-mate Schneiderlin as Southampton grabbed the lead against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium . Schneiderlin celebrates the first goal with his team-mates during the Barclays Premier League match between Stoke City and Southampton . They did go level following the arrival of Adam from the bench, albeit in exceptionally fortunate circumstances. When Nzonzi mis-hit a cross into the sky there were groans. When it landed on the bar and Diouf slammed home the rebound they turned into disbelieving cheers. The first Delilah of the day duly followed, with Adam urged to shoot wherever he picked up the ball. With six minutes remaining he did just that, lashing home following a goalmouth scramble to bring that song out again. ‘I think he played the initial ball into the box, followed his ball in and thankfully it has dropped to him,’ said an admiring Hughes. ‘It’s great technique. He knows exactly what he is doing. He has hit it into the ground and that has made it even harder for the keeper to save it.’ Adam’s fellow substitute Peter Crouch could have piled on the agony for Koeman after being teed up by Jonathan Walters but scuffed his shot wide from six yards. More misery for the Saints arrived in injury time when Toby Alderweireld went down clutching a shoulder and was carried off on a stretcher, although he is expected to be fit for the remainder of the run-in. Regardless, Koeman was certainly laughing no more. Southampton striker Graziano Pelle had his chances but he failed to take them as Southampton lost to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium .

Drilling threes on the buzzer is all good as far as Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James is concerned - the buzzing of drills at the dentist is a whole other story. The 11-time All Star brushed off rough treatment from the Chicago Bulls as his Cavs won on Sunday by saying it's the sort of thing NBA stars should expect come this stage of the season. 'It's April,' James shrugged. But the self-titled King James' talk wasn't so tough as he paid a second visit to the dentist's chair in a fortnight, as shared with his 9.3 million followers on Instagram. 'Back at the dentist and I'm hearing a bunch of drilling going on behind me from my docs so I had to sit up like, "What the heck is going on back there." Hahaha but seriously what's up. #DentistNightMares,' he wrote in his latest chronicle from the dentist's chair.

James came crashing back to earth in the room filled with drills and sharp implements on Monday though after his on-fire Cavs accounted for the Bulls with some impressive shooting from outside at key moments proving the difference. On Sunday night LeBron's rival Joakim Noah was less than hospitable with a heavy foul or two. But the 30-year-old was more bothered by the man in the white coat and his assistant.

'So is this why folks say they hate Monday's!!???' he wrote at the time.

Kim Richards is speaking out for the first time since her shocking arrest last week following a drunken altercation at The Beverly Hills Hotel. The former child star turned Real Housewife discusses her demons in an emotional interview with Dr. Phil set to air April 28, her first for a national audience since the arrest. Among the topics the 50-year-old is slated to discuss is her longtime struggle with alcoholism. About her April 16 arrest, Richards reveals, 'I was angry and frightened and I was scared. I knew what I had done. The whole night is my fault. None of this would have happened if I didn’t drink.' Richards - who has been to rehab three times - was charged with with public intoxication, trespassing, resisting arrest and battery on a police officer and arrested at the Beverly Hills Hotel last week. Sat with Dr. Phil: Kim Richards is speaking out for the first time since her shocking arrest last week following a drunken altercation at The Beverly Hills Hotel . Contradicting reports: Some sources involved in production of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills say that Kim Richard's protestations that she was sober last season were laughable - while others say she was doing better than ever . Currently, Kim is scheduled to appear at the Los Angeles Superior Court on May 10 following her April 16 incident at the Polo Lounge where she 'caused a disturbance at the hotel restaurant and was taken into custody at the Beverly Hills Police Department.' According to the Richards family friend, Kim's drunk actions were brought on after watching the three-part reunion for the seventh season, which left her 'distraught' and 'very embarrassed.' But that wasn't the only cause. Kim's ex-husband Monty Brinson - who is battling Stage IV cancer - continues to lean on her for support, which fans were able to watch on the recent RHOBH season. 'A big part of all of this is that she is just stressed out,' the pal explained. 'She is under a lot of pressure, especially because of Monty. While Kim Richards staunchly defended herself during the last season of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills - maintaining that she no longer struggles with substance abuse - reports from the cast and crew tell a different story. Several sources involved in production told TMZ that Kim's recent protestations that she was sober were laughable. And while veteran cast members Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and Yolanda Foster learned to look the other way to avoid drama, Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson were the ones to confront the star. Insiders say that the 50-year-old would never drink where people could see her, sometimes drinking in the bathroom and emerging drunk. However, other sources from the show say that Kim was doing a better job than ever of keeping her addiction under control. Interestingly, Brandi Glanville - who was one of Kim's closest friends during season five - sided with both camps, depending on who you talked to. They knew better: Veteran cast members such as Kim's sister Kyle, Yolanda Foster and Lisa Vanderpump all chose to look away during the last season to avoid confrontation . Speaking out: Eileen Davidson (third left) and Lisa Rinna (second from right) were the two who chose to confront Kim about her issues during season five . One crew member revealed that Kim's sobriety was called into question several months ago after the incident where the mother-of-four's dog bit her sister Kyle's daughter Alexia. When a dog trainer was sent to her house to assess the situation Kim was reportedly such a mess he had to help put her to bed. Kim was arrested on Thursday morning after a drunken altercation at The Beverly Hills Hotel where she had to be dragged out of a bathroom after refusing to leave the premises. She was taken to jail and cited with trespass, battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and drunk in public. Meanwhile, it has been reported that the former child star may be booted off the Bravo show as producers feel she has become a liability due to her issues with substance abuse. Playing both sides: Insiders say that Brandi Glanville (centre) - who was one of Kim's closest plas during the last season - sides with both camps . Confirmed: Details of Kim's arrest were revealed in a statement from the Beverly Hills police department . Since she first appeared on the hit reality show in 2010, her sobriety has been her major storyline, with her recent relapse as the driving force between Kim and Kyle's distant relationship. TMZ alleges that Bravo are concerned that due to the nature of the show, they could be held accountable if something was to happen to Kim. There have been no permanent decisions made however, according to the gossip site. The next season of RHOBH has a few months before production picks up again so the final decision has yet to be concrete. Distressed: The mother-of-four reportedly started drinking after watching all three RHOBH reunion shows on Wednesday night .

There is an insufficient supply of whooping cough vaccine in Australia, according to Queensland Health. However, medical professionals insist the resource shortage will not affect the immunisation programs for babies, children and pregnant women. It comes less than a month after the death of 32-day-old Riley who died after contracting whooping cough. His parents Catherine and Greg are now leading a campaign, urging adults to vaccinate themselves and their children to prevent more infant deaths from the terrible disease. The adult whooping cough vaccine will not be available in Australia until July, according to ABC News. However, although whooping cough is less severe in adults, infected adults do pose a serious risk for infants and children who are not vaccinated. Scroll down for video . Riley Hughes died at just 32 days old after suffering complications arising from whooping cough . Two days before Riley died his mother posted a photo of him wrapped in a blanket in hospital . 'Heartbreaking to watch 4 week old Riley struggle,' Catherine Hughes wrote as she urged people to get themselves immunised . Riley's father Greg also posted a touching tribute on Facebook to his 'darling little angel Riley' 'The one product that is in short supply is not part of the formal national immunisation program, but is a booster dose that's used generally by GPs for adults,' Queensland Health senior medical officer Dr Alun Richards told ABC News. 'We have sufficient stocks to vaccinate children as part of the school-based vaccination program.' On March 15, two days before baby Riley died, his mother Catherine posted a devastating photo of her son wrapped up in a blanket in his hospital bed urging people to get themselves and their children immunised against whooping cough. 'If you haven't been immunised against whooping cough (pertussis) please consider getting it done. 'Heartbreaking to watch 4 week old Riley struggle with it at (Perth's Princess Margaret Hospital). Please keep him in your thoughts!,' she wrote. 'If you're anti-immunisation/anti-logic/anti-duty of care to your society as a whole, then feel free to take a look at this picture of my son in hospital right now at 4 weeks old with whooping cough - and then come and tell me how you think immunisation is a bad thing,' Riley's father Greg added. Dr Richards could not confirm why the shortage has taken place but told ABC that it is not abnormal. His mother Catherine Hughes posted a brave tribute to her baby boy and thanked Perth's Princess Margaret Hospital for doing 'everything they could to save his little life' 'I don't know whether it's because of increased demand in the world or if it's another issue, but there are vaccination shortages from time to time,' he said. 'There are other preparations on the market [and] they're not all in short supply.' For people opting to be vaccinated against whooping cough, they may be deferred by their GP until more supplies are available. 'These people can return when supplies are again available,' Dr Jeannette Young told ABC News. Infectious Diseases Expert at ANU Medical School Canberra, Sanjaya Senanayake, told Daily Mail Australia: 'From my point of view immunisation is wonderful particularly for whooping cough.' He explained infants are 'at a high risk of dying if they get infected' and that the death rate from whooping cough in infants under 6 months of age is about 1 per cent. 'It's important to listen to the experts,' Mr Senanayake said. 'Whooping cough is lethal in babies and in adults people can be absent from work for the persistent cough, it's a nasty infection.' Whooping cough (also known as 'pertussis') is a highly contagious bacterial infection of the lungs and airways. The government health website says the disease is 'highly infectious and most serious in babies under the age of 12 months'. Babies are at greatest risk of infection until they can have at least two doses of the vaccine (minimum 4 months old) as the mother's antibodies do not provide reliable protection. It's very rare for children who have been immunised against whooping cough to get the disease – and if they do, it's usually not as serious. Symptoms . The condition usually begins with a persistent dry and irritating cough that progresses to intense bouts of coughing. These are followed by a distinctive 'whooping' noise, which is how the condition gets its name. The early symptoms of whooping cough are often similar to those of a common cold and may include: . These early symptoms of whooping cough can last for one to two weeks, before becoming more severe. The second stage of whooping cough is often called the paroxysmal stage and is characterised by intense bouts of coughing. Each bout of coughing usually lasts between one and two minutes. Infants younger than six months may not make the 'whoop' sound after coughing, but they may start gagging or gasping, and may temporarily stop breathing. Information supplied by HealthDirect.gov.au . In 2013, the Department of Health report said that despite a long-standing immunisation program, 'pertussis remains highly prevalent in Australia and the least well controlled of all vaccine-preventable diseases'. 'Epidemics occur every 3 to 4 years. In unvaccinated populations, these outbreaks can be very large. In vaccinated populations, outbreaks are smaller, with greatly reduced mortality and morbidity, and may continue to occur every 3 to 4 years or be more widely spaced,' the report said. The devastated parents have set up a Facebook page that already has over 25,000 likes .

At the front was the Audi TT, which had been hit hard enough that it bounced a metre and a half away from the bus behind, which had a smashed windscreen. 'Then in between that and another bus was a Mercedes. I stayed around for two hours and the scene was still being cleared up. The bus at the front could be driven away but tow trucks were needed for the other one and the Mercedes.

Britain will still be running a budget deficit at the end of the decade despite plans to return the country to the black, the International Monetary Fund warned last night. The global watchdog said the state will continue to spend more on public services and other areas such as welfare and overseas aid than it raises in tax throughout the next parliament. The projection underlines just how hard it will be for the next government to eliminate the country’s annual deficit, which hit a record £153billion under Labour in 2009-10 and now stands at £90billion. The International Monetary Fund (managing director, Christine Lagarde, pictured) warned Britain will still be running a budget deficit at the end of the decade, despite plans to return the country to the black . The Conservatives have pledged to return Britain to the black in 2018-19 with a surplus of £5.2billion – the first since 2001. David Cameron and George Osborne then plan to run a surplus of £7billion in 2019-20. But the IMF predicted that there will still be a deficit of £7billion that year – even after a decade of austerity. The warning, in the Fund’s Fiscal Monitor report into government finances around the world, will alarm the Tories in particular as they attempt to persuade voters that only they can balance the books. But it also raises the prospect of even higher borrowing under a Labour government. The report warned that ‘uncertainties pertaining to the May elections’ mean spending may not be cut as fast as planned. The Conservatives have pledged to return Britain to the black in 2018-19 with a surplus of £5.2billion – the first since 2001 . Ed Miliband is already planning a slower pace of deficit reduction than the Tories with experts warning he could be borrowing around £30billion a year by the end of the decade. But that figure is likely to be even higher if the IMF is proved right and tax receipts do not live up to current expectations. Vitor Gaspar, director of fiscal affairs at the IMF, said it was crucial for all countries to get their public finances under control. He said governments ‘should build buffers in good times’ – echoing Mr Osborne’s pledge to ‘fix the roof while the sun is shining’. Speaking at the launch of the Fiscal Monitor in Washington, Mr Gaspar said: ‘Countries that fail to build buffers in good times often find themselves without fiscal space to manage a crisis and that is very costly.’ The bleak projections for the UK public finances come despite the IMF hailing ‘solid’ economic growth in the UK. It is now expecting growth of 2.7 per cent this year and 2.3 per cent next year – making Britain the second fastest growing economy in Group of Seven industrialised nations behind the United States.

Projection underlines next government's task to eliminate annual deficit . It hit a record £153billion under Labour in 2009/10 and is now £90billion . Tories pledged to return UK to black in 2018/19 with surplus of £5.2billion . But global watchdog predicts there will still be deficit of £7billion that year .

Although Klopp is contracted to Dortmund until 2018, he is seeking a new challenge following a difficult season in which the club have struggled for form. Sitting in 10th position, Dortmund find themselves 37 points behind rivals and league leaders Bayern Munich. But even this is an improvement on a catastrophic first half of the season in which they won just four league games before the winter break and sat bottom for three weeks.

Bill and Hillary Clinton spent $104,000 in taxpayer money on hotel rooms for Secret Service agents when they vacationed in the Dominican Republic over the New Year's holiday. A Dominican news report says the power couple spent part of their trip staying with sugar barons Alfy and Pepe Fanjul at Casa de Campo, a private Dominican resort they own. The news outlet Listin Diario reported on January 2 that Fanjul and the Clintons discussed Hillary's presidential ambitions during the visit. Casa de Campo, a luxurious retreat for the world's super wealthy elites, is also at the center of criminal allegations now dogging a Democratic U.S. senator. LAP OF LUXURY: The Casa de Campo resort services the upper crust of America's '1 per cent' super-rich, and both Sen. Bob Menendez and Bill and Hillary Clinton have holidayed there . SAME OLD BILL: This Instagram pic, deleted from a user's account on Thursday, shows former President Clinton cavorting among yougn socialites at Casa de Campo . INDICTED: NEw Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez (left) and his wealthy donor Dr. Salomon Melgen (right) are both accused of multiple federal crimes including bribery and honest services fraud . Federal prosecutors charged New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez with corruption on Wednesday in a 14-count indictment. He is accused of accepting money and trips from wealthy donor Dr Salomon Melgen in exchange for the influence of his office. Melgen flew Menendez and his guests on a private jet to stay at his Casa de Campo villa multiple times, free of charge, prosecutors say. The doctor is also now under federal indictment, accused of bribing Menendez with gifts and approximately $700,000 in political contributions. In exchange, the government says, Menendez helped Melgen's three girlfriends get travel visas to enter the U.S., interceded with Medicare authorities when he was accused of billing fraud, and helped lay the groundwork for a Melgen-controlled company to win a lucrative port security contract in the Dominican Republic. PRIVATE VILLAS: Melgen owns a house at Casa de Campo where he entertained Menendez on several occasions at his own expense . SUGAR BARONS: Pepe Fanjul (left) and Alfy Fanjul (right) own a congromerate that includes Domino Sugar and Florida Crystals, and they also own Casa de Campo. The brothers entertained the Clintons there in early January . Melgen's 70-year-old former secretary told The Miami Herald in 2013 that Melgen had also hosted Bill Clinton at his resort home in the past. And Melgen has contributed $8,600 to Hillary Clinton's campaigns for the U.S. Senate and the White House, according to public records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. The Weekly Standard reported on Thursday that the Clintons spent the first part of their Dominican holiday three months ago at Punta Cana, a different resort area. They 'chose to spend their end-of-year vacation in the Dominican Republic's tourist hub Punta Cana,' according to Listin Diario, but on January 2 'shifted to the tourist center Casa de Campo' where they stayed with the Fanjuls. A federal government spending report describes $104,093 in payments for Secret Service lodging, but doesn't specify whether it covered rooms in one or two resort areas. FACING THE MUSIC: Dr. Melgen was in Newark, New Jersey on Thursday to face a judge for his criminal arraignment in the Senator Bob Menendez corruption case . ONE-PERCENTERS: Melgen and Fanjul have houses like this one at Casa de Campo; Bill Clinton has stayed with both of them . Bill and Hillary Clinton were photographed at both resorts. The former president attended 'private dinners with friends at their Casa de Campo villas' and played golf, according to Casa de Campo Living. Alfy Fanjul also played a small part in the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal that dogged Clinton's 1990s presidency and resulted in his impeachment. Lewinsky told Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr that on Presidents' Day in 1996, as Clinton was trying to break off their covert romance, Fanjul called the Oval Office. Confirmation of that phone call in White House records was one important detail that lent credibility to Lewinsky's claims that she had engaged in a series of intimate moments in the White House with the leader of the free world. WELCOME TO THE D.R.: Hillary and Bill Clinton stayed in the eastern Domonican Republic resort town of Punta Cana before shifting the vacation to Casa de Campo days later . FORE! The former president was photographed playing golf both at Punta Cana (shown) and at Casa de Campo . Security at Casa de Campo keeps out the general public. The only way onto the property for non-residents is to have a reservation at the hotel or at a home on the property. Casa de Campo itself is in La Romana province, on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. The Fanjuls own the sprawling 11-square-mile resort, along with the airport that services it. It's a luxury golf and sporting resort, according to the Menendez indictment, with a marina, three golf courses, three polo fields, equestrian facilities, a 245-acre shooting facility, spa, beaches and a hotel where rooms typically cost about $500 a night.

Clintons' New Year's vacation included stay at Casa de Campo, where Sen. Bob Menendez spent time with Salomon Melgen, the wealthy donor at the center of his criminal charges . Bill Clinton's previous visits to Casa de Campo included at least one trip where he stayed with Melgen, according to the doctor's former secretary . Power couple stayed there with Alfy Fanjul, a billionaire sugar baron who owns the resort and played a small part in the Monica Lewinsky scandal . Dominican newspaper reported that they discussed Hillary's presidential ambitions . Melgen has contributed $8,600 to Hillary Clinton's senate and presidential campaigns .

A motorist known as Mr X who spent five years trying to dodge a £60 speeding fine has been jailed for perjury and perverting the course of justice. The driver, who is named Ashley X after changing his surname by deed poll, was caught on camera driving his Honda sports car at 67mph on a 50mph section of the M11 in Essex in 2009. Instead of coughing up a fixed penalty fine, he initially ignored Essex Police's attempts to confirm who was driving the car before making up a series of stories to shift the blame, Essex Police said. The driver was caught on camera driving his Honda sports car at 67mph on a 50mph section of the M11 . Pc Roy Keyes, from the force's casualty reduction team, said: 'Ashley X was determined to avoid paying the £60 fine and having three penalty points on his licence. 'But for five years he tried to deny the offence and committed two serious offences which ultimately led to him being sent to prison.' X tried to fight the speeding charge in six different courts, concocting various stories including that his cousin was driving, faking a letter from that cousin purportedly confirming this and claiming this cousin had already paid the fine. After being found guilty of failing to provide a driver's details he challenged the verdict at Chelmsford Crown Court and the Court of Appeal but both claims were rejected. When police looked more closely at the case, they found the 'cousin' who X claimed had been driving, and discovered he was in fact a friend, who never owned the car and denied writing any letter admitting that he had been the driver. The driver tried to convince authorities that his cousin was driving the car at the time of the offence . X, from Ruislip, west London, finally admitted perjury and perverting the course of justice at Ipswich Crown Court on Thursday. Judge Martyn Levett sentenced X to nine months imprisonment. He was also ordered to pay costs of £1,200. Essex Police praised the Crown Prosecution Service for its perseverance in bringing the case against the 35-year-old motorist. Do you know Mr X? If so, please call Darren Boyle on (0203) 615 3247 or email [email protected] .

We know him as 'Success Kid' - the toddler with a clenched fist and look of satisfaction who's become the internet's most positive meme. But now Sam Griner is eight years old and is using his online fame to help out his sick dad. His mother, Laney Griner from Jacksonville, Florida, set up a GoFundMe page to raise the $75,000 her husband, Justin, needs for the kidney transplant and years of subsequent medications. 'Please help us reach our goal so that Justin may get the pre-treatments and transplant he desperately needs,' she wrote on the fundraising page. Scroll down for video . Plea: Sammy Griner is pictured with his 39-year-old father, Justin, who needs a kidney transplant . Famous face: Sammy is better known as the face of the 'Success Kid' meme. His mother snapped the photo - which actually shows him just moments before trying to put sand in his mouth - when he was 11 months . 'His mother died from this disease, please help us write a different story for Justin and his son, Sam.' By Tuesday afternoon, the page had raised more than $38,000 of the goal. Although Griner initially decided against using the notoriety of 'Success Kid' to help raise funds, she eventually spoke to The Daily Dot about the campaign because of her fears for her husband. Justin, 39, discovered his kidneys were failing before the birth of their son and he now spends about four hours a day, three days a week undergoing dialysis, Mrs Griner told ABC News. He is unable to work and never has energy, she said. The longer he is on the dialysis, the higher the chance that he could develop complications. 'Six years on dialysis is getting to be a long time,' she said. 'It's wearing on him.' Sign of success: His face has since been used to create the internet's most positive meme, pictured . Grimace: An image shows Sammy, who is now eight years old, posing beside a t-shirt bearing his face . The funds will supplement the money Medicare puts towards the procedure. The family will also need $12,000 for just the first year of medications, although he'll be on drugs for the rest of his life. It is also not yet clear where the kidney will come from and so the family is also using the GoFundMe page to ask strangers to see if they could be a match. So far, no friends or family members have proved a match, she told The Daily Dot, and getting on a list for a deceased donor can take at least five years. 'We certainly prefer a living donor because the prognosis seems to be much better,' she said. 'We're certainly not opposed [to waiting for a donor], but obviously, the sooner the better for us all.' To help raise awareness about her husband's need for a kidney, she turned to her son for help. Mrs Griner had snapped the photo of Sammy on the beach when he was 11 months old. The image looks as if he is punching the air - but she said he was actually about to put sand in his mouth. Close: Justin, pictured, discovered his kidneys were failing before Sam was born and receives dialysis . Appeal: The boy's mother, Laney, said she initially didn't want to use the boy's famous face to raise funds because she wanted the focus to be on Justin, but she said she just wants to see him healthy . She put the photo on her Flickr page in 2007 and two years later, she noticed that it was being used for memes before eventually becoming the beloved 'Success Kid' meme around 2010. His face has featured on billboard, TV commercials and t-shirts, which Mrs Griner called both 'weird' and 'awesome'. 'By now, it's just out there,' she said. 'What am I going to do? At least it's positive. Without that happening, how much could I get this recognition about my husband's kidney transplant?' There are more than 100,000 people waiting for a kidney transplant in the U.S., and of the 29,531 kidney transplants carried out last year, 23,715 were from living donors, according to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network.

Sam Griner was just 11 months old when his mother snapped him clenching his fist on the beach and posted the image online . Years later, she learned it had become the popular 'Success Kid' meme . Sammy's father, Justin, has been on dialysis for six years and is in need of a kidney transplant so the family is now appealing for help . They have set up a GoFundMe page to try to find him a kidney and to raise the $75,000 he will need for the procedure and medication .

Stan Collymore, talkSPORT lead football pundit who revels in laying down the law on the radio, astonished reporters with his behaviour during Aston Villa’s 3-3 Premier League draw with QPR on Tuesday night. Collymore, despite sitting in the Villa Park press box where media impartiality is taken for granted, was jumping up and down during the game like the most fanatical Villa fan, celebrating the goals with the home supporters. He even greeted QPR’s Joey Barton falling down to win a free-kick by clearly shouting at him: ‘You f****** rat.’ talkSport pundit Stan Collymore was in full fan mode as he celebrated Villa's 3-3 draw with QPR . The former Villa striker let loose with his wild, and sometimes expletive laden, comments from the press box . Villa fan Collymore believed such actions in the supposed neutral sanctuary of the press box were permissible as he wasn’t working for talkSPORT during the match. He tweeted: ‘With respect, on nights I go as a fan . . . I’m not being paid to do anything other than be a fan.’ And talkSPORT would not comment as they said Collymore wasn’t on duty, with reporter Nigel Pearson giving his rather more impartial verdict for the station. However Collymore did an interview with Adrian Durham and Darren Gough on talkSPORT before the match. Collymore called Joey Barton a 'f*****g rat' after he fell down to win a free-kick for QPR during the game . Jason Gillespie, Yorkshire’s highly-rated championship-winning coach also in charge of Big Bash team Adelaide Strikers, is hardly your archetypal red-meat-eating Aussie fast bowler. Gillespie, who would be first choice for England as well if Peter Moores fails in the West Indies, is preparing for new season by becoming a vegan. Meanwhile Lancashire’s supporters’ action group are questioning the value of having Sky Sports commentator Paul Allott on the club board after Peter Siddle, Lancashire’s overseas signing, was selected for Australia’s tours of the West Indies and England, ruling him out of any county involvement. Yorkshire's championship winning coach Jason Gillespie is preparing for the season with a new diet . Bookmakers Paddy Power, rabid publicists guaranteed to offend, have a new stunt showing Ruby Walsh supposedly preparing for the Grand National by jumping his horse over a speeding car. The YouTube video is plainly mocked up but, with sensitivities around animal welfare, it was crass of Walsh, jump racing’s pre-eminent jockey after AP McCoy’s forthcoming retirement, to involve himself in such a provocative spoof — even if he is a Paddy Power ambassador. Ruby Walsh and horse clear a car, claimed to be travelling at 40mph, as part of the Grand National countdown . The split between FA chairman Greg Dyke and vice-chairman David Gill over homegrown players became very apparent during Wednesday's FA council meeting. After Dyke gave his well-received presentation, Manchester United director Gill, with his Premier League hat on, told council that Dyke should have said ‘I’ rather than ‘we’ as the issue had yet to be debated by the FA board. Gill wants the consultation period to be a proper process starting at board level — during which no doubt the Premier League will try to hijack it. So the big question is whether Dyke is willing to use the rulebook to force it through. FA chairman Greg Dyke still faces a challenge to convince everyone over plans to change homegrown quota . Gordon faces scrutiny . Michael Gordon, American representative on daily Liverpool business for the club’s Fenway Sports Group owners, likes to operate well away from the media spotlight. However Boston Red Sox baseball shareholder Gordon might soon have to explain his major involvement in a number of signings that haven’t worked out as well as current contract stand-offs if Liverpool’s season were to further unravel. It’s understood Gordon’s high opinion of Liverpool’s pulling power and ability to keep players might have been swayed rather too much by their brief presence in the Champions League. Michael Gordon may have to explain why several signings, such as Mario Balotelli, have not worked out . Channel 4 racing missing the start of an all-weather championship race at Lingfield last Friday because of an ad break could come back to haunt them. Arena Racing Company, the largest UK racing group are understood to have paid for the TV production costs as part of the Lingfield promotion that attracted a 9,000 crowd. Meanwhile ARC are looking to invite people supportive of their all-weather racing track at Newcastle for a celebratory launch when they receive the go-ahead for the plans discussed by the British Horseracing Authority board yesterday. However those in favour of the flat turf being dug up on the Newcastle mile are very hard to find.

A handwritten note delivered to the pilots by a plane passenger thanking them for 'taking her home safely' has gone viral, just a week after the Germanwings tragedy that claimed 150 lives. A screenshot of the letter was shared on Twitter, and in a matter of minutes amassed more than 2,000 shares. The heartfelt message was posted by airline pilot Jai Dillon, who was shown the A4 by a colleague in the industry. A heartfelt letter left by passenger 'Bethanie' to the pilot who 'got her home safely,' has been shared on Twitter . He wrote on Twitter: 'A letter given to a colleague from a passenger onboard his aircraft.. Providing proof that we're all in this together,' alongside the touching note. In it, a passenger known only as 'Bethanie' writes how, in light of the recent Alps plane crash, she feels the need to 'reach out' and 'extend a compassionate hand.' The woman thanks the pilot and the airline, which is not mentioned, for 'allowing her' to live her life in Spain, while splitting the time with family in England too. There was an outpouring of emotion on Twitter after the letter was posted by pilot Jai Dillon . The terrible scene of the Germanwings plane crash in the French Alps, where pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed the plane . She writes that she hopes the letter can create 'a ripple effect and spread some compassion and understanding,' among those who have such responsibilities. She signs off by saying: 'You're making a massive difference and you're the reason I can smile tonight. 'Take care and spread love.' The photo currently has over 3,700 shares and has been favourited almost 3,000 times. Mr Dillon did take to Twitter to say that he was not able to reveal the airline or flight number due to security reasons. The role of the pilot was praised by many on Twitter following the letter being posted . Cheshire-based Mr Dillon said he happy to share the 'positive message,' according to the Evening Standard. Investigations are continuing in the events of that fateful day last week over the French Alps. German prosecutors said Andreas Lubitz, 27, who they believe deliberately caused the crash, had therapy for suicidal tendencies some time before getting his pilot's licence. The sharing of the letter led to thousands of shares and 'favourites' on Twitter . And he was being treated by a psychotherapist, Dusseldorf prosecutor's office spokesman Christoph Kumpa said. Cockpit voice recorder evidence has indicated that Lubitz deliberately put the Airbus A320 into a descent after locking out the captain.

An obedient pooch showed off its athleticism by completing press-ups with a twist alongside a dog trainer. The dog named Teeny is captured on video sat opposite Eric Ko – a trainer with over ten years’ experience – of the Dogaroo centre in Hong Kong. The pair hold onto push-up bars with their front paws and hands respectively and wait for the trainer's command before getting into position. Looking up at Eric in excitement, the dog waits for the trainer to say ‘one’ and complete a press-up before following suit and completing one of its own. On ‘two’ the pair return to their original position before Eric says ‘three’ and ‘four’ and the dog reaches out to high-five him with both paws. Eric then says ‘kiss’ and the dog leans towards him and gives him a quick peck on the lips before the pair begin the routine again. The dog looks up at the trainer in excitement and waits for him to say 'one' before starting . Repeating the process twice more, the dog maintains its level of concentration and acts upon every command as intended. The video concludes with Eric saying: ‘Come on Teeny you can do it,’ as the pair continue to complete more press-ups.

Maate, it's the biggest bogan in Straya! This is the image of the Big Bogan statue that the Bogan Shire Council is aiming to erect in the town of Nyngan to honour the Aussie icon - and hopefully draw in the crowds. The man behind it all is Graeme Burke who is the manager of engineering services for the council and this is his design for the statue. This is how Graeme Burke envisages the 'Big Bogan' statue will look like . Pass us a smoke mate: The term 'bogan' has a number of negative connotations for Australians but has become a character part of popular folklore, being depicted here by actor Eric Bana . Mr Burke said the 3.6-metre statue would show a 'bloke' wearing shorts, thongs and a singlet with a fishing rod and a tuckerbox. Locals and visitors would also be able to sit on it and take photographs. 'Graham McCleod of the Anglican Church suggestion to me some time ago that Nyngan would benefit froma “Big Bogan” sculpture as a tourist attraction so I have been considering various designs for its construction,' Mr Burke told Daily Mail Australia. 'Although I do not like the way a 'bogan' is depicted and I do not want Nyngan to be thought of as being a town full of “bogans”, it is a term that is widely used and well known in Australia and New Zealand. 'Where better in Australia could we have “The Big Bogan” than on the banks of the Bogan River, in Bogan Shire?' Bogan Shire Council, in western New South Wales, wants to erect a 'big bogan' statue . The 'big bogan' statue could prove as popular as the Big Banana which is a tourist attraction in Coffs Harbour . Mr Burke's proposal is for a 3.6m tall steel figure cut out of 5mm steel plate. The figure is wearing a singlet, has a handlebar moustache and is holding a fishing rod. The esky in the original drawing would be constructed as a three dimensional steel box fixed to the sculpture to allow tourists to sit on to have their photo taken. 'I would like the sculpture to be related to Nyngan on the Bogan River, I have used the fishing theme and I would like to see it located on the eastern side of the Peter Sinclair Bridge opposite the Tritton Mine Village,' Mr Bourke said. 'In this location it would be on the highway, at the river, and visible from both directions.' The traditional bogan image has include a 'mullett' style haircut, singlet and thongs, and beer . Could the 'big bogan' rival this?  Nicknamed 'Rambo', The Big Merino is a 15.2 metres tall concrete merino ram, located in Goulburn, New South Wales . The Big Prawn in Ballina has become famous in the region . He estimated the construction and installation of the 'Big Bogan' would be a total cost of $8,000. The 'big bogan' statue could prove as popular as the Big Banana which is a tourist attraction in Coffs Harbour, the The Big Merino in Goulburn, the Big Prawn in Ballina and Sunshine Coast's Big Pineapple. However, Bogan Shire Council said the venture would not go ahead until the community gave it the thumbs up. ABC News reports that local residents have expressed mixed feelings about it already. In the Sunshine Coast, the Big Pineapple is a major feature . One said it was a great idea - but it could be improved. 'One thing that's missing is the stubby,' he said. Another resident was less enthusiastic. 'I do not identify as a bogan - if you look up bogan, it's very negative,' she said.

Bogan Shire Council in NSW is planning a statue to honour its namesake . It would depict a 'bloke' in shorts and singlet carrying a rod and tuckerbox . Mayor Ray Donald said the statue could have tourism benefits . Would join the trend for 'big' things in country towns . Existing icons include the big Merino, the big banana and the big pineapple .

Comedian Dave Hughes has refused to apologise for calling radio broadcaster Derryn Hinch a 'w**ker' on national television. Hughes and Hinch appeared on Monday night's Q&A panel discussing depression and alcohol, following the emergence of a video featuring Prime Minister Tony Abbott skolling a beer in a pub. Audience member Lauren Hayes asked Minister for Trade and Investment Andrew Robb if he thought Mr Abbott's 'display of irresponsible drinking was an act of peer pressure or an attempt to become more popular with younger voters'. Scroll down for video . Australian comedian Dave Hughes (pictured) called radio broadcaster Derryn Hinch a 'w**ker' on national television . This sparked Hinch to question if binge drinking was as prevalent back when he was younger as it was today. But Hughes interjected and said this culture had existed and people drank to get drunk. To which the radio personality replied: 'I drank because I like the taste of wine.' Without missing a beat, the Australian comedian fired back: 'That's because you're a w**ker.' Hinch (above) and Hughes were on ABC's Q&A on Monday night discussing alcohol and depression . But Hinch would not have any of it, saying: 'It takes one to know one.' Hughes told Kiis 101.1 radio he would not recant his comment about Hinch. 'I absolutely stand by it. In that moment, and I think Derryn would agree... he was a w**ker,' the comedian said on Tuesday morning. And the veteran radio personality did not seem to mind the put down. 'I've been insulted by experts so I can handle it,' Derryn told the Melbourne radio station. 'I thought David Hughes was quite quiet last night. The episode came after a video surfaced of Tony Abbott skolling a beer in a Sydney pub on the weekend . Mr Abbott downed a schooner of beer in about six seconds while patrons cheered and encouraged him . 'Normally I look at him and he belongs to that breed of... comedians who think the louder you tell a joke the funnier it gets. I wasn't offended.' On social media, one Twitter user stood behind the radio broadcaster, saying: 'Boogly-eyed comedian Dave Hughes' high-horse 'w**ker' comment was way out of line; great response.' Another called Hughes out by using the comedian's same insult: 'Dave... is a w**ker.' But others were supportive of Hughes' view. '[Hughes] calling [Hinch] a w**ker... gold!' one supporter said. 'Hughesy is winning [Q&A] because you're a w**ker hinch,' another Twitter user said. Monday night's Q&A also saw a more serious Hughes tell the audience about his battles with alcohol and depression. 'When I was 21, I was drinking heavily and smoking marijuana and having sort of episodes at night, and I said to my mum that I think I've got schizophrenia,' the comedian said. 'We went to the doctor together - she was a beautiful mother - obviously, she helped me out. 'The doctor, we had a chat about it. I told him I smoked marijuana and he told me, made me stop doing that. And I did, stopped smoking marijuana and I stopped drinking. 'When I walked out of that doctor's surgery I felt so much better just at having told people about it.'

Obama loosened the trade embargo early this year with a series of executive actions that allow easier U.S. travel to Cuba, more remittances to the island and, at least on paper, U.S. exports to support the island's relatively new private business sector. Obama also moved to remove Cuba from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terror, removing a barrier to access to the global financial system. Cuban officials have been pushing Obama to go further with measures that could include more specific federal licenses for U.S. businesses to trade with Cuba in ways currently prohibited. 'The president of the United States has the ability to grant licenses to businesses so that businesses can actually start developing right now in select areas and those are areas that we want to pursue,' Cuomo said. Ten previous U.S. governors have visited Cuba since 1999 but none since 2010, according to the U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council.

When Destiny's Child reunited at the Stellar Gospel Awards in Las Vegas last weekend, it was the first time Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams performed together since appearing during the halftime show at Super Bowl in 2013 in New Orleans. Beyoncé and Kelly joined Michelle to surprise the crowd,and opened the broadcast with a gospel medley that included the song 'Alpha & Omega' and the hit single 'Say Yes' from Michelle's 'Journey To Freedom' CD. The group received a rousing standing ovation from the 9,000-plus crowd, but they weren't introduced as Destiny's child - they were introduced by their individual names. Scroll down for video . Nameless: Singers Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland and Beyonce performing "Say Yes" during the 30th Annual Stellar Awards in Las Vegas last week. The singers did not refer to themselves as Destiny's Child . Touchdown: Destiny's Child perform during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show in 2013 . Daily Mail Online has learned exclusively that the threesome want to do another ten-year reunion tour and intend to cut a reunion album - but they won't use the group name for that either. And it's all by design. 'Alhough Destiny's Child is made up of the three ladies, Beyoncé's father and former manager Mathew Knowles owns one-fourth of the group as well. Anytime they do anything under the name Destiny's Child, he has involvement in it and money from it,' a source close to the group reveals to Daily Mail Online. None of the members of Destiny's Child want any involvement with Mathew, who once managed each of their individual careers as well as the group. Kelly was first to fire him in 2009, Michelle followed in 2010 and Beyoncé finally nixed all dealings with her dad after accusations of stealing money from her in 2011. Mathew's marriage to Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles ended after it surfaced he had gotten a woman named Alexsandra Wright pregnant. Once she gave birth to their son Nixon, Tina filed for divorce. In 2014, it was revealed that Mathew fathered a second child, a four-year-old daughter named Koi. 'That it was claimed Mathew stole money from Beyoncé and then he sued to prove that he didn't was bad enough. But all of the extramarital affairs and children outside the marriage just made it so that Beyoncé doesn't have anything to do with her dad at all,' the source explained. Before the split: Destiny's Child and Matthew Knowles pose for a portrait October 30, 2000 in Houston . In late 2012, Beyoncé invited her dad to meet daughter Blue Ivy and to have a conversation with him that was chronicled for her HBO documentary, 'Beyoncé: Life Is But a Dream.' But after  that, says the source, she stopped communicating with him again and his only access to her is via her assistant's work email address. The trio's unwillingness to deal with Mathew is why they keep putting off a Destiny's Child reunion album and tour. Their 2005 Destiny Fulfilled tour grossed approximately $70.8 million in the U.S. alone and according to Billboard it was the highest-grossing tour for either a pop or R&B band since TLC's FanMail Tour. Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle wanted to record a 10-year follow-up CD and launch a tour. They know both the album and tour could a huge seller and break tour records. 'The problem is they can't figure out how to nix Mathew from the deal. They all want more than anything to give the fans one last run of the group, especially since they all have their own individual success, but don't want to deal with Mathew,' the source explained. It's unlikely that Mathew would allow the women to cut any deals without him. His financial problems have been widely reported over the last year. Having once earned millions of dollars, Mathew told a court during a child support hearing in 2014 that he only made $127K in 2013 and has expenses of at $51,000 a month. Destiny's Child first album debuted in  1998 . In late 2012, Beyoncé invited her dad to meet daughter Blue Ivy and to have a conversation with him that was chronicled for her HBO documentary. But after that, says the source, she stopped communicating . Last December photos emerged of a huge garage sale he was having in Houston, where selling both Beyoncé and old Destiny's Child memorabilia to raise money. 'At best they maybe could offer him a flat rate or one-time settlement to buy out his portion of the group, but otherwise we may never get a Destiny's Child reunion because none of them want him to benefit financially,' the source concluded. Destiny's Child made their debut in 1998 with their self-titled release. The group then consisted of Beyoncé, Kelly, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. In 1999, Mathew kicked out LaTavia and LeToya and replaced them with Michelle and a short-lived member Farrah Franklin (she barely lasted three months) before settling in as a trio. They would release four additional albums; win three Grammy Awards and go on to sell more than 60 million records worldwide. Mathew Knowles financial problems have been widely reported over the last year. Having once earned millions of dollars, Mathew told a court during a child support hearing in 2014 that he only made $127K in 2013 and has expenses of at $51,000 a month .

Kelly first became a top-selling European music superstar before finding solo success in the U.S. with hit singles like 'When Love Takes Over' and 'Motivation.'

The Wildcats close the season at 38-1 - two wins short of becoming the first undefeated team in college basketball since the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers. Instead, these NBA-ready group of Wildcats join the star-studded 1991 UNLV team as the latest to take an undefeated record into the Final Four but lose in the semifinals.

It started with a tough, twisting shot by a future NBAer, Sam Dekker (16 points), and kept going when Nigel Hayes tipped in an air ball after the shot clock had clearly turned to '0.' No violation was called, and in a game full of shaky officiating that left both coaches screaming, it generated momentum for the Badgers and left Kentucky flat.

Nick Clegg has been accused of blaming 'everyone but himself' after making a series of excuses for the party's disastrous poll ratings. In an interview, the Lib Dem leader listed a range of reasons why different groups of former supporters are 'p***** off' and have deserted the party since 2010. And he said all those reasons were more important than any policy decisions he made including on tuition fees. Scroll down for video . Collapse: Nick Clegg has told the Economist there was a range of reasons why different groups left. Pictures: The Lib Dem leader on the campaign trail in north west England on Tuesday, April 7 . Blame game: But Mr Clegg has said none of them were to do with his policy making decisions . He was asked in an interview with the Economist magazine why Lib Dem support had 'collapsed' in the last five years. He blamed protest voters who supported the party but deserted it after it entered coalition because they didn't want to take any 'responsibility'. He also blamed the fact the Lib Dems had entered into coalition with one of the major parties. He said going in with Tories meant it was 'inevitable' that support would fall in 'anti-conservative' parts of Britain. And he said public sector workers had left because their pensions were hit and some faced job cuts. Mr Clegg said there was 'clearly a section of the support we had in 2010 that was virulently anti-Conservative'. Coallition: Mr Clegg said going in with the Tories meant they would lose 'virulently anti-Conservative' voters . Cuts: Public sector workers had left because their pensions were hit and some faced job cuts, he claimed . He said: 'They're the ones who still scream and shout blue murder and have done so without pause for breath for half a decade. And they're loud and they're noisy and they're angry. 'And that was a significant chunk of support that basically wanted to be associated with any party that didn't have the remotest sniff of power. 'There just is a constituency out there that wants to be entirely bereft of any responsibility. So they're clearly also very pissed off. It was 'wholly predictable and totally unsurprising' that public sector workers were at risk of being 'disenchanted'. He added that those factors are 'probably more important explanations than tuition fees, or this decision or that decision, although those obviously play a part'. Mr Clegg said some areas of country are a Lib Dem 'desert' and the party is now running a 'defensive' campaign focusing on winning where it retains support. 'Petulant': A Tory source has told the Daily Mail: 'This sums Nick Clegg. Its everyone's fault but his own' He admitted there are 'great parts of the country now where there is just no Liberal Democrat presence' citing the North of England and areas where they are fighting against Labour. He added: 'We're not going to waste any time, any effort, any money, any energy on places where we're not going to win—which, by the way, is the vast majority of the country.' In 2010 the Lib Dems won 23 per cent of the vote but national polls in recent months have put them on single digits. A Tory source said: 'This sums Nick Clegg. Its everyone's fault but his own. He is like a petulant child.' Despite his party facing the prospect of losing dozens of seats, Mr Clegg used the interview to stake a claim for a particular government department his party would like to run if he is back in coalition after May 7. He said he would call for the Lib Dems to be given control of education, and criticised the 'fruitless and fruitcakey' policy 'spasms' under former Education Secretary Michael Gove.

Claimed public sector workers left because pensions hit and jobs cut . Says those reasons were more important than policy decisions he made .

Swansea manager Garry Monk says he will listen to Michu before deciding whether the Spaniard has a future at the Liberty Stadium. The once-capped Spain striker has spent a frustrating season on loan at Napoli where injury has seen him make just five appearances for Rafa Bentitez's Serie A giants. Michu scored 22 goals in his first season at Swansea after signing from Rayo Vallecano for £2.2million in July 2012 and broke into the Spain squad, but two injury-riddled campaigns since have raised doubts about his future in south Wales. Garry Monk will hold talks with Michu, pictured in 2013, before making decision on Spaniard's future . Michu recently said he did not know whether he would be returning to Swansea after his spell at Napoli . The 29-year-old told Spanish newspaper Marca last week he did not know whether he would be returning to Swansea this summer to see out the final year of his contract - and Monk was also giving few clues when the subject was raised ahead of Everton's Barclays Premier League visit on Saturday. 'I'm sure we will make contact with Michu before the end of season,' Monk said. 'But we'll let his season finish and our season finish before we sit down at some point to discuss the future. 'I know he's had a difficult time with injury and his concentration right now is on getting back to fitness. 'He'll want to finish the season off strong there and I'll speak to him in the summer. 'I'll get his side of things and where he wants to take his future and I'll assess it from my side as well.' Monk has been keeping a close eye on Michu during the Spaniard's loan spell at Italian outfit Napoli . Michu scored only twice in the Premier League last season before joining Napoli and Monk made it clear that the player was determined to head to Italy. 'I had a good discussion with him last summer and this was the way he wanted to go with Napoli,' Monk said. 'But he's coming back to full fitness now and hopefully he will have a good end to the season there. 'I've got a good relationship with Michu, we were team-mates before I became manager, and I was fine with how he wanted to go. 'I've kept an eye on him and it's our duty as a club to understand what's exactly going on with Michu on a game to game basis. 'He hasn't had a sustained period where he's been fit and it's always hard as a player when that happens. 'He's been unfortunate, but if he get can a sustained period of fitness I'm sure you'll see the quality we've seen here.' Monk has heaped praise on Bafetimbi Gomis following the striker's recent fine goalscoring form . One player who has been fit and firing, however, is French striker Bafetimbi Gomis who has scored three goals in his last two appearances as Swansea have recorded back-to-back wins over Aston Villa and Hull to move within a single point of their best Premier League haul with seven games still remaining. Gomis had a difficult first half to the season playing second fiddle to Wilfried Bony but the Ivorian's initial £25million sale to Manchester City has seen him become the club's first-choice striker and he has grasped the opportunity in recent weeks. 'When Wilfried left and he was starting games Bafe was probably too eager to do well,' Monk said. 'His effort and commitment have always been great but he was trying too hard to score goals. 'He's kept that effort and commitment but he's probably more relaxed now, he's showing his composure in games now and that is vitally important.'

Michu has made just five appearances since joining Napoli on loan deal . The Swansea striker has one more year to run on his Swansea contract . Swans boss Garry Monk plans to contact Michu before end of campaign .

An unknown Englishman playing in his first PGA Tour event will have the chance to complete an unbelievable fairytale at the Shell Houston Open on Sunday and earn the most unlikely invitation to the Masters. Surrey-born Kelvin Day has only played a handful of events on the subsidiary circuit, the Web.com Tour but decided to enter qualifying for the Houston event. This is a real 36 hole lottery where 131 players were fighting for the final four spots. With two excellent rounds of 64, the 27-year-old finished tied first to earn his place – and how he has taken advantage. It was a decent achievement in itself to make the halfway cut, and it earned him a third round draw alongside two rather more famous Englishmen in Paul Casey and Justin Rose. Kelvin Day is three shots behind the leaders and remains in with a chance of making the Masters . Day, however, refused to be overawed as he put together a tidy, bogey-free scorecard to match the 68 shot by Casey and upstage Rose, who shot 72. Incredibly, that has left Day alongside Casey in tied sixth place, just three shots off the lead held, almost inevitably, by the remarkably consistent young American, Jordan Spieth. Realistically, a top ten finish would be a fine achievement for Day, which would earn him a place in the field for the tournament after the Masters, the Heritage in South Carolina. But it is worth bearing in mind that a victory would not only earn him a PGA Tour card but the last spot in the field for Augusta. Wouldn’t that be some story? Casey only learned he was in the field for the Masters himself last Sunday, and is continuing his welcome revival this season with another good showing. He is a former winner of this event and again showed his liking for the course. Record crowds descended on the Houston suburb of Humble to watch the great crowd pleaser Phil Mickelson, who began one off the halfway lead and the newest Texan golfing hero, Spieth. Jordan Spieth leads the way in Houston . But while the latter delivered with a 67 to lead the way on 14 under, Mickelson could only muster a 75 to tumble down the leaderboard. It’s amazing to think it’s only 18 months since Spieth was attracting heavy criticism for dropping out of college to take his place on the PGA Tour as the 809th ranked player in the world. While his former university classmates are studying hard for their final exams, 21 year old Spieth might be said to have passed his own particular exam with flying colours, since he has risen to fourth in the world and will go second behind Rory McIlroy should he claim this title on Sunday. He would also take his earnings over those 18 months to almost $12 million. Funnily enough, he’s not attracting criticism anymore. Spieth, watched by his parents and younger sister Ellie, hass a one stroke advantage over a trio of lesser-known countrymen – Scott Piercy, former Houston champion Jason Wagner and Austin Cook. ‘I’ve got a lot of friends as well as my family in the gallery and I shall certainly be trying to win for them on Sunday,’ said Spieth. If he did that it would be his fourth victory in his last nine starts and underline his status as one of the favourites to win the green jacket. Spieth finished runner-up behind Bubba Watson on his Masters debut last year. Like Day, 24 year old Cook is trying to write an astonishing story of his own. He just happens to be the Monday qualifier who tied Day for first place. As for Mickelson, his poor form over the past few months caught up with him on Saturday after opening rounds of 66 and 67 had raised hopes he was close to his best. The 44 year old fell apart over the closing stretch, registering four bogeys in his last five holes.

Kelvin Day, from Surrey, has played a handful of events on Web.com Tour . He entered the qualifying for the Houston Open and finished tied first . He then made the cut and is now three shots off the lead . Victory for Day would earn him a place in the Masters field .

The panel that cleared Inverness defender Josh Meekings to play in the William Hill Scottish Cup final did not even consider his handball, the Scottish Football Association has revealed. Meekings saw his cup-final ban thrown out by a judicial panel tribunal on Thursday after Caley Thistle challenged his one-game suspension for denying Celtic an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberate handball. And it has emerged the Highland club's lawyers successfully argued that SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan had no right to bring the case because match officials had seen the incident where Meekings stopped a Leigh Griffiths header during his side's 3-2 win over Celtic on Sunday. Inverness defender Josh Meekings will be allowed to appear in Scottish Cup final after his ban was dismissed . Meekings was not sent off and no penalty was given as Inverness went on to beat Celtic 3-2 after extra-time . The SFA published the reasons given by the chair of the three-man panel. They read: 'Further to the judicial panel hearing yesterday involving Josh Meekings, the panel considered initial submissions from Mr Meekings' solicitor. 'In particular it was argued by him that under protocol 13.4.1.1 the judicial panel was not entitled to determine the matter. 'The panel considered that as the incident (but not the actual alleged sending-off offence of handball) had been seen by one or more of the officials it was not entitled to consider the matter further. PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart had warned before the verdict that the SFA was veering into dangerous territory . 'It accordingly dismissed the complaint without any consideration of the merits of the incident or the decision arrived at by the referee.' The decision could effectively blunt the SFA's powers to bring retrospective cases against players, unless an incident has been completely missed by all match officials. Players have previously been cited for diving to win penalties. The rule states that the compliance officer can bring cases for alleged sending-off offences 'not seen by match officials'. The Meekings case was brought because referee Steven McLean and his team had not seen the ball hit the defender's hand. PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart had warned before the verdict that the SFA was veering into dangerous territory. He said: 'I think you have seen this week from the reaction of players across the country, players have no problem with video evidence being used for incidents that genuinely haven't been seen by the referee. 'Maybe a punch behind the referee's back and fly kick when the ball is away. 'But we think, if the rule has been extended, then it is now erring into re-refereeing a game on a Monday. 'That's not the purpose of video evidence. That's why the English FA and FIFA and UEFA steer away from that. The referee could see the incident on Sunday, he just didn't see the handball.'

Inverness defender Josh Meekings won appeal against one-match ban . The 22-year-old was offered one-game suspension following incident . However, an independent judicial panel tribunal overturned decision . Inverness reached the Scottish Cup final with 3-2 win over Celtic .

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed how rejection as a young player has inspired him to give the likes of Raheem Sterling and Jordon Ibe their break in the first team. Rodgers failed to make it as a professional footballer despite leaving Northern Ireland for England at the age of 16 and training with the Reading youth team. The Reds manager believes the memory of missing out on a first team spot despite being promised one has helped him to handle Liverpool's young players. Brendan Rodgers takes positives from his experience of not making it as a professional footballer . 20-year-old star Raheem Sterling (left) has flourished under the guidance of Rodgers . Speaking of his experience, Rodgers told Barclays: 'I felt as a young player I didn't get the chance. I was a talented youth player in Northern Ireland. 'I came to England, to Reading when I was 16. I was captain of the youth team and was then in the first team squad. 'The manager at the time asked me to play in the reserve game on the Monday to get some game time then look to make my first team debut on the Wednesday against Fulham. The Reds manager believes the memory of missing out on a playing career has helped him in the long run . Rodgers failed to make it as a professional footballer despite leaving Northern Ireland for England aged 16 . 'When Wednesday came, I was expected to play and it ended up that I didn't play. That hit me probably harder than it should have done. 'I felt that from that moment that I was probably never going to get the chance.' The 42-year-old believes those experiences as a youngster have helped him to nurture the talents of the likes of Sterling, who has already made 120 appearances for Liverpool at the tender age of 20. Rodgers (centre) described himself as a 'talented youth player', but he failed to make the grade . Rodgers (middle row, second up) was on the books at Reading where he was captain of the youth team . Sterling made his Liverpool debut in August, 2012 as Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Norwich City . Rodgers added: 'But those negative experiences, I was able to turn them into a positive in my life and in my work. 'I could help young players and prepare them. If I told young players they were going to play, they would play. 'There comes a time when you have to let them go. Sometimes you never know until they're in the arena. They just want that opportunity.' Jordan Ibe looks to have a bright future at Liverpool as Rodgers looks to give youth a chance .

South Korea Ambassador Lippert is now wearing a dynamic exoskeletal brace on his hand while he recovers from last month's knife attack. Mark Lippert, 42, suffered deep gashes to his cheek and hand when he was assaulted by knife-wielding nationalist Kim Ki-Jong at a breakfast function in central Seoul last month. The envoy required 80 stitches to the wound on his face and two-and-a-half hours of surgery. Scroll down for video . South Korea Ambassador Lippert is now wearing a dynamic exoskeletal brace on his hand (pictured) while he recovers from last month's knife attack .

Pictured: Lippert pictured with the brace with his wife and young baby . The brace was created by Seoul’s Severance Hospital and Lippert marveled at how quickly they had constructed it. 'It is an amazing apparatus, one I haven't seen before - so innovative and creative,' he wrote on Facebook. 'It is very comfortable and has made a huge difference in my recovery as I am able to hold things in my hand.

Last week South Korean prosecutors formally charged the man who injured Lippert with attempted murder on Wednesday - despite his denials of any intention to kill. Last week South Korean prosecutors formally charged Kim Ki-Jong with attempted murder . The prosecutors' office in Seoul said Kim, was charged with attempted murder, violence against a foreign envoy and obstruction of duty. Kim, 55, was a known maverick activist who had been handed a two-year suspended sentence in 2010 for hurling a rock at the then Japanese ambassador to Seoul. He has denied any intention to kill Lippert, but the prosecutors office said in a statement that the crime was clearly deliberate. 'There was an intention to murder because (Kim) used a lethal weapon in a pre-meditated crime to attack the ambassador's face and neck repeatedly,' it said. Kim has told investigators the ambassador was the 'symbolic' target of his opposition to annual US-South Korea joint military exercises, which he blames for blocking dialogue with North Korea. The annual drills have long been condemned by Pyongyang as rehearsals for invasion. Kim insisted he had acted alone and not on the orders of Pyongyang, but prosecutors said they were looking into whether he has violated the South's strict National Security Law banning any act seen as aiding North Korea or promoting its ideology. Investigators have ransacked Kim's home as part of an investigation into Kim's possible links with North Korea. Kim had visited the North seven times and once tried to erect a memorial in Seoul to the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il after his death in 2011. North Korea has rejected accusations that it may have been behind the attack as a 'vicious' smear campaign by Seoul.

Defeated: Napoleon (illustrated) lost at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 . Guests attending a service in London to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo have been told not to act in a 'triumphalist' way – to avoid upsetting the French. Invitations to the service at St Paul's Cathedral advise that it will avoid glorifying the Duke of Wellington's historic victory over Napoleon in 1815. But last night the move was criticised by politicians, who said it 'took political correctness to an absurd new degree'. The invitation to the Waterloo 200 event says: 'The service, although related to a military victory, is not in any way glorifying war, nor must it be seen as triumphalist.' Instead, the service – to be attended by members of the Royal Family and senior political and military figures – will focus on the 'pan-European' implications of the battle and the century of peace that followed. Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg, who is bidding to be re-elected as a Somerset MP, said: 'Waterloo was a triumph of good versus evil. Napoleon was responsible for between three million and 6.5 million deaths. 'Two hundred years on, it is ridiculous to spare the blushes of the French by not celebrating the battle for what it was. What next? Will we ask France to apologise for the Battle of Hastings?' The service of commemoration, to take place on the 200th anniversary of Waterloo on June 18, will be the centrepiece of a series of events to mark the battle. Waterloo 200 chairman, Major General Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter, defended the 'no triumphalism' theme. Asked if it looked as though the service was designed to avoid embarrassing the French, he said: 'Some people may read it like that but it's not how we look at it.' He added that the enemy at Waterloo was Napoleon – not France as such. The commemoration was highlighting the effect of the battle on Europe, not the military campaign or the battle itself. 'What Waterloo brought in was an extended period of peace in Europe after a particularly horrible 20 years of war,' Sir Evelyn said. 'The commemoration looks forward to the European harmony that followed it.' Colin Brown, author of Scum Of The Earth, a new book about Waterloo, said Wellington would not have objected to the non-triumphalist tone. He added: 'The Duke strongly believed in the restoration of the status quo after the battle, including the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France.' The commemoration was highlighting the effect of the battle (illustrated) on Europe, organisers said .

Guests attending Battle of Waterloo anniversary service told not to gloat . Invitations to the event said it must not be seen as 'triumphalist' The move was criticised by politicians as 'absurd' political correctness .

Depraved Islamic State militants have deliberately destroyed hundreds of boxes of American-produced Halal chicken despite hundreds of thousands facing starvation in war-torn Syria. The barbaric terror group released photos show crates of chicken being set alight in a field near the city of Aleppo even though the meat being was slaughtered according to Islamic law and was perfectly fit for consumption. The food was burned after the jihadis noticed labels on the boxes that suggested the birds had been reared and slaughtered in the United States - something ISIS considers so beyond the pale that hungry refugees on the brink of starving to death are banned from eating the meat. Waste: The barbaric terror group released photos show crates of chicken being set alight in a field near the city of Aleppo despite the meat being slaughtered according to Islamic law and perfectly fit for eat . Sick: One of the images released by ISIS shows a group of jihadis removing the boxes of chicken from the lorry and hurling them down the steep side of a road . The images of the chicken burning were released by the Islamic State's official propaganda wing in Aleppo province, which the militants refer to by its ancient name, Halab. The photo shows a close up shot of the apparent label, which states the meat had been produced by an Illinois-based company and inspected by the U.S. food standard agency. Certified as Halal, meaning it has been slaughtered in accordance with Islamic Law, it is believed the meat was destined for the thousands of starving refugees in the city of Aleppo. Instead, the two lorries were stopped by ISIS' religious police force - known as Al-Hesbah - at a checkpoint in Aleppo province, where the cargo was deemed unlawful. Product of the USA: This photo shows a close up shot of the apparent label, which states the meat had been produced by an Illinois-based company and inspected by the U.S. food standard agency . Ready to burn: This aerial photo then shows a vast pile of boxes and loose chickens at the bottom of the slope . One of the images released by ISIS shows a group of jihadis removing the boxes of chicken from the lorry and hurling them down the steep side of a road. An aerial photo then shows a vast pile of boxes and loose chickens at the bottom of the slope. The militants then set the meat alight and watch as hundreds of pounds worth of perfectly good food goes up in flames within sight of camps providing a home to thousands of starving refugees. The photographs of the appalling wastage were proudly published on ISIS social media accounts. According to the Syrian American Medical Society, around 650,000 Syrian civilians are living in heavily besieged communities in the country.

Hundreds of boxes of fresh meat was being taken to refugees in Aleppo . But ISIS militants spotted a label claiming the chickens were US-reared . They declared the cargo 'unlawful' and set light to hundreds of the crates . Wastage comes despite up to 650,000 facing starvation in war-torn Syria .

Robert Lewandowski returned to haunt his former club as Bayern Munich earned a narrow victory against Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday. Poland international Lewandowski scored the winner on his first visit back to the club he left on a free transfer last summer as Pep Guardiola's side restored their 10-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga. Lewandowski spent four years at Dortmund, leading them to back-to-back league titles during that period, and offered only a muted celebration when he pounced to give the visitors the lead 10 minutes before half time. Click here to read Nicholas Godden's full match report . Host commentator . League leaders Bayern Munich stretch their lead at the top of the table to 10 points. Former Dortmund man Lewandowski scored the only goal of the match to give his side the win. The home team deserved a point, however Guardiola's side dug deep to hold on and claim yet another vital victory. It seems like Dortmund are going to run out of time to claim an equaliser. They are missing a Lewandowski or Gotze to provide that extra bit of quality in the final third. Dortmund were awarded a free-kick in a fantastic position. Reus tests his international team-mate but Neuer shows his class by stretching down to his right. He has to be the best goalkeeper in the world despite the form of De Gea and Courtois. Klopp has done all he can in terms of substitutions and tactical tweaks. It now rests with the likes of Kagawa and Reus to inspire the home side to at least claim a point. And they would be fully worthy of a point as they have impressed since the interval. Former Dortmund playmaker Gotze replaces Muller in the hole behind Lewandowski while Mkhitaryan comes on for Gundogan as Klopp's side chase an equaliser. Alonso is booked for pulling back Kagawa's shirt. 15 minutes left to play. Talking of players back from injury, Thiago is playing his first match of the season after being ruled out of action with a knee injury since March 2014. Lahm's first start of the season lasts 69 minutes as he is replaced by Thiago. Guardiola will be delighted to have his captain back after his lengthy spell on the sidelines. Kagawa gets his chance to impress as he comes on along with Ramos. Dortmund are starting to apply more pressure on Bayern's defence. The next goal, if there is one, will be crucial. Reus should have finally tested Neuer, who is yet to make a save, however he manages to hit his shot wide of the goal. He literally had a free run at goal and had time to aim his strike. Here's a stat for you - Manuel Neuer is yet to make a save during the first 60 minutes of the match. Schweinsteiger, who was on a yellow card, has been replaced with Rode with just over half an hour to go. Klopp will surely look to freshen up his side during the next 10 minutes. Dortmund have an early penalty shout as Reus is appended by Boateng however the referee waves play on. Reus went down in dramatic fashion which didn't work in his favour. Staff at the Signal Iduna Park had to remove a number of objects off of the field of play before the second half kicked off. The Yellow Wall appeared to chuck bananas at Manuel Neuer. Former Manchester United midfielder Kagawa or Mkhitaryan will surely feature in the second half if Dortmund's current attacking players fail to cancel out Lewandowski's opener. Lewandowski chose not to celebrate on his return to the Signal Iduna Park. What do you think about players who choose to respect their former sides? Have your say below! Owen Hargreaves: 'I thought Dortmund were terrific in the first 20 minutes but then they allowed Alonso to dictate play. It was a bit of a mistake by Hummels as he failed to make a tackle.' Dortmund have come into the game since Lewandowski's goal but they are yet to really trouble Neuer and Bayern's three-man backline. Just one minute left to play of the first half. Lewandowski scores the opener against his former side by nodding home from close range after Muller's shot was saved. The Polish striker chooses not to celebrate after spending four years at Dortmund. Muller and Lewandowski are linking up well but they are missing the pace and creativity of Robben and Ribery. Guardiola will be desperate to have the pair back for their upcoming Champions League ties against Porto. They play in yellow and now another one of their players has earned himself a yellow. Schmelzer becomes the second Dortmund star to be cautioned for a late challenge. Just under 30 minutes gone at the Signal Iduna Park. Aubameyang becomes the second player to go into the book. Both sets of players look fired up while the Signal Iduna Park crowd are jeering Bayern's every touch. Referee Knut Kircher has dipped into his pocket to dish out the first yellow card of the match. The experienced Schweinsteiger will have to be careful in order to avoid seeing red. Reus looks like he is going to cause Bayern Munich problems today. Alonso could have been cautioned for a reckless foul on the Dortmund playmaker as he ran through the middle of the pitch. Klopp certainly thought he deserved a yellow. The Polish striker put the balls into the net against his former side but he is rightly flagged offside by the German officials. Subotic moved up to ensure Lewandowski was unable to put his side in the lead. Remains 0-0. Bayern goalkeeper Neuer loves to have the ball at his feet and you can see his defenders are confident of his ability as they constantly play it back to the German international. Muller, who is playing just behind Lewandowski, tries to lift the ball over Weidenfeller and into Dortmund's goal however his effort goes just wide of the post. Bayern have set up with a three-man defence with Bernat and Rafinha providing the width in the absence of Ribery and Robben. The two sides are currently paying their respect to those who died after the German Wings plane crash. Owen Hargreaves: 'A lot of clubs will be after Hummels in the summer. However I do not think he is the kind of player Manchester United need. They need a powerful defender rather than a ball player.' If the German Clasico doesn't tickle your fancy then you can follow the live action from Chelsea's match against Stoke by joining Dan Ripley HERE. Both Klopp and Guardiola have quality to call on from their respective benches with the likes of Kagawa, Mkhitaryan, Gotze and Thiago among the substitutes. Dortmund subs: Kehl, Kagawa, Mkhitaryan, Ramos, Langerak, Ginter, Dudziak . Bayern Munich subs: Thiago, Pizarro, Guadino, Gotze, Rode, Reina, Weiser . Second-placed Wolfsburg defeated Stuttgart 3-1 earlier today to close the gap on Bayern, however Pep Guardiola's side are still seven points clear at the top. Dortmund, on the other hand, have struggled to replicate the form they had previously shown in the last few seasons. Jurgen Klopp's side are currently languishing in 10th spot. Manchester United fans will be keen to get a closer look at summer target Mats Hummels. The German defender reportedly told former Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson that he would move to Old Trafford if he was to leave Dortmund. Read the full story HERE. Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm makes his first Bundesliga start since returning from an ankle injury to strengthen Pep Guardiola's side. The Spaniard are without the injured Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery for today's match. The teams are in at the Signal Iduna Park where Bayern will be hoping to stretch their seven-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga table by defeating Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern Munich XI vs Dortmund: Neuer; Dante, Boateng, Benatia; Rafinha, Alonso, Bernat, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Muller; Lewandowski .

Pep Guardiola takes his German champions and Bundesliga leaders to Signal Iduna Park for 'Der Klassiker' on Saturday evening hoping to avoid any slip-ups in their quest for another title. Bayern hold a 10-point lead over second-placed Wolfsburg with just eight games to play and will be eager to wrap up their third straight title as soon as possible. Kick off: 5:30pm BST .

The boat that sank in the Mediterranean killing 400 migrants capsized when desperate passengers surged to one side because they thought they were about to be rescued, it emerged yesterday. Survivors said the two-deck vessel ‘flipped’ after a commercial ship was spotted and men on the deck ran to one side, the sudden movement and weight pitching them into the sea. Hundreds of terrified women and children sheltering from the cold in the hull were trapped and died as water surged in and the boat turned upside down. Saved: Dozens of migrants are brought ashore at Corigliano harbor in Italy after they were rescued from a shipwreck which killed 400 others . The trauma of their ordeal is clear to see as the African migrants wait to be assess by medics after disembarking from their coastguard vessel . Survivors told charity workers that as many as 400 others perished and Italian coastguards said today that no more had been found alive . The commercial ship was unaware of the unfolding disaster and went on its journey, leaving men, women and children in the water before an Italian naval vessel arrived at the site some 80 miles south of the island of Lampedusa. Dazed, scared and exhausted survivors, including several children, were taken to Lampedusa and ports in Sicily, Calabria and Tunisia. Two babies on the harbour side were wrapped in blankets – one in a makeshift cot – and carried in the arms of aid workers. As searches continued for survivors yesterday, Federico Fossi, a UN refugee agency spokesman in Italy, said 145 people had been rescued, all from sub-Saharan countries, and nine bodies had been recovered. Joel Millman, from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), said: ‘According to testimonies, at least one-third of the passengers were women and children. At the time of the shipwreck, they were staying in the hull of the boat to be better protected from the cold. ‘When the men on the deck became restless and started moving about because a rescue boat was beginning to approach them, the boat capsized and water flooded the hull. Women and children died immediately.’ The death toll is the largest in the region since October 2013 and came as 42 boats, coming mainly from Libya and North Africa and carrying 5,110 migrants – including 317 unaccompanied children – were rescued in just 48 hours trying to make the hazardous crossing to Europe. Perilous journey: In a tragic twist, the boat appears to have overturned because of the excitement caused by the sighting of rescuers . Lucky few: Coastguard spokesman Filippo Marini said they had not found any more 'survivors or anything else to indicate more victims' Shell-shocked: A man is escorted by an Italian Financial police from the tanker Maria Bottiglieri at the port of Corigliano Calabro . As the survivors were brought ashore, Amnesty International accused the EU for scrapping rescue operations in the Mediterranean . Health checks: Rescued men, women and children are processed after arriving at the southern Italian port of Corigliano in Italy . The disaster has focused attention on the controversial decision to stop Italian naval patrols – which last year rescued 170,000 migrants – and replace them with a smaller European policing and surveillance mission. Yesterday the British-based Save the Children called on the leaders of UK political parties to commit to ‘restart the rescue’ operations. Save the Children chief executive Justin Forsyth said: ‘Our political leaders cannot ignore the fact that without search and rescue we are allowing thousands of innocent children and their families to drown off the coast of Europe. ‘How many thousands must die this summer before Europe acts?’ Recent good weather in the Mediterranean and renewed violence in Libya have prompted a big increase in the numbers trying to reach Italy. Many who make it have told horrific stories of their barbaric exploitation by people smugglers, who they accuse of rape, murder and torture. One 17-year-old Eritrean boy told Save the Children officials: ‘In Libya we only ate once a day. ‘We were continuously beaten up, in some cases with iron bars. I saw people cut off the heads of Christian people.’ Officials say the disaster has taken the number of migrants lost at sea in the area this year to 900, compared with 17 in the same period last year. An increasingly violent and chaotic situation in Libya has added to the problem, with unpoliced ports allowing people smugglers a free hand . Italian Red Cross operators give first aid to immigrants as they arrive in the Italian port of Messina in Sicily. Italian coastguards intercepted 42 boats on April 12 and 13, carrying 6,500 migrants attempting to make the hazardous crossing to Europe . Recent good weather has prompted a spike in the number of migrants attempting to reach Italy, many of them on overcrowded vessels .

Around 150 were brought to Italy after being rescued – but survivors said at least 400 other migrants had died .

Stretching out his arms and looking beseechingly upwards, this is the moment that 16-month-old Noah Ginesi from Penrith in Cumbria reached out for a hug with Prince Charles. The heart-warming moment occurred during a visit to the Rheged Centre in Cumbria, where the Prince of Wales was meeting farmers and charity staff. Charles, who is grandfather to 20-month-old Prince George and has another grandchild on the way, looked delighted and bent down to talk to the little boy who was held by his mother, Genevieve. Scroll down for video . Adorable: One-year-old Noah Ginesi, from Penrith in Cumbria, reaches up for a hug with Prince Charles . The prince was making his first stop on a day-long tour of Cumbria, with rural communities and businesses topping his agenda. Clearly on good form, Charles was visiting the Rheged Centre to inspect a photo exhibition entitled Herdwick: A Portrait of a Lakeland. The work of photographer Ian Lawson, many of the photos feature Herdwick sheep, a breed native to Cumbria and whose name comes from the Old Norse herdvyck - sheep pasture. Charles' visit came as part of his work for the Campaign for Wool and The Prince's Countryside Fund. The former is one of the prince's environmental initiatives and promotes the use of British wool in everything from clothing to furniture. Much obliged: Charles bent down to coo over the infant but didn't pick him up . Jovial: The Prince of Wales was on cheerful form and chatted happily with locals . Warm welcome: Prince Charles, who was wearing a tailored tweed coat, got a warm welcome from locals . It also stages an annual Wool Week which gives a platform to textile producers and farmers, and is enthusiastically endorsed by Charles. The prince's eco credentials have come under scrutiny of late, with the subject believed to be one of those broached in his infamous 'spider letters'. Charles has also been criticised for his use of helicopters, after it emerged on Monday that he had used a chopper for an 80 mile round-trip to Ascot racecourse from Highgrove on Sunday. Getting to that event, The Prince’s Countryside Fund Raceday which included a 'Lamb National' race, used up 200 gallons of fuel and came hot on the heels of a video recorded for Earth Day in which he implored viewers to use less fuel. Today, however, saw him return to travelling by car, with Charles whizzing through an official day of visits and meetings with the Cumbrian farming community. His second stop, which was also in conjunction with The Prince's Countryside Fund, saw him meet members of the Westmorland County Agricultural Society, one of the oldest in the country, and locals working for other country charities. Looking around: Charles was given a tour of the exhibition by photographer Ian Lawson (right) Conservation: The photo exhibition focused on a traditional breed of sheep native to Cumbria . Native: The Herdwick sheep has lived in Cumbria for more than 1,000 years . Passion: The Prince of Wales was there as part of his work for the Campaign for Wool . Among them was the Dry Stone Walling Association, which safeguards the UK's network of historic dry stone walls, and Broadband for the Rural North. Fast internet connection remains a real problem in many rural spots, including those close to London such as parts of Bedfordshire, but is particularly acute in more remote areas. Charles is known to be particularly sympathetic to the cause of high speed rural broadband, in particular because of the limit on job creation that slow internet speeds and dial up connections create. The prince's final stop was at furniture makers Peter Hall & Son where he was introduced to some of the Prince's Trust apprentices who work there. Beautiful:  Along with Herdwick sheep, Lawson's work also features the spectacular Cumbria landscape .

All political leaders feel the need to lay bare the details of their private lives. But Nigel Farage may have taken it too far, with a TV interview in which he discusses his love of skinny-dipping in the icy waters of the English Channel as a boy. The 51-year-old also discussed his battle with testicular cancer, keeping his children out of the public eye and how he plans to go on and on as Ukip leader - until 2030. Scroll down for video . Leaning on a seawall in Deal, Kent, Ukip leader Nigel Farage told ITV's Julie Etchingham about his childhood, family and his plans to go on and on . Mr Farage resisted the temptation to let the ITV cameras into this home, perhaps after Ed Miliband's problems with his second kitchen. Instead he was interview by the Tonight programme's Julie Etchingham on the seafront at Deal, where he grew up. Mr Farage revealed that as a schoolboy he 'always questioned authority' He described his childhood of 'youthful excess' but gave few details. Asked if he had enjoyed some lively nights out in the clubs of the Kent town, he replied: 'Oh gosh, absolutely no comment haha.' Asked if his high jinks included the sea, he confess: 'Well I did a bit of skinny dipping and a few things like that in the middle of the night, yes. 'Youthful excess. It got very cold, erm. It does need some parameters and some boundaries; I probably had fewer than most.' As a boy he enjoyed more 'freedom' than children today. 'Kids were allowed out you know with sandwiches and a bottle of water and a bike and off you went and did things for the day.' He would go out and collect things, including 'pot lids and bottles and old clay pipes and all sorts of things'. He admitted: 'As I got older and into my teens I got more and more difficult. I always questioned authority. I guess a bit of a wind up merchant really.' This schoolboy trait has now become part of his political persona. 'Well, being in the European Parliament was an extension of being in school and questioning authority, yes. Look you know to have a healthy vibrant democracy you need people that question authority.' In the programme, to be broadcast tonight, Mr Farage also discussed the impact of his father leaving home when he was just five. 'Well these things happen, he got over it and made a success of his life. We had some problems when I was a kid but not that bad,' he said. Mr Farage resisted the temptation to let the ITV cameras into this home, perhaps after Ed Miliband's problems with his second kitchen . He reflected on his own mortality when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in his early twenties. 'I was very emotional about it. Well my memory is that I was 21 years old and I had testicular cancer and one of my thoughts through that period was that perhaps I won’t be able to have children, then having children, first child was a very big moment. I was very emotional about it. 'I’ve been very lucky. I've got four - two boys, two girls, they're fit and healthy. You're not going to see pictures because I’m keeping them out of the public view. But they are all doing well in life and I am pleased about that.' He discussed how he says prayers 'sometimes', most recently for his family after they became trapped in a pub surrounded by a gang of protesters. 'The only prayers I would ever say actually would be which after last Sunday (when his family were scared by protesters during a Sunday lunch) perhaps is more appropriate you know would be for my family, to be well and to be happy and be strong and I do sometimes think that what I am doing is making their lives a bit difficult.' As a hobby, Mr Farage would go out and collect things, including 'pot lids and bottles and old clay pipes and all sorts of things' He said that being Ukip leader did not necessarily prepare him for the level of interest, and opposition in recent months. 'Well you see if I got into the Conservative Party, one of the big parties and became an MP and was on a career path, perhaps you could have anticipated longer term what some of the costs might have been, because this was you know a little rabble army that suddenly became quite a big political party, so it's, some of it has come as a bit of a surprise yeah.' But he insisted he has no plans to quit, despite suggesting in earlier interviews that he would stand down if he does not win the target seat of Thanet South on May 7. 'I have decided I will stand down before the 2030 general election,' he said with a laugh. 'I have barely started.'

A New Zealand hunter is lucky to be alive after a friend mistook him for a deer and shot him in the back with a .270 rifle. Max Verschuuren, 21, was bent over emptying rocks out of his boot on his way to a felled deer in the Te Urewera forest, North Island, on Saturday night when his mate blasted his back open. 'All of a sudden I heard this whack and the sound of a gun shot,' Mr Verschuuren told Daily Mail Australia. Grisly photographs snapped in hospital show the gaping, bloody wound it left.

Liverpool supporters will stage a protest on Tuesday night against the mounting costs of tickets in the Barclays Premier League. The die-hard contingent of fans who travel the length and breadth of the country to watch Brendan Rodgers' side are staying away from The KC Stadium after Hull City charged Liverpool fans £50 for their sets. Last season, the same seats were sold for £35. That price has caused outrage, given that Stoke fans were charged £16 for tickets when they went to Hull in August and Evertonians were charged £35 for seats at The KC Stadium in December. Liverpool fans (seen here at Arsenal) are unhappy at being charge £50 to go to Hull . Liverpool fans are planning a protest a the Hull game over the rising cost of tickets . To put the price of seats at the KC stadium into context, tickets for the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley were available for £33. Liverpool fans have been amongst the most vociferous railing at the spiralling costs and have regularly held up banners at stadiums saying they are 'against modern football'. A statement on the Spirit of Shankly fans' website said: 'We would encourage fans to join us on that night to tell the money men of the Premier League cartel that they cannot continue to charge exorbitant prices, whilst making obscene amounts of money. 'This wealth should be shared and passed back to the lifeblood of the game, the supporters… We will no longer accept these prices when there is more money in the sport than ever before.' Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said at his press conference on Monday: 'I have been made aware of the issue. Fans work hard to get money so they can attend these games. I respect the supporters' right to protest.' Hull boss Steve Bruce has also called for Barclays Premier League officials to act to curb rising ticket prices after admitting he felt sorry for football fans. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says he respects the supporters' right to protest . Bruce said: 'I feel sorry for the supporters of big clubs who have to dig deep every week and I hope when the new TV money comes into play the Premier League can remember football does belong to supporters. 'I know how difficult it is for people here at our club to find the money to bring their two kids to a football match and we have to make sure with all the money washing around we give something back to the fans. 'We have to remember the average man in the street because they are the lifeblood of football and I think if the Premier League set certain rules we would all have to abide by them.'

It is a skill employed by stand-up comedians, politicians and market traders alike – an effortless way with words that can persuade, cajole and tease. Now scientists believe they have found evidence of what may lie behind 'the gift of the gab'. Brain scans on a group of professional comedians has revealed differences in the way the brains of these 'super speakers' work while talking. The ultimate wheeler dealer, Del Boy's gift of the gab came from a difference in the way his brain worked . Compared to the less silver tongued among us, the super speakers – which also included a barrister and a radio presenter – showed less activity in a key area of the brain involved articulating and comprehending speech. This suggests that this group were putting less effort into the basic mechanics of speech, allowing them to devote more resources to what they were going to say next. Sarcasm is often described as the lowest form of wit, but it seems you need the right kind of wits in the first place to be able to recognise it. Neuroscientists have identified the area of the brain that is the key to picking up on when someone is being sarcastic. They found that people with damage to the right sagittal stratum - a bundle of white matter that lies between the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures in the brain - are unable to detect sarcasm. Stroke survivors often suffer damage to this area of their brain and struggle to recognise when family and friends are being sarcastic. Dr Joe Devlin, a neuroscientist at University College London, told the Guardian: 'The fact that they show less activity there reflects the fact that they simply find speech less effortful and I suspect part of that has to do with practice. ' The findings may also help to explain why some people dry up completely when asked to speak. Dr Devlin and his colleagues used magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brains of 17 professional comedians, a radio presenter and barrister. They were asked to lie in the scanner while talking for 30 seconds on random topics without hesitation, deviation or repetition – a task based on the BBC 4 panel show Just a Minute. Among the comedians taking part were Robin Ince, who presents a show with physicist Brian Cox, Richard Herring and Helen Keen. They were compared against a control group of students, who, according to Dr Devlin, were far less adept at the task. Super speakers were found to have less activity in Broca's region of the brain, shown in the image above . Dr Devlin said: 'One of the participants was given "Scotland" and just said "I've never been there", and that was basically it. 'We asked them to speak about "a perfect cup of tea", topics that should've been easy for everyone. 'A lot of our interest in speaking in fluency has been about things that go wrong, such as stutters. There's been almost no interest in how speech goes right.' The study revealed that the same areas of the brain were activated when both the comedians and the students were speaking. Market traders are known for their ability to sell almost anything to anyone due to their talent for speaking . However, the comedians and other super speakers showed lower levels of activity in an area of the brain known as Broca's region. Perhaps surprisingly, some studies have shown that Broca's region is also underactive in people who stutter. Writing on his blog about being involved in the research, comedian Richard Herring said: ' I was secretly hoping they would discover that my grey matter was special in some way or had some additional little bend or section which enabled me to be so very funny. 'The testers did say that the control group of non-professional speakers found the idea of talking on a surprise subject very difficult.'

Scientists at University College London took MRI scans of comedians, barristers and radio hosts while they talked non stop for 30 seconds . They had lower activity in key language centre of the brain than students . It suggests 'super speakers' require less effort to talk than other people .

Brendan Rodgers is considering recalling £20million misfit defender Dejan Lovren at Blackburn in the FA Cup on Wednesday to help save Liverpool’s season. The trip to Ewood Park for a quarter-final replay has even more significance as in comes in the wake of successive morale-sapping Premier League defeats by Manchester United and Arsenal. Saturday’s 4-1 loss at the Emirates was marked by the kind of shaky defending that blighted Liverpool’s early-season play. Brendan Rodgers is ready to recall his out-of-favour defender Dejan Lovren for the FA Cup quarter-final . Lovren has been out of the Liverpool team recently, but could return against Blackburn on Wednesday . Now — with Emre Can and Martin Skrtel both suspended — Rodgers is set to bring in Lovren after opting for veteran Kolo Toure ahead of him at the weekend. ‘Kolo gives everything every single day so I knew what I would get with him at Arsenal,” said Rodgers. ‘Dejan was out over the international break but he is looking strong. He will be in contention.’ Lovren has made only 16 league starts since he was signed last summer from Southampton but the Croatian may have to step up as Rodgers sticks with the three-man defensive system that helped turn around Liverpool’s season in December. Kolo Toure was given a torrid time by Arsenal as he reutrned in the place of suspended Martin Skrtel . Rodgers says he knows what to expect from Toure, but could turn to Lovren for the must-win game . Liverpool were thrashed 4-1 by Arsenal, and now the FA Cup represents their last chance for a good season .

Real Sociedad remain hopeful over a deal for Burnley striker Danny Ings. Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United have all shown interest in the England Under 21 international but have yet to sign him up as they consider other options also. Ings has interest from Borussia Monchengladbach among others but Sociedad have remained constant from the start. Real Sociedad are still hopeful of singing Burnley striker Danny Ings when his contract expires in the summer . Michel Vorm saves from Ings as the Burnley forward passes up a great chance to give his side the lead against Tottenham on Sunday . England Under 21 international Ings chats with Harry Kane after the final whistle at Turf Moor . The 23-year-old knows he can play regularly there, will be watched with interest by England coach Roy Hodgson and will get the money he wants. Sociedad manager David Moyes has taken the club into the top half of La Liga and intends to build on that in the summer and Ings could prove a key acquisition. Ings' contract at Burnley expires in the summer and is unlikely to sign another one regardless of their ability to survive relegation this season. Should Ings move to another Premier League club Burnley would be due a sizeable compensation fee because of his age, but that fee would be nominal if the striker moved abroad.

Who can resist Boden’s bright knits and floral prints? I most certainly can’t writes Clare Goldwin. Well, not when it comes to my seven-year-old, Ella, anyway. For years, I’ve happily forked out on pricey but irresistibly cute items for her from Mini Boden. But when it comes to buying clothes from Boden for myself, I’ve always steered clear. Their traditional and instantly recognisable staples of cotton shifts and ‘mumsy’ jersey dresses, not to mention ‘jaunty’ prints in eye-catching colours, have always been a big no-no for me. Clare Goldwin (pictured) admits that she will sometimes fork out for Boden's brightly printed clothes for her daughter but not herself as she doesn't want to be labelled a Boden 'yummy mummy' Who wants to be labelled a Boden ‘yummy mummy’ at 50 paces, and bump into countless other mothers in identical uniforms on the school-run? For many years, Boden — which launched in 1991 — made a success of its appeal to the ‘Sloane’ market. But recently, the company has experienced more challenging times. Profits plummeted 42 per cent in 2011 and, while they rose again in 2012, they remained flat for 2013. Now, however, Boden seems to have finally cracked it, and the fashion world is raving about their latest collections. Glossy magazines have praised their spring/summer shoe range for its nods to designer brands. And they’ve even seduced the notoriously difficult U.S. market, where sales are soaring. Experts are putting the success down to the use of luxury fabrics, with more cashmere and silk mixes, plus more limited-edition pieces — so there’s less chance of bumping into someone wearing the same outfit. They’re also attracting customers by toning down their colour palette, so the look is not so ‘sweet shop’, and making many of the prints more sophisticated and subtle. So, can this latest collection keep its core, middle-class customers happy, while appealing to the more fashionable woman? With the mid-season sale now on, I tried a selection of their latest outfits to see whether this Boden sceptic could be persuaded . . . TOP TROUSERS . Colour-block coat, WAS £179, NOW £107.40; jumper, WAS £89, NOW £53.40; trousers, WERE £69, NOW £48.30; suede-heeled sandals, £119 (all boden.co.uk) I usually avoid Boden, fearing it will make me look frumpy. And on the hanger, these trousers look like a case in point — with their elasticated waist, they look like shapeless tracksuit bottoms. Once on, though, they’re bang on trend, with slim legs tapering to an elasticated cuff. I’d even wear them for an evening out — though perhaps in a plain colour. The jumper has three-quarter sleeves and cute French-knot decorations like little flowers. Meanwhile, the two-tone coat has been carefully considered, down to contrast stitching in the lining. The darker blocks are slimming, too, though the green is a bit insipid for my taste. 3/5 . FAB... IF I WAS 20! Dress, WAS £199, NOW £119.40; mules, WERE £119, NOW £89.25 . At first glance, this dress looks like classic ‘yummy mummy’ Boden. And it does me no favours — making me look mumsy, busty and frumpy. That’s not because the dress is dowdy, but because it’s too fashion-forward — and I’m too old to be wearing it. With its A-line Sixties silhouette and alarmingly thigh-skimming length, this is the sort of frock that might be found in Topshop. It would look fantastic on a lithe 20-year-old or someone more flat-chested. Sadly, it doesn’t flatter this 42-year-old mother-of-two. It’s hard to work out if this is a miss by Boden, or the company taking aim at a younger crowd. The mules are very on-trend, though, and, with their teetering heel, far from the sensible-heeled shoes I associate with Boden. 2/5 . PERKY PRINT . Geometric print dress, WAS £99, NOW £69.30; suede T-bar heels with green tassels, £119 . This purple and tangerine geometric shift is a world away from Boden’s usual floral prints. It would work well on bustier women, as the smaller pattern on the upper half helps minimise larger breasts, while the plain band accentuates the waist. The length is just above the knee, so it’s not too daring for those over 40 — though I wouldn’t want it any shorter. Meanwhile, the shoes are fab. The T-bar heels are right on trend and come with a twist: contrasting purple toes and quirky green tassel detail. Usually, ankle straps make legs look shorter by cutting them off — but here, the strap sits lower down the foot, lengthening and flattering the legs. 3/5 . FIFTIES WONDER . Floral dress, WAS £139, NOW £97.30; mules, WERE £119, NOW £89.25 . On first sight, this look screams old-style Boden — a cotton shift dress in a flower print. But, unlike the shapeless floral shifts of old, this one is cut in a very fashionable Fifties shape, with a square neckline and tulip skirt. The viscose/cotton fabric has a sheen to it, which gives a luxurious feel, and the flowers are big and bold — almost abstract — with flashes of lime that stop it all from looking too girly. It’s chintzy, but in a good way. This is also a slightly longer, more flattering, length and would be great for a wedding or summer party. The mules — this time in lime — are the perfect finishing touch. 5/5 . SLIMMING SKIRT . Cashmere jumper, WAS £99, NOW £49.50; print pencil skirt, WAS £89, NOW £62.30; suede-heeled sandals, WERE £119, NOW £95.20 . I would never have guessed this pink and green, diamond-print, cotton pencil skirt was from Boden. It’s a more eye-catching look than I’m used to wearing, and I’d usually shy away from crew-neck jumpers, too, as I think the high neckline accentuates my broad shoulders. But once on, the warm, pink sweater suits my pale colouring and the effect of the skirt is eye-catching, sharp and very slimming. The length is on the knee for me — but I’m 5 ft 10 in, so for most women, this would come in just below the knee. With 3 per cent elastane, there’s also a little forgiving stretch. I pair it with the suede sandals, this time in pink. Still love them. This look is a surprise hit. 4/5 . FLOATY DREAM . Cream silk shirt, £99; floral skirt, £99; sandals, as before . Oooh, this silk shirt and full skirt combination looks like the sort of outfit I remember my mum wearing in the Eighties. But will I look like a mumsy frump? While the skirt is in a traditional floral print, it’s not made from plain cotton, as you might expect from Boden, but has a gorgeous organza silk overlay, so it’s floaty and delicate. While the full skirt style isn’t very slimming, it’s a Fifties shape that’s right on trend and swishes nicely. The blouse is very similar to those made by chic French brand Equipment, even down to the breast pocket detail. Except there, blouses will set you back over £200, while this is half that. Again, I love the shoes. These suede sandals are simple, elegant and very comfortable. 3/5 . EIGHTIES HORROR . Blouse, WAS £69, NOW £48.30; skinny pants, £49; pointed slingback flats, £79; leather bag, WAS £110, NOW £82.50 . This is my least favourite look. The floaty, geometric top has a very Orla Kiely-esque print, but I think it makes me look dowdy. Meanwhile, the stretchy, navy pants give me nasty flashbacks to the leggings I used to wear as a teenager in the Eighties, and they make my legs look stumpy and lumpy. However, the slingback flats in a pretty aqua are very fashion-forward — designers ranging from Jimmy Choo to Antonio Berardi have brought out pointed, flat slingbacks this season. And the aqua bag is very ladylike. 2/5 . So, am i convinced? Ok, there’s a lot that will keep faithful Boden fans happy, but I’ve been reassured there are enough new pieces to make even sceptics like me look past its mumsy bright prints. In particular I love the shoes. They’ve definitely persuaded me to put in an order.

Philip Garrod, 43, was caught by a speed camera doing 105mph on his powerful Suzuki motorbike . A lying paramedic was struck off for faking a 999 emergency call-out to try and get off a driving ban after being caught speeding at 105mph on his motorbike. Philip Garrod, 43, was on his way to start a shift with the Welsh Ambulance Service when he was caught by a police camera doing the the eye-watering speed in a 60mph zone on his powerful Suzuki motorbike. He pleaded guilty and was fined £650 with six points for speeding but then began weaving a web of lies after asking the judge to consider special circumstances to try and avoid a driving ban. At Dolgellau Magistrates Court, Garrod had claimed he was rushing to work after a colleague had contacted him before he set off and told him that a cyclist was injured on the A470 at Dolgellau in north Wales. But the judge ordered an adjournment to take various witness statements before making a decision on his driving ban. That's when bosses began their own investigations and discovered the extent of Garrod's lies and opened a special misconduct hearing. Yesterday, the disciplinary hearing was told Garrod filled in a 'patient clinical record' for the bogus call to back up his false story. Garrod - a paramedic for ten years - was caught out when ambulance chiefs checked to find no record of the 999 call on the day of his speeding ticket. The panel heard the ambulance trust had no records of any 999 alert on the A470 at Dolgellau, North Wales, on 25 April 2011 - the day he was caught speeding. A report from the Health and Care Professionals Council said: 'The conduct was deliberate and was designed to mitigate the fact that he had been caught speeding. 'His actions were pre-meditated as he went as far as falsifying documentation to support his story. 'This would be deemed to be dishonest by the ordinary standards of reasonable and honest people.' Garrod claimed he was rushing to work after a colleague had contacted him before he set off and told him that a cyclist was injured on the A470 at Dolgellau but was caught out when bosses checked 999 records . Father-of-two Garrod did not attend the disciplinary hearing in Cardiff but said in writing he had 'confused the dates'. Garrod denied five allegations relating to providing false statements, creating a false patient clinic record and dishonesty. But he was struck off after being found guilty of misconduct. The disciplinary hearing ruled: 'Such conduct by a health professional falls well below the standards expected of a registered health professional and consequently amounts to misconduct.'

They have become one of the most irritating accessories carried by tourists in recent years, but it appears the selfie stick has been a nuisance for three decades. Hiroshi Ueda, a photographer who worked as an engineer for camera company Minolta, claims that he first invented the selfie stick in the 1980s. He said he came up with the idea after struggling to get pictures of himself and his wife together while they were in Europe. Scroll down for video . Hiroshi Ueda, holding his extender stick for taking 'selfies' which he patented in 1983 while working for Minolta . After having his camera stolen by a child he asked to take their picture in the Louvre Museum in Paris, he dreamed up a solution - an extendable stick with a tripod screw at the end. The 'extender stick', as he called it, was designed for use with new compact cameras that were being developed at the time. Whether taking in a spectacular panorama, visiting a famous landmark or watching a concert; the chances are your view has been ruined by a selfie stick on at least one occasion. Now the situation may be about to get a whole lot worse, because there’s a next-generation stick that can grasp a tablet as well as a mobile phone. The contraption lets selfie addicts take photos of themselves using their iPad, ensuring they can capture the best possible duck pout or cheesy grin in their shots. The supersized stick is available on the website Accessory Geeks for just $23 (£16), suggesting that they could be coming to a street near you soon. He added a mirror to the front of the camera so that photographers could see exactly what they were doing. Despite being patented in 1983, the extender stick failed to become a success - mainly due to the poor image quality it captured. But that did not stop Mr Ueda from compiling a family album of family 'selfies' using his device. Speaking to the BBC, he said: 'The idea of taking a picture of yourself was very new back then. 'The philosophy behind it was that I didn't need to rely on anyone else to take a photo - I could take a picture of myself whenever and wherever I liked.' Some 30 years later selfie sticks are now hugely popular - used by narcissists and celebrities everywhere to capture images of themselves in their surroundings. They have become such a menace that many tourist venues, museums, concert venues and stadiums have banned them. Perhaps ironically, Apple - the company that could be blamed for kickstarting the selfie phenomenon by putting a camera on the front of its phones in the first place - has also banned them from its next conference. Mr Ueda used his 'extender stick' to take pictures of himself with his family while on holiday in Europe (above) Modern versions of the extender stick allow a smartphone to be held aloft and use a remote trigger to take the photograph or video. Mr Ueda's patent ran out in 2003, however, so he has not benefited from the recent boom. Instead Canadian inventor Wayne Fromm developed a hand-held extendable selfie stick in the early 2000s, which he called the Quik Pod. While his product has sold well, there are many others available. Mr Ueda said: 'My idea came too early, but that's just one of those things. 'I patented about 300 ideas, so that was just one of them. We call it a 3am invention - it arrived too early.' The idea of selfies, however, is not new. Remote timers and triggers have been available on cameras for decades. A recently unearthed photograph also showed that some early photographers adopted unusual methods to take their own photo - such as using a broom handle to hit the trigger on their camera. Michael Pritchard, Director-General of The Royal Photographic Society, said there is evidence of selfies going back as far as the 1840s. Selfie sticks divide opinion - some people love them and others hate them. But a growing number of venues and attractions have deemed them such a nuisance that they are banning their use. Last month the National Gallery in London became the latest major museum to instruct visitors that the devices were not welcome. It follows bans in galleries in France and America – including the Palace of Versailles and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Organisers of two major US festivals have also made clear what they think of selfie sticks. The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Lollapalooza are the latest in a string of concert venues and historic landmarks to ban the use of the controversial tech gadgets on their grounds. According to NME , London's O2 Arena and Wembley Arena have also prohibited them, while Rome's Colosseum also do not permit the use of the gadgets.

Southampton are the club punching heaviest above their weight in the Premier League in terms of performance compared with wages paid to players while Chelsea are also over-achieving, latest figures have revealed. Saints are only ranked 16th in the top flight in terms of their wage bill - £55.2million - and yet are currently seventh in the Premier League. Chelsea are 10 points clear at the top of the table but are only the third-highest payers with a wage bill of £192.7million behind Manchester United (£215.8m) and Manchester City (£205m). Bottom-club Burnley's wage bill is just £21.5m including £6m in promotion bonuses, one-tenth the size of United's. Despite being seventh in the league, Southampton have the fourth lowest wage bill based on last season . Third-placed Manchester United have have the highest wage bill at £215.8m, based on last season's figures . Chelsea are 10 points clear at the top of the table but are only the third-highest wage payers with £192.7m . Chris Ramsey's QPR side salary bill was almost twice what the club earned in total last season . The biggest under-achievers are QPR, with a £75.3million wage bill even from a season when they were in the Championship making them the eighth-highest payers - yet they are down at 19th in the Premier League table. QPR's salary bill was almost twice what the club earned in total last season. The wages costs and profits or losses of all top-flight clubs for 2013-14 have now been confirmed via annual accounts posted at Companies House and overall there is a close correlation between total salary bill and league position, with the current top four in the Premier League also the four biggest payers. How the Premier League table currently stands . The combined accounts of the 20 clubs shows over overall turnover rose to £3.07billion from £2.3billion in 2012/13 with wages increasing too but at a slower rate and totalling £1.84billion compared with £1.59billion. The latest figure shows salaries account for 59.9 per cent of turnover compared with 71.7 per cent for the same 20 clubs a year before. The increase in income is mainly down to the Premier League's lucrative television deal that came into effect for the first time last season. The cash injection has led to six clubs who were in the red in 2012/13 now being in the black. Apart from those clubs who were promoted from the Championship last season, only Manchester City, Aston Villa and Sunderland ended the 2013/14 season having made a financial loss. Premier League director of communications Dan Johnson said the clubs' decision two years ago to introduce spending controls had also contributed to a positive financial outlook . Johnson said: 'There are two reasons for this. The first is increasing revenues and the second is the financial criteria the clubs have voted in two seasons ago which put financial sustainability at the heart of how they want to go forward.' The measures introduced by the clubs capped the amount they could use television money to pay for player costs. It also put a long-term limit on a club's overall losses. The figures also show Sunderland are the ninth-highest payers but are 16th in the table. Burnley have the lowest wage bill with £21.5m based on the financial figures from last season .

A greedy mother who told a 13-year-old volunteer to 'f*** off' was evicted from a family Easter egg hunt after she took more than her fair share of chocolate treats. The woman in her mid- to late 30s, who is believed to have had two or three children participating, was at Melbourne’s Greatest Ever Easter Egg Hunt, which was run by Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation at Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday. She was escorted out of the racecourse, in Melbourne's south-east, when she became 'irate' after a young volunteer at the hunt asked her to stop taking so many Easter eggs. Scroll down for video . A greedy mother at a charity Easter egg hunt was booted out of the event after she swore at volunteers . Event organiser Allan Turner said gluttonous parents were a major problem at the event who took in additional bags and even prams to fill up with chocolate. The aim of the hunt is to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation, while raising money for Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation. More than 2,500 chocolate lovers paid $5 to fill up their bucket with as many eggs as they could fit on Saturday. 'This is the fourth year we've done the event and we have problems with parents sneaking in shopping bags and filling them up to the top,' Mr Turner told Daily Mail Australia. She was told by a 13-year-old volunteer she was taking too many eggs and she told the young person to 'f*** off' The woman kept denying she was smuggling eggs into additional plastic bags she had brought in . 'Parents are the toughest ones to control. You expect the kids to go frantic and shove eggs into their pockets and shirts and pants. But when parents go past this level of gluttony, it’s not a good look.' Mr Turner said they had to create a pram parking area outside the hunting spot to stop adults from smuggling eggs out by hiding them inside baby carriages. But he said this was the first year he had security guards escort a parent off site because they were taking too many of the 250,000 eggs donated by Hillier's Chocolates. He said one of volunteers approached him on the day and told him a woman was throwing obscenities at her when they asked her to stop stuffing multiple bags full with treats. '[The woman] was saying "I've not done it"... [but] she had definitely filled up a number of bags to the hilt, more than people paying $5 a bucket,' Mr Turner said. 'She got irate and started carrying on and started having a go at my young volunteer who was only 13 years old. 'She was using the f-word, saying "You can't stop from f***ing doing this and f*** off".' It was not the first time parents took more than their fair share - which is a $5 bucket full - but this is the first time organisers have had to kick someone out . The egg hunt looks to raise money for Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation, which helps bring awareness of tissue and organ donation to the forefront . It was started by Zaidee Turner's father, Allan, who wanted to honour his seven-year-old daughter who was an organ donor when she died . Mr Turner said it was a shame this woman had acted in this way as she was at a family event, which he had started in the honour of his daughter, Zaidee, who died of a brain anuerysm when she seven years old. He said Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation tried to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation. At the time of her death, Mr Turner said Zaidee was one of the youngest people in Victoria to be on the donor list, saving the lives of up to seven people. Zaidee (not pictured) died of a brain aneurysm in 2004 and she has been remembered through the hunt . Mr Turner said parents were often the most difficult to control at these hunts as they were scrambling to get as many eggs as possible . Organisers have had to stop parents bringing prams because they were using them to smuggle out eggs . 'We try to [do events] left of field for organ and tissue donation,' he said. 'We've had jockey breeches with rainbow stripes on the side, we've done that for a number of years where [jockeys] wear them at race events and we came up with the idea of Melbourne's Greatest Easter Egg Hunt. 'It's Melbourne’s biggest Easter egg hunt and it raises much needed funds in an area where there are benefits for young and old.'

She told the 13-year-old to 'f*** off' and continued to deny she was doing it . But she became so rowdy security guards had to throw her out of the hunt .

(CNN)For five decades, Bikram Choudhury built an empire. The signature "hot yoga" bearing his name drew throngs of devotees, spawning studios teaching the practice all over the world. He became a spiritual leader and celebrity icon with a long list of famous followers and friends. But now, the Bikram brand is in jeopardy, with some yoga studios dropping his name after the guru was accused of rape or sexual assault by six of his former students. Responding to the allegations for the first time in an exclusive interview with CNN, Choudhury said he wanted to set the record straight. "I want to show you," he said, "tell the truth to the world, that I never assaulted them." Choudhury repeatedly denied sexually assaulting anyone, saying he would never resort to physical aggression to have sex because he has so many offers. "Women like me. Women love me," he said. "So if I really wanted to involve the women, I don't have to assault the women." He said he feels sorry for his accusers, claiming they've been manipulated by lawyers to lie. "I have nothing against them. I don't think they're bad people. It's not them saying that," he said. "They are influenced by somebody." But Choudhury's accusers say he's the one who's been lying. "This stuff that he's teaching is really good stuff, but he's hurting people and hiding behind this good stuff so people don't believe he's capable of hurting people," said Sarah Baughn, a former student who now accuses Choudhury of sexual assault. "He's got to stop lying behind it. And he's got to stop doing this to people." Choudhury is the founder of Bikram's Yoga College of India. He's featured prominently on its website, which details his system of performing 26 unique yoga poses while in a very hot room. With studios heated to 105 degrees, he credits the steamy, sweaty stretches with transforming people's bodies and minds. He said he's guided by a deep calling to help others. Civil lawsuits filed in Los Angeles Superior Court tell the story of a different Bikram Choudhury, describing him as someone who preyed on young women who looked to him for guidance. Besides Baughn's claim of sexual assault, five other women have come forward with civil lawsuits claiming Choudhury raped them. The Los Angeles Police Department, without explanation, declined to pursue criminal charges in the cases. At first, Baughn said, she felt Bikram Yoga would be the answer to her years of back pain and depression. "It was really quite life-changing for me. ... I felt good for the first time in a while," she said, describing her first class. Baughn said her father helped her take out a $7,000 loan so she could attend Bikram's teacher training. But within the first week, she said, one episode left her feeling uncomfortable. In a meeting in Choudhury's office, she said, the guru seemed to make an advance. "He said, 'What should we do about us? We need to make this a relationship. ... I've known you from a past life.' It was instantly shocking. I felt like my whole system just sort of imploded," she said. Then, she said, Choudhury cornered her late one night, making it clear she had to sleep with him in order to advance her career. "He crawled on top of me and he put his hand on my, inside of my thigh, and the other hand he wrapped around me, and he was holding me there," she said. "He told me that he needed somebody to be with him, to massage him, to brush his hair, to spend time with him, that he was lonely. And he said, 'And I need someone to, to have sex with me.'" Choudhury, she said, claimed she'd never win a yoga competition if he didn't have sex with her. "I pushed him off of me and I said, 'I can do this by myself.' And he said, 'No you can't. There's no way.' And I got up and I left the room," she said. In another instance, she said Choudhury pinned her against a door and sexually assaulted her when she was left alone with him late one night at a teacher training course. "I just remember I was terrified. I didn't want to be touched again. When I reached the door, he was there," she said. "He was only in his boxers and a T-shirt. And he pushed himself up against me and held me up against the door," she said. "And he just started kissing all over my chest and my body. And he pushed himself into me very hard." Ultimately, Baughn said she was able to open the door and get away. Choudhury said Baughn's claims are false. "It's not truth. I don't do that. I don't have to," he said. He said he makes it a practice to never be alone with any of his students. He repeatedly denied assaulting his accusers or ever having consensual sex with them. But when asked whether he'd had sex with other students, he responded, "yes and no." "I have no intention to have sex with any of my students or any women," said Choudhury, who said he's been married to his wife for more than 30 years. "Sometimes students, they commit suicide. Lots of students of mine, they commit suicide because I will not have sex with them." Bikram claimed these encounters took place before he was married. But when asked for evidence, Bikram's attorney advised him not to give CNN names. Robert Tafoya, Choudhury's attorney, said there are plenty of reasons to doubt the accusers' claims. "We know for a fact that these claims allegedly occurred years and years and years ago, and nobody ever came forward," he said. "And yet, after this lawyer sends out these kinds of blasts in social media asking people if they've been a victim of Bikram Choudhury, all of a sudden these people come forward and all have very similar claims." Carney Shegerian, Baughn's attorney, said that's simply not true. When Baughn started telling her story, he said, others were inspired to speak out. "When she came forward and went public, it attracted other people, and the other five plaintiffs to also have a modicum of confidence to discuss what had happened to them," he said. Baughn said she was inspired by her young daughter to come forward when she did. "She's 5 now, 5½. But when I looked at my little girl and all I could see was 10 years down the road, or 20 years down the road, and her being just like me, the only thing I could see was her getting raped and assaulted," she said. Choudhury vowed to clear his name. But he said the damage has already been done to his family. He cries as he describes how his wife has responded to the allegations against him. "My wife never look at me anymore," he said. "My children, my wife ... we only die once in our life. I'm dying every day when I get up in the morning." The situation, he said, has destroyed his family. "How can I share my heart, my spirit? Twenty-four hours a day, I work harder than any other human being. And this is the reward? I'm a rapist?" he said. "Shame on your culture, Western culture. Shame, shame. Your job (is) to go and tell the world the truth." CNN's Catherine E. Shoichet, Dana Ford and Mayra Cuevas contributed to this report.

Eight deputies were filmed beating and kicking an alleged horse thief for two minutes as he lay dormant in the southern California desert. An NBC helicopter was following the San Bernardino County officers as they pursued a 30-year-old man, Francis Pusok, who was believed to have stolen horse on Thursday afternoon. The footage shows two deputies catch up with Pusok on foot after he falls off the horse, and they stun him with a Taser. He falls to the ground before standing up and trying to flee. They stun him again, and again, before launching over to kick him between the legs. Attack: Two deputies were captured on film kicking Francis Pusok, an alleged horse thief, in the groin . Escalated: By the end of the two minutes, there were eight deputies surrounding and beating Pusok's body . As he lies splayed face-down on the ground, they continue to beat him with their fists and stun guns. Thirty seconds in, another deputy runs to join, followed quickly by three more. Huddled in a pack over the man they each continue to pummel their fists into his back and head, some standing to kick. Meanwhile, another stands calmly holding the horse by the saddle. Chase: He had been seen riding the horse through the desert of San Bernardino on Thursday afternoon . Apprehended: An NBC film crew helicopter captured the moment he was stunned with a Taser .

The title race appears to be over, but what about the fight to stay in the Premier League? No one is dead and buried and even Sunderland in 15th are a bad weekend away from falling into the relegation zone. It’s extremely close with the delightful benefit that there will be five key fixtures between sides in the bottom six. Have Hull got enough breathing room to survive what looks like the hardest run-in? Are Leicester too far back? Burnley have been dealt a reasonable hand but can they capitalise? Have QPR improved enough away from home to take any confidence to Leicester on the final day? Sportsmail considers the possibilities and delivers a verdict. Sunderland . Position: 15th on 29 points . Jermain Defoe (centre) reinvigorated Sunderland with a stunning strike to beat rivals Newcastle 1-0 . Dick Advocaat is overseeing Sunderland's survival bid as manager until the end of the season . Seven points split Sunderland in 15th and Leicester in 20th as the battle for Premier League survival heats up . Predicted results: Five points from seven games . Crystal Palace (H) -D . Stoke (A) - D . Southampton (H) - L . Everton (A) - L . Leicester (H) - W . Arsenal (A) - L . Chelsea (A) L . Predicted total: 34 points . Verdict: Safe . Their derby win will have done them the world of good, as will the relative comfort of facing three teams in Palace, Stoke and Everton who have very little to play for. They need to make the most of those initial fixtures because it’s highly unlikely that they will get anything out of closing trips to Arsenal and Chelsea. Aston Villa . Position: 16th on 29 points . Christian Benteke scored a hat-trick as Aston Villa drew 3-3 against Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday . Tim Sherwood has helped Villa rediscover their scoring touch since replacing Paul Lambert as manager . Predicted results: Seven points from six games . Tottenham (A) - L . Manchester City (A) - L . Everton (H) - D . West Ham (H) - W . Southampton (A) - L . Burnley (H) - W . Predicted total: 36 points . Verdict: Safe . At this stage of the season and in these circumstances you want winnable home games and that is what Villa have. However, with only three home wins this season (one less than on the road) they face a challenge. They ought to be OK, not least because a team that struggled to score under Paul Lambert has improved under Tim Sherwood. Hull . Position: 17th on 28 points . Steve Bruce's Hull are placed perilously above the drop zone in 17th with seven games remaining . Ahmed Elmohamady will be a key man in Hull's bid to protect their position outside of the relegation zone . Predicted results: Five points from seven games . Southampton (A) - L . Liverpool (H) - D . Crystal Palace (A) - D . Arsenal (H) - L . Burnley (H) - W . Tottenham (A) - L . Manchester United (H) - L . Predicted total: 33 points . Verdict: Safe. On goal difference. The hardest run-in of the lot? It looks that way and therefore they could cut it awfully fine with regards to survival. There are two points between them and QPR at the moment, but Hull could have a potentially decisive advantage in the form of their goal difference, which is six better than QPR’s. Their fixtures are simply awful. Crystal Palace are isolated on that list as a team without major incentive. QPR . Position: 18th on 26 points . Charlie Austin has netted 17 goals in 29 games for QPR and will be vital during his team's difficult run-in . Chris Ramsey may find QPR's goal difference a big disadvantage, particularly with a tough final seven games . Predicted results: Seven points from six games . Chelsea (H) - L . West Ham (H) - W . Liverpool (A) - L . Man City (A) - L . Newcastle (H) - W . Leicester (A) - D . Predicted total: 33 points . Verdict: Relegated on goal difference . Three brutally hard fixtures with perhaps a mixed blessing that Liverpool and Manchester City – games you would expect them to lose anywhere – are played away. That places huge emphasis on home games against West Ham and Newcastle, neither of whom are in form nor have much to play for. It could all come down to the final game of the season, which is away at Leicester. Chris Ramsey has improved their away form but it is a big ask. Their poor goal difference in relation to Hull’s could be the deciding factor. Burnley . Position: 19th on 26 points . Danny Ings will spearhead Burnley's attack as they attempt to escape the Premier League relegation zone . Sean Dyche's side have two relegation crunch matches away from home against Hull and Villa . Predicted results: Six points from seven games . Arsenal (H) – L . Everton (A) - D . Leicester (H) – W . West Ham (A) - D . Hull (A) - L . Stoke (H) - D . Aston Villa (A) - L . Predicted total: 32 points . Verdict: Relegated . On paper they probably have the most straightforward opponents, but have the misfortune of playing two of their most critical fixtures – against Hull and Villa – away from Turf Moor. They have won only once away all season so it would be extremely ambitious to expect them to make hay now, considering four of those seven fixtures are on the road. Would expect their status to be decided by the final two games. Leicester . Position: 20th on 22 points . Esteban Cambiasso celebrates after an impressive display helped Leicester beat West Ham 2-1 on Saturday . Nigel Pearson (left) has eight games remaining to get Leicester safe and has five home games to play . Predicted results: Four points from eight games . West Brom (A) - L . Swansea (H) - D . Burnley (A) - L . Chelsea (H) - L . Newcastle (H) - D . Southampton (H) - D . Sunderland (A) - L . QPR (H) - D . Predicted total: 26 points . Verdict: Relegated . As with Burnley, it’s not the most intimidating run-in and they do have the most games from which to gain points. They also have the slight advantage of five fixtures at home. But 22 points from 30 games so far offers little indication that they will mount any kind of sprint for the line.

Six teams are embroiled in a close battle to avoid the Premier League drop . Seven points split 20th placed Leicester with Sunderland in 15th . Aston Villa play Burnley on the last day as QPR host Leicester .

The wife of Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor allegedly made an obscene gesture then threw a cup of soda over one of her husband's political rivals. Tonya Stack, whose husband Mike Stack holds the state's second-highest office, reportedly dumped cola on state representative Kevin Boyle in an unseemly row at a fundraiser in honor of a slain Afghanistan veteran. According to Boyle, Stack 'flipped me the bird' as soon as she spotted him at the event in Philadelphia. 'Soda fight': Pennsylvania state representative Kevin Boyle, left, claims that he was covered in soda by Tonya Stack, right, wife of Lieutenant Governor Mike Stack, and a political opponent . When he described the gesture aloud as 'a trashy move', he claims she retaliated by hurling the dark, sticky liquid at him, according to a report by Philly.com. He told the site: 'She aimed the soda at me and it landed directly on me, hitting from my chest to my lap'. He added that at the time he was sitting with the grandmother of Michael Strange, a Navy codebreaker who was killed by RPG fire in 2011 and whom the event was honoring. Boyle said that she came close to getting soaked as well, but that he took the brunt of the blast. He claims that after her shot landed, she was bundled out by a State Trooper who was guarding her. Rivalries: Boyle and Lt Gov Mike Stack (pictured) have been at the center of a political row . Boyle and Mike Stack, both Democrats, are at the center of a political struggle over who will take over the seat in Pennsylvania's state senate which Stack vacated to become Lieutenant Governor in January. Earlier this year, politicsPA.com also reported that the two were also backing different candidates in the race for a Philadelphia district which Boyle's brother had resigned to become a U.S. congressman. Ultimately, Stack's 'handpicked' candidate was chosen to contest the election, but lost to a Republican, Philly.com reported. Commenting on the alleged confrontation, Boyle told the website: 'This was a ridiculous and immature act that shouldn't have happened and hopefully won't be repeated. 'We have to be civil about our differences in politics.' A spokesman for Mike Stack confirmed that the lieutenant governor's wife was at the event. However, he did not comment on the soda-throwing part of the allegations, and insisted that she left 'under normal circumstances'.

(Billboard)From Channing Tatum twerking for Jennifer Lopez to host Amy Schumer's archery fail, there were plenty of highlights and misfires from the 2015 MTV Movie Awards. 2015 MTV Movie Awards: See the full winners list . Here are the jokes, performances and moments that hit the target and the ones and missed it. Best Moments . Amy Schumer's opener: From a "Boyhood"/HPV joke to nearly flashing J.K. Simmons to her run-in with a cancer support group, Schumer's opening video segment was as reliably hilarious and inventive as her Comedy Central show (which can't come back on TV soon enough). Plus, her monologue killed: "Half of you know who I am, half of you think I'm Meghan Trainor." Channing Tatum doing his thing: When the cast of "Magic Mike XXL" presented J.Lo with the Scared As Shit Performance award, she asked them exactly what we were all thinking: "Why aren't you dancing?" Channing Tatum obliged, popping a twerk (in a suit) onstage in front of Lopez. "Your turn," he told her. Sadly, she did not oblige. Amy Schumer takes on Hillary Clinton, Zayn Malik and more in monologue . Rebel Wilson's censored moment: Introducing an exclusive clip from "Pitch Perfect 2" as an "exclusive clit" was easily the funniest non-Schumer joke of the entire night. Even her castmates seemed shocked when she slipped it in. Fall Out Boy meets Fetty Wap: "Centuries" didn't need a rap breakdown, nor did "Trap Queen" need a punk-rock edge. But did it sound killer on both counts? Hell yeah. Fetty with an electric guitar is something that needs to happen again. Charli XCX, Ty Dolla $ign & Tinashe: There's a reason Charli gets invited to every MTV awards show: She attacks a pop song with the abandon of a rock 'n' roll tidal wave. "Drop That Kitty" was Tinashe's time to shine, though. It's only a shame she got about 30 seconds to command the stage. Kiss Cam: Amy Schumer sensuously kissing Amber Rose just before a commercial break? Well played, Amy. Kevin Hart's Comedic Genius Award: While Kimmel's intro jokes were a little one-note (we get it, Kevin is short), it was pretty adorable that Hart brought his kids onstage to accept his Golden Popcorn. As his son held it, you realized the award was bigger than the kid's head. MTV Movie Awards: See all the photos . Robert Downey Jr. accepting Generation Award: His speech was fine (kudos for the "keep your nose clean" quip), but his Avengers castmates taking a knee while he accepted his award was just perfect. Misfires . Archery fail: Schumer's bow-and-arrow misfire was a literal misfire. It wasn't a big deal, but the fact that it ruined an entire gag (with Jimmy Kimmel pretending to get shot in the chest) was naturally awkward. Of course, Schumer poked fun at herself almost immediately. "Gone Girl" joke: "How good was Gone Girl? It's the story of what one crazed white woman -- or every Latina -- does when a man cheats on them," Schumer joked. It wasn't awful, just kinda off. MTV immediately cut to J.Lo laughing like "ummm, OK" -- which is an accurate response. Vin Diesel sings 'Furious 7' Paul Walker tribute song at MTV Movie Awards . Shailene Woodley speech: Woodley definitely marches to the beat of her own drum, which is part of her appeal. But halfway through her Trailblazer award acceptance speech, the neo-hippie charm wore off, leaving most people wondering what she was trying to say. One of those wondering where she was going was Woodley herself, who wrapped up her speech by admitting it had totally gotten away from her. Zac Efron and Dave Franco: Was the punchline for their whole shtick really just Efron grabbing Franco's balls? Yes. Apparently, a man touching another man's junk is still comedy gold in 2015. Dwayne Johnson: The Rock shouting into the camera about 2014's movie highlights was totally unnecessary. At this point, MTV has to realize we've heard jokes about "American Sniper", "Gone Girl", "Boyhood" and "Whiplash" for almost a year now, and we're all ready to move on. But God Bless The Rock for giving it his all.

Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao tickets are the hottest property in town. Only 500 were on general sale with the rest distributed by the fighters, promoters, television networks Showtime and HBO and the MGM Grand. One fan, Ade Adebayo, 34, from Brighton was lucky enough to get hold of a ticket when they were released last week and here he tells us his story and his hopes for the fight. I booked the trip to Las Vegas back on December 13. One of my friends, Toby, was convinced the fight was going to happen and we needed to book it before it was announced and the prices sky-rocketed. So we booked it and waited for the announcement. Christmas and New Year came and went and the fight was not announced. Then it looked like it was going to be announced during half-time of the Super Bowl. It didn't happen. Then we thought it was going to be announced during the NBA All-Star game. It wasn't. Ade Adebayo (second right) and friends at Gatwick before jetting off to Las Vegas . Ade and his friends booked their trip to Las Vegas back in December in anticipation for the big fight . The email confirmation that showed Ade had bought a ticket for the biggest fight . But eventually it was announced late one Friday in February and we could not believe it was finally going to happen. Even though we had our flights and hotel booked we were not sure if we were going to be able to get tickets as we thought that hardly any would be released and they would be sold to the big companies for the most amount of money. We thought the whole thing was being orchestrated to make the most amount of money possible. But all four of us had been to Vegas before and we always said that if we were to go again then it would have to be for a big event or fight like this, so we thought it was worth going even if we didn't get a ticket. One of my friends in the group had been in Vegas for both Ricky Hatton vs Floyd Mayweather and Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao. He said it would be insane and that we had to go. Then it was announced last week that a limited number of tickets would go on sale at 8pm on Thursday night. We all agreed to try and get tickets. But my problem was I going to fit camp with my mum on Thursdays and it was the last one, and if I didn't go then she wouldn't go, and I am trying to encourage her. So we went to the gym and I was looking at the clock the whole time. We did the session and the warm-down and at 7.55pm I sprinted out of the gym and into the car and was trying to get online while in the car. We drove to my mum's house and by the time I got there it was 8.09pm and I got the laptop out and went on to the Ticketmaster website. Ade and friends are staying at The Cosmopolitan on the Vegas strip overlooking the famous fountain in front of the Bellagio hotel . I put in for four tickets. None available. I tried three. None available. Two and then one, same thing. I kept trying and trying and was changing the price bracket and number of tickets and then at 8.15pm I got through and it said on the screen that I had one ticket. I was stunned. It was $7,924.40 (£5,141.68) But I realised I was on my business partner's laptop and it did not have all my credit card details saved as mine does. So I had to sprint out of the house to my car to try and find my card and race back, by the time I got back to the laptop and put in my details there was about 45 seconds left on the countdown timer. In panic when I was filling everything in I clicked the box for insurance and ended up paying an extra $455. I'm not even sure what it is insurance for! Ade and the boys stopped off at the famous Wild Card gym in Hollywood where Pacquiao trained for the fight . Ade and his friends are planning a trip to the Hollywood hills in the days before the big fight . The group plan to head back to Vegas via Death Valley and the Nevada desert . Then it was all confirmed and I thought it was all too easy, and had I really managed to get a ticket? Or was it a scam and had I been turned over for just over £5,000? But then an email came through from Ticketmaster and I could not believe I had managed to get one. I then went on to our group WhatsApp group and just wrote 'I got a ticket' and the phone just went mad with messages asking to see a screen shot. And when I sent it everyone just went mad, no one could believe it. My business partner, Neil, has been on Twitter and he thinks he may have tracked down a ticket in the row behind me and the person may be willing to sell it, so we may possibly have two tickets. We will see. The group plan a big night out on Friday on the famous Las Vegas strip . The Wet Republic pool party at the MGM Grand is on the agenda for Saturday . We flew out from Gatwick on Wednesday and we're staying at the Cosmopolitan Hotel just down the Strip from the MGM Grand. After a 'quiet' night on Wednesday, we are going on a road trip to LA and the Hollywood Hills. We are spending one night there and then coming back to Vegas on Friday via the sights of Death Valley and the Nevada desert. We'll have a big night out on Friday and then chill out on Saturday at the Wet Republic Pool Party at the MGM hosted by DJ Calvin Harris. And then it is fight night! Carl Froch beat George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembely Stadium . Ade had good seats for the Froch vs Groves fight at Wembley in May last year . Mark Wright and James Argent were two of the 'celebrities' at the Froch vs Groves fight - but A-listers are expected to be in attendance at the MGM Grand on Saturday night . I have been to big events in the past, I was at Carl Froch vs George Groves at Wembley and we had good seats for that. We saw people from The Only Way Is Essex, Gordon Ramsey and Andros Townsend. But Vegas is going to be the REAL A-list. I have had some good trips in the past as well, a friend of mine is Richard Branson's PA and she invited me to his island a few years ago, so I've spent a few days chilling out there, it was insane. I never thought that holiday would be topped. Ade will be one of 16,000 fans who will pack into the MGM Garden Arena on Saturday night . Floyd Mayweather will face Manny Pacquiao in the richest fight in boxing history . But already this trip promises to be amazing, the atmosphere in Vegas will be amazing ahead of the fight, everyone will be buzzing. In terms of the fight, I would like to see Manny Pacquiao win. He has not got anything to lose. Mayweather is flash and that is liked in America, but around the world the whole money thing is not liked as much. Either way I hope it is a great fight and a great occasion.

Floyd Mayweather has a pop-up shop where he is selling T-shirts with a Philippines flag in the background. ‘I like that,’ says Pacquiao with chuckle and then tells the leader of the Money Team: ‘Welcome to the Manny team.’ We are accustomed to seeing boxers with grim expressions and gruff reactions - wearing what they call their fight face - in the last days before going into unarmed combat.

The PacMan is the happiest soul in Las Vegas, smiling, cracking jokes, bidding everyone welcome. His latest toy is a camera which he points at whoever he comes across, saying: ‘I don’t know much about these things but I like taking portraits.' There is no hint of strain even as the conversation turns to the Fight of the Century. ‘OK, this is the most important fight for my boxing legacy but I know I am going to win,' he says. ‘We have several strategies for this fight. I’m very comfortable. ‘I can’t say Mayweather is the most dangerous opponent of my career because I haven’t fought him yet. ‘At the moment it’s Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto and Juan Manuel Marquez. ‘I can say he’s a difficult opponent but I’m comfortable and confident. My killer instinct is back. ‘I’m different from the 47 opponents he’s fought before. I’m faster than any of them. He will experience his first loss. ‘This is the right time for me to fight Floyd. I’m more experienced now than five years ago. The speed and power are still there. No age changes in me.' They have been accused of delaying this epic for five years too long but Pacquiao adds: ‘Now even people who don’t follow boxing want to watch this fight. ‘When I started in America in 2001 nobody knew who I was. Now a lot of people know Manny Pacquiao’ Roger Custodio (left) and Joann Ramirez, both of Hawaii, hold signs as they cheer for Pacquiao .

The ring card girls line up before Pacquiao makes his entrance at the Mandalay Bay . A few hours after Pacquiao arrived, Floyd Mayweather met fans at the MGM Grand. He has no qualms about being cheated by the judges, the way he was in his first fight with Tim Bradley here, even though Las Vegas enjoys huge economic impact from Mayweather’s fights and two of the officials are Nevada residents. ‘I always trust the judges and the commission,’ he says. 'I will throw a lot of punches and I believe I can win every round.’ His master trainer Freddie Roach is equally confident: ‘We’ve wanted this fight every day of our lives together. Now its bigger than ever. ‘Manny’s ready. We’ve got a great strategy. We’ve worked on it together and we’re much closer now. ‘He’s been showing me things, which I like. There’s been a lot excitement in the gym with the work he’s being doing. ‘His level came up the day the fight was announced. He’s never worked so hard.’ Pacquiao had set fight week rolling by playing host to hundreds of his supporters at a meet, greet and sing-along fan fest. He took over a huge convention centre at the Mandalay Bay hotel, where he is staying in a penthouse suite with a view across the fabled Strip to the MGM Grand where he and Mayweather will finally settle their pound-for-pound differences in Saturday night’s Fight of the Century .

Pacquiao is the underdog going into the richest fight of all time against Mayweather on Saturday . Pacquiao showed no signs of nerves as he made a public appearance before his fight against Mayweather . Filipino dancers kept the crowd entertained before Pacquiao entered the building . Fans had waited patiently for a glimpse of the Filipino superstar on Tuesday afternoon . Then came the Philippines national anthem, to a backdrop of pictures of the mud-hut village In which he was born and grew up. And, of course, much high-pitched squealing and screaming when the great man himself took to the stage, albeit that he took a small leaf out of Mayweather’s book by making his entrance 45 minutes late. ‘Manny’s in the building,’ the announcers kept shouting as we waited for what they seemed to regard as The Second Coming. This was the scene-stealer by Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum after declining to take part in the traditional Grand Arrival of the fighters at the MGM Grand, in which Mayweather would be starring later in the day. The rift had been ignited by the dispute over the allocation of tickets for Saturday night between the two camps, which had delayed their sale and momentarily jeopardised the fight. Both men insist that the bad blood will not spill over into the fight, which they will approach with professional intensity. Pacquiao looked relaxed as he spoke briefly to the assembled crowd in Las Vegas . Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum introduces his charge before the boxer poses for the fans . Fans hold up a 'Pacquiao For President' message on a Philippines national flag during a fan rally . Filipino dancers perform on stage before Pacquiao made his entrance at the rally . An incredible array of merchandise has been produced for the fight this weekend . There was folk music and dancing, there were Philippine tunes belted out by artists from Pacquiao’s homeland. There was screening of the PacMan singing the specially written song he has recorded as the music for his ring entrance. Pacquiao said: ‘It’s not personal for us. It’s personal for the fans.’ Giant screens in the convention centre showed highlights of some of Pacquiao’s more spectacular victories, to much enthusiasm from the faithful. There is a substantial Filipino community in this region of America - 7,000 in southern Nevada alone - and Pacquiao may well have the greater support in the Grand Garden Arena. The travelling British fight fraternity - the advance guard arrived in time to join the Fan Fest and the Grand Arrival – are split between Money and Manny. Arum effected the introduction of ‘the man you love and who will be victorious on Saturday night.’ Pacquiao shook a hundred hands before he said: ‘Don’t get nervous on Saturday. I’m the one who’s going to win the fight. So relax. It is time for Mayweather to lose. ‘Just be excited. I’m excited. Thank you for your overwhelming support and prayers. I love you guys. God bless.’ The noise was deafening. And there are still four days to go.

Tomorrow is set to be another fine day for many places, although it will be cloudy to start in some central and eastern areas of the UK. There will be plenty of sunshine in England, Wales, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, a Met Office forecaster told MailOnline. Temperatures are expected to hover in the high teens, and could climb to 21C in brighter spots of the north west of England. The exception is northern Scotland, where it thicker cloud will bring lower temperatures of roughly 14C and some patchy rain.

The forecaster said: 'There will be a band of rain coming into the south west and another coming into the north of Scotland. The fine weather will be squeezed out from two directions.

Met Office forecaster Alex Burkill said Monday will see more widespread unsettled conditions across the UK, a trend which could hold into the beginning of May. He said: 'Looking ahead, it will be windier than of late, particularly in the north. Temperatures are going to be feeling rather cold in the rain and the stronger winds. 'The theme is going to continue into May, but by the middle of May there will be some settled weather. He added: 'That is not to say we won't have some nice days or nice periods of sunshine at times, but we will not have prolonged periods of dry and bright weather.'

Charged with four offences: Sunderland footballer Adam Johnson arrives to answer bail at Peterlee police station in County Durham yesterday . An England footballer was yesterday charged with grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. Adam Johnson, 27, who plays in the Premier League for Sunderland and has represented his country 12 times, faces a lengthy jail term if he is convicted. The £10million winger was arrested seven weeks ago and learnt his fate during an arranged appointment at Peterlee police station, Durham. Johnson, the father of a three-month-old daughter, has been accused of three offences of sexual activity with a child under 16 and one of grooming. The £50,000-a-week player is due to appear before Peterlee magistrates on May 20 and the case will then be transferred to crown court. His team is playing Arsenal away that evening in the penultimate game of their league battle against relegation. The case threatens to put an end to the talented attacker’s glittering career. Last night, it was not clear if he will be allowed to continue playing before his case is dealt with. Gerry Wareham, of the Crown Prosecution Service, announced the decision to charge Johnson. He said it was in the public interest to charge the footballer and there was a ‘realistic prospect’ of a conviction. Johnson was told of the charges he will face during a 20-minute meeting with detectives. Dressed in a navy tracksuit and white trainers, he emerged grim-faced and walked swiftly out of the police station without commenting before being driven away. He stands accused of three offences of sexual activity with a child, contrary to Section 9 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The offences are said to have taken place between December 30 last year and February 26. He has also been charged with meeting a child following sexual grooming under Section 15 of the Act. Johnson was arrested on March 2 at his six-bedroom, £1.9million home in Castle Eden, near Hartlepool. Court date: Premier League winger Johnson (centre) will appear at Peterlee Magistrates’ Court on May 20 . Winger: Johnson (left, with long-time girlfriend Stacey Flounders, and right, in a match against Newcastle United on April 5) has made 31 appearances for Sunderland this season, scoring five goals . He became a father for the first time on January 8 when his girlfriend Stacey Flounders, 25, gave birth to their daughter Ayla Sofia. The alleged sexual activity offences cover a period while she was pregnant and after she gave birth. Johnson was born in Sunderland and raised in Easington, County Durham, before joining Middlesbrough’s youth academy as a 12-year-old. He made his Premier League debut for the club in 2005 and was sold in 2010 to Manchester City. Sunderland signed him for £10million in 2012. Initially the player was suspended after his arrest. But two weeks later, he was allowed back to training and returned to the team under Sunderland’s new manager Dick Advocaat. Home: The Premier League winger was arrested at his mansion (pictured) in County Durham on March 2 . Former Middlesbrough star: Adam Johnson has represented England at senior level 12 times . Adam Johnson began his career at Middlesbrough, where he made his debut in a Uefa Cup game in 2005, aged just 17. Almost six months later, he turned out for the first time in the Premier League, taking part in a 2-1 home win against Arsenal. He was loaned out to Leeds United then Watford, scoring 12 goals in his three-month stay at the Hertfordshire club. On his return to Middlesbrough, he again showed strong form, then made a £7million move to Manchester City in February 2010. In three seasons at the Etihad Stadium, the speedy winger made 97 appearances, helping win the Barclays Premier League, FA Cup and Community Shield. In August 2012 he moved back to his native North East, to Sunderland, in a £10million deal, and highlights of his time there have included a hat-trick on January 11 last year in a 4-1 away win over Fulham. He said after taking the match ball as a memento: ‘These days don't come along too often unless you're Messi or Ronaldo, so it was nice for me to get that ball as a souvenir to look back on. ‘This is up there with one of my best days of my career along with playing for England, scoring for England.’ He was awarded the Barclays Player of the Month award that month. The 27-year-old has represented England at under-19 and under-21 level, and at senior level 12 times, the last of them in a friendly victory over Italy in August 2012. He has struggled to reproduce his best form on a sustained basis at Sunderland, but endeared himself to the fans with goals in each of the club's three derby victories at Newcastle in as many seasons, including a late winner at St James' Park on December 21 last year.

(CNN)Donald Sterling's racist remarks cost him an NBA team last year. But now it's his former female companion who has lost big. A Los Angeles judge has ordered V. Stiviano to pay back more than $2.6 million in gifts after Sterling's wife sued her. In the lawsuit, Rochelle "Shelly" Sterling accused Stiviano of targeting extremely wealthy older men. She claimed Donald Sterling used the couple's money to buy Stiviano a Ferrari, two Bentleys and a Range Rover, and that he helped her get a $1.8 million duplex. Who is V. Stiviano? Stiviano countered that there was nothing wrong with Donald Sterling giving her gifts and that she never took advantage of the former Los Angeles Clippers owner, who made much of his fortune in real estate. Shelly Sterling was thrilled with the court decision Tuesday, her lawyer told CNN affiliate KABC. "This is a victory for the Sterling family in recovering the $2,630,000 that Donald lavished on a conniving mistress," attorney Pierce O'Donnell said in a statement. "It also sets a precedent that the injured spouse can recover damages from the recipient of these ill-begotten gifts." Stiviano's gifts from Donald Sterling didn't just include uber-expensive items like luxury cars. According to the Los Angeles Times, the list also includes a $391 Easter bunny costume, a $299 two-speed blender and a $12 lace thong. Donald Sterling's downfall came after an audio recording surfaced of the octogenarian arguing with Stiviano. In the tape, Sterling chastises Stiviano for posting pictures on social media of her posing with African-Americans, including basketball legend Magic Johnson. "In your lousy f**ing Instagrams, you don't have to have yourself with -- walking with black people," Sterling said in the audio first posted by TMZ. He also tells Stiviano not to bring Johnson to Clippers games and not to post photos with the Hall of Famer so Sterling's friends can see. "Admire him, bring him here, feed him, f**k him, but don't put (Magic) on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me," Sterling said. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling from the league, fined him $2.5 million and pushed through a charge to terminate all of his ownership rights in the franchise.

The federal government has pledged to scrap the religious exemption from welfare benefits in an attempt to crackdown on parents who choose not to vaccinate their children. Under the tough new 'no jab, no pay' laws, Social Services Minister Scott Morrison has announced on Sunday that parents will no longer be able to access childcare benefits simply by signing a form that says they object to immunisation based on 'personal, philosophical or religious' reasons. Parents who refuse to immunised their children are set to lose up to $15,000 a year for every child when the changes come into force from January 1, 2016. Meanwhile, families who do vaccinate their kids are eligible for the $7,500-a-year childcare rebate, $200-a-week childcare benefit and the $726 Family Tax Benefit Part A end of year supplement. Scroll down for video . The government has announced they will strip parents of welfare benefits if they don't immunise their kids . The 'conscientious objector' exemption on children's vaccination has been effective since the Howard Government, but after meeting with religious organisations, Mr Morrison said payments will be cut off if parents don't immunise their kids. 'We have had discussions with the Church of Christ, Scientist and have formed the view that this exemption is no longer current or necessary and will therefore be removed,' Minister Morrison said. 'Having been informed the religion is not advising members to avoid vaccinating their children and following engagement with members, the government no longer sees that the exemption is current and the authorisation for this exemption has been withdrawn. 'Having resolved this outstanding matter the government will not be receiving nor authorising any further vaccination exemption applications from religious organisations. 'The only authorised exemption from being required to have children immunised in order to receive benefits is on medical grounds. 'While parents have the right to decide to not vaccinate their children, if they are doing so as a vaccination objector, they are no longer eligible for assistance from the Australian Government.' Minister for Social Services Scott Morrison has announced the end to religious exemption on children’s vaccinations for access to childcare benefits . Parents who refuse to immunised their children are set to lose up to $15,000 a year for every child . The announcement comes after Mr Morrison said while immunising children against deadly diseases protects the wider society, it should be a prerequisite to receive tax payer money. 'We've got to think about the health and well-being of all the other children that are put at risk, and it's their health that also matters,' he said. 'And in fact, you know, those parents have taken decisions to immunise their children, and that's obviously the sensible thing to do. We're a free country, and we're for free society, but that doesn't mean you get to take taxpayers' money if you don't want to go along with the rules.' While doctors and pro-vaccination groups are tipped to welcome the reforms as a way to increase the number of children being vaccinated, some immunisation experts are worried the move won't bolster immunisation rates. Currently around 39,000 children under the age of seven are not vaccinated. Currently around 39,000 Australian children under the age of seven are not vaccinated putting them at risk of catching severe diseases .

A shrine created in memory of those killed during the Germanwings crash has revealed the first picture of the hero pilot who tried to break into the plane’s cockpit. Staring straight ahead, eyes firmly on the camera, this is the only photograph to have emerged of Patrick Sonderheimer, the pilot of the doomed flight. Yet the shrine, which was erected in memory of the staff killed during the tragedy, controversially also includes a picture of co-pilot Andreas Lubitz. Scroll down for video . A memorial display at Dusseldorf airport has revealed the first photograph of hero captain Patrick Sondheimer left) who tried to break down the cockpit door to stop killer pilot Andreas Lubitz (second from left) from crashing the aircraft . Mr Lubitz is the man who orchestrated the disaster by steering flight 9525, from Barcelona to Dusseldorf, into the mountains killing all of those on board. It has since emerged that Mr Lubitz had carefully planned the attack using the online pseudonym ‘Skydevil’, according to the German newspaper Bild. As the plane plummeted towards ground, Mr Sondheimer, 36, a father-of-two, tried in vain to save the lives of the 144 passengers and five crew members on board. Moments before, he had left the cockpit in the hands of his co-pilot in order to use the bathroom. When he returned, the door was locked and co-pilot Lubitz, 27, ignored desperate pleas from his colleague to let him back in. In a desperate attempt to stop the fatal crash, Mr Sondheimer spent up to five minutes attempting to smash his way into the cockpit using an axe. Mr Sondheimer used an axe to try to break down the door to the cockpit after Lubitz (right) locked him out before accelerating into a mountain . All of the 144 passengers and five crew members died in the crash. Lubitz, 27, had been plotting the disaster online under the name Skydevil . On recordings retrieved from the plane’s black box Mr Sondheimer can be heard shouting: ‘Open the goddam door’ in the moments before his death. The display in memory of the staff who died was created before it was revealed that Mr Lubitz had intentionally crashed the plane in the French Alps on March 24. Alongside the two men, sit the photographs of the other four crew members killed during the tragedy. All four are seen smiling broadly at the camera. The picture was taken at Dusseldorf airport, according to German newspaper Bild am Sonntag. Last night, Mr Sondheimer’s heartbroken mother paid tribute to her ‘hero’ son at her home 15 miles from the German town of Dusseldorf. Mrs Sondheimer said: ‘He died a hero but he still died, and we are devastated. The light has gone out of our lives. I am too upset to say any more.’ Shortly before the crash, Mr Sondheimer, the father of a six-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy, had switched from long-haul to short-haul flights in order to spend more time with his young family. During a memorial on March 29, his grandmother Marianne Sondheimer said her grandson’s lifelong dream was to become a pilot. She said: ‘My grandson is dead and all because of an idiot who did this to his whole flight and killed so many people.’ During the service, Captain Sondheimer was described as a man who ‘radiated happiness’. Black box recordings revealed Mr Sondheimer frantically appealed to Lubitz to open the door as the plane plunged further towards a mountain. He was described as a hero by his family .

It may not be a looker, but the Lusitanian toadfish can do much more than croak. The fish, which lives in rocky crevices in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean and glides over the muddy sea floor, can whistle, croak and grunt. Scientists have found that Halobatrachus didactylus makes five types of calls not only to attract a mate, but to warn off rivals too may be trying to swipe their nesting site. Lusitanian toadfish (pictured) make five types of calls and males can even sing in choruses to attract mates. The fish woo females with long, rhythmical boatwhistles, which also act as a deterrent to love rivals, . Male fish woo females with long, rhythmical noises that sound like boat whistles, which also act as a deterrent to love rivals, New Scientist reported. They build nests under rocks during mating season, which runs from May to July and sing to attract female visitors. If they are successful, the pair mate and the male looks after young that hatch from sticky eggs until they are ready to fend for themselves after around a month. Because males, which grow up to 20 inches (50cm) long, are fiercely territorial, their song also serves as a warning for rivals to stay away. Males build nests under rocks during mating season (pictured), which runs from May to July and sing to attract female visitors. The creature is well camouflaged so sound is the best way to get attention . This is important because males nest close together to one another and form singing choruses like frogs or toads to demonstrate their virility and strength. The whistles vary according to the size of the fish, meaning that specific calls from larger specimens are particularly effective at deterring another fish from picking a fight and stealing a nest. Lusitanian toadfish typically weigh more than four lbs (2kg) and their large, flat heads and wide mouths, make them look like toads, giving their their name. Portuguese scientists discovered that the sounds made by Lusitanian toadfish indicate who they are, their motivation and information about their nest. If they are successful, the pair mate and the male looks after young that hatch from sticky eggs until they are ready to fend for themselves after around a month. Here, a female lays eggs, which stick to the roof of a nest . The experts analysed the frequencies of different songs.  Water temperature, tide level, fish motivation and the level of social interactions affected most acoustic parameters analysed (shown above). For example, during low tide, the sounds made by the fish were shorter in duration and had lower main frequencies . Male mice sing to woo females, scientists claim. They also change their tune depending on whether she is within sight or not. The females, meanwhile, seem to like some of the songs more than others. In a quirky study that could shed help shed light on autism and other conditions that involve difficulties in communication, researchers from Duke University in North Carolina studied male mice that were either placed in a cage with a female – or one with just her scent. Special equipment was used to record and analyse their squeaks, which are so high-pitched that people can’t hear them. This revealed that they sang one song when they could simply smell a female and another one when they could see her. When they could merely smell a potential mate, they belted out an extremely shrill and complex song, perhaps in an attempt to make themselves known. But when she was within sight, they serenaded her more softly. These songs also had a more simple structure and were longer. Clara Amorim of ISPA University Institute in Portugal studied the different sounds made by the fish, which contracts muscles in its swim bladders to release air, a little like bagpipe. It makes different sounds by contracting its bladders in various ways. To prove that 'boatwhistles' are used as a deterrent as well as for seduction, her team deflated the swim bladders of fish under anaesthesia, so that the creatures could still contract their muscles, but were rendered silent. The team found that mute males were more likely to face intruders in their nests, suggesting that 'boatwhistles' are an effective warning siren. ‘Boatwhistles are a cheap way to exclude intruders without engaging in a fight,’ Dr Amorim said. ‘Seeing that a nest is occupied is not as effective as hearing that there is a male in the nest eager to defend its territory.’ The sounds are modified by environmental factors such as tide level and water temperature as well as courtship motivation and by social interactions. For example, during low tide, the water temperature rises slightly and it's harder for sound to travel in shallow waters, which means that fewer fish sing and their noises are shorter in length and lower in pitch. They found that males that are desperate to mate sing a lot more at higher frequencies with longer notes. Males singing as part of a chorus sing more than they do when they are alone. Fish that sing the most, were found to be capable of a contracting their sound-producing muscles more and therefore showed that their body is in good condition. This means that males that can sing for longer have more energy reserves to defend the nest and to care for the eggs, and could enjoy higher social status and reproductive success as a result. Other fish sing too, such as clownfish, which click their jaws together to scare off intruders.

They are the remnant of a bygone era, when Sultan's ruled one of the world's oldest empires, living in a forgotten age of opulence and extravagance in India's immense palace estates. But when the Duke of Wellington 's forces defeated and killed Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore, in 1799, troops plundered the city and the palace, returning to Britain with gold, jewellery, arms, armour, clothing and even Tipu's grand throne. This month, a collection of the historic artefacts from this exotic empire will go on sale at London auction house Bonhams, and experts expect them to fetch a total of around £1million. Pure opulence: A gem-set sword with pink, green and red stones and an ornate tiger's head pommel is expected to sell for £80,000. This rare quilted helmet with a gold koftgari bar, incredibly artistic stitching and the wonderfully bright colours of India is set to sell for £35,000 . Great adversaries: The Tiger of Mysore, Tipu Sultan, left, and army general, Arthur Wellesley, right, fought in India in 1799. War was waged after spies intercepted a letter from the Sultan proposing an alliance with the French. Wellesley went on to become the Duke of Wellington, defeating Napolean in the Battle of Waterloo. But he earned his stripes fighting in Mysore and rushed to check the sultan's pulse when he was killed . The item tipped to attract the biggest price is the Sultan's personal sporting gun, a four-foot-long rifle made by his own armoury, tipped to make £150,000 alone. It was given as a present to Lord Cornwallis, the Governor General of India, after the fall of Tipu and passed on to the Earls of Pembroke, staying in the family for 200 years. A gold-coloured gem-set sword with an artistic tiger's head pommel showing the craftsmanship of 18th-century Mysore is expected to sell for £80,000. An archer's set, made for Tipu, includes a beautiful gold and red embroidered quiver and arm guards, a belt with a finely-forged buckle and seven decorated arrows. It's expected to sell for £60,000. The collection also includes a rare quilted helmet with a gold koftgari bar, stitched with a finely detailed pattern and the wonderfully bright colours associated with India, which is set to sell for £35,000. One of the prize pieces is an artistically carved hardwood tiger-paw from the foot of Tipu's throne - the only surviving piece of the once magnificent structure - which could make £20,000. Bidders can buy a piece of history with a Mughal gem-set jade plaque, complete with a note stating it was found with the body of Tipu Sultan in 1799 after he died on the battlefield. Other items up for sale include pistols, helmets, swords, intricately embroidered clothing and even a bronze field cannon used to defend the fortress at Seringapatam. Atop of an empire: This historic picture shows what Tipu's magnificent throne would have looked like before he was toppled. On sale in the auction is the only surviving piece of the magnificent throne, a decoratively carved tiger foot with a silver plaque celebrating the victory . Foot of the throne: A carved wood tiger paw from the foot of the throne of Tipu Sultan, expected to sell for £20,000 . Medal of honour: The silver plaque atop the foot of the throne commemorates the victory over one of the greatest sultans in history . A golden age: This embroidered quiver and arm guards, belt and seven decorated arrows, made for Tipu, is expected to sell for £60,000 . The items were collected over 30 years by British Tipu expert Robin Wigington, who even turned part of his house in Stratford Upon Avon into a museum and allowed some of them to be displayed in exhibitions worldwide. He sold his collection to a private collector in 2005 and they have now been put up for sale again. Claire Penhallurick, head of Islamic and Indian art at Bonhams, said: 'It is very unusual for there to be an auction of so many artefacts that once belonged to Tipu. It is the product of one man who collected for nearly 30 years. 'Robin Wigington was an arms and armour gentleman dealer who collected these pieces over three decades. He was obsessed with Tipu - he published pieces and loaned items to major exhibitions. 'In the end he built his own museum at his home in Stratford Upon Avon which was open for six years, during which time it won an award for the best British museum. 'One of the highlights of this sale is one of the feet that Tipu's throne rested on. 'Quite a few of the items are signed and dated by the manufacturer, making them incredibly important historical documents because it allows other items from the same era to be dated. 'Many of the pieces have previous metal inlays and incredibly decorative touches. It's very obvious they're Tipu's pieces. 'Wigington had an eye for quality and he collected the best of the best. These items are not just arms and armour but far more than that - they're works of art. Storming of Seringapatam under General Baird and death of Tipu Sultan, May 4, 1799, in the Mysore War. Tipu Sultan was shot and killed in the onslaught . Wellington was a 30-year-old army general when he led troops to Mysore in the late 18th century. Then a young Arthur Wellesley, he earned his stripes and learned skills fighting Tipu, nicknamed the Tiger of Mysore, that would later prove vital in defeating French dictator Napoleon on the battlefields of Waterloo. His elder brother Richard Wellesley, the British Governor General, had waged war against the sultan after a spy intercepted a letter from Napoleon proposing an alliance. It was to be the fourth war between the Brits and the southern Indian kingdom of Mysore in just over 30 years. Wellesley led the British army into Tipu's stronghold of Seringapatam, the capital of Mysore, on April 5 1799 with the military planning and precision that came to be his strongest attributes. More than two decades letter Wellesley, by then the Duke of Wellington, used the same skills he had learned against Tipu Sultan to crush Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. After several weeks of besieging the city the Brits were able to breach the walls of its fortress. Tipu Sultan was shot and killed in the onslaught, and Wellesley dashed to the scene to check his pulse. Weelington went on to become one of the most famed leaders in military history. 'Tipu Sultan was one of the greatest rulers in Indian history, but interest in him comes from all over the world.' 'He was the first adversary of General Arthur Wellesley, who went on to become the Duke of Wellington. 'It would be fair to say Wellesley learned the skills he later displayed at the Battle of Waterloo fighting against Tipu, although Tipu gave the Brits a good run for their money. 'After the fall of Tipu the British took over his palace and some of his items were divided up among officers. 'A series of auctions were held over three days in Seringapatam where more treasures were sold. 'Some of these items we are selling could have come from these auctions, or they could have been gifted to officers at the time. 'Many of the pieces have 200-year provenances in the UK. 'Some were personal weapons of Tipu's - one such is a huge gun with a crouching tiger carved into the butt which was gifted to Lord Cornwallis after the fall of Seringapatam.

The items will be on sale at the Bonhams auction on April 21 . The Duke of Wellington's former home Apsley House on Hyde Park Corner where he hosted grand events to commemorate the historic battle . The Duke of Wellington's handwritten orders from the Battle of Waterloo and a pair of the original 'Wellington boots' are among items in two exhibitions to mark the 200th anniversary of the conflict. English Heritage is putting on new displays at Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner and nearby Apsley House, the London home of the first Duke of Wellington, who commanded the army that defeated Napolean in modern day Belgium in 1815. They mark the bicentenary of the battle in which British and Prussian forces finally defeated Bonaparte, bringing an end to conflict which had raged in Europe and the wider world for 20 years. At Wellington's former home, Apsley House, which dates back to the 1770s, visitors will be able see the Waterloo Gallery as it was when he hosted annual banquets to commemorate the battle. Josephine Oxley, keeper of the Wellington collection, said visitors would be able to find out about the man behind the battle and also see the scale of the banquets which took place every year from 1820 until the duke died in 1852. 'Once the Waterloo Gallery was finished in 1828, the banquets expanded and became very glamorous affairs, so much so there were crowds outside, it was the red carpet event of its day.'

30-year-old Duke of Wellington fought Tipu Sultan as an army general in 1799 . Tipu was killed in the defeat and soldiers plundered the city and palace for jewels and riches . Modern British collector was 'obsessed with' Sultan, acquiring works over 30 years . Sale of his collection could fetch £1million with personal gun tipped to get £150,000 alone .

Muslim communities in parts of Britain have a 'cultural problem' where they view women as commodities to be abused, according to the Culture Secretary. Sajid Javid declared some values prevalent in certain Asian communities were 'totally unacceptable in British society'. His comments come after inquiries into the sexual abuse of vulnerable girls targeted by Asian men in Rochdale, Rotherham and Oxford found that the authorities had failed to protect them. Sajid Javid declared some values prevalent in certain Asian communities were 'totally unacceptable in British society' Mr Javid told the Daily Telegraph a 'misplaced sense of political correctness' prevented police and social workers from properly investigating claims of abuse. Mr Javid said: 'Well, first of all the perpetrators were disproportionately Asian Muslim men, and I absolutely think there has been a misplaced sense of political correctness that prevented authorities, whether social workers or police, from properly investigating what was going on. 'If we are to learn proper lessons from this, we have to look at the cultural side of some communities in Britain and see why it is that in some communities there are men that have a view of women that is completely unacceptable in modern British society. Why do they have such a low value of women that they see them as commodities to be abused?' The Tory minister said the authorities had to 'get to the bottom of this' and emphasised that 'we have to look at the cultural aspects of it'. The Tory minister's comments come after inquiries into the sexual abuse of vulnerable girls targeted by Asian men in Rochdale, Rotherham and Oxford found that the authorities had failed to protect them . He urged Asian communities to look into 'what might be going on that we don't know about'. Mr Javid said: 'We can no longer be held back in any sense by political correctness. 'I know plenty of people, British Muslims, men and women, who would 100 per cent agree with that, not only out of a sense of shame but also because of the fear of what else might be going on. Some of the values that certain people in some communities have, in their attitudes to women or on the question of freedom of expression, are just totally unacceptable in British society. 'We do no one any favours when we don't investigate or talk about them.' Mr Javid revealed in a speech to the Union of Jewish Students in 2014 that he had experienced racism at school. He said he was called a 'Paki' by a classmate. He said: 'I did what any cool, calm future Cabinet minister would do. I hit him. And then he hit me, and I hit him back and things sort of went downhill from there.' Mr Javid, whose background is remarkably different to many of his colleagues, has been tipped as a future Tory leader. His parents came to Britain from Pakistan in 1961. His father, Abdul-Ghani, worked in a cotton mill before getting a job as a bus conductor.

He said some values in certain communities were 'totally unacceptable' Comments come after sexual abuse by Asian men revealed in parts of UK . Javid said political correctness should not be a barrier to stopping abuse .

The adventure promises to deliver up and close and personal moments with some of the world's most elusive and enchanting wildlife . To mark its 10th anniversary, Natural World Safaris has launched a new series of ‘Ultimate Safari’ adventures. Divided into four areas: Primates, Bears, Big Cats and Marine Life, the safari can be taken separately, but also as an epic world tour over 203 days, taking in 21 destinations. On each ‘Ultimate Safari’, guests will be guided across the globe on a carefully planned itinerary, taking them through Africa, Asia and the Indian Subcontinent to the Polar Regions and Latin America for rare wildlife encounters. Each safari can be split into separate legs, or completed in one journey. They will be accompanied by expert guides, optimising the visitors encounters with wildlife, ensuring they are in the right place at the right time. The Ultimate Bear Safari tracks polar bears, grizzly bears and spirit bears in Arctic Canada, the Arctic Circle, Alaska and British Columbia . The rarest animal that guests can hope to see is the critically endangered Siberian Tiger in Russia. With a population currently stabilised at under 400, sightings in the wild are extremely rare as Siberian tigers have the largest home range of any tiger subspecies. Accommodation ranges from pure luxury such as Shangri- La Rasa Ria, a large resort with its own orang-utan sanctuary, to basic cabins in Russia’s Durminskoye Forest Reserve, the best place to experience the habitat of the elusive Siberian Tiger. They can spend nights in eco lodges like the domes at Patagonia Eco Camp in Chile, and aboard ships such as the MS Malmo, a maritime vessel with heritage listing and the Jaguar House Boat moored on the north side of Taima Island, one of the best places in the world to see jaguars in the wild.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has claimed no club has made an offer for Aaron Cresswell, and that the left back would be better off continuing his development at West Ham amid rumoured interest from Chelsea and Manchester City. Cresswell, 25, has been a consistent performer for the Hammers since signing from Ipswich for £2million last summer, making 32 Premier League appearances and scoring twice in his debut top-flight season. The defender’s performances have not gone un-noticed among the division’s top sides, with Chelsea and Manchester City supposedly eyeing a deal for Cresswell in the summer. But Allarydce claims that club have not been approached with an offer for his services. West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell (right) is a reported target for Chelsea and Manchester City . The 25-year-old has starred for the Hammers this term, scoring twice - including this goal against Newcastle . ‘As far as I am concerned, no-one has bid for Aaron Cresswell. So, it’s all pure rumours and speculation, which has to fill the huge amount of media space that you have to fill,’ Allardyce said. ‘My problem is: does it affect Aaron Cresswell and affect his performance? ‘Players can lose that focus on that rumour and that’s for me to make sure Aaron does what he can all season and he performs on a consistent basis. What will happen in the summer, we will wait and see. ‘I have even heard somebody said we have put a £25m buyout on him. That’s the first I know, I haven’t heard anything from myself or through owners to say “well, if somebody wants AC they would have to pay 25m.”’ Despite Cresswell’s smooth negotiation of the step up to the Premier League from the Championship, Allardyce firmly believes he would be better served staying with the east London side next season. Upton Park boss Sam Allardyce (centre) believes Cresswell would be better off staying to develop his game . ‘There’s no doubt about that, because he’s year one in the Premier League. Year one is an ongoing experience that you have that you know the level,’ Allardyce continued. ‘Aaron now needs to grow from that experience. His challenge is to continue to work as harder than he has this year, not to rest on his laurels, to think that he’s here. ‘We have seen players do that and then year two more of a disaster than his impressive first year. His professionalism will come into play start of next year by where he gets and if he gets to the next level.

A gene that affects the melting point of cocoa butter could lead to the creation of new types of chocolate - as well as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. US researchers discovered that a single gene called TcSAD1 is responsible for the melting point of cocoa butter. Plant geneticists say their finding could also lead to new varieties of climate change-resistant cocoa plants, which could boost plants’ yields and the income of farmers. A gene involved in determining the melting point of cocoa butter could lead to the creation of new types of chocolate as well as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, scientists claim.  A stock image of chocolates is shown . More than five million cocoa farmers and their families depend on cocoa for their livelihoods around the world, where Cacao, Theobroma cacao L is cultivated in West Africa, Central and South America. The World Cocoa Foundation puts annual cocoa production worldwide at 3.8 million tons, which is valued at $11.8 billion (£7.9 billion). Each cocoa pod has 40 seeds, which are composed of cocoa butter and used in the making of chocolate – and some drugs. Lead researcher Mark Guiltinan, professor of plant molecular biology at Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences said that cocoa butter with altered melting points may find new uses in specialty chocolates, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. US researchers discovered that a single gene called TcSAD1 is responsible for the melting point of cocoa butter. Plant geneticists say their finding could also lead to new varieties of climate change-resistant cocoa plants. Cacao trees growing at a research facility in Ecuador are pictured . The world's largest confectionary producer, joined Mars in November in warning of a massive shortfall of chocolate, which could reach a million tonnes a year by 2020. Switzerland's Barry Callebaut Group said soaring demand has helped chocolate prices hit more than double what they were just eight years ago. Industry experts say the world is in its longest production shortfall for five decades. Cocoa prices rose by a quarter in a year to a peak in August of £2,000 a tonne, nearing a February 2011 peak, Barry Callebaut said. Before the end of 2007 they had barely risen above £1,300, according to figures from the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO). Barry Callebaut chief executive Juergen Steinemann said the hike was fuelled partly by a 'potential cocoa shortage' by 2020 - echoing previous warnings by Mars Chocolate that demand will outstrip supply. 'The global cocoa sector may suffer a one million metric ton shortfall by 2020 because of increasing economic and environmental pressures on cocoa farms around the world,' the firm said. 'Our long-term business depends on a sustainable supply of high quality cocoa, and we believe that securing cocoa’s future begins with increasing yield for the smallholder farmers.' Disease and drought are partly to blame, but countries are also eating more sweets, particularly developing nations such as China. For example, a chocolate with a higher or lower melting point would be useful for production of chocolate with specific textures and specialty applications. 'The "snap" and "melt" of chocolate are two very important textural features that determine the appeal of chocolate to consumers, and having new varieties of the cocoa plant that produce butter with different melting points would be a valuable resource to control those characteristics,’ Professor Guiltinan explained. ‘Medical applications could include production of drug-delivery products with slower release of drugs than is possible with current cocoa-butter-based systems.’ Professor Guiltinan was previously involved in research that first described the stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase (SAD) gene family in the cocoa tree. Collaborators from the International Cocoa Genome Consortium sequenced the genome of the plant. Now Professor Guiltinan and his team have discovered that a single gene - TcSAD1 – in the SAD family, is responsible for the melting point of cocoa butter. ‘We used state-of-the-art plant science techniques to gain evidence for the role of the SAD1 gene in cocoa butter biosynthesis,’ he explained. ‘The other SAD genes appear to play other roles in the growth of the chocolate tree, such as flower and leaf development, where these fatty acids play important roles as key components of various membrane systems. ‘This information can be used to develop biomarkers for screening and breeding of new cacao varieties with novel fatty acid compositions of cocoa butter.’ This image shows cacao seeds after harvest. A mixture of lipids called cocoa butter makes up about half of each seed. The natural melting point of cocoa butter is close to human body temperature. This trait gives chocolate its melt-in-your-mouth texture and provides a creamy texture to lotions applied to the skin . Professor Guiltinan and his team have discovered that a single gene - TcSAD1 – in the SAD family, is responsible for the melting point of cocoa butter. He said the discovery could lead to new types of chocolate, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. A cocoa butter body scrub is shown left and a stock image of drugs, right . Cocoa butter consists of almost equal amounts of palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid. Its exact composition determines its melting temperature, which is very close to human body temperature. This is why chocolate feels smooth in the mouth and cosmetics containing cocoa butter have a creamy texture when applied to skin. ‘During cacao seed development, large amounts of fatty acids are synthesised that are rich in saturated and monounsaturated lipids,’ Professor Guiltinan said. ‘An important part of this process is the activity of an enzyme produced by the SAD1 gene that creates a special double bond critical in determining the melting point of chocolate that is very close to the human body temperature and makes cocoa butter quite unique.’ 'The "snap" and "melt" of chocolate are very important textural features that determine the appeal of chocolate to consumers (stock image), and having new varieties of the cocoa plant that produce butter with different melting points would be a valuable resource to control those characteristics,’ Prof Guiltinan said .

Plant geneticists at Pennsylvania State University discovered that a single gene called TcSAD1 is responsible for the melting point of cocoa butter . Discovery could lead to chocolate with unique textures and new drugs too . Research could also be used to create new varieties of cocoa plants . Experts hope find could profit the farmers who grow cocoa .

Renowned fashion designer Collette Dinnigan has placed her luxurious Paddington home on the market after splashing out on a stylish waterfront home in one of Sydney's most exclusive suburbs. The four-bedroom 19th century sandstone property cost Dinnigan $4.45 million back in 2009, and is set to go under the hammer on May 23. After purchasing a lavish $6.5 million Watsons Bay property just last month with husband Bradley Cocks, Dinnigan is hoping for a cool $6 million when the lavishly renovated Paddington house sells. Scroll down for video . Fashion queen Collette Dinnigan has put her four-bedroom 19th century sandstone property on the market . The two-storey terrace home was built in 1880, and is set on 379 square metres of prime Paddington real estate. 'It's one of the oldest houses in Paddington, and the renovations are just stunning,' said selling agent Ben Collier for MsGrath Estate Agents, who is selling the property along with Will Manning at Ballard property. The international designer and her husband carefully renovated the property to be 'very sympathetic and in keeping with the period style, while still keeping it contemporary', said Mr Collier. Mr Collier said that the owners loved the combination of the house's proximity to restaurants and cafes, along with the unusually large terrace which makes the property an actual house. 'Most terraces in the area are around six metres, but the property's terrace is about twice that,' he said. Set back from the street in the exclusive suburb, the couple share their meticulously crafted home with children 10-year-old Estella and three-year-old Hunter.

The French provincial style kitchen boasts a marble island bar, which flows effortlessly onto the outdoor entertaining area. The recently configured lower level master suite features a stand alone marble bathtub. 'The fact that the master bedroom is on the ground floor is unusual, and means that the owners can live completely on one level, as the guest bedroom and bathroom is upstairs,' said Mr Collier. 'It's a wonderful property for those who want the Paddington lifestyle but don't want to incorporate multiple levels,' he said. The bedrooms are a generous size, and have built ins, surrounded by a neutral colour scheme. The exposed sandstone walls and recycled wooden floorboards add to the feeling of rustic luxury.

Trillions of pounds worth of oil – as much as the entire North Sea fields – lies beneath an area of England dubbed ‘Britain’s Dallas’, it was claimed yesterday. Analysis suggests there is up to 100billion barrels of the fossil fuel under the Home Counties. The potential goldmine in the Weald Basin, across Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and Kent, could meet up to a third of Britain’s oil demand within 15 years, according to the consortium exploring the area. Scroll down for video . UK Oil & Gas Investments say they have discovered 100billion barrels worth of oil reserves in the Weald Basin, near Gatwick airport (pictured, the well head at Horse Hill) A map showing the location of the oil and gas deposits within the Weald Basin, which are thought to lie at between 2,500ft and 3,000ft below the ground . This could reduce reliance on oil from the Middle East and Russia and could be a major boost for British industry at a time when the North Sea supply is dwindling. But industry experts remained sceptical of the claims, with one describing them as ‘overly optimistic’. Since 1975, of an estimated 100billion barrels of oil in the UK North Sea, only 45billion have been pumped out. It is believed another 20billion barrels can be recovered before extraction becomes too difficult. Experts warned last night that only a fraction of the Weald Basin oil may be accessible for extraction. They also claimed fracking could be required to retrieve significant volumes. Stephen Sanderson, the chief executive of UKOG, said the site at Horse Hill was 'world class' and had the potential for 'significant daily oil production' at this proposed drilling site . Horse Hill Developments consortium made the discovery during test drilling in a well five miles from Gatwick Airport. UK Oil & Gas Investments, which has a 30 per cent stake, said ‘cutting-edge’ data suggested the oilfield holds 158million barrels per square mile – equating to 100billion barrels across the basin. At current crude prices, this could be worth £3.7trillion. Stephen Sanderson of UKOG, which insisted it would not use fracking, said: ‘By 2030, we could produce 10 per cent to 30 per cent of the UK’s oil demand from within the Weald area.’ Neil Ritson, of fellow consortium firm Solo Oil, said it was of ‘major economic significance’. If flow tests showed oil could be extracted, the production process could begin within 18 months, he added. US firm Nutech, which conducted the tests, estimated 3 per cent to 15 per cent of the oilfield could be extracted – up to 15billion barrels. UKOG chairman David Lenigas said drilling in the Weald could create ‘many thousands’ of jobs. Although the exploration site covered 55 square miles out of 1,100, he said the consortium was confident the entire region was oil-rich. Works: The well is situated in this container on the proposed drilling site . Exploration: Experts are now trying to work out how much of the oil will be properly recoverable . Mr Lenigas dismissed suggestions it would be hard to extract from the site, saying the ground was limestone which acted ‘like a big sponge’ and that ‘you can effectively suck the oil out’. The Australian entrepreneur, who lives in Monaco, is a director of 16 British companies – and has been criticised in the past for exaggerating the success of his enterprises to jack up share prices. UKOG shares soared after the firm claimed to have discovered a ‘world-class potential resource’. However, Professor Alastair Fraser, of Imperial College London, said the claims were ‘overly optimistic’. A study by the university suggested a maximum of 40billion barrels in the region, while the British Geological Survey estimated the basin held just 4.4billion barrels of shale oil. Discovery: The Horse Hill site near Gatwick in Sussex, where a large amount of oil has apparently been found . Drilling: Exploratory wells have found that the ground contains 158million barrels per square mile . Development: The site is owned by a number of companies including UK Oil & Gas Investments . The professor added: ‘The question will be how much of it we can actually get out and whether it is commercially and technologically viable to do so.’ Malcolm Graham-Wood, of oil consultants HydroCarbon Capital, suggested residents might object to rows of onshore oil wells, adding: ‘The question is can it produce oil? It is extremely difficult with a very low recovery rate. This is potentially interesting but I wouldn’t attribute any value yet.’ But Mr Lenigas said: ‘To all those people who say I am hiking up the share price, I am not. I am just saying what the Nutech report says … I feel passionate that this is globally significant for Britain.’ A Department of Energy & Climate Change spokesman said: ‘The Government welcomes any new information which expands our understanding of the potential of the Weald Basin.’ There might be 100billion barrels of oil beneath the Home Counties – but residents living above it may not receive a penny of the profits. The Government owns the land under your house – meaning homeowners have no right to any oil found beneath them. Once oil has been found, oil companies pay the Government for an annual licence which gives them the right to excavate the oil and keep the profits. The Government also gains money from the tax it receives on the oil extracted. The only way an oil company would pay the surface landowner is if it wanted to base its drilling site on their land. However, firms that undertake fracking, which is seen as a more intrusive and controversial method of extracting oil than simply drilling, must sometimes agree to provide ‘community benefits’. This could include building a playground or school nearby the fracking site, and is seen as compensation for residents. Oil companies need to consult communities if they plan to undertake fracking in their area, as well as gaining planning permission from the local council.

Boom: The Sussex countryside could soon be dotted with oil wells (file photo)

Weald Basin estimated to contain 100billion barrels of oil, new report says . UK Oil & Gas Investments claims the site could supply 30% of UK's needs . If the maximum amount of oil is extracted it will be worth £600billion . But some experts warn the site in Sussex will be difficult to exploit .

This is the incredible moment a tiger was sent crashing to the floor after mistiming an attack on a fleet-footed bird. The ferocious feline was chasing what was sure to be dinner when it slipped on the icy surface and lost its footing. As the tiger raced towards the bird, it flew directly upwards forcing the mammal to try and stop dead in its tracks. Oops-a-daisy! This tiger lots its footing in spectacular style while trying to catch a chicken at a zoo in China . On the attack: At first all was well, with the tiger homing straight in on an airborne feathery meal . Target: As the bird flew upwards the tiger began to rear up, ready to grab its prey from the air . Fail: The tiger began to slip as the bird flew higher and higher in a blind panic - and it was all caught on camera by photographer Libby Zhang . Hang time: The slip caused the tiger to flip right onto its back, with the bird now well out of reach . But momentum caused its feet to slide away from underneath and go skidding along the slippery ground. The hilarious moment took place at the Hengdaohezi Siberian Tiger Park in Northeast China and was captured by photographer Libby Zhang. Libby, from Houston in Texas, was visiting the park and photographing the tigers' feeding session. Love your tiger feet: The hilarious moment took place at the Hengdaohezi Siberian Tiger Park in Northeast China . Roaringly funny: The photographer said that a watching crowd burst out laughing when the tiger fell over . She said: 'The crowd burst out in a roar of laughter - it was during feeding time and several chickens were tossed at the tigers. 'One tiger tried to reach it but he lost his balance on the slippery icy and fell backwards. 'I was surprised to see the tiger slip and raised my camera in a hurry with rapid fires on the trigger. 'I wanted to capture the beauty and power of tigers in the same image, but this tiger slip series was a total surprise and added bonus for my trip.'

Aaron Hernandez left behind his life as a millionaire star athlete today, swapping a designer suit for a set of gray scrubs at a prison where he will begin a life sentence for murder. It is perhaps fitting that Hernandez was booked at MCI Cedar Junction in Walpole, a prison just across the freeway from Gillette Stadium where he used to play for the New England Patriots. Hernandez hasn't set foot in the stadium since June 2013, when he was arrested under suspicion of murdering Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fianceé at the time. On Wednesday, a 12-person jury found Hernandez guilty, sentencing him to life in prison without the possibility of parole due to some especially heinous aspects of Lloyd's killing. Scroll down for video . The beginning of the rest of his life: Aaron Hernandez was taken to the MCI Cedar Juntion prison in Walpole, Massachusetts on Wednesday after he was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez circled in red, arriving at the 700-inmate prison . Old neighborhood: Cedar Junction is about a mile and a half away from Gillette Stadium, where Hernandez used to play tight end for the New England Patriots . Nothing to smile about now: Hernandez slumped down in his chair on Wednesday as a guilty verdict was read (left). Pictured on the right during happier times, playing for the Patriots . Hernandez was shocked by the decision, mouthing 'You're wrong', before slumping to his seat - perhaps seeing the riches to rags reality of his new life. Hernandez has vowed to appeal the decision. Directly after court, Hernandez was taken to the 700-inmate facility that will serve as a stark contrast to his former home - a $1.3million mansion. Hernandez arrived at Cedar Junction around 1pm for booking and was given the prison number W106228. The booking process took about two hours, and was probably not the most comfortable of experiences. According to a report by WBUR, new inmates at the facility are taken downstairs into the basement where the intake center is located. It is there that they change into their new uniform of gray scrubs and laceless canvas shoes, turning over their personal clothes to be either incinerated or mailed home. New home: Hernandez is starting his sentence at maximum-security prison MCI Cedar Junction in Walpole, Massachusetts (pictured above) Stately: Before his arrest, Hernandez lived in a $1.3million mansion in North Attleborough, Massachusetts (pictured above . They then post for a new mugshot and are fingerprinted before sitting in a special chair that scans their bodies for possible hidden objects. All new inmates receive a paper bag containing seven pairs of underwear and a specially-designed razor and pen that can't be used as a weapon. Jerry-rigged weapons are something Hernandez should be concerned with, according to Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hogson. Sheriff Hogson spoke with WHDH after the ruling on Wednesday and said that as the focus of a high-profile case, Hernandez will be targeted in the prison. 'It depends how he's classified or where he'll be, but it's always a possibility, always a concern,' Hodgson said. Labor: Workers at Cedar Junction's prison manufacture license plates for 50 cents an hour - a far cry from the $40million contract extension Hernandez received from the Patriots in 2012 . The food at Cedar Junction was described by a Boston Globe reporter as 'marginally edible'. Hernandez pictured above eating chicken after a Patriots game . Some other aspects of prison life may not be up to Hernandez's standards either - such as the 50 cents an hour inmates are paid to manufacture license plates. In 2012, the Patriots extended Hernandez's contract for five years in a $40million deal that was unprecedented for a tight end. Also in 2012, he signed a deal to be a spokesman for shoe brand Puma. And for a former professional athlete who's used to eating large satisfying meals, Hernandez may lose his appetite in the cafeteria where the food was once described by a Boston Globe reporter as 'marginally edible'. Cedar Point is where all male inmates are booked when they start their sentences in Massachusetts, so Hernandez will eventually be moved to another facility in the coming weeks or months, . It's reported that he will be sent to Sousa Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Massachusetts next. Moving: Hernandez will be moved in the coming weeks or moths to the Sousa Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Massachusetts (pictured above)

The 25-year-old former New England Patriots tight end was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Wednesday for murder . After the sentence was read, Hernandez was taken to MCI Cedar Junction prison in Walpole to begin his sentence .

Fort Hood victims are set to receive Purple Heart medals today - amid claims they are being denied crucial financial support. Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan opened fire on November 5, 2009, killing 13 men and women at the military post in Killeen, Texas, injuring 30 others before he was shot himself. Authorities initially classed the mass murder as ‘workplace violence’ but it has since been acknowledged that the attack was an act of terrorism - because it was inspired by a foreign terrorist group. Scroll down for video . Victim: Staff sergeant Shawn Manning was shot six times during the Fort Hood attack - but claims he is being denied vital financial support . Authorities initially classed the mass murder as ‘workplace violence’ but it has since been acknowledged that the attack was an act of terrorism . Earlier this year, it was ruled that victims will be honored with Purple Hearts - awarded in the name of the President to those wounded or killed, while serving. But one victim claims he is still going without certain benefits after the Military rejected his claims that his injuries were sustained in the line of duty, Fox News reported. Staff sergeant Shawn Manning, who was shot six times with two bullets still in his body, told Fox News: ‘I think it's almost unheard of for someone to receive the Purple Heart but not have their injuries deemed combat-related. Honor: Fort Hood victims are set to receive Purple Heart medals today . ‘I know that was not what Congress intended to have happen, but it is what currently the Army has determined is going to happen.’ Manning, who says he suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, applied to the Army in the hope his injuries would be recognised as having been sustained in the line of duty – but this was rejected by a physical evaluation board. A letter he received said that the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act did not offer combat benefits ‘for service members permanently disabled in attacks inspired or motivated by foreign terrorist organizations.’ He says the decision means his family will miss out on $800 a month in benefits – as well as back pay – and fears other survivors of the shooting rampage will be in a similar position. An Army spokeswoman told Fox News that Purple Heart Medal recipients would receive benefits ‘to which they are legally entitled’ under the terms of the National Defense Authorization Act 2015. She added: ‘In the case at issue, no final decision has been rendered, and the Soldier will have a full opportunity to present evidence at a formal hearing.’ It is now known that prior to the attack, Hasan had exchanged emails with Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaeda spokesman. Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan opened fire on November 5, 2009, killing 13 men and women at the military post in Killeen, Texas, injuring 30 others before he was shot himself .

A guard at the U.S. Census Bureau headquarters was shot in the abdomen and later died Thursday as part of what began with a suspect kidnapping his own wife at gunpoint in Washington. Authorities locked down the Suitland, Maryland campus just before 8pm Thursday amid reports that the shooter had barricaded himself somewhere inside after ramming the front gates. However, the shooter had instead taken some three dozen police officers on a wild chase back into D.C. that ended when officers shot him on a busy Northeast Washington street. Now police believe the suspect, only described as a man in his 30s or 40s, may even be tied to another shooting that occurred Thursday in the Southeast quadrant of the city. Scroll down for video . Critical: A guard at the U.S. Census Bureau was shot and critically wounded outside its headquarters in Suitland, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Shooter: Heavily armed tactical teams swarmed to the campus amid reports the shooter had barricaded himself inside . 'This started and ended in D.C.,' an FBI source told WUSA. The shooter tried to ram the gates before firing at the guard at least once, according to reports. The campus, built in 2006 and employing thousands, was locked down until about 9pm as authorities unsure where the shooter had gone quickly swarmed. According to the Associated Press, the guard was shot after noticing a couple fighting in a car. He went to investigate and it cost him his life. Sharp shooters positioned themselves outside the campus as authorities sought to determine where the shooter had fled . Reports: Reports from the scene indicated that loud bangs rang out inside the campus around 8pm, but it wasn't immediately clear if they came from guns or, perhaps, from police 'flash-bang' grenades used to disorient suspects . The guard died before 10pm after he was taken to a Washington area hospital, NBC reported. But the gunman trail of violence continued back into DC. Witnesses say some 40 cruisers finally boxed the shooter's green Honda in at 11th and H Streets in Northeast D.C. The barricade caused a collision between the suspect's car and a police cruiser, NBC reports. The suspect was shot several times. Two police officers were also wounded in the showdown, but reportedly had non-life threatening injuries.

The father of a 6-year-old girl whose teeth were so rotten her life was endangered pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment. Kenneth Wanamaker Jr, 37, pleaded guilty on Friday, weeks before a scheduled trial in the Northhampton County, Pennsylvania, case against him after the vast majority of his daughter's teeth were found to be abscessed. A dentist had testified the girl's teeth were in such bad shape they posed a potentially fatal threat to her health. Kenneth Wanamaker Jr, 37, of Northhampton County, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment after his daughter's teeth were found to be in a possibly fatal condition (File photo, August 14) A dentist report said that the girl had fourteen abscessed. She had been scheduled for surgery in March but did not have the procedure because her parents did not set up a pre-operation examination . Fourteen of the girl's 20 teeth were either abscessed, and two more needed to be pulled or had severe root and tooth decay, the dentist said, according to the Morning Call. She had been scheduled to have surgery on her teeth in March but did not end up having an procedure because her parents never scheduled a pre-operation examination. Wanamaker also pleaded guilty to false swearing and is eligible for parole. His sentence is two months to a year in prison, but he's been in jail since having his bail revoked in December for failing to enroll in drug treatment and was still behind bars as of Friday afternoon. Defense attorney Mark Freeman said the girl's treatment was put off while the family looked for an affordable way to pay for it. Authorities still are investigating Wanamaker and his partner Jessica Hoffman, 32, in connection to the deaths of Wanamaker's other children. A seven-month-old baby boy Tyler died of pneumonia in 2011, and there were two stillborn deliveries since 2007, one of which was linked to his Hoffman's methamphetamine abuse, prosecutors said. Wanamaker (right) and his partner Jessica Hoffman (left) 32, are also being investigated for the death of their 7-month-old baby boy in 2011. Wanamaker said that he and his partner are raising a happy, well-adjusted family that is involved in activities such as youth car racing . The mother had tested positive for meth in 2013 after arriving at the hospital with one of her still born baby Krystopher's arms already out of the birth canal, the Morning Call reported. She gave birth to another child last year. A district attorney said that he would reach a decision about further prosecutions within several weeks. Wanamaker will also pay a $750 fine to local Division of Children, Youth and Families and complete 15 hours of community service as part of his sentence. Hoffman, 32, was said to have gained back custody of her children after complying with court supervision. The father told WPVI that he and his partner are raising a happy, well-adjusted family that is involved in activities such as youth car racing. Other charges against Wanamaker have been withdrawn. Hoffman's case has been moved to June after she received a new lawyer. Arrangements are being made for the daughter to have oral surgery this summer.

(CNN)Deion Sanders is such a dad. The NFL legend called out Deion Sanders Jr. on Twitter for saying he only eats "hood doughnuts." In response, the elder Sanders -- in front of his 912,000 followers -- reminded his son he has a trust fund, a condo and his own clothing line called "Well Off." "You're a Huxtable with a million $ trust fund. Stop the hood stuff!" Sanders followed it up with another tweet that included the hashtags #versacesheets #Huxtable and #Trustfund. Junior is a wide receiver at Southern Methodist University, an aspiring entrepreneur and occasional rapper. His Twitter timeline is a mix of biblical verses, motivational quotes and references to sports, cars, school and Balenciaga shoes. He also has gone on record with his love for "hood doughnuts," or confections from "a place in the hood," saying "if my doughnuts don't come in a plain white box, I don't want them!" His father promptly put him in his place. Sanders Jr. seemed to take the public browbeating in stride, retweeting his father's comments. At least he knew better than to delete them.

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.

Jason Gillespie has been appointed the new coach of Big Bash League side Adelaide Strikers in a move that will see him combine the role with his duties at Yorkshire. The 39-year-old has been an influential figure at Headingley since joining the county as first-team coach in November 2011, and led them to the LV= County Championship title last year. While his coaching position with the White Rose is unaffected, he has signed a two-year deal with the South Australian franchise in a move that had been widely anticipated. Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie has taken up a role with Big Bash team Adelaide Strikers . He will begin his role there in December, when the next edition of the BBL gets under way. Gillespie, who played for South Australia during the entirety of his playing career, said: 'I would like to place on record my gratitude to Yorkshire County Cricket Club for allowing me to coach in the Big Bash League. 'I am looking forward to bringing back some knowledge and experiences to Yorkshire, which will improve our T20 cricket going forward. Jono Dean in action for the Adelaide Strikers during the 2014 edition of the Big Bash . 'I am excited to be taking charge of my hometown team in the Adelaide Strikers. Their initial interest came a few weeks ago and after a few conversations I am pleased that we came to an agreement. 'The opportunity to coach and build on the Strikers' recent success is a great challenge.' Gillespie will take up his new post with the full blessing of Yorkshire, who have never won England's domestic Twenty20 competition. Gillespie played in 71 Tests and 97 one-day internationals for Australia . Chief executive Mark Arthur said: 'I want to make it absolutely clear that Jason (Gillespie) is primarily our senior coach and he will join Adelaide Strikers with our blessing for a short period at the end of the year. It will advance his own skill-set, which ultimately will benefit Yorkshire. 'Over the last 10 to 12 years we have underperformed in the T20 competition. This year we have made it a priority. We will be making a concerted effort to be amongst the elite.'

Millionaire real estate heir Robert Durst has pleaded not guilty to two weapons charges related to his arrest last month, further delaying his extradition to California to face murder charges. Durst entered his plea during an arraignment in a New Orleans court on weapons charges that accused him of possessing a firearm after a felony conviction and possessing both a firearm and an illegal drug, marijuana. Durst's hands were shackled to his sides, and two defense attorneys lifted him from an armchair to his feet to walk to the podium. Unlikely to face charges in California anytime soon: Robert Durst, 71, pleaded not guilty Thursday to two state gun charges in Louisiana in a case that would delay his extradition to LA to face murder charges. Durst is pictured here last month in New Orleans . Attorney Dick DeGuerin whispered into Durst's ear as he entered the plea. He had to whisper twice before Durst said, 'I am not guilty, your honor.' Judge Franz Zibilich asked if Durst was making that plea to both charges against him. DeGuerin whispered again, and Durst said, 'Yes, your honor.' The weapons arrest has kept Durst in New Orleans even though he waived extradition to California, where he's charged in the December 2000 death of a longtime friend. Durst is being held without bail in the mental ward of a state prison. Durst's story also is playing out two miles away in federal court in New Orleans. An affidavit filed there accuses Durst of breaking a federal law prohibiting felons from possessing firearms. Prosecutors have asked a U.S. magistrate judge to order Durst to be brought to federal court for a hearing next Thursday — and that he remain in U.S. custody until the federal matter is resolved. Durst, an estranged member of the family that runs 1 World Trade Center in New York, has had multiple run-ins with the law over his nearly 72 years. He was arrested in New Orleans last month on the eve of the finale of a six-part HBO documentary called 'The Jinx' about Durst, the disappearance of his first wife in 1982, the death of a longtime friend in 2000 and the death and dismemberment of a neighbor in Galveston in 2001. Murdered: Susan Berman, who acted as a media spokesperson for Durst in the wake of his wife's disappearance, was shot in the head at her LA home in 2000, just as the cold case into the disappearance of Kathleen Durst was reopened. Durst was charged with Berman's murder last month . A self-defense plea won acquittal in the death of Morris Black, but Durst is charged in Los Angeles with murder in the death of longtime friend Susan Berman, 55, who was shot in the head in 2000. Berman, an author, acted as a media spokesperson for Durst in the wake of his wife's disappearance. The Jinx suggested she knew a lot about Durst. Her death coincided with the cold case of Kathleen Durst's disappearance being reopened. Durst's lawyers, DeGuerin and Billy Gibbens, have said repeatedly that he just wants to go to California to deal with that charge. They also have challenged the weapons charges on several grounds, including the allegation that the FBI 'rummaged' through Durst's belongings before getting an arrest or search warrant. But Andrea Armstrong, a criminal law professor at Loyola University in New Orleans, said Wednesday that 'the fact that it was warrantless doesn't necessarily mean it was unconstitutional.' There are at least 11 circumstances, starting with consent, that make it legal to search without a warrant, she said. DeGuerin also has argued that the two felonies to which Durst pleaded guilty in Pennsylvania — possessing a firearm while a fugitive and doing so while under indictment — are not among those that would make it illegal for him to have a gun. Until his indictment Wednesday, Durst had been arrested but not formally charged in connection with the .38-caliber revolver authorities say was found in his room at the J.W. Marriott, where he was staying under the name Everette Ward. According to court testimony, an FBI agent recognized Durst in a New Orleans hotel March 14 and escorted him to his hotel room. Durst was arrested early March 15 on the Los Angeles warrant and arrested separately on the weapons charges the next day. Durst's lawyers say the arrest in New Orleans was timed to coincide with the final episode of 'The Jinx,' which also described the disappearance of his wife, Kathleen, in 1982 from New York; the Los Angeles shooting of Berman, 55, in 2000; and Black's death in 2001.

Robert Durst was indicted Wednesday on the two weapons charges that have kept him in New Orleans . Grand jury charged Durst with possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of both a firearm and an illegal drug: 5 ounces of marijuana . On Thursday he appeared in court to plead not guilty . Durst, 71, is wanted in California for the murder of his friend Susan Berman . Berman, an author who formerly acted a media spokeswoman for Durst, was shot in the head at her Benedict Canyon home in 2000 .

A women's rights group has slammed a popular eatery for their latest advertising campaign which they claim objectifies women's bodies to sell beer. The Lowenbrau Keller, in Sydney's The Rocks, has released a social media and bus campaign featuring the slogan 'Wunderbra' underneath a photograph of a woman in a low-cut lederhosen holding a tray of beer steins. The same campaign also features an image of two women in a similar state of dress with the caption 'Make Mein A Dubbel', sparking outrage from Collective Shout, who claim the advertisements reinforces sexual objectification. Scroll down for video . Campaign group Collective Shout has slammed Sydney restaurant Lowenbrau Keller for an advertising campaign they claim sexually objectifies women . The Lowenbrau Keller campaign is being used on both social media and public transport platforms . 'Through this advertising Lowenbrau reinforces sexist attitudes and invites patrons to view female staff as sexual objects, exposing them to sexual harassment,' Melinda Liszewski, spokesperson for grassroots campaign movement Collective Shout, told Daily Mail Australia. '[The company's slogan] “Live it Large” and “Wunderbra” sends the message to an audience of all ages that women are to be valued for their body parts,' Ms Liszewski said. Ms Liszewski said that the 'Make Mein A Dubbel' advertisement also suggests that the two women shown are 'part of the menu'. Dan Hopkirk, Marketing Director for Urban Purveyor Groups who owns the Lowenbrau Keller, said that the advertisements were meant as 'fun play-on words' that people would be familiar with. '[The campaign was] designed as a portrayal of the typical Bavarian cultural experience enjoyed by millions during Oktoberfest in Munich every year, synonymous with this venue,' Mr Hopkirk said. 'The advertising slogans coupled with the imagery that has been used across the campaign, are popular anglicised German phrases which are fun play-on words,' he said. 'The Löwenbräu Keller campaign aims to embody the traditions of Oktoberfest which is about a celebratory occasion and enjoyable time spent with friends.' Ms Liszewski said that the Lowenbrau Keller, along with other establishments which the Urban Purveyor Group owns, including the Bavarian Bier Cafe, has a history of creating sexist and objectifying advertisements. 'A number of Lowenbrau advertisements make a direct comparison between the serving size of food and beverages and the size of women’s breasts,' she said. Ms Liszewski said that the advertisement also suggests that the two women shown are 'part of the menu' This images was tweeted from the restaurant's official Twitter account and posted to their Facebook page with the caption 'Is anybody suddenly thirsty?' The advertisements have garnered criticism from social media users who expressed their outrage over the allegedly objectifying images . 'This is explicitly spelt out via an ad on social media “Bigger is better - don’t you agree? We’ve got big biers, big meals and big…fun. #beer” and reinforced by outdoor advertisements.' The image, which shows a woman's chest next to steins of beer, was tweeted from the restaurant's official Twitter account, and was also posted to their Facebook page with the caption 'Is anyone else suddenly thirsty for a bier?'. The advertisements have garnered criticism from social media users who expressed their outrage over the allegedly objectifying images. 'Wie Sexistisch. If that is the attitude you wish have about your restaurant, then I wont be visiting it again! Guten Tag!' posted one social media user after the image was posted onto the Lowenbrau Keller Facebook page. One Twitter user uploaded a photo of the current 'Wunderbra' advertisement after spotting it on the back of a bus. 'I'm glad these advertisers drew the line before they went tasteless,' the social media user joked. According the Advertising Standards Board code, advertisers are prohibited from presenting men or women in a way that is sexually 'exploitative and degrading'. However, in 2007 the Lowenbrau Keller was reported to the Board for a previous campaign which showed a man dressed in traditional Bavarian clothing staring down the front of a woman in a low-cut lederhosen who is holding two steins of beer. The Board dismissed the complaint due to the 'ambiguity' of the claim that the man was shown to be staring at the woman's breasts, but ruled that the advertisement emphasised the woman's breasts and 'this did objectify the woman'. 'I'm glad these advertisers drew the line before they went tasteless,' a social media user joked when he posted this image to Twitter after spotting the ad on the back of a bus . 'Viewing these advertisements it is hard to believe it is 2015,' said Ms Liszewski . The Lowenbrau Keller responded to the claims and said that 'the last impression we want to give is that you can come to our restaurant and stare at our waitresses' breasts, and we have very strict house rules for anyone in our restaurant exhibitingoffensive behaviour.' However, Ms Liszewski said that the active social media media presence the restaurant had allowed fans of the establishment to express sexually harassing comments. 'Comments posted by fans on social media demonstrate this - “Big t*ts” …. “very nice jugs” … “this is what you will see on Saturday night big ass “beers” can’t wait",' she said. In 2013, the Urban Purveyor Group released an ad for Oktoberfest, which is held in both the Lowenbrau Keller and the Bavarian Bier Cafe each year. The clip depicts 'Bavarian beauties training for Oktoberfest', clad in short shorts and crop tops as they run along the beach and the camera pans up and down the women's bodies. 'Viewing these advertisements it is hard to believe it is 2015. There is a growing awareness in the community that sexual objectification and sexist attitudes underpin the epidemic of violence against women in Australia,' Ms Liszewski said. Ms Liszewski said that the active social media media presence the restaurant had allowed fans of the establishment to express sexually harassing comments . The Advertising Standards Board advised that the Bavarian Bier Cafe removed the above ad after it was slammed for sexually objectifying women and comparing them to pieces of meat . 'The Urban Purveyor Group and associated restaurants need to get out of the dark ages and start treating women and girls with the respect they deserve.' Last year, the Bavarian Bier Cafe was forced to remove their campaign advertising their new range of ribs, after the ads were attacked for objectifying women. The Advertising Standards Board advised that the Cafe removed the ads, which depicted a fully clothed man with two women in low cut dresses on either side, in front of a rack of ribs with the slogan 'We've got the best racks'. The cafe claimed that for every serving of the ribs sold, the company would donate $1 to Treasure Chest Charity, a group which raises money for breast reconstruction for women who have suffered through breast cancer. 'Women are literally being referred to as a piece of meat,' Ms Liszewski said. 'The ad is inviting us to judge women by the quality of their breasts. It's bad enough that there is an opinion in the general community that this is what women are worth, but to link it to a breast cancer charity is just another layer of objectification.'

Lowenbrau Keller's parent body said that the ads use 'fun play-on words' to portray of the typical Bavarian cultural experience of Oktoberfest .

Wladimir Klitschko has recalled his dramatic rise to the top on the eve of his world title defence against undefeated Bryant Jennings. The Ukrainian superstar will make his return to US soil for the first time in seven years when he takes on the slick Philadelphian at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York. The 39-year-old Klitschko, though, has been reminiscing about how it all started for him when he won Olympic gold in Atlanta in 1996, instantly catapulting him into a hero in his home country over night. Reigning heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (right) faces up to Bryant Jennings on Friday . 'I remember before I went to the Olympics and former Olympic champion in track running, [Valeriy] Borzov, he was Minister of Sports in the Ukraine said, 'Guys, you're going to the Olympics and one of you is going to win gold. That's going to change your life.' 'He was really right about it. I remember by winning the gold at the Olympics, when I came back home it completely changed my life. 'Sport definitely has power to change one's life and the world, as Nelson Mandela said. When I became champion of the world in the heavyweight division, that was 15 years ago, in 2000, and it was an amazing moment. Klitschko poses on the scale for the official weigh-in at Madison Square Garden in New York on Friday . 'I do remember clearly how it was and it was additional motivation to keep doing what I was doing. I was only 24-years-old. I mean, very, very young, but I took it seriously and I was working up to it and I believed that my work was appreciated with my success in the ring and that I became champion.' WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO champion Klitschko hasn't shown any signs of decline in recent times despite being just a year short of his 40th birthday. Still dominant and sitting high at the top of boxing's glamour division Klitschko believes age has no bearing on how long he can go on for. Klitschko will make his return to US soil for the first time in seven years at Madison Square Garden . 'I definitely think that age is just a number. Actually, it's a big advantage instead of disadvantage because with the age you're getting better. With the right lifestyle there's nothing that can go wrong,' he added. 'I'm really happy about the preparation [for this training camp] and I'm happy that I'm an athlete and I can get in the peak of my performance thanks to my experience. I'm looking forward to Saturday night. 'My sparring partners were 23, 25, 27, 29-years-old. It's amazing and interesting that considering my age, I used to be the youngest in the gym all the time, and now it seems my sparring partners are much younger than me. I see myself in them and we work very well. Former heaxyweight boxing champions Evander Holyfield (left) and Lennox Lewis were in attendance . Jennings, with a record of 19-0 with 10 knockouts, has been working on ways to nullify the well renowned Klitschko jab which he has utilised so effectively against past opponents. 'He has a great jab but I have an exceptional jab compared to his as well. He is one of the best athletes I've seen for that,' he said. 'There are definitely plenty of ways to actually get inside of a jab. Like lateral movement, head movement and relentless effort will definitely penetrate and make a change. 'I have 100 per cent confidence in everything that I do. I had a great training camp. The way that we actually prepare to manoeuvre around the jab, I feel is effective and I have 100 per cent faith in what we practiced. All I'm going to have to be is patient and be smart.'

A meat trader who swindled cash through a mortgage fraud scam to pay for luxury holidays was ordered to pay back £500,000 today. Grant Allen, 38, of Harlow, Essex, travelled first class around the world with his girlfriend Gaynor Godwin and bought a holiday home on the Costa Del Sol, Spain, using criminally gained money. The pair stayed at top hotels on at least eight holidays costing £30,000 between 2006 and 2010, including a trip to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2009 worth £7,600. Grant Allen (left), 38, of Harlow, Essex, travelled round the world with his girlfriend, Gaynor Godwin (right) using money from a mortgage fraud scam. Edward Byatt (behind Allen, left) was also involved in the fraud . Allen also splurged £8,700 on a holiday to Florida in 2009 when he took his girlfriend and children to Disney World. The Old Bailey heard that he hid the fraud by buying and trading properties and funnelling large amounts of cash through his unwitting girlfriend's bank account. The couple lived in a £700,000 home in Rayne, Essex - where £33,000 was spent on landscaping the garden - and also owned a property in Hertfordshire, bought with the proceeds of the fraud. When the home in Essex was raided in 2011, detectives found large piles of cash including £1,000 which was stashed in the extractor fan in the kitchen. Judge Stephen Kramer QC today ordered Allen to pay back £491,000 as the proceeds of crime. Allen, who was jailed for six years for mortgage fraud and money laundering, could face another three years behind bars if he fails to pay the money back. Allen splurged £8,700 on a holiday to Florida in 2009 when he took his girlfriend and children to Disney World . However, the court heard he has assets including homes in Essex, Bishop Stortford, and southern Spain which he can sell to cover the repayment. A second defendant, Edward Byatt, 39, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, was ordered to pay back £10,000 for his part in the fraud. His name was on the deeds for the home in Rayne, despite Allen living there with Ms Godwin and their young son. ‘Grant Allen used other people in the laundering process. He is somehow involved in criminal behaviour,’ prosecutor Charles Evans told the trial in 2013. ‘The money would have been criminal proceeds.’ During his trial, Allen claimed he worked as a meat trader and a builder, and suggested his funds had come from successful gambling ventures. The pair stayed at top hotels on at least eight holidays costing £30,000 between 2006 and 2010, including a trip to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2009 worth £7,600 . Mr Evans told the jury: ‘Grant Allen and Gaynor Godwin lived an enviable lifestyle and travelled to Dubai and America, sometimes travelling first class and staying in luxury hotels.’ Godwin was cleared by the jury of conspiracy to remove criminal property after telling them she had no idea where Allen had got the large sums of money. But Allen and Byatt were both convicted after trial and were both in court to hear the order being made. The judge will consider on Thursday whether to impose on Allen a strict financial reporting order which would force him to present the authorities with regular documents showing his use of money.

One problem with space travel is that humans aren’t very good at coping with reduced gravity - their bones and muscles deteriorate over time. But one company says they have an answer - a giant rotating space cylinder that can create artificial gravity. Scroll down for video . A Washington, DC-based company called United Space Structures wants to create a new space station. Their giant cylinder (shown, with the ISS and Space Shuttles illustrated) could apparently replace the ISS. It would rotate four times per minute to create artificial gravity, and would be 1,300ft (400 metres) long, cost £200 billion ($300 billion) and take 30 years to build . The ‘space mushroom’ was designed by Bill Kemp and Ted Maziejka from United Space Structures (USS), based in Washington, DC. The final design would be 330ft (100 metres) in diameter and 1,310ft (400 metres) long. • Orbiting Hotel/Casino/3D Sports Arena . • Orbiting space station - Planetary environmental monitoring/Research . • Solar system space vehicle . • Settlement cargo vehicle & construction platform . • Rescue vehicle . • Continuously looping space ferry system . • Mining vehicle/platform . • Manufacturing platform . • Bio-medical research/manufacturing . Artificial gravity is created by spinning the station 4.22 times per minute around its vertical axis, creating downward pressure via the centrifugal force to keep objects - including humans - on the floor. The force would be the same as the gravity experienced on Earth. Meanwhile on the ISS, the station is in constant freefall towards Earth as it orbits the planet - so the astronauts live in ‘zero-gravity’. While the main cylindrical body would spin in one direction, the top dome-shaped section would spin in the other direction. This would allow spacecraft to dock with the top of the station, which would appear stationary to them. The necessity for this dome gives the space station its mushroom-like appearance. The dome would house the command centre for the station, and also many of the supplies needed for the crew on board. ‘We believe artificial gravity is required to support long term living in space,’ Mr Kemp told MailOnline. To build the station, the team says they have ‘patents pending’ for six robotic systems that can manufacture and construct a variety of structures in space. While exact details aren’t known at the moment, another company - Tethers Unlimited - has demonstrated how structures could be built in space with their SpiderFab proposal, a system of robo-spiders that would build parts of spacecraft in orbit, although Mr Kemp told MailOnline that the USS method would be 'different'. Mr Kemp added that, for this large structure, it would take about 30 years to build and cost close to £200 billion ($300 billion). For comparison, it took more than 10 years to build the ISS, at a cost of around £67 million ($100 billion) - although this new station has 2.89 million times more volume. And it would be ‘large enough to transport all the people and equipment required to set up a colony on Mars and would orbit Mars and provide a safe environment while the Mars base is being constructed.’ Artificial gravity has been considered many times before, most famously in the 'Stanford Torus' design (interior seen here). A rotating station would allow people to live as if they were walking on Earth, allowing them to stay in space for long periods of time . To build the station, something like SpiderFab (left) could be used, a proposed system of robo-spiders than can construct solar panels, trusses and other parts of spacecraft in orbit. On the right is an artificial gravity test Nasa performed in September 1966. The Gemini 11 spacecraft was attached to an Agena target vehicle and spun, with the astronauts reporting a small amount of artificial gravity in their spacecraft . On the ISS, the station is in constant freefall towards Earth as it orbits the planet - so the astronauts live in ‘zero-gravity’. However, they actually still experience about 90 per cent of Earth's gravity, but the constant falling makes them seem weightless . Inside, the structures would be spinning so anyone on the curved ‘floors’ around the edges would be pushed into the ground, simulating gravity on Earth. But Mr Kemp said they want to build a smaller structure first, to prove the design works. ‘Our first structure will be 30 metres [100ft] in diameter, it will create a 0.6 gravity environment and would house at least 30 people,’ he said. This smaller structure would cost between £3.5 and £7 billion ($5 and $10 billion), and could be built in the next 10 years. It would take just 12 to 18 months to build, according to Mr Kemp. ‘The International Space Station is estimated to be decommissioned around 2024,’ Mr Kemp noted. The team has yet to begin any serious construction or testing as of yet - so at the moment, the station remains somewhat of a pipe dream. Astronauts on the ISS (Terry Virts seen left, Scott Kelly on the right) live in a constant state of micro-gravity. Mr Kelly is spending a year on the ISS to see what effects such conditions have on the human body for a prolonged period of time . In the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, astronauts are shown running around a spacecraft that spins (shown) while on a mission to deep space, creating artificial gravity for them to operate in . Previous concepts for spacecraft include this 1969 station that would rotate on its central axis to produce artificial gravity. The majority of early space station concepts created artificial gravity one way or another in order to simulate a more natural or familiar environment for the health of the astronauts on board . However, space settlement expert Al Globus, who is also a contract scientist at Nasa's Ames research centre, told MailOnline that he thought the idea was somewhat sound - and artificial gravity was a necessity for prolonged stays in space. ‘Rotation to provide artificial gravity will counteract most, if not all, of the negative effects of micro-g,’ he said. And he says if we truly want to live in space, including raising children there, it will be necessary to create such a station. ‘There is no data on the effects of micro-g on kids, but it is safe to assume they will grow up very weak as muscles and bones develop in response to stress,’ he continued. ‘Thus, for settlement, there is simply no question that they must rotate and almost certainly need to provide 1g at least for the first few generations.’ But whether this station will be the answer remains to be seen. Several other proposals for a rotating space station have been drawn up - including a Nasa concept called Nautilus-X - but as of yet, there are no concrete plans by Nasa, Roscosmos (the Russian space agency) or any other nation on what to do after the ISS. Whether this station by United Space Structures or another concept will be built, remains to be seen. Nasa's Nautilus-X concept, shown, includes a doughtnut-shaped spinning section in the middle where astronauts can experience artificial gravity. The spacecraft is designed for long trips to the moon, Mars or beyond . While a spacecraft could be created with artificial gravity, astronauts will still have to contend with zero-gravity conditions if they ever venture outside into space. Shown are Nasa's Robert L. Curbeam, Jr. (left) and Esa's Christer Fuglesang above New Zealand in 2006 .

Washington, DC company United Space Structures wants to create a new space station . It rotates four times a minute to create artificial gravity - with the 'stem' and 'dome spinning in opposite directions . It would be 1,300ft (400 metres) long, cost £200 billion ($300 billion) and take 30 years to build . ‘We believe artificial gravity is required to support long term living in space,’ Bill Kemp from USS told MailOnline .
