By . Simon Walters . PUBLISHED: . 20:23 EST, 25 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 20:49 EST, 25 January 2014 . Backlash: Ed Balls addresses the Fabian Society yesterday . Labour was facing a damaging split last night after allies of Tony Blair accused Ed Miliband of taking the party back to the 1970s when it vowed to ‘tax the rich until the pips squeak’. The backlash came after Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said that a future Labour Government would raise the top rate of income tax from 45p in the pound to 50p for those earning over £150,000, reversing a cut made by David Cameron. Mr Balls claimed the increase was vital to reduce the budget deficit ‘more fairly’. Labour MPs and union leaders hailed the initiative as a ‘populist vote-winner’ that could propel the party into power at next year’s General Election. But the tax hike was attacked by powerful figures close to Mr Blair, who claimed it was a ‘lurch to the Left’ reminiscent of Harold Wilson’s Government, when the top rate of tax rose to 83p – and 98p when unearned income was added. One of Mr Blair’s key supporters said: ‘This takes Labour back to the 1970s. It’s goodbye to the enterprise economy with knobs on. 'It is a return to the outmoded idea that you are for or against the poor. The whole point of New Labour was it showed you could help the poor and wealth creators at the same time. ‘Miliband and Balls are turning their backs on that. Miliband thinks he is redesigning capitalism with the same fervour that Margaret Thatcher did, and talks grandly of helping the low-paid by the “predistribution” of wealth instead of redistribution. ‘The trouble is they are economically illiterate and have no understanding of business or profits.’ Former Labour City Minister Lord Myners said: ‘We need to encourage productive enterprise and effort rather than resort to predatory taxation. It’s not clear how this is going to help the UK economy compete with the world’s growth economies. 'The UK already has an income tax system that is more progressive than most of our international competitors.’ His comments were echoed by business leaders, including Simon Walker, director-general of the Institute of Directors, who urged Labour to ‘drop its practice of knee-jerk reversion to the old Socialist nostrums that so damaged Britain’s economy in the past’. Why is Ed Balls announcing this plan now? Labour argues that, with 15 months to go until the 2015 Election, it is time to set out its core economic policies. The Conservatives say that Mr Balls has been thrown into crisis by the success of George Osborne’s deficit-cutting, and needs to rescue his career with an eye-catching policy.What proportion of total tax revenue comes from the highest earners? The top one per cent – those earning more than £160,000 – accounted for 30 per cent of all income tax last year.Are top earners contributing more than they used to? The proportion of income tax paid by the top one per cent has risen from a fifth to a third in a decade.Will the 50p rate raise extra money? Balls claims that between 2010 and 2013, when the 50p top-rate applied, the tax take from £150,000-plus earners rose by more than £3 billion a year. Osborne says the additional revenue from 50p was just £500 million a year – with the rest coming from crackdowns on tax-dodging and a surge in the economy. The Office for Budget Responsibility says the lost tax revenue from cutting the rate from 50p to 45p last year was just £100 million. How does the UK compare with other countries? France has the top rate – those earning more than €1million pay 75 per cent. The UK’s 45p rate is the 11th highest in Europe – but it’s still above the US top rate of 39.6 per cent and the EU average of 37.9 per cent. How many people will pay the top rate? In 2011, 236,000 paid tax at the 50p rate, out of 31 million taxpayers in the UK. And Sir Stuart Rose, the former Marks & Spencer chairman and current head of Ocado, added: ‘This is a very bad idea – it will put in jeopardy all the good work that has been done to put the economy back on track. ‘It will send out worrying messages to the wrong people, and will risk confidence and investment. My biggest single worry is why, when we have come all this way, would you want to risk that with a move like this? ‘Interest rates remain low and the Government says they will continue to do so; confidence is returning, people are coming back to work. The signs are the economy is improving. ‘This move is tokenistic. It’s a small amount of money coming from an income bracket that contributes heavily to income tax with a potentially damaging effect on confidence.’ Mr Balls’s speech yesterday came after accusations that he miscalculated by claiming the Tories’ ‘austerity Britain’ package of savage spending cuts would make the recession worse. Instead, there is growing evidence that the economy is on the mend. Mr Balls said the last Labour Government’s decision to lift the top rate to 50p resulted in those earning over £150,000 paying an extra £10 billion in tax over three years. But the Tories pointed out that the Treasury disputes this, claiming it raises less than £1 billion a year and has a damaging effect on job creation. Mr Balls said Labour also wanted a lower 10p starting rate of tax for those on middle and lower incomes. ‘When the deficit is still high and for ordinary families, real incomes are falling and taxes have risen, it cannot be right for Cameron and [George] Osborne to give the richest people in the country a huge tax cut,’ he said. ‘That’s why the next Labour Government will reverse the top-rate tax cut. ‘We will create a fairer tax system, crack down on tax avoidance and reverse the cut for hedge funds. Those with the broadest shoulders should bear a fairer share of the burden.’ Labour has already indicated it plans to impose a ‘mansion tax’ on homes worth over £2 million. His speech to the Labour-supporting Fabian Society follows a series of rows with Mr Miliband and other colleagues. Last November, The Mail on Sunday revealed how an email from Mr Miliband’s office described Mr Balls as a ‘nightmare’. And earlier this month we disclosed how Mr Balls had to be ‘dragged apart’ from Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander. Furthermore, Tory MPs have taunted Mr Balls for abandoning his ‘flatlining’ gesture – in which he waved the palm of his hand horizontally at Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne in Commons clashes – representing the ‘flatlining’ economy. The recent rise in growth figures has forced him to keep his hands by his side. On the face of it, Ed Balls’s plan to raise the top-rate of tax to 50p is a vote-winner. It is supported by six out of ten adults overall, with fewer than one in five against. Even Tory supporters favour it by a small margin. But the problem for Mr Balls and Labour leader Ed Miliband is that voters do not trust them – or their motives. That is the deeper picture that emerges from a Survation poll for The Mail on Sunday carried out immediately after Mr Balls’s dramatic announcement yesterday. Nearly half of voters say the 50p plan stems from Labour’s desire to target the rich for its own sake, with just 32 per cent siding with Mr Balls’s claim that it is a vital source of extra revenue for the public purse. And if Mr Balls thought his pledge to balance the books by 2020 would convince people the economy is safe in his hands, he has more reassuring to do – 57 per cent say he will not achieve it, with 22 per cent won over. Voters are evenly divided on claims made by some business leaders that the tax hike for the well-off will force entrepreneurs to flee Britain, as a wealth tax has done in France. A total of 38 per cent say this will happen against 40 per cent who say it won’t. Regardless of its populist appeal, Mr Balls’s 50p tax plan has not seen his ratings overtake those of George Osborne. A total of 28 per cent trust Mr Balls to run the economy, with Mr Osborne on 34. Survation pollster Damian Lyons-Lowe said: ‘The 50p income tax proposal is clearly popular in itself – even a fair number of Conservative voters approve of it. But the problem for Mr Balls is he lacks credibility.’ | Blair allies accuse the Shadow Chancellor of 'economic illiteracy'

Teacher: Michael Adebolajo's brother Jeremiah, pictured, was paid thousands by MI6 to become a spy in the Middle East . The younger brother of one of the men accused of murdering Drummer Lee Rigby was paid thousands of pounds by MI6 as part of spying operations in the Middle East, The Mail on Sunday has discovered. Jeremiah Adebolajo, who uses the name Abul Jaleel, was also asked to help ‘turn’ his brother, Michael, to work for MI5, who were already aware of Michael’s close links to extremist groups. The claims are made by the Adebolajo family and a well-placed source who contacted The Mail on Sunday. Jeremiah Adebolajo, 26, who works as an English teacher at a university in Saudi Arabia and returned to Britain this week, is to be questioned about his brother by Scotland Yard counter-terrorism detectives today. Government sources have already confirmed that Michael Adebolajo was known to MI5. Last week it was alleged that he rebuffed efforts by the security service to recruit him as a spy. Michael, 28, was discharged from hospital on Friday and was yesterday charged with the murder of Drummer Rigby and attempted murder of two police officers on May 22 in Woolwich, South London. Now it has emerged that MI5’s sister agency, MI6, had targeted Jeremiah, a married teacher based at the University of Ha’il. MI5 and MI6 work closely together on counter-terrorism operations. MI5 focuses on home security, while MI6 targets threats from overseas. A document seen by The Mail on Sunday details concerns raised by Jeremiah’s family about MI6’s alleged harassment in April last year. In it, Jeremiah’s sister, Blessing Adebolajo, 32, who works as a human resources assistant in London, says her brother was approached by MI6 while he was working at the University of Ha’il – an important strategic location in the Middle East because it takes only one hour by plane to reach 11 Arab capitals. Workplace: Jeremiah Adeboljao was working at the University of Ha'il in Saudi Arabia when he was approached by MI6 . Complaint: A redacted copy of the allegations made by the Adebolajo family about the approaches made by the security services. Jeremiah said this account as untrue . A friend of Jeremiah has confirmed her account. The friend said: ‘They asked him about Michael and asked him to help “turn” him to work for MI5. ‘They also told him to go to certain hotels, order a cup of tea and wait for his contact. ‘On these occasions he was handed £300, and was paid to fly first-class and stay in five-star hotels.’ The document, prepared by case workers with the charity Cageprisoners, says Blessing approached the East London charity for help because she was worried about the harassment and intimidation of both her brothers by the security and intelligence services. She says MI6 bought a ticket so Jeremiah could fly to an Intercontinental hotel in another Middle East country (believed to be the United Arab Emirates) and that he was given local currency worth more than £1,000. She also alleges Jeremiah told her that he was interrogated about specific people and was shown pictures of himself with named individuals taken in the UK. But Blessing told Cageprisoners that Jeremiah had ‘strongly’ rejected MI6’s offer to work as one of their agents. Older sister: Blessing Adebolajo had allegedly said her brother Jeremiah was approached by MI6 and asked to become an informant . As a result of this rejection, his sister says he was ‘intimidated’ until he was finally told that he would be stopped from leaving the UK. The friend said that two years ago Jeremiah was approached by UK security officers when he was held at Heathrow on his way back from Saudi Arabia. During the interview, he was warned about what happens to Muslims who don’t help the Government and was shown documents that confirmed people he knew were being held in prisons throughout the world. Police and security services are under huge pressure to explain what they know about Adebolajo and his alleged accomplice, Michael Adebowale. Despite warnings stretching back ten years, Michael Adebolajo is said to have been considered ‘low risk’ by MI5. He was photographed at high-profile protests – even standing next to hate preacher Anjem Choudary. He was arrested in Kenyan 2010 over his alleged plans to travel to Somalia to join terror group Al-Shabaab before being returned to the UK. Jeremiah married Charlotte Patricia Taylor in 2008 at Sutton Register Office in Surrey. Shortly afterwards the couple are believed to have left for Saudi Arabia where Jeremiah found work teaching. The University of Ha’il is one of Saudi Arabia’s most progressive education establishments and was established by Royal Decree in 2005. It consists of five colleges – Sciences, Medicine and Medical Sciences, Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and a Community College – and has more than 16,000 students.

A police officer working for a school district in suburban Houston was charged with official suppression after he allegedly asked a woman to smell her feet during a traffic stop. The woman filed a report claiming that on the morning of August 11, she was pulled over on Jones Road by Cy-Fair Independent School District Officer Patrick Quinn, 26, on her way home from visiting a friend. Quinn stopped the motorist for driving with an expired insurance, but later told her that he could smell marijuana in her car. Kinky: Officer Patrick Quinn, 26, pictured left in a booking photo and right with his daughter, has been charged with official suppression for allegedly trying to pressure a woman to let him sniff her feet . The driver agreed to let Quinn search her vehicle, which allegedly yielded a marijuana grinder, Houston Chronicle reported. According to the complaint filed with the Harris County District Attorney's Office, the cop then asked the woman what she would do in his place, to which the driver replied that she would let him off. In response, Officer Quinn confided in the motorist that he had a foot fetish and would let her go if she let him sniff her feet, according to the district attorney’s office. As the woman was removing her boots and socks, Quinn made it clear that if he were to take a whiff of her tootsies, he would likely lick them as well. As an alternative, Quinn told the driver she could give him her underwear instead. The woman removed her intimates and made an attempt to hand the item to Quinn, but the officer apparently had a change of heart and let her go without getting anything in return. Disgusting: Quinn, seen here with his wife of seven years, allegedly told the driver that he would lick her feet as well . Trade-off: According to a complaint, Quinn, pictured here with his beautiful family, offered the let the driver go if she gave him her underwear . Police identified Quinn as the officer behind the bizarre traffic stop from a fingerprint left on the driver's insurance card and charged him October 25. Prosecutors with the district attorney's office believe that Quinn may have preyed on other women to satisfy his foot fetish and are asking drivers to come forward. The Cy-Fair school district released a statement to Click2Houston Monday saying that Officer Quinn has been placed on an administrative leave. ‘We are appalled by the nature of the allegations brought forth against one of our officers,’ the statement read in part. According to Quinn's Facebook page, the St Louis native has been married for seven years and has two young daughters. | Cy-Fair Independent School District Officer Patrick Quinn, 26, charged with official suppression .

By . Tania Steere . Cricket legend Ian Botham didn’t visit his dying father for the final six months of his life - because he didn’t want to see how dementia had ravaged him. The sport star’s dad, Les Botham, died aged 82 after suffering from Alzheimer’s for more than a decade. Sir Ian admitted last night that he had purposefully avoided going to the hospital where he was dying - and has advised his children not to either. Decline: Sir Ian Botham, pictured in 1987 with his father Les, avoided visiting him in hospital in his final months, as he couldn't recognise anyone. Sir Ian's father is spoke for the first time about his father's death in 2005 . Painful: Sir Ian recalled how his father - a keen sportsman - couldn't remember how to play gold while standing over the ball . He said: ‘I might sound brutal, but I’m just being honest. Unless you’ve watched a loved one being ravaged by this disease, you can’t understand how horrendous it is. I didn’t want my memory of him to be distorted by the illness that robbed him of himself.’ One in 14 Britons over the age of 65 and one in six people over 80 years of age now suffers from some form of dementia. The former cricketer, who has three children and five grandchildren, told the Daily Telegraph: ‘There was no point going to see him because he got no comfort from it; he didn’t know who he was never mind who I was.’ Sir Ian revealed the painful details of his father’s 2005 death from Alzheimer’s to support National Dementia Week, which ended today. Support: Sir Ian revealed the details of his father's last days as part of a dementia awareness campaign . About 800,000 people suffer from dementia in the UK and the figure is expected to rise to one million by 2021, according to the Alzheimer’s Society. In most cases the dementia is caused by Alzheimer’s, a progressive disease that damages the brain. Responding to growing concern, the Government has pledged to double funding for research into cure or effective treatment by 2025. A number of celebrities have spoken of the effects of the disease on their parents in an attempt to raise public understanding of dementia. The disease is notoriously hard to diagnose. Sir Ian said his father’s illness wasn’t immediately recognised by doctors. He only realised how serious his father’s condition was on the green at Yeovil Golf Club. ‘My dad seemed fine, but as he stood over the ball, he turned to me and asked “What do I do now?” with genuine bafflement,’ he said. ‘The man taught me to play golf when I was three, but he had forgotten how to play it.’ Sir Ian added: ‘My dad would have been mortified if he had known what sort of humiliation lay ahead. ‘He would have thrown himself off a cliff rather than end up the way he did.’ | Cricket legend said disease would have 'distorted' memories of Les Botham .

India suffered its second massive power failure in two consecutive days Tuesday, depriving as many as 600 million people -- half the country's population -- of electricity and disrupting transportation networks for hours. The first power grid collapse, on Monday, was the country's worst blackout in a decade. It affected seven states in northern India that are home to more than 350 million people. Tuesday's failure was even larger, hitting eastern and northeastern areas as well. Both blackouts cut power in the capital, New Delhi, where residents sweltered. Several hours later, by 9:30 p.m., power had been largely restored, the Power Grid Corporation of India reported on its website. Power in New Delhi and in the northeastern region was fully restored; electricity was 86% restored to the northern region, and 79% restored in the eastern region, it said. The two days of disruption in the third-largest Asian economy has raised questions about its investment in infrastructure. With about 1.2 billion people, India has the world's second-largest population, behind China. At least 300 trains were held up in the affected regions, said Anil Kumar Saxena, a spokesman for Indian Railways. New Delhi's metro system also suffered delays before power was restored, causing chaos for many travelers. Traffic signals also were out, resulting in major jams. Train fire in India kills 32; death toll may rise . During the blackout, one traveler in New Delhi told CNN-IBN that her journey home had taken almost three hours, rather than the usual 40 minutes. "Long night ahead, with no lights -- I've got my trusty solar lamp ready for the night," she said. An elderly woman said she would rely on candles and flashlights to get through the outage, which she blamed on poor governance. Other travelers told CNN-IBN of ruined plans to visit relatives and long waits at stifling stations. Miners in the Burdwan District of West Bengal state were hit by the blackout too. The district's top administrator, O.S. Meena, told CNN that 150 coal miners were working underground when the outage struck, stopping lifts. Authorities switched to emergency supplies to run the elevators, he said. "All are safe," Meena said about the miners. Monday's grid failure struck early Tuesday. By dawn, many backup power systems had run out of fuel; power was partially restored after about six hours, authorities said. Airports and hospitals, running on backup power, remained operational, but many businesses closed, said Jyoti Kamal, senior editor for CNN-IBN. The cause of the problem was the failure to generate sufficient power to keep pace with surging demand, he said. Power is considered a luxury in much of India, where a third of households don't have enough to power even one light bulb, according to last year's census. They tend to be more common during the summer, when demand rises. Some of this summer's increased demand has been caused by farmers using more energy for irrigation and other tasks, in part because rains during this year's monsoon season, which began June 1, are down by more than a fifth. People are also using air conditioning units more to cope with high humidity. The monsoon rains, which last through September but would normally be at their heaviest in July and early August, not only provide rain for agriculture and hydroelectric power, but serve as a natural coolant, said CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller. Humidity exceeding 80% makes the mid-90s Fahrenheit temperatures feel like more than 100 Fahrenheit. This makes it harder for buildings to cool at night, and harder for people to cool themselves through evaporation of perspiration, all of which lead to higher energy demands, Miller said. Power Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, who has ordered an investigation into Monday's outage, said it had been a decade since an entire grid last failed in north India. He said that the cause of this week's blackouts is not known but that some states, particularly agricultural areas, may have been using more than their share of energy. Prakash Javadekar, a member of India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, criticized the government for what he said was "a huge failure of management in the power sector." India -- the world's fourth-largest consumer of electricity -- relies on coal for much of its energy but also uses hydroelectric power, which has been affected by the diminished monsoon rains. Observers say the crisis has exposed the need for India to update its infrastructure to meet its growing power needs. "Economic growth is constrained by inadequate infrastructure," among other factors, the U.S. State Department's country report on India says. "Foreign investment is particularly sought after in power generation," it adds, as well as areas including telecommunications, roads and mining. Vulnerability of U.S. electrical grid a concern .

If they go over the limit, it becomes more difficult to spot objects they could hit. And with the absence of any helpful road signs on their routes, they have to work out their safe maximum speed themselves – taking into account factors including their size and manoeuvrability, as well as how built-up the area they are flying through is.

By . Pete Jenson . Follow @@petejenson . ‘Three goalkeepers one problem’ was the headline on one of Madrid’s leading sports papers Diario AS on Friday morning. Real Madrid want to complete the signing of Keylor Navas from Levante but they already have Iker Casillas and Diego Lopez. Over at Marca, the rival of Diario AS, a solution was being offered. Maybe Lopez could be sold to Chelsea, after all it was Jose Mourinho who signed him for Real Madrid in the first place. All well and good apart from the fact that Chelsea already have Petr Cech and Thibaut Courtois. The surplus of good keepers, along with the stockpiling of talent at most top Champions League clubs means that Petr Cech, Pepe Reina, Iker Casillas, Joe Hart, Victor Valdes, Diego Lopez, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Wojciech Szczesny could all be sat on the bench for large parts of next season because their clubs also have Courtois, Simon Mignolet, Keylor Navas, Claudio Bravo, Willy Caballero and David Ospina to pick instead. VIDEO Scroll dwon to watch Thibaut Coutois stranded by Eden Hazard's chip . In limbo: Diego Lopez (left) and Iker Casillas (right) will have to do battle with the incoming Keylor Navas . Under pressure: Szczesny (left) and Hart (right) will have to compete with new arrivals at Arsenal and City . You can argue about the details. Hart will probably keep his place ahead of Caballero (although believing that to be a formality is to ignore how Caballero has been among the top three goalkeepers in Spain in each of the last three seasons). Likewise Casillas might keep his place ahead of Navas. And Szczesny could well fend off Ospina’s challenge. But however the chips fall there will be a lot of very good keepers not playing regularly. Atletico Madrid were expected to ease the congestion by signing one of the surplus stoppers but they opted instead for another young talent – Jan Oblak the 21-year-old Slovenian - so there are still too many keepers for the places available and the way the World Cup was dominated by goalkeepers has done nothing to change that. Mexico’s Guillermo Ochoa has earned a move to Malaga after his performance against Brazil. And after finishing third in Fifa’s Golden Glove rating Serio Romero moved to Benfica. Victor Valdes’ injury ruined his proposed move to replace Romero at Monaco. The Ligue 1 club could yet offer Diego Lopez a way out of Madrid. Uphill battle: Courtois (left) and Reina (right) will have to dislodge Cech and Mignolet . Settling for No 2 status is one alternative open to him and maybe, if Cech were to move to PSG, Lopez could end-up as Courtois’ stand-in at Chelsea. But experienced number twos only served to block the progress of young keepers – the highly rated Jordi Masip now finds his path to the first team blocked by Bravo and Ter Stegen at Barcelona. And the senior goalkeepers themselves invariably suffer. Coaches and directors of football might say that is just part of the modern game – top clubs need two first-team keepers. But the performances of Casillas in the Champions League final and World Cup after a season on the bench during Real Madrid’s league campaign suggest it doesn’t exactly improve personal performance. Most goalkeepers believe they have to be playing every week to reach top form. That’s why Keylor Navas was not interested in a move to Bayern Munich where he would have spent most of this time watching Manuel Neuer. It may yet convince him to turn down Real Madrid though his chances of dethroning Casillas in the near future are better than they would have been of ousting Neuer.

(CNN) -- Sebastian Vettel led home teammate Mark Webber as Red Bull claimed a 1-2 in the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday. Red Bull have claimed all three pole positions so far this season, with German Vettel heading the grid in the first two races and Webber starting first at Sepang, but had been hit by reliability issues priot to Sunday's race. However, they finally got their reward this time around, with Vettel outpacing his Australian colleague after the first lap, holding on for a comfortable victory. Formula One standings after three races . "It was a great race for us and a great result for the team after the last two races when we just didn't get the results we wanted," Vettel told reporters. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg claimed third place -- although it proved another disappointing race for seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher who was forced to quit the race early because of suspension problems. The grid had a lop-sided look to it due to Saturday's dramatic qualifying session which was hit by heavy rain. This meant the two dominant teams, Ferrari and McLaren, were both towards the rear of the field as the race began and had to weave their way through slower cars in order to get amongst the top 10 for some world championship points. McLaren's former world champion Lewis Hamilton drove superbly to battle his way to sixth position, after starting 20th, while Ferrari's Felipe Massa finished seventh and current world champion Jenson Button was eighth. Meanwhile, Bahrain GP winner Fernando Alonso, who led the championship going into the race, saw his race ended on the penultimate lap due to an engine problem with his Ferrari -- after he had tried to overtake Button. With Alonso failing to finish in the top 10, therefore missing out on world championship points, Massa's seventh-placed finish proved enough for him to steal the overall lead from his Ferrari teammate . The Brazilian, who has returned to F1 this season after suffering head injuries in an horrific crash last season, lies on 39 points, two ahead of Alonso and Vettel who are tied for second place. But this season promises to be one of the closest ever with only nine points separating the top seven after three different winners -- Alonso, Button and Vettel -- in the first three races. | Sebastian Vettel beats Red Bull teammate Mark Webber to win Malaysian GP .

Police arrested a 35-year-old Tennessee woman on charges she falsely claimed to have cancer to raise money. Kristen Hines, of Clarksville, forged signatures of doctors at the Gateway-Vanderbilt Cancer Treatment Center to use as proof of a diagnosis and treatment, according to an arrest warrant. She then posted the forged documents on a Facebook page advertising her needs as a cancer patient. Kristen Hines, seen her in jail photos showing her trying to come off as someone who's undergone cancer treatment, managed to raise more than $200 million by tricking people into thinking she was a survivor . On her Facebook page, Hines had pictures of herself with a shaved head and comments from numerous supporters wanting to donate to her cancer treatments. Hines held a benefit in mid-August at the Warehouse Bar and Grill, the Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle reported. She managed to collect more than $200. Another benefit for this month was already in the works but was canceled after Hines' arrest. The Chickin 'n' Pickin Cancer Benefit hosted by the Montgomery County Conservation club was planned for September 27. Hines - also known as Kristen Rhonda Bible - already had a lengthy criminal history, with 21 counts of forgery, two counts of identity theft and one count of theft over $10,000 in early July . Tickets could be purchased in advanced or at the door for the event. Food, drinks and live music were to be offered. Police say they stumbled upon Hines' scam after one of the doctors whose signature was forged on her documents contacted them. The cancer center employees became of aware of the cancer scam after people began calling their office asking to make donations to a Hines account that never existed. The doctor who contacted police confirmed she was never a patient at the center. Hines - also known as Kristen Rhonda Bible - already had a lengthy criminal history, with 21 counts of forgery, two counts of identity theft and one count of theft over $10,000 in early July, the Leaf-Chronicle reported, citing court records.

A fizzy drinks tax could save thousands of children from diabetes, a study has claimed (file photo) Thousands of children would be saved from diabetes, cancer and heart disease later in life if a 20p tax is added to the cost of sugary drinks, researchers have claimed. Health experts and Boris Johnson’s food adviser in London are pushing the idea under moves by the mayor and local authorities to devolve some taxation powers to the capital. Academics from the University of Liverpool calculated the effects of introducing a tax equivalent to 20p per litre in London with the aim of reducing consumption of the high-calorie drinks over 20 years. They calculated the levy would prevent 1,100 cases of cancer in the capital, reduce the number of people who develop diabetes by 6,300 and cut 4,300 from the total of those who suffer from coronary heart disease or strokes. The work also suggests the health service in London would save around £39million over 20 years. Based on these numbers, tens of thousands of disease cases nationwide could be prevented if the 20p per litre tax was adopted across the entire country. The figures were released by the Children’s Food Campaign, which proposes that any revenue generated by the tax would pay for programmes to improve children’s health. Malcolm Clark, Campaign co-ordinator of the CFC, said: ‘A duty on sugary drinks of 20 pence per litre would be the most practical and effective way of tackling a significant source of unnecessary calories and sugar in children and young people’s diets. ‘Mexico, France and Hungary have introduced a sugary drinks duty, and their citizens are reaping the benefits. 'Our politicians can no longer hide behind the idea that it wouldn’t be popular, or is an untried policy. ‘We urge London’s mayor and council leaders to include a sugary drinks duty in their review of how London might manage devolved taxation powers, and to make the case to Westminster for the introduction of such a duty nationally.' More than 60 organisations – including the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, the British Dietetic Association, the Faculty of Public Health, CitizensUK, Netmums and Unison – have already backed the campaign. Rosie Boycott, who was appointed by Mr Johnson to run the London Food Board, said: ‘We need a tax on sugary drinks. Unhealthy: The proposed measure is the latest in a long line to curb deteriorating public health (file photo) ‘Sweetened fizzy drinks offer nothing to a city already suffering high levels of obesity-related diseases and dental decay,’ she said. ‘It would be good for our health and the environment if we drank less of them. In many areas, London has already been leading the charge in the battle to eat well. 'But we also need national action to ensure firms contribute to the overall health bill and encourage consumers to swap to healthier products.' Soft drinks are the largest single source of sugar for children aged four to ten and teenagers. A tax of 20p a litre would add around 7p to the price of a can of Coca-Cola or Pepsi. The idea is also supported by the internationally renowned surgeon Lord Darzi, of Imperial College London. Gavin Partington, the director general of the British Soft Drinks Association, said: ‘This is a poorly thought out political proposal which will hit the poorest hardest while doing nothing to curb obesity, the causes of which are far more complex than this simplistic approach implies. ‘Evidence from France shows that while sales of soft drinks fell after a tax was introduced in 2012, they have increased since, with sales up 6 per cent in the first four months of this year. ‘Policy should be based on evidence, not a tendentious report based on a flawed model.’ | Tax proposed by Children's Food Campaign would be 20p per litre .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 11:39 EST, 6 February 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 11:42 EST, 6 February 2014 . A judge has ruled that drivers can legally flash their headlights to warn other drivers about upcoming speed traps because he views it as a form of free speech. In the past, some drivers who did so were pulled over themselves by angry police officers and issued tickets as a penalty for warning the other drivers about hidden police cars. The case that sparked the ruling comes out of St Louis, Missouri where the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of Michael Elli, who flashed his headlights to warn oncoming vehicles of a radar trap was set up by Ellisville police on November 17, 2012. Warning signs: Drivers on one side of a highway can often see hidden police cars or radar set ups that will inevitably target drivers on the other side of the highway, and sometimes they flash their headlights as a warning . An officer saw the flash and pulled Elli over, citing him for a city ordinance violation, though a similar statute exists in Missouri law. Elli was told he would likely face a fine of up to $1,000 if convicted. The case was eventually dropped and Ellisville City Attorney George Restovich said the city changed the policy and no longer pulls over people for flashing headlights. Now U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey has made that a more-permanent measure, issuing a preliminary injunction on Monday prohibiting Ellisville police from continuing the practice. 'The reality is that the injunction doesn't change the way the city has been operating for the past 12 months,' Restovich said. Still, Ellisville continued to fight the suit. At a hearing last year, Ellisville officials made the case that flashing headlights could interfere with a police investigation. Ellisville's city attorney has now said there are no plans to appeal the injunction. Judge Autrey said in his ruling that the flashing of headlights was essentially a good thing, sending 'a message to bring one's driving in conformity with the law — whether it be by slowing down, turning on one's own headlamps at dusk or in the rain, or proceeding with caution.' Changing tactics: Now drivers who 'warn' others cannot be penalized . Jonathan Turley, a criminal attorney and a professor at George Washington University Law School, said courts across the country are dealing with the same issue. In virtually every case except those still being decided, the person cited has prevailed, Turley said. 'This has sweeping implications for the First Amendment,' Turley said. 'What this citizen is doing is warning other citizens about the violation of law. People regularly warn others about the possibility of arrest. There's no difference between a verbal warning and a mechanical warning. Both are forms of speech.' Jeffrey A. Mittman, executive director of the ACLU of Missouri, said that since filing the suit, his office has heard from many other drivers across Missouri complaining about similar police practices. 'It is important that law enforcement officers in other jurisdictions take note of this federal court decision and the ACLU-MO's commitment to free speech,' Mittman said in a statement. | Missouri police gave a citation to a man who flashed his headlights to warn oncoming cars of a hidden speeding radar set up .
He then sued to have the ruling overturned .
Judge agreed with him, said that it was an example of him using his First Amendment rights and helping warn others to keep their speed down . | d63d9a4d499eebe3dc83528c7da56d4daf56757c | [

Heyday: Ray Easterling,l seen in his Atlanta Falcons uniform in 1975, is understood to have shot himself at his home in Richmond, Virgina . Former football star Ray Easterling has become the latest sportsman to kill himself after suffering from depression believed to have been linked to head injuries during his career. The 62-year-old, who police say shot himself at his home in Richmond, Virginia, played for the Atlanta Falcons during the 1970s and later sued the NFL over its handling of concussions. He began showing signs of brain damage 20 years ago with bouts of depression and insomnia. Then, the former safety developed symptoms of dementia as he lost the ability to focus, organise his thoughts and relate to people. His wife, Mary Ann Easterling, said she would continue the lawsuit in which she claims the NFL tried to cover up the danger of concussion. In the last year, the suicides of several sportsmen have been linked to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which is caused by repeated blows to the head and often leads to bouts of depression and anger. Last year former Chicago Bears star Dave Duerson, who died in February 2011, was found to have the condition, which can only be diagnosed during a post-mortem examination. The brains of 50 sports stars have been donated to Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, which made the diagnosis. Ice hockey players, who engage in fights, are also prone. But the condition, nicknamed 'punch drunk syndrome' is best known for afflicting boxers. Mrs Easterling, from Richmond, Virginia, said she intends to force the NFL to set up a fund for injured players as well as educating them about the risks, . Pain: Easterling, center, grimaces after getting injured during a clash with the Los Angeles Rams in 1978. It is believed that repeated concussions caused a brain condition that led to dementia in his later life . In action: Easterling, wearing the No 32 jersey, watches as Green Bay Packers running back Eric Torkelson (26) looks for a hole . Tough: Easterling was part of the Falcons' 'Gritz Blitz' 11977 defence that set the NFL record for fewest points conceded in a season . ‘Half the time the player puts themselves back in the game, and they don't know what kind of impact it has,’ she said. Ray Easterling may have suffered from the brain condition chronic traumatic encephalopathy . Also known as punch drunk syndrome, it has been most common in boxers and is associated with receiving multiple concussions. Sufferers can show symptoms such as memory loss, aggression, confusion and depression which may appear within months of the trauma or many decades later. Later in life and can eventually cause dementia. In recent years a number of sportsmen’s suicides have been linked to the condition, including Chiacgo Bears star Dave Duerson and hockey players Wade Belak and Derek Boogaard. It is not fully known why this syndrome occurs and it can only be diagnosed after death when the brain can be properly examined. Duerson’s brain is one of 50 donated to Boston University’s Center for the Study of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Experts believe CTE may be caused by the loss of neurons and scarring of brain tissue among other injuries caused by repeated concussion. It changes brain cells' cytoskeletons, which is thought to be due to damage to cerebral blood vessels. The condition is virtually indistinguishable from Alzheimer’s. ‘Somehow this has got to be stopped. It's destroying people's lives.’ She described Ray, who died at their home on Thursday, as ‘a wonderful husband and father’. ‘In everything he did, he was a charger. He went full tilt,’ she said. Describing his dementia, she said: ‘It's been a progression over the last 20 years,’ she said. ‘It's very sad to see.’ He was was found by his wife, who contacted police at 6.14 am on Thursday. Easterling was dead, with a handgun nearby, when police arrived, Richmond police Captain Yvonne Crowder told FOXSports.com.“Based on our investigation, we are ruling it a suicide,” Crowder said. Easterling played for the Falcons from 1972 to 1979, helping to lead the team's ‘Gritz Blitz’ defence in 1977 that set the NFL record for fewest points allowed in a season. He was born on September 3, 1949 and played in college at the University of Richmond. He was drafted by the Falcons with the 9th round pick in 1972 and played for seven years, starting four seasons. He was a leader of the secondary that established a team record in 1977 with 26 interceptions. The defense that year set the NFL record at the time for allowing just 129 points in a season. ‘He was one of the hardest working football players, most disciplined football players I've ever played with,’ said Greg Brezina, a friend and former Falcons teammate. ‘He loved the lord. We roomed together in training camp and every morning we would get up early and pray for everybody on the team. ‘We did that every day. He was a very unselfish person.’ After his playing days ended, he returned to Richmond where he ran a financial services company and started a youth football camp. But he started showing signs of brain damage about 20 years ago, his wife and friends said. ‘He just wasn't thinking right. You could tell that 20 years ago,’ said Brezina. ‘He'd start talking to you about one topic, and then he'd end up in another topic and he wouldn't know how he got there.’ Easterling was part of a group of seven former players who sued the NFL in Philadelphia in August, claiming the league failed to properly treat players for concussion and tried to conceal for decades any links between football and brain injuries. It was the first potential class-action lawsuit that was filed. The NFL has said any allegation that the league intentionally sought to mislead players is without merit.

Warning: Doctor Margaret Chan said the virus is a threat to the whole world . Three people have died from a a deadly new SARS-like virus, taking the total death toll to 27. The unnamed victims were from Saudi Arabia and died in the country's eastern region, the Saudi health ministry confirmed today. Yesterday, a 65-year-old man died in France as health officials warned the MERS-CoV virus is now a global threat with 49 confirmed cases worldwide. Earlier this week, the World Health . Organisation warned that the disease, first identified in humans in . September, is now their greatest global concern. The MERS-CoV virus is related to SARS, which killed some 800 people in a global epidemic in 2003. Dr Margaret Chan, head of the WHO, singled out the illness in a speech on Monday in Geneva. 'We . understand too little about this virus when viewed against the . magnitude of its potential threat,' Chan said at the annual WHO meeting. 'We do not know where . the virus hides in nature. We do not know how people are getting . infected. 'Until we answer these questions, we are empty-handed when it . comes to prevention. These are alarm bells. And we must respond.' She said the 'novel coronavirus is a threat to the entire world.' WHO said in an update earlier this . month that 20 of the 40 confirmed cases of the disease have ended in . death. Most of those infected since the virus was identified last year . had traveled to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan or Pakistan. There also have . been cases in Britain and Germany. Saudi . Arabia accounts for the majority of confirmed cases, which stands at . 33, according to WHO officials. Global threat: The strain of novel coronavirus has now killed 27 out of 49 confirmed cases worldwide . Tunisia last week became the ninth . country in which the virus has been confirmed. It is believed the disease is transmitted mainly from person-to-person contact, but so far does not spread easily among larger communities.

(CNN) -- Twin brothers David and Jason Benham have lost their opportunity to host their own HGTV show. The brothers ran afoul of the network after the site Right Wing Watch published a post about the pair, labeling David Benham as an "anti-gay, anti-choice extremist" for reportedly leading a prayer rally in 2012 outside of the Democratic National Convention held in Charlotte, North Carolina. The site posted a recording of Benham talking to a talk show host about "homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation" and "demonic ideologies" taking hold in colleges and public schools. Benham also discusses the fight for North Carolina's Amendment One, which involved a ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions in the state constitution. The Benham brothers were the planned stars of the HGTV show "Flip It Forward," set to premiere in October, in which they would have helped families purchase homes they otherwise could not afford. An April press release described the planned show this way: "After a decade of flipping houses for profit, brothers David Benham and Jason Benham now help families buy the homes they never thought they could afford. In each episode, the guys help a deserving family find a fixer-upper and transform it into their forever home -- with a healthy dose of sibling rivalry between the brothers along the way." But after the post went public, HGTV tweeted, "HGTV has decided not to move forward with the Benham Brothers' series." Thursday night, Jason Benham told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" that HGTV had vetted the pair. "When they -- a year and a half ago -- saw some of the footage where my brother was saying the things he was saying, they spoke with us. "They got to know us a little better and then they made a judgment call, recognizing that David and I have no hate in our heart for anyone. "We've been running a successful real estate company for the last 11 years and we help all people. There is no discrimination," said Jason Benham. His comments were echoed by his brother. "We love all people. I love homosexuals. I love Islam, Muslims, and my brother and I would never discriminate. Never have we -- never would we," said David Benham. "Never have I ever spoken against homosexuals, as individuals, and gone against them. I speak about an agenda. And that's really what the point of this is -- is that there is an agenda that is seeking to silence the voices of men and women of faith," he added. The brothers believe HGTV was bullied into its decision because of the media firestorm. "It was too much for them to bear and they had to make a business decision," David Benham said. Earlier, the brothers released a statement: . "The first and last thought on our minds as we begin and end each day is: have we shined Christ's light today? Our faith is the fundamental calling in our lives, and the centerpiece of who we are. As Christians we are called to love our fellow man. Anyone who suggests that we hate homosexuals or people of other faiths is either misinformed or lying. "Over the last decade, we've sold thousands of homes with the guiding principle of producing value and breathing life into each family that has crossed our path, and we do not, nor will we ever discriminate against people who do not share our views. "We were saddened to hear HGTV's decision. With all of the grotesque things that can be seen and heard on television today you would think there would be room for two twin brothers who are faithful to our families, committed to biblical principles, and dedicated professionals. If our faith costs us a television show then so be it." There is also a YouTube video of David Benham speaking at a "celebration" of a closing of an abortion clinic in 2013. Website GlobalFlare.com, which emphasizes "positive news and entertainment," called it a "smear campaign" against the brothers. The organization Faith Driven Consumer, which started a campaign in support of Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty," has launched #FlipThisDecision, a petition aimed at reinstating the HGTV show. | NEW: The brothers tell CNN they believe HGTV was bullied into its decision .

Caen, France (CNN) -- "See what I'll miss?" Princess Haya has been ambushed. The 40-year-old leader of one of the Olympics' biggest sports finds herself fending off British paradressage rider Lee Pearson. Pearson wears around his neck the three gold medals he has won at the World Equestrian Games in Caen, Normandy. As he leans in, medals dangling above the seated Haya's left shoulder, he announces: "Now ma'am, I know you were quite good at showjumping and you might not have enough golds, so I thought I'd let you have a feel of my gongs." This is what the princess will miss when, in December, she reaches the end of her two terms leading the FEI, which governs world horse sport. One of very few women to occupy such a prominent position within the Olympic movement, Haya is the subject of a warm, impromptu tribute from Pearson. "She's brought inclusion from many countries that thought equestrianism was kind of elitist," says the 10-time Paralympic champion. "She's kept us in the Olympics by making sure London was such a success, and she's modernized it. We're not riders, we're athletes." Her Royal Highness Princess Haya of Jordan carried her country's flag at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, where she competed as a showjumper at the age of 26. Four years later she married Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, an equestrian endurance racing enthusiast. By 2006, he had become the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates and she had been elected to lead the FEI. Since then, much of her role has been to ensure equestrian keeps its place at sport's top table. Like wrestling, equestrianism claims roots extending back to the original Olympics contested by the ancient Greeks. Hence, when wrestling had a scare last year -- being temporarily voted off the program for Tokyo 2020, before reinstatement at a later International Olympic Committee (IOC) meeting -- there may have been grounds for concern at the FEI. "I believe there were very specific issues around the decision for wrestling," says Haya. "But I believe no international federation can consider that their place goes without saying. "Very much the reason I came to the FEI, to try to modernize, was not the fact that my sport had got worse or gone backwards -- but other international federations had moved a lot faster than us. "That spirit of competition, that commercially cluttered landscape really does exist. The international federations compete for their place at the Games just as much as the athletes do, and you have to guarantee that you really do have top sport." Haya points to the World Equestrian Games (WEG) as evidence that the FEI is doing its job. The latest edition of the quadrennial event boasted more than a thousand horses and riders, from 74 countries. The FEI claims more than half a billion people saw at least some action from the eight competing disciplines. "We've never had a larger event than this," she says. "The growth that's happened over the past four years has made a marked difference. "There is a larger percentage of non-purist spectators in the stands and we are able to export our sport to a new public. Our digital numbers have rocketed. Our athletes are not just performing for the family any more, they are performing for the world." All of that will be taken to the table by Haya's successor -- six candidates have come forward -- the next time the IOC calls on its constituent sports to fight for their future. Haya believes the IOC is most likely to look at removing one discipline from a large sport in order to accommodate a new, smaller sport in Tokyo and beyond. She thinks the FEI's battle lies in protecting its three Olympic disciplines of dressage, showjumping and eventing. Not that the Olympic disciplines have always dominated Haya's eight years at the FEI's helm. Endurance racing, a lower-profile form of equestrian sport immensely popular in the Middle East, has provided the biggest threat to her presidency. The sport, in which horses can race a hundred miles in a day, has been troubled by a succession of doping scandals and concerns over animal welfare given the immense distance involved. Haya's position was called into question when her husband -- an endurance racing champion, an influential horse breeder and also the ruler of Dubai -- received a six-month doping ban in 2009. She has since been accused of failing to vigorously pursue perceived shortcomings in the discipline's approach to the wellbeing of horses. Haya, who handed oversight of endurance sport to colleagues over the conflict of interest involving her husband, says the issues are now being "managed very well" by the FEI. "The sport has mainly come under criticism -- or the FEI has -- because it hasn't moved fast enough," she admits. "But on the other side of that, there are processes and procedures put in place for a good reason. "You can't have a knee-jerk reaction. You have to go through a period of dialogue and examine the situation from every side. They have been strong enough to do that and I think they've done everything they can to protect the horses, and the integrity of the sport." For her part, Haya says she wishes she had "had a lighter hand in some situations" in the earlier days of her time in charge. And as regards her unusual position as a leading woman in world sport, she believes examining gender equity only in the highest echelons of power means searching in the wrong place. "I think a lot is done to help women get to these positions but for me, what is missing is the avenue to come up through the grassroots," she says. "For me it was easy. I had my career as an athlete, I rode in an Olympic Games, then I had interaction with the national federations. I understood how it worked, and I went through a pathway. "What's missing is that opportunity for women at grassroots level in other sports. While you had the opportunities at the top, there is still very much a vacuum in between. "I think in many ways it's harmful that we have this permanent crusade, that we 'have to have women.' It makes it sound like you got the job because you're a woman, rather than being able to do the job properly. "There's a big difference between a person who merits doing the job and happens to be a woman, and one who gets the job just because she is." The FEI's vote to replace Haya in three months' time will determine the sport's course for at least the next four years. With organizations associated with the Middle East accounting for a number of equestrianism's major backers, brought in through Haya and her connections, there is uncertainty as to how the financial future will pan out if and when her influence wanes. She, however, has already promised herself more time for two other interests in her life. In a statement turning down the chance to stand for a third term, the mother-of-two listed first her family and then humanitarian work, in Gaza, as her new priorities. "I felt the president should only have an eight-year term and I still feel that is important," says Haya, who had at one time announced her intent to seek a third term -- a move some considered "undemocratic" despite a majority of national federations backing the necessary rule changes. "As president, you have to do a 12-hour day, it's a full-time job, and it's only really possible to do that for eight years until you do run out of ideas," she says. "The sport is bigger than any international federation ever will be. Sometimes, you get the feeling the world revolves around you. I've always known that if we stop, the sport never will. It's worth knowing that." | Princess Haya steps down as leader of world horse sport this winter .

"Caen, France (CNN) -- \"See what I'll miss?\"",
"Princess Haya has been ambushed. The 40-year-old",
"leader of one of the Olympics' biggest sports",
"finds herself fending off British paradressage",
"rider Lee Pearson. Pearson wears around his neck",
"the three gold medals he has won at the World",
"Equestrian Games in Caen, Normandy. As he leans",
"in, medals dangling above the seated Haya's left",
"shoulder, he announces: \"Now ma'am, I know you",
"were quite good at showjumping and you might not",
"have enough golds, so I thought I'd let you have",
"a feel of my gongs.\" This is what the princess",
"will miss when, in December, she reaches the end",
"of her two terms leading the FEI, which governs",
"world horse sport. One of very few women to",
"occupy such a prominent position within the",
"Olympic movement, Haya is the subject of a warm,",
"impromptu tribute from Pearson. \"She's brought",
"inclusion from many countries that thought",
"equestrianism was kind of elitist,\" says the",
"10-time Paralympic champion. \"She's kept us in",
"the Olympics by making sure London was such a",
"success, and she's modernized it. We're not",
"riders, we're athletes.\" Her Royal Highness",
"Princess Haya of Jordan carried her country's",
"flag at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, where she",
"competed as a showjumper at the age of 26. Four",
"years later she married Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid",
"Al Maktoum, an equestrian endurance racing",
"enthusiast. By 2006, he had become the prime",
"minister of the United Arab Emirates and she had",
"been elected to lead the FEI. Since then, much of",
"her role has been to ensure equestrian keeps its",
"place at sport's top table. Like wrestling,",
"equestrianism claims roots extending back to the",
"original Olympics contested by the ancient",
"Greeks. Hence, when wrestling had a scare last",
"year -- being temporarily voted off the program",
"for Tokyo 2020, before reinstatement at a later",
"International Olympic Committee (IOC) meeting --",
"there may have been grounds for concern at the",
"FEI. \"I believe there were very specific issues",
"around the decision for wrestling,\" says Haya.",
"\"But I believe no international federation can",
"consider that their place goes without saying.",
"\"Very much the reason I came to the FEI, to try",
"to modernize, was not the fact that my sport had",
"got worse or gone backwards -- but other",
"international federations had moved a lot faster",
"than us. \"That spirit of competition, that",
"commercially cluttered landscape really does",
"exist. The international federations compete for",
"their place at the Games just as much as the",
"athletes do, and you have to guarantee that you",
"really do have top sport.\" Haya points to the",
"World Equestrian Games (WEG) as evidence that the",
"FEI is doing its job. The latest edition of the",
"quadrennial event boasted more than a thousand",
"horses and riders, from 74 countries. The FEI",
"claims more than half a billion people saw at",
"least some action from the eight competing",
"disciplines. \"We've never had a larger event than",
"this,\" she says. \"The growth that's happened over",
"the past four years has made a marked difference.",
"\"There is a larger percentage of non-purist",
"spectators in the stands and we are able to",
"export our sport to a new public. Our digital",
"numbers have rocketed. Our athletes are not just",
"performing for the family any more, they are",
"performing for the world.\" All of that will be",
"taken to the table by Haya's successor -- six",
"candidates have come forward -- the next time the",
"IOC calls on its constituent sports to fight for",
"their future. Haya believes the IOC is most",
"likely to look at removing one discipline from a",
"large sport in order to accommodate a new,",
"smaller sport in Tokyo and beyond. She thinks the",
"FEI's battle lies in protecting its three Olympic",
"disciplines of dressage, showjumping and",
"eventing. Not that the Olympic disciplines have",
"always dominated Haya's eight years at the FEI's",
"helm. Endurance racing, a lower-profile form of",
"equestrian sport immensely popular in the Middle",
"East, has provided the biggest threat to her",
"presidency. The sport, in which horses can race a",
"hundred miles in a day, has been troubled by a",
"succession of doping scandals and concerns over",
"animal welfare given the immense distance",
"involved. Haya's position was called into",
"question when her husband -- an endurance racing",
"champion, an influential horse breeder and also",
"the ruler of Dubai -- received a six-month doping",
"ban in 2009. She has since been accused of",
"failing to vigorously pursue perceived",
"shortcomings in the discipline's approach to the",
"wellbeing of horses. Haya, who handed oversight",
"of endurance sport to colleagues over the",
"conflict of interest involving her husband, says",
"the issues are now being \"managed very well\" by",
"the FEI. \"The sport has mainly come under",
"criticism -- or the FEI has -- because it hasn't",
"moved fast enough,\" she admits. \"But on the other",
"side of that, there are processes and procedures",
"put in place for a good reason. \"You can't have a",
"knee-jerk reaction. You have to go through a",
"period of dialogue and examine the situation from",
"every side. They have been strong enough to do",
"that and I think they've done everything they can",
"to protect the horses, and the integrity of the",
"sport.\" For her part, Haya says she wishes she",
"had \"had a lighter hand in some situations\" in",
"the earlier days of her time in charge. And as",
"regards her unusual position as a leading woman",
"in world sport, she believes examining gender",
"equity only in the highest echelons of power",
"means searching in the wrong place. \"I think a",
"lot is done to help women get to these positions",
"but for me, what is missing is the avenue to come",
"up through the grassroots,\" she says. \"For me it",
"was easy. I had my career as an athlete, I rode",
"in an Olympic Games, then I had interaction with",
"the national federations. I understood how it",
"worked, and I went through a pathway. \"What's",
"missing is that opportunity for women at",
"grassroots level in other sports. While you had",
"the opportunities at the top, there is still very",
"much a vacuum in between. \"I think in many ways",
"it's harmful that we have this permanent crusade,",
"that we 'have to have women.' It makes it sound",
"like you got the job because you're a woman,",
"rather than being able to do the job properly.",
"\"There's a big difference between a person who",
"merits doing the job and happens to be a woman,",
"and one who gets the job just because she is.\"",
"The FEI's vote to replace Haya in three months'",
"time will determine the sport's course for at",
"least the next four years. With organizations",
"associated with the Middle East accounting for a",
"number of equestrianism's major backers, brought",
"in through Haya and her connections, there is",
"uncertainty as to how the financial future will",
"pan out if and when her influence wanes. She,",
"however, has already promised herself more time",
"for two other interests in her life. In a",
"statement turning down the chance to stand for a",
"third term, the mother-of-two listed first her",
"family and then humanitarian work, in Gaza, as",
"her new priorities. \"I felt the president should",
"only have an eight-year term and I still feel",
"that is important,\" says Haya, who had at one",
"time announced her intent to seek a third term --",
"a move some considered \"undemocratic\" despite a",
"majority of national federations backing the",
"necessary rule changes. \"As president, you have",
"to do a 12-hour day, it's a full-time job, and",
"it's only really possible to do that for eight",
"years until you do run out of ideas,\" she says.",
"\"The sport is bigger than any international",
"federation ever will be. Sometimes, you get the",
"feeling the world revolves around you. I've",
"always known that if we stop, the sport never",
"will. It's worth knowing that.\""

By . Jack Doyle . PUBLISHED: . 18:07 EST, 26 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 18:08 EST, 26 April 2013 . British taxpayers are to fund a prison building programme in poor countries such as Nigeria and Jamaica so more foreign inmates languishing in British jails can be sent home, David Cameron announced yesterday. The Prime Minister admitted that too many foreign prisoners remained in this country and said ‘helping to build prisons in their own country’ would ensure more were kicked out. Despite promises to cut the number of foreign inmates behind bars in Britain, the numbers have increased in recent years. David Cameron argued that helping improve prisons abroad could mean that more foreign prisoners in the UK can be sent back home . Ministers have struggled to remove even hardened criminals because jails abroad are overflowing or do not comply with human rights laws. By paying for building new jails or making existing ones more ‘comfortable’ so they approach British standards it is hoped more will be repatriated. But sending money abroad to lock up prisoners there, in addition to the billions spent in foreign aid, while budgets are being cut at home, will prove highly controversial. Mr Cameron made his comments during a ‘Cameron Direct’ event on the local elections campaign trail in Carlisle. He said: ‘When people are sent to prison in the UK we should do everything we can to make sure that if they’re foreign nationals, they are sent back to their country to serve their sentence in a foreign prison. ‘And I’m taking action in Government to say look we have strong relationships with all of the countries where these people come from. ‘Many are coming from Jamaica, many from Nigeria, many from other countries in Asia. (Stock image) Prisons in poorer countries can fail to meet human rights standards and can be overcrowded . ‘We should be using all of the influence we have to sign prisoner transfer agreements with those countries. Even if necessary frankly helping them to build prisons in their own country so we can send the prisoners home. ‘I’m going to be setting out a programme of how we do that, country by country by country. Because it is not good enough, the situation we have in Britain today.’ Since 2010 there has been a sharp fall in the number of serious criminals sent home. That year, 5,342 were deported. The following year - the first full 12 months of coalition Government - the figure was down 13 per cent to 4,649. In the first nine months of 2012 some 3,382 were deported - suggesting the annual total would fall even further. There are now 10,861 foreign inmates in British jails, who now make up around 14 per cent of the prison population. Each costs an average of around £40,000 a year to keep inside. Entire prisons have been handed over to the immigration estate to keep inside prolific offenders after the end of their sentence, and every month around 110 are released out on to the streets. More than two years ago Mr Cameron pledged to ‘intervene personally’ in the issue, but there has been little progress. There are more prisoners from Jamaica (pictured) than any other foreign nationality, followed by Poland and Ireland. This week the Mail revealed hundreds of foreign criminals could be given cautions instead of jail if they agree to leave the country for at least five years. Yesterday Mr Cameron hailed a transfer agreement with EU countries designed to send more home. He said that as a result of the deal ‘those prisoners should be sent back to the country of their origin to serve out their sentence in prison therefore taking the cost away from us.’ But the Mail revealed that as of December last year, not a single inmate from another EU country has been sent back to their homeland. Risibly, the two countries with the most inmates in Britain - Poland and Ireland - were given opt-outs by the previous Labour government. And Britain has been sent two prisoners by other countries - meaning the deal has actually increased our ‘United Nations’ prison population. Jamaicans top the nationality table, with 900 last year, followed by Poland on 750, and Ireland 737. There are 594 Nigerians. Britain should be able to say ‘good bye’ to Abu Qatada as a result of a deal with Jordan, David Cameron said yesterday. And the PM did not rule out leaving the European Court of Human Rights to ensure the radical cleric can be removed. He said: ‘He should be in Jordan. We’ve got an agreement with the Jordanians that he’ll be properly treated. ‘We should now be able to say good bye to Abu Qatada.’ | Taxpayers will fund prisons in poorer countries such as Nigeria .

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Managing expenses on the road doesn't have to be a struggle, even in the most expensive city in the world. And what Oslo loses in costliness, it easily makes up with nature. The city sits on the innermost part of the Oslo Fjord, with forested hills, more than 40 islands and 343 lakes. For the best views catch a ferry from Vippetangen. Or better still take a cruise. The Oslo Pass, that provides access to 33 museums as well as free travel on public transport, also offers a free lunch cruise on board a traditional wooden sailing ship. You get a Norwegian prawn buffet as part of the deal and two-hour trip around the city's islands and lakes. Boats leave at 10.30, 13.00 and 15.30. (http://www.norwayyachtcharter.com/). Oslo's most visited site is Vigeland Park that houses more than 200 huge, some say Rodin-esque, sculptures by celebrated Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland. The park is 2km from the city center and it's open seven days a week. It's also free. Other free museums and attractions include the Nasjonalgalleriet with one of the original series of Edvard Munch's The Scream; the Astrup Fearnley museum for modern art with its own Damien Hirst; and the botanical gardens. To reward a day's cost cutting, and for the best sunset in town, try a seafood platter at restaurant, Solsiden (Søndre Akershus Kai 34, phone 23-33-36-30). It may not be the cheapest spot in town, but the evening sunset is worth the extra cost. The restaurant opens onto a pier looking over the Aker Brygge complex, a former shipyard area and now a hub for restaurants and bars. But this is a summer spot only, and closes between September and April. | For the best views of Oslo Fjord catch a lunch cruise on a wooden sailing ship .

By . Caroline Graham . Last updated at 7:09 PM on 23rd October 2011 . Inked: Jessica Donaldson who has been linked to Prince Harry . She is the Kate Middleton lookalike who is said to have been caught canoodling with Prince Harry in San Diego. But as this photograph shows, cocktail waitress Jessica Donaldson, 26, isn't quite do similar to the regal duchess. The gorgeous brunette was snapped on a night out in a revealing white bikini top - showing off a huge tattoo covering the side of her midriff. While the rumours about the two persist, Jessica broke her silence to say: ‘He is a real-life Prince Charming.’ She added that she is ‘way flattered’ at suggestions that she resembles the Duchess of Cambridge – and called Harry ‘a total English gentleman’ - but denied reports of an affair. Jessica, who met Harry in the VIP area of the San Diego nightclub where she works as a ‘bottle girl’, said: ‘I am speaking out now because I want people to know the truth. 'I am not sleeping with Prince Harry and he has never been anything other than a total gentleman to me. ‘I am very upset that all this has blown up. He is just a regular guy who enjoys a few beers with his buddies. 'He’s . really cool and down-to-earth and that’s what I liked about him. I’m . flattered he showed me attention but there is nothing more to it than . that.’ Yet despite her protestations – and . with her burly boyfriend in the room with her – she becomes upset when . asked to explain photos on an American gossip website last week that . appear to show the pair kissing. Shaking . her head, she bursts into tears and runs from the room. Later, after . being comforted by her boyfriend, she says: ‘This is so hard and . difficult. I didn’t want any of this.’ Jessica, . known as ‘Jes’, said Harry entered the Ivy nightclub at the five-star . Andaz hotel in downtown San Diego on Friday, October 7. ‘His people called ahead and said . there was a VIP person coming with about 20 friends and could we secure . an area of the club for him. ‘I . had no idea the VIP was Prince Harry until he walked in. We are used to . seeing celebrities here like local sports stars and Johnny Knoxville . [star of MTV’s Jackass] but when Harry walked in, it was, “Wow!” ’ Jessica’s job as a bottle girl is to sell bottles of Belvedere and Absolut vodka with mixers for £350 a table. She said: ‘You buy a table and for that you get a bottle of vodka, some . mixers and soft drinks. You also get to stand in the VIP area. Our job . is to bring in rich guys who want to meet hot girls. The more bottles . you sell, the more you earn on commission. ‘Harry was with a big group, mostly . guys. There were quite a few security men with him. I waited on his . table and he was charming and chatty but he was charming to all the . girls. 'He paid for two of the bottles and his friend paid for a third. Harry started off drinking Stella but went on to vodka.’ The Prince’s group moved to a poolside cabana where they watched a Rugby World Cup match. At the end of the night, a man she believed was one of the Prince’s bodyguards, called Mark, asked for her number. ‘He said Harry would like to invite me and another girl, my friend Christie, for brunch the next day.’ Party boy: Prince Harry leaving the Andaz hotel in San Diego where he met Jessica . The girls met the Prince and four friends at a beachside cafe called Pipes the following day. ‘We hung out, had breakfast, talked, and I thought how cool it was to be with an English Prince. Harry had scrambled eggs. ‘Then we went to a Mexican restaurant and drank cocktails in the sun. Harry drank fruity cocktails and ate chips and salsa. He was joking about the weather and how much better it was than in England.’ Harry, who is on an Apache helicopter training course in El Centro, a two-hour drive from San Diego, had his friend text Jessica again last Saturday to invite her to the VIP area of the Belly Up Tavern in Solano Beach, a 20-minute drive along the coast from San Diego. Happier times: Jessica poses with a friend at the Ivy Nightclub at Andaz. She was upset at pictures which appeared to show her and Prince Harry kissing . The pair listened to a live band and danced. It was during this evening that photographers snapped the couple allegedly embracing. The Mail on Sunday has independently learned that Harry spent the night in Suite 202 at the nearby £70-a-night Marriott Courtyard in Solano Beach. Together: Jessica with her boyfriend of three years Brandon Thomason. Sales manager Cassie Smith said: ‘We had no idea he was coming. He arrived with his friends and checked in at the front desk like anyone else. We have now renamed his room the Royal Suite.’ Multiple sources at the hotel claimed to have seen a brunette fitting Jessica’s description arrive alone by taxi in the early hours. The woman was seen leaving around 6am. A night manager at the hotel yesterday looked at a photo of Jessica and said: ‘Yes, that is definitely her.’ But Jessica, who lives with her boyfriend of three years, nightclub promoter Brandon Thomason, 28, said yesterday: ‘No, no, that wasn’t me. It must have been another girl. I am sure Harry has lots of girls.’ Mr Thomason said: ‘When I first saw the pictures of Jes with Harry I talked to her and she assured me that nothing went on. She told me they didn’t kiss and I believe her. 'She said he leaned in to talk to her and it was just the angle of the camera that made it look like a kiss. ‘Jes wants to set the record straight. Harry might have been with a girl but it wasn’t Jes. If I didn’t believe her, I wouldn’t be here now.’ Jessica added: ‘Harry is so sweet. He was kind of goofy with me. I really like him but I have a boyfriend. I just want all this to go away.’ Top gun: Prince Harry stands in front of an Apache helicopter during his training in the US . | Jessica describes Harry as a 'sweet' and 'regular guy'

Gordon Brown, pictured, has 'no plans' to quit Parliament amid rumours he may step down in 2015. He is pictured here attending the Nelson Mandela Memorial Service, at Westminster Abbey in London in March . Former prime minister Gordon Brown 'will remain' an MP amid speculation that he could stand down as early as next year. Since leaving No 10 Mr Brown has combined his job as a constituency MP with acting as the UN special envoy for global education. Reports have suggested that he would stand down from the Commons at the general election in 2015. But Mr Brown's office said the former Labour leader remained an MP and had 'no plans to make any announcement to the contrary'. His spokesman said Mr Brown was playing an 'active role' campaigning for Scotland to vote No in September's independence referendum. Responding to the claim he would leave the Commons next year, the spokesman said: 'So many people have tried to write this story on so many occasions with no facts. 'Mr Brown has just announced he is playing an active role in the referendum for United with Labour. 'He is giving a major speech next Tuesday and will be delivering a series of lectures on Scotland's future, the dates of which will be announced shortly. 'He is, and will remain, Member of Parliament for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath and he has no plans to make any announcement to the contrary.' Last year Mr Brown described himself as an 'ex-politician'. Taking part in a panel discussion at an education summit in Qatar, Mr Brown was asked his views 'as a politician', at which point he interjected "ex-politician".

By . Victoria Woollaston . This tram wouldn’t look out of place in Gotham City, but instead it is destined to transport visitors around Russia during the 2018 World Cup. The Russia One (R1) tram prototype was designed by tank and train maker Uralvagonzavod (UVZ) and is fitted with Wi-Fi, GPS, seven HD-CCTV cameras, air-conditioning, anti-bacterial handrails. The tram can hold between 190 and 270 passengers and travels at an average speed of 14mph (24 km/h). This tram wouldn’t look out of place in Gotham City, but instead it is destined to transport visitors around Russia during the 2018 World Cup . The R1 tram, officially known as the 71-410 car, was unveiled during the Innoprom 2014 conference in Ekaterinburg. It was based on UVZ’s current 71-409 model car, but with improved performance and a completely new exterior and interior design. Alexey Maslov, chief executive of UVZ, described the train as a crystal in a metal shell and an 'iPhone on rails' designed to fit into any landscape.

We compete with world leaders such as Alstom (France) and Bombardier (Canada), keeping in mind their latest designs.’ While R1 is still a prototype, Mr Maslov claims that they could begin mass production next year. These trams are expected to run in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhy Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Volgograd. There is also a plan to develop a new tram that will run underground, using a similar concept to R1. ‘Putting aside false modesty, I can say that we are at least within the competition. It’s a project of a great rarity for Russian market,' said Mr Maslov.

The stepmother of one of the two girls accused of cyber-bullying a 12-year-old teen to suicide has been arrested for child abuse after a video emerged of her joining in on a two young boys fighting. Vivian Vosburg, 30, of Lakeland, FL., was arrested after a video of her punching two fighting children and screaming profanities allegedly emerged on Facebook. Ms Vosburg is the stepmother of 14-year-old cyber-bullying suspect Guadalupe Shaw. Shaw and Katelyn Roman, 12, have been accused by officials of cyber-bullying Rebecca Sedwick, 12, to the point she committed suicide by jumping from a tower at a concrete plant. Scroll down for video . Mother of the year: Vivian Vosburg, mother of accused cyber-bullier Guadalupe Shaw, is brought in to the Polk County Jail Booking area after being arrested for punching two fighting juveniles . Accused: Katelyn Roman, 12, left, and Guadalupe Shaw, 14, right, were arrested and charged with aggravated stalking in connection with the death of Rebecca Sedwick . Booked: Ms Vosburg is currently sitting in Polk County Jail . Bedlam: These two stills from the video showing the fight depict a chaotic scene . 'The video was of two juvenile subjects fighting, an adult female punching the fighting juveniles and screaming profanities,' said an affidavit from the Polk County Sheriff's Office. There were 'several other juveniles shouting profanities and moving around in what appears to be a bedroom of a residence.' Six minors between the ages of nine and 14-years-old were also seen in the video, the affidavit said. Ms Vosburg has access to all of the children seen in the video, the affidavit continued. The children fighting in the video are two boys, but several other children are watching the fight. The video was posted to Facebook in July and was visible as recently as Friday morning, the affidavit noted. 'It is clear, not only has Vosburg demonstrated she cannot control the behavior of children she has access to without using violence, but she is obviously not monitoring the social media sites of children she has access to either,' said Sheriff Grady Judd. Ms Vosburg has claimed in media interviews that Ms Shaw is her daughter, but she is apparently the teen's stepmother. 'She says she is the mother, but we are finding out the relationship is different,' Polk County spokesperson Donna Wood told MailOnline. It is not clear where the troubled teens biological mother is, nor is it known how long Ms Vosburg has been with the girl's father. Ms Vosburg's daughter was arrested for cyber-stalking after allegedly posting a heartless Facebook post mocking the dead girl's suicide leap. 'Yes IK [I know] I bullied REBECCA nd [sic] she killed her self but IDGAF [I don't give a f***],' Ms Shaw allegedly posted . Rebecca was 'terrorized' by . as many as 15 girls who ganged up on her and picked on her for months . through online message boards and texts. She jumped to her death from a tower at an abandoned concrete plant on September 10. Judd said they decided to arrest Shaw after she posted the message on Saturday. 'We decided that we can't leave her out there. Who else is she going to torment, who else is she going to harass?' he said. Roman was Rebecca's former best friend, but Judd said the . 14-year-old turned her against Rebecca. Other girls also stopped . being friends with her in fear of being bullied, the sheriff said. Missed: Rebecca Sedwick took her own life after being relentlessly bullied . 'Several students corroborated stories of both girls bullying Sedwick on . different occasions, through name-calling, intimidation, threats to beat . her up, and at least one actual physical fight,' the sheriff said today. He warned parents in a news conference today: 'Watch what your children do online. Pay attention to what your kids are doing. Quit being their best friend and be their best parent.' Roman and Shaw were . arrested on Monday night and detained at the county's juvenile center . before being released to their parents, the Orlando Sentinel reports. They were charged with felony aggravated stalking. It is believed the bullying started when Shaw started dating Rebecca's ex-boyfriend. Witnesses told investigators she sent messages to Rebecca, calling her ugly, telling her to 'drink bleach and die', and encouraging her to kill herself. Sedwick's computer searches revealed she had searched for ways to commit suicide and asked questions like, 'What is overweight for a 13-year-old girl' . One of the Florida girl's screensavers also showed Rebecca with her head resting on a railroad track. She changed one of her online screen names to 'That Dead Girl.' She messaged a boy: 'I'm jumping.' Devastated: Rebecca Ann Sedwick, 12, pictured with her mother Tricia Norman, is believed to have jumped from an abandoned cement silo . Tragic loss: Rebecca with her sister Amy . Aftermath: Rebecca's sister Summer (left) and a friend sign a poster after her death. Two people have now been arrested in connection with the bullying . Polk County Sheriff Judd said Rebecca had been 'absolutely terrorized' by the other girls. 'We can see from what we've been investigating so far that Rebecca wasn't attacking back,' Judd said. 'She . appeared to be beat down. She appeared to have a defeatist attitude. And quite frankly, the entire investigation is exceptionally . disturbing.' Even when her mother took Rebecca out of school, the bullying was carried out online. The bullying started . over a boy last year at Crystal Lake Middle School and at one point she . was suspended for fighting with another student - believed to be Roman. Last December, . Rebecca was hospitalized for three days after cutting her wrists because . of what she said was bullying, according to the sheriff. 'When . she was being bullied at Crystal Lake Middle, she used to come home . every day and tell me how she wasn’t worth anything, that she was ugly, . how she was stupid,' her mother Tricia Norman said after her death. 'And . I said, ''Baby what on earth would make you think that? You’re the most . beautiful person I know and the smartest person I know.''' Bullied: Rebecca was withdrawn from her . elementary school after being bullied and was home schooled by her mother Tricia (right) who says her daughter's death should be a warning to all parents to be vigilant . Tributes: Flowers, candles and messages are left out in memory of 12-year-old Rebecca . Later, after Rebecca . complained that she had been pushed in the hallway and that another girl . wanted to fight her, Rebecca's mother began home-schooling her, Judd . said. This fall, Rebecca . started at a new school, Lawton Chiles Middle Academy, and loved it, . Judd said. But the bullying continued online. 'She put on a perfect, happy face. She never told me,' Tricia Norman told the Lakeland Ledger. 'I never had a clue. I mean, she told me last year when she was being bullied, but not this year, and I have no idea why.' Once . police checked her cell phone they discovered that the bullying had not . stopped, especially on Kik Messenger, Instagram and Ask.fm. 'They would tell her she's ugly, stupid, nobody liked her go kill herself," Ms Norman said. She has started a Facebook page to try to fight back against online bullies, called Rebecca Sedwick Against Bullying. Ms Norman told 10 News she was inspired to start it after reading her daughter's journal. In . it, Rebecca had written: 'Every day more and more kids kill themselves . because of bullying. How many lives have to be lost until people realize . words do matter?' Ms Norman . wants online bullies to face harsher consequences, and begged other . young victims to stay strong and seek help, adding: 'Don't ever give up, . like Becca did.' | Vivian Vosburg, 30, the stepmother of Guadalupe Shaw, 14, has been arrested for child abuse .

Carol Russell, a 46-year-old clerical assistant from Birmingham, hasn’t been able to kiss her children for over five years. A constant burning pain in her chin and the right side of her face means the devoted mother has had to avoid any kind of close physical contact with her loved ones. What compounds Carol’s distress is that it was a routine operation to extract a wisdom tooth that left her in this state. Carol Russell, 46, from Birmingham, was left with permanent nerve damage after several operations on her wisdom teeth that left her in agony for six years. She has since received compensation from South Birmingham Primary Care Trust . During the procedure six years ago, the dentist damaged the inferior dental nerve, which provides sensation to the lip and chin. ‘It has been an absolutely horrendous time,’ says Carol. ‘I’m in pain all the time. I find eating really difficult and the worst thing is that I can’t bear contact anywhere near my face including hugging and kissing.’ That means her daughter Laura, 27, son Richard, 24, and her partner, Glenn, can’t go near her. She says: ‘I’ve been on ever-increasing doses of painkillers and none has worked. The only way I get any temporary relief is with a pain patch on my chin.’ This contains drugs that seep into the skin and block pain. ‘But it has to stay on at least 12 hours a day to have any effect.’ The problem is that wisdom teeth can lie very close to the inferior dental nerve, explains St John Crean, professor of medicine in dentistry at the University of Central Lancashire. He says damage can be avoided if ‘a decent enough X-ray is given before the procedure goes ahead’. He points out: ‘It’s not enough for a dentist to give an internal X-ray in the mouth as that only shows a small area — it needs to be a good panoramic one. Even then, if the dentist is even slightly unsure of where this nerve lies, they need to refer the patient to a specialised dental surgeon who should take a CT scan before going ahead.’ Wisdom teeth, found at the back of the mouth, are the last four teeth to come through — usually in our late teens or early 20s. There isn’t always room for them to grow, so they can emerge at an angle or only partially break through - when they are described as ‘impacted’. Food and bacteria can become trapped around the tooth, causing a build-up of plaque, and decay and infection. Problems can occur years after the teeth have erupted. Wisdom teeth extraction is one of the most common procedures carried out in the UK. In England alone, 63,000 are extracted each year in NHS hospitals . Wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most common procedures carried out in the UK - in England alone, 63,000 are extracted each year in NHS hospitals. Yet it is a potentially complex operation, carrying the risk of nerve damage, infection and bleeding. Under guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, ‘only patients who have diseased wisdom teeth, or other problems with their mouth, should have their wisdom teeth removed’. Dentists don’t need specialist training to perform an extraction but some prefer to refer patients to a specialist oral or dental surgeon. Carol’s problems began after she suffered several minor infections in her lower right jaw over a two-and-a-half year period. Her dentist suggested a wisdom tooth was the cause and referred her to a hospital dental surgeon in October 2008. An X-ray confirmed the problem and the following month the tooth was removed. But almost immediately afterwards, it was clear something was very wrong. ‘For three days my face was a balloon, and I had this terrible pressure,’ Carol recalls. While the swelling subsided, ‘as the days went by I felt this throbbing pain building in my face and chin’. Despite repeated visits to the hospital over the next few months, Carol was told her symptoms were normal — and was given increasing doses of pain relief. ‘It was getting impossible to do anything normal and I begged for help. I could even feel pain if I brushed cotton wool against my face. Yet all the time I was told things would be fine.’ Finally, in May 2009, she had surgery for what she was told was a damaged nerve. It left her in agony for three weeks, with a bruised and battered-looking face. ‘It was the most awful time, I couldn’t work and lived on painkillers,’ she says. Then in May 2010, nearly 18 months after the extraction, Carol had an operation to remove scar tissue, which was thought to be compounding the pain. But this made no difference, and she was told the nerve damage was permanent. Carol, pictured here, has received £15,000 from South Birmingham Primary Care Trust but she says she would give it all back to be rid of the pain she still suffers . ‘I was devastated. I just couldn’t believe all this was happening to me,’ she says. She went back to her dentist, who referred her to a different NHS . surgeon — he said she should have had a CT scan at the start; this would . have revealed how close the teeth were to the nerve, and a different . procedure could have been offered. It’s . a depressingly familiar scenario, says Luke Cascarini, a consultant . oral surgeon at BMI The Sloane Hospital and the North-West London NHS . Hospital Trust. ‘If . the nerve is too close then the patient should have a coronectomy — . where we remove the crown, but leave the root, preventing damage to . associated nerves.’ There . is also a question of whether extraction is advisable, especially as we . age. As Dr Jeremy Hill, of The Ware Centre of Dental Excellence in . Hertfordshire, says: ‘If a patient has them taken out in their late . teens then the jawbones are still quite flexible, which makes extraction . easier. 'But by their 30s or 40s, the jawbone has matured so it’s a lot . more difficult.’ Becky Dickinson found this out in January, when her dentist yanked out her wisdom tooth. The mother-of-three from Addlestone, Surrey, had been told she needed the procedure because her wisdom tooth was impacted, and had probably caused a couple of minor infections. ‘I was given a local anaesthetic, but the dentist just couldn’t seem to get the tooth out. He was pulling and tugging and I could feel the most intense pressure. ‘In the end he had to chisel into the bone. My head felt like it was going to explode and the nurse had to hold me still. I was terrified.’ Once the tooth was out, over the next few days Becky, 40, was in so much pain she ended up in A&E. She was diagnosed with dry socket, where a blood clot fails to develop in the tooth socket — which affects 5 to 10 per cent of patients. This . exposes the nerve, causing unbearable pain. ‘There was nothing that . could be done other than let the tissue heal over the nerve,’ recalls . Becky. ‘I lived on painkillers for three months. 'My children are only . one, four and seven and it was so hard to do anything. I couldn’t sleep . because of the pain.‘Yet no one told me it could be like this, or . set out the pros and cons before the procedure. I’d been made to feel . wisdom teeth were a breeze.’ It’s . important to make sure you need the operation, stresses Mr Cascarini. ‘With problems such as repeated infections, it may well be that removing . them is necessary. Wisdom teeth, found at the back of the mouth, are the last four teeth to come through ¿ usually in our late teens or early 20s. There isn't always room for them to grow, so they can emerge at an angle or only partially break through - when they are described as 'impacted' 'However, . sometimes they are blamed unnecessarily when the teeth start to overlap . at the front. Some dentists believe it’s because they’re being pushed . by wisdom teeth — even if the teeth are deeply buried and there’s no . sign of decay. It’s far more likely that this overlapping is caused by . “anterior drift”, a movement of the teeth which is simply part of the . ageing process.’ Mr Cascarini also says you need to ask how many of these extractions your dentist does a month. ‘I do ten a week and have done for 20 years. It needs to be done by someone with experience. And don’t be afraid to ask the dentist how long they take — even a complex tooth shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes — and how near to the nerve the wisdom tooth lies.’ Carol has since has received £15,000 from South Birmingham Primary Care Trust after the Dental Law Partnership negotiated an out- of-court settlement. Yet she says she would give it all back to be rid of the pain she still suffers. ‘I just wish I’d never had my wisdom teeth out. Whatever they were trying to resolve is nothing like the complications I have now.’ | Without proper scans of teeth, there is a danger of permanent nerve damage .

"Carol Russell, a 46-year-old clerical assistant",
"from Birmingham, hasn’t been able to kiss her",
"children for over five years. A constant burning",
"pain in her chin and the right side of her face",
"means the devoted mother has had to avoid any",
"kind of close physical contact with her loved",
"ones. What compounds Carol’s distress is that it",
"was a routine operation to extract a wisdom tooth",
"that left her in this state. Carol Russell, 46,",
"from Birmingham, was left with permanent nerve",
"damage after several operations on her wisdom",
"teeth that left her in agony for six years. She",
"has since received compensation from South",
"Birmingham Primary Care Trust . During the",
"procedure six years ago, the dentist damaged the",
"inferior dental nerve, which provides sensation",
"to the lip and chin. ‘It has been an absolutely",
"horrendous time,’ says Carol. ‘I’m in pain all",
"the time. I find eating really difficult and the",
"worst thing is that I can’t bear contact anywhere",
"near my face including hugging and kissing.’ That",
"means her daughter Laura, 27, son Richard, 24,",
"and her partner, Glenn, can’t go near her. She",
"says: ‘I’ve been on ever-increasing doses of",
"painkillers and none has worked. The only way I",
"get any temporary relief is with a pain patch on",
"my chin.’ This contains drugs that seep into the",
"skin and block pain. ‘But it has to stay on at",
"least 12 hours a day to have any effect.’ The",
"problem is that wisdom teeth can lie very close",
"to the inferior dental nerve, explains St John",
"Crean, professor of medicine in dentistry at the",
"University of Central Lancashire. He says damage",
"can be avoided if ‘a decent enough X-ray is given",
"before the procedure goes ahead’. He points out:",
"‘It’s not enough for a dentist to give an",
"internal X-ray in the mouth as that only shows a",
"small area — it needs to be a good panoramic one.",
"Even then, if the dentist is even slightly unsure",
"of where this nerve lies, they need to refer the",
"patient to a specialised dental surgeon who",
"should take a CT scan before going ahead.’ Wisdom",

"for them to grow, so they can emerge at an angle",
"or only partially break through - when they are",

"become trapped around the tooth, causing a",
"build-up of plaque, and decay and infection.",

"damage, infection and bleeding. Under guidelines",
"from the National Institute for Health and Care",
"Excellence, ‘only patients who have diseased",
"wisdom teeth, or other problems with their mouth,",
"should have their wisdom teeth removed’. Dentists",
"don’t need specialist training to perform an",
"extraction but some prefer to refer patients to a",
"specialist oral or dental surgeon. Carol’s",
"problems began after she suffered several minor",
"infections in her lower right jaw over a",
"two-and-a-half year period. Her dentist suggested",
"a wisdom tooth was the cause and referred her to",
"a hospital dental surgeon in October 2008. An",
"X-ray confirmed the problem and the following",
"month the tooth was removed. But almost",
"immediately afterwards, it was clear something",
"was very wrong. ‘For three days my face was a",
"balloon, and I had this terrible pressure,’ Carol",
"recalls. While the swelling subsided, ‘as the",
"days went by I felt this throbbing pain building",
"in my face and chin’. Despite repeated visits to",
"the hospital over the next few months, Carol was",
"told her symptoms were normal — and was given",
"increasing doses of pain relief. ‘It was getting",
"impossible to do anything normal and I begged",
"for help. I could even feel pain if I brushed",
"cotton wool against my face. Yet all the time I",
"was told things would be fine.’ Finally, in May",
"2009, she had surgery for what she was told was a",
"damaged nerve. It left her in agony for three",
"weeks, with a bruised and battered-looking face.",

Hong Kong (CNN) -- Wearing aviator sunglasses and a selection of thigh-high tights and frilly skirts, 72-year-old Liu Qianping has caused quite a stir in China. In the past few weeks, images of the former farmer from Hunan province have appeared on Taobao, the Chinese version of eBay, marketing clothes for Yecoo, a business set up by his granddaughter Lv Ting and four of her friends. Lv told CNN she invited her grandfather to visit her in the southern province of Guangzhou earlier this month, and while unpacking boxes of clothes to sell, he pulled out -- and slipped on -- a hot pink cloak. Struck by how well he wore it, a friend assembled some amateur lighting and starting taking photos that were later posted online. There's Liu in a white tights, a pink skirt and a fur-lined red polka dot coat. In other images, he's posing demurely in bright green leggings, clutching a handbag and wearing a layered pink shawl. Sometime he wears a wig, sometimes not, but the aviator glasses are always present. Liu has attracted a lot of attention on Weibo, China's version of Twitter.

"My grandfather is happier than before, he enjoys being interviewed; he calls our relatives at our hometown about his experiences here in the city," she said. Liu's fame has also translated into higher sales for the fledgling company, which only launched in May. Sales have surged fivefold since his image appeared on the site, an unforeseen benefit according to Lv, who says the photos were just taken for fun. "I wasn't intended to raise the sales.

A compensation settlement will need to be agreed for Solskjaer, with the 41-year-old said to have been appointed on a staggering £4million a year when he was lured to Wales from Molde in January. The terms of his ‘rolling contract’ are understood to have been reduced after the club were relegated last season. Despite the club’s relegation as the Premier League’s bottom club — Cardiff were 17th when his predecessor Malky Mackay was sacked — Tan was determined to stick with Solskjaer, though it was made clear that promotion in this campaign was the only acceptable target.

In all, Cardiff have won only five of their 25 league matches under Solskjaer. The poor results come in spite of vast investment in the squad, with Tan having spent roughly £16m on 17 new players since Solskjaer took over and permitting Dalman to sign off on one of the division’s biggest wage bills. But Solskjaer has consistently given off the impression that he does not know his best line-up, having kept an unchanged side only once in league fixtures.

San Francisco, California (CNN) -- Just after Apple CEO Steve Jobs debuted the next version of his company's iPhone to the world, the tech luminary had a bit of technical trouble. "Well jeez," Jobs said, struggling to get the spanking new iPhone 4 to do much of anything without a connection to a Wi-Fi network. The technical faux pas came during Jobs' keynote address at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, California. At one point, Jobs turned toward the audience and seemed to ask a question of one of his technical directors: "Got any suggestions?" he asked. "Verizon!" shouted an audience member, in reference to the fact that AT&T, the sole cellular network that carriers the Apple iPhone, gets notoriously bad reception in San Francisco. Many tech bloggers and writers have called for Apple to open the iPhone to other networks, including Verizon Wireless. That didn't happen on Monday. The new iPhone will remain an AT&T-only device. It goes on sale on June 24 to AT&T customers for $199 or $299, depending on the amount of storage. Any AT&T customer eligible for a phone upgrade this year can get the iPhone 4 on its debut date at those subsidized prices, Jobs said. After the event, tech industry analysts warned against reading too much into the network glitches during Jobs' presentation. But, if nothing else, they do symbolize the growing frustration some phone consumers have over the lack of choice among wireless carriers. In a recent interview, for instance, Kevin Tofel, a blogger in the GigaOm network, said it is smartest for consumers to pick a wireless carrier first, rather than get the coolest phone. Otherwise, they're buying an "expensive brick," he said. Analysts said Jobs was having trouble connecting to a Wi-Fi network during his presentation, not AT&T's troubled 3G network. "It's Wi-Fi," said Carolina Milanesi, research director for mobile devices at Gartner. "You had so many people in there using Wi-Fi. I didn't read too much into it." Of AT&T, she laughed and said, "It's not always their fault." Van Baker, research vice-president for Gartner, said the "Verizon!" comment from the audience was "totally unfair ... because it's not going over the 3G network." Jobs eventually resolved the issue himself. In a joking yet stern tone, he asked reporters and conference attendees to stop using Wi-Fi networks so that he could finish the presentation. Some 570 Wi-Fi stations were clogging up the connection he needed to complete the presentation, he said. If the attendees didn't comply, he said, he would simply not be able to show off the rest of the iPhone 4's new features, including its higher-resolution screen, improved camera and video chat functionality -- which, by the way, is only available over Wi-Fi. | Apple CEO Steve Jobs has internet trouble during a presentation .

By . Chris Brooke . PUBLISHED: . 03:54 EST, 26 July 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 19:26 EST, 26 July 2012 . A smiling Josef Kazzan, 9, who has died in a tragic accident in his garden in Cleckheaton, West Yorks . A nine-year-old boy died after he accidentally hanged himself on a play rope in his garden. It is thought Josef Kazzan – known as Joe – was climbing the rope tied to a large tree when he slipped and his neck became trapped in a loop at the bottom. Joe’s parents told yesterday how they found him caught in the rope and pulled him down to resuscitate him. Paramedics managed to restart his heart but he died in hospital two days later. His mother Rachel Cullen, 43, said the family has been left ‘broken’ by Joe’s death. They had been to church on the morning of Sunday, July 15, and were having lunch. But Joe wanted to play outside because of the good weather. Miss Cullen said: ‘Joe loved playing in the garden, but it had been raining for weeks, so as soon as the sun came out he was desperate to play outside.’ The full-time mother of three, of Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, said she was looking after Joe’s brother Sam, five, when she went to check on him. ‘I’m the sort of mum who’s always worrying about where my kids are, what they’re doing,’ she said. ‘I wondered where Joe had gone. It must have only been about five minutes since I saw him. I was looking around the house for him.’ She went out to the front gate and caught sight of her son in the tree as she turned around. Neighbour Steve Rhodes described how Josef's mother battled to save the boy . Screaming in horror, she ran into the back garden. Her partner Ahmed Kazzan, 61, and daughter Nadiah, 16, came out to help. Miss Cullen said: ‘I ran out to the . tree and clambered up to try and pull him down. I remember Ahmed came . out and I passed Joe to him.’ The family called for an ambulance and began trying to resuscitate the schoolboy. Paramedics managed to restart his . heart on the way to hospital in Dewsbury and he was transferred to Leeds . General Infirmary for more specialist care. Mr Kazzan, an unemployed mortgage and . insurance agent, said he was told by a doctor Joe could survive . although he may have suffered brain damage. Keen footballer Josef was a pupil at St Patrick's Catholic Primary School, Birstall, . West Yorks. Counsellors are understood to be helping staff and pupils . with their grief . The father replied: ‘I don’t care, I want him home. If there is a chance, do what you can.’ But there was nothing the doctors . could do and Joe’s life-support machine was switched off two days later . with his family at his bedside. Mr Kazzan said: ‘We decided to let him . go in peace.’ Miss Cullen said: ‘I’m in shock. As a mother you just never ever think that this will happen to you. It doesn’t feel real. ‘I never left my kids alone. I can’t . believe this happened when I turned my back for such a short period of . time. I am just taking one hour at a time because I can’t even begin to . think about life without Joe. ‘Joe was a beautiful, lovely boy. He . was full of life and energy and loved being around people. He would win . everyone over. He had loads of friends and was always wanting to call on . his friends. The family has been torn apart by this. The house is . quiet, we are broken.’ Miss Cullen said Joe liked playing the . piano, swimming, and most of all football. He played for a local team . and recently won an award voted for by the players’ parents. Neighbour Steve Rhodes, 49, who ran to . help the family after hearing shouting, said Joe had been climbing the . tree with the rope since he was a tiny boy. ‘It was Joe’s tree, he was always up . it. His mum and dad made that garden for the children, it’s like a . wonderland. My heart bleeds for the family. They are such a lovely . family.’ Drighlington Juniors Football Club is . organising a collection in Joe’s memory to go to the children’s ward at .

New York (CNN) -- Longtime New York Yankees icon Derek Jeter underwent surgery Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina, to mend the left ankle he fractured fielding a ground ball in the 12th inning of what was the beginning of his team's post-season collapse. The Bombers' captain is expected to recover within four to five months, according to a team spokesman. But the injury has only added to looming questions about how many more seasons the aging all-star has left in pinstripes. Finishing off the year with 216 hits, the most in baseball, the 38-year-old shortstop -- nicknamed "Mr. November" -- has played 18 seasons in Gotham and has often said he would like to finish his career as a Yankee. A virtual shoo-in for Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, Jeter last year became only the 28th player in baseball history -- and the first Yankee -- to reach the 3,000-hit mark. News of Saturday's surgery also coincided with the birthday of another Bombers legend: Mickey Mantle, who played 18 seasons with the team between 1951 and 1968. But when Jeter will join the list of past Yankee greats remains a mystery that most New Yorkers aren't looking to unravel just yet.

"If you want to move on, you've got to find a way," Girardi said.

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Police closed streets near London's Canary Wharf financial district on Saturday after an unexploded German flying bomb from World War II was found on a construction site. WWII bombs are unearthed across Europe, often during building excavations, such as this one in France. Bomb disposal experts were called in to make the V1 missile safe after it was unearthed close to the east London complex that houses 80,000 office workers during the working week, police said. At weekends the area is busy with shoppers and visitors. Police closed several roads around the site in Millharbour, a road in the former docklands. "Ambulance, fire and police are there and the building site has been evacuated," a London police spokesman said. The area was cordoned off, he said. Thousands of V1s, nicknamed "Doodlebugs", were fired at the capital during the war, with the docks a prime target. Hundreds of unexploded bombs from the war are buried across the country, according to government figures. They are unearthed from time to time, often during building excavations. Canary Wharf's tenants include Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, HSBC, the Independent newspaper group and Reuters. E-mail to a friend . Copyright 2007 Reuters.

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Hours after being impeached by an overwhelming vote in the Illinois House of Representatives, a defiant Gov. Rod Blagojevich proclaimed Friday that he was not guilty of impeachable offenses and would fight "every step of the way." Ilinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says his impeachment was politically driven. The embattled governor said lawmakers' actions were politically driven. "The House action today was not a surprise. It was a foregone conclusion," Blagojevich said at a news conference in Chicago. "From the very moment of my re-election, I've been engaged in a struggle with the House to try to get things done for people. "The House's action today, and the causes of the impeachment, are because I've done things to fight for families who are with me here today," he added. Watch Blagojevich fire back at critics » . Blagojevich said one of the reasons the House voted to impeach him because he wanted to expand health care benefits to Illinois residents. "Is that an impeachable offense?" Blagojevich asked. As he stated earlier, Blagojevich said he had not done anything wrong. Watch Blagojevich declare he is not guilty » . Blagojevich's comments came after the state House voted almost unanimously Friday to impeach him. The vote was 114-1, with three representatives not voting. Watch the announcement of the impeachment vote » . State Rep. Milton Patterson, D-Chicago, said he voted against impeachment because "I did not feel like I had enough information, based on the report, to make an informed decision to remove the governor from office." The matter now moves to the state Senate, which will try the case. A two-thirds vote in the Senate is required to remove the governor from office. Blagojevich's actions "show a public servant who is prepared to turn public service into an avenue for private benefit," the chairwoman of the House impeachment committee, Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago, said at the start of Friday's impeachment debate. "They show a public servant who has betrayed his oath of office, who has betrayed the public trust, who is not fit to govern the state of Illinois." Currie added, "The totality of the evidence shows that Gov. Blagojevich has forfeited his right to hold office. Whatever their stations, whether petty thieves or governors, those who break the law must not be immune from the consequences and must be held to account for their actions." Rep. Tom Cross, Republican leader in the Illinois House, said Blagojevich "has violated [his] oath of office, and that trust that he was given by being elected twice has eroded, has evaporated, has completely gone." On Thursday, the Illinois House committee unanimously recommended impeaching Blagojevich amid corruption allegations. Blagojevich was arrested last month after federal prosecutors alleged, among other things, that he tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat that President-elect Barack Obama vacated. "Today is the day that we begin to give back democracy to the people of the state of Illinois," Democratic Rep. Jack Franks, a panel member, said as he cast his aye vote Thursday night. Blagojevich "has been AWOL and derelict of his duties. He has abused his powers, and he has brought shame to this great state," Franks said. "I believe that Rod Blagojevich is a liar, and I believe he is a thief," Franks said. "He has stolen the trust of the people." The committee heard testimony Thursday from Roland Burris, the man Blagojevich appointed to succeed Obama in the Senate. Burris denied any quid pro quo with Blagojevich for his appointment to the Senate. Burris, former attorney general for Illinois, is not accused of engaging in "pay-to-play" politics with Blagojevich. "I would have appreciated it if he had stepped aside, and we would not have been made the laughingstock of the country," said Rep. Mary Flowers, another Democrat. She noted, however, that the governor is "innocent until proven guilty." The 21-member committee looked into Blagojevich's actions on a number of issues beyond the federal allegations, including a claim that he withheld state money from a children's hospital until he received a $50,000 campaign donation. Rep. Chapin Rose, a Republican, called the alleged behavior "repugnant." "The report speaks for itself and contains many, many, many acts that I find, and most of my colleagues find, to be impeachable," Rose said. "The evidence is overwhelmingly damning," he said. U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald initiated a criminal complaint against Blagojevich after listening to wiretaps of the governor's phone conversations. Blagojevich was arrested December 9 but has not been indicted. A federal judge in Chicago told Fitzgerald that he has until April 7 to decide whether to charge the Illinois governor. The committee's report said it found the government's allegations against Blagojevich "shocking" and believes the information in the federal complaint "is sufficiently credible to demonstrate an abuse of office" that was "inconsistent with the governor's constitutional oath." The report said Blagojevich did not need to be found guilty of a crime for the House to impeach him. "It would, in fact, be unreasonable to limit impeachable offenses to criminal conduct," the report said. "An impeachment inquiry is not a criminal proceeding, and its purpose is not punitive. Rather, impeachment is a remedial proceeding to protect the public from an officer who has abused his position of trust." The committee pointed out that the criminal complaint against Blagojevich alleges that he was secretly taped saying he would not appoint anyone to Obama's seat without some form of compensation. iReport.com: Do you trust your political leaders? "The governor repeatedly demonstrated that his decision to appoint a senator would not be based on merits of the candidate or on public policy but rather on how that appointment could benefit him personally," the report said. "The governor directed various individuals to conduct inquiries on his behalf to negotiate deals for the Senate appointment, affirmatively setting into action a plot to trade the Senate appointment for something of value to the governor," it said. | NEW: Rod Blagojevich vows to fight impeachment charges "every step of the way"

By . David Wilkes and Nazia Parveen . PUBLISHED: . 17:55 EST, 5 April 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 01:41 EST, 6 April 2012 . With its wild and windswept beauty, it was the perfect setting for Wuthering Heights’ story of doomed romance. ‘Make the moors never change and you and I never change,’ Cathy begs Heathcliff in a declaration of love for both him and the untamed landscape against which their passion is played out in Emily Brontë’s novel. Now furious campaigners are echoing her cry for preservation with equal fervour as they battle plans to place four 328ft high turbines right next to a hugely popular tourist trail through the rugged moor which so inspired Emily. Changing landscape: Artist impression of how the £12million scheme would look with two turbines flanking each side of the Brontë Way . The £12million scheme by private green energy firm Banks Renewables would see two turbines flanking each side of the Brontë Way on a stretch of the 43-mile footpath at Thornton Moor. This is less than five miles from Howarth, the town in West Yorkshire where Emily, her literary sisters Charlotte and Anne and their brother Branwell lived. The siblings all enjoyed the moor’s breathtaking views during their walks from the parsonage where they lived – and which is now a museum to them. Sally McDonald, chairman of the Brontë Society which maintains the museum, has condemned the proposed wind farm as ‘skyline pollution in an area of international historical interest’. Historic: The proposed wind farm is less than five miles from Howarth, the town in West Yorkshire where Emily, her literary sisters Charlotte and Anne and their brother Branwell lived . She added: ‘These moors should continue undisturbed for generations to come and for the swathes of visitors from the UK and overseas drawn to Haworth and Yorkshire by their interest in the lives and works of the Brontës. ‘The moorland hugely influenced the writing of all three sisters. Wuthering Heights was set in and around that area.’ She said the turbines would have a ‘huge visual impact’. Councillors are due to vote on an application to install a data-gathering mast next week and objectors fear the full scheme could go to the planning committee by September and be built within 12 months. Campaigners are also concerned that the wind farm will be less than 700 yards from the nearest homes in the tiny rural settlement of Denholme Gate, where 223 people, nearly all the residents, have signed a protest petition. Mother-of-two Anthea Orchard, 34, chairman of the Thornton Moor Wind Farm Action Group, said: The damage to the landscape is going to be irreparable. It is behind a smoke screen of renewable energy. ‘We are also concerned about the impact on wildlife because of how close it is to the South Pennines Site of Special Scientific Interest. Phil Dyke, of Banks Renewables, said the proposed scheme would produce enough electricity a year for up to 4,500 homes. ‘Developing sustainable, low-carbon energy is vital to all our futures,’ he added. | Furious campaigners battle plans to place four .

Washington (CNN) -- The House of Representatives on Saturday night passed a sweeping health care bill by a vote of 220-215. With the passage of H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, proponents of health care reform took an important step forward, but turning the bill into law remains uncertain. It's unclear when the Senate will vote on a version of the health care legislation debated in that chamber. If the Senate passes its bill, the House and Senate bills would have to be reconciled into one document and voted on again. The House Democrats needed 218 votes to ensure passage of the bill. On Saturday, it appeared the vote would come down to the wire, as the intentions of some conservative Democrats remained unknown. In the final tally, 219 Democrats voted for the legislation, and 39 voted against it. Rep. Joe Cao (R-Louisiana) was the only Republican who voted in favor of the bill. Read the House bill (PDF) Democrats began counting down with eight seconds left in the voting period and erupted in a loud cheer when the hotly debated legislation was passed. Republicans in the chamber stood across the floor, some with their arms folded. "Oh what a night," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a news conference after the House adjourned its session for the night. She thanked President Obama and her colleagues who fought to get the bill passed. The Republican National Committee released a statement after the vote. "Today with help from their liberal House allies, President Obama and Nancy Pelosi finally got what they have been creating behind closed doors these past months -- a government-run health careexperiment that will increase families' health care costs, increase the deficit, increase taxes on small businesses and the middle class, and cut Medicare," the statement said. Earlier, the House passed an amendment to pending health care legislation that prohibits federal funds for abortion services in the public option and in the insurance "exchange" the bill would create. The vote passed 240-194. Share your thoughts on the health care debate . A second amendment considered by the House, introduced by Minority Leader John Boehner, which would have substituted several sections of the health care bill dealing with insurance, did not pass. Legislators voted against the amendment 258-176. The first amendment, introduced by anti-abortion Democrats, bans federal funds for abortion services in the public option and in the insurance "exchange" the bill would create. Its consideration was considered a big win for them and for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which used its power -- especially with conservative Democrats in swing congressional districts -- to help force other Democratic leaders to permit a vote that most of them oppose. The prohibition, introduced by Democratic members, including Rep. Brad Ellsworth, D-Indiana, and Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Michigan, would exclude cases of rape, incest or if the mother's life is in danger. Republicans strongly supported the measure. The GOP accounted for 174 of the votes in favor of the amendment, with 1 Republican voting "present." On the Democrats' side, 64 voted for the measure, and 194 voted against. Earlier Saturday, President Obama said members of the House of Representatives face the chance of a lifetime as they consider the legislation. After a meeting with the House Democratic leadership, the president said he told lawmakers that "opportunities like this come around maybe once in a generation." "This is their moment, this is our moment, to live up to the trust that the American people have placed in us," Obama told reporters in the White House rose garden. "Even when it's hard, especially when it's hard, this is our moment to deliver." CNN's Dana Bash, Elaine Quijano, Lisa Desjardins, Alan Silverleib, Paul Steinhauser and Deirdre Walsh contributed to this report. | NEW: House passes health-care reform bill with mostly Democratic support .

Stores have been accused of using copycat products, hiding away ingredients and inflating packs to fool shoppers. A study by consumer champions has identified ten packaging tricks which risk misleading customers about the health, quality and quantity of what they are getting. Which? surveyed hundreds of products and asked more than 7,800 of its members to point the finger at companies that are misleading shoppers. A Which? survey found that Tropicana's Mango and Passion Fruit juice was made from 87 percent apple . It found examples of fruit juice cartons where the main ingredient was omitted from the pack name and relegated to small print. For example, Tropicana Mango & Passion Fruit juice is actually 87per cent cheaper apple juice, while the firm’s Lemon & Lime Juice is 96per cent a mix of apple and orange. Many companies put nutrition information on the front of packs which is designed to tell shoppers ‘at a glance’ how healthy they are in relation to other similar products. However, a number use unrealistically small portion sizes as the basis of these nutrition claims, which makes the products appear healthier. For example, Waitrose offers a small individual ‘Essential’ cheese and tomato pizza that weighs just 165g, which would normally be eaten whole. However, the firm gives fat, salt, sugar and calorie information for just half the pizza. Similarly, the nutrition information on the front of a Goodfella’s extra thin pizza is given based on someone eating just one quarter of it when most people would eat at least half. Which? found that some packs of sausages and bacon given nutrition information based on eating just one sausage or rasher, when most people would eat two or three. The editor of Which? magazine, Richard Headland, said: ‘We’ve found packaging tactics across the supermarkets that run the risk of misleading customers. Supermarkets and manufacturers need to play fair to avoid confusing consumers. Tropicana's Lemon & Lime juice is made from 96 per cent apple and orange juice . ‘We’re campaigning for simple food pricing to make it easy for consumers to compare products and find the best deal.’ As we approach Christmas, many people will be buying gift packs as presents. However, Which? found a Lynx pack containing a deodorant and shower gel for £6.50 which could be bought separately for £5. Researchers also found a Dove gift set for £4.50 containing products that could be bought for £4.40. A number of supermarkets have created own-label products that bear an uncanny resemblance to big brands, which manufacturers have spent millions of pounds to create and promote. The budget chains Aldi and Lidl appear particularly keen to borrow from famous brands. Some 39per cent of people surveyed by Which? thought Lidl’s Tower Gate Ginger Nuts were actually McVitie’s Ginger Nuts. Lidl’s Newgate Cream of Tomato soup can looks very much like the Heinz version. Aldi’s Snackrite Thick Ridged Crisps also look similar to the popular ‘Real McCoys’ brand. Earlier this year, Aldi was forced to remove its ‘Saucy Salmon Fillets’ from sale following complaints and legal action from the Saucy Fish Company, who said they were a copy of its packs. Which? also found that companies use deliberately inflated packs to give a false impression. For example, it found boxes of Cadbury fingers were only two thirds full, while packs of Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Amaretti biscuits were only 60per cent full. Some products contain ingredients that shoppers, particularly vegetarians, would not expect. For example, drinks like Lilt and Kia Ora orange squash with no added sugar contain fish gelatine. One of the biggest problems faced by shoppers is comparing the price of packaged fruit and veg versus the same products sold loose. In theory, those sold loose should be cheaper, but this is not always the case. Which? found bananas sold loose worked out at just 68p a kilo, while those sold in plastic bags were at least £1 a kilo. Other problems include products sold as ‘Fairtrade’ when this is not necessarily the case, ‘light’ products that are not as healthy as they may appear and product descriptions on cooked meat which are not clear . Example: Tropicana Mango & Passion Fruit Juice is actually 87% apple juice, 9% mango puree; 4% passion fruit juice. Tropicana Lemon & Lime Juice is mainly apple and orange with only 2% lemon and 2% lime. Response: Tropicana said drinks are named according to the main flavour, rather than the main ingredient. Small portion size used to skew nutrition figures. Example: Waitrose 165g ‘Essential’ pizza bases front of pack nutrition figures on only half the product. Goodfella’s pizza uses only one quarter of pizza for its figures. Response: Waitrose said the portion size represents a typical meal which would include other elements. Goodfella’s is changing labels to give figures for half a pizza . Waitrose's ‘Essential’ pizza bases front of pack nutrition figures on only half the product . Copycat brands. Example: Lidl’s Tower Gate Ginger Nuts mimic McVitie’s product; Aldi’s Snackrite Thick Ridged Crisps are similar to ‘The Real McCoy’s’. Response: Aldi says generic colours help shoppers find what they want. Lidl says it ensures own-label are clearly differentiated. Poor value gift sets . Example: Lynx gift set costing £6.50 contained a deodorant and shower gel that would normally cost £5. Response: Manufacturer, Unilever said retailers set the prices. Excess packaging . Example: Cadbury Fingers 114g box is two-thirds full; Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Amaretti Biscuits is only 60% full . Response: Sainsbury’s blamed ‘settling’ in the bag. Cadbury’s said it is reducing packaging. Cadbury Fingers 114g box is only two-thirds full but the company said it is reducing the size of packaging . Off-putting names hidden in the small print . Example: Sainsbury’s British chicken breast slices are actually ‘Cooked, reformed chicken with less than 15% added water, and starch’; Lidl’s Hazelmeade Farm honey roast ham slices are ‘Cooked and honey roasted reformed ham slices with added water’. Response: The product details are clear on the pack. Fairtrade . Example: Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bars carry Fairtrade logo, however not all the cocoa it uses comes from a Fairtrade farmer. Response: Fairtrade Foundation say it is not always possible to keep Fairtrade and non-Fairtrade cocoa separate. Fairtrade farmers get a price premium of $200 dollars per tonne. Fruit and Veg . Example: Produce sold in packaging is not always clearly labelled to help shoppers make a price comparison with items sold loose. Response: Supermarkets say they include information in terms of price per kilo on the shelves of packaged and loose produce. Surprise ingredients . Example: Lilt and Kia Ora orange squash with no added sugar contain small amounts of fish gelatine not listed in the ingredients. Response: Both brands are owned by Coca-Cola which said it avoids the use of ingredients of animal origin in its drinks, but in some cases this is not possible. Flora Buttery Light may appear healthy, however it actually contains 45g of fat per 100g . Light . Example: Flora Buttery Light may appear healthy, however it contains 45g of fat per 100g; McVitie’s Light Digestives contain 4.5g of sugar per 100g than standards ones; Mary Berry’s Light Salad Dressing contains 21.9g of sugar and 21.9g of fat per 100g. Response: Unilever said the Flora label complies with the rules; McVitie’s said the removal of fat from the digestives, required an increase in the carbohydrate and sugar; the Mary Berry brand said the fat level was 50% less than the original product. | Tropicana's Mango & Passion Fruit juice is 87per cent apple juice .
The company's Lemon & Lime is a 96per cent mix of apple and orange .
Kia Ora and Lilt may have no added sugar but do use fish gelatin .
Which? discovered that loose fruit is more expensive than pre-bagged . | 79e772f76ccd46594cf12c9c71d2a69fbaaa345b | [

Kensington Palace officials were forced to announce the pregnancy early because Kate is suffering from severe hyperemesis gravidarum . The country rejoiced when it was announced that the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant again. But the spare is proving as troublesome for the Duchess as the heir – Kensington Palace officials were forced to announce the pregnancy early because Kate, right, is suffering from severe hyperemesis gravidarum. I was quite troubled to see this referred to by some commentators as morning sickness. It’s not. Morning sickness is a very common symptom of pregnancy, affecting about half of all expectant mothers, and it ranges from mild nausea to daily vomiting. It isn’t pleasant but it certainly isn’t serious. Hyperemesis gravidarum, on the other hand, is brutal. Affecting only two per cent of pregnant women, the sickness is so severe that sufferers end up dehydrated and weak. This often results in hospital admission – as it did when Kate was carrying her first child – for intravenous fluids and heavy-duty anti-sickness drugs. Thankfully, in most cases the health of the baby is unaffected. The Royal couple are also said to be hiring a maternity nurse, who will live with mother and baby round-the-clock. William and Kate did not do the same for Prince George – but I say if you can afford it, go for it. Managing with sleepless nights is one of the hardest things to get used to as a parent, and it is not necessarily easier the second time around. Sleep deprivation is a bit like being run over by a five-ton truck every day. It is a big strain on both parents, and I admire the couple for coming up with a sensible strategy and admitting that they need help. Their lives are under constant scrutiny, and I hope they will not be judged unfairly for this move. WHY I'M FORCED TO REVEAL YOUR SECRETS . My mother, who is in her 90s, recently had food poisoning. Shortly after she recovered, our local council wrote to her and then called asking all sorts of questions about what she’d eaten and where. My concern is that her medical information was passed on to the council without her consent. I thought what happened between patient and doctor was confidential? I can reassure you that the experience your mother has had is entirely correct and permissible. Patient confidentiality is a right of every patient, as you say, and doctors have a strict responsibility to uphold this. However, there are situations where confidentiality can be breached, such as in cases where protecting the health of the community overrides the individual right of a patient. Scroll down for video . Hyperemesis gravidarum often results in hospital admission as it did when Kate was carrying her first child . A doctor is required by law to report cases of any disease capable of starting an epidemic – such as serious food poisoning – immediately to the local public health team. This gives the authorities a much greater chance of preventing the spread. Some diseases are unlikely to cause an epidemic but reveal a breakdown in hygiene that needs investigation. Notifiable diseases are usually those that spread rapidly and are difficult to treat, or those that can be used to monitor the effectiveness of vaccine programmes. The list includes 30 infections, among them measles, scarlet fever, TB – and even plague. The full list can be found on the gov.uk website. As a GP, it is my statutory duty to report these diseases even when they are only suspected, rather than confirmed. The principle is to ensure that an outbreak is contained. Speed is of the essence and, in order to facilitate this, a GP is obliged to provide full personal details to officials in the patient’s local authority area. Those officials are then able to contact the patient directly so that appropriate action can be taken to control or prevent further infection. I have chronic bronchitis and although I’m not able to walk far, I do try in order to keep fit. My oxygen levels are normal but I still suffer from a lot of pain in my chest. I already use three different inhalers and my doctor says there’s nothing more he can do. Is there anything that you could suggest? Three million people in the UK are estimated to suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, encompassing lung conditions including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. They all cause narrowing of the airways in the lung and a debilitating, progressive condition that interferes with normal breathing and exercise tolerance as you describe. Smoking is the main cause and if you are a smoker, quitting is the most important thing. Stopping smoking can prevent the disease from worsening. Your GP can offer you all forms of nicotine-replacement or tablets on prescription. Inhalers are not easy to use and many COPD sufferers have poor technique, which leads to them being less effective. A practice nurse will, if asked, check your technique and offer help. The next step of treatment once inhalers are at a maximum level could be tablet therapy. It is also crucial to discuss with your GP something called pulmonary rehabilitation, a type of physical and educational treatment specifically for COPD sufferers who feel disabled by their condition. Anyone in this situation who suffers chest pains should make sure their GP knows. The pain can be a symptom of COPD but also a sign of heart disease, and cardiology investigations may be needed alongside the respiratory treatments. HAS CANCER MOTHER LAURA PAID £80,000 FOR FALSE HOPE? Are NHS doctors keeping life-saving treatments from young mothers dying of cancer? The story of Laura Fischer-Beards, apparently saved last week by US surgeons after being refused NHS treatment for an ‘inoperable’ brain tumour, suggests they are. Mother-of-three Laura was given 12 months to live, but now has had an £80,000 ‘pioneering procedure’, reported to have extended her life by as much as 15 years. Of course I’m pleased for her. But the story is full of half-truths. Laura Fischer-Beards was given 12 months to live, but now has had an £80,000 ‘pioneering procedure' She suffers from grade two glioma – a slow-growing, difficult and unpredictable cancer. Typically, patients live for between five and 15 years from diagnosis. Laura had already had radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. And the procedure she paid for, awake mapping craniotomy, is offered on the NHS. But she’d suffered a stroke during the first surgery. Surgery would carry a huge risk of permanent disability and offer no guarantee she would live longer, as it’s almost impossible to remove all the cancerous cells, which don’t show up on scans. American doctors agreed to operate and say they removed ‘100 per cent of the enhanced tumour’. This sounds as if they’ve cured her, doesn’t it? Not so. This is medical terminology for: ‘We’ve got all we can see on the scans.’ Perhaps the operation has bought her more time. But she may well have lived as long or longer had they done nothing. It’s difficult to accept that watching and waiting can be as good as – or better than – ‘battling’ cancer. I recently read Do No Harm, by British neurosurgeon Henry Marsh. His more experienced self recognises that not operating often results in the same clinical outcome and life expectancy. Laura’s UK doctors would have operated if they thought it would benefit her. And beware false hope. The cruel part is not that she has spent £80,000 – it is what she seems to think she has been given for her money. I was furious when told about the case of a depressed patient forced by their boss to take time off for psychotherapy as paid holiday. The Chief Medical Officer’s latest report focuses on mental health, particularly the huge toll mental illness takes on our workforce. It states that 17 million working days are lost each year due to stress, depression and other mental health problems, costing Britain up to £100 billion annually. But that figure completely misses the huge and far more significant personal costs such issues cause to individuals and their families. Sadly, I see the problem workers face trying to access therapy – long waiting times and availability only during office hours. And although the example I’ve detailed is extreme, not to mention illegal, more options should be open to all patients that will keep them living as normal a life as possible. The Chief Medical Officer suggests fast-tracking workers ahead of others into therapy to improve the situation. But that would just create a two-tiered system, going against the principles of the NHS. It would far better to legislate to ensure that employers build mental health support into the core of their working practices. That would help improve the situation before individuals have even reached their GP’s surgery. | Kate Middleton is suffering from severe hyperemesis gravidarum .

Hackers targeted Syrian rebels with online 'honey traps' by posing as beautiful women to steal battle plans and the identity of defectors, a security firm has said. A report by U.S. cybersecurity firm FireEye tracked hacking operations in late 2013 and early 2014 that targeted Syrian opposition fighters, media activists and humanitarian aid workers. FireEye said it was unclear whether the information stolen from the Syrian opposition had been passed onto the Syrian government and who the hackers were working for. But the hacked material included a detailed opposition military plan for an attack in 2013 on the town of Khirbet Ghazaleh, strategically located in southern Daraa province. The town had been under rebel control but was seized by regime troops in May 2013. Rebels have been unable to recapture it since. Honey traps: Hackers stole crucial information from Syrian rebels by posing as beautiful women (above) on social media to steal battle plans and the identity of defectors, a U.S. security firm has said in a report . Lured into opening virus: The report by U.S. cybersecurity firm FireEye cited this example of a conversation on Skype where hackers pose as pro-opposition women to befriend Syrian rebels then send their victim a photo of themselves loaded with malware that penetrated their personal files and stole information . Similar tactics were also employed on Facebook: The method was particularly effective because Syrian opposition members often share computers, meaning one machine yielded information from multiple victims . Despite the high-tech tools used in the cyber attack, the hackers relied on a well-worn tactic: the 'honey trap.' Targets were contacted on the chat and online phone service Skype by hackers posing as pro-opposition women. They would ask the target whether they were on a smartphone or computer, apparently in a bid to tailor their attacks. Then they would send their victim a photo of themselves loaded with malware that penetrated their personal files and stole information. The method was particularly effective because Syrian opposition members were often sharing computers, meaning one machine yielded information from multiple victims. The material stolen covered extraordinary levels of detail, including the blood types of fighters and the timing of a handover of anti-tank missiles. Information is power: Opposition battle plans were also stolen that included the positions of anti-government forces and, as this map shows, part of an attack plan against an encampment (rectangle) of Assad's troops . Hacked: The material stolen covered extraordinary levels of detail, including the blood types of fighters and the timing of a handover of anti-tank missiles as seen in this redacted conversation between two rebels . But not all of it related to warfare, with information about refugees, opposition media strategy and the inner workings of opposition political structures also included. Most of the stolen material was created between May 2013 and December 2013, though some of it dated back to 2012 and as recently as January 2014. The hackers also used other tactics, including creating fake social media accounts and Syrian opposition websites that encouraged visitors to click on links that would infect their computers. The report said: 'The hackers stole a cache of critical documents and Skype conversations revealing the Syrian opposition's strategy, tactical battle plans, supply needs, and troves of personal information and chat sessions.' The hacking provided 'actionable military intelligence for an immediate battlefield advantage' in the case of the planned Khirbet Ghazaleh attack. Online predators: A graphic showing the number and locations of victims of the honey-trap hackers . Covert: This translated conversation appears to show an attempt by rebel fighters to secure forged passports as Syrians often face tough scrutiny when travelling abroad . It captured 'the type of insight that can thwart a vital supply route, reveal a planned ambush and identify and track key individuals.' FireEye was unable to identify where the hackers it tracked were based, but it noted that their servers were outside of Syria and their tools and tactics differed from previous Syrian hackers. The report's revelations are just the latest evidence of the stealth cyberwar that has accompanied the fighting in Syria's bloody conflict. Pro-government hackers identifying themselves as the Syrian Electronic Army have carried out high-profile attacks against the websites and social media accounts of media outlets and politicians. And in 2012, a British newspaper published what it said were 3,000 emails sent by President Bashar al-Assad and his wife, obtained by opposition hackers with the help of a government mole. Sami Saleh, an opposition activist and hacker using a pseudonym, said such examples were rare because the opposition was generally too poorly-equipped and -backed to carry out major hacking operations. 'We mostly carry out defensive operations,' he told AFP, describing multiple cases where opposition commanders and politicians were targeted by hackers. In one case, a commander in northwestern Idlib province downloaded a file meant to contain military maps, accidentally compromising his computer. 'The cyber-war is about half the war, without exaggeration,' Saleh said. | Report by security firm tracked hacking operations against Syrian rebels .

John Travolta's former pilot has hit out at the Saturday Night Fever star for accusing him of 'wanting money' in a pending lawsuit between the pair. Doug Gotterba - who claims he had a six-year gay affair with Travolta when he worked for him in the 1980s - released a statement to MailOnline refuting Travolta's comments. In an interview with The Daily Beast this week Travolta, 60, was asked about the pending lawsuit with Gotterba, to which he replied: 'This is every celebrity's achilles heel. It's just about people wanting money. That's all. It happens on many levels.' Scroll down for video . Lawsuit pending: Douglas Gotterba has sued superstar JohnTravolta to determine if a confidentiality agreement covering his employment was valid. Gotterba wants to write a book . Responding to Travolta's comments, Gotterba said: 'What John Travolta said about me in a recent . interview is an inaccurate description of what our court case is about. 'Our dispute is purely about declaratory relief and will be a non-monetary judgement. This is about the truth and my right for a court to decide who is telling the truth, not for Mr Travolta to make a judgement.' However, MailOnline has learned that according to Travolta's representative, Gotterba had asked for $10 million to settle the case out of court. Gotterba was a pilot for Travolta's aircraft company Alto for six years before leaving voluntarily in 1987. The . former pilot alleges he and Travolta enjoyed a sexual relationship when . he was under his employment and the pair are currently disputing . whether Gotterba signed a confidentiality agreement. Last July, a California appeals court ruled that Gotterba would be able to argue his case that he does not have a confidentiality agreement with Travolta. When Gotterba left the actor's Alto airline company in 1987, he entered into a written termination agreement. Gotterba decided to 'tell the story of his life and those involved in it', including his personal relationship with Travolta after he was 'unwillingly thrust' into the spotlight when another former Travolta employee spilled the beans about their purported gay relationship. Hollywood star: John Travolta, shown last week at the Toronto International Film Festival, opened up about a lawsuit filed by his former pilot . When Travolta’s attorney learned that . Gotterba was planning to write a book, the pilot was warned that he would . be breaching a confidentiality provision of the termination agreement. But the pilot asserted the agreement was ‘not authentic.’ It was an . earlier draft that he did not agree to, he said. He . filed suit against Travolta, asking the court to decide about the . validity of the agreement and the validity of the confidentiality . clause. Speaking about the fact he has been subject to several allegations from supposed former lovers in the past, Travolta . told the Daily Beast: 'Also, I don't care that much about it. Other . people may attack it back more than I do, but I let all the media stuff . go a long time ago because I can't control it I think that's why it . persists, to some degree.' The star was dogged by gay rumors two years ago when an anonymous masseur sued him claiming sexual assault and battery and another masseur joined the lawsuit. Both lawsuits were ultimately dropped by the masseurs. Travolta said he has come to terms with being the target of such allegations. 'Also, I don't care that much about it. Other people may attack it back more than I do, but I let all the media stuff go a long time ago because I can't control it. I think that's why it persists to some degree,' the actor said. Travolta's autistic teenage son Jett died in 2009 after suffering a seizure while on a Christmas vacation in The Bahamas and the star said he was disturbed by some of the media coverage. Too low: Travolta's daughter Ella, wife Kelly Preston and late son Jett are shown in an undated file photo . Longtime couple: Kelly Preston and Travolta, shown in August at a Church Of Scientology gala in Los Angeles, have been married since 1991 . 'I found it most offensive with the . loss of my son. I felt like that was the lowest I'd ever felt. Sex stuff . is always going to be interesting to somebody, but you stay away from . family. You really should. With that, I always felt like the media - not . all of the media, but part of it - went too low there,' he said. The Pulp Fiction star opened up while at the Toronto International Film Festival for his new film The Forger. He . portrays a second-generation art forger who agrees to take on a job . with his father, played by 84-year-old Christopher Plummer, in order to . spend time with his dying son. | John Travolta insists that money is the motivation behind a lawsuit filed by his former airline pilot .
Doug Gotterba says he will get no money from the suit, but if he wins he will not be bound by any confidentiality agreement .

Video footage of an abducted girl dragged screaming and crying into a forced wedding has shamed Kazakhstan. The disturbing clip, filmed on a mobile phone and titled Stealing The Bride, shows the moment the teenage girl arrives at the home of her future husband in Kazakhstan's central Akmola region. As wedding guests celebrate to traditional Kazakh music, the youngster sits in the back of a car crying and pleading to be taken home. Scroll down for video . Snatched: A young woman is dragged screaming and crying to the home of her future husband . Forced wedding: The clip was filmed in Kazakhstan's Akmola region, where such abductions are a custom . In most countries, bride kidnapping is considered a sex crime. Local women's rights activist Anfisa Zuyeva, 30, called the practice 'barbaric'. 'No wonder people think we're backward,' she said. The video shows the screaming girl dragged from the car and along a special bridal carpet towards her suitor's house as guests in smart wedding dress throw confetti over her. She makes one final effort at resistance at the door to the home, pushing back on the doorframe, before a crowd of men and women finally hustle her inside. Smile for the camera: A relative of the groom can be seen shamelessly recording the moment for posterity . Barbaric: The bride-to-be makes one last attempt at resistance before she is bundled through the door . Shockingly, such bride kidnapping, where a young woman is taken by force to the home of a man who wants to marry her, is said to be on the rise in Kazakhstan. The groom-to-be hires relatives and friends who use deception or force to get the girl into their car. This can include offering to give her a lift, or dragging her off the street and tying her up in a sack. Once inside the car she is driven to the man’s home where one of his female relatives prepares a special neckerchief called an Oramal which the girl must accept to show her consent to marriage. Often it takes days of being locked up before the girl accepts and even then there are complicated politics to be dealt with when her family found out where she is. The practice is an ancient custom in the region and there are various formalities to go through. In some circumstances the abduction can even be consensual. Where it isn't, perpetrators are rarely dealt with by the legal system. This latest video has been rounded on by critics who say the practice must stop. Ms Zuyeva, who has campaigned against the tradition, said: 'This is a barbaric and evil practice that forces young girls into loveless marriages with men they hardly know. 'Often the families of the victims agree because the groom pays them a lot of money. 'But it is an outdated and horrific tradition which has no place in modern Kazakhstan. MPs have now called for it to be made illegal, pointing out over 60 per cent of adults and 74 per cent of teenagers had either been victims of kidnappings or knew people who were. | Bride kidnapping is an ancient custom in Kazakhstan, and is on the rise .

NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Fourteen people, most of them children, have been killed in a stampede during a Hindu festival in eastern India, police said Tuesday. The crush occurred Monday on a bridge along the banks of the river Ganges in Patna, the capital of Bihar state, according to authorities. The site was packed with hundreds of thousands of devotees celebrating the annual festival of Chhath, Patna's police chief Jayant Kant said. During Chhath, one of the biggest festivals of eastern India, worshipers gather along river banks to offer prayers to the sun. An electric short circuit generated sparks from power cables, triggering the panic that led to the stampede, Kant said. About eight people were initially reported Monday to have been injured in the crush. But Kant said Tuesday that authorities no longer had anybody recorded as injured after some people died from their injuries. | The stampede occurred near the river Ganges in Patna, the capital of Bihar state .

The true spirit of Christmas cannot be captured in fairytale endings, the Archbishop of Canterbury will tell the faithful. Delivering his Christmas Day sermon at Canterbury Cathedral, the Archbishop will remind worshippers that the infamous battlefield detente between German and British troops a hundred years ago was all too brief.

The true spirit of Christmas cannot be captured in fairytale endings, the Archbishop of Canterbury (pictured) will tell the faithful . 'It is the moment all have picked on this year, whether in adverts or sermons. 'The truce illustrates something of the heart of Christmas, whereby God sends his Son, that vulnerable sign of peace, to a weary war-torn world. 'The problem is that the way it is told now it seems to end with a "happy ever after". 'Of course we like Christmas stories with happy endings: singing carols, swapping photos, shaking hands, sharing chocolate, but the following day the war continued with the same severity. 'Nothing had changed; it was a one-day wonder. Delivering his Christmas Day sermon at Canterbury Cathedral, the Archbishop will remind worshippers that the infamous battlefield detente between German and British troops a hundred years ago was all too brief . 'That is not the world in which we live, truces are rare.' He is expected to urge worshippers not to reduce the story of Christmas to something 'utterly remote, about lives entirely different, fictional, naive, tidy'. 'Jesus came to the reality of this world to transform that reality - not to take us into some fantasy kind of "happy ever after" but to "Good News of great joy for all people",' the Archbishop is expected to say. | Battlefield detente between German and British troops 100 years ago 'too brief', Archbishop of Canterbury will say .

She may only have half a heart, but Sophie Maxwell is a determined little girl. The 12-week-old, who underwent major heart surgery when she was five just days old, has been allowed to go home for the first time. Sophie, from South Tyneside, faces two more operations and possibly a heart transplant. Sophie Maxwell (pictured with her mother, Kerry Anne) has hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a rare congenital heart condition that leaves the heart's left ventricle severely underdeveloped . She has hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a rare congenital heart condition that leaves the heart’s left ventricle severely underdeveloped. Her mother Kerry Anne, 27, said: ‘Despite everything she's been through, she's a really happy little baby. If it wasn't for the tube she still has, you wouldn't know there was anything wrong. ‘I think the oldest living person with Sophie's condition is 21, so that does give us a glimmer of hope that she could live for another 20 years or more, but we're treasuring every moment we've got with her.’ She added: ‘The surgeon who operated on Sophie said he always thinks, “where there's life, there's hope” and he's right.’ Mrs Maxwell and her husband, a customer services advisor, were faced with an agonising decision during the pregnancy. A routine 20-week scan revealed Sophie only had half a heart and the couple were asked to consider a termination. Sophie had to have open heart surgery when she was just five days old and she was not able to leave hospital until she was five weeks old. She will need at least two more operations as she grows . Mrs Maxwell said: ‘I did consider terminating the pregnancy for a minute, because I had to consider what kind of quality of life Sophie was going to have, but we decided that if Sophie was going to fight on, so were we.’ They decided to go ahead with the pregnancy and Sophie was born at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary on August 20, weighing 8lb 9oz. She was then transferred to the Children's Heart Unit at the city's Freeman Hospital. Sophie (pictured with her mother, Kerry Anne, and her brother, Nathan) might eventually need a heart transplant . Her open heart surgery meant she spent the first three weeks of her life on a ventilator and she was five weeks old before she could go home with her parents and two older brothers, Nathan, three, and Joshua Tansey, seven. Sophie now faces another operation when she is a year old and a third when she is three or four. Mrs Maxwell said: ‘I think something like one in 5,000 children are born with this condition. ‘The left side of her heart just doesn't work, and it's considerably smaller than it should be. Mrs Maxwell (pictured with her husband, Ian, and Sophie) said: 'Despite everything she's been through, she's a really happy little baby. If it wasn't for the tube she still has, you wouldn't know there was anything wrong' ‘As she grows up, she'll get breathless a lot easier, and she won't be able to walk long distances. ‘Really, it's all just palliative care because Sophie's heart will never be fixed. ‘Even after she's had her third operation, there's a possibility in the future that she might eventually need a heart transplant. ‘Hopefully, it won't come to that.’ Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a condition in which the left lower pumping chamber of the heart (left ventricle) does not develop properly. In children with the condition, the valve between the left ventricle and the upper left filling chamber (left atrium) if often closed or small. The main blood vessel that carried blood from the heart to the rest of the body is also smaller than usual. This means the heart is unable to pump blood effectively around the body. Most babies with the condition appear healthy immediately after birth but quickly become breathless if not treated. Most are diagnosed before birth. It is not possible to cure the condition but most children can have a reasonable quality of life if they have successful surgery to manage it. Only about 60 per cent of patients survive all three of the required operations. For those who do, life expectancy is in the teens.

San Bruno, California (CNN) -- At first, residents thought it was an earthquake. Or maybe a big airplane had crashed. San Bruno, after all, is adjacent to the San Francisco airport. They heard the booms. Then they saw the giant fireballs, some leaping 80 feet high. The flames were so hot, so intense, that the roar could be heard far away and the heat sucked up the air. They did not know then that a gas line that had ruptured and exploded, triggering a fire that would leave their town in apocalyptic hues. They would only find out later what had happened. But in the middle of the chaos, they simply tried to survive. Homes, lawns, cars -- everything burned. At least four people died. Many others gasped their way to hospitals, four of them fighting for their lives with excruciating third-degree burns. Read latest on California fire . Judy Serresseque felt her whole house shake as though a mighty quake was about to swallow northern California, her living room filled with an orange glow. "When I went to my front door, I looked out and everything was just flames," said Serresseque, who fled with her husband. "The heat was intense, and you could hear it, you could hear the hiss." A "big rumbling sound" sent Bob Hensel's cats into hiding. He looked long and hard for them before he pried open the garage door to escape the flames. As he drove off, he could see the bumper of his wife's car melt away. The explosion occurred Thursday evening, sending concrete chunks flying through the air. The heat from the blaze melted tail lights on cars parked blocks away. In daylight Friday, 15 acres of San Bruno resembled more a war zone than a quiet suburban California neighborhood. "I was standing next to a police officer who'd been in Baghdad, and he said he had never seen anything quite so bad as this," John Hampton, a freelance photographer who witnessed the fire, told CNN affiliate KGO. "It looks as if this area was firebombed." Another photographer, Bryan Carmody, documented the tragedy with his camera lens. He said the actual gas fire was contained to a small area, but houses just started catching fire, one after another. And the blaze turned into one continuous fireball. "The fire would just move from one house to the next because the fire was burning so fast and so big and so intensely," he said. "It was definitely a sight to see." Residents under evacuation orders fled to shelters. Others spent a panicked night in darkness after electricity was cut off. They feared for their friends, families and themselves, not knowing the path and scope of the fire. On Friday, cadaver dogs were still searching as authorities feared more than four people had perished in the blaze. Sergio Campos was on his way to class at Skyline College when he saw the fire and pulled over. Even from a distance, he could hear the roar. But he, like so many other confused San Bruno residents, didn't know whether to run toward the inferno to try to save people, or drive as far away as he could.

The National Council for Civil Liberties placed a recruitment advert for new members in the house magazine of the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange, it emerged yesterday. Labour’s deputy leader Harriet Harman and her MP husband Jack Dromey say PIE was banished before she became the NCCL’s legal officer in 1978. But disturbing new evidence contradicts this claim – and reveals further embarrassingly close ties between the NCCL and the paedophile group campaigning to legalise sex with children. Scroll down for video . Sick: The NCCL ran a the appeal for members next to a picture of a young boy in what appears to be a PE kit . Fees: The advert in PIE's in-house magazine listed membership prices . The Mail can reveal that: . ■ In 1979, an edition of Magpie, PIE’s official journal, carried the NCCL appeal for new members in an appalling ‘Year of the Child’ edition. ■ Former health minister and NCCL general secretary Patricia Hewitt shared a conference platform with PIE leader Tom O’Carroll in 1977. Details of the new links came as O’Carroll claimed the two women ‘didn’t even try’ to remove the paedophile group from the NCCL in case it harmed their careers. The three senior Labour figures all held key roles in the council – which astonishingly granted ‘affiliate’ status to the group of predatory paedophiles that was calling for the age of consent to be cut to just four. When Miss Harman earlier this week belatedly expressed ‘regret’ – but refused to apologise – for PIE being allowed to forge links with the NCCL, she said the paedophile group ‘had been pushed to the margin’ before she began working there. Yet, during the year after she took up her post, the NCCL advert appeared in PIE’s April journal. It ran inside a shocking 24-page special edition of the magazine – the cover of which shows a picture of a young boy wearing only a small pair of shorts as he plays tennis. On an inside page the council’s advert appears alongside two more pictures of young boys in provocative poses, including one in what appears to be a PE kit, sitting down with his legs apart. It invites Magpie readers to ‘join the NCCL’ and boasts that the organisation is ‘working to protect and extend human rights in the UK’. The appeal for new members and donations was published after a feature titled: Child porn, a heterosexual viewpoint. The journal, sent to PIE members, included news on paedophiles, articles on child porn and cartoons mocking assaults on children. These depicted abuse in a scout master’s tent, naked children and adults queuing up outside a bedroom for an ‘assault course’. The ‘year of the child’ edition – a distasteful twist on the UN designating 1979 as the ‘International Year of the Child’ – came with a ‘contact page’, which members could use to get in touch with other paedophiles, share images and advertise for children to abuse. Harriet Harman has expressed regret that a civil liberties group she and her husband Jack Dromey MP worked for in the 1970s had links with a pro-paedophile campaigning group . Miss Hewitt shared a platform with PIE founder O’Carroll at a gay rights conference organised by the NCCL. The former Labour minister appeared with him at the one-day event entitled ‘A Fairer Deal for Homosexuals’ and organised by the council’s Gay Rights Committee. A cutting from the left-wing Morning Star, said Miss Hewitt ‘spoke of the council’s work on gay rights over the past two years’. An item in Magpie from May 1977 confirms that O’Carroll addressed the NCCL conference. Under the heading ‘Notes and news’, it states: ‘Tom O’Carroll, our secretary, was one of two speakers talking about the treatment of sexual offenders in prison at the one day-conference organised by the Gay Rights Committee of the NCCL on May 14th.’ O’Carroll condemned the practice of chemical castration of paedophiles during a discussion at the event. A file about the conference in the archives of the NCCL – which later became the respected pressure group Liberty – at the Hull History Centre contains a paper O’Carroll prepared on chemical castration, which was due to be included in a booklet by the council published in 1978. Conference: Former Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt (left) shared a platform with leader of PIE Tom O'Carroll . But Miss Hewitt objected to the essay’s inclusion and said the group should be trying to destroy the myth that ‘gay men are also paedophiles’, not add to the confusion by ‘including a paper about the treatment of paedophile offenders in a pamphlet on gay rights’. In a memo in June 1978, she reported encountering opposition to her decision to pull O’Carroll’s work from her own gay rights sub-committee. It states that the NCCL Executive Committee would have to decide whether or not to include O’Carroll’s work in the pamphlet. A copy of what appears to be the final version in the file does not contain O’Carroll’s piece. Documents from both groups also reveal how, in the first half of 1977, the NCCL went in to bat for PIE when the vile group believed it had been slighted by a judge during his sentencing of a man convicted of blackmailing one of its member. Edited extracts from the correspondence reprinted in Magpie show how the NCCL described it as a ‘campaigning’ organisation. The letters were apparently written by Nettie Pollard, NCCL’s gay rights organiser. Speaking to the Radio 4 Today Programme O’Carroll said: ‘At the time Harman and Hewitt couldn’t just kick us out, or they could but they didn’t try. The reason was their careers in the NCCL depended upon them not rocking the boat too much.’ | Abuse group leader, Tom O'Carroll said: they didn't try and make us leave .

By . Steve Doughty . PUBLISHED: . 19:17 EST, 9 September 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 02:07 EST, 10 September 2013 . Support: Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Lord Nigel Lawson backs tax breaks for married couples . Introducing a generous tax break for married couples would be the most cost-effective way to help families, a former Tory Chancellor said yesterday. Nigel Lawson backed the idea of a transferable tax allowance that would give married people extra money. But he said the Prime Minister’s plans for a tax break worth an extra £150 a year is ‘very limited’ and should be ‘much more generous’. The intervention from Lord Lawson, who was Chancellor in Margaret Thatcher’s government, comes as backbenchers continue to push David Cameron and George Osborne to carry out their pledge to give married couples a tax break. Mr Cameron promised the transferable allowance worth £150 before the election in 2010. The prospect was raised again this summer. Lord Lawson backed transferable tax allowances – which mean a stay-at-home mother can shift her own income tax-free allowance to her husband – in a report on how to help families from the charity Care. He said: ‘The case for transferable tax allowances remains as strong as ever. ‘They are not only family friendly but provide a far more cost-effective means of reducing the tax burden on low-income households than can be achieved by an across-the-board increase in personal allowances.’ Lord Lawson was the Chancellor who first proposed independent taxation of husbands and wives 25 years ago. Yesterday’s report said that the benefits of separate taxation were undermined by the failure to include transferable allowances. The Care report said: ‘Since 1990 income tax rates have come down. In 1990 the basic rate was 25 per cent; in 2013 it is 20 per cent. 'The tax threshold for single people has risen significantly, with the result that the burden on such individuals has fallen. ‘By contrast, the tax threshold for families is scarcely higher in real terms than it was in 1990, with the result that, even though the basic rate is lower, the income tax burden on some families is much the same as it was then.’ Nearly there: Although the former Chancellor supports David Cameron's tax break, he does not think £150-a-year is generous enough . The report said that the tax system rewards individuals but shows ‘insensitivity to family responsibility’. It added: ‘Independent taxation was intended to give married women privacy over their tax affairs but the two million couples with children who have to claim tax credits, or, in future, Universal Credit, have no privacy. ‘One-earner families face more fiscal discrimination in 2013 than they did in 1990 and marginal tax rates that apply to families are much higher than they were in 1990.’ The report said the unfairness had been worsened by changes to Child Benefit, which have deprived higher-income one-earner families of the benefit while two-earner families on the same family income have kept theirs. The pressure group for stay-at-home mothers, Mothers At Home Matter, welcomed Lord Lawson’s comments. Spokesman Anne Fennell said: ‘Unlike our current Chancellor, Lord Lawson clearly appreciates the injustice in the current tax system towards stay-at-home parents. ‘We welcome his initiative 25 years later to remedy the injustice caused by a tax system which does not recognise the family unit. Many more couples face a “couple penalty” today if they choose to live together as husband and wife than they did 25 years ago and this falls largely in the poorer half of the population.’ | Ex-Chancellor Nigel Lawson backs tax break for married couples .

(CNN)Should he outlive his owners, Chunmun the monkey could be set to be one comfortable primate. An Indian couple who are estranged from their families say they've named Chunmun in their will as their only "child," bequeathing to it their house in northern India's Uttar Pradesh state, other properties and all their money. Brijesh Srivastava, an owner of businesses including a flour mill and a cable network company, and his wife Shabista, a lawyer, are estranged from their families, who disapproved of their interfaith marriage years ago. Brijesh Srivastava is a Hindu; Shabista is a Muslim. They have no children. Shabista told CNN on Friday that bought Chunmun, then just a month old, from a roadside artist in 2005 after seeing the owner beat the animal with a stick. Though she and her husband have no children, Shabista said they take care of Chunmun like he's their son. She feeds the pet a diet of milk, dry nuts and fruits in the morning, and home-cooked food at night. "He's like our child. We can't stay away from him," Shabista said. In 2010 they had Chunmun "marry" another monkey, Bitty, and gave the pets their own room with air conditioning. The couple's home is fitted with railings "so he can freely move around the house," Shabista said. The couple didn't specify how much money could be coming Chunmun's way, other than to say they have millions of rupees in bank accounts. One million rupees equates to about $16,000. Besides bequeathing everything to Chunmun, the couple say they have started a fund that will raise money to rescue monkeys and build centers for their rehabilitation. "People in India don't care about animals, but I feel they are just like humans. They need love and affection," Shabista said. | Brijesh and Shabista Srivastava say they've made pet monkey their heir in will .

If you started the new year with all good intentions to lose weight, but are already flagging, let your smartphone shame you into shedding the pounds. Carrot Hunger is the latest in a line of 'sadistic' apps designed to motivate people to get fit and lose weight by being judged and 'shouted at'. The Hunger app lets users count their daily calorie intake, tells them how much exercise they'd need to do to burn it off, and can even tell people to step away from their fridge or cookie jar. Scroll down for videos . Carrot Hunger (pictured) is the latest in a line of 'sadistic' apps designed to motivate people to get fit and lose weight by being judged and 'shouted at'. The free Hunger version lets users count their daily calorie intake (pictured left), either by searching a database or scanning a barcode (right) Carrot Hunger is the follow-up to Carrot Fit, and both were created by Pennsylvania developer Brian Mueller. His range of apps is designed to 'threaten, intimidate and ridicule' users into losing weight. Users add food to their diary either by searching the database, or scanning the bar code. Scientists in Southampton recently developed a 'smart bra' that can measure the wearer’s mood. The bra is fitted with sensors which monitor heart and skin activity. Researchers claim that by monitoring emotions, the bra can help prevent over-eating and potentially aid weight loss. Not only does the bra warn the wearer when she might be prone to reaching for food, but it gives her tips to help resist the impulse. For each food item entered, the app converts the calories into easy-to-understand terms. For example, the calories in a slice of pizza translate into a 90-minute walk. The app also tells someone how many miles they would need to run to burn off certain foods. If a user eats too many calories, or starts putting on weight, their avatar 'blimps' up, and the user is 'punished' into getting back on track. For example, Carrot will show fullscreen adverts, or send tweets about their weight gain. And, when used with an iBeacon inside the fridge, for example, Carrot knows when their reaching for food. It then reminds users to log any food they've taken out of the fridge, or will sound a loud alarm if they're nearing their calorie limit. For each food item entered, the app converts the calories into easy-to-understand terms. For example, it tells someone how many miles they would need to run to burn off certain foods (left). When used with Apple's iBeacon, Carrot knows when the user is reaching for food and will sound an alarm . With Carrot Fit, released last year, Users input their weight on a daily basis, and receive judgement from the 'Carrot overlord' (pictured). Equally, if they lose weight, Carrot offers encouragement . Carrot Fit was released last year. Users input their weight on a daily basis, and receive judgement from the ‘Carrot overlord’, yet equally, if they lose weight, Carrot offers encouragement. As well as encouragement, people who lose weight will be given rewards such as workout tips and advice. According to the app's description: 'Carrot is a sadistic AI construct with one simple goal: to transform your flabby carcass into a Grade A specimen of the human race. 'She will do whatever it takes - including threatening, inspiring, ridiculing, and bribing you - to make this happen. You will lose weight - or else.' As a user tracks their weight, Carrot Fit monitors their BMI and updates them on their progress. All weight loss is tracked on a graph that can be shared with friends and at each weigh-in, Carrot will let the user know how much they've lost and the difference compared to the previous weigh-in. As a user tracks their weight, Carrot Fit also monitors their BMI and updates them on their progress. Carrot will let the user know how much they’ve lost and the difference compared to the previous weigh-in. If the user gains weight, the app turns red (pictured left) but if they lose weight, it turns green (right) Users can set goal weights, share their progress with friends and set reminder to weigh themselves. Mr Mueller said he didn’t create Carrot Fit to make people feel bad, instead he wanted to make 'weight loss entertaining and funny.' The Hunger app is free, but the Fit app costs £2.49 in the UK and $2.99 on the US store. Mueller has previously created similar apps, called Carrot To-Do and Carrot Alarm, that both use an avatar to encourage users to be more productive, or active. A recent survey, commissioned for the start of National Obesity Awareness Week, has found that almost a third (28 per cent) of UK adults live a 'lethargic lifestyle.' A fifth said they rarely exercise, while eight per cent admitted they never exercise at all. Of those who don't exercise, 40 per cent said it was because 'they couldn’t be bothered'. Women were the idlest sex, with 44 per cent saying they were too lazy to exercise, compared with 29 per cent of men. While almost two thirds of 18 to 24-year-olds blamed laziness for their lack of motivation, making them the most lackadaisical age group. Among the adults surveyed, 16 per cent said they didn’t exercise as the people at gym intimidated them. Women were more likely than men to attribute their lack of motivation to this, with 20 per cent of females naming it as the core obstacle to fitness compared with 13 per cent of men. The study was commissioned by international group fitness brand Les Mills. | Carrot Hunger is the latest in a line of 'sadistic' weight loss apps .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 12:50 EST, 30 November 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 14:42 EST, 30 November 2012 . Fighting: Poppy Webber pictured in hospital being treated for whooping cough . A new mother told of the terrifying moment she took her two-week-old baby to doctors with a chest infection to be told the youngster had whooping cough. Aimee Webber, 26, took her daughter Poppy to Kent Elms Health Centre, in Southend, Essex three times, but the condition went undetected. The youngster's clear chest meant medics never even considered she might be suffering from whooping cough. It wasn't until Mrs Webber stayed in . the surgery chatting to the doctor after her third examination that the . medic picked up on the youngster's distinctive cough. The doctor told Mrs Webber and her husband, policeman Rob, 26, to take their daughter straight to Southend University Hospital. Hospital . staff hurriedly ran tests after hearing the recognisable 'whooping' sound and discovered to her parents dismay that one of her little lungs . had collapsed. Struggling . and fighting for her life the little youngster was unable to feed . causing shocking water retention - making her tiny body DOUBLE in size. Today Mrs Webber warned all parents to be on guard against the killer virus as the outbreak of a new whooping cough epidemic was confirmed. She said: 'We brought her home from the hospital after she was born and the whole family had colds and coughs. 'So when Poppy started to develop a little cough and became a little groggy we didn't think anything of it we just thought she had caught our cold. 'I took to her the doctors for the first time when she had just turned two-weeks-old because she still sounded chested. 'When doctors checked her chest they said it was all clear, I went back a week later because nothing had improved but once again the doctor said her chest was completely clear. 'While we were chatting in the doctors surgery Poppy started to cough and the doctor just looked so alarmed - she said "I think it's whooping cough" and I just burst into tears. Doctors realised one of Poppy's tiny lungs had collapsed after she was rushed to Southend University Hospital . 'In the hospital me and my husband were sat beside her and she started to make the unusual coughing noise - which we were use to by now. 'And suddenly we were surrounded by doctors and nurses who were frantic that she wasn't going to be able to breathe. 'It was terrifying because she was just under four-weeks-old and I wanted to cuddle her and tell her she's going to be OK. I was helpless. 'It was unsettling because whooping cough has only recently started reoccurring again. 'One member of staff said it was only the second case they had ever seen.We worried because Poppy is so precious and tiny and she was brand new. 'The injection for whooping cough was released the day Poppy was submitted into hospital, if I was pregnant now I wouldn't even question having the jab. 'If you see your daughter struggling to breathe, covered in tubes, fighting for a life she's barely lived yet there is no doubt that you would want to stop that from happening. 'You never think it will be your child.' On the mend: Poppy is now recovering according to medics . Cases of whooping cough (pertussis) have soared since 2011 . Poppy, who was born on September 5, developed cold-like symptoms shortly after Mrs Webber gave birth. Unaware of the deadly symptoms, Mrs Webber from Southend, Essex, continued to monitor the "cold" taking her back and forth to the doctors. Little Poppy caught what is known as the "100 day cough" which lays undetected in the chest but can be picked up on early cold-like symptoms. The baby, now three-months-old, is still suffering from the illness but doctors hope she will make a full recovery. Mrs Webber, a care assistant who is currently on maternity leave, added: 'Me and Rob looked back over the video of Poppy coughing last night and you forget just how poorly she was. 'At one point her whole body was retaining so much water that it had collected to a point on her head. 'I panicked, I was unconsolable, I thought the worst - that she was going to be brain damaged. 'As the doctors moved her the water which had collected spread back through the body. 'Now she is slowly getting better, she is still coughing but she is out of the worst of it. We can only pray that she doesn't pick up any infections because her immune system is so weak. 'We just hope she'll get better and not have any long term effects.' Whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial infection of the lungs and airways. The medical term for whooping cough is pertussis. The condition usually begins with a persistent dry and irritating cough which progresses to intense bouts of coughing. These are followed by a distinctive 'whooping' noise. The coughing can last for around three months. Other symptoms include raised temperature and vomiting after coughing. Whooping cough is a cyclical disease with the number of cases peaking every 3-4 years. There is currently a peak occurring. Whooping cough is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, which can be passed from person to person through droplets spread by coughs and sneezes. It can be treated successfully with antibiotics and most people make a full recovery, however measures should be taken to stop it spreading. Children with whooping cough should be kept away from school or nursery until they have taken antibiotics for five days. The same applies to adults returning to their workplace. Young babies under the age of six months are likely to be admitted to hospital as they are most at risk of severe complications, such as serious breathing difficulties. They will be treated in isolation to prevent the infection spreading and will be given antibiotics into a vein through a drip (intravenously).Source: NHS Choices . | Poppy's condition was missed three times because her chest appeared clear .

Walking through the notorious St Raphael’s Estate in the shadow of Wembley Stadium, 13-year-old Raheem Sterling took care to put an extra sweater over his QPR tracksuit on the way to training. To do otherwise would be to invite intimidation or even a beating. Not because of club affiliations but because blue was the ‘wrong’ colour according to gangs who controlled the estate. There are many similar stories which help explain why England’s most talked about footballer is such a potent mix of ability, stubbornness and vulnerability. Raheem Sterling is set to return to QPR when Liverpool travel to Loftus Road on Sunday . The 19-year-old has received heavy criticism after not starting England's Euro 2016 qualifier in Estonia . ‘We can all talk about his tough upbringing. He was the one living it,’ says his first footballing mentor, QPR youth coach Steve Gallen. ‘He had the talent which coaches see once in a lifetime, if they’re lucky. But he needed support and guidance. We only knew half of what went on, otherwise we would have tried to help him even more.’ On Sunday, 19-year-old Sterling is due to return to Loftus Road for the first time since he left four years ago to join Liverpool, a move he admits was motivated by a need ‘to get out of London’. Assuming Brendan Rodgers feels the teenager can cope with the emotional baggage of the day, Sterling will arrive at his old ground with a higher profile than the Prime Minister. He has been caught in the middle of a slanging match between club manager Brendan Rodgers and England boss Roy Hodgson over whether he was too tired to start for his country in Estonia. England manager Roy Hodgson (left) and Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers (right) have had a war of words . Sterling started England's Euro 2016 qualifier against Estonia in Tallinn on the bench . The Liverpool star played in the 5-0 win over San Marino at Wembley the Thursday before . Gallen, who is still at QPR as Under 21 head coach, remembers vividly the first proper game he saw Sterling play in. ‘It was an Under 12 match against Wycombe,’ he says. ‘Wycombe would score, Raheem would score, Wycombe would score, Raheem would score. It was ridiculous. ‘I think Wycombe ended up winning 5-4 against our one-man team. When I got back to the club, I said I’d just been watching Raheem Park Rangers. He was totally running the show.’ Even then, there was another side to the skinny little kid who was vulnerable and defiant at the same time. Gallen adds: ‘I remember how good he was because of his athleticism and brightness, but when someone kicked him, he walked off crying. ‘It wasn’t the physical stuff that caused it. I’d go over to him and say, “Look, you can’t walk off, come on”. But he wasn’t really hurt by the foul, he was hurt because of losing. ‘He knew the rest of the team weren’t on his level. He was thinking, “I am trying so hard, scoring all these goals and they are letting them in, making me lose”.’ It was not long before every club in the country knew about Sterling. But his spiky, immature attitude was well-known, too. Concessions about his behaviour were made at QPR, who knew his story, a Jamaican-born kid who moved to London at the age of five, lost his father early and whose mother — with whom he was close — was often too busy caring for the rest of the family to watch Raheem play. Sterling played 120 minutes in Liverpool's Capital One Cup tie against Middlesbrough that went to extra-time . The area surrounding Wembley Stadium in north London where Sterling grew up . For most other clubs, however, Sterling represented a major risk. Remarkably, when he was put up for sale at 15, only two clubs — Liverpool and Fulham — backed up their interest with firm bids for England’s most talented teenager. ‘Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, they all knew about Raheem. But their attitude was: “Too small, too much baggage”,’ says Gallen. ‘At the time, I wanted him to stay at QPR. I persuaded the reserves to give him his debut at 15 so he’d feel he was being fast-tracked. But at one meeting, after training, Raheem said “Steve, I have to go”. ‘I could see how genuinely upset he was and I thought, “I can’t do that to a kid”, so we reluctantly agreed to listen to offers. ‘Now, with hindsight, I can see it was the right thing for him to leave, as much for a change in environment off the pitch.’ Andrew Whorms, 20, who played schools football with Sterling, believes his friend’s upbringing has played a key part. ‘He is humble. He took all the pressure that was on him and put it into his football,’ he says. ‘He’s worked hard; never took no for an answer. He’s got his reward and he deserves it. ‘A lot of people don’t realise how hard it is to get on in football. A few of us managed to stay in there and get a long way and he’s worked for everything. He was never afraid to take things in his own hands.’ Sterling moved to England from Jamaica aged five, and grew up on the St Raphael's Estate . A young Sterling in action for the QPR youth team before he made his move to Liverpool . When Fulham initially bid just under the £500,000 asking price to try to get a bargain, Liverpool had a clear run for the winger. What a bargain he looks now. He has already achieved more at Anfield, good and bad, than most players manage in a lifetime. His thrilling club form earned him a place in England’s World Cup team, where it is generally regarded he superseded Wayne Rooney as England’s best player. Less positively, an appearance in court just over a year ago earned a reprimand from Rodgers about his lifestyle, even though assault charges against an ex-girlfriend were dropped. He is a father now and can provide a lifestyle he himself never had. He hasn’t lost his feelings for QPR. ‘He texted me two days after we won the play-off final at Wembley to get into the Premier League,’ says Gallen. ‘He’d been at the match, gone there quietly and watched in one of the corporate boxes. My seven-year-old son can’t wait to meet him, so we’ll go down to the Liverpool dressing room afterwards.’ If Sterling plays, his every move is bound to be analysed for signs of fatigue. Hodgson claimed he had left Sterling on the bench in Tallinn because the player said he’d felt tired. Liverpool have turned on the England manager in fury despite Rodgers warning about the dangers of burn-out all season. Paul Lawrence, a football coach at Sterling’s old school which is now known as the ARK Elvin Academy . There are other factors at play that have helped the issue escalate. Rodgers is furious that his striker Daniel Sturridge was injured on England duty and Hodgson is resentful at the way he was treated as Liverpool boss during his brief, disastrous spell at Anfield. The 67-year-old also has an awkward personal relationship with Sterling, finding his teenage ways irritable. Liverpool and England team-mate Glen Johnson, who himself fell out with Hodgson at Anfield, has come out strongly in support of Sterling and says the player has been misrepresented, presumably by his international manager. ‘The way it’s been presented, Raheem was asking for a lie down. But obviously anyone with half a brain would know that’s not the case. He’d play every week if he can,’ says Johnson. ‘He was asked a question “How does he feel?”, and he’s said his thighs were tired. There is a difference between aching and demand a break from games to actually saying “I’m tired and I can’t play”. ‘You are never 100 per cent, certainly not when you are playing games every four days, you are going to play with knocks and pain and aches. I think club and country should support him, support young players. With Raheem, he is still growing, so he is going to have a demand on his body.’ The ARK Elvin Academy in Wembley where Sterling used to go to school . A certificate from 2007 which shows Sterling winning a Year 7 boys' high jump competition . So, what next for Sterling? A new deal at Liverpool is being talked about but remains unsigned. Interest from Real Madrid is genuine but not yet backed up by hard cash. QPR must hope Liverpool do sell in the summer. They would be entitled to 25 per cent of the fee, which would be about £60million on current market value. But Sunday afternoon is about remembering where it all started for Sterling. Paul Lawrence, football coach at Sterling’s old school, now known as the ARK Elvin Academy, says: ‘Raheem is an inspiration. He has gone to the highest level and that allows other kids here to dream. He’s a 19-year-old boy from Brent and he proves that if they’re serious and put in time and effort, they can achieve what they want. ‘There are so many I know who lose heart and stop playing football and don’t even play on the park with their mates any more. Raheem was different.’ His school pal Whorms adds: ‘In PE, the goals were tape on the walls of the gym and at lunchtime we’d put down bags and play in the cage with a tennis ball. ‘We saw them knock down the old Wembley and the new one coming to life. For a lot of us, it was always our dream to play inside. Raheem did it. He’s got true grit.’ | Liverpool star set to return to QPR on Sunday in Premier League clash .

By . Sara Malm . PUBLISHED: . 13:50 EST, 15 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 13:50 EST, 15 March 2013 . The Bolshoi ballet director partially blinded an acid attack has spoken of his determination to return to the stage 'as soon as' he can see again. Sergei Filin appeared at a press conference at the German hospital where doctors are trying to save his eyesight, saying he is ‘full of strength and faith’ that he will work again. The artistic director at the famous Moscow theater was attacked outside his home in January by a masked man who threw sulfuric acid in his face, leaving him with severe damage to his eyes and skin. Attacked: Sergei Filin dries his eyes during the press conference at the university hospital in Aachen, Germany, as he speaks about his determination to return to the Bolshoi when his sight returns . Swathed in a scarf and hat to cover his burns, he sat next to his doctors at Aachen University Clinic as they said they remain hopeful Mr Filin would recover useful . vision. ‘I am full of strength and faith that I will recover what has been unjustly taken from me,’ Mr Filin said. He said he was not afraid of returning to the theater despite reports of murky rivalries at the ballet that might have been behind the attack. Top Bolshoi dancer Pavel Dmitrichenko is accused of masterminding the acid attack, and has admitted to a court that he ordered a physical attack on Mr Filin, but that he never . expected the perpetrator to use acid. Mr Dmitrichenko has been refused bail and will remain in custody until April 18 as the investigation is carried out. Brave: Sergei Filin is helped onto the stage at today's press conference where he hid his face behind a pair of sunglasses and a black scarf and hat . No fear: Sergei Filin said he is not afraid to return as the Bolshoi's artistic director despite one of his top dancers admitting to ordering the attack . Getting there: Sergei Filin, second from left, listens as his doctors at the university hospital in Aachen, Germany, speak of his treatment . An alleged accomplice, Yuri Zarutsky, is accused of accepting 50,000 roubles, around £1,080, from Dmitrichenko to attack Mr Filin. Meanwhile doctors at Aachen University Clinic said one of Mr Filin's badly damaged eyes has already shown . some improvement. Dressed head to toe in black and . wearing large dark glasses, Mr Filin sat . quietly as doctors discussed his treatment, before addressing the audience. He said he was in daily telephone contact with his . deputy at the theater and had no fear about going back to . work. ‘As soon as I can see, I will go back and do the same work. I am . not afraid.’ Confession: Bolshoi soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko, pictured in court last week, has admitted to 'giving his blessing' to a physical attack on Filin but not that the perpetrator would use acid . Then and now: Sergei Filin pictured today at the conference, left, and, right, before the attack . Dr. Martin Hermel, an eye specialist, . said that Mr Filin suffered damage to the surface and inner parts of both . eyes and had undergone several surgeries. He cautioned that Filin faces . ‘complex and long-term treatment’ that could take months rather than . weeks. Dr Hermel said that he held out hope that Filin would ‘recover useable vision’ to allow him to return to his professional duties. While his . left eye had shown some improvement, Dr Hermel said his team 'cannot at this point make a . statement about the prognosis for vision in this eye.' The Bolshoi Theater's general director, Anatoly Iksanov, has accused veteran principal dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze of inciting tensions in the theater that led to the attack. Tsiskaridze, a long-time fierce critic of Iksanov who is reported to aspire to his job, has rejected the allegation. | Sergei Filin said he is determined to return to the Bolshoi ballet in Moscow .

San Francisco (CNN) -- She checked herself into a hospital weeks ago for a bladder infection. But nobody could have predicted it would end like this. When Lynne Spalding went missing from San Francisco General Hospital, her friends frantically searched and left messages on a Facebook page to keep each other hopeful. On Tuesday, the messages on the "Find Lynne" Facebook page turned from hope to anger. A body was found in an exterior stairwell of the hospital, and the San Francisco medical examiner confirmed Thursday that it is Spalding, also known as Lynne Ford. How could this be? Spalding's friends had searched throughout San Francisco, in alleys and shelters, handing out hundreds of fliers. They wondered whether the woman, dazed by powerful medication, was wandering around somewhere. "So we have a lot of questions as her family and friends," said David Perry, a Spalding family spokesman. "Did anyone see her leave the room? Did she leave alone? Is there videotape of Lynne leaving the hospital or wandering the halls?" All who looked for Spalding, 57, who has two adult children, assumed the hospital had been searched thoroughly. "Dumbfounded that they didn't find her for two weeks?! Where the hell were they looking?!" Liz Kennedy wrote on the "Find Lynne" website. "I honestly believe there should be an investigation into how the hospital areas were not thoroughly checked by the staff," another poster named Sunil Raj wrote. Hospital officials and police say they are investigating. The hospital says it has no idea how the body ended up in the rarely-used staircase. "We're distressed," Rachael Kagan, a spokeswoman for San Francisco General Hospital, told CNN affiliate KTVU. "We don't know what happened. That's our top priority, is to find that out." Spalding was admitted to the hospital on September 19, and her condition was improving when she disappeared two days later, according to the joint statement released by the hospital and sheriff's department. "She was in fair condition when she left her hospital room shortly after being checked on by a nurse at 10:15 a.m. Fifteen minutes later, the nurse checked on her again, and upon finding her room empty, initiated a search of the hospital," the statement said. Thirty minutes later after she disappeared, two of her friends and her boyfriend arrived at the hospital to visit, Perry said. They were told that Spalding had been missing for 30 minutes, Perry said. "Someone has died in a mysterious fashion at San Francisco General Hospital, an institution which is known for healing," Perry said. "And tonight I'm sure the staff of SF General is horrified and confused, certainly the family is horrified and confused." According to the joint statement, when the patient was not found, the hospital staff notified the family and sheriff's department officials on site. Deputies searched the campus, and did not find her. Corpse found in L.A. hotel's water tank . Spalding's body was discovered in the stairwell by a member of the hospital's engineering staff who was conducting a routine quarterly check, according to the statement. "The exterior stairwell is a fire exit that is not routinely used by staff, patients or the public. It is alarmed and locks from the outside; it exits to the hospital grounds at the bottom," it said. CNN's Lateef Mungin wrote and reported from Atlanta, and Dan Simon reported from San Francisco. | The body was discovered during a routine quarterly check, officials say .

There's just a few hours to go until Christmas Eve and Santa's reindeer in Lapland are getting ready for their biggest job of the year. But much further south in Scotland, the UK's only free-roaming herd of reindeer don't seem to have a care in the world as they wander across the snow-capped hills of the east Highlands. Rather than calling Lapland their home, the 150-strong Cairngorm Reindeer Herd can be found in two locations north of the border - and are now quite an attraction. Forget Lapland...these reindeer are Scottish: The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd is Britain's only herd of reindeer, found free ranging in the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland . Scottish . home: The herd rages on 2,500 hectares of hill ground between 450 and . 1,309 meters and stay above the tree line all year round regardless of . the weather . Hard-going: Eve Grayson, a Reindeer herder of the Cairgorm Reindeer Herd, feeds the reindeer this morning battling heavy snowfall as she goes . Almost ready for Christmas Eve: Reindeer were introduced to Scotland in 1952 by Swedish Sami reindeer herder, Mikel Utsi which has now grown in number . Around 50 animals can be found ranging . the Cairngorm Mountains while the remainder stay the Glenlivet Estate - . some 30 miles away. This morning, Eve Grayson was pictured battling the elements to herd the beautiful animals as snow swept across the landscape. The reindeer were re-introduced into the area in 1952 by a Swedish reindeer herder, Mikel Utsi. He started with just a few reindeer, but the herd has grown over the years. Hardy: Every reindeer regardless of sex or age grows a new set of antlers every year and they have thick winter coats for arctic life . Weather conditions: They have extra wide, splayed hooves so they can spread weight on soft snow to prevent them sinking . Tasty snacks: Reindeer enjoy nibbling on edible mushrooms, lichens and Arctic vegetation - not just carrots - and their calves are born in the spring . It is currently held at between 130 and 150 by controlled breeding, with most deer being born in the summer months. An account of the introduction written by Mr Utsi is featured on the official website for the animals. In . it, he says: 'Looking across Rothiemurchus Forest to the Cairngorms . from the railway bridge at Aviemore on a cold morning in April 1947, I . was instantly reminded of reindeer pastures in Lapland. Friendly: Reindeer can be very friendly and enjoy following people about, however during the rutting season bulls can be threatening . Herding: In Lapland dogs help with the herding of reindeer but at Glenmore in Scotland they are controlled by voice and titbits . 'In . 1952, I brought some of my Swedish mountain reindeer to Scotland as an . experiment, to show that they could live and breed in these . surroundings. 'Official . difficulties which had caused delay were overcome mainly through the . interest shown by the Press and the influence of the Reindeer Council of . the United Kingdom.' The animals are tame and are often drafted in to pull sleighs during the months of November and December. Uses: Reindeer are bred for meat and clothes can be made from the skin or hide. Reindeer hair is often used for weaving into expensive dress materials . Santa's little helper: The hard-working animals are all tame and regularly appear at festive gatherings throughout the winter months . In . winter, a daily visits to the herd departs from the Reindeer centre in . Glenmore - with guides taking visitors to the animals. Some of the friendlier reindeer have been known to search through rucksacks and follow visitors around on their tour. In . the winter months, teams of reindeer are rounded up to visit Christmas . parades around the country - hopefully getting everyone in the festive . spirit. The hard-working creatures also appear at certain promotional events and even work in film studios. Running free: The herd - which have also featured in numerous films and television shows - is kept at around 150 by controlled breeding . | The 150-strong Cairngorm Reindeer Herd are the UK's only free-roaming herd based in the east Highlands .

By . Meghan Keneally and James Nye . PUBLISHED: . 01:33 EST, 11 October 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 06:05 EST, 11 October 2013 . Legendary P.I: Joe Mullen a licensed New York private eye has has confirmed that Frank Gifford was Joanne Carson¿s alleged secret lover . Johnny Carson's wife Joanne was having an affair with former NFL star Frank Gifford revealed legendary New York private eye Joe Mullen on Thursday. Mullen was named by Carson's former lawyer and one-time best friend Henry Bushkin as one of three other men hired by the late-night television star to break into the secret Manhattan apartment of his second wife in 1970. Backing up Bushkin's claim that the gang discovered cast-iron evidence Carson's wife was indeed carrying-on with Gifford, Mullen also confirms that 'The Tonight Show' host broke down in tears when her infidelity dawned on him. Mullen told the New York Post's Page Six, 'I confirm I was present, indeed an eyewitness to the events described by the author as the so-called ‘break-in’ of the apartment used by Johnny Carson’s wife, Joanne. The head of the J.T. Mullen agency said, 'Break-in is a bit of a misnomer as no locks were picked and no windows broken. 'The group of us who accompanied Carson managed to convince the person on duty to let us into the apartment where we confirmed Carson’s suspicions, finding various framed photos of his wife with football legend Frank Gifford . . . and Gifford’s clothes were in a closet along with a bathrobe.' While Mullen, who has worked as a private investigator in the Big Apple since he was 16 does not claim that he saw that Carson was carrying a .38 revolver, he does say that the popular personality cried. In Happier Times: Johnny Carson and his bride, . actress-model JoAnne Copeland, are shown after their marriage in August . 1963 at left, and Frank Gifford is seen at right in his NY Giants . uniform that same year . 'At one point, Johnny leaned against the wall and began to sob. Once we had our evidence, we whisked him out of the apartment as quickly as we could.' Described as being straight out of Mickey Spillane, Mullen's revelations contradict those of Frank Gifford's current wife, 'Today Show' presenter Kathie Lee Gifford. The morning talk show host said on Tuesday that her 83-year-old husband could not remember whether or not he had an affair with Johnny Carson's second wife, as Carson's friend alleged in a new tell-all book. The affair between former NFL star Gifford and Joanne Carson reportedly took place in 1970, while Gifford was married to his first wife Maxine. Still together: This is not the first time that infidelity has been an issue for the former NFL star as his marriage to Kathie Lee (seen together in April) was rocked in 1997 from an affair . Reading the news: Kathie Lee opened up about the issue during her portion of the Today Show on Tuesday . Gifford married Maxine, his college sweetheart, in 1952 and were together for 26 years which means that the alleged Carson affair would have come during that time. 'I got the call and Frank was still asleep and... (she said) "Tell me, tell me! It was a long time ago. Did you have an affair with her?"' she recalled saying. 'I can't remember, maybe?' she said as her husband's response. 'No it's not true,' she followed up quickly. She was clear not to make total light of the claims, however, as she even threw in a jab about her husband's much publicized affair with a stewardess during their own marriage that was made public after it was revealed that the woman was paid by a tabloid to arrange the trysts. 'Although the man is capable of it as you know. It's not- he was friends with Joanne,' Kathie Lee said.

(CNN) -- Costa Rica suffered World Cup heartbreak as the United States salvaged a last-gasp 2-2 draw in Washington to deny the visitors an automatic place at next year's finals. Costa Rica's Michael Barrantes was left dejected after the U.S. snatched a late equalizer in Washington. Jonathan Bornstein scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time on Wednesday night to leave Los Ticos needing to beat Uruguay, the fifth-placed team from the South American group, in order to qualify for South Africa. Honduras clinched the third automatic place from the CONCACAF zone on goal difference from Costa Rica after ending their campaign with a 1-0 victory over El Salvador in San Salvador. The U.S. finished top of the six-team group as second-placed Mexico were also held to a 2-2 draw in their final match against bottom side Trinidad and Tobago, with the top two teams having already qualified last weekend. Football is on the rise in the U.S. Costa Rica had seemed set for a place in the finals after taking a 2-0 lead after only 24 minutes in the American capital, with both goals from Bryan Ruiz. The striker, who plays for Dutch club FC Twente, beat U.S. defender Steve Cherundolo and fired past goalkeeper Tim Howard for the opener in the 21st minute, and then curled in a superb left-foot effort soon after for the second goal. Michael Bradley pulled one back for the hosts in the 72nd minute after captain Landon Donovan's shot was blocked by goalkeeper Keilor Navas, but the U.S. suffered a big blow when defender Oguchi Onyewu was stretchered off with a knee injury nine minutes later. The AC Milan player is expected to be sidelined for three or four months after suffering a torn left patella tendon, the setback coming a day after U.S. forward Charlie Davies was severely injured in a car crash which may rule him out of the finals starting in June. The U.S. had already used all their substitutes when Onyewu went off, so had to finish the match with 10 men. Costa Rica coach Rene Simoes was sent off in time added on before Bornstein headed in a cross from Robbie Rogers to mean the visitors have yet to win a qualifier on U.S. soil in 24 years. "We put a lot of numbers in the box," Bornstein told FIFA's official Web site. "I don't usually go up for that, but it was last-shot time. No-one marked me. I just snuck in there and the ball landed on my head." Honduras qualified for only their second finals, 27 years after their debut appearance in Spain, thanks to a 63rd-minute winner from the Central American nation's all-time leading scorer Carlos Pavon. The 36-year-old striker rose highest at the far post to head his 55th goal in 92 internationals and banish bitter memories of the weekend, when he missed a penalty and another late chance from close range as Honduras lost 3-2 to the U.S. at home. | Costa Rica suffer World Cup heartbreak as U.S. salvage last-gasp 2-2 draw .

Ireland must wait a little longer to discover the great successor to Brian O’Driscoll as the two main contenders will pair up in the centres to face South Africa. The now-retired O’Driscoll has anointed Connacht centre Robbie Henshaw to assume his outside centre mantle - but the 21-year-old will start Saturday’s opening autumn Test at 12. The Athlone-born battering ram has replaced Gordon D’Arcy, still green after picking up a heavy knock in Castres at the end of last month. Connacht's Robbie Henshaw was expected to start at 13 as the long-term replacement for Brian O'Driscoll . Jonny Sexton, Henshaw and Jared Payne (right) will provide the creative spark in Ireland's backline . R Kearney (Leinster), T Bowe (Ulster), J Payne (Ulster), R Henshaw (Connacht), S Zebo (Munster), J Sexton (Racing Metro), C Murray (Munster), J McGrath, S Cronin, M Ross, D Toner (all Leinster), P O’Connell (Munster, capt), P O’Mahony (Munster), C Henry (Ulster), J Heaslip (Leinster). Replacements: R Strauss (Leinster), D Kilcoyne (Munster), R Ah You (Connacht), M McCarthy, R Ruddock, E Reddan, I Madigan (all Leinster), F Jones (Munster). That has paved the way for Ulster’s Jared Payne to slot in for his Test debut at outside centre, with Rob Kearney fit to start at full-back. Ireland boss Joe Schmidt is well known for keeping his cards close to his chest, and by pairing his two rivals for the famous 13 shirt in midfield he has not strayed from type one jot. From a centre pairing boasting 212 Ireland caps that closed last term’s Six Nations, Schmidt’s midfield duo will line up against the Springboks with a combined Test total of three appearances. Henshaw’s fourth international appearance is certainly a leap into the deep end, squaring up to the 102-cap South Africa captain Jean de Villiers. Tommy Bowe claims his wing berth after successfully negotiating return to play protocols after concussion. Brian O'Driscoll wipes the tears from his eyes after his final home International in last year's six nations . O'Driscoll has been Ireland's talisman at outside centre for more than a decade, and will take some replacing . Tighthead prop Mike Ross has won his fortnight-long fitness battle to ease Ireland’s front-row injury glut, with Leinster team-mate Sean Cronin slotting in for the sidelined Rory Best. Boss Schmidt must do without props Cian Healy, Marty Moore and Nathan White, so Rodney Ah You covers tighthead from the bench. Richardt Strauss takes a seat on the bench and is in line for his first cap since June 2013, and his second against the country of his birth. The 28-year-old has battled back from heart surgery and then tearing his hamstring off the bone to return to the Test arena. Barring long-term absentee Sean O’Brien Ireland have the luxury of selecting from strength in the back-five of the pack, with Paul O’Connell again captain and Chris Henry continuing at openside.

Karl Rominger, 41, has been charged with stealing $535,135 of his clients' money, which he used to fund gambling trips at casinos . The former attorney for Penn state football coach Jerry Sandusky has been charged with stealing $535,135 of his clients' money, which he used to fund gambling trips at casinos and other personal interests. Karl Rominger, 41, who represented Sandusky during his child-sex abuse trial, allegedly misappropriated funds from clients that include a car accident victim, the spouse of a divorced couple and the survivors of a woman's estate. Rominger apologized to the former clients he had 'wronged'. 'I look forward to accepting the consequences and putting this behind me, while making restitution,' he said, according to PennLive.com. Cumberland County investigators filed 25 charges for theft and fund misappropriation on Friday. They said Rominger could still face more charges as the investigation is not yet complete. In his affidavit, chief detective Les Freehling wrote that Rominger's financial records were in such a state of 'disarray' that it had been hard to account for additional possible losses. Rominger came under investigation last year after he failed to materialize $147,883 from the sale of a marital home during a divorce case, Freehling said. It was then discovered that $800,000 in client money was missing from a bank account under the former attorney's control. Rominger, who said he hasn't gambled since last March, voluntarily surrendered his law license and is currently free on $250,000 bail. District Attorney David Freed said there is still at least 'one other substantial situation' being investigated. He added that investigators have also yet to be given access to all of Rominger's files due to claims of attorney-client privilege.

By . Matthew Morlidge . Follow @@MattMorlidge . After a solitary year at Liverpool ended with just eight appearances, it's safe to say that not many fans would have been expecting Gabriel Paletta to star at a World Cup. But eight years after his fateful season on Merseyside, the Argentine-born defender could be tasked with stopping his former team-mates with in Brazil. England take on Italy in their first group game in Manaus, and will be wary of the presence of Mario Balotelli and the guile of Andrea Pirlo. But what about another man included in the 30-man provisional squad, Paletta? Surprise: Gabriel Paletta was included in Italy's 30-man provisional World Cup squad . Eight years ago: And Paletta was signing on the dotted line at Liverpool, as a 20-year-old hopeful . Aged just 20, Paletta made the brave decision to join Liverpool in a £2million move from hometown club Banfield. Labelled as one for the future after starring in the Under 20 World Championships alongside Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero, the South American signed a four-year contract. 'Paletta is very tough and he's exactly the sort of player we need who will suit the Premiership,' Rafael Benitez said back in the summer of 2006. 'If you're talking about Liverpool, he's more like 'Carra' (Jamie Carragher) than Sami Hyypia.' Unfortunately for Paletta, he struggled to settle in England and played just three times in the Premier League, though he did manage to score in a League Cup game. A return to Argentina followed with domestic giants Boca Juniors benefitting from some solid displays, but it was Paletta's next move that has seen him thrust back into the English spotlight. Parma snapped up the 6'3" defender, and he flourished working in a back three. Up and coming: Paletta was in the same Argentina youth side as Lionel Messi at the 2005 Under 20 World Cup . Ready for England: Paletta poses with manager Rafael Benitez and Fabio Aurellio upon signing on Merseyside . Rare high moment: Paletta celebrates his solitary goal for Liverpool against Reading in the League Cup . Due to his Italian ancesstors in Crotone, Paletta was deemed eligible for the national side - but only made his debut in March this year. Despite the 28-year-old's international inexperience, Cesare Prandelli had seen enough to warrant Paletta with a spot in his World Cup squad, and an opportunity to help the four-time champions conquer once again. Can he stop Daniel Sturridge, Steven Gerrard and Co? Will he make it?

By . Helen Pow . and James Nye . PUBLISHED: . 22:29 EST, 19 February 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 01:56 EST, 20 February 2014 . A Missouri middle school sports coach charged in the grisly murder of a 10-year-old girl shot the bubbly fourth grader in the head, authorities have revealed, after he snatched her off the street and threw her into his truck 'like a rag doll.' Craig Michael Wood, 45, is facing first-degree murder, kidnapping and armed criminal action charges in the death of Hailey Owens, who was taken from the street in front of horrified witnesses while walking home from a friend's house Tuesday evening in Springfield. He could be sentenced to death if convicted. Hailey's body was found in his basement early Wednesday - stuffed in two trash bags inside plastic storage containers. The floor was still damp from bleach, a probable cause statement said. Scroll down for video . Tragic: Craig Michael Wood, 45, is facing first-degree murder, kidnapping and armed criminal action charges in the death of Hailey Owens, pictured . Hailey Owens: Witnesses say a man grabbed Hailey from in front of a neighbor’s home and drove away in a gold 2008 Ford Ranger Tuesday afternoon . Authorities won't officially confirm . that the body is Hailey's until after an autopsy, but Springfield Police . Chief Paul Williams said 'we have a high degree of confidence' in the . preliminary identification, which indicates that it is the girl. Wood was inside a truck parked outside his small, single-story home in Springfield when police arrested him Tuesday night, just hours after the abduction. The truck is owned by the suspect's parents, Jim and Regina Wood, who told authorities their son drove the vehicle. The 45-year-old was holding a roll of duct tape in his hands when officers arrived, the statement said. Wood agreed to go to police headquarters for an interview where he denied having any contact with his alleged victim. According . to Greene County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Patterson, who filed the . charges with tears in his eyes late Wednesday afternoon, Wood grabbed the girl as several . residents watched in horror and later shot her in the back of the head in his home. A spent .22 caliber shell casing was also found in the basement of his home. There was also evidence that her wrists had been tied, according to the probable cause statement, though no other details about what happened between the kidnapping and her death have been released. Witnesses . told investigators that a man in a gold 2008 Ford Ranger pickup truck . drove down the street several times before abducting Hailey. They said they heard the driver ask the girl where 'Springfield Street' was. She turned to walk away from the vehicle before the driver opened the door and said, 'Hey come here a minute.' Owens took a step or two toward the truck before 'the male then lunged out of the vehicle' and grabbed her. Charged: Craig Michael Wood, 45, was taken into custody on Tuesday night, about three hours after Hailey Owens was abducted from a street near her Springfield home . Investigation: Police and FBI agents investigate the scene where Craig Michael Wood was arrested in Springfield, Missouri, on Wednesday . Williams . said the witnesses called 911 to report the truck's license number. Resident . Ricky Riggins told the Springfield News-Leader he chased the fleeing . pickup in his car after a neighbor tried to pull the girl away. 'I couldn't keep up,' Riggins told the newspaper. 'He was probably five to six cars ahead of me. ... It was so fast.' Hailey . did not attend Pleasant View School, where Wood worked. She was a . student at Westport Elementary School this year, and attended Bowerman . Elementary School last year. Williams said the girl and Wood apparently didn't know each other. 'There's no connection that we've been able to determine at this time between the victim and the suspect,' the chief said. Hailey's aunt, Erin Petersen, believes the suspect was on a mission to find a girl Tuesday night. 'And it just so happened he found my girl,' she told the News-Leader tearfully Wednesday. Petersen and her husband, Rex, with other family members were out searching for Hailey from the time she was abducted until police reported finding a body in the early hours Wednesday morning. 'Who could sleep when your child is missing? We just prayed for the best and prepared for the worst,' she said. In shock: Hailey's mother, Stacey Barfield, pictured, is in denial about her daughter's death, the girl's aunt said . She told the newspaper she was furious and confused at what happened. 'How can he be human and treat another human like that? ... I just don't understand it.' Hailey's mother, Stacey Barfield, is being 'very strong' but is still in denial, Petersen said. 'She's not angry yet; she hasn't even . had a good cry in private,' she said. 'She broke down on my shoulder, . briefly. She said, "I'm not going to have my little Mini anymore."' Petersen described Hailey as 'an absolute ray of sunshine.' Tearing up, she told the News-Leader the 10-year-old loved to play in the dirt, but also loved to dress up and wear sequins. She said Hailey collected rocks, climbed trees and loved to wear her aunt's shoes around the house. 'She loved hugs and kisses,' she said. 'She loved babies, she loved animals, she loved to be outside.' Rex Petersen said Hailey was 'so good with the kids, she was just so loving.' In a tribute, he wrote, 'She fought hard ... the little hero did not back down. She was a warrior.' Springfield . school officials said Wood is a seventh-grade football coach and . teacher's aide who supervises in-school suspensions at Pleasant View . School, which has students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Norm . Ridder, the Springfield district's superintendent, said in a statement . Wednesday that Wood began working for the district in August 1998. He . said Wood has been suspended since his arrest. Wood . was initially hired as a temporary employee who worked as a substitute . teacher before he was hired full time in 2006, school district . spokeswoman Teresa Bledsoe said later Wednesday. He has coached football . at Pleasant View since 1998 and was also an assistant boys' basketball . coach. Crime scene: Woods was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in the death of a 10-year-old girl. A body believed to be that of Hailey Owens was found Wednesday at the home owned by Wood, Police Chief Paul Williams said at a news conference . 'He met all of our . qualifications for employment,' Bledsoe said, noting that the . Springfield district has a more rigorous background check requirement . than state law, with an additional screening designed to detect . substantiated allegations of child abuse or neglect as well as any past . criminal violations. A . records search shows Wood had little criminal history. He pleaded guilty . to possession of a controlled substance in 1990 in Greene County and . was fined $100. Wood also was convicted in 2001 for illegal taking of . wildlife, the News-Leader reported. Williams said police have no idea of a motive for the killing. He said Wood has not talked to investigators since his arrest. The News-Leader also spoke with the . suspect's father, Jim Wood, who claimed he didn't know about the Amber . Alert until he got home Tuesday and found police waiting for him. He told the newspaper on Wednesday, 'He's my son, and he's in a lot of trouble.' FBI agents searched a nearby laundry business early Wednesday. Attendant Tress Brown wasn't allowed to enter the building until law enforcement had gone through the contents of a washing machine and two dryers, according to the News-Leader. 'He was washing away his evidence, I am guessing,' Brown said. Approximately 35 police and FBI arrived at Wood's home to search his property and his Ford Ranger Tuesday night. Sad: The witness reports triggered a multi-state Amber Alert, Springfield police said on Wednesday . Police said they also found evidence of foul play in the area but offered no other details at that time. Witnesses . told police they saw a man — matching Wood's description — abduct . Hailey near her home in the 3200 block of W. Lombard Street shortly . before 5 p.m. Tuesday. They . said the man approached her, asked her for directions and then pulled . her into a 2008 gold Ford Ranger with Missouri tags 1YF454 or 1YS454. A . witness, Carlos Edwards, told a News-Leader photographer he saw the . girl being abducted as he and his wife sat in the garage of their home. Edwards . said the suspect drove up and down the street several times before . pulling up alongside the girl and asking her if she knew the location of . Springfield Street before grabbing her. Edwards said he tried to run after the truck as his wife got the license number and called 911. A . Springfield Public Schools employee database shows that Craig M. Wood . was first employed in August 1998 as a paraprofessional for in-school . suspension. Loving: Hailey's aunt, Erin Petersen, described her as 'an absolute ray of sunshine' A salary list . published by the district for this year shows he was still working in . that role and as a coach and made $17,220 last year at Pleasant View . Middle School. Springfield . Public Schools Superintendent Norm Ridder said in a statement Wednesday: . 'Last night we learned the terrible news that one of our students had . been abducted near her home. This morning, our sadness is compounded by . the recent developments in the case of Hailey Owens’ abduction. 'The suspect in this case, Craig Michael Wood, was arrested by Springfield Police Department. Wood has been employed by SPS since August 18, 1998. 'He works as a paraprofessional and athletic coach at Pleasant View K-8 School. His employment has been suspended until this matter is resolved.' Initially, Hailey's abduction triggered a multi-state Amber Alert, Springfield police said on Wednesday. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation canceled a statewide Amber Alert for the 10-year-old and reported on their website Wednesday that at 7 a.m. local time, Springfield police 'announced that they had a suspect in custody and that (Hailey) was deceased.' Wood is being held in the Greene County jail, according to the jail's online booking records. On Tuesday, Hailey's mother said she was trying to stay strong.

Hailey's body was found in his basement early Wednesday - stuffed in two trash bags inside plastic storage containers. The Tragic: Craig Michael Wood, 45, is facing first-degree murder, kidnapping and armed criminal action charges in the death of Hailey abducted from a street near her Springfield home was arrested in Springfield, Missouri, on Hailey's mother, Stacey Barfield, pictured, is in denial about her daughter's death, the girl's described her as 'an absolute ray of sunshine' A |
Shannon Gee, 16, from Camborne, Cornwall, died two hours after overdosing on tablets, inquest told . A schoolgirl who was called a 'fat b***h' and told to lose weight by online bullies died two hours after overdosing on tablets, an inquest heard today. Shannon Gee, 16, walked downstairs and told her father she had 'done something silly' before showing him a bundle of empty pill packets which she had hidden in her bedroom cupboard. The teenager, from Camborne, Cornwall, collapsed shortly afterwards and was rushed to hospital but died from the incident in September 2012. During the first day of an inquest into her death, the hearing heard how Shannon had been mercilessly bullied at school which led to a poor attendance record and meant she rarely left her bedroom. But, despite hiding away, the aspiring actress was also targeted on Twitter and Facebook - battles which she fought 'from the safety of her own room', the inquest was told. Her mother Christine Gee said the problems had started when Shannon was diagnosed with dyslexia and the school 'shined a spotlight on her'. She said: 'The school was very quick to recognise that she displayed some of the common symptoms. But they ultimately succeeded in shining a spotlight on her. 'The other schoolchildren clearly gave their opinions and suggested that she was thick and that she was only getting help because she was the teachers' pet.' In a statement read to the hearing, she added how Shannon was a 'curvy girl' who had been picked on due to her weight . 'She used Twitter, Facebook and other social media facilities to communicate. I know she found herself on the receiving end of some heartless comments,' she said. 'She was a curvy girl. She was called a 'fat b***h,' a 'fat cow' and was told to lose some weight. She fought these little battles from the safety of her own room.' Shannon's half-brother Christopher Harrison, who spent an hour with her on the morning of her death, told the inquest how Shannon had been worried about the bullying. 'There was stuff going on with the school. It was bullying,' he said. 'People were calling her fat and things and she was worrying about her weight. 'I think she had fallen out with one of her main friends which had upset her quite a lot.' Her mother had told the inquest how Shannon, a keen drama student, was 'loving and generous' and had hoped to move to New York one day. But, in the months before her death, Shannon had also been worried by family tensions and the well-being of 'significant adults' in her life, the hearing heard. The inquest also heard how she had become an 'agony aunt' for her peers at the Pool Academy, where she went to school. Her mother added: 'These burdens became too much for her to bear. But it was damned if you do and damned if you don't.' The teenager attended Pool Academy (pictured), west Cornwall, where it is alleged she was bullied by her peers. The inquest heard she was also targeted online - battles she fought 'from the safety of her own room' The day before her death in September 2012, Shannon went to Plymouth to go shopping with a friend. She spent the night at the friend's house before returning home on the Sunday. While at home, her half-brother, a shop assistant, added that Shannon was 'not really talking' and was 'very quiet and tired'. He said: 'If there was anything she would not have told me. She had issues and things that she needed to talk about to do with the family and with school.' She told her father that night how she did not want to go to school the next day, the hearing heard. Hours later, Shannon had collapsed and was taken to Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro, where she died. In a statement, her father Paul told the inquest: 'She seemed quite assertive and there was no shortage of other future plans. She would have known full well that we would not have made her go to school. 'There was nothing about her demeanor that suggested she had already taken any tablets.' Talking about the pills, he added: 'I have no idea how she got hold of them or how long she had been storing them. She was very unclear about how many she had taken.' Heather Campbell, a specialist social worker who worked with Shannon, said the teenager was first referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in 2011. She was referred for a second time in February 2012 and went to four further appointments. Ms Campbell said Shannon had talked about different concerns in her personal life, including an allegation of rape between two people she knew well, self-harm and her mother and father arguing. She said: 'She talked quite a lot about the difficulties and the stress relating to her family life. She disclosed that living at home had become "unbearable".' She added that Shannon told her that she 'wanted to try' self-harm, saying: 'Shannon wanted to see what it was like but said that she would never do it again. She had thoughts about what it would be like to be dead but not about doing it.' After that, Shannon's appointments were stopped over the summer holidays and organised to start again in September. The four-day inquest at Truro City Hall (pictured) heard how the student had hopes to move to New York one day. The hearing heard she died at Royal Cornwall Hospital after collapsing at home following an overdose . The hearing heard how Shannon's desperate father had phoned Ms Campbell to ask if they could move the appointment forward as his daughter 'wasn't doing very well'. He also took her to the GP and visited her school. But the inquest heard how a phone message left by the organisation after the summer holidays was never returned. Shannon did not attend another appointment. After Shannon's death, a serious case review was launched. It found that there was action or omission by the services that led to Shannon's death. But Ms Campbell told the inquest how Shannon had been 'thriving' at their last meeting. She said: 'I believe the way forward for Shannon was what she was asking for. She was looking forward and moving on. 'She was really engaged and insightful. I think there are lessons to be learned but I do not think I could have done anything at the time. 'At the last meeting she was thriving. She was doing really well and moving forward.' Both of Shannon's parents have been excused from attending the inquest due to illness. The four-day hearing in her death, held at Cornwall Coroner's Court, continues.

"her death in September 2012, Shannon went to",
"Plymouth to go shopping with a friend. She spent",

"of other future plans. She would have known full",
"well that we would not have made her go to",
"school. 'There was nothing about her demeanor",
"that suggested she had already taken any",
"tablets.' Talking about the pills, he added: 'I",
"have no idea how she got hold of them or how long",
"she had been storing them. She was very unclear",
"about how many she had taken.' Heather Campbell,",
"a specialist social worker who worked with",
"Shannon, said the teenager was first referred to",
"Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in",
"2011. She was referred for a second time in",
"February 2012 and went to four further",
"appointments. Ms Campbell said Shannon had talked",
"about different concerns in her personal life,",
"including an allegation of rape between two",
"people she knew well, self-harm and her mother",
"and father arguing. She said: 'She talked quite a",
"lot about the difficulties and the stress",

"living at home had become \"unbearable\".' She",
"added that Shannon told her that she 'wanted to",
"try' self-harm, saying: 'Shannon wanted to see",

"that, Shannon's appointments were stopped over",
"the summer holidays and organised to start again",
"in September. The four-day inquest at Truro City",
"Hall (pictured) heard how the student had hopes",
"to move to New York one day. The hearing heard",
"she died at Royal Cornwall Hospital after",
"collapsing at home following an overdose . The",
"hearing heard how Shannon's desperate father had",
"phoned Ms Campbell to ask if they could move the",
"appointment forward as his daughter 'wasn't doing",
"very well'. He also took her to the GP and",
"visited her school. But the inquest heard how a",
"phone message left by the organisation after the",
"summer holidays was never returned. Shannon did",
"not attend another appointment. After Shannon's",
"death, a serious case review was launched. It",
"found that there was action or omission by the",

Berlin (CNN) -- An Italian anarchist group has claimed responsibility for a failed mail bomb attack on Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackermann, German investigators said Thursday. A suspicious package sent to Ackermann contained a functioning bomb, law enforcement officials in the state of Hesse said. The package also contained a note from the Informal Federation of Anarchists, or FAI, the Frankfurt state prosecutor and Hesse investigators said in a statement. The note mentioned "three explosions against banks, bankers, ticks and blood suckers," the officials said. The letter raises the possibility that two other letter bombs were sent out to other institutions, the statement said. The FAI an offshoot of the Italian Anarchist Federation. The group has claimed responsibility in previous years for failed mail bombs sent to some European embassies. Formed in 1945, the Italian Anarchist Federation had seen "a slow but constant increase" of supporters in recent years, said the website of an umbrella group, L'International des Federations Anarchistes. The Italian organization aims for "radical change" in support of "oppressed and exploited peoples," doing so with opposition to political powers and even the Catholic Church, the website said. The package was intercepted Wednesday, said police in New York, whom the Germans alerted so they could step up security at Deutsche Bank offices in Manhattan. The device, which contained shrapnel, was detected in the bank's mail room around 1 p.m. local time, said New York Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne. It did not detonate. "The return address was listed as a European central bank, which would likely increase the chances of him opening it," said Browne, who urged a general increase in mail room security. | NEW: Note from anarchist group mentions "three explosions," raising possibility of other bombs .

By . Chris Greenwood . PUBLISHED: . 19:07 EST, 12 December 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 19:12 EST, 12 December 2013 . Romanians are being arrested in London at seven times the rate of Britons, it was revealed yesterday. Around 800 people from the Eastern European state were arrested in the capital last month, according to official figures. Many of them are linked to a wave of cashpoint fraud which cost an estimated £40million in the first six months of this year alone. Homeless Romanians congregate on Park Lane in London: The police has been told to investigate why the latest arrest figures are so disproportionate . Police say that for every 1,000 Romanians in London, 183 are arrested. This compares to 26 Britons per 1,000. Police chiefs have been told to investigate the reasons behind the hugely disproportionate figures. They are concerned that they could rise even higher when restrictions on Romanians and Bulgarians living in Britain are lifted on January 1. The Government is preparing for a ‘comprehensive’ review of how foreign national offenders are treated in the criminal justice system. There are concerns that gaps in cross-border intelligence checks are allowing prolific and dangerous offenders to slip through the net. The latest figures emerged at a summit about the threat posed by foreign criminals held at City Hall, in Central London. Romanian gypsies congregating in Marble Arch, London: For every 1,000 Romanians in London, 183 are arrested . Stephen Greenhalgh, the capital’s deputy mayor for policing, was told the Met has undertaken an in-depth study of overseas offenders. It found that Romanians account for more than 11% of all foreign national offenders, despite making up just a tiny proportion of residents. This placed the Eastern European nation at the top of a ‘league table’ of foreign suspects, followed by people from Poland, Lithuania, India and Nigeria. The other five countries in the top 10 were Ireland, Portugal, Pakistan, Jamaica and Somalia. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, of the Met, admitted there is a ‘capability gap’ when it comes to tackling overseas offenders. He said that ‘historically’ there has not been a ‘strong enough’ relationship between police and Home Office border staff. Homeless Romanians congregate on Park Lane in London: Around 800 people from Eastern Europe were arrested in the capital last month . There now needs to be a ‘concerted effort’ by both agencies, he added, to identify and kick out the most dangerous criminals operating on British soil. Mr Rowley said: ‘By definition, much of the information that would help us deal with these people more effectively is held in their home country. ‘It is only if people are here a long time and develop a criminal history that this gap is equalised. There is a capability issue that needs to be closed.’ A Met study discovered that foreign national offenders are more likely to be cautioned and less likely to be prosecuted. They are also arrested more often for low level offences such as ticket touting, begging and prostitution. Senior officers are concerned that they often cannot get information about the criminal histories of European suspects while they are in custody. They hope to reach an agreement with Poland, Lithuania and Romania by February for ‘fast time’ access their criminal databases. Officers from Poland and Romania are already working in London in a bid to improve links between the countries. Scotland Yard has scored some significant victories by deporting dangerous men in the face of lengthy court appeals, often on human rights grounds. Among them was a serial knifepoint robber and sex offender sent back to Sierra Leone after 18 years in Britain. He was named as a suspect in 46 inquiries. A violent Jamaican gangster with convictions for rape and armed robbery was deported using police intelligence and banned from the country for a decade. Around 70,000 foreign nationals are arrested in London every year, about 28% of all criminal suspects taken into custody. Intelligence analysts also estimate that a quarter of the most dangerous criminals are from overseas. Speaking after the meeting, Mr Greenhalgh said: ‘The police have upped their game and there is now stronger enforcement against foreign national offenders. ‘Now we need to make sure the police get the intelligence from overseas partners so the prior convictions of all offenders are routinely available. ‘Foreign nationals who commit crime must be treated the same as British nationals. London is a global city but it must not be a soft touch for foreign criminals.’ | Many arrests linked to cashpoint fraud costing £40million in six months .

By . Nick Enoch . PUBLISHED: . 10:55 EST, 25 June 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 12:10 EST, 25 June 2012 . It contains a collection of healing potions and cure-alls unlikely to be prescribed by any GP today. But a perfectly preserved medicine chest dating back to the reign of George III is expected to fetch more than £3,000 when it sells at auction later this week. The mahogany box, described as a 'medicinal time capsule', comes complete with 29 exotically named bottled concoctions that would have been used by doctors to treat ailments such as gout, depression and indigestion. A perfectly preserved medicine chest dating back to the reign of George III is expected to fetch more than £3,000 when it sells at auction later this week . The chest, dated 1817, comes complete with an instruction book . However, the likes of Laudanum - described in an accompanying handbook as 'as one of the most valuable medicines afflicted with mankind' - are now strictly controlled. This is not that surprising as Laudanum, an alcoholic herb preparation, contains opium. Other remedies popular in 1817, when the chest was made up, such as Turkey rhubarb (a plant thought to have healing properties), and cream of tartar (a byproduct of winemaking that was used as a laxative), have long since been replaced by more modern medicines. The set, found at a house in Derbyshire, also contains scales and mixing bowls . The mahogany box, described as a 'medicinal time capsule', comes complete with 29 exotically named bottled concoctions that would have been used by doctors to treat ailments such as gout, depression and indigestion . Other remedies popular in 1817, such as Turkey rhubarb, a plant thought to have healing properties, and cream of tartar, a byproduct of winemaking that was used as a laxative, have long since been replaced by modern medicines . Here are just some of the 'miracle potions' found in the medicine chest... Manna: . A sweet substance obtained from various plants, especially from an ash . tree, Fraxinus ornus ('manna' or 'flowering ash') was used as a mild . laxative. Steers’s Opodeldoc: This liniment was made from soap, spirit of wine, camphor, rosemary oil and sometimes spirit of ammonia. Tincture of fine Turkey rhubarb: A plant thought to have healing properties. Peppermint water: Used to treat ailments such as diarrhoea, flatulence and vomiting. Laudanum: Alcoholic herb preparation containing opium, which 'seldom fails to occasion a calmness in the system whence its use in gout and spasmodic disorders'. Lavender: Herb (right) used for digestive ailments - and 'useful for cases of depression, sickness and languor'. Epsom salts: Used as a mild laxative and anti-inflammatory agent. Cream of tartar: Byproduct of winemaking used as a laxative. Best double-distilled cardamon: An aromatic spice used for digestive relief. The chest was discovered in a house in Derbyshire. Auctioneer Charles Hanson, who will oversee its sale in Derby on Saturday, said it may have been used out of hours by a doctor on call, or owned by the family of a large country house to carry with them on a long journey by horse and carriage. Mr Hanson, who has appeared on BBC1’s Bargain Hunt, added: 'It would appear the chest, which dates back to the early 19th century, has been untouched for almost 200 years. 'It is wonderfully complete. It even has its original companion instruction book on how to apply the medicinal potions in the glass bottles, and what they may cure. 'I suspect the box was only used once or twice to administer medicines and has then been hidden away in an old country attic or cellar for almost two centuries.' As well as the bottled medicines, the chest also contains a complete set of utensils including scales, mixing bowls and a scalpel. Mr Hanson said: 'The bottles are a variety of colour, with liquid and solid contents from the Georgian period still visible. 'It is a medicine chest far removed from today’s practising doctors.' The handbook claims that 'diseases which threaten the most fatal consequences may be averted or subdued by the exercise of good sense and prudence and by timely recourse to the medicine chest'. It adds that the medicines 'are of the best quality and are selected for their efficacy. The doses are in general smaller than professional men might deem necessary'. The booklets also contains a description of each remedy, and what it should be used for. The chest was made up a year before the first successful blood transfusion, and 30 years before the first painless surgery with general anaesthetic . It states that 'Turkey rhubarb is an admirable medicine for disorder of the bowel. The dose is ten to thirty grains mixed with peppermint water.' A bottle of Laudanum in the chest 'seldom fails to occasion a calmness and quietude in the system whence its use in gout and spasmodic disorders', according to the guide. It wasn't until 1870 that Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch realised germs - not 'bad air' - caused diseases, leading to innovations such as antibiotics. Above, an 1850s' cartoon of bugs in 'a drop of London water' And a teaspoonful of ‘spirit of lavender’ is 'useful for cases of depression, sickness and languor'. The chest was made up a year before the first successful blood transfusion, and 30 years before the first painless surgery with general anaesthetic. It wasn’t until 1870, 53 years later, that Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch established that germs - and not miasma, or ‘bad air’ - caused diseases, leading to important innovations such as antibiotics and hygiene practices. Mr Hanson said: 'The chest is a time capsule from the very early 19th century when medical advances were on the threshold. 'I hope it is purchased by a doctor or medical professional who can appreciate how far we have come in the last 195 years!'

By . Steve Robson . PUBLISHED: . 07:34 EST, 15 February 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 13:29 EST, 15 February 2013 . This is the moment N-Dubz rapper Dappy sparked a mass brawl at a petrol station after two teenage girls turned down his advances. The CCTV footage, which has been released after the singer was sentenced for assault and affray today, shows him approaching Grace Cochran and Serena Burton and asking them to come back to his studio. The scene turns nasty when they turn him down and he becomes aggressive. David . Jenkins, who had been talking to the two 19-year-olds, steps in to protect . them but is then spat at by Dappy before his friends Alfrd Miller and Kieran Vassell emerge and the fight breaks out. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . CCTV footage from the brawl sparked by N-Dubz star Dappy at a petrol station in Guildford . The brawl left the victims with broken teeth and another with a broken nose . Dappy's co-defendants Alfred Miller and Kieran Vassell have been jailed for their part in the attack . Mr Jenkins was left with several broken . teeth while another man, Oliver Billson, suffered a . swollen eye and a third, Christopher Gibson, suffered a broken nose. Dappy broke down in tears and shouted 'Yes' when a judge spared him jail today as he was sentenced for his part in the incident today. His lawyer Paul Greaney had pleaded with . judge Neil Stewart at Guildford Crown Court not to jail him claiming it would end his career in . the music industry. He also . argued the singer has already been punished enough because he can no . longer travel to America to work due to his conviction. The singer avoided an immediate jail term and was given a six-month sentence suspended for 18 months and ordered to do 150 hours community service. He was also ordered to pay £4,500 compensation and £2,000 in costs. The 25-year-old had faced up to three years in prison after being convicted for his part in a brawl at a petrol station in Guildford. The court heard during a nine-day trial how the pop star had sparked the fight after becoming angry when two teenage girls 'disrespected' him by refusing to get into his car to go to a party at his recording studios. Dappy was spared a jail sentence after being found guilty of affray and assault . The fight was sparked after Dappy became angry when two teenage girls sat on the pavement rejected his advances . Brian Stork, prosecuting, said . Dappy called Grace Cochran and Serena Burton, both 19, 'sluts' after they refused his advances and called him 'boring'. David . Jenkins, who had been talking to the two women, stepped in to protect . them but was spat at by Dappy. When Mr Jenkins put Dappy in a . headlock, his friends Kieran Vassell and Alfred Miller joined the fight. Mr Jenkins was left with several broken . teeth while another man, Oliver Billson, suffered a . swollen eye and a third, Christopher Gibson, suffered a broken nose. Dappy denied attempting to pick up the two women and told the court that he only spoke to them to promote his single. He . denied spitting at them and at Mr Jenkins and said his following . actions were simply as self-defence to get out of the headlock. Vassell denied affray and said he only acted to protect Dappy. The rapper is comforted by a friend as he leaves court today having been spared an immediate jail sentence . Jailed: Dappy's co-defendants Alfred Miller, left, and Kieran Vassell, right, were sent to prison for 19 months and 14 months respectively . During the trial, Dappy's lawyer argued that Miss Cochran and Miss Burton were 'unreliable witnesses' as they had sent Twitter and BlackBerry (BBM) messages saying they intended to sell their stories to the national newspapers. Victim: David Jenkins told the court he suffered broken teeth after being punched during the fight . Miss Burton also sent a message saying that she could not remember what happened and that she would "b*******' when she gave evidence. The court was told that Dappy had previous convictions for assault and possessing a bladed weapon. Paul Greaney, defending Dappy, said a prison term would bring an end to his career as a singer. He said: 'It is inevitable now that he will not be able to visit or work in America. 'Furthermore, as a result of the convictions, certain important radio stations will not play his records. 'His earning capacity now is extremely limited and those responsible for his management believe a period of custody will bring his career to an end.' He added: 'People depend on Mr .

Contostavlos and the court would be entitled to conclude that he has . learned a very important lesson indeed and he has shown real insight . into the impact on his victims of his behaviour that night.' Relieved: The singer broke down in tears and shouted 'Yes' as he found out he would not be jailed . Pleading: Dappy's lawyer said if he was jailed his career as a rapper would be over . Dappy, pictured left with his N-Dubz bandmates Tulisa and Fazer, said he has already been punished because he can't go to America to work due to his conviction . Praying as the verdict was announced, Dappy, wearing a white shirt and black tie, broke down in tears and shouted 'Yes' as Judge Neil Stewart announced that the prison term would be suspended. He was ordered to pay compensation of £2,000 to Mr Jenkins, £1,500 to Mr Gibson and £1,500 to Mr Billson and was also ordered to pay £2,000 towards court costs. Judge Stewart told Dappy he had spared him an immediate prison term because of his remorse at his actions. He said: 'The report I have on you suggests you do not present overtly criminal attitudes and this offence has been a wake-up call for you.' He added: 'Spitting at someone is a repulsive action and is more serious because you have done something similar in the past. 'Even on that aggravation, the offence would not be so serious as to merit a prison sentence. 'It is clear that this spitting triggered these events that culminated in the affray but was not part of the affray.' The judge added: 'The sentence I have decided on is not affected by any consideration of whether a person is well-known to the public.' Witnesses: The fight was sparked after Grace Cochran, right, and Serena Burton, left, refused Dappy's advances at a petrol station in Guildford . Brawl: The victims were left with facial injuries including missing teeth and a broken nose after the fight . Vassell, 25, of Hammersmith, west London, was also found guilty at trial of affray and was jailed for 14 months, ordered to pay £1,500 compensation and £500 costs. Judge Stewart said his actions were so serious that they could only be punished by a prison sentence. The court heard that Vassell had several previous convictions for supplying class A drugs and was also jailed for nine months in 2010 for theft of a car and dangerous driving. Miller, 28, a songwriter, of Brentford, west London, pleaded guilty to affray and was sentenced to 19 months imprisonment and ordered to pay £4,500 compensation and £1,000 costs. Sentencing Miller, Judge Stewart said: 'You used the greatest violence in the incident. 'Nothing other than an immediate period of custody can be justified'. The court heard he had previous convictions for possessing an offensive weapon, burglary and racially aggravated harassment. A fourth defendant, Kalonji Stewart, 32, of Harborne, Birmingham, was found not guilty at the trial of affray. Speaking outside court Detective Constable Alex Boxall, of Surrey Police, said: 'I hope the sentencing today of Dino Costas Contostalvos demonstrates that he will be making amends in public for his actions nearly a year ago on the forecourt of a petrol station in Guildford which left three men suffering serious facial injuries. 'He is a popular rapper who commands a large following and as a high profile musician in the public eye, it is important that the public see that there are consequences for anyone who demonstrates this type of aggressive behaviour and the sentencing today follows a robust investigation to find those responsible and bring them to justice.' Nigel Knight from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: 'This case involved a violent attack on three young men on a night out, who were admirably attempting to protect two girls they had just met. 'Anyone in the situation these victims found themselves in would have feared for their own safety. Unable to defend themselves, they were left with numerous injuries as a result of a gratuitous attack.' Outside court Dappy, wearing a black and white baseball jacket, stopped to share a hug with tearful fans before he was driven away in a black BMW car with blackened windows. As he drove off, one girl screamed: 'I love you Dappy'. | Singer was spared jail after being convicted of assault and affray today .

(CNN) -- Pre-order response to the iPhone 5 has been massive, outstripping expectations of analysts, who were bullish on Apple's latest smartphone to begin with, and apparently of Apple itself. Apple received more than 2 million pre-orders in the first 24 hours, double the number it got for last year's record-setting iPhone 4S release, the company said. Apple's initial promise to ship pre-ordered phones in a week, the same day they become available at Apple Stores and other retailers, was pushed back just an hour after pre-orders opened up at midnight Thursday. Now, it could take up to a month for the phones to ship. Wednesday morning, Apple's online store said a pre-ordered iPhone 5 would be shipped in three to four weeks. Apple hasn't released up-to-date pre-order numbers. But Piper Jaffrey analyst Gene Munster estimates the company could announce as many as 10 million sales by Monday morning. His "worst case" scenario is 6 million. Analyst Shaw Wu of Sterne Agee made light of initial reviews from the tech press that suggested the phone wasn't as new or different as Apple claims. "We find it interesting that many tech blogs and reviewers panned the iPhone 5 saying it 'lacked the wow factor' similar to the iPhone 4 that was plagued by 'antenna-gate' and the iPhone 4S which was a relatively 'minor' and 'disappointing' update with Siri as the key new feature," he wrote. "The previous iPhones went on to sell record number of units and we believe iPhone 5 will likely see a similar result." Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets agrees, saying his initial prediction of 5.5 million sales over the weekend was probably way too low. Apple's stock, which crested at $700 per share this week, could spiral to a mind-boggling $1,100 by this time next year, he said. Some folks were already seeking to cash in on the wave of popularity Friday -- before they even got their hands on one of the phones. CNN iReport: Lining up for an iPhone 5? On eBay, an unlocked, 16GB iPhone 5 had been bid up to more than $1,200 on Friday, presumably by folks in countries where the smartphone won't be released for weeks. Others were selling at prices ranging from $650 to $1,000. The iPhone 5 will be available at Apple stores in the United States, which will open at 8 a.m. Friday. Also selling them will be AT&T, Sprint and Verizon stores and some Best Buy, RadioShack, Target and Walmart locations.

By . Jill Reilly . PUBLISHED: . 08:11 EST, 27 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 11:17 EST, 27 March 2013 . Argentina's foreign minister demanded talks with Britain on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, but Britain again refused, pointing to the islanders' overwhelming vote this month to remain British. Hector Timerman, speaking Tuesday at the United Nations, called the referendum 'illegal' and said it is 'truly deplorable' that Britain has rejected 40 resolutions by the U.N. Decolonization Committee calling for negotiations between the two countries on sovereignty. Timerman was flanked at a press conference by ministers representing major Latin American and Caribbean organizations, saying he wanted to demonstrate the region's unity in support of Argentina's claim to the islands and its demand for sovereignty talks. Argentina's Hector Timerman, left, called the referendum 'illegal' but Britain's U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant countered that the Falkland Islanders exercised their right to self-determination through the referendum . Visitors: Ban Ki-moon, centre, with visiting Foreign ministers at the UN headquarters in New York . The islands in the south Atlantic have been British territory since 1765, but Argentina accuses Britain of invading the islands, which it claims and calls the Malvinas. Britain's U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant countered that the Falkland Islanders exercised their right to self-determination under the U.N. Charter in a referendum this month, and 99.8 percent of voters said they want to remain a British overseas territory. 'The United Kingdom government's position will remain that there will not and cannot be any discussions on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands unless and until the islanders so wish,' Lyall Grant said. 'Their views are now unequivocally on the record and should be respected by all.' Jubilant: Falkland islanders cheer after hearing the results of the referendum to remain part of Britain . An overwhelming yes: 98.8 per cent of eligible voters in the Falkland Islands voted to remain a part of Britain . Timerman denounced Britain's 'military invasion' of the Falklands but said Argentina wants a peaceful settlement. He claimed that Britain wants the Falklands as a military base 'with high offensive technology close to the Antarctic and close to the only natural waterway between the Atlantic and the Pacific.' He called this 'a strategic colonialist decision.' Timerman also accused Britain of refusing to answer 'if there are nuclear submarines or not in the area of the south Atlantic, which is an area of peace where the entry of nuclear weapons is prohibited.' Lyall Grant said Timerman's claim that Britain is militarizing the south Atlantic 'is completely untrue.' After Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982, Britain increased its defense presence to deter any future aggression, but Lyall Grant said it has not changed substantially in the last 30 years. Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner dismissed the referendum result in the Falkland Islands as 'a parody' Earlier Tuesday, Timerman met Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon along with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, representing the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States; Uruguay's Foreign Minister Luis Almargo, representing South America's Mercosur trade bloc; and Peru's Deputy Foreign Minister Jose Beraun, on behalf of the Union of South American Nations. Timerman said the secretary-general told the ministers that Britain again rejected his offer of good offices to negotiate on sovereignty of the islands. Lyall Grant said Britain doesn't see any need for Ban's good offices and has made it clear to Argentina that the views of the islanders must be taken into account in any discussions. Strong words: David Cameron said Buenos Aires should take 'careful note' of the referendum, which went 99.8 per cent in favour of remaining a British overseas territory . Uruguay's Almargo accused Britain of seeking to exploit the islands' energy resources and called the referendum 'dysfunctional,' saying it is not right to cut off part of Argentina through a referendum. He added that the dispute is 'becoming intolerable' for Latin America and for the U.N. itself. Earlier this month Argentina was warned to respect the wishes of the Falkland Islanders following their overwhelming vote to remain British. David Cameron said Buenos Aires should take ‘careful note’ of the referendum, which went 99.8 per cent in favour of remaining a British overseas territory. Just three unidentified islanders voted to end British sovereignty three decades on from the Falklands conflict. A total of 1,517 valid votes were cast in the referendum, a turnout of 92 per cent of the eligible islanders. The question was: ‘Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?’ Argentine president Cristina Kirchner has branded Falkland Islanders ‘squatters’ She claimed: ‘It’s like a consortium of squatters voting on whether they’re going to continue illegally occupying a building or not. The result was a foregone conclusion.’ Mrs Kirchner went on to dismiss the poll as a ‘parody’. Argentina insists that the islands it calls Las Malvinas were forcibly taken from Argentina by the British in 1833. Britain says the argument is unfounded, because no Argentine civilian population was ever expelled. Tensions between the two nations have escalated over the possibility of lucrative oil reserves in the region, which lie around 8,000 miles from the UK in the South Atlantic. | Argentina's foreign minister demanded .

(CNN) -- These are hard times in the United States. The government released its annual report on income, poverty and insurance coverage last week. The median income in the U.S. in 2010 was $49,445, which is 2.3% lower than it was in 2009. But that's just the median. To understand how bad things really are, we need to look at poverty. Let's be explicit. To qualify as below the poverty line, you have to be really poor. A single person under the age of 65 has to earn less than $11,244 to be considered in poverty. That's significantly less than a full-time minimum wage job. A single mother with a child has to make less than $15,030 to be considered in poverty. The percentage of people who met these criteria increased to 15.1% in 2010 from 14.3% in 2009. It's gone up steadily since 2007 when it was 12.5%. What really hurts, however, is exactly who in America qualifies as living in poverty. Because of the social safety nets in place, relatively few people over 64 are very poor (9%). Children, on the other hand, suffer greatly. About 22% of Americans under 18 live in poverty. Let me say that again: More than one in five children in the United States is living in poverty. Children account for more than one-third of all such people in the U.S. right now. Think about that when we talk about how to save money in the future. I'm a health services researcher, and incredibly invested in how we reform the health care system of this country. It's why I'd also like you to focus on the plight of the uninsured. In 2010, the report said, the number of people in the United States who lacked insurance for an entire year was 49.9 million. This is the largest number of people without insurance since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid. Almost all of these people are below 65. (Pretty much every American over 65 is on Medicare, after all.) It gets worse. The percentage of Americans who were covered by private health insurance decreased again -- to 64%; the number of people covered by employer-provided health insurance dropped to 55.3%. Where did all of these people go? Lots of them went to the government, as the number with Medicaid coverage increased to 15.9% and those with Medicare coverage increased to 14.5%. America is hurting. Unemployment is on the rise. Poverty is increasing. More people are losing or unable to get private insurance, and turning to our safety nets for coverage. Most of the benefits and improvements of the Affordable Care Act -- the large Medicaid expansion, the exchanges, the mandate, the subsidies -- won't go into effect until 2014. (An early feature of the act that has already gone into effect has allowed hundreds of thousands of young people under 26 to remain on their parents' insurance, and this group has fared better.) This is the truth we face as we talk about how to reform the health care system: Some claim we need to depend on the private market more and more, but it's shrinking and unable to cover those who need it. Some want to cut Medicaid funding, but it's responsible for covering more and more Americans. It's important to face reality. Of the 75 million or so children in the United States right now, more than one third are covered by Medicaid; an additional 10% or so are uninsured. When we talk about cutting Medicaid funding, we're talking about making things worse for these children. There's no getting around that. I know that there's a deficit problem, and I know that it's important to get a handle on entitlement spending. But we can't ignore that right now Medicaid is one of the cheapest insurance programs around. People seem to have forgotten, but the reason the Affordable Care Act puts 20 million more people in Medicaid is that it was cheaper than putting them in the exchanges to get private insurance. Moreover, about 5% of Medicaid enrollees account for more than 50% of all Medicaid spending. That spending is almost all on elderly and disabled people. It's unlikely these people will be cut from Medicaid. Poor children? Poor adults? Far more likely. There will be hard decisions ahead. No one can deny that entitlement spending, especially health care spending, is unsustainable on its current path. We must be able to look at the budget and talk about areas where we might spend less. That will inevitably lead to some groups getting less than they did before. Yet, as voting blocs and advocacy groups defend their piece of the pie, let's not forget those who cannot speak for themselves. The ranks of the poor are growing. They're populated with children. And they depend on Medicaid for their health care in increasing numbers. Let's not sacrifice their future while we're trying to save it for the rest of us. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Aaron E. Carroll. | Aaron E. Carroll says rising poverty numbers show one in five children affected .
He says this reality must be faced when deciding how to save government money .

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The apparent suicide of former government researcher Bruce Ivins is the latest development in the mystery of the anthrax attacks of 2001. Letters laced with the bacteria brought the disease into the forefront, sparking fear across America. Anthrax infetions result from bacteria called Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax comes from a bacterium called Bacillus anthracis, and infection can come in one of three forms: cutaneous (also called skin), inhalation (lung), and gastrointestinal(digestive). It emerged in World War I as a biological weapon, but has been blamed for plagues throughout history that killed both humans and livestock. How does a person become infected? You can get anthrax by handling products from infected animals, breathing in anthrax spores, and by eating undercooked meat from infected animals. There are few cases of infected animals in the United States. Anthrax is found more frequently in animals in developing nations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Why was it so scary in 2001? In the fall of 2001, anonymous letters laced with anthrax were sent to news agencies in Florida and New York, as well as to a congressional office building in Washington. Two postal workers died of inhalation anthrax as a result. An elderly woman from rural Connecticut, a Manhattan hospital worker from the Bronx, and an employee at a Florida tabloid magazine also died of the disease, possibly through cross-contamination. A total of 22 people fell ill because of these attacks. Seven survivors had confirmed cutaneous anthrax disease, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Bioterrorism experts say anthrax is difficult to use effectively as a weapon on a large scale, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Still, a person can contract the disease in other ways, and it is important to recognize its different forms. What does the disease do? • In cutaneous anthrax, the most common form, about 95 percent of infections happen with the bacterial spore enters a skin cut or abrasion, according to the CDC. At first an itchy bump appears that resembles an insect bite, which then develops into a painless ulcer with a black center. About 20 percent of untreated cases result in death, but the disease is seldom fatal if treated with antibiotics. • Inhalation anthrax at first resembles a cold or flu, causing a sore throat, mild fever, muscle aches, fatigue and mild chest discomfort, according to MayoClinic.com. While these first symptoms may appear to subside, a high fever, breathing problems, and shock can follow, MayoClinic.com said. This disease goes after the lymph nodes inside the chest. It may kill lung tissue and spread to the blood or brain, causing meningitis. Even with appropriate treatment, inhalation anthrax is usually fatal in about 75 percent of cases, MayoClinic.com said. Five of the 11 people infected with inhalation anthrax in the U.S. in 2001 died of the disease, in spite of antibiotics and other therapy, the CDC said. • Intestinal anthrax, which can come from eating contaminated meat, causes inflammation of the intestinal tract, the CDC said. An infected person may notice nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, and fever at first, then later abdominal pain, vomiting of blood, and severe diarrhea, the CDC said. Other symptoms may include lesions and soreness in the throat, difficulty swallowing, and swelling in the neck and regional lymph glands. This kind of anthrax is fatal in 25 percent to 60 percent of cases, the CDC said. Treatment . Antibiotics such as penicillin can treat anthrax, and a patient should receive treatment as soon as possible. The disease can be fatal if left untreated. Treatment takes about 60 days, since that is how long it may take anthrax spores to grow, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. How can you protect yourself? Avoid contact with livestock and animal products in countries where anthrax is common and herds aren't commonly vaccinated, the CDC says. Also try not to eat meat that has not been properly slaughtered and cooked. There is also a vaccine, reported to be 93 percent effective in protecting against anthrax, according to the CDC. The CDC recommends that certain people get vaccinated against anthrax. This includes people who work directly with the organism in a laboratory or work with imported animal hides or furs in areas with low standards to protect against exposure to anthrax spores. People who handle potentially infected animal products in countries with a high incidence of the disease, and work, and military personnel in areas with high risk of exposure to the bacteria, should also be immunized, the CDC said.

"ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The apparent suicide of",
"former government researcher Bruce Ivins is the",
"latest development in the mystery of the anthrax",
"attacks of 2001. Letters laced with the bacteria",
"brought the disease into the forefront, sparking",
"fear across America. Anthrax infetions result",
"from bacteria called Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax",
"comes from a bacterium called Bacillus anthracis,",
"and infection can come in one of three forms:",
"cutaneous (also called skin), inhalation (lung),",
"and gastrointestinal(digestive). It emerged in",
"World War I as a biological weapon, but has been",
"blamed for plagues throughout history that killed",
"both humans and livestock. How does a person",
"become infected? You can get anthrax by handling",
"products from infected animals, breathing in",
"anthrax spores, and by eating undercooked meat",
"from infected animals. There are few cases of",
"infected animals in the United States. Anthrax is",
"found more frequently in animals in developing",
"nations, according to the Centers for Disease",
"Control and Prevention. Why was it so scary in",
"2001? In the fall of 2001, anonymous letters",
"laced with anthrax were sent to news agencies in",
"Florida and New York, as well as to a",
"congressional office building in Washington. Two",
"postal workers died of inhalation anthrax as a",
"result. An elderly woman from rural Connecticut,",
"a Manhattan hospital worker from the Bronx, and",
"an employee at a Florida tabloid magazine also",
"died of the disease, possibly through",
"cross-contamination. A total of 22 people fell",
"ill because of these attacks. Seven survivors had",

"effectively as a weapon on a large scale,",
"according to the U.S. National Library of",
"Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.",
"Still, a person can contract the disease in other",
"ways, and it is important to recognize its",
"different forms. What does the disease do? • In",
"cutaneous anthrax, the most common form, about 95",
"percent of infections happen with the bacterial",
"spore enters a skin cut or abrasion, according to",
"the CDC. At first an itchy bump appears that",
"resembles an insect bite, which then develops",
"into a painless ulcer with a black center. About",
"20 percent of untreated cases result in death,",
"but the disease is seldom fatal if treated with",
"antibiotics. • Inhalation anthrax at first",
"resembles a cold or flu, causing a sore throat,",
"mild fever, muscle aches, fatigue and mild chest",
"discomfort, according to MayoClinic.com. While",
"these first symptoms may appear to subside, a",
"high fever, breathing problems, and shock can",
"follow, MayoClinic.com said. This disease goes",
"after the lymph nodes inside the chest. It may",
"kill lung tissue and spread to the blood or",
"brain, causing meningitis. Even with appropriate",
"treatment, inhalation anthrax is usually fatal in",
"about 75 percent of cases, MayoClinic.com said.",
"Five of the 11 people infected with inhalation",
"anthrax in the U.S. in 2001 died of the disease,",
"in spite of antibiotics and other therapy, the",
"CDC said. • Intestinal anthrax, which can come",
"from eating contaminated meat, causes",
"inflammation of the intestinal tract, the CDC",
"said. An infected person may notice nausea, loss",
"of appetite, vomiting, and fever at first, then",
"later abdominal pain, vomiting of blood, and",
"severe diarrhea, the CDC said. Other symptoms",
"may include lesions and soreness in the throat,",
"difficulty swallowing, and swelling in the neck",
"and regional lymph glands. This kind of anthrax",
"is fatal in 25 percent to 60 percent of cases,",
"the CDC said. Treatment . Antibiotics such as",
"penicillin can treat anthrax, and a patient",
"should receive treatment as soon as possible. The",
"disease can be fatal if left untreated.",
"Treatment takes about 60 days, since that is how",
"long it may take anthrax spores to grow,",
"according to the U.S. National Library of",
"Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.",
"How can you protect yourself? Avoid contact with",
"livestock and animal products in countries where",
"anthrax is common and herds aren't commonly",
"vaccinated, the CDC says. Also try not to eat",
"meat that has not been properly slaughtered and",
"cooked. There is also a vaccine, reported to be",
"93 percent effective in protecting against",
"anthrax, according to the CDC. The CDC recommends",
"that certain people get vaccinated against",
"anthrax. This includes people who work directly",
"with the organism in a laboratory or work with",
"imported animal hides or furs in areas with low",
"standards to protect against exposure to anthrax",
"spores. People who handle potentially infected",
"animal products in countries with a high",
"incidence of the disease, and work, and military",
"personnel in areas with high risk of exposure to",

(CNN) -- The Ebola epidemic now raging across three countries in West Africa is three-fold larger than any other outbreak ever recorded for this terrible disease; the only one to have occurred in urban areas and to cross national borders; and officially urgent and serious. At least 1,090 people have contracted the awful disease this year, though the epidemic's true scope is unknown because of widespread opposition to health authorities in afflicted Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. This week, 39-year-old physician Sheik Umar Khan -- labeled the country's hero for his brave leadership of the epidemic fight -- died from Ebola, adding yet another public fear: that even the doctors cannot escape the disease. But as terrifying as Ebola is, the virus has been controlled in the past, and can be again. The current crisis, which threatens an 11-nation region of Africa that includes the continent's giant, Nigeria, is not a biological or medical one so much as it is political. The three nations in Ebola's thrall need technical support from outsiders but will not succeed in stopping the virus until each nation's leaders embrace effective governance. As was the case in Kikwit, Zaire, in 1995 -- an Ebola outbreak I personally was in as a journalist -- there is no vaccine or cure for the disease. The key to stopping its spread is rapid identification of the sick; removal of the ailing and deceased from their homes; and quarantine and high hygiene measures to prevent transmission of the virus to family members and health care workers. In the absence of such measures, Ebola will kill upwards of 70% of those it infects, as the virus punches holes in veins, causing massive internal hemorrhaging and bleeding from the eyes, ears, mouth and all other orifices. Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone are among the poorest, least governed states in the world. About half of the nations' adults are illiterate. The 11.75 million people of Guinea have a per capita annual income of merely $527, and their combined male/female life expectancy is 58 years. In 2011, the government of President Alpha Conde spent $7 on average per capita on health. Life is no better for the 4.2 million people living in neighboring Liberia, where per capita income is $454, life expectancy is 62 years and the government of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf spends $18 per capita on health. In Sierra Leone, the 6 million residents have a per capita income of $809 per year, life expectancy is merely 46 years, and the government of the President, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, spent $13 per capita last year on health. Since Ebola first broke out in March in Guinea, fear has gripped the region, coupled with suspicion and wild rumors. Some have proclaimed the epidemic "divine retribution" for past sins. In April, Guinean health officials failed to quarantine an Ebola patient who reportedly spread the virus from a remote area to the capital -- a lapse that undermined government credibility. In April, a mob claiming that foreigners were spreading diseases attacked a Doctors Without Borders clinic in rural Guinea and forced the Nobel Peace Prize-winning group to abandon its mission. The charity returned only after it had negotiated its safety with local religious leaders. In the capital city of Conakry, families have been hiding their ailing relatives. Even the local Red Cross was forced to abandon a part of the country after men brandishing knives surrounded them. And in one district, police fired tear gas at a mob that was trying to raid the morgue in order to give their loved ones proper burials, despite the risk of contagion. As the epidemic spread to Sierra Leone in May, brought in by a traditional healer who tended to ailing Guineans and then returned home, similar problems surfaced. Family members defied a local quarantine, thereby spreading infection. By the end of May, authorities were losing track of Ebola sufferers amid widespread fleeing from health facilities; the toll of missing patients approached 60 by June. Some local leaders spread rumors that "the white people" were conducting experiments, infecting Sierra Leonians or cutting off people's limbs. Doctors Without Borders warned that widespread belief that Ebola does not exist threatened to spread the disease regionally. Today the word "Ebola" carries so much stigma that few ailing individuals even seek diagnosis. By the end of June, the epidemic was exploding in Liberia, fueled by the same sorts of denial and wild rumors that were rampant in Sierra Leone and Guinea. In one county, men with weapons chased off government health workers. Today, the World Health Organization is officially loath to say so, but under these circumstances, this epidemic is beyond anybody's control. Nobody, in any culture, relishes having their ailing loved ones removed from a family's care, or their bodies hauled off to ignominious mass graves. But the violent reaction to such measures in West Africa is far more extreme than anything that has occurred in other Ebola crises since the virus's first appearance in Zaire in 1976. This should come as no surprise to anybody with a modicum of knowledge of recent history. The nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone have a shared, brutal history of civil wars that since 1989 have left more than 400,000 people dead, displaced half a million people from their traditional homes, seen rape used as a weapon against tens of thousands of girls and women, and put Liberia's former President behind bars as a war criminal. One of the most heinous features of the 1989-to-2005 wars was public amputation, typically carried out by child soldiers. The violence began in 1980 when Samuel Doe killed President William Tolbert and then tyrannized Liberia for a decade, growing rich off its diamond trade. In 1990, rebels invaded the country from Ivory Coast, captured Doe, tortured him, dragged him naked through the streets of Monrovia, and then executed him. Charles Taylor took over the nation, running it until 2003. Taylor, in turn, helped his comrade Foday Sankoh seize control of Sierra Leone, and they systematically exploited their nations' mines, leading to the United Nations term "blood diamonds." What you need to know about the deadliest ever outbreak . With help from Guinea, a second civil war started in 1999 in Liberia, eventually engaging multiple warring factions, each more brutal than the other. It spilled over into Sierra Leone and was egged on by military elements in Nigeria. By 2000, all three of the now-Ebola-torn countries were embroiled. Taylor fled into exile in Nigeria in 2003, and both he and Sankoh faced U.N. war crimes trials. Sankoh died of a heart attack before his trial; Taylor is now imprisoned. In these three nations, few families have not experienced murders, rapes, torture, maiming, loss of homes and death. Fear, suspicion, poverty, pain and superstition are the norm, the noise that everybody lives with, every minute of their lives. Ebola is simply a new scream heard above that terrible background din. The challenge today in these barely functioning states is to find ways to lower the overall noise, focus on stopping the Ebola virus, and bring governance and peace to three countries that have rarely experienced either. | Laurie Garrett: Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia worst ever, could be controlled .

(EW.com) -- Okay, that may actually just be a line from Kermit the Frog in "The Muppet Christmas Carol," but in the case of "America's Got Talent," NBC's annual summer competition that manages to be the spiritual heir to "The Gong Show," a poignant homage to vaudeville, and a grotesque Felliniesque carnival — sometimes all at the same time — it's especially true. Season 7, which wrapped tonight, saw both the departure of longtime judge Sharon Osbourne and the crowning of a new talent shortly to be unleashed upon the unsuspecting tourists of Las Vegas. This year, the finalists included two performance painters -- one whose medium was sand, thus becoming the first sand painter to reach an audience beyond your local Renaissance fair -- an "earth harpist," a dog trick act, a kiddie dance troupe, and a comedian who found Howard Stern's hair to be the greatest source of fodder for his act. But there could be only one winner. And that was... [SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't watched tonight's finale yet] . 'Big Brother': Evicted houseguest is... The Olate Dogs! Yes, America deemed the act of two dog trainers and their cuddly, trick-performing canines--their act consists of the pooches bounding through hoops, jumping rope on their hind legs, and riding in toy SUVs--as the worthiest finalists. I suppose the result shouldn't be a shock since we live in the age of cute-pet YouTube videos, but it's hard to imagine anyone paying top dollar to see them perform in Vegas, the career-launching prize of all "America's Got Talent" winners. Runner-up Tom Cotter, a comedian who relies on one-liner jokes about the ethics of the Prince kissing an unconscious Sleeping Beauty, seemed like a better choice for the Strip. He delivered a tag-team bit with Joan Rivers mocking Howard Stern (the shockjock has "gay pirate hair"!) that cried out for extensive rim-shot accompaniment. Genie Francis exits 'Young and Restless' Blue Man Group, which I assume to be former "America's Got Talent" winners themselves, added their DayGlo whimsy to the proceedings, as did Justin Bieber and reality-competition show staples Flo Rida and One Republic, showing that "America's Got Talent" is making an aggressive play to usurp "Dancing With the Stars" as the series with the most filler on TV. If you watched, are you happy with the outcome? Would you pay top dollar to watch top dogs jump rope for 90 minutes? Or do you hope that this act, like virtually every "America's Got Talent" winner before it, stays in Vegas...and is never heard from again? Also, is there any point in watching the Blue Man Group if one Tobias Fünke isn't involved? See the full article at EW.com.

Hamid Dabashi is the author of "Iran: A People Interrupted." He is Hagop Kevorkian Professor of Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature at Columbia University in New York. His Web site is http://www.hamiddabashi.com/ . Hamid Dabashi says protesters in Iran would be harmed by U.S. aid to "promote democracy" in that nation. (CNN) -- On a number of occasions and in perfectly pitched and calibrated statements, President Obama has expressed his unequivocal support for the civil rights movement in Iran without appearing to interfere in Iranian domestic affairs. This has been particularly admirable given the pressure that is coming his way from a U.S. Congress that -- up until the night before the Iranian presidential election -- was discussing even more severe economic sanctions on Iran, which would have hurt precisely the young men and women the legislators now seem too eager to support. Obama can help this budding seed of hope for civil liberties even more emphatically by altogether cutting the budget "to promote democracy in Iran," evidently channeled through the U.S. Agency for International Development. Ken Dilanian of USA Today reports, "the Obama administration is moving forward with plans to fund groups that support Iranian dissidents." This financial aid is not only a waste of taxpayer money under these severe economic circumstances, but is in fact the surest way to kill that inborn and grassroots movement. It mostly will be abused by expatriate and entirely discredited opposition groups ranging from the monarchist supporters of Reza Pahlavi to the members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization, and it will in turn strengthen the hand of the regime to denounce the Green Movement as funded by Americans. The U.S. government shouldn't give a penny to these groups or any other outlet dedicated to promoting "democracy in Iran" from the sunny coasts of California to the green suburbs of Washington. As the whole world is now a witness to it, the civil rights movement in Iran is a nonviolent demand to exercise people's constitutional rights to participate in the democratic aspirations of their homeland, turned bloody only by the custodians of an Islamic republic who seem to be too conscious of their own illegitimacy. This movement has been decades, if not centuries, in the making. And it needs no American money to sustain itself. The only thing it needs is the moral voice of the American civil rights movement to come to its aid. Just one quote from the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (or more accurately from the prominent 19th century abolitionist Theodore Parker) about the arc of the moral universe being long, but ultimately bending toward justice, will go a long way toward supporting this movement. If I were the president, I would reallocate that budget and spend it on enriching inner city public schools, enabling them to develop courses on modern Iranian and Islamic history. I would convene a national convention with the first lady presiding in which public high school teachers would be brought together to think through curricular changes that would teach the next generation of Americans more about the world in which they have to live. From the same fund I would establish an annual prize for 100 best essays on a contemporary Islamic society written by a junior from a public high school. A prize could be applied to college tuition. I would call it the Rosa Parks-Neda Aqa Soltan Prize for Non-Violent Civil Rights Movement. Not just one but four swords of Damocles are now hanging over the Iranian civil rights movement. One of them, the severe crackdown by the custodians of the Islamic republic, has already dropped ruthlessly. Iranians are more than capable of dodging it and continuing with creative ways of civil disobedience and nonviolent strategies of pushing forward from their versions of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott of 1955-1956 to their Civil Rights Act of 1968. But the other three swords are held over this movement from outside Iran, in fact from the United States government. These are 1) the misappropriation of funds to promote democracy in Iran that will in fact abort it; 2) the fear of even more severe economic sanctions that will do nothing to the ruling elite except exacerbate its belligerence while hurting the very brave men and women daring the brutality of their government; and 3) the threat of military strike that, should it materialize, will have this hopeful uprising as its very first target while creating the condition of an open military coup in Iran, turning it to another Pakistan. The United States can only lead, if it must, by example, by practicing what it preaches. Our inner schools cannot suffer from unfathomable poverty of educational tools while we allocate millions of dollars to useless, ineffective, discredited "oppositional" forces. Whatever the fate of the Islamic republic, the noble cause of civil liberties will remain constant in Iran and will emerge as a model for the region. By wedding the freshly cut flower of Neda Aqa-Soltan's young life in the fertile soil of Rosa Parks' memory, Iranians and Americans will finally come together in their common dreams of basic human decency. And what better president to have a hand in that union than the man who is a beneficiary of the courage and imagination of Rosa Parks and a witness to Neda Aqa Soltan?

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 00:09 EST, 11 July 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 00:44 EST, 11 July 2013 . From the moment of his ill-fated operation in 1953 Henry Molaison became world famous, yet few people knew his name. Until his death at the age of 82 in 2008, the Connecticut man who had lost his ability to form and store new memories was known simply as HM to the scores of scientists and researchers studying his case. Although he had been a willing test subject for neurologists since 1957, Mr Molaison's unique condition whereby his memory is wiped after about 30 seconds, was protected by those who researched him and the nursing home staff who cared for him. Present tense: Henry Molaison lost the ability to form and retain new memories after experimental brain surgery in 1953 . 'His case appeared in so many textbooks . they inspired students to pursue careers in neuroscience. The world's . fascination with memory took off,' Suzanne Corkin, who studied . Mr Molaison from 1962 until his death, said. 'Everyday people wanted to know what it was . like to always live in the moment ... He touched an unknown number of . lives,' she told the Hartford Courant. Mr Molaison, who had suffered from epilepsy when he was a teenager, was 27 when a famous surgeon removed part of his brain in the belief that it would ease his seizures. From the moment William Beecher Scoville operated on Mr Molaison, he lost the ability to retain new information after about 30 seconds. While Mr Molaison may have lost the ability to learn, his condition helped move forward knowledge of the brain. Family: Henry Molaison with his parents Lizzie and Gus, who cared for him before he moved into a Connecticut nursing home . Lifetime's work: Suzanne Corkin has written about her decades of studying Henry Molaison . Bright: Henry Molaison was 27 when surgery to help ease his epilepsy robbed him of his memory-making ability . 'Henry taught us so much about the . brain. He taught us that you can be smart and still have a horrible . memory. He taught us that memory was localized in the hippocampal area,' Ms Corkin said. 'He taught us that not all kinds of learning memory was . impaired in amnesia. In Henry, what was preserved was motor skills, . conditioning ... and procedures.' The surgery that was supposed to ease Mr Molaison's epilepsy instead trapped him permanently in the moment. Although he was never able to form a new memory, Ms Corkin said that he was nearly always happy, friendly and was enthusiastic about helping researchers. 'He . always lived in the moment, fully accepting the events of daily life. From the time of the operation, every new person he met was forever a . stranger, yet he approached each one with openness and trust. He . remained as good natured and pleasant as the polite, quiet person his . high-school classmates knew,' Ms Corkin wrote. She added that he also liked to make jokes, telling NPR: 'He had a wonderful sense of humor, and he would come up with little quips that were appropriate to a specific moment, nothing that he had made up before, rehearsed or he knew from his preoperative life.' Ms Corkin, who studied Mr Molaison's case until his death, and who was also raised in Hartford, Connecticut, has now written a book about the man who had such a lasting impact on memory research. Long term loss: Henry at his family home in 1958, four years after experimental surgery led to memory loss . Her book, Permanent Present Tense, gives more details about Mr Molaison's life and her observations of him during the time she knew him. Ms Corkin also has a connection to the doctor who performed the ill-fated surgery on him. Her family lived opposite him when she was a schoolgirl. When the surgeon operated on Mr Molaison however, he damaged his hippocampus, which is responsible for long-term memory. 'We didn't know that memory was . localized in that particular part of the brain. That was one of the big . discoveries that came from studying Henry,' Ms Corkin said. Her book includes research findings as well as details of Mr Molaison's daily routine and his brief thoughts on his life. One of the first aspects of his conditions scientists noticed was that intelligence and memory are separate entities. After the operation his IQ remained slightly above average and his ability to solve problems was unaffected by the operation. Scientists discovered that although he could not remember the tasks they had set him, his ability to complete them improved each time. And, although he met Corkin after his operation, over time he became familiar with her, believing that he had known her at high school. One of his favorite pastimes was also completing crossword puzzles in the nursing home where he lived, after his parents were no longer able to care for him. Unchanged: Henry pictured in the 1970s. His inability to form new memories left him trapped in the life he lived before the 1953 operation . However, he was aware he had trouble remembering and once said: 'At this moment everything looks clear to me, but what happened just before? That's what worries me. It's like waking from a dream. I just don't remember,' according to The Daily Telegraph. Although Mr Molaison was considered one of the most important case studies in brain research, Dr Corkin said the sense of his importance was lost on him. 'Every now and then I would tell him he was very famous and a lot of people knew about him in the world of scientists,' Dr Corkin told NPR. 'He would get this little sheepish grin and say, "Oh, you know, isn't that nice". You could see that it was heartwarming for him. But... of course, as soon as he was distracted, he forgot.' Mr Moliason is still making a contribution to science. His brain was donated for research purposes after his death. | Henry Molaison was studied by hundreds of scientists .

"2013 . From the moment of his ill-fated operation",
"in 1953 Henry Molaison became world famous, yet",
"few people knew his name. Until his death at the",
"age of 82 in 2008, the Connecticut man who had",
"lost his ability to form and store new memories",
"was known simply as HM to the scores of",
"scientists and researchers studying his case.",
"Although he had been a willing test subject for",
"neurologists since 1957, Mr Molaison's unique",
"condition whereby his memory is wiped after about",
"30 seconds, was protected by those who researched",
"him and the nursing home staff who cared for him.",
"Present tense: Henry Molaison lost the ability to",
"form and retain new memories after experimental",
"brain surgery in 1953 . 'His case appeared in so",
"many textbooks . they inspired students to pursue",
"careers in neuroscience. The world's .",
"fascination with memory took off,' Suzanne",
"Corkin, who studied . Mr Molaison from 1962 until",
"his death, said. 'Everyday people wanted to know",
"what it was . like to always live in the moment",
"... He touched an unknown number of . lives,' she",
"told the Hartford Courant. Mr Molaison, who had",
"suffered from epilepsy when he was a teenager,",
"was 27 when a famous surgeon removed part of his",
"brain in the belief that it would ease his",
"seizures. From the moment William Beecher",
"Scoville operated on Mr Molaison, he lost the",
"ability to retain new information after about 30",
"seconds. While Mr Molaison may have lost the",
"ability to learn, his condition helped move",
"forward knowledge of the brain. Family: Henry",
"Molaison with his parents Lizzie and Gus, who",
"cared for him before he moved into a Connecticut",
"nursing home . Lifetime's work: Suzanne Corkin",
"has written about her decades of studying Henry",
"Molaison . Bright: Henry Molaison was 27 when",
"surgery to help ease his epilepsy robbed him of",
"his memory-making ability . 'Henry taught us so",
"much about the . brain. He taught us that you can",
"be smart and still have a horrible . memory. He",
"taught us that memory was localized in the",
"hippocampal area,' Ms Corkin said. 'He taught us",
"that not all kinds of learning memory was .",
"impaired in amnesia. In Henry, what was preserved",
"was motor skills, . conditioning ... and",
"procedures.' The surgery that was supposed to",
"ease Mr Molaison's epilepsy instead trapped him",
"permanently in the moment. Although he was never",
"able to form a new memory, Ms Corkin said that he",
"was nearly always happy, friendly and was",
"enthusiastic about helping researchers. 'He .",
"always lived in the moment, fully accepting the",
"events of daily life. From the time of the",
"operation, every new person he met was forever a",
". stranger, yet he approached each one with",
"openness and trust. He . remained as good natured",
"and pleasant as the polite, quiet person his .",
"high-school classmates knew,' Ms Corkin wrote.",
"She added that he also liked to make jokes,",
"telling NPR: 'He had a wonderful sense of humor,",
"and he would come up with little quips that were",
"appropriate to a specific moment, nothing that he",
"had made up before, rehearsed or he knew from his",
"preoperative life.' Ms Corkin, who studied Mr",
"Molaison's case until his death, and who was also",
"raised in Hartford, Connecticut, has now written",
"a book about the man who had such a lasting",
"impact on memory research. Long term loss: Henry",
"at his family home in 1958, four years after",
"experimental surgery led to memory loss . Her",
"book, Permanent Present Tense, gives more details",
"about Mr Molaison's life and her observations of",
"him during the time she knew him. Ms Corkin also",
"has a connection to the doctor who performed the",
"ill-fated surgery on him. Her family lived",
"opposite him when she was a schoolgirl. When the",
"surgeon operated on Mr Molaison however, he",
"damaged his hippocampus, which is responsible for",
"long-term memory. 'We didn't know that memory was",
". localized in that particular part of the brain.",
"That was one of the big . discoveries that came",
"from studying Henry,' Ms Corkin said. Her book",
"includes research findings as well as details of",
"Mr Molaison's daily routine and his brief",
"thoughts on his life. One of the first aspects of",
"his conditions scientists noticed was that",
"intelligence and memory are separate entities.",
"After the operation his IQ remained slightly",
"above average and his ability to solve problems",
"was unaffected by the operation. Scientists",
"discovered that although he could not remember",
"the tasks they had set him, his ability to",
"complete them improved each time. And, although",
"he met Corkin after his operation, over time he",
"became familiar with her, believing that he had",
"known her at high school. One of his favorite",
"pastimes was also completing crossword puzzles in",
"the nursing home where he lived, after his",
"parents were no longer able to care for him.",
"Unchanged: Henry pictured in the 1970s. His",
"inability to form new memories left him trapped",
"in the life he lived before the 1953 operation .",
"However, he was aware he had trouble remembering",
"and once said: 'At this moment everything looks",
"clear to me, but what happened just before?",
"That's what worries me. It's like waking from a",
"dream. I just don't remember,' according to The",
"Daily Telegraph. Although Mr Molaison was",
"considered one of the most important case studies",
"in brain research, Dr Corkin said the sense of",
"his importance was lost on him. 'Every now and",
"then I would tell him he was very famous and a",
"lot of people knew about him in the world of",
"scientists,' Dr Corkin told NPR. 'He would get",
"this little sheepish grin and say, \"Oh, you know,",
"isn't that nice\". You could see that it was",
"heartwarming for him. But... of course, as soon",
"as he was distracted, he forgot.' Mr Moliason is",
"still making a contribution to science. His brain",
"was donated for research purposes after his",
"death."

(CNN) -- Tiger Woods kept his recent strong play going Thursday, shooting a 1-under 69 to keep him within shouting distance of the leader at the U.S. Open. Michael Thompson held the lead after round one, shooting a 4-under 66 for a three-shot advantage from second-placed Woods, 2010 winner Graeme McDowell, Justin Rose, David Toms and Nick Watney. Thompson, 27, is playing in only his second U.S. Open, having finished tied for 29th in 2008. "I've got nothing to lose. This is just a bonus in my career," said Thompson, who was runner-up at the Olympic Club at the 2007 U.S. Amateur Championship. "I'm not guaranteed into all the majors as a professional, and to be able to have the opportunity to play is just a wonderful experience." U.S. Open latest scores . Woods was on his game all day at Olympic's tree-lined Lake Course in San Francisco. He consistently hit fairways and kept the ball out of the rough. He birdied in back-to-back holes late in the round, shots that brought huge applause and subdued fist pumps from Woods. "I was very pleased," Woods told reporters. "I felt like I had control of my game all day and just stuck to my game plan and executed my game plan." His play came in stark contrast to the others in his marquee pairing. Woods was grouped with Phil Mickelson and recent Masters champion Bubba Watson, but both golfers struggled mightily and will have to rally on Friday to make the cut. Mickelson, who has been a U.S. Open runner-up five times, shot a 6-over 76. He fell on hard times from the beginning, slicing his opening tee shot into the trees and losing the ball. He had to rally just to get a bogey. He then went on to bogey the next two holes and showcased uneven play the whole round. "I can't really think about the lead or anything," Mickelson told reporters. "I've just got to make the cut right now, and to do that, I got to shoot something under par." Watson had even more difficulty shooting a round of 8-over 78. The always-clever Watson commented on his difficulties on his Twitter page. "I figured out what I did wrong today on the golf course, missed the putt for 77. #goflishard," Watson tweeted hours after he had finished Thursday. Another big story of the first round was 14-year-old Andy Zhang who became the youngest golfer to ever compete in the U.S. Open. Zhang started out a little shaky starting with a triple bogey, then a double bogey and then three more bogeys in a row. But the teen settled himself and with a beautiful play at the end of the round became the youngest player to hit a birdie in the U.S. Open. He finished with a 9-over 79, which left him level with world No. 1 Luke Donald and U.S. Open champion Michael Campbell in a tie for 140th in the 156-man field. Defending U.S. Open champ Rory McIlroy stumbled in the first round, as the world No. 2 carded 7-over 77. Can Tiger Woods crack the U.S. Open's 'graveyard of champions?' It was a tough day for the world's top three players, with Englishman Lee Westwood faring the best as he shot 73 to be tied for 40th. Casey Martin, playing his first major tournament in 14 years since his controversial debut at the same venue, was tied for 52nd. The 40-year-old American, who needs to use a golf cart due to a birth defect which causes pain in his right leg, carded six bogeys and two birdies in his 74. "I tried to realize there's really not that much pressure on me, but it didn't work," said Martin, now a university golf coach who came through regional qualifying last week. "I want to enjoy it. It's hard to enjoy it when you're popping with your nerves and stuff. I want to do so well so bad that I don't want to get in my way." | Michael Thompson was the leader after the first round .

It has been billed as high-minded prosecution to uphold the strict rules of Shariah law. But MailOnline can reveal that the real reasons why a pregnant woman in Sudan has been sentenced to death for being a Christian are all too human. Jealousy and greed drove Meriam Ibrahim’s own family to file a lawsuit against her alleging apostasy and adultery which led to the criminal charges she now faces, it is claimed. Scroll down for video . Hang: . Meriam, a eight-months-pregnant doctor, was sentenced to death last . week for marrying Daniel. Authorities rule she is Muslim because her . father - who abandoned her when he was six, worshiped Islam, even though . she was brought up by her Christian mother . Her half brother and half sister - who had not seen her for decades - tracked her down so they could get rid of her and take over her successful general store, Meriam’s lawyers alleged. The legal team for Meriam, whose husband is an American citizen, are being paid for by Justice Centre Sudan, a US-based non-profit that campaigns for human rights in the African country. A spokesman for the organization said: ‘We believe the family filed the lawsuit because they want to gain control of the business. ‘If Meriam stays in jail she could lose everything and they could be the ones to benefit.’ Heartbreaking: This image captures the first time Daniel Wani was allowed to see Martin and Meriam a few weeks ago. He has hardly been allowed to see her . The spokeswoman added that if Meriam is forced to leave Sudan then her half brother and half sister may well take over the business as well. It is not clear if, under Sudanese law, such a scheme would work as intended, or if a business owner would be allowed to sell it on. But it gives a disturbing new insight into the reasons why an eight-months pregnant woman has been thrown in a prison cell in shackles with her 20-month old boy whilst expecting her second child - and become the center of an international outcry. The heartbreaking situation was illustrated by exclusive pictures obtained by MailOnline which showed Meriam’s husband Daniel, who is in a wheelchair, holding Martin under the close watch of prison guards with rifles slung over their shoulders. Rotten . care: Martin is given a drink by prison guards. Daniel is not allowed . to take custody of Martin because the authorities have ruled that the . toddler is Muslim . Desperate: Daniel and Martin sit with their lawyer, Mr Mohand, during a visit. Daniel is wheelchair bound as he suffers from muscular dystrophy . He had flown in from his home in Manchester, New Hampshire in a desperate bid to free his wife and son from their terrible fate. Meriam, 27, was thrown in jail in September and earlier this month was sentenced to death for adultery for marrying Daniel, a Christian who has US citizenship. The visit to the Khartoum prison was was the first time that Daniel was able to see his wife since she was imprisoned in September. Judges in the city have sentenced Mariam to death and 100 lashes as the Sudanese court refuses to recognize her 2011 marriage to Daniel because her father was a Muslim. The Justice Centre Sudan spokeswoman said: ‘When Meriam’s father left her mother when she was six he went to another part of Sudan and had another family. ‘Meriam did not know about this. She did not even know her father had died until many years after the event. Nor did she know he was a Muslim. ‘Meriam’s mother died in 2012 and by then she had still not heard from her half brothers and sisters. ‘There were years and years that went by when that side of the family did not want a relationship with her. Adultery: . Meriam has also been sentenced to 100 lashes because the court did not . recognize her marriage to Christian Daniel Wani, a naturalized U.S. citizen, who lives in Manchester, New Hampshire . Outrage: More than 50 protesters gathered outside the Sudanese court last week where Meriam was sentenced . ‘Recently Meriam has been running a successful business in Khartoum. It’s a general store in a shopping mall and she has been selling some Ethiopian items as her mother was from there. ‘They’ve been doing really well and the business was growing and Daniel has been helping her out. ‘Her half brother and half sister must have heard about this and worked out she was a relative of theirs because of her name. ‘The first thing Meriam knew about them was when her half brother and half sister filed the lawsuit. ‘She was arrested from her home and thrown in jail with no warning.’ This comes as John Kerry faced renewed calls to act on behalf of the American citizen whose heavily pregnant wife, son and unborn child are locked up in jail in Sudan - as MailOnline reveals the family’s emotional reunion behind bars. Cruel: . Martin, above, is pictured biting his lip unaware of the terrible fate . his mother, Meriam, faces after being sentenced to hang for refusing to . consider herself a Christian. His family claim he is American because . his father has been granted U.S. citizenship . Love: . Meriam and Daniel met and married in Khartoum. He was planning to bring . her back to their modest home in Manchester, NH, last year but the . paperwork was held up and she was arrested . Two senators have sent the Secretary of State a second letter demanding that more be done to help Daniel Wani and Meriam Ibrahim, who is awaiting a death sentence for marrying her Christian husband. New Hampshire's Senator Kelly Ayotte and fellow Republican Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri said they are concerned that the government is wasting time with bureaucracy. In their letter to Kerry they said that the holdup was ‘preventing needed high-level engagement’ and that he had to intervene personally. The senators had already written a first letter but have grown frustrated and demanded Kerry do something again. Meanwhile in exclusive pictures obtained by MailOnline, Daniel, who is in a wheelchair, can be seen holding Martin under the close watch of prison guards with rifles slung over their shoulders after he flew from Manchester, New Hampshire in a desperate bid to free the 20-months-old and his wife from their terrible fate.

Survivor: Morris was told that he was only the fifth patient at Walter Reed to have survived a four-limb amputation . ‘They asked me how much it hurts on a scale of one to ten. I said, ‘Definitely a ten. It freaking hurts,’’ he recalled. Medical crews and comrades were under . fire as they came to his aid. They got him on a stretcher and he was . evacuated by helicopter to a hospital in Kandahar and then to Germany. Somewhere between those final two stops, Morris finally lost . consciousness after a doctor administered a strong sedative. Three . days later, on May 6, the 23-year-old arrived back in the U.S. and was . transported to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, to . begin the long and painful rehabilitation process. Morris became only the fifth patient at the hospital to . ever survive a four-limb amputation. So far, his progress has been ahead . of schedule. Phantom pains: Morris said he still has sensations in his arms and legs . Hero: Following the explosion, Morris told his comrades who rushed to his aid to stay away in case there were other mines around . Loved ones: Morris' girlfriend, Danielle Kelly (right), his mother, Julie (center), and his father, Dan (left), have been by his side at the hospital . ‘My body is responding well,’ Morris said. ‘I'm already sitting up. I'm very fortunate.’ On May 30, the stitches in his arms were removed and he was fitted for prosthetics. The stitches in his legs were removed several days later. Adventurer: Danielle Kelly (right) said he and Morris have always loved water sports and nature . Morris’ sisters, Molly and Claire, have been organizing fundraisers at home. His brother, Riley, is serving in the Iowa National Guard, and his father, Dan, has been at the hospital with his son as often as work permits. Morris has had visits from other wounded warriors; top military personnel, including the commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps; Congressman Bruce Braley and actor Joe Mantegna, an advocate for returning veterans. While he said that his medical bills are covered, the 23-year-old man with a love of the great outdoors said that he has always dreamed of building a log cabin in the woods on a lake where he could live with his girlfriend, Danielle Kelly. ‘Taylor and I are both savers, and we had been working our butts off to ensure we'd have a cabin, close to water to do water sports, and places we can hike,’ Kelly said. ‘After what happened, we will not abandon that dream if it takes years of saving.’ The Chive invited viewers to make contributions toward Morris’ dream cabin, setting the goal at $30,000, but just 12 hours later, $143,000 had been raised through online donations at TaylorMorris.org. Donations have now exceeded $250,000 and the family's website was experiencing technical problems today because so many people were reading his remarkable story. Cheques also may be made out to the . Taylor Morris Recovery Fund at any Veridian Credit Union branch. Bracelets and T-shirts are available for sale at TaylorMorris.org, where . donations can be made through PayPal.

By . Martha Cliff . PUBLISHED: . 11:57 EST, 7 February 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 13:15 EST, 7 February 2014 . Women have been trying to figure out what men want for decades, devouring dating tomes such as Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus in the hope they might bring them closer to the answer. Today, new research promises to offer an insight into the mysterious workings of a man's heart. A study of 2,000 men has revealed that the 'perfect . girlfriend' is 5ft 5in tall, drinks white wine, has no tattoos and . supports Manchester United. When it comes to appearance men want their girlfriend to resemble Kelly Brook . The survey by dating app company LOVOO also found that men go for a woman with an Irish accent and who drive a Mini Cooper. And it's bad news for single vegetarians, with the majority of men agreeing that they like a girl who enjoys meat and loves a roast dinner. Ladies can breath a small sigh of relief when it comes to weight though, with men's expectations not being too unrealistic, preferring a woman who weighs a healthy 9st 2lbs, and has a bra size of 34C. Single men also had an opinion as to what their dates should be watching, possibly to avoid any scraps over the remote control? Their first choice was Game of Thrones, followed by Coronation Street, Friends and then Match of the Day. Guys prefer a girlfriend who lists 'Match of the Day' as one of their favourite programmes . When it comes to films, Dirty Dancing is their ideal girl's film of choice and rock is her favourite music genre. They don't want her sitting around watching too many Patrick Swayze classics though. The survey revealed that they would rather date a hard-working woman, with a nurse and teacher being the top professions of choice. When asked what celebrity would best resemble their perfect girlfriend, Kelly Brook took the lead followed by Cheryl Cole, Jessica Ennis and Denise Van Outen. A spokesman for LOVOO said that the men's choices may be slightly unrealistic and that they should keep their options open: 'It seems that British men have very specific tastes for a girl to live up to. 'We know that everyone has a favourite hair colour and sometimes even eye colour and height, with brown hair being the colour of choice in this instance. 'But we think that avoiding a woman because she might support an opposing football team or enjoy a different genre of films to you, might be being a bit too picky.' They went on to say that having too many specific ideas of the perfect partner is the reason why some men may be finding it difficult to find a partner. 'We encourage meeting up with people you share interests with, but suggest not being too strict as you might find that you get to learn something new. 'Avoiding a woman because she might . support an opposing football team or enjoy a different genre of films to . you, might be being a bit too picky.' Benjamin Bak, LOVOO . 'Dating is fun and shouldn't become a chore or make you feel as though you won't ever find "the one". Being more open to new things will certainly help you find that perfect girlfriend.' Thankfully there were some things that men were happy to keep their options open about. Their perfect partner enjoys a wide range of hobbies, including reading and travelling. They also want a woman with a full social life who loves to go to bars with their friends and enjoys going to concerts. When it comes to sex, men want their perfect girlfriend to . be adventurous in the bedroom, and be happy to embark in a bit of . role play as well as enjoy experimenting with different positions. Although men want a girl who can impress them, the study revealed it is . also important for their girlfriend to get on with the other most . important woman in their life - their mum. Open minded: Men prefer a woman who will experiment in the bedroom . Despite their rather specific desires, such as preferring women to wear miniskirts or skinny jeans, three quarters of the single men said they don't think they will meet their perfect woman and will have to compromise instead. And it appears that a lot of men have already learned the art of compromise with two in five men in a relationship believing that their current wife or girlfriend isn't the perfect woman for them. The spokesman added: 'It is very surprising that so many men who are currently in a relationship, feel as though they aren't with the right woman for them. 'And it's sad to see that some single men don't believe the perfect woman exists. 'We want to show these men that we don't agree, there is someone out there for everyone. 'And if they're lucky they might even find their perfect woman in time for Valentine's Day.' | A dating company survey has revealed what a man's idea of a perfect girl is .
Qualities include being a fan of Manchester United and enjoying white wine .

Washington (CNN) -- A North Carolina man was arrested Wednesday and accused of threatening to kill President Barack Obama in a series of Twitter messages, including one saying, "The Secret Service is gonna be defenseless once I aim the Assault Rifle at Barack's Forehead." Donte Jamar Sims, 21, had an initial court appearance in Charlotte on Thursday and remains in custody. According to a criminal complaint, Sims sent five Twitter messages Monday morning threatening the president. "Ima hit president Obama with that Lee Harvey Oswald swag," said one tweet. "Well IMA Assassinate president Obama this evening, " said another message. President Obama did not arrive in town until two days later. Protester jailed, denies he's a terrorist . Charlotte is the city hosting the Democratic National Convention. President Obama arrived there Wednesday afternoon in advance of his Thursday night acceptance speech. The court document states a Secret Service intelligence research specialist saw the messages on Twitter, which led to an agent going to Sims' home to interview him on Wednesday. In the affidavit, the Secret Service agent who interviewed Sims said the suspect admitted to having the Twitter account associated with the messages and wrote that Sims smiled when the threatening statements were read aloud to him. "Sims stated that he published the statements because he hated President Obama," the agent wrote in the affidavit. "Sims asserted that he was high on marijuana when he made the threats but that he understood what he was doing and that it was wrong." According to the court document, the agent then arrested Sims on several outstanding warrants. The officer said Sims later waived his Miranda rights and said his demeanor changed. "He asserted that he was sorry he sent the messages threatening to kill the president of the United States and provided me with a written apology," wrote the agent. The court document makes no mention of Sims having any weapons in his possession. It also does not provide details on the previous arrest warrants for Sims. Kevin Tate, a federal public defender representing Sims, would not comment on the case in advance of a detention hearing scheduled for September 11. If convicted of threatening the president, Sims faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

(RollingStone.com) -- It's instructive to note what a killer actor Richard Gere can be when a movie rises to his level. "Arbitrage" is such a movie, a sinfully entertaining look at the sins committed in the name of money. For proof that we're in financial hell, look around. True, this territory has been covered from Wall Street to last year's "Margin Call." But Gere and first-time director Nicholas Jarecki put a tantalizing spin on what goes on in the head of a fraudulent hedge-fund manager when he decides to stick it to the rest of us, including his own family. Gere's Robert Miller is the picture of unflappable elegance. Good job on that, since he's just lost $400 million in a bad copper-mine investment, and if he can't cover it up and unload his company on a major bank, his career will go kaput along with his fortune. Fraud puts pressure on Robert's skill at deceiving wife Ellen (Susan Sarandon), French mistress Julie (Laetitia Casta) and chief accountant Brooke (Brit Marling), who also happens to be his daughter. But Robert keeps his cool until the sudden death of one of these women has him dodging a possible murder rap with the grudging help of Jimmy Grant (a terrific Nate Parker), the son of the family chauffeur and the only black man in Robert's circle of white privilege. That's when NYPD detective Michael Bryer (Tim Roth) smells a rat and Robert's world begins to unravel. There's enough plot here to stuff a miniseries or three, yet "Arbitrage" never descends to bland and predictable. Credit Jarecki, whose combustible directing debut gives "Arbitrage" the charge of a thriller and the provocation of a moral fable. Jarecki has an eye for the telling detail, not surprising given his start with the 2005 documentary "The Outsider" (about rogue director James Toback). Docs run in the Jarecki family, with half brothers Andrew ("Capturing the Friedmans") and Eugene ("Why We Fight") making notable contributions to the genre. As the son of two commodities traders, Jarecki has Wall Street in his DNA. And it resonates in his exceptional screenplay, which potently captures the gleaming seduction of Robert's world and the fear that festers underneath. Jarecki knows the territory. And Gere knows the man, inside and out. His rapt, watchful performance is a thing of toxic beauty. Gere digs so deep into this flawed tycoon that we come to understand Robert's actions without for a minute forgiving them. Wearing the trappings of wealth like a second skin, Gere invites us to see what Robert sees. And the glamour in his field of vision -- cheers to cinematographer Yorick Le Saux (I Am Love) for the sheen and composer Cliff Martinez (Drive) for the seductive mood -- is tempting enough to make us all complicit. Like the best movies, "Arbitrage" persuades us to ask tough questions about ourselves. And Gere nails every nuance in a role that holds up a dark mirror to the way we live now. Despite his box-office success in crowd-pleasers such as "An Officer and a Gentleman," "Pretty Woman" and "Chicago," Gere has long been underrated. No Academy love, not even for his sinister brilliance in "Internal Affairs," "American Gigolo" and "The Hoax," or for the battered heart he brought to the cheated-on husband in "Unfaithful." Gere's performance in "Arbitrage" is too good to ignore. At 62, he is at the peak of his powers. Watch him in the scene when Sarandon -- in full, feisty flower -- hits Robert with a lifetime of resentments. She can't rock his composure. But Gere gives us a window into the soul of a man who finally realizes that even money will no longer help him lie to himself. It's an implosive tour de force. See full story at RollingStone.com.

By . Peter Allen . PUBLISHED: . 02:56 EST, 4 May 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 10:26 EST, 4 May 2012 . A despairing Nicolas Sarkozy was bracing himself for a crushing end to his political career today as campaigning closed in the French presidential election. Showing the signs of strain in the . closely run French election, president Nicolas Sarkozy yesterday . admitted that he might be defeated when voters go to the polls on . Sunday. The political leader, who has been . desperately trying to hang on in a political race with his main rival . Francois Hollande, indicated that he was already looking at a life . outside the political arena. Feeling the pressure: Nicolas Sarkozy delivers a speech during a final campaign meeting before the second round of the French presidential elections on Sunday. He has admitted that his party may be defeated . Popular candidate: Socialist Party leader Francois Hollande is the favourite to triumph in Sunday's French elections, with most pundits saying only a major upset could scupper his chances . Hanging on: Despite large rallies like the one in Toulon yesterday, Mr Sarkozy has admitted that he could be facing defeat after only one five-year term as French president . He . was quoted in The Times today as saying: 'I think we can win, but if . the French people decide otherwise, that is their right. At that moment . another life starts.' But, where Mr Sarkozy might appear . resigned to his fate, Mr Hollande said he could not rule out the . possibility of defeat as well, given Mr Sarkozy’s background as a wily . political campaigner. Mr Hollande said: ‘The polls are . there, and they show a closing of the gap. So I say to all those who . want me to be the next president, don’t let others decide in your . place.' Polls suggested that the 57-year-old was due to be rejected after a single term, so allowing Francois Hollande to take power. Question time: Francois Hollande (left) and Nicolas Sarkozy (right) with journalists Laurence Ferrari and David Pujadas during the televised debate . Rivals: Francois Hollande (left) and Nicolas Sarkozy (right) tried to wow voters by setting out their policies . Contented: Supporters of Socialist Party candidate Francois Hollande react as they watch his televised debate in Marseille . Mr Hollande, also 57, would become . France’s first Socialist president if he wins the second round of the . bitterly fought election on Sunday. Final polls suggest that Mr . Hollande’s lead has narrowed to as low as five per cent from 10 per . cent, but Mr Sarkozy came second in the first round and other party . chiefs have failed to back him. National Front leader Marine Le Pen . told her six million plus supporters to ‘vote blank’, while centrist . party head Francois Bayrou said he would vote for Mr Hollande. Two top French TV networks say at least 19.5 million people - about a third of France's population - tuned in to a spirited debate between President Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist Francois Hollande.French newspapers on Thursday generally described the debate the previous night as brisk, even aggressive, between the candidates who square off in Sunday's race finale.Sarkozy - the conservative incumbent - failed to land a knockout blow against Hollande, who has led polls for months.Joint debate presenters TF1 and France-2 TV reported a peak audience of 19.5 million viewers.Audience tracker Mediametrie says 20 million people tuned in to the 2007 debate between Sarkozy and Socialist Segolene Royal. Mr Sarkozy’s best hope of being . re-elected involved winning the support of around 80 per cent of Ms Le . Pen’s votes and at least half of Mr Bayrou's. But Mr Bayrou, who came fifth in the . first round with nine per cent of the vote, attacked Mr Sarkozy’s . increasingly extreme pledges on immigration and Europe. Mr Sarkozy has been desperately . trying to win over National Front supporters, saying that there are ‘too . many immigrants in France’ and that they are not being integrated . properly. Branding Mr Sarkozy an extremist, Mr . Bayrou said: ‘The line Nicolas Sarkozy chose between the two rounds is . violent. It contradicts our values.’ Today Mr Sarkozy said that Mr . Hollande ‘would lead the country to bankruptcy’, and has frequently . accused his Socialist rival of being ‘a liar’, including during a live . TV debate on Wednesday. But Mr Hollande said he could not . rule out the possibility of not winning, given Sarkozy’s background as a . wily political campaigner. He said: ‘Where [Sarkozy] made a mistake is that he underestimated me,.' Mr Hollande told RTL radio, adding: . ‘In politics, he who underestimates is too confident in himself and . shows a lack of judgment.’ Defeat for Sarkozy will mean he will . become the first president since Valery Giscard d'Estaing in 1981 to . fail in a re-election bid. Mr Hollande, in turn, will become the first Socialist president of France since Francois Mitterand retired in 1995. Turn out: Nicolas Sarkozy's wife Carla Bruni (left) and former presidential socialist candidate Segolene Royal (right) were present behind the scenes at the debate . Mr Hollande has promised a . wide-ranging left-wing programme, including a top tax rate of 75 per . cent and the creation of thousands of new public sector jobs, including . 60,000 new teachers. He said he ‘dislikes the rich’ and had already singled out ‘the world of finance’ as his principal enemy. A Hollande win is likely to see a . huge influx of wealthy French people into the UK, as those who fear . sky-high taxes leave their own country. Support: The debate ¿ broadcast on France's two main terrestrial channels and on satellite news ¿ was expected to be watched by more than half of the country's 44.5 million voters . Estate agents in London are already reporting increased interest in properties from clients from the other side of the Channel. The final polls by Ipsos and BVA . today suggested that Mr Hollande’s lead had narrowed by one point, with . 52.5 per cent support compared Mr Sarkozy's 47.5 per cent. Surveys by CSA and Harris Interactive showed Mr Hollande’s lead at 53 per cent support to Sarkozy's 47 per cent. Voting in the election begins in . France’s overseas territories on Saturday, and in mainland France on . Sunday. The results of official exit polls should be available by Sunday . evening. France's Socialist Party candidate for the 2012 French presidential election, Francois Hollande (centre) and his companion Valerie Trierweiler arrive at the TV studios . | Opinion polls place Socialist Francois Hollande far ahead of president .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 15:29 EST, 24 September 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 15:52 EST, 24 September 2012 . Cuts: Claire Perry, MP for Devizes, arriving at the Crescent Centre, Bristol, for the start of the tribunal . A Tory MP today told an employment tribunal she sacked her best friend from a constituency office job because she was 'incapable' of carrying out her role. Claire Perry, MP for Devizes, Wiltshire, who has regularly spoken up for the Coalition’s austerity program, made a cut of her own when Penelope Nurick lost her job in a 'staff reshuffle'. Mrs Nurick was one of Mrs Perry’s seconders when she stood as the Conservative Party candidate in 2010, and had worked in her office for two years. She was formally sacked from her administrative role on February 23 2012 when Mrs Perry, 48, replaced her with another employee in the constituency office. Mrs Nurick launched legal proceedings against best friend Mrs Perry following the decision, claiming she had been 'unfairly dismissed' by the MP. Mrs Perry told a tribunal in Bristol that she was forced to fire her friend after senior advisor Christopher Jones, left his job in November 2011. The MP said she was unable to replace Mr Jones and so decided to split his extensive job role between her London and Devizes offices. She hired Tamara Ray - who was able to cover both policy and ‘surgery only’ roles - in her Devizes office at the expense of Mrs Nurick. 'It was clear from our early experiences that she [Mrs Nurick] would struggle with more responsibility,' Mrs Perry told the hearing. 'The claimant required a lot of managing and support, particularly in the IT area and all of this lead me to believed that this would not be something she would not be able to do, she would be incapable. 'I could not afford to keep Mrs Nurick on doing a surgery only job and employ someone to do a local policy job. I found someone who could do both.' Mrs Perry said budgetary constraints from Westminster meant that she could only employ a limited number of staff members for her constituency. 'What I had realised was that I needed to have more local policy placement,' she added. 'With Mr Jones leaving there was a vacuum at the top of my team and I had decided that there was a restructuring that needed to happen. 'As a result of all of those changes I realised I couldn’t keep Mrs Nurick on in her role. 'I can only employ three and a half staff per 100,000 constituents. 'Everybody’s job has changed in London and the local office, there was a very substantial reshuffle.' Mrs Perry, who is comprehensively-educated, succeeded former Conservative chairman Michael Ancram as the MP for Devizes. Last year she raised eyebrows in the House of Commons tea room when she asked whether she needed to perform sex act on John Bercow before he would allow her to be heard. The Speaker had previously ‘overlooked’ Mrs Perry in a debate on tuition fees. The tribunal - expected to last for one day - continues. | Claire Perry, Conservative MP for Devizes, Wiltshire, has often backed the Coalition's austerity programme .

Tiger Woods has started hitting full shots with a driver again, raising hopes that he might be able to make his comeback at the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool next month. The 38-year-old American, who missed the first two majors of the season following back surgery, has been seen on the range at the Medallist club, near his home in Jupiter, Florida. Although it’s a long way from picking up a driver again to playing in the game’s showpiece event, the fact Woods is able to practice with every club in the bag for the first time in three months suggests his return to the game might not be too far away. Back trouble: Tiger Woods has missed the last two major championships through injury . Good news: The 14-time major champion has started to swing his driver again after back surgery . VIDEO Woods BACK hitting shots . Multiple sources told the Golf Channel in America that Woods is targeting the Open, which is still four weeks away and where he claimed one of his most famous major victories in 2006. That came just a month after the death of his father Earl, and Woods wept openly on the 18th green as he dedicated his triumph to the man who taught him the game. For the sport itself, the return of the 14-time major champion cannot come soon enough. Martin Kaymer’s eight-stroke triumph in the US Open on Sunday proved a huge turn-off for television audiences, with viewing figures in America down as much as 70 per cent on Justin Rose’s narrow victory over Phil Mickelson a year earlier. Emotional: Woods won the 135th Open Championship at Hoylake shortly after the death of his father . Woods's agent Mark Steinberg told the PGA Tour's website: 'Tiger is making continual progress.

Tunisia's national assembly approved the country's landmark new constitution -- its first since the ouster of longtime president Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali three years ago. The text was passed with 200 votes, the state news agency TAP reported. Twelve members voted against the measure, and four abstained. Alongside the vote, Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa appointed a caretaker Cabinet as part of a deal to end a crisis between Tunisia's Islamist party and its secular opposition until new elections. The approval of the new constitution is one of the last steps to establishing full democracy in the North African country, the cradle of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings that toppled autocratic leaders in one of the most conservative corners of the world. Its drafting lasted two years and exposed a deep rift between the Islamist Ennahda party and the secular opposition. But after months of political crisis and sporadic violence, Sunday's milestones contrast sharply with messy transitions in regional neighbors Libya and Egypt -- still caught up in turmoil after ousting their own longtime leaders in 2011 revolts. Celebrating the vote, assembly members made victory signs and sang the national anthem, TAP reported. "All eyes around the world are fixed on Tunisia's democratic experience," assembly chief Mustafa Ben Jaafar was quoted as saying by TAP. Political turmoil . The once-banned moderate Islamist Ennahda party won elections in October 2012 -- the first after Ben Ali's ouster in January 2011 -- and formed an Islamist-led government. But political turmoil has beset the country, which relies heavily on foreign tourists for revenues. Under a deal agreed between Ennahda and the opposition, the ruling party agreed to hand over power once parties had finished writing a new constitution and appointed an electoral commission to oversee new elections. TAP said Jomaa's new government was made up of 21 ministers and seven secretaries of state. It consists mainly of technocrats . Jomaa, an engineer and former minister, was appointed premier in December. Tunisia represents a rare bright spot in a still volatile region following the Arab Spring uprisings. Two years after Moammar Gadhafi was toppled, Libya's government is weakened by political infighting and fragile security forces, a constitution has yet to be drafted and armed militias do as they please in a country awash with weapons. Egypt's own elected Islamist president, Mohamed Morsy, was deposed by the army. The country's interim government has labeled his Muslim Brotherhood organization as a terrorist group. Egyptians this month approved their new constitution as part of a transition plan from army chief Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi after he ousted Morsy in July.

The father of a girl who plunged 90ft to her death from a tower block window after a fight with her ex-boyfriend has launched a court battle to have her accidental death inquest verdict overturned. An inquest into 17-year-old Emily Mather's death ruled that she pushed open the bedroom window of a ninth-floor flat and accidentally fell head-first through it, shortly after an argument with her ex-boyfriend who was in the next room. But her father, Malcolm, believes the full facts surrounding her death are yet to emerge and has taken the case to the High Court. Emily Mather (left) died after plunging 90ft from the ninth floor window of a tower block, but her father, Malcolm (right), wants her 'accidental death' inquest verdict overturned . Miss Mather, who lived in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, with her father and sister Beth had been out with her friend Laurie Coxon, now 25, in June 2006. They decided to contact Laurie's then boyfriend David Metcalf to ask if they could stop by at his flat in Eslington Court. Miss Mather's ex-boyfriend Michael Boslem was also at the home and she was worried there was going to be 'some trouble' because of their recent break-up. An argument between Mr Boslem and Miss Mather, who had recently had an abortion, broke out at the flat, the inquest in October this year heard. The 17-year-old then went into the bedroom where she was left alone. South Tyneside coroner Terence Carney ruled that Miss Mather, who had been drinking, stood on the bed to push open the window but accidentally fell out as she did so. However, Mr Mather, 48, claims there is no evidence to suggest his daughter touched the window. He said: 'I don't think she could have been standing on the bed, opened the window and fallen out. 'There were no fingerprints or other evidence on that window.' A coroner ruled that 17-year-old Miss Mather, who had been drinking, fell out of the bedroom window of Eslington Court tower block (pictured) while trying to open a window . Yesterday Mr Mather began his fight at the High Court to overturn the inquest's accidental death verdict. 'It's been hard work but the whole family are determined to continue the process,' he said. 'It's up to the High Court to grant the judicial review but of course we want a positive outcome and we want to get the inquest verdict overturned.' After the hearing last month, solicitor Sefton Kwasnik, speaking on behalf of the family, hit out at the coroner's verdict. He said: 'It's astounding to say that Emily opened that window when there is no physical evidence that details this having taken place. 'For the coroner to say that this was an accident caused by Emily's actions is mystifying.' Miss Mather, an award-winning sixth-form student, was studying for her A-levels at the time of her death and wanted to work with children. Her father last saw her on the night she died when he gave her some pocket money. The following morning two police officers arrived at his home deliver the tragic news that his daughter was dead. A post-mortem examination revealed Emily died of a spinal cord injury due to a fracture to the cervical spine and a fall from a height. Investigations revealed that Emily had alcohol, pholcodine, which was identified as a cough medicine, and traces of cocaine in her system. The restraining arm on the bedroom window was detached and damaged. | Emily Mather, 17, was killed after falling from a tower block window in 2006 .

(CNN) -- For the residents of Christchurch, New Zealand, time stopped at 12.51pm on February 22, 2011, when a massive earthquake ripped through the city, destroying homes, lives and businesses. One year on, reminders are never too far away, from the broken buildings to frequent aftershocks that rattle the city every day. Some are too minor to feel; others cause a sharp intake of breath. "February, 22, 2011... is a date permanently etched into all of our minds, a date that will go down in the history of New Zealand as one of our darkest days," Prime Minister John Key told crowds gathered for a civic memorial service in the city Wednesday. The magnitude 6.3 quake shook the city for a matter of seconds, but it was long enough to kill 185 people from 14 countries. Many more were injured. The tremor brought down buildings in the city center in the middle of the working day, trapping workers and triggering a national state of emergency as rescuers scrambled to save lives. Most of the victims -- 115 -- were buried in the rubble of the Canterbury Television (CTV) building, which was later found by a government report to have been poorly constructed. One survivor, Anne Vos, spoke to the media by cellphone as she lay trapped under her desk in the rubble of the five-story Pyne Gould Corporation building. After being pulled out, 24 hours later, she told CNN, "I was finding it hard to breathe, and I really thought that was it for me. I thought 'this is it - I'm not coming out of here.'" Anne Vos: A survivor's story . One year later, Christchurch remains locked in recovery mode, a city carved into zones labeled by color to indicate the severity of the earthquake damage to homes and land. For residents in the red zone, there is no future there. Around 6,800 homes, many clustered along the Avon River, have been designated for destruction. The government says around 46% of residents in the red zone have accepted its offer to buy their land. Some have cut their ties with the area; others are still wading through insurance claims on homes waiting to be destroyed. Before the quake, 22-year-old desktop publisher Sarah Boyd lived with her partner in Avonside, a small suburb that has now been condemned. "It was a tiny wee suburb and nearly every house there has gone," she said. "They said that our house was sinking towards the river. They reckon all land would travel towards the river." They moved out of the red zone in November, but Boyd said their new home suffered damage during the February quake and subsequent aftershocks, and may also need to be demolished. Boyd works at the office at the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, which suffered a blow during the quake with the near collapse of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. It is currently being propped up with shipping containers while work continues to determine exactly how much of the building can be saved. The brightly-colored containers can been seen dotted through the city, at the makeshift "Re:Start" mall in the city center and along roads below unstable cliffs considered to be at risk of landslide. "It's a city of two parts really," said Matt O'Connell, the earthquake recovery coordinator for the Catholic Diocese, who works in the same office as Boyd. Last week he took part in an Ecumenical door-knocking team made up of representatives from varying faiths in the city. "Even just on one street we met a family there who are struggling for food who had eight to ten people living in a two-bedroom house," he said. "A lot of people are tired, stressed and frustrated. The rebuild seems to be going relatively slowly. There are lots of issues." Recovery efforts are being hampered by frequent aftershocks. The February 22 quake was one itself, after a larger, magnitude 7.1 quake the previous September. That one ran deeper so caused less damage. The government said there have been 10,000 quakes since last September, including 39 of a magnitude of five or greater. "We had a really good run from June until December the 23rd, then we got hit with a magnitude six quake, two days before Christmas. It really, really set people back. There was further damage, no one was injured, but it was a psychological blow for many people," O'Connell said. While people struggle to recover, work continues to rebuild shattered buildings and infrastructure. Prime Minister Key has said the recovery plan is making "good progress." Construction has started on 26 "significant" commercial buildings in the city center. Work on 80% of the 1,406 buildings marked for partial or full demolition has been completed. And 200 infrastructure repair projects are now underway, he said. "Long term Christchurch will look much different but it will be vibrant, new and a great place to live," Key added. Thousands have not stayed around to find out. Population figures released in October, the first numbers made public since the quake, showed more than 10,000 people had left the city in the year to June 2011. On the eve of the anniversary, the city buried the unidentified remains of four people who were killed in the quake in a new cemetery. It will be one of the more somber reminders of that day. The city came to a halt for two minutes at 12.51 local time, as residents paid their respects to those who were killed. Tomorrow they'll get back to the long, drawn-out task of rebuilding their lives and moving forward. | Magnitude 6.3 quake shook city on February 22, 2011 .

By . Ted Thornhill . PUBLISHED: . 07:04 EST, 10 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 12:17 EST, 10 January 2014 . Edward Snowden could put U.S. lives at risk in Afghanistan, say Congressmen who claim most of his stolen documents related to ongoing military operations . Two congressmen say a classified Pentagon report on former National Security Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden asserts that most of the documents he took concerned current military operations. ‘The vast majority of the material was related to the Defense Department, and our military services,’ not NSA operations, House Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers said in an interview Thursday. Revelation: Two congressmen say a classified Pentagon report on Snowden asserts that most of the documents he took concerned current military operations . ‘Clearly, given the scope and the types of information, I have concerns about operations that would be ongoing in Afghanistan,’ Rogers said, as well other ongoing military operations. The ranking committee member C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger said Snowden tipped off U.S. enemies to spying methods used to defend the country, and potentially jeopardized U.S. troops overseas. They said the classified report by the Defense Intelligence Agency found that Snowden stole approximately 1.7 million intelligence files that ‘concern vital operations of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force.’ A lawyer representing Snowden said the U.S. government is exaggerating the potential harm of Snowden's actions. ‘There is not a shred of evidence that any adversary has seen any documents other than those that have been published by journalists who had access to this material,’ said Ben Wizner, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union. The classified report by the Defense Intelligence Agency found that former NSA analyst Snowden stole approximately 1.7 million intelligence files . House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers has attacked Snowden over his disclosures . Glenn Greenwald, a journalist who received documents from Snowden and reported about them last year for the Guardian, said in a statement that ‘the overwhelming majority’ of documents he had received dealt with NSA surveillance on the communications and online activities of American citizens and others around the world. ‘As every journalist who has worked with Snowden has said, he was adamant that we very carefully review the materials he gave us and only publish what is in the public interest, while withholding anything that would endanger the lives of innocent people or invade people's privacy,’ Greenwald said. ‘We have fully honored our agreement with him when publishing and intend to continue doing so.’ Quoting the classified Pentagon report, Mr Rogers and Mr Ruppersberger said the disclosures have already tipped off U.S. adversaries to U.S. defense methods, and hurt U.S. allies helping with counterterrorism, cybercrime, trafficking, and stopping weapons of mass destruction. They offered no specifics and none of the documents that have been published so far through Snowden associate Glenn Greenwald appeared to have dealt with current military operations. Director of National Intelligence spokesman Michael Birmingham said intelligence officials are continuing to assess damage from the material Snowden took when he left the country in June 2013. ‘We've been clear that these leaks have been unnecessarily and extremely damaging,’ he said in a statement Thursday. ‘As a result of these disclosures, terrorists and their support networks, now have a better understanding of our collection methods and, make no mistake about it, they are taking countermeasures,’ he said. | Former NSA analyst Snowden stole 1.7m files, two Congressmen said .

Harry Redknapp believes England could win Euro 2016 and insists 'we might as well all give up' if tournament victory eludes the Three Lions next year. Roy Hodgson's side could not progress beyond the 2014 World Cup group stages, but Redknapp believes it should be a different story next summer in France with the current crop of young players at England's disposal.

Former QPR manager Harry Redknapp believes England are capable of winning Euro 2016 . He said Roy Hodgson's squad ought to give up if they don't as it is the best chance England will get .

(CNN) -- Publicly, New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez has maintained he never took performance-enhancing drugs from a clinic in Miami. But privately, he confessed he did, according to a story published Wednesday by the Miami Herald. Rodriguez reportedly admitted in late January to using steroids, facing prosecutors and federal agents who gave him immunity. The Miami Herald said it had reviewed a 15-page synopsis of Rodriguez's meeting. "Yes, he bought performance-enhancing drugs from Biogenesis of America, paying roughly $12,000 a month to Anthony Bosch, the fake doctor who owned the clinic," the article stated. "Yes, Bosch gave him pre-filled syringes for hormone injections into the ballplayer's stomach, and even drew blood from him in the men's room of a South Beach nightclub. ..." When contacted by CNN, a spokesman for Rodriguez, Ron Berkowitz, declined to comment on the report, which details Rodriguez's involvement with the now-defunct Biogenesis anti-aging clinic in Miami. According to federal officials, Bosch, the founder of that clinic, dispensed performance-enhancing drugs to professional baseball players and to impressionable high school athletes in South Florida and teenagers in the Dominican Republic. He surrendered to the Drug Enforcement Administration in August. The investigation led to the suspension of 14 players for violating the league's drug policy. In addition to Rodriguez, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, the 2011 National League MVP, was suspended. Rodriguez was initially given a 211-game suspension. The penalty was later reduced to 162 games, but he still missed the 2014 season. A lawyer whose client is accused of conspiring with Bosch to distribute steroids to high school athletes issued a statement on the Miami Herald story. "I can for your report confirm that the report by the Herald is accurate as to what Rodriguez said. I don't have a dog in this fight. My client has no involvement with any major league players concerning the use of banned substances," said attorney Frank Quintero. Rodriguez is eligible to return to the field with the Yankees for the 2015 season. CNN's Jason Carroll, Ray Sanchez and Susan Candiotti contributed to this report. | The Miami Herald reports Rodriguez confessed behind closed doors in January .

(CNN) -- If the word "club" conjures images of ear-shattering music, dense smoke and multiple charges of FUI (Flirting Under the Influence), consider this article an aspiration setter. The private members club is an elite place, soaked in prestige and exclusivity. Servicing only a small, select group of people, attaining membership isn't easy. And that's precisely the point. "Most maintain their exclusiveness through an application process that begins with recommendations by at least two current members followed by an approval by the club's committee," says Vincent Lai, managing director of concierge service Quintessentially Lifestyle, Greater China. "Those who are invited fulfill certain requirements, they usually have economic capital but most importantly they carry a lot of social clout," he adds. "Membership allows one to dine, drink and play at a city's most exclusive addresses, with excellent facilities and usually a late license. The cache of knowing you've been let in -- that's always a big attraction," says Emyr Thomas, director of Bon Vivant concierge service. There are more exclusive clubs than these, such as The Giga Society, a high IQ club that is, in theory, only open to one in 1 billion people. But this is a selection of some of the world's most exclusive clubs that don't require mammoth brains, special educational histories or other fortuitous qualifications.

(CNN) -- For the first few moments of her life, Veronica was with her birth mother. For the next two years, she was with her adoptive parents. And for the last week, the toddler has been with her biological father, over 1,000 miles away from the only home she'd ever known. It's been a long, complicated journey for young Veronica -- one made possible by a federal law meant "to protect the best interests of Indian children" that, in the process, has tugged at the heartstrings of all involved. The story began in 2009, when Veronica's biological mother and father, Dusten Brown, signed a legal document agreeing to put the girl up for adoption. Brown's attorney, Shannon Jones, says that her client signed the waiver but didn't quite understand it. Soon after the girl was born, Brown -- a U.S. Army soldier -- headed off on a 1-year deployment. It was then that the baby moved on as well, to the Charleston, South Carolina, home of Matt and Melanie Capobianco. It was an open adoption, family friend Jessica Munday said. That meant the girl's birth mother could and did maintain a relationship with the girl. But Brown, the biological father, wasn't on board. Four months after Veronica's birth, he began legal proceedings seeking custody of her. "My client has been fighting for custody of his daughter since shortly after her birth," Shannon Jones, Brown's Charleston-based lawyer, said by e-mail. "He loves this child with all his heart." Brown appeared to win that battle late last year. On New Year's Eve, he arrived in South Carolina, picked up Veronica from her adoptive parents, and headed west to his home in Oklahoma. "It's awful," Matt Capobianco said days later to CNN affiliate WCIV. "Everyone keeps saying how bad they feel for us. But, I mean, she's a 2-year-old girl that got shoved in a truck and driven to Oklahoma -- with strangers." Key to Brown's case is a 1978 federal law called the Indian Child Welfare Act. Its aim is to "promote the stability and security of Indian tribes and Indian families by the establishment of minimum federal standards to prevent the arbitrary removal of Indian children from their families and tribes and to ensure that measures which prevent the breakup of Indian families are followed in child custody proceedings." Brown is enrolled in the Cherokee Nation, a "federally-recognized government" of Indians that has "inherent sovereign status," based near Tahlequah, Oklahoma. That means young Veronica has Indian blood, as well. Chrissi Ross Nimmo, assistant attorney general for the Cherokee Nation, says that the protections inherent in the Child Welfare Act are clear and important. Applied as she sees it, Brown -- as an Indian and the biological father of Veronica -- is entitled to custody of the girl. "There's a placement preference. If children are removed by the state or if they're placed in private adoption, the first preference is for a family member," Nimmo told CNN affiliate KOTV. Others disagree. CNN legal analyst Avery Freedman, for one, said the law was misused in this case. "It's a wonderful law which seeks to protect the integrity of ... Native American families," she said. "But it cannot be used as a bludgeon to destroy existing families." Jones insists that Brown "would still be entitled to custody of his daughter under South Carolina law." "It is important to understand that the Indian Child Welfare Act was not used as a loophole in this action," the lawyer said. Whatever the legal arguments, the emotions are still raw. The Capobiancos have spoken to Veronica once since she left, on New Year's Day. "She said, 'Hi Mommy! Hi Daddy! She sounded really excited to hear us. And she said, 'I love you!' numerous times," Melanie Capobianco told WCIV. She added that her husband felt like he'd failed as a father, sending her off with people she didn't know and not knowing what the little girl must think of them and the whole situation. Melanie Capobianco said she is worried about what's next, and how Veronica is getting through each day and night. "We just wish we could be there, if she was afraid," she said. | A Cherokee Indian man wins custody of his 2-year-old biological daughter .

Lottery players in America are bracing the cold weather to snap up $2 Powerball tickets, with tonight's jackpot up to a whopping $317 million. It marks the biggest prize fund in almost a year, with 18 consecutive draws since December 3 2014 and no big-prize winner. The $317 jackpot marks an increase of $31.2 million from Saturday's prize, which vendors say is down to 'brisk' ticket sales. Feeling lucky? Lottery players in America are bracing the cold weather to snap up $2 Powerball tickets, with tonight's jackpot up to a whopping $317 million . The prize marks the 11th largest Powerball jackpot ever and the 22nd largest in U.S. history when including Mega Millions, the other national lottery game. Cut-off times for ticket sales vary by state but typically end 59 minutes before the drawing. The winning numbers will be announced at 10:59pm ET (0259 GMT) on local television networks and on the official Powerball website. The jackpot - won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball - is either an annuitized prize paid out over 29 years or a lump sum payment. For tonight's draw, the one-time lump sum payment would be $220.6 million. The second prize - won by matching five white balls in any order - is $1,000,000 paid in cash and any time a player matches the red Powerball, they win. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately 1 in 32. But the chances of winning the big prize, regardless of how many tickets a player buys, are one in 175 million. Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington, Peurto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Draws take place bi-weekly, on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Indiana leads the nation in Powerball jackpot wins at 38. The highest jackpot win for the state was for $314 million. The largest Powerball jackpot was $590.5 million, won by a Florida woman in May 2013. Before the latest prize, Powerball's last major jackpot was in February 2014 when it was $425 million. | It marks the biggest prize fund in almost a year, with 18 consecutive draws since December 3, 2014 and no big prize winner .
